Problem: Article: The most distressing symptom of endometriosis is pain and cramping that can occur in the abdomen and pelvic area. Fortunately, you may find that your endometriosis pain can be relieved by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, and aspirin. These drugs are good for any type of period cramps or pain during urination and bowel movements. If your pain increases during your menstrual period, consider starting to take NSAIDs about 24 hours before your period is due. Talk to your doctor about the best regimen of NSAIDs for you. In general, though, you can take 400 to 600 milligrams of ibuprofen orally every 4 to 6 hours. Do not take more than 3200 mg in a 24 hour period. For naproxen sodium, you can usually take 275 milligrams every 6 to 8 hours, not to exceed 1375 milligrams in any single day. Alternatively, you can try 325-650 milligrams of aspirin orally 3 or 4 times a day, but don't go over 4 grams. Always talk to your doctor before taking any medication. The omega-3 content in fish oil can help to reduce inflammation and lessen the severity of cramps and pain. Try taking 250 mg to 500 mg of fish oil supplements per day to see if they help you long-term.You can find fish oil supplements at most home goods stores.
Summary: Take over-the-counter NSAIDs to relieve pain and cramping. Take fish oil supplements to increase your omega-3 intake.

Problem: Article: Working with hot grease is a recipe for disaster. Burning yourself with grease won't help you get rid of it any faster. Not only can hot grease burn you, it can also burn through your trash bag or shatter a glass jar. It's better to be safe than sorry. Allow your grease to cool for at least 2 hours; adjust for more cooling time based on the volume of grease. If there's an unavoidable time-crunch for your grease disposal, you can line a cup with heavy duty foil and very carefully pour the hot grease into the cup. Place the cup in the freezer, and later remove the foil along with the frozen fat. The amount of grease you're dealing with will determine your method of removal. If there is a small amount of grease to dispose of, use a paper towel to wipe it out of the pan. For a large amount of grease, pour it into a sealable, disposable container. Since your grease container is going in the trash, try to use a container that would not otherwise be recyclable. If you don't have a container you're willing to part with, pour the grease into a dish and refrigerate until it solidifies. Then, scrape the grease out into the trash with a rubber spatula, and conclude by washing the dish. If you know you're going to be eating a lot of bacon and tossing the grease, think ahead. Save non-recyclable containers to use as grease-disposal vessels the next time you make a bacon batch. A paper towel soaked with a small amount of bacon grease can be placed in the trashor in your compost. A disposable container filled with bacon grease can be placed directly in the trash, or solidified grease can be scraped out of a container and deposited in the trash.
Summary: Wait for the bacon grease to cool to room temperature before attempting to handle it. Remove the bacon grease from the pan. Toss the grease in the trash!

Problem: Article: Preschool lessons should be fun, engaging, and should involve a variety of senses and skills. In general, activities that involve rote memorization or repetition will be less interesting to preschoolers than similar activities. Spend lots of unstructured time on the playground. While these might not seem like "lessons" in the traditional sense of the word, researchers have found that free play shapes development of the prefrontal cortex during a critical period of early childhood, which has lifelong implications for emotional regulation, planning, and problem solving. Centers in the classroom should be designed to encourage imaginative, cooperative play. This can encourage role playing, turn taking, and cooperation with peers. This can increase students interpersonal skills and self-confidence. Consider a center designed to mimic a playhouse, with a kitchen set, small toddler-sized table and chairs, baby dolls and bassinet, etc. Small, affordable toys from stores like Ikea or second hand shops can make this very affordable. Create a costume wardrobe. This can range from fancy costumes to simple silk scarves. You can often find costumes on sale right after Halloween, or simply bring creative clothing from a second hand store like overalls, a fancy princess dress, a cowboy hat, any type of uniform, etc. Plush stuffed animal toys are often the beginning of many creative games for preschoolers. Children can use their imagination to pretend that these are students in a classroom, pets in a home, animals in a rescue center or veterinary clinic, etc. Choose toys that you can easily wash every few months in a washing machine. This can often be difficult in large classes, but find a way to spend time with each child either daily or weekly, engaging in a small game or one-on-one reading time. Studies show that adult interaction is crucial for developing confidence and early literacy skills. It also reinforces the student-teacher bond which makes a child feel safer and more secure in school. In addition to one-on-one time, consider inviting parent volunteers to read to children once a week in small groups. The number of volunteers you get can determine the size of the groups; anything from one-on-one to groups of five students per adult will foster relationships and discussion that are key to early literacy.
Summary:
Remember that the most developmentally appropriate way for small children to learn is through play. Build a classroom around the idea of play. Build in adult interaction.
