Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Practice relaxation techniques. Meditate. Avoid alcohol and nicotine.

Answer: There are lots of ways to relax, which can include journaling, playing or listening to music, and lighting candles and taking a bath. One way to relax that helps the mind and body is through progressive muscle relaxation. While lying down, systematically tense and relax certain muscle groups. You can start with your feet and move upward, tensing first your toes, then releasing the tension. Then move to your ankles, shins, knees, thighs, buttocks, stomach, arms, chest, neck, and face. Set aside 5-10 minutes each day to practice relaxation. Regular meditation can help rewire the brain and activate parts of the brain responsible for joy and serenity. Mindfulness meditation can be used to deal with stress and anxiety. Simply be fully in each moment and observe yourself and your surroundings without placing judgment or evaluation on any experience. You can practice mindfulness while walking (noticing each step you take, the pace at which your body moves), and in sitting meditation by observing each thought that comes to mind, yet not judging it or following it, but just observing. Practice mindfulness while eating. Smell the food before putting it in your mouth. Once eating the food, observe the texture, flavor, and temperature. Do this with each bite you take. Both alcohol and nicotine may give a small feeling of relief, but actually increase anxiety as they wear off. Resist your urge to turn to alcohol or nicotine as ways to cope with stress and anxiety. Instead, use relaxation, meditation, or another coping strategy.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Lay each t-shirt on your self-healing mat. Cut 17 inch (43.2cm) squares of interfacing for each of your t-shirt blocks. Heat up an iron. Iron the back of the interfacing to fuse it to your t-shirt. Cut the t-shirt/fusing square to 15 inches (38.1cm) for 14 inch (35.6cm) blocks and 13 inches (33.0cm) for 12 inch (30.5cm) blocks.

Answer: Center the logo and cut 15 inch (38.1cm) squares with a rotary cutter, if your final blocks will be 12 inches (30.5cm). Cut 17 inch (43.2cm) squares if your final blocks will measure 14 inches (35.6cm). Lay the t-shirt square with the logo down. Lay the fusible interfacing with the resin side down, on the back of your t-shirt square. Follow the package instructions to ensure you attach the fusing correctly. Use a rotary cutter or fabric scissors. This will give enough room for seam allowance.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide to seek custody as a non-parent. Fill out a Petition for Appointment of Guardianship form. Have your forms reviewed. Make copies of your forms. File the forms with your county clerk. Give notice to all parties. File Proof of Service forms with your county. Attend your hearing. File your court order.

Answer: A guardian can be a grandparent or other relative, or a friend or appointee of the state, who is interested in caring for the child while the parents are unable or unwilling to do so. It is not the same as a full adoption. Adoption legally erases any rights of the birth parents and declares the adopting parents to take on those rights. Guardianship just establishes custody, and leaves the birth parents an avenue to reestablish custody. The forms you need as well as interactive instructions for completing and filing the forms, are provided online. Following the instructions included with your forms, type or print neatly in blue or black ink, filling in each numbered item as necessary. California family court services can provide assistance. Just check with your local county court or online at the California court website. You county facilitator can look at forms to make sure that you have filled everything out correctly. You can find your family law facilitator by following the link for your county from the California Court's Family Law Facilitators List. You need to make a copy for yourself as well as both parents and any other relatives or agencies who are concerned with the child. The original will be filed with the court. The court will stamp the papers as "filed," keeping the original and returning the copies to you. Once the forms are filed, the court has approved the order and it is legally in motion. Serve the copies of the papers to the relatives and agencies who previously were caring for the child. To insure that everyone is fully aware that you have taken custody, the papers must be legally served by someone unconnected to the case, who is 18 years or older, to every concerned party. The server must fill out a "proof of service" form and return this to you. You will need one for each person you are giving notice to, or "serving" the forms to. After the papers have been served, the court needs to be notified that everyone involved in the case is aware of the petition. If the server gave the papers to the concerned parties in person, he or she will fill out the Proof of Personal Service form. If the server sent the papers by mail, they will fill out a different form, the Proof of Service by Mail form. Both of these are attached to Notice of Hearing--Guardianship or Conservatorship. You will be granted a hearing at which interested parties will have the opportunity to make statements regarding the motion. There may be an investigation or interview before the official hearing. Arrive on time, answer any questions clearly and politely, and do your best to make a good impression. The judge will then decide whether to grant your petition. If you are granted custody, you need to file the Order Appointing Guardianship of the Child with your county clerk. This confirms that the decision of the judge was what you were seeking and tells the city what has happened. If you do not file the official order it has not been certified. If your petition is granted and certified, you will need to follow up with yearly reports to the court on the status of the child and your guardianship.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn how salicylic acid works. Avoid salicylic acid shampoo in certain situations. Use over the counter salicylic acid shampoo. Wash with regular, non-medicated shampoo. Try prescription strength salicylic shampoo.

Answer:
Salicylic acid shampoos can help your scalp psoriasis by helping to remove the excess skin and scales of scalp psoriasis. The salicylic acid shampoo may cause the skin on your scalp to swell, then soften and peel off. There are certain situations where you should not use salicylic acid shampoos. These are situations where salicylic acid may cause you harm. Talk to your doctor before using salicylic acid if: You are pregnant, nursing, or may become pregnant You are taking any other medications for psoriasis You are taking any herbs, supplements, non-prescription medicines, unless you have been cleared by a doctor You have any open sores or cuts on your scalp You are allergic to any of the ingredients You have any kidney or liver issues, diabetes, a skin irritation, skin infection, or poor blood circulation You have a history of Reye syndrome If you are under the age of 18 If you are on ammonium sulfate, heparin/warfarin, steroids, methotrexate, aspirin, or sulfonylureas There are two different types of salicylic acid shampoos you can use. The first is over the counter shampoo. To use this, apply the shampoo to a dry scalp. Starting with five minutes, let the shampoo sit on your hair and scalp. Then rinse your hair thoroughly and wash your hair with non-medicated shampoo and conditioner. You can increase the leave in time for this shampoo up to one hour at a time. Just gradually increase the time in small increments. There are some other over the counter products that have lower amounts of salicylic acid as well as lactic acid, urea, or phenol that you can also try if the straight salicylic shampoo is too much for your mild psoriasis. Follow the instructions on the back of the bottle to know how often to use this shampoo. It will depend on the strength of the concentration of the salicylic acid in your shampoo. Once you have washed your hair with over the counter salicylic shampoo, you can use any additional non-medicated shampoo on your hair. This will help reduce any residual flaking on your scalp and help hydrate your hair. Follow the washing instructions for your normal shampoo like you always do. Medicated salicylic shampoo will be prescribed by your doctor. To start, wet your hair and scalp. Apply the shampoo to your hair using the applicator that comes with it. Massage the shampoo into your scalp. Next, rinse the shampoo thoroughly from your hair. Repeat this treatment daily unless you are otherwise directed by your doctor. Don't wash your hair with other shampoo after this treatment.
