Problem: Article: It is especially important you use a tall glass with the strawberry Mojito, since the strawberries add some volume to the cocktail. Make sure you layer your drink in this way, so the mint leaves are protected from the muddler and are less likely to shred. If you're not into the texture of muddled strawberries, you can also puree them in a blender and add with the rum. Your cocktail will be a little smoother, and you can even strain out the little seeds if you want. Make sure your strawberries are hulled (the stems removed). Because the strawberries are naturally sweet, you may want to reduce the amount of sugar. (A classic Mojito uses about two teaspoons of sugar, this recipe cuts that in half.) If your muddler has an end with spikes on it, you can use that side to crush the strawberries--just make sure the mint leaves are on the very bottom of the glass so they don't tear. Muddle until the strawberries are crushed and have released their juices. To avoid releasing bitter chlorophyll from the mint, use the leaves only and discard the stems. Don't shred the leaves when you muddle, they should appear crumpled when you're finished, not torn and smashed into oblivion. The texture of the sugar will help release the flavorful oils from the mint. The sugar will absorb the oils, plus the flavor of the strawberry, making your cocktail even more delicious. A white (or light or silver) rum is preferable, especially a Cuban rum if you can find it. A dark rum will add extra spice and a strong molasses flavor, which may not be welcome in a Mojito. A darker rum will also affect the color of your beverage--you want the liquid to be clear to highlight the crisp green and pink of your ingredients. If you decided to puree your strawberries, add the puree to your drink now. You can also add a few small slices of strawberry if you like the look of fruit in your glass. Use enough ice cubes to fill the glass about 3/4 of the way to the top. Garnish with a strawberry and sprig of mint.
Summary: Add mint, sugar, lime juice, and strawberries to a tall, sturdy glass. Press the muddler into the glass and twist. Add 2 jiggers (3 oz or 88 ml) of rum and stir, blending all your flavors together. Add ice cubes and top with club soda.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Some people have luck with taking fish oil supplements, particularly those with EPA and DHA, which are omega-3 fatty acids. The idea is that the Western diet is low in omega-3 fatty acids. These acids may have anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, a supplement may help with tenderness and stiffness, particularly in the morning. Choose a supplement with at least 1,000 mg of combined EPA and DHA. However, take fish oil with caution, as it can decrease your blood's ability to clot. You can also increase your intake of these acids from natural sources, such as flax seed and algae. Some evidence shows GLA (another omega-3 fatty acid) may also be helpful. Borage, evening primrose, and black currant seeds all contain GLA, which you can take in a supplement form. However, be aware that these can interact with other medications you may be on. For instance, evening primrose may interact with psychiatric drugs, while borage can increase your risk of liver damage. Try 2.8 grams a day of borage oil, 10.5 grams a day of black currant seed oil, or 6 grams a day of evening primrose. Curcumin the active ingredient found in the spice turmeric, said to be anti-inflammatory. You can curcumin directly from eating turmeric, or you can take it as a supplement. Some people who take a supplement of curcumin find they have less swelling and stiffness. Some also find they can walk farther. Take 500 mg of curcumin 2 times per day. Always be sure to check with your doctor before you begin taking curcumin or turmeric for RA. Cat's claw, also known as uncaria tomentosa, can help with inflammation. In fact, there is some evidence it works like prescription rheumatoid arthritis drugs. Some people who take this supplement notice less joint swelling. It may also help with the pain. You can take 250-350 mg daily. You shouldn't take cat's claw if you have tuberculosis, low blood pressure, or if you're on a blood-thinning or immune-suppressant medication. Some patients with rheumatoid arthritis take a supplement of feverfew. They believe it helps with grip strength. You can take this supplement in powder form, as much as 70 to 86 milligrams of the powder daily. This supplement, sometimes called Thunder God Vine, has been used in China for hundreds of years to treat joint pain. It also may help with stiffness, grip strength, and swelling. You can take 60 milligrams a day. This herb is highly controversial, as it has been known to have serious side effects ranging from infertility to death. Only use TWH with extreme caution, and always consult your doctor before starting a TWH treatment.

SUMMARY: Try fish oil to reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain. Use curcumin for swelling and stiffness. Use cat's claw to help with swelling and pain. Take feverfew to improve your grip. Take Tripterygium wilfordii hook F (TWH) to treat joint pain.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: More children suffer from OCD than most people realize. According to the director of the Children's Center for OCD and Anxiety in Philadelphia, more than a million children in the US have OCD. That means, 1 in 100 children in America have OCD. Unlike adults who can recognize they have OCD, children do not understand that they have OCD. Instead, children may view their repetitive thoughts or actions as shameful and feel like they are going crazy. This makes many children too embarrassed to tell an adult of their problems. The average age that OCD manifests is 10.2 OCD seems to appear equally in boys and girls. One part of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a tendency to obsess. Obsessions are persistent or repetitive thoughts, images, ideas, or impulses that rise repeatedly into a person's consciousness. The child cannot shake the thoughts, which become increasingly realistic to him. The unwanted thoughts can be frightening and if unresolved, they can leave your child anxious and distracted, making them appear mentally unbalanced. These thoughts can cause a lot of doubt. These thoughts can tell the child something bad is going to happen to someone they care about. The second part of OCD is a tendency toward compulsive behavior. Compulsions are excessively repetitive and rigid behaviors or actions that are performed to reduce anxiety, ward off bad thoughts, or banish something dreaded. The child can do these actions mentally or physically. The actions are often in response to obsessions to help lessen the fear and can seem like strong habits. In general, compulsions are easier to spot you don't necessarily know what your child is thinking, but if you pay attention, you'll be able to observe compulsive behavior. Some parents believe the symptoms of OCD are just a phase. They also believe their children are acting out to get attention. If your child has OCD, this is not the case. OCD is a neurological disorder. It is not your fault that the child has OCD, so do not blame yourself. Children with OCD may have one or more co-occurring conditions. These include anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, eating disorders, autism, or Tourette Syndrome. Other disorders share similarities with OCD and can be confused with it. These include body dysmorphic disorder, hoarding disorder, hair-pulling and skin-picking disorder.
Summary:
Familiarize yourself with childhood OCD. Know how obsessions work. Understand how compulsions work. Understand that OCD isn't just a phase. Know what other disorders may accompany OCD.
