" People are often told to face their fears by doing something that would normally terrify them. For someone suffering from a fear of heights, this could mean something like riding a roller coaster, going skydiving, or looking over the edge of a cliff. Recent research has shown that acrophobia is an innate, rather than a learned condition, which means that pushing acrophobics "in to the deep end" may have no effect at all. It may even aggravate the fear. Further research is needed to find a definitive cause for acrophobia. Until the fear is fully understood, it is not a good idea to expose acrophobics to extreme heights without first treating the fear with therapy, medication, etc. If a fear of heights keeps you from working, relaxing, or doing the things you love, it's a genuine condition and not something that you should try to tolerate. "Getting tough" or "just dealing with it" aren't good strategies for living with a real phobia. You can actually create extreme stress and make poor decisions if you try to hide your fear of heights with a tough exterior. You are stronger than you realize. Show strength by seeking real treatment. Meet with a doctor, psychiatrist, or experienced therapist to begin overcoming your fear.

Usually ginger comes in a big piece with branches attached at odd angles. Depending on the amount of ginger that you need, you may want to take a piece from the larger part of the root, or you may just want a couple of small branches. If you are using all of the root, trim the branches, so that you can peel them separately. If a few bits of ginger skin don't bother you, don't trim the branches. They will not get in the way of mincing the ginger. Using a spoon is the method of peeling ginger preferred by most chefs. Using a spoon allows you to remove the paper-thin skin of the ginger, without losing too much of the meat. Use a spoon with a very thin edge. Anchor the ginger on the cutting board on its flat side (if the bottom of the ginger is bumpy, just slice it off so that you have something flat to anchor with). Then use a brisk snapping motion to tear off the ginger skin with the side of the spoon. You will lose a lot of ginger using this method, but if you are in a rush, it will do. A small knife, such as a paring knife is best. Hold the ginger in your non-dominant hand, and use the paring knife to peel as you would an apple. Push the blade beneath the skin, and place your thumb on top of the hidden blade. Push the blade toward and past your thumb, with your thumb following the blade down the length of the ginger. Use your other hand to guide the direction of the cuts.
