Problem: Article: Remove the skewers from the grill with a pair of tongs and pile them on a separate clean plate. There will be a lot of heat trapped in between the layers, so wait a few minutes before you dig in. By the time you finish getting the rest of the meal together, the sprouts should have cooled down enough to eat. You can either leave the sprouts on the skewers to keep things simple, or scrape them off into a larger serving bowl that you can pass around the table. Flame-fired brussels sprouts pair perfectly with hearty grill staples like steaks, chicken, chops, or salmon. They'll also be right at home among the usual lineup of summer veggies, including corn on the cob and sliced tomatoes. They're such a versatile ingredient that you can't go wrong! Make your grilled brussels sprouts a featured dish in a vegan or vegetarian meal.
Summary: Allow the sprouts to cool before eating. Serve with your favorite grilled foods.

Problem: Article: When you're around your friend or family member, model positive thinking and optimism for them. Offer to help them come up with some mantras or affirmations to use when they start to feel paranoid. For instance, the person might find it helpful to repeat something like, "Everyone is too busy worrying about themselves to think about me," or "Even though I feel scared, I'm not really in danger." Encourage the person to write down the mantra and keep it with them so they can read it when they need it. Invite the person to share their thoughts with you or someone else they trust if they need a reality check. Encourage them to give people the benefit of the doubt if they aren't sure about someone's intentions towards them. This strategy works best for people with mild paranoia who can accept that their judgment is sometimes unsound. Severely paranoid people may not be willing to ask for other people's perspectives. A healthy lifestyle can make mental health issues easier to manage. Help your friend or family member find ways to cut down on stress, get enough rest, and maintain good diet and exercise habits. For example, including physical activity as a part of their daily routine can help improve their mood and boost cognitive functioning that may be impaired with paranoia. Many people with paranoia-related issues have unique talents or a successful career. Recognize the areas where your friend or family member shines, and encourage them to keep doing things they enjoy and are good at. Let's say your friend is really creative. You might encourage them to submit their artwork to a local art contest to keep them occupied and focus on positive activities. If your friend or family member has an illness like schizophrenia, help them come up with an emergency plan when they're stable. Gather important contact information like their doctor's phone number, and discuss who will take care of any children or pets they have if they are hospitalized. Have the person keep this information with them at all times, such as written on a card or on a piece of paper.
Summary: Help the person maintain a positive state of mind. Help the person put their paranoid thoughts into perspective. Encourage the person to adopt balanced habits. Encourage the person to contribute in areas of life where they excel. Prepare for crisis situations.

Problem: Article: You can use a mold-killing detergent, diluted bleach, or a commercial cleaner made specifically for killing mold. Don't mix anything other than water with bleach, as certain cleaning agents can produce highly toxic fumes when mixed with bleach. For a diluted bleach solution, mix three parts water with one part bleach in a bucket. Don't forget to test a small, discreet area first. Bleach and other chemicals can discolor concrete that's been colored or stained. Any organic material adjacent to the moldy area can be infected. Throw away any disposables like cardboard boxes. Set aside other removable items like furniture or area rugs. Use a heavy duty sponge or scrub brush to apply your chosen cleaning solution to all visible moldy areas on the concrete. Scrub the areas vigorously. If you're using mold-killing detergent, apply it directly to the spots and scrub it with a bristle brush. Don't use a wire brush, which can scratch concrete. Wear old clothes, rubber gloves, safety goggles and a respirator or dust mask. If the spots aren't lifting, leave the solution to sit for several minutes. Then scrub the areas with the solution until the mold is gone. Use a hot water pressure washer for the fastest and most effective rinse. Wear safety goggles, sturdy footwear and long pants. Use a pressure rating of at least 3000 psi with a flow rate of at least four gpm (gallons per minute). This should lift any organic matter that has seeped into the pores of the concrete. If you don't want to use a pressure washer, try a regular water hose. You can rent a pressure washer at a home or building supply store. You may need a van, pickup truck or SUV to transport it, and a friend to help load and unload it. Ask the rental agent how to use the washer and to give you any safety precautions. Find out if the washer comes with nozzles. Don't use settings finer than fifteen degrees. Never use a zero degree nozzle on a pressure washer. Once it's dry, inspect carefully for any mold that may not have been cleaned. If there is still visible mold, rinse the area clean and try one of the stronger methods you haven't used yet: diluted bleach or commercial cleaner. Leather, wood or inorganic furniture can be deep cleaned. Upholstered furniture with visible mold will need to be disposed of or reupholstered by a professional. Carpet that shows significant mold growth or is soaked completely through will need to be removed.
Summary:
Choose a cleaning agent to treat the mold. Remove affected items. Apply the solution. Let the solution soak. Rinse outdoor concrete. Dry interior concrete with a towel. Clean items you've set aside before placing them back in the area.
