Q: Breath in slowly through your nose. You should see your lower abdomen and belly rise as you intake air into your lungs.Then breathe out slowly through your mouth. This process will slow the heartbeat and lower blood pressure. Imagine yourself in a situation where you are confidently facing your fear. Be very thorough with your visualizations. For example, visualize a specific set of stairs, who you are with, how each step feels etc. This will help you familiarize yourself with the scenario and build your confidence while reducing anxiety. Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can relax. Close your eyes and visualize a happy place. For example, a beach that you have visited. This will provide you with a coping mechanism to help manage anxiety levels. Although exercise will not cure your fear or phobia it will help with relaxation and managing anxiety levels. If your fear of stairs is closely related to a physical malady exercise may also help to strengthen your muscles which will make tackling stairs easier. Exercise can lead to muscle development and improve your overall physical fitness. Yoga is an excellent exercise that will focus on relaxation and breathing as well as developing core strength and flexibility. Exercise releases endorphins that can result in a calming sensation and help reduce stress and anxiety levels. In some instances herbal remedies can also help to decrease stress and anxiety levels. Kava is an herbal supplement that some studies have shown to be as effective as certain medications at reducing anxiety. It is recommended that you use Kava to treat anxiety under the supervision of a medical professional. In some cases anxiety levels can be caused by nutrient deficiencies. For example, magnesium supplements and drinking water may help with reducing anxiety.
A: Try deep breathing. Visualize yourself conquering your fear. Practice meditation. Take part in regular physical exercise. Reduce stress through herbal medicines and dietary changes.

Q: Many saltwater pools have a chlorine generator, feeder, or chlorinator that releases free chlorine into the water. Locate the control panel box and turn down the dial 1 level. Retest your water the following day and further adjust the dial or turn off the machine, if necessary. If you turn off the machine, be sure to test the water 2-3 times per day, and turn the machine back on when the chlorine drops below 3.0 ppm. You may have chlorine tablets or a chlorine floater in the pool. If so, remove these items immediately so they stop increasing the amount of chlorine in the water. Don't replace these items until the chlorine level has dropped below 3.0 ppm. Sunlight is incredibly effective at reducing the amount of chlorine in a pool! The UV rays break down the chlorine and allow it to evaporate. Simply leave your pool uncovered and exposed to direct sunlight. With no cyanuric acid (CYA) in the pool up to 90% of the chlorine can evaporate in as little as 2 hours on a hot, sunny day, so be sure the level doesn't drop below 1.0 ppm. Purchase a chemical that neutralizes chlorine, like sodium sulfite or sodium thiosulfate. Follow the instructions on the package for use. Typically, you'll add a dose to the skimmers with the filter running, and the chemicals will quickly lower the amount of chlorine in the water. You should be able to find these chemicals at pool supply stores and online. If the chlorine levels are really high, you can simply swap out some of the existing water for freshwater. Siphon 25% of the water out of the pool, then add freshwater to it. To siphon out the water: Submerge a tube in the pool and allow it to completely fill up with water. Plug 1 end of the tube and transfer it to an empty container at a lower elevation than the pool. Unplug the end of the tube and allow it to drain into the container. Pull the tube out of the pool when you've siphoned enough water.
A: Lower the output from the chlorine generator or feeder if you have one. Remove all chlorine additives from the pool, if applicable. Allow sunlight to break down the chlorine if the weather permits. Add a chlorine-neutralizing chemical to the pool for a quick fix. Replace 25% of the saltwater with freshwater if the levels are very high.

Q: Static splints support, protect, and straighten injured fingers by way of form-fitting piece of metal, plastic, etc. They are used in cases of trigger finger in order to hold a joint in place, regardless of whether it is just slightly bent or completely out of alignment. Since a proper fit is key to a static splint, it is best to accurately measure the length and diameter of the affected finger before choosing the splint. Static splints can be bought over the counter at pharmacies and supermarkets. They are made from basic metal, plastic and foam. Please note (again): You should consult your doctor first before using a static splint for anything less than short-term protection. Among other benefits, the doctor can help ensure that the splint is the proper type, size, and fit for your injury. Straighten the injured finger by supporting it with the other hand. Slowly slide the static splint along the underside of the trigger finger until it fits into place. Make sure to check if the static splint fits completely and the finger is really straight. If the finger is slightly bent either forward or backwards, it can lead to the development of sores at the knuckle. Wrap the first piece of tape firmly once around in between the first and second knuckles of the trigger finger until the tape runs out. Repeat in between the second and third knuckle of the affected finger until the tape runs out. Do this by pinching the nail for about two seconds. If the nail returns to pinkish appearance within one to two seconds, then it has good blood circulation. If it takes more than two seconds, the blood flow is insufficient because the splint is too tight. Removing and reapplying the splint is the best option. This is the average time it takes a trigger finger to heal. For some people it will heal in only two to three weeks time; it depends on the extent and severity of the inflammation in the tendons. Make sure to change the tape twice daily or as necessary. Depending upon your injury and your doctor's advice, you may only need to use the splint while sleeping/resting. This is more convenient, of course, but full-time splinting will likely provide better protection and healing. When the splint and tape becomes soiled and dirty, replace it with a new one. If trigger finger does not resolve after four to six weeks, you should contact your primary health provider for further assessment and management
A: Know when to use a static splint. Put the splint on the trigger finger. Cut your tape into two 10" (25 cm) pieces. Check the circulation of the affected finger. Use the splint for four to six weeks.

Q:
A:
Draw a human figure with normal proportions. Draw a 'V' for the collar of his shirt. Join the 'V' with straight shoulder lines joining at the base with a common line. Form an irregular box at its bottom joining it for the shirt's lower part. Extend further lines from the waistline downwards. Draw an inverted 'V' between the lines. Extend all the four lines at the bottom for the trousers. Next draw lines from the shoulders on both side of his body for the full-sleeves of the shirt. Draw a horizontal oval at the waistline taking the waistline as its dividing line. Draw the collars. Drop down a vertical straight line for the button line of the shirt. Draw a tiny triangle for the tie-knot cut at its base. Draw another triangle at the centre of the waistline for the tip of the tie. Join the triangles to form the tie. Draw all the details of the clothing with its folds and curves. Erase all unwanted lines. Color the character in his formal clothing.
