While you don't need to drink more than normal on a long-haul flight, you will need to keep hydrated. Having your own water bottle at hand will prevent you from having to make many trips to the water facility on the plane. You can't bring water through the security checkpoint, so make sure you empty your water bottle before going through - you can fill it up again on the other end. You'll definitely want to sleep (or at least try to) on your flight. You'll be much more comfortable doing so with your own neck pillow and sleep mask. Many airlines will provide you with a small pillow and sleep mask, but these tend to be quite uncomfortable and the pillow often slips from under your head. A memory-foam neck pillow is a great travel companion, offering lots of comfort and sturdy support for your head. Your feet might swell if you sit for too long, so taking off your shoes can help you feel more comfortable. You won't want to walk around the plane barefoot, so wear some soft socks. Avoid wearing socks that are too scratchy, as they can hamper your ability to get comfortable. The temperature in airplanes tends to vary between extremes of hot and cold. Wearing a scarf or jersey can help you cope with a cold environment and they can be easily removed if you feel too hot. A compact travel blanket is a useful travel companion, but may not be necessary as many airlines offer a blanket on overnight flights. Planes are noisy places. If you're a light sleeper, wearing noise-canceling headphones while you sleep can help you have a more restful journey. Airplane food is notoriously bad. Bring some snacks that you like along with you and eat them when you feel hungry. Having small snacks between meals will keep your energy levels up. Granola bars and small chocolate bars make great airplane snacks. Individually wrapped morsels are particularly good for long flights because they help to keep the area around your seat clean. For a savory snack, consider bringing little cheese rounds or jerky.

Q: Old wooden pallets tend to be very rough and splintery. It's important to use heavy work gloves when handling them. You may like to sand them down before using them. If you do this, use a face mask and eye protection. These are a bit harder to find. This means the wood was heat treated, not chemically treated, in order to preserve the wood when it was made. It's important to use a new, unused HT pallet if growing edible plants. This is important, as wood can absorb chemicals after manufacture, for example if the pallet came into contact with chemicals such as bitumen or petrol when in use. That's why you want to use a new pallet for growing edible plants. When the wood gets wet it's also a good breeding ground for bacteria such as salmonella, E. coli and Listeria. For any kind of use, it may be best to avoid old pallets that you suspect may be contaminated with chemicals. Avoid bringing old pallets into the house. You can mitigate the bacterial risk by scrubbing your pallet clean with soapy water and weakened bleach, or soaking in a disinfectant solution. Over time the bacteria may build up again though. Beware of protruding nails and the wood shattering into sharp pieces when you work with it. If you notice any obvious signs of damage, you should work with a different pallet instead.
A: Protect yourself from splinters. Look for pallets stamped with 'HT". Avoid using older pallets, as they may be contaminated. Check pallets carefully for signs of damage to the wood.

Article: Take a deep breath. Don't take the other person's anger personally. Instead, focus on keeping an emotional distance from them. Keep that intention in mind as this person acts out in anger. Avoid becoming agitated, raising your voice, or fighting with the person. Instead, actively think about skills you can use to help the other person regulate the situation enough to have a balanced conversation. Remember that anger is always rooted in someone's personal pain. It's not about you, even if the person is taking out their feelings on you. You are not responsible for diffusing their anger. If they are not willing to work toward calm, disengage as soon as possible. People tend to mimic the behavior of those around them. Keeping calm may help the other person to slow or stop their anger. Even if the other person is shouting at you, respond to them as calmly as you can. If they are too worked up to communicate rationally, don't say anything until they quiet down a little. If you raise your voice, you'll only fuel the person's anger. Don't encourage them to fight. Saying something like "Settle down" or "Relax" will probably just make the person angrier. They may resent being told what to do and feel like you are brushing off their problem. Create a connection with the person by acknowledging their anger instead. Say something like, "It seems like this is really bothering you. Can we talk about it?" or "I want to understand how you feel and I think that would be easier if we could talk instead of yelling." If you are in a public place, ask the person if there is somewhere you can go to work out the issue. If you feel nervous going on your own, ask someone along to act as a moderator and serve as your witness. When the person tells you what's wrong, empathize with them. Make them feel like you're on their side, even if you don't agree with them. They will be less likely to turn violent if they feel understood. For instance, you might say something like, "So you're hurt that no one told you about the change of plans ahead of time, is that right? You feel like no one wanted to include you." Maintain an open, relaxed posture. Make eye contact with the angry person, but keep your expression non-confrontational. Don't make animated gestures, put your hands on your hips, or fold your arms. Move slowly and calmly. Give the angry person plenty of space. This also gives you some protection if they do become violent.
