Problem: Article: . Avoid plants that have the following characteristics: Poison ivy has 3 shiny green leaves and a red stem. It grows as a vine, typically along riverbanks or lake shores. It can also be found in woods or forests. As a common rule of thumb remember this simple rhyme: "Leaves of three, leave it be." Poison oak grows as a shrub and has 3 leaves like poison ivy. Poison oak is typically found on the West Coast of the U.S. Poison sumac is a woody shrub with 7 to 13 leaves arranged in pairs. It grows abundantly along the Mississippi River. Pets aren't sensitive to poison ivy or poison oak, but if the oils are trapped on their fur, then they could cause an allergic reaction in anyone who pets them. Use pet shampoo and wear rubber gloves while you're giving them a bath. If you are taking a hike or are camping in an area that grows poison ivy, bring extra bottles of cold water and rubbing alcohol. If you apply both of these immediately after coming in contact, you will greatly decrease the spread and pain associated with exposure. It's especially important if you're going into an area where you think you may find poison ivy or poison oak. Wear long sleeved-shirts, long pants and socks. Make sure that you wear closed-toe shoes, and always bring a spare change of clothes just in case of an accident.
Summary: Learn to identify poison plants Bathe your pets if they have been exposed to the plants. Bring preventative measures. Dress appropriately when going outdoors.

Problem: Article: If a loved one uses illegal drugs or takes prescription medications inappropriately, try to find out what they take. Ask them outright and let them know you're concerned about their safety. Narcan can reverse the effects of opiate drugs such as: Heroin Prescription pain medicine like fentanyl, morphine, methadone, buprenorphine, hydrocodone, and oxycodone Some common brand name medications such as Percocet, OxyContin, Vicodin, Percodan, Tylox, and Demerol If you or a loved one suffer from opiate addiction, talk to your doctor about getting Narcan to keep on hand. You may be able to obtain liquid Narcan that can be injected into a vein, muscle, or under the skin, or a nasal spray. You need a prescription to get Narcan in some states but not others. Automatic injection devices (Evzio) are sometimes available. These have voice guidance that can direct you or another on how to use the device. Use it once then throw it away. This is the BEST OPTION if you do not have medical training. You will probably not be able to administer Narcan to yourself if you are overdosing. Friends, family, and loved ones should know how to use the Narcan and where to find it. You may not always know what drug someone has overdosed on, or if they've used drugs at all. Don't waste time, but look very quickly for some signs that the victim may have overdosed on opiates. Scan quickly for prescription drug bottles lying around, a morphine or fentanyl patch on their body (remove it!) or visible drug paraphernalia like syringes, spoons, and tourniquets.
Summary: Know the victim's drug of abuse. Get Narcan from a doctor. Do a quick scan for signs of opiate overdose.

Problem: Article: Enter the audition room with a smile. Be polite to the casting director and bring energy into the room. Casting directors are usually tired, overworked, and have seen many other actors before you. Stand out by being energetic and friendly. Greet the casting director by introducing yourself. Shake their hand, if offered. The casting director may ask you to state your full name into the camera and turn to one side to see how you appear on camera. As you perform the script, make sure you pronounce your words clearly and loudly. Do not mumble or speak too low, as this will negatively impact your audition. Speak slowly and take your time. Use a positive, upbeat tone. As you will have the script memorized, look up at the casting director and make eye contact as you perform. Most casting directors are looking for actors who can be natural on camera, especially for television commercials. Try not to appear too staged in your audition. Project sincerity and honesty when you perform. Act like yourself. You may find your first read is much stiffer and staged than your second read. Try to relax, take deep breaths, and act more natural on your second read, if you are asked for one. After you do a first read, the casting director may ask you to improvise or give variety. Change up how you approach the script. Alter your voice and your body language. Do a different character or persona when you perform the script. Most casting directors will ask you to do this so it is smart to have a few alternative interpretations of the script on hand for the audition. The casting director may give you suggestions on how to perform the script or adjustments you can make on your second read. Always follow their instruction. Respond positively to their feedback and use it to make your performance better. Being able to take feedback from the casting director and run with it will show them that you are adaptable. It will also make it clear that you want the part and are willing to act as required to get it. At the end of the audition, you should thank the casting director, smile, and tell them you look forward to hearing from them. Leave the room on a positive note to increase your chances of getting the job. Then, wait for a callback from the casting director. You will usually get a callback within one week of the audition.
Summary:
Greet the casting director with a friendly, energetic demeanor. Enunciate your words and speak slowly. Act natural and sincere. Improvise when asked. Respond to direction from the casting director. Wait for a callback.
