After the 2 weeks are up, lift up the newspaper. Look for tiny, white heads coming out of the peat moss. If they're there, leave the newspaper off. You may see white streaks in the soil, which means the mushrooms are taking root. Leave the newspaper in place and continue misting for another week. Mist the peat moss every day so water continues to drip into the bed. After about 10 days, the mushrooms will be fully-grown, although you can harvest the mushrooms sooner if you wish. Portobellos reach their peak when the mushroom caps are about 4 to 6cm (1.6 to 2.4in) in diameter. Dig them out of the compost by hand, then clean them off with a damp paper towel and store them in a brown paper bag in the refrigerator. Harvesting the mushrooms early means you'll be eating brown criminis instead of portobellos. Wait until the edges of the caps are flat instead of curled. Keep your tray with compost intact for now. Continue moistening the compost daily, then add a new layer of newspaper once white streaks form again. By following the same steps, you will usually get 2 or 3 batches of mushrooms out of 1 tray.

Summary: Remove the newspaper in 2 weeks if the mushrooms are growing. Continue misting the mushrooms as they grow. Dig out the portobellos when the caps have fully unfurled. Repeat moistening the compost until new mushrooms form.

Schizophrenia is a severe brain disorder that can be kept under control with medication and therapy. Schizophrenia changes the way a person thinks, feels, and generally perceives the world. For this reason, it is very common for people with the condition to have hallucinations and delusions. To have hallucinations means to see or hear things that others cannot. To have delusions means to accept false beliefs as true. An example of a hallucination would be hearing voices that other people cannot hear. An example of a delusion would be a person with schizophrenia thinking that someone else was reading his or her mind. Although loss of contact with reality (psychosis) is a typical sign of schizophrenia, it is not the only one. People with schizophrenia may also exhibit loss of interest and drive, speech problems, depression, memory difficulties, and mood swings. Exacerbation of symptoms usually occurs when people stop treatment. It can also be the result of substance abuse, other diseases, psychosocial stress, and adverse effects of the drug being used for treatment. Although schizophrenia cannot be cured, symptoms usually improve with proper treatment. As many as 50% of patients receiving medical treatment experience significant recovery. It is also important to remember that treatment of schizophrenia requires more than just drugs. When treatment is combined with psychological and psychosocial therapies, patients can recover more quickly. The reality is that while 20 to 25% of people struggling with schizophrenia will experience remission, and about 50% will continue to have persistent or intermittent symptoms. Many people think that with love and support they will be able to cure their loved ones. While love and support do play a large factor, it is also important to check your expectations and make sure that they reflect the reality of the disease.

Summary: Learn the basics of what schizophrenia is. Understand the concept of hallucinations and delusions. Know some of the other side effects of schizophrenia. Understand what can exacerbate the problems associated with schizophrenia. Learn about how schizophrenia is treated. Keep your expectations realistic.

Fumes may emit from the rice cooker as the solvent is dissolved. Because isopropyl alcohol is highly combustible, avoid any and all flames, stovetops, sparks, and cigarettes while you're heating the solvent. Isopropyl alcohol is flammable and cannot be cooked near an open flame or spark. Pour the alcohol into your rice cooker until it is about three-quarters of the way full. Close and turn on your rice cooker to 210230F (99110C). Although you can heat your isopropyl alcohol in a crock pot, it is not recommended. If your mixture heats to over 300F (149C), the cannabis will burn and become unusable. Save the rest of your isopropyl alcohol for later. As the alcohol evaporates, you will slowly add more until you have poured in the entire solvent. Wait until the isopropyl alcohol is about halfway evaporated. Continually fill the rice cooker with isopropyl alcohol to three-quarters full. Add a few drops of water (about 10 for every 1 pound (16oz) added) as the solvent evaporates to keep the oil from overheating. When you have added all of the solvent into the rice cooker and it has evaporated entirely, the oil will be the only liquid left in the rice cooker. It will be the consistency of thick grease and have a dark color when the isopropyl alcohol has dissolved. Dip the syringe into the oil, then slowly pull on the plunger until the syringe is filled with the oil. Remove the syringe from the rice cooker, then cover the top with its plastic tip to prevent spilling. Do not transfer the isopropyl alcohol into another container. You may need multiple syringes to siphon out all of the oil. Store Rick Simpson oil in the syringes until you are ready to use it.

Summary: Set up a rice cooker in a well-ventilated area. Transfer your isopropyl alcohol to the rice cooker. Check on the solvent periodically and add more alcohol as it evaporates. Wait until the oil develops a dark color and greasy consistency. Siphon the oil out with a plastic catheter tip syringe.

Review your list of activities to determine which steps are unnecessary. Delete all unnecessary activities from your list if they are not specific to this particular objective. It is important to streamline the process and avoid having so many steps that it is overwhelming or confusing to the employees. If the omitted activity is important to your overall business, consider which goal best benefits from this activity and save it to be part of a separate business process. It is helpful to create a flow chart of the entire process, listing each activity in order and linking it to the next part of the process. Start with the premiere event leading to your goal. Draw a circle around this activity. Draw a line to a box and fill that box with the first activity required to work from this premiere event to your goal. When you reach a moment which requires a decision, draw a diamond around the question which must be posed. Two lines should proceed from this diamond leading to the activity driven by this decision. Link each activity sequentially. Some may run simultaneously through different departments within your business. Culminate in the activity which reaches your goal, and draw a circle around this conclusion. Look at your completed flow chart with a critical eye to see if there are still any remaining activities which could be cut from the process to increase efficiency, quality, or decrease cost. Can the order be rearranged or can the individual processes be improved to accomplish your objective in a better way? Consider whether any part of your process can be automated. Step back and get an outside eye by sharing the process with your management team. Look at your process from the point of view of the customer and consider ways you could improve their experience and overall satisfaction. This will provide transparent accountability for each step within the process. Share the flowchart with your employees to clearly communicate the expectations for achieving your objective. Give management ownership by involving them in the process of creating the business process. Allow time and support for management to achieve the objectives assigned to them.
Summary: Maximize the efficiency of the business process. Determine the order of the necessary activities. Optimize your business process. Assign management to supervise each step of the process.
