Problem: Article: It's possible that your skin's sensitivity is caused by an allergy or similar concern, which can be treated or managed with lifestyle changes.  If the skin on your face or lips is chronically itchy, dry (especially in patches), or red and inflamed, it's possible that environmental allergens (pets, dust, ragweed, etc.) might be to blame. Typically, an allergic reaction won't be localized to your face, so itchy skin on your hands, arms, knees, or other areas might be an indication of an allergy. Some food allergies, like a gluten or milk allergies, can cause reactions in the skin. Even nut allergies can manifest as hives, itchy skin, or redness around the mouth. An allergist (a doctor specializing in allergies) can help you determine if your sensitive skin is caused by environmental or food allergies by giving you skin-prick or patch test. It's possible that your skin's sensitivity is caused by an allergy or sensitivity to the products that you use on your face or around your home, which can be managed by switching products.  If you have itchy, red, uncomfortable, or inflamed skin on your face or lips, it's possible that you have an allergy or sensitivity to a product that you use. Consider whether your face wash, scrub, toner, sunscreen, moisturizer, cosmetics, lip balm, or any other product that comes into contact with your face might be causing a reaction. You can try eliminating products individually for about a week each, in order to see if you have any improvement of your symptoms. You might also have an allergy or sensitivity to products that you use, such as your laundry detergent, or a perfume or hand lotion that might come in contact with your face. There is also the possibility that a partner's products (cosmetics or after shave, for instance) might be causing a reaction on your skin. It has been observed that children with sensitive skin or atopic dermatitis may be prone to food allergies. You may want to have a skin prick test to see if food allergies are causing your dermatitis or sensitive skin. Most people who say they have sensitive skin never see a dermatologist. If that describes you, it is possible that you are living with a skin condition that is treatable.  Some issues that seem like mere skin sensitivity are actually eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, or other skin issues. Each of these skin conditions has its own root cause and treatment plan.  If you've never been to a dermatologist, it's a good idea to visit one to rule out other skin conditions. If you do find out you have a skin condition, the dermatologist can prescribe creams or oral medications to treat it. Eczema or atopic dermatitis can be treated a number of way including creams to affect the immune system, antibiotics to prevent infection, antihistamine to stop itching, and stress modifications.
Summary: Determine if your skin's sensitivity has environmental causes. Determine if you are allergic to your products. Determine if you have other dermatological issues.

Problem: Article: Some shells might shoot into the air with a zig-zag, while others will shoot additional stars after a delay. Carefully read the label on each shell so you’ll know exactly how it should behave. No matter how excited you are about the show, safety should be your first concern. Wind can cause sparks from fireworks to behave erratically, potentially causing fires to nearby structures or injury to your audience. If the forecast calls for winds higher than 11-16 knots, or 12–18 miles per hour (19–29 km/h), you may want to take larger shells out of the show or reschedule it altogether. You don't have to cancel your show because of light rain as long as you protected your fuses with plastic bags, but you might want to delay the show for the comfort of the crowd. Anyone who will be near the launch area should wear protective gear to protect their eyes and ears. You might also want to wear fire-retardant clothing.  Have a few friends plan to stay close during the show in case you need help dousing out flames. If you do catch on fire, drop to the ground and roll to smother the flames. Stray sparks might ignite any extra charges or fuses you have on hand. Keep them at least 10 feet (3.0 m) from your mortar trough. Never keep charges or fuses in your pocket, as they could ignite and cause you serious injury. Instead, wait for about 30 minutes, then douse them in water.
Summary: Read the instructions on each shell so you know what it will do. Pay attention to the weather the day of the launch. Wear safety glasses and ear plugs during the launch. Keep spare charges or extra fuse 10 feet (3.0 m) away from the launch area. Do not attempt to relight fireworks that don't go off.

Problem: Article: Psychics believe that all people are surrounded by electromagnetic fields that they use to pass energy on at a psychic level. You can use these energies better if you understand what they are.  Auras and chakras are two aspects of your personal energy field. If you understand what they are, you can better control the flow of energy into and out of your body. It can take many years to hone your telepathic abilities. You should try to practice these skills on a daily basis, if possible. Auras are energy fields that surround the body; chakras are the places that energy flows into and out of the body. You can try to perceive other people’s personal energy fields, and, thus, increase your ability to read the thoughts of other people. Have people draw pictures on cards, and then try to figure out what the person drew without being shown cards. Within the body are seven major chakras. These are openings in which energy flows in and out of the body.  The top two chakras are mental centers, the four on the front deal with emotions and the four on the back of the body focus on will.  The root chakra relates to physical.  If a chakra is blocked, energy doesn’t flow. This can cause illness and suppression of emotion. If chakras are too open, this can lead to overreaction and emotional problems.  Imagine that you are opening and closing the third eye, which is the chakra just above and between your actual eyes. Shut your actual eyes, and imagine the third eye opening more. Auras are the energy field emitted by all human beings. They vary in color and intensity. If you learn how to sense a person’s aura, you can better perceive their thoughts.  Energy is everywhere, including radiating from the body.  Stand about 10 feet away from another person. Have them stand against a plain white or black background. Look at their nose with relaxed gaze, and use your peripheral vision. The aura will look like a slight fog first. Keep your gaze at the fog. Once you see it, hold the gaze and you should be able to see it. When you blink the aura will probably disappear. In order to become sensitive to other people’s feelings and experiences, you need to operate at a higher level energy frequency with your own energy.  Negativity and unhappiness are energy that will cloud your psychic abilities. Think positively as much as you can.   Start by grounding yourself. This will help you learn how to control your energy. Stand with your feet apart, and your arms hanging loosely. Bend your knees slightly, and sink your feet into the ground. Mentally move your energy to your feet. Visualize roots extending deep into the ground out of your feet. You will want to get out of the clutter of modern life with all of its distractions to perceive energy better.  Keeping away from the rowdiness and activities of noisy distractions can help the mind think more clearly, in terms of developing inner mental accuracy and focus. Drink in the beauty of natural sounds, like the chirping of birds, the babbling of water from a brook, waterfall, etc. These natural echos are known to enhance intuition and psychic abilities. Remove the distractions of electronic devices - cell phones, television, and even electric lighting can be a barrier to psychic abilities.
Summary:
Learn more about your personal energy field. Study the major chakras and work on unblocking them. Figure out how to see a person’s aura. Get rid of your negative energy. Be still and quiet in order to perceive natural energy.
