INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The purpose of this is to ensure you are making the best choice possible to avoid negative consequences.   Think about how you got in to your current position. A possible decision on what to do next could arise from how you got yourself there. Ask yourself how a crisis could be avoided. Would doing the right thing be so hard a process if only you did things a bit differently before? Whom else is this affecting? If it is multiple individuals, how will you rising up as the one doing the right thing affect your relations? Compare the current predicament to past experiences where you had to figure out how to do the right thing. Look at what worked or what didn't, and apply what you learned to the present. that could happen because of you making a particular decision. Evaluate all, or potentially important outcomes, so you don't decide on an impulse.  Make sure you aren't in an environment that pressures you in to making decisions. Especially if you are trying to do the right thing in a professional setting, be conscious of the long-term effects of your actions. Weigh the pros and cons of each outcome. Ask yourself how one result could possibly work better than another. Prepare yourself for any unexpected reactions from others. It may be difficult to expect the unexpected, but getting in the mindset of that  possibility can reduce panic and further stress. Doing the right thing isn't just about you. Most of the time it involves others, and correcting a wrong holds the possibility of crossing others. On the other hand, other people may help you solve any conflicts and aid you in deciding what to do. Try asking yourself these questions to see how it may affect your decision making:  How will “doing the right thing” be for the benefit of others? How will the situations get better when I do it? How will your relationships improve? Worsen? What makes what you're doing “the right thing”?

SUMMARY: Take a step back to rationally think through the situation. Imagine possible outcomes. Consider any other individuals involved.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Freemasonry was founded by men who shared a commitment to supporting each other in friendship, fellowship and service to mankind. For thousands of years, men have found spiritual and philosophical fulfillment as members of the fraternity, which still operates on the same core values. In order to become a Freemason, it is necessary to meet these requirements:  Have a sound reputation, and be well-recommended by your peers. In most freemasonry jurisdictions, you must believe in a Supreme Being, regardless of your religion. Be over the age of 18 years. The Freemason motto is "better men make a better world." Freemasonry stresses honor, personal responsibility and personal integrity, and offers the following to its members:  Monthly or bi-monthly gatherings at Freemason lodges, which are often in churches or public buildings. In the UK most of the lodges are purpose built. Teachings on the history of Freemasonry etc. Encouragement to live for the good of all mankind, and ideas for practicing good citizenship and acting with charity and love. An invitation to participate in the ancient rites of Freemasonry, including a handshake, the rituals of initiation, and freedom to use the Masonic square and compass symbol. Books like The Lost Symbol have perpetuated the notion that Freemasonry is a secret society with designs on taking over the world. Hidden symbols are said to be scattered around Washington, DC and other cities. The truth is that Freemasons are not part of any such conspiracy, and people who attempt to join Freemasonry hoping to gain access to secrets are not approaching the fraternity with the right intentions.

SUMMARY: Understand freemasonry basics. Be interested in character building and morality. Separate the hype from the truth.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Many vets have started using imiquimod (Aldara), a human wart cream, to treat aural plaque. The cream treats the plaques in many horses when using a 5% solution, by stimulating an immune response in the affected area. This treatment is primarily used if the ear plaque is causing problems or pain for the horse. Some horses and cases of ear plaque won’t respond to imiquimod. Before using the cream, you have to remove the white crusty areas and any other build up on the ears. To remove the ear plaque, use baby oil or another agent to soften the crusty, flaky areas first. Then, carefully and as gently as possible, remove the crusts. Never scrape the flakes off the horse's ear without softening it first. You don't want to cause the horse any additional pain. Scraping the plaque off the ears without taking care to reduce pain can cause head shyness and resistance. Talk to your vet about the recommended treatment schedule for your horse. Generally, the cream is applied every other day for a few months. Some horses may only need to be treated every other week, however. Be sure to follow your vet’s directions in applying the cream.  If your horse is in a lot of pain, your vet may recommend applying the cream twice weekly instead. The wart cream can lead to reactions in some horses. The most common reaction is severe inflammation. The affected areas may become red, start swelling, or ooze.  Some horses may have to be sedated. If the side effects are too much for your horse, your vet may prescribe Phenylbutazone. This is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) that helps with pain and inflammation.   Don’t stop treatment because of side effects – consult with your vet, instead. By stopping early, you may end up losing valuable progress in healing.

SUMMARY:
Consider using a wart cream. Prepare the ear before using the cream. Apply the cream three times each week or as directed. Be aware of the side effects of the cream.
