Problem: Article: People often say "use it or lose it" about muscles, but the same can be applied towards the senses. The more you use your senses, the better you get! Learn how to describe smells. You might even want to keep an olfactory journal! For extra practice, have someone hold various things to your nose while you're blindfolded and see if you can identify the smells.  Next time you are drinking a cup of coffee take time to really breathe in the smell before you drink it. When you are about to bite into some strong cheese, be sure to smell it before eating it. If you regularly smell things before consuming them, you can help improve your sense of smell over time. As well as being more attentive to the smells you encounter in everyday life, you can go further and adopt a training regime for your sense of smell. Begin by simply choosing four smells that you are fond of, such as fresh coffee, banana, soap or shampoo, and blue cheese. Then each day take a minute to go through and smell each one individually to stimulate the receptors inside your nose. Try to repeat this four to six times every day.  There is evidence that visualizing smells can help to improve your sense of smell. Take a minute to imagine your favourite smells.  When you are trying to identify a particular smell you may find it useful to smell with a shallow sniff rather than a long deep inhalation. Studies suggest that our sense of smell is sharper after exercise. The causative link is uncertain, but it has been reported that the sense of smell appears to be better after exercise. Exercising enough to work up a sweat at least once a week has been connected to a lower risk of the sense of smell diminishing as you get older. This could be because exercise improves brain functions or because it contributes to better general health. If your sense of smell is impaired by obstructive disorders such as congestion or hay fever, allergies, sinus infection, or nasal polyps, it will be necessary to treat the underlying issue in order to improve your sense of smell. Talk to your doctor about nasal steroids, which may help clear your nostrils and help you breathe and smell better. Hyposmia (the medical term for an impaired sense of smell) is sometimes linked with a deficiency in the mineral zinc, and a deficiency of vitamin B12 in vegetarians. To boost your sense of smell, try eating zinc-rich foods, such as oysters, lentils, sunflower seeds, pecans and consider taking a multivitamin supplement that contains at least 7 mg of zinc each day. The nerves that sense smell are directly connected to the emotional part of your brain, leaving your rationality out of the equation. Studies found, for example, that the smell of fast food wrappers, fresh bread or pastry increase the likelihood of road rage; peppermint and cinnamon improve concentration and decrease irritability in drivers; and lemon and coffee promote clear thinking and high concentration levels in general.
Summary: Pay more attention to what you already smell. Train your nose. Get plenty of exercise. Talk to your doctor about nasal sprays. Get more zinc and vitamin B12 in your diet. Note how certain smells make you feel.

Problem: Article: It is important to take steps to prevent an infection, especially if there is any broken skin around the area of the dislocation.  Wait until professional medical personnel arrive before attempting to wash or in any way "clean" the wound (if there is a wound, or if there are any areas of broken skin). Attempting to do so without the proper sterilizing equipment or medical training actually increases the chance of infection rather than decreasing it. For now, covering the area is enough to decrease the chance of it becoming infected. Try to use nonstick gauze such as Telfa if there is an open wound. Note that it is very important not to try and re-position or re-align the joint in any way. This can cause further harm, and it is best to simply immobilize it in the position it is in and to wait for a trained medical professional to definitively treat the dislocation.  Be sure to immobilize both above and below the dislocated joint to ensure maximum stability while awaiting medical treatment.  If it is the shoulder that is dislocated, you can use a sling (or make a sling by tying a long piece of fabric into a circle) to immobilize it. Make sure the sling holds the limb against the body. Instead of just wrapping the sling around the neck, try wrapping it around the torso before tying it at the neck. If it is another joint such as a knee or elbow, a splint is your best bet. Splints can be constructed of sticks or another stabilizing device and tape or fabric strips to hold the splint in place. This is to ensure it does not lose sensation, or exhibit a change in temperature or reduction in pulse. These signs could indicate an obstruction of blood flow or damage to the nerves leading down to the limb. If any of these changes occur, seek medical assistance for treating the dislocation immediately. Check the pulse in the area of the limb farthest from the center of the body — in the wrist if the arm or shoulder is dislocated, on the top of the foot or behind the ankle bone if the injury is to a leg. Doctors usually prefer to work with a patient who has an empty stomach, particularly if surgery becomes necessary. If the patient exhibits any of the following signs or symptoms, call 911 immediately as it may be a medical emergency:  Severe bleeding Other traumatic injuries A possible head, neck, or spine injury (do not move the person if you suspect a possible neck or spine injury as moving them can cause severe damage) Loss of sensation in the affected joint or the extremities (fingers, toes, etc.) Always seek medical help promptly, even if it does not fall into one of the above categories. Although these are more urgent and worrisome symptoms, all dislocations require prompt medical evaluation and treatment. If possible, drive the person to your local emergency room; if you are unable to do so, call 911 for assistance.
Summary: Cover the dislocated joint with something sterile. Immobilize the joint. Monitor the limb. Avoid offering food to the patient while treating dislocations. Know when to seek immediate medical help.

Problem: Article: The other is the person jumping over the barrel.  If one of the players is a lot younger, that person should start by being the barrel, as it's easier. The barrel must try to knock the other person down.
Summary:
Make one person the barrel. Have the barrel roll around the trampoline. The jumper must try to avoid the barrel by jumping. Change roles now and then.
