Problem: Article: Light a coal or gas grill to medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator and rinse them in cool water. Shake the excess water from the shrimp. Pierce the skewers through both the tail and the thickest part of the shrimp toward the head.  Metal or wooden skewers are both fine to use. If you use wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes before threading the shrimp onto them. This will prevent the skewers from burning. Consider threading the skewers with onion slices, green and red pepper slices, and other vegetables with the shrimp. Lightly cover the shrimp with olive oil on both sides. Season it with salt and pepper to taste. Cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side depending on how large the shrimp are. The shrimp are done when they're bright pink and the flesh is opaque. Take the shrimp off the skewers and serve hot.
Summary: Prepare the grill. Prepare the shrimp. Thread the shrimp onto skewers. Brush the shrimp with oil. Lay the shrimp skewers on the grill. Remove the shrimp from heat. Finished.

Problem: Article: Know what you and your family are going to do before the earthquake happens. Form your plan together and go over it on a regular basis. The most important first step is understanding what to do the moment an earthquake hits. This plan needs to:   Identify the best places for cover in your building. Under sturdy desks and tables and inside strong interior door frames are good places. If there is no other cover, lay on the floor next to an interior wall and protect your head and neck. Stay away from large furniture, mirrors, external walls and windows, kitchen cabinets, and anything heavy that isn't bolted down.  Teach everyone how to signal for help if trapped. Rescuers searching collapsed buildings will be listening for sounds, so try knocking three times repeatedly or blow an emergency whistle if you have access to one.   Practice until it is second nature. Practice this plan often—you only have a few seconds to make adjustments in a real earthquake. In a real earthquake, this is your number one defense. Drop to the floor, take cover under a sturdy desk or table and hold on firmly. Be prepared for shaking and falling objects. You should practice this in every room of the house, knowing your protected areas no matter where you are when an earthquake hits. If you are outside, move into the open, away from anything that could fall or collapse like telegraph poles and buildings. Drop and cover your head from falling objects. Stay there until the shaking stops. There are resources in your community to educate you and your family on how to deal with first aid emergencies. Your local Red Cross has monthly classes as well that will teach you the basic skills to deal with most common injuries and situations. If you cannot attend a class, purchase basic first aid books and put them with each stash of emergency supplies in the house. Having a first aid kit is highly recommended. It should be away from buildings. Go over what your family should do in the event that not everyone makes it to the rallying point. If you have civil defense safety meeting points (as designated by your town), be sure that every member of the family knows the location of the one closest to home, school, and work. Identify an out-of-area contact person, like an out-of-state aunt or uncle, that your family can call and get in touch with one another. If you can't call each other for some reason, make sure you call them to help coordinate a meet-up. Use FRS and GMRS service (GMRS requires a license by FCC in US) to contact each other. Phone lines get congested in disaster. Some FRS and GMRS radio can send radio waves up to 40 miles! A broken gas line leaks flammable gas into the environment which can lead to a very dangerous explosion if untended. You should learn how to operate your utilities now so that, in the event you smell leaking gas, you can quickly stop the problem. This should include everyone in your home, office, etc. You need to know who must be accounted for and how to get in touch with them if they can't be found. In addition to normal contact information, ask each person to provide and emergency contact as well. You should also include:  Names and numbers of neighbors. Name and number of the landlord. Important medical information. Emergency numbers for fire, medical, police, and insurance. There is no way to know what time of day an earthquake might strike, you may be at work, at school, on a bus, or in a train when one strikes. It is highly likely that you will need to know several ways to get home since roads and bridges will likely be obstructed for long periods of time. Note any potentially dangerous structures, like bridges, and figure out a route around them if need be.
Summary: Create a Disaster Preparedness Plan for your house or place of work. Practice "drop, cover and hold on" until it becomes second nature. Learn basic first aid and CPR or make sure there is at least one person in the house knows it. Decide on a rallying point for your family for after the earthquake. Learn how to turn off the utilities in your house, especially the gas line. Write down and share emergency contact lists. Try to develop routes and methods for getting home after an earthquake has occurred.

Problem: Article: Deep, measured breathing can calm your mind and your body considerably. If you're sitting somewhere with privacy, place your hand on your abdomen and breathe in deeply for five seconds. Breathe deeply enough for your hand to rise visibly. After a pause, slowly exhale until you don't have any breath left.  Focus on breathing in through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. If you're in the presence of others, simply mentally count to five while breathing in, and count to five again while exhaling. Try to think only about your breath, pushing other thoughts away without assessing them. at your workstation. If you're unable to leave your work area, stand and stretch for a moment. You can also roll your head, shoulder, and ankles while sitting.  Muscle tension exercises can help you calm down too.  Focus on one particular muscle or muscle group at a time. For instance, start by scrunching all of your face muscles as tightly as you can for twenty seconds and slowly releasing them. Then move down to your neck, and so on, all the way down to your toes. Getting your heart rate up for short periods of time can help you better cope with stress. While it won't make your stress disappear, exercise can help you manage and control your emotions.

Being active can help clear your thoughts, which will allow you to better reflect on the issues you're having at work. You can incorporate the activity into your lunch break. If possible, sneak off to the stairwell for one or two sets of jumping jacks. The endorphins that your body releases when exercising can have a potently relaxing effect on your mood. Even better, step outside for a brief, brisk walk.  A short walk outside offers the opportunity to breathe, move, and stimulate many of your senses all at once.
