If you are considering therapy with a licensed professional to help cope with your anger management problems, it is likely that you have tried some other avenues in dealing with your anger. You need to know when individual coping mechanisms or group sessions are not effective and seek help from a respected therapist. Therapists, like others in the medical professionals, focus on various areas of specialization. While a general therapist who will allow you to talk out your problems can be helpful, it is important to identify therapists who have experience in treating anger management problems. Also, it is critical to vet the credentials and client satisfaction of the therapists in your area to ensure that the therapist you select is the right one for you. Therapy with a licensed professional is often an ongoing process that can last for years or even a lifetime. Make sure you have accounted for the money and the time needed to dedicate to therapy. Like many issues that require a therapist, your problem may never disappear, but you can manage it. Also, be aware that local, state and national resources exist for offsetting the cost of therapy for those who need it, but can not afford it. Check with your state department of health and human services to see what resources exist for offsetting the costs of therapy. When you seek out a licensed therapist, be prepared to deal with some unpleasant episodes in your life and be open to the therapist's explanation of your problem. You may find that you learned inappropriate anger-coping mechanisms when you were a child or that you suffer from underlying mental disorder that causes your expressions of anger. It is critical when meeting with a therapist that you are open and accepting of the explanations they may provide to you. You wouldn't want to waste your time and money seeing a therapist for help only because you were unwilling to engage or tell him/her the full truth. After meeting with a therapist for some time, he or she may decide you need to adhere to certain practices or methods to control your anger. You must follow through with a therapist's suggestions to ensure the therapy is as beneficial as possible. Furthermore, you may find that you need certain medications if the source of your anger is an underlying mental disorder. If this is case, take any and all medications as they are prescribed and do not deviate from the dosing schedules.  Again, be aware that these conditions are relatively rare among the general population. One of the biggest problems facing individuals with mental disorders is that they begin to feel “better” or “okay” after taking their prescribed medication. This, in turn, leads them to believe that they no longer need the prescribed medication and they stop taking it. In these circumstances, the symptoms of the mental disorder can become drastically worse without the afflicted individual realizing it. Of course, you are always free to seek out a second opinion or stop taking medication that you do not feel is effective or right for you. It is your choice, but be aware of the potential consequences.

If your veterinarian diagnoses your dog with roundworms, he or she will prescribe a medication to kill the roundworms. There are many available deworming agents (e.g., fenbendazole, piperazine, ivermectin), so your veterinarian will choose the medication and dosage that will work best for your dog. If you have a very young puppy, he will need to be treated every two weeks until he is two months old, and then monthly until he is six months old.  Although unpleasant, you may see dead or dying roundworms in your puppy’s feces. If you have the puppy’s mom at home, she will need to be treated at the same time as the puppy. This will kill any larvae that may migrate to her milk and cause the puppy to be re-infected. Follow the prescribing instructions carefully to ensure effective treatment. After your dog finishes the treatment, your veterinarian will probably want to test his feces several more times to confirm successful treatment. Your veterinarian will determine when those follow up appointments should take place. During the complicated life cycle of roundworms, the eggs will develop into larvae that essentially entomb themselves into different body tissues. After a while, they emerge, migrate through the body, and develop into adult roundworms. The deworming agent will kill the adult roundworms. However, since the larvae will be emerging and developing at different times, the medication needs to be given every few weeks to kill all of the adult roundworms.

One of the most important skills that a shoe designer has is the ability to envision something and translate that onto paper. The goal here is not to replicate what you can already see. Rather, you should imagine a shoe and sketch that out. Sketching doesn’t have to be done on physical paper. You might use design software to create your shoe designs. Shoe design is not all done with pencil and paper sketches. You will need to know design software, such as the Adobe Creative Suite. This includes PhotoShop, Illustrator, InDesign and other programs. Be able to recreate your pencil sketches on the computer. Also learn how to use computer-aided design (CAD) programs. These will enable you to create 3D digital designs. When you learn the different parts that go into creating a shoe from a design sketch, you will understand more about the entire shoe-making process. Make patterns for different types of shoes. Assemble your best shoe designs that demonstrate your skill and versatility as a designer. Aim for about 20 designs for a physical portfolio and 30 for an online portfolio. Keep the content fresh by updating your portfolio once in a while with new work. Include a designer’s statement, in which you talk about your influences and inspirations. Also include an up-to-date resume.

Proper hydration can help mucus stay loose and not get caught in your throat as easily.  Aim for about 8 glasses of water a day, although if you're sick with a cold you may need to drink slightly more than this as you'll be producing more mucus.  Water keeps your throat lubricated, which reduces phlegm production. Drink water with meals instead of other beverages and have a bottle of water nearby while you're at work or relaxing at home and sip on it periodically. Smoking not only results in a litany of other health problems, it's very bad for your throat. Not only does smoke irritate the vocal folds, tobacco use makes you more susceptible to infections resulting in more colds and flus and therefore more mucus. Ditch the cigarettes while trying to clear out your throat and look into plans for quitting long term. If you have phlegm stuck in your throat, alcohol and carbonation should be avoided.  Carbonated beverages, even carbonated waters, can irritate the throat and create unnecessary phlegm.  Alcohol not only irritates existing phlegm, it lowers the immune system which can prolong your cold or flu, meaning your throat will take longer to clear out.
