This will help reduce the feeling of a sick stomach in many cases. Ask for lemons. They will settle an upset stomach. The flight attendants might have some on their beverage trolley. Suck on the lemon wedges. It’s easier to rush to the bathroom if you’re sitting next to the aisle. If you’re a queasy flyer, request one!  To reduce motion sickness, focus your eyes on a distant fixed point. Keep your mind occupied. Do a Crossword puzzle or play a game on your computer. Take a long, deep breath through your nose, and then slowly breathe out. Take advantage of times that the seatbelt sign goes off, and take a bathroom break. This might help relieve some of your stomach stress. Ask to sit near the plane’s wing, where it’s most stable or back by the bathroom so you're close. Be aware that the back of a plane is the bumpiest, usually. You're more likely to get sick to your stomach in the back. Don’t stay crouched in the same position. Give your body some relief by moving as much as you can!  You will want to stretch somehow, either by walking to the bathroom or while sitting in your seat. Massaging the abdomen can also lower pain from gas. Do this gently. Try to shift position in your seat every half hour if you can’t get up. You can do this by crossing your legs, leaning forward, or putting your feet on your carry-on bag. This is the small nozzle you can turn on above you to direct air towards your face.  The gush of fresher air might make you feel somewhat better. Move your seat back and recline if you are allowed to do so. Look at the sky out the window, if you have a window seat, with your head slightly tilted back. Focus on the horizon. If your upset stomach is caused by anxiety, try to calm down by listening to calming music or by sleeping. Try to stay warm by requesting a blanket to at least cover your legs. Reading can increase motion sickness. They are there for a reason! Even if you’re not sure you’re going to throw up, it’s a good idea to have one ready.  You can usually find air sickness bags in the back of the chair in front of you. You might want to hold two of them near you. If you can’t find one, ask the flight attendant. Letting the flight attendant know you’re feeling sick can also be a good idea in general. They may let you move to a seat closer to the toilet.  Don’t feel embarrassed. Studies have shown that people have more flatulence and also bloating while flying, and that doesn’t account for the fact that some people just get nervous in the air, making it worse.

Article: The bias binding will need to cover the raw edge of your fabric, but placing it too close to the raw edge may result in a weak seam. To ensure a strong seam, you will need to place the edge of the binding slightly in from the edge of your fabric. Mark the fabric about 6 millimetres (0.24 in) from the raw (cut) edge to indicate where you will place the edge of the binding. Unfold one edge of the bias binding, and line up the raw edges of the bias binding with the chalk line you have marked onto the fabric.  The right (front) side of the bias binding and the right (front) side of your fabric should be facing each other. Insert pins through the bias binding and fabric to hold them together.  Make sure to fold under the ends of the bias binding so that the raw edges will not be visible. You can also use clips to hold the bias binding in place. These will prevent you from making holes in the bias binding or fabric, which may be a concern especially if the fabric or binding are made from a delicate material. The bias binding should have folded edges that run the length of the binding. When you open the folds up, you will see that the binding has a crease. Use your sewing machine to sew a straight stitch into this crease to secure your bias binding and fabric together. After you have sewed the bias binding to the fabric, fold over the bias binding so that it covers the seam allowance of your fabric. The, use an iron to press this seam and make the bias binding lay flat over the seam allowance. Use your iron on a low setting or one that is appropriate for your fabric. If you are worried about damaging the fabric, then place a t-shirt or cotton cloth over the fabric before you iron it. Next, fold the bias binding over the edge of your fabric again. Fold the bias binding at the seam you created so that the bias binding will be completely hidden on the opposite side of your fabric. After you have folded the bias binding, use your iron to press the seam. This will help to keep the bias binding on one side of the fabric and create a nice neat edge for your work. To secure the bias binding, sew a straight stitch about 3 millimetres (0.12 in) from the edge of the bias binding. Use your sewing machine to do this. Make sure that the bias binding edge is folded under so that it will be hidden. After you finish sewing, trim off the excess threads.

Article: This scale is a great way to throw some melodic variation into your lines, and fits neatly over funk, blues, rock, and pop chord progressions. It has a slightly moody, bluesy feel. As always, find the one and three and make them shine, often using the root note. The following is the A-minor pentatonic scale. The note in parenthesis is a grace note, used for a bluesy feel, that can be left out if you want:G|----------5-7-(8)-|D|-----------5---7-|A|-----5-(6)-7-------|E|-5-8-------------| The major pentatonic offers the variation loved in pentatonic, but it has a happier feel. It's not quite as bright as the major scale, but it's still a  good mood kind of scale and is used accordingly. The following is for the A-major pentatonic scale:G|-----------4---6-|D|-----------4---7-|A|-----4---7-|E|-5-7-------------| Start the scale on the root note and play from there, using the scale to help your find notes for your licks. The following scale is for A Major, since it starts on the fifth fret (an A):G|-----------------|D|-----------4-6-7-|A|-----4-5-7-------|E|-5-7-------------| Not used a tone in funk, but still easily modified for funk, this note will give you a bit of a darker, more intense feel for songs that call for it. When played straight, it may sound a little too sad, but that focus on rhythm will give it the pulsing feel that makes it funk. This is for A minor:G|-----------------|D|-------------5-7-|A|-------5-7-----|E|-5-7-8-----------|
