Problem: Article: Emotional distress is categorized according to the intent of the person or company responsible for inflicting harm. There are two types of emotional distress. These include negligent infliction of emotional distress and intentional infliction of emotional distress.  Negligent infliction: The responsible party exhibited negligent behavior that caused distress. Intentional infliction: The responsible party demonstrated outrageous behavior that caused distress. Negligent infliction of emotional distress happens when the one party's negligent behavior causes distress. The emotional distress must be the result of physical injury caused by the person you are suing. For instance, you might be able to sue for emotional distress if you saw an accident that killed a loved one. You must have suffered emotional issues afterwards. Intentional infliction of emotional distress happens when one party's outrageous behavior causes distress. In this case, you must prove that the other party intentionally or recklessly demonstrated outrageous and extreme conduct. Physical injury must also be a factor. For example, your neighbor started a fire on purpose in your garage with the intent to kill you. If you started having panic attacks that led to fainting, you might have a case. In this type of situation, the physical injury is a direct result of emotional distress. But if an employer screams and makes threats at an employee, this might not count as outrageous conduct. Even if it's rude and insensitive, it might not count as emotional distress.
Summary: Familiarize yourself with the types of emotional distress claims. Determine if emotional distress was negligently inflicted. Determine if emotional distress was intentionally inflicted.

Problem: Article: If the plant is infected, it is best to throw it out and purchase another for keeping over. Mealy bugs are the main concern and can be removed by dabbing them with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. However, this should be done before the infection spreads or gets too large or you may never kill them all. The plant should be allowed to go dry to the touch between watering and be watered only sparingly (over-watering is the leading cause of plant death in the winter months inside, the plant is not actively growing and is not taking up the normal food it would during the growing season, and if watered to much the plant will end up sitting in water and problems like moss, mold, rot and leaf yellow may accrue). When the temperatures at night get above 10 C, the plant can then be moved outside. If a small bushy plant is your goal, the entire plant should be trimmed down to about "inches above the main trunk. If you want a larger plant, simply pinch the tops of each main branch and continue this until about July. If a topiary is your goal, then remove all of the branches except for the tallest, straightest main branch and do not pinch the plant on the top, just remove the side shoots for the remainder of the season. Doing this will cause what leaves are left to scorch and fall off and may kill the weakened plant. Place the plant in full shade then move the plant out of the shade in two weeks to part shade then two weeks later to full or part sun for the remainder of the season. This will allow the plant to harden off and get used to the new conditions outside. Fertilize every fifth watering or every two weeks (whichever comes last) with a poinsettia fertilizer or house plant fertilizer. Or, if you would like, try a diluted evergreen fertilizer to help promote leaf growth (at this stage all you want is leaf growth, no flowers). This process can take up to 2 months and sometimes longer, depending on conditions and the variety of plant you have.  Switch from a nitrogen based fertilizer to an even houseplant fertilizer or one made for poinsettias, and reduce fertilizing by half. Begin the routine of long nights/short days needed to initiate buds: 13 hours of uninterrupted darkness, 11 hours of bright sunshine each day. Keep temperatures in the low 60's at night. Turn pot regularly for even light. (Note: Darkness must be total - light from a street lamp or even that cast by headlights from passing cars is enough to disrupt bud formation.) Discontinue darkness routine after about 2 months and place plant in the sunniest window in the house. Reduce fertilizer: don't over water!
Summary: Inspect the plant for bugs (most plants won't show bugs in the greenhouse but they will show up after about two weeks in the home). If you want to keep over that particular plant, several applications of soapy water to the plant and potting soil should rid it of most infestations. Place the plant in a cool (not cold) room with curtain filtered sunlight and cut back on the watering. Decide what kind of plant you want to end up with for Christmas. Do not set the plant in full sun at first. Start watering regularly. When it is time to bring the plant in for fall, start the processes of turning the top leaves red (or pink or whatever color they were last winter).

Problem: Article: Place one half of your acorn squash seed-side down on the cutting board. Cut the squash into 1/2 to 3/4 inch slices by carefully cutting across the ridges.  You don't need to peel acorn squash before cutting or preparing it. Slicing the acorn squash thinly ensures that it will cook faster than if you simply roast half of the squash or bake large wedges of squash. To make large wedges, lay one half of your squash seed-side down on the cutting board. Carefully cut lengthwise along each ridge of the acorn squash to make wedges. Cutting the squash into wedges keeps more of its rustic shape and gives you larger pieces to serve. If you'd like to peel your acorn squash, cut them into wedges first. This will make it easier to hold the squash while peeling. If you need cubed or chunked acorn squash for a recipe, start by cutting the squash into wedges. Once you've sliced the wedges, you can peel each individual wedge. Lay the wedge so that one side lays flat on a cutting board. Take a knife and cut each wedge into cubes or chunks. You can cut the cubes or chunks to any size you would like. Keep in mind that if you're roasting the squash with other root vegetables, you should keep them all the same size. When cutting your acorn squash in half, ensure that you cut it crosswise. Once you've scooped out the seeds from both halves, take a sharp knife and cut the squash in half crosswise again. This will make one ring. Continue cutting rings until you reach the end on each half of the squash. You can cut the rings as thick as you like. Many recipes call for the rings to be sliced between 1/2 and inch and 1 inch.
Summary: Slice the acorn squash. Cut the squash into wedges. Cut the squash into cubes. Cut the squash into rings.

Problem: Article: For example, you can add photos of your dog or cat, a friend or family member, etc. Or, stick on craft foam cut-outs, ribbon, glitter, etc. Although optional, this can be a nice touch. Use the foam bookmark as often as you like. Make more to give away as gifts.
Summary:
Decorate it as you like. Add a tassel. Finished.
