article: The most common symptom is a dull abdominal pain near the belly button that radiates or changes near the right lower belly. There are other symptoms that aren't so common. If you find yourself checking off several of them, it might be time to contact your doctor or go to the hospital. You should contact your doctor or go to the hospital as soon as you've identified these symptoms in yourself. Delaying the process will only make your appendix more likely to rupture and will endanger your life. You'll usually notice symptoms within 12 to 18 hours, but they may last up to a week becoming more severe as time goes on. Symptoms include:  decreased appetite stomach problems - like nausea, diarrhea, and constipation, especially if paired with frequent vomiting  fever - If your temperature is at or over 103°F (40°C), go to a hospital immediately. If it's at 102°F (38°C) but you're experiencing several other symptoms, go to the hospital as soon as possible. A low grade fever of around 99°F is another symptom. chills and shaking back pain inability to pass gas tenesmus - the feeling that a bowel movement will relieve discomfort  Many of these symptoms are similar to viral gastroenteritis. The difference is that the pain is general and not specific in gastroenteritis. In addition to the symptoms above, you may also experience symptoms that are less commonly associated with appendicitis. Here are some less common symptoms you can look out for:  Painful urination Vomiting before abdominal pain begins Sharp or dull pain in the rectum, back, or upper or lower abdomen In most adults, your appendix can be located on the lower right side of your abdomen usually one third of the way between your belly button and hip bone. Note that this location may be different for pregnant woman. Watch for a "path" of pain. The sharp pain might move from your navel (belly button) to the area directly over your appendix 12 to 24 hours after you start experiencing symptoms. If you've noticed a distinct progression like this, go straight to the emergency room. In adults, symptoms of appendicitis may get worse within 4-48 hours. If you're diagnosed with appendicitis, it is considered a medical emergency. If it's too painful for you to even touch, especially in the lower right portion, consider going to the emergency room. You may also feel a tenderness in your lower abdomen when you press on it. Look for rebound tenderness. If you press on your lower right abdomen and feel a sharp pain when you quickly release it, then you may have appendicitis and need medical attention. When you press on your abdomen, is your finger able to sink in a bit? Or does your abdomen feel unusually firm and hard? If you notice the latter, you might be bloated, which is another symptom of appendicitis. If you have abdominal pain, but don't have nausea or decreased appetite, it may not be appendicitis. There are many reasons for abdominal pain that don't need a visit to the emergency room. When in doubt, call or see your regular doctor for any abdominal pain that lasts more than 3 days. If you can't do this without severe pain, you might have appendicitis. While you should seek emergency care immediately, you might be able to ease the pain by lying on your side and curling into the fetal position. See if your pain gets worse if you make jarring movements or cough. In pregnant women, the pain might be located differently because the appendix is higher when the woman is pregnant. In children 2 and younger, the pain in the abdomen is usually lower accompanied by vomiting and swelling of the belly. Toddlers with appendicitis sometimes have trouble eating and may seem unusually sleepy. They may refuse to eat even their favorite snacks.  In the older child, pain mimics adults in that it starts at the belly button and moves to the lower right quadrant of the belly. Pain does not get better if the child lies down, but it may get worse if the child moves. If the appendix does burst in the child, a high fever is noted.

article: The color of the gemstone is often your first clue. This component can be further divided into three parts: hue, tone, and saturation.  Do not shine a light into the stone to examine its color unless you have a dark stone and need to determine whether it is black, dark blue, or another deep color. "Hue" refers to the stone's overall body color. Be as specific as possible. For instance, if a stone is a yellowish green, identify it as such instead of merely saying "red." The GIA separates stone hue into 31 different colors. "Tone" refers to whether a color is dark, medium, light, or somewhere in between. "Saturation" refers to the intensity of color. Determine whether the hue is warm (yellow, orange, red) or cool (purple, blue, green). With warm colors, check the stone for brown tints. For cool colors, check the stone for gray tints. The more brown or gray you see, the less saturated the stone color is. Transparency describes how light filters through the gemstone. A stone can be transparent, translucent, or opaque.  Transparent stones are completely see-through (example: diamonds). Translucent stones can be seen through, but some color or haze alters the image (example: amethyst or aquamarine). Opaque stones cannot be seen through (example: opal). You can determine heft—how heavy the gemstone is—by simply bouncing it in your hand. This is a quick and easy way to estimate a stone's weight without performing complex specific gravity tests and equations.  To judge heft, bounce the stone in the palm of your hand and ask yourself if it feels as heavy as you would expect for its size or if it feels heavier or unusually light. Specific gravity readings are fairly outdated as a practice among gemologists, and heft measurements are used as a relatively accurate estimation. For example, aquamarine has low heft while blue topaz, which is similar in appearance, has a high or heavy heft. Similarly, diamond has a lower heft than synthetic cubic zirconia. While not a foolproof method of identification, some gemstones are more likely to be cut in certain ways. Oftentimes, ideal cuts are determined by the way light bounces off the crystalline structure of the stone. The most common cut styles you will run across include faceted, cabochon, cameo, bead, and tumbled. Within each of these basic cut styles, you will usually see sub-styles, as well.

article:
Do not reply with anger just because the customer is being immature and working through their anger in an unhealthy way. For instance, if you’re on the phone with a customer, do not hang up on them as soon as they start cursing. If you react angrily, you might escalate the situation, and both you and the customer could end up even more aggravated than you already are.   Pay attention to your volume and tone of voice. Use a gentle, even tone when replying to angry customers. Remain aware of your emotions. If you don’t think you can handle a certain call, tell the person that you’ll transfer them to a manager or another third party, even if it’s just your coworker. “I’m going to transfer you to someone who can help you better than I can,” you could explain. It is easier to tune out or forgive swearing against a product, company, or service than it is to forgive someone swearing at you personally. In either case, however, stay calm and do not respond in anger. Remember, the irate customer does not know you, and you did not personally cause whatever misfortune they are experiencing. Don’t let their foul language rattle you or make you feel personally guilty, angry, or incompetent. to calm them down. Sometimes, an angry customer feels unheard or ignored, and so they act out in desperation. You can alleviate this by showing that you care about their situation and are willing to listen. Validating their feelings can calm them down by making them feel understood. Here are some examples of validating things to say:   "I can tell you're upset." "That sounds frustrating to deal with." "Yes, that definitely sounds like a problem. What do you need to fix it?" "I'm sorry to hear about that. It sounds difficult to deal with." Sometimes, when a customer is extremely frustrated, they forget their manners. Remind that customer that while you are sorry, no amount of cursing will solve the problem they're experiencing.   "I understand you're upset. Cursing at me will not help me fix your problem." "I know this is frustrating. I am on your team here, and profanity isn't going to help me help you." "I have a hard time focusing when people are yelling at me. If you want my help, please lower your volume, or come back later once you've calmed down." Give a clear, unambiguous warning that specifically mentions their cursing.   “I’m sorry, but I cannot help you if you curse at me.” "I am sorry, but you are frightening people, and we cannot help you today. Please lower your voice or leave the building." If you're dealing with a customer over the phone, hang up on them. This is a last resort that should only be utilized in extreme cases. The foul-mouthed customer is likely to call back even angrier than before. However, if you have a customer who does not relax after repeated attempts to calm them, ending the call is the best option. Sometimes ending a call can give angry people the time they need to calm down.   Always be polite as you end your call. Let your customer know you’re hanging up. A goodbye like, “I’m going to hang up now because I do not want to be cursed at. I hope your day improves,” is appropriate. Be succinct. Follow through on your warnings to your customer that you’re going to hang up. If one of your customers continues to curse and threatens you, inform them you will contact the police. Leave to do so. Explain the situation to the police and, assuming the customer has fled before the police arrive, give them as much information as possible about the customer. Allow the threatening customer to leave and do not antagonize them.   Do not shout, threaten, or scream when dealing with a customer who threatens you. This might panic them and escalate the situation. If you believe the customer is armed, do not announce, “I’m calling the police.” This will only agitate them. Flee from an armed customer at the first opportunity. If the exit is blocked, look for safe spaces to hide within your workplace like under or behind a bar counter. Contact the police when you have a chance. Protocol concerning cursing customers varies with place of employment. You may want to write down everything that happened, to help you remember, or to make an official report. You could also tell your boss about what happened, and ask for advice dealing with similar situations in the future.   If you work at a call center, you might make an entry in their account describing the exchange, and how you handled it. At an in-person workplace, you might tell your coworkers about what happened, and give them a heads-up in case the customer comes back and curses at them too.
