INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Some flowers or plants that essential oils are derived from require a larger quantity to create one drop of oil. For roses, it takes almost 60 roses to make one drop of oil, and this should be reflected in the price of the oil. An unusually low price is normally a sign that the oil is diluted in some way, making it less pure. If all of the oils from a particular brand are the same price, it is usually indicative of less pure oils. You could expect to have a range of prices from $20 for a more abundant oil, such as lavender, all the way up to $80 for an oil that is harder to make, such as rose. Try to buy from a supplier who distills their own oils, or deals directly with a distiller who does. Suppliers should be willing to provide you with a sample (maybe for a small fee) before encouraging you to buy larger quantities. This shows that they are confident in their product and believe that if you try it you will buy. Being able to read the label and identify the plant makeup of the oil is the first step to buying a quality oil. The general rule of thumb is to purchase by the Latin name, which can be found by searching online for the plant, as this is normally the most specific. For example, many customers purchase lavandula oil, also known as lavender, because of its calming effects. A common mistake is purchasing lavender oil instead, which has the opposite effect and will make the user more alert. There should be a statement on the packaging of the oil that says “100% Pure” or something similar to this claim. If there is not, it has likely been mixed or adulterated with some other substance.

SUMMARY: Compare the prices of the essential oils. Ask your supplier about the purity of their oils and the distilling process. Search for oil by the specific name of the plant it is derived from. Check the packaging for a purity statement.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Zombies will be swarming your fortress almost constantly, so you'll need strong walls to repel them. Stone makes for the strongest walls, though it is the most time-consuming process. The thicker the walls are, the better.  Remember that Zombies can break stone blocks if they attack it continuously. Also, there are zombies that can climb up walls if not protected; you need to set up traps around your base. This will create ramparts, allowing you to more easily defend the wall from attacking zombies. It will take some extra materials, but your fort will be much more secure. Use dynamite to blast a large chasm around your fort. Attacking zombies will fall down the hole, killing them if it's deep enough. Make sure that the chasm goes all the way around your fort.  You can build a bridge with a ladder hanging down to allow you access to the fort. Zombies aren't able to climb ladders. For best effect, make the sides of the chasm as smooth as possible. This will ensure that the zombies can't break their fall on protruding blocks. Your fort needs to be well supplied to survive for long days. To store your rations, you need to build a small chest or simply make use of the house's drawers and cupboards. To build a storage chest, you need 6 Plywood.  Plywood can be built from Wood Planks, not from burnt or old trees. Press I; click the Storage Chest in the craft list to activate the pattern. Following the pattern, place 1 plywood per box to finish the process. Building a farm is a good source of water; you can make an infinite water hole by breaking one block off the ground and pouring water into it. The supply will be infinite as long as you use a glass jar for drinking.

SUMMARY: Build tall walls. Build a walkway onto the top of the wall. Dig a deep ditch around your wall. Get Supplies.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can make flowers with pleated satin ribbon fairly easily. You will need a length of ribbon between about 18 and 24-inches long. You will also need some quick drying and strong glue. If you have a glue gun, you can use that. To form the base of the flower, you need a chipboard circle, and for the centrepiece you will need a button.  The diameter of the chipboard circle will depend on the size of flower you want to make. A few inches diameter should be okay for a length of ribbon that is 18-inches long.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most cases of car sickness can be dealt with using lifestyle changes and home remedies. However, sometimes car sickness can get in the way of your job or everyday functioning. In this case, you should talk to your doctor about possible medical interventions, such as over-the-counter or prescription medication.  You should also talk to your doctor if you (or your child) experience symptoms well after you have gotten out of the car, severe headache, difficulty hearing or seeing, and difficulty walking. These could indicate issues that are more serious than regular car sickness.  Susceptibility to car sickness may be related to age, race, sex, hormone factors, sensory illness, and migraines. Ask your doctor if you have an elevated risk for motion sickness. There are over-the-counter and prescription drugs that are effective against car sickness. Most of them contain dimenhydrinate (aka dramamine) or meclizine. Some popular brands are Dramamine and Bonine/Antivert. Some of these are available as patches and can be particularly helpful because of their ability to release the medicine over time. Antihistamines can prevent nausea caused by motion sickness by dulling the inner ear's motion sensors. In order to work properly, you should take the medication 30-60 minutes before you begin your car trip. Look into the side effects before using any of these drugs (especially if you're driving), and ask your doctor just in case. Antihistamines can make you feel sleepy and affect your ability to operate machinery. Scopolamine is only safe for adult use--not for child use. It is prescription-only and is worn as a patch behind the ear. You must wear it 4 hours before your traveling commences. While its side effects can be severe (blurred vision and dry mouth), it is very effective at combating nausea caused by motion sickness. Talk to your doctor about whether it might be a good option for you.

SUMMARY:
Talk to your doctor about car sickness. Take antihistamines 30 – 60 minutes before entering a car. Ask your doctor for a scopolamine prescription.
