How to Express Yourself to Others
One of the hardest things to do when you're communicating with someone is expressing yourself. How many times have you said something that just didn't come out the way you wanted it to? How many times have we said something that we really didn't mean, but we were too frustrated to stop it from being said?

It's Not All Bad - Positive Uses For Radiation
Through atomic bombs and horrific stories of radiation use gone wrong, today's populous has come to the conclusion that radiation is quite negative, when in reality there are many positive and productive uses for it when used and applied properly. From medicine to mechanical engineering and feats of electrical production, radiation is viewed by some in a more positive light than the majority of people today.

What's more, some people have a fear of expressing themselves at all. They're afraid to say something that might cost them a friendship. Or they bottle everything up tight and seize up at the mere thought of sharing their true emotions.
PLANET EXPRESS
How to Express Yourself to Others
This can be a constant struggle for people. However, it is something that can be conquered. If you are struggling to express yourself to others, or you know of someone who struggles, then read on. This article will show you what you can do to open up with others.
How to Express Yourself to Others
THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATION
Every being on the planet communicates in some fashion. And the more complex the form of communication is, you will find more complex relationships as well.
Human speech is the most complicated form of communication in the world. We have so many ways to express ideas, feelings, dreams, suggestions, thoughts, intents, love, rage, desire, and so forth. Consider this list of words:
Tiny Sizable Usual Big Small Large Normal Gigantic Minuscule Humongous Microscopic Minute Huge Average Outsized Regular Short Tall
All of these words are indefinable. Try to define 'big'. Uh, not small? Then what is 'small'? Not big? You see, these words convey subtle differences to us, and yet they are all relative words. They depend upon what you are comparing them to. An ant is tiny compared to an elephant, but is large compared to a fruit fly, while the elephant is microscopic when compared to our solar-system.
Words have meaning to us. Subtle differences in each word will convey a slightly different idea. Huge and gigantic have subtle differences. We think of gigantic as bigger than huge. Thus, the words you use in your relationships are of powerful importance. The person who said, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me," never had a complex and in-depth relationship. Words can hurt.
Words have the power to give life and death...especially in relationships.
So it is important that you learn to express yourself. You must learn to convey your thoughts, ideas, dreams, ambitions, hopes and emotions to those that you share a relationship with. Your inability to do so, will damage your relationships.
DANGERS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO EXPRESS YOURSELF
If you have a fear of people, people will avoid you. It's a vicious cycle. You avoid people because you fear that they will hurt you. People see your aloofness, and either think the worst (that you're stuck up), or grant your desire and leave you alone. Then you wonder why it is that no one likes you. When you can't open up to people, people will feel that you are unapproachable. You'll have a hard time getting close to people when you bottle everything up inside. Your relationships will all be shallow. Your inability to express yourself will haunt you in times of trouble. You'll need help, you'll want help, but you won't seek it. You'll hide. So, no one helps you. Then you grow resentful and angry. Another danger is that of isolation. You build walls around your emotions and people instinctively leave you alone. That might be what you wanted at first, but your life will be barren, and empty. Life is relationships. The stronger your relationships the more joy you'll have in life. No matter if it is with your mate, God, children, neighbors, co-workers, friends, relatives, or even yourself, you must learn to express yourself.
TIPS ON EXPRESSING YOURSELF
Do A Lot Of Reading
Reading will help you learn how other people express themselves. Pay attention to word usage, diction, flow, voice and tone. These will give you ideas on expressing yourself.
Look up words that you've never seen before. Use them. They'll provide you with many and myriad ways of expressing your emotions. Often, I've found that a single word does better expressing what I feel than an entire paragraph of sentences. Learning new words will help you express yourself better and reading will help you to learn different ways to do so.
A wise man once said, not every reader is a leader, but every leader is a reader.
Do Some Writing On Your Own
Do a variety of writing. Start a novel. Write letters. Keep a journal or diary. Often, you'll find that writing helps you to think your thoughts through. In the heat of an argument, you'll often say what you don't mean in a tone that creates more resentment. Writing will help you organize your thoughts. It'll give you focus and direction.
Don't Fear People's Judgment
Social anxiety is not a disease. You can't catch it from someone who has it. It is a spiritual state of mind that is the direct result of fear. There is really only one type of fear and that is the fear of the unknown. Don't fear what other people think about you. Honestly, your imagination will create far worse scenarios than what most people will ever think.
To overcome your fear, try asking for their help. Try this, "I'm having a hard time expressing myself, and I thought maybe you could help me." Saying that will invoke an instinctual need that most everyone has-the desire to help and feel needed. Hardly anyone will be critical of you when you've asked for their help.
It also sets the stage to retract what you may say when you say it wrong. Since you've already warned them that you are struggling with expressing yourself, when you actually struggle with it, they'll just shrug it off. It's a great tool to overcoming your fear of other people's judgment.
When You're Upset, Write A Letter
If you're furious at someone, then go ahead and write them a nasty letter. Just don't give it to them. Sleep on it. The next morning, go back over the letter. You'll find that your attitudes and perspective have shifted. I seriously doubt you'll send the letter under those conditions.
But more than that, sending someone a letter that is well thought out is a great idea when you're trying to express yourself. Look, letters can't be argued with, they can't be interrupted, and you can't derail the train of thought. In fact, even if the letter is negative, most people will read it all the way through.
Sometimes a well worded letter will allow you to convey your feelings where a conversation would not.
Be Mature When You Express Yourself
I don't take people seriously when they rant, rave, swear, cuss, insult, deride, mock, or get stubborn. These are immature attitudes that prevent and hinder the expression process.
Here is a rule of thumb. If they are willing to talk about others behind their back, they will do it to you too. Let's stay away from the unproductive gossip, the insults, the profanity, and the finger pointing. These accomplish nothing. Think about it, when is the last time you actually made a situation better by swearing at someone? Maturity in conversation is thoughtfulness, consideration, and the willingness to listen. Show respect to others and they will respect you.
Ask Questions
You'll be amazed at how easy it is to express yourself in the form of a question.
But the short of it is this, questions allow you to interact with others. They involve you in their thoughts, feelings, worries, and cares. This provides an opportunity to express yourself better to them. Expression is best done when there is good interaction. Thoughtful questions provide this platform.

Think of color found in beads as containing all the beautiful hues of the planet. You can touch them, string them, weave them and fire them. No matter what you do they will always remain what they are, beads that you can incorporate into your handmade beaded jewelry. Beading is unlike any other art forms. Once paint is extracted from the tube or jar, it is usually gone forever. Unlike beads which, you can rearrange as many times until you are satisfied with the design.

Design Your Own Jewelry - Using Color to Express Yourself
Remember the When you were a Child and You Loved to Paint Using your Crayola Box and its Wonderful Array of Shades?
Design Your Own Jewelry - Using Color to Express Yourself
Go Purchase a Box and Use the Crayons to Enhance your Handmade Jewelry and Sketching
To further understand how the use of color can enhance your handmade beaded jewelry, transport yourself back to your childhood and think of how you use color to express your feelings and your thoughts. Blending the wonderful colors of tempera to create all those interesting combinations, and sometime we would take them to the extreme until they became black or brown. We did not care, we just enjoyed the process. Adding color to our jewelry making is the same. It is a process that evolves and changes as you become more confident with the color combinations you use..
For good "adult measure", let's review the basics;
Primary: the three primary colors: red, blue and yellow. These are the three colors that serve as a base to all other colors.
Secondary: These are the colors found at the points between each corner of that triangle. Mix blue and red together and you will get purple. Red and yellow make orange. Yellow plus blue makes green.
Tertiary: are achieved by combining the secondary colors. They are the colors that lie in between the primary and secondary colors..
Things begin to get a little more complicated when we consider different combination using the color wheel. Do not let this intimidate you, remember practice is always helpful..
Analog: These are the colors found on either side of any given color. Often these are the colors schemes found in nature. Using analog colors in jewelry making usually feels harmonious. Secondary colors can often be an analogous color. Think of the turning of the leaves in the fall, those wonderful deep yellows, oranges and reds all together to give us a warm palette. The deep blues and light blues of the ocean create a cool palette..
Split Complementary Colors: This is a combination of a split complementary color and an analogous color. Using split complementary colors can give you a design with a high degree of contrast. When combined with the direct complimentary color it results in great color harmony.
Triad Colors: Triad colors are the three hues equidistant on the color wheel. When you want a design that is colorful and yet balanced a triad color scheme might be the way to go.
Applying the Theory to your Beaded Jewelry
The best rule to follow as you incorporate color into you handmade beaded jewelry, is to always remember that you need to please yourself first. The best color combination are those that make you feel great! Play and experiment, there are no mistakes to be made. Try different colors and a variety of combinations until you are satisfied with the results.
Using proper lighting can help you select the best combination for your handmade beaded jewelry. Invest in a natural light lamp. They can be expensive, but you will save your eyes and money in the long run. When designing your handmade beaded jewelry keep the background neutral. You may want to have both a black and white surface you can alternate as you decide on the colors you will use.
Many times, I will draw the different combination in my sketch book. This is particularly helpful when I am attending a bead show and want to select the right color beads to enhance my handmade beaded jewelry. I keep a box of Prismacolor pencils in my design table to use when I am considering different color combination. Another helpful tool is a color wheel, which you can purchase in an art supply store. Another wise investment is to purchase an artist guide to color book. Artist's Color Manual by Michael Jennings. This book combines useful information with appealing photos. It includes helpful color swatches and color theory basics.
Remember enjoy the process and the use of this theory to highlight you handmade beaded jewelry.

The three dimensional Cube corresponds to The Holy Name Yahweh. The three dimensional Cube consists of 12 lines, 8 points, and 6 sides (12+8+6=26). The gematria of The Holy Name Yahweh is 26. The three dimensional Cube is The Holy Name of Yahweh expressed geometrically!
The Sacred Cube Symbol
The Cube is a very prominent symbol that is found in the three great monotheistic (One God) traditions of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. The Cube in Islam is the Kaaba ('Arabic for "cube") in the Holy City of Makkah, which houses the Black Stone. The Cube in Judaism is the Tephillin. In Christianity, the Cube is the Cornerstone of the Temple that the builders rejected.
The Cross is the Cube unfolded. When the Cube is unfolded it forms a seven part Cross. The Cube (Yahweh concealed) is the Cross (Yahweh revealed).
The Hebrew word Mitzvoth ("Commandments"), as found in Leviticus 4:27 has the gematria of 576 (12x8x6). One interesting concept is that the Ten Commandments were not "tablets" of stone, but "cubes" of sapphire stone, because the Hebrew word "luhoth" also means, "cubes."
Each of the 22 letters of the Hebrew Aleph Beyt is a Cube, or a Building Block forming all that exists. Thusly, the Holy Hebrew Bible contains within it all that exists.

Finally, the end results of the game display an attractive magazine article where you can practice your reading skills by finding out what the media has to say about your Hollywood icon.
At the beginning of playing Movie Star Planet you are presented with the option to choose from one of three famous female celebrities. The first scenario involves you as the celebrity character preparing to attend a movie premier where paparazzi and the press will be present. The celebrity has to look her best for the photograph taking and autograph giving. You will notice that the agenda has different suggestions for each character based on the event they're attending. Next, you have a choice of four outfits to select the most appropriate one.
The next level involves a little more skill as you move the character back and forth between picture taking and signing autographs. You have one minute to try to pose for as many pictures and sign as many autographs as you can to get the best score. Remember, the media is judging you by how well you pose for pictures and how generous you are with your autographs. Next your character will participate in a TV interview. You will be asked a series of questions where you can choose from several different answers. Your results are then displayed in the form of two pages of a gossip magazine. Check out your star score to see how well you did!
You can continue playing by proceeding to Day 2 and following the schedule on your agenda. You will be going to a cafe so choose an appropriate outfit for your setting. Once again you will need to pose for photos and sign autographs. Get ready for another TV interview and answer a few more questions. The game will follow a similar form for day 3 as well.

Radiation therapy, often used to help stop the growth and spread of cancerous cells, is perhaps the most widely used form of radiation. There are two forms of therapy using this fairly new science: external and internal radiation. External radiation is simply using large machines to aim specific amounts of radiation directly at cancerous cells, while internal therapy may consist of placing a radioactive pellet directly into the body and is usually only used in adults. The high energy form of radiation that is used in these therapies can be a needed and powerful tool in the treatment of cancer.

It's Not All Bad - Positive Uses For Radiation
Even your daily activities consist of using radiation in a positive manner in ways that are considered so normal that we do not even think twice about using the products. Any time you go to the dentists office or break a bone and go to see your family physician you are exposed to X-ray machines. These tools are useful in diagnosing ailments and to discover the root causes of many physical problems. Furthermore, your home is no safe haven as simple household items such as your microwave produce non-ionizing radiation; a form of radiation that does not have cancer risks associated with it like its sister ionizing form found in ultraviolet light or high energy particles.
It's Not All Bad - Positive Uses For Radiation
In a wider community wide or industrial use, radiation can be used both for energy production and food sterilization. Nuclear radiation is the basis for nuclear physics and nuclear fission, both of which have been monumental scientific discoveries that have led to mass electricity production and countless medicinal and industrial advances. Irradiation is the technical term that is used to describe forms of sterilization currently used by the United States Postal Service to sterilize mail in Washington D.C., and that is used in processes such as food preservation. Since X-rays and gamma rays are used in irradiation materials subjected to it do not become radioactive, so no need to worry about the adverse health effects of opening your mail.
Positive scientific advances, medicinal treatments, household items, and trips to your local dentist are only a few ways that mankind has found to further our knowledge and successes in many different fields. While radiation can be extremely harmful if not monitored and used properly it can also be a tremendous benefit to many fields of study and our industry. There are countless other forms and uses for it and through responsibility we can continue to harness its healing and advancing power.

How to Express Yourself to Others
THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATION
Every being on the planet communicates in some fashion. And the more complex the form of communication is, you will find more complex relationships as well.
Human speech is the most complicated form of communication in the world. We have so many ways to express ideas, feelings, dreams, suggestions, thoughts, intents, love, rage, desire, and so forth. Consider this list of words:
Tiny Sizable Usual Big Small Large Normal Gigantic Minuscule Humongous Microscopic Minute Huge Average Outsized Regular Short Tall
All of these words are indefinable. Try to define 'big'. Uh, not small? Then what is 'small'? Not big? You see, these words convey subtle differences to us, and yet they are all relative words. They depend upon what you are comparing them to. An ant is tiny compared to an elephant, but is large compared to a fruit fly, while the elephant is microscopic when compared to our solar-system.
Words have meaning to us. Subtle differences in each word will convey a slightly different idea. Huge and gigantic have subtle differences. We think of gigantic as bigger than huge. Thus, the words you use in your relationships are of powerful importance. The person who said, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me," never had a complex and in-depth relationship. Words can hurt.
Words have the power to give life and death...especially in relationships.
So it is important that you learn to express yourself. You must learn to convey your thoughts, ideas, dreams, ambitions, hopes and emotions to those that you share a relationship with. Your inability to do so, will damage your relationships.
DANGERS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO EXPRESS YOURSELF
If you have a fear of people, people will avoid you. It's a vicious cycle. You avoid people because you fear that they will hurt you.

Your relationships will all be shallow. Your inability to express yourself will haunt you in times of trouble. You'll need help, you'll want help, but you won't seek it. You'll hide. So, no one helps you. Then you grow resentful and angry. Another danger is that of isolation. You build walls around your emotions and people instinctively leave you alone. That might be what you wanted at first, but your life will be barren, and empty. Life is relationships. The stronger your relationships the more joy you'll have in life. No matter if it is with your mate, God, children, neighbors, co-workers, friends, relatives, or even yourself, you must learn to express yourself.
TIPS ON EXPRESSING YOURSELF
