Pascal's Pyramid, or Pascal's tetrahedron is an interesting extension of the ideas from RG11  Pascal's triangle. In this article, I take some of the basic properties of Pascal's triangle, such as sums of rows and see if they can be modified to apply to Pascal's tetrahedron. One famous property of Pascal's triangle is that the sums of the rows are the doubling numbers.

 If you try this with the average of the layers in Pascal's tetrahedron, you should find you get a sequence which gets closer and closer to tripling each time. This explains why the numbers get large so much faster in Pascal's tetrahedron. We can also look at the symmetry of Pascal's tetrahedron. If you arrange each layer as an equilateral triangle, it has rotational symmetry of order 3, and reflective symmetry from each of its corners to the midpoint of the opposite side. This may sound complicated, but let's think about Pascal's triangle for a moment. in each row, every number appears twice unless it is in the very centre of the row. This is due to the symmetry through the centre of the triangle. Pascal's tetrahedron, however, due to slightly more complicated symmetry, has every number repeated three times is each layer, with the exception of a number which is sometimes found in the very centre of the triangular layer, such as the 6 in layer .                  

Individuals may develop chronic emotional and behavioral problems following exposure to pervasive stresses, such as the loss of community infrastructure, of home or employment, or of family or friends. In addition, emotional exhaustion and physical wear and tear may delay the recovery of an individual or family. The severe disruption and stress that floods can cause in a household may lead to an increase in family dysfunction or a risk of abuse.Children and adults frequently experience traumatic reminders, during which individuals will suddenly relive all the emotions, fears, thoughts, and perceptions they initially had at the time of the flood. Typical traumatic reminders are flood watches and warnings, the sudden onset of dark clouds, bolts of lightning, thunder, and rain.Here are some ways to deal with disaster-related stress:Don't expect your home, business or life will be restored instantly. Accept that physical and mental restoration takes time.Determine what's really important.

 Keep in mind that other family members' ideas of what should be a top priority may not be the same as yours.Focus on the big picture, not the little details and little problems.Learn to accept that you may not be able to control some of the things happening around you, so save your energy for things you can control.Make a list of things that need to be done and the order in which they need to be done. Don't try to do everything at once or nothing will get done right.Realize that expressing disbelief, anger, sadness, anxiety and depression after a disaster are normal.Realize that your emotions and moods can change unexpectedly.Don't overlook your children's feelings. 

They need to feel they can count on you for extra attention, love and support.Make sure your children understand they are not responsible for the problems the family is facing.Be reassuring but honest about the problems the family is facing. This can help children feel more in control.If the family is facing financial problems, ask children to help think of ways to cut costs.Make sure your  family eats nourishing foods.Get enough sleep – at least seven to eight hours a night. Avoid sleeping pills because they can have a negative effect on normal sleeping patterns.Talk with friends, family, counselors or clergy.Don't be afraid to ask for help.For more information, check out the links below:flood restoration west auckland, flood northshore
