Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Provide adequate entertainment. Feed the dog a proper diet. Seek help from a certified animal behaviorist if you have an aggressive dog.

Answer: A bored dog is often a destructive or naughty dog. A bored dog will investigate his environment and provide his own amusement, often by chewing or destroying household items. Destruction due to boredom is not an act of defiance. Stuff a hard rubber toy with a hole in it (such as a Kong) with treats for the dog to work out. You can try embedding several treats in a wad of peanut butter and smearing it inside the toy. In hot weather, you can even freeze the treats inside the toy to make them harder to get out. Dog foods high in protein (such as those specifically formulated for puppies or very active dogs) provide the dog with increased energy. Ask your vet if it would be appropriate to switch your dog to a high-fiber diet or a regular adult food. If your dog is aggressive, then it is important to seek help from someone who is qualified to help change its behavior. Contact your dog's veterinarian and ask for a referral to a certified animal behaviorist. They can work with you and your dog individually to help correct the dog's aggressive behavior.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Eat before you go to your appointment. Arrive at least 15-20 minutes early to your appointment. Discuss your medical history with the tattoo artist. Hold still while the tattoo artists shaves and cleans your skin. Inspect the stencil as the artist applies it to your skin.

Answer: Have a small, healthy meal before heading to the tattoo parlor. Eating ensures you have enough energy to make it through your appointment without fainting. Choose a meal with protein and complex carbs. Avoid refined sugars. Before the appointment, you may need to fill out paperwork. Give yourself at least 15 minutes to complete that process and, if you want, talk with the tattoo artist and ask any questions. Bring a state-issued ID to your appointment, as you may need to verify your age. If you're nervous about getting a tattoo, arriving early also gives you time to calm down and adjust to the store environment. If you have any medical conditions, ask your doctor if it is safe for you to get a tattoo. Then, let your tattoo artist know about your recent medical history, particularly chronic conditions. This will make your tattoo artist aware of any possible risks and precautions they may need to make. Bring a doctor's note if you have a chronic medical condition, like diabetes or epilepsy. Some tattoo artists require a note to ensure your safety. When the tattoo artist's ready to begin, they will clean the area you want to be tattooed with rubbing alcohol and shave it with a disposable razor. Stay as still as possible while the tattoo artist prepares your skin and, if you have to sneeze or make a sudden movement, warn them first. If you have sensitive skin, let the artist know so they can shave and clean your skin gently. Keep in mind, however, that the tattooing process may hurt more on sensitive skin. After cleaning your skin, the tattoo artist will likely use soap or stick deodorant to transfer the stencil on your skin, or draw it right on your skin with a special marker. Check the stencil before the artist transfers it on your skin for any concerns or mistakes you notice before the artist begins tattooing. The artist will follow the stencil while working on your skin to tattoo a clean, mistake-free image. Some artists may not use a stencil and trace the image on your skin instead. If this is the case, inspect the traced image before the artist tattoos it on your skin.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Assess the situation for danger. Stay away if the situation becomes threatening or violent. Protect the psychotic individual from themselves. Avoid trying to restrain them, or put yourself in harm's way.

Answer: It is rare for an individual undergoing a psychotic episode to become violent, although it can happen. Psychotic individuals are at a greater risk of harming themselves. Any threats of violence, self-harm, or suicide should be taken seriously. A history of drug and alcohol abuse increases the likelihood of the person becoming violent. If at any point you suspect the person might be dangerous, either to themselves or to others, call for help immediately. Consider calling an ambulance or other medical experts specificallyif there's no time to look up phone numbers, just call emergency services. If you're in a room with an aggressive person, leave the room immediately. If police arrive on the scene, try to explain the situation before they interact directly with the person experiencing the psychotic episode. Without interfering and endangering yourself or others, encourage officers to remain calm and resolve the situation without the use of force. If the person is dangerous to themselves, remove any sharp objects and dangerous materials from the person and from the room, and lock any un-barred windows and balconies. Try to keep the person calm. Call the police or an ambulance if there's a chance the person will attempt suicide or cause themselves serious physical damage. If they ask why you are holding something dangerous (e.g. a knife), say "I'm putting it away." If someone is prone to psychotic episodes, it may be appropriate to keep sharps/potentially dangerous items locked. Speak to the individual calmly, and try to de-escalate the situation. If the psychotic individual is asking for things or making demands, comply with those that are safe and reasonable. If the psychotic individual is acting violent or threatening violence, don't take it on yourself to solve the problem. You could risk personal harm, especially if you try to engage in a physical struggle with the psychotic individual. Your main priority should be keeping yourself and others safe. If you can do things to protect the psychotic individual (e.g. removing a knife from a nearby table top), make sure to keep yourself safe while doing so.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider using the services of a financial planner or advisor. Buck the herd instinct. Re-examine your investment goals and strategies every so often.

Answer:
Many planners and advisors require that their clients have an investment portfolio of at least a minimum value, sometimes $100,000 or more. This means it could be hard to find an advisor willing to work with you if your portfolio isn't well established. In that case, look for an advisor interested in helping smaller investors. How do financial planners help? Planners are professionals whose job is to invest your money for you, ensure that your money is safe, and guide you in your financial decisions. They draw from a wealth of experience at allocating resources. Most importantly, they have a financial stake in your success: the more money you make under their tutelage, the more money they make. The herd instinct, alluded to earlier, is the idea that just because a lot of other people are doing something, you should, too. Many successful investors have made moves that the majority thought were unwise at the time. That doesn't mean, however, that you should never seek investment advice from other people. Just be wise about choosing the people you listen to. Friends or family members with a successful background in investing can offer worthwhile advice, as can professional advisors who charge a flat fee (rather than a commission) for their help. Invest in smart opportunities when other people are scared. In 2008 as the housing crisis hit, the stock market shed thousands of points in a matter of months. A smart investor who bought stocks as the market bottomed out enjoyed a strong return when stocks rebounded. This reminds us to buy low and sell high. It takes courage to buy investments when they are becoming cheaper (in a falling market) and sell those investments when they are looking better and better (a rising market). It seems counter-intuitive, but it's how the world's most successful investors made their money. Your life and conditions in the market change all the time, so your investment strategy should change with them. Never be so committed to a stock or bond that you can't see it for what it's worth. While money and prestige may be important, never lose track of the truly important, non-material things in life: your family, friends, health, and happiness. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/5\/5d\/Start-Investing-Step-23.jpg\/v4-460px-Start-Investing-Step-23.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/5d\/Start-Investing-Step-23.jpg\/aid1319046-v4-728px-Start-Investing-Step-23.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

<\/p><\/div>"} For example, if you are very young and saving for retirement, it may be appropriate to have most of your portfolio invested in stocks or stock funds. This is because you would have a longer time horizon in which to recover from any big market crashes or declines, and you would be able to benefit from the long-term trend of markets moving higher. If you are just about to retire, however, having much less of your portfolio in stocks, and a large portion in bonds and/or cash equivalents is wise. This is because you will need the money in the short-term, and as a result you do not want to risk losing the money in a stock market crash right before you need it.
