Problem: Article: Take a plastic storage bin or children's pool and fill it with four to five inches (10 to 13 cm) of dirt or long grain rice. Hide toys and treats in the in the bin, and let your ferret dig around to find hidden treasures. If you choose to use rice, make sure it is not instant. Instant rice can cause intestinal blockages when swallowed uncooked. Similar to a dig box, a ball pit allows your ferret to play around and explore new surfaces. Add layers of ping pong balls to a storage bin, along with some of your ferret's favorite toys. Then, simply allow your ferret to explore. There should be enough balls in the bin that your ferret can move between them, but not so many that they are completely submerged. Packing peanuts make another great option for your ferret to play around in. Just be sure to use the cornstarch variety instead of the styrofoam ones. These dissolve in water, and won't cause intestinal blockages if chewed and swallowed.
Summary: Build a dig box. Make a ball pit. Use cornstarch packing peanuts.

Problem: Article: Gangrene can result from skin problems or changes, or in some cases from of limb ischemia (blockage of the arteries to lower legs and feet). All types of gangrene require professional medical treatment. If you suspect that you have dry gangrene, even if it is a mild case, then you should call your doctor as soon as possible. Symptoms of dry gangrene include: Dry and shriveled skin that sloughs off easily Bluish or blackish colored skin Cold, numb skin Pain (sometimes, but not always present) While all types of gangrene require swift medical treatment, wet gangrene is more likely to be accompanied by an infection, which can be difficult to treat if it gets into your blood. Injuries may also cause wet gangrene, so you may require immediate treatment for that reason as well. Seek emergency medical treatment if you notice any of the following symptoms of wet gangrene: Swelling and pain in the infected area Skin that has changed from red to brown to black Blisters or sores accompanied by a bad-smelling discharge (pus) Fever Feeling sick in general Crackling sound when you press on the affected area If you determine that you have gangrene, there are some symptoms may indicate that the gangrene has infected your blood, which requires immediate medical attention. If you notice any of the following symptoms, call 911 or go to an emergency room right away. Low blood pressure Rapid heartbeat Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath A sudden change in body temperature Pain in your body A rash Confusion and/or light-headedness Cold, clammy, pale skin
Summary: Seek medical attention if you think you have dry gangrene. Go to an emergency room if you have wet gangrene. Watch for severe symptoms.

Problem: Article: Even the most basic up-and-down pull-ups have several different variations that you can switch between as you please. These different styles make use of slightly different muscles, meaning you may be better at 1 than the other. Some styles you can try include: Standard style: Grab the bar with an overhand grip and keep your hands shoulder-width apart. Then, use slow, steady motions to bring your chest close to the bar. Neutral style: Grab 2 parallel bars that are between 1 and 2ft (30 and 61cm) apart, making sure the palms of your hands face each other. Then, pull yourself up until your chest is as level with the bars as possible. Chin up style: Grab a bar with an underhand grip and keep your hands about a shoulder-width apart. Then, slowly squeeze your biceps to bring your chin closer to the bar. Negative pull-ups are basically the second half of an actual pull up: start with your chin above the bar and your chest as close to the bar as possible, then lower yourself down as slowly as you can. These are less intense than full pull-ups, so try using them as a warm-up exercise to get you ready for the real deal. Make sure you start at the "up" position every time. Every time you start a new workout session, remember how many pull-ups you did last time and aim to do at least 1 more this time. Though it may seem impossible to accomplish when you feel tired and exhausted, push yourself and keep trying until you literally can't hold onto the bar any longer. In addition to your individual workout goal, try setting a long-term pull-up goal for extra motivation. You don't have to measure your success in full pull-ups! If you find yourself struggling, try to do another half or quarter pull up each time. Though changing your form or techniques can make the process easier, dedication is the only sure-fire way to reach your pull up goals. The more you practice, the stronger you'll get and, ultimately, the more reps you'll be able to do. For a balanced yet focused pull-up regimen, try doing 3 or 4 sets of pull-ups between 2 and 3 times per week. To give your arm and back muscles time to rest, make sure to take at least 1 day off between pull up sessions. If you'd like, use this time to work on your core or lower body.
Summary: Vary the type of pull up you do. Add negative pull-ups to your routine. Aim to do 1 more pull up during each workout. Perform your pull up routine 2 to 3 times a week.

Problem: Article: The low sitting bridge will divide the long vertical line of your nose more evenly, so the bottom portion of your nose--the portion that the eye naturally catches--will seem smaller. A wide bridge creates a stronger, more visible divide. Larger frames are generally a better option than smaller ones. The large frames can compete with the size of your nose and help balance it out, but smaller frames can draw more attention to the size of your nose. The other option is to go for contacts. Since glasses sit at the top of your nose, they do draw some attention to that area of your face. Getting contacts avoids this issue completely. Your ears and nose share the same horizontal space on your face. Short, dainty earrings can draw attention to this horizontal space, which could also draw attention to your nose. Larger earrings that extend below the ear enlarge the sides of this horizontal space, making the nose at the center of this space appear smaller by comparison. If you do not want to wear long earrings, at least choose short earrings that cover the earlobes completely. This will draw more attention to the sides of this horizontal space, which can help draw attention off your nose. Rounded earrings that occupy both horizontal and vertical space are better than earrings that only add a vertical dimension. Earrings that emphasize straight, vertical lines will also emphasize the straight, vertical line of the nose. Both men and women should look for hat styles that have a rounded or down-turned brim at the front of the face. A brim that hangs down over the front of the face can visually build out the forehead. As a result, the nose appears shorter and more proportionate. Avoid "tricorne" styles, which meet at a point above the forehead. Hats that have a larger brim in the front than in the back may build out the forehead better than those with an even brim all around. Make sure that the crown does not pinch in too tightly toward the front of the face. Ideally, this crown should also be of medium height to maintain better visual balance, and it should not taper in much toward the top. Consider choosing a hat with a wide, colorful band above the brim. This band can draw the eye up and away from the nose.
Summary:
Choose glasses with a wide, low bridge. Wear large earrings. Pick a hat with a prominent brim.
