Article: You can purchase alcohol ink online or at an art store. Some inks will come in kits that have complementary colors that look good when they are mixed together. Much of the allure of alcohol ink is how the colors blend and mix, so keep this in mind when purchasing your ink. Buy the blending solution when you pick up the alcohol ink. This will dilute the paint and create a unique effect when dropped on top of wet alcohol ink. The blending solution is necessary to make more interesting effects with the ink but isn't mandatory. Use 91% isopropyl alcohol if you can't find or purchase blending solution. You can also use the blending solution to clean any ink that gets on your hands or brushes. Good canvasses include glossy cardstock, shrink film, gloss paper, glass, metal, primed wood, and ceramic. Yupo paper is also a popular canvass to use when painting with alcohol ink.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Purchase alcohol ink. Get an alcohol ink blending solution. Choose a canvas to paint on.
Article: Damage on the frog's skin when you first get it is probably due to being banged around while in transit. However, if the injury doesn't heal in a few days the damage could be the result of a bacterial infection. If it doesn't heal over the course of a week or so, the frog needs to be taken care of by a vet. If not treated, these infections and wounds can let harmful bacteria into your frog's body. This can result in death. Sores and bruises, as well as cuts, can cause a frog's skin to look strange. If your frog's eyes are smoky, cloudy, foggy, or blueish, it most likely has a condition known as Cloudy Eye. This occurs when the eye is bashed, poked, or scratched. If your frog's eyes are cloudy, you should get it veterinary care. If your frog has lost weight, it may have either an internal parasite or Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD). A vet can cure both MBD and a parasitic infection, so take your frog to be seen by a vet if it has lost weight. If your frog has gained weight, this is probably due to overfeeding, or it could be a sign of edema. Cut back on the amount of food it gets and make sure its weight stabilizes by weighing it every few days. If your frog is losing weight, it could be that your frog is just naturally thin or that it needs to be fed more. You will need a digital scale to weigh your tree frog. Set a container with a lid on it on your scale and zero it out. Then put the frog in the container and read the screen. If you plan on documenting the frog's weight over time, be sure to write down its weight every time you weigh it.

Look for sores, cuts, and bruises. Inspect your frog's eyes. Monitor your tree frog's weight.
Article: Sexual thoughts or dissatisfaction might come from another sort of dissatisfaction: hunger. So, don't to skip meals. Try to eat three, healthy balanced meals per day, and remember to hydrate as well, particularly during hot weather. To keep your mind sharp enough to ward off sexual thoughts, try eating brain foods like celery, spinach, walnuts, sunflower or pumpkin seeds, beets, and even dark chocolate! Obviously, exercising is healthy itself, but it also does a few specific things that help damper sexual preoccupations. Exercise can be engrossing and distracting, and when you work out hard enough, other distractions have a tendency of receding into the background. Exercise provides a natural endorphin rush. Endorphins provide a generally good feeling, and help relieve depression. During sex, endorphins are also released, along with other chemicals like the hormone oxytocin. Ergo, exercise can be a good substitute for sexual activity. While playing an individual sport, you may have difficulty getting away from your own thoughts. With team sports, you're much less likely to have this problem because they are social activities. Choose the right type of sport and team. Of course, you may still be attracted to someone else on your team or in your league, but you should be able to determine whether the benefits of playing outweigh the risk of worsening your thoughts about sex. You might also try joining a single-sex team or a different league, for example. When you're tired, you might have trouble focusing. Lack of sleep reduces your alertness and concentration, and it can affect your mood. So, you'll have difficulty preventing your mind from wandering to sex, and it will be harder to implement the sex-free thought practices above. Make sure your bed is comfortable and that you're getting eight hours of sleep and deep sleep or REM sleep.
