Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Figure out the source of the web restrictions. Try visiting an alternative version of a website. Use a cellular data connection Connect directly to the modem. Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN)

Answer: Depending on the source of the web restrictions (e.g., a school network versus parental controls), the strength of the web restrictions will vary: Public web restrictions, such as the ones found in coffee shops or on parental-controlled computers, can sometimes be bypassed with most of the general strategies found in this section. Regional web restrictions, such as the ones found on some YouTube content, typically require a proxy or VPN to access. School, government, and other workplace-style web restrictions are usually foolproof enough that you'll need to employ a proxy or portable browser. You can still try using cellular data to tether your computer, however. Some web restrictions block specific web addresses (e.g., www.facebook.com) without blocking variations of the address. You may be able to bypass specific domain blocks by using one of the following variations on the site's address: IP address - If you can find the website's IP address, you may be able to enter the IP address in the address bar as a way of circumventing the web restrictions. Mobile site - By placing a m. between the "www." and the rest of the website's address (e.g., www.m.facebook.com), you can open the mobile version of the website. The mobile version often must be blocked separately from the regular version, so some web restrictions miss this exploit. Google Translate - In rare cases, you can go to https://translate.google.com/ and enter your website's address in the left-most box, select a new language for the right-most box, and click the link in the right-most box to open the website in a different language. . If you have a supported iPhone or Android smartphone, you can use a process called "tethering" to use your phone's cellular data connection as a Wi-Fi network. This method is relatively guaranteed as long as your computer allows you to select a network. Keep in mind that tethering takes up a significant amount of cellular data, especially if you're downloading files or streaming video. The linked article references using tethering on a laptop, but the same instructions will work for a desktop computer. If you can attach your computer to the Internet modem via Ethernet, you can bypass most network restrictions. Naturally, you shouldn't do this if you don't have permission to access the modem. The modem is usually separate from the router. If your Internet connection uses a router/modem combo, this method most likely won't work for you. This method is most effective for home Internet connections rather than school, work, or public connections. . If you're able to edit your computer's network connections (e.g., select a Wi-Fi network to connect to), you can most likely set your computer to use a VPN. Keep in mind that you must first select and pay for a VPN service before you can use most VPNs. VPNs can be used on mobile platforms (e.g., smartphones or tablets) as well as on computers. One free VPN option is Hotspot Shield. If you can download and install Hotspot Shield on your selected computer, you can turn it on without having to configure it in your computer's settings.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn the medical reasons why cats demonstrate unwanted behavior. Learn the behavioral issues that could be causing your cat's bad behavior. Understand that your cat may not actually be misbehaving. Familiarize yourself with how cats learn. Learn what disciplinary actions will not work.

Answer: As much you might want to think that your cat is doing something bad simply out of spite, there may be a medical or behavioral reason why she's doing what you don't want her to do. For example, your cat may be going outside of the litter box because of a urinary problem (urinary tract infection, kidney disease) that keeps her from making it to the litter box in time. Your veterinarian will be able to determine if a medical problem is the root cause of the undesirable behavior. But also remember your cat may have a anxiety problem. Pica is a medical issue that involves eating or chewing on inedible objects, like plastic or cardboard. If your cat is chewing on or eating unusual things, it may be a sign of dental or gastrointestinal disease. Dementia could be causing your cat to cry at night. Medical issues should be ruled out before behavioral issues are considered. If your veterinarian has been able to rule out medical causes of bad behavior, then it is time to start looking more closely at your cat's behavior. One behavioral cause of bad behavior in cats is stress. Cats do not adjust well to change (new house, new pet, new baby), so changes in their environment can easily stress them out, causing them to scratch furniture, spray urine, etc. Your cat may be acting out if she's bored. If your cat does not have enough toys to play with or doesn't get the attention she wants from you, she may find other things to do out of boredom, like tearing up toilet paper. Keep in mind that she probably does not realize that the behavior is wrong; she's simply doing something to keep her busy. Your cat may misbehave if she hasn't been properly trained. Although cats are typically very smart, they still need to be trained to do the right thing. If she has not been trained, she will not know what's right and what's wrong and will essentially do as she pleases. Keep in mind that behaviors you may consider acting out such as scratching furniture, just to sharpen their claws are simply a normal part of cat behavior. Instead of punishment, you might think about ways to provide the cat with a more appropriate outlet for that behavior, such as providing multiple scratch posts. Make sure you are providing your cat with an interesting, enriching environment. Puzzle feeders, scratch posts, toys, climbing towers, and engaging in active play every day are all ways your cat can redirect the behavior. How cats learn is a simple concept: they repeat experiences that are good and avoid the experiences that are bad. It is very important to remember that cats do not learn by punishment. Instead of teaching her that what she is doing is wrong, punishment will leave your cat feeling confused and fearful. She will probably want to avoid you, which will weaken your bond with her. As just mentioned, punishment will not get your cat to stop the bad behavior. Yelling and hitting your cat are forms of punishment that you should never use to discipline her. In addition, using a spray water bottle is generally frowned upon as a way to discipline cats, although many cat owners use it. Although you may think that spraying water on your cat will deter her from the bad behavior, she is actually learning to perform that behavior when you are not around. Use of the spray bottle can also make her fearful and wary of you. Rubbing your cat's nose in her urine if she goes outside of her litterbox is an ineffective disciplinary method. It actually reminds her of a good spot to go to the bathroom. Scruffing should not be used as punishment. It can be a method to disrupt bad behavior, but is not an effective method to punish your cat.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find a therapist if you're struggling to cope. Set therapeutic goals for yourself. Enhance your support system. Forgive and accept yourself.

Answer:
If you are having difficulty forgiving someone and it is impacting your life in a negative way, perhaps it is time to seek professional help from a counselor or therapist. Therapies intended to promote forgiveness have been successful in helping people overcome past hurts and achieve peace and resolution. Obtain a referral or suggestion from your physician, health insurance company, or a trusted family member or friend. However, if that is not feasible, contact your local department of mental health about counseling options. If you feel you and your therapist are not a good fit, look for a different therapist. Every therapist is different and finding one with whom you feel comfortable is essential. Try a therapist who practices cognitive behavioral therapy. Your therapist will help examine and dispel the negative thought patterns that you have developed. Consider spiritual counseling. Many people find comfort in seeking help from spiritual leaders who can guide them toward forgiveness. The power of prayer has been successful toward healing and alleviating feelings of guilt and shame, which are motivators for people seeking forgiveness for various reason. Commit to changing your behavior. In both psychotherapy and physical therapy, you will benefit from setting goals. Engage in the process by allowing yourself to be open and vulnerable. Don't abandon the process just because it gets difficult. Your hard work will pay off and leave you with a healthy sense of accomplishment. Identify your objectives. For example, would you like to feel more at peace toward a family member who betrayed you? Tell the therapist that this is one of your goals. Reward yourself when you reach your goal. Your motivation will increase if you reward your accomplishments. Adjust your objectives rather than give up. Continue to make new goals as it will keep you engaged in life. Surround yourself with people who care about you. This includes family, friends, and co-workers. Branch out and meet new people to expand your circle of support. You have learned so much through the therapeutic process that you feel resourceful and confident. A good support system will help you reduce stress and may even boost your immune system. Exploring your interests may lead to joining groups that allow you to meet new people, and experience new situations. Personal struggles can leave you feeling bad about yourself. You may feel guilty for not taking care of yourself in a situation or you unfairly blame yourself for what happened. You can learn to manage feelings of guilt and shame rather than try to eliminate them. If you have chosen to participate in cognitive behavior therapy, it will help you examine your thoughts and develop new more effective ways of thinking about yourself.
