INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In order to get something to bite the bait, you'll need to make sure that you are fishing in an area that has at least 75 continuous (vertically or horizontally) tiles/blocks of any liquid (this includes lava and honey). This technically means that you can fish in any body of water so long as they adhere to the 75 continuous tiles/blocks requirement. The easiest way to fish is to go to the nearest ocean biome. However, you'll need to be careful since you're probably going to come across some high-level monsters on your way there. Although it's possible to make your own fishing area, it will take time. You might want to look into this though, once you've acquired more powerful equipment after defeating a couple of bosses. You can also fish in lava and honey, but you will need to make sure that you have the right fishing pole and bait. You cannot fish while submerged or standing in water. Make sure you stand close to the water, but not in it. Open your inventory and place the fishing pole in your hot bar. While you have your inventory open, select your bait and place it in one of the ammo slots to the right below your inventory. Now you'll need to wait for the bobber to move, indicating that you've caught something. Once it's moving, click or press the attack button again and you should now have the item in your inventory.

SUMMARY: Go to a body of water. Stand next to the body of water. Equip the Fishing Pole. Equip bait into your ammo slots. Reel in the fish.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To imitate the patina effect, you'll need a special kind of paint that has tiny metal particles in it. This is called oxidizing paint or surfacer. This will react with a special patina solution to create that patinated look. For this project, you'll need: Containers (x2; for paint and sealant; optional) Degreaser (optional) Foam brush (x2) Gloves Metal (to patinate) Oxidizing paint & patina solution (often sold together) Paint stirrer Plastic/rubber gloves Sealant (spray-on recommended) Dish soap & water Fumes from the paint and oxidizing solution you'll be using can build up in areas with poor airflow and cause injury or death. Choose a well ventilated work area and a flat, stable work surface for this project. Paint can sometimes spatter and spread where you'd rather it not. Lay down a tarp or some newspaper to catch unwanted paint droplets in your work area. Depending on the container your oxidizing paint and patina solution came in, you may be able to work straight from the container or you may want to pour these into separate containers. If you decide to use a separate container for your oxidizing paint, be sure to mix the paint with a stirrer thoroughly so it is consistent throughout before transferring the paint. Dirt, oil, and other contaminants on the surface of your metal can negatively impact the outcome of the patina. A little bit of dish soap, warm water, and a good scrub will be enough to clean most metal. Allow it to air dry, then you're ready to apply the oxidizing paint. The most thorough cleaning will yield the best results. An overnight soak in a suitable degreaser will remove contaminants entrenched deeply in crevices. Wearing gloves will prevent you from accidentally leaving behind fingerprints, which can cause the patina to deform. The small metal particles in the paint can sometimes clump up and create inconsistencies in your patina. Take a paint stirrer and thoroughly mix the paint so it is smooth and consistent throughout. Then, use a clean foam brush to apply the paint to your metal. Each brand of paint will be different, so you'll have to follow your paint's directions for the best results. Generally, apply two thin coats of paint with one hour of drying time between coats. Depending on your surface, you may need a few coats before it is completely and evenly covered with oxidizing paint. After the second coat, wait until the paint is tacky to the touch. Be sure to wear your gloves while checking tackiness. Then, take your clean foam brush and: Use liberal applications of the patina solution to create an intense effect. Be consistent, inconsistency will lead to patchy patination. Use incremental applications of the patina solution to gradually intensify the effect. This way, you're less likely to overshoot your ideal patina. Wait patiently for the color change. Many factors can influence the time it takes to oxidize and create a patina effect. Generally, color should change in 10 to 15 minutes. At this point, you will be able to see how the paint interacts with the patina solution. Once the paint and solution are dry, you can reapply more paint and solution to modify the patina to suit your preferences. Much like paint can flake off or fade over time, so can your imitation patina. A thin layer of clear sealant will help prevent this from happening.

SUMMARY: Purchase your project supplies. Ready your work area. Prepare the metal. Mix and apply your oxidizing paint. Add the patina solution. Wait until it is dry, then adjust the patina as you see fit.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're coming out of a long-term relationship, especially with someone you shared a house or apartment with, being alone may feel scary or intimidating. The best way to get over your ex (and distract yourself from any temptation to call him/her) is to be around other people as often as you can. Reach out to friends and family members, even if you haven't seen them or heard from them in a while. It's okay if you have to initiate the planning; the important thing is not to be alone. Try taking up a new hobby or enrolling in a class, and ask a friend to try it out with you. This can be a great distraction from your feelings and a good bonding experience between you and your friend. After a long relationship, you probably have a lot of physical objects that remind you of your ex. These may be little gifts and shared objects, and seeing them everyday can be a constant reminder of your past relationship. Getting rid of (or at least hiding) these objects that remind you of your ex can help you feel less compelled to contact your ex in the wake of a breakup. Box up anything that reminds you of the other person. Whether it's photographs, gifts, or belongings that he/she left behind, it's best to keep them out of sight. If you can't keep these sentimental reminders in your home without dwelling on your ex or feeling tempted to contact him/her, throw them in the trash. Just be sure to arrange for a mutual friend to return any belongings that your ex may want back before you throw anything out. Sometimes moving on from a breakup can be difficult. Even after removing the sentimental reminders of your ex, you may find yourself thinking about him or her on a regular basis, and that may give you the urge to contact your ex. If you're having a hard time moving past the breakup, making some changes in your routine or your life in general may help. If you shared a house or apartment, move out and find a new place in a different neighborhood. If you work together or used to work together, consider looking for a new job. If you don't want to leave your job but you still work together and share space, ask your boss if you can change desks to be farther away from one another. Find other ways to change up your routine and your physical surroundings. Do whatever you can to make subtle changes in your life and erase all reminders of your ex. Whether you were the person who initiated the breakup or your actions/behavior led to your ex breaking up with you, you may be carrying around some guilt. It's important to accept the past and move on in order to heal. Remember that no matter how guilty you may feel, your ex certainly played a role in things falling apart - and that's okay. Moving on means learning how to love yourself and forgive yourself for your mistakes. Eventually, once you've forgiven yourself, you may be able to forgive your ex as well.

SUMMARY:
Spend as much time as possible with friends and family. Put away or get rid of sentimental reminders. Change your life to stop thinking about your ex. Forgive yourself for any part you played in the breakup.
