Problem: Article: Use a sturdy piece of scrap cardboard that be easily removed later and attach it with tape or a hand clamp. Placing a back piece behind the hole prevents any material from running through the hole. If you cannot fit cardboard between the plastic, like if the hole is in a gas can, this can still work, but it may not have as solid of a hold. Make a small pool at the bottom of the hole with a few drops of super glue. The backing will give the glue a flush edge at the bottom of the hole. Super glue dries quickly, so you will have to work fast before it sets. Wear plastic gloves to avoid getting super glue stuck on your hands. Press the baking soda into the super glue with your finger or a flat edge, so the two substances bond together. Super glue is thin, but when combined with a powder like baking soda, it thickens and makes more of a cement-like substance. Other powders like sawdust or chalk powder may also work. Keep building layers until you've formed a plug that is flush with the top of the hole. Even if the hole is filled after the first time, add a second layer of super glue and baking soda to strengthen the bond. As it dries, the hardened substance will be a chalky white color. While it is not the most visually pleasing, it will be stiff and keep the hole closed. Once the patch is dry, you can remove the backing. You can try mixing colored powder or food dye with the baking soda to resemble the color of the plastic more closely. Use short back-and-forth strokes to sand away any buildup. Keep a constant pressure as you file the cement mixture. Sandpaper or a fine-grit metal file will work fine. Wear a face mask so you don't breathe in any plastic particles as you work.
Summary: Attach cardboard on the backside of the hole. Squeeze three or four drops of super glue into the hole. Sprinkle a pinch of baking soda on top of the glue and press firmly. Layer super glue and baking soda until the hole is filled. Let the patch dry for 15 minutes. File the top of the patch, if there is any residue.

Problem: Article: Cheerio mix is a fun, simple mix that rabbits and other small animals will enjoy. You will need a handful of cheerios, a handful of sunflower seeds, some rabbit pellets, and a handful of dry oats. Mix the ingredients together and serve to your rabbit. These are best given as an occasional treat. The sugar in cheerios could cause health problems if given regularly. Honey balls are a fun, sweet treat your rabbit will enjoy. You will need 1/4 cup of crushed Weetabix, 1/4 cup of oats, honey, 1/3 cup of crushed rabbit pellets, and a carrot cut in tiny pieces. Mix everything but the honey together. Then, add honey a little at a time until the ingredients just stick together. Roll into small balls, about the size of a quarter, and serve to your rabbit. Even with natural sweeteners such as honey, be aware rabbits rarely eat sugar in the wild, and eating it regularly in treats can cause dental problems and diabetes in rabbits. Give treats as just that - a treat! A fruit snack is a nice, healthy treat your rabbit will enjoy. You'll need a cabbage leaf, five blueberries, four baby carrots, two cherries, and three grapes. Put the cabbage leaf at the bottom of a bowl. Slice the baby carrots very thin. Chop up the cherries, removing the pits. Slice up the grapes and then add the blueberries. Serve to your rabbit. You can make fruit and veggie salads for your rabbit by experimenting with different combinations of foods. See what foods your rabbit does and does not like and create foods to cater to his tastes.
Summary: Try a cheerio mix. Make honey balls. Create a fruit snack. Experiment.

Problem: Article: Like in any relationship, it helps to meet people face to face (even if you happened to look them up online beforehand). Business networking events might take the form of seminars, trade shows, chamber of commerce meetings or industry club meetings. Research the event before you attend to find out what will be discussed at the event and, if possible, who will be attending. It is also a good idea to arrive early so that you have time to meet and mingle with other business owners before the event begins. This is particularly helpful if you are a small business startup. Virtual communities can be a great way to make contacts on a wider scale. This can be of great help if your startup does not necessarily focus on the local market. The best way to connect and keep in contact with people you meet while networking is through business cards. There are plenty of websites through which you can order business cards, or you can go into your local printing shop and have them customize business cards for you. Make sure that you print out at least a hundred, if not more--you never know when passing out a business card could lead to a great business connection. In the world of business, its important that you be outgoing. Don't be afraid to jump into a conversation. If you have a particular target in mind, then try to find a shared acquaintance to introduce you and put in a good word for you. Some great networking tips include: Holding your drink or food in your left hand. That way, you are always ready to shake hands when the time calls for it. Approach people in groups or standing by themselves. Avoid approaching two people talking (unless you know them) because you might be interrupting a private conversation. When you receive a business card, look at it before putting it away--this is a sign of respect. A great way to make and keep connections is by giving out your business card and asking for one in return. You may find another business owner interested in teaming up and promoting each other. It would be upsetting if you didn't get their business card and had to go searching for ways to contact them. Don't be stingy with your business cards. If someone you meet asks for several of them (perhaps to promote your work in his or her store) give them to him/her gladly. When at a networking event, you can expect to talk about your own business and listen to others speak about their own, a lot. This means that you will have to be prepared to explain what it is your business provides and the ways in which you can help other businesses. You should also be prepared to talk about what type of relationship you are seeking from your business connections. Be personable and genuine, and remember that networking has to do with getting to know others just as much as it has to do with letting others get to know you. It is particularly important to develop relationships with other businesses if you are a small business owner. Rather than looking at each other as competitors, think of your new relationships as a way to band together against larger corporations. For instance, if you own a plumbing business, meet a carpenter and agree to recommend each other when asked by your customers. . While business cards function as a mini organizer for contact information, sometimes you may need to write down extra information, ideas, or referrals when speaking to someone at an event. Make sure that you bring a notebook or organizer where you can jot extra information down like recommendations for other networking events, alternate contact information, or meeting dates. When you make contact with a useful business connection, follow up with a phone call, email or letter to request additional face-time to tell them that you enjoyed meeting them and that you would like to keep the connection going. Maybe you have some ideas about how the two businesses can help each other. Ask to either schedule a short office meeting or to talk over lunch.
Summary:
Attend business networking events. Join a virtual community. Purchase business cards. Introduce yourself to other business owners. Hand out business cards. Focus on developing relationships. Keep notes Follow up with your new connection.
