INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Instead of using a standard development tool in a standard way, find ways to experiment and stretch the boundaries of what the programming framework or coding language can do. For instance, instead of coding images to appear as just images, use an image as your web page's background. You might not be able to flex your creative muscles in your classes or workplace. Work on side projects of your own at home that you can really throw yourself into. This will keep fresh ideas flowing, and prevent you from getting bored. Always aim to level up your abilities. Look for projects that test your skills, or try to develop your own programming projects at home. Spend time learning more programming languages. For instance, if you only know C++, try to learn Java. These new programming languages will not only help make you more marketable to clients, but they will also help you broaden the way you think about programming and the possibilities it holds. When programmers are truly stuck, they look for advice or guidance from others who have been there before. Whether that means talking to a colleague who has more experience with your particular programming problem or consulting a programming forums, never discount the wisdom and assistance of others. Learn how to ask the right questions, too. In conversation with your colleagues, don't just refer to the problem you're having refer to the end goal you're trying to accomplish, too. Your fellow programmers might be able to provide an easier way to get your code to do what you want it to. Check out online programmer communities like Ruby on Rails and Stack Overflow.

SUMMARY: Think creatively. Develop a desire to improve your skills. Ask for help if you need it.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your fish will need to be placed in a temporary holding tank while you clean and refill their permanent home. So find a suitably sized bowl, container or bucket that will serve as a temporary holding tank. Use a bowl or container that has not been washed with soap, as the residue from many soaps can be harmful to fish. You will need to age the water you will use in your holding tank to equalize the temperature and PH balance. Let the water sit overnight after filling the temporary holding container to achieve the proper temperature and to allow the levels of chlorine in the water to neutralize. If you don't want to wait for water to age overnight, then it is wise to treat this water with a dechlorinator. These products neutralize the chlorine levels found in most city and municipal water sources. Make sure the water in this temporary holding tank is the same temperature as the water in the permanent tank. You may also wish to cover this tank with a lid to prevent the fish from jumping out. Don't place the temporary holding tank in a window or under a bright light, as the heat from these sources can raise the water temperature, potentially harming your fish. Also, be sure to place your temporary holding tank in a place where children and other household pets can't bother the fish. Take your fishnet and scoop your fish out of the fish bowl and put them into the temporary holding tank of fresh water. Use a large bowl for this holding tank so that your fish have plenty of room to swim. When using a fishnet to transfer fish from one container to another, make sure the containers are close together. This will reduce the amount of time the fish is out of the water, thus reducing its stress levels. Alternatively, you can use a small, clean bowl to transfer your fish. Make sure the bowl does not have soap or soap residue on it and select a rounded bowl with smooth edges. When using this method, simply dunk the small bowl into the fish tank and allow the fish to swim into it. Be patient and don't chase the fish around its bowl. This could stress the fish out. While you undertake the cleaning process, make sure to keep a watchful eye on your fish in their temporary tank. Look for changes in their behavior, color and activity levels. The following signs should be an indicator that the water in the temporary tank is too warm. Hyperactivity Changes in the fish's color "Yawning" at the surface of the water (although some fish, like labyrinth fish, breathe this way) If the water is too cold, your fish may exhibit the following signs: Inactivity Sitting on the bottom Changes in color

SUMMARY:
Find a holding tank. "Age" the water. Avoid direct light. Move your fish. Monitor your fish.
