Article: Choose a short passage, making sure that every letter in the alphabet is used to begin a word in the passage. If it's too hard to find one with any Xs and Zs, you can write your own. Number each of the words. Starting with the first word in the passage, count the words and then number them left to write. It should look like: "A1 fine2 day3 to4 go5 out6 running7", etc. Write your message using the numbers. In the example, A = 1, F = 2, D = 3, 4 = T, 5 = G, 6 = O and 7 = R.

You'll make up a rule that determines how the words are found, and this will be used to transmit them message. Pick your book. This should be a common book that both you and the receiver of the message own. It must be the exact same edition so that the words and pages are in exactly the same places. Determine your method. Book ciphers often use three numbers separated by commas to denote information. (100,28,5) might mean that the target word is on the 100th page, the 28th line and the 5th word in that line. Write your messages using the method. Your "words" will be made up of groups of numbers and almost impossible to break.

Article: Cats are certainly adept at communicating when they're angryhissing, growling, flattening their ears, and fur standing on end is hard to miss. However, general aggression is just one of many behaviors associated with a frightened cat. Other behaviors to look for include: Hiding or running away Freezing in place Releasing anal glands, urine, or stool Not using the litter box Your cat may have a consistent set of triggerssuch as sounds, people, etc.that cause the fearful reaction. In many cases, you may be able to help the cat adjust by simply reducing the cat's exposure to the trigger of the fear or aggression. Common examples include: Loud sounds or quick, unexpected movements Strange or new environments Unfamiliar people or animals Active, unpredictable children Stressful events (moving and trips to the vet, especially) For many stimuli that trigger a fearful response in your cat, the answer is simply to give your cat some time and space alone. If the stressful occurrence caused your cat to hide in her carrier or another favorite hiding spot, then leave her be. She'll get over it accordingly. Note that while a sound might make her hide for a few minutes, something like moving to a new home might make her scarce for days. Make sure she has access to food, water, and her litter box to use nearby. Trying to force your cat out of a hiding spot before she's ready will only stress her out more and amplify the fearful response. Don't take it personally as though she's afraid of you. When helping an aggressive or fearful cat after a move, you may want to introduce her to the new home one room at a time. Start with a calm secluded room where you can put her carrier, toys, food/water, and litter box (on the other side of the room from the food/water). Cats respond to few things as well as food. If your cat has a fearful response to a friend or a new roommate who you'd really like the cat to bond with, then put that person on food and treat duty. Start by having the person fill the cat's food dish and then simply sit on the other side of the room without making eye contact or otherwise paying any attention to the cat. Have the person move slightly closer over the course of several repetitions. Have the person give her treats as well. Set the treat out where your cat can see it and then move away to a similar distance, moving closer over time. Your cat will begin to associate this person with good things instead of treating the person as a fear trigger. Remember to let your cat set her own pace. Luring her out is not the same as forcing her. Ultimately, she needs to choose to come toward the person. Cats love to be up above the action where they can look down and survey in safety. If the fearful response stems from an overactive toddler or a new animal in the house, then a cat tower where your cat can retreat is a great option. Even the option of a cat tower can help calm your cat. Your cat is much more likely to respond fearfully to a situation if she feels cornered. If she always knows that she has her tower to escape to, then she's less likely to respond aggressively when she can just run away to her safe spot.

Recognize signs of a fearful cat. Isolate the cat's fear triggers. Give your cat space. Use food to motivate your cat. Provide a high perch.
Article: Before beginning the process of dating, think about what kind of relationship you want and what kind of person you want to date. Most relationships are best when you start out as friends because it gives you an opportunity to figure out if you are compatible and if the person has the characteristics that you desire in a mate. While some people do not like being single, sometimes you have to think about everything that you have going on in your life and decide whether or not you even need to be in a relationship. If you need to focus on school, work, or family matters, the answer may be no, for the time being. There is nothing wrong with being single. If you are part of the LGBTQ community, you may have a circle of friends that you hang out with, and there is a chance, perhaps just a small chance, that you may already know someone that you want to date in that circle. If this is not the case, you can find a potential boyfriend while going to school, work, and even while traveling. The opportunities are endless. If you meet someone and you know that he has a same-sex preference and you also know that he is public about his sexual preference, then you can be cautiously public about expressing your interest in getting to know him. If you meet someone and you are not sure about his sexual preference, hold off on publically expressing any feelings that you may have towards him because this could create an uncomfortable situation for both of you. There are LGBTQ clubs and organizations that provide a wealth of programs in communities around the world. There are also awareness centers and resources focused on assisting and celebrating the LGBTQ community. Many long-term relationships, and even some marriages, have started with an introduction by a friend or co-worker. Do not be afraid to ask the people from these groups to introduce you to someone. Often, those you spend the most time with know you best and can serve as great matchmakers. You can use social media to get connected and meet new people. While you do not want to be aggressive when sending non-private messages, social media platforms, such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, can be used to expand your network of acquaintances. The more people you meet, the greater likelihood you have of finding a boyfriend. There are online dating websites that offer a same-sex option, such as OurTime, Match, and Zoosk. As with anywhere else in life, you have to be cautious when meeting people that you do not know. This rule applies if you meet someone at a grocery store or at a nightclub. It applies across the board.
