Q: The size of the rod you buy should be determined by the size of the fish available to catch in your region. For fish under 20 pounds, use a six-foot rod with at least a 10-pound test line. For fish over 20 pounds, use a seven-foot rod with at least a 20-pound test line. Longer rods are better for fishing from banks, as opposed to a boat, since they offer greater reach. Most sporting good stores sell starter tackle boxes that include a range of supplies to get you started. When it comes down to it, all you really need are sharp fishhooks, but some of the other accessories are nice to have. Glow-in-the-dark bobbers can come in handy when you're fishing at night. Other types of bobbers can be helpful when you're fishing on a still pond. You'll also need buckets and coolers to hold your bait and any catfish you'll be bringing home. Some catfish enthusiasts swear by a specific type of bait, but the truth is that catfish will eat many different things. For your first few catfish expeditions, take a few different types of bait, so you can find out what the catfish in your region like to eat. Try some of these options: Try cut bait. Shad, herring, goldeye, and other baitfish release oils that attract catfish. Slices of these fish are particularly effective for catching channel catfish, which are the most common type of catfish in North America. You can also use live baitfish that haven't been cut. These won't release oil as readily, but they may be more appealing to catfish since they're alive. Experiment to see which one is better. Try crawfish. Catfish in southern regions might eat crawfish, which is available at your local bait shop. Try nightcrawlers, which you can also buy at the bait shop. These worms are appealing to many types of fish.. If you don't want to make a run to the bait shop, you can use chicken livers or pieces of corn. Try an artificial bait. There are dozens of artificial catfish baits sold at sporting goods stores, many of which claim to have a magic ingredient for which catfish go wild. However, expert fishermen say that the best fish are caught with real, live bait. If you know you stand the chance of catching a 50-pound fish, you're going to need a large piece of bait. Smaller bait like nightcrawlers will get stolen off the hook. Catfish aren't going to eat fish pieces that have been sitting out, so you'll need to store them in a bait cooler to keep them cold during the hours you'll be spending on the water. Keep nightcrawlers in a container inside a cooler. Keep cut baitfish on ice. Keep live baitfish in a bucket of cool water.
A: Buy a fishing rod and line. Buy fishhooks, bobbers, and other gear. Experiment with different types of bait. Choose a bait size that matches the size of the fish you want to catch. Keep the bait fresh.

Q: If you are sexually active with your female partner, you may have discussions around birth control and preventing pregnancy. Avoid making decisions for your partner about how she can manage her reproductive system. Support her if she decides to go on birth control or another birth control method. This also extends to abortions and terminating a pregnancy. If you and your partner have an unplanned pregnancy, you can have a discussion with her about the options. But if she decides to have an abortion, as a feminist, it is important that you support her decision. Likewise, if she decides that she wants to have the child, that is her decision and you cannot tell her otherwise. Ultimately, it is her body and she has the right to decide how her body is used. It can be easy to fall into gender stereotypes, especially in heterosexual relationships. But the gendered notion of women in the kitchen, cooking and cleaning, and men in the workplace, bringing home the bacon, are outdated and based on gender bias. As the man in the relationship, be willing to do 50% of the housework, whether this is cleaning, cooking, or gardening. Try to split the housework between the two of you so there is not an imbalance in your relationship. If you and your partner both work, support your partner when she pursues a big account or client at work. Encourage her to take on a leadership role in her job and in other areas of her life. This shows that you are not threatened by her ambition and determination, and that you do not buy into the stereotypical notion that only men can be leaders and achieve professional success. You should also take responsibility for roles in your relationship that may not be typically perceived as "male". This could be doing 50% of the emotional work in the relationship, such as talking about your feelings, your thoughts, and your needs. This could also be actively listening to your partner and responding to her needs. Sex is another area where stereotypical gender roles can come into effect, leading to an imbalance in your sexual relationship with your partner. Talk to your female sexual partner about what she enjoys in bed and how you can please her. Respond to her needs in the same ways she responds to yours. Avoid being the dominate one or the aggressor in the relationship. Instead, focus on maintaining a balance between you and your partner. This will create a sexual relationship that is based on mutual respect and mutual enjoyment. If you are close to your female siblings or have a daughter or a young niece, teach them about the value of feminism. This could mean talking about feminist ideas with them on a regular basis or passing along feminist reading material. Rather than "mansplain" feminism to your female peers, focus on discussing the importance of feminism with them and reinforcing the need for feminism in our society. Put your feminism into action by marching in solidarity with women's right on International Women's Day, or by taking part in rallies for missing and murdered women in your city or area. You can also passionately engage in feminist issues online by joining forums and feminist groups. Once you join women's rights groups, it is important that you participate in the conversation using active listening and take a supporting role. Check your privilege and get involved in an open and engaged way.
A: Support your female partner's decisions about her body. Avoid reinforcing gender stereotypes in your relationship. Discuss expectations around sex with your female sexual partner. Support feminist ideas when you are around young women. Display passion and engagement in women's rights.

Q: To make a moisturizing hair mask, beat one egg in a small bowl. Then, add 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of castor oil to the bowl and stir the mixture. Castor oil can be found at your local superstore as well as online. Put 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of glycerine and 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of apple cider vinegar in the bowl. Mix the solution thoroughly until all the ingredients are combined and smooth. If you like, you can also add 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of honey to the mask. Use your hands or a pastry brush to apply this moisturizing hair mask to your tresses. Ensure you have an even coating from root to tip. Gently massage the mixture into your hair. You can repeat this treatment once or twice per week. Heat a towel in the sunshine or in your clothes dryer and then wrap it around your hair. The heat helps the ingredients in the mask penetrate your hair. Leave the mask on for 40 minutes. Use a mild shampoo that doesn't contain parabens or sulfates, which can damage your newly-moisturized locks. There's no need to condition your hair -- the mask has already done that!
A:
Blend 1 egg and 2 tablespoons of castor oil in a small bowl. Add 1 teaspoon each of glycerine and apple cider vinegar. Apply the mask to your hair and massage it in. Wrap your hair in a warm towel and let the mask sit for 40 minutes. Wash your hair.
