Problem: Article: A proxy is a server that you connect to that allows you to get "outside" of your network. You connect to a proxy and route your traffic through it, so that your IP is masked and traffic appears to be coming from the proxy server. There are several types of proxies that you will run into as you research proxies. Each offers a certain degree of anonymity, and some are more secure than others. There are four main types of proxies: Web-based proxies: The most common and easiest to use proxy. These are servers that you connect to through a browser do visit a visit a website anonymously. Open proxies: These are proxy servers that are either accidentally left open or are hacked. They are often not secure and can contain malicious software. It is recommended that you avoid open proxies. Anonymity networks: These are private networks that are run by users donating bandwidth. They are often incredibly slow and due to the fact that anyone can host bandwidth, they are fairly insecure. VPN (Virtual Private Network): These are private networks where you directly connect to a proxy server maintained by a proxy company or organization.
Summary: Understand the basic concepts of a proxy. Know the different types of proxies.

Problem: Article: It never feels good to go to a restaurant and then once there to be unsure whether they can truly keep all traces of seafood away from your meal. Instead, call and talk to the manager even before you step foot in the establishment. Tell the person in charge about the seriousness of your allergy and ask them if they can make accommodations for you. In most cases, good restaurants will make a huge effort to serve you a meal that is seafood free, especially if they are given some notice beforehand. Ask them very clearly whether there is any seafood in anything you ordered. Tell them that you have an allergy and that it can be dangerous or even life-threatening if you come into contact with any seafood at all. Being clear with them will help you avoid accidentally eating any seafood. It's important to get across to your server that your allergy is not just a matter of preference but does in fact pose a threat to your health. Even if you don't plan on eating seafood, some marine organisms can become airborne when cooked. Also, the likelihood that your food could come into contact with seafood somehow is much higher at a seafood restaurant. For instance, the oil used to fry things or the cutlery at a restaurant may contain proteins from seafood even if you order a meal that does not contain seafood. It can be exhausting to be constantly on edge when dining out at restaurants because of the threat of seafood contamination. Because of this, it's a good idea to cook more meals at home. Cooking for yourself gives you more control over the ingredients and you can be sure that there is no risk to your health when you sit down to eat. If you don't want to cook, you can always ask your partner or a friend who knows about your condition to cook. They are likely to be very thoughtful and careful when making you a meal.
Summary: Call ahead to a restaurant to tell them about your dietary restrictions. Discuss your allergy with your restaurant servers. Avoid going to seafood restaurants if at all possible. Choose to eat at home when you can.

Problem: Article: To survive, gather food and water and then jump straight to digging. In multiplayer mode, especially with Friendly Fire switched off, players tend to kill other players to get their loot; ammunition and weaponry will be hard to find. You will last a lot longer if you create a good underground bunker. Make sure to block up your entrance to avoid other players from discovering your hide out. Explosives such as Tin Land Mine and Pipe Bomb are good weapons. You can throw pipe bombs at players or zombies, while the tin land mine is a ground-based explosive which can be strategically placed on any flat surface except water. Tin Land Mine: You need 1 Scrap Metal, 1 Gunpowder, and 1 Candy Tin Can. To craft, just place the three materials in the middle of the craft window from top to bottom, scrap metal, Gunpowder and candy tin can, respectively. Pipe Bomb: You only need 1 Plant Fiber, 1 Gunpowder and 1 short Iron Pipe. Short Iron Pipe can be found in air conditioners or can be crafted from Forging Iron. To craft a Pipe Bomb, place the Gunpowder in the very center of the craft window, Plant Fibers above it and the Short Iron Pipe below. If you plan on spending a lot of time underground, you should consider having to openings to your mine. While this can be a little more difficult to defend, it can greatly increase your chance of survival if one entrance is blocked. Use land mines to defend the exit you are least likely to use, and make sure that it is well-disguised.
Summary: Make a digging site ASAP. Make Explosives. Make an entrance and exit.

Problem: Article: Though this type of acid may cause you to have a reaction if your skin is sensitive, it's the best over-the-counter cleaner for whiteheads and blackheads. It treats blackheads by reducing swelling and unclogging blocked pores. Try looking for a foaming cleanser with this product in it. You can also apply it as a cream, gel, or ointment. Because your skin is sensitive, test it on a small area of your face first. If you break out or itch, move on to another product. Salicylic acid may make your skin more dry or irritated, especially when you first start using it. Try using it only in small amounts, and increase the amount you use as your skin adjusts. Use the cleanser once or twice a day. Use your cleanser with salicylic acid to cleanse your face while you're having a break out. Splash water on your face first, then rub the cleanser in. You can use a washcloth if you do it gently but don't scrub too hard. Wash the soap off, and dry your face off. Another natural cure some people have had luck with is a raw honey-cinnamon mixture. Honey and cinnamon both have natural antibacterial properties, so they may help kill off skin bacteria responsible for breakouts. Simply combine equal parts of raw honey and cinnamon powder or a few drops of cinnamon oil. Gently rub it onto your face. Once you've thoroughly rubbed it in, cover it with a light cotton strip or a thick paper towel. Leave it for about 5 minutes before pulling the strip off and rinsing. The honey will help clear bacteria, as well as act as light glue that pulls up blackheads. Cinnamon encourages a healthy glow, as it increases blood flow to your face. This method is a common one to help reduce the appearance of blackheads. Simply pour boiling water into a bowl. Lay a towel over your head and the bowl, so the steam is concentrated on your face for about 10 minutes. The steam will soften up the dirt in the blackheads, so gently wash your face with warm water after you steam it. You can add an antibacterial essential oil to help add punch to the steam cleanser. Lavender, thyme, peppermint, and calendula have antiseptic properties. Though it may seem counter-intuitive since you're trying to avoid clogged pores, moisturizers keep your skin hydrated. The key is to skip ones with oil in them, as that can clog your pores. Look for labels that say "non-comedogenic," "oil-free," or "non-acnegenic."
Summary:
Try salicylic acid. Use a honey-cinnamon cleanser. Try steam. Use a moisturizer.
