Q: Being willing to love, and be loved, can be an uneasy experience sometimes because you may be afraid of getting hurt, or making the wrong move. Take your mind away from the "what if" and focus on being caring, loving, and respectful of your partner in the present. Make sure that you don't feel pressured by your partner to commit to a relationship that you're not sure about. Be honest about what your motivations are for being with that person. Often times, being open to love is about being happy with yourself. If you are not happy with who you are, or what's going on in your life, it will be hard to find and receive love. One way to know if you love someone is to imagine you're in a long-term relationship with him. Do you see yourself with your partner in a year from now? Five years from now? Or even longer? If not, you may want to see if this relationship is simply based on physical desire, or a way to feel less lonely. During the first few months of dating you may not be sure if you see yourself long-term with someone. It's okay. Love often grows over time. Be aware of how you feel as the months of dating progress. If you feel less interested in someone over time, don't force yourself to say "I love you" or be in love with someone just because. It's okay to say what you feel, just understand that your partner is not you, and may not respond exactly the way you do. Be vulnerable, and say how you feel about the person. It can be tough, but ultimately communication is key to a lasting relationship. Think about if you have meaningful conversations that show your true self to your partner. Love is about talking about who you really are, including your hopes, dreams, and worries. Be honest. If you've been a relationship for a while, consider conversations that focus on positive feelings, rather than negative. Remind your partner what makes her special by talking about how you feel.
A: Open yourself up to a deeper relationship. Imagine being with your partner long-term. Talk about your feelings.

Q: Male victims of domestic violence don't just happen in gay relationships. Men can also be physically abused by women and suffer all of the signs of physical abuse and the accompanying abusive patterns. This often occurs in relationships where the men, for one reason or another, are in a financially inferior position to that of their female partners. Men who suffer from domestic violence and physical abuse often feel much more embarrassed of having endured the abuse. They might not be as likely to come forward because of social pressures. You may feel that you need to maintain a macho reputation, for example. You may be afraid of appearing weak, especially if your partner is a woman who is dominating and controlling the relationship. Men have been conditioned to not hit women, so they are less likely to fight back to protect themselves. If they do, they have the added worry of their partner claiming domestic violence against her. Since women are most often the victims of domestic violence, her case may be believed over the man's case. Men may be less likely to call for help, even if the woman had a weapon and is willing to use it. The woman may threaten that she will injure herself in order to claim domestic abuse. She may also use an injury caused by the man protecting himself in this way. Then, she may tell the police that the man was the abuser and get him arrested instead. Abused men have an added stigma and often have no recourse when they are abused by women. They are often not believed, nor are people as sympathetic towards their predicament, which leads to further isolation and stigmatization.
A: Recognize domestic violence against men. Assess if you feel social pressures about admitting abuse. Determine if you feel you can't protect yourself.

Q: A common sign of rabies is hypersalivation increase production of saliva. This is important, as saliva is the main vector for transmission of the rabies virus. Watch for: Dribbles of saliva from the mouth. Foaming of the mouth. Excessive licking around the mouth, in a seemingly erratic pattern. Paralysis is the inability of an animal to move or properly use parts of its body. In conjunction with behavioral and other physical signs, paralysis is an important sign of rabies in animals. Paralysis often manifests in the head or throat. Paralysis may occur in the arms, legs, or elsewhere in the body. Paralysis may begin around the site of infection and gradually move throughout the animal's entire body. Seizures are one of the most common signs of rabies. Coupled with other symptoms, they are highly indicative of a serious case of rabies. Thus, seizures are an easily identifiable symptom that can give you a good idea if an animal is infected. Seizures are: Characterized by shaking, rapid contraction of muscles, and irregular breathing. Often the first sign before paralysis. Present in about half the cases of paralytic rabies. Not always present in rabies-infected animals.
A: Look for excessive salivation. Watch for signs of paralysis. See if the animal has seizures.

Q: He should then take the card and look at it, memorizing what it is. Tell him he should keep an eye on his card at all times. When it's in his hands, when it's in your hands his eyes should always be on it. While he does this, turn the deck over and flip over the top card so that it appears as if the deck hasn't been tampered with. So, say you're holding the deck with the backs facing you. You then turn it over so the faces are facing you, flip over the top card so it's the back again, and get away with it looking like the backs are still facing you. Tell him to think very carefully about where to place the card. He doesn't want to mess it up, does he? Alternatively, if you're pretty good, you can clasp the deck in your hands (so your friend can't see what side of the deck is showing), take up the top card, and ask him if that's his card. Then you say, "Just kidding!" and return it to the deck facing the right direction. You know what this means, right? When the card is returned facing the right direction, all of a sudden the only card in the deck that's not facing the right direction is your friend's chosen card. Scan through until you find his card (flipped over) and he'll be amazed. Make a show of it. You could tap the deck, say a magic word, have your friend blow on the deck, whatever. Do something that allows the magic to occur. Once the process has been completed, slowly fan through the deck, letting the suspense build and build until your awesomeness comes to light.
A:
Have your friend select a card from the deck. Ask him to show it to someone else watching. Hold the deck out and ask him to slide the card anywhere back into the deck. Put the deck behind your back, turn back over the top card and flip the deck around. Tap the deck with your middle finger and finger through the deck while looking at the back of the cards.
