Q: Skin tags in dogs can be confused easily with warts, which are more dangerous because they can grow into malignant tumors. Unlike warts, though, skin tags have a narrow stalk that is attached loosely to the skin. They may be flat or teardrop-shaped and can move or dangle, and they are the same color as the dog's skin. If there is hair around the skin tag, clip it. Clean up any stray hairs that remain after clipping. This will help you ensure that the area is clean. Disinfect the area around the skin tag with 70% isopropyl alcohol or 10% povidone-iodine. Soak a cotton ball with at least 5 milliliters (a spoonful) of either substance, then swipe the tag itself and the area around it. You need the dog to be still so that you can cut carefully. Enlist someone else to help you that the dog likes, so that the person can effectively keep the dog calm. Sterilize a pair of curved mayo scissors if you are going to cut the skin tag. Sterilize a piece of string or floss if you want to tie off the skin tag instead. You can use any shallow plastic pan (or even a lunch box!) for this purpose. Place 250 milliliters of water in the pan, plus 10 milliliters of 10% povidone-iodine. Immerse the scissors in the pan for a full minute to sterilize them. Using curved scissors is important, as they will help ensure that the skin tag's stalk is cut as close to the skin as possible.
A: Identify the skin tag. Clean the area around the skin tag. Disinfect the area. Have someone else hold and calm the dog. Prepare a sterilization pan.

Q: At a bare minimum, you need a bachelor's degree to work as a registered dietitian. Consider a degree in dietetics, food science, nutrition, or another related field such as biology. This can help ensure you not only understand the various aspects of being a dietitian, but may also expedite furthering your education. The coursework should be approved by the Accreditation Counsel for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND). The curriculum will vary between schools, but most cover the following subjects to some degree: Food and Nutrition Sciences Biochemistry Culinary Arts Foodservice Systems Management Business Microbiology Sociology Physiology Psychology If you have a bachelor's degree in a related field, you may want to get a master's degree or PhD to be a dietitian. Irrespective of education, every person who wants to work as dietitian must complete an internship. Your supervised practice must be accredited by the ACEND and meet certain time requirements. You must do at least 1200 hours of internship, which is the equivalent of about six to 12 months. You can do your internship a healthcare facility, community agency, or at a foodservice corporation. If you want to specialize in a specific type of dietetics, such as for obese patients, you may want to consider this for your internship. There are over 250 accredited programs in North America and opportunities through the world. You can find a list of professionals with whom to intern at the website of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Keep in mind that dietetic internships are very competitive and selective. You'll want to be armed with three internships that you'd like and be prepared to write extensive applications/essays/projects for each one. Before you can work as a registered dietitian, you must pass the national exam. The exam is administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) and you may only take it once you have successfully completed an undergraduate degree program and a supervised internship. The program director of your internship will give you details on preparing for the test and application process. You may want to purchase study aids or join a study group to improve your chances of passing. If you fail the exam, you may retest only 45 days after your unsuccessful exam. Dietetics is a wide field and there are many institutions in which you can find a job as a registered dietitian. Finding a job as a Dietitian can be tricky, but there are usually a host of jobs available at any given time. Most dietitians start in the clinical field (hospitals). You may also consider starting your own private practice. Sending out applications to different kinds of places can help you find your dream job. Dietitians can work in a variety of industries including food service management, government, education, research, and the private sector. Look for jobs at universities, hospitals, cafeterias, nursing homes, and schools. You can also work as a private contractor, which will allow you to get experience in a bunch of different areas as well as let you pick and choose when and for whom you work. Consider starting your own private practice once you have some experience. You should build up a client base before taking this step, but it can offer you even more freedom. In order to maintain your certification, you must complete continuing education throughout the time that you are a dietetic practitioner. This can help you stay on top of new research and trends in your field. It is mandatory to complete 75 credit hours of continuing professional education (CPE) every five years in order to maintain your RD status. You can take a wide variety of continuing education courses or participate in workshops that will help you improve on and update your skills and knowledge over time.
A: Obtain a bachelor's degree. Complete an accredited internship. Pass the national examination. Find a job. Maintain your credentials as a Registered Dietitian (RD).

Q: If you're using a wireless connection, you've connected your Xbox to your router, which is the device broadcasting Wi-Fi into your home. It'll be connected to your modem, which is what brings the internet connection into your home. If you know your internet connection is already working with your other devices, this will be most helpful for you. Choose the option to test your Xbox Live connection when prompted and note the number of bars. With 3 or 4, your connection is good enough to not troubleshoot it. One or two bars indicate poor signal strength, and you should continue. Make sure both the router and the Xbox are off the ground, away from walls, and relatively unobstructed. They should be in the same room. For the best connection, place the Xbox and the router next to each other or at least insure there is nothing between the two - draw a line of sight between the two. Be sure there is nothing electronic between the two at any point.
A:
Find your router and Xbox. Navigate to the My Xbox utility and select "System Settings" from the menu. Text your connection. Check the location of your modem or router. Relocate the devices.
