Problem: Article: It is best to meet the cat in an open space, so they don't feel cornered by you. Don't move towards the cat, particularly not in a way that would make it feel trapped, for example if it is in an enclosed cat carrier. While it can be tempting to approach the cat, try to let the cat make the first move. You may notice that the more you ignore the cat, the more curious they are about you. Once the cat shows some interest by approaching you, get lower to the ground so you are not hovering over the cat. Try sitting cross-legged on the ground, so you are physically less intimidating. Cats are small creatures; the smaller you can make yourself, the better. If the cat approaches you, try to let the cat become acquainted with your smell. Extend your open palm so the cat can smell you and become familiar with you. If the cat shrinks at your hand, you can try extending something you're wearing, such as your glasses. If the cat seems curious and receptive to your hand, attempt to scratch their chin or cheeks. These areas contain scent glands that release calming pheromones when rubbed. Most cats also enjoy being petted on these parts of the body. If the cat begins to purr or rub on your leg, that is a positive sign. Don't try to pick up the cat or place them in your lap. Avoid petting the cat at the base of the tail or on the belly right away.
Summary: Let the cat approach you first. Get down on the cat's level physically. Present an open hand or extend something you're wearing. Try to pat the cat's chin or cheeks.

Problem: Article: A fraction is always written with one number on top of a line and another number underneath that line. The numerator of a fraction is the top number. It is the "part" of the "whole" that you are talking about. For example, in the fraction , 1 is the numerator. The fraction indicates one part of a whole that has four parts. The denominator is the bottom number of the fraction and represents the "whole". It is the number of parts the whole is divided into. To remember the denominator think "down"-ominator. For example, in the fraction , 4 is the denominator. This whole has been divided into four equal parts. A fraction is considered improper if the numerator (the top number) is larger than the denominator (the bottom number). When working with fractions, you never want to write a final solution as an improper fraction. Always remember to simplify it into a mixed or whole number. Some examples of improper fractions: 10/3, 9/4, 15/3, 25/5. into mixed or whole numbers. Some fractions can simply be divided into a whole number, while others will not divide evenly. Numbers that don't divide evenly must be rewritten as a mixed number. To simplify an improper fraction, first divide the numerator by the denominator. For example, for the fraction 10/3, divide 10 by 3. 3 goes into 10 three times (3 x 3 = 9), but there will be a remainder of 1. Write the remainder as a fraction of the original denominator. With a remainder of 1 the fraction of the mixed number will be 1/3. The mixed number of 10/3 is 31/3. Note, not all improper fractions will be mixed numbers; some will simplify into whole numbers. For example: 25/5 simplifies to 5. You might be surprised to find that you use fractions on a pretty regular basis throughout your day. You may know fractions by a different name, decimals. Do you ever trade or share food with your friends at lunch? Maybe you trade half of your chips for half a dessert. These are fractions! Do you ever help your parents with baking? Measuring cups use fractions. A recipe may call for teaspoon of vanilla or 2/3 of a cup of flour. Pay attention throughout your day and see how many times you use fractions without even realizing it.
Summary: Identify the numerator. Identify the denominator. Recognize an improper fraction. Simplify improper fractions Identify the use of fractions in your daily life.

Problem: Article: Eventually you will need to stop issuing treats for the behavior. Do this gradually by offering treats only every other time he performs the "shake" command. Substitute praise or other rewards, such as a walk or playtime, in place of treats. Keep practicing until you are positive he will "shake" without a treat. You can try offering an empty hand, with no treat, when first starting this step. Once you feel that your dog has mastered the "shake" command, try introducing challenges for it. Wait for a situation that usually bothers your dog, such as a visit to a busy place or someone coming to the door, and issue the command. The more situations you practice in, the better your dog will be able to perform this command. Follow the same order of training as you did with the first hand. The main difference will be that you hold the treat in your opposite hand and only reward when your dog shakes with the desired paw. Try using a different command word. If you used "Shake", try using "Paw" for the opposite hand.
Summary: Start removing treats. Make it more challenging. Try shaking with the other hand.

Problem: Article: After the initial feeling of pain, itching, tingling, numbness, or sensitivity, look for a red rash to develop on that area of your skin. This usually occurs a few days after the initial discomfort. Some people get the feeling of burning or pain and never develop the shingles rash. The shingles rash forms blisters (or vesicles), which are small painful swellings in the skin filled with fluid. Shingles blisters generally appear in a group in a single area on the body. Do not touch or scratch your blisters the fluid in the blisters contains the virus, and you can spread infection to other areas of your body. Keep your blisters covered and wash your hands often to minimize the risk of spreading the virus. Shingles blisters usually crust over and form scabs 7-10 days after they appear. These should clear up in about 2-4 weeks, and the scabs should fall off. Do not pull these off yourself, let it occur naturally.
Summary:
Look for redness. Identify blisters. Watch the blisters for scabbing.
