In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are hundreds of different things you can do with any size of budget. If you're low on cash, it's as simple as getting a pencil and piece of paper and learning to draw things. For absolutely no money down and no money ever, you can start going for walks in the countryside or along the river, or even start teaching yourself HTML or CSS. If you're willing to dive into your wallet, try dance classes, an instrument, or find a way to up your adrenaline. By keeping yourself occupied with something you enjoy, not only will you be less bored and therefore a happier person, but it'll make you a more interesting person to be around and could force you to make new friends. What's more, you'll have an awesome skill to talk about and showcase to the world. If you have the internet, you can get an education. Technology is amazing and it leaves room for no excuses. There are large sites like Coursera or Khan Academy that offer you free online courses, and then there are university websites like MIT and Harvard that put up all the content from certain courses online available to everyone. Not only does it keep you busy, but it keeps your mind working while expanding your horizons. Win, win, and win. And it's not like college where you ''have'' to take certain courses. You can browse through their class list and pick out 1 or 2 that would fascinate you. And if you don't keep up? There's no failing grade. Have you ever met someone that dedicates their free time to individuals worse off than they are? Odds are it hasn't been often and if you have, you've been in awe of them. Why can't this person be you? Whether it means volunteering at a hospital, an old folk's home, or just giving dogs at the Humane Society walks, you and the world will be better for it. Doing acts of kindness will help you feel better about yourself and what you have going on for you, too. In addition to that, you'll be surrounded by like-minded, interesting people who also want to better the world. Being a runner is great. Going to the gym on the regular is wonderful. But what if your form of exercise was rock climbing or pole dancing or cross-country backpacking? It's good for your body, your soul, and it makes you pretty cool. What's not to like? This is a great way to get fit and to meet people. Join an adventure organization or a rock climbing team. Not feeling that crazy? How about your local intramural slamball team or a horseback riding club? There are many groups out there that are just for fun and don't require a vast amount of skill. You can even find groups of people looking to try new things on sites like Meetup.com We all tend to put ourselves into little boxes. We think we would like this, we think we should act like that but it really doesn't do us any good. Take a minute to think of something you'd never do and then put your mind to doing it. Would you never go skinny dipping? Do it. Never hold a spider? Do it. Even you can surprise yourself. It doesn't have to be something scary it could even be going to a country music concert if that's something you'd never do,or traveling to a completely new place. It's about getting out of your comfort zone and becoming a more dynamic person. And this way you can know if you ''actually'' like it or not. Challenge yourself to limit your time spent on Facebook, Twitter, and every other site that isn't making your life any better. Think of all the hours you've wasted mindlessly scrolling down a page when you could be crafting something, talking to a family member, or helping out a friend? Being on your computer could be keeping your life from being more interesting and from being a better, more well-rounded person. Don't go cold turkey we all still need our fix. Start just by limiting yourself. Once you've spent 30 minutes or an hour a day on the sites you frequent, cut yourself off. Change to reading a book, or learning that skill you've been trying to cultivate. Just remember social media presents curated versions of people's lives, and can lead to unrealistic expectations and even depression.
Summary: Get a new hobby. Take a course online. Get involved in an organization that you believe in. Get active in non-traditional ways. Do something you'd never dream of doing. Get off your computer.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Artificial grass is a lot less likely to collect bacterial spores than natural grass; however it's still possible, especially if you have pets. If you only need to spray a specific spot, just use a spray bottle. If you suspect the bacteria is more widespread, attach a hose-end sprayer to a garden hose and hose down the whole turf. A hose-end sprayer looks like a plastic bottle with a spray bottle nozzle. It screws into a garden hose and is usually used to spray fertilizer. Use a garden hose to spray water on your grass. This will keep it looking fresh as well as ridding it of small spills and odors. After hosing, use a broom or a rake to brush the grass. This will keep the grass blades pointing upwards, helping your lawn look fresh. Snow and ice won't damage the grass by themselves, but walking on the grass too much can cause snow to turn into a layer of ice. If this does happen, avoid the temptation to remove the ice, as this could damage the grass blades. Instead, you should wait until the snow and ice melt naturally. Avoid using salt to melt snow or ice. The residue can damage the grass' carpet backing and prevent the lawn from draining properly.
Summary: Use a half vinegar, half water solution to kill bacteria. Hose and brush the turf once a week. Avoid treading on artificial grass during winter.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It's possible that you are the cause of a frightened dog's anxiety. But it could also be that the dog is bothered by something in his immediate environment, and your presence is not a factor in his fear. Always assume that you might be the stimulus that is causing a dog to feel frightened or nervous, especially if it is not a pet you are familiar with. If it's a dog you know and encounter regularly, you may observe multiple situations or stimuli that seem to upset the dog. Understanding what triggers this response can help you avoid those triggers, or expose the dog to those triggers in a controlled environment. If you know the dog, scan your surroundings for things that might be upsetting the animal. Things that we take for granted, like a certain sound, a foreign object in the yard or house, or a new and unfamiliar odor, could cause a dog to act fearful or nervous. If the dog belongs to you or someone you know and you suspect that an environmental change is the reason the dog is upset (a vacuum cleaner, for example, or a new piece of furniture), expose the dog to that new element in short, controlled sessions. Allow the dog to become familiar with that object and to recognize, in his own time, that the object is not a threat. Examine the dog for injuries from a safe distance. Do not force close contact. Take note of whether the dog is limping or hiding one side from you, keeping his ears flat against his head, excessively licking an injured area, or whimpering. Approaching carefully, and knowing when to back away, are crucial for a successful interaction with a shy or frightened dog. Remember that if the dog does not know you, he may perceive you as a threat.
Summary:
Determine what is upsetting the dog. Observe what may be frightening the dog. Do not further frighten the dog.
