How to Cope with Nicotine Withdrawal

by @ How to of the Day

Fri Mar 23 01:00:00 PDT 2018

If you have been a smoker for a while, you may experience nicotine withdrawal symptoms—intense cravings, headaches, anger, trouble sleeping, and even anxiety or depression—when you attempt to quit. These undesirable side effects of quitting may tempt you to pick the habit back up. But, if you seek support, come up with a plan to deal with triggers, and practice good self-care, the symptoms will eventually subside. Hold out and give it time— you'll get through withdrawal and be smoke-free sooner than you think!

How to Train an Abused Dog

by @ How to of the Day

Tue Mar 27 01:00:00 PDT 2018

Dogs who’ve suffered abuse may be withdrawn, depressed, inactive, and distrustful. While not all fearful and shy dogs have been abused, abuse can make the dog hesitant and nervous around humans. While it takes time to help a pup overcome its past, abused dogs can become loving pets if the right person comes into their life. If you’ve rescued an abused dog, then you’ll likely want to train it. Before you can train your dog, you need to take care of the dog’s health and safety so that it can learn to trust you. Then you will be able to housebreak your dog, teach it basic commands, and help it overcome its past.

Examine each document individually, and look for formal, formatting, and stylistic quirks. Determine if samples share any of these subtle characteristics, and form a conclusion about the documents’ authorship based on your findings.

Cleaning high windows can be tricky, especially if they are above a sloped area or in a hard to reach spot. High windows also tend to get very dirty, especially if they have not been wiped or washed in awhile.
