Q: As soon as you get to the event, do a quick walk around the room to see who is there. Look for familiar faces, as well as people you haven’t met. Take note of important people you want to meet, and see who they are speaking with. If it is a smaller room, you can probably scan it without walking around the room. One of the easiest places to strike up a conversation is around food or drinks. Get to morning networking events early, so you can share a coffee with someone around the breakfast table. If it is an evening event, strike up a conversation with someone near the hors d’oeuvres or at the bar.  If you are trying to meet someone special, you might have a better chance of spotting them near the buffet.  Avoid drinking and eating at the same time, since you won’t have a free hand to introduce yourself. Don’t drink excessively, since it is harder to network effectively under the influence of alcohol. Typically, pairs of people already know one another but actually want to meet new people. Also, by approaching pairs of people, you increase the chances of making an important connection. Show your interest in their conversation and then introduce yourself. When you introduce yourself, make a connection to the topic of the conversation you have just joined.  If the pair is whispering or otherwise talking in a secretive tone, you should choose someone else to speak with. If they are talking about sailing, you could say, “I was actually out on the water for the race last week. That was quite a storm on Wednesday night!” You could also try approaching groups of three. If you see someone who looks a little bit shy, go and introduce yourself! They will be really happy that you made the effort, and will remember you for it. Also, you may end up making an important connection. However, make sure you don’t talk to just one person the entire night. Since the whole point of networking is to make new connections, avoid getting stuck in one conversation for the whole event. You might want to make a goal for yourself, such as meeting three or four new people at an hour long event. When you feel ready to end the conversation, excuse yourself politely and find someone else to speak with.  For instance, you could say, “Listen, I really enjoyed our conversation. Thanks so much for introducing me to your work. As much as I would love to keep talking, I really should go meet some new people. Let’s talk again soon!” Don’t spend all your time with friends and co-workers. Your goal is to make new connections, so tell your friends ahead of time if you think they will be offended. Ask friends to introduce you to people if they have good connections.
A: Scope out the room. Go to the food or drinks table. Approach pairs of people. Introduce yourself to someone standing alone. Keep moving around the room.

Q: Sadly, as feline heart disease progresses the signs and symptoms become more severe. One late-stage symptom of heart disease is fainting. The cat may have fainting episodes when the circulation cannot maintain blood supply to the brain. Another sign of advanced heart failure is fluid building up in the belly as a result of fluid changes in the cat's blood vessels, which can allow fluids to leak into the body. The belly may swell and fill like a water balloon. Another very serious sign of heart failure is hind limb paralysis. In the advanced stages of heart failure, blood clots develop. A common place for blood clots in cats is the point where the main artery to the back legs divides in two. The clot blocks the circulation to the back legs, leaving them paralyzed.
A: Take note of any fainting. Look or feel for fluid in the belly. Know that hind-leg paralysis is a possibility.

Q: Prada only uses high-quality gold and silver for its hardware. They will never mix colors on a bag so check that all of the hardware including zippers, clasps, and feet are all one color. Different colors or finishes mean the bag is fake. On a real Prada bag, the zipper should work easily. There won’t be any snags, catches, or broken zipper pieces. An exception is if you’re buying a used bag where the zipper might have been damaged by the owner. Ask if this is the case. These are the only brands that Prada uses for its bags. Find the brand embossed on the back of the zipper. ” On Prada bags, every piece of hardware has the brand name engraved on it. This includes the zippers, buckles, metal feet at the bottom, locks, and any other decorative pieces.  If any of the hardware is blank, it’s not a real bag. On the zipper of a real bag, the Prada engraving will be on the front side while the zipper brand will be on the back. Not all real Prada bags have metal feet on the bottom of the purse or special accents like locks. Check the Prada catalog online to see if your model is supposed to.
A: Compare all of the hardware to make sure it’s either all gold or all silver. Open and close the zipper to see if it runs smoothly. Read the zipper brand to see if it’s Lampo, Ykk, Riri, Opti, or Ipi. See if all of the hardware says “Prada.

Q: Especially if your camp is more than one day, not every camper may come each day. Make sure you keep a list of exactly who shows up for camp each day. This way the parent in charge knows how many kids to account for, feed, etc. In addition to knowing who will attend camp each day, the adult in charge should also keep a list of emergency contact numbers for each camper, as well as a list of any relevant allergies or dietary restrictions. Campers will work up big thirsts and appetites. Make sure to bring plenty of snacks and water, especially if any of the events are away from home, such as a nature walk. There is bound to be plenty of downtime between activities, while driving, while waiting for food, etc. Keep cards, boardgames, coloring books, and other toys on hand to keep the campers entertained while the adult host transitions between events. One of the great things about camp is also the spontaneity of some of the activities. Don’t worry about adhering to the schedule at the possible cost of other fun. Let the campers get creative and even improvise some of their own fun in the moment. Camp traditions are what set many different summer camps apart. Over the day (or several days) of camp, have the campers come up with a camp name, a song, a mascot, and any traditions they want to uphold. It will make the experience that much more fun. One of your activities on the first day can even be to have campers make a sign for the camp on a poster or another creative surface. If your camp will last several days, then make sure each camper goes home at night with a reminder list for what they will need to bring the next day. You should also try to provide a general list reminding campers to bring sun screen, swimwear, towels, baseball gloves, or any other relevant necessities based on the theme of your camp. Most of all, pay attention to the campers. Try to keep everyone at camp involved, engaged, and having fun. If this means changing plans at the last minute in the name of fun, go for it. Ultimately the summer camp is for the campers, so get their feedback and don’t be afraid to try new things!
A:
Keep an attendance sheet. Have contact information available. Provide plenty of snacks and water. Keep games on hand. Forget the schedule when the occasion calls for it. Establish traditions. Remind campers what they’ll need. Have fun!
