Problem: Article: In the United States, this is called the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) Standard of Perfection. This book describes every recognized breed and what it should look like. Having the standards for every recognized breed will allow you to figure out what breeds you like best and what they should look like.  Having the standard will also help prevent you from getting a rabbit that will not do well on the show tables. Breed standard books are typically available on the websites of breed appreciation groups, such as the American Rabbit Breeders Association. Many of the small-sized breeds are typically easy to handle for beginners. They also use less cage space and eat less food than the bigger breeds, so they are cheaper to care for and are a good choice to start with. Some of the dwarf and smaller-sized breeds with easy temperaments include:  Dutch Mini Rex Holland Lop Polish Lionhead Do not get a more challenging breed, such as Netherland Dwarf, Britannia Petite, or any of the running breeds, unless you are experienced at showing rabbits or you are located near a competent breeder who can help you. These rabbits require skills to handle, breed, and pose. Overall, they can simply be more challenging to the beginner despite their smaller size. If you really want to show dwarf rabbits, get some skills with small-sized rabbits first. Once you have some experience, you will then be able to care for and show dwarf breeds more successfully.
Summary: Buy a breed standard book. Select the breed best suited for your level of expertise and accommodations. Avoid certain dwarf and full-arch breeds if you are just starting out.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you want a thicker phone case, use two pieces of felt instead. They can be the same color or contrasting colors. Place your phone on top of the first piece of felt. Trace around it using a ½-inch (1-centimeter) border. Cut the felt out, then use it as a template for the other piece(s). Make sure that all of the edges and corners are aligned. If you are making a lined case, with two different colors of felt, choose one color to be on the inside, and the other color to be on the outside. You only need to pin the bottom and two side edges; leave the top edge open. Try to pin the felt as tightly around your phone as you can. The fit will be snug at first, but it will eventually loosen up. Use the pins as a guide as you sew. Your seam allowance will vary, depending on the thickness of your phone. You can do this on a sewing machine or by hand.  If you are doing this by hand, consider using embroidery floss in a contrasting color. If you are doing this on a sewing machine, backstitch at the start and end of your sewing. Try to cut as close as you can to the stitching, about ⅛-inch (0.3 centimeters). For a more unique look, use pinking shears instead.

SUMMARY: Cut a piece of felt in half widthwise. Cut the pieces ½ inch (1 centimeter) larger than your phone. Place your phone between the two pieces of felt. Pin the pieces of felt around your phone. Remove your phone and sew along the pinned edges. Trim down your seam allowances.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Bullies tend to pick on kids without confidence. If you can build self-confidence, you can help prevent being bullied in the future.  Try a power pose. Some research has shown that just acting confident can build confidence. Generally, a power pose involves making yourself larger, more spread out. For instance, putting your hands on your hips and spreading your legs apart is a power pose. Don't forget to hold your head high! Try holding a pose that makes you feel stronger for 2 minutes.  Master new skills. Another way to help build your confidence is to take on new skills. As you become better at the skill, it can boost your confidence.  Exercise or play sport. Exercising can make you feel strong and confident. You should be getting exercise anyway, so it's a win-win. Martial arts may be a good choice, in case you need to defend yourself. Communication skills are the ways you interact with other kids and teachers. Basically, it's how you present yourself to the world. If you have basic communication skills, people see you as more assertive. Assertive means being self-assured and able to speak up for yourself. The more assertive you are, the less likely you are to get bullied.  Being assertive means being able to talk to others to express what you want without being mean. For instance, instead of saying, "Why do you give me all the bad jobs?"  you could say, "Would it be possible for me to clean the dry erase boards next week?"  Communicating well means you offer leading ideas, ask questions nicely, and offer support when possible. For instance, when a friend does a good job, you say, "You were awesome! Great job!" Empathy means you feel what others are feeling. To be empathetic, you have to listen to what others are going through and try to understand their pain. While it can be hard to encourage empathy, bullying is less likely to happen when kids are empathetic to each other.  Pay attention. The first step towards being empathetic is to notice other people. Watch other kids' faces to see how they are feeling. You can usually tell if someone is upset if you're looking at them. They may frown, have watery eyes, or turn red in the face.  Talk to the other person. If you see someone looking down, ask how he or she is doing. You could say, "Hey, what's wrong? You don't look so good." Listen to his or her response. Even if you don't feel what the other person is feeling, it's important to express sympathy for what the person is going through. That just means you respond to what he or she told you in a nice way. For instance, if the person said, "I'm having a bad day. My dog is sick." You could say, "Oh, that's awful. I'd hate that if it were my dog. You must be really sad." Being bullied can make you want to lash out. You may be tempted to threaten someone who bullies you. However, that just turns you into a bully, and you're perpetuating the problem.  In addition, it can make the bully want to fight back harder, which only hurts you.  Also, if you do try to retaliate, you could find yourself taking part of the blame, even though the bully struck first.
Summary:
Build self-confidence. Develop communication skills. Encourage empathy. Skip retaliation.
