Article: Nail clippers for cats look like scissors at first glance but have a specially curved edge to accommodate feline claws. Buy them in any pet supply store. Because Persians are large cats, you might have to buy slightly larger clippers. Ask a staff member for assistance.  Never use scissors or anything with a straight blade. This can be extremely uncomfortable, if not painful.  Keep styptic powder on hand, just in case you accidentally clip the nail too short or if it starts bleeding. Opt for a time when your cat is calm and relaxed. Right after a meal or before a nap is usually a good choice. Make sure the room is quiet without any distractions, such as a view of the bird feeder. If you share your home with other animals, close the door so that they can't enter. Hold your cat's paw in your hand. Do this slowly and gently. Start massaging it for one to three seconds. If your cat pulls away, don't fight them. Keep a gentle hold of the paw while allowing your cat to guide the motion. After they calm down, massage toe and give it a gentle squeeze. You will see a claw emerge. Give your cat a treat for their cooperation. Practice this on a different toe every other day until your cat gets used to it.  Get your cat used to the sound of clippers by practicing on an uncooked piece of pasta. Sit near your cat, put the noodle in the clippers, and trim it. Let your cat sniff the clippers if they want. Get to the point where you can massage and gently squeeze the toe while you clip the pasta. Always reward your cat with a treat after each practice session. Only clip the white part of the nail. The pink area is the quick, which contains blood vessels and nerves. Always stay away from this part of the claw. If you clip it, you can cause your cat a great deal of pain and put them at risk for an infection. If you accidentally cut the quick, apply styptic powder to a moistened cotton ball and hold it against the wound for 5 to 10 seconds. Buy it in any pet supply store. Massage each toe until the claw emerges. Clip only the white part of the claw. If your cat seems unfazed, proceed to the next claw. Don't forget the treat after each clipping session! If the cat struggles, try asking another person to hold the cat while you clip their nails. This is especially helpful if your cat isn't used to having their nails clipped. Schedule clippings based on your cat's preferences. You could clip the front paws one day and the back paws the next. Alternatively, you could focus on a different paw each day.

Problem: Article: A phrase of 3 to 5 notes from a song everyone knows adds some life and humor to your improvisation. Because it's a memorized lick, throwing one in also gives you some time to think of what you're going to play next. To really mix it up, try using a lick from a song in another genre. For example, you might throw in a good classic rock lick into a country song. You may notice mistakes you make while you're playing, but you have to concentrate on listening to hear what really sounds great together and what doesn't sound so hot. Listen actively and take notes when something strikes you, either good or bad.  Once you've listened to your recording a couple of times, you may want to play around with different phrases that you didn't think worked as well. Try to improvise again using the same chord progression or backing track with your notes in mind and see what changes the second time around.
Summary: Mix in licks from other famous songs. Record yourself and listen back.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you do not have a canner, you can make your own. Find a pot or saucepan that is large enough to hold the jars. There should also be room for an inch of water above the jars. Place a washcloth or towel at the bottom of the pot before you put the jars in. This will keep the jars from directly touching the metal of the pot. Canning time varies according to the type of canner you have and the altitude of your location. Be sure to check your canner's instructions.  If you are using a boiling water canner, these guidelines should help. For 0–1,000 feet (0.0–304.8 m) above sea level, cook for 10 minutes. For 1,001–3,000 feet (305.1–914.4 m), cook for 15 minutes. For 3,001–6,000 feet (914.7–1,828.8 m), cook for 20 minutes. If you are above 6,000 feet (1,828.8 m), cook for 25 minutes. If you are using a dial gauge pressure canner or a weighted gauge pressure canner, you will need about 8 minutes.  Clarify with the instruction manual of your canner.
Summary: Place jars in a canner, leaving 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) of water above the jars. Calculate the canning time.

To annualize your income, you need a sample of the income you earn over a year. You can get this from paystubs, paid invoices, or even your bank statement.  If your income is extremely regular, you may not need more than a month of income to complete an annualization. If you receive income from multiple sources, make sure you have information for all sources you want to include. It's easiest to annualize income using months. Add up your income from all sources to get your total income for that period of time. Make a note of how many months of income you used to get that total. For example, suppose you have 3 monthly paychecks of $7,000, $6,500, and $6,800. Your total would be $20,300 of income over a 3-month period. To annualize your income, use the ratio of the number of months in a year (12) over the number of months in the period you used to get your total. When you divide, your result will always be a number greater than 1. For example, if you totaled your income over 3 months, your ratio would be 12/3 = 4. Once you've divided the ratio, multiple the total income you found for the period by that number. The result will be the estimated amount of income you earn in a year. For example, if your total income over a 3-month period was $20,300, your annualized income would be $20,300 x 4 = $81,200.
