Problem: Article: These notches will be used to string the bow. They only need to be deep enough to hold the string in place. Be sure not to cut all the way into the outside of the bow. Tie loops to both ends of a length of nylon. The bowstring should be 5 to 6 inches (12.7 to 15.2 cm) from the handhold when the bow is complete.  Bend the bow and loop the nylon onto each notch. Do not pull back on the string yet, the bow is not complete and could break. Rest the bow on the center handhold, with the string  perpendicular to the ground. Use a tree branch or a piece of scrap wood to hang the bow from. Check and see how the bow bends. Ideally, both sides will bend the same, at the same angle.  Make adjustments by removing wood from the inside of the bow where it is not bending enough Continue to make adjustments and pull the string back a bit more each time. Do this until you reach the draw length. Your draw length is the distance from the string at rest to your upper chin. This is how far back you would pull to shoot.
Summary: Cut a notch on each side of each tip. Prepare the string. Hang the bow horizontally on from an elevated position. Pull the bowstring a few inches.

Problem: Article: Regardless of the length of the marriage or who initiated the divorce, you will experience a sense of loss. Let the pain and the sadness have their way in the first weeks after a separation happens. Your heartbreak is real, and acknowledging your feelings will bring you relief. When you feel a wave of sorrow coming up, stop what you're doing and greet it. You will deal with loss in your own unique way — give yourself permission to grieve.  You may experience a physical response to the loss, such as shortness of breath, headaches, nausea, loss of appetite, insomnia and fatigue.  Emotional responses to loss may include denial, numbness, sadness, anger, anxiety, guilt, relief, hopelessness, confusion, helplessness, longing, or being distracted or preoccupied. Find appropriate outlets to deal with these emotions. Writing in a journal, going for a long walk, painting, and exercising are all ways you might be able to express your feelings and find relief. Anyone you spend a lot of time around becomes linked to your biorhythm. You may experience cravings similar to those of an addict, and feel actual pain. You may also have trouble eating, sleeping, and exercising like you used to. Take care of this by setting new routines for yourself.  Remind yourself to eat at least three meals a day, with snacks in between. Make sure you are getting adequate sleep. Aim for seven to nine hours each night. Reinforce your old exercise routine, or start a new one. Avoid turning to drugs and alcohol to cope with the pain. Though it may be appealing to lose yourself in mind-altering substances, you can end up feeling more depressed or numb and unable to work through your feelings. The decision to divorce can be very stressful, not to mention the sometimes long, difficult process that follows. This is guaranteed to be a stressful time, and it is important you find healthy ways to reduce your stress as much as possible. Try meditation, spending more time with supportive friends, or removing items that remind you of your partner. Consider joining a support group. Divorce is common, and it may help to talk with other people going through it, too. It probably hurts to think about what went wrong and how it went down, but thinking it through will help you process your emotions and regain your sense of self. Write in your diary, talk to yourself, and open up to others as soon as you can.  The more you open up, the more likely you will find yourself again. Open up to loved ones. Talk about what happened and how you are feeling to your nearest and dearest. Vent a little, and admit any feelings of ambiguity or regret you are feeling. Consult a therapist to help you readjust and embrace your new life. Your therapist will help you understand what happened and what is still happening to you. If your sorrow is long lasting, intense, and interfering with your ordinary life, you may be experiencing complicated grief. Get a referral from your doctor to see a therapist immediately.
Summary: Take time to grieve. Take care of your body. Reduce your stress. Think through the separation. Get outside help.

Problem: Article: To become more literate and in touch with the world, read the paper. Subscribe to a quality newspaper and make a daily practice of reading the news. Learn about national and international news, and track current events. Consider subscribing to multiple papers for a less biased approach—no single news source can ever tell the whole story.  If you're interested in reading long investigations or analysis, or increasing your knowledge of a specific topic (like the economy, or contemporary art), consider subscribing to a relevant journal. Subscribing isn't enough—if you're really interested in learning through periodicals, make a regular habit of reading. You might read the paper every morning, or read your magazines every weekend. Purchase or borrow books on the subjects that interest you. Ask a librarian or small bookstore owner for help, or get recommendations from online book reviews. To learn as you relax, make your screen time informative. Watch documentary series on PBS or the BBC. Check out documentaries on questions of historical interest. Take notes as you go, or just do some follow up reading the next day. Even if you're trying to learn a skill, you can use documentaries to get informed about the history and practice of that skill. If you're learning the banjo, you might want to watch documentaries on bluegrass, old time music, and African instruments. Learn more about the world by going into it. Take trips to other countries, or just visit the nearby towns you've never seen. Travel to environments you haven't experienced, and learn what it's like to live there. Read and watch movies about the places you're going before you go, and read more while you're there: you'll come up with questions you didn't know you had once you're in a new place.  When you visit a new place, try visiting museums devoted to local arts, crafts, and history. Take tours of interesting neighborhoods and buildings. Visit gardens and wildlife sanctuaries, and learn about the local biome.
Summary: Read the news. Watch documentaries. Travel.

Problem: Article: Males are known for being much noisier than female budgies. They will chirp or sing and the songs can be quite long. While female budgies make sounds too, they usually sound angry and less musical. However females can be just as cheerful just as males may be grouchy.  Keep in mind that behavior should not be solely taken into consideration when determining sex. Both sexes can display the same behavior. Male budgies frequently bob their heads up and down or tap their beaks against their cage. They'll appear playful and outgoing. Female budgies may seem more aggressive if they're in the mood to breed, subdued, or if they're fertile. You may notice a male budgie tap against a female and regurgitate food to her. Don't worry. This is normal bonding behavior and will occur between same-sex pairs, too. When you buy your budgie from the breeder or dealer, ask the budgie's sex, though be aware not all breeders are informed, especially if colony breeding. You can also purchase inexpensive DNA kits that also reveal the budgie's sex. Don't forget that you can ask your veterinarian to determine the sex of the budgie. This will be easier if the vet is familiar with treating birds.
Summary:
Listen to your budgie. Watch your budgie's behavior. Ask someone knowledgeable.
