Rabbits are a prey species, which means when they are stressed they want to hide. Moving home is a big deal for a bunny, and so when you bring them home leave them in the quiet to settle in. This will help it grow accustomed to the new sights, sounds, and smells of their new home without the added challenge of strange people staring at them. Take it slowly. Spend as long as time allows each day sitting beside the hutch talking to the rabbit. If the rabbit is already tame, then open the hutch door and stroke along the rabbit's back. Avoid hovering your hand over the rabbit's head as this is what a predator would do. If the rabbit doesn't run away when you gently pet it, then sit on the ground and gently lift rabbit out and onto your lap. Sitting on the ground is less frightening to bunny, because they are ground dwelling and being high in the air is unnerving for them.  To pick up your rabbit, place a hand on its chest and another on its bottom, and carefully lift it so that its side is parallel to your chest, and it is sitting on one of your arms while the other forms a barrier so it can't fall off. Then place it on your lap. If the rabbit is not used to being picked up and runs away, do not forcibly remove the rabbit. Instead, take your time and tempt the rabbit out with an extra tasty treat. Once the rabbit gets used to your voice, and realises you are no threat, it will eventually go for the treat. Once bunny is regularly staying out to receive the treat, you can start to stroke their back. Once they accept this, at that stage you can try to pick bunny up. Remember, rabbits are prey animals. Unlike dogs or cats, their mothers do not carry them, so the only situation in the wild in which they would be picked up would be when a predator was carrying them. Some rabbits just don't like being picked up, so if your rabbit won't let you pick it up, leave it be. Grooming your rabbit is another great way to bond. Use a comb and a soft brush, and once bunny is happy being stroked, use the brush to groom it. This is another good way to teach rabbit your company is a good thing, and perhaps try this first if the rabbit is still skittish about being picked up.

Cheer on your favorite sports team at the top of your lungs, or go to a loud concert and try to have a conversation with your friend.  Use a loud voice for a long time and you will likely hear the effects the next day.  You may need to continue speaking at a high volume for several hours to achieve a hoarse voice.  Your voice will return to normal in a day or two.  It heals more quickly with the use of throat spray, lozenges and hydrating with 64 ounces of water per day. When you sing, your vocal chords vibrate.  The higher the pitch the more rapid the vibrations.  Too much of these vibrations can cause irritation to the vocal folds, which will fail to come completely together, leaving your voice raspy.  You will need to sing beyond your vocal range to achieve this goal. Sing a note as high as your voice can reach, then push it further with as much breath as you can muster. Continue this for several hours. Whispering can be more stressful on the voice than speaking normally.  When you whisper, you squeeze the vocal chords together more tightly and cause strain on your voice. Crying for an extended period of time will take its toll on your voice.  This is especially the case with children or infants who have been crying all night.  Their voice will likely be hoarse by the morning.

There are not established legal requirements for being a surrogate, but most agencies have their own guidelines. In general, a woman must be between 21 and 45 years old, be in good physical health, have a stable family life, and have had a previous pregnancy that did not result in any complications in order to be considered a good candidate. Before you become pregnant, you should see your doctor to make sure that you are healthy enough. Your doctor may perform a physical exam, perform blood tests, and ask you about your personal and family history.  If you have any chronic medical conditions or history that cause you to develop complications during pregnancy, your doctor will talk to you about the risks involved and what you can do to reduce them. If you are on birth control, be sure to ask your doctor how long you need to stop the medication before you try to become pregnant. You may need to get vaccinated for certain diseases that could be dangerous to an unborn child, including chickenpox and rubella. You should also consider getting tested for sexually transmitted diseases, such as HIV and chlamydia. These diseases can be harmful to an unborn baby, and may also result in pregnancy complications or fertility issues. If you are working with a surrogacy agency, these tests will likely be required. The intended parents may also be required to undergo certain screenings, including tests for diseases that may be transmitted to you or to the child during pregnancy, as well as psychological and genetic screenings. If you are using a surrogacy agency, you will be required to undergo a psychological evaluation to ensure that you do not have any underlying desire to keep the child. Even if you aren't required to talk to someone about these issues, it is a good idea to do so for your own emotional well-being. It is very important that you understand how difficult it might be for you to part with a child that you carried for nine months. Surrogacy is a controversial issue because some people do not believe that a surrogate mother can truly give informed consent to give the baby up before it is born. In order to provide the most benefit to the unborn child, you should start taking prenatal vitamins that contain folic acid before you start trying to get pregnant. Folic acid is most important to a fetus during the first few weeks of development, so if you wait until you know you are pregnant to start taking the supplements, you may have already missed the most crucial window.

Place the gooseberries into a bowl. Cover them with 17.64 ounces (500 grams) of sugar, then gently toss to combine. Place a tight-fitting lid over the bowl, or cover it with a sheet of plastic wrap. Let the bowl sit undisturbed overnight in the fridge, then stir the sugar and gooseberries the following morning. Over time, the gooseberries will release juice into the sugar and turn it into syrup. They are ready once they sink to the bottom of the bowl. This will take 1 to 2 days. Remember to store the bowl in the fridge. Scoop the gooseberries out of the bowl with a slotted spoon. Let the excess syrup drip back into the bowl, then place the gooseberries into a plate or tray. Spread them out evenly so they don't touch or clump. You are ready for the next step when the candy i dry and no moisture is left. This will typically take 3 to 4 days.
