Problem: Article: The main symptom of ear plaque in horses is white or pale grey growths in the ear. They may appear crusty or flaky. It may be in small bumps or in large patches. The whitish patches are often slightly raised. Aural plaques are often described as looking like small cauliflower. If your horse has ear plaque, the skin underneath the white, crusty patch will be shiny and pink or red. This will look different than what the inside of your horse’s ear usually looks like. Horses who have ear plaque may act shy, skittish, or irritated if their ears are touched. Aural plaques can cause ear sensitivity that leads to horses not liking having anything done to their ears or heads. This may cause the horse not to want to be bridled or have a halter put on.  Some horses may display head shaking due to ear plaque.  Some horses won’t be bothered by the ear plaques and their ears will not be sensitive. Ear plaque is common in horses. Some horses are more prone to it than others, and some horses may not get it at all. Ear plaque is commonly spread by bites from flies. Aural plaque is believed to be caused by a wart virus similar to one that causes warts in young horses.
Summary: Check for a white substance in the ear. Look at the skin underneath the white substance. Notice any ear or head shyness. Figure out if your horse’s ears have been bitten by flies.

Problem: Article: If you prefer to be hired on by a company, some great practice in the meantime is to develop your own app. It doesn't really matter what it is as long as it is useful or fun. Then, when you are searching for a job, you have something to prove your work. Having experience in the field, even if it's just developing your own app, can put you ahead of other candidates. Of course, a large number of apps are games. Games help people pass the time. However, any place you see a need could be a starting point for an app. So the first step is to determine where there's a need. Look at your own life and friends' lives, and consider what problems you or they have that an app could help solve. Once you've got an idea, start mapping out your app.  For instance, apps such as DocScan and Scannable were developed because people needed a way to scan and store documents away from computers. The people who developed the app saw a need and filled it. Other apps, such as recipe apps, make it easier for people to find and use recipes because it's easier to use a recipe off a tablet or phone than off of a computer. First and foremost, an app needs to be easy to use by the customer. Therefore, the main page should lead the person through the app with clear buttons, contrasting colors, and easy navigation.  One trick is to make sure you're using as much of the screen as you can. That doesn't mean you should cover every available inch with controls because you need negative space around the tools to make it readable. You have to balance using as much space as you can with making your buttons as large as you can. Partially, that means you need to keep your controls and buttons as simple as you can.  Make it easy to understand. That is, your user shouldn't need to reference other pages to figure out how to use your app. They should be able to figure it out just from the controls. While you may have the coding skills, you may not have the design skills you need. If you need help in a particular area, consider hiring people on or collaborating with people who agree to take a portion of the profits as payment. Just be sure to give credit where credit is due whenever you are presenting the app. If you're not sure where to hire help, you can check freelancing sites such as UpWork, where you can hire people in different fields. New apps always have bugs, so play-test your app. Have your friends test it, too, to see where the bugs are so that you can fix them. It also teaches you what works and what doesn't work in an app.  In other words, have your friends download the app on your phone. Let them play through it to see if they notice glitches. It's also important to get feedback on how the app and controls work. Ask your friends questions such as "Did you have trouble working the controls?" and "What problems do you see with the app?" Once you learn how to build an app on one platform, it's time to convert it to other platforms. You are missing out on customers if you don't offer the app on platforms that all customers use.  With each platform, you must think about different problems. For instance, when moving from iOS to Android, you have to consider screen size difference. In iOS, the number of screen sizes is more limited, while Android has a much wider variety, and your app is going to look a little differently on each one.  Another key point is to keep it simple. The more complicated it is, the harder it will be to convert and to have it look nice on different screens. Another way to gain experience, even while you're in school, is to apply for internships. You can often find internships through your school, as companies will approach schools to find people to be interns. You may even make some money to pay for school or get school credit for the internship.  Internships are great experience, but don't expect to be coding right away. You'll likely be doing at least some menial tasks while working at an internship. Many of the major tech companies will offer internships to local college students, so check their websites, as well.
Summary: Develop your own app. Come up with an idea for an app. Focus on usability. Hire the help you need. Don't forget to test it for bugs. Convert to other platforms. Apply for internships.

Problem: Article: The police need to find the bomb, so get its location. Obtain as much detail as possible:  building floor room location in room Say, “Can you tell me when it will go off?” The police will need this information also. Write down whatever the caller tells you. Get some details about the bomb, which the police will find useful. Ask the following questions:  “What does the bomb look like?” “What’s the bomb made out of?” Ask the caller, “Why did you place the bomb here?” If they say they didn’t place it, then you can note that information as well. Many bomb threats are called into religious institutions, such as places of worship or community centers. Be prepared for the caller to use derogatory language. Nevertheless, write down exactly what the caller says. “Can you tell me your name?” The caller might give this information, or they might not. It can’t hurt to ask. Write down whatever they tell you. They might give you a made-up name, like “Avenger of the Night.” The caller might withhold helpful information, or they may talk all over you and not let you ask a question. Continue to ask questions anyway. A good technique is to mirror what the caller has just said and then follow up quickly with a question.  For example, you can say, “I definitely hear that you’ve put a bomb in the school. Can you tell me why?” If the caller refuses to answer, ask again.
Summary:
Ask where the bomb is placed. Ask when the bomb will go off. Ask what kind of bomb it is. Check why the bomb was placed. Ask their name. Be persistent.
