Problem: Article: If you're unsure of your dog's age, have your vet conduct an examination. Your vet can check things like teeth, hair, and eyes to get a rough sense of your dog's age. A vet will be more qualified to determine age based on physical factors than you. If you're really unsure of your dog's age, a blood panel may provide some insight. A vet can take a blood panel to determine the functions of organs like the kidneys and liver. A dog's organs will function differently at different ages.  However, while this can give you a rough sense of your dog's age, your vet may only be able to determine an approximate age range. The only way to know your dog's age for sure is to know their birthday. If you don't know much about your dog's history, then you might want to take them to see a veterinarian and have bloodwork done anyway. A blood panel is a good, general indicator of your dog's health and it can also identify problems before they become serious illnesses. If your dog is older or middle aged, talk to your vet about ways to keep your dog healthy. The risk for age-related diseases rises as a dog gets older, so make sure you provide your dog the healthiest lifestyle possible as it ages.  Your vet may want you to begin brushing your dog's teeth, as teeth decay with age. Your vet can provide you with a toothbrush and toothpaste for your dog. Keep your dog active to control its weight. Daily walks are a great way to control your dog's age.
Summary: Have your vet examine your dog. Get a blood panel done. Talk about keeping your dog young.

Problem: Article: If you have a lot of people in your movie, it might be hard to choose a day when you can all meet. Make a schedule of how much time you are spending in a scene and what people you are needing for it. Only have the actors and crew members come that are in a scene that you are shooting that day. Otherwise, you could record music that you created, upload it onto your computer, and then paste it into your movie, or just search for music/sound on the program you're using.
Summary: Call the people you want in your movie and plan a day when they can all come. Put friends or willing musicians behind the scene if you'd like; it can sound clearer, sharper, and crisper that way.

Problem: Article: Spy software is installed on a smartphone without the user's knowledge. It can then send back GPS location, phone conversations, text messages and more. It is incredibly unlikely that your phone has spy software installed on it by a malicious party, but these steps will help you make sure. Is your phone acting oddly? Is it lighting up when you're not using it, shutting down randomly, or making beeping noises? All phones will act oddly sometimes, but if this behavior is consistent then you may have spy software installed. Many spy programs will increase the drain on your battery. It can be difficult to notice, especially since your phone's battery will naturally become less efficient over time. Look for dramatic shifts in battery life, as these will be more indicative of a program draining it. A lot of times, background noise is a natural by-product of low-quality cellular service, but if you consistently hear static, clicking, and beeping noises during conversations they could potentially be signs of recording software. This is because some call recording software acts like a conference call. Many spy programs are controlled remotely via coded texts. When the program is not functioning properly, these texts may appear in your inbox. If you are receiving texts with random collections of letters and numbers, your phone may be infected with spy software. Many spy programs, especially cheaper ones, will use your service's data plan to send out the information that it collected. Use a data management app to track what apps are using data and how much they are using. If you are sending out data that you cannot account for, you may have spy software installed. If you are using an iPhone, the only way to have spy software installed is if your phone has been jailbroken. Look for the Installer, Cydia, or Icy apps on your Home screens. If you see any of these apps or apps that were installed from sources other than the Apple App Store, then your phone has been jailbroken and spy software may have been installed. You can easily revert a jailbreak by restoring your iPhone. This will remove all apps that rely on the phone being jailbroken, which means all spy programs will be disabled. See this guide for detailed instructions on restoring your iPhone. If you feel like your conversations are being monitored by someone you know, one way to trap them is to deliberately spread misinformation. Call a trusted friend and tell them something believable but false, either about your schedule, your life, or anything else. If you later discover that people you know have come into this information, you'll know that someone was listening in.
Summary: Understand how spy software works. Check your phone's behavior. Monitor your battery. Check for background noise during calls. Look for strange texts. Check your data usage. Check for a jailbreak. Use misdirection.

Problem: Article: For example, if you do not have a lot of currency, buy a weak kit such as chainmail or gold or leather. If you have more currency, you could buy something more powerful such as iron or even diamond. Not all maps have kits, but if yours does, it is better to go in with a kit than with nothing at all. If you play the map multiple times, you will memorize it and know where the good loot is, like studying for a big exam. As soon as the game starts, decide how you want to get your initial loot. A lot of players will attempt to loot the Cornucopia at the start of the round. Decide if you want to risk the crowd and score some loot, or immediately run off and hide.  Don't immediately equip anything good that you find. This will make you a quick target for other players who want what you have. Save your equipment for important fights later. If you decide to head straight for the Cornucopia at the start of the round, grab as much as you can and then immediately run away. The Cornucopia will soon turn into a slaughter, and you probably don't want to be around for that. Most maps have chests scattered around that can provide a lot of helpful items. If you know where these chests are located, make a beeline to them. Not only will this help you get good items, but you can set up an ambush at the chest for other players. Food is essential for staving off hunger, which has a direct effect on your stamina. Try to hoard some food so you can survive while hiding and keep your health up. Although there can be only one survivor, you might last longer if you team up with someone. This can be mutually beneficial and can improve both of your chances at survival. It's much easier to win fights if you're working with someone else.  Make sure your teammate does not have more powerful items than you; this way you can kill them and they cannot kill you easily, but give them a little bit so they do not know what you are planning. At some point, you're going to have to turn against your teammate. Make sure to always keep an eye on the other person, in case he or she decides to strike first. Many times, offers to team up will just be traps. Be very wary when invited to join up with someone else. A good time to sadly kill your teammate is before the deathmatch or if they try to kill you. After killing someone, make sure to take most of everything they were carrying. They may have powerful equipment that can help you out, or they may have healing items that can help prolong your life. Above all else, taking your dead opponent's items keeps those items from falling into another player's hands. If you have lots of materials, you can try to craft some better items. These can give you an edge in battle, but crafting can be dangerous. Make sure that you're in the clear before you start crafting, or you might find yourself dead with your menus still open.
Summary:
If kits are available, use one based on how much currency you have. Know the map. Grab some loot as quick as possible. Find chests hidden throughout the map. Conserve your food. Team up. Pick up your fallen opponent's items. Take some time to craft.
