If you need to store or ship an extra-large item, you can combine two ordinary cardboard boxes. The two boxes will be stacked on top of each other, so make sure each one is at least half as tall as the item you plan to store. You can use store-bought boxes, or create two templates yourself using the instructions above. Tape the base securely, but leave the top open. Stand each flap on the top of the box upright, to extend the height of the box sides. Tape the flaps so they stay up. Tape the top flaps of the second box in a vertical position, as you did with the first one. Leave the base flaps open for now. Slip the second box upside-down over the first, with the two sets of upright flaps overlapping. Tape or glue the two sets of flaps together.. Now you have one extra-tall box, with the open "base" of the second box serving as the top. Insert your object and packing materials through this hole, then tape the box closed when you are ready

One-sentence summary -- Choose two boxes of equal size. Assemble the first box. Tape the top flaps into a vertical position. Assemble the second box with its base open. Tape the two boxes together. Pack the box. Finished.

Q: Dog body language is complex and can often be misread.There is no universal sign of anxiety or fear to look for because every dog reacts differently. It is not unusual for one fearful dog to act aggressive and another to run away and hide. Both dogs want to be safe, but they process the situation differently. Most of the time, this will be obvious. Your dog is clearly afraid of thunder, a specific person, a loud sound, or a particular space. Put yourself in your dog’s place. You know little of the world, but you see something formidable. How would you react? Have empathy for your friend. Take your dog into another room if a particular person is making it anxious. Close the blinds and turn up the music to mask the sound of thunder or fireworks. If your dog wants to turn tail and hide in its safe space, perhaps its crate, cover it with a light blanket, to help muffle the frightening sound. Again, the method you choose to employ to calm your dog all depends on what it is afraid of.  You can create a safe space for your dog, by opening a door to a room away from the loud sounds or your can crate train it. In the latter case, your dog will come to find its crate to be the most comforting place of all. You want to give your dog something else to focus on — something “positive” and even productive. Does your dog have a favorite toy or chew stick? If so, present your dog with it to distract it from the negative stimuli. Turn a stressful situation into a playful one. Eventually, your dog will associate whatever is causing them stress initially with a fun experience and then later on they won’t be so affected by the negative stimuli (i.e. strangers, thunder, the vet, or other animals). Every dog is different. Every dog enjoys different types of petting. Some like soft gentle strokes, while others like hardy pats and squeezes. One of the most common petting strategies is the gentle sweep of the back. Place the palm of your hand on the top of your dog's head and slowly follow your dog's spine to its hips. Do this repeatedly in order to calm your dog. However, be aware that petting your dog can be misread by the dog as being rewarded for feeling fearful. Counterintuitive as it sounds, petting the dog can inadvertently train him to be fearful in future. Judge the situation, but sometimes it is much better to ignore his fearful behavior which sends the message that there's nothing to worry about. These shirts are worn over the dog’s torso and apply pressure when the dog gets anxious. The dog interprets the pressure like a baby interprets swaddling. It is comforting for some dogs. Many dog owners and animal shelters quietly play classical music to soothe the dogs.
A: Recognize the body language of an anxious dog. Understand the cause of your dog’s behavior. Minimize the source of anxiety. Distract your dog. Pet your dog. Use a Thundershirt. Play classical music to your dog.

Article: Herpes simplex virus is very common and highly contagious. HSV -1 commonly affects the face, and often causes cold sores (painful blisters on the lips). HSV-2 tends to cause painful genital blisters.  HSV-1 can spread through kissing or oral sex, while HSV-2 can spread through skin to skin contact with infected genitals. Be aware that HSV can have a long-dormant period. You may have contracted herpes long ago, but the virus may have stayed dormant in the nerve cells where it resides. Stress and lack of immunity (getting sick) are common triggers for activation of the virus from the dormant phase. Even if you can't remember ever being in contact with someone with HSV-1, consider if you've ever had a cold sore or fever blister. In the "prodrome" or early phase of any disease, symptoms indicate the onset of a condition. For whitlow, these symptoms usually appear 2 to 20 days after initial exposure, and include:  Fever Fatigue Unusual pain Numbness Tingling in the area Once the initial prodrome phase has passed, you will see far more specific symptoms that point clearly to whitlow:  Swelling, redness, and rash, with fluid filled vesicles around the area.  The vesicles may rupture, and a white, clear, or bloody fluid will come out. These vesicles may merge and take on a black/brown color. Ulceration, or a break in the skin, may develop later. Symptoms can resolve from anywhere from 10 days to 3 weeks. Since whitlow is a more of a clinical diagnosis, the medical staff might not order any additional tests. Instead, the doctor will take your symptoms and medical history — including an HSV diagnosis — into consideration to diagnose whitlow. The doctor may also take a tube of your blood to order a complete blood count (CBC) with a differential (a count of your white blood cells). This will let them see if you have enough immune cells to fight infections, or if you have an underlying immune dysfunction that causes reoccurring infections. The doctor may want to test for herpes if you haven't been diagnosed with it. They may analyze your blood for herpes antibodies, order a PCR test (for the detection of herpes DNA), and/or order a viral culture (to see if actual herpes virus is growing from your blood).
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Recall if you've had contact with someone who has herpes. Look for early symptoms. Observe more typical whitlow symptoms in the disease phase. Get a formal medical diagnosis.
