Q: Right-click the image. Select Image from the menu, then click Scale Image. The Scale Image window will open, and you can adjust the size of the image. Enter a new value for the length or width and the image will adjust accordingly.  GIMP will automatically keep the aspect ratio the same by locking the numbers for length and width together. That means if you change one, the other will change automatically to keep the image from stretching or compressing.  You can disable this by click the chain icon between the two boxes. When you are happy with your settings, click Scale to change the image size. Select a drawing tool, such as Pencil or Airbrush. Click on the image to create a starting point for your line. Hold the Shift key and move your mouse to where you want your end point. You will see a line appear connecting your starting point and your end point. Click to draw the line. Continue holding Shift to add new lines, each one starting where the previous one ended. Press T on your keyboard and click where you would like your text to start. This will open the Text Toolbox. You can begin typing immediately and your text will appear on the image. Use the toolbox to adjust fonts and text effects.
A: Change the size of an image. Draw a straight line. Add text to an image.

Q: It's natural to want to comfort your dog, stroke his head, and speak soothingly to him. You may even be worried if you're both dealing with a stressful event, like an operation at the vet's. Unfortunately, your dog can pick up on your anxiety, making him feel like the situation is out of control, amplifying his anxiety. Don't give your dog treats or respond with hugging or petting. These reward your dog's anxious behavior, which means that he learns to repeat it. Since your dog will be paying close attention to how you respond to stressful situations, signal to him that everything is fine. If you act as if nothing has changed, your dog will have no cause for alarm. If your dog is showing signs of anxiety, like trembling, shaking, or whining, then ignore his behavior. Speak to your dog in a firm but kind voice telling him not to be silly. He'll recognize the disapproval in your tone of voice and understand that you aren't concerned so neither should he be. Your dog may be feeling out of control and fearful. Focus his attention on you and distract him by doing a simple training session, even if it's in the vet's waiting room. Do simple training commands like "Sit", "Down", or "Stay." This tells him you are in control, you are not worried, and that everything is normal.  With his attention elsewhere, the hormones that make him feel anxious subside so he'll relax. Practicing these commands when your dog is anxious can also help you deal with any separation anxiety your dog might have. Create a place that your dog associates with safety and can retreat to. Plan ahead and train your dog to accept a crate as a safe place. At times of exceptional anxiety, cover part of the crate with a blanket to make it even more den-like. Being in a calming environment will stabilize his anxiety levels. Casually place toys in your dog's crate but continue to act normally and avoid eye contact. This way, you won't be reinforcing any fearful behavior. Your dog is anxious because his body produces hormones, like cortisol and adrenaline, in fearful or stressful situations. These prepare his body to fight or flee and create actual physical changes in the heart (making it pump harder), the muscles (supplies them with extra blood), and the lungs (take in more oxygen). These changes mean your dog can become anxious out of habit, so that whenever your dog gets cues that he should be anxious, hormones are released causing the anxiety episode. For example, if your dog sees you reacting to his fear, then his body releases chemicals and hormones to respond to the anxiety. That is why it's important to watch how you react to your dog's anxiety.
A: Avoid reinforcing your dog's anxiety. Act as normally as possible. Show your dog you're still in control. Offer a safe haven or crate. Try to understand your dog's anxiety.

Q: Don’t feel like you have to respond right away. Take a few seconds to collect your thoughts and take a deep breath. If the question is really awkward and strange, you want some time to respond appropriately. It can be awkward if you say something that doesn’t make sense! If you like this person, you should give them the benefit of the doubt that their question wasn’t supposed to make you uncomfortable. Don’t become cold or angry immediately. Smile and indicate that you still like this person and want to work out this awkwardness. If you want to buy even more time, ask your crush for clarification on what they asked you and why they asked. Here are some example questions:  What did you say? What do you mean by that? Why are you asking?
A: Pause. Smile. Ask for clarification.

Q: Selenium is a trace mineral that has an essential role in ensuring good brain health, particularly as an antioxidant. Studies have found that depleted levels of selenium result in poor memory, bad moods, and decreased cognitive function, while increasing selenium improves mood, clarity of thinking, and energy levels. You need to get at least 55 micrograms daily. Try foods such as whole grain bread, tuna, and Brazil nuts. One great source of zinc is pumpkin seeds. Zinc is helpful for improving brain power, and just a 1/4 cup provides almost 20 percent of your daily value. Other good sources include spinach, beef, and kidney beans.  Try eating a small handful of pumpkin seeds as an afternoon snack, or sprinkle them over salad or oatmeal for added texture. Many of the foods already listed here are high in antioxidants, such as berries and leafy greens. However, certain drinks are high in antioxidants, too, including tea and coffee. Green tea is particularly beneficial for the brain. Try drinking a cup of tea or two a day. Antioxidants help block free radicals, which can destroy brain cells over time. Omega 3 is excellent brain food, providing a good source of EPA and DHA fatty acids and helping to protect your brain from deterioration. Not getting enough of these fatty acids in your diet can increase your chances of getting Alzheimer's or dementia. Oily fish (e.g., salmon, sardines, herring, tuna), fish oil, walnuts, and flax seeds (linseed) are all good sources of omega-3.  Try chia seeds, which are loaded with ALA and EHA omega-3. They are easy to sprinkle over everything from cereal to salads, as they are flavorless.
A:
Eat selenium-rich foods. Increase your zinc. Consume foods rich in antioxidants. Improve your omega-3 intake.
