INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Pull the drawstring down and away from the blind with your hand so the blades go up and lock into place. Once the blades are all the way up, let go of the drawstring. Standard brackets have a piece that clips into place over the front-facing side of the blind. Starting with one of the brackets, wedge the tip of the screwdriver between the clipped piece and the blind. Then, pull the screwdriver away from the blind to release the clipped piece and open up the bracket. Repeat on the other bracket. Grab a hold of the blind with both of your hands and gently pull it toward you. Now that the brackets are lifted up, the blind should easily slide out and away from the window. Once the blind is off, set it aside. Press the reverse switch on your drill so the drill bit will spin counterclockwise. Then, position the drill bit in one of the screws attaching the brackets to the window and press and hold the on switch. Once you’ve unscrewed the screw and bracket, place them in a small plastic bag so you don’t lose them. Repeat with the screw on the other bracket. Hold the brackets with your free hand as you're drilling so they don't fall once the screws are out.

SUMMARY: Use the drawstring to lift the blind blades all the way up. Use a screwdriver to lift up the bracket on each side of the blind. Slide the blind out of the open brackets. Unscrew the brackets from the window using a drill with a Phillips drill bit.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Making eye contact is a sign of attraction, as is blinking more than the average 6-10 times per minute. Winking can also be a sign of flirting or attraction. However, keep in mind that this may be culturally-specific; some Asian cultures frown upon winking and consider it rude. Smiling is one of the clearest signs of attraction. Make sure you know how to decipher a forced smile from a real one. You can tell fake smiles from real ones because the smile doesn't reach all the way to their eyes. Genuine smiles usually result in tiny crinkles around a person's eyes (crow's feet). When people fake smile, you won't see the wrinkles. Raising the eyebrows has also been observed as a sign of flirting. Generally people who are attracted to each other try to close the distance to one another. This may mean leaning forward towards the other person more but can also be more direct, in the form of touching. A light tap or stroking of the arm can be a signal of attraction.  Attraction can also be signaled by the person's feet staying pointed toward or facing the object of his interest.  Palms turned up is another sign of romantic interest because it suggests openness. Men and women can show differences in demonstrating attraction via their body language.  A man is likely to lead forward and turn his torso toward the person of his interest, whereas a woman reciprocating attraction turns her torso away and leans back.  An interested man may lift his hands above his head, angled at 90 degrees.  When a woman shows attraction, both arms may be open, and the hands may touch the body in the area between the hips and the chin.

SUMMARY: Evaluate eye contact. Watch for certain facial expressions. Consider the person's posture, gestures, and stance. Be aware of gender differences in showing attraction.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Whether you are making a homemade trap or purchasing one, make sure that you are using one that is humane. You don't want to risk injuring the kitten that you are working so hard to rescue. (You also want to make sure not to injure yourself--no one wants to get their finger caught in a trap). One of the best ways to safely trap a kitten is to use food to bait the kitten into the trap. Canned fish is an effective and inexpensive food item that you could try.  A humane trap is one that will not injure or kill the kitten. If you are going to purchase a trap, ask a local vet for suggestions on which brand to buy. Try shopping at your local pet store or hardware store. If you plan to make a trap, make sure you research ones that will neither harm nor kill the kitten. Use a trap door that will close gently but quickly and firmly after the kitten enters the trap. Ask for tips about materials at your neighborhood hardware store. Don't try to trap the kitten the first time you stop it. Instead, prepare your trap, and spend a few days placing food in there--while leaving the door of the cage open. That way, the kitten will begin to head into the trap willingly after it begins to associate it with food. Above all, you want to be as kind as possible to the kitten. Remember, it doesn't have much experience with humans. Being caught is going to be a pretty traumatic experience. Be as quiet, calm, and gentle when you are near the kitten. Catching a kitten can be a frustrating experience. You will need to be patient, not only with the kitten but with yourself. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to carry out your plan. Remember, it's best to learn some information about the kitten (age, the status of the mom) so that alone is going to take some time. After doing that, try taking a break before you start the actual trapping process. The more relaxed and confident you are, the more smoothly the whole process will go. If you are nervous about using a trap, don't worry, you have some other options. You can try gently "herding" a kitten into a confined space. Use the same method you would use if you were trying to tempt the kitten into a trap--food. Once you have the kitten corralled in a confined space (think a corner where it doesn't have an easy escape route), you can gently guide the kitten into a small pet carrier. Make sure to have a carrier (or even a box with a lid) handy before you try this method. It is possible that you won't have to lure or trap the kitten. If you can invest enough time and patience in the process, you might be able to befriend the animal enough that you can easily transport it home with you. In order to gain the kitten's trust, be a reliable force in its life. Feed it regularly, and at the same time for several days. Be calm and gentle in its presence. After enough time has passed (this could be days or weeks), the kitten might gradually come to accept your presence without fear.

SUMMARY:
Use a trap. Be compassionate. Take a break. Lure the kitten into a confined space. Earn the kitten's trust.
