Q: Hold the closed Bible with one hand. Rest the spine on a table or counter. Throughout the entire process, you'll need to use one hand to hold the upright, closed portion of the Bible in place. You'll need to use your other hand to open and crease each section. Keep the pages closed while carefully releasing the front and back covers. Gently ease the covers open until they lie flat on the table. Instead of letting the covers drop quickly, it would be better to slowly open and lay them down using your free hand. Carefully open the first 50 to 100 pages of the Bible. Lay them out flat, then slowly run your fingers up and down the gutter of the top page, pressing into the binding as you move. This action gently stretches the stitching of the Bible binding, making the pages of the book more flexible, easier to turn, and easier to handle. As a result, the pages of the book are less likely to loosen or fall out when being handled. Open the back 50 to 100 pages of the Bible and let them lay flat on table. Gently yet firmly run your fingers up and down the gutter here, as well.  This back section should be just as thick as the front section was. By alternating between the front and back of the book, you can make sure that the stitches are stretched evenly in both directions. Continue opening and creasing sections of the Bible using the same technique. Alternate back and forth between front sections and back sections, repeating as often as necessary until the Bible is completely and evenly split open. Once the entire book lies open on the table, the “breaking in” process is complete.
A: Place the spine on a hard surface. Let the covers fall open. Crease open a section of pages at the front. Crease open a section at the back. Repeat through the remaining pages.

Q: with care. Take out about 25% of the water from the fish’s bag or bucket. Replace that water with water from your aquarium. Put in another 1 cup (240 mL) of aquarium water every 10 minutes for 1 hour. Once that is done, you can transfer the fish to your tank. Whether you caught the fish in the wild or bought it from a store, you need to take the time to introduce it to your tank appropriately so it doesn’t go into shock. All gamefish will eat earthworms, prawns, whitebait, cockle, shrimp, algae, and other small creatures. Because fresh food can get expensive, try feeding them a mix of fresh, frozen, and pellet food. Feed them once a day, and give them as much food as they can eat within a 15 to 20 minute period. Try to always feed them at the same time so they can learn when to expect their food. Many hatcheries and pet stores sell gamefish feed. It can be really difficult to tell the gender of a fish. If you’re buying the fish from a store or hatchery, the person selling the fish should be able to tell you, but if you need to determine the gender on your own, there are a few tips you can follow:  Check the vent of the fish, which is the opening between the anal fin and the fish’s anus. A circular vent generally indicates a male, whereas a female’s vent is more oval in shape. Female fish are generally much larger than male fish. When in doubt, ask a hatchery expert to determine if your fish is male or female. Gamefish, especially ones caught in the wild, are used to cohabiting with other types of fish, which means you should be able to keep a variety of species in your aquarium. But because your aquarium is smaller than their natural habitat, some fish can become territorial. Because of this, take your time when introducing new species to your tank. Add one new fish at a time, even if you already have that species in the tank, and give them a period of 3 to 4 weeks to adjust before introducing other fish. This will also give you an opportunity to make sure everyone gets along and has enough space.  If fish become aggressive with one another, you can let them fight for a little to see if the dominant fish can exert itself and the submissive fish will hopefully back down. You could also try rearranging the habitat to make different territories for the fish. Also, consider providing multiple hiding spots for attacked fish to use to take refuge. As a last resort, you may need to move one of the fish out of your aquarium or create a blocked-off area in your current aquarium using netting and put the aggressive fish into it for a week before trying to reintegrate it. Don’t hesitate to check out various gamefish forums to learn more about other people’s experiences—you can learn a lot from others’ successes and failures. Be on the lookout for tail rot, split fins, scrapes, missing scales or eyes, or torn lips—these are signs of injury. Fish that float more than they swim, that sink to the bottom of the tank, or that start hiding more than is usual might be sick. Also, if a fish stops eating, this usually indicates that it is sick or injured. If a fish is injured and needs to heal, use netting to create a cordoned section of the tank, and then let the injured fish live there for 1 to 2 weeks until it is better. If a fish is sick, you can get medication for them from the store.  Always check that your tank’s filter is running properly and that all the equipment is in good working order. Sometimes sick fish can get better after a water change or small tank adjustment. Sickness can spread quickly in a tank, so it’s important to catch illnesses as early as possible.
A: Acclimate the new fish to your tank Plan and execute a careful diet to keep your gamefish healthy. Separate male and female fish to prevent overpopulation. Introduce new fish one at a time to let them acclimate to each other. Watch out for signs of illness or injury.

Q: You don't need to rush in the morning just because you spent half an hour picking out your outfit! Go for something between casual and original. But remember you are making first impressions so what you wear kind of dictates a part of your personality, so don't go far outside your comfort zone. Expectations are overrated. You just got out of elementary school, no need to wear makeup or do anything fancy with your hair. If you're not comfortable with it, don't do it! All these middle school girls you see in magazines have makeup on solely for the advertisements. Going your first day with no makeup is quite the bold move itself, as it shows you have confidence in yourself and that you don't need makeup to attract attention! This will wake you up and make you smell fresh and feel great. (Remember some nice deodorant to top it off.) You do not need to haul your whole home with you. All you really need for your first day really is a few snacks, a pencil or two and the basic supplies. Bringing extra pencils and snacks may be helpful, but not necessary. The higher grades don't bite! If you're feeling daring enough, go and try to make some friends who are older than you, as they have gone through your grade and may be able to give you some pointers. Mingle with some other stranger that may be hanging around too. If you can't find a loner to make friends with, go take a look at a map of the school and try to get the know the place, after all, you're going to be spending a few years here.
A:
Pick out your outfit the night before. Avoid feeling that you have to wear makeup. Take a shower in the morning. Take only what you need. Seek help from people already in middle school. Make some friends while you're waiting for school to open.
