Summarize the following:
Jewelers typically need at least a high school diploma or the equivalent to get started in the industry. Universities and trade schools require it, and it’s a plus on an application for an entry-level job at a jewelry store. A career as a jeweler doesn’t require an advanced degree, but many design and trade schools offer degree programs that range in length from 6 months to one year. Pursuing a degree can give you a well-rounded and general knowledge of jewelry-making or help you choose a specialization, such as design or metallurgy.   In a jeweler degree program, you'll learn how to make and repair jewelry, set stones of different sizes, and work with new technologies for more precise cutting.  Search for jeweler degree programs online. Most offer applications that can be filled out and sent in online. There are programs across the country and the world, in countries including Italy, the Netherlands, and New Zealand. Many successful jewelers describe themselves as self-taught, learning their craft by experimenting with making jewelry and getting a job in the industry. Some jewelers get their start after earning a degree in another field and growing a jewelry business as a side hobby. If an advanced degree in jewelry-making isn’t for you, start making pieces on your own time and experiment to see what works. Make sure you know how to safely use jewelry-making tools before you start creating your own pieces.

summary: Earn a high school diploma or GED. Pursue an advanced degree in jewelry-making. Teach yourself the basics of jewelry-making.

Russian dwarf hamsters eat like other hamsters. Hamster food comes in pelleted form or as seed mixes. Your dwarf hamster should eat either one tablespoon of pellets or one to two teaspoons of seed mix per day.  Pellets are very healthy and give your dwarf hamster something to chew on. Chewing on pellets helps your hamster keep his teeth filed down.  Be careful with feeding a seed mix to your dwarf hamster — he may pick out and eat only the tastiest seeds in the mix, causing him to miss out on important nutrients.  Seed mixes tend to be high in fat.  A good quality commercial hamster food should contain at least 15 to 20% protein. Read the ingredient label to see how much protein is in the food. Your dwarf hamster needs to eat more than just pellets and seed mixes. He should also eat some fresh vegetables that add variety and vitamins to his diet. Wash the vegetables thoroughly to remove pesticides. Give him fresh vegetables daily and make sure you remove the old ones so they don't molder in the cage.  Leafy greens (spinach, Romaine lettuce) are great additions to your dwarf hamster’s diet. Other vegetables to feed your dwarf hamster include broccoli, cauliflower, and cucumbers.  Add vegetables to your hamster’s diet very slowly — one small piece of vegetable once or twice a week. This will prevent him from getting diarrhea.  Work up to feeding one small piece of a vegetable once a day. Protein is an important component of your dwarf hamster’s balanced diet. Good protein sources include boiled chicken or turkey, hardboiled egg whites, and canned and drained tuna.  Vegetarian protein sources include tofu, flaxseed, and roasted soybeans.  Add extra protein to your dwarf hamster’s diet once a week.  Whichever protein source you choose, feed it to your dwarf hamster in one small piece at a time. Whole grains (whole wheat toast, cooked rice, cooked pasta, unsweetened cereal) make great, healthy snacks for your dwarf hamster. Make sure the cooked rice or pasta is completely cooled down before feeding it to him.  Crunchy toast and cereal would be good for your dwarf hamster to chew on. As with the other foods, feed the grains in small bits to your dwarf hamster. Treats are another good way to add variety to what your dwarf hamster eats every day. Commercial hamster treats are available at your local pet store. Your pet store may carry “yogurt drops” for hamsters. These are very fattening, however, so your hamster should not eat them very often. Russian dwarf hamsters are prone to developing diabetes, so high-sugar foods, such as fruits, should be avoided. Other high-sugar foods to avoid include corn, white bread, and white rice. Some foods—raisins, potatoes, onions, garlic, sprouts—are toxic to dwarf hamsters and should be avoided. Your Russian dwarf hamster will need constant access to fresh water. Place a water bottle with a stem and ball bearing in your hamster’s cage, and replace the water every day. Attach the bottle to a side of his cage at a height where he can easily reach the stem with his mouth. Do not put the water in a bowl. Your hamster would eventually turn his cage into a watery mess by drinking water from a bowl.

summary: Select a commercial food for your dwarf hamster. Add fresh vegetables to your dwarf hamster’s diet. Include a protein source in your dwarf hamster’s diet. Feed your dwarf hamster grains. Incorporate treats into your dwarf hamster’s diet. Avoid feeding your dwarf hamster certain foods. Provide your dwarf hamster with fresh water.


Summarize the following:
You might be tempted to bury the bad emotions that this incident brings up. Feelings like betrayal, guilt, sadness, and fear of losing your relationship can be hard to face. Avoid the urge to suppress these feelings. You need to allow yourself to feel each emotion, and express those emotions to the guy who hurt you.  If you are choosing to forgive him, you need to get these emotions out of the way so that you can move forward with the relationship. If you choose not to forgive him, you need closure from these feelings to move on happily to the next phase of your life. Even if you decide to forgive the guy, you may need some space to process how you feel about the situation. Ask for this space and make it clear that you need to sort things out before moving forward. If the guy is serious about being forgiven, he will understand and give you the space you need.  Do not use this as a way to keep a guy waiting on you so that you can get even. Make it clear that you need space to sort out your feelings and thoughts. Say something like, “I am really confused right now, and I need some space to decide what I should do next.” Once you have a good grasp on your feelings, you need to discuss them with the guy that hurt you. Tell him that you need to talk, and that you will have questions that need answered. If he is serious about making things right, he will agree to talk to you and answer your questions.  For example, if you feel betrayed, you should come out and say something like “I am afraid that if I forgive you, I will not be able to trust you again.” Make sure to use “I” statements to convey your feelings. Even if he is at fault for what happened, you are discussing your feelings. Ask all of the questions you need answered in one conversation. Do not bring them up over and over. Also, avoid any inappropriate questions (e.g. “Did she kiss better than me?”). It will take time to regain your trust and security, whether you forgive this guy or move on. Holding on to hurt and anger will only slow the healing process and make you more unhappy. Make a conscious effort to identify your emotions and cope with them.  Avoid doing things to “get even” with the guy that hurt you. This kind of behavior is sure to lead to regrets. If you are struggling to cope with your hurt or anger, you may need to consult a mental health professional.
summary: Face your feelings after the incident. Take the space you need. Talk to the guy about your feelings. Let go of any hurt or anger.
