...will be able to construct one that will work for you. Take some "chicken wire" and form a tube about 16 inches in diameter. You can make it square, if you want, but a tube is easier. Using wire or such, you will need to sew the seam of the tube. Also sew one end shut in such a way that you can open fairly easy. Then cut a "mouth" out of a square of the chicken wire. You will need to form a cone that fits into the other end of the "tube". The smaller end points into the tube. The smaller end should be small enough to allow fish to swim through but not big enough to let them swim back out. This kind of trap needs to have bait put inside to attract the fish. If you can find a small creek that fish usually swim up, place the trap with the mouth facing downstream and block access of the rest of the creek so that all fish will have to swim into the trap. [pic] You can make the trap out of anything. The Indians used to make them out of sticks. The fish can be left in the trap if there are too many for you to eat at one time. This way you could have fresh fish anytime that you needed them. You can leave them in the trap for a week or so. Much longer than that and the fish would starve. Bait: Using bait makes finding fish easier. If you are near a stream, river, or lake, you can keep a "supply" of fish nearby by baiting them. You can place a trap at the bait or fish with hook and line. In running water place the bait in a certain place by weighting it down so it wont drift off. The...

She attempted very little, but rather regarded the whole thing as a sort of mental conglomeration, and looked on with a kind of amused curiosity to see what they would make of...

She ended up in Washington D.C. at the U.S patent office as a clerk. Though this was a safe place to work, she still had a strong calling to help people more than a clerk could do (Clara 2018)....

...One real world problems I have encountered would be the day my husband and I got fired from our jobs in the same week. This incident happened about two years ago when the economy was starting to go down and the recession was just a reflection on what was to come. I had just started working as a call center agent for Kaiser Permanente working the graveyard shift; this had been the first job I had taken with those hours. In order to work permanently for Kaiser Permanente there is a probation period of four months, during these four months an employee cannot call in sick without a doctor’s note, cannot be late to a shift more than twice, and cannot call in to be absent. One day I had a really bad migraine and ear ache and decided to call in sick. The next day when I went back to work I had forgotten to get a doctor’s note to take to work and my supervisor had advice me to get one the following day or my job could be in jeopardy. The week went by and I had forgotten about the note, when my probation evaluation was up that incident came up and the department supervisor decided I had to be terminated. About three days earlier my husband was also terminated from his job due to our childcare issues. Now that it happened and time has passed to reflect on what went wrong I believe a way to solve this problem in a persuasive thinking manner would have been for myself to go to work that day and speak with my supervisor and explain to him that I knew the rules of calling in sick during the...
