Summarize the following:
A clicker is a small plastic "box" with a retractable metal tongue, which can be used as an aid in behavior training. A trainer holds the clicker in the palm of her hand and rapidly presses the button, causing a clicking sound, and the dog becomes conditioned to hearing a clicker every time he does something good. Training clickers can be purchased at many pet stores and online. The clicker should only be used when your dog is behaving the way you want him to, and it should be activated immediately, in response to his good behavior. You want your dog to associate his good behavior (in this case, not chasing the cat) with the sound of your clicker. The final component in clicker training is giving your dog a treat immediately after the click. Response time is imperative, as your dog needs to associate his good behavior with the clicking sound, and the clicking sound with a treat. As you progress in your training, you may want to gradually incorporate an added challenge wherein you mimic the cat's movement. This will help your dog more easily adjust to the real scenarios that may arise as your dog and cat adjust to one another.  While he is paying attention to you, begin to suddenly move backwards at a rapid pace.  Stop suddenly. If your dog stops and sits rather than chasing you, use the clicker and give him a reward. He won't learn a new way to behave overnight. But with time, your dog will learn to complete part of the task you're trying to teach (in this case, not chasing after cats). It's important to reward even partial progress, or steps, towards meeting that goal, because in order to break your dog's instinctual behavior you are, essentially, breaking down the components of that behavior. Any time your dog starts to chase the cat but stops, use the clicker and give him a reward. Eventually he should be able to break the habit of chasing cats altogether.

summary: Buy a training clicker. Introduce your dog to the clicker. Immediately give him a treat. Mimic the cat's movement. Celebrate your dog's progress.

Ginger supplements and tea can help with your heartburn. Ginger is an anti-inflammatory and a soothing agent for your stomach. Look for ginger supplements to take. You can also drink ginger tea. To make ginger tea, grate or cut 1 teaspoon (2 g) of fresh ginger and add it to 8  fl oz (240 mL) of boiling water. Let the ginger steep for about five minutes, and then let it cool.  Drink ginger tea at any point during the day. You can also drink it about 20 to 30 minutes before meals to help prevent heartburn. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can buy ginger tea bags. Ginger can also help with nausea and vomiting, which are symptoms of severe heartburn. Ginger tea is safe for pregnant women. You can take a fennel supplement each day to help your heartburn. You can also make fennel seed tea to help with the heartburn. Drink 2-3 cups a day about 20 minutes before your meals.  To make the tea, crush about a teaspoon of fennel seeds and add it to one cup of boiled water. You can add honey to help with the taste. Mustard seed is an anti-inflammatory agent as well as an acid neutralizer. You can take it as a supplement, a powder, or as prepared mustard. Take the supplement to help reduce your heartburn. You can also drink mustard seed tea to help with it as well.  To make mustard tea, either dissolve a teaspoon of mustard powder or prepared mustard in boiled water to make tea. If you have the stomach for it, you can also eat one teaspoon of prepared mustard by mouth. Chamomile can help calm your stomach and acts as an anti-inflammatory agent. You can take this as a supplement daily to ease heartburn. You can also drink chamomile tea to help calm your stomach if you have heartburn. To make this tea, you can use loose leaf chamomile tea or buy premade bags of tea. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice root (DGL) helps heal your stomach and control your heartburn. DGL comes in chewable tablets that are safe to take every four to six hours. These chewable tablets have a strange, unappealing taste, but they are effective for heartburn.  You can take two to three tablets per dose. If you can't take the taste of the tablets, try drinking licorice tea with honey and lemon. Slippery elm coats and soothes irritated tissues in your stomach. It is available as a supplement in tablet and liquid form that can help with your heartburn. Look on the label to see how much to take of each form of the supplement and never take more than recommended. Small amounts of slippery elm are typically considered safe during pregnancy, though large amounts may lead to miscarriage. Aloe vera acts to neutralize the stomach acid and helps decrease inflammation. To help ease heartburn, drink ½ cup of organic aloe vera juice. You can drink this all at one time or sip this throughout the day. Since aloe vera can act as a laxative, you may want to limit how much aloe vera juice you drink to 1-2 cups a day. Although drinking an acidic substance may seem strange, it works with your stomach acid to treat heartburn. Mix one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to eight ounces of water. Drink this when you have heartburn.  Don't use any other vinegar than apple cider. These do not work as well as to help the heartburn. The additional pectin from apples acts as a natural antacid. You can also eat more apples to increase your pectin intake to reduce stomach acid. Herbal tinctures are herbal mixture suspended in alcohol or glycerite. These, sometimes called bitters, can be used to help reduce heartburn and improve digestion. Try common brands of tinctures, including Nature Works Swedish Bitters, Flora’s Swedish Bitters and Herb Pharm Digestive Bitters. Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions for these tinctures.

summary: Try ginger to relieve inflammation and digestive issues. Take fennel seed to settle your stomach and reduce stomach acid. Use mustard seed to help reduce inflammation and neutralize acid. Try chamomile to relieve an upset stomach. Take licorice root for heartburn relief. Take slippery elm to relieve upset stomach. Drink aloe vera to reduce your stomach acid. Try apple cider vinegar to help with heartburn. Try herbal tinctures as an alternative to pills.


Summarize the following:
In a game of truth or dare, people sometimes joke about what they are daring you to do. Making sure they are serious about the dare could help you avoid embarrassment. Replying with a brief laugh and simply saying, “Are you serious?” is enough to double check. If they say no then you can always tell them you want to take the dare anyway. Ask yourself if you are comfortable kissing someone or not. Remember that it’s okay to say no to a dare. If you feel uncomfortable kissing the person, then don’t do it. It’s better to say no than to do something you don’t want to do. Since kissing involves two people, you need to make sure it’s okay with the person you were dared to kiss. They may not feel comfortable with it, even if you want to do it. Asking permission is called “gaining consent.” In situations like this, it is the right choice. Kissing someone without asking them first can actually be considered sexual assault.By asking their permission, you make the situation safe for both of you.
summary: Ask the person who dared you if they are serious about it. Decide if you want to accept the dare. Ask the person if you can kiss them.
