In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Try to have your food and drinks ready by the time your first guests arrive (no later than the stated time that the party will start, which is generally when the earliest guests may show up). Having your food and drink ready to serve ahead of time means that you'll have something to offer when the very first guests show up (which can be an awkward time, since it's just you and them). It also means that you won't have to rush to finish any last-minute food or drink preparations once guests begin to arrive in earnest, which frees you up to welcome people, start conversations, and be a great host! Once your guests start to arrive, they'll usually start to talk to each other naturally and you won't have to supervise them to make sure that everyone has a good time. However, if things seem awkward or the party is getting a little "slow", it can be a great idea to start some glow party games to help get things rolling. For instance, basic kid's games like tag, hide-and-seek, and charades can take strange new terms in glowing, blacked-out garages. You may also want to try a few racy ice breakers like truth or dare, spin the bottle, or "Never Have I Ever" — it's all up to you. Once enough guests have arrived that most of the guests are talking to each other without your help, you'll probably want to start your music. The volume you'll want to play it at will vary depending on the sort of party you're throwing. For instance, if your glow party is more of a casual get-together than a serious dance party, you may want to keep it somewhat subdued so that it can serve as background music. On the other hand, if you're trying to get people out on the dance floor, crank it! Unless you've got a designated DJ, you'll probably want to keep your playlist on shuffle. Having the music stop after every song while you try to pick a new one can make things awkward for your dancers. If your party is packed with guests (and especially if there's dancing), you'll want to make sure that your guests know how and where to get some fresh air. The cramped, sweaty confines of a crowded house party are the last place someone wants to be after an hour of dancing, so make sure your guests have access to a porch, patio, or other outside area to gather and cool off as needed. For big, active parties with lots of dancing, hydration is a must. Make sure that your guests have easy access to clean, clear water in addition to whatever other refreshments you're offering and encourage them to drink after they've been dancing for a while. Dehydration can cause people to overheat and faint, which, at a crowded party, can seriously endanger them (not to mention put a damper on the festivities). Access to water is especially important for party-goers who have taken ecstasy (MDMA/"Molly") or another party drug. In addition to the inherent legal and physical dangers of using these types of drugs (which are well-documented), they can also easily lead to deadly cases of dehydration and exhaustion, so it's important to offer lots of water and rest opportunities if this is occurring at your party. Even publications written by drug aficionados will recommend this. As noted above, injury or death resulting from exhaustion is no laughing matter. If you're throwing a party with lots of dancing (and especially the possibility of drug use), it's very important to be able to identify the signs of serious exhaustion so that you can keep your guests safe, happy, and healthy. If you think one of your guests is suffering from exhaustion, move them to a cool area, give them water (not alcohol) to drink, and, if they don't get better, call an ambulance. It's better to be safe than to risk the possibility of your guest dying. Knowing the following symptoms of exhaustion may help you save a life:  Confusion Dizziness/vertigo Weakness Fainting Headache Cramps Pale skin Nausea
Summary: Prepare any food or refreshments before your guests arrive. Lead the guests in glow-in-the-dark games. Keep your party playlist spinning. Let your guests get fresh air if they need it. Encourage your guests to drink lots of water. Know the signs of exhaustion.

Problem: Article: When your guinea pig first arrives in your home, it is likely to be overwhelmed and scared. A secure, calm, and quiet space will help your guinea pig begin to feel safe in its new environment.  Keep your guinea pig away from other pets, small children, and loud noises. A quiet space will help to prevent the guinea pig from becoming startled or scared. If possible, place your guinea pig’s cage in a room that can be completely shut off. This way you can occasionally open the cage and let your guinea pig have playtime. Give your guinea pig some time to adjust to its new home. Avoid handling it for up to 3 days after you bring it home to help it settle in. The minimum recommended cage size for 1-2 guinea pigs is 7.5 square feet (2.3 m). Add 1.5 square feet (.46m) for each additional guinea pig. There should be plenty of room for the guinea pig to run; if you add a lot of ramps or accessories, you may need to go to a larger size.  The base of the cage should be a solid surface. Guinea pigs may get their paws stuck and injure themselves if the floor of the cage is made of wire or mesh. A solid plastic floor is safer and will be easy to clean. That said, no matter what type of cage you get, you will need a thick layer of bedding to protect your guinea pig's feet. Look for cages that are easy to clean and maintain. You should be able to easily reach all areas of the cage. You should also look for cages made from easily cleanable materials, such as plastic. Metal cages are also acceptable, but be aware that they may rust and need to be replaced. Hay, paper, towels, and woodchips can all serve as bedding for your guinea pig. Most pet stores sell wood shavings which are also a popular form of bedding. Remember to  change the bedding about once every week.  Never add damp or wet bedding as it can grow mold. Avoid using sawdust or straw as bedding as they can also mold easily. Cedar and pine shavings can be toxic to guinea pigs, so look carefully at the type of wood shavings you are using as bedding. These will help the guinea pig to feel comfortable. Huts and igloos provide a place where the guinea pig can hide and feel safe when they are overwhelmed. They can be purchased online or at your local pet store. Consider adding toys, such as balls, ramps, or cardboard tubes to provide entertainment for your guinea pig. Speaking to your guinea pig will help them get used to your voice. When you feed them, clean the cage, or change their water, talk to them in a calm tone. You should also visit your guinea pig and speak to them throughout the day so that they begin to get used to your presence.
Summary:
Choose a quiet, calm location for your guinea pig’s cage. Buy a cage that is large enough for your guinea pig. Add bedding to the cage. Place toys and hutches into the cage. Talk to your guinea pig.
