Problem: Article: Parent involvement in homework has been shown to help with homework completion and improved academic performance. Asking a friend for help in understanding a concept or an assignment can go a long way in helping you complete your homework on time. While it can feel daunting to ask a teacher for help on an assignment or for clarification on an assignment, their goal is to help you understand what they're teaching. Most likely, they'll be glad you've reached out for help, and will do their best to assist you. If you're too afraid to ask a teacher during class, see if you can stay behind to ask your questions. Sometimes, a tutor can be a great resource for improving your understanding of a subject. Tutors are a great resource, as they have knowledge of your subject, and one-on-one instruction can help you understand the material in a way that in-class discussion might not have. It is also often easier to ask questions of your tutor rather than in front of the whole class.  First, contact your school to see if there are any after-school tutoring programs. While not all primary and secondary schools offer tutoring, a vast majority of universities do. If your school does not offer tutoring, they may know of other resources for you to contact. Then, contact your library to see if they offer any tutoring.  In some areas, there may also be free community tutoring programs. Contact your local community center for more information. There are plenty of private tutors out there as well, but they can be costly (ranging from $20 to $100 an hour). You can find tutors online through a number of websites, such as Craigslist or Angie's list. In addition to having books and other useful materials for homework, many libraries offer quiet places for study. Many libraries offer other resources such as tutoring, reference librarians, and, at many academic libraries, subject specific librarians. If you need to work at a library after school, ask your parents or search the web to find your local library.
Summary: Ask your parents or peers for help. Ask your teacher for help or clarification. Find a tutor (if available). Go to the library.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are several types of infections that a nursing dog can get that can affect nursing. One of the most common is mastitis, which is an infection of the milk ducts. This occurs due to blocked milk ducts or swelling in the teat. Signs that the mother dog has mastitis include:  Lethargy Fever Lack of appetite Firm and swollen teats Puss coming from nipples Refusal to let puppies nurse Failure of puppies to grow Don't assume that the infection will go away on its own. If you leave even a slight a nipple infection to clear up on its own it can become a very serious infection.  The veterinarian will ask you about the dog's symptoms and he or she will do a physical exam to assess the mother dog's health.  Remember that getting veterinary care is important for the health of the mother dog and the health of the puppies. It is likely that the veterinarian will suggest putting the mother dog on antibiotics to clear up the infection. Additionally, the infected area may need to be opened and drained if the infection is severe.  In the case of a mild case of mastitis, the vet may suggest applying warm compresses to the teats four to six times a day. A mother dog with a serious infection will go on antibiotics but may need additional care at the veterinary office. If the infection has spread to other places in her body or is causing her system to shut down she may need to be put on an I.V. and watched by veterinary professionals. Discuss the fact that the antibiotics will be passed on to the puppies when discussing the treatment with your veterinarian. This may affect the type and quantity of antibiotics used. If the mother dog cannot nurse her puppies, then you will need to provide them with food. Only give them food that is formulated for puppies or you may make them sick. There are formulas made specifically for newborn puppies that can be bought at most pet stores or online. You will also need to keep the puppies warm, as the mother gives them a lot of body heat. Newborn puppies need to be fed every two to three hours around the clock. This means that nursing them will be a big job for you to take on.

SUMMARY: Identify infections. Take the mother dog to a veterinarian. Treat the infection. Care for the puppies in the mother's absence.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you have rolled your bread slices up, you should have one or more burrito shaped rolls. In order to make them into pinwheel sandwiches, take a knife and hew them into evenly-sized chunks. Cut them into bite-sized chunks that are similar in size to bites of sushi. If you want a proper measurement, cut the pieces in one inch segments. An inch length is a good bite-size for this type of sandwich. If you've sufficiently loaded your sandwiches, there's a good chance there will be ingredients that are protruding from the bread once you've rolled it up. If there's anything sticking out from your roll, snip it off as close to the roll as you can. If you're short and time and aren't trying to make perfect pinwheels, you don't necessarily have to trim the excess pieces. But doing so will make your pinwheels look more professional. Although pinwheel sandwiches do a reasonably good job of holding their shape, locking them down with a toothpick will make sure they don't unfurl before being eaten. Before you present them, impale them down the centre with one toothpick each. If you're packing the sandwiches for children, it may be best for safety's sake to go without the toothpicks. The same applies to serving the very elderly. Pinwheel sandwiches are a perfect party food. Because they look great as a finger food, you should put some effort into the way you present them on a platter. The most common way to do this is to ring them around the perimeter of the platter, working your way in as you fill the tray. Including a dipping sauce in the center of the platter will be a hit if you're serving a group. Pinwheel sandwiches are small enough to fit snugly into a kid's lunch box. Seal them in ziploc bags to preserve their freshness. Because of their small size, you should be able to pack three or four into one bag. If you're making them specifically for a child, you should fill them with his favourite ingredients.
Summary:
Cut each roll into bite-size pieces. Slice off excess pieces. Secure your pinwheel pieces with a toothpick. Serve on a party platter. Pack in school lunches.
