INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In the vast majority of cases, nosebleeds are nothing to worry about. If you panic unnecessarily, you will frighten your child and make the situation worse. Remain as calm as possible. The “stay calm” rule also applies if you are certain that your toddler’s nosebleed is the result of enthusiastic nose picking. This is not the time to reprimand or embarrass your toddler, or to get upset or angry. Stay calm and deal with the nosebleed itself before addressing the cause. He may be most upset because he doesn't understand what is happening. Try to keep your voice low and calm. As you go through each step to deal with the bleeding, explain what you are doing and why. Once you have dealt with the bleeding, provide some physical affection, such as a hug or some cuddles, to comfort her. Explain that although a nosebleed might be scary, it doesn't mean that she is dying or that she is very sick.

SUMMARY: Stay calm. Explain to your child what is happening. Provide physical comfort.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Even though Norwegian Forest cats have long fur, they do well with weekly brushing. Use a wire bristle brush or comb to brush your Norwegian forest cat’s back, sides, tummy, chest, and tail once per week. If you start brushing your Norwegian Forest cat when she is a kitten, then this process will be much easier for both of you. . Your Norwegian forest cat needs his claws, but sometimes your cat’s claws may become too sharp and you may have to give him a trim. If your cat uses his scratchers often, then you may not need to trim his claws at all. If your cat does not use his scratchers too often, then it is a good idea to trim your Norwegian forest cat’s claws once every three weeks.  Trim the white tips of your cat’s claws only. Avoid the pink area of your Norwegian forest cat’s claws. Cutting this part of the claw can hurt your cat. You should be able to see the pink area of your cat’s claws when you look at them in the light. Use a special guillotine style nail trimmer and only trim a little bit of your cat’s claws at a time. The goal of a trim is to cut off the sharp tips, not remove your cat’s entire claw. . Regular dental care is a good way to keep your Norwegian forest cat’s teeth healthy, which is important for his overall health. Regular brushing will also help to keep your cat’s breath fresh. To brush your Norwegian forest cat’s teeth, use a toothbrush and toothpaste that is meant for cats. Human toothpaste can make your cat sick.  Introduce your Norwegian forest cat to the toothbrush gradually. For example, you may begin by letting him to lick wet cat food off of the toothbrush for the first few days and then try to put the toothbrush into his mouth after he seems comfortable with it. When you brush your Norwegian forest cat’s teeth, use gentle strokes along the surface of his teeth and gums. Do not apply too much pressure or you may injure him. . Norwegian forest cats have thick, double coats that are waterproof, so giving him a bath might be a challenge and you may want to consult a professional groomer if you think a bath is necessary. Keep in mind that you should not need to bathe your Norwegian forest cat unless he gets dirty or sticky. If you notice that your Norwegian forest cat suddenly stops grooming himself, then take him to see the veterinarian before you do anything. This may be a sign of illness.

SUMMARY: Brush your Norwegian forest cat’s fur weekly. Trim your Norwegian forest cat’s claws Clean your Norwegian forest cat’s teeth Bathe your Norwegian forest cat if necessary


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The first item on your list should be something you can go do right now. This could be as simple as cleaning the dishes from last night or calling a friend you have been meaning to get in touch with. The second item on the list should be something else you can get done in the next 2-5 minutes. And so on. This will cause you to act on the list of things you need to get done within an immediate window. Put more time consuming items further down on your list. By the time you get to them, you should be motivated enough to tackle them. If you don't know how to do something, but need to get it done (such as “do my taxes” or “fix the broken door handle”), make a note to check for ways to learn how to do this activity. Put on your list: “Ask Mom about doing taxes” or “Check online forums for how to fix a broken door handle.” Organize your commitments and appointments on a physical calendar or on your phone using a calendar tool. Be detailed with the description of the appointment so you can remember what it is later. For example: “Hair Appointment at Bev's Salon” or “Meeting with Kelsey at Original Joe's Restaurant on 5th Street”. If you put the dates in your phone calendar, you should also set a reminder alarm 1 day or several hours before the appointment in case you forget about it. Next to your to-do list or the note in your calendar, write the date you will complete the task. If the task is ongoing, such as a fitness goal or long standing appointment, be specific about the time of day you will complete the goal on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. If possible, try to get items on your to do list or your calendar done 1-2 days ahead. That way, there is a buffer of time between when something is due, such as your science paper or your final report for your boss, and you won't stress out when the deadline appears.

SUMMARY: Make a to-do list. Put important dates in your calendar. Set tight deadlines and goals.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In most states, it is legal to drill your own well. However, in some states, you must have a permit to drill over 200 feet, so you may need to get the permit or have the well professionally drilled. Check your local codes by calling local officials or searching online. Septic tanks, muddy areas, sewers or animal pens can all potentially contaminate wells. Waste matter leeches through the soil, all the way down to the water reservoir: anyone who drinks water from a well drilled near these areas could get sick. Drill at least 50 feet away from any of these areas. If you live in a populated area, you will want to check with your local utility companies before you drill. Many electricity, gas and telephone companies run conduits underground, so any drilling could interfere with or strike their lines. Call your utility providers to find the location of any cabling running under your property. Different factors on your property will give you information about how much water to expect to get from underwater reservoirs. Soil type, topography, information about your water table and vegetation can give clues about where to dig.  Areas with heavy sand and gravel deposits often yield water. The larger the pieces of gravel or sand, the more water is most likely beneath the surface. These areas will be harder to drill, however, because of large boulders that may exist in the path of your drill. Vegetation can tell you the location of water. In arid climates, locations with greater number of plants growing indicate water below the surface. Look for groups of trees or shrubs to locate a good place to drill. Topography can help you make your choice. Areas of lower elevation, such as the bottoms of valleys or hills often yield more water. You may also have success drilling near rivers or other bodies of water like ponds or streams. It may also be helpful to call your county survey office or other planning organization and ask for groundwater maps. Many county offices can provide you with information about the location of water tables and places where others have successfully dug wells.

SUMMARY:
Check your local laws. Don’t put the well near sources of contamination. Confirm your well location with utility companies. Choose a site that will yield the most water.
