Problem: Write an article based on this summary: See if your cat will simply eat the medication. Put the medicine in your cat's food. Bury the medication in a tasty treat.

Answer: Try feeding the medication to your cat without restraining it. Gel medication is generally flavored to appeal to a cat’s taste. In fact, cats will frequently lick it off a finger or surface readily. Gel medication can also be smeared on a cat’s shoulder for it to lick off or quickly smeared inside the lips with a swipe of a finger. Liquid medication and occasionally pills can be mixed with a flavorful canned food and eaten by the cat when it normally eats. Be sure to mix the medication in thoroughly, so that the cat cannot, or has a hard time, avoiding it. Some cats, for example, can detect pills in their food and eat around them.  If you are trying to feed your cat pills in its food, be sure to inspect the bowl afterword for leftover pills. Check the directions for medication in pill form to see if you can crush it up. Your cat is more likely to eat a crushed up pill mixed into its food than a whole pill mixed into the food. If your cat won't eat its medicine in its normal food, try enticing it with a special treat. Get a bit of tuna or other smelly morsel and put the pill in it. You can also use a piece of cheese, a bit of deli meat, or a bit of hotdog.  Feed the treat directly to the cat, instead of letting it pick at it in a food dish. This way it is less likely to pick out the pill and avoid eating it. There are treats specifically designed so that you can hide a pill in them. These "pill pockets" have a hole inside where you can conceal the treat and they smell strongly, so your cat will be enticed by them.   Make sure the cat has actually swallowed the pill. Feed the cat another piece of treat immediately after the one with the pill. This will make it more likely to quickly swallow the pill.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Locate the vent, a small hole on the underside of the fish. Plunge the knife in just behind the vent, towards the tail. Cut along the fish until you just about reach the end. Starting at this hinge, get the knife between the skin and meat to easily remove the skin and scales. Use a spoon to scoop out any extra meat around the bones if making a stew, fish patties, meat balls, etc.

Answer: This little hole, the fish's anus, is located on the belly of the fish near the tail. Locate it as the starting point for your fish. Cutting the tail fillets of a pike is just like any other fish. If you already know what you're doing, there are no extra bones or steps to worry about with northern pike. Cut down until you hit the remains of the backbone, then angle the knife back towards the tail. You want to be just tail-side of the vent, so that it is not in your fillet. This hole only provides your starting point -- you don't want to cook it! You don't want to totally cut the fillet off. It should have a small "hinge" of skin right where the flesh meets the tail, so you can pull the meat off the fish like an opening door. Leaving the fillet just barely on the fish makes it much easier to skin, as the tail forms a natural hinge. There is plenty of good meat left on the fish if you're not only interested in the fillets. Simply use a spoon and your knife to pull the meat off the bones and sort out any last bits of bone.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Connect with friends and family. Socialize with people who share similar interests. Volunteer in your community.

Answer: These are the people who love and care about you and will be the most honest. Whatever emptiness you have can be filled by the friends and family who will provide you comfort and confidence. It is important to balance your life between work, fun, and family.  Talking with people you love and trust is a good way to relieve stress, think positive, and take your mind off of work and other pressing issues. Regardless of how busy your weekly schedule is, take one day of the week to dedicate to friends and family. Your body and mind will appreciate it. Family and friends also provide companionship, camaraderie, and happier encounters that reduce feelings of loneliness and stress. Communicating with people who enjoy similar activities creates a sense of belonging and promotes mental health.  Join a gym, book or card club, a sports team, or an evening walk group, to not only enjoy physical and mental exercise but also to get out of the house. Cultivate friendships with intelligent, educated, and experienced people. These friendships will produce stimulating conversations on a variety of topics exposing you to new ideas, perspectives, and understandings, which is a good mental exercise. You can locate these clubs and organizations in many places such as online, the classified section of the newspaper, or through friends and family members. Participating in volunteer activities has shown to increase one’s well-being, self-confidence, and self-esteem. Volunteering often benefits the community, giving you a sense of unity, accomplishment, and a positive outlook on life.  Volunteering does not have to be a major undertaking. Instead, help out an elderly neighbor get groceries, shovel the driveway in winter for a single mother, or plant a community garden to promote the health of others. Biologically, the side effect of making social connections through volunteering is the release of the hormone oxytocin, which is associated relaxation, trust, and psychological stability.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a laminating machine that suits your needs. Turn on the machine and allow it to warm up. Place your document inside the laminating pouch. Place the laminating pouch containing the document inside the carrier. Feed the carrier through the machine. Allow the pouch to cool before removing it from the carrier. Trim the edges if needed using a paper cutter or scissors.

Answer:
Most home users buy machines that can accept documents as large as the standard 8-1/2" x 11" letter size (216 by 279 mm). Most laminating machines have an indicator light that will tell you when the machine is ready. These are 2 sheets of laminate plastic attached at one end.  If the pouch is only slightly larger than your document (for instance, if you are laminating a business card with business-card size pouch) you will need to carefully center the document so there will be an even border all around. If the document is significantly smaller than the pouch, it's not necessary to center the document because you can trim the edges. The sealed end of the pouch should be snug against the sealed end of the carrier. The carrier is 2 sheets of treated cardstock that protects the laminating machine from adhesive buildup. Insert the sealed end first until the machine grabs it. Don't force the carrier through the machine; it must go slowly enough for the machine to fuse the sheets.  Leave at least a 1/16" (2mm) border.
