Q: Since your Great Dane is considered a large or giant breed of dog, you need to feed him food specifically designed for this. This will ensure the he gets the proper ratio of nutrients for him to grow properly and maintain a strong skeletal system for his large body. If you aren't sure what food to get your Great Dane, ask your vet or the breeder you got him from. They will be able to help you decide. A good rule of thumb is if the first two ingredients are meat (not meat by-products), then it's probably a good food. To help your Great Dane avoid a life-threatening condition known as bloat and otherwise keep him healthy, you should give him the best high-quality food you can get. Look on the label of any food you are considering for the list of ingredients. The concentration of protein should not be more than 23 to 25%, especially when your Great Dane is a puppy. This can cause growth problems because he won't be able to metabolize too much of it.  Meat should be one of the first two ingredients. It should also have vegetables in it as well. Meat by-product is okay really far down on the list, but it shouldn't be in the first five ingredients. You should never feed your Great Dane large meals. He needs small meals throughout the day instead of large meals, since these can cause bloat. This means you need to look at the recommended daily amount on the back of the dog food bag and then split that up into three to four meals a day. You should also not change his food abruptly, because this can also cause intestinal issues. There are certain foods that you should never feed your Great Dane. These can cause health issues and even kill him. These foods include:  Chocolate Avocados Grapes or raisins Alcohol Fatty meat scraps Various nuts Onions, garlic and chives Cooked bones or chicken bones Yeast dough Xylitol, a substance found in sugar free foods If you want to use human food as a treat for your Great Dane, there are a few you can feed him. These include:  Small chunks of cooked sweet potatoes Frozen peas or blueberries in small amounts Baby carrots In order to stay healthy, your Great Dane will need access to water. Since he is so big, he will need a lot of water throughout the day. Make sure you check his water bowl often. Remember to limit his water drinking after he eats, which will help avoid bloat.
A: Feed him large breed food. Get high-quality food. Feed him small meals. Avoid harmful foods. Feed him small snacks. Provide water.

Article: Most uncut gems are oddly shaped so you may need to grind it down. Roughly grinding the outsides of the gem will make it closer to the size and shape you want. Hold the gem between your fingertips and carefully polish it on a 1200 grit lap.  If you have a lot of rough to remove, use a 260 grit lap. Since faceting machines are expensive and not usually available for rent, see if you can take a few faceting classes to become familiar with using them. If you want to buy one, find one directly from a manufacturer or look online. Heat a dime-sized amount of dop wax on the end of your dop stick. Hold it near a flame so the wax softens and becomes pliable. Stick the base of the gem that will be mounted into the wax. The faced surface of the gem should be exposed.  Let the wax cool before you grind it so the gem stays on the dop stick. Once you've gained experience, consider using superglue or cyanoacrylate adhesives instead of wax. These are less likely to break off or damage heat-sensitive gems such as opals. Use a 1200 lap disc on your faceting machine to cut the circumference (girdle) of the gem. Set the angle to 90 degrees so you can make symmetrical cuts. Don't lock the index wheel on the machine so you can move it freely and have more control over cutting.  The outline you cut will depend on which shape you've chosen. For example, you'll make a rectangular girdle for an emerald cut. Consult the machine's instruction manual for specific instructions about each style of cut. Wipe the gem clean with a microfiber cloth. This will remove the coarser grit that's transferred to the gem. Take the coarser lap disc off of the machine and put a pre-polishing lap on the machine. Find faceting diagrams for the shape you're cutting the gem. A diagram will tell you how many facets to make and at what angles to make them. Polish the facets against the lap until the surfaces of the gem are smooth. To get the cut you want, you may have to reheat the dop wax, remove the rough, and reposition it in the hot wax. Heating the stone along with the wax will not harm it. Put a polishing lap on your machine. Take the small spatula that came with your oxide polish and dip it into the polish so a peanut-sized amount is on the end of the spatula. Run the machine and spread the polish over the lap in a smooth even layer. This will buff your new gemstone until it sparkles and will help remove any grit or imperfections leftover by the faceting process. To remove the finished stone from the dop stick, warm the wax near an open flame so it softens. Then pull the stone away from the wax.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Use a faceting machine to preform the gem. Secure the rough gem to a dop stick using warm wax. Grind the outlines of the stone to shape the girdle. Wipe grit from the gem and put a pre-polishing lap on the machine. Cut the facets according to the shape you want. Charge the polishing lap with an oxide polish. Polish the top of the cut gem against the polishing lap.
