In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: . Ideally, start this an hour in advance so you have time to get perfect roasting coals. There are three successful ingredients to a good campfire (plus a safe fire pit and a way to light it, of course):  A pile of dry tinder, such as paper, grass, dryer lint, or char cloth. If you didn't bring any and the weather is wet, collect pine cones or take shavings from inside a split log. Small twigs to use as kindling. Build it gradually outward and upward from small to large, leaving plenty of space for air. Dry branches about the size of your forearm, added gradually once the fire catches. These should be about as long as an adult's arm, sturdy, and pointed. Try one of these:  Metal stakes or kebab sticks. These can get too hot to touch, so choose ones that are extra-long or have a wooden handle Hardwood sticks, sap-free and whittled to a blunt point. Storebought marshmallow roasters Make sure the stick goes all the way through the marshmallow to prevent slipping. If the marshmallow can slide easily along the stick, you'll have to be careful not to tip the stick down into the fire. You can stack on several marshmallows at once, but it's easier to get a good toasted surface with just one at a time. Once your fire has been burning for a while, some of the wood will burn out and turn it glowing coals. A spot right above these coals is the perfect area to roast marshmallows. The heat from this makeshift oven will caramelize that sugar perfectly, and there are no gouts of fire to ruin the majestic white goo. Rotate the stick as you go so the heat toasts the marshmallow evenly on all sides. You'll see the outer surface turn brown as it cooks. You can either keep up a steady rotation until the marshmallow is light brown all over, or cook one side until it's done, then rotate and start again on another side. Sometimes, the marshmallow will sag down and fail to turn when you rotate the stick. Stab it or prop it up with a second stick to fix this. Sticking a marshmallow into the flame will cause it to catch fire. You can blow it out, but you'll end up with a bitter, black layer of charcoal. Unless you love to set your toaster to 11, try to avoid this. Never shake the stick or jerk it back violently when the marshmallow catches fire. Silly though it sounds, a flaming molten marshmallow can cause a painful burn. Unlike the coals, which just radiate heat, the flames also send a stream of hot gases traveling upward. This second type of heat (called convection) will burn your marshmallow much faster. So even if the flame is well below your marshmallow, you can still end up turning half of it black or even setting it on fire. Usually it's worth the extra minute or two to cook it over coals instead. Some people like to pull off the crisp brown layer and eat it first, then devour the hot goo inside. If your marshmallow accidentally burned black, you can pull off this layer and throw it in the fire instead. And of course, some of your friends have already finished scarfing the entire jumbo marshmallow in one bite while you were reading this. Careful — the marshmallow will be very hot. Wait at least 30-60 seconds after pulling it out of the fire.
Summary: Build a fire Choose your roasting sticks. Poke a marshmallow onto the stick. Roast your marshmallow over hot coals. Turn gradually. Expect charcoal if you put the marshmallow directly in the fire. Take care when holding marshmallows above a flame. Eat the marshmallow.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Don't get a stranger or relative stranger to help you trim your cat's nails or your cat will be even more scared. Though it sounds good and fine to get your cat used to having its nails trimmed, the reality is, many cats will still protest every single time, and you may have to get some extra help to do it. You can both try standing on opposite sides of a raised surface, like a counter.  Both of you should talk calmly and reassuringly to the cat. Have your helper pet the cat and try to keep it in place by holding on to its body without hurting it or scaring it too much. If your cat enjoys being brushed, the other person can brush the cat to distract it from the fact that it's getting its nails trimmed. Have your helper brush the cat’s head, under its neck, or in other places where it enjoys being brushed. While holding the paw, push down on the pad to extend the claws. If your cat is being rowdy, wait for it to settle down so that you can isolate the paw. Your helper will continue to distract the cat while you trim its claws.  Just follow the directions in the previous section to make sure you give your cat a smooth, painless nail trim. When you're done, reward your cat with a nice treat. Every cat's nails will grow at a different rate, but it's good practice to trim your cat's nails somewhere between every two weeks and every month so that its nails don't get too long, split, or break.  Though your cat will likely sharpen its claws and keep them in good shape on its own, keep an eye on its nails nonetheless. Your cat could be walking around with a broken nail, and you can help it out by trimming it into shape. Older cats need special attention because their nails are thicker and can sometimes press around into the pads and cut into them. Check your older cat's nails every week, and clip the tip off if necessary. This is much easier than letting the nails get overgrown, which can cause them to impact into the pads. If this happens then the cat will need to see a veterinarian because antibiotics may be necessary.
Summary:
Choose a person your cat knows and trusts. Have your helper hold the cat in place. Hold one of your cat's paws in your hand. Trim your cat's nails as you normally would. Check your cat's nails on a regular basis.
