INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your hamster will have a lot of energy and it'll like to exercise, especially at night. Provide your hamster with toys it can use with or without your help.  Exercise wheels are the classic hamster toy. Make sure the wheel is stabilized at the bottom of the cage so it doesn't tip over when the hamster climbs on. Don't choose a wire wheel or your hamster can hurt its feet. The wheel should be big enough that the hamster won't bend its back while it runs on it. Hamster wheels can also be loud, so if you are a light sleeper, put your hamster's cage in a different room. Quiet wheels, usually marketed as silent spinners, are available. For Roborovski Dwarf hamsters the minimum wheel size is 5 inches (13 cm), and for Russian Dwarves (Djungarian/Winter White and Campbell's) and Roborovski hamsters, the minimum is 6.5 inches (17 cm).  An alternative to exercise wheels are "flying saucers." They are basically just wheels turned sideways to allow for a flat running surface and quiet rotation. You should get about the same size of saucer as you would a wheel. Exercise balls are another popular choice. The hamster is placed inside a plastic ball, which rolls as the hamster runs around. Do NOT buy such a ball. The hamster is very susceptible to stress. They often panic in these balls and can hurt themselves if they run into objects. In the first few days of getting a new dwarf hamster, do not attempt to pick it up. Just put your hand in its cage and let it sniff you to get used to your scent. Don't grab or otherwise roughly handle your hamster, since it has a very fragile body. Always pick a hamster up from the bottom or else it will feel threatened. Start off by sitting on the floor and holding it near the floor. If it senses an easy escape route, it'll be less likely to bite or squirm. Hold your hamster every day. If your dwarf hamster doesn't socialize frequently, it may stop being as friendly when you want to play. Gently lift your hamster from his cage and let him scurry around your lap at least once a day. Dwarf hamsters are very clean animals and rarely need intervention from their owners to maintain good hygiene.  However, once a week you can pour some small animal sand into a bowl and allow your hamster to take a sand bath, which imitates the type of substance hamsters use to keep clean in the wild.  If your hamster is very dirty, get a small brush that humans use to dye their hair roots or a toothbrush. Wet it and gently stroke your hamster with it. Dab dry with a rag. Never bathe a hamster by submerging it in water. This will cause the hamster to become very ill.

SUMMARY: Provide toys and sources of entertainment. Hold him correctly. Help your hamster stay clean.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Turn a square of origami paper (with the colored side up) so that it looks like a diamond. Take the top of the diamond and fold it all the way down to the bottom and crease. Your paper should now resemble a triangle with the longest side at the top. Take the left tip of the triangle and fold it over so that it lays on top of the right tip. Crease the fold. Now your paper should look like a smaller triangle with upper and lower flaps. Take the right tip of the top flap and push it toward the bottom tip. To do this, open up the flap as you push, and then fold the paper down flat so that the tips touch. Turn the paper over, and repeat this step on the other side with the lower/left flap. You’ll now have a smaller square with upper and lower flaps. Take the left and right tips of the upper flap and fold them toward the center. Crease the folds, then unfold the tips again. Take the bottom of the upper flap, and raise it upwards. Gently push it down flat. The sides of this flap should fold inward along the creases you previously made on the sides of the upper flap. Flip your paper over, and repeat this step on the other side. Your paper will now look like a narrow diamond, with upper and lower flaps. Fold the left and right tips of the upper flap of the diamond from the bottom tip, moving them toward the center. Crease the folds. Turn the paper over and repeat on the other side. You should now have an even narrower diamond, with the bottom tip at a narrower angle than the top one. After narrowing the diamond, take the right flap of each side and fold it over the left flap. Take the upper flap at its bottom point, folding it upwards. Crease the fold about three-fourths of the way from the bottom. Flip your paper over and repeat on the other side. If you hold your paper in your hand, you should now feel narrow pieces on the left and right in between the upper and lower flaps. Gently pull these apart until they look roughly like a bird’s neck and tail with wings sticking up between them. Crease the folds to hold them in place. Choose which point you want to be your bird’s neck. Push down slightly on the fold near the end. Keep pushing until the fold goes inward and the tip forms roughly a right angle with the neck, forming the bird’s head. Crease the fold. Now your paper should look like your bird’s wings are pointed straight up. Fold them down on each side of the bird’s body, and make a horizontal crease. Lift them up slightly, and the wings should now stick out at the sides, so that your crane looks like it is in flight.

SUMMARY: Make a diagonal fold. Fold the paper in half. Open the top flap. Fold the left and right sides in. Lift the upper flap. Make the paper narrower. Fold the bottom of the diamond upwards. Form the crane’s neck and tail. Make the bird’s head. Fold the crane’s wings. Finished.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Being overweight makes your heart work harder to pump blood around your body. If you are overweight linking your exercise regime with a healthy diet will help to lose weight and relieve some of the stress on your heart, which in turn will lower your resting heart rate. As well as all the other damage tobacco does to your body, smokers are known to have higher resting heart rates than non-smokers. Cutting down or preferably quitting smoking will help to lower your heart rate and improve the healthiness of your heart. Nicotine constricts blood vessels and causes damage to heart muscles and vasculature. Quitting smoking can greatly improve blood pressure, circulation and overall health as well as decrease risk for cancer and breathing problems. Caffeine and caffeine products such as coffee and tea are well-known to increase heart rate. If you think you have a slightly high resting heart rate, lowering your caffeine intake can help to reduce it.  More than two cups of coffee a day can contribute to side effects including an increased heart rate.  Decaffeinated drinks can help you lower your caffeine intake. Alcohol intake has been connected to increased heart rates and higher average heart rates. Cutting down on the amount of alcohol you consume can help you to lower your resting heart rate. Reducing the amount of stress you experience isn't necessarily easy, but it can help you to lower your resting heart rate over time. Stress in extreme amounts can have a negative impact on your health. Practice some activities that help you to relax such, as meditation or tai chi. Try to dedicate a little time each day for a period of relaxation and deep breathing.  Everyone is different so find what relaxes you. Maybe it will be listening to calming music, or taking a long bath.

SUMMARY:
Combine your exercise with a healthy diet. Avoid tobacco. Cut down on caffeine. Avoid alcohol. Reduce stress.
