Problem: Article: This will open the New Flipagram screen. This allows Flipagram to use your pictures and camera. The easiest way to do stop-motion is to string together a sequence of still images. Hold your camera so that you can clearly see the image you're trying to capture. For best results when creating a stop-motion video, mount your phone on a tripod or other stand to keep it stable and ensure that each shot is lined up properly. You'll see it added to a list of previews at the top of the screen. Slightly move the subject so that it is transitioning to the next point. You'll see it added in the preview list after the first shot. If you're shooting for 12 frames per second, you'll need 720 pictures to complete the entire time. You'll see this in the upper-right corner.  This will format the video for Instagram.  You'll see this at the bottom of the preview. A quicker speed will result in a smoother video. You can search for music to add from Flipagram's online database. This will display the various filter options that can change the colors of your video. Some effects require that music be added first.

Problem: Article: Certain cat breeds, such as Himalayans, have a genetic predisposition toward developing mineral deposits in the bladder. But other factors can cause bladder stones in any breed.  A diet high in acidity or calcium, magnesium, or phosphorus may cause mineral buildup.  Decreased water consumption may lead to the concentration of minerals in the bladder.  A urinary tract infection may lead to bladder stones.  Certain medications and supplements, including Lasix, Cortisone, Ascorbic Acid, Tetracycline, and Sulfa drugs, may cause bladder stones when used over prolonged periods of time if the cat has a genetic tendency to do so. It is important to be alert for signs that your cat may have uroliths. Common signs to look for include:  Straining or distress when urinating (dysuria)  Bloody urine (hematuria)  Frequent urination in small quantities  Excessive genital licking   Urinating in unusual places Your vet will be able to diagnose bladder stones, and may be able to determine how severe the blockage is in your cat.  Report any unusual behavior or problems you've noticed in your cat. Your vet may take an X Ray or conduct other tests, such as palpating your cat's abdomen, checking its urine, or taking an ultrasonography test. If the cat has bladder stones, a stone, or group of stones, will be seen in the urinary bladder, or other parts of the urinary system such as the kidney, ureter, or urethra.
Summary: Know your cat's risk. Check for symptoms. Consult with your veterinarian.

Problem: Article: Look the band over for the watch’s model and serial number. Breitling stamps each and every one of their watches with these manufacturing details, either on the band, the casing or both. If you don’t find this unique stamp, or if the stamp lists an incorrect model or serial number, it’s not the genuine article.  Breitlings with metallic bracelets will usually have the model and serial number stamped on the bracelet itself, while some models with leather straps bear the stamp on the back of the watch instead, in case the band is replaced. Authentic leather strap watches will also be marked with the French phrases “cuir veritable” (genuine leather) or “croco veritable” (genuine crocodile skin), depending on the material. Replicas tend to leave out this detail, or get the type of material wrong. Hold the watch up to a light source to see if there’s a glare off the face. The crystal in a real Breitling is brushed with an anti-glare coating to cut down on the amount of light it reflects. There shouldn’t be much of a glare, and what reflection there is will be slightly bluish from the color of the crystal. If the watch face creates a blinding glare, you can bet it’s a fake. Hold the watch in your hand to assess its weight. Because of it’s heavy-duty, stainless steel construction and the quality of its internal components, the authentic watch should have a satisfying heft to it. The majority of replicas are manufactured from cheaper metals or even plastic, making them feel light and easily breakable.  While many different models exist, the average weight of a Breitling watch is somewhere between 90-120g.  Weight should not be the sole indicator of authenticity for a watch, as makers of knock-offs sometimes fill their watches with unnecessary pieces to make them heavier. If you’re buying the watch new, it should always come with a printed certificate of authenticity listing its technical specifications and manufacturing origin. The information contained in the certificate will describe the individual components of the watch, many of which can be used to tell a real watch from a fake one. An imitation will not go to the trouble of replicating this certificate. When buying a used Breitling, ask the current owner if the watch came with an official certificate.
Summary: Locate the model and serial number. Test for glare. Feel for the watch’s weight. See if the watch comes with a certificate.

Problem: Article: Transfer the buckwheat to a small bowl and cover it with water. Use your hand to swish the buckwheat around in the water. This will loosen any debris, dust, or plant matter. Skim off any debris or broken pieces that float to the top. Transfer the buckwheat to a fine-mesh strainer to drain the water. Washing will help to produce a fluffy buckwheat that also holds its shape. Place the washed buckwheat in a dry skillet or frying pan and heat it over medium heat. Continue cooking the buckwheat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it’s golden brown. Remove the skillet from the heat.  Toasting brings out the flavor of the buckwheat and gives it a nutty aroma. Toasted buckwheat is referred to as kasha. If your buckwheat has already been toasted, you don’t have to toast it again. Raw buckwheat doesn’t smell, and is a light brown or greenish color instead of golden brown. Transfer the water to a saucepan and add the salt. Put on the lid and heat the water over medium heat to bring it to a boil. When you add the buckwheat to boiling water instead of cold water, it will help to steam it as well as boil it. When the water is boiling, remove the lid from the saucepan and add the buckwheat. Bring the water back to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and continue simmering the buckwheat for 15 minutes. You don’t need to stir the buckwheat as it simmers. When the buckwheat has been simmering for 15 minutes, remove it from the heat. Leave the lid on and let the buckwheat sit for a quarter of an hour. This will give the buckwheat time to absorb any additional water that’s still in the pot without becoming mushy. Remove the lid and add the butter to the buckwheat. When the butter has melted, stir the buckwheat gently with a fork. This will remove clumps and separate the individual seeds, giving the buckwheat a lighter texture. You can also use ghee, margarine, or even your favorite cooking oil in place of the butter.
Summary:
Rinse the buckwheat. Toast raw buckwheat for about 5 minutes. Boil the water and salt. Simmer the buckwheat for 15 minutes. Let the buckwheat stand for 15 minutes. Add the butter and fluff the buckwheat.
