INPUT ARTICLE: Article: with your brother as often as possible. Having fun with your brother is one of the best ways to increase the positive feelings between the two of you. Take some time whenever you are with your brother to do something you both enjoy. This will allow you to create happy memories together that you can both reflect on for years to come.  For example, you could build a pillow fort together in your living room, go for a bike ride, or play a game together. If your brother has a favorite game or hobby, show an interest in it! For example, if your younger brother loves Minecraft, ask to play with him or ask him to show you how to play if you don't know how. Team-building activities can help to strengthen your bond with your younger brother as well.  Look for opportunities to work with your brother to plan or accomplish something. This can be a small, everyday task, such as cleaning the living room, or it might be a big once in a lifetime activity, such as planning a special birthday party for a parent or another sibling. You could also engage in team-building with your brother by helping him with his homework, playing a collaborative video or board game, or asking for your brother's help with solving a personal problem. Make sure that your brother knows you are proud of him no matter what. Congratulate him when he succeeds and encourage him when he encounters a challenge.  For example, if your brother gets an A on a big math test, you might say something like, “Way to go, buddy! I knew you could do it!” If your brother's soccer team loses a game, you might say something like, “I know it's hard to lose a game, but you played your best and I am proud of you for all of that hard work!” towards your brother. This will let your brother know that you are thinking of him even when it might seem like you're not. Look for opportunities to surprise your brother with a small treat, gift, or other act of kindness. For example, you could randomly surprise your brother at school or work with his favorite lunch, send him a care package if he's away at school, or take care of a chore for him when he's having a hard day. Nurturing is an important way to show someone that you care. If your brother gets hurt, physically or emotionally, do your best to console him. Give him a hug or pat him on the back. Don't ignore him or shame him for getting upset.  For example, if your brother falls down and scrapes his knee, help him up and take him to get cleaned up. If your brother has their feelings hurt by someone, listen to him and let him cry if he needs to. Let him know that you are there for him. Avoid judging your brother and trying to boss him around. It's important that your brother feels like he can confide in you, so make sure to demonstrate that you are trustworthy. Never judge, mock, tease, or boss your brother around. Show him genuine kindness and be there for him just like you would a close friend.

SUMMARY: Do fun things Look for ways to work with your brother as a team. Encourage your brother on his challenges and successes. Engage in random acts of kindness Console your brother if he gets hurt. Be a friend to your brother, not a parent or bully.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This is because grain is not a natural diet for cattle, and often causes more issues and illnesses than grass or hay does.  This is often one faultless preventative measure that a lot of producers can (and do) fall back on.  This helps with ease of digestion in the rumen, and also prevents the microbes in the rumen from digesting this high-concentrate ration too fast. Roughage should not be finely chopped, as this will often defeat the purpose of preventing acidosis.  Coarsely-chopped (or not chopped at all!) roughage is best. Then they over-eat to compensate for the loss of diet they missed during this interruption.  Often during extremely hot spells cattle won't eat during the day, then eat their hearts out at night when it's cooler. Thus, try to keep feeding schedules as routine as possible and keep feeding to several times a day to keep cattle from getting hungry between meals.
Summary: The most obvious preventative measure is to not have cattle on grain in the first place. Feeding grain often cannot be avoided, though, so gradually increasing the grain ration over time is the best way to prevent acidosis while still feeding cattle grain. Always include roughage with the grain diet you are giving your cattle. Often Nature-caused interruptions like storms, hot- or cold-spells, and extreme weather, or change in schedules such as being handled or hauled to a new farm or ranch can cause cattle to reduce their feed intake or stop eating all together until the danger has passed.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: No matter what type of fruit you're drying, the flavor and texture will hold up best over time if you use fruit that's perfectly ripe. Discard fruit that's overripe and bruised, and leave out fruit that's not quite ripe yet. Dried fruit usually still has its peel or skin intact, but you can remove these if you don't like them. Regardless of what you do with the peel and skin, pits and seeds should be removed.  To peel apples, pears and other fruits with a tough peel, use a vegetable peeler or slice off the peel with a paring knife. Remove the seeds using an apple corer or by slicing out the core with a knife. To peel peaches, plums, nectarines and other fruits with a thin skin, use the following process: slice an "x" in the skin at the top of the fruit. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil the fruit for 30 seconds, then remove it from the pot and place it in a bowl of ice to cool down. Once cool enough to handle, pull off the peel with your fingers. Remove the pit by slicing the fruit in half and prying it out. Use a paring knife to cut the fruit into equal-sized slices for easier storage. Fruit dried whole may dry unevenly or take forever to completely dry out, so it's better to cut the fruit first. Small fruits are the exception; there's no need to cut blueberries, raspberries, grapes or small strawberries before drying. It's best to dry fruit at a temperature of 200 °F (93 °C) or lower. If you use a higher temperature the fruit may end up baking instead of drying. If you have a food dehydrator, use it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Spread it out in one even layer to cut back on the time it takes for the fruit to completely dry. Use a nonstick baking sheet to keep the fruit from sticking. The amount of time it takes to dry varies by the type of fruit you're using, how hot your oven is running, and other factors. It could take as little as eight hours or as long as two days to completely dry the fruit. Test the fruit periodically to see if it's finished. Fully dry fruit should have a pleasing chewy texture and be completely devoid of moisture. Place it in an airtight storage container and store it in a cool, dark place. Dried fruit will keep for several months.

SUMMARY:
Choose ripe, flavorful fruit. Remove the peels, seeds and pits if necessary. Cut the fruit into chunks or slices. Preheat the oven to its lowest temperature. Lay the fruit out on a baking sheet. Place the fruit in the oven until it's dry. Store the dried fruit.
