INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Sometimes it could start a bigger problem if you just confront someone at school about taking your things without asking. It can be better to avoid an argument by someone older and wiser to get involved. If you have any doubts, it’s okay to go to a teacher or other trusted adult to make sure the problem gets solved fairly and without any fighting.  If the person is your friend and it’s a little thing, just tell them that it hurts your feelings when they take from you. If it's someone you’re not so friendly with, it might be better to have a teacher mediate, or help solve, the problem. If someone has a reputation for using other people’s stuff without asking, avoid them! Remember, when someone takes something that doesn’t belong to them without permission, it’s called stealing. If you hang out with someone who steals, you might end up in trouble yourself. Just like at home, if you don’t want someone using your stuff at school, you’d better keep it in a safe place. For example, don’t leave art supplies out if you don’t want to share them with the whole class.  If you have a locker, keep important stuff there and keep it locked. Remember, even if you didn’t buy them yourself, books and school supplies can be very expensive. Be responsible, and don’t tempt people with your valuables by leaving them unattended.

SUMMARY: Tell a teacher or trusted adult. Don’t hang around with people who steal. Keep track of your things.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Put three beads on the left string, remembering to alternate them if you're doing a two-colored body. Then slide the right string in the opposite direction as the left and pull the two ends to slide the beads up to the body. You need three more rows before starting the feet again. You can tie any knot you want, but a simple square knot will do just fine. You can use the knot used to tie your shoes as well, but make sure you double knot it.

SUMMARY: Build three more body rows identically to the first. Tie a double knot at the end of the tail to keep the beads in place.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most signs of arthritis are related to mobility. Often one particular joint is affected more than the others, and this can lead to your dog limping or standing with less weight on the sore leg than his other legs.  However, in the early stages, your dog can often run freely and forget about the discomfort when he sees something to chase after. Therefore, it can appear that the lameness comes and goes and is worse before a walk than during the walk. A dog with arthritis has a tendency to be worse the day after vigorous exercise. He may chase happily after a ball one day, but the next day when the joint is still inflamed, he will often limp more than before. Arthritis can cause your dog to avoid activities she once enjoyed. Your dog may be reluctant to go for her favorite walk or refuse to jump into your vehicle or on furniture. Arthritis causes pain for your dog. Look for whining when he walks. Your dog may also nip at you or seem upset when you touch the affected area. If your dog has an early stage of arthritis, she will often be stiff when she has been resting for a while, such as first thing in the morning or after sleeping. She may spend time stretching and padding around in a stilted way before her joints and muscles warm up and she can move more freely. Pain and discomfort can also affect your dog's mood. Pain can make an animal withdrawn or depressed and change his habits. Pain can also make your dog short-tempered and prone to snapping or aggressive behavior, so a change in his behavior should trigger you to look for an underlying problem, like arthritis.

SUMMARY: Take notice of any limping. Watch for avoidance of activities. Look for signs of pain. Watch for stiffness. Watch for mood changes.

Think about the beauty in the surroundings as you run. Enjoy the quiet and solitude, or the conversation if you have a running partner. Use it for contemplation, for stress relief, for release.

Get a running partner. Make your exercise a habit. Focus on the enjoyment of running.
