In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It is extremely important that you do not open doors or windows while your cat is highly agitated, because she may panic at the sound and bolt outside. Many pets who have run outdoors during fireworks have been lost or run over. Additionally, closing doors and windows will stop some of the explosion-like sounds from coming into your house. For example, if your bedroom is the farthest to the west of your house, and the fireworks are to the east, you would obviously pick your bedroom.  Be careful picking up the cat, as they will probably be terrified and jumpy. At the same time, they may love having someone they know there comforting and loving them. It depends on what personality type your cat has. If your cat seems liable to claw you because she is so frightened, drop a towel or throw blanket over her body and pick her up using the blanket instead. Be sure to speak soothing words to her as you do so, to help her understand that you are trying to help. Except to move her to a safe location, it is unwise and unnecessary to try to hold a cat while she is panicking unless she seems to prefer being held. Holding a panicky cat can result in scratches and bites as well as injuries to the cat herself, who might strain her muscles or hit her head trying to get away from you. If your cat is crate trained and does not have negative experiences in a pet crate, a small crate like a pet taxi can be a great place to keep her safe during fireworks. It keeps her from running around, escaping the house, or hurting herself or others because she is confined in a small space.  It also has the added benefit of helping her to feel secure and cozy. Try putting her favorite treat or toy in the crate along with a blanket or towel that smells like you. However, if your cat does not like to be crated, now is not the time to try to get her to use one. A highly agitated cat will only panic more if you put her in a crate against her will.
Summary: Close all doors and windows. Get your cat to go into a room far away from the fireworks. Do not try to hold her. Use a crate.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If your house is hot and stuffy, go somewhere you'll be able to feel a nice, cool breeze. Relaxing in the shade at your local park is a great way to pass the time while escaping the misery that can come with intense summer heat. Bring a book to read, a light picnic snack, or just chat with a few friends — it's up to you! Nothing makes ice-cold treats taste extra delicious like hot summer sunlight. Best of all, these sorts of frozen delicacies can be enjoyed at home or while out and about. For instance, a walk to an ice cream parlor is a great way to kill time when it's scorching out, but you can also buy ice cream or even make your own — it's up to you! A few cool desserts you may want to try include:  Ice cream Popsicles  Lemonade (or frozen lemonade) Snow cones The body loses heat in water much quicker than it loses heat in air. Taking a dip will cool you down rapidly. It doesn't matter where you swim — pools are just as good as lakes and oceans for getting cool. See our swimming safety articles before you get in the water. If you're swimming out in the sun, don't forget to apply sunscreen to prevent a painful sunburn. Get someone to help you get your back — being embarrassed is no reason to get burnt. Water balloons, squirt guns, and hoses are all great ways to get cool while having a little friendly competition. If you're just hanging out with a few friends, try dividing up your "weapons" and having a free-for-all. If you're in a big group, divide into teams and wage full-scale war. You may want to avoid this option if you live somewhere where water is scarce or a drought is occurring. This activity is entertaining, but it's a fairly wasteful use of water.
Summary: Hang out in the shade at the park. Treat yourself to a cool dessert. Go for a swim. Have a water fight.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You may want to put together scripts for what you will say at the beginning of a show and when you transition from one story to another. Put your content in order so you can read down the list. Whatever it is, make sure you enjoy it. You probably won't become rich from this endeavor. Spend your time discussing or promoting something you really care about; the reward will be in feeding your knowledge/humor/music to others. This is probably the biggest step for without your voice, your podcast doesn't exist. Talk in a consistent pace and show passion in your subjects. Read the scripts and don't forget to thank people for being part of the show. You can have the perfect podcast delivered, but sometimes technical glitches run the show, ruining all your hard work. Before you begin the actual recording session, take a few samples to test the software, mess with the volume controls, and just plain make sure everything is functioning. Make sure it's in MP3 format; a bit rate of 128 kbps is probably sufficient for a talk-show podcast, but podcasts featuring music will want bit rates of 192 kbps or better.  Do not use special characters (such as # or % or ?) in the file name. Open it up into your sound editor and edit out extra background noise or long periods of silence. Put in intro/outro music if you'd like. Of course, you can always save it as a WAV file first, to give you a master backup to work from if something were to go wrong. ) and give it album art. Either make it yourself, find some free, non-copyrighted images online, or have a friend make one for you. Be careful to name the audio file so that the name of the podcast and the date of the episode are clear. You may also want to edit the ID3 tags of the MP3 file to help people find and catalogue your podcasts. The feed must meet all industry standards for a valid 2.0 feed with enclosures. Try using a complete solution and service such as Libsyn, Castmate or Podomatic (see the external links below). For longer podcasts, you'll be paying a small fee.  The easiest way to do it is to use a blog. So hop on over to Blogger.com, Wordpress.com, or another blogging service, and start a blog with the title of your podcast. Don't make any posts just yet. If your host has limits on the amount of bandwidth you can use, you could incur overage charges if your podcast becomes very popular (fingers crossed!).  A feed acts like a "container" for the MP3 file that tells feed aggregator programs where to get new episodes. It can be done manually with some XML coding. It's similar to HTML. You can copy another RSS file and use the template to make your necessary modifications.
Summary:
Prepare your content. Record the audio for your podcast. Save the audio file to your computer desktop. Tag it, give it ID information (artist, album, etc. Create your RSS podcast feed.
