INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Even if you made a huge mistake, remember that everything is temporary. You might feel terrible right now, but this feeling will not last forever. Try to keep reminding yourself that the way you feel is only temporary and that should help you start to move forward. Almost everyone has had the experience of messing up something important. In fact, someone you know may have messed up something even worse, and this might put your own problem into perspective. Even if their experiences are different from yours, it will help just to talk, vent, and get things off your chest. If you are having trouble getting friends and family to listen, or if you’re unhappy with their responses to your problem, consider talking with a counsellor or therapist. In some situations, making a mistake may affect others, so you may need to apologize and it is best to make your apology right away. Think about whether your mistake was something that might have hurt someone else. If so, then prepare to apologize to that person. Try saying something like, “I am sorry for what I did. I realize that my actions affected you as well and I feel really bad about that. Can you forgive me?” Holding resentment against yourself will not make it easy to move forward either, so you will need to forgive yourself for what happened. You may find it hard to forgive yourself, but it should become easier with time.  Try writing yourself a letter that expresses understanding about what happened. Imagine that you are writing to yourself as a friend and be kind to yourself in the letter. Repeat “I forgive myself” as you go through your day. The more you say it, the easier it may be to believe it. You may have messed up option X, but keep in mind that you still have other options. Now you can explore those other options, and this process can be exciting. Make a list of new possibilities and courses of action. Allow yourself to dream about how rewarding the entries on your list might be. Planning for the future is a constructive way of moving on and it may help you to feel more in control of the situation.

SUMMARY: Put things into perspective. Reach out to your friends and family for support. Apologize if necessary. Forgive yourself. Make a new plan.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: " You may already be familiar with this term from Latin music and pop culture. This comes from informal terms for "mom," but it's not something you'll want to say to your actual mother. This term is used a lot like you'd use "baby," "honey," or "sexy" in English. It's an affectionate term for your lover or significant other — again, not your mom. The pronunciation here is roughly "mah-mee" (very similar to the English "mommy"). This is also commonly used by children to their mothers, but not in the flirtatious way. " In English, "old lady" is sometimes used as a slang term for someone's wife or girlfriend. You can do the same thing in Spanish with "vieja" (literally "old woman"). However, like in English, this isn't always the most polite way to refer to someone, so you may only want to use it when you're with your friends. The pronunciation here is "vee-AY-ha." The first syllable rhymes with "bee," the second with "play," and the third with "raw." Put the accent on the second syllable ("AY"). " This term is derived from the word for "boss" ("jefe"), but it's also sometimes used as an informal slang term for "mom." This is used both by children for their mothers and by spouses for their wives. The pronunciation here is "HEY-fah." The first syllable rhymes with "play" and the second with "raw." Remember that, in Spanish, js are pronounced like English hs. Adding "-ita" to the end of a word (or "-ito" if you're talking about a man) makes the word have a "cute," "little" quality. It's very similar to putting a "-y" at the end of a word in English (e.g., "mom" vs. "mommy"). This isn't very formal, so you'll want to use it mostly with people you're already comfortable around. If the word ends with a vowel, you will sometimes need to put a c before "-ita" or get rid of the vowel. Here is a good article on Spanish diminutives.  This is pronounced "EE-tah" (almost like "Rita" without the r). Below are a few examples of words from this article turned diminutive: Mamacita ("Mah-mah-SEE-tah") Viejita ("vee-ay-HEE-tah") Jefacita ("hay-fah-SEE-tah")

SUMMARY: Use "mami" as a flirtatious way to say "momma. Use "vieja" for "old lady. Try "jefa" or for something like "governess" or "boss woman. Use "-ita" as a diminutive.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Keeping track of weight gain or loss and general response to a the type of feed you give to your cattle will help you maintain them throughout the year. Also keep track of your cows requirements based on their reproductive cycles. You may need to change what you're feeding when its necessary according to what's available and what's not, and what your animals need. Remember, any drastic changes to feeds needs to be made gradually, like if you are switching from hay to silage or from coarse hay to pasture. This is especially important when switching from hay to grain. Also, introduce grain or any high-energy diet slowly (at a rate of only 1 to 2 pounds (0.45 to 0.91 kg) per day) to avoid bloat, grain-overload, or acidosis.  Acidosis is a common malady, caused when the diet is switched so rapidly that the microflora in the rumen have no time to "switch over." This causes a sudden decrease in pH level in the rumen and encourage lactic acid-producing bacteria to increase in population, further decreasing pH in the rumen. The animal will go off feed, have stinky grey foamy diarrhea, and can even die. Bloat is another malady that is dangerous to cattle when suddenly switched diets. Bloat is when the rumen is unable to release the gases that are formed from the process of fermentation, and cause discomfort to the animal, and even presses on the lungs and diaphragm leading to death by asphyxiation.  Bloat needs to be treated immediately to avoid such consequences.

SUMMARY:
Keep track of body condition. Do not suddenly switch diets on cattle.
