Problem: Article: A pregnant mare can be checked for pregnancy hormones to determine pregnancy. This is especially useful when the mare is too irritable for non-chemical methods of determining pregnancy or when the rectum is too small for physical evaluation. Have a veterinarian take a blood sample. The vet will send the blood sample to a laboratory and have it tested. Test the level of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) 40 to 100 days after your mare has been with a stallion. If your mare was pregnant but lost the fetus, the PMSG test may give inaccurate results. Analyze the level of oestrone sulphate 100 days after the breeding. Oestrone sulphate levels increase with the presence of a foal, but go back to normal if the fetus is aborted. When checking mares for pregnancy, oestrone sulphate can be found in the mare's urine. A urine test can be performed by a veterinarian or using a home test. Obtain a home pregnancy testing kit from a feed store or online. Test your breeding mare's urine 110 to 300 days after they have been with a stallion. Cut a 1 gallon (3.8L) or 2-liter liquid container in half with a knife. Use the bottom to collect your mare's urine. Follow the directions on the pregnancy test kit to analyze your mare's urine. It takes 10 minutes to obtain the results. Using chemical-based tests can indicate that your mare is pregnant, but it is good to have another test performed by a vetwhether chemical or non-chemicalto ensure the foal has not slipped the foetus. Also, chemical-based tests are sometimes used improperly, so a positive result should be confirmed by a veterinarian.
Summary: Have a blood test performed on your mare. Give your breeding mare a urine test. Confirm pregnancy test results.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you prefer to have something that you keep in your pants and looks more like a penis, you can use a packer. Packers are silicon penis shaped objects that you can put in your pants. Using a packer can be a more subtle way to STP, than using a more basic device, such as the medicine spoon. You can buy packers from numerous stores online. Search for "packers" and choose the size and colour you want. You can get a packer for around $10-$15. Ensure you buy a soft packer. You can make a packer into an STP device cheaply and quite easily at home. To do this you will also need to get a medicine spoon, and some relatively narrow plastic tubing. The tubing must be narrow enough to get through the penis, but wide enough so that you can attach it to the medicine spoon without any leaks. 3/8s of an inch is good size tubing to use. You can get this from your local hardware store. Trim down the medicine spoon, and firmly attach the tubing to the end of it. The medicine tube and tubing will be the channel your pee travels down, through the packer to the urinal. You need to get this tube through the packer, and to do this you need to make a hole in the packer. You can use any long sharp object, such as a screwdriver, or a tent peg. Make sure the object you are using to make the hole is longer than the packer. Carefully but firmly push the screwdriver through the packer, taking care to ensure that it comes out around where the urethra is. Once you have skewered the packer, leave the screwdriver in there. If you are struggling to pierce the packer, you can try heating the piercing device first. Now place the tubing and spoon over the end of the screwdriver and work it back through the hole you have just made in the packer. This will take some careful manoeuvring and some brute force, but it will go through eventually. Soft packers are very malleable so they will stand being squeezed and pushed around while you get the tubing through. Once you have gotten the tubing through, the medicine spoon end, which you will pee into, should be protruding sufficiently to use. The end of tube should be the right at the front end of the penis, where the urethra is. You may need to roll the end of the packer back a little when you use it to ensure that the tubing is sticking out of the packer enough to avoid any accidents.

SUMMARY: Buy a packer. Get a medicine spoon and some plastic tubing. Make a hole in the packer. Push the tubing through.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Whether you notice symptoms in you or your child, see the doctor as soon as you can. It's also important to go if you notice a sudden increase in one issue, such as falling or clumsiness, as that could be an indicator of this condition. Make a list of symptoms to take with you. Note how frequently they happen. That way, you won't forget anything while at the doctor's office. Most forms of MD have a genetic component, so your doctor will want to know if it runs in your family. Talk to your doctor if any family members have had specific types of MD. Before doing anything else, the doctor is likely to check you over physically. They'll do things like listen to your heart and breathing, as well as take your blood pressure. The doctor may also ask you or your child to walk so they can check out you or your child's gait. The first test your doctor is likely to run is a blood test. They'll be looking for 2 types of enzymes. The first one, serum creatine kinase, indicates the muscles are deteriorating when at high levels. The second one, serum aldolase, converts sugar into energy, and when your levels of it are high, it can point to muscle weakness. The blood test is also used to determine whether you are carrying the gene for a specific type of MD. Before going to the doctor's office, drink extra water. It's easier for them to take blood when you're hydrated.
Summary: Schedule an appointment if you notice symptoms. Discuss your family history with the doctor. Be ready for a physical examination. Expect a blood test.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: While you may not be able to afford to shop at Prada or Louis Vuitton, you can still visit other places that celebrities also frequent. In L.A., locales like the Brentwood Farmers Market and Whole Foods are often frequented by celebrities doing their shopping. Stores usually don't look kindly on people who loiter without making purchases. Buying something from the store, even if it's small or inexpensive, will help ensure that you don't make yourself unwelcome. Press conferences and premiers often run late, so if you arrive in the morning, you may see the celebrity leaving for work. Lingering in the hotel lobby may get you in trouble, so consider having a drink in the hotel bar. Sit so that you can see who comes in and out of the hotel. Don't be disappointed if you don't see the person coming into or leaving the hotel. Many large hotels with a celebrity clientele have back entrances to protect their privacy. If you have attended a concert, ask where the tour vans are located, and try to get in that area. Many bands pack up quickly after the show, but some people may be hanging around and could introduce you. Become a waiter at their favorite restaurant, a bartender at their regular bar, or a personal trainer at their gym. Working an eight hour shift greatly increases the odds you will be there when they are there. Make sure to get a job that lets you interact with the patrons. Jobs like valet parking and coat check, while not particularly exciting, are likely to put you in contact with celebrities dining out or staying in hotels. Always be professional. Most employers at places that celebrities frequent will not look kindly at potential harassment of their famous clientele. It's fine to start up a chat or even ask for a photograph under the right circumstances, but if you become a nuisance you're not likely to keep your job.
Summary:
Visit places that celebrities also visit. Wait outside the hotel where you know they are staying. Wait near the tour vans for musicians. Get a job near where celebrities spend their time.
