Problem: Article: Move your sleeping dog so it is lying on its belly with its head and paws straight. If your dog insists on sleeping on its side, put a pillow under its head so its neck is straight. This may increase air flow. A round bed may encourage a curled position, which should also help. Wash the bedding once or twice a week to clear away dust and other allergens. Vacuum carpet and curtains regularly. Dry air can irritate the nose and throat and increase the amount or severity of snoring. If you live in an arid climate, run a humidifier in the room where your dog sleeps. Alternatively, increase the humidity by hanging damp laundry to dry, or leaving open containers of water in the room, with plenty of surface area. Keep your dog and your dog's bedding away from sources of smoke and dust. If the dog frequently sneezes or has a stuffy nose, try walking it on routes away from heavy traffic. Track pollen count in your area online or in the newspaper, and avoid morning walks on days when the pollen count is high. Pollen count is usually highest from 5am to 10am, and at its lowest in the early afternoon. Veterinary, scientist, and government organizations discourage the use of homeopathic treatments instead of vet-recommended treatments. More concentrated, herbal treatments should not be used on your dog without a vet's advice, especially if the treatment is designed for humans. Dogs can react badly to substances that are harmless to humans.
Summary: Adjust the dog's position. Clean the bedding. Add moisture to the air. Minimize allergens. Be cautious about other treatments.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: One way to develop an appreciation for cinema is to watch a lot of different ones. For example, IMDB has compiled a list of moves that all cinephiles should watch. Set up a weekly schedule to make sure you watch this many movies the next 12 months. For example, you could make a goal of watching two films per week. You could follow the IMBD list, or compile your own list. The goal is to become familiar with many different kinds of movies. Make sure that when making your list of movies, you select ones you wouldn't normally watch. This is similar to when you are in school and must read books that you would never have picked out. It is an important part of being a well-rounded cinephile. For example, if you tend to watch only romantic comedies that everyone knows about, watch some foreign films that few have heard of. Be sure to include films from the past as well as the present. Learning how film has changed over the years also makes you well-rounded. For example, the job of a film critic is not to like or dislike a film, but to analyze how well it is executed based on a set of standards. View a film with an eye for criticism rather than personal taste. Just as art majors must study the history of art in order to understand modern art, cinephiles should study film history to gain a well-rounded perspective on modern film. Watching the silent film The Great Train Robbery can help you appreciate how much film has changed. You should also watch great historic films like Casablanca, Citizen Kane, or Psycho. Take film classes in college or community centers to learn what others view as important historical film. There are important eras of film just as there are important eras in history. Understanding film eras can help you understand the social context of each film, deepening your appreciation. For example, the silent film era is important for its differences in sound and cinematography from modern film. It is common to study films by decade, such as 1950s films and 1960s movies. It is also essential to grasp the concept of film genres. Just as there are genres of great literature, there are genres of film. You might study action films, adventure movies, and so on. Other genres include comedy, crime, horror, science fiction, and westerns. Film festivals occur all over the world and offer a wide assortment of movies. You can watch the films in theaters during the festival and discuss them afterward with fellow critics and cinephiles. This is a way to increase your knowledge base in just a few days. The Sedona International Film Festival occurs in Sedona, Arizona, and the famous Sundance Film Festival occurs in cities all over the world.

SUMMARY: Set a goal to watch 100 great films in a year. Pick up movies you wouldn't usually watch. Watch important historic films. Understand film eras. Learn about genres. Go to film festivals.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Pat the area dry with a towel. Use pure, undiluted tea tree oil. Tea tree oil has been known to cause contact dermatitis and skin irritation for some people. If you have sensitive skin, buy diluted tea tree oil or dilute it yourself using aloe vera gel, jojoba oil, or honey. A bandage will help keep the tea tree oil from rubbing off while you're sleeping or going about your day. Apply the tea tree oil once before bed and once in the morning for convenience. You may begin to see a reduction in the size of the wart after three days, or it could take almost two weeks to see any difference.
Summary: Wash the wart and the surrounding skin using soap and warm water. Use a clean cotton swab to apply a drop of tea tree oil to the wart. Put a bandage over the wart. Repeat the process twice daily.

Like starting a conversation for dating, you should always check out his profile for common ground, even if you're trying to become friends. If it doesn't have public information, ask him about it. If you just want a friend, you don't want to send a signal that you want something more. In other words, don't flirt. You don't want to comment it on his cute eyes if you just want to be friends. Say why you're contacting the person and what you want: "Hi, my name is Jake, and I'm looking for new friends in the area." People like to talk about themselves, so ask him about what he likes and who he is. As an example, you could say, "Hi, I noticed your profile today, and I found it interesting. Can you tell me more about yourself?" When beginning a conversation, open-ended questions (questions that require more than a "yes" or "no" to answer) encourage the conversation to continue. For example, instead of asking "Do you like books?" ask him "What kind of books do you like to read?" For instance, if you both like basketball, focus on that. For instance, you could say, "Hi, I'm Ashley. I see you love playing basketball. I love to shoot hoops, too. Did you play for your high school or college team?" That is, use "howdy" or "what's up?" as opposed to "hi" or "hello." Studies done by OkCupid show a person is more likely to respond to an unusual word.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are lots of different types of Ziploc bags, but the type that work the best for pencil cases are the 1-quart (0.95 L) bags made from thicker plastic. It would be even better if the bag has a slider on the top. This will make it more zipper-like and easier to use. Avoid using a regular, sandwich-sized bag, as it may not be big enough for your pens and pencils.
