INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For many types of ants, queens are much larger than regular worker ants. If you stumble upon an ant that appears unusually large, there's a good chance this is the queen. The ant will be noticeably bigger than the surrounding ants, or other ants you have seen. Think about the type of ants you have as well. With leaf-cutter ants, the queen is particularly likely to be bigger than the worker ants. However, with fire ants and carpenter ants, workers themselves come in many different sizes. This may make it difficult to differentiate between the queen and worker ants based on size alone. In many ant colonies, the queen is born with wings. During many parts of a queen's adult life, she will need to fly to find a new colony for mating. An ant with wings may very well be the queen ant. Some male ants do have wings, but they tend to be slightly less noticeable. The types of male ants that have wings will generally look more slender and wasp like than a queen, who will generally be larger. Queens do shed their wings at a certain point in their lifespan. If you lean down and look at the central portion of the ant's body, you may see small bumps jutting from either side of the ant's body. These are wing attachment points, a sign that the ant once had wings. As queens shed their wings, wing attachment points are a good sign you've found the queen. The thorax is the part of an ant's body that bridges the neck and abdomen. Queen ants will generally have a larger, bulkier thorax than worker ants. As a queen's thorax once supported wings, it will be much bulkier and more muscular than a worker ant's body. A queen's thorax makes up more than half its body size. This is much larger than the thorax of a regular ant.

SUMMARY: Look at the size of the ant. See if there are wings on the ant. Look for signs the ant has shed its wings. Examine the thorax.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: First, pull the bulb away from your bra or surgical wrap. Pull the stopper out of the end of the bulb. Turn it over, and squeeze the liquid into the measuring cup. Avoid touching the part of the stopper that goes inside the bulb, as well as the end of the bulb where you pulled the stopper out. Turn the bulb back over. Squeeze it together with your hand, flattening it out. Put the stopper back in while you have it squeezed together. Place the bulb back in your bra or wrap. Some people also use a fanny pack to hold the bulb. After measuring out the fluid, write down how much you drained. Your doctor will need this information to assess how you're doing with your recovery. Also, note the color of the fluid. Pour the liquid into the toilet, and flush it away. Rinse out the cup for later use. Repeat the process for each drain you have, if you have more than 1. When the bulb has filled up, you need to empty it. You'll likely need to perform this procedure 2 to 3 times per day, depending on how much fluid you're draining. Always wash your hands before and after touching your drain.

SUMMARY: Empty the drain as instructed. Replace the stopper and the bulb. Write down the measurement. Pour the liquid away. Repeat when the drain is full.

SUMMARY: Open the Terminal. Type uptime -p and press Enter.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will need to purchase a ten gallon tank for one or two toads. You should generally not put more than three toads together in a tank, as many toads can become aggressive. Do not house different kinds of toads together. Substrate is ground covering that is specifically made for terrariums. Putting at least three inches of substrate down on the floor of your terrarium will allow your toad to burrow when he feels like hiding. The type of substrate will depend on your specific type of toad. In general 'frog moss', which is sold at pet stores, makes for good covering, as does additive-free potting or topsoil purchased at a garden store. Pulverized coconut fiber is also an excellent form of substrate. If in doubt about which type of substrate you should buy, ask an amphibian specialist at a reptile or pet store. Do not use artificial turf or gravel, as these ground coverings are too harsh for your toad's delicate skin. You can choose which sort of hiding spots you would like to give your toad. You could put a stone, tree bark, or piece of slate down that your toad could burrow under. Other toad owners prefer to buy a store-made hiding places or to provide their toad with an empty coconut shell to climb into. The pool should be roughly half the toad's height and four times as long as your toad. It is very important that the water you use to fill the pool is dechlorinated--toads can die if given chlorinated water. Make sure that there is a ramp of some kind that the toad can walk up when he is done frolicking in the water, as toads are relatively poor swimmers. An easy way to make a water bath for your toad is to buy a shallow plastic bowl. Make a hole in the substrate so that the bowl's mouth is level with the rest of the substrate on the floor of the terrarium. Put a sturdy plank of some kind into the bowl so that your toad can get in and out of the water easily. Again, the temperature you keep your toad's tank at will depend on the type of toad you are housing. A toad's preferred temperature can range from 65F to 82F (18C to 27C), depending on the type of toad you have. It is advisable to place a reptile heating pad under one end of the tank if your variety of toad needs heat. Putting the pad under one end of the tank allows the toad to choose to be either on the heated side or the cooler side. For your toad's specific temperature needs, check with your local reptile and amphibian store. Toads should have roughly 12 hours of 'sunlight' each day. Use a daylight lamp or a low UV level lamp, but only you have provided your toad with hiding places (so he can get away from the light if he feels like it.) If you want to be able to see your toad at night, you can install a red lamp to light up his home at night. Toads are most active at night. Toads can't see red light, so they will think they are moving around in the dark but you will still be able to see them. While toads do not enjoy the water as much as true frogs do, they still need a relatively moist habitat. Use a mist bottle daily to mist one side of the tank (the side with the water bowl) so that the toad can choose whether he wants to be on wet or dry terrain. Only use water that you are positive is chlorine free!

SUMMARY:
Get a properly sized container. Buy substrate that your toad will enjoy. Give your toad some hiding spots. Give your toad a swimming pool. Keep your toad's home at the right temperature. Use the right sort of lights to keep your toad happy. Make sure the terrarium has enough moisture.
