INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Leave enough room to combine the crumbs with the butter (so it doesn't spill out during the mixing process). When melting the butter, keep an eye on it so it doesn't come to a boil, otherwise it could scorch. Continue re-heating for 10 seconds until it has melted. If melting the butter in the microwave, put the timer on for 10 seconds and check it before attempting to microwave it again. Mix the butter into every crumb until it thickens. Using clean fingertips, form the crust by placing gentle pressure on the crust. Pinch the ends at the top.

SUMMARY: Place the Oreo baking crumbs in a large mixing bowl. Melt the butter on the stovetop or in the microwave. Add butter to the Oreo baking crumbs and combine. Pour into an ungreased pie plate and press down along the bottom and the sides.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Practice, practice, practice! To improve your singing voice, it is important to practice every day. Think of singing as an exercise for a voice. If you take a long break from exercising, you'll be a sweaty, panting mess next time you try to exercise again. Even if you only have time to practice warm-ups in the car on the way to work, that is okay. If possible, set aside specific times every day for practice. It's best to practice for multiple short sessions than a single long session. For instance, practice from 9-9:15, 11-11:15, and 1-1:15 every day. Instrumentalists may be able to practice for hours at a time, but that isn't the case for singers. An overused, strained voice is not a happy voice. Try to practice anywhere between 30 and s60 minutes a day. You should not practice for more than 60 minutes. If you're feeling ill or tired, give your voice some more downtime. Do not push yourself if you feel that you can't practice for 30 minutes. Spend the time you do practice wisely and intentionally so you can get a lot done within 10-15 minutes. There are also a few at-home vocal training courses out there, such as Singing Success, Sing and See, Singorama, and Vocal Release. They are not as pricey as in-person vocal lessons, but be sure to do your research to see which ones have worked for other singers. If you are dedicated to singing, consider taking professional lessons. Find a vocal coach or qualified voice teacher who can help you become the singer you want to be. Check with your local music store or your school music teacher for trustworthy references. Lessons can be costly. Consider how important singing is to you before signing up for lessons. If you cannot afford a teacher, or do not want the dedication that comes with hiring a professional voice coach, consider joining a local choir. You might associate choirs with church, but you can find them across a number of different organizations. Choirs are a great way to learn about singing and meet cool people who share your love for music at the same time. Keep in mind that you may have to audition to join the choir. Relax, and do your best. You've got this! Record yourself singing and save the recording. Then, work on your voice consistently over the next 3 months. After that time, record yourself singing the same song and compare the 2 recordings. You'll be able to see where you've improved and what you still need to work on.

SUMMARY: Set aside daily time for singing. Practice for a short amount of time. Purchase an at-home singing course. Take lessons from a professional. Join a local choir. Check your progress over time.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A fever can be a sign of a very serious infection and needs immediate treatment. Check to see if your dog appears very tired or sleeps more than usual. Your dog may also show no interest in eating food or drinking water. It may be sluggish and have a lack of interest in going for a walk or playing. Your dog's temperature can only be measured with an ear or rectal thermometer made for animals. This is an invasive procedure and should only be done by your vet. Your vet will know how to keep your dog calm and relaxed as they take its temperature. A dog with a temperature of 104F (40C) or higher is considered in serious medical danger and needs to be treated right away. They may look at your dog's tongue, ears, and eyes to see if there is any sign of infection. They may also test your dog's urine and blood to see if it has been exposed to a toxic or poisonous substance. The vet may ask you questions about your dog's medical history to determine what might be causing the fever. Your vet will prescribe an oral medication for your dog to help bring down its body temperature. Once the fever has gone down, your vet may recommend other treatment options, depending on your dog's condition. Your vet can give you suggestions on how to get your dog to ingest the oral medication. Your vet may recommend that you leave your dog at the vet's office for several hours or overnight so they can monitor your dog's temperature. If your dog's fever does not go down with the help of medication, your vet may suggest other treatment options or run more tests to determine the cause.

SUMMARY: Bring your dog to the vet as soon as you notice the fever. Let the vet take your dog's temperature. Allow the vet to examine your dog. Get prescription medication to bring down your dog's fever. Let the vet monitor your dog's condition.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Communicating with your child is important. You want your child to feel comfortable talking to you about social media and their experiences on it, along with feeling like they can come to you if they has a problem. Open the lines of communication so your child will feel comfortable coming to you about any problems. Explain to your child about being safe on social media. Tell them not to give out personal details, like their full name, the name of their school, their phone number or their address. Help them understand the importance of not posting inappropriate pictures or updates. Make sure to have a discussion about the dangers of cyber predators and why they should never meet people they only know online in person. Talk to your child about what rules you have concerning social media. These rules can include anything you are concerned about. Examples include: Not allowing your child to post about where they are. Not allowing your child to post any personal details. Limiting the amount or kinds of photos your child posts. Setting an amount of time your child can spend on social media. Restricting which social media sites your child can become a member of. Only allowing your child to follow or friend people they know in person, like classmates or family members. Sharing their passwords for all accounts with you. You don't just need to worry about predators finding your child. You need to discuss with your child how to keep themselves safe from themselves. Posting embarrassing, questionable, or inappropriate pictures can cause potential colleges and employers to reject them. Posting status updates that are rude, offensive, or questionable can also come back to haunt them later. Make sure to discuss with your child that once they put something on social media, it is out in the world and difficult to remove or take back. Speak with your child openly about social media and encourage a trusting environment. Ask your child to talk to you about their social media usage and anything that makes them uncomfortable. If they make a mistake, turn it into a teaching moment instead of enacting a harsh punishment.

SUMMARY:
Have a conversation about social media safety. Set rules for your child. Discuss the repercussions of social media.
