As you stand with the horse's rump to your left, you are facing towards the horse's tail. Stroke the horse with your left hand (holding the thermometer in your right) and travel your hand down the horse's rump to the base of the tail. Gently grasp the tail base with your left hand and raise it sufficiently high to gain access to the anus. Peer around to get a good view, but without stepping behind the horse. Gently introduce the thermometer bulb into the anus. If the horse is "clenching," it helps to gently rotate the thermometer. This may help the thermometer to gently slide past the clenched muscles of the anus. Alternatively, wait a few seconds. Most horses don't clench their anal muscles for long, so once he relaxes, slide the thermometer right on in. You only need the bulb of the thermometer to be inside the anus. Do NOT slide the thermometer in beyond half the length of the thermometer neck. There is NO need to slide the whole of the thermometer into the rectum. This is how thermometers are lost internally! While some techniques advocate tying string to the thermometer in case of internal slippage, this is NOT advisable. If the thermometer goes entirely internal and swings around 90 degrees, pulling on the string could damage the rectum. It is equivalent to trying to get a ladder through a door when it is full width across the door frame. It's just not going to work. Instead, you are better advised to be cautious with how far you advance the thermometer. As you insert the thermometer, keep talking with your horse to reassure him. Many horses may not enjoy the sensation and they will benefit from a soothing voice. Put slight pressure on the thermometer and push against the horse's near side (toward you). Don't do this too forcefully, just until there is a slight resistance. This will make sure that the tip of the thermometer rests against the rectal wall, not inside it. This is important so that the thermometer is not inserted into dung, as dung registers a higher temperature reading. A mercury thermometer will gradually increase, so you should wait until it has stopped increasing in temperature and is sitting at a constant temperature. A digital thermometer will beep when a reading has been established. This can take anywhere between 30 seconds and 2 minutes, depending on the time it takes for the temperature to become constant. Take the thermometer out by gently pulling it out of the horse's bottom at the same angle it went in. Make sure that you don't flick or pull too fast during the removal of the thermometer, as this will pull the dry skin around the thermometer. If you were to slip or let the thermometer slip, you could possibly lose or drop the thermometer, or hurt the horse. Be aware that some horses will pass gas during this process, so you might want to hold your breath. If you suspect that the horse has an elevated temperature, repeat the procedure another one or two times. This will ensure that you get a mean temperature rather than just one measurement. Sometimes, variables such as dung and a stalling thermometer may affect your results. Make sure the thermometer is turned off, or shaken down. Give the thermometer a good rub over with a disposable tissue or cotton wool. Soak a clean piece of cotton wool or tissue with rubbing alcohol and wipe it over the thermometer. This will disinfect the thermometer. Make sure to remove any manure which may have become attached to the thermometer. Track how your horse's temperature reacts depending on time of day, weather, and other circumstances. For example, in the early morning, the temperature should be slightly lower, whereas at night or late afternoon, the temperature will likely read higher. If you take your horse's temperature when he is not ill, then you'll have a baseline temperature with which to compare abnormal temperatures.

Q: Never make huge, drastic adjustments to your glasses all at once. It can often be harder to bend eyeglasses back into a proper position after a repair than it is to make the original adjustment. Make minor adjustments, check the glasses, and continue making minor adjustments until they are corrected. There are some styles of eyeglasses that are made with materials that can't be adjusted. Frames made of titanium, memory plastic or aluminum alloy are made so that the frame is resistant to bending, manipulation or adjustment.
A: Make minor adjustments. Learn about your frames.

Article: Exercising depletes the body of essential nutrients and fluids. In order to make your workout successful, you have to replace these to help your body recover and build muscle. Use the ingredients suggested in this section to put together a high-quality meal that will help you build muscle and avoid affecting your blood sugar. Protein is the essential ingredient for building muscle. While doing your weight training regimen, include proteins in every one of your meals to give your body the building blocks it needs to strengthen your muscles. There are many options for including protein in your diet. Nuts. Any kind of nut is high in protein. You can't go wrong including these in your meals or just snacking on them throughout the day. Beans. Not only do these give you a high dose of protein, but they have a low glycemic index, so they won't affect your blood sugar. If using canned beans, be sure to drain the liquid so you don't overdose on sodium. Fat-free dairy products. Milk and yogurt are great sources of protein. Have a glass of milk or a cup of yogurt for an easy dose of protein. Fish. Salmon, tuna, and herring are usually considered the best options for protein, but any fish will do as well. Make sure you avoid fried fish, however, or you'll consume saturated fats that could be harmful. You need carbohydrates in your diet because without them, your body will use protein for energy. This will divert protein from your muscles and you won't build any mass. Carbohydrates from bleached or enriched products like white bread have a high glycemic index and will raise your blood sugar. Whole wheat products, however, will give you non-enriched carbohydrates. Eat whole wheat bread, pasta, and cereals to give yourself a good serving of carbohydrates. It is a fallacy that we should cut fat out of our diets. While saturated and trans fats should be avoided, mono and polyunsaturated fats are beneficial for your health. They can reduce your cholesterol levels and also help you build muscle. Try some of these foods for good sources of good fats. Avocados. Fish. Salmon and sardines contain high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Olive oil. Seeds, especially sunflower, sesame, and pumpkin seeds.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Have a good meal after every workout. Eat plenty of protein. Get carbohydrates from whole wheat products. Consume good fats.
