Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take your ferret for annual vet visits. Train your ferret to use the litter box. Hold your ferret with 2 hands at all times. Speak in low, soft tones to your ferret. Give your ferret time outside of its cage. Provide a variety of hard plastic toys both inside and outside the cage. Play with your ferret for a minimum of 30 minutes each day. Monitor all interactions with children and other pets. Bathe your ferret once every 6 months or annually.

Answer: Like most other animals, ferrets need to be checked out by a vet at least yearly. At these visits your vet will do a general physical check-up of your ferret. They will also ask you if your ferret has been suffering from any health or behavioral problems. Your vet will keep your ferret on a standard vaccination schedule, including yearly rabies shots. Many jurisdictions require these shots for domestic pets. Watch to see where your ferret goes to the restroom when in the cage. Place the litter box in this same location. Then, put a few fresh droppings into the box, so that it smells like a restroom for your ferret. Most ferrets will quickly start using the box. If your ferret refuses to use the box, then experiment with changing out the litter to another type of plant fiber. Ferrets might seem like sturdy little creatures, but they are actually quite fragile. When you pick up or hold your ferret, place 1 hand underneath its chest and use another to cup its hindquarters. Don't ever grab your ferret by its tail. You can also keep your ferret secure by using 1 hand to hold its hindquarters, while using your other hand to gently grasp the scruff behind your ferret's neck. Because of their acute sense of hearing, you are likely to cause your ferret to panic if you raise your voice. This can make them wiggle, or even try to bite you, if they are being held. Instead, make a habit of using a calm, soothing voice when interacting with your ferret. This is a great way to build trust. When ferrets are awake, they are extremely curious and interested in their surroundings. Let your ferret roam around a ferret-proofed room or space for at least a few hours each day. Make sure that you supervise this time, just in case your ferret gets into trouble. To make a space safe for your ferret, check for any holes or gaps where it might hide or get stuck. Remove any medications or other substances which could poison your ferret. Put away small items, such as remotes, which (if broken) could constitute a choking hazard. Ferrets can chew through rubber or fabric toys quite easily. Whiffle golf balls, baby rattles, or even Nylabones are safer options that last longer. Put 2-3 toys in your ferret's cage and have a few available in any play spaces as well. Inspect each toy every week and replace any that are torn or otherwise damaged. Wipe down toys with a clean wet rag about once per week as well. Ferrets are highly intelligent and thrive on human contact. Playing with your ferret can be as simple as gently rolling a few plastic balls in front of it. Or, you can get more elaborate and teach your ferret to come when called, roll over, or even fetch. The key to teaching tricks to your ferret is repetition. Repeat the same request over and over again, providing treats, such as cooked chicken pieces, when your ferret gets it right. Most ferrets have a friendly personality, but they can bite if they feel threatened or if they believe that you are offering them food. For those reasons, it's best if you hold the ferret when children are around. It's also a good idea to limit the interactions between ferrets and other family pets, such as cats or dogs. Because ferrets have such fragile bones, even a small dog can easily cause them injury. You can also wait to bathe your ferret until it is dirty due to a spill or illness. Bathing your ferret too often can dry out its skin and prompt over-activated stink glands, which can cause even more ferret smell. Use ferret shampoo, which can be found at a pet store. Your ferret's coat is important to its health. If its coat is soft, full and doesn't have an unusually smelly odor, then your ferret is healthy.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start with words that are borrowed from English. Learn basic greetings. Read stories written in Igbo. Listen to Nigerian popular music.

Answer: There are many words in Igbo that are borrowed from English. Although they may have a slightly different spelling and pronunciation, they'll be some of the easiest words for you to pick up if you already know English. For example, "congratulations" in Igbo is kongratuleshon. When you have basic greetings down, you can start a conversation with native speakers. Conversing with native speakers can help you increase your vocabulary as well as understanding common words and phrases used. Start with the basic greeting, "hello": kedu. Other common phrases said in greeting are built from this word. For example, "How are you?" is "Kedu ka o di?" To ask a person's name, you would say "Kedu aha gi?" Reading can also help you build vocabulary because you can see the words and learn what they mean in context. Children's stories and books can be helpful because they are often illustrated. The pictures can give you a clue as to what the words mean. Columbia University has a collection of Igbo language materials available at http://www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/pritchett/00fwp/igbo_index.html. While a lot of the popular Nigerian music has lyrics in Yoruba, one of the 4 official languages of the country, Igbo-language music has also broken into the mainstream. The rhythm of music and the repetitiveness of lyrics makes music an easy way to learn any language. Additionally, you can have music on in the background while you're doing other things. Identify artists you enjoy, then search for songs and videos on sites such as YouTube.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Open the MiraLAX bottle and look inside the cap. Fill the cap with MiraLAX up to the marked 17-gram line. Pour the MiraLAX into 48floz (120240ml) of your chosen liquid. Stir the mixture to dissolve the powder, then drink it all fairly quickly. Use MiraLAX once a day for up to 7 consecutive days.

Answer:
All bottles of MiraLAX come with lids that double as measuring cups. While the outside of the cap is purple, the underside is white up to a line that is marked for 17 grams, which is the proper single dosage for MiraLAX. Get a box of single-dose MiraLAX packets so you don't have to measure it out every time. Generic brands of MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol 3350) usually have a measuring cup inside the cap as well, although the particular setup may vary. The standard dose is always 17 grams, though. Pour the fine, white powder into the cap until it fills the white section of the cap's underside. Gently tap or shake the cap in order to level out the powder and make sure it's at the 17-gram line. If you somehow misplace the bottle's lid, 17 grams is roughly equivalent to 3.5 teaspoons or 1 heaping tablespoon. If you have a box of single-use packets, simply pour the contents of a single packet into your chosen beverage (see below). Do not take a larger dose of MiraLAX unless instructed by your doctor. Talk to a doctor before giving a child under 17 any amount of MiraLAX. MiraLAX can be taken with hot, cold, or room temperature liquids. You need at least 4floz (120ml) of liquid to fully dissolve a single dose, but you'll get the best results with a full 8floz (240ml) glass, which is about the size of a coffee cup. MiraLAX is practically flavorless and non-gritty, so it's fine to take it with plain water. You can also try tea, coffee, or juice. Don't mix MiraLAX into alcoholic beverages. Also, mixing it into carbonated beverages (like soda) may cause them to bubble over when you stir the mixture. Use a spoon to give your cup of liquid a quick stir, until you no longer see flecks of MiraLAX in it. Drink the entire cup or glass within the next 10-15 minutes. It is not recommended to combine the mixture and then drink some or all of it later since it will thicken and be hard to drink. Wait until you can drink the full amount before mixing it. You don't have to "chug" the mixture, though. Just take normal sips over several minutes until you drink it all. Make sure to stir your glass in between sips so the MiraLAX doesn't settle on the bottom. MiraLAX is formulated and labeled for use no more than once per day. You don't have to take it at the same time every day, but you shouldn't take more than 1 dose per day without the approval of your doctor. You should also not take MiraLAX for more than 7 days in a row without consulting your doctor. If you've taken it every day for a week, stop there until you are able to speak to your doctor.
