INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Many Cockatoos love the water, and they will dive right into a bowl of lukewarm bowl of water if you provide it. The bowl should be very shallow, as they cannot swim and can drown in only inches of water. They'll also love showers, which you can provide with a shower head or a watering can. Just start sprinkling it on your bird, and you will see it light up with excitement. If your bird does not enjoy showers or water in general, do not fret it. Forcing it upon them will cause unhealthy stress reactions. Not showering will create more dander, but will not harm the bird. When showering your bird, make sure the shower stream isn't too strong. It's best to bathe or shower your bird out of its cage, so you don't get water all over the cage. To trim your bird's nails, first you'll need to get a powdered clotting agent and guillotine-type trimmer for cats or small dogs. Have a helper hold the bird with a towel over its head, grasping the bird's body gently but firmly in 2 hands. Examine the bird's feet and look for the quick, the small pink vein running through it. Clip off the end of the nail, avoiding the quick. If you hit the quick and your bird starts to bleed, put the clotting powder on it. You can find the powder at most drug stores and pet stores. You can also use corn starch. If you are worried about cutting too deeply you can also use a small Dremel tool such is used for cats and dogs, which uses a rotating disk of sandpaper. Use in short bursts to avoid the nail becoming too hot and burning the bird's toe. Trimming keeps your bird healthy and also keeps you from getting accidentally scratched. Your veterinarian can do this for you if you don't feel comfortable doing it. You shouldn't try to trim a bird's beak by yourself. You can cut it into the wrong shape or get severely bitten. Plus, your vet will know if it needs trimming or not, and sometimes, a long beak can indicate a health condition. Find a veterinarian who specializes in birds.

SUMMARY: Give your bird a shower or bath at least once a week, if they'll allow it. Trim the bird's claws every 3-6 months. Take your bird to the vet for beak trimming once a year.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are creams containing certain chemicals (i.e., salicylic acid, podophyllin, tretinoin, and cantharidin) that may be used to remove the bumps effectively. The creams are applied directly to each lesion. The cream Imiquimod helps strengthen the skin's immune system. This is sometimes used to treat the lesions. These creams do not always remove the bumps and they may be harmful. So be sure to consult with your doctor before using any of them. Using retinoid or another kind of antiviral medicine on the skin can help cure the molluscum outbreak in most healthy patients. This kind of topical treatment helps eliminate the virus, thereby reducing the lesions over time. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions for application. This is an oral medication prescribed by a doctor and most often given to children because it is less painful and can be performed at home where the patient is more comfortable. Unfortunately, facial lesions don't respond as well to this type of treatment as lesions in other parts of the body. As with most medicines, cimetidine may cause unwanted side effects such as headache, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, or depression.
Summary: Use topical creams. Apply an antiviral medication to the skin. Use cimetidine.

Use the key to start the car and turn the air conditioner on high. Feel the air coming out of the air conditioner and assess how warm, cool, or cold it is. If the air is warm to cool, but not cold as it should be, there may be an issue with air flow. Check to see if the cooling fans on your radiator are running. If they are not, there may be an electrical issue. You may need to replace the cabin air filter in your vehicle to increase air flow. You will need to ensure the air conditioner compressor is working to determine the correct course of action to make repairs if necessary. Locate the air conditioner in the engine bay and look to see if the center of the pulley is turning along with the pulley itself. There is a clutch that engages when the air conditioner is working. With the clutch engaged, the middle of the pulley will rotate along with the pulley itself. If the clutch does not engage, the A/C compressor may be broken and require replacement or it may just need to be filled with refrigerant. Most compressors have a wire leading to the electric clutch. Find the connector in the middle of that wire, and unplug it. Take a length of wire and run it from the compressor's wire to the positive (+) terminal of your battery. If you hear a loud CLACK, the electric clutch is functioning properly. If not, it will need to be replaced. Replacing your A/C compressor may require specialized tools. Bring your vehicle in for repairs if the compressor or clutch needs to be replaced. You can purchase leak detection kits to help you identify any leaks in your air conditioning system. These kits provide a dye that will run through the lines and seep out of any leaks or cracks, making them visible to the naked eye. Connect the leak detection can to the low side service port and spray it into the air conditioning system. If you spot any leaks, you will need to take the vehicle in for repairs. If you do not spot any leaks, the problem may simply be low refrigerant.

One-sentence summary -- Start the vehicle and turn on the air conditioner. Look to see if the A/C compressor is running. Check the wiring leading to the A/C compressor. Look for leaks in the air conditioning system.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're in the Southern Hemisphere, the North Star won't help you navigate. Instead, find true south using the Southern Cross constellation. This constellation is always visible in the Southern Hemisphere. The constellation is made up of 4 bright stars that form a kite shape if you trace the border around them. Outside the Southern Cross are 2 more bright stars known as the pointers. These are roughly parallel with the 2 stars in the Southern Cross that are closest together. The pointer stars are some of the brightest in the Southern Hemisphere. If you're having trouble finding the Southern Cross, locating the pointer stars is a good starting point. Two stars in the Southern Cross, Gacrux and Acrux, are the furthest apart in the constellation. Starting at the top, imagine a line extending between these 2 stars, and then continuing at the same angle outward. Hold a strong or a straight stick out in front of you to help envision a straight line. Depending on the time of year, this line may hit the ground since the constellation rotates along with Earth. The same way you drew an imaginary line from the Southern Cross, now find the midpoint between the pointers and extend a line outward. This line should intersect with the line you drew from the Southern Cross. That intersection point is true south. Use a natural landmark as a reference point. For instance, a tall tree in the distance could mark the intersection between the 2 lines, indicating where true south is. When you locate true south, it's simply a matter of turning around to find true north. Make sure you rotate exactly 180 degrees, or you'll be off-center and not facing true north.

SUMMARY:
Locate the Southern Cross constellation. Find the pointer stars. Draw an imaginary line down from the longest angle in the Southern Cross. Draw an imaginary line from the midpoint between the pointers. Turn around 180 degrees with your back facing south to find true north.
