Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Watch for the early symptoms Wrap the mare's tail Wash the horse's rear end Notice when the mare becomes restless.

Answer: of labor. The mare will start producing milk as early as 6 weeks before going into labor. In the week leading up to labor, you may see the tailhead lift up, as the vulva and croup muscles relax, and the teats will swell. Look for at teats several weeks ahead of delivery so you'll notice when they swell. The gestation period for a horse is 335 to 345 days, so if you're timing the pregnancy, that should give you some idea of when to watch for labor. Mares develop a waxy substance on the tip of the teat days or hours before the foal is born. IF you notice the wax, your mare is close to having the foal. with a tail bandage. The tail can introduce bacteria during the birth, and using a tail bandage covers up the tail. Essentially, you wet the tail down and wrap a bandage around starting from the top of the tail like you would someone's ankle. You keep wrapping and then tuck the end of the bandage into itself. That protects both the mare and the foal from being contaminated. You can do this in the day or so before you suspect the mare will give birth. Make sure the wrap isn't too tight at the base of the tail or else you could kill the horse's skin there. and vulva with soap and water. Doing so will help reduce bacteria in the area. Use a mild soap and gently rub it into the udder, hindquarters, and vulva area of the horse. Rinse thoroughly to get rid of the soap. The vulva is the outside part of your horse's reproductive system. To find it, look under the tail. Directly under the tail will be the anus and just below that will be the vulva, which will look like a long slit. Wear gloves while rinsing off the horse. Work from the vulva outwards so you don't drag dirt or bacteria near it. Diluted betadine solution and cotton gauze work the best for cleaning. This behavior often means the mare is in the first stage of labor. She may move around a lot, lay down and get up again, and raise her hooves at her tummy. She may also start sweating and urinate frequently. The symptoms may appear similar to colic. This first stage may only be a few minutes, but it can last as long as a couple of hours. Give the mare space and watch it from a distance away so it doesn't get frightened during birth.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create a childhood backstory. Write short pieces about the character's recent past. Make the backstory complex and immersive. Avoid a long backstory. Connect the backstory to the character's present.

Answer: Begin at the beginning of the character's life. Create a backstory that includes key moments from the character's childhood. Pick specific moments and events from childhood that are particular to the character. The childhood backstory should include experiences that are defining and significant to the character. For example, if your character is struggling with their relationship with their father in the present of the main story, you may write a backstory that includes childhood memories with the character's father. The backstory may show how damaging the character's childhood was because of their father. If you do not want to go all the way back to childhood, you can write short pieces about events that happened before the character's present in the story. Create short pieces that focus on key moments or events in the character's recent past. Think about how the character's past interacts with the present as you write these short sections or pieces. For example, if you have a main character who is depressed and anxious with their partner, you may write a backstory about a recent miscarriage they experienced. Or you may write a backstory about a bad fight the character had last week with their mother. The backstory is not an excuse to simply dump information onto the reader. Instead, it should be just as complex and immersive as the main story. Make the backstory specific to the character. Try to immerse your reader in the details of the backstory so it feels like part of the main story. For example, rather than write a backstory like, "I hated my father. He was absent most of the time and I never got over it," make it more detailed and complex. You may write instead, "When I was a boy, my father worked fifteen hours a day. Then, he came home and went straight into his study, where he drank until morning. I said maybe ten words to him throughout my childhood." When it comes to a backstory, shorter is often better. As you write the backstory for a character, try to keep it as short and to the point as you can. Though it may be tempting to go on about a character's past, having a long backstory can often distract the reader from present events and bog down your narrative. This is especially important if you are writing a short story, as the form usually does not call for a long backstory. If you are writing a longer piece like a novel, you may have more room to include more of a backstory. As you write the backstory, try to always connect it back to the character's present in the story. Write a backstory that relates to the character's current conflict or problem. The backstory should deepen the emotions or feelings the character is having in the present. For example, if you are writing a story about a character dealing with a break up, do not include a backstory about her childhood pet. Instead, you may include a backstory about her relationship with her former partner to deepen the emotions she is feeling in the present.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Exercise for 30 to 60 minutes every day. Build muscle. Do aerobics. Move around every day.

Answer: Depending on your health and physical abilities, this could be anything from a walk to a run or swim, to going to the gym and lifting weights. The key for weight loss is to get your heart rate up to between 75% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. Increasing your muscle mass will boost your resting metabolism, meaning that you will burn more calories even when sedentary. Lift weights, do yoga, or take up pilates. Any type of strength training will build muscle and help you lose weight. Be sure to give yourself at least a day off between weight-training sessions so that your muscles have time to rest repair themselves. High-intensity exercise will keep you burning more calories, longer, than low to moderate intensity workouts. Aim for an intense aerobics class or bursts of jogging or running during your walks. Beyond exercising and building muscle, you can boost your weight loss by simply moving around more every day. Walk around when you're talking to a friend on the phone. Lift weights while watching TV. Go for a walk with a friend instead of sitting and having a drink.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Flatten the burgers and brush them with oil. Grill the burgers on one side. Flip the burgers and cook on the other side. Allow the burgers to stand for several minutes. Place the burgers on buns with toppings and serve. Finished.

Answer:
When you're ready to grill the burgers, press down on each to flatten it to a 4-inch (10-cm) patty. Use a basting brush to lightly cover each burger with canola oil to prevent it from sticking to the grill. Remember to brush both sides of the burgers with the oil. Place the burgers on the preheated grill. Allow them to cook on the first side for 3 minutes. While the total overall cooking time for the burgers depends on how done you want them, you should always cook them for 3 minutes on the first side regardless of whether you want them medium-rare or well-done. Once you've cooked the burgers for 3 minutes on the first side, use a spatula to turn them over on the grill. Let them cook for another 4 to 7 minutes depending on how done you want the burgers. For medium-rare burgers, cook the burgers for another 4 minutes. For medium burgers, cook the burgers for another 5 minutes. For medium-well burgers, cook the burgers for another 6 minutes. For well-done burgers, cook the burgers for another 7 minutes. Once the burgers are finished cooking, transfer them from the grill to a plate. Let the burgers sit for 3 to 5 minutes to ensure that they are juicy when it's time to eat. When you're ready to serve the burgers, place each one on a hamburger bun or roll. Add your favorite toppings, such as lettuce and tomato, and condiments, such as ketchup or barbecue sauce, and enjoy. You may want to toast the buns on the grill before putting the burgers on them. Serve the burgers immediately after topping them for the best flavor and texture.
