INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use the middle horizontal line as a guide point to begin. The bottom of the nose should be at the same level as your middle horizontal line. Draw a round circle-like shape for the nose. You don't want the circle to connect at the top, so leave it open. Then add the nostrils. On either side of the circular nose, draw a "C" shape. One forward "C" for Santa's right nostril, and one backwards "C" for his left nostril. Draw two "S" shaped lines extending horizontally from the ends of each nostril. Then draw the bottom of the mustache by adding a few zig-zags underneath your "S" shaped curves. To help you keep the mustache even, place a small dot under the nose in the center. Then when you draw the bottom of mustache, draw your zig-zags so the lines meet at the dot. Then add two round lines starting at the top of the nose on each side. Bring these lines down to meet near the edge of the mustache. These are Santa's cheeks. Draw two large upside-down "U" shapes on top of the cheeks to form the eyes. If you'd rather have your Santa look a little less cartoony, you can draw two smaller circles above the cheeks for the eyes. These eyes won't be connected to Santa's cheeks and will give him a bit of a more realistic look. Add the pupils to the eyes. Inside the eyes, draw two circles. One larger for the white part of the eye, and one smaller one for the pupils. If you have room and want to, you can add smaller circles inside the pupils to make Santa's eyes look shiny. Color in the pupils. Draw two "S" shaped lines above the eyes, similar to what you drew for the top of the mustache. Then above your "S" shaped lines, draw two bushy zig-zagging lines for the tops of the eyebrows. Connect these lines to your "S" shaped lines to complete the eyebrows. If you don't have enough room to make Santa's eyebrows very bushy, you can draw two rounded rectangle shapes above his eyes. Begin by drawing zig-zagged lines on either side of Santa's head. Start the lines at the same height as the tops of his ears. Follow the outside of the oval shape you drew for Santa's head. You've already drawn the rough outline of Santa's beard, so now you just need to define it. The more zig-zagged your lines are the more cartoony the beard the beard will look. If you want the beard to look more realistic, draw softer "S" shaped lines. Continue down and have the beard lines meet in the middle of Santa's chest. Start drawing Santa's hat in between his eyebrows. Unlike Santa's eyebrows and mustache, you want to draw smaller circle-like lines for the fuzzy white part of the hat. Think of it like drawing small clouds. Then follow your original outline for Santa's head as you draw the top of his hat. Extend the line you draw for the bottom fuzzy part of the hat outward around the head, and have it meet by his ears. As you draw a curved line up to form the top of the hat, you can extend the top of the hat above your original outline for Santa's head to make it look proportional. On one side of his head, draw a curved line moving inward a bit. And instead of connecting it to the line of the hat from the other side, leave it unconnected. Then bring the other line over and past the other edge of the hat to add the stocking portion of it. Draw a small, puffy ball at the tip. Draw two "U" shapes under Santa's mustache to give Santa a big smile. Then to make the mouth and beard look more realistic, draw two zig-zagged lines extending from each tip of the mustache. Don't connect these lines to the outside of Santa's beard, though. Leave a little space. Now, draw the sides of Santa's face. Connect the top part of the beard you just drew, which extended from the mustache, with two wavy vertical lines on each side of Santa's head. Bring these lines up to meet with the bottom of Santa's hat. If done correctly, Santa's beard will wrap around his face.

SUMMARY: Begin with the nose. Draw the mustache. Draw Santa's eyes. Give Santa some eyebrows. Draw Santa's beard. Draw Santa's hat. Draw the mouth.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While you want to get rid of the pain, if you take pain medications, you may not be able to tell if the pain gets worse. If your appendix bursts, you need to return to the doctor, and you need to know when that happens, which is what the pain will tell you. If you are sent home from the hospital, ask what it's appropriate to take. Your doctor may give you a prescription for pain medications if they think you aren't close to rupturing, in which case you can take the medication to relieve pain. While appendicitis can cause constipation, taking laxatives or enemas may result in your appendix rupturing. Talk to your doctor about what it's safe to take with appendicitis.

SUMMARY: Skip taking pain medications unless prescribed by a doctor. Ask what medications you can take. Avoid taking laxatives or enemas for constipation.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The most common cause of popeye is dirty water, and the best form of prevention is frequently replacing the dirty tank water with fresh water. Always have clean water in the betta's fish tank or bowl to ensure that it won't get popeye. If your betta is kept in a bowl or tank that holds two gallons of water or less, do a 50% water change every week. If your betta is kept in a larger aquarium, change 10-25% of the total water every 24 weeks. Clean the tank every week if you don't have a filter and every two weeks if you do. Gently remove your betta fish with a net and place it into a separate clean bowl of water. Dump out all of the water in the fish tank, remove all rocks and decorations, and rinse them with clean water. Using a paper towel, scrub the inside walls of the tank. Put the rocks and decorations back in the tank and fill the tank most of the way with bottled drinking water or pretreated tap water before putting your betta fish back in. The natural habitat for betta fish is warm, stagnant water. Make sure the water is kept between 76 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit (24.4-27.7 degrees Celsius) in order to provide a healthy environment for your fish. Use paper pH test strips to test how basic or acidic your betta's water is. The pH should be kept at 6.5 or 7. If the pH is too high, filter water through peat moss before putting it in the tank. If the pH is too low, add baking soda or shells to the tank. Bettas prefer soft water, so keep the dH at 25 or lower. Go to a pet store to get specialized products that can extract the magnesium and calcium from your water if it is too hard. Different fish require different environments, so make sure that you don't add any fish to your tank that have conflicting environmental needs. Popeye often occurs when the tank water is not kept at the proper levels, and adding a new fish that thrives in a different kind of ecosystem might throw off those levels.

SUMMARY:
Change the water regularly. Clean your fish tank every 12 weeks. Keep the tank water warm. Keep the tank water slightly acidic. Purchase a dH kit to determine water hardness. Carefully introduce new fish to the fish tank.
