INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are a wide variety of academic and popular books available that you can read to learn about observational learning. By reading about observational learning, you'll learn about different techniques and perspectives about how to do so effectively. Consider the 1977 book ''Self-Efficacy: Toward a Unifying Theory of Behavioral Change'' by Albert Bandura. Read "Observational Learning: Evidence from Randomized Natural Field Experiment" by Hongrin Cai, Yuyu Chen, and Hanming Fang. Consider ''Opening Doors to Equity: A Practical Guide to Observation-Based Professional Learning'' by Tonya Ward Singer. Singer's book focuses on observation and learning in the education profession. A great way to educate yourself about observational learning is to attend events where people will teach you or discuss different theories or methods about it. At such events, you'll both learn by watching other people and by listening to them discuss their techniques. Go to educational conferences. Depending on the conference, they might have panels or speakers that will address observational learning. See speakers in your area who speak on the subject. To find useful events, use an internet search engine to search for "educational conferences" or "observational learning speakers." Scroll through the results to find events in your area. The most formal way of educating yourself about observational learning is by relevant classes at your local college or university. Consider classes on behaviorism, which focuses observing human behavior and drawing conclusions. Programs that might offer relevant classes include education, psychology, anthropology, sociology, and the sciences.

SUMMARY: Read about different approaches toward observational learning. Attend events where you can learn about observational learning. Enroll in relevant degree or non-degree granting programs that focus on related problems.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Look at the label on the bag and make sure a named meat is the first and second ingredient on the bag. Never be tempted to economize by feeding your Doberman on a cheaper food that is bulked up with soy or cereal. These ingredients tend to ferment in the bowel and produce gas. Unfortunately, the Doberman is renowned for suffering from a serious condition called bloat, where gas builds up in the stomach which then flips over on itself. This condition can kill the dog. The extra gas generated by a cereal rich diet is something to be avoided. Wait for at least 90 minutes after feeding your dog before exercising it. Exercising too quickly could cause the dog's stomach to flip over and becoming twisted. This is a life-threatening condition called bloat. Signs of bloat include non-productive retching and restlessness or agitation. If your dog is trying to throw up but bringing nothing up, take it to the vet immediately. Feeding from an elevated bowl is also said to increase the chances of bloat, so place the dog's food bowls on the floor. Eating quickly and gulping down food makes the dog likely to swallow air. If the dog is greedy consider strategies to slow its eating. You can purchase commercial slow-feeders, or consider putting large rocks (be sure they are too big to swallow) in the feeding bowl so the dog has to eat around them, slowing it down. Begin by following the portion sizes recommended on the package. However, regularly weigh your Doberman to make sure it is not gaining too much weight. Make sure to know what a healthy body shape is for your dog. If you know the ideal, you can judge whether your dog is under, over, or just the right weight.

SUMMARY: Give your Doberman a good quality food. Never exercise your dog immediately after eating. Feed your dog the right amount of food.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your baby may not be getting the nutrition she needs if she isn't latching on properly when you breastfeed her. These issues can usually be corrected with a little support, so reach out to your doctor or a lactation specialist if you have any of the following issues: Your baby sucks in her cheeks or makes clicking noises while feeding. Your baby seems unsettled after feeding Your baby seems to have a hard time swallowing Your breasts don't feel less full after a feeding Your nipples are sore or misshapen If your baby seems uninterested in eating and/or is consistently losing weight, schedule an appointment with your pediatrician right away. There are many congenital medical conditions and infections that can cause poor feeding, so it's important to get a diagnosis as soon as possible. Be sure to mention all other symptoms to your doctor as well, including vomiting and diarrhea, gagging, or coughing. If your baby is a picky eater, there is usually no cause for concern. Poor feeding means that the baby has little interest in any food, not just in specific foods. If your baby is dehydrated, he is not getting enough milk or formula, so it's very important to correct the cause of the problem right away. Common symptoms of dehydration include: Fewer wet diapers. Urine that is darker than normal. Jaundice (yellow skin). Decreased activity or increased sleepiness. Dry mouth. Fluctuations are normal, but if you notice any drastic changes, it's best to consult your baby's doctor. For example, if your baby was gaining weight at a consistent pace, but then suddenly started losing weight, this warrants a visit to the doctor. It may be nothing at all, or it may be something that requires medical intervention.

SUMMARY: Get support for breastfeeding issues. Watch for poor feeding. Watch for signs of dehydration. Talk to your doctor about sudden changes.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To sing classically you will need a teacher who can at a minimum offer voice coaching. Ideally, your instructor will also help you learn music theory, including how to read music. Ask your music teacher at school about local singing instructors. You could say, "Mr. Owens, I am interested in singing classically. Do you know of a good vocal coach?" Ask friends, family members, and classmates for suggestions of good teachers. Do an internet search for instructors in your area. The best teachers for classical music have a Master's degree in opera performance.

If you have the opportunity to learn a foreign language such as Italian, French, or German, do so. You will sometimes be singing in another language as a classical singer.
