INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When it comes to macular degeneration, the most affected area is the central vision, with the peripheral vision still partially intact. For this reason, people with macular degeneration can still use their peripheral vision to compensate. A magnifying glass can help make object seem larger so that they are easier to see. Magnifying glasses vary from 1.5 to 20 times magnification. They are easy to travel with. Many can fold up to pocket size. Try a stand magnifying glass. This type varies from two to 20 times magnification. It can be mounted so that your hands are free. It is helpful for patients who may also suffer from unstable or shaky hands. Some types have an additional light feature to aid in dim lighting situations. This type of device varies from 2.5 to 10 times magnification. It can be useful to help see distances. With the same variations of magnification as telescopes, binoculars are useful because you can use both eyes to view items. This type of magnifier is mounted on the patient's glasses and is useful for distance vision. It allows the patient to transfer between distance viewing and telescopic vision. There are also spectacle lenses for normal viewing. These work similar to bifocals. These are approved and prescribed by Low Vision Specialists. This stand-mounted video camera magnifies reading or writing material onto a video screen. You can use this type of magnifier to aid in a variety of tasks, such as reading, writing, crafts and viewing photos. Some can also underline and highlight information. This type of device can also be used with a computer. This machine will read typewritten text out loud. Use Ocular Recognition (OCR) software to turn your personal computer into a reading machine. These types of lenses work by absorbing the light transmitted through the eye. They reduce glare and harmful ultraviolet rays. These lenses can transition between light and dark areas. They can be worn over prescribed glasses.

SUMMARY: Use a magnifying glass. Try a monocular or a telescope. Use binoculars. Try a spectacle mounted magnifier. Get a video magnifier. Use a reading machine with voice output. Find out about absorptive lenses.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Colds and flu are caused by viruses, which can easily pass from person to person, or from surface to person, so make sure you hit all of the hard surfaces in your space. This includes everything from the desk and chairs, to trash cans and light switches. Don't forget the door knob! Although it's not attached to your room, it is attached to you, so remember to wipe down your phone as well. Computers and personal tablets should be disinfected too. There's nothing more attractive to germs than trash, so be sure to take yours out often. This is particularly important if someone in the room is already sick or has a cold. Consider having one trash can per person, to avoid spreading germs. Don't forget the gloves. When taking out the trash, you may want to consider wearing plastic gloves so that your hands don't come in direct contact with the can. Regardless, be sure to wash your hands afterwards. Flu season is not the time to recycle your clothes. Instead of leaving your jeans on the floor for another day, put them directly into the laundry basket. Be sure to use warm water and soap when cleaning your clothes. Always check the label first, as some clothes will shrink if washed in warm water. Similar to washing your clothes frequently, you also need to ensure your bedding is clean. Most flu viruses can live one to two days on nonporous surfaces, and eight to 12 hours on porous surfaces. You don't need to wash your bedding every day, but do try to clean them at least once a week. If you sit on your bed to study, after coming back from classes, you may want to wash them every couple of days instead.
Summary: Wipe surfaces with disinfectant cleaner. Empty trash cans frequently. Wash your clothes after every wear. Keep bedding clean.

Pressing flowers is done best with small, flat flowers, such as pansies and lilacs. Stay away from flowers with fleshy stems or extra-thin petals, which can end up damaged. After the first week, remove the flowers and replace the paper with fresh, dry sheets. Then put the flowers back under the weights to continue pressing them.

One-sentence summary -- Choose your flowers. Wait for 13 weeks.

Q: If you want your cat to be certified, it usually must be a specific age. Often, your cat must be at least a year old before it can be certified as a therapy cat. In addition, you must have had the cat for at least 6 months. Before beginning any therapy, your cat should be evaluated by a vet. In addition to making sure the cat is healthy, the vet should also update the cat on any shots it needs. Often, the organization will require your vet to fill out a specific form. Your vet will likely be familiar with it. Another requirement by some certification organizations is that you don't feed a raw diet. A raw diet increases the chances that your cat will carry bacteria, putting those who are sick or who have poor immune systems at risk.
A: Make sure your cat is of age. Get a clean bill of health. Don't feed a raw diet to your cat.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Make this circle about one-third larger than the head, and give it a bit of an oval shape. About one-third of it should overlap the lower right side of the circle for the head. This oval should extend to the right of and slightly below the circle for the neck. It should also overlap the neck circle and just touch the circle that represents the head. The body oval should be about 1.5 times taller than the neck circle and about 3 times wider. Elongate the shoulder oval vertically, make it overlap the neck oval slightly and run to just below the body oval, and tilt it about 30 degrees towards the front of the fox. Make the leg oval about twice as long and half as wide, and extend it straight down from the shoulder. Create the foot oval at a right angle to the leg. After finishing the outline for the near-side front leg, sketch in the front portion of the leg and foot ovals of the far-side front leg. Make them extend just a bit in front of the near-side leg. Make the rear shoulder about 1.5 times as long and twice as wide as the front shoulder. Instead of a single leg oval, draw 2 ovals that meet at 30-degree angles to represent the knee joint. Make the back foot oval the same size as the front foot. A fox's back knees bend towards its tail, not towards its head. As with the far-side front leg, create overlapping elements of the far-side rear leg in similar proportion to the near-side rear leg. Connect it to the back of the body oval and run it down to the ground level where the fox's feet are. Make the oval wide enough to partially overlap the near-side rear shoulder and knee. Sketch the tail at roughly the same angle as the upper rear leg. Make the tail about the same length as the body oval, but more narrow by about half. After you've finished outlining the fox using various oval shapes, add definition to its various features. Make the body leaner in the abdomen, and contour the legs to give a more muscular look. Make the tail a bit wavy, and use small curved lines to add indications of fur on the tail and at the front of the chest. Foxes have narrow, somewhat football-shaped eyes, lean muzzles with slightly-rounded noses, and angular but slightly-rounded ears. Refining the facial features may be the toughest part, so refer to images of foxes for guidance. In other words, trace over the more defined body, legs, tail, head, and face that you just created. Then, erase the original ovals you used to shape the outline of the fox. If you sketched lightly in pencil, the lines should vanish without any trouble. Make the lower halves of the legs, the lower third of the tail, the front of the chest, and the bottom half of the muzzle an off-white color. Fox fur can carry shades of red, orange, and brown, but a "burnt orange" shade may give you a fairly typical fox color.

SUMMARY:
Overlap the bottom right of the head with a slightly larger circle for the neck. Sketch out a much larger oval to represent the fox's body. Connect a set of elongated ovals to represent the front legs and feet. Follow a similar process with 4 ovals for the rear legs and feet. Draw the tail out of a long, nearly banana-shaped oval. Refine the fox's body shape and add facial features. Darken your refinements with pen and erase the pencil outlines. Color the drawing, if desired, to finish it off.
