Upper respiratory infections are common in turtles, so watch for wheezing, coughing, and discharge from the mouth. Parasites can usually be spotted by unusual weight loss, changes in appetite, and bloody stools.
Summary: Understand what a healthy terrapin looks like. Take your terrapin for an annual wellness exam. Recognize signs of poor health.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Add a soft pillow or two, a comfy blanket, and maybe a single stuffed animal to keep things uncluttered. You want it to feel as though you could just "melt away" into sleep as soon as your head hits the pillow! Also try to use your bed only for sleeping, instead of as your spot for homework, checking your phone, building Legos, etc. This will help you associate your bed with only one thingsleeping. It might provide some initial comfort to have a favorite dog or cat cuddle up with you in bed, but pets tend to move around a lot and become distractions. A stuffed animal that never needs to get up to use the bathroom is a better choice! It's also best to keep distractions like TVs, computers, and cell phones out of your room, especially at bedtime. If you have to do your schoolwork on a tablet or laptop in your room, for instance, move the item to another room when it's bedtime. If you need an alarm to wake up, use a standard alarm clock so you can keep your cell phone out of the area. It's also best to keep the alarm clock out of reach, so you have to get out of bed to shut it off. Use blackout shades or curtains to keep the room as dark as possibleuse just a small nightlight if needed. Also, use fans, air conditioners, heaters, or just heavier or lighter blankets to reach your ideal sleeping temperature. Most people tend to sleep better in a slightly cooler room with blankets for warmth, but you might have different sleep preferences. If you share your sleeping quarters with a sibling, you may find that your notions of ideal sleeping conditions are very different. If they like it cooler than you, add a blanket to your sleeping spot. If they like it warmer, point the fan toward you. If they need a nightlight, ask your parents to plug it in away from your sleeping spot. If you can convince them to work on establishing a consistent, relaxing bedtime routine along with you, you'll both sleep better!

SUMMARY: Make your bed an inviting place to sleep. Keep pets, TVs, and other distractions out of your room. Make sure the room is mostly dark and comfortably cool. Manage the best you can if you share a bedroom.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: CAGR can also be used to predict future growth based upon a historical CAGR. This is done similarly to calculating a historical CAGR. In order to calculate future value, you will need a few essential values. This includes the starting value, ending or finishing value, and the period of time over which you wish to measure growth. Determine the starting value (SV) of an asset, for example, the price paid for a share of stock or the current revenues of a company. Determine the period of time (T) you want to study, for example, the number of years, months, quarters, etc. Enter the CAGR percentage as a decimal. For example, the CAGR percentage of 24.9% calculated in method one would be entered here at 0.249. Future values can be calculated using the following formula: FV = SV(1 + CAGR)^T. Simply input the values you have decided on and calculate the future value in a similar way to calculating CAGR. You can either calculate this value by calculator or using a computer. To calculate this on a computer, use a spreadsheet program and enter the program into an empty cell. For example, a potential calculation in Excel would start with SV in cell A1, CAGR in cell D1, and T in cell C1. To calculate FV, enter the following into an empty cell: =A1(1+D1)^C1 and press enter. When using your CAGR to predict future values, keep in mind that no historical data can accurately predict the future. However, using a CAGR can serve as a somewhat reliable estimate of future growth. Keep in mind also that this CAGR represents an average of the growth of the represented values and will likely be lower or higher within the given year or period of time that you are trying to estimate.
Summary: Identify the values needed to calculate CAGR. Calculate future value using CAGR. Analyze your result.

... In this case, since 5 was the 0th term, the formula is an = 5 + 3n. If instead, you wanted 5 to be the first term, you would get an = 2 + 3n.

One-sentence summary -- Consider an arithmetic sequence such as 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, . Since each term is 3 larger than the previous, it can be expressed as a recurrence as shown. Recognize that any recurrence of the form an = an-1 + d is an arithmetic sequence. Write the closed-form formula for an arithmetic sequence, possibly with unknowns as shown. Solve for any unknowns depending on how the sequence was initialized.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The Reminders app resembles a sheet of notebook paper with colored circles on the left-hand side. Tapping the app takes you to its notebook-style interface. Tapping anywhere on the notebook interface brings up an on-screen keyboard that lets you name your reminder. After you name it, tap the Return button or the Done button. Tap your reminder, then tap the information icon to its right to bring up the options screen. Here, you can tap Remind me on a day to set a date and time you want to be reminded. If your iPad has 3G or 4G connectivity, you can add location-based reminders that issue alarms when you draw near a place you specify. In your reminder's options menu, tap Remind me at a location, then enter the details of the location. Your iPad will chime when you near the location. By default, your reminder has a priority of None. For tasks you absolutely cannot forget, tap one of the exclamation-point icons to set the reminder's importance. The reminder will remain on your list, so you can always uncheck it to use it again. To remove it permanently, tap Edit, then tap the minus icon next to the reminder, followed by Delete.
Summary:
Tap the Reminders app to open it. Create a reminder by tapping a blank line. Fill in the reminder's date and time in your reminder's options menu. Set the reminder's priority level. Tap the circle next to a reminder to cross it off.
