Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Stand up straight with your feet together. Extend your dominant arm straight out, parallel to the ground. Bend your elbow at a 90-degree angle and extend your fingers.

Answer: It is easier to get your arm and elbow into the proper alignment, and therefore get a more accurate measurement, in this upright position. If you're not concerned with precision accuracy, however, taking the measurement from a seated position won't change the results by much. If you're right-handed, use your right arm, and use your left arm if you're left-handed. If, however, you have to use your non-dominant arm (due to an injury, for instance), there will be little to no difference in the resulting measurement. If you're wearing long sleeves, roll them up so your elbow is fully exposed. Your upper arm should be pointed straight forward, and your lower arm (and fingers) pointed straight upward. Position your wrist so that your palm is facing toward you and the back of your hand away from you. Some sources recommend closing the fingers into a loose fist instead of extending them, but with the wrist in the same position. In either case, your resulting measurements should be essentially the same.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Solder the wire wrapped on your coil gun to the negative terminal on the capacitor. Attach a black insulated wire to the positive terminal of the capacitor. Run the black wire to a switch. Connect the switch to your coil gun with another black wire.

Answer: Take the end of the wire from your coils and cut it so it's 6in (15cm) long. Look for a white stripe or "-" on the capacitor to find the negative terminal. Use a soldering gun to attach the wire to the capacitor. Make sure there's a solid connection by lightly tugging on the wire. You can buy a soldering gun and solder material from your local hardware store. Strip 12in (1.3cm) of the insulation off the end of a black wire using wire cutters. Hold the end of the wire next to the positive terminal on your capacitor and use your soldering gun to attach it. Tug it gently once it's dry to make sure the connection is solid. The switch acts as the trigger for your coil gun. Cut your wire so it extends 34in (7.610.2cm) from your capacitor and strip 12in (1.3cm) of the insulation from the end. Feed the exposed wire into one of the ports on the switch terminal and tighten it in place with a screwdriver. Buy a switch from your local hardware or electronics store. Cut another black wire so it's about 34in (7.610.2cm) long. Strip 12 inch (1.3cm) of the insulation off both ends of the wire. Feed one end of the wire into the second port on your switch and tighten it in place with a screwdriver. Solder the other end of the wire onto the copper wires on your coil gun to complete the circuit. Make sure your switch is in the off position before soldering it to your coil gun.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Allow your doctor to test your blood twice in one day. Get your urine or saliva tested, if requested by your doctor. Have a CT or MRI, if needed.

Answer: Your doctor will draw blood from you at their office once in the morning and then again in the late afternoon. They will schedule the first appointment at around 7-8 am and the second appointment at around 3-4 pm on the same day. This will ensure the test results are accurate, as your cortisol levels will fluctuate throughout the day. The doctor will draw blood from a vein in your arm. You may feel a slight sting when they draw the blood and the area may be a little sore afterward. In some cases, your doctor may suggest additional testing like a urine test and a saliva test to get a more accurate read of your cortisol levels. You will need to provide urine samples at timed periods over 24 hours. Saliva and urine tests can help your doctor better determine if your elevated levels are caused by stress or even a medication that acts like cortisol in the body. Saliva tests are done at home late in the evening when cortisol levels are typically lowest. You will spit in a test tube, and deliver it to your doctor's office. If your doctor requests a urine test, you will collect your urine in sterile containers over a 24-hour period. If your doctor suspects you have abnormal growths or tumors that are affecting your cortisol levels, they may run a computerized tomography (CT scan). They may also do a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI scan). You may need to book separate appointments with your doctor to get these scans done. The results of these scans, as well as your other tests, will be looked at by your doctor to determine your cortisol levels.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Expect that the pups are born alert and 'ready to run' as miniature versions of adult guinea pigs. Leave the mother and pups alone for a couple of hours. Weigh the pups and mother the same day as the birth. Weigh the pups and mother again the next day. Continue to weigh the pups and mother daily. Get the vet to check the mother and all of the pups. Continue to provide the enhanced diet. At three to five weeks, the males become sexually mature, so sex the pups and separate them at this age. The pups will be weaned at 21 days. Reintroduce any sows you may have removed to the female pups at three to four weeks.

Answer:
Their eyes should be open and they should have fur, they should be able to hear and they should be able to walk and eat immediately. If any of the pups is definitely alive, but is not alert or able to see or walk then contact your vet immediately. The pups do not require a heat lamp or heating pad. They should be kept at the same comfortable temperature as the adults. It's best to give the mother and pups some uninterrupted rest if they seem to be doing fine. If you are concerned about the mother or have serious health worries about one of the pups contact a vet immediately, however. Guinea pig pups and new mothers can decline quickly and the only real way to tell is from their weight. You should be able to handle the pups from birth, the mother won't mind. At birth the pups should weigh roughly 2 to 3 oz. It is likely that all of the pups will have lost a little weight, but if one of the pups is significantly lighter than the others or has lost more weight, provide some hand-feed mix from a spoon and give them 15 minutes of one-on-one with their mother three times a day. Wait 24 hours after the birth to give additional feeding for one of the pups as it takes this long for some pups to begin feeding at all. Use this to determine if any pups require any additional feed and if the mother is doing well or becoming ill. Toxemia and calcium deficiency are still a threat for the first week after birth, so look out for signs of illness in the mother and continued weight loss. Daily weighing should continue for the first three weeks. The pups will likely lose weight for the first three days, but after this it should pick up again. If the weight does not pick up, or a pup does not improve with additional feeding, consult the vet. The mother's weight will vary for a few days whilst she re-adjusts but should settle within five days. If it declines every day or continues to change after 5 days, consult the vet. If the mother and all of the pups appear to be doing well there is no need for an immediate trip to the vet, but they should be seen in the first week in case there is something you have not picked up on. Use alfalfa hay as well as grass hay for both the mother and her pups, and vitamin supplements for the mother. Provide additional vegetables and increase the amount of these over the next few weeks as the pups begin to grow and eat more. Continue to provide fruit for the mother, but not for the pups as the acid will be too much for them. The pups will be able to eat solid food from day one, and the mother will introduce them to new food herself. Have a vet sex the pups to avoid any accidents. The female pups should be kept with their mother and the males removed. Introduce the male pups to the father and any other boars you have. Make the introductions gradual as the adults will be a lot larger and could do them serious harm. Whilst brothers will be fine to be housed together throughout their lives, they may never get on well enough will other boars to be permanently housed with them. Some pups will be weaned a few days before or after, but this is the average. The pups should weigh 5 to 8 oz. Once the pups are weaned, the mother should not require vitamin supplements anymore, unless you gave them to her as part of her regular diet anyway. If you are not certain that the pups are weaned at 21 days, the males should be removed anyway to prevent pregnancy. They will have been eating solids from a few days old so will cope without their mother's milk at this age. Gradually introduce the other females and carefully monitor the situation. It may take several days for them to begin living together. Just because they are the pups of a familiar guinea pig, this does not mean that they will be accepted immediately.
