Contact your city government to find out about Groundhog Day festivities for times and locations. All is not lost if your city doesn't celebrate Groundhog Day. Celebrate it with your loved ones or visit a city that has special events. Groundhog lodges are clubs in Pennsylvania that preserve German immigrant culture. Dozens of groundhog lodges across the state celebrate Groundhog Day with food, games, speech, and songs. Look for a lodge closest to you, and join in on their celebrations. Because groundhog lodges seek to preserve the dying Pennsylvania German dialect, speeches will often be given in this language. Besides watching Phil leave his burrow, Punxsutawney also hosts an entire weekend of festivities. In the morning, town citizens gather for an annual breakfast. A celebration tent in the center of town hosts fun activities, like a cornhole tournament and top hat decorating contest. Then, in the evening, you can join the Groundhog Ball at the local country club. In the off-season, Punxsutawney also hosts a wine festival where Punxsutawney Phil makes a special appearance.

SUMMARY: Ask your teacher if you can celebrate Groundhog Day in class. Look for local festivities happening in your city. Check out a groundhog lodge festival. Visit Punxsutawney's annual celebration.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The term 'ringworm' is misleading because ringworm is actually caused by a fungus (Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Microsporum). If your hamster has ringworm, you will see patches of hair loss where the skin looks crusty, flaky, and red. Your vet will diagnose ringworm by looking at the affected skin with a special lamp and examining some of your hamster's fur with a microscope. The affected areas of skin look like rings. Ringworm is common in older hamsters. Several treatment options are available for ringworm. One option is medicated shampoo, containing either povidone iodine (antibacterial) or an antifungal medication. Consider trimming your hamster's fur before the bath so the shampoo is most effective. Be mindful that your hamster may resist getting bathed. Topical treatment with griseofulvin, an antifungal medication, is another treatment option. Your vet would shave the affected skin areas first, then you would apply the ointment at home as prescribed. Isolate the affected hamster during treatment. Treatment for ringworm usually lasts 1821 days. Hamster ringworm is contagious to humans, so you should wear gloves when handling your hamster and wash your hands after handling. A hamster can get infected with ringworm from its cage bedding. Clean the cage and its contents with hot, soapy water. Throw away all the bedding and put in clean bedding when the cage is completely dry. As with handling your hamster, wear gloves when cleaning its cage. If your hamster's cage doesn't get much fresh air, it could become damp inside, which would promote fungal growth and increase the risk of a ringworm infection. If you do not have a wire cage, consider purchasing one. A wire cage would have great ventilation. If buying a new cage is not practical, purchase a wire cage top to improve the cage's ventilation.
Summary: Have your vet diagnose ringworm. Follow treatment instructions. Clean your hamster's cage. Keep the cage well ventilated.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Clean the sink thoroughly first. Then stop up the sink drain. Fill the sink basin with tap water and add several ice cubes. There should be more water than ice in the sink or bowl. If you prefer, you can use a large bowl such as a punch bowl wherein you can fully submerge your face. Add some slices of and cucumber or chunks of watermelon if desired. Hold your breath and dip your face into the ice water for ten to thirty seconds. Do this several times, with a few seconds to a few minutes in between. The feeling of this process is intense, and has a temporary side effect of discomfort or pain due to the sudden temperature change. If it doesn't feel at all intense, you may want to add a bit more ice. Other than temporary discomfort, icing your face shouldn't cause any negative side effects, as some skin products can. Don't do this for longer than fifteen minutes. After facial skin icing, apply skin products if desired. For instance, moisturizer, toner or acne treatment (if needed). If your skin tends to get dry, go with a moisturizer. If your skin is on the oily side, use toner, an astringent which removes the film of oil leftover from cleansers. Saturate cotton pads with skin product and apply it to your face and neck.

SUMMARY:
Fill the sink or a bowl with cold water. Submerge your face. Follow up with your regular skin care products.
