In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Look for gum with xylitol. Bacteria in your mouth will cling to this artificial sugar instead of your teeth. Chewing gum also makes you salivate, helping to prevent dry mouth, and removes bacteria and food particles. Make sure it is sugarless. Whatever you choose, make sure it is sugar-free. Look for xylitol as a sugar substitute. And if using a spray, make sure it does not contain alcohol, as this will dry out your mouth, which contributes to bad breath. Remember: mints, sprays and lozenges only cover up bad breath; they are not a cure. If you find yourself constantly using breath fresheners, then be sure to see your dentist. Mint leaves are particularly good for freshening breath; they contain essential oils that have been shown to be effective in fighting bad breath. Other herbs to try include sage, which has antimicrobial properties that fight bad breath, or eucalyptus. Dill and parsley are both high in chlorophyll, which freshens breath, and have the added bonus of being served as a garnish with many meals. Coriander, cardamom, and anise will all freshen your breath, but don't chew too much. Anise, in particular, has a powerful odor that can be unpleasant if too much is eaten. If chewing cardamom pods, be sure not to swallow them. Alcohol kills the bacteria that can cause bad breath, which makes drinking an alcoholic beverage particularly one with a pleasing scent a good way to freshen your breath. The higher the alcohol content of your drink, the more effective it will be, but be sure to avoid sugary drinks. They leave a sugary residue that can bread more bacteria. Baking soda is a natural breath freshener. Mix a teaspoon into a cup of water, and swish it around your mouth.
Summary: Chew sugar-free gum to freshen your breath. Try a breath mint, lozenge, or spray. Chew on herbs to freshen your breath. Chew on seeds or pods. Use an alcoholic beverage to freshen your breath. Rinse with baking soda.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Write this word on a slip of paper and slip it into an envelope. Put the envelope in your pocket. Note that this is the most important part of the trick. Without carrying out this step, you will not be able to perform the trick. Give one the dictionary, and the other a calculator. The only stipulation is that no two digits can repeat. For example, he or she might choose the number 365. The digits must be different - you cannot have a number like 222. 563). Then, ask them to take away the bigger number from the smaller number (e.g. 563- 365= 198) Finally, ask them to reverse that number (e.g. 891). In our example, 198+891= 1,089. The result will always be 1,089 no matter what number you choose in the first place. These will always be 108. Ask the volunteer with the dictionary to turn to page 108. This will always be 9. Stare at the volunteer and make a show as if you are reading their mind, then, when you think you are ready, pull out the envelope and reveal the strip of paper. The audience will be astonished as you show the same word as the volunteer called out!
Summary: Look up the 9th word on page 108 in your dictionary before doing this trick. Ask for two volunteers when you arrive at the show. Ask the volunteer with the calculator to pick any three digit number. Ask them to reverse the number (e.g. Ask them to add the last two number together. Now ask them what the first three digits of the number are. Now ask the other volunteer what the last digit of the number was. Ask the volunteer with dictionary to stare at the ninth word down.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It is a good idea to complete a weekly, or bi-weekly, water change on a consistent basis. Again, you will not remove all of the water each time, only 25-30%. If you see the need, you can also do a deep cleaning of your tank on a monthly basis. You must balance out a desire to keep your tank clean with the health of your fish. Too frequent, or too few, cleanings can adversely impact their health. Performing partial changes is also an excellent way to re-establish stability in your tank after an unusual event, such as a re-scaping or a chemical overdose. Don't be afraid to do an unscheduled water change in these cases as the reward is worth it. If you run your aquarium lights all day and every day, you will likely see a quick, aggressive accumulation of algae and debris. This is because the light is helping the algae to feed off of your tank. Instead, try keeping your lights on for 10-14 hours for tanks with live plants or 6-10 hours otherwise. Much of the debris that you siphon out of the gravel will be leftover food. To avoid this issue, resist the desire to overfeed and instead stick with a once or twice daily schedule. And, adjust your feeding practices depending on how well your fish eat what is offered.
Summary:
Schedule weekly partial water changes. "Reset" your tank with water changes. Limit your light usage. Avoid overfeeding.
