Article: Cats do not respond well to punishment. When punished, most cats get aggravated and simply disengage. Punishing a cat during training will end up alienating your cat. If a cat is scolded consistently over time, this can cause stress which can lead to litter box issues, compulsive grooming, and health problems. If your cat is not behaving, simply do not offer a reward. Avoid yelling at your cat, placing him in a cage, or any other form of punishment. Never hit or physically harm a cat as punishment. This causes your cat a lot of stress and lead to a bad relationship between you and your cat. You want to make sure you end training sessions on a high note. If training becomes stressful, your cat may refuse to behave. Watch for body language that indicates stress, fear, or aggression. If your cat seems upset, cut the training session short and try again the next day. If a cat's ears are held back slightly, he may be feeling scared or aggressive. Watch his eyes as well. Slightly dilated pupils tend to indicate fear while fully dilated pupils can indicate aggression. A cat's tail can also be an indicator of mood. If the fur on the tail is standing up, your cat is likely angry or frightened. If your cat holds his tail low or tucks it between his legs, he's likely scared. A tail that's thrashing back and forth indicates anger and potential aggression. If your cat has existing joint problems, avoid teaching this trick, as standing up can put stress on your cat's joints. If you have a very overweight cat, put him/her on a diet and exercise them until they are fit enough.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Do not punish a cat. Watch for negative body language. Be careful teaching this trick to cats with joint problems.
Article: There is a world of app, programs, sites and web communities specifically devoted to music identification. As it turns out, you're in great company if you are looking to identify a song. Online music finders like Midomi and WatZatSong are great places to meet people with experience and interest in identifying music. Virtual piano keyboards are available to identify melodies on several sites online, most notably Folk Tune Finder and Musipedia. If you have formal music training, inputting the notes via notation (C, C#, D etc.) is also an option on sites like JC ABC Tune Finder and Themefinder. If you're somewhere the mystery song is being played somewhere around you, you can use the Shazam app to identify it for you. Download the app, and aim your phone towards the music for several seconds. In the majority of cases, the app will be able to tell you exactly which song and artist are playing at the moment. Soundhound is another great music-recognition app. With it, you can get the song you're looking for by briefly humming into a mic. It's far from perfect, but could be a quick fix if you've got a melody on your mind. Most times a music-recognition app fails, it's because there is too much background noise for the app to get a clear reading of the music. If that happens, wait until it becomes more quiet, or find another area where you're get a more direct feed of the music. Find somewhere peaceful and quiet. Once you're settled, record yourself humming or singing the melody. You won't need anything more than a basic webcam mic to suit your recording purposes. Take care to sing it as clearly and as accurately as possible, as this will be all the database or online community has to help you with. If you've chosen to input the melody via a virtual keyboard, take care to make sure the rhythm and notes are as accurate as you can make them. If the program or site you're using offers a text box, you should use it to fill in as much information as you know about the song. The most help details should include the probable genre of the music, and the setting you first heard it. While this doesn't apply to automated databases, it could mean the different between a community member pinpointing it or not for you. How you go about posting will vary depending on the site. Most will require you to start an account; this shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes to wade through. From there, it should be a straightforward process of putting up your post and waiting for the answers to start rolling in. The communities on sites like Midomi are passionate and helpful, and should be quick to help you out with your query. If you get different answers as to what song it is, it's recommended you check all of them. When you're finally hearing the song you've been looking for, it should click in immediately. There's a great feeling of relief and satisfaction in identifying a song you were looking for, so bask in the glory! YouTube is an extensive and ubiquitous way of hearing music. No matter how obscure or recent, there should be a streaming video with the song you're looking to hear.

Find the right app or program for you. Use a music-recognition app. Record yourself humming the melody. Include any additional details you can think of. Post up your query. Wait for an answer.
Article: If you experience diarrhea that extends after menstruation or that becomes chronic in nature, contact a doctor immediately. Some common causes of diarrhea are: Accidentally eating spoiled food. Avoid buffet restaurants with heat trays, check all dairy-based food and condiments before use, and be sure to clean left overs out of the refrigerator on a weekly basis to avoid ingesting spoiled foods. Food allergies. Food allergies can develop at any point in our life and cause digestive irritation. Some of the most common, like lactose-intolerance or Celiac's Disease reveals themselves with chronic, mysterious diarrhea. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Caused by intensive, long-term stress and tension, IBS is most common in women and can be triggered by spicy foods, heavy meals, fried foods, and large amounts of fiber or vegetable matter. Hormonally-induced diarrhea that accompanies PMS is not curable in and of itself, but there are ways to treat the symptoms and decrease discomfort. Eat yogurt. Yogurt contains microbial cultures that help regulate our gut fauna and aid digestion. If you are prone for episodes of indigestion or diarrhea, use yogurt as a way to regulate your symptoms. If yu are not a fan of yogurt, then you may consider taking a probiotic. Avoid fast food and caffeine. Fast food has a tendency to cause diarrhea due to fat content, meaning it can make hormonally-induced diarrhea worse. Additionally, caffeine has a laxative effect for many people, exacerbating existing digestive troubles. Exercise. Regular exercise increases blood flow and has been shown to reduce the hormonal symptoms associated with PMS, including cramping and bloating. It is thought that hormonally-induced diarrhea can also be suppressed as a result. Exercising can also cause your body to release endorphins, which can improve your mood. Diarrhea causes considerable water loss and, without proper hydration, can actually induce complications of dehydration. Being dehydrated can also lead to more pain. When experiencing frequent diarrhea, carry a water bottle with you and try to drink as much water as your body is losing. Try to drink 8 to 13 eight ounce glasses of water daily. If you are having diarrhea, then you may need to drink more water than this. As long as you are not suffering from a bacterial infection, then taking an antidiarrheal medicine may help. There are over the counter treatments for diarrhea that prevent bowel expression and can help you go about normal, daily activities while coping with PMS. The two most common medications include: Lopermide: This medication acts to slow down gut function. This means that a greater amount of water has the chance to reabsorb during digestion. Bismuth subsalicylate: This medication reduces inflammation of the digestive tract, limits the growth of certain harmful bacteria, and limits digestive secretions.
