Article: With your toddler still being physically weak, it is important to remind yourself to never omit a helmet at any stage or time when you are out on the bike outing, be it even for a short ride in the house or playground. This should never be taken lightly as omitting the use of a helmet could lead to serious brain injuries. Before heading out to bike, you should also explain to your child that riding a bike comes with its own risks if they do things wrong. It is important to instruct your children to not to try to get out of the straps or buckles of the bike seat or trailer. If you find your child to be trying to move around a lot and is somewhat distracting you, help them stay focused on their surroundings by pointing out important landmarks or beautiful plants along the way. Tell them to keep their hands on the handlebars or sleep rolls and to try not to snatch things along the way. A good and snug harness or seat belt can often eliminate this from happening. You can also encourage your child to behave during the bike ride by promising them a reward. This can either be a treat or extra TV time if they do well along the way. However, this may not be necessary as your child gets used to riding a bike and begins to appreciate the beautiful views that he comes across during the travel. As a final thought, it is important to note that your bike outings should be limited to a bike path instead of any other terrain when you have a little one with you. This minimizes the risk of accidents and helps to keep your toddler safe.

Understand that your toddler must wear a helmet at all times. Explain the safety rules to your toddler. Offer a reward for good behavior. Stick to the path when biking with toddlers.
Article: When you are doing lymphatic massage, you want to make sure that you don't press too hard. The lymphatic vessels are located right under the skin, so if you press too hard, you are going to go deeper than the vessels. Press down enough so that your fingers are not sliding over your skin, but make sure that you can't feel anything beneath the skin. You may feel like this is too light, especially if you are used to deeper tissue massages. You may be used to giving or receiving massages where you glide along the skin. A lymphatic massage needs to stimulate the lymphatic vessels, which are elastic and attached to the skin. You need to lightly stretch your skin to massage them. The direction of your stretch of the skin is important. You should stretch the skin in the direction that the lymph flows naturally. You want to help stimulate the natural flow. If you stretch the skin the wrong way, you are doing nothing. The lymph flow goes towards your trunk and heart. Make sure to take your fingers off the skin after each stretch. If you move your fingers back and forth, you are just moving the lymph and not helping to drain it. As you massage the lymph vessels, you should go slow. The normal rhythm of their flow is slow, so try to take around three seconds to perform each stretch of the skin. Release and wait for a few seconds before beginning again.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Use a light touch. Stretch the skin instead of moving along it. Massage with the normal lymph flow. Use the correct rhythm.
Article: Remove all of the birds and feed from the poultry house, and either sweep or blow dust from all fixtures onto the floor. Remove all of this litter with a wet-dry vacuum, and then soak all surfaces with a low pressure sprayer. Then wash every part of the building with a natural detergent and warm water. Rinse away all of the detergent, and then air-dry the building. While you are cleaning, put the birds either outside in an enclosure or in cages. Disinfectants can be purchased from farm supply stores, and these are usually made from phenolic or chlorine compounds. Disinfectants are applied using aerosols, fumigation, or a garden sprayer. Always follow the safety and manufacturer's instructions for the correct dilution and application of disinfectants. Load the birds into cages or crates that are fit for transportation. The size guidelines for travel crates and cages for chickens are 8 inches (20cm) wide, by 12 inches (30cm) deep, and 10 inches (25cm) tall per bird. Only transport healthy birds, as those that are sick or stressed are not suitable for travel. Crates need to be well-ventilated, upright, and have enough room for the birds to stand. Poultry cannot survive for longer than 8 hours without food or water. Check on the birds regularly throughout the journey to monitor them. Advertise your products, create a website, or sell your products at a local farmers market. Aim to make a connection with people, and look for gaps in the market. For example, perhaps free-range, organic eggs are difficult to come by in your area, which provides a good opportunity for you. Generally the better your marketing, the more likely your poultry farm is to be successful. Advertising can be done through signs, billboards, flyers, vehicle signage, notices up in your community, or adverts in a local paper. You will need to keep production/technical records, as well as financial records. Some registers that must be included are wages for employees, building maintenance, equipment, feed, medicines, batches, and chick turn out and disposal. Where applicable, all quantities, rates, units, invoices, and receipts need to be recorded. An accountant will be able to help you with your financial records.
