INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You want to have the lighter firmly in your hand, with a bit of the lighter's bottom poking out of the thumb side of your first. The lighter will be in line with the point of your middle knuckles. In other words, the long side of the lighter bottom will be parallel with your thumb.

SUMMARY: Hold the lighter tightly in your fist so that bottom 1/2" is all that is visible.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you need to flip your mattress while rotating it, bedding and sheets will get pinned beneath your bed. Even if you only need to rotate, sheets can get tangled, catch on your bed frame, or make it difficult for you to get a grip on your mattress. Strip your bed before doing either to make your job as easy as possible. Pull your mattress away from the headboard, wall, or the head of your bed frame, if possible. Some four poster beds, beds with footboards, and large mattress beds, like king sized ones, may require you to first lift the bottom of the mattress to pull it away from the headboard and rest on the footboard. This position will allow you to most easily helicopter your mattress around on your box spring or frame. Then grasp your mattress by one corner, lift up slightly, and drag it so the bottom faces either the left or the right side. Check the sides of your mattress for handles. Some mattresses include side handles to make maneuvering and transportation easier. You can rotate your mattress to whatever side is most convenient. Your end goal is to re-position the foot of your bed so it becomes the head. Recenter your mattress after you have pointed the bottom to either the left or the right. The starting head and foot of your bed should be hanging off the left and right sides now, with the mattress roughly in the middle of your box springs or frame. King and Queen sized mattresses may be hard to maneuver with just one corner. If you have a bed this size or larger, you will likely have the easiest time rotating your mattress by propping it on the head- or footboard and sliding it a little at a time until the foot and head of the mattress are pointing off to the sides. You should not prop and pivot your mattress on your head- or footboard if either have sharp angles that might catch on your mattress or if these are not stable. In this case, offset your mattress by pushing one corner of the foot of the mattress inward with respect to the frame and one corner of the head of the mattress outward. The resulting orientation should be offset and tilted on an angle. Grasp your mattress again by the corner and begin sliding it so the bottom takes its new place at the head of the bed. Once your bed is mostly in position, you can make small adjustments until it is completely centered, unless you need to flip your mattress. Once your mattress is rotated, flip-needing mattresses will have to be turned over. The size of king mattresses makes these prone to developing a hump in the middle. Thanks to the fact that these mattresses are mostly square, you can prevent this hump from forming by only rotating these mattresses 90-degrees and not finishing the rotation. Except for king size mattress, your bed should now be oriented normally, with its long side running from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed. The head and foot of your mattress should now be in exchanged positions. Pull your mattress to either side of your bed so that about half of it hangs off your box springs or frame. Take the overhanging side and lift it until your mattress is standing straight up. Then lower the tall end to the opposite side of the bed. End-over-end flipping can be done similarly; pull and prop your mattress on the head- footboard and then raise the overhanging side and lower it until the bottom of the mattress takes the place of the top. Generally, you should flip your mattress alternating between side-to-side flipping and end-over-end flipping unless your mattress tag/instructions indicate otherwise. After flipping your mattress, it should overhang the opposite side of the bed. However, at this point it is rotated and flipped. All you need to do is push your mattress into place on your box spring or frame and you're done.
Summary: Strip your bed. Position your mattress. Complete your rotation. Flip your mattress, if necessary.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: 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.

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.
