INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In a packed bar, good etiquette means knowing what you want before you approach the bartender. A good bar will not rush you along, but nonetheless, you should know as much about what you want as possible before talking with the bartender.  A possible exception, however, would be if you are inquiring about the brands of gin or vodka available. Also note that if the bar is not particularly crowded, you might be able to take a bit more time ordering, especially if you can tell that no one else is waiting to place a drink order. Have a firm presence but be polite. The most appropriate way to get a bartender's attention is to stand at the bar in a spot where you can be seen. Establish eye contact and offer a smile. These actions alone should be enough to tell a good bartender to walk over once he becomes available.  When ordering for someone else, make sure you know what that person wants before getting up to the bar. Do not call back and ask for his or her order after you have already caught the attention of the bartender. Moreover, if you are ordering for more than just yourself, you should have enough money in your hand to suggest as much. Do not wave the money around, though, as this is considered a sign of rudeness. Never try to get the bartender's attention by waving your money, snapping your fingers, or yelling. Once you have the bartender's attention, it is time to tell him what you want. Use the lingo you learned to order your martini. Call your base first, specify your preferred concentration of vermouth, indicate if you want ice, ask for your garnish, and finish off with how you want the bartender to mix it together.  For example, order a martini with Beefeater, extra dry and with a twist, straight up if you want a martini made with Beefeater brand gin and very little vermouth. It will have a lemon twist, and the gin will be chilled with ice before being strained into the cocktail glass. As another example, order a dirty martini with vodka, wet and shaken if you want a martini made with the cheapest vodka at the bar, extra vermouth, and olive brine. It will have the standard olive garnish, and it will be mixed with ice in a cocktail shaker.

SUMMARY: Know what you want before you approach the bar. Get the bartender's attention. Put it all together.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A lot of "healthy distractions" revolve around meditation and therapeutic breathing. Sitting someone down and guiding him through a meditation session is a good thing to try, especially if you're trying to distract your friend from physical pain. By focusing your friend's mind on something as arbitrary as breathing, his brain will have less resources available to focus on the thing that needs distracting from. Sit down and close your eyes. From there, you and your friend should focus on taking long, unrushed breaths, focusing in on the sound and the sensation of inhaling. Watching a good TV show is a great thing to do if you're sick or in need of a good distraction for a while. In particular, "binge watching" shows multiple episodes at a time helps someone become more and more invested in the programme they're watching. Media outlets like HBO are chock-full of great shows to watch in this fashion. Because TV shows favour a serialized format, it's easy to throw yourself into a show. If you need to distract someone, suggest the two of you watch a show together. Popcorn and snacks are a therapeutic addition to an activity like this as well. Clickbait refers to a type of online web article that serves little purpose other than to distract. Sites like Buzzfeed and Clickworthy specialize in this sort of aggregated media. Although clickbait is often worthless and should be avoided, it's a perfect thing to link or show someone who needs their mind drawn away from real-world matters. Some clickbait even self-refers to its role as a potentially therapeutic distraction. Video games are a great way of stepping out of your own life for a time and jumping into another world. There are lots of video games out there that  are best when played together. Video games require a lot of concentration. In this manner, they're arguably even better than a TV show for the sake of distracting someone. A walk through the woods is one of the most recommended "healthy distractions". If you suggest doing it with a friend, it opens up a lot of opportunities to talk and bond. Being out in the open together can be a lot of fun, and the experience of simply being outdoors is great for the soul. Although drinking to excess or partying isn't recommended as a long-term way to be distracted by something, the loud stimulation of a night out on the town can be perfect for distraction. Make sure your friend is likely to have a good time, and try to stay clear of anything that might remind him of whatever it is he needs distracting from.

SUMMARY: Do breathing exercises. Watch a show with him. Link them to clickbait. Play video games together. Go for a walk. Take your friend out for a wild night.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Making a clay keychain requires mold-and-bake clay (also known as polymer clay), a small cookie cutter, a large needle or toothpick, and a split ring or keychain assembly. Make sure to cover your space with newspaper or something that can keep the clay from sticking onto the table! Split rings come in a variety of shapes and sizes. You can buy larger ones that a decorative clay shape can be directly attached to or you can buy a more complex split ring and chain assembly that is made specifically to attach your own keychain art to. Pick whichever one you like. You can even reuse parts from an old keychain if you have one lying around. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before attempting the next step. Be careful not to be too rough when connecting the two pieces together, as it could break your beautiful new keychain.

SUMMARY:
Gather your materials. Place the clay shape on a baking sheet and bake according to the directions on the package. Attach your slip ring or keychain assembly to the cooled shape.
