INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Heat provides a quick, easy way to reduce the discomfort of morning stiffness.  To relax your muscles and increase circulation to stiff joints, use hot packs, heating pads, or a hot shower to target affected areas.  When using a hot pack or heating pad, wrap the device in a thin, dry towel. Do not exceed 20 minutes of application. Take as hot of a shower as is comfortable for you. Hot tub or whirlpool use can be especially therapeutic to relieve stiffness first thing in the morning. Allow your skin to return to room temp before applying any topical medication. Believe it or not, you can also relieve morning stiffness by applying cool temperatures to your joints.  This helps reduce swelling and can numb locations of particularly bothersome pain.  Ice packs, cold packs, or even a bag of frozen veggies will do the trick.  Try warm and cold packs on separate days to see what works better for you.  Stick with whichever seems to work better. If either warm or cold packs are too uncomfortable, discontinue use.  Your comfort is an important factor in keeping your pain low. Wrap anything frozen in a dry towel to protect your skin, and do not apply cold to one location for more than 20 minutes.  Allow your skin to warm back up to normal before applying topical medication. If your hands are the primary site of your morning stiffness, try soaking your hands in warm or hot water. To take your mind off of the discomfort as well, try doing a few dishes in a sink filled with hot water. Always test a sink’s water temp by quickly dipping a finger in momentarily before submerging your hands.

SUMMARY: Apply warmth to stiff joints. Try cold packs too. Do dishes in hot water.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The types of sources you'll use for your research depend on your grade level or education level. Generally, you can use short journal articles or webpages for a shorter paper. For a longer paper, you'll likely need to look at books and longer scholarly articles. While the requirements differ based on your assignment and the topic you're researching, you may find these guidelines helpful:  1- to 2-page paper: 2 to 3 webpages or short journal articles 3- to 5-page paper: 4 to 8 journal or scholarly articles, webpages, or books 5- to 10-page paper: 6 to 15 journal or scholarly articles, webpages, or books 10- to 15-page paper: 12 to 20 journal or scholarly articles, webpages, or books The success of your research depends on searching the right keywords, especially in its initial stages. Brainstorm a list of keywords, including synonyms.  For example, if you're researching the prevalence of vaping among teenagers, you might also include "adolescents" and "youth" as synonyms for teenagers, along with "tobacco use" or "e-cigarettes" as synonyms for vaping. Take advantage of academic databases available online through your school in addition to the internet. The letters stand for Currency, Reliability, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose/Point of view. This method provides you an easy way to quickly and uniformly evaluate the quality of potential sources you find by asking specific questions about the source:   Currency: How recent is the information? When was the source last updated?  Reliability: Are there references for facts and data? Is the content mostly opinion?  Authority: Who is the creator of the content? Who is the publisher? Are they biased in any way? Does the creator have academic credentials in the field?  Accuracy: Has the content been peer-reviewed or edited by a third party? Is information supported by evidence? Can you easily verify facts in another source?  Purpose/Point of view: Is the content intended to teach you something or to sell you something? Is the information presented biased? When you find a good source for your topic, chances are that source cites other valuable sources that you can look up. The biggest benefit of this is that you don't have to do as much work evaluating the quality of these sources – the author of the source that cited them has already done that for you.  If an author mentions a particular source more than once, you definitely want to read that material. The reference list typically contains enough information for you to find the source on your own. If you find that you can't access the source, for example, because it's behind a paywall, talk to your school or a public librarian about it. They may be able to get you access. Using a set of index cards enables you to place each note on a separate card, which will make it easier for you to organize your notes later. There are also computer apps, such as Evernote, Microsoft OneNote, or Scrivener, that will allow you to do this digitally. Some of these apps are free, while others require you to purchase a subscription.  List the citation information for the source at the top of the card, then take notes in your own words. Include the page numbers (if applicable) that you would use in your citation. If you copy something directly from the source, put quote marks around those words and write the page number (if applicable) where that quote appears. You may also want to distinguish quotes even further, for example, by having quotes in a different color text than your own words. This will help protect you against accidental plagiarism.
Summary: Identify the types of sources you'll likely need. Use topical keywords to find your initial sources. Evaluate potential sources using the CRAAP method. Mine reference lists to find additional sources you can use. Take notes about each resource you find.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Cut lines through the ivy along the ground in order to divide it into large sections. This will make it much easier to remove the ivy from the ground. Pull the sections apart from one another as you cut. Work carefully around plants and saplings you want to keep. If you're working on a hill, cut vertical lines from the top of the hill to the bottom to create sections that you can roll downhill. Lift the edge of one section of ivy and roll it forward on top of itself. Keep rolling the ivy forward until the entire section has been rolled up into a big log of ivy. Move the log to a separate area and continue rolling up sections until you've cleared the area. Mulching the ivy rolls is the best way to dispose of them and ensure they won't take root in the area again. English ivy is difficult to kill with herbicides alone because the plant's leaves contain a waxy barrier that is difficult for products to penetrate. Therefore, the most effective method is to combine manual removal with the use of a herbicide. Glyphosate is the chemical that works most effectively to kill English ivy.  Spray the area of ivy you wish to kill, but be careful the glyphosate doesn't reach other plants you want to keep. Herbicides are slow-acting, and must be reapplied every six weeks or so. If you have a patch of ivy you want to preserve, but you'd like to prevent it from spreading, you can use mulch to keep it contained. Simply cover the border of the ivy you want to keep with several inches (about 7 to 8 inches) of shredded or wood chip mulch. You will need to give this method some time; leave the mulch on the ivy for at least 2 seasons. You may need to add new mulch one or more times during a growing season. Another option is to trim the ivy back to contain it. Use a weed eater or edging tool to cut the vines along the border.

SUMMARY:
Cut the ivy into sections. Roll the sections off the ground. Use herbicides as an alternative. Use mulch to contain ivy you want to keep.
