INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place one end of the reed in your mouth and allow your saliva to moisten it for about a minute. Then turn the reed around and moisten the other end in your mouth for a minute. Be careful not to cut your tongue since reeds sometimes have sharp edges. You could also just soak the reed in a cup of water for a couple of minutes. Take the reed out of your mouth and place its flat side against the flat part of the mouthpiece. The thin, curved end of the reed should line up exactly with the thin, curved tip of the mouthpiece. If it's not lined up properly, the saxophone will make a squeaking noise when you blow air through it. Make sure that the wider end of the ligature slides on first to match the shape of the mouthpiece. Hold the reed in place with your thumb while you line the ligature up with the widest part of the mouthpiece. If the ligature is too tight to fit over the reed, loosen it by turning the screws counterclockwise.  The screws should be on the thick bottom part of the reed. A little bit of the reed will extend past the bottom of the ligature. Still holding the reed in place with your thumb, use your other hand to tighten the ligature. Turn the screws clockwise until you feel a little bit of resistance. It should be just tight enough that the reed can no longer move around. Do not tighten past this point since you could damage the reed.

SUMMARY: Moisten your reed by placing it on your tongue. Line up the curved tip of the reed with the curved tip of the mouthpiece. Slide the ligature onto the mouthpiece and over the reed. Tighten the ligature by twisting the screws.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: when addressing bad behavior. No matter how frustrated you become, breathe deeply and stay calm. Children are better prepared to hear what you say if you are calm and rational. Take some deep breaths, count backward from 10 (or 50!), and visualize a peaceful scene before you address the problem. 1-year-olds do not understand cause and effect well, and yelling will only frighten and upset them. Your child will learn to be afraid of you instead of learning how to behave. You want to administer discipline as soon as possible so that they connect it to the specific improper behavior. Still, if you need, take a moment or two to center yourself so that you can address your child in the best way possible – calmly and rationally. Shouting is never appropriate and will seldom have a positive effect, so if you find that you are raising your voice, disengage and let the teaching moment pass. There will be plenty more. Evidence continues to mount that physical punishments like spanking are ineffective and may in fact contribute to future anti-social behaviors. Physical punishment is particularly unhelpful for very young children, since they cannot truly yet connect the effect (the pain of your discipline) with the cause (their bad behavior). "My parents spanked me and I turned out fine" is not a good rationale. You probably also rode in the car without a car seat, and may have ridden your bike without a helmet. ” Highlight good behavior, and, when it is necessary to call your child's attention to bad behavior, make it a point not to call your child “bad.” 1-year-olds are just learning how the world works. They are not “bad” – they just don't know better. Instead of “Bad Jeremy! Don't hit Daddy!”, try “It hurts Daddy when Bobby hits me — ouch!” For the word “no” to have maximum impact, reserve it for times when it is really necessary — for example, if your child is doing something dangerous. Otherwise, take care to frame your sentence as a positive: say, “Color on the paper!” rather than “No! Don't color on the wall!” Rather than “No food on the floor!”, go with “Let's keep our food on our tray.” Children can begin to learn, at this stage, that their behavior affects other people. For example, a 1-year-old child can learn, with repetition, that throwing food makes you angry. Explain these dynamics as often as needed, in a calm tone.  “Sissy gets sad and doesn't want to play with you when you take toys from her.” “When you bite Mommy, it means I have to stop playing blocks with you.” If your child is about to touch something they shouldn't or is exhibiting early signs of other bad behavior, offer a distracting alternative. 1-year-olds are easily distracted with safe and interesting toys. Follow up with discipline only if the unwanted behavior persists in spite of your attempt to divert it.
Summary: Keep your cool Refrain from yelling. Avoid physical discipline, especially with small kids. Do not call your child “bad. Use “no” sparingly. Teach your child how to interact with other people. Offer alternatives when bad behavior is imminent.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A lot of the time we can get so caught up in working to improve the globe as a whole that we forget there are lots of things that we can do every day at home that have a positive impact too. One of the best things you can do easily and every day is to treat others how you want to be treated. Do something nice for someone as often as you can. This can be small things like making someone a birthday present, or big things like driving someone around until they get their car fixed. When we work together, everything runs more smoothly and we're better able to further invest those gains in benefiting the rest of the globe. Set a good example for your friends and family members, and educate them on the issues so that they can make good decisions too. Help them to understand why these things are important, so that they're also motivated to change their lives. By changing a few minds you can double, triple, or even more greatly increase your positive impact on the world. Almost any job that you get can have a positive impact on your community. You'll be providing a service to people who want it and adding to the economy in your immediate area, improving the lot of everyone around you. It will also give you money that you can use to donate to charity or fund small business loans! When we're surrounded by people who are negative and mean, it makes us sad and pessimistic, making it much harder to get through the other difficulties in life. Let your attitude show everyone that a smile and hopeful attitude can really improve the day of everyone around you. By finding the upsides in tough situations and working hard to fix problems, you can positively impact the people you come into contact with. We have lots of opportunities to be nice and helpful to other people every day. Many times we don't take the opportunity because we think we're too busy or someone else will help. If you want to make the world around you better, just do the right thing and help, instead of thinking that it's someone else's problem.  For example, if someone is carrying groceries to their car and they drop a bag, help them by picking up the groceries and loading them back into the bag. The simple things like that are very much appreciated by anyone!

SUMMARY:
Be nice. Set a good example. Get a job. Be positive. Be helpful to everyone.
