Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Breastfeed your baby for a year. Feed your child sitting up. Work on allergies. Skip the cigarette smoke.

Answer: Breastfed children are less likely to develop ear infections. Try to breastfeed for the first six months at least, but breastfeeding for a full year is better if you are able to manage it. Your breast milk provides your child with antibodies that help fight off ear infections. When children lay down to drink a bottle, they are more likely to develop an ear infection. When the child is on their back, fluid can flow into their ears, which can cause an infection. Make sure your child is at a 45-degree angle when drinking from a bottle. Those prone to allergies are more likely to develop ear infections, both children and adults. If you can work on controlling allergies, you can help reduce the likelihood that you or your child will develop an ear infection.  You can take antihistamines to help reduce your allergies, as well as trying to avoid spending long periods outdoors when allergy counts are high. Stay hydrated to thin mucus and consider using a steam treatment or humidifier to help loosen mucus.  If your allergies are severe, talk to your doctor about other treatments. You and your child should avoid cigarette smoke for many health-related reasons, but one in particular is that exposure to cigarette smoke can increase your chances of developing ear infections. Try to avoid all cigarette smoke, including secondhand smoke. Bad air quality can have similar effects as cigarette smoke, increasing the risk for ear infections.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Practice moving yourself forward. Practice turning, or carving, on your longboard. Find a way to stop your skateboard or to slow down. Practice sliding after you've mastered these concepts. Save yourself some road rash and learn to slide with gloves before you get going really fast. Don't worry if your board doesn't look like the one in the videos. Have fun but be careful.

Answer: Take your back foot off the board and use the ground as something to push off of. You can go for one big push, or several smaller pushes.  Try to keep your body loose as you push off; the stiffer your body is, the harder it will be to keep your balance.  If you want to use your front foot to push off, give it a try. Most boarders don't do this — it's called "mongo" — but it's more important do ride comfortably than do what other people do.  After you get the hang of it, practice generating more speed by doing harder kicks. You'll find that, after you've gotten to a certain speed, one good push will keep you going for quite a while. You'll need to practice turning on your board if you want to ride around. Turning is quite easy. All you have to do is put pressure down on one side of the board, leaning in that direction, and you'll turn:  Heel edge carving: you move your heels downward and you turn to your inside. Heel edge turns for people who ride regular give you left turns. Toe edge carving: you move your toes downward and you turn to your outside. Toe edge turns for people who ride regular give you right turns. Foot-braking, where you drag one foot on the ground, is probably the most reliable way to stop or slow down: you're creating a lot of friction with your foot, thereby slowing the momentum of the board down. Other ways that you can break include:  Carving: snaking down the hill by leaning from side to side pushes on your wheels and will help keep speed down. Air braking: at high speeds, simply standing up and putting your arms out can slow you considerably. If you ever want to go faster than you can run, save yourself some road rash by learning how to slide. In order to slide, you should either buy slide gloves, or attach squares of cutting board (find it in the supermarket) to work gloves. Once you have your gloves, you're ready to go learn to slide! In order to slide:  Point your front foot forward while bending your knees; shift your weight to the front. Slide your back foot off your board, flexing your front knee to make contact with the ground. Apply gradual pressure to stop Try not to use your toes or heel to touch the ground; instead, opt for the middle of your sole. It is also very important you don't put weight on your back foot. Doing that will almost ensure you will slip backwards. Try to keep more weight on the foot you have in front, leaning forwards is much safer than leaning back. Start slow, and work your way up. Rome wasn't built in a day. Getting comfortable with a board takes time and the techniques work for almost any shape and size board. Hard wheels (durometer of at least 86a) break traction easier, making learning to slide easier Longboarding is a ton of fun, but pushing it too hard can cause serious injury. You never think it'll be you until it actually happens to you. Be mindful of potentially dangerous situations and prepare accordingly or take yourself out of them before it's too late. That being said, have a blast cruising on your new toy!


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Fix dark spots. Reduce wrinkles. Heal puffy eyes. Treat blemishes.

Answer: Dark spots, or discolorations, are one of the most common facial skin problems that people deal with. You want your skin to look even, so it's troublesome to deal with dark spots. Fortunately, there are ways to fix them. For spots, you'll need to add a spot treatment to your nightly skin care regimen. Each evening, dab a skin-correcting product to the discolored spots on your face. For dark spots, look for products that contain a retinoid. This chemical contains a lot of vitamin A, which will speed the correction of your problem areas. Wrinkles trouble many people, especially as they age. There are many products that can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, so be sure to ask your dermatologist or a skincare specialist for a recommendation. There are also some tips you can try that don't require products. For example, try sleeping on your back. This reduces pressure (and the formation of wrinkles) on your face. Fine lines are very common around the eyes. One way to take care of these are to avoid squinting. Get some reading glasses if you find yourself straining to see. Also, make sure to wear sunglasses when you are out and about. Tired, puffy eyes are caused by a lot of things: crying, lack of sleep, allergies. Fortunately, there are also a lot of remedies for this common facial skin problem, and many of them are easy to do at home. For example, try cold spoons. Put a few metal spoons in your fridge and let them cool for about five or six minutes. Lay down and press the rounded side of the spoon (the side that does not hold food) to your eyelids until it becomes room temperature. Bonus: it also feels very refreshing! You can also use the same method with chilled sliced cucumbers. Rest the slices on your eyes for 10 minutes. Repeat with freshly chilled cucumbers as necessary. Pimples (or zits) are probably the number one facial skin complaint. When faced with a blemish, you should definitely avoid picking at it — that will only cause inflammation and possibly infection. Instead, try a dermatologist-recommended home remedy. Take one tablet of aspirin and crush it. Add a bit of water to make a paste. Apply the paste to your blemish, using a cotton swab. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water.  Another simple remedy is to hold an ice cube on your pimple. This will reduce swelling and inflammation. Hold in place for about five minutes, or until the ice begins to melt. Wipe some fresh lemon juice on your pimple and leave it there overnight. The acid in lemon juice makes it an excellent astringent, which can treat your blemish.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Notice when someone needs help. Support someone in need. Stand up to bullying. Take a stand against racism. Stand up to sexism. Get involved in your community.

Answer:
Anyone can act heroic by recognizing when someone else is in need and taking action to help them. For example, if you see your neighbor struggling with shoveling snow from their driveway, offer to help. This might not seem like a significant gesture, but to your neighbor, who might be suffering from an illness or injury, you have acted heroic. Whether it’s a friend, colleague, or family member, reaching out and supporting someone when they are in a rough place is a heroic act. For example, if you have a friend who is dealing with a divorce, offer to talk a weekly walk with her. Listen to her and be supportive. People around the world suffer from bullying each day. This can happen in a seventh-grade classroom or in a boardroom at a Fortune 500 company. No matter the venue, it is important to act heroic and take a stand if you witness someone being bullied.  If you see someone being bullied at school, step in and say, “Jeremy, it’s not okay that you’re making fun of Liz.” If you witness bullying at work, consider stepping in and reporting the behavior to your supervisor. Standing up against racism can help support the victim. It also can demonstrate to the perpetrator that their behavior is unacceptable; it can even stop the perpetrator from engaging in racist acts in the future.  If you see racist behavior in public, say something. It can be as straightforward as asking, “Why don’t you leave her alone?” If you don’t feel safe, tell someone who might be able to help like a security guard or bus driver. If you witness racist behavior online, report it. If the perpetrator is a friend, say something like, “Your Facebook post is racist. It is not okay to make fun of someone because they are Asian American.” Discrimination and harassment based on sex is unfortunately a regular occurrence. If you witness sexism, take a stand and speak up. You can act heroic by responding to sexism at work, at school, and in public. If your boss is making sexist comments about your co-worker, report the behavior to human resources or through the appropriate channels. You might also consider joining a community group or even participating in local politics. At the very least, stay up to date on local news, politics, and events to stay in the loop and learn about ways that you can help.
