Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remove the cap and twist the stick up into position. Press the stick to your face about 1 inch (2.5 cm) below your eye. Draw a horizontal line from your cheekbone to the edge of your nose. Run the stick back and forth as needed to fill in the stripe. Repeat the process on the opposite side of your face. Inspect for defects in a mirror. Use rubbing alcohol to remove your eye black after the game.

Answer: Pull off the cap the same way you would a tube of lip balm or stick of deodorant. With the cap removed, you’ll see the dark matte eye black stick inside. Twist the finger wheel on the bottom of the tube to raise the stick and ready it for use.  You’ll find eye black in the baseball aisle at any sporting goods store, as well as the sports section of your local supercenter. Always lower your eye black stick and replace the cap when you’re not using it. If you throw it back in your bag without the cap on, you’re in for a big mess! Start at the point of your cheekbone, just below and outside the outer edge of your eye. Hold the tip of the stick flat against your face at a 90-degree angle. This will help you get a thicker smudge that will block out more light. If you prefer, you can also start on the nose side of your eye and drag it outward toward your cheekbone. From your starting point, drag the stick slowly along the base of your eye using moderate pressure. Stop when you reach the part of your nose above your nostril.  It may help to watch yourself in the mirror the first few times you apply eye black. You’ll sometimes see baseball players smudging their eye black into triangles or similar designs beneath their eyes. This is just an aesthetic choice, and doesn’t make the grease any more effective. The first line you draw with your eye black may appear somewhat faint. If that’s the case, simply go back over the area a few more times until the stripe is nice and solid.  For maximum protection, your finished stripe should be 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) thick at every point. Be careful not to bring the stick too close to your lower eyelid. Getting eye black in your eye itself could cause a stinging or burning sensation or excessive tearing. Once you’ve finished applying eye black beneath one eye, move the stick over to your other eye and do the same thing. Both halves of your face should look more or less symmetrical when you’re done. Your stripes don’t have to be perfect. The important thing is that they completely cover the area around your lower eye sockets that tend to tend to reflect the most light. Take a moment to look over your handiwork and ensure that your eye black is uniform. If you find any gaps or thin spots, fill them in with additional grease, then get out there and play ball! It may be a good idea to pack a small hand mirror in your gear bag if you’re in the habit of applying your eye black on the field or in the dugout. Grab an alcohol swab or soak a cotton ball in a small amount of pure rubbing alcohol. Then, close your eye and wipe at the grease until it begins to fade. It may take a few minutes for it to disappear completely.  Be sure to follow the removal directions listed on the packaging of the product you’re using. If you don’t have any rubbing alcohol lying around, you can also wash off your eye black the old fashioned way using soap and warm water, though this may take longer.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Spot-treat your acne with tea tree oil. Apply a baking soda and water paste to your acne. Apply honey for antioxidant benefits. Take a multivitamin daily.

Answer: Tea tree oil has both anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties and can be helpful in relieving the symptoms of cystic acne. Put 2-3 drops on your finger and gently dab it onto any pimples you wish to treat once or twice daily. Leave the treated area uncovered. Baking soda has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It can also help clean your pores. Leave the paste on your acne for 10-15 minutes and then wash away with warm water. Add a dash of Epsom salts to your mixture for some added anti-inflammatory benefits. Pour a few drops of honey on your fingertips and then rub them directly on your acne. Leave the honey on for 10-15 minutes and then wash it off with warm water and a clean towel. The honey can work against free radicals in your skin and also absorb oils from your acne. Vitamin C can help your body fight off any infection your cystic acne might be causing. Zinc and vitamin A can also help keep your skin healthy and reduce inflammation. Most multivitamins should have all 3 of these and many other vitamins that are healthy for your skin.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Accept that your Cancer is old-fashioned, traditional, and loyal. Know that they may have trust issues. Realize that Cancer needs to be needed. Get ready to be supremely cared for.

Answer: These aren't bad things! In fact, they can be quite positive. When you nab a Cancer, they will be loyal to you to the moon and back. They expect you to be the definition of romance: loving, kind, maybe a bit conservative, and just as loyal as they are. Nothing wrong with that! When it comes to getting them in bed, they may be a bit vanilla. More romantic and sensual than spicy and exotic. But if you get them to trust you, they will be willing to open up their world. As long as you show them it's safe! Though trust issues are really a human thing, Cancers usually come with them right outta the gate. They want to trust others, they just find it hard. Especially with their great memories and their ability to hold grudges because of it. However, they love to love others, so it's very much so a give and take. This is probably Cancer's main drawback. It can be hard to crack their shell. But if you're willing to put in the work, it can be totally worth it. You'll find a soft, sensitive core that will put you above everyone and everything else. If this sign were given one label, it would be "nurturer." This is their default -- the only way they know how to operate. So be willing to lean on them! They love it. They thrive on it. Be open with your needs and they'll seek to fulfill them. It makes them happy! Let them take care of you when you're sick. Talk to them about a problem when one pops up. Ask them their advice for an issue at work or with your friends. Heck, let them cook you dinner! Pretty good trade, huh? Cancers are the most nurturing of all the signs. If you want a relationship that's more of the anxious and avoidant type, Cancer is not for you. They will love showing you romance and affection. Hopefully you can reciprocate! This isn't to say that they're clingy. While they can be, it's so genuine it's hard to hold it against them. They just want to be around you and show you how much they care. It's almost admirable. If only everyone loved like a Cancer can!


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Know that children need limits. Reward your child for good behavior. Be consistent. Explain your rules. Teach your child to take responsibility for his actions.

Answer:
They will ignore these limits on occasion.  Reasonable punishment is one of the ways human beings have always learned. Children must understand what punishment is for and know that its source is parental love.  As a parent, you will need cognitive tools if you are to adjust unwanted behaviours. Instead of making up a confusing, non-related punishment like, "If you ride your tricycle into the street, you will have to balance this book on your head," withdraw a privilege. The child must naturally connect the privilege withdrawal with the behavior: "If you ride your tricycle into the street, you lose the use of your tricycle for the rest of the day." Children who are spanked, hit, or slapped are more prone to fighting with other children. They are more likely to use aggression to solve disputes with others. Children exposed to family violence are also more likely to develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. . Rewarding your child for good behavior is even more important than punishing your child for bad behavior. Letting your child know when he or she is doing something right will encourage the behavior in the future. If your child behaved well, from sharing his toys at a play date to being patient during a car ride, then let him know you noticed his good behavior; don't just say nothing when your child behaves well and punish him when he does not.  Don't underestimate the importance of praising your child for good behavior. Saying, "I'm so proud of you for..." can make your child feel that his good behavior is really appreciated. You can give your child toys or treats from time to time, but don't make your child think that he deserves a toy any time he does something good. If you want to discipline your child effectively, then you have to be consistent. You can't punish your child for doing something one day, and then give him candy to stop doing it another day, or even say nothing because you're too tired to put up a fight. And if your child does something good, like using the bathroom correctly during potty training, make sure you praise your child every time. Consistency is what reinforces good and bad behavior. If you and a spouse are raising your child together, then you should be a united front against your children, using the same disciplinary methods. There should be no "good cop, bad cop" routine in your home. If you really want your child to recognize your disciplinary methods, then you have to be able to explain why your child can't do certain things. Do not just tell him not to be mean to other children, or to clean up his toys; tell him why this behavior will be good for him, for you, and for society at large. Making a connection between your child's actions and what they mean will help your child understand your decision-making process. This is an important part of disciplining your child and building his character. If he does something wrong, like throwing his food on the ground, make sure he owns up to the behavior and explains why he did it, instead of blaming it on someone else or even denying it. After your child does something naughty, have a conversation about why it happened. It's important for your child to know that everyone makes mistakes. The mistake isn't as important as the way your child reacts to it.
