INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You should discuss your options, even over-the-counter and home remedies, with your doctor before treatment. This is especially true if you have medical problems, allergies, are pregnant, or are treating a child.Remember that most of the available options will make you drowsy, and they should be taken about 30 minutes prior to your trip.  Gravol or Dramamine (Dimenhydrinate), from the anti-histamine family, is an excellent option. It is available over-the-counter and helps to reduce motion sickness. Other antihistamines including diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can also be helpful, especially for children. Zofran (Ondansetron) is a prescription anti-nausea medication that your physician may offer you if Gravol or Dramamine alone is insufficient. Other anti-nausea medications may also be recommended. Ginger is a natural remedy for nausea. Drinking ginger tea, taking ginger pills (available over-the-counter), and even chewing raw ginger sometimes helps cure a person's nausea. Sipping ginger-ale, or eating foods with ginger (such as ginger cookies, as long as they contain natural ginger and not just artificial flavoring) can also be of help. These are available over-the-counter and are called the Scopolamine Transdermal Patch. They are small patches that are placed behind the ear and release the anti-nausea medication slowly. They can last up to 3 days. Place the patch behind your ear approximately 4 hours before you need it to kick in. Because it is more slow-release than medications in pill form, it is important to apply it well in advance.

SUMMARY: Talk to your doctor before taking medications. Try ginger. Use an anti-nausea patch.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Just as you did with the cardinal numbers, learn the ordinals by repeating the words until you've committed them to memory. The ordinals for first through fifth are:  First: "Primo" (PREE-moh) Second: "Secondo" (seh-COHN-doh) Third: "Terzo" (TEHRT-soh) Fourth: "Quarto" (KWAHR-toh) Fifth: "Quinto" (KWEEN-toh) Sixth: "Sesto" (SEHS-toh) Seventh: "Settimo" (SEH-TEE-moh) Eighth: "Ottavo" (OH-TAH-voh) Ninth: "Nono" (NOH-noh) Tenth: "Decimo" (deh-CHEE-moh) In regular speech, you're unlikely to need ordinals past the tenth. However, if you do need to create larger ordinals, simply drop the final vowel of the word for the cardinal number and add the suffix "-esimo." For example, 30th (30º, if writing in Italian) would be "ventesimo" (vehn-TEH-see-moh). Note that when pronouncing the word, the stress falls on the first syllable of the suffix. If you ever had any reason to mention the 642nd, you would write "seicentoquarantaduesimo." In English, you might refer to the "first of April" or "September eleventh." However, ordinals are never used this way in Italian. When speaking of a date, use the regular cardinal number, regardless of whether you say the day of the month before or after the name of the month. For example, if you were discussing April Fools' Day, and wanted to tell an Italian friend that it occurred on the first of April every year, you would say "uno Aprile," not "primo Aprile."

SUMMARY: Start with the ordinals for first through fifth. Continue with the ordinals for sixth through tenth. Add the suffix "-esimo" to form ordinals beyond the tenth. Avoid using ordinal numbers for dates.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are in a situation where other people are shooting each other or someone is shooting at people that aren't you, your main goal should be to get as far away as possible. If you see that you can reasonably get away, do that as soon as you hear shots. If you don't know where the shots are coming from but you know there is a secure room very near by, go there. If you do not see a way to leave, then you will want to find cover. Get behind something that can stop bullets, preferably, like a very solid object. Thin walls or a door is not enough, though it can keep a shooter from realizing you're there. Cars are not bulletproof even though an engine block or some police car doors will stop bullets, even small calibers can penetrate a pair of doors or a trunk. Stay behind the cover, and if it is large enough get on the ground. Lying on the ground significantly reduces the likelihood of you getting shot. Do not stop to gather your belongings before fleeing an area. This can significantly impact the amount of time you have to get away and make a big difference in your ability to get away before the shooter realizes you're there. Just go. You're more important than your wallet. While taking cover or fleeing, be as quiet as possible. Breathe slowly and avoid crying. Alerting the shooter to your presence can put you in danger. Don't talk with people nearby or make phone calls. If you can, turn a phone on silent. Text if you want to get someone's help or attention. Once you are in cover, stay in cover. Do not move from one cover to another unless you absolutely have to. Staying put will also reduce the amount of noise you make and draw less attention to your presence. If you can take cover in a single, secure room, be sure to barricade the entrances. Lock doors, move heavy pieces of furniture to block the doors, cover windows if you can, and turn off lights and anything which makes sounds. Stay quiet and move as little as possible. Once you are in a relatively safe place, either barricaded or at least under cover, simply wait for help. This is the only thing you can do. Most shootings last less than three minutes, so while it may seem to last forever, you are unlikely to have to wait for help for very long.

SUMMARY: Leave the area if you can. Find cover. Leave your belongings. Stay quiet. Don't move. Barricade yourself. Wait for help to arrive.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Cool water can help take the sting out of the cut. Be gentle with your wound. Scrubbing too hard can open up the paper cut further. In the absence of cool, running tap water, utilize a bulb syringe or poke a hole in a plastic bottle and squeeze. The properties that kill bacteria can also damage healthy cell tissue. While they rarely cause serious harm, they could slow your rate of healing. If the cut is bleeding a lot or it doesn't stop quickly, stop it by applying gentle pressure with a clean washcloth or bandage. Keep it clean. The air will help dry it out and within a day you’ll hardly remember it happened.

SUMMARY:
Rinse the cut with cool, clean water to remove any dirt or debris. Scrub gently with water and mild soap. Rinse your wound under cool, clean water until all the soap has been rinsed away. Avoid hydrogen peroxide, isopropyl alcohol, or iodine. Stop the bleeding if necessary. Let your paper cut heal on its own.
