Problem: Article: If someone takes a peek inside your bag, all they will see is a pencil case. They will assume that you have a bunch of pens or pencils in there, and would never guess that you actually keep pads or tampons in there. Choose a flat pencil bag for pads. Choose a narrow pencil box for tampons. You can also use a makeup bag. A glasses or spectacles case is a discreet container for liners or tampons. How many pads or tampons you bring depends on how heavy your flow is. Some girls will need to change theirs out more often. Pads come in large, bulky packs that are hard to disguise. They also take up a lot of valuable locker space. Instead, keep enough pads to last a day or two in your locker. Bring more pads with you when you run out. Store these pads in a pencil case or a makeup bag. Choose a side pocket, or better yet, an inside pocket. Stick enough pads or tampons to last you a day or two. This way, when you have to use the restroom to change out a pad or tampon, you can take your bag with you. People will assume that you are simply protective of your belongings. Pads and tampons are the must-haves for any girl's period, however, there are a few extra items that can make the period more bearable. Here's a list of items you might want to consider having in your locker or bag:  Pain medication (note that not all jobs and schools allow this) Spare underwear in case of unexpected periods An extra sweatshirt, to tie fashionably around your waist, in the case of leaks. Feminine wipes, to clean yourself up in between changes Emergency chocolate Try to keep these (especially the feminine wipes) with the rest of your tampons or pads. This way, you will have everything together, and won't have to take as much with you when you go to the restroom. Feminine wipes are like baby wipes, but they contain no harsh chemicals and are specifically designed for sensitive regions.
Summary: Keep enough pads or tampons to last a day in a separate pencil case. Don't keep entire packs of pads in your locker. Keep some pads or tampons in your backpack. Consider having other period-related supplies handy. Keep spare underwear and feminine wipes in a makeup bag, pencil bag, or pencil case.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your core is round or has an irregular surface, you'll need to strike it with a hammerstone to create a relatively flat "platform" to start with. The stone will fracture at roughly a 50º angle from the direction of impact, so for a round rock you'll want to tilt the core to about 40º and strike straight downward. The platform must be next to a side that narrows inward. You won't be able to use any side that bulges outward from the platform, or goes straight down at a 90º angle. If you are using a core, once you have a flat platform, use your hammerstone or billet to strike off flakes, or thin, relatively flat pieces you can turn into tools. Always remember that the stone fractures at a 50º from the point of impact. To use this to your advantage, tilt the core so the platform is at a 40º angle from the vertical. Strike the lower end of the platform with the tool, hitting it with a glancing blow that carries on past the point. You may need to repeat this several times around the platform, until you get a piece that is mostly flat, and a fair amount larger than the tool you want to make.  If the material splits into three pieces, or the platform crumbles around the blow, the angle is probably too small (the blow is too direct). If you're only getting tiny chips, the angle is probably too large (the blow is too glancing). Unless you were lucky enough to get a perfect triangular or rectangular flake, you'll probably need to break it further. Do this using the same direct percussion technique, until you have a piece a bit larger than what you want to end up with, and with no concave "bites" taken out of the edge. Abrading is one of the most important processes in flint knapping. A newly struck flake typically has thin, fragile areas around the edge, which need to be ground down to a dull, thicker edge so it can withstand the impact of the tool. To accomplish this, grind the edge of your flake in a sawing motion against another flattish sort of stone of slightly lesser hardness. Old grinding wheels work well for this, or any smooth hunk of limestone. If grooves appear in the tool you are grinding with, this is a good sign, since it means the tool is softer than the flake. Once the fragile edges have chipped off or been ground down, you'll have a dependable platform able to take the extreme rigors of lithic engineering.

SUMMARY: Create a flat platform on the core (if necessary). Use direct percussion to create flakes (if necessary). Trim the flake shape. Abrade the edge of the flake.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: An allergy test may reveal that you are allergic to certain foods, which you should then eliminate from your diet. Alcohol is also an irritant and can cause inflammation leading to a stuffy nose. It is a commonly held belief that dairy increases mucus production — but this is not true. It can, however, thicken mucus, making it more difficult to expel. If home remedies don’t work for your condition, you can try using OTC sinus medicine to treat your particular condition. Be sure that the medicine you choose is designed for your sinus problem. For example, if you have seasonal allergies, you might try an antihistamine medicine. For a cold your best choice would be decongestant medicine. If neither over-the-counter medicines nor home remedies have worked well for you, you can ask your doctor about prescription options. Your doctor might recommend a prescription nasal spray or a stronger antihistamine for severe congestion due to allergies. If you talked to your general practitioner and you still aren’t getting the relief you would like from your sinus problems, make an appointment with an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist. ENT doctors specialize in sinus issues and can recommend more advanced procedures and tests to try. If you have a serious problem with your breathing, then your doctor might recommend surgery. Procedures to correct physical problems like a deviated septum or narrow nasal passages can provide relief when no other techniques have worked. Although these procedures are not extremely invasive, they are still major surgical procedures, so ask your doctor about the risks and recovery time for your procedure.
Summary:
Try eliminating dietary irritants. Try condition-specific over-the-counter medicines. Try prescription medicines. See a specialist. Consider surgery as a final option.
