Problem: Article: While you might be nervous, talking to your neighbor is often the best way to fix the problem. It’s likely that your neighbor doesn’t know their smoke is entering your apartment, and they may not even know it’s dangerous. Approach your neighbor in a calm, helpful manner to talk about the issue. You might knock on the door and say, “Hi, I’m your neighbor Maggie. I was hoping I could talk to you for a few minutes.” Tell your neighbor exactly what you’re experiencing, such as seeing visible smoke drifting through the vents, smelling smoke, or having health issues. Let them know that you and your family members are having trouble breathing because of the smoke. You might say, “I’m sure you don’t realize this, but smoke is drifting from your apartment into mine. We can see it coming in through the vents and smell it in every room. It’s causing us to have trouble breathing.” Don’t assume that your neighbor already knows that secondhand smoke is harmful. It’s possible that they think their habit isn’t hurting anyone. Show them a brochure or handout that explains how dangerous the smoke is. Then, let them know that you’re worried about how the smoke is affecting your family. Say something like, “I know it seems like the smoke is only affecting you, but we’re breathing it in, as well. Secondhand smoke might make my asthma worse and could cause serious health issues, like lung cancer. I’m worried that my family’s health is at risk.” Tell your neighbor that you aren’t trying to control their behavior or stop them from smoking. Then, ask them if they’d be willing to make changes so that the smoke won’t come into your apartment. Bring a list of suggestions, but be open to their ideas, as well. You might say, “I’m not here to tell you what to do or try to stop you from smoking. I just wanted to find a way for you to continue doing what you like without the smoke coming into my apartment. Can we talk about a compromise?” You might feel defeated if your neighbor keeps polluting your home with smoke, but you still have options. Your landlord may be willing to help you, and your city or county may have laws that protect you. If the problem persists, it's time to contact your landlord.
Summary: Talk to your neighbor if you know where the smoke is coming from. Explain that the smoke is coming into your apartment. Discuss the dangers of secondhand smoke. Work with your neighbor to find a compromise. Take the issue to your landlord if your neighbor refuses to change.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your cut is deep, wide, or jagged, your doctor may decide that you need stitches (a.k.a. sutures) or staples for it to heal well. When a doctor stitches or staples a cut, he or she will first clean the cut and give you numbing medicine by injecting it around the wound. After the doctor completes the stitches, he or she will dress the cut with a bandage or gauze.  Stitches use a sterile surgical needle and thread to join the edges of a cut together. They can be absorbable, and dissolve over time, or non-absorbable, and will need to be removed after the wound heals. Staples used on cuts are special surgical staples that perform the same task at stitches and must be removed like non-absorbable stitches. It is important to take care of your stitches or staples to make sure the wound heals well and does not get infection. To do this:  Keep your stitches or staples dry and covered with a bandage for several days. The doctor should tell you how long this should be. It is usually one to three days depending on the type of stitches and the size of the wound. Once you can get them wet, gently wash the wound over the stitches or staples with soap and water when you shower. Do not submerge the wound underwater, like in a bath or when swimming. Too much water can slow down healing and result in infection. After washing the area, pat it dry and apply antibiotic ointment. Cover the area with a bandage or gauze unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Your doctor should tell you specifically how long to do this. Stitches can break, causing the wound to open again. Call your doctor if this happens. Call your doctor if you develop signs of infection (e.g. fever, redness, swelling, drainage of pus, or red streaks radiating from the wound). Non-absorbable stitches and staples will usually be removed five to 14 days after they are put in. Once they are out, make sure to protect the scar from the sun using sunscreen or covering it with clothes. Ask your doctor if there are any lotions or creams they can recommend to help your scar heal. Creams with vitamin E or silica in them can often help reduce keloid scars (raised, red marks) that result from major wound healing.

SUMMARY: Get stitches, or staples, applied to a severe wound by a medical professional. Take proper care of the wounded area. Avoid activities or sports that could hurt the area for at least one to two weeks. Return to your doctor's office once the wound has healed.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Guide your horse next to a mounting block. From the block, push down and lean into the saddle with your hands, allowing it to feel your weight. You may need to try this multiple times so the horse is used to having weight in the stirrups without moving away. Mount your horse and sit calmly in the saddle for a few minutes before dismounting. Knowing how to mount a horse properly will help you as a rider, and help your horse get used to the sensation. Your horse will get used to the motion of being mounted and dismounted. It will also get comfortable holding the weight of a rider. Remain in the saddle in short periods of time and don't move. This will build their strength and prevent injury to joints or muscles. When you're in the saddle, gently squeeze your horse with your legs to begin walking. If it doesn't begin walking, you can gently tap it with your heels. Low-impact, low-speed exercise done in sessions of 30 minutes to 1 hour are best for your horse’s training and health. Your horse is ready for walking if it does not flinch or resist when being saddled or mounted.
Summary:
Use a mounting block to climb in the saddle. Mount and dismount from the saddle in 10-minute intervals. Begin walking your horse while in the saddle.
