INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you feel pressure, severe pain, tenderness, muscle tightness, tingling, burning, weakness, or numbness in the area around the bruise, you may have compartment syndrome. Call emergency services so you can get to a hospital immediately. Compartment syndrome occurs when there is swelling and/or bleeding in a muscle compartment. The pressure in the muscle compartment decreases the amount of blood flow to the area, which can cause nerve and muscle damage. If a lump forms on top of the bruise, it could be a hematoma. Visit your healthcare provider as soon as possible, as the blood may need to be drained from the area. A hematoma forms when blood pools under the surface of the skin, causing swelling. If the skin is broken and the area around the bruise is red, hot, or oozing pus, it may indicate an infection. Similarly, if you have a fever, this could also be due to an infection. If you notice these symptoms, make an appointment to see your healthcare provider as soon as possible.

SUMMARY: Call emergency services if you feel extreme pressure around the bruise. Seek medical attention if you have a lump over the bruise. Visit a healthcare provider if you think you have a fever or infection.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The socks you wear can have a significant effect on the fit of your new cowboy boots, so take that into account when trying your boots on for the first time.  Make sure to wear socks similar to those you intend to wear regularly in cowboy boots.  Choosing socks that reach your pant leg or even the full height of the boot can prevent skin irritation from the boot rubbing on your bare skin. Pay attention to the thickness of your socks when determining if a boot is loose or tight. The ball of your foot should be situated at the widest point in the boot to make sure your boots won’t cause any undue stress in your feet.  If you place the ball of your foot in the widest portion of the boot and your heel is not near the back of the boot, you will need a smaller size. If your toes and heel make it difficult to place the ball of your foot in the widest portion of the boot, you will need a bigger size. It’s important to make sure you have sufficient room for your toes and that your heel doesn’t slip around as you walk.  Even if you have the ball of your foot placed properly, some styles of boot may limit toe room or fit on your foot in an odd way.  You should have about a thumb width of space between the end of your toe and the tip of the boot. Your heel should not slide up and down at all in the boot as you walk, this could cause blisters and make wearing the boots painful. Wearing boots that are too narrow for your feet can cause pain simply by wearing them, and would certainly causes issues if you intend to work while wearing your boots.  Look down while wearing the boots.  They should be snug, but you should be able to see the stitching on the outsole of the boot on either side while they’re on. If the boots are too wide, that looseness could also cause your heel to rub, creating blisters.  Women’s Cowboy Boots are typically sized in A, B and C widths, while Men’s Cowboy Boots are typically sized in B, D and EE widths. While cowboy boots that fit well should be comfortable right out of the box, they will grow more comfortable as you break them in by wearing them.  Leather boots eventually take on the shape of your foot and can become extremely comfortable.  Wear your boots often while standing and walking to break them in quickly. Breaking in boots can cause blisters, so be sure to take good care of your feet and wear fresh socks when wearing your cowboy boots.

SUMMARY: Wear the right socks. Make sure the ball of your foot is in widest part of the boot. Check your toes and heels. Make sure your boots are wide enough. Break them in.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place the planted containers where they will be exposed to at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight each day.  In very hot climates, it is best if the direct sunlight exposure is in the morning and early afternoon as the hot, scalding afternoon sun can cause damage to the leaves and fruit. Setting the tree containers on wheeled carts is a good way to move them around with ease. Gardeners might also consider investing in a dolly. One downside to growing fruit in pots is the necessity for frequent irrigation. Soil in containers dries out much more quickly than ground soil.  Check the containers every morning and evening. Water the fruit plant, tree or bush when the top inch or two of soil becomes dry and apply the water until it drains from the bottom of the container. Watering plants with spoiled milk is a good way to both stave off powdery mildew and add some nutrients to the soil at the same time. Fertilizer must also be applied to potted fruit plants  more frequently. A balanced 10-10-10 water-soluble fertilizer should be given every two weeks or so.  Follow the fertilizer manufacturer’s recommendations for dilution instructions and application frequency. Always water first then apply the diluted fertilizer. Do not apply fertilizer after mid- to late summer to avoid new, tender leaf growth coming into the winter months. Gardeners should make sure that their fruit plants have good drainage. Adding horticultural or washed playground sand to the potting soil prior to planting is an excellent way to improve drainage. Another idea is to set the plant off the ground by using planter “feet” or bricks. This may also help keep out ants. Gravel placed at the bottom of fruit tree pots will prevent the containers from becoming top-heavy. Taller fruit trees may also need stakes or trellises to keep them upright, especially when bearing fruit. In the winter, even fruit trees and bushes that are hardy enough to take the cold temperatures should be moved indoors or to a protected location in late fall when they are grown in containers.  A garage where the temperatures do not drop much below freezing is fine or, where winter temperatures tend to get very cold, a basement or cool room in the house works well. Over the winter, you should water the plants lightly when the soil becomes dry.

SUMMARY: Keep the potted fruit trees in direct sunlight for most of the day. Keep the fruit trees well-watered. Apply fertilizer every two weeks. Make sure the containers are draining properly. Once the fruit starts to grow, prevent the plants from toppling over. Move the containers indoors over the winter months.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you want to create high-quality recordings of your Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, or any other game console, you'll want to use a capture device that records video to your computer. These consoles don't have built-in recording options, and a capture device will result in a perfect recording. Some of the more popular capture devices include:  Hauppauge HD PVR 2 Elgato Game Capture HD Blackmagic Intensity AVerMedia Live Gamer Extreme The process for this varies depending on the capture device you are using. Typically the software will come on a disc with the capture device. If you don't have the disc, you can download the software from the manufacturer's support site. Most capture devices will connect to your computer via USB. Try to use a USB 3.0 port if you have one for the best performance. Do not plug it into a USB hub, as this will usually slow things down too much. Plug the game console's video and audio cables into the capture device instead of your TV, using the IN ports. Use the OUT ports on the capture device to connect it to the TV. This will pass the signal from your console through the capture box back to the TV, allowing the capture box to record the signal in between. After everything is hooked up properly, start the recording software that came with your capture device. The interface will vary depending on the capture device you are using. Start playing your game on the console. You should see a small version of your TV's display in the recording program on the computer. Once you're at a spot that you want to start recording, click the Record button in the capture program. Depending on your settings, the video may be saved to your Videos folder or another location on your computer.

SUMMARY:
Purchase a capture device for your computer. Install the capture device software on your computer. Connect the capture device to your computer via USB. Connect the game console to the capture device. Connect the capture device to your TV. Start the recording program on your computer. Play and record your game.
