INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Since uterine cancer affects the uterus, every woman is at risk for contracting this type of cancer (unless you’ve had a hysterectomy). However it is most common for women over the age of 50 who have gone through menopause.  One major risk factor for developing uterine cancer is taking hormones or other drugs. These hormone risks include using estrogen without also using progesterone, or taking Tamoxifen – a drug used to treat certain forms of breast cancer. There are also certain physical factors that can contribute to an increased risk of contracting uterine cancer. Major bodily factors include being obese, being a smoker, or having a history of uterine, colon, or ovarian cancer in your family. You are also a greater risk if you have had problems getting pregnant or if you had fewer than five periods a year before beginning menopause. Another risk factor is suffering from endometrial hyperplasia. Abnormal bleeding or postmenopausal bleeding is the most common early symptom of endometrial cancer. If you notice any vaginal bleeding that is not normal for you and your monthly cycle, you should be mindful of your symptoms so that you can recall them for your doctor.  If the abnormal bleeding continues for any considerable amount of time (more than a few days) or if it happens during several monthly cycles in a row, consider notifying your doctor. Check for bleeding between periods. If you notice bleeding between periods, this can be a symptom of uterine cancer.  Be wary of bleeding that last longer or is heavier than normal. If your menstrual cycle changes in any way, this can be a symptom of a problem with your reproductive system, including uterine cancer. Look for changes like heavier periods than normal, longer periods than normal, or increased PMS symptoms (cramps, fatigue, etc.). Keep a journal recording these occurrences. Bleeding, even a small amount (also known as spotting), after having gone through menopause can be problematic for many reasons. One of these reasons is the possibility of uterine cancer. If you are vaginally bleeding after menopause, you should consult your doctor immediately. Since menopause eliminates your body’s need to go through the menstrual cycle every month, any bleeding after menopause can be problematic and should be taken seriously. Take the time to notice if your menstrual periods last longer than seven days. A longer than average menstrual cycle can be indicative of problems with your reproductive system, including uterine cancer. Keep track of how many days your period lasts for several cycles in a row so you can tell your doctor. A doctor can help you regulate your periods so that they are more manageable and make sure there are no underlying problems causing the longer periods.

SUMMARY: Know the risk factors. Notice if you have abnormal vaginal bleeding. Watch for bleeding after menopause. Track your cycle.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In a small mixing bowl, combine two parts baking soda with one part vegetable oil. With your clean fingers or a kitchen utensil, mix the soda and oil until it forms a thick, well blended paste. Make enough paste to lightly coat all greasy surfaces of your cabinets.  As an example, if you plan on using 2 tbsp (30 ml) of oil, you’d need to use 4 tbsp (59 ml) of baking soda. Alternatively, you could substitute mineral oil in place of vegetable oil. Use the same amount of mineral oil as you would vegetable oil.  Test this paste on an out of sight spot on your cabinets. Some finishes may react negatively to baking soda’s mild abrasive properties. The cleaning paste should be quite thick. While cleaning your cabinets, it’s likely that some of this paste will fall onto the area beneath them, along with absorbed grease and grime. Lay out a cover, like newspaper, a drop cloth, or an old towel, under your cabinets to catch falling paste. Scoop up a small amount of the paste with your fingers. Gently rub the paste onto all dirty surfaces of the cabinet in a thin coat. Pay close attention to handles, where grease and buildup collect naturally. Use a non-abrasive sponge or soft, lint-free dishcloth to lightly scrub the paste on your cabinets. Work it into nooks, crannies, and cracks in the grain. For narrow spaces or detail cleaning, use a toothbrush. Cleanse your sponge or dishcloth by rinsing it in clean water. When clean, wring it out so it is damp. Wipe away any paste still on your cabinets with the sponge or cloth. Dry the surface of the cabinets with a soft, lint-free drying cloth. If any grease remains, spot clean it with leftover paste in the fashion described. When your cabinets are clean, remaining paste can be thrown away.

SUMMARY: Create a paste with baking soda and vegetable oil. Cover the area beneath your cabinets. Apply the paste to the cabinets with your clean fingers. Scrub the paste to remove grease. Remove the paste and wipe the cabinets dry.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Certain medical conditions could prevent you from boxing. Make sure to consult a physician before you start training. If you are prone to seizures or have a neurological problem, you should not spar. Talk to your doctor to see what they recommend.  For some conditions you'll be able to train, but will be advised against fighting. If you have heart disease, asthma, diabetes, cancer, or lung disease, consult a doctor before starting a new workout routine. Learning how to fight without the proper training can be a detriment. You could be utilizing poor technique during practice and reinforcing bad habits which may be hard to unlearn down the road. You also could be practicing in an unsafe environment and could hurt yourself or your training partner. When starting off, go to a certified gym with trainers who have experience. Your hands are the most valuable tool for boxing and must be preserved for you to compete. Many amateurs will put on boxing gloves without wrapping their hands first. This could cause serious injuries in your hand, knuckles, or wrists that could end your boxing career. Wrapping your hands will prevent injury and reduce swelling and pain after punching. Always take precautions or someone could get seriously injured. Wear a mouthguard, headgear, and a cup so that you protect yourself during practice.  Sparring without a mouthguard could result in a cut lip, cut tongue, or a broken tooth. Even light punches could cause serious injury if protective gear is not worn. Your experience as a boxer also comes with a new responsibility to keep a calm and cool head when outside of the gym. Taking your skills to the street and provoking fights could get yourself or someone else seriously injured or could even be fatal. Because you're the one with the training, you could face serious penalties or jail time. Avoid fights at all costs and try to resolve your problems with words.  In dire circumstances use your skills for self-defense. To avoid a fight you could say something like, "I'm a trained fighter and I do not want to fight you. Please leave me alone." Your instructor will know how to train you safely and properly. Even if you have experience competing, always remain respectful towards your instructor. They may see something that you can improve on. Ultimately they are the expert, and you are the student so you must follow their directions to improve.

SUMMARY:
Go to a doctor before you start boxing. Don't fight without proper training. Keep your hands wrapped when punching. Always wear protective gear when sparring. Never start fights. Respect and listen to your instructor.
