INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A broken bone, whatever bone it is, is a serious injury. At the first sign of a fracture, call your veterinarian or emergency clinic for prompt treatment and relief of pain.  Your cat deserves medical care and treatment for a broken bone, even if that treatment simply means that the cat's pain is managed. Your veterinarian will assess the overall health of the cat, in addition to paying attention to the area of the suspected fracture. This will increase the veterinary bill, so prepare yourself to deal with the financial impact of the assessment and treatment. In most cases, to get a proper X-ray the cat will need to be sedated and posed in different positions. This includes on its back, on its side, from the top of the back, and, in the case of jaw fractures, at various angles with the mouth both opened and closed.  The most common way for a veterinarian to diagnose a fracture is by use of radiographs or X-rays. Many closed fractures (those beneath the skin) are easily seen once a proper X-ray is taken. In the case of an open fracture, the broken bone will be obviously sticking out of the body, but X-rays need to be taken of these fractures, as there may be other fractured bones beneath the skin. In most cases a number of X-rays need to be taken to properly assess the fracture. In some cases, specialized techniques are used to catch those fractures that are not a “simple” break. Bones can fracture in any direction (diagonally, spirally) or they can shatter into pieces. The treatment will vary depending on the type and location of the fracture. For example, many hair-line fractures will heal on their own if they are immobilized. However, open fractures and spiral fractures will likely require in-depth surgery to correct.  Many times amputation is the only solution to a broken tail. However, a fracture which only occurs at the tip can sometimes heal on its own.  Severe health problems, such as a fracture, are a good reason to invest in pet insurance. If you have pet insurance and your cat gets a devastating injury, the cost will be offset and you will not have to weigh your financial situation against the health of your pet.

SUMMARY: Take your cat to its veterinarian. Allow your veterinarian to take X-rays of the area. Follow your veterinarian's suggestions for treatment.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If necessary, pause for a moment and use your non-dominant hand to reset both chopsticks, remembering to lay the bottom one across your ring finger and the base of your thumb and keep the top one poised like a pencil. The further up or down your chopsticks slide, the more difficult it will become to use them.  Hold your chopsticks securely, but don’t squeeze them. This will just tire out your hand and cause your technique to deteriorate. Wooden and bamboo chopsticks tend to be better for beginners, since they offer a little more traction against your hand and one another. Open your chopsticks and clamp them down on a bite-sized piece of whatever you're eating. As you raise the bite to your mouth, concentrate on pressing down lightly on the upper chopstick. This will keep the food pinned between the top and bottom chopsticks, ensuring that it doesn't go anywhere.  Like anything else, becoming proficient with chopsticks just takes practice. Try moving foods of various shapes, sizes, and textures from one bowl to another slowly. This fun exercise will help you get the fundamentals down. Remember, the bottom chopstick is just there to provide support from beneath. The top chopstick is the one that should be doing all of the work.
Summary: Keep a firm grip on both chopsticks to keep them from shifting. Maintain gentle pressure on the top chopstick to hold onto your food.

Gently rub the mask you've mixed all over your face or only to those areas on which you want to get rid of acne. Allow it to dry to get the most benefits from the mask.  Do a small patch test on your skin before applying the mask to minimize the risk Be aware the mint or other ingredients may cause some tingling or could cause a reaction. If it becomes uncomfortable at any point, rinse off the mask with cool water. Try and not rub it off with a washcloth, which may increase your sensitivity. Apply the mask with your fingers or a clean cloth. Once the mask has dried, rinse it off with some cool water. Be sure to remove any residue so that you minimize the risk of irritating your skin.  Use a soft and clean cloth to remove any residue that rinsing doesn't clear away. Avoid rubbing your skin too vigorously. Use a water temperature that is comfortable for you. Cool water may feel especially good with the mint leaves. Be sure to not use water that is too hot, which can strip your skin of important oils and cause dryness and further irritation or acne. If you have any mask that you haven't used, store it for a future use. The mask may stay fresh for up to a week in the refrigerator or longer in the freezer. Place the mixture in an airtight container. You could also put the mask in a covered ice-cube tray in the freezer. If you continue to have problems with acne, re-apply any leftover mask or make a new one to deal with breakouts. Avoid doing this too often to minimize the risk of irritating your skin. Aim to apply the mask no more than twice a week.

One-sentence summary -- Apply the mask. Rinse off the mask. Store any leftover mask. Repeat application.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You do not have to express emotions with every person you talk with. When you are first expressing your emotions, you may feel silly or vulnerable, so you must choose friends and family that you trust to withhold judgments, and accept that you are striving to make changes. When you are conversing with others, exaggerate your facial expressions, hand gestures, and emotional responses. If you go over the top with your emotions, you can learn to rein in your emotional response over time.  You may feel silly being over the top about your emotions, but if you choose the right people to do this with, it will not matter, and will be of ultimate benefit to you. Be cautions when being overly expressive. Ensure you think about your emotions and actions before you act on them. If you are overly emotive about being angry, you might come across as hostile or dangerous. So emote with caution! Emotions are felt stronger when a behavior is attached to them, even if the behavior is not a natural response. You can ‘fake’ cry when you know you feel sad. This will elevate and intensify your emotional sadness, and may lead to real crying or, at least, a greater show of emotion. Emotions contain certain impulses (fear elicits the fight or flight response, anger elicits retaliation) that you have no control over. When you have these impulses, do not fight against them; instead amplify them so they show outwardly. Using physical contact can be helpful in expressing your emotions. Physical touch can impart emotion in a way our facial expressions or verbal tone cannot. Recent scientific studies have shown that humans have an innate ability to decipher emotions through physical touch alone.  When someone makes you happy, gently place you hand on their shoulder. When you feel disgust, squeeze someone’s arm. Physical touch is not welcomed by everyone, and if done incorrectly, may not be well received. Pick up on nonverbal cues from others about their acceptance of physical touch, and do it moderation. Not every situation calls for emotion, such as a work meeting, while others, such as talking with your significant other, require a more heightened emotive response. Judge each situation independently to decide the level of emotion you should show.

SUMMARY:
Choose with whom you express your emotions very carefully. Be “extra” emotive in conversations with others. Cry when you feel sad and smile when you feel happy. Use physical contact. Identify the level of emotion appropriate for each situation.
