Article: The heat will soften it up and accelerate the break-in process.  Use this method in moderation and at your own risk. Most glove manufacturers say that you should never put a glove in an oven or microwave. Excessive heat will dry out a glove too much (or even destroy it by making it hard). Too much heat may turn the glove more flexible at first but ultimately render it too hard to use. Anything longer than that is going to cook your glove.  You can tell the glove is ready when it smells like a steak cooking. Throw the ball into the glove as hard as possible to help form the pocket to your liking. Your glove should start feeling softer and be much easier to play with.

Put the glove in the microwave. Set the time for less than 60 seconds. Play some catch while the material is still flexible.
Article: When you visit your doctor, they’ll check your urine for signs of infection and prescribe an antibiotic. They will also do a culture to determine the exact type of bacteria causing the infection. This will allow them to change or adjust your prescription based on the results if necessary (e.g., if your infection is caused by a strain of bacteria that is resistant to common antibiotics).  Urinary cultures take about 48 hours to complete. If your UTIs are a recurring problem, let your doctor know; you can get a preventative antibiotic for the future, too. A common antibiotic prescribed when suffering from this condition is levofloxacin. The maximum dosage is 750 milligrams per day, for a duration of 5 days.  Finish all the antibiotics given even if you feel better to ensure that the infection is gone. The infection may return and may be even harder to treat if you do not finish the entire course of the medicine. . Increasing your fluid intake by consuming a lot of fluids will help you stay hydrated. The high fluid intake will increase the urine secretion that will help you flush out the pathogen. Drink water, lemonade, and decaffeinated tea. Have them as many times per day as you like, anytime you wish. You should avoid alcohol, caffeine and sugary drinks, because they will have the opposite effect, dehydrating your body. Cranberry juice can help prevent the infection from recurring. A daily intake of 50 millilitres (0.21  c) to 150 millilitres (0.63  c) of 100% cranberry juice will have great effects in combating the disease. It can prevent any further development of bacterial culture by inhibiting bacterial adhesion to the urinary tract. You must drink the kind of cranberry juice that has a low sugar concentration. If the juice is not sweet enough, use an alternative sweetener, like sucralose or aspartame. You must not drink any sugar free juice, because it will be too acidic. Heat will increase blood flow, decreasing pain and irritation caused by the infection. Apply a heat pad on your pelvic area each day. Keep the heat level low, and do not leave the heating pad on your body for more than 15 minutes at a time, to avoid any burns. The needed ingredients are half a teaspoon (about 3 grams) of baking soda and 1 cup (240 mL) of water. The baking soda will neutralize your urine’s acidity. Drink the mix only once per day, because it can disturb the bacterial flora in your intestines. Use this remedy only if your doctor suggests it or tells you it’s okay. Your doctor can run tests on your urine to determine if it is overly acidic. Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme with great anti-inflammatory properties. Used together with antibiotics, pineapple makes a wonderful alternative treatment. Eating a cup of pineapple per day will be wonderful for you. You may have a severe UTI if you experience symptoms such as lower back pain or pain in your sides, a high fever, chills, shaking, or nausea and vomiting. This infection already involves the kidneys; in this case, complications are harder to treat and may get worse. This condition makes your body so weak that you may need to be hospitalized for proper treatment.  Antibiotics may be given directly through your veins via IV because the symptoms may keep you from swallowing oral medications. You may also need IV fluids to treat dehydration if the infection is causing you to vomit. Complicated infections are usually treated for several weeks. When you are feeling better, you will need a 14-day antibiotic treatment to ensure that the infection is gone.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Get on antibiotics. Stay hydrated Drink cranberry juice. Use heating pads to reduce pain. Drink a baking soda solution if your doctor recommends it. Eat pineapple. Seek immediate treatment if you have a severe infection.
Article: Constantly forcing yourself to mingle, chit-chat and cold-call will take its toll. Doing things that you hate on a regular basis is a surefire recipe for burnout. Don’t try to be someone you're not. Instead, try to develop a business model that fits the real you and learn to be comfortable with who you truly are. Most importantly, believe that you're as capable as any other person at succeeding in business.  Remember, there's nothing "wrong" with you. It's not bad to prefer one-on-one company over a party. It's not a character flaw to be a great listener. It's not a sin to be a deep thinker. It's not wrong to think before you speak. Keep in mind that, as an introvert, you have a series of character traits that are positive and can help you in business. Speak self-affirmations out loud. If you're feeling a bit insecure because you're an introvert, speak out some self-affirmations that will reinforce your belief in yourself. Introverts have many positive qualities. Use those qualities to your advantage in business.  For example, introverts might not be very outspoken, but they're often very good listeners. You'll find that listening can carry you a long way in your business with peers, employees, and partners. Also, introverts tend to be creative because they're inside their own head so much. That creativity can benefit you in business, especially when it comes to advertising. Your ideal office space is a private office where you can retreat, shut the door, and think about how to solve business problems. You'll work best in a quiet, away-from-the-crowd location. Avoid creating an "open office" environment where you'll be part of the crowd. That kind of workplace is suited well for extroverts, but not for an introvert like you.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Avoid fighting your nature. Accentuate your positives. Create a work environment conducive to your nature, if possible.
