Problem: Write an article based on this summary: For beginners, use a foam surfboard on the right beach. Take your board and get in the water. When a wave comes, paddle to catch up with it. Ride the wave. Keep your momentum going.

Answer: A foam surfboard will be lightweight and easy to use. Make sure you're on a beach with waves that break far out instead of waves that break right on the beach – these waves are ideal for surfing. Check the weather, too. Bad weather could lead to an unfortunate accident. And as for the shoreline, stick for something that isn't too rocky. That's a recipe for disaster. If you have a leash, put it around your ankle. This will prevent you from losing your board. Once your board is in the water, lay on your stomach and start paddling – one arm and then the other. Paddle over the forming waves, going far back to where the waves are just mere currents. When you're ready, turn your board around and start paddling forward. You will probably catch a wave. When you do, put your hands on the board and lift your body up onto your feet. Start off crouching low and then slowly stand up with your arms out for balance. Do this until you get to shore. You want to be there and ready when it begins to roll over but before it actually does. As you come over it's edge, raise your torso up with your arms on either side of the board. Then, if you are a righty, put your left foot in front of your body and use it to lift up your right foot. Then ride the wave left or right as it crashes behind you. For a while, you're going to be snapped off your surfboard by the water. Don't get discouraged; each time you go out into the water, you're perfecting just what it is you have to do. It's a normal part of the learning curve. Combine the following factors to form a solid foundation. This will enable you to stay stable and get the maximum ride out of the wave.  Place your front foot on the chest line and in a direction that goes across the deck, your back foot is placed so your legs are slightly wider than shoulder width. Keep your knees bent at all times. This will lower your center of gravity and assist you in keeping your balance on the surfboard. Push your hips forward to transfer your weight onto the front leg. Your back leg should dip in slightly to make your stance more comfortable and give you more style. Keep your arms up, especially your front arm. Out stretch your front arm so you are reaching for the nose of the surfboard, your back arm should also be outstretched but don't worry too much about it. Position your head up and looking forward. If your front arm is up, your head should be looking straight along it. Keeping your head up has been mentioned through a lot of my articles and is a major contributor in you achieving the best result from your surfing. Once catching a wave, your hands should be at about half of the board's length  and your head should be about 3–4 feet (0.9–1.2 m) away from the front of the board. Keep your arms up in "surfer's position" to establish directionality as you ride the wave and apply pressure or extra needed weight onto your front foot in accordance with your arms in order to steer. Stand with your dominant foot on the middle of the board and your back foot about 2–3 feet (0.6–0.9 m) away from the back of the board.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wear and remove contacts as often as directed. Clean your contacts properly. Clean and replace your case as recommended. Give your eyes time to adjust.

Answer: There are contacts that need to be removed every night, and those that can be left in for long stretches of time without cleaning.  The important thing is to know and follow the wear recommendations for your particular lenses.  Especially when you are new to the process, removing and cleaning contacts can seem like a time-consuming chore.  For comfort, effectiveness, and safety, however, always remove and clean or replace your contacts on the schedule recommended for that specific brand and by your eye care professional. Your eye doctor may recommend a “breaking in” period for a week or two when you start wearing contacts.  During this time you will wear them for longer stretches each day to slowly acclimate to them.  This is more common with hard (RGP) lenses. Your eye care professional should provide you with detailed instructions on how to put your new contacts in, take them out, and clean them.  Instructions on how to put contacts in are fairly consistent across types and brands, but refer to your brand's instructions or website for particular details. Cleaning (non-disposable) lenses properly is essential to limiting the chance of infection and other eye problems.  The basics of the process are usually the same regardless of lens type: Wash your hands with a mild soap (without moisturizers) and dry them with a clean, lint-free towel. Remove one lens, douse it with the recommended contact solution, and rub the lens in your palm with your finger (even if marketed as “no rub”). Rinse with solution for as long as recommended.  You normally need to repeat the cleaning and rinsing process for RGP lenses. Place the lens in a clean case, then fill it with fresh solution (don't “top off” any existing solution), and keep in the case for as long as recommended.  Repeat with the other lens. If the recommendations for your lenses vary from this list, follow them. You can clean your contacts perfectly right, but if you store them in a dirty case, your chances of infection or other problems will be greatly increased.  To clean your case:  dump out the old solution; rub the inside with clean fingers; fill each well with solution, then discard it; let it air dry upside-down with the lids off.  Do this cleaning process (or that recommended by your eye doctor) as frequently as advised.  Replace your case every three months or as recommended. On related notes:  Never let the tip of your solution bottle touch anything.  This may permit germ transmission.  Also, never use tap water on contacts or accessories.  It can contain the long-lasting acanthamoeba bacteria, which can be particularly harmful to the eyes. Patience is a great virtue when adjusting to contact lenses.  As mentioned, very few people are unable to wear contacts, so the odds are good that you can overcome any discomfort that you experience at first.  Your eye doctor may recommend the use of a special protein removal product to deal with discomfort, or the use of rewetting drops to moisten dry eyes.  If you show signs of an allergic reaction to your contact solution, a switch to a preservative-free product may be all that is required.  The newer silicone hydrogel lenses and older technology often found in generic solutions can cause redness and irritation. Follow your doctor's recommendation on which solution to use to prevent this.  If you are using monovision lenses (where one eye has a contact meant to improve distance vision, while the other aids close-up vision), you can expect a somewhat longer adjustment period. A typical adjustment period for monovision is about two weeks. But in the end, most people adjust to these just fine as well.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get rest and drink plenty of fluids if you have food poisoning. See your doctor if you think you might have septic arthritis. Seek emergency medical care for signs of toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Get immediate help if you have symptoms of sepsis.

Answer:
Staph bacteria are a common cause of food poisoning. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea and, when caused by staph, usually subside in a day or so. Call your doctor if you don’t feel better within 24 to 48 hours. In the meantime, avoid overexerting yourself and drink plenty of water, sports drinks, or Pedialyte to stay hydrated. Try to keep down plain rice, soup or broth, and other bland foods. Wash your hands frequently to help prevent spreading germs, especially if you’re vomiting or have diarrhea. Septic arthritis is a joint infection often caused by staph bacteria. Schedule an appointment with your doctor if you experience symptoms such as intense joint pain, redness, swelling, and fever. Infections typically occur in the knees, ankles, or toes and, usually, only one joint is affected.  Symptoms of septic arthritis develop suddenly. In other forms of arthritis, joint pain and swelling develop gradually, often occur at distinct times during the day, and typically affect more than one joint. Your doctor will perform an examination and take a bacterial culture. They’ll aspirate the joint, or remove excess fluid to decrease swelling. If they determine you have an infection, they’ll inject medication into the joint or prescribe oral antibiotics. TSS can occur when staph bacteria spread to the bloodstream and internal organs. Symptoms include fever above 102 °F (39 °C), disorientation, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, and a red rash on the bottoms of the hands and feet. TSS is a medical emergency and requires immediate care. It can result from using a tampon for longer than the recommended amount time or from an infected burn, wound, or surgical site. Sepsis is a serious condition caused by the body’s immune response to a widespread bacterial infection. Symptoms include fever above 102 °F (39 °C), chills, disorientation, rapid heartbeat, and shortness of breath. Without prompt treatment, sepsis can lead to blood clots, poor blood flow, and organ failure.  Sepsis is a medical emergency, so you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible if you have an infection that isn’t healing and have symptoms of sepsis.  While anyone can develop sepsis, it’s more likely to occur in people with compromised immune systems, infants, the elderly, people with chronic illnesses (such as kidney or liver disease), and after a serious burn or injury.
