Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Attack their throat with strikes and chokes. Kick them in the groin. Gouge or poke their eyes. Attack their joints to remove their mobility. Use a weapon to neutralize your opponent.

Answer: The throat is a weak point in a person's body. When defending yourself, attack their throat by punching or hitting it. If you're able to get your arm completely around their neck, you can apply pressure to their carotid artery to induce unconsciousness. This artery can be found on both sides of the neck and only requires 11 pounds of pressure to close.  Pinching off the carotid artery stops oxygenated blood from going to the brain and could cause brain damage if held for too long. You can use your hands, elbows, feet, or forearms to attack the strong persons's throat. If you are behind them, using a rear naked choke can cause unconsciousness quickly. Read Do-a-Sleeper-Choke-Hold to learn how to do this. While this tends to be more effective when dealing with a male opponent, kicking anyone regardless of sex in the groin will temporarily incapacitate them, making it a great strategy when defending yourself. Make sure you are close enough to them to make clean contact, and don't hesitate.  Doing a soccer kick in-between their legs is the best way to strike the groin. Mix in attacks to the groin with strikes to other parts of their body so it catches them off guard. Eye gouges and pokes can hinder the ability for a person to see, and more severe eye gouges can cause permanent blindness or death. If you are struggling against an attacker, press your thumbs hard against the surface of their eyeballs. Only perform this attack if you are in a dire situation. You could potentially kill someone by performing an eye gouge. Places like the elbow, ankles, and knees are vulnerable parts of the body. Each joint has a range of mobility, and will break or sprain if pulled or pushed in the opposite direction. Attack the soft part behind their kneecap, or do a push kick with the bottom of your foot onto their kneecap to incapacitate them. Try to find things around you that you could swing at your attacker, like a broom, a brick, or a bottle. Any object in your vicinity that's hard enough to break skin can be used.  Using a weapon can carry heavier jail times if you are convicted of assault. Be careful when reaching for a weapon. It may escalate the situation and your opponent may also grab a weapon in retaliation, or take your weapon away from you.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Watch for signs of infection. See a doctor if you have a condition. Go to the doctor for deep facial wounds. Take antiviral drugs for cold sores.

Answer: Open wounds are vulnerable to infection. Monitor your wound for infection. Symptoms of infection include redness, swelling, or warmth around the wound. Any pus or colored discharge indicates infection.  You may also develop a fever, chills, or fatigue if the infection worsens or spreads. Seek medical attention if this happens. An uncomplicated infection on your face can sometimes turn into facial cellulitis. This is an infection of deeper layers of skin and underlying tissue, and it can cause serious complications if left untreated. Watch for redness, pain and swelling, and yellow or green pus. Some people heal more slowly or are at risk of complications from infections, including those who are obese, diabetic, have poor blood flow due to arteriosclerosis, smoke, use alcohol heavily, or are under stress. See a doctor about your facial wound if you fall into one of these categories. She can advise you on the best plan of treatment. Only minor wounds should be treated at home. See a doctor if you have deep wounds with rough or uneven edges, if you can’t bring the edges together, or if you can’t properly clean the wound. You may need stitches to pull the skin back together, or you may be at risk for infection.  If the wound won’t stop bleeding, you should also go to the doctor because this indicates it is a more serious wound. See a doctor, too, if the area around the wound becomes very swollen, red, and tender to the touch. You may need an oral antibiotic. If the open wound on your face is caused by a cold sore, your doctor can prescribe antivirals to help heal the cold sore. These drugs may be in a pill or cream form. Pills generally heal cold sores faster than creams. If you don’t want to go see a doctor, you can buy over-the-counter creams that will heal the cold sore.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be aware that there are many reasons why adult dogs may eliminate inside the house. Take your dog to a veterinarian to rule out medical issues. Consider recent subtractions and/or additions your home. Determine if fear or anxiety may be causing your dog’s problems. Identify any surface preferences that your dog has.

Answer:
Unlike puppies who just don’t know how to ask to go outside when they need to go, an adult dog may have much more complicated reasons for why it eliminates inside the house. If you have recently adopted an adult dog or you want to retrain your adult dog, you should first take some time to consider the reason(s) why your dog may be eliminating inside your home. Taking time to figure out what is going on with your dog will help you to decide on the best course of action. Before you try to housebreak your adult dog, you should take him to the veterinarian to have a check-up. Some adult dogs begin to have problems with elimination due to medical issues. Your veterinarian can assess your dog to see if a medical condition is causing him to urinate or defecate inside the house. Common medical conditions that may lead to problems with your dog eliminating in the house include:  Changes in your dog’s diet Gastrointestinal issues Urinary tract infection Bladder stones Post-spaying hormone issues in female dogs Medications Arthritis Age related cognitive dysfunction Some dogs develop problems with eliminating inside the house because a beloved family member has left the home or because someone has been added to the home. Consider the recent departures and arrivals in your family to determine if this may be the cause of your dog’s elimination problems.  Did one of your children recently go off to college? Or did you recently get a new puppy? If a recent change is the cause of your dog’s elimination problems, it may take time for your dog to get used to the new family situation. Be patient and do things to let your dog know hat he is still valued and loved despite the changes.  Play with him, give him praise, toys, and treats to help him feel more secure. Some dogs develop fear or anxiety about going outside and may begin eliminating in the house as a result.  If your dog seems reluctant to go outside, there may be something about the experience that is frightening to him. Try to determine what is causing your dog’s reluctance to eliminate outside. For example, if your dog is frightened by the sound of passing cars, he may end up not eliminating enough or at all when you take him out for a walk. Some dogs don’t like to go outside because they have developed a preference for a certain type of surface. Common surface preferences include carpet, concrete, and furniture. Identifying your dog's surface preference may be necessary in order to retrain him to go to the bathroom outside.  Pay attention to where your dog goes to the bathroom most often. Does he prefer to go on the carpet, on the tile floor, on a pile of laundry, or somewhere else? Can you think of any reason why he might prefer that spot over going outside? A surface preference may be related to the dog’s previous environment. For example, a dog that spent the last few years living in an environment where he was seldom let outside may have developed a surface preference for carpet. Or, a dog that was raised in a laboratory may have a surface preference for concrete.
