INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Turning your anger inward can lead to serious health problems and letting it out by yelling at your loved ones can ruin your relationships. A better alternative is to let it out with a mighty scream. Get in your car and yell to the top of your lungs. Or, briefly shout into a pillow to let it all out. Whether you’re feeling hot (lashing out and shouting) or cold  (repressed and withdrawn) rage, a great way to release your anger is by destroying something--in an appropriate way, of course. Go to a “rage room,” if there’s one in your area.  Rage rooms provide a safe environment for you to smash and throw things and burn off steam. If you can’t locate a rage room nearby, buy a stack of cheap plates at the dollar store, go to a contained area like a garage, and throw them at the wall. Feels good, huh? Be careful about what you break. A plate is more replaceable than an heirloom vase. Aggressive outlets aren’t the best way to channel your rage. Still, punching a bag is much more constructive than punching a wall or someone’s face. Go to a nearby gym and have a turn at the punching bag. Or, shadow box by punching the air in front of you. While you’re angry, avoid boxing with an actual human, as your anger may cause you to do more damage than intended. If you don’t feel like hitting a punching bag, you can use other forms of exercise to let out your anger. Run, swim, go for a bike ride, take a hike, lift weights, or join a fitness class. Exercising helps burn off the extra cortisol that makes you feel angry. Humor can be helpful in defusing rage. Avoid taking yourself too seriously, and recognize that anger and rage can often be humorous. Using humor can help put your reactions and actions into perspective. For example, if you’re enraged because someone called you a scumbag, try and picture what an actual scumbag would look like. Think of the most humorous examples you can.

SUMMARY: Scream out your frustration. Throw or break something. Have a go at a punching bag. Exercise. Use humor.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It’s easy to get carried away when you go out with friends and spend money on food, movies, and shopping. Instead, plan activities that keep you away from restaurants and malls. Suggest a picnic at the park or the beach, then pack sandwiches and soda for everyone, or ask each person to bring something and do it potluck-style.  For daytime activities, consider hiking at a nearby state park, going for a bike ride, playing a board game, or going to a museum on a day that’s free for community members. For nighttime activities, schedule a movie night at your house, or invite everyone over for s’mores and stargazing in your backyard. Figure out how much money you’re comfortable spending when you go out, and then take that much in cash. A credit card will allow you to go way beyond that number without even thinking about it. If you’re worried about possible emergencies, keep a credit card in the glove box of your car (or in any other safe, hidden location). It’ll still be accessible, but it won’t be with you inside stores or restaurants. If you’re heading out for a movie or shopping, eat before you leave your house. You’ll be less likely to get hungry while you’re out, and you won’t be tempted to buy a slice of pizza or some popcorn. If everyone’s going out to dinner together, you don’t have to stay home. Eat a snack before you leave and then order an inexpensive appetizer or a small salad as your main course. And always choose water as your beverage, rather than paying for a soda. If you love shopping and can’t cut it out of your life, adjust the way you shop. Wait until the middle or end of the season to buy that season’s clothing. Stores will likely be starting to discount stuff to make room for next season’s clothes. If you find something you like online, check back in every week or so to keep an eye on the price. Check out thrift stores and consignment stores to find items that are both discounted and unique. Search Facebook for local groups in which members swap clothes or other items. Or check out sites like Freecycle, where people post things they no longer need or want for free. If you can’t find one in your area, start one! Create a Facebook group and invite your friends to join and post items they want to get rid of or trade. If you have a credit card, you may be tempted to just pay the minimum every month. But you’ll be charged hefty fees for doing this, and then you’ll end up spending far more money in the long run. Only spend money you know you have at home or in the bank, and then it won’t be a problem to pay off your balance.
Summary: Find free things to do with friends. Leave the credit card at home. Eat before you go out. Wait for sales. Join community exchange groups. Pay off your credit card in full.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Be careful when you mix these substances; doing so will cause the solution to get very hot. You’ll need enough of the solution to cover the charcoal completely. For normal-sized batches of charcoal, 100 g (3.5 oz) of chloride mixed with 1.3 cups (310 ml) of water should be enough. Calcium chloride can be bought at most hardware stores, home centers, and general retailers. If you can’t find calcium chloride, you can substitute it for bleach or lemon juice. Just use either 1.3 cups (310 ml) of bleach or 1.3 cups (310 ml) of lemon juice instead of the calcium chloride solution. Transfer the dry charcoal powder to a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl. Add the calcium chloride solution (or the lemon juice or the bleach) to the powder in small increments, stirring it with a spoon as you do so. When the mixture reaches paste consistency, stop adding the solution. Cover the bowl and allow it to sit untouched. After that, drain as much of the remaining moisture from the bowl as possible. At this point, the charcoal should be wet, but not saturated. Return your charcoal to the (cleaned) metal pot and put it back on a fire. The fire will need to be hot enough to boil water for the charcoal to activate. After cooking for 3 hours at this temperature, the charcoal will be activated.

SUMMARY:
Combine calcium chloride and water in a 1:3 ratio. Use bleach or lemon juice as an alternative to the calcium chloride solution. Stir together the calcium chloride solution and charcoal powder. Cover the bowl and let the charcoal sit for 24 hours. Cook the charcoal for another 3 hours to activate it.
