INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Let the merchant or online seller know that your glasses were counterfeit, and you would like your money back.  Hopefully, the seller will cooperate and give you your money back.  If they do not, let them know that you plan to contact your credit company.  This may encourage them to work things out with you. As you go back and forth with the seller, keep documentation of all the emails, receipts, and packing slips regarding your purchase.  If you have to contact your credit card company, all of this information will be helpful.  This will also create proof if the seller lies about the product that you were sold.  You can also take pictures of your glasses that you purchased. If you entered the model number into the sunglasses manufacturer website and the number did not match, print out a copy of that page as well to use for evidence. If you used a card to pay for your glasses, you can request a charge-back.  File the purchase as a billing error. It's best if you do this as soon as possible so you do not look suspicious to your credit card company. You can file this report on your credit card company's website. If you cannot find the information on the website, call your credit card company for assistance. File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) if you find that your sunglasses are counterfeit. After you submit your complaint, the BBB will forward the information to the business within 2 business days.  The business will have 14 days to respond to the complaint that you filed.  The BBB will notify you of the business's response.  Most complaints are closed within 30 business days. Go to the website or Yelp page of the company where you purchased your sunglasses and leave an honest review of your experience.  Let people know that the glasses you purchased were fake.  Also discuss how the issue was resolved. If the seller gave you trouble, let everyone know.  If the seller was easy to work with, let everyone know that as well.

SUMMARY: Contact the seller. Keep a record of correspondence. Contact your credit card company. Report to the Better Business Bureau. Write a review of your experience.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: They are odd things, but if they work at it, these types of things can work on top of the therapy sessions, and are something the child will probably *want* to accomplish, and will help them gain muscle functionality. Piano relies heavily on fine motor skills, and also works on the brain. Add to this the self-esteem boost when the child plays a new song, and there's hardly a reason to not do it. These can improve balance, motor skills, self-esteem, and confidence. The teachers can also help with behavioral issues.

SUMMARY: Get your child with CP to hop on one foot, or play with a ball, or other such activities. When the child is old enough, enroll them in a piano course. On top of Piano and common sports, try to get them to do something like Gymnastics, or Karate.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While not scientifically proven to help, many claim to have success with making an essential oil flea collar and putting it on their pet to keep fleas from biting. Mix two to three drops of cedar or lavender essential oil with one to two tablespoons of water. Drip some of this mixture onto a bandana. Rub the sides of the bandana fabric together to rub in the scent. Then tie the bandana around your pet’s neck. Although there isn't scientific evidence that proves its effectiveness, many think that apple cider vinegar can repel fleas. Add one teaspoon of all-natural apple cider vinegar to one quart of drinking water for your dog. This may deter fleas as the vinegar works its way through the dog’s bloodstream and is emitted through his skin. Despite the fact that there's no scientific evidence of effectiveness, brewer’s yeast is thought to repel fleas. Many think this is especially true in hot, muggy climates. For a cat or small dog, add half a teaspoon of brewer’s yeast to the pet’s meal by sprinkling it over the food. Use one teaspoon if your dog is over 30 pounds, and add a teaspoon for every 30 pounds beyond that.

SUMMARY: Make a homemade flea collar with essential oils. Add apple cider vinegar to your dog’s water. Try brewer’s yeast in your pet’s meal.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Since these pieces of equipment are used in every fight and sparring session (and since you won’t want to share them with others), buy them as soon as you begin down your path to becoming a cage fighter.  If you’re a man, you’ll also need to invest in a cup to protect your groin. Your MMA gym or martial arts training center will usually provide shin guards, headgear, and other training equipment. Once you’ve practiced long and hard, you’ll be ready to enter the cage.  There are many cage fighting tournaments across the world.  Trainers at your local MMA gym should be able to direct you to tournaments that are appropriate for your skill level.  If you don’t have an MMA gym nearby, run a word string like “cage fighting tournaments” through your preferred search engine.  The process by which you sign up for a cage fight varies depending on the organizing authority.  Generally, you’ll need to provide some contact information either online or via a paper form.  You’ll also need to include your height and weight so that you can be matched with other fighters in the same class. Avoid cage tournaments that charge excessive entry fees. You’ll probably start out at the amateur level.  As you improve, you could consider becoming a professional cage fighter in a league like UFC. Different cage fighting leagues have slightly different rules.  For instance, some allow kicks to the head, but not knee strikes to the head, and vice versa.  Before your fight begins, review the tournament’s rule book carefully to avoid fouls or disqualifications during your fight.  Most tournaments disallow eye gouging, groin strikes, clawing, pinching, biting, spitting, and other unsportsmanlike conduct. You can get a tournament rule book from the tournament’s organizer. If you’re entering a youth league, your birthday will have to fall within the acceptable age range, and you’ll be matched with someone near your age.  If you’re fighting in an adult league, you’ll typically need to be at least 18 years old. There are usually no upper age limits, though some leagues do set an upper age cap at 40 years old, since older fighters tend to gradually lose power and speed. In the week or so prior to your fight, relax your training schedule to allow your body to heal more fully.  For instance, perhaps two weeks prior to the fight, you’ll do 50 pushups daily instead of 60.  The week before your fight, you might reduce that number again to just 40 pushups. Before a fight, review footage of your opponent or attend one of their matches.  Use your knowledge of their fighting style to gain a strategic advantage when you face them.  For instance, if you know that your opponent tends to throw jab-cross-kick combos, you can be ready for the cross as soon as they throw the jab. If you are unable to evaluate an opponent before the fight, use your previous training and experience to determine how you might improve your advantage during a fight.  For instance, if your opponent is larger than you, they’re also probably slower, which means you should use quick jabs and kicks that they won’t be able to block well. See a doctor to ensure you don’t have any broken or fractured bones.  The doctor should also check for signs that you suffered a concussion, and suture any cuts that you may have endured. Your doctor will let you know how long you’ll need to recuperate.  The amount of time you’ll need to heal varies depending on the amount of damage you sustained during the fight.

SUMMARY:
Buy your hand wraps, mouthpiece, and gloves. Join a tournament after at least six months of consistent training. Review the tournament rules. Meet the age requirements of the fight. Scale back your training gradually as your fight approaches. Strategize before the fight. Evaluate your opponent during the fight. Get a medical evaluation after the fight.
