INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Every time you book a flight through Delta Airlines, points will be awarded to your SkyMiles account. A few miles here and there can add up to some serious travel potential over time.  You can also begin racking up travel points by signing up for an American Express Delta SkyMiles credit card.  Check your account regularly to find out how many miles you have at your disposal. The miles you’ve built up can be used to supplement the ones your loved ones have already earned. If someone you know needs 40,000 miles (64,000 km) to enjoy a dream getaway, for instance, but they only have 38,000 on their account, a 2,000 mile (3,000 km) donation will get them there. A small expenditure can help someone else avoid a big one. This can be a big help for spur-of-the-moment trips or times when money is tight. Before parting with your hard-earned miles, do a little calculating to find out whether you're actually getting a good deal. The more miles you transfer, the higher the charge will be. For this reason, it may sometimes be more economical to simply buy a ticket out of pocket.  While it would only cost $10 to transfer 1,000 miles (2,000 km) (along with the processing fee, for a total of $40 plus tax), gifting someone 20,000 miles (32,000 km) will drive the total up to $230. That’s may not be much more than the price of standard airfare. By spending too much on a single transfer, you’ll just be eating into the savings you would ordinarily get from cashing in your accumulated miles.

SUMMARY: Make frequent purchases to accumulate SkyMiles. Help your friends and family reach their travel goals. Decide whether the transfer is worth the cost.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If your child is sad, you're probably feeling concerned. Sad children may cry, pout, act disengaged, or generally act abnormal, which can be very alarming to a parent. There are many reasons why your child might be sad, so start by asking your child about what's bothering him.  Don't shy away from talking about troubling situations. If there's a death, divorce, or separation in the family, acknowledge it and answer any questions your child might have.  Some children have a hard time putting their feelings into words. Be patient, and keep asking until you get a sense of what's wrong. If your child doesn't know how to talk about what's wrong, use a game of 20-questions (with "warmer" or "colder" responses) to narrow down what's bothering him.  If you suspect you know why your child is sad, ask prompting questions to get him to talk about it. For example, you might say something like, "It sounds like you're sad that Timmy moved away," or "I bet it hurt your feelings when Billy wouldn't sit with you." If your child is experiencing something troubling, it's important to make him feel that his emotions are being validated. This starts with how you initiate conversations with your child and carries through to how you respond when he tells you what's wrong.  Let your child talk about whatever is bothering him. Even if it's something that's difficult for you to tell him about, it's important that you listen and respond honestly and affectionately.  Never tell a child (or anyone, for that matter) to "snap out of it," "cheer up," or "pull yourself together." Saying these things can send a message to your child that his feelings don't matter.  Similarly, never tell your child that his situation "isn't so bad" - that may be true from your adult perspective, but to your child, feeling abandoned by his friend at lunch could be a crushing loss. Recognize that many sad children also experience coexisting emotions, like anger or fear. Be patient and try to talk your child down if he's feeling scared or mad at someone. Some children may not recognize that their parents get sad from time to time. Many parents try to hide their own negative emotions to protect their children - which is healthy to do sometimes, but not to the point that your child thinks you never feel sad.  Showing or talking about your own sadness can help your child realize that he isn't alone, and that it's okay to feel sad sometimes.  Tell your child that it's okay to cry, and don't be afraid to cry in front of him sometimes. Shield him or move him away from other kids so that no one calls him a "crybaby." Talk about times when you've been sad, and let your child know that you cry sometimes too.
Summary: Ask him about his problems. Don't downplay how he's feeling. Talk about your own sad feelings.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You want your oven to be ready when you’re ready to bake the bread, so it’s important to set it to the right temperature. Set it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius) to preheat. Pay attention to your oven so you know when it’s reached the right temperature. It should beep or turn on an indicator light when it’s fully heated. Take a loaf of bread, and use a bread knife to slice it horizontally and vertically in a checkerboard pattern without cutting all the way through the bread. The goal is to create 1-inch (2.54 cm) cubes across the top of the bread that are still connected to the bottom so the loaf remains intact.  You want to choose an artisan bread that has a crunchy crust and some holes in its interior. Round loaves typically look more impressive, but you can also use an oblong-shaped batard or a flat loaf of ciabatta. If any pieces of bread come loose while you’re cutting, don’t worry. Just stick them back inside, and once the cheese melts over them, no one will be able to tell that they’re loose. In a bowl, toss together 1 ½ to 2 cups (150 to 200 g) of Monterey Jack, mozzarella, provolone, swiss, cheddar, or some combination of cheese with your chosen mix-ins. You can add ½ cup (50 g) chopped green onions or chives, ¼ teaspoon (1.25 g) red pepper flakes, ¼ teaspoon (1.25 g) chili powder, and/or 1 cup (80 g) cooked, crumbled bacon or sausage, depending on your preference. While one of the cheeses that you use should be a melting cheese, such as mozzarella or swiss, you can also add in cheeses that don’t melt as easily, such as blue cheese or brie. When you’ve mixed the cheese and your other fillings, begin placing the mixture in the sliced bread. First add the cheese between the vertical cuts, and then add it between the horizontal cuts. It can help to have someone hold the bread cubes apart while you stuff the cheese between them. Transfer the stuffed bread to a piece of foil, and drizzle the top of it ¼ cup (57 g) unsalted butter that’s been melted. Work slowly so you can be sure to spread the butter evenly over the entire loaf. It’s usually easiest to melt the butter in a microwave. Cut it into pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave it on medium (50% power) for 30 second intervals until it’s completely melted. Fold the foil around the bread, so the entire loaf is tightly wrapped. Place the bread in oven and bake for 20 minutes. Unwrap the top of the bread and allow it to bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese melts completely and the top of the bread is toasted. Don’t remove the foil from the bread entirely, or cheese may wind up melting onto the oven rack and bottom. When the cheese is completely melted, remove the bread from the oven. Remove the foil, and place it on a plate. Serve to your guests while it’s still hot. There's no need to cut it because they can just pull at the individual cubes to tear off their piece(s).

SUMMARY:
Preheat the oven. Score a loaf of bread in a crosswise fashion and set it on a cookie sheet. Mix the cheese with seasonings of your choice. Stuff the cheese into the bread. Drizzle melted butter over the bread. Wrap the bread in foil and bake in the oven. Serve while hot.
