Article: Go to an arcade or a movie, go shopping, do anything that will get your mind off of things for a little while. Just make sure you don't go anywhere or do anything that will remind you of your ex. Distract yourself by focusing on and helping others. Studies show that the happiest people are ones who give the most to others. When you're depressed, anxious or stressed, there is a high degree of focus on the self. Focusing on other people literally shifts your thinking and your mood from victimhood to empowerment. Clear your head with physical activity. It has been proven that staying active and indulging in physical activity releases endorphins - the happy hormones. A strong body can lead to a strong mind. Join a gym, running group, or intramural team. Take up a physical activity you've always wanted to try but never got around to doing, like spinning, rock climbing, or yoga. Try to go for walks in the evening or take your dog out. A little fresh air can go a long way when your brain is taxed and your heart is weary. Take advantage of the extra time and freedom you now have. Find out what you love doing besides your regular job. Plant trees, learn music or take a cooking class. Learning something new boosts your confidence and can be rejuvenating. Get away from your current environment, whether that means taking a day trip to the beach or going for a hike, or going to Europe or South America for a few weeks. You might not feel better immediately, but being in a different space will give you a different frame of mind. Research has shown that just being outside your home can improve your health, since environmental factors are reliably related to depression, anxiety, and anger. You might have had goals for yourselves as a couple; instead, now you can set your own goals for yourself and your life. Thinking about goals is a productive part of reconfiguring your life without that other person. These goals might be in terms of your education, job, social or family life, or hobbies or activities. You can make a list, which will help give you direction and much-needed forward momentum in your life (and less time to dwell on the past!). See the end of the relationship not necessarily as an end, but as the chance for a fresh start for YOU. Get organized. Figure out what (and maybe who!) you want in life and go after it!

Article: Most steam mops have removable fabric pads that are easy to clean and maintain. Make sure the mop head is cool enough to touch, and remove the pad. Then wash it on a normal cycle with every-day laundry detergent/ Try to put your mop pad in with other loads of laundry so that you aren't washing it by itself. This is more environmentally friendly, and also less harsh on your mop pad. Clean the tank or reservoir of your steam mop by emptying it out and wiping it down with a damp dish towel or rag. Change out dirty cloths as necessary to avoid re-soiling the inside of the tank. Use a dry towel or rag to wipe down the whole surface of your steam mop after every use. This helps wipe away built-up debris, and wicks away any moisture left behind after mopping.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Wash the pads in the washing machine after every use. Wipe out the reservoir. Clean the surface of your mop.
Article: In-text citations typically are provided in parentheses after the information from that reference that you've included in your paper. Start the in-text citation with the last name of the author. You don't need to include initials with in-text citations, unless necessary to distinguish between two authors with the same last name who published in the same year. If there is more than one author, separate their names with commas. Use an ampersand before the last name listed in parenthetical citations. For example: "(Winken, Blinken, & Nod, 1992)." Put a comma after the year, then write "p." if the information appears on a single page or "pp." if it appears on multiple pages or a range of pages. Finish with the page number, then add a period after the closing parentheses. For instance: "(Simpson, 1988, p. 76)." Alternatively: "(Simpson, 1988, p. 76; Cleaver, 1992, pp. 103-119)." Sometimes your writing flows better if you name the author of the work in your text directly in your sentence. When you do this, you don't need to follow up with a parenthetical citation. If you have the author's name in the text of the sentence, simply put the date of publication (or writing) in parentheses after the author's name. If there is more than 1 author, use the word "and" rather than an ampersand if their names appear in the text. For example: "According to Simpson (1988), dogs don't dream. However, the work of Winken, Blinken, and Nod (1992) provides evidence that they do."
