INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When lifting things, avoid relying on your back. Instead, stand close to the object you are about to lift. Face the direction you intend to carry the object. Tighten your abdominal muscles, stand with a wide stance, and bend your knees. Do not lift suddenly, and do not twist or bend sideways while lifting. For heavy loads, lift with straight arms, and tuck your chin in. Try to sit and stand in a relaxed position. Imagine a string pulling up your head from the crown. Straighten your neck so that it supports the weight of your head. Roll your shoulders back and relax them. Tighten your stomach muscles so they support your spine. If you have to stand for while, relieve pressure on your lower back by propping one foot on a stool. You can also rotate your ankles one foot at at a time to relieve pressure on the lower back. When sitting for a length of time, sit with your legs and arms parallel to the floor. Sit back in your seat for support. Settle your feet on the floor. Shift positions often to keep your muscles from tensing up. A lack of exercise can lead to weak back muscles, which can lead to back injury. While core muscle strength is not definitively linked to lower back injury risk, there is some evidence to support it. Try core stabilization exercises such as plank, side bridge, and supine bridge. Balance exercises, such as single leg stance, may also increase core strength. Try leg jumps and bounding, as well as regular strength training exercises such as lunges, squats, and hamstring curls. If you have back pain, your attitude toward it may shape your recovery. Stress, worry, anxiety, and depression can make it harder to recover from back injury. Anxiety, in particular, can worsen your experience of pain. Mindfulness is incredibly effective at improving your experience of back pain. Consider taking a course in mindfulness-based stress reduction. Cognitive-behavioral and self-regulatory therapies may help. Ask your physician to refer you to a qualified therapist.

SUMMARY: Lift properly. Improve your posture. Strengthen your core muscles. Be mindful of your stress.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will need to bend both pieces to match the curvature of the plastic bottle. Both pieces need to be able to fit in the bottle without touching each other. Be sure not to damage the red cuprous oxide layer when bending the cooked sheet. Use the alligator clips to attach both pieces to opposite sides of the plastic bottle. The copper sheet with red cuprous oxide should be connected to the clip that will lead to a negative terminal, and the clean copper sheet could be joined to a clip leading to a positive terminal. Dissolving salt into the water will provide electrolytes in the form of Na+ and Cl- that carry the current from the cuprous oxide layer to the clean copper sheet. An effective solution will be comprised of roughly one part salt (table salt is fine) to three parts water. Stir well to make sure that the salt is all dissolved. Heat if needed. For example, dissolve 14 cup (59mL) of salt into 34 cup (180mL) of water. Using distilled or deionized water will reduce the risk of contaminants. Leave about 2 inches (5.1cm) of space above the saltwater.This will allow current to travel from the negative terminal to the positive terminal. Be careful to keep the clips at the top of the two sheets dry. Otherwise, the water on the clips might interfere with your readings.

SUMMARY: Place the 2 copper sheets into your container. Connect alligator clips to each sheet. Make a saltwater solution. Add saltwater to cover most of the 2 plates.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Tie the rest of the hair back into a low ponytail. Make sure that the only hair out of the ponytail is either the hair that you will cut into bangs. This means that if you want your bangs to blend into the rest of your hair, cut them long enough so that all of your bangs are the length of that longest hair. You can always cut more. Comb your bangs horizontally so that they lie flat against your face. Decide how long you want your bangs to be. Remember that you can always cut them shorter, but you cannot add back hair that you cut off. Use your nondominant hand. Make sure that the hair is even and pulled taut.

SUMMARY:
Comb the bang hair forward. Cut horizontally to the longest possible length that you want your bangs to have. Hold bangs flat against your face with a comb. Hold bangs between your middle and index fingers.
