INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Cataracts surgery removes a cataract, or a cloudy lens that normally develops with age. The surgeon inserts an artificial lens implant. After cataract surgery, patients often complain of a "foreign body" sensation in the eye. This is usually due to dry eye symptoms caused by the stitches or a cut nerve, or surface irritation/irregularity/dryness from the antiseptic used prior to surgery and drying of the eye's surface during surgery. The nerve takes usually a few months to heal, during which time your eye will feel strange. To combat these symptoms, your doctor may prescribe lubricating drops and antibiotics to prevent infection. The symptoms that prompted you to have surgery in the first place may persist for some time after surgery, but will gradually fade away. Surgery is required to prevent blindness. Symptoms include painless vision loss like a curtain going down; flashes of light in the corner of the eye; and the sudden appearance of many floaters. The recovery time for this surgery is about one to eight weeks. You may feel some pain, after surgery, but it can usually be treated with over-the-counter pain medication or an ice pack. You may also experience floaters or flashes of light that should gradually disappear. If you experience any new flashes of light that was not experienced before the surgery, contact your doctor immediately. You may also see a black or silver line going through your field of vision. This is due to trapped gas bubbles; as the gas absorbs in your eye with time, this should disappear. Although the procedure itself is quick, the recovery time can last anywhere from 2 to 3 months. LASIK is a corrective surgery for those who wear glasses or contacts. It is done with a laser that changes the curvature of the lens to allow for clear vision. After surgery, it's normal for your eyes to tear up more than usual, or for you to experience halos or blurry vision. You may also experience burning or itching, but it's important to refrain from touching the eye. Instead, inform your doctor of any problems if it becomes unbearable. Your doctor will likely plan a follow-up visit for 24- 48 hours after surgery to test your vision and check for infections. Alert your doctor of any pain or side effects that you may have at that time, and make a plan for further follow-up visits. You can gradually return to normal activities, but follow the plan set by your doctor. After 2 weeks, you can begin wearing makeup and lotions on the face again. After 4 weeks, you can take part in strenuous activities and contact sports. Avoid scrubbing your eyelids or going into hot tubs or whirlpools for 1-2 months, or as advised by eye care professional.

SUMMARY: Rest for at least 24 hours after cataract surgery. Be patient after retinal detachment surgery. Prepare for a long recovery from LASIK surgery.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The Advantage program is designed for sellers who intend to distribute their own work or large quantities of other books they are legally allowed to distribute. Unlike the other types of Amazon seller accounts, Amazon requires potential Advantage members to submit a special application. In order to participate, you will need North American distribution rights for any titles you enroll. The account you set up for an Advantage membership will require the same information as a standard selling account. You will need to input your name, e-mail, password, mailing address, and bank account. You will also need a valid e-mail address, access to the Internet, and a U.S. bank account. To start the application process, navigate to the Advantage home page at: https://advantage.amazon.com/. Click on the "Apply" button to be directed to the application. Note that as a member of the Advantage program, you do not need to maintain a selling account or manage buying orders and feedback. Your Advantage account won't be active until books are registered under it. Click on "Enroll" under your Advantage account, and type in the details of each book you'd like to sell through the program. Each title must have an ISBN, and each physical book copy must have a valid barcode. After you enroll a title through the Advantage account, you will receive an initial order e-mail with instructions on how to log in and confirm your order. To confirm an order, you will need to log into your member page and select the "Orders" tab. After clicking on the corresponding Order ID number, you will confirm the order and receive shipping instructions. You can print out these slips from your order confirmation page after you've confirmed the order. The packing slip should be included in the box along with the books you ship. Place the shipping label on the outside of the box using heavy-duty packaging tape. It's your responsibility to send your books to an Amazon distribution center, but Amazon will handle shipping the books to the customers. Amazon will instruct you on which fulfillment center to send your books to, and the address will be on the shipping label. You will be notified when your order is received at the facility. Amazon should have provided you with the distribution center's address after you enrolled your book(s). If they didn't, contact the Advantage program and inquire where your books should be shipped to. If you ship an order to an Amazon fulfillment center that does not meet its requirements, Amazon may ship it back to you at your expense. Amazon will take care of getting the books into the customers' hands. You will receive payment (via direct deposit) from Amazon once customers have purchased your books. Under the Advantage program, the books are put up for sale under Amazon's name rather than your seller name. You will not receive feedback for the purchase or the condition of the book. Amazon will also handle any returns if customers are dissatisfied with the books. For this reason, the Advantage program is ideal for booksellers or publishers who prefer to have a hands-off approach to selling and shipping their own books.

SUMMARY: Submit an Advantage application to join the program. Enroll at least 1 book title under your Advantage account. Print your shipping label and packing slip for each order. Mail your products to an Amazon shipping center for distribution. Let Amazon sell the books and ship them out to customers.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your cars are still operating in traffic, signal remorse by waving or mouthing "I'm sorry." It is possible that you did nothing wrong, but your priority should be to deescalate the situation rather than sort out blame accurately. Apologize. If you are stopped and the driver approaches you, acknowledge you were wrong. Do this even if their anger is disproportionate, or if you do not think you were wrong. This is hard to do, but letting them "win" could quickly bring further problems to a short end. Your main goal should be to stay safe, rather than to win an argument. Avoid inflammatory statements, and allow the driver to feel like they have gotten what they wanted. Give up a parking space even if you were there first, let the other driver merge into your lane even if it isn't their turn, give more breathing room between your cars, or leave the fast lane even if you are driving at the correct speed. Ignore insults. The enraged driver may insult you. Remember that they are angry and that their insults do not truly apply to you. Do not reciprocate when insulted. Calmly but assertively state that a neutral authority should resolve the conflict. In some cases, you may be just as angry as the other driver. Before you engage in direct confrontation, take basic steps to calm your own nerves. Breathe deeply, counting each time you inhale to ten. Remind yourself of who you are beyond the stressful moment. Think about how your family, friends, or coworkers expect you to act. Think about something that you are looking forward to. Look past the unpleasant moment and remember that it will be over soon. After the incident, when you've calmed down, reexamine the events that took place. Determine if you did anything wrong or if a specific action may have helped cause the other driver's anger. Now that you are safe, it doesn't matter who was at fault. Simply determine if there is something that you can do differently next time to avoid triggering other motorist's rage.

SUMMARY:
Show remorse. Let the other driver win. Calm yourself. Analyze your driving.
