INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Injuries from accidents, violence, or animal bites, as well as dirty wounds with foreign objects, require quick first aid and professional medical attention. This is partly because coagulation is insufficient to prevent bleeding from hemorrhaging and other major injuries, even if you have healthy blood. If you are able to see muscle or fat tissue or unable to press the edges of the wound together using gentle pressure, get to a hospital. Other reasons a wound should be considered serious include close proximity to a joint or genitalia, a jagged pattern of broken skin, a continuous or pulsing flow of blood, or impalement by something visibly unclean. Reduce bleeding for transport of an injured person by applying pressure bandages and, if necessary, a tourniquet. Kaolin is a mineral that has been used to help reduce blood loss following major injuries, including those sustained in combat. Use dressing that is impregnated with kaolin to apply a pressure bandage to the wound. The pressure counteracts the blood pressure that would otherwise push blood out of the body, while the kaolin will prompt the coagulation process to begin. Get kaolin-treated dressings for your vehicle's first aid kit, or to carry in first aid kits while spending time in remote areas. They can be found a specialty supplies stores and online. Another first aid item used to treat injuries that involve major hemorrhaging are small mesh bags that contain the mineral zeolite. When activated, these bags not only fill a large wound and apply even pressure throughout, the zeolite prompts the blood in the area to begin coagulating and can even speed up the process. Mesh pouches filled with zeolite can be purchased from specialty first aid retailers. They will be easier to find online than in stores. These items are designed to help treat large wounds, and are designed to stabilize wound victims for transport to a medical facility. QuikClot is a zeolite containing product that stops bleeding fast.

SUMMARY: Seek medical assistance for a serious wound. Use kaolin dressing to stimulate clotting. Plug major wounds with zeolite bags.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Inviting body language means positioning yourself in a way that makes it inviting and easier for people to come talk to you. This means facing the person who is speaking to you and standing with an open posture with your arms at your side for example, rather than crossing your arms in front of your chest. Crossing your arms in from of your chest might imply that you don't want to have a conversation. Or, if you are in the middle of a conversation and you keep yawning and looking around as someone is talking to you, they might assume that you aren't listening and don't care what they have to say. Conversely, to show that are listening and do care what they have to say, here are some engaging body language cues you can try: Raising your eyebrows every once in while. Moving slightly closer toward the person speaking to you. Smiling and laughing when it is appropriate. Tilting your head when hearing new or interesting information. Nodding your head if you agree or understand what someone is saying. In Western culture, making eye contact is a non-verbal way of letting someone know that they have your attention and respect -- two important factors involved in having a productive conversation. Making and keeping eye contact lets the other person know that they can proceed with what they want to say, knowing that you are ready to listen. An important part of listening is being able to zone out background noise, thoughts, and conversations so you focus on the conversation in front of you. Being distracted by other things takes your attention away from the speaker and lessen your ability to fully listen. Turning off communication devices like cell phones is a polite and easy way to get rid of further distractions.

SUMMARY: Have inviting body language. Keep eye contact. Listen without distraction.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Dog food manufacturers will provide coupons in the coupon section of your Sunday newspaper. Try picking up a newspaper each week and clip out any dog food coupons that are included. Make sure that you check the expiration date on any coupons that you collect. Some may only be good for a couple of weeks while others may be good for several months. Some manufacturers may also make coupons for their products available online. Try searching the brand name of a dog food that you normally feed your dog and the word "coupons." Keep in mind that some manufacturers may require you to provide an email or other personal information in exchange for a coupon. Another option for getting coupons and even some samples of your dog's favorite food is to write to the company. Visit the company's website to find out how to contact them and compose an email or letter to the company to request coupons and samples. Try writing something like: "My dog really loves (name of dog food, be specific about the type and flavor)! However, I am having some trouble affording the cost of his food right now. Would you be willing to send me some coupons and/or samples?" The best way to maximize your coupons is to use them in conjunction with a sale. This will ensure that you pay the least amount of money for your dog's food. Watch the ads for your local grocery and pet food stores to find out when your dog's food will be on sale. Sometimes you can even use a manufacturer's coupon with a store coupon to save even more money. Try to collect as many coupons for your dog's food as possible to maximize your savings. Watch for fine print. In some situations, you may not be able to use a coupon if the item is already on sale. Try to avoid these kinds of coupons because they will not save you as much. Pet food stores often have samples of pet food on hand to give to customers. These samples might only be enough for one portion, but you will still save a bit of money if you get a sample every time you go to the store. Try asking for samples at local pet food stores. For example, you can say something like, "I am really interested in this product, but I'd like to see if my dog will eat it first. Do you have any samples available?"

SUMMARY: Clip coupons out of the newspaper. Search for coupons online. Contact dog food companies to ask for coupons and samples. Watch for sales to maximize coupons. Ask local pet stores for samples.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Virtually all external hard drives use a USB cable to connect to your computer, but you may find that your computer doesn't have a traditional rectangular USB port. Mac computers and some Microsoft computers use oval USB-C ports instead of traditional USB 3.0 ports. Likewise, it's good to know if your external hard drive uses a USB-C cable when your computer only has USB 3.0 ports. If your computer has a USB-C port instead of a USB 3.0 port, you'll need to buy a USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter for your computer. You can find these online or in some tech stores (e.g., Best Buy). This will usually be the USB end of the cable. The USB connector should only fit one way, so don't force it if it doesn't fit; instead, rotate it 180 degrees and try connecting it again. If you're using an adapter, first connect the end of the adapter that fits in your computer to your computer, then plug the end of the external hard drive's cable into the free end of the adapter. Depending on the external hard drive, the cable may already be attached; if not, attach the free end of the cable to the port into which it fits on the external hard drive. if necessary. Depending on both the external hard drive and your computer's operating system, you may not be able to use your drive until you change its format to work with your computer. Both Windows and Mac users can select exFAT as the file system when formatting the drive. This is ideal if you want to use your hard drive with both Windows and Mac computers. Formatting an external hard drive will erase everything on it.

SUMMARY:
Determine the connection type for the hard drive and your computer. Buy an adapter if necessary. Plug one end of the external hard drive's cable into your computer. Attach the other end of the cable to the external hard drive. Format your hard drive
