Article: You might think that tearing through all of your homework tasks from start to finish is the fastest way to do it. If you have a ton of homework, however, you'll probably get burnt out if you don't take a break every now and then. At least every two hours, take a 15 minute breather. To take a break, get up and move away from your workspace. Walk around a bit, and get a drink or snack. Moving around will recharge you mentally, physically, and spiritually, so you're ready to tackle the next part of your homework. If you start to feel discouraged by all the homework you have to do, take a minute and think about why you need to do it. After taking a break, take 1 minute and jot down all the reasons why you really need to do your homework. What are your big goals? How will doing your homework help you achieve them? For instance, you might write "I need to do this chemistry homework because I want a good average in the class. That will raise my GPA and help me stay eligible for the basketball team and get my diploma." Your goals might also look something like "I'm going to write this history paper because I want to get better as a writer. Knowing how to write well and make a good argument will help me when I'm trying to enter law school, and then down the road when I hope to become a successful attorney." There's no shame in thinking about a little reward to stay motivated and get through all of your homework. Tell yourself that as soon as you do your homework, you'll go for a walk to the park with your friends, or just relax with a movie for a while. You can also say something like "If I get through all of my homework today, I'll have more time tomorrow to go hang out with everyone."

Problem: Article: The two common types of softball slowpitch and fastpitch require different types of bats. In general, slowpitch softball requires heavier bats, while fastpitch requires lighter bats. Before you select a bat, make sure you know which type of softball game it will be used for. Some softball teams or leagues require bats that conform to certain size restrictions or are composed of specific materials (e.g. wood vs. metal or composite). For example, the United States Specialty Sports Association (USSSA) requires that a slowpitch softball bat must be no more than 34 inches (86.36 cm) long, 2 and inches (5.72 cm) in diameter, and 31 oz. (0.88 kg) in weight. They also have requirements regarding the construction of the bat, e.g. that the knob on the end of the bat must be welded on or mechanically attached. Before purchasing a bat, consult the league or team handbook for equipment regulations, or ask the team's coach. Some leagues or teams require that bats bear particular markings for example, graphics indicating that the bat is approved by a particular sports association, or an indication of the BPF (bat performance factor). They may also require that the bat be decorated or colored in a particular way. Your team or league may also have regulations regarding the modification of bats (e.g. adding tape or a grip sleeve to the handle).
Summary: Determine whether you need a fastpitch or slowpitch bat. Find out if your team has special size or material requirements. Find out about any other requirements or regulations.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Infants and toddlers are busy exploring their world, and it's completely normal for them to get a scratch or bruise in the process. However, if a child has numerous or severe injuries, or wounds that do not look like normal bumps and scratches, these can be a sign of abuse. You may see things like marks, bites, scratches, or burns that appear to have been made with an object. You may also see injuries that are unusual for infants or toddlers, like black eyes. You may see fading bruises or wounds after an absence from daycare or preschool. If you ask the parent or caregiver about infant's or toddler's injuries, they may offer an excuse that seems fake or unlikely, such as "Tim got that burn because he built a campfire in the backyard." Keep in mind that some forms of physical discipline (mild spanking, for instance) is not necessarily abuse. Infants and toddlers who are abused may also be neglected. For example, their clothes might not be clean or fit properly, or the child may be consistently dirty and unkempt. A child that has been sexually abused may experience some physical trauma as a result. Infants and toddlers may be unable or unwilling to tell you if they have suffered this abuse. However, you may see other signs, like trouble walking or sitting. Beyond helping with the medical side of abuse injuries, a pediatrician can help you contact the police and child protective services to start an investigation. They may tell you to take your child to the hospital, where doctors can make an initial diagnosis, do tests, and give them treatment. They might also refer you to a special clinic or a child psychologist to help your child handle and understand their emotions. Make sure to show the authorities any evidence of the abuse you may have, such as pictures of injuries, attendance records, or statements from the child. Until the authorities have been notified and an investigation is under way, make sure that the child is kept safe from their possible abuser. Don't threaten the suspected abuser or try to take the law into your own hands.

SUMMARY: Recognize any unusual injuries. Observe the child's general appearance. Notice if the child has difficulty walking or sitting. Talk to a pediatrician right away if you suspect child abuse. Keep the child away from their suspected abuser.

Your hormones have a lot to do with your monthly period, so it is important to take your cycle into account when beginning to use the cream to raise your progesterone levels. Your hormones are working as a team to trigger ovulation, so it's important to help balance the hormones. You can chart your cycle by identifying the expected first day of your next period, then counting backwards two weeks (14 days) from then. This would be day 14 for a woman with a cycle duration of 28 days, or day 21 for another woman with a cycle duration of 35 days. The exact day will differ from woman to woman according to her calculations and and her cycle's usual duration. Generally, you will want to apply the cream twice a day, unless instructed otherwise by your doctor. Since you will likely want to apply the cream at home (so you don't have to tote it to work), you should choose two times when you are generally at home. Try to apply once in the morning, after your shower, and once at night, before bedtime. As with any medication or supplement, it can be very helpful to get into a routine when applying your progesterone cream. Make it a habit to apply your cream at the same time each day. Soon, the application will be second nature, and you will be less likely to forget a dose. If you learn that you are pregnant while using the cream, keep applying your normal doses. It is important that your progesterone levels do not drop early in a pregnancy, as that could result in loss of the fetus. Make sure to consult your doctor before you stop applying the cream.
