Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Urinate when you feel the need. Use a heating pad. Take a baking soda bath. Take over-the-counter medication for bladder spasm.

Answer: Although urination can be painful with a UTI, make sure to urinate when you feel the urge. If you are drinking plenty of fluids, you will probably need to urinate every hour or two. Don't hold it in. Holding your urine keeps the bacteria in the bladder, which encourages them to reproduce. To help relieve the pain or discomfort on your abdomen and lower back, place a heating pad on it. Make sure the heating pad is warm and not hot. Do not apply it directly to your skin because it can burn the skin. Place a towel or other type of cloth between the pack and your skin. To make a heating pad at home, wet a washcloth and then warm it in the microwave. After taking it out of the microwave, put the cloth in a plastic bag. Don't place it directly on the skin. Do not use for more than 15 minutes. You can burn your skin. Use for less time if you use a higher setting. If you use the heating pad to relieve UTI pain at night, make sure you turn it off before you go to sleep. Baking soda can help reduce the pain of a UTI. Place baking soda in the tub and fill it with just a little bit of water. It should be enough so that your bottom and urethra are covered. You can also buy a product, called a sitz bath, which is specifically made to place inside your toilet. This is useful if you don't want to or have the time to take the bath in a normal tub. Medication containing phenazopyridine can help to alleviate pain associated with bladder spasms, as they can numb your urethra and bladder to prevent burning during urination. One such medication is Pyridium, which can be taken at 200 mg three times a day as needed for up to two days. Another OTC medicine is Uristat. These medications will turn urine red or orange. Be aware that if you start taking medications containing phenazopyridine, your medical provider won't be able to check your urine for UTI using a dipstick, as the test strip will turn orange. You can also take ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen (Aleve) for the pain; however, the pain suffered during urination will persist, as these do not have the same numbing effect as phenazopyridine. If you have extreme pain, your doctor may prescribe you a prescription analgesic. These are used for a short period of time and are paired with antibiotics, which will eliminate the pain and the need for pain medications quickly after you start taking them.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Smile at those around you. Help others. Abandon the idea that life is fair. Treat others with honesty, respect and kindness. Value your friendships with others.

Answer: It's often been said that a smile is contagious, and research suggests that's true. Studies suggest that friendly engagement with others boosts happiness levels, at least in part because people are more likely to treat a smiling person better than a non-smiling person. A smiling person is more likely to be regarded as viewed as attractive, reliable, relaxed and sincere. Cheering yourself up by cheering others is a hallmark of how to have a good life. Studies have shown that helping others has a direct correlation to individual well-being. Taking time to care for others has been a staple of understanding "the good life" throughout time. Volunteering to help others has been connected to better quality of life, including increased happiness, self-esteem, health and even longevity. Taking time to listen to another person's problems is a great way to help others. Many times, people who are struggling simply need to be able to share their situation with a friend. By taking the time to listen, you are helping whether you can solve their situation or not. The Dalai Lama has said, "If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion."Putting your attention on another person, rather than yourself, is a common practice of living well with others. Most of us are taught this as children, but the idea that there are guaranteed outcomes for particular efforts or personal qualities is a sure-fire way to live in disappointment and resentment. Let it go. Taking responsibility for your own actions is an important discipline to develop. There may be many circumstances beyond your control, but focusing on these won't help you develop the ability to make changes in your own life that may benefit you. Accept the things you can't change; change what you can. Letting go of resentments towards others is an essential part of the good life. It has been well-said that a resentment is "like taking poison, expecting the other person to die." Resentments erode the quality of your own life, damaging relationships with those around you. Others may not always agree with you. This doesn't mean that you are wrong, or that the other person is wrong. It simply means that you have two different ideas on the same topic - and that's okay. This is not contingent upon how others treat you. Financial journalist Panos Mourdoukoutas said, "Harming others claims two victimsthe receiver of the harm, and the victimizer, the one who does harm."Taking revenge or "getting even" with another person opens an endless cycle of hurt and frustration that can easily be avoided simply by sticking to a few simple principles. Telling the truth, judiciously, is a habit of people who have good lives. Many times, people try to pretend they're telling the truth about others when instead they're engaging in gossip. The attention you receive when you share gossip may feel good, for a short time. However, in the long run, gossip erodes healthy relationships between you and those around you. Before you act, consider, "Is this something that I would want another person saying about me, or doing to me?" If not, reconsider your actions. The quality of a person's friendship has a direct impact upon their well-being. Friends can increase a sense of your sense of belonging and purpose. People who have your best interest at heart, will also help prevent you from developing bad habits that work against your overall quality of life. Let friends and family know that you care about them by spending time with them, calling them regularly, and doing things together. Friendship doesn't rely upon proximity, however. Even friends cultivated online have a positive effect on one's quality of life. People with stronger social networks have stronger immune systems, get fewer colds, report less stress, and have overall higher quality of life for reasons that aren't yet known.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Incorporate German culture into your teaching. Encourage your students to interact with native speakers. Help your students connect with the language on a personal level.

Answer: Your students will find the experience of learning the German language more enriching and meaningful if they understand the cultural context of the language. Find ways to incorporate cultural themes into your lessons. For example, you might include units on: German popular culture, such as music, films, or comic books. Traditional German cuisine. German holidays and customs. Popular German sports and pastimes, such as Fuball (soccer) and Formula 1 racing. One of the best ways for your students to practice their German is to converse with people who speak it fluently. If your students have friends or family who speak German, urge them to practice German with these people outside the classroom. You might also connect your students with German pen pals or have them participate in German-language chatrooms or online discussion boards. Encourage your students to think about why they are interested in the German language, and what it means to them personally. Do they have close family or ancestors from Germany? Are they particularly interested in German history or culture? Do they want to travel, study, or work in Germany some day? Work these questions into an ice-breaking activity early in the class, or ask your students to write German-language journal entries reflecting on their learning experience and what it means to them.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Keep the lock sturdy with vise-grips. Hold a lit propane torch to the shackle for about 3 minutes. Let the lock cool down for 2-3 minutes. Saw through the area you heated.

Answer:
Grip the bottom of the lock with a pair of vise-grips. Tighten the nut on the handle to ensure the lock doesn't move around while you're holding it. Tilt the lock away from the object it's attached to. Don't use your bare hands to hold the lock since you could burn yourself. Pick any location on the shackle to heat. Light the torch with a striker and turn the valve on the nozzle to make the flames into a tight cone. Hold the tip of the flame against the shackle until it turns red hot. Find an area on the shackle that you can easily maneuver a saw around. Work in a well-ventilated area away from flammable materials. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby in case there's an accident. After the lock is red hot, turn off the propane torch and let the shackle cool. Don't dip the lock in water to cool it down, since this could strengthen the steel again. Use a fine-toothed hacksaw meant for cutting through metal. Hold the lock in place with vise-grips in your non-dominant hand, and pull the back and forth across the area you heated with your dominant hand. Apply firm pressure to the lock to cut through it completely. The heat softens the metal and helps the saw teeth stay in place as you try to cut the lock. Hacksaws work best on metal locks.
