INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The field is set up like a diamond. If you have ever watched baseball, it is the same as a baseball diamond. Home base, where the 'batter' kicks the ball from, is the base of the diamond. First base is diagonally fifteen yards away from home base up to the right. Second base is diagonally up to the left fifteen yards away from first base, and third base is diagonally up to the left from home base. Foul territory is everything outside of the line from home base to first base, and home base to third base extending into the outfield. The defensive positions include a pitcher, a catcher, three players to cover each base, three out fielders, and one shortstop to cover the area between second and third base. When your team is on offense you take turns standing at home base and kicking the ball that the pitcher from the opposite team rolls at you. The pitcher rolls the ball to the kicking team across home plate. They stand about 10 yards (9m) away from home plate. The catcher tries to tag players out at home base and passes the ball back to the pitcher. The players covering each base try to get the ball after the opposing team kicks it. Once they get the ball the goal is to tag the runner out before they get to the base safely. You tag a runner out by touching them with the ball or throwing the ball at them. The outfielders want to get the ball if the opposing team kicks it away from the players covering the bases and pass it to one of the bases so that their teammate can tag a runner out. The shortstop tries to stop the ball from bouncing into the outfield and also wants to tag runners out or pass it to the players covering the bases. A team scores a run when a player touches all four bases in order and touches home base without getting out. When it is your turn to be up at bat, the pitcher from the opposite team will roll the ball to you. You try to kick the ball in such a way that it stays in the field of play. Once you kick the ball, you immediately try to run to first base before the opposite team tags you with the ball or touches first base with the ball. If you make it to first base, you are safe. Whenever you are on a base you cannot be tagged out. If you have a really good kick, you might be able to run all the way to second or third base before they catch you. The team with the most runs at the end of a game wins. A Kickball game lasts six innings. During an inning each team gets a chance to kick. Your team continues to kick until you have accumulated three outs. The defensive team needs to get three outs before they can switch to offense. There are four ways to get an out. The pitcher can strike the batter out. If the pitcher rolls three good pitches at the batter and the batter fails to keep the ball outside of the foul zone or misses the pitch all together, that is called a strikeout. The next player on the offensive team will then come up to bat. Some friendly kickball games play without strikeouts. A tag out occurs when a defensive player touches an offensive player with the ball when they are not on a base. The defensive team can cause a force out if the ball gets to a base before the offensive player arrives and they offensive player can't go back to their previous base. They can't go back to their previous base if it is occupied by a teammate or if it is home base. The defensive team can catch a fly ball. If the ball is kicked into the air by the offense and the opposing team catches it before it hits the ground that is considered an out.

SUMMARY: Understand the field. Learn the positions. Learn how to score. Understand how to get someone out.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: . Melatonin is an over-the-counter supplement that some claim can help tackle insomnia and sleeping difficulties. Melatonin is naturally produced by your body, and is released into your bloodstream in large amounts overnight. Taking the supplements increases the amount in your blood, and may help you get to sleep. The scientific evidence proving the effectiveness of melatonin supplements in combating insomnia is, however, lacking. It is thought that older people will experience more significant benefits. Melatonin use is considered safe for a few weeks, but the safety of longer-term use is unclear. It is recommended that you take 0.1 - 0.3mg of melatonin for sleep, which has been proven to produce a physiological sleep inducing effect. If your melatonin supplement is 1 milligram you can cut it in quarters to get to get a .25 milligram dose. Melatonin is a big player in the induction and maintenance of sleep. Natural Natural melatonin levels decrease with increasing age. Warning: Melatonin can have some unpleasant side-affects for certain individuals - nightmares being among the most common. Valerian root is another dietary supplement available in health food stores and online which is marketed and sold as a sleeping aid. Valerian root has sedative and anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects, but there is a lack of in-depth scientific study of its usefulness in tackling sleep problems. You should talk to your doctor before trying valerian root. In a recent study, it was demonstrated that valerian root might be a good replacement for medications like diazepam. Valerian root was shown to have an anxiolytic (calming) effect on the symptoms of anxiety. There may be a connection between long-term use of valerian root and liver damage. If you have been using valerian root, you may experience withdrawal symptoms when you stop. There is some evidence that acupuncture can help people with insomnia and sleep disorders, but more research is required to prove its effectiveness. During a session, you will have many thin needles placed into your skin by an acupuncture practitioner. Talk to your doctor, and if you decide to try acupuncture, be sure to ask for a recommendation to help you find a qualified and well-regarded practitioner. There are also some more straightforward remedies you can try at home to help you sleep. Have a warm milky drink, or a cup of relaxing herbal tea before you plan to go to bed. A glass of warm milk can help your body to produce melatonin. You should be thinking of what not to consume as well as what remedies might help you to sleep. Stimulants like caffeine and sugar can make it much harder for you to get to sleep, so try to cut these out, especially before you plan to go to bed. Don't have any tea or coffee for at least a few hours before bed. Cigarettes are a stimulant that will not help you get to sleep. Alcohol will not give you a restful night's sleep. It may make you dehydrated, and you may have to get up in the night to use the bathroom.
Summary: Try melatonin Take some valerian root. Consider acupuncture. Try a warm drink. Cut down on stimulants.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Many people choose to leave out the green, which is lime if you're using original Skittles, and purple, which is grape in the original style, as they can create a weird taste combination or a less than appealing color for the final product. However, you can put them in if you want. If you don't mind mixed flavors, you can just skip this step altogether. Note that if you choose to mix the flavors together, you will create an unappetizing brownish color. Keep swirling the mixture until the Skittles are almost completely dissolved. Note that the ratio of Skittles to vodka varies from recipe to recipe. You should experiment to find your preferred mix before making larger bottles. With single servings like this, you can decide which flavor(s) you like best and proceed to making bottles, if you desire.

SUMMARY:
Separate the colors of Skittles that you want to flavor the vodka with. Add six Skittles to 25ml of vodka. Filter out the remaining Skittle bits.
