Problem: Article: If you find yourself in a place that has a lot of smokers, try to find areas where there is less smoke. Many public places have designated smoke-free areas, so you should seek these out. Sometimes people smoke in places they shouldn't, like restaurants or bars where smoking has been banned. In these cases, it's appropriate to ask an authority figure -- a restaurant manager or police officer, for instance -- to tell the smoker to stop. If you cannot get away from smokers, try to place yourself upwind of them. This will not completely protect you from secondhand smoke, but it can help you to breathe in less than you would if the wind were blowing the smoke towards you. When walking past smokers in public spaces, try to move past them as quickly as you can. This will help limit your exposure to secondhand smoke. Cigarette smoke is harmful to people's immune systems. If you're around smokers and cannot get away, do your best to stay hydrated. Keeping hydrated will help your immune system to stay active in spite of the smoke. If you know you're going to be in a smoky environment for a while, bring a water bottle with you. You should do your best to get plenty of vitamin C if you're around smokers. Like staying hydrated, vitamin C helps promote a healthy immune system. You can get vitamin C from foods like oranges and strawberries or from vitamin supplement pills, which you can usually find in any drug or grocery store.
Summary: Find smoke-free areas. Report smokers in appropriate situations. Stand upwind of smokers. Walk past smokers quickly. Stay hydrated. Get plenty of vitamin C.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is an excellent variation for smaller groups where you can rotate between players to have different people directing the Human Knot. To play this variation, one of the players should leave the room or turn away from other players as they get tangled together. Then, players can only move in the way they are instructed by the director. You might have fun adding a prop to set the knot director apart from other players. For example, you might give the knot director a play megaphone, a special hat, or a badge. Ice breakers often help you to learn the names of those you are playing with. You can add this challenge to the Human Knot as well! All you need to do is add a rule that states players can only talk to other players by saying that player's name, first. To encourage players to use names, you might institute a minor penalty for those who don't use first names. Every time a name isn't used, players might agree that rule breakers have to do five push ups after the game is finished, or you could have players that don't use names help you set up for the next activity. You should exercise caution when using this kind of variation. Since the limbs of players will be tangled together, it's easy to fall down or lose balance, which could potentially hurt somebody. However, older kids and adults might find the Human Knot more challenging with: Every other player blindfolded. This way, players who aren't blindfolded have to help direct those who are, which encourages teamwork even more. Course obstacles. Uneven terrain can make keeping your balance while unknotting very difficult, but you should be careful about tripping hazards. Young kids might have a blast playing the Human Knot game in a bounce house. With large groups especially, you may find you need to break into groups to play the Human Knot game effectively. If this is the case for your group, you can add a competitive challenge by having both teams try to unravel faster than the other.

SUMMARY: Play the game with a director. Use the Human Knot to learn names. Add limitations to players or the field of play. Have a human knot unraveling race.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Changes in the brain during adolescence can result in an increase in risk-taking and propensity toward experimentation with substance use (alcohol and other drugs). Specifically, adolescents are more drawn toward reinforcing stimuli such as substances. However, the teen might also be more likely to take healthy risks such as trying new activities (sports, games, hobbies, etc). The adolescent may engage in more risk-taking behaviors. This can sometimes include dangerous situations such as fast-driving, and breaking other rules or laws. Be aware of these warning signs and risky behaviors. The ability to control impulses is not yet fully developed in the adolescent brain. Understand that your teen may not yet be able to self-monitor or have delayed gratification. Teach your child delayed gratification by helping him identify the pros and cons of engaging in a particular activity or behavior. Brain changes in the developing teenager can result in heightened emotional reactivity. This can result in teenagers experiencing more anger, sadness, loneliness, aggressiveness, and other negative emotions or behaviors. Try to remember what it was like being a teenager, and identify a few feelings you had back then that were hard to cope with. Instead of automatically reacting emotionally, attempt to empathize with the difficulty of the youth's situation.
Summary: Identify increases in risk-taking. Know that impulse control may be limited. Empathize with adolescent emotions.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: . This is usually fairly easy to do: if you bought your phone from a carrier (e.g., Verizon), the phone is probably locked to that carrier's network unless you bought the phone without paying for a contract. However, if you bought the phone online without a specific carrier included, the phone is most likely unlocked. Most carriers have specific rules about when you can approach them for an unlock code, but the general rules usually include the following: You must have owned the phone for at least 6 months. The phone must be entirely paid off (e.g., you aren't making monthly payments). The phone must not be blacklisted or reported as stolen. Any contract you had with the carrier must be up. Not all phone networks are compatible with each other, so call the company to which you want to transfer and ask if your phone will be compatible with them once you switch from your current carrier. In most cases, you'll be able to use your phone's LTE SIM slot to make it compatible with any other LTE-supported carrier. You can buy a SIM card directly from the carrier, or you can buy one online to save a few bucks. Once you have the SIM card for the carrier you want to use, you can proceed.
Summary:
Ensure that your phone is actually locked Determine whether or not you meet your carrier's unlock criteria. Make sure that your phone will work with your preferred network. Buy a SIM card for your preferred network.
