Article: Boils are more likely to form on areas that experience a lot of friction, such as under your arms, between your thighs, and around your groin. Over time, they can increase in size and eventually come to a head. Then, the boil will break on its own and drain. The pus is a mixture of blood cells, bacteria, and fluids. Boils can be found anywhere on the body but are most commonly found on the face, neck, armpit, buttocks, and inner thighs. The two main types of boils are called furuncles and carbuncles. Furuncles are very common and occur when your hair follicle or oil gland gets clogged. These are easy to treat at home. On the other hand, carbuncles are cystic bumps that can harden under your skin. It's best to get them treated by a doctor. Other types of boils are less common. For instance, hidradenitis suppurativa occurs when there are many boils forming in the underarms and in the groin. This is an inflammatory condition of sweat glands. Hidradenitis suppurativa is resistant to antibiotics and often requires surgery to remove the affected sweat glands. Boils are usually caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, though other bacteria and fungi can result in boils. MRSA can cause boils as well. Boils can happen to anyone at anytime. There are also some other factors that can increase your risk. These include: Caring for or having close contact with someone with a boil or a Staph infection. Having diabetes or another condition that suppresses your immune system. Having a skin condition that weakens the barrier function of the skin, which can include eczema, psoriasis, and acne.

Problem: Article: Stone axes are not like steel axes and cannot be struck at the same angle. Chop a few degrees off of 90 degrees of the wood. This steeper angle prevents side-slap, which can break your stone head. If the piece of wood that you are striking is sitting horizontal, swing the axe slightly off of a direct vertical drop. You may use an anvil, which is a wooden block, underneath the object that you are striking. This will help keep the object from bouncing and increase the efficiency of your axe. Stone axes cause debris to fly further than their steel counterparts. A stone axe wedges into the initial cut with a lot of force and can cause material to fly, either left or right, nearly 40 feet. Keep any bystanders behind you or in front of you at a safe distance of at least 10 feet or more. Depending on how large your stone axe and how forceful your swing, debris can fly with enough velocity to seriously injure someone. Transport your stone axe with a protective leather sheath. A leather sheath works well in preventing nicks. The sheath can be custom made at a local leather goods store. You never know what may fall against your axe so always keep it protected. The stone axe head must remain tight against the handle. If it becomes loose, the axe head will hit against axe handle and object and may break from the dual impact. This is known as a "side-slap". If you need to remove the axe head, replace it exactly as it was because you may break the handle if you put it in backwards. You may create a crease to easily find the front of the axe. A crease is a small scratch mark near the front of the axe stone. If you can't see it, it may be easier to feel. Make sure you create a crease that's easy to distinguish. You will need to be able to find it if your axe head is knocked out or removed. If you use the axe on a rocky surface, there is a high chance of you nicking or gouging the axe head against that surface. Unlike steel axes, stone axes need to be pecked or grounded down to remove the nick or gouge and to preserve the cutting angle. You must maintain the correct angle edge on a stone axe because it will break if it's too low. If the angle is too high, your stone axe won't cut. Use fine oil to keep your handle from drying too fast. Extra virgin oil works well. You may also oil your handles twice before storing. You want to oil your handle to help prevent any damage.
Summary: Chop at the right angle. Keep a safe distance when using the axe. Protect your axe with a sheath. Keep the stone axe head secure. Peck and ground down any nicks or gouges in the axe. Oil the axe handle to prevent damage.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Researching the opera's plot can help you understand what emotions and themes each song is trying to convey. If the opera you want to see is in a language you don't know, look for the plot online to help you understand the performance better. While you're getting ready for the event, put on a few of the opera's songs to listen to as background music. Familiarizing yourself with the music will help you get accustomed to how opera sounds beforehand so you can focus more on enjoyment at the actual event. Knowing key opera terms will help you understand more when reading through the show's brochure or listening to other opera-goers. An aria, for example, is a song where the characters say what they are feeling whereas a recitative is more like a musical line that gives context to the plot. Research these and other common terminology in the days before the opera. Opera 101 offers a comprehensive glossary of opera terms called "Opera ABC": https://www.theopera101.com/operaabc/glossary/ Depending on how many acts an opera has and how long intermission is, its runtime can last anywhere from 2 hours to 4+ hours. Visit the theater or opera house's website for its overall length. If you're new to opera, choose a shorter one if possible. Some longer operas include a dinner break for patrons to stretch their legs and mingle before watching the last acts. Even if your opera does not have a dinner break, it should include at least 1 intermission. . Wearing the appropriate clothes can help you fit in with the crowd if you feel out of place among opera-goers. Although many venues don't require a dress code, people tend to dress formally for evening shows and more casually for matinees. Ask the specific theater about their dressing norms a few days in advance, as every venue is different. Because operas tend to be longer than the average musical, eating something beforehand can keep you in a good mood and focused on the play. Most theaters do not allow guests to bring food or drink into the venue, so eating beforehand is always the safest option. Drinking something with caffeine, like tea or soda, can help you stay alert if you tend to doze off during musical productions. Some theaters allow patrons to eat hard candy, cough drops, or gum during the performance. Ask ahead if you think something to chew on might help you pay attention. Entering the venue at least 30 minutes before the show starts will give you time to explore the theater, find your seats, and get comfortable. Remember to take a quick bathroom break and turn your phone on silent before the production starts to avoid disturbing those around you. If you arrive late, you will be permitted inside the venue, but may have to wait for the next act to enter the doors to get to your seat, as the light flooding into the dark theater will be a distraction.

SUMMARY: Read the opera's plot summary. Listen to the opera music beforehand. Learn some opera terminology. Check how long the opera runs. Dress for the occasion Have a light dinner or snack before the opera. Plan to come at least a half hour early.
