INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Since bookshelves aren't normally meant to sit on, this one is probably better for kids than adults, but hacking an Ikea shelf actually makes a great place to get little ones ready for school. Try the narrow Expedit shelf (one 5-shelf column), which is handy because the square shelves allow the accompanying storage baskets and bins to work in this orientation as well. This will give you a great place to sit your preschooler down to change shoes, hats, mittens, as well as store backpacks and other items. Build the shelf as described in the product's instructions and then turn it on its side. The side on the floor will eventually become the top or seat of the bench. Go to your local hardware store and pick out some legs for your bench. You can get wheels (like the kind you see on shopping carts) or wooden or metal furniture feet. Whatever you feel matches with your decoration and your needs. Attach the feet at the corners of the bench as described in the instructions for the product you buy. At least four feet are necessary. Six are recommended. Make sure the screw does not interfere with the other pieces holding the shelf together. Be strategic! Turn the shelf so that it sits on its new feet. You now have a bench! Either make a custom cushion or buy relatively flat, square cushions to go on top of the bench. Glue strips of velcro to the top of the bench and then attach the other side of the velcro to the underside of your pillows. It is best to put the soft, fluffy side of the velcro on the pillows, as it will make them easier to wash. You can add finishing touches by painting the bench a different color, if you want to. You can also buy baskets or other storage items to go in the shelves.

SUMMARY: Buy a sturdy, narrow bookshelf. Turn it on its side. Add wheels or legs. Turn it right side up. Add cushions. Add finishing touches.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Position your 36" 2x4 flat, longways on your workbench or another suitable sturdy surface. Place your 18" 2x4 at a right angle to your 36" piece at 15" from the end of the 36" piece and screw them into place. Place it atop your 2x4 planks. The 18" side of your plywood will be vertical to your 36" plank, its base parallel with the 36" plank, and its diagonal will approximately span the distance between the two ends each 2x4 plank. Screw down your triangle securely to your 2x4s. This forms one base leg of your catapult. In the same fashion you constructed the right side, put your 36" and 18" 2x4 planks at a right angle 15" from the end of the long piece, and screw your triangular plywood piece into place atop the two 2x4 planks, with the base parallel to the 36" 2x4. Using your two 15" long 2x4 planks, screw your left and right side, with the base of your triangle and base of your 36" 2x4 forming the bottom, leaving the hypotenuse (the diagonal) facing up. Use long screws to ensure your frame is sturdy. Do not use nails for this part of your frame. Nails are sensitive to the stress your catapult will exert, and could come loose over time.
Summary: Lay out the right side of your base. Attach your plywood triangle. Lay out the left side of your base and affix your other triangular plywood piece. Connect the left and right sides of the base.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If the cut is actively bleeding, the first step is to stop that bleeding. Do this by applying pressure to the area, using a clean cloth or medical gauze. Do not remove the cloth until the bleeding has stopped completely. Facial injuries often bleed worse than other parts of the body, so the injury may look worse than it is. Crying makes bleeding worse, so try to remain calm and stop crying. If the cut is very deep, particularly if it is a puncture wound, you may need to go to the hospital immediately. Large gaping wounds or deep wounds will likely need stitches and professional cleaning. More superficial wounds can be cared for at home. Before you touch the open wound in any way, be sure to clean your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water. Wash both hands, between all of your fingers, and your wrists thoroughly, rinse with hot water, and dry with a clean towel. Hand-washing is a very important method of avoiding the chance of any infection in the wound. Clean the wound very gently with water and soap. Be sure to rinse the soap out of the wound completely with water. Be sure to remove any visible debris or dirt from the wounded area. Use cool or slightly warm water. Water that is too hot may cause the wound to start bleeding again. Be patient and slow with this step. If there is debris in the wound, try using a soft cloth to aid in removing it. If necessary, sterilize tweezers with rubbing alcohol and use them to aid in removing pieces of debris from the wound. Avoid using hydrogen peroxide or iodine, which can irritate or damage tissue. An antibiotic ointment such as Neosporin or Polysporin is the best option, but if none is available, simple petroleum jelly such as Vaseline can help. Expensive creams or treatments that claim to reduce scarring are generally not as helpful as they claim to be. Place a sterile bandage over the wounded area. This may be a bit cumbersome on your face, but it is important to keep the area free from potential infections. Place a bandage over the cut and use medical tape above and below the bandage to keep it in place. If the wound is still bleeding, try to secure the bandage tightly over the area. If it is not, a loose covering is adequate. A wide open cut needs to be pinched together to aid in healing and reduce scarring. Butterfly tape can help pull the skin together and enable it to heal. If this does not work, you will likely need stitches and you should go to the hospital. If the wound area is swollen (for example, if the cut is the result of a forceful blow), it is important to get the swelling in the area down as well. This can be done by putting ice on the area for 20 minutes at a time.

SUMMARY:
Stop any bleeding. Assess the injury. Wash your hands. Wash out the cut completely. Apply treatment to the wound. Bandage the wound. Use butterfly tape for wide wounds. Reduce any swelling.
