INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Choose colors such as brown, grey, navy blue or camouflage. Avoid wearing black, as it tends to make your silhouette stand out against other objects. Don't wear clothing that restricts your movement, as it'll make it harder to run. Be cautious with fluorescent or bright colors; if you're playing at night, this will make you more visible to cars and passersby, but it'll also make you more visible to other players. Obviously, don't wear your best clothes. Manhunt can involve a lot of crawling around or getting into dirty areas. Pick out clothes that won't show a stain, or clothes that you don't care about. If you're wearing shoes with laces, keep them tied, so as not to slow yourself down. Boundaries should have been established prior to the game, but if the boundaries are fairly loose, make sure to keep out of areas that could get you hurt. Stay out of abandoned buildings, cars, houses that aren't yours or a friend's, areas that are under construction, and areas with potentially dangerous materials in them (such as broken glass). Don't play in forested areas at night or if you haven't explored them before. The risk of getting lost is always there at any time of day, and if you're playing at night, it's much easier to not see dips, tree roots, animals, or other potential hazards. Cheating, or going out-of-bounds, can be fun, but it can also result in you getting lost. Stay out of areas that you don't know very well, and don't wander too far away from in-bounds. Regardless of which team you're on, it's important not to make yourself especially visible to other players, since that'll alert them of your presence. Try the following tips to make yourself less noticeable: Turn the brightness on your cell phone down, and use flashlights sparingly (unless you don't know the area well). Whisper to other players, rather than shouting to them. Don't make a lot of noise in your surroundings, unless it's to create a distraction (e.g. slamming a park gate and running off). Walk quietly, so as not to alert someone with your footsteps.

SUMMARY: Wear lightweight, dark-colored clothing. Avoid entering areas that may get you in trouble. Don't draw attention to yourself.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When your older baby or younger toddler can eat finger foods and has started to grab the spoon from you during meals, he or she is probably ready to learn to eat independently with a spoon. Larger spoons will be too big for a toddler's mouth; you want something teaspoon-sized. Consider purchasing special baby spoons, which are lighter, rounded at the top, and usually made of plastic. To begin, use two spoons: one for you and one for your child. You can feed your child as usual, and he or she can also begin trying out the spoon. Don't worry if, at first, your child uses the spoon primarily to bang on the plate or high chair tray and dribble food around. Self-feeding takes time; he or she will figure it out. Show your toddler how to hold a spoon, and then help by placing your hand over his or her hand to demonstrate. Direct the spoon slowly into your toddler's mouth. As your toddler learns, you can also start using two bowls. You can feed your child from one; he or she can use the other, which should just have a small amount of food in it. Start with thicker, denser foods; these will stay on the spoon, whereas more liquid foods will drip away before your child manages to get the spoon to his or her mouth. Yogurt, cottage cheese, and pudding work well. As your child progresses, move on to thinner purees and soups. Eat when your child eats; family meals are important for teaching self-feeding skills, communication, and manners. Let your toddler know you are proud of his or her growing independence.

SUMMARY: Watch for signs that your child is ready. Choose the right spoon. Start with two spoons. Teach your child how to use a spoon. Pick foods strategically. Set an example. Praise your child's efforts.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Smiling more and incorporating laughter into your daily life has a positive impact on your overall well-being. Smiling and laughter is also contagious, so you may be able to influence the moods of those around you. Smiling and laughing can also help to decrease stress. When you are smiling and laughing, your stress levels decrease, similar to the way that exercising causes your body to release feel-good chemicals called endorphins. When you consciously make an effort to smile and laugh daily, you may become more resilient to life's challenges. Being more resilient in difficult situations can help you to feel happy and be more successful. Perhaps the easiest way to cease frowning so much is to relax your forehead when you feel tension in your face. You can even massage between your two eyebrows using your index and middle finger when you feel your brows furrowing. You may be frowning and furrowing your brows because you are having issues with your sight. This may be forcing you to squint or frown. If you have been having headaches lately, your vision is blurry, or your sight has changed, consider seeing an eye doctor. They will be able to prescribe glasses, contacts or perhaps even Lasik surgery if necessary. If possible, keep a mirror on your desk at work to monitor your expression and correct it if you see yourself frowning. If you are currently in school and there is a mirror in your classroom, try to situate yourself in sight of it. When you are at home, sit near a mirror as well. Don't stare at yourself constantly. Look occasionally to ensure that you are not frowning. Practice facial expressions in the mirror. Practice smiling and then resting your face. Repeat the process for a few minutes. Your family and friends can be particularly helpful in assisting you on your quest to stop frowning. Communicate to them this wish and ask them to tell you when you are frowning. Frowning may have become so natural to you that you do not even realize that you are doing it. Since you can't see your face unless you are in front of a mirror, as your friends to let you know when your face develops a scowl. You might say to them "Hey, I have noticed that people tell me I frown a lot, but I don't even notice I'm doing it. Can you tell me when you see me frowning so I can learn to stop doing it?" When you are at home, and even while you are sleeping, you can train yourself to stop frowning. Take a piece of clear plastic tape and place it between your eyebrows. This will create a barrier on your skin to prevent you from frowning using your eyebrows. You might be frowning during your sleep as well, so this will begin correcting the issue even when you are not awake. Try not to put the tape on any of your eyebrow hairs so that you don't cause irritation when you take the tape off. Though practicing facial expressions will assist you in your efforts to frown less, sometimes it is necessary to fake it until you make it. Actively encourage and remind yourself to smile throughout your day. Smile when you see someone walking past you. Smile when someone makes eye contact with you. On particularly sunny days, you may be forced to squint to protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun, which can cause you to frown. However, consider wearing sunglasses to prevent yourself from furrowing your brow.

SUMMARY:
Remind yourself that smiling and laughter is good for body and soul. Relax your forehead. Consider getting glasses. Keep a mirror on your desk. Enlist the help of others. Place tape on your forehead. Smile. Wear sunglasses when outside.
