INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is a great way to give your bill a permanent curve, as it is very effective and easy to do. Curve the bill inward so that the ends are touching, and slide it into a coffee mug. The curved bill should fit into the coffee mug with no problem. Allow the cap to sit in the mug overnight, and it will be perfectly curved when you remove it in the morning. You'll need a can (soda can, beer can, soup can, etc.) and a rubber band to secure it in place. Leave your hat wrapped like this overnight, and you'll have a nice, subtle curve in the bill of your baseball cap. You can also use a baseball instead of a can or glass. This will be a bit harder to hold in place with a rubber band, but is doable and will get you similar results. Turn your hat upside down so that the inside is facing upwards. Curve the bill so that the ends of it are touching. Then, fold the bill towards the back opening of the hat, and slide the curved bill into the hat's opening. The opening will hold the bill in place. Leave the hat in this position overnight. This method will give you a less intense curve in the bill of your baseball cap.

SUMMARY: Stick the bill of your baseball cap in a coffee mug overnight. Wrap the bill of your baseball cap around a can or glass overnight. Curve the bill of your hat into the back opening of your hat.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Hemp is a durable and long-lasting fabric, but it's most effectively washed by hand. Machine washing and especially drying has a tendency to weaken hemp more quickly, losing the texture and strength that many people love about hemp clothing and other items. If you plan to wash your hemp fabric by hand, use a gentle, all-natural detergent and make sure to rinse thoroughly. Tom's soap works great for washing hemp items. Residual soap can leave cellulose, which oxidizes and leaves large brown spots on hemp, making it very important to soak hemp items in clean water thoroughly for a while after washing them. Hemp will get softer the more you use and wash it. If you need to get it softened faster, you can use a commercial softener, or just soak the hemp to let the fibers soften over time. If you want to soften hemp quickly, throwing it in the washer and dryer is perfectly fine. Use hot water to slowly ease open the hemp fibers and tumble dry it a few times to get it feeling soft quickly. Hemp should come out of the dryer soft and fluffy as any fabric. To get the most life out of hemp, it's recommended to air dry or line-dry it as often as possible. If your intention is to soften the hemp quickly, the heat dryer is fine to use a few times on a gentle cycle, but it's good to air dry hemp long term. Hemp clothing can be one of the most long-lasting and durable fabrics if treated properly and air-dried gently. Once your hemp piece is dry, you can use an iron on hot to flatten it out if it is wrinkled or creased. It is best to iron the hemp when it is still slightly damp, so you can take it off the line while it's still a bit damp. Stretch the article to its natural shape and size and then iron it normally. For hemp that is colored, use an iron on the underside only.

SUMMARY: Wash your hemp by hand. Wash your hemp garments a few times if you need to soften them. Air or line dry hemp clothing. Eliminate wrinkles from the wash by giving your hemp a hot iron.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is when a doctor does some pulling and tugging maneuvers to strategically re-align your shoulder joint. You will sometimes be given muscle relaxants first, and occasionally a sedative as well depending upon the severity of your pain. Once your shoulder joint is re-aligned, the pain you feel should significantly improve. After your shoulder has been re-aligned, it will need to be immobilized for the first part of the healing period (generally three to four weeks). This is usually accomplished using a sling. After initial immobilization, your physician will recommend a specific rehabilitation program for you as your shoulder begins to feel better. Following through with the rehabilitation plan is key for recovering full range of motion. It is especially important if you are an athlete and if returning to optimum sports performance is your goal. Your rehabilitation will likely involve doing specific exercises and stretches to strengthen your shoulder. Exercises that your doctor might suggest may include isometric exercises, which strengthen the muscles without moving the joint, internal and external rotations, and/or band exercises. Perform an internal rotation by attaching an exercise band to a sturdy point about waist-high. Hold the band in your hand, bending your elbow to 90 degrees and resting it against your side. Keep your elbow steady against your side and pull the band across your body. Lay your forearm flat against your stomach if possible (but only pull as far as is comfortable). Then slowly release. Try an isometric adduction. Place a small item, like a rolled up newspaper, between your injured arm and your torso. Squeeze the item and try to hold it in place for five seconds. Repeat five to ten times. Check with your doctor before performing any exercises to avoid further injury. Since a dislocated shoulder can be quite a painful injury, you will likely need pain medications as you recover. Depending upon the severity of your injury, your doctor may offer you prescription pain meds for the first few days. Alternatively, you can opt for over-the-counter pain meds such as Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and/or Ibuprofen (Advil), which may be sufficient to keep the pain under control. Another strategy to help with recovery after a shoulder dislocation is icing the area. Icing helps to diminish inflammation and it can also temporarily ease the pain. For severe and/or repeated shoulder dislocations, surgery may be used as a last resort treatment. The risks of surgery are higher, so it is generally reserved for exceptional cases.

SUMMARY: Undergo shoulder reduction. Immobilize your shoulder. Exercise your shoulder. Take pain medications as needed. Ice your shoulder. Use surgery as a last resort.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're looking to catch someone as a prize or to get someone to go to bed with you, you're treating the person like a thing, and you're probably experiencing lust. Security isn't important to you; you're more interested in the score and in how great it feels to be physical together. After you get what you want, you can take or leave the other person. You're trying to figure out what you have to do to get this person to invite you up for a nightcap. Who cares if you have an argument? You can find someone new without the hassle of bickering, fighting and drama. The sex is great, but it's not worth the baggage, unless it's make-up sex after one of those passionate arguments.

SUMMARY:
Examine whether you treat the object of your interest as a person or a thing. Evaluate how secure you feel. Analyze the way that you're thinking about the other person. Look at how you handle conflict.
