INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To draw a straight line without a ruler, just draw a starting and ending dot for the horizontal line. Then place your pencil on the starting dot and keep your eye on the ending dot as you draw a straight line toward it. This line can be just a few inches or centimeters long. The diagonal line on the left side should be opening up toward the left, and the diagonal line on the right side should be opening up toward the right. You can think of each of these lines forming a 120 degree angle with the horizontal line. They should create a mirror-image of the first two diagonal lines. The line on the bottom left should look like a reflection of the line on the top left, and the line on the bottom right should look like a reflection of the line on the top right. While the top lines were moving outward from the top horizontal line, the bottom lines should move inward from the bottom edges of the top lines, toward the space where the base will be. This will form the base of the hexagon. It should ideally be parallel to the top horizontal line. This will complete your hexagon.

SUMMARY: Draw a horizontal line. Draw two diagonal lines from the ends of the horizontal line. Draw two more diagonal lines moving inward from the bottom edges of the first two diagonal lines. Draw another horizontal line connecting the two bottom lines.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Apply a cold compress, washcloth filled with ice, or a bag of frozen vegetables to the swollen area in 10-minute intervals. Apply the ice pack for approximately 20 minutes every hour during the first couple days of healing. Begin this treatment immediately and continue it for 24 to 48 hours. Press on the skin around the eye, not on the eye itself. Make sure you wrap the ice pack in a towel or cloth. Applying ice directly to your skin can cause skin damage and frostbite. If the pain or discomfort is hard to bear, take an over-the-counter pain reliever. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is generally considered to be the best option. Ibuprofen (Advil) works too, depending upon which you have available. Both are available for purchase over-the-counter at your local pharmacy or drugstore. Aspirin should be avoided since it decreases the blood's clotting ability. Follow the instructions on the label when taking the medication. For acetaminophen, don't take more than 4 g in 24 hours. For ibuprofen, the max dose is 2 g in 24 hours. If you have kidney or liver problems, talk with a doctor before taking pain medications like these. Oftentimes, a black eye can be accompanied by significant swelling around the eye. If this is the case for you, and if it is challenging to open your eye, there is no need to force it open unnecessarily. As long as you have ruled out that it is nothing more serious than a black eye (that there are no other medical concerns), there is no problem with keeping your injured eye shut if it is painful to open. As your black eye heals (which normally takes one to two weeks in total), you will want to ensure that you wear glasses or other protective gear if you find yourself in any situation that could potentially cause further damage to your eye. Or, if you injured your eye during sports, refrain from participating in this sport until your eye has fully healed. A black eye is bad enough, but not necessarily serious on its own. If accompanied by other eye injuries, however, you will need to seek professional medical care as soon as possible. You may have suffered severe damage to your eyes or a severe head injury. Look closely at the white portion and colored iris of your eye. If you see any blood in these spots, you could have injured your eye in a critical way. Schedule an urgent appointment with an ophthalmologist.[ If you have vision problems like blurring, double vision, or an increased sensitivity to light, you should also contact an eye specialist. Other signs of potentially critical damage include severe pain when moving the eye, severe headache, numbness of the face, swelling or depression of the eye or eye socket, nosebleeds, and/or dizziness.

SUMMARY: Apply ice to the area around your eye. Take a pain reliever. Do not force your eye open. Protect your eye during any "at-risk" activities. Check for additional damage.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A deep fryer works well, but a stockpot, large wok, or Dutch oven works equally well. You should fill the pot with at least 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10 cm) of oil. Heat the oil over medium to medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature between 350 and 375 degrees Fahrenheit (177 and 191 degrees Celsius). You can check the temperature of the oil by using a candy thermometer. If you use a thermometer that can be attached to the side of the pot, you can monitor the temperature of the oil throughout the entire cooking process. Only add about six to seven rangoon to the oil at once. If you are not used to deep frying foods, you may even want to start out with three or four at once. You need to make sure that you leave plenty of room to prevent the rangoon from sticking together or frying incompletely. You also need plenty of room to be able to fish them out of the oil. The crab rangoon should turn golden brown and should be floating at the surface. Use a deep fryer scoop or ladle with draining holes to fish each rangoon out. In the absence of this tool, use metal tongs. Placing them on paper towels will drain off excess oil. Wait a few minutes after pulling the rangoon out of the oil to prevent them from being scalding hot, but serve them shortly thereafter.

SUMMARY: Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot. Drop several crab rangoon into the oil. Cook the rangoon for roughly 5 to 7 minutes. Place the crab rangoon on paper towels. Serve hot.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is the amount most manual desktop and electric staplers can bind, but heavy-duty staplers can handle up to 100 or more pieces. Be sure your papers are all facing the same way and are in the order you want to bind them in.

SUMMARY:
Gather up to 20 pieces of paper.
