INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Epoxies are most commonly sold as a two-part system, which consist of a couple separate components: a resin and a hardener. These components have to be combined in order to be effective. Though not as common, one-part epoxies are also available, and can be applied straight out of the package. You can find basic epoxy kits at hardware stores, art supply shops and pharmacies, and in the home improvement aisle of most supercenters. Squeeze a small glob of each component onto a smooth, disposable surface, like a paper plate. Swirl the two substances together using a toothpick, coffee stirrer or similar utensil. Once combined, they'll form one super-strong adhesive. Pull on a pair of gloves before you get to work. Spread a thin layer of adhesive onto the surfaces you need to glue. You can do this with the same toothpick or coffee stirrer you used to mix it, though you may have better results using something like a cotton swab that offers you more control over where it ends up. Brush an even coating over the entire surface, being careful not to leave any large gaps uncovered. For a superior hold, apply a small amount of epoxy to both pieces rather than globbing it all onto one. Take your time configuring your work surfaces. Epoxy dries fairly slowly compared to other types of adhesives, so you won't need to rush to get everything in place. Clamping the pieces together or resting a heavy object on top can help the epoxy form a more solid bond. Find an out of the way place to let the adhesive set up. It should dry to the touch within about 5 minutes, but it may take as long as 20 hours for it to cure completely. Try not to touch either piece too much in the meantime, if you can help it. Epoxies solidify as they dry, which makes for a longer-lasting connection, even in wet conditions. The drying time of a particular brand of epoxy will usually be listed on the packaging.

SUMMARY: Purchase an epoxy applicator kit. Mix the resin and hardener. Apply the epoxy. Position the pieces as needed. Leave the epoxy to harden overnight.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You'll need two or three people to help you roll the patient onto her back. Wash your hands before rolling and explain to the patient what you're going to do (if she's conscious). The patient should be lying on a blanket or turning sheet with her hands placed across her chest. You should all be holding the blanket or sheet on the side of the patient that's farthest from you. Gradually pull the sheet towards you and over the patient, turning her onto her back. Once the patient is on her back, you can examine the skin. Look for any bruising that might indicate trauma, lacerations or gunshot wounds. Since you should have already examined and cleared the cervical spine, you'll need to press (palpate) each individual vertebrae of the back. Specifically, palpate the thoracic and lumbar spine, feeling each vertebrae for pain that might indicate a fracture. Don't forget to check any parts of the musculo-skeletal system that you might not have examined earlier. For example, you can ask the patient to grasp your finger with their clutched hand to check for motor control and strength, and then ask the patient to tell you without looking which finger of theirs you are gripping. Palpate down the lengths of the arms and legs as well, all the way to the toes and fingers to feel for possible fractures. You can also do this when you are doing the log roll check of the patient's spine. Once the primary and secondary surveys are complete, perform a TTS. This extensive examination should take place within 24 hours of admitting the patient. Or, do it when the patient is awake and alert enough to participate in the examination. You'll need to get the patient's medical chart that includes all laboratory and radiologic data. This information will be combined with the opinions of consultants in order to make a management and care plan that's specific to the patient.
Summary: Log roll the patient. Access the patient's back. Move on to a trauma tertiary survey (TTS).

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before talking to your parents, you and your friends should get together and all figure out the details of the trip. The most important part of your trip to figure out is where you are going to go. Even if you already know your destination, make sure you know exactly what region or area you want to visit. If you plan to visit multiple locations, make sure you know exactly where they are and how far apart they are from each other. For instance, even if you know that you want to visit California, you can narrow down your trip to visiting San Francisco and San Jose. If you and your friends disagree on where to go, try to reach a consensus. If your parents pick up on the fact that you and your friends have different thoughts about the trip, they will be less likely to give their permission. Once you know where you're going, figure out how long your trip will take, including travel time. Make sure that you and your friends check a calendar and pick the exact dates you will be leaving and coming back. Check in with your friends about their schedules and coordinate a time that works best for everyone. Make a comprehensive day-by-day plan that details exactly where you will be throughout your trip. This is especially important if you are visiting multiple cities or countries. You need to know exactly what days you will be in each location. You also should figure out what main activity or activities you will be doing each day. For example, one day in your schedule could be: "Monday, September 12: 3rd day in Mexico City. Visit the Anthropology Museum and the Casa Azul. Eat dinner downtown." Hear your friends out and compromise when you are planning your activities. Once you know exactly where you'll be on each day of your trip, you can start to figure out how you will get from place to place. If you are travelling a long distance, you will have to fly to your destination. Then figure out how to get from place to place based on the plans that you laid out. Note the cost of the transportation. Don't actually buy any tickets, just write down how much a ticket would cost. Figure out how where you will stay overnight for each part of the trip. Ask you friends if they know of anyone in the place you are visiting where you could stay. Also check out the prices of hotels and hostels, and write down several options. Aim to be economical, but don't stay somewhere that isn't reputable just because it's cheap. Add up the price of your transportation and lodgings. Then add the approximate amount you expect to spend per day on food and souvenirs. Add a little extra in case something comes up. This should give you a good estimate of the cost of the trip. Adding a little extra money to your budget in case of emergencies will help show your parents that you are responsible and thinking ahead. This may help convince them to let you go. Either type up or write down your itinerary. It should include everything that you have already worked on, and should be organized by day. Each day should include the main activities of the day along with the price of each hotel and method of transport. This will show your parents how much thought you put into your trip as well as give them an idea of the sorts of things you will be doing. This may help reassure them.

SUMMARY:
Pinpoint where you want to go. Figure out how long your trip will be. Make a day by day plan. Figure out transportation. Find places to stay. Estimate the overall cost. Write out your itinerary.
