Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Set up a time to talk. Make it clear that you are there because you are concerned. Emphasize that your friend is not at fault. Explain your concerns. Provide your friend with information on local resources. Seek help with your friend.

Answer: It's important that you establish a time and place where you can speak to your friend without fear of anyone overhearing your conversation. Your friend may be embarrassed of the situation, or worse, you could put your friend in danger by having the conversation where the abuser may overhear. Tell your friend that you would like to set some time aside to speak one on one and in private. Let him or her know that it's important. Choose a time and place that provides safety, privacy, and in which you won't have to cut your conversation short because of other obligations. Tell your friend that you are worried about their wellbeing, and that you are speaking to them because you care deeply about them. It may come as a shock that people have noticed what they are going through, and they may initially respond by being dismissive of your concerns. It's important that you let them know that you want to help. Let them know that you are an ally and that you care about them. Explain that what they are going through isn't right and that they should not be treated in an abusive manner. Listen to them when they speak and remain calm to avoid making your friend feel as though they are cornered. Embarrassment is a common reaction among people who have experienced abuse. Many feel as though the abuse is the result of their own shortcomings or failures. Make it clear that they did nothing to deserve being hurt or abused and avoid saying things that could lead them to believe you are judging them like, "why would you let this happen?" Tell your friend that no matter what they do, they do not deserve to suffer abuse. Emphasize how important their safety is to you and let them know that they can trust you to keep what you talk about between the two of you. Your friend may not believe that they are in an abusive relationship, so you may need to explain what you've seen and how you perceive it as inappropriate. Be honest without being argumentative. Explain what has led you to meeting with them like this and how your concerns are making you feel. Let him or her know that domestic abuse tends to escalate over time and things may get worse. Emphasize that you are there to support them no matter what, but that you'd like to help them get out of the abusive situation. After you discuss what has been going on, give your friend the contact information or pamphlets from local shelters or outreach programs that may be able to provide them with guidance or resources. You can find a list of resources for victims and survivors of abuse at http://youth.gov/youth-topics/teen-dating-violence/resources DomesticShelters.org offers a list of shelters throughout the country people can stay in when leaving abusive relationships or homes. Centers.Rainn.Org can provide you with a list by state or zip code of organizations that can help in cases of rape, abuse or incest. Do some internet research for local organizations that can help as well. Depending on your age and situation, you may not be certain about who you can go to for help. If you are minors, speak to a teacher, a coach or someone you trust at your school. If you are adults, it may be up to you and your friend to make a plan to get out of the abusive situation. If your friend is physically abused, contact law enforcement regardless of your age. Police officers often cannot do anything unless responding to active situation, but do not wait for the abuser to hurt your friend to get help. Adults may seek support from others that can give them guidance and help them make the transition away from an abusive relationship. The National Domestic Violence Hotline can help. Call them at 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE).

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Lean forward and hold your board about 6 inches (15cm) above the sand. Throw the board out in front of you when the sand is wet. Run onto the board rather than jumping onto it after you throw it. Keep your knees bent and your weight centered on the board. Maintain your balance until the board stops or shift your weight to turn.

Answer: This is the starting position for both sand skimming and wave skimming. Stand with the water on your left side if you're right-handed and vice versa. While you're holding the skimboard, put 1 hand on the back tail and 1 hand on the side rail halfway up the board. Hold the board so that it's parallel to the ground. One of the most common mistakes in skimboarding is pointing the board upwards before you throw it, which will result in a significantly slower skim. The best time to throw the board is when there's a thin coating of water on the sand between 0.25 inches (0.64cm) and 0.5 inches (1.3cm) high. If you're sand skimming, throw the board just as a wave is being sucked back out into the ocean. If you're skimming the water, throw it just before a wave comes in. Make sure you throw the board parallel to the shoreline to give yourself a longer ride. You can also opt to get a running head start before you throw the board, in order to pick up more speed. However, this isn't strictly necessary if you can throw the board hard enough. When you're just starting out, practice throwing the board from the starting position a few times to get the feel of it down and to learn how hard you need to throw it. If you jump or hop onto a moving skimboard, you'll immediately faceplant. Instead, run up to and alongside the board at an even pace. Place your front foot just slightly past the middle of the board, then place your back foot behind it. Using this method ensures that the board loses no speed as you get onto it (whereas if you jump onto it, the board is forced to break the surface tension of the water and thus stops skimming). Aim to take about 3 running steps before you jump onto your skimboard. Do not push off hard with your first foot when getting on the board; this will make the board shoot forward and fly away from you. Be sure to wear a helmet the first few times you try to run onto the board, just in case you fall off the board. It'll be difficult to learn how to run onto the board without falling, but you'll be able to master this move with enough practice! This is the ideal stance to be in on your skimboard in order to maintain balance and not fall off. Put slightly more pressure on your front foot if you're sand skimming. If you're skimming on water, put more pressure on your back foot just as the board makes contact with the water so that the front of the board doesn't catch on it. Maintaining a low stance on the skimboard is also a good technique for staying balanced while skimming. Your knees not only play an important role in skimboarding, but they're also one of the more at-risk parts of your body when you're skimming. Stop skimboarding immediately if your knees start to hurt to avoid giving yourself a serious injury. Whether your sand skimming or skimming on water, the act of riding a skimboard is mostly about staying on the board until it stops on its own. If you want to turn to change directions, simply shift your weight slightly to the side that you want to be turning towards. You generally won't need to turn much if you're sticking to sand skimming. However, turning is essential for riding waves and performing most tricks.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide to get rid of harmful bacteria. Do a warm salt water rinse to disinfect your mouth.

Answer:
Look for 3% hydrogen peroxide at your local drugstore and dilute it with equal parts water. Vigorously swish the solution in your mouth and between your teeth for about 30 seconds. Gargle the hydrogen peroxide before spitting it out in your sink. Hydrogen peroxide works as an antiseptic, so it works efficiently and getting rid of bacteria in canker sores and minor infections. Avoid using undiluted hydrogen peroxide since it could damage the soft tissue in your mouth. Stir teaspoon (2.8 g) of salt into 1 cup (240ml) of warm water until it's completely dissolved. Take a large sip of the salt water and swish it around your mouth for 3060 seconds. Work the salt water through your entire mouth to ensure it reaches any sores or infections. Spit the salt water out as soon as you're finished with your rinse. Rinsing your mouth with salt water works well toothaches, canker sores, and minor infections. Avoid swallowing the rinse since it contains bacteria and could make you feel sick. Saltwater may sting canker sores if you have any, but it will only be temporary.
