INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Click and hold on tree trunks to break them into wood. Open your inventory and drag the wood into the crafting area. Planks should appear in the results box. Drag the planks to your inventory. Your crafting area is a 2 x 2 grid next to the image of your character. Fill all four slots of your inventory crafting area with planks to make a crafting table. As before, drag the crafting table to your inventory to finish the recipe. In Minecraft Pocket Edition, you just select the object you want from the list. As long as you have the required items, it will appear in your inventory. Put the crafting table into one of your quick slots at the bottom of the screen. Click to pick it up, then right-click on the ground to set it down. From now on, you'll do most of your crafting by right-clicking the crafting table. This gives you a 3 x 3 space to craft instead of the 2 x 2 space in your inventory.  In Pocket Edition, tap the object in your quick slot, then tap the ground to place it. On console editions, use the D-pad or trigger buttons to cycle through your quick slots (depending on your console). Place objects with the left trigger or L2 button. Break down more trees for wood and more wood into planks if you need to. Place one plank above a second plank in your crafting area. Drag the sticks into your inventory. Here's how to make your first tool:  Right-click your crafting table to open it. Place a stick in the center square, and a second stick directly below it. Place three planks along the top row. Drag the pickaxe from the results area into a quick slot. Click the quick slot with your pickaxe to pick it up. Look for stone (grey blocks) in mountainsides or by digging a short ways downward. Click and hold on the stone to break it into cobblestone. Make sure you mine regular cobblestone, and not cracked or mossy cobblestone, since you won't be able to use those to craft a furnace. Leave the center space empty but fill the other eight slots in your crafting table. The cobblestones will be transformed into a furnace. Place your furnace on the ground just as you did with the crafting table.

SUMMARY: Break down trees for wood. Turn the wood into planks. Make a crafting table. Place the crafting table on the ground. Turn more planks into sticks. Make a pickaxe. Mine cobblestone. Place eight cobblestone in the crafting table. Place your furnace in position.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Maintain your relaxed state and calmness. (Remember that yoga helps to realign your body, and that realignment may cause you to feel lightheaded). Remember to drink water; eating a piece of fruit may help with the lightheadedness. Most likely you will feel relaxed and energized at the same time. You may also have the best sleep of your life that night. It is recommended that you attend at least three times a week for full benefit. As your body becomes increasingly limber, you will notice that you also work harder.

SUMMARY: When you leave class you may feel lightheaded or off-balance. Enjoy the benefits. Attend class regularly.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Do not take your earring out for any reason other than sheer discomfort. If you take your earring out of your forward helix, it will close up and you won’t be able to put the earring back in. After 6 weeks, you can take it out, but you should replace it within a couple of minutes. Most of the time, healing will occur from 4 months to 1 year after initial piercing and largely depends on the person, blood flow to the area, and ability to keep the piercing clean and free from infection. Make a warm salt water solution in a bowl just big enough for your ear to be completely submerged in. Take 1 tsp of sea salt and dissolve in 1 cup of warm (not hot) water. Sea salt works better than normal table salt. The salt fights infection in the piercing. Do not use Epsom salt; it has a different chemical makeup and is not actually salt.  Dipping a cotton bud/Q-tip in the warm salt water solution and rubbing it around and against the piercing can also do the trick.  Buy antiseptic solutions specifically made for newly pierced ears. You can buy them at beauty stores and pharmacies. Dip a cotton ball in the solution and rub gently around the piercing. Make sure to clean both sides of the piercing as well to insure that it remains free of harmful bacteria. When you are cleaning the earring, rotate it to both clean as much of the shaft as possible and to prevent your ear from healing too tightly around the piercing. Put the new earrings in immediately after taking the original earring out and cleaning the hole. Your piercing has not yet fully healed, but has reached a point where the earring can be replaced. In the event that you think you have an infection, see a doctor promptly. It is possible that they can give you something to fight the infection and you might be able to keep the earring. If you go too long without receiving medical attention, you will probably have to remove the earring while it heals.

SUMMARY: Leave your starter earring in for 6 weeks. Wash your pierced ear daily. Rotate the earring. Remove your earring and put a new earring in after 6 weeks. See a doctor.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: As noted, you're likely only considering signing over a check because you don't have a bank account.  If it is possible for you to open an account, do so, because it will make this situation (and likely others) simpler.  To open a checking account at a U.S. bank, you generally need to be 18 or older; provide basic information such as full name, address, contact information (phone / email), and Social Security number; and show a government-issued photo ID.  You should be able to find a no-fee checking account at one of your local banks.  Also look into online banks, where free checking accounts are more typical. This is more likely to work with your Aunt Edna than a mega-corporation that sent you a rebate check, of course. Checks with "or bearer" written following the name of the payee can be deposited or cashed (typically, depending on bank policies) by whomever presents the check.  The third party should be prepared to present identification when depositing or cashing the check, depending on the policies of the financial institution, especially if the check is for a larger amount. Checks written out to "cash or bearer" or just "bearer" will work similarly. You will pay a fee in return for this service, but you will walk out with cash that you can use to pay your third party.  Check-cashing charges generally range somewhere between 1% and 12% of the check amount, so shopping around for the best deal can pay off.  Some national retailers, including Walmart, provide this service.  You will need a photo ID to cash the check.

SUMMARY:
Open a bank account, deposit the check, then pay the third party. Ask the original check writer to void the check and write a new one to the third party. Ask the original check writer to add "or bearer" after your name on the check (and future checks written to you). Use a check-cashing service.
