Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Shop at the end of the day. Wear them around the store. Assess how your toes feel. Select a heel height. Practice walking at home before taking your heels out.

Answer: At the end of the day, your feet are more swollen from a full day of activity. Shopping at the end of the day will help you get a better idea of how your heel will truly fit. You would hate to try your heels on in the morning and then have them be too tight when you wear them in the afternoon. Walk around in your heels before you buy them. If you feel like the heels are tight or uncomfortable in any way, you may want to choose another pair. Your feet should feel supported and balanced when you have on your heels. Any pain you feel in the store will only get worse the longer you wear the heels. For example, if the back of the shoe is rubbing your heel in the store, you will probably develop a blister if you wear the heels in real life. Try to walk on different surfaces in the store as well. Your heels will different on carpet than walking on a harder surface. Find shoes that have enough space for your toes. Cramped toes and shoes that are not wide enough will definitely cause pain. If you consistently wear heels without enough toe space, you will increase your chances of developing hammer toes, corns, bunions, and arthritis. Round toes and almond toes provide much more room than the classic pointy toes. Pointy toes with even a slightly rounded almond shape provide more room than the classic wedge-shaped pointy toes. A deeper toe box provides much more room overall than a shallower one.Pointy toes with deep toe boxes will pinch less than round toes with extremely shallow toe-boxes. The ideal heel height is between one and three inches. Walking in heels over three inches changes how you walk and puts more stress on your lower back, knees, and ankle. However, choose a heel height that you are comfortable with. Luckily, there are many different heel heights to choose from. Kitten heels are between 1.5 to 2 inches. These heels are good for all day wear. The 3 inch heel is considered a classic heel height and is acceptable to wear to work. A 4 inch heel is appropriate for after work and weekend activities. A 5 or 6 inch heel is less comfortable and more difficult to walk in. You may want to save these for when you will not do a lot of walking and only plan to wear them for a few hours. You can return your shoes as long as you do not wear them outside. Wear your heels around your house as much as you can. Wear them when you cook dinner, wash dishes, or do laundry. It is best to wear them for a couple of hours. Shoes that seem comfortable at first may not be after a few minutes, or even an hour or two. You'll notice that heels cause your steps to be shorter; this is normal.The higher the heel, the shorter your steps will be. Don't try to stride like you would in sneakers. When you walk, make sure you keep your heels vertical; do not let them roll to the side. This will lead to the heel slipping and cause you to fall.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Set the right tone. Raise the issue directly. Avoid making the situation worse. Avoid making statements that seem dismissive. Don't keep secrets.

Answer: If someone you know is exhibiting signs of being suicidal, one of the most important things you can do is talk to that person about what you've noticed in a loving and non-judgmental way. Be a good listener. Maintain eye-contact, pay close attention, and respond in a gentle tone. A good starting point is to say: "I've noticed you've been feeling really down lately, and I have been very concerned. Are you having thoughts of suicide?" If the person says yes, the next step is to ask: "Do you have a plan for suicide?" If they answer in the affirmative, call 911 immediately! A person who has a plan needs to get help right away. Stay with the person until help arrives. There are some things that may seem helpful to say, but actually may increase a suicidal person's guilt or shame. For example, avoid the following types of comments: "Tomorrow is another day. Everything will look better then." "It can always be worse. You should feel lucky for everything you have." "You have so much to look forward to/You have everything going for you." "Don't worry. Everything/you will be fine." Some types of comments can convey the idea that you don't take the person's feelings seriously. Avoid the following types of remarks: "Things aren't that bad." "You wouldn't hurt yourself." "I've felt overwhelmed too, and I made it through." If someone confides in you that they are suicidal, do not agree to keep the matter a secret. This person needs help as soon as possible. Keeping the matter secret will only delay needed assistance.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Visit a local festival. Visit a garage sale. Make homemade arts and crafts. Go to antique stores. Shop at thrift stores. Clean out your home. Buy wholesale items.

Answer:
Go to a festival and pay attention to what people are buying. Also note which booths are getting a lot of traffic. Once you determine the popular items, find out how much those items are being sold for. This will help you set your prices when you sell at a festival. If you are feeling bold, you can go up to some of the festival goers and ask them what types of items are they interested in buying. Items that usually sell well include jewelry, electronics, furniture, toys, books, candles, tools and knives. Garage sales are great places to find items to sell at a festival. It is best to get to the sale early so you can have your pick of the best items. Look for items such as kitchenware, jewelry, toys, and children's clothing as these items are good for reselling. You can often get good deals on large items like furniture at the end of the day when people are ready to get rid of an item. Always, examine the items and make sure they are still in good condition. If you are buying an appliance, ask if you can plug it in to see if it works before you buy it. Negotiate prices when you can. Start with 50% of the suggested price. The bigger the discount you get on the item, the more profit you can make when you resell the item. Dress modestly when you go shopping. Do not wear any expensive jewelry or shoes. A person may be less likely to give you a good deal if you look like you have a lot of money. Always take cash with you. Many people are looking for unique, handmade items to buy when they visit festivals. If you make blankets, jewelry, pottery, or clothing, a festival is a good place to sell. Selling unique items will set you a part from other vendors. Crafts that you can learn how to make at home and that resell well are candles, decorated cups and glasses, knitted items, friendship bracelets, tote bags, and food (e.g. cookies, cakes, etc.) Antique stores carry a variety of items that can be resold for profit. Cheap items that sell well include sterling silver jewelry, antique clocks, named glassware (e.g. Tiffany, Haviland, Steuben, Roseville, Lalique, Belleek, etc.), Hummel Figurines, and Mettlach Beer Steins. If you can, develop a relationship with the antique store owners. They can help you identify good items for reselling and give you a heads up when they receive new inventory. The best items to make a profit from are books and textbooks, picture frames, video games, brand name clothing, Pyrex and glassware, records and record players, sporting equipment, and any items with the tag still on them. If you find an item that looks good, do a quick eBay search to determine how much the item is currently selling for. This will help you decide if your purchase will be profitable. Shop at high end thrift stores or stores in wealthier neighborhoods. There may be better quality items there. Always clean up your purchases before you resell them at the festival. Many thrift stores have discount days. Buying deeply discounted items can increase your profit. Go through your home and choose items as if you were having a garage sale. Make sure the items are in good condition and still work. You may not get what you paid for the item, but you can still make money without having to purchase anything. Buying wholesale will allow you to get items at a discounted price. Before you purchase, decide what type of items you are interested in selling. This will help decide which retailers to buy from. DOBA allows you to select the items (e.g. clothes, tools, books, electronics, games) that you are interested in selling. Wholesale Central maintains a list of websites that you can purchase from. The websites are grouped by category. You may have to purchase a minimum amount to get a discounted price. Check the Better Business Bureau for complaints against the supplier before you purchase from them. Some suppliers do not sell to individuals, so you may need a Tax Identification Number under a business name.
