Toe cramps may be caused by dehydration, so make sure that you drink plenty of water. Try to drink at least six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water every day to stay hydrated. If you are active, then you may need to drink more. You may also get toe cramps because of a mineral deficiency. One way to ensure that you are getting enough minerals is to take a daily vitamin that includes 100% of your daily value of vitamins and minerals. Make sure that the multivitamin you choose contains sodium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium. A deficiency of any of these four minerals may cause leg cramps. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for how to take the supplement and talk to your doctor if you have any questions about choosing the right supplement for you. Eat a well-balanced diet as well to help prevent toe cramps. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein in your diet. Uncomfortable shoes may also lead to foot cramps for some people. Try to choose low-heeled shoes with wide toe-boxes. Avoid narrow toed shoes that make it hard or impossible for you to move your toes. You should be able to wiggle your toes in your shoes. Stretching your toes and feet more often may also help to prevent toe cramps. Make sure that you stretch your feet, toes, calves, and legs before you do any exercise and before you go to bed. You can also wear toe stretchers at night if you are prone to toe cramps while you sleep. Toe stretchers keep your toes separated from each other and help to stretch the small muscles around your toes as well. You can find toe stretchers in the beauty section of drug stores. They are meant to be used to keep toes apart during a pedicure, but they may also help prevent toe cramps. Strengthening exercises can fortify the foot and tendons and muscles that act directly on the toes. One exercise is doing calf raises. Stand with your hands steady against the wall or a chair. Raise your heels up, hold for five seconds and then come back to neutral. Repeat eight to 10 times. You can also work on towel curls. Place a flat towel on the ground. Put your foot over the towel, and attempt to roll it up using your toes. Once you do, use your toes and foot to roll the towel back out. Do this exercise about three times a week. If your feet and toes get cold, then this may lead to cramping as well. Wear socks or slippers around the house and wear warm socks with appropriate footwear when you go outside. Try using a heating pad to warm your feet if warm socks are not enough.

Q: Include the most important details at the beginning of your article and let them take up the most space. Each subsequent paragraph can include general information and background notes, but put the most compelling information about the "who, what, where, when, why, and how" of the story first. A lot of times, readers will decide if they want to continue reading an article based off of the first sentence or two. The headline, or "hed," needs to be catchy while communicating the essence of the article with just a few words. Keep the headline short, direct, and active. Match the tone of the headline to the tone of the article. Sometimes you'll come up with a great headline before you even write the article, but most often you won't know exactly what you're presenting until after you've written it. Try waiting until after you've written your article to come up with the headline, and then make sure it fits in with the given topic. Keep each paragraph to 3 or 4 sentences maximum. Present the information and give the details about the subject at hand. Save background information and quotes for the following paragraphs. People who want to know more about the topic will continue reading past those first 2 paragraphs, but people who just wanted the basic information will get their answers without having to search through the entire article. Avoid flowery language or redundant sentences. Be specific and concise, and communicate why the subject matters. Use the active voice and an informational tone. For example, instead of saying, "Principal Miller comes from rainy Washington state and had been teaching before becoming a principal for 15 years," you could say something like, "Principal Miller previously lived in Washington, and she has over 15 years of experience in the educational system." When you can, use a quote to communicate an opinion (unless you're writing a column) or a directive. For example, if the flu is spreading around school, get a quote from the school nurse about preventative measures students can take to stay healthy. Quotes should give your article authority and back up the facts you're presenting. Always ask for permission to quote someone when you're interviewing them. Check that your sources are cited correctly and proofread for grammatical and spelling errors. Read your article out loud to listen for awkward sentences or poorly constructed paragraphs. You could even have a friend or peer review your article to see if there are any details you forgot to include. Being able to proofread your own work is an essential part of being a successful member of the newspaper staff, and the more you work at it, the better you'll get.
A: Use the inverted pyramid style to captivate readers. Come up with a catchy headline to hook people into reading your article. Answer all the pertinent questions within the first 2 paragraphs. Write with clear, descriptive language and an engaging tone. Include quotations that support the content of the article. Proofread and edit your article before submitting it to your editor.

Article: Mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime. Walk around your house and make note of any cracks, holes, vents, openings, or other access points. Seal these with metal or cement to keep mice and other rodents from entering. It's also a good idea to put screens around chimneys, to use weather stripping on doors and windows, and to repair all window screen holes. Mice and other rodents often hide or make homes in woodpiles, shrubbery, and other items that are stored near your house. Keep shrubs and long grass trimmed, trim branches that are overhanging your roof, and store firewood, barbecues, patio furniture, and other items at least 20 feet away from your house. Mice will eat all sorts of things, including scraps, garbage, crumbs, pet food, seeds, fruit, and more. To ensure mice don't find a food source in or around your home, there are many steps you can take: Store food in airtight glass containers Clean floors, counters, and pantries regularly Store pet-food and trash in rodent-proof containers Clean up fallen birdseed Pick fresh fruits and vegetables immediately Address leaks, moisture problems, and other fresh water sources
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Seal entry points into your house. Eliminate shelters and hiding places. Remove food and water sources.

Article: Space the cucumber plants 1ft (30cm) apart from one another. Create rows that are spaced directly beneath the bottom netting bars. Waiting to plant the cucumbers until after you build the trellis prevents your cucumbers from getting root damage. Once your plants start growing, vines will emerge. You may need to wind them around a few times before they stay in place. This trains them to climb on the trellis. This trains your cucumbers to grow upward and naturally climb onto the trellis. After your vines have grown about 1ft (30cm) in length, they will probably begin climbing the trellis without additional training. Keep an eye on your cucumber plants and train any vines that don't naturally start climbing the trellis.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Plant your cucumbers below the trellis. Wrap the vine tendrils around the bottom of the clothesline. Continue winding the vines around the clothesline as they grow. Monitor their progress throughout the growing season.
