Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Buy from a Gucci store. Purchase glasses from upscale retailers. Make sure the online store has a return policy. Avoid buying from street vendors. Check the price.

Answer: The best and most reliable way to make sure you're purchasing real Gucci sunglasses is to buy directly from a Gucci store. This way, there will be no doubt or need to check the sunglasses to make sure that they're real. Not every area has a Gucci store, but Gucci does have a store that you can purchase from directly online. If ordering from Gucci online, make sure that your package has not been opened or tampered with in any way. If you can't buy directly from Gucci, the next best way to assure that the sunglasses are real is to buy from a reliable retailer. For example, Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, or Nordstrom are some reliable luxury department stores that sell Gucci products. These department stores are sometimes found in standalone locations, but often they are found in malls. If you must buy from an online retailer that is not Gucci or an upscale department store, then make sure a return policy is offered. Only buy the sunglasses if there is a conditional return policy, and if the seller is trusted and has good ratings. This will give you the chance to inspect the sunglasses for authenticity before deciding to keep or return them. You will often see street vendors selling what they claim to be "luxury" items on busy streets. More often than not, the goods will be fake. You can tell this by the price of the products and by a quick inspection. Unless you are okay with fake goods, avoid street vendors. Gucci sunglasses are known for being notoriously expensive. The price is usually at or above $200. It's unlikely that an authentic pair of sunglasses will be much cheaper than that price.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask your parent to quit smoking. Be available. Take their mind off smoking. Make your home and their home smoke-free. Encourage them to use nicotine alternatives.

Answer: The first step in convincing your parent to quit smoking is to let them know that you would like them to quit. Although the decision to quit must come from the smoker themselves, knowing that you wish they would quit will begin a dialogue between you and your parent. Give your parent specific reasons why you would like them to quit: "I would love to run a marathon with you," "I care for you and want you to stay healthy," and other personal reasons for quitting will help to put your parent's smoking into perspective and remind them of things smoking doesn't allow them to do. Make yourself available to talk when your parent gets a cigarette craving or is frustrated and cranky from nicotine withdrawal. Make sure to be available particularly during occasions when a smoker would crave a cigarette, such as that first morning coffee or a coffee break at work, after a meal, or at a party. Help out with chores, cooking dinner, taking care of children, and any other tasks that may be stressful to somebody trying to quit. Help them get the types of things smokers need when they try to quit: hard candies, gum, straws or other things to chew on, and so on. Invite your parent out on excursions together that will help to take their mind off smoking, particularly during "nicotine fits," or particularly difficult days. Going for a bike ride, shopping, eating at a new restaurant, seeing a movie together, and so on, are fun activities that both of you can enjoy and will focus your parent's attention away from smoking. Forbid smoking in any part of your house, and remove everything from their home that may cause your parent to relapse: cigarettes, ash trays, matches and lighters, and so on. Try to remove the scent of smoke from your parent's home, as well. Clean any clothes, sheets, curtains, carpets and other materials that have absorbed smoke. If quitting is proving to be particularly difficult for your parent, you can suggest that they explore cigarette alternatives. Nicotine alters a smoker's brain and leads to an addiction that is difficult to shake off. Your parent may need to try one or more of the following in order to quit for good: Nicotine patches can be bought over-the-counter and come in a variety of strengths. Depending on the amount they smoke, your parent can control the amount of nicotine they take in and gradually taper down according to a suggested schedule. Nicotine gum and lozenges are readily available in pharmacies and have helped many people quit over the past two decades. Nicotine spray can be obtained with a prescription from a physician. Nicotine replacement medicines. These will continue to provide your parent with nicotine, but in gradually reduced dosages, easing the smoker through the headaches and irritability that accompany quitting. Your parent should speak to their physician about medication options. Bupropion hydrochloride, a prescribed antidepressant, also helps people to quit smoking. Suggest to your parent that they speak with a physician or therapist about the benefits and risks of using this type of medication.

Answer: Engage your abdominal muscles to raise your upper body off of the ground, stretching toward your feet. Imagine lifting your chest to the sky so you don't round your shoulders and spine. Exhale as you contract your abdominal muscles and raise your shoulders. Stop moving upwards when you feel your shoulders start to hunch forward, and hold the crunch for 2 seconds to fully engage your core. Keep your elevated and be careful not to pull on your neck or extend your chin to avoid straining your neck. Keep your legs straight and pointed upward and keep them from moving while you hold the crunch. After 2 seconds, slowly return back down to the starting position with control, keeping your abdominal muscles contracted. Imagine lowering back down one vertebra at a time in a smooth and fluid motion. Try to keep your legs from moving or swaying while you lower your shoulders back to the ground. Do not slam on the ground or fall backward or you could injure yourself. Keep your legs elevated in the starting position after you've lowered back down to the grown. To get a good abdominal workout using vertical leg crunches, you need to do at least 12 reps. Remember to exhale as you crunch and take a breath when you return to the starting position. It's okay to take a break and lower your legs before finishing up your reps.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Hydrate throughout the day. Eat a simple meal 2-3 hours before you plan on running. Set a reasonable goal. Dress to exercise. Buy running shoes.

Answer:
Your body needs time to store the water, and trying to chug a water bottle right before you leave is ineffective and uncomfortable. Aim to drink one glass of water every hour up until you set out on your run. You need to drink water to stay hydrated and energized. Aim for 8-16oz of water 1-2 hours before running. You don't need to eat a lot unless you plan on running more than 12-13 miles. A bagel with honey or jam, a granola bar and fruit, or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich will provide fuel that your body can digest quickly. Avoid slow to digest foods like thick pasta sauces, fried foods, or cheeses. Aim for a simple combination of carbohydrates (bagel, toast, granola, oatmeal), natural sugar (jelly, banana, apple, honey), and protein (peanut butter, yogurt, grilled chicken). This is especially important if you are just beginning to run regularly. Use a map or a running specific app, like MapMyRun, to plan out a route that works for you. A good start for your first few weeks is 20-30 minutes, running 2-3 miles at a time. As you progress, listen to your body -- if your muscles and joints are hurting after every run, slow down and do less mileage until you are better prepared. You should wear light, breathable clothing that doesn't trap sweat. If you are going for a short run, then a cotton shirt will be fine, but you should use synthetic athletic wear for longer runs. Your body will raise it's temperature by 10-15 degrees, so dress as if the weather is 10-15 degrees warmer. Make sure your sneakers fit by trying them out on short runs. If you get any blisters or feel numbness in your toes, you need better fitting shoes. Your heel should stay snugly in the shoe. You should have room to wiggle your toes. The balls and arches of your feet should be comfortable but not tight. There is a growing movement to run barefoot for it's supposed health benefits, but only try it if you are sure you will not step on anything dangerous.
