INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Make sure the cloth is not cool or cold. Wipe its ear area and paws several times to help bring its body temperature down. Make sure you also wipe your dog's chest and abdomen to help cool it down. Check that the bath water is not ice cold, but a bit colder than lukewarm. Place your dog in the bath and use a cloth or sponge to dab water on it. Apply water to its ears, paws, chest, and abdomen. You do not need to use soap in the bath, as you are not trying to clean your pup, just cool it down. After you wipe down your dog or give it a bath, make sure you dry it well so it does not get too cold. Towel dry your dog or use a hair dryer on a low setting to dry your pup. Wipe or bath your dog twice a day to try to bring its fever down. Make sure you dry it well each time.

SUMMARY: Wipe your dog's ears and paws with a tepid, wet cloth. Give your dog a tepid bath. Dry your dog well so it does not catch a chill.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Make the different people in the story feel different. If you "act" them differently, then you can skip the annoying "blank said" parts of the story. You can also make the story feel more immersive. Play with accents, speech patterns, and voices for different people in the story. You can add great comedic value by being silly or stereotyping with the voices. For example, characterize your father's voice with an overly deep, gruff sound and add in occasional extras to the dialogue like "[Relevant part of the story.] Also, I am going out to the garage to build a deck. Or part of a deck. Maybe I will just watch a television series where they build a deck." Match the way your voice sounds to how you want the story to feel at that point. Change your pitch, tone, and volume to make stories seem calm or exciting, depending on where you are in the story. Accelerate your speed and slightly increase volume as you build toward the conclusion. Slow down when you say the conclusion. You should also experiment with dramatic pauses. A moment of silence and a look can add a lot to someone's experience of a story. If you want to really become a great storyteller, you have to master your ability to create and change facial expressions to match what you're saying. Your face should be able to basically act out the entire story. If you really want to learn from the master, watch a lot of Youtube videos of John Stewart or Martin Freeman. Remember, facial expressions come in more than 3 flavors. You can convey really complex emotions by using very specific facial expressions. Talking with your hands can make you go from seeming like a really stiff, boring story teller to someone who commands the room with a story. Hands convey emotions. Hands keep our audience focused. Hands create a feeling of action. If you don't use your body in any other way, at least start talking with your hands when you tell a story. Of course, you do not want to go over the top. Do not hit anyone in the face or knock over your drink. Or knock your drink into your face. If you can, move your whole body to act out the story. You don't have to reenact every motion, but use your body at key points in the story to direct the listener's attention to that point. You can also use this to great comedic effect, of course. Some stock gestures, such as the Groucho Marx eyebrow lift or the Rodney Dangerfield collar tug, can add extra silliness to a story (Conan O'Brien and Robin Williams frequently used stock gestures).

SUMMARY: Create character. Make your storytelling "big" or "small". Control your face. Talk with your hands. Act out the story.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: An individual's experiences, both recent and distant, can also make one more likely to attempt suicide. The death of a loved one, the loss of a job, a serious illness (especially involving chronic pain), bullying, and other highly stressful life events can act as triggers for suicide and put someone at greater risk. Of particular concern is whether a person has tried to commit suicide before. Someone who has previously attempted suicide is likely to try again. In fact, one-fifth of the people who die by suicide have made a previous attempt. A history of physical or sexual abuse also puts one at a higher risk of suicide. The presence of an underlying mental health disorder, such as bipolar disorder, major depression, or schizophrenia, or a history of such disorders, is a major risk factor. In fact, 90 percent of suicide cases are linked to depression or another mental illness, and 66 percent of people who think seriously about suicide have a mental disorder of some kind. Disorders characterized by anxiety or agitation (e.g., post-traumatic stress disorder) and poor impulse-control (e.g., bipolar disorder, conduct disorders, substance disorders) are the most likely risk factors for making a suicide plan and a suicide attempt. The symptoms of mental illnesses that raise the risk of suicide include intense anxiety, panic attacks, desperation, hopelessness, feeling that one is a burden, loss of interest and pleasure, and delusional thinking. While the statistical relationship between suicide and depression is a complicated one, the majority of people who die from a suicide attempt have major depression. People with more than one mental health problem are at especially high risk of suicide. Having two mental disorders nearly doubles the risk of suicide, and three nearly triples the risk of suicide when compared to people who endure one mental disorder. Scientists aren't certain yet whether the central cause is the environment, heredity, or a combination of both, but suicide does seem to run in families. At least some research suggests there is a genetic cause for this relationship, so even if someone was not raised by their biological parents, this may be a risk factor. Environmental influences in one's family life also may play a role. While anyone can become suicidal, statistically speaking, some social groups have higher rates of suicide than others. If someone you know may be at risk, consider the following: Males are more likely to commit suicide. For every age group and ethnicity, the rate of suicide for males is quadruple the rate for females. In fact, men account for 79% of all suicides. Regardless of gender, LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) individuals are four times more likely to commit suicide. Older people are more likely to commit suicide than young people. People between the ages of 45 and 59 have the highest suicide rate, and people older than 74 years have the second highest rate of suicide. Native Americans and Caucasians (whites) are also statistically more likely to commit suicide than other ethnic groups. These trends don't mean you shouldn't be worried about someone who is not in one of these high risk groups. If the person you are concerned about displays signs of being suicidal, regardless of their gender or age, take their situation seriously. However, if someone is part of one of these groups, their risk may be higher.

SUMMARY:
Consider life history and current circumstances. Consider the individual's mental health. Investigate any family history of suicide. Consider the demographics of suicide.
