Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Don't store coffee in a refrigerator. Avoid grinding your coffee in advance, if possible. Buy small amounts of coffee. Buy valve-sealed bags rather than vacuum-sealed bags.

Answer: The refrigerator can potentially expose roasted coffee to undesirable conditions. The fridge is a moist place, so the beans or grounds are likely to come into contact with moisture. It can also introduce unwanted smells into coffee. If you are going to use the coffee you have within a few weeks, keep it at room temperature instead of putting it in the fridge. As soon as coffee is ground, it begins deteriorating very quickly when exposed to air. Pre-ground coffee therefore tastes and smells much staler and less vibrant than coffee ground freshly before brewing. If you are interested in storing your coffee to achieve optimal flavor, it's a good idea to invest in a coffee grinder so that you can grind coffee beans just before brewing. Aim to purchase your coffee in small quantities that will last you a week or 2. Buying as small amounts as possible will ensure that your coffee is fresh when you brew it. Having to store large amounts of coffee will most likely lead to stale coffee, no matter how well you store it. You can get fresher coffee in a valve-sealed bags than a vacuum-sealed bag. In general, coffee in valve-sealed bags is put into its packaging right after it has been roasted, while it takes a few days for vacuum-sealed coffee to get packaged. Coffee off-gasses for 48 hours after roasting, so coffee in a vacuum-sealed bag has to sit outside of packaging for 2 days before it can be vacuum-packaged. However, coffee can be put directly into valve-sealed bags because the valve on the bag allows the gasses to escape.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Know your venue. Pay attention to the competition. Enhance the perceived value to increase the price.

Answer: Consider the venue you'll be selling at and the clientele you plan to sell to. The price of your items should reflect these factors accordingly.  If you plan on selling your work at a craft fair, research the customers who usually attend the fair. Customers at a school or church craft fair usually have a lower budget than those attending boutique fairs or corporate fundraisers. If you only sell online or in a store, consider the type of items you embroider and the way you market them. Unique embroidered clothing sold in a boutique would sell for a higher price than clothing sold with a mass-produced embroidered logo via a small website. You can lower the price according to venue and clientele by either lowering your labor wage, lowering the profit margin percentage, or using cheaper materials. Prices can be raised by increasing your labor wage, increasing your profit, or using more expensive materials. The prices you sell your embroidery for should be within the same range as your competitors. Alter your prices accordingly if this is not the case.  If your prices are too high, you will obviously lose business to your competitors. If your prices are too low, customers may perceive your product to be less valuable or of a lower quality, and you may still lose business to your competitors. If you want to convince customers to buy from you at a slightly higher price than a competitor will offer, you need to offer your customers something that makes them believe your product is more valuable.  Design plays into this a lot. If your designs are more beautiful and more unique than the competition's, they can be viewed as more valuable. Customer service is another aspect to consider. If you put exceptional effort into making your customers happy or if you are willing to customize your work, customers may determine that shopping with you is a more valuable experience overall than shopping with someone else.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get a cotton ball or pad. Dab the cotton ball or pad in rubbing alcohol. Apply the rubbing alcohol in small, circular motions. Rinse your skin with warm water.

Answer: Look for thin, absorbent cotton balls or pads at your local drugstore. Do not use tissue or toilet paper, as it is not absorbent enough. You risk getting iodine stains on your fingers or hands when you try to remove it from your skin. Look for rubbing alcohol that is made with at least 70-90% isopropyl alcohol. Pour 1⁄4 teaspoon (1.2 ml) rubbing alcohol onto the cotton ball or pad. You can get rubbing alcohol at your local drugstore or online. If you are removing iodine stains next to a healing cut or wound, be careful not to rub the pad over this area. Do not scrub at your skin. Simply spread the rubbing alcohol lightly over the area to remove the stains. Once you have removed the iodine stains, place the area under warm running water to rinse it off. Apply the rubbing alcohol as needed to your skin to remove the iodine stains.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get the basic structure down. Write a boilerplate underneath the body of your release. Add your contact information. If possible, include a link to an online copy of the same release. Signal the end of the press release with three # (hash) symbols.

Answer:
All right, now that you've got the meat of it together, how do you put it onto paper? Well, for starters, cut it to length. It should be a page long at most, if that. No one's going to waste time on 5 paragraphs unless you're covering WWIII. Here's what you need (some of which we've already covered):   FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE should go at the top of the page, on the left margin. If the release is embargoed, put "EMBARGOED UNTIL..." with the date you want the story released. A release with no release date is presumed to be for immediate release.  The headline, usually in bold, should be centered below that. If you'd like, put a subhead in italics (briefly elaborating the headline).   First paragraph: most important information. May be quite news-like in that, it starts with a date or where the news is coming from.  Second (and probable third) paragraph:  secondary information. Should include quotes and facts.  Boilerplate information: more on your company. Who are you, really? What achievements do you have? What's your mission?  Contact information: more on the writer (probably you!). If you grab someone's interest, they'll want to be able to find out more!  Multimedia: in today's day and age, there's always some Twitter handle to be had. That means it's time to include information about your company. When a journalist picks up your press release for a story, he or she would logically have to mention the company in the news article. Journalists can then get the company information from this section.  The title for this section should be "About [XYZ_COMPANY]." After the title, use a paragraph or two to describe your company with 5 or 6 lines each. The text must describe your company, its core business and the business policy. Many businesses already have professionally written brochures, presentations, business plans, etc. That introductory text can be put here. At the end of this section, point to your website. The link should be the exact and complete URL without any embedding so that, even if this page is printed, the link will be printed as it is. For example: http://www.example.com, not Click here to visit the website. Companies which maintain a separate media page on their websites must point to that URL here. A media page typically has contact information and press kits. If your press release is really newsworthy, journalists would surely like more information or would like to interview key people associated with it. If you are comfortable with the idea of letting your key people be contacted directly by media, you can provide their contact details on the press release page itself. For example, in the case of an innovation, you can provide the contact information of your engineering or research team for the media.  If not, you must provide the details of your media/PR department in the "Contact" section. If you do not have dedicated team for this function, you must appoint somebody who will act as a link between the media and your people. The contact details must be limited and specific only to the current press release. The contact details must include:  The company's official name Media department's official name and contact person Office address Telephone and fax numbers with proper country/city codes and extension numbers Mobile phone number (optional) Times of availability Email addresses Website address It's good practice to keep a log of all of your press releases housed on your own website. This can make providing such a link easier to produce, as well as keeping a record for historical purposes. Center these directly underneath the last line of the release. This is a journalistic standard. It may look like you're over-tweeting, but you're not. This is how it's done.
