Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Acquire any necessary permits or licenses. Choose registered dogs. Provide housing for your dogs. Ensure your dogs have space to exercise. Keep the area clean and safe. Acquire all the necessary supplies. Keep your books up to date.

Answer: Depending on where you live, you may need a permit or a kennel license, or you may need to register your company. Contact your local government to determine what the rules are in regards to dog breeding. Be sure to follow the regulations and keep track of any paperwork that proves you have complied. It’s incredibly important that you choose healthy, purebred dogs to start your breeding business. Research the breeder or organization you are planning to purchase your dogs from. Ensure the animals have been medically cleared and that you receive copies of all their veterinary and registration paperwork. Dogs that have been certified by the American Kennel Club (if you live in the U.S.) are preferable. If you’re starting with only one litter, you may choose to keep the dogs in your home. In that case, you might want to install baby gates around a certain area or dedicate a room in your home to the dogs. If you are undertaking a larger breeding business, you may want to build kennels for your dogs. Your dogs will need shelter from the elements in a space that sustains a comfortable temperature as well as safe and comfortable housing for sleeping and nursing. Dogs, especially puppies, often have a lot of energy. They will need free space to exercise, play, explore, and roam around. Ensure any areas dedicated to your dogs are securely fenced to prevent them from escaping. Grass or soil should also be provided in lieu of concrete or asphalt. If you live in a big city or don’t have a lot of space on your property, you may need to consider renting or buying a new space for your dog breeding business. To maintain your dogs’ space, you’ll need to clean up dog waste frequently and replace worn out bedding and toys. Inspect the property for potential dangers like holes under fences, toxic plants or substances, and sharp objects. Ensure the kennels or crates are in good condition and don’t present any hazards to the dogs, such as bars spaced so that a dog’s paw or head could become stuck. Ensure you have adequate ventilation and lighting, too. Dog breeders need tons of supplies to keep their dogs and pups happy and healthy, including high-quality adult and puppy dog food, a source of water, and dishes to feed and provide water for your dogs. You’ll also need bedding, a variety of toys, and grooming supplies such as nail clippers and dog shampoo. Don’t forget about puppy pads, pooper-scoopers, kennel disinfectant, and paper towels, too. You’ll need to maintain a record of expenses and profits associated with your dog breeding business. Keep all receipts from purchases such as dog food, dishes, toys, bedding, crates, or kennels. You should also keep receipts from all your visits with the veterinarian. Keep track of all dog sales and create invoices or receipts for these transactions as well.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Dig the soil 8 in (20 cm) deep. Spread a balanced fertilizer in the holes. Place the bulbs with the pointy side up. Position bulbs about 3 to 6 in (7.6 to 15.2 cm) apart. Cover the bulbs with soil. Water the soil until it is moist.

Answer: Use a trowel or shovel to make a hole for each bulb. If you are planting lots of bulbs, digging long trenches makes planting much quicker. The largest bulbs, like tulips and daffodils, need holes about 4 to 6 in (10 to 15 cm) deep. You may want to dig shallow holes for other bulbs.  Read the instructions on the bulb packets to find out how deep each bulb needs to be planted. As a general rule of thumb, the hole needs to be 2 to 3 times deeper than the height of the bulb. Bulbs kept in pots are planted the same way. However, if you plan on putting the bulbs in the ground, take them out of the pots first. Use a nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizer, such as bags marked 5-10-5. Add a sprinkle of the fertilizer, about  1 in (2.5 cm) or less, to each hole. Mix the fertilizer into the soil at the bottom before planting the bulb.  Fertilizers are listed according to the quantity of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The middle number, 10 in 5-10-5, stands for the ratio of phosphorus. A liquid fertilizer with a similar NPK composition. Bulbs are generally oval-shaped, like eggs. Rest the wider, flatter end against the soil. Leave the smaller end pointing straight up towards the soil’s surface. If you are unsure which side is the top, lay the bulb on its side. The plant will grow upwards on its own. Walk along your planting area, spreading the bulbs. Make sure they have adequate growing space on all sides. You may want to save space and improve your garden’s appearance by scattering the bulbs a little instead of planting them in a straight line.  Daffodils and tulips need about 3 to 6 in (7.6 to 15.2 cm) of space. Smaller bulbs, such as crocuses, need 2 in (5.1 cm) of space or less. Check the back of the packaging to see how much space each bulb needs. Push soil back into the hole, filling it again. Press down on the soil with a shovel to collapse any air pockets. Then, rake the soil flat and check to make sure the bulb is completely covered. Be careful to avoid stepping on the soil, since this can crush the bulbs and compact the soil. You may wish to mark the planting spots with garden signs. Water the soil immediately after planting the bulbs. Be generous, since you are unlikely to add too much water at first. Continue adding water until the soil stays moist.  You can add about 1 in (2.5 cm) of water in the fall to keep the soil moist. However, stop adding water after frost occurs in your area. You can test the soil by picking some up and rubbing it between your fingers. Moist soil clumps into a ball instead of falling apart.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Deal with your anxiety. Smile at the audience. Give a performance. Engage the audience. Talk more slowly. Have a good closing.

Answer:
Pretty much everyone gets a little anxious before they have to get up in front of people and talk. Hopefully, you're already prepared with your speech and you know how to give it. Fortunately there are some ways to make those jitters more manageable.  Rid yourself of adrenaline by doing a few jumping jacks, lifting your hands above your head, or clenching and unclenching your hands several times. Take 3 deep, slow breaths. This will clear your system and get you ready to breathe properly during the speech. Stand confidently in a relaxed and upright posture, with your feet shoulder-width apart. This will trick your brain into thinking that you're confident and make it easier to give the speech. Smile at them as they come into the room (if you're out there) or smile when you get up in front of them. This will make it seem like you're confident and ease the atmosphere both for you and for them. Smile even if you feel like hurling (especially if you feeling like hurling). This will help trick your brain into feeling confident and at ease. Speaking in public, of any kind, is all about performance. You can make your speech interesting or boring depending on the performance you give. You need to have an onstage persona that you use while you're speaking. However, you should be authentic and avoid over-acting.  Tell a story. Part of your performance is giving the speech or speaking like you're telling a story. People love stories and it will make it easier for them to connect with you, even if you're talking about something factually based. use your overarching theme or subject as the basis of the story. Why should the audience care about your topic? What's the point?  Try to have a balance between your rehearsed speech and some spontaneity. People don't want to sit there and watch you mumble through your note cards. It's a good idea to give yourself space to expand on your subject free of the note cards and to add a few side stories to give interest. Use your hands to help you make points. You don't want to be flailing about onstage, but neither do you want to be standing stock still while you talk. It's good to use controlled gestures to make points as you speak. Vary your voice while you're speaking. Your audience will be asleep in 10 seconds flat if you only speak in one long monotone. Get excited about your subject and show that in your inflections. You want to make sure your audience is in your power, which means engaging them in the material no matter what it happens to be. This comes down to being an interesting speaker more than it comes down to an interesting topic.  Look at your audience. Mentally split your room up into sections and make eye contact with one person in each section on a rotational basis. If you have time, ask your audience questions during your speech. You could open up each different section of your speech with questions that people can answer before you show them your information. It will make them feel as if they are part of your speech. Keep in mind that this could be distracting, though, so you may want to stick with rhetorical questions. One of the things people fail most frequently in while trying to speak in public is by talking too fast. Your normal conversational speed is a lot faster than the speed that you'll be using for your speech. If you feel you're going too slow, you're probably going just right.  Take a drink of water if you find yourself whipping through your speech. It will help give your audience a second to catch up and it will let you take a moment to slow down. If you do have a friend or family member in the audience, arrange a signal with them so they can let you know if you're going too fast. Glance their way occasionally throughout your speech so that you know you're on track. People remember the beginning and the ending of a speech, they rarely remember the middle bits. Because of this you want to make sure that you have an ending that they will remember.  Make sure that your audience knows why this subject is important and why they should have this information. If you can, end with a call to action. For example: if you're giving a speech about the importance of art classes in schools, end by giving your audience something that they can do about the fact that art electives are being cut. End with a story that illustrates your main point. Again, people like stories. Give a story of a way this information benefited someone, or the dangers of not having this information, or how it specifically relates to your audience (people are more interested when things are about them).
