Article: A plan-ahead menu does you little good if you don’t have what you need to make that night’s meal. You’ll save time and money by planning out your weekly menu first, then writing down what you need and shopping for those items. You can, of course, also add staple foods and healthy snacks to your shopping list—but do specifically list them to reduce the urge to make impulse buys. Involve kids in creating the actual shopping list and then finding each item in the store, as if it is a scavenger hunt. This may help limit the number of times you hear “I want this!” or “Why can’t we get that?” while grocery shopping. Once you have your menu and your groceries, figure out which parts of meal preparation you can do 1 or more days ahead of time. Chop produce, cube or shred cheeses, trim meats, or even prepare sauces that you can quickly reheat when needed. Every minute you spend prepping on the weekend is 1 less you have to find time for during your busy work week. You can go one step further and try batch cooking, in which you prepare the components of full meals separately, then label and refrigerate or freeze them so that you can put together healthy dinners even more quickly. A slow cooker (e.g., a Crock Pot) can be a great time saver for busy weeknights, especially if you tend to have a bit of time available in the mornings. You can prepare your ingredients, throw everything into the slow cooker, set it to cook while you’re away at work, and arrive home to find a fully-cooked dinner waiting for everyone. Most slow cookers come with a small recipe book, but you can easily find thousands of slow cooker recipes online.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Shop based on your menu once per week. Do as much prep work as you can over the weekend. Become good friends with your slow cooker.
Article: Both your right and left arms should move in sync during the breaststroke.  The same is true of your legs.  If you don’t keep your movement balanced and move both corresponding limbs at the same time, you might drift toward one side or the other and your breaststroke will not be smooth. Don’t push your arms out too early.  After bringing your legs together at the end of the kick phase, allow yourself to glide forward for a second or two.  Only then should you pull with your arms. The gym is a great place to develop your legs, arms, shoulders, and neck -- the key areas that you use during the breaststroke.  Hitting the gym will give you lots of opportunities to do weight training exercises that can help you strengthen your muscles, improve your form, and trim your swim times. Stand in front of a cable machine and place your hands on top of the bar so that they’re shoulder-width apart.  Pull the bar down to a point where your elbows are almost locked, then bring it up to your midline.  Perform three reps of 10-15 push-downs. This exercise mimics the final movement of the initial underwater pull. Grip the barbell with an underhand grip.  Place your hands shoulder-width apart.  Curl the bar toward your chest in an arc until it’s level with your shoulders.  Slowly lower the bar until your arms are straight again.  Begin without weight on the bar.  After perfecting your technique, slowly add weight in small increments until 10-12 reps is extremely difficult for you. Perform three sets of 10-12 reps. This exercise will improve the second half of your arm pull motion during the breaststroke. Support your body by balancing on your forearms.  Keep your spine straight and point the tips of your toes down.  Lower your chest and let your shoulder blades come together.  Roll your shoulders to come back up to the starting position.  Do three sets of 10 scapular pushups. This exercise will improve your shoulder strength, making the arm movements of the breaststroke easier.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Ensure your limbs are moving together. Go to the gym regularly. Do a standing double-arm triceps push down. Do a barbell biceps curl. Do some scapular push-ups.
Article: Before you even start out, you'll need money to run your real estate brokerage. Estimate your startup costs for leasing an office, buying office equipment, getting licensed, and for other expenses. You'll need startup capital as well as working capital. Startup capital is what you'll use to get your business off the ground. Working capital is what you'll use to pay for day-to-day operations. The simplest way to start your business is to use your own savings to do so. This will free you from ceding control to another partner or paying interest to a lender. However, the amount required to start your business will likely be higher than you are able to afford using your savings alone. If you don't want to take out a loan or don't qualify for one, you can bring on a partner to help you finance your startup costs. Your partner will come into the business by providing capital in exchange for an ownership share in the business. This will allow them to make business decisions (with you) and own a share of any profits. Partnerships must be structured using an official charter to effective and, in some states, legally recognized. You can also bring on a silent partner if you can find a willing investor. A silent partner contributes capital and owns part of the business, but does not make any business decisions or work. This would allow you to operate the business yourself using their money. You should put some of your own money into your business, but all of your capital doesn't need to come from your own pocket. Consider getting a loan from a local bank to help you get started. You will need good credit and an effective business plan to qualify for this type of loan. The Small Business Administration (SBA) is a great source of loans for small businesses. To qualify, you need to demonstrate an ability to repay the loan, either in assets or revenues. Your personal assets also count towards the potential collateral on your loan. The SBA may be more likely to lend to some businesses than banks are. Visit your local SBA branch or the SBA's website to get started.
