In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The easiest way to prove your ownership of a house is with a title deed or grant deed that has your name on it. Deeds typically are filed in the recorder's office of the county where the property is located.  Even if you lost your personal copy of your deed after the destruction of your home or during a natural disaster, there should still be a copy of this document at the recorder's office. If the recorder's office was destroyed, contact your state government for more information on the registration of property records. Even without a deed, if you have a copy of the contract you signed when you bought the house, you may be able to use it to prove ownership. However, this document only proves that you owned the house at some point in time – it isn't definitive proof that you still own the house. As long as no one else is challenging your ownership of the property, purchase documents should be enough to prove your ownership. You may have to combine them with other documents, such as receipts for property tax payments or a homeowner's insurance policy. In most places, mobile homes are considered personal property rather than real estate. If you have the certificate of title for your mobile home, this can prove ownership of the house itself. The certificate of title for a mobile home typically won't prove any ownership rights in the land underneath the mobile home, just the structure itself. You don't have to be the record owner of a piece of real estate to pay property taxes for it. However, if you've been paying property taxes for the same house for several years, that can be evidence that you own the property.  Even if you don't have personal records, there will be records of tax payments at the county tax assessor's office. These records typically list the name of the person making the payment. Paying property taxes for a house can be used to establish ownership, even if you aren't the record owner of the property. This is known as adverse possession. However, gaining clear title to property using this method is relatively rare. Without a deed or other ownership documents, you may also be able to prove ownership of a house if you can show that you have been making mortgage payments on the property.   As with payment of property taxes, it's unlikely someone would be making mortgage payments on a house that wasn't theirs. You have additional proof of ownership if the mortgage is in your name, since the lender would have done due diligence to determine you were the rightful owner of the house before issuing the mortgage. Even if you've lost your personal records of mortgage payments, your mortgage company will still have them. Even if you no longer have a mortgage on the house, you likely still have a homeowner's insurance policy to protect your investment and limit liability losses. The insurance company has records of your policy and all payments made.  Insurance companies typically verify ownership of property before issuing a homeowner's insurance policy. Additionally, it is unlikely you would pay homeowner's insurance premiums if you didn't actually own the house. An affidavit is a legal document you can draft and sign in the presence of a notary. When you sign this document, you are swearing under penalty of perjury that you are the owner of the property. While an affidavit of ownership does have legal significance, this method should only be used as a last resort to prove ownership of a house. If you do swear out an affidavit, support that document with as much other information as you have, including any mortgage, tax, or insurance records.
Summary: Get a copy of the deed to the property. Produce copies of purchase documents. Use the certificate of title for a mobile home. Gather property tax receipts. Get copies of mortgage payment records. Provide proof of homeowner's insurance in your name. Complete an affidavit of ownership.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you start writing your summary, you want to be absolutely sure you are not plagiarizing in any way. Set aside the news article and instead, work with your list of the five Ws and H. The first paragraph of the current events summary is a summary of the events discussed in the article. Write an outline of the article, focusing on the five Ws and H.  You may choose to rearrange the five Ws and H so that your summary makes sense. When you recounted the article to someone else, you highlighted the most important parts of the article. These things will go in your outline. Now your job is to put them in an order that makes sense. The topic sentence for this paragraph is the main idea of the article. This sentence gives your reader an overview of what your summary will be about. The next few sentences are where you include your five Ws and H. Construct a logical way of telling the reader what happened. This may or may not be in the same order as the news article. Depending on your assignment, this might be three or four sentences, or it might be seven to nine sentences. Check your assignment for your length requirement. The last sentence of your paragraph should reiterate the main idea of the news article. Choose wording that is different from your topic sentence.
Summary: Set aside the article. Outline the news article. Write your topic sentence. Build upon your introduction with information about what happened. Write a closing sentence.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Improving the hygiene of pre-milking and milking conditions can significantly decrease the rate of mastitis transmission. This includes better sanitation and cleanliness in the goats' housing and in the milking area.  Goats should not be overcrowded. Every goat should have sufficient room in the barn as well as in the yard. The paths between your milking area and the goats' housing or fields should be kept clean. The paths should be free-draining and should be kept clear of feces and slurry. Do a dry wipe and a thorough washing of the udders and teats with clean, potable water. Make sure you also wash your hands before and after milking. Use teat dips and sprays to disinfect the mammary glands before milking, and keep any milking equipment you use clean and sanitary. Some preliminary studies suggest that there may be a link between mastitis outbreaks and the amount of time that goats are attached to milking units. Though this may not conclusively prevent cases of mastitis, it is worth further consideration and it may warrant minimizing the time spent hooked up to a milking unit. If any of your goats have mastitis, they should not be kept with the rest of the herd. Most sanitation and mastitis-prevention regimens recommend either isolating the affected goats from the herd or culling them to prevent recurring outbreaks.
Summary:
Improve pre-milking hygiene. Reduce the amount of time goats are milked. Identify and segregate or cull affected goats.
