Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Formalize your business. Bring in the talent. Get out there and listen to live music, but listen with a critical ear. Meet the press. Meet the engineers. Visit the music and record stores. Get to know the agents.

Answer: Set up the appropriate business entity for your label so that you can operate legally, and protect yourself as well. You have several options, which may be called different things in different countries, but are functionally the same:  Sole proprietorship. This is the one where you do it all. A sole proprietorship is easy to start, easy to stop, and easy to maintain. You may have consultants or friends who help you out with the many things that need to be done, but at the end of the day, it's all yours. That includes all the profits, and all the liabilities. It offers little incentive for investors, very little protection for you and should your business fail, any business debts will come out of your pocket. If you are planning on making your label a real business, or want to hire people as you grow, this is not the best option. Limited Liability Corporation (LLC). An LLC is great for a small business. You have the ability to add people to the team as you grow, and it offers personal liability protection should the business fail. It also provides for relatively easy and flexible control over finances, legal, and tax issues. If you plan on seeking investors, or are international in scope, this is not a good option. Corporation (You, Inc.). If you are planning to make this a major business venture, are going to be seeking investors, and who like a formal structure, this is the way to go. As with LLCs, you are protected from liability for business losses. You can issue shares of stock, raise investment capital, and have decades of legal precedents to call on when necessary. There are strict rules of organization, and your accountant—as well as your attorney—will be kept busy with taxes, fees, reports, and filings. If you are the casual, laid-back type, this is not the best option for you unless you are ready to pick up the pace. With your plan in place, your business in order, licenses and permits applied for and granted, and your production art created and approved, and (hopefully) some investment capital to get you rolling, it's time to get to work! Watch the audience and see how they react to the band. If they are up on their feet from the start, and swooning over the band, you might be on to something!  Approach the band and talk with them. Find out who they are, how long they've been together, have they released any music, and what their plans are for the future. Most importantly, find out if they've been signed to a label already. That may not be a show-stopper, but for starting a record label, you might want to pick a band that's not already signed! Your town is loaded with writers who will help you get the word out, but they have to know you. Search for them in the local papers, or local music blogs, and make contact. Invite them to lunch, or to your studio (or to the studio you like to use), and keep in touch with them. Find the local recording studios in your area, and visit them. Some may be extravagant, high-end studios, and many will be modest one- or two-room affairs, with varying equipment standards. While that is certainly something to consider, more important is the quality of music that comes out of their speakers.  Get to know the engineers, and talk to them about their recording philosophy, how they relate to bands, and what irks them. This is good to know if, for example, you have a rap artist you think will be a hit, and the engineer absolutely hates rap. Ask them to play some of their favorite cuts, and listen carefully. To be really thorough, ask them for a CD of some of their work so that you can also listen on your home speakers. Though it's rare, what sounds mind-blowing in a million-dollar studio might sound like it was recorded in the back seat of a Gremlin when taken out of the studio environment. Big or small, they are there to sell recordings. When you get to know them, they may well be happy to sell your recordings as well. It's a small venue in the grand scheme of things, but when you're getting started, there's no venue that's too small. These are the people who have their fingers on the pulse of the local music industry. The bands that have signed an agent have passed a certain threshold of legitimacy, simply by being professional enough to hire an agent. If your services show well to agents and promoters, the next time one of their bands says, "Hey (name), I think we're ready to record an album," That person will say, "I know just the place!"

Answer: One of the best ways of ensuring that your dog will not engage in destructive or otherwise poor behavior when she is by herself is to assign her appropriate tasks to do while you are away. Doing so will ensure that your dog is fulfilling her natural desire to remain active while at the same time engaging in healthy, non-destructive activities. A great way to simulate an environment in which your dog can hunt for food is by making use of food puzzle toys. These are containers that hold food and treats but do not provide your dog easy access to their food. Working for her food in this manner will fulfill her innate desire to hunt for food, simulating an environment similar to what wild dogs experience when scavenging for food.  Food puzzle toys make your dog work for food in ways that are healthy for your dog because of the skills (e.g. pawing, nibbling, rolling) required to access the food. In addition, these toys also have a calming effect on your dog by encouraging her to engage in chewing and licking.  Allow your dog time to learn to play with food puzzle toys. Gradually increase the amount of effort required to access the food from her food puzzle toys. If your dog is used to being served food in a bowl, she will take some time to learn to enjoy playing with food puzzle toys. Be patient with her as she learns this skill and do not force her to do too much too soon.  For detailed instructions on how to stuff a particular brand of food puzzle toy known as a KONG food puzzle, visit this website. Make your dog hunt for her meals around the house by hiding treats and food puzzle toys around the house. The ASPCA suggests that you can hide 'one of your dog's meals right before you leave her home alone, and she'll have great fun hunting her chow while you're away.' You can vary this activity by doing the same in your yard so that your dog can hunt for food both inside the house and outside in the yard. Most dogs love playing the game of looking for pieces of kibble in the grass. All dogs have an innate need to chew. The ASPCA observes that chewing helps dogs keep their jaws strong and teeth clean and that both wild and domestic dogs spend hours chewing.  Providing your dog chew time with acceptable items to chew on will not only help her in maintaining a strong jaw and keeping her teeth clean but will also prevent her from chewing on items around the house that you do not want your dog to chew.

Answer: . This is the flammable material that you will burn to get the fire going. You can use thin bark, dry leaves, newspaper, cardboard, pine needles – anything that will catch fire quickly and ignite the wood. Think of it as "fuse" that leads to your bed of dry twigs and leaves. Set aside plenty of tinder so that you can light the fire in several spots.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Do a bunny hop to prepare for more complex tricks. Do a manual to ride just on the back wheel of your scooter. Try a tire tap to bounce on the back of your scooter. Perform a barspin to learn the basic maneuver for handlebar tricks.

Answer:
Take your scooter to where the ground is wide and flat. Ride your scooter at a comfortable speed and when you feel ready, bend your knees and jump into the air. As you jump, pull the handlebars upward to draw the scooter deck up with you. Keep bending your knees as you land back on the ground and push the handlebars downward slightly.  You don’t need any ramps or hills to do a bunny hop. Mastering the bunny hop will help you prepare to learn more complex tricks. Put 1 foot on the back of your scooter deck and then kick off with your other foot. Gently lift the handlebars up so that the front wheel is airborne while keeping your other foot off the scooter deck and just above the ground. Use your hands to steer the scooter and swing your foot that’s not on the deck to help keep yourself balanced. A manual is a great way to practice your balance and to learn a transition to use between different tricks. Ride your scooter forward and then place 1 foot down on the brake. Position your other foot so that it rests on the deck just in front of the brake. Pull the handlebars up to lift the front wheel and then bounce on the brake so that your scooter jumps slightly with only the back wheel touching the ground. The tire tap also make a good transition between more complicated tricks. Take your right hand off the handlebars and keep your left hand on. Then continue holding onto the handlebars with your left hand while you spin them as far as you comfortably can. When you can’t spin the handlebars any further, bring your right hand under your left arm and grab the handlebars with your right hand. Remove your left hand from the handlebars and then complete the rotation with your right hand. Once you have rotated the handlebars by 360°, return your left hand to the handlebars.  You can start with either your left or right hand, as long as you complete the barspin with your opposite hand. The basic process is the same. When you first start, practice barspins while you are stationary by standing with 1 foot on the brake and lifting the front of the scooter off the ground. If you want to perform a barspin while you’re riding, do a bunny hop as high as you can and complete the barspin while you’re in the air.
