Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Rinse the beans. Place the beans in a pot of cold water. Boil the water. Let stand. Drain and rinse.

Answer: Place the black-eyed peas in a colander and rinse them with cool running water. Rinsing the black-eyed peas removes dirt and stray hulls. Make sure that the water covers the black-eyed peas completely, but do not fill the pot so high that it will boil over when heated. Cover with the lid of the pot. Heat the beans and water over medium-high heat until the water reaches a steady boil. Continue boiling for 2 to 3 minutes.  Most beans are soaked in cold water for several hours, but black-eyed peas can be soaked in hot water to reduce the amount of time it takes.  It is not essential to soak your black-eyed peas, so this step can be skipped if you are short on time. Soaking the beans causes them to become softer, however, and it also helps to reduce the risk of digestive upset. Allow the black-eyed peas to sit in the warm water for 60 to 90 minutes. Pour the contents of the pot through a colander to remove the stale water. Rinse the black-eyed peas once more with cool water.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pin the fabric pieces together as indicated by the pattern’s instructions. Sew along the pinned edges. Hem the raw edges if desired. Attach Velcro to the clothing for closures if needed. Repeat for the other outfit components you want to sew.

Answer: To get the fabric pieces you have cut out ready for sewing, pin them together as indicated by your sewing pattern. Place 1 pin about every 2 inches (5.1 cm). Insert the pins going perpendicular to the edges of the fabric. This will make it easier to remove them before sewing over each area. The right sides (print or outer sides) of the fabric pieces should be facing each other to ensure that the seams will be hidden on the inside of the clothing. Next, sew a straight stitch along the pinned areas of the fabric pieces. Place the stitch so that it is about 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) from the raw edge of the fabric. This will be plenty of seam allowance for a piece of doll clothing. Make sure to check your pattern for any special sewing instructions. It may recommend a special type of stitch or stitch setting to ensure that you get the best results. To prevent the fabric from fraying, it is a good idea to sew a hem along any remaining raw edges. However, this is not always necessary and your pattern may not require a hem. If you want to sew a hem even if it is not part of the pattern, then fold the edges of the fabric inward by 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) so that the raw edge is hidden. Then, sew a straight stitch along the edges of the folded fabric. Check your pattern to see if hemming the raw edges of your fabric is recommended. If you want to add closures to any of your clothing pieces, then Velcro is a great option. Get some small 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) pieces of self-stick Velcro and apply them to the open edges of your Barbie’s clothing as needed.  For example, you could place interlocking Velcro pieces on either side of the opening for a dress, jacket, top, or on the waistband of a pair of pants. Make sure that your place the pieces so that they will line up and secure properly. After you finish making 1 piece of Barbie clothing, repeat the process with a different pattern to create another piece. Keep making Barbie clothing pieces until you have completed your doll’s outfit, and then try it on her!  Make a dress with a coordinating jacket or shrug to wear to a special event. Sew a sweatshirt with a pair of jeans for a warm, fall look. Create a tank top and shorts or a miniskirt for a cute hot weather outfit.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Collect the male dog's semen. Have the semen evaluated. Chill or freeze semen that it not used immediately.

Answer: Once the male dog has been deemed acceptable for breeding his semen will need to be collected. Male dogs will become aroused in the presence of a female dog in heat, which is the prime time her body emits pheromones or chemicals that excite the males. When he attempts to mount, or breed, with the female the penis is redirected into an artificial vagina into which he ejaculates.  In some cases a female at the correct stage of heat is not available. Frozen cotton swabs that were wiped in the vagina of a female dog at the peak of heat can be thawed and swiped on the tail end of any dog, which causes the male dog to respond. In some cases semen can be collected and stored before a dog dies to be made available after his death; in others injury may make it impossible for a male dog to breed naturally yet he may still be able to produce semen. After the semen is collected, the sperm cells in it will be examined under a microscope to make sure they are normal. This means that there will be sufficient numbers, shape, and activity. Chilled semen is used within 24 hours or else it will need to be frozen. Semen is stored in liquid nitrogen containers at subzero temperatures. This way semen can be used years later. The best success rate comes from use of fresh semen. With chilled semen the success rate drops to 59-80% and with frozen it falls to 52-60%.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Note what type of ownership policies are in place. Name your board members. Introduce the key management members. Present the strengths of each individual in the management team. Describe the hiring process. Name any outside consultants or advisors you will be hiring. Summarize your management team's abilities. Describe relationships between management, ownership, and employees.

Answer:
Describe your company's ownership in clear terms. You should distinguish if it is a public, private, or non-profit organization. Furthermore, if there are multiple owners or investors, you may need to indicate how authority, liability, and stock are distributed. For example, ownership might be divided in a partnership agreement or to holders of stock in the company. If your business has a board, you should clearly identify its members. Write a brief summary of their leadership capabilities, past experiences, strengths, and weaknesses. Small private business will probably not have a board of directors. You do not need to include this section if you do not have a board. Include a copy of board policies, including election policies, term length, responsibility, authority, and conflict resolution. This information should already be stated in your operating agreement or other founding documents. Present each member's qualifications and experience. In addition to your owners and board members, this may include investors, executives, managers, important employees and staff, and entrepreneurs. Layout the background of these members, along with their characteristics and how each will contribute to the success of the business. Describe how these qualities are valuable to the positions that each manager holds. Include attributes such as motivational skills, financial talents, and business proficiency.  List past positions and duties of each member that apply to their current management obligations. Explain how these obligations highlight applicable skills and strengthen the management positions. Highlight all relevant educational backgrounds for each of the managers. Explain how their training will benefit the company. Only include the education that is relevant to the positions that they currently hold. If you are the only employee in your business, be sure to include your own experience and strengths. Explain the basis on which new employees will be hired. Mention what kind of qualifications and experience is needed for each role.This is especially important if you have not hired any managers yet. Include the training process and any incentive or reward programs you have implemented. A description of the company's benefits program can also be added. These are the people that you may contact for marketing, personnel advice, and financial knowledge. For example, your business might hire:  Lawyers. Accountants. Insurance brokers. Consultants. Write a short summary of why this is a successful team. At the end of the management plan, you should specifically state why this team will ensure success for the business. Clearly identify how this combination of managers within this particular business model will help your business in the coming years. This should tie up all the various points of your plan. For example, “Our team, with its diverse array of skills, have a combined forty years of experience in this field. With our coordinated democratic structure, they can work together effectively to produce results. With this team, we are confident that our business will become profitable in two years.” A key aspect of your management operations will be interactions between management levels and between management/owners and employees. Make clear the authorities, responsibilities, and roles of each level for each aspect of operations. Include processes for shared decision-making and collaboration, along with any required meetings or lines of communication. Work with each level to make sure everyone is on the same page when it comes to resolving disputes and sharing power.
