INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Every owner who owns at least 20% of your business should create a personal financial statement. Financial statements contain information about your assets, such as cash, mutual funds, certificates of deposits, and real estate. They also identify all liabilities owed to lenders, creditors, and the government. Lenders will want to see your business balance sheet, profit and loss statement, and cash flow statement. If you need help creating these documents, consult with an account. Ideally, your financial statements should be audited by a certified public accountant. Ask another business owner if they would recommend their CPA, or contact your nearest accounting society to obtain a referral. Lenders want a complete picture of your business, so they will require plenty of paperwork. Gather this ahead of time so that the application process goes smoothly.

If you hope to borrow $100,000, then you should have $20,000 in cash. Make sure that you have bank records showing the necessary down payment. Your business plan lays out where your business is headed in the next few years and how you plan to get there. Lenders want to see a solid business plan before they will make a loan. Your business plan should identify your target market, marketing plan, management, and financial projections.  Some lenders want your business plan to contain specific information. Stop into the bank before applying and ask about their specific requirements. Business plans can be hard to write. In the U.S., you can get help at your nearest Small Business Development Center, which you can find at https://www.sba.gov/tools/local-assistance/sbdc. Some lenders won’t give you a loan unless you pledge assets as collateral. Collateral protects lenders since they can seize the assets if you default on your loan. Common forms of collateral include inventory, heavy equipment, accounts receivables, and your home. You should document the location and condition of the collateral. If possible, hire an appraiser to value the collateral.

SUMMARY: Create a personal financial statement. Pull together business financial documents. Collect other required information. Show you have the necessary down payment. Draft a business plan. Document any collateral.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Stick a small piece of the peeled sugar cane into your mouth to chew. Biting the fibrous inner flesh, called bagasse, will release the sweet flavor.  You can also try squeezing or muddling the stalk to release the sweet juice of the plant, but it may be difficult to do so, or to collect the resulting juice for consumption.  Once you have chewed the fibrous material and extracted all of its sweetness, spit it out and dispose of it. Try using a thin section of the peeled stalk as a skewer for fruits, meats, etc. This can impart the sweet flavor of the sugar cane into other foods.  Cut sugar cane pieces into thin sticks with a sharp point on one or both ends for optimal use as a skewer. You can leave the bark on for greater strength when skewering tougher foods. Use skewers for dessert items, like fruit kebabs or to dip strawberries in chocolate. Or freeze the skewers to more easily stick them into fish and meats for cooking or grilling the sweet flavor into proteins. Use the peeled sugar cane as a swizzle stick in any sort of beverage. This can give alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages a natural sweetness.  Try dropping a stick into unsweetened tea. You can leave it in hot or iced tea for a few minutes to extract the sweetness, or just enjoy the gradual sweetening of the stick stirred in over time. Use a sugar cane swizzle stick in a rum-based cocktail like a mojito or planter’s punch for a gentle sweetener.
Summary: Chew the fiber to extract sweetness. Use the cane as a skewer. Try the cane as a swizzle stick.

Two players serve in the "outfield" near the hoop in order to attempt rebound shots. The third defensive player stands near the shooter and attempts a "psych out." "Psych-outs" are a hallmark of BASEketball and are used to disrupt the shooter's concentration. Only one player may play "psych-out" tactics at a time; there is no double-teaming. The "psych-out" defense may use props, hollering, and all kinds of silly behavior as diversion tactics, but is not supposed to actually touch the ball or the shooter, limit his/her line of sight, or impair his/her vision (such as putting your hands in front of his/her face). Of course, a lot of play is good sportsmanship, so make sure you also don't hurt anyone's feelings! The offense can attempt a "put-back" if the shooter misses a shot. The defense can also try to rebound a missed shot using a "double play" if the defense has runners on base. If the defense rebounds the shot, the shooter and the player closest to home base are both counted out.  If the defense misses the shot during a double-play, the offense is allowed to "tip in" the missed shot for a play conversion. A valid tip in must be shot with both feet off the ground (so you'll have to jump to try one).< Any player on base is allowed to attempt a tip in. If the first tip in is missed, the shooter can also attempt a tip-in. If this shot succeeds, the shooter is awarded the base(s) s/he was originally attempting. Only two attempts at conversion may be made during a play. If no shot succeeds after two attempts, the play is called as "dead."

One-sentence summary -- Place your players. Psych-out your opponents. Rebound missed shots.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Read over your paper and look for any statements that seem long-winded or unclear. Break apart long sentences or statements into multiple sentences. Then, clarify your ideas in each sentence to help increase your word count. Add follow up statements so your ideas are specific and well rounded in the paper. For example, you may use clarifying phrases like, “In other words…” or “As noted in my previous paragraph…”. One spot in your paper where you can increase word count is your introduction and your conclusion. Read over your introduction and consider if you can add one to two more sentences to make it sound more detailed and well-rounded. Check your conclusion for any spots where an extra sentence might be needed, such as a short, powerful final sentence at the end of your conclusion to wrap up the essay. For example, you may notice that there is a long sentence in your introduction that could be broken up and then elaborated on further. Or maybe there is an image from the text that you want to describe in a bit more detail in your conclusion to wrap up the paper. Another way you can increase word count is to expand on any quotes or references you already have in your paper. Look over the quotes you have already included in the paper. Consider if you can add more of the quote or other quotes from the text to support your idea.  For example, if you have a short quote from a section of the text, add another quote that relates to it so you can flesh out your ideas more in your paper. You can also substitute your existing quotes for quotes that are longer or more relevant to your ideas. This can make your paper stronger and help you increase the word count.

SUMMARY:
Clarify your statements. Rework your introduction and conclusion. Expand on your existing quotes.
