Article: Typically, in-text citations are indicated through the use of footnotes or endnotes. Immediately after the punctuation mark that follows the borrowed information, mark the citation with a superscript number. The number should correspond to the present number of citations used in the text. You may introduce the name of the author in the sentence, but it is not necessary.  This information is considered fact by all but a few critics.1 Doe believes this to be false.2 At the end of the page or the end of the paper, cite the author's first and last name and the name of the article. Include the author's name even if you mentioned it in the text itself. Following this information, indicate the city of publication, the name of the publisher, and the year of publication in parentheses. Immediately following this, include the page number on which the borrowed information can be found.  1. Robert Smith and Kevin Williams, Studies on the Human Condition (New York: Big Time Press, 2012), 4-14. 2. John Doe, “A New Perspective” (New York: Major Journal, 2011), 18. If you have already cited a source once, abbreviate it in any subsequent footnotes. When a citation immediately follows one from the same source, abbreviate all information except for the page number with the Latin abbreviation "Ibid." When a citation from the same source is separated by other sources, include the last name of the author, the title of the work, and the page number.  1. Robert Smith and Kevin Williams, Studies on the Human Condition (New York: Big Time Press, 2012), 4-14. 2. Ibid., 34. 3. John Doe, “A New Perspective” (New York: Major Journal, 2011), 18. 4. Robert Smith and Kevin Williams, Studies on the Human Condition, 67. If your instructor has stated that you should not use footnotes or endnotes, provide the same citation information in parentheses immediately following the borrowed information and before the closing punctuation. Include the full name of the author, the title of the work, the publication city, the name of the publisher, the date of publication, and the page number.  Doe believes this to be false (“A New Perspective” [New York: Major Journal, 2011], 18). “This idea is entirely false” (John Doe, “A New Perspective” [New York: Major Journal, 2011], 18). If a corporation is responsible for a certain source rather than an individual author, replace the author's name with the corporation name.

Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Use footnotes or endnotes. Provide a full citation in the first footnote. Abbreviate the citation in following footnotes. Include a parenthetical citation if no notes are used. Name the organization if the work has a corporate or government author.

Problem: Article: Hydrangeas are made from multiple small sections glued together, so make sure you have a fairly sizeable piece of felt to start this project. You can use multiple colors for a single flower if you want.
Summary: Select your felt. Finished.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This step only applies to single-action revolvers where you must manually pull the hammer back to cock the gun before you can fire. With your hands still on the grip, use your thumb to pull the hammer back until the second click. The first click is only the half-cocked stage used for loading the revolver. Make sure the revolver is already pointed downrange at your target before even touching the hammer. You do not want an accident discharge going in any direction but down the shooting range. There are normally two sights on a firearm. A front sight and a rear sight. The front sight is a small, fixed "blade" and the rear sight looks like a valley or a notch. To aim the revolver, place the front blade on the target, and then place the front blade in between the "valley" back sights. The front sight alone ensures that you don’t hit to the left of right of the target, and making sure that the rear sight is also in alignment ensures that you do not hit above or below the target. Once you line up the target, you may be tempted to shift your focus back on the target and away from the sights, but even small movements will have an effect on your aim. Keep your focus on the front sight even if it means the target beyond it is a tiny bit unfocused. With your grip right and the revolver pointed downrange toward the target, you can now place your dominant index finger inside the trigger guard. Touch the trigger but no not place any pressure on it. You want to use the pad of your index finger and not the crease of the first knuckle. Aiming any gun can be a slow, precise process, especially for people new to marksmanship. One of the biggest mistakes people make is to try to hold their breath as they aim and shoot. Keep breathing and stay aware of your breathing. You ideally want to squeeze the trigger at the natural pause between the end of your exhalation and the beginning of your next inhalation. You do not want to jerk your finger back on the trigger because this will surely mess up your precision aiming. Instead, gently squeeze the trigger with the pad of your index finger while keeping the rest of your grip steady and your focus on aiming. Don’t panic about the recoil of the revolver as you squeeze. Your solid, firm grip on the gun handle and your arm strength will cushion most of the recoil. Tensing up as you know the gun is about to fire is a sure way to mess up your aim as the revolver shoots. With the proper grip on the revolver, the recoil will push slightly more back than up. Keep your wrists locked and forearms tensed, as you had them for your shooting stance, and you will naturally absorb most of the recoil. However, you will definitely still need to take aim again before firing another round.

SUMMARY: Cock the revolver. Take aim. Place your finger gently on the trigger. Be aware of your breathing. Squeeze the trigger gently. Use your locked wrists and forearms to absorb the recoil.

The main reason to post while riding is to avoid being jostled around in the saddle during a particularly bumpy gait - the trot. This makes things more comfortable for the rider and is easier on the horse's back.  Once you become more experienced with the rising trot, it is also possible to change the horse's rhythm simply by posting more quickly or slowly. The horse will alter his rhythm to match with your own, thus sometimes eliminating the need for hand and leg signals. Urge your horse into a steady forward trot. Now, pay attention to the horse's strides - notice how the trot has two beats? Good. This will help you to understand how posting works.  During a trot, the horse's left hind leg and right front leg (which are diagonal to one another) move simultaneously, and vice versa. This is what riders are talking about when they refer to "diagonals" - the simultaneous movement of diagonal front and back legs. These diagonals will greatly influence your rising trot. When performed correctly, the rider will rise from his/her seat when the inside hind leg and outside front leg are moving forward and sit when the outside hind leg and inside front leg are moving forward. The reason for this is because the horse's inside hind leg is the one which propels him forward. Rising out of your seat while this leg is in motion will encourage the horse to stretch the leg further under his body, and therefore producing a more effective stride. At first, it can be difficult to tell which diagonal your horse is on. A good trick is to watch your horse's outside shoulder. You should rise out of your seat as his shoulder moves forward and sit back down as it moves back. If the movement is difficult to pinpoint, stick a bandage or piece of colored tape on the horse's shoulder. This makes the movement easier to see. Once you start posting your legs will likely be sore, but you'll gain more thigh muscles over time.

One-sentence summary --
Understand why posting is done. Understand diagonals. Realize that posting should be done using your thigh muscles, not your legs.
