Write an article based on this "Gather a knowledgeable team. Outline the specific process. Focus on the scope of the process. Name the business process descriptively. Decide on an overall format."
article: At the beginning and throughout the process document creation process, you will need to work with a team relevant to the process you are outlining. Make sure to involve the people who carry out the process and their immediate superiors, as well as any upper-level management who need to approve changes to the process as you go. Try using meetings or informal focus groups with these people at the beginning when modeling the process. This will ensure that you don't miss any crucial steps or parts of the process. Another option is to bring in subject-matter experts from outside the business organization who can provide knowledgeable and unique input. It's important to avoid writing the BPD for the entire organization in one shot. This is about compartmentalizing smaller processes so they can be put together to form the larger document. Narrow down your focus from major, business-wide processes to an individual activity handled by a small team. Then, cut up the activity into definable processes, or tasks, and focus on only one of those.  For many assignments, you will be writing several individual process documents.  There should be one for each of the processes in a complex operation, but repeatable processes can have material duplicated from a singular document. As a general rule, it's better to make each document cover as small a process as possible. This makes the process, and the list of people who must understand it, as clear as can be. Your process is outlined by the effect that it has on the business as a whole. So, to get started, you'll need to clearly define the desired outcome of the process. From there, identify the start and end points of the process. What exactly happens to start the process and what determines when the process has ended? From here you can begin to carve out the intermediate steps, their order, and who performs each one.  Be sure to describe the impact, positive and negative, that the process has on the organization. A typical scope: This process pertains to flight record-keeping.  Unrelated records, such as the details of aviation maintenance or quality control checks, are not pertinent within the scope of this process. The name of the business process being narrowed down should be clear enough that it encapsulates exactly what is being done.  It should not be wordy, however.  If naming conventions aren't clear, there could be confusion between one BPD and another that comprise a larger process.  A poorly named business process would be Filing. A well named business process would be Flight record-keeping Your process document will need to follow a specific format so that the same format can be duplicated on other process documents. There are many formats used for business processes, and all depict their processes slightly differently. The one that you use will depend on what makes the most sense for your process.   For example, one of the most well-defined and commonly-used forms of business process modeling is simply referred to as Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). This systems uses shaped "flow objects" to indicate specific types of tasks and "connecting objects" to show the relationships between them. In addition, "swim lanes" are used to show partitions in the process, like different departments responsible for parts of the process. This notation is used frequently and is therefore suited for collaboration and standardization across an organization. However, different process call for different modeling techniques. For example, Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams are more effective for modeling complex logic processes and are more suitable for software system modeling than BPMN.

Write an article based on this "Grip the ball with your middle and index fingers. Spread out your fingers further. Tuck your thumb under the ball. Jam the ball deep into your two fingers for a tight grip. Don't overstretch your fingers."
article: The forkball is gripped between your middle and index fingers. Start by placing these fingers on the seams in the same way you would if you were throwing a two-seam fast ball. For a forkball you need a very wide grip. So once you have your fingers on the seams you need to try to spread them out even further so they go outside the seams. This will help you grip the ball more deeply between your index and middle finger than an ordinary split-fingered fast ball. With a forkball grip, most of the work is being done by the index and middle fingers. Your thumb should be bent and held under the ball. Your thumb is supporting the ball more than gripping it. The two main differences to a split-seam fastball grip are how wide you spread your fingers, and how deep into your grip you hold the ball. When you are holding the ball you will feel how the wider your grip, the further the ball will be pushed into your fingers. You want to jam the ball as deep into your grip as you can comfortably. The forkball requires an especially wide grip and as such is easier to pull off if you have long fingers. This is one of the reasons why younger players will find it very difficult to do, and it is generally seen as a pitch to learn once you are fully grown. Some major league teams even actively discourage young players learning it due to the risk of injury. A grip with fingers so far apart puts added stress on the elbow.

Write an article based on this "Determine how much space you have for each social media platform. Look at examples of strong social media profiles. Keep it short and informative. Include basic information about yourself. Add in your interests, your background, and a dash of humor. Be unique but avoid buzzwords. Tailor your profile to your audience. Re-work your bio often."
article:
Though some of these platforms may have a large word count, the most effective profiles will still be concise and to the point.  Facebook: An “About You” section, including the freeform “Write About Yourself” prompt, Work and Education, “Professional Skills” area, and “Favorite Quotations” section. There is no cap on word count. Twitter: A 160-character bio, plus space for a link and your location. LinkedIn: A headline section and a summary section. There is also a section for your resume and skills. Look up several social media profiles on several platforms that use a limited word count to their advantage.  Hillary Clinton’s Twitter profile: “Wife, mom, lawyer, women & kids advocate, FLOAR, FLOTUS, US Senator, SecState, author, dog owner, hair icon, pantsuit aficionado, glass ceiling cracker, TBD ....” In 160 characters, Clinton has managed to include factual details about herself as well as humorous details. Her profile is informative but also entertaining and unique.  A short but sweet Facebook profile: Scroll through your friends’ Facebook profiles and look for examples that avoid rambling on in their “About You” section and the “Write About Yourself” prompt. If a friend is trying to create a professional profile on Facebook (which is smart, as employers may do a Facebook search), notice if she uses appropriate content that is still interesting and personal. Ask yourself: if I didn’t already know this person, would I want to be friends with her based on their Facebook profile? A LinkedIn profile by Corporate Communications specialist: “Even though I am a PR person by trade, I’ll always be a reporter at heart. I’m incapable of pitching something I myself don’t believe in. I have a passion for uncovering unique and compelling ways that people are using a product, service, or site and revel in knowing that I can help thousands of people tell their story.” This introductory paragraph is specific, assertive, and professional. But the author also includes personal details about herself to add some personality to the introduction. Most personal profiles for social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+ only allow you to use a limited number of characters to describe yourself. So it's important to maximize your word count and KISS - Keep It Simple Sweetie. A good personal profile for a site like Twitter, with its emphasis on short, brief tweets, can almost become a postmodern work of art. Though it can be challenging to cram your persona into a very small profile, think of it like a copywriting exercise. Or an attempt at a six-word memoir. Start by making a list of your basic information, like your name, what you do (or what you’re good at), where you live, and any links or tags to other social media sites, like your blog. Remember that readers want to know what they can expect for your social media account and what value you will bring to their Newsfeed, Twitterfeed, or LinkedIn feed.  If you are creating a profile for Twitter, be sure to include any other handles for any other Twitter accounts you also own. For example, if you are creating a profile for your personal Twitter, but also run a Twitter account for your business, include a handle (@ExampleCompany) at the end of your Twitter profile. For example, a basic Twitter bio could be: “Jane Doe, writer based in California. Also tweets for ABC press @ABCPress”. How much or how little personal details you include in your profile will depend on the social media platform you are writing the bio for. Often, social media profiles work well when they have a sense of humor.  This could mean a witty descriptor, like Hillary Clinton’s “pant suit aficionado” note, or self-deprecating humor, like a writer who “is sorry/not sorry about correcting your grammar” or a student who is “addicted to caffeine in all its forms.” Facebook does not have limited space, so you can expand quite a bit on your interests and your background. If you’re creating a professional Facebook profile, it could read very similar to your LinkedIn profile or your Twitter profile. Don’t be afraid to reuse a well-written profile on another site. Twitter does have limited space, so you will want to say to most you can in the fewest words. You could keep your profile short, such as: “Jane Doe, writer based in California. Also tweets for ABC Press @ABCPress.” Or you could expand it to include personal tastes and some humor, such as: “Jane Doe, word junkie, living the dream in California. Find more of my witty (but clean) tweets @ABCPress.” Now that you have your basic information, edit it so it has some personality. But try to stay away from buzzwords, which are words that are considered overused by most readers.  LinkedIn recently put out a list of the buzzwords to avoid. The danger of using buzzwords, such as “responsible”, “creative”, or “efficient” in your profile is that you end up sounding generic or boring. Think about other terms or phrases that are more specific to who you are. For example, in the Corporate Communications LinkedIn bio, the author avoids buzzwords by expanding on her personal approach to PR: “I have a passion for uncovering unique and compelling ways that people are using a product, service, or site and revel in knowing that I can help thousands of people tell their story.” This is a more compelling sentence than: “I am a responsible, creative PR person who can get the job done.” If you’re creating a profile for a personal social media account, you could include humor, slang, and catch phrases. If you’re creating a profile for a professional social media account, you may want to be more formal and polished with your language. It’s important to tailor your bio to your audience, and think about how you want your followers or readers to view you.  For example, a Twitter bio for your personal account could be: “Jane Doe, word addict, lover of West Coast living, 24/7 sun, and tacos. Also in charge of witty tweets for ABC Press @ABCPress.” A Twitter bio for a professional page may be more formal. However, most professionals on Twitter still keep their tone pretty casual and light. For example: “Jane Doe, word enthusiast, based in California, also tweets for ABC Press @ABCPress.” As your skills, interests, and expertise evolve, so should your bio. Check it every few months to make sure it still reflects you. Revising your bio to include sharper, funnier descriptions and language can also help you get more readers and followers. Paying attention to your personal profile on social media will also show your current followers that you care about how you present yourself, and can do it well.
