Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check the cost of your one-time formation fee. Consider annual filing reports. Calculate annual filing fees.

Answer: You may want to incorporate in a state that has a lower filing fee to help keep your costs down. Your incorporation fee is a one-time filing fee that you pay to your state’s secretary of state office. Prices range anywhere from $50 to $455. Because this fee is only assessed once, many people don’t consider it a significant factor when considering the longevity of their company.  Arkansas, Colorado, Hawaii, Iowa, Oklahoma and Mississippi have the lowest incorporation fees at $50. Connecticut has the highest formation fees at $455. Most states require you to annually submit a one-page filing report to the secretary of state's office. Failure to submit this report in a timely manner can result in both monetary penalties (which differ by state), as well as dissolution of the corporation.   Ohio and Alabama are the only two states that currently don’t require corporations to file any type of annual report.  Check your state’s respective secretary of state office website for more information regarding filing procedures, due dates, penalties, and notices of pending dissolution. Along with annual filings, some states require corporations to pay an annual filing fee. Annual filing fees range in price from $9 (New York) to $325 (Nevada) or more. Visit each state’s secretary of state’s office website to compare filing fees.  Filing fees for some of the more popular incorporation states are: Delaware $225 for corporations; Wyoming $52; South Dakota $50; and California $21. More information regarding filing procedures, due dates, penalties, and notices of pending dissolution can be found on the website of each state’s respective secretary of state's office.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Blend the beans. Use a food processor. Try an immersion blender.

Answer: Measure out a quarter of your beans and place them into the blender pitcher. Set your blender to the grind or low setting. Put on the lid and pulse the beans in two-second pulses for about 10 seconds. Add the next quarter of beans and repeat. Continue until you have the right quantity of coffee and the right consistency, about a minute.  When you're done grinding, wash the blender thoroughly to remove the coffee aroma. A blender is ideal for grinding coffee in a pinch, but you won’t get a consistent or fine grind. A blender is great for achieving a coarse grind. Pulse the beans only in short bursts to prevent the blades from heating up and cooking the beans. Measure your coffee beans and transfer them to the food processor. Grind the beans using five-second pulses for 10 to 20 seconds. Check the consistency of the grind, and continue processing the beans in short spurts until you have the consistency you want.  Disassemble and wash the food processor when you're finished, otherwise, the coffee smell will linger. Like a blender, a food processor will only give you a coarse and uneven grind, but the coffee will still be drinkable. Place the beans into a tall and narrow container. Insert the blender into the container and cover the top with your hand to prevent the beans from flying out. Blend the beans for 20 to 30 seconds. Check the grind and continue processing in 10-second spurts until you achieve the right grind. Rinse and wash the immersion blender and container right away to remove the coffee oils and scent.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Recognize different serviette sizes. Launder cloth serviettes. Starch the serviettes. Press the serviettes dry.

Answer: Serviettes come in a variety of sizes for different meals and functions. Aside from a few specific napkin types, serviettes are almost always perfect squares. Cocktail napkins are generally too small to fold, but most other napkins will be large enough for most fancy serviette folds.  Cocktail napkins are usually six to 9 inches square (15 to 23 cm).  Tea, luncheon, and hors d’oeuvre napkins are between 12 and 16 inches square (30 to 41 cm). Lunch, buffet, and informal dinner napkins range from 18 to 24 inches square (46 to 61 cm).  Serviettes for formal or multiple course meals generally range between 22 and 26 inches square (56 to 66 cm). Wash your serviettes in the washing machine or by hand with a mild detergent. When they are clean, wring out your serviettes, but don’t worry about drying them.  Do not use fabric softener on serviettes you’re going to starch. Don’t worry about laundering and starching your serviettes if you are using disposable paper napkins. Dissolve two tablespoons of laundry starch in some cold water. Pour two pints (946 ml) of freshly boiled water into a clean sink, laundry tub, or large bowl. Add an additional two pints of cold water and mix in the dissolved starch. Stir to combine.  Soak each serviette in the starchy water, making sure to saturate each one. Wring out the serviettes to remove as much excess water as possible. Hang the serviettes to dry, but remove them from the line when they are still a little damp. Open your ironing board and preheat your iron. Use the proper setting based on your serviette fabric. When the serviettes are still slightly damp, press each one individually to remove all creases and wrinkles. Store flat until you are ready to fold them.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make sure your jeans fit properly. Choose jeans which fit well in the waist. Avoid jeans with holes or stains. Choose dark jeans over lighter colors if you have them. Go with a classic cut, such as boot-cut or straight, for versatility. Wear a colored jean for a bold, stylish look.

Answer:
Choose a pair of jeans that flatters your figure and fits your body. Avoid jeans that are too snug in the hips and thighs. For a dressy look, you should also avoid jeans that are loose and baggy. Make sure your jeans rise high enough in the waist to provide coverage when you sit down. Low-rise jeans usually look more youthful and casual than other styles, so opt for a medium or high rise for a dressier appearance. Distressed jeans are popular, but they give off an extremely casual vibe. If you're trying to dress up, make sure your jeans don't have holes and are free from stains. You can still dress up light to medium wash jeans, but darker shades of denim look nicer and more formal than lighter shades. Dark wash jeans are also the most appropriate for casual business occasions. In addition to dark blues, you could also choose black jeans and dark gray jeans. A skinny jean may work under some circumstances, but they can look more rock-star than dressy. Boot-cut or straight-leg jeans more closely resemble trousers, and they will work for nearly anything from a fun night out with friends to a casual meeting with a new client. Black or white denim can be dressed up with relative ease. You might also be able to create a dressy look by pairing a brightly-colored denim with a blouse in a coordinating color or pattern.
