Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide which region of Florida you would like to live in. Decide what type of housing you'd prefer. Look into the cost of housing in an area you'd like to live in. Find a house in the area you'd like to live.

Answer: Aside from basic necessities which are present throughout most regions (e.g., area schools, jobs, hospitals), Florida is a huge and diverse state. If you don't have your mind set on a specific city, then it helps to understand that there are five distinct regions of the state, one of which might be more attractive to you than the others. The Florida Panhandle: This is home to the state capital of Tallahassee and is known for its beautiful Gulf Coast beaches. Since Tallahassee is only 30 miles (48km) from the Georgia border, it is known for its Southern charm and friendly people. Northern Florida: This is home to the major cities of Gainesville and Jacksonville. It is known for its culturally Southern atmosphere and historic landmarks. Central Florida: This is home to Disney World, SeaWorld, and the Kennedy Space Center. Aside from the major tourist attractions, there are dozens of quaint small towns dotted with lakes in the region worth considering. Southern Florida: This is the largest metropolitan area of the state and is home to the Everglades, Miami, West Palm Beach, and Key West. Southwest Florida: This is home to Tampa, St. Petersburg, Naples, Sarasota and Ft. Myers. It is known for its museums, arts and theater, as well as its beautiful beaches. People who move to Floridaespecially if they've reached middle agetypically either purchase or rent a home. While renting a home may appear cheaper at first, purchasing a house will be a sounder financial decision if you're planning to live there full-time for many years. On the other hand, if you're planning to have a Florida winter vacation home, it will be more worth your time and money to rent a house 4 or months out of the year. Due to its appeal to retirees and snowbirds, Florida real estate can be pricey. Before moving, do a little online research and find which area of Florida you'll be able to afford a house in. For example, the median home price in Miami is over $300,000 USD, while the median home price in the Panhandle is under $140,000 USD. In addition to knowing average housing costs, it will benefit you to figure out a reasonable housing budget. Once you've chosen a location to live, you'll need to find a specific house to live in. Reach out to a real estate agency based in the city or county you'd like to live in. Explain that you're moving from out of state, and ask a real estate agent to find some houses that fit your budget. Once you're discussing specific houses, the real estate agent should inform you whether the houses are in a flood zone or hurricane zone. You can also browse online real estate listings to see specific homes that are for sale (or will be at the time when you're moving). For example, check out the Zillow listings at: https://www.zillow.com/fl/.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Research your topic. Dress suitably for your debate. Write your speech. Rehearse your material. Memorize your main points. Predict your opposition. Make debate aids. Get plenty of sleep. Eat sufficiently before your debate.

Answer: You'll need to know the general details of the topic that you'll be expected to debate, but in particular, you should take note of specific information and figures you might use. This will help with your rational appeal in your argument, as numbers can have a powerful impact in your audience while being difficult to refute. Research in an open ended fashion to improve your critical evaluation of facts. Open ended research usually entails shifting your reading and viewing habits to include sources that are educational or current event based. Conduct focused research on your topic. List the areas you feel you have strong background knowledge and any gaps in your knowledge on the topic. Try to fill in these gaps while coordinating your research with other teammates, so there is little to no overlap in your research efforts and you make the best use of your time. How you present yourself to your audience is often considered to be part of your delivery and will likely affect your scoring. Depending on the level of your competition and the expectations of those involved, the right outfit for your situation may vary. You will want to come across from the very beginning as being respectful of your audience and a respectable person, both of which can be achieved by wearing more formal clothing. Ask your teacher or coach what the best clothing for your level of competition might be if you are unsure. Lower level or less serious competitions might only require a dress shirt or polo with a pair of khaki pants. High level competitions, championships for example, will probably be best attended in a suit and tie. Don't overdress; although a tuxedo will set you apart, it might seem to others like you are showing off. Once you have decided on your argument and the material you will use in it, you will need to write the speech you will use during the debate. Depending on the kind of debate and the rules your debate chapter, these can differ significantly, though every debate should have: An unbiased introduction that presents basic information and the topic. A body that includes an emotional point, a logical point, and an ethical point in favor of your side of the debate. You should also have examples, quotations, and statistics to strengthen your case. A conclusion that summarizes the important points made by you and/or members of your team. This is an important part of debate preparation. Rehearsal will help you feel more comfortable with your material, will make you more aware of your voice and body, and will help you identify problem areas. Record yourself if you are able. This way you can check your posture, gestures, and speaking volume. Try rehearsing in front of mirror. Note how you use your hands, how your words sync with your expressions, and the naturalness of your body language. Quick recall will allow you to respond to the oppositions points more quickly. Additionally, memorization will put information vital to your argument/counterargument at your disposal. Demonstrating your quick wit can earn you points with your judges and put you ahead of your opponents. While constructing your argument, you should take weak points into consideration, as these will likely be used by your opposition. Beyond that, what are the best arguments you can think to use for the opposing argument? Keep this in mind, and think of specific ways you can question or undermine the validity of these arguments. Your level and the rules of your debate league might disallow the use of index cards during your debate, but these can still help you with memorization and organization. In the event that flashcards are allowed, these can help you keep your argument and rebuttals well organized and accurate. Organize your flashcards so that the most important information is offset from other details by using underlines, highlighting, or other marks. Include a bare-bones outline of your talking points so that if you are interrupted or lose your place, you can get back on topic easily. Study with your flashcards regularly. Choose intervals throughout the day to study, like after waking up, during lunch, and before going to bed. Repetition will help reinforce your memorization. This can be especially difficult if you are a nervous person, but tension can result in even laid back debaters having a poor night's sleep. Sleep deprivation can hurt your response time, recall, and mental sharpness, which may translate into penalties in your score. To prevent nerves from harming your sleep, you might: Exercise the day before a debate. Take a natural sleep supplement, like chamomile tea or melatonin, to help falling asleep. Most veteran speakers will prepare for a debate by eating moderate meals. Most eat enough to keep hunger at bay during the debate, but avoid eating anything heavy that might cause drowsiness or lethargy. You might also want to avoid consuming dairy, as doing so can create mucous that might hurt your speaking voice, and caffeinated beverages, which can cause an over-active bladder.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Gather your tools and materials. Chain enough stitches Connect the chain with a slipstitch. Single crochet around the chain. Continue to single crochet all rounds. Bind off Sew the bottom closed.

Answer:
Making a crocheted cell phone case is much easier than it might seem. You just need a few things to do it. You will need: Yarn in the color and type of your choice A crochet hook appropriate for the type of yarn you are using. Be sure to check the label of your yarn for recommendations on what size hook to use with the yarn. Scissors Button Needle and thread to wrap around your cell phone. You don't need to worry about measuring your phone to get the right measurements for your cell phone case. All you need to do is to make a chain long enough to wrap around your cell phone width-wise. The chain should be snug, but not super tight. If the chain is too tight, add a chain or two. If it is too loose, take a couple of chains out. Leave a long tail of about 10 to 12 inches (25 to 20 cm). You can use this yarn to sew the bottom closed after you finish making the case. Next, you will need to connect the beginning and end of the chain to begin crocheting in rounds. With the loop still on your hook from the last chain you crocheted, insert the crochet hook into the first link in your chain. Then, loop the yarn over the hook, and pull it through both stitches to secure them together. Your chain should now be connected in a circle. Once the chain is a circle, you can begin single crocheting around it. Start by inserting the hook into the first stitch in the round. Then, loop the yarn over and pull this yarn through the first loop. Loop the yarn over the hook again and then pull this yarn through both stitches on the hook. This will complete your first single crochet stitch. Single crochet to the last stitch in the round, and then slipstitch to connect the first and last stitches. If you prefer to use a different type of stitch, then you can. For example, you could try the double crochet stitch, popcorn stitch, or cluster stitch. Be careful not to twist the stitches. You will need to continue to single crochet all rounds until the case is long enough to hold your cell phone. Once it looks like you are getting close, try slipping your cell phone into the case to see how far you have to go. Keep going until your entire cell phone fits in the case. . After you have achieved your desired length for the cell phone case, you will need to bind off your work. To do this, cut the free end of the yarn a few inches away from the hook, and then pull it out through your last loop to secure it. To deal with the tail, you can either weave in the end using a darning needle, or tie it in a second knot and cut the excess. Use the tail that you left at the beginning of making the case to sew the bottom of the case closed. If you did not leave a long enough tail, then tie a 10 to 12 inch (25 to 30 cm) piece of yarn to the tail and thread it through a darning needle. Then, stitch along the bottom of the cell phone case to close it.
