Problem: Article: Some fish will eat anything and everything in sight, including other fish. Some fish are more picky eaters that will refuse to eat if bullied by others. Some fish require a certain number of pellets, whereas others just need a pinch of flakes. Get to know what the nutritional requirements are for your fish. Make sure to consider the algae needs of your fish as well. Some fish, like plecos, are friendly algae eaters unless that food is not available. Then, they can turn more aggressive. General wisdom suggests that big fish will usually bully and eat little fish. Try to pair fish together that can grow alongside one another to a similar size at maturity. Angelfish, for example, are known to stalk and kill smaller fish in their tanks. A medium size fish or a schooling fish can sometimes withstand the pressures from larger fish. You don't want to look into your tank and see fast-moving fish chasing fish that move a bit more slowly. Learn about how much movement a certain fish species prefers. Try not to pair an overly athletic fish with aggressive tendencies with a fish that is smaller, slower, and more docile. Some fish just do better when living and playing in groups. Tropical fish, unlike their freshwater counterparts, seem to particularly prefer living in schools. Try to establish a school of at least five fish, but be aware that you may need to boost your numbers even more. Tiger barbs, for example, are known to develop a temper unless they are placed with an extremely large school of 20 to 50 fish. Try to find out if the fish that you are interested in do best with those of the same sex or the opposite. This especially important information to consider with regard to spawning behaviors. For example, a male Betta fish really needs to be the only male in residence in a tank. Whereas, a female Betta does fine with other females.
Summary: Choose fish with similar eating patterns. Stock your tank with similar size fish. Choose fish with similar paces of movement. Get a school of fish. Buy fish that are not predatory based on sex.

Problem: Article: If you are working for a private lawyer or law firm, you should begin by understanding what they prefer. Ask if they have any particular expectations or requirements for the transcript. You may also need to follow local or statewide regulations for formatting. For example, the California Court Reporters Association publishes on its website the "Minimum Transcript Format Standards." These standards establish the number of lines per page, the spacing, the margin sizes, and so on. You need to find out if similar standards or expectations exist for your location. As another example, the court system of Massachusetts publishes a booklet entitled "Uniform Transcript Format." This booklet sets forth expectations on everything from formatting the title page to what color and weight paper are to be used. A transcript of any legal meeting, deposition or hearing must clearly identify its source. You will need a cover page that identifies the type of meeting and the location. If this is specifically connected to an ongoing court case, you should provide the name of the case, the court, and the docket number. For example, your cover and first page heading may identify, "Deposition of John Doe, at the Offices of Smith & Wesson, 123 Main Street, Los Angeles, CA, in the matter of Davis v. Roberts, Case Number 16-12345." On the title page, you will usually be expected to identify the individuals who are part of the meeting. This will add clarity for anyone reading the transcript. You should identify people by name and by their role in the meeting or hearing. For example, you may record, "In attendance: John Brown, Attorney for the Plaintiff. Samantha Smith, Attorney for the Defendant. David Davis, Plaintiff. Wanda Witness, expert witness and deponent." A legal transcript must report the date and time that the dialogue begins. You should note any time when a break occurs. Then you will report the time that the proceeding ends. For example, at the start of a deposition transcript, you may note: "Deposition begins at 10:35 a.m., Monday, July 11, 2016." Then report the conversation that occurs, until you note, "Deposition breaks for lunch at 12:45 p.m.," followed by "Deposition resumes at 2:00 p.m." You need to indicate each person who is speaking and record each word carefully. Generally, you should include even such utterances as "uh" and "um," because they may indicate a person's pause while thinking of an answer. Include nonverbal gestures when they are relevant to the proceedings. For example, you may note, "The witness nods his head up and down." Provide a complete record, even when the speaker changes his train of thought, makes grammatical mistakes or otherwise corrects himself verbally. For example, "Well, yes sir, um, wait, I mean ma'am, yes ma'am." At the beginning of the document, it is important to list the individuals who are in the meeting. As the transcript progresses, you need to identify each speaker consistently and accurately. Depending on the type of document you are creating and the jurisdiction where you are working, there may be a specified format for identifying speakers. For example, you may initially list individuals by name, and then each time the person speaks, the line will begin with a designation, such as "PROSECUTOR," "DEFENDANT," or "WITNESS." It is common to identify the speakers in all capitals, so that each change of speaker stands out visibly in the transcript. Include any future proceeding information, such as a trial or hearing date and time, parties and legal representatives to be included. At the end of the transcript, you need to attest that the transcript is a truthful account of the proceeding. This is a fairly standard signature page, much like one you would use for an affidavit or other legal document that you've recorded and transcribed. It should include a statement that includes a truthfulness oath along with your signature, the date and the time. For example, your certification may say, "I, Robert Recorder, certify that the foregoing is a true and accurate transcript of the deposition in the above titled matter." Then sign it.
Summary: Learn the required or expected format, if any. Identify the proceeding that you are transcribing. Identify the parties who are part of the meeting. Record the date and time. Record the proceedings precisely and completely. Identify speakers accurately. End the transcript with the time and date. Create a signature page for yourself.

Problem: Article: When you want to frost the sides of the cake, you'll need to apply a thin crumb coat to the exposed cake, trapping any loose crumbs inside. Note that the cake will show through the crumb coating. You only want to use a thin layer of frosting to trap the loose crumbs. This layer will not be visible once the cake is complete. If your refrigerator is large enough, place the cake inside for roughly 30 minutes to help the crumb coat set. If you cannot chill the cake in your refrigerator, you should at least let it rest in a cool room for several minutes before handling it again. Consider placing a small fan in front of it to help the frosting cool. Ideally, the frosting should become so cool that it no longer feels sticky. Apply a thicker layer of frosting over the crumb coat of the cake. Continue until all sides are thoroughly coated and smooth. Before frosting the cake, slide strips of wax paper underneath the bottom of the cake, forming a square frame. Excess frosting will get on the wax paper instead of the cake board or platter. When you finish frosting the cake, you can remove the wax paper strips and the mess all at once. From this point on, you can apply any decorations you want using additional icing, candies, or non-edible embellishments. Once you've added the finishing touches to your decorations, the cake will be complete and ready to serve.
Summary:
Apply a crumb coat. Chill the cakes again, if feasible. Frost the sides of each tier. Decorate the cake as desired.
