INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A clicker is a device that makes a clicking noise. It works well for training because it is an immediate, consistent response to an action. When you begin clicker training, you just want to get your cat to associate it with good things, so you offer a treat and click at the same time. Keep doing this over and over, until the cat begins to associate the treat with the clicker. If you don't want to invest in a clicker, you can try a ballpoint pen that makes a clicking noise. The easiest way to teach a cat to come to its name is to use a behavior already in place. For instance, if your cat always comes to the kitchen when you use the can opener, say its name as you use the can opener. Reward the cat with a treat. " Place a bit of moist food on a spoon. You can use tuna, baby food (meat only), cat food, or salmon, for instance. Hold it just above the cat's head, so it has to tilt up to get to the food. That should force its back end to the ground. When its back end is on the ground, click and offer it the treat. As your cat gets better at it, you can add in the command to "Sit." Start moving from the spoon to loose treats, using the clicker. " "Stay" only works if your cat has already mastered "sit." Tell your cat to sit in a distraction-free area. Say "stay." Make a small movement, like shuffling your feet or moving an arm. If the cat doesn't move, click and offer a treat. Keep making small movements and offering small treats if your cat doesn't move. If your cat does move, go back to smaller movements. Keep working up to harder and harder stays. You might walk across the room for a short stay, for instance. You'll need more patience with a cat than you would with a dog. First, you'll need a harness and a leash. Place the harness on the cat in the house, and let it start getting used to it in short spurts. Once the cat is okay with that, you can take it into the yard on the leash. Don't walk it yet. Let the cat explore the yard on the leash. Don't leave it alone. Once the cat is okay with being outside, try taking it on short walks in the neighborhood.

SUMMARY: Begin with clicker training. Help it come to its name. Work on "sit. Move on to "stay. Teach it to walk on a leash.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To create a basic MLA in-text citation, type the last name of the author, then a space, then the page number (or range of pages) where the information you quoted or paraphrased appears in the original work. Your citation goes at the end of the sentence, inside the closing punctuation. For example: Louis Armstrong easily reached difficult notes that stymied other trumpet players (Bergreen 258). Particularly if you have authors with relatively common names, it's likely you'll have multiple sources with authors who have the same last name. Use first initials to differentiate them so your in-text citation will point your readers to the correct entry on your Works Cited page. For example: Record deals are typically negotiated by lawyers and studio executives, not by the artists themselves (R. Stewart 17). Type the first author's name followed by the word "and," then the second author's name. Use the same order that appears on the title page or byline of the source, which should also be the same order you use on your Works Cited page. Follow the second author's name with the page number, if the source is paginated. For example: With the explosion of streaming music, record deals had to evolve to incorporate this new method of distribution (Hall and Oates 24). al" for 3 or more authors. MLA style parenthetical citations only include the names of up to 2 authors. If the source has 3 or more authors, only the first author's name is included. However, you'll include all the author's names in your Works Cited entry. For example: In the age of digital music, individual songs have become more important than record sales (McCartney et. al. 37). Some authors may discuss a particular idea across several pages of their work. While you don't necessarily have to include every instance where the idea was mentioned, you should include the page numbers for passages you specifically read. If the source has an index, it can help you with this. For example: Record label fears that digital music would bring about their end were overblown (Urban 12, 18, 29-32).

SUMMARY: Put the author's last name and page number in parentheses. Add first initials for authors with the same last name. Type both authors' names if the work has 2 authors. Follow the first author's name with "et. Cite all pages where paraphrased information appears.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Much of your communication is done through body language. Be conscious before, during, and after your interview, to maintain strong body language that will help you make a positive, lasting impression on your interviewer. Practice good posture by keeping your shoulders back, your back straight, and your chin up. Don't keep anything in your lap like a briefcase or purse. Keep your hands and arms steady, and free of objects that you may subconsciously play with during your interview. First impressions go a long way, and one way to make a great one, is by greeting your interviewer with a handshake. This will show you are a confident, welcoming person. Practice your handshake with a friend to make sure it is not too soft, or aggressive. After your interview is over, follow up with your interviewer to show your appreciation, and once again, highlight why you are a strong candidate. You can send an email, or a card in the mail. However you chose to send it, be sure to do it within the next day.

SUMMARY:
Display confident body language. Greet with a firm handshake. Send a thank you note.
