Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Gather your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 325F (163C) and grease and flour a cake pan. Cream the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla. Stir in the cake flour. Pour the batter into the pan. Bake the cake for 1 hour 15 minutes.

Answer: Pound cake is one of the simplest cakes to bake. Pound cakes are best baked in deep pans, such as loaf pans or bundt pans. Use butter or shortening to grease the pan. Then, sprinkle a light layer of flour into the pan, rotate the pan until it's evenly coated, then tap out the excess flour. Place the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat them together until the mixture is light, fluffy and creamy. For best results, add the eggs one at a time and beat the mixture in between. Keep beating the mixture until the eggs are completely incorporated. Keep the electric mixer on low or use a wooden spoon to stir the flour in a bit at a time until it's just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix it. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Rotate the pan 180 degrees halfway through the cook time to ensure it bakes evenly. The cake is finished when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Enjoy your delicious homemade cake!

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn the role of each position on the court. Practice your fundamentals to improve your skills Pass frequently and keep the ball moving Practice grabbing rebounds Learn to set picks for your teammates Learn to make cuts.

Answer: If you're on a basketball team, the major positions have specific rules and roles that govern each job. To improve your skills, it's a good idea to learn the specifics of each position and learn what place you might fill on the court. Centers are the big players who guard the hoop. The center is usually the tallest and most physical player on the court, whose job revolves around grabbing rebounds, posting up near the hoop for easy tip-in shots, and guarding the hoop on defense. Famous centers include Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal, and Yao Ming. Forwards are the second-biggest players on the court, physical enough to play defense and go down low, but dexterous enough to shoot from the outside. Good forwards make excellent cuts and are powerful physical presences in the arc. Famous forwards include Charles Barkley, Bill Russell, Tim Duncan, and LeBron James. Guards are the architects of the offense. The guards are the players that carry the ball down court, set up plays, and shoot from the outside. The guards typically score the most points and are valued for quickness, accurate passing, and sniper-like shooting. Great Guards include Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Magic Johnson. . If you want to be a better basketball player, practice your fundamentals. Good dribbling, shooting, and defensive skills are the best way to spend time becoming a good player. Don't practice making behind-the-back passes, or lowering the hoop so you can practice your 360 dunks until you can shoot lay-ups from both hands, 10 times out of 10, and you can make 20 free throws in a row. . Good basketball teams can keep the ball moving at all times, keeping the defense off balance and on their heels. When your team has the ball, keep your passes quick and crisp to move the ball around and find an open lane to the hoop. It's a common misconception that basketball needs to be played by virtuosic ballers who all dunk non-stop and hog the ball. Good players pass, selfish players dribble around constantly and lose the ball. Practice your passes. . One of the most unheralded basketball skills is the rebound. Because lots of shots miss, the ball will end up somewhere unpredictable, bouncing off in one direction or another, sometimes straight up in the air. When the ball goes wild, both teams have a chance for getting control of it, meaning that the ability to out-jump your opponents and grab it is very valuable. When you practice shooting, practice running up on the hoop to grab your own rebound, if possible. If you play down low, as a forward or a center, practice "boxing out" the other players with your backside, muscling them away from the prime real-estate. Get low and stay wide, keep your arms out, and keep your eyes on the ball to give yourself the best chance of grabbing the board. . As you learn to work as a team, you'll eventually want to start working out plays and formations, most of which involve some kind of pick and roll. Setting a pick means using your body as a barrier, for one of your teammates to run a defender up against. Most of the time, forwards will set picks for guards, though any player may set a pick on offense. When your teammate has the ball, you need to move around. Don't just stand there flat-footed waiting for a pass! Make cuts under the hoop, Try to shake your defender, and get open. Give your team supporting options by moving around and staying fluid. Find open space and look for the open shot.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Follow "neither" with "nor" within a sentence. Use "nor" multiple times within a list. Keep your "neither" and "nor" parallel. Do not use "nor" with "either.

Answer:
Usually, "nor" follows "neither" in the same sentence, as in, "neither A nor B." Together, this neither/nor structure forms something known as a correlative pair. This means that the information one term introduces is connected or related to the information the other term introduces. The two terms can be applied when discussing actions or they can be used when listing nouns. For instance, "He neither listens to music nor plays it," or "Alex likes neither candy nor cake." "Neither" can also start a sentence. As an example, "Neither Sarah nor Jim can make it to the party on Saturday." On the other hand, either/or shows when something does occur. For example, "Alex wants either candy or cake." Notice how this sentence tells us that Alex likes both of these things and will eat either, where as the neither/nor sentence told us that Alex doesn't like both of them. Typically, the neither/nor structure is only used when drawing a negative connection between two objects or actions. You can use "nor" when talking about more than two ideas, though, but you need to repeat the word "nor" after each item in your list. Note that "neither" is only used once, no matter how many times you use "nor." Do not merely separate the items in your list by commas. Correct example: "The store had neither peanut butter nor jelly nor bread. Incorrect example: "The store had neither peanut butter, jelly, nor bread." Parallel structure, as it applies to the neither/nor form, means that both halves of phrase need to match each other in regards to the information being described. In other words, you cannot follow "neither" with a verb action and "nor" with a noun, or vice versa. Both most either introduce a verb or introduce a noun. Correct example: "We saw neither Gwen nor Eric during our trip. Correct example: "We neither saw Gwen nor spoke to Eric during our trip." Incorrect example: "We neither saw Gwen nor Eric during our trip." " The terms "either" and "neither" are used in similar manners, but "either" is positive while "neither" is negative. As such, you must pair the negative "neither" with the negative "nor" and the positive "either" with the positive "or." Just as "neither" is always paired with "nor," "either" is always paired with "or." Correct example: "Neither James nor Rebecca is interested in basketball." Correct example: "Either eat your vegetables or skip your dessert." Incorrect example: "I neither know the rules of the game or care to know." Incorrect example: "I will either go to the library or take a nap."
