Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make a project timeline. Use reliable sources. Find up to date material.

Answer: Completing a successful project requires a significant amount of time and work, which means evaluating your priorities and planning your course of action. Schedule specific research time and plan daily, weekly, or monthly targets for your progress (e.g. completing a detailed project outline by the first week). Keep track of your schedule with a smartphone app such as Schedule Planner, a free iPhone app that organizes your tasks and deadlines. When looking up books, news articles, or websites, always look for the credentials of the author or creator of a text. Search for the name of the writer(s) to see if they have already been published, or cited in the work of others. Avoid anonymously-written text or any sensational writing that may be geared towards attracting readers rather than conveying facts. When researching a topic, check the date of publication of all of the reference materials that you use. Current information is always ideal, but it is imperative to find the most recent data in dynamic fields such as the sciences. Historical texts, on the other hand, would be an exception.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Present your business culture and location. Build an online community where customers can offer advice or post questions. Ask for customer feedback. Announce your successes. Offer a free gift or exclusive offer to repeat customers. Separate types of customers in your database. Encourage people to review your products in a public forum, like Facebook or online. Feature your customers on your online channels.

Answer: Study the things that are important to your company and the people that buy your products. Focus on communicating company culture, rather than simply self-promoting, in all your customer communication. For example, become a part of a local business organization or post information on your social media accounts that tout your city and state. For example, if you are a retailer of cowboy boots, perhaps it is a good idea to have a hashtag on Instagram that called #travelling boots so that your customers post pictures of themselves wearing their boots. Try sending a customer satisfaction survey or customer product input survey at least once per year. Send the survey out over Facebook and email. Ask your customers to have a hand in buying new products or refining those you already carry. Send an email after someone has received their goods to see if they are satisfied. One e-commerce site, ModCloth, asks customers to "Be the Stylist" and vote on their favorite outfits, so that ModCloth restocks the most popular items. You can also suggest other dresses that they don't currently carry. Invite customers to celebrate with you when you open a new location, expand your hours or receive an award. They will want to know that they are supporting the best businesses out there. Build loyalty by offering timely discounts and incentives. Try to tailor your messages to each group. For example, a new customer would get different emails than a customer that has buying for years. Not only do comment sections and reviews help your website rank more highly in search results, but they create a forum for customer service. Unless a comment is highly inflammatory, try to handle concerns publicly, so people can see your willingness to provide good customer service. Have a weekly drawing or customer of the week, so you can get customer perspective and participation.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start with fresh okra. Wash the okra. Trim off the stems. Prepare a pot of boiling water. Prepare an ice bath. Blanch the okra for 3 - 4 minutes. Plunge the okra into the ice bath for 3 - 4 minutes. Drain and dry the okra.

Answer: Don't attempt to freeze okra that is underripe or past its peak, or you won't be pleased with the taste and texture of the okra when you thaw it later. Choose brightly-colored, well-formed okra without mushy spots or bruising. If possible, pick the okra fresh. This enables you to freeze the okra before it starts degrading, and will result in the best-tasting okra later on. If you don't grow your own okra or can't get to a farm, try buying it a farmer's market or from a store that regularly restocks. You don't want okra that's been sitting on a shelf for several days. Rinse away dirt and debris using a steady stream of cool water. Handle the okra gently, massaging away dirt instead of scrubbing it off. Okra is a rather fragile vegetable and will bruise easily if handled roughly. Use a sharp knife to trim off the tips of the okra. Don't remove the entire cap that covers the seed cell; just trim the stems. Exposing the seed cell will cause the okra to break down quickly when you blanch it. Pour water into a large pot and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. This will be used to blanch the okra. Fill a bowl with ice and water. The okra will be plunged into the bowl immediately after blanching to stop it from overcooking. Place the okra in the boiling water. If the okra pieces are large, they'll need to be boiled for 4 minutes. Blanch them for just 3 minutes if they're on the small side. After the time is up, remove the okra from the pot with a slotted spoon. If you have a mixture of small and large pieces of okra, sort them before blanching. Blanch the small pieces for 3 minutes and the large pieces for 4 minutes. Doing it separately will preserve the texture of each. Blanching vegetables kills the enzymes that cause them to continue to ripen and eventually rot, thus helping preserve their color, flavor and texture. If you neglect to blanch the okra before freezing it, you'll end up with mushy, flavorless okra when you thaw it. As a general rule, you should chill blanched vegetables for the same amount of time that you blanched them. So if you blanched small pieces of okra for 3 minutes, chill them for 3. If you blanched large pieces for 4 minutes, chill them for 4. Place the okra on a cutting board or tray and let them dry before proceeding.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Hire a removals van. Pick up your vehicle on the morning of the move. Pack your moving truck. Drive your truck to your new location. Unload your stuff. Return your moving truck.

Answer:
If you're tackling the move by yourself, then you'll need to arrange to pick up a removals van on the morning of the move. Make this arrangement well in advance, or it may be tricky to hire a van exactly when you want it for a reasonable price during a busy moving season. Compare the prices of a few companies before making your decision. Get there early to avoid waiting in a queue on a busy moving day. Packing your moving truck won't be a big challenge if you plan in advance and have the help of a few trusted friends when you do it. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you pack your moving truck: Remember that you will need at least two people to handle things other than lifting and hauling. They will need to organize the things that need to be loaded by keeping the packed boxes close to the door easily accessible. Disassemble your furniture. Take apart any lamps, tables with removable legs, bookshelves, and entertainment systems. Protect your furniture. Wrap all of your items with packing paper, bubblewrap and tape as you load them into the truck. Load the heaviest items first, into the back of the truck. This includes your fridge, washer, dryer, and other appliances, as well as your heaviest boxes. Load the heaviest boxes. Stack them like bricks to form layers of walls that fill the back of the truck. Use T-stacks to make the boxes more stable: make each vertical seam make a T with the horizontal layer below it, like bricks in a house. Avoid vertical pillars of similar sized boxes. To maximize space, it is essential to stack high, stable walls early on. Next, load your longer items into the truck. This includes your bed and shelves. Lean them against the sides of the truck. Pack your remaining boxes into the truck. Create three layers of boxes which includes the heaviest boxes on the bottom, the medium-sized boxes in the middle, and the lightest boxes on top. Once you're done with each layer, tape it together with packing tape. Put in your remaining items. The trick is to make everything fit snugly together, but don't pack it so tight that it looks ready to explode. When using the ramp of a box van, such as the vans pictured, make sure the ramp has been fitted into place: once you have fully extended the ramp from under the truck, you will find two prongs that will fit into slots on the lip of the van's cargo space. This will ensure that the ramp is flush with the lip, and make it a breeze to use the dolly. This step is often overlooked. Make sure the dolly is one of the last things to get loaded, so you will have it as soon as you arrive at the new house. Carefully drive the truck to your new home. Be prepared to drive slower and more carefully than you would do in a car. Driving a moving truck takes a big adjustment. Remember to go slowly and stay calm, because the drive may be stressful. If at all possible, back the truck up to the new house so that the ramp will extend onto the porch. Use all of your crew as spotters to make sure you are clear of any obstacles. When you are close to the porch, extend the ramp and hook it in place, and have a crew member carry the opposite end. Most ramps will not latch properly unless the end is on the ground. Once you have the ramp set up, here's how you can unload your stuff: Have a plan for where you're going to put the large items in each room. Do a walk through with the movers, and show them where the larger items go, such as the sofas, TV, cabinets, beds, dressers, night-stands, etc. Choose where to put the boxes and small items in each room based on that. That way the boxes won't be in the way when the big furniture comes in. And you won't have to move the boxes again. You can put Post-it notes on the wall if necessary. You will have arranged whether you will do this the same day or the next morning.
