Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball. Set the tree in the middle of the hole. Fill the hole halfway with soil. Pour 2USgal (7.6L) of water into the hole. Fill the hole the rest of the way.

Answer: The hole only needs to be as deep as the root ball, but it needs to be wide to encourage root growth. Measure the width of your root ball and multiple it by 2. Dig a hole with that diameter. Make sure the root ball is in the middle of the hole. You should also make sure the tree is standing up straight. If you plant it titled to one side or the other, the roots might not take hold properly. You can use a standard potting soil to fill in the hole around the root ball. Don't tamp down the soil, since this will interfere with the soil's drainage. Just pour the soil into the hole, halfway up the root ball. Don't add any fertilizer to the hole at this step. It will encourage the roots to grow in a circular direction around the root ball, and weeping willows grow best when their roots branch out. Weeping willows really like water, although they'll grow fine in drier soil. Once you've filled the hole halfway with soil, pour 2USgal (7.6L) of water evenly over the soil. Once you've watered the first layer of soil, fill the hole around the root ball to the top with soil. Once it's full, lightly tamp down the top of the soil to even it out.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Select your materials. Assemble your frame. Iron your fabric. Staple your fabric. Cut off the corner fabric. Add wire to your frame.

Answer: You will first need to choose the fabric you wish to hang and display. Traditional Marimekko fabric is often hung as an accent for your home; however, you can hang almost any fabric design you wish to. You will also need to purchase four stretcher bars to make a frame. These vary widely in terms of thickness, color, etc. If you would rather make your own frame, check out this link: How to Make a Picture Frame Go to your local arts and crafts store to find bars which accent your fabric of choice, and which are large or small enough for your particular project. If you want a large picture, get large bars, if you want a small picture, buy smaller ones. Stretcher bars usually come pre-packaged so that you will always get two smaller bars, and two larger bars (two for the sides of your picture, and two for the length of your picture). You will also need to pick up the following items: heavy-duty staple gun, 5/16 inch heavy-duty staples, an iron, a hammer, 2 eye hooks, and some picture frame wire. Slide the notched ends of the stretcher bars into one another, making each corner a 90 degree angle. Make sure that you place a small bar, next to a large one, next to a small one, next to a large one (how a normal picture frame looks). Give each corner a gentle tap with a hammer to make sure each notch is securely in place. You can also use glue if you choose to help secure the notches. Before you slide them into one another, apply a small amount of wood glue to the receiving end of the notch. Then slide in the bar, hold for a few minutes at a 90 degree angle, and lift away. Take your piece of fabric and lay it on a flat surface, such as an ironing board. Do so, so that the design is facing downwards. Set your iron to the low setting, and gently press against the back of your fabric. Work it to the left and the right in order to smooth out the entire piece. Let your fabric rest and cool. Place your already made frame on top of the fabric (on the back of the fabric). Use a ruler to measure 2 inches of fabric on each side of the frame. Use a pair of scissors or a rotary blade to cut the fabric at this 2 inch mark all the way around the frame. If you decide to use a rotary blade, make sure that you use a cutting board so that you don't cut through your table. Start on whichever side you like. Bring up the fabric around the middle of the side, and staple it through to the wood. Make sure that the fabric is pulled tight. Work towards each of the corners, placing staples about an inch apart each. Pull the fabric tight with each staple. Repeat the previous instruction for each of the sides. If you think that the fabric is too loose underneath one of the staples, use a staple remover, and re-staple your fabric. Important: leave the fabric on the corners loose. Do not staple the corner fabric down. It is best to use a pair of scissors for this, rather than a rotary blade. However, do not cut off all of the fabric, just a good inch or so of the excess. Do this for each corner. After you have the fabric cut, lay one side of the fabric down against the frame, and lay the other piece on top of the other. Staple two staples into these two pieces, each staple about 1/4 inch separate from one another. Go around and give a gentle tap with a hammer to any staples you don't think have fully sunk in. Screw in two eye hooks to the top bar you wish to hang the fabric from. Put each eye hook about an inch inward on each side of the bar. Cut a piece of wire, and feed each end through both of the eye hooks. Curl the wire on each end so that the wire is tight. Remember, you do not want the wire to show when you hang it up. If your piece is too long, either curl more on both ends, or cut a new piece of wire. You only want about 1/2 inch of lag. Once you have attached the wire, hang it up on your wall.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Type the minutes as soon as possible. Identify when the meeting was held. Note when the meeting was called to order. State whether prior minutes were adopted. Note any reports or presentations given. Summarize the discussion of agenda items. Provide fuller notes on important agenda items. Add remaining information. Circulate your draft minutes. Avoid making changes to final minutes. Store your approved minutes.

Answer:
You might have taken handwritten notes while sitting in the meeting. Even if you typed your notes, you might have caught only fragment sentences. As soon as possible, sit down and type up more complete minutes. Remember to use standard grammar and complete sentences. For example, "Mr. Smith objected to the new line of credit" is acceptable. "Smith no on credit" isn't. There are corporate meeting templates available online. You might want to look at them if you need help figuring out how to organize your minutes. At the top of your page, include the where, when, and who attended or was absent. Also note any guests and who wrote down the minutes for the meeting. For example, you can write: "Minutes of a regular meeting of the board of Directors of ABC Company, held January 22, 2017 at 1245 Corporate Avenue. The following directors were present: Abrams, Jones, Smith, Calvert, Bono. The following directors were absent: Clinton. The following guests were present: Michael Matthews, CPA. Minutes recorded by J. Allen." State who called the meeting to order and acknowledged the existence of a quorum. Also state the time. For example, "Chair Abrams called the meeting to order at 6:15 pm and noted the presence of a quorum. He introduced the guests in attendance." For example, you can write: "On motion made, seconded, and carried, the Board approved the previously distributed minutes dated [insert date]." Some reports are given at every meeting. However, you may also have had a special presentation related to an agenda item. Identify the following: Who gave the presentation or report. Also identify their title. Some presentations are given by guests, and the minutes should fully reflect their identity. What the presentation or report was about. Whether the presenter responded to questions asked. If a report was offered for adoption by the board, note whether there was discussion and if it was adopted. For example, "After a brief discussion of the issues, a motion was made to accept the financial report, which was seconded and passed." The board might have decided to adopt a resolution or take action on some other agenda item. You should summarize the discussion of the members. Also note the vote on each item. Use simple language. Avoid unnecessary words and adjectives, which clutter the minutes. For example, "Mr. Smith disagreed with Ms. Jones" is preferable to "Mr. Smith strenuously disagreed with Ms. Jones." Properly identify documents the attendees review. For example, "The Board approved the proposed additions to the conflict of interest policy" is unclear. Instead, identify the document: "The Board unanimously approved the 'Addition to Conflict Reporting' proposal dated June 1, 2016, a copy of which was distributed before the meeting." Some corporate agenda items are more important than others. They are important because future lawsuits might arise out of the board's decision. Lawyers and judges will treat your minutes as an accurate portrayal of how the board acted. To protect the board, you should provide more detail. Mergers and acquisitions, stock buybacks, and other significant decisions will require more detail. Directors can be sued for improperly exercising their business judgment. Board members often must consult with experts or review reports/studies before making a decision in these areas. Your minutes should reflect that an expert presentation was made or that you distributed studies or reports to board members ahead of the meeting. You should also note that sufficient time was given to discussion and that the board acted in a business-like manner. Note whether the board discussed alternatives to the proposed course of action. Summarize why the board rejected or adopted the alternative course of action. Note the following, where applicable, in the chronological order in which they occurred at the meeting: Announcements. The Chair or other members might have made announcements about upcoming meetings or other issues. Executive session. State whether the board went into executive session after staff and guests left. Adjournment. For example, you can write, "There being no additional business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:55 pm." Your draft needs to be reviewed. Follow your corporation's policy. For example, you might need to show your draft to the General Counsel or the Chief Financial Officer. They may make comments, which you should incorporate. You may then need to distribute the draft to a broader group of management, which may also have comments. Finally, you will distribute the minutes to the full board, since they will be voting on the minutes for the next meeting. Once approved by the board, minutes are final. You should avoid making changes to them. Some experts suggest you can make minor edits, such as fixing spelling errors. However, there's really no need to correct typos and other tiny errors unless they prevent someone from understanding what was written. You should never change anything substantive. If a board member wants to make a change to approved minutes, tell the board chairperson. You don't have to file your corporate minutes with your state. However, you probably must store them with your other corporate records, such as your bylaws and articles of incorporation. Keep the minutes for at least seven years or perhaps indefinitely, depending on your internal policies. If your minutes incorporated a document by reference, attach the document. You should also discard any drafts of your minutes after the final version has been adopted. You may also have to delete back-up electronic versions of the minutes.
