Q: It's best to transcribe the official minutes immediately after the meeting, when events are still fresh in your mind. You may already have done this if you used a laptop at the meeting. Save your notes and begin a new document for the minutes so you can compare your notes and minutes side by side. Each new motion, decision, or point of order should be in its own paragraph. As you format them, check that you: Use correct spelling and grammar. Use a spellchecker if you need to. Use the same tense throughout. Use the past or present tense, but never switch between them in the same document. Are objective as possible. Your own opinion should never be deducible from the minutes. You are trying to create an objective record for everyone to use. Use simple, exact language. Any vague language should be replaced with precise wording. Flowery descriptions should be removed entirely. Include only actions taken, not discussions. Unless you've been asked to record discussions, you should focus on what was done, not what was said. Number the pages for ease of reference. Send a copy to each member using the contact information on the sign in sheet. If you don't have their contact information, the meeting leader should be able to reach them. You may be asked to read the minutes aloud at the next meeting and submit them for approval. If the motion passes, mark that the minutes were accepted. If the minutes are corrected before they are accepted, make the changes in the document and indicate at the end that the minutes were corrected. Don't describe specific corrections. If a motion is made to correct the minutes after they have been accepted, include the exact wording of that motion in the relevant minutes and whether or not the motion passed.
A: Begin this process as soon as possible. Use a computer to type up your meeting notes. Format your notes into neat paragraphs. Distribute a draft of your minutes to members. Get the meeting minutes approved.

Q: This has been left open purposefully, so judge using your cooking intuition. Heat over medium heat to melt. Alternatively, zap in the microwave. Cover a small way down the edges, not too much. Lay on a parchment covered baking sheet. Freeze for 15 to 20 minutes, or until set. Hull and halve the strawberries and peel and slice the kiwifruit. Fill each shell with the vanilla pudding. You can vary the pudding flavor as preferred. Pipe or spoon whipped cream across the top of the fruit. Although optional, it adds a tasty and fancy touch. Arrange on serving plates and offer as dessert.
A: Use filling amounts appropriate for the number of tacos you'll be making. Add Nutella to a double boiler. Dip the edges of the taco shells in the melted Nutella. Place the Nutella-dipped tacos into the freezer. Cut the fruit while the tacos are setting. Remove the tacos from the freezer. Add fruit pieces to each taco. Sprinkle with powdered sugar for garnish. Serve.

Q: Since you're shifting your body weight , this gives you a strong base so that you don't topple over. Your feet should be about the same distance apart as your shoulders, and they should be parallel to each other. Point your toes forward. Swing your hips from left to right. Repeat this motion until you have a good feel for the movement. This is just so you understand the basic movement that you'll be doing. This is a preparatory step for learning the booty shake. Increase your range of motion as you sway side-to-side and twist back-and-forth. Twist your hips forward and backward. As you are twisting, release your butt cheeks. Do not squeeze them together. Twist quickly, and you should feel your butt cheeks smack against each other or jiggle. This is an isolated movement, so only your pelvis should be moving. Do not bend your back. Instead of twisting as much as you were before in the previous step, lessen it so that you are still twisting but about half as much. However, continue to twist at the same fast rate as before that made your butt jiggle. It shouldn't look like you're twisting even though you are. Your knees should be just about locked as you do this. With your feet still at about shoulder width apart, bend over at about a 90 degree angle. Then, continue to twist with the same limited range of motion as before. Continue to shake or twist quickly and repeat for as long as you want. Don't let your arms dangle. You don't want them looking like silly string as you shake. Bend them at about a 90 degree angle.
A: Stand with your legs shoulder width apart. Sway from side to side. Twist from side to side. Lessen the twisting range of motion. Bend over.

Q: In addition to your four years of law office study, you should consider taking a Bar prep course to learn how to succeed at the Bar exam itself. Bar prep courses typically offer a combination of in-person and online instruction over several weeks, and cost a few thousand dollars. Bar prep courses boast far higher passage rates than the state averages. For example, Themis states that 75 percent of first-time test takers who completed their program passed the California bar. In July of 2014, four candidates took the California Bar for the first time after completing the four year study program. None of them passed. Of the 23 exam takers who were on their second or third attempt to pass the bar, only one passed. Once you've completed your four years of study, you can apply to take the California Bar exam by filling out the application and paying the $645 fee to take the California Bar as a general applicant. The exam is administered in July and February of each year. If you file your application in April for the July exam, or in November for the February exam, you'll pay an additional $50 late filing fee. Anytime later, up until the final filing deadline, you can only apply if you pay an additional $250. If you want to use a laptop for the exam, you'll pay an additional fee of $146. You should decide if you want to use a laptop when you initially file your application, because if you change your mind and decide later that you want to use one, you'll have to pay an additional $15 late laptop fee. The California General Bar Examination consists of a written section that includes six essay questions and two performance tests along with the 200 multiple-choice questions for the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE). For example, the July 2014 examination included essays on contracts and remedies, evidence, business associations and professional responsibility, criminal law and procedure, trusts and community property, and torts. The two performance tests were writing an objective memorandum and writing a persuasive brief. You will receive an admissions ticket that includes the dates and times of your exam and the location of your assigned testing center. You also will receive a bulletin that describes the schedule for testing each day and provides a list of items prohibited at the testing center. Carefully review the rules regarding items such as mobile phones that are prohibited in the testing center, and make sure you don't bring anything with you that isn't allowed. The California Bar exam takes three days. Each of those days begins at 8:30 a.m. and consists of two three-hour testing sessions broken up by a lunch break. To pass the exam, you must have a total scaled score of 1440 points out of a possible 2000 points. Your result letter will include your raw scores on each of the eight parts of the exam, your total raw and scaled written score, your MBE scaled score, and your total scaled score.
A:
Study for the Bar exam. Understand that you probably won't pass. Apply to take the Bar exam. Take the Bar exam. Pass the Bar exam.
