INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The most common platform for trading investments is through a brokerage. You can sign up for a brokerage and use their web platform to buy and sell securities. Generally people use discount brokers, such as eTrade, Ameritrade, and Scottrade, which are either free or relatively cheap.Full-service brokers are the alternative, where you usually get an investment advisor who gives advice on your trading, and you pay significantly more per trade for the service. You can create an online account with the broker you choose, enter your bank account information, and specify the amount of money you want to bring over for trading. When choosing your broker, consider both the amount you want to pay and the level of involvement you plan to have in your investing activity. A full-service broker costs more, but some will even make trades on your behalf based on the strategy you specify. Most people who use full-service brokers are investing large amounts of money, generally over $100,000. This is because of the high cost of paying a full service broker, which is often not cost effective for casual investors. Once you have researched and determined which securities you want to buy, use your broker to purchase them! You will be able to see how much the security costs, and specify how many you want to buy of each. You may want to start small and build up to investing more money just to get the hang of trading. Consider spending one to two weeks trading before investing the rest of the money you have set aside. Once you have made your initial investments, you need to monitor them to watch how they perform. It is fun to watch your investments grow, and you should also watch for problems indicating you should sell. The kind of monitoring you do should be based on your investment strategy, and you should know this in advance. If you are investing in securities for retirement, for a child's education, or some other far-out withdrawal, you should check in on your portfolio at least every six months. If you are investing for mid to short term, check in at least once a month. Read the quarterly statements for the stocks you own, and evaluate whether they are likely to continue providing returns. For day-to-day or very short-term trading, you will likely monitor your investments every day or even every hour. You may learn about new, emerging markets that you want to invest in, or just decide you don't want to keep your investments in the securities you originally chose. Whatever the case, follow your investment strategy, and make changes to your portfolio to reflect that strategy. Resist the urge to sell a security the moment it's value drops below what you paid. Unless you are doing very short-term investing, you should expect to see changes, including drops, in the value of your securities.

SUMMARY: Choose an investment platform. Purchase your selected securities. Monitor your investments. Make changes to your portfolio as necessary.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Prepare one or more slices of Spam using your preferred cooking method and slap it between two pieces of bread. The canned wonder food can also be eaten on a burger as a more substantial alternative to bacon or as the burger patty itself. Pile on crisp lettuce leaves, juicy tomato slices, sweet onion rings, or any other toppings and condiments of choice and dig in. If you're on a low-carb or gluten-free diet, you can even substitute fried slices of Spam for bread to "double down" on your protein intake. First, dice a tin of Spam into 1in (2.5cm) cubes and fry them lightly over medium heat. Once they start to brown up, add 1 cup (100 g) of parboiled potato chunks, along with thin slices of white onion, green bell peppers, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook everything together until it's hot and crisp and enjoy with a steaming mug of coffee or a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice. Crack an egg or sprinkle a handful of shredded cheese on top of your hash as it finishes cooking to make it even more filling. For a last-minute breakfast that doesn't require as much prep, simply toss some cubed Spam in with your scrambled eggs. Spam musubi is a popular Hawaiian snack that has its roots in traditional Japanese cuisine. To see what all the fuss is about, grill or fry a slice of Spam, then pat out a block of sushi rice into the same shape and place it on top. Wrap a sheet of nori (roasted seaweed) around your filling ingredients to hold them together. If you're having trouble getting the nori to stick to stay sealed, wet the pad of your finger and run it along the lower of the 2 overlapping edges before sticking it down. You can also use your leftover rice and nori to make hand-rolled Spam sushi. Trim 1in (2.5cm) slices of Spam into large circles, then cut smaller circles out of the center of the slices. Fry your Spam donuts in a spacious skillet filled with 2 inches (5.1cm) of cooking oil for about 2 minutes per side and allow them to cool for an additional 2-3 minutes before getting your munch on. To keep your frying oil from scorching between batches, use an oil with a high smoke point, like olive, vegetable, canola, or peanut. If you'd like a little more donut with your Spam donuts, dice the canned meat into tiny cubes and mix it by hand into rings of homemade dough to turn it into a filling.

SUMMARY: Eat your Spam on a sandwich or burger. Start your day with a hearty Spam skillet hash. Put together a tasty Spam musubi. Fry up some Spam donuts.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Being able to reach treats immediately is important for training, so the dog learns which behavior is being rewarded. Traditionally, dogs are taught to walk on the left side, so keep the treats in a left pocket or waist pouch. Put a few small treats in your closed fist and walk along with your hand in front of the dog's nose. Every few seconds, pop a treat into your dog's mouth as you continue walking. If the dog runs forward or hangs back, stop and call the dog to you. Continue to call the dog back patiently, until it returns. When it does, tell it to sit, feed it a treat, and praise it. Continue your walk as before, feeding it treats as you do. If the dog starts walking ahead but hasn't lunged to the end of the leash yet, say "Easy." Say "Yes" and give a treat if it responds by turning around and coming back to you. If the dog pulls at the leash to eliminate or to sniff an object, stop and call it back. When it comes, praise it, say "Yes," and let it go where it wants to go. Follow it so the leash stays slack. When you start out, you might just walk up and down the block, so the dog doesn't stop paying attention. Each day, walk a little further. After at least a week of this, straighten up and keep your hand near your pocket of treats, around waist level. Every other step or so, take a treat from your pocket and lower it to the dog. If the dog can walk for several minutes without pulling on the leash, you can slowly increase the number of steps between treats. Try to reach one treat per minute within a couple weeks. Dogs have trouble understanding the purpose of punishment, which makes it an ineffective motivation technique. You should only use these techniques sparingly to discourage unusually bad behavior, not on every walk: Never use these techniques with a choke, pinch, or prong collar, or a head halter. If the dog ignores your commands to slow down and return to you, stop talking and turn back the way you came, tugging at the leash gently. Praise the dog when it catches up to you, then turn around and resume the walk.

SUMMARY:
Keep treats in a pouch or pocket. Feed the dog treats as you walk. Stop and call the dog if it moves away. Grant permission to investigate objects. Gradually increase the duration of the walks. Reduce the number of treats. Use punishment sparingly.
