Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose the type of investment company. Pick a business structure. Hire a lawyer. Choose a business name. Read investment company business plans. Draft your own business plan.

Answer: There are many types of companies that fall under the heading "investment company." You should pinpoint what exactly you want to create. The most common are the following: Closed-end investment company. You issue shares in a one-time public offering. When investors want to sell, they can sell the shares on a secondary market (e.g., the stock exchange). Open-end investment company. Unlike a closed-end investment company, you'll continuously issue new shares in your company. Clients will buy shares from you and then sell them back to you. Investment companies can be corporations, partnerships, or limited liability companies (LLCs). Each form carries its own risks and benefits, which you should think about carefully. Corporations are owned by shareholders and run by officers appointed by a board of directors. You form a corporation by filing articles of incorporation with the state. A corporation shields its owners from personal responsibility for business obligations, such as debts or lawsuits. Partnerships are owned by the partners, who agree to jointly run a business. Partnerships don't have to file paperwork with the state. However, partners are personally responsible for the partnership's obligations. In some jurisdictions, you can create a limited partnership. The general partner is personally liable for the company's obligations, but its limited partners are not. Limited liability companies are corporation-partnership hybrids. They also shield the owners (called members) from personal responsibility for business obligations. You will need your jurisdiction's permission to form an LLC. Many legal issues will arise, and you should get expert legal advice. Talk to small investment companies and ask if they would recommend their lawyer. (Large investment companies will have their own lawyer in-house). Call up the lawyer and schedule a consultation, where you can discuss your investment company. If you don't have any referrals, contact your local bar association. Ask for a referral to someone experienced with investment companies. Your name should stand out in the marketplace. It should also connect to your values and investing strategy. Good values to promote are stability, integrity, and balance. For example, "Atlas Investing" is effective. You should also check that a name hasn't already been chosen in your jurisdiction. There should be a business entities website you can search. In the U.S., look at your state's Secretary of State's website. You should also confirm no one has trademarked the name. In the U.S., you can search the federal trademark registry. Investment companies are so diverse that it is impossible to generalize what your goals should be. For example, some investment companies focus on certain communities, such as retirees. Other investment companies try to maximize the greatest return possible for their investors. Identify investment companies you want to model yourself after and try to find copies of their business plans. There are also generic plans online that you can read to get the ball rolling. The business plan will help you clarify what you hope to achieve with your investment company and how you intend to reach your goals. A business plan will typically contain the following information: Company summary. Describe the services you will offer and your business type. Identify the amount of capital you will have at the start and your total start-up expenses. Market analysis. Identify the other investment companies you will be competing with and analyze what they do well. Discuss how you will set yourself apart from the competition. Marketing plan. Identify your target consumer based on age, location, gender, education, income, etc. Discuss what promotional efforts you will undertake to reach your target market. Operations and management. Identify the members of management and discuss their experience and education. Financial information. Create projected cash flows, balance sheet, and business ratios. You should also forecast your sales.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create a meal schedule. Pack your lunch the night before. Go for healthy options if you leave campus for lunch. Don't skip a meal. Ask your parents if you can help with the cooking.

Answer: Spend some time planning out your meals with a parent or guardian to ensure you have three meals a day, every day. Focus on lunch meals that are easy to transport, pack well, and are filling, but still healthy. Get a dry erase board or use a word processing program to make a grid for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Then, write the days of the week that you go to school, usually Monday-Friday. Work with a parent to come up with basic meals for a quick breakfast, a healthy and easy to carry lunch, and a filling dinner. You can also use an app on your phone like ZipList, Evernote, and Pepper Plate to create a meal schedule and a shopping list for the grocery store. Making your lunch the night before should be part of your routine, and shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes. If a parent usually packs your lunch, get involved and help him organize the meal and put it in containers or resealable bags. Use leftover food from dinner or from a big batch of prepared food in a different ways, such as leftover BBQ chicken in a wrap or leftover vegetables on whole wheat pasta. Choose restaurants with quick and healthy options. Avoid most fast food restaurants or choose the healthier item if you find yourself at one. Choose salads, wraps, or deli sandwiches. If your friends have a soft spot for fast food, look for the healthier food choices on the menu, like the vegetarian option or a sandwich with a side of salad instead of french fries. Skipping meals signals the metabolism to slow down and burn fewer calories. This is not ideal during a long day of sitting in a classroom. The ideal situation would be to signal the body to ramp up the metabolism and keep it high with healthy, timely snacks throughout the day. Get involved in preparing food and working with your parents in the kitchen. Learn how to cut vegetables properly and how to treat raw food. Ask you parents questions about cooking and preparing food so you can practice your cooking skills. As you help prepare meals, think about healthier ways to make certain dishes. For example, baking or steaming fish instead of frying it, or replacing red meat with other protein options like baked tofu. Helping to cook meals will also allow you to control the portion size on the plates. Limiting your portion sizes to no more than a handful of each dish or type of food will ensure you do not overeat.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose your ripe apricots. Pit the apricots. Separate the halves and turn them inside out. Remove your dehydrator racks. Replace the racks. Wait approximately 12 hours or until the timer goes off. Store dried apricots in sealed glass canning jars.

Answer:
Clean them with fresh water, just as you did in the oven drying method. Slice them along the indentation with a paring knife. Remove the pit and discard. Leave the skins on. You need to press the outside center until the flesh spreads out. Spread the apricots onto the racks with the flesh facing up. Make sure there is space between each piece of fruit for increased airflow. Set the dehydrator at 135 degrees Fahrenheit (57 degrees Celsius). Read your manual to determine if this is the low, medium or high setting on your dehydrator. Larger apricot halves will take longer. Place them in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry. They will last several months.
