Apply some glue to the side of the teardrop, from the bottom point up to where it starts to curve into a dome. Press your first petal, tabbed side down, into the glue. Continue gluing the petals, one by one, until you complete your first row. Hot glue sets quickly, so work only one petal at a time. If you look at your teardrop, you will see some gaps between the petals. Fill those gaps with glue, then press more petals into the glue. Coat the bottom portion of the teardrop with glue. Wrap the fringe around it, with the jagged side facing up. The bottom edge should extend past the bottom of the tear drop and onto the stem. Cut off any excess fringe hanging off the side. Gently pinch the bottom part of the fringe, then twist it slightly around the wire. If you need to, secure the twisted part to the wire with a strip of florist's tape. Begin wrapping from the base of the fringe, where the pinched/twisted part is. Continue wrapping all the way to the bottom of the stem. Place the bottom point of the leaf against the stem and pinch it. Give it a slight twist, then secure it with green florist's tape. Repeat this step for all of the leaves you made. You can have them as close together or as far apart as you want. Some daisies are open all the way while others are closed. You can leave your daisy closed, if you want to, or you can gently pull down on the petals to open it up.

Q: Include your name (what you would like them to address you by), your academic background, and your interests. You could say something like, "Good morning class, my name is John Smith, you can call me John or Professor Smith. I received my degree in Communications from XYZ College and my masters from ABC University. I just moved to the area recently and enjoy exploring downtown and going hiking with my dog, Bruce." It's helpful to share details that students can identify with, but be wary of sharing overly personal information. This is also a time you could share any awards you have won, areas of study you are interested in or involved in, publications, or boards you serve on. You want to establish as much credibility as possible. Be welcoming and warm, making sure to look around the room as you introduce yourself. If you are nervous, try looking above the heads of the students instead of making direct eye contact. Move your body and walk around the room if you feel comfortable. Remember that your students see you as the person of authority in the room. Chances are, they won't notice if you are nervous or forget something you had planned to say. Be confident and know that there is always time to cover anything you may have forgotten. While you are giving your introduction, pass out the class syllabus so the students can begin looking it over. You can then refer to it after your personal introduction to share your expectations for the class (attendance, participation, structure, projects). Setting the tone for the class on the first day is an important part of teaching a successful, engaging course. Practice several times before you actually are in front of your students.
A: Greet students and introduce yourself once everyone is seated. Smile and address the entire room as you speak. Pass out a syllabus/class instructions and answer questions.

Article: Choose a board large enough to ensure that you'll have enough space to work. Place your non-dominant hand on an area of the meat away from the bone in order to stabilize the cut. The bone placement might be obvious in some cuts of meat, but you may need to use your knife to trim away some excess fat in order to find the bone. If there are any parts of the meat still attached to the bone, work the center of the blade in a sawing motion until you have freed the meat completely from the bone. Once your meat is fully removed from the bone, use your knife to remove any stray pieces of bone or cartilage that are attached to the cut of meat.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Place the meat in the center of your cutting board. Locate the bone in the cut of meat. Remove the bone from the meat.

Article: You don't have to go this road alone. Even if you don't make business partnerships with your loved ones (which can be a smart idea), you can lean on these people in the beginning (and later, when times are hard). Family and friends can offer powerful emotional support during your entrepreneurial journey. When you're stressed to your limit, this support can make the difference between pushing yourself to succeed and throwing into the well. Talk to your family and make sure they agree with your overall business plan, because you may, at times, have to tax your family's resources, time, money, health, and nerves. It's only fair that they know what they're getting in to. After becoming the boss in your business life, you may feel the temptation to become bossy at home, too. Don't act on this temptation. Keep your business concerns and your family concerns separate - make a rule that you won't discuss your business at dinner, for instance. Having sound knowledge of commercial law (especially contract law, tax law, and the legal requirements for running a small business) is a valuable skill for an entrepreneur to have. If possible, it's a great idea to familiarize yourself with these areas of law, before starting your business. If you're truly confident in these areas of law, you can save money, you, otherwise may have had to spend on legal counsel. You'll also spare yourself from serious headaches when trying to decipher complex business and tax documents. However, if you're not familiar with the law, get help. The money you spend on a lawyer can save you many times your initial investment, for instance, by preventing you from getting into damaging contracts. If you lose your health, you may lose it all. A healthy body, mind, and soul are vital to success as a business owner. Especially in the beginning, the hours may be very long and the work may be very hard. Still, you should always try to devote reasonable amounts of time to exercise, sleep, and "down-time." Treat these things with the value they deserve - they keep you healthy and sane. Remember, if you're incapacitated, you can't run your business. Try to get income protection insurance, especially if your job is one with a risk of injury - a self-employed person cannot afford to lose income to this possibility. Do all things in moderation. Live life with a sense of balance, even when you're starting a business with barely a cent in the bank. Losing your perspective in life will make you poorer in the long run (emotionally - not necessarily financially), so it's never a risk worth taking. Never miss a night's sleep. Don't work yourself to death. Always devote time to your family, your hobbies, and, of course, yourself. Your life should be a source of joy and passion - not just an opportunity to work. Additionally, you should never rely on drugs to aid your performance ability or to replace your regular healthy eating and exercise plans. This will, in the long run, break you down and cause you to make irrational, emotional decisions which are never a good thing in business.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Rely on your family, friends, and loved ones. Know your rights. Look after your physical, mental and emotional state. Get the work-life balance right.
