Article: The correct side depends on your particular saw. Typically, you want to line up the marble with the right side of the blade. If you use the wrong side, you may cut the slab too short by mistake. The blade cuts off about 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm), so ensure the 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm) comes from your scrap side and not the piece you're using.  To tell which side of the blade is correct, make a practice cut on a scrap piece of marble. Make sure to keep the marble clamped down so that it can't move while you make the cut. A hand clamp with soft pads is a good option for safely keeping your marble in place. The faster you move the marble through the blade, the more likely the slab will chip, splinter, or break. To prevent this, always make your cuts slowly, and let the machine do the work for you.  If you start to see smoke as you cut, slow down. Try sawing a small section, then pulling the saw back a little before you begin the next small section. If you want to test out how cutting at different speeds affects the marble, make a few slices on a practice slab before you cut the final piece. Cut the marble with the finished side facing downwards onto your piece of foam. Turn on the saw when you are ready to use it, feed the marble slowly into the saw until you reach about 1–3 in (2.5–7.6 cm), and then stop. Making a small cut on the back of the marble ensures the slab does not chip or break. If you don't do this, the end of your tile may break off while you finish the slice. Once you've made a small slice to the back, turn the slab over so the finished side faces upwards. Then, start making your cut on the opposite end of the slab. Continue cutting the rest of the way through the slab to ensure your cut is clean and even. If you're cutting a very thin slab of marble, like the kind you'd use to cover a shower wall, there's no need to flip the marble and make 2 cuts. Just make a single cut straight through with a diamond circular saw blade. To prevent any accidents, keep your saw turned off when not in use. Do this whether you are finished working on your project or cutting multiple pieces of marble. If you are cutting multiple slabs, turn it off until you are ready to make the next cut. Since the diamond blade cuts the marble so smoothly, there may be jagged or sharp pieces on the edges. Use wet or dry sandpaper to manually smoothen the edges if you'd like. Start with 120-grit sandpaper to soften the edges at first, and then use 2500-grit sandpaper for an extra-smooth finish.  If you use a coarse sandpaper, you'll scratch the marble. To wet your sandpaper, hold it under your faucet for 3-5 seconds. Using wet sandpaper may make it easier to sand the stone surface. For an automatic option, try using an angle grinder to quickly smoothen the marble. However, you may have less control over the sanding process if you use a machine. Another option is to use an orbital sander. Once you've cut the marble into the basic shape that you want, you may wish to make further adjustments. With a grinder, you can:  Cut holes. Make sink cutouts. Create beveled edges.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Align the piece of marble with the correct side of the blade. Aim to cut the marble slowly and carefully to avoid cracks or breakage. Make a 1–3 in (2.5–7.6 cm) cut with the back of the marble facing up. Flip over the marble slab and continue cutting the rest of the way. Turn off your machine after you make your cut. Clean up any jagged edges with dry or wet fine-grit sandpaper. Use a grinder with a dry cut diamond wheel to add finishing touches.
Article: This is something that you can show potential clients to demonstrate your skills.  You should make several different types of websites: one for displaying images such as artwork or photos and videos, one for a business and another for a blog, hobby, or interest. These types of websites are what you will commonly encounter as a web developer. Create a mock business page including the type of business it is, what products and services are sold, images of potential work, a products and services page, and contact page. Make your own personal website, including what types of programming you are familiar with, your rates, and links to any websites you have worked on or created. This will allow clients to see your work. Build a blog site where users can use an interface to add content. Work with various languages so your potential clients can see what you can work with. Hand them out at events.  Make sure you have a link to a personal or business website for your freelance web development. Provide contact information on your card. Provide links to websites you have worked on so potential clients can see your work. Create a page about your business and what kinds of web development you specialize in.  Just like a business website, this is a very important step in getting business for yourself. Try making a Facebook page for your business, and include what types of programming you can do, your rates for services, and your contact information. Create a Twitter account and give updates and links to sites you are working on. Make sure you have a Google + page or blog about what you are working on and doing with web development. Use LinkedIn to communicate with other industry professionals. Once you are comfortable with doing a wide range of web development services, you should advertise widely.  Make an ad on Craigslist under the Services page for your area. Make sure to include links to sites you have worked on and some contact information. Try taking an ad out in local newspapers and magazines. This might get your business some local development from local social groups, charities, and business owners looking to build or improve their websites.

Article: Rinse the vegetables in cold water, making sure to scrub off any lingering dirt. Washing the vegetables also ensures that you won’t eat the bacteria and pesticides on the surface of the vegetables. Pat the vegetables dry with paper towels. Using a cutting board and a sharp knife, cut your vegetables up so they are the size you would like them to be when you use them in a recipe. You can also freeze whole vegetables if you are not sure what recipe you are going to be using them for. Many cooks recommend blanching your vegetables before freezing them. Blanching is when vegetables are briefly cooked in boiling water so they still retain their crispiness but are cooked through. Bring a pot of water to a boil. When the water is boiling, put the vegetables in, and cook for several minutes. Take the vegetables out of the boiling water and place them in the ice water. This process is called shocking the vegetables. Drain the vegetables.
