Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Gather your materials. Cut your petals. Pinch and glue the petals. Glue the large petals to a base. Glue the smaller petals on. Add the button and a pin.

Answer: For a rose with a button in the middle, you'll need at least a foot of fabric, a hot glue gun, and something to put in the center (like a button, a pin, or a small gem). Cut out 12 petal shapes out of the fabric. Make 6 about an inch long, and 6 a little less than an inch long. For each petal, pinch the base and put a dot glue to secure it like that. First, cut out a small circle from the fabric for the base of the rose. Then glue all of the pinched bases of the petals to the center of the circle. The circle you use for the base should be something around 1" to 2" wide. Glue each of the smaller petals on to their larger counterparts. Be careful not to burn yourself with the glue. You can either glue the petals directly over the large petals or you can place them so that they point out at a different angle. Glue the button or other center piece to the middle of the rose. If you want, you can attach a safety pin to the back of the flower to use it as a brooch.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Place soil in a new pot. Leave the mum in an area with plenty of sun.

Answer: You will need to get a pot for your mum and some potting soil to fill your pot. Look for a potting soil mix that is appropriate for flowers.  If you're planting a mum plant, the pot should be twice as big as the rootball. Add enough soil to make a layer about 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep in the bottom of the pot. If you use any more than that, the plant will sit on top of the soil and be taller than the pot. Any less and there won’t be anything for the plant’s roots to attach to.  If you're planting mum seeds, you can choose the size of your pot - the mums will grow to fill the container. Fill the container with soil to about three inches below the top of the pot. This can be in a very sunny window, or on your front porch if it gets a lot of sun.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Gather supplies. Make an essential oil blend. Mix the essential oils with the vegetable oil and witch hazel (or vodka). Saturate the cloth or sponge with the mixture. Open the lid to use the repellent. Replenish the oil every few uses.

Answer: This outdoor fly repellent can be placed in the center of your patio table to repel flies throughout the day and evening. It's a simple mix of essential oils and a carrier oil that will help diffuse the scent into the air, naturally keeping flies away. Here's what you'll need:  A small tin with a lid. A small coffee can, mint tin or cough drop tin would work. A clean piece of cloth or a dish sponge. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. 2 tablespoons witch hazel (or vodka, if you don't have witch hazel). 100 drops essential oils. Several essential oils have properties that keep flies away. They also work well on mosquitoes and other pests. Essential oils can be found at health food stores or ordered in bulk online. You can use 100 drops of the same oil, or a blend of any of the following:   Lavender oil - lavender is considered to be particularly effective against flies. It has many other household uses as well.    Citronella oil - this ingredient is commonly used in candles meant to keep flies and other bugs away.   Eucalyptus oil - another great essential oil you can use around the house for all types of purposes.   Peppermint oil - this is likely more effective against mosquitoes  but also considered to work against horse flies. Pour all of the ingredients together into a bowl, and stir until combined. Diluting the essential oils will keep them from immediately evaporating and help them diffuse into the air.  All essential oils should be diluted before use; especially if you want to apply them directly to your skin. Use an extra 1/2 teaspoon of vodka in the mixture will help preserve it for a second use. Place the cloth in the tin and pour the mixture inside so that it completely saturates the cloth or sponge. Place the cloth in the tin and shut the lid. Allow to sit for 24 hours. Whenever you need to use the tin, remove the lid and place on the entertaining table. Make as many as you wish to put around the entertaining area to deter flies. Once open to the air, the strength weakens and needs to be topped up. Sprinkle more essential oils inside, or make another blend.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Market your business. Hire additional staff. Implement a quality control program. Open a new branch. Expand your niche.

Answer:
This is a very personal business that thrives on interaction. Because most of your income will come from commissions, you will need to constantly find and add new customers. Referrals, first from friends and family, then other customers, are vitally important to bringing in new business. There are a number of ways to  promote your business beyond basic networking. Make sure you have a strong online presence on sites like LinkedIn and Google Plus, as well as service review sites like Angie’s List. You should also develop your own website, and look for ways to get your name into the community through newspaper articles and public forums. There will always be a market for people who want information on buying a home. As your company grows, you may want to hire additional brokers, loan officers or loan processors. With a bigger staff, you may need to hire human resource and payroll services. As you expand, make sure you keep track of your business’ and employees’ tax information. Make sure your workers fill out both the I-9 Form (for employment eligibility) and W-4 Form (for taxation). Keep all your employees' tax forms filed for easy reference. Granting mortgages is a complicated and expensive process, one you will want to get right. As your company grows it is important that you make sure your processes are covering all the necessary requirements for yourself, the bank, and your clients. This is something that is good to do regularly to ensure a quality process, rather than waiting until issues begin to arise.  Take a random sampling of your mortgage applications, and check to make sure that they have been filled out appropriately, that the information in them can be properly verified, and that they fulfill requirements for federal and state regulations as well as your business’ best practices. This needs to be a traceable and repeatable process, so you should have clearly defined steps for carrying out quality control. These steps should include written steps that detail what was reviewed and what the reviewer found. If your business is going well, and you want to reach new clients in another part of town, or in a different town, you can open up a new office. Find a location near where you expect to get business, and start advertising locally. States may have different requirements for opening new offices. New York, for example, requires a separate fee and license for each branch office, while Georgia only requires the new branch to register without needing an additional license. If your company can develop a strong reputation for the quality of your work, you may consider expanding the kinds of mortgages you offer. This reputation is important because of the personal nature of the mortgage business. If people trust you to steer them in the right direction, they will be more willing to consider different products or services.
