Summarize the following:
Run away and quickly climb or jump over the nearest fence, gate, cattle guard (also called a "cow grid" or "Texas gate"), or even up a sturdy tree.   Bulls can outrun people so make sure your escape route is a short one. The best thing you could do is if there's no place to hide or if you're out in the middle of a pasture, to either side-step the bull and run in the opposite direction, or face the bull, yell (or scream) as loud as you can and give the bull the hardest hit across the face or muzzle as you possibly can give with the weapon in your hand.  Depending on your level of adrenaline, you may find yourself doing this more than once, especially if you have the big fellow come running at you. This may (and does) sound cruel, but it is a practice that has been done by many farmers and ranchers when they have to deal with a dangerous bull that has charged them or is about to do so! You can either stand your ground until the bull backs off and then chase him, or hit and run. Very often a really hard hit to the muzzle or nose is enough to make him stop chasing after you! If none of this can be had, throw the back-pack off your back as you go (if you have one), or even your shirt or jacket if you are fast enough to take it off.  Be aware though, that a bull is much faster than you in both speed and reaction time, and often you won't have enough time to take your shirt off and throw it at the bull.

summary: Find a safe spot quickly. If you can't find an escape route either side-step and run for it, or hit back, hard. Count your lucky stars if you managed to get away without getting injured or killed.


Summarize the following:
A regular soldering iron with a pointed tip will still work, but something with a flat, wide tip (like a flat-head screwdriver) will get the job done faster.  You may be able to rent a soldering iron from a hardware store. A wood burning tool will also work just fine for this. Choose one with a wide, flat tip. How you do this and how long it takes for it to heat up depends on what you have. Some soldering irons plug into the wall while others are battery-operated. Most soldering irons only need a few minutes to heat up. Work on the next step while the soldering iron heats up to save time. Do not cut the mesh with scissors. Simply measure out how much you want to cut, then set it down on a hard, heat-safe surface. If you need to, draw a "cutting" guideline with a marker across the mesh.  You don't want to cut the mesh because it will fray. The surface must be hard, otherwise the soldering iron won't cut through the mesh. It must be heat-safe too, otherwise you'll create a fire hazard. The wider edge of the iron's tip should be parallel to the end of the mesh. This way, you'll have more surface area to "cut" with. Hold it there for a few seconds until it melts through the fibers.  Deco mesh is composed of lengthwise and widthwise fibers. Place the tip between 2 widthwise fibers. Gently rock the iron back and forth to help it "cut" through the mesh. Start on the edge of the deco mesh. It does not matter if it's on the left or right side. Lift the soldering iron and move it across the mesh to the next un-cut segment. Press it down again, and rock it back and forth until it cuts through the mesh. Keep doing this until you reach the other side of the mesh. The heat of the iron will cause the fibers to melt and separate. The hot plastic will bind to itself and prevent fraying.

summary: Purchase a soldering iron with a wide tip. Turn the soldering iron on. Set your deco mesh on a hard, heat-safe surface. Press the tip of the soldering iron against the deco mesh. Work your way across the deco mesh.


Summarize the following:
Students are going to follow your lectures more if they see you using certain technological tools. You should become aware of what materials your classroom provides and be able to use them correctly. Some of these may include:  Smartboards Computer projectors Programmed slide shows (PowerPoint, etc.) Students are surrounded by technology, and they should be encouraged to use the tools that are available to them. In teaching math, you need to combine adequate memorization and understanding along with the use of technology. Students should be taught to use such tools as:  Graphing calculators Smartboards iPads and other tablet accessories Students who habitually forget to write down homework assignments or who lose or forget their notebooks can be encouraged to enter assignments into their cell phone calendars. This is more likely to assure that the assignment at least makes its way home. You can also encourage your students to do their homework if you allow the use of certain support apps. Research the Internet for a wide variety of math homework apps that you might recommend to your students.  Homework apps, if used improperly, can cut into student learning. But if you research the apps carefully and direct your students’ work, you can make the most of the available tools. MetaCalculator and WolframAlpha are two useful apps you may want to investigate. Particularly in teaching math, you need to ask if the apps are adding to the learning experience or taking away from it. There are some apps, such as one called Photomath, that will actually show students the answers to their homework problems. While this could look like cheating, you need to require that students be able to explain their answers and the steps they perform. In this way, students who need help at home can use the app for guidance. In the end, however, they should know that you will be checking for their overall understanding.
summary: Use appropriate technology for teaching. Allow students to use appropriate tools. Use apps or smart phones for homework. Emphasize that technology is a tool to assist learning.
