Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick your eyes or your mouth.

Answer: Although evening makeup can be more dramatic, you don't want to end up looking like a clown. It's all about balance.  A good rule of thumb is to pick either the eyes or the mouth to dramatize. Dark smoky eyes? Choose a neutral lip. Dark red lips? Choose a lighter palette for the eyes. You don't want your eyes and lips to be competing for attention when people look at you. Choosing one or the other to highlight is a more sophisticated choice, usually.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Clean the piercing frequently. Rinse your piercing with saline solution twice a day. Keep your hands clean. Avoid tight clothing around the piercing. Refrain from pools, hot tubs, or the gym for 2-3 days after the piercing. Know that all new piercings become inflamed for several days. Do not remove the jewelry if you are worried about an infection.

Answer: Using warm water and soap, apply a washcloth to gently wash out your new piercing. Keeping dirt, grime, and bacteria away from the wound should be enough to prevent infection.  Be sure to clean the piercing after exercise, going outside, cooking, or cleaning. Rubbing alcohol, though it kills bacteria, will dry out your skin and potentially cause an infection. While you could buy saline at the piercing parlor, you can also make it at home with only 2 ingredients. Mix 1/8 tablespoon of non-iodized sea salt into a cup of distilled water and stir until it dissolves. Submerge your piercing in the saltwater, or soak a clean cotton swab in the water and apply it to the piercing for 20 minutes twice a day. Dirty hands are the number one cause of infection, so always wash your hands before touching or treating your piercing. If you have a piercing that is constantly rubbing on your clothes, wear looser clothing. This is especially true for navel, genital, nipple, or other body piercings. These places are hot-spots of moisture and bacteria that commonly lead to infections. Your piercing is an open wound and it will absorb bacteria much more readily then unbroken skin. Don’t freak out if you see redness or soreness in the first few days after a piercing. This is your body’s normal response to a puncture. Inflammation is common and can be easily treated with an ice-pack and ibuprofen. If the inflammation lasts for more than 3-5 days, however, you may be developing an infection. While it may seem counterintuitive, you should avoid removing the jewelry if you notice signs of active infection, such as pus, since removing the jewelry can cause the piercing to close up and trap the infection inside your body. It's important that the piercing remain open so that it can drain; otherwise, you may develop an abscess or worsen the existing infection.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try progressive rocks. Corté. Add swivels and turns. If you're a leader, plan ahead. If you're following, feel your partner's weight. Know that there's beauty in simple.

Answer: In American style tango, progressive rocks are where you rock back and forth moving your weight from foot to foot instead of taking a step. So in the basic step we talked about, instead of quick, quick being two steps in one direction, it's one step and then rocking your weight forward. Clear as mud, yeah? If you're leading, you're taking a two steps forward on quick, quick. Instead, take one step forward, and then throw your weight back onto your back foot (without moving it). If you're following, it's the opposite: step back on quick, and then move your weight forward on the second step. With progressive rocks and cortés, you can get two moves in one. The corté is the same as a progressive rock but on the first two steps (slow, slow). To give it more oomph, make sure your strides are long and fluid. Now have you and your partner facing the side -- this is called the promenade. Instead of thinking forward and back, you're thinking to the left or right. This way you can add in swivels and turns. In most tango forms, the follower (or woman) does most of the dirty work, but men can get in on the action, too!  Let's say, as partner B, you take two steps to the right (slow, slow). Immediately after that second step (and before the third), throw your torso to face the left. Then you resume moving backward. Swivel check! For turns, the leader turns toward his partner 180 degrees on the first quick step and the one following steps between his feet. Now we're getting fancy! It would seem like leading is easier -- being able to read someone's mind is no easy feat -- but leading has its own perils, too. You always have to plan a step ahead and know where you want the dance to take you. So while you're working your way around the circle, think 8 steps into the future. You get to have the peace of mind that you just have to go with the flow. But going with the flow can be a little disconcerting if you don't trust. The easiest way to know that you're capable of depending on your partner is to feel their weight. Feel where it's going. Feel where it is between the moves. Balance with them. It'll take you with it. You can do all the fancy moves you want, but if you and your partner don't have that synchronicity, that gel, that essence is the tango, it doesn't matter. Don't feel pressured to spice it up. Stick to what you feel. Keep it simple, master the simple, and the rest will come. Have you ever seen an old couple that just walks a simple dance together? How moving it is because you can see how they just get it? That. That is what you're aiming for.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use polite words and phrases to show respect. Avoid touching when greeting someone of a different gender. Shake hands when greeting someone of the same gender formally. Place your right hand on your heart to greet someone warmly. Touch noses or kiss cheeks with people you know well. Greet an elder with a kiss on the forehead.

Answer:
In any language, minding your manners shows respect. Using polite words and phrases in Arabic, even if you don't know any other words in the language, communicates that you respect Arab culture. Some words to learn include:  "Al-ma'dirah": Excuse me (if you're asking someone to move) "Aasif": Sorry "Miin faadliikaa": Please "Shukran": Thank you "Al'afw": Reply to "thank you" Traditionally, men and women do not touch each other at all when greeting, unless they are close family members. Some women are willing to shake hands with men, particularly in more formal contexts. However, if you are a man, you should let the woman take the lead.  Stand away from the woman as you greet her. If she is willing to shake your hand, she will extend her hand to you. Don't automatically extend your hand first. If she clasps her hands together or places her right hand over her heart, that is an indication that she isn't willing to shake hands but is nonetheless pleased to meet you. When greeting someone of the same gender as you in a formal context, such as in a professional environment or for school, shaking hands is common. It's still a good idea to let the other person take the lead and offer their hand first. Always shake with your right hand, never your left. The left hand is considered unclean in Arab culture. Placing your right hand over your heart indicates that even though you're not going to touch the person, you're still quite pleased to meet them. If you have Arabic friends of a different gender, this is an appropriate way to greet them. Because men and women who aren't related to each other typically don't touch each other when greeting, this gesture is a way to signify your attachment to the person you're greeting without hugging or kissing them. In Arabic culture, touching noses is not considered a particularly intimate gesture and is frequently done between two men as well as between two women. Another gesture popular in some areas is to place 3 kisses on the other person's right cheek. These gestures are typically never appropriate with someone of a different gender unless you are related to them and have a very close relationship. Even then, many Arabs would not consider such a greeting appropriate in public. Elders are greatly respected in Arabic culture. A kiss on the forehead honors them and shows them respect. Reserve this gesture for elders you know well, or who are related to someone you know well. For example, if your Qatari friend introduces you to his grandmother, you might kiss her on the forehead when greeting her.
