Article: As with the digital multimeter, it may be marked “OHM” or with an omega (Ω). Red lead to positive (longer) terminal, black lead to negative (shorter) terminal. Analog multimeters use a needle to display their results. How the needle behaves determines whether or not the capacitor is good.  If the needle initially shows a low resistance value then gradually moves to the right, the capacitor is good. If the needle shows a low resistance value and doesn’t move, the capacitor has been shorted out. You’ll need to replace it. If the needle shows no resistance value and doesn’t move or a high value and doesn’t move, the capacitor is an open capacitor (dead).
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Disconnect the capacitor from its circuit. Set your multimeter to its resistance stetting. Connect the multimeter leads to the capacitor terminals. Observe the results.

Problem: Article: You don’t have to wear makeup, but if you do, be sure to apply makeup that works with your glasses. If your glasses have thin frames, opt for thinner eyeliner. Apply thicker liner to balance out thick frames. Try cat-eye style eyeliner to compliment cat-eye style glasses. The geek chic look is best paired with a fresh face. Use concealer to brighten up the area under your eyes, and dab a little blush on your cheeks for a healthy glow. Complicated hairstyles can appear trendy, which might clash with your geek chic look. Instead, opt for simple and casual hairstyles, such as ponytails and messy buns. Curled or straightened hair works, too.  Try wearing your hair with a center part, and tuck it behind your ears. Or, sweep your hair into a messy bun, leaving out your bangs and some flyaways to frame your face. Schoolgirl-style headbands and oversized bows will complete your geek chic hairstyle.  Use a thick ribbon to tie your hair back in a ponytail or bun. If you want to wear your hair down, a simple fabric headband is the perfect compliment.
Summary: Choose makeup that compliments your glasses. Brighten up your complexion. Go for simple hairstyles. Finish it off with a headband or a bow.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will need several items, all of which you can find at most health food stores – beeswax, coconut oil, castor oil, jojoba oil, vitamin E oil, vegetable glycerin and beetroot powder. This recipe will yield about 40mL of lip gloss stain, which will fill four 10mL (or 0.33 fluid ounces) tubes or jars. The exact amounts needed are:  3 grams (or 0.1 ounces) beeswax; 6 grams (or 0.2 ounces) coconut oil; 16 grams (or 0.56 ounces) castor oil; 10 grams (or 0.35 ounces) jojoba oil; 1 gram (or 0.03 ounces) vitamin E oil; 4 grams (or 0.14 ounces) vegetable glycerin; 1 tsp beetroot powder. Put all of the oils the recipe calls for (coconut, castor, jojoba and vitamin E) into a saucepan and melt them together over low heat. Stir until the mixture looks well-blended.  Remove the saucepan from heat and allow to cool. Stir the oils occasionally as you proceed with the rest of the recipe. Stir well to combine the two ingredients. Continue stirring until the mixture is a deep red color and the consistency is that of a thick, viscous liquid. Stir the oils in the saucepan first to test their readiness. It’s ready to mix once it cools slightly and has a thick, creamy consistency. Whisk the red mixture with your creamy oil mixture until well-blended. Once mixed, the substance should appear very thick and dark maroon in hue. The final product will be a vibrant, gorgeous red hue. These make wonderful gifts!  Allow the lip gloss stain to cool fully before using. This product also doubles as a fantastic cheek stain.

SUMMARY: Gather your ingredients. Heat the oils together in a saucepan. Mix the vegetable glycerin and beetroot extract together. Combine the oil mixture with the red mixture. Use a funnel to pour the mixture into your containers.

Before you begin purchasing materials and building your deck stairs, you need to go online, call your local government, or contact a building inspector to make sure you’re following your local building codes. Building codes can vary, so you need to be sure you’re following your local codes or you could face a fine and be forced to remove your deck stairs. Many local governments list their building codes online. The first thing you need to do is find where your stairs will end, or where the landing spot will be. Picture a line running from the edge of your deck down to the ground at a 40-degree angle. Place a tape measure on the ground where you think the stairs will end. It does not have to be measured precisely. The 40-degree slope should start the bottom of the support beam of the deck because this is where the stringers will be attached. Take a 2 in (5.1 cm) by 4 in (10 cm) board and lay it on the top of the deck so it stretches over the landing spot that you estimated. Use a 4 ft (1.2 m) level to make sure the board is level above the landing spot. Use a tape measure to measure from the landing spot on the ground to the bottom of the straight board to find the approximate height, or total rise, of your stairs. Write down the measurements so you can calculate the materials later. Take the measurement you made of the total rise, divide it by 7, and round the number to find the total number of stairs you’ll need for your deck. If you have a number with a decimal that is 0.5 or more, then round the number up. If your number is less than 0.5, then round the number down.  For example, if your total rise was 60 inches (150 cm), then divide that number by 7 to get 8.57. Round that number up to get 9 stairs. Write down this number to use in your calculations. The actual rise, or height, of each step can be calculated by dividing the total rise by the approximate number of stairs. This will tell you how tall each step will be.  For example, if your total rise is 60 inches (150 cm) and your approximate number of steps is 9, divide 60 inches (150 cm) by 9 to get 6.67 inches (16.9 cm) per step. Most building codes say stair risers should not be taller than 7.75 inches (19.7 cm). The treads boards create the part of the stair that you step on. According to many building codes, the stair treads should be at least 36 inches (91 cm) long  10 inches (25 cm) wide. The number of steps you calculated is the number of treads that you’ll need. Stringers are boards that have sawtoothed or stair-shaped notches cut into them and run diagonally along the length of the stairs to support them. To find their length, add together the square of the run, or tread, and the square of the rise. Then take that number, find the square root, and multiply it by the number of steps to find the actual length of the stringers you’ll need. For example, if your tread is 10 inches (25 cm), square 10 by multiplying the number by itself, which gives you 100. If your rise is 7 inches (18 cm), square that number by multiplying it by itself to get 49. Add 100 to 49 to get 149, then find the square root of 149, which is 12.206. Multiply that by the number of steps that you have to find the total length of your stringers.

One-sentence summary --
Check your local building codes regarding deck stairs. Imagine a 40-degree slope to find the landing zone of your stairs. Rest a straight board on the deck and make it level over the landing spot. Measure the total rise from the landing spot to the straight board. Divide the total rise by 7 to find the approximate amount of steps. Find the rise of each step by dividing the total rise by the number of steps. Use tread boards that are at least 10 inches (25 cm) wide. Find the length of the staircase by calculating the length of the stringers.
