Let the oven heat completely before you place your steel inside. If you can’t place your steel directly in the oven, then you’ll need to use a blow torch for the tempering process instead. Use a smaller toaster oven if your piece of steel fits inside. That way, you can still use your oven for the rest of the evening. Set your steel directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Let your oven heat the piece of steel. During the tempering process, the steel heats up enough to soften the alloys inside to make it less brittle. Once the steel’s been heated for 3 hours, let the steel cool slowly. This allows the steel to normalize and keep its hardened structure. Take the steel out of the oven the following morning. If you tempered the steel with a blow torch, set the metal on an anvil or another large steel surface to conduct the heat.

One-sentence summary -- Preheat your oven to 375 °F (191 °C). Put your steel inside the oven for 3 hours. Turn off the oven and let the steel cool inside it overnight.

Q: Perhaps a former client was very pleased with your work and would be willing to make a call to the decision maker for your current bid. You could also ask a former client to post a review on such online sites as Angie's List. Your bid should include these references, particularly if they are for similar work. If you are writing a bid proposal in response to a Request for Proposal, be sure to answer all questions and content requirements set forth in the document. In addition to references, most proposals include an executive summary, a documented explanation of work entailed in the bid proposal and other contractual information that makes it more specific than just a bid.  For example, your executive summary for the windows project could state "Windows in a Day, Inc. has been selling and installing top quality windows in both commercial and residential properties for the past 20 years. All work is guaranteed to last for 10 years." The work section could state "Install 20 windows, part number WI2379,  at 100 Main St, Anytown, MA. Remove and dispose of current windows. Repair all rotted wood along the window frames." Keep track of bids that were won in the past and look for trends. Perhaps you won more with small vs. large businesses, the bid amounts were relatively small, or they were long vs. short term projects. Also find out who you are losing to and the reasons why.
A: Ask former clients to recommend you. Follow all directions and requirements. Analyze successes and failures.

Article: Over the course of the day, makeup, dirt, and oil build up on your face. Make cleansing your skin part of your bedtime routine.  Use makeup remover. Not only does this prevent it from clogging up your pores and causing breakouts while you sleep, it also stops you from smearing bacteria on your pillow — where it can get into your skin night after night. Use a gentle soap.  Remember that you want to clean your skin, not completely strip it of all oils — if it feels tight and dry after washing, you're using something too strong. Avoid the eye area; the skin around the eye can be too delicate for most cleansers. Rinse off by splashing water on your face.  Using a washcloth or rag to roughly wipe your skin clean can irritate it more.  Instead, bend your face over the sink, cup your hands together, and bring up small amounts of water to splash over your face.  About 10 splashes should do it. Pat dry.  Don't roughly rub your skin dry with a towel.  Instead, dry it with small, gentle pats or let it air dry. A toner removes excess oil and dirt from your skin that the soap missed, in addition to closing your pores.  Not everyone needs to use a toner, but some people find it helpful.  Put a few drops onto a cotton ball or pad.  Swipe it lightly over your skin. Only use astringent if your skin is exceptionally oily.  Astringent is a stronger type of toner that can be up to 60% alcohol.  If your skin tends to be dry, using astringent could actually cause acne by driving your oil glands to overcompensate. Witch hazel is a natural alternative to buying synthetic toner/astringent. Consider applying toner to only the areas of your skin that tend to break out.  For instance, you might only use it on your nose or forehead. Using lotion in the morning acts as a primer for your makeup, helping it "stick" to your face throughout the day.  Moisturizing at night helps your skin repair itself and stave off wrinkles.  Bottom line, it's one of the best things you can do for glowing skin over the long term.  Consider using a lighter moisturizer during the day.  If you're prone to breakouts, use a light or gel moisturizer. Don't forget your neck and décolletage.  These areas can get super dry and irritated if you never moisturize them. If your skin tends to be dry and flaky, a weekly exfoliation can clear out dead skin cells.  Find an exfoliant that has a super fine grain, and don't rub it roughly into your skin — use light pressure and gentle motions.  A simple scrub of sugar mixed with honey makes a great exfoliator. Rinse it off with warm water. You could also exfoliate with a dry brush made for the face. Brush your face using small, circular motions. Acne-prone skin can be exfoliated 2-3 times a week. A chemical exfoliant is often best for acne-prone skin. Avoid leathery, tough skin by applying a light sunscreen every time you plan to be outside.  The lack of sun damage will keep your skin dewy and supple for years to come.  Remember, it only takes 15 minutes to get a sunburn, so be prepared.  Stick to SPF 30 — anything higher doesn't have much more benefit. Search the makeup aisle for spray-on sunscreens that are light and dry. Use a foundation or tinted moisturizer with sunscreen, so your face is already covered.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Wash your face at night. Apply toner. Smooth on some moisturizer. Exfoliate once a week. Protect your skin from the sun.

Article: They’re sold at most pharmacies and beauty supply stores, and there are a ton of different brands and styles on the market. If your goal is to make them look natural, you want to avoid the dramatically long, the unnaturally spiky, and the outrageously full ones. If you want them to look real, bigger is not necessarily better. Choose a pair that look like your dream natural eyelashes. If you can’t find any that look natural in the store, check online. You will endless options if you order online, and you can also read reviews from others who have tried particular brands or styles. For most people, your false eyelashes won’t be ready to go right out of the box. First, you’ll need to trim them so that they fit your own, unique eye perfectly. Before applying any glue to them, hold them up to your eyelid and determine how much you’ll need to trim off the end. Use small scissors to carefully cut the lashes. The finished lash strip should be the same length as your natural lashes. If you skip this step, the extra length will rub against your skin as you blink and cause the eyelashes to come loose. Not to mention they won’t look very natural! There is a bit of a debate about which eyelash glue is best, so you can weigh your options. Some pairs of eyelashes come with glue, but often you’ll need to buy your own. Eyelash glue is sold at pharmacies and beauty supply stores in small tubes that you can use for many applications.  The most common type of eyelash glue comes out of the tube white and then dries clear. If you’re skilled at applying false eyelashes, you can apply them carefully and avoid any clumps of glue showing. You can also purchase black eyelash glue. This works well if you line your lash line with dark eyeliner before applying your lashes, because any black glue will blend into it.
