Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use craft foam for durability. Heat the mask. Shape the mask. Spray the mask with a sealant. Decorate the mask. Reseal the mask.

Answer: If you’re designing a mask that you want to last a little longer - for example, if you’re using it for Comi-Con or cosplaying - use craft foam. It’s very pliable but will also hold its shape well once it’s set. If you’re using craft foam, you’ll need to make it pliable by holding it over heat. This could be an open flame on your stove or the heat from a hair dryer. You should only need to hold the mask over the heat for a few seconds. Once you feel the foam become pliable in your hand, it's ready for the next step. One benefit of craft foam is that you can use it to create a mask that’s really durable but also fits your face well. Once the foam is warm and pliable, press the mask to your face to shape it to your exact features. You can also use a Styrofoam head – like the kind available at craft stores for designing wigs – to shape your mask. Press the mask onto the Styrofoam head and hold it there with crafters’ tape. If you’re using craft foam, you’ll want to spray the mask with a sealant like Mod Podge, which will help the mask keep its shape and durability. Let the sealant dry completely before you begin to decorate the mask. You can use pretty much any decorating supplies to decorate a craft foam mask. You can spray paint it, add other fabrics or things like sequins, or paint it with craft pain. If you’re using craft foam, you’ll want to reseal the mask with Mod Podge again to protect the paint and make the mask more durable.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn what a "silent migraine" is. Know who's most at risk. Watch for the symptoms. Distinguish a silent migraine from a retinal migraine.

Answer: A silent migraine is when you have a migraine, but you skip the pain part of the process. In other words, you have other symptoms such as aura, but you don't actually get a headache. You may also go through the preliminary phases that many migraine sufferers go through, which are symptoms that warn of an oncoming migraine.  These types of migraines are referred to by many names, including a migraine aura without headache, an acephalgic migraine, an amigranous migraine, or a migraine equivalent. These types of migraines are treated similarly to other types of migraines. Generally, you're more at risk for silent migraines if you had migraines with auras in your teens or 20s. Because silent migraines are still migraines, they tend to show up in people who've had migraines with auras in the past. The main symptoms of a silent migraine are auras, which can include vision changes such as halos or spots in your vision, blurry vision, cloudy vision, or shimmering vision. You might also see dark areas, flashes, or odd 3D effects.  You may also find you have problems with speech. Other aura symptoms include feeling tingling or numbness, feeling like you're on pins and needles, feeling weak or clumsy, and/or feeling dizzy or off-balance. You may also have mood swings, a loss of memory, hearing loss, stomach troubles, and/or confusion. Some people even get hiccups or have a distorted image of their bodies. Others may have less sensitivity to touch or hypersensitivity. Silent migraines are sometimes referred to as "ocular migraines" or "retinal migraines." However, these conditions are not interchangeable. Ocular migraines refer to silent migraines that affect the vision. Retinal migraines, however, are different. They usually only affect one eye at a time, causing blurriness or even temporary blindness. If you experience migraine-like symptoms in one eye only, you should see an eye specialist.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Transfer the cold cookies into an airtight plastic bag. Store the cookies in multiple bags if they won’t fit in a single layer. Place the airtight bag into the freezer for up to 5 months. Thaw the cookies at room temperature for 15 minutes. Keep your thawed cookies in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

Answer: Wait until the cookies feel cool to touch. This will stop them from creating condensation in the plastic bag and going soggy. Choose a bag that is sealable and large enough for the cookies to sit in a single layer.  A sealed bag will stop the cookies from absorbing other flavours and having a funny smell. Freeze the cookies unfrosted and add the frosting once the cookies have thawed. This will keep the icing looking and tasting its best. If there are too many cookies to lie in 1 flat layer, split the cookies between a few sealable bags. This will stop the cookies from sticking together. Over time the cookies will start to lose their flavour. Eat the cookies within 5 months to ensure that they taste their best. Write the date on the bag with a permanent marker so that you can work out how long the cookies have been in the freezer for. Remove the cookies from the sealed bag and place them on a plate to cool. Devour the delicious cookies once they are completely thawed.  If there are flies around, cover the cookies with a clean linen cloth while they thaw. If you want to warm a cookie up, simply place it in the microwave for 10 seconds. Chances are that you’ll eat the cookies pretty quickly, however, if there are some left, keep them in a sealed container. This will help them keep their original texture and stay fresh. Throw the cookies away after 7 days as the dairy products in the cookies will be past their best.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Draft a list of industry buzzwords. Identify how you want consumers to see you. Pick four adjectives to describe your target market. Boil your business down to its essence. Choose a unique name. Create a mashup name. Shorten your names. Pick a name that works in harmony with your brand.

Answer:
What are the five or six defining features of your industry? Read industry publications or online articles for help, and write up a list of words. These words can help you come up with a brand name. For example, the following buzzwords might describe the tech industry: agile, explosive, change, connect. Come up with a list of adjectives you want consumers to associate with your brand name. These adjectives can be your company’s values or the emotions and experiences you want consumers to have.  For example, an auto body shop might want consumers to feel relief, transparency, speed, and dependability. A new tech startup might want consumers to experience connection, curiosity, and excitement. Who are you trying to appeal to? Identify your ideal consumer’s style, income, interests, and level of sophistication. Young millennials and members of Generation Z will be drawn to different brands than their parents and grandparents. Furthermore, high-income people probably have different tastes than lower-income people. Avoid generalities. Not all millennials are hip and edgy. For example, you might be trying to appeal to young mothers. In that situation, your audience might be fresh, optimistic, stylish, and seeking stability. Look at your list of adjectives. Do they share something in common? Find a common thread and use that as your brand name. Your name can’t be a string of adjectives. For example, the adjectives for a children’s clothing shop might be “optimistic,” “growing,” and “new,” all of which suggest new beginnings and a bright future. “Sunrise” or “Sunshine” might capture this essence. Your name needs to stand out in the marketplace, particularly on the web. No one can find you if you name yourself “Hammer” or “Elastic.” True, Apple is the name of a famous company, but it would be hard for them to break out today without major money spent on marketing.  Instead of “Hammer,” chose something slightly different: “Crushers.” You might combine words to create a name. For example, Groupon combined “group” and “coupon.” This is an easy way to pick a unique name that always conveys key information about your brand. Names must be easy to remember, so try to make them as short as possible! Ideally, your name should be one word, though that might not be possible. Instead of “We’re Open from Seven to Eleven,” one business named itself “7-11.” Which would you remember? 7-11 is a great name because it also communicates the company's defining characteristic: they are open from 7 in the morning until 11 at night. Your brand is much more than your business name. It also includes your logo and the color schemes you use on your products, website, and packaging. All of these elements must create a unified impression. For example, you might love the dark blue colors your web designer has used on your website. If so, then “Sunshine” probably isn’t a good brand name. Something will need to change—either the website or your brand name.
