Problem: Article: Especially if you don't have a lot of PowerPoint experience, using the free templates that are available with the application can save you a lot of technical hassle. The focus of your preparation should be on the content itself, not tech wizardry.  You can customize the templates, but don't spend too much time on this. Keep your slides as simple as possible so your audience will pay attention to the content of the slide and not be distracted by fancy graphics. Black and white can be hard for your audience to focus on, especially if the lights in the room are dim. Opt instead for a black or dark blue background, with an off-white or cream-colored text. The title slide is the first slide of your presentation, and introduces the purpose of your presentation to your audience. Use a clear, readable font in at least 24pt type so that it can be seen from a distance.  Your title should be as brief and descriptive as possible. If you have a related image, that can liven up a title page. For example, if you are pitching a product you invented, your title slide might include a picture of your product. However, if the image is simply decorative and unrelated to your presentation, leave it off. Don't include any specifics on your title page, other than the title of your presentation and perhaps your own name. You need at least 1 slide for each of the 3 or 4 main points you've identified. Each of these slides should look roughly the same as your title page, using the same color scheme and font for consistency. If you have sub-points you want to emphasize on your slide, make a bullet list under the main point. However, keep them brief. You want as few words on the slide as possible, so your audience is listening to you – not reading the slide. If you have graphs, charts, or other illustrations, give them their own slides. Add them behind the main point they relate to, being careful that the slide doesn't look too busy and isn't difficult to read.  Generally, you want to avoid having more than 3 or 4 things for your audience to look at on any given slide. A simple line or bar graph is fine, because you're only looking at the relationship between 2 things. For more complex data or illustrations, you may be better served by providing a handout, or directing your audience to a website where they can get more details. A glaring typo or technical error on a slide can derail even the most powerful presentation. In addition to going through your slides several times yourself, you may want to have someone else look at them as well. Their fresh eyes may see something you glossed over. If you have any handouts or other materials, make sure these are free of errors as well. After you've done all that hard work preparing your slides, you want to make sure you'll be able to use them. Unless you already know what technological resources will be available in the room on the day of your presentation, have multiple formats ready in case one isn't available. Email yourself a copy of your presentation so that if you can't get your laptop or tablet to work with the display software, you can open your presentation on a computer that does work. You don't have to be an expert on presentation programs, such as PowerPoint or KeyNote, to create a powerful and effective presentation. However, if you're going to use a program in your presentation, make sure you can start it up and move through the slides without difficulty.  If you set the presentation to run automatically, make sure you've rehearsed and that your slides won't jump ahead of you. If this happens during your presentation, it will be distracting at the least, and may cause you to get flustered.

Summary: Search for free templates. Start with a title slide. Prepare slides for your main points. Add supporting slides as needed. Proofread your slides carefully. Back up your presentation and save it in multiple formats. Refresh your knowledge of the basics.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are recently remarried or have had more children, then you should account for your new spouse and children in the will.  Typically, any gift to a former spouse is revoked automatically on divorce. Nevertheless, you should draft a new will to redistribute any gifts formerly designated for your ex-spouse to new beneficiaries. The general rule today is that a prior will is not automatically revoked because you are married. Instead, your spouse would take an “intestate” share, meaning the share he or she would have gotten had you died without a will. If you want to make a specific bequest of a newly acquired piece of property, such as a boat or a new home, then you can name a beneficiary in the addendum.  If you are dividing your estate equally between beneficiaries—or leaving everything to one person—then you do not need to draft an addendum simply because you have acquired more property. If you sell a specific piece of property, you also do not need to write an addendum. If you left your car to your brother but sell it before you die, then the car is no longer part of your estate to distribute to your brother. If you leave a piece of property to someone and she dies before you, then you will need to choose someone else to leave it to. What happens to the property when someone predeceases you depends on state law.  In some states the gift will fall into the residuary and be distributed to the beneficiaries of your residual estate. In other states the gift will pass to the children of the deceased beneficiary. Only a lawyer can tell you if the change you want to make is sufficiently minor that a codicil or addendum is sufficient. Try to contact the attorney who drafted the will since she will be more familiar with it than a new attorney.

SUMMARY: Identify a significant life event you want to account for. Identify newly acquired property. Choose new beneficiaries. Consult with an attorney.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Working with hot grease is a recipe for disaster. Burning yourself with grease won't help you get rid of it any faster.  Not only can hot grease burn you, it can also burn through your trash bag or shatter a glass jar.  It's better to be safe than sorry. Allow your grease to cool for at least 2 hours; adjust for more cooling time based on the volume of grease.  If there's an unavoidable time-crunch for your grease disposal, you can line a cup with heavy duty foil and very carefully pour the hot grease into the cup. Place the cup in the freezer, and later remove the foil along with the frozen fat. The amount of grease you're dealing with will determine your method of removal. If there is a small amount of grease to dispose of, use a paper towel to wipe it out of the pan. For a large amount of grease, pour it into a sealable, disposable container.   Since your grease container is going in the trash, try to use a container that would not otherwise be recyclable.  If you don't have a container you're willing to part with, pour the grease into a dish and refrigerate until it solidifies. Then, scrape the grease out into the trash with a rubber spatula, and conclude by washing the dish.  If you know you're going to be eating a lot of bacon and tossing the grease, think ahead. Save non-recyclable containers to use as grease-disposal vessels the next time you make a bacon batch. A paper towel soaked with a small amount of bacon grease can be placed in the trash—or in your compost. A disposable container filled with bacon grease can be placed directly in the trash, or solidified grease can be scraped out of a container and deposited in the trash.
Summary:
Wait for the bacon grease to cool to room temperature before attempting to handle it. Remove the bacon grease from the pan. Toss the grease in the trash!
