Problem: Article: Before you accept a job, you have to know about it! Ask the person what your responsibilities would be. Discuss the pay structure, who will pay you, and when you’ll get paid. Study each answer closely. Most scammers don’t have good answers for these questions or can’t come up with answers that sound legitimate. Your questions may get answered with promises of vast riches within a short timespan, money requests, few responsibilities, or responsibilities that don’t make sense. Trust your gut. The main target of scammers is financial information, including your bank account and Social Security number. It’s great if the job asks you for this information right off the bat, since you know it’s a scam. You do need to give some financial information in order to get paid, but this is done after you’ve gotten a job offer in writing and signed on with the company. Other sensitive information includes your driver’s license number and credit card number. Never give out this information until you’re certain the company is legitimate. Online scams work by securing a fee or even banking or credit information. They’ll tell you you need to buy training or materials. They may even suggest you pay to secure the job. No way! You’d never do this in real life. Don’t settle for the chance to work, because you’ll be left waiting as the scammer runs off with your money. You should also never pay to access job listings. This qualifies as buying materials. Use sites like Indeed, Monster, and Craigslist for free. The golden catch for a scammer is your personal information. The scammer may demand that you give them your bank account information for direct deposits instead of using a third party like Paypal. Others will offer to send you big checks or prepaid cards which turn out to be fake. Demand that the scammer pay through a third-party site. Let the Internet protect you for once. Most of these scammers will demand your financial information right away, which makes things easy on you because you can instantly laugh at the bad scam. Initial contact through email is acceptable. However, your communication should move on to videoconferencing or a phone call. Nasty scammers won’t reveal themselves in these formats, as that would leave evidence for the authorities. A boss of a legitimate company is not going to interview you through IM or email. If the person gives you a 1-900 number, don’t call it! These are the creepy premium numbers you see in TV ads when you stay up too late. They charge you per minute.
Summary: Ask questions about the job. Avoid giving out sensitive personal information early. Reject jobs with startup costs. Stay away from convoluted pay structures. Demand a video or phone interview.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Start by rinsing the brush under running water. Make sure the tip is down towards the sink, so the makeup runs out. Also, try to mostly just get the bristles under the water, as the water can weaken the glue and the finish on the brush. To clean the brush, use a bit of baby shampoo. You can use other shampoos, but baby shampoo is gentler. Rub it into the brush, using your fingers or by swirling the brush around your palm. Rinse the shampoo out, working until the water runs clear. Add one part water and two parts vinegar (white or apple cider vinegar) to a bowl or jar, giving it a swish to mix it up. Swirl the brushes in the solution for a minute or so, trying to mostly get the bristles. Once you're done, run them under water again to get the vinegar out. Pat the brushes gently on a paper towel to get most of the excess water out. Use your fingers to shape the bristles into the correct shape if they're bent. Lay the brushes on a paper towel to dry overnight.

SUMMARY: Run the brush under water. Rub some shampoo into the brush. Create a vinegar solution to disinfect the brushes. Dry the brushes overnight on a paper towel.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The "passé composé" is for actions that had a definite beginning and end, such as "I threw a ball," or "They have baked a cake." Actions in the past that happen often or habitually (like the weather or your mood) use a different tense. The passé composé is the most common past tense in French. The passé compose is a compound tense, which is a fancy way of saying it has two parts. The first part is a conjugated version of "avoir" (to have)." This is similar to English, where you can say "I have eaten," or "She has run." This is the first part of your conjugation. As a refresher, the conjugation of "avoir" is:  Avoir (to have): J'ai, tu as, il a, nous avons, vous avez, elles ont. Think of the English expression, "I have eaten." Notice how "eaten" is not like any other conjugation for the verb "to eat." French does the same thing -- there is a different ending for the past tense of verbs. Luckily, they are easy to remember:   -Er verbs, "-é." Examples: parlé, montré, decidé.  -Ir verbs, "-i." Examples: fini, réussi.  -Re verbs, "-u" Examples: entendu, répondu. Simply add your conjugation of "avoir" to your past participle to form the past tense. While the literal translation will always be "I have talked," or "they have listened," this tense can also translate to "I talked," or "they listened." Several examples from different verbs:   First person: "ai + verb." J'ai parlé → I talked.   Second person: "as + verb." Tu as fini → You finished.   Third person: "a + verb." Il a entendu → He heard.   Plural first person: "avons + verb." Nous avons réussi → We succeeded.   Plural second person: "avez + verb." Vous avez essayé → You all tried.   Plural third person: "-ont + verb." Elles ont répondu → They responded. " The formula "avoir + past participle works for 95% of French verbs. However, there are a selection of verbs that must use "être + past participle" (to be) to be put in the simple past tense. The translation is still in the past ("I fell"). These verbs are:  Devenir, Revenir, Monter, Rester, Sortir, Venir, Aller, Naître, Descendre, Entrer, Rentrer, Tomber, Retourner, Arriver, Mourir, Partir A helpful way to remember these verbs is by the acronym, Dr. & Mrs. Vandertramp. You'll notice the list above is already in this order. Grammatically, these verbs are known as "intransitive verbs." & Mrs. Vandertramp verbs. Once you remember which verbs need "être" (to be), add the past participle to make the past tense. Note, however, that the verb has to match the subject. Plural phrases get an "-s" and expressions about females get an extra "-e"   First person: "suis + verb." Je suis tombée → I fell. ("I" refers to a woman.)  Second person: "es + verb."  Tu es tombé → You fell.   Third person: "est + verb." Il est tombé → He fell.   Plural first person: "sommes + verb." Nous sommes tombés → We fell.   Plural second person: "etes + verb." Vous êtes tombés → You all fell.   Plural third person: "sont + verb." Elles sont tombées → They fell.
