INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your skin begs for lotion after a shower, you definitely need to get a makeup primer for dry skin. A good, nourishing primer can take the place of your lotion, so you can hydrate your skin and prep it for makeup in one step. Look for primers with words like “hydrating,” “soothing,” or “replenishing.” If you struggle with excess oil and shine, you want to combat this with your primer. To do so, your best bet is a great mattifying primer that will reduce your skin’s oil production. Products that minimize pores typically help to minimize shine as well. Look for oil-free formulas – your skin doesn’t need any help with that! If you've found that your skin is sensitive to the products you use, it's a good idea to choose primers with a short ingredient list. Many beauty supply stores will have primers for sensitive skin that are oil-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and so on. The less additives in your facial products, the lower chance you have to experience a negative reaction. As you age, you may struggle with fine lines and blotchy skin. For this type of skin, look for makeup primers infused with antioxidants. A hydrating primer will help to give you some needed moisture while locking your makeup in place.

SUMMARY: Choose a hydrating makeup primer if you have dry skin. Pick a mattifying primer if you have oily skin. Select a simple primer for sensitive skin. Use a nourishing makeup primer on mature skin.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Effective instruction is simple. Don't use long, involved paragraphs. Instead, use short, clear sentences, bullet points, and visual aids. Instructions should be full of active, descriptive words. Start your steps with action verbs. This gives the reader a clear action to perform. Each step should read as a command and use the imperative mood.  When defining or explaining, use as much descriptive language as possible. For example, say "Add two eggs" instead of "Two eggs should be added to the cake mix." When you include additional information, make sure that you are including only what is necessary. Ask yourself, "Does the reader need to know this definition to understand the instructions?" or "Does the reader need this tip to successfully complete this task?" Refrain from adding unnecessary information. Unneeded definitions, tips, steps, or information can confuse your readers, making it difficult to follow the instructions. When writing instructions, you should address the reader. Do this using the word "you." This helps lead the reader personally through the steps. When writing instructions, be as specific as possible. Outline exactly what they do. This includes which way they turn a wrench, how many feet they walk, or what the consistency of the cake should look like when they are done.  Give all measurements exactly. If someone needs to cut off 5/8-inch of a board, say that. For example, if you are baking a cake, don't wait until step 4 to say, "Before mixing the ingredients, sift the flour and bring the eggs to room temperature." Transitions help connect the steps to each other. They also help relate the ideas. In instructions, you will use sequence and time transitions. This helps the reader understand the step-by-step instructions. Some common transitions are: first, next, then, finally, after, before.
Summary: Keep it simple. Use active words. Add only necessary information. Address the reader. Be specific. Use sequence and time transitions.

Inkscape is a free, open-source vector editing program that is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. You can download it from inkscape.org. Inkscape includes a bitmap tracing tool that will attempt to automatically convert your raster image into a vector. Click "File" → "Open" and browse for the bitmap image that you want to convert into a vector. Simple images and logos are best suited for this process. You'll have a difficult time getting adequate results when attempting to auto-trace a photograph. After loading the bitmap, you'll need to click it to select it on the canvas. Once you have the bitmap selected, you can open the auto-tracing tool. Click "Path" → "Trace Bitmap", or press ⇧ Shift+Alt+B. There are three different modes available for creating a single path. The "path" is the line tracing of your image. Selecting each one will update the Live Preview, allowing you to get a feel for what they do.  These three options will help you to create a basic outline which you can then manually edit yourself. Use the "Threshold" options to adjust how the scan is processed. For the "Brightness cutoff", a threshold of 0.0 will be black, while a threshold of 1.0 will be white. For the "Edge detection", the threshold is the same and determines whether the pixel will be counted as part of the border or not. Increase the number of scans to increase the number of colors that appear. This can be an inaccurate tool, and may not be able to provide good results for complex images. Once you're happy with the results, click OK to apply them to the image. Click "Path" → "Simplify" or press Ctrl+L to reduce the number of nodes. This will result in a lower-quality image, but the end result will be much easier to edit. This is located in the toolbox on the left side of the screen. You can also press F2. This will allow you to select and move nodes to edit the image. For detailed instructions on editing nodes in Inkscape, see this article. You can use the tools in the left toolbar to create shapes and lines. Use these to touch-up or replace parts of the trace that didn't turn out right. Once you've created a shape or line, you can use the nodes to adjust the curve and shape of the object. Click the "Convert selected object to path" button (⇧ Shift+Ctrl+C) to edit the nodes shapes that you've created. Once you are satisfied with your new vector art, you can save it as a vector image. Click "File" → "Save As" and choose one of the vector file formats from the drop-down menu. SVG is one of the most common vector formats.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Choose fruits and vegetables that offer an array of colors for the best nutrients, such as cantaloupes, carrots or tomatoes. Avoid vegetables that contain starch, such as corn. Instead, eat green vegetables like spinach, broccoli or green beans. Choose whole grain foods, rather than processed flour or foods with high sugar content. Healthy grains include barley, oats and brown rice. These foods are rated low on the glycemic index (GI), which measures the effect of carbohydrates on blood glucose levels in the body. High levels of glucose can lead to insulin resistance. Avoid salty and processed snacks like chips or pretzels.

SUMMARY:
Eat a diet high in vegetables and fruits. Eliminate bad carbohydrates. Choose snacks with low GI levels, such as nuts, beans and dried fruit.
