INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To start, evaluate your eyebrows in a mirror. Before you feather your brows, you will want to fill them in as normal.  Use a brow brush to brush your eyebrows upward. This will make bald spots or spots where hair is light more apparent. Make note of where such spots occur. You will fill these areas in with a brow pencil that matches your hair color. Before you begin filling in your brows, you want to make sure you know where they should start. To do this, take any straight makeup brush you have. Place it along your nose, forming a vertical line upward. Your eyebrows should start at this line and move outward. Once you've identified where your brows should start, and where the gaps are, you can begin filling in your brows. The process of feathering starts now. You want to use the right motions to create the feathered texture.  As you draw lines filling in your brows, use upward motions. You want to sweep along your eyebrows horizontally, moving from the top to the bottom. Move along the full length of each eyebrow, making swift upward swipes. This should create the feathered texture.

SUMMARY: Identify gaps in your eyebrows. Figure out where your brow should ideally start. Darken your brows in a feathered motion.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Pick anything you want. Many people make slideshows out of family vacations, reunions, or other shared experiences. You could also choose to explore a favorite hobby or sport. Add structure. You certainly don't have to have a clear structure for a slideshow you're making for your own enjoyment, but if you'd like to make a statement about something or present information you've learned, it helps. Think about the way you would naturally explain your slides to a friend, and then organize them to reflect that. One of the best parts of making a slideshow for fun is that you can pretty much do whatever you want with it. For most people, that means a lot of pictures. Download them from the Internet or use your own photographs, as you like. If you're using images that might be copyrighted, be cautious. Most people aren't going to hunt you down and sue you for making a “Day at the Beach” family slideshow with a copyrighted image of a beach ball and uploading it to YouTube, but use common sense.  Give credit at the end of the slideshow whenever you can find the appropriate information. Don't use any images that are marked with the words “do not reuse without permission” or anything similar. Insert whatever sound and video clips you want. Go wild; this is your personal project. Again, be careful when using clearly copyrighted material. Try to keep clips short, and give credit where it's due. Yes, they're tacky. They're also kind of fun, especially with the sound effects turned on. If you feel like loading up your slideshow with cheesy transition effects, go right ahead. Even though you made it for your own benefit, you should check it before you show it to anyone else.  Be sure the color schemes you are using don't hurt your eyes. Check to make sure the slides are all in the order you want them to be in. Add captions to images if it makes sense, so you don't have to explain every picture.

SUMMARY: Choose a theme. Get your pictures. Add multimedia. Add whatever transitions you want. Review your slideshow.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Slide the shells off of the shrimp, and remove the veins. This pot will cook the linguine. You can add a pinch of salt to the water, if you like. Wait until the butter is completely melted before moving on.  You can add just a pinch of each, or add more, depending on how much flavor you would like add to the shrimp. Gently stir the sauce, taking care not to burn the garlic.  Once the water boils, add the linguine and boil it according to the directions on the package. Most linguine takes about 7-11 minutes to boil. You should do this when the linguine is about half done cooking, so the linguine and shrimp are done at the same time. Do not stir the shrimp. Use a spatula to turn the shrimp over. You can also just sauté the other side of the shrimp until it's pink. Turn off the heat when it's done. This will give the shrimp an extra zesty flavor. Leave just a few tablespoons of pasta water at the bottom of the pan.  Toss it well to mix the ingredients with the pasta and pasta water, which will give the sauce a more savory, hearty taste. Toss to distribute the cheese and parsley, or just leave them on top.

SUMMARY: Peel and devein 2 lbs. of shrimp. Boil a large pot of water. Melt 5 tbsp. olive oil and 6 tbsp. unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Add 3 tbsp. minced garlic, the zest of 1 lemon, and 1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes to the mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir the sauce for 3-4 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of lemon juice once the garlic browns. Add 1.5 lbs. linguine to the boiling water. Add the shrimp to the sauce. Sauté the shrimp on one side for 1-2 minutes. Sauté the other side of the shrimp for 1-2 minutes. Add 1/2 of a thinly-sliced lemon. Drain the linguine when it's cooked. Put the linguine back into the pot. Add the shrimp and sauce to the pot. Garnish with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley.

Rowling was fired from her day job as a secretary and was even homeless for a short period of time before writing the “Harry Potter” books. Michael Bloomberg was fired from an investment bank and used his severance package to start his financial data company.  Bloomberg L.P. is now one of the most successful companies on the planet.
