INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you do not already have it, you can download it from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/. Open the “File” menu from the menu bar and select “Add File to Library”. This will open a window to browse and select files on your computer. Hit Ctrl+B on Windows to force the menu bar to appear. This will open a small window with various iTunes options. On Windows, the “Preferences” option is located in the “Edit” menu. This option appears next to “When you insert a CD” on the “General” tab. This is located at the top of the Import Settings window and is set to “AAC Encoder” by default. This menu is located just below the “Import Using” menu. Here you can select a bitrate for your encoded mp3’s.  A higher bitrate denotes a higher quality (but larger) file. If you encoding from a lossy source (for example: mp4, m4a, ogg) then the quality will drop even if you select a higher quality bitrate. Try to encode from lossless sources instead (FLAC, ALAC,  wav). This is located in the lower right and will save your changes. Click the dropdown menu in the upper left, below the menu bar and select Music or Podcasts (wherever you added it). You can hold Ctrl (Windows) or ⌘ Cmd (Mac) while clicking to select multiple files at once. This will bring up another submenu with conversion options. A progress bar will appear at the top showing the conversion process. When complete, a copy of the selected file(s) will appear in your library in the new format.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Fragrances and perfumes are personal choices and you should pick one that you like, but researchers have found that males are often attracted to a few specific scents, so you might consider a perfume that contains these notes:  Vanilla. Orange. Lavender. Green apples. Don’t be afraid to ask a member of the opposite sex what smells good to him. This is probably the most effective way to ensure you smell good to someone else. Applying too much or too little perfume or fragrance can be off-putting to boys. Keep these guidelines in mind to make sure you are applying perfume correctly:  For a more even application that isn’t overwhelming, spray once into the air above you and then walk through the mist.  To keep fragrances from dissipating, apply to a few pulse points and areas that give off heat. These include behind the ears, on the wrists, on the collarbone, inside the elbows, and behind the knees.  You can also lightly spray your hairbrush with perfume before brushing your hair. A quick way to tell if you’ve applied too much perfume to an area is to wait a few seconds after applying and then touch a tissue to the area. If the tissue sticks, it’s a good indicator you over-applied the product.  If you accidentally put on too much perfume or body spray, rub a cotton ball soaked with rubbing alcohol to the spot. When you want to smell good for boys, scented lotions can have more staying power than perfumes and are usually less expensive. These products also often have moisturizing skin benefits that perfumes don’t offer. Be careful when using scented lotions and perfumes because they might be too strong or cloying when mixed. Scented bath products are also an easy and inexpensive way to improve the way you smell to boys since they are often more affordable than perfumes. If you are planning to use a strong-smelling perfume or lotion, a lighter smelling body wash or shower gel might be a better choice so these scents are not overwhelming. When you use multiple scented products, it’s important to consider what the combined smell might be like. You want to choose products that go together and compliment each other rather than creating an off-putting combination that might be too strong and end up repelling boys.  Choose products in the same family so they go better together. For example, if you use a citrus-based perfume, choose a citrus-based shower gel or lotion. Products with vanilla, amber, and coconut tend to layer better and go well with more products. For an objective opinion, ask your friends or family how these products smell together when you are wearing them.

SUMMARY: Learn about the smells that boys find attractive. Apply the perfume correctly. Try scented lotion. Use great-smelling bath products. Think about the combined scent of your products.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place your pattern onto your chosen material and outline the edges of the panel. Before cutting any material, understand that the edges of each panel will need to be stuck together and then sewn. Once you have outlined your pattern onto your material, including battens and seams, you may now cut out your pattern. When creating a seam with shape, you want the shape to be about 35% from the luff. Move from panel to panel while leaving extra cloth at the external edges of the sail. It’s best to trim and adjust the sail shape once all panels are sewn together. Stick and sew two panels at a time until the sail is all in one piece. You can now trim it to your design on the table and draw on the batten pockets. Using dacron tape or reinforced monofilm tape, reinforce the seams. You can also glue a layer of cloth on either side of the material for added strength. There will be a high degree of force applied to these areas so ensure that they can withstand that amount of tension. Depending on the type of sail, attach the luff once you have dealt with the batten pockets. Measure the width of existing sails and adjust your sail accordingly. Sleeves can either be a single piece or made from a number of pieces of material but ensure that the head is reinforced and capable to withstand the strain from the mast tip. Create your sleeve so it fits down to the foot batten.  Create an adjustable head for your sleeve if this is your first attempt at a sail. Use pulleys from old sails or get them from a sail maker.

SUMMARY:
Start with a central panel. Cut out your pattern. Stitch the materials. Reinforce the material. Fortify the foot and the batten pockets. Create the sleeve for the mast.
