INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can buy an industry standard green screen online, or you can use a lime-green sheet or poster paper in a pinch. Your green screen should have as few wrinkles as possible, and should be one uniform color throughout. This will ensure that you don't have to worry about a shadow on the green screen, which will help when phasing out the green screen later. You'll want your camera far enough away to capture all of your body (if applicable) in the frame, without being so far away that the green screen isn't centered in the frame. Record yourself or your subject in front of the green screen. Make sure that any movements or objects in the frame stay in front of the green screen, as anything shot outside of the green screen frame will end up being cut from the final video. Once you've finished recording the video, you'll need to put it on your computer so that you can edit it.  If the video is on a phone, consider uploading it to a cloud service like Google Drive and then downloading it onto your computer from there. If the video is on an SD card, you can usually insert it directly into your computer (or a USB/SD card adapter that's plugged into your computer) to move the video.

SUMMARY: Set up your green screen. Stand at least three feet in front of the green screen. Position your camera. Shoot your video. Move the video onto your computer.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Sugar substitutes lack the caramelizing effect of natural sugar. Artificial sweeteners do not have the same bulking qualities as sugar.  Check the directions on the package of your artificial sweetener for pertinent cooking directions. Sugar holds in moisture and helps baked goods to keep longer. With artificial sweeteners, your baked goods will not last as long.

SUMMARY: Be aware that baked goods may not brown as much when cooked with artificial sweeteners. Look for lower volume in your baked goods. Expect taste and texture to be slightly altered. Alter cooking times for foods if needed. Watch for faster deterioration of your baked goods.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Larger and smaller audiences have different pros and cons. A larger audience can spread the word more quickly about what you offer the world, but you won’t be able to connect with audience members on an individual basis. A smaller audience might let you answer all of your attendees’ questions, but your exposure could be limited.  Larger audiences also require that you use a more advanced webinar platform. Many basic services cut off the number of attendees at 25. If you’re already an established blogger or webinar host, you may not need the exposure. It’s time to get the word out! Post a picture of yourself delivering a talk to Instagram with a brief caption describing the event. Use Facebook to give a more detailed description. Tweet daily reminders to your followers about the event. And don’t forget to use your own web pages for promotion!  Since Twitter and Instagram are a bit more casual, use these platforms to engage your audience with humor. You could even post a GIF or meme that captures the goal of the event. Start promoting your event at least 2 weeks and up to a month in advance. Many webinar platforms provide this service. The registration page will allow attendees to sign up for the event and receive related reminder and follow up emails. If you choose, you can also set up the ability to pay an attendance fee on this page. If your webinar platform doesn’t give you the option of creating a registration page, create your own email list. Use your website or social media to connect with audience members and collect their contact information. For example, suggest that attendees send you a private direct message with their contact info through Facebook or Twitter. Use your registration page or email list to get in touch with your audience 1 week, 24 hours, and 1 hour before the event begins. The reminder should contain a brief recap of what the webinar is about, as well as the date and time of the event.

SUMMARY: Decide how large you’d like your audience to be. Publicize your webinar on social media and your website or blog. Create a registration page for your webinar. Set up an email list to get in touch with registrants. Send reminder emails to make people show up.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This pizza is served cold and makes an excellent appetizer or finger food. It makes use of store-bought crescent rolls for the crust. It takes 20 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to cook. The yield is 48 bite-sized squares. Use 2 non-stick baking sheets. Open the 2 packages of crescent rolls. Stretch the dough and flatten it out so that it forms one rectangular shape. Be sure to pinch the seams together. Bake for about 10 minutes.  It’s ready when the crust has become golden brown. Set the just-baked crust aside and let it cool for about 30 minutes while you prepare the rest of the dish. Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator and allow it to sit out for several minutes. This will soften it and make it easier to work with. Once softened, place the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and add the Ranch-style dressing mix.  Stir vigorously until they are fully mixed together. Spoon the mixture over the cooled crusts in a thin layer. Finely chop the vegetables so that they are relatively small. Arrange them over the cream cheese sauce and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Place in the refrigerator for approximately 1 hour.  When you’re ready to serve them, take them out of the refrigerator and cut them into 48 bite-size squares. Serve immediately as appetizers or finger food.

SUMMARY:
Gather the ingredients. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare the crescent rolls. Make the “sauce” and chop the vegetables. Sprinkle the vegetables and cheddar over the cream cheese layer.
