INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Almost all app-creation programs will require you to create an account and log in before you can get to work. You may need to download software, or apps may be created entirely through the website. After logging into the creation tools or downloading the creation software, you will need to start a new project. The process varies from program to program, but generally involves naming your app a name and description. Most app development programs will ask you to set a basic theme and color palette before you begin building the app. You will be able to change these choices later once the app is under construction. You may be able to add your own images for screen backgrounds. These images should typically be 1024 X 768 px. Most app creation programs work by letting you add prebuilt functions into your app. The combination of these functions and how they link together is what will make your app yours. There are a variety of different functions you can add to your app, including calendars, photo galleries, podcasts, Facebook integration, audio players, and more.  Typically, each one of these functions will be its own screen on your app. As you add functions, you will be able to customize each screen with your own text and content. For example, if you add an RSS feed function, you can link to your blog's feed and automatically populate the app with your latest posts. After you've added a few functions to your app, spend some time organizing the layout of each screen so that you have a cohesive look for your app. Your title bars should all be in the same location, and content should appear in consistent parts of the screen. Different app creation programs will give you different levels of control over how everything is laid out. Some apps only let you add completely prebuilt functions, while others allow you to drag and rearrange each element on the screen. You will have the opportunity to assign icons to each of your app's functions. Many app creation programs have a library of icons you can choose from, or you can design and upload your own. Good icons will help set your app apart and contribute to the overall feel of the app.

SUMMARY: Log in to the program you choose. Start a new project. Choose a theme. Add functions, or activities, to your app. Adjust the layout of each of your screens. Choose icons for your functions.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The outer rim of a Zodiac chart is divided into 12 sections. Your birth date will fall into one of those sections. The section in which your birth date falls is your Zodiac sign. There are 12 signs of the Zodiac, all of which represent different personality traits. Locate which section you fall into in order to identify your Zodiac sign.  On your astrology chart, a small person is drawn on the globe in the center. The person is drawn on the top of the longitudinal point of your place of birth. You can draw a straight line from the little person to the out rim of the chart. This will show you your Zodiac sign. The stars, planets, and signs are drawn in relation to how they appeared on your date of birth. Your Zodiac sign supposedly has an influence on your personality. For example, if you're an Aires you are supposedly passionate, driven, ambitious, and outgoing. You can find information about personality traits associated with the Zodiac online. You can also check out a book from your local library, or purchase one online or at a bookstore, about astrology. This can help you learn about yourself by using your Zodiac sign. Keep in mind your Zodiac sign is only one small component of how you read an astrology chart. A variety of aspects influence how your sign is read. You have to take all other aspects of the chart, such as your houses and planets, into consideration to completely read an astrology chart. This information is dependent on both your place and date of birth.

SUMMARY: Locate your sign. Learn the meaning of your sign. Understand what can affect how your sign is read.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The more hydrated you are, the better your body will be able to control your temperature. Better yet, grab a hot green tea or herbal tea to heat your body up before you go out. Choose undershirts and leggings that wick moisture away from the skin. Synthetic layers are less bulky and more efficient than wool or thick cotton. If it’s been a while since you have updated your long-underwear, many brands like Uniqlo, Cuddle Duds, and REI are offering extremely comfortable and form-fitting layers that can go under work or workout clothes. The best way to stay warm is to keep your body from getting wet. Always wear waterproof, insulated boots when you go out into rain or snow. Wearing thick, protective socks can make a big difference, too. If you know you'll be out for a while, pack an extra pair of socks in your coat pocket -- if your socks get wet, you'll be cold for the rest of the time you're out. They keep your fingers together, conserving body heat. Gloves restrict your hands and your circulation, resulting in colder fingertips, though wearing gloves is better than not covering your hands at all. Invest in a down coat and take a thick sweater. The warmer your torso is, the warmer your extremities will be. That's why packing on those extra winter pounds is a great way to stay warm during the winter. When your temperature in your torso drops, your body will draw circulation away from your extremities. If it needs to, your body will sacrifice a few fingers and toes to frostbite in order to save your life. Purchase a balaclava that covers the majority of your face, wear hats, thick socks and mittens. Exposed skin can get frostbite quickly. Forget the myth that says that 70% of your body heat is released from your head; instead, focus on having as little exposed skin as possible if you want to stay warm. If you rely on your car for a commute in cold weather, invest $30 to $50 to plug in your engine overnight. Your car will be more likely to start in the morning and when you get out of work.

SUMMARY: Stay hydrated. Invest in base-layers. Keep your feet dry. Wear mittens. Heat your torso. Reduce the amount of skin you have exposed. Purchase an engine heater.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your videos will need to have a square pixel aspect ratio to display properly. Use one of the following resolutions for recording HD video:   720p: 1280 x 720  1080p: 1920 x 1080  1440p: 2560 x 1440  2160p: 3840 x 2160 Use the same frame rate your video was recorded in to encode and upload it. Common frame rates are 24, 25, 30, 48, 50, and 60 frames per second (fps). Video bitrate is the rate at which the video codec encodes the video playback. Your video should be optimized for your video resolution, framerate, and whether or not your video has high dynamic range (HDR). YouTube recommends the following bitrates for standard framerates (24 - 30 fps) and high framerates (48 - 60 fps):    2160p: Standard framerate: 35-45 Mbps, High framerate: 53 -68 Mpbs.  2160p (HDR): Standard framerate: 44 - 56 Mbps, High framerate: 66 - 85 Mbps.  1440p: Standard framerate:: 16 Mbps, High framerate: 24 Mbps.  1440p (HDR): Standard framerate: 20 Mbps, High framerate: 30 Mbps.  1080p: Standard frame rate: 8 Mbps, High frame rate: 12 Mbps.  1080p (HDR): Standard framerate: 10 Mbps, High framerate: 15 Mbps.  720p: Standard frame rate: 5 Mbps, High framerate: 7.5 Mbps.  720p (HDR): Standard framerate: 6.5 Mbps, High framerate:: 9.5 Mbps. This is the recommended audio format for YouTube videos. YouTube also supports mono, stereo, and 5.1 surround sound channels. H.264 is the most common compression format for HD video. YouTube recommends videos be uploaded in MP4 format. However, almost all popular formats are supported by YouTube, including AVI, MOV, WMV, and FLV.

SUMMARY:
Record the video in HD resolution. Use the correct frame rate. Select the proper video bitrate. Use the AAC-LC audio codec with a 48khz or 96khz sample rate. Use the H.264 video codec. Save the video in a supported format.
