INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Do an online search for “vinyl stickers” or “vinyl sticker designs.” Pay attention to what you like and don’t like about the different designs you see. Try to find stickers that are similar to the ones you want to make. For example, if you want to make vinyl stickers to put on your laptop case, look for stickers other people have made to put on their computers. This will give you an idea of what size and color your design should be. Don't worry about drawing all the details. You just want to get a basic idea of how your design will look before you attempt to make it on the computer. Make sure your design is small enough to fit on an 8 x 11 inch (20.3 x 27.9 cm) piece of paper.  If you’re just starting out making vinyl stickers, keep your design simple. If you're having trouble coming up with a design, use graphics or images from online instead. If you don’t have Photoshop or Illustrator, use a free image editing software like GIMP. Recreate your sketched design using your software’s drawing and editing tools, or scan and upload your sketch and work from that. If you’re making a colored design, use bold, vibrant colors that will show up well when printed. Make sure the resolution of your design is at least 300 pixels per 1 inch (2.5 cm).

SUMMARY: Look at other vinyl sticker designs for inspiration. Sketch out your design on paper. Create your design on the computer using image editing software.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The generic name for Accutane is isotretinoin. The drug is a derivative of vitamin A, and falls in a class of medications known as retinoids. Accutane works in 4 ways. Accutane helps to control the size of the sebaceous glands, which are the glands that produce oil. This reduces the amount of oils produced by these glands. At the same time, it decreases the amount of acne-causing bacteria that live in the oil from these glands. Accutane also slows down the development of some cells that cause pores to get blocked, and it decreases inflammation of the skin. The dose is determined by body weight and by the severity of the acne. The usual dose ranges are 0.5-1.0mg/kg per day. For example, in someone that weighs about 150 pounds, the dose would range from about 20mg to 35mg, taken twice every day. Take Accutane for the length of time prescribed. One course of therapy can last for 4 to 5 months. Sometimes more than 1 course of therapy may be needed. The best response happens when the cumulative dose, or the total dose taken over a period of time, is considered. Your doctor knows how to monitor your progress and keep up with the cumulative dose in order for you to get the greatest benefit from Accutane therapy. As many as 85% of people treated with Accutane see great results after just 1 treatment course, lasting about 4 to 5 months. More than 1 course of treatment may be needed to permanently clear the skin and avoid any future relapse of the acne. Although there is no guarantee that everyone will see improvement, most people see their acne disappear, and in many cases it never comes back. Acne commonly develops during the adolescent and early adult years, but acne can also occur later in life. If left untreated, severe acne may result in physical disfigurement and associated psychological problems. According to the FDA and the parent drug company, acne leads to more feelings of insecurity and inferiority than any other disease.

SUMMARY: Learn what Accutane is and how it works. Understand how Accutane is dosed. Be aware that Accutane therapy can be lengthy. Know how Accutane therapy can help. Consider the problems with untreated acne.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When the bicycle is upright, you will be able to measure the bike wheel without the bike tipping onto you. If you are measuring the bike alone, a retractable metal tape measure will be sturdier than a plastic tape measure while leaving you a free hand. This measurement is the wheel's radius, or half of its diameter. Multiply the length by two in order to calculate the tire's diameter. With the exception of BMX models, most adult bicycle wheels are between 26 and 29 inches in diameter. If your tire is mounted, check the sidewall to find the measurement. The distance is the tire's width. It can vary greatly depending on the tire's intended use. Generally, the wider the tread, the rougher the intended terrain, while narrower treads promise a smoother, faster ride. Remember when purchasing a new tire that traditional, or standard sizes place the diameter first, followed by the width. For example, a tire sized 26 x 1.75 would have a 26-inch diameter and a 1.75-inch width across the tread.

SUMMARY: Stand the bike upright by leaning it against a wall or using the kick stand. Measure the distance in inches from the ground beneath the tire to the center point of the wheel. Measure the flat part of the tire across the tread from one side to the other. Put the diameter first and the width second.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: These products are not as effective as ironing, but hanging your garment, spraying it with the product and then using your hands to remove wrinkles can be very effective. A spray bottle filled with fabric softener has pretty much the same effect and would be far less expensive. If you do find yourself with a crease, get it wet with warm water and gently pull at the fabric. This should reshape and release the creased fabric back to the original shape. Heat helps to release creases. If you find yourself with light creases in your clothing, try to hold a blow dryer to the crease to soften the wrinkle and smooth out the fabric.  Hold the blow dryer about ten inches away from the fabric and keep it set on low. Don't hold the blow dryer in the same spot because it may burn the fabric. Instead, wave the blow dryer around from side to side.

SUMMARY:
Invest in a bottle of wrinkle-releasing spray. Get the crease wet and pull. Use a blow dryer.
