Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask for three volunteers. Give each volunteer a slip of paper. Tell each person to write down a name. Announce that you will draw the name of the dead person. Draw the name.

Answer: This is a good trick to perform in front of a crowd, since you'll need three volunteers to do it correctly. Be sure to get exactly three; the trick won't resonate as well with two, and it simply won't work with four. It's best to choose people you don't know well, so the audience won't think you planned the trick together before the show. This part of the trick is very important. Take a sheet of paper and tear it into thirds. Give the first third, which will have one straight side and one jagged side, to the first person. Give the second piece, which will have two jagged sides, to the second person. Give the third piece, which will also have one straight side and one jagged side, to the third person.  This trick can't be conducted properly unless you rip one piece of paper into thirds, so make sure you prepare for it by having a large sheet of paper on hand. Pay attention to the person who has the piece that is ripped on both sides. This piece of paper is the key to the trick. The first person should write down the name of a person who is alive. The second person (with the double-ripped paper) should write down the name of a person who is dead. The third person should write down the name of a person who is alive. Make a show of leaving the room or turning your back while the volunteers write the names on their slips of paper. Without your touching them, the volunteers should place their slips of paper in a hat or box. Tell the volunteers to concentrate hard on the name they wrote down. Hold the hat or box above your head, or have someone else hold it, so it's clear that you can't see inside. Tell the audience that you already know what the name of the dead person is, and look knowingly at the volunteer who wrote it down, as though you're reading his or her mind. Finally, put your hand in the hat and feel around for the slip of paper that has two rough edges. Draw it out with a flourish and read the name to everyone's amazement.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider what type of pencil eyeliner to use. Consider the eyeliner formula. Choose an eyeliner color. Buy your eyeliner.

Answer: There are many different types of eyeliner that come in a pencil form, each of which has a different consistency and texture, application, and effect.  Powder-based pencils, sometimes called kohl, offer less intense color. They're also a good option if you want to smudge the eyeliner for a “smoky eye” effect. You can make the color appear more dramatic by wetting the tip before you apply the eyeliner. Gel- or cream-based pencils offer simple and excellent application. These pencils apply a rich and intense color. They're a good choice if you want to apply a winged, or cat eye, look. You can also purchase gel or cream eyeliners that come in a pot and can be applied with a tapered brush applicator. Liquid eyeliner pencils offer the most dramatic and intense application. Many liquid liners come in pen form (though it more closely resembles a felt marker), making application fairly simple. However, mistakes are very visible and difficult to correct because of the deep color, so you must have a steady hand during application. Tips range from very thin to thick depending on how intense you want the look or if you want to apply a cat-eye or winged look. Most companies offer different eyeliner formulas for different needs including sensitive eyes and organic, animal-friendly products. Some even offer formulas that include serums to elongate your lashes.  If your eyes are sensitive because you wear contact lenses, or if you suffer from allergic reactions to certain formulas, certain companies (like Almay) make non-allergenic (also called hypoallergenic) makeup, including eyeliner. If you prefer an eyeliner that is ethically produced, made of organic materials, and is not tested on animals, for example, companies including, Aveda, NARS, Arbonne, The Body Shop, and Josie Maran Cosmetics offer these products. Pencil eyeliners come in a broad range of colors from electric blue and emerald green to traditional colors like black and brown.  A good rule of thumb is to apply shades such as black, dark brown, deep plum, or grey if you want a more natural look. You can intensify or soften these colors as you like to achieve your desired look. Unusual colors such as electric blue, orange, or emerald green will really stand out against your eyes and eyelids, so it's a good idea to use them for special, non-professional occasions. If you want to tone down these colors for an everyday look, pair them with a darker, neutral-colored liner. Different eyeliner colors highlight each eye color differently. For example, plum eyeliner makes green eyes “pop,” while grey eyeliner looks great on blue eyes. Purple-toned liners can enhance brown eyes, and black is a good choice for any eye color. Once you've decided on the color, format, and formula, you are ready to purchase the pencil or pencils either at a store or online.  Eyeliners vary greatly in price. They can cost as little as 99 cents and as much as 50 dollars or more. You can buy eyeliners at retailers including drugstores such as CVS, stores like Target or Walmart, or department stores such as Macy's or Saks Fifth Avenue. Sephora, a large French makeup retailer with stores across the world, is another excellent place to purchase eyeliner. Most vendors, including CVS, Target, Macy's, and Sephora, also have websites where you can purchase your eyeliner. If you want to try out different colors or types of eyeliner, visit the makeup counter at your favorite retailer and ask about samples. They may provide you with samples to take home, or they may apply the eyeliner to your eyes so you can see how it looks.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find a local credit union. Open an account. Apply for a loan.

Answer: Credit unions are small, local banks that are owned by members rather than shareholders.  Because of this business model, credit unions tend to have lower fees and a different customer service model that evaluates loan applications based on more than just a credit score. If your credit is poor, the rate will still be high, but not as high as it would likely be at a large bank. Because credit unions are member-owned, you must become a member and be eligible for a loan. Opening an account at a credit union is the same as opening an account at any bank. Bring some cash and identification and a banker will help you set up a checking and/or savings account. Talk with a banker at the credit union about your eligibility for a loan, and fill out the necessary paperwork.  Because of the more personal approach taken by credit unions, the banker you talk to will be more likely to take into consideration your individual circumstances when applying for a loan. Even if a large bank has denied your loan application, a credit union may approve it.  Nonetheless, you should not expect to receive a loan under the same terms and conditions as you would if your credit was good: bad credit will still mean that any funds you receive will only be granted at a high interest rate. This is because the bank is taking a greater risk on your loan than on a loan to someone with a better credit score.  Your specific rate in this case can vary based on the loan offer your credit union makes. Consult an online loan repayment calculator to determine your payments and repayment schedule.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be honest but sensitive.

Answer:
No one likes to get dumped. But we at least appreciate the truth when it's over. Unless, of course, the truth is you've stopped finding them attractive, you've met someone better, or that you're just plain bored with the relationship. There's no point being negative. Try to exit with as much decorum as possible. Even if there's bad blood, always take the high road. You'll be glad you did.
