Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Dab the sponge into the makeup. Bounce the Beauty Blender over your face. Use the pointed edge to apply the makeup to smaller areas. Wash the sponge after you use it.

Answer: To use your Beauty Blender to apply foundation, concealer, blush, highlighter, setting powder, or any face makeup, press the damp sponge into the makeup. Don't dab it too hard, though, or you may wind up picking up too much product.  For makeup products such as foundation, tinted moisturizer, BB cream, or concealer, it helps to put some on the back of your hand and dab the sponge into it there. For the best results, don't apply the makeup directly to the Beauty Blender. For makeup products that are in a compact, such as cream blush or highlighter, you can dab the sponge directly into the pan. For loose powder products, such as setting powder, shake some into the lid and dab the sponge into it there. For makeup items that you'll be applying to large areas of the face, such as a foundation or cream blush, dab the rounded bottom of the sponge into the makeup. For makeup that you're concentrating in small areas, such as concealer under the eyes or highlighter along the cheekbones, dab the pointed end of the sponge into the makeup. When you've dabbed some of the makeup onto the sponge, tap the round bottom against your skin to apply the makeup. Don't wipe the sponge across your face, but bounce it to gently stipple or press the makeup into the skin for a flawless finish.  Stipple the sponge over your skin until all of the makeup is evenly blended. It may take a couple of bounces in the same area to fully blend the makeup. You don't have to press the sponge very hard against your skin to blend the makeup. Bounce it gently, and the sponge will do the rest of the work. To apply concealer or foundation under the eyes, around the nose, along the lips, or in another small areas, press the pointed edge of the Beauty Blender against the skin. You'll want to press a little harder than you would with the rounded edge to ensure that the makeup is completely blended into the skin. Because the Beauty Blender sponge is so absorbent, it can easily grow bacteria. You want it to be clean the next time you use it, so try to get in the habit of washing it after each use to ensure that it's always ready when you need it.  Beauty Blender makes a liquid and a solid sponge designed specifically for washing your sponge. If you're on a budget, you can also wash your sponge with an antibacterial, fragrance-free dishwashing soap. A bar of antibacterial soap also works well for cleaning a Beauty Blender. To wash it, moisten the sponge with warm water and work some of the soap or cleanser into it. Create a lather, and keep washing until the water from the sponge runs clear. If there's a stain on your sponge that doesn't come clean from washing, soak it in a mixture of liquid soap and warm water overnight. If the makeup still doesn't come out of the sponge, try treating it with a thin oil, such as baby oil, before washing it. The oil can help break down the makeup that's trapped inside. Let your Beauty Blender sit out to air dry after you wash it.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Measure your body mass index (BMI).

Answer: BMIs calculate your weight relative to your height. Charts can be found online and used to determine if you are overweight or obese, which could lead to insulin resistance or pre-diabetes. BMI charts are simple to read. Find your height in 1 column and your weight in another. The chart will give you a BMI number. If the chart indicates you are overweight or obese, consult your physician for a diet an exercise program. Losing as little as 10 lbs. (4.54 kilograms) can help prevent insulin resistance.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try to "crop" your photo as much as possible during the shot. Remember the Rule of Thirds when you compose your shot. Save the initial image so that you can crop it in more than one way. Get rid of the dead space. Know when not to crop. Consider what you are going to do with the image. Always ask yourself what the image is about.

Answer: If you are taking a shot of your friend, make it of your friend, not of your friend at the end of the hallway. Then you won't have to cut a lot out of the picture when you come back and edit the photo after it's been uploaded. This is not quite the same as the 'golden mean' which is more applicable to painting and not photography.  Basically, the rule of thirds is "Mentally divide your viewfinder or LCD screen into thirds, using two vertical and two horizontal lines to create nine smaller rectangles and four points where the lines intersect."  Try to frame pictures so that the focal point of your subject is right in between or close by one of the four intersection points caused by the lines. Our eyes naturally gravitate to these four intersection points, not to the center of the photograph. Always work on a copy, so that you can always go back to your image and do something else to it, if you happen to have new/more inspiration. Go back to the friend in the hallway: the hallway is a lot of dead space. Crop the picture so that the person takes up a good majority of the frame, leaving a little background space to establish context. Sometimes, you need to leave some of the photo there so that the picture is in context. Are you going to print it out or have it on the web. You will definitely want more pixels to work with if you are printing it out, whereas a picture that is put out on the web will generally require fewer pixels. Crop the image accordingly. Like writing, it can be helpful to remove all the clutter and extraneous information. Crop that out so that what's left is a pure expression of what the image wants to be.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take the right safety precautions. Turn on and angle your angle grinder. Cut through the U-lock with the angle grinder. Make another cut a few inches from the first cut. Turn off the angle grinder and remove the U-lock.

Answer:
An angle grinder is a power tool that is highly effective for breaking U-locks and most other kinds of locks. It's the most powerful and quick method of slicing though U-locks, but in order to handle it responsibly you need to take a few safety precautions. You practice and feel comfortable with your angle grinder before using it on your U-lock.   Put on work gloves to protect your hands, as well as goggles to stop any flyaway material from getting in your eyes. Don't wear any loose clothing or jewelry when you operate the angle grinder. Make sure that you are using the right sized disc for the grinder and that the grinder is able to go up to maximum speeds. If your U-lock is locked but not attached to anything, clamp it with a vice attached to a table. If the lock is fastened around a bicycle, adjust it so that when pressure is applied to it, it doesn't move but stays in relatively the same place. Hold your angle grinder using both hands at an angle of 15-30 degrees. Hold your angle grinder a few inches away from the U-lock and turn it on. Use both hands to hold the angle grinder and slowly bring the blade against one of the U-shaped sides of the U-lock. Don't be alarmed when you see sparks fly; even if they touch you they won't hurt you. Hold the blade against the side of the U-lock until it cuts through. This can take anywhere from 15 seconds to a few minutes.  Be very slow and deliberate when you use the angle grinder. Don't push or exert force with the grinder. Just hold the blade against the lock and wait as it chips away. If exert force while you cut, you will cut through the U-lock and then push angle grinder past it to cut whatever is behind the U-lock. If you are trying to take the U-lock off your bike or the handle of a door, you will need to create one more cut to be able to dislodge it. Use the same method to cut the U-lock as you did for the first cut, this time cutting through an area a few inches from the first cut. Stop when you complete the cut. After you finish using your angle grinder, turn it off. It's important as a safety precaution to turn it off immediately after you are finished using it. After you make the second cut, a section of the U-lock should have fallen away to make a gap in the lock. Take the U-lock off, store your angle grinder, and throw away the remains of your lock!
