INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Try to remember times you've helped others--especially if they offered to pay you. Consider if you could market those types of services for money. Do you know other people who would pay for those services If you've ever mowed lawns in your neighborhood or babysat for a friend you likely earned a little money for your trouble. You will need to have a list of times you can be available to provide services. When you pitch your services to someone else, have these times on hand for quick reference. If you are available during the day, you might consider cleaning people's homes. People love coming home to a house that's already been cleaned for them! You may find part-time work by asking family and friends about services they would like done for them. They may also have friends and relatives who need help as well. Making a single page flyer with your services and associated rates is a quick and easy advertisement tool. You can give these to friends and family so they can advertise for you. Eventually your friends and family will run out of things for you. You will need to expand your business. Remember to bring your own thumb tacks and tape. Bulletin board flyers can be stand-alone or include tear-off tabs. Be sure to consult the board's owner before posting anything. Sometimes tear-tab flyers are not allowed to be sure to have an alternative flyer. This can be on your phone or in a notebook. Keep it with you at all times. You never know when one of your services will be requested. If you decided to tutor for extra money you'd likely have multiple students to tutor each week. Keeping track of when you need to be where and when is an absolute necessity. Your services may be procured elsewhere. If you are prompt, kind, and courteous you will develop a rapport with them and secure future work. When people pay you for a service you should provide them a receipt. Carbon copy receipt books allow you to keep track of who paid what, when, and for what service.

SUMMARY: Think about what you would like to do. Decide how much time you'd like to spend each day or week making money part time. Ask around for needed services. Develop a flyer with a list of services you are willing to provide. Post your skills and services on bulletin boards in the public areas of churches, at local cleaners or in nail salons. Use a planner to keep track of your appointments. Always be on time and polite. Use a receipt book to keep track of payments.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: For the best texture and taste, insist on meat that is organic and/or free of artificial hormones. Specify that you want a raw pork belly that hasn't already been cured or sliced. For a fattier bacon, ask for meat that came from the hog's belly and/or chest. For a meatier bacon, ask for meat that covered the hog's spare ribs. Whole pork bellies typically weigh between 10 and 12 pounds, but if you are experimenting with cure recipes, ask for a smaller cut in case you end up not liking your concoction. If you purchased your pork belly from a commercial vendor other than a farm and plan on curing it as soon as you get home, skip this step, since the meat has already been chilled. But if you buy direct from a farm, ask the farmer how long ago the hog was slaughtered, because you need to chill your meat within 24 hours of that time. In either case, bring along a cooler stocked with ice to keep the pork belly relatively cool on the ride home if it takes you more than half an hour. Once home, place the pork belly in a sealable container to keep your fridge clean and prevent cross-contamination with other items. For a quicker chill, set the container inside the fridge wherever it is coldest. To further reduce the chance of cross-contamination, set it in the meat compartment, away from other products. Keep the refrigerator's temperature at 40 degrees Fahrenheit and let the pork belly sit until its core temperature drops to 42 degrees, which will help kill bacteria. If you are chilling multiple bellies, set each one in its own container rather than stacking the meat directly on top of each other. Either ask your butcher to do it for you when you purchase the meat, or do it at home yourself. In the latter case, use a sharpened knife since the skin is tough. Begin your cut at any corner of the belly. As you slice the skin off, angle the blade toward the skin, rather than away from it, so you don't end up trimming off any more precious meat than necessary. Once your skin is removed, the meat will absorb more of the cure. The discarded skin can be cooked on its own, either by grilling or deep-frying. If you wish to do this, be sure to tell your butcher to save the skin if you have them slice the skin off for you.
Summary: Buy a fresh pork belly. Chill your meat. Cut the skin off.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place a t-shirt board inside of the shirt and set the shirt onto an easel. The t-shirt board will stretch the material, preventing wrinkles, folds, and dimples from sneaking in and ruining your design. They also prevent paint from seeping through to the other side of the shirt. Most t-shirt boards are made of thick cardboard, masonite, or foam board. The easel should hold the shirt at least 32 inches (81 cm) above the ground. It must be positioned in a way that allows your hand to move naturally over the shirt as you work. Position the airbrush over the stencil attached to the shirt. It is best to start at the edge of the design right than starting at the middle. The distance between the airbrush and the shirt will create different effects. For a soft appearance, hold the airbrush roughly 6 inches (15 cm) away from the shirt. For a harder appearance, hold it roughly 4 inches (10 cm) away from the material. Gently ease the trigger back to release a stream of paint. Steadily move your hand over the entire stencil to fill the exposed areas with paint. When holding the airbrush close to the surface, ease up on the trigger to use less paint. You need to move your hand steadily across the entire surface as you airbrush the paint onto the material. Failing to move your hand will cause globs of paint to appear at the beginning and end of each stroke. Overlapping each pass will prevent gaps of blank space from appearing, creating a more even appearance. To switch colors, merely release the trigger to stop the spray, unscrew the old jar, and screw on the new jar. Some airbrush artists prefer to use a different airbrush for each color, but for bottom-fed airbrushes, you should be able to use the same brush for all colors. After filling in the stencil portion of the design, carefully peel the stencil straight back to remove it from the shirt. Remove any tape holding the edges down before lifting away the stencil. If the stencil resists too much, you may need to wait until the paint dries before peeling it away. Doing so will minimize the risk of disturbing the paint and ruining the image. If you want to add freehand elements, now is the time to do so. Consider the placement carefully since there will be no way to undo any mistakes. Letters and numbers are the most common freehand elements. Consider practicing different fonts in advance before attempting to airbrush them onto a shirt.

SUMMARY:
Set up the t-shirt. Hold the airbrush over the shirt. Spray even, overlapping strokes across the surface. Switch colors as needed. Carefully remove the stencil. Add freehand designs as desired.
