Article: The process by which your turn your ohmmeter on will vary depending on the model you're using. Typically, you can just thumb the switch that says "Power" or "On/Off." Consult manufacturer directions for more information about how to select the resistance function on your multimeter. An ohmmeter is included in the suite of tools available in the multimeter, a device that also functions as an ammeter and voltmeter. The exact method by which you select the resistance function will vary somewhat depending on the model of multimeter you're using. Look for a rotating switch or dial to change the setting. Consult manufacturer directions for more information about how to select the resistance function on your multimeter. In other words, don't connect the circuit to a power supply when using your ohmmeter. Doing so could damage your digital ohmmeter or invalidate your resistance reading. If you want to measure the resistance of an individual component (for instance, because you suspect it is faulty), remove it from the circuit, then test the component by touching the leads to the two poles of the component. This will give you a baseline reading against which you can later test the circuit. The precise method by which you remove individual components depends on what the component is. For instance, if you're testing a capacitor, you'll need to remove it with a soldering iron and discharge any remaining electrical energy from it. When you're ready to test components for resistance readings, touch the test leads to the leads of the component. These leads typically appear as two thin silver wires poking out of the component. Even within the same type of component, the placement of these leads varies. For instance, in some capacitors, the leads both exit the same side. In other capacitors, one lead will poke out of one end while the second lead pokes out the opposite end. If you're having trouble identifying the leads of the component you're interested in testing, consult manufacturer directions. It doesn't matter which test lead and which component lead you touch together.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Turn the meter on. Select the resistance function if you're using a multimeter. Test resistance in a circuit when it is unpowered. Take individual components out of the circuit before testing them. Test the resistance of an electrical component using the test leads.
Article: Add cup (115 g) of sugar and cup (59 ml) of olive oil to a small bowl. Use a spoon to carefully stir the ingredients together until they're fully blended. The recipe calls for a 2 to 1 ratio for sugar and olive oil. Adjust the amounts to make as much or as little of the scrub as you'd like. When the sugar and oil are mixed, stir in 2 to 3 finely chopped strawberries. Use a spoon or fork to muddle the fruit into the sugar and oil mixture until they are just combined. Avoid overmixing the berries into the sugar mixture. It can cause the sugar granules to dissolve. The strawberries help brighten and tone your skin. When all of the ingredients are combined, spoon the scrub into a jar or other container with a lid. Keep it in the refrigerator, and it will stay fresh for up to two weeks. To use the scrub, apply it to a dry face with clean fingers. Use a circular motion to rub it into the skin and gently buff away dead skin cells. Be careful not to rub too hard with the scrub. The skin on the face is fragile and can easily become irritated if you scrub too hard. After you've applied the scrub, wash it off with warm water. Use a clean towel to gently dry your face, and apply your usual serum, moisturizer, and/or other treatment products. You can use the scrub one to two times a week for brighter, clearer skin.

Mix the sugar and olive oil. Add the chopped berries and muddle into the sugar mixture. Transfer to covered container and store in the fridge. Massage the scrub over dry skin. Rinse off the scrub with water and pat your face dry.
Article: These are a major source of dust that are often overlooked in the home. DVD players, stereos, video game consoles, and other electronic gadgets can attract a lot of dust. Unplug the equipment before dusting. You can swipe a microfiber cloth over all sides of these surfaces to remove dust. If there is any dust in cracks and crevices of larger machines, use a long-handled dusting wand to remove. In addition to dusting off the surface of these devices, check for dust around them. Vacuum dust from along cords and vents, as a lot of dust tends to gather in these places. Some people may use compressed air to get dust out of electronics. This may be safe for some electronics, but you should always read the manufacturer's instructions first. Compressed air may be too strong for certain electronic devices. If you have kids, or collect plush toys as hobby, these can be a major source of dust. As regular machine washing can cause wear and tear to toys, there's a simple way to remove dust without throwing them in with the laundry. Baking soda can actually draw out soil and dust from these items. Put all toys into a large plastic bag. If you have a lot of toys, you may need more than one. Pour one cup of baking soda into the bag. Tie the top of the bag and shake it well. Take the bag outside. Remove the toys one by one, and shake them off as you go to remove any clumps of baking soda. Dust under large appliances can actually be a major health concern. In addition to dust, other debris can gather, attracting bugs and mice. Move the appliances away from the wall and unplug them. Use a slightly damp sponge mop and mop along the corners of the wall, removing dust and debris. Wipe the remainder of the floor with hot, soapy water. Press the appliance back against the wall and plug it back in. Remove dust from the corners of cabinets. These are other areas that are often neglected as they're difficult to reach. You can use a makeup brush or a paint brush to sweep dust out of these areas. Then, remove the dust you swept with a microfiber cloth. Vents can cause a buildup of dust in the air, so it should be removed. You can use a soft-brush vacuum attachment or an electrostatic mop to remove dust from these places. Run the mop or the vacuum over the vents, drawing out any dust. Wipe down the vent with a damp microfiber cloth. If there are any removable filters, such as an air conditioning filter, remove it and wash it in warm, soap water. Let it dry before putting it back in place. You should first place a drop cloth or newspapers on the floor around the lamp. A lot of built up dust will fall off of the ceiling fan. Take a damp paper towel and a step stool. Stand on top of the stool and gently wipe down the built up dust on the fan's blades. Make sure the device is turned off first. This is one case where a mild cleanser should be applied to a microfiber cloth, as the dust will likely be stuck on. Wet your cloth with a mild cleanser and gently wipe off the remaining dust on the fan's blades.
