INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are several online services available that can attempt to fix your corrupt PowerPoint file. Avoid using these for presentations with sensitive material, as you're essentially handing the file over to strangers. Some popular sites include: online.officerecovery.com/powerpoint/ onlinefilerepair.com/repair Click the "Choose File" button and browse for your corrupted presentation file. Once you've found it, upload it to the online repair service. The time this will take will depend on the service's current queue, but should only take a few minutes at most. After the recovery process is complete, you'll receive an email with a link to view your recovered slides. Depending on the service, you may get this link directly through the website instead. The recovery service may not have been able to completely restore the presentation, but you'll receive every slide that it could possibly extract.

SUMMARY: Visit an online PowerPoint recovery site. Upload your presentation file. Wait for the recovery process to finish. Open the email with your recovered data. Review the slides you were able to recover.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Prior to applying makeup, you must properly prepare your skin for the application. To remove dirt and oils, thoroughly cleanse your skin with a gentle facial wash product. Dab your face dry with a clean towel. If there are any traces of makeup remaining, scrub your face in small circles with a cotton ball or swab dipped in makeup remover. Avoid face washes that contain exfoliants. Exfoliants cause your skin to redden.
Summary: Wash your face.

If you are trying to introduce it into an existing conversation among friends, use a short introductory phrase to begin the story, such as: "You know, that reminds me of a story" or "It's funny you should mention that, just the other day, I was" It's important to get the first laugh as quickly as possible, ideally in the first 30 seconds. Don't worry about setting up an elaborate, detailed scene or mentioning what happened the night before, unless it's full of funny details that get to the point. If you can't tell the story in less than thirty seconds, make sure the first thirty seconds and compelling and entertaining. Don't trail off, don't look away from people and don't stutter. Try to relax and tell the story in a casual tone, like you're telling it to a good friend. Because you have practiced the story beforehand and gotten used to telling the material well, it should be easy to act like a confident storyteller. Well-timed hand movements and facial expressions can really liven up the details of the story and keep your listener engaged. Don't forget to also vary your voice and pause before the punchline. As in all comedy, timing is very important and will contribute to a good telling. Don't be afraid to look your audience in the eye as you delve into the details of the story. Eye contact also indicates you are confident and comfortable in front of your audience. Most listeners will only remember the last part or punchline of a story. If the ending is flat, it will likely ruin the funnier details in the set up. Remember not to laugh yourself. Ideally, you want to leave the audience laughing and wanting more. Desperation, no matter how smoothly it's presented, is never funny. If your story doesn't get the big laugh you were hoping for, shrug it off. Wrap up the story with a smile and say something like: "Well, I guess you had to be there" or "I guess it really can't be translated from the original German". Don't focus on the story if it doesn't go over as well as you had hoped. The best way to recover is to laugh at yourself (even if no one else did) and move on to another topic or subject.

One-sentence summary -- Introduce the story. Be brief. Be confident. Remember to use your hands and face. Make eye contact. Try to end on the biggest laugh. Move on if your audience doesn't laugh.

Q: Do not touch the metal probes while connecting them to a circuit. If the insulation looks worn or torn, wear electrically insulated gloves or purchase replacement leads. The two metal probes should never touch each other while they are connected to a circuit, or severe sparking could result. Test circuits for voltage by attaching the leads in parallel. In other words, you'll touch the probes to two points an already-closed circuit, with current running through it. On a battery, touch the black lead to the negative terminal. In a wall outlet, touch the black lead into the neutral hole, which in the US is the larger vertical hole, or the vertical hole on the left. Whenever possible, let go of the black test lead before moving on. Many black probes have a small plastic bump that can stick into an outlet. This will complete the parallel circuit and cause the meter to display the voltage. On a battery, touch the red lead to the positive terminal. In a wall outlet, fit the red lead into the "hot" hole in the US, this is the smaller, vertical or the vertical hole on the right. Immediately raise the range to a higher voltage setting if you get one of the following results, before your device is damaged: Your digital display reads "OL," "overload," or "1." Note that "1V" is a real reading, and nothing to worry about. Your analog needle shoots to the other side of the scale. You may need to make adjustments if a digital voltmeter display reads 0V or nothing at all, or if an analog voltmeter's needle has barely moved. If there is still no reading, try the following in order: Make sure the test probes are both connected to the circuit. If you are measuring a DC circuit and get no result, look for a small knob or switch on your device labeled DC+ and DC- and move it to the other position. If your device does not have this option, reverse the positions of the black and red probes. Reduce the range by one setting. Repeat if necessary until you get a real reading. A digital voltmeter will clearly display the voltage on its electronic screen. An analog voltmeter is a little more complicated, but not too tough once you learn the ropes. Continue reading for instructions.
A: Hold the probes safely. Touch the black test lead to one part of the circuit. Touch the red test lead to another point on the circuit. Raise the range if you get an overload reading. Adjust the voltmeter if necessary. Read the voltmeter.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Many air purifiers use non-washable HEPA filters. Turn off and unplug your appliance before accessing the filter. Check your product manual for specific instructions on how to access your appliance's filter. At least one foam or activated charcoal filter usually accompanies a non-washable HEPA filter. These accompanying filters typically need to be rinsed for two to three minutes, or until water runs clear. Towel dry your foam or activated charcoal filters, then let them air dry completely for at least 24 hours. Use your vacuum cleaner's hose with a nozzle or brush attachment to clean your non-washable HEPA filter. Run the attachment over the filter until you've removed all debris. Take care not to puncture the filter with the vacuum attachment. Reassemble your appliance after the washable filters have dried. You can wrap the HEPA filter tightly in plastic while you're waiting for the other filters to dry or during any other extended period of non-use. Some air purifiers have an electronic filter clean reminder. If yours has one, reset it after cleaning your filter.

SUMMARY:
Remove the filter from your appliance. Wash your appliance's other filters. Run a vacuum cleaner hose attachment over the filter. Reassemble the appliance.
