INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Inkscape is a free, open-source vector editing program that is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. You can download it from inkscape.org. Inkscape includes a bitmap tracing tool that will attempt to automatically convert your raster image into a vector. Click "File" "Open" and browse for the bitmap image that you want to convert into a vector. Simple images and logos are best suited for this process. You'll have a difficult time getting adequate results when attempting to auto-trace a photograph. After loading the bitmap, you'll need to click it to select it on the canvas. Once you have the bitmap selected, you can open the auto-tracing tool. Click "Path" "Trace Bitmap", or press Shift+Alt+B. There are three different modes available for creating a single path. The "path" is the line tracing of your image. Selecting each one will update the Live Preview, allowing you to get a feel for what they do. These three options will help you to create a basic outline which you can then manually edit yourself. Use the "Threshold" options to adjust how the scan is processed. For the "Brightness cutoff", a threshold of 0.0 will be black, while a threshold of 1.0 will be white. For the "Edge detection", the threshold is the same and determines whether the pixel will be counted as part of the border or not. Increase the number of scans to increase the number of colors that appear. This can be an inaccurate tool, and may not be able to provide good results for complex images. Once you're happy with the results, click OK to apply them to the image. Click "Path" "Simplify" or press Ctrl+L to reduce the number of nodes. This will result in a lower-quality image, but the end result will be much easier to edit. This is located in the toolbox on the left side of the screen. You can also press F2. This will allow you to select and move nodes to edit the image. For detailed instructions on editing nodes in Inkscape, see this article. You can use the tools in the left toolbar to create shapes and lines. Use these to touch-up or replace parts of the trace that didn't turn out right. Once you've created a shape or line, you can use the nodes to adjust the curve and shape of the object. Click the "Convert selected object to path" button ( Shift+Ctrl+C) to edit the nodes shapes that you've created. Once you are satisfied with your new vector art, you can save it as a vector image. Click "File" "Save As" and choose one of the vector file formats from the drop-down menu. SVG is one of the most common vector formats.

SUMMARY: Download and install Inkscape. Open the bitmap image in Inkscape. Select the image. Open the tracer. Select the path mode. Select the "Colors" option if you are trying to create an exact copy of a simple image. Optimize the paths once you're finished. Click the "Edit paths by nodes" button. Add your own lines. Save the file.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: For the bun, you'll need a rectangular scarf. Carefully create a thin band from it by folding it in on itself lengthwise several times. The finished band should be 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8-cm). Once the scarf is folded into a band, place it around the base of your ponytail. Tie it into a knot over the hair elastic so an equal amount of the scarf is on either side of ponytail. Ideally, you should use a scarf that is roughly the same length as your hair when it's tied around the ponytail.
Summary: Fold a scarf into a thin band. Wrap the scarf around the base of your ponytail.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: firmly against your shoulder. Pull the hammer to full-cock, and aim the muzzle at your target. Be sure that no one is standing directly beside you in front of the touch hole. Sparks will fly and you want to make sure everyone is clear of the expulsion. Always wear the appropriate ear and eye protection when firing a muzzleloader. It's loud. Practice good gun safety. Look down the length of the barrel through the open sights. When all three sights are in line both vertically and horizontally upon the target you wish to hit, take a deep breath and hold it. Some muzzleloaders don't have much in the way of sights. You can consider updating your old-school weapon by fitting it with more modern sights. This is especially recommended if you plan on hunting with your muzzleloader. Keep the rifle securely in your shoulder and follow through, holding your position and waiting until the smoke clears (there will be a lot) before dropping your posture and looking at your target. In a flintlock rifle, the flint will slam down, scraping down the inside of the frizzen and flipping open the flashpan, creating sparks which fall into the powder in the now open flashpan. This powder ignites, making a flash of flame which travels into the touch hole and ignites the main charge.

SUMMARY:
Secure the butt of the gun Aim the rifle. Remove the safety and squeeze the trigger.
