INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place a large glass or metal bowl in the refrigerator about an hour before making your whipped cream. Refrigerate a pair of metal beaters from a hand mixer as well. Keep your cream refrigerated right up until the moment you plan to make your whipped cream. Chilling the equipment before making the whipped cream will make it easier to incorporate air into the cream. This will make the whipped cream lighter and fluffier. If you have a stand mixer, refrigerate the bowl and the whisk attachment. You can use a whisk to whip cream, but it will take vigorous whipping and a lot of extra time. Refrigerate the whisk if that's the tool you'll be working with. When you're ready to make your whipped cream, remove the bowl, beaters or whisk, and cream from the fridge. Pour the cream into the chilled bowl, along with the vanilla, and the cinnamon or nutmeg if you like. To sweeten the whipped cream, add 2 tablespoons (16 g) of powdered sugar to the bowl as well. Turn your stand or hand mixer to low speed and combine all the ingredients. Once the sugar and vanilla are incorporated into the cream, increase the speed to medium for about nine minutes, until stiff peaks begin to form. The stiff peak stage means that when you remove the whisk or beaters, the cream will hold its shape and won't melt back into the bowl as a liquid would. At the stiff peak stage, the whipped cream will have a slightly grainy texture. Whipped cream is great on pies, in hot chocolate, with ice cream, mixed with fruit, or even on breakfast dishes like pancakes and waffles. To serve whipped cream, you can use a spoon to portion out dollops, or transfer the cream to a pastry bag and pipe it onto cakes and other baked goods. Store leftovers in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap for up to a day.

SUMMARY: Chill your tools and ingredients. Combine all the ingredients. Beat the cream. Serve immediately with your favorite dishes.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This technique works best if you choose an eyeshadow in the same color as the eyeliner you plan to use for the wings. Otherwise, any neutral color like gray, black, or brown will work for this. Ditch your regular eyeshadow brush, and grab an eyeliner brush.

SUMMARY: Find an eyeshadow in a neutral color.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you need to convert an image file to another format, the easiest solution is often to use your operating system's default image editing software. In Windows, use "Paint" and on Mac use "Preview". Note that JPG and JPEG are different names for the same file extension. Look for either in your software's dropdown. Many other programs will also work - open the image in the software you're most comfortable with or if unsure try double-clicking to see the default option on your computer. This should bring up a drop down menu of options for the image file. Your format change will happen simultaneously with you saving a new version of the file. This is helpful because it means you will retain the original file in case anything goes wrong and you'd like to backtrack. You'll need to select an option like "Save As" or "Export" (for Mac) to continue the process. In some software versions, you may need to first "Duplicate" the file (i.e. make a copy) then "Save" that duplicate as a new format. A window should pop up that allows you to adjust the file name as well as the file extension/format. Within the menu dropdown labeled either "Format" or "Save as Type" there should be around 12 options, including ".jpeg" (also known as ".jpg"). Change the name of the file or the location of the file if desired, for instance putting it onto your desktop for easy access. If the extension you want to convert to isn't in the dropdown, try a different image editing software (e.g. Photoshop) or else move on to trying a different method. Once you are done determining the file's name, extension, and location on your computer, click "Save". This will effectively convert your file to the new extension while retaining a copy of the original. Software like "Preview" (and others) can also handle bulk file conversions - simply highlight the files you want converted and right click to see your options.

SUMMARY: Open the image file. Select "File" in your top menu. Save or Export the image file. Rename and reformat your file. Save the file.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Marble is very soft and prone to damage so it is important to apply a coat of high quality marble sealing agent before proceeding with the grout. This seal is also important because marble is very porous and grout can cause stains in the tiles. Apply the sealing agent over the tops of the marble. Even if you prefer the color and look of unsealed marble you can use a "grout release"-type sealer to prevent grout from sticking to the marble tiles. Grout, or mortar, will be used ot fill in the spaces between the tiles. Be sure to wear a dust mask, safety goggles, and heavy-duty work gloves. Wear a long-sleeve shirt to avoid any possible damage to your skin from contact with the grout. Mix only enough as will be used in 15-20 minutes of work or else the extra can dry out and harden. This prepares the spaces for the grout or mortar. Spread the concrete evenly over the spaces between the tiles using a squeegee. Be careful to avoid getting cement on the tops of the tiles. Some will inevitably get on top of the tiles but you want to minimize the amount. Try to push it into the spaces as much as possible to create a tight fight. Wipe up any grout on top of the tiles as you go. Use a squeegee to spread out the grout and leave a smooth surface in the cracks. You can also use a gloved finger to run down the grooves and smooth the top of the grout. Use a damp sponge to wipe down the tops of the tiles to remove any excess grout. Try not to get extra moisture into the grout or else it can make it too wet. Allow the grout to dry for the length of time required by the manufacturer. Some will require long curing times to ensure maximum strength. Use a disposable sponge applicator to paint the grout with a grout sealer. This will help prevent stains and dirt from permanently discoloring the grout. It will also make cleaning easier later on. Clean your tools with water or acetone to remove the excess grout or mortar and prepare them for use once again.

SUMMARY:
Seal the marble. Mix grout according to the instructions on the packaging. Dampen the spaces between the tiles using a moist sponge. Fill the spaces with cement. Use a squeegee to spread out the grout. Use a clean sponge to wipe down the surface of the marble tiles. Allow the grout to dry. Seal the grout. Clean tools with water or acetone.
