Article: Key to earning as much money as possible during your Uber shift is limiting the times during which you aren't in your car. Rather than looking for parking and spending valuable time (and money) finding somewhere to buy food during lunchtime, consider packing a lunch or other meal that you can eat comfortably from your car while pulled over. Your bodily needs are unavoidable during a long day of work, but you can limit the time and gas you spend looking for places to use the restroom by searching your map for public restrooms in the area where you're working. If a passenger requests a destination that is in a suburb or less densely populated area, it's important not to stay there after the trip is complete. You'll find much higher demand for Uber in busy urban areas, so always make an effort to search for new passengers here rather than in less socially active places (especially ones where people are more likely to drive their own cars). Uber will often text drivers with advice on where to head to find lots of passengers. However, this causes lots of drivers to head to "high-demand" areas, reducing the likelihood of surge pricing and of all drivers even managing to find passengers. By merely avoiding the areas that Uber texts about, you increase your likelihood of finding passengers. Uber turns on surge pricing according to the number of Uber drivers operating in an area, which is determined by the number of drivers logged into the app at a given time. You can increase the likelihood (and rate) of surge pricing by logging out of the driver app just before typical surge price hours - for example, just before 1am on a Friday night or just before rush hour on a weekday - and then logging back in a few minutes later, after passengers have started requesting rides en masse. This increases both the likelihood that a surge will occur and the surge rate that passengers experience when requesting rides. While the driver app does not allow you to see other Uber cars in the area, the Uber passenger app does. If you find yourself without any passenger requests for an extended time, download and open the passenger app. You may find that the map shows you many other Uber cars in your immediate vicinity. When this happens, drive away from the other cars on the map (it may take less than even a mile) and you will increase the demand for your car's service. This trick involves a tradeoff between supply and demand of Uber cars. Ideally, you should drive as far away from other Ubers as possible without leaving a well-populated area, where the demand for Uber is likely to be high. The average Uber trip in the United States is 6.4 miles. By driving much longer than this to pick up a passenger, you greatly undermine the trip's value to you as a driver.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Stock up on food and water. Make a note of public restrooms. Head to central areas during downtime. Ignore Uber's texts. Increase surge fares. Use the passenger app. Don't drive over 10 miles to pick up a passenger.
Article: When using a fine-toothed saw, clamp the plastic you're cutting to a table or work bench with a C-clamp. Saw using the full length of the blade, and move the saw in smooth, quick back-and-forth motions through the material you're cutting. Using a saw with fine, small teeth will allow you to cut through thick plastic precisely and without destroying the plastic itself. While all saws will be able to cut through plastic, saws with large teeth will leave the plastic torn or shredded. Some of these fine-toothed saws look like a knife or straight-razor and can easily be used with one hand. A selection of fine-toothed saws may be available for purchase at hobby stores, since they're commonly used to cut plastic models and die-cast figurines. When cutting with a jigsaw, hold the object you're sawing firmly, or use a C-clamp to hold it on a table. Squeeze the trigger, so the blade is moving before you touch it to the plastic. Hold the saw's handle steady, and use firm pressure to press the blade through your plastic. A jigsaw will work best if you're cutting heavy-duty plastic, including PVC pipe. The blade of a jigsaw is about 8 inches (20cm) long, so won't lend itself to detailed cutting (for example, if you want to cut out a small circle of plastic). You can purchase jigsaws and other fine-toothed saws at your local hardware store. Start the table saw running, and set the plastic you want to cut on the flat surface of the saw table. Hold the plastic by its sides, and slowly push it forward until it engages the blade. Continue to push the plastic forward in a slow, steady motion, until the blade has cut through the entire plastic object. If you're cutting through thick plastic with a table saw, the heated saw blade may melt the plastic. Avoid this by cutting through heavy-duty plastic with a non-melt blade, which will not heat up enough to melt the plastic material. These blades will have evenly-spaced teeth which are set close together. Non-melt table saw blades should be available for purchase at a nearby hardware store.

There are a number of swatch libraries in the drop-down menu. These include, Earth tones, Natural, Kids Stuff, Metal, Color Properties, Skintones, and more. You can access Pantone swatches under Color books in the swatch libraries menu. This changes the color of the selected object in the artboard. It's a good idea to stick to a few simple colors for a logo. If you want to add more advanced colors to a logo, create a full-color version of the logo on a third artboard. You can also use the gradient to add more complex color blends. However, it's best to do this on a third artboard with a full color copy of the logo.
