Q: Spread a towel out on your counter so that it doesn't get dirty. You can use an old sweatshirt or shirt instead of a towel. Open up your makeup bag, then dump everything out onto the towel. If the bag is dirty inside, you should wipe it down with disinfecting wipes. If you can't get the bag clean, consider getting a smaller makeup bag with a nylon, plastic, or vinyl lining. This includes things like used makeup sponges, dirty Q-tips and tissues, and wrappers. If you have any makeup that is broken or expired (generally after six months), toss it out as well. Write down the brand and color of whatever makeup item you are tossing so that you can replace it with the same product. Get out some disinfectant wipes, then use them to wipe off any dirt or grime from your makeup cases. Clean your brushes using a brush cleaner or some water and mild soap. Take a moment to sharpen your pencils too. If you don't have disinfectant wipes, use a paper towel soaked in rubbing alcohol instead. Be sure to set your brushes out on a clean towel to dry. Place all of your eyeshadow into 1 group, your lipstick into another, your foundation into a third, and so forth. This will help you see how many of each item you have in your bag. Keep all of your brushes in 1 group. If they are still drying, leave them on their towel. If you only have 1 palette of blush and 1 palette of eyeshadow, you can keep them in the same group. Alternatively, sort your makeup into 3 piles: a daily-use pile, an occasional-use pile, and a rarely-use pile. If you are taking the makeup bag with your to work or school, you don't need to carry everything with you. Instead of having 2 foundations, 5 eyeshadow palettes, and a whole host of lipstick, limit yourself to just 1 of each. If you sorted your items into 3 groups, put away the items in the occasional and rarely-use piles. Keep the basics. This includes things like mascara, tweezers, lotion, and Q-tips. If your bag has compartments, make use of them! Use skinny slots for pencils, and wider slots for mascara and lip gloss. Put palettes into pouches, and everything else into the main body of the bag. If you sorted your items into 3 groups, only the items in the daily-use pile should go into your bag.
A: Empty your bag. Remove any trash and broken or expired makeup. Clean your makeup cases and brushes. Sort the items into groups. Prune out the items you don't need or use. Put everything back into the bag.

Article: Microsoft Paint is usually found on your Start menu or in the accessories folder. Begin creating the image you'd like to make into a GIF, or use the tools to manipulate an image you're using as the base for your design. Remember the shapes, colors, brushes, lines, and resizing options at your disposal in the toolbar. Unlike JPGs, GIFs can make flawless copies even at high compression if the image has large areas of uniform color and no more than 256 colors total. Keep your image simple, as GIF only allows a maximum of 256 colors. This is why it's not great to save photos in GIF format. Since photos often contain more than 256 colors, saving a photo as a GIF might reduce image color quality. Simpler images, however, are excellent candidates for the GIF file format. Text and fonts. Since text and fonts tend to have a limited color paletteeven just black and whitethey tend to be particularly good in GIF format. Logos and icons. Like text, logos and icons tend to have dense, uniform, and limited colors. These qualities make logos and icons similarly strong as GIFs. Line drawings and clip art. These have limited color palettes and are relatively easy to create in Paint. One advantage of GIFs is that, unlike JPG files, they support transparent backgrounds. This means that your GIF can blend with background colors, if necessary. The same GIF then could be set against a white background or a black background, for example. PNG files are best for partial transparency images. Though GIFs can support transparent backgrounds, they cannot themselves be partially transparent.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Open Paint. Design your image. Make GIFs with uniform colors. Keep it simple. Develop for a background.

Q: oodbye now. Putting off going to visit a loved one in the hospital is always a mistake, as is waiting until the last days before a friend leaves the country forever. Don't miss out on your chance to say goodbye and brighten their final moments. Alone in the hospital can be a terrible place to die. Be in the room and say what needs to be said. Spend as much time with your loved one as possible. Be with him or her and support them. Often, the dying want and are very comforted by one of four very particular messages: "I love you," "I forgive you," "Please forgive me," or "Thank you." If any of these seem appropriate, take care to include them in your goodbye. We often have the impression that death or other "forever" goodbyes are supposed to be a somber and joyless thing. But follow the lead of the person leaving. Your role is to be there for them and to comfort them in a time of need. If laughter is desired, or seems natural, then laugh. It can be hard to know how honest to be with the dying. If you're visiting an ex-spouse or an estranged sibling, there can be lots of tension burbling under the surface, and complicated emotions at work in their passing. The hospital doesn't seem like the best time to let loose and tell off your father for being absent. If you feel like the truth will hurt the person dying, recognize this and change the subject. Say, "You don't need to worry about me today" and change the subject. It can be tempting to want to be overly optimistic, saying "No, there's still a chance. Don't give up" if a loved one says, "I'm dying." There's no need to dwell on something neither of you know for sure. Change the subject to, "How are you feeling today?" or reassure them by saying, "You look great today." Always speak gently and identify yourself as the person speaking. Even if you're not sure you're being heard, say what needs to be said. The goodbye process in death works both ways--make sure you don't regret not saying "I love you" one last time. Even if you're unsure if the person can hear you, say it, and you'll know. Both physically and emotionally, be in the room. It can be difficult to avoid becoming hyperaware of the significance of the moment: "Is that the last time he'll say, 'I love you'?" Every moment can feel tense and electric. But get out of your own way and try, as much as possible, to experience the moments for what they are: time with a loved one. Often, the dying have a great amount of control over the actual moment of their death and will wait until they're alone to save their loved ones the pain of experiencing it. Likewise, many family members are committed to being there, "To the end." Be aware of this and try not to put too much emphasis on the exact moment of death. Say goodbye when it seems appropriate.
A:
now. Do what feels appropriate. Tell the truth, selectively. Keep talking. Be present.
