INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Dip a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and thoroughly wipe down your skin. This helps remove dirt and grease that might prevent the pencil from actually showing up on your skin. Let the rubbing alcohol air-dry completely before you start drawing. You can blow on the rubbing alcohol to get it to dry faster, but don't wipe it off. A sharp tip won't leave much of a mark, plus it could irritate your skin. Instead, pick a pencil that has been used and that hasn't been sharpened recently so that the tip is more rounded. If all you have is sharp pencils, rub one on some paper until the tip is worn down a little bit. The larger the surface area of the lead, the easier it'll be to draw on your skin.

SUMMARY: Use rubbing alcohol to clean the area where the tattoo will go. Opt for a pencil with a rounded tip rather than one that is sharp.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Bike shops are accustomed to stocking bikes for recreation, not for commuting, and the features on mountain bikes don't really benefit you as a commuter unless you're the aggressive type and need a more sturdy steed. Swap out the knobbies for durable slicks in this case but don't bother with full suspension. If most of your riding will presumably be done on pavement, you're better off with a hybrid, comfort, touring, road or singlespeed, designed for riding on pavement. You may also want to consider a recumbent bicycle. Ultimately, the most important factors when choosing a bike are comfort and efficiency. The hybrid is a bit more efficient where the comfort bike takes the bumps better; both feature a very comfy and upright pedaling position, good for taking the strain off your body. Touring bikes are beefier versions of road bikes but with more relaxed pedaling position, though usually not as relaxed as comfort/hybrid bikes. Track bikes have a fixed gear, so no rear brake is needed once you've gotten the hang of these stripped down speed machines. Watch out for your knees, though: a fixed gear means the pedals are directly linked to the rear wheel, eliminating the bike's ability to coast. Advanced fixer cyclists can ride a fixed gear bike in reverse by back-pedaling. A recumbent, whose lower center of gravity also takes getting used to, has a more powerful pedalling position, which is infinitely more comfortable. Faster recumbent bikes have pedals higher than or level with the seat. Lower pedals indicate a more comfort-oriented recumbent. Most recumbent bikes offer better aerodynamics than other bikes once you get up to speed, as well as a seat-back to add leverage against the pedals. The lower point of view makes you wish you could see through cars sometimes and must be recognized. Longer recumbent wheelbases are more stable, where shorter wheelbases are quicker and more maneuverable; test rides are generally offered at good recumbent shops, so take your time choosing and testing if you're looking to avoid the body pains of upright bikes. This means that if you buy a carbon-fiber bike you will most likely have to use a backpack, which can be hot on a summer day. Also, it may be more likely to fall over without a kickstand.

SUMMARY: Don't get sold on buying a mountain bike just because there are a lot of them. Hybrids and comfort bikes are the same thing, but have a wider version of the road bike wheel and tire (hybrid) or smooth version of the mountain bike-sized wheel and tire (comfort). Converted road and track bikes are quite the rage in flatter areas, with a single gear to maintain and no shifting to learn. Carbon fiber bikes generally don't allow bolt-on accessories, such as panniers and kickstands.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Stand facing one another about 2 feet (0.6m) apart and gently hold hands. You can also stand beside your partner shoulder-to-shoulder and do the basic steps in tandem - either while holding one another's waists and extending your free arms or without touching. And you can integrate the steps into the original style by simply replacing them with the sliding step. The leader will step back on his/her right foot as the follower steps back on his/her left. While doing this, let go of your partner's hand and extend your free arm. The leader will release and extend his or her right arm, and the follower his or her left. This creates an open area as both partners step back and come shoulder-to-shoulder. You also can wrap your arm around your partner's waist as you meet shoulder-to-shoulder and extend your free arm. Or you can combine the two. Each partner will now take the same foot and step back to neutral so they are face-to-face. Bring your free arm toward your partner while doing this, and hold hands again. Both partners should move their hips from side to side as they dance. Pause briefly when you are again face-to-face. Then step back on your other foot first (the leader's left and the partner's right) and repeat. Continue switching from side to side. The count will be 1 when you both step back, 2 when you place your opposite foot, 3 when your bring your other foot forward, 4 when you come back together, 5 when you move your other foot back, 6 when you place your opposite foot, 7 when you bring your foot forward, and 8 when you come back together.

SUMMARY: Stand facing your partner. Step backward at the same time. Come back together with your partner. Pause and repeat in the opposite direction.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: (See below for how to select.) Jobs will be available online at company websites and also on job search websites. Write a resume and cover letter template which can be personalized for specific positions. If the application is handwritten, fill out the entire application in neat block letters. Do not use script, because Americans can have problems reading writing from other countries. Provide references in the United States if possible. Offer an interview via Skype or other web conference. Many companies will ask for many interviews with different people. Send a thank you letter 3 to 4 days after your interview. In traditional companies, a paper letter is appropriate. For high tech jobs, you can follow up via email. You can offer to do consulting work (paid by the hour) in your home country with the company in the USA for several months, so they can better get to know you. You can offer to visit the company in the USA to get to know them before you get the job. Many have found success to moving to America as a student on a student visa, and then finding employment after you are in school. This only works if you can be admitted and pay for a school of course. It is best to choose a school and/or degree that makes it easy for you to get a job. Technical majors will find it easier to be sponsored for a visa by an American company.

SUMMARY:
Apply for jobs in the cities you have selected. Know that getting a work visa to the USA will always take several months minimum. Try moving to America as a student first.
