INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Take action as soon as possible after the chocolate has been rubbed into the carpet. As with most stains, the longer you leave it, the tougher it will be to remove. You can use a paper towel to blot excess chocolate, or scrape it gently with a dull knife.  If you choose to use a knife, place the removed chocolate onto a paper towel.  Wipe the knife frequently to avoid smearing or grinding in the chocolate. If the chocolate is soft, chill it with an ice cube or frozen package to make it easier to chip out with the knife. Different carpets react to stain removal techniques in different ways. Using the wrong removal method could cause the stain to become permanent or leave a worse mark than the stain itself.  Determine if your carpet is made of natural or synthetic fiber, as this will affect the types of liquid cleaners that are safe to use. If you're in any doubt about your carpet's suitability, contact a professional carpet cleaner. Before trying out any cleaning solutions, test a small amount on a patch of carpet. Wait 20 minutes to ensure the product will not damage your carpet. If your carpet starts to turn brown or lighter in color, immediately rinse the solution with cold water. Stop and call a professional. These will protect your hands from the chemicals in the cleaning solutions. You may also want to put on an old t-shirt just in case any other cleaning solutions splashes onto your clothing.

SUMMARY: Act quickly. Remove excess chocolate. Check the carpet type. Do a patch test. Put on a pair of rubber gloves.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Start by stating in simple terms what happens in the female body during a normal 28-day menstrual cycle.

Describe how hormone levels drop right before a woman starts her period, which may cause sadness, irritability, or mood swings. Tell her that this is common and completely normal. Reassure her that there will always be ways for her to cheer herself up when she experiences these emotions, and that it won't last long. PMS symptoms and menstrual cramps are difficult symptoms that most women have to deal with.

Tell her about some reliable remedies, such as:  A hot water bottle or heating pad to relieve cramps. Taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to reduce the intensity of cramps. Exercising and eating healthy to reduce bloating during PMS. Stock your bathroom with sanitary pads and tampons so they are ready for your daughter when she gets her first period.

You should also give her a small carry-case of these supplies to bring to school when the time comes.  Tell her how and when to dispose of pads or tampons properly.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Vectors can be easily rescaled without losing image quality. If you're using the silhouette professionally, or just want a more versatile final image, this is the way to go. Adobe Illustrator (AI) uses vectors almost exclusively. If using AI, skip the quick route and use this method. If you've duplicated the layer already to ensure that you don't ruin the original image, you should be fine. Just make sure you have a second layer to work with above your original image. To create a new layer, press ⌘ Cmd+⇧ Shift+N or Ctrl+⇧ Shift+N Choose the Pen Tool (P) from the toolbar. In the menu that appears at the top of Photoshop, find the small drop-down menu that says "Path." It should be to the top right of the screen, but only when the Pen Tool is on. Change this menu to say "Shape." Taking your time, trace out the shape of your silhouette. To make things easier to see, lower the opacity of the new layer you're working on by changing "Opacity" from the top of the layers panel. Once you return to the starting point your dots should disappear and the shape will form in front of you. Raise the opacity back up to 100% to see your silhouette. Once this shape is made, you can do anything with it that you might normally. If you want to isolate it so your image is only the silhouette, either delete the layers below it or click and drag the image to a new Photoshop document.

SUMMARY:
Use vector silhouettes if you want to adjust, grow, shrink or export your silhouettes without losing quality. Create a new layer above your original image. Select the image you want silhouetted with the Pen Tool. Use the Pen Tool to trace out your entire silhouette. Connect the dots back to finish your silhouette. Click and drag the silhouette into its own image, to Illustrator, or leave it to finish your silhouette.
