INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you swing the hammer without double-checking first, you can injure yourself or others passing by. Before you start banging away, take a glance over your shoulder to ensure no one is behind you and that there are no overhanging items.  For instance, look behind you to ensure there are no wires hanging from above that your hammer could catch. Without peeking behind you, you may accidentally hit someone while getting ready to swing the hammer. If your grip is loose, the hammer may go flying as you swing it, which could injure yourself or the object you’re working on. Squeeze the handle firmly as you use it so the hammer stays in place.

SUMMARY: Look behind you before you swing the hammer to avoid injuries. Hold the hammer tightly so it doesn’t slip out of your hands.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This will form a decorative waistband that you'll attach to the leggings with hot glue. You can cut any pattern you desire into the sequin fabric, like wavy lines or straight lines, for example. You'll need the gold sequin fabric to be long enough to fit around the waistband of your leggings. Lay the leggings out flat on your work surface with the front side facing up. Apply a line of hot glue to the waistband of the leggings. Then:  Quickly press the front of your cut, gold sequin decorative waistband into place on top of it. Take care not to burn yourself on hot glue. Repeat this process on the reverse side of the leggings so that your gold sequin waistband wraps all the way around and is on top of the waistband of the leggings. If you find your pants to be a little plain, you can accent them in the same way you did to the top of the costume. You could use more circular, gold dot stickers, perhaps up and down the side of each leg. You might also want to use your glue to attach other decorations, like fake gemstones and more.

SUMMARY: Cut your gold sequin fabric. Hot glue your gold sequin waistband to the leggings. Add accents, if desired.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If the total length of the dress falls within these measurements, it is a very short dress that will sit on the upper to mid thigh, known as a micro or mini dress. This means the dress will sit just above the knee or just at the knee, known as a cocktail length dress. If you are very tall or very short, the dress may hit you differently in the knee area depending on your height. This means the dress will fall just below the knee or at the calves, known as a midi dress. This means the dress will be fairly long, falling at your ankles or to the floor, known as a maxi dress.

SUMMARY: Notice if the dress length is between 30 to 35 inches (76 to 89 cm). Check if the dress measures between 36 to 40 inches (91 to 102 cm). Notice if the dress length is between 41 to 45 inches (100 to 110 cm). Check if the dress measures between 55 to 62 inches (140 to 160 cm).


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Rinse the frozen fish in cold water to remove ice crystals from the surface. Avoid warm water, since this can promote bacterial growth and waterlog your fish.  Always wash your hands in warm, soapy water before handling raw fish. If the fish has not been gutted, use the thawing method below instead, then remove the inedible portions. Pat the fish dry with a paper towel. This will remove additional ice crystals, as well as the moisture clinging to the fish scales. Thick slabs of frozen fish will take a long time to cook, but you can reduce this by wrapping them in foil or parchment pouches. The ice crystals in the fish will turn to steam, remain trapped in the packet, and help cook the fish more quickly. Increasing the cooking speed is especially important for high-heat cooking methods, as described below:  Grill fish in tightly closed foil packets, to prevent the outside charring while the inside cooks. If pan-searing the fish, do not wrap the fish. Instead, cover the pan once the fish begins releasing juices, to trap steam that helps cook the fish evenly. Cooking the fish for a couple minutes will melt some of the ice on the exterior. This makes it easier to rub oil, butter, or marinade into the fish, and to get spices to stick. If you are breading the fish, you can place them fully frozen in a pan and cover with a thick layer of bread crumbs and spices. You can cook frozen fish however you would normally cook fish, or look in the recipes section for ideas. Frozen fish can take twice as long to cook as fresh fish, but you're still saving time by skipping the thawing stage. This is only a general time estimate, and the actual amount of time required varies base on the thickness of the fish. Check on the fish every couple minutes, using the following tips to tell when its done:  Cut a slit with a sharp knife. When done, the fish will be completely opaque near the surface, and just starting to become opaque in the center.  If you have a food thermometer, cook the fish to an internal temperature of 145ºF (62.8ºC).

SUMMARY:
Rinse the fish in cold water. Dry the fish. Use special techniques for thick fish or high-heat cooking. Season the fish partway through cooking. Cook for twice as long as you would fresh fish.
