INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Turn on the faucet and wait for the water to heat up to a comfortable temperature before lowering the stopper. You want it to be warm to the touch, but not too hot. Run enough water to completely submerge the shirt you want to stretch. Overheating polyester and similar synthetics, even in water, could cause them to warp or lose their shape for good. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of conditioner for every 1 quart (0.95 L) of water. Pour the conditioner directly into the water, then whisk the water gently with your hand until the conditioner is evenly distributed throughout.  Conditioner can be useful for softening clothing fibers, just as it’s useful for softening hair. If you’re fresh out of conditioner, you can also use an equal quantity of a gentle moisturizing shampoo. Baby shampoo is a good choice. Push the shirt down beneath the surface of the water to make sure that it’s thoroughly saturated. Set a timer for at least 15 minutes. As the shirt sits, the combination of warm water and conditioner will encourage the tense threads to relax and lengthen. After about half an hour, the water will have mostly cooled down and won’t have as much of an effect. Pull up the stopper and allow the water to drain out of the sink. Then, grab your shirt and press, squeeze, and twist it to coax out any lingering moisture. By the time you’re done, your shirt should be slightly damp, but not wet.  Don’t be afraid to get rough with 100% polyester shirts—all that force will also serve to loosen up the stubborn fibers. Avoid wringing or twisting blended garments that contain cotton or wool. Natural fabrics are less resilient, and doing so could stretch them out permanently. Take hold of the edges of the garment and tug on them to stress the fabric in every direction. For an even greater stretch, you can also slip both hands inside the torso or sleeves and push the material apart from within. Basically, imagine that the shirt is a ball of pizza dough and you’re whipping up a family-sized pie. Just don’t toss it into the ceiling fan!  Pay particular attention to any parts of the shirt that fit too snugly, like the chest, shoulders, neckline, or bottom hem. If you start to get tired, look for other creative ways to loosen up your shirt. You might wrap the whole garment around a post, swing it around like nunchucks, or stand on one end and pull the other end up towards you. Once you’re satisfied with the shape of your shirt, smooth it out nice and flat and set books or other flat, heavy objects along the edges. This will help the fibers retain their new shape while drying rather than shrinking the way they normally would. Lay your shirt out on a towel to absorb any remaining moisture and cut down on its overall drying time. Polyester dries fairly quickly, so you shouldn’t have to wait long. Garments made from blended fabrics may take a little longer. Once the shirt feels dry, put it on and see if you can feel a difference in the fit! It may keep its new shape for a few hours if it's pure polyester, or until the next time you wash it if it's a blend.  If you prefer, you can also try hanging your shirt up on a shower curtain or towel rack as it dries—weight and gravity will help keep the damp fabric elongated. You’ll get the best results when working with blended fabrics, as natural fibers tend to stretch more easily and stay stretched out longer.

SUMMARY: Fill your sink or a similar container with warm water. Add a small amount of hair conditioner to the water. Soak your shirt in the water for 15-30 minutes. Remove the shirt and wring out as much water as possible. Stretch your shirt to the desired fit by hand. Use a few heavy items to keep your shirt stretched out as it dries. Allow your shirt to air dry before wearing it.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The shelf life for red meat is approximately 1-3 days if it is raw and 7-10 days if it is cooked. Throw away any meat that has passed this expiration date to avoid food poisoning. How long your meat will last in the fridge depends on whether it is ground or cut. Ground meat can be left in the fridge for between 1-2 days past its sell-by date. Chopped meats, steaks, and roasts can last between 3-5 days. Meat can last longer if it is frozen. If your meat has been in the fridge for a few days and you have no plans of using it, freeze it to avoid spoilage. If your meat smells rancid, it most likely is. Spoiled red meat has a distinct, pungent scent. Throw your meat away if it has a bad odor, especially if the meat's expiration date has passed. Do not press your nose against or near the meat to smell it. Instead, cup your hand near the meat and move the hand towards your face to get a whiff of the meat. Meat that turns green or greenish-brown is usually unsafe for eating, though browning without a greenish hue is not necessarily a sign of rotting. An iridescent sheen is a sign of exposure to heat, light, and/or processing and is not necessarily a sign of spoilage or decreased quality. When in doubt about a meat's color, throw it away. Spoiled red meat is sticky to the touch. If you can feel a slimy coating over the meat, throw it away. This often means that bacteria have started to multiply on the meat.
Summary: Examine the meat's package for an expiration date. Throw out red meat that has been in your fridge for over 5 days. Check the meat for a foul smell. Avoid eating red meat with a greenish hue. Check the meat's texture.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're buying something online or simply paying an individual in Bitcoin, you may be able to copy the information you need to complete the transaction from any type of wallet. However, if you want to pay for goods and services in person, you'll need to have Bitcoin in a wallet you can access on the go, such as a mobile wallet. Many brick-and-mortar merchants use apps, such as BitPay, to process their Bitcoin transactions. To use your mobile wallet, make sure it's compatible with the app the merchant is using. When you download the mobile wallet app, it will tell you which services it is compatible with. The individual or merchant you want to pay will give you the public address for their wallet or account. From your wallet, you'll send your Bitcoin to this address as payment.  Typically, you'll receive an invoice that specifies the amount of Bitcoin you owe the individual or merchant. Because Bitcoin value is volatile, this invoice will only be valid for a brief window of time – maybe 10 or 15 minutes. Many individuals and merchants provide a QR code that you can simply scan with your phone from your mobile wallet app to send your Bitcoin to the right place. Within your wallet app, choose the option to send your Bitcoin to another wallet. Enter the payment information the individual or merchant gave you along with the amount of Bitcoin you want to send them. Then tap or click the button to send the Bitcoin. If you scanned a QR code from within your wallet app, all of this information will be filled in for you. Look over it before you click send to make sure the amount of Bitcoin is correct. Once you submit your payment, the transaction is sent to the blockchain for confirmation. Miners (Bitcoin users with powerful computers) work to confirm the transaction. Typically it takes 10 to 30 minutes to confirm a transactions. Once your transaction is confirmed, it can't be reversed. If you're buying something from a brick-and-mortar merchant, you'll likely get whatever you bought before the transaction is actually confirmed. However, you may be sent another invoice for payment if the transaction isn't confirmed or if it takes several hours to confirm.

SUMMARY:
Transfer the Bitcoin you want to use to an accessible wallet. Copy or scan the payment information. Send your Bitcoin to the address you copied. Wait for the transaction to be confirmed.
