INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can use Telnet to check if a certain port is open on your local router or access point. Here's how to enable it:  Type windows features in to the search bar. If you don't see the search bar, click the circle or magnifying glass to the right of the Start menu. Click Turn Windows features on or off. Check the box next to Telnet Client and click OK. Click Close when the app is finished installing. Here's how:  Type cmd into the Windows search bar. Click Command prompt in the search results. This displays a bunch of network information. The address that appears next to "Default Gateway" in the ipconfig results is the local address of your router. This opens the Microsoft Telnet prompt. For example, if you wanted to see if port 25 is open on your router, and your router's IP address is 10.0.0.1, you would type open 10.0.0.1 25. Telnet will try to connect to the port.  If you see a message that says "Please press Enter" or "Press any key to continue," the port is open. If you see a message that says "Could not open connection," the port is not open.

SUMMARY: Enable Telnet for Windows. Open a command prompt. Type ipconfig at the prompt and press ↵ Enter. Write down the router's IP address. Type telnet at the prompt and press ↵ Enter. Type open (router's IP address) (port number). Press ↵ Enter.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Land snails enjoy eating a wide variety of foods, mainly fresh produce. In a pinch, land snails also like to eat tortoise food that has been soaked in water. However, the bulk of your snail's diet should come for fruits and veggies, as well some seeds and cooked grains. The following foods are safe for snails:  Fruits: apples, apricot, grapes, kiwi, mango, melon, nectarine, raspberry, strawberry. Veggies: cucumber, mushroom, tomato, lettuce, broccoli, green beans, peas, sprouts, sweet corn, turnip, watercress.  Seeds: sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds. Cooked grains: oats, rice. It will be easier for your snail to eat hard vegetables if you boil them beforehand. Just make sure they're not hot when you give them to your snail. Use a vegetable shredder or kitchen knife to chop all produce before you feed it to your snails. Snails are sensitive to chemicals and pesticides, so be sure you use organic produce, and to wash it well before feeding it to your snail. There is not a hard and fast rule about how much food a land snail should eat, and you'll have to figure out how much food your snail needs over time. If your snail is consuming all of the food you're providing, you can offer more. Remove any food that isn't consumed within 24 hours. Don't give your snail snack foods, or foods that contain sugar or salt. Snails also have trouble digesting millet, pasta, crackers, and bread. You do not need to provide snails with water to drink, but you do need to make sure their environment is humid enough. Place a shallow dish filled with spring water for your snail to bathe in. Replace the water every 1-2 days.  Never use tap water or faucet water, since these water sources may contain chlorine that's harmful to snails. If you don't have access to filtered water, you can leave tap water out in the sun for 48 hours to remove chemicals. You can also help your snail to stay hydrated by misting them with water. Fill a spray bottle with spring or filtered water, and mist your snail and their habitat. If you live in a very dry climate, try misting your snail 1-2 times per day. Snails need a lot of calcium in order to keep their shells healthy. A great option is a cuttlebone because you can simply break off pieces and place them in the tank for your snail to nibble on. Other calcium sources should be crushed and added to your snail's food. Other calcium sources include:  Shells from dead snails Calcium powder Powdered oyster shells Natural chalk Natural limestone Bone meal Wood ash

SUMMARY: Select fruit, vegetables, seeds, and grains that are safe for snails. Chop or shred produce into pieces smaller than a dime. Start by providing 0.25 cups (59 ml) of food each day. Avoid processed foods, and foods that are hard for snails to digest. Fill a water dish with spring water. Spray your snails with spring water every 1-2 days. Keep a calcium source in the tank at all times.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Grease the two cake tins then line with baking parchment. Nobody wants to eat a cake that has been handled by dirty hands do they? Then get self-raising flour, two eggs, caster sugar, unsalted butter (or a butter meant for cooking) and vanilla essence or extract. Make sure your work surface is clear (as clear as it can be with this many items!) Pour into the bowl, making sure not to spill any. Cut into small chunks, then put it in the bowl as well. Cream it together in the same way you would spread icing over a cake. Push it to the sides of the bowl. Eventually, it should look like it isn't two separate ingredients. Make sure not to get any shell in there. Mix it with the sugar and the butter. Don't worry if it looks disgusting - just make sure it doesn't curdle. Fold it in. The mixture should turn creamy and yellow. It should not be dough. Mix thoroughly. Mix thoroughly into the cake mixture. Cook for 20 minutes. Stick a fork into each of them, and if it comes out clean (without any cake mixture on) then they are ready.  Please make sure you remove the baking parchment.

SUMMARY:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/Fan 160 degrees C/Gas 4. Wash your hands. Get out a big bowl, weighing scales, a wooden spoon (or electric cake mixer), and a sieve. Weigh 100 grams (4 oz) of caster sugar. Measure 100 grams (4 oz) of butter. Cream the sugar and the butter together. Break the 2 eggs into the bowl. Sieve 100 grams (4 oz) of self raising flower into the mixture. (Optional) add between one and four teaspoons of vanilla essence/extract into the mixture for a unique vanilla taste. Divide the mixture evenly between two 15 cm (6 inch) cake tins. After 20 minutes, check the cakes are ready. Being careful not to burn yourself, take the cakes out of the oven. Leave in the cake tins to cool for a few minutes, then take it out of the cake tin and place on a wire cooling rack.
