INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Called Tapsilog because it is a mixture of three foods, Tapa (beef), Sinangag (fried rice), and Itlog (fired egg), this is a classic Filipino breakfast. You want to add the egg when you only have 2-3 minutes left for the beef to cook. Cook one egg for every person eating. You want to rice to be slightly undercooked. You want enough oil to coat the rice. Cook it for 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are slightly see-through. You want the rice to be coated in the oil. Add any salt and pepper to taste and stir the rice regularly to prevent burning. If you have limited cooking space it is usually easiest to cook the rice ahead of time and reheat it before you eat. To reheat rice, put a drip of oil and 2-3 tablespoons of water in a skillet and cook the rice on low, covered, for 4-5 minutes. Stir regularly. Vinegar dipping sauce is simple to make if you have the ingredients. Simply mix the following in a bowl:  1 1/2 cup White Vinegar 1 medium Onion, chopped 4 cloves Garlic, chopped 2 tablespoon Soy Sauce 1 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon Sugar 1/4 teaspoon Ground Pepper

SUMMARY: Serve Tapa with fried rice and an egg for a traditional breakfast dish. Crack an egg into the tapa skillet as the beef finishes. Cook and drain 1 cup of rice. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil on medium-high heat in a skillet. Chop and sauté 2-3 cloves of garlic and half an onion in the hot oil. Add the rice to the hot oil and mix. Cook the rice for 4-5 minutes. Serve the egg and tapa on top of the rice. Serve with a Filipino vinegar sauce for a perfect, authentic meal.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You're going to need to attach your mousetrap to a chassis (or body), which will form the frame of your car, wheels, and an engine to power the contraption. These kinds of miniature cars are often used for physics experiment when learning about mechanical advantage, gravity, and gear ratios. For the purposes of this example, heavy cardboard will be used as the chassis, but you also might use:  Foam core. The body of an old toy car. A piece of light, durable wood, like balsa wood. You can modify the design of your car to achieve certain goals. For example, if your physics class is having a distance race competition, you'll want to:  Lighten your car as much as possible. If using a solid chassis, this might include drilling holes in its frame and wheels. Use wheels that are both thin and stiff. Decrease air resistance by making the front of your car small and sleek. If your car will be traveling up a ramp or across hilly terrain, smaller wheels will be able to manage the incline better due to inertia. Flat surfaces, like table and floors, can be best traversed with larger wheels. As previously mentioned, there are many different materials you might use to make your mousetrap car. Some additional options are listed in the "Tips" below. However, to make the mousetrap in this example, you will need:  Compass (for drawing circles) Duct tape Durable string Elastic bands/rubber bands Eye hooks (4) Heavy cardboard or foam core Mousetrap Pliers Ruler Thin dowels (2) Utility knife

SUMMARY: Visualize your mousetrap car. Use physics to your advantage for best results. Take into account the surface your car will run on. Gather your mousetrap car making materials.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Turn on the shower in your home and wait until the water is comfortably hot. Again, the water should not be too hot, as it will be in direct contact with the cap and can ruin the hat’s construction if the temperature is too high or the cap is allowed to soak too long. Showering in a hat or pair of boots you wish to break in is a trick that has been used for a long time with great results. Take the cap you’ll be modifying and put it on. You should position the hat the way you most frequently wear it so that it loosens and dries in the right shape. Hop in the shower with the cap on. Shower as you ordinarily would, or simply wait 3—5 minutes for the rigidity of the hat to break down and assume its new shape. Make sure the crown of the cap is thoroughly wet so that it can be stretched out uniformly.  If you decide to simply take a regular shower while wearing the cap, be sure not to get soap or shampoo on the hat as it soaks. Washing your cap should be performed separately with the right products. Let most of the water fall on the crown of the cap to avoid potentially ruining the bill. Leave the cap on as you go about your day. Shake out excess water before putting on your other clothes so that the cap doesn’t drip. The cap should dry within a day, or less, depending on environmental conditions. Wearing the cap on a clear, warm day will allow it to dry most efficiently. If the weather outside is cold or rainy, do not wear the cap out. Instead, allow it to sit right-side-up under a fan or in front of an air conditioning vent and check on its progress periodically.

SUMMARY: Turn on a hot shower. Put on the fitted cap you want to shrink. Get in the shower. Wear the cap as it dries.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are a couple of options for where to measure a dog's blood pressure. No location is necessarily better than any other; it's largely a matter of what the dog will allow and what is easiest for you to stabilize.  The cuff of an automatic device is usually administered around one of the dog's limbs or around the base of the tail. If using a limb, it's best to measure on the dog's right side at either the forearm (antebrachium ) of the front limb or the outside of the hind leg. Before you perform the test, you'll need to make sure the blood pressure cuff fits your dog correctly. A cuff that is too large often produces falsely low blood pressure readings, while a cuff that's too small will yield a falsely high reading.  The ideal size for a blood pressure cuff is approximately 40 percent of the dog's appendage circumference. When you lay the cuff flat against the leg or tail, the edges should be between 25% and 50% of the appendage's circumference. Once you've determined that the cuff is the correct size for your dog, you can attach the cuff and proceed in taking a measurement. The cuff should be snug and secure without being too tight. It should be just snug enough that you cannot insert a finger between the cuff and the dog's appendage. Once the cuff is in place, the rest of the test is very similar to that of a human blood pressure measurement. You'll simply activate the automatic device, allow the cuff to inflate, then take the reading that the device gives you. The cuff presses against the dog's artery while inflated, and the pressure inside the cuff gets above the dog's systolic pressure. As the cuff deflates, the machine measures both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.  Hold the cuff (attached to the dog's appendage) at chest level on the dog, which should be approximately the height of the dog's heart.  The normal systolic blood pressure range is between 110 and 160 mm of mercury (Hg). Normal diastolic blood pressure lies between 60 and 90 mm Hg.  A dog has high blood pressure if its systolic blood pressure is consistently above 180 mm Hg.

SUMMARY:
Choose a measurement location. Check the size of the cuff. Attach the cuff. Inflate the cuff, then take a reading.
