Q: You can upload content directly to most publishing platforms, but you must create an account first. Each vendor should walk you step-by-step to creating an account with them. For example, do the following:   Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing: You can create a publishing account by signing in with your Amazon customer account. If you don't have a customer account, then create one. Kindle will ask you for contact information and bank information so that they can pay you.  Apple iBooks: You need a Mac with OS X 10.9 in order to create an account. Alternately, you will have to go through an aggregator, but many of these aggregators such as Smashwords and Draft2Digital do not accept public domain books.  Barnes and Noble Nook Press: Provide your email address and a password to create an account.  Google Play: You need a Gmail account to create a Google Play account. Google only occasionally allows people to create publisher accounts on Play, so keep checking back.  Kobo Writing Life: Visit https://www.kobo.com/writinglife and click on “Create an Account.” Provide your email address and password. Online publishers allow you to upload different document formats, which they then convert into eBooks. For example, Amazon KDP will let you upload in Word, EPUB, MOBI, Rich Text Format (RTF), Plain Text (TXT), Adobe PDF, or HTML. However, Amazon recommends you upload in Word, using either the .DOC or .DOCX format.  Remember to include a title page at the front. You should identify the title and author of the public domain work. Also identify any original contributions, such as the creator of illustrations.  Include your copyright notice for any original contributions. Also insert a table of contents. This is tricky. You should use the “Insert Table” feature in Word. The formatting must done correctly, otherwise the book will look funny after it goes through the conversion process. If you're publishing on Amazon KDP, then remember the following tips for a clean presentation:  Don't us “Tab” to create an indent. Instead, go into “Layout” or “Page Layout.” Then under “Special” select “First line.” Pick the indentation, such as 0.5 inches. You should set the paragraph indent before you even compile the book. Also insert a page break after each chapter. If you don't, then the text will all run together. To insert a picture using Word, select “Insert” > “Picture” > and then the file you want to insert. You can create your own cover or use Amazon's Cover Creator. The Cover Creator will walk you through the steps of choosing a design and the layout. You can wait to use it when you upload your files. Remember the following tips when creating a cover:  KDP accepts both JPEG and TIFF file types for your cover image. The height/width ratio should be 8:5. The shortest side should be at least 625 pixels, while the longer side should be at least 1,000 pixels. The cover image cannot be greater than 50MB. Cover art that is white or a very light color should have a thin border added to them so that they stand out.
A: Establish publisher accounts. Prepare your book file. Format your book. Create a cover.

Article: If you’ve just spilled bleach on your carpet, there might still be time to save its color if you act quickly. Run a towel or cloth under cold water, squeeze it out, then use it to blot out the affected area.  Take care to blot with repeated dabbing motions instead of scrubbing. Scrubbing will force the bleach deeper into the carpet fibers. Make sure to use a white towel or one that you don’t mind getting stained. After blotting the stain with cold water, mix a half tablespoon of liquid dishwashing detergent with a cup (240 mL) of warm water. For larger stains, use the same ratio (for example, one tablespoon mixed with two cups or 480 ml of water) Let it sit for about five minutes. As an alternative to soap, you could substitute distilled white vinegar in the same ratio. After five minutes, use a clean, damp sponge or cloth to blot the area you’ve soaked in the detergent solution. Be sure to use cold water to get your sponge or cloth damp. Repeat the process 2 more times to lift all of the residual bleach out from your carpet.  When blotting, work from the outside of the stain toward the center to avoid spreading it. Depending on the amount of bleach and how many times you rinse the carpet, you may need to switch to a new rag.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Blot away wet bleach with a cold, damp towel. Pour detergent and warm water over the stain. Blot the area with a sponge or cloth.

Problem: Article: Although the higher the quality of the vodkas you use, the less there will be a need to cleanse the palate since highly distilled vodkas don’t linger on the palate like other hard liquors. Salty hors d'oeuvres, such as pickled herring and caviar. A variety of food choices in case any of your guests are vegetarians, such as deviled eggs, pickles, olives and slices of cucumbers and tomatoes. A variety of crackers and cheese. A plate of cured and salted meats and pates with fresh breads.
Summary: Be sure to have plenty of appetizers on hand so that your guests can cleanse their palates between tastings, and so that food can help absorb the alcohol they will be drinking. Provide the following sorts of appetizers:

Q: Combine equal parts water, liquid dish soap, and salt in a spacious container and stir them together until they form a thin paste. Use a clean cloth or sponge to spread this paste onto every exposed part of the wall in sections. Then, allow it to soak into the brick for at least 10 minutes.  The exact quantity you mix up will depend on the size of the wall you’re cleaning. It may be necessary to prepare multiple batches of the solution if you’re cleaning an entire wall. As the solution sits on the brick, the salt will gradually wear down the tiny particles of plaster left behind while the detergent in the dish soap lifts away set-in dirt and oil. This solution is also perfect for regular cleanings once you've got your brick fully exposed and sealed. Dunk your cloth or sponge in a container of clean, warm water and use it to wash away the soap solution, along with any dust and debris it’s collected. Move your cloth or sponge along in smooth back-and-forth or circular motions, starting with the upper section of the wall. Continue rinsing until the brick is completely free of soapy residue.  Wring out your cloth or sponge frequently, and change out the water in your container as soon as it becomes so murky that you can no longer see the bottom. Other options for cleaning exposed brick include sandblasting and applications of muriatic acid. Keep in mind, however, that these methods are far less gentle than a homemade soap solution, and are therefore more likely to damage brick that’s become brittle with age. Apply the sealant the way you would ordinary paint, aiming for full, even coverage. Allow your first coat to dry for 2-3 hours, or until it’s no longer tacky to the touch. Then, throw on a follow-up coat. Let this final coat cure for at least 1 week prior to decorating, painting, or otherwise interfering with the exposed brick.  Choose a 100% acrylic sealant that’s resistant to dirt, water, and scratches. Make sure the sealant you get offers a matte finish—you don’t want to accidentally coat your brick in a high-luster gloss! A good brick sealant will safeguard your brick from deterioration as a result of exposure to air and moisture. This is especially important if the brick is more than a few years old.
A:
Apply a mild soap solution to the wall and let it sit for 10 minutes. Wipe the entire wall with a wet cloth or sponge. Roll or brush on 1-2 coats of brick sealant to protect the exposed brick.
