In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once the taco seasoning is completely mixed into the ground beef, onion, and peppers, transfer the mixture to a large stock pot or dutch oven and set at medium heat.  Make sure the pot is large enough to not only hold the ground beef and vegetables, but the other ingredients that you’re going to add. It should hold at least 3.5 quarts (approximately 3.3 L). If you prefer, you can cook your taco soup in a large slow cooker instead of on the stove. After you place the ground beef mixture in a pot, stir in 1 16-ounce (approximately 454 g) can of mild chili beans, 1 15-ounce (approximately 425 g) can of pinto beans that have been drained and rinsed, and 1 15-ounce  (approximately 425 g) can of whole kernel corn that’s been drained, and 1 4-ounce (approximately 113) can of diced green chilies. Stir well to combine the ingredients. You can also add olives to the pot. Try mixing in ½ cup (approximately 118 g) green olives and/or 1 4.5-ounce (approximately 128 g) can of black olives that have been drained and sliced. The soup really starts to come together when you add the tomatoes. Stir in 1 14.5-ounce (approximately 411 g) can of stewed tomatoes and 1 14.5-ounce (approximately 411 g) can of diced tomato with green chilies. Once the tomatoes are incorporated, add 1 packet of ranch salad dressing mix and stir well. If you want your soup to have a thinner consistency, you can substitute 1 15-ounce (approximately 425 g) can of tomato sauce for the stewed tomatoes.
Summary: Transfer the meat mixture to a pot. Add the beans, corn, and green chilies. Mix in the tomatoes and ranch dressing.

Set up a hardcover book or other large, flat item between the laser pointer and the object to block the beam. This will function as a "camera shutter" of sorts while capturing the holographic object's image. If you use an alternative item to the hardcover book, choose a completely solid object. Transparent or translucent objects will not block the laser beam. Remove a holographic film plate from your supplies and position it carefully against the object. If the film plate is not thick enough to stand on its own, prop it up with plastic stands on both sides.  Let the holographic film plate settle for about 10-20 seconds before starting the image capturing process. Store the holographic film plates in a covered box until you're ready to use them for the sharpest image. The book should still block the laser light from reaching the plate at this stage. Hold the book in this position for about 10-20 seconds, waiting for any slight table vibrations to subside before you continue. Move slowly to prevent table vibrations or sudden noises, which can warp the hologram's image. For about 10 seconds, remove the object blocker so that the laser beam hits the holographic film plate. After 10 seconds, lower the book again to cover the laser beam.

One-sentence summary -- Block the laser beam temporarily with a book or other blocker. Lean a holographic film plate against the object. Lift the object blocker about 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) above the table. Raise the object blocker out of the way for about 10 seconds.

Problem: Article: Also called slugging average, SA, or SLG, this is a player's average number of bases per bat. If a player has an (unrealistic) slugging percentage of 1, their average result was a single. This only measures number of bases from hits, not from walks or hit by pitch. Ignoring the bases out of the batter's control makes this a more accurate measure of offensive power. Most player stats don't include singles, but it's easy to figure out from other stats. First, add Home Runs + Triples + Doubles to get all the hits that aren't singles. Then subtract your answer from the total number of Hits to get the number of Singles. For example, Willie McCovey has career stats of 521 Home Runs, 46 Triples, and 353 Doubles, adding up to 920. Subtract 920 from his career Hits of 2211 to get the number of Singles: 1291. Add together (Singles) + (2 x Doubles) + (3 x Triples) + (4 x Home Runs) to get the total number of bases. Willie McCovey scored a total number of bases equal to (1291) + (2 x 353) + (3 x 46) + (4 x 521) = 1291 + 706 + 138 + 2084 = 4219. Divide total bases by the number of at bats to get the slugging percentage. Willie McCovey had 8197 At Bats, so his career slugging percentage is 4219 ÷ 8197 = 0.5147 (rounded to 0.515). On average, he scored a little more than one base for every two at bats.
Summary:
Understand slugging percentage. Find the number of singles. Calculate the number of bases. Divide your answer by at bats.
