Place the olive oil and butter in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. The butter should melt slowly. If it sizzles, turn down the heat a little. As soon as you see the butter begin to smoke, your pan is ready for the scallops. You could also use a stainless steel or cast iron skillet. Your pan should be large enough to hold all of your scallops in a single layer. Extra space will also help excess moisture cook off. Place the scallops in the pan starting at the edge and working in a circle. Make sure that you give them a little room when you place them in the pan. Avoid moving them once you've set them in the pan. Starting with the scallops in the edge of the pan will help them cook evenly since the scallops closer to the pan will cook faster. If you run out of room in your pan, simply pan fry the scallops in two batches. Let the scallops pan fry over medium-high heat for 1 1/2 minutes. Do not turn them or move them around while they're cooking or they won't sear properly. After 1 1/2 minutes, use tongs to gently flip them over and cook for another 1 1/2 minutes undisturbed. You don't need to check the scallops for browning while they're cooking. Checking frequently can actually prevent them from developing a golden brown crust. After a total of 3 minutes cooking time, your scallops should be done. They should have about 1/4 inch of crust on both sides and be opaque in the center. Serve them immediately with the rest of your meal (like salad greens or pasta). If you hold the scallops on low heat while you prepare the rest of your meal, they can become tough and rubbery. This is why it's important to have other parts of your meal prepared and ready to serve.

Summary: Heat the butter and oil. Add the scallops to the pan. Pan fry the scallops on both sides. Remove them from heat and serve.

You should prioritize getting help for the victim over catching the scorpion. However, identifying the scorpion species allows you to determine whether treatment is necessary, and in the case of venomous species, will allow medical professionals to give you the correct treatment. If you have a glass jar much larger than the scorpion (a quart or liter size is usually suitable), attempting to capture it will give an expert the greatest chance of identification. However, if you cannot see the scorpion, or do not have an appropriate container, do not attempt this step. Find a large glass jar, easily large enough to cover the scorpion and tall enough that your hands will be well out of reach of the stinger when you hold it upside-down. If you have them, find a pair of tongs that are at least 10 inches (25 cm) long. Capture the scorpion with the jar or tongs. Hold the jar upside-down and place fully over the scorpion. If you have tongs long enough to use them while staying out of reach, use them to firmly grasp the scorpion and place it into the jar instead. Fasten the lid. If the jar is upside-down, slide a large piece of heavy construction paper or cardboard under the opening, then hold it from the outside as you flip the container upside-down. Attach a tight lid or place a large, heavy book over the opening. If you do not have the correct tools for capturing the scorpion, photograph it instead. Take several photographs from different angles if possible. Having images to refer to will help you find details you may not remember, and if you need to seek expert attention, will help a medical professional identify the species for you. Scorpions with thick, fat stingers and tails are often more dangerous than scorpions with thin stingers. While it is still useful to capture or photograph the scorpion for specific species identification, you should seek medical attention even if you have not yet experienced serious symptoms, especially if you are in Africa, India, or the Americas. If you only got a good view of the pincers, you can estimate your risk from them as well: large, powerful pincers often indicate the scorpion relies on them for defense more than venom. This is not a foolproof system, but may be valuable information to pass on to a medical professional. If you are in the southwestern United States or northern Mexico, look for images of the "Arizona bark scorpion" online and compare them to the scorpion that caused the injury. Note that bark scorpions at high elevations tend to be striped, while desert dwelling bark scorpions are usually a uniform tan or light brown. The stings of these scorpions can be fatal and require immediate medical attention. If you are elsewhere in the United States, there is low risk of serious injury from scorpion stings. You should still treat the injury site as described below, and be prepared to see a doctor if you experience allergic reactions or other serious symptoms. The "deathstalker scorpion", also known as the Israeli desert scorpion, grows to a maximum of 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) and can vary widely in color and pincer size. Because of the risk of heart or lung failure associated with their stings, any sting from a scorpion smaller than an adult's hand encountered in this region should be treated by medical professionals as soon as possible. As noted earlier, fat-tailed scorpions can be extremely dangerous as well, and many species are found in this region. Unidentified, thin-tailed species are typically low risk, but due to the large number of scorpion species in Africa, not all of which have been thoroughly studied, be prepared to seek medical attention if any symptoms besides pain and slight swelling develop. Most scorpions in this area are not dangerous to adults, but there are exceptions. One of the more dangerous is the "Brazilian yellow scorpion;" as with many dangerous scorpions, it tends to have a thick, fat tail. The are few remaining scorpion species that can cause fatality or serious injury in adult humans, but as not all species have been identified, it is always a good idea to seek medical attention if the victim experiences any symptoms besides pain and mild swelling around the injury site. Stings from small, red or orange scorpions in India, Nepal, or Pakistan should be treated with medical attention immediately. These may be Indian red scorpions. There is low risk of death or serious injury for an adult due to scorpion venom from Europe, Australia, or New Zealand. Identification is still a good idea in case you do experience severe symptoms and need to report them to a medical worker.

Summary: Capture the scorpion only if you can do so safely. Photograph the scorpion if you cannot capture it. Assume that a fat-tailed scorpion may be dangerous. Identify dangerous scorpions in the United States and northern Mexico. Identify dangerous scorpions in the Middle East and Africa. Identify dangerous scorpions in Central and South America. Identify dangerous species in other areas.

Angles can be classified in three ways: acute, obtuse, and right. Acute angles are narrow (less than 90 degrees), obtuse angles are wide (greater than 90 degrees), and right angles are exactly 90 degrees (two lines perpendicular to each other). You can easily identify by eye, the category of angle you are trying to measure. Doing this step first helps you identify which scale to use on the protractor. At a glance, we can tell this angle is acute because it is less than 90 degrees.
Summary: Approximate the measure of your angle.
