INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Don't preheat the oven; you want your plates to slowly warm along with the oven. Introducing room temperature plates to a very hot oven can make them crack or shatter completely. You can put your plates on a baking pan or directly on the oven racks. The plates will have warmed up to this temperature along with the oven. This allows the paint to "cure," or set into the ceramic. If your ceramic paint instructions suggest a different temperature or baking time, follow that instead. Once the oven temperature has reached 325F (163C), leave it on for 40 minutes. You can set a timer on your oven, phone, or a watch to keep track of the time. Most ovens will beep when the chosen temperature has been reached, so set a timer at that point. You want the temperature of your plates to slowly cool down along with the oven. If you handle the plates too early, you can break them. Cooling times depend on your oven but wait at least 2 hours before checking the temperature. Be patient and don't touch the plates while they're still cooling in the oven. Since your oven should be completely cooled, the plates should be cool to the touch as well. You can use oven mitts to remove your plates to be safe. Put your plates in a place where they won't be disturbed by children or pets. Let them rest for at least 3 days before you use them or wash them. Hand wash them for the first time. While washing them, you can check your painted designs and make sure the plates were not damaged while baking in the oven.

SUMMARY: Place your plates in a cold oven. Let your oven reach 325F (163C) while the plates are inside. Leave your oven on for 40 minutes to let the plates cure. Turn off your oven to let your plates cool. Remove your plates from the oven once the oven is cooled. Allow the plates to rest for at least 3 days before using or washing them.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is considered the best way to diagnose an enlarged heart. An echo is a painless procedure in which the doctor uses ultrasound technology to examine the movement of blood through your heart on a monitor. The anatomical structure and functional activities of the four chambers of your heart can be assessed with this test. The valves of your heart can also be observed If your doctor finds that the walls of your heart's left ventricle are larger than 1.5 centimeters (about half an inch), your heart is considered enlarged. This test records the electrical activities of your heart and can detect irregularities in your heart's rhythm. It can also aid in analyzing how a particular chamber of the heart has been enlarged. The heart's activities are recorded on a graph. An EKG provides information about heart rate, rhythm, and any conduction defects in the heart. If you and your doctor suspect you have an enlarged heart, your doctor will probably make you get an X-ray. X-ray images can help your doctor see the size and condition of your heart. An X-ray can also help to determine if you have any irregular enlargement of parts of your heart, or if the shape of your heart has changed. An enlarged heart may disrupt the production and levels of certain substances in your blood. By measuring the amount of these substances in your blood, a doctor can determine if you have an enlarged heart or a related condition. Catheterization involves inserting a tube (catheter) into your groin and threading it through your body into your heart. A small sample of heart tissue can be removed and examined later. This technique is not usually necessary, since other techniques of diagnosis are less invasive and easier to perform. During the procedure, the doctor might be able to capture images of the heart to visualize what your heart looks like.

SUMMARY: Have an echocardiogram (echo) done. Ask your doctor to take an X-ray. Get blood tests. Talk to your doctor about a cardiac catheterization and biopsy.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Reports allow you to quickly display summaries of your data. They are often used for income and shipping reports, and can be tailored to just about any use. Reports draw data from either tables or queries that you have created. Select the type of report you want to create. There are a few different ways you can go about creating a report. Access can create your report for you automatically, or you can create a custom one. Report This will create an auto-report with all of the data from your source. Nothing will be grouped, but for small databases this is probably sufficient for showing what you need. Blank Report This will create an empty report that you can fill with your data as you see fit. You will be able to choose from any available field to create a custom report. Report Wizard The report wizard will guide you through the report creation process, allowing to to choose and group your data, and then format it accordingly. If you've selected to create a blank report, you'll need to select a source for it. First, click the Arrange tab and then select Property Sheet. Alternatively, you can also press Alt + Enter. Click the down arrow next to the Record Source field. A list of your available tables and queries will appear. Select one and it will be assigned to the report. Once you have a source, you can start adding fields from it to your report. Click the Format tab, and then click Add Existing Fields. The Field List will appear in the right frame. Click and drag the fields you want to add into the Design frame. The record will appear in the report. As you add additional fields, they will be lined up automatically with existing fields. You can resize fields by clicking on the edges and dragging the mouse. Delete fields from the report by clicking on the heading and pressing the Delete key. Groups allow you to quickly parse information in a report, as they allow you to organize related information. For example, you may want to group sales by region or by salesperson. Groups allow you to do this. Click the Design tab, click the Group & Sort button. Right-click on any part of the field you want to add to a group. Select Group On from the menu. A header will be created for the group. You can adjust the header to whatever you want to label the group. Once your report is finalized, you can save it and then share it or print it like any document. Use this to share company performance with investors, contact information to employees, and much more.

SUMMARY: Select your table or query. Click the Create tab. Set a source for a blank report. Add fields to your report. Add groups to your report. Save and share your report.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A leather-based shoe will own with its own natural waterproofing abilities, but you're going to want to do everything you can to make sure water isn't able to get in. Getting a relatively inexpensive sealant spray and give your shoes a thorough going-over is a smart idea, especially if you live in a wetter part of the world. Let's face it; most of the time you're making something from home, it's because you want to put your own unique spin on it. You have plenty of chance to do so even after the shoe is made. Taking a leather paint and adding an inventive design to the sides of the shoes is a fun and effective way to add style to your creation. There are countless ways you can stylize your shoes. Look online for some ideas if you're in need of inspiration. Now that your spiffy creations are finally finished, it's time for the defining moment of trying them on and putting them to use. Try walking down the hallway or the street and get a hang for the way they feel. Are they comfortable? Do you think they could keep out water if you accidentally stepped in a puddle? If this is your first time making shoes, it's perfectly normal for there to be issues. If you're not satisfied with the end result, you can always put the expertise you've gained to good use and make another pair. If it's just the insole that's uncomfortable, you can buy gel-based insoles (like Dr. Scholl's) to give your feet some much-welcomed cushion.

SUMMARY:
Waterproof your shoes with a sealant spray. Add decorative touches to your shoes. Take them for a test walk!
