Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Turn on your phone. Locate your IMEI.

Answer: Open the dialing screen and then press #, *, Menu, Right key. Don't pause between key presses, or you will have to start over. On units with SIM cards, scroll down until you see "IMEI/SIM ID" and press Enter. From here you can view your IMEI, SIM, and on some units, your MSN. The first fourteen digits are displayed; the fifteenth is always a 0. On older units without SIM cards, continue to hit the Right key until you see IMEI [0] on the display. The first seven digits are displayed. Write these down, as only 7 digits are displayed at a time. Press the Menu key and then the Next button to display the next seven digits. The fifteenth and final digit is most often a 0.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pull on a pair of rain boots. Switch to shoes that are made from water-resistant materials. Waterproof your shoes yourself. Invest in some quality shoe covers. Wear wool socks. Cover your feet with plastic bags.

Answer: Rain boots are designed specifically for this purpose, so it's no wonder they work so well. The thick rubber material used to make them is completely impervious to water, and will keep your feet and lower legs dry up to about shin-height, or even higher, if you go with a knee-length model. You can even find lined and insulated rain boots for protection from winter storms and treks through wet, cold conditions. If you're going to be making your way through several feet of standing water, consider purchasing a pair of waders, which are essentially extra-tall rain boots. Synthetic fabrics like nylon and Gore-Tex are tough for moisture to saturate, making them ideal for mild inclement weather. Leather is another material with natural water-resistant properties. Full-grain leather has stood the test of torrential rains for centuries. Be sure to grab a pair with a solid, one-piece construction, as water can still seep through woven fabrics when submerged or exposed to a heavy downpour. Keep an eye out for water-resistant products from your favorite brands. Nowadays, more and more companies are offering water-resistant versions of classic styles. Assuming you don't want to drop a bundle on a new pair of shoes or boots, you have the option of re-outfitting an old pair. Treating leather and textile footwear with a quality oil or silicone spray will instantly make them more wet-weather worthy. If your go-to kicks are canvas, rub them down with an even coat of all-natural beeswax. It may be necessary to reapply your waterproofing agent of choice periodically, depending on how frequently you go stomping around in soupy settings. The oily molecules in most oils, waxes, and sprays actually block and repel water, keeping it from coming into contact with the vulnerable material underneath. You can typically find waterproofing products at shoe stores and outdoor supply shops. If you're not having any luck, try purchasing them online. Shoe covers slip right over the shoes you're wearing and cinch snugly to the ankle to provide a top-to-bottom buffer against rain and standing water. The biggest advantage of shoe covers is that you can wear whatever you want on your feet without worrying about them getting wet, rather than having the weather dictate your choice of footwear for the day. Shoe covers are available at most major shoe stores, as well as outdoor retailers in the rain gear section. They can often be purchased for as little as $10. If your feet are on the small side, a shower cap could double as a makeshift shoe cover in a pinch. Ditch your ordinary cotton socks and trade them in for a pair spun from merino wool. Wool is naturally lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking, so your feet will dry much faster even if you do happen to get drenched. For this reason, they're an excellent companion for water-resistant or waterproofed footwear. Wool socks will even make sweaty feet less of an issue when it's not raining cats and dogs. Best of all, wool can be worn year-roundthe material's superior ventilation means your feet won't get as hot in the warm spring and summer months. When you've got no other options available, a little ingenuity can spare you the discomfort of walking around with cold, wet feet all day. Slip into a pair of clean, dry socks (preferably wool), then bundle a plastic shopping bag or wastebasket liner around each foot. Smooth out the excess material and secure the plastic around your ankles using tape. Fit your fortified feet into your shoes, making sure there's as little plastic showing as possible, or pull a second pair of socks on over the bags for maximum protection against the elements. This trick works well with ordinary sneakers and boots, but may not be as successful when attempted with slip-ons, heels, dress shoes, or similar styles.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Apply to follow your team through the World Cup. Opt for a venue-specific ticket.

Answer: Select a Team Specific Ticket (TST) package of three to seven games, instead of applying for individual matches. You will also select a category, and, if your team is knocked out, you will follow the qualifying team in the remaining matches. Select category one team specific tickets for the best seats. The range of TST is $578 for three games and $2,998 for seven games. Select category two seats. They range between $446 for three games and $2,079 for seven games. Select category three seats for a range between $297 and $1,386. Handicap accessible tickets are also at this price. You may be charged an additional "premium match" fee if your team plays an opening match against Brazil. Apply for these tickets as soon as possible in the application dates. If your team does not qualify for the World Cup, you will be refunded the money, less a $10 fee. If your travel in Brazil is limited, you can choose a host city such as Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, or Sao Paulo. The number of tickets included differs depending upon the number of days that will be hosted, and they are available in categories one through three. The price varies according to the stadium and the category. Tickets in a specific venue do not include quarterfinal, semifinal or final match tickets. They must be purchased separately.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Gather your materials. Fill the plastic cup roughly 3/4 full with soda. Make sure the soda can is completely empty. Cut a strip of aluminum from the soda can. Sand the aluminum strip (optional). Place the strips into the solution. Attach lead wires to metal strips. Test the battery.

Answer:
For this battery, you will need one unopened can of soda (any type will do), one plastic cup (6 to 8 ounces), and one 3/4-inch-wide strip of copper that's slightly longer than the height of the cup. In addition, you'll need a pair of scissors, a voltage meter, and two electrical lead wires with alligator clips at both ends. If you don't already have these materials around your house, you can purchase them at a hardware store. You can substitute the copper strip with several pieces of copper wire stuck together or bent in a zig-zag fashion to reach the desired width. Note that the cup doesn't absolutely have to be plastic. It just has to be non-metallic. Styrofoam and paper cups will also work. Discard (or drink) any soda that remains in the can. Turn it upside down in the sink and give it a few extra shakes to make sure that all the soda is out. Cut a 3/4-inch-wide strip from the side of the soda can. Ensure that's it's slightly longer than the plastic cup's height; if this isn't possible, don't worry you can just bend the top of the strip and let it hang over the edge of the cup and into the fluid. Instead of cutting the can, you may purchase aluminum strips from a hardware store. Aluminum foil is not an effective replacement for an aluminum strip; don't use it! You can skip this step if you bought the aluminum from a hardware store. If you cut the strip from a soda can, you'll need to sand off the coatings (i.e. paint, plastic) on both sides of the strip. Ensure that the strips do not touch each other. Place them across from each other not side by side or overlapping in the cup. Ideally you've cut the strips long enough that their tops sit above the soda, extending slightly past the rim of the cup. If the strips do not extend past the cup's rim, you can bend each strip lightly so that it hangs off the edge of the cup. Attach one lead wire to one metal strip by opening the alligator clip and closing it on the strip. Then, attach a different lead wire to the other metal strip, again using the alligator clip. Be careful not to let the alligator clips touch the soda. It doesn't matter which color of wire attaches to which strip. Following the instructions that come with your voltage meter, connect a lead wire from each metal strip to the voltage meter. The meter should read your battery's voltage at roughly 3/4 of a volt.
