In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: . Notepad allows you to create code as a text file and then save it when you're done as a batch file. You can open Notepad by opening Start {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/0\/07\/Windowsstart.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/07\/Windowsstart.png\/30px-Windowsstart.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":460,"bigWidth":"30","bigHeight":"30","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>I edited this screenshot of a Windows icon.

Notepad is commonly used to convert text files into batch files, but you can write your batch file's text virtually anywhere. Batch files run a series of DOS commands, so the commands that you can use are similar to DOS commands. Some of the more important ones include: ECHO - Displays text on the screen @ECHO OFF - Hides the text that is normally output START - Run a file with its default application REM - Inserts a comment line in the program MKDIR/RMDIR - Create and remove directories DEL - Deletes a file or files COPY - Copy a file or files XCOPY - Allows you to copy files with extra options FOR/IN/DO - This command lets you specify files. TITLE- Edit the title of the window. One of the easiest ways to learn how to create batch files is to focus on doing basic tasks first. For example, you can use a batch file to quickly create multiple directories: MKDIR c:\example1 MKDIR c:\example2 Batch files are great for running multiple commands, especially if you configure it to be able to run multiple times. With the XCOPY command, you can make a batch file that copies files from select folders to a backup folder, only overwriting files that have been updated since the last copy: @ECHO OFF XCOPY c:\original c:ackupfolder /m /e /y This copies over files from the folder "original" to the folder "backupfolder". You can replace these with the paths to the folders you want. /m specifies that only updated files will be copied, /e specifies that all subdirectories in the listed directory will be copied, and /y keeps the confirmation message appearing every time a file is overwritten. If you want to know what is happening in your batch file but don't want to see all the commands, you could program the batch file to print some text that explains what the batch file does. You can print text with ECHO. For example: @ECHO OFF MKDIR c:\example1 ECHO Created directory example1 You can change the color of the output with COLOR bf, where b is the background and f is the foreground color, both a hexadecimal number. Following colors are possible: Number Color Number Color 0 black 8 dark grey 1 dark blue 9 blue 2 dark green a green 3 dark turquoise b turquoise 4 dark red c red 5 dark magenta d magenta 6 dark yellow e yellow 7 light grey f white For example, red text on a dark green background would be displayed with COLOR 2c You need run the batch file from the command line to see the text, because else the window will close too fast to actually read the text you printed. If you want inspiration, you can check out the sample batch text at the end of this article.
Summary: Open Notepad Learn some basic batch commands. Write a program to create a directory. Write the code to make a basic backup program. Display some text. Experiment with different batch commands.

There are literally hundreds of olive tree varieties around the world. Some are similar with only slight differences in olive color and flavor. Others are extremely different and have growing preferences which impact the ripening time. For example, the four main types in California are: Mission, Manzanillo, Sevillano and Ascolano. Even though these are grown in the same state, the diverse climate, coupled with a particular olive strand, yields a range of results. Significantly research your location to determine which type of olive will prosper. Growing from seed, you will get more of a wild variety than any of the parent trees it came from. This may sound easy, but the fruit must be picked directly from the tree so the seed remains alive. Olive trees prosper in climate zones 8-11. These areas have a subtropical climate and mild winters. Pick them in early autumn, after the fruits ripen and are green. Leave the black ones. Don't pick any off the ground and make sure the ones you choose don't have any holes from insects. Using olives purchased from a grocery store will not work. These have been processed for consumption which means they've been cooked. This process kills the seed inside the pit, so they are no longer viable. Raw olives from the produce section may be viable, though. If you don't have access to an olive tree, many large orchards will ship pits/seeds directly to you. Once you have the olives, gently smash the flesh with a hammer to loosen the fruit around the pit. Cover the crushed olives with warm water and soak them overnight. Stir the water every few hours or so. Jostling them will encourage the fruit to loosen further. If a hammer isn't available, use a wide knife and smash with the flat side. If you notice a few floating to the surface, gather these and discard. They are likely rotten. Gather the pits and use a scour pad to rub the excess skin off. This is the same pad you probably use on pots and pans. After you've rubbed the skin, thoroughly rinse the pits in warm water for several minutes. If a scour pad is not available, try sandpaper. There is a blunt end and a pointy end on every olive pit. With a knife, nick the blunt end. Do not break through the hull completely or the seed will be useless. Instead, create a tiny hole about the size of a pen tip. Soak these for 24 hours in room temperature water.

One-sentence summary -- Determine the type of tree you want to grow. Gather olives. Place the olives in a bucket. Drain the water. Cut the ends of the pits.

Problem: Article: Gently take off any clothes or jewelry near the burned skin. Try not to pull clothes over the burned area to keep from irritating your skin further. Turn the faucet on so the stream of water is gentle rather than strong. Rinse the burned area under the cool running water to remove any traces of vinegar and soothe your inflamed skin. Do not rub or scrub your burn as you rinse. Avoid using soap on your burn. Remove your glasses or contact lenses if you've gotten vinegar in your eyes. Blink your eyes under a gentle stream of room-temperature water for 20 minutes. If your child has gotten vinegar in their eyes, gently pour the water over the bridge of their nose and encourage blinking. Then, flush their eyes with room-temperature water for 20 minutes in a tub, shower or sink. Use only clean, fresh water to cleanse burns. Other liquids may further irritate burned skin rather than soothing it.
Summary:
Remove clothing or jewelry that has vinegar on it. Run the burn under cool running water for 20 minutes. Rinse your eyes for 20 minutes with room-temperature water. Avoid using milk or other liquids to flush a burn.
