Problem: Article: Owls typically try to avoid human contact and noises. If you see an owl lurking around your property, be as loud as you can to chase it off. Sometimes simply increasing human activity in an area, like setting up and using a fire pit and chairs in your yard, can deter an owl from trying to hunt near your home. The only type of owl known to attack people is the great horned owl, and it only does this if its nest and young are threatened. Great horned owl nests are typically only found high in trees of a forest habitat. Avoid going near a great horned owl nest, or take precautions like wearing a helmet or using an umbrella if you must walk near one. Owls generally don't like loud noises while they are hunting. Try tying up aluminum cans close together on a string and hanging them from your chicken coop or porch to keep an owl away. Or construct a wooden clapper by hinging together 2 pieces of wood about 2ft (0.61m) in length that will make a loud noise when clapped together. Use the wooden clapper manually to make a loud banging noise if you see an owl in your yard. Owls may become used to some noises, so always using the same noise can be less effective over time. Try to use various noise methods for the best results. A very loud noise that's sure to scare off an owl is a firecracker or gun. It is illegal to kill an owl in the U.S., so be sure to keep the pyrotechnic device or gunshot a safe distance of 50100yd (4691m) away from the owl. Check with local government authorities about pyrotechnic and gun use regulations in your area before using these devices to frighten an owl.
Summary: Yell or clap your hands near the owl if you see it. Create a noise device with aluminum cans or wood. Fire off a firecracker or gun with blanks near, not at, the owl.

Problem: Article: Once you have downloaded and installed your VPN, it's time to start it up. Locate your application from your Applications folder, Taskbar, or desktop/home screen. On Windows, you may have an icon on your desktop or you may need to click on the Windows icon in the lower-left corner of the screen and select the program from the Taskbar or the Programs menu. On a Mac, you can find your VPN application in your '''Applications''' folder. Most VPN applications will give you easy to follow prompts that get you started if this is your first time using the software. Some services like CyberGhost don't require you to do anything but click the big yellow button in the center of the application. Other's like TunnelBear ask you to set up an account. You can also edit your preferences to tailor your experience. Most applications give you the option to automatically connect upon startup of your computer. You may also have the option for TCP overrides. This override means that if your internet service provider throttles your connection, you can choose to force your VPN to use a TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) which is more stable, though sometimes a bit slower. If you don't have an account you may have to sign up. If you are using a company's VPN, or most personal software, this will grant you secure access to your network. At this point, operations vary depending on how your company has configured its VPN access. The VPN software may open a new window that looks like your desktop at work, also known as a virtual desktop, where you can access your company resources. Or, you may need to launch your web browser and enter a secure web address where you can access your company's resources. If your VPN session does not launch a virtual desktop, your IT department should provide you with instructions for accessing your resources. Now that you are signed up and logged in, you can begin running your VPN to protect your identity, access protected files on a network, or access websites and content not available in your country. You can also change your settings to allow your VPN to launch automatically and connect to a random network, or you can choose when and how you connect. If you are using a free VPN, most likely you'll only get a certain amount of data to use per month. Or you may be restricted to a time limit. For these reasons, it's best to only activate your VPN when you need to secure your IP address. For example, you may want to use your VPN when on a public Wi-Fi like at a coffee shop, but not use it home. Or consider choosing VPN providers that do not limit your data as mentioned above. You can use your VPN to watch Netflix in a different country, allowing you access to movies and shows that you may not get normally. VPNs that let you choose where you're browsing from, by changing your IP address, allow you to pick a country that you want to view from. If you're in the UK, you can change your location to somewhere in the U.S. to view the American Netflix.
Summary: Launch your VPN software. Follow the instructions. Enter your username and password when prompted. Run your VPN.

Problem: Article: This is great for leather collars that have taken a swim with Fido in stinky water. Remove the collar from the dog, then coat the collar with the lather. Remove visible grime and try to cover all of the collar to help lift the odor. Once rinsed, sniff the collar to see if it smells better. If not, soap and rinse again, then repeat the process until the odor is gone. Either lay on a towel to dry or hang it up and air dry out of direct sunlight. Hopefully the collar smells a whole lot better now!
Summary: Use this method to remove scent from leather collars. Lather up the peppermint soap. Scrub the collar with a toothbrush. Rinse in very hot water. Let dry.

Problem: Article: The generally accepted minimum radio control system has two channels. Each pair of units, radio transmitter and radio receiving system, operates on a discrete frequency so that several radio control units can be operated at the same time and location without conflicting with one another. The number of channels refers to the number of functions the set will control directly. The basic two-channel system allows discrete control of the steering on one channel. The second channel operates the sail control which sets the position of the sails. The actual operation of the model is by manipulating the controls of the radio transmitter unit on the shore. The skipper controls the steering and the sails on the model. The model can be sailed as if it were a full-size yacht. The distance to which we can sail our model yacht is limited by the range of the radio transmitter and receiver in the control system and by the capability of the human eye. Visibility is crucial for setting sail trim and course - and also for avoiding collisions.
Summary:
Know what to expect with radio control. Be aware that the controller will use channels. Learn how to manipulate the controls. Note that you are limited by your visibility.
