Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find a suitable location. Power the tank and transmitter. Turn on the transmitter, then the receiver. Check for frequency adjustments. Practice in a level, open area. Operate single joystick controls. Operate other types of controls. Turn off the receiver, then the transmitter.

Answer: Firm clean ground with some contours and plenty of open space is your best choice for learning the ropes of this sport. Grass and weeds can jam the tracks of your vehicle, and soft, sandy soil will cause trouble with the gears that drive them. A brand new remote controlled tank will need powering before it's ready to move. The transmitter takes ordinary batteries. Some tanks have a rechargeable battery pack, while others use AA batteries. The rechargeable variety comes with a special charger, or an adapter so you can plug it into a wall outlet. Read the instructions before charging a battery pack. Overcharged batteries may explode. If you ordered your tank from another country, double check the intended charge voltage. Plugging it into an outlet with a different voltage could destroy the battery and cause a fire. Always turn on the handheld controls before the tank itself. If the transmitter is not active when the tank is turned on, there is a chance that the tank will not respond properly. If the tank still won't respond, check the transmitter instructions for a "sync" or "bind" setup. This is not necessary for transmitters that use quartz crystals. If yours is the only RC vehicle in the area, you can skip this step. However, if there are multiple vehicles around, each one must use a different frequency to avoid interfering with each other. Some models have a setting to easily switch between different frequencies, but many require you to switch out the crystals in the tank and the transmitter in order to adjust this. Most models operate in the 27 MHz range (divided into 12 bands) or the 40 MHz range (divided into 8 bands). This will allow you to get the feel for the controls. Start in a straight line to develop a sense of the vehicle's speed, which can be deceptively fast. Get an idea for how quickly it can stop and reverse. The most common type of RC tank control uses a single joystick for movement. In a typical Tri Pact system, you move the stick diagonally to lock one of the treads, causing the tank to turn. You may not be able to move forward or reverse at the same time as turning. Even most transmitters with two joysticks use this system. One joystick controls movement, while the other controls the gun turret or other features. There is a wide range of other control systems. Here are the next most common: A simple two-joystick control uses one joystick for forward/reverse, and a second one for turning left/right. More advanced two-joystick controls operate the left and right treads independently. To turn left, move the right joystick further forward than the left. Transmitters with buttons instead of a joystick are usually arranged in a simple forward/reverse/left/right layout. When finished driving, turn off the tank's receiver, then turn off the transmitter. Clean the tank's tracks and gears before storing, and remove rechargeable batteries.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Add a rod under your sink, then hang spray bottles from it. Place rods vertically between 2 shelves to create slots for baking sheets. Use tension rods in deep drawers to organize lids. Elevate spice jars with a tension rod to save space. Use a tension rod as a paper towel rack under a cabinet.

Answer: Open the cabinet beneath your kitchen sink. Place a tension rod horizontally inside the cabinet, then hang your cleaning detergents from it. This only works for cleaning detergents that come in a spray bottle. The trigger will act like a hook. Hang the rod high enough so that you have room under the spray bottles for other items. Maximize your storage by adding a small pail, basket, or caddy. Place items like sponges or scrubbies inside. Stand 2 tension rods vertically between 2 shelves. The first rod should be 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1cm) from the edge of the self. The second rod should be 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1cm) from the back of the shelf. Repeat this process to create more slots, then slide cutting boards and baking sheets between the slots. How far apart you keep the tension rod pairs is up to you. You need them to be far enough to fit a cutting board or baking sheet. About 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2cm) should be plenty. Open up a kitchen drawer that is deep enough to store your lids. Insert a few tension rods, about 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2cm) apart to create slots. Slide your desired lids vertically into the slots, like files into a filing cabinet. You can insert the rods across the width of the drawer or down its length. It's up to you. How far down the drawer you place the rods is up to you. About 1/3 to 1/2 way down is ideal. Use the front half of the drawer to store the lids, and the back half to store the matching pots, pans, or Tupperware containers. You can use this technique to store other items too, like rolls of aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Open up your cabinet and arrange your spice jars in a row along the back. Insert a tension rod just above jars, then stand more spice jars on top of it. If the spice jars won't stand up on the tension rod, move the rod forward by about 14 to 12 inch (0.64 to 1.27cm) to create a small gap. The jars will tilt back into this gap. You can create more "shelves" by adding more rows of tension rods. Slide a roll of paper towels onto the rod first, then place the rod horizontally under a cabinet. Expand the rod until each end is braced firmly against the adjacent walls. You can also use this to store kitchen towels above a sink. Make sure that you hang it low enough so that you can unravel the paper towels without them scrapping against the bottom of the cabinet. If you are using this as a hand towel rod, you can hang other items from the rod too, like spray bottles and scrubbies.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Give your dog trilostane as prescribed. Watch your dog for trilostane's side effects. Have your vet perform regular blood tests.

Answer: Trilostane is the treatment of choice for pituitary-dependent canine Cushing's disease. It is given by mouth either once or twice daily to block adrenal cortisol production. If your vet prescribes twice-daily trilostane, you will give the drug once every 8 to 12 hours with food. Although trilostane is more expensive than mitotane, it has fewer side effects and is easier to manage. As with mitotane, your dog's symptoms will improve with trilostane treatment. Trilostane commonly causes vomiting and diarrhea. Other side effects are weakness and loss of appetite. Contact your vet if you notice these symptoms in your dog. Fortunately, these side effects become more mild, or go away completely, with time or dose adjustment. Close monitoring is also required for trilostane. Your vet will perform periodic ACTH stimulation tests to determine how well trilostane is working. As your dog continues to improve, your vet will gradually decrease the trilostane dose.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start a Neighborhood Watch. Form a "block club. Meet safely to discuss problems. Ask about local improvements. Contact the property owner. Contact your municipal authorities about environmental problems. Identify safe programs to help eliminate drug dealers.

Answer:
Neighborhood Watches are often very successful in eliminating drug dealers from your neighborhood. They can help reduce criminal activity by creating an environment without opportunities for things like drug deals. However, it's important to work with the police so that Watch members are properly trained and informed. Post signs and publicize the presence of your Neighborhood Watch. Knowing that the area is under observation will often persuade dealers to move out of your neighborhood to an area that is less patrolled. Never attempt to apprehend a drug dealer yourself. This only creates a situation where people could be seriously harmed or even killed. " Having your whole community work together will be much more efficient than if you try to take action yourself. Block clubs have historically had a significant impact on getting rid of neighborhood drug dealers. Get together with neighbors and arrange for "positive loitering," where members of the club do things like sweep the streets, pick up litter, and do other activities near where drugs are sold. The constant presence of people may dissuade drug dealers that operate in public places. Go to community meetings together. Many communities have safety training meetings, police meetings, and other events and activities where you can learn more about how to keep your neighborhood safe. If your neighborhood is rough, it may be safer to avoid having Neighborhood Watch or block club meetings in that area. Instead, look for a public location such as a church or community center, or even a small local business. Even meeting a few blocks away can provide more safety for your members. Definitely avoid having meetings at any one individual's house, as this could provide dealers with a target for revenge. Areas such as vacant lots are prime territory for drug dealers. Contact your local officials to see if lots can be turned into parks or playgrounds. Your community may even be able to pitch in to beautify an area. Eliminating potential dealing spots will help drive dealers out of your neighborhood. If the property where you believe drug dealing is occurring is a rental, contacting the person in charge of the property may help them take action. If you don't know who is in charge of the property, your local tax office can usually provide you with information about the owner, landlord, or property manager. Things such as broken streetlights, abandoned cars, and degraded fences can provide opportunities for drug dealers to thrive. Taking actions such as getting street lights repaired and abandoned vehicles towed are small fixes, but they can have a big effect. Many local law enforcement agencies work together with the community in specific programs, such as CrimeStoppers and "drug dealer eviction" programs, to help eliminate drug activity. Ask about how to work with these established programs to ensure everyone's safety.
