Article: You may begin to see a pattern of missing items from your home. You might also notice money being taken from your wallet or purse without your consent. If your teen is desperate for money to purchase more drugs, they might start to steal from you or sell their valuables for cash. If you notice money or valuables that are missing from your home, ask your teen if they know where the item went. You may start to notice that some of your prescription or over the counter medication is missing. Over the counter medications such as cough syrup can be abused. Prescription medication such as opioids or stimulants can also be abused and are very addictive. If someone in your home has been prescribed a commonly abused prescription medication, consider hiding that medication or keeping count of the pills in the container. Some commonly abused prescription medications include opioids, sedatives, and stimulants. Lock up your medications if you suspect that your child may be abusing them. If your teen is doing drugs, their grades are likely to suffer. They may be skipping school, not turning in homework assignments, or simply not focusing during class. Schedule a time to talk with your child's teachers, school counselor, or coaches to discuss your child's academic progress. Many schools now report grades to parents through a web-based system. Monitor your teen's grades and attendance closely. All teens want respect for their space and privacy. However, if this need for privacy becomes extreme, it may also be a sign of drug use. It should be considered alarming if your teen considers their room "off limits" and refuses to allow you access to their room or personal belongings. Your teen's bedroom is not the only place that may contain clues of drug use. There may also be information on their phone, computer, or in their car. Take note if your teen makes sudden "privacy" demands. Your teenager may start to listen to more drug related music. They may wear t-shirts or hang posters on their wall that are related to drugs. If you aren't familiar with these images or artists, do your research. Their new fascination could be a sign of drug use.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Notice any missing or stolen items. Take inventory of your medicine cabinet. Check in with the teen's school. Notice your teen's desire for privacy. Observe any changes in interest.
Article: Chickens are capable of learning. If you constantly use one specific call for one task they will respond to it. Remember to be patient and consistent. For example, if you say "Scraps!" every time you bring food out, they will learn to come get food when you say that word. A short, high-pitched "tuck tuck tuck" sound is chicken code for "I've found food, come check it out!" You can mimic this sound when you want to give your chickens something to eat, or if you need to do a role call because you've seen a fox lurking nearby. Both hens and roosters use this call. Ring the bell and throw some mealworms on the ground where the chickens can see them. Continue to ring the bell as they eat the worms so they clearly associate the ringing of the bell with the tasty treat. Do this every day for about a week so they will catch on. Make sure that every chicken gets some mealworms when they come, even those on the bottom of the pecking order. This will ensure that all the chickens have a good reason to come when you ring the bell. After they get used to the bell, you don't have to give them the worms every single time you call them. Be sure to still give them mealworms sometimes so they continue to have an incentive to respond to the bell.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Use one word or sound consistently to teach the chickens. Call your chickens to you using their food call. Train the chickens to come to a certain spot with a bell.
Article: Once the grounding rod has been driven into the ground, you need to connect it to the electrical system of the building. Pull the grounding electrode conductor up to the top of the grounding rod, making sure it is long enough to make a permanent connection between them. Give the grounding electrode a little bit of slack, so it's not extremely tight where it connects with the grounding rod. This will ensure that if it gets hit or pushed on, it won't get dislodged from the grounding rod. If the grounding electrode conductor has a sheath on it, the last 12 inch (1.3cm) should be cut off, exposing the wire. There are specific clamps that are used to connect grounding electrode conductors to grounding rods. You will need 1 clamp. Put the end of the conductor and the end of the rod inside of the clamp and turn the screw on the clamp to press them together securely. These clamps are sold in home improvement and hardware stores. The ground bus is where all the ground and neutral wires are attached in the electrical panel. To make the connection, slide the end of the grounding electrode conductor through one of the holes in the bus and tighten the screw in that hole until it holds the wire very tightly. In some cases, the ground wires will be connected to the ground bus and the neutral wires are connected to the neutral bus. These 2 bars are then connected with a main bonding jumper. If this is the case, you can attach your grounding electrode conductor wherever it fits on either bus. You need to be very careful when you are doing any work in an electrical panel. Make sure that your fingers, tools, and the grounding electrode conductor don't make contact with the energized bars in the panel, which are located behind the circuit breakers. If you are unsure about how to make this connection safely, hire an electrician to do the work.
