INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Southern accents are different in many different parts of the South. Phrases and accents were different in Georgia in 1800s as opposed to modern day New Orleans. The slow Southern Drawl is more common in the past and in rural areas than in metropolitan areas like Atlanta or Birmingham. Usually, they are grouped into categories by region. Here are two major regions into which the South is divided as well as their differences in speech: Coastal/Lowland: Drop your "r"s at the end of words and blend them with the next word (as in, "bigguh dog" instead of "bigger dog"). Turn short vowels, like "dog," into longer diphthongs ("dah-wug"). Inland/Mountain: Exaggerate the "oo" sound in words like "loose." Pay more attention to the "o" in words like "coat." Get used to the way the Southern accent sounds. In the Netflix series House of Cards, Frank Underwood has a slight Southern accent, while in some movies, such as Forrest Gump, many of the characters have stronger Southern accents. The TV Show "Justified" has excellent modern day Mountain regional accents. Watch a variety of movies and shows to get a feel for different types of Southern accents. If you know someone with a Southern accent, ask them to sit down and talk with you. If you don't know someone with a Southern accent, ask around until you find someone who knows what you want to do and doesn't mind talking to you for a little bit. Repeat the same words over and over again, and try to say the words exactly how the other person says them. Ask them to correct you on how you say certain words and to coach you on how to say these words. Try reading The Complete Guide to Speaking Southern by Steve Mitchell, as well as the book's sequel. You could also find a book for actors on perfecting accents in general. Reading about how to acquire and maintain a Southern accent will certainly help you when you try to speak with one.

SUMMARY: Research the specific Southern accent you want to adapt. Watch TV shows and movies featuring characters with Southern accents. Try to find someone with a Southern accent. Read a book about speaking with a Southern accent.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Obtain a radio scanner that is capable of receiving frequencies between 118.0 and 136.975 MHz. Good brands to check out include Uniden, and Whistler. You can also find general coverage receivers from Icom, Yaesu, Grundig, Kenwood and others that will pick up air frequencies. You're better off selecting a good scanner instead of a general coverage unit, thanks to the scanner's ability to easily monitor multiple frequencies. Realize that in radio electronics, you get what you pay for. A scanner from one of the aforementioned brands will outperform a no-name brand that claims airline coverage. Most scanners pick up the entirety of the aircraft band. You can also listen to air traffic control facilities from around the world at websites including liveatc.net, globalair.com, airnav.com and radioreference.com. 121.5 is the emergency frequency. If there is some sort of emergency, pilots will transmit on it. You could also hear an emergency locator beacon on this frequency if a plane crashes. 122.750 MHz is the frequency for general aviation air to air communications 123.025 MHz is the frequency for helicopters air to air communications 123.450 MHz is the "unofficial" frequency for air to air communications Search 122.0-123.65 for Unicom (uncontrolled airports) and air to air communications. Search 128.825-132.000 MHz for ARINC frequencies (airlines, corporate aviation and general aviation calling ahead for fuel, parking, and other requests).

SUMMARY: Find live frequencies. Memorize some of the basic frequencies.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The needed bacteria grow best when temperatures are warm but not too warm. A couple of degrees either way is fine, but try to keep the water in this range. You can go as low as 77F (25C). You can do it in a coldwater tank, but it will take longer. Of course, you'll need a water pump system for your fish. More vigorous pumps will help the bacteria grow faster, so if you're in a hurry, pick a pump that moves the water around at a rate of 5 times the amount your tank holds in an hour. For instance, if your tank holds 20 gallons, it should be able to move 100 gallons (380L). The pH level also affects how quickly your tank will mature. Check the pH levels with a pH kit, which works similarly to the ammonia and nitrate kits. You dip a strip into water, and see what color it turns. Then you compare it to a chart. The pH levels should be between 7.5 and 8 for ideal conditions. If you need to make the tank more acidic, you can add peat. If you need to make it more alkaline, you can add mineral salts (such as calcium). It you need to create an acidic tank, use a chemical filter instead of developing bacteria. It takes a few weeks for the bacteria to properly develop in the tank. Be patient. Don't add the fish too soon, as you could end up with "new tank" syndrome. Just keep checking the chemical levels.

SUMMARY: Keep the temperature around 85F (29C). Circulate the water. Test the pH level. Add fish after 2 to 4 weeks when the tank is ready.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will need to obtain a fast food dipping sauce container that approximately 2.25 inches (5.71cm) x 1.25 inches x 1 inch (2.5cm) high. You will also need fun foam (3" x 2"), white card stock paper (10" x 3/16"), acrylic paint, glue, matte sealer, scissors, and a pencil. The fun foam can be any colour as you will be painting it. The paper needs to be card stock as regular paper will ripple when painted. Choose your prefered colour of acrylic paint and a matte sealer as glossy will provide too much shine. Wash the container and dry it completely. Smoothen the lip by trimming any extra plastic. Turn the container upside down and use a pencil to trace the face of the container onto the Fun Foam in order to make the lid. Cut out the lid being mindful not to create any jagged edges. Glue the container's top to the fun foam. Make sure the glue has completely dried before you trim the edges. Cut the edges to ensure the top is smooth and to avoid any ripples. Starting at the short end of the container, wrap the strip of cardstock around the edge and create the lip for the top of the container. Slightly overlap the beginning and end of the cardstock as you continue around the entire edge of the container. Use tweezers or forceps to set the cardstock in place and glue where necessary. Let the glue dry and be mindful to only use a little bit of glue as any excess will create visible drops or marks. Trim any excess cardstock to create a smooth even line all the way around the container. Choose your colour and paint several coats on both the tote and the lid. Dry before applying each coat and aim for at least 3 coats of paint. Once your final coat has dried, apply sealer it give it a plastic finish. Use a fine tipped paint brush or cut an angled piece of foam to apply the paint and sealer. You may also add a label or graphic design to your tote.

SUMMARY:
Gather your supplies. Ready your container and lid. Attach the lid lip. Paint and seal.
