INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before loading the revolver, you must remove the manufacturer's preservative and/or any built-up grime. To do so thoroughly, you'll need to disassemble the gun. The exact disassembly process will vary by manufacturer, so check on the procedure before continuing. Scrub all parts of the disassembled gun with a cotton swab to strip the grease away. Dip the swab in a cleaning solvent or hot, soapy water. Scrub the interior of all cylinder chambers with the cotton swab. Set the cylinder down so that all of the chambers face downward. This will allow the water or solvent to drain. Pass a cleaning patch soaked with solvent or hot, soapy water through the barrel. Pass clean, dry swabs or patches through each chamber and through the barrel to finish the cleaning process. As you reassemble the revolver, you should oil all moving parts and grease the grooves of the cylinder pin. Note that reassembly will vary by gun manufacturer. As with disassembly, you should check on the exact procedure before continuing. Use a natural lubricant instead of a petroleum-based one. Apply a light coating of your chosen lubricant to all moving parts of the gun. Do not oil the gun heavily since doing so can cause fouling. You should also lightly grease each ball you'll be firing and the opening of each chamber. Even if you just reassembled the revolver, it's a good idea to verify that the gun is currently unloaded before continuing. At this time, you should also put on your safety goggles and hearing protection. Set the hammer in its half cocked position. Aim the gun at a safe target and squeeze the trigger. The hammer should not move. If you can squeeze the trigger and the hammer falls, the revolver is broken and unsafe. Do not load it. Instead, you must have the gun repaired. The half cocked position acts as the revolver's "safety" position. Slide a cleaning rod or wooden dowel down the barrel and mark rod at the muzzle. You need to make sure that the chamber is aligned with the barrel. Remove the rod and lay it along the outside of the barrel, lining it up with the mark at the muzzle. The opposite end should end at the nipple, which is where the chamber ends. Repeat this step with each chamber. If the rod does not line up correctly for any chamber, there is an obstruction. Do not load it. You must clear the obstruction before continuing.

SUMMARY: Disassemble the revolver. Clean it thoroughly. Lightly oil the gun as you reassemble it. Verify that the gun is unloaded. Check the half cock position. Insert a cleaning rod down the barrel.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Now that you've developed goals, identified alternatives, and evaluated those alternatives, create a list of the strategies you've identified. Consider your current situation and then start thinking about which goals might be most realistic. Take your current net worth into account. If your liabilities approach or outweigh your current net assets, you'll want to take steps to change that ratio. While you may opt to focus on developing your net assets, don't forget that paying off debt can be a great investment. Interest charges mean that even paltry debts can become overwhelming over time. Allocating some resources toward debt reduction now may prevent serious problems from developing later. Strive for a balanced approach toward short-, intermediate-, and long-term goals that will enable you to plan for a few months and a few years down the line. Focus upon incremental growth. By doing so you will create a road map that will take you toward your goals. Be realistic. You won't be able to adopt all the great strategies you've evaluated at once, but selecting a balanced range of goals will help you meet the goals you do choose and grow toward a point when you can take on additional projects. You already know your net assets and liabilities from your analysis of your current net worth; set these into a framework that includes the decisions you've made. Then hold yourself accountable for these decisions. If you've committed to spending $80 less per month on coffee and placing that money in a savings account, list that in your budget. Goals such as obtaining a new job may not fit neatly into a budget, but should be listed in an easy-to-reference location as part of your working financial plan. You may be fully capable of making financial decisions, but a professional adviser has the advantage of emotional detachment from your financial situation.

SUMMARY: Look at the big picture. Decide which goals you'll pursue now. Develop a budget that incorporates your financial planning goals. Consider hiring a professional financial adviser.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: " While it is possible to alter the color of the artboard itself, this change is only visible in the digital version of the project. The altered artboard color will not appear in any printed versions of your work. Select "File" and choose "Document Setup" from the drop down menu. This change only exists within Adobe Illustrator. When you print or export your project, the artboard will revert to its original white color. To change the background color permanently, you need to create a separate background layer. Locate the "Transparency" section. Check the box next to "Simulate Colored Paper. The "Simulate Colored Paper" feature mimics actual paper. The darker the paper, the darker your artwork will appear. If you set the background color to black, your artwork would disappear because it would not be visible on real black paper. Within the "Transparency" section, locate the white rectangle. Click on the white rectangle to open up a "Color Palette" dialogue box. Select a color from the palette and click "Ok." To save the changes you made to the artboard, click "Ok" again. Even though you saved the changes, the new artboard color only exists within Adobe Illustrator. If you print or export your work, the artboard will revert to its original white color. Creating a separate background layer is the only way to permanently change the background color.

SUMMARY: Open "Document Setup. Change the transparency settings. Change the background color.
