Problem: Article: Most intruders are concerned about being noticed, so they may avoid areas where homeowners are on alert. Work with your neighbors to create a neighborhood watch program. Then, take turns patrolling your neighborhood. Additionally, post a sign at the entrance to your street warning would-be intruders that you have a neighborhood watch.  If your neighborhood already has a neighborhood watch program, reach out to the organizer to find out how you can join. Don’t assume that someone you don’t know is a criminal. It’s possible that they recently moved in, are an invited guest, or are just passing through. If you’re worried, call the police and let them talk to the person. Sometimes an intruder will come to your door disguised as a salesperson, poll taker, delivery person, or utility worker. The best way to protect yourself from these individuals is to refuse to open the door. When they knock, pretend that you aren’t home or tell them that you can’t come to the door right now.  It’s easiest to just ignore the knocking. Monitor the situation until they leave the area so you know they’re not prowling around your home. If you're expecting someone, ask the person to identify themself so you know it's the right person. Sometimes you’re expecting someone, like a delivery person, but you might still be worried. In these moments, call out like you’re talking to someone else in the house. This signals to a potential intruder that your house might be well-protected. You might say, “Honey! The pizza is here!” or “There’s four people in this house, but I’m always the one who has to get the door!” Hearing a possible prowler can be super scary! If you suspect someone is outside, turn on as many lights in your house as you can. This shows them that someone is home and prepared for a confrontation. Additionally, it makes it harder for them to hide. The lights might also flood the area outside, making the intruder feel very visible. Don’t take any chances with your safety. If someone might be breaking into your home, call the police immediately and then take steps to protect yourself. Even if you’re wrong about the intruder, it’s better to be safe than sorry. If you have an alarm, trigger it to alert the police and possibly scare off the intruder.
Summary: Form a neighborhood watch program to spot potential prowlers. Don’t answer the door if you don’t know the person. Act like there are people in the house when you answer the door. Turn on all the lights if you think someone’s trying to break in. Call the police if you see someone prowling around your home.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Depending on the song's rhythm, you may need to rotate between several different striking methods in a song. Practice going from one technique to another quickly so that if a song calls for several different tones or rhythms, you can match it with the right roll or strike. While using two hands may seem useful for complex songs, it can mess with your timing. Avoid switching the tambourine back and forth between your hands for the clearest rhythm. If you're playing along to a fast song, hold the tambourine in your non-dominant hand and prop your foot on something that puts your thigh parallel to the floor, like a box or stepping stool. Strike your knee or thigh with the tambourine's shell (back side) while you play a tempo with your dominant hand. This helps make the tambourine strike louder and more pronounced. If you're trying to play along to a song you didn't write, listen for a drum, triangle, cymbal, or other percussion instruments, and try striking your tambourine to the same beat. When in doubt, this is a safe way to make sure you're playing to the right beat.
Summary: Practice transitioning between striking techniques. Play as much of the rhythm as possible on one hand. Strike your tambourine against your knee when playing fast rhythms. Play to the beat of the percussion if you don't know when to play.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: " Place the bales onto the pallet on their sides with the cut side up. Line them up evenly, side by side, until you fully cover the pallet with a single layer of bales. If stacked properly, the strings will be on the sides, rather than the top and bottom. This allows for better air circulation. When a bale is on its side, the hay stems should run vertically. The top of the bale will feel sharp and jagged. " The second layer needs to be placed perpendicularly to the first, with all the bales placed width-wise. This time, the strings will be on the top and bottom rather than on the side. You can usually put them loosely in their spot and kick them firmly into place, especially if it's a tight spot. You can also shove the bale in with your knee, which would be safer. Make sure the bales are packed in as tightly as possible.  Tightly packing the bales helps prevent unstable stacks. The orientation of the bales (cut side up) allows for circulation.  If your bales are still green, pack them in a little more loosely. Alternating the direction allows for good air circulation and results in very stable stacks. Changing the direction each time locks the bales in together, almost like puzzle pieces, with great stability. This is the simplest and easiest way to stack hay. Vertically, the bales will form four-bale columns, and between these columns, the stack can collapse. If your stacks are four bales or fewer, this won't be as much of an issue. Cover the pallet with the first layer, then start building stacks from the corners toward the middle. Make sure to keep the corners or each new stack perfectly lined up with the corners below to assure stability.
Summary:
Stack the bottom layer "cut side up. Stack the second layer "top side up. Tuck your bales tightly together. Continue alternating the direction for each layer. Do four layers total for the most stability. Fill the pallet to capacity.
