In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Observe the cat for a few days. This way, you can determine its nature, especially when humans come close. Is the cat afraid or scared of people? Is it angry? If you think they may be dangerous you shouldn't try handling them. Instead, call animal control or a human society who will be able to professionally capture and handle the cat if you think they pose a danger. Cats communicate their feelings with body language that can be rather obvious. For example:  An angry or upset cat will have ears that are flattened back, dilated pupils, a tail which is switching back and forth, an arched back, and fur standing on end. The cat will typically be growling. This is a sign to back off. If it hasn't run away, a scared cat will typically lay flat or have its tail between its legs. Proceed with caution in trying to tame these cats. In contrast, a contented and relaxed cat's ears will be forward and alert, and its tail will be straight up in the air. Its fur will be flat (not standing on end), and the cat may even stretch, lay down, and roll onto its back. While you will not be close to the cat, you will be able to observe its overall health from afar.  Check to see if it looks skinny or bony. It may be hungry. Look at its fur to see if it looks healthy, or if it looks matted, patchy, bald, or otherwise unhealthy. See if the cat has any other obvious issues, such as limping, cuts, sores, or other problems. Feral cats and kittens are generally unvaccinated and carry a slight risk for carrying the deadly rabies virus. While very uncommon, rabies in cats can occur primarily in outdoor, unvaccinated cats and kittens. The symptoms of rabies can vary and may take months to develop after a cat or kitten was exposed to the virus.  Classic signs of rabies in cats and kittens include an ill cat (lethargic, not eating, weakness) and/or changes in behavior (aggressive, restless, disoriented, paralysis, seizures).  If you encounter a feral cat with these symptoms, call animal control and do not attempt to handle the cat or kitten.
Summary: Get to know the cat's personality. Observe the cat's body language for cues. Observe the cat's general health. Stay away from cats with suspected rabies.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Tune into a popular channel, like 19. Other channels are seldom monitored, and 6 is often hogged by illegally over-powered stations who transmit for long periods of time.  There are 40 stations for CB radio and you’re sure to find someone talking on one of these stations. Listen out for some common CB codes:  10-1 means the reception is poor. 10-4 means messaged received. 10-7 means out of service. 10-9 means repeat message 10-20 means what’s your location? Listen to the channel for a few moments. If there are people talking, politely wait for a break. When you're sure it's clear, ask for a radio check. Wait for a response. If no one responds, re-issue a radio check, but wait patiently before doing so.  When another operator responds, interpret their response.  Many operators are truck drivers who aren't looking for conversation. Others are enthusiasts that can not wait to chat. Follow the tone of the other person/people. Be polite. Nobody wants to communicate with a rude operator. Also be sure not to take up too much air time while on a crowded station. Plan to use the CB radio with your friends by picking a station to use. Once you are apart, send out a radio check and wait for a response.  Say something simple like, “This Wendy at the old lodge, over.” Wait a couple moments before sending out the signal again. Once your contact responds, you can use the CB to chat. Do not use a crowded station for small talk. Channel 9 is immediately reported to highway patrol, police, and rescue services in the area. Use this station to relay any distress message such as suspicious activity or vehicle failure.  This station is also used by authorities to issue out important messages like an amber alert. Never plan to use this station for small talk.
Summary: Explore the channels. Issue a radio check. Use CB with friends. Contact emergency services on channel 9.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Recording the sound of your electric guitar by miking your amp is a great way to simulate studio quality sound. However, this will require expensive equipment, like a quality amp, microphone, and potentially sound dampening equipment or material. On the other hand, you can plug your guitar right into a DI to record your guitar. A limitation of using a DI is the somewhat sterile nature of the recording it produces. A DI will only record the sound of your guitar, without any effects or normal speaker distortion. You'll need a program or machine that can interpret the recording you make and convert it into a suitable format. This kind of technology usually has the added benefit of allowing you to edit the sound you will record.  DAWs and sound production software cover a range of features. Some are free, and some can be over $800 in cost.  The most suitable DAW/software depends entirely on your purposes and situation. Even with the best equipment adjusted to optimal settings, if you forget to tune your guitar, your recording probably won't turn out like you want. You may also want to replace your strings, as new strings create a brighter tone and have better sustain. Finger sliding can make unwanted squeaks while recording. Apply fretboard lubricant to your guitar beforehand to help prevent these from occurring.
Summary:
Decide between mic recording or using a direct box (DI). Invest in a digital audio workstation (DAW) or comparable software. Prepare your electric guitar.
