INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Also called electronic speed control, tanks with this feature move at different speed increments depending on how far you push the joystick. Try moving the joystick partway when maneuvering over difficult ground. The simpler MAG speed control system has just two possible speeds. These may be toggled the same way or by switch. Most hobby-grade tanks have a turret that can rotate anywhere from about 160º to the full 360º, depending on the model. Some can raise or lower the cannon as well. The transmitter may have a separate joystick for the turret or two buttons for clockwise and counterclockwise rotation. If you can't get a particular feature to respond, skip down to troubleshooting instructions. Cheaper tanks may not have this option. Larger tanks often do come with controls for firing the cannon, and sometimes the machine gun as well. This uses one of these three systems:  Some tanks just make a noise and may recoil when the cannon is fired. Infrared weapons shoot an invisible beam that other infrared tanks can detect as "damage" for tank battles. These work best in dim light, and in fairly open areas (to avoid unpredictable bouncing.)  Some tanks fire Airsoft BBs. These can cause injury and damage to objects, and may not be appropriate for children. Some RC tanks have minor features to add realism or fun. The most common are a smoke chamber, which usually operates automatically once it is stocked. If your tank makes firing and engine noises, there may be a volume control on the bottom of the tank. Test any of the non-movement buttons or joysticks while the tank is stationary, then again while it is moving. If the turret or cannon only respond while the tank is still, you have a simple 2-channel transmitter/receiver. These are much easier to operate, but moving will disable all other features. If the features do work while moving, or if you can't get them to work at all, you most likely have an advanced 4+ channel model. Look up specific instructions for your transmitter if possible, or experiment as follows:  If there are small levers next to a joystick, toggling them may enable extra commands from that joystick.  In other systems, you may need to learn specific combinations of both joysticks in order to operate the weapons.  A rapid flick of a joystick may send a different instruction than a steady push.

SUMMARY: Test for proportional controls. Rotate the turret. Fire the weapons. Look for other features. Troubleshoot the controls.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you are interested in using your hula hoop for hoop dancing a lighter and smaller hoop is best for you. Similarly, you burn the most calories by moving a lot while hooping and working your entire body.   A heavy hoop can be hard on your joints, especially when completing complex arm maneuvers. Heavier hoops could also cause injury or break something in the room if it spins off your arm. It is often a good idea to have multiple different hula hoops in different sizes and weights. This way as you progress you can switch between hula hoops based on the activity you are completing. At times you may want to use a light and small hoop to complete complex tricks while at other times you may want a larger hoop for a longer workout.  Also, by having more than one hoop you can share with friends! If you have mastered the regular hula hoop and are looking for a new challenge or want to try your hand at the performance arts LED and fire hoops are available for purchase. There are many online retailers that make and sell fire hoops.   It is a good idea to buy these hula hoops in a slightly smaller size than normal and to practice extensively with them before igniting. They will have a different feel from your normal hoops. Fire hoops also have an added wick that sticks out from the hoop to keep the fire a safe distance from the person using the hoop. As a result, you will need a larger space to practice.
Summary: Light hula hoops are best for hoop dance and fitness hooping. Get a variety of hula hoops to meet all your needs. LED and fire hoops are also an option for those who want to take hula hooping to the next level.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are certain preparatory rituals associated with smoking, and chief among those is packing. This is accomplished by inverting an unopened pack of cigarettes, and rapping it smartly, three to six times, against a table or your palm (spanking the camel). This condenses the loose tobacco so that it's a little tighter in the paper, and in theory, burns a little smoother, and lasts longer. Whether you pull it from the pack with your fingers or your mouth, you'll eventually be holding the cigarette. This is an entirely personal choice with no rules, but there are some common methods of smoking to be aware of:  Classic. Hold the cigarette between the index and middle finger, between the first and second knuckle, palm facing downward. Sophisticated. Same as the Classic, but with palm facing you and fingers pointing upward. Casual. Cigarette is set behind the second knuckle of the middle finger, and secured by wrapping the index finger around it. The hand is in a relaxed, closed position, with palm towards you or facing downward. Euro I. The cigarette is held between the thumb and forefinger, palm out, cigarette pointing outward. Euro II. The cigarette is held between thumb and forefinger, palm facing in and slightly up, with filter end pointing directly at you. This is how they always spotted the Nazi spy in the movies. (Or by not holding it this way, how they found the American spies). Palmed. Cigarette is pinched between thumb and forefinger, but palm is facing in, and cigarette is secreted in hand, pointing towards inner wrist. Useful when you don't want it to be obvious that you're smoking. Feminine. Cigarette is held between the first and second knuckles of the index and middle fingers. Hand is relaxed and bent backwards, with palm facing up. If you pulled it out of the pack with your teeth, you're already there. If not, put the filtered end of the cigarette between your lips.  Some prefer to smoke on one side or another, others in the middle. If you want to know, before you light up in public for the first time, try practicing with a pen or pencil to see what feels right for you. If you're smoking unfiltered cigarettes ("straights"), such as Lucky Strikes or Camel Studs, in theory it doesn't matter which end you put between your lips. In general, however, you'll insert the end with the logo or brand on it.

SUMMARY:
Tamp the pack. Hold the cigarette. Put the cigarette in your mouth.
