Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make sure the bag is dry before storing. Store in a large stuff sack or hanging up.

Answer: Never store a wet sleeping bag. There are two main schools of thought on long-term sleeping bag storage. Both probably depend on the amount of space you have but the choice is yours:   Store your sleeping bag hanging up. If you have the space, hanging your sleeping bag is an ideal way to ensure that the feathers or fill are not being crushed at all. The best hanger is one that the bag can be folded over rather than a clip one, although both will do the job.  An alternative to hanging is to store it lying flat under a bed. Either way, the point is to let it loft out and breathe, without being exposed to weather or dirt.  Keep your sleeping bag in the larger cotton bag for storage. For those with less space, the key thing is to get your sleeping bag out of its travel stuff/compression sack, the tightness of which breaks, damages or weakens the lofting abilities of the feathers or fill. If you have an older sleeping bag, or it just didn't come with a larger storage bag, purchase one. Most camping and outdoors stores carry these. Or just use a large pillowcase.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Disconnect telephone equipment one at a time while listening on the phone. Listen for the static to go away. Test the offending jack by plugging in a different phone or device. Try changing channels on your cordless phones. Move or disable interfering equipment.

Answer: The first thing to do when troubleshooting static is to methodically disconnect each piece of equipment that is connected to your phone line. This includes other phones, answering machines, DSL modems, fax machines, computers connected via dial-up, and alarm systems. Each time you disconnect a piece of equipment, listen for static on the line. If the static stops, then the last piece you disconnected is likely causing the interference. Try plugging the offending piece of equipment into a different jack if possible. It's possible the jack itself is causing the interference, and not the device that was connected. If the static returns after plugging in a different phone or device, you'll need to replace the jack. See Install a Residential Telephone Jack for instructions. If you're experiencing static or other interference on your cordless phone, there may be too many signals on the frequency. Look for a Channel button on your handset or on the base station. Change channels until you find one clear of interference. Certain electronics impede on the frequency used by cordless phones, and moving or turning off this equipment may help your signal.  Try to keep cordless phones out of your kitchen, as microwave ovens will often disrupt the signal. Home wireless networks running on 802.11b/g are operating on the same frequency as your cordless phone (2.4GHz. You may need to upgrade your router to one that supports 5GHz wireless. See Choose a Wireless Router for more information. Baby monitors, bluetooth devices, and other cordless phones can all cause interference.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Do a performance review to determine if you need new training materials. Identify the aim of this training program. Target the intended audience for this training program. Review the job responsibilities if this program is for a specific position. Identify the information that should be in the training program. Decide which medium is the best for this training program.

Answer:
Before you put together any training materials, review your operations and see if new training is necessary. While carrying out this performance review, look for problems that need improvement. You may find out that the operations as a whole need a reevaluation, or that the problem is concentrated in one sector.  One common reason for developing new training materials is a knowledge gap between what your employees know how to do and what they encounter on the job. If you review your operations and see that employees often don’t have the knowledge to handle certain situations, then plan a training program filling in these gaps. If, on the other hand, your review shows that one department is not performing well, plan a training program targeted at this audience. For example, if sales are down, you may see that the sales department is not interacting well with customers. A new training program could address that problem. Ask yourself, "What is the intended end result for a new training program?" and "What should people learn or be able to do after they’ve completed this training?" Always keep this in mind when you're planning your training materials. Consider how each step brings participants closer to that goal. All activities, graphics, questions, and information should address this end goal. Don’t include unnecessary steps. Know your end goal and work toward that with your training program. Focusing on your intended audience is key to developing an effective training program. Once you’ve identified the problem and the intended result of your training, move on to who the program should target. If you’re producing a general employee handbook for everyone, the information shouldn’t be full of jargon and technical terms. If, however, the audience is an individual department, then your training should address what that department does specifically.  For example, if your company’s sales have been down, you may determine that the problem lies with the salespeople. In response, you plan a retraining session for the sales department. Such a session would involve improving their pitches, customer interaction, and interpersonal communication. If, on the other hand, you want to improve your office safety for all staff, your training program would include more general information like where all the fire escapes are, what the correct emergency numbers are, and how to respond in an emergency. If you’re planning a training program or manual for a specific position, then all the information has to be relevant to that position. The key first step is understanding that job entirely. Review the job description and responsibilities for this position. Identify the knowledge that someone in this role would require to carry out their responsibilities. Remember that a posted job description may be different from what this employee does every day. Ask employees in this position or similar ones what their days really consist of, what challenges they face, and what unexpected scenarios they see. After conducting your reviews and targeting your audience, you can now start developing your training program. Use what you’ve learned and write out the information your training program should include. While you do this, consider how you can break this information down into smaller sections for your training materials.  Remember to keep your end goal in mind when selecting information. All this information should support that end goal. You may have seen in your review that warehouse workers were operating equipment dangerously. In this case, your training program should clearly lay out the proper safety procedures that all employees must follow. You have several choices for what kind of training materials you’ll put together. Some common ones are a new manual, a quarterly presentation, or an online module. Think about what your training program will consist of. Then consider which of these mediums will best convey that information.  Each medium carries its own strengths and weaknesses. A manual is easy to reference and look up information from, but it’s unlikely that employees will read every page. An online module is interactive and might hold peoples’ attention better, but usually they can’t refer back to it afterward. Weigh these strengths and weaknesses to decide on the best medium. Keep in mind the feasibility and work involved with each medium. For example, you may decide that an online module will deliver the best results, but you’d need software developers to put it together. If you own a bakery, this may not be a feasible option.
