Problem: Article: Many cults will get their members to approach you on the street in order to ask you to complete a quick survey or to solicit cash or goods donations. They may also go door-to-door. If you choose to participate, be careful in what information you provide. If you are interested, ask for their contact information, so that you can do some research before reaching out. To avoid scaring potential new member away, many cults will actually hide within a large organization or operate as a fairly common organization. The key here is to watch if the group’s expectations begin to change over time or if certain more radical members start to take control. For example, some cults pose as Bible study groups or even volunteer organizations. They may wait an extended time before revealing their true nature to individual members. ” This is when a cult focuses all of their attention and resources on persuading a particular person to join. They might bombard you with affectionate gestures until you feel pressured to give in to their requests or demands. They might also act as if you are central to the group, even if you just barely know them. For example, they might give you lavish, expensive gifts in order to show the rewards you can get from their group. These gifts usually won’t last after you’ve given in.
Summary: Be cautious when responding to surveys or donation requests. Look for cults that pose as non-threatening groups or clubs. Recognize if you are a target of “love bombing.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Along with keeping your windshield clean, you can also improve your visibility in wet conditions by ensuring that your wipers are up to the job, and by using the right washer fluid.  Replace your wipers every year to prevent them from cracking, breaking, or not sealing properly when you need them most. Try a hydrophobic washer fluid that will cause water to bead up and drip off your windshield, rather than sticking to it and blocking your view. During any inclement weather or unfavorable driving conditions, your first reaction should always be to adjust your speed accordingly. Wet roads reduce your traction, and slowing down reduces the chances of you skidding out, and will give you more time to react to emergencies.  Wet roads can reduce your traction by about a third, so you should also reduce your speed by a third.  Even small amounts of water can make the road more slippery, because the water mixes with oils on the road, and this creates a greasy layer. Driving too quickly on wet roads can lead to hydroplaning, which means that your tires lose contact with the road. When a car hydroplanes, you have very little control in terms of steering or braking. When you're behind the wheel, it's important to always pay attention to the road, other cars, and pedestrians. This is especially true in the rain, when you cannot see as well, and your ability to stop may be hindered by the slickness of the road. Stay focused by:  Keeping your eyes on the road at all times Paying attention to what drivers and pedestrians are doing around you. Turning off the radio, and ignoring your cell phone and other electronic devices. Ceasing any conversations you were having with passengers. Not eating, reading, or putting on makeup while driving. When it starts to rain, turn on your headlights immediately, regardless of whether it's day or night. In some states, it's actually illegal to drive without headlights when it's raining. There are two reasons why you should drive with your lights on in the rain:  First of all, your headlights will make it easier for other drivers to see your car. Second, rain typically means cloudy skies, and turning your lights on will help you see the road better. You should always drive with your hands at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock on the steering wheel, because this gives you maximum control if you have to turn, swerve, or react quickly. It's especially important to have both hands on the wheel when driving conditions are subpar. While traditional wisdom said to drive with your hands at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock on the steering wheel, this increases the chances of injury from airbags in case of a collision. You should always leave a three- to four-second gap between your car and the car in front of you, and you should increase this to at least five seconds when it's raining. Not only does this give you more time to stop or adjust if necessary, but it also prevents reduced visibility caused by the spray from other cars.  To determine how many seconds you are behind another car, make note of when that car passes a landmark (like a street sign) and then count how many seconds it takes before your car passes that same landmark. Leaving space includes leaving an opening where you can escape quickly if necessary. To do this, make sure you always leave at least one open space beside or in front of you that you can move into. Slamming on the brakes can cause you to slide forward, and you won't be able to control the car. Hitting the brakes too hard can also force water into your brakes, making them less effective.  Instead of braking, you can also slow yourself down by easing off the accelerator, and downshifting if you have a manual transmission. Not being able to stop as quickly in the rain is another reason why it's so important to leave extra space between your car and the one in front of you. Turning too quickly on a wet road can cause your tires to hydroplane, and this means you won't be able to control the car, and could skid out. Whenever you have a turn coming up, signal early and start slowing down sooner than you would in good conditions. Just like with driving, you should reduce the speed of your turns by about a third when it's raining. Cruise control is another factor that can lead to hydroplaning. The weight of the car shifts slightly when you ease on or off the accelerator, and this helps the tires maintain traction with the road. But with cruise control, because the speed of the car is constant, there is no weight shift, and the car can lose traction. Never be afraid to pull over to the side of the road if you don't feel comfortable driving. If you can't see the sides of the road, the cars in front of you, or your surroundings at a safe distance, pull over.  Other things that can reduce your visibility include the glare from other car lights and lightning. You may also need to pull over if there's too much water on the road, the road is too slick, or you simply don't feel safe. To pull over safely, turn on your signal, check your mirror and blind spots, pull over as far as possible to the side of the road, and turn on your four-way lights.

SUMMARY: Turn on your windshield wipers. Slow down. Stay focused. Turn your lights on. Drive with both hands on the wheel. Stay five seconds behind the car in front of you. Avoid slamming on the brakes. Take turns slowly. Don't use cruise control. Pull over if necessary.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Ducks need a house with good ventilation and plenty of space to move around. When you Build a Wood Duck House, it's important to make it spacious enough for the number of ducks you anticipate housing. Six to eight feet by four to five feet is a good, standard size for a duck house. Your duck house should have a solid floor (vinyl tile works well). They can lay on the ground, but having this solid flooring prevents predators from burrowing into their coop. Keep 1 to 2 inch gaps between the planks for ventilation, and make sure that the coop is at least 3 feet tall. Because ducks spend a lot of time in water and exhale a lot of moisture when they breathe, proper ventilation is essential to preventing frostbite in the winter and mold/mildew growth in the summer. The ducks can get infections if they are laying in urine or feces, so try to keep the coop floor clean. Covering the floor with some absorbent materials can help keep it dry and make it easier to clean. Try covering the coop floor with sand, straw, or pine shavings to give the ducks a soft, clean space to lay down. It's important to provide them a space where they can lay down and keep their abdomens dry.
Summary:
Build a coop. Build the coop with wood planks. Keep the coop floor dry.
