Cover the whole area you’re shaving. The warm water will help open up your pores, making it easier to pull the hairs out of their follicles when you shave.  You can also place a warm cloth on your skin for a few minutes. Another option is to shave in the shower with the water falling onto your skin. Don’t press hard enough to draw blood, but give enough pressure to remove the hair at the follicle. Angle your razor so that the blade is not placed at a 90-degree angle to your skin. Something closer to a 45-degree angle is what you’re aiming for. Shave in the direction your hair grows. This will cut down on ingrown hairs and rashes, and help provide a more precise shave. So, if your hairs grow toward the floor, pull your razor downward, toward the floor.  First shave the sections that don’t have any tricky corners or crevices. Shave the tricky spots last. For these areas, you might need to stretch the skin with your fingertips. You don’t have shaving cream to show you where you’ve shaved, so pay close attention. You might have to go over some spots twice. Lift the razor from your skin between strokes and rinse it under running water to unclog the hairs from the blades. There’s no shaving cream to show whether the blades are clean, so pay careful attention.

Wet your skin with warm water. Press the razor firmly against your skin. Make short, smooth strokes. Rinse your razor between strokes.


Cover your counter with plastic sheeting to protect it and make cleaning up easier. Put on a pair of safety goggles to protect your eyes against dust. Finally, put on a mask suitable for working with fine particles. Most dust masks and respirator masks come with a description of what they are used for, such as sanding dust, aerosol, etc. Choose the one for dust. A pencil may work just fine on a slate or ceramic tile, but if the tile is glazed, you should switch to a marker. Try to be as precise as possible for this step. If you need to get inside the wall, then you should cut through the dry wall as well. A dremel rotary cutter with a diamond tile blade will work for most tiles.  If your blade can't go around the corners, skip them for now. Installing a new electrical fixture will require you to get inside the wall. Mounting a towel rack does not. While a dremel rotary tool will work for most lines, it won't work on tight corners. For that, you should switch to an oscillating cutter instead. You may have to experiment before you find the right one for your type of tile. A multi-surface blade seems to work better than a tile blade, however. Wedge a thin knife or spatula behind the tile and pop it out. If you had to cut through the wall, try not to lose anything inside the wall. Your hole is now complete and ready to finish.

Cover your counter and put on a mask and safety goggles. Make the tile where you wish to cut it. Cut along the top, bottom, and side edges. Use an oscillating cutter to cut through tight corners. Pull the tile away.


Cover your fingers with the cotton cloth and swipe it across the wax to get a small amount on the tip of your cloth-covered fingers. Gather enough wax to cover the entire end of the cloth that's on top of your fingers.  A cotton T-shirt works as well. You can also use car wax instead of furniture wax. Place the wax overtop the scratch, working it in gently using the cloth. Rub the cloth over the scratch using circular motions and applying slight pressure. Apply another layer of wax to the scratch, if needed. Don’t worry about adding too much wax to the scratch, as you’ll be wiping off the excess later. The wax will have a slight sheen to it, making it important to apply a thin layer to the rest of the laminate so it all looks cohesive. Dip your cloth in the wax again and gently rub it onto the countertop using circular motions until the entire counter is covered in a thin layer. The layer of wax will also help protect the laminate from additional scratches. After you’ve let the wax sit for a few minutes, use a different clean cotton cloth to remove excess wax and buff the surface. Use even, circular motions going along the entire countertop, applying slight pressure to ensure the laminate has a level coating.  Read the instructions on your container of wax to see if the countertop needs to sit for additional time before you place things on it. Wait roughly 20 minutes for the wax to dry and set on the countertop. The purpose of buffing the countertop after you've applied the wax is to cover the countertop with a very thin layer of wax while the scratch is filled in with a thicker layer of wax.

Dip a soft, cotton cloth in furniture wax. Rub the wax into the scratch gently using circular motions. Use circular motions to apply a light layer of wax to the rest of the counter. Buff the laminate after waiting a couple minutes for the wax to set.


Covered litter-boxes are a great option to help keep the area surrounding the box clean. Keep in mind the advantages and disadvantages of a covered litter-box:  The cover may prevent a lot of litter from escaping the box.  Some cats may even prefer covered litter box. You’re more likely to forget to clean because it’s out of your sight. It traps more odors inside. Therefore, frequent cleaning is necessary. If your cats are large, it may not have enough room. Litter mats are a simple method you can make use of to help contain any mess around the box.  They are used to collect any excess litter that you cats may push onto the floor.  Place the litter mat underneath the litter-box to catch any litter that may fall outside the box. Litter mats may be placed just outside of the litter box opening. Alternatives to the commercially-available mats are small cuts of carpets, rags or towels. Cats appreciate a quite, private bathroom experience.  Try putting your litter-box in a place that is removed from the busy areas of your house.  Keep small children away from the litter-box as they may disturb the cat or try to play with the litter-box. Avoid interrupting your cat when they are using the litter-box as this may discourage future use.

Covering the grass with plastic sheets or tarps for a couple of weeks will kill the grass in the area. This will make it much easier to remove the sod. Place plastic sheets over the area where you will be installing the pool and weigh them down on the edges with heavy objects, such as rocks, bricks, or cinder blocks. If the site isn't already clear, you'll have to remove the grass before leveling the ground. The day after heavy rain is a great time to cut sod. If no rain is in the forecast, water the work area well in the days before you remove the grass. Dry sod is harder to remove. While you don’t want to cut dry sod, don’t use a power sod cutter if the soil is soaked. While you can remove sod manually, a sod cutter is your best option for larger areas of turf. You can rent a power sod cutter at your local home improvement store.  Before you use a sod cutter, make sure the area is clear of sprinklers, hoses, toys, and other potential hazards. Cable wires, landscape lighting wires, and sprinkler pipes may also be just below the sod, so watch for these. Read your user manual and consult your store’s equipment manager for your specific machine’s operating instructions. If you don’t want to deal with power equipment, you can just put in a little elbow grease. Start by scoring the sod with a spade to divide it into sections, then use your hoe and shovel to dig out each section. Remove at least 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) of the work area's surface. Recruit some friends or family to help make the job go faster. If necessary, you can bribe them with pool time! A power cutter removes sod in sections that you can roll up and transfer to a wheelbarrow or lawn bags. Removing sod manually is messier, and you'll need to shovel the sod into your receptacle. When you're finished, you can leave lawn bags on the curb for pickup or add the sod (or a portion of it) to your compost heap. If you used a power cutter and your rolls of sod are in good shape, you could lay it down on a bare patch elsewhere in your yard. Water the bare...

Place plastic sheets over the area 2 weeks in advance to kill grass. Remove sod after rain or a thorough watering. Rent a sod cutter to make the job easier. Use a grub hoe if you don’t want to rent equipment. Roll up and dispose of your sod.


Covering your face with a cloth shield can protect your skin from sunburn as well as windburn. You should wear one when doing activities such as riding a motorcycle or riding in a boat, as you are exposed to sun and strong winds. You can protect yourself from sun, wind, and dust by covering your mouth and nose with a face shield. Put it around your neck, then pull it up to cover the lower half of your face. Put the face shield around your head as you would a bandana, so that it wraps around your forehead. This will help keep sweat from running into your eyes so that you can have a clear view. You can also use the face shield as a ponytail holder or a bracelet by wrapping it around your hair or wrist. Put the face shield over your head so that it sits around your neck. This can protect your skin from sun and wind. Fold the shield so that makes a cap. Place it on your head to keep you warm or prevent sunburn. You can also use the shield as a scarf or headband, by looping it around your head or neck.

Cowboys work outdoors, not in corporate offices, so their skin is tan, leathery, and coarse from wind and sun, which they often see twelve hours a day, six or even seven days a week. Cowboys don't spend a lot of time working on their fingernails, or trying to keep their hands baby-smooth and soft.  Cowboy work makes for rough callouses and dirty nails.  Cuts, bruises, and scars are regular sights on hands that spend their time working with fences, lassos, horseshoes, and other rough materials. A duster is a long leather jacket, usually with large buttons, and sometimes with fringe in various spots. The duster is most appropriate during cold weather or while traveling. Like most things cowboy, the larger buttons are practical – they’re much easier to use with gloves on.  A sturdy leather vest is a good substitute when the weather is warm. Chaps are perhaps the most extreme of all the cowboy wear.  Chaps provide extra protection and while working on horseback and at the rodeo. It’s not advisable to wear chaps in many other settings.  The same probably goes for spurs.

Cowhide boots are classic, and the most classic hues are brown and black. You can also find women's cowboy boots in other colors like white and red. Leather boots can look casual or classy, depending on their condition and what you pair them with. You could also wear suede boots, which are a little more elegant but harder to maintain.  Pay attention to the style and shape of the boots. A calf-length cowboy boot with a pointed toe is a classic style. But nowadays you can find ladies' cowboy boots in shorter lengths or with rounded or square toes. Be aware of that there are other materials than just cowhide, like quilled ostrich, caiman, crocodile, and snakeskin. Skinny jeans hug your leg and have little, if any, extra material. As a result, trying to stuff your boots under them will only make your legs look bulky and frumpy. Wear your cowboy boots over the jeans for best results. This look works especially well when the skinny jean and country boot are balanced out by a chic city jacket or blazer. This is another way to show your boots to the world. If you have a long shirt, sweater, skirt, or dress, you can wear leggings or tights under your boots to keep your legs covered during chillier weather.  Try wearing your boots with leggings and a tunic dress or cardigan, as well. You can also match them with bright tights and a dress or tunic for a unique look. The height of the classic cowboy boot mimics that of a normal pair of heels, and the front looks like the front of a casual yet chic closed-toe heel. Try this look out by wearing the jeans over the boot.  When wearing jeans or other pants over your cowboy boots, it's best to go with a boot-cut or flared style. You should also opt for longer jeans that will cover almost all of the boot to the toe. The heel will add one or two inches to your inseam. Loose-flowing, airy dresses can create an interesting contrast with the structured, rugged look of a cowboy boot. Pick a dress that stops at or slightly above the knee to show off more of the boots.  You can also...

Crabbers who use a crab pot tend to have a dip net (or scrap net) for scooping errant crabs, thick crabbing gloves, a crab pot, a culling stick (to help remove the crabs from the net), and a container for storing the caught crabs.  The crab pot is a large square trap that is made out of wire (typically some sort of chicken wire). There are entrances (called "throats") where the crabs enter the trap to get the bait, which is constructed so they can't access it. The crabs then get trapped in the pot and you draw the pot back up to the surface with your new bounty. Depending on the area you're in you 'll have to figure whether you need a lightweight pot or a heavier one. For example: in the Puget Sound area, most areas support lightweight crab pots just fine, but a few areas, because of tidal currents and strong wave action, require heavier pots. If you're sport fishing, you typically don't want to use the commercial crab pots which are typically 75-150 lbs. (the pots sportsmen use tend to be 10 to 20 lbs. The culling stick helps to remove the crabs from the net or pot. You can make one yourself by cutting a 5 inch (12.7 cm) notch in a piece of wood. For the storage container, it is good to use a wooden bushel basket, but you can also use a cooler to store them. Mostly you just want to make sure that you keep the crabs alive until it is time to eat them and storing them in the appropriate container with ice. Leave the ice in the bag in the container and put the crabs on top of it. This will make them easier to handle when the time comes to cook them. There are tons of different kinds of bait that professional and sport crabbers use. You'll have to experiment to see what works best for you, but chicken necks are a popular one, because they are scrap meat and crabs do seem to love them.  You can use frozen fish, because it typically decomposes faster than fresh fish, which better attracts crabs. While crabs will eat basically any uncooked meat, you could also try some of the types commercial crabbers swear by: eel...

Crack 1 egg into a shallow bowl or dish. Add ¼ teaspoon (1.5 g) of salt and ground black pepper to taste. Whisk or beat the egg with a fork until it's combined with the seasonings. Set the mixture aside. Pour ¾ cup (70 g) of fine dry bread crumbs into another shallow bowl or dish. Stir in 1 tablespoon (3 g) of chopped fresh sage. Place the dish next to the dish with the seasoned egg mixture. If you prefer rosemary, thyme, or your favorite seasoning, you can substitute it for the fresh sage. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on your work surface. Place four 5-ounce (141 g) veal rib chops in a single layer on the plastic. Lay another piece of plastic wrap over the ribs. Take a rolling pin and pound the chops until they're all about 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) thick. If you don't want to pound the chops, you'll just need to add another minute of cooking to each side of the chop. Take 1 veal chop and cover it in the beaten egg mixture. Lift the chop up and let the excess egg drip off it. Lay the chop in the breadcrumb mixture and turn it over to coat the other side. Shake the chop so excess breadcrumbs fall back into the dish. Repeat this for each chop. Melt 5 tablespoons (70 g) of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Lay the breaded chops in the butter and cook them until they're golden brown on the bottom. This should take 4 minutes. Avoid turning or moving the chops while they sauté.  The skillet should be at least 12-inches (30 cm) wide. For an Italian version of breaded veal chops, use olive oil to sauté the chops instead of butter. Use tongs to flip the veal chops over. Cook them until they're golden on the other side. This should take 3 minutes. Insert a meat thermometer horizontally into the center of the thickest veal chop. For a medium-rare chop, cook it until it reaches 130 °F (54 °C). For a well-done chop, cook it until it reaches 160 °F (71 °C). If they're not finished cooking, sauté them for 2 more minutes and check the temperature again.

Separate the eggs into 2 separate bowls.


Crack open an egg and hold it over a cup. Pass the yolk back and forth between the two shells. Catch the whites in the cup.  You can make two eggs if you are really hungry! Ask an adult to help you with this step. Leave the yolk in its shell or hold it gently in your hand. You can also put it into a small dish. Add 1 drop of green food coloring to the yolk. Gently spread it across the entire yolk. Don't press too hard, or you will break the yolk. If you are having trouble with this, stir 1 drop of green food coloring into the whites instead. You'll have reverse green eggs and ham. Set the yolk aside when you are done. If you don't do this, some of the green may get into the whites and ruin the effect. In the book, only the yolks were green. The whites were still white. Skip this step if you added the food coloring to the whites. Place a pan on the stove. Add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil or butter. Turn the heat up to medium-low and wait for it to get hot. Tilt the pan around so that the entire surface is coated with melted butter or oil.  You are ready for the next step when the butter melts or the oil starts to sizzle. Ask an adult to help you for this. Pour the whites into the saucepan. Cook them until they start to turn white. Once the egg whites turn white, gently place the yolk on top. Wait a few minutes, then cover the pan with a lid. Let the egg cook for 1 to 2 more minutes before checking on it. You want the whites to be set. The yolk can be as soft or as hard as you want it to be. Once the egg is done, slide a spatula under it. Lift the spatula up and transfer the egg to a plate. Covering the pan with a lid will help the egg cook faster. Place a drop of food coloring on a slice of ham. Spread it around with your finger or a basting brush. Flip it over, and coat the back too. Pat any excess dye off with a paper towel. If you want to cook the ham, use Canadian bacon. You can eat the ham cold, but it will taste much better if it is warm!

Crackle painting works on many different surfaces and materials, such as ceramic and canvas. However, it typically looks most realistic on wooden pieces that naturally weather over time. Consider crackle painting an old rocking chair, a decorative crate, or a piece of wall art. If you choose to paint a wooden object, get sandpaper that is 150-grit or finer from a hardware or home improvement store. Rub the sandpaper against the item’s surface to make it smoother for painting. Before painting, you’ll want to make sure your object is clean and free of any dirt. This is especially important for wooden pieces, since you’ll also need to get rid of any lingering sanding dust. Run warm water over a clean cloth for a few seconds and wring out the water. Wipe the entire surface of your item clean. Wait until the item is completely dry to the touch and then get out some paint primer and a paintbrush. Brush one coat of primer onto the item’s surface and allow it to dry fully. This should take somewhere between 1 and 3 hours. Any generic paint primer should work fine, but consider getting a wood primer if your object is wooden so that any cracks in the wood are properly filled in.

Craft or office supply stores sell paper that has adhesive on one side. It's usually lined with a paper backing that you can peel off when you're ready to use the sticker.  Alternately, you can buy tacky sticker sheets. These sheets allow you to place a picture to the glue, then peel the sticker off, transferring the glue to the back of the sticker. This is great if you want to use sticker sheets with pictures you already have or those cut from magazines.  Buy paper that fits the specifications of your printer. If you don't have a printer, you can still use sticker paper by drawing your own designs on the surface of the paper or cutting out pictures from magazines and books.

Craft sticks are sturdier, but wires allow more flexibility in the stem and the leaves.  If you are creating a heavier rose, such as in method two, you might want to opt for the craft stick. But if your rose is smaller with fewer petals, such as the “simple rose,” then the wire will do just fine. If you are using a craft stick, use the longest craft stick you can find. Or, tape two together. Put two sticks next to each other with about 2 cm (0.787 inches) overlapping. Then, put a small piece of duct tape less than two inches (5.08 cm) over it to secure it. You can cover the seam later. To make it look more natural, cut one of the craft sticks to about 2 inches. Then, overlap them and tape them together in the method previously mentioned. So, if your wire is 10 inches, rip off at least that much. Placing the upper left corner of the tape at a diagonal wrap the duct tape around the wire.The seams should be diagonal as you wrap them around the stem. Use the same method for the craft stick. Rip off enough duct tape to cover your stem and wrap it. Fold it over on itself. Then, cut a leaf shape. The shape should be an oval shape with a point at the top and the bottom, which is a  typical leaf form. If you need assistance, use a template online. When you do this, the sides of the leaf should curl and the point should fold over on itself. With a small piece of tape about an inch (2.54 cm) long and a centimeter (0.393 cm) wide, wrap tape vertically around the base of the leaf so that it remains curved like when you pinched it. This effect makes the leaf look more real. Cut four more leaf shapes and fasten their bottoms with thin strips of duct tape as previously mentioned. Place a leaf with the folded part facing the stem of the rose against the wrapped wire or stick. Then wrap a skinny piece of tape about an inch (2.54 cm) long and a centimeter (0.393 cm) wide along the stem to secure it.

Cramming for tests is never a good idea; instead, set a daily routine for yourself that includes doing homework on time and reviewing material from class. This time should be quiet, focused, and uninterrupted. If you don't know where to begin, ask your teacher to help. Some subjects and topics can be particularly difficult. Find out if your school has a tutoring program and sign up for some sessions. Alternatively, you can ask your teacher, guidance counselor or another student to recommend a tutor for the subject you're struggling with. Unfortunately, we don't take tests in a vacuum, and life circumstances can often affect our ability to perform our best in school.

Cramps are defined as acute pain for a short period of time; they might appear in both normal and pathological situations. They do not appear in all pregnancies but many of pregnant women experience them. Cramps that occur in pregnancy are often linked with:  Nutrient deficiency, specifically calcium, potassium and magnesium.  These essential minerals help your muscles, bones, and nerves to function properly.  If you do not have enough of these nutrients, your muscles may cramp up. Prolonged standing. When you stand still for a long time, blood can pool in your lower extremities, causing cramps. Dehydration can also cause cramps. Insufficient amounts of water in the body will result in muscle tightening and painful spasms in order to compensate for the amount of fluid loss. It is very important to keep in mind that any abdominal cramp during pregnancy must be discussed with your obstetrician or gynecologist, especially if it appears in the late stages of the pregnancy.  If you experience an acute, severe pain in your abdomen with possible extension to your groin area, accompanied by weakness, pale skin and a generally altered state you must immediately call the Emergency Services or go to the nearest Emergency Center because you might be having a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. It is also important to seek immediate medical attention if the cramping is accompanied by any vaginal bleeding.

Cranberries are a well-known treatment for UTIs that make it harder for bacteria to thrive. Cranberries both make urine more acidic and introduce a chemical from a class called proanthocyanidins, that makes it harder for bacteria to stick to the bladder and urethra's cells. Although many people use cranberries it to treat UTIs, studies suggest that cranberries are better for prevention than treatment.  Drink 300–600 millilitres (1.3–2.5  c) of cranberry juice daily. The study in question studied Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice cocktail, specifically.  Take cranberry capsules (400 mg twice per day) if you don't like the juice. Lingonberry is a berry in the same family as cranberry. One study suggests that drinking cranberry-lingonberry concentrate reduces the risk of UTIs in women and girls. The subjects in this study drank 7.5 g of cranberry and 1.7 g of lingonberry concentrates mixed in 50 millilitres (0.21  c) of water daily. Uva Ursi (Bearberry) might not be available in your grocery store, but you can find it easily and cheaply online. Though uncommon in general American usage, Native American and European medicine have used it for centuries. Take 250-500 mg of powdered bearberry 3 times per day.  This might give your urine a greenish-brown tint, but this is not harmful. Bearberry acts as a diuretic (rids the body of salt and water), so ask your doctor about using it if you're on other medications. In theory, brewer's yeast “crowds out” the bacteria that cause UTIs, but as of now, there are no reliable clinical trials proving it can treat a UTI. Furthermore, brewer's yeast can interact badly with certain types of medications, so talk to your doctor before considering brewer's yeast. Despite the lack of scientific studies, many people take 3g of brewer's yeast twice per day to treat a UTI.  Consult a doctor before taking brewer's yeast if you're on other medications. It should NOT be taken with a class of medications called MAOIs.  MAOIs include the drugs: Selegiline, Phenelzine, Tranylcypromine, Rasagiline,...

Drink cranberry juice or extract. Combine cranberry with lingonberry in your diet. Take bearberry powder. Take brewer's yeast. Take 1 teaspoon (about 2 g) of D-mannose twice per day. Drink teas and extracts that are proven to treat UTIs.


Cranberry is a natural diuretic, meaning it will help your body flush itself of water and sodium, though not at the rate that Midol might. Although there is some doubt about cranberry's effectiveness for regular drug users, it really can't hurt if you use it responsibly and in combination with other methods. Many drug users report successfully passing an EMIT test after taking zinc sulfate. The zinc is reputed to bond to the metabolites and guide them into the fecal tract instead of the urinary tract. Take about 250 mg of zinc sulfate the night before your test. Avoid eating too many solids. Then, the morning of your test, take the same dose of zinc sulfates. Do not take any more than this if you choose to use zinc. Over-medicating with zinc can lead to harmful mineral deficiencies and should be avoided. Some people choose to use Niacin, or vitamin B3, in the hopes that it will help them pass their drug test. Niacin has not been proven effective at masking drugs in the urinalysis. Moreover, it's possible to experience very adverse side-effects with over-medication. If you do choose to use Niacin to try to cover up drugs in your system, be careful. It's probably safer to try to use another product or method. This is a last resort, but if you can't try any of the above methods, you can try to spike the urinalysis. Bleach, detergent, or blood is rumored to be capable of throwing off the results of the test in order to buy you more time. If you have long fingernails, try hiding a small amount of bleached laundry detergent crystals underneath them. Then, when it comes time to take the test, add the detergent crystals to the pee sample and be sure to mix well. This may buy you enough time to take the test again another time when you're more prepared.

Drink cranberry juice or take cranberry supplements. Try experimenting with zinc. Be careful about niacin. When all else fails, spike it.


Crash diets usually involve severely restricting your caloric intake for a period of time, with the goal of losing a lot of weight quickly. Sometimes the 500 or 1000 calories-per-day are supplemented with juice "cleanses," diet pills, or diuretics. While the diet might seem to be working at first, most of this weight loss is due to water loss. Meanwhile, your body's metabolism is actually slowing down, burning fewer calories.  You won't be able to get a healthy nutritional balance for most crash diets. Crash diets also have a negative consequence on your mental health. Not getting enough calories is likely to make you irritable, tired, and lethargic. You're unlikely to feel more confident when you're not getting the daily nutrition you need. Skipping meals increases the amount of fat stored around the midsection, or belly fat. Eating smaller meals throughout the day, rather than skipping meals, is more likely to result in weight loss, according to clinical research.  Skipping one meals leads to being hungrier for later meals, and can result in eating more calories later in the day. This can set off a cycle of overeating, followed by fasting, that can lead to a host of health concerns. Going for extended periods of time without eating will send your body into survival mode: your body will turn to muscle mass for fuel in order to preserve its fat supplies. Clearly, this is the opposite of what you'd like as you prepare for bathing suit season! If you're trying to lose weight to gain confidence in your swimsuit, remember that both diet and exercise have a part to play. Each week, aim for at least 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes) of vigorous activity, or a combination of the two.  For teens, the amount of exercise recommended is about an hour per day. Choose exercise routines that you can sustain over time, which means doing activities that you like., finding the mix that works best for your body will lead to feelings of confidence,...

Crate training is an important aspect of training your Dachshund, especially when he is a puppy. Choose a crate that is large enough for comfortable movement, but not large enough for a separate bathroom space. An ideal crate size for Dachshunds is 24 by 30 inches (61 by 76 cm) or 24 by 36 inches (61 by 91 cm). Wire crates work well for Dachshunds, since they allow your Dachshund to see what’s going on around him. Dachshunds can get lonely, which could make crate training a challenge. Place your Dachshund’s crate in a room with a lot of human activity, such as the family room. Dachshunds crave companionship, so your Dachshund will enjoy being close to where you and your family spend your time. Ultimately, the crate should feel like a cozy safe haven for your Dachshund. Place comfortable bedding in the crate that already has his scent on it—this will make the crate feel like a familiar place. Put his other ‘creature comforts’ in the crate, such as his food and water bowls and puppy-safe toys.  Puppy-safe toys are available at your local pet store. The crate should be a place of safety and comfort, not punishment. Throughout the crate training process, which can take at least a few weeks, you will be teaching your Dachshund to remain in the crate for increasing periods of time. Initially, entice him with treats to enter the crate. Then you can start feeding him his meals in the crate.  Choose a 1-word command (e.g., ‘kennel’) to indicate when you want your Dachshund to enter the crate. Give him a treat whenever he enters the kennel so he can have a positive association with the crate. Your Dachshund may whine or cry when you leave him in his crate. Do not give him attention when he does this. If you do, he will learn that whining or crying is a good way to get attention. Do not crate your Dachshund all day and night. Not only will he not be able to hold his bladder for that long, constant crating will make him feel lonely and disconnected from you. Consider hiring a pet sitter to spend time with him during the day.

Crate training will keep your pug protected from household hazards, help with house training, and give him a place to retreat when he's overly excited. Picking the right crate size is important. If it’s too big, your pug will create a space to urinate and defecate; if it’s too small, he won’t be able to get comfortable in it. Your pug is little, so he won’t need a huge crate. An ideal crate size is 24 inches long x 18 inches wide x 21 inches high (61 cm x 46 cm x 53cm). Your pug’s crate should be a place of safety and comfort for him. Add some ‘creature comforts’ to the crate, including favorite toys and a comfortable blanket. Place a blanket on top of the crate so it feels like a cozy den to your pug. Put a  spill-proof water bowl in the crate to keep him from making a watery mess.  Food is a great way to lure your pug into the crate. If he’s hesitant to enter the crate, place some bits of food near the crate initially, then gradually put the food further inside the crate. Do the same with his food bowl when he’s ready for eating meals in the crate. Leave the crate door open at all times during this part of crate training. This will allow your pug to explore the crate at his leisure, without fear of you closing the door behind him. For crate training to be effective, your pug must learn to be comfortable in the crate when its door is closed. When your pug is eating a meal in the crate, close the door and open it as soon as he’s finished. Gradually, have your pug wait up to 10 minutes after a meal before you open the door. If he whines, wait until he quiets down before opening the door. You may need to leave your pug crated for hours at a time during the day, and maybe overnight. To get him used to this stretch of time, give your pug a verbal command (‘kennel up’ or ‘crate’) to enter the crate (not at meal time). Sit with him briefly, leave the room for few minutes, then return to the crate. Work up to leaving the room for 30 minutes.  It may take several repetitions before your pug learns the verbal command...

Cravings are often the body’s subliminal attempt to signal a person to eat substances and nutrients in which they are deficient. What does he or she particularly enjoy? Keep the foods they crave around the house and easily accessible. Some examples of calorie and protein dense foods are milk shakes, cheese, smoothies, pudding, chicken, eggs, lean red meat, fish, yogurt, ice cream, peanut butter, almond butter, whole grain toast, lentils, spinach and garlic. Examples of high-calorie and protein snacks include:  Half a cup of nuts and a fruit 2 graham crackers or a slice of whole grain bread with natural peanut or almond butter A mix of carrots, cherry tomatoes, cucumber or celery sticks with canola or olive oil based dressing Popcorn trail mix consisting of 1 cup of popcorn made with canola oil and missed with quarter cup of nuts and 2 tablespoons of raisins     Low-fat yogurt with 2-3 tablespoons chopped nuts 1 cup of whole grain cereal with skim milk Fruit smoothie consisting of 6 ounces of low fat vanilla yogurt, half a cup of skim milk, a cup of berries    A major symptom of chemotherapy is having a dry mouth (xerostomia). Aside from it being important to hydrate, constantly drinking healthy fluids combats this symptom, too.  Water, flavored water, coconut water, smoothies, liquid nutrition supplements, ice cream, sorbet, sherbet, pudding, fruit based popsicles, crushed ice, herbal teas, decaffeinated coffee and teas are all good examples of non-caffeinated beverages. Nutritional supplements such as Ensure and Boost are good as well. Most of taste is actually smell. If you surround the patient with foods that smell good, you may be able to spike their appetite. The scent could entice them to at least try the food, or entertain the notion of eating. What foods do they like? Mint, cinnamon, coconut, apple?

Crawfish tend to spend their time along the bottom of shallow rivers and brooks. The added weight will make the trap sink to the bottom so that crawfish are more likely to wander inside. Poke a small hole through the very bottom of the trap, then tie on a lead fishing weight with a small zip tie. You may need to experiment with the weight to make sure that the trap sinks all the way to the bottom – but 1-5 pounds should do the trick. Use the same weight size that you used on the bottom, or something slightly lighter. This will keep the trap balanced at the bottom of the stream. If only the bottom is weighted, the opening of the trap may get stuck in the mud. Unscrew the top cap, and drop the bait into the chamber. When you've set the bait, screw the top cap back on so that the crawfish cannot escape. Use fish to mimic the natural diet of the crawfish. Many Swedish fishermen use sunfish, shiners, and herring; Cajun fishermen traditionally use gizzard shad and pogies; West Coast fishermen often use salmon heads and other oily fish. If possible, use fish caught in the same body of water where you're trying to catch the crawfish. If you don't have access to any fish, you can use raw meat: a piece of uncooked bacon, chicken, or hot dog can do the trick. Do not expect this bait to be as effective as fish.

Crawl underneath the front of your vehicle so you’re below the radiator. Look for the drain plug (the white or black plastic wingnut) near the bottom corner or side of the radiator tank. Place a bucket underneath the drain plug so the coolant doesn’t spill when you drain the radiator. Unscrew the drain plug and let the coolant flow into the bucket until your radiator is empty. Screw the drain plug back onto the tank when you’re finished.  Vehicle coolant can be toxic, so keep it away from children or pets. Don’t drain the coolant unless your vehicle and engine are completely cool or else it could be extremely hot and cause burns. If your radiator doesn’t have a drain plug, use a screwdriver to loosen the clamp around the lower radiator hose before pulling it out of place. Then, drain the coolant from the lower hose into the bucket. The thick black hose runs from the side of your radiator and attaches to the top or side of your engine block with a tube clamp. Use a screwdriver to loosen the nut on the tube clamp and then pull the hose off of the engine. Set the end of the hose aside for now so you can access the thermostat housing on your engine. Place a shop cloth or rag in the end of the hose to prevent dirt or debris from getting inside it. The thermostat housing is the blocky metal piece connected to your engine block that the hose was attached to. Use a socket wrench to loosen the bolts holding the housing in place, and set them aside so you don’t lose them. Pull the housing off of the engine to expose the thermostat, which looks like a small metal cylinder with a spring and 2 metal rings around it. Grab the end of the thermostat and pull it out.  If it’s difficult to grab the thermostat by hand, use a pair of needle-nose pliers or a screwdriver to pry it out. The bolts for your thermostat housing may be different lengths. Make note of where each bolt went inside the housing so you can reattach it correctly later. Use a pot that’s deep enough to completely submerge the thermostat in water. Fill the pot...

Drain the coolant from the radiator. Disconnect the upper radiator hose from the engine. Remove the thermostat after disconnecting the thermostat housing from the engine. Submerge the thermostat in a pot of water so it doesn’t touch the bottom. Heat the water until it reaches about 195–220 °F (91–104 °C). Take the thermostat out of the pot to see if it’s opened.


Creams and ointments formulated for adolescent or adult use are far too harsh for a baby's sensitive skin. Using over-the-counter acne medication can irritate the skin, making the acne worse. It can also cause your baby's face to become excessively dry. Worst-case scenario, your baby's skin could become so dry that it begins to cause him or her pain. In most cases, over-the-counter creams will only irritate your baby's skin and should be avoided. In special cases, though, your doctor may recommend a mild 1 percent hydrocortisone cream or ionic colloidal silver solution.  Hydrocortisone cream treats the dry, itchy, and sometimes painful skin that results from severe cases of baby acne. By soothing the skin, the cream reduces the production of oil, ultimately leading the a clearer complexion. Note that hydrocortisone cream can hurt your baby if it gets into the eyes or mouth, though. Ionic colloidal silver solution is generally considered safer than hydrocortisone cream. It kills the bacteria that thrive in facial oil and soothes itchy skin. Only apply a small amount of either product to your baby's skin and use the product for a maximum amount of twice a day for two days. If the baby acne on your child's face appears to cause pain or discomfort, or if it lasts past a couple of months, your doctor may prescribe a gentle prescription acne cream to help clear the baby's skin.  The cream is almost always a retinoid cream. Retinoids are a type of chemical compound that regulate the growth of skin tissue. Common retinoid creams used to treat baby acne include adapalene, tazarotene, and tretinoin. Apply the medicated cream as directed. Typically, the cream is applied topically by smoothing it over the affected area once a day, roughly 20 to 30 minutes after you wash your baby. Some conditions may masquerade as baby acne when, in actuality, they are something else entirely.  If your baby is older than four to six months, the bumps on your baby's skin are less likely to be acne. Eczema is the next most common skin...

Create a 5-year business plan, including operational plans (such as financial and marketing) and educational plans (such as educational focus, curriculum, implementation and assessment). The plan should also detail planned accomplishments such as expanding the campus or offering new grades.  Whether your school is nonprofit or for-profit, a business plan will help by setting the school on a successful path. A sound business plan will also inspire confidence—and generosity—in your potential financial donors. for the school. When setting up a budget, plan for a variety of expenses, including: leasing a facility, legal licenses and permits from the state educational board; hiring faculty members, staff, and a business consultant; and marketing and promoting the school. Reach out to other private schools in the community and ask to review their budget. This will give you an idea of a private school’s annual costs.  Your committee accountant or financial specialist should help with the budget. If you don’t have a financial specialist on your committee, seek expert financial advice. Starting a private school from scratch is an expensive undertaking. On average, starting a private school in the U.S. costs $1,000,000. The same undertaking in the U.K. costs, on average, £930,000. If you are operating as a non-profit, solicit contributions by asking for donations from foundations, applying for grants and establishing donations from private donors. If you’re operating for-profit, student tuition will provide the majority of the income. Set a tuition rate that will cover the school’s expenses without being prohibitively steep. When soliciting funds from financial partners, show potential investors your business plan. This will clarify to them that you know what you’re doing and that your private school is worth serious investment. as a business. Most private schools incorporate and apply for tax-exempt status.

Create a custom block for a series of two or more operations that you repeat several times throughout your program. For example, if you want your robot to move forward for three seconds and then flash a red light, include these instructions in a custom block so that you can access them quickly and easily each time you need to include them in the program. Include them in your program just as you normally would. Hold down Shift and click on each operation. Once they're all selected, click the equals sign in the top toolbar right next to the comments tool. This will bring up a window called "My Block Builder." You can also go to Edit → Make a New My Block to open the custom block builder. If you have any data wires coming into or out of the blocks you selected for your custom block, these will appear as ports for your block, and you can connect them to variables or other data when you use your block in a program. The name should be short but descriptive so that you remember exactly what the block does. The description should be clear and detailed, and include important notes like, for instance, what direction your robot needs to be facing or what needs to be plugged into Port A for your block to work properly. Drag any icons you want into your block's icon at the top. When you're finished creating your icon, click Finish. In your program, the steps corresponding to your block will be replaced by the block you just created. You can even combine multiple custom blocks into another one to make your programming even easier. Be creative -- custom blocks can be incredibly useful if you take advantage of them.

Create a deep side part, then Dutch braid your hair starting from the thicker side of the part. Work your way across your forehead, down the side of your head, and across your nape. Continue to work up the other side of your head until you reach the part again. Finish off with a regular braid, then coil it around the inside of the crown.  Use a hair tie to secure the end of your braid, and bobby pins to keep it in place. A Dutch braid is similar to a French braid, except that you cross the strands under the middle strand. Instead of doing a Dutch braid, try a rope braid instead! Create a deep side part. Gather some braids from the thicker side of the part, divide them in half, then twist them together. Add a few strands from your hairline to the bottom section and twist again. Keep going until you reach your ear, then finish with a regular rope braid.

Create a deep side part, then gather 2 thin strands of hair from the thicker side of the part. Twist the bottom strand over the top strand. Add a thin strand of hair to the new bottom strand, then twist the strands together again. Keep going until you reach your ear, then secure the braid with a bobby pin.  The thin strands should be between the thickness of a pencil and your finger. You can also do this style using a French or Dutch braid. Create loose waves using a medium-sized curling iron. Gather some hair from each temple, and pull it towards the back of your head. Secure the sections of hair with bobby pins.  You can create this style using a center part or a side part. If you are doing a side part, consider pinning back the hair from just the thinner side of the part. Create a deep side part, then pin the hair from the thinner side of the part back behind your head, close to the nape. Gather all of your hair behind your head; spread it vertically between both hands rather than holding it in a fist like a ponytail. Coil the ends of your hair inwards to form a French twist. Secure the French twist with bobby pins.  If your hair is straight, fine, or smooth, add some texturizing spray to it first to make it easier to work with. You will need at least 1 bobby pin on the top and bottom of the French twist. Use more bobby pins wherever you feel a strand coming loose. Use a boar bristle hairbrush to smooth down any stray strands on the sides of your head. Messy buns and ponies are all the rage, and are easiest to create with bob-length hair. Simply pull your hair up into a high ponytail, then secure it with a hair tie. The shorter strands of your hair will naturally slip out of the hair tie and frame your face, creating a chic, messy look. If you prefer a bun, wrap the hair tie 2 to 3 times around your ponytail.

Create a sleep schedule where you wake up and go to sleep at the same time everyday, even on weekends or days off. Sleep requirements vary from person to person, but on average, you should be getting between seven to nine hours of sleep to function at your best during your waking hours.  Some people think getting just one less hour of sleep won't affect their daily functioning or that they can make up for lack of sleep on the weekend or a day off. But any changes or shifts to your regular sleep schedule will only have a negative effect on your sleeping habits and lead to lots of yawning when you are awake.  It's a myth that your body adjusts quickly to different sleep schedule. While most people can reset their biological clock, this can only be done by timed cues, and even then, only by one to two hours per day at best. It can take more than a week for your body's internal clock to adjust to traveling across several time zones or to switching to the night shift. Extra sleep at night cannot cure you of your daytime fatigue. The quantity of sleep you get every night is important, but the quality of your sleep is more important. You may get eight or nine hours of sleep a night but won't feel well rested if the quality of your sleep was poor. Shut off your television, smartphone, iPad, and computer or keep all electronics out of your bedroom completely. The type of light these screens emit can stimulate your brain, suppress the production of melatonin (which helps you sleep), and interfere with your body's internal clock. Another option is to shut down your computer on a schedule. This will automatically sleep your machine and prevent you from working on your computer too late or too close to your bedtime. There are sleep features on both PCs and Macs that you can activate. As well, if you want your computer to be ready to go in the morning, once you wake up, you can schedule a startup time too. If you tend to get wrapped up in evening activities or conversations and forget to stick to your sleep schedule, you...

Stick to a regular sleep schedule. Turn off all electronics and distractions a few hours before bed. Set an alarm to remind you it's time for bed. Do a relaxing activity before bed. Keep your bedroom dark, cool, and quiet. Try to wake up with the sun. Avoid napping after 3 pm. Keep a sleep journal. Take sleeping pills only when necessary. Be wary of over-the-counter medications that can lead to insomnia and sleep issues.

Some people think getting just one less hour of sleep won't affect their daily functioning or that they can make up for lack of sleep on the weekend or a day off. But any changes or shifts to your regular sleep schedule will only have a negative effect on your sleeping habits and lead to oversleeping or being overly tired when you wake up.  Keep in mind extra sleep at night cannot cure you of your daytime fatigue. The quantity of sleep you get every night is important, but the quality of your sleep is more important. You may get eight or nine hours of sleep a night but you will not feel well rested if the quality of your sleep was poor. Rather than set your alarm to one hour earlier and hope that you will avoid the snooze button, shift your wake time in increments over a period of time. This will help your body adjust to a new sleep schedule and ensure that your sleep habits adapt long term to your new wake up time. Start with adjusting your alarm so it is set five minutes earlier than usual. Go to bed five minutes earlier than normal and try to wake up with your alarm. Do this for several days to a week and then push back your wake up time by five more minutes. Try to wake up for several days to a week with the new wake up time. Repeat this process until you reach the wake up time you desire. About half the caffeine you consume at 7 pm is still in your body at 11 pm. A known stimulant, caffeine can be found in coffee, chocolate, soft drinks, non-herbal teas, diet drugs, and some pain relievers. Limit how many cups of coffee you have several hours before bed, or try to eliminate caffeine in your diet all together. Alcohol also prevents deep sleep and REM sleep. It will keep you in the lighter stages of sleep, causing you to...

Maintain a regular sleep schedule. Shift your wake up time gradually. Avoid consuming caffeine four to six hours before your bedtime. Turn off all electronics and distractions a few hours before bed. Set an alarm to remind you it's time for bed. Do a relaxing activity before bed. Put your clothes out for the next day right before bed. Keep your bedroom dark, cool, and quiet. Wake up with the sun.


Create a sleep schedule where you wake up and go to sleep at the same time everyday, even on weekends or days off. Sleep requirements vary from person to person, but on average, you should be getting between seven to nine hours of sleep to function at your best during your waking hours. However, some people need as much as ten.  Teenagers generally need more sleep than older adults. Young bodies need a lot of rest while growing during adolescence. Some people require more sleep than others. A very few people thrive on as little as six hours a night, while others require ten to be truly rested. Respect these differences; a person needed more sleep is not lazy or bad. Some people think getting just one less hour of sleep will not greatly affect their daily functioning. Another belief is that sleep can be made up on the weekend or a day off. And once in a while is probably fine. But if this happens a lot, your regular sleep schedule will suffer, leading to oversleeping or being overly tired when you wake up.  It is a myth that the human body adjusts quickly to different sleep schedule.

Create a solution out of essential oils. Add the liquid to your neti pot. Bend forward over a sink, turning your head to one side. Slowly pour the solution into your top nostril while your head is still tilted. Be sure to breathe through your mouth while doing this. The solution will drain from your other nostril. Repeat with the other nostril. To create a solution, combine an equal number of drops of your chosen oils, no more than 9 or 10 drops total. In a separate bowl, add 1 and ½ cups of very warm (but not so hot that you scald the delicate nasal tissues) distilled water with 6 tablespoons of finely ground unprocessed sea salt and stir to dissolve. Make sure to use distilled water or you could risk infection.Add the essential oils and mix thoroughly. While there are many different kinds of diffusers, all work by dispersing essential oils into the air where you can then breathe them in. Follow the instructions on your diffuser's package. Choose your oils or make your own unique blend. Most use about ½ cup of water with 3-5 drops of essential oils. Anyone with a sinus infection should sit as close as possible to the diffuser and breathe deeply. This method can be very useful, especially if more than one member of your family has a sinus infection. Boil distilled or tap water and pour 2 inches of the boiling water into the bottom of a heatproof bowl. Add 8 to 10 drops of essential oils and stir. A variation of this method is to use cooking herbs instead of the essential oils: use 2 teaspoons of oregano and 2 teaspoons of basil. Cover the back of your head with a towel, lean over the bowl, and breathe in the steam through your nose and mouth. Do this as long as the steam is rising. Once the water has cooled, you can repeat it as much as you like by simply reheating the water. The same solution can be used over and over, until all the water is gone. Add 12 to 15 drops of one or a combination of the oils to your bathwater. Make the water as hot as you can comfortably manage and soak in the tub for as long as you like.

Irrigate your sinuses using a neti pot. Use a diffuser to fill the room with scent. Inhale the essential oils for an easy option. Bathe in the essential oils for a relaxing soak.


Create a timeline of tasks for the employee, and set specific goals for them to reach by a certain time. This helps give your remote employees some direction and encourages them to become productive more quickly. For example, you might say, “We want you to learn how to use our calling software by the end of the first week. By the end of the first month, you should be making at least $10,000 in sales.” Give constructive feedback on each task for the first 2-3 weeks or until they have mastered the different parts of their job. This type of feedback can help employees learn the guidelines and expectations for the type of work they are doing.  For example, you might say, “Your design on these images is really good, but I think you need to stick with 1 color scheme to fit our company’s brand better. We prefer smaller font too.” The employee's first task should be something small with a quick deadline. For example, you might ask for a short article or a spreadsheet by the end of the first day. This will let you give them feedback quickly. Encourage the employee to come to you with any questions that they might have. When training is over, ask them for honest feedback about the process. This can help you clarify the process for future remote employees.  If the employee comes to you with a question, answer the question as best as you can. If you feel as though the answer could be found in the training manual, refer the employee to the specific section. If the new employee doesn't reach out to you with any questions, you might send a friendly message saying something like, "I just want to check in. How is training going? Do you have any questions?" If you want, keep feedback anonymous so that the employee feels as though they can be honest. Use an online survey website to set up a feedback form. Both during and after training, stay in touch with your remote employees. Let them know what news is going on in the company. Newsletters, webinars, or even weekly video conference calls can keep them in the loop. Remote...

Create cardboard inserts for your socks, just like you would for puffy paint soles. Squeeze out lines of hot glue across the bottom of your socks, or make dots instead. Wait a few minutes for the glue to dry, then remove the cardboard inserts.  Hot glue dries rigid, so this method will work the best on thicker socks. If you use it on thinner socks, make the hot glue dots/lines thin. Make the lines horizontal so that they go from side-to-side. They can be straight or squiggly. If you made dots, arrange them in a grid-like pattern. Do not coat the entire bottom of the sock with a solid layer of hot glue. It won't be comfortable to walk on at all. Cut 1 circle and 1 oval out of suede. Use a leather hole puncher to make holes around the perimeter of each shape, about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) apart. Use a darning needle to hand-sew the circle to the heel of your sock, and the oval to the toe. Repeat this step for the second sock.  This will work the best on crochet or knit socks and slippers, but you can try it on store-bought socks in a pinch. Use the same yarn to sew the shapes on that you used to make your socks. If you used thick yarn, choose a thinner yarn in the same color instead. You can do this with shelf liner too. Don't use fake suede or fake leather; they are too slippery. Create cardboard inserts for your socks, just like with puffy paint soles. Apply a swirl of silicone sealer to the underside of each sock. Use your hand or a craft stick to spread the sealer into a thin, even layer. Wait 24 hours before removing the cardboard and wearing the socks.  This method will make the socks stiff. It is recommended for handmade socks or slippers rather than thin, store-bought ones. If you are using your hand, it would be best to wear vinyl gloves. Silicone sealer comes in white and clear. You can also use a brush-on rug backing or rubber compound (i.e.: Plasti-Dip).

Draw lines or dots with hot glue if you are in a hurry. Sew suede circles to the heels and toes if you have more time. Use silicone sealer if you want the socks to be waterproof. Finished.


Create rows and columns in the spreadsheet to display the year and the investment's value that year. Once you have the data entered, create a row where you will enter the formula for the CAGR. Once you enter the formula, Excel will perform the calculations for you.  Using the above example, in cell A1, you would enter the word “YEAR.” Then, in cell B1, you would enter the year 2012. Then you would enter the years 2013, 2014 and 2015 in cells C1, D1 and E1. In cell A2, you would enter the word “VALUE.” Then in cells B2, C2, D2 and E2, you would enter $10,000, $14,000, $15,000 and $19,500. In cell A3, you would enter the letter “n,” where n equals the year count.  In cell C3, under the information for 2013, you would enter the number 1. Then enter the number 2 in cell D3 and the number 3 in cell E3. In cell E4, enter the formula ((E2/B2)^(1/E3))-1. Cell E2 is the ending value, $19,500.  Cell B2 is the beginning value, $10,000. Cell E3 is the number of years in the time period, 3. The calculated CAGR for the time period is 24.93 percent. Instead of entering the formula used above, you can use the POWER function to calculate the CAGR. It will result in the same answer, but some Excel users prefer to use functions instead of entering manual formulas. In cell E4, enter the formula POWER(E2/B2,1/E3)-1. The POWER function returns the result of the ending value divided by the beginning value, raised to the power of 1 divided by the number of years. The answer is the same, 24.93 percent. The RATE function returns the interest rate over the time period in question. This function looks a bit complicated. But once you understand the elements, then you can quickly create this function on the spreadsheet. Some people like this method because it expresses the result as a percentage instead of as a decimal.  The first element in the function is nper, which is the number of years, which is in cell E3. The next element of the function is pmt. This would be the payment made each period on a loan or annuity, but we don’t need...

Create the section at your crown with the tail end of a rat tail comb. Pull the section straight up away from your head and hold it taut to get the best results. While teasing the crown is the most common method, you may want a bolder look for a Halloween costume or to get an 80’s hairstyle. If you’re going for a more extreme look, section all of your hair, not just the hair at your crown.

Created in 1932, the Purple Heart Medal is an award given to military personnel who are injured or killed during active combat. Though these medals are typically awarded in the President’s name only, Donald Trump has given a number of them out in person, typically while visiting military bases or memorial sites. The Medal of Honor is the highest award you can earn in the United States military and is given to soldiers who go well beyond the call of duty. So far, the President has always given the award in person. Some previous recipients earned the medal by:  Rescuing civilian hostages. Serving as a human shield. Risking life and limb to save fellow soldiers. Providing medical aid while under enemy fire. The Presidential Citizens Medal and Presidential Medal of Freedom are the highest awards attainable by United States citizens not serving in the military. The President gives these awards out personally and, though Donald Trump has not yet awarded any, past Presidents acknowledged citizens for excellence in fields like:   The arts, including architecture, dance, film, theater, literature, music, photography, and painting. Business leadership, management, and communication. Legal work, including service as an attorney or judge. Research related to science, education, medicine, history, and philosophy. Political activism, diplomacy, environmentalism, and humanitarianism.

Creating a good economy takes practice, and is a must for any civilization. Much of the information on making your economy boom should be applied while you are playing as the Goths. The barracks doesn't need to be placed anywhere strategic, as you will be building many more. The creation of militia during the research and during the Feudal Age should be avoided due to the high costs. Infantry become much cheaper during the Castle and Imperial Ages.

Creating a plan for each day can help to keep your mind off of negative thoughts and instead focused on the future and what's next. When your days are filled with positive things that take up your time, you will have less time to dwell on your condition and feel depressed. Planning techniques that you can implement include:  Creating a timetable for eating and sleeping. The health of your mind in part depends on the health of your body, which can be difficult to maintain while battling a chronic illness. Eat regularly (at least three meals a day) and getting at least seven hours of sleep nightly helps your brain stay focused, be creative, and problem solve. Studies have shown that sleep deficiency can alter brain function and has been linked with depression and suicide. Keeping to an eating and sleeping schedule can aid in making sure your basic bodily needs are met and thereby boost your mental health.  Choose small tasks to do each day that you can work through easily and will help you to feel accomplished. This might be something like cleaning out a desk drawer, calling up an old friend, or getting your insurance plan updated. Break down large tasks, light house cleaning, into smaller ones to accommodate your physical needs while still providing you with a sense of goal completion. Try to avoid large gaps of unplanned time that can turn into moments or hours of negative thoughts and rumination. Always schedule time for something you enjoy, whether that be reading a few pages of a book, baking, or some light exercise. Incorporating down-time into your schedule can help remind you of the simple pleasures of life and restore your morale and contentment. Your physical and mental health are linked in many ways. When you sit around, listless and without anything to do, you are much more likely to feel depressed. By contrast, exercise is a very important method to combat depression. When you are active, your body releases the "happy hormones" –  endorphins  and dopamine – that make you feel happier and boost your...

Creating a plan is useless if you don’t follow it. Keep your day planner with you at all times. Anytime a new task presents itself, jot it down in your planner. Make it a habit of regularly checking your planner for deadlines, appointments, and other tasks. Before long, this will be a natural part of your daily routine. Doing the same tasks each night before bed will help you stay organized the following day. As an added benefit, a consistent routine can help you to fall asleep! Give yourself 15 minutes to complete a few tasks before bed.  Choose your clothes for the next day. Check the weather forecast and select appropriate items. Arrange the things that you will be using the next day (watch, bag, shoes, socks, makeup, books, accessories, etc.). Pack your lunch. Look at your planner and see what you need to do the next day. Add any necessary items to your “to-do” list. In addition to checking in with your planner each day, make it part of your routine to sit down before the start of your week (for many people, this will be Sunday) and formulate a plan for the week ahead.  Just like before, pencil in any non-negotiable tasks first. Then work to schedule all other in the time you have available. Look for any deadlines, meetings, or other appointments. Despite your meticulously organized schedule, things will not always go according to plan. Meetings can run longer than scheduled, traffic can be worse than you thought, or your kids can get sick. The important thing is to try to be flexible when this happens, and come up with creative solutions.  Keep healthy snacks (such as raw almonds) in your bag or desk at work in case you have to skip lunch. Keep a notebook (or tablet computer) with you so that you can get a little work done while you wait somewhere. Find out if there is the possibility of working from home, or video conferencing into a meeting, if you cannot be there in person.
