Q: (See picture.)
A: Lay paper on a flat surface, with the acute angle pointing forward and left. Place the wooden dowel on the paper with the guide line along the right hand side of the paper, about 1/2" from the bottom. Roll the paper tightly around the dowel.

Q: Draw the corners or vertices of the square along the diagonal lines. Draw the vertices along the lines of the cross-section. You may add drawings for spiders.
A: Draw a circle and draw a cross section which also extends outside the circle. Draw two diagonal lines at the midpoint of the cross-sections which form an X-mark. Draw squares which descend in size as it nears the centre point. Draw diamond shapes descending in size as it nears the centre point. Draw curves to connect the lines from the squares to the diamonds, much like forming bridges. Trace with a pen and erase unnecessary lines. Color to your liking!

Q: When your mind is cloudy and your body's out of shape, it can be a lot harder to get through tough times and reach your goals. Taking daily measures to stay healthy will go a long way toward helping you persevere. Here are a few things to keep in mind: Eat a wholesome diet. Make sure you're getting plenty of nutritious, in-season vegetables and fruits. Eat whole grains, meat, and healthy fats. Try not to eat too many processed foods. Get plenty of sleep. A full night's sleep can make the difference between having a bad day and a great one. Get 7 to 8 hours nightly whenever possible. Move your body. Whether you like walking, yoga, running, biking, swimming, or another activity, move around as much as you can. Exercise puts you in a good mood and keeps you in shape for whatever life may throw at you. Trying a regimen of exercising for 30 minutes daily is a great place to start. Surround yourself with people who know you and will support you as you work to meet your goals. Support other people, too, so you're an integral part of your community. Be someone others can turn to, and don't be shy to turn to them when you need help. Be a dependable son, daughter, sibling, parent, and friend. Having close ties with family and friends will see you through the darkest times. Get involved in the community where you live. Volunteering, taking classes, going to town hall meetings, and cheering on your local teams are all great ways to feel like you're part of something bigger. Instead of just getting by minute to minute, day to day, take a longer view. Know that each trial will eventually pass, and do your best to get through it with grace and strength, so that you can be proud of how you performed later on, when you're looking back. Understand that while your problems matter, they don't matter more than other people's. Gain a sense of how large the world is, and engage with it as much as you can. Reading books and articles and following the news can help you stay connected and aware, and put things in perspective. Try to avoid negative news and social media. Get out of your head and try to see things through other people's eyes sometimes. Take your niece out for ice cream, or visit your elderly aunt in the nursing home. Many people find that honing a sense of being part of something bigger is comforting and energizing. Having a spiritual life can help you find your purpose again when you don't know where to turn. If you're religious, attend services regularly. If you pray, do it often. Practice meditation and other forms of spiritual awareness. Spend time in natural places, and let yourself experience the wonder of forests, oceans, rivers and open sky. You'll persevere if you continue aligning your actions with your values. When something about your life begins to feel wrong, make a change. Continue correcting your course until you meet your goal.
A: Keep your mind and body healthy. Be part of a community. Keep things in perspective. Nourish your spirituality. Stay true to who you are.

Q: Fleas and their eggs can easily hide in the grass and in areas of your yard where debris (e.g. leaves, etc.) has built up. To prevent fleas from being able to make a long-term home in these areas, keep your yard clean and your grass cut short. This is especially important in the areas of your yard where you dog hangs out the most. Diatomaceous earth (DE) is a calcium dust that's ground from single-cell ocean organisms. Only use DE that's been certified as "food grade." You can mix some DE in water (in a watering can if you have one) and sprinkle the mixture on your grass, sidewalks, decks, paving stones, and even in your flower beds. Focus on areas of your yard where your dog hangs out the most. This mixture dries out flea eggs and makes it impossible for adult fleas to breathe, therefore killing them off. If you live in a moist and humid climate, you may need to apply this mixture every two months. If you live in a dry climate, you won't need to apply as often, maybe once every three to four months. Make sure to wear a protective mask when handling the DE dust as it can irritate your lungs. You can buy DE online at shops like Amazon or at hardware/garden stores. Pest control companies may also sell it, as it's used extensively to kill other types of pests as well. Water drowns fleas and flea eggs. You can use a garden hose to drown fleas and their eggs in your yard in areas where your dog frequents (e.g. kennel, dog run, favourite nap area, etc.). Just spray water in the area until it's practically flooded. In order to kill fleas and their eggs inside your house, you need to keep up a regular cleaning routine around your house. Start by washing hard floors (e.g. wood, tile, etc.) as often as you can. Pay special attention to the cracks and gaps in the floors where fleas can hide. You should also vacuum your rugs and carpets every day to remove any fleas or eggs that may fall off you or your dog. To help keep fleas at bay, and to prevent you from needing to do too much work, it may be easier to simply remove and store away your area carpets or rugs during flea season. Give them a good cleaning before you store them and when you take them back out again. When doing your daily vacuuming routine on carpets and rugs, you may also want to run the vacuum over any furniture in the same rooms (e.g. couches, ottomans, pillows, etc.). If you use a vacuum with a bag, you can freeze the bag in-between uses to kill the fleas you vacuum up. Note that the fleas will stay alive inside the bag between vacuuming if you simply store the vacuum between uses. If small enough, wash your dog's bedding in your washing machine every week with hot water and mild laundry detergent. If the bedding is too big for the washing machine, you can always soak it in a tub of water mixed with vinegar or hydrogen peroxide. Worst case scenario, if your dog's bedding is too big for either washing method, make sure to vacuum it thoroughly. If the flea infestation is really bad, or if it's over but you want to make sure you got every last flea, consider hiring a steam cleaning company to come to your home. Ask them to use just hot water to steam clean your floors, furniture, and your dog's bedding. Make sure you move furniture in order to steam clean underneath too.
A:
Keep your yard clean. Sprinkle a water-diatomaceous earth mixture in your yard. Use a garden hose to flood areas your dog frequents. Wash and vacuum your floors often. Give your dog's bedding a good cleaning at least once a week. Hire a professional steam cleaner.
