Q: Buy a bag of feathers from your local craft store. Use the feathers to line the cloth ring in the middle of the box. Feathers store heat well, and will help the eggs stay warm. The number depends on how large the stuffed animals are and how much room you have in the box. Arrange them around the circumference of the circle to enclose the egg more for warmth. Make sure the stuffed animals are big enough to press against the sides of the shoebox and push the rags and feathers closer to the eggs. Place it in the corner of the box to prevent spills. Refill the water daily or as the water level goes down with evaporation. Check the water at least twice a day. Look for an inexpensive one at charity shops or garage sales. For a high-quality lamp, shop at your local pet supply store. Buy a lamp with an adjustable neck that you can reposition to achieve the ideal temperature. Make sure the heat lamp does not touch any of the flammable materials in the nest box, as this could cause a fire. Digital readouts make it easier to track temperatures to the tenth of a degree. You'll need this kind of precision when incubating eggs. Look for these instruments in any big box store. Many locations sell single devices that measure both temperature and humidity. Position the lamp so that the light is shining into the box. Place the thermometer and humidity gauge in the location you'll place the eggs. Aim for a temperature of about 98.6F (37.0C) and a humidity level between 55 and 70 percent.
A: Insulate the nest with feathers. Add two to four small stuffed animals. Fill a small cup of water for humidity. Find a small heat lamp. Buy a digital thermometer and a humidity gauge. Heat the box.

Q: While not necessary, a template will save you some work by setting up the timeline structure for you. You can check whether you already have a timeline template by browsing options in the File New or File New from Template commands. Otherwise, search online for user-created timeline templates. If you don't want to use a template, continue on to the next step. If your timeline tracks the progress of a multi-branched project, consider looking for "Gantt chart" templates instead. You can set up a basic timeline with an ordinary blank spreadsheet. Type the dates of your timeline in one row, spacing them out with blank cells roughly in proportion to the time between them. In the cell directly above or below each date, write a description of the event that happened on that date. Don't worry if it looks sloppy. Alternating descriptions above and below the date tend to make the most readable timelines. Select the row containing your descriptions. Click the Home tab in the ribbon menu, then look for the Orientation button under the Alignment group. (In some versions, the Orientation button looks like the letters abc.) Click this button and select one of the angled text options. The rotated text should make your descriptions fit the timeline. If you are using Excel 2003 or earlier, instead right-click the selected cells. Select Format Cells, then the Alignment tab. Type in the number of degrees you'd like the text to rotate, then click OK.
A: Consider downloading a template. Start your own timeline from ordinary cells. Write your timeline entries. Angle the descriptions.

Q: for yourself. Starting a healthier diet is a great overarching goal; however, to make your goal more realistic and doable, you'll need to be more specific about what you want out of a "healthy diet." It might be helpful to first think about your current diet. What's unhealthy about it? Do you need to eat more green vegetables? Do you need to drink more water? Should you snack less? Write up a list of the things you want to change, add or stop about your current diet. Use these ideas to form multiple small goals to help you reach a healthier diet. The best way to reach any goal is to start with one or two very small changes. Trying to overhaul your entire diet in a few days probably won't work well. Choose something small to work on each week. You'll be much more successful long-term. After you've come up with a few goals and how you can achieve them, consider starting a food journal. This will serve as a method to track and evaluate your progress. Write all your goals in your food journal. You can review them as needed or change them as you continue to make changes to your diet. Also track all of your foods and beverages in your food journal. This will help you physically see what's missing from your diet or what you're eating too much of. Make sure to write out each breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack (even a few nibbles) and drinks you consume throughout the day. The more accurate you are, the better resource this will be. Each week in your food journal, write down the change you want to work on. For example, "This week, I will drink eight glasses of water each day." At the end of the week, go back over your journal to see if you've completed this goal. There are many apps available to download on your smartphone that can help you track calories, exercise, and even how much water you drink. . A meal plan is a great tool when you're trying to follow any new diet plan. These plans are your guide and blueprint to your week of meals and snacks. Meal plans can help you stay organized and on track throughout the week. You'll know exactly what you're going to have and on what day. This way you can go to the grocery store with a specific list, only buying what you plan to use in your meals for the week. You can also plan ahead of time for busy days for instance, if you know you'll be very busy and work late on Thursday, make something on Wednesday that you can easily reheat and have for leftovers on Thursday. Also write up the corresponding grocery list to your meal plans. This will help you get in and out of the grocery store and ensure you have all the necessary ingredients at home to make all of your meals. Don't skip meals. If you currently skip meals, make sure to schedule a meal or a healthy snack for yourself at least every four hours. Skipping meals is more likely to lead to binge eating later, which contributes to weight gain. If you're busy and have little time to make a meal from scratch, meal prep will be the key to following your new healthier diet. Meal prep helps you get a lot of the work of cooking from scratch or cooking at home out of the way during free time. When it's time for dinner on a busy weeknight, you should have most or even all of the cooking already done. Plan a day or two during the week when you have some free time to do your meal prep. Review your meal plan and grocery list and try to find ways to get some cooking done. Meal prep is flexible. You can cook full dinners in advance so you just have to reheat the night you want to eat it, or you can just do washing or chopping of vegetables or marinating meat so you can quickly cook the night of. Also consider purchasing foods that require less prep work to begin with. For example, you can purchase pre-washed and cut bagged lettuce instead of a whole head of lettuce, frozen vegetables that are heat and serve, or pre-grilled lean protein like grilled chicken strips. Meal prepping can be a time to catch up with people. Ask your partner or children to help you prep while you talk about what has been going on in your lives.
