Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Buy a pair of pre-made mouse ears. Use clothing for the mouse body. Attach a tail. Paint on a mouse face. Put on paws.

Answer: Mouse ear headbands can be purchased from many department and party stores, especially around Halloween. When you need to make a mouse costume in a hurry, these are a great start. You can also easily make your own mouse ears headband. Just cut two small (about two inches) rounded ears out of felt or furry fabric (gray, brown, black, or white) and glue them to a plain headband. You can also glue a pipe cleaner to each ear and attach its ends to the headband for more stability. Some clothing that is the same color (usually black, brown, gray, or white) as the pre-made mouse ears will make a quick and simple mouse body for your costume. You can use clothing you already have, or purchase new items. Women can use things like a tank dress, leggings and a tank top, a solid color dress, or sweatpants and a sweatshirt. Men can use things like sweatpants and a sweatshirt, or pants and a t-shirt of the same color. Anyone can also use some black, brown, gray or white footed pajamas as the mouse's body. You can use a strip of cloth, or stuff a sock (or one half-of a pair of leggings) with newspaper or fiberfill. Just make sure that the tail is the same color as the clothing you are using for the mouse's body (or pink). Use makeup to draw a mouse face on your own once you put the rest of the costume on. Use pink lipstick to draw a dot or triangle on the end of your nose to form the mouse's nose. Draw a few whiskers on your cheeks using eyeliner (black, brown, or white). You can put socks on your feet and socks or mittens on your hands to use as the mouse paws, if you would like. If you are using footed pajamas as your mouse body, you will just need a pair of socks or mittens to put on your hands.

Answer: When you are traveling to places in high altitudes, you should try to get there slowly. Your body typically needs three to five days at altitudes above 8,000 feet to acclimate it to the environment before traveling higher. To help with this, especially if you are traveling where there are no altitude markers, purchase an altimeter or a watch with altitude meter in order to know how high you have traveled. You can buy these online or from a mountain sport shop. There are some other behaviors you should avoid. Do not go over 9,000 feet in altitude in 1 day. Do not sleep 1,000 to 2,000 feet above the altitude you slept at the previous night. You should always spend an extra day acclimating for every 3,300 ft. Another way to combat altitude sickness is to get plenty of rest. Domestic and international travel can alter normal sleep patterns. This can cause you to become tired and dehydrated, which increases your risk for altitude sickness. Before starting your ascent, plan a day or two of rest to get used to your new environment and sleep patterns, especially if you are traveling internationally. In addition, during your three to five day acclimation to your new altitude, take the first day or two to rest before exploring the area. Before you go on a journey where you will ascend to high altitudes, get some medication to help. Schedule an appointment with your doctor to get prophylaxis medications before you leave. Discuss your past medical history and explain that you are going up to elevations greater than 8,000 to 9,000 ft. If you're not allergic, a prescription for acetazolamide may be given to you by your doctor. This is an FDA approved drug for the prevention and treatment of acute mountain sickness. Acetazolamide is a diuretic, which increases urine production, and is known to cause an increase in respiratory ventilation that allows more oxygen exchange in our body. Take 125 mg as prescribed twice daily starting one day before your trip and take for two days at your highest altitude.. If your doctor advises against acetazolamide or you are allergic, there are other options. You can take other non-FDA approved medications such as dexamethasone, which is a steroid. Studies have shown that the drug reduces the incidence and severity of acute mountain sickness. Take this medication as prescribed, which is usually 4 mg every 6 to 12 hours starting the day before your trip and continue until you are fully acclimated at your highest altitude. 600mg of ibuprofen every 8 hours may also help prevent acute mountain sickness. Ginkgo biloba has been studied for treatment and prevention of altitude sickness, but the results are varied and not recommended for use. Before you leave on your trip, you may need to have your RBCs tested. Schedule an appointment with your doctor for this test before you leave. If you are found to have anemia or low red blood cells, your doctor may advise you to correct this before going on your trip. This is important because RBCs carry oxygen to your tissues and organs and are needed for survival. There are many reasons for low RBC, the most common is iron deficiency. B vitamin deficiency can also lead to low red blood cells. If low, your doctor may advise you to take iron or vitamin B supplements to correct your RBC. If you are traveling to Central or South America for mountain climbing, you may wish to purchase coca leaves while you are there. Though this is an illegal substance in the US, domestic people living in Central and South America use this to prevent mountain sickness. If you are traveling to these areas, you may purchase the leaves and either chew on it or make tea. You should be aware that even one cup of tea can result in a positive cocaine drug test. Coca is a stimulant and studies have revealed that it induces biochemical changes that enhance physical performance at high altitude. Dehydration reduces your body's ability to acclimate to new altitudes. Drink two to three liters daily starting the day before your trip. Keep an extra liter of water on you during your ascent. Make sure you drink as needed on your way down. Do not drink any alcohol and avoid it for the first 48 hours of your trip. Alcohol is a depressant and can slow down your breathing rate and cause dehydration. You should also avoid caffeinated products, such as energy drinks and sodas. Caffeine can lead to the dehydration of your muscles. There are certain kinds of foods that you should eat to get ready for your trip and prevent altitude sickness. High carbohydrate diets have shown in some studies to alleviate acute mountain sickness symptoms as well as improve mood and performance. Other studies have shown improved oxygen saturation in the blood during simulated high altitude experiments from the carbohydrates as well. It is believed that carbohydrate diets can improve energy balance. Eat a high carbohydrate diet before and during the acclimation periods. This can include pastas, breads, fruits, and potato based meals. In addition, excess salt should be avoided. Too much salt will cause the dehydration of your body's tissues. Look for food and meals labeled with low salt or no salt added at the supermarket. Physical endurance and conditioning may appear to be a good idea before mountain climbing. However, studies have shown there is no evidence that physical fitness protects against altitude sickness.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find the best medium to record your schedule. Budget your day in 30 minute segments. Work your necessary activities into the schedule first. Fit in "flexible" time. Refer to your schedule often. Adjust your schedule as needed.

Answer:
Having your schedule written down is one of the best ways to ensure that you'll keep on track. If you have easy access to your schedule, you will get in the habit of checking it regularly. Figure out which method works best for you. Then you can access your schedule when you need a reminder about what's next on the list. Some people prefer writing it down in a daily planner. Others like to keep track on a laptop or tablet. There are lots of useful scheduling apps for mobile phones. If you use a computer or phone to record your schedule, you can set reminders to prompt you when important tasks are coming up. As you start to figure out your daily schedule, break up your day into half-hour segments. These chunks of time are manageable amounts in which to accomplish certain tasks. Then you don't need to plan your schedule down to the minute. You will have obligations throughout the day that need to be accomplished at specific times. For example, you need to drop off your children at school at 8:00 a.m. You need to pick them up at 3:00 p.m. Fit these types of activities into your schedule first. After you have your obligations worked into your schedule, look for pockets of time that do not require specific activities. These are considered "flex" time. Now look at your long-term goals and start to fit activities into your schedule that will help you accomplish your goals. The flex time can also be used for unforeseen obligations or other activities that come up last-minute. As you start to adjust to using a schedule, you should consult the schedule frequently. This will help remind you of your planned activities. This will also keep you on track so that you don't spend too much time doing one activity or task. As you start working through your schedule every day, you can assess how it's working for you. Make adjustments based on how much time you're spending on different tasks. Be sure to include your long-term goals so that you are sure to achieve them.
