If you aren't confident that your pan is oven-safe, you can also season a pan on the stovetop. Begin by heating the clean, dry pan on medium heat for 3 minutes. Once the pan has heated for 3 minutes, add 2 tablespoons (29.57 ml) of coconut oil to the pan and wait for it to melt, about 2 minutes. You can also use vegetable oil if you prefer or don't have access to coconut oil. Once the coconut oil has melted, pick the pan up off the stove and roll your wrist to tilt it around in a circular motion. This should swirl the oil around in the bottom of the pan so that it coats the entire bottom. After swirling the oil, place the pan back down on the burner. Let the pan sit over the heat until the coconut oil begins to smoke. This means that the oil is getting hot and is starting to bake into pan. When you start seeing the oil smoke, take the non-stick pan off the heat and set it aside to cool. Keep the oil inside the pan and let the pan cool until it is room temperature. Once the pan cools, you should still see some coconut oil coating the bottom. Take a paper towel and gently rub the oil into the pan. The rubbing should force some coconut oil into the pores of the pan, while absorbing the excess with the paper towel. Your pan is seasoned and should be ready to use.

Q: Get the ball rolling by having your client give you an overview of the sorts of locales, accommodations, and activities they're looking for in a vacation. Tell them to be as specific as they please. By getting a sense of their preferences, you'll be able to pick out a package that's just right for them. Start with a broad opener like, "What kind of weather do you enjoy?" before narrowing your focus to more a directed line of inquiry such as, "Would you prefer a hip resort with all the trappings, or a quiet, secluded bed and breakfast?" Some people might be looking for a sunny Caribbean cruise, while others may be more interested in an extended stay in the rustic European countryside. Money can be a sensitive subject. A good way to broach the issue is by focusing on the person's wants rather than their limitations. For instance, instead of asking, "How much do you have to spend?" you could open with something like, "Are you looking for something simple and cozy, or are you more interested in the deluxe package with all the trimmings?" From here, you can eliminate options that don't meet your client's financial criteria. Avoid making statements that might be seen as invasive or judgmental, such as "I think a less expensive package would be a better choice in your case." You don't want to risk alienating the person you're supposed to be working for. Consider the distance they'll have to cover to reach their destination. Would they rather get their by land, sea, or air? Will they need separate transportation once they arrive? These are practical concerns that will help travelers get where they're going more comfortably and conveniently. Let your client know about packages that feature optional upgrades, such as first-class airfare or a larger cabin. Be sure to mention if transportation isn't included, as this will create additional expense for the client. Once your client has given you an idea of what they want from their trip, you can begin narrowing down their options based on the things they like to do. Built-in events and activities are a way of helping vacationers get more out of their leisure time. Sometimes, their decision to purchase a certain package may come down to the inclusion of a pair of concert tickets or windsurfing lessons. Adventurous souls might be tempted by a guided hike to a volcano or a ziplining adventure in the treetops, while those who are seeking some peace and quiet will likely get more satisfaction from a night at the opera or a day pass to a modern art exhibit. There's something for everybody!
A: Ask the client questions about their ideal trip. Find out what kind of budget the client is working with. Take your client's travel preferences into account. Recommend packages with tailored activities.

Article: Your cat has just been through a completely unnatural experience and is probably exhausted, a little skittish, and may even believe the bath was a punishment. Remind the cat that you are its friend and that it is not in trouble by offering it some of its favorite treat. Post-bath grooming for your cat means that it may ingest a good deal of hair. Consider treating your cat with specially formulated "hairball treats." These contain a greater amount of fat or fish oil, which will stick to the fur in the cat's stomach, helping the fur pass through the digestive system and preventing hairballs. While treating it, pat and stroke the cat gently, talking and telling it what a good kitty it is, reassuring it that everything is back to normal and that it doesn't need to be afraid. If your cat is a fan of being brushed, begin the grooming process by using its favorite brush to start removing hair that has been released due to stress and bathing. Don't release the cat until its body language tells you it has relaxed and is not afraid. Look for signs like tail lifting, purring, closing or partially closing the eyes, bunting (nuzzling its head against your hands or body), or any other signs you recognize as indicating your cat is happy. When the cat body emotes calm energy, release it. It will likely find a comfy, out of the way spot to begin its own grooming process. Give it a few hours to groom, nap, and feel normal again. Let it come find you when it's ready for interaction.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Offer treats. Pet the cat. Continue to pet, treat, and soothe before release.

Article: An amortization schedule will tell you exactly how your monthly mortgage payments will be split between paying off principal and interest and what your balance will be at the end of each month. Start by inputting the basics of your loan information in the top left of a spreadsheet program. For example, in cell A1, write out "annual interest rate." Then, input your annual interest rate as a percentage in the next cell over, B1. Continue down to cell A2 for the loan duration in years, inputting the amount in column B as before. Do the same for payment per year and loan principal in cells A3 and A4, respectively. Skip a line under your loan information. Then, place the following words across the spreadsheet, in row 6 from columns A to E: Payment number. Payment amount. Principal payment. Interest payment. Loan balance. Directly under the column headers you just created, start filling out your loan information. Under payment number, place a 1. Then, under payment amount, type in "=pmt(B1/B3,B2*B3,B4)". This is the payment function. Under principal payment, type "=ppmt(B1/B3,A7,B2*B3,B4)". This is the principal payment function and it shows the amount of the principal paid down each month. Under interest payment, type "=ipmt(B1/B3,A7,B2*B3,B4)". This is the interest payment function and it shows the amount of interest paid down each month. Finally, under loan balance, type "=(B4+C7)". Cell A7 should contain your first payment number, 1. Cell C7 should contain the payment amount. Select the range from cell A7 to E7. Then, drag the calculations down to the last payment. At this point, the loan balance in column E should be $0. Remember that your number of payments is calculated by multiplying the number of annual payments by the loan duration in years. If your loan payment numbers don't update down the amortization schedule. Type "=(A7+1)" into cell A8 (payment 2) and drag that down to the end of your schedule. The rest of the numbers will then update.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Set up your amortization schedule. Create your amortization schedule columns. Fill out your first month's amortization. Complete your amortization schedule.
