article: You can make the contest "winner takes all" or you can divvy up prizes between first, second and third place finishers. Some groups enjoy a cash prize while other groups give away movie passes, gift cards or privileges, like a chance to leave work early. Trips or gym memberships also make great prizes. A consultation with a personal trainer, an appointment with a dietitian, a guest speaker or a healthy recipe swap can all be organized and paid for with a portion of member dues. Get together for a healthy dinner or have a party to announce the winners.

article: The components needed to make gel alcohol hand sanitizer are common household products, so it's quite possible that you already have them. If you don't, you can obtain them easily at any drug or grocery store. You will need rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol that is at a minimum 91% pure and plain aloe vera gel. That's it! To be comparable to store-bought products like Purell or Germ-X in terms of effectiveness, the final product needs to be at least 65% alcohol. Using 91% isopropyl alcohol will place your final product within that range. If you can find 99% isopropyl alcohol, choose that. It's not required, but it will increase the germ-killing effectiveness of your final product. Aloe vera gel also comes in a variety of purity options. You'll want the purest that you can find simply check out the label to get the purity information. This doesn't alter the effectiveness of the product, but using the purest you can find will ensure that your final mixture contains the least amount of additives and additional chemicals. Measure out 34 cup (180ml) of isopropyl alcohol and 14 cup (59ml) of plain aloe vera gel and dump both of them together into the bowl. Use your spatula (or spoon) to stir vigorously until the ingredients are fully mixed together. If you'd prefer not to mix by hand in a bowl, you can use your food processor instead. If the ingredients flow too easily, add in 18 cup (30ml) more aloe gel and stir it together. Be careful adding any more gel since you may dilute the alcohol so much that it won't be effective against bacteria. Use the funnel to pour the mixture directly from the bowl into the bottle you've chosen to use. Replace the pump, lid, or cap on your bottle. Now you have your finished product and it's ready to use immediately! The mixture will keep for 6 months or more. Store it away from direct sunlight to get the longest shelf life possible. Put the mixture in smaller bottles that can easily fit into a purse, backpack, or briefcase for use on the go. If you purchase any commercial sanitizers, save the bottles so that you can upcycle them later, since those are perfect for this. You can usually purchase new empty bottles of this size at the grocery store. Check the aisle with travel-size personal care items. There is actually a proper way to use sanitizer to get maximum effectiveness from the product. Before you start, make sure your hands are clean of visible dirt and grime. Sanitizer isn't meant for situations when you find your hands dirty with actual dirt. Using about a palm-sized amount of the sanitizer, rub your hands briskly together for 20 to 30 seconds, taking care to get underneath your fingernails, between your fingers, the back of your hands and your wrists. Allow the sanitizer to dry completely, without wiping your hands off or rinsing them with water. Once the sanitizer dries completely, the process is complete.

Remember that marketing on TV, in magazines and in stores is targeted at humans. Even the design of the bag or can label is designed for humans to pick up and purchase. Don't be fooled by pretty pictures and cute commercials. Do some research for the sake of your furry friend. Labels that include marketing terms such as "premium," "natural," or "gourmet" are good for selling dog food but they do not have an actual definition recognized by the FDA or pet food manufacturers. Giving your dog canned instead of dry food, or vice versa, is a matter of choice and budget. Most dogs will do fine on either one, but, on occasion, you may find a dog that is sensitive to the form of diet. They may develop symptoms, such as vomiting or diarrhea, that show their system cannot process the food correctly. Canned food is generally more expensive than dry food options but it is about 75% water. AAFCO membership is voluntary, but it provides guidelines for the formulation and manufacturing of pet foods. Having this label offers a baseline of assurance to the consumer that the food meets the basic nutritional requirements for the type of animal listed on the container. Dogs are omnivores and they can eat meat, grain, and vegetables. However, you want to see the first ingredient listed as a meat, such as "chicken" or "beef" rather than "meat by product" or "meat meal." Seeing the word "chicken" on the ingredient label means that the meat is primarily of muscle tissue, but can include the diaphragm of the animal or heart (or other parts). You are also looking to ensure that the first ingredient is not a grain or tuber or vegetable, unless for some reason you are feeding your dog a vegetarian diet. The ingredients list on the label is listed in order by weight as they are found in the food's formula. Ingredients with water included, like meat, will usually be higher on the list. In order to compare dry (10-12% moisture) and canned diets (75% water), to truly get to the actual percentage of protein found in dog food, you need to consider the amount of moisture in the diet. To calculate the "dry matter basis" of the amount of protein you are feeding in a can of dog food, you need to remove the amount of water in the food with a calculation. For instance, if the food says that there is 12% protein and the can has 75% water, divide 12% by 25% to get 48% protein. That is pretty high. (You use 25% in the denominator to reflect the dry matter left once you have removed the 75% water in the diet.) This will help you compare dog foods, even if they come in different formulations. The suggested amount to feed your pet, based on your pet's healthy weight, can also be found on the side of most pet food bags. Of course, it is impossible for the manufacturer to be able to tailor the amount fed for each and every pet individually, so use this information as a basic guideline and monitor your pet's body condition. You will most likely not find calorie content on the bag or can and will need to call the company or check online for that information. Consult your veterinarian if you have any questions about your pet's weight and condition. Once you have picked out a type of food, you need to make sure that the food is still fresh. Check the sell by (or best before) date on the container. Dry food in particular is sprayed with fat on the outside to increase palatability. Fat will eventually go rancid with time and exposure to air and light. Heat will increase the chance of rancidity. Also check that the bag is intact and there are no holes in the bag before you take it home. Pet stores will place the oldest food on the top of the stack or the front of the line for the sake of inventory turnover. They want to sell the oldest food first, which makes sense. Just check to see if the product at the back or bottom of the row or stack has a much different date on it and take from the bottom or the back if appropriate. Although it seems like you are saving money buying a 40 pound bag of food for your 10 pound dog, you are better off with a smaller bag for the sake of freshness, unless you store it in the freezer nicely wrapped up to prevent moisture contamination and freezer burn. Don't forget to label the bag with the name of the food, lot number (in case of food recall), date of purchase and sell by date. Just take the desired portion out the day before you feed it to allow the food to thaw completely.[5] You should store dry dog food still in the original bag in an airtight container (plastic or metal) in the cool and dark place, like a closet or pantry or even the freezer. Store leftover canned food covered in the refrigerator. Unopened canned food should be stored in a cool, dry place. It is best to use up opened dog dry food within 6 weeks of opening, as long as it is stored properly.
