The most effective way to keep your guinea pig safe from the heat is to move it from outdoors to indoors (if it isn't already inside). The lower temperature inside your home will certainly help it stay cool, especially if you have fans or air conditioning. Wherever you put your guinea pig, make sure it's safe from any other pets or young children you have in your home. If you choose to place your guinea pig in the laundry room, refrain from running the washer or dryer while it's in there. Guinea pigs are sensitive to loud noises and the machines will also give off a good bit of heat. If moving your guinea pig indoors isn't an option, make sure the run is located in a shady spot and out of full sunlight. Being exposed to direct sunlight can cause the cage to rapidly heat to an uncomfortable temperature. Keep the cage in a shaded area of your home away from windows or under a small parasol. If you can't bring the cage indoors, at least put it under a shady tree or under the roofing of your house. Note that if wherever you put your guinea pig's cage makes your guinea pig less visible to the naked eye, you'll need to check on it more often just to make sure it's ok. You can minimize the amount of sun that seeps through your windows by covering them with room-darkening curtains. The heat can be twice as bad in poorly ventilated places like these, especially as the humidity level rises. Wherever you choose to keep your guinea pig's cage, make sure the location is well ventilated and has a good flow of air. Housing your guinea pig in a shed or garage can lead to death, so please take caution! If you're using a fan, point it away from the guinea pig instead of directly onto it. Fans can help cool the air, but the feeling of having air constantly blown at it can stress out your guinea pig. Make sure the air in the cage doesn't get too cold as a result of using air conditioning. Your guinea pig's cage should never be colder than 50F (10C). Place a stand-alone or wall-mounted thermometer immediately adjacent to the cage to get the best reading of the cage's internal temperature. Make sure this temperature stays between 65 and 75F (18 and 24C). This is the ideal temperature range for guinea pigs. Your guinea pig will enjoy lying down next to these items to cool off whenever it gets too warm. Plus, they help to insulate cold air in the cage. Gel cushions and cool tiles can also be used instead of ice packs or frozen water bottles. Plastic water bottles can be filled with water and then frozen overnight. Wrap them in old tea towels or flannels and place them into the cage. Old tiles can be placed in the freezer to cool overnight and then put inside the cage for your guinea pig to rest on or near. Chilled gel packs can also be used as long as your guinea pigs won't chew them! The dampness can help insulate cool air in the cage as well as reduce heat stress. Rinse the cloth in ice-cold water and make sure you drain it off afterward. Make sure you only cover part of the cage to ensure that you can see the guinea pigs and they can see you. Avoid placing the cloth over the food bowl, as this can end up spoiling the food pellets in the bowl.

Summary: Move your guinea pig indoors if you normally keep it outside. Avoid putting your guinea pig's cage in any direct sunlight. Refrain from keeping your guinea pig in a shed or garage. Use fans and air conditioning to keep the cage cool. Use a thermometer next to the cage to monitor its temperature. Place ice packs or frozen water bottles in the cage. Consider partially covering the cage with damp cloths and towels.

This icon is to the left of the Computer icon you selected when making a backup. Doing so will "expand" the Computer folder, which displays the folders inside of it below the Computer icon. If Computer already shows several folders below it, it is already expanded. There will usually be five folders inside of the Computer folder: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT HKEY_CURRENT_USER HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE HKEY_USERS HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG Clicking any folder in the Registry Editor will display the folder's contents in the right-hand panel of the Registry Editor. For example: if you click the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder, you should see at least one icon on the right side of the page with the name (Default). Click the > icon to the left of a folder to expand it and view its contents. This will work for any folder in the Registry, regardless of where it is. You can also double-click folders to expand them. Some folders (e.g., HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT) contain hundreds of subfolders, meaning that expanding them will result in the left-hand sidebar becoming flooded with subfolders. The Registry can be hard to navigate when this happens, but all folders are arranged alphabetically. These are in the upper-left side of the Registry Window, and include the following: File - Import or export a Registry file, or print a selected item. Edit - Change aspects of a selected Registry item, or create a new one. View - Enable or disable the Registry address bar (not all versions of Windows 10 have this feature). You can also view the binary data for a selected Registry item. Favorite - Add a selected Registry item to your computer's Favorites folder. Help - View Microsoft's help page for the Registry. You'll find an icon with a red ab on it labeled (Default) in most Registry folders. Double-clicking it will open it for you to view its contents. This will close your opened Registry item.

Summary: Click > next to Computer. Review the built-in Registry folders. Click a Registry folder. Expand a Registry folder. Review the toolbar items. Double-click a Registry folder's item. Click Cancel.

The present value of the bond's principal tells you its current worth based on the current market interest rate. For this calculation, you need to know the current market interest rate. Also, you need to know the length of time until the bond expires and the number of interest payments per year. For example, suppose ABC Company issues 5-year, $500,000, 10% bonds. Interest is paid semi-annually. The current market interest rate is 12 percent. In this example, the current market interest rate is 12 percent. The length of time until the bond expires is 5 years. Divide the annual current market interest rate by the number of interest payments per year. Using the example above, the annual market interest rate is 12 percent. Interest payments are paid semi-annually, or twice per year. The market rate per period is 6 percent (.12/2=.06){\displaystyle (.12/2=.06)}. Multiply the number of interest payments per year by the number of years until the bond reaches maturity. This tells you how many interest payments will be made over the life of the bond. In the above example, interest is paid out semi-annually, or twice per year. The number of years until maturity is five. The total number of interest payments is 52=10{\displaystyle 5*2=10}. This is used to calculate the present value of the bond based on the current market interest rate. The formula for PVIF is 1/(1+r)n{\displaystyle 1/(1+r)^{n}}. In this formula, "r" is the interest rate per period. Also, "n" is the total number of interest payments. PVIF = 1/(1+.06)10=0.5584{\displaystyle 1/(1+.06)^{10}=0.5584} Present value of the principal = principal * PVIF $500,0000.5584=$279,200{\displaystyle \$500,000*0.5584=\$279,200}
Summary: Gather the information. Calculate the current market interest rate for each payment period. Calculate the total number of interest payments. Calculate the Present Value Interest Factor (PVIF).
