Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Collect the necessary information. Launch your preferred spreadsheet, such as Microsoft Excel. Enter the details for your specific calculation in column B, rows 1-4, to coincide with the labels. Click on cell B5 to select it and then click inside the formula bar to enter this formula: Calculate compound interest manually.

Answer: Unless you are withdrawing the daily interest you are accumulating, it will be added to the original amount of your principal which is a great way to save. To calculate, you will need the principal amount, the annual interest rate, the number of compounding periods per year (365 for daily) and the number of years the money will be in your account. Assign labels in column A, rows 1-5, for the Principal, Interest Rate, Period, Number of Years and Compound Interest Balance. You can expand the cell by clicking on the right line of the column number, A, B, C, etc. (Arrows will then show that you can manipulate.) These labels are for your reference only. Period is 365 and the number of years is whatever you choose to calculate. Leave cell B5 (Compound Interest Balance) blank for now. For example, principal = $2,000, interest rate = 8% or .08, compounding periods = 365 and the number of years is 5. =B1*(1+B2/B3)^(B4*B3) and click enter. Compounded daily, the total principal and interest earned balance is $2983.52 after 5 years. You can see it is a good idea to reinvest your interest earned. The formula to use is Initial investment * (1 + Annual interest rate / Compounding periods per year) ^ (Years * Compounding periods per year). The ^ indicates an exponent. For example, using the same information from Step 3, principal = $2,000, interest rate = 8% or .08, compounding periods = 365 and the number of years is 5. Compound interest =2,000 * (1 + .08/365) ^ (5 * 365) = $2983.52.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Rest if your chest tightness is caused by soreness. Get immediate stress relief. Work with a therapist to manage chest tightness caused by stress, anxiety, or depression.

Answer: Chest pain can be caused by a bruise or other injury. If that’s the case for you, take it easy. Stop doing any activity that might aggravate your injury. Once your chest pain gets better, you can start slowly getting back to your normal activity levels. Panic attacks and other issues can cause trouble breathing and chest tightness. There are several techniques you can try to reduce acute stress, including:  Yoga Relaxation techniques Breathing exercises If you experience periodic chest tightness that doesn't have an obvious physical cause, ask your doctor to refer you to a therapist. Stress, anxiety, and depression can all cause feelings of tightness in the chest, even without becoming a full panic attack. A therapist may have you try:  Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) Talk therapy Relaxation techniques


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask yourself what you like in a dog. Learn more about dog behaviors. Identify what you want the dog to do. Do not reinforce unwanted behaviors. Train your dog to engage in a wanted behavior. Reward good behavior. Consult a dog behaviorist.

Answer: In order to identify unwanted dog behaviors, you will have to define what you enjoy and do not enjoy in your dogs.  Some people might enjoy the sound of their dog’s endless barking, but others might not.  You might think it’s cute when your dog begs for food at the table, but you might also find it irritating. Realize that sometimes personal preferences must be adjusted for the safety of others. Some people might like the fact that their dog jumps up on visitors enthusiastically, but a dog that does this could end up harming an elderly person or small child one day. In addition to your own personal preferences, you should consult other dog owners and veterinarians about what they consider unwanted dog behavior.  They might have some insights about what qualifies as desirable or undesirable behavior.  For instance, you might say to a fellow dog owner, “I am trying to identify unwanted dog behaviors.  What sort of behaviors should I be on the lookout for?”  Behaviors that are dangerous for you, your dog, or others should always be considered unwanted behaviors. In addition to conversations, you should spend some time reading profiles about your dog’s breed.  This information can help you better understand what to expect when identifying and correcting unwanted dog behaviors. For instance, collies, golden retrievers, and German shepherds are easy to train, so correcting their unwanted behaviors will be easier than doing so with hard-to-train breeds like Beagles, Pomeranians, and Basset hounds. Learning more about dog behaviors might help you realize that what you see as a normal behavior is in fact unwanted or even dangerous, and behaviors that you might consider unwanted are actually normal. Instead of phrasing the dog’s unwanted behavior as a problem (“I don’t want my dog to bark endlessly”) think of the situation in terms of what sort of behavior you wish your dog exhibited (“I want my dog to sit quietly”).  This important change in perspective will help you devise a plan for action Correcting your dog’s unwanted behavior (that is, replacing an unwanted behavior with a desirable behavior) should be the long-term goal, but the first step in doing so is to end the current behavior.  The easiest way to do that is to starve your dog of the motivation to continue its unwanted behavior.  For instance, if your dog barks by the door when it wants to go out to play, then you open the door to let it out, you’re rewarding your dog for barking. To correct the behavior, you should ignore the dog when it barks and only let it out when it sits at the door quietly, even if it can only maintain this good behavior for a moment at first. The desirable behavior you should replace the unwanted behavior with varies depending on the behavior you are correcting for.  For instance, if you wish to correct your dog’s barking by the door when it wishes to go out and play, you could train your dog to be ready to play at regularly scheduled intervals that you decide. If your dog is quiet, responsive to your commands, or otherwise well-behaved, reward this behavior in order to ensure it continues.  Use a combination of verbal praise, physical affection, and treats when rewarding your dog.  For instance, if you ask your dog to sit and it does so, reward it with a treat. If you tell your dog to be quiet and it stops barking, say, “Good dog!” and pat it on the head. You might be unable to adequately identify and correct unwanted dog behaviors simply using a step-by-step guide or a conversation with another dog owner.  Every dog is different and unwanted dog behaviors may develop due to a variety of causes.  A dog behaviorist expert can help you develop a plan to combat your dog’s unwanted behavior, and can be vital when dealing with dangerous behaviors or in helping older dogs with deeply ingrained habits. Ask your vet for advice in locating a reputable dog behaviorist.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Design the tutorial. Design the world. Design the mechanics. Design your levels. Design the content. Design the interface. Design the controls.

Answer:
There are many different ways to do the tutorial and many different philosophies about the best way to go about it. You can hide the tutorial within a story about the player character getting training (aka Fable), or you can simply display instructions (aka Mass Effect). You can even try to hide the tutorial altogether blending it seamlessly into the game or display all of the tutorial all at once. No matter what you do, make sure that it feels natural within your game. The world is the environments in which your player will play the game. How expansive will your world be? How challenging? How will you indicate that an area should be explored? That it shouldn't? These are things you'll need to consider. These are the internal rules of the game. You'll want to decide on a rule system and make sure that it's balanced and consistent. The best way to do this is to look at what other games do right or wrong in this area. The levels are the individual chunks of the game, the "episodes" that the player has to get through to make it to the end of the game. The levels should be engaging and just the right amount of challenging. They should also be physically laid out in a way that makes sense. You'll need to design all the content, like the items that can be interacted with, the characters themselves, the environmental items, etc. This can be extremely time consuming so plan ahead! Try to find clever ways to recycle things without making them seem repetitive. The interface includes things like the menus and UI. You want these to be easy to navigate and natural to use. Take cues from your favorite games but remember that generally the simpler the better. If an 8-year-old can figure it out, you're set. Having controls which feel natural are key to players really enjoying and getting the most out of your game. Remember to keep things simple and streamlined. When in doubt, conform to standardized control systems.
