Use this method if you know:  multiple distances that were traveled; and the amount of time it took to travel each of those distances.  For example: If Ben traveled 150 miles in 3 hours, 120 miles in 2 hours, and 70 miles in 1 hour, what was his average speed for the entire trip? The formula is S=dt{\displaystyle S={\frac {d}{t}}}, where S{\displaystyle S} equals the average speed, d{\displaystyle d} equals the total distance, and t{\displaystyle t} equals the total time. To do this, add up the number of miles traveled during the entire trip. Substitute this value for d{\displaystyle d} in the formula. For example, If Ben traveled 150 miles, 120 miles, and 70 miles, you would determine the total speed by adding the three distances together: 150+120+70=340{\displaystyle 150+120+70=340}. So, your formula will look like this: S=340t{\displaystyle S={\frac {340}{t}}}. To do this, add up the times, usually hours, that were spent traveling. Substitute this value for t{\displaystyle t} in the formula. For example, If Ben for 3 hours, 2 hours, and 1 hour, you would determine the total time by adding the three times together: 3+2+1=6{\displaystyle 3+2+1=6}. So, your formula will look like this: S=3406{\displaystyle S={\frac {340}{6}}}. This will give you your average speed. For example:S=3406{\displaystyle S={\frac {340}{6}}}S=56.67{\displaystyle S=56.67}. So if Ben traveled 150 miles in 3 hours, 120 miles in 2 hours, and 70 miles in 1 hour, his average speed was about 57 mph.

You’ll need a clean toothbrush, two clean washcloths, a small wash basin or bowl, and a high efficiency laundry detergent.  Spot cleaning is best if the whole stuffed animal does not require cleaning. You’ll also want to spot clean if the animal is made of something delicate enough that you don’t want to submerge it. Regular liquid detergent and liquid soap can work as well. Most cleaners that work on upholstery should work on your stuffed animal.  You can make a good cleaning solution for your animal by diluting some dishwashing soap in warm water. Here, you want to use your hand to mix the detergent around the bowl, ensuring you have a proper mix of water and detergent. You want to get the cloth pretty wet, but not soaked. Using a circular motion, rub the entire stuffed animal down. Gently scrubbing any trouble spots. For a particular troublesome spot, use your toothbrush to scrub a little harder. Using your remaining washcloth, run it under cold water. Make sure you get the washcloth wet, but not soaked. In circular motions, wipe down the stuffed animal. You may need to wet the wash cloth a couple of times to make sure you are removing all the detergent from the stuffed animal. You should hang the stuffed animal out in the sun to dry or place it in front of a fan. If the stuffed animal is not suitable for the washer, it most likely can’t go in the dryer either.

Remember that an argumentative essay will argue in support of a particular view in a debatable issue. As such, it is important that you do not choose a topic that is not arguable. For example, writing an argumentative essay on the fact that exercise is good for you would be undesirable because it would be difficult to find contradicting views on the topic; everyone agrees that exercise is good for people. You'll be spending a lot of time researching and writing this paper. So it is important for you to choose a topic that you find interesting from the start. Avoid choosing a topic that has been overdone, or, on the other hand, one that is too obscure (since supporting evidence may be more difficult to find). Find a peer (preferably one that holds an oppositional view) to discuss your argument with. This process will help you refine your thinking and develop new ideas to support your judgment. Try a debate-style conversation in which you each bring up aspects of the controversy and attempt to explain your view on the topic. An important aspect of writing an argumentative essay is understanding your audience.  Are you writing the paper for a class, in which case your audience is your professor and your classmates? Or perhaps you are writing it for a presentation to a larger group of people. Regardless, you must think about where your audience is coming from in order to lead them to your desired outcome. People's backgrounds and experiences often influence how they will react to views different from their own, so it is helpful for you to be knowledgeable about these factors. You also use different language when addressing different groups of people. For example, you would speak to the pastor at your church differently than you might speak in a casual setting with your best friend. It is important to be mindful of these distinctions when considering your audience. It is essential that you understand all of the factors in the situation surrounding your issue. All rhetorical situations contain five basic elements: the text (in your case, the essay), the author (in this case, you), the audience, the purpose or purposes of the communication, and the setting. Rhetorical situations usually involve employing language that is intended to persuade someone toward a particular view or belief. That is why rhetoric is important in an argumentative essay. These types of essays aim to convince the reader that the author's view on the subject is the most correct one.

Bathing your bird regularly is just as important to its overall health as cleaning the cage. Choose a birdbath that is appropriately sized for your bird so that it will not have trouble getting in and out of the basin.  Some birdbaths are meant for use inside the cage, while some are meant for use outside the cage. Larger birds may benefit from external baths, but bath setup largely comes down to owner preference. If you have a bird that can swim, such as a duck, make sure the bath contains enough space and water for the bird to be able to dunk their head safely. Allow the bird to use the bath only with your supervision. Fill the bath with warm water, and allow the bird to splash around, getting itself wet and preening for several minutes before removing it from the bath. Once your bird has finished bathing, scratch against the feathers to imitate mutual preening. Be sure not to press the feathers down against the bird’s body, as birds do not enjoy this sensation. Your bird will need time enough to dry before the evening. Allowing a bird to bathe too close to bedtime could lead them to getting dangerously cold during the night. Make sure your bird has at least a few hours to dry fully, especially for large birds. If you live in a colder environment, make sure the room is well-heated while your bird is bathing as well as when it is drying off.
