Today, if you want to send a message to a lot of people at once, using social media is likely the best choice.  Social media will allow you to quickly share information about your favorite charity to all of your friends and contacts.  By sending this information, you can help raise awareness and support your chosen charity. If you own your own business, you can partner with children's charity organizations that you want to support.  Partnering with a charity is a great way to send support and can also help improve your own business.  Think about some of these tips when considering partnering your business with a charity:  Let your customers know how much money your business has raised and donated to the charity. Mention the charity in your own advertisements, including your partnership with them. Include information about your favorite charity in your own publications. Ask the charity to recognize and share your contributions in their own outreach programs. A simple and effective way for you to inform others about your favorite charity is to simply talk about it.  Word of mouth should not be underestimated when considering ways to promote a certain children's charity.  Whenever you feel it's appropriate, try mentioning your donations, volunteer work, or other exciting things involving the charity you want to support.

Summary: Post about your favorite charity on social media. Offer free advertising through your business. Talk about it.


Play should pass to the left and each player should draw and place a tile next to an existing tile during his or her turn. Players should continue drawing and placing tiles until no tiles are left. Make sure the edges of tile match the edges of any connecting tiles. You may use your meeples to claim a road, farm, or city on a tile that you just laid down. You may not place meeples on another player’s previously placed tile. Before you place a meeple, make sure that the territory you will claim has not already been claimed by another player. Place meeples standing up on roads, cities, and cloisters. If you want to claim a field, then you should lay the meeple on its back to indicate that it is a farmer. Farmers remain on the board until the end of the game. You cannot place a meeple on a territory that has already been claimed by a fellow player. For example, you can't place a meeple if another player’s meeple is already on the same road/city/farm on connecting tiles. If you complete a road by laying down a tile on your turn, then you can remove the meeple that is on that road, count up the tiles for the road, and add that number to your score. You can then return the meeple that you picked up back to your supply for reuse.

Summary: Continue to draw tiles and place them next to existing tiles. Place a meeple on a tile you just laid. Make sure that you place meeples on vacant territories only. Take back Meeples if you complete a road.


Shake off any dirt or surface grime. The cardboard needs to be thick and preferably have a "cushioned" feel to it - old cartons are good. Once you have the shape right, you can go over the outline with a marker to make it easier to see. Use scissors that are sharp enough to cut cardboard easily. Make two insoles for each shoe. This will allow you to air one insole and insert the other, extending the life of both insoles.

Summary: Remove the old insole from your shoe. Place the old insole over cardboard. Trace the insole shape with a pencil. Cut out the insole design. Repeat.


When visiting a dentist, most will recommend you purchase a sonic electric toothbrush, or a brush that can create thousands of oscillations per minute. These provide a deep, thorough cleaning at a reasonable price, with many models costing under $100. Popular sonic toothbrush brands include Sonicare, ISSA, and Oral-B Pro. While similar in design to sonic brushes, ultrasonic brushes create millions of oscillations per minute instead of thousands. Though typically more expensive than their sonic siblings, coming in at well over $100, they provide the best cleaning possible short of visiting an actual dentist. Popular ultrasonic brands include Smilex, Emmi-dent, and Ultreo. Companies often use the terms sonic and ultrasonic interchangeably, so check the brush’s oscillations per minute to make sure it is actually ultrasonic. If you’re sick, traveling, or otherwise in need of a cheap, disposable electric toothbrush, try purchasing a basic battery-operated one. Though low-powered, they typically cost only a few dollars, making them a great option for flights, sleepovers, and other times when your normal toothbrush won’t be available. If you’re getting an electric toothbrush for a child, try buying one themed around their favorite TV show, video game, singer, or cartoon character. These brushes typically cost only a few dollars, meaning you can replace them easily when damaged, and often include timers to make sure the child brushes long enough. These brushes are typically low-intensity, so kids with severe teeth issues may need something more powerful.
Summary: Purchase a sonic toothbrush for an inexpensive, dentist-approved option. Get an ultrasonic toothbrush for the best results possible. Buy a cheap electric toothbrush to have something disposable. Grab a themed toothbrush for kids.
