Avoid sticking your fingers through the bars of the cage. If your guinea pig feels threatened, it will lash out and your fingers will be the perfect target. Don’t give it the chance to do any damage. You will inevitably come into contact with your guinea pig. Wash your hands to get rid of any odors that the guinea pig may not like such as, dog and cat scents. Guinea pigs have a keen sense of smell and an instinctual fear of scents they associate with danger. Since cats and dogs can pose a threat, they might react negatively to those smells.  On the off chance that your guinea pig has an insatiable appetite, make sure that you wash your hands to remove any food odors. You don’t want your guinea pig to confuse your fingers for their meal. You might consider wearing gloves until you are confident that your guinea pig won’t bite you. Biting results primarily from fear, but there are several other biological and environmental reasons for such behavior.  Pain can cause biting. You might be hurting the guinea pig or there might be a deeper physiological issue. Sometimes, guinea pigs will bite you when they mean to nibble on themselves. This can be an indicator of mites or fleas.  If discomfort or pain is a concern, contact your veterinarian for an exam right away. If your pig is nibbling/biting while you are holding it, it may need to get down to urinate. So, if that is the case, put it back in the cage and watch what it does next. If the pig urinates, you have your answer.  Non-neutered male guinea pigs may show dominance by biting more than females or neutered male guinea pigs. Consider neutering your guinea pig.  However there is no guarantee that neutering will stop the biting completely. Dominance is not solely based on testosterone levels.  If your guinea pig is biting the bars of its cage, it could mean that the animal is lonely and wants attention. It might not be exhibiting menacing behavior, but calling out for attention. Approach carefully.

Summary: Keep yourself safe. Wash your hands. Understand a guinea pig’s reasons for biting.


The amount of car recycling options you have will vary greatly based on where you live. Conduct a web search for automotive recycling. Ask your mechanic which automotive recycling service they would most recommend. Look at user reviews of these services and find a few that seem professional and convenient. You can also sell your own car part by part, but it is easier and safer to go through an alternative service. You would need to take the parts out of your own car or go through many different buyers. This process is a possibility, but not the safest or most efficient way to recycle your car. Some charities will take cars, sell them to automotive recycling services, use the money for charity, and then give you a tax deduction. Look at your state or country’s tax laws to get an idea of how much money you would be able to claim on your taxes. Seek the help of an accountant if you are confused. Keep all documents from the recycling transaction in one place so that you can find them easily when it is time to do your taxes or you need to give them to your accountant. Every car recycling service is different, but many of them will include services that make it easy for you to recycle your car and reap the benefits of doing so. Here are some services that car recycling services might provide:  Free quotes Dealing with paperwork (transferring the title, registration, etc.) Pickup Cash vs. check payoff Tax deductions (and help with that paperwork) The Automotive Recyclers Association, an international organization that provides standards and best practices for recycling cars, gives out a Certified Automotive Recycler (CAR) certification to businesses that uphold their safety and environmental standards. Contact potential car recycling services (or look on their websites) to see if they have this certification or perhaps another certification. You want to ensure that your car will be recycled well and in accordance with the best standards and practices.

Summary: Research three to five automotive recycling services in your area. Research charities who will take your car. Look at the services the recycling services provide. Make sure that the recycling service is accredited for its environmental practices.


You can still find the perimeter of a compound rectangle as long as you have at least one full length or full width and at least three of the minor width or length measurements.  For an “L”-shaped compound rectangle, use the formula P = L + W + l1 + l2 + w1 + w2  In this formula, P stands for “perimeter.” The uppercase L and W stand for the full lengths and widths of the entire compound shape. The lowercase ls and ws stand for the smaller lengths and widths in the compound shape. Example: L = 14 centimeter (5.5 in), l1 = 5 centimeter (2.0 in), w1 = 4 centimeter (1.6 in), w2 = 6 centimeter (2.4 in); missing: W, l2 In this example, the full length, L, will be equal to the sum of l1 and l2. Likewise, the full width, W, will be equal to the sum of w1 and w2. Using this knowledge, add and subtract the measurements you do have to find the two missing measurements. Example: L = l1 + l2; W = w1 + w2  L = l1 + l2 14 = 5 + l2 14 – 5 = l2 9 = l2 W = w1 + w2 W = 4 + 6 W = 10 Once you have subtracted to find your missing measurements, you can add all of your sides together to find the perimeter of the compound rectangle. Now, you’ll use the original perimeter formula. P = L + W + l1 + l2 + w1 + w2 = 14 + 10 + 5 + 9 + 4 + 6 = 48 centimeter (18.9 in)

Summary: Organize the information you do have. Use the measurements you have to find the missing side measurements. Add your sides together.


Microsoft Word and Excel are the only two Office 365 programs in which you can create macros by recording steps. Click the Blank option in the upper-left side of the window to create a new, blank document, or select a document from your computer. You can also double-click a document to open it in its respective program (e.g., double-clicking a Word document will open it in Word). As long as you enabled it in the last part, this tab should be at the top of the window. It's in the top-left side of the window in the Developer toolbar. This process will vary slightly depending on your selected program:   Word — Enter a name for the macro, select All documents as the "Store macro in" value, and click OK.  Excel — Enter a name for the macro, add a keyboard shortcut if you like, select This Workbook as the "Store macro in" value, and click OK. Once you click OK, any steps you take (e.g., clicks, typed text, etc.) will be added to your macro. It's in the Developer toolbar. This will save your macro and add it to your document's macro list. You can implement the macro by clicking Macros, selecting your macro's name, and clicking Run.
Summary: Make sure you have Word or Excel open. Open a document. Click Developer. Click Record Macro. Enter your macro's information. Record your macro. Click Stop Recording.
