In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Prevention can be the easiest way to stop your dog from chewing inappropriately, so remove its temptations. Place any objects your dog likes to chew (or might chew) out of its reach: in a cabinet, high off the floor, in a bag or box, etc.  Objects such as remote controls, shoes, and books are common temptations for dogs that like to chew. Poisonous plants, electrical cords, cleaners, and any other hazardous objects should also be kept out of your dog’s reach. Your dog may not understand if you offer it items to chew that are very similar to items you do not want it chewing. For instance, if you offer your dog an old shoe to chew on, it might be confused about why you don’t want it to chew on your new shoes. For the best chance of reducing your dog’s inappropriate chewing behavior (and saving your possessions), and avoid treats and toys that resemble things you don’t want it to chew. You may notice that your dog resorts to chewing when you are not around. If this is the case, you may consider keeping it confined in a pen, dog crate, or other area while you are gone. You can also use baby gates to keep a dog out of rooms or areas that contain items it is tempted to chew. In addition, you can supervise your dog while you are at home. Even keeping your dog on a leash while you are at home to ensure it doesn’t chew inappropriately can help condition it and encourage positive behavior over time. If you're willing to put in a little extra time and effort, it's possible to teach your dog a handy command that can save your possessions in cases where you catch it chewing on them. To teach this command, use the following steps:  Get two small treats and hide one in each fist. Get the dog's attention with one treat, then sharply tell your dog, "leave it" (referring to the object it is chewing). Don't let the dog have the treat. Let it sniff and lick at your hand, but don't let the treat go. Ignore your dog if it starts to bark or whine. As soon as it loses interest in your hand, however, offer it the treat from the other hand and give it lavish praise. Repeat this process until your dog moves away from your hand as soon as you say "leave it." This teaches your dog that ignoring whatever it wants to bite or chew on is better than chewing on that thing. Be persistent; do this over and over, and your dog should get the hang of this command.
Summary: Keep objects you don’t want your dog chewing out of its reach. Don’t offer your dog confusing items to chew. Supervise your dog, and keep it separated from things you don’t want it to chew, if necessary. Teach your dog the "leave it" command.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Make a part down the center of your head, starting in the middle by your forehead and continuing all the way back to the nape of your neck. Pull the sections forward over your shoulders. Tie a hair band over the entire section, and slide the ties down until they're just above where you want your final length to be.  If you have shorter hair, use clips to section your hair into two or more pieces, and place a clip just above where you want to cut. At first, aim to trim off an inch or two less than you plan to ultimately cut. You'll probably have to cut more as you even out the length, and you don't want to end up with too-short hair. You can always remove more later. Chop your hair in a straight line. Use multiple cuts to get all the way through the section. This will leave you with blunt-cut ends. If you want to thin out the ends of your hair and make them look more blended, cut upwards into each section, at a slight angle. Remove your hair ties or clips and visually assess your hair. If you see any extra long strands, give them a quick chop. Use two mirrors to look at the back of your hair and straighten out any uneven edges.  Make sure your hair is the same length on both sides of your head. Pull strands of hair from each side forward and verify that they're the same length. You may need to put your hair back in sections and cut a little bit more off of one side. If you're having difficulty getting all of your hair to be one even length, you can also try gathering up all of your hair into a ponytail on top of your head and cutting the ends. This will add some layers into your hair as well. Use clips if your hair is too short for a ponytail.
Summary: Divide your hair in half into two sections. Put hair ties on each section where you want to make a cut. Cut the sections off under your hair tie. Undo the sections and tidy up the length.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: . You should always backup important files before wiping (or erasing) your hard drive. Erasing your hard drive will make recovering your files challenging and you do not want to lose anything important. If your computer contained any sensitive documents, photos or information which could be used to steal your identity, you will want to use a more secure method of removing your data. DBAN (or Darik’s Boot and Nuke) is a commonly used, free program used to securely erase your hard drive. It also works for Macs running at least OS X. If it is not, follow these instructions. When the computer boots from the disk, the easiest method to wipe the computer will be to type in either “dodshort” for a simple wipe or “dod” for something stronger (leave off the quotation marks for both). Both are the standard erasing methods for the Department of Defense and are very secure. You can use the interactive mode if you want more wiping options. Once you’ve entered your preferred method, hit enter. You’re done: it will start wiping. You will, however, need to reinstall an operating system and restore your files.  It will take a VERY long time. Don’t worry. It’s normal.
Summary:
Backup your system before doing anything Use DBAN. Make sure your computer is set to boot from a CD. Type “dodshort”. Hit enter.
