There are a number of reasons why a dog may be excessively shy around people.  Some dogs are frightened or shy around people because they were not properly socialized as puppies.  Some dogs are simply prone to anxious behavior, and will always be shy around people for no real reason. If your dog is shy whenever he meets new people, expose him gradually, but make sure that he is having exposure. If your dog clings to you whenever other people are around, try to ignore his pleas for attention. Eventually your dog will realize that he will not be rewarded with attention or affection until he is willing to interact with other people. Some dogs are shy because they never learned how to interact with people. If your dog is shy of humans but gets along well with other dogs, try having your shy dog spend time with a more social dog. Your dog may, over time, learn from his canine companion how to behave around humans. Once the dog has shown some progress in being around other people, have someone he is becoming more comfortable around offer him food. This should only be done with dogs that do not exhibit signs of food aggression, for the safety of all parties involved.  Have the person crouch low or sit on the floor. While avoiding eye contact, have the person hold out the dog's bowl with food in it. Do not force the dog to come eat; let the dog come when he is ready. Reward your dog with treats and verbal praise every time he comes out of his shell enough to interact with other people. Rewards should be given immediately, to help establish the reward as being related to his behavior.

Comprende por qué los perros son tímidos. Expón al perro lentamente. Trata de socializarlo con otro perro. Haz que alguien con quien tu perro se ponga tímido le ofrezca comida. Sé paciente y constante.


There are a number of specific hazards in your home that you can deal with before an earthquake occurs. The biggest danger is actually from falling objects inside your house. Luckily, these sorts of injuries can be prevented with some forethought:  Fasten all shelves securely to the walls.  Use brackets to attach wall units, bookcases, and other tall furniture to wall studs. Standard steel brackets are fine and easy to apply. Place large, heavy objects on lower shelves or on the floor. They might fall during an earthquake and the less distance they have to fall, the better. You can also screw objects onto things, such as a desk.  Use non-slip mats to prevent objects with a low center of gravity from sliding. For example, fish bowls, vases, floral arrangements, statues, etc. Use an invisible nylon cord to secure tall, heavy items that can topple over to the wall. Place an eye screw in the wall, and tie the thread around the object (such as a vase) and then tie it to the eye screw. In a last-minute pinch, placing masking tape across the diagonals (in an "X") of your windows can keep them from shattering. Most earthquake prone areas will already require these windows, but you should check to make sure. Lock or latch them up so that the cabinet doors cannot fly open. Use poster tack/plastic putty to keep ornaments, figurines, and glassware adhered to shelves and mantelpieces. There are even special commercial quake putties available, allowing you to secure objects in place securely. Heavy pictures, light fixtures, and mirrors should be hung away from beds, couches, and anywhere that someone might sit. Conventional picture hooks will not hold pictures during an earthquake, but they are easy to fix - simply push the hook closed, or use a filler material to fill the gap between the hook and its backing. Other alternatives include buying special art hooks and ensuring that heavy paintings have adequate, strong hooks and cord. A landlord or your local zoning board can help you determine this. If you have any deep...

There are a number of strategies that you can employ to get the word out about your new store. Begin by developing a marketing plan. Determine how much you want to spend on marketing, how exactly you want to market and who you want to market to. Your marketing strategy should reflect the marketing research you did earlier.  You may want to create business cards or flyers to highlight your new business. Develop an internet presence. Even if you are opening a traditional used bookstore you will want to have a website where people can learn about your store and what it offers. Get your store on social media. Try facebook, twitter, google plus, and more. Talk to friends who own their own business and find out how they market their stores. It can be very advantageous to frequent book fairs. Get on book fair mailing lists to stay informed of where they are held. When one is in your area set up a booth. A booth will help get word of your store out to potential customers. Do a quick internet search for upcoming book fairs in your region. Attend them all! Nothing is better than word of mouth. Do your absolute best to make your customer feel valued and appreciated. Go out of your way to cater to their demands. By doing this you stand a good chance of gaining a repeat customer and of that customer referring a friend.  Offer incentives for customers who come back. A 'thank you' goes a long way!

There are a number of treatments available for different kinds of fungal rash. Some of them are available without a prescription (over the counter, or OTC), and may be cheaper options than prescription medication. Your doctor can advise you if these treatments are likely to help, or write a prescription if necessary. When fungal rash is already present and the area is still warm and moist, it can worsen the condition and aggravate your symptoms. Buy an antifungal powder that can be used daily. Powder prevents moisture from accumulating by absorbing it and keeping the surface of the skin dry at all times. Baby powder can be used in shoes to keep your feet dry during the day, especially if you work in wet conditions, or your feet sweat a lot. Ketoconazole cream, an OTC drug available at any local pharmacy, is widely used to treat all forms of fungal rashes. This medication works by slowing the growth of the fungi that is infecting the skin. You can apply this cream once a day for 2 to 6 weeks until the rash totally goes away. Other common antifungal creams include:  Clotrimazole, which is sold under the brand names Canesten and Lotrimin. This is also an OTC medication that is used to treat a wide variety of fungal infections, especially yeast infections. It can be applied 2-3 times a day for 4 weeks. Terbinafine, sold under the brand name Lamisil. This can also be bought without a prescription. It can be taken in cream or powder form for skin infections. There is a tablet form for fungal nail infections. Lamisil can be applied for 2 to 3 days. In some severe cases, fungal rash can become worse, even after trying various home and OTC remedies. If that is the case, your doctor can write a prescription. In addition to creams and powders, some of these prescriptions are taken as pills, or injected directly into the bloodstream intravenously.

There are a number of ways that you can do this. Have fun with this part of the project!  Build a rope ladder Build a ladder using 2 12-foot 2x4s and 2 8-foot 2x3s. Place the 2x4s side by side in perfect symmetry, marking off where each rung should go. Cut out 2x3 notches about 1 1⁄8 inches (2.9 cm) deep into both sides of the 2x4s. Cut the 2x3s the appropriate length for rungs and glue them into their notches with wood glue. Secure your rungs with deck screws and wait for the glue to dry. Stain your ladder to give it a nice hue and protect it from the elements. This roof is made from a simple tarp, although you can also get more elaborate in designing and constructing your roof. Drive one hook into both trunks about 8 feet (2.4 m) above the bottom of the platform. String a bungee cord between the two hooks and slip a tarp overhead. Next, build four outriggers several feet high and attach them to the four corners of your railing. Nail the tarp to the four corners of the outriggers, securing with a washer. Now your roof should have a better overhang. If you want to weatherproof your treehouse, or just give it a more appealing look, now's the time to stain or paint it. Consider a stain or paint that will work in combination with your house.

There are a number of ways you learn about mold on wood floors. If you are suffering from mold exposure, you may experience headaches, itchy eyes, breathing problems, or difficulty concentrating. Mold emits a gas that gives it a musty smell. If you notice this smell, you likely have mold, even if it is not visible in your house. The mold may be somewhere not immediately visible, such as in your walls, under carpets, or in a crawlspace or heating duct. If mold is growing beneath your floors, it will eventually cause the floorboards themselves to begin to twist and warp. If there is any sign of warping of the wood, this means your mold problem is pretty far along. If the mold causing the warping isn’t caught and removed promptly, the warped floor may need to be removed. This process is time-consuming and expensive.

There are a number of web services through which you can find names, addresses, ages, and records: marriage, employment, and legal histories. Some sites are free, and some charge a small service fee. Compare low-cost and no-cost search options, and find something that suits your purposes. You can also run a reverse phone number search if you have a phone number that's connected to your family member.  Try a White Page search through Metacrawler's http://metacrawler.intelius.com/ page. This can be a useful tool if you think you know the town or a few possible towns where your family member might be living. Use commercial websites such as http://www.publicpeoplefinder.com/Family-Member-Finder.shtml, http://www.ussearch.com/others/consumer/services/findFamilyMembers.html, or http://www.ancestry.com/. You usually need to pay a service charge to use these websites, but they also tend to give you more information than free sites. Check out free people-search websites like FamilySearch.org, which is a service provided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Check out the free resources at http://www.myheritage.com/family-tree-builder?gclid=CMGsrLq-_qcCFYS8KgodpGINqQ. You can search for people on Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter, Instagram, and most other networks, although you may need to search through long lists of people with common names. You may be able to refine your search if you know the person's email address, their community, or their schools.  If you are looking for a specific person, search for his or her full name. Try searching for nicknames and variations in addition to full legal names. For example, if you are trying to find Bob Shovels, try searching for "Robert" and "Bobby" in addition to "Bob". Search for any variations that you know a person has used. If you suspect that someone you know might be Facebook friends with the person you are trying to find, try looking through their friend list.

There are a ton of welcoming lines in Czech, but these are the two easiest ones to use. The other seven or so options are for specific cases, but these two will work almost anywhere.  Vítej -- "Vee-tai" Vítejte -- "Vee-tai-ta" Simple and easy, it is the sort of thing that sounds just like an English "welcome." However, turn the W to a V and add the word "men" to the end. "Vel-koh-men." Almost exactly like the English version, but with a little harder final syllable. It sounds a bit like "comb." Wel-comb. Simple and easy, it literally means "Good to see you." When saying the final "U" sound, try to pucker your lips a bit. To learn how, say an "EEEE" sound, then move your lips into a U shape. This "e-ooo" is the French U. "Bee-ehn-ven-oo. Like the Danish (the are related languages), this is similar to the English version. However, you again want to sound out the W more like a V. Another language with multiple, difficult versions, these two will get you started in any circumstance. Note that, while there is an "sh" sound, you want to keep it subtle, almost burying it in the rest of the word.  Καλώς Ορίσατε -- "Kah-losh o-rees-a-teh" Καλώς Όρισες -- "Kah-losh o-reese-is"  Similar to the French version, but easier to pronounce. If you're speaking to a woman, replace the final "O" with an "A." "Ben-ven-oo-to." Again, replace the "O" with an "A" if speaking to a female. Note that these are two separate words. Beem Veen-doh Almost identical to the French and Portugese, as they come from similar linguistic roots (Latin). "Bee-ehn-ven-ee-doh."  Put it in the box with Dutch, German, and the others. Keep it simple and replace the W with a V, and add the "men" to the normal English "welcome!" "Vel-koh-men." This is the closest "living" relative of English. It makes speaking super easy -- so just match it close to the normal "Welcome," but use a longer O sound at the end (like in the word "comb." "Wel-comb" Another tricky one -- but you have this! Kale is just like vegetable, but with an "A" sound at the end. The rest...

There are a total of 14 vowels in Icelandic, and all of them can be either long or short. Vowels in single-syllable words are always long. Vowels are also long when followed by a single consonant, or by particular consonant combinations (p, t, or k combined with r, j, or v).  Some vowels have a mark over top of them (á, é, í, ó, and ú). This mark is not an accent mark, like the ones you may be familiar with if you speak French or Spanish. These are separate vowels with their own sounds. The Icelandic rock band Sigur Rós has a pronunciation guide available on their website that lists the pronunciation of all the vowels. Visit https://sigur-ros.co.uk/band/pronunci.php to access the guide. The Icelandic alphabet includes two consonants that are not apart of the regular Latin alphabet with which you're likely familiar. Both of these consonants are actually pronounced the similarly.   Ð/ð is pronounced like the th in the words they or them.  Þ/þ is also pronounced with a th sound. If you don't have the character on your keyboard, you can replace it with a th when typing an Icelandic word. It never occurs at the end of a word. Most of the consonants in Icelandic sound the same as they do in English. However, some do make a different sound, and others sound different when combined with another consonant.   G/g at the beginning of a word is pronounced like the hard English G, as in golf. A g occurring in the middle of a word is a soft g sound, like in the English words design or thing. It basically disappears, but it's not considered silent. There are no silent letters in Icelandic.  H/h usually sounds the same as in English. However, when paired with a v, it has a k sound. This pairing is present in basic Icelandic question words, such as hvað (what), hver (who), hvenær (when), and hvernig (how). The letter J/j is pronounced like the letter y in English, or the same way it's pronounced in Spanish. You can use the word jójó to remember this – it's the Icelandic word for yo-yo, and pronounced exactly that same way....

There are a variety of different computer software programs that can be used for making a wedding program. Familiarize yourself with a few programs and decide on the one that you like the best. Some common programs include:  Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator Adobe InDesign MS Publisher Pages (for Mac users) Many websites have free downloadable templates that you can use to make your wedding program. You can then add some custom finishes to give the program your own personal touch.  Search online for a free wedding program template. If you decide not to use a template, organize the program in chronological order. Begin by introducing the bride a groom, followed by the order of the ceremony, and end with a quick thank you note to all your guests. Make sure that you thoroughly edit your program before printing. You don’t want to print 200 copies only to find that you have misspelled the name of your husband-to-be! It is a good idea to print your program on a thick paper. A variety of colors and thicknesses are available at your local office supply store. In order to ensure that the formatting and colors are correct, you should print one program first and then make adjustments as needed. Have your programs printed at a local print shop, if you don't have the supplies to print all of the programs from home. Depending on the style of program you have selected, you may need to fold the programs once the ink has had a few seconds to dry. Take your time to carefully line up the two sides before making a crisp and straight crease. Some styles to consider include:  Traditional card centre fold (vertical or horizontal). Brochure style (three folds). Single sheet printed on front and back (no fold).

There are a variety of different herbicides on the market. Make sure you select one specifically designed to get rid of kudzu plants. You want something with the active ingredients glyphosate and triclopyr, as these chemicals are effective at killing kudzu. The following commercial products have been proven effective for the treatment of kudzu:  Bayer Advanced Brush Killer Plus Concentrate Ortho Max Poison Ivy and Tough Brush Killer Concentrate Roundup Concentrate Poison Ivy Plus Tough Brush Killer Roundup Pro Roundup Pro Concentrate Herbicides can be dangerous to the bare skin. Make sure to wear protective gear, like safety goggles and protective gloves, before treating kudzu with herbicide. You should also read the instruction manual on any herbicide you purchase. Some herbicides must be diluted in water before use. The instruction manual will also provide you with useful information on how to safely apply your chosen herbicide. Spring is a great time to apply treatment because kudzu will be vulnerable from its winter dormancy. Treat the kudzu again in the late summer, and repeat the two treatments annually until the plant is dead. Keep in mind that the plant won’t die from a single treatment. You may have a small kudzu outbreak. A tiny amount of kudzu may be creeping up on a fence, for example. As you want to limit the use of herbicide as much as you can, do not aggressively treat small outbreaks. Instead, spot spray with a backpack sprayer. Spray towards the ground from which the kudzu spreads. You can also use spot treatment as a follow up treatment after you've targeted large patches of kudzu. In the event you have large patches of kudzu growing on the ground, you'll want to spray in a crosshatch pattern. A crosshatch pattern is marked by a series of intersecting parallel lines. Spray roughly half the solution in one direction in straight lines. Then, spray and half the solution in the other direction in lines perpendicular to the first. Kudzu is rarely eradicated with a single treatment. In order to...

There are a variety of different reasons someone asks you to write a progress report. Obviously for any of them it's to show what kind of progress you've achieved on a specific project. However, there are some different types of proposals that you'll need to consider.  Progress report for a research program or project is going to be slightly different than for a project at work. In this case you are more likely to need to cite information and are less likely to need to consider things like cost (although not always). A work report for a client is going to read somewhat differently than for a superior at work. You'll need to consider why you're writing this report for them. When you've sorted out the purpose of writing your progress report, you need to consider the kinds of things that your audience is going to need to know in the report. While all progress reports have general things they tend to include, you'll need consider the specifics:  How are your readers connected to the project? How will the outcome of the project affect them? (The connection and how they're affected is going to be different for your superior than for the client, for example.) Consider what decision your readers are going to need to make after reading the progress report (what support, money, time are they investing, for example. Consider the information your reader is going to need to know to oversee and participate in the project effectively. What technical aspects of the project will they need to know. Are they comfortable with technical jargon? A progress report isn't only a written document that you send to your superior or your professor. It can take a number of forms depending on what is needed.  A progress report could be a brief oral report at weekly or monthly staff meetings. It could be periodic emails to colleagues.

There are a variety of different wall types, including drywall, plaster, and masonry. A particularly heavy mirror will need a stronger backing like masonry to stay in place. The wall's material will also determine how big your screws and anchors need to be. Make sure you have a good idea of what your mirror weighs, which will help you get the right size hooks. Hanging hooks have a weight limit on them, and if you go over it, your mirror will fall off the wall, break, and probably damage your wall in the process. A bathroom scale should be enough to get a good weight. Make sure you have enough space on the wall for the mirror, and otherwise decide how you want it positioned relative to other items on the wall and in the room. Hold your mirror up to the wall to see how much space it will take up.  Finding a stud can be useful, but not necessary if you have a strong enough hanger.  Once you have a good place, mark where the top of your mirror will go with a pencil or some painters tape so you'll be able to measure for the hangers. You can also use those pencil marks and a level to make sure your mirror will be straight. If your mirror is too large to hold up easily and mark at the same time, measure it with some measuring tape or a yardstick, and see how those dimensions fit. Your mirror should already have something on the back that it can hang with, either a wire or D-rings. In both cases, you should be sure to mark where the hanger will go, not the screw. You won't be hanging your mirror from the screw.  If you have a hanger wire, probably only on a smaller mirror, you will only need one hole. Measure the width of your mirror, and mark a point in the middle of that line. Take the wire in your picture, and hold it taut from the center to measure the distance from the top of wire to the frame. Then, transfer that measurement to your markings on the wall so you know where to put the hanger. If you have D-rings, they will be fastened to the mirror, and not move. Measure how far apart your fasteners are from one...

There are a variety of factors that could potentially be causing your speakers to sound distorted or fuzzy. Mismatched equipment is one of the most common factors. Check that the amplifier and receiver support the ohms that the speakers draw, and that the speakers can handle the wattage output of the amplifier. Check the documentation for all of your equipment to ensure that everything matches. If you've accidentally swapped the positive and negative wires on your speakers, you likely will not hear anything coming out of them. Double check all of your connections, and ensure that the black cables are inserted in black clips, while the red cables are inserted in the red clips.  If the speaker is too far away and you aren't using a proper gauge wire, you can experience a lot of distortion. Try to move the speaker closer to the receiver and then shorten the wire, or run newer, lower-gauge wire. Crossed wires can short out your speakers and cause serious damage. Make sure the black and red wires are not touching when bare at the ends. Check that the speakers are not physically damaged. A blown-out speaker can sound terrible, so ensure that the woofers on the speaker aren't torn. If you see any physical damage, try replacing the speaker.

There are a variety of fields for nurses to practice, including pediatrics, adults, OB/GYN, geriatrics, community health, occupational health, rehabilitation, surgery, neonatal, intensive care, and emergency. You will likely have already started thinking about this during your RN educational training. Each RN program gives their nursing students clinical rotations through which they gain experience in these various areas of the hospital and community.  Nursing students may have a full semester in a particular clinical rotation, such as pediatrics, adult or community health. They will also experience several hours in an intensive care unit, emergency room and neonatal unit. Not all schools will give nurses rotations through a physical rehabilitation unit for patients following strokes or spinal cord injuries. Most schools will expect that nurses get experience with geriatric care while caring for adults. Once you know what field of nursing you'd like to work in, you can apply for jobs in that field. Even after completing the required education and certification, nurses should continue to read medical journals, be aware of the policies of the healthcare organization they work for, and take additional courses in medicine. Scientific and medical knowledge and technologies are constantly changing and evolving and so staying up-to-date is key to providing effective healthcare. The term advanced practice registered nurse is an umbrella term used for nurses who have achieved at least a master’s degree in nursing (MSN). The academic program to become an advanced practice nurse is one to two academic years, depending upon the specialty, school, and your previous work experience. There are four main advanced practice settings in which nurses can practice under this APRN umbrella:   Clinical Nurse Specialist. These nurses typically work in hospitals, clinics and nursing homes. They handle a wide variety of physical and mental health problems and may work within the fields of research, education and administration.  Nurse...

There are a variety of foods in the typical American or Western diet that should be limited or avoided due to their link to heart disease.  Trans fats in particular are one of the worst foods for your heart.  The majority of trans fats are very processed and are a man-made fat.  Very few trans fats occur naturally.  They're typically labeled as "hydrogenated oil" or "partially hydrogenated oils" on the food label. These fats are considered the worst by health professionals.  They raise your LDL (or bad cholesterol) and decrease your HDL (good cholesterol).  The most common sources of trans fat are:  fried foods, fast foods, baked goods and pastries, creamer and margarine, pre-made cookie dough or biscuit dough, and snack foods like chips, crackers or buttery popcorn. There is no safe limit for trans fats.  You want to avoid them as much as possible. Saturated fat is another type of fat that health professionals typically want limited in your diet.  Although not considered as unhealthy as trans fats, it's still important to limit your total saturated fat intake.  Unlike trans fats, saturated fats occur naturally.  They typically occur in animal products like full-fat dairy products, fatty red meat, skin on poultry and fatty cuts of pork.  Saturated fat has been shown to increase your LDL levels (the bad cholesterol); however, it does not affect your HDL levels.  Some studies have also shown that high quantities of saturated fat may increase your risk for type 2 diabetes.  Health professionals recommend limiting your total saturated fat intake to less than 10% of your total calories.  If you're eating 2,000 calories daily, you shouldn't consume more than 22 g of saturated fat daily. In addition to limiting saturated fats and cutting out trans fats, it's also important to moderate your total sodium intake.  Although sodium doesn't have a direct effect on your heart, other conditions it causes do.  A high sodium diet can lead to high blood pressure and stroke.  High blood pressure can severely damage your heart...

There are a variety of growth serums that you can purchase at your local pharmacy, beauty shop, or department store. These products are advertised to increase the thickness and fullness of your eyelashes. They often contain various ingredients such as natural peptides, vitamins, and oils. Review the label on each product to see what it contains, or ask a specialist at a beauty salon or cosmetic shop for recommendations.  Look for products that contain prostaglandin analogs. These are ophthalmic solutions that  many think may help with eyelash growth. However, their safety and efficacy have not been scientifically proven.  Products that contain keratin, a protein that promotes cell growth, have been praised for supporting hair growth and strength. Consider trying eyelash serums that contain this protein.  Some products are sold as regular mascara with additional oils and vitamins that support healthy eyelashes. There are many eyelash growth serums on the market that you can buy over-the-counter. Since these are considered cosmetics by the FDA, their success rate, safety, and efficacy have not been completed evaluated. Before using an over-the-counter product, talk to your doctor or ophthalmologist to see if using these products is safe for you. Over-the-counter eyelash serums are typically sold with a mascara wand applicator or a small brush applicator. The small brush allows you to more easily apply the product directly to the root of your upper lash line, but the mascara wand applicator allows you to coat you upper and lower eyelashes from root to tip. Perhaps a mascara wand applicator would be easier for on-the-go, fast application. A small brush may be great for those who wish to thoroughly apply the product to each root. Think about which applicator would be easier for you to use on a day-to-day basis. Over-the-counter eyelash growth serums that are sold at everyday shops and pharmacies can cost between $8 and $20.

There are a variety of reasons why you may feel like your life sucks. If you experience a lot of daily stress, you may feel anxious or depressed. You may even have physical symptoms such as headaches or insomnia. Common sources of stress include:  Major life changes. If you're going through a period of upheaval, such as getting out of a relationship (or getting into one), changing your job, moving to a new place, etc., you're probably experiencing stress. New situations and life changes aren't very easy to adjust to, but you will make it if you keep the faith and have a positive, hopeful attitude. Family. If your family life is in disarray, you may feel upset, sad, or anxious. Perhaps you have a dysfunctional family, suicidal parents or have to take care of an elderly or sick family member. Work/School. Work or school obligations are a huge source of stress for most people. If you feel unappreciated at work or school, or stuck at a dead-end job, you may feel like your life sucks. Social life. If you're feeling isolated or disconnected, you may feel like your life sucks. Or, if you feel anxious about meeting new people or hanging out in social situations, you may experience stress if you have to do these things. One way to figure out a possible cause for your feelings is to identify when you feel them. Keeping a journal will also allow you to identify what elements of your situation you have control over, which will help you stay positive. In general, you should remember that you cannot control anything other than your own actions and responses.  For example, you might notice that you feel most upset and sad when you're at work. You may feel unacknowledged and unappreciated. You may feel overworked. This situation sucks. Ask yourself what elements you have control over. You can't control whether others appreciate or acknowledge your contributions. However, you might be able to be more assertive about owning your accomplishments. You can control whether you say "yes" to every project that crosses your desk. You...

There are a variety of tax issues which may emerge for you after purchasing a home in Florida.  Double taxation, estate/gift taxes, and income tax issues all come into play when purchasing a Florida property.  If you hold the home as an individual owner, your heirs will be charged an estate tax. Income tax can be reported at a low rate if you’re renting the property. Double taxation is generally avoidable as a single homeowner.  If a separate tax identification number is not created for you in the US, you will probably not have to pay US taxes. Again, all laws and financial regulations differ dependent on the buyer’s country of origin.  Most tax treaties, however, conform to the above standards. If you speak English proficiently and are familiar with US customs, you’ll have no problem purchasing a home in Florida.  However, in 2014 only 37% of foreign buyers reported they had not had any problems due to linguistic or cultural barriers when buying a home in Florida.  Your agent should be fluent in English, and you should also get a third party to look over any contracts or English-language buying offers you submit.  Your third party reviewer might see issues you or the agent did not.  Having them check it will ensure you don’t have problems later. A real estate lawyer is not required by law to execute property sales in the US.  However, consulting such an individual can help you avoid pitfalls or potential points of confusion. 80% of all foreign buyers in a recent study paid with cash.  This is because it is challenging for American creditors to investigate a foreign buyer’s credit rating, leaving them unable to obtain a mortgage.  Paying cash means you need to have the entire amount ready to pay at closing.  The benefit is that you don’t have to deal with paying off the loan and attendant interest.  However, it can be difficult to obtain such a large sum.  Financing is occasionally available to foreign buyers.  The HSBC (a banking and financial services company in Britain), for instance, now offers 30-year...

There are a variety of things that can cause cold sores and it's a good idea to be extra vigilant if you are susceptible to them. Even stress and lack of sleep can cause cold sores, so try to get a good night's sleep.  If you come down with a cold, fever or flu, your risk of an outbreak may increase because your immune system is compromised. Make sure you're getting all your necessary vitamins and eating healthfully. Menses, pregnancy, hormonal changes, and even sunlight can cause a cold sore to act up. Stress may trigger cold sore outbreaks, so do everything you can to relax. Set some time aside each day to meditate, take deep breaths or simply have a cup of tea, whatever works for you. Fatigue triggers outbreaks, so make sure you get plenty of sleep. Take naps if you need to Too much exposure to the sun can aggravate the area and cause cold sores to emerge.

Also, look for a lipstick or lip balm with sun protection of SPF 15 or higher and apply it frequently throughout the day. Know the signs so you can act before your cold sore has a chance to form.   Tenderness, tingling, burning, itching, numbness and pain around your lips may mean a cold sore is forming.  Fevers and other cold and flu symptoms often accompany cold sores, hence the nickname “fever blisters.” Cold sores usually arrive with a warning period of red, irritated skin. Blisters form, burst, and then crust over before they heal. It is in its prodromal stage for 6 to 48 hours before it becomes visible. During this time, you may use the following methods to prevent the sore from surfacing. This is the best time to stop it, rather than having to wait once it gets big and nasty!  Ice it or apply a cold compress. Do this hourly, or as frequently as possible. Steep a teabag in hot water, let it cool and then hold it against the afflicted area. Cold sores thrive in heat, so be sure to let the tea bag cool beforehand. Apply lip balm with sun protection of...

The report will detail the specifications of the car as it was produced by the manufacturer.  The VIN report should include options, such as the transmission, the trim, and emissions specifications.

There are a wide variety of different emergency contraceptive pills that contain levonorgestrel (the hormone that can prevent pregnancy) available at pharmacies and drug stores. Some are available over-the-counter to anyone, regardless of age or gender, but others require a prescription in some cases.  There are one-pill and two-pill options available, both of which are equally effective. The one-pill option is available to anyone without a prescription, while the two-pill option requires a prescription for patients under 17 and requires a photo ID. If you need a prescription, visit your doctor's office, a walk-in clinic, an urgent care center, or a women's health clinic as soon as possible to get one. Although it may be uncomfortable, consider talking to your parents and getting their help. If you do not need a prescription, simply visit your local pharmacy to purchase emergency contraception (also called "the morning after pill"). Go as soon as you can after unprotected sex. While the morning after pill can be taken up to 72 hours after unprotected sex, it is more effective the sooner you take it.  Some stores keep the pills in locked boxes or behind the counter, so you may have to ask an employee for help. It's a good idea to call your local pharmacy to find out if they stock emergency contraceptives, as not all of them do. Depending on what brand of pill you buy and where you buy it, you should expect to spend between $35 and $50 at a drug store. If you cannot afford this, you may be able to get the same pill for cheaper at a health clinic like Planned Parenthood. Your insurance may cover this form of emergency contraceptives, but probably only if you have a prescription from your doctor. Over-the-counter pills are available under many different brand names, some of which are one-step pills and some of which are two-step pills. While they are all equally effective, it is important to read the instructions carefully to understand when you should take each pill.  If you use a one-step pill, you should take...

There are a wide variety of plastics out there and each type has different properties, including whether it can be melted. For example, look for a number 5 in a triangle on the plastic. This is type PP plastic, also known as Polypropylene, which can be heated and then will reconstitute when it cools. However, styrofoam, which can be identified by its light and airy consistency, will disintegrate when heated. Avoid melting this type of plastic. Heat guns are typically used to strip paint or soften putty but they can also be used to melt plastic. They are available at home improvement and hardware stores. They can also be purchased from online retailers.  Heat guns typically have low and high settings. The low setting heats to about 500 °F (260 °C) and the high setting heats to about 1,000 °F (538 °C). You may be able to rent a heat gun from your local home improvement store. However, they typically cost under 50 dollars (USD), so if you plan on using it several times it's probably best to buy one. If you want to keep the plastic it its melted shape, such as if you plan on cutting or sanding it into a shape, let it cool before picking it up. If you want to mold the plastic, pour it into the mold while it is still hot. Remember not to pick up the plastic or container it is in without wearing gloves if it is still hot.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Comprueba si puedes fundir tu plástico de forma segura según su número o sus características. Compra una pistola de calor. Coloca el plástico derretido en un molde o déjalo enfriar.


There are all kinds of different relationships, and it's your job to make sure you're both on the same page when you're starting a new one. If you're dating someone and you want it to be exclusive, don't automatically assume that the other person will feel the same way. Make your desires for the relationship clear and respect her desires for it as well.  What do you want out of a relationship? If you want someone to spend time with that you feel an emotional connection to a few times a week, what's the big deal? If you want a committed and serious relationship, let her know in the early stages. If you don't like what you hear, don't try to change her, or yourself. Just end the relationship. There are lots of people to date. Don't get stuck on someone you're incompatible with. The most important part of any relationship is communication. If you're suspicious that a girl you're seeing might be inclined to cheat on you, talk to her about monogamy. Talk to her about being in a committed relationship. Tell her that you feel like you're not as close as you'd like to be.  If you're unsure how to bring up the subject, just say something simple like, "Where do you see this relationship going?" If you get a vague answer, push for a specific one. If she says she wants to be exclusive, but behaves in a way counter to it, then talk to her about it. If you don't like what she has to say in return, or she doesn't follow up with what she says she'll do, then end the relationship. You're not powerless in this situation. You can't buy love. If a girl you're seeing makes her presence conditional on you buying things or you furnishing expensive or lavish lifestyle gifts upon her, then you're in a bad situation. If you suspect a girl you're seeing might be playing you for what's in your pocketbook, refrain from opening it up when you're out. See what happens.  If she stops calling you altogether, consider yourself lucky. You just freed yourself of someone who only loved you for your money. If your relationship improves, then...

There are all types of smiles - wide, toothy grins that show all of your teeth, more subtle smiles that put just the top row of teeth on display, mostly closed-mouth smiles that reveal just a glimmer of white, and completely closed smiles that show no teeth at all. By choosing how wide to open your mouth, you can control how the world sees your teeth.  Practice different degrees of openness to see which smile looks best on you. It's your smile, and there are no rules about how it should look! That said, try to get comfortable revealing at least a glimpse of your teeth when you smile, because it's very hard to keep your mouth closed when you smile out of happiness. Aim to smile in a way that helps you look your best while also creating a natural-looking expression of cheer. Keep in mind that a smile is often the first impression we have of other people. Think about meeting someone for the first time: what would impression would you get if they seemed to be making an effort to keep their mouth closed instead of breaking into a full smile? It's better to reveal some teeth and have your smile look natural than to close your mouth and look as though you are hiding something. Projecting confidence is more important than projecting perfection, so open up! Perhaps you've heard of smizing - the act of smiling with your eyes, not just your mouth. Engaging your eyes as part of your smile automatically helps it read as more authentic and pleasant. For those who are worried about how their teeth look, smiling with the eyes can draw attention to the top of the face and away from the mouth. Smiling with your eyes - also called a Duchenne smile - enables you to have a bright, happy smile without needing to open your mouth wide.  Try it in the mirror. First, smile without using your eyes. Do you see the jack-o-lantern effect? The smile doesn't look happy, it looks . . . a little scary and fake. Now try smiling with your whole face, especially your eyes. This type of smile looks like a true expression of happiness. Practice...

There are always two versions of a person: the person they are, and the person you see them as.  Sometimes these two identities are closely in alignment, while other times they are not.  It is important to recognize your partner’s faults and flaws, but also to recognize their good qualities.  When you find yourself obsessing over their deficiencies, remind yourself of how sweet, thoughtful, and affectionate they can be.  Give your partner a fair hearing when they insist they can and will change, and be open to the possibility of their doing so.  Demanding that the other person change will not make them or you happy.  They will feel trapped by your demands, and you will feel frustrated by the lack of change. Do not compare your partner with anyone else. Think back to when you first met and fell in love with your spouse.  Reminiscing about these good times will help you see their good side more clearly in the present.  If you’re constantly on the lookout for your partner’s flaws, instead of their positive qualities, you will see them in abundance. Put yourself in your spouse position.  Do you treat them with the same level of respect that you expect for yourself?  How do you feel when someone wants you to make a drastic (or even a minor) change to your personality?  Most of us resist hearing that we are doing something wrong or irritating.  We become defensive, hurt, and angry. Understanding how and why your spouse reacts to criticism will help you soften your approach.  Explaining that you feel attacked or hurt by their demands will, in turn, help them soften theirs. Nobody is perfect.  You and your spouse need to be honest with each other and with yourselves about what qualities, habits, or idiosyncrasies are truly grounds for divorce, and which are merely irritating or inconvenient.  You may think your spouse snores too loudly; walks like a duck; makes too many grammatical errors; or is a shabby dresser.  But these things don’t have to mean an end to your marriage.  Understanding your partner’s limitations...

There are an abundance of skin lightening creams available over-the-counter. They all work by reducing melanin (the pigment which causes tanning and sun spots) in the skin.  Look for products containing effective skin-lightening ingredients such as  kojic acid, glycolic acid, alpha hydroxy acids, vitamin C or arbutin. These products tend to be pretty safe to use, but be sure to follow the directions on the packaging and to stop immediately if your skin has a bad reaction. Never use a skin lightening cream which contains mercury as the active ingredient. Mercury-based skin creams are banned in the US, but are still available in other parts of the world. Retinoid creams are made from an acidic form of Vitamin A and can effectively lighten skin through exfoliating the skin and speeding up cell turnover.  Not only do retinoid creams lighten skin and clear discoloration, they are also highly effective at smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, plumping up the skin and making it look brighter and younger. In higher concentrations, it can also help to clear acne. Retinoid creams can cause dryness, redness and flakiness at first, but these symptoms should subside once your skin gets used to the product. Retinoids also make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so you should only apply them at night and be sure to wear sunscreen during the day. Retinoids are only available with a prescription, so you should make an appointment with your dermatologist if you are interested in pursuing this treatment. However, a less potent version of retinoid cream, known as retinol, is available in many over-the-counter beauty products. Chemical peels can be very effective at lightening the skin. They work by burning away the top layers of skin which are highly pigmented or discolored, revealing the fresher, lighter-colored skin underneath.  With a chemical peel, an acidic substance (such as alpha hydroxy acid) is applied to the skin and left to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. The peel may cause a tingling, stinging or burning sensation on...

There are apprenticeship programs available for individuals who want to work their way up from entry-level positions to qualified positions quickly. This is a great option if you are hard-working and career-driven, but have no experience working at sea. Check Seafarer's International Union and Workboat Academy for opportunities. You may be able to find other organizations that offer apprenticeship programs as well. Once you have the proper credentials, you might want to consider joining one of the many shipping unions in the United States. Your union can help you with job placement, and can also be a great way to  network with other people in your industry. You do not need to be a member of a union to get a job on a container ship. If you encounter long waiting lists, you may be better off looking for a non-union job. If you decide not to do an apprenticeship or join a union, look for your first job on a container ship by searching through online job boards and classified ads. Apply for positions by submitting a  resume that outlines your skills and experience, as well as a  cover letter that explains why you would be a good fit for the job.  With a quick online search you will find a variety of job boards that are devoted to maritime positions. Also check major job boards like Monster and CareerBuilder. You should also visit the websites of all of the shipping companies you can think of. They may have job openings posted on their websites that you did not see on job boards. If you are in a busy port city, you might be able to find a job simply by visiting the ports and asking captains if they have any job openings. Have your credentials with you in case one of them says yes. Once you have a job on a container ship, you will need to decide if you want to advance in your maritime career. If you enjoy the work and would like increased responsibilities, you will need to gain experience and fulfill the necessary requirements to obtain additional licenses and endorsements to your credentials.

There are are a variety of reasons for  not  becoming friends with an ex-boyfriend. He may still have his heart set on you - in this case, hanging out with him as a mere friend is cruel. The opposite may be true - if you're still into him, you'll be setting yourself up for disappointment. Finally, your breakup may have been because of something so serious that it's impossible to look at each other without resentment. If either of you has been deeply hurt, give each other a wide berth. Even if he's calm, emotionally stable, and your history doesn't contain any gaping wounds, you simply might not want to see your ex again. This is  fine.  Exes don't necessarily have to be friends. Even the cleanest breakups can be the cause of hard feelings for both parties. Immediately after a breakup, there's a chance he'll be sad or angry. This is no time to approach him as a friend. Wait for his emotional waters to settle before proceeding.  Similarly, listen to your own heart. If you've still got lingering anger or you're a little depressed, give yourself some time to settle before you make contact.  The length of time you spend apart from each other after a breakup will likely depend on the circumstances of the breakup itself. "Messier" breakups can require months or even years before your feelings have calmed to the point where a normal, friendly relationship is possible. The period after a breakup is a great opportunity for reflection and self-improvement. After you've given your emotions some time to normalize, spend the time you previously spent with your boyfriend on yourself instead. Devote yourself to your hobbies or schoolwork. Spend time learning a new skill. Do things you like to do, alone or with friends. By improving yourself, you're also restoring your self-confidence and your sense of self-reliance, which will make it much easier to start new friendships (and, coincidentally, romances.) After a few weeks of self-improvement, you may find that you don't even think about your ex anymore! This will make it much...

There are both regular and angled surface plates to choose from. Regular surface plates hold the legs straight vertically while straight surface plates allow you to set them diagonally. You can choose either one and install them the same way. To connect the legs, you will also need a set of matching hanger bolts that are the same size as the central opening in the plates. Hanger bolts are basically screws threaded at both ends to connect to something like a surface plate.  Shop online or visit a home improvement store to purchase plates and bolts. While shopping, compare the hanger bolts to the surface plates to ensure they are compatible. The size will be listed on the packaging. Surface plates are a good choice for small tables without an apron, which is the series of wood panels some tables have on their underside to join the legs to the tabletop. Surface plates work best with thin legs less than 2 1⁄4 in (5.7 cm) in diameter. Determine where the surface plates will go before securing them in place. They typically go in the corners on the underside of the table, but you can move them to adjust the positioning of the legs. Make sure the plates are equidistant, meaning an equal distance from the table’s edges. If you’re using angled surface plates, turn them so the elevated portions are opposite from the table’s corners, allowing the legs to slant in the right direction.  If you need a more precise estimate of where to put the plates, measure out from the table edges and mark where each one goes. There is no exact place to put them beside keeping them equidistant, so it depends on where you want them. Test the plates by holding the legs up to them. If the legs don’t look like they are positioned correctly, especially with angled plates, then adjust the plates before screwing them in place. Purchased surface plates come with the screws you need to install them. The screws fit the holes, usually 4 of them, around the plate’s outer edge. Before installing the plate, make sure the screws are not long enough to...

There are brokers who specialize in residential real estate, commercial real estate, national real estate, international real estate or a combination. It's best to specialize in a particular real estate niche as opposed to trying to market your brokerage as a "one size fits all" business. Does the market in your community justify the existence of your business? How much of a demand is there in your area for the real estate services that you'll be providing? Is that demand expected to grow over the next several years? What are the overall prospects for the real estate market in your vicinity? Who are your competitors and how effective are they at market penetration? How much money do you expect to make over the next five years with your real estate brokerage business? How can you justify those earnings? How much do you plan on growing each year over the next five years? Answering these questions may be difficult, but they are crucial in determining whether or not you can realistically expect to stay in business for long. .

There are certain symptoms that Addison's Disease causes. These can manifest in physical ways, which will change her behavior. Look for muscle weakness, which may show up as shaking or trembling. She may also stop being able to jump or play.  She may also have a decreased energy level, depression, and overall lethargy. This will cause her to sit or lay around without moving much or playing. She may also be less interested in you, in your family, in playing, or other activities she used to love. She may also seem restless and won't settle down, which is likely due to a stomach issue. It is also possible that she may lose her fur. In some cases, Addison's Disease may cause your Poodle to collapse. Addison's Disease can also manifest through her eating and drinking habits. Your dog may start vomiting or have diarrhea, which are some of the most common and frequent symptoms of this condition. She may loose her appetite but have an increase in her thirst. This will likely cause increased urination.  She may lose weight because of her decrease in appetite. She may also have blood in her stool. If you notice more than one of these symptoms in your dog, you should keep track of them. Your vet will want to know what your Poodle's symptom history is and how often they have occurred. It is important to note how long the symptoms last and if the time between them and length of their occurrence change over time. This will help paint a full picture of your Poodle's disease as help your vet treat her. The symptoms associated with Addison's Disease are mild in the early stages of the disease. They also tend to come and go, which can make it hard to diagnose in this stage. This means that your dog may have episodes where the symptoms occur and then they will clear up after a day or two. The symptoms may also come in waves, where she will have one symptom for a few days, then that one will clear up as another develops.  This is most common with the gastric symptoms, such as vomiting and diarrhea. These symptoms will clear up,...

There are countless custom maps available online from a huge number of Minecraft fan sites. Simply search "minecraft maps" to find more maps than you'll know what to do with. Most map listings have ratings and comments so you can browse and find the perfect map to try.  Maps are usually in ZIP or RAR format. ZIP files can be opened without any additional software, but RAR files will require a new program. You can use the free WinRAR trial (rarlab.com) in Windows, or you can use the open-source program 7-Zip (7-zip.org). Mac players can use The Unarchiver, available for free on the Mac App Store. See How to Open RAR Files for more information about opening RAR files. Make sure to note what version of Minecraft the map is designed for. You can change your Minecraft version in the Launcher before starting the game so that you can play maps designed for older versions. Right-click the downloaded map file and select "Extract file" to extract the files into a new folder. The folder will have the same name as the downloaded map file. Open the folder that you just created by extracting the map file. You'll usually see a _MACOSX folder and a folder with the same name as the map file. Leave this window open for now. If you open the folder with the map's name, you should see several files and folders, including a level.dat file, a data folder, and several other files. Return to the previous folder after verifying that these files are here. The location varies depending on what operating system you are using:   Windows - Press ⊞ Win or click the Start button  to open the Start menu. Type "%appdata%" and press ↵ Enter. Open the .minecraft folder, which for most users should be at the top of the list of folders in the %appdata% folder. Open the saves folder. You will see a list of folders for all of your saved games.  Mac - Hold the ⌥ Option key and click the Go menu. Select "Library" from the Go menu. Double-click the Application Support folder and then open the Minecraft folder. Finally, open the saves folder. All of...

There are countless different objects you can choose to fossilize. Shells and animal bones are best for their distinctive shapes. Plants and leaves can be scooped up from the backyard or nearby park and fossilized as well. For the sake of demonstrating the fossilization process, you should choose something organic. Plastic toys of bugs and animals should be used in lieu of the real thing. Wait until the mould has solidified before you go any further. Using plaster of Paris, the mixture should dry completely within a couple of hours. Heating the mould at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for an hour will speed up the process of solidification. If you've left an imprint for decoration's sake, chiselling at the mould itself will make it look like you recently dug it up. Take a hammer and chip away at the sides and corners of your block. Add small dents and imperfections. Although you shouldn't go overboard with your chiselling, the weather-worn look will add to the effect of your fossil display.

Reúne objetos para fosilizarlos. Dale tiempo al molde para que se endurezca. Desgasta el molde para darle un toque más auténtico.


There are different reasons to massage your dog (e.g, calm his nerves, warm him up for physical activity, relieve joint stiffness), each of which involves a slightly different massage technique. On most days, though, a basic massage will suffice for your dog. To set up a routine, come up with a word or phrase (e.g, ‘rubdown,’ ‘It’s massage time!’) to let your dog know it’s massage time. Pick a time of day for the massage. It is best to wait until your dog has gone to the bathroom, and at least 15 minutes after he has eaten. The massage area should be quiet and distraction free. Play some soothing music, such as nature sounds or soft classical music.  Set up an area for your dog. The surface on which he will lay should be flat (no pillows or cushions), firm, and soft. A layer or two of comfortable blankets on the floor would work well. Prepare the massage area so you can sit comfortably to massage your dog. Have your dog lie down comfortably on his side. With your palm facing down, use broad, light strokes to touch your dog from the back of his head to the tip of his tail. This will probably feel like normal petting to him, and will help get him ready for the massage. There is no set amount of time for you to do this. Move forward with the massage when your dog looks calm and settled. Starting at your dog’s shoulders and working back to the base of his tail, massage the muscles alongside his spine—do not place direct pressure on his spine. First, use your fingers to make small circles (clockwise, then counterclockwise) down his back.  Next, use your thumbs to apply gentle, vertical pressure down his back.  As you massage along the spine, gently lift up small sections of your dog’s skin and slowly knead it between your fingers.  Throughout the massage, pay attention to your dog’s body language. If he is not enjoying the massage and wants you to stop, he will use such body language as  tensing, holding his breath, growling, and flinching. The sacrum is at the very end of your dog’s spine between the hips. With...

There are different types of therapists, each of whom offers different skills or specialties. These include counseling psychologists, clinical psychologists and psychiatrists. You can see one or a combination of different ones.   Counseling psychologists: Counseling psychology is a field of therapy that focuses on helping skills and helping people overcome difficult times in their lives. This type of therapy can be short or long-term and is often problem-specific and goal-directed.   Licensed professional counselor or licensed social worker: These types of mental health providers are often much easier to find and schedule counseling sessions with than psychologists. Ask your doctor for a referral or find one in your area by searching online.  Clinical psychologists: These are trained to administer tests to confirm a diagnosis and therefore, they tend to focus more on psychopathology, or the study of behavioral or mental disorders.   Psychiatrists: These may use psychotherapy and scales or tests in their practice, but are typically consulted when medication is an option the patient wants to explore. In most states, only psychiatrists can prescribe medication, although some states now allow psychologists to prescribe medication. For help finding a counselor, consider recommendations from friends or family, leaders in your religious community, community mental health center, your Employee Assistance Program (if your employer offers one), or your doctor. Other professional associations like the American Psychological Association may provide search functions for locating their members in your area. Find someone who makes you feel welcome and at ease. A bad counseling experience can put you off the whole idea for years, which could deprive you of valuable therapy. Remember that not all mental health professionals are alike; find one you like and stick with them. Therapists will generally prompt you to speak with careful questions, and then listen to what you have to say. It can be nerve-wracking at first to open up...

There are dozens of different types of credit cards out there so it is important to consider your options when deciding on your first card.  Credit cards are issued through financial institutions, retailers, banks and other lenders. If you have a debit card now and are happy with the services you receive from that bank, you can consider applying for a credit card through them. Many of us receive “pre-approved” offers from credit card issuers that target first-time credit card users. While they may be tempting, you still need to do your research to see if it is the best option for you. The length of time you have credit built is an important factor in your credit score and qualifying for future credit, but it is harder to get a credit card when you’re younger and have less credit history.    Credit issuers are more hesitant to issue credit cards to people under the age of 21, but you can work around this. If you are under 21, you will need to demonstrate that you have a full time source of income. If you do not work full time, you will need a parent or another adult to co-sign with you on your application. Credit card restrictions loosen after you turn 21 but you will still need to provide documentation that you work either full or part time and have a steady source of income. There are two main types of credit cards, secured and unsecured, so it is important to know which type you qualify for.  Secured credit cards are backed by a cash deposit, which is usually the amount of the card’s credit limit. This means that if you receive a card with a $1000 limit, you will need to put down $1000 as collateral to remove the risk of nonpayment for the card issuer.   Secured credit cards are usually offered to people without extensive credit histories, or who have poor credit. Unsecured credit cards do not have a cash deposit. You will get a credit limit based on your income level and your credit history. Some cards expect a payment every two weeks while others use a 30-day cycle.   Ask if there is a penalty for not...

There are endless options to create a funky and fun notebook cover. Choose your materials before you get started so you have a plan of attack. Select something to express yourself with!  You can use cardboard, construction paper, or old maps. You can find images on the Internet. Print out 1 image to cover the entire notebook, or use your computer to make a collage of photos. You can select fabric like canvas, denim, or old T-shirts. You could also paint a separate sheet on paper and glue it onto the cover. You can use duct tape and stick it onto the cover. Place your notebook on top of your material, whether it is another piece of paper or a piece of fabric. Mark the edges of your notebook onto your cover with a pencil or pen. This can be a rough size estimate, so you know where to make your cuts. You can cut out a cover for the front and a cover for the back separately, or cut out a size that would fit both the front and back cover in one piece. Be sure to lay your book open flat if you are covering both sides. Use a pair of scissors to cut out your cover, based on the lines you traced. Place your cover on top of your notebook to make sure the size is correct.  If the cover is too big, trim it down so it fits the size of your notebook. If it is too small, you can cut out another cover or improvise with other accessories, like ribbon or stickers. If you are using fabric, use fabric scissors for sharp, straight lines. You can use an adhesive like a glue stick, liquid glue, a hot glue gun, or Mod Podge. Put a thin, even layer of glue onto the back of the cover material. Make sure you coat the edges of your cover so the paper won't lift up later. Avoid applying too much glue on your cover. It will take a long time to dry and create a mess.

There are five different stages of grief that people go through following this kind of loss. Memorize these steps so that you can figure out where your friend is at in the process and try to help with each specific step. Remember that people are different and some do not go through the stages in order and can revisit past stages before reaching acceptance.  Denial is first. Denial of the reality of the loss is a normal reaction. It may seem like he or she doesn't realize the death of her sibling. It may not have set in yet. Anger comes next. Once the reality of the loss does set in, it's normal to experience anger over the loss. He or she may be angry at the sibling, at herself, or at someone else. Bargaining is third. This shows up as a desire to change the situation, such as wishing that he or she had done something differently. Depression is the fourth step. This is the stage where people mourn the loss and bid the person farewell. It's an essential step in the process of grieving. Acceptance is the final stage. After all of the stages of resistance to loss, acceptance is the stage where people finally come to terms. It's not happiness, but it is calm compared to the stages before it. The grief of losing a loved one is bad enough, but losing a sibling often creates specific painful responses. For example, someone may feel bad about how he or she treated her sibling in the past. A person may feel "survivor's guilt" over being left alive. When talking to your friend or loved one and doing things for him or her, be aware of these difficult issues associated with the loss of a sibling. If you notice that he or she is feeling these things, try to reassure him or her that it was not his or her fault. Grief does not always have a timeline and time does not necessarily heal all wounds. You can expect him or her to get better as time passes, but they may never make a full recovery. People respond differently to loss. Avoid pushing someone to move on. Allow the person to grieve and recover at his or her own pace. If...

There are four different types of venomous snakes in the United States: cottonmouths, rattlesnakes, copperheads and coral snakes.   Cottonmouths. The cottonmouths have elliptical pupils and range in color from black to green. They have a white stripe along the side of their heads. They are often found in or around water, but have also adapted to live well on land. Young snakes have a bright yellow tail. They are often loners, so if you see multiple snakes coexisting peacefully, it is probably not a cottonmouth.      Rattlesnakes. Look for the rattle on the tail. Some harmless snakes imitate the rattle by brushing their tails through leaves, but only rattle snakes have the button-like rattle at the end of the tail. If you can't see the rattle, they also have a heavy triangular head and elliptical eyes like a cat's.      Copperheads. These beauties have a similar body shape to cottonmouths but are much brighter, ranging from coppery brown to bright orange, silver-pink and peach. The young have yellow tails as well.      Coral snakes. Another beautiful but deadly snake is the Coral snake—so beautiful that other snakes—not-venomous ones such as the Milk snake—look just like them. They have distinctive coloring, though, with a black, yellow and red bands, a yellow head, and a black band over their nose. One rhyme to help distinguish coral snakes from king snakes is 'Red to yellow, kill a fellow. Red to black, friend of Jack.' Another variation is 'Red on black, venom lack; red on yellow, deadly fellow'. However, most of the time coral snakes will not bite - they are very shy. There are no known deaths from the Arizona coral snake and only a few from the Eastern Coral snake.    Venomous Snakes in the U.S. tend to have varying colors. Most snakes that are one solid color are completely harmless. However, cottonmouths are also venomous so this is not a foolproof way to tell them apart. Also, beware of venomous escaped pets. Non-venomous snakes have a spoon-shaped rounded head and venomous snakes will have a more...
