article: Instead of ignoring them, look at them. Nod, smile, or say hello to show you are aware of their presence. This is a compassionate response that won't cost you any money. A flat "No" to their request might seem rude and uncaring. Instead, try something like, "I'd like to help, but I don't have any cash." It's respectful, and it allows you to avoid feeling like a villain. You could give your spare change, but you can't control what it will be used for. Instead, if it's safe to do so, ask what they would like to buy. If they need a bus ticket, offer to buy one for them. If they're wearing shoes in poor condition or covering themselves with newspapers, ask their shoe size or offer to bring a blanket. This sees to their physical needs and also gives them the dignity and respect that money can't buy. If you're near a restaurant or cafe, offer to buy a cup of coffee or a sandwich. This will allow you to address the beggar in a way that's helpful and open. You also can at least be assured they'll have food or a warm beverage. Keep in mind some beggars may trade food for other goods or services. You can't control this once you hand them the food. This doesn't happen all the time, but it's good to keep this in mind so you are aware of the possible downsides of giving a beggar food. If you think they might be sleeping on the street, let them know the location of the nearest homeless shelter. This will help them get off the streets, at least for a night. It will also connect them with services that could give them the means to rise out of their situation. To find shelter locations around the world, visit: Street Link for UK shelters. Homeless Shelter Directory for shelters in the United States. Homeless Canada for shelters in Canada.

Write an article based on this "Plan ahead. Consider the type of ceremony you want. Pick a destination. Apply for a passport. Collect your birth certificates. Provide evidence of the end of previous marriages. Get an Atto Nottario in your home country if possible. Learn about additional rules for an Atto Nottario completed in Italy. Submit your Declaration to Marry."
article: You will need at least six months to gather all of the appropriate documentation. Resist the temptation to just hop on a plane to Italy with your fiance. It is unlikely you will be able to have a legally binding ceremony if you don't have the proper documentation. Most civil and religious ceremonies have restrictions on location. Catholic ceremonies must be conducted in a church and civil ceremonies must often be conducted in a town hall. While a town hall might sound like a boring, clinical setting, many of them are located in beautiful castles, villas or palaces. The Palazzo Municipale in Ferraro or the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence with its striking Sala Rossa are notable spots. If you have your heart set on an outdoor ceremony, check with the local mayor or deputy to see if they will perform the ceremony in your desired park or outdoor destination. While the general laws of marriage apply in the same ways all over Italy, certain towns may have fewer requirements than others. Once you decide on a location, contact the registry of the local town hall for their specific requirements. A list of all of the town halls in Italy is available at Ancitel.it If you do not have a valid passport, then you will need to apply for a new one or renew your existing one. You will need to allow at least six weeks to receive your new passport, so complete your application right away. Both you and your partner will need to have your original birth certificates in hand to get married in Italy. If you do not have the original copies, then obtain them as soon as possible. If applicable, you will need to prove that any prior marriages have been legally dissolved. This might require you to obtain a divorce decree, an annulment decree, or the death certificate of your late spouse if you have been widowed. You will need the original copies of these documents as well. Some citizens may also need to swear a Nulla Osta to be allowed to marry. For example, citizens of Australia must swear a Nulla Osta at the Australian Embassy in Rome or at the Australian Consulate in Milan. The Nulla Osta is a sworn statement that you are legally allowed to marry someone. The Atto Nottario is a declaration where you affirm that you have no obstacle (such as a pending divorce) to getting married in Italy. You might find it easier to get this done at an Italian Embassy in your home country before you leave for your wedding rather than at your country's Consulate General office or the Embassy in Italy. There are some things to keep in mind as you complete the Atto Nottario, such as: The declaration must be sworn by two witnesses. The witnesses must be at least 18 years old, they must know both you and your spouse, and they cannot be family members or future in-laws. Think of asking friends, fellow church members, or co-workers to serve as your witnesses. If you decide to get an Atto Nottario in Italy, you must do so at the closest Notary Office to the location of your wedding. You must also have two witnesses (non-family members both over 18 years old). If either you, your spouse, or even one of your two witnesses does not speak Italian, then you must also hire an interpreter to be present at the notarization. You will also need to provide evidence of your legal presence in Italy, such as a plane ticket, a visa or a permit to stay. You must also procure two revenue stamps (costing 16 euros each) and one additional stamp costing 10,62 euros. These lower cost stamps will require four to ten days to process and then pick up for your notarization. If you need the stamps issued on-the-spot, then you will need to buy the same two stamps costing 16 euros each and a third stamp costing 30,86 euros. Make your appointment for the Atto Nottario well in advance. If you only have a limited amount of time in Italy, then you need to make sure you have this appointment lined up before going. You will do this in the Marriage Office belonging to the town hall where you intend to get married in Italy. You will need all of the above documentation in order to do this. For Italian citizens and residents of Italy, civil banns are posted for at least two weeks after they submit their Declaration to Marry. They cannot have a civil ceremony before these postings have occurred. But for international visitors to Italy, the banns requirement might be waived or shortened to a length ranging from one day to one week. Contact the local town hall where you plan to get married to find out if they waiver the banns requirement for international visitors.

article:
The symptoms of Crohn's disease are similar to those of other intestinal disorders, such as ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome. The symptoms may come and go and can vary from mild to severe. They will differ from person to person, depending on what part of the gastrointestinal tract is infected. Some of the most common symptoms include: Diarrhea: The inflammation that occurs in Crohn's disease causes cells in the affected areas of your intestine to secrete large amounts of water and salt. Because the colon can't completely absorb this excess fluid, you develop diarrhea. Abdominal pain and cramping: Inflammation and ulceration may cause the walls of portions of your bowel to swell and eventually thicken with scar tissue. This affects the normal movement of intestinal tract contents through your digestive tract and may lead to pain and cramping. Blood in your stool: Food moving through your digestive tract can cause inflamed tissue to bleed, or your bowel may also bleed on its own. Ulcers: Crohn's disease begins as small, scattered sores on the surface of the intestine. Eventually these sores may become large ulcers that penetrate deep into and sometimes through the intestinal walls. Reduced appetite and weight loss: Abdominal pain and cramping and the inflammatory reaction in the wall of your bowel can affect both your appetite and your ability to digest and absorb food. Fistula or abscess: Inflammation from Crohn's disease may tunnel through the wall of the bowel into adjacent organs, such as the bladder or vagina, creating an abnormal connection called a fistula. This can also lead to an abscess; a swollen, pus-filled sore. Aside from the above mentioned symptoms, people with Crohn's disease may experience other, less-common side effects such as joint pain, constipation and swollen gums. People with severe Crohn's disease may experience fever and fatigue as well as problems that occur outside the digestive tract, including arthritis, eye inflammation, skin disorders, and inflammation of the liver or bile ducts. Children with Crohn's disease may have delayed growth or sexual development. Call your doctor right away if you experience any of the following symptoms: Feel faint or have a fast and weak pulse. Severe stomach pain. Unexplained fever or shaking chills lasting more than a day or two. Repeated vomiting. Blood in your stool. Ongoing bouts of diarrhea that don't respond to over-the-counter (OTC) medications. If your doctor suspects that you might have Crohn's disease, he/she may refer you to a gastroenterologist (digestive system specialist) to undergo different diagnostic tests. These may include: Blood tests: Your doctor may suggest blood tests to check for anemia, which is a common side effect of Crohn's disease (due to blood loss). Colonoscopy: This test allows your doctor to view your entire colon using a thin, flexible, lighted tube with an attached camera. With the camera, the doctor will be able to identify any inflammation, bleeding or ulcers on the wall of the colon. Flexible sigmoidoscopy: In this procedure, your doctor uses a slender, flexible, lighted tube to examine the sigmoid, which is the last 2 feet (0.6m) of your colon. Barium enema: This diagnostic test allows your doctor to evaluate your large intestine with an X-ray. Before the test, barium, a contrast dye, is placed into your bowel by way of enema. Small bowel X-ray: This test uses x-ray to examine the part of the small bowel that can't be seen by colonoscopy. Computerized tomography (CT): Sometimes you may need a CT scan, which is a special x-ray technique that provides more detail than a standard x-ray. This test looks at the entire bowel as well as at tissues outside the bowel that can't be seen with other tests. Capsule endoscopy: If you have signs and symptoms that suggest Crohn's disease but the usual diagnostic tests are negative, your doctor may perform capsule endoscopy.
