Article: All citizens of the United States aged 16 years and older must travel with a passport, passport card, Enhanced Driver's License or Enhanced ID Card (EDL/ID) to meet requirements for crossing the border to and from Canada. Bring proof of citizenship (like a birth certificate) in case you are asked for additional documentation. Permanent residents of Canada or the U.S. need to bring their Permanent Resident Cards. International travelers who are not citizens of the United States or Canada are required to have a passport and possibly a visa when entering Canada. Find out from your home country if a visa will be required. In anticipation of passport processing times, apply for your passport several months before your trip. Passport applications can be completed online and printed, or you can obtain one from a United States post office that has passport acceptance services. If you need to expedite your passport, you can request and pay for a faster application processing service. You can only complete your passport application online and then print it out for submission. You currently cannot apply for a passport online. Children aged 15 years or younger can cross by presenting proof of citizenship, such as a U.S. birth certificate, without a photo ID. The same goes for children aged 16-18 years old who are traveling with an organized school or other youth group (including religious youth groups). Valid proofs of citizenship for minors are a U.S. birth certificate (original, photocopy, or certified copy), a U.S. consular report of birth abroad, and a Certificate of U.S. Naturalization. Children (under 18) traveling without both parents should carry a parental consent letter. Ideally, this letter should be notarized. Dogs and cats that are older than three months will need signed and dated rabies vaccination certificates from a veterinarian. These certificates are usually valid for 1-3 years after obtaining them. Service dogs are exempt from these rules as long as they are accompanied by their owners. The rules about crossing with pets other than cats and dogs vary. Contact CFIA for details prior to your trip.

Meet the ID requirements. Apply for a passport early. Bring a birth certificate if you are traveling with a minor. Obtain a rabies vaccination certificate if you are traveling with your pet.
Article: If your stress balls do not diminish in a day or two, it might be time to seek professional help. Make an appointment with a massage therapist. Many spas, gyms, and yoga studios have massage therapists on staff, so ask the staff at those locations for some information, or get a referral from your doctor. Look for a massage therapist who is certified, licensed, or registered. Before booking your appointment, ask about her training, methods, and costs. The massage therapist will apply pressure to the stressed muscles in order to work out any knots. Make sure to let her know if the pressure is appropriate for your body. Seeing a physical therapist can help to eliminate stress balls and prevent them from recurring. Physical therapy is a great option when any part of your body is under high levels of stress. Physical therapy involves working with your body to create an optimal outcome. Your physical therapist may use a mixture of both active and passive therapy. Active Therapy: This is all about taking action and restoring balance. This may include: stretching, strengthening your muscles through exercise, using pain relief exercises, and doing aerobic conditioning (low-impact of course). Passive Therapy: This therapy does not require you to move your muscles at all. With passive therapy, the therapist may make use of heating pads, ice packs, electrical stimulation, and ultrasounds. Ask your doctor to recommend a reputable, effective physical therapist. Acupuncture is a type of alternative medicine that uses small needles to puncture the skin at specific pressure points around the body, relieving pressure and pain. This method has long been used in Eastern medicines and is becoming more popular in Western culture. Many people rely on acupuncture to relieve different types of pain. Needles can be scary for some, but your acupuncturist can talk you through the process. The needles are very thin, with a rounded tip. When they're inserted, they do not puncture any blood vessels or nerves, so there should be no bleeding or pain. The needle will create a tiny pinch, followed by pressure, and then you will feel relief. Speak to your doctor to find the name of a licensed acupuncturist in your local area.

Article: Stretch marks on areas like the back are especially common among individuals who gain mass in either the form of fat or muscle. If you are looking to intentionally add size, try to do so in a controlled fashion over the course of many months rather than packing it all on as quickly as possible. If you are specifically looking to build muscle, it may help to work with a trainer who can help you pace out your muscle growth. Using a lotion or skin oil regularly helps keep it hydrated and encourage new tissue growth. While new tissue can't prevent stretch marks, it may help reduce the time it takes them to fade, which in turn may help you feel more comfortable with their appearance. Apply a moisturizing lotion every morning and again right before bed using a lotion brush to reach all the areas of your back. A balanced diet and regular exercise can help control rapid change in body size and provide your body with the nutrients it needs to encourage healthy skin growth. Try to eat a diet rich in protein and healthy fats, and with limited amounts of carbohydrates, saturated fats, and transfats. Moderate exercise for thirty to fifty minutes four to five times a week is also encouraged to help maintain a healthy body and prevent stretch marks on the back.
