Write an article based on this "Write a letter to the credit card company reiterating your intention to close the account. File the letter in your records. Wait a few weeks and then contact your lender to confirm. File a complaint, if necessary."
article: This is as much for your own records as it is for making sure the account is closed. Sending a letter will finalize the closure of your account and give you a legal written and dated record of your action should anything go wrong with the closure of your account. If you really want to guarantee full legality, send the letter by certified mail and hold on to the receipt you will receive upon paying the certified postage. In your letter, request written confirmation that the account is closed. Make sure to also include your information, like your name, phone number, and address. You may also want to include proof of payment from when you paid off your remaining account balance. Do so by including a cancelled copy of the check. You can also request that your credit report say that your card was closed "at the consumer's request." This will make the situation clear to future lenders. Make a copy of the letter and keep it in a safe place. By doing so you will have complete and reasonable proof that you closed your credit card account. Also be sure to hold onto the certified mail receipt. This will help prove that the credit card company received your letter. Follow up a few weeks later to make sure that your account is indeed closed. Companies may occasionally make mistakes and fail to close your account. The closing process can take up to a month, so don't worry if it isn't closed after a few weeks. If your account has not been closed after a month, though, it's time to take action. Once closure is confirmed, cut up your credit card to finalize the closure. You can check whether or not an account has been closed by obtaining a copy of your credit report. Check your credit report a month after you first called to have your card closed. If the card is still active, it is is time to take further action. First, try calling your credit card company again and writing another letter. Wait for a response. If this fails, you can file a dispute through a credit reporting agency (either Experian, TransUnion, or Equifax). Each agency's website has clear instructions on how to do so. If your account is still open after this, you can file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at http://www.consumerfinance.gov/Complaint/.

Write an article based on this "Look at the puppy's belly. Look below the bellybutton or umbilicus scar. Check for testicles. Feel the puppy's belly. Examine the puppy's rear end. Disregard the nipples. Consult your veterinarian."
article: You will probably see a "belly button," or umbilicus. This is usually located almost at the center of the belly, just below the rib cage. If the puppy was born within the last few days, the umbilical cord may still be attached. Once the umbilical cord shrivels and falls off -- which should happen within a few days -- there will be a little scar left behind on the belly. This scar is a slightly brighter color than the surrounding skin and feels a little bit thicker. If your puppy is male, there will be another small raised spot or "button" of flesh about an inch or so below the scar. This is the prepuce, or sheath, of the puppy's penis. The prepuce will have a small hole at the center. The prepuce may have little wispy hairs around it or even on it. Do not attempt to pull out or unsheathe a male puppy's penis until the puppy is at least 6 months old. Dogs have an os penis, or "penis bone." You may damage the penis or penis bone if you attempt to forcibly unsheathe a young male dog's penis. Male puppies will have testicles, although you may not be able to feel them before they are 8 weeks old. If you can locate the testicles, they will be high up between the puppy's hind legs. Depending on your puppy's size, its testicles will be about the size of a lima bean. By 8 weeks old, the testicles are usually enclosed in the sack-like scrotum. Unlike male puppies, female puppies will have smooth bellies (other than their umbilicus scar). Females do not have a prepuce. A puppy's anus is located directly under its tail. If your puppy is male, you will only be able to see its anus. If your puppy is female, you will see a raised, fleshy area just under the anus. This is the vulva. The vulva of a female puppy is small and leaf-shaped. It has a vertical slit. It is usually located almost directly between the puppy's hind legs. The vulva may have some wispy hairs on it. Just like humans and other mammals, both male and female dogs have nipples. They will not inform you of a puppy's sex. Puppies should have their first set of vaccinations at around six weeks old. If you can't figure out what sex your puppy is, your veterinarian can help you with this during a routine visit.

Write an article based on this "Pick Homunculus Amistr. Pick Homunculus Filir. Pick Homunculus Vanilmirth. Pick Homunculus Lif."
article:
Amistr is the best base for a Homunculus but also the slowest to level and feed due to its lack of offensive skills. If you have a lot of time in your hands, you're well-advised to get Amistr. Leveling may take time but well worth the wait and effort. Amistr is a sturdily-built, tank-type Homunculus suitable for classes that have low defenses, such as wizards and healers. Amistr eats Zargon. It has these four skills: Castling. Instantly switches the location of Amistr and its master, causing the monster to change target and focus on Amistr instead. Amistr Bulwark. Temporarily increases Amistr and its master's VIT. Adamantium Skin. Increases Amistr's Max HP, HP recovery rate, and defense. Blood Lust. Temporarily increases Amistr's ATK, plus a chance to leech 20% of the damage as HP for each hit. Amistr Bulwark is very useful for MVP later on in the game. It boosts your VIT and even gives valuable defense for PVP. Filir is the fastest-leveling Homunculus in the game. Its downside is its lack of VIT. It's quick to level, yes, but it sure dies a lot. If you don't have time to level your Homunculus, Filir will be a good choice, but don't expect it to withstand fierce attacks. Filir is a dodge/high-ASPD type, meaning it has a high-dodge and high-attack speed. Filir eats Garlet. It also has four skills: Moonlight. Commands Filir to repeatedly peck at its target. Flitting. Temporarily increases Filir's ATK and ASPD. Accelerated Flight. Temporarily increases Filir's flee rate. S.B.R.44. Commands Filir to deal massive damage on its target at the cost of its Intimacy. Vanil is the in-between solution to Amistr and Filir. This Homunculus offers high VIT and HP, and has a decent offensive skill. However, it comes with a lower burst attack compared to Filir, which makes for slower leveling in certain situations. Nevertheless, Vanil can be powerful and has skills that can throw random elements at enemies. Vanilmirth is a magic-type Homunculus. It eats Scell. Vanilmirth's four skills are: Caprice. Can cast magical attacks randomly, such as Fire Bolt, Cold Bolt, Lightning Bolt, and Earth Spike. The level of each one can be affected by Caprice's skill level. Chaotic Blessings. Can cast Heal on a random target selected from among enemies, the master, or itself. Heal can restore the HP of the Undead instead of inflicting damage. Instruction Change. Increases Vanil's STR and INT. Also increases its master's chance of successfully brewing potions. Self-Destruction. Commands Vanilmirth to self-destruct, inflicts splashed damage proportionate to Vanil's Max HP that pierces the defense, and ignores the flee rate of the enemies in range. If the Homunculus successfully destroys itself, the intimacy will be reduced to 1, i.e., Hate with Passion. Not worthy to be used as a base since it has no practical use, Lif is mostly a novelty character. It's useless in battles due to having low attack, having no burst attacks, and having a weak Heal skill. Lif is a support-type of Homunculus. It eats Pet Food. Lif has these skills: Healing Hands. Restores its master's HP with a method that mimics the Acolyte's Heal skill. Each cast will require a Condensed Red Potion. Urgent Escape. Temporarily increases Lif's and her master's movement speeds. Brain Surgery. Increases Lif's max SP, SP Recovery, and the effectiveness of its healing hands. Mental Charge. Changes Lif so that her attacks are based on MATK instead of ATK for a short duration. This also increases VIT by 30 and INT by 20 per skill level.
