Problem: Article: When you take over a car lease, the car company will check your credit. You typically need to have a pretty good credit score to qualify for a lease. Car companies usually have the same qualification requirements for lease takeovers as they do for new leases. In the United States, go to https://www.annualcreditreport.com/ to get the free credit report you are entitled to by law. You can also use online services, such as Credit Karma, to check your credit score. Many credit card companies also have credit checking and monitoring services you can use for free if you are a cardholder. There are a number of lease transfer companies online that make it easier to find and take over a lease. Swapalease.com and LeaseTrader.com are two of the largest. Lease transfer sites allow people who want to get out of their lease to place a listing with their car, their location, and the terms of their lease. You can search these listings to find the car and lease options that are right for you. Research the lease transfer company carefully before you use it to make sure it's legit. Look for reviews from others who've successfully transferred leases using the site. You may not have to pay as much to assume an existing car lease as you would if you started a new lease on your own. However, most car companies have transfer and application fees. Negotiate to determine whether you or the original lessee will pay these fees. Any agreement should be put in writing. For example, if there is an application fee, the car company typically would look to you to pay that. If you and the original lessee have agreed that you would each pay half, the car company isn't going to enforce that agreement for you. The car company will have an application for you to take over the lease, which will probably look similar to the application you would complete to start a new lease. You may be able to complete this application online. You also may need to fill out a paper application and mail it in, or visit a local dealership to complete the application process. The car company will check your credit and make sure you qualify to take over the lease. The car company is not responsible for the condition of the car. Some lessees may be wanting to get out of their car lease because there is damage to the car that they don't want to pay for when they turn the car back in. The only way to know for sure is to get the car inspected. If you're completing the lease transfer process at a dealership, they may offer to do an inspection for you. Make note of any damages or repairs that need to be made. If these are significant, you may want to negotiate with the original lessee to take care of those repairs before the lease is transferred into your name. If the car company approves the lease transfer and everything is in order, they'll have an agreement that transfers the lease from the original lessee over to you. Depending on your income and the results of your credit check, your lease terms may differ from those of the original lessee. Read the transfer agreement carefully and make sure you know what your payments will be, and what your responsibilities are at the end of the lease term. When the transfer is complete, the car is yours. You will have to take care of getting new tags and paying taxes and registration fees for the car. The lease transfer process can be complicated, and typically takes 2 or 3 months to get to this point. Contact your insurance company to get sufficient insurance for the car. The minimum insurance requirements will be listed in the transfer agreement.
Summary: Check your credit. Search lease transfer companies online. Negotiate with the original lessee. Complete an application with the car company. Have the car inspected. Sign a lease transfer agreement. Take possession of the car.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Unless you also want to be cleaning mud off your car seats, toss your shoes into a shopping bag or trash bag to keep the mess contained. You may be eager to clean your shoes off right away, but trying to wipe the mud off before it has dried can actually stain the fibers of your shoe. Put your shoes somewhere warm and dry--outdoors in direct sunlight, if possible. Don't put your shoes by a radiator or other direct source of heat to dry, as this can warp the plastic and alter the shape of the shoe. If it's humid, damp, or there's no sunlight, dry your shoes with a household fan. Either put the shoes on a towel or plastic tray with the top facing the fan (so the air gets inside the shoe), or use an over the door hook (or "S" shaped hook) to hang the shoes directly on the grill of the fan. Don't leave your shoes outdoors overnight. They'll just get damp again. You don't want to do this very often--try brush the shoes clean whenever possible--but after a mud run you will probably need the power of the washing machine to thoroughly clean your shoe. You can wash them with towels or sheets to protect the machine and your shoes from damage, but the other items may need another wash afterwards. Wash the shoes in cold water only, and on a "gentle" or "delicate" setting. You can machine-wash the inserts as well, just make sure they are not still in the shoe. Stuff your shoes with newspaper or paper towels to help absorb dampness. The same rules apply as before--try to let your shoes "bake" in direct sunlight and don't leave them outside overnight. Do not put them by a radiator or in the dryer, as this can ruin the shoe (and your dryer). Your shoes should be dry in about 12 hours. If you insist on trying to dry your shoes in the dryer, lace them back up and tie the laces to something heavy. Hang the laces over the dryer door, with the weight on the outside of the door, and close the door. This should keep your shoes from banging around. You can also put each shoe in a pillowcase and try to dry them that way.

SUMMARY: Stick your muddy shoes in a plastic bag until you get home. Wait for the mud to dry. Put your shoes in the washing machine if they're still dirty. Let your shoes dry.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: We are born naked and it is our natural state. Clothing keeps us warm and is often necessary to wear in public, but that doesn't mean it needs to be worn at all times. There's a time for letting your natural self just be. Imagine the freedom that will come with feeling the air and sun touch your skin everywhere, not just places that are normally exposed. Nudism, also called naturism, is about more than the simple act of being nude; it's also about getting closer to nature. In your natural state, there are no boundaries between yourself and the natural world. How freeing and exhilarating would it feel to lie naked on the beach, or under a tree, one with the natural world and comfortable in your own skin? People choose naturism to reach this particular height of happiness. Yes, people have sex naked, but nudity itself does not have to be sexual. Revealing clothing is often more sexually suggestive than being totally naked, since it leaves more to the imagination. If you're worried that becoming a naturist means you're opening yourself up to unwanted sexual encounters, know that for many naturists, it's about being free and natural, not lecherous. Being a naturist is not about having public sex or exposing yourself to others. Many naturists are modest people who choose naturism for the above reasons, and not in order to sexually connect with people. That said, nudity can be pleasing to the senses in a sexual way. The feel of air or water flowing uninterrupted across your entire body awakens the senses and may be arousing. This is healthy and natural. You should not feel ashamed to have or explore these sexual feelings. Suppressing sexual feelings is unhealthy in general, and suppressing them in the context of naturism negates the healthy benefits of a naturist lifestyle.
Summary:
Recognize that nudity is natural. Get to know the purpose of nudism. Know that nudity isn't always sexual.
