Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find the address or fax number for the birth state's Division of Vital Records. Print and fill out the form. Copy your identification documents. Include a notarized sworn statement if requested. Send in your request form, identification, and fee. Wait.

Answer: You can access the mailing address through a phone book or online. The fax number, when available, can usually be found online. If you cannot find the contact information on your own, ask the local government office for the address or fax address. Most city governments will have this information in their records. You will typically send your request to the main office, which is usually located in the state capital. Sometimes, however, you should direct your request to the nearest branch of the Vital Records office. Check with the state to determine the correct office to use. Most states will permit you to make requests by mail, but not all states will allow you to do so via fax. Access the form from the website for the state's Division of Vital records. Print out a hard copy and fill it out neatly using black ink. Fill out the form completely and accurately. Note that many states will permit you to leave some areas blank, but you must find out which areas are allowed to be blank and which are mandatory. If you do not have access to a printer, call the office for the state's Division of Vital Records and ask for a form to be sent to your mailing address. Mail and fax requests must still be accompanied by all the required forms of identification. Make copies and attach them to your application. Make sure that the copies are clear and complete. Some states will require you to sign a sworn statement stating that the information and identification you submit is accurate. This statement must be signed in front of a notary public and bear the notary public's seal. You can usually find a notary public at a local bank branch, post office, law office, or city government office. A notary public may charge a small fee for his/her service. Send a check or money order along with your request form, copied identification documents, and sworn statement. Do not send cash. Make a copy of your request form in case you need to resubmit it. Processing time can vary depending on state, but your requested birth certificate should arrive in the mail within 10 to 12 weeks. Expedited requests may take as little as two weeks. Delays may occur if the information you provided is incomplete or inaccurate.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Keep your dog away from sharp objects on the ground. Don't allow your dog near chemicals or toxins on the ground. Check your dog's paws regularly for damage. Be sure to look between your dog's toes.

Answer: A dog's paws can be easily injured by walking on sharp or rough objects. Either keep your dog totally out of areas with sharp objects on the ground, or clean up the ground thoroughly before bringing your dog into one of these areas. For example, keep your dog out of work areas where metal shavings or glass fragments could be on the ground. As a rule of thumb, don't have your dog walk anywhere where you wouldn't walk barefoot. If your dog walks through a toxic substance, it could injure the dog's paw. The dog could also ingest the substance when it licks its paw. For example, floor cleaners can contain chemicals that are hazardous for your dog. When cleaning your floor with a strong chemical, keep your dog out of the area. Also look at the labels on your floor cleaners to make sure they are non-toxic to dogs. In order to protect your dog's paws from serious injury, it's important to keep an eye on their condition. Inspecting them on a regular basis for cuts, cracks, or punctures can help you catch problems before they become serious. Inspect your dog's paws on at least a weekly basis, if not daily. Look at them more often if your dog is spending a lot of time outdoors or in areas where its paws could be injured. If you take your dog running or hiking, make sure you're checking its paws throughout your trip. If they look worn down, let your dog rest. When inspecting your dog's paws for damage, you also need to look for problems between the toes, most often due to thorns or burrs getting embedded there. Removing these items quickly is important because they can easily cause infection and pain. If you spot a burr or thorn, use tweezers to remove it. Be gentle so that your dog is not resistant to your efforts, but also make sure you get a secure hold on the whole thing. A small piece that's broken off and left behind can be even harder to remove. If you cannot remove a burr or thorn completely, seek veterinary help. Leaving them embedded can create a severe infection and can impact your dog's ability to walk, so proper veterinary care is vital.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Break bad habits Find a mentor. Form a support group.

Answer:
. Breaking bad habits is a process that involves looking closely at your behavior and trying to determine what triggers your bad habit. However, you can break bad habits by identifying the things that trigger your habit, learning how to break the cycle, and rewarding yourself when it works. You can also develop a plan to help you deal with your triggers. Choose a good time to try to break a habit. It might be easier to try to break a bad habit while you are on vacation. Although it might not be possible to wait to break a habit until you go on vacation, you might at least want to choose a time when you are not too stressed to work on breaking a bad habit. Try to be patient. Keep in mind that it can take anywhere from 18 to 66 days to break a habit. Don't become discouraged if you find it difficult to break the habit at first. Remember to reward yourself. If you've had a great day where you did really well in your new habits and routines, praise yourself and give yourself a reward. Maybe eat a bowl of ice cream or go see a movie. Little rewards can affirm your progress, and they teach your brain to associate these new routines with pleasure. Perhaps you are struggling in a new career or you want to make a difference in your community. Ask an experienced person in that area to mentor you. Meet once a week or month to discuss your goals. Your mentor will share the struggles that they faced getting to the point where they are now. They can give you advice on your own hurdles and help you realize your potential. As you reinvent yourself, talk to your close friends about your progress. Tell them the kind of person you want to be, and as you face success and failure, talk through your thoughts and feelings. Good friends will provide positive affirmation, and a strong support group can increase your chances of success. If your friends tell you that you don't need to change, try not to listen to them. They may have good intentions, but if you are unhappy with your current state of being, such advice can be discouraging. Thank them for their concern, but emphasize that this is something you want to continue. True friends will remain with you through the journey.
