Article: The dorsal fin is located on the top of the fish, about two to three inches from the fish's head. Male guppies have longer dorsal fins that flow in the water as they swim around. Female guppies have shorter dorsal fins that do not trail in the water as they swim. The guppy's tail fin, or the caudal, can help you determine the sex of the guppy. Male guppies have wide, long caudal fins that are often brightly colored, with elaborate patterns. Female guppies will have shorter caudal fins that are not as wide and long as the males. The guppy's anal fin is located under the fish and is the smaller fin right before the tail fin. A male guppy will have an anal fin that is long and narrow, with a slightly pointed end. He will use his anal fin to deliver sperm into the female. In contrast, a female guppy will have a shorter anal fin that appears triangular in shape. Her gravid spot will be located right above her anal fin.

Look at the shape of the guppy's dorsal fin. Check the shape of the guppy's tail fin. Notice the length and shape of the guppy's anal fin.
Article: Your spouse can file a response to your divorce petition. You'll receive a copy, which you should read closely. Check if your spouse is fighting you on child custody, spousal maintenance, or the division of property. If you disagree on any issue, then your divorce is contested and you'll probably have to attend a status conference. This will be determined by a mandate from the court. At the conference, you'll discuss what issues you disagree on. If a conference is required, the court should tell you what documents to bring. The judge might require that you participate in mediation. You'll meet with a neutral third party (the mediator) to talk about the dispute. Mediators are skilled at getting people to listen to each and reach agreement. Mediation will save you time and money if you can agree on all issues, so give it your best shot. In an uncontested divorce, the court can grant your divorce after you submit an affidavit. This will generally take the place of you actually having to show up in court. From start to finish, a divorce takes at least 90 days to complete. No two contested divorces are the same. However, you generally can expect to be in court regularly, maybe even once a month. Your contested divorce will culminate with a contested hearing on all issues you and your spouse cannot agree on. You can present witnesses at the contested hearing. For example, if you are fighting over child custody, you can call people to testify about your relationship with your children. You will probably also have to testify on your own behalf. If you have a lawyer, they can help you prepare your testimony, otherwise you should prepare a statement to deliver in court.

Read your spouse's response. Attend a status conference. Mediate any disputes. Finalize an uncontested divorce. Finish a contested divorce.
Article: If you are in a dispute with your HOA can be because the HOA is taking action against you or because you are taking action against the HOA. If the HOA is taking action against you, it is typically in order to collect past dues and fines. If you are taking action against your HOA it is usually in order to ask a court to require the HOA to perform the responsibilities it is obliged to perform under the rules. For example, to approve your reasonable request for improvements to your home. If your board does not provide you with a specific section of the rules that you are breaking, you will need to find it. Sometimes, the rules do not say what the HOA's Board members think they say. Look for general or ambiguous language. (Or, for that matter, completely absent or omitted language.) In some cases, different sections in the HOA documents internally conflict, i.e. say opposite things regarding the same issue. In general, keep copies of emails, letters, bills, and warnings from the HOA. If you have a conversation with anyone acting as a representative of the HOA, be sure to write down your understanding of the conversation in the form of a confirmation letter, and mail a copy of that letter to the HOA. This gives the HOA an opportunity to correct anything you might have misheard. If the HOA does not correct your understanding, as set forth in your letter, the statements in your letter could serve as strong evidence of what was actually said. If the HOA has routinely violated or ignored the rules in the past, while presently seeking to enforce a rule against you arbitrarily, you will be able to document that the HOA is not treating you fairly and reasonably. This is showing how the HOA has dealt with your similar issue in the past. As a member, if you were granted an exception to the HOA Rules, be sure to document that exception in writing, specifying precisely what was granted, who granted it, when, and for what time period. Some such exceptions might need to be recorded with your county recorder's office in the same way as your property deed. To avoid keeping heaps of paper, simply scan these documents and keep electronic copies, ensuring that you have adequate file backups in case of a computer malfunction, burglary, or catastrophic loss. This includes incorporating your state's current HOA governing statutes. If not, your HOA Rules may be found to be unenforceable by the court. For instance, a number of states have enacted laws governing flags and solar panels placed upon structures and the Federal Communications Commission governs the placement of antennas and satellite dishes.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Determine the nature of your action or conflict. Review the HOA rules. Document your actions. Make sure your HOA has updated and amended their rules recently.
