Article: Local venues include any location that allows you to sell a piece in person. These options are best when you don't expect or intend to make much money from your sales. Common local venues include garage sales, yard sales, want ads, flea markets, and swap meets. When someone attends a garage or yard sale, they usually expect prices to be low. If you need to make money quickly or have pieces that cannot be priced high, this option could still be worth considering. Want ads allow you to target serious buyers, but the cost of placing an ad may not be worth it if you advertise in a small newspaper. A better option would be to place an ad on a free classifieds website. Target high end flea markets and swap meets if you want to sell to serious buyers and make more money. Be aware, however, that you will usually need to pay to sell at these venues. Lladro dealers, including both authorized and unauthorized retailers, may buy Lladro pieces from you if the piece is valuable enough and in good enough condition. A dealer will seek to purchase the figure from you at a lower price so that he or she can turn around and sell it to another buyer at a higher price. If the retailer does not believe this to be possible, he or she probably won't want to buy your piece. The most common way to sell individual Lladro pieces is through online auctions. You can either go through a large auction website, like eBay, or look for one that specializes in Lladro and other porcelain figures. For best results, set a reserve price when you list an item. This will prevent the item from being sold for a value that is too low. It will cost you money to use an online auction service. Expect to pay a listing fee as well as a commission fee. If you have a large number of Lladro to sell and want to establish a store front or online shop, you might be able to qualify as a Lladro Authorized Retailer. Lladro's commercial organization is divided into territories, each of which falls under a branch company. Contact the Customer Service Department based in your location with the complete address of your point of sale. Your request will then be forwarded to the commercial manager of your regional area and handled from there.

Problem: Article: " Provide your cat with as many opportunities as possible to burn energy doing cat-like things such as hunting or playing. This is especially important for indoor cats, who may lack the mental stimulation that outdoor prowling provides. Getting the cat moderately tired out also helps to use up her nervous energy and to vent stress hormones in physical activity rather than over-grooming. Hide treats or dry food around the house and let her hunt for them. Have at least three 10-minutes sessions of one-on-one play with your cat. Dangle something enticing for it to chase or toss toys across the room. Cats love to chase and pounce. If you own more than one cat, make sure you play with each cat alone every day in addition to group playtime. Leave toys out your cat. Acquire a wide variety of toys, but only put a couple within reach of the cat at one time. Every few days pick up the toys you've made available to the cat and put down a couple of new ones. Consider locating a bird feeder outside a window for your cat's entertainment, or get an aquarium so your cat can watch the fish swimming. If you have more than one cat, they may be vying for food, water, toilet space, and attention. The pressure for resources can leave some cats feeling bullied. To make this less stressful, ensure that each cat has its needs provided for. There should be one litter box per cat, plus one spare, to decrease competition for toilet facilities. Be sure to keep the litter boxes clean, removing solid waste daily and regularly cleaning the box out with mild dish soap or a solution of bleach in water (1:30 ratio). Place multiple food bowls around the house, so that no one cat can monopolize the food at all times. A stray in your garden, or even your home (they can enter by cat door!) can make your cat feel psychologically threatened. Discourage visits from a stray by removing any food that might be attracting him. If your cat goes outside, consider installing a microchip-activated cat flap so the stray cannot come indoors. If the stressed cat can see the stray in the garden, it may help to block the lower part of the window to obscure that view (the cat equivalent of hiding your head in the sand, but it works).
Summary: Give your cat a sufficient amount of "challenging play. Provide other entertainment options. Reduce competition in households with multiple cats. Discourage stray visitors.

You may not know what openings are most commonly found on personal statements, but you can easily do an internet search for "personal statements" to get an idea. Reviewers read so many applications that they get bored of reading the same statements over and over again. Common cliches to avoid include things such as "From a young age, I have always been interested in...", "I have always been a...", defining dictionary terms, opening with a quotation, and using sweeping generalizations such as "Humans have always..." Avoid things that are overly general and could apply to anyone, such as "I want to become a physician because I want to help people." This says nothing particular about you. Most applications will also ask for a resume or CV that displays your accomplishments. While you should talk about significant experiences in your development, don't use your personal statement to rehash everything on your resume. Instead, try to pick one or two moments that really stick out to you as influencing your decision to apply to this program. You do not know the beliefs and values of the admissions committee reading your personal statement. While you may have strong beliefs about particular things, such as religion or politics, it is best to keep the tone of your personal statement neutral to avoid offending anyone who does not share them. This does not mean you can't mention things like religion if they are important to you. For example, you could say something like "I have honed my leadership skills by serving as a youth counselor for my church." However, you would probably want to avoid things such as "I know that God's plan is for me to cure cancer," since not everyone may believe in this. Of course, there are always exceptions. For example, if you are writing a personal statement to apply to a seminary program, it would be appropriate to talk about your religious beliefs in detail.
