So you have bought a Chinchilla? Chinchillas are fun and playful pets to have in your home. So what do you need for a Chinchilla? Well, there are many things you can buy for your new Chinchilla, but there are some basic things a Chinchilla requires to keep it healthy and alive!

HOUSING:

The first thing you will need to buy is a cage, big enough (no smaller than 3x3x3)for the Chinchilla to be able to get daily exercise, a two or three-level wire cage is best, they love to climb and jump. If you want to know why you need a big one then you should click on the link given here. Make sure the bottom of the cage is at least partly solid instead of all wire because the chinchilla’s feet will get sore from standing on the wire all the time. The second item you will need is some bedding or litter for the bottom of the cage for the Chinchilla to sleep in and poop and ( pee) which they like to pick a certain corner to do that. The bedding or litter needs to be made out of white pine, aspen, or Carefresh adding a 1-inch layer in the bottom every time you change it. The bedding or litter should be changed at least once a week. DO NOT EVER use cedar bedding or litter, because it contains phenols that are too strong for the Chinchilla and can cause serious health issues, such as skin irritation and breathing problems.

DIET:

The third thing you will need is some food for the Chinchilla. There are many brands to choose from, but as long as you get a kind that is made special for a Chinchilla that is a pellet form and not allots of treats added(anything that does not look like a pellet is a treat) will be fine. In addition to the pellet food, the Chinchilla needs Timothy hay and you can also offer weekly fresh vegetables and fruits to your Chinchilla, such as carrots, apple raisins, and banana’s once or twice a weak is enough. To many treats can make them sick. The Fourth thing you will need is a water bottle. If your cage did not come with a water bottle then you will need to but one. I suggest a glass because if you get a plastic one and the edge of the bottle is in chewing range the Chinchilla will chew it. I also recommend not using tap water and buying purified or distilled water from the store, because some water from the tap can contain harmful things to a Chinchilla.

HYGIENE:

The Fifth thing that is vital to a Chinchilla is taking a dust bath. This helps keep their coats clean and shiny. You will need to buy special dust made from volcanic ash. Just pour a cup or two of this dust in a med size plastic dishpan, place the Chinchilla in the pan and watch your Chinchilla roll, they love to roll and dig in this stuff and they are fun to watch them take a bath. The dust can be messy so make sure to do it where it is easy to clean up after the Chinchilla is finished Allow 10-15 min twice a week, no more than that or it will dry out their skin. The most common dust brands are Kaytee, Blue Cloud, and Blue Sparkle. When you see someone’s teeth and they are yellowish-orange and you atomically think wow they need a good cleaning, but with Chinchilla, this is very normal. this means they have enough calcium in their body.

If the Chinchilla’s teeth are a pale yellow then it will need an extra form of calcium. you can buy drops to add to their water. Chinchilla’s teeth also need to be filed down and they can do this by themselves by chewing on things, you should get some wooden chew toys or sticks and supply them in the cage. Make sure that the wood is safe for Chinchilla’s and not have been treated with harmful chemicals. Chinchilla can shed their fur like cats and dogs. You can reduce the amount of shedding but brushing your chinchilla once a day with a wire slicker brush. Just start from the head and work down to the tail.

There are some brands of dust that are scented but do not use theses with scents added in. Chinchillas are sensitive and these can cause respiratory problems.

These are the basic things needed for a Chinchilla, but here are some other things that are also factors to consider:

Chinchilla’s need lots of exercises. The safest way is for you to interact with them in a quite room and supervised. NEVER leave them untanned, they can get into many different things that can harm them. If you use the bath room for the Chinchilla to exercise in close the toilet lid because the Chinchilla can jump in the toilet and drown. Make sure that the room is safe to allow your Chinchilla to roam around such as no electric wires down where the Chinchilla can chew them, also make sure there are not any other harmful items they can chew. Chinchillas love to climb and jump, but they also can be hurt if they climb up something and jump too far, make sure that the room has no high places to jump from. Another form of great exercise for a Chinchilla is a running wheel in their cage. Please NEVER put a Chinchilla in one of those plastic balls you see in pet stores. They can cause Chinchilla harm, such as heat strokes( a chinchilla must be in temperature not higher than 75 degrees Fahrenheit or below 50 degrees Fahrenheit and because the ball is made of plastic and heats up easily when the Chinchilla pees in it), broken toes. Many Chinchilla has died in these exercise balls. Another good thing to add to the cage is a hiding area since Chinchilla is nocturnal(sleep all day, up all night). A wooden log that has been approved for a Chinchilla that has not been treated, makes a great place or a plastic igloo that you can find at the pest store. One good thing to buy when you purchase your Chinchilla is a care book or guide on them, it will answer allot of questions and concerns. All of the items mentioned in this article can be found out at most pet stores.

Erectile dysfunction becomes an increasingly common and frustrating problem as men get older. It’s estimated that up to seventy percent of males experience some degree of erectile dysfunction by the age of seventy. While some men turn to prescription medications to help solve this problem, these medications are expensive and have a variety of side effects. What if there was a food that could help erectile dysfunction? A food remedy for erectile dysfunction would be a less expensive and safer alternative to prescription drugs. Surprisingly, there’s evidence that an inexpensive picnic food found in the produce section of your local grocery store has a Viagra-like effect. What is this food? The watermelon!

According to Dr. Bhimu Patil who is director of the Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center at Texas A  amp; M, watermelon has a phytochemical component known as citrulline present in its rind. Although the benefits of citrulline are still being studied, it appears this chemical has the ability to relax blood vessels throughout the body. To exert this effect, the body converts the citrulline found in watermelon to an amino acid called arginine. Arginine has the ability to elevate levels of another substance found in the body known as nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide naturally dilates and relaxes blood vessels resulting in increased blood flow to the penis which can help erectile dysfunction. Interestingly, this is the same mechanism by which Viagra works to help erectile dysfunction. Different ways are made available through the experts for increasing the penis stamina in male. The production of the penis will be string if purchasing has been done after checking the hyper male force reviews. The selection of the best product will be easy and simple after availing of the reviews. 

The increased nitrous oxide induced by the citrulline in the watermelon may also benefit the heart and circulatory system by relaxing vessels and increasing blood flow to the heart. Some experts are proposing that citrulline may help the immune system function better as well as help to control diabetes and hypertension. Best of all, the citrulline in watermelon can help erectile dysfunction without the side effects of headache, indigestion, and flushing commonly seen with Viagra.

The only drawback to using watermelon to help erectile dysfunction is that the citrulline is found in highest concentrations in the rind of the watermelon which is a part not normally eaten. That’s why colleagues of Dr. Patil are working hard to breed watermelons that have higher concentrations of citrulline in the fleshy, edible part of the fruit

Because citrulline is not found in high concentrations in the fleshy, edible portions of the watermelon, it may be premature to stock up on this fruit to treat erectile dysfunction. You would probably have to eat large quantities of watermelon to help improve sexual function at all. It may be best to wait until new varieties of watermelon are developed with higher concentrations of citrulline. Of course, watermelon also has a variety of other health benefits that would make it an excellent addition to your diet.

There will be times when our computers get broken. When this happens, you certainly don’t want to replace it and buy a new one right away as it is not economical. Hence, the most ideal thing to do is to call a computer repair tech. But when doing so, it is important to consider first the following factors to ensure that you are dealing with a trustworthy and professional computer repair tech. 

Read Customers’ Feedback

When looking for a trustworthy computer repair tech, it is important that you pay attention to the reviews and feedback of customers. This will allow you to determine if the repair service that you are considering really provides effective and quality service. The good news is, you won’t have a hard time looking for customers’ reviews because everything can now be seen online. There are several blogs and open communication websites where people post and share their feedback about a particular product or service. Hence, you should be able to check some reviews online before hiring a computer repair tech.

On-site support

Certainly, the service will be more effective and reliable if the technician comes to your home and have your computer checked. It is more convenient than going to a mall or any place where there is a computer repair service. With the aid of technology, you no longer have to leave the comforts of your home when having your computer repaired. Most of the companies offer on site support so you get your computer fixed without going to repair services shops. While you will be charged extra for the service, the convenience is certainly worth the money.

Cost of Service

Another factor that you need to consider when finding a reliable computer repair tech is the cost of service. Surely, when you check online, there will be several repair services that you can find. But aside from the quality of service, you should also give attention to their rates. Generally, it is advisable to look for a repair technician that provides efficient and quality services and at the same time, provides reasonable and budget friendly service fees. Fixing your master computer should not leave your pocket empty.

Check credentials

You should also be able to check credentials when looking for a trustworthy computer repair tech. Make sure that they have the license to operate a business, professional certifications and even insurance. Make sure that they have insurance policy to cover the damage once the technician fries your drive accidentally. You should also be able if they have the right trainings to perform the service. Never trust a computer repair service with no documents at all. If you want to protect your computer from being totally damaged, choose the right technician. You can call your local authority to validate the company’s credentials.

Service Guarantees

You must also be able to assure service guarantees. This means that the technician should not charge you any service fees if he or she wasn’t able to fix your computer. So before any repairs are done, make sure to ask your technician if they offer warranties on labor and parts.

You’ve heard the expression a thousand times: “The customer is always right.” This, in a nutshell, expresses what good customer service looks like. Spelled out in more explicit terms, a business should: 1) listen to what a customer likes and does not like about your business, 2) keep all promises that they make, 3) when they fail to live up to a promise, make it up to the customer in some way, and 4) be helpful, even when there’s no apparent financial benefit to do so.

But what about furniture retailers? While good customer service seems to have made its way into business websites such as those operated by hotel chains and high-end clothiers, with furniture dealers, it’s a mixed bag. There are a few that do rather poorly, a few that seem to excel at customer service–with the rest somewhere in between. To evaluate the state of customer service among online furniture dealers, we examined six that give a good cross section. Hopefully after you see what each of these does right and wrong, you’ll be better equipped to know what you should look for before you shop for furniture online. Our six sample dealers are: Ashley Furniture (www.ashleyfurniture.com), Simplicity Sofas (www.simplicitysofas.com), J.C. Penney (www.jcpenney.com), Furnitureland South (www.furniturelandsouth.com), Overstock (www.overstock.com), and Ikea (www.ikea.com)..

1) SHOPPING ASSISTANCE.

While we tend to think of customer service as dealing with refunds and warranties, it actually starts before the purchase itself. That is, an exceptional store will help a person figure out what will work best for their home. Unfortunately, the big department store chains tend to be more reactive in customer service. For instance, in our sample group, J.C. Penney offers little assistance in planning your room, spending most of their customer-service efforts on explaining returns and warranties. At the other end of the spectrum is Simplicity Sofas, which uses a lot of its website, not just to sell, but to inform. They do so on their educational blog, newsletter, and by their offer to send free fabric samples–as far as we can tell, something that only they do..

Furniture Land South also makes a valiant effort at being helpful through their Design Folder. This allows you to select your favorite furniture from the site and send these to a consultant, who will contact you with further assistance. Ashley Furniture tries to add some education in the mix by offering cleaning and assembly instructions–though no real assistance to help you decide what to purchase. Overstock is mostly reactive like J.C. Penney. But by far, the least informative is Ikea, which offers only a “virtual agent” named Anna who answer all your questions. In actual practice, “Anna” is not much help at all. We’ll talk about her more later.

2) WARRANTIES.

After you’ve bought your furniture, the most important aspect of customer service is the warranty. That is, if the purchase doesn’t work out, you want to know what the company will do to correct the situation. Each of our sample group either offers their own warranty, or works with furniture manufacturers that do. However, some are much better than the others. For instance, J.C. Penney promises only that some furniture “may be subject to a manufacturer or store warranty,” and notes that if so, it’s “only valid for a limited time” and that “misuse by the customer voids all warranties.” They never explain what constitutes “misuse,” however. Contrast this with Simplicity Sofas, which has the most extensive furniture warranty that we’ve found on the Internet. They promise that if the customer is dissatisfied for any reason, they will refund the entire price, including shipping costs.. Granted, it’s easier for them to do this than the others, since they both manufacture and sell their product line, but still, it’s a significant difference from the others.

Ashley Furniture notes several times on their website that each store is independently owned. So what kind of warranty will you get? They can’t tell–because it depends on what your local store chooses to offer. Furniture Land South is happy to give you a refund or repair any item, provided you can prove that any defect happened because of them and that it was delivered in that condition. This means, they’ll do little for you if you not properly inspect the furniture as soon as it arrives and before the delivery man leaves.

If nothing else, Ikea is very blunt about their warranty responsibilities: “Ikea will examine the product and decide, at its sole discretion, if it’s covered under the limited warranty.”

3) COMMUNICATION.

Five of our six furniture dealers allow customers to contact them via email. Unbelievably, Ikea does not, preferring you to use “Anna” their virtual customer-service agent. We tried asking “Anna” how to get a refund, and no answer came back. Therein lies the problem with this approach. You usually have to phrase your question just right for virtual agents to even understand the question.

Each of our group has a toll-free number, and all of them offer Facebook accounts for their customers to use. However, Ashley Furniture appears to use theirs only to promote their products, and do not accept “wall” posts by customers.

It is not just with Ashley but many other furniture brands that care only about promotions so that their product will be in the spotlight as a result of which it will be more visible to public eye and once the sales start picking up, the furniture will be no less than a chairthrone.

As for the old-fashioned telephone call to the companies, both J.C. Penney and Overstock appear to have mere sales agents answering your calls. For that reason, they don’t seem to know that much about the furniture itself. Contrast this with the furniture-specific companies, Simplicity Sofas, Ashley Furniture and Furniture Land South. These seem more likely to have someone who knows the product answering their phones. What’s more, we found it especially easy to speak directly with the higher-ups at Simplicity Furniture, and frankly, those we spoke with seemed passionate about their product. At the bottom of the totem pole again was Ikea–offering only “Anna” the virtual agent to assist you.

Our conclusion is that slowly, furniture dealers are joining the rest of the online world in offering better customer service. However, many of them–if not most–have a ways to go before they are truly treating their customers as though they are “always right.” If you’ll be shopping for chairs, small sofas or other furniture soon, and if customer service is your concern, we recommend that you select a company that manufactures the product they sell. These are the ones who seem to have a passion for treating their customers right.

We lived in Palm Springs, had 3 cars, a beautiful home, and I never worked unless I wanted to. I had everything I wanted. When I decided to leave my husband, I left with nothing. This may sound strange but I had my reasons. I didn’t want anything from him; I just wanted to find some sort of happiness again. That was a prideful thing to do and I paid for it in every way possible.

I hadn’t finished my degree when I was married. I stayed at home with our children, worked part time, and then we opened a business of our own. We ended up losing our business and our marriage. We were still in good financial shape after all was said and done, but our marriage was in shambles.

After leaving, I soon discovered that I had no way to make the kind of money I was accustomed to. I worked as a server and a bartender for a short time. Credit card debt was out of control and my ex-husband wouldn’t help with any of the debt we had accumulated together. It was his way of “punishing” me for leaving; of making me suffer. I soon found myself awake every night worrying about paying for basic needs like food and shelter. Bankruptcy was my only reasonable option at the time and I filed.

Being married for so many years and having every luxury was something that I came to rely on. Having no real job experience, no degree, and no means to support myself and my children was a real eye opener. After getting the immediate debt taken care of with bankruptcy, I immediately returned to school and finished my Associates degree in business management. I began looking for a high paying job that I could excel in and stumbled into sales. I’ve now been doing this for three years and managed to buy two homes. I now have a great credit score and am doing very well financially. However, the road to this success was long and difficult. Good thing I sought help from bankruptcy lawyer san diego. They help me through the bankruptcy process. I did not have the knowledge about the legal process so I needed someone to help me. Good thing I found reliable lawyer. Through his help, I was able to get past the circumstance.

The financial side of divorce can be very ugly. I’ve learned to protect myself from this sort of thing happening again. I will never tie my finances to another persons, married or not. The fact is simple; someone can be angry with you and ruin you financially. It isn’t mature of them to do so but it happens. I will always be in control of my financial future and make my own decisions concerning money. I will not spend more than I make. I have become extremely thrifty and constantly save as much money as possible. I never want to find myself in that situation again but rather in a position of strength.

I have no problem trusting other people in relationships because of the actions of my ex-husband. I simply believe that there is no reason to put your entire financial future in another persons hands. You may think you know someone extremely well but the fact is that people change. Even someone you trust can surprise you. It just makes sense to protect yourself in this manner.

If you plan to visit the splendor of Scandinavia, you have three real choices of entry: Oslo, Stockholm, or the beautiful Copenhagen International Airport. Guess which one I recommend?

I have been to numerous airports in my almost 49 years, and I have to say that CPH is my favorite thus far. Just to give you an idea of what I am comparing this to, Charles De Gaul is crap. Frankfurt, Germany is rising rapidly in my estimation. Miami sucks big time. DFW is a pain in the butt. Tampa, Florida is a gorgeous airport, but CPH outshines even that.

First off, I have to rave about how utterly spotless CPH is. This is one of the few airports in the world that has not banished smokers, and yet it is the cleanest place I’ve ever seen. Kinda shoots down the smoking-is-dirty argument, eh? I mean to tell you that they keep CPH spit-polished and absolutely gleaming. I could spend all day here just wandering about and ogling the architecture.

Speaking of things to look at, do stop and take the time to admire the Mermaid statue and read the story behind it. This is a replica of the famous Mermaid at Langelinie in Copenhagen, which has been one of Denmark’s biggest tourist attractions since being sculpted by Edvard Eriksen and put up on August 23, 1913. The replica is the same size as the real thing at about 4ft tall, but it brings out a feeling of wistfulness in me when I see it. I won’t ruin it by relating the tale, so do go have a look for yourself and discover the story behind it.

Another major point in CPH’s favor is the shopping. Yes, I said that. Look, if I’m going to have a layover of several hours somewhere, then I like to have something to do besides sit and twiddle my thumbs at the terminal. Browsing a myriad of wonderful stores is a wonderful pastime. This is also a great place to pick up those souvenirs you may have forgotten for Aunt Bessie while you await your flight out of the region. After all, they do suggest checking in 3 hours prior to your flight if you are going International, but it never takes that long so you have to do something, right? Well, there ya go.

Now, a lot of airports know they have captive shoppers and rake you over the coals on prices because of it. CPH shops do not do that. Not just the Duty Free places either; they all keep the prices within reason when compared to shopping outside the airport. Major points for that. They accept Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Euros, or credit cards for payment.

Food is all over the place here also. If you go hungry, it’s your own fault. Eateries are all around you and priced within reason. Go ahead and have one last mouth-watering Danish pastry before you leave… or heck, as soon as you land even!

As far as checking in here goes, well that is pretty dependant upon which airline you chose to fly with, isn’t it? I can say that the staff at British Airways, Lufthansa and Air France are always very congenial and efficient. Even when the lines appear long, the staff seem to have the magic touch of being able to move them along at a nice clip… and smile while they do it.

Now what about security, eh? Well, it is a much more pleasant experience at CPH than departing from ANY airport in the US, I can tell you that. They do not look at you like you are a criminal, nor do they treat you suspiciously just because they can. No. They are all very nice here and almost seem apologetic about the whole thing. You do not have to remove your shoes either.

As far as landing here goes, no need to fret about finding everything. Most Scandinavians learn English as a second language from grade school on so don’t be afraid to ask an airport employee anything. They are happy to answer. Also, the signs are mostly in Dansk, but usually have an English counterpart. They all have pictures that are easy to decipher.

Baggage claim is pretty much similar to any other airport. Which is to say easy to find, but a cat fight to elbow in to grab your bag. Heh. They have carts all over for your use so you don’t have to lug everything out yourself. Those carts are free of charge, too. I’ll give ya a tip here: Push down on the handle to get them to move. They have the break set by default; so pushing down on the handle releases that.

Parking has never been a problem here either for us. There is always a space readily available. You take a card from the machine, and then when you wish to leave, you find a different parking machine and stick your card in that and pay. You then get a receipt which will get you past the exit and out to that huge gorgeous bridge connecting Denmark to Sweden… or into Copenhagen proper should you decide to explore that a bit, and well you should. I mean, I just know you will be anxious to come see me in Sverige and all, but do take the time to hang out in Denmark a bit first. You will be glad you did.

If you need a Taxi or rental car, those can be found right off the luggage claim area, and the train to all points Scandinavian has a nice stop at this airport as well. You don’t have to worry about the quality of the service they provide because they are one of the best. They are like aspen to vail shuttle service so you can ensure that they are reliable and effective.

So, as you have figured out by now, when you are coming into or are leaving Scandinavia, do use CPH rather than the other two. Not that those other choices are bad, mind you, but just that CPH is so great that it should be part of your to do list anyway.

To those of us who are not technologically gifted, the acronym “HTML” tends to intimidate us a little. Well no more. In this short article I am going to help you understand what HTML is, how it works, and how you can begin writing code in HTML.

First, definitions: HTML stands for hypertext markup language. “Tags” are the pieces of HTML code that help define how something will look or act. For example: a “less-than angle bracket” followed by an “a” with a bunch of stuff in the middle and closed with a “less-than”, “backslash”, “a”, and “greater-than bracket” is used to describe a section of hyperlinked text or image. Nearly all HTML tags have a start tag and an end tag which are used to open and close a section of code. Any tags that do not require a closing tag are known as “empty tags”. Later in this article I will show links to a few different tags and how they can be used.

HTML is basically a language that is used to describe how things will appear on a web page. Without HTML text can be typed and saved to a web page. While the text will appear, it will appear in plain text. This means that the letters and spaces will appear but there will be no formatting what so ever. No paragraphs, no line breaks, no special font, no change in font size, no color, etc…(you get the point). With HTML, a plain web page can be converted into a true piece of art. HTML is what communicates to web browsers. Web browsers read HTML and then display the page based on the instructions provided through the HTML code.

If you are actually planning on doing something big with HTML, I strongly recommend that you an HTML editor. I will explain more about this in a minute. For now, an editor allows you to format text and images as you normally would on a word processor and then get the HTML code that corresponds with what you developed. This way you do not have to write the entire page using code. However, so that you understand how HTML works and in case you just need to make minor changes in code, here are a few examples of some different HTML tags. Just click on the link to see what the tags look like.

• HTML tag for hyperlinked text
• HTML tag for paragraph
• HTML tag for an image
• HTML tag for a line break

HTML can allow you to create anything you want. You can even create tables using HTML to format where you want certain images or text to appear. As I mentioned earlier, the best way to do this is to use an HTML editor. I personally recommend using Mozilla’s SeaMonkey editor which is available through the SeaMonkey browser and application suite. It does not cost anything and it is very easy to use. Click here to go to the download page for SeaMonkey. Downloading and installing SeaMoney is simple and usually only takes a few minutes.

It is a foolproof way of editing software in an easy format and if it comes for free, who wouldn’t want to have it and on top of it all, SeaMonkey is one of the best browsers of modern times that any reputed web design Sydney would want to have.

Once you have installed and opened the SeaMonkey browser, look for the drop-down tab titled “Window” near the top of the page. Click on the “Composer” tab to open the composer. In the composer you can begin to create a file much like you would if you were using a word processor. You can do a lot of things using the composer such as add images, enhance text, insert links, and build tables.

You will notice a set of tabs located near the bottom of the page which read “Normal”, “HTML Tags”, “Source” and “Preview”. Once you have completed your work (or if you would like to preview your work in HTML), click the “Source” tab. All your work will be immediately converted into HTML code. To revert back to your previous view, just click the “Normal” tab and you will be back in “word processor” mode. Using the source view you can use the new HTML code you have created by copying and pasting the code where ever you need it. The SeaMonkey composer also has some options for publishing which can be accessed by clicking the “Publish” tab located near the top-center of the page. You can design a lot using this technique and you don’t have to have a bunch of HTML memorized or study HTML guidebooks till your blue in the face. Using an HTML editor/composer can make a daunting HTML project seem a whole lot easier and more enjoyable.

As a proofreader and professional bookworm, you will face the toughest challenge a book can offer. Try not to listen to it, not to go beyond the surface, try to ignore its meaning. Let alone enjoying the story for yourself. Throughout my work, I have learned to be detached in a rather critical way from the piece of writing that I have to work on. No Barthes with his Le Plaisir du texte can come into the picture. The piece will not become mine. I am the mere cleaner, the maid who makes the princess shine at her full bright.

One advice you might like to follow is to read backwards. Read every paragraph from its last sentence proceeding to the first one. This way you force yourself not to get involved in the story which may prove to be too risky in trying to maintain an objective attitude.

When we read, we do not read character by character, or even word by word. Reading is like playing music. You concentrate on the whole and it is enough to see the first and last letters of a word to figure out what it can be. Our brain builds up the “real” meaning of a word by the context and image of it, which consequently may not be the real thing knowing how fallible human mind is.

As a musician, I do not concentrate on the note I am playing at the moment, rather I am reading ahead in the notes. My brain is able to transfer the information from my brain cells to my fingers with a slight time of retardation. The risk stands for reading as well. You get carried away with the story and you no longer care if it was an “advice” or “advise” you read about.

Keep your desk tidy and spacious. You will need a lot of room on your desk. Often people tend to disregard this tip and pile up books, coffee mugs, and pencil sharpener on their desk. Yeah, it looks cool to be busy but I am the living proof, Einstein risked a lot with spilling coffee over his studies. Similarly, you can also not afford yourself to be asking for a second copy since all your material got soaked in some sticky fluid, or worse, a proof to trace your dinner menu back on. Before starting the education, he students should know that is proofread anywhere legit. The offering of the education should be under the guidelines of the government. The annual fees for the study should be reasonable for the children to get them pass and promote to the next class, The selection of always legal class should be done after checking. 

Help your eyes with a ruler or an envelope to lead you line by line. This way the speed of your reading will slow down not allowing you to “believe” having read something that is not there at all.

Talking about tools, you will use different colours in proofreading.

You will need a red pen to mark typesetter errors.

Non-typesetter errors are marked in blue. Marks in blue might be correcting errors by the editor or alterations made by the author. The reason for differentiating between the types of change is that typesetters do not charge for correcting their own mistakes.

There may be occasions when you are unsure whether to make a change. In such cases, use a pencil to mark the change and carry on proofreading.

Green is used by the typesetter’s reader (proofreader) to raise their own queries to point out matters marked in the edited typescript to be dealt with in proof.

Some publishers differentiate between changes that are made by the author and those correcting an error by the editor. Red and green are assigned to the typesetter, black and blue are used for the editor and author changes.

However, unless otherwise instructed, always use blue ink to mark your changes in a standard way.

Other tools you need to have at hand are a good dictionary, a thesaurus, and maybe a grammar reference book.

We are not infallible, therefore it is worth to keep record of your mistakes from your previous works, and refer to these before you start proofing. For example, one typical mistake of mine is when the publishing house uses -ize form, I tend to keep -ise as I learnt at school.

It might be useful (however, may be somewhat time consuming) to proofread for one type of error at a time. If punctuation marks prove your major problem, it is worth going over the copy just looking at commas, colons, etc. After you have done this, you can escalate to the next error type.

Proofreading, like all other mental exercise, is best done in the morning, or when you are most alert (some of us are night owls and prefer to work when all is quiet).

Similarly, if you are the author and editor of your work in one person, you need to give yourself some time to “forget” what you have written. Knowledge of the text makes proofreading all the more difficult. You might need one night before you start editing the finished work.

If time allows you, and you have some help, ask someone else to read the text to find odd or unclear sentences. A clear eye will always find something extra that your eye might have skipped anyway.

As a first filter, you can use a grammar and spell checker, but do not depend on them. Read the body first, then go back to the headings. Proofreaders sometimes forget to proof the headings.

Look at all the unusual fonts, like italics or bold, make sure they are really needed and correctly applied. Here I would like to mention the boilerplate text, for example the company letterhead, which also needs to be checked as it is still part of the document.

Once you have spotted the typos, you can go back to read again for sense and meaning. Even though, you are not an editor, you can also spot mistakes and unclear meaning.

Review page numbers, headers and footers that they are accurate and in order.

My New Year’s resolution when I was 18 was to start smoking. I was up to a pack a day by the time I was 19. I smoked a pack of Camels a day until I was 32. I got married at 31, and I quit for my husband.

The miracle was that a non-smoker married me in the first place. It must have been because I was skinny. All those years, I smoked instead of eating in the evening. I stank of cigarette smoke all the time, though. Cigarette stink was in my hair, clothes, and car. It even oosed out of the pores of my skin. I also knew it was killing me.

I quit cold turkey.

I did not use nicotine gum, pills or patches. Truth to tell, it was not really the nicotine that had me hooked on smoking. I actually liked the feeling of having the smoke in my lungs. I liked the process of smoking: taking out the cigarette and tapping it on its filter to tamp down the tobacco, lighting the end, drawing in the smoke and letting it out.

Deciding to quit was the hard part.

The whole 13 years I smoked, I knew it was hurting my chances of ever getting married. I knew the smoke was damaging my lungs and might give me lung cancer. For all those years, the “pleasure” of smoking outweighed the damage I knew it was doing.

Thank God, my husband loved me anyway and married me, smoke stink and all. His gift of loving me made me want to give him the gift of a wife whose kisses didn’t taste like an ash tray. It took a year, but finally my desire to please my husband won out over the “pleasure” of smoking.

I changed into a non-smoker overnight.

I had to identify myself as a non-smoker. The day I decided to quit smoking, I bagged up all my cigarettes, lighters and ash trays and threw them in a dumpster five miles away from my house. I washed all my clothes and bedding. I sprayed my curtains and upolstery. I left all my doors and windows open all day. I had my car professionally detailed.

What I did instead of smoking:

Unfortunately, I ate instead of smoking. I gained about 8 pounds a year for the next 15 years. By last year I weighed 240 pounds. Deciding to lose the weight was the hard part, but today I only weigh 161.

If I had it to do over:

I wish I had brushed, flossed and gargled whenever I got the urge to smoke at home. I could have stayed skinny and healthy by chugging bottled water whenever I got the urge to smoke in the car or at work. At parties I wish I had brought soap bubbles to blow instead of munching on the appetizers.

Or… I could have also used vape instead of cigarettes. Some experts recommend vaping over the traditional way of smoking (cigarette). I should have visited greyhaze.co.uk. This website offers e-cigarette kits and other accessories needed for vaping.

The urges gradually went away.

I’d say it took about a year before the urges to smoke no longer came on their own. Five years later, I could see or smell other people smoking and not want to join them. Even today I avoid hanging out in places where people are smoking, but the smell of cigarette smoke doesn’t tempt me near as much as it did that first year after I quit.
