			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To determine who shall assume the debt in a married or not, it is necessary to distinguish the obligation debt of the contribution to the debt.</p>
<p><em>The obligation debt</em></p>
<p>We must determine what assets will be seized by creditors of one or other of the couple.</p>
<p>* Marriage<br />
For spouses married under the statutory scheme (community property), the principle is that each spouse incurs a debt also commits its own assets, common property. The only limit on earnings and wages of the debtor&#8217;s spouse. They escape to the creditors of the latter, except for household debt, secured debts of both spouses even committed by one. And yet, for it is only for an amount equivalent to about one month&#8217;s salary of the spouse for the rest is regarded as savings and fell under the yoke of creditors.<br />
However, for debts incurred by one spouse before marriage or during marriage by way of a <a href="http://customerdataplus.com/blog/2008/11/30/what-is-money-laundering/">loan</a> or security for personal needs, the creditor can only take private property and the income of the debtor spouse but neither own or common property remaining. Where consent of the other spouse, the creditor may also take the entire community property, only private property is still spared.</p>
<p>* The PACS<br />
PACS partners are jointly held together (each can be sued for the entire debt) debt incurred by one of them to the needs of everyday life and for expenditure on the common housing.<br />
The treatment of assets acquired during the PACS is set to either the Pact by the act of purchase, or by applying the rules of ownership. Thus, the debt will be borne by one or the other spouse or both, but the extent of the amount invested by each.</p>
<p>* Cohabitation<br />
Each partner supports its own assets and debts contracted personally and even everyday expenses incurred in the interest of the couple.</p>
<p><em>The contribution to debt</em></p>
<p>This is ultimately determined that one or the other couples would bear the burden.</p>
<p>* Marriage<br />
Are supported by only one spouse has debts he incurred for the acquisition, improvement or preservation of a property that is clean, those born before the marriage, those who were born during the marriage, originate a conviction because of a criminal offense or a tort.<br />
All other liabilities shall be borne by the community, that is to say the couple on the common property, unless it is shown to have been contracted in the interest of a spouse.<br />
If the community has paid such costs, a reward (that is to say the payment of compensation) it will be due at the time of dissolution of marriage. Conversely, if a spouse has paid a debt with the help of private property, then it was incumbent on the community, it will reward him.</p>
<p>* The PACS<br />
The secured debts are borne equally by both partners. For other debts, they are borne personally by the partner who is debtor or debtor should have been.</p>
<p>* Cohabitation<br />
Here the contribution to the debt obligation to join the debt, each of the couple ultimately personally supporting the debt of its own.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Home decorating is not something that requires a vast fortune in order to do. Nor is it something that must be accomplished all at once. The ideal manner to decorate a home is one step at a time, one room at a time. This makes the process much less stressful, more enjoyable, and imminently more affordable. Some great ideas are to start small then work your way up.</p>
<p>Paint is one of the least expensive things you can do to a room that will have the most immediate and profound impact on the overall look and feel of the room in question. By selecting the paint colors and painting the walls before anything else is done everything else can be done in order to match the colors you have placed on the walls. More importantly, paint is something that the average person is capable of doing on their own rather than being forced to hire experts in order to get it done. Any home improvement project that you can do yourself will save more money than you can imagine along the way.</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve managed changing your walls, you may wish to change your window treatments. Roman shades are an excellent choice as they are rather simple to make (which would leave you only the cost of the fabric and supplies) but they are not the only option. I would recommend some sort of curtains as a form of window treatment as they are much more personal than the typical mini blinds found in so many homes today. Curtains or Roman shades can be purchased to match the colors on your walls and should not be a terribly expensive investment.<br />
<span id="more-569"></span><br />
Flooring has in the past often been out of reach of those seeking to casually improve the look of a room. New technology and materials have made new flooring a valid option even for those who are on seriously limited home decorating budgets. Laminates are a good option for those who love the look of hardwood but cannot afford the expense of materials and/or labor for these floors in their homes. Laminates can often be installed by even those with limited skills and make a very noticeable change in the look and feel of a room. Peel and stick tile is another option for those whose budgets will not accommodate laminate flooring. Check out the options and the prices at your local home improvement store. You just might be amazed at what you can afford.</p>
<p>Rather than purchasing new furniture to make an impressive impact on the look of your living area, try furniture covers. These can often be purchased in shades that will match your new décor and are much less expensive than new furniture leaving money for the little touches that matter so much in the overall look of the room. Besides, when friends and family walk in and see the changes they will be shocked and amazed. They may even be convinced that you do in fact have new furniture.</p>
<p>Mirrors are excellent tools to use when decorating a home. More importantly, they are rather inexpensive for the most part. Mirrors also lend the appearance of a much more wide-open space than having no mirrors would accomplish. If you have a fire place, strategically located mirrors can spread the warmth and coziness (if not the heat) of a fire throughout the room making the room as a whole seem like a much more enjoyable place to escape the winter &#8220;blahs&#8221;.</p>
<p>Artwork, candles, vases, and floral arrangements can be purchased one piece at a time in order to give the room a more polished look. Once you&#8217;ve decorated one room in your home with these budget tips in mind you can move on to other rooms in your home and incorporate the same ideals as you go. Remember that decorating your home doesn&#8217;t have to cost a fortune but it will require some patience and planning on your part. With this in mind, there should be nothing to stop you from heading out today and getting to work on your new home decorating plans.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Patient&#8217;s rights</strong></p>
<p>1. You have the right to be called by your surname. If you are called by your first name, you have the right to call the doctor by his—it keeps the relationship on even ground.</p>
<p>2. You have the right to be interviewed with your clothes on. You should not have to give your history and symptoms while you&#8217;re in stirrups or sitting on an examining table, wrapped in nothing but paper.</p>
<p>3. You have the right to be notified of all test results-abnormal and normal-in a timely fashion. Some doctors will choose to mail you a note, others will call you or even ask you to come back. But you shouldn&#8217;t have to chase down your M.D. or the report.</p>
<p>4. You have the right to your 15 minutes with the doctor. That means—barring an emergency—there are no interruptions, no phone calls, no extraneous people walking into the room.</p>
<p>5. You have the right to be seen within a half hour of your appointment. Making you wait for an hour or more is unconscionable—it sends the message that the doctors time is more valuable than yours. If your physician is delayed, there should be an apology and an explanation—or I believe you should not have to pay the bill.</p>
<p>But a patient can&#8217;t expect these courtesies without being part of the team. Here&#8217;s your part of the bargain:</p>
<p><strong>Doctor&#8217;s rights</strong></p>
<p>1. Your<a href="http://customerdataplus.com/blog/2008/01/23/what-type-of-a-doctor-is-an-allergist/"> doctor</a> has the right to know the truth about your habits. Admit to the alcohol  and  cigarettes.  Tell  him about the herbal medications and over-the-counter products you are taking. They can affect treatment.</p>
<p>2. Your doctor has the right to know if you&#8217;re confused. Ask questions. And if you feel uncertain about a diagnosis or treatment, ask for a second opinion. A good doctor won&#8217;t mind.</p>
<p>3. Your doctor has the right to know if you aren&#8217;t going to follow his advice. Just say so. It is frustrating, even dangerous, for a physician to believe that you&#8217;re going along with a certain regimen when you&#8217;re not.</p>
<p>4. Your doctor has the right to expect you to be on time. If you&#8217;re running late, call the office. Nothing irritates an M.D. more than waiting for the 5:00 p.m. patient only to have her arrive at 6:00—or not at all.</p>
<p>5. Your doctor has the right to see only the patient who made the appointment. Don&#8217;t bring another family member for a quick checkup. The choreography  of our  day is  complicated; throwing in an extra exam may seem like a shortcut to you, but it can derail an entire office schedule.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We always want to have something that others praise or appreciate. Some of us even want to get something in order to satiate our comfort levels.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When thinking over a <u>gift</u> for a friend, or some other person whom you love and respect you certainly wish to find something that is useful, functional and beautiful.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Approximately eighty percent of young adults are experiencing acne dilemma. <a href="http://customerdataplus.com/blog/2009/01/14/do-chocolate-and-greasy-foods-really-cause-acne/">Acne</a> is just a short-lived problem. However, the scars that acne left could be carried all through out their lives if not treated immediately. People say that acne scars cannot be deleted. But that is not true. There is a hope for acne scars nowadays. Examples are the collagen injection, laser treatments and using your own fats to cover up scars.</p>
<p>Before going into details of all these treatments, let&#8217;s try to look into the causes of acne scars to be able to know why a scar is left behind when the acne heals. Generally, the reason why there are scars after wound are healed is because of the damaged tissue. If there is a damaged tissue, the body tries to heal the wound to protect it from further infections. In cases like acne, skin pores are covered with excess oil or dead skin hindering the secretion of the natural oils. It will create a perfect place for bacteria to stay that will irritate the skin layers and will soon lead to acne. First symptoms of acne are itchiness that&#8217;s why we tend to rub or pick it. Such action will irritate the sensitive skin tissues that will oftentimes result to wounds or aggravated acne. Thus, when it heals the scar will be left behind.<br />
<span id="more-570"></span><br />
Now, one of the most popular and used acne scar treatment is the injection of collagen under the surface or layer of the scarred skin. Collagen will not create any chemical reaction to erase the scar rather it will make the scarred skin even and makes it unnoticeable. This kind of treatment doesn&#8217;t need to be done repeatedly since collagen cannot be absorbed by the body.</p>
<p>Another technique for acne scar treatment is the use of laser devices to erase scars. These techniques are very effective but a specialist is needed to facilitate the operation. In cases like there are deep scars to be treated, skin grafting or even a skin surgery will be considered. The operation is also expensive but the effect is very rewarding.</p>
<p>There is another technique wherein a fat from your body will be transferred by injecting it under the scarred skin. This process is called autologous fat transfer. This is a good technique since there are no chemical reactions in the body. However, it needs to be done repeatedly because fats can be absorbed into the body. If that happens, the scar will be seen again.</p>
<p>These three acne scar treatments are just a few of the many techniques in treating acne scars. Nowadays, scar is never a problem. And there is a hope for acne scars. Yet the best way to get rid of them is to avoid them. Keep your face and body clean all the time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is normal to shed hair every day and the truth is we loose between 100-125 hairs on any given day. Hair that is shed falls out at the end of growth cycle. At any given time 10% of our hair is in what is called a “resting phase” and after 2-3 months resting, hair falls out and new hair grows in its place. Some people, however, experience more hair loss than is normal.</p>
<p>As we get older, both men and women experience some hair loss. It’s a normal part of the aging process. Called Androgenetic Alopecia, it accounts for 95% of all hair loss. Which is why most people should consider using something like <a href="http://hairlossrelief.org/provillus.html" target="_blank">Provillus</a>. Androgentic Alopecia often runs in families and affects some people more than others. In men it is often referred to as Male Pattern Baldness.</p>
<p>It is characterized by a receding hair line and baldness on the top of head. Women, on the other hand, don’t go entirely bald even if their hair loss is severe. Instead, hair loss is spread out evenly over their entire scalp.<br />
<span id="more-568"></span><br />
Hormones play the dominant role when talking about Androgenetic Alopecia. Simple put, both men and women produce testosterone. Testosterone can be converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) with the aid of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. DHT shrinks hair follicles causing the membranes in the scalp to thicken, become inelastic and restrict blood flow. This causes the hair follicles to atrophy. As a result, when a hair does fall out, it is not replaced unless you are using something like <a href="http://hairlossrelief.org/provillus.html" target="_blank">Provillus</a>.</p>
<p>Needless to say, men produce more testosterone than women and experience more hair loss.</p>
<p>While Androgenetic Alopecia is the number one reason why individuals experience hair loss, it is not the only one. Medical conditions such as hypothyroidism, ringworm and fungal infections can cause hair loss. Certain medications such as blood thinners, gout medication, birth control pills and too much vitamin A can cause sudden or abnormal hair loss as can following a crash diet, sudden hormonal changes, chemotherapy and radiation.</p>
<p>Emotional stress, pregnancy, or surgery can also cause our hair to fall out and is usually not noticed until 3-4 months after the stressful event has taken place. Stress can cause a slowing of new hair growth because a larger number of hair follicles enter into the resting phase and no new hair growth is experienced.</p>
<p>Another way in which individuals experience hair loss is due to mechanical stressors on the hair and scalp. Wearing pigtails, cornrows or tight rollers that end up pulling on the hair can scar the scalp and cause permanent hair loss. Hair products such as hot oil treatments and chemicals used for permanents can cause inflammation to the hair follicles which can also result in scarring and hair loss.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Motion sickness is a condition that occurs in some people when boating, flying or driving. It is estimated that as many as 80 percent of the population has experienced motion sickness at some time. Most people suffer only mild to moderate symptoms. For example, they may have a feeling of uneasiness or a slight headache in mild cases whereas they may experience nausea, dizziness, sweating, vomiting, disorientation and an inability to function in stronger cases. The motion of a boat on the ocean often causes the most severe symptoms. Natural therapies and valuable self-care techniques go a long way in controlling and even eliminating symptoms of motion sickness.</p>
<p>Motion sickness often begins in the inner ear, which is responsible for the body&#8217;s sense of balance. Projecting upward and posteriorly from the vestibule in each ear are three rings called semicircular canals that are filled with fluid. When your head and body move in an atypical manner, the fluid inside these canals moves in patterns that are not typical of our normal &#8220;feet on the ground&#8221; sense. When your head experiences constant, pronounced movement, this fluid stimulates the nerve fibers that monitor balance, causing dizziness, nausea, sweating and vomiting.</p>
<p><span id="more-566"></span><br />
<a href="http://customerdataplus.com/blog/2009/02/10/cataracts-and-aging/">Vision</a> also plays an important part in causing the symptoms of motion sickness. A changing view of the normally constant horizon and other visual reference points aggravates the inner ear.</p>
<p>Anxiety is the third mechanism that contributes to motion sickness. For some individuals, the fears of flying or claustrophobia exacerbate symptoms. Anxiety based on previous attacks also worsens symptoms, which then follow the prior course: head motion, visual stimulation and anxiety.</p>
<p><strong>Conventional Treatment</strong></p>
<p>The most common conventional treatment is dimenhydrinate, also known as Dramamine, which comes in tablet form. Dimenhydrinate affects the central nervous system by causing drowsiness. These drugs reduce histamine and acetylcholine levels in the blood.</p>
<p>Meclizine hydrochloride, also known as Bonine, is a popular antihistamine used for motion sickness. Some people may need medication to stop motion sickness, especially if they are on the ocean. Motion sickness from flying and driving, however, can often be handled without drugs.</p>
<p><strong>Natural Treatments</strong></p>
<p>By discovering which of the three mechanisms (head motion, visual stimulation or anxiety) exacerbates your symptoms the most, you can gain control over the intensity of motion sickness. Keep in mind that reducing anxiety is an important step in preventing and controlling motion sickness. Therefore, any methods that control stress in your life are helpful. Deep breathing, meditation and prayer all calm the nervous system. The following natural remedies can help with motion sickness:</p>
<p>Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is the best researched and most effective herbal medicine for motion sickness. In Germany, ginger is a licensed over-the-counter medication that is sold under the label &#8220;Dyspepsia; prevention of motion sickness.&#8221; Ginger combats motion sickness by inhibiting cholinergic and histamine activity that is produced by an over stimulated inner ear. Traditional herbal beliefs hold that ginger warms and calms the stomach and gastrointestinal tract while also helping to ground and center the body. The body then isn&#8217;t affected by changes in the environment.</p>
<p>Ginger root is classified as an aromatic bitter that stimulates digestion, improves secretion of bile from the liver and gallbladder and protects stomach irritation from non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen. Ginger also has a sedative effect on the nervous system, which explains its value in treating motion sickness.</p>
<p>Dosage is based on body weight and severity of symptoms. Mild cases may benefit from 500 mg of the root; however, the recommended dosage is 1,000 mg taken 20 to 25 minutes before flying and repeated every two hours. Tablets and capsules generally work best and are convenient on trips. Take 2 to 6 capsules three hours before traveling. You can also make ginger tea by boiling 1 to 4 ounces of chopped ginger root. Experiment with dosages to find one that works for you. Ginger is a safe herb: If a lower dose is not effective, try a dose three times the normal amount. There are alcohol tinctures and liquid extracts in a glycerin base that are quite palatable and are absorbed through the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat. Take 15 to 60 drops depending on severity of symptoms. Ginger ale may help on occasion, but when taken alone, the dosage is too small for anything but the mildest of symptoms.</p>
<p>Other effective plant medicines include chamomile, passiflora and hops, taken together or separately. You can find combination formulas at most health food stores. Take 2 to 4 tablets. These herbs help reduce tension. Some people get a feeling of relaxation from alcohol-free beer, which is made from hops.</p>
<p>Multivitamins with 15 mg of B1, B2, B3 and 50 mg of B6 are helpful in calming the nervous system as long as they don&#8217;t bother your stomach.</p>
<p>Calcium also has a relaxing effect on the nerves; take 500 mg 20 minutes before flying.</p>
<p>Natural antihistamines (bioflavonoids) such as quercetin and bromelain are effective in doses of 250 to 500 mg, which can be doubled or tripled if needed. Take the bioflavonoids two-and-a-half hours before flying and repeat every two hours. Histamine-type reactions will decrease with a good diet that includes essential fatty acids, such as borage and evening primrose oils. Take two 500-mg capsules.</p>
<p>Homeopathic combination remedies for motion sickness include Cocculus, Petroleum, Ipecac and Nux vomica. Take 4 pellets (6x or 12x) every two hours, starting before the trip. You also can take these medicines individually if their indications match your symptoms.</p>
<p>Scientific research suggests that acupressure applied to the wrist point &#8220;pericardium 6&#8243; relieves nausea. To stimulate this point, place your thumb in the middle of your wrist between the two forearm bones, two finger widths above the wrist crease. Wristbands that stimulate this point also are available. Another pressure point is located on your neck below your ear and right behind your jaw. &#8220;Large intestine 4&#8243; is in the middle of the muscle between your thumb and index finger. This is used for stress and gastrointestinal distress. A fourth pressure point is located between your eyebrows. Holding and pinching the skin there can reduce a headache and center your eyes and their focus. An instructional book on acupressure points is a worthwhile investment.</p>
<p>A holistic approach to motion sickness includes an evaluation of your stress and anxiety levels. Claustrophobia and fear of flying increase the likelihood that visual and balance changes will stimulate motion sickness. Relaxation through breathing exercises or meditation helps calm and gives plenty of oxygen to your nervous system. Get plenty of fresh air, and if you are driving, take breaks. Also, don&#8217;t read while the vehicle is in motion—instead, listen to music and rest your eyes.</p>
<p>Musculoskeletal irritation of the neck aggravates motion sickness. Massage and spinal manipulation before a trip greatly reduce stress and can help prevent symptoms.</p>
<p>It is important to drink lots of water when you have motion sickness. The level of hydration in the body and inner ear can affect balance and worsen symptoms. Avoid diuretics such as coffee and alcohol, which stimulate urination and increase dehydration. In addition, don&#8217;t smoke, and eat a small meal of complex carbohydrates that you can digest well. Oatmeal, applesauce and yogurt are great foods for traveling. Sucking on a lemon or sipping ginger ale can help as well.</p>
<p>Try these methods to discover what works best for you, and be persistent. Learning about your body&#8217;s needs and rhythms is a skill that will help you with any health condition you experience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cholesterol is a material that is derived from animal fats in food and that is also produced by the body. A certain amount of cholesterol is essential to health-it forms two per cent of the weight of the brain, for example—but too much <a href="http://customerdataplus.com/blog/2008/01/28/lower-cholesterol-and-trigliceroids-safely/">cholesterol</a> builds up in the arteries and may play a part in causing coronary disease or stroke. Most doctors advice moderating the animal fat content of our diet as a wise precaution. And this applies to lean men as well as plump ones.</p>
<p>Cholesterol-rich foods include fat meats, pork, sausages, egg yolk, butter, cheese, pastry, cream, meat drippings, and other animal fats. So it is wise to avoid too many of these foods and to trim away the visible fat from your meat. Since eating vegetable fats will actually reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood, try to include in your diet some vegetable oils (such as corn, sunflower, and olive oil), fish oils, or polyunsaturated margarines.<br />
<span id="more-565"></span><br />
While a certain amount of fat is essential for any man&#8217;s health, two foods should definitely be cut right down for a man who wants to slim. These are sugar and alcohol. Sugar supplies nothing but energy, and when it is not used for energy, it is laid down as fat. What&#8217;s more, some doctors are convinced that there is a link between high sugar consumption and heart disease. As for alcohol, this is nearly twice as fattening, weight for weight, as sugar. And it has the double disadvantage of stimulating appetite. Ideally, alcohol should be out for a man who is slimming. If that seems impossible, you might decide to try and cut out more calories from other foods to compensate for the occasional drink. But it is not wise to do this regularly lest a man go short of some important food element in the process— quite apart from feeling hungrier and weakening in his resolve to diet.</p>
<p>Any diet should, of course, be combined with regular exercise. For, although exercise alone cannot reduce excess weight—it would take a 35-mile walk or 100 holes of golf to get rid of just one pound of fat—exercise is just as important as diet in weight control. Only when eating and exercise go hand in hand can a man reach a desirable weight and stay there.</p>
<p>Exercise is not just important for the dieter. It is vital for any man&#8217;s health, be he fat or lean. Exercise can make a man look, think, sleep, and feel better. It can help release pent-up tension and stress, prevent aches and pains, improve his circulation, and keep his heart and lungs in good shape.</p>
<p>The key to safe and effective exercise is to introduce a little bit of action into every day. Sudden bouts of strenuous exercise can be dangerous because the body just isn&#8217;t prepared for the strain. A man who leads a sedentary life needs an activity that starts out gently but can become gradually more demanding as he gets fitter. And it needs to be something he can fit into his daily routine.</p>
<p>One of the best and easiest forms of exercise that will fit into anyone&#8217;s daily routine is walking. Maybe you could persuade someone to walk to work or the station. It will probably help if you can walk along part of the way with him or her. Walk before bed— this will also help you sleep better. And exercise after meals is particularly good, because more food is burned up faster just after eating.</p>
<p>Swimming, running, skating, skiing, tennis, squash, table tennis, or bicycling are all excellent activities to reduce cholesterol.</p>
<p>Prevention is the finest way to fight any disease. By regular workout, we will be able to lower cholesterol in our body.  A regular medical checkup and making some lifestyle changes may reduce bad cholesterol in our body.</p>
