In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Although there are a couple of cards that charge nominal cash advance fees, they are typically substantial. A cash advance fee is usually expressed as a percentage of the transaction—10% is common—but with a minimum dollar amount. So if you withdrew cash in the amount of $500, it would be subject to a $50 cash advance fee, because 10% of $500 is $50. However, even if you only withdrew $10, the minimum dollar amount for a charge might be $5, making the charge for the $10 withdrawal $5 instead of $1. The interest rates on cash advances are almost always higher than the interest rates on a typical credit transaction. Before you decide to make a cash withdrawal, make sure you know the interest rate and can afford it. It isn’t uncommon to see interest rates of 20% and more for cash advances, which is extraordinary. Many a sensible person has become financially ensnared by a high interest rate. Make sure you’ll be able to easily pay the cash advance back before you make the withdrawal. Unlike most credit card transactions, the interest on cash advances begins to accrue immediately. While it’s always important to pay off your credit card balance as quickly as possible, this goes double for a cash advance. You will need to pay the minimum payment on your regular credit card balance before any payment can go toward paying off your cash advance. Any additional payment will then go to the highest interest rate balance on your card. So if the interest rate on your regular credit card balance is 4% and the interest rate on your cash advance is 20%, the payment must be applied to paying off the cash advance balance. A lot of people will have other alternatives to a credit card cash advance—probably the only type of loan more unfriendly to the borrower than a cash advance is a payday loan. You should consider any of the following before you take a cash advance:  Getting a personal loan. It will take a little longer than a credit card cash advance, but the interest rate will be much lower than a cash advance (by as much as half). Furthermore, you can usually get a personal loan for a larger amount. Personal loans are available through banks and credit unions. Applying for a HELOC. A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a line of credit in the same amount as the equity in your home. It is like a second mortgage, but you aren’t obligated for all of the equity in your home, and it has an expiration date. They’ll take much longer to apply for than a cash advance, but they’ll be far less expensive. ref>http://ptmoney.com/credit-card-cash-advance-bad-financial-move-or-good-emergency-plan/</ref> Interest paid on a HELOC is deductible from income tax.
Summary: Don’t forget about the cash advance fee. Check the interest rate. Determine whether you can start to pay right away. Consider your alternatives.

Often a type-1 malfunction is a misfeed, in which a round was not loaded into the chamber (e.g. you didn't rack the slide after you loaded a magazine, or the magazine wasn't seated enough to load a round). This is a relatively dangerous malfunction where there is not enough force to propel the projectile out of the barrel. In semi-automatic pistols, a squib is often easily noticeable, as the slide will not cycle and a new round will not be chambered. If a squib load happens, remove the magazine and clear the obstruction immediately. Only attempt to immediately clear the malfunction during a live-fire, real confrontation.  This is due to the risk of the round eventually firing. If you experience a hang fire, keep the firearm pointed down range for at least 10 seconds before attempting to clear. The quickest way to do this is through immediate action. With a semi-automatic pistol, pull the slide back, ejecting the last round. Observe the ejection and the round. If the lead is still on the bullet, you know that the round didn't fire. If the lead is gone, it may indicate a weapon malfunction. Observe the chamber. Check for double feeds, or things that don't belong. Release the slide, seating the next round. Deactivate the safety and attempt to fire the weapon. If it still fails to fire, remove the magazine and eject the current round, and turn the weapon over to a gun expert for repair. Load a full magazine into the gun with an empty chamber. Point at the target, pull the trigger, feel the "click". With the heel of your palm hit the bottom of your magazine (with some fervor; this is the "tap"). Then twist your gun 90-degrees to the right (so the ejection port is down) and... Rack the gun by pulling the slide straight back and letting go; do not ride the slide forward, let it slam (this the "flip" and "rack" part of the drill). This will drop a possibly dud round out of the chamber and load a new round into the chamber.

One-sentence summary -- Identify the malfunction. Make sure the malfunction is not a "squib load". Make sure the malfunction is not a "hang fire", in which the burning of the cartridge's propellant is delayed. Correct the Malfunction. Practice:

Problem: Article: A typical sign of patellar luxation is when the dog skips on a back leg. He may be perfectly mobile and not in pain, but every now and again he skips a step. He may also carry a back leg for several steps before putting it back down again.  This is due to the mechanical locking of the knee joint due to the faulty anatomy. After a few steps, things tend to shake back into place and the dog continues to walk as normal. Patellar luxation occurs in the back legs. This means your dog may move all the weight into the front legs. It is possible in some dogs for both legs to be affected by patellar luxation. If this is the case, the dog may look like he’s doing a bunny hop with both legs together. If your dog has the condition in both legs, he may have difficulty jumping up onto furniture or low surfaces. In severe or long term cases, the dog may develop secondary problems. One secondary problem may be arthritis in the joint. There may be swelling or stiffness in the leg or joint. If the dog is using the leg less, he may also develop muscle wastage on that side, which means the muscles on the affected side will be smaller than the ones on the other side. Your dog may also exhibit lameness on the affected leg. Lameness means your dog won't have the ability to walk on that leg. A dog can get patellar luxation at any age. Many dogs often present symptoms as a puppy because it is a problem with the muscles of the legs. Dogs can start presenting symptoms at at eight to 10 weeks.
Summary:
Look for skipping on the back leg. Watch for difficulty jumping. Monitor for other leg problems. Recognize the symptoms at any age.
