article: Dust and dust mites are common indoor allergens, so when winter comes (and you spend more time indoors) these allergy symptoms may worsen. The best way to combat the allergy symptoms is to prevent (or minimize) your exposure to the allergen in the first place. Strategies to reduce the dust and dust mites in your home include:  Purchase a HEPA air filter. This can help to clear dust out of the air, and hence reduce your allergy symptoms. Wash your bedding at least once a week in hot water. This can help to prevent the accumulation of dust and dust mites. Also use allergy-proof covers on your mattress and pillow covers to reduce the accumulation of dust and dust mites. Vacuum any carpets in the home at least twice a week, and clean any surfaces that gather dust regularly. Use a wet paper towel or sponge to clean these surfaces — a duster will just cause the dust to recirculate and settle again. Another common allergen that can worsen during the wintertime (due to its presence indoors) is mold. Mold grows in damp places, such as around leaks in roofs or pipes, in the shower or bathroom, or anywhere with moisture. Strategies to reduce your exposure to mold include:  Throw out any shower curtains, carpets, or other things in your home that have mold on them. If you spot mold on something, your best bet is just to get rid of it. The longer it lingers in your home, the more of a chance there is for mold spores to get into the air and to worsen your allergy symptoms. Use a dehumidifier to reduce the humidity in your home to less  than 50%. Because mold thrives with greater moisture and humidity, this can help to prevent mold problems from developing in your home. Both pets and people may spend more time indoors during the winter, so if you are allergic to dogs or cats you may find that your allergy symptoms worsen during the colder months. If you have severe pet allergies, consider getting a non-hairy pet instead such as a fish or lizard. If you only have mild pet allergies and are seeking to manage them as best as possible, you can try:  Washing your pet at least once a week. This is because, contrary to popular belief, pet hair is not the most common allergen; rather, it is pet dander (dead skin cells that naturally shed from your pet). For this reason, bathing your pet can help to diminish the dander and reduce your allergy symptoms. Keeping your pet out of the bedroom. Because you spend quite a bit of time in the bedroom every night, as well as the fact that bedrooms are often carpeted, keeping your pet out can prevent pet dander from accumulating in your bedroom. This, in turn, can help to alleviate your allergy symptoms. As the holidays approach, there are some additional steps you can take to handle your allergies and prevent them from getting out of control. These include:  Getting an artificial Christmas tree because real trees have the potential to grow mold. Some people are also allergic to the fragrance of a real tree. If you do get a real tree, consider washing it thoroughly with water outdoors before you bring it in and decorate it. If you are visiting relatives for the holidays who have a pet (and you are allergic), plan appropriately by asking for a room as far away as possible from the pet, and by bringing allergy medications as needed. Be aware of the rebound effect if you are not spending the holidays with your own pet. Some people, after being away from their pet for several days, return home only to find that their allergy to their own pet has worsened. This is due to a decreased tolerance in your immune system following your absence. Understand that stress can trigger allergy symptoms such as hives or asthma. Try to stay as relaxed as possible over the holidays, and take steps to lighten your workload during the holidays (such as preparing some of the dishes for big dinners in advance). Some people confuse the runny nose they get from being outside in the cold with a winter allergy when, in fact, the two are not related. A runny nose in the cold is a vasomotor (physiological) response; it may be correlated to changes in temperature (particularly the cold), windy weather, changes in humidity, and strong odors or smoke.

article: Headbands work wonders with short, medium and long hair. The classic way to wear a headband is to pull the hair back from the face, but you can also wear a circular headband over your hair, including bangs (if you have them). Use mousse or gel to keep your curls in shape.  Experiment with different types of headbands: thin and sparkly, wide and bold, bows, flowers, colors, knitted materials, and more. A headband can also be a perfect addition to updos, such as the curly topknot or ponytails in Method 2. For a more formal look, or a hairstyle for a night out, this is a great choice. Brush back the top front sections of your hair, making sure it is not too sleek. Next, brush the sides away from the face and spritz with hairspray. To dress things up, place a cute clip to one side. Again, mousse works great to keep your curls manageable. Alternatively, add a little hair putty to your curls to keep them separate and soft. This is an easy yet elegant way to bring the hair away from your face and at the same time show off its length. The simplest way to do this is to rake your hair back with your fingers from the sides of your face (and the top, if you don't want a part), then secure with a barrette, claw clip, or elastic.  You can create a bun or braid with the hair you pull back. Try twisting the sides as you bring them behind you for a fancier version. Experiment with parting your hair in the center, or making a deep side part. Two braids pulled back from the sides complement your curls and keep hair back from the face. What's more, this romantic style is ready in just a couple of minutes.  Separate a 1-2 in (2.5-5 cm) section of hair from behind the left ear and make a braid, angling it around the back of your head towards your right ear. Secure with a clear elastic. (Note that if you have very long hair, you won't braid the full length of your hair – just braid enough so that it goes across the back of your head.) Repeat with a section from behind the right ear, angling it around the back and towards your left ear. Secure this braid with a clear elastic as well. Draw one of the braids across the back of your head towards the opposite ear and fasten it into place with bobby pins. Draw the other braid over the first one, tucking the end into the braid underneath, securing with bobby pins. Accessories can be a girl's best friend. Beauty supply stores are great places to find sweet hair accessories for a reasonable price. Changing up barrettes, headbands, or pins can bring new life to tried-and-true hairstyles.

article:
Bail will be set at the arraignment. In many situations, especially for minor offenders committing first-time offenses, the defending attorney (or public defender) may argue at the arraignment that the defendant should be released under his or her “own recognizance.” When a person is released under his or her own recognizance, it means that the court is trusting the person to return for the actual court date without holding a bond amount to ensure the person returns. The base bail amount is determined by a “bail schedule,” which outlines recommended bail amounts for each type of criminal offense. Starting with the recommended bail, the defending attorney can argue to reduce the bail amount, and the prosecutor can argue to raise the bail amount from the recommended level as well. This is called a “bail motion.”  Reasons a prosecutor may introduce a bail motion include:  The person being a flight risk, which means that the court determines a person is not likely to return for their court date. Employment status, family in the area, and other community ties factor into this determination. The person presents a danger to society, which means that the court determines releasing a person may potentially put others in danger.   If the accused represents neither of these factors, then the defending attorney may argue to reduce the bail amount below the standard bail schedule amount. However, one’s personal attorney will likely charge fees to appear and argue on the person’s behalf, which may even exceed the reduced bail amount. If the court tries to set a bail amount that far exceeds the bail schedule for the respective offense, then the defending attorney may also argue to lower the cost based on the accused’s 8th amendment rights, which require that bail not be excessive. There are many different kinds of bonds that you could post to get someone out of jail. The most common are:  Private bail bonds. Here, you pay 10% of the full amount of the bail. Public bail bonds. Where private bonds are illegal, you pay 10% of the full amount of the bail to the state. In the federal court system and Washington D.C. judges have the authority to authorize signature bonds if you cannot afford to pay bail. Signature bond or own recognizance. You agree to come to court. If you fail to show, then you must pay a financial penalty. Property bonds. Some states and the federal government allow these bonds, where you insure the bond with real property (such as your house). If the person skips bond, then you would lose your house. There is little variation by state for bail requirements and no difference in bail factors because it is derived from the U.S. Constitution. One of the biggest variations involves whether a bail bondsman can post a bond in your state. Illinois, Kentucky, Oregon, and Wisconsin do not currently allow bail bondsmen. Due to the perceived predatory nature of the practice, many countries have outlawed it completely. Other U.S. states have shown interest in doing so as well. Often, areas that have banned private bondsmen accept a “signature bond,” wherein a number of people, such as friends and relatives, sign on to verify that they will cover the bail amount without actually turning over funds. They are legally liable for the amount if the accused does not attend court proceedings. In order to verify if the local court accepts signature bonds, call ahead and see what types they accept. Typically these signature bonds will involve showing some sort of deed or title. They might even just be a promise that the signers will cover the bail if the defendant skips his or her court dates. In instances where there is a bail amount, especially a high amount, many people do not have the available funds to post a bond.  Bail bondsmen make their living by putting up money to fulfill the bail requirement. They then charge a percentage of the total bail as their fee.  Alternately, if you have the money it may make more sense to pay the full bond amount than go to the bail bondsman. If you pay the full amount yourself, then you will get back more than you would if you go to a bail bondsman (assuming you make all of your appearances). There are usually a few bail bonds companies surrounding the jail or court in every city. There is usually very little variation in price between bail bondsmen. Bondsmen typically charge 10-15% depending on the type of crime or geographic location. For example, a 10% bond fee on a bail amount of $10,000 will mean that you pay $1,000 to the bondsman that you will not recover. Sometimes there is also a minimum fee amount, which would apply to some smaller bail amounts. If you can afford to put up the amount without the assistance of a bail bondsman, then it’s a far less expensive route to take. If you know for a fact that you will need to use a bail bondsman to help post the bond, then you can actually contact the bondsman early in order to have the bondsman appear at the arraignment. If the bond is paid directly after the arraignment (the defendant’s first appearance in front of a judge when the bail amount is set), it can cut down significantly on the time the person spends in holding.  Bondsmen usually have someone on staff at all hours. Call ahead and let them know when you need them. They can also help with local procedures or rules for bailing someone out. If you retain a lawyer, most criminal defense lawyers have bondsmen with whom they are familiar. They can prepare for a bondsman to be present at the arraignment for you. Situations where you can anticipate the necessity of a bail payment without any motions to reduce the amount include: felony cases, misdemeanors that involve injury (“aggravated circumstances”), and multiple misdemeanors committed in succession. By simply knowing the charges the accused faces, you may be able to determine if the expected bail amount exceeds what you can afford without a bondsman. If you are the one jailed, then you will need a friend or family member to work with the bondsman. When you get out, you can then contact the bondsman and have the bond reassigned to you.
