In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Many lenders, including credit card companies, might be willing to delay payment for a short period of time if you are in a cash crunch. Call up customer service and explain your situation. You might be able to make regular partial payments. Creditors want to see that you have a plan for getting on top of your finances. Ideally, you’ve fallen behind because of an event beyond your control, such as short-term unemployment or a medical emergency. This emergency should have passed. Speak to your boss and explain that money is a little tight. Ask if you can get an advance on your next paycheck. If your boss can help you out, then you’ll save a lot of money by not needing to go to a payday lender. You don’t need to go into great detail with your boss about your financial difficulties. Instead, speak generally. People who know you might be willing to help you out. Tell them what you need the money for and agree to pay them back as soon as possible. You can also agree to pay interest. Paying interest shows you are serious about paying the money back. Check your jurisdiction’s usury laws online, which will set the maximum interest rate allowed. With luck, your family member will charge only a small interest rate. Many banks allow you to take out more money than you have in your account. This is called overdraft protection. Generally, you will pay a small fee for taking out too much money. However, the fee will be much lower than the interest on a payday loan. Avoid using “bounce protection” overdraft. The APR on these programs can reach 1,000%. Someone with a decent credit score should go to a bank or credit union and ask for a personal loan. These loans will have much lower interest rates than payday loans. You might also get a personal loan from an online lender. Research an online lender just as you would a payday lender. Online lenders should not charge upfront fees or pressure you to wire them money.  Personal loans can usually be paid in monthly installments over several years. This makes repaying the loan much more manageable.  To get a personal loan, you’ll need to have a credit check. Credit unions offer small loans for much lower interest rates. You can borrow between $200-1,000. You only pay a small application fee and get one to six months to pay it off. Typically, you must have been a member of the credit union for at least one month before you apply. Your credit card probably lets you take out cash from an ATM. Check your monthly statement to see. There should be a “cash limit” amount listed. Cash advances are expensive—interest rates usually are around 30% or higher. Also, you might be charged fees on top of the interest rate. However, a cash advance is cheaper than a payday loan.  You’ll also get to pay off the cash advance over several months, which might be easier on your finances. Don’t assume you don’t qualify for a credit card if you have poor credit. Shop around online.
Summary: Talk to your creditors about an extension. Ask your boss for an advance. Ask friends or family for a small loan. Use your bank’s overdraft protection. Obtain a personal loan. Apply for a payday loan alternative with a credit union. Take a cash advance from a credit card.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This is the weight or pressure the air exerts on the ground and is measured in millibars. It is important to be able to read air pressure because pressure systems are associated with certain weather patterns.  The average air pressure system measures 1013 mb (29.92 inches of mercury).  A typical strong high pressure system measures around 1030 mb (30.42 inches of mercury). A typical low pressure system measures around 1000 mb (29.54 inches of mercury. To read air pressure on a surface analysis weather map, check for isobars (iso = equal, bar = pressure) – plain, curved lines that indicate areas of equal air pressure. Isobars play a major role in determining the speed and direction of wind.  When the isobars form concentric closed (but not always round) circles, the smallest circle in the center indicates a pressure center. This can be either a high-pressure system (depicted by an "H" in English, "A" in Spanish) or a low pressure system (depicted by an "L" in English, "B" in Spanish).  Air does not flow "down" pressure gradients; it flows "around" them due to the Coriolis effect (Earth spinning).  Hence, wind direction is indicated by the isobars, counterclockwise around lows (cyclonic flow) and clockwise around highs (anticyclonic) in the northern hemisphere, thus creating wind. The closer the isobars are to one another, the stronger the winds. These storms are characterized by increased cloudiness, winds, temperatures, and chance of precipitation. They are represented on a weather map by isobars that are close together with arrows traveling clockwise (Southern Hemisphere) or counter-clockwise (Northern Hemisphere), usually with a "T" in the middle isobar, which forms a round circle (the letter can vary, however, depending on the language the weather report is presented in).  Radar imagery can show low-pressure systems. Tropical cyclones (South Pacific) are also named hurricanes around America or typhoons in coastal Asia. These conditions indicate clear, calm weather with reduced chance of precipitation. Drier air usually results in a greater range of high and low temperatures. They are represented on a weather map as isobars with an "H" in the middle isobar and arrows showing which direction the wind is flowing (clockwise in Northern Hemisphere, counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere). Like cyclones, they can also be shown with radar imagery.

Understand what air pressure measures. Learn the air pressure symbols. Learn how to interpret a Low Pressure System (Cyclone). Learn how to interpret a High Pressure System.
