Q: Even though you are surrounded by water at the beach, you can become easily dehydrated, especially if it is sunny. Make sure you pack enough water to last you for your trip, and try to drink it somewhat frequently. The last thing you want to happen is that you become dehydrated while you are swimming in the ocean.  Bring along a cooler to store your drinks in so that you can keep them cool. Also, try to avoid drinking too much alcohol without drinking any water. If you are going to drink alcohol at the beach, make sure you drink enough water and eat enough food to counteract the effects of the alcohol. Swimming in the ocean while being buzzed or drunk can be very dangerous. Before you bring drinks, look at the local beach's rules. Some beaches may not have any regulations when it comes to what you can bring but many prohibit their guests from bringing glass bottles. If you are spending hours at the beach without sunscreen, you will most likely get burned. Make sure you apply sunscreen before you go to the beach, but pack some too so you can apply it regularly throughout the day. Water and sand are major reflectors, so they reflect the sun's rays, increasing your chance of burning. Apply more sunscreen than you would think, just to be safe.  Try to use a waterproof sunscreen so that it doesn't wash off in the water. Aim for a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher with broad-spectrum protection that protects skin from UVA and UVB rays. Apply your sunscreen at least thirty minutes before going out in the sun, and then every two to three hours that you are outside. Don't forget to apply sunscreen to all areas exposed to the sun. Wear lip balm with an SPF, and try to apply sunscreen to your ears and scalp if possible.  Even if you are wearing a t-shirt in the water, apply sunscreen to your body. If you are going to be at the beach a while, it may be a good idea to pack a lunch or bring snacks to munch on throughout the day. Some beaches, the more crowded ones, will have concession stands or vendors selling foods, but many beaches do not. It's important to make sure you eat enough food and drink enough water throughout your visit to the beach. Although there is no evidence that suggests exercising after you eat can give you cramps, you should still probably wait twenty or thirty minutes before you enter back in the water after you've eaten. This is mainly because eating a full meal and then doing intense exercise can make you nauseous, and that's not a great feeling to experience when you are swimming. If you plan to just splash around in the water don't worry about when you have eaten. However, if you are going to swim out far in the ocean vigorously, it may be wise to wait until your food has digested. After you've spent a day at a beach and have gotten sand all in your swimsuit, you may not want to sit in your car. That's why packing a change of clothes is always handy. There are usually showers and restrooms at a beach, so when you are about to leave, visit a shower to clean off the sand and change your clothes before getting into your car. If you are spending extended time at the beach, you may want some time to relax in the sun. Pack a beach chair and a big umbrella so that you can stay out of the sun and in the shade when you aren't swimming. Use this time to apply another layer of sunscreen and hydrate. Remember that your eyes can suffer from sun damage too, so when you are relaxing in your chair or on your towel, wear sunglasses. Maybe you want to spend the whole time swimming, but it's likely that you may want to relax on the sand and in the sun for a bit. Pack some things to do when you are out of the water like reading a book, playing on your iPad, or throwing a football. You can also bring toys to build a sandcastle if you are taking kids along with you to the beach. You can also pack things for fun in the water like a snorkel and fins, goggles, boogie boards, and anything else to make your time more fun. This is especially helpful if you are bringing along children or babies to the beach. Children can scrape themselves with the seashells or rocks on the beach, or they could get stung by a jelly fish. Either way, it's handy to have a first aid kit ready in case something happens.
A: Bring water. Pack and apply sunscreen regularly. Make lunches or bring snacks. Pack a change of clothes and a towel. Bring a beach or lawn chair and some beach towels. Pack things for entertainment. Have a first aid kit handy.

Q: There is a set form for a Section 8 notice, which must contain specific information. You must complete this form exactly as instructed; otherwise, the court may reject the document and request.  The form is available online from Court websites at http://www.eaststaffsbc.gov.uk/sites/default/files/docs/housing/landlords/Section8NoticeTemplate.pdf. It can also be purchased from law stationers or booksellers.  You will need to provide the name(s) of the tenant(s), the address of the property, the grounds of the eviction, a statement explaining the violation(s) committed, and the date on which the notice will expire. The stated grounds for eviction must be given by number according to Section 8, and the text of the grounds as printed in Section 8 must be reproduced on the Section 8 notice form. Make sure to sign the Section 8 notice form, and provide your contact details. If you want to evict a tenant and the fixed term of a shorthold agreement has come to an end, or if your tenant is occupying the property under a shorthold agreement with no fixed term after six months have passed, you should order the eviction with a Section 21 notice rather than a Section 8 notice. There is no specific form for a Section 21 notice, but it must be given in writing. Typically, it is best to give notice to the tenant by first class post and also by personal delivery. It is helpful to record the delivery or have a witness to the delivery who can testify that the tenant received the notice personally. In some cases, your tenant may be able to take action to rectify the violation. For instance, if you give your tenant a Section 8 notice based on Ground 10, and your tenant pays the rent owed within the required notice period (at least two weeks), then the Section 8 notice will no longer apply and your tenant will not be evicted. If your tenant is facing eviction on multiple grounds, it may be more difficult to correct the violations. If your tenant has not vacated the premises by the required date, you can apply for a court order to force the eviction. A standard possession order can be filed if your tenant does not leave by the required date and you are also claiming unpaid rent, or an accelerated possession order can be filed if you are not claiming unpaid rent.  Possession claims can be filed online via HM Courts and Tribunals Service’s Possession Claims Online website, or a paper copy can be submitted to County Court.  Currently, court possession order fees are £250 if submitted online and £280 for a paper copy.  If your tenant still will not leave after receiving a court possession order, you can file a warrant for possession, and bailiffs will remove the tenant from your property. It is a criminal offense under the Protection from Eviction Act 1997 for you or any landlord to try to physically evict a tenant. This includes changing the locks on the property so that the tenant cannot enter it.
A: Complete the Section 8 notice form. Issue the Section 8 notice to the tenant. Allow your tenant to correct the violation, if possible. Apply for a court possession order if necessary.

Q: Paying income tax can set you back a pretty penny. Whether you do your own taxes or use a professional tax preparer, make sure that you are getting each and every deduction and credit you qualify for. The tax law often changes from year to year so just because you weren't eligible for something last year doesn't mean that the same is true of this year.
A:
Take advantage of tax deductions and credits.
