In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You might have no idea your landlord is in financial stress. However, there are some common warning signs. Pay attention to the following:  Your landlord hasn’t been performing regular maintenance. If the lawn isn’t mowed and the building is allowed to fall into disrepair, then there may be a problem. Your landlord hasn’t made requested repairs. If your request for repairs is being ignored, then your landlord might be having financial difficulties. Notification of foreclosure has been posted on bulletin boards in common areas. Check regularly. In some states, the law requires that the bank provide you notice before the foreclosure sale. For example, in Washington, you must receive 120 days notice. If you receive this notice, take it seriously.  Your landlord might catch up on past-due payments, which could take the property out of foreclosure. However, you should double-check with the bank. The bank might not tell you much information. In that situation, you should perform a public records search. Visit your county land records office. This might be called the Recorder of Deeds or Recorder’s Office. Tell the clerk you are checking to see if a property is in foreclosure. This is public information. You may be able to look up this information on a computer at the Recorder of Deeds office. Ask for help if you don't know how. The foreclosure process begins with a lawsuit. Accordingly, you can find out if your landlord is in foreclosure by check court documents, which are public. Visit the courthouse in your county. You can check on the status of the case by pulling the case file.  Look up cases according to the names of the parties. Figure out your landlord’s name—it might be a corporation. Generally, there should be a computer you can use at the courthouse to find cases. Write out the case number and give the slip to the clerk, who can pull the file. There should be a website you can use. If not, stop into the office. You may need the building’s Property Identification Number in order to check. Alternately, you might be able to look up information using only the address and the landlord's name. In some states, you can request notice be sent to you of any foreclosure hearing. In this way, you’ll know exactly when your landlord goes into foreclosure. The method for requesting this information will differ by state.  For example, in North Carolina, you can take a copy of your lease to the Recorder of Deeds office and record it. By recording it, you become entitled to notice of any foreclosure hearing.  In California, you can file a Request for Copy of Notice of Default. You’ll need a form, which is available here: http://www.foreclosureforum.com/forms/request_notice.pdf. You must file this notarized form with your County Recorders office for a fee.  Search online or talk to a lawyer about the process in your state.
Summary: Notice warning signs of default. Receive notice. Perform a public records search. Visit your county courthouse. Check with the county assessor. Request notification of default.

Q: Using a sharp chef’s knife or a serrated knife, saw the knife back and forth until the top inch and the bottom inch (2 centimeters) of the butternut squash are gone. Discard these pieces.  When cutting a squash, hold your knife's handle with your middle, ring and pinky finger. Use your thumb and index finger to balance the blade. The "blade grip" offers more control and balance than a normal grip. Since butternut squash is circular, it has a tendency to roll around on the cutting board. Stabilize the squash with your non-dominant hand before cutting into it, and curl your non-dominant fingers under your palm in order to make a claw shape, pressing down on the squash with the first joints of your fingers. Peel the squash like a potato, working from top to bottom. Discard all of the skin. Then, cut the squash's top away from the bottom, so that you have one small piece (the top) and one large piece (the bottom). Keep the small piece on its side, like a rolling pin, and cut a slice every half-inch or inch. Cut evenly through the piece so that the slices come out as perfect circles.  To make the cubes, cut 2 or 3 evenly-spaced slices across the width of the circle. Then turn the circle and cut it again. This will create a cube shape. Remember that the cubes don't have to be perfect. Keep the irregular pieces to cut down on food waste. Place the base of the squash on the cutting board and cut it down the middle. You can use your other hand to press the blade down, working in a see-saw motion. Be sure your hand is not wet or slippery, however, as you could easily cut yourself if it slips. Using a melon baller, an ice cream scoop or a spoon, remove the seeds from the squash. Set them aside to make a tasty snack, if you like. If not, discard them. Cut the base into half-moons and then cube them. Make them as close in size as you can to the top cubes. The cubes should be tender enough to be pierced with a fork. Cubes of butternut squash can go in omelettes, pizzas, salads or by themselves a healthy snack.
A: Cut off the top and bottom of the squash. Peel the squash, then cut it in half. Cube the top. Cut the base in half. Remove the seeds. Cube the base. Microwave the squash cubes for 3-4 minutes. Put the cubed squash inside your favorite dish.

Problem: Article: Most lovebirds can't be sexed based on a visual examination. In fact, the most common type kept as a pet, the peach-faced lovebird, has to be DNA tested to truly determine the sex.  Some people argue that female lovebirds are generally smaller than male lovebirds. This is only visible in certain breeds of lovebirds. Some people also assert that a female lovebird's feet are perched wider apart than a male's feet. This has to do with the assumption that a female's pelvis is wider than a male's.This depends on the species. Unlike many other types of birds, most types of lovebird coloring does not differ based on sex. There are some exceptions, however, such as the Madagascar lovebird. The male Madagascar lovebird has grey on its head, while the females are solidly colored green. In general, when lovebirds are interested in mating they tend to shred paper, whether they are male or female. This seems to be true across species, with Fischer's and peach-faced lovebirds, for example, exhibiting the same behavior regardless of sex.   While some argue that females are better at paper shredding, and so can be spotted by their skill and precision, this seems to be a difficult way of determining sex.  Some suggest that birds that tuck the paper into their tail feathers are likely to be females. If lovebirds are kept in a pair, they tend to form an intense bond. It does not matter what the sex of the birds are. Birds kept together will become a unit. Bonded pairs of the same sex are even known to work on nesting together.
Summary:
Determine if you have a breed of lovebird that has unique sex characteristics. Do not rely on paper shredding and nest-building behavior to sex your bird. Don't assume that a bonded pair of lovebirds are male and female.
