Some legal matters may be easily settled on your own without a lawyer.  This could save you a substantial amount of money.  This may not be a good option for every situation, but a close evaluation of your particular legal case can help you determine whether a lawyer is necessary at all.   Representing yourself in court without a lawyer's help is referred to as “pro se” or “pro per” in some jurisdictions. If there isn't much money involved in your situation, try settling the matter on your own outside of court.  You may be able to come to an agreement with some friendly phone calls or emails laying out your case and stressing that avoiding court would be advantageous for everyone involved. You can theoretically represent yourself in court on any issue, even if it is more serious or involves more money. If you decide to represent yourself in a substantial court case, try finding a good legal "DIY" handbook, such as those published by Nolo Press. You may be able to buy such books cheaply online (secondhand), or your local library may have them available to check out. Some libraries even have legal forms and instructions for use in their local courts. Small claims courts exist for a reason. It helps people have their day in court to resolve small disputes. In small claims courts, most people are not represented by attorneys. The precise rules and requirements vary by jurisdiction or geographic area.  This option is a less expensive way to pursue a court case in which you represent yourself.  There is generally a limit on the monetary amount allowable in small claims court, which can be up to a few thousand dollars. The filing fees typically range from $30 to $100. There are a variety of resources in every state that can assist a person who is representing himself or herself in court. All of these resources may be available to you at no or low cost. These resources may include the following:  Books Court forms and instructions Legal self-help centers Legal hotlines Self-help legal clinics Law school clinics. Typically, self-help legal clinics and centers are limited to civil law issues, and do not address criminal law issues. If you are facing criminal charges, you will be entitled to have a  public defender appointed to you at public expense if you are unable to hire a lawyer and you are facing the potential for incarceration. Many courts have established legal self-help centers or provide pro se forms and instructions for people who do not have attorneys. For instance, Maricopa County, Arizona, runs an extensive self-service legal center in their court system, which provides information, forms, and instructions for people who are unrepresented by attorneys in a variety of situations. If your jurisdiction has these services available, you may be able to use them to get the information that you need and file the appropriate documents in court that are necessary to resolve your legal matter. You can search online or in your telephone book for legal hotline numbers. For instance, many Texas bar associations operate legal hotlines for victims of domestic violence and senior citizens. Some county courthouses, bar associations, or legal aid organizations operate self-help legal clinics. These programs may allow you to ask questions in person, by phone, or online. They also may give you assistance in filling out legal forms or other documents. Some of the types of cases that these clinics may handle involve uncontested divorces, child support modifications, and landlord/tenant disputes. In these clinics, law students, who are supervised closely by an experienced attorney, provide free legal services to individuals in the community. You may need to have a low household income in order to qualify for clinic services. Law school clinics often address legal issues such as landlord/tenant disputes, domestic violence, and family law.

Article: Make sure you know which model iPad you are using, since they have different types of ports (places to attach cables and other devices).  If you using a first, second, or third generation iPad, you'll need an iPad SD Card Reader to attach a camera's SD card. (This is included in the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit.) If you are using a fourth generation or later iPad, you'll need a Lightning to SD Camera Card Reader. The SD card is a small rectangular object stored beneath a flap on the back or side of your camera.  Consult your camera's manual if you are having trouble finding the SD card. If the SD card does not slide out on its own, very gently push it into the camera then release. A list of the camera's photos should soon display on your iPad. You can select Import All to transfer the whole camera's contents. Your iPad should prompt you to "Keep" or "Delete" the photos on your camera. If you select Delete, the imported photos will be removed from the camera or SD card.

Article: Not all hiking trips will be the same and there are varying styles of backpacks that can meet the demands of these differences.  Depending on the length of your hike and the gear you need to carry you will need to purchase a backpack with the correct frame style.  Backpacks with external frames are mainly used for heavy and asymmetrical loads. An internal frame backpack might be right for you if you need to maintain stability and don't need to carry heavy items. Frame-less backpacks are for those hikers who don't need to carry much gear with them and like to move quickly on their hike. Hiking backpacks will need to be fitted exactly to the size of your torso.  Any backpack that isn't the right size won't fit correctly and will be uncomfortable or may cause injury.  Measure your torso's length and hip width before you buy your backpack to ensure a great fit.  Measure your torso's length by starting from the top bump at the base of your neck down to your hip level. Measure your hips to make sure that the hip belt will fit.  Your hip measurement will be taken just above where your pants normally rest. Before you load up your backpack and head out hiking you will need to properly fit your backpack.  Try wearing your backpack and then making adjustments using the straps on your backpack where needed.  There will generally be four main areas to adjust including the hip-belt, shoulder straps, load lifters, and sternum straps.  The hip-belt should fit snugly around your hips and will support much of the weight. Shoulder straps should pull the bag tight against your back but not actually carry much of the weight. Some backpacks will have load-lifting straps.  These should relieve the weight from your shoulders and help keep it properly distributed. The sternum strap will pull the weight up and away from your shoulders and should fight tightly and comfortably across your chest. When it comes to hiking backpacks, it is ideal to visit a store where you can try on the backpacks in person.  Although you might know your measurements, each backpack might fight differently in actuality.  Try on plenty of backpacks before purchasing one to make sure you find the right fit. If you are unable to visit a store you may still be able to try a backpack and return it free of charge if the manufacturer allows for it.
