There are many warning signs of a heart attack; noticing these signs can save precious time in case one strikes. Injury and death is more likely with each minute that these signs go unnoticed. If you suspect that any warning sign of a heart attack is present, immediately call 911. Do not risk waiting; it is better to error on the safe side than risk your cardiac health.
1.Chest Discomfort. Persistent chest discomfort is the most obvious warning sign of a heart attack. Pain usually begins in the center of the chest and can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain. Any chest pain, even if it is not from an impending heart attack, warrants a visit to a cardiac health professional.
2.Discomfort in the Upper Body. Other areas of the upper body, such as the arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach may experience pain or discomfort. Depending on your personal cardiac heath, the pain may be localized or widespread. If strange upper body pain persists, it may be a warning sign of a heart attack.
3.Shortness of Breath. Random shortness of breath may indicate poor cardiac heath. If it is accompanied by any chest or upper body discomfort, contact 911 immediately. If you suddenly experience shortness of breath with no clear cause, it may be a warning sign of a heart attack.
4.Other Signs. Other warning signs of a heart attack include nausea, light headedness, or breaking out in a cold sweat. These signs may or may not appear with the signs listed above, but almost always indicate a health problem.
Do not risk your life and heath –call 911 immediately if you or anyone else starts displaying any warning sign of a heart attack. Not all warning signs have to be present for a heart attack to occur;they can also last any duration or temporarily go away. Just because the pain has gone or feels to be decreasing doesn’t mean you are not at risk.
Since everyone’s cardiac health is different, any combination and duration of warning signs is possible. Contact 911 or a cardiac health professional if your experience any warning signs of a heart attack or have any reasons to question your cardiac health. Your friends and relatives will thank you for it.

Nobody likes paying taxes; however, there are steep tax fraud penalties for those who miss payments or report inaccurate information. It is never a good idea to challenge the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) by maliciously withholding money or lying about your income. Audits are common and can expose even the smallest bit of erroneous information.The cons of tax fraud can affect your life for years and cost you a great deal of money.If you would like to challenge your taxes, join a local anti-tax political campaign.
1.Tax fraud penalties punish the following actions: Attempting to evade taxes, failing to pay over tax, failing to file a return, failing to file necessary information, making false statements, attempting to interfere with the administration of IRS laws, conspiring to defraud the United States, or assisting someone in any of the above actions. Contact a legal professional if you have any questions about what is covered by tax fraud laws. Penalties are severe and increase depending on the amount of money involved.
2.Most tax fraud penalties are felonies. Cons of a felony include one year or more in prison and extensive fines.Having a felony on your record will make it difficult to apply for a job, buy a home, or enroll in college.
3.In order to be convicted, there must be willful malicious intent. Most tax fraud penalties require the perpetrator to be willfully and maliciously breaking a law. Proving this can be somewhat simple, since the person simply has to be aware of the law he is breaking. Forgetting a form or accidentally withholding information can sometimes be portrayed as willful negligence. Your best bet is to file your taxes completely and accurately the first time.Consult an accountant if you are uncertain of any rules or regulations.
4.Tax fraud penalties punish those who aid or assist others in tax evasion. Depending on the situation, those who are aware of potential tax fraud but do not report it to the authorities may be guilty of a misdemeanor or felony.If you are aware of tax fraud taking place, it is your responsibility to report the perpetrator. You do not have to physically help the person to be considered an accomplice; simple awareness of the situation can sometimes warrant a tax fraud penalty.
Tax fraud is a serious crime in the eyes of the law and is penalized as such. To avoid extensive tax fraud penalties, be sure to file your taxes completely and accurately. The amount of money you could save by lying on your taxes is small compared to the many cons of tax fraud. To avoid these cons and save money, hire a good accountant or research applicable exemptions and refunds.

Regular ab workouts can boost your fitness, health, and self confidence. Getting to the gym every day, however, can be a hassle. Ab workouts can be done at home with a simple device called a slant board. A slant board is an inclined plane that you lay on, allowing you to cover more distance with each sit-up. Slat boards are available at most fitness stores, but you can make a PVC slant board for ab workouts cheaply and easily.
To make a PVC slant board for ab workouts, you will need:
1.First, construct the bases. Each base consists of two t-joints and three pieces of pipe. Cut one piece of PVC pipe to connect the t-joints together. The t-joints should touch each other after the pipe has been glued between them. Next, cut two 1 foot pieces of PVC pipe. These will be glued to the opening opposite the other t-joint and act as legs. Make two of these bases.
2.Cut pieces for the frame. The frame will look like a double-layered “L.” Cut two 4 foot pieces of PVC and two 2 foot pieces of PVC. Attach the two 2 foot pieces to one base and the two 4 foot pieces to the other. Connect the pieces with the t-joints.Use the glue to adhere everything together. The frame should now look like two “L’s” attached to two bases.
3.Drill four holes in the 4 foot pieces, two on one pipe and two on the other. On each pipe, one hole should be near the top and one should be near the bottom.These holes will be used to attach the board with screws. Drill holes in the board so that they will line up with the holes in the PVC.
4.Insert the screws in the holes to attach the board to the PVC. Each screw should have two washers, one on top and one by the nut. Insert the screws through the board then the PVC, to avoid having protruding screws on the top of the board.
5.Adhere padding to the top if you choose to do so. Padding is not necessary, but it will make workouts more comfortable and enjoyable.It is that simple to make a PVC slant board for ab workouts. This board will help you maintain exceptional fitness and health without ever having to go to the gym. It is important, however, to establish a consistent workout routine and set manageable goals to get the most out of your PVC slant board for ab workouts.
