The Advantages Of Using Water-Based Inks In T-Shirt Printing

The t-shirt printing process uses two major types of inks: water-based and plastisol. Many people have begun using water-based inks more often now compared to plastisol. Knowing the reasons why water-based inks are better than plastisol will help t-shirt printing enthusiasts understand which ink is better suited to the design they are going to print.

Plastisol used to be the ink preferred for use in screen printing t-shirts. Plastisol inks are believed to be more durable and long lasting than other types of inks. Fabrics also absorb more of plastisol inks, making them less likely to peel off after repeated washings.

Water-Based Inks Are Environmentally Friendly

However, these attractive qualities of plastisol inks are now also found in new types of water-based inks. Comparing the two major types of textile inks, water-based inks are a much better option than plastisol because they are more environment-friendly. Artists and t-shirt printing companies that have adopted green practices will surely choose water-based inks over plastisol inks.

Water-based inks are easy to use and simply needs water to clean off the t-shirt printing equipment. Plastisol inks, on the other hand, need possibly harmful solvents to clean them off screens aside from containing PVC and phthalates that are non-biodegradable.  Water-based inks do not contain ozone-depleting chemicals such as CFC’s and HCFC’s, aromatic hydrocarbons or any volatile solvents, and lead or any other heavy metal.

Water-Based Inks Produce A Softer Hand

Aside from being environmentally friendly, water-based inks also produce a softer hand than plastisol inks. When t-shirt printers say “soft hand,” it means the ink is thoroughly absorbed into the fabric that you will not feel the surface when you pass your hand over the t-shirt’s design. Because plastisol inks have a “heavy hand,” people think the t-shirt’s design was made of rubber.

Actually, plastisol ink is made of PVC liquefied into a paste without any water-based solvent. Unlike water-based inks, plastisol inks are more solid than liquid. They also have a thicker consistency because they look and feel like paste. This paste-like texture lends that rubbery feel after the design has undergone the curing process where it is exposed to intense heat.

Water-Based Inks Also Have Opaque And Vibrant Colors

Traditional t-shirt printing used to prefer plastisol inks because of the quality of color they produce. The colors used to remain as vibrant as they were newly screen-printed, even after many washing and ironing.

However, because of advancements in chemical science, water-based inks can now match plastisol inks in terms of vibrancy and opacity of colors. Lighter colors can now be printed on dark thick fabrics using water-based inks without resorting to bleaching or discharging the fabric first.

In general, water-based inks are very much as good and reliable as plastisol inks. They are less harmful to our environment and do not have that rubbery feel that plastisol printing or thermal transfer printing produces. More importantly in t-shirt printing, water-based inks produce vibrant designs as well as plastisol inks.

The Merchant of Copan [In English and Spanish]

 

Advance: The ballgame at the Honduras courtyard in Copan, the year was 480 AD, Copan’s 3rd ruler, Mat Head, whom succeeded Quetzal Macaw, whom was the founder of the city is now the new ruler. Mat Head, was a female, the spouse of Quetzal Macaw, and here is where the story begins.

There was a main ballgame ready to start, the competition was extremely high, as usual you might say; that being, if the game was not played the world would end, so they believed, and so rain or shine it was to take place.

The opposing team had eleven players, all ornately dressed and painted for the competition. They had leather padding around their waists, over their shoulders, about their arms and legs; able to withstand the blows of the solid rubber ball. The weight of the ball was one kilo. The ball was now thrown into the play, and each player knew they could not let it touch the ground or their hands.

Mat Head was watching the game with intensity, knowing her sister was part of a bet of which, if the opposing team won, she’d be [she being: her sister] the property of a local merchant, a very wealthy merchant, the most wealthy merchant in all of the Copan Valley; she would be his property, to do with as he pleased; but if the merchant lost, he would lose all his properties to the brother-in-law, riches, and be vanished from the city of 27,000-inhabidents, Copan; perhaps to the Yucatan. It was not uncommon for such wagers; it was deadlier than the exhibitions at the Roman Coliseum, in Italy. That being, the losers of this game would forfeit their heads.

But the Merchant of Copan, as I have said, was very rich so much so, he provided flint, lime, and pottery to the elite of the city, the whole city and thereabouts. And the Brother-in-Law of Mat Head was married to her sister, the most beautiful young woman in Copan.

The Merchant of Copan, had watched her at a number of previous games, and could never take his eyes off her beauty, her shape, and lusted after her with eyes like a hawk’s. To him, it was worth the chance to bet on the game, all or nothing; he didn’t know how much Mat Head’s brother-in-law cared or didn’t care for his wife, but he knew he was insatiable, and made the bet nonetheless and he accepted it; thus, his instincts were correct; for he could not longer withstand the burning pain he had inside of him watching her walk among the temples of Copan, and wishing she belonged to him, at any price, and a hungry soul will do most anything to impede that hunger.

–The ballgame had started, as I had already said, and the ball was in the air; some of the players were kicking their feet, and thrusting their hips, as they knocked the ball back and forth, in the I-shaped field, 25-meters long, 10-meters wide; all the players not wanting the ball to touch the ground, which would end the game, and eleven-heads would be severed.

All of a sudden the game stopped…a silence took hold of everyone, eyes were being shut by eleven players; oh it was a great thing to die, to be sacrificed for the game, but on the other hand, it would have been better to have to do it at a later date, I’m sure most of the players felt that way.

The spectators took in a deep breath to see who won and lost. History would not favor the brother-in-law today, unfortunate for his wife to be sure. Yes, yes, fortune smiled on the Merchant of Copan; I’m sure my readers are now downtrodden on this matter but it is as it is what I can say.

Thus, the lucky fella grabbed her like a wild monkey grabbing a banana out of the feeder’s hands, and rushed her to his domicile. He threw her on the bed like an animal pelt, his eyes sparked with lust and passion, and he melted into her body like heat on ice; if anything, she was hurt beyond all understandings.

‘How could he do this?’ she moaned as this fat, ugly and rigid man pouncing on her. Yet she told herself, at least he wanted her. He was willing to give all his money for her; whereas, her husband sold her for a game ticket, and a bet. It was beyond her youthful comprehension.

Several years passed, and the fat old merchant got fatter and older, but other than being over lustful over her, he was a good provider, and gave her all she wished for. She became well known as a business woman, and at his 67-birthday, he died on the bed, as I suppose he wished it to be. Consequently, she was now the inheritor of the estates he once own, for there were no children involved.

She then made a deal with her ex-husband, knowing he liked to gamble, and wanted money. She made the same bet, well almost, a similar kind of bet anyway with him, as the Merchant of Copan had done before; she bet all her properties on the next game, that her team would win, and should he lose, her ex-husband, he’d have to give up his head, like the losing team had to. Well, he felt he could win her back should he lose the bet or win, and thus, took his chances and made the bet. But again, life did not favor him, he was not meant to be a gambler for sure, and after losing he begged her for his life, to take him back, saying in essence, they both could enjoy the riches she acquired, and their old position in the kingdom.

Oh gosh, she was such a caretaker, and told him she’d go home and think about it and make up her mind tomorrow. Well, he thought that was fine, at least it seemed better than losing his head today, and just the fact she was thinking about it was enough to enlighten him, feeling he would have the final victory, and that was the one that counted, he’d have her back and the treasures, what more could he ask for.

But as I had told you before, fate was not always in his pocket, that night the ruler, Mat Head, asked for the head of her Brother-in-law, being he had lost the bet. He begged for her to wait for her sister tomorrow and she’d strengthen it all out, but she said:

“A bet is a bet…and it must be paid.”

Can’t remember what else she said but his head was off within a heartbeat.

Upon Mat Head’s sister’s return the following morning, she asked for her ex-husband, and found out by her sister, the Mat Head, she had beheaded him. She cried a tear, a very big tear, and then smiled at Mat Head.

El Mercader de Copan
[480 Después de Cristo]

Avance: Juego de pelota en el patio de Copan en Honduras, el año era 480 después de Cristo, el 3er gobernador de Copan era Mat Head, quien sucedió a Quetzal Macaw, quien fue el fundador de la ciudad ahora el nuevo gobernador. Mat Head, era una mujer, la esposa de Quetzal Macaw, y aquí es donde la historia comienza.
Había un juego de pelota principal listo a comenzar, esta competencia era extremadamente interesante, como siempre podrías decir; esto es, si el juego no era llevado a cabo, el mundo se terminaría, o eso era lo que ellos pensaban, y entonces lloviera o soleara éste debía jugarse.
El equipo contrario tenía once jugadores, todos adornadamente vestidos y pintados listos para la competencia. Ellos usaban algo acolchado hecho de cuero alrededor de sus cinturas, sus hombros, sus brazos y piernas; que les permitiría soportar los golpes de la pelota de caucho sólido. La pelota pesaba un kilo. La pelota ahora fue lanzada en el juego, y cada jugador sabía que no podían dejar que ésta tocara tierra o sus manos.

Mat Head miraba el juego con intensidad, sabiendo que su hermana era parte de una apuesta en el cual si el equipo contrario ganaba, ella (su hermana) pasaría a ser propiedad de un comerciante local, un comerciante muy rico, el comerciante más rico en todo el Valle de Copan; ella pertenecería a él para hacer lo que a él le antojara. Pero si el equipo contrario perdía el comerciante perdería todas sus propiedades, que pasarían a manos de su cuñado, sus riquezas, y sería expulsado de la ciudad de 27,000 habitantes, Copan; quizás a Yucatán. Esto no era raro en esta clase de apuestas; esto era más mortal que las exposiciones en el Coliseo romano, en Italia. Esto era, los perdedores de este juego perderían sus cabezas.
Pero el Comerciante de Copan, como ya lo había dicho, era muy rico tanto que él proporcionó sílex, cal, y cerámica a la elite de la ciudad, a la ciudad entera y sus alrededores. Y el cuñado de Mat Head estaba casado con su hermana, la joven más hermosa en Copan.
El Comerciante de Copan, la había mirado en un número de juegos anteriores, y nunca podía sacar sus ojos de su belleza, su forma, y lujuriaba detrás de ella con ojos como de halcones. Para él, era valiosa la posibilidad de apostar en el juego, todo o nada; él no sabía cuánto el Cuñado de Mat Head se preocupaba o no se preocupaba por su esposa, pero él sabía que él era insaciable, e hizo la apuesta sin embargo y él la aceptó; así, sus instintos eran correctos; por que él no podía soportar más el dolor ardiente que sentía dentro de si mismo al mirarla caminar entre los templos de Copan, y deseando que ella le perteneciera, a cualquier precio, y un alma hambrienta hará algo más para impedir aquella hambre.
– El juego de pelota había comenzado, como ya lo dije, y la pelota estaba en el aire; algunos jugadores estaban pateando, y empujando sus caderas, mientras ellos golpeaban la pelota hacia adelante y hacia atrás, en el campo de forma de “I”, de 25 metros de largo, 10 metros de ancho; todos los jugadores queriendo que la pelota no tocara el suelo, el cual terminaría éste, y once cabezas serían cortadas.
De repente el juego se detuvo…un silencio se apoderó de cada uno, los once jugadores cerraban sus ojos; ah! era una gran cosa morir, ser sacrificado por el juego, pero por otra parte, habría sido mejor tener que morir más adelante, la mayoría de los jugadores sintieron de esta forma, estoy seguro.

Los espectadores respiraron profundamente para ver quién ganó y quién perdió. La historia no favorecería al cuñado hoy, lamentablemente para su esposa por seguro. Sí, sí, la fortuna sonrió al Comerciante de Copan; estoy seguro que mis lectores están ahora oprimidos sobre esta materia pero esto es como es, que puedo decir.
Así, el muchacho afortunado la agarró como un mono salvaje agarrando un plátano de las manos del alimentador, y apresuradamente la llevó a su domicilio. Él la lanzó sobre la cama como una piel de animal, sus ojos brillaban con lujuria y pasión, y él se derritió en su cuerpo como el calor sobre el hielo; si algo, ella fuera herida más allá de todo entendimiento.
‘¿Cómo podría él hacer esto?’ Ella gimió, mientras este hombre gordo, feo y rígido se le echaba encima. Sin embargo ella se dijo que al menos él la quería. Él estaba dispuesto a dar todo su dinero por ella; mientras que su marido la vendió por un boleto de juego, y una apuesta. Esto estaba fuera de su joven entendimiento.

Varios años pasaron, y el viejo comerciante se volvió más gordo y más viejo, pero aparte de ser lascivo sobre ella, él era un buen proveedor, y le dio todo lo que ella deseaba. Ella se hizo conocida como una mujer de negocio, y en su 67 cumpleaños, él murió sobre la cama, como supongo él deseó que esto fuera así. Consiguientemente, ella era ahora la heredera de las propiedades que él una vez tenía, porque no habían hijos implicados.

Entonces ella hizo un trato con su ex-marido, sabiendo que a él le gustaba jugar, y que quería el dinero. Ella hizo la misma apuesta, bien casi la misma, una clase similar de apuesta con él de todos modos, como el Comerciante de Copan había hecho antes; ella apostó todas sus propiedades sobre el siguiente juego, que su equipo ganaría, y si él perdía, su ex-marido, él tendría que ser decapitado, así como el equipo vencido. Bien, él sintió que él podría reconquistarla así perdiera o ganara la apuesta, y así él acepto la apuesta. Pero otra vez, la vida no lo favorecería, él no fue hecho para ser un jugador, por seguro, y después de perder él la rogaba perdonara su vida, que lo aceptara de nuevo, diciendo en esencia, que ambos podrían disfrutar de la riqueza que ella había adquirido, y su vieja posición en el reino.

Ah ¡mi Dios!, ella era tan cuidadosa, que le dijo que iría a su casa y que pensaría en esto y lo decidiría al día siguiente. Bien, él pensó que esto estaba bien, al menos eso le pareció mejor que perder su cabeza hoy, y solamente el hecho de que ella lo pensaría era bastante para iluminarlo, sintiendo que él tendría la victoria final, y que era él quien contaba, él la tendría de vuelta y los tesoros, que más podría él pedir.
Pero como ya lo había dicho antes, el destino no siempre estaba en su bolsillo, esa noche el gobernador, Mat Head, pidió la cabeza de su cuñado, como que él había perdido la apuesta. Él pidió que ella esperara por su hermana hasta el día siguiente y que ella lo arreglaría todo, pero ella dijo:
“Una apuesta es una apuesta…y ésta deber ser pagada”.
No puedo recordar que más dijo ella, pero su cabeza fue cortada en un segundo.
Cuando la hermana de Mat Head volvió a la mañana siguiente, preguntó por su ex-marido, y descubrió por su hermana, Mat Head, que ella lo había decapitado. Ella gritó un rasgón, una lágrima muy grande, y luego sonrió a Mat Head.

Uptime Comparision Of Web-Based Vs Client-Server Systems

“What if the web goes down?” It’s a common question when people investigate web-based solutions. Certainly, technology introduces different failure modes than traditional processes. This begs the question, “How reliable are web-based solutions when compared with their client/server counterparts?”

The short answer is that web-based dental software applications, properly hosted, will be about ten times more reliable. Let’s now explore what drives this amazing reliability. We will also identify some actions that can mitigate the small risk associated with web availability.

Client/Server vulnerabilities

“Can you call back? Our server is down.” It’s almost a cliché. It happens with such regularity that we just take it for granted that it is just a fact of life. Many offices have grown accustomed to this situation as part of life with dental software. It is so commonplace because client/server based systems have many points of failure and any one of them can bring the whole system down.

Most client/server failures can trace their cause to two primary origins.

First, typical client/server installations are not redundant, nor are they fault tolerant. There are many potential single points of failure in a client/server setup. It is like a long chain where the strength of the whole is only as strong as its weakest link. When one link breaks, the whole chain is rendered useless. Every hardware component found in the server (motherboard, memory, hard drive, communications cards, etc.), the software installation and drivers, they all are potentially catastrophic failure points.

One solution is to use “fault tolerant” architectures, systems and equipment. Though it’s a nice theoretical option, it’s just not practical for a dental office to implement. Fault tolerant systems are so expensive that just the purchase price will break the budget. Additionally, they require some real smarts to put them together and maintain. (Not that dentists aren’t smart. They are smart, just in a different area.) It is a given fact that all computer hardware will break sometime. Computers (even really good ones) are complex electronic machines that will fail. If failure of a computer (or one of its components) is a given, then the ideal solution is to create an architecture that accepts that and designs for it. Unfortunately, there is no such architecture available at a reasonable price for office based client/server systems.

Secondly, the typical office based client/server installation is put together using consumer grade equipment, processes and environments, and is maintained in a very haphazard way.

Think for a second where the typical server is located. Is it in a climate controlled, sterile Network Operating Center (NOC)? Or is it in a broom closet next to the detergent and mop? Fundamentally, the typical installation of a client server based system is inherently at a disadvantage, simply by reason of where it is installed and how it is configured. The risk of bumping, or spilling, or nudging, or moving is synonymous with the risk of failure. Even just the extra humidity found in some offices or regions can significantly reduce the life of computer components. And guess what; the opposite is also true. Too little humidity creates a static environment that is a death sentence for any computer. Either way, if it’s not “just right” problems are more likely. Even with a perfectly controlled environment, things still break.

Finally, when a client server based system goes down, you will need to call your “IT guy” to come to the office and help get it back up and working. Sometimes all it takes is a “reboot”, but more often than not, there is an underlying problem that needs fixing.  Besides the financial consequences of the IT bill, the service call can take a valuable time. Even with responsive service, you still are looking at hours; for typical service it can be days or longer.

The result of all these failures ends up as system downtime that is measured in hours per month or days per year. That quality of service is very costly and is far inferior to web-based systems.

Web-based systems

Web based systems will typically have downtime that is measured in minutes per year. In fact, quality web-based products spend less down time than is typically required to reboot a windows PC once a month. Why is this? There are several reasons.

Redundant and fault tolerant architectures. Web-based systems are frequently developed using fault tolerant and redundant architectures. These setups assume that every component will break sometime. So, the architecture accommodates for the equipment to break.  Think of it like the backup systems found on the Star Trek Enterprise. It seemed as if every episode some Klingon ship was pelting the Enterprise with photon torpedoes and lasers; but because the ships architecture had been built to anticipate system failure, it was ok. Backup systems and secondary backup systems were in place to take over for the failed primary system.  And it did this on the fly – no downtime, no peril (well, maybe a little peril – but it wouldn’t be much of a movie if there weren’t a little peril).

Professionally housed, managed and maintained systems. There is something really comforting to know that really smart people are watching your system on a 24/7/365 basis. Literally, with professionally managed web-based systems there is someone who is on guard, watching the process and functionality of the hosted system on a continual basis, even after you go home at night, and even on weekends and holidays. Because someone is watching the system statistics, they can tell if a hard drive is starting to spin a little slower, or if a CPU is heating up more than expected. Hardware will usually give some sort of a warning before it breaks completely, and these vagrant components are replaced routinely before they fail.

Hardware Maintenance. Many hardware components have published useful service lives or quality guidelines. When the published service life of a hard drive or other system component is up, or it no longer works within the service guidelines, it will be replaced, even if it is technically “still working”. In a typical dental office, the old component will just stay in the machine until it breaks. (remember that “weak link” discussion?)

Hot swappable. Many industrial components in professionally managed environments are “hot swappable. This means you don’t have to shut down the system to replace the component. So, if a power supply on a server starts to go bad or completely fails, or if a hard drive stops working, it is taken out of the computer while the computer is still running, and is replaced on the fly. The computer does not need to be turned off to replace the component. It’s sort of like being able to change a flat tire without having to stop the car. Pretty amazing stuff, but that’s what you get with a redundant web-based architecture.

Controlled environment.  Sterile, humidity controlled environments are made perfect for the operation of computers. It’s sort of like the Bahamas of technology. Think of the perfect Caribbean vacation weather. Sunny, a little breeze, a shade tree, no insects, etc. Well, that’s what a Network Operating Center is for a computer. Professionally managed web-based systems are housed in Tier 1 “hardened” Network Operating Centers (NOC’s). This type of environment lengthens the life of computer components. It’s good for quality service, and it is also good for the NOC – they don’t have to replace broken hardware as frequently. Everybody wins.

So, what if the web does go down?

We’ve covered pretty well why web-based offerings can have substantially better uptime, but does that mean they are infallible? No. No more than you can guarantee that the power won’t go out in your office. Sometimes construction will cut the network line to your office, or a glitch at your Internet
Service Provider (ISP) causes a stoppage in service. What can you do then?

The most common method of protecting against a web access failure in a dental office is to bring in a redundant web access point. A common and simple method is to have a Verizon or Sprint wireless network card on your network in case the neighbor’s backhoe didn’t call Blue Stakes first. It comes with a monthly charge, but some offices find that the security of knowing they have an alternate web access point is worth the per month fee.

Many offices that start on this type of redundancy find that after many months or years of uninterrupted service, they choose to go without the redundant web access point. Actually, the risk is substantially less than you would think.

Utilities are more reliable than private services.

In addition to the inherent vulnerability of a client/server based system, they are also vulnerable to loss of electric power. The same goes for web-based systems.

If the power goes out and your computer system won’t run, then you probably are also having a hard time running your air compressor, autoclave, lights, etc. So, power is not just a technology problem

This risk can be mitigated by the use of Uninterruptable Power Supplies (more useful for “brown outs” than actual power outages), or by external generators for more extended periods of time. So, how many offices purchase a generator to protect against a loss of electric power in the office? Not many. Why? The answer is pretty simple.

Electric power is a public utility. As such, when an outage happens, there are typically hundreds or thousands of others with the same problem. With many people all experiencing the same failure, the company will put all available resources on the problem until it is fixed. These outages, in most areas, do not last very long, nor do they happen very often. If you live in an area that does experience frequent and prolonged failure, then you are probably among those who have a generator.

The same principle goes for internet access and internet service providers. If the internet goes down, there are hundreds or thousands of others in the same situation. The local internet service provider puts all available resources at the problem until service is restored. Because you are not alone, the problem is resolved much quicker and at less expense.

So, most offices find that although the internet does sometimes go down, it is so infrequent and of such short duration, that a backup internet access point isn’t justified. Client/server system downtime is on the order of ten times as disruptive in both frequency and duration when compared with web-based solutions.

In conclusion

Though it’s a reasonable question, “what do I do if the web goes down”, the facts indicate that the web will be available much more consistently than your in-office server will be.

If you live in a particularly vulnerable location or if your practice justifies the additional per month, you can completely protect yourself from internet outages with a simple wireless internet service from the major phone companies.

Keeping Yourself Safe When You Travel To Brazil

A nation that is rich in sights and attractions, Brazil is one of the best destination choices when you fly south of America. Brazil is the 5th largest and 5th most populous country in the world. Its territory spans from the Atlantic Ocean to the central and east of South America, dwarfing the neighboring countries of Argentina, Uraguay, and Paraguay in the south, Bolivia and Peru in the east, and Columbia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana in the north.

10 Most Popular Brazil destinations:

Copacabana Beach, Rio de Janeiro,
Corcovado, Rio de Janeiro,
Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo,
Ipanema Beach, Rio de Janeiro,
Tijuca National Park, Rio de Janeiro,
Iguacu Falls, Foz de Iguacu, Parana
Pantanal Wetlands, Pantanal, Mato Grosso
Teatro Municipal, Rio de Janeiro,
Sugar Loaf Mountain (Pao de Acucar), Rio de Janeiro
Pelourinho, Salvador, Bahia

If you plan to travel to any of these places or plan take Brazil experience elsewhere, here are some of the things you should remember.

Do’s:

1. Try to learn as much Portuguese as you can. Yes, Portuguese. If you happen to visit other South American countries and have learned Spanish in the process, well, you can’t use it. Try to learn some word- the usual conversational phrases and sentences. Remember that although you can survive with English in large cities, most people living in rural areas would not be able to understand you.

2. Avoid dark and isolated places especially if you are alone.

3. Carry only the basics. In this way, you can avoid the eyes of petty criminals.

4. Know your destination before leaving. This rule applies before you leave the United State and upon arrival at your hotel. Keep a map if you must and don’t allow anyone to know you are lost if ever you caught in the situation. Knowing where you are going leads to a safer Brazil travel.

5. Bring necessary clothes and survival stuff. Bring long pants, long-sleeved shirt, eyeglasses, cap or hat to avoid mosquito bites. To further attracting illnesses from insects like dengue, leishmaniasis, and malaria, do bring insect repellant. Or, if you are planning to stay out overnight, bring mosquito nets, insect sprays, and necessary prescription medications.

6. Take taxi instead of busses. Bring money pouches strap around your neck. If you are driving your car, always keep the door locked.

7. Respect the locals.

8. If you are a victim of crime, report immediately.

9. Brazil like any other places has rules to follow. Obey them to keep you out of trouble.

Don’ts:

1. Never bring excessive valuables and show it to public. As much as possible leave your rings, necklaces, bracelets, and other jewelries in a safe place. You can rent a purchase deposit box to keep your valuables safe.

2. Don’t carry money and credit card you don’t need because you can never tell when pickpocketers attack. Although Brazil has several safe places for tourists like Rio de Janeiro, it is always wise to keep your money in safe place. Try to carry enough cash for the day or at least one credit card with you. Leave the rest in you hotel.

3. Don’t swim in any fresh waters.

4. Avoid eating street foods and drink only bottled water. Don’t handle any animals.

5. Don’t bring to your hotel room any strangers you meet outside.
