2,113 | How to Apply Two‐Tone Eyeshadow | 1. Creating a Top-to-Bottom Two-Tone Look
1-1. Apply eye primer to your eyelids.
Dab a tiny bit of eye primer onto your finger, and apply this to your eyelids. Eye primer will help your makeup to go on smooth, and prevent it from smudging. If you don’t own primer, apply a thin layer of concealer instead.
1-2. Choose 2 eyeshadow colors.
For this look, you want to select 2 colors. The colors can be complementary or contrasting, and can range from metallic to pastel. You might select these based on the color of the outfit you want to wear, based on your skin tone, or based on the color of your eyes. Some ideas include:
For instance, you might combine gray and brown, coral and aqua blue, or purple and evergreen.
1-3. Line your upper lid with colorful liner.
Choose an eyeliner pencil that closely matches the eyeshadow color you plan to apply closest to your lashes. Use this to draw a thin line above your upper lashes. Gel pencils and traditional eyeliner pencils will both work great.
1-4. Use an eyeshadow brush to apply your first eyeshadow to your eyelid.
Open the eyeshadow that matches the eyeliner you just applied. Dab your eyeshadow brush into the color and gently wipe it across your eyelid. Color your eyelid from the outside corner in toward your nose, up as high as the crease. Try to create a smooth and even color.
1-5. Use an angled brush to apply the second color eyeshadow under your eye.
Open the second color. Dab an angled brush (the brush normally used for eyeliner) into the color. Spread the eyeshadow in a thin line just under your bottom lashes. If you want, you can make the line a little thicker toward the outer corner of your eye.
1-6. Finish with mascara.
Apply your favorite mascara to your upper and lower lashes to complete this look. Wait 5 seconds, and apply a second coat. Mascara will help define your eyes and make the eyeshadow pop.
2. Applying a Side-to-Side Two-Tone Look
2-1. Prime your eyelids.
Squeeze a tiny bit of eye primer onto your fingers, and apply a thin coat to both eyelids. This will help to secure your eyeshadow, and help the color stand out. If you don’t have any eye primer at home, add a thin layer of concealer.
2-2. Choose 2 eyeshadow colors.
For this look, you can use bright or neutral colors. You can either choose a lighter and darker version of the same color for a subtle look, or go for contrasting colors if your style is more bold. Either way, select one color that is on the lighter side, and one that is darker. Some ideas include:
Bold green and pale pink
Light pink and deep fuschia
Lilac and plum
2-3. Use a rounded brush to apply the lighter color of eyeshadow.
Using a small shadow brush with a rounded tip, apply the lighter color to the inside of each eyelid (the side closer to your nose). Apply this to your eyelids, as high up as the crease. Try to create a smooth and even coat.
If you want your eyeshadow to look really bold, use a dense brush. If you want a more natural look, you might use a brush with softer bristles, instead.
2-4. Use a rounded brush to apply the darker color of eyeshadow.
Use a small shadow brush with a rounded tip to apply the darker color to the outer edge of each eyelid. Spread the color over half of each eyelid, as high up as the crease. Create a rich color by applying a thick coat of eyeshadow.
2-5. Blend the colors in the center.
Using a blending brush (or your fingers), carefully blend the 2 colors in the middle. Add color to either side, as needed. Try to make it to look as though 1 color fades into the other.
2-6. Line the bottom of your eye with color, if desired.
Using an angled brush, line your bottom lashes with the same color you used on the outer edge of your eyes. Alternatively, you can eyeliner in a similar shade. If you do not like to use color on your bottom lashes, you can skip this step.
2-7. Finish the look with mascara.
Mascara will finish this look. Mascara adds definition to the eyes and accentuates the two-tone look of your eye shadow. Use the mascara wand to apply your first coat of mascara to your upper and lower lashes. Wait 5 seconds and apply another coat.
Tips
For a two-tone look that makes your eyes appear bigger, apply a light-colored eyeshadow to your eyelid and a dark shadow in the crease of your eyelid. Blend the 2 colors together.

2,114 | How to Apply Urea Fertilizer | 1. Applying Urea on Its Own
1-1. Minimize ammonia loss by applying urea on a cool day.
Urea is best applied on a cool day, in weather between 32° to 60° F (0°-15.6° C), and with little to no wind. At colder temperatures, the ground is frozen, making it difficult to incorporate the urea into the soil. At higher temperatures, and in windy conditions, the urea is broken down faster than it can soak into the soil.
1-2. Use a urea fertilizer with a urease inhibitor before planting.
Urease is the enzyme that begins the chemical reaction that turns urea into the nitrates plants need. Applying urea fertilizers before planting leads to high amounts of the urea being lost before it can benefit your plants. Using a fertilizer with a urease inhibitor can slow the chemical reaction, and helps retain urea in the soil.
1-3. Spread the urea evenly across the soil.
Urea is packaged and sold as small, solid pellets or granules. Broadcast the urea with a fertilizer spreader or sprinkle the pellets by hand evenly across your soil. For most plants, you will want to keep the urea close to the plant's roots, or close to where you will plant the seeds.
1-4. Wet the soil.
Before urea is turned into the nitrates your plants need, it first becomes ammonia gas. Because gases can easily escape from the surface of the soil, applying fertilizer when the ground is wet will help to incorporate the urea into the soil before the chemical reaction begins. This way, more of the ammonia is trapped within the soil.
The top half inch (1.3 cm) of soil should be wet to keep as much ammonia gas in the soil as possible. You can water the soil yourself, apply the urea before it rains, or apply within 48 hours after the snow on your fields has completely melted.
1-5. Till the soil to incorporate the urea.
Tilling your fields or garden is a great way to incorporate the urea fertilizer into the soil before any of the ammonia gas can be lost. Harrow, drag, or hoe the field in order to incorporate the urea into the top layer of the soil.
1-6. Control the amount of nitrogen you give to potato plants.
Certain varieties of potatoes can handle high levels of nitrogen, while others cannot. Be cautious and treat all potatoes the same way. Avoid giving potato plants large quantities of nitrogen with your urea fertilizer.
Urea fertilizers can be applied directly onto potato plants, or in a solution with other fertilizers, as long as the solution is made up of 30% nitrogen or less.
Solutions of urea fertilizer that are more than 30% nitrogen should only be applied to fields before potatoes are planted.
1-7. Fertilize grains with urea on a mild day.
Urea can be applied directly onto most cereal grains, but never in temperatures above 60° F (15.6° C). When applied in warmer temperatures, the plants will give off an odor of ammonia.
1-8. Apply urea to corn seeds indirectly.
Only apply urea to corn indirectly, by spreading the urea onto soil at least 2 inches (5 cm) away from the corn seeds. Direct exposure to urea is toxic to the seeds, and greatly reduces the corn plant's yield.
2. Mixing Urea with Other Fertilizers
2-1. Determine your ideal fertilizer ratio.
Fertilizer ratios, also called N-P-K numbers, are a series of 3 numbers that tell you how much of a fertilizer mixture, by weight, is made up of fertilizers rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. If you have a sample of your soil studied, you will be provided with an ideal fertilizer ratio that will help make up for your soil's nutrient deficiencies.
Most hobbyist gardeners can find premixed fertilizers that will suit their needs at a plant nursery or garden supply center.
2-2. Combine urea with additional fertilizers to create a stable fertilizer mixture.
Urea provides plants with nitrogen, but other elements, like phosphorus and potassium, are important for plant health as well. Fertilizers that you can safely mix and store with urea include:
Calcium cyanamide
Sulphate of potash
Sulphate of potash magnesium
2-3. Mix urea with certain fertilizers to fertilize plants immediately.
There are certain fertilizers that can be mixed with urea, but lose their effectiveness after 2-3 days because of the reactions that occur between the fertilizer's chemicals. These include:
Chilean nitrate
Sulphate of ammonia
Nitrogen magneseia
Diamonnium phosphate
Basic slag
Rock phosphate
Muriate of potash
2-4. Prevent unwanted chemical reactions from harming your crops.
Some fertilizers will react with urea to either create a volatile chemical reaction or render the fertilizer mixture completely useless. Never combine urea with the following fertilizers:
Calcium nitrate
Calium ammonium nitrate
Limestone ammonium nitrate
Ammonium sulphate nitrate
Nitropotash
Potash ammonium nitrate
Superphosphate
Triple superphosphate
2-5. Blend urea with phosphorus and potassium-rich fertilizers for a well-balanced fertilizer.
Referencing the list of fertilizers that are and are not effective to mix with urea, choose sources of phosphorus and potassium to add to your fertilizer mix. Many of these are available at nurseries and garden supply stores.
Add each of your chosen fertilizers together, according to the weights given by your fertilizer ratio. Mix them together thoroughly. This can be done in a large bucket, in a wheelbarrow, or with mechanical mixers.
2-6. Spread your urea-based fertilizer evenly across your crops.
Apply your fertilizer mixture as you would apply urea on its own, spreading it evenly across the soil. Then water and till the soil in order to incorporate the fertilizer.
Urea is less dense than other fertilizers. If you are using spinning-type equipment to spread your urea-based fertilizer over large distances on your farm, keep your spread width below 50 feet (15.2 m) to spread the fertilizer mixture equally.
Tips
This article discusses fertilizer ratios. Do not confuse fertilizer ratios with fertilizer grades. Fertilizer ratios tell you, by weight, how much of a particular fertilizer to add to your fertilizer mix. Fertilizer grades tell you how much of each individual element is in your fertilizer. To use a fertilizer grade to determine a fertilizer ratio, divide each number of the fertilizer grade by the smallest of the 3 numbers.[13]
X
Research source
Always follow the directions provided with commercially available fertilizers.
Warnings
Too much nitrate in the soil can burn plants. Applying urea fertilizer to wet soil will help prevent burning.
Always store urea and ammonium nitrate separately.[14]

2,115 | How to Apply Vaginal Cream | 1. Inserting Vaginal Cream
1-1. Prepare the cream.
The tube of cream should come with an applicator that you can screw it onto. Gently squeeze the tube from the bottom so that the applicator is filled with the correct dosage. Look for a fill mark on the applicator or fill the applicator completely, if instructed. Don't overfill the applicator since you'll need to unscrew the applicator from the tube. Hold the applicator upright so that none of the cream leaks out.
Avoid screwing the applicator and the tube too tight. You'll need to be able to get the tube of cream out of the applicator for future use.
1-2. Position your body.
Stand with your legs and knees apart. Place one foot up on a stool, the edge of the toilet, the bathtub or a chair. Or, you could lay on your back with your knees bent and your feet about shoulder width apart.
You should be somewhat comfortable and have easy access to your vaginal opening.
1-3. Insert the applicator.
Take your non-dominant hand and separate the lips of your vulva (the labia) so that your vagina is exposed. Your dominant hand should be holding the applicator filled with cream. Relax and place the applicator into your vaginal opening. Insert it in your vagina and depress the plunger of the applicator using your index finger. Depress the plunger completely so that it stops moving and all the cream is inserted.
It may help to point the applicator towards the small of your back when you place it into your vaginal opening.
1-4. Dispose of the applicator.
Remove the applicator and dispose of it if you won't need it again. If you used a reusable applicator, wash it with warm soapy water. Rinse it well and let it air dry completely. Remember to wash and dry your hands.
Since some of the cream may leak out, you might want to wear a sanitary pad (not a tampon) to collect any discharge.
2. Using Vaginal Creams Effectively
2-1. Use the cream even if you start menstruating.
You should use the vaginal cream for the full number of days prescribed at the correct dose. Don't stop using the vaginal cream if you start menstruating. The vaginal cream will still be effective; it just may be a little messier to insert. Just make sure to use sanitary pads since tampons could absorb the cream.
If you miss a dose or run out of the vaginal cream before your treatment is complete, call the doctor or pharmacist for a refill.
2-2. Store the vaginal cream correctly.
Most vaginal creams are designed to be stored at room temperature. Check the information on the box or ask your pharmacist to be sure. Storing the cream at a temperature that's too hot or cold could damage it.
It's best to store most medications in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing medication in a medicine cabinet since heat and moisture from the bathroom could cause it to be less effective or expire early.
2-3. Apply the cream at night.
The heat of your body will cause most creams to leak out a little after you apply them to your vagina. If you can, try to use the vaginal cream at night. Laying down after you apply the cream can also keep it in your vagina longer and reduce the amount that leaks out.
If you need to use vaginal creams during the day, wear a sanitary pad to avoid staining your underwear and lay down for a few minutes immediately after you apply the cream, if you can.
2-4. Watch for side effects.
The side effects will vary depending on what medication is in the vaginal cream. In general, side effects may include vaginal discomfort, vaginal dryness, burning or itching and potentially messy discharge from the vagina.
Be sure to read the information that came with the vaginal cream. This will give you more detailed information about the specific side effects you can expect.
2-5. Get medical attention if you feel discomfort.
If any side effects are causing you discomfort or you feel pain, contact your doctor. If you experience swelling of the vagina and vulva area, itching, hives, or tightness of the chest, you may be having an allergic reaction so it's important to get medication attention.
Always ask your doctor if you have any questions about using the vaginal cream. You should also talk with your doctor about whether or not you need to refrain from sexual intercourse while you use the vaginal cream.

2,116 | How to Apply Vampire Fangs Without Glue | 1. Using Denture Cream
1-1. Buy a tube of denture adhesive cream that says “super” or “superior hold.”
Look for denture adhesive creams, like Fixodent, Polident, or Poligrip, with those labels. They mean the adhesive is long-lasting. If you only plan on using the cream for your fangs, choose the smallest tube, like a 2.5 oz (84 g) one, as you won’t need very much.
You can buy denture cream from a pharmacy, drug store, or online retailer. Most tubes cost less than $5.
1-2. Dry off your upper teeth and gums with a tissue.
Blot the tissue all over your top teeth and gums to remove any excess moisture. This helps the denture adhesive cream stick to your teeth better. Do this right before you’re ready to apply the fang.
You can also use a paper towel or cotton swab instead of a tissue.
1-3. Squeeze a small dot of cream onto the backside of the fang at the top.
Hold the tip of the tube at the wide top of the fang and squeeze a tiny amount of cream onto the fang. Keep the cream on the top half of the fang since that’s the part that will be against your tooth.
If you get too much on the fang or some on the pointy tip, wipe off the extra with a cotton swab.
Use individual fangs instead of the ones that come in whole sets of teeth. You can buy fangs at a Halloween store or party goods store.
1-4. Place the fang over your canine tooth and hold it for 10 to 15 seconds.
Press the fang against your canine tooth so that the pointy tip is facing down and the concave side with the adhesive is covering your tooth. Hold it with your fingers until you can move your hand away and the fang stays in place.
To find your canine tooth, start at the middle of your upper teeth and count over 3 teeth. It’s the 3rd tooth from the center and is usually slightly pointier than the others.
Use a timer or the clock app on your phone to keep track of the time if necessary.
1-5. Apply cream to the 2nd fang and press it into place over your tooth.
Repeat the same process on your other canine tooth. Squeeze a dot of denture adhesive cream onto the back of the fang, then hold it in place for 10 to 15 seconds on your tooth.
Try to align the 2nd fang so that the pointy tip is as far down as the 1st fang and they’re even.
1-6. Remove your fangs before eating or sleeping, then reapply them with more cream.
Don't eat with your fangs in. If you do, you could crack the fangs or they could fall off. Instead, peel them off by pulling them forward and set them aside before you eat. Take them off before you sleep, too.
After eating, dab a little more denture cream on the back of each fang and stick them back onto your teeth.
If you want the fangs to hold better, brush your teeth and dry them with a tissue before putting the fangs on again.
2. Making Your Own Fangs with Thermoplastic Beads
2-1. Place 1 tablespoon (14 g) of thermoplastic beads in a glass dish.
Use a small glass dish for your beads so that they don't stick when you melt them. Pour the beads into the bottom.
You can buy thermoplastic beads from a craft store or online retailer.
2-2. Heat the beads with a hairdryer until they turn clear.
Turn a hairdryer on to the highest heat setting and hold it about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) over the dish with the beads inside. Keep the hot air on the beads until they turn from white to clear and start sticking together.
2-3. Divide the melted plastic in half and form 2 individual fang shapes.
Once the beads have melted into 1 piece of plastic, pull it apart to create 2 even pieces. Use your fingers to roll and pull each piece of plastic into a basic fang shape, with a wider base and pointy tip.
If the plastic is too hot to touch at first, let it cool for 1 to 2 minutes before you start shaping it.
Try to make the fang shapes as identical as possible.
2-4. Press each fang onto one of your canine teeth to mold them.
Push 1 fang onto your left canine tooth so the pointy tip faces down. Then press the other fang onto your right canine tooth. Push firmly so that the fang molds around your tooth.
Work quickly while the plastic is still bendy.
To find your canine teeth, count 3 teeth over from the center. They're usually slightly pointy.
2-5. Leave the fangs in for at least 15 minutes or until they turn white.
Once you've molded the fangs around your teeth, leave them in your mouth until they've cooled completely, or for about 15 minutes. You'll know they're cool when the plastic turns from clear to white.
Pop your fangs out before eating or sleeping by pulling the bottom up and off. Since they're shaped to your teeth, they'll suction right over your natural teeth. You don't need any glue or adhesive.

2,117 | How to Apply Varathane Wood Stain | 1. Setting up Your Workspace
1-1. Take any removable parts off the wood you’re staining.
Staining a piece of furniture is far easier when you’re able to do it in parts. Make sure you remove anything that could get your way as well. Arrange the furniture so it’s accessible on all sides. That way, you will be able to cover it without leaving any inconsistencies in the finish.
For example, pull out drawers and detach table legs. Broad, flat surfaces, such as tabletops, are easier to stain. Set the removed parts aside to stain separately.
If you can’t remove a part, leave it there and work around it. You can protect most surfaces by covering them with painter’s tape if necessary.
1-2. Cover the floor and other nearby surfaces with plastic.
If you are able to, stain furniture outdoors to eliminate the possibility of discoloring your home’s floors. If that isn’t an option, spread a drop cloth or tarp over the floor and set the wood on top of it. Then, add protective plastic over any nearby walls or upholstery that could get dirty as well.
To deal with a cushioned chair, for instance, place a plastic sheet over the upholstery. Use painter’s tape to hold the sheet in place.
You can get supplies online or from most hardware stores. These places also have Varathane and anything else you might need.
1-3. Put on a dust mask and rubber gloves before staining wood.
Use the dust mask for protection against wood dust while you’re sanding. The rubber gloves will be necessary right away if you're removing an old finish. Otherwise, you can wait until you're ready to apply the stainer before putting them on.
1-4. Ventilate the room as much as you are able to.
If possible, do the sanding and staining outdoors. It will help keep your home clean while also eliminating wood dust and other irritants. If you’re working inside, open up nearby doors and windows instead. Also, turn on any ventilation fans you have installed.
Keep other people and pets out of the area while you’re working.
2. Removing Old Finishes and Sanding
2-1. Apply a leave-on paint stripper to the wood if it has an old finish on it.
Select a paint stripper that you don’t have to rinse off afterward. Also, choose a product that matches the type of finish on the wood you’re staining. Then, apply it with a disposable paint brush. Make sure the entire surface is well-covered.
For example, your finish could be varnish, lacquer, or something else. Each one requires a specific product. Get a varnish remover if you have a varnish finish, for instance.
If you’re unsure what kind of finish you’re dealing with, apply a few drops of a solvent like denatured alcohol, which softens shellac. Lacquer thinner works on lacquer, while xylene works on water-based finishes.
2-2. Wait about 20 minutes for the stripper to activate.
It will soak into the finish and soften it. If you’re removing paint, you may see the paint bubble and crack. For other types of finishes, watch for the finish to turn cloudy or otherwise become soft and sticky.
Note that you may need to let the product soak in for longer in order to fully soften the finish. Check the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the recommended wait.
2-3. Remove the old finish with a paint scraper.
Gently scrape the old finish from one end of the wood to the other. Press down with a light amount of pressure to avoid scratching the wood. The softened finish will peel off without difficulty. Make sure it is completely removed.
You could also use fine steel wool to remove stubborn residue. Be careful and scrub only along the wood’s grain to avoid scratches.
2-4. Sand the wood lightly along its grain with 120-grit sandpaper.
If you look closely at the wood, you will be able to see some small, dark lines running from one end to the other. The grain is the pattern of the fibers inside the wood, and following them is very important. Starting at one end of the wood, begin scrubbing with circular motions along the grain. When you reach the end, go back to start on an untreated portion of the wood, repeating until the entire piece has been sanded evenly.
Going across the grain is a sure way to cause scratches that show up through the finish. They can often be removed by sanding the wood along its grain.
The sandpaper is somewhat rough, so don’t scrub too hard. It could scratch the wood if you’re not careful.
2-5. Rub the wood a second time with 150-grit sandpaper.
Sanding wood multiple times leads to a much smoother finish that absorbs plenty of Varathane stain. Always use a sandpaper grit a little higher than the one before it. Take your time to sand the entire piece of wood on all sides, making sure you don’t miss any spots.
If you’re planning on only sanding the wood once, use 150-grit sandpaper. It is perfect for opening the wood’s pores without leaving the surface too rough.
2-6. Smooth the wood by sanding it with 180-grit sandpaper.
Both types of sandpaper are considered very fine, so they are useful for wearing down any rough spots left on the wood. Rub it gently along the grain to make it consistent. Touch the wood afterward and, if you notice any spots that still feel rough, be sure to wear them down before staining.
Any rough patches, swirls, or sanding marks could prevent the Varathane from soaking in evenly. Make sure you sand every area with the same, consistent amount of pressure.
Always finish with the highest grit you have available. Using a lower grit will affect the stain and leave visible scratches.
2-7. Clean wood dust and other debris off with a tack cloth.
Any debris left on the table could ruin the finish, so give the wood a thorough wipedown a couple of times to make sure you eliminate all of it. Look for any spots you missed that may require a little more attention. Once the entire surface looks smooth and consistent, it can be stained.
You could also use a shop vacuum to suck up all the dust from the table. Most regular vacuums won’t work, but shop vacuums are able to trap even fine dust particles.
If you don’t have a tack cloth or vacuum, dampen a lint-free cloth in a little bit of lukewarm water and wipe down the wood. Dry off the moisture with a second cloth.
3. Staining the Wood
3-1. Stir the Varathane thoroughly before applying it to the wood.
Open the canister of Varathane and set it near your table. Varathane has a sediment in it that has to be mixed in so it doesn’t settle at the bottom. Use a wood stirring stick to swirl it around for 15 to 30 seconds. Make sure the Varathane is a uniform color with no solid sediment floating in it.
The sediment is responsible for the stain’s coloring. If it isn’t well-mixed, it could cause the stain to appear uneven later.
3-2. Load the Varathane onto a foam brush.
Try using a 2 in (5.1 cm) foam brush for a consistent, controlled application. Dip the brush into the container to scoop out a small amount of the Varathane. Get as much as you will need to apply a thin but consistent coating to the wood. Make sure it isn’t dripping when you move toward the wood.
You could also apply the stainer with a synthetic-bristle paint brush or a clean, lint-free cloth. Many experienced woodworkers find using a cloth to be easier and claim that it leads to a better finish.
3-3. Drag the brush along the wood’s grain to apply the stainer.
Start at one end of the wood and follow the grain toward the opposite end. Apply the Varathane in a strip along one part of the wood. When you reach one end, start again at the beginning. Take time to smooth out the stain to ensure that the finish is consistent.
Go back over treated sections once or twice, especially if you notice excess stainer pooling anywhere. Spread out the excess before applying additional product.
If you notice puddles forming, apply less of the Varathane. Keep the coating thin to avoid making the finish too dark.
3-4. Treat 2.15 sq ft (0.200 m) sections at a time to prevent the stain from drying out.
Since Varathane dries pretty quickly compared to other products, you’re better off applying it in limited amounts. Cover small areas with each application. Make sure each part is saturated with a consistent coating of the stain before moving on to the next one.
To get a consistent finish, let the Varathane sit for a couple of minutes, then wipe up the excess before beginning on the next section.
You may not be able to finish a project in a single coat. With a tabletop, for instance, let the top dry completely, then flip it over to finish the underside.
3-5. Wait 2 to 3 minutes for the stain to settle into the wood.
If you’re thinking that a couple of minutes seems like too short of a time for the stain to dry, you’re right. The Varathane will settle into the wood during this time, but it won’t begin drying. This will give you a chance to check the finish one last time before allowing it to dry.
Expect Varathane to begin drying after 5 minutes. Make any adjustments to the finish before then. Don’t wait too long!
3-6. Scrub off any excess Varathane with a cloth before it dries.
Go back over the coated portion of the wood with a clean cloth. Press the cloth down lightly while rubbing it along the grain. It will absorb any excess still on the wood so that the finish is more uniform. Spots with excess Varathane will turn darker than the rest of the wood, so be aware of any areas that look wet or inconsistent.
You don’t have to remove the stainer, but it’s worth doing to ensure that the final coloring isn’t overly dark or spotty. If you think that the coating looks even and is the color you want, you can leave it alone.
If you’re concerned about the stain looking too dark, you are better off removing as much of it as you can now. You can always follow up with another coating if you need to darken it later.
4. Finishing and Sealing the Stain
4-1. Wait about 1 hour for the stain to dry.
Leave the wood out in an open area with good air circulation so it dries out at a faster rate. Let everyone else in your home know not to touch it. Note that the drying time may vary a little bit depending on the weather. It dries out fastest during warm days with low humidity.
Other staining products take up to a day to dry. The main advantage of Varathane is that it’s so much quicker, so you can get to finishing the project right away.
4-2. Apply Varathane to any surfaces you were unable to reach originally.
Sometimes you aren’t able to finish a piece as a consistent whole. Once the wood is dry to the touch, you can flip it over and begin addressing any sides you missed earlier. Coat these sides by spreading the Varathane in a thin layer along the grain. Remember to tackle small sections at a time so the Varathane doesn’t dry out before you are able to clean up any excess.
These surfaces will all need time to dry, too. Let them dry for an hour or else the finish will get ruined when you flip the wood back over.
You might need to do this with a tabletop, for example. If you detached it from its legs and laid it on top of a drop cloth, you wouldn’t be able to reach its underside without flipping it.
4-3. Recoat the wood with additional layers of Varathane to darken the finish.
One coating of Varathane is often enough to give wood a new, bright finish. Take a step back and examine the wood from a few different angles. If it looks too light or inconsistent, it could benefit from another coating. Spread more Varathane in small sections along the grain with a brush or rag.
Most projects will look great after a single coating, or with 2 at most. Apply the stainer sparingly, since each layer darkens the finish.
Remember to let each application dry for an hour. Also, flip the wood to recoat any surfaces you couldn’t reach. Make sure they all receive the same amount of Varathane.
4-4. Finish the wood with a clear top coat to protect it from damage.
After the new stain has finished drying, seal it in. Polyurethane and lacquer are both water-resistant and good for finishing unsealed wood surfaces. Stir the clear coat in its container, then spread it along the wood’s grain with a fresh brush or rag. Drag your brush along the grain again afterward to smooth out the coating and fill in any gaps.
For the best result, apply 2 to 3 thin layers of clear coat. It will result in a smooth, shiny finish that lets the wood’s new stain shine.
To help clear coat layers adhere to one another, you could scrub them gently with a piece of 320-grit sandpaper.
4-5. Let the clear coat dry for at least 24 hours.
It’s more waiting, but you’re almost done. Leave the wood alone in a dry spot with plenty of air circulation. The exact drying time will vary depending on the weather. Make sure no one else touches the wood in the meantime. Once the wood is dry to the touch, you can proudly display the wood to enjoy its fresh finish.
Remember to flip the wood over if you need to in order to cover sides you couldn't finish earlier. Give the fresh layer of clear coat another day to dry.
Tips
Test Varathane on a piece of scrap wood or an inconspicuous spot. Use it to get an idea of what the finish will look like before you spread the product all over a valuable wood item.[24]
X
Research source
To remove an old clear coat, select a paint stripper matching the kind of finish on the wood. If you apply the product with a paint brush and leave it there, it will soften the finish so you can scrape it off afterward.[25]

Research source
There are plenty of other wood staining products available. Although they are applied similarly to Varathane, they often take longer to dry, so be prepared to wait a little longer.
Warnings
To avoid breathing in anything dangerous, wear a dust mask when sanding or staining wood. Also, put on rubber gloves while handling Varathane to avoid discoloring your skin.

2,118 | How to Apply Varnish | 1. Preparing to Varnish Wood
1-1. Sand your wood.
This will remove any imperfections and blemishes before applying the varnish. Use 100 grit sandpaper for unfinished pieces, and work with the grain of the wood. Sand gently until the piece is smooth.
If your piece is stained, use 240 or 280 grit sandpaper.
1-2. Clean your workspace.
Varnish is beautiful, durable finish, but it is prone to attracting dust, hair, and other impurities before it dries. Plan to varnish your piece in a place that is clean and will not be disturbed.
Try to apply the varnish in a different location than the one you sanded your piece in.
If you have to use the same location, vacuum (don’t sweep) thoroughly after sanding.
Wet mopping the floor before you begin can also help keep dust down.
1-3. Gather your varnishing supplies.
You’ll only need a few basic supplies to varnish wood. All of them are readily available at your local hardware store. Make sure to get:
Varnish (read the label carefully to make sure it is true oil-based varnish, not polyurethane)
A paintbrush (natural bristle is preferable)
A stirring stick
A large, clear measuring cup with markings on the side
Paint thinner (turpentine or mineral spirits)
Rubber gloves and a respirator (optional)
1-4. Stir the varnish carefully.
Avoid shaking the container of varnish. Open it carefully, and use your stick to stir the varnish thoroughly. Work slowly and gently -- you don’t want to introduce air bubbles into the varnish.
1-5. Thin your varnish.
Pour enough varnish for the first coat into your measuring cup. The exact amount will vary depending on how large your piece is, but generally it pays to start small - you can always add more. Then, add some paint thinner directly to the varnish and stir carefully.
Experts suggest using 20-25 percent thinner for the first coat of varnish, and 5-10 percent for subsequent coats.
For instance, if you pour three quarters of a cup of varnish for your first coat, add one quarter cup of thinner. For subsequent cups, you can pour 9 ounces of varnish and 1 ounce of thinner.
2. Applying Varnish to Wood
2-1. Brush varnish lightly onto your wood.
Dip just the tip of your brush into the varnish-thinner mixture, and gently apply it to your piece. Work in the direction of the wood grain, not back-and-forth. Start in one corner and do a one foot square. When that is finished, move your brush and start another square right next to it. Repeat until the entire surface is covered.
Keep dipping your brush into the varnish to keep it wet.
Wear rubber gloves and a respirator, if you want to protect yourself from fumes and spills.
2-2. Tip off while the varnish is still wet.
“Tipping off” smoothes out the surface of the varnish and helps prevent any bubbles and streaks. Hold the brush at a right angle to the work surface, and lightly brush just the tip of the brush over the whole varnished surface. Once again, work in the direction of the wood grain.
2-3. Apply two thin coats of varnish, then sand and apply another.
Most projects will need several coats of varnish. Let each coat dry thoroughly. This will take at least 6 hours, and probably 24 or more. After the second coat has dried, sand the piece with 320-grit sandpaper. Wipe away the residue, then apply at least one more coat of varnish.
Varnish is dry when it does not feel tacky to the touch.
If your sandpaper becomes clogged with residue, it’s a sign the varnish has not sufficiently dried.
Light-wear projects, like trim, may only need one coat of varnish. Heavy-duty pieces like furniture may need around five.
Let the final coat cure for several weeks before using the item.
3. Varnishing a Painting
3-1. Wait until your painting is completely dry.
Attempting to apply varnish to a painting before it is totally dry will create a mess and possibly ruin your work. Oil paintings should cure for several months before they are ready, while acrylic paintings should be completely dry in 24 hours.
3-2. Clean your workspace.
Varnish attracts dust and other impurities, so minimize these by vacuuming your workspace beforehand. Avoid sweeping, as this will only stir up more dust.
Close doors and windows to keep additional dust out.
3-3. Gather your varnishing supplies.
A wide, flat, and soft brush is ideal for varnishing. To keep impurities out, dedicate a brush solely to varnishing, not painting. Clean it after each use. You will also need some artist-quality varnish (for acrylics or oils, depending on your paints), and a shallow tray to pour the varnish into.
3-4. Prepare your varnish for application.
Open the container of varnish and stir it gently but thoroughly. Pour a small amount onto your shallow tray. Load your brush by running it through the varnish, then wiping it on the side of the tray.
3-5. Apply the varnish to your painting.
Keep your work flat so the varnish does not run. Run your brush in long, even strokes from the top to the bottom of your painting. Proceed from one side to the other. Apply only a thin coat.
3-6. Add another layer, if desired.
One coat is enough varnish for many paintings. If you would like thicker coverage, let the first dry for 24 hours before applying a second coat. For the second coat, run your brush horizontally rather than vertically, as you did for the first coat. This will provide optimal coverage.
If you missed spots in the first coat, don’t go back over it until it has dried thoroughly.
For a very thick coat, you can add a third coat of varnish after waiting for the second to dry.
Tips
Varnish works best on coarse-grained woods like oak, ash, and walnut.[18]

2,119 | How to Apply Velcro Strips | 1. Adhesive-Backed Strips
1-1. Clean and dry the surfaces where you want to place your Velcro.
The adhesive on your strips won’t stick very well if the surfaces are dirty. You can use any multi-surface cleaner to wipe the items you’re attaching the Velcro to. After cleaning off any dust or residue, dry the surfaces completely with a clean cloth.
Rough up a smooth surface with fine-grit sandpaper for an extra secure hold.
1-2. Peel the backing off of one strip.
The Velcro’s hook side and loop side will each have their own adhesive backing. Peel the protective sheet off the strip to expose the adhesive underneath. Once you take the backing off, be careful not to touch the sticky sides, or else they might not adhere very well.
1-3. Press the first strip onto your item.
You can use the hook or loop strip on either surface, so it doesn’t matter which one you use right now. Line the strip up with where you want to place it and push it firmly against the surface. Press down on the strip with your palm to make sure it’s flat.
Adhesive strips don’t work well on fabrics, vehicle dashboards, or flexible vinyl. They may also come loose if they’re left in direct sunlight.
1-4. Place the second strip on the second object.
Peel off the adhesive from the other strip and position it on the second item. Press the strip down firmly so it makes good contact with the material.
1-5. Wait 24 hours for the strongest adhesion.
While you can attach the Velcro strips to one another right away, it won’t quite hold at full strength. If you’re worried about the adhesive coming undone, then give it at least a day before putting the strips together.
Adhesive Velcro strips won’t stick as well if you peel them off and try reusing them.
2. Sew-On Strips
2-1. Cut the Velcro strip to the size you need.
Velcro strips work perfectly to secure fabrics without using a button or zipper. Since sew-on Velcro comes in a roll, measure the area of the fabric where you want to attach the strip. Use a pair of scissors to cut the strip to size.
You can buy sew-on Velcro strips online or from big box stores and craft stores.
2-2. Put the hook strip on the side of the garment facing away from your skin.
The hook strip is the scratchy side of the Velcro that holds onto the loop, or soft, side. Since it’s easier to pull the loop strip off of the hooks, set the hook strip on the garment so it points away from your body.
If you’re not attaching the Velcro to clothing, then it doesn’t matter which strip you use.
2-3. Sew around the edges of the strip.
You can either sew by hand or use a sewing machine to attach the Velcro. Go around each edge of the strip with your needle and thread so the Velcro doesn’t lift up off of the fabric. Be sure you backstitch the seam to make it more secure.
Try using the same color thread as the Velcro so it blends in.
You can also sew an X through the center of the Velcro to keep it flat against the fabric.
2-4. Attach the other strip of Velcro to the second piece of fabric.
Position the second strip on your fabric so it lines up with the first piece when you fasten them together. Use your sewing machine or sew by hand to secure the edges of the strip. Backstitch the Velcro so it’s less likely to tear off after using it repeatedly.
You can wash and dry the fabric immediately after you sew the Velcro to it.
3. Iron-On Strips
3-1. Wash and dry the fabric.
The adhesive on the back of your Velcro strip won’t stick very well if there’s dirt or residue on the fabric, so toss the garment in with your regular laundry. Make sure the fabric feels completely dry before you start, or the strip could come undone.
3-2. Heat up a steam iron to the highest heat setting.
Fill up your iron with water and turn on the steam setting. Set your iron to the highest heat and let it warm up completely before you start working.
Make sure you use an ironing board and keep the oven in a heat-safe place so it doesn’t burn anything.
3-3. Peel the backing off of the Velcro strip.
The iron-on Velcro has a protective backing on both the hook and loop pieces. Only remove the backing off of 1 piece at a time so it’s easier to work with. Once you remove the backing, don’t touch the exposed adhesive or it might not stick against the fabric well.
3-4. Press the adhesive strip onto the piece of fabric.
If you’re putting the Velcro on a garment, attach the scratchy hook side so it points away from your body. Otherwise, you can use either of the strips. Line the Velcro strip up on the fabric and push down on it firmly so it stays in place.
3-5. Flip the fabric over.
Since the adhesive is heat-activated, it adheres best when you iron it from behind. Turn your fabric over so the Velcro presses against your ironing board.
Never iron the front side of the Velcro since you could damage it.
3-6. Iron the back of the strip for 90 seconds.
Press your iron firmly against the fabric, and rub it back and forth to apply heat. Lift up the iron every few seconds so you don’t burn or damage your fabric. After about 90 seconds, let the fabric cool down.
If you’re attaching Velcro to delicate fabric, lay a press cloth over the actual fabric for an additional layer of protection.
3-7. Try lifting an edge to see if the Velcro stays secure.
Since all steam irons are different, you may not have fully secured the Velcro on the first pass. Pick at an edge with your finger to see if it moves. If the edge stays in place, then you’re finished! If it peels back, go over it with your iron before checking again.
Wait 24 hours after attaching the Velcro to wash or dry your fabric again. When you do, close the fastener so lint doesn’t get caught in it.
Tips
Keep the Velcro pieces fastened together whenever you wash the fabric so lint and other laundry doesn’t get caught in it.[23]
X
Research source
If your Velcro isn’t as sticky as before, try cleaning the hook side with a stiff-bristled brush.
Warnings
Adhesive Velcro strips aren’t as effective on fabrics, dashboards, or flexible vinyl. It may also come undone if they’re left in direct sunlight.[24]

After cleaning off any dust or residue, dry the surfaces completely with a clean cloth.\\nRough up a smooth surface with fine-grit sandpaper for an extra secure hold.\\n1-2. Peel the backing off of one strip.\\nThe Velcro’s hook side and loop side will each have their own adhesive backing. Peel the protective sheet off the strip to expose the adhesive underneath. Once you take the backing off, be careful not to touch the sticky sides, or else they might not adhere very well.\\n1-3. Press the first strip onto your item.\\nYou can use the hook or loop strip on either surface, so it doesn’t matter which one you use right now. Line the strip up with where you want to place it and push it firmly against the surface. Press down on the strip with your palm to make sure it’s flat.\\nAdhesive strips don’t work well on fabrics, vehicle dashboards, or flexible vinyl. They may also come loose if they’re left in direct sunlight.\\n1-4. Place the second strip on the second object.\\nPeel off the adhesive from the other strip and position it on the second item. Press the strip down firmly so it makes good contact with the material.\\n1-5. Wait 24 hours for the strongest adhesion.\\nWhile you can attach the Velcro strips to one another right away, it won’t quite hold at full strength. If you’re worried about the adhesive coming undone, then give it at least a day before putting the strips together.\\nAdhesive Velcro strips won’t stick as well if you peel them off and try reusing them.\\n2. Sew-On Strips\\n2-1. Cut the Velcro strip to the size you need.\\nVelcro strips work perfectly to secure fabrics without using a button or zipper. Since sew-on Velcro comes in a roll, measure the area of the fabric where you want to attach the strip. Use a pair of scissors to cut the strip to size.\\nYou can buy sew-on Velcro strips online or from big box stores and craft stores.\\n2-2. Put the hook strip on the side of the garment facing away from your skin.\\nThe hook strip is the scratchy side of the Velcro that holds onto the loop, or soft, side. Since it’s easier to pull the loop strip off of the hooks, set the hook strip on the garment so it points away from your body.\\nIf you’re not attaching the Velcro to clothing, then it doesn’t matter which strip you use.\\n2-3. Sew around the edges of the strip.\\nYou can either sew by hand or use a sewing machine to attach the Velcro. Go around each edge of the strip with your needle and thread so the Velcro doesn’t lift up off of the fabric. Be sure you backstitch the seam to make it more secure.\\nTry using the same color thread as the Velcro so it blends in.\\nYou can also sew an X through the center of the Velcro to keep it flat against the fabric.\\n2-4. Attach the other strip of Velcro to the second piece of fabric.\\nPosition the second strip on your fabric so it lines up with the first piece when you fasten them together. Use your sewing machine or sew by hand to secure the edges of the strip. Backstitch the Velcro so it’s less likely to tear off after using it repeatedly.\\nYou can wash and dry the fabric immediately after you sew the Velcro to it.\\n3. Iron-On Strips\\n3-1. Wash and dry the fabric.\\nThe adhesive on the back of your Velcro strip won’t stick very well if there’s dirt or residue on the fabric, so toss the garment in with your regular laundry. Make sure the fabric feels completely dry before you start, or the strip could come undone.\\n3-2. Heat up a steam iron to the highest heat setting.\\nFill up your iron with water and turn on the steam setting. Set your iron to the highest heat and let it warm up completely before you start working.\\nMake sure you use an ironing board and keep the oven in a heat-safe place so it doesn’t burn anything.\\n3-3. Peel the backing off of the Velcro strip.\\nThe iron-on Velcro has a protective backing on both the hook and loop pieces. Only remove the backing off of 1 piece at a time so it’s easier to work with. Once you remove the backing, don’t touch the exposed adhesive or it might not stick against the fabric well.\\n3-4. Press the adhesive strip onto the piece of fabric.\\nIf you’re putting the Velcro on a garment, attach the scratchy hook side so it points away from your body. Otherwise, you can use either of the strips. Line the Velcro strip up on the fabric and push down on it firmly so it stays in place.\\n3-5. Flip the fabric over.\\nSince the adhesive is heat-activated, it adheres best when you iron it from behind. Turn your fabric over so the Velcro presses against your ironing board.\\nNever iron the front side of the Velcro since you could damage it.\\n3-6. Iron the back of the strip for 90 seconds.\\nPress your iron firmly against the fabric, and rub it back and forth to apply heat. Lift up the iron every few seconds so you don’t burn or damage your fabric. After about 90 seconds, let the fabric cool down.\\nIf you’re attaching Velcro to delicate fabric, lay a press cloth over the actual fabric for an additional layer of protection.\\n3-7. Try lifting an edge to see if the Velcro stays secure.\\nSince all steam irons are different, you may not have fully secured the Velcro on the first pass. Pick at an edge with your finger to see if it moves. If the edge stays in place, then you’re finished! If it peels back, go over it with your iron before checking again.\\nWait 24 hours after attaching the Velcro to wash or dry your fabric again.

2,120 | How to Apply Vicks VapoRub | 1. Applying VapoRub as a Cough Suppressant
1-1. Rub a dollop of VapoRub in the palms of your hands.
Scoop a dime-sized portion of VapoRub into one of your hands. Then, rub both of your hands together to spread it over your palms.
Rubbing your hands together first will warm up the VapoRub and make it more pleasant to apply.
1-2. Apply the VapoRub to your chest and neck.
Massage the VapoRub deep into your skin, covering the entire area. Continue rubbing the VapoRub until there’s a thin layer over your skin.
1-3. Keep the clothing around your neck and chest loose.
Keeping your clothes loose will allow the vapors to better reach your nose and mouth. This can enhance the effects of the cream and will help it work faster.
1-4. Reapply the VapoRub up to 3 times a day.
As the VapoRub gets rubbed off throughout the day you can reapply it. To avoid skin irritation, spread applications several hours apart. You shouldn't apply it to your neck and chest more than 3 times a day.
VapoRub should never be used on children younger than 2 years of age.
Stop using VapoRub if your skin becomes irritated.
See a doctor if your symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks.
1-5. Don’t apply VapoRub under your nose.
VapoRub contains a chemical called camphor that can be toxic if absorbed through your mucous membranes or if ingested. While commonly put under the nose, VapoRub should never be applied in this way.
2. Using VapoRub for Muscle and Joint Soreness
2-1. Rub a layer of VapoRub into the palm of your hands.
Scoop up a coin-sized dollop of VapoRub into your hand and then rub your hands together. Spread an even layer of the product onto your palms.
Rubbing your hands together will warm up the VapoRub.
2-2. Rub your hands over the sore muscle.
Take notice of any soreness you have and identify the exact muscle or joint that’s painful. VapoRub’s heating sensation may relieve the pain. Rub the VapoRub deeply into your skin until you’ve covered the entire muscle or joint.
2-3. Repeat the application process 3-4 times a day.
As the VapoRub gets rubbed away from your clothing or evaporates, reapply the cream to the sore muscle. Spread applications over several hours and don't exceed 3-4 applications per day or you may cause skin irritation.
If you notice a rash or skin irritation, stop using the VapoRub immediately.
Tips
Vicks VapoRub does not work as a nasal decongestant. The strong menthol scent tricks the brain into thinking that your nose isn’t clogged.[12]

2,121 | How to Apply Vinyl Stickers | 1. Prepping the Surface
1-1. Check that your desired sticker location is around 55 °F (13 °C).
Use a room-specific thermometer to check how warm or cold your car, window, or other sticker surface is on an average day. Ideally, you don’t want the environment to be too hot or too cold, or the vinyl sticker might not adhere properly. While your space doesn’t have to be this exact temperature, try to keep it in a cool area.
If your garage or home gets especially cold or hot for extended amounts of time, you might want to consider placing your sticker elsewhere.
1-2. Wipe and dry off the area where you want to place your sticker.
Take a baby wipe or water-soaked towel and clear away any dust, wax, and debris from the surface of your car, window, or other transparent areas. Try to get the area as smooth and clean as possible, so no dust or grime adheres to your vinyl sticker later on. If the area is especially dirty, add a pea-sized amount of delicate soap to your damp towel to get the surface squeaky clean.
If your desired sticker area already looks clean, just give it a quick wipe down.
Try and use soap that has “delicate” listed on the label.
1-3. Spray the surface with soapy water to adjust your sticker later on.
Create a sudsy water mixture by mixing a pea-sized amount of gentle soap into a spray bottle filled with warm water. Once you’ve mixed the soap into the spray bottle, spritz the solution over the desired sticker surface.
You only need a tiny amount of soap to make the water sudsy.
If you’re applying the vinyl sticker “dry,” then you don’t need to worry about spraying down the area at all.
2. Securing the Sticker
2-1. Peel away the backing tape on the sticker.
Use your thumb and pointer finger to pry the back paper from the surface of the sticker. As you peel away the paper, pinch the vertical edges of the sticker with your opposite hand. Once the back paper is completely removed, hold the sticker with the thumb and pointer finger of each hand.
Avoid touching or holding the back surface of the vinyl sticker, as your fingerprints will make the sticker look smudged and sloppy.
It’s tricky to arrange a sticker when you’re holding it by the center portion.
2-2. Pinch the vertical edges of the vinyl sticker as you place it down.
Continue holding the sticker securely as you place it on a wet or dry surface. Try applying the center of the sticker first, then press the outer edges of the vinyl sticker into place. Aim to do this in a fluid motion to prevent any air bubbles from forming.
If you’re applying your sticker to a dry surface, make sure that it’s positioned and angled properly. Once the vinyl is in place, you won’t be able to adjust it easily.
If you’re applying your sticker to a wet surface, use your fingers to push and adjust the edges of the vinyl to your desired position.
2-3. Press out any air bubbles with a squeegee or credit card.
Grab a flat, bendy item and press it in an even line along the surface of the sticker. Move your squeegee, credit card, or the other tool consistently, applying an even amount of pressure as you go from edge to edge. Focus on areas that have air bubbles, so the sticker looks smooth.
2-4. Heat curved vinyl stickers with a blow dryer to make them stick.
Don’t be discouraged if your sticker isn’t adhering properly to a curved edge or surface, like a car bumper. Turn a hairdryer or heat gun to a low setting, and run the device several inches or centimeters above the surface of the sticker. Beneath the added heat, use your squeegee, credit card, or the other flat tool to help the sticker apply correctly to the curved edge.
Don’t use a high heat setting for this—you’re only looking to stretch and expand the vinyl, not melt it.
2-5. Peel away the final layer of transfer tape.
Use your thumb and pointer finger to pinch and remove the outer layer of the sticker, which looks like a strip of opaque masking tape. Pull away at the transfer paper until you’ve completely removed it from the sticker.
Don’t worry if your vinyl sticker comes off with the transfer paper. Use your squeegee, credit card, or the other flat tool to press the sticker back onto the surface.
Tips
If you placed a vinyl sticker onto a vehicle using “wet” application, try waiting 1 day before driving around with your new decoration. This waiting period helps the vinyl sticker adhere to the car or truck.[13]

2,122 | How to Apply Vinyl Wrap | 1. Preparing Your Vinyl Wrap Installation
1-1. Purchase cast vinyl for more flexibility in your wrap.
The two main types of vinyl are calendared and cast. Calendared vinyl is thicker but stickier, while cast vinyl is more flexible and easier to manipulate around curves and edges.
Choose vinyl with built-in air release channels for a smooth installation.
Use vinyl wrap on smooth substrates like glass, corrugated plastic, and painted aluminum. Avoid using vinyl on wooden surfaces.
Purchase roughly 15–20 feet (4.6–6.1 m) more vinyl than you think you’ll need in case you mess up any of the panels.
Avoid using chrome is this is your first time applying vinyl wrap. Chrome is the most expensive and most difficult to apply, especially for beginners.
Printed and gloss covers have a longer lifespan and offer better protection than matte vinyl.
1-2. Sweep and mop the area where you intend to install the wrap.
Vinyl wraps attract dust, so clean the area thoroughly before you introduce the vinyl wrap. Sweep, mop, and dust the area to keep dirt particles from sticking to it.
Make sure you have enough room to comfortably unroll the vinyl wrap to the appropriate length.
1-3. Use cleaning solution and a lint-free cloth to clean the surface you’re wrapping.
Spray a cleaning solution directly onto the surface you’re wrapping, and use a lint-free cloth to buff the surface. Move the cloth in counter-clockwise circles until the surface is completely dry. Dirt and moisture will keep the adhesive from sticking properly.
Rapid Tac is an excellent solution for cleaning surfaces before wrapping them.
Try not to place the vinyl film on the floor, because it will attract dirt particles. These dirt particles will leave scratches once you start to apply it.
If you are wrapping a truck or car, take it through a car wash 24 hours ahead of time so it can dry overnight. Do not use waxes or protectants, as they could interfere with the adhesive.
1-4. Measure the length of the surface you’re wrapping.
Stick a piece of painter’s tape on the edge of the surface you are wrapping, with at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) hanging off the edge. Leave the tape on the roll and unroll it to the other side of the surface. Rip the tape off of the roll with at least 3 centimetres (1.2 in) hanging off both sides.
Keep the tape flat against the surface so that it accounts for edges, contours, and dips. If your surface is not flat (such as in a car or truck), the tape will allow you to measure the appropriate amount of vinyl needed to cover the contours.
If you are wrapping a car, truck, or anything that has multiple divided panels, you will need to measure and wrap each panel separately.
1-5. Use painter’s tape to measure the width of the surface.
Repeat the same process as before, but this time, measure the width. Use a roll of painter’s tape and place it roughly in the center on the long edge of the surface. Leaving at least 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) hanging off of each side, roll the tape directly across the length-wise tape and stick it down.
The two lines of tape will cross roughly in the middle.
1-6. Unroll the vinyl while keeping it off the ground.
Remove the top piece of tape you stuck on the surface, and line up 1 end of the tape with the end of the unrolled vinyl. Stretch the tape across the back of the vinyl and mark the edge of where it reaches. Use an X-Acto knife to cut at that spot in a straight line, all the way down the length of the vinyl.
Keep the cut as straight as you can. Most vinyl wraps have lines built in for reference.
Have a friend help you if possible. Have them pull out the end of the vinyl while you hold the roll, then place the end of the tape on the end of the vinyl they’re holding. This will allow you to unroll the vinyl without laying it on the ground, which could damage the vinyl.
2. Laying Vinyl Wrap Smoothly
2-1. Drape the cut piece of vinyl over the surface you’re wrapping.
Remove the liner and place the piece of vinyl you just cut roughly in the center of the area you’re wrapping. Make sure the surface is completely covered with no edges showing.
You’ll be removing and repositioning the vinyl, so it doesn’t have to be placed perfectly. Just make sure you have enough vinyl to cover the surface you’re wrapping.
The vinyl will stick to the surface, but it won’t be permanent until you apply heat to seal it. You can place, replace, and stretch the vinyl as necessary until you seal it down.
2-2. Pull both sides of the vinyl away from each other to create tension.
Hold both ends of the vinyl and lift directly up, pulling it off of the surface. Stretch the sides of the vinyl away from each other to create enough tension to remove most of the wrinkles from the middle, then gently lay it down on the surface you’re wrapping.
This process works best with another person. Both people hold 2 corners on each end of the vinyl and pull all 4 corners away from each other at the same time.
At least 2 people are necessary for large surfaces.
2-3. Run a squeegee over the applied film to remove wrinkles and bubbles.
Hold the squeegee at a roughly 45-degree angle. Start in the middle and move the squeegee outward toward the edges to push out any air bubbles or fingers in the vinyl. If the surface you’re wrapping is curved, move the squeegee downward over the curves an arc shape for a smoother application.
Make sure your squeegee has a hard side and a felt side. The hard side can damage the vinyl and should be used only for stuffing it down into crevices or hard-to-reach areas.
Use the hard side of your squeegee to lay the vinyl into crevices. Use a heat gun to apply heat before doing so to get into the tougher-to-reach areas.
Stretch the vinyl to fit over curves or reposition it as necessary. Lift the vinyl and apply heat from a heat gun to make the vinyl more malleable. This makes it easier to mold around curves and edges.
2-4. Lift the vinyl and apply heat to remove imperfections.
If you come across imperfections in the vinyl such as wrinkles, start at the outside edge and lift the vinyl up to un-stick the area. Holding the vinyl up and away from the surface, apply heat with a heat gun until the imperfections disappear. Keep the vinyl taut by pulling it on both ends, then replace the smoothed-out vinyl on the surface.
Be careful not to lift up on the places where the vinyl is already smoothed out.
Simply lift the vinyl without pulling it. If you pull on the vinyl while heating it, it will stretch.
2-5. Push air bubbles in from the outside edge with a squeegee.
Use your squeegee to push the air from the edges of the bubble in toward the center. Then, use your finger to push down on the center of the bubble.
The air will be pushed out through the air-release channels and will smooth out without having to lift and replace the entire vinyl sheet.
If you run into a bubble that is too big, use the squeegee to divide it into several smaller bubbles first. This will allow the air to escape more easily.
3. Completing Your Wrapping Job
3-1. Heat the vinyl with a heat gun before wrapping the edges.
Soften the film with a heat gun while pulling down on it to remove wrinkles. Pull the vinyl taut against the edge with a good amount of force to keep it as smooth as possible. Then, stretch it under the edge while holding it taut. Use a squeegee to stick it down about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the inside edge, then use a blade to trim the excess vinyl.
Using a squeegee to firmly stick the edge down activates the adhesive. Be sure it’s placed properly before solidifying it with the squeegee.
Clean the inside surface with isopropyl alcohol, and make sure it’s completely dry before sticking it down. You only get one shot to stick it down once the adhesive is activated, and water and dirt will keep it from sticking.
3-2. Trim the edges with a sharp blade to remove excess vinyl wrap.
After laying and securing your vinyl, use an X-Acto knife to trim down extra vinyl. Go slowly and cut as evenly as you can. This process takes time, patience, and a steady hand, and may take as long as it takes to wrap your surface.
Use a new blade to ensure the blade is sharp enough to cut the vinyl without ripping it.
The vinyl wrap will shrink once you heat at the end, so don’t cut too much. Leave roughly 1–2 centimetres (10–20 mm). Heat the vinyl before you trim it to minimize the shrinkage.
3-3. Cut the vinyl around handles and knobs.
For handles, knobs, or other parts of the surface that jut out, heat the area with a heat gun to expand the vinyl. Use an X-Acto knife to cut along the outside of the extruding part, leaving roughly 1–2 millimetres (0.10–0.20 cm) of vinyl hanging over the edge. Use the plastic edge of the squeegee to push the edges down around the area.
Take your time, and use a new blade to make straight, even cuts. Rough or torn edges look messy.
3-4. Post-heat the vinyl with a heat gun to secure it.
Once everything is set how you want it, use your heat gun to get the vinyl pretty hot. Move your heat gun in a sweeping motion in 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) sections, making sure the vinyl is secured firmly in any recesses or channels. Allow your wrap to set for 24 hours after post-heating it.
Only do this once everything is set exactly how you want it because you cannot go back and change it once it’s set.
This fully activates the adhesive on the vinyl to set it firmly in place.
A good rule of thumb is to heat the vinyl to roughly 200–250 °F (93–121 °C), but every vinyl is different. Check the recommendations of the vinyl manufacturer to be safe.
Tips
Never lay vinyl while the surface is still wet.[21]

2,123 | How to Apply Vinyl to Curved Surfaces | 1. Preparing the Surface and Vinyl
1-1. Evaluate the surface where the vinyl will be attached.
Severely or irregularly curved surfaces will require greater care while applying the vinyl. Surfaces that are dirty may negatively impact the vinyl’s adhesive. Visualize the placement of your vinyl so you have a clear idea where it will go.
1-2. Clean and mark the surface.
If the surface is dirty, clean it with a suitable cleaning agent. For most surfaces, soap and warm water or an ammonia based cleaner, like most window cleaners, work well. Wipe the surface completely dry after cleaning, then mark the placement of your design with painter’s tape.
You can substitute another weak adhesive tape, like masking tape, for painter’s tape. Weak adhesive tape will be easier to remove later and isn’t likely to leave behind an adhesive film.
For a more precise outline, use a grease pencil to draw the placement of your design on the surface. Some surfaces may react negatively to grease pencils. Test pencils on an out of sight area first.
1-3. Trim excess material from the vinyl.
In some cases, you may need to use a utility knife to cut the vinyl so only the design remains on the adhesive backing. Then cut excess vinyl backing from the design with scissors. Leave a small border of adhesive backing around the design.
If you’re applying vinyl lettering to an item, don’t forget to cut out the empty spaces, like the middle parts of the letters A and O.
It may be difficult to remove small pieces of vinyl from designs. In these situations, try to lift unneeded pieces of vinyl from their backing with the edge or tip of your utility knife.
1-4. Apply transfer tape to the vinyl.
Cut a strip of transfer tape or contact paper so it is the same size as the vinyl backing. Peel the adhesive backing from the tape or paper. Starting from one side of the design, use your fingers to apply the tape or paper to the vinyl and its backing a little bit at a time.
Your tape or paper doesn’t have to be attached to the vinyl and its backing perfectly. Wrinkles and bubbles in the tape or paper shouldn’t transfer to the vinyl design.
To ensure the tape or paper is firmly attached to the vinyl, press the paper to the vinyl design with your nail using moderate force. You can similarly use a rigid edge to do this, like a credit card.
2. Applying the Vinyl
2-1. Secure the vinyl to the surface with tape.
Position your design in place on the surface. When it is in place, use a piece of painter’s tape to attach the vinyl to the surface from top to bottom across its middle. The edges of your design will likely stick out from the curved surface to the left and right of the tape.
This step is not absolutely necessary, but the tape will hold the vinyl in place while you apply it, preventing it from being attached unevenly or on an angle.
2-2. Peel free and cut away the adhesive backing.
Remove the vinyl backing from one side of the design until you reach the tape. Cut away the unattached backing. Press the vinyl design into place on the surface. Remove the tape and repeat the process on the opposite side.
When pressing your vinyl into place, do so a little bit at a time. Start from the edge closest to the tape and work your way to the outside of the design. This will prevent bubbling and wrinkles.
It may help to hold the vinyl lightly taut as you press it onto the surface. This can stretch the vinyl so it better covers severe curves in the surface.
2-3. Remove bubbles and wrinkles with your fingernail or a rigid edged item.
Even careful applications of vinyl sometimes have wrinkles or air bubbles. Use your nail or a rigid edged tool, like a credit card, to push wrinkles and bubbles out of the edges of the design.
Some bubbles may resist your efforts at removal. In these situations, you may have to remove and reapply the vinyl, or you could pop the bubble with a pin and try to smooth it.
2-4. Slit severe wrinkles to redistribute the vinyl.
Severe wrinkles won’t likely be affected by the nail/credit card technique. To correct this problem, make a small slit in the wrinkled vinyl. Pull the vinyl to remove the wrinkle and reattach it so the excess material overlaps the surrounding vinyl.
While overlapping vinyl may be obvious when closely inspected, it’ll likely be less obvious than the severe wrinkling.
3. Improving and Protecting Vinyl Applications
3-1. Prioritize small pieces of vinyl for easier installation.
Generally, smaller designs attach most easily to surfaces. In some cases, you may be able to cut up larger designs into smaller pieces. These pieces can then be attached on the surface one at a time to complete the larger design.
3-2. Heat vinyl to loosen its glue and reposition it when necessary.
This technique is especially useful for stubborn wrinkling or bubbling around the edges of your design. Lightly heat the vinyl with a hairdryer or heat gun. Peel up the vinyl and pull it lightly to remove wrinkles, then press it back into place.
Some vinyl may be difficult to peel away even when heated. Use the tip or edge of your utility knife to carefully lift the design if necessary. Be careful not to damage the surface the vinyl is attached to.
3-3. Wash items with vinyl by hand.
The heat and water pressure of dishwashers may harm vinyl designs and cause them to peel. Prevent this from happening by washing all items with vinyl with mild soap and warm water. Hand dry items with a dishtowel to prevent streaking before putting them away.
Warnings
Always use tools, like utility knives and scissors, with care. Improper usage could cause injury, damage to your design, and/or damage to the surface to which the vinyl is being applied.

2,124 | How to Apply Vitamin C Serum for Facial Skin Care | 1. Using the Serum Effectively
1-1. Do a patch test to check for an allergic reaction.
Rub 1 drop of the vitamin C serum onto a small patch of your inner wrist. Since the skin is sensitive here, you're more likely to notice a reaction to the vitamin C. Wait 24 hours to see if your skin is irritated or breaks out in a rash. If it doesn't, you can use vitamin C on your face.
If you do have a reaction to the vitamin C, don't use it as part of your daily skincare routine and mention it to your doctor or dermatologist.
If you also use AHAs and BHAs, such as glycolic, salicylic, or lactic acids, wait a few minutes before applying the vitamin C serum or you'll risk irritating your skin.
1-2. Plan on using the serum in the morning or before bed.
Because your skin can only absorb so much vitamin C in a day, you only need to apply it once a day. Decide if you'd like to make it part of your morning skincare routine and remember to apply sunscreen after using the serum. If you prefer, apply the serum in the evening before you apply your nighttime moisturizer.
1-3. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
Splash cool water over your face and rub a coin-sized amount of cleanser evenly across your face. Use your fingertips to gently massage the cleanser into your skin for about 30 seconds. Then, use water to rinse the cleanser off of your face.
Use a cleanser that's designed for your skin type. For example, if you have sensitive skin, use a fragrance-free cleanser that doesn't contain alcohol.
You can find an exfoliating cleansing scrum online here.
1-4. Dry your skin and pat toner across your face.
Blot your face dry with a clean cloth and then soak a cotton ball in facial toner. Brush the cotton ball evenly across your face, but avoid getting toner around your eyes. Then, let the toner dry before you apply the vitamin C serum.
If you have oily skin and use a toner that contains benzoyl peroxide, wait at least 5 minutes before using the serum. Mixing the benzoyl peroxide with vitamin C could prevent the serum from working effectively.
1-5. Rub 2 to 3 drops of serum onto your face.
Use the dropper in the bottle of serum to squeeze 2 to 3 drops of vitamin C serum into an open palm. Then, rub the fingers of your other hand into the oil and dab some of it onto your cheeks and forehead. Massage the oil evenly across the rest of your face.
You can find Vitamin C serum online for purchase here and here.
1-6. Wait 5 to 10 minutes before applying moisturizer.
Give the vitamin C serum a chance to soak into your skin before you put another skincare product on. Once your skin feels like it's absorbed the serum, gently massage moisturizer across your face.
If you're doing the facial in the morning, consider using a daytime moisturizer that contains SPF to protect your skin.
2. Treating Skin Issues with Vitamin C Serum
2-1. Apply vitamin C with zinc to reduce inflammation that causes acne.
Use vitamin C serum that also contains zinc once a day to fight bacteria that causes some types of acne. Since vitamin C also has an anti-inflammatory effect, it can soothe your irritated skin.
For severe facial acne, talk with your dermatologist about microneedling with vitamin C.
2-2. Protect your skin from sun damage by applying vitamin C and E serum.
If you'd like to protect your skin from damaging UV rays, always put sunscreen on your face before going out. Once you're back inside for the day, wash your face and apply vitamin C serum that also contains vitamin E.
The vitamins help your skin repair itself from sun exposure, which is why you should apply it after being exposed to UV rays.
2-3. Add the serum as part of a skincare anti-aging routine.
You've probably seen anti-aging skincare products that claim to increase collagen. Researchers found that applying vitamin C once a day can actually increase collagen production, a protein which helps your skin repair itself and minimalize wrinkles.
You'll need to use the vitamin C for at least a few months before you can expect to see an improvement in your skin's appearance.
2-4. Use vitamin C serum to reduce hyperpigmentation.
Sun exposure or pregnancy can cause noticeable dark patches to appear on your face. Apply vitamin C serum once a day to reduce the pigment that causes the dark patches to appear.
Keep in mind that you'll need to use the serum for at least 3 or 4 months before you might notice an improvement.
Tips
Purchase a high-quality vitamin C serum from beauty supply stores, natural markets, or online. You could also make your own at home!
Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for applying the serum.
Store your bottle of serum out of direct sunlight. If you notice that the serum has turned brown, discard it and buy a new bottle that hasn't expired.
Warnings
Vitamin C serum can make your skin dry, irritated, or flaky, especially if you have sensitive skin. Consider using a serum with a lower concentration of vitamin C or apply a smaller amount of serum.
If you develop a rash or hives, stop using the vitamin C serum. You may want to let your doctor or dermatologist know that you suspect an allergy.

2,125 | How to Apply Voltaren Gel | 1. Applying the Gel
1-1. Wash your hands before and after applying the gel.
Use soap and water to wash your hands before applying the gel to the desired area. Once you’ve rubbed the gel into your skin, wash your hands again to get the excess gel off.
If you’re applying the gel to your hands, you don’t need to wash them off after applying Voltaren, but do make sure your hands are dry before putting the gel on.
1-2. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Your doctor should have given you specific instructions for applying the gel, especially when it comes to the dosage amount. If your doctor gave you individualized instructions for how to apply the gel, follow their directions to make sure you're using the gel safely.
If your doctor didn’t give you specific instructions, read the label on the Voltaren Gel’s container for additional directions.
Don’t change your dosage without talking to your doctor.
1-3. Use the dosing card to measure the correct dose of gel.
Voltaren Gel comes with a dosing card to help you apply the correct amount. Use the rectangular area to measure out the dosage to the 2 g (0.071 oz) or 4 g (0.14 oz) line. You’ll squeeze out the gel inside the rectangular area, being careful to stick to the right measurements.
If you’re applying the gel to your upper extremities (elbow, wrist, or hand), then you’ll apply 2 g (0.071 oz).
If you’re applying the gel to your lower extremities (knee, ankle, or foot), apply 4 g (0.14 oz).
Make sure your skin is clean and dry before applying the gel to the affected area.
Use the dosing card each time you apply the gel.
1-4. Rub the gel over the affected area gently.
Once you’ve applied the right amount, start rubbing the gel into your skin. Spread it out so that the gel is covering the entire area that’s in pain.
The gel should be rubbed into clean, dry skin.
Avoid getting the gel in your eyes, nose, or mouth.
1-5. Wait at least 10 minutes before putting clothing or gloves over the area.
This is to allow the gel to properly soak and dry into the skin. If you’re applying the gel to a part of your body that will be covered up by clothing, such as your knee or ankle, wait at least 10 minutes before getting dressed.
Avoid putting a bandage over the gel application as well.
1-6. Let the gel application sit for at least 1 hour before washing.
If you need to take a shower or bath, it’s important to apply the gel an hour before you need to wash. This lets it take full effect and not be washed off.
If the gel application is on your hands, wait an hour before washing the area on your hands.
2. Avoiding Dangers and Mistakes
2-1. Avoid using the gel more than 4 times a day on one area.
For your upper extremities, you shouldn’t use more than 8 g (0.28 oz) per day on the affected area. For lower extremities, you shouldn’t use more than 16 g (0.56 oz) per day.
For example, if you’re applying the gel to your wrist, you can apply 2 g (0.071 oz) of the gel to your wrist 4 times each day.
Don’t exceed 32 grams (1.1 oz) in one day.
2-2. Use your discretion if you miss a dose.
Try to apply the gel as soon as you remember that you missed a dose. However, if you missed a dose and it’s time for your next scheduled dose, don’t apply double the amount—just skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have additional questions about how to handle a missed dose.
2-3. Avoid applying Voltaren Gel to open wounds.
If you have any cuts, infections, burns, or rashes, you shouldn’t apply the gel to these areas as it can irritate them or make them worse. Voltaren Gel is for soothing joint pain and won’t heal any open wounds.
2-4. Refrain from using cosmetics or other skin care products on the area.
The Voltaren Gel won’t work as well when it’s mixed with other products or if makeup is covering it up. When you apply the gel to an area, keep that area clean of any other products.
Tips
Read all of the patient information, medication guides, and instruction sheets when you receive them.
Contact your doctor if you think you're experiencing an allergic reaction or side effects such as stomach pain, dizziness, itching, or a skin rash.
Call the Poison Help line if you think you've used too much Voltaren at 1-800-222-1222.
Warnings
Once you've applied Voltaren to your skin, don't expose the area to heat from a hot tub, heating pad, or sauna, and protect the area from direct sunlight just to be safe.
Be aware that using Voltaren can increase the risk of fatal heart attacks or strokes, as well as intestinal or stomach bleeding.
Don't use the gel if you're pregnant, as it may harm the baby in the last 3 months of pregnancy.
Don't give your Voltaren prescription to anyone else, even if they're experiencing the same symptoms as you.
Don't use Voltaren if you've had asthma or are severely allergic to aspirin, diclofenac, or another nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
Avoid drinking alcohol while using Voltaren to decrease your risk of stomach bleeding.

2,126 | How to Apply WD‐40 to Door Hinges | 1. Applying WD-40 to Home Door Hinges
1-1. Use the smart straw, if available.
Like any other aerosol spray, WD-40 distributes its contents as a kind of cone-shaped cloud. With the smart straw in place, however, you’ll be able to emit WD-40 in a thin precision stream. This is ideal for applying WD-40 to a door hinge.
The smart straw is a long red tube that, in its undeployed state, remains snug against the WD-40 canister.
If your WD-40 comes with a smart straw, snap it into place by pulling up on the gray base of the red tube. This base is located near the top of the WD-40 canister.
1-2. Hold the nozzle an inch (2 cm) from the hinge.
With the WD-40 smart straw in place, position the canister so that the end of the tube is about one inch (two centimeters) from the door hinge to which you wish to apply WD-40. If you’re using a WD-40 canister that doesn’t have a smart straw, identify the location of the actuator orifice (the place from which the WD-40 issues) and aim it toward the door hinge. The actuator orifice should be one inch (two centimeters) from the door hinge you wish to apply WD-40 to.
It can also help to tap the hinge pin up just slightly and spray the WD-40 in the gap on top of the hinge. This allows the spray to penetrate the inside of the hinge and the pin.
1-3. Spray the WD-40 in quick bursts.
Once you’ve positioned the smart straw or actuator orifice appropriately, you’re ready to apply the WD-40 to the door hinge. WD-40 canisters emit their contents quite quickly, so do not hold the actuator down for prolonged periods. Instead, press down on the actuator using your index finger, then release it quickly. WD-40 will leave the canister. Apply the WD-40 in quick bursts, moving from the top of the door hinge to the bottom.
1-4. Wipe away the excess WD-40.
Clean the door hinge off. Applying WD-40 to your door hinges will cause them to attract dust and turn black. After applying WD-40 to the door hinge, wipe it clean by dipping a microfiber cloth in some hot, soapy water. Wring it out, then wipe the door hinge with the cloth. To prevent rust, wipe the hinge down with a dry microfiber cloth.
You can also use a paper towel sprayed with all-purpose cleaner.
If you lifted up the hinge pin, remember to tap it back down when you finish spraying.
2. Applying WD-40 to Automobile Door Hinges
2-1. Locate the actuator orifice.
The actuator orifice is the hole from which WD-40 leaves the WD-40 canister. If you WD-40 canister is equipped with a smart straw (a long movable red tube), the actuator orifice will be a round yellow circle on the top of the canister’s actuator (the button you press down to utilize the WD-40). In other WD-40 canisters, however, the actuator orifice is a round black dot on the top of the canister’s actuator.
2-2. Aim the nozzle at the door hinge.
Point the WD-40’s actuator orifice toward your automobile’s door hinge. The actuator orifice should be about one inch (two centimeters) from the door hinge.
For a more precise spray, look at the area in the door jamb where the hinges are located. Close the door and take note of any area where metal contacts metal as the door moves. These are the areas you'll spray.
You should also spray the door latch mechanism.
2-3. Spray the WD-40 on the door hinge.
When you’re ready, place your index finger over the actuator. Squeeze the actuator in a series of quick bursts across the surface of the vehicle’s door hinge. You can move from left to right, or from right to left across the hinge.
If you have access to two door hinges, be sure to coat them both.
2-4. Open and close your door several times.
In order to adequately coat the internal portion of the hinge with WD-40, you’ll need to open and then close the door a few times. This ensures that it will lubricate the entire hinge mechanism. It can help to lubricate the hinge as you move the door back and forth.
3. Trying Alternatives to WD-40
3-1. Squirt 3-in-1 oil on the hinge.
Using 3-in-1 oil is a great way to help displace moisture and rust in your door hinges. Aim the oil at all the moving parts of the hinge and spray carefully, then open and close the door several times to work the oil in.
You can buy 3-in-1 oil at a hardware or home supply store.
3-2. Rub soap on the door hinge.
You can use either liquid soap or bar soap. If using liquid soap, squirt a bit onto a sponge, then wipe the sponge across the surface of the door hinge. If using bar soap, apply the bar of soap directly to the hinge, especially the joints around which the hinge turns.
3-3. Smear petroleum jelly over the hinge pin.
Dab a clean paper towel in a tub of petroleum jelly. Remove the hinge pin from the door by placing the pointed end of a nail at the bottom of the door hinge, then tapping the nail gently upward with a hammer. The hinge pin will come out the top of the hinge. Wipe the hinge pin with the paper towel, then slide it back into the hinge.
3-4. Coat the hinge pin with paraffin wax.
Light some paraffin candles. After an hour or so, remove the hinge pin on the squeaky hinge by placing the pointed end of a nail beneath the squeaky hinge, then tapping the nail gently upward with a hammer. Slide the hinge pin from the top of the hinge. Blow out the candle, then dip the hinge pin in the melted wax. After it’s well-covered in wax, slip it back into the hinge.
You can wear rubber gloves during this process if you don’t want to get wax on your hands.
Tips
White lithium grease is superior to WD-40 for lubricating both home and auto door hinges.[7]
X
Research source
WD-40 has over 2,000 uses.
Over time, hinges will wear out and become loose and noisy. At that point, it's best to replace your hinges by simply unscrewing and replacing one hinge at a time, rather than using WD-40.

Applying WD-40 to your door hinges will cause them to attract dust and turn black. After applying WD-40 to the door hinge, wipe it clean by dipping a microfiber cloth in some hot, soapy water. Wring it out, then wipe the door hinge with the cloth. To prevent rust, wipe the hinge down with a dry microfiber cloth.\\nYou can also use a paper towel sprayed with all-purpose cleaner.\\nIf you lifted up the hinge pin, remember to tap it back down when you finish spraying.\\n2. Applying WD-40 to Automobile Door Hinges\\n2-1. Locate the actuator orifice.\\nThe actuator orifice is the hole from which WD-40 leaves the WD-40 canister. If you WD-40 canister is equipped with a smart straw (a long movable red tube), the actuator orifice will be a round yellow circle on the top of the canister’s actuator (the button you press down to utilize the WD-40). In other WD-40 canisters, however, the actuator orifice is a round black dot on the top of the canister’s actuator.\\n2-2. Aim the nozzle at the door hinge.\\nPoint the WD-40’s actuator orifice toward your automobile’s door hinge. The actuator orifice should be about one inch (two centimeters) from the door hinge.\\nFor a more precise spray, look at the area in the door jamb where the hinges are located. Close the door and take note of any area where metal contacts metal as the door moves. These are the areas you'll spray.\\nYou should also spray the door latch mechanism.\\n2-3. Spray the WD-40 on the door hinge.\\nWhen you’re ready, place your index finger over the actuator. Squeeze the actuator in a series of quick bursts across the surface of the vehicle’s door hinge. You can move from left to right, or from right to left across the hinge.\\nIf you have access to two door hinges, be sure to coat them both.\\n2-4. Open and close your door several times.\\nIn order to adequately coat the internal portion of the hinge with WD-40, you’ll need to open and then close the door a few times. This ensures that it will lubricate the entire hinge mechanism. It can help to lubricate the hinge as you move the door back and forth.\\n3. Trying Alternatives to WD-40\\n3-1. Squirt 3-in-1 oil on the hinge.\\nUsing 3-in-1 oil is a great way to help displace moisture and rust in your door hinges. Aim the oil at all the moving parts of the hinge and spray carefully, then open and close the door several times to work the oil in.\\nYou can buy 3-in-1 oil at a hardware or home supply store.\\n3-2. Rub soap on the door hinge.\\nYou can use either liquid soap or bar soap. If using liquid soap, squirt a bit onto a sponge, then wipe the sponge across the surface of the door hinge. If using bar soap, apply the bar of soap directly to the hinge, especially the joints around which the hinge turns.\\n3-3. Smear petroleum jelly over the hinge pin.\\nDab a clean paper towel in a tub of petroleum jelly. Remove the hinge pin from the door by placing the pointed end of a nail at the bottom of the door hinge, then tapping the nail gently upward with a hammer. The hinge pin will come out the top of the hinge. Wipe the hinge pin with the paper towel, then slide it back into the hinge.\\n3-4. Coat the hinge pin with paraffin wax.\\nLight some paraffin candles. After an hour or so, remove the hinge pin on the squeaky hinge by placing the pointed end of a nail beneath the squeaky hinge, then tapping the nail gently upward with a hammer. Slide the hinge pin from the top of the hinge. Blow out the candle, then dip the hinge pin in the melted wax. After it’s well-covered in wax, slip it back into the hinge.\\nYou can wear rubber gloves during this process if you don’t want to get wax on your hands.\\nTips\\nWhite lithium grease is superior to WD-40 for lubricating both home and auto door hinges.[7]\\nX\\nResearch source\\nWD-40 has over 2,000 uses.\\nOver time, hinges will wear out and become loose and noisy. At that point, it's best to replace your hinges by simply unscrewing and replacing one hinge at a time, rather than using WD-40.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Got a squeaky door?

2,127 | How to Apply Wall Decals | 1. Preparing for Application
1-1. Select a space.
Find the perfect space for the new decal. Look for any bare walls that could use some decoration or an old space that needs a fresh look. Take notes on details of the space that you are planning on using.
Take measurements of the space.
Take notes of existing decorations and colors.
Think of any possible layouts for a decal.
1-2. Find your decal.
Locate a decal that will be the best fit for your space. Use your measurements and notes about your space to help your selection.
Try to find colors that work well together.
Find the right size decal for the space.
Think about how the decals shape and design will make the space feel.
Select a decal that you will enjoy!
1-3. Clean the surface.
Removing any dirt or oil from the surface is very important. Making a clean surface will allow the decal to adhere properly. Leaving dirt or oil behind will cause the decal to adhere to them, rather than the wall.
Remove dirt and oil for best application.
Remove dirt with a damp sponge.
Use a small amount of soap to remove oil.
Be sure the wall is dry before placing the decal.
1-4. Adjust the placement.
Double check the decal is going to look great in the place you have selected. Removing a decal is possible, but most will not be reusable. Ensure that you are satisfied with where you are considering placing the decal to avoid ruining it.
Leave the paper backing on and temporarily tape the decal to the wall.
Step back and examine how the decal fits the space.
Make any adjustments until you are happy with how it looks.
1-5. Finalize the placement.
Get your ruler and a pencil ready. Use your initial placement of the decal to help you as you draw a light guideline. This guideline will show you exactly where to place the decal when you apply it.
Hold your level flat against the wall.
Move the levels ends up or down, left or right, until the air bubble is centered.
Draw a light line on the wall, along the edge of the level, to make your guideline.
2. Applying the Decal
2-1. Place the decal.
Placing the decal requires accuracy and focus. Stick the decal as close as you can to the guideline you created for it.
Remove the covering that protects the adhesive side of the decal.
Line up the decal with your guideline.
Carefully stick the decal to the area you have selected.
Work slowly and take your time to ensure accuracy.
2-2. Finalize the application.
Using a squeegee, smooth the surface and remove any air bubbles that may be present. Leaving air bubbles can cause an uneven finish and improper adherence to a surface.
Work from the middle and move outwards.
Always push air bubbles outwards towards an edge to remove them.
Aim for as smooth a surface as you can.
2-3. Remove the paper backing.
Paper backing protects the face of your decal, but now it's time to unveil your new decal. Removing the paper backing will let you see the final and full effect of the decal on your space.
Peel paper backing from decal slowly and carefully.
Dampen the paper with water if you are having trouble removing it.
If the decal pulls off with the paper backing, stop, and carefully reapply that area.
Tips
You can use a credit card or something similar if you don't have a rubber squeegee.
Make sure your surface is totally dry and clean before applying the decal.
Many decals are easily removable and should simply peel off.

2,128 | How to Apply Waterlox | 1. Choosing the Correct Finish
1-1. Pick Waterlox Original Sealer/Finish for a basecoat and a medium sheen.
The Waterlox Original Sealer should be used as a basecoat for every stain job you do. After, if you want a medium semi-gloss sheen, you can add more coats of this finish to achieve the desired effect.
This produces a 75º gloss level immediately after finishing, which will fade to a 50-55º gloss level over the first few months after application. The gloss level is the measurement of paint sheen (how shiny/glossy the paint will be) once it’s dried.
1-2. Choose Waterlox Original Satin Finish for a lower sheen finish.
This finish should be used only as a last topcoat of stain, on top of several basecoats of the Waterlox Original Sealer/Finish. It will provide a lower gloss level compared to the other finishes available.
This finish produces a 20-25º gloss level.
1-3. Try Waterlox Original High Gloss Finish for a more glossy finish.
Apply this finish as a final topcoat over several coats of Waterlox Original Sealer/Finish. This will give your wood surface a shiny, high-gloss look.
This product produces an 85º gloss level with a shiny appearance.
2. Setting Up
2-1. Buy enough Waterlox to get the job done.
1 US gal (3.8 L) of Waterlox will cover 500 sq ft per coat. 1 qt (0.95 L) will cover 125 sq ft per coat. You can use Waterlox’s online “Purchase Assistant” to help you determine how much finish to buy: https://www.waterlox.com/support/purchase-assistant.
Typically, you’ll need 2 basecoats and 1 topcoat. This means that for a 500 sq ft area, you would need 2 US gal (7.6 L) of Waterlox Original Sealer/Finish and 1 US gal (3.8 L) of whatever topcoat you choose.
You may need more coats for very porous, untreated, or recently sanded wood surfaces.
2-2. Purchase safety goggles and gloves.
Waterlox is a potentially harmful chemical solution, so you must always protect yourself against its effects during use. Wear safety goggles and gloves whenever you are handling this product.
Nitrile gloves work best for this purpose.
2-3. Ventilate the area properly.
Ventilation is crucial when using Waterlox. If you are unable to ventilate the area properly, you should not use this product. Cross-ventilation is best to aerate the room and to help the finish dry. For best results, place a box fan in a window or door with another window or door open on the opposite side of the room. You should ventilate the room while you are applying the finish and while it is drying between coats.
Continue ventilating the area for at least 7 days after applying the final coat to ensure the finish is properly dried and to help evacuate the solvent odor.
2-4. Vacuum or dust the surface thoroughly.
It is imperative that you vacuum the surface you want to finish completely before applying the Waterlox. This will remove any dust or debris left on the surface so that it doesn’t get painted over.
Consider using a shop-vac or a canister-style vacuum for best results on larger surface areas.
For smaller surfaces, use a damp microfiber cloth to remove any dust particles.
After vacuuming, wipe the surface with a dry rag to get up any remaining flecks or fibers that the vacuum may have missed.
2-5. Lightly sand the wood surface.
Wrap your sand block with 220-grit sandpaper and rub it across the surface of the wood in 2 ft (0.61 m) to 3 ft (0.91 m) sections. Be sure to go with the grain of the wood as you sand it.
Do not sand the wood too roughly or this could remove any existing protective stain.
When finished sanding, wipe the surface with a rag to remove any leftover debris from the sanding process.
3. Applying the Waterlox Finish
3-1. Sand the surface with a sanding block and 220-grit sanding paper.
Before you begin applying the finish, you’ll need to sand down the wood surface first. To do so, you should get a sanding block and several pieces of 220-grit sanding paper. Gently sand down the surface of the wood to remove any rough or uneven spots.
You should be able to find these products at any home improvement store.
3-2. Pour the finish into a paint tray.
Pour just enough finish to thinly cover the bottom of a regular paint tray. You don’t want to overfill the paint tray, as this could lead to sloppy, dripping messes. Be sure to keep a clean rag on hand to wipe up any drips or spills while you’re pouring.
You may have to keep refilling the paint tray as you go, depending on how big the staining project is.
3-3. Soak a paint pad in the tray and rub it across the unfinished surface.
Take a short-bristled paint pad and place it in the paint pan. Let it soak up enough of the finish to be saturated, but not dripping excessively. Rub the paint pad back and forth across the surface to be stained in approximately 1 ft (0.30 m) to 2 ft (0.61 m) sections at a time, always going with the grain of the wood.
If you are finishing a rather large surface (like a floor, for example), it might be a good idea to attach the paint pad to a t-bar to make the painting job easier. This will help you save time and energy while finishing the surface.
3-4. Use a natural bristle paint brush for smaller jobs.
If you have a smaller job that needs to be completed (like a wooden countertop, a chest of drawers, or a wooden box), you should use a natural bristle paint brush rather than a paint pad. This will help you control the finish on a smaller surface than you would be able to with a paint pad, preventing drips or other stains from occurring.
Keep in mind that you should always apply the finish with the direction of the wood grain, regardless of what tool you use to apply the coat.
3-5. Wait 24 hours between each coat.
It’s important that you give each coat plenty of time to fully dry before starting on the next coat. Moving onto the next coat too quickly could cause air bubbles on the surface of the finish, or a sticky, filmy result.
If your area has high humidity, cold temperatures, or is poorly ventilated, this may increase the time required for drying between coats.
Warnings
Waterlox is made with Tung oil that is pressed from Tung tree nuts. This means that if you (or anyone in your household) are allergic to nuts, you may want to consider using another product.

2,129 | How to Apply Waterslide Decals | 1. Applying Decals to Plastic Models
1-1. Apply clear gloss to your model.
When the area of your model that you want to place the decal is painted and dry, begin applying layers of clear gloss such as Testors Model Masters High Gloss to it. Apply coats according the gloss directions and allow it to dry between coats.
The glossier you make your model the better, because this will make a smooth area that the decal will suction well to.
1-2. Cut your decal from the rest of the decals sheet with your hobby knife.
Your model likely came with a sheet of decals, so cut the decal you’d like to use away from the rest. Trim it with the knife to get the exact size you want.
1-3. Soak the decal in a little bit of water for 1-2 minutes.
Set your decal into a small tray of water and allow it to soak. While you’re waiting, rub some water onto your model surface, where you’re applying the decal, with a cotton swab.
Adding a bit of water to the model itself will aid in suctioning a little better.
1-4. Use tweezers and your hobby knife to get the decal onto the model.
Set the decal gently onto the model with tweezers, with backing paper still on. Use the tip of your knife to slide the backing paper out from under the decal, holding the decal in place with your tweezers.
Move the decal gently to exactly where you want it with your cotton swab. You can also use the cotton swab to smooth any edges that wrinkled in the application process.
1-5. Dab the decal with a paper towel to soak up extra water.
Get excess water out from under the decal by blotting it with a paper towel. If the decal slides again while doing this, you can realign it again using your cotton swab.
1-6. Brush decal softener onto the decal.
Once the decal is dry and exactly where you want it, take your decal softener such as Mr. Mark Softer and brush it all over the decal, making sure it doesn’t move. If it does move, quickly realign it with your hobby knife before the solution starts to work. Dab any excess softener with paper towel.
The softener will make your decal look like it’s melting a bit. That’s ok; it forms back into shape flatter and more suctioned to the model when it is set.
1-7. Apply another coat of clear gloss to the surface with a brush.
Once the decal is suctioned to the kit with the softener and smooth, apply another coat of clear gloss to seal everything in and prevent damage to the decal. Allow the top coat to dry and you’re all done!
2. Applying Decals to Nails
2-1. Apply clear base coat or nail polish to your nails and allow them to dry.
Choose a color of nail polish or a clear coat and brush it onto each of your nails. Allow your nails to dry fully before moving onto the next step.
2-2. Cut out your nail decals with scissors and choose one for your first nail.
After you’ve cut out all the decals, remove the plastic on the tops of them and find a decal that fits the nail you’d like to start with.
Most nail decal sets come with different sized decals to match each of your fingernails. Try to match the decal as closely as you can, but don’t worry if it’s not exact because you will get to trim the excess later.
2-3. Plop the decal into a small bowl of water for a few seconds.
Within a few seconds, you will notice that the decal starts to slide off the paper backing. Once this happens, you’re ready to move onto the next step.
2-4. Slide the decal onto your nail and smooth it down.
Using your fingers, slide the decal onto your nail. Then use your cuticle pusher or orangewood stick for smoothing the decal down where you would like it to be.
Your decal will slide around a bit on your nail, so you have some time to get the right placement.
2-5. Apply decals to all your nails and allow them to dry.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all your nails. Allow them all to dry fully. A bit of extra decal may hang down off your nails; that’s okay, you will address that in the next step.
2-6. Remove excess decal with your cuticle pusher or a nail file.
For any excess decal on the sides of your nails, use your cuticle pusher or orangewood stick to trim the decal and push it down into the sides of your nailbeds.
For excess decal remaining at the ends of your nails, gently file your nails in a downward motion with your nail file.
2-7. Apply clear top coat to all your nails.
The top coat will turn your decals into a type of polish that will remove any wrinkles in the decals. Wait for your nails to dry and then you’re all done!
3. Applying Decals to Ceramics
3-1. Make or buy a clean glazed ceramic item.
Choose (or make) an item that you would like to decorate. You could use a plate, bowl, coffee mug, vase, or any other piece of ceramic. You just want to make sure the item is complete, glazed, and clean.
The glaze on your ceramic will allow your decals to have a smooth surface to stick to.
3-2. Cut your decals to the shape you want them with scissors.
Using scissors, trim your decals to the size and shape that you’d like them to appear on the ceramic.
3-3. Soak your decals for 30 to 60 seconds each in water.
Set your first decal into a bowl of water. The paper backing begins to fall off the decals in 30 to 60 seconds.
Be ready to move the decal right away onto your ceramic when the paper backing falls off.
3-4. Place the decal onto your ceramic.
Using your fingers, place the decal onto your ceramic in the area where you would like it. Slide it to exactly where you would like it before beginning the next step.
3-5. Blot your decal with a paper towel or sponge.
To remove any excess water or air bubbles, blot the decal carefully with a sponge or paper towel.
Begin where the bubble is and press gently, working toward the closest edge to get the water or air bubble out.
3-6. Repeat steps 3-5 for any other decals you’re using on this ceramic.
Before you let the decals dry, put any other decals that you want to include on the ceramic. Some ceramic decals come in sets, such as a ring of leaves and flowers. Place all decals onto this item starting with the soak process.
3-7. Allow your ceramic to dry for 24 hours.
Once there are no water or air bubbles under the decal, allow the ceramic to sit out and dry for 24 hours. This will allow the decal to fully stick to your surface.
3-8. Fire your ceramic in a kiln at 015 to 04.
To be able to use your ceramic without having the decal wash off in water, you will want to fire your ceramic in a kiln at the setting appropriate for the decal you used.
For a colored waterslide decal, 015 should work well.
A black and white decal should be fired at 04 to ensure the iron merges with the glaze well.

1-1. Purchase an at-home waxing kit designed for what you want to wax.
At-home waxing kits, in general, are made to wax specific parts of your body. To ensure the best results, less pain, and no irritation, make sure you purchase a kit designed for what you want to wax. For example, don’t use the same waxing kit on your face that you’d use on your underarms. Also, if you have sensitive skin, look for a kit that’s gentle or designed for sensitive skin.
If you have any kind of skin condition or disease, you should see a professional rather than attempt to do it yourself.
1-2. Check that the hair you want to wax is ⁄4–⁄4 in (0.64–1.91 cm) long.
In order to safely wax, no matter where it’s located on your body, that hair needs to be at least ⁄4 in (0.64 cm) long, but no longer than ⁄4 in (1.9 cm). If your hair is longer than ⁄4 in (1.9 cm), use electric clippers or scissors to shorten your hair down to at least ⁄4 in (1.9 cm). If your hair is shorter than ⁄4 in (0.64 cm), wait for it to grow longer before waxing it.
Electric clippers are the type of clippers normally used to cut hair. They typically have different guards that go on the blade so you can cut your hair to a specific length.
1-3. Stop using products with retinol 2-5 days before waxing.
If you’re taking any type of prescription medication that contains retinol, or if you’re using any skin products that contain retinol, stop using them at least 2 days before you wax. Do not wax while taking or using these products.
In general, retinol products can dry and irritate your skin; make it peel, crust or blister; and make it sensitive to sunlight.
Waxing your skin while taking retinol products can make these side effects worse and damage your skin.
1-4. Exfoliate the area you plan to wax 1-2 days in advance.
To get the best waxing results, remove dry or dead skin and other imperfections ahead of time. A couple of days before you plan to wax, wash and exfoliate the area you’re going to wax. Do not exfoliate within 24 hours of waxing, as it may irritate your skin.
Exfoliation includes using a brush, face cloth, loofa, etc., to scrub your skin.
You can also use specific exfoliation products, such as body/face scrubs, that contain small, rough pieces of things like seeds to help exfoliate your skin.
1-5. Drink lots of water before you start to wax.
Make sure you’re completely hydrated before you wax. Drink as much water as you can in the hours before you’re going to wax. Hydration plumps up your skin which can reduce the amount of pain. Plus, plump, hydrated skin is less likely to get ingrown hairs.
Try to avoid foods and drinks that can dehydrate you before you wax, such as coffee, soda, alcohol, fried foods, and anything with a lot of sodium/salt.
1-6. Take pain medications or apply ice to reduce pain.
You will never be able to eliminate the pain from waxing completely, but there are things you can do to reduce that pain. Take an over-the-counter pain medication an hour or 2 before you wax. Or, hold an ice pack against the skin you’re going to wax immediately beforehand to numb the area.
If you use an ice pack, hold a towel between that ice pack and your skin. Also, make sure the area is completely dry before applying the wax.
You can also apply an ice pack to the area after you wax to reduce the pain.
1-7. Wash and dry the area you’re waxing immediately beforehand.
Right before you wax, completely wash the area with soap and water and dry your skin with a towel. If possible, have a shower immediately before you wax. You want to remove natural oils that may be on your skin and/or the residue of lotions or creams you may have recently applied. Wax adheres better to clean, dry skin.
Some at-home wax kits come with a pre-wax cleanser that you can use to wipe down the area you’re going to wax.
If you aren’t able to wash the area before you wax, sprinkle baby powder (or another powder like cornstarch) onto your skin to absorb the oils.
1-8. Conduct a test run of the wax to make sure it’s safe.
Follow the regular instructions to try small amount of wax on a 1 by 1 in (2.5 by 2.5 cm) piece of your skin. If the waxing kit doesn’t come with a test strip, cut a small piece off one of the larger strips. Use a spot on your body that isn’t visible in case the wax irritates your skin (e.g., upper arm or upper leg).
If the test area becomes really red, swollen, painful, or irritated, don’t use the wax anywhere else on your body.
2. Using Wax Strips to Remove Hair
2-1. Read the manufacturer’s instructions before using the wax strips.
Do not attempt to wax until you’ve read all the instructions and warnings that come with the kit (unless you’ve used the product before). Make sure you know exactly which items you’ll need to have ready when waxing and gather those items before you start.
In general, you’ll likely need the following items to wax: a brightly lit room, a mirror (depending on where you’re waxing), a towel, moisturizer or aloe vera, and tweezers (if you’re waxing your face).
2-2. Remove the protective backing from the prepared wax strip.
You can approach this step two ways.You can remove the entire backing off the strip before applying the strip to your skin. Or, you can peel off a portion of the backing, apply that part of the strip to your skin, and then pull off the rest of the backing as you push the strip against your skin.
Some at-home waxing kits may instruct you to rub the strips between your hands for a few seconds before removing the back. This is to heat the wax slightly before you apply it to your skin.
2-3. Apply the wax strip to your skin and rub it 2-3 times.
Lay the wax strip down on the area you’re waxing, in a direction that will allow you to easily pull the strip off in the opposite direction of your hair’s growth. For example, when waxing your legs, you’ll want to lay the strips lengthwise on your legs. When waxing your eyebrows, you’ll want to lay the strips horizontally above your eyes. Rub your hand along the wax strip in the direction of the hair growth 2-3 times to firmly secure it to your hair.
Keep in mind that the wax doesn’t go to the edge of the strips. Therefore, the unwaxed edges of the strips will need to be located where there’s no hair or where you’ve already waxed.
2-4. Use one hand to hold the skin taut to pull off the strip.
You’ll always need 2 hands to pull off a wax strip: one hand to hold your skin tight while the other hand rips off the strip. You’ll find it easier to use your dominant hand to rip off the strip, unless you’re waxing an area that’s difficult to reach. Practice makes perfect when it comes to waxing. You may need to reposition yourself several times before you find your favourite method.
This is one of the reasons it’s best to wax larger areas that are easier to see (e.g., your legs) if this is your first time waxing at home.
2-5. Rip the wax strip off quickly in the opposite direction of hair growth.
Grasp the edge of the wax strip at the end your hair is growing towards. For example, if you’re waxing your legs, you’ll want to grab the bottom of the wax strip as you’ll be pulling upwards. Hold the strip firmly and pull in the opposite direction of the hair growth quickly and in one motion.
Try to remove the entire wax strip in one smooth movement.
Don’t stop and restart partway through pulling off a wax strip, this will just cause you more pain and won’t pull out as many hairs.
2-6. Reapply the wax strip up to 2 more times to remove stray hairs.
Each wax strip can be applied to your skin up to 3 times if needed. That means, after the first pull, you can re-wax the same area 2 more times if you missed any hairs. It’s not a good idea to apply wax to the same area more than this, as it may cause too much irritation.
You can also use the wax strip to remove any wax residue on your skin. Apply the strip and remove it the same way you would if it were hair.
2-7. Repeat the process for the remaining areas.
Once you’ve completed the waxing process using one strip, continue the same process with new strips until the area is fully waxed. If the section you need to wax doesn’t need a full strip, feel free to cut the strip into smaller pieces so you don’t waste any.
Larger areas, like legs and arms, will require multiple wax strips.
Smaller areas, like your upper lip or eyebrows, may only require 1 strip.
2-8. Remove any remaining wax off your skin with water or oil.
Check the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the recommended method to remove residual wax from your skin (if there is any). Some at-home waxing kits are water-soluble, which means you can easily wipe the leftover wax off with a damp washcloth. Other kits are oil-soluble, which means you will need to use some sort of oil (e.g., mineral oil, coconut oil, etc.) to remove the wax residue. Dab a small amount of oil onto a makeup pad and wipe the wax off your skin.
Some at-home waxing kits will come with a product that’s specifically for removing residual wax from your skin.
2-9. Moisturize the area just waxed with oil-free lotion or cream.
Once you’ve finished waxing and have cleaned up all the wax residue, make sure your skin is completely moisturized. Use a lotion or cream that is oil-free or non-comedogenic so it doesn’t clog your pores and potentially cause ingrown hairs. You can also use aloe vera gel to soothe the area and add moisture if you’d prefer.
It is also recommended that you wear loose-fitting clothing around the waxed area immediately afterward to prevent skin irritation.
Avoid having a hot shower or bath immediately after waxing, as it may make the area more painful.

2,131 | How to Apply Wax to Chalk Paint | 1. Preparing the Painted Surface and Wax
1-1. Allow the chalk paint to dry completely before applying the wax.
Chalk paint doesn’t take very long to dry, but err on the safe side before starting the wax process. Allow the final coat to rest overnight to ensure that it’s completely dry.
Keep in mind that before you apply chalk paint, you should get all the grease off and prepare the surface so it will accept the paint.
Use a soft brush to apply the paint. Allow the first coat to dry, then apply the next coat.
It is better to put several light coats of paint than a couple of heavy coats.
You can complete the sanding and distressing process prior to waxing, but be aware of the dusty mess the chalk paint will create.
Feel free to wait until after the first coat of wax to start sanding if you prefer.
1-2. Choose a clear soft finishing wax compatible with chalk paint.
If you’re using Annie Sloane Chalk Paint, choose the wax produced by the same brand for the best results. Or, if you’ve made your own chalk-style paint, look for a soft, clear finishing wax intended for furniture.
Pick up a 500 mL (17 fl oz) tin of wax per 3 to 4 L (0.79 to 1.06 US gal) of chalk paint you’re using for your project.
Start with a clear coat, even if you later want to apply dark wax.
If dark wax is used first, it will soak into the chalk paint and the pigments will be harder to lift off. A clear wax barrier solves this problem and allows for a more customizable application of the dark wax.
1-3. Scoop out a dollop of wax and place it onto a paper plate.
Use a disposable plastic knife to pick up about 2 to 3 US tbsp (30 to 44 mL) from the tin. Spread it out on the plate to make it easier to pick up with the wax brush.
Try not to dip the brush into the tin of wax. This will help you avoid picking up too much wax and contaminating the wax with bristles or paint dust.
1-4. Load up some wax onto the tip of a soft wax brush.
Use either a brush designed specifically for chalk paint wax application or a similar round brush with stiff bristles and a blunt end. Dab the brush vertically into the wax sitting on the paper plate to pick up a quarter-sized amount.
One of the biggest mistakes to avoid is starting with too much wax. Don’t saturate your brush or scoop up a big blob.
Remember that less is more! You can always go back and apply more wax if necessary.
2. Brushing on the Wax
2-1. Massage the wax into 1 section of the chalk paint.
Work the brush in loose circular motions to distribute a thin layer of wax across the surface of the paint. If you work the brush from side-to-side, be sure to follow the grain of the paint and wood. Apply steady pressure to rub the wax into the chalk paint with the brush. Continue spreading the wax until the brush gets dry and you’ve run out of product.
Start by applying the wax to a smooth area first and avoid getting wax build-up into the crevices and grooves of the furniture.
Think of how you apply moisturizer to your skin when applying the wax to the paint. The first layer should smoothly cover the entire chalk painted surface, but you shouldn’t apply so much that you’re left with goopy blobs of wax that won’t blend in.
2-2. Wipe over the waxed surface with a clean lint-free cloth to remove the excess.
Opt for a microfiber cloth, a clean but old t-shirt, or a piece of cheesecloth. Ball up the cloth and use it to go over the wax in a few steady sweeps in the direction of the grain. While doing this, you’ll remove any excess and more deeply massage the wax into the chalk paint.
Although you applied the wax using circular motions, there’s no need to wipe the cloth in tiny circles just yet. The final polishing comes later; big sweeps will suffice for now.
If you notice a lot of wax buildup on the cloth, switch to a clean side or a fresh cloth.
2-3. Move onto the next section, applying a small amount of wax and wiping it off.
Rather than applying a full first coat of wax to the entire piece of furniture, you’ll work in small sections at a time. For each section, scoop up a small amount of wax onto the brush and buff it into the chalk paint. Then wipe over it a few times with a cloth.
You’ll be able to see where the wax has been applied since it increases the saturation of the chalk paint color.
Slightly overlap the new section with the previous one so you don’t leave any gaps, but keep each coat thin and even.
For a dresser, try working on one drawer at a time. For a table, work on a quarter of the tabletop surface or 1 table leg at a time.
2-4. Let the first coat of wax dry for 24 hours.
Once the wax has been applied to the entire piece of furniture and the excess wax has been wiped off, allow the wax to cure for 24 hours. Refrain from adding any additional coats or polishing the wax until a full day has passed.
The wax won’t be fully cured for about 30 days. However, it’s okay to add more coats and start using the furniture after a 24-hour curing period.
Complete 2 or 3 additional clear coats to surfaces that will get a lot of use. For tabletops that will face everyday objects or frequent use in high traffic areas, add 1 or 2 more coats to the surfaces to give the furniture piece a more durable finish.
Allow 24 hours of curing time between each coat of wax.
While the first coat of wax will heighten the saturation of the paint color, additional coats of clear wax won’t have a visible effect on the chalk paint.
2-5. Apply 1 full coat of dark wax over the clear wax for a tinted effect.
Once the clear coat has dried for at least 24 hours, you can follow up with an optional 1 or 2 coats of dark wax. This will give your piece of furniture a darker, more worn-in patina. Apply each coat in sections across the entire piece of furniture. As you’re wiping it away from each section, be more detailed with the cloth to lift off the wax from certain areas and leave more if it on other areas.
Wait 24 hours between coats to allow each layer of wax to cure.
Unlike clear wax, the dark wax will impact the final color of the furniture piece. It will add warmth to cooler colors and will darken lighter colors.
For a rustic patina with dimensional details, leave more dark wax pigment in the furniture piece’s crevices but wipe most of it off of the flat surfaces.
Use a separate brush for the dark wax and the clear wax to avoid contaminating the clear wax.
3. Burnishing the Wax
3-1. Buff the wax with a soft cloth if you’d like a glossier finish.
Once the final layer of wax has been applied and left to dry for 24 hours, take a look at your furniture piece and its overall finish. If you’d like it glossier, buff the wax using a soft cloth and small circular motions.
Apply steady pressure while buffing to achieve a consistent patina across the entire piece of furniture.
While it’s not possible to achieve a true high-gloss finish, you can achieve a pearly glow or a softly reflective sheen. The more you buff the wax, the glossier it will become.
If you like the soft matte finish of the dried wax, feel free to leave it as-is.
3-2. Let the wax cure for 24 hours before reinserting the hardware.
While the wax won’t be fully cured for another month, it’s okay to screw back in any new or original hardware after 24 hours of drying time. You can also begin using the piece of furniture as soon as the wax is dry to the touch.
For a surface that’ll receive a lot of use, be a little more gentle to the surface for the first few weeks to ensure the wax can cure smoothly and completely.
3-3. Clean your wax brush(es) with odorless mineral spirits.
Pour about ⁄2 c (120 mL) of odorless mineral spirits into a cup. Dunk the bristles in and jostle them around to loosen up the wax. Let the bristles soak for about 30 minutes, then rinse off the brush(es) with warm, soapy water.
The dark wax will stain the brush, but as long as the waxy texture is gone the brush is clean. Just don’t try using it with the clear wax in the future.

2,132 | How to Apply Weakness and Resistance in the Pokémon Card Game | 1. Setting Up the Field
1-1. Know the types of cards.
In Pokémon T.C.G., there are 4 main types of cards in a deck:
: This card typically features a person. You can only play one per turn.
: These items can have a wide variety of effects. You can play as many as you'd like in one turn.
: These vary between Basic, Stage 1, and Stage. 2. For a Pokémon card to come into play, you must play a Basic Card first. You can play a Stage 1 or 2 Pokémon only if you have the appropriate previous Stage card.
The requirements for the "evolution" are found in the upper left-hand corner below the Stage Level (Basic, 1, or 2).
If you have an image that matches the required Pokémon, then you can evolve into that Pokémon (once per Pokémon per turn).
: Each of these have a different symbol that corresponds to their type. You can play one energy card per turn.
You will need to use only Energy cards and Pokémon cards to understand these instructions.
1-2. Make sure that you have the following before you can begin:
2 complete Pokémon card decks (60 cards per deck).
Status Tokens and Coin (both come with pre-made decks).
Playmat or designated sides of a playable surface (desk, table, etc.).
1-3. Have each player shuffle their decks.
All cards are drawn from the top of the deck. The deck needs to have all cards face down.
1-4. Draw 7 cards for your hand.
Make sure that the other player cannot view your hand at any time.
1-5. Decide whether you want to do a 4 prize card game or a 6 prize card game.
The only difference between these is the length of the game, with 4 prize cards being a shorter game and 6 being longer.
1-6. Draw the prize cards (either 4 or 6 depending on your answer to Step 3).
Place these face down. Prize cards are always placed face down (with the card logo face up).
When drawing cards from your deck, place your prize cards on the left-hand side of your play mat.
Typically these are displayed in 2 columns, but any method of displaying prize cards is acceptable as long as you can access any card at any time (i.e. the cards aren't covering each other).
1-7. Set up your team.
Check to see if you have any Basic Pokémon cards. This will be visible in the upper left-hand corner of the playing card. You must choose one Basic Pokémon card to be your Active Pokémon. If you have other Basic Pokémon, you can place up to 5 on your bench.
1-8. Begin the game once each player has set up their Prize Cards, Active Pokémon, and Bench Pokémon.
2. Playing Your Turn
2-1. Begin your turn.
2-2. Examine your Active Pokémon.
Pick an attack to perform. Make sure that you have the required energy cards attached to your Active Pokémon to be able to do the attack.
2-3. Know that for every attack, there will be at least one symbol.
These symbol(s) describe the following:
The type of energy is required. This is dictated by the image and color of the symbol.
Number energy cards are required. This is dictated by the number of times the symbol appears next to the attack.
2-4. Look at the opponent's Active Pokémon.
They are placed side by side to make the comparison easier.
2-5. Look at Weakness and Resistance.
Weakness and Resistance are based on two primary components:
The type of move the Active Pokémon performing the attack is using.
The weakness and resistance of the Active or Bench Pokémon being attacked.
2-6. Notice the Pokémon's type.
The Attacking Pokémon's move Type is dictated by the symbols next to the attack.
If the attack has only one symbol, it is of only one type.
If the attack has more than one type of symbol, it can have more than one types.
2-7. Decide on an attack.
For example, in this instance, the attack used is Flamethrower. This attack requires 3 total energy, where two of them must be Fire Type energies.
If you see a white symbol with a black star in the middle, this is called Colorless energy. This energy requirement can be met by any color energy card.
In this instance, a Grass Energy was used to meet this requirement.
2-8. Find out whether the Pokémon being attacked has any resistance or weaknesses to your type of attack.
Look at the Pokémon being attacked. At the bottom of the card, there is a silver bar labeled with the words Weakness and Resistance.
In this case, look at the Weakness of this Pokémon. It shows a Fire Type energy and the X2 symbol next to it. This means that this Pokémon is weak to Fire-type attacks, and the damage received from those attacks is doubled.
2-9. Look at the Resistance.
In this case, the space next to the word Resistance is blank. This means that this Pokémon has no resistance to any attacks.
If there was a Resistance, the format would be similar to the Weakness. It would show the symbol or type of moves this Pokémon is resistant to, and a fraction to show how much the damage is reduced. This damage reduction is usually 1/2X or half of the total damage from the attacker.
2-10. Perform the attack.
In this case, the attack used is a Fire/Colorless type attack to the Grass-type Pokémon. This Pokémon has a weakness to Fire Type attacks, so it will receive double the damage.
Since Flamethrower normally does 60 damage, now it has been increased to 120 damage. If the Pokémon was resistant to Fire-type moves, the damage done would decrease from 60 to only 30 damage.
2-11. Remember that weakness and resistance are almost always applicable.
The only time a weakness or resistance is not applied is when a specific Pokémon's move directly says to not include it in the description below the name of the attack.
Warnings
If you do not have any Basic Pokémon in your hand, this is called a Mulligan. You must reshuffle all of your cards into your deck, then start again at Step 4.

Begin the game once each player has set up their Prize Cards, Active Pokémon, and Bench Pokémon.\\n\\n2. Playing Your Turn\\n2-1. Begin your turn.\\n\\n2-2. Examine your Active Pokémon.\\nPick an attack to perform. Make sure that you have the required energy cards attached to your Active Pokémon to be able to do the attack.\\n2-3. Know that for every attack, there will be at least one symbol.\\nThese symbol(s) describe the following:\\nThe type of energy is required. This is dictated by the image and color of the symbol.\\nNumber energy cards are required. This is dictated by the number of times the symbol appears next to the attack.\\n2-4. Look at the opponent's Active Pokémon.\\nThey are placed side by side to make the comparison easier.\\n2-5. Look at Weakness and Resistance.\\nWeakness and Resistance are based on two primary components:\\nThe type of move the Active Pokémon performing the attack is using.\\nThe weakness and resistance of the Active or Bench Pokémon being attacked.\\n2-6. Notice the Pokémon's type.\\nThe Attacking Pokémon's move Type is dictated by the symbols next to the attack.\\nIf the attack has only one symbol, it is of only one type.\\nIf the attack has more than one type of symbol, it can have more than one types.\\n2-7. Decide on an attack.\\nFor example, in this instance, the attack used is Flamethrower. This attack requires 3 total energy, where two of them must be Fire Type energies.\\nIf you see a white symbol with a black star in the middle, this is called Colorless energy. This energy requirement can be met by any color energy card.\\nIn this instance, a Grass Energy was used to meet this requirement.\\n2-8. Find out whether the Pokémon being attacked has any resistance or weaknesses to your type of attack.\\nLook at the Pokémon being attacked. At the bottom of the card, there is a silver bar labeled with the words Weakness and Resistance.\\nIn this case, look at the Weakness of this Pokémon. It shows a Fire Type energy and the X2 symbol next to it. This means that this Pokémon is weak to Fire-type attacks, and the damage received from those attacks is doubled.\\n2-9. Look at the Resistance.\\nIn this case, the space next to the word Resistance is blank. This means that this Pokémon has no resistance to any attacks.\\nIf there was a Resistance, the format would be similar to the Weakness. It would show the symbol or type of moves this Pokémon is resistant to, and a fraction to show how much the damage is reduced. This damage reduction is usually 1/2X or half of the total damage from the attacker.\\n2-10. Perform the attack.\\nIn this case, the attack used is a Fire/Colorless type attack to the Grass-type Pokémon. This Pokémon has a weakness to Fire Type attacks, so it will receive double the damage.\\nSince Flamethrower normally does 60 damage, now it has been increased to 120 damage. If the Pokémon was resistant to Fire-type moves, the damage done would decrease from 60 to only 30 damage.\\n2-11. Remember that weakness and resistance are almost always applicable.\\nThe only time a weakness or resistance is not applied is when a specific Pokémon's move directly says to not include it in the description below the name of the attack.\\nWarnings\\nIf you do not have any Basic Pokémon in your hand, this is called a Mulligan.

2,133 | How to Apply Weed and Feed | 1. Preparing Your Yard
1-1. Plan to apply it in the spring and fall.
Weed and feed works best when applied when weeds are actively growing and the daytime temperatures are between 60° and 90° F (15.5° and 32.2° C). In most areas, this means applying once during the spring, and once during the fall.
1-2. Mow your lawn 2-4 days before you apply.
If you can, mow your lawn to a medium height 2-4 days before you plan to apply weed and feed. This helps ensure that the product is evenly distributed throughout your lawn.
1-3. Check the weather forecast.
Rain can wash away weed and feed before it has a chance to start working on your lawn. Check the weather forecast to make sure that it is not going to rain the day you plan to apply or the day after.
The forecast should be clear for at least 24 hours for weed and feed to work correctly. You are also going to need to avoid watering your lawn during this period.
Do not try to apply the product immediately after a heavy rain, either. Standing water in your lawn could wash away the particles.
1-4. Wet your lawn before applying.
Use a misting or a low-pressure setting to lightly wet your lawn immediately before applying. You want your grass to be damp to the touch, but with no quick-draining or standing water. It should be just wet enough to help the product stick to the blades of grass.
2. Applying the Product
2-1. Set your spreader.
Weed and feed is best applied with either a rotary or a drop-type spreader. The exact settings you will need depend upon the brand of your product and the make of your spreader. Consult the packaging directions on your weed product to determine the correct settings for your spreader.
If you do not already own a spreader, you can buy one at a home and garden store or online for under $30 USD.
2-2. Apply the product to your lawn.
Once you have the product loaded and your spreader set, you can begin applying the product on your lawn. Get the best coverage by walking linear passes along the length of your lawn while disbursing the product from your spreader. Walking in straight lines ensures the most even coverage.
2-3. Overlap your passes to improve your coverage.
To help ensure that all your lawn receives an even amount of the product, overlap your passes slightly. Walk on the edge of your last pass. You should be able to see the product on the lawn to help guide you. This helps prevent any untreated spots.
2-4. Sweep or rake any excess product off of sidewalks and driveways.
Use a broom or a rake to push excess product from any sidewalks, driveways, or roads back into your yard. This keeps unused product from washing away in storm drains.
3. Caring for Lawns After Application
3-1. Keep children and pets off the treated area until it washes away.
Residual product that’s not fully absorbed into the soil could be harmful to children and pets. Keep them away from the treated parts of the lawn until any residual product has had the chance to wash away. This means waiting until after the first drenching rain. Otherwise, wait until you have been able to water your lawn regularly for a few days in a row before letting pets and kids on it.
If a pet or child ingests any weed and feed, call a vet or a doctor immediately to get recommendations for treatment options.
3-2. Avoid watering your lawn for at least 24 hours.
Washing your lawn too quickly after you apply weed and feed could wash away the product before it has a chance to work. Wait at least 24 hours before watering your lawn. Some products recommend waiting up to 2-4 days before watering. Check your specific product’s instructions to get the most accurate recommendation.
3-3. Wait 4 weeks to reseed and aerate your lawn.
Weed and feed can prevent seeds from germinating, so it’s important to make sure the product is fully absorbed before you plant new seeds or aerate your lawn. Wait at least 4 weeks after the date you applied the product to start reseeding or to aerate the treated areas.

2,134 | How to Apply Wet Eyeshadow | 1. Using Eyeshadow and Water
1-1. Pick the right product.
This method involves using water to dampen eyeshadow, and then applying it. Most eyeshadows become hard and unusable when they get wet. Fortunately, there are some eyeshadows that are designed for this "wet" type of application. Most of these types of eyeshadows will say on the package that they can be applied wet. Here is what you should keep in mind when choosing eyeshadow:
"Wet-to-dry" eyeshadows are the best for this sort of application. "Baked" eyeshadows and loose pigment powders are also suitable.
Regular eyeshadows are not recommended, because they will get hard and unusable if they get wet. If you must use regular eyeshadow, go for the metallic ones.
Keep in mind that the eyeshadow will look powdery when it dries. If you want something that always looks wet, click here.
1-2. Choose a blending makeup brush.
Make sure that the brush is dense and thick. If you don't like to use brushes, you can use a foam-tipped eyeshadow applicator instead. Make sure that the brush or applicator are clean.
1-3. Consider applying a base on your eyelids.
This base can be an eyeshadow primer, cream eyeshadow, or pressed eyeshadow. Applying wet eyeshadow will work on just about anything.
Use eyeshadow primer to help the wet eyeshadow go on smoothly.
Use cream eyeshadow if you want a brighter color.
Use pressed eyeshadow if you want to get a softer blending.
1-4. Lightly mist the brush.
You can use distilled or filtered water, makeup setting spray, or a makeup mixing medium. Avoid using tap water, as it tends to contain harmful bacteria. Also, do not dip the brush into the water, and don't get the eyeshadow itself wet. You want the brush to be damp, not soaking wet. If the brush is too wet, dab it lightly on a clean towel.
If you are using a foam-tipped applicator, lightly mist just one side. Press the wet side against the back of your hand. This will help saturate the brush.
1-5. Rub your brush a few times on the eyeshadow palette.
Keep your brush moving back and forth in one direction. Don't press too hard. Try to use the damp brush on only one side of the eyeshadow pan. This way, the other side will always stay dry. Even wet-to-dry eyeshadows can harden with too much moisture.
If you are using a loose pigment powder, shake a small amount into a dish or the cap first. This way, you won't pick up too much and end up with a clumpy mess.
If you are using a foam-tipped applicator and loose pigment, press the pigmented side against the back of your hand. This presses the pigment into the foam. It will help keep the foam from shedding loose pigment over your face.
1-6. Pat the eyeshadow on.
Apply it all the way from the lash line to the crease. If you plan on using other colors, such as in the crease and on the brow bone, you will need to let this first color dry.
1-7. Consider applying a second layer after the first one dries.
If you want, you can even use a different color, such as in the crease. For an even brighter look, you can dust some dry eyeshadow onto the wet one.
2. Using Eyeshadow and Gloss
2-1. Consider priming your eyelids, from lash line to brow, using an eyeshadow primer.
This method will show you how to get that wet, glossy look using eyeshadow and a gloss. The primer will keep your eyelids from soaking in the gloss, and help the "wet" look last longer.
Keep in mind that this wet, glossy look may crease over time. You will need to touch it up when this happens.
2-2. Choose a metallic eyeshadow.
You can use any type of eyeshadow you like, including pressed powder, pigment, wet-to-dry, and cream. The finer the shimmer, the more glossy it will look.
You can use a matte eyeshadow, but the color may change after you apply the gloss.
2-3. Apply the eyeshadow like you normally would.
This method tends to work best with simpler eyeshadow styles. Consider applying a base color all cover your lid, from lash line to brow bone, and then a second color from lash line to crease. You will be glossing the second color.
To make the color more vibrant, apply a cream shadow first, then a regular, pressed eyeshadow on top.
2-4. Choose a gloss.
This will give your eyeshadow that "wet," glossy look that lasts all day. The best gloss to use is ordinary lip balm, but you can use clear lip gloss if you want something thicker and shinier.
2-5. Apply the gloss using a synthetic makeup brush.
Avoid using natural hair, such as camel or sable. You can also tap the gloss on using your finger.
Avoid getting gloss into the crease. Leave a small gap. No one will notice, and it will prevent your lids from getting sticky.
Avoid the inner corners of your eyes. This will keep the gloss from getting into your eyes and irritating them.
Tips
If the eyeshadow hardens, gently scrub the hard areas with a clean mascara spoolie. This will "exfoliate" away the hardened layer.[11]
X
Research source
Avoid getting the actual eyeshadow wet. Dampen the brush first instead.
Apply many, thin layers, rather than one thick layer.
Warnings
Eyeshadow may flake off when dry if you applied it too thick.
Some people find that the wet, glossy eyeshadow style gets sticky and creases after a while.
Avoid using regular eyeshadow for the water method. Water can cause regular eyeshadow to harden. Instead, try using a specifically-designed wet-to-dry eyeshadow.

2,135 | How to Apply White Makeup (Face Paint, Clown Makeup, & Foundation) | 1. What do you use to make your face white?
White face paint is your best option.
If you’re looking for a base color that’s completely white, and not just a pale skin color, white face paint will do the trick. Speaking of trick (or treat), go with a commercial white Halloween face paint designed for costumes. It doesn’t have to be spooky season for you to use it!
For example, you could use Mehron’s Face & Body Paint, Ben Nye Master Creme Palette, or a hypoallergenic, vegan option such as Silly Cheeks.
You don’t even need to use additional makeup with costume-quality white face paint.
Look for white face paint at your local beauty supply store. You can also order it online.
2. How do you apply white clown makeup?
2-1. Use a makeup sponge or brush to apply the makeup.
Whether you’re using a creamy paint or dry clown makeup, a makeup sponge or a makeup brush will allow you to cover your whole face as well as focus on covering small detail areas such as around your nose and your jawline. Add a small amount of the white clown makeup to your sponge or brush and apply it smoothly and consistently over your entire face.
2-2. Set the makeup with makeup powder to keep it from running.
White clown makeup can easily streak and run if you start to sweat while you’re wearing it, and it can look a little greasy or shiny once you apply it. Luckily, you can easily solve the problem by gently applying light makeup powder, also known as setting powder, over your clown makeup to set it and give it a nice matte finish.
3. What can I use instead of white face paint?
You can use a white foundation or concealer instead.
To give your face a whiter complexion, choose a foundation or a concealer that’s at least 3-4 shades lighter than your skin tone. Apply an even layer of foundation with a makeup brush to create a smooth and consistent finish. If you’re using concealer, use the applicator to apply an even amount over your entire face.
Most concealers come with an applicator you can use. But if you don’t have one, don’t worry. You can use a makeup sponge to gently blend the concealer so it looks smooth and consistent.
If you need more coverage, apply foundation in several thin layers.
4. How do I make my foundation white?
You can mix a white color corrector into your foundation.
Color corrector is a liquid makeup product that you can use to alter the color of your foundation. Apply some of your foundation to the back of your hand, add a few drops of the white color corrector, and mix it all together so it’s a consistent color. You can then apply the lightened foundation.
If you want to make your foundation even lighter, just add more white color corrector!
A popular white color corrector is Manic Panic Dreamtone Flawless Foundation & Color Correction.
Instead of your hand, you can mix your foundation on a makeup mixing palette.
5. How can I make white face paint at home?
5-1. Combine equal parts cornstarch and face lotion and a tiny bit of oil.
Take a clean bowl and add ⁄2 cup (120 mL) of white cold cream or face lotion. Then, mix in ⁄2 cup (120 mL) of cornstarch to create a thick, but creamy consistency. Finally, add about ⁄4 teaspoon (1.2 mL) of vegetable oil or baby oil and mix it together well to help make the face paint more spreadable and to prevent caking.
You can easily adjust the consistency by adding some water to thin it out or adding more cornstarch to thicken it.
5-2. Use milk and cornstarch for an easy-to-remove option.
If you want a homemade white face paint that’s easier to wash off than one made with cornstarch and lotion, mix together 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of cornstarch, ⁄2 tablespoon (7.4 mL) of milk, and ⁄4 tablespoon (3.7 mL) of water. Combine the mixture really well and you’ll have a ready-to-use white facepaint.
6. How do you make white makeup with baby powder?
Use baby powder, face lotion, and ⁄4 teaspoon (1.2 mL) of vegetable oil.
Use a clean bowl and combine equal parts white cold cream or face lotion and baby powder to create a paint-like consistency. Then, mix in ⁄4 teaspoon (1.2 mL) of vegetable oil or baby oil and combine it well so the makeup is easy to apply and won’t cake up.
For instance, you could mix together ⁄4 cup (59 mL) of baby powder with ⁄4 cup (59 mL) of face lotion to get an even consistency.
Tips
If you’re just looking for a light makeup look, focus on your cheeks. Sweep a light powder brush over your cheeks to create a pale glow.[9]

2,136 | How to Apply Window Decals | 1. Finding a Place for the Decal
1-1. Determine if the conditions are right.
You should only apply decals when the weather is mild. Don’t try to apply decals when it is extremely cold or hot. Temperatures between 50–70 °F (10–21 °C) are ideal.
If you are placing decals outdoors, make sure it is not raining or windy. Aim to apply the decals when there is ample natural light, as it can be hard to tell if the glass is clean when it’s dark.
1-2. Clean the window glass.
Before you apply a decal, clean the area where you will put the decal. Clean the area only with either rubbing alcohol or soap and water. Don’t use a window cleaning product on the window because the residue it leaves will prevent the decal from sticking.
Let the glass air dry after cleaning it. Avoid wiping the window with a cloth or paper towel, as this can leave behind particles that could get trapped underneath the decal.
1-3. Remove air bubbles from the decal.
Prepare the decal before you place it on your window. Use something with a thin edge, like a credit card. Take the credit card or other object and rub it along the side of the decal with the clear tape from one edge to the opposite edge. The goal of this process is to remove any air bubbles.
Make sure to use enough pressure to smooth out the air bubbles.
1-4. Measure the area if you have a large decal.
Large decals are much more difficult to place on windows than smaller ones. With larger decals, measure the decal and the window area where you wish to place it. Make sure the decal will fit.
If the decal will fit, use a piece of tape to hold the decal in place.
2. Using the Peel and Stick Method for Small Decals
2-1. Remove the white paper backing.
Take the decal and slowly remove the white paper back from the sticker and clear plastic transfer tape. The white paper should come off without any sticking.
If the white paper sticks to the sticker decal, replace the white paper carefully. Use the credit card again to remove any air bubbles.
2-2. Position the decal.
Position the decal exactly how you want it on the window. If there is a specific place you want the decal, you may want to mark the top edge or middle with tape before trying to place it. That will help you get the right spot.
Slowly and carefully place the decal on the window. Use the credit card or other object to rub over the transfer tape to securely adhere the decal to the window. Begin in 1 corner and slowly work your way across the entire decal with the credit card.
2-3. Let the decal set for 24 hours.
Leave the decal on the window with the transfer tape still attached for around 24 hours. This helps ensure that the decal sticks fully to the window. If you don't let the decal set, it may not adhere to the window as strongly.
2-4. Remove the transfer tape.
Carefully lift up 1 corner of the clear transfer tape. Slowly remove the tape, making sure to peel it at an angle from the corner. Use gentle pressure so you don’t remove the decal.
If you remove the decal, reapply it to the window.
3. Applying a Large Decal
3-1. Tape the decal where you want it.
Place the decal where you want it on the clean window. Use 3 pieces of tape to hold the decal in place. Place 1 piece on the bottom, 1 on the top, and 1 on a side. Leave the other side empty.
3-2. Cut away the white paper on one side.
On the side with no tape, carefully take the transfer tape and peel it back. You should stop when you get to the tape in the middle of the bottom and top sides. Use a pair of scissors to cut away the white paper where you peeled the decal.
You should be cutting away about 1/3 of the backing paper.
3-3. Apply the free part of the decal.
With the white paper backing gone, move the part of the decal back over to the window where it originally started. This part of the decal will adhere to the window where you cut away the white paper.
Use a credit card, or a large piece of hard plastic like a thin cutting board, to squeegee the decal to remove all air bubbles.
3-4. Remove the remaining tape and white paper.
Now that part of the decal is stuck to the window, get rid of the three pieces of tape. Lift the free edge and slowly remove the white paper backing.
3-5. Stick the rest of the decal a small section at a time.
All of the decal should be ready to stick to the window. Carefully place the transfer tape and decals onto the window. Stick the decal a small section at a time. Use a credit card to push the decal and transfer tape against the window. Start where the part of the decal is already on the window and use the credit card to stick the decal.
Use the credit card to rub the decal slowly onto the window. Don’t try to stick the rest of the decal onto the window at the same time. Go from the middle outwards.
3-6. Remove the transfer tape.
After the decal is securely on the window, lift up 1 edge of the transfer tape. Slowly remove the transfer tape at an angle. Use only light pressure so you don’t rip off the decal.
You may want to wait at least 24 hours to make sure the decal has adhered to the window.
4. Applying a Static Cling Decal
4-1. Apply the cling to smooth surfaces.
Static clings are made from plasticized vinyl that will stick to smooth surfaces without sticky adhesives. They won’t leave a residue when they are removed. This type of decal will stick to glass or plastic.
4-2. Clean the area.
Before applying the cling, you need to clean the area of the window where you want to place it. Use window cleaner with ammonia on windows before using a static cling.
After cleaning it, let the area air dry or use a rubber squeegee to remove excess moisture. A static cling won’t stick to a wet or damp surface. However, avoid wiping the area dry with a paper towel or cloth, as this can leave behind particles or fuzz that could create bumps under the decal.
4-3. Apply small decals with the dry method.
The dry method can be used for small decals that are smaller than 12 inches (30 cm). Place the decal where you want it on the window. Using a rubber roller, push out the trapped air. Start in the center and work outwards.
4-4. Apply large decals with the wet method.
Large decals that are over 12 inches (30 cm) stick better if you use a solution to help them stick. Mix 2 teaspoons (9.9 mL) of liquid household detergent with 1 gallon (3.8 L) of cold water. Cover the side of the decal that you will stick to the window with the solution.
You can pour the solution on the decal or use a spray bottle.
4-5. Place the decal on the window.
Press the decal against the window. When you have the decal where you want it, press the water out from under the decal. Use a squeegee or a rubber roller. Start in the center and press outwards. Push down the edges to make sure it sticks to the window.
Wipe away moisture with paper towels.

If you don't let the decal set, it may not adhere to the window as strongly.\\n2-4. Remove the transfer tape.\\nCarefully lift up 1 corner of the clear transfer tape. Slowly remove the tape, making sure to peel it at an angle from the corner. Use gentle pressure so you don’t remove the decal. \\nIf you remove the decal, reapply it to the window.\\n3. Applying a Large Decal\\n3-1. Tape the decal where you want it.\\nPlace the decal where you want it on the clean window. Use 3 pieces of tape to hold the decal in place. Place 1 piece on the bottom, 1 on the top, and 1 on a side. Leave the other side empty.\\n3-2. Cut away the white paper on one side.\\nOn the side with no tape, carefully take the transfer tape and peel it back. You should stop when you get to the tape in the middle of the bottom and top sides. Use a pair of scissors to cut away the white paper where you peeled the decal. \\nYou should be cutting away about 1/3 of the backing paper.\\n3-3. Apply the free part of the decal.\\nWith the white paper backing gone, move the part of the decal back over to the window where it originally started. This part of the decal will adhere to the window where you cut away the white paper.\\nUse a credit card, or a large piece of hard plastic like a thin cutting board, to squeegee the decal to remove all air bubbles.\\n3-4. Remove the remaining tape and white paper.\\nNow that part of the decal is stuck to the window, get rid of the three pieces of tape. Lift the free edge and slowly remove the white paper backing.\\n3-5. Stick the rest of the decal a small section at a time.\\nAll of the decal should be ready to stick to the window. Carefully place the transfer tape and decals onto the window. Stick the decal a small section at a time. Use a credit card to push the decal and transfer tape against the window. Start where the part of the decal is already on the window and use the credit card to stick the decal. \\nUse the credit card to rub the decal slowly onto the window. Don’t try to stick the rest of the decal onto the window at the same time. Go from the middle outwards.\\n3-6. Remove the transfer tape.\\nAfter the decal is securely on the window, lift up 1 edge of the transfer tape. Slowly remove the transfer tape at an angle. Use only light pressure so you don’t rip off the decal. \\nYou may want to wait at least 24 hours to make sure the decal has adhered to the window.\\n4. Applying a Static Cling Decal\\n4-1. Apply the cling to smooth surfaces.\\nStatic clings are made from plasticized vinyl that will stick to smooth surfaces without sticky adhesives. They won’t leave a residue when they are removed. This type of decal will stick to glass or plastic.\\n4-2. Clean the area.\\nBefore applying the cling, you need to clean the area of the window where you want to place it. Use window cleaner with ammonia on windows before using a static cling. \\nAfter cleaning it, let the area air dry or use a rubber squeegee to remove excess moisture. A static cling won’t stick to a wet or damp surface. However, avoid wiping the area dry with a paper towel or cloth, as this can leave behind particles or fuzz that could create bumps under the decal.\\n4-3. Apply small decals with the dry method.\\nThe dry method can be used for small decals that are smaller than 12 inches (30 cm). Place the decal where you want it on the window. Using a rubber roller, push out the trapped air. Start in the center and work outwards.\\n4-4. Apply large decals with the wet method.\\nLarge decals that are over 12 inches (30 cm) stick better if you use a solution to help them stick. Mix 2 teaspoons (9.9 mL) of liquid household detergent with 1 gallon (3.8 L) of cold water. Cover the side of the decal that you will stick to the window with the solution.\\nYou can pour the solution on the decal or use a spray bottle.\\n4-5. Place the decal on the window.\\nPress the decal against the window. When you have the decal where you want it, press the water out from under the decal. Use a squeegee or a rubber roller. Start in the center and press outwards. Push down the edges to make sure it sticks to the window.\\nWipe away moisture with paper towels.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Decals are fun ways to advertise or express yourself.

2,137 | How to Apply Witch Hazel to Your Face | 1. Using Witch Hazel
1-1. Wash your face thoroughly.
Splash your face with warm water and gently rub on your favorite facial cleanser. Use cool water to rinse the cleanser off of your face. Pat your skin dry using a soft, clean cloth.
Avoid scrubbing your skin or using a harsh cleanser because these can damage your skin.
1-2. Do a spot test first to see how your skin reacts.
If you think your skin is sensitive, dab a little witch hazel on 1 side of your jaw line. Wait 5 to 10 minutes to see if your skin reacts. Witch hazel usually works best for oily skin because witch hazel is an astringent.
If your skin reacts, you may notice red, irritated skin or a rash develop. Avoid using witch hazel if you have a reaction to the spot test.
Since research is needed to determine if witch hazel is safe to use while pregnant, you should avoid using it if you are pregnant.
1-3. Soak a cotton ball or pad in witch hazel.
Buy high-quality witch hazel from a natural grocer or pharmacy. If you have sensitive skin, look for witch hazel with a low alcohol content to prevent it from drying out your skin. Dip a cotton ball or pad in the witch hazel until the cotton is soaked.
1-4. Swipe the pad all over your face to tone your skin.
Brush the soaked cotton ball or pad over your clean face. Your skin should feel wet for a few seconds, but the witch hazel will dry quickly.
1-5. Concentrate on specific areas to soothe irritation and acne.
Because witch hazel can cleanse and calm irritated skin, brush it over oily or acne-prone areas. For example, swipe a soaked cotton pad over your T-zone (the center of your forehead and nose) if it's oily.
1-6. Use witch hazel on your skin 1 to 2 times per day.
If you're just starting to use witch hazel on your face, brush it on your skin 1 time a day. This will give your skin a chance to get used to it and will prevent your skin from drying out too quickly. Once you've used it for several days, you can use the witch hazel up to 2 times a day.
2. Treating Skin Issues
2-1. Use witch hazel after cleansing to tone your skin and shrink pores.
Get out a clean 1-ounce (30-ml) spray bottle and pour 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of rosewater and 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of witch hazel into it. Add 9 drops of your favorite essential oil (such as tea tree, lavender, or geranium) and screw the lid on. Shake the bottle to combine the toner. Spray it on your skin or spray it onto a cotton pad that you can brush over your face.
You can use a combination of different essential oils. For example, try 4 drops of geranium and 5 drops of tea tree oil.
To remove makeup or dirt left after washing your face, apply a sparing amount of essential oil to a cotton ball and wipe it gently over your face and throat.
2-2. Reduce eye puffiness and undereye bags.
Take 2 clean cotton rounds and dip them in witch hazel or your infused witch hazel. Close your eyes and lay them on the puffy skin under your eyes. Let the rounds sit on your skin for 3 to 5 minutes and remove them.
The witch hazel should tighten your skin and reduce the puffiness.
2-3. Relieve the discomfort from a sunburn.
Squirt a quarter-sized amount of aloe vera gel into the palm of your hand. Add a 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 ml) of witch hazel or infused witch hazel and stir it together using your fingertip. Spread the witch hazel aloe vera gel over the sunburned skin on your face and let it dry. Reapply the gel as often as you need to.
Spread a thin layer so the gel can dry. You should feel a cooling sensation on your face once the witch hazel aloe vera gel begins to work.
Witch hazel can dry out your skin, so avoid applying it alone to a sunburn.
2-4. Soothe irritated skin and fight acne.
If your skin is breaking out in pimples and zits, dip a cotton ball in witch hazel. Place the cotton ball directly on the blemished area of your skin and hold it there for a few minutes. You can do this 1 to 2 times a day until your acne clears up.
Research shows that because it's an astringent and has antibacterial properties, witch hazel can reduce inflammation from acne and eczema.
2-5. Heal cuts and fade bruises.
Dip a cotton ball or pad into witch hazel and press it onto any cuts or bruises on your face. Hold the cotton in place for 2 to 3 minutes. The witch hazel will improve drainage in your face, which will speed up healing.
Apply the witch hazel to the bruises or cuts 2 to 3 times a day.
2-6. Remove stubborn or waterproof makeup gently.
Wet a cotton ball with witch hazel, and wipe it gently over your face and throat. This is an effective way to remove stubborn traces of makeup without vigorous rubbing that might irritate your skin.
3. Using Witch Hazel Products
3-1. Apply an anti-inflammatory face mask with witch hazel.
If the skin on your face is red or irritated, make a calming mask. Mix 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of witch hazel or infused witch hazel with 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of honey, if you have dry skin. If you have oily skin, mix the witch hazel with 1 egg white. Spread the witch hazel mask over your face and leave it on for 20 minutes. Rinse the mask off with cool water and pat your face dry.
Avoid scrubbing your skin when you remove the mask since this can damage your sensitive skin.
3-2. Apply lotion with witch hazel to moisturize your skin and tighten pores.
Buy facial lotion that contains witch hazel and use it after you've cleansed your face. The witch hazel lotion will lock in the moisture and will soothe irritated skin. Use the witch hazel lotion once a day.
3-3. Apply a witch hazel cream to treat eczema flare ups.
Buy a skin cream that contains 10 to 20% witch hazel and phosphatidylcholine. Rub this over itchy, irritated skin on your face 2 to 3 times a day. Studies have shown that the combination of witch hazel and phosphatidylcholine is as effective as 1% hydrocortisone.
4. Herb-Infused Witch Hazel
4-1. Buy high quality witch hazel.
Go to a natural grocers, pharmacy, or grocery store and look for witch hazel that contains at least 86% witch hazel extract. It shouldn't have an alcohol content above 14% or it may irritate or dry your skin.
4-2. Choose dried herbs to infuse the witch hazel.
Use your favorite dried herb or combine several to infuse in the witch hazel. Select herbs that will work well together. Consider using:
Basil
Calendula
Chamomile
Green sencha leaf tea
Lavender flowers
Lemon balm or peel
Lemongrass
Orange peel
Peppermint
Rose petals
Rosemary
Vanilla beans
4-3. Place your herbs in a jar and pour the witch hazel over them.
Decide how strong you want the infusion to be. For a mild infusion, place a few spoonfuls of dried herbs in the bottom of a mason jar. For a strong infusion, you could fill the jar almost to the top. Pour enough of the witch hazel over the herbs so they're covered by at least 2-inches (5-cm).
The herbs need a little room to expand and swell as they infuse in the witch hazel.
4-4. Set the jar in a cool, dark place.
Screw the lid onto the jar and put it somewhere cool and dry. Keep the jar away from light. Store the jar in a place where the temperature will not change dramatically.
Consider storing the jar in a cabinet or closet. Avoid storing it in a cabinet in the garage or attic, because the temperatures can shift too much.
4-5. Shake the jar every day for 2 weeks.
To ensure that the herbs swell and infuse the witch hazel, shake the jar at least once a day while the witch hazel infuses. Infuse the witch oil for at least 2 weeks before you use it.
If the herbs swell so much that they're not covered by the witch hazel, pour more witch hazel into the jar.
4-6. Strain the witch hazel into a new jar.
Set a clean mason jar in the sink and set a fine mesh strainer over it. Open the jar with the herb infused witch hazel and slowly pour it through the strainer into the new jar. Label the jar with the date you strained it and the herbs you used.
4-7. Use the herb infused witch hazel.
Dip a cotton ball in the infused witch hazel and brush it over your face for a quick moisturizer. Or dab a little along your jawline as a simple aftershave. To use the infused witch hazel as a makeup remover, rub a little over your face. Rinse your face to completely remove the makeup and witch hazel.
Store the infused witch hazel at room temperature for up to 6 months.

2,138 | How to Apply Witch Makeup | 1. Painting and Altering Your Face
1-1. Tie back your hair.
You want a green face, not green hair! Pull it back in a ponytail and tuck it behind your ears. For even more security, slip a wig cap over your head.
1-2. Set a base layer of face primer and foundation for a less spooky look.
For a sexier, less-green witch, grab primer and foundation in your natural skin color, or go a couple shades lighter to maintain a ghoulish feel.
Rub on your primer, then dab foundation on your face and blend it out with a brush, extending down and blending with the skin on your upper neck.
Using your fingers, rub concealer under your eyes or on any spots, then brush on some powder to help the makeup set.
1-3. Contour your face
Brush a brown or tan color along the tops of your cheek bones and the edges of your jaw with a makeup brush and blend it carefully. Use a thinner brush along the ridges of your noise. Highlight the tops of your cheekbones and the tip of your nose with a light brown or white eyeshadow to get a 3-D effect.
Your eyes will be pretty dramatic, so you can either keep the contouring subtle or use it to enhance the witchy look even more.
1-4. Paint your face and neck with green face paint for a spooky look.
Buy face paint at your local costume store or makeup boutique. Mix a darker shade with some white for a less intense color, or ramp up the impact with a neon or lime green. If you have very sensitive skin, consider applying a thin base layer of natural makeup under your green face paint so your skin doesn’t become irritated.
Squeeze some paint onto a palette or paper plate and use a soft makeup sponge to dab it onto your face, blending as you go.
Apply it as close as you can to your hairline, onto your ears if they’ll be exposed, and down your neck and chest to meet the neckline of your dress or shirt. Leave your eyelids bare, since you’ll be doing a smoky eye look later.
Dab away the excess paint afterwards with a fresh sponge.
1-5. Blend green eyeshadow over the paint to prevent creasing.
Use a medium-sized makeup brush and choose a green that’s similar to your face paint. This extra layer will help the face paint set, so you won’t have to worry about it creasing or smudging.
1-6. Use a yellow eyeshadow as highlighter over the paint.
With a clean makeup brush, apply a yellow eyeshadow under the inner corners of your eyes, blending it towards your nose, and along the tops of your cheekbones.
1-7. Contour with a dark green eyeshadow to complete a green face.
Use a fresh brush to apply forest green eyeshadow along your cheekbones. Use a thin brush to paint dark green liquid liner onto the ridges of your nose, going from the top to the tip. Blend it with a makeup sponge to get a witchy, long-nosed look. You can also dab a bit of the same liquid liner onto your chin with a makeup sponge to achieve a pointed effect.
Can’t figure out where to contour your cheeks? Pull a “fish face” to make your cheekbones pop and apply your eyeshadow.
1-8. Let any face paint dry before you get dressed.
To make for an authentic green witch costume, try to cover up exposed skin that you don’t want to paint green, like your hands and ankles. Use long black gloves and a long skirt for a look that’s both elegant and efficient. Buy a large witch hat or move your hair forward if you’d rather not paint your ears.
2. Applying Eye Makeup
2-1. Brush on a green cream eyeshadow to blend with green face paint.
Apply it with a small brush, spreading the eyeshadow gently across your upper and lower eyelids and blending it with the face paint where they meet. Use a shade that approximately matches the paint.
2-2. Add a dramatic cat-eye to your green-faced witch.
The farther you extend the cat-eye, the more striking the style will be. If you want to be a spooky witch with big, haunting eyes, go for it!
Brush some matte black eyeshadow onto the top of your eyelid and follow the crease line out. Then, use a green eyeshadow to blend it out into your green face paint, towards your nose and underneath the the lash line.
Choose a bright green shadow for the main part of the lids and apply with a small brush.
Use a black liquid liner to create a thick line just below your lower lashes and above your upper ones. Extend it out into the cat-eye tail and blend it out.
2-3. Create smoky witch eyes for a subtler, sexy look.
To achieve the neatest cat-eye, place a piece of tape just under your eye so that the straight edge curves out a bit towards your temples. This will ensure that you get a neat, elegant extension as you apply your eyeshadow. If you use tape, make sure to do your eyes before you prime and contour the rest of your face.
Use your fingers to spread primer on your eyelids up to your eyebrows. Then, rub on a brightly-colored eyeshadow with your fingers, using multiple layers to make the color pop. Try green or purple for a classic witchy look, or experiment with other neon colors.
Blend a matte brown eyeshadow into the crease of your eye with a large blending brush, just above the colored eyeshadow. With a smaller, tapered brush, blend a black eyeshadow into the outer corner of your eye and into the crease.
To make your colored eyeshadow pop, use a small brush to swipe on white eyeshadow below your brow and along the inner corner of your eye.
Apply a black liquid liner along your upper lid, following the crease outwards towards your temple.
2-4. Use false lashes and mascara to make your eyes pop.
Both spooky and sexy witches need big, striking eyes, so invest in a pair of dramatic false lashes or layer on that mascara. For an extra shimmer, dab on a bit of silver glitter eyeshadow.
3. Adding Embellishments
3-1. Use prosthetics for a creepy, spooky look.
Buy a fake hooked nose, a pointy chin or a stick-on wart at a costume supply store. Apply them using the directions on the package and make sure they’re safe to use with makeup.
You can stick on your prosthetics before your do your makeup, or add them on after and swipe on a bit of extra green paint.
3-2. Accentuate your eyebrows.
Use a thin brush and black eyeliner to fill in and darken your eyebrows. Paint it past the end of your brows for an elongated look, or arch it upwards for extra drama and a pointier, more evil feel.
For a non-green witch, you can also use brown eyeliner to define your brows.
3-3. Paint your lips with green, black or purple lipstick.
If you’re using a lip brush, begin by outlining your lips, emphasizing the cupid’s bow and making it pointier if you want an extra evil look, then filling in the main part of the lips. You can also apply straight from the bullet, keeping your hand steady and applying slowly.
Choose a black or purple lipstick for an intense, dramatic effect, or go with a slighter darker shade of green than your main face paint color. You’ll look spooky and witchy either way.
3-4. Add a fake mole as a playful touch for a sexy or spooky witch.
Using an eyeliner pencil, dot a small point below your lips, to the right or left of your chin. Twist the pencil to get a nice circle effect.
3-5. Finished.
Tips
Face paint can be difficult to clean out of a makeup sponge. If you can, use an old one that you can throw away afterwards.

2,139 | How to Apply Wood Veneer | 1. Steps
1-1. Cut the substrate (the material that the veneer is actually applied to) to the exact finish size.
This way, you can cut just the excess veneer with a razor knife and avoid damaging the finished product by using a table saw.
1-2. Select the most appealing section of the veneer pattern, which will be visible in the finished piece, keeping in mind that any excess will be trimmed.
One effective way to isolate your preferred section is to make a cardboard template. This will need to be cut to the identical size of the substrate panel by laying the substrate over the cardboard, marking the edges and then cutting the cardboard.
1-3. Place your template over the desired section of veneer and cut out that portion, leaving approximately one-half inch, or 1.27 centimeters (0.5 in), of excess on each side.
1-4. Center the selected pattern section over the substrate panel and apply the contact cement, following the manufacturer's instructions, to both the veneer and the substrate.
Allow it to set.
Be sure to mix the adhesive thoroughly before applying it. This will maximize its effectiveness.
1-5. Use extreme caution when positioning the two elements for adherence.
Since contact cement is so slip-resistant, they must be perfectly aligned on the first try.
1-6. Using maximum pressure, roll the veneer smooth by starting in the center and working out toward the edges using a veneer roller.
1-7. Still using maximum pressure, smooth the surface with a smoothing blade to verify that the veneer is completely adhered.
1-8. Turn your piece upside down and use a razor knife to trim the excess veneer, using the edges of the substrate as your guide.
Run your hand over the area to be sure that the area is entirely smooth. If you do encounter any bubbles, repeat the two previous steps.
You can ensure a cleaner cut by scoring the surface first to determine the cut
1-9. Allow ample time for curing and drying before finishing the piece.
Tips
One way to ensure the proper positioning is to cut a piece of waxed paper to the size of the veneer, leaving some excess on one side and placing it between the substrate and the veneer. This allows you to position both pieces to your satisfaction before sliding the waxed paper out to initiate adherence.
If, after smoothing and re-rolling the veneer, you are still encountering bubbles, you can release any remaining trapped air by making small, subtle slits in the veneer. Make sure to go in the direction of the grain.
Warnings
Contact cement is a great application method because the cement is absolutely permanent. The drawback of this is that you need to be perfectly accurate when aligning the veneer and substrate.

2,140 | How to Apply Zombie Makeup | 1. Applying Zombie Make-Up
1-1. Prepare your face.
You'll want to start with a clean canvas, so use a gentle cleanser to remove makeup and oils from your skin. Rinse with warm water, then pat (don't rub) your face dry with a towel. Avoid putting on moisturizer or sunscreen. These products might cause latex-based makeup to slide off.
Pull your hair back. If you have long hair or bangs, keep it out of your face while you work. Put it up into a ponytail, and clip stray hairs out of the way with bobby pins or a headband.
If you're a guy, you may want to shave before applying any make-up or prosthetic. Latex and gelatin can get stuck in the hair, making it them quite painful to remove.
1-2. Apply latex or gelatin to create wounds and gashes (optional).
Liquid latex and gelatin are two substances you can use to create really cool zombie effects - like open wounds, bloody gashes, bite marks and broken noses. Although they might sound intimidating or overly complicated to use, both liquid latex and gelatin are actually surprisingly easy to work with. An explanation of how both products work can be found in parts three and four of this article.
If you do decide to work with either liquid latex or gelatin, they will need to be applied at this point in the make-up process, that is, before you begin working with face paints.
However, if you decide these products are too much work or you don't have time to find them, just skip to the next step. You can still create a hideously decayed zombie look without them!
1-3. Apply a base of white face paint or stage make-up.
Using a soft makeup or stippling sponge, dab the white all over your face. Then blend it in small, light motions until your whole face is covered in a thin layer of makeup. Allow it to dry completely.
Create a mottled effect by subtly applying a second color over the white. You can go with grey for an ashen, decayed effect, red or purple for a bruised effect or green and yellow for a gangrenous effect.
Use the best quality face paint you can find. Cheap, low-quality face paint will not blend well and is bad for your skin. Try to get your hands on some high-quality stage make up - it can usually be found in good costume stores.
1-4. Create dark circles around your eyes.
Dark, sunken eyes can help you look dead, violently injured, sleep-deprived, or all of the above!
Outline your lids with dark pencil eyeliner, then smudge it outward. Then use black or brown eyeshadow or face paint to fill in the dark circles beneath the eyes and around the eyelids.
Blend around the edges with purple and red paint or shadow to create the illusion of freshly-bruised skin, or with green and yellow for an older looking bruise.
1-5. Hollow out your cheeks.
Zombies are often pretty emaciated looking - good brains can be hard to come by you know! You can achieve this sunken in effect by sucking in your cheeks and lightly blending some black powder or paint into the hollows. This will highlight your cheekbones.
1-6. Darken your lips.
Apply black lipstick or face paint to your lips for a dried-out, dead look. Also emphasize the creases around your mouth with some dark, shadowy lines.
1-7. Create popping veins and bloody scratches.
Use a small paintbrush to paint thin, zig-zagged lines in blues and purples all over the face to create popping veins. Take a dry stippling sponge (or some other coarse sponge) and dip it in red face paint. Draw the sponge lightly over the skin to create a bloody-looking scratch.
1-8. Finish with some fake blood.
You can buy fake blood at most costume stores, or you can make your own non-toxic version simply by adding some red food coloring to corn syrup. For all the fake blood you'll ever need, mix one cup of corn syrup with one or two tablespoons of red food coloring. For darker, more realistic looking, you can also add one or two drops of blue food coloring.
Apply the blood to your hairline and let it drip down your face, or cup some blood in your hand and dip your mouth in to make it look like you just fed!
Use a toothbrush for blood spatter. Put some fake blood onto a toothbrush, aim the bristles at your face, and run your finger over the bristles from bottom to top.
Create a dripping blood effect. Dip a sponge into the fake blood and squeeze it over your skin. The blood should run into a natural-looking drizzle.
2. Completing the Zombie Effect
2-1. Wear creepy zombie contact lenses.
Zombie contact lenses - which are typically very pale blue or white - can really up the scare-factor of your costume. Find such contact lenses online or at costume stores.
2-2. Get greasy zombie hair.
The undead aren't particularly concerned with personal hygiene, so washing their hair isn't a priority. If you want your locks to look limp and lifeless, rub a generous amount of conditioner through them. You can do this before or after you apply your makeup.
You can also make your hair look messy and unkempt (for that "just out-of-the-coffin" look) by teasing or backcombing the hair using a small comb. Spritz with hairspray to hold in place.
Sprinkle baby powder into your roots to achieve a graying, ashen effect.
2-3. Stain your teeth.
Like the rest of their bodies, zombies' teeth are typically rotting and decayed. Of course, it's possible to buy fake teeth at the costume store, but these can be awkward or uncomfortable to wear and prevent you from talking or eating properly. Overcome this problem by (temporarily) staining your teeth using water mixed with a little brown food coloring.
Swish the mixture around your mouth and between your teeth, then spit out. Alternatively, you could use red food coloring for a bloody effect!
When you're done, brush your teeth with a little baking soda to remove the stains and restore your teeth to their original color.
2-4. Create the costume.
Perfect zombie make-up should be complemented by an authentic-looking zombie costume. To create a classic zombie costume, get some old dress clothes (second-hand stores are great for this) and do whatever you can to rip and dirty them. Go at them with a scissors, roll them in the mud, give them to the dog to chew on - the scruffier they end up looking, the better.
Create bullet holes in your clothing by making circular marks with black permanent marker, then dribble or splatter fake blood around the edges.
The great thing about zombie make-up is that you can wear it with any costume to instantly zombify it. Use your creativity to come up with a zombie version of whatever boring Halloween costume you were originally thinking of -- become a zombie ballerina, a zombie tourist or a zombie pirate!
3. Using Liquid Latex
3-1. Purchase liquid latex.
Liquid latex is good for achieving a generally deathly look, as well as building up wounds or other facial deformities.
You should be able to find it at seasonal Halloween supply stores, or at beauty supply chains.
Choose a color that looks appropriately pale and decaying.
3-2. Use the "stretch and stipple" technique.
Stretching out your skin as you apply latex ensures that you won't have any accidental blank patches. Additionally, it will leave you with some decidedly creepy wrinkling when the latex dries.
Gently spread or stretch the area of skin you're painting. It's best to do this technique one area at a time (i.e., forehead, one cheek, chin, etc.).
Using a clean paintbrush or makeup sponge, apply a thin layer of liquid latex to the area in small stippling motions. Keep your strokes light and short.
3-3. Build up deformities or wound sites.
You can use these techniques to make the face look misshapen, or lay the groundwork for a scabbing "wound."
Apply another layer of latex to "build" your make up. Creating light layers of latex, instead of smearing on thick amounts, creates even coverage with minimal clumping.
Mix a little bit of uncooked oatmeal with the latex, then apply in one or two small areas on the face. This is great for a gangrenous or scabby look.
Put single-ply tissue between latex layers. Get a piece of toilet paper, and separate the sheets so that you have a single ply. Rip the edges until you have the shape and size you want. Hold it over an area with a base latex layer already underneath it, and paint another layer over it. It will help disguise the smoothness of your skin with a rotting texture.
3-4. Put wounds or scabs into latex.
By selectively ripping parts of the liquid latex, you can put wide gashes or small lacerations into your new skin.
Use scissors. You should carefully snip the latex until you create the wound you want. Be careful not to nick your skin!
Use a toothpick. Simply stick it into the liquid latex and drag it through for a gaping wound.
3-5. Fill your wounds with blood.
Dip a clean paintbrush or makeup sponge into fake blood, and gently dab it into your gashes or over your oatmeal portions.
4. Using Gelatin
4-1. Make gelatin
For the right consistency, use about 1/3 cup (80mL) of water per packet of gelatin.
Color the gelatin. Use a few drops of food coloring for an unnatural tone, or add a bit of liquid foundation in a tone close to your skin for a flesh-like look.
Cut the gelatin into cubes. Store it in a bowl or resealable plastic bag.
4-2. Gently heat the gelatin.
If you heat it to boiling, you'll break down the structure of the gelatin. Put it in a bowl in the microwave and heat in 10-second intervals, until the cubes have softened and become slightly gooey.
4-3. Apply the gelatin to your face to create raised wounds.
Using a popsicle stick or tongue depressor, glop the gelatin onto the area. As it begins to dry and re-harden, use the stick to pull up small, stretchy threads — this will create more texture around the wound.
4-4. Allow the gelatin to harden and dry.
If you're still using a makeup sponge on other parts of your face, be careful to steer clear of the gelatin areas.
Tips
To remove the liquid latex, apply a hot wet cloth onto the latex area and allow the heat to loosen it up. Once it's loose, you should be able to peel it off easily.
Make sure that you are not allergic to liquid latex or any of the cosmetics by doing a spot check first. To do so, put a small dab of the latex or makeup on a sensitive part of the skin (like the inner wrist) and wait for fifteen to twenty minutes. If the skin looks irritated or you see a rash forming, wash off the makeup and do not use it.
Don't forget to add some of that fake blood around your mouth to create the look of a zombie that's just eaten. Dab some blood around your mouth, but check first to make sure that it's nontoxic.

2,141 | How to Apply a Butterfly Bandage | 1. Cleaning the Wound
1-1. Rinse the cut with cool water.
Take a cup full of cool water and pour it slowly over the injury. You can also place the cut under cool, running water. This will flush out any dirt or debris.
Avoid pouring antiseptics or hydrogen peroxide over the cut. These harsh cleansers can actually irritate the injury.
1-2. Wash the skin around the wound.
Gently rub soapy water on the skin surrounding the cut. Ensure that soapy water doesn't run into the cut. Then rinse the soapy water away with cool water and pat it dry with a clean cloth.
The butterfly bandage will stay in place better if it's secured to clean, dry skin.
If you have some, apply a dab of antibiotic ointment onto the wound. This will speed up the healing process and prevent infection.
2. Putting a Butterfly Bandage on the Wound
2-1. Hold the wound shut with your fingers.
Use your non-dominant hand to line up the edges of the cut. Bring the edges together using your thumb and index finger. Keep pressing the cut to keep the wound closed.
2-2. Set half of the bandage on 1 side and pull it to the other side of the cut.
Take the butterfly bandage and remove the backing to reveal the adhesive. Press 1 half of the bandage on a side of the cut. Then bring the other half across the cut and press down on the bandage.
Never apply a butterfly bandage lengthwise along the cut. It needs to cross the cut so the wound edges are closed or almost closed.
3. Securing the Wound
3-1. Apply 1 more butterfly bandage above and below the cut.
To encourage healing and keep the cut closed, open another butterfly bandage and put it directly above the main bandage you just applied. Open another butterfly bandage and put it directly below the main bandage.
3-2. Put 2 butterfly bandages vertically across the bandages.
Open 2 more butterfly bandages and place 1 vertically to 1 side of the cut. Then put the other butterfly bandage vertically on the other side of the cut.
Placing vertical bandages will hold the 3 butterfly bandages in place.
You don't need to put a protective covering over the butterfly bandages since this will secure them.
3-3. Leave the butterfly bandage on until it falls off.
After several days the butterfly bandage should start to curl up and peel away from the skin. It's fine if the strips fall off because it means that the cut is healing.
Be sure to keep the area clean. Also, avoid picking at the butterfly bandage or you could accidentally open the wound.
4. Assessing the Wound
4-1. Apply pressure to stop the bleeding.
Press a clean cloth or towel against the injury for up to 5 minutes. If it's a minor cut, the bleeding should stop. If the cut is more serious and continues to bleed after applying pressure for 10 to 15 minutes, you'll need to get medical attention.
If you can't slow the bleeding, go to an urgent care center or emergency room.
4-2. Inspect the wound to see what type of injury it is.
Look at the injury to see if it's a cut, if the skin's been torn, or if the skin's been scraped. Butterfly bandages are useful for holding together shallow cuts with clean edges. If you see torn skin that's jagged, it will probably need stitches.
Butterfly bandages aren't effective at covering abrasions. If you see scraped skin, apply a large or liquid bandage.
4-3. Determine how deep and long the cut is.
Use a butterfly bandage if the cut is less than 1/4 in (6 mm) deep and less than 3/4 in (19 mm) long. If the cut is longer or deeper than this, it will need stitches.
If you can see muscle or fat, the cut will need stitches in order to heal properly.
4-4. Avoid using a butterfly bandage on animal bites or joints.
Get medical attention if the injury was caused by an animal bite or if there's dirt embedded in the skin. You should also avoid using butterfly bandages on cuts that are on joints such as elbows or knees because the bandage won't be able to hold the skin in place.
Don't use butterfly bandages on skin that's oily or hairy since the bandage will have trouble staying in place.
Warnings
If you see bleeding after you've applied the butterfly bandage, the cut probably needs stitches.
Wash your hands thoroughly before addressing your wound.

2,142 | How to Apply a Cast to a Broken Arm | 1. Preparing the Arm for a Cast
1-1. Recognize a broken arm.
Broken arms will usually be very easy to identify. If you think you or your child has a broken arm, go immediately to the emergency room so it can be treated. Symptoms include:
Extreme pain
Swelling
Bruising
Dizziness or lightheadedness right after the break occurs
The arm is bent in a way that it shouldn’t be
The person is unable to move his wrist or fingers
A snapping or grinding noise when the injury occurred
Bleeding and pieces of bone sticking out through the skin
1-2. Make the person as comfortable as possible on the way to the hospital.
Remember that if the break is complex, it may be necessary for the person to get anesthesia while the doctor moves the pieces of bone back into place. Do not give the person anything to eat or drink.
Use an ice pack to reduce the person’s pain and swelling. Wrap a bag of ice or package of frozen peas in a towel. After 20 minutes, give the skin a chance to warm up.
You can use a large towel to help the person support the arm in a sling or prop up the arm. Do not move the arm, that could cause more damage.
1-3. Have the doctor splint the arm.
The splint will be put on the arm to immobilize it while the doctor examines it. The splint is hard on one or two sides, but open on the other in case the arm continues to swell. The splint will have several layers:
Soft cloth to protect the skin against irritation
Soft padding
Plaster or fiberglass to prevent movement
An elastic bandage to hold the pieces of the splint in place
1-4. Allow the doctor to examine the arm.
The doctor will want to look at the arm, feel the arm, and will probably order X-rays. X-rays will create an image of the bones in the arm and help the doctor determine whether they need to be realigned so that they will heal in the correct position.
For minor fractures where the bones remain correctly aligned, no additional procedures may be needed before putting a cast on the arm.
If the bones are not aligned, the doctor will give the person anesthesia to either numb the area or put her to sleep. Then the doctor will try to move the bones back into place.
If this is not possible, the doctor may need to do surgery. This is more likely to be necessary when a joint has been broken. Surgery may also be necessary if wires, plates, screws, or pins are needed to hold the pieces of bone in place.
2. Receiving the Cast
2-1. Ask the doctor what type of cast will be put on.
Depending upon which bone is broken, the cast may be either short or long.
A short arm cast is usually used if a wrist bone is broken. This cast would extend from the knuckles to below the elbow. (Sometimes a long cast will be used to prevent the person from twisting his wrist and putting it out of alignment.)
A long arm cast is put on if the forearm or elbow is broken. The cast would go from the knuckles to the upper arm.
Fractures of the humerus (upper arm) are treated either with a sling or a brace, but not a cast.
2-2. Ask the doctor what the cast will be made of.
A cast is a hard bandage that protects the bone as it heals. The hard, outer shell is lined within with soft padding that will make it more comfortable. There are two types of materials that casts are sometimes made of:
Plaster. Plaster is a white powder that is mixed with water and then allowed to harden into the outer shell of the cast. Plaster is easier to work with because it sets more slowly. This gives the doctor more time to work. It also means it gives off less heat, making burns less likely.
Fiberglass. Fiberglass is a type of plastic. It is lasts longer, is lighter, and is better for X-rays than plaster.
2-3. Watch your doctor assemble the necessary materials.
This may include:
Tape
Scissors
A basin of water. The water temperature affects how quickly the casting material will set. It will set faster with warmer water. In general for plaster casts, the water should be lukewarm. For fiberglass the water should be room temperature or cooler.
Casting gloves, if your doctor will use fiberglass
Padding
Plaster or fiberglass casting material
Sheets or pads to cover you and keep your clothing clean
A stockinette
2-4. Allow the doctor to prepare your arm.
The doctor will put on the padding which will go on the inside of the cast.
The doctor will first position your arm so that the bones will heal correctly.
You will first have a stockinette put on your arm. It will likely be about 4 inches longer above and below the injured area that the doctor will put the cast on. The stockinette will likely be 2 or 3 inches wide. The doctor will smooth it to prevent it from wrinkling. The doctor may not use a stockinette if the arm is expected to swell a lot.
The doctor will wrap your arm in padding. Each layer will overlap the previous by about 50%, producing a double layer over your arm when the doctor is done. The doctor may add more layers, particularly over the fingers or other bony areas. The padding used on your hands will likely be about 2 inches wide, while the padding used on your arm may be up to 4 inches wide. The padding should be an inch and a half longer at either end than the area that the cast will cover. It should not restrict blood flow.
2-5. Observe as your doctor applies the cast.
The doctor will wrap the casting material around the arm. Each new layer will overlap the previous by about 50%, creating a double layer without holes. Right before adding the final layer, the doctor will fold back the ends of the stockinette and padding, and add the final layer over them. As the casting materials set, the doctor will adjust their shape by molding them. It is important that the tension be correct:
If the cast is too tight it may restrict the blood flow or irritate the skin.
If the cast is too loose or has too much padding it may move on the arm, rub, and cause scratches and blisters.
2-6. Tell your doctor if the cast feels hot.
The cast gives off heat when it sets and this can be uncomfortable if too much heat is produced. Two factors affect the amount of heat produced. The amount of heat is:
Inversely proportional to the setting time. This means that casts that set more slowly produce less heat at any one moment.
Directly proportional to the number of layers used. This means the more casting material used, the greater the amount of heat that will be produced.
3. Taking Care of the Cast
3-1. Monitor the arm for complications.
How long the cast will have to stay on will depend on how long it takes to heal. Children heal faster than adults do, but chances are that the cast will have to stay in place for several weeks. If you notice any of the following signs of complications, go to the emergency room to have the cast removed:
Increasing pain
Tingling
Numbness
Extreme swelling
White, blue, purple, or dusky colored fingers
Decreased blood flow
Loss of movement that was previously present in the fingers
Blistering or red skin under the cast
Fluid draining from the cast
A bad odor coming from the arm
A fever
3-2. Keep the cast dry.
Unless the doctor tells you that your cast is waterproof, you should keep it dry. If the cast gets wet, it can weaken or warp. This will make it less effective at protecting and stabilizing the bones. You can be sure to keep it dry by:
Covering it in a plastic bag when bathing
Wearing a raincoat or using an umbrella when you are outside in the rain.
3-3. Do not put anything into the cast.
As the arm heals, it may itch. However, you should avoid doing anything that may damage the cast or injure your arm. This means that you should not:
Insert anything like a pen inside the cast to scratch. This may damage the inside of the cast or, if you cut yourself, cause the skin to become infected.
Put anti-itch medicines inside the cast. This includes baby powder, lotions, creams, or anti-itch oils.
3-4. Do not pull on the soft lining or break off pieces of the cast.
If the cast gets damaged or broken, call the doctor to get a new one put on.
As the arm heals, a child may stop being as careful with the arm that is in the cast. Inspect the cast regularly to make sure that it has no cracks or tears in it.
If you have a cast that you can write on, ask family and friends to sign it with encouraging messages.

Keep the cast dry.\\nUnless the doctor tells you that your cast is waterproof, you should keep it dry. If the cast gets wet, it can weaken or warp. This will make it less effective at protecting and stabilizing the bones. You can be sure to keep it dry by:\\nCovering it in a plastic bag when bathing\\nWearing a raincoat or using an umbrella when you are outside in the rain.\\n3-3. Do not put anything into the cast.\\nAs the arm heals, it may itch. However, you should avoid doing anything that may damage the cast or injure your arm.

2,143 | How to Apply a Ceruse Finish | 1. Opening the Pores in the Wood
1-1. Choose pieces with a prominent natural grain.
Ceruse can be applied to any type of hardwood furniture, flooring, cabinet, shelving or even trim. Because it’s such a versatile finish, it makes a great way to spruce up old, humdrum wooden items and give them some contemporary flair. The key is to look for surfaces with distinct grain patterns that you can coax out with layers of color.
Experiment with used or salvaged pieces before attempting to refinish more expensive items.
Working in a bright, well-ventilated area will allow you to see in better detail and disperse the fumes from stains, pigments and sealants.
1-2. Strip and clean the wood.
Unless you’re starting with an unfinished piece of wood, you’ll first need to remove any paints and sealants that are already in place. Use mineral spirits or a chemical wood stripper to eat away at the existing finish. When the original wood has been uncovered, wipe it down with a mild soap solution.
Adding moisture to the stripped wood will cause the grain to expand, helping it stand out after being buried beneath a sealed finish for so long.
Make sure the surface is completely dry before you move on.
1-3. Buff the wood with an orbit sander.
If you have access to an automated sander, it can be a big help for removing leftover bits of finish and smoothing out the wood. Run the sander lightly over the surface, buffing the grain to an even depth. You’ll now have a nice level base to start with.
Use a soft-bristled brush or blower to clear away dust.
Sanding is also a great way to remove the finish from varnished wood so you won’t have to bother with messy, noxious chemical strippers.
1-4. Brush the wood with a wire brush.
Run the brush along the length of the wooden surface, making sure to go with the grain. You’ll need to brush vigorously in order to properly open up the pores—don’t be afraid to really dig in. Work from one end to the other, applying the same amount of pressure all the way across.
As you work, you should immediately be able to see the grain becoming more pronounced.
Brushing against the grain can ruin its appearance, and may make it harder for the pigment to set up inside.
2. Applying the Stain
2-1. Choose a color.
For a custom ceruse finish, any shade will do. You can make old, outdated furniture pop by reimagining it in vibrant teal or purple tones, or go with a darker shade like black, walnut or steel gray for a more subtle, sleek finish. The color you choose will be totally dependent on your vision for the completed piece.
You can also use aniline dye in place of traditional wood stain, which will change the color of the outer surface without filling the grain.
Blend together different stains to create a unique original color.
2-2. Soak up the stain with an applicator rag.
Ball up the rag and grip the loose ends in one hand. Then, saturate the bunched end with stain and let the excess drip off into the container. That way, you'll get the perfect amount of coverage with every application.
As their name implies, stains can get very messy. Pull on a pair (or a couple pairs) of disposable gloves before you begin applying the color.
2-3. Spread a thin layer of stain over the surface of the wood.
Starting at one edge of the piece, begin rubbing on the stain. Go back over the wet stain using smooth polishing motions to work it deep into the wood. Continue applying the stain until the entire piece is covered.
Just like when you were brushing, following the wood’s natural grain pattern will make for the best results.
Be careful not to apply the stain too heavily. There should be no wet spots or standing moisture on the wood.
2-4. Allow the stain to dry for at least 4-6 hours.
Avoid touching the surface of the wood while it’s still wet, as this can leave streaks or blotches. If possible, keep a fan running in your workspace to promote airflow around the drying stain. After the first few hours, you can test stain’s progress by dabbing it gently with a cloth.
If you’ve stained a piece on multiple sides, setting it on a dropcloth to dry will keep the stain from rubbing off on other objects.
It may be easiest to do your staining on one day and save the remaining steps for another.
3. Filling and Sealing the Wood Grain
3-1. Apply the pigment.
Brush a thin layer of pigment directly over the entire surface of the piece. This can be done with either a wide painter’s brush or a piece of cheesecloth. Be sure to mix the pigment thoroughly before you begin and use long, smooth strokes to ensure that it goes on evenly.
In most cases, a basic white shade will stand out most clearly in the wood grain.
Alternatives to plain pigment you can try include interior latex paint and white liming wax. All of these materials will be applied in the same fashion.
3-2. Strip the pigment to reveal the grain underneath.
Using a handful of steel wool, lightly scour the wood while it’s still wet. This will lift most of the pigment from the outer surface while leaving the pigment in the grain untouched. The end result is a rich, complex finish that’s distinguished by the depth of color within the grain.
Select a very fine steel wool (like #000 grade) to strip away more pigment without damaging the wood underneath.
Wipe off excess pigment on the surface of the wood with a soft, damp cloth.
3-3. Leave the finish to dry.
Depending on the size of piece, it will most likely require 12-24 hours to completely cure. During this time, it’s best not to handle wood.
Store the drying piece in dry, temperate conditions. Humidity may cause the wood to swell and interfere with the pigment’s ability to dry.
3-4. Sand the wood smooth.
Once the remaining paint is dry, go over the entire surface with a square of high-grit sandpaper. This will work out rough spots and inconsistencies to give the finished piece a more uniform appearance. It will also give you an opportunity to chip away at areas where the pigment is a little too thick.
Sanding will also help remove unattractive chalky residue from the lighter colored pigment from the outside of the wood.
Avoid applying too much pressure with the sandpaper, or you could accidentally scrape off some of the pigment.
3-5. Seal the finish.
Brush on a clear coat to protect the wood and seal the exposed pores, then let it dry overnight. Once the sealant cures, the elegant finish will be resistant to moisture, dirt and minor bumps and scratches. Enjoy the revamped look of your dining table, bureau or kitchen cabinets!
If you’re adding a ceruse finish to outdoor furniture, choose a durable varnish that’s formulated to safeguard against the elements.
Tips
Ceruse makes an alluring finish for hardwoods with prominent natural grain, such as oak and ash.
If you’re using interior paint as the outer pigment, you’ll need to thin it out a bit by mixing four parts paint with one part paint thinner.
Get creative when deciding where to use ceruse—it can be used to great effect on doors, store chests, garden planters or even around a vanity mirror.
Warnings
Don’t attempt to apply a ceruse finish to soft varieties of wood like pine or cedar. These types of wood are too absorbent to hold stains and pigments effectively.

2,144 | How to Apply a Charcoal Mask | 1. Preparing Your Face For the Charcoal Mask
1-1. Select a high-quality charcoal mask.
Buy a charcoal mask from a well-known skincare or makeup brand. Look for charcoal masks that contain activated charcoal, soothing agents (such as aloe vera), and essential oils that can calm the skin.
If you choose to make your own homemade charcoal mask, avoid using superglue. Superglue contains ingredients that can cause the mask to harden, which will damage your skin when you remove it.
1-2. Test your skin for a reaction.
Whether you're mixing your charcoal mask or purchasing a mask mixture, check your skin for allergic reactions or irritation before you apply it to your face. Apply a little of the mask onto your cheek or the underside of your wrist. Wait 10 minutes and check for signs of irritation.
Signs of allergy or irritation include redness, swelling, hives, or itchiness.
1-3. Tie your hair back, if necessary.
If you're concerned that your hair might swing into your face while you have the mask on, use a hair tie to pull it back. This will prevent your hair from sticking to the charcoal mask.
1-4. Cleanse and exfoliate your face before you use the mask.
Use your favorite gentle cleanser to wash your skin. Washing your face removes dirt and oil on your skin to prepare it for the mask. To open your pores, you should also apply a mild exfoliant and rinse it off before you apply the mask.
2. Applying the Charcoal Mask to Your Face
2-1. Spread the charcoal mask on your face.
Squirt a quarter-sized amount of the mask into a small bowl. Dip a clean brush into the mixture and spread it evenly across your skin. You can apply it over your face or just on blemish-prone areas. Consider spreading it on your t-zone (between your nose and forehead) if you have acne or blackheads.
You can use a wide, flat foundation brush or one made specifically for applying masks. If you don't have a brush, you can use clean fingertips to apply the mask.
Try to be as gentle as you can when you spread the charcoal mask on blemish-prone areas to avoid irritation.
2-2. Avoid spreading the mask near your eyes and lips.
Because the skin around your eyes and lips is delicate, don't apply the charcoal mask to them. Apply the mask while you're standing in front of a mirror. This way you can see exactly where you're spreading the mask.
2-3. Wait for 7 to 10 minutes.
The mask should dry completely and it will probably feel tight or itchy on your skin. If the mask begins to feel uncomfortable or painful, you should wash it off without waiting for the full 10 minutes to pass.
2-4. Peel off the charcoal mask.
Start at the bottom of the mask and slowly peel upwards towards the top of your face. If you only applied the mask to your t-zone, you can peel near the sides of your nose and pull up towards your forehead.
2-5. Wash and moisturize after you use the mask.
You might notice small bits of the black charcoal mask left on your face. Wash your skin with a gentle cleanser and rinse it off with cool water. Apply a gentle moisturizer that won't clog your pores and let your skin air dry.
2-6. Use a charcoal mask every 2 weeks or less.
To limit skin irritation, consider using the charcoal mask just when you have zits or blemishes. Because the charcoal mask will remove the topmost layer of skin and hair from your face, you should wait at least 2 weeks before doing another charcoal mask.
If you have eczema or sensitive skin, avoid using charcoal masks, which could damage your skin.

2,145 | How to Apply a Chemical Peel | 1. Selecting Your Chemical Peel
1-1. Buy from a reputable company with good reviews.
If possible, get a chemical peel kit from a spa or dermatologist’s office. If you shop online, be sure to check user reviews to see what customers are saying. Only buy a chemical peel from a reputable company with excellent user reviews.
Choose a product made in an FDA-regulated lab that is certified to be 99% pure or better.
Make sure the product contains a phone number for customer service. You should be able to call and ask questions if you need to.
1-2. Select the type of peel based on your needs.
Different chemical peels are better for different needs and skin types. Choose the right peel for you:
Glycolic acid peels: improve acne, blackheads, and dark spots; can decrease the appearance of fine lines and make skin smoother; are a light peel with little or no down time, but are harsher than lactic acid
Lactic acid peels: the best choice for hyperpigmentation, and good for first time users because it’s the gentlest option; fades dark marks and smoothes skin; can be used on all skin types, and better than glycolic acid for dry skin
TCA (trichloroacetic acid) peels: stronger and more painful, will cause peeling, and requires 7-10 days of recovery; can improve shallow acne scars, stretch marks, skin tags, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles
1-3. Choose the lowest concentration for your first time.
If this is your first time using a chemical peel, use the lowest concentration of chemical possible. Gradually increase the strength as your skin gets used to it, if you want to. Choose a formula that contains this low percent of the active ingredient:
30% lactic acid
30% glycolic acid
8% TCA
2. Preparing for Your Peel
2-1. Stop using tretinoin-based products for a week.
Stop using any products that contain tretinoin, like Retin-A or Differin, at least a week before your chemical peel. These products can irritate your skin, which could impact the outcome of your peel.
For glycolic acid and lactic acid peels, discontinue there products for 3-4 days before and after your peel.
For TCA peels, stop using them for 5 days before and 10 days after your peel.
2-2. Gently exfoliate your face the day before your peel.
Perform a mild exfoliation treatment 24 hours prior to your treatment, using a gentle facial scrub. After washing your skin, apply a pH solution to prepare your skin for the peel.
2-3. Do a spot test before applying your peel.
Apply a dab of the chemical peel to your forearm or to the area of skin below your ear at the hairline. Leave the solution on for at least a minute before washing it off. Check the patch test after 24 hours to make sure your skin doesn’t react negatively to the peel.
If your skin looks normal around the test area, proceed with your chemical peel. If your skin is irritated, red, or tender, lower the concentration of the active ingredient (glycolic, lactic or trichloroacetic acid) in the peel solution and try another test. If you get to the lowest concentration of chemicals and still see a reaction, do not do the chemical peel.
If you have any signs of an allergic reaction, like itching or hives, do not use the chemical peel.
Apply the peel with a Q-tip – using your fingers may make your fingers peel.
3. Using the Chemical Peel Appropriately
3-1. Cleanse your face before applying the chemical peel solution.
Use water and a soap-free cleanser to wash your face. Finish with an application of a mild astringent such as witch hazel, or the prep solution that came with your chemical peel kit. Let the prep solution dry before you apply your peel.
3-2. Protect sensitive areas with petroleum jelly.
Avoid applying the peel to sensitive areas of your skin such as around your eyes, your nostrils, and the corners of your lips. Before applying your peel, dab some petroleum jelly onto these areas to help protect them from the acid.
3-3. Apply an even coat of the chemical peel solution to your skin.
Use a cotton ball, cotton swab, small brush or Q-tip for the application process. Start with the less sensitive areas of skin around the forehead, chin and cheeks. Continue to apply the chemical peel to the lower eyelids, nose and neck area.
Make sure the solution is applied evenly, or your chemical peel results will be inconsistent.
3-4. Leave the peel on for the recommended amount of time or less.
Most chemical peel kits recommend no more than 1 to 2 minutes, depending on the type of peel and the concentration of chemicals in the solution. Read the label before applying your peel so you know how long to wait. If your skin starts turning pink, wash the peel off.
Watch your skin for signs of irritation. While some burning is normal, if your skin begins to sting intensely, remove the peel solution right away.
Use the spot test to determine how long to leave your peel on your face. If your spot test burns after two minutes, only apply it to your face for one minute.
3-5. Remove the peel and apply a neutralizing solution.
Many kits come with a neutralizing solution that stops the work of the chemicals so they do not continue to burn your skin. If your kit does not come with a neutralizer, that means your peel is designed to stop working as soon as it is washed off, and an additional solution is not needed.
Read the instructions in your chemical peel kit to confirm if a neutralizer is needed.
To be safe, you can prepare your own mixture of water and baking soda to use as a neutralizer, in case the peel becomes too irritating. Mix this into a paste and apply it to your skin after you wash off your peel, if needed.
3-6. Use a stronger peel only once you’re used to it.
If your peel goes well and you want to use a stronger peel in the future, you have some options. Always do a spot test before applying your full peel. Try one of these options to strengthen your peel:
Use a formula with a higher percentage of the active ingredient
Layer your peels – apply a layer, wait 5 minutes, and apply another layer
4. Performing After-Care
4-1. Apply moisturizer to your face right after your peel.
Liberally apply some facial moisturizer to your skin after you remove your chemical peel. Use your normal face moisturizer, or get a thoroughly hydrating solution for this purpose. Re-apply this 10-20 times throughout the day – don’t let your skin dry out.
If you peel, don’t pick at it! Let your skin heal naturally or you might damage it. Dab Vaseline or Aquaphor over areas that are very dry.
4-2. Ease redness with cooling products.
It’s normal for your skin to be red and to sting after your peel. This may only last a few hours, or the whole day. Soothe redness by wrapping a cold wet towel over your face. You can also try aloe vera gel, a cooling mask, ice packs, or putting a cool mist humidifier in your room.
4-3. Protect your face from the sun.
Your skin will be sensitive and tender after your chemical peel. Stay out of the sun until this subsides. If you do go in the sun, wear sunscreen on your face.
4-4. Wash your face gently twice a day.
Rinse your face twice a day with soap-less cleanser or water, for 10-30 seconds. Rinse your face with lukewarm water by splashing water onto your face over the sink. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel. Do NOT rub your skin.
4-5. Sleep on your back.
Avoid pressing your face into anything or rubbing your face until the skin heals. Sleep on your back so you don’t rub your cheek or forehead on the pillow.
4-6. See your doctor if your skin crusts or oozes.
See your doctor right away if you have signs of an infection. This can be an area of skin that looks especially crusty and tender, yellow, or that oozes fluid.
Tips
You will probably need to do multiple chemical peels before you start to see results.[13]
X
Research source
TCA peels are especially harsh and will leave your skin red and sensitive for longer than lactic acid or glycolic acid peels. Use after-care protocol for as long as your skin is irritated – especially moisturizing and staying out of the sun.[14]
X
Research source
Chemical peels can be done on anyone, so it doesn’t matter if you have darker skin. More preparation and aftercare has to be put into it but darker skin individuals can get chemical treatments.
Warnings
Do not leave a chemical peel on your face for too long, or skin damage and burning can result. Watch your skin and the clock to ensure you get the full benefits of your peel without any negative side effects.
Chemical peels work best for people with light skin. They may cause darkening or lightening of the skin in darker-skinned individuals.
This is a potentially dangerous procedure that you should get done professionally, if possible. Keep it away from children.
Do NOT get the chemical peel in your eyes.
Do a gentle peel like 30% glycolic acid or lactic acid every 2-3 weeks at the MOST. Only do a deeper peel like TCA once a month at the most.[15]

2,146 | How to Apply a Cold Compress | 1. Evaluating the Injury
1-1. Assess all injuries before deciding on a treatment.
There are a multitude of injuries that call for a cold compress. Most of these are minor bumps and bruises that don't require further medical attention. Some, like fractures, dislocations, and concussions, require emergency medical treatment. If you are at all unsure, visit the doctor or emergency room to receive the correct diagnosis and treatment.
1-2. Check for a fractured bone
A fracture is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment. You can apply a cold compress to a broken bone to reduce swelling and pain. This should only be while you're waiting for help from a medical professional, and not in place of medical treatment. If you have any of the following symptoms, either call 911 or get to the emergency room:
A deformed or misshapen body part. For example, a visible bend in the forearm would indicate a broken arm.
Severe pain that gets worse when the body part is moved or pressure is applied.
Loss of function in the injured area. Often the area below a broken bone will lose some or all motion. Someone with a broken leg may find it difficult to move his foot.
Bone protruding from the skin. Some serious fractures push the broken bone through the skin.
1-3. Check for a dislocation.
A dislocation is when one or both of the bones that form a joint are forced from their normal positions. This also requires medical attention. You can apply a cold compress while waiting for medical help, just like with a broken bone. If you exhibit the following symptoms, keep the area immobile, apply a cold compress, and seek medical help:
A visibly deformed or out of place joint.
Bruising or swelling around a joint.
Severe pain.
Immobility. It is often difficult or impossible to move areas below the dislocated joint.
1-4. Examine for a concussion.
While ice packs are often applied for bumps and bruises on the head, you should make sure that you aren't suffering from a concussion. This is a serious injury that requires immediate medical attention. It may be difficult to evaluate yourself for a concussion, so someone else should check you for the following symptoms and seek medical help if a concussion is suspected:
Loss of consciousness. Even if you only lose consciousness for a few seconds, this could be a sign of a serious injury and you should seek medical help immediately.
Severe headache.
Confusion, dizziness, and disorientation.
Nausea or vomiting.
Ringing in ears.
Slurred or labored speech.
1-5. Decide on heat or ice for treatment.
When you've properly evaluated the injury and ensured that there is no medical emergency, you can decide on the right course of treatment. For minor injuries, people often ask if heat or cold is the ideal treatment. Both are useful in different situations.
Apply ice directly after an injury takes place. Within the first 48 hours of an injury, ice is usually the best treatment. It will help reduce swelling, pain, and signs of inflammation.
Heat is useful for sore muscles not associated with a specific injury. You can also apply heat to your muscles before an activity or sport that often makes you sore to loosen and warm them up.
2. Applying the Cold Compress
2-1. Select a cold compress.
When it comes to cold compresses, you have several options. Some of these are available in drug stores and some you can make yourself. While there are unique advantages and drawbacks to each, all work essentially the same way — by keeping an injury cold to prevent swelling and inflammation.
Gel-based ice packs. These are full of gel that stays cold when placed in the freezer. Typically these compresses get much colder than the other options since they stay in the freezer. They are also reusable, which is appealing for cost purposes. However, they generally can only be used at home since they start heating up when taken out of the freezer.
Instant cold packs. These are filled with two different chemicals separated by plastic. When squeezed, the plastic breaks, causing the two chemicals to react and get cold. Unlike gel packs, these are portable and can be used anywhere as long as the chemicals haven't touched each other yet. This makes them ideal to have on hand for sporting events. They aren't reusable, however.
Homemade ice bags. Take a large plastic bag and fill it with ice cubes. Then fill it with just enough water to cover the ice cubes. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag. These are good in a pinch if you don't have a store-bought ice pack. However, they don't last as long and the condensation on the outside of the bag can get you wet.
Bags of frozen vegetables. Use bags of smaller vegetables, such as peas or corn, since they will be easier to wrap around the wounded area. Wrap the bag in a cloth before putting it against your skin. You can leave the compress on for up 20 minutes.
Ice towels. This is another homemade method you can use. Wet a towel and then wring it out so that it's just damp. Place it in a plastic bag and then leave it in the freezer for 15 minutes. You can then wrap it around the injured area. This option also won't last very long so you'll have to keep putting it in the freezer to keep it cold.
2-2. Elevate the injured body part.
This will help drain blood away from the area and fight swelling. Ideally, the body part should be lifted above the heart. So for example, if your wrist is injured, lie back on a couch and place your arm up on the high part.
2-3. Wrap the compress in a towel.
This is important because if the compress directly touches the skin, it can lead to frostbite. Make sure that for the entire duration of the treatment, the compress remains separated from the skin by a towel.
2-4. Apply the compress.
Press it down to ensure that the entire affected area receives adequate icing.
If necessary, you can secure the ice pack with a non-stick bandage or wrap. Loosely wrap this around the ice pack and the injured area. Be sure not to tie this too tight, or you could cut off circulation. If the limb starts to turn blue/purple, the wrap is too tight and should be removed immediately. Keep in mind that a tingling sensation does not necessarily indicate the wrap is too tight — this sensation may be caused by the injury itself.
2-5. Remove the compress after 15 or 20 minutes.
Don't leave it on any longer than this or you risk frostbite. Make certain that you don't fall asleep while wearing the compress, which could result in you keeping it on for several hours and damaging your skin. Either set an alarm or have someone alert you after 20 minutes.
If you used a chemical cold pack, discard it after use. Check to see that your compress can be simply thrown away and does not contain materials that need to be disposed of in a specific way.
If you used a gel pack or towel, place it back in the freezer to prepare it for your next round of treatment.
2-6. Repeat the process in two hours.
Make sure that the affected area is no longer numb. If so, wait until you regain feeling to reapply the compress. Continue alternating the treatment of 20 minutes on, two hours off, for three days or until swelling completely subsides.
2-7. Visit the doctor if your symptoms don't improve.
If you've been treating your injury with ice for three days and there is still swelling and no reduction in pain, you may have a fracture or dislocation that wasn't recognized. Visit the doctor to see if you have a more serious injury than you initially expected.
Tips
Although headaches aren't accompanied by swelling, a cold compress on the forehead, across the sinuses, or at the nape of the neck, can ease the pain.
Warnings
Never chill a chemical cold pack before activating it. Chilling can result in the pack becoming too cold to be safely applied to the skin.
Always seek medical attention for serious injuries before self-treating. If you suspect a broken bone or dislocated limb, you should see a doctor.

2,147 | How to Apply a Color Rinse | 1. Determine Your Coloring Time
1-1. Separate out a test strand.
Take a small area about the width of your finger from your under layer on the back of your head and clip the rest of your hair up away from the strand. This hidden strand will let you test the color in an inconspicuous place.
1-2. Apply color.
Place the swatch of hair in a plastic bowl. Apply the color rinse solution to the hair evenly, using enough product to completely saturate it. Be careful not to get any on your hands or clothes.
1-3. Wait 10-15 minutes.
If the hair you are coloring has been permed, relaxed, or previously dyed, wait for only 10 minutes. If the hair you are testing has not been chemically treated, wait for 15 minutes. Use a kitchen timer or set a timer on your phone.
1-4. Remove color rinse solution.
Take the swatch of hair out of the bowl, and using a paper towel, wipe the color rinse solution away. Dampen your paper towel with a tiny bit of water, and wipe it a second time.
1-5. Add more color.
If you are not yet satisfied with the intensity of the color, return the swatch of hair to the coloring product left in the bowl. Continue checking the strand of hair's color every few minutes. Make a note of your hair's coloring time. This is the length of time you will color the rest of your hair.
In general, you should only about 20 more minutes.
However for stubborn gray hair, this could take up to 45 minutes.
2. Preparing for Your Color Rinse
2-1. Wash your hair.
Shampoo your hair with a clarifying shampoo 12 to 24 hours before doing the color rinse. This will remove any build-up from styling products and allow for a nice even color. For best results, use a clarifying shampoo (such as Neutrogena Clarifying Shampoo) to remove build-up.
2-2. Dry your hair.
Hair should be completely dry when applying color to it. Wash your hair with enough time to allow it to air dry (thus inflicting less damage on your hair), or if you are short on time, use a blow dryer.
2-3. Change your clothes.
Any type of hair dye, including a color rinse, can seriously damage your clothes. Change into clothes that you are not afraid to ruin, such as an old t-shirt you no longer wear.
You can also put on a cape or smock to help protect your clothes or give your skin an extra layer of protection. These are available from most beauty supplies stores.
2-4. Create a “hair dye” area.
Just as with your clothing, color rinse products can damage your home. Place an old towel under your feet and another one on your bathroom counter. This will help you avoid dying your bathroom the color of your hair.
2-5. Wear gloves.
Anytime you are dealing with dye products, it is a good idea to wear rubber gloves. Color rinse solution can stain your hands (particularly your fingernails) for several days or even a week. Be sure to wear some kind of gloves. Disposable rubber gloves or plastic dishwashing gloves will work great.
3. Performing the Color Rinse
3-1. Apply color.
Begin by applying color at the temples, hairlines, or wherever your hair is most gray. Then, parting your hair in ¼ inch sections, apply the color to your roots, and then work through to the ends. Use your gloved fingers to help distribute the color throughout your hair, but do not rub the color into your scalp.
If you have long or thick locks, try separating your hair into four sections before coloring. This give you more control while you color, and a more even rinse afterwards.
3-2. Remove any excess product.
Use a damp paper towel to wipe away any color product that gets on your skin or a household surface. Pay particular attention to an excess product around your hairline, on the top of your ears, or on the back of your neck.
3-3. Set a timer.
Let the color remain on your hair for the length of time determined by your color test. (Remember, in general, chemically treated hair will need less time than non-chemically treated hair.) Set a timer and wait the allotted time.
3-4. Lather your hair.
After waiting the appropriate time, add a little bit of warm water to your hair. Massage your hair gently to work the water and hair coloring product into a lather.
3-5. Rinse.
Dip your head into the sink, under running water. Use your gloved hands to guide the product out of your hair. Rinse your hair thoroughly until the water looks clear.
3-6. Condition your hair.
If your hair is dry, has been chemically treated, or is otherwise damaged, you will probably need to condition. Add conditioner to your hair, focusing on the tips, and avoiding the scalp. Allow the conditioner to set for a few minutes before rinsing.
Once the conditioner has set, rinse it out using cool water. This helps close the cuticle of the hair, keeping it soft and shiny longer.
Tips
Always conduct the strand test to find your required wait time before coloring all of your hair.
Discard any unused hair color. Using leftover hair color at a later time may produce different results.
For hair that has been recently permed or relaxed, wait at least 1 week and 1 shampoo before applying color to hair. Coloring time may be shorter than average.
Warnings
Do not use coloring on your hair if you experience any itching, burning, develop redness, a rash or any other allergic reaction on your skin or scalp.
After applying color to your hair, do not shampoo your hair again until at least 24 hours later to help the hair color last longer.

2,148 | How to Apply a Dry Rub to Steak | 1. Choosing Steaks and Making the Rub
1-1. Choose ⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) thick cut steaks.
The flavor of very thin steaks can easily be overwhelmed by a dry rub. Choose steaks that are at least ⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) thick. Look for cuts of steak that are well marbled with little or no connective tissue. Great choices are ribeye steaks, t-bone steaks, New York strip steak, and sirloin steaks.
Thicker steaks may take longer to cook.
1-2. Put your dry rub ingredients in a container that can be sealed with a lid.
Pour all of your dry rub ingredients into a container. Brown sugar, paprika, cumin, onion and garlic powder, mustard powder, chili flakes, cayenne, and thyme are some of the herbs and spices most commonly used in a rub. Add 1 tbsp (15 g) of each ingredient if you're creating a custom recipe.
You can also follow one of the included recipes.
1-3. Shake up your dry rub to combine the ingredients together.
Put a lid on your container and make sure it is sealed. Shake up your rub to combine the spices together. Make sure they are combined evenly.
Use a fork to whisk the ingredients together if you are worried they did not get evenly combined.
2. Flavoring and Cooking Your Steaks
2-1. Apply a generous amount of rub to each side of the steak with your hands.
Work with 1 steak at a time. Grab a generous amount of spice rub from the bowl. Rub it into 1 side of the steak using your fingers. Cover the entire side of the steak evenly. Turn the steak over and apply the rub to the other side as well.
If you have a large cut of meat, use a spoon to sprinkle dry rub over it before rubbing it in instead of taking small handfuls at a time.
2-2. Rub dry rub on the sides of the steaks.
Pinch a small amount of dry rub in between your fingers. Drop it carefully over the sides 1 steak. Use your fingers to rub the spices into the meat. Make sure all of the steak is covered, leaving no meat untouched. Rub spices onto the sides of the other steaks as well.
The more you rub your spices into the steak, the more flavorful it will be.
2-3. Let the steaks sit in the fridge for at least 40 minutes or overnight.
Depending on how much time you have, let the rub sit on the steak for at least 40 minutes or overnight. 40 minutes will allow the salt from the rub to soak into the meat, while letting it sit overnight will allow the steak to absorb more of the flavor and spice from your rub.
Cover the steaks in foil or plastic if you will be leaving it in your fridge overnight.
2-4. Cook the steaks until they are to your liking.
Use a grill, oven, or pan to cook your steaks. Flip the steaks about halfway through your cook-time to make sure they get evenly cooked throughout. Steaks can be rare, medium-rare, or well-done.
Save the rest of your dry rub for up to a month in an airtight container as long as it has not touched raw meat.
Tips
Let the steaks get up to room temperature before you start grilling so that they cook faster.

2,149 | How to Apply a Fentanyl Patch | 1. Identifying and Cleaning an Appropriate Area
1-1. Pick a spot that is free of hair so the patch sticks better.
A spot on your upper arm, your back, lower abdomen (belly), or your thighs are all ideal. Do not use an area close to your mouth, eyes, or nose, even if it has little to no hair, as this can put you at risk of ingesting or absorbing the medication too quickly. You should rotate what sites you use.
1-2. Make sure the area has no cuts, scratches, or irritation.
Your skin should be free of any abrasions and not be too oily, as you do not want the medication to absorb too quickly into your body or to fall off.
1-3. If you sweat a lot normally, use medical tape along the patch edges to secure the patch to your skin.
If a patch becomes loose, just tape it down. If the patch falls on the ground, you should put on a new patch as soon as you can.
1-4. Clean the area with water and pat it dry.
Use cold running water to clean the area or wipe it with a clean wet cloth. Then, pat it dry with a clean cloth or gauze. The area will need to be dry and cool so the patch can stick to your skin.
Do not use any soaps or cleansers on the area, as they can react with the medication.
2. Putting on the Patch
2-1. Protect your hands from absorbing any of the medication by putting on medical gloves.
Keep in mind you will still need to wash your hands well after applying the patch even if you are wearing medical gloves to ensure you are not exposed to the medication.
2-2. Open the package with scissors.
Fentanyl patches will come in sealed packages that must be opened with scissors. Cut the package open, making sure you do not to cut or tear the patch inside. You can tear the top of the package and lift the patch out.
2-3. Each patch has a front and back covering of loose plastic.
Remove both. Note that these are not the liner (the liner, split through the center, sits right on the patch).
2-4.
Never put on patches that have been cut or torn, as this can put you at risk of an overdose.
You will need to apply the patch once the package has been opened. Do not open a package unless you are going to use it right away.
2-5. Hold the patch on the non-adhesive side and peel off the liner.
Grip the patch between your fingers on the non-adhesive side and carefully peel off the liner on the sticky side. The liner should have 2 parts so you can hold the non-adhesive side and peel off 1 half easily.
2-6. Press the patch onto the skin, holding for at least 30 seconds.
Use your hand to press the patch onto the skin firmly, just like you would an adhesive bandage. Remove the second half of the liner as you press on the patch so it can sit flat on the skin. Then, press the patch with the palm of your hand so it stays in place.
Make sure the adhesive side is attached to the skin, especially around the edges of the patch.
2-7. If required, put on a second patch away from the first patch.
If your healthcare provider recommends that you use more than 1 Fentanyl patch at a time, always apply the second patch on a different spot on your body, preferably on the side opposite of where the first one is. Make sure the patches do not overlap or touch, as this can put you at risk of an overdose.
It is rare that your healthcare provider would prescribe more than 1 Fentanyl patch at a time, as the medication is very strong and may not be safe in large doses. Only apply more than 1 patch at a time under your healthcare provider’s recommendations.
2-8. Wash your hands with just water after applying the patch.
Clean your hands with cold water, even if you wore gloves. Do not use any soaps or cleansers, as this can interact with any medication on your hands.
2-9. Write down the time and date you applied the patch.
It’s easy to forget when you put the patch on, but it’s important that you don’t leave it on for more than 3 days. Therefore, write the date and time down right after you apply a new patch You can write directly on the patch using a felt-tipped marker/ pen or Sharpie(TM), or record the information in a notebook.
3. Caring for the Patch
3-1. Do not expose the patch to heat.
Do not put heating pads, electric blankets, or hot compresses on the patch. You should also stay away from saunas, hot tubs, heated waterbed, or direct sunlight. Heat can cause your body to absorb the medication too quickly or in high amounts.
3-2. Wear loose clothing over the patch.
Go for clothing in breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. Make sure you wear loose clothing when you workout or exercise, as you do not want your body, or the area with the patch, to become overheated.
3-3. Secure the edges of the patch with medical tape if they start to peel off.
Line the edges of the patch with medical tape so it stays on. Make sure you wash your hands with water after you have secured the patch.
If the patch does not seem secure, properly remove it and replace it with a new patch. Don’t forget to note the new time and date on the patch or in a notebook.
3-4. Be careful if you must replace a patch.
Overlapping doses of patches can cause a cumulative effect-- it can add to the dose. If you have dry mouth, dry eyes, you may have triggered an overdose. Get your doctor's advice and follow it.
3-5. Watch for signs of an overdose while wearing the patch.
Notice if you have trouble breathing or have shallow breathing. You may feel very sleepy or fatigued and be unable to talk, walk, or think properly. You may also have feelings of dizziness, faintness, or confusion. If you display any of these symptoms, remove the patch immediately, administer Narcan and call 911 or contact your healthcare provider right away.
4. Removing the Patch
4-1. Keep the patch on for no longer than 72 hours (3 days).
You may keep the patch on for a shorter amount of time if directed to do so by your healthcare provider. To keep track of how long you have worn the patch, write down the time and date you put on the patch in a safe place so you know when to take it off. Or, simply change your patch at around the same time of day.
4-2. Put gloves on before removing the patch.
Keep in mind you will still need to wash your hands after removing it, even though you are wearing gloves.
4-3. Remove the patch carefully and fold it together.
Fold the patch together so the sticky sides meet. This will help to prevent exposing the medication to others.
This is an important step if you have children or pets at home, as you do not want them to be exposed to the medication.
4-4. Dispose of the patch in a plastic bag right away.
You should not flush the patch down the toilet; waste treatment plants do not get chemicals from medication out of treated water. You can seal the folded patch in a plastic bag and dispose of it in the garbage.
Wash your hands with water after disposing of the patch.
4-5. Put on a new patch only as you have been instructed to by your healthcare provider.
Apply the new patch on a different place on your body, preferably a spot on the opposite side of where the old patch was. Only keep the new patch on for 3 days or less, or as instructed by your healthcare provider.
Tips
A home nurse can change the patch for you as well as assess the effectiveness of the patch for pain management.
If a Fentanyl patch makes you drowsy, speak to your healthcare provider about other brands that you could try.
Warnings
Do not drink alcohol while wearing a Fentanyl patch.
Avoid taking pain medication orally while wearing a Fentanyl patch, unless your doctor has given you oral medication for 'break-through' pain.

2,152 | How to Apply a French Polish | 1. Steps
1-1. Begin with a clean, perfectly smooth wood surface and a clean, dust-free, warm room.
Any imperfections in the wood or dust that settles onto the surface while you're working will show up in the polish. A cold room will cause the polish to be cloudy.
Make sure that the surface is clean before you get started—you can wipe down any sticky spills with a damp microfiber towel.
1-2. Mix 3 ounces of shellac flakes with 1 US-pint (470 ml) of denatured alcohol.
Keep the mixture in a tightly sealed container, pouring small amounts into a shallow bowl as you work. Although you can buy shellac already mixed, the fresher it is, the better the results will be. Use gloves when working with shellac.
1-3. Soak a wad of gauze in shellac, then place it inside a cotton cloth (a piece of an old bed sheet or white tee-shirt works well).
Tie up the ends of the cloth with string to make a sort of handle. Squeeze the pad to force most of the shellac out.
1-4. Add a few drops of olive oil to the pad.
You may want to use an eyedropper to keep from adding too much. The purpose of the oil is to keep the pad from drying out and sticking as you apply shellac. If the pad does start to stick, add another couple of drops of oil.
1-5. Apply the shellac to the wood surface in a gliding or sweeping motion, working one small area at a time, perhaps 2 square feet.
Gradually change to circular, then figure-8 motions. Each sweep will leave a thin layer of shellac, and your goal is to leave about 100 of these layers in one boding session.
The shellac will dry quickly, so using an improper motion will leave an imprint of the pad on the surface.
1-6. Build a fresh pad, then add a few drops shellac and several drops of alcohol to the cloth.
Begin your stiffing session by sweeping the pad in even strokes from one side to the other to smooth out any unevenness in the shellac. Take care not to remove any shellac.
1-7. Allow the work to sit for a couple of hours so any oil can come to the surface.
Then repeat the stiffing session to remove the oil. This is a separate step called spiriting.
1-8. Let the work sit for several hours so it can dry completely, then repeat the boding, stiffing and spiriting sessions.
You will do this several times to build up a thick shellac surface on the wood.
1-9. Polish the surface with rottenstone and olive oil.
Place the rottenstone in a salt shaker and sprinkle it on the surface, then apply a few drops of olive oil to a fresh pad and rub the entire surface until you're satisfied with its appearance.
1-10. Finish with a thin coat of furniture wax to help protect your French polish from damage.
Tips
A French polish can be applied over finished wood as long as it doesn't have an acrylic or similar coating that leaves a layer of plastic.
Warnings
Denatured alcohol is flammable.
Furniture with a French polish is beautiful, but easily marred.

2,153 | How to Apply a Full Coverage Foundation | 1. Moisturizing and Priming Your Skin
1-1. Wash your face
Cleanse your skin to get rid of any dead skin cells and residual makeup. If you have dry skin, exfoliate any areas of flakiness, which can make full-coverage makeup look cakey. A shower will also make your skin warm and moist, so it absorbs moisturizer well.
Avoid cleansers with alcohol in them, which can dry out your skin.
Choose a cleanser that is formulated for your skin type (oily, combination, dry) so you are preserving as much moisture as possible.
1-2. Apply a dime-sized amount of serum.
Pump the serum into your palm and rub it gently over your face and throat with your fingertips until it disappears. After cleansing, your moist skin is more permeable to the antioxidants and light moisturizing benefits a serum offers.
Serum hydrates and nourishes your skin, helping your full-coverage foundation wear better during the day.
Serum can help improve the quality and tone of your skin, reducing your need for full-coverage makeup over time.
1-3. Use a quarter-sized amount of a rich moisturizer.
Apply the facial moisturizer, smoothing it over your face and throat with your fingers until it has absorbed fully. Focus on any areas prone to dryness, such as the delicate skin around your nose or lips for fully hydrated skin.
Always use a moisturizer with at least 30 SPF during the day to protect your skin from the sun.
Moisturizer keeps full-coverage foundation from settling into your fine lines and creases or clinging to dry skin, which can make your application look obvious.
1-4. Apply a pea-sized amount of eye cream.
Dab your eye cream on the skin beneath each eye using your ring finger. Gently rub the eye cream in a sweeping motion around your orbital bone, from underneath each eye up onto your browbone.
Use your ring finger so you’re gentle with the delicate skin around your eyes. You’ll naturally use less pressure.
Eye cream is formulated for the delicate, dry skin around your eyes. Using an eye cream will keep your full-coverage foundation from settling into the fine lines around your eyes.
1-5. Apply a pea-sized amount of skin primer.
Apply the primer to your fingertips and rub it gently over your entire face. Pay particular attention to any areas with larger pores, such as your cheeks or around the base of your nose.
A primer provides a smooth base for your full-coverage foundation application. It will also help your makeup last longer than applying it directly to your skin.
There are lots of different kinds of primers, from those that reduce redness to those for mature skin. Go to your local beauty supply store and ask a store associate to help you select a primer based on your skin’s needs.
2. Putting on the Foundation
2-1. Mix a dab of moisturizer into your foundation.
Add half a pea-sized amount of your rich facial moisturizer to a quarter-sized amount of foundation in the palm of your hand. Use a fingertip to mix the moisturizer into your foundation until it is fully incorporated. An extra touch of moisture will help your foundation blend more seamlessly on your skin.
2-2. Dot your foundation on your cheeks and nose.
Use a fingertip to place one dot of your foundation mixture on your forehead, nose, each cheek, and your chin respectively. Avoid applying foundation to the edges of your face to start with.
Most people need less coverage as they reach their hairlines. Applying from the center outward will centralize coverage where you need it most.
2-3. Blend your foundation outwards with a makeup sponge.
Use a makeup sponge or beauty blender to dab your dots of foundation outward, spreading a thin layer of coverage over your entire face. Once the mixture is distributed, use your fingertips to smooth away any lines created by the edge of your blender or sponge obvious in your application.
2-4. Repeat the dot-and-blend process to add coverage.
If your first application is still too sheer for your taste, apply a second round of foundation dots. Blend outward to layer on additional coverage. Repeat this process as needed to reach your desired level of coverage.
2-5. Blend the outer edges of foundation at your jaw, hairline, and earlobes.
Smooth a little residual foundation over your earlobes with your fingertips. Using your fingertips, rub away any lines of demarcation at your jawline, smoothing excess foundation down your neck. Use a clean piece of toilet paper to remove excess foundation that may have colored any hair around your face.
2-6. Add a little moisturizer to any flaky skin.
Look over your foundation and notice if there are any areas of excess dryness. If yes, apply a pinhead-sized amount of rich moisturizer to the area using a fingertip.
A little extra moisture will hydrate your skin and blend flaky makeup.
3. Adding Finishing Touches
3-1. Use a concealer 1 shade lighter than your skin.
Buy a liquid concealer 1 shade lighter than your skin for the most natural look. This will help you cover any blemishes or trouble spots apparent through your full-coverage foundation.
Avoid choosing a concealer that matches your skin exactly, as it may darken rather than camouflage trouble spots.
Your local beauty supply store or department store associate can help match you for a concealer of the appropriate lightness.
3-2. Use your concealer to cover under-eye darkness.
Use a small, pointy makeup brush to dab concealer on the darkest point of your under eye circles, typically right below the inner and outer eye corners. Avoid applying concealer to your lower eyelid, which can collect product in its many creases.
If you feel you need additional under-eye coverage, focus your application on the shadow your dark circle creates in your tear trough rather than on the puffiness below the eye itself.
3-3. Use your fine concealer brush to touch up blemishes.
Examine your skin to notice any blemishes still poking through your full-coverage foundation. Apply concealer to the head of the blemish and directly underneath it to mask the dark shadow that a raised pimples can create.
Avoid applying lighter concealer above a blemish to cover it. This may actually highlight the blemish, making it appear more prominent.
3-4. Finish the look with a luminous powder.
Using a kabuki brush, dust the powder on in a W shape. Start at your hairline on one side and move down your cheekbone to the apple of the cheek, up the bridge of your nose, down the bridge of your nose to the other cheek, then up the opposite cheekbone to your hairline on the other side.
Avoid matte finishing powders, which can make your makeup look cakey.
Use a translucent powder with a little sheen to reflect the light and help your makeup look natural.
If you don’t have a kabuki brush, use the puff that comes with your powder. Before applying the powder, tap any excess powder off the puff on the side of the compact. Puffs can hold a more concentrated amount of product than a brush, and doing this will prevent you from applying excess product.

2,154 | How to Apply a Gauze Muzzle to a Dog | 1. Muzzling a Dog
1-1. Use a gauze muzzle for emergencies.
Gauze muzzles are not optimum for dogs. They are best reserved for emergencies, when there is absolutely no other option. You should also only use a homemade muzzle like a gauze muzzle temporarily.
Other materials that can become emergency muzzles include leashes, ropes, pantyhose, and so on.
Avoid having to use a homemade muzzle by keeping a real muzzle in your dog’s fist aid kit.
You can purchase a gauze roll bandage at any pharmacy (like Walgreens), drugstore, big box store (like Walmart), or most grocery stores.
Check your first aid kit. Many come with a roll of gauze.
1-2. Cut off a long strip of gauze bandage.
In an emergency, you want to create a gauze muzzle quickly. Get an idea for how much gauze you'll need by pulling out and cutting off a strip long enough to wind several times around your dog’s head. Before cutting the gauze, wrap it around your dog's head from under their chin to behind their ears. Then triple this length before cutting.
The length that you cut depends on the size of your dog’s head. You will obviously need a longer strip for a bigger dog.
Cutting off such a long length allows you extra in case you estimated the size of your dog’s head wrong.
1-3. Tie off a big loop in the middle.
Pull the strip of gauze out to its full length. Form a loop in the middle of the gauze strip. Tie a knot where this loop closes. You should now have a loop of gauze with long, loose ends on either side of the knot.
Make sure the knot is a slipknot so that you can tighten the loop once it is around the dog’s nose.
Tie a slipknot by creating a loop and pushing a second loop through it.
1-4. Advance toward the dog so they can’t see you.
You want to approach the dog with the loop open in your hands. In order to place the loop securely over your dog’s snout, make sure you approach from the back or the side. This way they can’t see you coming and will be less startled.
1-5. Consider training your dog to wear a muzzle.
Although you should restrict use of a gauze muzzle to emergencies, you might want to train your dog to use a muzzle. If a dog is trained, they will be less likely to become aggressive when you apply a gauze muzzle.
Use treats and gradual exposure techniques to train a dog to take a muzzle.
For example, you could smear the interior of a muzzle with a treat like peanut butter or wet dog food.
Play with the dog while they wear the muzzle so that they associate the muzzle with positive things.
Take short walks with the muzzle.
Do this muzzle training whenever you would normally walk your dog, such as every afternoon.
1-6. Slide the loop over the nose.
Before your dog has a chance to see what you are holding, slide the loop over their nose. Keep the center of the loop over the end of the dog’s nose for the best fit.
Slid the loop all the way back to the jaw line, where the snout meets the face.
1-7. Tighten the loop.
As soon as the loop is around the dog’s nose, tighten the loop firmly so that your dog cannot open his mouth. Bring the loose pieces of fabric around the snout and tie another loose knot on the bottom of the snout.
1-8. Tie the bandage behind the neck.
Once the loop is in place, pull the loose ends of the gauze behind the dog’s head. Cross one end over the other. Then tie the two ends in a bow that is easy to undo.
Since gauze muzzles are used only in emergencies, being able to remove them quickly is important.
2. Muzzling a Pug-Nosed Dog
2-1. Tie a loop in a long piece of gauze.
Just as you would for a dog with a long snout, cut off a long strip of gauze bandage. Make sure it is long enough to wind several times around your dog’s head. Then form a loop in the middle and tie a slipknot for it.
2-2. Place the knot under the chin.
For pug-nosed dogs, you must be sure to place the loop’s slipknot under their chin. Come up on the dog from behind or the side, then slip it under their nose. Keep the knot turned toward the floor so that it easily slides under the dog’s chin.
For longer snouts, the knot goes behind the ears.
2-3. Tie loose ends behind the ears.
Once the loop is on the dog’s nose, slide it back toward the jawline. Then pull the slipknot tight enough to keep the dog’s mouth shut. Quickly pull the loose ends back and tie them behind the ears.
Use a slipknot or bow so that the muzzle can be removed quickly.
2-4. Pull a loose end back through the nose loop.
For pug-nosed dogs, it is important to take one loose end and feed it back through the gauze tied around the dog’s snout. Pull this loose end across your dog’s forehead. Then slide it under the tightened loop at the top, right by the nose.
Feeding an end back through the loop keeps the muzzle from slipping off.
Keeping the muzzle on can be challenging on dogs with pug noses, and keeping it on is important.
3. Dealing with a Resistant Dog
3-1. Protect yourself from a violent dog.
If you need a muzzle a dog who is being violent, such as because they are afraid or in pain, approach with a very calm demeanor. Avoid making eye contact with the dog. Also make yourself appear bigger, such as holding an umbrella or sweater out in front of your body. Once the dog senses that you are not afraid and are not a threat, he may back down.
As soon as the dog backs down from its aggressive stance, slip on the muzzle and make it tight.
3-2. Be strong if a dog resists.
Your dog may resist or lunge while you put the muzzle on, which is likely if the dog is hurt or afraid. Bring someone along to help you keep the dog still while putting on the muzzle. Also consider wearing thick gloves and clothing to prevent the dog being able to bite you. Although you can restrain the dog physically, try instead to calm it down so that you can put the muzzle on without issue.
3-3. Tie on a muzzle when a dog is likely to bite.
A gauze muzzle is useful when your dog becomes unexpectedly aggressive. If you see evidence that your dog wants to bite another animal, quickly restrain them by tying on a gauze muzzle.
Signs that your dog is about to bite include tense posture, a flicking tongue, visible whites in the eyes, and so on.
3-4. Muzzle a frightened or injured dog.
When a dog becomes frightened or injured, getting them muzzled quickly is a priority. Dogs tend to bite when they are in extreme fear or pain. A quickly tied gauze muzzle will prevent injury while you try to help the dog.
A gauze muzzle can be especially helpful in a rescue situation.
3-5. Contain a dog for an exam.
If your dog needs to be quickly examined, such as after a rescue, a gauze muzzle provides a fast way to protect yourself from getting bitten. You can also use a gauze muzzle to quickly groom a dog.
You might want to groom a dog right after it has been rescued. A dog might be covered in mud, brambles, or other debris from traveling.
Tips
On the other hand, it might be easier to put on a gauze muzzle if a large dog is on the floor.
If you have a small dog, you may want to put it on a table. This might make it easier to tie on a gauze muzzle.
Warnings
Never put your face close to a muzzled dog.
Pain and fright can make any animal dangerous, so be careful.

2,156 | How to Apply a Hair Mask | 1. Applying the Mask Thoroughly
1-1. Read the directions carefully.
Many commercial hair masks come with special instructions. Some may only be designed for weekly use and some may need to be kept in for specific timeframes. Not all hair masks can be used interchangeably in terms of the duration and frequency of use. Make sure to read instructions carefully before applying a hair mask. If you use a mask and find it has adverse results, you may have missed certain instructions.
1-2. Wear an old t-shirt when applying messy masks.
Hair masks can get messy. When applying a hair mask, put an old t-shirt, a hair styling cape, or another item of clothing on you don't mind spilling on. Clothing can easily get damaged during the application process.
You can also try wrapping yourself in a towel while applying a hair mask.
You can get a hair styling cape at a beauty store. These capes are like the ones you wear when you get your hair cut.
1-3. Wash and towel dry your hair.
Before applying your hair mask, wash your hair as you normally would. Then, pat your hair dry with a towel so it's damp. Do not blow dry your hair before applying a hair mask. Your hair should be slightly wet when you apply your mask.
1-4. Separate your hair into sections.
It's easiest to apply a mask if you separate your wet hair into roughly three or four even sections. For example, try two sections on either side of your head, one in front, and one in back. Secure the sections with clips or hair ties and apply your mask to one section at a time.
Longer and thicker hair may require more sections. You may need to split it into 4-8 sections of hair.
If you have very short hair, however, sections may be unnecessary.
1-5. Apply the mask from roots to tips.
Start to massage the mask into your scalp. Then, work the mask downward to the tips of your hair. Try to disperse the mask evenly throughout your hair, using gentle massaging motions to apply the mask.
Pay extra attention to your tips. Tips are often prone to dryness and need extra care.
1-6. Comb your hair with the mask in place.
After applying the mask to your full head of hair, take a medium or wide-toothed comb. Comb through your hair once with the mask in place. This will ensure the mask is more evenly distributed throughout your hair.
This may not work on all hair types. If you have curly hair, for example, you can comb through your hair just using your fingers or you can skip this step.
1-7. Rinse out the mask and condition your hair.
After wearing your mask for the necessary timeframe, rinse it out in the shower. Then, apply conditioner as you normally would to rehydrate your hair.
2. Optimizing the Mask's Effects
2-1. Cover your head with a shower cap and hot towel after applying the mask.
Place the plastic shower cap over your hair after applying the mask. Next, wrap a hot towel around the shower cap. Leave it in place for 10 minutes. This will help the mask make more direct contact with your scalp, making it more effective overall.
2-2. Vary the times depending on the mask's purpose.
How long you leave your mask on varies. If using a commercial mask, refer to the instructions manual. With a homemade mask, however, leave the mask in for different time periods depending on what you're trying to achieve.
For protein treatments, leave the mask in place for 10 minutes.
For hydrating treatment, leave the mask in place for five to 10 minutes.
Coconut oil masks should be left on for at least 30 minutes.
Olaplex masks should be left on for at least 10 minutes, but work better if left on longer. Strive to leave an olaplex mask on for 30 minutes or more.
2-3. Sleep in your hair mask if your hair is very dry.
If you're trying to treat very dry hair, sleep in your hair mask. Place a towel, shower cap, or other covering over your hair and let the mask sit in overnight. In the morning, rinse the mask out in the shower. Your hair should be left noticeably softer and more moisturized.
2-4. Use less hair mask next time if your hair is greasy.
Your hair should not be noticeably greasier after using a hair mask. If you notice your hair becomes greasy after using a hair mask, you probably used too much product. Next time, cut down on the amount you used and see if this fixes the issue.
If a hair mask makes your hair greasy even in small amounts, it may be the wrong hair mask for your hair type. Try using a mask designed for oily hair.

2,157 | How to Apply a Hair Relaxer | 1. Choosing a Relaxer
1-1. Get a no-lye relaxer if you have a sensitive scalp.
There are two main types of relaxers, lye and no-lye. Both of these have benefits and drawbacks, but those with sensitive scalps should go with the no-lye because it’s less painful and irritating.
However, no-lye relaxers often dry out the hair. For this reason, those who don’t have sensitive scalps should consider using a lye relaxer.
1-2. Go with a regular strength relaxer for normal to thick, coarse hair.
Different relaxers have different strengths. Pick a relaxer strength based on your hair’s thickness and texture. For most, a “regular” strength relaxer should work just fine.
Get a relaxer with mild strength if your hair is fine, color-treated, or damaged.
If you have thick, coarse hair, you can try a “super” strength relaxer. Make sure to apply it as directed in the instructions, as improperly used relaxers can cause breakage.
1-3. Read the relaxer directions.
Read the directions on your relaxer kit thoroughly and make sure you understand everything. While relaxing your hair is relatively simple, it can also be dangerous. Ensure your own safety by carefully reading through the instructions and warnings.
2. Preparing Your Hair
2-1. Don’t shampoo or scratch your scalp before relaxing your hair.
Applying relaxer will be painful if your scalp is already irritated in any way. For this reason, it’s best to not wash your hair or scratch your head at all for at least the week leading up to application.
If you do accidentally scratch your scalp, the relaxer will likely make your head tingle.
2-2. Put on gloves and a cape.
You’ll be working with dangerous chemicals that can harm your skin and possibly damage your clothes. Get a hairdresser’s cape and plastic gloves and put them on before handling the relaxer to prevent any harm or damage.
2-3. Get out a couple of towels in case of spills.
Keep a towel or two on standby in case you have any spills. The chemicals you’re dealing with may stain clothing, furniture, and other things they touch, so it’s best to clean any spills up immediately.
2-4. Apply a protective base cream to the scalp and hairline.
Because relaxer can irritate your skin, it’s a great idea to apply a base cream directly to the scalp to protect it. Part your hair in multiple places and apply the base to your scalp. Don’t forget to apply the base to your hairline and around your ears as well.
Petroleum jelly is also a sufficient protective base option.
2-5. Divide your hair into 4-6 sections.
Use a comb to divide your hair evenly into 4-6 different sections. Secure the sections with plastic hair clips or rubber bands. Avoid any hair ties or clips that have metal.
3. Applying the Relaxer
3-1. Mix the product in a plastic bowl.
Typically, hair relaxer comes as a cream or paste and there will be chemicals that need to be mixed with it to complete the relaxer chemical process. With your plastic gloves on, mix the product in a plastic bowl as instructed.
3-2. Apply the relaxer to the new growth in small sections.
Use your comb or the opposite end of your applicator brush to get a small section of hair that’s no more than ½ inch (1.3 cm) thick. Using an applicator brush, carefully coat your new growth with the relaxer. Do this over and over until you’ve applied it to every section.
If you’ve never applied relaxer before, you’ll be coating all of your hair. If you have, then you should only be applying it to your roots.
Avoid getting the relaxer on your scalp.
Don’t apply the relaxer to the parts of your hair that aren’t new growth. You’ll over-process the hair and may cause damage.
3-3. Apply relaxer to your nape and hairline last.
Your hairline is the area that people will see first when they look at you, so you want to be extra sure that you don’t over-process the relaxer along the hairline. Also wait to apply relaxer to the nape of your neck, because the hair here tends to process more quickly. Over-processing may result in unsightly breakage.
3-4. Smooth the new growth with the back of a comb.
After applying your relaxer, go back over all of the hair you applied relaxer to. Use the back of a comb to smooth out the hair to ensure that it straightens.
Do not comb the hair.
3-5. Set a timer for 10 or 15 minutes.
While most relaxers should be left on for 10-15 minutes, different relaxers require waiting different amounts of time. Set a timer for however long the box instructs. Strictly follow the time instruction.
Some people leave the relaxer on longer to achieve “bone straight” hair, but it’s typically more attractive to take the product off when you’re supposed to because then your hair will have some body. Also, leaving it on too long can damage your hair.
4. Removing the Relaxer
4-1. Rinse your hair for at least 5-7 minutes.
When the time is up, spend several minutes rinsing the relaxer out with comfortably hot water. In order to protect your hair, it’s important to get as much product as possible out of your hair. Don’t spend any less than 5 minutes rinsing.
4-2. Condition your hair.
After rinsing, massage a regular moisturizing conditioner into your wet hair and then rinse it out just after application. This will bring the pH level of your hair back up to normal. It’s important to do this before shampooing while the hair cuticle is open. The conditioner will moisturize your hair much more effectively when the cuticle is open.
4-3. Wash your hair
Finally, wash your hair with a neutralizing shampoo to stop the chemical process. This will ensure that the relaxer is completely removed from your hair.
4-4. Rinse your hair and style as usual.
Thoroughly rinse the neutralizing shampoo out of your hair and then spray with a heat protectant and blow your hair dry with a hair dryer if you wish. Then, you can finish styling your hair however you want to. Complete the sleek look by straightening with a flat iron.
5. Caring for Relaxed Hair
5-1. Relax your roots every 8-10 weeks.
If you want to stick with the sleeker look of relaxed hair, you’ll need to apply the relaxer every 8-10 weeks. Every time you do this, make sure you only apply relaxer to your new growth. Otherwise, you’ll damage your hair.
5-2. Keep your hair moisturized.
All relaxers tend to dry out hair to some degree. Moisturize your hair daily with leave-in conditioners and deep-penetrating light oils to keep your hair soft, silky, and smooth.
Deep condition your hair weekly with a protein treatment or moisturizing mask.
5-3. Use a sulfate-free shampoo.
Shampoos that contain sulfate strip your hair of its natural oils, which dries it out. Make sure to shampoo with a gentle sulfate-free shampoo instead so that your hair retains as much moisture as possible.
5-4. Get your hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks.
When you relax your hair, the ends often become porous and fragile, which means you’ll be more susceptible to getting split ends. To keep your hair healthy, get your hair trimmed at least every 6-8 weeks, or whenever you notice that your ends are beginning to look frayed.
5-5. Limit your use of heat styling tools.
Heat styling tools such as flat irons and curling irons can weaken your hair, making it more prone to breaking and becoming damaged. Try to limit your use of heat styling tools as much as you can.
Warnings
Never apply hair relaxer to hair that has been lightened. The chemical reactions between the relaxer and the bleach in a hair lightening product could result in hair loss due to burning.

Rinse your hair for at least 5-7 minutes.\\nWhen the time is up, spend several minutes rinsing the relaxer out with comfortably hot water. In order to protect your hair, it’s important to get as much product as possible out of your hair. Don’t spend any less than 5 minutes rinsing.\\n4-2. Condition your hair.\\nAfter rinsing, massage a regular moisturizing conditioner into your wet hair and then rinse it out just after application. This will bring the pH level of your hair back up to normal. It’s important to do this before shampooing while the hair cuticle is open. The conditioner will moisturize your hair much more effectively when the cuticle is open.\\n4-3. Wash your hair\\nFinally, wash your hair with a neutralizing shampoo to stop the chemical process. This will ensure that the relaxer is completely removed from your hair.\\n4-4. Rinse your hair and style as usual.\\nThoroughly rinse the neutralizing shampoo out of your hair and then spray with a heat protectant and blow your hair dry with a hair dryer if you wish. Then, you can finish styling your hair however you want to. Complete the sleek look by straightening with a flat iron.\\n5. Caring for Relaxed Hair\\n5-1. Relax your roots every 8-10 weeks.\\nIf you want to stick with the sleeker look of relaxed hair, you’ll need to apply the relaxer every 8-10 weeks. Every time you do this, make sure you only apply relaxer to your new growth. Otherwise, you’ll damage your hair.\\n5-2. Keep your hair moisturized.\\nAll relaxers tend to dry out hair to some degree. Moisturize your hair daily with leave-in conditioners and deep-penetrating light oils to keep your hair soft, silky, and smooth.\\nDeep condition your hair weekly with a protein treatment or moisturizing mask.\\n5-3. Use a sulfate-free shampoo.\\nShampoos that contain sulfate strip your hair of its natural oils, which dries it out. Make sure to shampoo with a gentle sulfate-free shampoo instead so that your hair retains as much moisture as possible.\\n5-4. Get your hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks.\\nWhen you relax your hair, the ends often become porous and fragile, which means you’ll be more susceptible to getting split ends. To keep your hair healthy, get your hair trimmed at least every 6-8 weeks, or whenever you notice that your ends are beginning to look frayed.\\n5-5. Limit your use of heat styling tools.\\nHeat styling tools such as flat irons and curling irons can weaken your hair, making it more prone to breaking and becoming damaged. Try to limit your use of heat styling tools as much as you can.\\nWarnings\\nNever apply hair relaxer to hair that has been lightened. The chemical reactions between the relaxer and the bleach in a hair lightening product could result in hair loss due to burning.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Hair relaxer, otherwise known as hair straightener, is used on hair that is naturally curly or wavy in order to attain a straighter, sleeker look.

2,158 | How to Apply a Jagua Tattoo | 1. Choosing a Design and Preparing Your Skin
1-1. Purchase a Jagua tattoo gel kit.
A great place to find a kit is on Fresh Jagua's website. It will come with a bottle and several nozzles of varying widths. Follow the instructions in the kit to prepare your Jagua gel.
1-2. Decide where you want your tattoo to go.
Determining where to place your tattoo can be the hardest part, but any area of skin without excessive hair will work fine. If you don't have previous experience with semi-permanent tattoos, you may wish to pick a spot that's less visible or able to be covered with clothing, like your upper arm or hip. Other popular spots include the hands, feet, ankles, wrists, chest, collarbone area, and thighs.
1-3. Plan out your design.
The possibilities for designs are endless, so choose something as simple or intricate as you'd like. Options include words, mandala patterns, animals, or tribal-style designs, or your kit may come with a sheet of ideas!
It may help to use a different temporary tattoo as an outline for your design. To apply this before the Jagua gel, wet your skin, press the temporary tattoo down for about 10 seconds, and peel it off slowly.
Practice your design on paper if you're going to be applying the tattoo freehand.
1-4. Clean your skin thoroughly with soap and water.
Dry your skin with a towel thoroughly after washing.
You may also wish to exfoliate the area gently with a washcloth or sponge to remove dead skin cells. This will help the gel stick to your skin, and make the design last longer.
2. Applying the Gel
2-1. Apply the gel by gently squeezing the bottle as you go.
Make sure that you're using a nozzle that is narrow enough for the level of detail you're going for. Apply it liberally until the entire design is a raised pool on top of the skin.
2-2. Fix mistakes by quickly removing the gel from the skin with a cotton swab.
Jagua gel is like a stain, so it will start coloring the skin immediately upon touching it. If you can't fix the mistake without altering the rest of the design, just go with it!
2-3. Allow the gel to dry for 30 minutes.
Make sure you don't bump the design, as the stain will set anywhere that it touches. Use this time to relax, and try not to stretch or push the skin together.
2-4. Leave the gel on your skin for 3-6 hours.
This is when the majority of the pigment will be deposited into the skin. Avoid any activity that will make you sweat, as this can cause the lines to blur.
It is not recommended that you go to sleep with the gel on your skin. It can be itchy as it dries, which might make you scratch it in your sleep, damaging the design. Sheets and blankets can also cause the gel to peel off.
2-5. Rinse off the gel with warm water.
It won't be much of a gel anymore; it will be hard and flaky. You can gently pull off any large pieces with your fingers, and then use warm water to remove any residue.
It is very important not to scrub or scratch the area where the tattoo is. This will cause it to fade faster, so use only your fingers and warm water to remove the gel instead of a loofah, washcloth, or brush.
3. Caring for Your Design
3-1. Wait 24-48 hours for the design to fully develop.
Even if you've waited the entire 6 hours with the gel on, the design will be faint at first. Don't panic; this is normal. Don't scrub or tug at your skin during this time.
3-2. Drink lots of water and apply lotion to the design daily.
Being hydrated will slow the skin's natural turnover process. Any lotion or body butter will work well, but shea butter is especially moisturizing, so look for lotions with that ingredient.
Apply sunscreen to the design if it will be exposed to prolonged periods of sunlight.
3-3. Apply petroleum jelly or oil over the tattoo when you shower.
Any kind of light oil, such as massage oil or olive oil, will work well. This will protect the design from soap, water, and friction from other parts of your body.> Try to hold the design out of the water as you shower.
Feel free to use a more complete covering, such as a large bandage or plastic wrap, to fully protect it from water.
3-4. Avoid submerging the tattoo in any body of water.
This includes the bath, a swimming pool, the ocean, or a hot tub. This will cause the tattooed skin cells to come off sooner than they would otherwise.
3-5. Expect your tattoo to last from 1-4 weeks.
The skin exfoliates itself naturally within a month, so it's important not to speed up that process by rubbing or scrubbing the design.
Warnings
If you are allergic to any berries or fruit, do not use Jagua tattoo gel. If you're unsure of whether or not you're allergic, you can do a patch test on a small area of skin before applying a whole tattoo. Follow the same steps, but only apply a very small dot of the gel. If there are no signs of an allergic reaction, like redness, swelling, or hives, you'll probably be fine applying the gel over a larger area.

2,159 | How to Use Kerastase Hair Masks: Easy Instructions & Choosing Products | 1. Prepping Your Hair
1-1. Wash your hair thoroughly using shampoo.
Lather up your hair while you’re in the shower, using your favorite shampoo. Rinse the shampoo out thoroughly with clean water once you’re done.
Brush your hair before washing it if it has tangles.
Washing your hair before applying the mask helps open up the cuticles in your hair.
1-2. Use a towel to remove excess water from your hair.
You want your hair to still be damp when you apply the hair mask, so don’t towel-dry your hair completely. Try squeezing out excess water by blotting sections of your hair with the towel.
Use a microfiber towel or a T-shirt for a gentler way of drying your hair.
Avoid using terry cloth towels.
Having too much excess water in your hair will dilute the mask once it’s applied.
1-3. Part your hair down the middle to separate it into 2 sections.
Try to make them equally-sized, but they don’t have to be exact. If you have short hair, use hair ties to pull together the hair on the left side and right side of your head. For longer hair, you can simply pull each section in front of your shoulders.
2. Applying the Mask
2-1. Use the masks as frequently as you need to depending on your hair thickness.
For example, if you have thin or very short hair, only apply Kerastase hair masks occasionally, such as once a week. If you have thick or long hair, you can use the hair masks after every shampoo.
2-2. Gather a quarter-sized amount of hair mask using your fingers.
Dip 2 or 3 fingers into the container, scooping out a small amount of hair mask. Rub the hair mask ingredients between your fingers so that you’re ready to spread it throughout your hair.
If you have long, thick hair, you can use double the amount of hair mask.
Avoid using more than the recommended amount of mask—Kerastase hair masks have a high concentration of ingredients.
2-3. Apply the mask to your hair by rubbing it onto the strands.
Use your fingers to apply the mask to your hair, completing one section of hair before moving on to the other. Start at the bottom of a strand of hair and go up, rubbing the hair mask evenly throughout your hair.
You can also twist individual strands of hair once you’ve applied the hair mask—this is supposed to help activate the mask.
2-4. Avoid applying the mask near your roots.
Your roots already provide essential oils, so they don’t need the hair mask. Try to stop roughly 2 centimetres (0.79 in) before your roots when you’re rubbing the mask into your hair.
2-5. Leave the hair mask in for 5-10 minutes.
This will give the ingredients in the hair mask time to help nourish your hair. Set a timer to help you remember when it’s okay to begin rinsing.
If you have longer and/or thicker hair, try to leave the mask in for the full 10 minutes.
3. Rinsing the Mask
3-1. Add a little water to your hair and rub the strands with your hands.
You can do this by simply placing your hands under running water and then massaging individual strands of your hair to help the hair mask work fully.
You don’t need to create a cup with your hands to hold water, you just want your hands damp.
If you have a spray bottle, you can also add a few sprays of water to your hair to get it wet.
3-2. Remove excess product from your hair.
Hold a strand of hair with one hand, placing your hand near your roots. Use your other hand to get out excess hair mask by squeezing the strand of hair and sliding your fingers down the length of it. Continue doing this with other strands of hair until you’ve completed your whole head.
It’s best to do this over a sink or in the shower so that you don’t make a mess.
3-3. Rinse your hair out thoroughly with clean water.
The easiest way to do this is to hop back in the shower and use your hands to massage your hair under the running water. Rinse your hair out several times to ensure you got all of the Kerastase hair mask out.
3-4. Dry and style your hair as usual.
Once the mask is all rinsed out, brush your hair to get any tangles out from the mask process. Use a blow dryer or let your hair air-dry as you normally would.
If you're going to use a heat tool, make sure you apply a heat protectant to your hair first.
4. Choosing the Right Mask
4-1. Apply a Nutritive Kerastase product to your hair for nourishment.
Nutritive hair masks are for all levels of dry hair. They add needed moisture and healthy ingredients so that your hair is soft to the touch.
4-2. Fix unruly, curly hair with Kerastase’s Discipline products.
The Discipline hair masks help you smooth and refine your hair. If you have frizzy, curly hair, this is the product you should use to help shield your hair from humidity and damage.
4-3. Take advantage of lots of nourishing oils with the Elixir Ultime mask.
Elixir Ultime products have oils like Argan, Camellia, Maize, and Pracaxi. The combination of ingredients helps nourish your hair to create a soft, shiny look.
This product is for all hair types.
4-4. Use a Resistance product to repair damaged hair.
Kerastase products labeled “Resistance” help fix hair that’s been damaged by heat tools. If your hair has breakage or lots of split ends, try out a Resistance hair mask to help repair the damage.
A Resistance product also works well on over-processed hair.
4-5. Try out a Densifique product for thinning hair.
This hair mask is for hair that’s lacking density. If you’d like thicker hair, opt for a “Masque Densité” to help replenish your hair and keep it healthy.
This hair mask helps protect your hair against stress, as stress can cause hair to thin.
4-6. Preserve colored hair with a Reflection product.
If you have color-treated hair and want to keep it looking vibrant and healthy, apply the Kerastase Reflection hair mask. This will help protect the color from fading while also adding nutrients to your hair.

Rinse the shampoo out thoroughly with clean water once you’re done.\\nBrush your hair before washing it if it has tangles.\\nWashing your hair before applying the mask helps open up the cuticles in your hair.\\n1-2. Use a towel to remove excess water from your hair.\\nYou want your hair to still be damp when you apply the hair mask, so don’t towel-dry your hair completely. Try squeezing out excess water by blotting sections of your hair with the towel.\\nUse a microfiber towel or a T-shirt for a gentler way of drying your hair.\\nAvoid using terry cloth towels.\\nHaving too much excess water in your hair will dilute the mask once it’s applied.\\n1-3. Part your hair down the middle to separate it into 2 sections.\\nTry to make them equally-sized, but they don’t have to be exact. If you have short hair, use hair ties to pull together the hair on the left side and right side of your head. For longer hair, you can simply pull each section in front of your shoulders.\\n2. Applying the Mask\\n2-1. Use the masks as frequently as you need to depending on your hair thickness.\\nFor example, if you have thin or very short hair, only apply Kerastase hair masks occasionally, such as once a week. If you have thick or long hair, you can use the hair masks after every shampoo.\\n2-2. Gather a quarter-sized amount of hair mask using your fingers.\\nDip 2 or 3 fingers into the container, scooping out a small amount of hair mask. Rub the hair mask ingredients between your fingers so that you’re ready to spread it throughout your hair.\\nIf you have long, thick hair, you can use double the amount of hair mask.\\nAvoid using more than the recommended amount of mask—Kerastase hair masks have a high concentration of ingredients.\\n2-3. Apply the mask to your hair by rubbing it onto the strands.\\nUse your fingers to apply the mask to your hair, completing one section of hair before moving on to the other. Start at the bottom of a strand of hair and go up, rubbing the hair mask evenly throughout your hair.\\nYou can also twist individual strands of hair once you’ve applied the hair mask—this is supposed to help activate the mask.\\n2-4. Avoid applying the mask near your roots.\\nYour roots already provide essential oils, so they don’t need the hair mask. Try to stop roughly 2 centimetres (0.79 in) before your roots when you’re rubbing the mask into your hair.\\n2-5. Leave the hair mask in for 5-10 minutes.\\nThis will give the ingredients in the hair mask time to help nourish your hair. Set a timer to help you remember when it’s okay to begin rinsing.\\nIf you have longer and/or thicker hair, try to leave the mask in for the full 10 minutes.\\n3. Rinsing the Mask\\n3-1. Add a little water to your hair and rub the strands with your hands.\\nYou can do this by simply placing your hands under running water and then massaging individual strands of your hair to help the hair mask work fully.\\nYou don’t need to create a cup with your hands to hold water, you just want your hands damp.\\nIf you have a spray bottle, you can also add a few sprays of water to your hair to get it wet.\\n3-2. Remove excess product from your hair.\\nHold a strand of hair with one hand, placing your hand near your roots. Use your other hand to get out excess hair mask by squeezing the strand of hair and sliding your fingers down the length of it.

2,160 | Keratin Treatment at Home: DIY Application, Tips, & More | 1. Choosing a Keratin Treatment
1-1. Choose between a DIY or salon treatment.
You can expect to pay between $100 and $500 for a single keratin treatment at a salon. Doing a keratin treatment yourself won’t give you custom results since at-home treatments don’t evaluate your individual hair type. At-home treatments tend to be less damaging but last for a shorter amount of time.
For example, if you have a light hair color, a salon professional can adjust the formula so that the tonality of your hair shade doesn’t change.
If you decide to go with a stylist, schedule a consultation first so they can determine the appropriate formula for your hair.
1-2. Check reviews.
Whether you opt for a salon or an at-home kit, make sure to go online and read user reviews before committing. Prioritize quality over looking for a good deal. If you know someone who’s had a keratin treatment, ask them for a referral, including the brand of solution and the salon/stylist they went to, if applicable.
1-3. Understand the process.
“Keratin” doesn’t actually smooth hair; the treatment does. During the treatment, a keratin hair straightening product is applied to your hair, and the heat of a flat iron is used to seal it in. This results in smoother, straighter hair.
1-4. Stay away from formaldehyde-releasing treatments.
Some keratin treatments contain ingredients that release formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a chemical that can cause health problems, such as eye and nasal irritation, allergic reactions of the skin, eyes, and lungs, and can even cause cancer. There are a variety of treatments that use alternatives to formaldehyde. Check the product label or ask a salon professional if you want to ensure that the treatment is formaldehyde-free.
Since formaldehyde is used in higher amounts in salons, it can be hazardous to those who work with it often.
DMDM hydantoin, glyoxal, imidazolidinyl urea, diazolidinyl urea, methyl glycol, polyoxymethylene urea, quaternium-15, and sodium hydroxymethylglycinate are all formaldehyde releaser chemicals that may be found in hair care products.
Treatments without toxic chemicals are less effective at softening hair curl patterns.
2. Washing and Parting Your Hair
2-1. Wash your hair with an anti-residue shampoo.
Massage the shampoo into your hair and work up a lather. Let it sit for three to five minutes, then rinse it out. Apply the shampoo one more time. Make sure to rinse it completely out of your hair afterward. Don't apply any hair conditioner or mask. Just leave your hair clean.
Anti-residue shampoo is formulated to remove buildup from your tresses, such as from conditioners or styling products. This will prepare your hair to absorb the keratin treatment evenly.
Anti-residue shampoo is sometimes called “clarifying shampoo.”
2-2. Blow dry your hair until it’s completely dry.
Run your hands through your hair as you blow dry on a medium heat setting. Make sure that your hair is entirely dry unless your product’s directions state otherwise.
A Brazilian treatment requires your hair to be slightly damp (85-90% dry), whereas a keratin treatment requires fully dry hair. Since the terms “Brazilian” and “keratin” (as they relate to hair treatments) are sometimes used interchangeably, it’s important to check with your product’s instructions.
2-3. Part your hair into sections.
Make a part down the middle of your hair using a hair pick or comb. Clip up your hair into four to eight sections (depending on how much hair you have). Make sure to clip each section tightly so that it stays secure during the process.
3. Treating and Drying Your Hair
3-1. Follow all product instructions exactly.
The brand and type of treatment you choose should provide precise instructions on how to apply your keratin treatment. Make sure to read and follow all directions and safety precautions.
If your product instructions differ from these instructions, always follow the directions provided by your product's manufacturer.
3-2. Apply the product evenly to your hair.
Wear gloves and old clothing or a smock. Take a section of your hair and apply the treatment product, starting with a small amount and increasing until the hair is coated but not overly saturated. Use a fine-tooth comb or a hair coloring brush to work the product into each section, from roots to ends. Clip up each section when you finish it.
3-3. Let the product sit for twenty to thirty minutes or as instructed.
Cover your hair with a shower cap. Allow the product to remain on your hair as long as the directions require.
3-4. Dry your hair.
Remove your hair cap and clips. Don’t rinse out the product unless the instructions advise you to do so. Blow dry your hair with the product still in. Use the hot or cold setting on your blow drier, depending on which one your product recommends.
3-5. Straighten your hair with a flat iron.
Set the flat iron to the temperature recommended by the product instructions for your particular hair type. When your flat iron reaches the correct temperature, straighten your hair in small sections (about one to two inches thick). You may want to clip up sections of your hair beforehand or as you finish straightening them.
Using a flat iron that is too hot may scorch your hair and cause breakage.
4. Maintaining Your Keratin Treatment
4-1. Don’t wash your hair for at least three days.
Washing your hair too soon will shorten the life of your keratin treatment. If you can wait a week before getting your hair wet, that’s even better!
Try using a dry shampoo if the lack of lathering your locks is bothering you.
4-2. Don’t use hair ties for at least 48 hours.
Avoid using ponytail holders such as elastics or hair clips, if possible. Don't tuck hair behind your ears. Try a fabric bandanna if you want to keep your hair out of your face.
Using hair ties or clips may cause a crease in your hair. However, this may not be the case if you wear a hair tie loosely.
After your treatment, use a satin or silk pillowcase to protect your hair and keep it smooth and silky at night while you sleep.
4-3. Avoid heat and certain hair products.
Your keratin treatment may last longer if you avoid styling or drying your hair with heat. Wash your hair sparingly, as needed, with a sulfate-free shampoo only (skip conditioner).
Warnings
Never allow hair products to get in or near your eyes.
Consult a dermatologist before getting a keratin treatment if you have psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis. Additionally, even those labeled “formaldehyde-free” may contain formaldehyde which can cause cancer.[17]

2,161 | How to Apply a Lace Front Wig | 1. Preparing
1-1. Do a skin test.
Some people are allergic to the chemicals used to keep a wig in place. Do a skin test to determine whether or not you are allergic. First, dab a small amount of liquid adhesive or double-sided wig tape onto the back of your hand. Next, observe the adhesive for at least twenty four hours.
If the skin becomes red or irritated, purchase a hypoallergenic wig tape or adhesive to use instead.
If the skin is unaffected, you can safely wear the wig.
1-2. Flatten your hair.
The flatter your hair is against your head, the better the wig will look. You can braid short hair into corn rows or mold it against your head using gel and bobby pins. For long hair, first tie your hair in a low ponytail. Next, wrap the ponytail into a flat bun and secure it with bobby pins.
Allow any gel or hairspray to dry before continuing.
1-3. Put on a stocking cap.
Stocking caps, or wig caps, are soft caps that flatten your hair and help the wig stay in place. Gently pull on the stocking cap, being careful not to disturb your flattened hair. Adjust the cap so that it barely covers your hairline.
If you have little to no hair, skip this step. Otherwise, the cap will slide around your head and bunch up under your wig.
Make sure all of your hairs are tucked into this cap, even the hairs on the nape of your neck.
1-4. Prepare your skin.
Wash your skin with a gentle cleanser and blot it dry with a towel. Next, dab some rubbing alcohol on cotton ball and wipe it along your hairline. This will remove the excess oils on your skin. If you have sensitive skin, you can apply a scalp-protecting serum after using the rubbing alcohol.
Allow the serum to dry completely before continuing.
Scalp-protecting serums can be bought at wig supply shops and online.
2. Applying
2-1. Test the fit of the wig.
Before you apply any adhesives, you need to make sure the wig fits properly. To do so, place the wig on your head and line it up with your natural hairline. If the wig has tightening straps on the inside, you may need to adjust these for a proper fit. If the wig doesn’t fit and it doesn’t have any tightening straps, contact the manufacturer for help.
If you can feel a strong ring of pressure around your scalp, the wig is too tight. Loosen the straps slightly.
If the wig slides around when you move your head, the wig is too loose. Tighten the straps.
2-2. Trim the lace.
Once your wig fits properly, you need to trim the lace. Use a few clips to pull the hair away from your face. Next, using sharp pinking shears, trim the lace along your natural hairline. You should leave about 1/8 inch (3 mm) of lace. This will only have to be done the first time you wear the wig.
Some wigs don’t need to be trimmed before wearing. These wigs have little to no excess lace at the front of the wig.
You can buy pinking shears at sewing supply stores.
2-3. Remove the wig and set it aside.
Carefully pull the wig off, leaving all the clips in, and set the wig on a clean flat surface. Arrange the wig so that it’s easy to see what part goes on the hairline and what part goes on the nape of the neck.
If you have to loosen any straps to get the wig off, your wig is too tight.
2-4. Apply wig tape.
Cut six to ten small pieces of wig tape. Next, line your hairline with the small pieces of tape by pressing the sticky side against your skin. Use a mirror while you do this to create an even hairline. Once the tape is applied, remove the thick foam padding to reveal the other side of the tape.
Make sure all of the pieces are touching. Otherwise, you may have loose gaps in your hairline.
Wig tape can be bought at wig supply stores or online.
2-5. Use a liquid adhesive.
If you don’t want to use wig tape, you can use a liquid lace adhesive instead. Use a clean makeup brush to apply the adhesive in thin line along your entire hairline. Depending on the type of adhesive, you may need to wait a few minutes before wearing your wig.
If you use a soft bond adhesive, allow the glue to dry long enough to become tacky before applying the wig.
If you use a hard bond adhesive, you can apply the wig immediately.
2-6. Apply the wig.
Carefully pull the wig on. First, adjust the edge of the wig so that the hairlines match. Next, adjust the back of the wig so that it hangs naturally over your hair. Lastly, press the lace of the wig into your adhesive or wig tape.
Once you press the lace into the adhesive or wig tape, it’s very hard to remove. Be sure that the wig is perfectly aligned before doing so.
2-7. Style your hair.
If your wig is made of human hair, you can use regular brushes, hot styling tools, and hair products. If your wig is synthetic, avoid using regular brushes and hot styling tools. Instead, use a wide-toothed comb or wig brush to adjust your hair.
3. Maintenance
3-1. Take off your wig.
First, remove any adhesives or tape with a commercial wig adhesive remover or regular baby oil. To do so, rub the remover along your hairline where the lace meets the adhesive. Continue rubbing gently until the lace lifts away from your scalp.
Do not pull the lace to remove it you will damage the wig.
3-2. Wash the wig regularly.
Depending on the manufacturer recommendations, your wig will need to be washed after 8-12 wears. First, brush any tangles from the wig. Next, shampoo and condition the wig in a sink filled with warm water. Place it on wig stand and let it dry completely before brushing or combing it. This will help wig last for months instead of weeks.
Human hair can be washed with regular shampoo and conditioner. However, synthetic wigs require their own specialized shampoo and conditioner.
Specialized shampoos and conditioners can be purchased at beauty supply stores or directly from the wig manufacturer.
3-3. Store the wig properly
Proper storage will prolong the life of the wig. Keep the wig on a wig stand when it’s not in use. If you’re in between washings, make sure the wig is free of any adhesives or tape before storing it.
You can buy a wig stand at wig supply stores or online.

2,163 | How to Apply a Material or Texture in Blender | 1. Adding Materials
1-1. Go to the "Materials" tab.
1-2. Click the "New" button.
1-3. Review the materials setting that appears.
You can adjust the color and reflection (diffuse and specular) settings here. The intensity slider will adjust how prominent the reflection is, and the "hardness" slider will affect the sharpness.
For this example, an orange material with a soft reflection will be used.
1-4. Press F12 to render the image.
It should have the selected material applied to it.
2. Adding Texture
2-1. If you want to add a texture to the model, go to the "Texture" tab.
You can find it right next to the "Materials" tab, then click the "New" button.
2-2. Click on the drop-down box next to the "Type" label.
This will allow you to select a texture. The "Clouds" option will be selected for this example.
2-3. Adjust the size and detail of the texture using these sliders.
For this example, a size of 0.1 and a depth of 6 will be used.
2-4. Preview the texture will now .
2-5. Adjust the color.
If you don't want the texture to be a very saturated pink color (when will you need to use that?) go down to the "Influence" panel in the Textures tab and click on the color swatch.
Change the color to something more reasonable (for this example it will be a dark brown).
The updated texture will show in the Preview panel.
2-6. Press F12 to render the image.
The texture has appeared; however it's a little stretched out.
2-7. To fix the stretching, go to the Textures tab and adjust the Size sliders.
Since the texture is stretched vertically here, the Z value will be changed to 3. This will squish the texture so it appears normally.
2-8. Finished!
Tips
Try using other textures. Some good options are Musgrave, Voronoi, Stucci, Wood, and Blend.
If you want to use an image texture, choose the Image or Movie option.

2,164 | How to Apply a Mud Mask | 1. Putting the Mud Mask On Your Face
1-1. Scoop out some beauty mud.
Use your middle and ring fingers to scoop out some of the beauty mud. Start with a small amount, about the size of a dime. If you'd like to apply a thick layer of beauty mud, you can scoop out a larger amount.
Remember, it's easier to add beauty mud to your face than remove excess.
1-2. Spread the beauty mud.
Place the beauty mud on the apples of your cheeks and gently spread it around your cheeks, forehead, temples, chin, and nose. You can apply a thin layer if you want a quick mud mask that's easy to remove.
If you apply a thick opaque layer of beauty mud, you'll be able to keep it on your skin longer since it won't dry out your skin's face as quickly.
1-3. Avoid applying the mask to your eye area.
While you can cover your entire face with the mask, you should avoid using the beauty mud around your eye. The skin around your eye is delicate and if you apply mud to the area, you risk getting it in your eye, especially when removing the mask. Stand in front of a mirror when you apply the mask so you can easily avoid the eyes.
You should make sure to cover any blemishes or acne-prone areas of your skin. Just be gentle when you apply the beauty mud so you don't irritate the skin further.
1-4. Wait for 15 minutes.
Once you've applied the mud mask, leave it on for 15 minutes or until the mud starts drying out.
1-5. Wash off the mud mask.
Take a clean cotton cloth and soak it in lukewarm water. Wring it out completely and gently rub it against the mud mask. Keep rinsing and wringing out the cloth in between rubbing the mask off.
Be gentle when you remove the mask. Rubbing your skin roughly can damage your delicate skin.
If you're having trouble removing the mask, soak your cloth in hot water and place it over your face for about 30 seconds. Then, use the cloth to wipe the mask off.
1-6. Rinse your face.
After most of the mud mask has been cleaned off, splash your face with lukewarm water. This will help remove any remaining mud mask.
Avoid using hot or cold water. These can shock your skin or overly dry it.
1-7. Pat your skin dry.
Take a soft clean cloth and carefully pat your face dry. Avoid rubbing your skin since this could damage your sensitive skin.
2. Effectively Using a Mud Mask
2-1. Select a mud mask.
You have lots of options when choosing a mud mask. Read label descriptions to find a mud mask that will work with your skin type. Depending on your skin type, look for a mask that has specific qualities. For:
Dry skin: look for a hydrating product with moisturizing oils
Blemish-prone skin: choose a clay mask that can reduce oil and clear up acne
Sensitive skin: pick a mask that has minerals to reduce inflammation
Combination skin: consider applying two different masks to different parts of your face based on your skin type
2-2. Tie your hair back.
If you have longer hair, you should tie your hair back into a ponytail. This will keep your hair from falling in front of your face or getting stuck in the beauty mud while you apply the mask.
If your hair does get mud mask on it, simply wet the strand with a wet cloth and rub the beauty mud out.
2-3. Clean or steam your skin.
It's a good idea to remove excess oil and buildup from your skin before you apply a mud mask. It will also make the mud mask adhere to your skin easier. Wash and dry your skin or do a steam facial.
Steam is a great way to open up your pores. It will also let the mud mask penetrate deeper into your skin.
2-4. Apply a facial oil or moisturizer.
Put a few drops of the oil in the palm of your hand and rub your hands together. Gently pat your hands over your face so that the oil is evenly applied to your skin. You can do this before applying the beauty mud since it can dry out your skin.
Consider using a facial oil or moisturizer after removing the mud mask to further hydrate your skin.
2-5. Limit your mud masks.
When used correctly, mud masks can improve your skin tone. But, since mud masks can dry out your skin, you shouldn't apply them more than once a week. If you have oily skin, you might be able to apply a mud mask up to twice a week to control oil production.
If you have zits or blemishes, you can apply a mud mask just to the trouble spots. Do this whenever you have a breakout.
Tips
You can use beauty mud anywhere on your body, not just on your face.
Warnings
Beware of any allergies or sensitivities you may have. You might want to test a small area of skin for any irritation.
There is a lack of data for the overall benefits of mud masks, so if you have a goal in mind, consider going to your local dermatologist for recommendations.

2,165 | How to Apply a Nicotine Patch | 1. Placing the Patch
1-1. Remove the patch from the packaging.
Pull open the box. Inside, you will find a bunch of individually-wrapped patches. Tear open 1 of these pouches or snip it open with a pair of scissors. To avoid damaging the patch, open the pouches from the ends.
Some pouches may have a dotted line on 1 end. Follow the line to avoid damaging the patch.
1-2. Peel the protective strip off the patch.
Slide the patch out of the wrapper. Look for a silver or clear-colored coating on 1 side of the patch. It has a line down the middle dividing it, similar to the strip on a sticky bandage. Hold the patch’s sides and use the dividing line in the middle to peel off both halves of the protective coating.
Avoid touching the sticky part of the patch, which is under the protective strip, as much as possible.
1-3. Select a smooth area of skin on your arm or chest.
Read the instructions on the box for more information on placing the patch properly. It’s meant to go on your upper arm or chest. The area has to be smooth and hairless for the patch to stick in place and work as designed.
If you are hairy, shave off hair as needed to place the patch. To ensure the patch sticks, try to find the smoothest, driest, and most hairless spot possible, such as the inside of your upper arm.
Avoid placing the patch in any spots that are oily, irritated, burned, or broken out. Also avoid placing it on a tattoo, since it’s uncertain how this affects the patch.
1-4. Press the patch in place for 10 seconds.
Rest the patch on the heel of your palm with the adhesive side up. Press it to the area of skin you selected and count to 10 as you hold it in place. It’s super sticky, so it shouldn’t come off after this.
Make sure the edges of the patch are firmly against your skin. You can use your fingers to lightly press down any spots that feel loose.
1-5. Put the protective strip back in the pouch.
Find the backing halves you removed earlier and slip them into the patch’s pouch. Save the pouch by slipping it back into the box. It's useful for disposing of the patch later. Some boxes include a disposal tray to hold used pouches.
Always keep the patches and wrappings out of the reach of children and pets.
1-6. Wash your hands with soap and water.
Touching the patch leaves nicotine on your hands. Take precaution by washing your hands immediately after handling a patch. Otherwise, you could end up touching and irritating your eyes and nose.
2. Discarding and Replacing Patches
2-1. Remove the patch after 24 hours.
Again, read the directions on the package for exact instructions on when to remove the patch. Each patch lasts between 16 to 24 hours and usually needs to be changed the next day. Peel the patch off your skin when it's time to remove it.
2-2. Press the patch’s sticky sides together.
Hold the patch in your hand with the adhesive side facing upwards again. This time, fold it in half. Bring both halves of the adhesive together and press them until they stick to one another.
2-3. Dispose of used patches in a sealed trash bag.
The patches can be safely thrown away with the rest of the trash. Make sure the trash bag is covered or tied shut. Used nicotine patches are still poisonous to small children and pets.
Alternatively, look for medical waste disposal units in your area. Some medical facilities offer this service along with some governments throughout the year. Contact your local government for more information.
2-4. Apply the next patch to a different skin area to avoid irritation.
You can use the same general area, such as your upper arm, for the new patch. However, avoid placing the patch in the same exact spot as the old one. Apply the new patch by tearing off the backing and pressing it in place.
Don’t forget to wash your hands again after handling the patches.
2-5. Put on a new patch at the same time every day.
Set up a schedule to change the patches. It’s no secret that people sometimes forget to take medications on time. Striving to put the patch on at the same time daily helps turn it into a routine so you never miss a dose.
3. Taking Health Precautions
3-1. Research negative drug interactions before using the patches.
Get a doctor’s approval if you are using drugs for high blood pressure, heart palpitations, or diuretics. Mixing nicotine patches with caffeine, alcohol, vitamins, and acetaminophen, or Tylenol, can also be an issue.
Drugs for anxiety and depression, such as Wellbutrin, also interact with nicotine patches.
Always let your doctor know any drugs you are taking to avoid adverse reactions.
3-2. Speak to a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Get in touch with a doctor right away. Although patches are safer than smoking, the nicotine may still cause harm to the child. The doctor can advise you on limiting or stopping the patches.
The best option is to stop using nicotine entirely.
3-3. Call a doctor immediately if you experience a rapid heartbeat.
It’s rare, but nicotine can raise your heart rate or make your heart’s rhythm irregular. Monitor your heart rate and also be aware of any dizziness, blurred vision, headaches, nervousness, nausea, and weakness you experience.
Stop using the patches and come up with an alternative plan with your doctor.
3-4. Tell your doctor if you experience severe allergic reactions.
Anyone allergic to adhesive tape should avoid the patches by default. Note any rashes or swelling forming under the patch. If it is severe or doesn’t fade over a few days, stop using the patch and visit a doctor.
A little bit of redness and swelling is normal when first applying patches, but it should go away in time.
3-5. Switch to a lower dose after 2 weeks when quitting nicotine.
Nicotine patches are sold at different strengths. Start with the patch you need and, if you feel comfortable after 2 to 4 weeks of use, go to the next lowest dose. Continue doing this until you’re done with nicotine entirely. This slow decrease reduces withdrawal symptoms.
Start with the 21 mg patch if you smoke more than 11 cigarettes in a day, and the 14 mg patch if you smoke less than that.
Since these patches are sold over the counter, this is something you can do on your own. However, contact your doctor if you have any concerns.
Tips
Nicotine patches are sold over-the-counter, although doctors can write prescriptions for them.
Patches are designed to be worn in the shower or bathtub.
If you are late for a dose, put on a new patch immediately.
Warnings
Never use multiple patches at the same time or cut the patch into smaller pieces.
Avoid smoking while using patches. This leads to a nicotine overdose.

2,166 | How to Apply a No 7 Serum | 1. Cleansing Your Skin
1-1. Remove your makeup
If you have any makeup on, make sure to remove all of it with a makeup removing wipe or by wetting a cotton pad with makeup remover. As an alternative, you can use a cleansing oil to take your makeup off. Regardless of the products you choose to use, use a little pressure as you wipe away your makeup and make sure to wipe your entire face.
Go back over areas of your face where you’ve applied more makeup, such as your eyes, to ensure that you remove it completely.
1-2. Wash your hands
It’s important that your face is clean when you apply your serum. Since you wash your face with your hands, this means that your hands need to be clean as well. Rinse your hands with some warm running water, and then create a lather with some antibacterial hand soap. Wash your hands for about 20 seconds, rinse them off, and then dry them with a clean hand towel.
1-3. Wash your face
Always wash your face before you apply your serum. Create a lather with a cleanser of your choice and some warm water. Then, massage your face with the cleanser to remove dirt and oil from your skin. Rinse the cleanser off completely with warm water.
Go with a cleanser for acne-prone skin if you frequently get breakouts.
Choose a cream-based hydrating cleanser if your skin tends to be dry.
1-4. Pat your face dry with a soft cloth or towel.
Get a clean hand towel and gently press it against your skin repeatedly. Stop before your skin is completely dry, as the serum may be able to lock in some of the moisture from the water.
2. Applying the Serum
2-1. Put a pea-sized drop of serum into your hand.
Take the cap off of your serum and squirt a little bit of it onto your fingertips. Aim to squirt out a pea-sized amount. Because the serum is concentrated, a little bit tends to go a long way.
2-2. Dab the serum onto your forehead, cheeks, and chin.
Rub your fingertips together to spread out the serum and then tap the serum onto your forehead. Then, dab the rest of the serum onto your cheeks and chin to ensure that it’s applied in all of the most beneficial areas.
2-3. Massage the serum into your skin.
Rub the serum into your skin all over your face and neck, but don’t get too close to your eyes. Start towards the center of your face and use an outward sweeping motion as you apply. Let the serum absorb into your skin completely before you put any other products on it.
3. Moisturizing Your Skin
3-1. Follow up the serum with No 7 day cream every morning.
The No 7 serum contains several beneficial anti-aging properties but it doesn’t have moisturizing properties. After applying your serum in the morning, stick your finger into a jar of No 7 day cream and scoop out a little bit with your finger. Massage it into your skin to ensure that your face is properly moisturized and protected from the sun.
As an alternative, use any face lotion or cream that has an SPF.
3-2. Wait 15 minutes before you put on makeup.
When applying your serum in the morning, leave your face alone for about 15 minutes or so after you’ve finished your moisturizer. This will allow the moisturizer to set into your skin and properly hydrate your face. After the time is up, you can start putting your makeup on.
3-3. Apply No 7 night cream every evening after applying your serum.
After applying your serum at night, scoop a little bit of night cream out of your No 7 night cream jar, and gently rub it all over your face. This way, your face will stay hydrated and healthy while you sleep.
3-4. Dab some eye cream around the outside of your eyes sparingly.
Don’t apply your serum or moisturizer around your eyes, and instead use a cream that’s specifically for eyes. Just after applying your moisturizer, get a little bit of the No 7 eye cream onto your fingertips and then dab it around the outside edges of your eyes only. This should help to minimize and/or prevent crows feet.
The skin around your eyes is delicate, so it’s best to only use products in this area from time to time.
If you’d prefer to use another brand of eye cream, feel free to use it instead.

2,167 | How to Apply a Popsocket | 1. Applying a Grip
1-1. Purchase a popsocket from the brand's official website.
You can choose from a range of color and designs. You can also design your own custom popsocket by uploading a unique image while making your order.
To order a popsocket, visit https://www.popsockets.com/.
1-2. Decide where to attach your popsocket.
Decide beforehand where you want it positioned based on how you intend to use it. Place the popsocket on the back of the phone without removing the adhesive covering to see how it will line up. If you want to attach 2 popsockets to the back of your phone, test out their positioning together and make sure they line up evenly.
For instance, if you want to prop up a small phone vertically, position the popsocket in the bottom of your phone.
You might attach two popsockets to prop up a larger phone, or to store your headphones.
Decide if you want to attach the popsocket directly to your phone, or to a phone case.
1-3. Peel off the sticker on the adhesive surface.
When you are ready to attach the popsocket, carefully peel off the sticker on the back. Pull the sticker gently to avoid ripping it, starting at one corner and gently lifting it up. Do not remove the adhesive covering before you are ready to apply the popsocket to your phone.
1-4. Stick the popsocket to your phone.
Once the adhesive surface is exposed, press it onto the spot where you want the popsocket to be. Press down firmly for 10-15 seconds to make sure it sticks to the phone.
2. Repositioning the Grip
2-1. Flatten the popsocket before removing it.
Press down your popsocket to flatten it against the back of your phone. It will be easier to remove it in this compressed form. Do not try to remove the popsocket while it is extended, which may result in it popping out of its base.
2-2. Gently peel up the popsocket from one corner.
Choose one corner of the popsocket and gently start peeling it up. Gently continue pulling in a circular direction, pulling up the outer surface. Once the entire radius of the circle is unstuck, pull up the popsocket to remove it.
2-3. Use dental floss to remove the popsocket if you can't pull it off.
If the adhesive is too strong to remove the popsocket by hand, slide dental floss under it to unglue it. Wrap the ends of a long piece of dental floss around your index fingers and position it at one edge of the popsocket. Gently but firmly pull the floss between the popsocket and phone, breaking the seal.
2-4. Rinse and dry your popsocket if the adhesive part is dirty.
Make sure that the adhesive part of your popsocket is clean so that it will re-stick properly. Gently rinse it under cold water and let it sit for 10 minutes to dry. Be sure to attach it to another surface within 15 minutes or the adhesive will dry out.
2-5. Stick the popsocket to a new surface area.
Choose a new spot for your popsocket, on the same phone or on a new one. Press the popsocket down firmly to let he adhesive part stick to the phone. Continue putting pressure on it for 10-15 seconds to ensure that it adheres properly.
3. Installing a Mount
3-1. Buy a popsocket mount from the company's website.
Mounts can be found in the "accessories" section. Popsocket mounts can be applied to surfaces such as your car dashboard or bedroom mirror.
Purchase a popsocket mount at https://www.popsockets.com/.
You can also purchase a popsocket mount designed to attach to your car's air vent.
3-2. Wipe down the adhesion surface with rubbing alcohol.
Ensure that the popsocket mount has a clean surface to adhere to so that it sticks properly. Apply a few drops of rubbing alcohol to a cotton ball or use a sanitizing alcohol wipe to clean the area you will be attaching the mount. The surface should be dry after a few seconds.
3-3. Peel back the covering over the adhesive on the back of the mount.
Gently remove the protective sheet covering the adhesive on your popsocket mount. Be sure to avoid touching the adhesive. The 3M VHB pad is designed for a strong hold and will be very difficult to remove from your skin if contact occurs.
3-4. Press the mount to the adhesion surface and let it bond for 8 hours.
Press the adhesive part of the mount down onto the surface you are sticking it to. Press firmly on the mount for 10-15 seconds. Let the mount bond to the surface for 8 hours before you use it to ensure that it is attached firmly.
A popsocket mount can only be applied once, so be careful about positioning it properly before attaching it.
Tips
If your popsocket is not sticking to your phone, then push the popsocket and let it sit for at least eight hours before popping it open.
If putting a popsocket on a glass back (such as an iPhone 8, 8+ or X), then be sure to get a plastic adhesive disc to make the phone bond. But be careful, this disc can only be reapplied three times.

2,168 | How to Apply a Pressure Bandage | 1. Treating a Bleeding Wound
1-1. Make treatment of the bleeding wound a priority.
Time is of the essence when a deep wound is bleeding profusely. Call or send for help immediately, or come up with a plan to reach medical personnel if you are somewhere remote.
Stabilize the injured person as much as possible before you consider leaving him if it is just the two of you. Delegate duties if several people are present. Let someone call or go for help if there is another who can help with the pressure dressing.
If the person is conscious, ask for his consent to treat the wound before you touch it.
1-2. Expose the entire wound to see the full extent of the injury.
Cut, tear, push, and/or lift any clothing away from the wound. If clothing is stuck to the wound, leave that portion in place and work around it. Do not try to wash the wound. Resist the impulse to remove any impaled objects from the wound.
If you have access to a sterile saline solution, you can add some of this to keep the wound moist and to lift away clothing gently.
Help the wound to coagulate. Ripping off the portion of clothing stuck to the wound may disturb blood clots and cause more bleeding.
Do not remove objects because they may be having a tamponade or compression effect within the wound. Injured blood vessels, arteries, or veins can clot faster when any type of pressure is applied. Removing an object from the wound may lead to more rapid hemorrhage or blood loss.
If an impaled object is involved, take a triangular bandage and roll it into a cord. Wrap this cord around the object to keep it from moving. Try not to jostle the object as you do this. You can also use rolled up gauze on either side of the object as well. Tape the support dressing in place. In a pinch, use clothing or other materials that are as clean as you can find. It is important that the impaled object move as little as possible, so that it does not cause tissue/blood vessel damage or initiate new bleeding.
Leave washing the wound to medical personnel. The gentlest cleansing could dislodge blood clots. Treat serious and deep wounds differently from everyday superficial wounds. Do not manipulate the wound more than necessary. It is okay to protect the wound from further contamination if the area around the victim is dirty or filled with chemicals.
1-3. Apply a regular dressing over the wound.
Find the cleanest cloth available if you do not have a first-aid kit. Stabilize any impaled objects sticking out the wound with some of the bandage/cloth before you cover the wound. Secure the dressing in place.
If no impaled object is involved, make a dressing of sterile, nonstick gauze or the cleanest, most absorptive cloth available. Fold it into a dressing about 1 inch thick and apply it to wound.
Then, take a triangular bandage (or other length of cloth about 3 feet long). Fold it into a ribbon the width of your palm, then wrap it around the limb. Secure it with a firm but easily adjustable knot.
Do not place the knot on the wound, but to the outside of the limb.
1-4. Check the limb for signs of ischemia after securing the bandage.
Make sure it has not turned blue or cool. This is a vital step if cloth has been tied around the limb.
Loosen the bandage slightly if you see signs of inadequate oxygen delivery to the limb or if you cannot find the pulse. Check the pulse below the bandage. Check on the inside of the wrist near the thumb or on top of the foot near the ankle.
1-5. Elevate the injured limb.
The limb should be elevated above the level of the injured person’s heart. Do not elevate the limb before you splint any broken bones.
Elevate the leg by placing the foot or ankle on a pack, log, rock, or any other object; this works if the injured person is lying down or sitting. Elevate the arm by placing the forearm on the chest if the injured person is lying on her back or by placing the wrist on top of the head if she is sitting.
Splint a limb by finding straight objects (branches, foam, or cardboard) and wrapping material (clothing or climbing web). Use the wrapping material to first cover the objects that you will use as splints to avoid infection. Cut or rip sections so that you have at least three ties; use them to secure the objects on the limb to keep the fracture immobilized and to keep any injured joints straight. Do not compromise the blood flow to the limb by wrapping it too tightly.
Do not apply these bandage ties on top of the wound or the break. Apply them above and below the injury site. Remember to check the hand/foot beneath the splint for adequate blood flow.
1-6. Apply manual pressure to the wound.
Put direct pressure over the bandage with the hand. Maintain this for five to 10 minutes. Reassess for signs of uncontrolled hemorrhage like blood soaking the regular dressing or dripping from under the dressing.
1-7. Apply the pressure dressing only if manual pressure and elevation fail.
If direct pressure fails to stem bleeding and the wound still bleeds through a second layer of bandage, then it is time to apply a pressure bandage. Pressure bandages prevent prolonged and excessive blood loss, which can cause a drop in blood volume (a decrease in the amount of blood flowing in your vessels), decreased blood pressure, loss of consciousness, and death.
Replace any blood volume losses and raise the victim’s blood pressure with liquids by mouth. Only do this if he is fully awake and the wound has been stabilized.
1-8. Make improvised bandages from strips of cloth.
Use ripped or cut garments like T-shirts, pants, or socks. Place the pressure dressing on top of the regular dressing.
Protect the wound and guard against making the bleeding worse. If you need to remove the pressure dressing for any reason, the regular dressing will be in place to prevent disturbing any clot which has formed in the wound.
1-9. Secure a wad of the improvised bandages over the wound.
Take a longer piece of cloth and wrap it firmly around the wadded bandages. Tie the ends together. Apply enough pressure to help gain hemostasis, but do not create a tight tourniquet-like effect. One finger should be able to fit under the knot.
After you apply the securing bandage, check the fingers or toes past the bandage to ensure that they are still pink and warm. If not, loosen the bandages and try again.
1-10. Check the limb with the pressure dressing frequently.
Reassess the limb to make sure the bleeding has stopped. Additional treatment may be indicated. Look for signs of decreased circulation in the limb, as well. There is a risk of tissue loss if a bandage impedes bloodflow for too long.
Loosen the pressure bandage if the extremity becomes cool, blue, numb, or loses the pulse below the pressure dressing. When there is inadequate oxygen delivery to the limb, tissue can begin to die off and the limb could be compromised to the point of requiring an amputation.
1-11. Treat bleeding wounds on the torso and the head differently.
Use the improvised bandages or bandages from a first-aid kit to apply manual pressure on the torso (chest and abdomen) and head in a very specific way. Use extreme caution when applying compression to these areas.
Change your technique when applying a pressure dressing to the torso. The first steps are the same. Do not remove any objects from the wound. Apply the regular dressing. Tape this dressing, if you can. But, do not secure the dressing by wrapping cloth around the injured person. This could compromise the victim’s ability to breathe. Wad the cloth or bandages over the regular dressing on the wound. Apply enough manual pressure over the wad to stop the hemorrhage without interfering with the injured person’s breathing. Maintain this compression for 15 minutes. Continue the manual pressure if there are signs of continuing hemorrhage, such as a soaked dressing or blood dripping around the regular dressing.
You will have to continue this compression until medical personnel arrive or until the wound begins to clot.
Do not apply any pressure to a head wound if the victim’s skull appears deformed. Look for sunken areas, visible bone fragments, or exposed brain tissue. Do not apply pressure to a wound which involves the eye or when an object in the wound clearly pierces the skull. Cover the wound gently with bandages, have the person lie down, and get him medical attention as soon as possible. Keep adding more bandages on top if the dressing gets soaked.
Assess the head wound and make sure pressure can be applied safely. Establish which dressing will be considered the regular dressing, even if it is not secured, and do not remove it.
Apply manual pressure on wadded cloth or bandages over the regular dressing for 15 minutes. If the hemorrhage continues, reapply the manual pressure until medical personnel arrives.
Wounds on the head bleed a lot because there are a lot of blood vessels close to the surface of the skin, so have plenty of extra dressings handy if you have them available.
Keep in mind that hair makes it hard to use tape and even long pieces of cloth wrapped around the head have a tendency to slip. Do not waste time trying to secure a regular dressing.
Never wrap anything around the neck.
1-12. Apply a tourniquet to a limb as a last resort.
Use a tourniquet when no other technique (elevation, manual pressure, or a pressure dressing) has worked. A tourniquet compresses arteries and veins very firmly. There is very little blood flowing past the point of the tourniquet, thus preventing hemorrhage from the wound
A tourniquet can be anything like a special device, a belt, or a long piece of cloth. It is used for limbs only. The best location to wrap the tourniquet is within 1-3" of the wound site, to minimize tissue death/damage. The tourniquet must be closer to the heart than the wound. Put something, a piece of cloth or the person’s clothing, under the tourniquet to protect the skin. Do not remove the tourniquet once it is placed.
It does not take too much constant pressure to impede blood flow. However, a tourniquet is not a bandage like a pressure dressing. It is a very, very tight band around a limb. There is a definite risk of tissue loss and ischemia. Weigh the risk of loss of a limb versus the loss of life.
2. Treating a Snake Bite
2-1. Prioritize immobilizing the victim and applying a pressure dressing to the limb.
The pressure immobilization technique is thought to hinder the movement of venom from the bite site into the circulation. Make plans to reach medical personnel while treating the bite wound.
Some research has shown that very little venom reaches the bloodstream if pressure is applied over the bite and the limb is immobilized, but this is still unproven.
Go to places known to have poisonous snakes with at least three people. One can call or go for help while another treats the bite wounds.
2-2. Leave the victim’s clothing in place.
Keep the person and the injured limb as still as possible. Do not promote movement of the venom into the bloodstream.
2-3. Allow the snake bite to bleed freely for 15 to 30 seconds.
Let venom be evacuated from wound. Letting the wound bleed while keeping it still will help to keep the venom out of the circulatory system.
During this expulsion phase, try to keep the limb lower than the heart to encourage the blood to expel the venom, rather than take it into the body.
2-4. Obtain a soft and flexible material for the pressure dressing.
Use a flexible material like ace bandages or pantyhose, if available. Improvise and create a bandage by cutting or tearing something soft, like clothing or towels, into strips.
2-5. Apply the pressure dressing upwards on the limb.
Continue up the limb to cover the area of the bite, at minimum. Go up the limb as far as possible. Let only the amount of bandages limit you.
Start wrapping on the foot and cross the knee for bites anywhere on the leg. Start wrapping at the fingers and cross the elbow for bites anywhere on the arm. Bites located on the very upper arm and thigh will be challenging to cover; you may have treat them like they are on the torso.
This upward wrapping may squeeze a little venom towards the circulation. But it will be more comfortable and the injured person will tolerate it longer. The pressure dressing should be as tight as you would apply on a sprained ankle.
2-6. Immobilize the bitten limb with a splint.
Take care to cross the joint to maximize the restriction of movement. Do not allow the victim to move the limb to help apply the splint.
Use any rigid object such as a branch, a tool with a handle, or rolled up newspaper. Wrap these objects with the same soft and flexible materials used to compress the limb before using them as splints.
2-7. Check for pulses in the bitten limb.
Loosen the dressing if there are no pulses; the dressing is too tight. You want the pulse to be strong and normal.
Check the pulse on top of the foot when the pressure dressing is on the leg. Check the pulse at the wrist near the thumb when the pressure dressing is on the arm.
2-8. Keep the limb in a gravity-neutral position, if possible.
Venom can travel into the circulation if the limb is kept above heart level. Swelling can occur if the limb hangs below heart level.
Lie the victim flat on her back with her arms at the side. She should not be moving anyway.
2-9. Treat snake bites to the torso, head, and neck differently.
Wad cloth or bandages and apply manual pressure over a bite on the torso. Take care not to restrict breathing. Do not give any first aid if the bite is on the head or neck. Keep the patient still no matter the bite location and seek medical assistance immediately.
2-10. Initiate antivenin treatment as soon as possible.
Do not remove the pressure dressing until right before the antivenin will be being given at a medical facility. Prompt treatment with antivenin will decrease the likelihood of morbidity (serious long-term side effects) and mortality (death) from the snake venom.
Antivenin contains antibodies (the blood cells your body uses to destroy anything foreign) against specific poisons found in the venom of snakes. It is made from the blood of horses or sheep exposed to the specific venom.
Do not listen to old wives’ tales about how to treat a snake bite. Do not apply mouth suction. Do not cut into the bite site. Do not apply hot or cold packs. Do not apply a tourniquet. Do not delay treatment trying to kill and bring in the snake.
Treat the bite like it is from a venomous snake if you cannot identify the type of snake.
2-11. Provide supportive care to the victim.
Help him deal with any symptoms as they arise. Encourage him to stay still. But, antivenin therapy is the definitive treatment which will combat the poison(s) in the snake venom and help the victim feel better.
Expect general signs and symptoms such as swelling and redness around the bite, pain at the bite site, difficulty breathing, vomiting and nausea, blurred vision, sweating and salivating, numbness in the face and limbs, and decreased level of consciousness. Each snake venom has different side effects and you also could see convulsions, low blood pressure, and paralysis.

Elevate the arm by placing the forearm on the chest if the injured person is lying on her back or by placing the wrist on top of the head if she is sitting.\\nSplint a limb by finding straight objects (branches, foam, or cardboard) and wrapping material (clothing or climbing web). Use the wrapping material to first cover the objects that you will use as splints to avoid infection. Cut or rip sections so that you have at least three ties; use them to secure the objects on the limb to keep the fracture immobilized and to keep any injured joints straight. Do not compromise the blood flow to the limb by wrapping it too tightly.\\nDo not apply these bandage ties on top of the wound or the break. Apply them above and below the injury site. Remember to check the hand/foot beneath the splint for adequate blood flow.\\n1-6. Apply manual pressure to the wound.\\nPut direct pressure over the bandage with the hand. Maintain this for five to 10 minutes. Reassess for signs of uncontrolled hemorrhage like blood soaking the regular dressing or dripping from under the dressing.\\n1-7. Apply the pressure dressing only if manual pressure and elevation fail.\\nIf direct pressure fails to stem bleeding and the wound still bleeds through a second layer of bandage, then it is time to apply a pressure bandage. Pressure bandages prevent prolonged and excessive blood loss, which can cause a drop in blood volume (a decrease in the amount of blood flowing in your vessels), decreased blood pressure, loss of consciousness, and death.\\nReplace any blood volume losses and raise the victim’s blood pressure with liquids by mouth. Only do this if he is fully awake and the wound has been stabilized.\\n1-8. Make improvised bandages from strips of cloth.\\nUse ripped or cut garments like T-shirts, pants, or socks. Place the pressure dressing on top of the regular dressing.\\nProtect the wound and guard against making the bleeding worse. If you need to remove the pressure dressing for any reason, the regular dressing will be in place to prevent disturbing any clot which has formed in the wound.\\n1-9. Secure a wad of the improvised bandages over the wound.\\nTake a longer piece of cloth and wrap it firmly around the wadded bandages. Tie the ends together. Apply enough pressure to help gain hemostasis, but do not create a tight tourniquet-like effect. One finger should be able to fit under the knot.\\nAfter you apply the securing bandage, check the fingers or toes past the bandage to ensure that they are still pink and warm. If not, loosen the bandages and try again.\\n1-10. Check the limb with the pressure dressing frequently.\\nReassess the limb to make sure the bleeding has stopped. Additional treatment may be indicated. Look for signs of decreased circulation in the limb, as well. There is a risk of tissue loss if a bandage impedes bloodflow for too long.\\nLoosen the pressure bandage if the extremity becomes cool, blue, numb, or loses the pulse below the pressure dressing. When there is inadequate oxygen delivery to the limb, tissue can begin to die off and the limb could be compromised to the point of requiring an amputation.\\n1-11. Treat bleeding wounds on the torso and the head differently.\\nUse the improvised bandages or bandages from a first-aid kit to apply manual pressure on the torso (chest and abdomen) and head in a very specific way. Use extreme caution when applying compression to these areas.\\nChange your technique when applying a pressure dressing to the torso. The first steps are the same. Do not remove any objects from the wound. Apply the regular dressing. Tape this dressing, if you can. But, do not secure the dressing by wrapping cloth around the injured person. This could compromise the victim’s ability to breathe. Wad the cloth or bandages over the regular dressing on the wound. Apply enough manual pressure over the wad to stop the hemorrhage without interfering with the injured person’s breathing. Maintain this compression for 15 minutes. Continue the manual pressure if there are signs of continuing hemorrhage, such as a soaked dressing or blood dripping around the regular dressing.\\nYou will have to continue this compression until medical personnel arrive or until the wound begins to clot.\\nDo not apply any pressure to a head wound if the victim’s skull appears deformed. Look for sunken areas, visible bone fragments, or exposed brain tissue. Do not apply pressure to a wound which involves the eye or when an object in the wound clearly pierces the skull. Cover the wound gently with bandages, have the person lie down, and get him medical attention as soon as possible. Keep adding more bandages on top if the dressing gets soaked.\\nAssess the head wound and make sure pressure can be applied safely. Establish which dressing will be considered the regular dressing, even if it is not secured, and do not remove it.\\nApply manual pressure on wadded cloth or bandages over the regular dressing for 15 minutes. If the hemorrhage continues, reapply the manual pressure until medical personnel arrives.\\nWounds on the head bleed a lot because there are a lot of blood vessels close to the surface of the skin, so have plenty of extra dressings handy if you have them available.\\nKeep in mind that hair makes it hard to use tape and even long pieces of cloth wrapped around the head have a tendency to slip. Do not waste time trying to secure a regular dressing.\\nNever wrap anything around the neck.\\n1-12. Apply a tourniquet to a limb as a last resort.\\nUse a tourniquet when no other technique (elevation, manual pressure, or a pressure dressing) has worked. A tourniquet compresses arteries and veins very firmly. There is very little blood flowing past the point of the tourniquet, thus preventing hemorrhage from the wound \\nA tourniquet can be anything like a special device, a belt, or a long piece of cloth. It is used for limbs only. The best location to wrap the tourniquet is within 1-3\\\" of the wound site, to minimize tissue death/damage. The tourniquet must be closer to the heart than the wound. Put something, a piece of cloth or the person’s clothing, under the tourniquet to protect the skin. Do not remove the tourniquet once it is placed.\\nIt does not take too much constant pressure to impede blood flow. However, a tourniquet is not a bandage like a pressure dressing. It is a very, very tight band around a limb. There is a definite risk of tissue loss and ischemia. Weigh the risk of loss of a limb versus the loss of life.\\n2. Treating a Snake Bite\\n2-1. Prioritize immobilizing the victim and applying a pressure dressing to the limb.\\nThe pressure immobilization technique is thought to hinder the movement of venom from the bite site into the circulation. Make plans to reach medical personnel while treating the bite wound.\\nSome research has shown that very little venom reaches the bloodstream if pressure is applied over the bite and the limb is immobilized, but this is still unproven.\\nGo to places known to have poisonous snakes with at least three people. One can call or go for help while another treats the bite wounds.\\n2-2. Leave the victim’s clothing in place.\\nKeep the person and the injured limb as still as possible. Do not promote movement of the venom into the bloodstream.\\n2-3. Allow the snake bite to bleed freely for 15 to 30 seconds.\\nLet venom be evacuated from wound. Letting the wound bleed while keeping it still will help to keep the venom out of the circulatory system.\\nDuring this expulsion phase, try to keep the limb lower than the heart to encourage the blood to expel the venom, rather than take it into the body.\\n2-4. Obtain a soft and flexible material for the pressure dressing.\\nUse a flexible material like ace bandages or pantyhose, if available. Improvise and create a bandage by cutting or tearing something soft, like clothing or towels, into strips.\\n2-5. Apply the pressure dressing upwards on the limb.\\nContinue up the limb to cover the area of the bite, at minimum. Go up the limb as far as possible. Let only the amount of bandages limit you.\\nStart wrapping on the foot and cross the knee for bites anywhere on the leg. Start wrapping at the fingers and cross the elbow for bites anywhere on the arm. Bites located on the very upper arm and thigh will be challenging to cover; you may have treat them like they are on the torso.\\nThis upward wrapping may squeeze a little venom towards the circulation. But it will be more comfortable and the injured person will tolerate it longer. The pressure dressing should be as tight as you would apply on a sprained ankle.\\n2-6. Immobilize the bitten limb with a splint.\\nTake care to cross the joint to maximize the restriction of movement. Do not allow the victim to move the limb to help apply the splint.\\nUse any rigid object such as a branch, a tool with a handle, or rolled up newspaper. Wrap these objects with the same soft and flexible materials used to compress the limb before using them as splints.\\n2-7. Check for pulses in the bitten limb.\\nLoosen the dressing if there are no pulses; the dressing is too tight. You want the pulse to be strong and normal.\\nCheck the pulse on top of the foot when the pressure dressing is on the leg. Check the pulse at the wrist near the thumb when the pressure dressing is on the arm.\\n2-8. Keep the limb in a gravity-neutral position, if possible.\\nVenom can travel into the circulation if the limb is kept above heart level. Swelling can occur if the limb hangs below heart level.\\nLie the victim flat on her back with her arms at the side. She should not be moving anyway.\\n2-9. Treat snake bites to the torso, head, and neck differently.\\nWad cloth or bandages and apply manual pressure over a bite on the torso. Take care not to restrict breathing. Do not give any first aid if the bite is on the head or neck. Keep the patient still no matter the bite location and seek medical assistance immediately.\\n2-10. Initiate antivenin treatment as soon as possible.\\nDo not remove the pressure dressing until right before the antivenin will be being given at a medical facility. Prompt treatment with antivenin will decrease the likelihood of morbidity (serious long-term side effects) and mortality (death) from the snake venom.\\nAntivenin contains antibodies (the blood cells your body uses to destroy anything foreign) against specific poisons found in the venom of snakes. It is made from the blood of horses or sheep exposed to the specific venom.\\nDo not listen to old wives’ tales about how to treat a snake bite. Do not apply mouth suction. Do not cut into the bite site. Do not apply hot or cold packs. Do not apply a tourniquet. Do not delay treatment trying to kill and bring in the snake.\\nTreat the bite like it is from a venomous snake if you cannot identify the type of snake.\\n2-11. Provide supportive care to the victim.\\nHelp him deal with any symptoms as they arise. Encourage him to stay still. But, antivenin therapy is the definitive treatment which will combat the poison(s) in the snake venom and help the victim feel better.\\nExpect general signs and symptoms such as swelling and redness around the bite, pain at the bite site, difficulty breathing, vomiting and nausea, blurred vision, sweating and salivating, numbness in the face and limbs, and decreased level of consciousness. Each snake venom has different side effects and you also could see convulsions, low blood pressure, and paralysis.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"The proper application of a pressure dressing after a serious injury could save your life or someone else's.

2,169 | How to Apply a Screen Protector | 1. Applying Without an Applicator
1-1. Get a screen protector.
They typically come custom-cut. (In a pinch, see the "Tips" to cut one down to fit.) There are a few basic materials:
Semi-hard, slick, clear soda-bottle style such as PET, the most common and generally best. (Gimmicky variations such as semi-reflective or matte can be fun, but less practical.)
Very hard, clear tempered glass, like a stronger microscope coverslip. Should have a plastic layer to hold together if damaged. Extremely scratch resistant, but brittle; tends to flake apart progressively once chipped.
Very tough, thick plastic such as polycarbonate. Provides direct impact protection. Not very scratch resistant--won't stay pretty. May reduce accuracy of touchscreens.
Soft vinyl plastic. Not recommended as generally less pleasant to use, but does prevent scratches.
1-2. Understand the limitations of a screen protector.
Screen protectors mostly ward off light cosmetic scrapes and scratches, not breakage--a particular danger for fancy cell phones with their all glass fronts and often minimal plastic edge cushioning. A "bumper" case that wraps around the front edge of a phone can provide fairly effective yet stylish impact protection. Keep it out of back pockets and other crush danger areas.
Ideal protection means getting a screen protector and a good case; a screen protector or case should ideally break and need replacement while protecting your phone from drops.
1-3. Find a low-dust workspace.
Anywhere indoors with calm air is a good start. You can improve things with steam. Running a hot shower works well, which fills the room with steam. When the steam has subsided, there will be less dust in the air than usual. This is the best time to apply the screen protector.
1-4. Wash your hands.
Dry them with a clean towel. Shake off any excessive lint.
1-5. Clean the screen.
Wipe it with a mild solvent like eyeglass cleaner or rubbing alcohol--or a damp soapy rag, which would not risk damage to low quality surrounding finishes. Rub it dry with a soft cloth and remove as much lint as possible with a blower or by wiping lightly with a lint free cloth, such as the microfiber wipe often provided with the screen protector.
If you are replacing an old screen protector, you may need to clean the glue residue.
1-6. Check placement of the screen protector.
Carefully remove it from its box or packaging.Before you lift its backing, position the screen protector over the screen to see how much margin to leave on each side and ensure clearance of features such as camera spots (with which the screen protector's less even surface would interfere) and microphone holes.
Avoid cutting glass screen protectors. You should purchase a screen protector that is the correct size of your device.
Some screen protector kits include guide stickers. Without removing the backing, place the screen protector as if to install. Use the guide stickers to create a hinge on one side for easy application.
Alternatively, you can stick a piece of tape on the top side of the screen protector (non-sticky side) to make it easier to place.
1-7. Remove residual bits of dust with a mild adhesive.
Dust is the most important thing to remove from under a screen protector: bubbles will eventually diffuse out through the plastic and tiny finger marks will probably merge with the glue, but dust specks stay. Lightly dab a sticky note (such as a "Post-it") all over the screen. Looking at the reflection of a bright area in the screen at an angle will confirm the presence or absence of dust. Quickly attach the screen protector before dust can gather!
Some screen protector kits include a special sticker to pick up dust.
Make sure you look at the screen at an angle to make sure there is no dust on the screen.
1-8. Stick on the screen protector, aligning an edge carefully.
Peel back the screen protector's backing from one end (leaving it on the other allows more control by holding that end). Align it with the correct edge of the screen, leaving the margin you determined previously and watching how the alignment of the sides perpendicular to it will fall. Then peel off the entire backing and smooth down the protector.
Avoid touching the sticky part of the screen protector. Handle it like you would CDs (i.e. without touching the bottom).
Keep the sticky side of the screen protector facing down once you peel off the backing. Dust is less likely to get stuck when you're applying it.
1-9. Problems?
Little mistakes like tiny dust specks should be ignored, as trying to fix them will do more harm than good, the screen protector will soon absorb worse damage exactly as intended, and it will eventually be replaced for a fresh one. If you need to reposition the screen protector, lift an edge carefully with a thin but not sharp implement like a piece of backing material, fingernail, or plastic spoon edge. If a big speck of dust is underneath, try fishing for it with a sticky note, length of cellophane style tape (such as "Scotch") or sticky note, taking care not to disturb the adhesive.
1-10. Remove air bubbles.
Wipe the air bubbles toward the edges with a smooth implement like a credit card. Don't do this forcefully unless the screen protector has a surface protector to peel off after installation: the air will eventually diffuse out and too much force could scratch the brand-new protector.
1-11. Finished!
Enjoy your gadget without fear.
2. Using an Applicator
2-1. Open the box with the screen protector.
The applicator is built into the packaging.
2-2. Lift the screen protector using the appropriate tab without peeling back the adhesive.
2-3. Insert the phone into the applicator.
Make sure that it fits, or exchange for a different screen protector size.
2-4. Clean the phone using the included microfiber cloth.
2-5. Peel the backing of the screen protector off.
2-6. Pull the applicator down to stick the screen protector on.
2-7. Squeegee until there are no air bubbles.
Use a credit/debit card or your fingernail.
2-8. Peel back the applicator, and remove the phone using the hole on the back.
Tips
Apply the screen protector as slowly and carefully as possible. There's nothing worse than a shaking hand when doing this.
Thin plastic screen protectors can be easily custom-cut, preferably with a paper cutter, slightly undersize to prevent edge lifting, and approximating rounded corners. Hold them firmly and cut off enough the first time: trying to trim off little slivers tends to lead to flexing and uneven edges.
To make bubble removal quicker, you can use a drop of water treated to reduce surface tension. Use a teaspoon of rubbing alcohol and/or a drop of dish soap in ¼ cup of water (from which you would take a large drop). Use scarcely to avoid liquid inside your device. Once the screen protector is installed, let it dry for a few hours.
Warnings
Dust is everywhere; take too long and it will land on your screen.
Do not get frustrated. Remember, a screen protector is a consumable item. It needs to be applied decently to protect the screen from far worse and it will eventually be replaced.

2,170 | How to Apply a Skin Traction | 1. Ensuring Safe, Consistent Traction
1-1. Clean and shave the leg.
Use soap and water to clean the limb. Make sure to clean the entire limb, not just the site of the injury. Shave the patient’s skin wherever traction straps will be applied. A single blade razor should be sufficient. Wipe away any leftover soap or shaving cream with a wet cloth and then pat dry with a clean towel. Make sure that the limb is totally dry.
Ask the patient if they are allergic to adhesive if adhesive skin traction has been prescribed (this is quite uncommon).
1-2. Do not apply skin traction to damaged skin.
Avoid using skin traction on a patient that has cuts, scrapes, or surgical incisions where you would need to apply the wrap. Similarly, do not use skin traction on a patient experiencing ulcers or numbness.
1-3. Administer painkillers if prescribed.
As skin traction can potentially be painful, a pain management strategy has likely been planned. Ensure that any necessary pain medication is administered and documented.
1-4. Explain the procedure.
Tell the patient why skin traction has been prescribed, and how it will help them. The procedure requires more explanation than some others, as the visual and tangible experiences associated with skin traction can be frightening. If administering skin traction to a child, explain the procedure to them as well.
For instance, explain what each piece of the traction apparatus is by saying something like "This material is called traction strapping. It adheres to the skin and helps pull your bone into the correct position." or "We will run this traction cord through this pulley, and attach a small amount of weight that will help keep your leg in alignment."
2. Applying Skin Traction to a Leg
2-1. Apply traction strapping.
Gently lift the straightened leg and pull it away from the patient’s body in the direction of their sole. Apply traction starting at, but not above, the fracture line. Run strapping down one side of the leg, around a 3-inch (7.5 cm) spreader, and up the other side of the leg. The spreader should extend approximately 6 inches (15 cm) beyond the end of the patient’s leg. The extra strap beneath the foot will appear like a loose stirrup.
Instead of a spreader, your facility may be equipped with a foam and metal stirrup that can be bent around the heel and ankle of the injured leg and wrapped onto the strap.
2-2. Pad the ankles while wrapping the leg.
At this point, you will carefully wrap the leg in crepe wrapping or gauze. As you do so, pad the sides of the ankle and any other bony areas, such as the sides of the knee. Wrap the leg in alternative spirals instead of consistent circles to reduce tightness. Start at the ankle and move upward in slow, even rotations. Conclude the wrap just before the end of the adhesive strip. The bandage should not go past the fracture.
If using a stirrup, make sure it is also wrapped securely into place above the traction tape.
2-3. Elevate the leg.
Usually, skin traction is used in tandem with weight resistance that helps apply pressure to the leg through the adhesive strip. If you’re using weights as well, elevate the leg. If possible, do so by elevating the end of the bed where the leg is resting. Once elevated, attach a traction cord through the spreader at the midpoint of the adhesive tape.
2-4. Apply weighted resistance as prescribed.
If weighted skin traction is to be used, a doctor will have prescribed a specific amount of weight to be attached to the end of the traction cords. Depending on the injury, this traction cord may run over the end of the bed with the weights hanging below. Alternatively, some scenarios may call for the use of pulley systems, with the weight on one side and the suspended leg on the other.
Never exceed 11 lbs. (4.99 kg) of weight.
You may need to shorten the traction cord to ensure that the weight is suspended in the air, as opposed to resting on the floor or bed.
3. Monitoring the Patient
3-1. Reduce pressure to keep skin healthy.
The condition of the patient’s skin should be steadily monitored. In particular, blisters and pressure sores may develop. Check the patient’s legs, heels, and bottom for sores or discomfort from maintaining a constant position. Place a rolled up towel or pillow beneath the patient’s heel to relieve undesired pressure. Further, encourage the patient to slightly adjust their position once per hour.
If using adhesive, watch out for a rash or other allergic reaction, as the pressure induced by traction may cause a reaction in patients who do not know they are mildly allergic.
Remove and reset the weight, including the stirrup, once every few hours to check skin condition.
Change wet sheets immediately.
3-2. Record neurovascular observations hourly.
Neurovascular issues and/or compartment syndrome may develop from overly tight wraps. Watch out for signs that blood circulation has slowed, such as discoloration or numbness. Remove the wrap and reapply if any neurovascular signs change during application of skin treatment. Contact the orthopedic team if circulation doesn’t quickly return.
3-3. Keep the patient entertained.
Though they are mostly immobile, try to keep the patient active. Have them sit up when able and read, do crafts, play games, or watch TV. This will improve comfort as well as hygiene. Further, constipation may also occur from immobility.
If the patient reports constant pain, ensure medication schedules have been kept, and contact a doctor if you feel those schedules may need to be revised.
Warnings
Avoid wrapping in circular patterns around the injured limb, since this can easily cut off circulation. This is caused when the wrapping is wound too tightly.
Because this treatment permanently alters the patient's bone structure, applying skin traction should always be done under the supervision of an orthopedic surgeon.
Skin traction can easily cause blistering in older patients. Do not use this treatment option if your patient is more than 50 years of age.

2,171 | How to Apply a Spray Underarm Deodorant | 1. Applying the Deodorant
1-1. Remove the appropriate pieces of clothing.
If you are applying deodorant without taking a shower first, take off your shirt and anything you may be wearing underneath that. Remove your clothes so you don’t spray them along with your skin. Keep them clean so you can tell later on if you are using too much, if and when traces of deodorant appear on your clothes after contact with your skin.
Deodorant can also be applied to your feet to reduce their smell and the risk of blisters. In this case, remove your socks instead!
1-2. Dry your skin.
Pat your skin with a towel. Remove all traces of moisture. Give your deodorant direct access to your pores without any blockage from sweat or water.
Definitely follow this rule if your deodorant doubles as an antiperspirant. The aluminum used in antiperspirants needs to enter your pores in order to prevent sweating.
If you are using pure deodorant instead, experiment with dry versus wet skin. Some people believe that deodorant works best with wet skin.
1-3. Spray your skin.
First, give the canister a few shakes to stir up the active ingredients. Aim the nozzle at the target area. Maintain a distance of at least six inches between the nozzle and your skin. Push the nozzle all the way down. Hold for one second, then release, to avoid creating an excessive cloud of spray. Wait until the mist disperses before applying more one-second bursts if needed. Recap the can when finished.
You should only need about two to three seconds’ worth of total spraying.
Hold your breath with your lips sealed while spraying to minimize the amount of mist that you breathe in.
Do not hold the can upside-down. If it isn’t held upright, the can may fail to spray its contents, even though it isn’t empty.
1-4. Rub the spray in, if needed.
Make sure the deodorant is applied over the entire area. Rub the residue around so that all of your pores receive an equal amount. If you have a significant amount of hair growing there, use your fingers to work the deodorant through the hair so that it reaches your skin.
You can also spray your hands directly and apply the deodorant to other areas by rubbing it in. This method may be preferable to your armpits, so that you don’t have to aim the nozzle so close to your face.
2. Choosing the Right Products
2-1. Consider your needs.
Choose deodorant to reduce body odor. Use antiperspirant to reduce both body odor and sweating. For pronounced problems, consult a doctor or athletic trainer for recommendations. Otherwise, consider the following:
Does a deodorant's scent complement your own after application?
Is a regular formula strong enough to last you all day, or would a longer-lasting or time-released formula be more beneficial?
Is your skin prone to allergic or other severe reactions to common ingredients like aluminum?
Is regular-strength deodorant sufficient to kill all of your odor-causing bacteria, or do you need an extra-strength formula?
2-2. Try a natural spray.
If you use antiperspirant as opposed to pure deodorant, be aware that most products contain some form of aluminum. Some debate exists over the possible link between this and cancer, plus other diseases. If this is a concern, try a “natural” product that uses mineral salts in place of aluminum derivatives. Avoid those with a high amount of zinc, since this can irritate the skin.
2-3. Experiment with different brands.
Find more than one that works well for your body. Expect your body to build a natural immunity to a particular formula after repeated use. Change your brand or formula of deodorant every half-year or sooner if you notice more B.O. To save money, start with sample or travel sizes, if available, to test each product's quality.
3. Using the Product Correctly
3-1. Choose a well-ventilated area.
Spray yourself outdoors or in a room that provides plenty of air circulation. Do not use in cramped bathrooms with small windows or no windows at all, especially if you have asthma. Allow plenty of air movement to dissipate the cloud of spray upon release so you don’t inhale it.
3-2. Follow the directions.
Expect commercials to portray actors using deodorants in a manner that is in direct contrast to the instructions on the can. Do not regard advertisements as visual demonstrations of proper usage. Read and follow the instructions on the packaging for safe use.
3-3. Keep the product away from children.
Store all chemical products out of reach from younger children as a general safe practice. But consider aerosol spray cans in particular as a tempting toy in the eyes of kids. Also, store cosmetic and hygienic products separately from other household items. Don’t confuse your children by spraying yourself with one aerosol product that came from the same cabinet where you keep, say, your foaming-bubble bathtub spray or WD40.

2,172 | How to Apply a Steak Rub | 1. Steps
1-1. Choose a steak
Thicker cuts of steak will stand up to the assertive flavors of a dry rub better than a thinner steak. If you are grilling a thinner cut, you should either choose a milder rub or apply a lesser amount of a stronger-flavored rub.
1-2. Find a rub recipe from a cookbook or online.
There are thousands of rub recipes. The most basic one includes only salt and pepper, which is already enough to bring out the flavor of a good-quality steak. Choose a rub that features the flavors that you enjoy or that will complement other foods you will be serving. Rub recipes are very forgiving. Ingredients are easily substituted or left out if they are not available.
1-3. Make the rub.
Ideally, a rub should be ground by hand in a mortar and pestle. This brings out the essential oils of the herbs and spices without over processing them. A spice or coffee grinder also can be used. Pre-ground will work fine if grinding your own spices isn't an option.
1-4. Apply the rub to the steak.
Liberally sprinkle the rub over one side of the steak and, with your fingers, massage the rub into the entire surface of the steak. Repeat this process on the other side of the steak.
1-5. Let the steak rest.
Wrap the steak tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least a few hours or up to 24 hours. Steaks that are cut more than about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) can rest for longer, if desired. This resting time allows for the flavors to penetrate into the flesh.
1-6. Grill the steak
As with all grilling, you should preheat your grill. Use a grill brush to clean the grates of any burned on food from previous grilling. Using tongs, dip a paper towel in some vegetable oil and wipe the grates to prevent the steaks from sticking. Remove the plastic from the rubbed steak and grill until they reach the desired doneness.
1-7. Finished.
Just before you serve your steak, you may squeeze a few drops of fresh lemon juice over it to enhance the flavor even more.
Tips
Resting is not essential if you do not have the time for it. The flavors will not penetrate as deeply into the meat, but the steak's flavor will still be heightened.
Store unused rub in an air-tight container for future use.
Warnings
When putting the rub on the steak, always sprinkle from a container. Never put fingers that have come in contact with raw meat into the rub. Always discard any rub that becomes contaminated through contact with raw meat.

2,173 | How to Apply a TCA Peel | 1. Preparing for a TCA Peel
1-1. Determine if you are a suitable candidate for a TCA peel.
TCA peels can have positive impacts on your skin by removing signs of aging and acne. However, there are certain instances when you should not apply a TCA peel. Do not use a TCA peel if you:
Have cuts, broken skin, or received a recent facial surgical procedure.
Have a sunburn.
Have active Herpes simplex 1 sores.
Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Have taken Accutane in the last year.
Have recently received chemotherapy or radiation treatment.
1-2. Use products that contain alpha hydroxy acids 5-7 days before the peel.
In order to prepare your skin for a TCA peel and make the treatment more effective, you should use a face product that contains AHAs, such as glycolic or lactic acids. There are a variety of creams, lotions, and toners available for your skin. Begin using this product approximately five to seven days before applying the peel.
1-3. Read all the instructions provided with the peel.
TCA peels can be purchased through online retailers or through a dermatologist. Once you have acquired a TCA solution, you should read and follow all of the instructions provided by the manufacturer. TCA peels can be highly acidic so it is very important that you follow all directions.
1-4. Test the TCA on a small patch of skin.
This way you will be able to determine if the acid solution is too strong or if you are allergic to the solution. For example, if you want to apply a TCA peel to your face, you should test a small patch of skin under your ear. This area is out of the way and will not be overly visible if you have a negative reaction. Always test the skin near the area you want to treat.
Rinse the test patch of skin once it starts to burn.
1-5. Wait 48 hours to apply the peel.
This way you will know how the peel will react on your skin. If the spot that was tested becomes itchy, red, or bumpy, you should not apply the peel to your skin. This is likely a sign that you are experiencing an allergic reaction.
2. Applying a TCA Peel
2-1. Cleanse your skin.
Immediately before you apply a TCA peel, you need to completely clean your skin. If you are applying the TCA peel to your face, you should remove all of your make up. Washing your face will help to remove any surface oils allowing the TCA solution to peel away a layer of skin.
2-2. Remove surface oils using a prep solution.
Some TCA peels will come with a prep solution that should be applied to your skin prior to administering the peel. These solutions help to fully dry out your skin and remove any lingering surface oils.
If you did not purchase a prep solution, you can apply witch hazel or diluted rubbing alcohol to your skin using gauze.
2-3. Apply petroleum jelly around the eyes, mouth, and nose.
If you are applying a TCA peel to your face, you want to protect some sensitive areas from the acid. In order to do this, use a cotton swab to apply a bit of petroleum jelly to your lips, and the skin around your eyes and nostrils. This will prevent the acid from damaging these sensitive areas.
You may want to wear safety goggles to prevent any TCA solution from dripping into your eyes. You will still have to apply petroleum jelly to your nose and mouth, however.
2-4. Put on latex gloves.
While working with the TCA solution, you want to be careful that the acid does not touch other areas of skin. As a result, you should always wear latex gloves to protect your hands from the acid. This is especially important if you are applying the TCA using gauze because it will likely come into contact with your fingers.
2-5. Pour the TCA solution into a small dish.
Place a small dish on your counter and pour some of the TCA solution into the dish. This will make it easy for you to dip your brush or gauze into the solution while you are applying the TCA to your skin.
2-6. Use gauze to apply TCA to your skin.
Dip a piece of gauze into the TCA solution. Then squeeze the gauze gently. You want the gauze to be wet, but not dripping. This will prevent the solution from running into your eyes. Then apply a thin layer of TCA to the desired area of skin. If you are applying the TCA to your face, you may want to divide the area into sections.
For example, start by applying the TCA solution to the right side of your face, then the left side, and do the forehead last. This will help prevent you from overlapping the solution.
You can also apply TCA using a makeup brush, but a brush is more likely to cause dripping.
2-7. Wait 2-5 minutes.
Once the solution has been applied to your skin, you should wait approximately two to five minutes. The time will vary depending on the strength of the solution, the number of peels you have performed, and your own skin type. It is normal for your skin to turn red and sting a bit while the peel is on your face.
If your skin begins to frost (i.e. turn white) or sting uncomfortably, you should begin neutralizing immediately by washing the solution off with water.
This is more likely to occur when using a stronger TCA of 15% or higher.
3. Removing a TCA Peel
3-1. Apply a post-peel neutralizer to your skin.
If you begin to experience frosting, you should apply a post-peel neutralizer to your skin. This typically comes with the TCA peel kit. Apply the neutralizer to your skin using a gauze or a soft cloth dipped in the neutralizer.
You can also make your own neutralizer by mixing 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 1 and a half cups (355 ml) of water.
3-2. Wash your face with water.
After the peel has been on for five minutes, you should wash it off by splashing water onto your face. You can also apply water by dabbing your skin with a wet cloth. This will help to remove the TCA from your skin and will help to neutralize the area.
3-3. Apply a healing ointment.
Once your skin is dry, apply a healing ointment to the skin. For example, try using emu oil or Bacitracin to help heal your skin following a TCA peel. You should reapply this solution a few times a day for at least 48 hours following the peel.
4. Recovering from a TCA Peel
4-1. Use SPF 30 sunscreen to protect your skin.
Your skin will likely peel for approximately five to seven days following the procedure and during this time you should avoid exposing your skin to the sun. Make sure to use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher during this time. Remember to reapply every two hours, or more if your skin has gotten wet or sweaty.
4-2. Drink lots of water.
TCA peels will dry out your skin. You can replenish the liquids in your skin by drinking lots of water. Try and consume at least eight cups of water per day following the application of a TCA peel.
4-3. Avoid picking at your skin.
If you used a stronger TCA solution, you skin will likely peel for a few days following the treatment. Do not pick at your skin. Instead, let it peel on its own. Picking the skin can lead to skin damage.
4-4. Wait 10-14 days for the final results to appear.
Do not apply another peel during this time. Although your skin may stop peeling prior to 14 days, the solution is still working on your face and the results will not fully appear for 10-14 days. Once the results are visible, you can determine if another treatment is necessary. TCA peels are quite strong, so if you notice positive results after the first peel, you likely do not need to perform another peel.
Tips
A TCA peel may leave your skin peeling for approximately 5-7 days depending on the strength of TCA used.[12]
X
Expert Source
Margareth Pierre-Louis, MDBoard Certified Dermatologist
Expert Interview. 15 May 2020.
As a result, you may want to book time off work or set aside a few days of down time following the peel.
Chemical TCA peels come in 8%, 13%, 20%, and 30% strength. You should begin by using a mild 8% TCA peel and then you can work your way to a stronger solution. This will prevent you from damaging your skin.
TCA peels can be performed about once a month depending on the strength of the TCA solution.
Warnings
If you get TCA in your eye, flush it out immediately with water and then seek medical attention.
TCA peels are strong and can damage your skin if applied incorrectly. If this is your first time doing a chemical peel, you should try a milder solution before doing a TCA peel or have a dermatologist apply the peel.

This is likely a sign that you are experiencing an allergic reaction.\\n2. Applying a TCA Peel\\n2-1. Cleanse your skin.\\nImmediately before you apply a TCA peel, you need to completely clean your skin. If you are applying the TCA peel to your face, you should remove all of your make up. Washing your face will help to remove any surface oils allowing the TCA solution to peel away a layer of skin.\\n2-2. Remove surface oils using a prep solution.\\nSome TCA peels will come with a prep solution that should be applied to your skin prior to administering the peel. These solutions help to fully dry out your skin and remove any lingering surface oils.\\nIf you did not purchase a prep solution, you can apply witch hazel or diluted rubbing alcohol to your skin using gauze.\\n2-3. Apply petroleum jelly around the eyes, mouth, and nose.\\nIf you are applying a TCA peel to your face, you want to protect some sensitive areas from the acid. In order to do this, use a cotton swab to apply a bit of petroleum jelly to your lips, and the skin around your eyes and nostrils. This will prevent the acid from damaging these sensitive areas.\\nYou may want to wear safety goggles to prevent any TCA solution from dripping into your eyes. You will still have to apply petroleum jelly to your nose and mouth, however.\\n2-4. Put on latex gloves.\\nWhile working with the TCA solution, you want to be careful that the acid does not touch other areas of skin. As a result, you should always wear latex gloves to protect your hands from the acid. This is especially important if you are applying the TCA using gauze because it will likely come into contact with your fingers.\\n2-5. Pour the TCA solution into a small dish.\\nPlace a small dish on your counter and pour some of the TCA solution into the dish. This will make it easy for you to dip your brush or gauze into the solution while you are applying the TCA to your skin.\\n2-6. Use gauze to apply TCA to your skin.\\nDip a piece of gauze into the TCA solution. Then squeeze the gauze gently. You want the gauze to be wet, but not dripping. This will prevent the solution from running into your eyes. Then apply a thin layer of TCA to the desired area of skin. If you are applying the TCA to your face, you may want to divide the area into sections.\\nFor example, start by applying the TCA solution to the right side of your face, then the left side, and do the forehead last. This will help prevent you from overlapping the solution.\\nYou can also apply TCA using a makeup brush, but a brush is more likely to cause dripping.\\n2-7. Wait 2-5 minutes.\\nOnce the solution has been applied to your skin, you should wait approximately two to five minutes. The time will vary depending on the strength of the solution, the number of peels you have performed, and your own skin type. It is normal for your skin to turn red and sting a bit while the peel is on your face.\\nIf your skin begins to frost (i.e. turn white) or sting uncomfortably, you should begin neutralizing immediately by washing the solution off with water.\\nThis is more likely to occur when using a stronger TCA of 15% or higher.\\n3. Removing a TCA Peel\\n3-1. Apply a post-peel neutralizer to your skin.\\nIf you begin to experience frosting, you should apply a post-peel neutralizer to your skin. This typically comes with the TCA peel kit. Apply the neutralizer to your skin using a gauze or a soft cloth dipped in the neutralizer.\\nYou can also make your own neutralizer by mixing 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 1 and a half cups (355 ml) of water.\\n3-2. Wash your face with water.\\nAfter the peel has been on for five minutes, you should wash it off by splashing water onto your face. You can also apply water by dabbing your skin with a wet cloth. This will help to remove the TCA from your skin and will help to neutralize the area.\\n3-3. Apply a healing ointment.\\nOnce your skin is dry, apply a healing ointment to the skin. For example, try using emu oil or Bacitracin to help heal your skin following a TCA peel. You should reapply this solution a few times a day for at least 48 hours following the peel.\\n4. Recovering from a TCA Peel\\n4-1. Use SPF 30 sunscreen to protect your skin.\\nYour skin will likely peel for approximately five to seven days following the procedure and during this time you should avoid exposing your skin to the sun. Make sure to use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher during this time. Remember to reapply every two hours, or more if your skin has gotten wet or sweaty.\\n4-2. Drink lots of water.\\nTCA peels will dry out your skin. You can replenish the liquids in your skin by drinking lots of water. Try and consume at least eight cups of water per day following the application of a TCA peel.\\n4-3. Avoid picking at your skin.\\nIf you used a stronger TCA solution, you skin will likely peel for a few days following the treatment. Do not pick at your skin. Instead, let it peel on its own. Picking the skin can lead to skin damage.\\n4-4. Wait 10-14 days for the final results to appear.\\nDo not apply another peel during this time. Although your skin may stop peeling prior to 14 days, the solution is still working on your face and the results will not fully appear for 10-14 days. Once the results are visible, you can determine if another treatment is necessary. TCA peels are quite strong, so if you notice positive results after the first peel, you likely do not need to perform another peel.\\nTips\\nA TCA peel may leave your skin peeling for approximately 5-7 days depending on the strength of TCA used.[12]\\nX\\nExpert Source\\n\\nMargareth Pierre-Louis, MDBoard Certified Dermatologist\\nExpert Interview. 15 May 2020.\\n\\n As a result, you may want to book time off work or set aside a few days of down time following the peel.\\nChemical TCA peels come in 8%, 13%, 20%, and 30% strength. You should begin by using a mild 8% TCA peel and then you can work your way to a stronger solution. This will prevent you from damaging your skin.\\nTCA peels can be performed about once a month depending on the strength of the TCA solution.\\nWarnings\\nIf you get TCA in your eye, flush it out immediately with water and then seek medical attention.\\nTCA peels are strong and can damage your skin if applied incorrectly. If this is your first time doing a chemical peel, you should try a milder solution before doing a TCA peel or have a dermatologist apply the peel.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"A TCA peel is a skin treatment that works by applying trichloracetic acid to your face.

2,174 | How to Apply a Temporary Tattoo | 1. Applying a Transfer Tattoo
1-1. Start with clean, dry skin.
Temporary tattoos are made with water-based ink, which means that they’re repelled by skin’s natural oils. Carefully clean the area you want to decorate with soap and water, and pat it dry with a paper towel.
If you’re very sweaty, rubbing alcohol can help cut the grease. Pour a little onto a cotton ball, and then wipe it on the area. Don’t do this every day, though--you could dry out your skin.
1-2. Pick out your tattoo.
Some temporary tattoos come individually packaged, which is easy. However, if the temporary tattoo you want to wear came on a sheet with several others, you’ll need to separate it. Cut around it with sharp scissors, being careful not to clip the design itself, until you’ve separated it from the “flash sheet.”
1-3. Peel off the clear backing.
At this point, your tattoo is protected by a thin layer of clear plastic. Carefully pick this off. You should be able to see the brightly-colored, mirror-image version of the tattoo you’re planning to apply to your skin.
From now on, the side with the ink, that was protected by clear plastic, will be called the face side.
1-4. Place the image face side down on your skin.
Confirm that you want to apply the tattoo to the spot you just cleaned, then place the face side against your skin. Don’t wiggle it around. Just hold it firmly in place while you move on to the next step.
1-5. Press a damp cloth or sponge over the tattoo paper.
Take a piece of fabric or a sponge that is neither bone dry nor soaking wet, and push it firmly against the backing of your tattoo. Hold it in place, and don’t let it slip around, even if it wants to.
1-6. Hold for at least 60 seconds.
To get the most complete image, you’ll need a bit of patience. Don’t even think about removing the cloth or the paper backing from your arm until a full minute has passed. While you’re sitting, try to move as little as possible.
1-7. Gently peel off the paper.
Start by lifting a single corner of the backing in order to peek at the tattoo. If the image looks weird, or isn't sticking to your skin, put the cloth or sponge back on and wait for another 30 seconds. If it does look good, then continue to slowly peel off the paper.
1-8. Wait for the tattoo to dry.
Keep being patient for around ten minutes. Resist the urge to poke your temporary tattoo. It’s best to sit reasonably still and not flex too much, to avoid wrinkling or smearing the tattoo, as well.
1-9. Dab on a bit of water-based lotion.
To make your tattoo last even longer, hydrate your skin by gently patting a bit of thin cream or lotion on top. Avoid thick, oil-based moisturizers, like petroleum jelly, which may smear the tattoo. If you want, you can dust baby powder over the top of the tattoo as well, to make it look more matte (and thus more realistic.)
2. Applying a Glitter Stencil Tattoo
2-1. Start with clean skin.
The process for applying glitter tattoos is a bit different than transfer or paper-backed tattoos, but they still need clean skin to adhere to. Wash down the area you want to tattoo with warm, soapy water, then pat it dry with a paper towel.
2-2. Select a stencil.
Not just any stencil will do! It’s best to get a stencil specially intended for glitter tattoos. These have an adhesive back that won’t hurt your skin too much as you peel it off. They can be found in glitter tattoo kits, or sold separately at party, big-box, or beauty supply stores. Apply the stencil of your choice wherever you want the glitter tattoo to be.
Make sure not to stick the stencil to a hairy place, or it’ll hurt to peel off.
2-3. Paint over the stencil with body-safe glue.
If you’ve purchased a glitter tattoo kit, it should come with a special body adhesive intended for skin; if not, you can purchase this separately. Apply a thin layer of the adhesive with a paintbrush so that it covers the skin left bare by the stencil. Then, wait for it to dry until it’s almost clear.
2-4. Apply glitter with a fresh paintbrush.
Now comes the fun part--getting the glitter on there! Dip a paintbrush in body-safe glitter (any cosmetic-grade glitter is fine) and dab it onto the skin inside the stencil. Have fun and experiment by blending and mixing glitters.
2-5. Peel off the stencil.
Once you’re comfortable with the amount of glitter you’ve used, take a corner of the stencil and peel it off the skin. Go slowly, so that you don’t disturb your fresh glitter tattoo too much.
2-6. Dust off extra glitter.
Once you’ve peeled off the stencil, you might notice a bit of fallout from the glitter. If that’s the case, use a large fluffy brush (a blush brush is perfect) to banish any wayward glitter flecks. It’s probably best to do this in an open area, so you don’t have to pick specks out of the carpet.
Tips
Smaller tattoos are usually easier to have because there's a less chance of it being destroyed when you remove the tattoo paper.
Try not to pick at the tattoo if you want it to last.

2,175 | How to Apply a Tourniquet | 1. Assessing the Injury
1-1. Discover where the blood is coming from.
If you find yourself in an emergency situation where someone (or an animal) is severely injured and bleeding, approach with confidence and reassurance. Helping someone in a life-threatening situation is brave, but you must try to discover and assess the injury as quickly as you can. Have the person lie down and find out where the blood is coming from.
Tourniquets only work on limb injuries, not trauma to the head or torso. Injuries to the head and torso require applied pressure with some absorptive material in order to slow or stop bleeding, not a tourniquet.
A severely injured person may also require basic life-saving measures, such as CPR (clearing airways, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, chest compressions) and shock prevention.
The term "tourniquet" originated in the late 1600s from the French word "tourner," which means to turn or tighten.
1-2. Apply pressure to the wound.
The majority of external bleeding injuries can be controlled by direct pressure. Therefore, grab something absorptive and preferably clean, such as a sterile gauze pad (although it may have to be your own shirt), and place it over the wound while applying significant pressure. The aim is to plug the wound and promote blood clotting, because blood will not coagulate while freely flowing. Gauze pads (or something absorptive such as terrycloth or cotton fabric) work well to prevent the blood from escaping the wound. If the gauze, towel, or article of clothing soaks through with blood, add another layer — don't take off the original make-shift bandage. Peeling off a blood-soaked bandage from the wound removes the quickly forming clotting factors and encourages bleeding to resume. However, if the wound is too severe and the bleeding cannot be stopped with applied pressure, then (and only then) should you consider a tourniquet.
If left uncontrolled, bleeding will eventually lead to shock, then death.
If at all possible, use latex or similar types of gloves while in contact with the blood of another person as it will help stop the transmission of certain diseases.
Even if you have to use a tourniquet, leave the make-shift bandage on the wound because it will help promote clotting when the blood flow slows down.
Elevate the wound if possible. Often the combination of pressure and reducing the pull of gravity on the flow of blood in the vessels will be enough to stop the bleeding and allow clot formation.
1-3. Calm the injured person down.
In any emergency situation, panic is a detriment, so try to calm the person down in a reassuring tone. Prevent them from looking at their wound and the bleeding if you can, as many people are frightened by the sight of blood. You should inform them of your actions though, such as when you apply a bandage and/or a tourniquet. It's also important for the person to know that medical help is on the way.
Try to make a quick 911 emergency phone call (or ask a bystander) as soon as you are able. In most severe injuries, the use of a bandage and/or tourniquet is merely buying time so that trained medical personnel can take over and do what's necessary.
Make the injured person as comfortable as possible while you're giving them help. Put something padded underneath their head.
2. Applying the Tourniquet
2-1. Select an appropriate material.
If you have a well-designed medical tourniquet at your disposal then that's great, but in most emergency situations you'll have to improvise. In the absence of a specially designed tourniquet, choose something that is strong and pliable (although not too stretchy), but long enough to tie around the injured limb.
Good choices would be a necktie, bandana, leather belt, straps from knapsack or handbag, cotton shirt or long stocking.
To minimize cutting into the skin, ensure that the improvised tourniquet is at least an inch wide and preferable two to three inches in width. If the tourniquet is for a finger, a somewhat smaller width is fine, but avoid string, twine, dental floss, wire, etc.
In an emergency situation with lots of blood, you need to resign yourself to the fact that you'll be getting blood on your clothes, so don't hesitate to use an article of clothing for a tourniquet.
2-2. Apply the tourniquet between the heart and injury.
Place your tourniquet around the injured limb, between the open wound and the heart (or proximal to the wound) — the purpose is to cut off the strong blood flow within arteries leaving the heart, not the more superficial veins returning blood back to the heart. More specifically, place your tourniquet about two to four inches away from the edge of the wound. Don't place it directly over the wound because the arteries upstream from the injury will still drain into and out from the open wound.
For wounds that are just below a joint (such as the elbow or knee), place your tourniquet just above and as close to the joint as you can.
Your tourniquet should have some padding underneath it to prevent skin damage, so use the victim's clothing (pant leg or shirt sleeve) to place under it if you can.
If your tourniquet is long enough, wrap it around the injured limb numerous times, keeping it as flat as possible. You want the tourniquet to stop blood flow in the arteries, but not cut into and damage any soft tissues while doing so.
2-3. Use a stick or rod for tightening.
Tying a regular knot after you have tightly wrapped your tourniquet may not be sufficient to control the flow of blood, especially if the material expands a little when wet. Use some sort of elongated wooden or plastic stick or rod (at least four inches long) as a torsion device.
First, tie a half-knot with the tourniquet, then place the rigid object on top before tying a full knot over it.
You can then twist the elongated object until the tourniquet is tight around the injured limb and the bleeding stops.
Small tree branches, a screwdriver or wrench, thin flashlights, or thick marker pens all work well as torsion devices for tourniquets.
3. Reducing Complications
3-1. Don't leave the tourniquet on too long.
Tourniquet use is temporary and short-term only, although there is no research that indicates exactly the time limit before the lack of blood supply starts to cause tissue death (necrosis), as all people are physiologically a little different.
If necrosis sets in, then leg amputation is very likely. As a general guideline, two hours is considered the length of time a tourniquet can be tied before neuromuscular injury begins (loss of normal function) and perhaps three to four hours before necrosis becomes a serious concern. However, in an emergency situation with no medical help close by, you may have to make the choice of sacrificing a limb to save a life.
If you think medical help will take longer than two hours to arrive, then cool the limb down with ice or cold water (while elevated) if you can — it may help delay tissue injury and loss of function.
Mark the victim's forehead with a "T" to indicate a tourniquet has been applied, and also note the time when it was applied so medical personnel know.
3-2. Keep the wound as clean as you can.
Ideally, your tourniquet will stop or considerably slow down the flow of arterial blood from the wound, although you should still take care to prevent any debris from landing on the injury. Any open wound is at risk of infection. Before applying a pressure bandage, rinsing the wound with clean water is a good idea, but once the gauze or bandage is applied you shouldn't remove it. However, you can prevent debris from landing on the make-shift bandage by covering it with a blanket or article of clothing.
If you don't have any latex gloves to wear, look around or ask any bystanders for some hand sanitizer before you touch the wound.
If you have sterile saline available, this is the best for cleaning wounds. Otherwise, alcohol, vinegar, natural honey, hydrogen peroxide, and bleach are all good antiseptics that may be available for you to use on your hands or the victim's injury before you dress it.
3-3. Provide warmth and hydration.
If medical help is delayed for whatever reason, then the victim is likely to experience some shivering and severe thirst from blood loss. The degree to which they will experience these issues depends on the environmental conditions and amount of lost blood. Find a blanket or some clothing to keep the victim warm and give them water or juice to drink. Shivering may also be a sign of hypovolemic shock, which also causes rapid breathing, confusion, anxiety, clammy skin, bluish coloring, and loss of consciousness.
There may not be much you can do to prevent shock, but you can tell the medical personnel your observations when they arrive.
The greater and more rapid the loss of blood, the more severe the shock symptoms.
Post-tourniquet syndrome typically lasts from one to six weeks and includes weakness, numbness, pallor, and stiffness in the injured limb.
Tips
Using a tourniquet to stop bleeding prior to starting CPR efforts may help preserve the victim’s blood volume.[14]

2,176 | How to Apply a Triangle Choke from Open Guard in Mixed Martial Arts | 1. Steps
1-1. Begin by laying on your back with your legs apart.
Your opponent's torso is in between your legs. This is called open guard as his movement is restricted slightly by your legs but not as much as it would be if your legs were wrapped around his torso or in “closed” guard.
Now while your opponent is trapped in your guard he will typically be trying to throw punches or elbows into your face to do damage while looking for a way to escape. The key to begin setting up your triangle choke is to grab one of his arms while he is trying to punch you and to deflect it so it moves beside your head instead of hitting it. You also want to try to keep a hold of his arm in the process.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/0f\/Apply-a-Triangle-Choke-from-Open-Guard-in-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Step-1Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Apply-a-Triangle-Choke-from-Open-Guard-in-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Step-1Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/0f\/Apply-a-Triangle-Choke-from-Open-Guard-in-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Step-1Bullet1.jpg\/aid492466-v4-728px-Apply-a-Triangle-Choke-from-Open-Guard-in-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Step-1Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
1-2. Start positioning yourself.
Once your opponent's attack has been deflected and his other arm pushed out of the way you start to position your own body. You do this by using your legs to push your body forward on the ground so your opponents is further away from your head. With some practice you should be able to position your own body at the same time you are protecting yourself from the attack and maneuvering the punches.
1-3. Pivot your hips forward.
After the previous steps have been completed your opponent should be off balance. You then want to pivot your hips forward to send your opponents body further down yours.
1-4. You now want to find a way to maneuver your one leg over the arm of your opponent that was pushed down and away from you thus making it easier when it comes time to sink in the choke.
By now you should be in a position where your opponents head is down by your hips. You should also still have a firm hold of their one arm right by your shoulder. At this stage you begin to raise your legs up and over your opponents head.

1-5. You want to begin wrapping your one leg around your opponent's head and shoulders always making sure his own arm is trapped in front of his own neck and head while you bring your foot towards your other leg.
1-6. You now want to wrap your knee around the ankle of your other foot securing your opponent in place.
You can grab your shin to pull the leg across your opponent's back to ease this step, but don't pull on your foot as this can break your ankle.
1-7. Using your legs you want to apply as much pressure as you can to the head and neck of your opponent.
You will notice that his own arm being forced against the neck restricts the airflow of your opponent. You can use one of your hands to pull down on your own foot to apply even more pressure which tightens the choke.
1-8. Hold the choke until your opponent either taps out, or the referee jumps in to stop the fight.
Tips
You can pull down on your opponent's head to increase the effectiveness of the choke.
Make sure your opponent's shoulder is out of the triangle, not in.
If everything has been done properly, the triangle choke can be accomplished in a matter of seconds.
Warnings
This demonstration was done by a trained professional in a controlled environment. This is meant for instructional purposes only and should only be attempted by, or under the supervision of professionals or qualified instructors.

2,177 | How to Apply a Wallsticker | 1. Steps
1-1. Prepare your wall.
First up, you need to make sure your wall’s ready for that wall sticker. Applying a wall sticker onto a freshly painted wall is a big NO. Make sure the wall sticker goes onto a wall with the paint coating over it in fairly cured and strong form.
One other thing is that getting a wall sticker onto a coarse textured wall surface is going to be tricky. The vinyl of the wall sticker wouldn’t properly adhere to the wall surface. A proper bonding is always obtained on a smooth surface.
Now that those are considered, and you’ve finalized on your wall and you’re bent on the transformation, keep in mind that a dust covered wall isn’t one of those things you’d want when you get a wall sticker on. The dust reduces the sticker adhesion.
1-2. Wipe the wall with a damp sponge or cloth evenly, and then remove any traces of moisture with a dry cloth afterwards.
Now your wall’s all ready to get that sticker slapped on.
1-3. Get the layout sorted.
The next thing to do now after your wall has been sorted out for the sticker is to get your stickers arranged, and to figure which goes where, especially if the wall sticker you’ve chosen is a jigsaw of stickers.
Just lay it on the ground and do a rough layout quickly, and then afterwards, while you’ve got it all figured out, get a roll of tape and stick the top parts of the stickers onto the wall and in position with the tape.
Make sure the stickers aren’t cluttered, and if you’re confused still, make demarcations with a charcoal piece or a paper to sort it out. You're getting somewhere now.
1-4. Apply the sticker.
Before we get down and sticky with things, keep in mind there are three things on the wall sticker cutting you’ve received- the die cut vinyl which is your actual wall sticker, the wax paper which is the thick layer behind the vinyl and the application tape, which is used to place the vinyl in position before adhesion onto the wall, which is the top layer of the cutting you’ve received. #*Making sure the sticker is in tune to the demarcation lines, remove the wax paper backing and pulling the sticker towards you and making sure it is sufficiently taut, bring the bottom towards the wall and firmly press it onto the wall. Now, use a slightly blunt edged object such as a credit card to squeegee out all the air bubbles stuck between the wall and the application tape.
Make sure you go over and over again as you smoothen out the application tape with the squeegee, removing as much air bubbles as you can. Now you’re all ready for the last move.
1-5. Remove the masking.
Now, this here is a little tricky. Pry out one corner of the application masking from the wall and slowly tug along the topside, along an edge, till you’ve got one edge of it freed from the wall.
Now, tug the application masking downwards, at about 180 degrees to the wall surface, firmly. No hurry now, no evil genius is going to end the world in a minute with some evil contraption, so take all the time you want to get the masking off.
1-6. Make sure that the vinyl bits of your wall sticker visible now have stuck firmly to the wall.
If you see any bits of the vinyl sticking to the applicator as you tug it down, don’t cuss at the sticker, instead just trace the application masking back to how it was and then using the squeegee, smoothen it out and then tug again, it should be in place now. Keep pulling till you’ve completely freed the application masking from the vinyl.

2,178 | How to Apply a Wig | 1. Prepping Your Hair and Head
1-1. Pick a wig type.
There are three major kinds of wigs: the full lace, the partial or front lace, and the non-lace. There are also three main materials they can be made out of, which are human hair, animal hair, and synthetic hair. Each wig type has its pros and cons, so make sure you buy the wig that is best for you.
The full lace wig is made with a lace mesh cap and the hair sewn into it throughout. It gives you a natural-looking hairline, is more frequently made with human or animal hair, and is easier to style because it can be parted anywhere. It also allows for more comfort when you are wearing it because it breathes more. The downside is that these wigs can often much more expensive than other types of wigs. These can also get damaged easier because they are not made of more durable fabric.
The front or partial lace wig is made with lace mesh at the front instead of all the way around. It gives you a natural-looking hairline on your forehead, but it is made of more durable materials around the main part of your head. These wigs can be made of any of the materials such as human, horse, Brazilian, or synthetic and are cheaper than full lace wigs. The downside is that these wigs are not as natural looking as full lace and can be harder to style because of the way the wig is made.
Non-lace wigs are made on materials such as nylon mesh. These wigs can be made with any type of hair material, are more durable, and are much less expensive than other wigs. The downside is that these wigs don't look as realistic as other wigs and don't blend into the hairline as easily as lace wigs.
1-2. Prepare your hair.
You need to fix your hair so it will not make bumps or uneven places once you have your wig on. Whether you have long or short hair, you need to ensure that all of your natural hair is pulled back from your hairline so it won't be visible under the wig.
If your hair is long, you can separate the hair into two pieces and twist them, crossing the two pieces behind your head. Attach them across the top and bottom with bobby pins.
If you have long and thick hair, you can do small 1 inch (2.5 cm) twists curls and pin them all around your hair. Grab a 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide portion of your hair and twist it, wrapping the end around your forefinger. Curl the strand down toward your head, making a 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide circle with your hair. Once all the hair is in the curl, pin it with two bobby pins, making an X over the curl. Do this for the entirety of your hair. This will give you a smooth surface on which to apply your wig.
Shorter hair can simply be combed and pinned away from the hairline. Try to get your hair as flat against your head as you can. You can also use a stretchy cloth headband or similar item to push your hair away from your hairline.
1-3. Prepare your skin.
Wipe the skin around your hairline with a cotton pad dipped in an alcohol solution. This removes any access oils and impurities from your skin, which will help the glue or adhesive tape stick better to your skin. Next, apply a scalp protector, which can be a spray, gel, and cream, to the areas around your scalp. This will protect this sensitive skin from irritation and damage from the glue or adhesive tape.
Even if you don't have hair and have skipped the previous step, make sure you prepare your skin.
1-4. Put on a wig cap.
You can use either a net wig cap or a skin-toned nylon wig cap. The net cap breathes a little more while the skin toned cap mimics the color of your scalp under your wig. To apply, gently stretch the cap over your head and line it up perfectly with your hairline, making sure all of your hair is underneath it. Secure it in place with a few bobby pins around the outer edges.
Whether you have long or short hair, you need to use a wig cap under your wig. If you don't have any hair, this step is optional. It may prevent some wig slippage but isn't necessary to help smooth out the hair area.
1-5. Apply the glue or adhesive tape.
For the wig glue, dip a small makeup brush into the glue and apply a thin layer of it around your hairline. Let it dry. This may take a few minutes. You will know it is done when the glue is no longer thin and wet and is instead sticky and tacky. For the adhesive tape, gentle place double-sided strips along your hairline, securing it to your skin. Leave a small space between each strip of tape. This will ensure that moisture can get out when you sweat and it won't compromise an entire section of tape. You don't have to let the tape dry.
To ensure that the wig and wig cap doesn't slip, apply the glue or tape slightly on the edge of the cap. This will adhere to the wig, the cap, and your skin together, making it more stable.
You can use a combination of these two methods. It is up to you.
You don't have to apply glue or tape to your entire scalp line, but make sure you place some at the front of the forehead and on your temples. These are necessary areas for a natural-looking wig. You can then choose any other areas which you think need it and place the adhesives there.
2. Applying the Wig
2-1. Prepare the wig.
Before you can apply the wig, you need to make sure the wig hairs won't get caught in the glue or adhesive tape. Make sure you pull all of the wig hair into a ponytail. Or, if the wig hair is short, clip back the hair closest to the edge.
If you are working with a full or half lace wig, cut the lace to match your hairline. Make sure you don't cut too much off and disrupt the natural hairline of the wig. Leave a little bit on the edge so it can be glued to your head in a natural-looking way.
Don't worry about styling your wig now. It will get messed up during the application process. You will be able to style it after the application.
2-2. Place the wig on your head.
Hold your finger at the area of the wig that will be at the center of your forehead. Put it over your head and gently lay it down on your scalp, centering your finger on your forehead. After this, gently pull the rest of the wig over your head. Make sure you keep the sides away from the adhesive as much as possible so it doesn't stick before you're ready.
Don't bend over and put your wig on upside down. This will give your wig an uncentered look and might stick parts of the hair to the adhesive material before you're ready.
If you are putting a wig on for the first time, allow enough time to adjust the wig before you need to leave the house. It may take practice to get it perfect.
2-3. Secure the wig.
Regardless of the type of adhesive you used, you need to secure the wig to your head. Once you have your wig where you want it, use a fine-toothed comb to gently press down the front edges of the wig. If you're using a lace wig, make sure the lace areas are smooth against your head, making a natural hairline. Once the front half of your wig is secure, wait 15 minutes for it to set. Then follow the same steps as the front on the back portion. Wait 15 more minutes before you style to ensure the wig is secure.
You can also use bobby pins to make your wig feel more secure. Place bobby pins through the top of your wig, hooking them into your wig cap and hair underneath. Do this more towards the middle to ensure they aren't visible.
Once it's in place, check to see if there is any glue residue visible under the wig. If there is, remove it by gently rubbing the areas with a cotton pad dipped in an alcohol solution.
If you don't get the placement of your wig right on the first try, gently run a Q-tip dipped in alcohol solution around the area to detach it from your skin. Re-position your wig and reapply.
2-4. Style and accessorize.
Once your wig is completely secure, you are free to style your hair as you wish. You can be as fun and adventurous as you want. Wigs can be braided, curled, or accessorized to your heart's content. If you have a synthetic wig, avoid heating the strands because they may melt or get damaged.
You can have your wig cut into a style that fits your face before you apply it. This will make the wig feel more like you and appear more natural on your head.
Remember that less is always better. Whether your wig is made of human hair, animal hair, or synthetic materials, don't use too much product because it leaves a residue on your wig.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Prepping Your Hair and Head\\n1-1. Pick a wig type.\\nThere are three major kinds of wigs: the full lace, the partial or front lace, and the non-lace. There are also three main materials they can be made out of, which are human hair, animal hair, and synthetic hair. Each wig type has its pros and cons, so make sure you buy the wig that is best for you.\\nThe full lace wig is made with a lace mesh cap and the hair sewn into it throughout. It gives you a natural-looking hairline, is more frequently made with human or animal hair, and is easier to style because it can be parted anywhere. It also allows for more comfort when you are wearing it because it breathes more. The downside is that these wigs can often much more expensive than other types of wigs. These can also get damaged easier because they are not made of more durable fabric.\\nThe front or partial lace wig is made with lace mesh at the front instead of all the way around. It gives you a natural-looking hairline on your forehead, but it is made of more durable materials around the main part of your head. These wigs can be made of any of the materials such as human, horse, Brazilian, or synthetic and are cheaper than full lace wigs. The downside is that these wigs are not as natural looking as full lace and can be harder to style because of the way the wig is made.\\nNon-lace wigs are made on materials such as nylon mesh. These wigs can be made with any type of hair material, are more durable, and are much less expensive than other wigs. The downside is that these wigs don't look as realistic as other wigs and don't blend into the hairline as easily as lace wigs.\\n1-2. Prepare your hair.\\nYou need to fix your hair so it will not make bumps or uneven places once you have your wig on. Whether you have long or short hair, you need to ensure that all of your natural hair is pulled back from your hairline so it won't be visible under the wig.\\nIf your hair is long, you can separate the hair into two pieces and twist them, crossing the two pieces behind your head. Attach them across the top and bottom with bobby pins.\\nIf you have long and thick hair, you can do small 1 inch (2.5 cm) twists curls and pin them all around your hair. Grab a 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide portion of your hair and twist it, wrapping the end around your forefinger. Curl the strand down toward your head, making a 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide circle with your hair. Once all the hair is in the curl, pin it with two bobby pins, making an X over the curl. Do this for the entirety of your hair. This will give you a smooth surface on which to apply your wig.\\nShorter hair can simply be combed and pinned away from the hairline. Try to get your hair as flat against your head as you can. You can also use a stretchy cloth headband or similar item to push your hair away from your hairline.\\n1-3. Prepare your skin.\\nWipe the skin around your hairline with a cotton pad dipped in an alcohol solution. This removes any access oils and impurities from your skin, which will help the glue or adhesive tape stick better to your skin. Next, apply a scalp protector, which can be a spray, gel, and cream, to the areas around your scalp. This will protect this sensitive skin from irritation and damage from the glue or adhesive tape.\\nEven if you don't have hair and have skipped the previous step, make sure you prepare your skin.\\n1-4. Put on a wig cap.\\nYou can use either a net wig cap or a skin-toned nylon wig cap. The net cap breathes a little more while the skin toned cap mimics the color of your scalp under your wig. To apply, gently stretch the cap over your head and line it up perfectly with your hairline, making sure all of your hair is underneath it. Secure it in place with a few bobby pins around the outer edges.\\nWhether you have long or short hair, you need to use a wig cap under your wig. If you don't have any hair, this step is optional. It may prevent some wig slippage but isn't necessary to help smooth out the hair area.\\n1-5. Apply the glue or adhesive tape.\\nFor the wig glue, dip a small makeup brush into the glue and apply a thin layer of it around your hairline. Let it dry. This may take a few minutes. You will know it is done when the glue is no longer thin and wet and is instead sticky and tacky. For the adhesive tape, gentle place double-sided strips along your hairline, securing it to your skin. Leave a small space between each strip of tape. This will ensure that moisture can get out when you sweat and it won't compromise an entire section of tape. You don't have to let the tape dry.\\nTo ensure that the wig and wig cap doesn't slip, apply the glue or tape slightly on the edge of the cap. This will adhere to the wig, the cap, and your skin together, making it more stable.\\nYou can use a combination of these two methods. It is up to you.\\nYou don't have to apply glue or tape to your entire scalp line, but make sure you place some at the front of the forehead and on your temples. These are necessary areas for a natural-looking wig. You can then choose any other areas which you think need it and place the adhesives there.\\n2. Applying the Wig\\n2-1. Prepare the wig.\\nBefore you can apply the wig, you need to make sure the wig hairs won't get caught in the glue or adhesive tape. Make sure you pull all of the wig hair into a ponytail. Or, if the wig hair is short, clip back the hair closest to the edge.\\nIf you are working with a full or half lace wig, cut the lace to match your hairline. Make sure you don't cut too much off and disrupt the natural hairline of the wig. Leave a little bit on the edge so it can be glued to your head in a natural-looking way.\\nDon't worry about styling your wig now. It will get messed up during the application process. You will be able to style it after the application.\\n2-2. Place the wig on your head.\\nHold your finger at the area of the wig that will be at the center of your forehead. Put it over your head and gently lay it down on your scalp, centering your finger on your forehead. After this, gently pull the rest of the wig over your head. Make sure you keep the sides away from the adhesive as much as possible so it doesn't stick before you're ready.\\nDon't bend over and put your wig on upside down. This will give your wig an uncentered look and might stick parts of the hair to the adhesive material before you're ready.\\nIf you are putting a wig on for the first time, allow enough time to adjust the wig before you need to leave the house. It may take practice to get it perfect.\\n2-3. Secure the wig.\\nRegardless of the type of adhesive you used, you need to secure the wig to your head. Once you have your wig where you want it, use a fine-toothed comb to gently press down the front edges of the wig. If you're using a lace wig, make sure the lace areas are smooth against your head, making a natural hairline. Once the front half of your wig is secure, wait 15 minutes for it to set. Then follow the same steps as the front on the back portion. Wait 15 more minutes before you style to ensure the wig is secure.\\nYou can also use bobby pins to make your wig feel more secure.

2,180 | How to Apply at McDonald's | 1. Obtaining and Submitting Your Application
1-1. Check to make sure you meet the requirements for a job at McDonald’s.
Restaurant jobs at McDonald’s don’t have a specific minimum age requirement, although your state or local government may have limitations on how old a person must be before getting a job. Most individual locations require you to be at least 18 years old to work as a manager.
Some states will allow people as young as 14 to work as cashiers or other non-food service personnel.
The types of entry-level positions you can apply for at McDonald’s typically include crew member (general restaurant staff member), maintenance, and beverage specialist (the person who runs the McCafe station). These positions don’t require any prior experience.
Management positions can include shift manager, assistant manager, and department manager. Note that management positions typically require at least some prior experience at McDonald’s or another food service establishment.
1-2. Ask for a job application at your local McDonald’s or look for one online.
There is an online jobs portal on the McDonald’s website, but many restaurants don’t actually participate in this hiring portal. This means that the most reliable way to get an application is to just go into the restaurant and ask for one.
The URL to search for McDonald’s jobs online is: https://mcdonalds.jibeapply.com/us-restaurants/jobs
You can typically just ask a cashier working the register to hand you an application. If you see the restaurant manager, ask them for the application so that they’ll know you want a job.
1-3. Fill out your application completely and correctly.
You’ll have to provide information that will be used to perform a background check on you, such as your full name, Social Security number, and address, so it’s important that this information all be accurate. Try to provide as much information as possible in order to make hiring you an easier process.
For example, if you have previous work experience, list your former employer’s name, address, and telephone number on your application, rather than just their name.
Avoid leaving any parts of your application blank, if you can. Answer as many questions as you can, even if they aren’t required.
Be sure to indicate your availability on your application, including how many hours a week you can work and on which days. Remember that the more hours you can work, the stronger applicant you’ll be.
1-4. Submit your application to the restaurant manager or online.
Handing your application directly to the manager will allow them to match your application to your face. This will hopefully make them look more favorably on your application. If the manager isn’t around, you can also simply give your application to one of the crew members.
If your application is online, you can simply hit the “Submit” button in order to turn it in.
You can expect to hear back from the restaurant’s hiring manager within 1-2 weeks of handing in your application.
2. Taking the Assessment Test
2-1. Speak to the hiring manager to schedule your assessment test.
The hiring manager will call you after they have read your application to schedule a 5-minute interview and this test. This manager will have you come into their restaurant to pick up your test and either complete it there or take it home and bring it back.
If you don’t hear from the hiring manager within 2 weeks of turning in your application, call the restaurant directly to ask about your application status.
2-2. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to take the test.
The assessment test is composed of 64 questions that ask how you react to certain situations. As a result, it may take you 1-2 hours to completely fill it out.
2-3. Select those answers you most identify with to complete the test.
The assessment test is essentially a personality test, so there are no right or wrong answers. Just answer each question based on how you feel you would act in the situation described.
For example, a question on the assessment test might read, “A customer approaches you and insists that one of your coworkers insulted them. What do you do?”
Most of the questions center around scenarios involving conflict, often between a customer and a member of the staff.
2-4. Give your finished test to the manager and wait to be called back.
Stick around and go over the answers to your test if the manager invites you to. Otherwise, it should take them less than a week to get back to you to either schedule your final interview or tell you you will not be hired.
The assessment test is scored on a color rubric, from green to yellow to red. Only those tests that score in the red result in the application being terminated.
3. Interviewing for the Job
3-1. Prepare answers for some common interview questions ahead of time.
The interviewer is likely to ask you questions about why you want to work for McDonald’s, what your strengths and weaknesses are, and where you see yourself in 5 years. By preparing answers to these predictable questions ahead of time, you can seem much more composed and prepared in your interview.
Other questions you can expect to be asked include “Why should I hire you?”, “Are you good at math?”, and “How many hours can you work?”
If you can, have someone ask you these questions and practice giving your answers verbally.
3-2. Dress in business casual attire
You’ll want to look professional without looking over-the-top. If you have long hair, be sure to tie it back. Refrain from wearing any jewelry on your hands and arms.
For men, a business casual outfit would probably include a collared shirt, dress pants, and formal leather shoes.
For women, a business casual outfit might include a skirt or dress that falls just above the knee, formal pants (if you choose not to wear a skirt or dress), a conservative shirt that isn’t too revealing, and flat trouser shoes or high heels.
If you have any tattoos, it’s a good idea to cover these up if they’re otherwise visible.
3-3. Show up for your interview on time with your resume and references.
Bring a copy of both your resume and a references sheet for the interviewer to look over as they ask you questions. You may also want to bring something to write on so you can take notes about the job during the interview.
Remember, it’s much better to arrive 15 minutes early to an interview than it is to arrive 15 minutes late.
3-4. Emphasize any skills you have that make you a good fit for the job.
Talk about any prior restaurant or customer service experience you have had whenever you have the opportunity to. If you don’t have this kind of experience, simply talk about those traits that would make you a great addition to the restaurant staff.
For example, talk about traits like strong leadership skills, good time management skills, or the ability to work well with others.
3-5. Be as flexible as you can when it comes to availability.
The manager will want to hire a candidate who can work a lot of hours, so having a flexible availability will make you a much stronger applicant. Tell the interviewer your most optimistic guess of how many hours you can reasonably work each week.
Don’t lie about your availability by saying you’re available when you actually aren’t. Just be truthful about how much free time you currently have and how much of that time you could actually spend working.
3-6. Wait to be contacted by the hiring manager about the job.
If they don’t offer you the job right away, the interviewer or hiring manager may just need a day or 2 to talk over your answers. If you don’t hear back about the job within 3-5 days, call the manager and ask about your application status.
At the end of your interview, feel free to ask questions like "What next steps should I take?" or "When can I expect to hear from you?"

Give your finished test to the manager and wait to be called back.\\nStick around and go over the answers to your test if the manager invites you to. Otherwise, it should take them less than a week to get back to you to either schedule your final interview or tell you you will not be hired.\\nThe assessment test is scored on a color rubric, from green to yellow to red. Only those tests that score in the red result in the application being terminated.\\n3. Interviewing for the Job\\n3-1. Prepare answers for some common interview questions ahead of time.\\nThe interviewer is likely to ask you questions about why you want to work for McDonald’s, what your strengths and weaknesses are, and where you see yourself in 5 years. By preparing answers to these predictable questions ahead of time, you can seem much more composed and prepared in your interview.\\nOther questions you can expect to be asked include “Why should I hire you?”, “Are you good at math?”, and “How many hours can you work?”\\nIf you can, have someone ask you these questions and practice giving your answers verbally.\\n3-2. Dress in business casual attire\\nYou’ll want to look professional without looking over-the-top. If you have long hair, be sure to tie it back. Refrain from wearing any jewelry on your hands and arms.\\nFor men, a business casual outfit would probably include a collared shirt, dress pants, and formal leather shoes.\\nFor women, a business casual outfit might include a skirt or dress that falls just above the knee, formal pants (if you choose not to wear a skirt or dress), a conservative shirt that isn’t too revealing, and flat trouser shoes or high heels.\\nIf you have any tattoos, it’s a good idea to cover these up if they’re otherwise visible.\\n3-3. Show up for your interview on time with your resume and references.\\nBring a copy of both your resume and a references sheet for the interviewer to look over as they ask you questions. You may also want to bring something to write on so you can take notes about the job during the interview.\\nRemember, it’s much better to arrive 15 minutes early to an interview than it is to arrive 15 minutes late.\\n3-4. Emphasize any skills you have that make you a good fit for the job.\\nTalk about any prior restaurant or customer service experience you have had whenever you have the opportunity to. If you don’t have this kind of experience, simply talk about those traits that would make you a great addition to the restaurant staff.\\nFor example, talk about traits like strong leadership skills, good time management skills, or the ability to work well with others.\\n3-5. Be as flexible as you can when it comes to availability.\\nThe manager will want to hire a candidate who can work a lot of hours, so having a flexible availability will make you a much stronger applicant. Tell the interviewer your most optimistic guess of how many hours you can reasonably work each week.\\nDon’t lie about your availability by saying you’re available when you actually aren’t. Just be truthful about how much free time you currently have and how much of that time you could actually spend working.\\n3-6. Wait to be contacted by the hiring manager about the job.\\nIf they don’t offer you the job right away, the interviewer or hiring manager may just need a day or 2 to talk over your answers. If you don’t hear back about the job within 3-5 days, call the manager and ask about your application status.\\nAt the end of your interview, feel free to ask questions like \\\"What next steps should I take?\\\" or \\\"When can I expect to hear from you?\\\"\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"If you’re looking for your first job or just need some extra income, a job at McDonald’s might be for you.

2,181 | How to Apply for Big Brother (U.S.) | 1. Making Sure You’re Qualified
1-1. Provide proof that you meet the show's age and citizenship requirements.
In order to be considered, you need to demonstrate that you are at least 21 years old, a US citizen, and currently living in the US. Make sure that your ID is current and accurate so you can submit it as part of the application process.
Your ID can be your driver’s license or a passport, which will also show your address to provide proof of residency.
Your birth certificate or social security card can be used to provide proof of residency.
1-2. Get a physical exam from a doctor to make sure you’re healthy.
In order to qualify and handle the challenges of the show, you need to be in great physical and mental health. Getting an official medical exam will tell you and show the producers of Big Brother that your body and mind can handle the rigors of the show.
Ask for a signed copy of your physical from your doctor so you can provide it to the producers if they request it.
1-3. Ask your job if you can take time off to be on the show.
During the initial application process, you can work around your work schedule to focus on completing your application and audition video. But if you make it to the final stages and are being considered as a cast member, you must be able to meet the producers when and where they ask you to meet them. Check with your job to see if they would allow you to take time off to be on the show.
1-4. Consider carefully whether you can handle the challenges of the show.
As a contestant– or "HouseGuest"– on Big Brother, you’ll be completely isolated from the outside world, but any and all of your actions could be broadcast on live TV. You’ll have to participate in weekly challenges and competitions, and you’ll be expected to share very personal information about yourself with people you don't know. Before you decide to apply to be on Big Brother, you need to think about whether you’re up for the difficulties inherent to the show, including lack of privacy and isolation from your friends and family.
2. Creating an Audition Video
2-1. Write out a script
Your audition video must be less than 3 minutes, and it shouldn’t revolve around crazy costumes or wacky antics. The producers of Big Brother are looking for genuine people to cast on their show, so you should use your script as a guide as you talk about yourself in a natural and confident manner. Don't read from a script verbatim, or you’ll appear rigid and unnatural.
Tell the producers why you think you would do well on the show and why you think you could win.
Talk about your life: where you grew up, your childhood, your hobbies, and your passions.
2-2. Try to describe how your past experiences have shaped who you are.
Discuss your previous romantic relationships and your current relationship status. You don't need to go into extreme detail, but you should be candid and open about your love life.
2-3. Rehearse your video with friends to get their feedback.
Before you record your video, you should test out your script in front of some friends. Ask them what they think about it and if they have suggestions that could make it more interesting. It can be helpful to get another person’s perspective.
2-4. Record a 3-minute video.
The easiest way to record a high-quality short video is to use a smartphone camera, but you can also use a digital camera. Use your script as your guide and try to relax and act natural. Remember: you can shoot as many takes as you want, so take your time and get it right!
Record in a well-lit room with the lights in front of you, and avoid shooting in front of a window with sunlight behind it.
Don’t record with the sun directly behind you and shoot during the day for better lighting.
Try to avoid loud and crowded rooms or windy areas for better sound quality.
2-5. Save the video to your computer so you can upload it.
If you recorded your audition video on a smartphone or a digital camera, save it to your computer so you can easily upload it as part of your application. Connect your smartphone or your digital camera to your computer and move or copy the file to your desktop.
Play the video after you save it to test that the video file works and make sure it looks right.
3. Completing the Application Process
3-1. Fill out the online application at https://www.bigbrothercasting.tv/home.
If you’re eligible and able to be on Big Brother, the first thing you need to do is complete the online application. Go to the Big Brother website and click “Apply Now” to start filling out the application. Fill out every field in the application completely, and then click submit.
Be as factually accurate as you can be. Any false information could disqualify your application.
Make sure you use your current contact information so they can reach you!
3-2. Upload a current picture of yourself.
After you finish your online application, you need to take a good, current picture of yourself and upload it to your application. Your picture will be what the producers see when they review your application, so make sure it’s a good one!
Don’t use filters or effects on your photo.
Take a picture in good lighting– try not to pose in front of a bright light or in a dim room.
3-3. Preview and upload your audition video.
The audition video is the best way for you to show the producers of Big Brother why they should choose you to be a HouseGuest. Before you upload it to your application, take one final view of it to make sure everything looks good. Then upload it to complete your application.
It may take a few minutes for your video to upload, so be patient!
3-4. Wait for the Big Brother producers to email you.
Once your application is complete, you have to wait to hear back from the show’s producers to see if they want to consider you to be on the show. They will reach out to you by email so make sure you’re checking your email regularly.
The producers of the show will not verify if they received your application, so if you don't hear back from them for awhile, it's probably safe to assume that you are no longer under consideration.
3-5. Go to a casting call near you.
If you’re contacted by a producer of Big Brother and asked to attend a casting call, you can check the Big Brother website to see a list of cities that are holding open casting calls. Find one that is the closest to you and make arrangements to attend the casting call.
The Big Brother website is: https://www.bigbrothercasting.tv/home.
Tips
It is not uncommon for houseguests to have applied multiple times before making it onto the show, so if your application was rejected the first time, don't give up because you may be selected in a subsequent application.
Warnings
If you do make it onto the show, refrain from doing anything that could jeopardize your employment. Several houseguests have done questionable actions and faced backlash from their employers.

2,182 | How to Apply for Business Awards | 1. Locating Awards
1-1. Clarify the types of awards you will be applying for.
You need to be sure that you are applying for awards you can actually win. Otherwise, you will just be wasting your time. This involves two different parts. First, make sure you qualify for the awards. This means that the award allows entries from your industry, your location, and from businesses of your size. Second, only apply for awards that are looking for the things you do well. That is, play to your strengths.
If you are known for excellent customer service, for example, apply for awards that judge customer service. If you are known instead for product quality, consider avoiding the customer service award.
1-2. Figure out which awards your competitors have won.
Having (or not having) certain awards can be a standard of comparison between competing businesses. Visit your competitors' websites or stores to see which awards they display. If you don't have these awards, apply for them. This will eliminate one more advantage that your competition may have over you.
Look especially closely at awards your competitors have won in multiple years. Applying could be your opportunity to steal it away from them.
1-3. Investigate national awards.
Some of the biggest small business awards are offered by national organizations and companies. Winning of these awards will bring widespread recognition to your business, but the competition will be fierce. If you think you have what it takes, apply to one or more of the following awards:
SCORE Awards.
National Small Business Week Awards.
DREAM BIG Awards.
Stevie Awards.
Entrepreneur Magazine's Entrepreneur Awards.
Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year.
Deloitte Technology Fast 500.
1-4. Search for industry awards.
Each industry may have special awards for outstanding businesses within that industry. Check with trade publications, special-interest magazines, industry websites, and other industry-specific magazines to see if they have any business awards you can apply for.
1-5. Check for local awards.
Your local Chamber of Commerce or local magazines may have programs that give awards or recognition to businesses. Make sure to check with these organizations to see what awards you can apply for. These may not give you national recognition, but you will gain greater recognition in your community.
2. Applying For Awards
2-1. Begin your application.
When you've found some awards to apply to, don't wait until the last minute to apply to them, instead start your applications now. If there are many of them, create a schedule for filling them all out. Consider spending your free time at night or on weekends to fill out these forms. If you get the award, it will all be worth it.
2-2. Plan your written submissions.
Before you write your application, sit down and plan out figures and facts that you want to include. Make sure to have a list of key point ready so that you can say everything that you want to say. During this process, make sure to check your list against the requirements of the award. Use the requirements as a guide. Add in any details or information that you may have left out.
Keep in mind that it is okay to provide more information than is required, just be sure that you do not leave out anything that is required.
2-3. Submit your application.
Before you submit your application, have a coworker or family member proofread it for errors and to make sure you included everything that was required. Check to see that all required documents are attached and in the correct formats. And most importantly, be sure to submit your application on time. Being even a few minutes late may disqualify your submission.
2-4. Keep a copy.
After applying for one business award, save a copy and use the document for applying for other awards in the future. Doing so will make the process of applying for awards more efficient and save you time, even if you have to edit large parts of the document to fit the criteria for each award.
3. Earning the Award
3-1. Tell a good story.
Award reviewers sift through hundreds or thousands of applications, so you'll have to make yours stand out. To do so, you'll have to tell a good story. That is, when you apply for your award, don't just tell the events in a matter-of-fact way. Instead, Use your experiences from the difficult road you've had as a small business owner to craft a story that explains the hardships you've faced, the impacts of your decisions, and how your business has interacted with and been built by the people involved with it.
Don’t rely on financial descriptions and instead focus on tangible effects and the emotional impacts of events and business shifts.
However, keep your story short and sweet; judges don't want to read a novel.
3-2. Make sure you include everything.
It's very easy for your application to be immediately thrown out because you didn't follow the rules. To avoid this follow every provision in the application instructions. Include every required document and format everything exactly as instructed. This helps you prove to judges that you really want to win.
3-3. Follow Up.
After you've applied for an award, make sure to institute some way of tracking whether or not you have won it. Many awards will notify you, but sign up for the awarding organization's newsletter to make sure you don't miss anything. You can also follow up with judges or the organization after applying to thank them for their consideration. Making it clear that you really want the award just might make a difference in the judges' selection.
Make sure that you do not pester the judges. Just follow up in a professional manner, similar to how you would follow up with a job interview.
3-4. Display the award where possible.
If your business is shortlisted or ranked by an award, and especially if you win one, make sure you show that off to your customers and employees. The award may provide you with a standard press release to use, but if they don't be sure to make a press release of your own explaining the award and that you won it. Additionally, you can send out a newsletter to customers that summarizes the award and the story behind your winning it. This is a good opportunity to thank customers for their support.
Post links on social media to the page on the award's website that shows your business and its victory.
In some cases, you can display the award's logo on your storefront or advertising. However, some award programs will charge a fee for the use of their logo.

2,183 | How to Apply for Citizenship in Singapore | 1. Becoming a Permanent Resident
1-1. Apply under the Scheme for Professional/Technical Personnel/Skilled Workers.
The most common way to become a PR is to apply as a foreign professional working in Singapore. Under this scheme, a person lives and works in Singapore for 2 years and then applies for PR status based on their employment history.
You’ll need to already be living and working in Singapore before you can apply for PR status through this scheme. It’s recommended that you wait at least a year after you’ve started working in Singapore before submitting your PR application.
Note that you’ll need to be working a job that pays a minimum annual salary of S$3300 and that your professional skills and education, as evidenced by the industry you work in, the pedigree of your employer, and the reputation of the academic institution you’ve graduated from, will also factor into your application for PR status.
1-2. Become a PR through the Scheme for Entrepreneurs.
The Scheme for Entrepreneurs, otherwise known as the Global Investor Programme, aims to encourage investors who can invest large sums of money in the Singaporean economy to apply for PR status. If you’re an investor or successful entrepreneur, apply for PR status through this scheme.
Applicants for PR status through this scheme must deposit S$1.5 million with the Singaporean government to be considered.
Although there are no educational or vocational requirements for applying for PR status under this scheme, you’ll need to provide records of the most recent 3 years of your entrepreneurial or business experience.
1-3. Apply for PR status as a foreign artist if possible.
There is a third scheme for applying for PR status called the Foreign Artistic Scheme. If you have formal training, education, and experience in the visual arts, performance arts, or literary arts, consider applying for PR status through this scheme.
Note that this scheme is intended for acclaimed artists in various fields and is the most difficult means of obtaining PR status in Singapore for most people.
1-4. Attend school in Singapore and pass at least 1 national exam.
If you’re still a student, you can also apply for PR status by studying in Singapore for 2 years and passing at least 1 national exam.
The national exams you have to take before applying for PR status are the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) or the Singapore-Cambridge GCE for high school students.
1-5. Marry a Singaporean citizen or permanent resident.
Perhaps the quickest way to become eligible to apply for PR status is to marry a citizen or permanent resident of Singapore. If you have children younger than 21 with your spouse, they can also apply for PR status through this scheme.
You don’t have to have to lived in Singapore for 2 years to apply for citizenship this way. You only need to submit your PR application and wait until it is processed, which can take as little as 4 weeks.
Note that you will need to provide an official marriage certificate when submitting your application for PR status.
Although this isn’t guaranteed, your application may be stronger if you apply along for PR status along with your children, as the Singaporean government looks favorably on applicants maintaining close family ties in Singapore.
1-6. Submit your application once you’re eligible for PR status.
Once you’ve met the requirements for PR status for your particular scheme, use the government’s online portal to submit your application for PR status.
You must submit your application using the Singaporean government’s e-service: https://erep.ica.gov.sg/epr/index.xhtml. Applications for each scheme are submitted through this online portal.
As of August 2018, there is a S$100 fee for each application for PR status.
Make sure you assemble all the supplemental documents required by the Singaporean government for the particular scheme you’re applying through, such as your official marriage certificate, valid Immigration Pass, Work Pass, and your highest educational certificates.
The turn-around for PR applications is roughly 4 to 6 months.
1-7. Be prepared to perform mandatory service.
Under Singaporean law, all male citizens and Permanent Residents must register for the National Service and perform mandatory service once they reach the age of 18. This is carried out for 2 years and can be served either in the armed forces or in the police force. Singaporean men are subject to this law until the age of 40.
Note that if you apply for PR status as a student, you have to register for the NS when you reach the age of 16.5.
Defaulting on your mandatory service may result in a substantial fine or as much as 3 years in prison.
As of August 2018, women do not need to perform mandatory service in the Singaporean National Service.
2. Applying for Citizenship
2-1. Gather up supporting documents for yourself and your family.
Once you’ve been a permanent resident for 2 years, you’re eligible to apply for Singaporean citizenship. Before you begin your application, make sure to gather and complete the necessary supplemental documents.
For most applicants, these documents include a Singapore Citizenship Registration Application form (SCRA Form), an Annex A form, and a Singapore Citizenship Registration on behalf of a Minor form (SCRM Form). These forms can be found on the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority website: https://www.ica.gov.sg/apply/citizenship/apply_citizenship_who.
If you’re married, you’ll also need to provide supporting documents for your spouse, even if they’re not applying for citizenship.
2-2. Submit your application materials online or in person at the ICA.
Like with the PR status application, the application for citizenship can also be submitted online. If you prefer, you can also hand in your materials in person at the Immigrations and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) office.
If you want to submit your application in person, you’ll have to make an appointment first at the ICA. Appointments can be made online through the ICA’s website.
Note that citizenship applications can not be submitted by mail.
The turn-around for citizenship applications is roughly 6 to 12 months. As of August 2018, there is a S$100 processing fee for each application.
2-3. Conduct an interview with an ICA officer.
Once your application has been submitted and processed, you’ll need to sit down to an interview with an ICA officer. The officer will question you against the information on your application and you’ll have to make a statement that all the material on your application is true.
If you’re applying for citizenship as the spouse of a Singaporean citizen, your spouse will also have to be present for this interview.
If your application for citizenship is also on behalf of a child, then that child may also need to appear during the interview.
2-4. Renounce your former foreign citizenship at the relevant embassy.
As part of the process of becoming a Singaporean citizen, you’ll need to renounce any other national citizenship. Once you receive notice that your citizenship application has been accepted, head to the relevant embassy in Singapore and renounce your former citizenship ties.
You’ll need to bring your former nation’s passport with you to the embassy. There, you’ll sign an oath of renunciation in the presence of a consular officer and hand over your passport.
This process can also be carried out at the High Commission in Singapore.
Note that you may have to pay a fee to renounce your citizenship, depending on your nationality. Consult with the consular officers of your nation’s embassy to determine whether you need to pay a fee as part of your renunciation.
2-5. Submit your final registration documents and take your loyalty oath.
Bring your letter of renunciation from your former embassy and letter stating the surrender of your passport to the Citizen Services Centre in Singapore. There, you’ll pay a fee, complete your citizenship registration, receive your passport, and swear an oath of allegiance.
As of August 2018, you’ll need to pay a S$70 fee for your registration, S$10 for your identity card, and $80 for your passport.
The oath you’ll swear is the “Oath of Renunciation, Allegiance and Loyalty” and it must be sworn in front of the Commissioner of Oaths.
2-6. Attend the National Citizenship Ceremony to receive your certificate and ID card.
The final step in the process is to attend a citizenship ceremony at a later date. You’ll be given your identity card and citizenship certificate at the ceremony and be officially recognized as a Singaporean citizen.
The National Citizenship Ceremony is held in August of each year.
Note that you’re required to attend this ceremony, although children under the age of 6 are exempt.
Tips
Some extraneous factors, like your age and record of charitable giving, also play a role in determining how successful your application for Singaporean citizenship is. Volunteer for a long time and apply for citizenship when you’re young to improve your odds!
Warnings
Note that if you’re a man, you’ll also be required to perform mandatory service in the military once you become a Singaporean citizen.
Singapore doesn’t allow its citizens to hold dual citizenship. Be sure you’re willing to renounce your current citizenship before going through with applying for Singaporean citizenship.

Be prepared to perform mandatory service.\\nUnder Singaporean law, all male citizens and Permanent Residents must register for the National Service and perform mandatory service once they reach the age of 18. This is carried out for 2 years and can be served either in the armed forces or in the police force. Singaporean men are subject to this law until the age of 40.\\nNote that if you apply for PR status as a student, you have to register for the NS when you reach the age of 16.5.\\nDefaulting on your mandatory service may result in a substantial fine or as much as 3 years in prison.\\nAs of August 2018, women do not need to perform mandatory service in the Singaporean National Service.\\n2. Applying for Citizenship\\n2-1. Gather up supporting documents for yourself and your family.\\nOnce you’ve been a permanent resident for 2 years, you’re eligible to apply for Singaporean citizenship. Before you begin your application, make sure to gather and complete the necessary supplemental documents.\\nFor most applicants, these documents include a Singapore Citizenship Registration Application form (SCRA Form), an Annex A form, and a Singapore Citizenship Registration on behalf of a Minor form (SCRM Form). These forms can be found on the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority website: https://www.ica.gov.sg/apply/citizenship/apply_citizenship_who.\\nIf you’re married, you’ll also need to provide supporting documents for your spouse, even if they’re not applying for citizenship.\\n2-2. Submit your application materials online or in person at the ICA.\\nLike with the PR status application, the application for citizenship can also be submitted online. If you prefer, you can also hand in your materials in person at the Immigrations and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) office. \\nIf you want to submit your application in person, you’ll have to make an appointment first at the ICA. Appointments can be made online through the ICA’s website.\\nNote that citizenship applications can not be submitted by mail.\\nThe turn-around for citizenship applications is roughly 6 to 12 months. As of August 2018, there is a S$100 processing fee for each application.\\n2-3. Conduct an interview with an ICA officer.\\nOnce your application has been submitted and processed, you’ll need to sit down to an interview with an ICA officer. The officer will question you against the information on your application and you’ll have to make a statement that all the material on your application is true. \\nIf you’re applying for citizenship as the spouse of a Singaporean citizen, your spouse will also have to be present for this interview.\\nIf your application for citizenship is also on behalf of a child, then that child may also need to appear during the interview.\\n2-4. Renounce your former foreign citizenship at the relevant embassy.\\nAs part of the process of becoming a Singaporean citizen, you’ll need to renounce any other national citizenship. Once you receive notice that your citizenship application has been accepted, head to the relevant embassy in Singapore and renounce your former citizenship ties. \\nYou’ll need to bring your former nation’s passport with you to the embassy. There, you’ll sign an oath of renunciation in the presence of a consular officer and hand over your passport.\\nThis process can also be carried out at the High Commission in Singapore.\\nNote that you may have to pay a fee to renounce your citizenship, depending on your nationality. Consult with the consular officers of your nation’s embassy to determine whether you need to pay a fee as part of your renunciation.\\n2-5. Submit your final registration documents and take your loyalty oath.\\nBring your letter of renunciation from your former embassy and letter stating the surrender of your passport to the Citizen Services Centre in Singapore. There, you’ll pay a fee, complete your citizenship registration, receive your passport, and swear an oath of allegiance. \\nAs of August 2018, you’ll need to pay a S$70 fee for your registration, S$10 for your identity card, and $80 for your passport.\\nThe oath you’ll swear is the “Oath of Renunciation, Allegiance and Loyalty” and it must be sworn in front of the Commissioner of Oaths.\\n2-6. Attend the National Citizenship Ceremony to receive your certificate and ID card.\\nThe final step in the process is to attend a citizenship ceremony at a later date. You’ll be given your identity card and citizenship certificate at the ceremony and be officially recognized as a Singaporean citizen. \\nThe National Citizenship Ceremony is held in August of each year.\\nNote that you’re required to attend this ceremony, although children under the age of 6 are exempt.\\nTips\\nSome extraneous factors, like your age and record of charitable giving, also play a role in determining how successful your application for Singaporean citizenship is. Volunteer for a long time and apply for citizenship when you’re young to improve your odds!\\nWarnings\\nNote that if you’re a man, you’ll also be required to perform mandatory service in the military once you become a Singaporean citizen.\\nSingapore doesn’t allow its citizens to hold dual citizenship. Be sure you’re willing to renounce your current citizenship before going through with applying for Singaporean citizenship.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Singaporean citizenship comes with a lot of benefits worth considering: a Singaporean passport carries excellent visa-free travel around the world and the country has an alluring economy for investors and entrepreneurs.

2,184 | How to Apply for Deal or No Deal | 1. Filling Out the Applications
1-1. Follow the directions.
Not following the directions is a good way to get yourself eliminated from consideration pretty quickly. Make sure to read over the application carefully before you start to fill it out. For example, a hard-copy application may ask you to use a pen with blue or black ink. Likewise, you may be asked to submit additional information online in a certain format.
1-2. Be honest.
Like other reality programs and game shows, Deal or No Deal is looking for genuine participants. Don't exaggerate your accomplishments or fabricate a life history. Instead, focus on your real accomplishments and look at how you can present them in an engaging way.
Ask a good friend who knows you well to help you pull out awesome details from your life.
1-3. Fill out the form completely.
As with failing to follow the directions, incomplete forms are another insta-kill for your chances at getting on the show. If you don't know how to answer a certain question, get help from a friend. Examples of strange questions you may have to answer include:
What is your weirdest quality?
Draw a picture of yourself.
1-4. Send in photos if required.
Get at least one headshot and a full body shot. If you take your own pictures, stand in front of a light or neutral background. This eliminates unnecessary distractions from the main focus of the picture: you.
1-5. Have patience.
It may be months before you hear any news on your application. Deal of No Deal, like other shows, casts months in advance of its shooting schedule. You have no way of knowing where in the cycle the show is at the time of your application.
2. Participating in the Casting Call
2-1. Be prepared for a long wait.
Major televisions shows, such as Deal of No deal, hold auditions for hundreds of candidates at a time. It will be an all-day event, so prepare yourself accordingly. Make sure that you bring plenty of water and snacks with you. Also, you will probably have to wait outside for a while, so bring a jacket if the weather is cool or an umbrella to shield yourself from the sun if it is hot.
2-2. Dress appropriately.
Wear something flattering but not overly revealing. If you have a great figure, show it off in a form-fitting outfit. This goes for women and men, too. Don't wear anything with a logo on it, however, as the producers will have to blur it out.
2-3. Be prepared to share your story.
Deal or No Deal is interested in people with stories that people can relate to, and to people who are relatablein general. Talk about yourself, what you've done, your hopes, and your dreams. Speak about obstacles you've encountered and how you overcame them. Don't be afraid to tell the producers about your deepest, most secret fear. Don't just dryly present these as facts, show your personality. Don't be afraid to let your emotions show. Some extra tidbits to keep in mind are:
If you have a tragedy in your life, such as losing a family member or overcoming a serious illness, by all means, tell the story to the producers. They love these kinds of stories as they're great for narrative building.
Producers also appreciate quirkiness. If there is something about you that is just a little bit off, let it show. Uniqueness matters.
2-4. Demonstrate high energy.
Enthusiasm counts for shows like Deal of No Deal. While you're waiting, make sure that you keep your energy high. For example, do something that gets your heart pumping, such as jumping-jacks. You can also listen to your favorite dance tune while bopping your head, or better yet, dancing to it.
Tips
Make sure you meet the age requirements. The rules in most countries require that contestants be 18 years of age or older.
Be prepared to pay your own room and board if you're required to travel for the show.

2,185 | How to Apply for Disability in Texas | 1. Understanding the Disability Eligibility Requirements
1-1. Learn who is eligible.
To be eligible for federal disability benefits, you must have a qualifying disability. This means that you must be unable to engage in "substantial gainful activity" for at least 12 months. Furthermore, SSA considers an individual disabled if:
They cannot do the work they did before.
They cannot adjust to other work because of a medical condition.
The disability has lasted or is expected to last for at least 1 year or result in death.
1-2. Understand which agency administers benefits.
While disability benefits are funded by the federal government (SSA), Texas's Division for Disability Determination Services (DDS) makes the eligibility determination. To do so, individuals apply for Social Security benefits at their local Social Security Office, and their applications are then forwarded to DDS for a disability determination. The final decision to grant or deny benefits, however, lies with SSA.
1-3. Calculate your benefits.
The amount of SSDI benefits that you can receive will depend on how much you paid into the Social Security system during your working years. By contrast, SSI is a need-based program; monthly payments are established by the federal government.
The maximum amount of SSI an individual may receive each month is $733; a couple may receive $1,100.
To view the SSI federal payment amounts for 2015, click here.
2. Applying for Benefits
2-1. Gather information.
You will need to provide information about the following to SSA:
Your date and place of birth, as well as your Social Security number
Information about your current spouse, as well as any former spouses (name, date of birth and death, Social Security numbers, and the date and location of your marriages and divorces)
Names and dates of birth of your minor children
The name and contact information of someone who knows about your medical condition, such as a doctor
The names, addresses, and phone numbers for all doctors, hospitals, and clinics where you were treated, as well as your patient ID numbers and dates of treatment
The name and contact information of your employer for this year and the past year
The amount of money you earned this year and last year
A list of the jobs (up to 5) that you worked in the past 15 years before you became unable to work, and the dates you worked those jobs
the beginning and ending dates of any military service you had before 1968
Your bank’s Routing Transit Number and the account number (if you want benefits electronically deposited)
2-2. Locate necessary documents.
To apply for benefits, you will need various documents that establish your legal status as well as your financial and medical history. Gather these documents before applying:
Birth certificate
Proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful alien status if you were not born in the United States
A copy of your Social Security statement
W-2 forms and/or self-employment tax returns for last year
Award letters, pay stubs, settlement agreements or other proof of any temporary or permanent workers' compensation-type benefits
Information about any workers' compensation benefits that you applied for or intend to apply for
Medical evidence, including medical records, doctor's reports, names of medicines taken, and recent test results
U.S. military discharge papers if you had military service before 1968
2-3. Complete an application.
You can apply for benefits in-person or online. To find your closest SSA office, you can use the SSA's office locator system and enter your ZIP code. Alternately, you can call SSA's toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213.
To fill out an online application, visit SSA's website.
2-4. Undergo a medical examination (if requested).
After applying for the benefits, your application will be sent to a Disability Specialist. If the Disability Specialist needs more information about your disability, then you may be asked to undergo a medical exam.
Exams are often scheduled where little evidence supports the claim of injury or where sufficient time has elapsed since you have seen a doctor.
The exam will be brief—maybe only 10 minutes.
You should attend the exam. A Disability Specialist can close a file for “failure to cooperate” and declining a medical exam would justify denying your claim. If you accidentally miss the exam, you will be allowed to reschedule.
2-5. Await benefit determination.
Disability claims are decided within 90-120 days. The process may be longer if you are scheduled for a medical examination. After the medical examination, the Disability Specialist will make an initial decision about whether you are disabled.
If you are determined to be disabled, then you will begin receiving retroactive disability benefits. Alternately, if your claim is denied, then you may appeal.
If you are denied, you will be sent a denial letter. Save this. It will contain important contact information as well as information about appeals.
3. Appealing the Denial of Disability Benefits
3-1. Request reconsideration.
If your claim is denied, you should request reconsideration. Another DDS representative will review your claim and possibly request additional information. Contact the Social Security Office that denied your claim to request reconsideration.
You have only 60 days to request reconsideration, so it is best not to wait. Once you receive your denial letter, call and request the reconsideration paperwork.
You might want to provide updated medical records, statements from treating physicians about your medical condition, or a reason why you think your claim should be approved.
The success rate for reconsideration is very low (around 13%). Nevertheless, requesting reconsideration is a necessary first step that allows you to subsequently appeal to an administrative law judge, where your chances (should you have legal representation) are higher.
If the second DDS representative denies your claim, then you may appeal.
3-2. Request an appeal hearing.
To appeal a denial, you must request a hearing with an administrative law judge. In Texas, you must request an appeal within 60 days of the date of the prior denial.
You should seek out an attorney at this point. The attorney will request the appeal paperwork and file it.
The average wait time for a hearing in Texas is 8 months.
3-3. Hire an attorney or SSA advocate.
Based on the nature and complexity of your case, it may be beneficial to consult with an attorney or advocate. Advocates may be lawyers or non-lawyers. Securing legal representation may significantly improve your chances of getting your disability claim approved.
More than 60% of cases are won at this level when the claimant is represented by an attorney or advocate.
Disability attorneys and advocates work on contingency. Under this arrangement, you will not pay any fees unless you win the appeal.
You will still have to cover costs, such as the cost of mailing, photocopying, or requesting medical records. You should anticipate costs of around $200. Typically, an attorney will front these costs; if you win, then the amount will be deducted from your back-award benefits. If you lose, you will then be billed.
By law, attorneys and advocates can collect only 25% of the award of the past-due benefits awarded, up to $6,000.
To find an experienced attorney, you can search the Texas Bar Association’s Referral Service. Or you can search “disability lawyer” and your city or county into a web browser. Because attorneys in this field work on contingency, your consultation should be free.
3-4. Prepare for your appeal hearing.
Disability hearings are conducted before an administrative law judge who will evaluate the information you provided. To win, the administrative law judge must determine that you have a disability based on SSA laws.
Your attorney will need to gather documents to use as exhibits, such as medical records, and prepare to share them with the court.
You may also need to undergo another medical exam. A claim cannot be made unless you present recent medical records (i.e., those within the past 90 days).
3-5. Attend the hearing.
The judge will review your medical records and see if you have a severe medical impairment. Also, the impairment must qualify as a disability for a year or more.
An impairment qualifies as a “disability” if it meets SSA's list of impairments or prevents you from engaging in work that will produce substantial, gainful income.
Tips
The vast majority of disability applications are rejected at the initial level of consideration. Accordingly, few people get lawyers until the appeal stage, which is the stage at which having an attorney makes the most difference.[26]

While it may be time consuming, it might be more beneficial to apply for SSA in-person rather than online. You can ask SSA representatives questions, which will facilitate filling out the claim correctly the first time.
You should not seek an appeal without the advice of an expert in disability law.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Understanding the Disability Eligibility Requirements\\n1-1. Learn who is eligible.\\nTo be eligible for federal disability benefits, you must have a qualifying disability. This means that you must be unable to engage in \\\"substantial gainful activity\\\" for at least 12 months. Furthermore, SSA considers an individual disabled if:\\nThey cannot do the work they did before.\\nThey cannot adjust to other work because of a medical condition.\\nThe disability has lasted or is expected to last for at least 1 year or result in death.\\n1-2. Understand which agency administers benefits.\\nWhile disability benefits are funded by the federal government (SSA), Texas's Division for Disability Determination Services (DDS) makes the eligibility determination. To do so, individuals apply for Social Security benefits at their local Social Security Office, and their applications are then forwarded to DDS for a disability determination. The final decision to grant or deny benefits, however, lies with SSA.\\n1-3. Calculate your benefits.\\nThe amount of SSDI benefits that you can receive will depend on how much you paid into the Social Security system during your working years. By contrast, SSI is a need-based program; monthly payments are established by the federal government.\\nThe maximum amount of SSI an individual may receive each month is $733; a couple may receive $1,100.\\nTo view the SSI federal payment amounts for 2015, click here.\\n2.

2,186 | How to Apply for Dual Citizenship in the Philippines | 1. Applying for Dual Citizenship Under RA 9225
1-1. Locate the nearest Philippine consulate.
The Philippine consulate nearest you processes your application for dual citizenship. You must appear in person at the consulate at least once to take your oath. In some areas, you may have to travel a considerable distance.
You can find the nearest consulate by calling or visiting the website of the Philippine embassy in your country.

2,187 | How to Apply for Food Stamps in Florida | 1. Meeting the Requirements
1-1. Determine which program is right for you.
Three Florida programs offer assistance in buying food for residents. Figure out which one best suits your needs.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps low-income households purchase healthy food. This is the default food assistance program.
provides food assistance for individuals who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI). If you already receive SSI, you may be eligible for SUNCAP benefits without additional paperwork or applications.
provides help for people affected by disasters. Food for Florida is not always in effect, and is only available to people living in an active disaster area. Recipients must not currently receive assistance from the Food Assistance program or SUNCAP. Find out more.
1-2. Find out if you meet the income guidelines.
To be eligible for SNAP, most households must not exceed a gross income limit, which is equal to 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL).
For example, a household of two cannot make more than $2,622 per month. A household of three cannot make more than $3,300 per month. A household of four cannot make more than $3,976. For each additional person in the household, add $678 to this maximum monthly income.
If a member of your household is disqualified from receiving food assistance benefits, you are required to meet a gross income limit less than or equal to 130 percent of the FPL. That is, for a household of two, you must now make $1,705 a month or lower.
All households with a disqualified member must have a net income of 100 percent the FPL or lower -- that's a monthly income of $1,311 for a household of two, with $339 added for each person.
A household member is disqualified if he/she was convicted of drug trafficking, ran away from a felony warrant, intentionally violated the SNAP rules in the past, or does not have the required citizenship or non-student status.
1-3. Figure out your deductions.
If your monthly income exceeds the poverty guidelines, you may still qualify. Certain expenditures can be deducted from your monthly income. The following expenses can be deducted:
Child care.
Training for work or expenses in looking for work.
Medicare expenses.
Child support payments.
A portion of shelter and utility costs.
1-4. Know your assets.
There is also a limit to the value of the assets you possess. The limit is $3,250 for households with an elderly or disabled person. For households with a disqualified member, the asset limit is reduced to $2,250. However, some property is excluded from the calculation of assets. Those things are:
Home and surrounding property.
Household goods and personal effects.
Burial plots.
Life insurance policies.
Vehicles.
1-5. Gather your information.
To complete the online application for food assistance, collect documentation pertaining to household income; bills, including utilities and rent; medical bills; proof of child care costs; wage and employment information; and bank statements. All of this information will go into your application; it'll be easiest if you have it all organized now.
All U.S. citizens must provide proof of U.S. citizenship and identity. Non-citizens are ineligible for food assistance unless they meet certain criteria. Lawfully admitted permanent residents, refugees, and those who have been granted asylum may apply.
You must be able to provide a Social Security Number for each person who is applying for food stamp benefits, or proof that each person has applied for an SSN.
To receive food stamps in Florida, you must be a Florida resident. The easiest way to demonstrate Florida residency is to show a valid Florida Driver's License or Florida-issued non-driver's photo ID.
2. Submitting a SNAP Application
2-1. Locate your local SNAP office.
A list of offices near you can be found on the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service website.
For a faster response, you can start an online application. ACCESS Florida allows you to apply for benefits online here. Click "Apply On-line for Food Stamps, Temporary Cash Assistance and Medicaid" located underneath the Apply for Benefits icon. Clicking this link will generate a code to access your account at any time. Make sure to save this access code for future reference.
2-2. Complete the application.
Use the information you gathered earlier to fill out the application. This information is necessary to determine your eligibility, so be thorough and include every article the application requests from you. Forms are available in English, Spanish and Creole, but you can download other languages here.
If you are between the ages of 18 and 49 and physically and mentally fit, you must either be employed in some way or participating in a work training program to receive long-term benefits (unless you have a child). If you do meet these guidelines but are unemployed, you can only qualify for benefits for three months.
If you're a student, you need to hold down a part-time job or have a child to qualify.
If you fill out the online application, it should only take about 30 minutes to complete.
2-3. Review for accuracy before submitting the application.
Any misinformation or lack of information can cause a delay in receiving benefits. What's more, falsifying information can make receiving benefits in the future difficult or impossible.
2-4. Submit the application.
You will receive an e-mail confirmation if the application was sent successfully. Save this for your records. You should keep it in case you lose your information because you'll need your access code to log into the website.
If you are mailing the application, mail to ACCESS Central Mail Center, P.O. Box 1770, Ocala, FL, 34478-1770.
While you wait, you might as well use an online calculator to determine your benefits. You have to submit only the simplest information -- if you have your records handy, this will be even easier.
2-5. Use your access code to check your claim status periodically.
The approval process can take up to 30 days to determine eligibility of benefits. You will be notified once the process is complete. Some Florida food assistance applications can be approved or denied in as little as two weeks, but don't be alarmed if it takes the full 30 days.
You may qualify for expedited benefits. These are for the truly needy and are available after seven days. You will be asked a series of questions at the time of application for SNAP benefits to see if you qualify for expedited benefits.
You generally will qualify for expedited benefits if the monthly, pre-tax income for your household is less than $150 or if your household has less than $100 in the bank. You also qualify if your monthly rent or mortgage payment, when combined with your utilities, exceeds your monthly pre-tax income and savings.
For example, if your rent is $800 a month and your monthly utilities are $300, then you could qualify for expedited benefits if your combined pre-tax income and savings is less than $1,100.
2-6. Prepare for the interview.
You may be called in to the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) for an interview before you are awarded benefits. You will need to gather the information they request. Typically, they may request that you bring proof of the following:
Your identity, such as a driver's license or state or military identification card.
The earned or unearned income of every member of the family, such as the last four weeks of check stubs or child support notices
2-7. Receive your EBT card.
You will receive an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card in the mail within 7 days of your application is approved. You can use this card as you would a debit or credit card at locations that accept EBT.
Keep your EBT card safe. You must call EBT customer service at 1-888-356-3281 to have them reissue your card.
Florida no longer issues paper food stamps or benefits checks for nutritional assistance programs. You will only receive your benefits on a preloaded EBT card.
3. Keeping Your Benefits
3-1. Follow the rules.
You may use SNAP benefits to buy only certain items.
You may buy fruits, meats, fish, dairy, breads and cereals.
You may use SNAP benefits to buy pet foods, soaps, paper products, alcohol, tobacco, medicine or foods to eat in the store.
3-2. Re-certify your benefits.
You have to report to your local office to continue to receive benefits. Ask for the re-certification form. The timeline to re-certify depends on how regular your income is.
Families with regular income must re-certify once per year.
Someone whose income fluctuates may have to report more regularly, such as once per month.
3-3. Inform the Florida DCF of any relevant income changes.
If your household income increases above the maximum income threshold, you must inform the DCF.
Report any changes in the cost of rent or utilities because these affect your qualification for the program.
Failure to inform the DCF of important changes can lead to cancellation of your benefits.
4. Applying for Other Food Programs
4-1. Check if you qualify for SUNCAP.
If you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you may qualify for SUNCAP without any other paperwork or applications.
Also, if you received SNAP benefits but became eligible for SSI, then you may be switched over to SUNCAP from SNAP.
However, if your food benefit were to decrease, then you could stay with SNAP benefits.
4-2. Determine if you qualify for Food For Florida if you have been affected by disaster.
The Food For Florida program provides help for those people affected by disasters, such as a hurricane, and who have suffered at least one disaster effect:
Damage to a home or self-employed business.
Disaster-related expenses (such as loss of food), which are not being reimbursed.
Lost income or income delayed for 15 days.
4-3. Gather documents.
You will need to prove residency and income to qualify for benefits. Items you will need include:
Verification of identification, such as a photo ID.
Proof of residence, such as a driver's license or a utility bill.
Proof of income, such as pay stubs, bank statements, etc.
4-4. Apply for benefits.
You may apply online at the Florida DCF. Applications are open only after a disaster has struck.
Tips
You can apply without the necessary paperwork to get things started, but will need those items to get your food stamp application processed more quickly.
A "household" is defined as a group of people that buy and cook food together.
Visit your local Social Security Administration office if you receive SSI benefits and would rather complete the application in person, have extra questions, or you don't have regular access to the Internet. Find a list of offices here. If you would like an in-person interview, use this link to find your access office.
Warnings
Be honest when completing your application. If you provide false information to obtain food stamps that you may not qualify for, you may face fines, imprisonment and a denial of services.

2,188 | How to Apply for Food Stamps in Maryland | 1. Beginning the Application
1-1. See if you're eligible.
To save yourself some trouble, see if you're eligible before filling out an application. Maryland has a food stamp calculator (https://mydhrbenefits.dhr.state.md.us/dashboardClient/#/householdInfo) where you can check if you qualify. You'll fill in information about your household size and income, as well as any other cash or assets you have, to determine if you're eligible for the program.
1-2. Find the application.
The easiest way to find the application is to go online to https://mydhrbenefits.dhr.state.md.us/, where you will find the application for food stamps. Choose the "Family Investment" application, which is an umbrella application for many social service programs, including food stamps. However, your local social services office also has applications you can fill out in person, or you can ask for one to be mailed to you by calling in.
To find your local social services office, use this site to find one near you: https://mydhrbenefits.dhr.state.md.us/dashboardClient/#/dssMap
1-3. Create an account.
If you're filling out an application online, the easiest way to use the service is to create an account. You'll need an email address and a password (that you create) so that you can return to the application in the future. You'll need to type in information such as your address, your full name, and your Social Security number.
If you don't have an email or don't want to create an account, you can fill in a standalone application online from the MyDHR site.
2. Filling in the Application
2-1. Start with biographical information.
The first part of the application is biographical information, such as your full name, your address, and the language you speak. You'll also need to fill in any assistance you or other family members are receiving.
If you don't speak English, request free translation services from your case manager. If you don't have a case manager, you can call 1-800-332-6347 to request translation services. It's the main number for the Maryland State Department of Human Resources.
2-2. Add information for each household member.
When filing for benefits, you must include details about each household member you're filing for. Generally, the people you include are those who cook and eat meals with you, as well as children.
Fill in their name, Social Security number (if they're a U.S. citizen), sex, and whether they are in school or not.
If household members are not citizens, you'll need to fill in information about their legal status in the country, including their INS number.
2-3. Fill in your assets and expenses.
Next, discuss your finances. The government wants to know what you have in savings, what your income is, what you pay in rent, and so on to decide if you're eligible for food stamps. Start with any major financial assets, such as stock or bond accounts. Then, add in your earned income.
Add any other income you receive, such as alimony, disability, Social Security, veteran's benefits, or worker's compensation.
Fill in information about the money you pay for child or elderly care, as well as child support. You'll also add information about how much you pay in rent and utilities, so you may need to have bills on hand for that information. Include information you pay on medical expenses, as well.
2-4. Include information about your criminal background.
The application has a section on your criminal background, as well as anyone else you're applying for. It asks about drug felonies, probation violations, and past food stamp application fraud.
2-5. Leave questions you don't understand blank.
If you don't understand a section, you can leave it blank, though you do need to fill in the basic biographical information. If you leave a section blank, your case worker will help you fill it in when you go in for an interview.
2-6. Fill in any other relevant sections.
The application also has sections that you can fill in if you're applying for other services, such as Temporary Cash Assistance or Medical Assistance. However, if you are just filing for food stamps, you likely won't need to fill in these sections.
2-7. Answer honestly.
You may be tempted to fib here and there on the application. However, it's important that you answer honestly. If you're caught in a lie, the least that will likely happen is you'll be thrown out of the program. However, you could also be jailed or made to pay a fine, depending on the severity of the lie.
3. Finishing the Application
3-1. Submit the application.
Online, you simply submit the application at the end of filling it out. In person, you can submit it at the office you received it from. If you had the form mailed to you, follow the instructions on the form for mailing it back in.
3-2. Wait to hear about your interview.
After you submit your application, you'll need to go in for an interview. Basically, the interview is just a way for you to learn about the program, as well as to help you fill in any blanks you missed on the application.
However, you will be asked to verify parts of your application, so bring in any paperwork you can, such as pay stubs, bills, legal documents (for child support), and so on. You'll also need an ID.
Often, if you fill out the form in person, the interview can happen the same day or the next day.
3-3. Wait to hear back.
Generally, you will hear back within a week. Often, it will be the same day. You may have benefits within a week, though it may take up to a month for you to have access to benefits. Your benefits will be put on a card that you can use like a debit card.
3-4. File an appeal.
If you are denied, you can file an appeal. You must apply within 90 days. All you do is fill out the form and either take it into the office, mail it in, or fax it in. To take it in in person, go to your local social services office with the form. You can also have someone help you fill it out there.
The form is http://dhr.maryland.gov/documents/DHR%20Forms/FIA%20Forms/English/Other-Forms/3%20Request%20Appeal%20for%20Hearing/Request-for-Hearing-Form.pdf.
Mail it to Office of Administrative Hearings, Administrative Law Building, 11101 Gilroy Road, Hunt Valley, MD 21031-1301.

2,190 | How to Apply for Free Personal Grants | 1. Understanding the Grant Process
1-1. Assess your skills and needs for a grant.
Grants provide you with the backing, financial or otherwise, to do something that you could not do otherwise. Grants can allow scientists to perform research, give charities the money to help others, and allow students to pursue higher education, among other things. You should apply for a grant when your current resources do not allow you to do something constructive that you desire to do.
When deciding to apply for a grant, remember that locating, applying for, and winning a grant will be time-consuming and somewhat difficult.
Ask yourself if you can realistically complete your goals without the grant money before applying.
Consider the pros and cons of other sources of funding.
1-2. Identify potential sources of grants.
Grants can be obtained from a wide variety of sources, from federal, state and local governments to many types of organizations and institutions. Your goal should be to find an organization or government that promotes the activity or purpose you need the grant for. Common sources for grant include the following:
Visit Grants.gov. This government site contains easily-searchable listings for a multitude of federal grants.
Look for scholarships with the Department of Labor. If you are looking for money to fund your tuition, then the DOL has a broad listing of scholarships that are available and it is free to use.
Apply for individual fellowships and grants with specific agencies. Many agencies have fellowships that are available to applicants whose research interests match their general mission. For instance, if you are a writer, you might consider applying for an individual fellowship or research assistantship with the National Endowment for the Arts.
Look beyond government sources of funding. If you need a grant to fund a personal need, such as tuition, a home repair, or starting a business, then look to non-profit organizations and charitable organizations in your local area. You are more likely to receive funding from a local source than a national one.
1-3. Understand eligibility for grants.
Grants always come with conditions, whether for the applicant or the project in question or both. For example, you may have to be a student of a certain age to apply for one grant, but a research team with certain qualification to apply for another. Grants may be set up such that they can only be used for certain purposes as well. If you do not meet the qualifications, or are unable to convince the grant committee that you do, you will not be able to get the grant.
Be sure to carefully research grant requirements and restrictions before applying.
2. Finding Grants that Fit Your Skills and Needs
2-1. Search for eligible grants.
There are thousands of federal, state, educational, charitable, and corporate grants available to search for online, but most of them are designed for organizations and governmental agencies. You should not waste time applying for these as an individual because you will be quickly deemed ineligible.
When you go onto the grants.gov web site, be sure to first check the box labeled "Individuals" under the Eligibility section. This will filter out the results so you only see grants you are eligible to win.
If you are looking for funding for your personal education, the department of labor will be a more successful route than grants.gov. Considering looking for a Pell Grant by filling out a copy of the Federal Application for Student Financial Aid.
You can find a nation-wide listing of non-profits at the National Directory of Non-Profit Organizations. Research organizations that are designed to help your needs (i.e. don't apply for a grant that supports medical operations when you need tuition assistance).
Most local governments also maintain a list of non-profits in their districts. Google the name of your county or city and then the word "non-profit" to find a list.
Avoid applying for money at local foundations. Foundations generally award money to non-profits, who in turn use money to support individual applicants.
2-2. Understand individual grant requirements.
Many federal grants for individuals are specific in scope. They may be designed to help an individual conduct research or help complete a project at a federal institution (like the Department of Energy). They are also often designed to help strengthen relationships between the federal government and an international population living in the United States.
If you are looking for a grant to help pay off personal debt -- as in a credit card or student loan debt -- it is unlikely you will find this through the federal government.
2-3. Make a list of eligible grants.
Because the grants are often very specific in nature, it is unlikely you will be a good fit for more than one. But you should still keep a list of the grants you plan to apply to so you can stay organized during the application process.
You should keep this list in an accessible place, like a notebook that you use frequently or save this list on your computer. Consider backing up your documents in cloud space like Dropbox or Google Cloud.
2-4. Prioritize grants by needs and skills.
Grants should be applied for in the order in which they are likely to be successful. Ask yourself if a specific grant fits your needs and skills. What is the likelihood of success? Prioritize those grants that you think you have the highest chance of getting and apply to these first.
3. Applying for Grants
3-1. Obtain an application.
Download the application for the grant. Depending on your project, you will need to choose either the multi-project application PDF or the single-project application pdf. Each option includes instructions specific to the government agency administering the grant, along with application forms designed to be filled in offline. Mandatory fields to fill in are highlighted in yellow and include an asterisk.
Make sure that your version of Adobe Reader is compatible with the grants.gov web site.
If you wish to print out the forms in an application package, you must open each form individually and print it out. There is currently no provision for batch printing the entire package.
This may require you to register for an account. You will need to include the Funding Opportunity Number (or FON) of the grant you want to apply for. You can copy the FON number from the description of the grant, which is the upper right hand of the grant synopsis.
Highlight the number and then right click on it. Select the "copy" option from the drop down men. Then go to the registration page. Right click again and select the "paste" option. This will put the FON number into the box and hit the "Submit" button.
Fill out the registration page according to its instructions. You will then be prompted to create a username and password. Be sure to write these down in a place where you can access them again.
Getting an approved, registered account can take 1-3 weeks, so be sure to budget in this time when you are applying for a grant.
3-2. Complete the application.
The different components of the application will vary with each grant, but you will need to be prepared to write a proposal for your project or research idea. You will need to clearly explain how the funding will help you put your ideas into practice for the particular agency.
Complete the SF-424 form first. This form will automatically populate information on other areas of the application, so be sure to finish this first as it will save you time. This a Federal requirement, so it may not be a mandatory requirement for non-Federal applications.
Be sure to save frequently. If you are filling out the application on a computer as opposed to manually, you will need to hit the "save" button frequently to preserve your work.
Clearly convey your mission. Before you fill out the grant application, you should draft a practice section in which you explain 1) how you will use the grant and 2) how it will benefit the broader community (not just yourself).
Write a clear "thesis statement" for your mission. What will this grant help you to achieve? Will you conduct important research with it, will you use it to enrich a local school, community center, or park? Try to write this in a sentence of 50 words of less. Revise and rewrite this sentence again and again until you make it crystal clear.
Structure your paragraphs properly. If you are writing multiple paragraphs, then make sure each one starts with a topic sentence that offers a new piece of information.
For example, if your first paragraph talks about your interest in education generally, then your second paragraph should discuss your specific plan for using the grant to create an after-school program. Your third paragraph could start with a sentence that discusses the past successes of after school programs in your community (i.e. improved school attendance, better grades for participants, lower levels of bullying, etc.).
Include visuals. If you have graphs, charts or other visual metrics that will help convey the necessity of your project, then you should prepare to include these as well.
These visuals will give the committee an idea of how you plan to measure your results once you implement the grant.
3-3. Submit your application.
Check your application again before submitting. Make sure everything is properly formatted, sized, and contains no errors. When submitting, do the following:
Keep an eye on the file size. There is a file size limit of 200mb on grants.gov. Individual attachments should also be less than 100mb. Find ways to concisely convey your mission and goals so your application can take up less space.
Attachment file names are restricted to 50 characters in length and should not include the special characters &, -, *, /, #, or periods, accent marks or blank spaces. You may separate words in file names with underscores (example: Application_Attachment_File.pdf).
To speed application processing, Grants.gov requires that no two files in an application package have the same name. If you have working files with the same name, you'll need to rename them before attaching them to your application.
Video (.mpeg, .mov, .avi), graphic image (.gif, .jpg, .tif) and audio (.aif, .au, .wav) files should be compressed before being attached, according to the standards of the government agency administering the grant you're applying for.
Check for errors. Your application must be error free before you can successfully submit it. Click the "Check Package for Errors" button on the application to make sure your application is correct.
Obsessively proofread. Your grant will be quickly dismissed if it includes any errors such as typos, grammatical errors or other technical problems. Show the committee you pay attention to detail and thoroughly edit your application.
Save and submit. The final step in the application process entails hitting the Save & Submit button. This will become available once all of the errors are corrected.
3-4. Follow up on your submission.
During the next 2 business days after your submission, Grants.gov will notify you twice by e-mail, first to notify you they have received it and then to notify you that it has either been validated or rejected for technical errors.
Keep your tracking number. Once you have successfully submitted your grant, you will be sent to a confirmation page on-line. The confirmation page will give you a tracking number that you can use to look up the status of your application.
If your application been validated, you will receive a third e-mail from Grants.gov notifying you that the agency administering the grant has received your application, which may followed by another e-mail to notify you that the grantor agency has assigned its own tracking number to your application.
Before the grantor agency replies, you can follow up with Grants.gov by clicking "Track My Application" on the website's left navigation bar. Enter the tracking numbers for the applications you want to check on; you can enter up to five. To check on a larger number than this, log in to Grants.gov and use the Check Application Status link.
3-5. Review reasons for rejections.
Grants.gov awards most of its grants to organizations; as an individual applicant, you may find the odds are stack against you. Your application may be rejected because it did not fulfill the technical requirements for submission. But it is more likely that you simply cannot complete the large task of the grant simply on your own.
Many federal grants are awarded to fund projects that can become models for future research initiatives in government agencies. As a single applicant, your project might be too specialized or limited to become a representative model.
You may be able to successfully reapply for the grant by adjusting content or making the changes necessary to correct deficiencies in a rejected application.
Tips
If you are getting grants and you really don't need it, that is taking from someone who actually needs the money.
If the grant is for leisure, usually nobody will give you a grant.
If you regularly seek government grants, you can subscribe to Grants.gov to receive notice of new postings for federal grant opportunities. Subscribing will also alert you to changes made in the grant package during the application period, as your application will have to conform to the new requirements.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Understanding the Grant Process\\n1-1. Assess your skills and needs for a grant.\\nGrants provide you with the backing, financial or otherwise, to do something that you could not do otherwise. Grants can allow scientists to perform research, give charities the money to help others, and allow students to pursue higher education, among other things. You should apply for a grant when your current resources do not allow you to do something constructive that you desire to do. \\nWhen deciding to apply for a grant, remember that locating, applying for, and winning a grant will be time-consuming and somewhat difficult.\\nAsk yourself if you can realistically complete your goals without the grant money before applying.\\nConsider the pros and cons of other sources of funding.\\n1-2. Identify potential sources of grants.\\nGrants can be obtained from a wide variety of sources, from federal, state and local governments to many types of organizations and institutions. Your goal should be to find an organization or government that promotes the activity or purpose you need the grant for. Common sources for grant include the following:\\nVisit Grants.gov. This government site contains easily-searchable listings for a multitude of federal grants.\\nLook for scholarships with the Department of Labor. If you are looking for money to fund your tuition, then the DOL has a broad listing of scholarships that are available and it is free to use.\\nApply for individual fellowships and grants with specific agencies. Many agencies have fellowships that are available to applicants whose research interests match their general mission. For instance, if you are a writer, you might consider applying for an individual fellowship or research assistantship with the National Endowment for the Arts.\\nLook beyond government sources of funding. If you need a grant to fund a personal need, such as tuition, a home repair, or starting a business, then look to non-profit organizations and charitable organizations in your local area. You are more likely to receive funding from a local source than a national one.\\n1-3. Understand eligibility for grants.\\nGrants always come with conditions, whether for the applicant or the project in question or both. For example, you may have to be a student of a certain age to apply for one grant, but a research team with certain qualification to apply for another. Grants may be set up such that they can only be used for certain purposes as well. If you do not meet the qualifications, or are unable to convince the grant committee that you do, you will not be able to get the grant.\\nBe sure to carefully research grant requirements and restrictions before applying.\\n2. Finding Grants that Fit Your Skills and Needs\\n2-1. Search for eligible grants.\\nThere are thousands of federal, state, educational, charitable, and corporate grants available to search for online, but most of them are designed for organizations and governmental agencies. You should not waste time applying for these as an individual because you will be quickly deemed ineligible.\\nWhen you go onto the grants.gov web site, be sure to first check the box labeled \\\"Individuals\\\" under the Eligibility section. This will filter out the results so you only see grants you are eligible to win.\\nIf you are looking for funding for your personal education, the department of labor will be a more successful route than grants.gov. Considering looking for a Pell Grant by filling out a copy of the Federal Application for Student Financial Aid.\\nYou can find a nation-wide listing of non-profits at the National Directory of Non-Profit Organizations. Research organizations that are designed to help your needs (i.e. don't apply for a grant that supports medical operations when you need tuition assistance).\\nMost local governments also maintain a list of non-profits in their districts. Google the name of your county or city and then the word \\\"non-profit\\\" to find a list.\\nAvoid applying for money at local foundations. Foundations generally award money to non-profits, who in turn use money to support individual applicants.\\n2-2. Understand individual grant requirements.\\nMany federal grants for individuals are specific in scope. They may be designed to help an individual conduct research or help complete a project at a federal institution (like the Department of Energy). They are also often designed to help strengthen relationships between the federal government and an international population living in the United States.\\nIf you are looking for a grant to help pay off personal debt -- as in a credit card or student loan debt -- it is unlikely you will find this through the federal government.\\n2-3. Make a list of eligible grants.\\nBecause the grants are often very specific in nature, it is unlikely you will be a good fit for more than one. But you should still keep a list of the grants you plan to apply to so you can stay organized during the application process. \\nYou should keep this list in an accessible place, like a notebook that you use frequently or save this list on your computer. Consider backing up your documents in cloud space like Dropbox or Google Cloud.\\n2-4. Prioritize grants by needs and skills.\\nGrants should be applied for in the order in which they are likely to be successful. Ask yourself if a specific grant fits your needs and skills. What is the likelihood of success? Prioritize those grants that you think you have the highest chance of getting and apply to these first.\\n3. Applying for Grants\\n3-1. Obtain an application.\\nDownload the application for the grant. Depending on your project, you will need to choose either the multi-project application PDF or the single-project application pdf. Each option includes instructions specific to the government agency administering the grant, along with application forms designed to be filled in offline. Mandatory fields to fill in are highlighted in yellow and include an asterisk.\\nMake sure that your version of Adobe Reader is compatible with the grants.gov web site.\\nIf you wish to print out the forms in an application package, you must open each form individually and print it out. There is currently no provision for batch printing the entire package.\\nThis may require you to register for an account. You will need to include the Funding Opportunity Number (or FON) of the grant you want to apply for. You can copy the FON number from the description of the grant, which is the upper right hand of the grant synopsis.\\nHighlight the number and then right click on it. Select the \\\"copy\\\" option from the drop down men. Then go to the registration page. Right click again and select the \\\"paste\\\" option. This will put the FON number into the box and hit the \\\"Submit\\\" button.\\nFill out the registration page according to its instructions. You will then be prompted to create a username and password. Be sure to write these down in a place where you can access them again.\\nGetting an approved, registered account can take 1-3 weeks, so be sure to budget in this time when you are applying for a grant.\\n3-2. Complete the application.\\nThe different components of the application will vary with each grant, but you will need to be prepared to write a proposal for your project or research idea. You will need to clearly explain how the funding will help you put your ideas into practice for the particular agency.\\nComplete the SF-424 form first. This form will automatically populate information on other areas of the application, so be sure to finish this first as it will save you time. This a Federal requirement, so it may not be a mandatory requirement for non-Federal applications.\\nBe sure to save frequently. If you are filling out the application on a computer as opposed to manually, you will need to hit the \\\"save\\\" button frequently to preserve your work.\\nClearly convey your mission. Before you fill out the grant application, you should draft a practice section in which you explain 1) how you will use the grant and 2) how it will benefit the broader community (not just yourself).\\nWrite a clear \\\"thesis statement\\\" for your mission. What will this grant help you to achieve? Will you conduct important research with it, will you use it to enrich a local school, community center, or park? Try to write this in a sentence of 50 words of less. Revise and rewrite this sentence again and again until you make it crystal clear.\\n\\nStructure your paragraphs properly. If you are writing multiple paragraphs, then make sure each one starts with a topic sentence that offers a new piece of information.\\nFor example, if your first paragraph talks about your interest in education generally, then your second paragraph should discuss your specific plan for using the grant to create an after-school program. Your third paragraph could start with a sentence that discusses the past successes of after school programs in your community (i.e. improved school attendance, better grades for participants, lower levels of bullying, etc.).\\nInclude visuals. If you have graphs, charts or other visual metrics that will help convey the necessity of your project, then you should prepare to include these as well.\\nThese visuals will give the committee an idea of how you plan to measure your results once you implement the grant.\\n3-3. Submit your application.\\nCheck your application again before submitting. Make sure everything is properly formatted, sized, and contains no errors. When submitting, do the following:\\nKeep an eye on the file size. There is a file size limit of 200mb on grants.gov. Individual attachments should also be less than 100mb. Find ways to concisely convey your mission and goals so your application can take up less space.\\nAttachment file names are restricted to 50 characters in length and should not include the special characters &, -, *, /, #, or periods, accent marks or blank spaces. You may separate words in file names with underscores (example: Application_Attachment_File.pdf).\\nTo speed application processing, Grants.gov requires that no two files in an application package have the same name. If you have working files with the same name, you'll need to rename them before attaching them to your application.\\nVideo (.mpeg, .mov, .avi), graphic image (.gif, .jpg, .tif) and audio (.aif, .au, .wav) files should be compressed before being attached, according to the standards of the government agency administering the grant you're applying for.\\nCheck for errors. Your application must be error free before you can successfully submit it. Click the \\\"Check Package for Errors\\\" button on the application to make sure your application is correct.\\nObsessively proofread. Your grant will be quickly dismissed if it includes any errors such as typos, grammatical errors or other technical problems. Show the committee you pay attention to detail and thoroughly edit your application.\\nSave and submit. The final step in the application process entails hitting the Save & Submit button. This will become available once all of the errors are corrected.\\n3-4. Follow up on your submission.\\nDuring the next 2 business days after your submission, Grants.gov will notify you twice by e-mail, first to notify you they have received it and then to notify you that it has either been validated or rejected for technical errors.\\nKeep your tracking number. Once you have successfully submitted your grant, you will be sent to a confirmation page on-line. The confirmation page will give you a tracking number that you can use to look up the status of your application.\\nIf your application been validated, you will receive a third e-mail from Grants.gov notifying you that the agency administering the grant has received your application, which may followed by another e-mail to notify you that the grantor agency has assigned its own tracking number to your application.\\nBefore the grantor agency replies, you can follow up with Grants.gov by clicking \\\"Track My Application\\\" on the website's left navigation bar. Enter the tracking numbers for the applications you want to check on; you can enter up to five. To check on a larger number than this, log in to Grants.gov and use the Check Application Status link.\\n3-5. Review reasons for rejections.\\nGrants.gov awards most of its grants to organizations; as an individual applicant, you may find the odds are stack against you. Your application may be rejected because it did not fulfill the technical requirements for submission. But it is more likely that you simply cannot complete the large task of the grant simply on your own. \\nMany federal grants are awarded to fund projects that can become models for future research initiatives in government agencies.

2,191 | How to Apply for Guardianship | 1. Deciding to Become a Guardian
1-1. Decide whether becoming a legal guardian is right for your situation.
Guardians are court-supervised caretakers for minors and incapacitated persons. Guardians are responsible for the wellbeing of their wards (the person for whom they are the guardian), and may also be responsible for handling the person's assets and finances. The guardian must periodically report to the court on the ward's status. Make sure that you are prepared to accept the responsibility of acting as a legal guardian.
In some states, guardianships are called conservatorships. In California, for example, guardianships are for children, and conservatorships are for incapacitated adults.
Consider alternatives to becoming a legal guardian. Think about other avenues to protect the child's or adult's well-being before starting the process to become someone's legal guardian. Some alternatives you might look into include a power of attorney, living will, health care proxy, and/or a representative payee arrangement. You may also be able to file for a temporary guardianship, which is a faster process for emergency cases, and ends when the court appoints a permanent guardian.
1-2. Verify that your prospective ward is eligible for a guardianship.
The eligibility standards for guardianships differ between children and adults. A child can have a non-parent guardian as long as the child is under 18 years of age and has not been emancipated by a court order. An adult is not eligible for a guardianship unless the court finds evidence that the adult is legally incapacitated, either by age or disability. Incapacity must be proven by clear and convincing evidence that the person cannot provide his or her own food, clothing, or shelter, manage physical health or financial affairs. Procedures differ by state, but courts will require a statement from a doctor, and will appoint an attorney to investigate and represent the interests of the proposed ward.
Having someone declared legally incapacitated can be a challenging process. The process can be further complicated if the ward has substantial property or assets to manage, or if the ward is a Native American (which may raise issues of federal law). Consider hiring an attorney to handle your case. You can get referrals from friends and family, or from attorneys who may not handle guardianships but know a trusted colleague who does. You can also use referral services through your state and local bar associations, or just search online.
Some courts with particularly complicated guardianship processes may not hear guardianship applications filed by non-lawyers. Verify your court's rules before you begin.
1-3. Verify that you are eligible to become a guardian.
To become a guardian, you must demonstrate to the court that your are capable of accepting the responsibility of a guardianship. You do not need to be a relative of the ward. You may be found to be ineligible if you are have a history of bad conduct (especially a felony conviction), conflicts of interest with the ward, inexperience, lack of education, or are a minor or incapacitated person yourself. Furthermore, if two or more eligible people both wish to become the guardian, the court will have to choose one over the other.
In Texas, for example, if more than one person seeks a guardianship, the court will consider whether the proposed ward designated someone to serve as guardian prior to his or her incapacity. The court will then give priority in to proposed guardians in the following order: anyone designated by the last surviving parent of the ward, the ward's spouse, the ward's next of kin, and then non-relatives.
1-4. Differentiate between guardianship of the person versus guardianship of the estate.
Your state may require you to submit different forms depending on whether you wish to become the guardian of the person or the estate, or both. Guardianship of the person means that you are responsible for the well being of the ward, from personal care and maintenance to medical decisions. If the ward is a child, you will be responsible for their living conditions, schooling, medical needs, and any harm the ward causes. Guardianship of the estate means that you are tasked with managing, investing, protecting, and disposing of the ward's assets and property in accordance with the law and the ward's best interests.
2. Filing Your Forms
2-1. Fill out the necessary forms and documents.
If becoming someone's legal guardian is the right choice for you, you should start the process by obtaining and filling out the required forms. You can usually find all the required forms online by going to your state's judicial branch website. If you cannot find the required documents online, go to the courthouse and ask a clerk for the necessary forms. Some of the forms you will need to fill out include:
A petition for the appointment of a guardian. This document asks for general information , including your name, address, and the proposed ward's name. It will also ask you to explain why the ward needs a guardian and what powers you should be granted over the ward.
A notice of hearing. This is the document you will give to all interested parties, such as parents and other relatives, and your county's and state's social services departments. The notice states what the petition is about and when the hearing will take place.
A duties of the guardian form. This document lays out all of the duties you will be required to fulfill as a guardian. You must sign this document and file it with the rest of your forms.
2-2. File all the required documentation with the clerk of courts.
Once you have filled out all the required documents, you will take them to your courthouse and file them with the clerk of courts. You will have to pay a fee for filing unless you obtain a fee waiver because you are unable to pay.
2-3. Give notice of the hearing to all interested parties.
After filing your petition, you will have to give notice to interested parties, including relatives of the ward and state and county agencies. In order to give the interested parties proper notice, you must follow the directions laid out by the laws of your state, so be sure to carefully review those requirements.
3. Attending the Hearing
3-1. Attend the court hearing.
After you file your forms, the clerk will inform you of your hearing date. Be sure you bring all of your documents with you to the hearing, including proofs of service verifying that you gave notice to all interested parties. Be prepared to:
Present evidence that the person needs a guardian. You should develop a short story telling the judge why the allegedly incapacitated person is in need of a guardian. Describe the person's daily routine, what services the person uses or needs, and why he or she is no longer able to manage personal needs and/or property.
Answer questions from the judge about why you should be the guardian. Explain what you are going to do to care for the ward, explain the support system you have in place to help you provide that care, and explain how you are financially stable enough to provide care for another person.
Offer witness testimony regarding your ability to be a guardian. Consider calling on family members, neighbors, and people who currently care for the person. Ask them to attend the hearing with you and speak on your behalf.
Listen and respond to any objections to your petition. Other interested parties may attend the hearing, and may challenge your request to be a guardian. Try to anticipate those challenges as best you can.
3-2. Get an order from the judge.
After your hearing, your judge will make a decision as to whether you will be named the guardian over the person. For guardianships of children, if the child's parents agree with the guardianship, the judge will typically allow it if it is appropriate or necessary. If one or both of the parents object, the judge will grant your guardianship only if staying with the parent(s) will be detrimental to the child and the guardianship will be in the best interest of the child.

Warnings
This article is intended as legal information and does not provide legal advice. If you need legal advice, contact a licensed attorney.
Give the concept of legal guardianship much thought before filing a petition. When you become a legal guardian, you assume complete responsibility for the person. You do not become the parent, but you do take on parental duties.
Your duty as a legal guardian of a minor ceases, under normal circumstances, when the child turns 18.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Deciding to Become a Guardian\\n1-1. Decide whether becoming a legal guardian is right for your situation.\\nGuardians are court-supervised caretakers for minors and incapacitated persons. Guardians are responsible for the wellbeing of their wards (the person for whom they are the guardian), and may also be responsible for handling the person's assets and finances. The guardian must periodically report to the court on the ward's status. Make sure that you are prepared to accept the responsibility of acting as a legal guardian.\\nIn some states, guardianships are called conservatorships. In California, for example, guardianships are for children, and conservatorships are for incapacitated adults.\\nConsider alternatives to becoming a legal guardian. Think about other avenues to protect the child's or adult's well-being before starting the process to become someone's legal guardian. Some alternatives you might look into include a power of attorney, living will, health care proxy, and/or a representative payee arrangement. You may also be able to file for a temporary guardianship, which is a faster process for emergency cases, and ends when the court appoints a permanent guardian.\\n1-2. Verify that your prospective ward is eligible for a guardianship.\\nThe eligibility standards for guardianships differ between children and adults. A child can have a non-parent guardian as long as the child is under 18 years of age and has not been emancipated by a court order. An adult is not eligible for a guardianship unless the court finds evidence that the adult is legally incapacitated, either by age or disability. Incapacity must be proven by clear and convincing evidence that the person cannot provide his or her own food, clothing, or shelter, manage physical health or financial affairs. Procedures differ by state, but courts will require a statement from a doctor, and will appoint an attorney to investigate and represent the interests of the proposed ward.\\nHaving someone declared legally incapacitated can be a challenging process. The process can be further complicated if the ward has substantial property or assets to manage, or if the ward is a Native American (which may raise issues of federal law). Consider hiring an attorney to handle your case. You can get referrals from friends and family, or from attorneys who may not handle guardianships but know a trusted colleague who does. You can also use referral services through your state and local bar associations, or just search online.\\nSome courts with particularly complicated guardianship processes may not hear guardianship applications filed by non-lawyers. Verify your court's rules before you begin.\\n1-3. Verify that you are eligible to become a guardian.\\nTo become a guardian, you must demonstrate to the court that your are capable of accepting the responsibility of a guardianship. You do not need to be a relative of the ward. You may be found to be ineligible if you are have a history of bad conduct (especially a felony conviction), conflicts of interest with the ward, inexperience, lack of education, or are a minor or incapacitated person yourself. Furthermore, if two or more eligible people both wish to become the guardian, the court will have to choose one over the other.\\nIn Texas, for example, if more than one person seeks a guardianship, the court will consider whether the proposed ward designated someone to serve as guardian prior to his or her incapacity. The court will then give priority in to proposed guardians in the following order: anyone designated by the last surviving parent of the ward, the ward's spouse, the ward's next of kin, and then non-relatives.\\n1-4. Differentiate between guardianship of the person versus guardianship of the estate.\\nYour state may require you to submit different forms depending on whether you wish to become the guardian of the person or the estate, or both. Guardianship of the person means that you are responsible for the well being of the ward, from personal care and maintenance to medical decisions. If the ward is a child, you will be responsible for their living conditions, schooling, medical needs, and any harm the ward causes. Guardianship of the estate means that you are tasked with managing, investing, protecting, and disposing of the ward's assets and property in accordance with the law and the ward's best interests.\\n2. Filing Your Forms\\n2-1. Fill out the necessary forms and documents.\\nIf becoming someone's legal guardian is the right choice for you, you should start the process by obtaining and filling out the required forms. You can usually find all the required forms online by going to your state's judicial branch website. If you cannot find the required documents online, go to the courthouse and ask a clerk for the necessary forms. Some of the forms you will need to fill out include:\\nA petition for the appointment of a guardian. This document asks for general information , including your name, address, and the proposed ward's name. It will also ask you to explain why the ward needs a guardian and what powers you should be granted over the ward.\\nA notice of hearing. This is the document you will give to all interested parties, such as parents and other relatives, and your county's and state's social services departments. The notice states what the petition is about and when the hearing will take place.\\nA duties of the guardian form. This document lays out all of the duties you will be required to fulfill as a guardian. You must sign this document and file it with the rest of your forms.\\n2-2. File all the required documentation with the clerk of courts.\\nOnce you have filled out all the required documents, you will take them to your courthouse and file them with the clerk of courts. You will have to pay a fee for filing unless you obtain a fee waiver because you are unable to pay.\\n2-3. Give notice of the hearing to all interested parties.\\nAfter filing your petition, you will have to give notice to interested parties, including relatives of the ward and state and county agencies. In order to give the interested parties proper notice, you must follow the directions laid out by the laws of your state, so be sure to carefully review those requirements.\\n3. Attending the Hearing\\n3-1. Attend the court hearing.\\nAfter you file your forms, the clerk will inform you of your hearing date. Be sure you bring all of your documents with you to the hearing, including proofs of service verifying that you gave notice to all interested parties. Be prepared to:\\nPresent evidence that the person needs a guardian. You should develop a short story telling the judge why the allegedly incapacitated person is in need of a guardian. Describe the person's daily routine, what services the person uses or needs, and why he or she is no longer able to manage personal needs and/or property.\\nAnswer questions from the judge about why you should be the guardian. Explain what you are going to do to care for the ward, explain the support system you have in place to help you provide that care, and explain how you are financially stable enough to provide care for another person.\\nOffer witness testimony regarding your ability to be a guardian. Consider calling on family members, neighbors, and people who currently care for the person. Ask them to attend the hearing with you and speak on your behalf.\\nListen and respond to any objections to your petition. Other interested parties may attend the hearing, and may challenge your request to be a guardian. Try to anticipate those challenges as best you can.\\n3-2. Get an order from the judge.\\nAfter your hearing, your judge will make a decision as to whether you will be named the guardian over the person. For guardianships of children, if the child's parents agree with the guardianship, the judge will typically allow it if it is appropriate or necessary. If one or both of the parents object, the judge will grant your guardianship only if staying with the parent(s) will be detrimental to the child and the guardianship will be in the best interest of the child.\\nIf the court denies your petition, you may be able to try again or file an appeal. Check your state's rules of appellate procedure for time-frames and rules for filing an appeal.\\n3-3. File your court order with the clerk of courts.\\nIf your judge allows you to be the guardian of the ward, you will be given a court order. File that order with the clerk of courts.\\n3-4.

2,192 | How to Apply for H4 EAD | 1. Completing Your Application
1-1. Review the eligibility requirements.
To be eligible for an H-4 EAD, your spouse must be an H-1B holder that was granted H-1B status under sections 106(a) and (b) of AC21. You're also eligible if your H-1B spouse is the beneficiary of an approved Form I-140.
If you have questions about your spouse's status, or about your eligibility, call the USCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 or talk to an experienced immigration attorney.
1-2. Download Form I-765 and instructions.
The most current version of Form I-765 and instructions on how to complete and submit it are available on USCIS's website at https://www.uscis.gov/i-765. While you may find copies elsewhere, they may not be the most current version.
If you submit an earlier version of Form I-765, USCIS will not accept it and you'll have to apply again.
Read the instructions carefully and use them to fill out your form. If you answer any questions inaccurately, your application could be delayed or denied.
1-3. Fill out your application.
Form I-765 requires information about you and your spouse. You can type your answers on a computer and then print the completed form, or you can print it and handwrite your answers. If you write your answers, print in black ink.
Answer the questions fully and accurately. If a question isn't applicable to you or your answer is "none," write or type out "none" or "N/A" (for "not applicable"). Do not leave it blank.
1-4. Sign and date your application.
Once you've completed your application, look over it carefully and make sure all answers are complete and correct, and there are no typos or other errors. Sign the application in black ink.
If you typed your application, print the filled-in form before you sign it. USCIS will not accept a typed name or a photocopied signature.
2. Assembling Your Application Packet
2-1. Provide evidence of your H-4 status.
A copy of your Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record that shows your admission to the country as an H-4 nonimmigrant is sufficient to prove your H-4 status. You can also submit a copy of your current Form I-797 approval notice for Form I-539.
Make sure the document you use is current and valid. Don't use a document that's expired.
2-2. Include a copy of your government-issued photo ID.
Any government-issued ID, including a visa or a copy of the biometric page of your passport, is sufficient to prove your identity. You can also use a copy of your birth certificate if it includes photo ID.
If you have a national identity document from your country of origin, you can also make a copy of that provided it's still valid.
You can also use your EAD if you have prior employment authorization.
2-3. Make a copy of your marriage certificate.
Your H-4 status is dependent on being married to an H-1B nonimmigrant. A copy of your marriage certificate is required to provide evidence of your relationship to your spouse.
If you were married in another country and your marriage certificate is in another language, attach a certified translation of the document.
2-4. Provide evidence of your eligibility for an EAD.
To prove you are eligible for an EAD you must include copies of your spouse's immigration papers that show their H-1B status. This could be a copy of approval notices, or of your spouse's visa.
If your application is based on a Form I-140 that's still pending, provide evidence of the pending application, such as a copy of the notice of receipt of that form.
If your not sure what evidence you need to submit, call the USCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 or talk to an experienced immigration attorney.
2-5. Get passport photos taken.
You will need two identical passport photos for your EAD. You can get passport photos taken in many retail locations, including most pharmacies and shipping services.
You must use recent photos. Go ahead and get new ones taken, even if you have some that were taken within the past few months.
Make sure your passport photos meet US guidelines. Your photos must be printed in color on photo-quality paper, and they must be 2 inches (5.1 cm) by 2 inches (5.1 cm) in size. The distance from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head needs to be between 1–1.375 inches (2.54–3.49 cm).
3. Submitting Your Application
3-1. Determine your direct filing address.
Provided that you are submitting Form I-765 by itself, the address where you need to send your application packet depends on your eligibility category. You can find your eligibility category on Question 16 of your form.
Once you know your eligibility category, visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-765-addresses and click on your category to get the address.
3-2. Include a notification form.
If you want to receive an email or text notification when USCIS has accepted your form, fill out Form G-1145, "E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance," and attach it to the first page of your application.
You can download this form from the USCIS website at https://www.uscis.gov/g-1145.
3-3. Get a check or money order for the filing fee.
The filing fee for Form I-765 is $410. You can pay this fee with a check or money order. If you pay using a personal check, it must be from a US bank and payable in US funds.
You may also need to pay an $85 biometric services fee if you're a spouse or unmarried dependent child of a beneficiary of an employment-based immigrant petition.
Make your check out to the "U.S. Department of Homeland Security." Do not abbreviate the department name in any way. Be sure to write the date using the US "month-day-year" format.
Include "Form I-765" on the memo line as the purpose for your payment.
3-4. Put your documents in order.
Using the order recommended by USCIS ensures that your documents will be processed with minimal delay. Place your check or money order for your fees on the top of your application packet.
Place Form G-1145 next, if you decided you wanted an email notification when your application was accepted. Place your completed Form I-765 directly behind it.
The documents you're submitting as evidence should follow Form I-765. Put them in the order they are listed in the form instructions.
Remember to include photocopies of all of your official documents. If you send originals, they'll become part of USCIS records and you won't get them back.
3-5. Mail your application packet to the appropriate address.
Use a manila envelope of sufficient size to hold all of your documents without folding anything. You can mail the packet using the US Postal Service or a commercial delivery service such as UPS or FedEx.
Double check the address before you file. If you send your application to the wrong address, it will be rejected and you'll have to file it again.
Your mailing address will be different if you use a private carrier instead of the US Postal Service.
3-6. Wait for your application to be processed.
Assuming your application is approved, you may have to wait a couple of months before you receive your EAD. Remember that you can't start working until you get your EAD.
If your application has been pending for more than 90 days, you can submit an inquiry to the service center that is processing your application.

2,193 | How to Apply for HUD Housing | 1. Navigating the HUD Program
1-1. Find your local Public Housing Agency.
Although HUD is federally funded, it is run on a local level through individual Public Housing Agencies (HA). You will need to determine which one services your specific area in order to get information about the programs available in your region and move ahead with the application process.
Go online to this website and select your state to find the list of HA's in your area. Then scroll through the list to find the contact information (phone and/or e-mail) for the one in your city.
1-2. Familiarize yourself with HUD’s programs.
There is no one-size-fits all HUD housing. Rather, there are a variety of assistance programs (private market rentals, home-buying assistance) and types of housing (single-family homes, high-rise apartments), some of which may be better suited to you/your family and your particular situation. Among the numerous options are the following programs:
: Formerly known as Section 8 housing, this program is the largest program administered by HUD. It provides vouchers for renting in the private market. Eligible applicants include low-income families and individuals, the elderly, and the disabled.
: HOME provides low-income households with funding to build, buy, or rehabilitate housing for renting or ownership.
: This program provides housing assistance to people with HIV/AIDS and their families. Additional support services are also provided.
: This program includes Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly and the Congregate Housing Services Program (CHSP). These programs may be especially beneficial to elderly persons, as they provide some additional services such as housekeeping and transportation. The CHSP is a very limited program, and Section 202 is available for people at least 62 years of age and with a very low income.
: This program strives to reduce homelessness among veterans and their families. Additional services are provided.
: Unlike some other HUD programs, SHOP is primarily granted to regional and national non-profit organizations, not individuals/families. It provides assistance in purchasing and renovating home sites.
1-3. Check your income.
Before spending the time to fill out a lengthy application, you can check your income against the “income limit” developed by HUD to determine who will qualify for housing. Income limits vary by area and depend on the size of your household, so it’s important to compare your income against the limit for the area where you’re seeking housing.
Income limits are based on the median income in your city or metropolitan area. “Lower income” limits are set at 80% of the median, while “very low” limits are set at 50% of the median.
You can contact your local HA to find out the income limit for your area, or you can look online at http://www.huduser.org/portal/datasets/il.html.
Just because your income doesn’t fall at or below the income limit doesn’t mean you shouldn’t apply. It might, however, be a good idea to speak with an HA representative first.
1-4. Browse through the HUD website.
There are many resources available here, and you can find a lot of information about different housing programs and types of assistance, as well links for locating lenders, estimating a loan, and finding affordable apartments. Start by selecting your state from the "State Info" tab at the top of the home page.
2. Filling out the Application
2-1. Determine how you will fill out the application.
According to the federal government’s HUD website, all HUD applications must be filled out in hardcopy, and you may either fill the application out yourself or get help from an HA representative.
Some states may, however, allow for electronic applications for certain programs. Contact your local HA to find out about their specific policies.
If you are filling the application out yourself, you may be able to print it online and mail/fax it in, depending on your local HA’s policies. Otherwise you will need to make an appointment to go into the HA office and fill the application out there.
2-2. Make an appointment.
If your HA requires that you fill out the application in person, or if you would like help filling out the application, call your local agency to set up an appointment.
2-3. Collect the necessary information.
You will need an array of information for the application process, so collect it beforehand to ensure you’re prepared. If you’re going into the HA’s office, it’s best to have the information written down in case you forget something.
You will need your current address and telephone number along with information about everyone who will be living in the housing unit (name, sex, date of birth, and their relationship to the head of household).
The application will require information about veteran status or whether you are currently living in substandard housing. These details may help you to qualify for specific programs.
You will need to provide an estimate of your household income for the next 12 months and the sources of the income.
Be prepared to give contact information for your current and previous landlords, employers, and banks.
2-4. Locate appropriate documentation.
When you go to the Housing Agency to fill out your application, you should take with you birth certificates, tax returns, your driver’s license, and other information that will help the HA verify the information you give on your application.
Having this documentation available at the time you fill out the application will make the process run a lot more smoothly and quickly. Otherwise, you may have to spend days or weeks getting the information to the correct people and waiting for your application to be processed in the meantime.
2-5. Fill out the application.
The application may be fairly detailed, so expect to spend a while filling it out. If you are filling it out online, be sure to set aside enough time, as certain systems may not allow you to save your progress and you don’t want to have to start over again if you get interrupted in the middle.
Apply for as many different assistance programs as you can. Most have considerable wait lists, and applying to multiple programs maximizes your chances of moving to the top of at least one waiting list in a relatively quick time frame.
Wait lists may only be open for a short window in a given time period. Therefore, in order to increase your likelihood of making it onto the waitlist should your application be accepted, it’s important that you meet the required deadline for applying to a given program. Having all the necessary information and documentation with you when you go to the HA to fill out the application will help you avoid unnecessary delays.
HAs generally receive many more applications for assistance than they are able to accept. If you meet any criteria that count as preference or priority status, be sure to note these on your application, as these will make you more likely to move up the waiting list and be selected for housing. Priority status may be accorded to someone whose apartment has been condemned; who is living in a shelter or on the street; who is suffering a severe medical emergency; who is paying more than half his or her income in rent; who is facing domestic violence; or who is being evicted through no fault of his or her own.
Make sure your application information is entirely correct. If the housing agency or a landlord finds that you have provided false information on your housing application, it can be denied.
2-6. Ask questions.
If you’ve filled out the application in person, an HA representative will be available to answer any questions you may have about HUD housing and the application process. He can give you information about different programs, the selection process, wait list times, etc.
At any time during the process, you can call your local agency and ask them questions about the application process, available programs in your area, and so on. You should also be able to make an appointment to speak with a representative in the office about concerns other than filling out an application.
Tips
Wait lists for housing assistance can range from two to five years, with particularly long waits in metropolitan areas.[17]

If one HA doesn’t have the type of housing you’re looking for, consider looking elsewhere if you’re able to move to a different area—another nearby HA might.[18]

2,194 | How to Apply for Long Term Disability Benefits | 1. Applying for Benefits from a Private Insurer
1-1. Read your policy.
If you have a private long-term disability policy and you've become disabled, your policy documents will explain the process for applying for benefits.
Your policy specifies the disabilities that are covered by your policy as well as how to file a claim. Make sure you are already seeing a doctor before you apply for benefits, since the insurance company will want proof of your disability and will need to review your medical records and discuss your impairment with your doctor.
Look for the plan's definition of disability. This definition essentially outlines what you have to prove to be eligible for benefits under your policy.
Certain conditions, such as those related to pre-existing conditions, or to drug or alcohol abuse, typically are excluded from coverage. Similarly, your benefits may be limited if your disability is based more on subjective complaints than on an objectively quantifiable impairment. Examples of such conditions include depression and fibromyalgia.
Keep in mind that if your policy was provided by your employer, it is governed by federal law. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) regulates applications for long-term disability benefits under these policies.
Under ERISA, you have the right to receive a copy of your plan description and policy documents upon written request.
1-2. Complete your application.
Private insurers typically will have an initial application you must fill out to provide the company with information about your disability.
Use the information you learned from reading your policy to determine the type of information you must include in your application or claim form to prove to the insurance company that you are disabled and entitled to receive benefits.
Make a note of all deadlines and make sure you've submitted your application and any related documentation by the dates provided. If you miss a deadline, your insurer may use it as a reason to deny your claim.
1-3. Get appropriate documentation.
To qualify for long-term disability benefits, you must prove to your ensurer that you are no longer able to work due to a disability expected to last more than a year.
Your insurer most likely will request all medical records related to your disability, including any laboratory or test results, clinical notes, and exam reports.
You might want to consider getting copies of your medical records yourself before submitting them to your insurer, so you know what they include and can analyze how this information might be used either to approve or deny your claim.
Make sure you submit all documents requested, particularly medical evidence, as soon as possible after it has been requested. This ensures you won't miss any deadlines and decreases the changes that the insurance company will deny your claim.
You might consider getting your doctor to write a letter supporting your application for benefits. Your doctor can explain your disability and how it limits your ability to work.
Keep in mind that your doctor may charge a fee to write a detailed report of your disability and medical history for you, but generally this fee will be worth it if the letter significantly increases your chances of receiving long-term disability benefits.
While your doctor's opinion is important, you also need objective proof of your disability and its effect on your ability to perform your job.
1-4. Work with your claims administrator.
Your claim will be assigned to a claims administrator, who typically is someone who works for your insurance company.
Your claims administrator may contact you for additional information or to request documents or contact information for your doctors or other health care providers.
Keep in mind that most private insurers who approve you for long-term disability benefits also will require you to apply for Social Security benefits. If you are approved for Social Security disability, the insurance company is only responsible for amounts your Social Security benefits don't cover.
1-5. Consider consulting an attorney.
Because ERISA claims are complicated and frequently denied, you may want advice from an attorney who specializes in ERISA and long-term disability claims.
If you apply for disability and are denied, you have the right under ERISA to sue the insurance company in federal court. However, it is exceedingly difficult to convince a court to overturn an insurance company's denial of benefits.
Keep in mind that an attorney can not only help you submit an application but knows how to maximize the chances that you will be approved for benefits.
2. Applying for Social Security Benefits
2-1. Download the Disability Starter Kit.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) provides a starter kit with basic information about Social Security law and the types of long-term disability benefits available.
The kit includes and overview of what to expect from the application process, as well as a checklist and a worksheet to help you organize your information and make sure you have all the documents the SSA needs to process your application.
If you're unable to download the kit online, you also can request one be mailed to you by calling the SSA at 1-800-772-1213.
2-2. Gather documents and information.
You can use the checklist provided in the starter kit to make sure you have all the information needed to complete your application.
You will need the names, addresses, and phone numbers of all of your medical providers, as well as the dates you visited those doctors or facilities and copies of your records from those visits, including laboratory or test results.
Concentrate on the documents you already have in your possession. The SSA will assist you in requesting additional documentation if it is needed.
Keep in mind that the more documentation you can provide to back up your claim that you are disabled, the greater the likelihood that your application will be approved.
2-3. Complete your application.
You can complete a long-term disability application online, by calling the SSA's toll-free telephone number, or by visiting your nearest Social Security office in person.
The Disability Starter Kit includes a link to the online application. You also can apply either by calling 1-800-772-1213, or by scheduling an appointment at your local SSA office.
If you want to apply in person, you can find the location and phone number of your nearest SSA office by using the SSA office locator at https://www.ssa.gov/locator/.
The application requires you to provide details about yourself, your disability, and your work and income history. Generally, you must prove that your disability prevents you from performing work in your field, and that there is no other work available to you elsewhere that you could perform.
2-4. Submit required documents.
If you apply online or over the phone, you still must submit certain documents to verify the information you provided in your application.
You should send your documents to your local SSA office, and include your Social Security number with the documents so SSA staff can apply the documents to the correct application.
Keep in mind that you must send originals, not copies, of many of the required documents. You should send these documents using certified mail with returned receipt requested so you know when the office receives your documents.
Once the SSA reviews your originals, it will make copies and send your originals back to you. However, if you don't feel comfortable sending original documents through the mail you can always take them down to your local SSA office in person.
2-5. Wait for a response.
It can take between three and five months for the SSA to process applications for disability benefits.
After your application and all supporting documentation are received, a medical and vocational expert will review your materials and determine whether you qualify for long term disability benefits.
You may be contacted by an SSA representative if further information is required to process your application, or if you need to complete additional medical examinations.
Keep in mind that if the SSA requires you to complete a medical examination, you won't have to pay any money for it. You are, however, responsible for keeping the appointment.
2-6. Consider consulting an attorney.
Especially if your application is denied, you may want to get advice and assistance from an experienced Social Security disability attorney.
Keep in mind that long-term disability applications frequently are denied and must go through the appeals process. An experienced Social Security disability attorney understands and can help guide you through this process.
If you are concerned about the cost of an attorney, you might consider checking with your local legal aid office. Nonprofit organizations dedicated to assisting disabled people also may have legal resources or recommendations for attorneys who provide services for free or using a sliding-fee scale based on your income.

2,195 | How to Apply for Low Income Housing | 1. Applying for Public Housing
1-1. Confirm your eligibility for public housing.
While some areas may have specific local requirements, the basic eligibility criteria for public housing are established by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Generally, at least one member of your family must have legal status, your family cannot have outstanding consumer debt obligations that are more than 60 percent of your income, and all adult family members must be able to pass a criminal background check.
Because public housing is available for low-income families, income eligibility is set each year based on the median income in your area. You're considered extremely low income if you make 30 percent of the median, very low income if you make 50 percent of the median, and low income if you make 80 percent of the median. Your local housing authority can provide you with specifics for your area.
Your application will be given preference if the head of your household is in college or working at least 20 hours a week at federal minimum wage. If the head of your household is disabled or over the age of 62, your application will also be given preference. Because many areas have long waiting lists for public housing, this preference is very valuable.
1-2. Contact your local housing authority (HA).
Local HAs are responsible for managing and operating the public housing program in your area. Some HAs allow you to apply online, but most of them require you to make an appointment and meet with an HA representative in person.
To find your local housing authority, go to https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/public_indian_housing/pha/contacts and click on your state on the map.
Call ahead and ask what you need to do to apply for public housing. The representative you speak to will let you know the exact process in your area.
1-3. Complete your written application.
On your application, provide information about everyone in your household, including yourself. The application may also ask for an estimate of your household income from all sources. You may need to provide employment information as well.
In most areas, you have the option of either turning in your application to your local HA in person or mailing it in. Your application will likely be processed more quickly if you take it into the HA in person. Call ahead and find out if you need to make an appointment.
1-4. Gather documents to support your application.
Once you've filed your initial application, an HA representative will contact you and let you know what documents are needed. You will likely need to make an appointment to bring these documents into the HA office. The specific documents you need will vary depending on your circumstances. However, you can expect to need documents such as:
Birth certificates;
Tax returns;
Marriage certificates or divorce decrees;
Verification from your employer;
Proof of citizenship or legal residency;
Bank statements; and
Pay stubs.
1-5. Wait for written notification of the housing authority's decision.
The HA representative reviews your application and supporting documents to decide if you are eligible for public housing. HUD requires your local HA to send you written notice of the decision.
If the HA determines that you are ineligible, the notification will give you the reason why. You can request an informal hearing to challenge that decision. The notification will explain how to do this.
If you are deemed eligible for public housing, you will be put on a waiting list. The HA will notify you when a unit is available with the correct number of bedrooms for your household size.
1-6. Sign your lease and pay your security deposit if required.
The HA will notify you when a unit is available. You don't have to accept a unit offered to you. However, in most areas, you cannot choose a specific community where you want to live. When a unit opens up that you want to move into, you'll sign your lease with your local HA.
The amount of rent you'll pay depends on your total family income less allowed deductions for dependents. Typically, your rent will be no more than 30 percent of this amount. Your HA may have a minimum rent. If 30 percent of your income is less than that minimum rent, you would pay the minimum (typically $25 or $50).
While you're in public housing, you are responsible for providing updated income information to your local HA. Generally, you can stay in public housing as long as you comply with your lease. However, if your income increases to the point that the HA determines you can afford housing on the private market, you may have to leave.
In some situations, such as if you don't have much rental history, you may be required to pay a security deposit. Your HA representative will let you know if a deposit is required. When you leave public housing, your deposit will be returned to you with interest provided your unit isn't damaged.
2. Getting a Housing Choice Voucher
2-1. Evaluate the eligibility requirements.
Your local housing authority (HA) determines your eligibility based on your gross household income (income before taxes), citizenship or immigration status, and other factors. The specific requirements for the Housing Choice Voucher Program vary depending on where you live and the demand for the program in the area.
Generally, you cannot have income more than 50 percent of the median income for the county or metropolitan area where you live. Median income amounts are adjusted every year.
The HUD office nearest you can also help you understand eligibility requirements in your city or county. Visit https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/field_policy_mgt/localoffices to locate the office nearest you.
2-2. Contact your local HA to apply for a voucher.
Visit https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/public_indian_housing/pha/contacts and click on your state to get contact information for your local HA. An HA representative will let you know what you need to do to apply for a Housing Choice voucher.
In some metropolitan areas, HAs may not be accepting applications for Housing Choice vouchers if the waiting lists are too extensive. If applications are closed, the HA representative can help connect you to other resources for help with affordable housing.
2-3. Wait for notification from the HA.
When your application comes up, the HA will contact you to provide information about the voucher payment you'll receive to help with your rent. Because demand far outstrips HA resources, particularly in urban areas, you may have to wait months, if not years, to get a voucher.
While you're waiting, keep the HA updated if any of the information you provided on your original application changes.
2-4. Find a housing unit that meets the criteria of the voucher program.
Landlords who accept vouchers must offer units that meet HUD health and safety standards. The landlord is also required to provide various services, which will be explained up front. In most areas, you can search on any rental website for properties that accept vouchers.
Your HA may also have information about approved landlords who have units available. Unlike public housing, you will not be assigned a unit – it's up to you to find appropriate housing.
2-5. Take your lease to the HA for approval.
To use your voucher to pay for all or part of your rent, the rent itself must be reasonable. You are eligible for a unit with a maximum number of bedrooms, determined by your household size.
For example, if you have a household of 2, you may only be eligible for a single-bedroom apartment. If you wanted to rent a 2-bedroom apartment, you wouldn't be able to use your voucher to help pay for it.
Your local HA will also inspect the specific unit you're going to rent before it approves your lease. Your landlord may have to make repairs or upgrades before you can move in.
3. Finding Privately-Owned Subsidized Housing
3-1. Search for low-income housing in your area.
You can use apartment listing sites online to search for privately-owned low-income housing. Most listing sites allow you to filter your search results to return only low-income properties.
Some properties that accept Housing Choice vouchers may also offer assistance for low-income families who do not have vouchers.
Your local public housing authority may also have information or listings of privately-owned subsidized housing available in your area.
3-2. Evaluate the eligibility criteria.
Privately-owned subsidized housing typically has less strict standards than public programs, so you may qualify for privately-owned subsidized housing even if you don't qualify for public housing. However, privately-owned subsidized housing may have restrictions that public housing does not.
For example, privately-owned subsidized housing may only be available if you are working full time, not if you are working part-time or going to school.
Because eligibility criteria are set by the owners of the property, they may vary from property to property. For example, you may qualify to rent in one complex, but not qualify in the complex across the street.
3-3. Fill out a rental application at the complex of your choosing.
The application process for privately-owned subsidized housing is similar to renting any apartment from a private landlord. However, you may have to provide additional documents to prove your income and employment.
The application process depends on the particular landlord. You may be subject to a credit check or criminal background check.
Privately-owned subsidized housing is not subject to any government inspections or quality controls. Ask to see the specific unit you'll be moving into, rather than just a model. If there are any problems with the unit, insist that the landlord fixes them before you move in.
3-4. Sign a lease with your landlord for an available unit.
One benefit of applying for privately-owned subsidized housing over public housing is that landlords typically only take applications if they have an open unit ready for you to move into. So assuming your application is accepted, you can typically sign your lease and move into your unit right away.
Privately-owned subsidized housing leases are not subject to government approval. Read through your lease carefully and make sure you understand all of the provisions. If you don't understand something, ask the landlord to explain it to you.
If you have any doubts or misgivings about the lease, take the time to have a lawyer look over it. Volunteer lawyers at nonprofit tenant associations can look over your lease for you before you sign it.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Applying for Public Housing\\n1-1. Confirm your eligibility for public housing.\\nWhile some areas may have specific local requirements, the basic eligibility criteria for public housing are established by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Generally, at least one member of your family must have legal status, your family cannot have outstanding consumer debt obligations that are more than 60 percent of your income, and all adult family members must be able to pass a criminal background check.\\nBecause public housing is available for low-income families, income eligibility is set each year based on the median income in your area. You're considered extremely low income if you make 30 percent of the median, very low income if you make 50 percent of the median, and low income if you make 80 percent of the median. Your local housing authority can provide you with specifics for your area.\\nYour application will be given preference if the head of your household is in college or working at least 20 hours a week at federal minimum wage. If the head of your household is disabled or over the age of 62, your application will also be given preference. Because many areas have long waiting lists for public housing, this preference is very valuable.\\n1-2. Contact your local housing authority (HA).\\nLocal HAs are responsible for managing and operating the public housing program in your area. Some HAs allow you to apply online, but most of them require you to make an appointment and meet with an HA representative in person.\\nTo find your local housing authority, go to https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/public_indian_housing/pha/contacts and click on your state on the map.\\nCall ahead and ask what you need to do to apply for public housing. The representative you speak to will let you know the exact process in your area.\\n1-3. Complete your written application.\\nOn your application, provide information about everyone in your household, including yourself. The application may also ask for an estimate of your household income from all sources. You may need to provide employment information as well.\\nIn most areas, you have the option of either turning in your application to your local HA in person or mailing it in. Your application will likely be processed more quickly if you take it into the HA in person. Call ahead and find out if you need to make an appointment.\\n1-4. Gather documents to support your application.\\nOnce you've filed your initial application, an HA representative will contact you and let you know what documents are needed. You will likely need to make an appointment to bring these documents into the HA office. The specific documents you need will vary depending on your circumstances. However, you can expect to need documents such as:\\nBirth certificates;\\nTax returns;\\nMarriage certificates or divorce decrees;\\nVerification from your employer;\\nProof of citizenship or legal residency;\\nBank statements; and\\nPay stubs.\\n1-5. Wait for written notification of the housing authority's decision.\\nThe HA representative reviews your application and supporting documents to decide if you are eligible for public housing. HUD requires your local HA to send you written notice of the decision.\\nIf the HA determines that you are ineligible, the notification will give you the reason why. You can request an informal hearing to challenge that decision. The notification will explain how to do this.\\nIf you are deemed eligible for public housing, you will be put on a waiting list. The HA will notify you when a unit is available with the correct number of bedrooms for your household size.\\n1-6. Sign your lease and pay your security deposit if required.\\nThe HA will notify you when a unit is available. You don't have to accept a unit offered to you. However, in most areas, you cannot choose a specific community where you want to live. When a unit opens up that you want to move into, you'll sign your lease with your local HA.\\nThe amount of rent you'll pay depends on your total family income less allowed deductions for dependents. Typically, your rent will be no more than 30 percent of this amount. Your HA may have a minimum rent. If 30 percent of your income is less than that minimum rent, you would pay the minimum (typically $25 or $50).\\nWhile you're in public housing, you are responsible for providing updated income information to your local HA. Generally, you can stay in public housing as long as you comply with your lease. However, if your income increases to the point that the HA determines you can afford housing on the private market, you may have to leave.\\nIn some situations, such as if you don't have much rental history, you may be required to pay a security deposit. Your HA representative will let you know if a deposit is required. When you leave public housing, your deposit will be returned to you with interest provided your unit isn't damaged.\\n2. Getting a Housing Choice Voucher\\n2-1. Evaluate the eligibility requirements.\\nYour local housing authority (HA) determines your eligibility based on your gross household income (income before taxes), citizenship or immigration status, and other factors. The specific requirements for the Housing Choice Voucher Program vary depending on where you live and the demand for the program in the area.\\nGenerally, you cannot have income more than 50 percent of the median income for the county or metropolitan area where you live. Median income amounts are adjusted every year.\\nThe HUD office nearest you can also help you understand eligibility requirements in your city or county. Visit https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/field_policy_mgt/localoffices to locate the office nearest you.\\n2-2. Contact your local HA to apply for a voucher.\\nVisit https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/public_indian_housing/pha/contacts and click on your state to get contact information for your local HA. An HA representative will let you know what you need to do to apply for a Housing Choice voucher.\\nIn some metropolitan areas, HAs may not be accepting applications for Housing Choice vouchers if the waiting lists are too extensive. If applications are closed, the HA representative can help connect you to other resources for help with affordable housing.\\n2-3. Wait for notification from the HA.\\nWhen your application comes up, the HA will contact you to provide information about the voucher payment you'll receive to help with your rent. Because demand far outstrips HA resources, particularly in urban areas, you may have to wait months, if not years, to get a voucher.\\nWhile you're waiting, keep the HA updated if any of the information you provided on your original application changes.\\n2-4. Find a housing unit that meets the criteria of the voucher program.\\nLandlords who accept vouchers must offer units that meet HUD health and safety standards. The landlord is also required to provide various services, which will be explained up front. In most areas, you can search on any rental website for properties that accept vouchers.\\nYour HA may also have information about approved landlords who have units available. Unlike public housing, you will not be assigned a unit – it's up to you to find appropriate housing.\\n2-5. Take your lease to the HA for approval.\\nTo use your voucher to pay for all or part of your rent, the rent itself must be reasonable. You are eligible for a unit with a maximum number of bedrooms, determined by your household size.\\nFor example, if you have a household of 2, you may only be eligible for a single-bedroom apartment. If you wanted to rent a 2-bedroom apartment, you wouldn't be able to use your voucher to help pay for it.\\nYour local HA will also inspect the specific unit you're going to rent before it approves your lease. Your landlord may have to make repairs or upgrades before you can move in.\\n3. Finding Privately-Owned Subsidized Housing\\n3-1. Search for low-income housing in your area.\\nYou can use apartment listing sites online to search for privately-owned low-income housing. Most listing sites allow you to filter your search results to return only low-income properties.\\nSome properties that accept Housing Choice vouchers may also offer assistance for low-income families who do not have vouchers.\\nYour local public housing authority may also have information or listings of privately-owned subsidized housing available in your area.\\n3-2.

2,196 | How to Apply for Maternity Leave | 1. Understanding Your Entitlement to Leave under the Family & Medical Leave Act
1-1. Determine your eligibility under the Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
The FMLA is a program mandated by federal law that provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of job-protected unpaid leave under certain circumstances. The FMLA allows employees to take leave due to pregnancy, childbirth, and/or the addition of a new child to their families. Employees must meet certain requirements in order to be eligible for leave under the FMLA, as follows:
Employees must have worked for their employers for the last 12 months.
Employees must have worked at least 1,250 hours in the period year to the date on which they need to begin taking leave.
Employees must work at a worksite with at least 50 employees. If the employer has less than 50 employees, it still must offer FMLA leave if it has at least 50 employees within a 75-mile radius of the workplace.
In many states, employers can require employees to use their accrued paid vacation and sick leave during their FMLA leave.
1-2. Give your employer written notice of your need to take leave under the FMLA.
Typically, you must give your employer 30 days of your intent to take leave under the FMLA. However, if an emergency or other circumstances occur that prevent you from giving 30 days notice, you must give your employer written notice of your need to take leave as quickly as possible.
Your written notice should specify that FMLA may cover your requested leave. You also need to give your employer a description of the condition that you believe entitles you to FMLA coverage.
Once you have given notice of FMLA leave, your employer must make a determination as to whether you are entitled to FMLA leave within five days.
Your employer must also provide you with information about your rights and responsibilities under the FMLA.
1-3. Provide your employer with any requested medical certification.
You must provide your employer with medical certification from your health-care provider, if requested, within 15 calendar days of the request. The certification must provide a complete and thorough description of the condition on which your leave request is based.
2. Determining Whether You Are Entitled to Leave Under a State Leave Program
2-1. Find out whether your state has an unpaid leave program.
Some states, like California, offer job-protected unpaid leave programs that are identical or similar to the FMLA. However, some of these programs go beyond the FMLA. Some programs, for example, might offer unpaid leave to employees who otherwise would be ineligible for leave due to the size of their employees.
Contact your state labor office for information about state leave programs. Since these programs vary from one state to the next, and may differ substantially from the FMLA, you will need to get specific information about whether you are entitled to leave under your state's program. You can find a list of state labor offices here.
Check with your employer to see what it requires for you to take leave under your state's program. Similar to the FMLA, your employer is likely to require you to give written notice of your intent to take leave, a description of the condition that is requiring you to take leave, and the date on which you expect your leave to begin and end. Your employer also may require you to provide medical certification.
2-2. Determine whether your state has a pregnancy-related disability program.
In some states, including California, Hawaii, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Puerto Rico, individuals are entitled to unpaid short-term disability leave based on their pregnancy. While the eligibility requirements for these programs may vary, one common requirement is that an individual must actually be disabled due to pregnancy, childbirth, or other related conditions. You can find information about each state's program by clicking on the relevant state's name.
The duration of leave under a state short-term disability program varies widely. For instance, California law provides up to four months of leave, whereas Hawaii only provides a “reasonable” amount of leave time.
The requirements to apply for leave under this type of state short-term disability program vary, as well. Typically, you must notify your employer, preferably in writing, of your intent to take leave under the program. You also need to advise your employer of the expected time and duration of your leave. Notice should be given at least 30 days in advance, or, if that is not possible, as quickly as possible.
2-3. Discover whether your state offers a paid family leave program.
Only four states offer paid maternity leave to employees. If you live in California, New Jersey, Rhode Island, or Washington, you may be entitled to paid leave to care for a new child or a pregnancy-related disability.
Eligibility requirements for these state programs will vary. Generally, you need to be caring for a new child or unable to work due a disability stemming from your pregnancy.
The duration of leave under such a program usually last four to six weeks to care for a new child, and 26 to 52 weeks if you have a pregnancy-related disability.
In order to apply for this type of leave, you generally must file a claim with the state agency that administers the program. You can find more information about these programs by clicking on the state in which you live: [California], [New Jersey], [Rhode Island], or [Washington].
3. Confirming Whether Your Employer Offers Maternity Leave Benefits
3-1. Contact your employer's human resources department for information about any maternity leave benefits that it offers.
You can also look in your employee handbook for information about your employer's policies. If your employer offers paid personal or medical leave to other employees, it also must offer leave to pregnant employees or employees who have become new parents.
3-2. Determine how much leave time you are entitled to under your company's policy.
Some companies offer extensive paid maternity leave to their employees. Other companies allow employees to use their paid vacation and sick days for maternity leave.
It is common for employees to combine employer-provided paid leave programs with federal or state government unpaid leave program to meet their maternity leave needs.
3-3. Look to your collective bargaining agreement for a family leave provision, if available.
If you work in an unionized workplace, there is a collective bargaining agreement that governs the relationship between employees and their employer. Contact your union representative to learn more about your rights under any applicable collective bargaining agreement.
Tips
Contact an employment law attorney if you have any questions about your entitlement to maternity leave benefits under federal or state law, or pursuant to your employer's company policies.

2,197 | How to Apply for Permanent Residence in Canada | 1. Confirming Your Eligibility
1-1. Apply for permanent residence if you want to stay in Canada indefinitely.
Permanent residence is a good option for students or temporary workers in Canada who want to stay in the country permanently. Permanent residence allows you to access basic social services in Canada like healthcare. It also makes it legal for you to live and work in the country.

1-2. Live in New Zealand under a resident visa for 2 years.
In most cases, you can’t gain permanent residency unless you’ve lived in New Zealand for at least 24 months under a residence visa. You might have your residence visa to work, study, or live with a partner who is a citizen or resident.
If you haven’t lived in New Zealand as a resident for 2 years, you may be eligible for another visa, such as a work visa or study visa. Although you won't have permanent residency, you'll be able to live in New Zealand under one of these visas.
1-3. Fulfill any conditions of your resident visa, if applicable.
A common condition of your visa is to keep it in a valid passport. However, you may have other conditions, as well. Go over your personal documents to see if you have any unmet conditions of your resident visa.
For example, you might have a condition on your work visa that you can only work for a specific employer or in a specific trade. If you have a partnership visa, you may have a condition on your visa that you remain in your relationship.
You likely won’t have any special conditions on your visa. However, officials will want to make sure you followed all of the rules provided to you, such as not overstaying your visa or traveling outside the country without permission.
1-4. Show commitment to New Zealand in 1 of the 5 approved ways.
This shows immigration officials that you have a reason to be in the country. Here are the 5 ways you can show you’re committed to New Zealand:
You stayed in New Zealand for at least 184 days during each of the 2 years before you apply.
You have New Zealand tax residence status.
You’ve invested at least NZ$1,000,000 in New Zealand.
You’ve opened a business in New Zealand in the past year or purchased at least a 25% stake in an existing business.
You established New Zealand as your home by buying a home and maintaining employment for at least 9 months in the past 2 years.
1-5. Check for an exception if you were originally included on someone else's visa.
You are considered a non-principal applicant if you came to New Zealand under someone else's visa application. For example, you may have come to New Zealand on a partner's or parent's resident visa. If this is the case, you are usually required to gain permanent residency through their application. However, you may gain an exception if your situation meets one of the following criteria:
You can prove you separated from or divorced the principal applicant.
You’ve gotten a protection order against the principal applicant.
The principal applicant was convicted of an offence against you or your dependent.
The principal applicant has died.
The principal applicant has become a New Zealand citizen.
2. Completing Your Permanent Residency Application
2-1. Fill out an Application from a Resident or Former Resident Visa Holder.
This form is used to apply for permanent residency, an additional residence visa, or travel variations. Write in English, printing clearly. Use all capital letters when writing out names and words.
In most cases, you'll need to mail your form or deliver it in person. You'll be assigned a receiving office based on your country of origin and where you currently live. If you live in a certain area, such as the United States, you may also be able to submit your application online. You'll find out where your receiving office is when you enter your information on the application fee calculator.
You can find the application form here: https://www.immigration.govt.nz/documents/forms-and-guides/inz1175.pdf
2-2. Attach 2 portrait photos that meet the visa requirements.
Your application must include 2 photos of you taken within the past 6 months. Take your photos in front of a plain, light colored background that isn’t white. Wear plain clothes, and look directly at the camera. Although you can have a friend take the photos, immigration officials prefer professional photographs.
If you’re sending in a paper application, your photo must be 35 millimetres (1.4 in) wide by 45 millimetres (1.8 in) high.
If you're able to apply online, your picture’s file size should be between 500KB and 3MB. The dimensions must be between 900 x 1200 pixels or 2250 x 3000 pixels.
Your photo can’t be a selfie.
2-3. Provide your personal information.
You’ll list your title, name, birthdate, sex, and partnership status. Then, explain where you were born, list your passport information, and indicate if you were the principal applicant on your original residence application.
If your partner is a citizen, you’ll indicate that on this section of the application.
2-4. List your contact details.
This includes your address, phone number, fax, and email. In this section, you'll be asked to check a box indicating if you received advice while filling out the form. You can also choose to designate someone to act in your place, such as an adviser or friend, in this section.
If you don’t have an address or phone number where you can be contacted, you can provide someone else’s information that immigration officials can use to find you. You may designate this person to act on your behalf, as well.
2-5. Include your partner and dependents' information and photos, if applicable.
You can only include your partner and dependents if they were on your original residence visa. Provide each person’s name, date of birth, passport information, and relationship to you. Then, attach 2 passport-style portraits of each family member.
Follow the same photo guidelines as those listed above.
If you have immediate family members that aren’t included in this application, you just need to list them. This includes your partner, children, siblings, and parents. Provide their name, birthdate, current country of residence, nationality, and relationship to you.
2-6. Check the appropriate boxes indicating you meet the eligibility requirements.
Section D of the application asks you to verify that you meet the basic qualifications to be a permanent resident. If you’ve had a residence visa for at least 24 months, you’ll indicate how you’ve shown your commitment to New Zealand. Then, check “yes” that you have met the conditions and requirements of your visa.
You will need to provide evidence of your commitment to New Zealand unless the relevant records are government records. You don't need to prove that you live in New Zealand or have tax residence status, as this is public record. However, submit your investment records to show you've invested in New Zealand or your business records to show you're a business owner. If you've set up a home base in New Zealand, submit your house deed and your employment records.
2-7. Select what type of travel variations you want if you don’t get permanent residency.
The same form is used for both permanent residency and travel variations that allow you to travel out of New Zealand and return. If you aren’t eligible for permanent residency, you might still receive additional travel variations, which expand your freedoms as a resident. Select the type of travel variations that would help you.
You can ask for a 1-year travel variation, a 2-year travel variation, or a 14-day travel variation. This allows you to leave New Zealand for this period of time and then return under your current visa.
2-8. Complete a character declaration for each person on the application.
This includes yourself and anyone you included under your partner and dependents section. If you answer yes to any questions, provide full details about what happened in the space provided or on an extra sheet of paper that you'll attach to the application. Check "yes" or "no" if you or your family members have:
Been investigated for a crime.
Been convicted of a crime.
Been sentenced to jail or detention.
Been put on probation.
Been required to leave a country.
Been refused entry to a country.
Been refused a visa.
Participated in a terrorist organization.
Participated in the illicit drug trade.
Participated in a criminal organization.
Participated in a hate group.
2-9. Verify that everything in your application is true and correct.
Sign and date your application indicating that you are being truthful. Your signature also allows immigration officials to access your records and check that your application information is correct.
If you included a partner on your application, they'll need to sign and date it, as well.
Dependent children who are under the age of 18 do not need to sign the application. However, dependent children who are over the age of 18 and are included on your application for a resident visa must sign and date the application.
2-10. Give information about your adviser or assistant, if you had one.
You must indicate if you had someone help you with your application, such as an immigration adviser or friend. Provide this person’s name and information. For an immigration adviser, you’ll need to give their license number or their exemption criteria, if they don’t have a license. If you received assistance from anyone else, they’ll need to sign their name verifying that they helped you.
For example, you might have worked with a translator or someone who helps you keep up with your paperwork. That person needs to sign your application on the appropriate line.
2-11. Determine your application fees using a fee calculator.
The amount of your fees will depend on your nationality and country of residence. You can pay your fees using a credit card, personal check, or cash.
For example, a United States citizen who is currently living in New Zealand would pay NZ$210 as an application fee.
Don’t send cash through the mail, as it could get lost or stolen during transit.
You cannot pay your fees with a money order.
You can calculate your fee here: https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/tools-and-information/tools/office-and-fees-finder
2-12. Mail or deliver your application and payment to your assigned receiving center.
Your receiving center will be assigned to you based on your nationality and where you currently live. You'll receive this information from the fee calculator. You can choose to mail in your application or deliver it in person. If you mail the application, you’ll be charged a service fee and a courier fee.
As an example, a United States resident who is mailing their application would pay a USD$37 service fee and a USD$30-60 courier fee on top of their application fee.
In some areas, you can submit your application online. It depends on where you live. If you can submit your application online, you’ll receive that information along with the physical address for your designated processing center.
3. Qualifying for Direct Permanent Residency
3-1. Use a points calculator to determine if you qualify as a skilled worker.
If you have at least 100 points, send an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the New Zealand government. Immigration officials will review your form. If you may qualify for residency, they'll send you an application form to fill out and send back to them.
Points are granted based on your age, skill level, and job opportunities. At a minimum, you are required to be under 55 years of age, speak fluent English, and have a job or job offer. You’ll gain additional points for having job qualifications, like a professional degree, and prior work experience. You’ll receive extra points if you plan to work outside Auckland, you make at least twice the median income, or you have a skill that’s in short supply.
You can find the points calculator here: https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/tools-and-information/tools/points-indicator-smc-28aug

3-2. Apply for residence based on partnership if your partner is a citizen.
You may qualify for residence after you've been in a relationship with a New Zealand citizen for at least 12 months and you're living together at the time you apply. Your partner will need to submit a Form INZ 1178 Partnership Support Form for Residence on your behalf. Immigration officials will review your applications and ask for materials that show your relationship is real.
You'll likely need to prove your relationship by providing photos of you two together, as well as documentation of your relationship timeline. This might include items like cards, letters, and text messages. Immigration officials might also ask to see mail sent to both of you at the same address, evidence of shared bills, or bank statements from a shared account.
Additionally, you may be able to submit letters from friends and relatives who are willing to state on record that they've observed you and your partner behaving as a couple. These friends and relatives should have a close relationship with you and your partner, but they don't need to be New Zealand residents or citizens.
If you and your partner can’t prove you’ve been together long enough, you can still get a visa to live in New Zealand. You may be able to get a partnership visa, work visa, or study visa. It will just take you longer to attain residency status.
You can find form INZ 1178 here: https://www.immigration.govt.nz/documents/forms-and-guides/inz1178.pdf
3-3. Apply for asylum if you’re a refugee and currently in New Zealand.
You can apply in person or in writing. Then, submit a written statement and attend your asylum interview. The Refugee Status Branch will provide you a report about your claim and interview, which you can correct if needed. Then, you'll get one more opportunity to file support for your claim before a final decision is made.
The Refugee Status Branch will base their decision on your application, statement, and interview. If you’re approved for asylum, you can go directly to permanent residency. However, you may be deported if your application is rejected. You must show a reason why you are afraid of returning to your home country.
You can find an application in your native language here: https://www.immigration.govt.nz/audiences/supporting-refugees-and-asylum-seekers/asylum-seekers
You can send your application to the following address: Refugee Status Branch PO Box 90533 Victoria Street Auckland 1142, DX: CX10074

2,199 | How to Apply for Public Assistance | 1. Proving Your Need
1-1. Identify your needs.
Public assistance programs exist to assist with food, housing, medical care, and heat. Also, general cash assistance is available for people with children or for people who are disabled. Identify your current needs.
1-2. Gather financial information.
Before applying for a grant, be sure to document your financial situation, to show that you are truly needy. Gather income tax forms, pay stubs, and social security payment information. Whenever applying to a program, you should also have bank statements and information about the current value of life insurance, retirement accounts, and stocks or bonds.
Always keep the originals and send copies. If you send the original and it is lost, you will then have to get original copies again.
Also be sure to have proper personal identification documentation, such as a driver’s license or ID card, as well as your Social Security number.
1-3. Document any disability.
Some funds are given for specific disabilities or other qualifying characteristic. Have copies of your medical records made and safely secure them along with your financial information.
1-4. Compile a list of expenses.
In addition to showing that your income is low, you should document your expenses. Standard expenses include housing costs (rent or mortgage payment) as well as utility bills (electric, heat, water, etc.)
Also keep records of health care expenses (hospital bills, payments for subscription medicines) as well as money spent on health insurance premiums.
1-5. Document any disaster.
If you are seeking relief from a disaster, such as a hurricane, tornado, or house fire, document the destruction to your home.
Taking pictures or video is best. At the least, go through each room and list everything that has been destroyed.
Save receipts when you buy anything that replaces something that has been destroyed.
2. Getting Food Assistance
2-1. Apply for SNAP food stamps.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is a federal program, commonly referred to as “food stamps.” The program is administered by your state or local agency.
Contact your state Department of Human Services for information on how to apply as well as for a detailed list of eligibility requirements. Typically, you will need your monthly gross income to fall below a guideline maximum.
When determining eligibility, states will also consider your expenses, as well as the number of people living and eating together.
For detailed information on requirements and income thresholds, visit wikiHow’s How to Apply for Food Stamps in the US.
States often have a SNAP Eligibility Calculator to use. You input information on household income and assets, as well as household expenses. As an example, Illinois’s calculator is here.
2-2. Get emergency food assistance.
The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) provides supplement food assistance in the form of groceries and meals. The food is principally distributed to local food banks, some of whom then pass the food along to soup kitchens and hunger relief centers.
For a partial listing of food pantries by state, visit this website and click on your state. You can then call the food pantry or stop in if you have questions.
2-3. Use the Commodity Supplemental Food Program.
The United States Department of Agriculture offers food items to vulnerable populations: seniors over age 60, infants, and children under 6 years of age. Also mothers up to 1 year after giving birth are eligible.
Over 500,000 people receive food from this program, which is provided at no cost.
Food items include cheese and dairy products, canned fruits and vegetables, canned fish and other meats, breakfast cereals, fruit juices, and rice and macaroni.
Qualifying criteria vary by state. You should contact your state social services or Department of Human Services for more information.
3. Obtaining Housing Assistance
3-1. Look into assistance from HUD.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) runs federal programs and helps building owners offer apartments at a reduced rent. To search for a low-rent apartment, visit this website and search by state.
HUD also runs a voucher program through local public housing agencies called Section 8. With a Section 8 voucher, you can find your own housing and then use the voucher to partially subsidize the cost of rent. You should visit this web portal and click on your state.
Section 8 eligibility depends on income and family size. Generally, a family may not have an income that exceeds 50% of the median income for the county or metropolitan area where the recipient chooses to live.
3-2. Find a state or local agency.
On the HUD webpage is a list of states (here). Click on your state and find any state agencies that provide rental or mortgage payment assistance.
Cities may also offer programs. Chicago, for example, offers an emergency rental assistance program for those who are suffering financial hardship because of job loss, fire, or illness.
3-3. Find private assistance.
Many private charities offer assistance with rent. You can search for them on the web, or look in your Yellow Pages to see if an office is nearby.
Salvation Army. The Salvation Army offers money paid to landlords, utility bill assistance, food, clothing, emergency housing, spiritual counseling, and many other services. They are also a good "place to start” whenever a need for help arises. Their toll free contact number is 1-800-728-7825.
United Way. They offer many of the same types of assistance programs that are listed above. They also have a national network of community assistance and other emergency services agencies. You can call their help number at 2-1-1.
Check if there is any local assistance as well. In a browser, type your town and “housing assistance.” Or visit your county courthouse clerk’s office and look at the community board. They are a great resource for providing you information on local and statewide assistance programs of all types.
4. Receiving Help with Utilities
4-1. Look into LIHEAP.
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program is a block grant made to the states. Applicants then apply to their state for assistance in paying for the heat in their homes. The state agency will disburse funds to either the utility or to the applicant directly.
Generally, you must have an income less than 150% of the federal poverty level to be eligible. Currently, those limits are $ 17,655 for an individual, and $23,895 for a family of 2.
To find out where to apply, type “LIHEAP” and your city into a web browser. You can also visit this webpage and click on your state.
4-2. Visit your state HUD website.
These websites often contain links to various state programs that will help with utility bills.
4-3. Contact the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army partners with different organizations to provide assistance programs in various states. They may also be aware of other organizations that provide utility assistance.
For example, the Salvation Army operates a “Heat Share” program, which uses privately-raised funds to help low income families with assistance paying heating or cooling bills.This program is available in Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Missouri, and South Dakota.
4-4. Check the back of your utility bills.
In most states, utility providers are required by law to list on every bill contact information for local assistance groups, watchdog organizations to police unfair practices, and other helpful topics as they relate to that specific company and service.
Call the number provided or visit any website listed.
5. Getting Medical Services
5-1. Sign up for Medicaid.
Medicaid is a healthcare program for individuals and families with low incomes which is jointly funded by the federal and state governments. Qualifications vary by state. In many states, those with incomes below 138% of the federal poverty line are eligible. In other states, eligibility is much more restricted and reserved for pregnant women, people with disabilities, and some low-income families.
To check if you qualify for Medicaid, you should contact your state’s Department of Human Services.
5-2. Register for disability benefits.
The federal Social Security Administration pays benefits to adults and children suffering from a long-term disability. The law states that the disability must be one that prevents you from working for a year or that will result in death.
For information on how to register, see wikiHow’s How to Get Social Security Disability.
5-3. Check your phone book for "Free Clinic."
Every state and most counties should have free medical clinics. Most offer medical, dental, and legal services at little to no cost to their patients and/or customers. They also have good local contacts for additional assistance programs.
6. Applying for Cash Assistance
6-1. Look into TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families).
TANF is a federal program that helps pregnant women and families with at least one dependent child access cash and benefits.
A person who gets TANF may also receive medical assistance and SNAP benefits.
Applicants must have a monthly income below a certain threshold set by the state. In 28 states and the District of Columbia, for example, a mother of 2 children cannot make more than $795 a month.
There are also limitations on the amount of assets you can own. About half of all states require that an applicant have assets valued at no more than $2,000.
For more information about the eligibility requirements of your state, contact your local Department of Human Services office.
6-2. Apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
SSI is a federal program that makes payments to those who have low income and few resources and who are 65 or older, blind, or disabled. It provides cash to meet basic housing, food, and clothing needs.
To be eligible, you must have a low income and few resources. The income limit is $733 a month for an individual and $1,100 a month for a couple. Generally, you may qualify if you have resources under $2,000 (if an individual) or $3,000 (as a couple).
If your income and resources are near these limits, you should contact SSI. The agency uses complicated rules to exclude some income and assets from their calculations, so you may still qualify even if you think you are over the limit.
To apply, call 1-800-772-1213 and make an appointment. You cannot apply for SSI online.
6-3. Ask about state programs.
Contact your state Department of Human Services and ask if there are programs that provide cash assistance.
7. Filing for Unemployment Benefits
7-1. Determine if you are eligible for benefits.
Unemployment benefits are cash benefits to eligible workers made possible through a joint program between state and federal governments.
Generally speaking, the unemployment insurance program provides you with temporary financial assistance if you became unemployed through no fault of your own. For example, if you were fired because you violated your employer's attendance policy by coming into work an hour late three days in a row, you would not be eligible for unemployment benefits.
The federal government provides minimum guidelines for unemployment insurance benefits. However, each state may set additional eligibility requirements and amounts of benefits available, as well as how long you may continue to receive benefits and what you must do to remain eligible.
7-2. Contact your state's unemployment insurance program.
You should contact the appropriate office in your state as soon as possible after you lose your job.
Find out if you must apply in person or if you can apply online, through the mail, or over the phone.
You also should find out the specific requirements for eligibility in your state and what documents you will need to prove your eligibility.
7-3. Gather necessary information.
Before you go to apply for unemployment benefits, make sure you have all documents and other information you will need to fill out the application.
You must have proof of where you worked and how much money you made, as well as the reason you lost your job. Generally you must be able to prove that you lost your job through no fault of your own. Your employer typically will provide you a form indicating that you are eligible for unemployment benefits.
You will be asked for certain information, such as the dates you were employed and the address and phone number of your former employer. If you don't know this information off the top of your head, you should find it out and write it down before you start filling out your application.
7-4. File your claim.
Once you have all the documents and information you will need to complete your application, you're ready to fill out your application and file your claim for unemployment benefits.
Answer all questions on the application as completely and accurately as possible. The information on your application will be used to determine how much money you will receive, and for how long.
7-5. Wait to receive benefits.
Generally, you will have to wait two to three weeks to receive your first check for unemployment benefits. Some states also have imposed a minimum one-week waiting period.
Tips
There are literally thousands of organizations (city, state, and federal), agencies, churches, etc. standing ready to help people when needed. Do not be too proud to reach out.
If you need help, you should contact any program regardless of what the income requirements are. Often, government programs have complicated ways of calculating income, so you could qualify even if you think you don’t.
Warnings
Be honest when filling out forms, communicating issues, etc. You will be immediately disqualified and become ineligible for future help if you are not honest.

The income limit is $733 a month for an individual and $1,100 a month for a couple. Generally, you may qualify if you have resources under $2,000 (if an individual) or $3,000 (as a couple).\\nIf your income and resources are near these limits, you should contact SSI. The agency uses complicated rules to exclude some income and assets from their calculations, so you may still qualify even if you think you are over the limit.\\nTo apply, call 1-800-772-1213 and make an appointment. You cannot apply for SSI online.\\n6-3. Ask about state programs.\\nContact your state Department of Human Services and ask if there are programs that provide cash assistance.\\n7.

Determine if you are eligible for benefits.\\nUnemployment benefits are cash benefits to eligible workers made possible through a joint program between state and federal governments.\\nGenerally speaking, the unemployment insurance program provides you with temporary financial assistance if you became unemployed through no fault of your own. For example, if you were fired because you violated your employer's attendance policy by coming into work an hour late three days in a row, you would not be eligible for unemployment benefits.\\nThe federal government provides minimum guidelines for unemployment insurance benefits. However, each state may set additional eligibility requirements and amounts of benefits available, as well as how long you may continue to receive benefits and what you must do to remain eligible.\\n7-2. Contact your state's unemployment insurance program.\\nYou should contact the appropriate office in your state as soon as possible after you lose your job.\\nFind out if you must apply in person or if you can apply online, through the mail, or over the phone.\\nYou also should find out the specific requirements for eligibility in your state and what documents you will need to prove your eligibility.\\n7-3. Gather necessary information.\\nBefore you go to apply for unemployment benefits, make sure you have all documents and other information you will need to fill out the application.\\nYou must have proof of where you worked and how much money you made, as well as the reason you lost your job. Generally you must be able to prove that you lost your job through no fault of your own. Your employer typically will provide you a form indicating that you are eligible for unemployment benefits.\\nYou will be asked for certain information, such as the dates you were employed and the address and phone number of your former employer. If you don't know this information off the top of your head, you should find it out and write it down before you start filling out your application.\\n7-4. File your claim.\\nOnce you have all the documents and information you will need to complete your application, you're ready to fill out your application and file your claim for unemployment benefits.\\nAnswer all questions on the application as completely and accurately as possible. The information on your application will be used to determine how much money you will receive, and for how long.\\n7-5. Wait to receive benefits.\\nGenerally, you will have to wait two to three weeks to receive your first check for unemployment benefits. Some states also have imposed a minimum one-week waiting period.\\nTips\\nThere are literally thousands of organizations (city, state, and federal), agencies, churches, etc. standing ready to help people when needed. Do not be too proud to reach out.\\nIf you need help, you should contact any program regardless of what the income requirements are. Often, government programs have complicated ways of calculating income, so you could qualify even if you think you don’t.\\nWarnings\\nBe honest when filling out forms, communicating issues, etc. You will be immediately disqualified and become ineligible for future help if you are not honest.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Various forms of public assistance are available for people struggling to meet basic needs.

2,200 | How to Apply for Scholarships | 1. When should you start applying for scholarships?
Apply as early as possible.
Ideally, you should start researching scholarships during the summer between your junior and senior year of high school. That's because you have to apply for some scholarships as much as a year before college begins. However, it's never too late—you can even apply for some scholarships after you're already in college. Just check the deadline information to be sure.
Make sure to use a calendar or a spreadsheet to keep track of all the due dates so you don't accidentally miss one!
2. Where do I look for scholarships?
2-1. Start by checking with the colleges you're considering.
Even if you haven't started applying yet, it's still a good idea to see what each school offers. Scholarships will often be listed in the financial aid section of your application packet, but you also may be able to find information on the school's website or by contacting their financial aid office.
2-2. Check with your guidance counselor or local library.
These are both great resources for all kinds of scholarships—in addition to information about school-based, federal, and state scholarships, you might also find out about scholarships offered by local organizations or companies that you wouldn't have heard about otherwise.
If you're a member of a religious community, check with your church, temple, or synagogue to see if they offer any scholarships.
2-3. Use an online scholarship search.
There are tons of sites that offer scholarship searches. To keep from getting overwhelmed, start with 1 or 2 of the most popular free search sites, like Career One Stop, which is sponsored by the US Department of Labor. Other popular databases include FastWeb and Scholarships.com.
Scholarship information is available publicly, so you don't need pay a website to give you these search results.
3. How do you qualify for scholarships?
That depends on what the scholarship is for.
Some scholarships are offered by an institution and they're only for students at that school who meet a certain GPA. Others are offered to students who live in a certain state or students of a particular ethnicity; who are majoring in a specific field; or who participate in athletics. Some scholarships have even narrower requirements—one of your parents might need to work at a certain company, for instance, or you might need to be of a particular ethnicity.
To get the highly-competitive Coca-Cola Scholars Program Scholarship, for instance, you need a GPA of at least 3.0, and you have to demonstrate outstanding character and leadership.
Try looking for scholarships based on the career you want. For instance, if you want to be a nurse, you might apply for the A Nurse I Am scholarship, the Scarlett Family Foundation scholarship, and many more.
If you're crafty, go for the Stuck at Prom scholarship—to win this one, you have to make and wear your prom outfit entirely out of Duck tape.
4. What scholarships should I apply for?
Start by applying to just a few scholarships that fit your interests.
Because there are so many scholarships out there, it can seem overwhelming at first. Focus on finding scholarships that you feel like you're a really good fit for. Then, gradually expand your search to scholarships that you qualify for, but maybe aren't as confident about.
Remember—you don't always have to be a perfect candidate for a scholarship as long as you meet the basic requirements. You might very well be the best fit out of all of the applicants!
Also, keep in mind that the more scholarships you apply to, the better your chances of getting one.
5. What information do I need to apply for a scholarship?
You'll usually need your transcript and basic info about yourself.
For instance, you'll probably need to include things like your date of birth, where you plan to go to school, and what you want to do after you graduate. Many scholarships will require you to provide references and write an essay, as well. However, every scholarship will have its own set of requirements, so be sure to read the application closely so you don't miss anything.
Some scholarships will require you to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) before you can be eligible, so have that information on hand, as well. The FAFSA determines how much help you'll need to pay for college based on your parents' incomes (or yours if you're an adult).
6. How do I write a scholarship essay?
Use your essay to show how you stand out.
If your scholarship application calls for an essay, don't see it as an obstacle—this is your moment to shine! Read the essay prompt carefully, then share a personal story that demonstrates why you're a great candidate.
For instance, if you have to tell a story about overcoming a challenge, paint the scene with vivid detail—talk about how you felt as you faced the problem, a little background to explain why it was such a big deal for you, and how you summoned the strength and courage to succeed.
Try to find ways to relate to the organization's mission statement. For instance, if you're applying to a faith-based school, you might mention how your belief in God helped you during a hard time.
7. How do I get letters of recommendation for a scholarship?
Ask
It's really helpful to give them an idea of what you'd like them to include in their letter—maybe you worked really hard on a project for them, for instance, or you'd like them to mention that you worked after school while maintaining a strong GPA. Then, follow up with them to make sure you get the references back in time for your scholarship deadline.
Be sure to ask several weeks before the application deadline so they'll have plenty of time to finish your letter.
You can usually reuse your references if you're applying for more than one scholarship.
8. What are the different types of scholarships?
Scholarships can be merit-based or need-based.
Merit-based scholarships mean you have to meet some requirement—like having a certain GPA, playing a sport, or having a particular interest. You can find scholarships for almost everything, from playing a certain musical instrument to being a twin. That means it can take a lot of searching to find the exact scholarship that suits you, but if you're persistent, you can almost certainly find something!
Need-based scholarships are only granted to students who are facing financial hardship. These are often called "grants."
9. How can you improve your chances of getting a scholarship?
9-1. Focus on academics and extracurriculars while you're in school.
You're most likely to win a scholarship if you were a good student, active in your school and community, and demonstrated leadership throughout your school years. Also, get really clear on what you want to do after school—if you have very specific goals, a scholarship committee might be more likely to see you as a good investment.
9-2. Try applying to smaller and local scholarships.
It can be tempting to only apply to scholarships that offer a large amount of money, but remember that you'll also have to compete with more people for those. On the other hand, if you get several smaller scholarships, those can add up quickly—and they might have less applicants, so you may have a better chance of winning!
Similarly, you might be one of only a few candidates when you apply to scholarships that are only available to students who live in your city or state.
9-3. Organize your application process.
As you search for scholarships, save all of the scholarships you're considering to a spreadsheet. Include the deadline and anything you need to include in your application. When you're more organized, you'll be less likely to miss out on an opportunity because you got your application in late.
It can help to dedicate a few hours each week solely to finding and applying for scholarships.
10. Are scholarships for all 4 years?
Some are, but not all of them.
Some scholarships, especially the ones offered by an institution or a large organization, might be enough to cover all 4 years of your college education. However, some scholarships will only be for a few hundred dollars. Don't pass those up, though—even small amounts can really add up once you start looking at tuition!

How do you qualify for scholarships?\\nThat depends on what the scholarship is for.\\nSome scholarships are offered by an institution and they're only for students at that school who meet a certain GPA. Others are offered to students who live in a certain state or students of a particular ethnicity; who are majoring in a specific field; or who participate in athletics. Some scholarships have even narrower requirements—one of your parents might need to work at a certain company, for instance, or you might need to be of a particular ethnicity.\\nTo get the highly-competitive Coca-Cola Scholars Program Scholarship, for instance, you need a GPA of at least 3.0, and you have to demonstrate outstanding character and leadership.\\nTry looking for scholarships based on the career you want.

Then, follow up with them to make sure you get the references back in time for your scholarship deadline.\\nBe sure to ask several weeks before the application deadline so they'll have plenty of time to finish your letter.\\nYou can usually reuse your references if you're applying for more than one scholarship.\\n8.

You can find scholarships for almost everything, from playing a certain musical instrument to being a twin. That means it can take a lot of searching to find the exact scholarship that suits you, but if you're persistent, you can almost certainly find something!\\nNeed-based scholarships are only granted to students who are facing financial hardship. These are often called \\\"grants.\\\"\\n9. How can you improve your chances of getting a scholarship?\\n9-1.

2,201 | How to Apply for Section 8 Housing | 1. Applying for Section 8 Housing
1-1. Understand how Section 8 housing works.
Housing choice vouchers are administered by local public housing authorities (PHA), of which there are several around the nation. Vouchers come as either project-based or tenant-based — see below for more details. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) supports PHAs, and your local PHA will help you arrange Section 8 housing.
Under a tenant-based voucher, a tenant gets a voucher and can move into a unit with financial assistance. If that tenant chooses to move to another unit, the voucher carries over to the next unit, offering continued assistance to the tenant wherever they decide to live.
Under a project-based voucher, a tenant gets assistance so long as they remain in the unit that the voucher was issued for. The voucher lasts for a specified unit and time. If the family chooses to leave the unit, the assistance does not carry over to the next unit. A family may still, however, be eligible for a tenant-based voucher.
1-2. Determine your eligibility.
Whether or not you qualify for Section 8 housing is based on multiple factors, including your family's income, the median income in your area, how much rent you're paying, your assets, and the composition of your family. Here's a general breakdown of the eligibility requirements:
You are a US citizen or non-citizen who has eligible immigration status.
You earn, as a family, less than 50% of the median income for the county or city in which you choose to live. In fact, most Section 8 recipients earn closer to 30% of the median income for the county or metro area in which they choose to live. That's because the PHA must provide 75% of its vouchers to families who earn less than 30% of the median income.
You meet other criteria based on assets and family composition.
1-3. Document your income and housing costs.
Have pay stubs from your employer verifying your salary, and either your mortgage information or something in writing from your property owner that confirms your current rent. You'll need these documents to apply for vouchers.
1-4. Know what kind of voucher you need.
HUD provides assistance to both renters and homeowners. Apply for a tenant voucher if you rent the premises where you’re living. Complete a property voucher application if you would like financial assistance with paying a mortgage for a condominium, townhouse or home that you own. In some cases, Section 8 vouchers can be used to purchase a modest home and make mortgage payments.
1-5. Apply for vouchers.
Contact your local PHA to begin the application process. Find a list of PHAs here. Ask if it's possible to complete the forms online.
Get assistance with completing the necessary paperwork if you’re not fluent in English. Call your local public housing authority to find out their office hours so you can complete the paperwork in person. You should be able to schedule a time with someone who can translate or to help you complete the forms.
2. Enrolling in Section 8 Assistance
2-1. Be prepared for a long wait.
In many cases, people who apply for Section 8 are waitlisted. Your local PHA may have more applications than it can afford to approve vouchers for, and will therefore have a waiting list for applicants.
In some cases, there are as many as 100,000 applicants for only 10,000 spots. It can take upwards of 3 to 6 years in these areas to be enrolled in Section 8 while on the waiting list.
Be aware of prioritizing. PHAs develop local preferences for moving applications up or down the waiting list, and may give preference to families who are currently homeless or living in substandard housing, families who pay more than 50% of their income in rent, or families who are involuntarily displaced. Inquire at your local PHA office if you have any questions about how prioritizing is allotted.
If the PHA in your area has more applicants than it can assist in the near future, it may temporarily stop accepting new applications. Although this type of closure is not permanent, it may be beneficial to look for Section 8 housing in another county or metropolitan area if your local office is not open to new applicants.
2-2. Know your responsibilities if you do get accepted.
If your local PHA does approve your application and provide you with a housing voucher, you'll need to make sure that your current or intended living situation fits HUD health and safety requirements.
Safety requirements include appropriate thermal controls, running water and sanitation systems, lack of toxic building materials, and structural integrity among other criteria.
If you're renting, you'll be required to sign a year lease with a cooperating property owner, who will be obligated to both you and your local PHA to provide safe housing and reasonable rent.
You'll also be required to make payments on time, maintain the unit in good condition, and comply with the terms of the lease. If you fail to pay the landlord on time, your Section 8 assistance could be revoked.
2-3. Calculate your rent responsibility.
Under Section 8 housing, you and your family will pay 30% of your monthly adjusted gross income on housing and utilities. Your voucher will cover the remainder of the cost. Your local PHA can help you calculate how much you need to budget for each month.
Say, for example, your monthly income is $1,000. You'd pay $300, even if the rent of the unit is $1,000. There will likely be a cap on the maximum amount the voucher can pay based on the cost of living in your area.
2-4. Avoid housing discrimination.
A landlord may legally refuse occupancy for failure to pass background checks, poor credit, and other determinations, but cannot refuse occupancy to you based solely on your Section 8 enrollment. Nor can a landlord charge a section 8 voucher holder more than a non-section-8 tenant.
If you think a landlord has refused occupancy to you based solely on your Section 8 enrollment, contact your local PHA.
2-5. Know what role geography plays in Section 8 enrollment.
Section 8 guidelines are different from location to location. But in general, residents who receive a tenant-based voucher for the current jurisdiction in which they live may use that voucher to live anywhere in the country. Residents who do not live in the same jurisdiction in which they applied must move to the jurisdiction that issues the voucher for at least 12 months; after 12 months, they are free to move.
Section 8 vouchers can also help you buy your home by getting a home loan at below-market interest rates. This enables you to use your voucher as a credit toward your mortgage rather than rent. Consult your local housing authority for more information.
2-6. Don't commit fraud.
Fraud can result in termination of Section 8 assistance, as well as restitution of funds, probation, or even prison. Fraud may be defined as any of the following offenses:
Knowingly omitting or under-reporting income or assets from household income.
Transferring assets or income to achieve eligibility.
Falsifying or using false Social Security documents.
Falsifying the number of members in your household.
Getting assistance on top of Section 8 without notifying the appropriate parties
Renting out or subletting all or part of the unit.
Charging rent from any tenants who may be living with you.
Tips
You can move without losing your access to Section 8 housing. Be sure to notify your local PHA in advance, terminate your lease within lease provisions, and find new housing that fits within HUD health and safety standards.
Expect to wait before you hear a final determination on your application. Many Section 8 housing applicants are on waiting lists for months and even years.
Note that landlords must return any deposits held if the unit doesn’t pass the HUD inspection, and they have the right to turn away an applicant if the inspection cannot be completed within 10 days.
Warnings
Don’t get tricked by professional scammers. There are fraudulent companies promising to help you complete the paperwork for Section 8 housing in return for a fee. You can get all the assistance you need to file for Section 8 housing free of charge simply by contacting the federal HUD office or your local public housing authority.

2,202 | How to Apply for Section 8 Housing in California | 1. Qualifying for Section 8
1-1. Calculate your income.
Section 8 is an income-based program. Accordingly, you need to have an income lower than your area’s median income for a family of your size. Add up all sources of income, including the following:
wages
tips
overtime
commissions
retirement income
pension
Social Security benefits
workers’ compensation benefits
unemployment benefits
child support
alimony
welfare assistance
1-2. Compare your income to your area’s median.
The median is the midpoint—half of all people will have income above this point and half will have income below. You can find your median here: https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/il/il2016/select_Geography.odn. Based on your income, you’ll be placed into one of three categories:
Low income. You earn 80% or less of your area’s median income.
Very low income. You earn 50% or less of the area’s median income.
Extremely low income. You earn 30% or less of the area’s median income. By law, 75% of all vouchers are given to people in the extremely low income category.
1-3. Meet other requirements.
To qualify for Section 8, you must meet additional requirements. You can check all requirements with your local housing authority:
Immigration status. The Section 8 program is limited to U.S. citizens and certain categories of non-citizens with eligible immigration status. If your family has ineligible immigrants, then your benefit amount will be reduced provided you qualify.
Disqualifying evictions. To qualify for a Section 8 voucher, you cannot have been evicted from any Section 8 program (or public housing) for drug-related criminal activity within the past three years. The clock starts from the date of the eviction.
Other requirements. Your housing authority may have other requirements.
2. Applying to the Section 8 Program
2-1. Find the correct housing authority.
You’ll apply for Section 8 at the housing authority for the area where you want to live. For example, you might live in Alameda right now but want to move to San Diego. In that situation, you’ll apply to the San Diego housing authority.
There are also 106 housing authorities in California that offer the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program.
2-2. Complete an application.
Your housing authority can tell you how to apply. There may be a paper application, or you may need to apply online. You will need to provide information about your family and your income.
Demand for Section 8 is high in many California cities and counties. Accordingly, the housing authority may only accept Section 8 applications during certain times of the year. You should read the local newspaper to find out when the application period has opened.
2-3. Check if you qualify for a local preference.
Because waiting lists are so long, the housing authority sometimes moves people up the list because they are especially needy. Contact the housing authority and ask. For example, a family might be moved up the list in the following situations:
the family is homeless or currently living in substandard housing
the family pays more than 50% of its income in rent
the family has been displaced involuntarily
2-4. Await your results.
After receiving your application, the housing authority will verify the information with your employer, bank, and other local agencies. Based on these results, they will then determine your eligibility and how much assistance you qualify for.
If eligible, your name will go on a waiting list. However, if the waiting list is too long, the housing authority can close the list and not put you on it.
When your name is finally reached on the list, the housing authority will contact you. Because you might be waiting a long time, you should always give your housing authority any updated address and contact information.
Once a voucher is available, the housing authority must re-confirm that you qualify.
2-5. Calculate the amount of your voucher.
Your housing authority should let you know how much your voucher is for and what sized unit you can rent. Generally, you must pay 30% of your monthly adjusted gross income for utilities and rent.
For example, if your monthly income is $1,000, you will need to pay $300 in rent and utilities.
However, you might have to pay more, depending on your circumstances.
2-6. Find a landlord who will accept your voucher.
As a recipient, you can rent any home on the market so long as it meets certain safety conditions. The landlord also must agree to rent to you. A landlord is not required to rent to someone with a Section 8 voucher.
Your housing authority might have a list of apartment buildings that regularly rent to section 8 recipients and which have passed the inspection. Ask if any list is available.
You can also use HUD’s affordable apartment search engine, available here: https://www.hud.gov/apps/section8/step2.cfm?state=CA%2CCalifornia.
When you find a place, you must reach an agreement to rent with the landlord and then contact the local housing authority to inspect the home.
3. Applying for Public Housing Instead
3-1. Distinguish public housing from Section 8.
HUD also runs some public housing. With a voucher, you rent from a private landlord who is paid by HUD. By contrast, with public housing, you rent directly from your local housing authority.
Public housing might be an option if your Section 8 waiting list is too long.
3-2. Check if you are eligible.
Your eligibility will be based on a variety of factors, such as income and family size, as well as criminal background. Talk to your housing authority about whether you qualify.
If you can’t reach the housing authority, then contact your local HUD Field Office. They should be able to help.
3-3. Submit an application and documentation.
Your housing authority representative will need to collect information from you during the application process. For example, you must provide the following:
Names of everyone who will live in the unit, including their date of birth, sex, and relationship to the head of household. You should have birth certificates.
Your current address and telephone number.
Names and addresses of your current and prior landlords.
Your expected family income for the next 12 months. You may need to show a recent tax return.
Names of employers, banks, and others the housing authority can contact as references. They need to verify your income and other information.
Any circumstances that might qualify you to leapfrog others on the waiting list. For example, you might be a veteran, homeless, or living in substandard housing.
3-4. Check if you qualify for a preference.
Because each housing authority has a limited budget, they can move people up the waiting list. You should ask the housing authority if they have preferences. For example, Los Angeles awards preference to families with a head of household who is:
Working at least 20 hours a week at the state minimum wage.
Attending an accredited college or trade/vocational school full-time, and is expected to find employment after graduation.
Working and attending school for at least 20 hours a week combined.
Otherwise economically self-sufficient.
Disabled or 62 years older.
3-5. Receive notification.
You’ll receive written notification of the results. If you are denied, you can request an informal hearing as an appeal.
If you’re eligible, then your name will go on a waiting list unless the housing authority has a spot available for you.
3-6. Calculate your rent.
HUD will calculate your rent by taking your gross annual income less certain deductions. Annual income is all income you and your family receive from all sources. If you have undocumented migrants in your household, you will pay more (since they are ineligible). You will need to pay the highest of any of the following amounts:
30% of your adjusted monthly income (minus allowed deductions)
10% of your monthly income
minimum rent, of $25-50
welfare rent, if applicable
Tips
To increase your likelihood of getting a voucher, you can apply to as many housing authorities as you want. You are not limited to the housing authority for the city or county where you currently live. However, you must rent in the area where you get a housing voucher. Accordingly, don’t apply for Section 8 unless you can live in the area.

2,203 | How to Apply for Section 8 Housing in Dallas County, Texas | 1. Understanding Section 8 Housing
1-1. Learn how Section 8 housing choice vouchers work.
Section 8 is the federal government's way of providing safe and sanitary housing for very low-income, disabled, and elderly Americans. Section 8 provides vouchers for private housing; families or individuals provided a Section 8 voucher are responsible for renting their own housing unit from a landlord who agrees to participate in the program.
Vouchers are administered locally by public housing agencies. In Dallas County, the relevant agency is the Dallas County Housing Agency.
The subsidy voucher is paid directly to the landlord by your public housing agency.
You are then responsible for paying the difference between the subsidy voucher and the rent a landlord is charging for a certain housing unit. (For example, if your voucher is $400/month and the rent on your apartment is $600/month, you'll be responsible for paying the remaining $200/month.)
Under certain circumstances, Section 8 vouchers may be used toward purchase of a modest home. To learn about this program in Dallas County, call 214-819-6060.
1-2. Determine whether you are eligible for Section 8.
Your eligibility will be determined by your local public housing agency -- the Dallas County Housing Agency -- and is based upon annual gross income, family size, and citizenship.
Section 8 is limited to U.S. citizens and specific categories of non-citizens who have eligible immigration status.
Generally, your family's income cannot exceed 50 percent of the median household income in your county or metropolitan area -- in this case, Dallas County, Texas.
Public housing agencies are required to provide 75 percent of their funds to families whose incomes do not exceed 30 percent of an area's median income.
Consult the Dallas County Housing Agency for specifics regarding income requirements in your county.
1-3. Understand your obligations as a tenant.
You must sign a lease agreement committing you to staying in your housing unit for at least one year. You may be required to pay a security deposit. Once in a unit, you are required to comply with lease and program requirements, pay your portion of the rent on time, maintain the housing unit, and notify your public housing authority of any changes in your income or the composition of your family.
After one year, you may sign a new lease, or your landlord may allow you to switch from month-to-month renting.
Section 8 benefits are portable; you may move as long as you notify your public housing authority ahead of time, follow the terms of your rental agreement, and find acceptable alternative housing.
2. Applying for Section 8 Rental Housing
2-1. Check to see whether the Dallas County Housing Agency is accepting Section 8 applications.
Demand for Section 8 housing outstrips supply in Dallas County. As a result, you will need to apply for a position on a waiting list, and even the waiting list is often closed to new applications. When the list does open, the county may only accept new applicants for a few days at a time.
To learn whether Dallas County is currently accepting applications to the Section 8 waiting list, call 214-819-1871.
Consult the Dallas County Housing Agency or online Section 8 assistance sites such as Affordable Housing Online regularly so you do not miss an opportunity to place your application on the waiting list.
2-2. Ensure your application is complete.
The Dallas County Housing Agency will collect information relating to your family income, assets, family composition, and citizenship status, so ensure you have all the documents you need to properly file your application. Dallas County will then verify much of this information with other local agencies, your employer, and your bank, so honesty is important.
Order forms like birth certificates and citizenship documents ahead of time so you can provide all necessary documents when the waiting list does open. Remember, your window of opportunity may be limited.
Note that counties may establish preferences for homeless families, those paying more than 50 percent of their income in rent, or those who have been involuntarily displaced. People in these categories may "jump the queue" and receive Section 8 vouchers ahead of others on the waiting list.
2-3. Follow up on your application.
Ensure you are available by phone, and check both your physical mail and your email regularly for updates on your application.
3. Seeking Related Options
3-1. Evaluate your other options for low-income housing in Dallas County.
The Dallas Public Library has compiled a useful list of tools for citizens seeking affordable housing.
The Dallas Housing Authority provides a variety of services within the City of Dallas, including Section 8 programs and public housing. The estimated wait time for both types of housing is currently three to five years, and waiting lists for both types of programs are closed at present (October 2015).
The City of Dallas Housing/Community Services Department provides a variety of services, including homeowner and mortgage assistance programs and neighborhood revitalization initiatives. Among the city's programs are Community Housing Development Programs that produce affordable housing through nonprofit partnerships with the city.
Seek information on low-income renters' rights and related issues through the Texas Low Income Housing Information Service.
3-2. Consider your geographic mobility.
You may apply for Section 8 housing anywhere in the country. If you receive a voucher for a specific area, you are then committed to live in that area for a minimum of 12 months. You may have family ties, work commitments, or other obligations that keep you in Dallas County, but if you are mobile, you may consider searching online for public housing authorities that have open Section 8 waiting lists.
3-3. Familiarize yourself with aid programs that may help you pay for other housing-related needs.
For example, Texas residents may be eligible for programs offered through the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs that help with the cost of utility bills, fair housing claims, weatherization, homeless services, and even home ownership. Nonprofit agencies may provide similar forms of assistance. Consider whether one or more of these programs may help lift the burden of non-Section 8 rental payments.

2,204 | How to Apply for Short Term Disability Benefits | 1. Applying for Private Temporary Benefits
1-1. Identify a provider.
You may be able to get short-term disability benefits through your employer or union, who insure the private plan. If so, then the premiums can be deducted from your paycheck. If your employer or union does not offer short-term disability benefits, then you can purchase short-term disability on the marketplace.
To find a private plan that works for you, search the Internet for “short-term disability private insurer.” You can then contact a carrier who will connect you with a licensed insurance agent.
Compare different plans based on how high the premium is and what percentage of your base earnings will be replaced. You also want to look at how long the waiting period is before you can get benefits. For some plans, you need to wait a month or more.
Some plans also require that you take all of your sick leave before you can apply for temporary disability benefits. If you do not have much sick time saved—or if you do not want to use it for a disability—then you might want to check out other plans.
1-2. Get an application form.
Contact Human Resources (HR) or your union to get a form to sign-up for short-term disability insurance. Alternately, your insurance agent will provide you with an application.
1-3. Pay premiums.
Premiums can be deducted from your paycheck if your employer sponsors the disability plan. Otherwise, you will be responsible for making timely payments. If you miss a payment, your insurance may be suspended.
1-4. File a claim when necessary.
Contact HR or the insurance company and inform them that you need to file a claim. You should be given a form. You should provide all requested information, typing the information or printing neatly in black ink. Some information may need to be filled out by your employer. You should work with them to get the necessary information, such as your earnings and employment status.
Your doctor (or whoever has attended to you) will probably also need to complete information. The physician may also need to complete a separate Physician’s Statement.
You will need to report the date of your illness and when you first were unable to work. You must also report the hospitals, clinics, or physicians who have treated you and what you believe is wrong with you.
1-5. Submit the form.
Make a copy of the form and return it to the address provided. If you are mailing the form to a private insurance carrier, you should send it certified mail, return receipt requested. This way, you will know when it is received.
Wait to hear from the insurer. If you do not hear back in a couple of weeks, then contact your insurance agent or contact the carrier directly.
2. Applying for State Temporary Benefits
2-1. Check if your state offers benefits.
Currently, only a few states require short-term disability benefits: California, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Hawaii. The benefits differ depending on the state. In Hawaii, for example, employees can get up to 26 weeks of temporary disability benefits. In California, workers can get up to a year in benefits.
The amount of the benefit differs by state. In California, benefits are 55% of the wages the employee earned in the year before applying for benefits. New York employees can receive 50% of their average wage (up to a cap).
Some of these states mandate that employers purchase private short-term disability for their employees from a private insurer. Do not be surprised if you have to file a claim with a private insurer.
2-2. See if you qualify.
Each state also has different qualifying criteria. You must meet the criteria in order to qualify. To find your state’s requirements, you should check with your Department of Labor.
In Hawaii, for example, employees must have worked at least 20 hours a week for a minimum of 14 weeks. They also must have been paid at least $400 in wages per week.
2-3. Notify your employer that you are disabled.
You should tell your employer that you need to apply for short-term disability benefits. Your employer should then provide you with the appropriate form to complete.
You will probably need the help of your doctor and employer to complete the form. You should give yourself plenty of time to get all of the necessary information in order to submit the claim in a timely manner.
2-4. File a claim.
After you have completed the application form, you should make a copy for your records and then mail the completed form to the appropriate office. The appropriate office may be your employer or the employer’s insurance carrier. In some states, you must return to the form to the state Department of Labor.
Don’t wait. You must file a claim in a timely manner. In New Jersey, you have 30 days from the first day you became disabled in order to file. In California, you have 49 days.
2-5. Provide follow-up information.
You may be contacted to provide additional information. You should respond as soon as possible so that there is no delay in processing your claim.
Otherwise, a determination should be quickly, depending on your state. In Hawaii, determinations are made within 90 days. Check with your state’s Department of Labor.
Tips
If you are injured on the job, then you need to file a Workers’ Compensation claim. You should talk to your boss as soon as you have received medical treatment for an injury on the job.

2,205 | How to Apply for Social Security Survivor Benefits for a Child | 1. Preparing to Apply
1-1. Understand eligibility.
In order to be eligible for benefits, the deceased must have earned a certain number of “credits,” based on age at the time of death. A worker can earn up to four credits a year. In 2015, a worker earned one credit for every $1,220 of wages or self-employed income.
The amount of credits needed will depend on the worker’s age when he or she died. The younger the deceased was, the fewer credits required for survivor’s benefits. No age group requires more than 40 credits to trigger benefits.
Furthermore, benefits will not be denied if the deceased earned six credits within the last three years of his or her life.
1-2. Get certified birth certificates.
To apply for survivor’s benefits for children, you will need your birth certificate and the child’s. If you do not have a birth certificate, you will need to order one.
You can get copies of birth certificates through VitalChek. Visit www.vitalchek.com and select “Birth Certificate” and then “Start Your Order.”
If your child is adopted, then you will need a copy of the adoption certificate.
After entering the name of the person whose birth certificate you are purchasing, you will then select your state. Then you will be prompted to select the city in which the person was born.
1-3. Obtain a death certificate.
You need a death certificate for the deceased. For information on how to obtain a death certificate, read wikiHow’s How to Acquire a Death Certificate.
1-4. Get a copy of your marriage certificate.
If you were divorced from the deceased, then you would need a divorce certificate in place of the marriage certificate.
Both marriage and divorce certificates can be purchased through VitalChek as well.
1-5. Find the deceased’s tax forms.
You will also need a photocopy of the deceased’s most recent W-2 form or self-employment form.
If you were divorced from the deceased and do not have access to his or her tax records, you should contact the executor of the deceased’s estate. In order to get tax information from the IRS, you need the authorization of the executor, who has the power to get that information.
If your children are earning money, then you will also need tax forms showing how much income they have made.
1-6. Get Social Security Numbers.
You will also need Social Security Numbers for you, for the deceased, and for any children.
If your child does not yet have a Social Security Number, you need to apply for one. You can do this at the Social Security office.
You will have to complete a form, SS-5, at the office. You will need your child’s birth certificate (which you will need anyway to apply for survivor’s benefits). You will also need something to establish your child’s identity: for example, a state-issued identification card, school identification card, or daycare record.
1-7. Contact the Social Security Administration.
As soon as possible after the date of death, contact the office to apply for Social Security survivor benefits for a child. You cannot apply online.
Call the Social Security Administration toll-free at 1-800-772-1213 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Those who are deaf or hard of hearing should call the TTY line at 1-800-325-0778.
Visit or call your local Social Security office. To find contact information for the Social Security office closest to you, go the Social Security Administration's website, click "Find a Social Security Office," enter your zip code in the field provided, and click "Locate."
1-8. Don’t wait.
It is imperative that you start the application process as soon as possible. Benefits will be due retroactive to the date of death in most cases, but in some instances, benefits will only be retroactive to the date of application.
Also note that there is a $255 one-time payment available to a spouse or children of the deceased if the deceased worked long enough for his or her age group. However, the beneficiary must apply for this benefit within two years of the death.
2. Applying for Benefits
2-1. Visit the Social Security office.
Arrive at the Social Security office as soon as it opens on the day you are instructed to apply for benefits. Social Security does not make fixed appointments. You will be told what day to arrive to apply for Social Security survivor benefits for a child, but service on any given day is first-come, first-served.
Avoid arriving at the Social Security office around lunch time or any later than 90 minutes before closing time.
2-2. Answer all questions.
You will meet with a Social Security intake representative who will ask you questions. Provide any required documentation and sign any paperwork presented to you by the Social Security intake representative during the application interview.
The intake representative will provide you with a summary called a “Receipt for Your Claim for Social Security Child's Insurance Benefits” for each child for whom you are applying for benefits. Do not lose this. You will need it to check on the status of your claim later on. Make sure the intake representative also returns all original copies of important documentation to you before you leave the office.
Make sure you get a business card with your intake representative's contact information before you leave the office. Your intake representative is your local, flesh-and-blood contact person should there be any delay in application processing or timely receipt of benefits at any future point.
2-3. Check your application online.
Visit www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. You can then create an account. From your account, you can check for your benefit verification letter and calculate your benefit estimates.
You also can set up or change direct deposit online.
2-4. Get benefits.
Social Security uses the deceased’s base benefit amount and awards a percentage. A child receives 75% of the deceased’s benefit amount.
There are maximums that a family may get. The limit varies, but it is roughly between 150% and 180% of the deceased’s basic benefit rate. Accordingly, if you have more than 2 children receiving benefits, their amount will be reduced so that the total does not exceed the family maximum.
Tips
If you live outside of the United States, Visit the Social Security Administration's “Service Around the World" webpage for instruction on how to apply.

2,206 | How to Apply for Spousal Social Security Benefits | 1. Assessing Your Eligibility
1-1. Find out if your spouse has claimed their benefits.
If you're currently married, you can't claim spousal benefits unless your spouse has already started receiving their retirement benefits. If you're older than your spouse, you can collect your own retirement benefits until your spouse reaches retirement age, then claim the spousal benefits on top of your own retirement benefits.
The amount of your spousal benefit isn't affected by the age at which your spouse started receiving their retirement benefits. It is always based on your spouse's primary insurance amount, which is the amount they would receive if they started claiming benefits at their normal retirement age (NRA). This age is based on the year you were born. You can find out your NRA, and the NRA of your spouse, at https://www.ssa.gov/oact/ProgData/nra.html.
If you and your spouse are divorced, it doesn't matter if they're receiving their benefits yet or not. You can still collect your spousal benefit if you are otherwise eligible.
1-2. Compare your spousal benefit to your own retirement benefits.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) always pays out your own retirement benefits first. However, if your spouse worked for more years, or made more money than you did, it's possible that your spousal benefit will be greater than your retirement benefits.
The SSA looks at the amount of retirement benefits you're eligible for, then the amount of spousal benefits you're eligible for. If the spousal benefits are greater than your retirement benefits, you would be paid your retirement benefits first, then spousal benefits would be used to make up the difference. You always get the larger of the two amounts.
If your retirement benefits are greater than your spousal benefits, you technically wouldn't be eligible for spousal benefits, because you would be paid your retirement benefits since they would give you more.
For example, suppose you are eligible for $200 a month in retirement benefits. Your spouse's primary insurance amount is $500 a month, and they started receiving benefits at their NRA. This means you're entitled to 50 percent of their primary insurance amount, or $250 a month. Technically, you would be paid your $200 a month in retirement benefits, plus another $50 a month in spousal benefits, to bring you up to the full $250 a month.
1-3. Determine whether you can receive benefits on your ex-spouse's record.
If you are divorced but were married to your spouse for at least 10 years, you may be able to get spousal benefits off of their account. To be eligible for divorced spouse benefits, all of the following must be true:
You are unmarried
You are at least 62 years old
Your ex-spouse is entitled to Social Security benefits (either retirement or disability)
Your retirement benefits are less than your spousal benefits based on their work would be
You've been divorced for at least 2 years (if your ex-spouse has not yet claimed their benefits)
1-4. Decide when you want to start receiving benefits.
Your full spousal benefit is 50% of your spouse's primary insurance amount. However, if you decide to start receiving those benefits before you reach your normal retirement age, your benefit amount will be permanently reduced.
If you are between the age of 62 and your normal retirement age, the amount of spousal benefits you receive is reduced by a percentage that is based on the number of months until you reach normal retirement age. The lowest percentage you could possibly get is 32.5% of your spouse's primary insurance amount.
In some situations, it might make sense for you to claim your spousal benefits early. However, if you can afford to do so, you'll get more money if you wait until you reach your normal retirement age.
2. Submitting Your Application
2-1. Gather documents that demonstrate your eligibility.
You will be asked questions on the application to assess your eligibility. You may also need to provide original documents to the SSA so it's a good idea to get them together before you start filling out the application. Documents you may need include:
Your birth certificate
Proof of US citizenship status or lawful permanent residence
US military discharge papers
W-2 forms or self-employment tax returns for the past year
Your final divorce decree, if you're applying as a divorced spouse
Your marriage certificate
2-2. Complete the application online.
The easiest way to apply for spousal Social Security benefits is through your "My Social Security" account at https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/. If you don't have an account, you can create one and apply from there. To apply online, you must be at least 61 years and 9 months old.
If you can't apply online or don't want to use the online form, you can also call 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).
You can also complete an application in person at your local Social Security office. If you don't know where the nearest Social Security office is located, go to https://secure.ssa.gov/ICON/main.jsp and enter your ZIP code.
2-3. Provide any additional documents requested.
After you submit your application, you may be contacted by the SSA for further information. You may also get a letter in the mail with a list of documents you need to send to the SSA.
With the exception of photocopies of W-2 forms, tax returns, or medical documents, the SSA needs original documents. Any original documents will be returned to you. If you don't feel comfortable mailing these documents, you can take them in person to your local SSA office.
If you mail documents, you may want to send them using certified mail with return receipt requested, particularly if you're sending original documents.
3. Collecting Your Benefits
3-1. Set up an online account if you haven't already.
From your "My Social Security" account at https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/, you can check the status of your application and manage your benefits. If you didn't apply for your benefits online, you can still set up a free account to manage your benefits.
You must have a valid email address to set up an online account. The SSA will use that email address to send you notices about your account and your benefits, so make sure it's one you have regular access to.
3-2. Sign up for direct deposit.
Direct deposit is the quickest and easiest way to get your Social Security benefits. With rare exceptions, federal law now requires all federal benefit payments to be made electronically. You can set up direct deposit through your "My Social Security" account or by visiting https://fiscal.treasury.gov/GoDirect/. To set up your direct deposit, you will need the following information:
Your Social Security number or claim number
Your financial institution's routing transit number
Your account number and account type (checking or savings)
3-3. Apply for a debit card if you don't have a US bank account.
If you don't have a US bank account, your benefits will be delivered to you on a Direct Express debit MasterCard. You can sign up for the debit card online at https://fiscal.treasury.gov/GoDirect/ or by calling 1-800-333-1795.
Even if you have a bank account, you can still sign up for a Direct Express card if you prefer to get your benefits that way.
You'll get your card in the mail within 2 to 4 weeks. Your benefits will be deposited onto the card account on your payment date each month. You can use the card anywhere that MasterCard is accepted or withdraw cash from an ATM.
3-4. Submit an application for a waiver if you can't use direct deposit.
If you live in a remote area without access to banking services, or if electronic payments would cause you a significant hardship (for example, because of a physical or mental impairment), you can apply for a waiver and continue to get a paper check. Waivers are rarely granted and only in extreme circumstances.
If you would like to request a waiver, call 1-855-290-1545.
You can also print the waiver form at https://fiscal.treasury.gov/GoDirect/about-faq/FMS_Form_1201W_March_2014.pdf. Fill it out and mail it to the address listed on the form.
Tips
If you live outside of the US, visit the nearest Social Security Field Office. International field office locations are at https://www.ssa.gov/foreign/. If there isn't a field office near you, the nearest US embassy or consulate will be able to help you.[14]

However, if your spouse worked for more years, or made more money than you did, it's possible that your spousal benefit will be greater than your retirement benefits.\\nThe SSA looks at the amount of retirement benefits you're eligible for, then the amount of spousal benefits you're eligible for. If the spousal benefits are greater than your retirement benefits, you would be paid your retirement benefits first, then spousal benefits would be used to make up the difference. You always get the larger of the two amounts.\\nIf your retirement benefits are greater than your spousal benefits, you technically wouldn't be eligible for spousal benefits, because you would be paid your retirement benefits since they would give you more.\\nFor example, suppose you are eligible for $200 a month in retirement benefits. Your spouse's primary insurance amount is $500 a month, and they started receiving benefits at their NRA. This means you're entitled to 50 percent of their primary insurance amount, or $250 a month. Technically, you would be paid your $200 a month in retirement benefits, plus another $50 a month in spousal benefits, to bring you up to the full $250 a month.\\n1-3. Determine whether you can receive benefits on your ex-spouse's record.\\nIf you are divorced but were married to your spouse for at least 10 years, you may be able to get spousal benefits off of their account. To be eligible for divorced spouse benefits, all of the following must be true:\\nYou are unmarried\\nYou are at least 62 years old\\nYour ex-spouse is entitled to Social Security benefits (either retirement or disability)\\nYour retirement benefits are less than your spousal benefits based on their work would be\\nYou've been divorced for at least 2 years (if your ex-spouse has not yet claimed their benefits)\\n1-4. Decide when you want to start receiving benefits.\\nYour full spousal benefit is 50% of your spouse's primary insurance amount. However, if you decide to start receiving those benefits before you reach your normal retirement age, your benefit amount will be permanently reduced.\\nIf you are between the age of 62 and your normal retirement age, the amount of spousal benefits you receive is reduced by a percentage that is based on the number of months until you reach normal retirement age. The lowest percentage you could possibly get is 32.5% of your spouse's primary insurance amount.\\nIn some situations, it might make sense for you to claim your spousal benefits early. However, if you can afford to do so, you'll get more money if you wait until you reach your normal retirement age.\\n2. Submitting Your Application\\n2-1. Gather documents that demonstrate your eligibility.\\nYou will be asked questions on the application to assess your eligibility. You may also need to provide original documents to the SSA so it's a good idea to get them together before you start filling out the application. Documents you may need include:\\nYour birth certificate\\nProof of US citizenship status or lawful permanent residence\\nUS military discharge papers\\nW-2 forms or self-employment tax returns for the past year\\nYour final divorce decree, if you're applying as a divorced spouse\\nYour marriage certificate\\n2-2. Complete the application online.\\nThe easiest way to apply for spousal Social Security benefits is through your \\\"My Social Security\\\" account at https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/. If you don't have an account, you can create one and apply from there. To apply online, you must be at least 61 years and 9 months old.\\nIf you can't apply online or don't want to use the online form, you can also call 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).\\nYou can also complete an application in person at your local Social Security office. If you don't know where the nearest Social Security office is located, go to https://secure.ssa.gov/ICON/main.jsp and enter your ZIP code.\\n2-3. Provide any additional documents requested.\\nAfter you submit your application, you may be contacted by the SSA for further information. You may also get a letter in the mail with a list of documents you need to send to the SSA.\\nWith the exception of photocopies of W-2 forms, tax returns, or medical documents, the SSA needs original documents. Any original documents will be returned to you. If you don't feel comfortable mailing these documents, you can take them in person to your local SSA office.\\nIf you mail documents, you may want to send them using certified mail with return receipt requested, particularly if you're sending original documents.\\n3. Collecting Your Benefits\\n3-1. Set up an online account if you haven't already.\\nFrom your \\\"My Social Security\\\" account at https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/, you can check the status of your application and manage your benefits. If you didn't apply for your benefits online, you can still set up a free account to manage your benefits.\\nYou must have a valid email address to set up an online account. The SSA will use that email address to send you notices about your account and your benefits, so make sure it's one you have regular access to.\\n3-2. Sign up for direct deposit.\\nDirect deposit is the quickest and easiest way to get your Social Security benefits. With rare exceptions, federal law now requires all federal benefit payments to be made electronically. You can set up direct deposit through your \\\"My Social Security\\\" account or by visiting https://fiscal.treasury.gov/GoDirect/. To set up your direct deposit, you will need the following information:\\nYour Social Security number or claim number\\nYour financial institution's routing transit number\\nYour account number and account type (checking or savings)\\n3-3. Apply for a debit card if you don't have a US bank account.\\nIf you don't have a US bank account, your benefits will be delivered to you on a Direct Express debit MasterCard. You can sign up for the debit card online at https://fiscal.treasury.gov/GoDirect/ or by calling 1-800-333-1795.\\nEven if you have a bank account, you can still sign up for a Direct Express card if you prefer to get your benefits that way.\\nYou'll get your card in the mail within 2 to 4 weeks. Your benefits will be deposited onto the card account on your payment date each month. You can use the card anywhere that MasterCard is accepted or withdraw cash from an ATM.\\n3-4. Submit an application for a waiver if you can't use direct deposit.\\nIf you live in a remote area without access to banking services, or if electronic payments would cause you a significant hardship (for example, because of a physical or mental impairment), you can apply for a waiver and continue to get a paper check. Waivers are rarely granted and only in extreme circumstances.\\nIf you would like to request a waiver, call 1-855-290-1545.\\nYou can also print the waiver form at https://fiscal.treasury.gov/GoDirect/about-faq/FMS_Form_1201W_March_2014.pdf. Fill it out and mail it to the address listed on the form.\\nTips\\nIf you live outside of the US, visit the nearest Social Security Field Office.

2,207 | How to Apply for Survivor | 1. Meeting Survivor’s Eligibility Requirements
1-1. Have a US or Canadian passport as a citizen.
CBS has two requirements that applicants for Survivor must meet. The first of these is to be a citizen of either the United States or Canada, and to have a valid US or Canadian passport. Be sure to apply for a passport well before you plan to apply, if you don’t already have one.
Having a passport is a requirement because Survivor is filmed on location around the world. Without a passport, you will not be able to film the show.
1-2. Be over 18 years of age, or older in certain US states.
For most states and provinces, you simply have to be 18 or older to apply. Applying on your 18th birthday would be perfectly acceptable in these areas.
Alabama and Nebraska residents must be 19 years or older.
Residents of Mississippi and the District of Columbia must be 21 years or older.
1-3. Be in good physical and mental shape.
During later phases of the application process, if you proceed past the first, will be asked to complete medical history checks and undergo both physical and psychological fitness exams.
You should be physically fit and have no major medical issues that could impact your performance.
2. Filming Your Application Video
2-1. Write a general sketch of your video.
A Survivor application video must be no longer than 3 minutes, and should showcase your unique personality and features. Your video can take any format you choose, so long as you are showing off your life story and your experiences.
Successful videos are often filmed in a variety of scenic locations, mixed in with narration over videos and images that show off your past, your life experiences, and your day-to-day life.
2-2. Tell good stories about yourself.
Using specific examples will always be better than listing facts about yourself. The video is a narrative like any other, and it should have a clear structure grounded in the story you want to tell about yourself.
Bring up your most interesting traits. If you are from an area of the country most people have never been to, talk up your attachment to your community. If you work a particularly uncommon or difficult job, highlight the skills you have learned.
Relate yourself to the show. The casting crew wants to see your knowledge of the show along with your personality.
2-3. Use a camera to film your video, not a phone.
Even though most smartphones have high quality cameras, it is better to rent or borrow a nice camera that will film you in the way only real cameras can. If you must use your phone, be sure to keep it horizontal, or landscape, rather than vertical.
The casting team watches videos on a TV screen, so your video should have the right dimensions to comfortably be viewed on a TV.
2-4. Film your video in a quiet, well-lit space.
You can film outdoors or indoors, but always choose a spot that is quiet and away from busy areas. The lighting should always be facing toward you. If the sun is directly behind you, move so that it is not making it hard to see your face.
Filming outdoors can create an image that is in line with Survivor’s premise, by suggesting that you are comfortable outside.
Shoot outdoors during the day unless you have a good reason to film at night. Natural sunlight will be more flattering than no light or bright artificial ones.
Wind can make it difficult to hear your voice. Shoot outdoors only if it is not windy.
2-5. Give a good delivery.
Speak in a clear voice that will be audible in the video. Enunciate your words and use a voice that is audible to everyone in the room. You should speak in a tone that readily grabs attention, rather than a monotone or one that conveys an over-eager attitude.
Avoid reading from a script. Memorize at least the general structure of what you wrote, or memorize your lines cold if you wrote exactly what you plan to say.
You can also just improvise and try several different phrasings of each idea you plan to introduce. This will make sure your video has a natural, conversational flow.
2-6. Edit
There are many editing suites available to you. Apple computers come pre-installed with iMovie, while newer Windows computers have a simple editing tool in the Photos application.
There is also third party software available, like Lightworks, which is a free download, and Adobe Premiere, which is a more expensive and complicated option, with many more features.
At a minimum, you will have to learn how to import your raw footage and splice the clips together, cutting or “trimming” unnecessary footage.
Keep in mind that you are not being judged on your editing skills. The video can be a rough cut so long as it looks clean and your personality shines through.
2-7. Add pictures and videos of your daily life.
As you edit, you will likely want to include images or videos that depict what you spoke about on camera, or ones you wrote down in your outline and plan to record a voice-over for.
Be sure to keep the audio layer in place as you cut out the video and replace it with a new photo or clip, or add each layer separately for a voice-over. Most editing tools have separate audio and visual layers that you can freely edit.
2-8. Use a soundtrack under your narration to keep the pace up.
While it is not necessary, adding a soundtrack with some of your favorite music that fits the image of yourself you are presenting can help your video feel more exciting.
Listening to someone talk for 3 minutes can be tiring, but with the right music you can liven up the casting crew’s experience.
You can use select portions of a few songs to mark transitions. When you switch topics, a new song can make the change clearer.
2-9. Attend a local casting call rather than film a video.
At peak application times, usually in the months preceding a new season, CBS will host open casting calls in select US and Canadian cities. If you attend one of these, they will film your audition and there is no need to film a tape on your own. Be sure to bring your photo I.D. to an open call.
An open call is a great opportunity for someone without the time or resources to write, film, and edit their own application video.
You can attend an open call in addition to submitting a video to raise your chances.
Check for open calls at https://www.cbssurvivorcasting.com/opencalls.
3. Filing Your Application Online
3-1. Go to the Survivor application website.
The URL is https://www.cbssurvivorcasting.com/apply. There, you will find the online application for the show. Be prepared to fill out the entire application at once and upload both your application video and a recent photo of yourself in a standard file format.
You must complete the application in one sitting.
3-2. Enter your basic contact information.
This includes your name, email, phone number, and address. This information will provide CBS with a way to reach out to you if you are accepted, as well as to narrow down candidates by location.
3-3. Provide your appearance information.
You will be asked to share your date of birth and gender, as well as your height, weight, hair color, and ethnicity. CBS will use this information to sort the applications and choose applicants in a certain demographic or appearance range to fill slots for each season.
3-4. Describe your situation.
The application asks for your current occupation and past education, your relationship status, and your familiarity with Survivor. You should be honest about your situation, and it should match the information you provided in your application video.
3-5. Write a 500 character biography.
You should take time to write a thoughtful, exciting, and compelling biography that summarizes who you are. Don’t copy what you say in your video, but do try to capture your main selling points briefly. This is a sales pitch for yourself, so be sure to take it seriously.
Have a friend proofread your biography. You won’t want typos in your application, as this can reflect badly on you.
3-6. Share your social media accounts.
CBS will want to know what your online presence is like, in order to confirm that you are a good fit for the show. The social media they request are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
You may want to emphasize your worthy traits on social media in the months leading up to your application, but don’t cram them all in or make them seem forced.
3-7. Upload your picture.
The picture should be a high quality portrait of you. There should not be anyone else in the photo, and your face should be clearly visible. The file must be less than 5MB, and in one of the following formats: .png, .jpg, .jpeg, or .gif.
Your picture should be recent, and match the description you gave in the application.
3-8. Submit your video.
The file you submit must be less than 50MB and be in one of the following formats: .mpg, .mpeg, .avi, .mp4, .wmv, .mov, .3gp, or .mkv. Before uploading, watch the video one more time to check for any problems with the file.
Give your file a helpful name, like one that includes your full name and the phrase “Survivor Application Video”.
3-9. Wait for a response.
Only those who CBS wishes to move forward are accepted as semi-finalists, so if you don’t hear back by the end of the September before the season you applied for, you most likely were not selected.
3-10. Submit a new application or attend a casting call again if yours was not accepted.
While you will have to create a whole new video and file the application again, the good news is that you can apply as many times as you want. Unless you were a finalist in the casting process, you still have another chance at being on Survivor.

You should be honest about your situation, and it should match the information you provided in your application video.\\n3-5. Write a 500 character biography.\\nYou should take time to write a thoughtful, exciting, and compelling biography that summarizes who you are. Don’t copy what you say in your video, but do try to capture your main selling points briefly. This is a sales pitch for yourself, so be sure to take it seriously.\\nHave a friend proofread your biography. You won’t want typos in your application, as this can reflect badly on you.\\n3-6. Share your social media accounts.\\nCBS will want to know what your online presence is like, in order to confirm that you are a good fit for the show. The social media they request are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.\\nYou may want to emphasize your worthy traits on social media in the months leading up to your application, but don’t cram them all in or make them seem forced.\\n3-7. Upload your picture.\\nThe picture should be a high quality portrait of you. There should not be anyone else in the photo, and your face should be clearly visible. The file must be less than 5MB, and in one of the following formats: .png, .jpg, .jpeg, or .gif.\\nYour picture should be recent, and match the description you gave in the application.\\n3-8. Submit your video.\\nThe file you submit must be less than 50MB and be in one of the following formats: .mpg, .mpeg, .avi, .mp4, .wmv, .mov, .3gp, or .mkv.

Wait for a response.\\nOnly those who CBS wishes to move forward are accepted as semi-finalists, so if you don’t hear back by the end of the September before the season you applied for, you most likely were not selected.\\n3-10. Submit a new application or attend a casting call again if yours was not accepted.\\nWhile you will have to create a whole new video and file the application again, the good news is that you can apply as many times as you want. Unless you were a finalist in the casting process, you still have another chance at being on Survivor.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Survivor is notoriously difficult to appear on, thanks to the huge number of applicants they receive for each season of the show. If you are determined to endure the long and grueling process, not to mention perform and compete on the program, then you will have to begin with the rest of the pack. Applying to be on Survivor requires you to either submit a video application that compels the casting crew to choose you for the next round, or to stand out at a local open casting call. With a little determination, and a few new skills, your application will shine and you may just have a chance at advancing as a semi-finalist.\", \"结构\": {\"方法\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Meeting Survivor’s Eligibility Requirements\", \"步骤\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Have a US or Canadian passport as a citizen.\", \"描述\": \"CBS has two requirements that applicants for Survivor must meet. The first of these is to be a citizen of either the United States or Canada, and to have a valid US or Canadian passport. Be sure to apply for a passport well before you plan to apply, if you don’t already have one.\\nHaving a passport is a requirement because Survivor is filmed on location around the world. Without a passport, you will not be able to film the show.\"}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Be over 18 years of age, or older in certain US states.\", \"描述\": \"For most states and provinces, you simply have to be 18 or older to apply.

The video is a narrative like any other, and it should have a clear structure grounded in the story you want to tell about yourself.\\nBring up your most interesting traits. If you are from an area of the country most people have never been to, talk up your attachment to your community.

Memorize at least the general structure of what you wrote, or memorize your lines cold if you wrote exactly what you plan to say.\\nYou can also just improvise and try several different phrasings of each idea you plan to introduce.

2,208 | How to Apply for Tickets for the FIFA World Cup | 1. Preparing to Apply
1-1. Apply for your passport.
Encourage anyone who wants to attend the World Cup with you to do so as well. You will need a valid passport number in order to apply for tickets.
1-2. Ask for personal information for the friends that will attend with you.
In some cases, you can apply for more than one ticket; however, you will need to enter information about the other ticket holders.
1-3. Pick a form of electronic payment that has sufficient funds.
You can use a credit or debit card, as well as some forms of online secured payments.
1-4. Choose the matches that you want to attend.
You can apply for four tickets per household at once. You can apply for seven matches, as long as they are on different match days.
This means you should always choose one match per day to apply for. If you don't receive tickets for a certain match day, you can always apply during a later application period for a different match.
Since millions of people apply for the tickets, it is a good idea to have 15 to 20 matches listed in order of priority.
1-5. Decide what category and price point you will apply for.
You can't choose the exact seats you would get; however, you apply for categories according to price and proximity to the pitch.
Apply for category one to sit in the prime areas of the stadium. They are along the length of the pitch on either side. Prices are between $175 and $1,000 per match, increasing in price according to the tournament stage.
Apply for category two to find a less expensive ticket in the corners of the stadium. Tickets are approximately $135 to $650, increasing in price according to the tournament stage.
Apply for category three for a lower cost ticket behind the goals. Ticket prices are between $90 and $450 per match. Disabled access tickets are also at this price point.
Apply for a category four only if you are a Brazilian resident. These are sections behind the goal and in the upper section of the stadium. Brazilian residents over the age of 60, students and welfare recipients will be able to apply for half price tickets.
2. Applying During Sales Phase One
2-1. Sign into your FIFA account.
If you don't have a FIFA account, you will need to make one.
2-2. Go to the ticket website between August 20 and October 10, 2013.
Enter your personal information. Then, select your matches.
You can only select one match per day.
Ensure you submit your payment information.
You will receive an email confirmation from FIFA.com when your Random Selection Period application is placed.
2-3. Wait to hear via email after November 4, 2013 from FIFA.com.
They will confirm or let you know if you did not receive tickets.
2-4. Return to the site between November 5 and 28, 2013 to apply for first-come-first-serve tickets in the first sales phase.
2-5. Repeat the application process.
Submit your application for additional matches. You will know immediately whether or not you will receive tickets.
3. Apply During Sales Phase Two
3-1. Return to the FIFA.
3-2. Apply for tickets for additional matches.
Remember, you are limited to only one match per day and four tickets per match.
3-3. Wait for an email on February 25 to see if you received tickets during the random drawing.
3-4. Reapply during the first come first served process of the sales phase two between February 26 and April 1, 2014.
You will know if your ticket application was accepted immediately.
4. Applying For Last Minute Sales
4-1. Sign into your FIFA account in the last phase.
For Brazil in 2014, the last minute sales process begins on April 15, 2014. You can also go to a FIFA ticketing center to purchase these tickets.
4-2. Select tickets for the categories and matches of your choice.
4-3. Purchase your tickets in real-time.
During this phase, you will know immediately if you will receive tickets to the match. Your payment will be processed immediately.
4-4. Opt to purchase tickets at a World Cup ticketing center as of June 1st.
These centers are available in host cities. The tickets can be purchased via debit card or cash.
As of June 1, this is the only way to purchase remaining tickets to the World Cup.
There are no restrictions based on previous game purchases. All tickets are subject to availability.
5. Applying for a Ticket Series
5-1. Apply to follow your team through the World Cup.
Select a Team Specific Ticket (TST) package of three to seven games, instead of applying for individual matches. You will also select a category, and, if your team is knocked out, you will follow the qualifying team in the remaining matches.
Select category one team specific tickets for the best seats. The range of TST is $578 for three games and $2,998 for seven games.
Select category two seats. They range between $446 for three games and $2,079 for seven games.
Select category three seats for a range between $297 and $1,386. Disability accessible tickets are also at this price.
You may be charged an additional “premium match” fee if your team plays an opening match against Brazil.
Apply for these tickets as soon as possible in the application dates. If your team does not qualify for the World Cup, you will be refunded the money, less a $10 fee.
5-2. Opt for a venue-specific ticket.
If your travel in Brazil is limited, you can choose a host city such as Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, or São Paulo. The number of tickets included differs depending upon the number of days that will be hosted, and they are available in categories one through three.
The price varies according to the stadium and the category.
Tickets in a specific venue do not include quarterfinal, semifinal or final match tickets. They must be purchased separately.
Warnings
You can resell tickets back to FIFA. However, the person who applied for tickets can't resell their ticket. You can also change the names of the people who will accompany you; however, you can't change the original applicants name.

2,209 | How to Apply for USPS Jobs | 1. USPS Career Paths
1-1. Verify that you meet the basic requirements.
While the USPS has many different kinds of positions available, all employees must meet the same base set of requirements. All USPS employees must be:
At least 18 years old, or at least 16 years old with a high school diploma
A citizen or permanent resident of the United States
Able to pass a criminal background check, drug screening, and medical assessment
Have a safe driving record (if applicable)
Be registered with the Selective Service (if applicable)
The USPS does not have any general education requirements - you can apply for many positions, including postal carrier, without a high school diploma. However, some corporate positions require a four-year degree.
The USPS is particularly interested in employees with a stable, continuous employment history. The postal service is also unlikely to consider applicants who have been fired for misconduct or excessive lateness or absence.
1-2. Choose between a corporate and a delivery/operations position.
While all USPS employees must meet the same basic requirements, different positions have specific requirements. Corporate positions are generally office-based positions, while delivery and operations positions tend to involve physical labor, including letter delivery.
Corporate careers at the USPS include accounting, business, finance, logistics, marketing, sales, and human resources.
Delivery and operations positions include automotive mechanic and technician, postal carrier, custodian, engineer, mail handler assistant, and tractor trailer operator.
1-3. Search for vacancies by location and/or by job function.
All USPS jobs are made available on the online database so this is the only place you need to look to discover vacant USPS positions. For example, you could look for any jobs in Alabama, any jobs in administrative support, or jobs in administrative support in Alabama.
You can also search by keywords if you have a specific job title in mind.
Many of the positions listed on the USPS website do not include job descriptions. However, these descriptions are available on the American Postal Workers’ Union’s website.
2. Permanent Positions
2-1. Create an account on the USPS website.
You must begin your application for all USPS positions online.
To register you only need to supply your name and email address, a username, and a password.
Once you have created your account, you will be able to update your candidate profile with your demographic information, education, skills, and work experience.
The application requires you to provide the last 7 years of work history. If you have any gaps in employment during this time, you will have to indicate that you were unemployed.
2-2. Take the appropriate exam.
Applicants for many positions with the USPS must take a civil service exam. You must achieve a qualifying score on the exam to be offered a position, but scoring well on the exam does not guarantee that you will receive an offer.
The majority of USPS workers - city carriers, mail processing clerks, mail handlers, and sales, service, and distribution associates - must take Test 473, which tests your ability to check addresses, complete forms, use and assign codes, and remember information.
Test 473 takes about 2 hours to complete. The USPS provides sample questions on its website. Printed study guides are also available at a bookstore or library.
Veterans are granted preferential treatment for this exam, including an automatic 5 or 10 point addition to any test score and priority access to exams not open to the general public.
2-3. Apply for a position.
When you are completing the application, make sure that you have adequately indicated how your skills, education and experience meet the specific criteria for the position you are applying for.
The USPS also recommends that, when you complete the section marked "Summary of Accomplishments," you include a separate document describing how your skills specifically match the position for which you are applying.
You should upload a resume along with your application.
2-4. Make your way through the hiring process.
Once you have successfully completed the necessary exam and applied for a position, you may be invited to a group interview, followed by a personal interview.
If the USPS chooses to offer you a position, you will be contacted to complete a drug screening and criminal background check.
For the final step in the hiring process, you may be called in for a final interview before being offered a position.
3. Special USPS Employment Programs
3-1. Include your status as a veteran on your application to receive preferential treatment.
The USPS treats military service as prior employment. To receive credit, you must submit official documentation showing the details of your discharge from a branch of the Armed Forces.
The USPS employs 85,000 current and former members of the military.
Veterans are also given preferential treatment on the postal civil service exam.
3-2. Apply for the Management Foundations Program.
The USPS offers an 18-month long, full-time internship program for recent graduates.
This program is designed for graduates with 4-year degrees in an applicable discipline, which includes Engineering, Human Resources, Accounting/Finance, Supply, Sales/Marketing, and Information Technology.
Applications must be submitted by the late winter deadline, which varies from year to year. Interviews take place in April, positions are offered in May, and new interns begin in July. Check the USPS website for details.
3-3. Join the USPS for the summer.
The USPS offers a 10-week summer program for current high school and undergraduate students.
Internship positions may be converted to permanent positions once the student completes his education. The intern must meet all of the requirements for employment before he is hired permanently.
Warnings
Beware of online scams guaranteeing USPS jobs in exchange for compensation.

2,210 | How to Apply for Unemployment in Illinois | 1. Submitting Your Application
1-1. Check if you're eligible.
Not all unemployed workers qualify for unemployment benefits in Illinois. Check that you meet the following requirements:
You're unemployed through no fault of your own. Typically, this means you were laid off for economic reasons. You weren't fired and you didn't quit. However, you might qualify if you quit because of sexual harassment, domestic violence, or another reason.
You were paid at least $1,600 in wages in your base year. Generally, you should check your pay for the past five quarters and count only the wages paid during the first four of those quarters. Quarters are January 1-March 31, April 1-June 30, July 1-September 30, and October 1-December 31.
You were paid wages in more than one quarter. At least $440 must have been paid in a different quarter.
1-2. Gather required information.
You must supply the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) with certain information. Collect this information ahead of time:
Your Social Security Number.
Your driver's license or state ID.
The contact information for job you've worked for the past 18 months, as well as dates of employment and the reasons for separation.
Your wage records, such as W-2 or pay stubs.
Any amount you earned during the week you are filing for benefits.
Your Alien Registration Number, if you aren't a citizen.
1-3. Apply online.
Online is the preferred method of applying. Visit the IDES website. You will need to create a username and password here: https://benefits.ides.illinois.gov/File4UI/Benefits/profile/createRegistrationStart.do. Provide all requested information.
1-4. File by phone.
You may also file for unemployment benefits by calling IDES at 800-244-5631. Call between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
Hearing impaired applicants should call 866-322-8357.
1-5. Visit an office to file.
You may also file at any IDES office. Remember to take your Social Security card and a second form of ID, such as your driver's license or state ID card.
You can find your nearest IDES office here: http://www.ides.illinois.gov/Pages/Office_Locator.aspx. Enter your zip code.
1-6. Select your method of payment.
You can receive your benefits by direct deposit or on a debit card. If you choose direct deposit, the benefit amount will be deposited within two business days.
Debit card is the default option, which you'll receive unless you select direct deposit. The card will be mailed to you, and benefits will be loaded after two business days. Call KeyBank Customer Service at 866-295-2955 if you lose your card.
1-7. Register with the employment service.
Most applicants will need to register. Based on your answers when you apply, you may be prompted to visit www.IllinoisJobLink.com and upload at least one resume to the website.
You may also register at an IDES office, if that's easier for you.
1-8. Participate in an interview, if necessary.
IDES might require that you have a telephone interview. In some situations, you will simply fill out a questionnaire and mail it back in. Only a handful of people will be called into the IDES office for an interview.
You'll have to interview if your employer protests your application for unemployment benefits, e.g., you quit because of harassment.
1-9. Receive your UI Finding.
IDES will send you this information after your claim has been filed. Review it to make sure the information contained in it is correct, and contact IDES if anything is wrong. The form should contain the following information:
Your certification date.
The wages each employer paid you over the past year, broken out by quarter.
The dates your benefits begin and end.
How much you qualify for in weekly benefits.
Your maximum benefit balance.
2. Filing for Weekly Benefits
2-1. Check what day you should certify.
Requesting benefits is called certifying. After you apply, you'll receive a call day for certifying benefits. If you don't receive this information, then contact IDES.
2-2. Certify your benefits.
You need to certify every two weeks for the weeks that have just ended. You can certify either online or through Tele-Serve.
To certify online, visit this website: https://ides.illinois.gov/unemployment/certify.html. Click on “Certify for Benefits” and sign in using your username and password. Certification is available Monday through Friday, 5:00 am to 7:30 pm.
To reach Tele-Serve, call 312-338-4337.
2-3. Actively look for work.
To keep receiving benefits, you must actively search for work and be available for work. IDES might contact you and ask where you've been searching and your prospects for getting hired.
Keep detailed records of where you apply and the dates. Not everyone is required to submit this information, but you want it handy in case you do.
Tips
You can appeal if you are denied benefits at any time. To appeal, complete the Request for Reconsideration of Claims Adjudicator's Determination and submit it to your local IDES office.[13]

2,211 | How to Apply for Unemployment in Texas | 1. Meeting the Qualifications for Unemployment
1-1. Meet threshold income requirements.
Texas, like other states, requires that you meet a certain minimum taxable income in order to qualify for unemployment benefits. They will look at the first 4 of the last 5 quarters as a "base period." Essentially, then, you must have made at least a minimum income for the full year preceding the last quarter, before you applied for benefits.
If you do not have enough taxable wages from employment in the base period, you aren't eligible for unemployment benefits.
You must have wages within more than 1 of the 4 base period quarters to be eligible.
If you've ever previously qualified for unemployment benefits in Texas, you must have earned at least 6 times your new weekly benefit amount since that time. What that means is that if you were previously receiving unemployment, then got another job, before losing the new position, you will need to have earned a certain amount in order to requalify. For example, if you made an average of $200 weekly, you must have earned at least 6 times that amount, or $1200, in the interim time before becoming eligible for unemployment benefits again.
1-2. Be unemployed by no fault of your own.
If you quit your job, or if you were fired for cause, you will not be eligible for unemployment benefits. If you were laid off, or lost your job because of a "reduction in force", you may be eligible for unemployment benefits/
If you left your job due to domestic violence or stalking, you may be eligible for unemployment benefits.
If you were forced to quit your job rather than be fired, you may be eligible for unemployment benefits.
If you chose to leave your job to move with your military spouse, you may be eligible for unemployment benefits.
1-3. Be available to work.
This means that you must register with the state workforce center, and apply for a certain number of jobs per week. You must keep a detailed record of your job search, which can be requested by the state workforce center at any time. If you are offered a job while receiving unemployment benefits, you must accept the job.
If you have a disability, you may not qualify for unemployment benefits unless you can prove that you are willing and able to work with necessary accommodations.
To qualify as "able" to work, you must be legally considered physically and mentally capable of work. Most people are considered able to work unless they qualify for disability support.
1-4. Establish Texas residency.
In order to qualify for unemployment benefits in the state of Texas, you must have worked in Texas within the past 12-18 months of your application, in addition to meeting other criteria.
Exemptions may be offered to employees of the military or armed services.
If you have worked outside the state within 18 months of your application, you may not apply for benefits online.
2. Applying for Benefits
2-1. Gather necessary materials and information.
You should plan to be prepared with the following:
your last employer’s business name
address and phone number
the first and last dates (month, day and year) you worked for your last employer
the number of hours you typically were scheduled to work per week as well as the pay rate you received the last week of your job.
If you are not a U.S. citizen, you should bring your Alien Registration Number. If you are a U.S. citizen, be prepared to share your Social Security Number (SSN).
Bring information about the normal wage for the job you are seeking when you apply for benefits.
If you worked for your last employer on more than one occasion, provide the most recent employment dates.
2-2. Contact the Texas workforce commission.
Here you will be able to apply for unemployment benefits as well as register for a current job search. Information is available in both English and Spanish, online and by phone.
The phone number to call for more information, or to start the application process, is 800-939-6631.
Search for new jobs using the online search engine found at the Texas Workforce Commission: http://www.twc.state.tx.us/.
2-3. Complete the online application.
Completing the online application for unemployment benefits will require you to complete the application, receive a Personal Identification Number (PIN) and review all information before submitting.
When you've completed the online application, you'll receive a confirmation of application. Print this for your records, or write down your application confirmation number and keep in a safe location.
Remember that your application isn't complete until you've applied for a job search with the Texas Workforce Commission.
2-4. Request a benefits payment.
You must choose the way in which your unemployment benefits are paid. Unless otherwise directed, your payments will be deposited in a TWC Chase Visa debit card account.
To sign up for your unemployment check to go directly to a bank account, you must wait one day (24 hours) from the time of your application. Then go to Texas Workforce, and change payment to your personal banking account by providing your banking institution's routing number and your personal account number.
You will not receive unemployment benefits through the mail or in cash.
2-5. Wait for the results of your application.
In general, requests for unemployment benefits are processed in about 4 weeks. During this time, the application will be reviewed by considering information on your past wages, job separation, and general eligibility.
If you are curious to know the status of your application, you can call Tele-Serv at 800-558-8321 and select option 2.
Alternatively, you may check your status online by going to Unemployment Benefits Services.
2-6. Consider filing an appeal, if necessary.
If your claim for unemployment benefits is denied by the state of Texas, you may choose to appeal. There are 3 levels of appeal. Start with the first level, which is a written notice to the Appeal Tribunal. If you disagree with the results of the Appeal Tribunal, you may appeal to the Commission.
An attorney is not required for the appeal process.
If you disagree with the Commission (the 2nd level of appeal) you may apply for a rehearing only if you meet certain criteria, such as the attainment of important new information about your case.
Tips
Keep all information related to unemployment benefit claims neatly organized and easily accessed.
Be aware that you must apply repeatedly every two weeks. If you are a day late they will not pay for that period.

2,212 | How to Apply for WES in Canada | 1. Completing Your Application
1-1. Try the WES academic equivalency tool to get a preview of your evaluation.
A full evaluation will cost you several hundred dollars. Before you order the evaluation, go to https://applications.wes.org/ca/degree-equivalency-tool/ and plug in your credentials. The tool will tell you what the equivalent is in Canada.
If your credentials won't be enough to access the work or educational opportunity you were seeking in Canada, it may not be worth it for you to order the full evaluation.
Using the equivalency tool also gives you a good idea of what to expect, so you can start looking at educational or employment opportunities that you're qualified for.
1-2. Get your list of required documents.
Go to https://www.wes.org/ca/required-documents/ and select the country where you were educated from the drop-down menu. Then select a level of education from the second drop-down menu. When you click the "View Requirements" button, you'll get a list of the documents you'll need to gather and submit to WES.
Print off the list and start writing down the names and addresses of the educational institutions you'll need to contact to get these documents.
Call ahead and make sure you can get the documents you'll need. You can also find out how long it will take the institution to produce the document so you can time your application.
1-3. Visit the WES website to set up your account.
Go to https://applications.wes.org/createaccount/ and select "Canada" to apply for an evaluation to immigrate to Canada or submit to a Canadian school or employer.
If you also want an evaluation for the US, you'll have to start over with a separate application.
1-4. Choose the type of evaluation you want.
You can choose between a standard application or an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA). If you are immigrating to Canada, the ECA is required for your visa application. There are also different levels of reporting:
A course-by-course evaluation looks at each of the courses you took and your grades, converted into Canadian grades. This type of evaluation may require additional documentation, such as copies of course syllabuses. A course-by-course evaluation is typically necessary if you're applying for a postgraduate degree at a Canadian university.
A document-by-document evaluation provides the Canadian equivalent of each of your credentials. This evaluation is typically required for employment or immigration.
If you are an accountant, you should also request a CPA supplemental report. This will help you register as a CPA in Canada.
1-5. Fill out your application.
The application requires you to provide details about your identity, the education you have, and the country or countries where you were educated. It will also ask for details about any professional licenses or certifications you have.
If you chose the standard application, you can also have credentials or degrees that are incomplete or still in progress evaluated. However, if you're getting the ECA evaluation for immigration purposes, you can only list completed degrees and credentials.
1-6. Choose recipients for your evaluation report.
If you already know the names of employers or educational institutions that you want to receive your report, you can include their names when you fill out your application. When your evaluation report is ready, it will be automatically sent to the recipients you list.
You can also have your report automatically sent to Canadian immigration. However, you may still need to send a copy of the report along with your visa application.
You aren't required to list recipients. If you don't have the names yet, you can skip this part. However, you'll be responsible for providing a copy of your report to any employers or educational institutions.
2. Submitting Your Application
2-1. Submit your application online.
When you've completed the information about yourself and your educational credentials, click the button to submit your application to WES. You will have a chance to review your order, which lists the type of evaluation you're ordering and the fee. You do not have to pay the fee immediately. However, WES won't start evaluating your credentials until payment is received.
When you submit your application, you'll receive your WES reference number. Write the number down and keep it in a safe place. You'll need it to order the required documents from the educational institutions you attended.
Your online account remains active and accessible even after you've submitted your application. You can still add recipients to your application or check your application's status.
If you decide you want to upgrade your application type — for example, if you chose a document-by-document evaluation and later want a course-by-course evaluation instead — you can do this at any point before your evaluation is complete. If you've already paid your fees, you simply have to pay the difference between the two.
2-2. Order the required documents from your educational institutions.
Contact the educational institutions that issued your credentials and request the required documents. There are different documents required for each country. Consult the required documents list available in your online WES account.
All documents must either be issued in English or translated into English. The documents must be placed in an official envelope of the educational institution, sealed, and the seal signed by an authorized official.
Provide each institution with your WES reference number. This reference number will be the first line of the address. Your WES reference number should also be included on each page of your documents, in case one of them gets separated.
2-3. Use a courier service to send the documents to WES in a sealed envelope.
WES recommends that you have the educational institutions you attended send your documents to WES directly, rather than sending them to you first. Tell them to use a courier service so the documents can be tracked until they reach their destination.
You might also ask the educational institutions to send copies of your documents to you as well. That way you'll have them for your records and can submit them to Canadian employers or educational institutions if asked.
2-4. Pay for your credential evaluation online.
At any time after submission, you can log in to your account and pay your evaluation fee. If you pay online, you have the option of using a major credit card or bank transfer through Western Union.
If you prefer to pay using a check or money order, you can select that option on the payment screen. Then, you can mail your payment to WES at the address shown on the page.
As of January 2020, fees range from $115 CAD to $245 CAD, plus delivery fees and 13% Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). Your order summary page will tell you the exact amount of fees you owe for your evaluation.
2-5. Check for status updates using your WES online account.
WES will not begin your evaluation until all of the required documents have been received from your educational institutions. You can follow the progress using your online account.
Depending on the type of evaluation you requested, your evaluation may take anywhere from a week to a month to complete after WES receives your documents.
3. Using Your Credential Evaluation
3-1. Indicate the Canadian equivalency of your credentials on your résumé.
When you write up your résumé to apply for Canadian jobs, use the Canadian equivalency for your international diplomas. That way, people who read your résumé will understand your educational background at a glance.
Include the name of your original degree along with a statement of its equivalency. For example, if your degree was determined to be the equivalent of a Canadian bachelor's degree, you might write: "Evaluated by World Education Services (WES) as equivalent to a Canadian 4-year bachelor degree."
3-2. Submit a copy of your evaluation when applying for a job.
Even though you include information about the equivalency on your résumé, a copy of the actual report supports your statement. This also gives the employer the opportunity to look over the evaluation for themselves and confirm that you have the right education for the job.
If a job requires specific skills or knowledge in addition to a degree, a course-by-course evaluation can also help show that you've studied in those areas. For example, if you have a degree in computer science, a course-by-course evaluation could show specifically what types of programming code you've learned.
3-3. Provide your evaluation to regulatory agencies for licensing.
If you work in a field that requires a professional license, your evaluation shows the regulatory agency that you have the required education. It would also show if you had a similar license in another country.
Make sure you have the correct evaluation for your professional license. For example, if you're an accountant, there's a separate CPA Supplement evaluation that you should also get so you can transfer your license to Canada.
3-4. Send your report along with transcripts when applying to an educational institution.
If you want to continue your education in Canada, the educational institution will want to see your report as well as your original transcripts from the educational institution that issued your degree. A course-by-course evaluation allows the admissions department to determine if you've had all the necessary courses to qualify for the program of study in Canada.
A course-by-course evaluation is also necessary if you want to continue a degree in Canada that you started in another country. Without this evaluation, you might end up having to retake courses.
Course-by-course evaluations also give Canadian educational institutions the information they need to determine if you'll get transfer credits towards your degree at the Canadian institution.
3-5. Immigrate through Express Entry with an educational credential assessment.
Canada offers Express Entry for highly qualified immigrants with specific educational credentials. An ECA from WES is a requirement to immigrate to Canada through this program.
If you qualify for Express Entry, you could get your visa and be ready to move to Canada in as little as six months. Without Express Entry, it could take years for your visa to be approved.
The ECA is the most comprehensive (and most expensive) of the credential evaluations offered by WES.

However, WES won't start evaluating your credentials until payment is received.\\nWhen you submit your application, you'll receive your WES reference number. Write the number down and keep it in a safe place. You'll need it to order the required documents from the educational institutions you attended.\\nYour online account remains active and accessible even after you've submitted your application. You can still add recipients to your application or check your application's status.\\nIf you decide you want to upgrade your application type — for example, if you chose a document-by-document evaluation and later want a course-by-course evaluation instead — you can do this at any point before your evaluation is complete. If you've already paid your fees, you simply have to pay the difference between the two.\\n2-2. Order the required documents from your educational institutions.\\nContact the educational institutions that issued your credentials and request the required documents. There are different documents required for each country. Consult the required documents list available in your online WES account.\\nAll documents must either be issued in English or translated into English. The documents must be placed in an official envelope of the educational institution, sealed, and the seal signed by an authorized official.\\nProvide each institution with your WES reference number. This reference number will be the first line of the address. Your WES reference number should also be included on each page of your documents, in case one of them gets separated.\\n2-3. Use a courier service to send the documents to WES in a sealed envelope.\\nWES recommends that you have the educational institutions you attended send your documents to WES directly, rather than sending them to you first. Tell them to use a courier service so the documents can be tracked until they reach their destination.\\nYou might also ask the educational institutions to send copies of your documents to you as well. That way you'll have them for your records and can submit them to Canadian employers or educational institutions if asked.\\n2-4. Pay for your credential evaluation online.\\nAt any time after submission, you can log in to your account and pay your evaluation fee. If you pay online, you have the option of using a major credit card or bank transfer through Western Union.\\nIf you prefer to pay using a check or money order, you can select that option on the payment screen. Then, you can mail your payment to WES at the address shown on the page.\\nAs of January 2020, fees range from $115 CAD to $245 CAD, plus delivery fees and 13% Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). Your order summary page will tell you the exact amount of fees you owe for your evaluation.\\n2-5.

You can follow the progress using your online account.\\nDepending on the type of evaluation you requested, your evaluation may take anywhere from a week to a month to complete after WES receives your documents.\\n3. Using Your Credential Evaluation\\n3-1. Indicate the Canadian equivalency of your credentials on your résumé.\\nWhen you write up your résumé to apply for Canadian jobs, use the Canadian equivalency for your international diplomas. That way, people who read your résumé will understand your educational background at a glance.\\nInclude the name of your original degree along with a statement of its equivalency. For example, if your degree was determined to be the equivalent of a Canadian bachelor's degree, you might write: \\\"Evaluated by World Education Services (WES) as equivalent to a Canadian 4-year bachelor degree.\\\"\\n3-2. Submit a copy of your evaluation when applying for a job.\\nEven though you include information about the equivalency on your résumé, a copy of the actual report supports your statement. This also gives the employer the opportunity to look over the evaluation for themselves and confirm that you have the right education for the job.\\nIf a job requires specific skills or knowledge in addition to a degree, a course-by-course evaluation can also help show that you've studied in those areas. For example, if you have a degree in computer science, a course-by-course evaluation could show specifically what types of programming code you've learned.\\n3-3. Provide your evaluation to regulatory agencies for licensing.\\nIf you work in a field that requires a professional license, your evaluation shows the regulatory agency that you have the required education. It would also show if you had a similar license in another country.\\nMake sure you have the correct evaluation for your professional license. For example, if you're an accountant, there's a separate CPA Supplement evaluation that you should also get so you can transfer your license to Canada.\\n3-4. Send your report along with transcripts when applying to an educational institution.\\nIf you want to continue your education in Canada, the educational institution will want to see your report as well as your original transcripts from the educational institution that issued your degree. A course-by-course evaluation allows the admissions department to determine if you've had all the necessary courses to qualify for the program of study in Canada.\\nA course-by-course evaluation is also necessary if you want to continue a degree in Canada that you started in another country. Without this evaluation, you might end up having to retake courses.\\nCourse-by-course evaluations also give Canadian educational institutions the information they need to determine if you'll get transfer credits towards your degree at the Canadian institution.\\n3-5. Immigrate through Express Entry with an educational credential assessment.\\nCanada offers Express Entry for highly qualified immigrants with specific educational credentials. An ECA from WES is a requirement to immigrate to Canada through this program.\\nIf you qualify for Express Entry, you could get your visa and be ready to move to Canada in as little as six months. Without Express Entry, it could take years for your visa to be approved.\\nThe ECA is the most comprehensive (and most expensive) of the credential evaluations offered by WES.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"World Education Services (WES) is one of 6 credential assessment agencies approved by the Canadian government to assess your educational credentials if you want to immigrate to Canada for work or study.
