2,213 | How to Apply for Work Study | 1. Filling out the FAFSA
1-1. Qualify for work-study employment.
Like any other type of student aid, work-study positions can be competitive and are often in short supply on college campuses. To qualify for a work-study position, you’ll need to be an American citizen. Qualification for work study also has relatively little to do with family income levels; even if you come from a higher-income family, you may still be awarded a work-study position based on academic merit or other factors.
The same principle applies to individuals whose families have saved money to pay for college tuition: this does not necessarily prohibit you from receiving a work-study position.
Even if you’re only attending college part-time, you may be able to qualify for a work-study position.
1-2. Fill out the FAFSA in advance of the upcoming school year.
In order for the application to be processed, money to be awarded, and the information to be communicated to your college, the annual FAFSA deadline comes well in advance of the school year for which the work-study positions will be awarded. Each year, the FAFSA deadline is on or around June 30th. Individual colleges and universities may have earlier deadlines.
You will need to complete a FAFSA form for every year that you need student aid. Even if you have been awarded a work-study position for one school year, you must fill out the FAFSA again for each subsequent year.
1-3. Log on to the Federal Student Aid (FSA) website.
To log on, you’ll need to either enter your name and other information (SSN and date of birth), or enter your FSA ID. The FSA ID is a unique username that you can use to identify yourself to the FSA website. If you do not already have an FSA ID, you can request one through the FSAID website.
If you have previously started filling out the FAFSA form, you may continue your current application as a returning user. Otherwise, start a new application if you have never applied for financial aid before.
If you’re returning to the FAFSA form, you’ll be asked to enter your 4-digit Save Key. This is another personal identification measure. Then click “NEXT.”
If you have not logged on to the FAFSA form before, you’ll be given a 4-digit Save Key. Write this number down so that you’ll have it if you need to login to the FAFSA page again.
1-4. Begin to complete the Financial Aid application.
Take your time going through the questions: answer every question carefully and correctly. Question #5 asks: “Are you interested in being considered for work-study?” Click the pull down arrow and select “Yes.” If you do not select “Yes” at this step, you will not be considered for a work study position.
Complete the necessary questions and then select “NEXT.”
1-5. Select the school(s) you want your FAFSA application sent to.
You can search schools by state, city, and school name, or with the federal school code. The college’s federal school code can be found easily online with a quick Google search. Remember to select the specific school you’re applying for a work-study position at. If you’re attending a large state school, it’s easy to click on the wrong university location.
Review the drop-down list of colleges and universities that accept financial aid. If you are applying for financial aid before making your decision about which college to attend, you can select up to five schools.
You must click the “ADD” button to officially select the school as a FAFSA recipient, or an Error message will appear.
1-6. Answer the questions regarding your dependency status.
These include questions about tax returns, and you may need information provided by your parents. Remember work study is not given to everyone that applies for it. The federal government decides who gets it based on need and income. Awards are also dispersed on a first-come, first-served basis, so once you make the decision to apply for work study, fill out the FAFSA application as soon as possible.
Answer the questions under the financial information tab, relating to annual income. After you complete the questions don’t forget to click “NEXT.”
1-7. Sign and submit the form.
To complete the FAFSA, fill out all of the required fields, and read and agree to the legal disclaimer. Enter your FAFSA ID and password, then click “SUBMIT MY FAFSA NOW.”
Make sure you save your confirmation number. This number should also be sent to you in an email.
1-8. Wait to receive your financial-aid package.
You won’t be awarded financial aid, including a work-study offer, immediately after submitting your FAFSA—the application takes time to be processed. If you were approved for work study you will see “Work Study” in your Financial Aid Award on your school’s website before your next school year starts.
If you have applied for a work-study but haven’t received permission to register by August 1st, contact your school’s Financial Aid department.
2. Deciding on a Work-Study Position
2-1. Review a listing of work-study jobs.
Filling out the FAFSA form and receiving work-study permission does not guarantee a job. Once you’ve been approved for work study, you’ll need to look for employment as you would for a regular job, by finding and applying for available jobs. Most universities will have a listing of work study positions on their Financial Aid web page.
If you’re struggling to find a list of open work study positions, contact your school’s Financial Aid office.
It’s best to look into these positions early—popular jobs will fill up more quickly than less desirable opportunities.
Keep in mind that the overall amount of money you can earn in a year will be set by the federal government as a result of the FAFSA process. Your hourly rate may be set by your work-study supervisor, and some positions will pay more than others.
2-2. Decide if you want to work on campus or off campus.
While the majority of work-study positions will be on campus, there will likely be some employment opportunities off of campus. These positions are federally required to benefit the public interest, so you may see job listings for local nonprofits and public agencies.
Examples of on-campus work study positions include: administrative assistant, bus driver, research assistant, and janitorial staff/cleanup crew.
Examples of off-campus work study positions include: tutoring local elementary school children, working the reference desk in a public library, or serving as an administrative assistant at a nonprofit organization.
2-3. Look for positions that are close to your major or personal interests.
Work study can be a great opportunity to find a job in a field relevant to your own academic interests—for example, your own department may be hiring an administrative or research assistant. A work-study position can prepare you for post-college employment, so it’s smart to apply for a position similar to a job you’d like after graduation.
You should always apply for more than one position, in case the first position fills up quickly.
If you’re at a large university, there will be thousands of students applying for work-study positions. Apply for several to increase your chances of employment.
3. Applying for a Work Study Job
3-1. Apply for work study jobs online.
This will be slightly different for every university, as each school’s online application process will differ. You will apply for work-study positions through your school’s Financial Aid website.
You may be asked to fill out an individual application for each work-study position, or to upload your resume to a web page from which various potential employers can access it.
It's always good to apply to a handful of things to see how many you get, since the decision is not really up to you. Apply to at least three or four so that you can have a few options to choose from if you're approved.
3-2. Interview for the position.
If a work-study employer accepts your application, the next step will be going in for an interview. Handle this interview as you would any other: be professional and present yourself well. Answer each question thoroughly, and view this interview as an opportunity to present yourself as a dedicated student who will use this opportunity to develop your professional interests and benefit your employer.
During the interview, you should also have the opportunity to discuss your work schedule. Figure out how many hours you can work per week, and make sure that your work schedule fits in with your academic schedule.
Repeat this step as necessary. The first employer that interviews you may decide not to hire you. Alternatively, if you’re invited to interview for multiple work-study positions, you may want to take as many interviews as possible and then weigh each position against the others.
3-3. Complete any necessary paperwork.
Since your funding will be coming from the Federal government, there may be extra paperwork to complete after your interview. You’ll likely need to visit your university’s HR department to fill out paperwork which will later be used for tax purposes.
3-4. Be prepared for an alternative process.
Colleges and universities can differ markedly in their handling of work-study application, interview, and hiring processes. At some, the process may be less formal than described in previous steps; employers may reach out and contact students directly, or the job-application process may be done in person rather than electronically.
Be ready to take advantage of opportunities that arise in your academic department or that you hear about through friends. Don’t hesitate to ask professors if they know of any open work-study positions, and ask already employed acquaintances if there are openings in their workplace.
Tips
When logging in to the Federal Student Aid website, make sure that you have your Social Security number (SSN; the nine digit number that the government uses to identify people) available. You may also need your parents’ SSN numbers and tax returns.[14]

2,214 | How to Apply for Workers Compensation | 1. Satisfying Requirements
1-1. Check to see that you work for a covered employer.
Generally, an “employer” is a person or organization that has employees. Most employers pay into a state workers’ compensation fund. Exceptions include:
Federal employees. Federal employees are not covered by state workers’ compensation systems. Instead, they are covered by the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act, which outlines its own method of processing and adjudicating workers’ compensation claims that is unique to federal workers.
Maritime workers (e.g., longshore workers) who are injured or killed on the job may be protected by the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act as opposed to state workers’ compensation laws.
Native American organizations are typically not considered “employers” for workers’ compensation claims.
1-2. Confirm that you sustained a qualifying injury.
You can only draw workers’ compensation benefits if you sustained a qualifying injury. A qualifying injury is one that was “work related.” Generally speaking, a “work related” injury is one sustained in the course and scope of employment.
For example, if a delivery driver strains his back while picking up a heavy box during a delivery, then the injury arose out of employment because picking up heavy boxes was a contributing cause of the injury.
However, if a delivery driver strains her back while moving her child into a dorm room, then that injury falls outside the scope of employment.
Workers’ compensation rules will vary by state. Some states preclude workers from claiming work-related stress injuries. Some states, however, permit recovery for psychiatric stress injuries. You will need to talk to an attorney to find out precisely what rules apply to your situation.
1-3. Gather medical documents.
You should hold onto copies of all medical reports and notes related to your injury. Create a binder and keep it in a secure location. These documents will be necessary later.
1-4. Understand what benefits are available.
Depending on your injury, there are a variety of benefits that workers may be eligible to receive. The following is only a partial list:
medical care for injury or illness
temporary disability benefits to replace wages while you recover
permanent disability benefits intended to compensate individuals with a reduced working capacity
job displacement benefits to pay for job training
death or burial benefits
1-5. Calculate benefits.
Generally, states use a formula to determine benefit amounts. There is usually a cap on the amount of benefits you may receive. Also the amount you’ll receive may depend on when you were injured and whether you are temporarily or permanently disabled.
Some states provide online calculators you can use to get a rough estimate of what your benefits might be. Colorado, for example, has a calculator available here.
Some states will reduce the benefit amount if the disability can be attributed to other, non-work factors that contributed to the worker’s permanent disability.
2. Filing a Claim
2-1. Report your injury as soon as it happens.
When you become injured, let your employer know as soon as possible that you have been hurt. Your employer should give you the forms that you need to fill out.
You have a limited amount of time to inform your employer of the injury. If you miss the deadline, then you may lose your eligibility. The amount of time differs by state. Oklahoma workers, for example, have 30 days to report the injury. New Hampshire workers, by contrast, have 2 years.
To be safe, you should report as soon as possible—preferably within a week, unless you know for certain what your state deadline is.
If you are the member of a union, then you should tell your union representative of the injury as soon as possible. In many states, employers and unions have created labor-management “carve-outs” which are alternative systems for adjudicating workers’ compensation claims and processing benefits.
2-2. Follow up with your employer.
You want to guarantee that your employer has filed the necessary claims and paperwork on your behalf. After you have completed the required formalities, check in with your employer to make certain they have indeed filed the claim.
2-3. Visit your doctor.
A medical professional will likely have to verify your claims of injury, and he or she will also be required to fill out some standard paperwork. Double check these documents to make sure they specify that you were indeed hurt on the job and the injury occurred in the workplace.
Your employer may provide workers’ compensation medical care through a workers’ compensation health network. If so, you must visit a doctor in the network. If so, ask your employer for a list of providers.
Some states have a list of doctors who are prohibited from treating people seeking workers’ compensation benefits. Your employer should also have a list; if not, check with your state’s Department of Labor.
2-4. Follow the doctor’s advice.
It will be most prudent to follow the doctor’s advice, so that no questions can be raised that your injury has been aggravated by your own conduct.
Be sure to attend all appointments and reschedule ones that you can’t make. Also take prescribed medicines and attend physical therapy.
2-5. Wait to hear from the claims administrator.
After your employer files the paperwork with its insurer, you must wait to find out whether your employer’s insurance carrier has accepted or denied your claim.
If you have been denied benefits, then you will receive a denial letter. If you are awarded benefits, then the letter should specify what next steps you must follow to set up payments.
3. Appealing a Denial
3-1. Read your denial letter.
The letter will have at least 3 pieces of critical information: why you were denied, a description of the appeals process, and deadlines for bringing an appeal. You must identify these pieces of information and underline them.
Workers’ compensation claims are denied for a variety of reason. The most common are: you did not report the injury within the required time, the injury is not severe enough, or the injury was not sustained on the job.
Pay particular attention to deadlines. You often will be given only a month to bring the appeal, if not less. If you want to appeal, you should begin immediately.
3-2. Hire a lawyer.
Being denied workers’ compensation benefits when you are injured is a stressful experience, and bringing an appeal only adds to the stress. The appeals process is complicated, varies by state, and requires that you learn confusing rules of evidence, which could take months. Hiring an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer can streamline the process and bolster your appeal.
Bring a copy of your denial letter as well as all of your medical information to the lawyer, who will need copies of this information for your appeal. And promptly gather any other information your attorney needs. Delays will only delay the appeal process.
Private attorneys will work on a contingency basis. This means they are paid only if they win your case. Generally, the attorney will take around 20% of your benefit amount. The amount is often capped by state law.
Under a contingency arrangement, you will still have to pay for costs. Typical costs include filing fees, expert witness fees, and money spent on photocopying and mailing. Try to get an estimate of these costs upfront.
3-3. Find the form to appeal.
This goes by various names, depending on the state. In Michigan, it is called an “Application for Hearing.” In Arizona, you must file a “Hearing Request form.” Your denial letter should tell you where to locate this form.
Federal workers may appeal in three ways: by requesting a hearing, by appealing to the Appeals Board, or by applying for reconsideration.
Each federal appeal requires different things from the employee. In a hearing, you simply request that the hearing representative review the claim. The hearing representative may agree to give you benefits or confirm the initial decision. When appealing to the Employee’s Compensation Appeals Board, you may not provide new evidence; rather, the Appeals Board makes a determination based on the claim’s record. With a Request of Reconsideration, you and your attorney submit either new evidence or new legal arguments.
3-4. File the form before the deadline.
You should always send by certified mail. In this way you will have a receipt for your records.
4. Preparing for Your Trial
4-1. Read the answer.
Your employer and its insurance company will probably respond to your appeal and explain why your claim should be denied. The answer provides a sneak peek as to what their argument will be on appeal.
Although an insurance company may the party that ultimately pays out any compensation benefits, your employer always retains a stake in the outcome of your case because it will incur higher insurance premiums if you win. Therefore, your employer will likely be involved at all stages: it will answer your complaint, attend the trial, and have a representative testify.
Understand the terminology. In other areas of law, a “trial” and an “appeal” are distinct events. For example, in the criminal arena, no witnesses appear at the appeal. Instead, an attorney writes a legal brief and no new evidence is admitted. However, in the workers’ compensation arena, the “appeal” is like a trial: witnesses are questioned and evidence is presented to an administrative law judge (ALJ) or to an appeals board.
4-2. Undergo a medical evaluation.
You may be required to undergo an independent medical examination (IME). Your employer or its insurance carrier may request it. The purpose is for an independent physician to identify the cause of the injury as well as the extent of the disability.
In some states, the workers’ compensation claims board can request an IME. If you have an attorney, then the IME is scheduled per agreement between the insurance company and your attorney.
Though you and your lawyer can object to the IME, an objection will often be interpreted as a concession that the injury isn’t as severe as you are claiming.
Try to have a friend or family member go with you. By having someone go with you, you will have a witness in case the doctor testifies that you said or did something that you didn’t do.
4-3. Research prior published decisions.
Some states publish written appellate decisions involving workers’ compensation claims. Kansas, for example, has a database. You should look to see if your state has a database of decisions.
Read up on other cases similar to yours. For example, if you were denied workers’ compensation benefits because your condition was “preexisting,” then you could research any prior appellate decisions that discussed preexisting conditions.
A case where an appeal was granted in a factually-similar case is strong evidence in your favor that your claim is valid.
Your attorney will be skilled in researching prior decisions. Ask her for copies of any decisions so you can read them.
4-4. Gather relevant evidence.
At the trial, you will need to present evidence that supports your claim to have been injured on the job. Typically, the most effective witnesses will be medical professionals who can testify to your injuries and co-workers who may have seen the injury occur.
Your state law may or may not provide for subpoena power. If it does, then you can get a blank subpoena form from your workers’ compensation board. Serving a subpoena is a way to assure a witness’s attendance.
Fill in the subpoena form with the witness’s name and address. Then fill in where the witness is commanded to appear (i.e., where the hearing will be held) as well as the date and time of the hearing.
Mail the subpoena using certified mail. Give the witness plenty of time (at least several weeks) to rearrange her schedule in order to attend.
4-5. Prepare to testify.
You will be called to testify about the injury: how it happened and the extent of your disability. To make sure you are an effective witness, you should:
Ask your attorney to do a practice run. Have your attorney pepper you with hard questions to familiarize you with the process.
Review your summary of the event. Shortly after being injured, you should have jotted down what happened and how. Review this information to refresh your memory.
4-6. Attend a pre-trial hearing.
Generally, the first appeal is held before an administrative law judge (ALJ) or a state appeals board. The ALJ may call you in for a pre-trial hearing. The purpose of the hearing is to make sure the parties are prepared for trial.
If you have any questions, you should ask them at that time. For example, you should ask if the other side has turned over copies of their witness list or the medical reports they intend to use.
5. Attending the Trial
5-1. Arrive promptly.
You do not want to be late. If you are unfamiliar with where the trial is being held, then give yourself an extra hour to find parking and go through any security.
Trials are rarely held at court houses. Rather, they are usually held at the offices of the workers’ compensation board.
Dress neatly. Look professional but comfortable. You do not have to wear a suit if it makes you feel awkward.
5-2. Deliver an opening statement.
The opening statement will be less formal than in a trial before a jury. Here, the attorneys will clarify for the judge what issues the parties have agreed on (such as your date of employment) and what issues are in dispute (such as whether you were injured on the job).
5-3. Testify.
You undoubtedly will be called to testify. After you swear an oath, your lawyer will ask you questions about how the injury happened. Speak loudly and to the judge.
You should have practiced your trial testimony with your attorney. She cannot ask you leading questions (i.e., questions that contain the answer). But she can ask more general questions: “Where were you on the morning of…?” “Did you hurt yourself?”
You will also be cross-examined. If you read you’re the answer, then you should have a good idea of what questions the other side will ask. For example, if your employer or the insurance company claims you were injured while on vacation, you should anticipate detailed questions about where you went and what you did.
5-4. Deliver a closing argument.
Your lawyer should briefly explain how the evidence presented supports your legal right to workers’ compensation benefits. He will also rebut the other side’s arguments.
5-5. Await the decision.
The ALJ or appeals board will typically draft a written decision. You will receive it by mail.
Sometimes an appeals board will review the ALJ’s written order and either adopt its finding or send it back for reconsideration.
5-6. Discuss next steps with your lawyer.
If your claim is denied at the hearing, then an appeal of the denial is possible. Discuss whether or not another appeal is worthwhile and whether your attorney will handle it.
Appeals can also be handled on contingency. However, you may have to sign a new client agreement, which redefines the scope of the representation.
Tips
Don’t worry if the IME physician is abrupt or uninterested in your condition. Examinations often run only 10 minutes. Any bad medical evaluation can be challenged at the trial.
Treat everyone with respect at the trial. The judge will form a strong impression of your credibility simply from how you comport yourself.
Make copies of all your documentation. Acquiring workers’ compensation from a job entails huge amounts of paperwork; it is possible that something will get lost in the shuffle. Photocopy or request photocopies of every form you fill out, every claim you make, and every description of the accident you write. Also obtain copies of your medical records and, if possible, any forms your doctor completed in regard to your condition.
Warnings
Be prepared for a potential struggle. Workers compensation claims are very costly to employers, and many employers will go to great lengths to avoid paying out to an injured employee. In learning how to get workers compensation from a job, understand that this is a legal process and will take a fair amount of time and energy. Your relationship with your employer may become adversarial.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Satisfying Requirements\\n1-1. Check to see that you work for a covered employer.\\nGenerally, an “employer” is a person or organization that has employees. Most employers pay into a state workers’ compensation fund. Exceptions include:\\nFederal employees. Federal employees are not covered by state workers’ compensation systems. Instead, they are covered by the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act, which outlines its own method of processing and adjudicating workers’ compensation claims that is unique to federal workers.\\nMaritime workers (e.g., longshore workers) who are injured or killed on the job may be protected by the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act as opposed to state workers’ compensation laws.\\nNative American organizations are typically not considered “employers” for workers’ compensation claims.\\n1-2. Confirm that you sustained a qualifying injury.\\nYou can only draw workers’ compensation benefits if you sustained a qualifying injury. A qualifying injury is one that was “work related.” Generally speaking, a “work related” injury is one sustained in the course and scope of employment.\\nFor example, if a delivery driver strains his back while picking up a heavy box during a delivery, then the injury arose out of employment because picking up heavy boxes was a contributing cause of the injury.\\nHowever, if a delivery driver strains her back while moving her child into a dorm room, then that injury falls outside the scope of employment.\\nWorkers’ compensation rules will vary by state. Some states preclude workers from claiming work-related stress injuries. Some states, however, permit recovery for psychiatric stress injuries. You will need to talk to an attorney to find out precisely what rules apply to your situation.\\n1-3. Gather medical documents.\\nYou should hold onto copies of all medical reports and notes related to your injury. Create a binder and keep it in a secure location. These documents will be necessary later.\\n1-4. Understand what benefits are available.\\nDepending on your injury, there are a variety of benefits that workers may be eligible to receive.

Calculate benefits.\\nGenerally, states use a formula to determine benefit amounts. There is usually a cap on the amount of benefits you may receive. Also the amount you’ll receive may depend on when you were injured and whether you are temporarily or permanently disabled.\\nSome states provide online calculators you can use to get a rough estimate of what your benefits might be. Colorado, for example, has a calculator available here.\\nSome states will reduce the benefit amount if the disability can be attributed to other, non-work factors that contributed to the worker’s permanent disability.\\n2. Filing a Claim\\n2-1. Report your injury as soon as it happens.\\nWhen you become injured, let your employer know as soon as possible that you have been hurt. Your employer should give you the forms that you need to fill out.\\nYou have a limited amount of time to inform your employer of the injury. If you miss the deadline, then you may lose your eligibility. The amount of time differs by state. Oklahoma workers, for example, have 30 days to report the injury.

This means they are paid only if they win your case. Generally, the attorney will take around 20% of your benefit amount. The amount is often capped by state law.\\nUnder a contingency arrangement, you will still have to pay for costs. Typical costs include filing fees, expert witness fees, and money spent on photocopying and mailing. Try to get an estimate of these costs upfront.\"}, {\"编号\": 3, \"标题\": \"Find the form to appeal.\", \"描述\": \"This goes by various names, depending on the state. In Michigan, it is called an “Application for Hearing.” In Arizona, you must file a “Hearing Request form.” Your denial letter should tell you where to locate this form.\\nFederal workers may appeal in three ways: by requesting a hearing, by appealing to the Appeals Board, or by applying for reconsideration.\\nEach federal appeal requires different things from the employee. In a hearing, you simply request that the hearing representative review the claim. The hearing representative may agree to give you benefits or confirm the initial decision. When appealing to the Employee’s Compensation Appeals Board, you may not provide new evidence; rather, the Appeals Board makes a determination based on the claim’s record. With a Request of Reconsideration, you and your attorney submit either new evidence or new legal arguments.\"}, {\"编号\": 4, \"标题\": \"File the form before the deadline.\", \"描述\": \"You should always send by certified mail. In this way you will have a receipt for your records.\"}]}, {\"编号\": 4, \"标题\": \"Preparing for Your Trial\", \"步骤\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Read the answer.\", \"描述\": \"Your employer and its insurance company will probably respond to your appeal and explain why your claim should be denied. The answer provides a sneak peek as to what their argument will be on appeal.\\nAlthough an insurance company may the party that ultimately pays out any compensation benefits, your employer always retains a stake in the outcome of your case because it will incur higher insurance premiums if you win. Therefore, your employer will likely be involved at all stages: it will answer your complaint, attend the trial, and have a representative testify.\\nUnderstand the terminology. In other areas of law, a “trial” and an “appeal” are distinct events. For example, in the criminal arena, no witnesses appear at the appeal. Instead, an attorney writes a legal brief and no new evidence is admitted. However, in the workers’ compensation arena, the “appeal” is like a trial: witnesses are questioned and evidence is presented to an administrative law judge (ALJ) or to an appeals board.\"}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Undergo a medical evaluation.\", \"描述\": \"You may be required to undergo an independent medical examination (IME). Your employer or its insurance carrier may request it. The purpose is for an independent physician to identify the cause of the injury as well as the extent of the disability.\\nIn some states, the workers’ compensation claims board can request an IME. If you have an attorney, then the IME is scheduled per agreement between the insurance company and your attorney.\\nThough you and your lawyer can object to the IME, an objection will often be interpreted as a concession that the injury isn’t as severe as you are claiming.\\nTry to have a friend or family member go with you. By having someone go with you, you will have a witness in case the doctor testifies that you said or did something that you didn’t do.\"}, {\"编号\": 3, \"标题\": \"Research prior published decisions.\", \"描述\": \"Some states publish written appellate decisions involving workers’ compensation claims. Kansas, for example, has a database. You should look to see if your state has a database of decisions.\\nRead up on other cases similar to yours. For example, if you were denied workers’ compensation benefits because your condition was “preexisting,” then you could research any prior appellate decisions that discussed preexisting conditions.\\nA case where an appeal was granted in a factually-similar case is strong evidence in your favor that your claim is valid.\\nYour attorney will be skilled in researching prior decisions. Ask her for copies of any decisions so you can read them.\"}, {\"编号\": 4, \"标题\": \"Gather relevant evidence.\", \"描述\": \"At the trial, you will need to present evidence that supports your claim to have been injured on the job.

Examinations often run only 10 minutes. Any bad medical evaluation can be challenged at the trial.\\n\", \"Treat everyone with respect at the trial. The judge will form a strong impression of your credibility simply from how you comport yourself.\\n\", \"Make copies of all your documentation. Acquiring workers’ compensation from a job entails huge amounts of paperwork; it is possible that something will get lost in the shuffle. Photocopy or request photocopies of every form you fill out, every claim you make, and every description of the accident you write. Also obtain copies of your medical records and, if possible, any forms your doctor completed in regard to your condition.\\n\"], \"注意事项\": [\"Be prepared for a potential struggle. Workers compensation claims are very costly to employers, and many employers will go to great lengths to avoid paying out to an injured employee. In learning how to get workers compensation from a job, understand that this is a legal process and will take a fair amount of time and energy. Your relationship with your employer may become adversarial.\\n\"]}]}}",

2,215 | How to Apply for a Best Buy Credit Card | 1. Applying for a Credit Card Online
1-1. Meet the minimum qualifications.
Before you apply for a Best Buy credit card, you should know in advance that you need to be at least 18 years of age in the United States (at least 21 years of age in Puerto Rico). You must also have a Social Security Number and a driver's license or government-issued photo ID.
You must also have at least a 128-bit security encrypted enabled browser and a printer or storage drive to view and keep a copy of the Best Buy terms and conditions, disclosures, and privacy notice. If you do not have access to a printer or storage device, you can request a hard copy of the disclosures and privacy policy by writing to Credit Program, P.O. Box 6403 Sioux Falls, SD 57117-6403.
Please note that meeting these minimum qualifications does not guarantee that your application will be approved. It simply means that you are able to move forward and begin the application process.
1-2. Create a BestBuy.com account.
The first step to applying for a store credit card is to go to BestBuy.com and create a Best Buy account. If you've already created a BestBuy.com account, you can simply sign in through the store's website. If this is your first time creating an account, you'll need to include personal information to create the account and determine your eligibility, including:
first and last name
email address
phone number
the password of your choosing
My Best Buy member ID (if you already have one)
1-3. Complete the application.
Once you've created an account through the Best Buy website, you can proceed to the application. You will be redirected to the form through Citigroup Inc., or you can navigate to the application by going to BestBuy.com, clicking the "credit cards" tab at the top of the page, and selecting "apply now." The form will ask you for personal, financial, and security information, including:
your email address
your full name
your home address (no P.O. boxes permitted)
your phone number
your annual income
your monthly mortgage or rent payments
your date of birth
your social security number
your driver's license or government-issued photo ID number
the expiration date of your photo ID
1-4. Choose your type of card.
Once you've completed the application, you will either be approved or denied. If you are approved, then you will be asked to choose which type of card you want: the My Best Buy credit card (store card), or the My Best Buy Visa card.
Both cards offer the same in-store rewards and promotional financing offers. The Best Buy Visa Card offers additional rewards on other everyday purchases outside of Best Buy.
1-5. Agree to interest rates and fees.
Once you've finalized your application and chosen your desired card, you'll need to agree to the Best Buy interest rates, charges, and fees. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) on purchases will vary somewhat depending on the current market rate, but will generally be around 25.49%. Interest charges are a minimum of $2, though they may be much higher.
Interest is applied whenever payments are overdue. The due date for payments is at least 25 days after each billing cycle ends.
Late fees and fees for returned payments can be up to $37.
1-6. Await your new card.
If your application is approved, your card will be sent through the mail. It should arrive within 7 to 14 days of your application's approval.
Approval online is fairly quick. You should know within a minute whether or not you've been approved.
2. Getting a Credit Card In-Store
2-1. Find a Best Buy near you.
If you want to apply in-store but don't know where the nearest location is, you can find out online. Simply go to the Best Buy website and navigate your cursor to the upper right-hand corner of the web page. Click on the Store Locator tab and enter your ZIP code or city and state to find locations near you.
2-2. Fill out an application.
The in-store application will ask for the same information as the online application. You'll need to provide your name and address, contact information, and basic financial information for the store to determine whether you will qualify for a credit card.
The in-store application may take a bit longer, as the store will have to cross-check your paper application with online credit reports and confirm your identity. Otherwise, the two applications will be essentially the same. It's mostly a matter of preference between applying online or in store.
2-3. Choose your type of card.
As part of the application, you'll be asked to choose which type of card you are interested in. Just as with the online application, both the My Best Buy credit card (store card) and the Best Buy Visa card offer the same in-store rewards.
2-4. Receive your new card.
If you are approved for a Best Buy credit card, it will be sent through the mail. Just like the online application process, a card offered after an in-store application will most likely arrive within seven to 14 days of the application's approval.
Tips
If you don't want to apply online, you can visit a Best Buy store to apply for a credit card in person. Fill out a paper version of the Best Buy credit card application with a customer service representative.
The paper application follows the same format as the online application, but may take longer for approval. Online applications are approved or denied almost instantly.

2,216 | How to Apply for a Bursary | 1. Qualifying for a Bursary
1-1. Find out whether a given institution offers a bursary program.
Not all schools provide funds for fee relief. To learn if the one you or your child are hoping to attend does, call the admissions office or visit the enrollment section of the institution’s website for more information. There, you’ll find answers to whatever questions you may have about the process.
Run a quick search to pull up a comprehensive list of schools and universities near you that advertise bursary programs.
If you or your child are already enrolled in a school that doesn't offer fee relief, consider transferring to another school for future terms courses.
1-2. Apply to your school of choice.
Once you’ve identified an institution that offers non-performative financial assistance, your next step is to submit a formal application. Bursaries are typically only granted to students aged 16 and up who are currently enrolled or have begun the formal application process and are awaiting notification of acceptance.
In some cases, students who are between the ages of 16-19 may have to have a parent submit an application on their behalf.
When applying to university, you’ll need to provide copies of your or your child's final academic records for Grades 11 and 12.
You don’t need to actually be enrolled at a certain school in order to apply for a bursary from them. By the same token, you may seek a bursary from a school that you're currently enrolled in even if you haven't applied or qualified previously.
1-3. Read up on the school’s bursary qualification standards.
Eligibility guidelines can vary from one program to the next. Generally, however, your chances of approval will be decided by your income level and inability to afford things like tuition, lodging, and materials on your own.
The total expense that an institution is willing to cover might also depend on other factors, such as your or your child’s grade level, field of study, course load, or area of residence.
1-4. Consider applying for a scholarship if you're in good academic standing.
If you or your child have historically tested well or received high marks, there’s a chance you could qualify for a traditional scholarship instead of a bursary. This could be a lifesaver if you don’t meet the financial requirements for a bursary but still need help paying for school.
Scholarships are often awarded based on past academic performance or the results of a rigorous entrance exam.
Exceptional marks could qualify you or your child for both an academic scholarship and a bursary. Between the two, you could manage to get as much as 100% of your school-related expenses covered.
Bursaries are a non-performative source of funding, which means things like marks aren't important as long as the school thinks you or your child has something to offer.
2. Completing the Application Process
2-1. Check the school’s application deadlines before applying.
Review the financial aid information listed on the institution’s website to find the cut-off date for the bursary you’re seeking. You won’t be able to submit an application or be considered for fee relief after this time.
Most schools ask that students have their bursary applications in by the end of the preceding term. If you need help paying for Spring 2020, for example, you’ll need to submit your application no later than the final weeks of Fall 2019.
Don’t wait until the last minute to apply. Due to high demand, bursaries are usually fulfilled on a first come, first served basis.
2-2. Create an account for the school’s online services system.
These days, most bursary applications are managed digitally. Visit the registration or bursary application section of the website of the school you’re applying to and click on the option to create a new account. You’ll be prompted to select a custom username and password in order to log in.
If you or your child are already enrolled at the school you’re applying to, you may also need to enter certain student credentials or other information when you register.
It might be possible to apply in person or via mail if you don’t have internet access. Get in touch with the school’s admissions office to request a physical application and kickstart the process.
2-3. Fill out and submit a bursary application form.
Provide your or your child’s full name, birth date, and current address. Then, specify the recipient student's grade level, field of study, and the particular bursary you’re applying for (if they’re offered individually). The form will also ask for an email address and phone number at which you can reliably be reached.
If it’s your first time applying for a bursary, the institution may require you to attach some form of personal identification, such a driver’s license, birth certificate, or passport.
2-4. Furnish whatever financial documents the institution requests.
Along with your application, you’ll be expected to send in certain records that confirm your need for financial assistance. These may include income-related files like tax forms or bank statements, property value assessments, and copies of any pensions, savings, and other assets you possess.
You could even be contacted by a bursary officer to schedule a time for a home inspection if the school thinks it’s necessary to verify your financial situation.
To be approved for a bursary, you must be able to demonstrate your need for financial assistance on paper.
3. Claiming Your Bursary Funds
3-1. Wait to hear about the status of your application.
After you send off your application and all other relevant documents, they’ll be processed by a special committee that’s responsible for deciding which students are qualified for assistance. It could take weeks or even months for them to get back to you, so be patient. You’ll be notified by email about whether your application has been approved or rejected.
Check your email regularly to make sure you don’t miss any important updates.
In the event that your application is denied, you won't be eligible to receive financial aid for any classes you or your child attend. Furthermore, you'll have to wait until the following course or term to apply for a bursary again.
3-2. Be prepared to sit for a follow-up interview if asked.
In the majority of cases, the bursary committee will simply review your information in light of the institution’s eligibility guidelines and make a determination. At some schools, a bursary officer may request to meet with you in person to discuss the details of your application or financial records.
If you’re called in for an interview, it will most likely be to confirm certain details or clear up some small inconsistency.
Parents of prospective students may be interviewed to answer complex financial or legal questions that the student can't.
3-3. Check your student account for your bursary refund.
The funds that you or your child are awarded may be credited to a school account, or it may be sent to you directly in the form of a check or reimbursement certificate. This money can be used to pay for tuition, reserve lodging, or buy books, uniforms, and other materials as outlined in the provisions of the specific bursary.
If you receive a reimbursement certificate through the institution’s online services or email, you’ll need to print it out and present it to a cashier in person at the school before the money is actually handed over to you.
3-4. Reapply for your bursary as needed at the end of the specified period.
Some schools require students to apply for bursaries individually after each course or term completed. Be sure to get your or your child's application in by the due date listed on your school’s website to continue receiving the help you need. Your child may also be able to apply on their own if they reach the minimum required age by the time the deadline rolls around.
The expenses offset by subsequent reimbursements may differ according to the institution’s policies—you or your child might receive a 90% bursary for one course or term and only 70% for the next.
You’re more likely to be approved for additional relief if you or your child work hard and make an effort to remain in good academic standing.
Tips
When you receive your bursary notice, you’ll be issued a tax slip stating that the money is fully or partially deductible. Be sure to hold onto this slip for when it comes time to file your taxes.
Warnings
Keep in mind that bursaries are intended as a supplementary form of financial aid. As a result, they may not pay 100% of your tuition or other school-related expenses.

2,217 | How to Apply for a CCW in California | 1. Completing an Application
1-1. Check if you qualify.
You aren’t entitled to a CCW license. In order to qualify, you’ll need to satisfy the following requirements, so check ahead of time:
You have good moral character.
You have good cause for the license.
You reside in the county where you are applying, or the business where you spend a substantial amount of time is in the county.
You complete an approved firearms training course.
You haven’t been convicted of a felony or certain misdemeanors.
You aren’t addicted to narcotics and haven't been diagnosed as mentally ill.
You haven’t lost your gun rights because of a domestic violence conviction.
You are at least 21 years of age. (Some states make exceptions for those under 21.)
1-2. Contact your county sheriff’s office.
There is no central office that awards CCW licenses. Instead, you must contact your county sheriff’s office. They should provide you with a checklist of documents or another handout that explains the application process.
If you live in an incorporated city, you can also apply with the police department for that city.
1-3. Read the restrictions.
You’ll need to provide a signed acknowledgement of restrictions as part of your application. Accordingly, read up on what California law requires of those with a CCW license. You can find this information in Section 4 of the application.
For example, you can’t consume alcohol while carrying your weapon or be in a bar with the weapon.
You also must show the license to an officer when requested.
1-4. Gather the required documents.
The sheriff’s office will request certain documents from you. Refer to your application instructions. For example, in Riverside County, you’ll need to provide the following:
birth certificate or naturalization papers
color copy of a valid driver’s license
proof that you live in the county (e.g., utility bills)
military discharge DD214 (if applicable)
two recent passport photos
employer statement and signed approval (if applying for your job)
proof of employer-employee relationship (if applying for your job)
1-5. Obtain your character references.
Your county might require reference letters from people who know you. Don’t choose family members or employers as your references. The person writing the letter should include their contact information and explain that they are aware you are applying for a CCW permit.
1-6. Complete the California DOJ application.
The California Department of Justice has a standard initial application you must complete. You can download the form and type in your information. Use additional pages if you need extra space.
Complete sections 1 through 5.
Ask whether you should complete the other sections in the presence of an official. Each county is a little bit different in what they require.
1-7. Explain your good cause for the license.
Good cause is difficult to prove unless you are applying for the license as part of a job. For example, you might want to carry a weapon for personal safety because someone has physically threatened you. Depending on your county, this might not be sufficient reason. On your application, go into as much detail as possible, including the following details:
dates and times of any incident
the location of the incident
names of police or other authorities involved
copies of police reports or restraining orders
verified statements from witnesses
1-8. Submit your application.
In some counties, you’ll submit the application online. In other counties, you’ll submit the application when you attend your interview. Read your county’s instructions to see how you should submit.
You may also need to scan and upload supporting documents, such as your utility bill or birth certificate.
2. Attending an Interview
2-1. Prepare for your interview.
After you submit your application, you’ll schedule an interview. To prepare, read the questions in Section 7 of the application and prepare your answers.
For example, you’ll be asked whether you have ever been in a mental institution or if you’ve ever been addicted to alcohol or drugs.
You’ll also be asked about any criminal history involving firearms and domestic violence.
Also prepare to talk about why you have good cause for getting a CCW license.
2-2. Bring checks or money orders.
Typically, you need to pay a portion of your administrative/background check fee at the time of your interview. Refer to the instructions for the amount.
You may also have to pay for your fingerprinting at the interview.
2-3. Attend your interview.
At your interview, you’ll discuss your criminal history and why you need a license. You’ll also talk about the consequences of publicly carrying a firearm.
Arrive at least 15 minutes ahead of time for processing, and remember not to bring any weapons or bags with you.
If you can’t make the interview, call the sheriff’s office as soon as possible to reschedule.
2-4. Give fingerprints.
After your interview, you will be told where to go to have your fingerprints taken. The fingerprints will then be sent to the sheriff’s office. Ask if you need to pay when you have your prints taken.
3. Completing Other Requirements
3-1. Ask for preapproval.
You should obtain pre-approval before you take the safety course and complete your weapons qualification. Pre-approval will save you time in case you don’t qualify for a license.
3-2. Take a firearms safety course.
All applicants must take the state’s Firearms Safety Class. The sheriff should have a list of pre-approved courses you can take. Generally, you will take a 16 hour course on firearm safety or a 24-hour community college course.
3-3. Complete your weapons qualification.
You can get a CCW license for more than one weapon. The county will set the maximum. Before approval, you must show that you can safely handle your weapons. Arrive at the firing range with all weapons you intend to qualify and make sure they are loaded.
You must fire your weapon at the range and pass with a score of 70% or better.
For example, you will shoot at two targets from the “low ready” position at the 15-, 10-, and 7-yard lines.
Your holsters will be checked to make sure they have an acceptable thumb snap.
3-4. Attend psychological testing, if necessary.
Your county may require that you complete psychological testing before they award you a CCW license. If testing is required, you should be referred to a licensed psychologist.
You’ll have to pay for the testing, but it shouldn’t be more than $150.
3-5. Await your results.
The sheriff’s office will analyze your application after you submit it. The processing time differs depending on the county. However, you could be in for a long wait.
In Placer County, for example, applicants generally wait six months or more for their applications to be processed.
Contact your county sheriff’s office to check on wait times.
3-6. Pay the remaining administrative fee.
You paid a portion (usually 20%) when you submitted your application. Typically, you’ll pay the remaining 80% when you receive your CCW license.
3-7. Update your application if you move.
If you move within the same county, notify the sheriff’s office of your new address. Don’t delay. State law requires that you provide written notice within 10 days. You may also have to complete a modification form and go into the office to have your license updated.
If you move outside the issuing county, then tell them you have moved. You may have to surrender your license, depending on the circumstances.
3-8. Renew in a timely manner.
Don’t wait for your license to expire before renewing. You’ll be breaking the law if you continue to carry with an expired license. Submit your renewal application 30-45 days before the expiration to give yourself enough time.
You’ll need to take a four-hour CCW renewal course. Check with your county sheriff for a full list of requirements.
Tips
Your weapon must be licensed with the state’s Department of Justice, Firearms Bureau. A local firearms dealer can assist you, or you can visit the Firearms Bureau website for more information.[14]

Research source
You can register your weapons serial number for $10. Fill out the weapon registration form on the CA DOJ website. Mail it in with a check or money order. This takes about 3 weeks.

2,218 | How to Apply for a Civil Service Examination | 1. Searching for Civil Service Jobs
1-1. Check your government's website for exam announcements.
Civil service examinations are administered through your city, state, and national government. You should regularly check these websites as some tests are available to take only once or twice a year. You should contact the specific government agency if you have any questions regarding which vacancies are posted online.
If you are a first time applicant, you may have to create an account with the specific website before applying.
Some websites may give you the option to sign up for job alerts. This way you will receive an automatic notification when new vacancies open up.
1-2. Read carefully through the exam description.
There are different application requirements depending on the type of job for which you are applying. Be sure to read through the information in the announcement for details. There are generally three types of civil service announcements:
Open Competitive: These exams rank applicants based on test score. The higher your exam score, the better your chances are of continuing through the application process.
Continuous: These announcements are for jobs for which the state or county are continually hiring. Exams are administered on a periodic bases and are open to all applicants that meet the minimum requirements.
Exam for Future Vacancies: This is an opportunity to take the exam without applying for a specific job. If you receive a passing score, you can then apply to vacancies as they open up. In some cases, those with higher test score may be referred for interviews.
1-3. Make sure you meet the minimum job requirements.
For most civil service jobs, you need to be at least 18 years of age, and a legal resident of the city or state to apply. Some jobs may require that you become a resident at least six months before applying to take the examination. Education and experience requirements vary depending on the job.
For example, some jobs require a degree in a specific field of study. If your degree falls outside of this discipline, you must provide a copy of your transcript showing that the majority of your credits were within the subject area specified in the job posting.
Some jobs may require that you have a specific license or certification. You should make sure that all of your licenses are current and valid throughout the application process.
1-4. Review the Notice of Examination.
Exam announcements usually include an official Notice of Examination (NOE). This will provide more specific details regarding job duties, test description, filing period, expected exam date(s) and other pertinent information. The Notice of Examination should also specify whether or not you are allowed to take the test online or in person.
2. Submitting Your Materials
2-1. Send any transcripts or other required documents.
Some civil service examinations may require specific educational experience. You should contact your college or university well ahead of the deadline to make sure they send a copy on time. If you're worried about meeting the deadline, you should make your own copy to send. Similarly, you should include copies of your licenses and certifications, if necessary.
You can usually find a scanner or copy machine at your local library.
Reach out to the specific government agency to make sure they receive your materials.
2-2. Submit a written request if you need special accommodations.
Governmental agencies are required to provide accommodations for those with disability. If you need such accommodations, you are required to send a written request, along with proof of disability. This request should indicate the specific accommodation requested, and any alternative which would be equally acceptable.
Accommodations can include an accessible or alternate examination site, additional time to complete the examination, full written instructions in large print or braille, or special attention from the monitor.
2-3. Pay the application fee.
In most cases, there is a processing fee required when you submit your application. You should find out whether you can send your payment electronically or if you need to mail a signed check or money order. You may be exempt from this fee if you are receiving:
General Assistance: Remember to submit a copy of your benefits letter from your local welfare director with your application.
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families: Make sure to submit a copy of your award letter which shows your case number.
Supplemental Security Income: Include a copy of your latest annual award letter, or a copy of your medical recertification.
2-4. Turn in your application.
It's important to keep the filing date in mind as you fill out the application. Test spots tend to fill quickly. So finishing your application in a timely manner will increase your chances of getting a testing spot. You are required to provide a valid ID and social security number along with your application.
The Online Application System (OASys) can be accessed from any computer with a recommended internet browser. Mobile devices and tablets are generally unable to access the system. Follow the instructions in the Notice of Examination in order to access the application.
Computer-based Testing & Applications Centers (CTACs) are physical locations where computer based examinations are administered for city or state jobs. The NOE should include a list of various centers in your area where you may take the test.
2-5. Print or save a copy of your application and supporting documents.
It's important to keep your own records in case something goes awry. You should hear back within 12-14 weeks after you submit your application. If you still haven't been notified after this time, check back with your testing agency.
3. Acing the Test
3-1. Review the different methods of evaluation.
These methods may vary depending on the type of civil service test for which you are applying. Here are some of the most common exams you might face.
Oral and Essay Exams: These exams are designed to test your ability to synthesize information and provide answers to critical thinking questions.
Performance and Job Simulation Exams: Some jobs may require that you take an exam in order to measure certain abilities that pertain directly to job, such as a typing test or a scenario-based management test.
Computer Administered or Multiple Choice Exam: Certain jobs require that the applicant complete a test based on the job titles, requirements, skills, and related knowledge required to perform the job.These exams are developed, administered and scored by the state.
3-2. Brush up on your language and math skills.
Polishing these skills can help prepare you for whichever exam you take. ACT and SAT study guides can be useful resources in this regard. Or you could even enroll in a class at your local university. This can often help lend a more tangible structure to your study routine.
3-3. Work through a study guide.
There are a number of resources online that can help give you a better idea of what kind of questions will be on the exam. Many of these resources not only have practice problems, but also provide practical advice when it comes to the test day. Many people have passed the exam successfully after using this as a point of reference.
Exam reviews typically cover vocabulary, grammar, paragraph organization, reading comprehension, analogy, logic, and numerical reasoning.

2,219 | How to Apply for a Concealed Carry Permit | 1. Starting the Process
1-1. Make sure you meet the basic requirements.
Obtaining a permit to carry a concealed weapon varies from state-to-state. However, there are a few basic requirements you must meet regardless of where you live. First, you must be at least 21 years of age. Then you must have “proof of good character.” This means you haven’t been convicted of any felonies like DUIs or assault and battery.
1-2. Research the requirements for your state.
Outside of the basic requirements, each state will require proof of residency. For example, in Ohio you have to have been a resident of the state for at least 45 days, and a resident of your home county for 30 days. You will also have to meet each state’s requirements for training and application.
Pay strict attention to the requirements as some jurisdictions may deny your application for the slightest infraction.
You may also want to talk to people who already have a permit about their experience and where you should start.
1-3. Learn about the differences in concealed carry permit applications.
If you meet the basic requirements for a concealed carry permit in your state, then you can apply for a permit. However, there are differences in the application approval process.
Shall Issue. Most states have “Shall Issue” policies, meaning that they will give a permit to you if you meet all of the requirements.
May Issue. A handful of states have “May Issue” policies, meaning that they may deny a permit application even if you meet all of the requirements. These judgments are made on a case-by-case basis. States with a “May Issue” policy include California, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Delaware, Virgin Islands, Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and New York.
Right Denied. There are couple of places in the U.S. where concealed carry is not allowed. These include American Samoa and N. Mariana Islands.
1-4. Get a background check.
You can do this by sending your fingerprints to the Bureau of Criminal Identification or BCI. To get fingerprinted, simply contact your local law enforcement and set up an appointment. They should be able to provide you with a fingerprinting card, but you can also print them off online. The process should only take about 10-15 minutes. Once you’ve finished, the department should be able to send your prints off to be checked. In total it should cost around $50-$60.
2. Filling Out Your Application
2-1. Learn about your state’s application process.
Make sure to learn about your state’s application process to ensure that you can complete every step. The application process for a concealed carry permit may vary from state to state, so be sure to check the requirements in your state.
For example, in Louisiana, you need to complete an application, prove that you meet all of the requirements, agree to comply with the rules and regulations for concealed carry, and pay the $25.00 application fee.
2-2. Take any classes, if necessary.
Most states require you to take a gun safety class. This is recommended even if you do not plan to carry a weapon. Most training courses are around 8 hours and are taught by a qualified CCW instructor. You can find one through your state’s CCW website or through your local sheriff’s department.
If you are already certified, you may be able to bypass training. However, if your certification is older than 3 years, you may have to take another class.
If you are an active or reserve member of the military, you may also be able to skip training.
2-3. Fill out the appropriate paperwork.
Each state will have a specific application for you to fill out. With your application you will also have to include a photocopy of your driver’s license and a color photograph of passport quality. You should also have your cleared background check, fingerprints, and firearm certification.
Keep in mind that every state may require additional or different items like proof of residency.
The fee for obtaining a license may also vary from state to state, but expect to pay between $30-$50.
2-4. Submit the proper forms and wait.
It can take anywhere between 30-60 days to obtain your permit. In the meantime, do not carry a concealed weapon if it is illegal to do so without a permit in your area. Some shall issue states allow you to open-carry a weapon, but you should check your state's official website for more information before doing anything else.
Once you have your permit it should be good for 5 years.
Tips
Make copies of your paperwork. If something goes wrong, you can refer to your copies to see where you made your mistake.
There are 3 types of permit states: Shall issue, May issue, No issue. Shall issue states are required by law to issue a permit as long as you meet the set criteria. May issue states will usually issue a permit under specific circumstances. No issue states will not issue a permit unless you are a law enforcement officer.
Sometimes websites do not get updated when the law changes and may be out-of-date, so make sure you are getting accurate information.
Warnings
Depending on the state, your personal information may be retrievable via the state's Freedom of Information Act. You may wish to check this before applying for a permit.
Be wary of obtaining information from unofficial websites. While they may offer accurate information, many include notices that the information is subject to change. Always verify the information against the laws in your state.

2,220 | How to Apply for a Copyright | 1. Completing Your Application
1-1. Visit the Copyright Office website to start the application process.
Go to https://www.copyright.gov/forms/ to access the forms you'll need. You can either apply online or print the forms and fill them out by hand to mail them in. The website also has guidance and answers to frequently asked questions that can help you with the process if you get stuck.
If there are specific warnings or notices related to copyright registration, they'll appear at the top of the page. For example, the Copyright Office has changed some procedures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that you'll probably want to read about before you get started.
1-2. Choose the application that matches the type of work you've created.
The Copyright Office has different forms depending on the type of work you've created. Although they all require you to provide the same basic information, it's important to use the right one for classification purposes. There are 6 basic types of registration forms:
Literary: for fiction or nonfiction books, poetry, computer programs, and other written work of a non-dramatic nature
Visual: for photographs, graphic designs, paintings, drawings, sculptures, and other works of art. Note that there's a separate form to use if you're registering a group of related photographs.
Serials: for magazines, journals, and other publications with multiple issues over the course of a year
Performing arts: for screenplays and scripts, choreography, or musical compositions (with or without lyrics)
Sound recording: for audio recordings, including music and audiobooks or other broadcasts. With this application, you can register both the recording itself and the underlying work that was recorded.
Motion picture or audiovisual: for films, television shows, videos, video games, and other works that include both visual and audio components that are synced together.
1-3. Provide information about the work.
The first section of the application asks for the title of your work. Every work that is registered for copyright has to have a title. If your work is untitled, a few words to describe it will do, such as "untitled painting of owls."
In later sections of the application, provide the date the work was created and the date it was published. These are often 2 different dates. For example, you might've written your novel on December 18, 2018, but it wasn't published until March 18, 2020.
If it took you several months (or even years) to create your work, go with the earliest date that the work was complete in some form, such as the date you finished your first draft.
1-4. List the author of the work.
If you created the work, you're the author, regardless of the type of work it is. However, if you created the work for someone else, it might be considered a "work for hire," in which case they would be listed as the author.
For example, suppose you wrote a series of blog posts for Cady's Cupcakes, a local bakery. The contract you signed specifies that you created the blog posts as a work for hire and don't retain rights to the content. On a copyright application, the author would be Cady's Cupcakes.
You can choose to be anonymous or pseudonymous. There's a box to check to indicate that. You can also list both your pseudonym and your real name. For example, you might identify yourself as "Sally Sunshine, whose pseudonym is Sage Tartley."
Regardless of how you identify yourself, you must include the name of your country of citizenship and where you currently live.
1-5. Include information about the copyright claimant.
If you created the work yourself, this section is just a repeat of the information you provided for the author. However, authors can also transfer their copyright in a work to someone else, in which case, the claimant would be different from the author.
For example, suppose your aunt wrote a novel. When she died, she left the copyright for that novel to you in her will. She would be the author of the novel, but you would be the claimant.
You need some written evidence that the author transferred all rights in the work to you, such as a will or a contract. You don't need to submit a copy of it with your application, but you will need it if you ever sue someone for infringement and they question if you have a valid copyright claim.
1-6. Sign and date your application.
Check one of the boxes that identifies who you are ("author," if you created the work) and sign the application. Underneath your signature, there's a space for you to legibly print your name and add the date your application was signed.
Be sure to provide an address for the Copyright Office to use to mail your certificate when it's ready.
2. Submitting Your Application
2-1. Set up an account on the eCO website.
At https://eco.copyright.gov/ you can create a user account that will allow you to submit your registration application online. You can use this account to submit multiple applications if you create things regularly.
Once you've set up your account, choose the correct type of application and enter your application information.
2-2. Pay the registration fees.
If you're submitting your application online, you can pay your fees using a major credit or debit card, or by ACH debit from a US bank account. For mailed applications, include a check or money order payable to "U.S. Copyright Office." Registration fees change every year. Effective March 20, 2020, registration fees are:
$45 for an online application to register copyright in 1 work with 1 author/claimant that is not a work for hire
$65 for all other online applications
$125 for mail-in applications
2-3. Mail your application if you filled out a paper application.
Send your completed application form, registration fee, and a copy of your work together in the same package. Use certified mail with return receipt requested if you want a record of when the Copyright Office receives your application. Send your package to the following address:
Library of CongressCopyright Office101 Independence Avenue, SEWashington, DC 20559-6000
The address is the same for all applications. However, add the two-letter abbreviation that identifies your application type after the words "Copyright Office." Use TX for literary works, SE for serials, VA for visual arts, PA for performing arts, SR for sound recordings, and MP for motion pictures and audiovisual works. This abbreviation also appears at the top of your application.
2-4. Wait to receive your certificate in the mail.
Once the copyright office processes your application it will send an official certificate to the address you provided on your application. Keep this certificate in a safe place.
The processing time varies depending on the time of year and how busy the Copyright Office is. As of September 2020, electronic applications have a wait time of between 2 and 3 months, on average. Mailed applications have a wait time of between 8 and 9 months.
3. Depositing Copies with the Library of Congress
3-1. Submit digital copies if the work was only published in electronic form.
If there are print copies of your work available, you must send a print copy. However, if you only published your work online or in an electronic format, you can submit a digital copy to the Library of Congress.
If your work was only published online or in digital format and you don't want to register your copyright, you're still responsible for sending a physical copy of the work to the Library of Congress: for example, by downloading it and submitting a physical copy of the media file.
Note that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Copyright Office is strongly encouraging you to provide electronic deposits whenever possible. If you're ordinarily required to submit a physical deposit, do both. Complete the form, available for download at https://www.copyright.gov/coronavirus/declaration-form.pdf, to certify that the electronic and physical deposits contain the same material.
3-2. Get 2 complete copies of the work you created.
For most categories of work, including books and sound recordings, the Library of Congress requires 2 complete copies. By "complete," they mean all elements of the work included in the publication.
For example, if you were depositing a sound recording, it would be considered complete if it also included any cover art, liner notes, inserts, and other materials included in the sound recording as it's offered for retail sale.
For some types of work, such as motion pictures or musical compositions, you only need to send 1 copy.
If your work is a limited edition (or one-of-a-kind) work of visual art, you can send a representation of it, such as a photograph.
3-3. Mail your copies to the Library of Congress.
Your deposit copies must be sent within 3 months of the date of publication in the US. You can use certified mail with return receipt requested if you want official notice when your deposit is received. Send your package to the following address:
Library of CongressCopyright OfficeAttn: 407 Deposits101 Independence Avenue, SEWashington, DC 20559-6600
Tips
If your work was created after January 1, 1978, your copyright protection lasts for your lifetime plus an additional 70 years. You aren't required to renew your registration.[20]

There are 6 basic types of registration forms:\\n\\nLiterary: for fiction or nonfiction books, poetry, computer programs, and other written work of a non-dramatic nature\\nVisual: for photographs, graphic designs, paintings, drawings, sculptures, and other works of art. Note that there's a separate form to use if you're registering a group of related photographs.\\n\\nSerials: for magazines, journals, and other publications with multiple issues over the course of a year\\n\\nPerforming arts: for screenplays and scripts, choreography, or musical compositions (with or without lyrics)\\nSound recording: for audio recordings, including music and audiobooks or other broadcasts.

2,221 | How to Apply for a DBA in Texas | 1. Filling Out the Paperwork
1-1. Understand what an assumed name is.
An assumed name is a business name that is not the legal name of the business or organization. It's also known a "trade name" or "fictitious business name."
A business cannot be sued under its assumed name because the assumed name does not create a legal entity. It simply is a named assumed by an existing legal entity.
Therefore, while your business can operate using a registered assumed name, it must use its legal name for any legal transactions, including signing contracts or leases and buying inventory.
1-2. Decide if you should apply for a “Name Registration.”
Businesses in Texas must register their legal name with the Secretary of State, so public can find information on them. No two businesses in Texas may have the same name registered with the Secretary of State. Therefore, filing for a name registration will prevent other businesses from filing under your chosen name, and your business cannot file under a name that is already registered.
1-3. File for an assumed name if you already have a registered name.
You should already have a legal name registered with the Secretary of State for your business before doing this. An assumed name lets you present your business to the public using a different name than the one listed on your name registration.
More than one business can have the same assumed name registered in Texas.
Therefore, you cannot prevent another company for using your “assumed” name just because you have an assumed name certificate.
1-4. Know the reasons for requesting an assumed name.
Businesses often file for assumed names when they can't register the legal name the owners want. This is usually because another business has already done so. With an assumed name, you'll still be able to present the name you want to the public.
Franchising is another common reason for getting an assumed name. For example, if “Lexus” was opening a branch in Texas, the registered legal name would simply be “Lexus.” However, the particular franchisee may want to use the assumed name “Lexus of Houston” in the community.
1-5. Make sure your desired name is available.
Do this before you fill out any paperwork. Although legally, multiple businesses can use the same assumed name, you probably want an original name that no one else is using. Choose a different name if the one you want is already in use to avoid trademark infringement and consumer confusion issues down the line.
Run a trademark search to be sure that the name is not trademarked. You can check the federal database here.
Registering the DBA name does not allow you to use the name if doing so would infringe on someone else’s legal rights to the name.
To search online, visit the state of Texas’s SOS direct website and request an account. Each search you run will cost $1.
You can also visit your county clerk's office in person and ask an employee to check the name’s availability. They may charge a small fee.
1-6. Get an Assumed Name Certificate application.
In Texas, this is called “Form 503: Assumed Name Certificate." To obtain this document, visit your county clerk to pick up a form in person, or visit Secretary of State website to download it.
The downloadable version of the form is a PDF (portable document format) file. You may have to download software that will let you open it on your computer.
Adobe Acrobat Reader is a free program that will allow you to open and read the document.
Once you’ve opened the application, print it so you can fill it out.
1-7. Decide how your business will be structured.
The most complicated part of the DBA application will be the declaration of your business’s structure. You should think long and hard about how you want to structure your business, as this will have a lasting effect on how much power, responsibility, and obligation you’ll have. It is best to consult a corporate attorney to help you decide which entity is the best model for your specific situation. The most common options are:
Sole proprietorship: you are the only person involved in the business. You and the business are one in the same. This is a very simple model, but it also means that you have all the responsibility, including any debt the business might take on.
Sole practitioner: You are the only owner of the business, but you might hire support staff like assistants or salespeople.
General partnership: Two or more co-owners share the duties of management equally.
Limited partnership: A limited partnership also has two or more co-owners. However, in this case, they don’t share investment or responsibility equally. One owner may simply be an investor who holds 25% of the business, while the other owner runs the business and owns 75% of it.
1-8. Fill out items 1-4 on the application.
Once you have the form, you or your legal representative (such as an attorney or registered agent) need to fill it out correctly and honestly. Items 1-4 require you to provide:
The assumed name you want to use.
Basic contact information for your business. This should be the address where your business receives mail, not your personal address
The structure of your business
Any file number that is already assigned to your business. To find out if you have a file number, call the Secretary of State’s office or look on SOS online under your business’s legal name.
1-9. Complete items 5-8 on the form.
This section of the form requires you to provide:
The jurisdiction and address of your main office, if different from the business location you're filing for. This does not have to be in Texas.
The office address for your business’s main location in Texas, if your main office is not in Texas.
The duration that you will be using the assumed name for. The maximum duration is 10 years, although the form can be renewed at the end of this time.
he county or counties where the assumed name will be used.
1-10. Check the paperwork with your partners.
If you are the only person managing the business, you can skip this step. But, if you’re filing this paperwork on behalf of co-owners, make sure that they approve all of the information you provided in the application.
2. Submitting the Application
2-1. Take the completed form to a notary public.
A licensed notary is an unbiased outside party who 1) verifies your identity, 2) makes sure you’re not being forced to do anything against your will, and 3) confirms that you understand what the document says. You must have your signature on the application notarized before it will be accepted.
2-2. Submit the DBA form to the Secretary of State.
After signing the application and having it notarized, send it to the Secretary of State's office. The Secretary of State's address is: P.O. Box 13697, Austin, TX 78711-3697. Include a $25 fee with this application, either as a check or money order.
2-3. Submit the form to the county clerk's office.
You will file it either in 1) the county where your business has its “principal place of business,” or 2) a registered office in Texas if the business's principal place of business is outside the state. To find a county clerks office, visit the Secretary of State's website.
If you choose to mail the form, scan or photocopy it and retain a copy for yourself. Make sure to include your payment with the application (see next step).
Submitting the application in person is useful if you have questions. The employees at the county clerk’s office will check your forms to make sure everything has been done correctly.
2-4. Order a copy of the approved form.
Once your form has been approved at the county clerk's office, you want to keep the proof in your files. If any problems arise in the future, you’ll have an official copy in your records to defend yourself.
Counties often charge a fee for this service, but you should always do it. It’s better to have that peace of mind than save a few dollars.
2-5. Renew the DBA when necessary.
The DBA certificate is valid for 10 years after you file it. You can renew within six months of its expiration date.
If you don't want to use the assumed name anymore, you must file a certificate of abandonment, which is Form 504.
You cannot amend a DBA certificate. If you want to change the name of your business, you must fill out a new form.
Tips
Upon completion and approval of your Texas DBA application, you can open a checking account at a bank in your DBA name. Most banks will not allow businesses to do so without completing the DBA process.
A notary public will charge a fee for notary service, sometimes based on the number of signatures required. You can save money by taking the form to your bank, which often has a staff notary who can perform this service at no charge.
If you are having trouble filling out or understanding the paperwork, consult an attorney. This can prevent your having to pay the filing fees more than once.
Warnings
Texas DBA certificates are good for 10 years. If your business is still functioning after this time, be sure to re-apply.
If your business is legally structured as a corporation, LLC, LLP or limited partnerships you must submit a different Assumed Name Certificate to the Texas Secretary of State.

You can check the federal database here.\\nRegistering the DBA name does not allow you to use the name if doing so would infringe on someone else’s legal rights to the name.\\nTo search online, visit the state of Texas’s SOS direct website and request an account. Each search you run will cost $1.\\nYou can also visit your county clerk's office in person and ask an employee to check the name’s availability. They may charge a small fee.\"}, {\"编号\": 6, \"标题\": \"Get an Assumed Name Certificate application.\", \"描述\": \"In Texas, this is called “Form 503: Assumed Name Certificate.\\\" To obtain this document, visit your county clerk to pick up a form in person, or visit Secretary of State website to download it.\\nThe downloadable version of the form is a PDF (portable document format) file.

You should think long and hard about how you want to structure your business, as this will have a lasting effect on how much power, responsibility, and obligation you’ll have. It is best to consult a corporate attorney to help you decide which entity is the best model for your specific situation. The most common options are:\\nSole proprietorship: you are the only person involved in the business. You and the business are one in the same. This is a very simple model, but it also means that you have all the responsibility, including any debt the business might take on.\\nSole practitioner: You are the only owner of the business, but you might hire support staff like assistants or salespeople.\\nGeneral partnership: Two or more co-owners share the duties of management equally.\\nLimited partnership: A limited partnership also has two or more co-owners.

2,222 | How to Apply for a DOT Number | 1. Getting Started on the Application
1-1. Set aside enough time to finish the application.
While the DOT number application is relatively simple to fill out, it does require a somewhat substantial amount of time. As a result, you’ll need to make sure that you have enough time to complete it before you sit down and do so.
The Department of Transportation estimates that it takes one hour and twenty minutes to complete the DOT number application.
Completion of the application includes time for entering information, reading instructions, and reviewing your entries.
1-2. Secure the information you will need to apply for your DOT number.
Before actually getting started, you’ll need to get all the required information together so you won’t have to stop and search for it while you are completing the application. The most critical information you’ll need is:
Your company’s employer Identification (EIN), tax identification number, or your Social Security number (if you own the business).
Your company’s Dun and Bradstreet Number (if you have it).
The names of your company’s officers and the titles of the officers.
1-3. Visit the unified registration website.
If you do not have a DOT number, you must apply for one online. This is the only method that new applicants can acquire a number.
Navigate to: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registration.
Once you arrive at the website, read the directions and then click “TO GET STARTED CLICK HERE.”
You will be forwarded to another page with more information. Read it, scroll to the bottom of the page, and then click “To continue to the Unified Registration System, click here.”
Click whether you are a new applicant and proceed through several pages of directions and information.
If you already have a DOT number, you can renew it by printing the form at https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registration/registration-forms and mailing it to MC-RS, 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE Washington, DC 20590, United States.
2. Completing the Application
2-1. Create an account.
Once you’ve read the initial directions, you’ll be prompted to a screen where you will create an account. By creating an account, you’ll make it easier to access your application later and to track the progress of your application after you’ve finished it.
You’ll be assigned a random applicant ID. For instance, “User 354262.”
Enter your password twice.
You’ll have to enter three security questions and answers.
Your account and application will be deleted if your application is not completed and submitted in 30 days after you begin it.
2-2. Enter your identifying information.
The first section of the application is where you will provide your company’s identifying information. You’ll have to fill out every box to complete the form. This information includes:
Your name or the name of your company.
The principal address associated with your business.
Your Dun & Bradstreet number, if you have one.
The company’s phone number, email address, and fax number.
Your social security number or the company’s IRS tax ID.
2-3. Declare what operation classification you want.
You’ll also have to declare what operator classification you want. The classification gives the government an idea of who you will be conducting business for. Some classifications include:
Private passenger
For hire
Federal government
State government
Indian tribe
Local mail
2-4. Check the box for your cargo classification.
Cargo classification indicates the type of cargo or freight you will be moving in your registered vehicle. Make sure to check all boxes that apply to your business. Some examples include:
General freight
Household goods
Passengers
U.S. Mail
Farm supplies
Beverages
2-5. Declare if you will be transporting hazardous materials.
You’ll also need to indicate whether you will be transporting hazardous materials. This is important, as the government tracks the transportation of certain classes of hazardous material.
Indicate whether you are moving the material as a carrier, shipper, bulk shipper, or as non-bulk packages.
2-6. Sign the application.
After completing the online application, you’ll need to certify and sign the form. Without certifying and signing, your form will not be complete and you will not receive a DOT number. To certify and sign you must be:
The owner of the enterprise
A partner in the enterprise
An authorized representative or official of the company
A holder of power of attorney for the applicant.
2-7. Pay the filing fee of $300.
After completing your application, you will be prompted to pay the filing fee for your DOT number. You will not be able to submit your application without payment.
The fee is a one-time assessment. You will not have to pay annual fees.
You may need to pay minor fees if you have to change your DOT registration information. For example, if you need to change your name, you will be assessed $14.
You will not be refunded for any sort of mistake or erroneous application.
2-8. File your financial responsibility certification.
Depending on the size and type of enterprise you are applying for, you may have to demonstrate that it is financially responsible. This is important, as accidents related to commercial shipping are associated with potentially large liabilities.
This information must be filed electronically with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
If required, financial responsibility must be certified before you will be granted a DOT number.
3. Learn if You Need a DOT Number
3-1. Decide whether you intend to transport hazardous materials.
If you’ll be moving hazardous waste between states or outside the country, you’ll need a DOT number. This is because the government tracks hazardous waste for public health and safety reasons.
3-2. Find out if you operate a vehicle over 10,001 lbs.
(4,536 kg). If you operate a large enough vehicle between 2 states or outside the country, you’ll need a DOT number. Like with hazardous waste, the government issues DOT numbers to large commercial vehicles in the interest of protecting the public.
If you are not sure of your vehicle’s weight, look in its manual, contact the manufacturer, or visit a commercial weigh station.
3-3. Determine if you drive a vehicle that transports more than 8 passengers for compensation.
If you drive a vehicle that transports more than 8 passengers for compensation, and that vehicle travels between 2 states or outside the country, you’ll need a DOT number.
This number includes the driver – which means the driver and 7 passengers.
Compensation is defined as receiving a reward for doing something for someone else.
3-4. Verify that you operate a vehicle used to transport more than 15 passengers without compensation.
Even if you don’t receive compensation, by operating a vehicle that transports more than 15 passengers, you’ll be obligated to obtain a DOT number.
This is only applicable if you travel between 2 states or outside the country.
This number includes the driver – which means the driver and 14 passengers.
3-5. Learn if you operate a commercial vehicle within a state that requires a DOT number.
Most states require commercial vehicles to obtain a DOT number when operating within the state. By requiring a DOT number, the state creates an extra layer of regulation on commercial operators within its borders.
For a list of states that require commercial operators to obtain a DOT number, visit: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registration/do-i-need-usdot-number

2,223 | How to Apply for a Disney College Program | 1. Steps
1-1. Decide what session you want to apply for.
Do you like sweating? Do you like crowds? If not, then do not apply for the Fall, or Fall Advantage program. If you do, then apply for that time. If you like a tamer time of year for either the Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort, you should apply for Spring or the Spring Advantage session of the program.
1-2. Put together a job resume.
Even if you've never worked before, you still need something to give the employer to prove your schooling and references.
1-3. Complete the initial application.
Fill out a regular application like you would for any other job application. However, unlike most jobs, the Disney Careers' application is online. (DisneyCareers is the hosting company of the Disney College Program). You can find this page here. DisneyCareers has chosen not to give participants a papered form, therefore do not try to look for one.
Visit the College Program website above. You must meet the criteria the school requires for participation, along with a high school diploma or GED. These requirements include a GPA at grade level and a number of credit hours earned to participate.
1-4. Find and click the green button that says “Apply Now!”
to continue with the application. Fill out this information (name, address, etc.) as well as your choice of park (Disneyland (CA) or Walt Disney World (FL). After completing the application, some job applicants will not get past this point in the application process. If you do not get past this step in the application process, then that means that you are either not qualified to work for Disney based on prior work experience or you do not meet the necessary qualifications the Disney College Program requires.
1-5. Take the web-based interview.
A link will be sent to you. This link is your personalized web-based interview. You need to finish it within 48 hours.
Answer the questions honestly!
Set up a time when you can take the phone interview. If you meet the Disney standards for the web-based interview, then within a day or so you should get an email about setting up a day and time for a phone interview.
1-6. Respond to the phone interview when Disney Parks calls you.
According to Amber Sewell in the book "Amber Earns Her Ears", she said that the call will come through as a restricted number, so be prepared for it.
1-7. Answer questions with an honest opinion.
The questions will most likely be formed like these:
Why do you want to be a part of the Disney College Program? The key to this question is about the College Program. It's not about working for Disney or being a total fan of Disney
What are the top three roles, and different situations that could happen at work and at the apartment? Roles are the types of jobs that you have the chance of getting. For example, you could work in merchandise, or for attractions in the parks.
1-8. Email the recruiting director for the program to ask about making appointments for an in person job interview.
For Disneyland contact here; for Walt Disney World use WDW recruiting address instead. Ask about making an appointment for an in person job interview. If you don't live in California or Florida, you'll need to make travel arrangements (and travel documentation if you live outside of the United States) to get to your specified location. You must be able to speak English.
1-9. Take part in the interview.
Answer the questions you get asked, and ask some questions about the job/program yourself. This is a time for both yourself and the company to get to know a little about your ways you interact with people. Ask as many questions you can, without it seeming like you haven't done any research about the program.
Let the interviewer know you researched the online program, but that there are still questions about some things you still don't understand. If and when the interviewer asks you why you want to work for Disney Parks, infer through some of the Disney principles that you 'love Disney (include movie references and potential park references if you've ever been to them before to show just how much you love Disney and it's other guests).
1-10. Be patient.
Some applicants get answers the very next day, while some it may take a few weeks. Disney says that you will get an answer between two and three weeks after your phone interview, but people hear things at different times. If you don't get an answer within the three weeks, ask about whether or not you qualify. If you don't get the specific job you applied for, ask Disney why.
Some people find out the very next day, and some in those few weeks. Regardless, the time it takes, certain is worth to wait.
1-11. Congratulate yourself, if they say you've made it.
Don't despair, if they tell you that you haven't; there's always next time! If you do make it, you can rejoice. You made it: You are going to work for the Walt Disney Company! You will be working for one of the most successful companies in the world.
Tips
Don't take anything for granted while you're working. Remember that this is still for a college/school, but also remember to make a bunch of years worth of memories!

2,224 | How to Apply for a Divorce in New York | 1. Completing Paperwork
1-1. Satisfy the residency requirement.
Only people with a substantial connection to New York can get divorced here. You must meet one of the following requirements:
Either you or your spouse has lived in New York for two continuous years before you start the divorce.
Either you or your spouse has been living in New York for at least one year and you were married in New York or you lived in New York as a married couple.
Either spouse has lived in New York for one year and the grounds for divorce occurred in New York.
Both spouses live in New York on the day you start the divorce and the grounds for your divorce happened in the state.
1-2. Fill out your paperwork for an uncontested divorce.
If you’re getting an uncontested divorce, you can complete paperwork at the New York Courts website: https://www.nycourts.gov/courthelp/family/divorceStarting.shtml.
An uncontested divorce is one where you and your spouse agree to get divorced and agree on child custody, child support, alimony, and the division of marital property and debts. If you disagree about any one of these, then you don’t have an uncontested divorce.
You might not know if your divorce is contested or not. Talk to your spouse ahead of time. In any event, you can file for an uncontested divorce initially, and then you’ll go ahead with a contested divorce if your spouse disagrees.
1-3. Hire a divorce lawyer for a contested divorce.
Don’t use the forms at the New York Courts website if you and your spouse can’t agree on all aspects of the divorce. Instead, you should work with a New York divorce lawyer. Obtain a referral from the New York bar association by calling 1-800-342-3661.
If money is tight, visit the lawhelp.org website to find low-cost legal help.
1-4. Identify the reason for the divorce.
In your paperwork, you must give a reason why the marriage has ended. This is called the “grounds” for the divorce. In New York, there are several possible grounds. Choose among the following:
Irretrievable breakdown for at least six months. Basically, this is the “no fault divorce” option. Your relationship must have been over for at least six months before you file.
Cruel and inhuman treatment. Over the past five years, your spouse must have endangered you physically or mentally. Merely disagreeing a lot isn’t enough.
Abandonment. Your spouse has left you for at least a year. Refusing to have sex with you for a year also qualifies as abandonment.
Imprisonment. Your spouse has been in prison for three years in a row.
Adultery. Your spouse committed adultery during the marriage. You’ll need solid evidence, such as testimony from the person your spouse has slept with.
Other reasons. If you want, you could get legally separated for a year and then qualify for a divorce. However, if you want to divorce more quickly, then choose a different ground.
2. Filing Your Papers
2-1. Visit your local court.
Go to the court in your county. In New York, this court is called the Supreme Court, and it is the only one that can grant you a divorce. You’ll file at the court clerk’s office.
In some counties, you can file your papers electronically. This is a good option if you are comfortable with technology. Visit https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/AuthorizeCaseType to check if your county court has been approved for e-filing.
If you hired a lawyer, they will take care of filing your papers and serving copies on your spouse.
2-2. File your summons.
You’ll need to file your Summons With Notice or your Summons and Complaint with the court clerk. If you have a settlement agreement, then you should file that at the same time.
2-3. Pay fees.
You’ll need to pay $210 to get an index number — known as a "case number" in most other states — to start the case. Call ahead of time to check what methods of payment are acceptable.
Later on, you will have to pay additional fees. An uncontested divorce will cost at least $335, and a contested divorce will cost more. If you can’t afford the fee, complete a fee waiver form.
3. Serving Your Spouse
3-1. Gather your paperwork.
You must provide your spouse photocopies of many different forms. This notice is necessary so your spouse can respond to your allegations and possibly contest the divorce. Make copies of the following and write the index number at the top of each:
Summons With Notice or Summons and Verified Complaint
Notice of Automatic Order
Notice Concerning Continuation of Health Care Coverage
Sworn Statement of Removal of Barriers to Remarriage
3-2. Deliver the papers yourself in an uncontested divorce.
Talk to your spouse and ask if they will contest the divorce. If not, you can go ahead and give your spouse the divorce papers. They must also sign their Affidavit of Defendant and have it notarized.
3-3. Arrange service in all other situations.
Unless you are 100% sure your spouse won’t contest the divorce, you should arrange for the papers to be personally served by someone else. You must meet the following conditions for your service to be proper:
Serve the papers within 120 days of filing them with the county clerk. There’s probably no reason to wait.
Your server must be at least 18 years old and must be a New York state resident.
If you’re serving papers outside New York, then the server must be a New York resident or someone legally allowed to serve papers in the state.
3-4. File the affidavit of service.
Whoever serves papers must complete this affidavit and return it to you. The affidavit serves as proof that the papers were served. File it with the court.
3-5. Continue on with your case.
Your spouse will have a chance to respond. How they respond will determine the next steps you must take:
If your spouse signs and returns the Affidavit of Defendant, then you should go to the court clerk’s office and ask to have your case put on the calendar. The Affidavit of Defendant is where the defendant will agree to the divorce and all of the conditions listed in the Summons with Notice. It is only used in an uncontested divorce.
If your spouse files a Notice of Appearance instead, then you will have a contested divorce. You might need to hire a lawyer if you don’t already have one.
If your spouse doesn’t respond at all, you can put your case on the court calendar and ask for a default divorce.

2. Taking the Driving Theory Tests
2-1. Study for the theory exams.
The theory exams are based on 3 books: The Highway Code, Know Your Traffic Signs, and Driving: The Essential Skills. You can purchase these books online or at any high street bookshop. You should also purchase the official guide to hazard perception, which can be found online for PC or Mac, on the Google Play Store or App Store for tablets and phones, or at any high street bookshop.
The theory exam may ask you questions about what different traffic signals mean, where a child under 11 should sit in your car, how to pass a motorcycle, how to turn from a major onto a minor road, and many other topics.
You can also take the online practice theory tests by visiting https://www.gov.uk/take-practice-theory-test.
2-2. Book your theory test.
You can book your theory test online by visiting https://wsr.theorytest.direct.gov.uk/testtaker/signin/SignInPage/DSA?locale=en_GB. You’ll need an email address to do so; if you don’t have an email address, you’ll need to book your test by phone. You can find contact information and testing locations by visiting https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/driver-and-vehicle-standards-agency/about/access-and-opening.
Once you’ve booked the appointment for your theory test, you’ll need to pay a fee via debit or credit card.
The fee for cars and motorcycles is £23, the fee for lorries and buses is £26 for the multiple choice test, £11 for the hazard perception test, and £23 for the case studies.
2-3. Pass a 50-question multiple choice test.
You will have 57 minutes to complete your test and you will need to answer 43 questions correctly to pass. The questions will deal with anything from driving regulations, to road signs, to vehicle safety. Some of the questions may relate to case studies (short stories based on real-life situations).
Your practice tests and study guides will include all of the information you may face during the test.
2-4. Pass the hazard perception test.
Before you take your hazard perception test, you’ll be shown a video explaining how the test works. Then, you’ll be shown 14 video clips featuring everyday driving situations that have at least 1 hazard situation. To identify the hazard situation, you must click the mouse as soon as you see the hazard developing.
The hazard perception test may include developing hazards like pedestrians getting into a car in an unexpected place, vehicles unexpectedly reversing from a side road onto a main road, heavy goods vehicles obstructing your view, parked cars obstructing traffic, and many more.
The sooner you click the mouse after you identify the hazard, the higher the score you will receive. You can earn up to 5 points for each correctly identified hazard.
You will only get one chance to guess during each video. You won’t be penalized for getting an answer wrong, but if you click continuously or in a pattern you won’t earn any points.
3. Taking the Practical Driving Exams
3-1. Practice driving with an eligible friend, family member, or driving instructor.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency recommends that you utilize an approved driving instructor, but you can also practice driving with a friend or family member that is at least 21 years of age and has had their driver’s licence for at least 3 years. You must have an “L” on the vehicle to drive. You can practice driving at any time of the day or night.
Testing anxiety affects people in various settings. It may be in the workplace, classroom, or a driving exam.
If you want to take a driving exam, prepare by previewing the testing area and instrument.
Practice with someone to have a mock experience of what it will feel like when the examiner sits next to you in your car.
You can purchase an “L” plate online or at a local store like Halford’s or Wilkinson’s.
You can find an approved driving instructor, by visiting https://www.gov.uk/find-driving-schools-and-lessons.
3-2. Make an appointment for your practical driving exams.
You must be at least 17 years of age to drive in the United Kingdom, so you’ll need to wait until then to make your appointment for your practical driving exams. To make your appointment, visit https://driverpracticaltest.direct.gov.uk/application?execution=e1s1.
You will need to know your UK driving licence number and have a debit or credit card ready (the fee is between £65 and £72 depending on the type of vehicle).
If you had a driving instructor and would like them to administer your exam, you’ll need to know their personal reference number.
You need to bring your driver’s licence and theory test pass certificate with you to the exam.
If you had a driving instructor and they are administering your exam, you can use their car for the test. If you don’t have a driving instructor, you’ll need to bring your own car.
3-3. Answer the examiner’s vehicle safety questions correctly.
There are 2 types of vehicle safety questions: “show me” questions and “tell me” questions. The “tell me” questions occur prior to the driving exam and involve you answering questions about vehicle safety. The “show me” questions will occur during the driving exam and will require you to demonstrate safe vehicle practices.
Examples of “tell me” questions would be “Tell me how you would check that the brakes are working before starting a journey,” “Tell me how you would make sure your head restraint is correctly adjusted so it provides the best protection in the event of a crash,” and “Tell me how you would check that the headlights and tail lights are working. You don’t need to exit the vehicle.”
Examples of “show me” questions would be “When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you would wash and clean the rear windscreen?”, “When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you would operate the horn?”, and “When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you would open and close the side window?”
3-4. Pass the general driving ability exam.
Your general driving ability exam will last around 40 minutes. First, you will be asked to drive in various road and traffic conditions (but not on motorways). Then, you’ll be required to pull over to the side of the road, pull away from the side of the road, and make a hill start. You’ll also be asked to do one of the following: parallel park, park in a parking bay, or reverse for 2 car lengths before rejoining traffic.
Your examiner will be grading you based on your committal of minor and major driving faults. You are allowed up to 15 minor faults, but cannot commit any major faults.
Examples of minor faults would be failing to observe a yield sign, hesitating at a traffic light, not being aware of another car’s turn signal, or driving too close to the car in front of you.
Examples of major faults would be crossing a junction, leaving your turn signal on after completing a turn, being in the wrong lane when approaching a roundabout, or driving through a stop light.
3-5. Pass the independent driving portion of the exam.
After the general driving ability exam, you’ll be tasked with completing 20 minutes of independent driving. During this portion, the examiner will either enter a destination into a satellite navigation system or ask you to follow road and traffic signs under their direction.
Out of every 5 independent driving tests, 4 will rely on satellite navigation.
If you’re unsure of where the next step of your route is, ask your examiner for help.
Independent driving routes are designed by the examiners at each testing location. You can download these routes online and practice them beforehand.
If you can’t see traffic signs, the examiner will direct you until you can.
If you take a wrong turn, don’t panic. You won’t be penalized. The examiner will help you get back on track.

Different learners have different needs; be sure to choose a course option (online vs. classroom) that works best for your schedule and learning style.
Not all real estate schools offer the same level of service. When choosing a class, don't look only at the cost; also consider the services (live help, tech support, practice tests) that the school provides before making your choice.
1-3. Fill out and submit a state license application.
It is recommended that you do this before beginning your class to avoid delays in your licensure. The application is available at the Department of Business and Professional Regulation website, and can either be completed online, or you can download and complete a printable application.
The application will ask you questions about your identity, any current or previous licenses you may hold, and a number of background questions.
Fill out the application honestly, and as completely as possible.
The current application fee is $89, and can be paid electronically or by check of money order.
1-4. Undergo electronic fingerprinting.
You must undergo a background check as part of your licensure process, and this requires you to have your fingerprints taken by a Livescan vendor. The process is painless and only takes a few minutes, and your fingerprints will remain valid for 12 months.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement maintains a list of acceptable Livescan vendors on its website.
Most people opt to have their fingerprinting done by Pearson Vue, the same company that will administer your Real Estate examination. This can even be scheduled for the same day as your exam, if you set the appointments up at the same time. The current fingerprinting fee is $53.50.
The fingerprinting vendor will require an ORI number to correctly process your information. The ORI number for Real Estate Sales and Brokers is .
1-5. Attend and pass your class.
Be sure to pay attention, take notes, and read your textbook carefully. You must receive at least a 70% or better score on the school final exam to receive a completion certificate. Different schools have different retake requirements, so be sure you are well-prepared for the test before you begin.
Your completion certificate will remain valid for 2 years. If you do not pass the real estate exam in that time, you will need to retake the pre-exam certification class.
1-6. Study for the State Real Estate Exam.
If you are diligent and pay attention, your course may sufficiently prepare you to take the exam, but many people require additional study help to pass. Check your favorite online bookstore for Florida Real Estate Exam study guides, flash cards, and practice exams that can give you additional support.
There are also numerous online tutoring sites that offer assistance on passing the Florida real estate exam. Some of these also offer free training/test prep videos on YouTube.
Many real estate schools also offer intensive pre-exam review or exam prep courses.
2. Completing the Licensure Process
2-1. Watch your mail for notification that your application was approved.
Pearson Vue will contact you directly when your application is approved and you are eligible to schedule your exam. Note that you cannot schedule your exam until this happens, and it can take up to four to six weeks for the application to be processed.
You can check the status of your application at the DBPR website.
2-2. Contact Pearson VUE to schedule an appointment for your exam.
The exam takes 3.5 hours, and costs $31.50. You can make an appointment online at http://www.pearsonvue.com, or call Pearson VUE Customer Care at (888) 204-6289 to make a reservation. If spots are available, you can make an appointment to take the exam the same day you call.
The phone line is open Monday-Friday, 8am to 11pm, Saturday 8am to 5pm , and Sunday from 10am to 4pm, Eastern Standard Time.
Be sure to record the confirmation number given at the end of the call.
2-3. Bring all required information to your exam appointment.
You will need two forms of identification with your signature on them, one of which must also have a photo. You will also need to bring your certification from your pre-license education class. It is also helpful to bring your confirmation number, just in case there are any problems.
2-4. Complete the exam and receive your score.
The Florida Real Estate Sales Associate Exam contains 100 multiple-choice questions. 45 of the questions are on real estate principles and practices, 45 or on Florida and Federal laws, and 10 require you to complete real estate-related math calculations. You must earn a score of 75 or better to pass the exam.
You will receive an official score report that includes your photo as soon as you complete the exam.
2-5. Schedule a retake.
In the even that you need to retake the exam, you will need to wait at least 24 hours to reschedule and go through the same process (Pearson VUE's website or Customer Care call center) that you used to schedule the initial exam.
Be sure to do allow time for additional studying before you retake the exam to improve your odds of success.
2-6. Choose a broker to sponsor you.
In order to activate your license, you will need a signed statement verifying that you will be working under the guidance of a licensed broker. This broker can be independent, or a member of a large real estate firm. The broker’s job is to mentor you as a salesperson, and she will bear responsibility for any mistakes that you make. In exchange, you pay the broker either a monthly fee or a set part of your commission.
You can begin looking for a broker to sponsor you at any time during the licensing process. Be sure to interview with a number of different brokers before making a selection, as different brokers have different fee schedules, and provide different services.
Most real estate brokerages are always looking for new salespersons. Begin by calling brokerages in your area (think about which signs you typically see up at homes you’d be interested in selling,) and go from there.
2-7. Activate your license.
After you pass your exam, your license must be activated through a Florida licensed real estate broker or owner/developer. The broker can do this by submitting the DBPR RE 11 form to confirm that you have been added as an employee. Once this is done, you can launch your real estate career!
For questions about this process, you can call the Department of Business and Professional Regulation Customer Contact Center at (850) 487-1395.

The system will tell you if your application was received but will not tell you whether you were awarded the grant. This information will come directly from the agency awarding the grant money.
2. Applying for a Federal Pell Grant
2-1. Choose a college that is a right fit and accepts Pell grants.
Choosing the right college is an important decision. The amount of financial aid you receive may help you narrow down your choices. Pell grants are financial awards given based on economic need to low-income undergraduates and some students seeking degrees beyond college. If you think that you may qualify for a Pell grant, consider the following:
Pell grants do not need to be repaid like student loans. Therefore, if you qualify for a Pell grant you can significantly reduce the amount of your college tuition with no further financial repayment obligation.
When choosing a college, you should check with the school’s financial aid office to make sure that they participate in the Pell grant program.
When researching schools, be sure to identify the Federal School Code for each school so that you can include it on your financial aid application. By identifying this information before filling your application, you ensure that your financial aid information is sent directly to those schools. You can locate Federal School Codes at https://fafsa.ed.gov/FAFSA/app/schoolSearch?locale=en_EN here.
2-2. Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
The U.S. Department of Education uses a student’s FAFSA to decide a student’s eligibility for federal student aid. In order to be eligible for a Pell grant or numerous other federal student aid funding possibilities, you must complete a FAFSA. You can apply for FAFSA online at https://fafsa.ed.gov and will be required to provide the following information:
Your social security number or, if you are not a U.S. citizen, your alien registration number;
Your most recent federal income tax returns, W-2s and other documents showing your income;
Bank statements and/or investment information;
Information showing any un-taxed income, if applicable; and
Your FSA id. If you do not have an FSA id, you can register for one at https://fsaid.ed.gov/npas/index.htm.
If you are a dependent student, you will need to provide the above information for your parents.
You can include the college codes for up to 10 schools to which you plan to apply.
2-3. Receive your Student Aid Report (SAR).
Once your FAFSA is reviewed, you will receive a Student Aid Report that is based on the financial information included in your FAFSA. Your SAR will provide you and the colleges to which you apply the following information:
The information that you included on your FAFSA.
The Expected Family Contribution, which is the financial amount the government expects you to contribute to your education. This number is used by colleges to determine the amount of your eligibility for financial aid.
Your SAR will indicate whether you are eligible for a Pell grant.
2-4. Submit your college applications and wait for your financial aid package.
After you submit your college applications and you are accepted, the school will provide you with your financial aid package. If you were eligible for a Pell grant and the school participates in the program, then the Pell grant should be included in your aid package.
You can also apply to schools before filling out the FAFSA.
3. Applying for Grants in the European Union
3-1. Locate relevant grant programs.
Similar to the Grants.gov website in the United States, the European Union created a centralized website where users could search for grants and public contracts. Grants are used to co-finance specific projects or missions and usually hold open calls for proposals. The grant website is located at http://ec.europa.eu/contracts_grants/grants_en.htm.
Rather than providing a keyword search function, the European Commission created categories for grants such as “Culture, Education and Youth,” and Employment and Social Rights.
After clicking on the link identified above, you will be redirected to the grant category list. Identify the category that most closely relates to your business or project and click on the category name.
You will be redirected to open grants, also referred to as call for proposals. This page will show you all of the available grants under the selected category.
3-2. Review the materials.
Select each grant under the subheading and closely read the materials related to the grant to determine whether your project or business meets the grant’s requirements.
Closely read the document entitled “call for proposals” (CFP). Occasionally, there will be multiple CFPs and you should review each one, paying particular attention to the most recent.
CFPs will outline the grant application process. Your proposal must address each grant requirement in order to be considered.
3-3. Understand the limitations of EU grants.
All EU grants are a form of complementary financing, meaning that they do not finance projects up to 100%. Only projects taking place outside the European Union have the possibility to be financed in full.
The purpose of EU grants is to allow grant beneficiaries to break-even financially and they are not meant to help generate a profit.
Typically, grants are awarded to public or private organizations, and on rare occasions they are awarded to individuals.
3-4. Apply for a grant.
There are a variety of agencies that manage grants and each grant has different application policies and procedures. An organization that intends to apply for grants should consider the following:.
You must identify the agency or E.U. State that is managing a particular grant. Each agency publishes information about the grant programs that they offer and it is important to review these materials. You can locate a list of managing agencies through a search option at: http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/index.cfm/en/atlas/managing-authorities/.
You must determine whether there are regional limitations to funding by determining which agency manages grants in your region and then contact them to receive specific information about the grants for which you are interested. You can locate contact information for managing agencies through the above link.
Once you have determined that you are eligible, follow the specific grant instructions for applying and include all requested information.
4. Applying for Carnegie Corporation Grants
4-1. Determine if your project meets the funding criteria.
The Carnegie Corporation always accepts requests for funding, however it only welcomes inquiries from potential grantee organizations whose work fits within their grant-making programs: education; democracy; higher education and research in Africa; and International peace and security. Carnegie grants are available to universities, colleges, and institutions related to higher learning and citizenship. They do not offer grants to:
Individuals.
Religious organizations.
Political campaigns.
Scholarships and endowments.

Applying for a Federal Pell Grant\\n2-1. Choose a college that is a right fit and accepts Pell grants.\\nChoosing the right college is an important decision. The amount of financial aid you receive may help you narrow down your choices. Pell grants are financial awards given based on economic need to low-income undergraduates and some students seeking degrees beyond college. If you think that you may qualify for a Pell grant, consider the following:\\nPell grants do not need to be repaid like student loans. Therefore, if you qualify for a Pell grant you can significantly reduce the amount of your college tuition with no further financial repayment obligation.\\nWhen choosing a college, you should check with the school’s financial aid office to make sure that they participate in the Pell grant program.\\nWhen researching schools, be sure to identify the Federal School Code for each school so that you can include it on your financial aid application.

You can apply for FAFSA online at https://fafsa.ed.gov and will be required to provide the following information:\\nYour social security number or, if you are not a U.S. citizen, your alien registration number;\\nYour most recent federal income tax returns, W-2s and other documents showing your income;\\nBank statements and/or investment information;\\nInformation showing any un-taxed income, if applicable; and\\nYour FSA id.

Submit your college applications and wait for your financial aid package.\\nAfter you submit your college applications and you are accepted, the school will provide you with your financial aid package.

Grants are used to co-finance specific projects or missions and usually hold open calls for proposals. The grant website is located at http://ec.europa.eu/contracts_grants/grants_en.htm.\\nRather than providing a keyword search function, the European Commission created categories for grants such as “Culture, Education and Youth,” and Employment and Social Rights.\\nAfter clicking on the link identified above, you will be redirected to the grant category list. Identify the category that most closely relates to your business or project and click on the category name.\\nYou will be redirected to open grants, also referred to as call for proposals. This page will show you all of the available grants under the selected category.\\n3-2. Review the materials.\\nSelect each grant under the subheading and closely read the materials related to the grant to determine whether your project or business meets the grant’s requirements.\\nClosely read the document entitled “call for proposals” (CFP). Occasionally, there will be multiple CFPs and you should review each one, paying particular attention to the most recent.\\nCFPs will outline the grant application process. Your proposal must address each grant requirement in order to be considered.\\n3-3. Understand the limitations of EU grants.\\nAll EU grants are a form of complementary financing, meaning that they do not finance projects up to 100%. Only projects taking place outside the European Union have the possibility to be financed in full.\\nThe purpose of EU grants is to allow grant beneficiaries to break-even financially and they are not meant to help generate a profit.\\nTypically, grants are awarded to public or private organizations, and on rare occasions they are awarded to individuals.\\n3-4. Apply for a grant.\\nThere are a variety of agencies that manage grants and each grant has different application policies and procedures. An organization that intends to apply for grants should consider the following:.\\nYou must identify the agency or E.U. State that is managing a particular grant. Each agency publishes information about the grant programs that they offer and it is important to review these materials. You can locate a list of managing agencies through a search option at: http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/index.cfm/en/atlas/managing-authorities/.\\nYou must determine whether there are regional limitations to funding by determining which agency manages grants in your region and then contact them to receive specific information about the grants for which you are interested.

Determine if your project meets the funding criteria.\\nThe Carnegie Corporation always accepts requests for funding, however it only welcomes inquiries from potential grantee organizations whose work fits within their grant-making programs: education; democracy; higher education and research in Africa; and International peace and security. Carnegie grants are available to universities, colleges, and institutions related to higher learning and citizenship. They do not offer grants to:\\nIndividuals.\\nReligious organizations.\\nPolitical campaigns.\\nScholarships and endowments.\\n4-2. Send a letter of inquiry.\\nWrite a letter of inquiry that addresses the following points in five pages or less:\\nWhat problem does your project address and why is this issue significant?\\nExplain how the project meets the current programs’ requirements.\\nSet forth the strengths and skills that your organization and personnel bring to the project.\\nIdentify who will lead the project, key personnel and attach their resumes.\\nWhat will the project prove and what methods will you use? If the project is already under way, what have you accomplished so far? What outcomes do you expect, both immediate and long term?\\nIf you are requesting funding from Carnegie Corporation for a component(s) of a larger project, describe the specific activities that you are requesting the Corporation to fund and how they relate to the larger project.\\nList all sources of potential support.\\nWhat plans do you have to disseminate information to the public about your project?\\n4-3.

2,228 | How to Apply for a Guinness World Record | 1. Getting Started on the Website
1-1. Register for an account on the Guinness World Records website.
Visit https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/account/register?ReturnUrl=%2Faccount to register. Enter your title, name, date of birth, county, country, and email. You’ll also be prompted to create a password.
Write down the password you make somewhere so you don’t forget it later on.
1-2. Check your email inbox for an activation link.
The email will be from the address “[email protected].” Open the email and click on the activation link inside. You’ll be brought to your personal dashboard on the Guinness World Records website.
If you don't receive the email right away, check your spam folder. If you use multiple email accounts, make sure that you are logged into the one you signed up with.
1-3. Click on the green “apply for a record” button on the middle of the page.
You’ll be brought to the record application search page. The page allows you to search through a catalog of records that you can break.
1-4. Search for the record you’re applying for.
Type in a key word into the search bar, then click the red “search” button. Use actual key words and not superlatives. For example, if you’re trying to break the record for walking down a runway in the highest high heels, search for “high heels” instead of “highest.”
If your record spans multiple topics, like high heels and walking, start with the more detailed one. In this case, it would be "high heels."
1-5. Scroll through the list of breakable records and choose the one you want.
Click on the blue “view record” button next to a record to see what the current record is that you’d have to break. Click the yellow “apply now” button when you’re ready to choose a record.
1-6. Meet the minimum requirement if you’re applying for a new record title.
New record titles are records that have not yet been recognized by Guinness World Records. If you submit a new record title that meets all of the Guinness World Records standards and formatting criteria, they will establish a minimum, based on their research, that you must beat to officially have broken the new record.
For example, if you’re applying to break the record for the longest amount of time spent in a VR headset, Guinness World Records may do some research and say that 20 hours is an appropriate benchmark. You'll have to beat that to claim the world record.
1-7. Avoid records that don’t meet the Guinness World Records formatting criteria.
Every type of record, whether it has to do with food or art or extreme sports, has a specific format that needs to be followed. Guinness World Records will only accept records that follow the proper formatting.
For example, the record of most food served in X amount of time is formatted so that X can be 1 hour, 8 hours, 12 hours, or 24 hours. Therefore, if you submitted an application for the record of serving the most food in 15 hours, you wouldn’t be following the formatting criteria and your application would be rejected.
2. Breaking or Setting a Record
2-1. Break a record that is measurable.
Being the tallest person on Earth, eating the most hot dogs, and running the fastest mile are all records that can be measured. Things that are abstract or based on opinion are not measurable.
For example, being the world's "greatest cat lover" is abstract. However, "owning the world's most cat figurines" is measurable.
2-2. Break a record that is universally understandable.
For example, being the fastest swimmer in the world would work as a record because most people in the world understand what swimming is.
2-3. Make sure your record can be broken.
If other people can’t repeat your record and attempt to beat you, your record will not be accepted.
2-4. Make sure your record is verifiable.
You have to be able to prove that you actually broke a record. Claiming that you ate 700 marshmallows in ten minutes when you were younger isn’t something that can be verified (unless you have it on tape).
You'll need two witnesses (not related to you) to sign off on a form saying you successfully broke the record you attempted. Keep that in mind if you're attempting a record that is hard to replicate.
2-5. Break a record that is adequately challenging.
Guinness World Records doesn’t recognize every achievement, just those that are universally challenging. You won’t get a record for leaving your TV on for 2 years straight (even if that’s the longest anyone’s left their TV on for) because you didn’t actually have to do anything that challenging.
2-6. Make sure your record is objective.
You can’t break a record for being the coolest person in the world or having the best sounding voice. Only records that are objective and measurable will be accepted.
2-7. Never attempt a record that is harmful to bystanders or animals.
If you’re putting the lives of people or animals in danger when attempting your record, your application will be rejected.
3. Submitting the Application
3-1. Fill out the application for the record you’ve chosen.
Enter the date you broke the record and the city, county, and country you broke it in. Add a detailed description of how and where you broke the record, and choose from the drop-down menu what your purpose for breaking the record was.
Depending on your record, you may be prompted to enter in a measurement. For example, if you broke the record for owning the largest doll collection, you’d need to enter how many dolls you own into the measurement field.
3-2. Submit your application as standard or priority.
You’ll be prompted to select standard or priority on the “choose an application option” page that comes up after you submit your application. A standard application is free and has a processing time of up to 12 weeks, meaning you could wait 12 weeks before you hear back from anyone. A priority application costs $800 USD (£500) and has a processing time of 5 working days. Click on the yellow “proceed” button below the option you’re interested in.
3-3. Wait for Guinness World Records to review your application.
If you submitted a standard application, you should hear back about your record within 12 weeks. If you submitted the priority application, you should hear back within 5 working days. If your application is accepted, you’ll receive an email prompting you to download the “Guidelines and Evidence Requirements” from your Guinness World Records profile.
3-4. Submit the necessary evidence to prove you broke a record.
Submit all of your evidence online through your Guinness World Records profile. The “Guidelines and Evidence Requirements” you downloaded on your profile will specifically lay out what you need to submit. Different types of records require different forms of evidence, but all record attempts require:
: You’ll have to fill out the Guinness World Records cover letter form, explaining what record you broke and how you broke it.
: You must have two people, not related to you in any way, witness your record attempt. They each have to sign a witness statement and submit it with your evidence.
: By signing the schedule 2 form, you agree to release to Guinness World Records all of the evidence you’re submitting for your record attempt.
3-5. Wait to hear if your record attempt is approved.
If your evidence is approved and your attempt at breaking a record is deemed a success, you’ll officially be a Guinness World Records record holder! As a record-holder, you will receive an official certificate from Guinness World Records featuring your name and the record you broke.

2,229 | How to Apply for a Homestead Exemption in Florida | 1. Checking If You Qualify
1-1. Live in the home for the entire year.
You can only take a homestead exemption for a year if you live in the home as of January 1st. Accordingly, you can't move to Florida during the year and claim a homestead exemption for that year.
For example, say you move to Florida on January 15, 2017. You can't claim a homestead exemption for 2017. However, you can claim the exemption for 2018.
1-2. Check if the home is your permanent residence.
You can only get the exemption if your home is your permanent residence. There are no set number of days you must be in Florida. However, the following factors show permanent residence:
If you file income tax returns, you file them as a Florida resident.
If you vote, you vote in Florida.
If you drive, you have a Florida driver's license.
If you claim another residency-based exemption in another state, then you aren't a Florida resident and you can't claim the homestead exemption in Florida.
1-3. Identify if your home qualifies.
You can receive a homestead exemption if you have legal or beneficial title in the property and it is your permanent residence. You have beneficial title if the property is owned by a trust but you can use the property. However, you can't own the property as a corporation.
If you rent part of the property, the benefit applies only to the portion that is owner-occupied.
1-4. Check if you qualify as a non-citizen.
Generally, only U.S. citizens and permanent residents can claim Florida's homestead exemption. However, non-citizens can claim the exemption if they have children born in the U.S. who live in the home and are dependent on you. In this case, your children have to qualify as permanent residents of the property.
You will need to collect birth certificates and other proof that the children use the home as their primary residence. Talk with your county's property appraiser for more information.
1-5. Don't do anything disqualifying.
You might do something that will cause your county to deny you a homestead exemption. For example, don't do the following:
Avoid renting your home for more than 30 days each year, for two consecutive years.
Don't get a driver's license in any other state.
Don't forget to register your vehicle in Florida if you drive in the state.
Avoid registering to vote anywhere else. You should register to vote only in the county where you are a permanent resident.
1-6. Calculate your exemption.
Every home receives a $25,000 exemption. However, you might also receive up to an additional $25,000 depending on how much your home is worth. This additional exemption won't lower your school taxes, but it will lower other taxes. Consider the following:
If your home is worth $50,000 or less, than you don't receive the additional $25,000. Instead, your exemption is $25,000.
If your home is worth $55,000, you receive an additional $5,000. Your total exemption is $30,000.
If your home is worth $70,000, then you receive an additional $20,000. Your total exemption is worth $45,000.
If your home is worth $75,000 or more, you receive an additional $25,000. Your total exemption is worth $50,000.
2. Completing an Application
2-1. Gather required documents.
You need to show the appraiser quite a bit of documentation in order to claim the homestead exemption. Accordingly, you should gather this material as soon as possible. Collect the following for each of the property's owners:
Florida driver's license or, if you don't drive, a Florida ID card. If you own the property with your spouse, then both of you need to submit ID.
Florida vehicle registration if you own or drive in Florida. Leased vehicles are included.
Florida voter information card or a declaration of domicile which you have recorded with the Clerk of the Court. A declaration of domicile is a document filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court that declares your intention to keep a Florida residence as your permanent home. Pick up these documents at any district court or County Recorder's Office.
If you aren't a citizen, you should bring your permanent resident card and your declaration of domicile recorded with the Clerk of the Court.
Social Security card or a document (such as an income tax return) that has your number on it. You need to submit your spouse's card even if they are not a co-owner of the property.
Copy of your deed, tax bill, or Notice of Proposed Property Taxes. A recorded deed is preferable.
Copy of your trust document if the property is held in trust.
Certificate of registration or title if the property is a mobile home.
A Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) for active military personnel showing that Florida is their state of legal residence.
2-2. Visit the Property Appraiser's Office.
You can apply at this office, or download an application and submit it with documentation to the property appraiser. Look online to find the address and hours of business.
If you are homebound, then contact the office and schedule a visit.
2-3. Complete an application.
Download the application from the county website or stop in and pick up a paper copy. You must provide the following information on the application:
name and mailing address
previous address
whether you received tax exemptions for the property
whether you or your spouse received or claimed tax benefits in another county, state, or country
proof of residence for all owners
other information about the property
signatures and date
2-4. Submit on time.
You must submit your application by March 1st of the current tax year. For example, if you want to claim the exemption for 2017, you must file by March 1, 2018.
However, you might be able to late file. Contact your Property Appraiser's Office. In Martin County, for example, you can late file up to 25 days from the date Notices of Proposed Property Taxes are mailed.
2-5. Appeal if denied.
You can appeal a denial of the homestead exemption by filing a petition with your county's Value Adjustment Board. However, you should probably first ask for an informal conference with the appraiser. You can file your petition after meeting the meeting.
You can get a petition form from the county appraiser or clerk in your county. You may also download the form, which is available at the Florida Department of Revenue's website. File your petition within 30 days of the date you are mailed the denial notice.
You can have someone help you at the hearing. For example, you can ask a friend or family member. Alternately, you can hire an attorney or a licensed real estate appraiser.
If you lose before the board, you can appeal to a circuit court.
2-6. Submit another application if you move.
The homestead exemption is not transferable. You'll need to complete a new application when you move. List your new home address.
Once you receive your exemption, the assessed value of your homestead cannot increase more than 3% a year or the percentage change of the Consumer Price Index. Although you can't transfer the homestead exemption, you can transfer this tax savings to a new home.
3. Seeking Additional Homestead Exemptions
3-1. Identify exemptions for military veterans.
Veterans in Florida may qualify for additional property exemptions or discounts. You can apply for them with the county appraiser. Consider the following:
Former servicemembers who were honorably discharged and are partially disabled while serving in wartime may obtain a $5,000 deduction in property assessment value. This deduction can be applied to any property, not only your homestead. In some circumstances, a veteran's surviving spouse may qualify.
Veterans who were honorably discharged and have a total and permanent disability may qualify for total exemption from taxes on their homestead property. In some situations, a surviving spouse may also qualify.
Veterans 65 or older may qualify for a discount on the assessed value of their property if they are partially or permanently disabled.
Current or former members may also receive an exemption if they were deployed during the previous calendar year outside the U.S. Your deduction will equal the amount of time you were outside the country. This benefit is available to members of the U.S. military, Coast Guard, and the Florida National Guard.
3-2. Check if you qualify for a senior citizen exemption.
This exemption is available to those 65 or older who meet certain income requirements. You must apply by March 1st. To qualify, you must meet the following:
The property must qualify for a homestead exemption.
One homeowner must be 65 years of age on January 1 for the year you claim the exemption.
Your household's gross income must not be too high. As of 2017, the limit is $28,841. You'll need to present proof of income, such as your Social Security Statements and Federal Income Tax Returns.
3-3. Learn about the second senior citizen exemption.
Amendment 11 provides for a second exemption for seniors who have lived in their homes for a long time. The exemption is equal to the total assessed value of your home. However, it is optional, and not all taxing authorities have adopted it. If your taxing authority has, then you will qualify if you meet the following criteria:
You have lived in your home for at least 25 years.
Your home has a market value of less than $250,000.
You are age 65 or older.
Your adjusted gross income is less than $28,841. This amount will change each year.
Tips
If you have specific questions, you should contact your county appraiser or a Florida attorney who specializes in taxes or real estate.

Identify exemptions for military veterans.\\nVeterans in Florida may qualify for additional property exemptions or discounts. You can apply for them with the county appraiser. Consider the following:\\nFormer servicemembers who were honorably discharged and are partially disabled while serving in wartime may obtain a $5,000 deduction in property assessment value. This deduction can be applied to any property, not only your homestead. In some circumstances, a veteran's surviving spouse may qualify.\\nVeterans who were honorably discharged and have a total and permanent disability may qualify for total exemption from taxes on their homestead property. In some situations, a surviving spouse may also qualify.\\nVeterans 65 or older may qualify for a discount on the assessed value of their property if they are partially or permanently disabled.\\nCurrent or former members may also receive an exemption if they were deployed during the previous calendar year outside the U.S. Your deduction will equal the amount of time you were outside the country.

Learn about the second senior citizen exemption.\\nAmendment 11 provides for a second exemption for seniors who have lived in their homes for a long time.

2,230 | How to Apply for a Job | 1. Creating Your Application Materials
1-1. Search for jobs that fit your strengths and skill set.
Most organizations post available jobs online. Visit employment websites like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Monster to find job listings. Type in keywords for the type of job you want to see what’s available. Additionally, check if companies in your industry have job openings listed on their website. You might also check the classifieds in your area.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, you might focus your search on industries that are essential or that are part of the pandemic response. For instance, warehouses, package delivery services, grocery stores, and healthcare providers may be hiring. Similarly, you might be able to get a job as a contact tracer, phone customer service representative, or online educator.
1-2. Research the company before you apply.
Do an online search to find the company’s website, social media pages, and any news articles that are out there. Read about their company mission, current projects, and available positions. Take notes so you’ll be able to include this information in your resume and cover letter.
If the interviewer or hiring manager is listed, look up their LinkedIn profile and social media pages to learn more about them. Use this information to help you relate to them so you might have an edge over your competition. For instance, you might find that you went to the same school or have the same degree, and you could highlight that in your cover letter.
Pay attention to their current goals and company needs. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, some employers have different needs than usual. Incorporate these things into your application materials.
1-3. Write a resume
After you write your resume, get someone you trust to proofread it to make sure you don’t have any errors and you didn’t leave anything out. Include the following information on your resume:
Your name, contact information, and email address at the top.
Your educational background or training you’ve done.
Your work history, including your responsibilities and achievements.
Special knowledge and skills.
1-4. Tailor your resume to each job description.
You might be tempted to use the same resume for each job application, but you’re more likely to get an interview if you adjust your resume for each individual job. Review the job description and incorporate the keywords into your resume. Focus mostly on the skills and education you have that are directly related to the job you're currently applying for.
During the COVID-19 outbreak, highlight your remote work and technical skills because they're currently in demand for some jobs.
Use active verbs to describe the work you’ve done at prior jobs or volunteer work. For instance, use verbs like "designed," "implemented," "innovated," or "analyzed."
1-5. Ask 3 people to be references for you.
Many employers ask you to provide professional references who can speak to your job performance. Choose people who’ve worked closely with you in the past, such as a former supervisor or coworker. Talk to the people you want to use as references to make sure they’re okay with you providing their information to the employer. Then, confirm their contact information so you can include it on your application.
Get each reference’s full name, phone number, email address, current title, and current employer.
1-6. Write a cover letter
A cover letter is your chance to tell the employer exactly why you want the job and why they should hire you over the other candidates. Use an enthusiastic tone in your cover letter to convey your excitement for the job. Additionally, tailor your cover letter to the person who is interviewing candidates if possible so they know you pay attention to details. You might include the following in your letter:
Why you’re interested in the position.
How you’ll be an asset to the company or organization.
Why you’re the best person for the job.
What you hope to learn from the job.
1-7. Update your LinkedIn profile if you have one.
You don’t need a LinkedIn profile to get a job, but it may help employers get more information about you. Make sure all of the information on your profile is current and accurate. Use your profile to include information about you that doesn’t fit on your resume due to limited space.
For instance, you might include more information about projects you’ve worked on or volunteer positions you’ve held that just don’t fit in the space you have on your resume.
Add keywords related to remote working and technology skills if you’re applying for a job during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Virtual networking is becoming a popular way to make job contacts during the COVID-19 outbreak. Polish your profile and try to make connections with people in your industry.
1-8. Make sure your online presence is squeaky clean.
Employers and recruiters often scour the internet looking for you, and any negativity they see may make them eliminate you as a candidate for the job. Review the public content on all of your social media profiles. Change your privacy settings to hide anything you don’t want seen. If necessary, delete posts that are outdated and don’t represent who you are now.
For instance, you might hide or delete photos of you during nights out on the town. Similarly, you might delete old posts where you complained about a job or joked around at work.
Consider asking a few friends to review your profiles and tell you if they spot anything that might turn off a potential employer.
2. Submitting an Application Online
2-1. Read the job description thoroughly to make sure you’re qualified.
Review the job description at least twice to make sure you understand what the employer is looking for. Highlight specific skills and educational qualifications you have. Additionally, look for the keywords the employer might be expecting to see on a resume.
For instance, keywords might include things like “remote work,” “self-starter,” “innovative,” or “team player.” Skills you might notice could include “proficiency in Zoom” or “ability to work with others.”
2-2. Check the application requirements with the employer if you’re using a jobs site.
While employment websites are an excellent resource for helping you find a job, sometimes the job posting on a jobs site may differ from the employer’s posting. When this happens, you may accidentally submit the wrong materials or leave out important information that can sabotage your chances of getting the job. Before you submit your application, review the original job posting on the employer’s website to make sure you follow the instructions exactly.
For instance, the employer’s website may say to send your cover letter and resume directly to the person who’s interviewing the candidates. Similarly, they may ask you to address specific things on your resume, like your previous salary.
2-3. Fill out every field on the application.
You may get frustrated if the application asks you to re-enter information you’ve already provided, like the contents of your resume. However, entering this information on the application itself makes it easier for the employment software to scan your information to see if you’re a good fit for the job. Additionally, it’s generally easier for the interviewer to read. Make sure you give full and accurate answers for each question to give yourself the best chance at getting the job.
Consider typing your answers in a word processing document so you can easily proofread it. Then, copy and paste it into the application.
If you want the employer to know something about you, such as past job responsibilities that relate to the position you want, include it in the relevant application fields. Don’t assume they’ll see it on your resume.
Don’t use the auto-fill feature on the application because you might accidentally enter the wrong information in the box.
2-4. Import your resume and cover letter, if requested.
Many employers ask for a resume and cover letter, even if you’re submitting an application, as well. Look for a button on the website where you’re applying that say’s “import” or “upload.” Click on this button and select the document files you want to send the employer. Check that your documents uploaded properly before you submit your application.
Make sure you pick the right document for this job. It might help to clearly label your resume and cover letter so you know which one is for which job.
2-5. Review your application to make sure it’s free of errors.
Mistakes on your application may make the employer think you don’t pay attention to details, so it might hurt your chances of getting the job. Read over all of your responses to verify that you didn’t make any errors. Correct any mistakes you made and add additional details if you think some of your answers are too vague.
Double check for typos, misspellings, and grammatical errors. Some employers might ignore your application if they spot these types of mistakes because they likely have a lot of applicants to sort through.
2-6. Submit your application through the website if you’re using one.
When you’re ready to send in your application, look for a button that says “submit.” It will likely be on the bottom of the screen. Click this button to send your application and uploaded materials to the employer.
After you hit “submit,” you likely won’t be able to correct your application, resume, or cover letter. Make sure everything is perfect before you send in your application.
2-7. Email your materials to the employer if you’re applying directly.
Some employers may prefer that you send your resume and cover letter directly to the hiring manager or human resources department. Enter the email address into the email form and check that it’s right. Create a subject line that fits the instructions in the job posting. Then, attach your resume and cover letter. Type out a short message to the recipient telling them that you’re interested in the job and have attached your materials.
Your subject line might be, “Applicant for IT Position,” “Resume and Cover Letter for Gallery Attendant,” or “In Response to Job Posting.”
Your short message might say, “I’m excited to apply for the position of Gallery Attendant with your museum. As a museum member, I’ve spent many hours in the galleries, so I’ll be a great fit for the position. Please find attached my resume and cover letter, which will show you how I’ll be an asset for your organization.”
3. Applying for a Job In-Person
3-1. Dress like you’re going to a job interview.
Your first impression with a potential employer is very important, so wear professional attire, no matter what type of job you want. This shows the employer that you’re taking your job hunt seriously.
You might wear a button-up shirt, slacks or a skirt, and dress shoes. To really enhance the professionalism of your outfit, put on a blazer or cardigan over your ensemble.
If you’re applying for a job in retail or restaurant work, you might get a quick first interview on the spot.
3-2. Ask to talk to the hiring manager.
Smile and greet the employee who first makes contact with you. Then, say that you’re looking for a job and would like to talk to the hiring manager. Wait patiently for the person to come meet with you.
Say something like, “Hi, I’m here to ask about a job. Is your hiring manager available for a quick conversation?”
If they’re unavailable, ask when is a good time to return. You might say, “When would be a good time for me to come back?”
If you see that the business is super busy, it’s best to come back at a later time. You won’t make a good first impression if you put your needs in front of the employees and customers.
3-3. Tell the hiring manager you’re interested in applying for open positions.
Take this moment to quickly explain why you want to work there. Express your interest in the company, then ask if there are open positions you can apply for. If so, ask if you can fill out an application.
You could say, “Hi, I’m Taylor Evans. I’m a regular customer here and am very knowledgeable about your products, so I think I’d be an asset to your business. I was wondering if you have any unfilled positions.”
Keep in mind that some organizations don’t have applications. In that case, they may just take your resume.
3-4. Hand the company representative a copy of your resume.
It’s always a good idea to bring your resume with you because it shows you’re dedicated to getting the job. Give your resume to the hiring manager to look at when they have time. If they review it immediately, answer any questions they might have for you.
Only bring in 1 or 2 copies of your resume. Otherwise, the hiring manager may think you’re applying everywhere. Even if that’s the case, you want them to think that you’re specifically interested in their workplace.
Don’t expect the hiring manager to read it right away, as they may be really busy. Keep a positive attitude even if they tuck it away.
3-5. Fill out a job application if the company has one.
The hiring manager may give you a paper application, though they might direct you to fill out an application online. Provide accurate answers to all of the boxes, then double check that you haven’t made any mistakes. If it’s a paper application, smile as you hand it back to them to show you’re excited about the job.
You might hand it to them and say, “Thank you so much for this opportunity!”
3-6. Thank the employees for their time before you leave.
Tell each person that you talked to that you’re grateful for the time they spent talking to you. Be sure to smile as you do this so your thanks seems genuine.
Say something like, “Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me,” or “Thank you for all of your help.”
4. Following up on Your Application
4-1. Contact the employer a week after submitting your application.
Checking on the status of your application shows your interest in the position and ensures that your application materials have made it to the appropriate person. Call the employer, send the employer an email, or message the interviewer on LinkedIn to follow-up. Ask if they’re received your application and inquire about the hiring process.
Keep track of when you applied for each job to make sure you remember to follow-up.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, some hiring managers and human resources departments are overwhelmed and may be working from home. Be mindful of this when you contact them. You might wait a few extra days before contacting them. Additionally, keep your message short and friendly.
4-2. Use a friendly, positive tone when talking to the employer.
You’re likely really anxious for an answer, but you might make a bad impression if you sound nervous or demanding. Be kind to every employee you talk to at the organization. Ask basic questions and accept whatever answer you receive.
For instance, don’t make demanding comments like, “I haven’t been contacted yet,” or “How long will it take for you to go through the applications?” Instead, say something like, “Have any decisions been made,” or “Can you give me a little information about the hiring time frame?”
4-3. Tell them you understand COVID-19 may affect their needs and timeline.
Many employers are adjusting their workforce due to changes in the economy. Additionally, employees may be working remotely and might be handling extra responsibilities. Explain that you understand what they’re dealing with right now and are flexible to fit their needs. Doing so shows them you’re a team player and are willing to adjust as needed if you’re hired.
You might say, “I recognize that the pandemic may affect your hiring needs, but are you still hiring for this position?” or “I know the hiring timeline might shift because of the pandemic, but do you have an overview of what I can expect?”
Tips
Focus on sending a high-quality application to a few jobs that match your skill-level. Don’t just pepper lots of jobs with the same basic application.[29]

For instance, use verbs like \\\"designed,\\\" \\\"implemented,\\\" \\\"innovated,\\\" or \\\"analyzed.\\\"\\n1-5. Ask 3 people to be references for you.\\nMany employers ask you to provide professional references who can speak to your job performance. Choose people who’ve worked closely with you in the past, such as a former supervisor or coworker. Talk to the people you want to use as references to make sure they’re okay with you providing their information to the employer. Then, confirm their contact information so you can include it on your application.\\nGet each reference’s full name, phone number, email address, current title, and current employer.\\n1-6. Write a cover letter\\nA cover letter is your chance to tell the employer exactly why you want the job and why they should hire you over the other candidates. Use an enthusiastic tone in your cover letter to convey your excitement for the job. Additionally, tailor your cover letter to the person who is interviewing candidates if possible so they know you pay attention to details. You might include the following in your letter:\\nWhy you’re interested in the position.\\nHow you’ll be an asset to the company or organization.\\nWhy you’re the best person for the job.\\nWhat you hope to learn from the job.\\n1-7. Update your LinkedIn profile if you have one.\\nYou don’t need a LinkedIn profile to get a job, but it may help employers get more information about you. Make sure all of the information on your profile is current and accurate. Use your profile to include information about you that doesn’t fit on your resume due to limited space.\\nFor instance, you might include more information about projects you’ve worked on or volunteer positions you’ve held that just don’t fit in the space you have on your resume.\\nAdd keywords related to remote working and technology skills if you’re applying for a job during the COVID-19 pandemic.\\nVirtual networking is becoming a popular way to make job contacts during the COVID-19 outbreak. Polish your profile and try to make connections with people in your industry.\\n1-8. Make sure your online presence is squeaky clean.\\nEmployers and recruiters often scour the internet looking for you, and any negativity they see may make them eliminate you as a candidate for the job. Review the public content on all of your social media profiles. Change your privacy settings to hide anything you don’t want seen. If necessary, delete posts that are outdated and don’t represent who you are now.\\nFor instance, you might hide or delete photos of you during nights out on the town. Similarly, you might delete old posts where you complained about a job or joked around at work.\\nConsider asking a few friends to review your profiles and tell you if they spot anything that might turn off a potential employer.\\n2. Submitting an Application Online\\n2-1. Read the job description thoroughly to make sure you’re qualified.\\nReview the job description at least twice to make sure you understand what the employer is looking for. Highlight specific skills and educational qualifications you have. Additionally, look for the keywords the employer might be expecting to see on a resume.\\nFor instance, keywords might include things like “remote work,” “self-starter,” “innovative,” or “team player.” Skills you might notice could include “proficiency in Zoom” or “ability to work with others.”\\n2-2. Check the application requirements with the employer if you’re using a jobs site.\\nWhile employment websites are an excellent resource for helping you find a job, sometimes the job posting on a jobs site may differ from the employer’s posting. When this happens, you may accidentally submit the wrong materials or leave out important information that can sabotage your chances of getting the job. Before you submit your application, review the original job posting on the employer’s website to make sure you follow the instructions exactly.\\nFor instance, the employer’s website may say to send your cover letter and resume directly to the person who’s interviewing the candidates. Similarly, they may ask you to address specific things on your resume, like your previous salary.\\n2-3. Fill out every field on the application.\\nYou may get frustrated if the application asks you to re-enter information you’ve already provided, like the contents of your resume. However, entering this information on the application itself makes it easier for the employment software to scan your information to see if you’re a good fit for the job. Additionally, it’s generally easier for the interviewer to read. Make sure you give full and accurate answers for each question to give yourself the best chance at getting the job.\\nConsider typing your answers in a word processing document so you can easily proofread it. Then, copy and paste it into the application.\\nIf you want the employer to know something about you, such as past job responsibilities that relate to the position you want, include it in the relevant application fields. Don’t assume they’ll see it on your resume.\\nDon’t use the auto-fill feature on the application because you might accidentally enter the wrong information in the box.\\n2-4. Import your resume and cover letter, if requested.\\nMany employers ask for a resume and cover letter, even if you’re submitting an application, as well. Look for a button on the website where you’re applying that say’s “import” or “upload.” Click on this button and select the document files you want to send the employer. Check that your documents uploaded properly before you submit your application.\\nMake sure you pick the right document for this job. It might help to clearly label your resume and cover letter so you know which one is for which job.\\n2-5. Review your application to make sure it’s free of errors.\\nMistakes on your application may make the employer think you don’t pay attention to details, so it might hurt your chances of getting the job. Read over all of your responses to verify that you didn’t make any errors. Correct any mistakes you made and add additional details if you think some of your answers are too vague.\\nDouble check for typos, misspellings, and grammatical errors. Some employers might ignore your application if they spot these types of mistakes because they likely have a lot of applicants to sort through.\\n2-6. Submit your application through the website if you’re using one.\\nWhen you’re ready to send in your application, look for a button that says “submit.” It will likely be on the bottom of the screen. Click this button to send your application and uploaded materials to the employer.\\nAfter you hit “submit,” you likely won’t be able to correct your application, resume, or cover letter. Make sure everything is perfect before you send in your application.\\n2-7. Email your materials to the employer if you’re applying directly.\\nSome employers may prefer that you send your resume and cover letter directly to the hiring manager or human resources department. Enter the email address into the email form and check that it’s right. Create a subject line that fits the instructions in the job posting. Then, attach your resume and cover letter. Type out a short message to the recipient telling them that you’re interested in the job and have attached your materials.\\nYour subject line might be, “Applicant for IT Position,” “Resume and Cover Letter for Gallery Attendant,” or “In Response to Job Posting.”\\nYour short message might say, “I’m excited to apply for the position of Gallery Attendant with your museum. As a museum member, I’ve spent many hours in the galleries, so I’ll be a great fit for the position. Please find attached my resume and cover letter, which will show you how I’ll be an asset for your organization.”\\n3. Applying for a Job In-Person\\n3-1. Dress like you’re going to a job interview.\\nYour first impression with a potential employer is very important, so wear professional attire, no matter what type of job you want. This shows the employer that you’re taking your job hunt seriously.\\nYou might wear a button-up shirt, slacks or a skirt, and dress shoes. To really enhance the professionalism of your outfit, put on a blazer or cardigan over your ensemble.\\nIf you’re applying for a job in retail or restaurant work, you might get a quick first interview on the spot.\\n3-2. Ask to talk to the hiring manager.\\nSmile and greet the employee who first makes contact with you. Then, say that you’re looking for a job and would like to talk to the hiring manager. Wait patiently for the person to come meet with you.\\nSay something like, “Hi, I’m here to ask about a job. Is your hiring manager available for a quick conversation?”\\nIf they’re unavailable, ask when is a good time to return. You might say, “When would be a good time for me to come back?”\\nIf you see that the business is super busy, it’s best to come back at a later time. You won’t make a good first impression if you put your needs in front of the employees and customers.\\n3-3. Tell the hiring manager you’re interested in applying for open positions.\\nTake this moment to quickly explain why you want to work there. Express your interest in the company, then ask if there are open positions you can apply for. If so, ask if you can fill out an application.\\nYou could say, “Hi, I’m Taylor Evans. I’m a regular customer here and am very knowledgeable about your products, so I think I’d be an asset to your business. I was wondering if you have any unfilled positions.”\\nKeep in mind that some organizations don’t have applications. In that case, they may just take your resume.\\n3-4. Hand the company representative a copy of your resume.\\nIt’s always a good idea to bring your resume with you because it shows you’re dedicated to getting the job. Give your resume to the hiring manager to look at when they have time. If they review it immediately, answer any questions they might have for you.\\nOnly bring in 1 or 2 copies of your resume. Otherwise, the hiring manager may think you’re applying everywhere. Even if that’s the case, you want them to think that you’re specifically interested in their workplace.\\nDon’t expect the hiring manager to read it right away, as they may be really busy. Keep a positive attitude even if they tuck it away.\\n3-5. Fill out a job application if the company has one.\\nThe hiring manager may give you a paper application, though they might direct you to fill out an application online. Provide accurate answers to all of the boxes, then double check that you haven’t made any mistakes. If it’s a paper application, smile as you hand it back to them to show you’re excited about the job.\\nYou might hand it to them and say, “Thank you so much for this opportunity!”\\n3-6. Thank the employees for their time before you leave.\\nTell each person that you talked to that you’re grateful for the time they spent talking to you. Be sure to smile as you do this so your thanks seems genuine.\\nSay something like, “Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me,” or “Thank you for all of your help.”\\n4. Following up on Your Application\\n4-1. Contact the employer a week after submitting your application.\\nChecking on the status of your application shows your interest in the position and ensures that your application materials have made it to the appropriate person.

Ask if they’re received your application and inquire about the hiring process.\\nKeep track of when you applied for each job to make sure you remember to follow-up.\\nDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, some hiring managers and human resources departments are overwhelmed and may be working from home. Be mindful of this when you contact them. You might wait a few extra days before contacting them. Additionally, keep your message short and friendly.\\n4-2. Use a friendly, positive tone when talking to the employer.\\nYou’re likely really anxious for an answer, but you might make a bad impression if you sound nervous or demanding. Be kind to every employee you talk to at the organization. Ask basic questions and accept whatever answer you receive.\\nFor instance, don’t make demanding comments like, “I haven’t been contacted yet,” or “How long will it take for you to go through the applications?” Instead, say something like, “Have any decisions been made,” or “Can you give me a little information about the hiring time frame?”\\n4-3. Tell them you understand COVID-19 may affect their needs and timeline.\\nMany employers are adjusting their workforce due to changes in the economy. Additionally, employees may be working remotely and might be handling extra responsibilities. Explain that you understand what they’re dealing with right now and are flexible to fit their needs. Doing so shows them you’re a team player and are willing to adjust as needed if you’re hired.\\nYou might say, “I recognize that the pandemic may affect your hiring needs, but are you still hiring for this position?” or “I know the hiring timeline might shift because of the pandemic, but do you have an overview of what I can expect?”\\nTips\\nFocus on sending a high-quality application to a few jobs that match your skill-level.

Consider calling up your local office or paying them a visit in person if you think a recruitment advisor may be able to give you some good tips.
2. Preparing to Apply
2-1. Apply for a visa and/or work permit.
Many overseas jobs will not consider you for a position unless you already have a visa or work permit organized. Be sure you understand the requirements for a visa or work permit and know that you will be able to meet them before thinking seriously about applying for a job abroad. The embassy of the country you want to work in will provide information for applying for a Visa.
Ensure you have a full and valid passport before inquiring about a visa.
You can also look online for visa requirements and application cycles for different countries.
Country specific information is provided on the website of the US State Department.
2-2. Make contacts and use your networks.
Finding a job abroad can be a difficult prospect. You have to demonstrate not only that you are a good person for the job, but that you can offer something more than the prospective local candidates who will most likely take less time to adapt to the new working environment. Because of this, and the difficulties of breaking into a foreign working culture, it is especially important that you utilize your contacts and networks as much as possible.
Use online networks as well as your college alumni association to create contacts with people working in your field abroad.
Once you find people who have made the move abroad successfully, ask them for advice and guidance on how you can do the same.
2-3. Consider the language requirements.
The language requirements will vary depending on the type of job you are interested in getting. For example, if you are working for the US government abroad you may find that the majority of people in your office are American and business is conducted solely in English. If you are applying to work in a foreign firm you will probably be expected to be able to work in the native language.
Ensure you know the expectations and can meet them before you apply for a position.
Even if you do not need to be fluent in the local language to get a job, having a command of basic phrases at the minimum will make life abroad easier.
If you are not required to speak the local language you should make it clear in your application that you are keen to learn and will take evening classes once you arrive.
3. Applying For a Position
3-1. Get your resume in order.
When you are ready to apply for a job abroad you need to do all the things you would do when applying for a job in your home country. This includes ensuring your resume is in good order and up to date. When you are applying for a job abroad you have to consider the specific requirements of a resume in the country you are applying to work in.
This could include your marital status and the number of children you have. You need to research the requirement in the country you are applying to.
An international resume is more likely to be focused on your cross-cultural skills and how your personality matches the employers ideal profile.
In Europe a resume is called a CV or curriculum vitae.
3-2. Stress your skills and adapt to the local culture.
Applying for an overseas job is similar to applying for any job. Employers will look at your skills to make sure they meet the job requirements. If you don't have a preference for what foreign country to move to and have specialized skills, do some research to find out which countries are in need of applicants with those skills.
When writing up your resume keep in mind the culture of the place you are applying to work and try to adapt to that.
Working cultures vary hugely across the world so it's important that you can demonstrate an understanding and appreciation of the working culture in the country you are applying to work in.
If the jobs was advertised in a foreign language you should generally apply in that language.
3-3. Prepare for your interview.
If you are applying for a job abroad there is a reasonable chance that at least the initial interview will be conducted either over the phone or through Skype. If this is the case you should prepare as you would for a face to face interview. Dress up smartly to help get you into the appropriate frame of mind, and consider standing up to keep your voice sounding strong.
3-4. Conduct yourself appropriately during the interview.
If you are going to have an interview in the country you have applied to work in, do some research on interview customs and expectations. For example, if you have an interview in Japan you will bow deeply when you enter the room, but you wouldn't do that in any other country. In China it is not the custom to shake hands when you meet someone so do not initiate a handshake, but if someone offers you their hand follow their lead.
If you are in an international business environment there may be a range of nationalities and a mix of customs so pay attention to how people interact.
Be sure to check with the Human Resources department of your prospective employer if you are uncertain about the expectations of you for the interview.

2,232 | How to Apply for a Job at Target | 1. Finding Open Positions Online
1-1. Go to https://corporate.target.com/careers/.
Open your browser to Target's main hiring page instead of their main shopping page. From this main page, you'll be able to search in a variety of ways for open job positions. If you'd like to see a listing of every available Target job, leave the Search All Jobs field blank and click Search.
This will give you all of the available positions and you can narrow them down as you like.
1-2. Pick the state and store location you'd like to work at.
Once you choose the state, you'll see a list of all the stores that are hiring. Then, pick the store you want to work at to see which positions they're hiring for. You can filter the results based on the career area, which includes:
Hourly positions
Human resources
Marketing and communications
Store management
1-3. Select an application for Target stores or distribution centers.
When you click one of these options, you'll have to verify your age. For example, some jobs require that you're at least 18 years old. Then, to search for jobs under one of these headings, choose the state and location where you'd like to work.
1-4. Choose a position to apply for.
Once you've found a position that Target's hiring for, read the job description to see if you're interested in it. Then, read the requirements and job expectations so you know if they'll consider you for the job.
For example, some distribution center positions might require that you're able to lift a heavy load.
Human resource positions usually require that you have experience with scheduling and interviewing.
If you'd like to be a store manager, you'll need to have a 4-year degree, open availability, and strong communication skills.
To help develop products for Target, the company needs you to be able to travel and you should have a background in working with a team.
2. Submitting an Application
2-1. Gather all of the information you need to fill out the application.
In order to sign out and back into the application, provide your social security number, address, and contact information.
It's also a good idea to have the contact info for your education or employment references handy.
2-2. Click Apply Now to start a new application.
Be prepared to spend about 15 minutes filling out the application once you click the Apply Now button. You can make an electronic-signature in order to save the application and sign in later. Keep in mind that you have to finish filling out the application within 96 hours of starting it.
You can fill out the online application in English or Spanish.
2-3. Fill in the details of the application.
After you've given your basic info, you'll need to sign a drug-free workplace agreement and verify that you're legally allowed to work in the U.S. You'll also have to give:
Employment history with references
Education level and which languages you speak
When you can start working
Availability for the job you want
2-4. Review your application for accuracy before you submit it.
On the last screen before submitting your application, you'll see all of the information you provided. Read over it carefully to catch any errors in:
Personal information
Positions you're applying for
Educational experience
2-5. Provide your e-signature and submit the application.
Enter the same e-signature that you created at the start of the application and press the submit button. You'll see a screen that confirms your application.
Target will review your application and it will stay on file for 60 days. If you don't hear anything within 60 days, you can fill out a new application.
3. Improving Your Chance of Being Hired
3-1. Accept a seasonal position even if you want a more permanent job.
If you're trying to get a part-time or full-time job with Target, don't be disappointed if they offer you a seasonal job. Keep in mind that once you're employed with the company, they're more likely to consider you for these permanent positions.
When you're offered the job, don't be afraid to ask if the seasonal position could lead to a permanent job.
3-2. Give Target open availability.
Try to keep your available schedule as open as possible by listing all the times you could possibly work. Target is more likely to hire you if they know they'll be able to work you into their team's schedule.
For example, instead of saying you can only work Tuesdays and Thursdays between 4 and 10, say that you can work all weekday mornings and afternoons.
3-3. Call Target a few days after submitting your application.
Wait at least 3 to 4 days after you submit your application and then call the Target location that you applied for. You can ask to speak to the hiring manager. Then, explain that you recently put in an application and were wondering if you could come in for an interview. Mention the job you're trying to get and ask if the position has been filled yet.
Touching base with Target shows them that you're truly interested in the job, but avoid calling them more than once or twice.
3-4. Prepare
If Target calls and wants to set up an interview with you, practice answering some of the questions they may ask you. Questions might include:
Why do you want to work for Target?
How would you deal with an upset customer?
What do you know about the company?
What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?
How have you dealt with a problem in a past job?
3-5. Pass
Although you don't need to wear a suit to the interview, wear clean, professional clothes and arrive a few minutes early so your interviewer knows you'd take the job seriously. If you find that you're anxious, take a few calming breaths and try to relax. Try to be conversational and professional as they ask you questions.
Avoid bringing drinks or food into the interview since it seems informal and unprofessional.
Remember to turn off your phone and wait until after the interview to respond to calls or texts.
Tips
Don't hesitate to contact customer service if you're confused about any part of the application process.
If Target hires you, be prepared to start working within 60 days.

2,233 | How to Apply for a Job in Canada | 1. Organizing Paperwork
1-1. Find out if you are eligible to enter Canada if you don’t already live there.
Non-residents will need to legally enter Canada before they can start working. Being a national security threat, violating international human rights, having a criminal record of certain crimes, having a health condition that’s dangerous to public health, or being unable to support yourself financially upon entering Canada are all reasons you may be found inadmissible.
Visit the government immigration website of Canada at http://www.immigration.ca/grounds-for-inadmissibility/ for more information on your admissibility into the country.
1-2. Obtain a work permit if you will need one.
Non-residents of Canada will need to either immigrate, get a temporary work permit, or work as a student. There are a few jobs that do not require a work permit, such as foreign government officials, performance artists, athletic team members, and emergency service providers.
To see a complete list and get more information about jobs that do not require a work permit in Canada, visit the official government immigration website at http://www.immigration.ca/jobs-that-do-not-require-a-work-permit-in-canada/.
You can apply for a work permit online at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/work.asp. You’ll need to have access to a scanner or camera to create electronic copies of your documents, such as your passport, as well as a valid credit card to pay the $155 fee. The website also provides instructions on how to submit a paper application if you prefer.
1-3. Apply for a Social Insurance Number (SIN) if you don’t already have one.
If you were born in Canada, you probably already have an SIN. You will need to provide this number to future employers. If you were not born in Canada, you’ll need to apply for an SIN when you arrive to the country.
To apply for a Canadian SIN, visit the official government SIN website at https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/sin.html .
1-4. Write a resume or curriculum vitae.
A resume is also called a Curriculum Vitae (CV) in Canada. It is a 1-page summary of your job experiences and qualifications, and is required by most employers. List your contact information at the top, then detail your education and dates of graduation, your job experience (beginning with the most recent), and your relevant skills.
Be sure to proofread your resume or CV carefully, as employers may consider errors a red flag that you do not pay attention to detail.
2. Searching for Jobs
2-1. Research companies where you want to work.
A good way to find a job is to look up specific companies in your field on the Internet. For instance, if you’re a lawyer, start searching law firms in the area of Canada you’re planning to live. If you’re a chef, research restaurants in the area you’re moving to.
When researching companies, consider if you think you’ll be a good match as an employee for them. If so, visit their employment page to see if they’re hiring and how to apply for a position.
2-2. Go to job fairs in your city or town.
If you already live in Canada, meet employers and discuss jobs at local job fairs. Job fairs often occur on college campuses and in metropolitan business districts. Check when job fairs are happening near you by searching the web for the name of your city or town and job fairs.
If you're moving to Canada but are not sure where you want to live, visit job fairs in several towns.
2-3. Check Job Bank or other websites for current job postings.
Job Bank is a large job search website through the Canadian government that has up to 2,000 new job postings every day. You can search any type of job for any area of Canada through the search engine.
Visit Job Bank at https://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home for more information.
2-4. Use an employment agency for help.
There are both private and government-based employment agencies in Canada that can assist you in finding a job. Find a Service Center Canada for lists of government employment services and training help.
The Service Center Canada website is http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/tbsc-fsco/sc-hme.jsp?lang=eng.
2-5. Talk to family and friends about jobs near you.
Some jobs aren’t advertised, and the only way you’ll find out about them is through word of mouth. Let your family, friends, and neighbors know that you’re looking for a job in a certain field.
3. Applying and Interviewing
3-1. Write a cover letter for the specific job you’re applying for.
A cover letter tells a specific employer why you should be considered for their company. It is usually 1 or 2 short paragraphs. When writing a cover letter, it’s helpful to research the company to see exactly what they’re looking for in employees.
3-2. Fill out the job application completely and honestly.
When you find a company that’s hiring that you are interested in working for, spend as much time as you need filling out their application. Remember that the application and your resume and cover letter are the only information about you that the company has so far, so you’ll want to make sure they are impressive.
Be sure that your application is free of grammar and spelling mistakes. Ask a friend or acquaintance to proofread it for you before submitting it.
3-3. Show up on time and well-dressed for your interview.
If a company likes your application, resume, and cover letter, they will invite you to come in for an interview. Smile and be confident during the interview. Remember that not only is the company interviewing you, you are interviewing them.
Be prepared to answer questions about your background, experience, knowledge, and expertise in the field for which you are interviewing.
Dress professionally in clean, wrinkle-free clothes that are suitable for the workplace.
3-4. Follow up
If a company is very impressed with you, you may get a job offer immediately. However, it’s common for a company to take a few days or even a week to finish their round of interviews before deciding who they will hire for the position. Take a moment to write an email or call the individuals who interviewed you to thank them for their time.
In your message or email, say something like, “I wanted to thank you again for your time and say it was a pleasure to meet you. I look forward to hearing back from you about the position I interviewed for.” Leave your contact information again at the end of the message.

2,234 | How to Apply for a Job in Person | 1. Determining If You Should Apply in Person
1-1. Read the job ad carefully.
In today's digital world, the vast majority of job applications are accepted online. Similarly, the corresponding job advertisement for the position is usually posted on the company's web site as well as popular job postings site such as Monster, Indeed, and Glassdoor (non-profits tend to use Idealist and Opportunity Knocks).
Always check the company's web site to make sure they are currently hiring. You can usually find these listed under tabs labelled "Careers" or "Employment Opportunities." Do not just drop by a business if there is no job opening.
Check the job ad for information on how to apply. If the job states you should apply in person at their store or office, then it is acceptable to do this.
If the job ad says "No calls," it is safe to assume that they also do not want you to show up in person unless they ask you to.
Employers who commonly accept applications in person include restaurants, grocery stores. and other retail businesses. These employers often have an immediate need to fill and are therefore eager to expedite the hiring process. They also usually do not require a resume to apply. Determine what time the business is least busy so that a manager will have time to speak with you when you come in.
1-2. Look for a sign.
Some businesses will post a sign on their entrance stating "Help Wanted" or some version of that. If you see a sign like this, it is a clear indication your can inquire about a position in person.
Make sure you look presentable and polished when you go inside, even if you just plan on asking about a job instead of submitting a resume or cover letter. Have clean, brushed hair, fresh breath, and non-wrinkled clothes.
While you don't need to wear a full suit simply to receive an application, you should look pulled together. Consider wearing slacks, a business skirt and blazer, and a tucked in, button-down shirt.
1-3. Do not stop by unannounced.
If you have applied for a job, you might think it will give you a competitive edge to actually stop by the office. Perhaps you believe that this will show your sincere interest in the job. But the hiring manager could easily see this as an inconvenient or even disrespectful act.
Keep in mind that when a hiring manager has to sift through dozens, if not hundreds, of applications for a single position, they are looking for candidates who can follow instructions and respect their hiring system. Breaking their rules will most likely make them remember you for the wrong reasons.
2. Applying in Person
2-1. Bring a resume.
You have to provide the required materials in order to be considered seriously when you apply for a job. Most jobs will require a resume, which is a catalogue of your professional experience, and a cover letter, which is a letter in which you explain your interest in the position and why you are qualified to fill it.
For your resume, list your relevant work experience chronologically. Include the name of your employer, the title of your position, and the dates you worked there. As you describe your duties at each place, use active language such as "created,""executed,""met target,""designed,""produced," etc. for each entry in your history.
Include your transferable skills. If you are applying for a job that is in a new field or discipline, focus on skills from your previous experience that you can apply to this position. This would include things like conflict resolution, customer service, verbal and written communication, problem solving skills, etc.
2-2. Bring a cover letter.
A cover letter is an opportunity to let your employer know more about you as a person and why you are interested in the company. It should not simply restate all of your experience listed in the resume. Use it as an opportunity to demonstrate your personality and professional writing skills. Also, explain why you are a good candidate for the position.
Your cover letter should be just a page in length and clearly organized. Most examples include roughly 3 paragraphs, with each paragraph covering a main point.
In the first paragraph, you should introduce yourself and explain what position you are applying for. Include 1 or 2 sentences on how you are a good fit for the company generally.
In the second and third paragraphs, you should include a specific example of a time you accomplished something in your career that will make you a good fit for the demands of the job. Provide detail in your examples. Did you organize a seminar at your most recent job? Did you find creative ways to meet your quotas?
Be sure to thank the reader for their time and also include any contact information, such as an email or phone number.
2-3. Bring additional materials.
These might vary depending on the requirements of the job, but it might include a writing sample or a portfolio of creative work.
You should also include a list of references or even letters of recommendation if they are requested.
Keep these documents in a folder or portfolio so they will not get wrinkled as you carry them with you.
2-4. Dress appropriately.
If you are dropping off your resume and cover letter, you want to look professional and competent. While you don't need to be dressed for a full interview (a suit and tie), you should look like you could professionally represent the company.
Business casual wear such as slacks or khakis and a button down shirt and blazer will be appropriate for men. Women can also wear business slacks, a button down shirt or blouse, a pencil skirt or a more professional dress.
Make sure your footwear is also professional and understated. Leave the sneakers at home. Black or navy dress shoes with a heel under 3 inches (7.6 cm) are the most appropriate.
2-5. Be polite.
When you enter the office, smile and introduce yourself to the administrative assistant at the front desk or reception area. Explain that you want to submit your application materials for the position. The administrative assistant might take these from you or he will direct you to the appropriate person for submitting these documents.
Do not be rude or talk down to the person at the front desk. Often the boss will ask the receptionist for their impressions of the applicants; you don't want to stand out for the wrong reasons.
2-6. Be brief.
Do not ask to take a tour of the office or meet with your potential boss. This will be viewed as an imposition on the workers at the office.
Similarly, do not harass the secretary about the status of your application after you have submitted it. If the company wants to interview you, they will contact you. Do not contact them.
3. Conducting Informational Interviews
3-1. Consider asking for an informational interview.
If there is a business or an industry you would like to work for, but there are no current openings, consider asking for an informational interview.
An informational interview is an opportunity to talk to someone whose career you admire. Perhaps they work in an industry you are interested in transitioning into or maybe they work for your dream company.
Remember that the informational interview is not a job interview. It is an opportunity for you to get advice from someone whom you admire, to learn more about their career path, and for you to put yourself in their professional network.
3-2. Look in your network.
Perhaps you have someone in mind that you would like to talk to, but if you don't, you can always start by looking within your network. Consider people who have graduated from your high school, college or graduate school. You will automatically have something in common with this person and it is likely they will want to help you.
While you can search alumni directories from your school, you can also search for alums on professional networking sites like LinkedIn.
You an also ask friends of friends or contacts other colleagues may have for an informational interview.
3-3. Ask appropriately.
Send an email or LinkedIn message to the interviewee asking them for an informational interview. Tell them you are interested in learning more about their work and career path. You can offer to take them out for a cup of coffee or ask to meet them at their office.
It might feel a little awkward to contact someone you've never met before, but it is likely your interviewee will be flattered to receive such a request.
3-4. Come to the interview prepared.
Even though the informational interview is a casual meeting, you should still be prepared with different questions. You could ask a question such as, "How much experience do you have in the field?"
If your interviewee works in a more advanced or specialized role in your profession, you might ask them for details on their route to that position or what kinds of responsibility they take on there.
Having questions prepared lets the interviewee know that you respect their time and want this to be a productive conversation.
Keep the interview short. You should budget somewhere between 20-30 minutes unless your interviewee states a longer time.
3-5. Thank your interviewee.
After your interview, be sure to send a thank you note or email to your interviewee. It is very important to let your interviewee you know you appreciate that they took time out of their schedule to share their wisdom with you.
3-6. Keep in touch.
Informational interviews are especially helpful because they allow you to expand your network. If you see your interviewee at an industry event or a conference, be sure to say hello and keep in touch.
Most importantly, when a job opens up at your dream company, you will already have a contact in place.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Determining If You Should Apply in Person\\n1-1. Read the job ad carefully.\\nIn today's digital world, the vast majority of job applications are accepted online. Similarly, the corresponding job advertisement for the position is usually posted on the company's web site as well as popular job postings site such as Monster, Indeed, and Glassdoor (non-profits tend to use Idealist and Opportunity Knocks).\\nAlways check the company's web site to make sure they are currently hiring. You can usually find these listed under tabs labelled \\\"Careers\\\" or \\\"Employment Opportunities.\\\" Do not just drop by a business if there is no job opening.\\nCheck the job ad for information on how to apply. If the job states you should apply in person at their store or office, then it is acceptable to do this.\\nIf the job ad says \\\"No calls,\\\" it is safe to assume that they also do not want you to show up in person unless they ask you to.\\nEmployers who commonly accept applications in person include restaurants, grocery stores. and other retail businesses. These employers often have an immediate need to fill and are therefore eager to expedite the hiring process. They also usually do not require a resume to apply. Determine what time the business is least busy so that a manager will have time to speak with you when you come in.\\n1-2. Look for a sign.\\nSome businesses will post a sign on their entrance stating \\\"Help Wanted\\\" or some version of that. If you see a sign like this, it is a clear indication your can inquire about a position in person.\\nMake sure you look presentable and polished when you go inside, even if you just plan on asking about a job instead of submitting a resume or cover letter.

Do not stop by unannounced.\\nIf you have applied for a job, you might think it will give you a competitive edge to actually stop by the office. Perhaps you believe that this will show your sincere interest in the job. But the hiring manager could easily see this as an inconvenient or even disrespectful act.\\nKeep in mind that when a hiring manager has to sift through dozens, if not hundreds, of applications for a single position, they are looking for candidates who can follow instructions and respect their hiring system. Breaking their rules will most likely make them remember you for the wrong reasons.\\n2. Applying in Person\\n2-1. Bring a resume.\\nYou have to provide the required materials in order to be considered seriously when you apply for a job. Most jobs will require a resume, which is a catalogue of your professional experience, and a cover letter, which is a letter in which you explain your interest in the position and why you are qualified to fill it.\\nFor your resume, list your relevant work experience chronologically. Include the name of your employer, the title of your position, and the dates you worked there. As you describe your duties at each place, use active language such as \\\"created,\\\"\\\"executed,\\\"\\\"met target,\\\"\\\"designed,\\\"\\\"produced,\\\" etc. for each entry in your history.\\nInclude your transferable skills. If you are applying for a job that is in a new field or discipline, focus on skills from your previous experience that you can apply to this position. This would include things like conflict resolution, customer service, verbal and written communication, problem solving skills, etc.\\n2-2. Bring a cover letter.\\nA cover letter is an opportunity to let your employer know more about you as a person and why you are interested in the company. It should not simply restate all of your experience listed in the resume. Use it as an opportunity to demonstrate your personality and professional writing skills. Also, explain why you are a good candidate for the position.\\nYour cover letter should be just a page in length and clearly organized. Most examples include roughly 3 paragraphs, with each paragraph covering a main point.\\nIn the first paragraph, you should introduce yourself and explain what position you are applying for. Include 1 or 2 sentences on how you are a good fit for the company generally.\\nIn the second and third paragraphs, you should include a specific example of a time you accomplished something in your career that will make you a good fit for the demands of the job. Provide detail in your examples. Did you organize a seminar at your most recent job? Did you find creative ways to meet your quotas?\\nBe sure to thank the reader for their time and also include any contact information, such as an email or phone number.\\n2-3. Bring additional materials.\\nThese might vary depending on the requirements of the job, but it might include a writing sample or a portfolio of creative work.\\nYou should also include a list of references or even letters of recommendation if they are requested.\\nKeep these documents in a folder or portfolio so they will not get wrinkled as you carry them with you.\\n2-4. Dress appropriately.\\nIf you are dropping off your resume and cover letter, you want to look professional and competent. While you don't need to be dressed for a full interview (a suit and tie), you should look like you could professionally represent the company.\\nBusiness casual wear such as slacks or khakis and a button down shirt and blazer will be appropriate for men. Women can also wear business slacks, a button down shirt or blouse, a pencil skirt or a more professional dress.\\nMake sure your footwear is also professional and understated. Leave the sneakers at home. Black or navy dress shoes with a heel under 3 inches (7.6 cm) are the most appropriate.\\n2-5. Be polite.\\nWhen you enter the office, smile and introduce yourself to the administrative assistant at the front desk or reception area. Explain that you want to submit your application materials for the position. The administrative assistant might take these from you or he will direct you to the appropriate person for submitting these documents.\\nDo not be rude or talk down to the person at the front desk. Often the boss will ask the receptionist for their impressions of the applicants; you don't want to stand out for the wrong reasons.\\n2-6.

4. Being Responsible
4-1. Learn the pros and cons of a store credit card.
There are various pros and cons to using a Macy's store credit card. Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the benefits and drawbacks before committing to applying for the card.
The pros are most store credit cards offer discounts and promotions for card holders. With the American express, Macy's offers 1.5% cash back on purchases if you spend between $500 and $999 a year. If you spend over $1,000 a year at Macy's, you get 3% cash back on purchases. If you're a frequent Macy's shopper, the card may be worth the cost. A store card can also help you build your credit history.
Store cards tend to have very high interest rates. You also may end up being tempted to spend money you would otherwise save to meet spending quotas for store rewards. If you're not a frequent Macy's customer, and question your ability to pay off the card regularly, you may be better off passing on a Macy's credit card.

If you tend to forget deadlines, you can set up an AutoPay system in which a certain amount of money is transferred from your bank account to your Macy's card each month. To avoid interest, set up AutoPay to pay the balance in full each month.
You can also make payments by mailing checks to the Macy's branch associated with your credit card. This payment method can take longer, however, so make sure you mail in checks well before payments are due.
You can also pay by phone by calling the number 1-888-257-6757.

2,238 | How to Apply for a Marriage License in Kentucky | 1. Getting a Marriage License in Kentucky if Both Parties are over 18
1-1. Visit the county clerk’s office to apply for a marriage license.
You can apply to any county clerk’s office, unless the bride-to-be is under 18 years old. In that case, you must apply at the clerk’s office in the county where she resides.
Both parties must be present to obtain a license.
Some counties have more than one office. For example, Jefferson County has seven different branch locations you could use. Check your county’s website for specific locations.
1-2. Present your identification.
You will need to present a Social Security card or some other government-issued form of identification in order to complete the application for a marriage license.
Until July 15, 2016, the county clerk is required to report the Social Security numbers of all marriage license applicants to the Cabinet for Health and Family Services to verify that there are no outstanding child support issues. After July 15, 2016, the Social Security number will be requested as a form of identification, but the number will not be recorded or shared with any other agency.
At least one county clerk’s website says that a Social Security card is not required, but some other identification is acceptable (driver’s license, passport). You may wish to check with the specific clerk you intend to use.
1-3. Complete the marriage license application.
The application will ask you to provide certain information, along with signing a statement that all the information is true, to the best of your knowledge. The information that you must provide, for each person, is:
name
date of birth
place of birth
race
gender
current marital “situation” (single, divorced, widowed)
number of previous marriages
occupation
current residence (you must provide your residence, but you are not required to be a Kentucky resident)
relationship to each other (in Kentucky, nobody who is related any closer than second cousin may get married)
full names of parents
date of marriage
1-4. Pay the fee for the marriage license.
In any county in Kentucky, the fee for obtaining a marriage license is $35. The clerk’s office is able to accept cash, certified checks, cashier's checks or money orders. In some cases, credit cards are acceptable as well. You should check the county’s website or call the clerk’s office to verify.
1-5. Complete the marriage ceremony within 30 days of receiving your license.
If the 30-day time frame lapses, both applicants must repeat the whole process, which includes re-paying the $35 fee.
2. Getting a Marriage License in Kentucky if Either Party is Under 18
2-1. Apply in the county where the bride lives.
This is a requirement if the bride-to-be is under 18 years old. Otherwise, you can apply in any county in Kentucky, if the bride-to-be is 18 years old or older. There is no similar requirement based on the age of the male.
2-2. Get your parents’ consent.
If either of the people getting married is under 18, but over 16, then that person's parent must consent to the marriage, in writing. If both the bride and groom are under 18, then the parents of each must consent. Your parents will need to complete a Consent to Marriage Form, which is available from the clerk’s office.
This applies to people who are under 18, but over 16, years old. This includes people who have had their 16th or 17th birthday.
If your parents are divorced or separated and there has been an order issuing them joint custody, then they both must sign the application.
If your parents are divorced or separated but there has not been an order of joint custody, then the parent who has legal custody must be the one to give consent.
If a court has ordered a legal guardian for the person under 18, then that guardian must give consent.
2-3. Get an order from a judge under special circumstances.
If the female getting married is pregnant, and is under 16 years of age, then you must apply for an order from a District Judge to get a marriage license. This is the only circumstance that allows someone under 16 years old to get married.
There is an additional $5 fee for a District Judge consent order.
2-4. Be prepared for the consequences if you don’t have consent.
If someone under 18 gets married in Kentucky without the proper consent, the court will issue a “receiver.” This is someone, appointed by the court, who will take legal possession and control of your property until you turn 18. During that time, the receiver will pay your bills and expenses, and is entitled to take a fee for his services out of your property as well.
2-5. Complete the marriage license application.
After you have the appropriate consent, you will both need to visit the county clerk and complete the marriage license application. You will need proper identification, in the form of a social security card, passport or driver's license, and a $35 fee. To complete the application, you will need to provide:
name
date of birth
place of birth
race
gender
current marital “situation” (single, divorced, widowed)
number of previous marriages
occupation
current residence (you must provide your residence, but you are not required to be a Kentucky resident)
relationship to each other (in Kentucky, nobody who is related any closer than second cousin may get married)
full names of parents
date of marriage
Tips
At least two witnesses must be present at the wedding.
There is no blood test requirement for a marriage license in Kentucky.

2,239 | How to Apply for a Marriage License in Michigan | 1. Preparing to Apply
1-1. Confirm that you and your partner are eligible to marry one another.
You can visit the Michigan government website for their laws regarding eligible marriages.
Age - You must be at least 16 years old to get married in Michigan. If you are under 18 years of age, you must show a certified copy of your birth certificate and have the written consent of one parent or legal guardian, who also must appear at the time of application with picture identification (such as a driver's license or passport).
Family Relation - Note that Michigan does not grant marriage licenses for marriages between members of the same family, including between first cousins. Marriages between second cousins is not, however, considered illegal.
Sex - As of June 2015, same-sex and different sex partners are allowed to get married.
1-2. Gather the appropriate identification and documentation.
Each party will need the following to fill out and submit the marriage license application:
Valid driver's license or state ID to show proof of identification and residency. Note that you do not need to be a resident of Michigan to marry in the state. More information on this is provided in step 3.
Certified copy of birth certificate. Hospital certificates and/or baptismal certificates will not be accepted. You can also use a valid passport if you do not have a certified copy of your birth certificate, but note that you will need to provide the full names of both parents and the state or country in which they were born. If a previous marriage ended in divorce in the last six months before you If it was within the last 6 months, you will need to bring proof of the divorce that can be left with the Clerk.
Social Security numbers of both parties.
Any information regarding previous marriages including full name of former spouse, date of divorce or death, county, and state of dissolution or death of spouse. If you are divorced within the last 6 months, you will need to bring proof of the divorce that can be left with the Clerk.
1-3. Locate the county clerk's office in the county where you live.
This is where you will submit your marriage application.
If you are a Michigan resident (meaning you have a valid driver's license or state I.D.), you must apply in the county where you live. If both partners are Michigan residents, you can apply in either county. The license is valid throughout the state.
Out-of-state couples who want to get married in Michigan need to apply to the county in which they are to be married. The license is only valid for that county.
2. Applying for a Marriage License
2-1. Go to the county clerk's office and fill out the Marriage License application.
Bring all of your supporting documentation. A number of counties also offer online applications that you can fill out online instead of going to the clerk's office.
2-2. Pay the license fee.
Michigan residents pay a $20 fee. Out-of-state wedding applicants pay $30. Most offices accept cash, credit cards, and money orders. Note that if you pay online, you must pay with a credit card.
If you are applying in person, it is a good idea to plan to bring cash. Some offices will only accept cash payments.
A probate court can waive the fee in cases where there is undue hardship. Check with your local county clerk if this is an option for you.
2-3. Wait three days after filing the application.
After applying in person or online, you can pick up your marriage license on the third day following the date of application (provided that you meet all of the requirements above). You must pick up your license at the office where you filed the application.
In some counties, you can apply for a waiver of the three-day waiting period for a $10 fee. Check in advance with your county clerk's office to confirm whether this is an option for you.
One or both parties must appear to apply for the marriage license, or if you applied online, you must pick the license up in person. If only one applicant is present, you must have all items listed above for both parties (a photocopy, front and back, of your partner's driver's license or state ID will be accepted).
Your license will come with an original copy and a duplicate. The original goes back to the clerk's office after the marriage is pronounced, and you get the other one for your own records.
2-4. Get married!
The license is valid for 33 days. If your ceremony is more than 34 days from the date of application, your license will not be valid and you will need to reapply.
Prior to the wedding ceremony, hand the application to the person solemnizing the wedding vows.
A marriage can be solemnized by a district court judge in Michigan, a district court magistrate in Michigan, a municipal judge in Michigan, a judge of probate in Michigan, a federal judge, a mayor in the county, a county clerk, or a minister of the gospel or cleric or religious practitioner in Michigan. Non-resident ministers of the gospel and clerics and religious practitioners can also solemnize marriages in Michigan as long as he or she is authorized to solemnize marriages according to his or her state's laws.
After the ceremony, have the authorized official who performed the marriage ceremony sign the marriage license, along with the bride and the groom and two witnesses (who must be at least 18 years of age). The part marked "duplicate" is given to the newlyweds, and the original must be submitted to the county clerk that issued it within 10 days.
The marriage license can be used as proof of marriage if one party wishes to change her name after the marriage.

2,240 | How to Apply for a Marriage License in Mississippi | 1. Preparing to Apply
1-1. Confirm that you and your fiancé are legally entitled to marry one another.
One of you must be residents of Mississippi and hold a valid state-issued ID.
Age: Both parties must be at least 21 years old to marry in Mississippi without consent from parents or guardians. If either person is under 21 years old, you must have a notarized consent form with you when you turn in your marriage license application. Female applicants can get married at 15 and male applicants have to be at least 17.
Family relationships: The state of Mississippi bans marriages between immediate family members. Cousins are prohibited from marrying in Mississippi as well.
Unconventional marriage bans: Mississippi doesn’t allow common law or proxy marriages. Common law marriages are established once a couple has lived together for a period of time, expressed the desire to marry, but never held a formal ceremony. Proxy marriages are normally granted to those who by necessity cannot live together — couples where work forces them to live a part.
1-2. Collect the necessary documentation.
You’ll need a government issued ID for proof of age. Your birth certificate or driver's license will suffice.
Harrison County, Mississippi accepts "driver's license, birth certificates, military ID, DD214(this is retirement, separation, or discharge certificate from the military), Baptismal certificate, Life Insurance records, school record, or any other official document evidencing age.
If you’ve been divorced in the last 6 months, you’ll need to bring proof of divorce.
If you are a naturalized American citizen, you’ll need to bring your naturalization papers, in addition to your state-issued ID and birth certificate. If your birth certificate is printed in another language, you’ll need to get a notarized translation of the documents.
As of July 1, 2012, blood tests are no longer required for marriages.
1-3. Decide whether or not you want to change your last name.
There are no laws that mandate surname changes in Mississippi. Convention allows for men and women to retain their original surnames, to adopt their spouse's surname, or to hyphenate. In order to change your surname in Mississippi, you’ll need to provide proof of the change to your local DMV office. This includes officially changing your name with the Social Security Administration.
1-4. Find a place to apply for your marriage license.
There are 63 county clerk’s offices around Mississippi that you can appear at to apply for a marriage license. Determine which Mississippi County you want to apply to for a marriage license. If you and your fiancé are over the age of 21, you can apply in any county. If the bride-to-be is under the age of 21, she must apply in the county of her residence.
2. Applying for Your License
2-1. Go to the appropriate circuit court.
Both spouses need to be present in order to apply for a marriage license. In most cases one witness will be required to sign your marriage application. If a witness is required getting the certificate, the clerk probably can serve as the witness, but you may want to bring friends with you when you apply for your marriage license. People usually ask their best man or maid of honor to act as the official witness.
2-2. Apply for a marriage license by completing the required information.
You’ll need to include your full names, names and addresses of your parents (including the maiden name of your mother), age, date of birth, place of birth, highest level of education completed, number of previous marriages, and a description of why previous marriages ended.
The application itself is provided on premises or can be downloaded online and filled out at home. Applications change depending on which county. Make sure you print out the right application. Just make sure to sign the document in front of the county court clerk.
2-3. Pay the appropriate fee of approximately $21 (prices may vary).
In most offices, you can pay this fee with a money order or credit card . Some offices may also accept cash or checks, but you should contact them beforehand to make sure.
2-4. Wait 3 days for your license.

After your 3 day waiting period, you’ll be able to pick up your marriage license and then you have 30 days to get it signed by your wedding officiant or a justice of the peace. Clergy, mayors, local Board of Supervisors members, and judges of the state of Mississippi Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, Circuit court, Chancery court, Justice court, or County court may legally officiate the wedding.

2,241 | How to Apply for a Marriage License in New York | 1. Preparing to Apply
1-1. Know who can marry in New York.
The state of New York does not require couples to be residents of New York to marry in the state. However, marriage licenses issued in New York must be used within the state of New York. Certain restrictions do apply:
Age. Individuals under 14 cannot get a marriage license. Applicants who are 14 or 15 years old must show written consent by both parents and a judge. This judge can be from a family court in the applicant’s county of residence. A judge from the New York Supreme Court may also provide the necessary assent. Applicants who are 16 or 17 must show written consent from both parents. No consent is necessary for applicants who are age 18 or older.
Family relationship. New York does not grant marriage licenses to ancestors and their descendants (e.g., parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren), siblings, or aunts/uncles and their nieces/nephews. First cousins may marry.
As of 2015, same-sex couples can legally marry in all states. You may apply for a marriage license even if you already have a domestic partnership or civil union. The application procedures are the same as for heterosexual couples.
1-2. Have one of the following documents as proof of your age and identity.
Each person must have at least one of the following documents when applying for a marriage license. You will also need to provide your Social Security Number if you have one.
Birth Certificate
Baptismal record
Naturalization record
Census record
If you are a refugee and do not have a birth certificate, you must get a signed and sealed record of your name, birth date, birth place, and parents’ names from your sponsoring agency.
If the document is in a foreign language, you must provide a certified translation into English along with the original. A certified translation will be signed, dated, and contain a statement that attests the accuracy of the translation.
1-3. Bring a form of photo ID.
In addition to the birth-related document, each person must provide an accepted form of photo ID. New York accepts the following types of documents:
Driver’s license
Passport
Employment picture ID
Immigration record
1-4. Provide documentation of previous marriages.
If either you or your partner were previously married, you must furnish information about those marriages on the application. You must say whether the former spouse is living and whether the marriage ended by divorce, annulment, or death.
If divorced, you must be able to give your previous spouse’s full legal name, the date that the divorce decree was finalized, and the city, state, and country that issued the divorce.
You may also be required to show a certified copy of the divorce decree or other dissolution document.
1-5. Make sure you have your parents’ information.
The application for a marriage license requires you to give your parents’ birth names and country of birth.
1-6. Decide on your surname.
If you wish to change your legal surname after marriage, the easiest way to do so is to indicate it on your application for the marriage license. Once your marriage is completed, the name you provide on the license application becomes your legal surname.
Surnames do not automatically change after marriage. You must choose your legal surname. One or both parties may choose to change their surnames.
You do not have to change your surname to be legally married.
In the state of New York, you must choose from the following options for the surname change:
one spouse’s surname for both partners
a surname that combines elements of both spouses’ surnames
both spouses’ surnames, separated by hyphen
2. Applying for Your License
2-1. Go to the city or town clerk's office.
You may get a marriage license valid in the state of New York at any city or town clerk’s office. Both parties must appear in person to apply for a marriage license. Each of you must bring the appropriate documentation listed above.
A representative cannot apply for a marriage license on your behalf, even if the person has been granted a Power of Attorney. You cannot use a notarized marriage license affidavit to substitute for your personal appearance at the office.
Some locations, such as New York City, allow you to fill out the application online. This will make the in-person application process faster. Both parties must still appear at the clerk's office to complete the application and sign the application.
2-2. Fill out the application.
If you do not fill out an online application first, you must complete the application in the office where you are applying for a license.
Read the application carefully to make sure you have not made any proofreading or other errors. It can be difficult to correct these errors after the license has been filed.
The New York State Department of Health has a sample copy of a marriage license/certificate here.
2-3. Pay the New York marriage license fee.
In most offices, you may use a money order or credit card to pay this fee. Some offices may also accept cash or checks, but you should contact them beforehand to make sure.
If you apply for a marriage license in New York City, the fee is $35. The City Clerk of New York City accepts only credit card or money order as payment.
If you apply for a marriage license anywhere else in the state of New York, the fee is $40.
2-4. Receive the marriage license as soon as the application is complete.
After you get your marriage license, you have 60 calendar days to complete the marriage ceremony. The counting period begins one day after issuance.
Military personnel may have 180 days to get married.
2-5. Apply for a judicial waiver, if necessary.
Once you get your marriage license, you must wait a minimum of 24 hours from the exact time of issuance. (For example, if you were issued your license at 10:48 A.M., you would not be eligible to marry until 10:48 A.M. the following day). However, if you must get married before this period is over -- for example, your spouse is being deployed in the military -- you may apply for a judicial waiver of the waiting period.
You must request a waiver from the county clerk’s office where you obtained your marriage license. A judge will give the waiver order.
If you are 16 or older, you can request the waiver order from a judge of the county court in the county where at least one applicant resides. You can also request a waiver order from a justice of the New York Supreme Court.
If you are under 16, the waiver order must come from a family court judge in the county where you reside.
2-6. Verify the required signatures are on the marriage license after the wedding ceremony.
Both spouses, a witness, and an eligible officiant must all sign the license for it to be valid.
There is no minimum legal age for a witness to a marriage ceremony. However, your witness should be able to sign his/her name and testify about the ceremony if necessary.
There are many choices for an eligible officiant. Clergy or ministers of any religion, mayors of cities and towns, the city clerks of cities of more than a million people, federal judges, state judges, and justices of the peace can be officiants. Ship captains are not eligible officiants in the state of New York.
If you wish to get married in the City of New York, your officiant must register with the City Clerk’s office in Manhattan. The fee to register is $15. The registration requirement applies only to marriages performed in the five boroughs of New York City.
After the wedding, the officiant should send the completed license back to the issuing city clerk's office for recording.
Tips
Your new surname will become your legal surname after the marriage certificate has been signed and filed. However, you still need to tell Social Security and other institutions such as your bank about your name change. Your name will not automatically change with these institutions.
You don’t need a premarital medical examination or blood test to get a New York marriage license.
If you plan to change your surname after the wedding, be sure to include that in the marriage license application. That makes it easier for you to change your surname with Social Security as well as other institutions where you do business.
Warnings
Be sure to have your marriage ceremony performed within 60 days of getting your license. If the license expires you will have to apply (and pay the fee) again.
Bring all of your documentation with you when you go to apply for a marriage license. You will not be able to complete your application without proper documentation and photo ID.
The 24-hour waiting period runs from the exact time that your license was issued. If you were issued your license at 3:22 P.M., you must wait until at least 3:22 P.M. the following day to get married.

1-1. Make sure that you and your significant other meet the age requirements to get married in Pennsylvania.
In order to get married in Pennsylvania, you and your significant other must be at least 18 years-old with a government-issued photo ID as evidence of age, or follow the procedures for an underage marriage.
It is legal to get married in PA if you are 16 or 17 years old, but parental consent is required before a marriage license can be issued. An original copy of the underage bride’s or groom’s birth certificate is also required.
If either party is under 16, parental consent is required, along with an order of approval from a judge of the Orphans Court.
1-2. Gather all required documents before you apply for your marriage license.
In addition to a government issued photo ID, there are several other documents that you may need depending on your situation.
Both parties must possess a valid Social Security number.
Both parties must also provide evidence that any prior marriages have been legally ended through divorce, annulment or death. The bride and groom may not be legally married to any other individual at the time of application.
If you and/or your significant other were married before, you will need to bring appropriate documentation to prove that you are no longer married. This documentation could be an official divorce decree, annulment decree or death certificate.
1-3. Be aware of special rules that may apply to your situation.
There are some special rules that you should be aware of in case one of them applies to your situation.
Same sex marriage is legal in Pennsylvania as of May 20, 2014.
If you or your significant other is a foreign national, you must present a valid and unexpired passport at the time you apply for the license.
If one of the applicants does not speak English, a 3rd party translator who is at least 18 years old must be present at the time of the application. Applicants are not allowed to translate for each other.
First cousins who are blood relatives are not eligible to get married under the laws of Pennsylvania.
1-4. Plan to submit your marriage license application at least three days before your wedding.
Most Pennsylvania counties require a 72-hour waiting period following the date of the most recent application. Check with your local office of vital statistics for specific application deadlines and estimated processing time.
2. Applying for a Marriage License
2-1. Visit your county courthouse or district justice office to complete and submit the marriage license application.

2-2. Complete the application.
You must use blue or black ink and print clearly. Make sure that all of the information that you write while filling out the application is true and accurate. Read through the application after you have finished it to make sure there are no mistakes.
2-3. Pay the license application fee.
The typical fee is $80, however you should confirm payment requirements with the specific county office to which you are submitting your application.
2-4. Pick up your marriage license when it is ready.
Since PA requires a 72 hour waiting period, it will take at least three days to get your license. It may take four or five days depending on when you apply for a license. For example, if you apply for your license on a Wednesday, you may not get your license until Monday because the office will be closed for the weekend.
2-5. Get married within 60 days of receiving the marriage license.
Pennsylvania marriage licenses are valid for 60 days, during which time the marriage must be solemnized and the completed marriage license returned to the county register of wills.
Tips

2,243 | How to Apply for a Marriage License in Virginia | 1. Preparing to Apply
1-1. Determine if you and your partner are eligible to marry one another.
The state of Virginia does not require couples to be residents of Virginia to marry there. However, marriage licenses issued in Virginia must be used within the state of Virginia. The following regulations also apply:
Legal status. Neither partner may be currently married to another person.
Family relationship. You and your partner may not be related to one another by blood or adoption. The state of Virginia does not allow marriages between ancestors and descendants (e.g., parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, siblings, or aunts/uncles and their nieces/nephews. Step-siblings cannot marry. However, first cousins may marry.
Competence. Both partners must be mentally capable of choosing marriage.
As of October 6, 2014, same-sex marriage is legal in Virginia. Virginia also recognizes same-sex marriages from other states and countries. The application process is the same as for heterosexual couples.
1-2. Confirm you are old enough to marry one another.
You and your partner must be over age 18 to marry without parental consent. If you are 16 or 17, you must have parent or legal guardian approval.
Your parent or legal guardian can consent in person during the application process. The consent may usually also be given in notarized written form when it is sworn before a notary public.
Special consent is possible when the female partner is under the age of 16 and is pregnant. If the female partner is under 16 and has been pregnant within the previous nine months, consent may be given if a physician documents the prior pregnancy. Parent or guardian consent is required in both cases. Consent must be given in the county or jurisdiction where the female partner lives in these cases.
1-3. Gather the necessary documents.
The various circuit courts require proof of identity and date of birth. Government-issued documents such as drivers' licenses, passports, Military IDs, birth certificates, and Social Security cards should be sufficient. Check with your specific Circuit Court for their requirements, as they may vary.
If you or your partner have been previously married, you should plan to provide proof that the previous marriage has ended.
Virginia does not require blood tests to obtain a marriage license.
If your divorce decree is in another language, you must provide a certified translation. A certified translation will be signed and dated by the translator and vouch that the document has been accurately and competently translated.
1-4. Visit the directory of Virginia’s Individual Circuit Court homepages.
You may apply for a marriage license in any circuit court in Virginia. You do not have to be married in the same county as the one where you apply.
You can find the directory here.
1-5. Click on the county where you wish to apply for the marriage license.
This will take you to a directory page that contains the clerk’s name, clerk’s office hours, and phone and address information.
Click on the “local website” link in the upper right corner to go to the individual court’s website. This local website will give you information about applying for a marriage license at that court, such as hours, fees, and identification requirements.
For example, at the Arlington Circuit Court, marriage licenses are given M-F from 8AM-4PM. Marriage license fees are $30 and can be paid by cash or Visa/MasterCard (4% service charge applies). ID such as a driver’s license, passport, or Military ID is required.
1-6. Call the Circuit Court where you wish to apply to verify their requirements.
In some cases, such as those involving the marriage of a minor, Circuit Courts may require additional documentation or other steps. Call your Circuit Court clerk to make sure you know all the requirements before you go to apply.
Some Circuit Courts do not maintain a website. Calling by phone is the best way to verify information.
1-7. Decide on your surname.
If you wish to change your legal surname once you are married, the easiest way to do this is to indicate the desired new name on your application for the marriage license. Once the marriage is legally completed, the name you provide on the marriage license application will become your legal surname.
Your surname will not automatically change when you marry.
You do not have to change your surname to be legally married.
You may choose to use the same surname for both partners. You may also choose a combined or hyphenated surname.
2. Applying for Your Marriage License
2-1. Appear in person at the circuit court office.
You and your partner must be present at the same time to apply. Virginia does not require witnesses to apply for a marriage license. Make sure to bring all the necessary documentation and payment.
In some circuit courts, parents or legal guardians of minors may be required to appear in person to consent to the minor’s marriage. Check with your circuit court before applying.
2-2. Fill out the application.
You must complete the application in the Circuit Court office where you are applying for a license.
Read the application carefully to make sure that you have not made any errors. Even simple spelling errors for a surname change can be very difficult to correct once the license has been filed. Changes may require a court order.
Some Circuit Courts may have an online “pre-application” for available. Pre-applying online will expedite the application process, but both of you must still appear in person at the Circuit Court to complete your application.
2-3. Pay the requested fees.
The fee to apply for a marriage license in Virginia will vary depending on the Circuit Court at which you apply. Verify the fee and payment options ahead of time.
The fee is not legally allowed to be more than $50.
Some Circuit Courts may not accept some forms of payment, such as debit or credit cards. Check with your Circuit Court before going to apply.
2-4. Receive your marriage license as soon as the application is complete.
There is no waiting period to marry once you receive your marriage license. The license is valid for 60 calendar days.
If you do not use the license to get married within 60 days, you will have to re-apply and pay a new fee. Most Circuit Courts do not offer refunds.
2-5. Verify the required signatures are on the marriage license after the wedding ceremony.
Both spouses and an eligible celebrant (the person conducting the ceremony) must sign the license for it to be valid. Virginia does not require other witnesses to be present at the ceremony or sign the license.
Eligible religious celebrants must be authorized by a Virginia Circuit Court prior to performing the wedding ceremony. Out-of-state ministers must present themselves and documentation of their ordination and pastoral appointment to the Circuit Court office.
Online ordinations, such as those from the Universal Life Church or American Marriage Ministries, are usually not recognized by Circuit Courts.
Religious individuals whose religious tradition does not have ordained ministers may be married by a person appointed by that tradition.
Each Circuit Court maintains a list of appointed individuals who are eligible to perform civil marriage ceremonies. A non-religious celebrant may be authorized to perform a marriage ceremony by order of the Circuit Court issuing the marriage license.
2-6. Ensure that your celebrant returns the necessary forms.
Your celebrant must sign and return the Marriage Register and the Marriage return forms (obtained at the Circuit Court office) within 5 days of the marriage ceremony.
If the celebrant does not return these forms, Virginia will not have a record of your marriage.
Tips
You are not required to have witnesses sign your marriage license.
A Virginia marriage license is valid at any location within the state, no matter which circuit court you apply to.
No blood tests are required in Virginia for marriage.
Warnings
If you or your partner is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or otherwise mentally impaired, your marriage license application will be denied.
A Virginia marriage license expires in 60 days from issuance. If you have not completed your marriage ceremony within this time frame, you will have to reapply for an additional marriage license and pay another fee.
Marriages known as "common law" marriages in other states are not accepted or granted in the state of Virginia.

2,244 | How to Apply for a Passport | 1. Preparing to Apply for a U.S. Passport
1-1. Determine your eligibility.
You can do this by using a wizard online through the U.S. State Department. The wizard will start by asking your current residence, your date of birth, and whether you’ve had a U.S. passport before.
You won’t be able to get a U.S. passport if you can’t provide evidence of U.S. citizenship or naturalization. U.S. citizens must get a passport for overseas travel.
The U.S. State Department handles the issuance and approval of U.S. passports. Work ahead. Although it’s possible to order an expedited passport, you will need to collect various documents, so it’s a good idea not to wait until the last minute. It will cost you less, too.
1-2. Determine whether you need to apply for the passport in person.
The rules are different for certain categories of applicants. For example, the U.S. government requires that people apply for a passport in person if they fall in several categories:
If it’s your first U.S. passport or you are under age 16 or your previous passport was issued when you were under age 16.
If your previous passport was damaged, lost, or stolen or issued more than 15 years ago.
If your name has changed since you obtained your last passport and you can’t legally document the name change.
2. Applying for a U.S. Passport
2-1. Applying for a first time passport.
Fill out the application form for a U.S. passport. This form is called a DS-11. You can print it out from the Internet and complete it offline. You can also obtain the form in many post offices. However, you will need to submit it in person.
Do not sign the application until the acceptance agent says you can do so.
You will need to provide your social security number. If you leave it or other information off the form it could delay your request.
2-2. Find an authorized passport application acceptance facility or passport agency to submit the form.
You must submit the DS-11 application form in person at one of the agencies. There are many of them in each state.
You can search online through the U.S. State Department for the nearest passport acceptance facility in your area. The form allows you to search by zip code. Many of these locations are post offices, clerks of court, public libraries, and other government offices.
If you apply at a passport agency instead, you will need to pay an expedited fee, and you might be required to show proof of international travel within two weeks. You will also need an appointment. People usually only choose this option when they need the passport extremely fast.
2-3. Gather evidence of citizenship.
When you apply for the passport in person, you are going to have to submit evidence of U.S. citizenship with the DS-11 application form. The documentation will be returned to you. Ways to prove U.S. citizenship are:
A previous U.S. passport that is undamaged (5 years for minors and 10 years for adults)
A certified U.S. birth certificate that was issued by city county or state of birth; lists the bearer’s full name, date of birth and place of birth along with the parent(s) full names; has a date filed with the registrar’s office that is within one year of birth; has a registrar’s signature; and has an embossed, impressed or multicolored seal of the registrar. Photocopies and notarized copies won’t work.
A consular report of birth abroad or certification of birth.
A naturalization certificate or a certificate of citizenship.
3. Gathering the Right Documents for the Passport
3-1. Present identification when you apply for the American passport.
When you show up in person to apply for your passport, you will be asked to present identification that includes a photograph of you. Identification that works:
A previously-issued undamaged U.S. passport or a certificate of naturalization or citizenship or a valid driver’s license or a current government ID (city, state or federal) or a current military ID (military and dependents).
You will need to also bring a photocopy of the front and back of each ID document that you will present upon applying. It must be on plain white 8.5 by 11 inch standard paper stock. The photocopy must contain images on only one side of each page submitted. Present two separate pages for front and back for each ID. The paper cannot contain other markings. You can’t decrease the size of the image.
If you can’t submit primary identification, you can submit secondary identification. You must submit as much as you can. You can submit a combination of secondary documents (but not one by itself), such as a social security card, a credit card, an employee ID, and a library card. Present anything you think can confirm your identity.
You could also bring an identifying witness to swear you are who you say you are. They have to be a U.S. citizen who has known you at least 2 years, has a valid ID, is willing to fill out an affidavit, and is present at the time of your application for a passport.
3-2. Provide a passport photo.
You will have to provide one passport photo with your application. It’s possible that the passport acceptance facilities in your area will take your photo for your passport for a charge. It’s not a great idea to take this photo yourself because it must meet very precise requirements. Some drug stores offer passport photo services.
Your photohas to be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo quality paper, and be 2X2 inches (51X51 mm in size). The head must be between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head.
It must represent your current appearance and be taken in the last 6 months. The photo must also be taken in front of a plain white or off-white background. Your full face must be facing the camera. And your facial expression must be neutral or a natural smile, with both eyes open.
3-3. Pay the required fees.
It’s not inexpensive to obtain a passport, and if you don’t pay the required fees, it can slow down the process.
The State Department publishes a current list of application and execution fees online.
You can pay the fees with credit cards, debit or check cards, checks payable to “Department of State,” money orders, or cash with exact change. The checks or money orders must draw on U.S. financial institutions and must be payable in U.S. dollars.
3-4. Figure out the rules for minors if you’re applying for a passport for a child.
Every child has to have a passport to leave the country. Children’s passports are valid for 5 years.
If the child is under 16 and hasn’t had a passport before, you must submit the application in person at a passport agency or authorized site. The child and both parents or guardians must be present. You can fill out a parental consent form if both parents/or guardians can’t be present. In this form, the absent parent or guardian attests to the fact he or she is allowing the child to travel overseas. There are procedures available if the other guardian is deceased or had their rights terminated.
To apply for a minor’s passport, you need to prove U.S. citizenship, evidence of parental relationship, photo identification, parental consent, passport photo, application forms, and passport fees.
Evidence of U.S. citizenship can include a certified U.S. birth certificate that meets the same rules as above for birth certificates. Other evidence of U.S. citizenship includes a previous U.S. passport as long as it’s undamaged, a consular report of birth abroad, a certificate of naturalization or a certificate of citizenship.
3-5. Request expedited service.
You can request that your passport is sent more quickly, but it costs more.
You can use overnight delivery when submitting the application. Expedited service is only available in the U.S.
Write “EXPEDITED” clearly on the outside of the envelope.
3-6. Renew your passport.
If you are simply renewing your passport, you can apply by mail or in person at a passport agency if you are residing in the U.S. If you are residing abroad, other than in Canada, you must apply at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
Adults who are living in Canada can submit form DS-82 to renew their passports. Note that if you're renewing an expired passport, you can still use this form as long as it hasn't been more than 15 years since your passport expired.
Checks or money orders must draw on U.S. financial institutions and be payable in U.S. dollars.
You can only apply for renewal with the mail in form if you were at least 16 when your most recent passport was issued, and if it was not lost, stolen, mutilated, or damaged. You also must use the same name or had your name changed by marriage or court order, which you can submit proper documentation to prove.
Fill out the DS-82 form. Submit your most recent passport book or card. It must have been issued in the past 15 years. It will be returned to you.
Pay the applicable fee in the form of a personal check or money order made out to “U.S. Department of State.” Don’t send cash through the mail. If your name has changed, also submit a certified copy of your marriage certificate or court order.
Submit a passport photo. Do not bend the photo. Staple it to the application. Use 4 staples vertically in the corners as close to the outer edges as possible. Mail to National Passport Processing Center Post Office Box 90155, Philadelphia, PA 19190-0155
4. Applying for Passports from Other Countries
4-1. Apply for a UK passport.
Pick up a passport application form at your local post office for a UK passport. You can also complete the initial application online. Plan to submit your application four or more weeks in advance of overseas travel.
Fill out the passport application with ink and capital letters. If you are filling out the form online, you will be asked a series of questions and you must type in your personal details. The sections you fill in will depend upon your age, the country where you were born and other factors. Read the notes on the application very carefully.
Find an original copy of your UK citizenship, including a birth certificate that includes parents’ names and places of birth. You must also provide original marriage and/or divorce certificates. You will also be asked to submit your parents’ birth certificates and/or marriage certificate if you were born after January 1, 1983.
Take an adequate passport photograph. You will need two copies of a full colour, full-face photo with a white background. The size must be 45 by 35 mm (1.77 by 1.38 inches) which is taken recently, not older than 30 days.
Find a counter signatory. This is a British citizen who has known you for at least two years. They must fill out the counter signatory section and write, “I certify that this is a true likeness of (insert name)” alongside a signature and date. They must not reside at the same address, nor be related to you.
4-2. Submit your UK application form online.
Wait to receive a copy in the post. You must wait to receive it and sign it to submit your final application to HM Passport Office. Bring a form of payment. An adult British passport costs £72.50. It can be submitted by debit card, credit card, check or postal order.
You could also go to the Post Office’s Check and Send Passport Office. Find a service online. For a fee of £9, the post office will check the passport for errors and submit it.
Send the passport application by post with your supporting documents, either using this service or using the pre-addressed envelope that came with your passport application.
Your passport will be sent back to you by Royal Mail if it is accepted. Applications usually take three to four weeks to be processed.
4-3. Apply for a Canadian passport.
Download the Canadian passport application. Go online to obtain the form.
Print it out and fill it in using blue or dark blue ink and capital letters. You can also type the information onto the form and then print it out on your computer. Fill out the 3 application pages within 12 months.
Ask a guarantor to fill out the fourth page. A guarantor is a Canadian citizen over the age of 18 who can vouch for your identity. They must have a valid Canadian passport issued to them.
Find proof of your identity. You will need a photo ID, such as a driver’s license, government ID, United States permanent resident card or a Canadian passport that has been invalid for less than one year. Find citizenship documents. You will need to include an original copy of your birth certificate, citizenship certificate or immigration certificate.
Take passport photos. A commercial photographer must take the photos. They must be 70 mm high (2 ¾ inches) and 50 mm wide (2 inches), and your face must be at least 31 mm high (1 ¼ inches).You must be facing forward on a white background. Your eyes should be open with a neutral expression.

You can submit payment by debit card, credit card, certified check or money order.
Submit your signed application fee, passport photos, documents and fee by mail to “Passport Canada Program, Gatineau QC K1A 0G3, Canada” or in person at Passport Canada Office. Search for an office online.
4-5. Apply for an Australian Passport.
Go online to apply for your passport. Blank forms can’t be downloaded. You can also pick up a form at an Australia Post outlet.
Fill out your application online and then print it out to sign. Make sure to use ink and capital letters if you are filling it out by hand.
Take passport photos. Go to the Australia Post to have passports taken or ask a photo outlet to take them for you. You need two copies. Find a guarantor. You will need an Australian citizen over the age of 18 to sign the back of one photo to vouch for your identity. Read your application carefully so that they know what to write and where to sign.
Find an original document that proves your citizenship. This could be a birth certificate, an immigration certificate, a previously issued valid passport or a naturalization certificate. Find ID documents. You will need photo proof of your ID, such as a driver’s license, government ID or military ID.
Make an appointment for an interview at an Australia Post location to submit your application and prove your identity. Find a location online. The interview should take about 5 minutes. Pay $244 to $366 to submit your application. Payments can be made by credit card, electronic funds transfer or cash at the time of your appointment.

Don't try to take your passport photo yourself. There are too many ways to mess up the specifications.
Work ahead. However, if you are desperate to get a passport fast, don't stress out. The expediting works well.
Warnings
Children under the age of 16 must have permission and signatures from their parents to apply for a passport. Ask your local post office what you must provide for your son or daughter in addition to the materials listed above.

Identification that works:\\nA previously-issued undamaged U.S. passport or a certificate of naturalization or citizenship or a valid driver’s license or a current government ID (city, state or federal) or a current military ID (military and dependents).\\nYou will need to also bring a photocopy of the front and back of each ID document that you will present upon applying. It must be on plain white 8.5 by 11 inch standard paper stock. The photocopy must contain images on only one side of each page submitted. Present two separate pages for front and back for each ID.

In this form, the absent parent or guardian attests to the fact he or she is allowing the child to travel overseas. There are procedures available if the other guardian is deceased or had their rights terminated.\\nTo apply for a minor’s passport, you need to prove U.S. citizenship, evidence of parental relationship, photo identification, parental consent, passport photo, application forms, and passport fees.\\nEvidence of U.S. citizenship can include a certified U.S. birth certificate that meets the same rules as above for birth certificates. Other evidence of U.S. citizenship includes a previous U.S. passport as long as it’s undamaged, a consular report of birth abroad, a certificate of naturalization or a certificate of citizenship.\\n3-5. Request expedited service.\\nYou can request that your passport is sent more quickly, but it costs more.\\nYou can use overnight delivery when submitting the application.

Use 4 staples vertically in the corners as close to the outer edges as possible. Mail to National Passport Processing Center Post Office Box 90155, Philadelphia, PA 19190-0155\\n4.

2,245 | How to Apply for a PhD in the US | 1. Researching Schools and Programs
1-1. Identify your research interests.
Take some time to reflect on your past academic work and to consider your current research interests. What type of PhD would you like to pursue? What would you like to research in your pursuit of a PhD?
Keep in mind that it is not necessary for you to have a dissertation topic already chosen or even to have an extremely specific research focus. At this stage, you should just have a general idea of what you want to study and why. For example, if you are considering a PhD in English, then you should at least have an idea of the literary period that you wish to focus on.
1-2. Search for programs that suit your needs.
Before you start applying to programs, you should take time to research schools thoroughly and find programs that will support your research interests. Look for schools with programs that will allow you to do the type of research that you want to do.
For example, if you are planning to pursue a PhD in Chemistry, then you should find out more about the lab facilities at the university that you are considering.
Try to identify as many potential schools as you can. Graduate school is competitive and you will have a better chance of getting accepted if you submit multiple applications.
1-3. Identify professors whose research interests you.
Some schools require or at least expect you to identify professors with whom you’d like to work. You may already have an idea of some professors who can help you with your research based on the research you completed during your BA or MA program.
Keep in mind that you may be working closely with the professor(s) you identify, so it is important to select professors who you really admire and whose research genuinely interests you.
1-4. Look for funding opportunities.
Graduate school is expensive, especially for international students. Therefore, it is important to seek out as many potential funding opportunities as you can. Most schools offer teaching assistantships, research assistantships, and other types of funding opportunities that will waive your tuition as well as provide you with a small stipend.
Keep in mind that funding opportunities are competitive. Putting forth a strong application may increase your chances of getting funding, but there are no guarantees.
1-5. Find out about your potential programs' job placement rates.
No program can guarantee that you'll leave with the job you want, but you'll want to identify the departments that will make that outcome most likely. If your heart is set on a tenure-track professorship, for example, find out how many of former students were able to land those jobs. Many departments publish this information; others will provide it to you if you ask.
1-6. Consider other factors.
While much less important that the program features and funding available, you should also take some time to consider practical aspects of the schools you are considering. Some additional factors to consider include:
Location. If you plan to return to your home country during breaks, then some schools may make the trip home less time consuming than others. For example, if you will be flying back to India at the end of each school year, then choosing a school closer to one of the US coasts will make traveling easier than flying out of the Midwest. Keep in mind that it is not a good idea to select a school based solely on location. This will severely limit your choices.
Cost of living. Some US college towns can be quite expensive, which can make it hard to get by on your student stipend. Look into the average cost of housing, food, and other expenses in the university areas where you plan to apply.
Extracurricular opportunities. Clubs can other types of groups can make the transition to a US university a bit easier. Many schools have clubs for people from certain countries, who speak certain languages, or who share other interests. Check out the extracurricular opportunities that are available at the universities you are considering.
2. Meeting the Basic Requirements
2-1. Obtain the appropriate degrees.
A bachelor’s degree is required for all PhD program applications and a master’s degree may be required for some PhD programs.
2-2. Take the GRE.
GRE (Graduate Record Examination) scores are often required for admittance into PhD programs in the US, so it is a good idea to take the GRE before you can apply. It takes a couple of months to get your scores back, so make sure that you take the GRE well in advance of beginning the application process.
Taking the GRE three to six months in advance is a good idea. You may even want to take it about year before you plan to apply, just in case you do not get a good score and you need to retake it.
2-3. Take the TOEFL or IELTS.
If you are from a country where English is not the official language, then you will have to take the TOEFL (Test of English as Foreign Language or IELTS (International English Language Testing System). These tests assess your English language skills and help schools determine whether or not you are equipped to attend graduate school at an English language university. Like the GRE, you should take one of these tests well in advance of starting the applications.
Score requirements vary by university, so check with each university to learn the score requirements before you apply. For TOEFL, you need to have at least a 600 on the paper-based test OR above a 95 to 100 on the internet-based test. For IELTS, you need to have above a 7.0 to 7.5.
2-4. Ensure that you can afford the fees.
Fees for international student PhD applications can be quite high, such as around $100 US dollars per application. Since you will likely need to apply to several schools in order to have a chance at a job, make sure that you can afford the fees before you start the process.
For example, if you plan to apply to 20 different programs, then you will need to ensure that you have about $2,000 for the application fees.
Keep in mind that the fees may vary drastically among schools. More prestigious schools may charge higher application fees than less prestigious schools.
2-5. Compare special requirements for different schools.
Each school will have its own application process and some schools also have special requirements. For the best chance of getting an acceptance letter, make sure that you carefully read the application instructions for each school that you plan to apply to. Identify any special requirements that you will have to fulfill before you apply.
For example, some programs require applicants to answer a specific question or set of questions in the statement of purpose.
2-6. Request letters of recommendation.
Having a few glowing letters of recommendation from professors and/or higher education administrators will improve your chances of getting accepted to a PhD program as well. Ask professors who know you well and who can evaluate your ability to do doctoral work.
For example, it would be better to ask a professor in your discipline than someone who taught an elective class that you enjoyed.
Having one letter of recommendation from an administrator or employer can be helpful to show a different perspective of your academic goals. For example, you might ask your department’s chairperson, one of the university’s deans, or a current or former boss. As with the professors you ask, the administrator who recommends you should be someone who will give you a glowing recommendation.
2-7. Order transcripts.
Transcripts are required for your application, so make sure that you know the procedure for requesting them from your university and put in your requests as soon as possible. Since your applications will be traveling via international mail, it is important to allow plenty of time for them to arrive.
Keep in mind that most schools require official transcripts.
Sending transcripts may or may not require you to pay fees, depending on your university’s policies.
2-8. Choose a writing sample (if required).
Some types of programs require applicants to submit a writing sample as part of the application. This sample should be something that reflects your research interests and demonstrates your writing and research abilities. Choose something that you are proud of.
If you have a piece that has been published, then this is an especially great choice for the writing sample, but unpublished pieces are fine as well.
3. Writing Your Statement of Purpose
3-1. Check for special requirements before you start to write.
Some universities have special questions or ways of formatting your statement of purpose (SOP) that you will need to observe. Make sure that you check the SOP requirements for each university to which you are applying before you begin writing.
You may want to write one “basic” SOP and then alter or add to it as needed based on the special requirements of each university.
3-2. Provide a bit of background.
The first part of the statement of purpose is usually an intro paragraph where you talk a bit about yourself and your interests. This paragraph should offer some insight into your academic background rather than hobbies that you have, such as cooking or collecting rocks.
For example, you might say something like, “Since I was a child, I had a passion for the natural world, and this passion led me to my desire to become a biologist.”
3-3. Talk about your preparation for a doctoral program.
The next thing you should mention in your SOP is your preparation for doctoral studies. In this section, you should describe your coursework thus far, special projects you completed as an undergraduate and masters student, as well as any conferences you have presented at or articles you have published.
For example, you might say something like, “As an undergrad, I participated in on-campus research expos and even attended a local conference. Then, during my MA program, I had an article accepted to Biology Quarterly and presented at a national conference.”
You can also talk about specific courses you took, professors who have supervised your work, and research that you conducted during your BA and MA programs.
3-4. Explain the types of contributions you would like to make.
After you have talked about what you have done so far, you will need to explain what you hope to do in the future. What are your goals? What do you hope to contribute to your discipline?
For example, you might say something like, “I hope to develop a new process for growing corn.”
3-5. Mention professors with whom you would like to work and explain why.
It is also important to mention professors with whom you would like to work. Some of these professors may even have a say in whether or not you will be admitted to the program, so it is important to familiarize yourself with these professors’ research.
Try reading each professor’s biography on the university website. You may also consider reading one of these professors’ publications, such as an article or book.
Try saying something like, “I hope to work with Professor Jones because she and I share a similar interest in botany.”
3-6. Use examples to illustrate your points.
For each section in your SOP, it is important to back up what you have to say. For example, do not just say, “I am dedicated to this discipline,” show it by providing examples of your participation in the discipline over the years. Or, if you talk about a professor who you admire, be specific about why. Draw a quote from one of his or her articles or point to a specific accomplishment that you admire.
Make sure that you include examples throughout your entire SOP.
4. Submitting Your Application Packets
4-1. Complete online application components.
Most universities require you to submit some basic details using an online application. These details may include things like your name, address, schools attended, etc. Complete this part of your application before you do anything else.
Some schools also require letters of recommendation to be submitted via an online system. You may need to submit your recommenders email addresses so that they can access this system.
4-2. Prepare your application items to mail.
Your applications will also likely include some paper items, such as your statement of purpose, official transcripts, writing samples, or other required materials. Collect these items and seal them in a large envelope. Make sure that you give yourself plenty of time to send your packets so that they will arrive before the deadline.
Address the packets. Make sure that you double check the addresses for each of your packets to ensure that they will be delivered to the correct location.
Pay for postage. International postage can be quite expensive, so make sure that you reserve some money to pay for this cost. Pay the postage for each of your packets and send them out.
4-3. Wait for responses.
Waiting to hear back from schools may be the most difficult part of the process. It can take weeks or even months for PhD application committees to make their selections. Many schools alert applicants of an acceptance or rejection via email as well as with a paper letter, so keep an eye on both of your inboxes.
Tips
Even if a university is unable to provide you with direct funding or a scholarship, there may be other opportunities for you to earn an income while you are there, such as research assistantships. Look into this before turning down an offer from a university you might otherwise want to attend.
Once you are done with everything, do not forget to thank everybody who helped you, especially the referees who wrote letters of recommendation.
Gaining some sort of research or work experience in the field you plan to apply to will greatly improve your chances of admission.
Warnings
Keep your address consistent throughout - do not abbreviate or introduce variations. This makes it all the more difficult for the graduate office to file your documents.
Use a reliable courier service to send documents to universities - FedEx, DHL, UPS, etc. Do not use a service for which you cannot track your package.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Researching Schools and Programs\\n1-1. Identify your research interests.\\nTake some time to reflect on your past academic work and to consider your current research interests. What type of PhD would you like to pursue? What would you like to research in your pursuit of a PhD?\\nKeep in mind that it is not necessary for you to have a dissertation topic already chosen or even to have an extremely specific research focus. At this stage, you should just have a general idea of what you want to study and why. For example, if you are considering a PhD in English, then you should at least have an idea of the literary period that you wish to focus on.\\n1-2. Search for programs that suit your needs.\\nBefore you start applying to programs, you should take time to research schools thoroughly and find programs that will support your research interests. Look for schools with programs that will allow you to do the type of research that you want to do.\\nFor example, if you are planning to pursue a PhD in Chemistry, then you should find out more about the lab facilities at the university that you are considering.\\nTry to identify as many potential schools as you can. Graduate school is competitive and you will have a better chance of getting accepted if you submit multiple applications.\\n1-3. Identify professors whose research interests you.\\nSome schools require or at least expect you to identify professors with whom you’d like to work. You may already have an idea of some professors who can help you with your research based on the research you completed during your BA or MA program.\\nKeep in mind that you may be working closely with the professor(s) you identify, so it is important to select professors who you really admire and whose research genuinely interests you.\\n1-4. Look for funding opportunities.\\nGraduate school is expensive, especially for international students. Therefore, it is important to seek out as many potential funding opportunities as you can. Most schools offer teaching assistantships, research assistantships, and other types of funding opportunities that will waive your tuition as well as provide you with a small stipend.\\nKeep in mind that funding opportunities are competitive. Putting forth a strong application may increase your chances of getting funding, but there are no guarantees.\\n1-5. Find out about your potential programs' job placement rates.\\nNo program can guarantee that you'll leave with the job you want, but you'll want to identify the departments that will make that outcome most likely. If your heart is set on a tenure-track professorship, for example, find out how many of former students were able to land those jobs. Many departments publish this information; others will provide it to you if you ask.\\n1-6. Consider other factors.\\nWhile much less important that the program features and funding available, you should also take some time to consider practical aspects of the schools you are considering. Some additional factors to consider include:\\nLocation. If you plan to return to your home country during breaks, then some schools may make the trip home less time consuming than others. For example, if you will be flying back to India at the end of each school year, then choosing a school closer to one of the US coasts will make traveling easier than flying out of the Midwest. Keep in mind that it is not a good idea to select a school based solely on location. This will severely limit your choices.\\nCost of living. Some US college towns can be quite expensive, which can make it hard to get by on your student stipend. Look into the average cost of housing, food, and other expenses in the university areas where you plan to apply.\\nExtracurricular opportunities. Clubs can other types of groups can make the transition to a US university a bit easier. Many schools have clubs for people from certain countries, who speak certain languages, or who share other interests. Check out the extracurricular opportunities that are available at the universities you are considering.\\n2. Meeting the Basic Requirements\\n2-1. Obtain the appropriate degrees.\\nA bachelor’s degree is required for all PhD program applications and a master’s degree may be required for some PhD programs.\\n2-2. Take the GRE.\\nGRE (Graduate Record Examination) scores are often required for admittance into PhD programs in the US, so it is a good idea to take the GRE before you can apply. It takes a couple of months to get your scores back, so make sure that you take the GRE well in advance of beginning the application process.\\nTaking the GRE three to six months in advance is a good idea. You may even want to take it about year before you plan to apply, just in case you do not get a good score and you need to retake it.\\n2-3. Take the TOEFL or IELTS.\\nIf you are from a country where English is not the official language, then you will have to take the TOEFL (Test of English as Foreign Language or IELTS (International English Language Testing System). These tests assess your English language skills and help schools determine whether or not you are equipped to attend graduate school at an English language university. Like the GRE, you should take one of these tests well in advance of starting the applications.\\nScore requirements vary by university, so check with each university to learn the score requirements before you apply. For TOEFL, you need to have at least a 600 on the paper-based test OR above a 95 to 100 on the internet-based test. For IELTS, you need to have above a 7.0 to 7.5.\\n2-4. Ensure that you can afford the fees.\\nFees for international student PhD applications can be quite high, such as around $100 US dollars per application. Since you will likely need to apply to several schools in order to have a chance at a job, make sure that you can afford the fees before you start the process.\\nFor example, if you plan to apply to 20 different programs, then you will need to ensure that you have about $2,000 for the application fees.\\nKeep in mind that the fees may vary drastically among schools. More prestigious schools may charge higher application fees than less prestigious schools.\\n2-5. Compare special requirements for different schools.\\nEach school will have its own application process and some schools also have special requirements. For the best chance of getting an acceptance letter, make sure that you carefully read the application instructions for each school that you plan to apply to. Identify any special requirements that you will have to fulfill before you apply.\\nFor example, some programs require applicants to answer a specific question or set of questions in the statement of purpose.\\n2-6. Request letters of recommendation.\\nHaving a few glowing letters of recommendation from professors and/or higher education administrators will improve your chances of getting accepted to a PhD program as well. Ask professors who know you well and who can evaluate your ability to do doctoral work.\\nFor example, it would be better to ask a professor in your discipline than someone who taught an elective class that you enjoyed.\\nHaving one letter of recommendation from an administrator or employer can be helpful to show a different perspective of your academic goals.

If you're staying fewer than 30 days in the Philippines, you may not need a visa if your country is on good diplomatic terms with the Philippines. For instance, you don't need one if you're coming from the United States.
You can check the list at the following website to see if your country is included: https://www.dfa.gov.ph/list-of-countries-for-21-day-visa.
1-2. Use the non-immigrant visa for temporary visits over 30 days.
This visa is for things like travel, work, and education. If you're planning on becoming a resident, you typically don't use this visa.
When deciding on a non-immigrant visa, choose from the following categories:
9(A) Temporary Visitor's Visa, for tourism and pleasure.
9(B) Transit, for traveling through the country.
9(C) Seaman, for workers entering the country on a boat.
9(D) Treaty Traders, for making financial trades in the Philippines.
9(E) Foreign Government Official.
9(F) Student.
9(G) Pre-Arranged Employees.
Make sure to choose the right category so you get the correct visa form.
If you're not sure which form you should use, call the Consulate office to ask.
1-3. Pick the immigrant visa if you are the spouse or child of a citizen.
This visa is specifically for use if you plan to stay in the Philippines. You must be married to a Filipino or be a child of a Filipino (and under 21).
Basically, this visa allows you to stay in the Philippines until you can apply for permanent residency or citizenship. If you are over 21 and a child of a citizen, you will need to use a different visa or apply for citizenship.
2. Using a Non-Immigrant Visa
2-1. Gather the documents you'll need.
You will need a current passport that's good for at least 6 months beyond when you plan to leave the Philippines. You'll also need 2 passport photos, as well as a ticket that shows you are planning to leave the country when you say you are.
You can have passport photos taken at most pharmacies and big-box stores.
2-2. Provide proof of your financial status.
You will need to show a picture of your last bank statement, as well as a letter from your employer stating how much you make and your current position. This proves that you have the cash to stay in the country for the time period you are requesting.
2-3. Fill in the appropriate form.
Keep in mind that there will be a form for each of these sub-categories, so make sure you get the correct one. On the form, you'll fill in basic biographical information, such as your name and address.
You'll also need to include your passport information, contact info for your employer, and the dates you intend to be in the Philippines. You also must note if you've ever been convicted of a crime.
Type this form on the computer and print it out or write on it in legible print.
2-4. Pay the visa fee.
If you're in a country that has an agreement with the Philippines, your fees will be cheaper. If you're in a country that doesn't have an agreement, your fees will be slightly more expensive.
As of 2018, the fees for the temporary visitor's visa were $30.00 USD for a single-entry 3-month visa, $60.00 USD for a multiple-entry 6-month visa, and $90.00 USD for a multiple-entry, year-long visa, if your country has a visa agreement with the Philippines. If your country doesn't have an agreement, those visas are $40.00 USD, $80.00 USD, and $120.00 USD, respectively.
For a seaman, the cost is $20.00 USD. The visa is free for government officials.
Usually, you will need to pay by cash or money order. Make the money order out to Embassy of the Philippines in most countries or Philippine Consulate General in the United States.
2-5. Walk or mail in the application to the Consulate.
Some countries may require you to walk your application in to the local Consulate office. Otherwise, you can mail it into the Consulate.
Include a self-addressed stamped envelope to have your passport returned. In the U.S., you must pay for priority or express shipping.
3. Gaining an Immigrant Visa
3-1. Gather your basic documents.
You will need a passport that's good for at least the next year. You will also need 4 passport photos, which you can get taken at most pharmacies and big-box stores.
You will also need a certified document from the police saying you don't have a record (an original and a copy), as well as proof of your financial status, such as a pension fund, investments, bank certification, or a notarized Affidavit of Support signed by a relative in the Philippines (1 original and one copy).
3-2. Provide the original and copies of documents to prove your relationship.
You will need to send the original marriage certificate and a copy, as well as your spouse's passport showing their citizenship and a copy.
In some cases, you may need to send in you and your spouse's birth certificates, along with copies. Check with your local Consulate.
3-3. Fill in the visa application for immigrants.
You will need to include basic biographical information like your address and passport information. You'll also need to add information on immediate relatives who are currently residing in the Philippines.
This document will also ask you if you've been convicted of a crime, and it will require information about your medical history.
3-4. Include the Medical Examination of Visa Applicant.
This report will need to be filled out by your doctor. The doctor will need to fill in your medical history, as well as provide laboratory reports and a chest X-ray. Your doctor also must choose 1 of 3 classes for you.
Class A indicates you have a dangerous infectious disease or severe mental illness. Class B indicates you have a disability or condition that would make you dependent on the state. Class C is for minor conditions.
You will need to have a copy of your laboratory reports and a picture of your chest X-ray as a negative or on a disk when you're traveling to the Philippines.
3-5. Show up for your interview in person.
This visa application requires that you have an in-person interview at the Consulate. You will need to call and set up an appointment for your interview. Have all your required documents with you when you go.
3-6. Pay the fee for the visa application.
As of 2018, this visa cost $150.00 USD. You must pay by cash or money order. The Consulate doesn't accept credit cards or personal checks.
Make the money order out to the Philippine Consulate General if in the United States or the Embassy of the Philippines if elsewhere.

2,247 | How to Apply for a Schengen Visa | 1. Planning Your Trip
1-1. Check the visa requirements before booking your trip.
Though you book your trip before you apply for a visa, you should check with that country's consulate before booking. You should make sure you will be able to satisfy all the requirements prior to booking.
1-2. Plan and book your trip before you apply for a visa.
You will need to submit information about your trip when you apply. Therefore, go ahead and plan your trip, booking flights and hotels.
1-3. Keep documentation.
As you plan your trip, keep documentation of your trip. You will need to submit that documentation as proof of where and why you're traveling to a country in the Schengen area.
1-4. Check the length of your trip.
With this visa, you are allowed to be in the Schengen area for up to 3 months, spread out over a 6 month period. Make sure your trip does not exceed this time period.
1-5. Wait to apply.
In most countries, you cannot apply earlier than 3 months in advance of your trip. Even if you plan far ahead, you have to wait for the visa application. It's a good idea to buy travel insurance, just in case your visa does not get approved, and you must cancel your trip.
2. Taking Initial Steps
2-1. Understand how a Schengen Visa works.
You apply for a travel visa as you normally would. However, you do not have to apply for visas for each country, as long as you stay in the Schengen area.
2-2. Find out if you need a Schengen Visa.
You only need a Schengen Visa if you are not one of the approved countries. You can use an inquiry tool, such as the one The Netherlands has on their visa website, to see if you need one.
For instance, United States citizens do not need a visa to enter this area, as long as they have a blue passport. They can stay up to 3 months. Nonetheless, you should still check the passport requirements for the country you are visiting. For instance, your passport may need to be valid for 6 months out from your date of entry.
However, a whole list of countries do not have this benefit, such as Russia, Bahrain, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Cambodia, Turkey, Yemen, and Zimbabwe.
2-3. Choose the country where you will apply for your visa.
The first method you should use is to choose the country where you will spend the most time. So if you're planning to spend 10 days in Germany and 5 days in France, you'd apply with Germany. If you are staying an equal amount of time in every country, choose the one you're going to first.
2-4. Check whether your whole trip is in the Schengen area.
Though you can leave and come back within the 6 month period, you should check to see if your whole trip falls within the boundaries of the Schengen area. If it does not, you may need to apply for a visa in the other countries you're visiting.
3. Applying for the Visa
3-1. Download the application.
The Schengen Visa application form is the same in every country. However, you should be able to download it from the government website of the country you are applying for the visa in. Therefore, if you plan to apply in France, you can download it from France's government website.
3-2. Fill in the application.
You will need basic biographical information, such as your name, your date of birth, your country of birth, and your current nationality. You will also need passport information, such as the type of passport, the passport number, and the date it was issued.
Next, you will provide information about your trip, such as how long you will be in each country, the type of visa you're applying for, and the reason you are going.
You also must give information about where you're staying, as well as information about how you're supporting yourself while there. Finally, you must identify your spouse and children, as well as identify any family members that you are visiting and are dependent on.
3-3. Gather your documents.
You will need documents such as your passport, proof of residency, and a passport photo. You'll also need documents about your trip, such as a copy of your flight schedule and proof that your health insurance will cover you throughout the Schengen area, as well as documents that show why you're visiting. You also need to verify your employment and provide pay stubs from the last 3 months.
For a business trip, you'll need to get the company that's hosting you to provide a letter, as well as your own company. Both should state why you're visiting on business, and at least one should say who's paying for your trip and provide the place you're staying.
For a fun trip, you need information such as your hotel reservations, which includes the proper contact information for that hotel. You should also provide info if you're going on a tour.
If you're visiting people, you may need a special form to verify that. For instance, in The Netherlands, the form is called the Proof of Private Accommodation and/or Sponsorship, which the host needs to have certified by the Dutch City Hall. The country will also need a copy of that person's passport or residence permit.
3-4. Submit the application.
Most countries require that you apply at their embassy or consulate in person in your host country. Most of the time, you will need to make an appointment before visiting. You can use either the foreign country's government website or your own country's government website to find the consulate nearest you.
3-5. Give your fingerprints.
You will be fingerprinted at the consulate's office if you haven't before for a Schengen Visa. If you have before, the consulate should be able to look it up.
3-6. Pay the fee.
The fee will vary both by the country you're from and the country you're applying to. The foreign country's website should have the current fees, or you can call the consulate before you arrive to find out the fee.
Tips
Allow enough time for getting your visa. It's best to apply as soon as you're able within the 3-month window you have.
Ensure you have at least one blank page in your passport for the visa. (Some embassies require two to four blank pages.)

2,248 | How to Apply for a U.S. Visa from Canada | 1. Determining Which Visa You Need
1-1. Apply for a non-immigrant visa if you are traveling into the U.S.
If you’re not planning to move to the U.S., but work across the American border, you’ll need to apply for a non-immigrant visa. Other conditions under which you’d need to apply for a non-immigrant visa include:
Apply for an A visa if you’re a Canadian government official entering the U.S. for a work assignment.
Apply for a G visa if you’re an employee of an international organization entering the U.S. for a work assignment.
Apply for a non-immigrant visa if you’re a NATO employee being assigned to work in the U.S.
1-2. Select an E visa if you’re a treaty trader or investor.
If you’re a business investor or making a trade with an American business in the field of either commerce or navigation, you’ll need to hold an E visa. This visa allows you to represent Canada or a Canadian business during a trip to the U.S.
Treaty traders must apply for an E-1 visa, while treaty investors must apply for an E-2 visa.
1-3. Choose a K-1 visa if you’re a fiancé of an American citizen.
Specifically, these visas are issued if a Canadian citizen is traveling to the U.S. to marry an American citizen. After the wedding, holders of a K-1 visa will also be able to apply for permanent legal U.S. citizenship.
As a part of the fiancé visa application process, you’ll need to fill out form I-129F. Access more information and the form itself online at: https://www.uscis.gov/i-129f.
All fiancé visa interviews must be held in Montreal. So, you’ll need to travel to Montreal for the interview portion of your interview application.
1-4. Opt for a V-1 visa if you’re married to a permanent American resident.
If you’re married to an American citizen—or permanent legal resident—and trying to legally immigrate to the U.S., apply for the V-1 visa. This visa is designed to permit families to remain together, if 1 member of the family is already a U.S. resident and the rest of the family members are applying for legal residency.
When applying for a V-1 visa, you’ll also need to fill out Forms I-539 and I-693. Find links to the forms, and learn more, at: https://www.uscis.gov/family/family-green-card-holders-permanent-residents/v-visa/v-nonimmigrant-visas.
Your children will need to have an application for a V-2 visa filled out in their name(s) as well.
2. Completing the Online Application
2-1. Begin the application process online.
You can apply for any type of nonimmigrant visa online. Navigate to: https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ca/niv. Click on the “Apply” link. You’ll be asked to answer a number of questions regarding your citizenship status and reason for entering the U.S.
From this site, you can also continue an existing application that you’ve previously worked on and saved.
2-2. Fill out the Online Visa Application form DS-160.
This is the standard form which must be filled out by all Canadian visa seekers. The DS-160 will require you to provide various personal information, including your name, date of birth, and reason for applying for a particular visa. When completing the form, you’ll need to refer to your passport and your resume or CV. You’ll also need to know the dates of your 5 most recent trips to the U.S. (if applicable).
You can access the DS-160 application form online at: https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/.
To see a sample DS-160 form before beginning your online application, visit: https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/PDF-other/DS-160_Example.pdf.
As part of the DS-160 online filing process, you’ll also select the consulate at which you’d like to have your interview.
2-3. Upload a photograph of yourself with the application.
A photograph is a required part of your visa application. The photo must be in color, and you cannot be wearing eyeglasses in the photo. Make sure that your face is not obscured and your expression is neutral. The background must be white or off-white, and the photo should have been taken within the last 6 months.
If you don’t have a current digital photo, you can take one using a smartphone, then upload it to the computer on which you’re filling out your visa application. Or, visit a professional photography agency.
2-4. Make the required online payment when submitting the visa application.
Before you’re permitted to submit your visa application—including the DS-160 form—you’ll be asked to pay the standard application processing fee. You can pay online using an American Express, Visa, or MasterCard credit card.
The fee is for $160 USD.
2-5. Appear for an in-person interview at a U.S.
To be granted a visa, you’ll need to be interviewed by a consular official at one of the Consulates. You’re free to schedule the appointment at whichever of the Consulate locations is closest to you. Once you’ve completed the DS-160 form, telephone one of the Consulates to set up an interview. When you arrive at the interview, bring the confirmation page that shows you have submitted the DS-160 form. You’ll have received this form as soon as you submit the completed DS-160.
You can find American Consulate telephone numbers online at: https://www.usembassy.gov/. Type “Canada” into the search bar, and scroll down to find the Consulate location you’re closest to.

2,249 | How to Apply for a US Passport After Naturalization | 1. Preparing to Apply
1-1. Understand the types of passports.
There are two types of passports: a passport book and a passport card. The book is valid for all international travel. The passport card is valid only for returning to the United States by land or sea from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, or the Caribbean.
Unless you only travel regularly to and from the countries listed on the passport card, you should probably get a passport book.
1-2. Get the application.
You will receive an application at your naturalization ceremony. It should be in the U.S. Citizenship Welcome Packet.
You may also use the passport wizard at http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/passports/apply.html. You will be asked a series of questions and the computer program will tell you how much it will cost and what forms to fill out.
You can also download the form and accompanying instructions at https://eforms.state.gov/Forms/ds11.PDF.
1-3. Photocopy your Certificate of Naturalization.
As part of your application, you will need to submit your original Certificate of Naturalization (as well as a photocopy of the front and back) to the U.S. State Department. The Certificate will serve as your Proof of U.S. Citizenship and Proof of Identity. As a result, you will be without your proof of citizenship. Be sure to make an additional photocopy and retain it.
Your original Certificate of Naturalization will be returned to you 1-2 weeks after you receive your passport.
1-4. Have photographs taken.
You will need recent color photographs for the passport (just as you did for your Certificate of Naturalization). They must be recent (at least within the past six months) and 2” x 2” in size. The bottom of your chin to the top of your hair should measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches.
The photograph must afford a full frontal view of your face and be printed on quality paper with a white or off-white background. Do not wear hats, dark glasses, or head coverings unless you submit a signed statement that the attire is worn for religious reasons (or a doctor submits that the item is worn for medical purposes).
Do not retouch the photograph in any way.
2. Applying for the Passport
2-1. Find a passport acceptance facility.
As a first-time applicant for a passport, you need to apply in person at a passport acceptance facility. Many post offices, public libraries, clerk of court offices, and other state or local government offices have been designated as acceptance facilities. You can use the State Department’s locator at https://iafdb.travel.state.gov/ to find a facility nearest to you.
The search results will also list the hours in which the facility accepts passport applications.
You can refine your search to find facilities that take photos on site.
2-2. Complete the application.
Use black ink and print neatly. You can fill in the application before going to an acceptance facility. Nevertheless, do not sign the application until you appear at the facility and are told to sign by an authorized agent.
If you have questions, you should call 1-877-487-2778 or email [email protected]. Someone will be available to assist you Monday-Friday 8:00 am to 10:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.
Once you have completed the application, you should make a copy for your records.
2-3. Decide if you need expedited processing.
Your passport will generally be processed in 4-6 weeks. However, if you need it sooner, then you can pay $60 for expedited processing.
You will receive your expedited passport in 2-3 weeks typically. If you choose expedited processing at selected government agencies, then you can get the passport in five business days.
2-4. Pay fees.
The total fee will depend on passport type. You can get a passport book or a passport card (or both together). The passport book costs $110, whereas the passport card costs $30. Getting both together costs $140.
There is a separate “execution fee” of $25 charged by the acceptance facility you use. You must pay this fee separately. If you pay by check, you will have to write two checks.
You may pay using a check, money order, major credit card (Visa, Master Card, American Express, or Discover), bank draft or cashier’s check. You can make your check or money order payable to “U.S. Department of State.”
Most, but not all, facilities accept credit cards. Call ahead to find out.
2-5. Receive the passport.
Once you receive the passport, you must sign it. You should sign in ink using a felt-tip pen.
You should fill out the emergency information page in pencil. By using pencil, you can change the information at a later date.
Tips
If for some reason your Certificate of Naturalization is not returned to you, then you should immediately contact the National Passport Information Center at 1-877-487-2778 to complain.

2,250 | How to Apply for a Work Permit in Canada | 1. Checking Your Eligibility to Work in Canada
1-1. Secure a job with a Canadian company if you don't qualify for an open permit.
In most cases, you will need a job offer from a Canadian company before you can apply for a work permit. Your employer will sponsor your work visa and provide you with documentation and credentials to complete your application.
When your employer extends you an offer of temporary employment, they must also include a copy of their positive Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
In some cases, such as if employment is executed under the terms of an international agreement like NAFTA, a LMIA may not be necessary. Ask your employer if you need a copy of their LMIA to complete your work permit application.
1-2. Check the qualifications for an open work permit if you don’t have a job.
Open work permits are difficult to get. If you qualify, though, this permit affords you the right to work in Canada for almost any company. To qualify for an open work permit, you must meet a basic qualification, as well as some additional criteria. Basic qualifiers include:
Permanent resident status in Canada
Dependent family member status of a permanent Canadian resident
The spouse or common-law partner of an international student or skilled worker
An international student no longer able to meet the cost of your studies
A refugee, protected person, or their family member
A temporary resident permit holder
1-3. Review the general eligibility requirements to make sure you qualify.
All foreign employees seeking any type of Canadian work permit must meet some basic requirements. Some requirements, such as health and security, may include checks like a physical exam and a background screening during the permit application process. Requirements include:
Being in good physical and mental health
Having no record of criminal activity
Having enough money to provide for yourself and your family while in Canada
Not being dangerous to Canadian security
Not planning to work for an employer in the field of sexual services, including striptease
Not planning to work for a company that is ineligible to accept foreign workers
2. Starting Your Application Online
2-1. Scan your documents to create digital copies for the online portal.
Before you start the application process, make sure you have high-quality scans of all the documents you need to get a Canadian work permit. These documents will vary slightly depending on the country from which you enter, but in general, you will need:
A valid passport
Two passport-sized photos
Evidence that you meet employment requirements
Your job offer letter
A Certificat D’Acceptation du Quebec, if your job is in Quebec
2-2. Register your account for an online application.
If you have a Canadian bank, you may be able to use your banking information to log in for your application through the Sign-In Partners program. Otherwise, you will need to register for a GCKey.
The registration process to create your GCKey is short. You just need to provide a username and password and register some basic information about yourself.
Banking Sign-In Partners include BMO Financial Group, Alberta Treasury, Affinity Credit Union, CIBC, Desjardins Group, National Bank of Canada, RBC, Scotiabank, Tangerine, and TD Bank Group.
2-3. Follow the application step-by-step.
Once you have a login, log into the online application system at http://www.canada.ca. The application takes you through the process step-by-step. You will also be able to upload scans of your documents through your online application.
For the application process, you will need your personal contact information, your passport information, information about your job provided by your employer, and information for anyone helping you qualify for an open work permit, if applicable.
If you are applying for an open work permit, select “Open Work Permit” for question 1 of the IMM 1295 form, and leave questions 2-6 blank.
2-4. Mail in your application if you cannot apply online.
Online applications are preferred, but paper applications are still accepted if you cannot fill out the forms online. Complete and mail in your documents, along with the Application to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay in Canada (From IMM 5710) and the Document Checklist (Form IMM 5556) to:
Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada - Work PermitCPC-Vegreville6212 - 55th Avenue, Unit 555Vegreville, ABT9C 1X6
3. Completing Your Application
3-1. Pay your application fees online.
After you submit an online application, you must pay 3 fees: the application fee, the processing fee, and the biometrics fee. The processing fee is paid when you submit your application.The application and biometrics may be paid through a separate online form, located at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/index.asp.
Fees must be paid online using a credit or debit card.
The fee for a work permit is $155 CAD. For an open work permit, you must pay an additional $100 CAD on top of the work permit fee. The biometrics fee is an additional $85 CAD.
3-2. Complete your biometrics at a visa application center.
Biometrics including fingerprints and a digital photo for identification are currently required for visa applicants from Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and will soon be required for all visa applicants. To submit your biometrics, make an appointment with an approved Visa Application Center (VAC).
An approved list of VACs can be found at http://www.canada.ca.
United States applicants can visit Application Support Centers across the country. You need to make an advanced appointment with the Centers, just like with the VACs.
3-3. Get a medical exam if you’re teaching or working in medicine or agriculture.
Jobs that require you to work in close contact with other people, including teaching, patient and elder care, and most medical professions, require a physical exam. In addition, agricultural workers from certain countries are also required to get an exam.
The list of countries for agricultural examinations can be found online at http://www.canada.ca.
Your own doctor will not be able to perform the exam. Instead, you will need to find a panel physician. You can find your nearest panel physician online by searching under the Medical exams link on the Immigration and Citizenship page of https"//www.cic.gc.ca. Depending on where you are, your nearest physician may be in another country.
Tips
Be sure to complete all your forms and documents and completely and honestly as possible. Missing or incorrect information on your documents can delay your permit or cause it to be rejected.
Securing a work permit in Canada can be incredibly difficult unless you're joining a spouse or parent.

2,251 | How to Apply for an Amazon Credit Card | 1. Choosing a Card
1-1. Pick a Prime Visa Signature Card if you have a Prime membership.
The Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature Card is the most popular option, and it gives you 5% of your money back from Amazon and Whole Foods, 2% of your money back from restaurants, drug stores, and gas stations, and 1% of your money back on all other purchases. You won’t be charged extra for using the card out of the country, and it provides fraud and theft protection; however, you could be charged anywhere from 14% to 24% interest depending on your credit score.
The Visa Signature Card is provided through Chase Bank, so you can look on their website for any other information you need.
You can only apply for a Prime Visa card if you have an Amazon Prime membership.
1-2. Go for the Amazon.com Store Card for an easier approval.
The Store Card gives you 5% of your money back on all of your Amazon purchases as long as you have an Amazon Prime membership. When you sign up for the card, a $60 credit will automatically be loaded onto your Amazon account; however, the interest rate of this card is 25.99% no matter what your credit score is.
This card is provided by Synchrony Bank.
You can use this card for other purchases, but you won’t get money back unless you use it on Amazon items.
This card is easier to get approved for since you get less money back overall.
1-3. Apply for a Visa Signature Card for a lower interest rate.
The Amazon Rewards Visa Signature Card is very similar to the Prime Visa Card, but it only gives you 3% of your money back on purchases from Amazon. The 2% back from drug stores, restaurants, and gas stations remains the same, as well as the 1% money back from other purchases and fraud protection. The interest rate depends on your credit score, but it ranges from 14% to 24%.
This card is also provided through Chase Bank.
You don't need to have a Prime membership to apply for this card.
1-4. Pick a Business Card if you have an Amazon business.
The Amazon Business Prime American Express Card offers 5% of your money back on Amazon purchases, 2% of your money back from gas stations, restaurants, and drug stores, and 1% of your money back on other select purchases. You can only apply for this card if you have a registered business, though, and they will ask for your business name on the application.
This card is provided through American Express.
The interest rates of this credit card depend on your credit score at the time of your application.
2. Applying for an Amazon Credit Card
2-1. Log into your Amazon account.
Before you apply, you’ll need to either create an Amazon account or log in to your existing one. Make sure you sign in to the account you’d like to have linked with the credit card that you apply for.
If you’re using the Amazon app, you’ll probably already be signed in.
2-2. Find the card that you'd like to apply for.
Head to the Credit Card Marketplace to look through each card offer, or go straight to the page of the card you'd like to apply for. You can double check the terms and conditions as well as read customer reviews to make your final decision.

2-3. Click “Apply now” on the page of the card you chose.
Once you decide on a card, click on the credit card and then hit the button that says “Apply now.” This will redirect you to the bank’s page, and Amazon may ask you to log in again to double check that it’s really you.
Although the credit card is through Amazon, you have to apply on the bank’s website since it’s technically their credit card.
2-4. Fill out the application fully with your information.
Make sure all of the information you put on the application is accurate to avoid delaying your acceptance. Have your driver’s license, social security card, and address nearby to fill it out so you don’t have to get up and search for them later on.
The first section of the application process will ask for information about you—full name, physical address, and email address. The physical address must be a US address. Click “Continue” or scroll down for the next page.
The next section or page will ask for your phone number, social security number, date of birth, and mother's maiden name. Fill it in accordingly, then scroll down or click “Continue.”
In the third section or page, you will be asked for information on your finances (e.g., annual net income). Provide all the information asked, and scroll down or click “Continue.”
The last section or page will display the terms and conditions as well as the fees and prices of the card, which you should read through carefully before you move on.
2-5. Submit the application.
Make sure you filled out all of the necessary information in your application, and that you didn’t leave any required fields blank. Click the “I agree” option at the very bottom of the page before clicking “Submit.”
Submitting an inaccurate application can lengthen the approval process for your credit card, so it’s very important to double check all of your information before submitting it.
2-6. Wait to get your card or notification.
Now all you have to do is wait for the approval (or rejection) on your application. If your application is approved, you will get a response within a few seconds, and you can begin using your card number on Amazon immediately.
The actual card will be mailed to the address you entered, and you should receive it within 7 to 10 business days.
If you aren’t approved, you will receive a notification from the bank within 2 to 4 weeks.
You may not be approved if your credit score is lower than 640 or you have no credit history at all.
Tips
To qualify for an Amazon credit card, you will most likely need a credit score of 640 or above.[11]

2,252 | How to Apply for an ISO Certification | 1. Developing a Quality Management System
1-1. Appoint a project supervisor.
Choose someone within your company to oversee the task of creating a Quality Management System. This is essentially a collection of documents detailing the way your company carries out its operations. Since putting together such a complex analysis will require a thorough understanding of the business’s policies and internal structure, only the most experienced employees should be considered for the job.
A manager, department head, or director of operations will be among the employees most qualified to create a focused Quality Management System.
If you’re a controlling officer for your company, you may be more comfortable taking on the responsibility yourself.
1-2. Document your company’s unique practices.
During this phase, you’ll be outlining every characteristic of your business or product in writing. Your Quality Management System analysis might include details like your company’s mission statement, information on specific policies and procedures, and a list of state and federal standards you operate in accordance with.
Think of your Quality Management System as a comprehensive overview of what your company hopes to achieve with a particular product, service, or business model, and the exact steps they follow to achieve it.
If you’re seeking certification for a product, the purpose of your analysis will be to describe the product’s design and materials, your company’s system of production, and your company’s internal quality-assessment process.
This is the most demanding step in securing ISO certification, so take your time to make sure your documentation is meticulous.
1-3. Perform an internal audit.
Assign a qualified employee to compare the information laid out in your Quality Management System analysis against the company’s day-to-day operations. In particular, they should be looking to see that your procedures satisfy both industry regulations and company standards. If you hope to get ISO certification, it’s important that every aspect of production or service is being performed the way it’s described.
Instruct your internal auditor to keep an eye out for inconsistencies between your Quality Management System documentation and the way things are actually being done.
Name someone other than the project supervisor to the role of auditor. This will help ensure impartiality and decrease the chances of potential gaps going unnoticed.
1-4. Make any necessary improvements in your practices.
If your internal audit turns up some feature that isn’t up to snuff, your top priority will be to correct it before submitting to a formal audit. Using your auditor’s notes as a guide, identify areas where your operations don’t accomplish the goals established by your quality system. Find ways to resolve potential issues in the weeks and months moving forward.
Meeting your targeted performance standards may require you to implement new policies, explore safer or more efficient procedures, or retrain employees.
2. Choosing a Certifying Body
2-1. Find a qualified registrar to review your operations.
Seek out a licensed registrar to bring in for an external audit. Search for organizations in your region representing the specific sector your business falls under. Some registrars only deal with software engineering, for instance, while others may be qualified to guarantee quality standards for medical devices, natural gas production, and environmental management.
The ISO organization only devises industry standards and provides accreditation to independent certifying bodies—it doesn’t actually issue certifications.
The ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB) has compiled a directory of accredited certifying bodies for businesses applying for an external audit.
Selecting the right registrar for your business can take a while. Begin your search while you’re still developing your Quality Management System documentation to give yourself plenty of time.
2-2. Select a registrar that holds the necessary credentials.
Your certification will look best coming from an organization that has also proven itself to meet certain requirements. Only consider certification bodies that use the Committee on Conformity Assessment (CASCO) standard. Independent accreditation is also a sign that the body you’re dealing with has been thoroughly researched and approved.
Accreditation is a major plus, but it’s not a necessity. A registrar may still be highly qualified even if they aren’t on a list of accredited certifiers.
2-3. Draft up an ISO application contract.
Once you’ve secured the services of a registrar, sit down with them to discuss the provisions of the audit process. They’ll go over the various legal rights and obligations of both parties and inform you about the organization’s liability confidentiality policies. If you’re satisfied with the terms of the agreement, sign the contract to confirm your audit date.
Due to the need for strict international standards across the board, it may not be possible to negotiate the terms of your application contract.
3. Applying for Certification
3-1. Submit your Quality Management System documentation for pre-assessment.
Pre-assessment is not a required step in the certification process. However, a preliminary review will give the certification body a chance to pinpoint any obvious errors or omissions in your documentation. Clearing up these issues before the formal audit will help you focus your quality system and improve your chances of successfully meeting ISO certification standards.
If you opt to go through with a pre-assessment, you’ll need to provide your chosen certification body with a complete, up-to-date copy of your Quality Management System paperwork.
Be aware that the pre-assessment period may add 2-4 weeks to the certification process.
3-2. Pass the external audit.
On the opening date of your inspection, your registrar will sit down with key company personnel to introduce themselves and briefly discuss the proceedings. They’ll then turn their attention to inspecting your company’s operations and making sure they adhere to the standards detailed in your Quality Management System. Be prepared to offer your assistance any way you can.
You or your employees may be separately interviewed or called upon to explain details of policies and procedures that are central to your operations.
The actual audit is an ongoing process that may take anywhere from days to weeks. The exact length will depend on the complexity of your Quality Management System and the size and organizational structure of your company.
3-3. Review your full audit report.
Following the audit, the certifying body will send out a detailed audit report by mail. The report will summarize the registrar’s findings throughout the audit and bring to your attention any areas where your company’s practices don’t match the standards listed in your Quality Management System (referred to as “non conformities.”) The registrar may cite two different types of issues—Minor Non-conformities and Major Nonconformities.
Make sure your project supervisor, internal auditor, and all other key employees are present when you go over the findings of your audit report.
3-4. Submit a plan of corrective action for resolving Minor Nonconformities.
This is a brief document explaining the nature of the issue and articulating the measures needed to correct it. It's primary purpose is to demonstrate to the certifying body that you understand how an oversight fails to live up to ISO standards. Most Minor Nonconformities can be cleared up without the need for additional inspections, and won’t hold up your certification.
Minor Nonconformities refer to small procedural errors or instances where policy and practice don’t quite line up, but don’t ultimately impact that quality of your product or service.
3-5. Tighten up your operations to deal with Major Nonconformities.
These citations point to glaring discrepancies in the way your business model is conceived and executed. Coming back from a Major Nonconformity most often involves a series of follow-up inspections, along with the costs associated with fixing the problem from within. Your company or product will not be approved for certification until all Major Nonconformity citations have been reexamined and cleared by the registrar.
Major Nonconformities could also leave you subject to fines or similar penalties if they are discovered to be in violation of the law.
If your audit report comes back with more than one Major Nonconformity highlighted, you may need to reconsider the content of your Quality Management System to determine whether it's feasible in its current form.
3-6. Await your ISO certification.
If the registrar is satisfied with their findings, they’ll report back to the certifying body with a recommendation that your company be awarded certification. You’ll then be sent your official certificate. The document will display your level of certification and the exact set of standards you were found to be in compliance with, along with an official stamp from the certifying body.
It may take 2-3 weeks for your certificate to arrive after you’ve gotten word of approval from the certifying body.
Your business will also be added to a register of companies with ISO certification, which can be viewed by consumers as well as other businesses.
Tips
You don’t have to get certified with ISO in order for your company or product to be a success—it’s simply a useful way for consumers to recognize businesses whose practices are consistent with international standards drawn up for their own benefit.
When labeling a product, service, or procedure after receiving your ISO certification, be sure to include the numerical designation of the specific standard used. Instead of simply writing, “ISO Certified,” for example, you would write “ISO 9001 Certified.”
Make sure you read up on the exact duration and conditions of your certification to see what you need to do to maintain it down the line.

2,253 | Applying for an International License (International Driving Permit) in the U.S. from AAA | 1. What’s an IDP?
It’s an international driving permit, not a driving license.
Technically speaking, there’s no such thing as an “international driving license” that authorizes you to drive abroad. Instead, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is a document that translates your existing driving license into 10 languages. That means the IDP is meaningless on its own; you must carry your regular driving license with you at all times.
The permit is recognized in more than 150 countries. This means that, if you have both a valid driving license and a valid IDP, you (under most circumstances) can legally drive in any of those countries.
Before traveling to a specific country, contact their embassy or consulate to confirm whether they accept the IDP.
2. Getting an IDP
2-1. Confirm that you’re eligible for an IDP.
You can only get an IDP if you currently hold a valid driving license. An IDP will not be issued if your license is suspended or revoked. In addition, there are a few other requirements:
Your U.S. state/territory/etc. driving license must be valid for at least 6 months after your IDP is issued. If your license will expire during the 6 month period, renew it before applying for the IDP.
You must be 18 years old to get an IDP, regardless of the minimum age to get a driving license where you live.
2-2. Complete the AAA application for an IDP.
Follow this link to the AAA application form, or search for “IDP” at https://www.ace.aaa.com/. Type in all the required information and print out the application, or print out the application and fill it out legibly in pen. Be sure to sign the application after printing it. Also gather the following items to accompany your application:
, 2 in × 2 in (5.1 cm × 5.1 cm) in size, both signed on the back. You can get passport photos taken at any AAA office for a small fee.
(if applying in person), or a legible photocopy of both the front and back of your license (if applying by mail).
of $20 USD, by check or money order (if applying by mail). You can also pay by cash or credit if you apply in person.
2-3. Mail your application or take it to AAA in person.
Visit https://www.aaa.com/office/ to find the address of your closest AAA office, then either send your completed application there or bring it yourself. There is no waiting period, so if you go in person everything can be handled in a single visit. However, applications sent through the mail are normally processed in 10 to 15 business days.
You can choose an effective date (starting date) for your IDP up to 6 months ahead, so plan ahead and get this important task done well before your travel date.
If you’re already outside the U.S., mail your application to:
AAA/IDP
Attn: Mailstop #28
1000 AAA Drive
Heathrow, FL 32746
3. Other FAQs
3-1. Who offers valid IDPs in the U.S.?
The American Automobile Association (AAA) is the only organization authorized to issue IDPs in the U.S. (The American Automobile Touring Alliance (AATA) used to issue IDPs along with AAA, but no longer does so.) Do not pay any other organization for an IDP. Such offers are often scams. Even if you do receive something that appears to be a permit, it may not be a legal document.
The United Nations does not issue IDPs. If you obtained a document purported to be an IDP issued by the U.N., you do not have a valid international driving permit.
A real, valid IDP is a multi-page booklet 4 in × 6 in (10 cm × 15 cm) in size, with a gray cover. It includes a page displaying the holder's name, date and place of birth, and home address. This information is repeated in 9 other languages on separate pages.
If you have any questions regarding the validity of an IDP, take it to your nearest AAA office.
3-2. How do I use an IDP while traveling abroad?
Remember that the IDP is really just a certified translation of your driving license. You must keep your actual driving license with you at all times while driving. If requested by the authorities, present both your valid driving license and your IDP.
3-3. How long is an IDP valid?
An IDP is valid for 1 year, but you can only choose an effective date (starting date) 6 months in advance. In other words, if you want an IDP that will be valid between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2024, you can’t submit an application before 1 January 2023.
3-4. Can I get an IDP in the USA if I’m a visitor to the USA?
You can only get an IDP from the U.S. issuer (AAA) if you have a valid U.S. driving license. If you have a valid driving license from another country, you have to get your IDP from the recognized issuer in that country. So, if you’re visiting the U.S. from Italy and have an Italian driving license, you must get an IDP from the Italian issuer.
Individual U.S. states make their own rules, but you generally don’t need an IDP if your current non-U.S. driving license is written in English, or possibly English or Spanish.

2,254 | How to Apply for an Internship | 1. Finding Internships
1-1. Search generic job sites.
Websites that are used for job seekers usually include internships as well. Try sites like Indeed, Monster, CareerBuilder, Glassdoor, and ZipRecruiter.
In the search bar, type “intern” and any phrases that relate to your specific career field like “finance” or “medicine.”
There will also be an option for setting a geographic location for your search so you can find jobs near you.
1-2. Search intern-specific sites.
There are sites that cater specifically to interns and entry-level job seekers. Try sites like internships.com, LookSharp, Internmatch, and YouTern.
Look for message boards or sites that are specific to your preferred career field.
1-3. Attend career fairs.
Colleges and high schools often hold career fairs that will include a number of internship opportunities. These are a great option for finding internships because you can make a personal impression on the recruiter and ask questions about the position. If you are a student, ask someone in your school’s administrative office or career services office when these take place.
Ask the recruiter questions like what kind of work you’ll be doing during the internship, what kind of opportunities it could lead to, and what the company culture is like.
Most career fairs that aren’t held at schools will be for full-time jobs. If you do plan to attend one of these fairs, ask the event organizer if any internships will be available.
Think of your conversations with recruiters as interviews. Bring a resume, dress nicely, and exude confidence at the fairs so you make a good impression.
1-4. Ask your teachers.
Teachers and professors often know of internship or assistantship opportunities that may not be published on a job site. They themselves may be looking for an assistant to help out with certain tasks. If you are in college, you could also approach the administrators or your major’s department.
It’s best to approach a teacher you know fairly well and whose subject matter you are interested in. Say something like “I am really enjoying our class. Do you know of any relevant internship opportunities?”
2. Application Process
2-1. Create a résumé.
If you’re applying for an internship, it’s likely you don’t have much job experience. However, you’ll still need a professional-looking résumé to demonstrate your background and interests. If you don’t have much professional experience, try to think of other experiences that could be relevant.
Include information about volunteer work and extracurricular school activities or teams you participated in. Include the courses you have taken in school, your GPA, and standardized testing schools as well, especially if you feel like your résumé is too short.
Be descriptive in including your job functions, not just the names and dates of your employment. Instead of just saying that you served as an office assistant, describe duties like sending company-wide emails, drafting press releases, reordering office supplies, receiving and redirecting phone calls, and handling mail intake.
If you do have a lot experience to fill up your résumé, try to be concise. A résumé should be no longer than two pages long.
Design it so that the information can easily be gleamed by a skim read. Bullet points are a good way to emphasize the most important information.
Ask a teacher or a professional to read your résumé and give advice.
2-2. Gather references.
Many employers desire references to back up the information they’ll see on your résumé. Contact teachers, previous employers, or professionals that know you well ahead of time and make sure they are okay with being contacted by the employers you apply to.
Have at least 3 recommenders in mind. Provide no more than 5 per job application.
Try to give your recommender some guidance as to what qualities you want emphasized in the letter.
2-3. Create a portfolio.
For certain job fields, a work sample portfolio will go a long way toward landing you an internship. If you’re applying for something related to writing, art, computer programming, research, or a performance field like dancing or acting, your work samples will likely speak louder than your résumé or cover letter.
Provide a short description for each sample that gives the context for its creation. Describe the sample’s purpose and whether you made it for a job, school assignment, or recreation.
If you have a large number of samples, be selective about what you include. Choose 3-5 samples of your best work. Consider changing your portfolio around for different jobs if certain samples are more directly applicable than your best.
There are numerous free and premium online platforms for developing portfolios. Portfolio Gen, Carbonmade, eFolio, and Coroloft are some free options. Big Black Bad, Parade, and Pixpa are some premium options.
If you have some web design skills, you could use an open source site like WordPress, Blogger, or TypePad.
2-4. Craft your cover letters.
Cover letters are an opportunity to make a personal appeal to potential employers. Discuss your background, your interests, why you would be a valuable to the employer, and why the experience would be valuable for your long-term pursuits.
Avoid repeating the content from your résumé. Instead, express exactly how your experience prepares you for the internship you’re applying for.
Write a unique cover letter for each internship you apply to. Employers can easily tell if you’re using a cookie cutter letter and may reflect negatively on you.
Try to find a specific person to contact and address the letter to them. If you can’t find a specific contact person, address it as “Dear wikiHow hiring manager.”
3. Acing the Interview
3-1. Dress well and groom yourself.
Looking clean and professional is essential to demonstrating that you belong in a work environment. Consider the appearance of people working at the company you’re applying to and try to replicate that as best as possible. For some internships, you can dress more casually.
Always shower, brush your teeth, and comb your hair before your interview.
For men in a corporate environment, a suit is most ideal. If you don’t have a suit, wear a dress shirt, dress shows, and dress slacks with a tie. Make sure everything is properly laundered and ironed.
For women in a corporate environment, pantsuits or a professional dress should be worn. You can wear high heels or flats, as long as they are professional looking.
Try to conceal any tattoos and remove nontraditional piercings.
3-2. Exude confidence.
One of the biggest things employers are looking for in an interview is composure and confidence. Sit upright, maintain eye contact, and speak up.
If you think you may come off as nervous, try to practice some potential answers in front of mirror beforehand.
Try to think positively and imagine yourself succeeding in getting the internship to build confidence.
Find the technique that works for you. Living in the moment in the interview and not thinking of the outcome may take the pressure off and help you relax.
3-3. Prepare for generic questions.
Consider the questions you’ll be asked ahead of time. You’re more likely to be nervous if you have to think of your answer on the spot.
“What are your strengths and weaknesses?” “What made you decide to apply for this internship?” “Describe a time when you had to meet a deadline,” “Describe a time you had to work with a team,” “Describe a time you had to deal with a problem customer,” are common questions you’ll hear in a job or internship interview.
While it’s good to be prepared, don’t overthink your answers. The main purpose of these questions is to see how well you think on your feet and sounding over-rehearsed can reflect negatively on you.
3-4. Emphasize how you can help them.
A common mistake internship and job applicants make is overemphasizing how great the experience will be for them. Try to phrase all of your answers in ways that demonstrate your value to the employer.
Instead of saying “This would be a great opportunity for me to learn more about sales,” say something like “I think my passion for developing sales skills will really contribute to your team’s goals.”
3-5. Ask questions of your own.
Interviews will almost always end with the interviewer asking if you have any questions. Even if you don’t have anything particularly pressing to ask, coming up with a question or two will demonstrate that you’re engaged.
If you can’t think of anything specific, ask something like “When do you think you’ll be making your hiring decision?” “How long has the company been around?” or “What is the typical day-to-day like in the office?”
3-6. Send a follow-up email or note.
Job and internship-seekers often send a follow-up message to thank the potential employer for their time and restate their excitement about the position. You should wait two or three days before sending the follow-up.
A good follow-up should say something like “I just wanted to reach out and thank you for your time the other day. I sincerely enjoyed learning more about the company and position. Please let me know if you have any additional questions about my background or need anything else from me. I look forward to discussing further.”

2,255 | How to Apply for an LDS Mission | 1. Confirming Your Eligibility
1-1. Observe the age requirements and time commitment for your gender.
Note that men who want to serve a mission should be between the ages of 18-25 and open to serve for 24 months at a time. Women wishing to serve should be 19 or older and available to serve for 18 months.
Age exceptions may be made in the case of young men who are the children of mission presidents. Consult your church for more information.
1-2. Confirm that you are unmarried without children.
Determine if your marital or family status will invalidate your eligibility for a mission. People who have been divorced or have had children are typically not recommended by the LDS church for missionary service.
Speak to your bishop if you have extenuating circumstances you think qualify you for a mission despite your family or marital history.
1-3. Save about USD 10,000 to finance your mission.
Resolve any outstanding debts and put a plan in motion to save for your mission. In the LDS church, most aspiring missionaries begin saving money from a young age to help finance their service. If you’re just starting, create a budget and pick up odd jobs to begin saving.
Talk to your parents or another family about your savings goals. They can help you formulate a plan and may even be willing to make you a loan.
While there are no rules about other people contributing money to your missionary funds, many LDS leaders believe that the self-sacrifice involved in saving money for your mission can make your work ultimately feel more meaningful.
1-4. Determine if you’re emotionally prepared for a mission.
Consult a trusted counselor or therapist if you’ve struggled with mental health issues in the past. Examine whether your mindset is steady enough to deal with the change and upheaval a mission might insert in your daily routines.
The LDS church asks that all missionaries be of sound mental health before embarking on the difficult work of completing a mission.
If needed, discuss any medication regimens that might help prepare you mentally for a mission with your therapist.
It’s probably not the right time to apply for a mission if you are dealing with a traumatic event or in emotional distress due to an ongoing mental health problem.
1-5. Optimize your physical health.
Increase your physical fitness such that you can walk an average of 6 miles (9.7 km) a day and bike an average of 12 miles (19 km) a day. If you’re just starting with exercise, begin by walking 20 minutes a day a few days a week.
Gradually increase the length and frequency of your walks to reach peak missionary shape.
2. Preparing Spiritually
2-1. Repent for serious transgressions.
Talk to your bishop and stake president about any serious transgressions, such as drug abuse or violation of church norms regarding chastity, in your history. They will need to confirm that sufficient time has passed for you to be truly contrite and forgiven for your actions.
To be mission-eligible, you typically also need to have been free from such transgressions for at least 1 year.
Your bishop and stake president may restrict your ability to go on a mission if you transgress repeatedly. Alternatively, they may require a longer period free from transgressions to feel you have repented for your behavior.
The church has outlined steps of repentance to help you improve yourself here: https://mormonmissionprep.com/basic-doctrines/repentance-process-and-steps/.
2-2. Maintain your temple worthiness.
Keep yourself in good spiritual standing with the church by adhering to its outlined principles of good conduct and spirituality. Being a full-tithe payer, keeping the Word of Wisdom, attending church meetings, and not affiliating with anti-Mormon groups are all paramount to your preparedness for missionary work.
A comprehensive list of required characteristics for temple-worthiness can be found on the Church of Latter-day Saints’ website: https://www.lds.org/.
2-3. Join the church at least 1 year before applying to become a missionary.
Become a member of the LDS church so you can receive the Temple Endowment—a blessing that’s considered to come directly from God—before your mission. To receive this special blessing, you must be a church member for at least 1 year before your mission takes place.
Your Endowment usually takes place once you’ve been assigned to a mission within a few weeks of your start at a Missionary Training Center.
2-4. Receive your Melchizedek Priesthood ordination to the office of an Elder.
Consult with your bishop about the steps to become an elder in the church through a Melchizedek Priesthood ordination. This should take place before going on your mission or receiving your Temple Endowment. Only men are required to become Elders to serve a mission.
Becoming an Elder with the Melchizedek Priesthood means you are committing to preach the gospel wherever you are assigned around the world. You also have the authority to bless family members and administer to the sick.
There is no such equivalency for potential female missionaries.
2-5. Obtain a patriarchal blessing.
Get a blessing from an ordained patriarch in the LDS church to get ready for your mission. These special blessings are typically given out only once in a lifetime, and recipients are encouraged to keep their blessings personal and private.
Blessings usually celebrate a person’s strengths and reveal any weaknesses they should look to improve as they grow in their spirituality.
Keep your blessing in mind as you prepare for your mission.
3. Filing Required Paperwork and Attending Interviews
3-1. Meet with your bishop and obtain your mission application form.
Set an appointment with your bishop about 4 months before you’d like to leave for your mission. At the meeting, the bishop will interview you about your worthiness for the mission and counsel you on any repenting you should do if you’ve transgressed.
The bishop will give you either a paper mission application at your meeting or he will guide you to register for an LDS account to apply online. Note that this online service is not available in all areas.
3-2. Get a full health evaluation.
Make an appointment at both your doctor’s and dentist’s offices for appointments to assess your health. At your appointment, ask each practitioner to complete the required medical and dental forms included in your mission application.
These forms will confirm for your bishop and stake president that you are in good health and physically prepared for the challenges of your mission.
3-3. Complete your missionary candidate information on the application.
Consult your mission application and fill out relevant fields about your language skills, schooling, reasons for pursuing a mission, and trip financing. This background information will help the members of the church decide if you are mission-ready.
Most applications will request that you include or upload a photo of yourself as part of your missionary candidate information. To make the best impression, dress in conservative hair and clothing according to missionary standards.
Opt for modest clothing, such as a suit or long skirt, in a dark color. Keep hairstyles traditional, such as shorts with a side part or a tidy bun.
3-4. Bring your completed application to a second meeting with your bishop.
Set up a second meeting with your bishop so he can look over your completed mission application. At this meeting, he may ask you pointed questions about your skills, background, and preparedness for a mission based on the information you and your health practitioners have provided.
The bishop may also question your spiritual motives for pursuing a mission. Be prepared to discuss your faith and relationship with God in detail.
The bishop will likely take notes during your meeting. After you meet, he will provide a written recommendation regarding your missionary potential.
3-5. Meet with the stake president.
Follow the directions your bishop will give you to set up a meeting with the LDS stake president in your area. The stake president will conduct an interview regarding your readiness for a mission and will also provide his own written recommendation regarding your service.
At this meeting, the stake’s clerk will compile your application materials, as well as the written recommendations of the stake president and bishop, and pass them along to church headquarters for a final decision.
3-6. Wait for your mission call letter.
Wait patiently while the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in receipt of your application decides on your application. If you are accepted for service, a mission packet will arrive by mail within 2-4 weeks.
Your mission packet will detail your specific mission, any necessary supplies, and the date you should report to your local Mission Training Center.
In the unlikely event that the Quorum does not think you are ready for a mission at this time, you will also be notified by mail within the 2-4 week time period.
Tips
Talk with returned missionaries to get a sense of what it's like to be on a mission. They can also give you tips on the application process and counsel you regarding the interviews with your bishop and stake president.
If you are rejected for a mission, it is possible to reapply in the future. However, it would be best to set up another meeting with your bishop to discuss how you can improve your candidacy for future rounds before reapplying.

2,256 | How to Apply for an OCI Card in the U.S. | 1. Preparing Your Cox and Kings Paperwork
1-1. Visit the OCI page of Cox and Kings’ official website.
Currently, Cox and Kings Global Services handles all U.S.-based OCI applications. Therefore, you’ll need to visit their official website at https://www.in.ckgs.us/oci to fill out your OCI paperwork.
Cox and Kings changes their application guidelines frequently, so check their “How To Apply” page for the most updated information.
1-2. Complete the “OCI Application - Get Started” web form.
Scroll down to the “OCI Application - Get Started” web form and fill in every section that applies to you, including which state you live in, your marital status, and your citizenship status. When prompted, select whether you’re filing for a new OCI card, replacing a PIO card, or replacing a lost or damaged OCI card. Once you fill in everything, click the “Get Started” button at the bottom of the page.
Based on your answers, the page may add additional questions or remove irrelevant questions.
1-3. Work through the Cox and Kings application.
The Cox and Kings online application form will provide a detailed breakdown of everything you need to acquire an OCI card. Simply fill out the requested personal details and upload copies of any required items. Some things you may need to complete the application include:

Once you’ve completed your application, write down the CKGS Web Reference number listed on the results page. Then, print out the "Document Checklist" and gather up all the forms it asks for. Even if you submitted a form online, you may need to send in a physical copy as well.
Some documents you may need include a print of your application photo, a signed copy of your online application, and an affidavit stating you have original copies of all your documents.
Do not send in these documents until after you complete the government application.
2. Completing Your Government Forms
2-1. Visit the government of India’s “OCI Online Services” web page.
Even though Cox and Kings handles U.S.-based OCI applications, you’ll still need to file some official paperwork with the government of India. To do so, visit their “OCI Online Services” web page at https://ociservices.gov.in/ and select the “New OCI Registration” option.
In order to receive an OCI Card, you’ll need to complete both the Indian government and Kings and Cross applications, not just 1 or the other.
2-2. Complete the A and B application forms.
The government of India’s OCI application consists of 2 individual forms that you’ll need to fill out thoroughly. The government and Cox and Kings applications contain many of the same elements, so make sure the information you provide remains consistent between each. Requested info may include your:
Personal contact information
Citizenship and nationality status
Family lineage
2-3. Upload a photo, signature, and any other required items.
To complete your government OCI application, you’ll need to upload a photo of yourself and a photo of your signature to the website. In addition, you may need to provide scanned evidence of official documents like your passport.
If Cox and Kings requested an application photo, make sure you upload the same version here.
If you or the person you’re applying for cannot provide a signature due to age or disability, a fingerprint will suffice.
2-4. Update your Cox and Kings forms to show you filed with the government.
Once you’ve completed your official government application, return to the Cox and Kings homepage at https://www.in.ckgs.us/home/index and click the “Link Government Web Reference No. with CKGS Web Reference No.” box. Then, type the following information into the Existing Applicant web form:
Your date of birth
Your passport number
Your Cox and Kings reference number
Your government online OCI form number
3. Submitting Your Application
3-1. Mail your forms if you live far away from an Application Center.
While filling out your Cox and Kings application, you’ll have the option to purchase a prepaid application shipping label. You can paste this label to an approved shipping packet and use it to mail your paperwork to a Cox and Kings application center.
You can fix your shipping label to a UPS Express Envelope, a FedEx Express Envelope, or a FedEx Reusable Envelope.
To be properly processed, each shipping packet must weigh less than 0.5 lb (230 g) and contain no more than 1 application.
3-2. Hand deliver your forms if you live close to an application center.
While working through your online application, you can make an appointment to hand deliver your paperwork to a Cox and Kings application center. To do so, select “Walk-In” when prompted by the official website and choose an application date and time. When you arrive at your local application center, you’ll have the opportunity to submit your paperwork.
Cox and Kings has application centers in Washington DC, New York, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, and Atlanta.
3-3. Pay your application charges using a credit card.
For each individual application, you’ll have to pay a $275 new card fee, a $17 Cox and Kings service fee, a $3 Indian Community Welfare Fund fee, and a variable credit card convenience fee. In-person applicants can pay at the Cox and Kings Application Center while mail applicants will have to visit the payment section of Cox and Kings’ official website.

Tips
Before filling out your government OCI application, look over Cox and Kings’ sample application form at https://www.in.ckgs.us/resources/pdf/sample-oci-application-form.pdf.
To avoid creating inconsistencies between application forms, save your answers in a text document so you can refer back to them easily.
Applying for an OCI card will not affect your citizenship status, so don’t worry about filing extra paperwork with the U.S. government.

3. Restructuring Overdue Loans
3-1. Confirm your eligibility.
If you have overdue SSS loans, you may be able to restructure them so that the penalties are waived. However, this benefit is only available to member-borrowers who have been the victim of a calamity or natural disaster recognized by the national government.
The restructuring program covers past-due short-term loans, such as salary loans. If a natural disaster meant you were unable to make payments on your short-term loan, you can restructure that loan and eliminate any penalties for late payments.
To be eligible, you must be living or working in an area declared a national disaster area by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. Loans must be at least 6 months past due to qualify.
The Loan Restructuring Program (LRP) was first made available in 2017, and was extended into 2018. After October 2018, check with the SSS to find out if the LRP has been renewed or extended.
3-2. Fill out the loan restructuring application.
You can download an application form from the SSS website, or pick up a paper application at an SSS branch or service office. The form requires basic information about you and your employer.
You must also make a number of declarations to verify your eligibility for the program. Along with your application, you'll provide documents to support these declarations.
3-3. Complete an affidavit of residency.
Your affidavit of residency certifies that you live or work in a national disaster area. You can download the form at https://www.sss.gov.ph/sss/DownloadContent?fileName=mlp_affidavit_of_residency.pdf, or pick one up at your nearest SSS branch or service office.
Fill in the blanks on the form, but do not sign it. You must sign the affidavit in the presence of a notary.
Make a copy of your signed and notarized affidavit for your own records.
3-4. Get a Statement of Loan Balance from an SSS branch.
While you can view your outstanding balance online, your LRP application must be accompanied by an official statement issued by the SSS. You can get this statement from any nearby SSS branch.
Locate the SSS branch nearest you by searching the SSS branch directory online at https://www.sss.gov.ph/sss/getBranchDir.action.
3-5. Submit your application to your nearest SSS branch or service office.
All 256 SSS branches and service offices in the Philippines accept LRP applications during regular working hours.
You must submit your LRP application in person – you can't apply for this program online. If you don't currently live in the Philippines, you can authorize a family member to submit your application and supporting documentation for you. Complete a Special Power of Attorney form to authorize them. You can download this form at https://www.sss.gov.ph/sss/DownloadContent?fileName=mlp_special_power_of_attorney.pdf.
3-6. Select your payment terms.
You can choose to make a full payment of your loan within 30 days of your application, or choose a monthly payment plan. You can generally select any monthly payment plan you want, but your monthly payments cannot extend beyond 5 years.
If the amount you owe is less than P2,000.00, SSS prefers that you make payment in full. For amounts ranging from P2,000.00 to P18,000.00, the recommended term is 12 months.
Generally, the more you owe, the longer you can extend the monthly payment term. However, SSS approves the term you choose based on the totality of your circumstances.
3-7. Complete your payments on your restructured loan.
The restructuring program allows you either to settle the overdue principal by making a single payment in full, or by making installment payments.
Your loan penalties will be waived when you've paid your restructured loan in full.

2,258 | How to Apply for an Umrah Visa | 1. Preparing the Visa Application and Necessary Documents
1-1. Fill out the Umrah visa application form.
You must submit a filled-out copy of the 3-page visa application in order to receive the visa document. The application will require that you provide personal information and sign a document stating that you will not bring alcohol or narcotics into the country.
You can access, download, and print the visa application form online at: https://www.saudiembassy.net/sites/default/files/VisaApp.pdf. The form should be printed or filled out by hand in black ink.
1-2. Receive a vaccination against Meningococcal Meningitis.
You are required to have been vaccinated against this illness in order to enter Saudi Arabia for Umrah. Otherwise, your visa application will be denied. The vaccination should have been given not more than 3 years prior to the date of entry to Saudi Arabia. Make sure to receive the vaccination at least 10 days prior to your entry to Saudi Arabia, or your application may also be rejected.
If you have already received this vaccination, contact your doctor’s office. Ask them to provide written proof, signed by a physician, that you are vaccinated against meningitis.
If you’re traveling with children under 15 years of age, you’ll need to show proof that they have been vaccinated against polio as well as meningitis.
1-3. Obtain legal proof that you’re traveling with your husband or father.
If you’re a young woman entering Saudi Arabia for Umrah, you must travel with a male companion: either your husband (if you’re married) or your father (if you’re under 18). When applying for the Umrah visa, you’ll need to include a copy of your marriage license or birth certificate to prove your legal status.
Women over 45 years of age are excepted from this rule and may make the Umrah pilgrimage unaccompanied by their husband, as long as they travel with an organized group. Women over 45 will also need to show a letter of “no objection” from their husband or father, which permits them to travel.
If you’re unmarried and under 45, you may be able to make the Umrah pilgrimage if you travel with a brother.
2. Obtaining Travel Documents
2-1. Contact a licensed Umrah travel agent.
When you and your family visit Mecca for Umrah, the Saudi government requires that you do not make private travel plans to enter the country, but secure your visa through a travel agent. Licensed Umrah travel agencies will have an agreement with the Saudi government to distribute visa.
For example, if you live in the United States, you can travel through the Dawn Travels travel agency. Fill out or download their Umrah Visa Application at: http://www.dawntravels.com/download-umrah-visa-application.htm.
2-2. Obtain a passport that will be valid for 6 months past the travel date.
If you’re traveling internationally, you need to have a passport. You may need to renew your passport to ensure it will be valid 6 months after the travel date.
So, if you’re traveling for Umrah at the beginning of March, your passport must be valid through early September.
2-3. Take a color passport photo that clearly shows your face.
As part of your Umrah visa application, you must submit a full-size color passport photo with a white background. For the Umrah visa application, you must be directly facing the camera. A picture taken from the side, or even from a slight angle, may be rejected.
If your existing passport photo fits these criteria, you may not need to take a new photo. Contact the organization through which you obtained your passport (e.g. the Post Office) and ask how to obtain a large, printed copy of the photo.
2-4. Obtain proof of nonrefundable air travel tickets.
Before you apply for your Umrah visa, you need to purchase your airline tickets. The tickets must be nonrefundable and the purchases should be confirmed. Be sure that the date of departure from Saudi Arabia is within 2 weeks of the date of your arrival.
You will need to show your travel itinerary when you submit the Umrah application. This demonstrates to the Saudi government that you will not be in the country for longer than 2 weeks.
Tips
Unlike Hajj, the more formal pilgrimage that Muslim devout make to Mecca, Umrah is not obligatory. Consequently, also unlike Hajj, the Umrah pilgrimage can be made during any time of the year.[6]

2,259 | How to Apply for the CBAP Exam | 1. Steps
1-1. Read the CBAP Handbook.
You want to understand the qualification for sitting for the certification. This handbook provides a thorough explanation on the experiences needed to qualify, the educational requirements... etc.
1-2. Begin documenting your work experience.
This is the most challenging task as it requires that you look back 10 years and recall information about each of the projects you've worked on. You will need to remember the project name, description, hours worked on each projects, hours spend on business analysis tasks on each projects... etc.
1-3. Align the tasks you've performed in your previous experience with the tasks defined in the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge® (BABOK®).
A great technique for doing so is to first (1) understand the deliverables produced in each task and (2) matching them against those you've produced. This will allow you to determine if your past experience is inline with what the BABOK® defines as business analysis experience.
1-4. Determine the total number of hours you've worked on each project.
This is the number of courses that you spent working on all project activities regardless of whether they were business analysis tasks or not.
1-5. Determine the total number of hours you've performed business analysis work on that project.
In order to be eligible to sit for the CBAP, you will need a total of 7500 hours of business analysis experience. Meaning in any given project, if you've worked 1000 hours total, and only 25% of this time was allocated to business analysis activities, then you can only use 250 hours to apply toward your eligibility.
1-6. Determine eligibility:
total hours. Sum up all the hours from each projects to determine if your past experience provides you with the 7500 hours needed to qualify for the CBAP®.
1-7. Develop a mechanism for allocating the percentage of total number of hours worked on a project to the specific business analysis tasks.
The business analysis tasks you want to allocate time to are those that align with the BABOK®.
1-8. Determine eligibility:
hours spent on each Knowledge Area. Another qualifying factor to sit for the CBAP is the number of hours spent on knowledge areas. IIBA requires that you have experience in 4 out of the 6 knowledge area and that you spend at least 900 hours performing the tasks of those knowledge areas.
1-9. Input this information into your online application form.
1-10. Submit your application.
Wait about three weeks to receive a response on whether you have been approved or not.
Warnings
This process can take you up to 1 month if you do not have the appropriate tools or mentoring to guide you.

2,260 | How to Apply for the Link Card in Illinois | 1. Qualifying For SNAP
1-1. Count the number of persons in your household.
The number of people in your household includes you, your spouse, children under 18 years of age and anyone else with whom you live and buy and share food.
If you live alone or live with others but do not buy and share food with them, the total number of people in your household is 1.
if you live with your spouse and two minor children, the total number of people in your household is 4.
If you live with others and all of you buy and share food together, count each individual member towards the total number of people in your household.
If any person in your household is over the age of 60 or disabled, that person is considered a "qualifying member." That person might qualify for benefits separate from the rest of the household. If this is your situation, contact your local IDHS office to ask how this will affect your eligibility.
1-2. Calculate your gross monthly income.
To qualify for SNAP, you will need to disclose the gross monthly income for your entire household.
Add income from all sources, including earned income (before payroll taxes are deducted) and unearned income, such as cash assistance, Social Security benefits, unemployment insurance and child support.
Add income earned by every member of your household.
1-3. Assess your assets.
Assets are defined as anything you own that has monetary value. Calculate the total value of your assets, including:
Liquid assets: cash, money in a checking account or savings account
Non-liquid assets: cars, property, real estate
Note that some non-liquid assets, including your home, clothing, furnishings and one car, will not count towards the asset limit. Contact your local IDHS office to find out which non-liquid assets you should include when calculating the total value of your assets.
1-4. Use the SNAP calculator to determine eligibility and benefits
Open the link for the SNAP calculator on the Illinois Department of Human Services website: http://fscalc.dhs.illinois.gov/FSCalc/
Enter all of the information requested, including the number of people in your household, your gross monthly income, the total value of your assets and your expenses.
Press "Calculate Now!" to find out whether you qualify and, if so, how much money you are eligible to receive in benefits.
1-5. Confirm no other factors disqualify you.
Even if the SNAP calculator indicates that you meet the required income and household member guidelines, you will not qualify for SNAP if:
You have an intentional program violation on your record.
You are living in a hospital, jail or other place where meals are provided.
You are on strike.
You were convicted of a drug felony on or after August 22, 1996.
You are an undocumented immigrant.
2. Applying For Your Card
2-1. File an application.
Apply online by filling out the Application for Benefits Eligibility (ABE) on the IDHS website: https://abe.illinois.gov/abe/access/. Submit it electronically.
Download and print a paper application at http://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=33698. Fill it out, sign it and then mail, fax or submit it in person to your local Family Community Resource Center.
Apply in person at your local Family Community Resource Center. Use the DHS Locator (http://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?module=12) to find the Family Community Resource Center nearest to you.
If you do not have internet access and have questions about how to obtain and submit an application, call IDHS at 1-800-843-6154.
2-2. Attend an interview.
Once your local IDHS office receives your application, you will be asked to come to the office for an interview. If you are unable to come to the office due to a disability or conflict with your job, you can probably arrange for a phone interview.
Interviews are typically scheduled within 14 days of filing an application.
Take the documents the IDHS caseworker tells you to bring to the interview. These will likely include: proof of identity, proof of your residence and proof of social security numbers for all people in your application.
2-3. Wait to receive a response by mail.
Within 30 days of processing your application, IDHS will inform you by mail whether or not you qualified to receive SNAP benefits.
If you are approved, you will be informed the amount of monthly SNAP allowance you have been awarded and receive a card in the mail.
If you are denied benefits or you do not think you have been awarded the right amount of SNAP allowance, you have the right to file an appeal within 90 days.
2-4. Use you card appropriately to avoid incurring penalties.
You can use your LINK card to buy most foods from grocery stores and farmers' markets and to pay for meals brought to you by the Meals on Wheels program.
You cannot use your LINK card to buy: prepared meals from a grocery store, alcohol, tobacco, soap, paper products, pet food or other nonfood items.
Tips
If your income is less than your monthly rent or mortgage payment and the appropriate utility standard or in certain other extreme cases of need, you may be entitled to receive SNAP benefits immediately.[13]

2,261 | How to Apply for the NCLEX | 1. Submitting Your Application
1-1. Start the application process at least 6 months in advance.
This will give the Board of Nurses (BON) time to approve your application and send you an Authorization to Test (ATT) code. It is also enough time to fix any issues or errors that may come up during the application process.
You may start applying before your graduation date.
1-2. Find an application on your state’s BON website.
In your search engine type “Texas State Board of Nursing,” for example. Click on your state’s BON website in the results list. On the website, click “Applicants” or “Applications and Forms.” You will be redirected to a page that contains access to the application, and instructions on how to fill out the application.
1-3. Fill out an application online if you have a computer.
Fill out all of the required information, including your personal identification information and information about your education. You will also need to provide your school’s 10-digit code. Before submitting your application, review the information to make sure it is correct. Then pay the $100 licensing fee with a credit card or an electronic check.
You can ask your school of nursing for its 10-digit code, or you can obtain it from the following spreadsheet https://www.ncsbn.org/NCLEX_Educational_Program_Codes.pdf.
1-4. Download and fill out a paper application if you prefer.
You can download an application from your state’s BON website. Fill out all of the required information. To pay the $100 licensing fee, make a check payable to your state’s BON. Once you complete the application, mail it with the check to your state’s BON address.
You will also need your school’s 10-digit code to complete the application. Obtain the code from your school of nursing or from the following spreadsheet https://www.ncsbn.org/NCLEX_Educational_Program_Codes.pdf.

You must test within the time period specified by the BON.
If the BON approved you, but you did not receive your ATT, or if you have lost your ATT, call NCLEX Candidate Services at 1-866-496-2539.

2,263 | How to Apply the Baby Whisperer's Sleep Method | 1. Learning the Method
1-1. Understand the problem.
Infants struggle to regulate their own sleep cycles, and new parents often do not know how to best teach their infant to sleep through the night.
Some people, most notably Richard Ferber (creator of "the Ferber method), have advocated letting infants cry for increasing intervals to help them teach themselves to self-sooth. But this method has been very controversial, and when taken to extremes (with babies left to cry for extended periods of time) it can cause psychological stress and health problems in the child.
Other professionals have advocated methods of attachment parenting, such as co-sleeping, nursing to sleep, and rocking to sleep, which sometimes make it difficult for the mother to get any rest.
1-2. Learn about the philosophy.
Tracy Hogg, author of "Secrets of the Baby Whisperer," felt that letting babies cry themselves to sleep and providing too much attention at bedtime were both extremes that should be avoided. Her method is intended to be a moderate middle ground between extreme cry-it-out methods and extreme attachment parenting.
The Baby Whisperer Sleep Method involves a strict day and nighttime routine for babies so that their bodies naturally adjust to bedtime at the right time. It also involves learning the baby's cues and how to communicate with the baby, so that the parent knows when the baby is tired.
The method must be adapted depending on the age of the baby. No sleep method at all should be used in the first three months of life, when the newborn sleeps excessively and does not participate much in play or interaction.
1-3. Learn about the E.A.S.Y.
method. The acronym represents the stages of a strictly structured routine, which is the basis of this sleep method.
E stands for Eat. When a baby first wakes up from a nap or bedtime, the first thing you should do feed the baby. Whether it's a snack or a full blown meal (milk or solids, depending on the age), it's important that this is the first step.
A stands for Activities. After eating it's time to play, run errands, or do any other activities that are not eating or sleeping. The amount of time spent doing activities will vary depending on the child's age, as very young infants cannot play for long without becoming tired, but older infants and toddlers can often go several hours.
S stands for Sleep. It's important that sleep directly follows activities, because the child has played until he or she begins to show signs of tiredness, and then transitions directly to sleeping without nursing or having a bottle. According to Hogg, bottles and nursing to sleep provide "props" that a baby relies on to fall asleep, preventing the baby from learning how to self-sooth.
Y stands for You Time, and it's what you get when you follow the rest of the routine.
1-4. Learn about "pick up/put down" (pu/pd).
The EASY routine provides the structural framework in which the sleep method itself must exist, but perhaps the heart of the method itself is the philosophy behind pu/pd.
When a baby is placed in her bed for naptime or bedtime, she may quietly "talk" to herself, fall asleep, or cry. If she cries, the caregiver goes to her and picks her up, then practices a number of "Four S" techniques meant to sooth the baby. These include:
Set the stage: This involves the bedtime routine, and it should be the same for every sleep period and no longer than five minutes total. This is a winding down period that serves as a cue to the baby that it is now time to go to sleep. For example, you might change the baby's diaper, close the curtains, turn off the light, sing a certain song, and say a specific sleepy phrase (for example, "time to go night night").
Swaddling: Not all babies like to be swaddled, but if yours does, this is one technique that can help sooth her to sleep.
Sitting quietly with the baby.
Shush-pat: This method works best for younger infants, and involves a firm pat in the center of the baby's back in the pattern of a heartbeat (pat-pat, pat-pat) accompanied by a "shhhh" sound that is quite loud to distract the baby from its own crying.
After the baby is calmed (but likely still awake), the caregiver puts her down into her crib and then leaves the room. The caregiver repeats this process (pick up, sooth, put down) as many times as needed to gently encourage sleep.
2. Using the Method for Babies 3 to 6 Months Old
2-1. Plan a routine.
The routine's elements-- eating, playing and sleeping, in that order-- are non-negotiable. But the length of each element will vary depending on your baby's needs.
Observe the time that your baby tends to naturally rise for the day. This will be the starting point of your daily routine.
Remember, Hogg calls it a "routine" and not a "schedule" for a reason. A schedule implies that you do things at the same time every day. A routine, however, implies the same order and structure, but not necessarily the same time or length of time for each element on the routine. You can be flexible with the routine by lengthening or shortening some of the elements throughout the day, but you must stick with the order consistently from day to day.
2-2. Feed the baby.
This is the first step as soon as the baby wakes in the morning (you may need to change a diaper first). It's a logical first step because a baby who wakes from a long sleep period needs sustenance immediately.
At this age, you should feed the baby either breastmilk or formula only. Most babies 3-6 months old eat between 3-8 ounces of formula at each feeding. If your baby is breastfed, you won't know how many ounces, but you will feed your baby until she is no longer interested in actively nursing. As long as she is having regular wet and dirty diapers, and is gaining weight appropriately, you know she is getting the right amount of milk.
Generally, at this age feeding the baby will likely take around 30 minutes or so.
2-3. Play.
After mealtime is finished, it's time for activities to stimulate the baby prior to another period of sleep. Well rested now and with a dry diaper and a full stomach, your baby can focus on the important activities that help her motor, cognitive, and social skills to blossom.
The activities should vary and can consist of tummy time, looking at picture books, going for a walk outside, and other age-appropriate ways of stimulating the baby. The length of the play period will vary depending on your baby's attention span (which gets longer with age) and level of tiredness, and will most likely end with changing your baby's diaper.
2-4. Put the baby down for a nap.
With a full tummy and a dry diaper, your baby should be ready for a nap. At 3 months, a baby will need 5 hours of sleep during the day and 10 hours at night.
Lay the baby down to sleep in her crib when she shows signs of tiredness. Follow a bedtime routine regardless of the time of day by keeping activity to a minimum and by providing peaceful surroundings.
Remain consistent with the sleep routine. The pattern of how to apply the Baby Whisperer's sleep method should be the same for naps as it is for nighttime.
If your baby cries, offer comfort. Begin with shushing sounds. If your baby remains fussy, gently pat her back to calm cries. If this isn't enough, pick her up but don't hold her longer than 2 or 3 minutes at a time. Put her all the way back down for the same amount of time and repeat the process until she is calm.
2-5. Listen to your baby.
Throughout the routine, your baby's cries, movements, noises, shouts or other vocalizations and body language are her way of speaking to you before she can talk. With time and practice, you will learn to decipher various behaviors and cries, which is a vital step in recognizing when she wants to eat, play, and sleep. Using this information, you should adjust the length of time that you spend at each of the stages of the routine (eat, play, and sleep).
Steady, rhythmic cries signify hunger. If you hear this sound during a sleep period, it's time to feed the baby. Babies of this age do not typically sleep through the night without eating.
High-pitched, sudden cries along with jerky movements can indicate pain or discomfort. Rather than just offering comfort, you should check your baby to be sure no parts of the body are in pain or injured.
Tired babies may rub their eyes, yawn or blink. When you begin to see these signs during activity time, it's time to transition to sleep time. Sometimes activity time will be shorter than others, depending on how tired your baby is from different amounts of stimulation.
2-6. Repeat the routine throughout the day.
You will need to adjust for length-- some babies take a short morning nap and two longer afternoon naps, and some babies thrive on perfectly spaced naps of equal length.
Most babies at this age take three naps of about 5 hours and sleep a total of about 10 hours at night.
It may take days or even weeks of utilizing the EASY method and the pu/pd sleep method before your baby adjusts and accepts the routine. According to the author of the method, it is vital that you follow through with the method, rather than giving up if your baby resists. However, you should always discuss any trouble with your baby's sleep or behavior with your pediatrician to ensure that there are no underlying problems like acid reflux or colic.
3. Using the Method for Babies 6 to 8 Months
3-1. Adjust the routine as your baby grows.
While the elements of the routine stay the same (eat, play, sleep, in that order), the length of the elements and the strategies you might use will vary as your child becomes more aware, interactive, and alert during the day and more conscious of your absence at night.
At 6 months old, most babies should not need a nighttime feeding, especially if he/she is eating solid food during the day.
When your baby begins to sleep through the night, you can stretch the period of activity to 2 to 2.5 hours of playtime between naps. There will also be times when you may need to be flexible with the schedule, such as vacations or when you need to run errands that take longer than 2 hours.
3-2. Watch for your baby's cues before you pick her up.
During nap or bedtime, babies of this age often "talk" to themselves or babble, or cry out of tiredness to help themselves fall asleep. It's important that you don't rush to her before she has had a chance to settle in for sleep. Listen to the sound of the cry.
The most common signal that she wants to be comforted is your child holding out her hands to you. When you pick her up, hold her in a horizontal position and say soothing words before placing her back in the crib.
If she gets more upset, walk away from her crib and avoid eye contact. You may be a distraction.
3-3. Introduce a transitional item.
At this age, your baby has become more aware of your absence and may benefit from an item that can help comfort and sooth her to sleep, such as a small, soft blanket or favorite sleep-safe toy.
If possible, try to use the same object at every nap and bedtime, and try to keep the toy or blanket in the bed only. This way, the baby will learn to associate the transitional item with sleep and not with playtime, and will be more likely to use it to sooth herself to sleep rather than playing in the bed.
4. Using the Method for Babies 8 Months and Older
4-1. Continue to adjust the routine as needed.
This means you will continue to increase the amount of playtime and activity, while reducing daytime naps. Always watch for your baby's signals so you will have a better understanding of what your child needs.
From around 8 months to a year, your child should still be taking 2 naps a day. Most babies only need one nap after a year, but you should know from your baby's tired signals and alertness while playing whether she is ready to eliminate one nap.
Naps may range from 20 minutes to several hours, depending on the baby. Continue to watch the baby's cues.
4-2. Begin allowing your child to settle down on her own.
Lay her down in the crib and walk away. Don't pick her up unless she gets very upset.
A baby monitor may be especially helpful at this stage. If you see that your baby has become so upset that she sits or stands, go into her room, pick her up and then lay her back down facing away from you.
If your baby isn't calming down on her own, leave her lying in her crib (rather than picking her up) and say comforting things. Babies of this age understand quite a bit of language, so you might use a soothing phrase like "Mama's here. It's night time baby," which you can use consistently at every sleep time to help the baby adjust to sleep. You may place your hand on her back for a few minutes.
4-3. Listen when your baby cries out at night before you immediately rush to her.
She may be able to soothe herself.
Nighttime cries or calls are part of the normal sleep cycle, even for adults who often talk in their sleep. Since babies can't talk, they often grunt, moan, yell, or cry while still sleeping. If you go in and comfort the baby at this point, it will actually backfire by waking the baby more and disturbing the sleep cycle.
If the cries escalate or seem unusual, go and comfort your baby.
Tips
Be sure that your partner, if you have one, understands the sleep method so that he or she can participate, especially during the first few nights as you try to establish a sleep pattern. The pu/pd method can be exhausting for a parent as the child adapts to it (the author of the book noted that sometimes it takes several hundred times of picking up and putting down a child each night for the first few nights!).[11]

Research source
Take a positive approach to this sleep training method. Do it with patience and kindness. It isn't an easy method for parents, but you're providing your baby with a life-long skill of independence.[12]
X
Research source
Limit daytime television, particularly if your child is prone to night terrors. Television is an environmental factor that can contribute to night terror even if you don't think your baby is watching it.[13]

Warnings
Missing your baby's tired signals can lead to her becoming over tired, which can make it more difficult for her to get to sleep.
Do not use the Baby Whisperer's sleep methods until your baby is at least 3 months old.
Any method of sleep training or behavior training an infant can be taken to extremes to a point that is not healthy for a parent or child. Be sure that you talk to your pediatrician about this method and if it is a good idea for your family.

It's a logical first step because a baby who wakes from a long sleep period needs sustenance immediately.\\nAt this age, you should feed the baby either breastmilk or formula only. Most babies 3-6 months old eat between 3-8 ounces of formula at each feeding. If your baby is breastfed, you won't know how many ounces, but you will feed your baby until she is no longer interested in actively nursing. As long as she is having regular wet and dirty diapers, and is gaining weight appropriately, you know she is getting the right amount of milk.\\nGenerally, at this age feeding the baby will likely take around 30 minutes or so.\\n2-3. Play.\\nAfter mealtime is finished, it's time for activities to stimulate the baby prior to another period of sleep. Well rested now and with a dry diaper and a full stomach, your baby can focus on the important activities that help her motor, cognitive, and social skills to blossom.\\nThe activities should vary and can consist of tummy time, looking at picture books, going for a walk outside, and other age-appropriate ways of stimulating the baby. The length of the play period will vary depending on your baby's attention span (which gets longer with age) and level of tiredness, and will most likely end with changing your baby's diaper.\\n2-4. Put the baby down for a nap.\\nWith a full tummy and a dry diaper, your baby should be ready for a nap. At 3 months, a baby will need 5 hours of sleep during the day and 10 hours at night.\\nLay the baby down to sleep in her crib when she shows signs of tiredness. Follow a bedtime routine regardless of the time of day by keeping activity to a minimum and by providing peaceful surroundings.\\nRemain consistent with the sleep routine. The pattern of how to apply the Baby Whisperer's sleep method should be the same for naps as it is for nighttime.\\nIf your baby cries, offer comfort. Begin with shushing sounds. If your baby remains fussy, gently pat her back to calm cries. If this isn't enough, pick her up but don't hold her longer than 2 or 3 minutes at a time. Put her all the way back down for the same amount of time and repeat the process until she is calm.\\n2-5. Listen to your baby.\\nThroughout the routine, your baby's cries, movements, noises, shouts or other vocalizations and body language are her way of speaking to you before she can talk. With time and practice, you will learn to decipher various behaviors and cries, which is a vital step in recognizing when she wants to eat, play, and sleep. Using this information, you should adjust the length of time that you spend at each of the stages of the routine (eat, play, and sleep).\\nSteady, rhythmic cries signify hunger. If you hear this sound during a sleep period, it's time to feed the baby. Babies of this age do not typically sleep through the night without eating.\\nHigh-pitched, sudden cries along with jerky movements can indicate pain or discomfort. Rather than just offering comfort, you should check your baby to be sure no parts of the body are in pain or injured.\\nTired babies may rub their eyes, yawn or blink. When you begin to see these signs during activity time, it's time to transition to sleep time. Sometimes activity time will be shorter than others, depending on how tired your baby is from different amounts of stimulation.\\n2-6. Repeat the routine throughout the day.\\nYou will need to adjust for length-- some babies take a short morning nap and two longer afternoon naps, and some babies thrive on perfectly spaced naps of equal length.\\nMost babies at this age take three naps of about 5 hours and sleep a total of about 10 hours at night.\\nIt may take days or even weeks of utilizing the EASY method and the pu/pd sleep method before your baby adjusts and accepts the routine. According to the author of the method, it is vital that you follow through with the method, rather than giving up if your baby resists. However, you should always discuss any trouble with your baby's sleep or behavior with your pediatrician to ensure that there are no underlying problems like acid reflux or colic.\\n3. Using the Method for Babies 6 to 8 Months\\n3-1. Adjust the routine as your baby grows.\\nWhile the elements of the routine stay the same (eat, play, sleep, in that order), the length of the elements and the strategies you might use will vary as your child becomes more aware, interactive, and alert during the day and more conscious of your absence at night.\\nAt 6 months old, most babies should not need a nighttime feeding, especially if he/she is eating solid food during the day.\\nWhen your baby begins to sleep through the night, you can stretch the period of activity to 2 to 2.5 hours of playtime between naps. There will also be times when you may need to be flexible with the schedule, such as vacations or when you need to run errands that take longer than 2 hours.\\n3-2. Watch for your baby's cues before you pick her up.\\nDuring nap or bedtime, babies of this age often \\\"talk\\\" to themselves or babble, or cry out of tiredness to help themselves fall asleep. It's important that you don't rush to her before she has had a chance to settle in for sleep. Listen to the sound of the cry.\\nThe most common signal that she wants to be comforted is your child holding out her hands to you. When you pick her up, hold her in a horizontal position and say soothing words before placing her back in the crib.\\nIf she gets more upset, walk away from her crib and avoid eye contact. You may be a distraction.\\n3-3. Introduce a transitional item.\\nAt this age, your baby has become more aware of your absence and may benefit from an item that can help comfort and sooth her to sleep, such as a small, soft blanket or favorite sleep-safe toy.\\nIf possible, try to use the same object at every nap and bedtime, and try to keep the toy or blanket in the bed only. This way, the baby will learn to associate the transitional item with sleep and not with playtime, and will be more likely to use it to sooth herself to sleep rather than playing in the bed.\\n4. Using the Method for Babies 8 Months and Older\\n4-1. Continue to adjust the routine as needed.\\nThis means you will continue to increase the amount of playtime and activity, while reducing daytime naps. Always watch for your baby's signals so you will have a better understanding of what your child needs.\\nFrom around 8 months to a year, your child should still be taking 2 naps a day. Most babies only need one nap after a year, but you should know from your baby's tired signals and alertness while playing whether she is ready to eliminate one nap.\\nNaps may range from 20 minutes to several hours, depending on the baby. Continue to watch the baby's cues.\\n4-2. Begin allowing your child to settle down on her own.\\nLay her down in the crib and walk away. Don't pick her up unless she gets very upset.\\nA baby monitor may be especially helpful at this stage. If you see that your baby has become so upset that she sits or stands, go into her room, pick her up and then lay her back down facing away from you.\\nIf your baby isn't calming down on her own, leave her lying in her crib (rather than picking her up) and say comforting things. Babies of this age understand quite a bit of language, so you might use a soothing phrase like \\\"Mama's here. It's night time baby,\\\" which you can use consistently at every sleep time to help the baby adjust to sleep. You may place your hand on her back for a few minutes.\\n4-3. Listen when your baby cries out at night before you immediately rush to her.\\nShe may be able to soothe herself.\\nNighttime cries or calls are part of the normal sleep cycle, even for adults who often talk in their sleep. Since babies can't talk, they often grunt, moan, yell, or cry while still sleeping. If you go in and comfort the baby at this point, it will actually backfire by waking the baby more and disturbing the sleep cycle.\\nIf the cries escalate or seem unusual, go and comfort your baby.\\nTips\\nBe sure that your partner, if you have one, understands the sleep method so that he or she can participate, especially during the first few nights as you try to establish a sleep pattern. The pu/pd method can be exhausting for a parent as the child adapts to it (the author of the book noted that sometimes it takes several hundred times of picking up and putting down a child each night for the first few nights!).[11]\\nX\\nResearch source\\nTake a positive approach to this sleep training method. Do it with patience and kindness. It isn't an easy method for parents, but you're providing your baby with a life-long skill of independence.[12]\\nX\\nResearch source\\nLimit daytime television, particularly if your child is prone to night terrors. Television is an environmental factor that can contribute to night terror even if you don't think your baby is watching it.[13]\\nX\\nResearch source\\nWarnings\\nMissing your baby's tired signals can lead to her becoming over tired, which can make it more difficult for her to get to sleep.\\nDo not use the Baby Whisperer's sleep methods until your baby is at least 3 months old.\\nAny method of sleep training or behavior training an infant can be taken to extremes to a point that is not healthy for a parent or child. Be sure that you talk to your pediatrician about this method and if it is a good idea for your family.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Sleep issues have long been one of the top parental complaints from new parents.

But this method has been very controversial, and when taken to extremes (with babies left to cry for extended periods of time) it can cause psychological stress and health problems in the child.\\nOther professionals have advocated methods of attachment parenting, such as co-sleeping, nursing to sleep, and rocking to sleep, which sometimes make it difficult for the mother to get any rest.\"}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Learn about the philosophy.\", \"描述\": \"Tracy Hogg, author of \\\"Secrets of the Baby Whisperer,\\\" felt that letting babies cry themselves to sleep and providing too much attention at bedtime were both extremes that should be avoided.

It also involves learning the baby's cues and how to communicate with the baby, so that the parent knows when the baby is tired.\\nThe method must be adapted depending on the age of the baby.

Whether it's a snack or a full blown meal (milk or solids, depending on the age), it's important that this is the first step.\\nA stands for Activities. After eating it's time to play, run errands, or do any other activities that are not eating or sleeping. The amount of time spent doing activities will vary depending on the child's age, as very young infants cannot play for long without becoming tired, but older infants and toddlers can often go several hours.\\nS stands for Sleep. It's important that sleep directly follows activities, because the child has played until he or she begins to show signs of tiredness, and then transitions directly to sleeping without nursing or having a bottle. According to Hogg, bottles and nursing to sleep provide \\\"props\\\" that a baby relies on to fall asleep, preventing the baby from learning how to self-sooth.\\nY stands for You Time, and it's what you get when you follow the rest of the routine.\"}, {\"编号\": 4, \"标题\": \"Learn about \\\"pick up/put down\\\" (pu/pd).\", \"描述\": \"The EASY routine provides the structural framework in which the sleep method itself must exist, but perhaps the heart of the method itself is the philosophy behind pu/pd.\\nWhen a baby is placed in her bed for naptime or bedtime, she may quietly \\\"talk\\\" to herself, fall asleep, or cry. If she cries, the caregiver goes to her and picks her up, then practices a number of \\\"Four S\\\" techniques meant to sooth the baby. These include:\\nSet the stage: This involves the bedtime routine, and it should be the same for every sleep period and no longer than five minutes total. This is a winding down period that serves as a cue to the baby that it is now time to go to sleep. For example, you might change the baby's diaper, close the curtains, turn off the light, sing a certain song, and say a specific sleepy phrase (for example, \\\"time to go night night\\\").\\nSwaddling: Not all babies like to be swaddled, but if yours does, this is one technique that can help sooth her to sleep.\\nSitting quietly with the baby.\\nShush-pat: This method works best for younger infants, and involves a firm pat in the center of the baby's back in the pattern of a heartbeat (pat-pat, pat-pat) accompanied by a \\\"shhhh\\\" sound that is quite loud to distract the baby from its own crying.\\n\\nAfter the baby is calmed (but likely still awake), the caregiver puts her down into her crib and then leaves the room.

2,265 | How to Apply to Be a Mystery Shopper | 1. Researching Mystery Shopper Companies
1-1. Check out the company on the Providers Association website.
The MSPA (Mystery Shoppers Providers Association) has a large database of reputable companies, free of charge.
They work to deter scammers and keep a running list of scam sites.
The MSPA offers training and resources for mystery shoppers, for a fee. You can become a member of the MSPA and have access to networking information and other benefits.
1-2. Never accept a check from a company before you complete the work.
The MSPA recommends refusing payment from a company that offers you a check without asking you to complete an assignment. This is likely a scam.
The scam promoter or company may send you a check with instructions to deposit it in a personal bank account. They will then tell you to withdraw the amount in cash, and wire it to a third party. But the check is fake and the person who deposited the check (you) will then be responsible for paying back the bank.
Some scammers will use the MSPA logo in their emails or letters to appear more legitimate. It's always best to be suspicious if the company sends you a check before you complete the work, even if their email or letter has an MSPA logo.
1-3. Never pay a hiring fee.
Dishonest companies use newspaper ads and emails to give you the impression mystery shopper jobs are the first step to higher-paying jobs. They may tell you that you need to register or get certified to be a mystery shopper. But it is not necessary to pay anyone to get into the mystery shopping business.
Once you pay the “hiring fee”, you likely won’t get a refund from the promoters or a position at a company.
1-4. Contact the hiring companies directly.
Don’t just go to their website and take a quick look around, or answer an email from a so-called shopper service and wait to get hired. Call the company through a listed number on their website, or locate them by googling their name. Look at the address and contact information listed on their website or on google pages to make sure they have a physical office.
Contacting them allows you to confirm they are a legitimate company and can offer you a real position as a mystery shopper.
2. Completing an Application
2-1. Prepare your documentation.
You will need basic information about yourself. You will also need official documentation like your social security number.
Always be wary of scam sites and never give out your SSN if you feel uncomfortable with the site. Companies usually offer a fax in or mail in option for the application if you do not want to give this information out online.
Some applications may ask if you have a credit card you can use for purchases in the store during your shift. But, if the company is legitimate, you should not have to give out your credit card number.
2-2. Register with a mystery shopping company.
Make sure there is no fee for registering with the company.
By registering, you become an independent contractor for the company. Once you have registered, the company will look over your application. They will then contact you directly with possible mystery shopping jobs. You are required to fill out an application with information such as:
Name, address, home phone, email.
The distance you are willing to travel to reach a job.
Languages spoken fluently.
Any other mystery shopping companies you have worked for.
Date of birth, background, ethnicity and education.
Some applications may need your social security number.
2-3. Wait for approval of your application.
Once you become an approved shopper, the company will email you with your shopper ID. You will also be given access to a database with possible jobs in your area.
After you choose which shops you are interested in, you can choose from a range of dates to perform the shop.
Keep in mind accepting the shop means you are committed to completing the shop during the specified time frame.
3. Understanding the Role of a Mystery Shopper
3-1. Remember you are providing stores with valuable information about their customer service.
As a mystery shopper, you will pose as an ordinary customer. You will then evaluate the business’ service, cleanliness, quality and efficiency when helping customers.
You must also be at least 18 years of age.
You will receive complete guidelines for each shop where you complete a job. It is your responsibility to uphold the guidelines. You must also fulfill all the expectations of a mystery shopper at a certain store or shop.
It’s important to demonstrate excellent observational skills and be detail oriented. You need to be able to watch the store and the employees as you shop, without making it obvious that you are a secret shopper.
3-2. Be aware you will work flexible hours.
Reputable companies will hire you as an independent contractor, not an employee. This means you can choose your assignments according to your schedule and take as many jobs as you’d like. So you can squeeze in a mystery shop during your lunch break or commit several hours a week to mystery shopping.
The average shop time is between 1 and 2 hours.
3-3. Understand how you will get paid by the company.
A reputable company will pay you once you write a quality report for the shop, based on your experience as a mystery shopper.
The usual rate varies from $5 to $20 a shop.
Some mystery shops will ask you to buy a meal or a sale item. The company will reimburse you for these costs.
Tips
Set up a separate email for your mystery shop jobs. You will be receiving daily/weekly email updates with what is new or available in your area. So, instead of having to sift through various e-mails, all the shop information will be in one designated place.

2,266 | How to Apply to College | 1. Deciding Where to Apply
1-1. Map out the application process with a timeline.
At the end of junior year or over the summer, make a list of all the steps you'll need to take during the application process. Maintaining a bird's-eye-view over these tasks can prevent you from getting overwhelmed help you avoid missed deadlines.
For an example timeline, check out https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/get-in/applying-101/timeline-12-grade.
1-2. Discuss potential matches with your guidance counselor.
Ask your guidance counselor which colleges and universities match up with your academic performance and interests. They can offer an experienced perspective on which schools you should easily get into and which are more of a reach. If you’d like to pursue a particular field, they can also inform you about schools that offer strong degree programs in your chosen discipline.
Your guidance counselor is your point person throughout the application process. They help you narrow your list of prospective school, review your application materials, and ensure transcripts and other official documents are sent with your applications.
It’s best to give yourself plenty of time to put your applications together. Start narrowing your list of colleges junior year (or the third year of secondary school) and complete your applications during the first half of your last year in high school.
1-3. Reach out to a teacher or mentor if you don't have a guidance counselor.
If your school doesn't have a counselor, or if your counselor is overbooked, ask a trusted teacher for help. You could also talk to other mentor figures, such as a coach, club adviser, or a relative who has experience with the application process.
Try not to worry if your counselor is unavailable or if your school doesn't have one. There's plenty of great information available online, and a trusted teacher or other mentor can help you navigate the process.
If you're an adult returning to school and don't have access to a school counselor, reach out to potential colleges for guidance. Ask about the application process for non-traditional students. Instead of sending high school transcripts, you may be able to take a placement exam or receive course credit for prior work or military experience.
1-4. Research schools’ admissions standards and requirements.
Take advantage of admissions websites and college review sites, where you can learn all about potential schools. Look for colleges and universities that have features that appeal to you, such as degree programs, cost, class size, and location.
Many college review sites compile lists of colleges that you can browse. They break down how hard it is to get into a school, what kind of SAT or ACT score you need, tuition cost, what campus life is like, and how many alumni get jobs after graduating.
You can find plenty of information on schools’ websites, but you could also ask colleges and universities to send you information packets. Check out admissions websites and look for “request information” links.
1-5. Visit colleges to get a sense of what campus life is like.
Researching schools online is one thing, but experiencing campus life firsthand is invaluable. If possible, schedule tours with prospective schools. You may also be able to stay overnight with a first-year student and get a feel for what it’s like to live in a dorm. If you have a friend who attends a college you’re interested in, ask them to show you around the campus.
As you tour potential schools, ask yourself what type of school and surrounding location would be most comfortable. Try to imagine what it would be like to be a student at each school you visit, and ask yourself, “Can I imagine myself being happy and successful here?”
If, for instance, you want to experience urban life, look for schools located in bustling cities. Look for colleges off the beaten path if you want a less hectic environment.
Some universities are enormous, with 30,000 students or more. If smaller class size is important to you, look for liberal arts colleges, which may have just a few hundred students enrolled.
1-6. Look for nearby or online universities if you want to stay local.
Look into nearby colleges and universities if you have a job you don't want to leave or just want to stay close to home. An online degree program could also be a great option, especially if you're returning to school.
In the United States, lower tuition cost is one major perk of in-state public colleges and universities.
Talk to your family about the pros and cons of moving away versus staying local. Discuss costs, responsibilities that require you to stay close to home, and other logistics.
1-7. Narrow your list down to 5-10 schools.
Choose 1 to 2 safety schools, which you and your guidance counselor are sure you’ll get into, and 2 to 4 good matches where you think you’ll have a strong chance of being admitted. Additionally, select 1 to 2 reaches, or colleges where getting in isn’t a sure thing, but it’s realistic enough to be worth applying.
Try to come up with a list of colleges for each category by autumn of your last year in high school at the latest.
Keep in mind each school has an application fee, so don’t apply to a college just for the sake of it. If paying application fees is an issue, ask your guidance counselor to help you request fee waivers from potential colleges.
2. Assembling Required Documents
2-1. Create a to-do list to stay organized.
Early in your senior year, write down all of the application requirements for each of your potential schools. Create a master checklist with the requirements and deadlines for each college. In addition, keep all the documents you compile for each application in individual digital folders on your computer.
Most likely, requirements will overlap, but there may be minor differences. One school, for instance, may require 3 letters of recommendation while the others specify 2.
Colleges usually prefer online applications. However, if you’d rather submit paper applications, or if a school happens to request hard copies of documents, keep them organized in paper folders.
2-2. Send your high school transcripts to potential schools.
Colleges and universities require official transcripts, which usually need to be sent by an administrator at your high school. Policies vary, but guidance counselors often arrange for transcripts to be sent to potential colleges. Check schools’ admissions websites for specifics on the submission process.
You may need to download a transcript request form from a school’s website and give it to your guidance counselor. Alternatively, your guidance counselor or school administrator may only need to mail or upload your transcript.
Your transcripts will only show your grades up to the last full term you completed. However, your high school will send a final transcript to your college of choice, so keeping your grades up is still important. Don’t slack off the rest of your senior year!
If you're returning to school as an adult, ask schools' admissions programs to help guide you through the application process. In lieu of transcripts, you may be able to take a standardized test or ask schools to take your work experience into consideration.
2-3. Write application essays
Writing a college application essay may seem daunting, but try to see it as a fun opportunity to express yourself. Review the requirements for each school; your essay may be open ended, or you may be asked to respond to a specific prompt. You’ll probably be limited to 1 page or less, so focus on a specific topic that helps you stand out from the crowd.
For instance, you could write about an obstacle you overcame or a trip that changed your view of the world. Just keep in mind the most important thing to be authentic and offer insight into who you are as a person.
Keep in mind you may need to write multiple essays in response to each application's prompt.
2-4. Ask 2 to 3 teachers to write letters of recommendation.
Choose references who know you well and can clearly communicate your talents. Teachers are usually the best bet, but a reference could also be another mentor, such as your boss. Some schools also ask that your guidance counselor submit a letter of recommendation.
Give your references plenty of notice; at least 2 months is ideal. Be sure to check college admissions websites for specific requirements. If necessary, download and print recommendation forms and give them to your references.
It’s also a good idea to give your references a list of your credentials and activities, just to make sure they have a big picture view of you outside of the classroom.
2-5. Send your standardized test scores to prospective colleges.
If possible, take the SAT, ACT, or standardized test for your nation more than once. Specific steps to submitting score reports to schools vary by test. In general, you’ll just need to enter your potential colleges’ ID codes on the test administrator’s website.
In the United States, many schools no longer require standardized test scores. A few won’t even consider SAT or ACT scores at all. However, there are plenty of colleges and universities that still place heavy emphasis on standardized tests, so don’t skip the SAT or ACT.
Additionally, depending on the school and degree program, you may need to submit subject test scores. For instance, a pre-med program may require SAT subject test scores in science.
2-6. Develop a portfolio if you’re applying for a creative degree.
You’ll probably need to submit a portfolio if you’re applying to art school or degree programs like fashion design, architecture, or theater. Review potential college’s portfolio requirements, and work with your art or design teachers to showcase your best work.
Your portfolio needs to be as professional as possible. Be sure to include high-resolution images of your work, as well as concise descriptions to set the context for each project.
Look for submission instructions on the website of your potential school or degree program. You’ll either submit a hard copy of your portfolio, upload a digital file through the website, or send a CD or thumb drive.
3. Submitting Your Application
3-1. Fill out application forms according to each college’s requirements.
While some schools have their own application forms and online portals, many participate in common application programs. For each application, enter your name, contact and personal information, activities, and other required details into the appropriate fields.
In the U.S., over 800 schools participate in the Common App program. For schools that accept the Common App, you just need to fill out 1 application form, and you and your guidance can upload your essay, transcript, and letters of recommendation directly onto the website at https://www.commonapp.org.
Outside of the U.S., many nations have 1 universal application that covers all universities. For instance, in the United Kingdom, you’d submit a UCAS application at https://www.ucas.com.
3-2. Include your required documents with your application.
If you’re using the Common App, you can simply upload your required documents through the program’s website. For schools that don’t take the Common App, you’ll most likely need to create an account on their website and upload your documents through their application server.
Recall that most schools now prefer online submissions. If you prefer to send hard copies and your potential schools accept paper applications, check their admissions websites for mailing addresses.
3-3. Pay each school’s application fee.
If you’re using the Common App (or another universal application service), log into the website, head to the “Review and Submit” section, and search for a potential school. When you submit your application to that school, you’ll be prompted to pay an application fee, which is typically between $30 and $90 (U.S.).
The payment process is similar if you’re applying to schools that don’t take the Common App.
The Common App only takes credit or bank cards. Schools that don’t accept the Common App may accept checks or bank transfers in addition to cards, so double check admissions websites for acceptable payment forms.
If application fees are outside of your budget, you can apply for fee waivers through schools' financial aid departments. Ask a parent for help submitting financial information with the waiver applications.
3-4. Confirm that colleges have received your materials after a month.
For both the Common App and schools with independent application portals, you should be able to log into the website and check your application’s status. Otherwise, stay on the safe side and call or email the admissions department to ensure they received all of your required documents.
Waiting is tough, but try to be patient! It usually takes about 2 or 3 months for a college to notify applicants whether or not they were accepted.
3-5. Start the financial aid application process after applying to schools.
If you live in the U.S., file your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after January 1 of your senior year. Your FAFSA determines how much federal financial aid you qualify for; schools that accept you will also let you know if they can offer scholarships, grants, or loans.
Once you know how you’ll finance your education, you can send a letter of acceptance to your chosen school and take the first steps toward your degree!
Tips
Remember that student loans incur interest, and you’ll be responsible to pay them back upon graduating. Do your best to earn your degree with as little debt as possible.
Start working on your applications early! Lots of colleges and universities have a rolling admissions system, which means if you apply earlier, you’re competing for more open seats and may have a better shot at being accepted.

However, if you’d rather submit paper applications, or if a school happens to request hard copies of documents, keep them organized in paper folders.\\n2-2. Send your high school transcripts to potential schools.\\nColleges and universities require official transcripts, which usually need to be sent by an administrator at your high school. Policies vary, but guidance counselors often arrange for transcripts to be sent to potential colleges. Check schools’ admissions websites for specifics on the submission process.\\nYou may need to download a transcript request form from a school’s website and give it to your guidance counselor. Alternatively, your guidance counselor or school administrator may only need to mail or upload your transcript.\\nYour transcripts will only show your grades up to the last full term you completed. However, your high school will send a final transcript to your college of choice, so keeping your grades up is still important. Don’t slack off the rest of your senior year!\\nIf you're returning to school as an adult, ask schools' admissions programs to help guide you through the application process. In lieu of transcripts, you may be able to take a standardized test or ask schools to take your work experience into consideration.\\n2-3. Write application essays\\nWriting a college application essay may seem daunting, but try to see it as a fun opportunity to express yourself. Review the requirements for each school; your essay may be open ended, or you may be asked to respond to a specific prompt. You’ll probably be limited to 1 page or less, so focus on a specific topic that helps you stand out from the crowd.\\nFor instance, you could write about an obstacle you overcame or a trip that changed your view of the world. Just keep in mind the most important thing to be authentic and offer insight into who you are as a person.\\nKeep in mind you may need to write multiple essays in response to each application's prompt.\\n2-4. Ask 2 to 3 teachers to write letters of recommendation.\\nChoose references who know you well and can clearly communicate your talents. Teachers are usually the best bet, but a reference could also be another mentor, such as your boss. Some schools also ask that your guidance counselor submit a letter of recommendation.\\nGive your references plenty of notice; at least 2 months is ideal. Be sure to check college admissions websites for specific requirements. If necessary, download and print recommendation forms and give them to your references.\\nIt’s also a good idea to give your references a list of your credentials and activities, just to make sure they have a big picture view of you outside of the classroom.\\n2-5. Send your standardized test scores to prospective colleges.\\nIf possible, take the SAT, ACT, or standardized test for your nation more than once. Specific steps to submitting score reports to schools vary by test. In general, you’ll just need to enter your potential colleges’ ID codes on the test administrator’s website.\\nIn the United States, many schools no longer require standardized test scores. A few won’t even consider SAT or ACT scores at all. However, there are plenty of colleges and universities that still place heavy emphasis on standardized tests, so don’t skip the SAT or ACT.\\nAdditionally, depending on the school and degree program, you may need to submit subject test scores. For instance, a pre-med program may require SAT subject test scores in science.\\n2-6. Develop a portfolio if you’re applying for a creative degree.\\nYou’ll probably need to submit a portfolio if you’re applying to art school or degree programs like fashion design, architecture, or theater. Review potential college’s portfolio requirements, and work with your art or design teachers to showcase your best work.\\nYour portfolio needs to be as professional as possible. Be sure to include high-resolution images of your work, as well as concise descriptions to set the context for each project.\\nLook for submission instructions on the website of your potential school or degree program. You’ll either submit a hard copy of your portfolio, upload a digital file through the website, or send a CD or thumb drive.\\n3. Submitting Your Application\\n3-1. Fill out application forms according to each college’s requirements.\\nWhile some schools have their own application forms and online portals, many participate in common application programs. For each application, enter your name, contact and personal information, activities, and other required details into the appropriate fields.\\nIn the U.S., over 800 schools participate in the Common App program. For schools that accept the Common App, you just need to fill out 1 application form, and you and your guidance can upload your essay, transcript, and letters of recommendation directly onto the website at https://www.commonapp.org.\\nOutside of the U.S., many nations have 1 universal application that covers all universities. For instance, in the United Kingdom, you’d submit a UCAS application at https://www.ucas.com.\\n3-2. Include your required documents with your application.\\nIf you’re using the Common App, you can simply upload your required documents through the program’s website. For schools that don’t take the Common App, you’ll most likely need to create an account on their website and upload your documents through their application server.\\nRecall that most schools now prefer online submissions. If you prefer to send hard copies and your potential schools accept paper applications, check their admissions websites for mailing addresses.\\n3-3. Pay each school’s application fee.\\nIf you’re using the Common App (or another universal application service), log into the website, head to the “Review and Submit” section, and search for a potential school. When you submit your application to that school, you’ll be prompted to pay an application fee, which is typically between $30 and $90 (U.S.).\\nThe payment process is similar if you’re applying to schools that don’t take the Common App.\\nThe Common App only takes credit or bank cards. Schools that don’t accept the Common App may accept checks or bank transfers in addition to cards, so double check admissions websites for acceptable payment forms.\\nIf application fees are outside of your budget, you can apply for fee waivers through schools' financial aid departments. Ask a parent for help submitting financial information with the waiver applications.\\n3-4. Confirm that colleges have received your materials after a month.\\nFor both the Common App and schools with independent application portals, you should be able to log into the website and check your application’s status. Otherwise, stay on the safe side and call or email the admissions department to ensure they received all of your required documents.\\nWaiting is tough, but try to be patient! It usually takes about 2 or 3 months for a college to notify applicants whether or not they were accepted.\\n3-5. Start the financial aid application process after applying to schools.\\nIf you live in the U.S., file your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after January 1 of your senior year. Your FAFSA determines how much federal financial aid you qualify for; schools that accept you will also let you know if they can offer scholarships, grants, or loans.\\nOnce you know how you’ll finance your education, you can send a letter of acceptance to your chosen school and take the first steps toward your degree!\\nTips\\nRemember that student loans incur interest, and you’ll be responsible to pay them back upon graduating. Do your best to earn your degree with as little debt as possible.\\nStart working on your applications early! Lots of colleges and universities have a rolling admissions system, which means if you apply earlier, you’re competing for more open seats and may have a better shot at being accepted.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Applying to college can be a stressful process, but starting early, careful planning, and staying organized will make things much easier.

2,267 | How to Apply to Modeling Agencies | 1. Creating a Portfolio
1-1. Use amateur photos.
It's really not worth the extra cost to get professional pics done. Get a friend or relative with a smart phone or standalone camera and let them take a number of photos of you. It's best to keep the setting fairly basic with a single-color backdrop, almost like a passport photo.
Pose for a large number of shots, at least twenty, so that you'll have plenty to choose from. Out of these photos, you'll need to select between six to twenty images to include in your final portfolio. You'll need a wide range of photos, including at least one head shot.
Avoid having anything distracting in the background of your photos, such as random household objects. For example, it's better to stand in front of a blank wall instead of one filled with framed portraits.
If you've done professional freelance modeling work in the past, you may need to get permission from the photographer or client to use these photos. Once you have this permission, go ahead and include those shots in your portfolio.
1-2. Attach a video.
If you plan to send in your portfolio electronically, it's a good idea to include a sixty-second video. In the video, quickly introduce yourself and discuss your modeling background. Zoom the camera out, so that the scouts will be able to see your body. Try not to put on a show and just behave naturally.
1-3. Keep all photos recent and accurate.
Your photos don't need to be from the past six months, but they should accurately reflect your current appearance. If you've lost or gained more than a few pounds, then get another set of photos done. Make sure to include photos that reflect the current length of your hair as well.
1-4. Include only high-quality photos.
The pics should be clear and crisp without any blurriness. The shading and lighting should draw attention to your best attributes and minimize any flaws. Any colors should appear vibrant and bright.
Get your photos printed on good photo paper as well. It's probably best to take them to a photo shop to be printed, instead of doing it at home.
If your portfolio is digital, you can maximize photo quality by using a camera set to the highest pixel level with the least compression. You can also spend some time editing your images using professional software, such as Photoshop.
1-5. Include some headshots.
Most agencies will want to see close photos of your face taken from a number of angles. This is especially important for print or fashion models. Keep any make-up very minimal for these shots, so that the recruiters can see the quality of your skin. Vary your expressions and smile in at least one shot.
A good general rule is to include more smiling shots if you are looking for commercial work.
Use the least amount of make-up that you are comfortable with. This could mean just applying a bit of concealer, light powder, mascara, or lipstick. The recruiters will want to see the condition of your skin.
Wear your hair down in your headshot.
1-6. Put in at least one full-body shot.
For these images, choose clothes that show off your body's best attributes. If you are aiming for a high-fashion agency, then a shot in swimwear can also be useful. As you choose outfits, think about how your choices will let recruiters see how clothing fits you.
Again, don't feel as if you have to wear super fancy or high-fashion outfits in every shot. It's better to keep it basic, so recruiters can see your potential. Go with solid colors and simple prints. Only wear one 'statement' item at a time, such as a unique piece of jewelry.
For example, if you are apple-shaped, then draw attention upwards by wearing an interesting necklace or turtleneck. Or, if you have an hourglass figure, cinch in your waist with a fashionable belt.
Try to keep your pictures simple. For example, a simple photo could be a photo of you with no filters in good lighting.
2. Submitting Your Application
2-1. Target a market that fits your look.
Consider your body type, physical appearance, and interests as you choose what type of modeling to pursue. High-fashion models, for example, are often tall and lean. Athletic models are generally muscular.
2-2. Find reputable agencies.
Go online to the websites of the various agencies and look at their current model rosters. See if you can envision yourself working alongside them. Check to see that the agency has been in business for at least ten years. Research their client lists to see if they cater to companies that interest you.
Agencies of all sizes are usually actively recruiting for new models throughout the year. If you work with a smaller agency, you may get more personal attention. But, a larger agency may be able to provide more consistent work.
2-3. Look up agency submission details.
Go to the agency's website and read through their submission guidelines. Some agencies require that you mail all materials in, whereas others give you an electronic submission option. Follow all of their directions down to the last detail. If they ask for a certain size image, then make sure to send it along.
2-4. Type up a stats page.
This is a page that includes all of your measurements, such as height, weight, bust, hips, waist, cup, dress, shoes, suit size, and inseam. Many models also list their hair and eye color as well. It's a good idea to place your name in bold at the very top. You could also include a small headshot image in an upper corner.
2-5. Send all of your materials in one package.
In your portfolio, include a brief cover letter of introduction, your professional resume, your stats page, and all of your photos. Organize your photos so that the best one appears first. Place these items in a slim, secure binder.
Do not include all of your rejected or “extra” images within your binder.
Keep your cover letter short and to the point. Introduce yourself, explain your interest in modeling, and tell them what you've sent along. For example, you might write, “I started my freelance modeling career at the age of six, but would like the consistency of working with an agency.”
2-6. Schedule an in-person interview.
If the agency looks through your portfolio and is interested, then they will likely call you with the offer of an in-person interview. That is why it's best to apply to agencies locally unless you are willing to travel. For most interviews, you'll simply talk to a representative for thirty minutes to an hour, but they may also want some test shots.
3. Finding Modeling Work in Other Ways
3-1. Build up your online following.
Social media is a very important tool that you can use to show off your relevance and popularity. After you've applied to agencies, focus some of your energies on going to local modeling events, making friends, and then connecting with those friends online. Post interesting photos of yourself on Instagram and you might even draw additional agency interest.
Create additional connections by commenting on the posts of other models and responding to comments posted on your page.
Social media is a popular place to get scouted.
3-2. Go to an open casting call.
Check agency websites for the details of open casting listings. This is where you'll bring your portfolio and wait with many other aspiring models to talk with casting agents. The agents will conduct a brief interview, snap a few photos, and get in touch if they are interested.
This is a great opportunity to give casting agents a taste of your unique personality and to make a memorable impression. For example, you might show them a (flattering) photo from one of your recent hiking adventures.
Aside from your full portfolio, it can be helpful to create a laminated composite card to hand out. This card will contain a small photo, your name and contact information, and your relevant stats.
3-3. Join a modeling club.
Many large universities and cities have clubs that aspiring models can join, usually for a small fee. These clubs spread the word about opportunities and are a great way to learn more about particular agencies and the industry on the whole. If you are a younger model, you might also find a mentor within a club.
Some modeling clubs are simply informational, whereas others may hold public fashion shows and practice shoots.
3-4. Beware of potential scams.
There are a number of dishonest people and companies preying on hopeful models. Watch out for modeling schools or agencies that request a payment in advance. An agency's fees should generally only occur when you are working. Also, steer clear of any persons or companies that request risqué or nude photos, as this is not the policy of established agencies.
Tips
Trust that they will contact you if they are interested in working with you. Once you've sent off your portfolios, try not to worry about that step anymore.[21]
X
Research source
Be enthusiastic and excited about the industry overall. Keep reminding yourself why you wanted to get started modeling in the first place.
Warnings
Be very hesitant when signing with an agency before meeting them in person. Most real agencies require an in-person interview.
When you first get started, you may get some gigs that don't seem to fit you perfectly. Try to stay positive, especially when shooting, and you'll hopefully see an improvement soon.

Only wear one 'statement' item at a time, such as a unique piece of jewelry.\\nFor example, if you are apple-shaped, then draw attention upwards by wearing an interesting necklace or turtleneck. Or, if you have an hourglass figure, cinch in your waist with a fashionable belt.\\nTry to keep your pictures simple. For example, a simple photo could be a photo of you with no filters in good lighting.\\n2. Submitting Your Application\\n2-1. Target a market that fits your look.\\nConsider your body type, physical appearance, and interests as you choose what type of modeling to pursue. High-fashion models, for example, are often tall and lean. Athletic models are generally muscular.\\n2-2. Find reputable agencies.\\nGo online to the websites of the various agencies and look at their current model rosters. See if you can envision yourself working alongside them. Check to see that the agency has been in business for at least ten years. Research their client lists to see if they cater to companies that interest you.\\nAgencies of all sizes are usually actively recruiting for new models throughout the year. If you work with a smaller agency, you may get more personal attention. But, a larger agency may be able to provide more consistent work.\\n2-3. Look up agency submission details.\\nGo to the agency's website and read through their submission guidelines. Some agencies require that you mail all materials in, whereas others give you an electronic submission option. Follow all of their directions down to the last detail. If they ask for a certain size image, then make sure to send it along.\\n2-4. Type up a stats page.\\nThis is a page that includes all of your measurements, such as height, weight, bust, hips, waist, cup, dress, shoes, suit size, and inseam. Many models also list their hair and eye color as well. It's a good idea to place your name in bold at the very top. You could also include a small headshot image in an upper corner.\\n2-5. Send all of your materials in one package.\\nIn your portfolio, include a brief cover letter of introduction, your professional resume, your stats page, and all of your photos. Organize your photos so that the best one appears first. Place these items in a slim, secure binder.\\nDo not include all of your rejected or “extra” images within your binder.\\nKeep your cover letter short and to the point. Introduce yourself, explain your interest in modeling, and tell them what you've sent along. For example, you might write, “I started my freelance modeling career at the age of six, but would like the consistency of working with an agency.”\\n2-6. Schedule an in-person interview.\\nIf the agency looks through your portfolio and is interested, then they will likely call you with the offer of an in-person interview. That is why it's best to apply to agencies locally unless you are willing to travel. For most interviews, you'll simply talk to a representative for thirty minutes to an hour, but they may also want some test shots.\\n3. Finding Modeling Work in Other Ways\\n3-1. Build up your online following.\\nSocial media is a very important tool that you can use to show off your relevance and popularity. After you've applied to agencies, focus some of your energies on going to local modeling events, making friends, and then connecting with those friends online. Post interesting photos of yourself on Instagram and you might even draw additional agency interest.\\nCreate additional connections by commenting on the posts of other models and responding to comments posted on your page.\\nSocial media is a popular place to get scouted.\\n3-2. Go to an open casting call.\\nCheck agency websites for the details of open casting listings. This is where you'll bring your portfolio and wait with many other aspiring models to talk with casting agents. The agents will conduct a brief interview, snap a few photos, and get in touch if they are interested.\\nThis is a great opportunity to give casting agents a taste of your unique personality and to make a memorable impression. For example, you might show them a (flattering) photo from one of your recent hiking adventures.\\nAside from your full portfolio, it can be helpful to create a laminated composite card to hand out. This card will contain a small photo, your name and contact information, and your relevant stats.\\n3-3. Join a modeling club.\\nMany large universities and cities have clubs that aspiring models can join, usually for a small fee. These clubs spread the word about opportunities and are a great way to learn more about particular agencies and the industry on the whole. If you are a younger model, you might also find a mentor within a club.\\nSome modeling clubs are simply informational, whereas others may hold public fashion shows and practice shoots.\\n3-4. Beware of potential scams.\\nThere are a number of dishonest people and companies preying on hopeful models. Watch out for modeling schools or agencies that request a payment in advance. An agency's fees should generally only occur when you are working. Also, steer clear of any persons or companies that request risqué or nude photos, as this is not the policy of established agencies.\\nTips\\nTrust that they will contact you if they are interested in working with you. Once you've sent off your portfolios, try not to worry about that step anymore.[21]\\nX\\nResearch source\\nBe enthusiastic and excited about the industry overall. Keep reminding yourself why you wanted to get started modeling in the first place.\\nWarnings\\nBe very hesitant when signing with an agency before meeting them in person. Most real agencies require an in-person interview.\\nWhen you first get started, you may get some gigs that don't seem to fit you perfectly. Try to stay positive, especially when shooting, and you'll hopefully see an improvement soon.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Freelance models can have solid careers, but signing with an agency gives you even more stability and access to castings. Get the attention of an established agency by sending in your full modeling portfolio. This “book” should include your best photos along with some general background information.

2,268 | How to Apply to Private High Schools | 1. Increasing Your Chances of Getting into a Private High School
1-1. Keep your grades on top.
8th grade the time to slack off! You could technically slack off a bit in 5th or 6th grade, but you should start improving it in 7th grade, as high school is nearing. In 8th grade, you'll need a sleek, polished report card. Private high schools will check your qualities your GPA (grade point average), so now is the time to improve it or keep your grades up. If you have a low GPA, not as many high schools will accept you, reducing the number of choices you have.
To strengthen your application, focus on your grades in school.
Study for tests as usual, take excellent notes, pay attention in class, participate by raising your hand, and follow the rules.
Earn at least an 85% or above on most assignments, projects, and tests. One 70% or C is alright, although you should try to keep your grades up as much as possible.
If you need help, you should ask for it. If you understand everything, you will know how to answer questions on tests, leading to a nice grade book. If you do not understand a concept, always ask a teacher during class or during office hours.
1-2. Attend clubs and extra-curriculars.
Private high schools in the U.S. don't only care about the amazing grades you get; they also care about your involvement in the school and outside of it. So, getting straight As doesn't guarantee being accepted into a private high school. This means that you should join a few clubs, extracurriculars, or volunteering services. They want to see the interest you have in helping others and doing other activities in your wider community.
Focus on extracurricular activities.
Some schools allow 8th graders to mentor younger middle school students (in academics or in clubs). You could help teach/mentor the 7th, 6th, (and sometimes 5th) graders in your middle school for one example of a contribution to your school.
Of course, if you are already very busy, you do not need to overexert yourself and attend extra clubs and activities.
1-3. Make your reputation outstanding.
If you arrive 15 to 20 minutes late to classes, cheat on tests, copy answers from another student's assignment, talk frequently or zone out a lot during class, or bully others at school, your reputation will degrade. After many instances of this happening, your middle school likely has a bad record of the things you've done. You may get sent to the principal's office, have a parent-teacher conference about your behavior, or worst of all, be suspended or expelled from the school. If you have a bad record already, do your best to improve it by changing your behavior.
Do not talk during class (especially if you're the oldest in your school or if you're on the student council, as you want to be a role model), tell offensive "jokes", do random things unrelated to class in class, bully other students, zone out too often, or arrive late at school.
You can do extra by participating in class often and helping other students out! This makes your recommendation letters stand out from the rest and will increase your chances of attending the private high school of your dreams.
2. Applying to Private High Schools
2-1. Ask your older sibling/s for advice.
If you have one or more older siblings, chances are that they may have applied to the same high schools as you. This means that they have gone through the same challenges and obstacles of applying to private high schools. Your older sibling may be in high school or even be in their first year of university already, living outside of your home for the first time. Whatever age your older sibling is, ask them for advice about applying to private high schools. Ask them questions about which schools they applied to (you may have overheard the high schools your sibling was applying to when you were in early middle school or elementary school), how they crafted their essays, and how they asked for recommendation letters.
If your older sibling has gone to college, they may not have that much time to answer your concerns and questions about going to high school. Schedule a call when you can (around the weekends is best) and use that call for your sibling to answer your questions about applying to private high schools.
2-2. Ask your parents/guardians for advice too.
Your parents may have applied to private high schools in their generation too, so you could ask them a couple of questions as well. If your parents have you as their middle or youngest child, they have already gone through the process of their older child/children applying to private high schools, so they are probably experienced in this field.
They may have applied for private high schools themselves, so you can ask them a few questions and concerns you have.
2-3. Research private high schools in your area.
There are a multitude of private high schools; some are religious, some are single-ed, and others tailor to students' needs differently. You will need to decide on a couple of schools to apply to. Do not just apply to one, as you will not be guaranteed to attend that school if they do not accept your application. This leaves you with no options open (as the deadline for applying to other private high schools may have passed). Find online reviews of the schools your child is applying to on sites like GreatSchools.org to see if the school has an excellent reputation. Think about your values and if the school aligns with them. Some questions you may ask you and your child include:
Is it a religious high school?
Are uniforms required?
How many modes of transportation to and from the school are there? (e.g. by school bus, by car, on foot, on bike)
How many language AP courses are offered?
What is the curriculum taught for mathematics?
What colleges do graduates from this school get accepted to?
How many clubs are there?
Does the school offer a variety of sports? (e.g. football, basketball, volleyball, soccer, track-and-field, swimming, competitive dance)
2-4. Attend open houses and tours of the high schools.
The tours usually explain the curriculum, clubs, student life, and other things related to the high schools. You will be shown around the school, while the principal or students explain how the school works. The principal or head of school may give a speech during the open house. If many of your friends are applying to the same schools as you, you might even meet them at the open house. You guys can talk about how the open house went. The staff may give you a folder full of information about that high school, like courses, student life, colleges students get accepted to, and contact information.
During the open house, grab some food! Some schools may offer the most delicious cookies, whereas some may offer fruit and other drinks. Food is usually offered at open houses of schools.
If you are accepted to a school you've toured before, it will be harder to get lost on the first day, since you've seen an overall outline of the school.
2-5. Shadow in the private high schools you are applying to.
Shadowing is the process of going to a place temporarily to experience what it is like there. Elementary and middle schools may allow new kids to shadow for a day to see if the school's a right fit. Private high schools offer the same thing. Go to the private schools' websites and check for information on shadow days. You can schedule one on the school's website, or you may have to call the school to request a shadow day. Shadow days usually last for half a day or a little more than that, so you may return during lunch at your middle school or during the last few classes when you come back.
Make sure to email the teachers whose classes you'll be missing before the shadow day!
Shadowing lets you actually experience what the teachers and students are like. You can usually take to the students with any questions or concerns about the school. There may be one student taking you to a variety of different classes, or you could be allowed to "roam around" the campus, exploring the different classes, lunchtime environment, and clubs.
2-6. Obtain recommendation letters from your teachers.
Recommendation letters are basically Q&A sheets that explain why you are fit to attend the private high school of your choice. You will need to request your teacher to fill out a recommendation letter for each high school that you apply to. The recommendation letters have questions such as the level of participation in middle school, study skills, cooperation skills, how you contribute to the middle school, and the extracurriculars you attend. There will also be a section on challenges you may face that prevent you from doing your best in middle school (e.g., divorce, a sibling going to college, a death in the family, friendship/relationship issues, bullying, health problems, stress).
At the very least, private high schools will want you to get recommendation letters from your math and language arts teachers. "Extra" recommendation letters are not needed, so you don't need to ask for one from your science, history, or other subjects' teachers.
2-7. Take the High School Placement Test, or HSPT.
The HSPT is a placement test that is required in most Catholic private high schools. If you are applying to one or more Catholic high schools, you will need to take this test. You are tested on subjects such as mathematics, quantitative skills, reading, and verbal reasoning. There are no other subjects like science, foreign languages, or history/social studies on these tests, so you will not need to prepare for these subjects. The test is taken at one of the private high schools you are applying to, so you should decide which school you're taking the test at.
You are not allowed to take the test more than one time, so check your work and read carefully through the questions. Take your time and do not rush. This test is - it decides whether or not you will be accepted into the Catholic high school, so be circumspect about it.
You will only need to take the HSPT once. You don't need to take it for every Catholic high school you're applying to. The other high schools you're applying to will receive your grade on the test from the high school you took it at, so you don't have to take the test multiple times.
2-8. Write private high school application essays.
This will be quite similar to a college/university application essay. When you're in 12th grade and will need to write a college application essay, you may find it easier, as you've done this before in 8th/9th grade (and it's just a refresher). People who have attended a public high school (or a public middle or elementary school) may find the application process more stressful, as they have not done extra work to get into a school before. Some schools may ask you many questions and require only a paragraph for each question, whereas others want you to answer 1-2 prompts in more detail. Some schools may want you to write about what draws you to their campus, while others want things more about you.
Proofread carefully. Not proofreading your essay may make you seem unprofessional or uninterested in making any effort of applying to a private high school, which decreases your chances of getting into one.
You may want to ask your language arts teacher for help during office hours if you are unsure of how to write a private high school essay.
Take the time to personalize your application essay.
2-9. Turn everything in before the due date.
The admissions, recommendation letters, shadow dates, and application essays all have due dates and deadlines that you will need to meet. Recommendation letters and shadow dates are usually due in late October-early December, as the exact date varies from school to school. Admissions are usually due in early January. Make sure to turn in everything and email everything before the due date! After the deadlines, you will not be able to apply for a private high school, so be wary of them.
Start doing all of this in August-October. This way, you will not need to rush to turn everything in.
2-10. Attend a private high school interview.
Not all, but some private high schools require you to be interviewed. Some only interview the student, but some interview the student and the guardians of the student. These interviews are usually scheduled in January-February (after winter break/vacation). You will arrive at the school, sit in a room, and be asked questions by a student at the school or the head of school. The interview will be formal, so do not arrive at the interview wearing a T-shirt and jeans. The interview takes into consideration what your personality is like and how you will act at the school, so if you are rude during the interview or seem uninterested (continually yawning, stretching, not answering questions, interrupting, or giving short answers to interview questions), the admissions team may not accept you into their school.
Commonly asked questions include, "What draws you to this school?", "Do you have siblings that attend our school?", "What are your strengths?", "What pastimes do you have?", "What is your favorite subject in school?", and "What is your family like?"
Wear semi-formal clothing to the interview. Wear a polo shirt and trousers for a simple look. Another possibility could be wearing a white shirt with a coat jacket and trousers. A more feminine look would be a blouse and a knee-length skirt or even a pastel-colored dress.
Do not wear overly bright colors, as that is not formal. Avoid overly revealing clothing, clothing with swear words, or otherwise inappropriate and informal clothing.
Tips
Apply to at least 3 private high schools. If you don't get accepted into 2, one may still accept you. If you only apply to 1 or 2, there is a chance that those high schools will not accept you in.
Talk to your older siblings and guardians for advice and help on which private schools are the best fit for you.
If you only have younger siblings or are an only child, you may feel like you are the first person to think about private high schools, as you have no older siblings with more experience to talk to. This could make you feel stressed and isolated, as younger siblings don't understand the high school process yet. If you're an only child, you have no one in your immediate family to talk to about your concerns. You can always talk to an older relative (whether that's an older cousin, aunt, uncle, parent, etc.) about the private high school process if that's something they're knowledgeable in.

Ask your parents/guardians for advice too.\\nYour parents may have applied to private high schools in their generation too, so you could ask them a couple of questions as well. If your parents have you as their middle or youngest child, they have already gone through the process of their older child/children applying to private high schools, so they are probably experienced in this field.\\nThey may have applied for private high schools themselves, so you can ask them a few questions and concerns you have.\\n2-3. Research private high schools in your area.\\nThere are a multitude of private high schools; some are religious, some are single-ed, and others tailor to students' needs differently. You will need to decide on a couple of schools to apply to. Do not just apply to one, as you will not be guaranteed to attend that school if they do not accept your application. This leaves you with no options open (as the deadline for applying to other private high schools may have passed). Find online reviews of the schools your child is applying to on sites like GreatSchools.org to see if the school has an excellent reputation. Think about your values and if the school aligns with them. Some questions you may ask you and your child include:\\nIs it a religious high school?\\nAre uniforms required?\\nHow many modes of transportation to and from the school are there? (e.g. by school bus, by car, on foot, on bike)\\nHow many language AP courses are offered?\\nWhat is the curriculum taught for mathematics?\\nWhat colleges do graduates from this school get accepted to?\\nHow many clubs are there?\\nDoes the school offer a variety of sports? (e.g. football, basketball, volleyball, soccer, track-and-field, swimming, competitive dance)\\n2-4. Attend open houses and tours of the high schools.\\nThe tours usually explain the curriculum, clubs, student life, and other things related to the high schools. You will be shown around the school, while the principal or students explain how the school works. The principal or head of school may give a speech during the open house. If many of your friends are applying to the same schools as you, you might even meet them at the open house. You guys can talk about how the open house went. The staff may give you a folder full of information about that high school, like courses, student life, colleges students get accepted to, and contact information.\\nDuring the open house, grab some food! Some schools may offer the most delicious cookies, whereas some may offer fruit and other drinks. Food is usually offered at open houses of schools.\\nIf you are accepted to a school you've toured before, it will be harder to get lost on the first day, since you've seen an overall outline of the school.\\n2-5. Shadow in the private high schools you are applying to.\\nShadowing is the process of going to a place temporarily to experience what it is like there. Elementary and middle schools may allow new kids to shadow for a day to see if the school's a right fit. Private high schools offer the same thing. Go to the private schools' websites and check for information on shadow days. You can schedule one on the school's website, or you may have to call the school to request a shadow day. Shadow days usually last for half a day or a little more than that, so you may return during lunch at your middle school or during the last few classes when you come back.\\nMake sure to email the teachers whose classes you'll be missing before the shadow day!\\nShadowing lets you actually experience what the teachers and students are like. You can usually take to the students with any questions or concerns about the school. There may be one student taking you to a variety of different classes, or you could be allowed to \\\"roam around\\\" the campus, exploring the different classes, lunchtime environment, and clubs.\\n2-6. Obtain recommendation letters from your teachers.\\nRecommendation letters are basically Q&A sheets that explain why you are fit to attend the private high school of your choice. You will need to request your teacher to fill out a recommendation letter for each high school that you apply to. The recommendation letters have questions such as the level of participation in middle school, study skills, cooperation skills, how you contribute to the middle school, and the extracurriculars you attend. There will also be a section on challenges you may face that prevent you from doing your best in middle school (e.g., divorce, a sibling going to college, a death in the family, friendship/relationship issues, bullying, health problems, stress).\\nAt the very least, private high schools will want you to get recommendation letters from your math and language arts teachers. \\\"Extra\\\" recommendation letters are not needed, so you don't need to ask for one from your science, history, or other subjects' teachers.\\n2-7. Take the High School Placement Test, or HSPT.\\nThe HSPT is a placement test that is required in most Catholic private high schools. If you are applying to one or more Catholic high schools, you will need to take this test. You are tested on subjects such as mathematics, quantitative skills, reading, and verbal reasoning. There are no other subjects like science, foreign languages, or history/social studies on these tests, so you will not need to prepare for these subjects. The test is taken at one of the private high schools you are applying to, so you should decide which school you're taking the test at. \\nYou are not allowed to take the test more than one time, so check your work and read carefully through the questions. Take your time and do not rush. This test is - it decides whether or not you will be accepted into the Catholic high school, so be circumspect about it.\\nYou will only need to take the HSPT once. You don't need to take it for every Catholic high school you're applying to. The other high schools you're applying to will receive your grade on the test from the high school you took it at, so you don't have to take the test multiple times.\\n2-8. Write private high school application essays.\\nThis will be quite similar to a college/university application essay. When you're in 12th grade and will need to write a college application essay, you may find it easier, as you've done this before in 8th/9th grade (and it's just a refresher). People who have attended a public high school (or a public middle or elementary school) may find the application process more stressful, as they have not done extra work to get into a school before. Some schools may ask you many questions and require only a paragraph for each question, whereas others want you to answer 1-2 prompts in more detail. Some schools may want you to write about what draws you to their campus, while others want things more about you. \\nProofread carefully. Not proofreading your essay may make you seem unprofessional or uninterested in making any effort of applying to a private high school, which decreases your chances of getting into one.\\nYou may want to ask your language arts teacher for help during office hours if you are unsure of how to write a private high school essay.\\nTake the time to personalize your application essay.\\n2-9. Turn everything in before the due date.\\nThe admissions, recommendation letters, shadow dates, and application essays all have due dates and deadlines that you will need to meet. Recommendation letters and shadow dates are usually due in late October-early December, as the exact date varies from school to school. Admissions are usually due in early January. Make sure to turn in everything and email everything before the due date! After the deadlines, you will not be able to apply for a private high school, so be wary of them.\\nStart doing all of this in August-October. This way, you will not need to rush to turn everything in.\\n2-10. Attend a private high school interview.\\nNot all, but some private high schools require you to be interviewed. Some only interview the student, but some interview the student and the guardians of the student. These interviews are usually scheduled in January-February (after winter break/vacation). You will arrive at the school, sit in a room, and be asked questions by a student at the school or the head of school. The interview will be formal, so do not arrive at the interview wearing a T-shirt and jeans. The interview takes into consideration what your personality is like and how you will act at the school, so if you are rude during the interview or seem uninterested (continually yawning, stretching, not answering questions, interrupting, or giving short answers to interview questions), the admissions team may not accept you into their school.\\nCommonly asked questions include, \\\"What draws you to this school?\\\", \\\"Do you have siblings that attend our school?\\\", \\\"What are your strengths?\\\", \\\"What pastimes do you have?\\\", \\\"What is your favorite subject in school?\\\", and \\\"What is your family like?\\\" \\nWear semi-formal clothing to the interview. Wear a polo shirt and trousers for a simple look. Another possibility could be wearing a white shirt with a coat jacket and trousers. A more feminine look would be a blouse and a knee-length skirt or even a pastel-colored dress.\\nDo not wear overly bright colors, as that is not formal. Avoid overly revealing clothing, clothing with swear words, or otherwise inappropriate and informal clothing.\\nTips\\nApply to at least 3 private high schools. If you don't get accepted into 2, one may still accept you. If you only apply to 1 or 2, there is a chance that those high schools will not accept you in.\\nTalk to your older siblings and guardians for advice and help on which private schools are the best fit for you.\\nIf you only have younger siblings or are an only child, you may feel like you are the first person to think about private high schools, as you have no older siblings with more experience to talk to. This could make you feel stressed and isolated, as younger siblings don't understand the high school process yet. If you're an only child, you have no one in your immediate family to talk to about your concerns. You can always talk to an older relative (whether that's an older cousin, aunt, uncle, parent, etc.) about the private high school process if that's something they're knowledgeable in.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"If you're in a private middle school currently, there is a fair chance you're thinking of attending a private high school. Most of your friends in your private middle school will likely be attending a private high school. This is even more true for the people who have attended private schools since elementary school. Unlike a public high school, where you don't have to do anything special to get in, private high schools in the U.S. require more effort to be accepted.

1-4. Include extracurriculars and community service to help you get in.
In addition to your academic performance, U of T will also consider other credentials, so put them on your application. This might include school clubs, sports, after school activities, and volunteering. Incorporate these activities into your application to increase your chances of gaining acceptance.
It's helpful to write an academic resume that includes these activities, as well as important classes you've taken. You'll be able to upload your academic resume as part of the application.
2. Submitting Your Application
2-1. Send your application prior to the deadline of January 15.
The deadlines vary depending on the course you’re taking. However, most applications are due by January 15 of the year you plan to start taking fall courses. Double-check to make sure you know the correct deadline for your application.
U of T recommends you submit your application by November 7 to increase your chances of gaining admission. Keep in mind that space is limited.
2-2. Pay your application fee.
Applying for college can be costly, but it's worth it because you're investing in yourself. When you submit your application, remit your payment through the OUAC website. Pay both the OUAC fee and the U of T fee. As of December 2019, the fees are as follows:
OUAC application fees are $156 for all students, with an additional $10 fee for international students
If you want to list more than 3 program choices, OUAC charges a $50 fee for each additional program choice
U of T fees for domestic students are $90
U of T international student fees are $180
2-3. Expect U of T to acknowledge your application in about 2 weeks.
Waiting to hear from U of T might feel stressful, but it takes time for them to process your application. OUAC will forward your application to U of T once you’ve paid all of your fees. Generally, U of T will acknowledge receipt of your application within 2 weeks via email or letter. The university will also provide you login instructions for their applicant website.
This acknowledgment doesn’t mean you’re accepted to U of T. It just means your application is under review.
3. Providing Supporting Documents
3-1. Send your prior school transcripts to admissions by February 1.
U of T will use your transcripts to evaluate your past academic performance. Contact your high school or university to request your transcripts. Fill out the required paperwork and pay any fees that your school requires. Then, check with the U of T admissions office to make sure they received your transcripts.
It’s best to submit your transcripts as early as you can to increase your chances of gaining acceptance.
3-2. Turn in degree-specific materials if your program requires any.
Some programs at U of T require additional documentation for admission. Check with your individual program to make sure you’ve submitted all your materials. Additionally, make sure you meet the deadline.
For instance, Applied Science and Engineering students must fill out an online student profile, and Kinesiology and Physical Education students must submit a Statement of Interest.
Each program has its own deadlines for degree-specific materials.
3-3. Provide supporting documentation if a hardship impacted your grades.
If you experienced a hardship that affected your academic performance, the University of Toronto will consider that when evaluating your application. After you send in your application, provide documentation that you've faced a serious personal, health, or financial hardship that affected your studies. This may increase your chances of getting into the school.
For instance, you might submit your health records or a note from your doctor to prove you went through a medical hardship.
3-4. Complete a Supplementary Application Form for the Scarborough campus.
The Scarborough campus requires you to fill out a Supplementary Application Form (SAF) if you’re enrolling in their management programs, co-op management programs, double degree (BBA/BSc) applicants (including co-op), co-op international development studies, or paramedicine. Otherwise, they won’t consider you for admission or scholarships. Fill out the SAF through the U of T website using the login you received after submitting your application.
This form is due by February 1st.
3-5. Prove that you’re proficient in English if it’s not your first language.
Most students who don’t speak English as a first language must take an approved English proficiency test. However, you may be exempt from the test if you’ve attended 4 years of study in an English-speaking school in either Canada or an English-speaking country. If you take a proficiency test, submit your results by the deadline for supporting documentation, which is February 1st as of December 2019.
It’s best to submit your scores early.
U of T has 13 approved tests. You can find a list here: https://future.utoronto.ca/apply/english-language-requirements/

1-2. Participate in extracurricular activities.
Staying active in a variety of school activities (both athletic and non-athletic) is an asset to your application and shows you’re a competitive candidate. Involvement in leadership roles, volunteer opportunities, and civic engagement will be noted and used in the overall evaluation of your application.
Consideration is also given to candidates without access to extracurricular activities as well as students who hold part-time jobs after school.
1-3. Earn a competitive score on standardized tests.
Applications to the Air Force Academy need to take the SAT or ACT (or both) as part of the admissions process. There are a variety of books, programs, and classes available to help you prepare for both tests. Additional resources can also be found in your school's guidance office and/or career center.
The average SAT score for admitted applicants is 970 while the average ACT score is 30.
2. Meeting the Pre-Application Requirements
2-1. Confirm you meet the basic eligibility requirements to apply.
Appointment to the Air Force Academy requires applicants to be of good moral character and meet rigorous leadership, academic, and physical requirements. Before you apply, check that you meet the minimum application requirements. You must be:
At least 17 years. You also cannot be past your 23rd birthday by July 1 of the year you enroll. This requirement is mandated by public law and cannot be waived.
A United States Citizen. Proof of citizenship must be submitted to the Academy before you can attend. International students are exempt from this requirement.
Unmarried with no dependents. This status must be maintained while you are a student.
2-2. Contact an Air Force Academy Admissions Liaison Officer (ALO).
Your ALO can help answer all of your admissions questions and help guide you through the process. It’s recommended you reach out to an ALO as early as possible and maintain a positive relationship throughout the application process.
This person will also be your go-to resource to prepare for the in-person interview.
2-3. Complete the Pre-Candidate Questionnaire.
You become eligible to complete the questionnaire starting March 1 of your junior year. The deadline for submission is December 31. The following information will be needed to complete the questionnaire:
Full legal name, date of birth, and social security number.
Mailing address, home address, and email address.
High school name and class size.
Class rank and grade point average (on a weighted 4.0 scale)
One or more tests scores including PSAT, PreACT, SAT, and/or ACT
2-4. Seek a nomination for your application.
This can be a highly competitive and lengthy process so it’s best to start seeking a nomination early. Nominations also need to be from a legal nominating entity from a recognized nominating category. Nominations must be received by the Academy by January 31 each year. The official nominating categories are:
Congressional. Each Member of Congress is allowed to have a total of five cadets attend the academy at any given time and can nominate 10 candidates for each vacancy. If you would like to obtain a congressional nomination, reach out to your local congressperson’s office.
Vice presidential. Like congressional nominations, the Vice President of the United States can also nominate 10 candidates for up to a maximum of 5 vacancies. After you submit your application, the Academy makes recommendations to the Vice President’s office based on your admissions file.
Military Affiliated. If you are a member of a military family or have attended a military school, you can seek a military-affiliated nomination. There are several sub-categories depending on your specific situation.
U.S. Territory. If you reside in a U.S. Territory, you can obtain a nomination through your governor’s office or office of a congressional delegate.
International. If you are a citizen of another country, nominations must be from a government entity. The deadline to submit nominations for international students is December 31.
3. Completing the Admissions Process
3-1. Request your official school transcripts.
Once you make it past the pre-candidate phase, you will need to submit your official transcripts in order for you to move forward in the admissions process. The Academy has slightly different requirements for transcription submission than other colleges and school and you will be provided with specific instructions with your application.
Your transcripts will need to be submitted by your guidance counselor.
3-2. Obtain teacher evaluations.
As part of the application process, you are also required to submit three teacher evaluations that speak to your academic preparation and character. For high school students, teachers who provide your evaluations must be your:
11th or 12th grade English instructor
Math instructor
One other instructor (a science instructor is preferred, but they can be from any subject)
3-3. Train for and complete the required fitness assessments.
To qualify for admission, you must take the Candidate Fitness Assessment (CFA). The CFA is a pass/fail test consisting of six physical events that are administered consecutively. While there is no official score needed in this area, it’s important you perform to the best of your ability. Failing even one event can be grounds for disqualification so become familiar with what is expected on the CFA and practice to score well. The six events are:
Basketball throw
Pull-ups/flexed arm change
Shuttle run
Modified sit-ups (crunches)
Push-ups
One-mile run
3-4. Submit a personal writing sample.
You will be given the choice of providing a written response to two out of three prompts that will be provided during the online application. This is your chance to speak to the admissions selection panel in your own words.
Your responses should be an original reflection of who you are while also demonstrating your skills in critical thinking, grammar, and language.
3-5. Attend an in-person interview with your ALO.
During your interview, you may ask any questions you have about the Air Force Academy, including questions you may have about your personal goals after enrolling. This is your chance to add a personal touch to the admissions process and show your ALO your passion for joining the Academy.
The interview is a crucial part of your overall application so dress appropriately and treat it with the seriousness of a job interview.
3-6. Submit personal records and drug/alcohol abuse statement.
You will be given a form to fill out that asks details of any legal incidents, traffic citations, or other personal activities you may have had. Make sure you include all personal records and provide full details for each one. Instructions on completing the drug and alcohol statement must be obtained from your ALO, either over-the-phone or in-person.
Be thorough and honest when completing this statement.
3-7. Complete a medical evaluation.
All potential candidates have to meet the medical and weight requirements for a commission in the United States Air Force. The Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DODMERB) oversees exams and is responsible for determining your medical qualification. Completing the evaluation is a lengthy process and you should be prepared for a 3-4 month timeframe. It’s important to remember that you can only complete the medical exam after the following application steps have been completed:
Candidate Fitness Assessment
Candidate Personal Data Record
Candidate Activities Record
Teacher Evaluations

2,272 | How to Appreciate Abstract Art | 1. Looking at Abstract Art
1-1. Relax as you look at abstract art.
Being distracted or stressed can actually affect how you enjoy art. It’s best to go to the gallery or view the art when you’re in a relaxed state so that the art affects you in a positive way. Limit distractions around you, like your cell phone, and try to clear your mind of negative or stressful thoughts.
If you want to block out the sounds of other people in the gallery or museum, put earplugs in your ears.
To relax, you can meditate, practice breathing exercises, or listen to calming music.
1-2. Look at the artwork as objectively as you can.
Avoid saying things like “Anyone could make that” and dismiss prior notions or opinions you have about the artwork before you actually see it. Try to approach the art with an open mind and don't compare it to other work, especially if it's not in the same style.
1-3. Ask yourself how the painting makes you feel.
Instead of trying to evaluate the technical aspects of the art, ask yourself how the art makes you feel. If it makes you feel happy, sad, anxious, excited, or calm, it's a sign that it had an emotional impact on you. Be honest with yourself to determine how you really feel.
Sometimes abstract art is more about the feeling and less about the brush strokes. Take this into consideration when looking at abstract art.
1-4. Note the basics of composition.
Even if the subject matter is abstract, the composition of a piece of artwork can elicit an emotional response. Look at how the painting takes up the canvas. Does it feel balanced or in disarray? Even if the objects within the piece of artwork seem random, the composition of the painting could be purposeful and meaningful.
For example, a simple shape on a blank canvas can elicit a calming response, while different colors splattered on a canvas could elicit a frantic or anxious feeling.
You can research the basics of art composition online.
1-5. Take a closer look at the painting.
Move closer to the painting and examine the strokes and color up close. Take notice of how well the colors blend and the stroke consistency. Recognize the different techniques that the artist used and consider what it took to create it.
When you get closer to art, you can really evaluate its textures and colors.
Never touch pieces of artwork.
Research popular abstract art techniques online to develop your appreciation.
1-6. Take a step back and evaluate what you've seen.
After you've looked at all aspects of the abstract artwork, take a step back and reflect on how you feel about the art. If you feel like they conveyed their emotions well or composed the art well, you should have an elevated feeling of appreciation for what they created.
An elevated emotional response may also mean that the art got through to you!
2. Researching to Develop Your Appreciation
2-1. Read the informational plaque next to the artwork.
Some galleries have an informational plaque near the artwork that describes the artist. If you don't have time to research them, this is a great way to better understand the artist and their mindset when they created the art.
For example, if the artist witnessed the atrocities of war, a dark, depressing, or violent feeling may be conveyed through their abstract art.
2-2. Research the artist’s life.
Understanding the reason that the artist created the piece of art will give you a deeper appreciation for the art and the artist. Most abstract art tries to capture a feeling or emotion like sadness, rage, or happiness. The artist's life might interest you enough for you to develop an appreciation for their abstract art.
For example, The Scream by Edvard Munch was based on a scary experience that he had in real life.
You can usually find information about artists online.
2-3. Look at the artist’s other artwork.
If you don’t like the abstract art that an artist created, take a look at their other work. You may like their other styles of artwork enough to form an appreciation for their abstract works. You can typically find examples of their other artwork online.
For example, artists like Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, and Paul Cézanne didn’t exclusively paint abstract art. You may like their other pieces more.
2-4. Research the history and major styles of abstract art online.
Abstract art was a departure from the traditional realism that most artists of the early 20th century used. Learning about the robust history of how and why abstract art came to be will give you a deeper appreciation for it.
Romanticism, Impressionism, and Expressionism are some of the most popular styles of abstract art.
Rather than depicting scenes, people, or objects, expressionists tried to capture feelings and emotions.
Impressionism tries to capture movement.
2-5. Learn about basic color theory and composition online.
Composition refers to how elements in a painting or piece of artwork interact with other elements in the piece. A well-composed piece will have varied lines, shapes, and textures that highlight the most important portions of the artwork. Color theory refers to how different colors interact with one another and the type of emotional response that they can create.
Different compositions can elicit different feelings and emotions.
Learning more about composition and color theory will give you the knowledge that you need to better appreciate non-realistic art.
Complementary colors are colors that are positioned opposite of each other on the color wheel, such as red and green, and are often used to create harmony in a painting.
3. Changing Perspective
3-1. Forget your preconceived notions about art.
Throw away what your opinion of art is, especially if you aren’t an artist and have never studied art. The outside view of the art world is incomplete and doesn’t take into account the process or thought that goes behind creating the artwork.
If something doesn’t look impressive to you, it doesn’t mean that it wasn’t difficult, emotionally draining, or inspiring to create.
3-2. Create abstract art
If you still don’t get abstract art and can’t appreciate it, try to create some artwork yourself. Understanding the process and thought that’s required to create a piece of artwork will give you a greater appreciation for other artists.
If you don’t know where to start, you can look up tutorials online or take a local art class.
3-3. Speak and interact with abstract artists.
You can usually find abstract artists in collective studios or at their art shows. Take the time to respectfully speak to an artist, especially if you don’t understand their work. Talking to the artist and getting their perspective may give you a deeper understanding and appreciation of their work.
You can use websites like https://www.artistsnetwork.com to find abstract artists near you.

2,273 | How to Appreciate Art | 1. Understanding the Artist and their Context
1-1. Understand the historical context of the time when the art was produced.
Artists often create works to comment on major historical events, and this can give you a window into their unique perspective. In contrast, powerful institutions and people throughout history often commissioned artists to create pieces that endorsed their agendas. This affects the intended audience of the art piece — who was meant to see the art.
For example, Pablo Picasso’s Guernica (1937) was created in response to the bombings during the Spanish Civil War. It’s filled with anti-war symbolism. Picasso said of the artwork: “Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war against brutality and darkness.”
During the Renaissance, the Roman Catholic Church relied a lot on commissioned art as a means of promoting their cause and asserting their power.
1-2. Find out the genre of the painting.
If you’re looking at a painting, knowing what genre it belongs to can be helpful. Genres are essentially categories that are used to classify art. In painting, the established and well-known genres are landscape, portraiture, genre paintings (which are paintings of scenes from ordinary life), history, and still life.
John Constable’s The Hay Wain (1821) is a famous Landscape painting that led to the resurgence of landscape painting in the 19th century.
Girl with a Pearl Earring (1665) by Johannes Vermeer is considered to be a masterpiece of portraiture.
Judith Leyster’s Carousing Couple (1630) is a great example of a genre painting.
History paintings depict a moment in a specific historical narrative. Vasily Surikov’s The Morning of the Streltsy Execution (1881) is a very intricate history painting example.
Lastly, still life paintings are of inanimate, commonplace objects. Van Gogh’s Sunflowers (1889) is a bright and sunny still life example.
1-3. Learn about the art movements or schools that influenced the piece.
Art movements were surges in popularity of certain ways of creating art. An art “school” is basically just a group of artists, sometimes all in the same region, who all have a similar style or subject matter. Knowing a little bit about these can help you understand why an artist might have made certain choices.
For example, painters in the Egyptian school of art had certain rules that they had to follow — like the size of any figure they drew was supposed to vary based on the social status of the person they were painting. They also couldn’t use more than six colors, and each color symbolized a different aspect of life or death.
Impressionism, one of the largest 19th-century art movements, is defined by short, loose brushstrokes that are intended to capture the quality of light.
1-4. Read up on the life and perspective of the artist.
Learning a bit about the artist who created a piece can help shed light on it in a variety of ways. It can help you understand why they made certain artistic decisions, or chose to make the work at all in the first place.
For example, Mexican painter Frida Kahlo had limited mobility after fighting off polio and enduring a bus accident in her early life. Her pain and struggle manifests in several of her pieces.
2. Recognizing an Artist’s Craft
2-1. Learn when the piece was produced.
Art museums typically have informational plaques next to each work that will provide basic information about the piece. Knowing when a piece of artwork was created can help you appreciate the difficulty involved in making it.
For instance, landscape paintings produced before the rise of photography (which began to include landscapes around 1860) were definitely more challenging to do!
2-2. Identify the medium that was used to make the art.
A medium refers to the material used to create a piece of art. The type of material used affects how the artist made the piece. If you can’t tell which medium was used, museums or galleries will often state the medium of an artwork on informational plaques.
Oil and acrylic paints are examples of media for painters, while bronze and marble are media for sculptors.
With the rise of modern art, media has expanded to include not just types of paint and stone, but also materials like found/appropriated objects or even bodily excretions. This has led to the creation of the term “mixed-media,” which is used when talking about an art piece made from a variety of materials.
2-3. Recognize the artist’s effort to convey lines.
For visual works, notice the artist’s ability to create confident lines. Lines are created when an artist draws or paints marks on a page, when a sculptor bends or shapes material, or when a photographer angles their camera a certain way. Some ways to describe lines are dashed, bold, rough, smooth, or implied.
2-4. Pay attention to the shapes that stand out in the painting.
Note any interesting shapes that grab your eye when you look at a piece of art and think about how the artist achieved them. Shapes can be geometric or organic.
Geometric shapes are simple, commonly-recognized shapes like squares or rectangles. Organic shapes are unique and free-form.
Looking at still life paintings of fruit is a great way to understand how artists have experimented with shape.
2-5. Notice how the artist uses color.
Ask yourself why the artist chose to use the combination of colors that they did and if these colors work in harmony or contrast. Color has an enormous effect on how we feel when we look at a piece.
For example, pieces with blue undertones are known to have a calming effect on the viewer. Meanwhile, yellow is associated with light and feelings of optimism.
2-6. Study the brushwork of a painted piece.
Brushwork, or the way that the artist applied paint using their brush, really sticks out when you are looking at paintings in-person. It’s used to create certain effects in the art, contributing to both texture and mood.
For example, the feathery, light brushwork in Impressionist paintings is intended to mimic the qualities of light.
Harsh and erratic brush strokes can communicate a sense of tension and anxiety in a piece.
3. Making Meaning out of Art
3-1. Keep an open mind.
You will never know if you like or don’t like certain types of art if you don’t try to enjoy them. You can think of going to see new kinds of art as exposing yourself to new experiences, rather than just seeing art.
3-2. Evaluate how a work of art makes you feel.
Be in touch with your own emotions as you view art. Do you feel excited? Calm? Anxious? Confused? Art can evoke a wide range of emotional responses, so do your best to be conscious of yours.
3-3. Offer your own interpretation of what the art means.
Part of the fun of viewing art is that you get to come up with your own story about it! Art is very subjective, so even if your interpretation of a piece isn’t exactly what the artist intended, it’s okay! There is often not just one right answer. What’s important is that you make a genuine effort to extract meaning from their work.
Because every person has a different set of unique experiences, it’s valid for every person who views a piece of art to walk away with a different understanding of it. This can lead to interesting discussions! Ask the person next to you what they think.
It’s also completely fine to offer no interpretation at all, and instead just enjoy the art for its physical properties.
3-4. Applaud the ambiguity of abstraction.
Abstract art — art that doesn’t look like anything in the real world — can be a little harder to appreciate because the message or emotion that the artist is trying to convey is not always immediately clear. To enjoy abstract art, think about what grabs your eye first in the piece, and why the artist might have wanted your attention to go there.
Abstract art can be fun because it’s like a puzzle. You really have to give it some thought to come up with a potential meaning for it. Remember, your meaning doesn’t have to be necessarily correct!
3-5. Learn what you like and don’t like.
As you view more and more art, you will start to develop an understanding of what you like and dislike in a piece of art. This can help you seek out similar artists.
You don’t have to love everything that you see! Artist statements or descriptive brochures can sometimes be misleading, so if you unexpectedly don’t like a certain type of art, that’s fine.
Tips
Don’t feel like you have to think about all of these elements for every single piece of art in a gallery! That can be overwhelming. It’s fine to skip sections that you aren’t as interested in.[28]

Research source
There is some research that suggests that attending art museums alone makes for a more enriching, emotional experience. So, feel free to spend the day in a gallery by yourself![29]

2,274 | How to Appreciate Black Metal | 1. Identifying the Characteristics of Black Metal
1-1. Note the vocals.
The vocals in Black Metal music evoke a primitive sensation in audiences through shrieking, snarling, and screaming. While these sounds may be grating to your ear at first, note how the explosive, guttural noises conjure a savage and driving atmosphere. You might think of the vocals as an insistent reminder of a feral shared past and the animal within all human beings.
You might not be able to relate to the content of the song, but you may have an event in your past that fills you with the same primitive feeling expressed by the vocalist. Making this association may help you connect with the emotional message behind the music.
1-2. Observe the lack of bass and shrieking trebles.
Throughout the genre, you may have noticed a lack of bass while the upper range, the treble, is raw and piercing. This creates an agitated kind of distortion that blurs one sound with the next. This distortion/blurring effect is intended to give you a feeling of suspension in time.
1-3. Recognize the rhythm.
The speed of Black Metal is general very fast, often with many repeated notes played in rapid succession. This drawn out effect can add to the indistinct atmosphere, with the repeated notes adding a sharp, continuous spike in the distortion.
The English Speed Metal band, Venom, is largely credited for contributing this characteristic to the Black Metal genre. By listening to Venom and other Speed Metal bands, you may gain a better understanding of and appreciation for Black Metal.
1-4. Detect common themes.
Unlike many other kinds of metal, Black Metal is notable for its strong stance against contemporary established religion, especially Christianity. This counter-culture may be reflected lyrically in the form of Satanism, medieval paganism, or other kinds of pre-Christian religion.
Many Black Metal bands also utilize the mythic imaginings of writers, such as J.R.R. Tolkien, writer of The Lord of the Rings. It's likely you'll find that some of the names used in your favorite Black Metal songs allude to characters or places in Tolkien's books.
The writings of Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, are also prominently featured in Black Metal. You'll find the basic tenets of Satanism widespread through Black Metal culture.
Another theme you'll want to be on the look out for is the use of language that yearns for a return to times long since past. This may manifest in the form of medieval clothing, practices, or anachronistic actions, like the sacrifice of animals.
1-5. Define the genre for yourself.
The variety within Black Metal makes it notoriously difficult to pin down exact features, though there are many similarities throughout the genre. You'll have to come to terms with the fact that not only are there many different kinds of Black Metal, but there also many different opinions of what Black Metal is. Within the genre, there are two main camps:
The purists. You'll find that these fans revere the genre in its original, underground form. If you find yourself more drawn to the raw, straightforward style of non-mainstream Black Metal, you may be a member of this group.
The inclusives. These kinds of fans use a much broader definition for Black Metal. If you enjoy the raw underground but think it's just as Black Metal as the more technical work produced by mainstream bands, you're likely an inclusive.
2. Tapping into Your Black Metal Soul
2-1. Get into character, black metal style.
Many Black Metal artists wear clothing that resembles peasant or noble garb of the Dark Ages, but you may also want to try out spiked collars, leather articles of clothing, or military themed outfits. For accessories, you might think about adding an upside down cross necklace or jewelry that reflects pagan or Satanist culture, like the pentagram or the triskelion.
Shedding your normal, hum-drum clothing can help you transform your mindset from the everyday mentality to one that is darker and edgier. This can also help you feel more at place when attending Black Metal events.
2-2. Connect with the culture.
There may be Black Metal themed bars or venues around you where you can meet like-minded fans. If this isn't an option where you live, you might join Black Metal message boards or online communities to become a more active part of the community and the culture.
Taking part in the Black Metal community can help you better understand and internalize many of the feelings of the culture at large. However, as individualism is a noted feature of Black Metal, you may also want to think about the culture in terms of what it means to you.
2-3. Attend a live performance.
You should be prepared for the often gruesome theatrics that are frequently involved in a Black Metal show. In some cases, this might involve the killing of animals, like sheep or pigs, on stage. Sometimes bands will even throw parts of a slaughtered animal into the audience.
If violence to animals or the representation of blood and gore upset you, you may want to avoid a live Black Metal performance. However, you can still enjoy the Black Metal sound on CD or by downloading your favorite albums.
The volume at live performances can be quite loud, so you'll want to take steps to protect your hearing. In many cases, you can buy a pair of suitable earplugs at your local drug store for this purpose.
2-4. Read popular Black Metal influences.
To gain a better understanding of Black Metal and how it relates to you, you might find it helpful to read some of the material commonly referenced in the genre. In doing so, you may find that lyrics otherwise unintelligible take on a new, personally accessible meaning.
Due to the heavy Satanic influences, you may want to delve into the writings of Anton LaVey. However, the anti-Christian elements of Black Metal also make Nietzsche's famous work, The Antichrist, useful to know.
To gain a fuller understanding of medieval allusions in Black Metal, you may want to read Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Beowulf, Dante's The Divine Comedy, the Elder Edda, and more. These books give you a better perspective of the olden days to which many Black Metal artists desire to return.
3. Broadening Your Black Metal Tastes
3-1. Explore first wave bands.
The first wave of Black Metal took place in the 1980s, establishing many of the audio characteristics of the genre. The raw, unpolished sound of these bands will give you insight into how Black Metal has changed over the years and whether or not you prefer the lower-production value highly esteemed by purists or the more technical sound appreciated by inclusives.
There are many bands you might choose to listen to while investigating the first wave of Black Metal. Some bands to consider include Bathory, Hellhammer, and Celtic Frost.
3-2. Dig into the second wave.
This era in Black Metal finds its roots in the early '90s and was led by many then-prominent Norwegian bands. At this time, the genre began to define itself more narrowly, though many divisions as to what was "true" Black Metal remained.
Some notable second wave Black Metal groups include Carpathian Forest, Darkthrone, Emperor, Gorgoroth, Immortal, Mayhem, and Satyricon. You may find the second wave most suitable for your Black Metal taste.
3-3. Find your favorite sub-genre.
Within Black Metal you'll find many sub-genres, and some of these may be more palatable to you. As each sub-genre highlights a different feature within Black Metal, the focus on these may also help deepen your understanding of the genre as a whole. Some sub-genres you may want to look into include:
Ambient Black Metal. This sub-genre can be less abrasive than other varieties. In many cases, it incorporates strong atmospheric sounds to give a dreamlike sensation to its music. Two artists prominent in this sub-genre are Agalloch and Wolves in the Throne Room.
Black 'n Roll. This version of Black Metal combines the styles of hard rock, glam rock, and adds a dash of rock 'n roll. Some examples of Black 'n Roll include Kvelertak, Vreid, and Khold.
Symphonic Black Metal. You'll find that this style uses more symphonic and instrumental sounds in its production. Some examples of instruments that might be used include the piano, violin, and cello.

2,275 | How to Appreciate Jazz Music | 1. Knowing What to Look for in Jazz
1-1. Pick out the original melody.
The melody is the main theme of a song. In jazz, it's common for you to hear the same song twice and notice many differences between performers, performances, and even recordings. This is because jazz musicians have a great deal of freedom in how they play the base melody serving as the foundation for its sound. Learning to pick out the main melody among the complex variations of individual instrumentalists is part of the fun of jazz!
You may notice that some performers have certain features or a distinct sound. Picking out and noticing these features can be a fun way for you to engage the music.
If you hear a melody you particularly enjoy, you may want to explore variations of it. To do this, you might search for performances of the same song by different jazz artists or ensembles online.
Listening to a song you're already somewhat familiar with may help you pick out the melody more easily. Some famous jazz hits you might want to give a listen to include "Take Five," "Sing, Sing Sing," "So What," and " 'Round Midnight."
1-2. Develop a feel for the harmony.
There are many layers to jazz music. The melody should be the most distinct, topmost layer, but behind that you should hear a harmonious structure of chords. Generally, there will be three different chords used, with each of these being played in various ways to give the harmony of the song a broad range of variety.
It's very common for artist to break up harmonic chords to create a sustained, pleasing sound while the melody is played. You may want to keep an ear out for broken chords, rolled chords, and other variations in the harmony while listening to jazz.
Many public radio services, like your local classical/jazz station or NPR, have segments devoted to jazz music. You may learn more about harmony listening to these segments and the accompanying commentary of the DJs.
1-3. Catch the rhythm.
The complex and regularly changing rhythms of jazz are a key feature to the genre. The main beat of a song will often be elongated or shortened to add punch and flourish to the musical phrases in it. You can easily notice where artists take liberties with the beat by following along with the main beat yourself.
While listening, it may help you follow the beat if you tap your foot or your hand steadily in time with the music. This will be the dominant rhythm of the song.
When you notice players hold out or cut short beats, you've discovered a change to the rhythm. These off-beat rhythms generally sync up with the main beat later on.
You may want to tap along quietly, especially if you are attending a live jazz performance. Following the beat too loudly by clapping/tapping your hands/feet could disrupt the musicians.
Swing music, having a pronounced rhythmic quality, may make feeling the rhythm easier for you. Some popular swing tunes you might be interested hearing include "Caravan," "Take the 'A' Train," and "Sweet Georgia Brown."
1-4. Assess the forms of improvisation being used.
Improvisation may be the feature of jazz most familiar to you. However, you may not know that there are different kinds of improv that jazz musicians use when playing. These are broken up into three main categories that you may want to keep in mind when listening:
Paraphrase improv. Paraphrase improv uses the melody like a springboard. Oftentimes, an artist will feature the melody strongly throughout the piece, waiting for specific places or themes before exploding into a variation.
Motivic improv. The name of this kind of improv comes from the word "motif." It uses repeated sections of the song at higher and lower intervals to change the atmosphere and quality of the motif being repeated.
Formulaic improv. This kind of improv requires the most technical knowledge on the part of the performer. During formulaic improv, a musician will insert highly complex combinations of notes, often referred to as "licks," to spice up a solo.
1-5. Recognize the unity of the ensemble.
Since improvisation is such an important part of jazz music, the players in an ensemble must be well coordinated for there to be cohesion throughout a performance. In many cases, this takes the form of signals, gestures, or other kinds of cues between players, like a certain riff played on an instrument or a particular note in the melody that's leaned on heavily.
Looking for the signals between performers, or even noting the level of unity and balance among them, can add another level to your jazz appreciation. You may find that, even if you don't like the tune, the interaction between players still makes the music enjoyable.
2. Enjoying Jazz
2-1. Attend a jazz venue.
There may be a local jazz club or bar near you where you can listen to jazz. However, if this kind of environment isn't your scene, many universities and music institutes/conservatories put on jazz events throughout the year that you can attend. One benefit to seeing jazz live is its engagement of your senses. Not only can you hear the music and see the performers in action, but in many cases you will be able to feel the music as its vibrations hit your skin.
Observe good etiquette while you're at a jazz performance. This is especially important at a jazz club or bar. Most performers will expect you to be respectful during the performance; this means you should keep the volume of your conversations to a minimum.
The spontaneous nature of jazz makes live events the perfect place for you to get into the spirit of the genre. Recordings, in many cases, fail to convey the atmosphere of a performance.
2-2. See a jazz festival.
Many communities put on local events and festivals celebrating the jazz, its history, and its culture. This is an excellent opportunity for you to mingle with and learn from longtime jazz fans and musicians. At many of these events, influential jazz artists as well as up-and-comers will play music, giving you a chance to hear contemporary and classic jazz.
Depending on the region in which you live, the kind of festivals available will vary. Some major jazz festivals you might consider visiting include the Chicago Jazz Music Festival (late August/early September), Saratoga Jazz Festival (late June), Portland Jazz Festival (mid February), Fillmore Street Jazz Festival (early July), and Jacksonville Jazz Festival (late May).
2-3. Be in the moment
While listening to the jazz, it's easy to get caught up in technical details or you can be distracted by your search for specific features in a song or ensemble. Ultimately, jazz is based on the emotions of the performers. The sound they craft during a performance is intended to capture that feeling, whatever it may be. Try to feel with the performers as they play.
Although the atmosphere of a venue can contribute a great deal to the atmosphere, it can also be distracting. You may want to close your eyes during part of the performance, and see what feelings, colors, shapes, or thoughts are evoked by the music.
2-4. Get into the swing of it.
The "swing" rhythm used in jazz songs infuses the music with a sense of forward momentum, bounciness, lightness, and urgency. This excitable ambiance looks for a similar response the listener, creating a kind of conversation between performers and audience. This is intentional, as swing was derived from call-and-response musical styles of that time.
Jazz was originally used as dance music in the early 1900s for youth rebelling against musical and social conventions. If you're at an appropriate venue, you may find that you connect better with jazz when you get out of your seat and start dancing along.
3. Understanding the Evolution of Jazz
3-1. Brush up on the blues.
Because jazz and the blues essentially grew up alongside each other in the early 1900s, you'll find many similarities between the two genres of music. In particular, you'll notice that both jazz and the blues make use of blue notes, which are notes played a little lower than the major scale of a piece. This gives the music its iconic, mournful, "bluesy" sound.
In listening to blues and other music originating from the same period as jazz, you'll gain a finer understanding for the atmosphere of that era. This could help you connect more deeply with the music on an emotional or technical level.
The blues have been played in some form or another since the late 1800s, so there are many artists in this genre you might listen to. However, three blues musicians highly influential to the jazz scene include W.C. Handy, Huddie “Lead Belly” Ledbetter, and Bessie Smith.
3-2. Listen to ragtime.
Ragtime introduced the jazz scene to syncopation, which is the practice of strengthening weak beats and weakening strong beats. This style is featured extensively in jazz. You should note the offbeat quality syncopation gives jazz music. This creates variety and a sense of drive in the music that makes it more exciting.
You can get a better feel for syncopation with a foot tapping exercise. Tap your foot up and down steadily. When you bring your foot down, say "Oom" and when you raise your foot say "pah." So as you tap, you should say "Oom-pah, oom-pah." Then, while continuing tapping your foot, only say the "pah." This "pah" represents the syncopated beat.
Jazz artists will include a mix of syncopated (off-beat) and non-syncopated (on-beat) rhythms. This creates additional complexity and emphasis in the song. Identifying off- and on-beat rhythms may add a new dimension to your appreciation of jazz.
3-3. Get a taste of New Orleans jazz.
The New Orleans music scene greatly encouraged the use of brass instruments and syncopation in jazz while contributing to ensemble structure. This structure generally relied on a brass instrumentalist, frequently called the "frontline," and a two person rhythm section. Popular frontline instruments included the trumpet, cornet, trombone, and clarinet. Rhythm section instruments often included the piano, drums, string bass, and banjo.
Thanks to the invention of the phonograph, many classic songs that came out of the New Orleans jazz age could be preserved. Listen along with Joe “King” Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, and The Original Dixieland Jass Band to familiarize yourself with New Orleans jazz.
3-4. Continue learning about jazz.
Jazz has a long and colorful history that includes many styles and sub-genres. Classic jazz, swing, bebop, cool jazz, bossa nova, jazz fusion, acid jazz, and other jazz sub-genres ensure that you'll have plenty to listen to in your journey to gain a better appreciation of jazz.
To gain a more formal understanding of jazz and jazz history, you may want to take a class on the subject. These can frequently be found at your nearest local university, community college, community center, or school of music.
You may find that a trip to a historic jazz site, like a nightclub or historic jazz composer's home, gives you a fuller understanding of jazz. Many of these sites have information in the form of pamphlets that you can use to buff up on jazz.
Tips
Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Nat “King” Cole were popular and prolific jazz artists. You should be able to easily find these artists' greatest hits/best-of albums.

2,276 | How to Appreciate Novels | 1. Steps
1-1. Measure your reading level.
Don't expect or force yourself to appreciate Shakespeare or Canterbury Tales on your first time. If you need to, start on easy reading books. Don't be afraid to start with children's books, adults are supposed to enjoy them too.
“A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.”― C.S. Lewis
1-2. Choose your books properly.
After assessing your reading level, get a list of suggested books from a person who knows a great range of books. It might be your teacher, librarian, or even that elderly neighbor across the street.
You might want to start with classics. There's a big reason why they managed to survive through time --- because of their timeless content, designed to be appreciated by people from different generations.
1-3. Choose books that match your interests and personality.
It's no use hovering over books about things you're not particularly interested in, especially when you're a novice reader. It might scrape you all of your interest and enthusiasm about starting to read.
“If you cannot read all your books...fondle them---peer into them, let them fall open where they will, read from the first sentence that arrests the eye, set them back on the shelves with your own hands, arrange them on your own plan so that you at least know where they are. Let them be your friends; let them, at any rate, be your acquaintances.”― Winston Churchill
1-4. Read the summary or read reviews about the book.
By all means, don't be shy about getting some recommendations for reading. Read the summary so you know what you're reading about. Life is too short to waste your time in a book that you can't learn from.
1-5. Don't be afraid to "vandalize" your book (Skip this step if you're borrowing the book from the library or from someone.
) Most readers are so afraid of getting ink into their book papers, depriving themselves of further education and enjoyment. Books have margins not only so the pages look neat and organized. Publishers add margins so readers can actually write phrases and comments on them.
Comment on particular phrases that caught your attention. This will make you remember the phrase and would help you remember it when chances come that you might want to say something about that particular phrase.
Whenever you encounter a new word, grab a dictionary and look for it's definition. Use the word immediately in a sentence. By the end of the book, you'll be surprised to know how much words have been added to your vocabulary.
“I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in.”― Robert Louis Stevenson
1-6. List down or highlight quotes.
You might be surprised about the amount of inspiration, lessons and humor that you can get by remembering quotes from books. They're mighty useful too. Use them in greeting cards, in speeches etc.
Highlight quotes using crayons or something that won't seep through the page.
List them out in a small notebook for handy everyday use.
1-7. Learn more about the details of the book.
Encountered something that piqued your interest? Research more about it! Books (especially classics) have history in them and what better way to learn painlessly than by learning through the experience of others? If you're reading Les Miserables or Hunchback of Notre Dame, by all means, feel free to learn about France and their culture. This will not only educate you, it will also help you imagine the scene of the book more.
“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”― Neil Gaiman, Coraline
1-8. Learn more about the author.
Learning more about the author of the novel actually makes you realize more about how the book came to be. You will learn the harmony and the irony of human mind as well as the fascinating things that might come from something or someone so ordinary.
“I don't believe in the kind of magic in my books. But I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.”― J.K. Rowling
1-9. Think about the lessons you learn about the books.
Books without lessons are of no value. After reading a book, or even while reading it, think of the lessons and morals the author wants to impart you. Does it teach about true love, real friendship, bravery or finding your true self? Don't forget to dig deeper into phrases and conversations as you go.
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”― Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!
1-10. Share it.
Oh, the joy of making friends through books. Share what you learned, share your new found passion. Join a book club and meet people with the same interest, you'll be amazed how talking about a single book can really liven up conversations. Who knows? You might even help someone realize their dream and future career.
“If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.”― Ralph Waldo Emerson
1-11. Do some extra work.
By extra work, I mean, go extra miles to appreciate the book.
Read art books about the book you just read, if they are available. Some publishers publish art books for collectors and fans.
If you're into art, draw/paint characters from the book or the scenery.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/ed\/Appreciate-Novels-Step-11Bullet2.jpg\/v4-460px-Appreciate-Novels-Step-11Bullet2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/ed\/Appreciate-Novels-Step-11Bullet2.jpg\/aid3535757-v4-728px-Appreciate-Novels-Step-11Bullet2.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>"}
If movies/musicals about the book are available, try to watch them as they might help you clarify events better.
If you're into music and you liked the soundtracks from the movie/musical, find some time to learn them or even just listen to them
If you don't have your own books, make a step and start building your own library of personal favorites.
“It is a great thing to start life with a small number of really good books which are your very own.”― Arthur Conan Doyle
1-12. Read more books similar to the book you last enjoyed.
Now that you have tried reading a novel (and hopefully, have enjoyed it,) it's now time to read another book. The next book could (though not limited to) be similar to the one you have just read --- it might be of the same theme, scenario, author or similar plot.
If before, you can only read 5mins/day (which is considerably good for first-timers) you may want to increase it every time until you can genuinely say that you prefer books over other hobbies like watching reality shows and playing violent video games.
“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”― Groucho Marx

2,277 | How to Appreciate People of Other Religions | 1. Educating Yourself on Other Religions
1-1. Educate yourself on the origins and history of other major religions.
While there are many smaller religions and subsets of major ones, most people in the world practice either Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, or Judaism. Educate yourself on the history and origins of these religions to get a fuller understanding of their customs and beliefs.
You can find most historical information on these religions online or at a local library.
It may be hard to research all five at once, so start with one you’re unfamiliar with and slowly move on to learn the rest over time.
Islam, Christianity, and Judaism were derived in the Middle East while Hinduism and Buddhism were founded in India.
The age of each religion varies drastically in some cases. Hinduism is the oldest known religion that's still practiced and has been developed in India since 1500 BCE.
1-2. Read the books of other faiths.
Religious texts exist as standards and practices for major religions, and are great sources to better understand most belief systems. While your personal belief may lie elsewhere, reading and comprehending the texts will give you a better appreciation for other religions.
While Judaism has the Torah, Christianity has the Bible, and Islam has the Quran, most major religions usually have hundreds of associated texts related to the canon of the religion as well.
You can always pick up religious texts in your native tongue by looking online or at a bookstore.
1-3. Talk to people about what their faith means to them.
The best way to get perspective on other faiths is to talk to people that actively practice them. Ask them questions in a respectful way about how their faith impacts their life.
You can ask people about specific dishes that they eat during certain holidays, or customs that you’re not sure about.
Most people will be pleasantly surprised when you take interest in their religion.
1-4. Visit important holy places of different religions.
Holy places, or sacred sites are areas of religious significance and are often visited by people who practice the religion. Visiting them will allow you to experience the religion, in person, and give you special knowledge that can’t be attained from books. In addition, it will allow you to surround yourself with those that follow a different faith.
Sacred sites can be found all over the world including countries like Nepal, India, China, Japan, Italy, France, and Israel.
Refer to a travel guide to find local sacred sites.
2. Respecting Different Customs
2-1. Remain positive and practice tolerance.
When you are tolerant towards other people, it creates a positive atmosphere, even in difficult situations. Try to stay positive and remember that other people may think differently than you, but that it doesn’t make them bad people.
If you don’t like someone’s customs, but it doesn’t affect you or harm anyone, keep your opinion to yourself.
If you really can’t get along with someone, just walk away and reflect on your interaction. Revisit it later with a different person.
2-2. Compare similarities in your religion to other religions.
While customs, traditions, and important religious figures might differ, many religions share the same moral standards, tenets, and even sacred texts and holy sites. Find common ground and appreciate things that are similar, like the virtues of nonviolence, treating others with respect, and tolerance.
Judaism and Christianity use some of the same religious texts and both share the laws of the 10 Commandments.
Islam, Judaism, and Christianity share holy sites in Israel and Palestine.
Hinduism and Buddhism both share origins from India and have some similar beliefs, like the belief in reincarnation.
2-3. Don’t disrupt another religion’s customs or rituals.
Interrupting another religion’s customs or rituals is a huge sign of disrespect, and could make people very mad. Even if you don’t understand what’s going on, or don’t believe in the custom, let the people complete it without interruption.
If you’re curious about a custom or ritual, wait until it is complete before asking any questions.
Remember to remain respectful and inquisitive and not judgmental.
2-4. Ask questions and don’t believe in media depictions of religion.
The media creates different depictions of different religions, and many of them may not be accurate. Many reports from the media are stereotypes, and not indicative to the faith as a whole. Before passing judgement on someone from a different faith, ask questions about that faith.
Make sure to not incorporate negative things you’ve heard from the media or entertainment industry when talking to the person.
You can respectfully ask questions about a religion’s clothing, customs, laws, or beliefs without offending most people.
3. Interacting With People of Different Faiths
3-1. Visit a place where people practice diverse religions.
Surrounding yourself with people who practice other faiths will make it easier to make diverse friends. Visiting an area that has a diverse religious makeup also allows you to interact with people of other faiths on a daily basis, whether it be at the store, your job, or at social gatherings.
Traveling to different countries can also expand your perspective and increase your knowledge of other religions and cultures.
If you can’t afford to move, visit nearby metropolitan areas that have more religious and cultural diversity.
Some of the most culturally diverse cities in the world include Amsterdam, London, and Los Angeles.
3-2. Converse about theology with people of different faiths.
Being open to talk to other people about a faith that you don’t believe in is important if you want to expand your perspective and appreciate people of different religions. While you may not agree with all their doctrines, you should be open to learning about their customs and beliefs.
Don’t argue and fight with someone of a different faith. Accept the fact that you may both believe different things.
Some people may not want to talk about their faith, and you should accept it and move on.
If someone of a different faith asks you why you are asking him so many questions, or why you are so open to talk about religion say, “I’m trying to expand my knowledge and understanding of different faiths. I don’t know a lot about your faith, and I’m trying to get a better perspective from someone who practices it.”
3-3. Remain respectful and back off the conversation if it gets tense.
There are 5.8 billion people who are affiliated with a religion and for many, it plays an important role in their lives. For that reason, it’s important that you remain respectful at all times when discussing someone’s faith. If you feel the conversation getting tense, just back away from the topic and change the subject.
Clearly communicating and remaining understanding and respectful will help you avoid conflict.
Don’t tell people that your religion is superior to theirs.
Never tell someone else that her faith is “wrong.”
3-4. Participate in positive activities with other faiths.
Doing something positive as a community or friends will bring you together, even if people’s religions are different. Planting a community garden, joining a softball team, or taking a class together will create a bond that transcends the differences in your religions.
There are non-denominational community groups that participate in community building.
To find a community group search on Idealist.org for volunteer openings in your area.
3-5. Spend time with people that practice different faiths.
If you’re not used to mingling with people of different cultures and different faiths, then you may need to go the extra mile and network with people you know come from different backgrounds. Try to create relationships with people you meet at social events, work, or school who practice different religions. Make it a point to hang out with them and become friends with them.
The stronger your friendships become, the more comfortable some people will feel in discussing and explaining their religion.
4. Embracing Our Common Humanity
4-1. Realize that regardless of religion, people are human, just like you.
When you do not appreciate another group of people, it’s very easy to forget that regardless of belief, everyone shares a commonality in having emotions and desires. Don’t dehumanize another group of people, and if they are suffering, have compassion for them just as you would a family member or friend.
People of other religions also have families and friends and want the best for them. They might enjoy sports, or love the family dog, or get irritated with Grandma sometimes. Each person has many facets, and religion is just one side of who they are.
Recognizing that you, too, are much more than your religion may help you to think larger and apply that same concept to other individuals who may have a different religion.
All humans, regardless of race or religion share the same set of genes.
There are aspects of human psychology that transcend cultural, regional, and religious differences as well.
4-2. Find a common ground with other people.
Our society is becoming increasingly polarized, so it’s easy to feel like you are constantly at war with another group of people. While you may not embrace another person’s religion, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the same hobbies, sports, or entertainment. Try to find common ground with those people you interact with on a daily basis.
Instead of focusing on cultural and religious differences, talk about things that you both enjoy — sports, film, art, good food, literature, etc.
You may find a lifelong friend in someone that you would not expect.
4-3. Focus on how your belief defines interactions with others.
Most belief systems educate their followers to treat other people well, regardless of the differences in religion. Keep this in the forefront of your mind when you are being judgemental or critical on others.
In Islam, Allah said, "Allah commands you to uphold justice and to do good to others and to give to the relatives." (16:90)
In Judaism, it is a main tenant to treat others with kindness.
Buddhism teaches you to treat everyone just as you would treat those that are close to you, like family or friends.
The Bible teaches to “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”
4-4. Consider the message you send to younger generations.
We are shaping the world everyday, and our actions have reverberating effects. Think about the legacy that you are leaving behind, and whether it will be filled with hate and prejudice, or love and acceptance, and how that will affect the world after you’re gone.
Many of your beliefs will influence your children, so it’s especially important to try to achieve acceptance before their belief systems are fully formed.

2,278 | How to Appreciate Poems | 1. Reading for Pleasure
1-1. Read the poem several times.
Doing just 1 reading of the poem may not be enough for you to appreciate it. Try reading it at least 2-3 times, taking breaks between each reading. You may find you have a deeper connection to the poem on the second or third, or even fourth read.
You can also try reading the poem once, putting it aside for a day, and then returning to it for a second or third read. This can give you time to think about the poem in more detail.
1-2. Return to lines or words you find pleasing.
If any lines or words catch your attention or spark your interest, go back and reread them. Consider why you find the lines or words pleasing.
For example, you may simply like them or feel you can relate to them. Or you may find the lines interesting because they are strange and unexpected.
1-3. Close your eyes and picture the images in the poem.
Read a line that contains an image or feeling in the poem. Then, close your eyes and try to picture what it might look like to you.
For example, you may close your eyes and picture an image of a ship on a harbor as it is described in the poem.
2. Analyzing Poems
2-1. Make notes in the margins of the poem.
Start by doing a first read of the poem where you take each word as they appear on the page. Write a note in the margins next to any words or phrases that feel important or interesting to you. This way, you can analyze them later and consider what they might mean in the context of the poem.
For example, you may highlight words like “bandaged,” “fright,” and “goblin” in a poem because they stand out to you.
2-2. Look up words you don’t recognize.
Use a dictionary to search for words that you are unfamiliar with in the poem. Then, think about how the meaning of the word adds to the lines of the poem. This can help you better understand what the speaker in the poem is trying to say or convey.
2-3. Identify the form of the poem.
The form of the poem can be free-verse, haiku, sonnet, limerick, tanka, or sestina. Often the poet will choose a particular form to add to the poem’s meaning or to give the poem a certain style. The form can also help you determine the structure and meter of the poem.
You may need to look up a few examples of different poetic forms to help you identify which one the poem uses. Most modern poems use free-verse, while older poems tend to use more formal structures like the sonnet, haiku, or limerick.
2-4. Notice if the poem has a certain rhythm or flow when read aloud.
Listen to how the poem sounds when you read it aloud. Pay attention to the rhythm of each line and how each line flows into one another. Think about how the sound of the poem makes you feel. Consider how the rhythm or flow of the poem adds to the overall meaning.
For example, you may consider questions like, “Does the poem sound smooth and light when read aloud?” “Does it have a choppy or short rhythm?” “Is the poem easy to read aloud or do you have to pause between each line?”
2-5. Check for repetition and rhyme in the poem.
Poets will use repetition, where the same word or phrase is repeated more than once, to emphasize it and let readers know it is important. Check for words or phrases that are repeated in the poem and consider how they relate to the subject of the poem.
You can also look at rhyme in the poem to find deeper meaning. Notice if the poem follows a rhyme scheme, where the ends of certain lines rhyme with each other. Think about how the rhymes give the poem structure.
2-6. Look for literary devices like metaphor, simile, and personification.
A metaphor compares two things to each other. For example, “My love is a red, red rose.” A simile compares two things using “like” or “as.” For example, “My love is like a flaming sun.” Both literary devices are used often in poems to create strong imagery for the reader. They often add sensory details and emotion to the poem.
Personification is when an inanimate object is given human qualities, such as a tree, a ball, or a computer. It is often used in poems about nature and technology to add deeper meaning to the subject.
2-7. Sum up the poem in your own words.
Try paraphrasing the poem using your understanding of it. You can be as simple or as complex as you’d like in your summary. Think about how you interpret or understand the poem and try to describe it from your point of view. Keep in mind there is no right answer in poetry, as poems are always up for interpretation.
For example, you may sum up a poem as a meditation on death and life or a poem as a story about friendship between a boy and his dog.
3. Experiencing Poems Through Sound and Performance
3-1. Read the poem aloud several times.
Poems are meant to listened to as well as read on the page. Take the time to read the poem aloud and pay attention to how the words sound. Notice if you connect with particular lines or words in the poem when you read it aloud. Try reading it aloud several times to deepen your understanding of it.
3-2. Listen to poets reading their own poems.
Another way to make the poem come alive is to try to find a recording of the poet who wrote the poem reading their work. Poets often perform their poems when they read, making them feel more engaging and interesting. Look for recordings of the poem online or through the sound archives at your local library. Many modern poets have recordings of their work that is available for free.
Try looking for a recording of the poem here: https://www.poetryarchive.org/ or here: https://www.nysoclib.org/collection/poets-reading-poetry.
3-3. Go to a live poetry reading in your area.
Look for poetry readings at local cafes or bars. Attend open mic nights that feature poetry. Check if a poet you like is performing at a venue in your area and go see them read. Live poetry readings are a great way to experience poetry as entertainment that you watch and listen to.
You may make it a habit to go to live poetry readings regularly so you are exposed to different poets and their reading styles.
4. Discussing Poems with Others
4-1. Share poems with friends or family for discussion.
Sharing poems with others can help you deepen your understanding of them and appreciate them. Choose 1-2 poems that you find interesting, confusing, or engaging. Then, show them to family or friends and ask them what they think. Start a dialogue with those closest to you about the poems and encourage others to share their perspective on the poem.
For example, you may ask questions like, “What do you think of this poem?” or “Do you like the poem? Why or why not?”
4-2. Start a poetry reading group.
Another way to broaden your appreciation of poems is to create a reading group where you read and discuss poetry. Ask friends, family, mentors, peers, and partners to join the group. Make the meetings informal and casual so everyone feels comfortable. Print out different poems for discussion and take turns reading the poems aloud.
You can also ask other members of the group to bring in poems they find interesting or engaging to share.
4-3. Engage in discussions about poetry online.
There is a growing community of readers and poets who discuss poetry online. Use social media platforms like Twitter or Facebook to find other poets or readers interested in poetry. Look up forums online where people share poems and try to analyze them. Join in the conversation so you can learn how to appreciate poems on a deeper level.
You can also subscribe to newsletters from poetry magazines and publications so you can discover new poets or poems that you may not have found on your own.

2,279 | How to Appreciate Someone's Effort and Care | 1. Say “thank you.”
It’s a simple but powerful gesture.
It’s easy to forget to say “thank you,” but those two little words can make a world of difference. Next time someone goes out of their way to do something kind or helpful for you, immediately acknowledge it by thanking them.
It’s never too late to say thank you! If you don’t remember it in the moment, give them a call or thank them the next time you see them.
If plain old “thank you” just doesn’t cut it, try something like, “I’m incredibly grateful to you,” “You’re so kind,” or “Wow, it means so much to me that you did that!”
2. Tell them specifically what you appreciate.
Your gratitude will feel more sincere and meaningful this way.
It feels good to receive thanks, but even better to hear exactly what you did right. Instead of just saying “Thanks” or “I appreciate you” and leaving it at that, go into detail about what the person did and what kind of impact their actions had.
For example, “When I was in the hospital, you really went out of your way to check in on me every day and make sure I had everything I needed. Thank you, that really meant a lot to me.”
3. Express how their actions made you feel.
Gratitude is about recognizing someone’s positive impact on your life.
Open up to the other person about what their care and effort has meant to you. Be sincere and use words that describe your emotions. For instance:
“I feel so grateful for everything you’ve done!”
“Your presence during all this has been extremely comforting.”
“I was really stressed out, but your help has taken a huge load off of my mind.”
4. Write an old-fashioned thank-you note.
Putting your gratitude in writing makes it more powerful.
Plus, the recipient can save your note and read it again any time they need their day brightened! Take a few minutes to put your feelings down in writing. Send the note in the mail, leave it someplace for them to find, or bring it to them in person.
To give your note an extra special, personal touch, you could even design your own thank-you card.
Your letter doesn’t have to be long, but make it sincere and heartfelt. For instance, say something like, “Dear Amina, I can’t begin to thank you enough for all your help with organizing Mom’s retirement party. You helped make it a special evening that she’ll never forget! We’re all so grateful. Best wishes, Soren.”
5. Give them a meaningful gift.
Choose something that reflects who they are or what they mean to you.
The real value of a gift lies in the meaning behind it. To show how much you value someone’s efforts, give them a gift that comes from the heart. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy or expensive.
For instance, you could give them a bouquet of flowers from your own garden, a care package with some of their favorite treats in it, or a framed photo of a meaningful moment you had together.
Include a note with the gift expressing your gratitude. For example, “This is just a little something to say ‘thank you’ for all you’ve done. You’re truly appreciated!”
6. Put in a good word for them with others.
Make sure you’re not the only one who appreciates them.
If it’s appropriate to do so, acknowledge the person’s effort in a public way. Or, mention it to someone influential in their life who is likely to take notice. This can be a great way to make a positive impact on someone’s life while expressing your appreciation at the same time.
For instance, if someone goes above and beyond to help you in a work setting, consider telling their supervisor about it or leaving a positive review and mentioning them by name.
You could also give the person a shoutout on social media. For example, make a post on Facebook saying, “I just want to say how truly grateful I am to my friend Bertie for helping me get through this tough time. He’s been amazing!”
7. Organize a celebration in their honor.
Take them out for dinner or throw a surprise party.
Get together with a few friends, coworkers, or family members who share in your appreciation for this special someone. Work together to plan a celebration that will be truly enjoyable and meaningful for them.
Look for ways to express your appreciation during the gathering. For instance, you might lead the other guests in a toast to the guest of honor, tell a brief story about something they did that you’re grateful for, or present them with a special gift.
For example, you could give a toast and say something like, “We’re all here to celebrate Edith tonight. Without her hard work, this project would never have become a reality!”
8. Return the favor.
Ask them if there’s anything you can do for them.
Or, simply show up and offer to help! For example, you might run some errands for them, help them complete a difficult task, or just be there next time they need moral support.
Say something like, “You were so helpful to me when I was studying for that big exam, and I’d love to return the favor. Is there anything I can do, like helping you proofread your essay?”
Even if the other person rejects your offer for help, it will likely mean a lot to them that you asked!
9. Pay it forward.
Let their kindness become contagious.
Science shows that gratitude is a powerful motivator with the potential to change the world for the better by creating a ripple effect. If you appreciate something that somebody did for you, look for ways to do the same for others!
For instance, if a family member helped you move to a new apartment, make a pledge to do the same next time somebody else you know has to move.
You can make it even more special by telling the person that they motivated you to help others. For instance, “Your generosity has been so inspiring! I wanted to let you know that I just made a charitable donation in your name, to honor what you did for me.”

2,280 | How to Appreciate Speaking in Tongues | 1. Steps
1-1. Realize that speaking in tongues was promised by Jesus and was to accompany belief:
And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name ...they will speak in new tongues. Mark 16:17
1-2. Realize that it is the Holy Spirit who gives the words that you speak and not you yourself:
"And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." Acts 2:4
1-3. Understand that when you speak in tongues you are talking to God:
-- even though occasionally it may be understood by someone as a human language as it was at Pentecost. Its principle purpose is for talking to God. "For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries." (1 Corinthians 14:2)
1-4. Use speaking in tongues to edify yourself or build yourself up spiritually.
This is not a selfish thing, but rather the purpose is that when you are built up in your spirit then you can build up or encourage others. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 1 Corinthians 14:4
1-5. Don't expect to understand what you are saying.
You have control over the volume and the speed at which you speak but not the content, for example as prayer language: For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 1 Corinthians14:14
1-6. When in private, use speaking in tongues as much as you can.
Paul appreciated the benefit of speaking in tongues, that's why he said, I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: 1 Corinthians 14:18
1-7. When in public, it is much better to speak in the language of the region in order to benefit those you are speaking to.
Yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. 1 Corinthians 14:19
1-8. Understand that when you pray in tongues, you give thanks to God:
and that you bless with the Spirit. But again it is mainly meant for private use -- as it does not help others who can't understand what you're saying. (1 Corinthians 14:16-17)
1-9. Be assured that when you speak in tongues, you're not saying anything bad about God or our Lord Jesus Christ:
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians 12:3
"For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent." Zephaniah 3:9
1-10. Understand that speaking in tongues is defined as praying in the Spirit:
We should pray both in the Spirit (tongues) and in the understanding (your natural language). 1 Corinthians 14:14-15
1-11. Pray in the Spirit (tongues) to build yourself up in your faith.
Jude 20
1-12. Understand that speaking in tongues was prophesied by Isaiah in the Old Testament as a sign to the Jews.
(Isaiah 28:11, 1 Corinthians14:21, Matthew 11:28-30)
1-13. Understand that praying in the Spirit is part of the armour of God:
and we are told to put on the whole armour of God Ephesians 6:10 and 18 "Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere." (Ephesians 6:18)
1-14. Understand what it means when the Bible says "Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not.":
(1Corinthians14:22) This is not a contradiction to when Jesus said believers would speak in tongues as a sign. Think about what a sign is. Your hometown may have a sign at the entry saying "Welcome to my town" and also local street signs to help you find your way around; this is very helpful for a first time visitor, but if you live there -- then you no longer need the sign -- because you know that you live there and know your way around. However, the signs remain, and you wouldn't want to take them down. This is similar to speaking in tongues. Once you know you have it, it is no longer a sign -- but for someone about to enter in, it is a sign.
1-15. Remember that when using speaking in tongues, or even talking about it, you should be aiming to edify others:
and that it must be done in the context of love. (1 Corinthians 14:26, 1 Corinthians 13:1)
1-16. Understand that there is a procedure for speaking in tongues in a church meeting:
Don't all speak in tongues at once, but instead only up to 3 people can use speaking in tongues in any meeting and each one should then operate the manifestation of interpretation of tongues, given to us by God . Everything should be done decently and in order (with courtesy for example) and tongues should not be forbidden from meetings. (1 Corinthians 14:23-27 and 39-40)
Tips
Speak clearly when you pray in tongues. Allow the Lord to fully use you. Let your mouth and tongue move as the Lord wants it to move and don't mumble.
If you have not yet spoken in tongues and would like to, then read about how to "receive the Holy Spirit as per The Bible" for more information.
Don't worry if your tongue seems like just stammering or seems over repetitive. (Isaiah 28:11) The more you use and appreciate your prayer language, the more fluent it will become.
Warnings
Speaking in tongues was never meant for preaching The Gospel. Even at Pentecost where the tongues were understood by those listening, they weren't understood by the speakers, and Peter had to explain what was going on in the common language.
The tongues were glorifying God -- but like Paul said, the explanation has to come in the language of understanding so that the others can benefit:
"Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue." 1 Corinthians 14:19

2,281 | How to Appreciate Your Boyfriend | 1. Feeling Appreciative
1-1. Write down the different ways you appreciate your boyfriend.
It doesn’t matter where you write it, and it doesn’t have to be something you share with your boyfriend. Simply write down all of the positive things you can think of when you think of your boyfriend. You can also add to the list over time. When you find yourself feeling less appreciative of your boyfriend, you can refer back to this list.
Think about the ways your life is better because of your boyfriend. For example, you have someone who likes to do lots of things with you, or makes you dinner, or helps you with difficult tasks.
Think about the ways you are a better person because of your boyfriend. Maybe your boyfriend inspires you to be more kind and patient, or maybe he encourages you to accept yourself as you are. There are a multitude of ways you might be improving yourself as a result of your boyfriend’s words and actions.
1-2. Think positively.
Try your best to stop thinking only about the things your boyfriend did that annoyed you. There is research that suggests that, when you simply recognize what you are thankful for, you will be more likely to demonstrate it, and that demonstrating your thankfulness creates a cycle where you and your partner are more likely to be generous.
1-3. Avoid negative talk.
When you’re with other people (e.g. girlfriends, family, etc.) avoid getting dragged into conversations where you complain about your boyfriend. Especially when others are complaining about their own significant others, it can be tempting to join in. However, you should avoid doing this, as your friends will likely validate your complaints leaving you with lots of negative thoughts.
Furthermore, it is really unfair to trash talk your boyfriend behind his back because he isn’t there to defend his words or actions.
1-4. Look at the big picture of your relationship.
Remember the bad times that you have managed to work through, but also remember the best memories you have together. Having a relationship can be challenging, but also something most people strive for. It is not easy to find someone you can maintain a relationship with. Thinking about the history of your relationship can make you feel grateful for you and your boyfriend’s commitment to each other.
2. Showing Appreciation Through Words
2-1. Tell him why you appreciate him.
This may seem obvious, and you may think it is obvious to your partner, but it certainly won’t hurt to explain the reasons why you appreciate him. It may seem silly, but the little things can make all the difference in a relationship.
For example, maybe many of your past boyfriends were always late for dates with you, but your current boyfriend is always on time. Explain to him how good it makes you feel when he shows up on time, and how much you appreciate it.
2-2. Give him compliments.
Find something that you really enjoy in your partner. It can be something physical, something about his personality, or some other talent he may have. Tell him how nice you find that quality.
For example, if you find his eyes to be very handsome, tell him that. Tell him what it is that you like about them.
You can also do this with something he is wearing. For example, if there is a shirt that he looks particularly handsome in, tell him!
When giving compliments, be sincere! This means not over-doing too! While it’s nice to compliment often receiving the same compliment from the same person over and over is tiresome and can even seem insincere. Try to find different aspects of your boyfriend to compliment.
2-3. Become aware of the little things your boyfriend does for you.
It’s easy to take for granted the smaller things your partner does. For example, maybe he always takes out the trash before it overflows. Acknowledge this by saying how much you appreciate that he always takes care of this so you don’t have to.
2-4. Ask him about his day/week.
When you see your boyfriend (either when he comes home or when you see him), ask him to tell you about his day/week. Listen to what he says. Ask questions about the things he says. If he complains about a problem he is having, ask him if you can help him resolve it.
Try not to give unsolicited advice in these conversations. If your boyfriend is complaining about how he dislikes something or doesn’t know what to do about something, sympathize with him first. If you feel that you have something to say about it, ask if he would like your opinion.
3. Showing Appreciation Through Actions
3-1. Listen to your partner.
This may seem common sensical, but when your boyfriend is telling you about his day, about something that is bothering him, or even something that recently made him happy, listen to what he is telling you. Stop what you’re doing, put away any distractions (such as a cell phone) and be involved in the conversation. Ask him follow-up questions, sympathize with his fears and worries, and provide physical comfort when needed. By being a good listener, he will see that he is important enough to you that you listen to what he has to say.
Believe it or not, listening is a skill that you must work to improve!
Be compassionate. If your boyfriend opens up to you about something that he is afraid of or upset about, don’t belittle him. Due to social rules, men often have a difficult time feeling vulnerable. If you belittle him when he has made himself vulnerable, it is unlikely that he will do it again.
3-2. Do something unexpected.
Make him a romantic dinner, or take him out to his favorite restaurant for no reason. Give him a massage. Plan a movie night where you watch his favorite movie. The possibilities are endless, just think of something you know he would enjoy.
The key here is to do it without needing an occasion. For example, while taking him out to dinner on his birthday is very nice, it is best to do this on a regular day. When he asks what the reason is, just explain that you wanted to do something special because he is important to you, and because you appreciate him.
3-3. Support him in his hobbies and passions.
There are likely things that your boyfriend feels passionate about. Do your best to support him in these activities, even if you don’t necessarily enjoy them or understand them.
For example, if he loves watching football, you can support him by finding out what days/times his favorite team is playing, and having the game ready for him on TV. Whatever you decide to do, don’t make him feel guilty or stupid for enjoying it.
If your boyfriend has confided in you that he wants to run a marathon, encourage him! Do some of his training with him, find out what is involved in a marathon, and discuss it with him. Attend the races he signs up for.
3-4. Go on dates.
When you first met your boyfriend, you likely went out on at least a few dates to get to know each other. However, as you spend more and more time with each other (particularly if you live together), it is likely that you will go on fewer and fewer dates. Suggest going on a date together where you can spend time reconnecting with each other.
For example, you might go to the restaurant or coffee shop where you had your first date. You can reminisce with him about how you were feeling on the first date, and your first impression of him on that date.
3-5. Look nice for your boyfriend.
If you have been with your boyfriend for a long time, you likely feel comfortable hanging out in lounge clothes, with your hair undone, and/or without makeup. This is not a bad thing, but it is also nice to make the effort to look nice for your partner too. If you are going on a date, style your hair, put on a nicer outfit, and do your makeup (if you wear it). He will notice the effort you’ve made for him.
Be practical here. If you’re going out for burgers at his favorite restaurant, you shouldn’t wear a ball gown with heavy makeup. Instead, you can wear a nice pair of jeans with a nice blouse. It is important that you style yourself according to the occasion.
3-6. Be affectionate.
When it is appropriate, show your affection for him. Hold his hand, give him a hug, or a gentle kiss. Typically, men enjoy being affectionate just as much as women do.
If you’re in public, don’t go over the top. While what is appropriate depends on where you live, how old you are, who you’re with, etc., there are limits to what is appropriate and what he will feel comfortable with. If you want to show your affection in public, holding his hand or a quick kiss on the cheek are likely to be OK.
Tips
Be sincere! Regardless of how you decide to show your boyfriend appreciation, do it with sincerity! It will be very obvious to him if you are just going through the motions.
Try not to embarrass him in front of his friends! Men tend to tease each other a lot about girlfriends, so doing a lot of cheesy things in front of his friends might add a lot of ammunition to this teasing. Even though your boyfriend might enjoy your attempts, he may also prefer these moments to be more private.
Warnings
Avoid becoming to clingy. It is good to demonstrate your appreciation, but don’t do it in such a way that it makes you appear possessive. He needs his own space too!

If you are going on a date, style your hair, put on a nicer outfit, and do your makeup (if you wear it). He will notice the effort you’ve made for him.\\nBe practical here. If you’re going out for burgers at his favorite restaurant, you shouldn’t wear a ball gown with heavy makeup. Instead, you can wear a nice pair of jeans with a nice blouse. It is important that you style yourself according to the occasion.\\n3-6. Be affectionate.\\nWhen it is appropriate, show your affection for him. Hold his hand, give him a hug, or a gentle kiss. Typically, men enjoy being affectionate just as much as women do.\\nIf you’re in public, don’t go over the top. While what is appropriate depends on where you live, how old you are, who you’re with, etc., there are limits to what is appropriate and what he will feel comfortable with. If you want to show your affection in public, holding his hand or a quick kiss on the cheek are likely to be OK.\\nTips\\nBe sincere! Regardless of how you decide to show your boyfriend appreciation, do it with sincerity! It will be very obvious to him if you are just going through the motions.\\nTry not to embarrass him in front of his friends! Men tend to tease each other a lot about girlfriends, so doing a lot of cheesy things in front of his friends might add a lot of ammunition to this teasing. Even though your boyfriend might enjoy your attempts, he may also prefer these moments to be more private.\\nWarnings\\nAvoid becoming to clingy.

2,282 | How to Appreciate Yourself | 1. Question your own negative thoughts.
Challenge thought patterns that focus only on failures and flaws.
When we struggle with self-esteem, our brain is not always our friend. It takes practice to train your mind into better habits, but the first step is recognising the lies it's telling you:
Recognise that feeling like a failure doesn't make you a failure.
Check the evidence for your conclusions. A friend not responding to your text doesn't mean they hate you, even if the negative thought spiral can make it feel that way.
Realise that positive events deserve your focus too. One negative comment shouldn't stop you from appreciating praise.
2. Respond to your mistakes and failures with compassion.
You don't need to condemn yourself for every failing.
Studies show that responding to your own mistakes with compassion not only helps your self-esteem, but also makes you a more capable and resilient person. Push back against the inner critic that blows things out of perspective:
Very few things in life are "all or nothing". Even if something didn't go the way you had hoped, that doesn't mean nothing good came out of it at all.
One failure does not define you forever. Question that feeling of hopelessness by telling yourself "Things didn't go my way, but that doesn't meant that will always be true. I can't predict the future."
Even when you make mistakes, you deserve kindness. If you're feeling ashamed or self-loathing, allow yourself to watch your favorite show or order comfort food. Don't punish yourself by withholding the things that help you cope.
3. Fight perfectionism with realistic thinking.
Impossible standards are a sure way to lower your self-esteem.
Do you agonise over doing each task perfectly, or procrastinate and give up on tasks because you feel you can't succeed to the right standard? This perfectionism wears down your self-image and interferes with your ability to function. Remind yourself of more realistic perspectives on at least a daily basis, even if you don't really believe them at first:
"It's okay that someone doesn't like me. Literally no one is universally beloved."
"I tried my best, and that's all that anyone can do."
"It's unreasonable to expect perfection. Nothing is perfect, and that's okay."
4. Argue back against negative thoughts.
Turn internal monologues into a two-way conversation.
Research and therapeutic practices show that this can help overcome cruel and unhelpful "inner critics". By responding to negative thoughts in a separate, more supportive voice, you distance those thoughts from your sense of self, and learn to criticise yourself in kinder and more productive ways.
For example, if you find yourself thinking "I'm so awful, everyone hates me", re-imagine that as someone else talking: "You're so awful, everyone hates you."
Speaking as yourself, argue back against this "other voice" (mentally, out loud, or on paper). "My friend Sarah doesn't think I'm awful."
Come up with counterexamples to prove the "inner critic" wrong: "They don't hate me, they sent me birthday cards."
5. Say no when you need to.
Value your own needs instead of overcommitting.
Respect your own boundaries and learn to say no to commitments that aren't worth the stress. The automatic "yes" in response to any request is a form of "people-pleasing": putting everyone else's desires ahead of your own. Here are some ways to make saying no easier:
Stall with "I'll get back to you" or "I'll think on it."
Set hard boundaries, without apologising or making excuses: "I am not available to work on weekends" to a client or "I cannot take calls during the work day" to an emotionally needy friend.
6. Appreciate what you have.
It's okay to be happy with where you're at.
Not appreciating yourself often leads to endless chasing after goals. Maybe you compare yourself to other people and try to "catch up" with them, or maybe you feel there are certain things you're "supposed" to want. Whatever the case, you're not being true to yourself when you fail to appreciate what you already have.
List the things in your life that you are proud of and that make you happy. Cherish these things and don't sacrifice time with them needlessly.
Re-examine your goals in your career, in dating, and in other areas of your life. What kind of life do you genuinely want?
7. Be your authentic self.
Express who you really are instead of who you "should" be.
Do you feel like you have to hide your opinions and personality in order to make other people happy? Get back in touch with your core values to chip away at your self-doubt.
One way to start this process is to identify moments that make you feel inauthentic (either in the past or when they happen to you). Have a dialogue with yourself: what is your "inauthentic" side afraid of? What does your authentic self wish it could do?
Trust your instincts about what scene is right for you, which people are right for you to be with, and what career to pursue. You know yourself best and how to make the most of what you have to offer the world.
8. Improve your body image.
Cut sources of negative body image out of your life.
Reframe poor body image as a mental health issue, not a physical one. Common physical "solutions" like dieting often lead to worse depression and anxiety, and can put you in a weight see-saw that actually harms your health. This isn't a choice between accepting yourself or getting healthy. Learning to view and think about your body without toxic negativity is an important step for your health, both physical and mental.
Unfollow social media feeds and delete apps that make you feel bad about yourself.
Take a break from TV and other media full of idealized bodies.
Avoid people who trigger negative thoughts, or ask them not to bring up triggering topics around you.
Talk to a mental health professional if you are constantly focused on your weight, size, diet, or exercise.
9. Practice self-care that makes you feel present.
Find activities that focus you in the moment.
Even when we have free time, many of us spend it on activities that don't let us properly recharge. Effective self-care makes you more aware of what you're feeling and keeps you focused on that experience. Whether you're into yoga or video games, the activity should suffuse you with positive feeling, whether that feeling is calm, wonder, or excitement.
Getting through a to-do list helps "future you", but it's not helping you recharge now. If you can't relax when there are chores to do at home, go for a walk or get out into nature.
Numbing yourself with passive screen time or alcohol distracts you from yourself and your needs, instead of focusing your attention on them. Schedule an activity with a friend if you have trouble resisting these temptations while alone.
10. Lean on supportive people during crises.
Rely on friends for perspective and encouragement.
Sometimes it feels like a catch-22 to improve your self-esteem when all you have to work with is your self-critical brain. Share your anxieties and even your self-loathing with someone who cares about you, and listen to them share their own perspective (which is usually more accurate and realistic).
If you don't have someone to talk to, try to imagine your struggles in another person. Would you think someone else is lazy in your situation? Or would you be sympathetic?
11. Foster regular connection with others.
Take action against loneliness.
Socialise with other people at least once a week, every week. Connection with others is a critical tool for getting us outside of our own head and reminding us that we are ordinary, imperfect humans just like everyone else.
When circumstances make hangouts difficult, find the next best alternative. A half-hour video chat is a great option when nothing else is feasible.
Even connecting to a stranger on the street can have a remarkable positive effect. In several experiments, commuters on public transit who talked to other passengers enjoyed themselves and felt better afterward—even though many of them described themselves as introverts and predicted they would hate it.
12. Volunteer your time to help others.
Helping others strengthens feelings of belonging and agency.
Both of these effects in turn help with self-esteem. Volunteer at a local program such as a homeless shelter, or make informal arrangements in your social network.
For instance, new parents can always use help with cleaning, cooking, or childcare. Volunteering can even be as simple as spending time with a lonely relative who appreciates your company.
Tips
There are people who can bring you down and people who inspire you to rise above your situation. You make the choice who to spend time with.
Remember that you have much to offer others. If you ever feel like curling up and hiding, think about the talents and abilities you'd be depriving other people of. Those abilities are important to the world. Realize that you are important.

2,283 | How to Appreciate the Art of Film | 1. Watching Many Types of Films
1-1. View films that have been critically acclaimed.
While film appreciation is more than just applauding films that critics have endorsed, critically acclaimed films are acclaimed because they are either groundbreaking or are characteristic of specific styles. Viewing critically acclaimed films, then, is a great way to hone your appreciation for film. Critically acclaimed films may include:
Films that have won awards at the Golden Globes, the Academy Awards, the Cannes Film Festival, the Sundance Film Festival, or similar festivals and award ceremonies around the world.
Films that exemplify a certain type of filmmaking or have pioneered a genre or subject matter. To find these films, run an internet search of your favorite film style or genre, and see what comes up. Read up on that style or genre so you can identify important films.
1-2. Enjoy independent films.
Independent films are films created by filmmakers not associated with major studios. These films usually have lower budgets. While their budgets may be smaller, independent filmmakers can often take on subjects and use styles that are experimental or unique. Some of the most notable independent films include:
’Sideways’
’Mean Streets’
’Roger and Me’
’Grizzly Man’
’City of God’
1-3. Explore different genres you may otherwise ignore.
A genre is a category of film. While most people are familiar with popular genres like action, drama, and horror, there are many different film genres you can explore. Some major film genres that you might overlook include:
Biographical
Film noir – films that portray a dark and pessimistic worldview
Cinema verite -- a style of documentary without a narrator
Musicals
Silent films
Historical films
American "Western" films
1-4. Identify directors that create films you enjoy.
While experiencing different genres may help you gain a wide appreciation, you may gain a lot by identifying directors that create works that move you. Ultimately, directors are largely responsible for the artistic character of a given film. Some notable directors include:
Orson Welles, who is best known for his 'Citizen Kane'.
Agnes Varda, who is best known for her 'Vagabond' and 'La Pointe Courte.'
Akira Kurosawa, who is best known for his 'Rashomon' and 'The Seven Samurai'.
Federico Fellini, who is best known for his 'La Dolce Vita' and 'Amarcord'.
Stanley Kubrick, who is best known for his '2001: A Space Odyssey' and 'A Clockwork Orange'.
Jane Campion, who is best known for her 'The Piano' and 'Sweetie'.
2. Engaging Film Culture
2-1. Join a film club.
Attend a film club in your community. Film clubs will often sponsor screenings of different types of films. You’ll not only be able to watch films, but discuss them with other people interested in the art of film.
You may be able to find a film club through a local college or university.
2-2. Subscribe to film-related periodicals.
There are a range of periodicals you can subscribe to educate yourself about films and filmmaking. These periodicals will contain reviews, and will discuss new films, film theory, and more.
Consider subscribing to internet newsletters, internet magazines, and traditional magazines. Some examples include: 'Film Comment' (www.filmcomment.com) and 'Filmmaker Magazine' (www.filmmakermagazine.com).
2-3. Visit websites devoted to film culture.
Take time to run a web search for different websites on any aspect of film that might interest you. Depending on your specific taste, there may be blogs, message boards, and reddit threads on which you can engage other people with similar interests. Check out:
Sites like www.movieforums.com.
The message boards and user comments on the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com).
Various reddits like TrueFilm, which is dedicated to in-depth discussions of film (www.reddit.com/r/TrueFilm/).
Websites dedicated to film reviews and criticisms like www.slantmagfazine.com/film
2-4. Take a course on films or filmmaking.
Colleges and universities in your region likely offer several courses on film appreciation and filmmaking. By taking these courses, you’ll be able to learn about many aspects of film. In the end, you’ll gain a better appreciation for the art of film. Some courses that might be available to you include:
Introduction to Film Criticism
History through Film
Introduction to Filmmaking
3. Learning About Cinematography and More
3-1. Observe different types of camera shots.
Filmmakers use both static shots and dynamic shots. Static shots are camera shots where the camera remains stationary and does not alter its aim. Dynamic shots are shots where the camera is moving and changing its aim. Filmmakers use both types of shots to convey meaning and to emphasize elements of what they are filming.
With both types of shots, the angle, point of view, and scale may vary. Pay attention to these different elements when watching different films.
3-2. Pay attention to the lighting.
Lighting is one of the most important parts of how filmmakers bring their stories to life. Filmmakers can use lighting to emphasize elements of what they’re shooting or to add mood to the story. There are several major types of lighting:
Back lighting. This is when lighting comes from behind the character or object. This can be used to make something look mysterious or ominous.
Key and fill lighting. This is lighting that is directed at a character or object.
Under-lighting. This comes from below the character or object.
Top lighting. This is where the lighting comes from above. It can be used to create a brighter, happier scene.
Side lighting. This is when lighting is directed at the object from the side.
3-3. Listen to the sound of a film.
The sound of a film can alter your perception of visuals and visual affects tremendously. As a result, your pursuit of film appreciation should be paired with a study of how filmmakers integrate sound into their work. Some things to consider are:
The score
Sound effects
Lack of sound
3-4. Educate yourself about formalism.
Formalist film is when a filmmaker focuses on aesthetics – how things look – more than the content or subject matter. Formalist filmmakers will experiment with a wide variety of things, including lighting, special effects, editing, colors, hues, and more.
Some formalist films include: ‘Trip to the Moon’, ‘Cabinet of Dr. Caligari’, ‘The Blue Angel’, or ‘Golddiggers of 1933’
3-5. Learn about realism.
Realist film is when a filmmaker tries to recreate reality. Realist films will focus on set, location, and details. Realism does not lend itself to distortion or creative camera work. Realist films will often have a candid or natural appearance.
Some realist films include: ‘Arrival of a Train’, ‘The Bicycle Thief’, ‘Breaking the Waves’, or the ‘Blair Witch Project’.

2,284 | How to Approach Watercolor Painting As a Beginner | 1. Painting With A Pan Set Or Tubed Paint
1-1. Fill up two cups of water and put them next to your workstation.
You will need a lot of fresh water if you plan on painting with watercolor paint. Place at least two cups of water next to your workstation so you don’t need to constantly get up and down. Leave one cup of water so you can wash the paint off your brush after you are done with a particular color, and then dip it in the other cup to wet it.
When either cup of water gets murky brown or black you should empty it in your sink and get fresh water.
1-2. Squeeze out the tubes of paint on your palette.
If you are using a pan set, you don’t need to do this step, but you may still want to use a palette so you can mix your colors. Separate the colors into their own zones, and use extra space on your palette to mix the colors. You can create more colors than the ones you bought by mixing them together.
You can get a wooden or plastic palette that you wash after use, or disposable paper palettes that come in a book.
The three primary colors are red, blue, and yellow, and are impossible to achieve by mixing other colors but can be mixed together to create secondary colors. Secondary colors are orange, violet, and green, and can be further mixed to make six tertiary colors.
1-3. Wet your brush in fresh water.
It might be instinct to just dip your brush into the paint, but watercolor requires you to add water first. Make sure your brush is saturated, and dedicate one of your water cups to wet your paint-less brush.
Weaker colors require less water, while richly pigmented paint can handle a lot of water without losing vibrancy.
To get a fine tip on a round brush, hold it in your hand and flick your wrist while it’s wet. You should do this over a paper towel so you don’t get paint and water everywhere.
1-4. Dip your brush into the paint, and create a “puddle” on your palette.
If you are using tubed paint, dip your wet brush into the color you want to use. Then transfer the paint on your brush to the palette in a circular motion. Add more water until you create a puddle of watercolor that can soaked up by your brush. If you’re using a pan, you should see a small puddle form on top of the colors you want to use. Keep adding water to your brush until this happens.
When mixing, create a puddle exclusively for your new color.
1-5. Apply broad strokes and get a feeling for the watercolor.
Go from one side of the paper to the other in a thick line. Tilt your easel or workstation backward so that the watercolor bleeds down, and doesn’t get built up on the surface of your paper. The watercolor should be lighter than the color in your tube paint, and should uniform in tone. If you want to achieve a darker result, apply more paint to the same area.
You can fill in a pencil drawing with water color or just do it free form.
Watercolor may not feel as intricate as other paint like oil or acrylic, but that's what makes it so unique.
Before you try to make a painting of an object, just get the feeling of painting with watercolors first.
1-6. Allow your painting to dry for at least 30 minutes.
Avoid rubbing or touching the surface of your painting because it will smudge. Keep it in a dry area, and wait to see the results. When watercolor fully dries it typically looks lighter than when it’s wet.
Unlike oil paintings, usually watercolors are done in a single sitting.
2. Painting With Watercolor Pencils
2-1. Draw an outline of your painting with a pencil.
You can use a mechanical or traditional no. 2 graphite pencil to do this. Start off with something easy, like a bottle that you have sitting on your desk, or a simple shape like a triangle or square. Avoid a lot of detail because watercolor is a skill you need to develop, and the paint has a tendency to bleed, making your details difficult to paint.
If you’re not confident with your drawing skills the only way to get better is to practice. Start by drawing simple, flat shapes.
Draw other static objects you find in your house to further develop your drawing skills.
If you’re not confident, you can draw lighter lines so you can easily erase mistakes.
Don’t try to scratch at your drawing with the pencil. Use confident and long strokes.
2-2. Color your painting by filling in the shapes with the watercolor pencils.
This will feel a lot like a coloring book. For this, you can use a simple back and forth motion until you’re satisfied with how much color is on the painting.
The color from your pencils will look much darker and more vibrant once wet.
You can give your painting the illusion of depth or shadow by coloring some areas darker than others. Use multiple pencil strokes on a concentrated area of your painting to make it darker.
Try more than one color so you can see how each one blends and interacts.
2-3. Dip your brush into a cup of water.
Make sure to fully saturate your brush with water to make the colors on your painting pop. You should keep two cups of water near your workstation at all times. One for cleaning your brush, and the other for wetting your brush once it's clean.
If you don’t fully rinse your brush in water before switching colors, they will blend together and give your painting a muddy appearance.
2-4. Apply the wet brush to the filled in areas.
Using a back and forth motion, brush over the colors in your painting. Go slow, and try to use long strokes, until your brush needs more water. At this point you should start to have a feeling for how the pencils work, and how your paper reacts to water.
Use a smaller brush for more intricate areas.
To remove paint that's gone out of the lines, paint over unwanted areas with a wet, paint-free brush.
3. Buying Your Equipment
3-1. Buy a size 5-8 round watercolor brush.
Some watercolor artists only use a single brush. The most common brush you’ll use water coloring is a size 5-8, round brush. A round brush has rounded bristles that come to form a fine tip at the end. They are versatile brushes, and can paint detail and larger areas. A good watercolor brush will be able to hold a lot of water and paint.
Sable brushes are the best but most expensive brushes to use for water coloring.
If you’re on a budget, try buying a synthetic brush.
3-2. Purchase watercolor pencils, tubed paint, or a pan set.
Watercolor pencils are a great alternative to real paint if you’re a beginner. They work like regular pencils, but interact with water on paper to create paint. Tube watercolor paint looks similar to acrylic paint and needs to be diluted with water as well. Tubed paint is necessary if you want to paint on larger canvasses, or want to give a deeper and richer feeling to your watercolor paintings. Pan sets on the other hand are hardened paints that come as a box set. Pan sets are great for smaller paintings, or if you’re on the go.
If you are brand new to painting all together you should look into watercolor pencils. If you’ve painted using other mediums however, tubed paint will probably feel more familiar to you.
Pan sets are great for beginners as well.
3-3. Purchase watercolor paper.
There are different varieties, weights, and textures of paper that you can get. Heavier paper is more expensive, but will be able to hold your paint better without warping, while lighter paper might buckle or wrinkle when touching water. Rough paper will take your paint and water well and gives your painting luminosity.
There is students’ and artists’ quality paper. Artist quality is higher grade and will stand the test of time, while student grade paper may yellow over time.
The difference between regular paper and watercolor paper is the level of absorbency. Regular computer paper is too absorbent and will cause your paint to spiderweb.
Some paper is also tinted off white which can give your paintings a different effect.
Tips
Once you are done with painting, you can protect it through varnishing.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Painting With A Pan Set Or Tubed Paint\\n1-1. Fill up two cups of water and put them next to your workstation.\\nYou will need a lot of fresh water if you plan on painting with watercolor paint. Place at least two cups of water next to your workstation so you don’t need to constantly get up and down. Leave one cup of water so you can wash the paint off your brush after you are done with a particular color, and then dip it in the other cup to wet it.\\nWhen either cup of water gets murky brown or black you should empty it in your sink and get fresh water.\\n1-2. Squeeze out the tubes of paint on your palette.\\nIf you are using a pan set, you don’t need to do this step, but you may still want to use a palette so you can mix your colors. Separate the colors into their own zones, and use extra space on your palette to mix the colors. You can create more colors than the ones you bought by mixing them together.\\nYou can get a wooden or plastic palette that you wash after use, or disposable paper palettes that come in a book.\\nThe three primary colors are red, blue, and yellow, and are impossible to achieve by mixing other colors but can be mixed together to create secondary colors. Secondary colors are orange, violet, and green, and can be further mixed to make six tertiary colors.\\n1-3. Wet your brush in fresh water.\\nIt might be instinct to just dip your brush into the paint, but watercolor requires you to add water first. Make sure your brush is saturated, and dedicate one of your water cups to wet your paint-less brush.\\nWeaker colors require less water, while richly pigmented paint can handle a lot of water without losing vibrancy.\\nTo get a fine tip on a round brush, hold it in your hand and flick your wrist while it’s wet. You should do this over a paper towel so you don’t get paint and water everywhere.\\n1-4. Dip your brush into the paint, and create a “puddle” on your palette.\\nIf you are using tubed paint, dip your wet brush into the color you want to use. Then transfer the paint on your brush to the palette in a circular motion. Add more water until you create a puddle of watercolor that can soaked up by your brush. If you’re using a pan, you should see a small puddle form on top of the colors you want to use. Keep adding water to your brush until this happens.\\nWhen mixing, create a puddle exclusively for your new color.\\n1-5. Apply broad strokes and get a feeling for the watercolor.\\nGo from one side of the paper to the other in a thick line. Tilt your easel or workstation backward so that the watercolor bleeds down, and doesn’t get built up on the surface of your paper. The watercolor should be lighter than the color in your tube paint, and should uniform in tone. If you want to achieve a darker result, apply more paint to the same area.\\nYou can fill in a pencil drawing with water color or just do it free form.\\nWatercolor may not feel as intricate as other paint like oil or acrylic, but that's what makes it so unique.\\nBefore you try to make a painting of an object, just get the feeling of painting with watercolors first.\\n1-6. Allow your painting to dry for at least 30 minutes.\\nAvoid rubbing or touching the surface of your painting because it will smudge. Keep it in a dry area, and wait to see the results. When watercolor fully dries it typically looks lighter than when it’s wet.\\nUnlike oil paintings, usually watercolors are done in a single sitting.\\n2. Painting With Watercolor Pencils\\n2-1. Draw an outline of your painting with a pencil.\\nYou can use a mechanical or traditional no. 2 graphite pencil to do this. Start off with something easy, like a bottle that you have sitting on your desk, or a simple shape like a triangle or square. Avoid a lot of detail because watercolor is a skill you need to develop, and the paint has a tendency to bleed, making your details difficult to paint.\\nIf you’re not confident with your drawing skills the only way to get better is to practice. Start by drawing simple, flat shapes.\\nDraw other static objects you find in your house to further develop your drawing skills.\\nIf you’re not confident, you can draw lighter lines so you can easily erase mistakes.\\nDon’t try to scratch at your drawing with the pencil. Use confident and long strokes.\\n2-2. Color your painting by filling in the shapes with the watercolor pencils.\\nThis will feel a lot like a coloring book. For this, you can use a simple back and forth motion until you’re satisfied with how much color is on the painting.\\nThe color from your pencils will look much darker and more vibrant once wet.\\nYou can give your painting the illusion of depth or shadow by coloring some areas darker than others. Use multiple pencil strokes on a concentrated area of your painting to make it darker.\\nTry more than one color so you can see how each one blends and interacts.\\n2-3. Dip your brush into a cup of water.\\nMake sure to fully saturate your brush with water to make the colors on your painting pop. You should keep two cups of water near your workstation at all times. One for cleaning your brush, and the other for wetting your brush once it's clean.\\nIf you don’t fully rinse your brush in water before switching colors, they will blend together and give your painting a muddy appearance.\\n2-4.

2,285 | 16 Proven Strategies for Approaching Women | 1. Look for open body language.
Go over if she’s smiling, making eye contact, and playing with her hair.
These are signs she might be interested in you. On the other hand, you might switch your attention to someone else if she’s got her arms folded across her chest or seems to be avoiding your eyes. In that case, she might not be in the mood to talk right now.
People-watching can help you learn to read body language. Watch how people move and interact with each other to get a feel for how body language works.
2. Move into her line of sight.
Make yourself seen so you don't accidentally sneak up on her.
Move into her eye line, even if you’re just in her periphery. Give her time to notice you there before you go over to talk to her.
3. Relax your body so you look confident.
Open body language also makes you appear attractive to other people.
You’ll seem casual and confident, which are desirable qualities. Take a deep breath and release all the tension from your body. Additionally, keep your arms at your side and smile so you seem welcoming.
In addition to smiling, pick out an outfit that fits into the place where you’re going. Colors like earth tones, blue, and yellow make people feel comfortable talking to you, so they’re great options. As you move about the room, angle your body toward people you’re interested in talking to and mirror their gestures.
4. Approach her from the side.
Coming up beside her feels more casual and friendly.
She’ll probably feel more relaxed, which will make it easier for you to talk to her. Walk a little away from her and come back if necessary to get into a good position. Then, slowly walk over.
Never approach a woman from behind because it’ll make her uncomfortable. She may even be startled.
5. Introduce yourself.
Smile, tell her your name, and ask how she’s doing.
Say, “How’s your night going?” or “Having a good time?” Really listen to her response so she knows you’re interested. She’s probably going to ask how you are in response, so say something positive like:
“I’m doing great.”
“My night’s amazing.”
“I’m having a terrific time, especially since I met you.”
6. Talk about what’s going on around you.
Start a conversation by mentioning something from your environment.
It’s so hard to know what to say in these situations, but you can use your surroundings for inspiration. Things like the menu, music that’s playing, or why you’re there make excellent topics. You could also comment on the weather or the people around you.
“I love this song. What about you?”
“Your drink looks tasty. What did you order?”
“What would you recommend off the menu?”
“Can you believe this rain we’ve been having?”
“It feels like everyone else here knows each other. Maybe we should get acquainted.”
7. Tell her a joke.
Make her laugh
Laughter actually relieves stress, so it can put you both at ease. Learn a few jokes in advance so you can dazzle her with your sense of humor. You might try:
“Jokes about steak are medium, rarely well done.”
“What kind of tea is hard to swallow? Reality.”
"Why do seagulls fly over the sea? Because if they flew over the bay they’d be bagels, and bagels can’t fly."
“Why do mushrooms always get invited to parties? Because they’re such fungi!”
8. Ask her a question and really listen.
People enjoy talking about themselves.
Plus, she’ll like that you’re interested in getting to know her. Ask her an open-ended question to keep the conversation going. She’ll give long answers or ask you a question if she’s interested in talking. If she gives you short answers, she’s probably not in the mood to talk, so it’s best to move onto someone else.
“What’s your favorite band?”
“What do you do in your spare time?”
“What was the last book you read?”
“What was the last movie you watched?”
“What’s your favorite item to order off the menu?”
“How often do you come here?”
9. Compliment her.
Give her an unexpected compliment so you’ll stand out.
Women typically get a lot of attention for their looks, so compliment her on her style or mannerisms. On the other hand, steer clear of comments about her body because they might make her uncomfortable.
“This color looks great on you.”
“Those earrings are so unique.”
“Your eyes caught my attention from across the room.”
“Your laugh is so melodic.”
“Your confidence is magnetic.”
10. Be direct if you’re feeling confident.
Tell her you’re interested.
It’s scary to put yourself out there, but it might be the best way to get a date. If you’re up to it, just be honest about how you feel. Hopefully, she’ll be intrigued and want to get to know you more.
"You're probably used to this but I'm new to it, so here it goes: I don't know you, but I'd like to. I think you're beautiful...and who doesn't want more of that in their life?"
“I saw you from across the room and knew I had to meet you. Would you be interested in getting to know each other?”
“I just wanted to tell you that you’re lovely tonight. Can I buy you a drink?”
11. Make sure she looks comfortable.
Eye contact, smiling, and leaning toward you are signs she likes you.
Keep talking to her as long as she seems okay with it. If you notice her eyes darting away or she folds her arms across her chest, it might be time to end the conversation and move on. In that case, thank her for her time and move on to someone new.
“Thanks for your advice. I’ll let you get back to your drink.”
“I appreciate your time. Have a good night.”
12. Exchange phone numbers.
Ask for her number or offer her yours.
Giving her your number puts the ball in her court so she can decide if she wants to talk to you again. She’ll text or call if she’s into you. If you don’t hear from her, she might not be interested, she’s not dating right now, or she’s already taken. In that case, focus on someone else who caught your eye.
“Can I get your number?”
“Do you wanna exchange digits?”
“Here’s my number.”
“Text me sometime.”
13. Ask her out for coffee or drinks.
Tell her you’re interested in getting to know her.
Then, invite her out on a specific day to a place you’ve chosen in advance. Keep it simple by going on a traditional first date to a place like a coffeehouse.
“You seem really cool. Do you want to meet for coffee this Saturday?”
“I’d really like to get to know you more. Wanna get drinks on Friday night?”
“I’d like to continue this conversation over lunch one day this week. Want to meet at Cozy Coffee House?”
14. Take rejection in stride.
While it hurts, rejection isn’t personal.
There are tons of reasons why a woman might turn you down that have nothing to do with you. She might be in a relationship, or perhaps she’s just not dating right now. It’s also possible she had a bad day and just isn’t in the mood to meet anyone. If she’s not interested, kindly make your exit and focus on someone else.
“I totally understand. Have a great night.”
“Enjoy your evening.”
“I appreciate your reply. Have a nice day.”

2,286 | How to Approach Women in Bars | 1. Starting Up a Conversation With a Woman
1-1. Make eye contact with the girl you want to talk to.
A great way to let someone know that you’re interested in them is by making eye contact with them. Make sure not to stare for a long period of time, or it may come off as creepy. She may not notice you the first time around, but don’t get discouraged. Make sure you’re in her view, and try to catch her when she’s looking in your direction.
If a girl makes eye contact with you but her face remains rigid, confused, disgusted, or expressionless, there’s a good chance she’s not the one to approach.
If a girl makes eye contact with more than 2 or 3 times in a row, there’s a good chance she’s interested in you.
You could also wave to her from across the room.
Research shows that those who are in love tend to stare into each other's eyes for longer periods of time.
1-2. Smile, and see if she smiles back.
All smiles are not created equal. The kind of smile you’re looking for is a genuine smile that uses the muscles in her eyes and her mouth, otherwise known as a Duchenne smile.
Some women just smile at others to seem non-threatening or polite, not as an invitation to talk.
People smile more often when they see someone they find attractive.
Smiling will also make you more approachable.
1-3. Read her body language.
Are her arms crossed, is she avoiding eye contact, or pointing away from you? These are all signs that she is not interested. A woman who is interested in engaging you will often have a straighter posture, with her knees pointed in your direction.
If the girl preens or touches her hair, this is also a sign that she’s into you.
1-4. Walk up to her in a non-threatening manner and introduce yourself.
Never approach a girl from behind or engage in physical contact when you don’t know her. This can disgust them, and ruin your chances of talking to them for the rest of the night. Instead, approach her so she can see you, and maintain a smile as you walk up to her.
Do not walk directly towards her like you have a mission. Instead walk in her direction, but make approaching her seem natural and not forced.
Things to say include, “Hi,” “Hey,” “Are you having fun?,” or “I saw you at the other end of the bar.”
You do not need an elaborate pick-up line, and some girls even find them corny.
You could say something fun, like "I come here for the world's greatest vibes. What brings you here?"
Try cracking a joke! You could say, "I love your dress! I was actually going to wear that same dress tonight too, but that would've been awkward."
1-5. Ask her if she’ll let you buy her her favorite drink.
A good excuse to begin a conversation is to talk over drinks. It’s also a friendly gesture that she will appreciate. Always make sure to ask her what kind of drink she wants before buying one.
If she refuses and seems uncomfortable, you should walk away.
If the girl takes the drink but then doesn’t seem interested in talking, you need to accept that. Not all girls want to talk.
1-6. Sit next to her and try to find common interests.
Take a seat next to her if she accepts the drink and it seems like she wants to talk. Try to find common interests. You can pull from your surroundings like the city and town you’re in, the bar you’re patronizing, or a local sports team. Try to figure out the type of person she is, and talk about what she’s interested in.
1-7. Practice the technique wherever you go.
Practicing these techniques outside of a bar or club situation is ideal because it will acclimate you to doing it in low-stress situations. Try out this method at the grocery store, shopping mall, or in school in order to meet new friends.
Trying it out in a low-stress situation to a woman that you aren't interested in will allow you to practice without fearing rejection.
2. Approaching a Woman Out With Friends
2-1. Introduce yourself to the group of girls.
If you see that a group of girls are out together, it’s important that you recognize all of them and treat them equally. Even if you only like one girl in the group, ignoring or dismissing her friends will often make them angry at you or make you seem like a jerk.
It's okay to change who you target if you meet someone more interesting or attractive that's in the group. Just make sure that you aren't sending signals to more than one girl or problems may arise.
Some good opening lines include, “Hey girls, how’s everything going tonight?" or "Are you all having fun?”
Another good way to open, is to ask them their opinions on a relevant topic that you have debated with a friend. Examples include “Me and my friend were debating over whether the new Kanye album was as good as his old stuff. What do you girls think?" or "My buddy thinks that vodka is the best liquor, but I think whiskey is. What do you girls think?”
Shaking hands is a good way to make physical contact with new girls that you meet, but some may even be receptive to hugging. If they go for the hug, reciprocate it.
You could make a joke and say, "My friend thought you guys looked mean, and said that I shouldn't say hi. But you know what? I think I'm gonna say hi."
"Settle a bet for me and my friend" is another great way to start a conversation. Then, you can make up just about anything to get her to engage.
2-2. Be the life of the party and buy her and her friends drinks.
If you can make a good impression on her friends, it will make you look a lot better to the girl that you have your eyes on. Also, in some circles it is considered tacky to buy one girl a drink but then ignore her friends.
If you don’t have enough money to buy everyone drinks, you can offer to buy them songs on the jukebox.
Refrain from being mean to any of her friends.
2-3. Remember to pay special attention to her, but don’t isolate her.
As much as you want to engage her friends and keep them happy, you also don’t want her to start thinking you’re not interested in her. Try to go out of your way to pay her special attention, but never do it in an aggressive way.
When you are talking to her friends, make sure to compliment her, specifically, in a non-sexual way.
If there is a lull in the conversation, or people break off into individual groups, take your chance to speak with her one on one.
3. Building Up Confidence and Keeping it Natural
3-1. Expect only to have a fun night out.
For those that suffer from social anxiety, it might be therapeutic to meet new people. However, expectations can create additional stress because you’re striving for an expected outcome.
Instead of ruminating on the things you need to do when you go out, try to stay loose and have fun. Concentrate on your own happiness, not approaching women.
For some people, hyper-social situations like bars or clubs overwhelm them. If you are like this, then try joining a hiking group or a local sports club before diving into the bar scene.
Never expect to get intimate when going out and meeting girls.
3-2. Don’t take rejection hard and don't get discouraged.
Not everyone will want to talk to you, and that’s a reality that you need to embrace. Extenuating circumstances like an existing significant other, may cause the woman to not want to speak with you.
You must also realize that rejection is typically not a reflection of who you are as a person.
3-3. Feel confident that being yourself is good enough.
Even though it’s tempting to pretend, women can pick up on whether someone is genuine or confident. Don’t try to compensate for your personality by talking about things that aren’t true, and be confident in who you are, whether it’s positive or negative.
Having positive thinking and keeping a positive self image will help you build confidence. If you don’t think you’re a great person, just think about all the things that you’ve done to bring happiness to other people.
Breathing slower and relaxing your neck and shoulder muscles can also help you with your confidence.
3-4. Don't force things or feel defeated.
There will be some nights where no women you approach will be receptive to talking to you. In these cases, don't get desperate and start going for whoever is in front of you. Instead, relax, and realize that you won't be successful every single night.
Instead of getting upset, go home and do something you really like or get take-out at your favorite restaurant.
Never insult anyone if you're having a hard time talking to women. This will only make you come off as a jerk, and will likely ruin your chances of talking to a woman for the rest of the night.
3-5. Don’t go to the bar if you’re broke.
If you don’t have the money to spend, you’re not going to feel confident throughout the night and you’re going to be stressed about spending money. If you don’t have the cash, then just figure out another social event you can do that doesn’t require funds.
You can meet people at the grocery store, park, or school if you have a limited budget.
Don’t spend your money on the bar if you have responsibilities you’re struggling to maintain like rent or loan payments.

2,287 | How to Approach Your Crush | 1. Making Your Move
1-1. Give yourself a pep talk.
Before walking right up like a bundle of nerves, take a moment to collect yourself. Breathe slow and deep to the count of ten to help yourself relax. Remind yourself of your best qualities and make those the ones you display to your crush. What’s the worst that could happen? If you don’t talk to him or her, you’ll regret it, and that first spark could just be the start of something fantastic.
Which of your characteristics are you most proud of? Can you get along with anyone? Are you athletic? Do you have a good sense of humor? Keep these traits in mind when working up your nerve to talk to your crush, and give them the chance to get to know the good things about you.
It’s possible that you feel intimidated by your crush if they’re extremely attractive or popular, but for all you know they may feel the same way about you.
1-2. Wait until the right time.
Seeing your crush surrounded by his or her friends might make you even more nervous. Try to find a time when they’re alone and nearby when you can start a conversation without having to worry about being interrupted or met with other judging eyes.
Look for your crush between classes or another time when they’re less likely to be with a big group.
1-3. Act natural.
Create a scenario that will give you an opportunity to make the introduction. If your crush drops something you might return it to them, for instance, or if you see him or her talking to a mutual friend you could use the connection as an icebreaker. Taking advantage of little openings will keep you from appearing desperate or having to walk up and start talking out of the blue.
Be enthusiastic, but keep your cool. Don’t let yourself appear overly excited.
If you have a class with your crush, ask them to clarify the details of a homework assignment as way of opening communication.
1-4. Just do it.
Chances are, that anxious feeling you get before talking to your crush is never going to disappear entirely, so at some point you’ll have to just take a deep breath and go for it. Seize your opening when it presents itself. Start by introducing yourself if you haven’t met, or by asking a question to get them engaged if you’re already acquainted. Getting the conversation started is usually the scariest part, so once that’s out of the way you can carry on the interaction at ease.
Boldness often pays off. You won’t know if the person you have a crush on is also interested in you unless you talk to them.
Make peace with the idea of rejection. Your crush will probably be happy to talk to you once you get the ball rolling, but in the event that things don’t go as you hoped, just shrug it off. It’s always better to try and strike out than live with never knowing with what might have happened.
2. Keeping Up the Conversation
2-1. Do some mental preparation.
Think about what you should say to your crush before you get them talking. Have a certain topic in mind that you’d like to discuss, and be prepared to answer any question he or she might ask about you. That way, you’ll be primed and ready to make a good impression during your first interaction, and you’ll have less chance of being caught off guard.
Be ready for whatever turns your first meeting may take. Your crush might be tired, busy, distracted or nervous, and these moods can affect the way he or she comes off.
2-2. Talk about them.
One surefire tactic for keeping someone that you’re talking to for the first time interested is focusing the conversation on them. Typically, it’s easier for people to talk about themselves because they already know what to say. Show an interest in your crush and let them talk about themselves, relating to them when you can. This will also give you a chance to get to know a little more about them. If you know a lot about them you would know what he/she is interested in. Maybe even give them gifts. So lets say they are into cars - maybe get them a steering wheel cover or a shirt with their favorite type of car on it. Also, make sure you are never rude/mean to them. You want them to know you're a nice person.Be yourself!
Ask questions. It’ll make your crush feel like you have a genuine interest in them, and it can also take some of the pressure of thinking of things to say about yourself.
You should talk about yourself, of course, but don't steal the floor entirely. Try to keep things even, or let him or her take over and guide the conversation.
2-3. Highlight your common interests.
Listen when your crush talks about his or her hobbies, interests and preferences and see where they overlap with your own. The more things you discover you have in common, the more the two of you will have to talk about. Finding common ground could even help create an opportunity for a date or more casual hangout later on.
Some good topics for finding out what you have in common are what classes you’re taking, movies, music, sports, family and your plans for the weekend.
2-4. Know when to break away.
Keep track of how long you’ve been talking to your crush to make sure you’re not holding them up, and pay attention to when they seem to be losing interest. Unless you really hit it off, your first couple of interactions might not last too long, and it’s better if you can lend yourself a sense of mystique and leave them wanting more. Excuse yourself with a phrase like “talk to you later” or “text me sometime” (you'll want to make sure they have your number first) to let your crush know that you want to talk to them again.
Get a feel for natural lulls in the dialogue and look for an opportunity to make a smooth exit when things start to slow down, just as you made a smooth entrance.
Don’t ramble on and on. The last thing you want to do is bore your love interest.
3. Putting Your Best Self Out There
3-1. Be confident.
You won’t get anywhere if you don’t have faith in yourself. Stand tall. Let your crush see the things that make you interesting and unique. You should prepare to approach him or her with the attitude that you’ll love and respect yourself no matter the outcome. Confidence is contagious—your crush will pick up on your self-assured manner and know that you’re someone worth being around.
Sometimes you just have to fake it until you make it. If you’re having trouble mustering the gumption to walk up and say hello, tell yourself that you’ve done this kind of thing a thousand times. It may just make you a little cooler under pressure.
There’s a difference between being confident and being arrogant. Stick with the former. Try not to boast or act like you’ve got an over-inflated opinion of yourself. This can be just as off-putting as being shy, if not more so.
3-2. Smile.
Don’t forget to smile, even if you’re a nervous wreck. Smiling can help put you at ease and make you more comfortable, and a friendly face will make you more approachable to others. Keep in mind that your crush may be just as apprehensive about talking to you as you are about talking to them, so greeting them with a smile will break the tension right away.
Smiling can be tricky when you’re especially nervous. Try a light smirk with your eyes open slightly wider than normal to signal enthusiasm, and grin bigger to show a little bit of teeth if your crush does something cute or amusing.
3-3. Freshen up.
Aside from your demeanor, you appearance will also be one of the first things your crush notices. For this reason, it’s a good idea to make sure you’re presentable before making your move. Bad breath, unkempt hair and messy clothes can all be deal-breakers if you want to make a good impression. Give yourself a look over in the mirror before you enter your crush’s personal space.
Tick off a short mental checklist to make sure that your teeth are brushed, you’re wearing deodorant and your clothes and hair are clean and well-groomed.
3-4. Keep a positive attitude.
The most important thing to remember about approaching your crush is that it’s the effort that counts most, not the result. Rejection is a fact of a life, something that everybody has to deal with at one time or another. The excitement and satisfaction of finally talking to that special someone should be bigger than the fear of being turned down.
It’s not the end of the world if the guy or girl you’ve got your eye on doesn’t return your interest. It may sting a little at first, but don’t let yourself become discouraged.
Even if you get turned away while trying to strike up a conversation with your crush, you may still reach a breakthrough in building the confidence you need to try again next time.
Tips
Dress to impress; wear clothes that look good and make you comfortable.
If you're too nervous to approach your crush for the first time alone, casually say hi to him or her while you're walking with a friend.
Always be yourself. Show your crush the friendly and interesting side of your personality rather than acting like someone you're not.
Warnings
Take care to eliminate any unpleasant bad breath or body odor. Bad hygiene could blow your shot before you get your first words out.
If your crush clearly isn't interested in talking to you, don't pester them. At least you gave it your best shot.
It might be better not to come on too strong if your crush is already seeing somebody. You don't want to cause any unnecessary drama.

2,288 | How to Approach Your Parents About Wearing Diapers for Bedwetting | 1. Starting the Conversation
1-1. Figure out what you're going to say.
It's a good idea to think about what you're going to say ahead of time. That way, you'll be prepared for the conversation, and you won't be as nervous when it comes time to talk to your parents.
It's a good idea to think about what you're feeling and how that can help you talk about what you want. For instance, if you're tired of wetting the bed, you may be feeling frustrated or embarrassed, and that can help you talk about why you want to wear diapers.
1-2. Have a practice discussion.
Once you've figured out what you want to say, it's time to figure out how you want to say it. One way to do that is to practice the conversation. Take some time to write out exactly what you want to say, and try saying it out loud to a mirror.
Start with the topic at hand: "Mom and Dad, I still wet the bed, and I'd like to talk to you about wearing diapers."
Move on to your feelings. You want to talk about your feelings and how that affects what you're saying: "It's both frustrating and embarrassing to wake up wet in the middle of the night. I think diapers will help with this problem."
1-3. Choose the right time.
You don't want to talk to your parents when they're rushing out the door or trying to cook dinner. Rather, you need to pick a time when they have a chance to actually sit down and listen to you. The best way to figure out a good time is to simply ask them.
You could say, "Hey, Mom, I'd like to have a serious discussion with you. When can we sit down and talk?"
Don't put it off. Because you may feel embarrassed, you may be tempted to put off the conversation. However, the sooner you talk to your parents about it, the quicker you can get to a solution, such as wearing diapers to keep you dry at night.
1-4. Bring up the subject.
You may want to get around saying it by bringing up other topics or going about it in a roundabout way. However, it's best to just let your parents know what's wrong, so you can get the help you need. If you aren't clear and direct about what you want, your parents may not understand.
You could say, "You may or may not know that I still wet the bed. It's become more of a problem for me. I'd like to start wearing diapers to help take care of the problem."
2. Communicate Effectively
2-1. Be open and direct.
Explain your reasoning. If you've been hiding the fact that you're wetting the bed, you may need to give a little bit of explanation. Just let them know what's been going on so they can understand your request better.
You could say, "It's really embarrassing for me to talk about, but I'm still wetting the bed 2 to 3 times a week. I've been hiding it from you because I was so embarrassed."
2-2. Stay calm.
It can be hard to stay calm when you're embarrassed or upset. You may be tempted to start ranting or stomp off to the other room if the conversation doesn't go your way. However, staying calm is a much better way to get to the goal you want.
It's okay if you do get upset. The important thing is not to take it out on your parents. It's fine to cry or feel sad, but don't yell, scream, or argue with your parents. It won't help the situation.
If you feel yourself getting upset, try counting to 10 in your head or taking a few deep, calming breaths.
2-3. Speak clearly.
Try not to run your words together or mumble to yourself. You don't need to be embarrassed, and speaking clearly will help you get your point across. Try not to be embarrassed at all. Lots of kids and teens have this problem, so you're not alone. Plus, your parents probably already have an idea about what's going on, and they'll be happy to help you find a solution like wearing diapers.
To speak clearly, speak up, and try to say your words slowly and distinctly. Look at your parents so they have your facial expressions to help understand what you're saying.
Your parents might look worried, but that's not because they think what you're asking is wrong. Rather, they're probably just trying to figure out how to help you.
2-4. Actively listen.
Your parents need a chance to ask you questions and to talk about what's going on. Don't just override what they're trying to say. Listen to their questions and concerns, and answer anything they ask you as honestly as you can.
For example, your parents may say, "Why haven't you told us about this earlier?" You could say, "I was too embarrassed."
Your parents may also say, "Why do you think diapers are the best solution? What other solutions do you think might be good?"
2-5. Work together to find a solution.
Diapers may be a good solution for you. However, your parents may have other options, as well. It's best to keep an open mind about what will work best for you. Work with your parents to talk about the best way to solve your problem.
If your parents seem to be saying they don't think diapers are a good option, ask them what else they suggest. You could say, "You seem to think diapers aren't right. What else can we use instead?"
3. Dealing With Bedwetting
3-1. Reduce liquids at night.
One factor in bedwetting is how much you drink before bed. If you're a deep sleeper and you drink a lot of water or other liquids before bed, your kidneys may produce more urine than is appropriate for the size of your bladder, meaning you wet the bed. Try to cut back on drinking liquid for a couple of hours before bed.
3-2. Always use the bathroom before you go to bed.
Another thing you can do to help is to always make sure to go to the bathroom before you go to sleep. Emptying your bladder before you go to bed can reduce the likelihood of going to the bathroom while you're asleep.
3-3. Try a bathroom alarm.
Set your alarm, or have your parents do it, to wake you up in the middle of the night. Aim for waking up twice, so that you can get up and go the bathroom, reducing your risk of wetting the bed. You can also ask your parents to wake you up before they go to sleep if they go to bed later than you do.
3-4. Try other options to keep the bed dry.
While diapers are one option, another option is plastic pants (usually with cloth diapers) or pants that have a waterproof exterior. These pants can be a good option because they keep the bed dry, and they also signal to you when you need to get up. It can help train you to figure out when you should be getting up in the night.
A third option is bed pads. These pads come in washable and disposable forms, and they protect the bed from any wetness. However, your clothes will still get wet if you're not wearing plastic pants or diapers.
3-5. Ask your parents to take you to the doctor.
Your doctor can help you figure out if there's something causing your bedwetting. If you can solve the problem medically, then you don't need to wear diapers. Don't be embarrassed to talk to your doctor. That is what your doctor is there for, and many people have the same issue.
Your doctor may feel differently about diapers than you do. Some people feel diapers make the issue worse because you're not actually changing anything about the bedwetting. However, if wearing diapers makes you more comfortable and your parents agree, then it is what you should do.
Understand the problem may fade away on its own. While you still should see a doctor, it's important to know that many kids and teens grow out of this problem. Therefore, you may find that it fixes itself on its own, and you won't wet the bed anymore as you get older.
Tips
Many different types of diapers are available to help you manage your bedwetting, but two kinds of diapers are particularly well suited for bedwetting: disposable briefs with tape tabs and pin-on cloth diapers covered with plastic pants.
The articles Choose Bedwetting Diapers for an Older Child or Teenager and Choose Pin‐On Cloth Diapers for Older Children and Teenagers With Bedwetting Problems talk about these types of diapers in greater detail, including the advantages of using them for bedwetting.

2,289 | How to Approach a Bee Infestation | 1. Understanding Bees
1-1. Simply observe the bees and think first.
Careful observation is more likely to make sense of what is happening.
1-2. Understand why bees swarm.
When bees swarm, it's so their colony can spread out into new areas. This means they minimize the risk that a single disaster will wipe out their gene pool at one location, and they increase their chances of survival. Nature benefits because this also increases the number of bees for pollination. There are also other reasons, but this is the main one.
1-3. Beware of "feral bees."
Bees not under human management, so called “feral bees”, cross breed and benefit from more defensive characteristics rather than increased productivity, therefore they tend to become more dangerous. Their poison is often more severe, and they more easily get angry. When they are difficult to handle, they can’t be checked for disease, and they can carry parasites that spread to healthy hives.
1-4. Protect the "good" bees from the "bad."
It's really important that we protect the managed bees that we rely on for pollination and honey from bees that can easily bring serious problems, such as parasites or disease. It often means that feral bees need to be removed by someone with proper knowledge to do this safely. If he can't safely check them for disease, its better that they are put down. He may need a licence to use chemicals safely, to do this job. The best chemicals for the job are virtually non toxic to humans, anyway.
1-5. Don't put this job in the hands of an amateur, whether that's you or an untrained "professional"!
Safe and careful intervention is essential for bee eradication that both prevents infestation and protects healthy bee populations. Further information follows.
2. Dealing with Bees on Your Property
2-1. Pay attention to what the bees are doing.
Bees can show you why they do what they do, so you can work out how to change the circumstances that suit them. Changing their environment may discourage them from being there. Consider how they are controlling the air flow in the space they have chosen, maybe if this was increased, the space would be less appealing? Sealing up their entrance certainly won't.
2-2. Consider why bees might be in your walls - and what to do about it.
When bees locate themselves in a wall cavity, it's because they can control the updraft of the air in there. This helps them keep their brood at an even temperature, by speeding it up or slowing it down. In the right wall, they can sometimes really thrive!
They will usually choose a brick veneer wall on the warm side of a building, because it heats up and cools down differently to how a much denser wall would. The bees calculate this thermal lag, and can take action to benefit their brood. If the sun is concealed by a cloud, they will know that the wall might cool down in a particular time "lag", and they can prepare to increase the temperature around their brood.
You can make the cavity less appealing by opening the bottom and the top of the wall so more air rushes through and they can’t control the air flow. This is a non-chemical solution.
2-3. Try to deal with bee problems quickly.
If the bees have been established for some time, they will be reluctant to leave their brood. The pollen and honey they have stored to feed the brood, will attract cockroaches and in Australia, an insect called “Small Hive Beetle” (SHB, or sp. Athena Tumida). Quite often, the SHB will cause the honeycomb to break down into a vile, putrid slime, so its wise to eliminate the bees before SHB gets established.
2-4. Call in a professional to eradicate infestations.
This should be done by blowing a professional Permethrin-based powder into the cavity so well that it dusts all surfaces. This chemical is low toxicity and safe for humans. The bees will then find the cavity repellent, and not nest there.
The job should be done by someone with equipment to blow the powder in at high pressure so it circulates thoroughly. This can be done from a safe distance with a long pipe thin enough to fit into the hole that the bees use as an entrance.
Eventually, about three months later when the powder has lost some of its power, a small moth (sp.galleria Mellonella, or Wax Moth) will get in and eat up the remaining wax, leaving the cavity empty as it used to be, without significantly damaging the building. Wax moths are everywhere. The powder will also kill the cockroaches.
2-5. Know where to go for help.
As mentioned, safe and sensible bee eradication requires professional help. You might find such a person by consulting your local Council, Wildlife Rescue Service or Department of Agriculture.
3. Avoiding the Pitfalls
3-1. Do not use liquids, aerosol sprays, or other chemical types which may create new problems.
Aerosols will kill some bees, but cause the rest to be confused and spread out in the wall so the problem becomes more extensive.
3-2. Do not block up the holes that the bees used for access.
If new bees come around, they need to be able to determine that the cavity is repellent, so they give up and go away. If they can't get in to where the powder is, they become more determined and will enter the wall further away, and walk along leaving the scent marker as they go. A new colony might set up just outside the range of the powder.
Also, the wall still needs to be able to ventilate itself so it doesn’t become musty. So many houses are damaged with materials such as foaming resin and silicone that have been used to block bees. This almost always encourages bees to try again.
3-3. Don't worry about "saving the bees."
Many people blindly assert that feral bees should be “saved." This is not a very sensible idea. After all, bees only live about 8 weeks,and all their characteristics are fixed at birth. It takes that long for the colony to be rehabilitated with a new queen to produce more useful brood because the old bees have to die off first. It's far better to accept that to control the spread of disease, some bees have to be eliminated to protect the healthy colonies under good management.
One of these well managed colonies can easily be divided and made productive in only a week or so to make up for the loss of a bunch of ferals. It’s the same as having problems with cattle that have serious illness; you just don’t go and put them in with the healthy cows.
3-4. Don't take risks or skimp on bee removal.
Our lives depend on food crops pollinated by healthy bees. It is much better to call on an experienced person who knows what he or she is doing with bees. Accept that if there is expertise and or chemicals involved, they will need to be paid fairly, as you would pay any professional.
Tips
If you get stung, don't panic. Remove the sting by scraping it out backwards so it doesn't break off, and then apply good quality honey. The pain should ease almost immediately. Nothing works better than this.
Provided the bees are sitting on honey, use plenty of smoke, made by burning hessian bag in a smoker. They then gorge on honey and become a little more docile. If they are not on honey, smoke will tend to drive them into confusion.
Since bees navigate by infrared, which helps them see the sun on cloudy days, they also target other heat sources, such as the top of your head where most of you body heat radiates. So at least, wear a hat.
Warnings
Don't over protect yourself. If working with bees, it is more dangerous to be clumsy due to heavy gloves etc, Best to remain quiet, cool and calm.

2,290 | How to Approach a Bisexual Guy in the Closet | 1. Detecting Signs of Interest
1-1. Pay attention to body language.
The way that a guy holds himself and behaves around you may give you your first sign that he is interested in you. When people are attracted to each other, they tend to face each other, lean in close or stand close, and do subtle things like:
Smiling and making eye contact. This is the classic sign of interest. If a guy is attracted to you, then he will probably make eye contact with you even if you are across the room and he may also flash you a smile.
Raising an eyebrow. This is called an eyebrow flash and it is a quick involuntary movement that people make when they are attracted to someone. Watch for a quick raised eyebrow when you first see him.
Parting lips. People also tend to part their lips slightly when they are attracted to someone. This is a quick gesture that will happen right as you make eye contact if he’s interested in you.
1-2. Watch for preening gestures.
Self-grooming or preening gestures are another indicator that he might be interested in you. If you notice that he is adjusting his tie, smoothing his hair, or otherwise trying to improve his appearance, then this is also a good sign that he is attracted to you.
For example, you might notice that he is absent-mindedly smoothing out his shirt while he is talking to you, or stroking his facial hair to ensure that it looks neat.
1-3. Note any intimate touches.
If he is really interested in you, then he might touch you in a gentle way, such as by placing a hand on your arm or shoulder, even if it is only for a moment. If he seems to be touching you now and then, then he might be doing so to show his interest.
For example, if you tell a joke and he laughs while grasping your forearm with his hand, then this could be his way of showing that he finds you attractive.
1-4. Consider how the person acts with other people.
You might also try comparing his behavior towards you with his behavior towards other to determine if he is interested in you. If he is warmer and more affectionate towards you than anyone else (male or female), then this might be a sign that he thinks you are attractive.
For example, if he laughs at all of your jokes, but barely cracks a smile at anyone else’s jokes, then he may be interested in you.
2. Flirting with Him
2-1. Smile and make eye contact.
Classic flirtation tactics like smiling and making eye contact are good places to start. Whether you see him from across a room or you are sitting across a table from each other, smiling and making eye contact is a good way to show your interest. However, smiling and making eye contact is a friendly gesture, so it is a lower stakes version of flirtation that some other bolder options.
Try making eye contact for a few seconds and then look away for a moment. Then, look at him again and see if he is still looking at you. If he is, then this might indicate that he finds you attractive. Flash him a smile to send the message that you also find him attractive.
2-2. Strike up a conversation.
Before you ask a guy out, you will probably want to get to know him and find out if you two have anything in common. Otherwise, it might turn into a boring date. Ask him about his interests, likes, and dislikes, and background to start getting to know him. Some questions you can ask him include:
What do you do for a living?
What do you like to do for fun?
What kind of music do you like?
Did you grow up around here?
Do you have any pets?
Are you having a good time?
2-3. Give compliments.
Compliments are always appreciated, whether you are flirting with someone or not. By giving the guy a compliment, you can increase his confidence and send a message that you are attracted to him.
If he’s interested, then might reciprocate with a compliment of his own. If he’s not interested, then he can politely say thanks and then change the subject.
Try saying something like, “You have a great sense of style! I love your suit.”
Or, you can be a bit bold and say something like, “I am sorry if I am staring, but you have gorgeous eyes.”
2-4. Try some playful touching.
Giving him a few playful touches is a fun way to flirt and gauge his interest at the same time. Try some brief, gentle touches to let him know that you are attracted to him. These gestures may also give him the confidence to touch you back.
For example, you can try touching him on the arm or shoulder when he says something that you find interesting or funny.
Or, if you want to be a little bolder, then you can try placing a hand on his back to guide him as you are walking through a crowded place together.
3. Asking for a Date
3-1. Hint at your interest.
A subtle approach might be best if you think that there is a chance he might not be into guys. If you are still unsure about whether or not this guy is interested in dating you, then you might say something to hint at your interest in a date. This is a lower stakes way of indicating your interest that will give him the opportunity to politely decline.
For example, you could try saying something like, “I need a date for this movie I want to check out on Saturday. You wouldn’t happen to know a guy who would accompany me, would you?”
Or, you could try saying, “I really want to ask this cute guy out, but I am not sure if he dates guys or not. What would you do in my situation?”
3-2. Be direct.
If hints don’t seem to work or if you just want to find out for certain if this guy is interested in dating you, then take a direct approach. Ask him in a straightforward way if he dates guys. If he says yes, then you can ask him if he’d like to go on a date with you.
For example, you might try simply saying something like, “Do you also date guys, or just women?”
If he confirms that he dates both men and women, then you could try saying something like, “That’s awesome! We should hang out sometime.”
If he says no, then there might be a little awkwardness after. However, this will pass. Try to say something reassuring to return the conversation to a friendly space. For example, you might say something like, “Okay, cool. I just ask every guy I meet because I can never tell, you know?”
3-3. Try suggesting a place to go.
If you are getting lots of positive sign from him, then you can go ahead and ask him on a date. Pick something that you will both enjoy based on your conversation and suggest a specific day and place to meet up.
For example, you could say something like, “Since we both love horror movies, we should check out that new one on Saturday. What time works for you?”
Or, try saying something like, “I really want to check out that new Indian restaurant, too. Let’s go together this Thursday!”

Asking for a Date\\n3-1. Hint at your interest.\\nA subtle approach might be best if you think that there is a chance he might not be into guys. If you are still unsure about whether or not this guy is interested in dating you, then you might say something to hint at your interest in a date. This is a lower stakes way of indicating your interest that will give him the opportunity to politely decline.\\nFor example, you could try saying something like, “I need a date for this movie I want to check out on Saturday. You wouldn’t happen to know a guy who would accompany me, would you?”\\nOr, you could try saying, “I really want to ask this cute guy out, but I am not sure if he dates guys or not. What would you do in my situation?”\\n3-2. Be direct.\\nIf hints don’t seem to work or if you just want to find out for certain if this guy is interested in dating you, then take a direct approach. Ask him in a straightforward way if he dates guys. If he says yes, then you can ask him if he’d like to go on a date with you. \\nFor example, you might try simply saying something like, “Do you also date guys, or just women?”\\nIf he confirms that he dates both men and women, then you could try saying something like, “That’s awesome! We should hang out sometime.”\\nIf he says no, then there might be a little awkwardness after. However, this will pass. Try to say something reassuring to return the conversation to a friendly space. For example, you might say something like, “Okay, cool. I just ask every guy I meet because I can never tell, you know?”\\n3-3. Try suggesting a place to go.\\nIf you are getting lots of positive sign from him, then you can go ahead and ask him on a date. Pick something that you will both enjoy based on your conversation and suggest a specific day and place to meet up. \\nFor example, you could say something like, “Since we both love horror movies, we should check out that new one on Saturday. What time works for you?”\\nOr, try saying something like, “I really want to check out that new Indian restaurant, too. Let’s go together this Thursday!”\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"It can be hard to approach a guy who you think might be bisexual, but who has not admitted this to himself or others.

2,291 | How to Approach a Girl Working at a Store | 1. Watch how she interacts with others for comparison.
Keep this info in mind for when you approach her.
Coolly browse the store for a few minutes and observe her casually, like any typical customer might. Does she treat every customer with a friendly, bubbly, maybe-even-flirty attitude? Is she the same with her co-workers? Does she seem to be in the same good mood even when she’s not interacting with anyone?
If she maintains the same positive energy the whole time, there’s a much better chance that it’s her genuine personality. If, however, it seems to come and go at the flip of a switch, it’s probably just a workplace affectation.
If it’s clear she’s in a bad mood because she’s had her fill of rude customers or a lousy boss, wait for a better time to make your move. Don’t make your job harder than it has to be!
2. Make eye contact and check for any genuine interest.
Watch—hopefully—for a reaction that’s a little extra positive.
Casually put yourself in a position to make quick eye contact with her from part of the way across the store. Give a quick smile and focus on how she responds. Use the info you’re able to gather to help plan your next move:
If she seems put off, creeped out, bored, disinterested, or just plain blah about making eye contact with you, don’t bother approaching her.
If you notice a bigger glint in her eye or smile on her face than you’ve noticed with other customers, take it as a good sign that you should try to approach.
If the results are somewhere in between, trust your gut about what to do next—abort the mission or press ahead.
3. Wait for a time when she’s not super busy working.
Keep browsing casually or come back at a better time.
Getting this girl reprimanded or even fired, or just putting her further behind in her work, isn’t going to make a good impression. If she’s obviously swamped with stocking shelves or running the cash register, hang out for a few minutes or come back when you anticipate the store being less busy.
Come back when the store is slower, but preferably not when it’s completely dead—like right at opening or closing. This might give off a creepy vibe, like you’re waiting until she’s all alone.
4. Remind yourself you can’t succeed if you don’t try!
If you think you have a chance, go ahead and take it.
True enough, it’s unlikely you’ll “cold approach” a girl working in a store and score a date, make a new friend, etc. But is it really all that bad if you don’t succeed? As long as you’re polite and respectful, there’s no harm done—except maybe a little dent in your pride that won’t last long.
Think of it this way: if you’ve determined that you won’t bother her or make a bad day worse for her, what’s the harm in walking up to her and flirting a little?
5. Approach within her view and with friendly body language.
Make sure she can see that you’re calm, cool, and friendly.
Take a deep breath, relax your body and mind, and then make your approach. Instead of walking straight up to her (or, even worse, approaching from behind), come from an angle that puts you clearly within her view. Make pleasant eye contact again as you finish walking up to her.
Try to keep your arms to your sides and your hands visible. This is a non-threatening posture that tends to put people at greater ease.
Walking straight up to someone can feel threatening, while coming from an angle—that’s well within their field of vision—is less so.
6. Ask a work-relevant question to open the conversation.
Ease into flirting instead of going right to it.
This is a definite advantage here—you have a natural conversation-starter! Ask a relevant question about a product or service that you know she can answer—but try to make it one that requires more than a “yes” or “no.” For instance:
“Excuse me, do you have this shoe in a size 10, or maybe a similar style in a 10? I really like this kind of design.”
“Hi there. I’m looking to buy a puzzle book for my nephew. Do you have any recommendations?”
“Hello. I’ve never been here before, but I hear you guys make the best milkshakes in town. What are your most popular flavors?”
7. Watch and listen carefully for her response.
Compare it to how she’s been with other people.
If she answers with a bored, hurried, or dismissive tone, it’s easy—she’s not interested in chatting with you. If you get some friendliness and enthusiasm, though, you have to figure out if she’s being “work nice” or “actual nice” to you. Signs like the following may indicate that she’s genuinely interested in talking to you:
She’s more friendly and positive than she’s been with other customers you’ve observed.
She displays positive body language—things like making good eye contact, facing towards you, keeping her arms uncrossed or out of her pockets, and leaning or stepping forward to close the distance between you.
She goes well beyond just answering your question and starts building the conversation herself, possibly by asking a non-work-related question.
8. Try another day if she doesn’t seem interested.
Unless you were flat-out rejected, it’s okay to try again.
In this case, end the interaction in a natural, friendly way and pick things up again on another day when you see her in the store. You may have to commit to playing a “long game” here—slowly building up a rapport with her over multiple interactions.
How frequently should you come back to the store? Let’s put it this way: don’t come so frequently that it’s blatantly obvious you’re there for her, but do come often enough that the thought will cross her mind!
9. Transition to non-work stuff if she seems interested.
If you’re getting positive signals, start working your magic!
This is your opportunity to switch up from approaching someone who’s working to doing more traditional flirting. Aim to smoothly transition from work-related stuff to more personal questions and compliments. (But keep in mind here that “personal” doesn’t mean getting too personal—keep the conversation light and fun.)
For example, shift from asking about a book you’re looking for to asking about her favorite book, or about what book(s) she’s reading currently. Questions like these can help you find common interests that you’ll both be eager to chat about.
Or, find a way to give her subtle compliments that indicate you find her intriguing and attractive: “Yeah, I have a hard time finding jeans that fit just right. By the way, those jeans you’re wearing look great. You really have a cool sense of style.”
10. Follow her lead in continuing the conversation.
This shows that you’re thoughtful and a good listener.
Even if things get off to a good start and she’s enjoying herself, she may not be able to talk for long—she is, after all, supposed to be working. If she’s eager to chat away, by all means keep on going. But if she says “I gotta get back to work,” do one of the following:
Let her know you really enjoyed talking to her and say you hope to chat some more next time you’re in the store. If she’s just as eager to talk to you next time around, you can continue to build off of your success so far.
If you’re sure she’d really like to keep chatting if she wasn’t stuck at work, consider “making your move” right now and giving her a way to get in touch with you when she isn’t working (see the next step below).
11. Let her decide whether to contact you.
Avoid putting her on the spot by asking for her number.
Instead, offer her your number so she can decide whether or not to get in touch. This shows that you’re both confident and respectful—which is a nice combination when you’re trying to impress a girl!
Be friendly with some cool confidence when the time comes: “Yeah, too bad you gotta get back to work—do you mind if I give you my number? No pressure or anything, but I’d love to talk more about books and whatever else comes up sometime.”
Tips
If this isn’t a complete spur-of-the-moment thing, take some time to get yourself feeling put together and looking good—pick an outfit and style that makes you feel confident but comfortable.[18]

2,292 | How to Approach a Girl if You're Shy and Don't Know What to Say | 1. Engaging Strangers
1-1. Practice by talking to people in stores.
An important step in overcoming your shyness is practicing with other people to increase your comfort with conversations. There are many scenarios in which you can interact with strangers in a pleasant and pressure free environment to develop your social confidence.
Approach customer service associates at retail stores to ask for help finding something or to ask an opinion on a product.
Say hi to cashiers when cashing out at the grocery store and ask them how their day has been going.
Be polite but be brief. The intention is not to strike up a long lasting conversation but rather to develop experience interacting with people you don’t already know.
1-2. Move on to small interactions.
Once you have strengthened your social skills through brief conversations with strangers, you can move on to having interactions with other people that aren’t necessarily the girl you like. By starting with other people, the pressure won’t be as great as you don’t need to worry about the possibility of rejection.
Approach people at work or in social occasions that aren’t the girl you like so you can get practice making conversation with people.
Comment on something to engage people in conversation. Try approaching someone at a party and saying, “do you know who plays this song? I really like it.”
Approach someone at work or school to discuss a recent assignment and steer the conversation toward more personal matters. Try saying something like, “I was going to start working on that last night but then I got caught up in a great show about dolphins.”
Practicing conversations in low pressure environments can help you overcome the fear of rejection and get more comfortable talking to people.
1-3. Smile and make eye contact.
Regardless of who you are talking to, smiling can make you seem friendlier and more personable. Making occasional eye contact can demonstrate your confidence, but avoid making prolonged eye contact as that can be unnerving to some people.
Practice smiling and looking people in the eye when you introduce yourself. It may be difficult at first but doing so can make you seem friendly and confident, which are both things girls often find attractive.
Smiling can also serve to make you feel better about the situation that you’re in. Studies have shown that smiling alters the chemicals in your brain to make you feel happier and more confident.
2. Approaching the Girl You Like
2-1. Don't approach her if she's clearly busy or distracted.
Different environments can make the girl you like more or less apt to be willing to have a conversation with you. If you interrupt her while she’s doing something she feels is important or if it’s clear that she would rather not be bothered right now, she probably won’t react well to you introducing yourself.
If the girl you like is in the middle of a conversation with other people, looks deeply focused on what she is doing, or has headphones in she may not want to be bothered. You should consider approaching her at a later time.
Places like bars, coffee shops, book stores or even the gym may be good places to strike up a conversation. Many people go to such places for the social element and she may be expecting to talk to people while there.
2-2. Approach her soon after you make eye contact.
If you and your crush meet eyes from across the room, approach her soon thereafter. If you look at her for a long time before approaching you may make her feel uncomfortable.
Looking at someone from a distance for a long time without approaching may make you seem creepy rather than friendly.
Your conversation should seem impromptu rather than planned, so allow making eye contact from across the room to be the catalyst that made you want to strike up a conversation.
Approach her and say hi, then introduce yourself the way you’ve practiced.
2-3. Give your conversation purpose.
Don’t simply introduce yourself and allow the conversation to fizzle out immediately. Try making a friendly observation that invites her to continue the conversation if she’s interested in doing so.
You could try being direct in your conversation. Start by saying something like, “I noticed you from across the room and knew if I didn’t introduce myself I’d be kicking myself all day.”
You could ask her a social favor like, “Hi, I’m new here and don’t really know anyone. Would you mind if I talked to you for a minute?”
If you already know each other loosely you may want to bring up a class you were in together or a party you both attended.
2-4. Embrace your shyness when you speak to her.
No matter how much you practice, you still may get nervous talking to your crush. If you are nervous, don’t hope she won’t notice because she likely will. Instead get out in front of your nervousness by addressing it in conversation.
Say something like, “I’m always so nervous when I meet new people!”
If you want to compliment her you could say, “I can’t help but be a bit nervous when I’m talking to such a pretty girl.”
2-5. Ask questions or make observations to keep the conversation from dying.
After you’ve sparked a conversation with the girl you like, you may find it starting to fizzle out quickly. That doesn’t necessarily mean she isn’t interested, so use questions about her and observations about things going on around you to fill awkward gaps.
Ask her to elaborate on a statement she recently made. If she mentioned that she moved to the area recently, for instance, ask her about where she used to live by saying something like, “did your last town have a good nightlife?” Her response will help let you know what sorts of things she enjoys doing when she goes out.
Try pointing out something interesting that is going on around you. If you are in school, bring up a nearby teacher and ask if she’s had any classes with him yet, then offer your opinion on that teacher. Try saying something like, “have you had a class with Mr. Thompson yet? He’s good, but he really loads on the homework.”
2-6. Be yourself.
You may be tempted to lie or act like someone you aren’t to seem cooler or more confident in front of your crush, but remember that if you were ever to end up in a relationship with her you would want it to be based on honesty.
If she doesn’t seem interested, that may be hard to swallow but at least it won’t be because you were trying to be something that you’re not.
If she responds well, you know that you can be yourself with her and that’s a great place to start a relationship.
2-7. Ask for a way to reach out to her.
If she seems as though she’s interested in you, the conversation will likely progress well. Take advantage of the situation by asking if it would be okay for you to call her or add her on social media.
Asking for a phone number often seems flirtatious in nature, so it may be easier or more casual to ask if you can add her on social media if you’re unsure of her level of interest.
Try saying something like, “would you mind if I gave you a call sometime?”
If you would rather use social media, bring it up casually by asking if she uses the platform of your choice. Try saying something like, “are you on Facebook?” If she says yes, respond by saying, “would you mind if I sent you a friend request?”
3. Combatting Your Shyness
3-1. Approach shyness like any other problem.
Being shy is an emotional obstacle that you can overcome with effort and practice. If you needed to lose weight, you would create a plan to follow a diet and exercise. To overcome shyness, you can also create a plan.
Come up with a plan to help yourself overcome your fear of talking to a girl you like.
Use the plan to create short term goals that culminate in being comfortable approaching her.
3-2. Practice at home.
The first step in your plan to overcome your shyness should be to practice engaging with people at home. Get comfortable saying things out loud like introducing yourself or giving a pleasant greeting.
Practice can make giving a greeting or an introduction a matter of muscle memory, so you don’t really have to think about it when meeting with people in person.
Practice in front a mirror so you can see what you look like when you interact and make adjustments to present a more confident demeanor.
3-3. Re-frame your idea of rejection.
Shyness often comes from a fear of being rejected. It’s perfectly natural to take rejection personally, but that doesn’t mean that you should. Instead of thinking of rejection as a personal failure, see it for what it really is: a learning experience.
More often than not, being rejected has less to do with you than it does with the other person. People have bad days, experience bad moods, or struggle with their own insecurities when it comes to dealing with others.
Rejection won’t kill you. In fact, if you adopt the right perspective, it may not even hurt. Instead of seeing rejection as a failure, see it as a chance to learn from your experience and develop a better understanding of how to interact with others.
3-4. Stop trying to predict the future.
A fear of rejection comes from the common practice of trying to predict how events will occur before you experience them. Humans developed the ability to imagine worst-case scenarios as a survival skill, but this trait can be difficult to overcome in situations where danger isn’t a factor.
Don’t allow yourself to ruminate on all the ways approaching a girl you like could go wrong.
If you can’t help but imagine the ways a social interaction may go, try to focus on imagining it going well. This can increase your confidence and make you come off as a more self-assured person.

2,293 | How to Approach a Girl in Public | 1. Gauging Her Interest
1-1. Make eye contact.
If you see a girl you'd like to meet, try to make eye contact before talking to her. Look away for a few minutes then try looking at her again. If she catches you stealing quick glances at her, it will demonstrate to her that she has caught your attention and you are interested in her.
If you repeatedly make eye contact with someone, it could be a sign that she wants you to approach her. Three glances from a girl might signal that she's interested.
Eye contact activates our brain's reward center, making eye contact a powerful tool for attracting someone.
1-2. Smile!
A friendly smile is a great way to show someone that you're interested in them. If she returns the smile, that's a sign that she might be interested in you. Once you've exchanged a few glances and a smile, try approaching her to say hi and ask her about her about what she’s doing: “Hi, I couldn’t help but notice you over here. What are you studying/reading/up to?”
1-3. Assess her for positive body language.
While reading another person's body language is not an exact science, there are definitely a few behaviors to look for that will signal that the person is interested in engaging in conversation. If she is facing her body toward you or leaning toward you, that could mean that she would feel comfortable with you approaching her.
If she makes eye contact or smiles at you, it could be a sign that she's interested in you approaching her!
1-4. Check for negative body language.
If a girl does not want to be approached, she will generally demonstrate this through closed-off signals. A few indicators generally include facing away from you, crossed arms, listening to music, reading a book, frowning, or pointedly looking away from you. While not perfect indicators, expressions and body language like this most likely means that you should leave her alone. Be respectful and let it go if she isn’t responding to you with positive, open body language.
2. Speaking to Her
2-1. Initiate a conversation.
Striking up a friendly conversation can be flirting on its own. There are several ways to strike up a conversation. For example, you could ask her if she made her earrings/dress/other cool item. You could even say something like "I couldn't help but noticing how your dress matches your eyes. It's a great color." Don’t be shy about commenting on something that is eye-catching and/or quirky but avoid teasing or poking fun at her the first time you speak to her.
If you're in a place like a bookstore or comic book store, ask her what her favorite book is or what book she’s currently reading. You could also comment on the general atmosphere of the venue: “It’s pretty cool in here, isn’t it?” or “I can’t believe they painted the walls orange” to break the ice.
You could also try complimenting her on her hair or outfit.
If she doesn't seem interested in talking, leave her alone. There are numerous ways to tell: not making eye contact, monosyllabic answers, looking around for some way out of the conversation.
If she is interested, she will make that clear through eye contact, smiling, and sometimes leaning closer to you.
2-2. Listen when she speaks.
If she wants to talk or say something, give her your full attention and actively listen to what she says. Avoid playing on your phone or letting yourself be distracted by other things. This way she will know that you are interested in what she has to say and you'll find out more about her, have opportunities to further the conversation, and show her that you are interested in her as a person.
Ways to show that you are actively listening include maintaining eye contact, nodding, smiling, and agreeing with verbal cues such as “yes” or “mhmm.”
2-3. Don’t overthink it.
When approaching a girl, you don’t want to come off as if you are trying too hard. Act casual, but friendly. Try some light banter to break the ice. You will want to present yourself as if you are addressing a friend or acquaintance. If you are nervous, remember the saying “fake it until you make it” and pretend that you are confident and not nervous at all.
2-4. Practice what you want to say.
Think of something to say ahead of time before you approach her to prevent choking and being too nervous to speak to her. Practice what you will say a few times in your head or even out loud in private before speaking to her.
You could practice what you might say in your head. If you are alone or somewhere where you feel comfortable doing so - say, you excuse yourself to the restroom -, try saying it out loud in your normal speaking voice to familiarize yourself with the words, tone, and inflection you might use.
If you are not comfortable rehearsing out loud, try going over it in your head or writing it down numerous times until you feel comfortable with it.
2-5. Approach her even if she’s with a group of friends.
If she’s with friends, try talking to the group rather than just one girl. You could say something like, “I couldn’t help but notice that it looks like you are discussing something very funny; it must be the orange guy over there...” or something silly and/or sarcastic along those lines.
Don’t fear approaching a group of girls. If you are confident, you will be admired for your confidence and courage.
3. Establishing a Connection
3-1. Exchange contact information.
If she seems interested and you are still interested, try to make plans for a future meet-up. Give her your phone number or email address. This way she feels in control of the situation. You'll know for certain that she's interested if she follows up. If she says no, leave it. She doesn't owe you anything further, even if she did enjoy your company.
You could ask her for her number or give her yours. When giving out your number, you could try saying something that appears to be off-the-cuff and smooth by saying, “Hey, can I give you my number real quick before we go?” and then write it down or enter it into her phone (if she offers it). If you have a business card, you can simply hand that to her instead of writing out your contact information, though this is a more formal approach.
3-2. Ask her on a date.
If it’s during the day, before 5:00 p.m., suggest that the two of you grab coffee somewhere by saying, “do you want to grab a coffee?” If it’s 5:00 p.m. or later ask her out to dinner. You could say, “Are you interested in grabbing a bite to eat?” If she’s not available then, ask her if she has plans on the weekend: “Do you have plans this weekend? Would you be interested in going out with me?”
Always choose a public place for a date; you want her to feel comfortable. Have a place in mind if you do ask, or ask her if she knows of a good place.
If you discover through talking to her that you share an interest or hobby, you can suggest that you work on that interest/hobby together in a casual way. For example, you could say, “Some friends and I like to go out with our cameras and take photos of the skyline on the riverwalk on Saturday afternoons, would you like to join us sometime?” Inviting her to an event or activity that is public and involves others will make her feel more comfortable and take some of the pressure off of both of you.
3-3. Be respectful.
This is the most important part of approaching a girl in public or in any situation. Show respect by talking to her in a courteous way. Avoid swearing, making fun of her, commenting on her body inappropriately, and telling dirty jokes. Being respectful generally indicates that you are a good person that you can potentially be trusted. You can prove that you are trustworthy by being respectful to those around you, to your friends and family, and to her friends and family. If she is not interested, accept it gracefully and let it be.
Tips
Don't get discouraged if things don't go the way you planned. Sometimes that's just the way life works. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you.
Be genuine, especially the first time you meet.
Hygiene is important. Wash, brush your teeth, clean your ears, cut your nails, etc.
Warnings
If you get rejected in public, don't react negatively, just smile at her and move on.
Don't be that jerk who reads way too deeply into what a girl's saying. If she says she's not interested, she's not trying to play hard to get, she's just not interested.
Do not tell a girl to smile if she isn't. Some girls are told this constantly and it can be very irritating.
Be respectful. Treat her like a human being; don't act disrespectful and overly flirtatious.
If you approach a girl who is with her friends, be prepared to impress the entire group.
Do not approach girls at the gym. They are there to workout and rarely appreciate being hit on.

2,294 | How Do You Approach a Girl in a Group? 10 Ways to Up Your Game at the Bar and Get Her to Notice You | 1. Make eye contact with her.
This lets her know you might be interested in talking to her.
Glance over at the girl and try to make eye contact before you approach her. Don’t stare or hold eye contact for too long or it can come across as creepy. Just glance over, make eye contact, maybe flash a little smile, and go back to talking to your friends.
If you make eye contact and the girl looks uncomfortable or turns her back to you, those are probably signs that she’s not interested in talking to you.
If she also makes eye contact and smiles, chances are that she is interested.
2. Walk over and say hi to everyone.
A simple hello is much better than cheesy lines or superficial compliments.
Walk up to the group, say “hi,” and introduce yourself. Make sure you’re saying hello to the whole group and not just zeroing in on the girl you’re interested in. Saying hi to everyone may help you make a good impression.
For example, say something like “Hi ladies, my name is Josh, how’s your night going?”
Always approach a girl from the front so she can see you coming. Coming up from behind is creepy and threatening.
3. Engage everyone in conversation.
You want to win the favor of the whole group, not just the girl you’re into.
Make sure to keep talking to different people in the group or the group as a whole. If you hyper-focus on just the one girl, her friends might not approve and won’t accept you into the group.
For instance, you could ask everyone to introduce themselves instead of focusing on 1 person.
4. Practice respectful body language.
Show that you’re interested without being aggressive.
Stand close enough to the group so you look interested and open to a conversation, but not so close that you’re violating their personal space. Keep your palms open and your head raised so you look relaxed and approachable, too.
Try not to cross your arms when you approach—this can make you look closed off.
5. Be confident, not cocky.
There’s a fine line between being confident and coming across as a you-know-what.
If you’re feeling it, you can work an appropriate joke or a nice, non-superficial compliment into the conversation. Just be you and try your best to let your normal personality shine without trying too hard to impress the girl.
There’s no “rule” for how to show confidence. If you’re normally a pretty funny person, you might try to make the girl and her friends laugh. Just stay away from topics like politics, religion, etc.
If you’re a naturally more reserved person, you can show confidence simply by carrying on a conversation with the girl.
6. Invite a friend over to the group.
Having a friend there can take some of the pressure off you.
They can talk with the girl’s friends while you focus on having a conversation with the girl who caught your eye. If your approach seems to be going well, as in the girls aren’t ignoring you and seem interested in talking, wave at one of your friends and motion them over to join you and the gang.
Say something to the group when you do this, like: “Hey you guys should really meet my friend Ben, he’s right over there.” Then give Ben the signal to come on over!
7. Direct your attention to the girl.
Try to flirt with her in subtle, charming ways.
Flash her a smile and continue maintaining eye contact as you talk. Also, try taking up a little more space throughout the conversation—according to some researchers, this is an effective, nonverbal way to flirt. Offering a compliment is another classic option you can try.
You might say, “You look absolutely stunning tonight” or “I feel so lucky that I was able to bump into you tonight.”
8. Ask if you can buy her a drink.
That way, it’s clear which girl you’re interested in.
Politely ask if you can buy her next drink. If she says no, leave it at that and don’t push the matter. It’s normal for girls to be apprehensive of receiving drinks from strangers because, unfortunately, there are a lot of dirtbags out there who might slip something in their drinks at a bar.
Try saying something like: “Hey, what are you drinking, a margarita? Can I buy your next round?”
You can also offer to buy her friends some drinks, too. If they say yes, ask what they want to drink. If they say no, well, you saved some money!
9. Try to break away from the group.
If the conversation is going well, break away with the girl to talk 1-on-1.
If the bar has activities, like a pool table, darts, or another bar game, ask her if she wants to play with you. Or, if the bar is too loud and you’re having a hard time hearing each other, ask if she wants to go to a quieter part of the bar with you and talk.
For example, you might say something like: “Hey, do you like pool? I just noticed there’s a table over there, want to play a match with me?”
Or, you could say something like: “Hey I really want to keep talking to you but it’s hard to hear you right here by the bar, want to go sit at that table over there with me for a bit?”
10. Leave if the interaction feels forced.
It’s hard interacting with a group of girls, and sometimes an exit is the best option.
If the conversation turns awkward or, even worse, there’s just awkward silence, wish the group of girls a good night and leave. If the girl is interested in you, she’ll probably look for a way to come talk to you later.
Remember that not everyone goes out to a bar to meet potential love interests. They might be having a reunion between close friends, celebrating something special, or consoling a friend over a breakup, for example.
If at any point during the interaction the girl says “no” to something, respect that. If someone says “no,” it means “no,” plain and simple.

Walk over and say hi to everyone.\\nA simple hello is much better than cheesy lines or superficial compliments.\\nWalk up to the group, say “hi,” and introduce yourself.

Saying hi to everyone may help you make a good impression.\\nFor example, say something like “Hi ladies, my name is Josh, how’s your night going?”\\nAlways approach a girl from the front so she can see you coming.

Invite a friend over to the group.\\nHaving a friend there can take some of the pressure off you.\\nThey can talk with the girl’s friends while you focus on having a conversation with the girl who caught your eye.

2,295 | How to Approach a Guy Anywhere | 1. Setting Up for Success
1-1. Practice talking to strangers.
The best place to start if you want to begin talking with guys successfully is to just get better at talking to strangers. Talk to the clerk at the grocery store, strike up a conversation with the old lady in the park, talk to that guy in the sci-fi aisle at the book store....you get the idea. If you want to approach a guy in a way that comes across as normal, you have to do it the same way you'd approach anyone else, so practicing with normal people is the best way to get yourself prepared.
1-2. Take care of your appearance and smell.
This is not to say that you have to look like a model, but you definitely shouldn't look like you just escaped the local insane asylum. Practice good hygiene and wear clean clothes that fit and flatter your body. You should also smell good for the same reason. Just shower and use deodorant. A little perfume can be nice, just don't overdo it.
1-3. Pay attention to them before talking.
Don't just immediately rush over to a hot guy. Take a minute to look him over. You'll need to use what you see to make some guesses about what he might like to talk about and whether he'll be receptive. Look at their behavior and how they're interacting with the people around them. You should also look at what they're wearing. Wedding rings, no go. Items that look sentimental (like a hand knit hat), probably has a girlfriend. Do keep an eye out for things that can start a conversation though.
1-4. Avoid certain locations.
Chatting up guys in some locations can be a bit off-putting. If he's clearly out with a business partner or boss, leave him alone. Public transportation is also a bad idea, since usually someone is tired or busy while taking public transit.
1-5. Talk in places where there are other people.
Do talk to them where there are other people around though. This can not only give you an excuse to talk, but it removes the feeling like you might be after something.
1-6. Go in alone, if at all possible.
Try to catch him when he's alone, but also avoid using a wing woman/man. This makes you seem too much like those pickup artist guys. A wing buddy shows that you do this a lot or in a calculated way, which sends the absolute wrong message to a guy.
2. Finding Excuses to Talk
2-1. Talk about something going on around you.
When you're looking for an excuse to start a conversation with a guy, start with something that's going on around you. For example, you can comment on an event flier you see nearby ("Hey, do you live in this neighborhood? I see that there's a farmer's market but I've never been. Is it any good?"). You could also comment on another person, if you see someone doing something nice ("Did you see that? It's a shame you don't see that more often.").
2-2. Ask him a question.
If you see that he's wearing something interesting, like a shirt with an event logo or university, you can ask him about it ("Have you actually gone to Burning Man? I've always want to go."). You can also ask him about an item you see him holding, like a book ("Is that book any good? I'm looking to add to my reading list for this summer.").
2-3. Pay him a compliment.
Look at what he's wearing. If he's wearing something nice, he's probably pretty proud of it and paying him a compliment will be a great way to grab his attention. Especially if he's wearing nice shoes. Watches, ties, and cuff links are also often sources of pride.
2-4. Ask for his help with something small.
Everyone likes to feel like they have a purpose, so help him feel like your hero in order to break the ice. Ask him if he'll help you reach something nearby. Ask him to hold your place in line while you grab something really quick (run and grab the nearest item around the corner). Ask him for directions. These can be great ways to start a conversation.
2-5. Pretend to know or remember him.
Catch his eye and let him see you looking at him with a confused expression. Then, go up to him and say something like, "I'm really sorry to bother you, but I'm sure we've met before. I can't remember where but...I didn't want to be rude and make you feel like I was ignoring you." Then do a quick game of trying to figure out where you've met before. (Where do you work? Do you volunteer? etc...)
3. Learning What to Say
3-1. Introduce yourself!
Once you've broken that initial ice, it's a good idea to give a basic introduction. Just your first name will do. Anything more will seem overly personal.
3-2. Do not start off by asking him about his work.
This is the classic move but it is best avoided. Asking a guy what he does for a living right off the bat (unless it is relevant to the conversation) gives him the impression that you're just a gold digger. Not the best way to start getting to know someone!
3-3. Focus the conversation on him.
It's no fun to have a conversation with someone who's obviously just interested in talking about themselves, so give him information about you but take every opportunity to turn the conversation back around to him. So, for example, if he asks you a question about yourself, ask the same in turn of him.
If you want to be likeable, you should like other people.
You should show genuine interest in them and try to find out more about them.
You can ask them questions and try to know what is exciting for them.
3-4. Use open questions.
When you ask him questions, try to shoot for a healthy helping of open ended questions. These are questions that cannot be answered with a basic yes or no answer, helping to keep the conversation moving in an interesting direction. Open ended questions usually start with words like "why" or "how". "When" and "who" questions aren't likely to get you a long answer.
3-5. Find common ground.
Ask him questions and try to tease out some things you have in common. It doesn't have to be much but it can help you bond and certainly keeps the conversation going. Ask him about his likes within the context of the conversation you're having. If his don't match up with yours, that's fine: just ask him why he feels the way he does with politeness and curiosity.
3-6. Read his cues.
If he seems off-put, just back off. You're not going to get anywhere. Look for a closed body posture or him slightly backing away from you. Listen for how he responds when you talk. Is he giving the shortest answer possible and trying to close the conversation? These are bad signs. But if he's moving closer, giving long answers, or flirting a bit, you're in the gold.
3-7. Give him your number.
If he seems open and responsive, however, you can give him your number! Don't give him a business card, in case he turns out to be a weirdo (you don't want him to show up at your office). Just a quick scribble on a spare piece of paper will do fine. We wish you the best of luck in your ventures!
4. Getting Extra Help
4-1. Work on your confidence
Confidence will not only make guys more attracted to you (and attract the right kind of guys!), it will also make it easier for you to approach guys in the first place. Gaining confidence isn't so hard! Give yourself the opportunity to do things you're proud of and embrace the idea that you don't need to be perfect.
4-2. Learn the art of flirting
Flirting like a pro will make it way easier to make an impression and communicate your intentions to your Handsome Stranger. Just be careful not to be creepy!
4-3. Master chatting up strangers
It can be hard to learn how to have fun, comfortable conversations with strangers, but you can learn with some help and some practice.
4-4. Get better at talking to guys
You'll also want to get better at just talking to guys. While they can sometimes be a little harder to have a conversation with than a girl, it's mostly just about learning the right rhythms and what they like to talk about. You can do it!
4-5. Just ask him out
Being coy and hoping that he asks to see more of you will, more often than not, get you nowhere. Sometimes you just have to take the initiative! Don't feel bad: this only says good things about you to the right kind of guys.
4-6. Start finding good guys
If meeting strangers only ends with you meeting guys who aren't actually all that great, you might want to consider trying to focus on finding good guys (rather than just attractive or interesting ones).
Tips
Just be positive and expect a happy response from the guy. He will be blown away that you approached him. If you approach a guy you will stand out from the crowd because most girls are too shy to do it. Being different is attractive!
Make sure you make eye contact and smile at him before you say anything! I mean a real smile. Show your teeth.
This ain't the 1920s anymore. Women are liberated and strong. One of the most attractive qualities a woman can have is confidence. A woman who sees what she wants and takes it is damn SEXY! So step up and take the guy you want. Don't be scared. Shyness is cute, but confidence is hot. As a guy I can't even describe how sexy it is when a girl is aggressive and confident.
Warnings
There is no danger involved in approaching guys. Some guys might be in a bad mood and not respond well. That's not your fault! Some guys might be stupid and not realize a good thing when they see it. Some guys might have girlfriends already, and some other guys just won't be your type, but most guys will never be rude and tell you to get away from them or try to hurt your feelings, so you have nothing to fear. A lot of guys will love you :)

Want to start talking to these guys, to move them from stranger to date? Wikihow can help! With some simple tricks, you'll be talking to these guys in no time. Just see Step 1 below to get started.\", \"结构\": {\"方法\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Setting Up for Success\", \"步骤\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Practice talking to strangers.\", \"描述\": \"The best place to start if you want to begin talking with guys successfully is to just get better at talking to strangers. Talk to the clerk at the grocery store, strike up a conversation with the old lady in the park, talk to that guy in the sci-fi aisle at the book store....you get the idea. If you want to approach a guy in a way that comes across as normal, you have to do it the same way you'd approach anyone else, so practicing with normal people is the best way to get yourself prepared.\"}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Take care of your appearance and smell.\", \"描述\": \"This is not to say that you have to look like a model, but you definitely shouldn't look like you just escaped the local insane asylum. Practice good hygiene and wear clean clothes that fit and flatter your body. You should also smell good for the same reason. Just shower and use deodorant. A little perfume can be nice, just don't overdo it.\"}, {\"编号\": 3, \"标题\": \"Pay attention to them before talking.\", \"描述\": \"Don't just immediately rush over to a hot guy. Take a minute to look him over. You'll need to use what you see to make some guesses about what he might like to talk about and whether he'll be receptive. Look at their behavior and how they're interacting with the people around them. You should also look at what they're wearing. Wedding rings, no go. Items that look sentimental (like a hand knit hat), probably has a girlfriend. Do keep an eye out for things that can start a conversation though.\"}, {\"编号\": 4, \"标题\": \"Avoid certain locations.\", \"描述\": \"Chatting up guys in some locations can be a bit off-putting. If he's clearly out with a business partner or boss, leave him alone. Public transportation is also a bad idea, since usually someone is tired or busy while taking public transit.\"}, {\"编号\": 5, \"标题\": \"Talk in places where there are other people.\", \"描述\": \"Do talk to them where there are other people around though. This can not only give you an excuse to talk, but it removes the feeling like you might be after something.\"}, {\"编号\": 6, \"标题\": \"Go in alone, if at all possible.\", \"描述\": \"Try to catch him when he's alone, but also avoid using a wing woman/man. This makes you seem too much like those pickup artist guys.

For example, you can comment on an event flier you see nearby (\\\"Hey, do you live in this neighborhood? I see that there's a farmer's market but I've never been. Is it any good?\\\").

Being different is attractive!\\n\", \"Make sure you make eye contact and smile at him before you say anything! I mean a real smile. Show your teeth.\\n\", \"This ain't the 1920s anymore. Women are liberated and strong. One of the most attractive qualities a woman can have is confidence. A woman who sees what she wants and takes it is damn SEXY! So step up and take the guy you want.

As a guy I can't even describe how sexy it is when a girl is aggressive and confident.\\n\"], \"注意事项\": [\"There is no danger involved in approaching guys. Some guys might be in a bad mood and not respond well. That's not your fault! Some guys might be stupid and not realize a good thing when they see it. Some guys might have girlfriends already, and some other guys just won't be your type, but most guys will never be rude and tell you to get away from them or try to hurt your feelings, so you have nothing to fear. A lot of guys will love you :)\\n\"]}]}}",

2,296 | How to Approach a Guy Online: 10+ Messages You Can Send to Get a Response | 1. Talk about something on his profile.
Personalize your message to catch his attention.
Before you send your opening line, take a look at his profile and see what he likes. If you notice a ton of hiking pics, ask about the last trail he really enjoyed. If there’s a ton of food pics, get a recommendation on which restaurants are the best around town.
For instance, you might say, “I see that you like to hike! Have you been to any fun ones this season?”
Or, “So you’re a foodie, huh? Have you tried the new Mexican restaurant downtown yet?”
2. Give him a compliment.
He'll love hearing something nice about himself.
If you see something on his profile that you really like, send it in a message to catch his attention. You could compliment his looks, his hobbies, or his personality. For example:
“You have such a nice smile!”
“Wow, you look really strong. Do you work out?”
3. Ask for a new series recommendation.
Start a conversation by asking for his opinion.
Ask him to recommend a new TV show or movie that you can watch in your free time. You’ll get a sense of his taste in media and he’ll feel like you value his opinion. You could say:
“Help! I need a new series to binge, stat!”
“What’s the best movie you’ve watched in the past year?”
4. Try a “This or that?” question.
Get a fun little game going with this question.
Pick anything: food, animals, cities, celebrities, and ask him which one he prefers. It will be a nice way to show off your sense of humor so you two can get a bit of banter going. Try something like:
“Pizza or burgers?”
“Chicago or New York?”
“Cats or dogs?”
5. Ask about a common interest you have.
Check out his profile to see if you have anything in common.
If you do, really lean into it so you have something fun to talk about. Remember to always be truthful, and don’t lie about a common interest you don’t have. You could say something like:
“You went to Portland State too? I graduated from there last year!”
“How weird, I just moved here from Alaska as well! Small world, isn’t it?”
6. Try a cheesy pickup line.
Guys don’t get approached with pickup lines very often.
You can make him giggle and start out on the right foot by using a ridiculous line (the cheesier the better). If he appreciates it, he might even send one back. Go for one like:
“Why is someone as hot as you looking for a date?”
“Did it hurt when you fell out of heaven?”
“If I could rearrange the alphabet, I’d put U and I together.”
7. Ask a “would you rather” question.
Start a conversation with a hypothetical scenario.
Pick something a little ridiculous and ask the guy what he would choose. If you disagree, you can have a flirty debate about it as you continue the conversation.
For instance, you might say, “Would you rather fight 10 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck?”
Or, “Would you rather eat beans for every meal or have to drink 1 gallon of milk every day?”
8. Talk about an embarrassing moment.
Ask him about his and then talk about yours.
It will break the ice, and it’s a fun way to start a conversation. To make it a little less intense, ask about an embarrassing moment from his teen years.
Say something like, “What was the most embarrassing thing that happened to you in high school?”
9. Break the ice with a gif.
A funny one might catch his attention.
Scroll through your gifs and pick one out that’s a little silly and kind of flirty. If it works, he’ll probably send a gif back to start out your conversation.
For instance, try a gif that says “How you doin’?” or “Hey cutie” for a fun opening line.
10. Get deep with a personal question.
Keep it light, but ask him a question that lets him talk about himself.
If he’s a good conversationalist, he’ll ask you the same question so you two can get to know each other better. It will help you move past the small talk and into a deeper conversation.
Try something like, “What makes you happy?”
Or, “What’s your biggest fear?”
11. Tell him you’re about to flirt.
Set yourself up for success with this bold line.
If you think he’s really cute and you don’t want to beat around the bush, just come out and tell him he’s about to get flirted with. He’ll probably find it charming and sweet!
Say something like, “Watch out, here comes a flirtatious message!”
Or, “Please don’t judge me, but I’m about to flirt.”
12. Ask him out on a date.
Skip the small talk and just go for it.
If you aren’t a fan of DMing back and forth for days, let him know by asking him out. This works well on dating apps when you’re both there to find a potential romantic partner. You could say something like:
“So, when are we getting that drink?”
“If you want to go on a FaceTime date, just send me your schedule.”
Tips
Try to respond back quickly to keep the conversation going.[14]

2,297 | How to Approach a Guy at School | 1. Find out what he likes.
If you don’t know him well, start out by getting some insider knowledge.
You can ask your friends (or even his friends) which sports he does, if he’s in the school play, what his favorite class is, or which TV shows he likes to watch. You don’t have to get his whole life story, but try to prepare yourself with one or two things you know about him.
You can also get this info if you have classes with him or see him around school. For instance, if he’s wearing sneakers and basketball shorts, you can probably guess that he plays basketball.
2. Smile and make eye contact with him.
Signal to him that you want to come over and talk.
If you see him in the halls or across the classroom, make eye contact with him. When he notices you, give him a quick smile, and then look away.
If he’s feeling confident, he might even take that as a signal to come over and talk to you!
3. Be confident.
You might be a little nervous, but that’s okay!
If you feel shy, try to fake it until you make it. Push your shoulders back, lift your chin up, and keep a smile on your face. The more confident you look, the better chance you have of striking up a conversation with a cute guy.
If you’re feeling a little awkward, try waiting until the guy is alone. It’s much easier to approach someone one-on-one than in front of a group of people.
4. Introduce yourself.
It’s a good starting point if you two don’t know each other.
If you’ve only ever seen him around school, just start by heading over and saying hello. Then, tell him your name to get a conversation started.
Say something like, “Hey, my name’s Alyssa. What’s yours?”
If you two already know each other but you haven’t talked in a while, you could say something like, “Hey, I’m Brad. Remember me? We went to kindergarten together.”
5. Ask him about a common interest.
Maybe you two have classes or friends that overlap.
Or, maybe you both play sports after school. Talking about something you’re both interested in will get a good conversation flowing, and it’s an easy way to approach someone. Try something like:
“That math test last week was brutal. How’d you do?”
“Do you play soccer too? I’ve seen you out in the field a few times.”
“Have you started the science homework yet?”
6. Give him a compliment.
Everyone likes hearing nice things about themselves!
As you two chat, work in a few compliments to let him know that you might be interested in him. You could talk about how good he looks today, how you like his outfit, or even how smart he is. Say something like:
“I really like that sweater on you. Is it vintage?”
“You killed that debate in class yesterday. It’s like you’ve been practicing!”
“I wish I could pull off curly hair that well. It looks amazing.”
7. See if he wants to hang out later.
It’s a way to ask him out that’s both cool and casual.
You can ask him if he has plans later today, or you can set a time for later that week. You don’t have to call it a date if you don’t want to. Try something like:
“I was gonna watch the football game after school today. Wanna come?”
“Are you doing anything next week? It would be fun to check out the new bowling alley.”
8. Give him your number.
If you don’t want to seem too intense, this is a good option.
Tell him that you have to go to class but you want to continue your conversation. He’ll be able to text you and you two can talk about hanging out later.
You could say something like, “I have to run to class, but I want to finish our conversation. Could I give you my number?”
Or, “Why don’t I give you my number? That way you can text me later.”
9. Ask him to a school dance.
You can do this to make it known that you like him.
If there’s a dance coming up, ask the guy if he has a date or not. If he doesn’t, see if he wants to go with you! Say something like:
“Homecoming’s coming up soon. Are you going with anyone?”
“I was planning on going to the winter dance, but I don’t have a date. Do you?”
10. Follow him on social media if you’re nervous.
It can be nerve wracking to approach a guy face to face.
If you’re feeling shy or you just can’t work up the nerve to talk to him, try following him on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook. You can send him a DM to get a convo going and then chat with him in person when you know him better.
Your DM could say something like, “Hey, don’t we have English class together?” or, “You’re on the football team, right? Good luck tonight!”
Tips
If you’re feeling super nervous, ask a friend to come with you when you approach the guy. They can help break the ice and get you two talking.

2,298 | How to Approach a Pisces Man After a Breakup | 1. Give him time and space to process the breakup.
A sensitive Pisces needs time for himself and hates being chased.
Right after the breakup, give him space from you so he can process his emotions. As a water sign, he also wants to feel untethered so he can go with the flow. Don’t contact him for at least a few days after the breakup, or longer if he asks for more time.
While you’re giving him space, spend time with your friends to help you take your mind off of the breakup.
2. Call or text him 3-5 days after giving him space.
Because he’s emotional, a Pisces starts missing you after a few days.
Ask him how he’s been doing and tell him you’re thinking about him. Actively listen to what he has to say so he knows you truly care. Since he likes to talk things out, he’ll appreciate that you’re there for him.
You might say, “I’ve been thinking about you. How have you been?” or “I really miss you. Can we talk?”
If he asks for more space, say something like, “I totally understand. Just know that I care about you and I’m here if you change your mind.” Give him as long as he needs before reaching out again.
3. Stay in touch by text rather than going no contact.
Pisces don’t like being ignored.
He’ll completely move on if you try to use the no contact rule on him. Pisces is the sign most likely to ghost you, so it’s important to keep your lines of communication open. Text him things like:
“How’s your day going?”
“Just wanted to say ‘Hi’!”
“What are you up to?”
Inside jokes.
Memes.
Pics of what you’re doing.
4. Interact with him through mutual friends and social media.
A Pisces man wants someone who’s invested in his life.
Show him you’re not ready to move on from him by staying connected. Mutual friendships are the easiest way to spend time with him, but you can also maintain ties online. Here are some ways you can stay in his life:
Maintain mutual friendships.
Like or comment on his social media posts.
Show up at his favorite haunts.
Arrange group hangouts with mutual friends.
Ask him to stay friends.
5. Make him (a little) jealous.
Sometimes a Pisces needs help realizing he made a mistake.
Since they’re an emotional sign, Pisces tends to retain their feelings after a breakup. If he sees someone else pursuing you, it can make him realize he wants you back. Try hanging out with a mutual guy friend so he sees you with another man. You could also post a photo of you with another guy on social media.
At the same time, you don’t want him to think you’re moving on to someone else. If he thinks he’s competing for your affection, he’ll totally ghost you. For this reason, don’t start going on actual dates—just stick to outings with friends.
6. Ask friends to remind him how happy he was with you.
Although they’re romantic, Pisces are also fearful of commitment.
They need reassurances from people they trust that they’re making the right decision. Encouragement from friends may be the trick to getting him to realize your breakup was a mistake.
If you have mutual friends, talk to them to see if they’ll drop some hints to him.
You could also try hanging out with his friends so they realize you’re a good match for him.
7. Remind him of happier times.
Pisces are super nostalgic, and he’ll want those good times back.
Tap into his sensitive side with memories of your time together. He’ll quickly slide down memory lane and wish he could have you back. Hopefully, he’ll be back in your arms in no time. Try this:
Send him a photo of a happy memory with the caption, “Remember this?”
Share memories on social media.
While hanging out in a group, tell a funny story that happened while you were dating.
8. Ask him for help.
A Pisces man loves to do things for people he cares about.
At his heart, he’s a helpful person, and he’ll want to be there for you in your time of need. Tell him you’re struggling with something you know he’s good at. He’ll be quick to step in and be there for you.
You might ask him to help you assemble a piece of furniture, plan a surprise party for a friend, or choose a wine.
Think about what he helped you with when you were together for inspiration.
9. Focus on his positives rather than criticizing.
Pisces can’t handle criticism or aggressiveness.
They will run fast and far if they get any bad vibes from you. Win him back by reminding him of everything you love about him. Pointing out what went wrong or blaming him for the breakup will only push him farther away. Say things like:
“You’re such a great listener.”
“You always made me feel so special.”
“You’re so creative.”
10. Ask him out so you can reconnect.
Pisces are a passive sign, so you’ll need to take the lead.
Invite him to do something you both enjoy. Alternatively, suggest you try something new together as part of a fresh start. Just focus on reconnecting with him at first. You might even ask him to hang out as friends the first few times. Go with what feels right for both of you.
You might ask him out to a concert, a museum, or a casual restaurant. You could also try going to a sports game or playing mini golf.
If he seems open to it, you might suggest a romantic date, like dinner at a nice restaurant or a picnic on the beach.
11. Connect with him through one of his interests.
Pisces are looking for someone who feels like their dream match.
He’s not going to settle for someone who doesn’t truly get who he is. Make him see that you’re the perfect partner for him by showing an interest in what he likes. You could try:
Sporting a t-shirt related to one of his interests.
Picking up one of his hobbies.
Attending a convention for something he likes.
Signing up for a class he’s taking.
12. Play to his romantic side.
Pisces love romance, so sweep him off his feet.
He’s the kind of guy who wants candlelight dinners and creative dates. He’ll be totally impressed if you send him a sweet card to let him know you still care about him. You could also try doing something special for him, like bringing him a sweet treat on his birthday or on a holiday.
Think about what he likes. If he’s into music, you might send him a new playlist you made for him.
Pisces are one of the most romantic signs, so he won’t be able to resist a bit of romance.
13. Show him you’re independent.
A Pisces craves mutual independence so you can both be yourself.
Although he’s a romantic, he also doesn’t want to feel trapped or locked down. Make a point of going out with your friends, working on your education or career, and pursuing your own hobbies. He’ll see that you’ve got your own life, which means he can have his.
Since Pisces is a mutable sign, he’s very flexible and tends to shift and change. He needs someone who can go with the flow with him.
14. Support his aspirations and goals.
Always a dreamer, Pisces can seem unrealistically optimistic at times.
They’re ruled by Neptune, the planet of dreams, so they have a big imagination. It’s not enough to keep these aspirations to themselves. They want a partner who will dream with them. Try:
Asking him questions about his dreams to show you’re interested.
Talking about how you could fit into his future.
Telling him about your own dreams.
15. Open up about your feelings so he sees you’re vulnerable.
Pisces are very sensitive, compassionate, and helpful.
His heart will melt if you let down your walls and just tell him how you’re feeling. Be honest about missing him and wanting him back. He’s a great listener, and he’ll be quick to provide comfort and understanding. You could say:
“Since we broke up, you’re all I can think about. I miss having fun with you and talking about our dreams for the future.”
“You’re an amazing guy, and I don’t want to lose you. I really miss our long talks and your creative date ideas.”
16. Show him you can improve your relationship.
A Pisces will want to fix issues that broke you up.
Since he’s a hopeless romantic, he dreams of a fairytale movie love. To win him back, you’ll need solutions to any problems you had in the past. Fortunately, he’s a helpful guy, so he’ll happily put in the work to make things better. Try saying things like:
“I know we used to argue a lot, so I thought we could work on our communication skills.”
“I’ve realized we spent too much time together in the past. I think it’s good that we’re both becoming more independent so we could have a healthier relationship if tried again.”
“I feel really bad about what happened between us, so I’ve been working on myself.”
17. Help him imagine a future with you.
Pisces have a big imagination and love to get caught up in fantasies.
Use this to your advantage by describing the wonderful future he could have with you. Encourage him to picture a happy life with you so he realizes your breakup was a mistake. Say something like:
“I keep picturing us sharing a porch swing, watching the sunset like you always wanted.”
“One day, we could get a beach house together and spend every evening walking along the shoreline.”
“I imagine the two of us traveling the world together, seeing all the famous sites and learning from locals.”
Tips
If he continues to spend time with you after your breakup, he’s probably still into you. A Pisces man can’t stay away from the person he loves.
Warnings
If a Pisces catches any bad or aggressive vibes, he’ll likely ghost you. You can prevent this by focusing on the positive and reminding him that you truly care about him.

2,299 | How to Approach a Shy Toddler | 1. Introducing Yourself
1-1. Wait until the toddler is in a comfortable, low-key setting.
Big crowds or unfamiliar settings will probably make the toddler more anxious and less willing to interact with you. Whenever possible, save your introduction for a time when the child is in a place they know and around a limited number of people they know.
Even in a comfortable setting, the child may not be in the best mood for meeting someone new. If they’re obviously upset or are extremely clingy with a parent or other loved one, wait for a better time to introduce yourself.
1-2. Approach them without surprising or interrupting them.
This definitely isn’t the time to sneak up on someone! Even if they aren’t looking at you, approach them from the front. Walk slowly and calmly. Stop when you’re close enough to interact with them, but not so close that you’re invading their space.
If they’re doing something else, wait for maybe 10-15 seconds until they look towards you. If they still haven’t taken notice of you by this point, go ahead and begin your introduction.
1-3. Kneel or sit so you’re at their level.
Don’t tower over a toddler—it’s intimidating! Instead, get down as close to their eye level as you comfortably can. If you’re not able to sit or kneel on the floor, find a low chair that brings you down near their level but still allows you to get back up comfortably.
The taller you are, the more helpful it is to bring your eyes down near their level.
If getting down on the floor isn’t happening for you, wait until the toddler is in a high chair having a snack, then sit down beside or across from them.
1-4. Smile genuinely to let them know you’re friendly.
Even young toddlers are good at picking up on facial expressions. You’ll probably already be happy to be introducing yourself to a cute kid, so it shouldn’t take any real effort to put a nice, welcoming smile on your face.
Try to maintain your smile while you’re observing, talking, and listening. Keep it natural, though—don’t fake a big smile that might actually confuse or frighten them!
1-5. Speak to them with a calm, quiet, friendly voice.
Pretend you’re the late-night deejay on a classical music radio station! Be soothing, not boisterous, but at the same time don’t be sombre like you’re at a funeral. Be calmly pleasant.
If you’re worried about getting the right tone, practice in the mirror a few times beforehand. That way, you can also make sure you’re giving a genuine smile while you speak.
1-6. Greet them by name, say your name, and share something about yourself.
Even if they’re a young toddler who won’t fully understand what you’re telling them, provide a basic introduction. Remember that the tone of your voice, the smile on your face, and your welcoming posture are at least as important as what you say! You can try a handshake if the child seems receptive, but don’t try to force contact if they’re hesitant.
For example, you might say: “Hello, Rosie. My name is Janet, and I’ve been friends with your Mommy since we were both little kids like you!”
Or, for instance: “Hi, Daniel. I’m Gene, and I’m your Daddy’s big brother—just like Leo is your big brother.”
Or: “Hi, Bob. I’m Miss Davis, and I’m your sister Lucy’s school teacher. We like to read books together!”
1-7. Give them room to respond, but don’t push them to talk.
Ask any parent of a toddler—it’s hard to predict how they’ll react to a situation! They may be receptive to your greeting, they might ignore you, or they might cry or try to hide behind one of their parents. In any case, let them respond naturally and go from there.
If they respond well, share some more about yourself, ask what they’re doing, suggest a game you can play together, or find other ways to build on your positive introduction.
If they ignore you and keep doing what they were doing, give them another 10-15 seconds and try to engage with them again.
If they respond poorly, wrap things up for now and try again another time.
1-8. Say goodbye when you’re done and let them know you enjoyed meeting them.
No matter how well or poorly your introduction goes, maintain a pleasant demeanor throughout and signal to them when the interaction is done. Leave things on a positive note so you can hopefully build on it next time you meet!
For instance: “It was so nice to meet you, Drake. I really enjoyed playing blocks with you. Maybe next time we can look at a book together. Goodbye, Drake.”
Or: “Thank you so much for letting me take a look at your teeth, Andrew. You’ll have even more teeth next time you come visit my office! Goodbye, Andrew.”
2. Using Games and Activities
2-1. Observe the toddler and ask their parents about likes and dislikes.
No two toddlers are alike, of course, so it makes sense to adjust your approach to suit the individual child. While some shy toddlers may do best with a quiet, calm, verbal introduction, others may prefer an approach centered around an activity they know and enjoy.
You should always talk to a parent or caregiver before approaching a toddler anyway, so ask for tips about the best way to introduce yourself. After talking to the parent/caregiver, you can also watch the toddler for a few minutes to get a better idea of their likes and dislikes.
2-2. Quietly join in what they’re doing without interrupting them.
This is the simplest activity-based method of introduction, and it often works well when a shy toddler is already doing something they enjoy. Approach in a calm and friendly manner, get close without invading their space, get down on their level, and quietly—and without interfering with them—start doing the same thing they’re doing. In many cases the toddler will start interacting with you within a short period of time.
For example, if the toddler is playing with wood blocks, grab a few of the blocks that are out of their immediate reach and start stacking them yourself. Keep a smile on your face and a friendly demeanor throughout.
You can combine this tactic with a spoken introduction, or simply play quietly until the toddler silently “invites” you to join in their activity. You might get handed a block, for instance!
2-3. Start doing a simple, fun activity that appeals to them.
If the toddler isn’t currently doing an activity that you can join, try instead to initiate an activity that they’ll want to join. You might, for example, start lining up stuffed animals for a parade; begin sorting the pile of toddler books into “big book” and “little book” stacks; or start picking all the dandelions in the yard. With any luck, they’ll want to get involved and you can work together!
Use your chat with the parents/caregivers and your own observations to come up with an activity that suits both the toddler’s developmental level and interests.
2-4. Pretend you’re the shy one and ask for the toddler’s help.
This tactic is a form of “play-listening” that works best with kids on the higher end of the unofficial “toddler” age group. Pretend, for example, that you’re shy about approaching the family cat or even a group of stuffed animals. Indicate to the toddler that you could really use their help. Since they’re not shy about their cat or their toys, the toddler will probably be “brave” enough to help you out.
For instance, you might say. “Oh, I’m afraid to hug that big stuffed bear! Is there anyone here who can help me? John, you look very brave—can you help me hug the big bear?”
2-5. Start a “once upon a time” story that invites them to contribute.
Say something like the following: “Violet, I can’t quite remember how my favorite story goes. Can you help me? It starts like this: Once upon a time, there was a unicorn. What do you think the unicorn’s name was, Violet?” If the toddler starts to engage, keep asking leading questions to drive the story forward.
Instead of a verbal story, you can also try drawing simple pictures and asking the toddler to help you complete a visual story.
Tips
Don't be discouraged if the toddler doesn’t take to you immediately. Keep trying, but give them the time and space to warm up to you at their own pace.
Warnings
Be sure to ask a parent or caregiver before approaching any child to make an introduction.

2,300 | How to Approach a Shy or Fearful Dog | 1. Recognizing a Fearful Dog
1-1. Understand dog behavior.
There are a number of reasons why a dog might be frightened around people. It's possible that you haven't done anything wrong to provoke this reaction from a dog; sometimes dogs are fearful of humans because they need to be in order to survive.
Some dogs are fearful around humans because of previous or ongoing abuse. It's possible a fearful dog you encounter is hurt, and is acting aggressively so that he does not appear weak and vulnerable.
NEVER approach an injured animal that you do not know. It is very likely that the animal may perceive you as a threat and attack to defend itself.
1-2. Recognize body language.
A frightened dog may tense up his body, and raise his hackles (the row of hair along the dog's back). If a dog you are approaching turns suddenly, locks his body into a firm position, and has raised hair on its back, it's best to stop where you are and let the dog see that you are not a threat to him.
1-3. Don't look the dog in the eyes.
An anxious dog can sometimes be triggered by direct eye contact—the dog might see it as you asserting dominance. Any time a frightened dog stares at you, you should avert your eyes to show the dog that you are respecting their boundaries.
It can help to even turn your head or shoulder away from the dog.
1-4. Look for teeth and/or growling.
Bared teeth and growling are two of the biggest tell-tale signs that a dog feels threatened or uneasy, and may attack if you proceed. Growling does not necessarily mean that the dog will attack you, but it does mean that he may attack if you continue to make him feel threatened.
2. Identifying Fear Triggers
2-1. Determine what is upsetting the dog.
It's possible that you are the cause of a frightened dog's anxiety. But it could also be that the dog is bothered by something in his immediate environment, and your presence is not a factor in his fear.
Always assume that you might be the stimulus that is causing a dog to feel frightened or nervous, especially if it is not a pet you are familiar with.
2-2. Observe what may be frightening the dog.
If it's a dog you know and encounter regularly, you may observe multiple situations or stimuli that seem to upset the dog. Understanding what triggers this response can help you avoid those triggers, or expose the dog to those triggers in a controlled environment.
If you know the dog, scan your surroundings for things that might be upsetting the animal. Things that we take for granted, like a certain sound, a foreign object in the yard or house, or a new and unfamiliar odor, could cause a dog to act fearful or nervous.
If the dog belongs to you or someone you know and you suspect that an environmental change is the reason the dog is upset (a vacuum cleaner, for example, or a new piece of furniture), expose the dog to that new element in short, controlled sessions. Allow the dog to become familiar with that object and to recognize, in his own time, that the object is not a threat.
Examine the dog for injuries from a safe distance. Do not force close contact. Take note of whether the dog is limping or hiding one side from you, keeping his ears flat against his head, excessively licking an injured area, or whimpering.
2-3. Do not further frighten the dog.
Approaching carefully, and knowing when to back away, are crucial for a successful interaction with a shy or frightened dog. Remember that if the dog does not know you, he may perceive you as a threat.
3. Calming a Fearful Dog
3-1. Be aware of your own body language.
Animals pick up on body language much more sharply than humans do. If a dog is shy or fearful, especially a dog you do not know, managing your own body language may be the most important thing you can do to calm and reassure a frightened dog.
Never approach a frightened dog head-on or stare at it. Approach from the side, looking at him with your peripheral vision, so that the dog does not think you are approaching him with malicious intentions.
Move slowly around a frightened dog. If you move in a quick, jerky way, it could make the dog more anxious.
Consider sitting when the dog is around—this will make you appear smaller, which could help put the dog at ease.
Do not reach out to the dog. Hold out your open hand from a safe distance, and allow the dog to choose whether or not he wants to approach you.
If the dog has an owner nearby, always ask the owner's permission before approaching the dog, and wait for the owner's response.
3-2. Show respect and praise calm behavior.
Move slowly around the dog, and verbally praise him if he appears to be willing to approach you. This will let the dog know that you respect his boundaries, but are willing to offer him praise and kindness if he is willing to get closer.
Speak softly. Never raise your voice around a frightened animal.
3-3. Give the dog his space.
Every dog has a "safety zone," an area around him which he will not allow strangers to enter if they could pose a threat. Remain a safe distance away, and do not approach the dog or enter his safety zone if he is showing signs of frightened aggression.
There is no absolute when it comes to a dog's safety zone. Every dog is different. Cautious trial and error is the only way to determine a dog's boundaries.
3-4. Offer treats if it's safe.
If you or someone you know owns the dog, consider offering treats to the dog as a reward for behaving calmly around you. Praise him every time he comes up to you without hesitation, and offer him a treat, if it's okay with his owner.
Don't approach the dog with the food—let the dog approach you, instead.
This should only be done if you know the dog and are certain he does not have food aggression issues. Offering food to a dog with these issues could provoke further aggressive behavior.
3-5. Call animal control.
If you believe you've found a dog that may be lost or injured, the best thing to do is to call animal control. In rural areas without an autonomous animal control department, you should call the police.
Give your contact information to the animal control or police dispatcher, so they know how to contact you in case of any further developments.
Give the dispatcher your precise location so that the responders can locate you easily.
Ask for a time estimate on when someone will arrive. If it will be a long time, the dispatcher may ask you to remain near the dog, or to follow and observe him from a safe distance.
4. Recognizing and Calming a Shy Dog
4-1. Understand why dogs are shy.
There are a number of reasons why a dog may be excessively shy around people.
Some dogs are frightened or shy around people because they were not properly socialized as puppies.
Some dogs are simply prone to anxious behavior, and will always be shy around people for no real reason.
4-2. Expose dogs slowly.
If your dog is shy whenever he meets new people, expose him gradually, but make sure that he is having exposure.
If your dog clings to you whenever other people are around, try to ignore his pleas for attention. Eventually your dog will realize that he will not be rewarded with attention or affection until he is willing to interact with other people.
4-3. Try socializing him with another dog.
Some dogs are shy because they never learned how to interact with people. If your dog is shy of humans but gets along well with other dogs, try having your shy dog spend time with a more social dog. Your dog may, over time, learn from his canine companion how to behave around humans.
4-4. Have someone the dog is shy around offer food.
Once the dog has shown some progress in being around other people, have someone he is becoming more comfortable around offer him food. This should only be done with dogs that do not exhibit signs of food aggression, for the safety of all parties involved.
Have the person crouch low or sit on the floor.
While avoiding eye contact, have the person hold out the dog's bowl with food in it.
Do not force the dog to come eat; let the dog come when he is ready.
4-5. Be patient and consistent.
Reward your dog with treats and verbal praise every time he comes out of his shell enough to interact with other people. Rewards should be given immediately, to help establish the reward as being related to his behavior.
Warnings
If a fearful dog growls, it is a sign that he is uncomfortable. Do not punish growling! Instead, calmly walk away to diffuse the situation, then engage the services of a qualified professional trainer.

2,301 | How to Approach a Stray Cat | 1. Approaching a Friendly Cat
1-1. Leave out a bowl of dry cat food.
You will need to start by gaining the cat’s trust, as this will make approaching the cat much easier. You can gain the stray cat’s trust by leaving out a bowl of dry cat food where they can see it. The stray cat is likely hungry and will be more inclined to approach your area if you present it with food.
Place the dry cat food in a bowl close to the cat or in the area where the cat is hanging out. You may also leave out a bowl of fresh water for the cat to drink. Then, step away and wait quietly for the cat to approach and eat from the bowl. Let the cat continue eating and drinking without approaching it.
If you are not worried about approaching the stray cat right away, you may continue to leave food and water out for the cat every day until the cat seems comfortable staying in the same area.
1-2. Move toward the cat slowly and quietly.
Do this while the cat is eating from the food bowl. Talk quietly to the cat as you move towards it slowly. You may say, “Good kitty” under your breath or simply, “Hi there, kitty.” Talking to the cat in low tones will show it you are non-threatening and friendly.
If the cat appears spooked by your presence, take a few steps back and wait. Once the cat appears less freaked out by you, you should take a few steps forward and continue talking quietly. Over time, the cat should realize you are not a threat and be more comfortable with your presence.
1-3. Allow the cat to come to you.
Do not try to force the cat to come to you or attempt to grab the cat as this will just scare it more. Instead, allow the cat to approach you. Squat down a few feet away from it and continue to speak softly to it. The cat should come to you and rub your leg or sit near you but just out of reach. These are signs it does not view you as a threat.
Avoid trying to reach out and pet the cat or stroke the cat. This may spook it and cause it to run away. Be patient and allow the cat to approach you.
1-4. Lure the cat into your car or into a container.
If you have confirmed the cat is a stray and it appears okay with you approaching it or it approaches you, you may be able to lure it to a safe place. You should try to lure the animal into your car by placing food on the seat and leaving the door open. If the cat does go into your car, you should close the door and go get help.
You can also try luring the cat into a container, such as a cardboard box or a plastic bin. You can leave food in the box or bin and see if the cat will enter it willingly. Once the cat is in the box or bin, you can then call for help.
1-5. Try to find the cat’s owner.
If you are able to transport the cat in your car, you should take it to the nearest animal shelter. The shelter may then be able to help you find the cat’s owner, if it has one. You should also check the cat for any identification, such as a collar or a tag. You may be able to find the owner through the information on the cat’s collar.
You should make sure the shelter scans the cat for a microchip. If the cat has a microchip, scanning it will make it easier to identify the cat’s owner.
You can help the shelter find the cat’s owner by posting a “found” ad in your local newspaper or online. You can also put up “found cat” posters in your neighborhood with an image of the cat.
You may decide to keep the cat if the owner is not found through the shelter. If so, you should notify animal control that you have the cat and then take the cat to the vet for a check up. The vet will confirm the cat does not have any diseases or illnesses.
2. Approaching a Frightened or Feral Cat
2-1. Watch for signs of aggression.
The stray cat may appear frightened and scared by you, especially if is it not used to other people or to being outside. A frightened cat may hiss, growl, or spit at you. These are normal signs of fear and the cat may just be reacting to being lost, away from its owner, or outdoors. An aggressive cat may howl at you and its eyes may be dilated, with its fur on end and its head cocked back.
If the cat starts to act aggressive, it may be feral. Feral cats are cats that have always lived outdoors and have not been socialized to people. They usually cannot be adopted and may end up in a kill shelter if they are caught. You may try to approach the feral cat anyway to ensure it is not sick or in danger, but do so with caution.
If the cat allows you to approach it or if it approaches you, it is likely not feral. A stray cat will be okay with rubbing your leg or being close to you. A feral cat will likely not approach you at all and may hide or run away at the sight of you.
Stray cats also tend to walk like house cats, with their tail up. Feral cats may stay low to the ground, crouching or crawling, and protect their body with their tail. Feral cats also will not make eye contact with you and will not purr, beg, or blink at you.
2-2. Wear gloves and long sleeves.
You should approach a frightened or feral cat with caution and protect yourself against getting scratched or injured by the cat. Wear rubber gloves and a long sleeved shirt so your skin is not exposed.
You should also have a towel or blanket ready to throw over the cat. Putting a towel or blanket over the cat can make it easier to put up the cat and transport it without getting scratched or attacked.
2-3. Let the cat approach you.
Though the cat may appear frightened or scared, it may eventually approach you if you place a bowl of dry food and water in its area. You should leave the food and water out so the cat can eat and drink. Stay a few feet away from the cat so it does not feel threatened by you. You may then be able to move closer to the cat or get it to approach you by talking quietly to it.
You may say, “Here, kitty” or “Hello there.” With enough coaxing, the cat may come to you.
If the cat is feral or acting aggressive, it may not approach you. You can try throwing the blanket or towel over the cat. Then, lift it by the nape of its neck and try to put it in a box or in a container.
2-4. Call animal control if the cat is too aggressive.
If the cat appears too aggressive, you may want to contact animal control so they can remove it safely and efficiently. Give animal control your contact number and ask them how long it will take for someone to get to the scene. Try to stay in the area until animal control arrives to make sure the cat is picked up safely.
If you are not able to stay on the scene, you should describe where the cat is located by giving animal control a description of any road names, landmarks, or mile markers in the area. This will make it easier for animal control to locate the stray cat when they arrive.

2,302 | How to Approach and Release a Skunk from a Live Trap | 1. Gathering Your Supplies
1-1. Get a pair of quality leather or canvas gloves.
You should always wear quality leather or canvas gloves when you are handling any animal traps. The gloves will protect your hands from getting scratched by the skunk and reduce your risk of infection due to exposure to feces or urine.
You can use a pair of gardening gloves or work gloves as long as they are thick leather or canvas. Do not use gloves that have holes or cuts in them as you do not want your skin exposed.
1-2. Find a canvas tarp or a large towel.
You will use the towel or the tarp to cover the live trap. This will temporarily blind the skunk and make it easier for you to release the skunk from the trap. Find a towel or a tarp that you do not plan to use again, as it may be at risk of getting sprayed by the skunk.
Make sure the tarp or towel is made of durable materials that cannot be cut or chewed by the skunk. Canvas, denim, and towel like material is best. You can also use a thick trash bag in a pinch.
Look for a towel or a tarp that is long and wide enough to cover the entire trap. Most live traps for skunks are 24 inches x 7 inches x 8 inches (61 cm x 18 cm x 20 cm).
1-3. Wear old clothing.
You should also put on some old clothing, such as an old long sleeve t-shirt and long pants. If you follow the approach and removal steps properly, you should not be sprayed by the skunk. But there is always a chance it could happen so you should opt for an outfit that you do not mind throwing out if it does get sprayed.
Opt for clothing that covers your legs and arms, as you do not want to be at risk of getting scratched by the skunk. You can wear a scarf around your neck if you want to cover up further, but you will likely not come too close to the skunk to get scratched.
2. Approaching the Live Trap
2-1. Check the door of the trap.
There are two types of live traps: a trap with a gravity door and a trap with a spring-loaded door. You will need to use different techniques to open each one so you should stand several feet away from the trap and confirm the type by looking at the door.
Gravity door traps use gravity to open and close. A locking mechanism on the door prevents the skunk from getting out of the trap. You will need to push on the trap and flip it over to open the door.
Spring loaded door traps use a spring latch on the door to open and close it. They can be more difficult to open and will require you to get close to the trap door.
2-2. Move slowly and quietly.
You do not want to appear threatening or large to the skunk. Crouch low to the ground and talk quietly to the skunk as you approach the trap. This way, the skunk will not view you as a threat.
You should also avoid making any sudden or jerky movements. Walk low and slow to toward the trap with the tarp or towel in your hand.
Skunks will pound their front feet, making a steady thumping sound, when they feel agitated or stressed. If you hear thumping in the cage, take it as a warning that the skunk may spray you. You may need to back off and wait until the noise goes away to approach the skunk again.
2-3. Drape the towel or tarp over the trap.
Once you have gotten close enough to the trap, carefully lay the towel or tarp over the trap. You want to cover the trap completely, save the door of the trap.
Covering the trap will temporarily blind the skunk and make them less likely to spray what they cannot see. Once you lay down the towel or tarp you should wait a moment and listen for any thumping in the trap. Sometimes, the towel or tarp can startle the skunk and make them agitated.
3. Releasing the Skunk
3-1. Choose a good spot to release the skunk.
You should release the skunk in an area that is at the edge of your property, close to trees or a spot near a forest. Keep all outdoor areas and doors closed, such as your garage door or your barn door, so the skunk cannot run into these areas once you release it from the trap.
If you are setting the trap yourself, you should try to set the trap in an area where you have seen skunks before, at the far end of your property. It will then make it easier to release the skunk into the wild, rather than risk it running somewhere on your property.
3-2. Flip over a gravity door trap.
If you have a gravity door trap, you will need to flip over the trap so the door opens and allows the skunk to leave. You can use a painters pole or a pole that is 10 feet (3 m) long at least to gently push the trap onto its roof. Once the trap flips over, the gravity door should pop open.
You can also approach the trap from the side and use your hand or foot to gently flip over the trap. Make sure the trap is covered completely with the towel or tarp before you approach it.
3-3. Open a spring loaded door trap.
Spring loaded trap doors are a little trickier to open. You will need to approach the door and open it manually by pressing the spring loaded latch or button on the door. Make sure the trap is covered at the end opposite to the door so you can access the door easily.
If you set the trap yourself, you may want to practice opening and closing it beforehand so you can do it quickly when it comes time to release a skunk. Opening the door quickly will reduce your risk of getting sprayed.
3-4. Walk away from the trap quickly.
Once you have opened the door, you should walk away from the trap quickly and quietly. You may hold another towel or tarp over your body and back away facing the trap so you are protected if the skunk does spray.
Do not jump or run away from the trap as this can startle the skunk. Instead, walk away slowly and quietly so the skunk has time to come out of the trap on their own.
3-5. Check the trap the following morning.
Though the trap is now open, it may take the skunk some time to actually leave the trap. Noises around the trap may deter from the skunk from leaving. Skunks are also nocturnal animals so they may not exit the trap until nightfall. You should wait and check the trap the following morning, as the skunk will likely be gone by then.
If you are in a rush to get the skunk out of the trap, you can use a garden hose to lightly wet the skunk. Do not spray the skunk with the force of the water. Instead, you should make the skunk wet with a light spray of water so it is encouraged to exit the trap. Make sure any enclosures nearby are closed and sealed so the skunk does not run out of the trap and hide in these areas.
3-6. Clean your clothing if you do get sprayed.
If you do end up getting sprayed by the skunk in the process of approaching and releasing it from the trap, you should make sure you clean your clothing and your body well to remove the smell. You will need to combine hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and liquid dish soap to get rid of the skunk spray.
Wash your clothing and your body with the hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and liquid dish soap mixture. You should also flush your eyes with water if you get sprayed in the eyes.

2,303 | How to Approach the Guy You Like | 1. Getting Him to Notice You
1-1. Make sure he knows who you are.
This is easy if you are already lab partners in science class or you work together in the same office. However, you may have a crush on a guy whom you’ve never actually talked to. If this is the case, there are several ways you can let him know who you are without seeming like you’re stalking him.
If you have mutual friends, have one of them introduce you.
If he works at a store or café you frequent, make sure to go there regularly when he works. Ask him questions about items on the menu or things that they sell. Be friendly and thank him for helping you.
Like his photos or posts on social media if you are connected that way.
If you’re coworkers or classmates but don’t normally interact, find a reason to. Organize an office party and see if he wants to volunteer. Sit near him in class and ask to borrow a pencil.
1-2. Look your best.
You never know (or maybe you do) when you’ll run into this guy. Just in case you do, you want to look good so that you’ll feel confident about the interaction. Wear clothes that you feel show off your personality and make you look and feel special.
If you have a favorite accessory, such as a special hat, wear it. It can become part of your trademark look and help boost your confidence and make you seem memorable.
You want to look your best, but make sure you also dress appropriately. You don’t want to show up to work in something too revealing just to impress him, or wear your fanciest outfit to a regular day at school.
1-3. Introduce yourself.
This can be an intimidating step if you’re naturally shy. However, most people are happy to meet a new person and feel at ease when someone takes the time to introduce themselves politely.
Keep it simple. If you frequent his place of work and he’s become familiar with your face, simply say, “Hi, I’m Jane. I don’t think I’ve gotten your name yet,” next time you go in there.
You can say, “I see you around a lot, but I don’t think we’ve actually met. I’m Monique.”
1-4. Compliment him.
People always remember when someone compliments them. It’s flattering and lets them know that you noticed something about them. Find something you can tell him you appreciate about either his appearance or something he’s done. He’ll associate you with the positive feelings of the compliment.
Tell him you like a piece of clothing, particularly if there’s something you can identify about it. For example, you could say, “Nice T-shirt. I love that band, too.”
Compliment him on his work. You can say, “You always make the best lattes,” or “You’re a really good lab partner.”
2. Saying Hello
2-1. Make flirtatious eye contact.
Flirtatious eye contact can come in a few different forms. Generally, you need to maintain eye contact for at least four seconds before coyly looking down or away. Holding his gaze this long lets him know you’re flirting.
If you’re feeling really bold and sexy, you can subtly lick your lips. This is considered rather forward, so make sure you know what you’re doing.
There’s a difference between flirting and staring. Make sure you’re reading his signals and responding, not just staring at him.
2-2. Smile.
It may seem obvious, but if you’re feeling very nervous or shy, you may forget to smile. However, smiling is important. It sends the signal that you’re friendly and approachable. It also shows that you may be interested.
Smiling with your teeth showing and your eyes creasing around the edges conveys warmth and gives the appearance that you’re genuinely excited to see him.
2-3. Say “hi.”
This is another example of something that may be easier said than done. If you feel very shy around this guy, that’s perfectly normal. However, you want to feel comfortable enough to at least say, “hello.”
You can wait until he looks at you or catches your eye. Once he does, say, something casual, like, “Hi. How’s it going?”
If you generally say hi to him in the halls or at his or your place of work, bump it up a notch by adding something like, “Good morning,” or “Nice to see you.”
2-4. Like or “friend” him on social media.
This can be an easier step than saying hello in real life. If it wouldn’t seem strange, become his friend on Facebook or another social media platform. This works particularly well if you have mutual friends or run in similar circles.
If he’s someone you’ve been following on an online dating site or app, you can use the app to indicate through your profile that you like his profile.
When you like his profile or request to be friends, it can be a natural time to send a brief message. Even something like, “Hey! I really like those pictures you just posted” can be a conversation starter.
2-5. Make a statement.
This can make you look and sound very confident. Say something to him about your surroundings. This invites conversation and lets him know you’re interesting to talk to.
You can say something like, “Wow, this weather is incredible, isn’t it?” or “The coffee at this place is incredible.”
You can also ask him for help or directions. Say something like, “I’ve never been here before. Do you have a type of coffee you’d recommend?” or “Can you help me figure out how to get to the library from here?”
3. Letting Him Know You Like Him
3-1. Make sure he’s available.
You can save yourself a lot of embarrassment by knowing if the guy you like is available before you do something about it. If you don’t know him, you can try to find out a number a of ways.
Check for a wedding ring.
Online, check for photos of him with a significant other.
Listen when he talks. Does he reveal a lot about himself and his life without mentioning a partner?
Does he keep his eyes moving around the room, looking at people? This can be a sign that he’s single and looking for love.
3-2. Do something nice for him.
Doing something nice for him is a great way to let him know you like him without having to actually say anything. It can be a small gesture, but make sure it’s something he’ll notice and appreciate.
If you notice that he always shows up to class without a pen or pencil, bring one in special for him. Give it to him and say something like, “I noticed you usually could use one of these.”
If you work somewhere that he frequents, give him a small freebie or a discount if you won’t get in trouble.
If you frequent his place of work, leave a generous tip or bring him something. For example, you could say, “You always make such great sandwiches. I thought I’d bring you some cookies that I made myself.”
3-3. Be direct.
If you can’t tell if he likes you or is getting the signals you’re sending, you can always be direct. This can be very exciting for guys, since they won’t have to spend time guessing about your intentions.
You can be direct without being demanding. Say something like, “I’d really like to get together sometime, if you’re interested.”
In being direct, you can let him know what you like about him. Say something like, “You seem like a really interesting person. Would you like to hang out sometime?”
Some people like to be direct and say, “I have to tell you that I have a really big crush on you.” This can be seen as charming, but can sometimes put a guy off. He might not know what to do with this information or might feel put on the spot.
3-4. Write him a note.
This can be a cute way to let him know you’re interested. It can also be a way to slip him your number so that the ball is in his court. Keep it simple. You don’t need to profess your undying love right this second.
Write your number on a piece of paper and hand it to him. You can say something flirty like, “I believe you wanted this?”
If you’ve never met before or you have no mutual friends, you may not want to give out your number for safety reasons.
3-5. Send a text or online message.
Of course, you have to have his number or be connected to him on social media to do this. However, if it’s possible, this can be a fun and low key way to connect with him.
Say something more personal and interesting than simply, “what’s up?” Ask him something based on his profile or ask him for advice about something.
For example, you can say, “Hey, how was that new restaurant I saw you posted pictures of? I was thinking I might try it this week.”
3-6. Invite him to an event.
You may be afraid to ask this guy out, but he’ll likely be flattered. Most guys don’t get asked out very much, so it will probably be extra exciting for him. Think ahead of a fun event you want to invite him to.
Choose something that happens on a specific day, such as a concert or a sporting event. Don’t just choose something like getting a drink.
Say something like, “Hey, I’ve got an extra ticket to ____. Maybe you’d like to come with me?”
You can start off small; there's no need to invite him to a grand party the first time you do something with him.
Tips
Always follow your gut. If you think this guy might be interested in you too, he may well be. If you feel shy, take it slowly, but keep at it.
Be yourself. Confidence and being okay with who you are are the most important things to keep in mind when dating.
Remember that rejection is always a possibility, but that's okay. If this guy isn't interested, it doesn't mean anything bad about you or your character. Move on. There are plenty of other guys who are more deserving of your attention.

2,305 | How to April Fool Your Girlfriend | 1. Pulling a Prank in Your Girlfriend’s Home
1-1. Fill her room with balloons.
An easy, fun prank is to blow up a bunch of balloons and fill her room with them. Do this when she is out at work or over at a friend’s house. Make sure the balloons fill the room completely. Shut the door after you have filled the room so she is in for a fun surprise when she opens her bedroom door.
Go for balloons in your girlfriend’s favorite color to add something a little special to the prank.
1-2. Cover her room in Post-It notes.
Another good way to prank her space is to cover her room in bright post it notes from top to bottom. Layer the Post-It notes all over her furniture, the walls, and the windows in her room. Put Post-Its on her computer and other items.
Do this when she is away for the night or out of town. That way, when she comes home, she’ll be in for a fun surprise.
1-3. Wrap her belongings in tin foil.
Tin foil is a cheap, easy way to pull a prank on your girlfriend. Wrap all the items in her bedroom in tin foil. Put tin foil all over the items in her bathroom or her living room. Choose a room she uses often and make it harder for her to access by using tin foil.
If you have the time and energy, wrap her belongings in several layers of tin foil. This will make it harder for her to unwrap each item.
1-4. Place toast in her shower.
Make her shower nice and “toasty” by placing slices of toast in her shower. Position freshly toasted slices of bread in her bathtub. Then, wait for her reaction when she goes to take a shower or a bath.
2. Giving Her Prank Items
2-1. Give her a fake parking ticket.
Use a real parking ticket as a template and change it to her name. Make the ticket very expensive. Include a note on what the ticket is for and make it seem plausible, such as when she ran a red light a few days ago.
You can then mail the ticket to her. Or you can pretend to find the ticket in the mail and give it to her that way.
Make sure you tell your girlfriend that the ticket is a prank and not real, especially if she seems very worried. Say to her, "April Fools!" and rip up the fake ticket.
2-2. Put mayonnaise in her toothpaste.
Squeeze out her toothpaste and replace it with mayonnaise. Do this when she is sleeping or away for the day. Then, watch as she tries to brush her teeth with mayonnaise instead of toothpaste in the morning.
2-3. Make fake Oreos.
Scrape off the cream in Oreos and replace it with toothpaste. Then, give your girlfriend a box of the fake Oreos and watch her eat one.
Be careful that she does not eat a lot of the fake Oreo, as eating a lot of toothpaste can make her sick.
2-4. Send her a prank text message.
When she sends you a text, respond with a message that says, “This number has been disconnected. Please contact your provider.” You can also respond with a message like, “Who dis?” or “I don’t have this number in my contacts, sorry!”
If your girlfriend seems very confused by the message, you can send her a text that says "April Fools!" so she knows you are joking.
2-5. Give her a glitter bomb.
Glitter bombs can be made by filling an envelope with glitter. Then, give her the envelope so she is showered in glitter.
Do not throw the glitter bomb at her, as this can result in injury.
2-6. Create a fake proposal.
Put a ring pop in a ring box and wrap it with a bow. Then, give it to your girlfriend as a gift. Watch her reaction as she pulls out the ring pop, rather than an actual engagement ring.
This prank can be intense and should only be done if your girlfriend has a very good sense of humor. She may get upset at you for this type of prank, so do it at your own risk.

2,306 | How to April Fools' Prank Your Boyfriend Through Text | 1. Keep him guessing with a typing dot GIF.
He'll wonder for hours what on earth you're texting to him.
While you chuckle behind your phone, he’ll be waiting for the typing dots to become a message—with how long you’re “typing,” it’s sure to be one lengthy message!
“I have something I have to tell you.”
“We need to talk.”
“I haven’t been fully honest with you.”
2. Say you brought a new pet home.
If you live together, text him that you couldn’t say “no” to the cuteness.
Your boyfriend is sure to fall for this if you're an animal lover! Maybe this can be a trial run if you really do want to get a new furry friend.
“I may or may not have bought a puppy.”
“How do we feel about turtles?”
“Get ready for some kitty cuddles when you get home!”
3. Tell him you got a haircut.
Send him a snapshot of a wild look or alter a selfie.
This is a great prank to pull to see how he would react if you really did make a drastic change. Will he be honest, or will he pretend to like it to support you? Grab a screenshot from Google or use a hair color filter and send him a quick selfie with your “new” look.
“I dyed my hair🤪 Promise you’ll be honest?”
“Got a new hairdo this morning and I love it!”
“What would you think of a mohawk?”
4. Change up his schedule.
Pretend an important event has been moved to today.
All you have to do is take a quick peek at your boyfriend’s calendar, see what he’s got planned, and then send him a text saying good luck for something that isn’t happening for weeks. After he panics and checks his schedule, send “April Fools!”
“I thought I told you it was changed to tonight?”
“Good luck with your speech tonight 😊”
“Heard they moved your test to tonight. That sucks, but you’ll do great!”
5. Tell him something bad happened.
Allude to a scenario where you’ve made a big mistake.
This can be as small as not giving him a kiss goodnight, or as funny as not naming your fish Bubbles. Start with one of these phrases and then spill what silly thing is at stake:
“I can’t believe I just did that 🙃”
“This is really REALLY bad.”
“I made a big mistake…Please don’t be mad🥺”
6. Reference a non-existent social media post.
Ask your boyfriend why he would post something so scandalous.
Check to see what he’s posted on social media in the past 24 hours. Does he keep his Instagram stories up to date? Is his Snapchat an hour-by-hour play of his life? Use the context of what he’s posted, and send him a one of these texts:
“I can’t believe you just posted that.”
“I think you might’ve made a private story public 😳”
“Ummm did you not check the mirror in the pic you posted??”
7. Text him song lyrics.
Pick a song and send him the first line.
No matter how he responds, keep going, line after line after line. He’ll be so confused as he tries to piece together what you’re doing!
Songs like Elton John’s “Your Song,” One Direction’s “History,” and Ariana Grande’s “Into You” are great choices for this prank.
8. Send a fake news link.
Just Google “fake news generator” to create your prank article.
Then, plug a silly made-up headline into the generator. You can make the article feature your hometown or be worldwide news. Send him the link along with one of these messages to make him think something crazy is going down:
“I can’t believe this happened on my street…”
“And people said pigs can’t fly🤯”
“An actual UNICORN has been spotted!!”
9. Copy and paste upside-down text.
Make him think something’s wrong with his phone.
Start a normal text conversation with your boyfriend. Once you’ve been texting for a few minutes, plug your next text into a text flipping app, copy and paste, and then send the upside-down message to him. Keep the prank going while he goes crazy trying to figure out what’s happening.
You can find text flipping apps by searching “flip text” in your device’s app store.
10. Shower him with cat facts.
Your boyfriend will think he accidentally signed up for a fact messenger.
You can plug his number into a real Cat Facts app if you want. If you don’t want to subscribe him to an app, try texting him random cat facts from an unknown number:
“Cats use their tails for balance and have nearly 30 bones in them! <To cancel Daily Cat Facts, reply ‘cancel’>”
“Command not recognized. You have a subscription to Cat Facts and will receive fun hourly updates!”
“Did you know that cats can jump up to six times their length?”
11. Send him “nudes.”
Tell your boyfriend you’ve taken some special pictures just for him.
He’ll automatically think you’re about to send some naked pictures his way, but he’s about to be bamboozled! Instead of nudes, send him pictures of nude lipsticks. This is sure to make you both chuckle.
Build the anticipation by texting, “Hold on! I gotta make sure they’re perfect 😉” and then wait a good hour before sending him the “nude.”
12. Pretend to be your mother.
Use a different number to make him think he’s texting your mom.
This is a fun and clever prank, especially if you’re curious about his future intentions. Ask him uncomfortable questions, or give him a motherly lecture. Have fun, and remember to tell him it's all a prank in the end!
“Hello Robert. This is Alyson’s mom. I’m very disappointed in you.”
“Is this Billy? I haven’t been able to get a hold of Bridget. Have you spoken to her?”
“Have you two talked about marriage? I want some grandkids!”
13. Tell him your parents are coming.
Shoot him an early morning text saying, “My parents will be here in an hour.”
He’ll jump out of bed frantic and utterly confused, but how were you supposed to know your parents would surprise you? This is a great little prank to see how he’ll react to a sudden parent visit—just make sure to say, “April Fools!” after he’s gotten dressed.
“Sooo don’t hate me, but my mom’s on her way over. She wants to talk to you 😬”
“Just got a text from my dad. He wants to take us out for breakfast in an hour!”
“I may have forgotten to tell you that my parents are stopping by before work 😅”
14. Say you have the biggest prank planned ever.
Keep him on high alert with this easy and clever prank.
Simply text him throughout March saying you’ve going to prank him so hard on April 1st that he won’t know what to do. Drop some not-so-subtle hints to keep him guessing, and when the day comes, do absolutely nothing! He’ll be jumping at every door squeak and text notification wondering when the epic prank will come.
“They’re going to write a news article on me because of how epic this prank will be!”
“How do you feel about spiders? 😏”
“If I were you, I would avoid showers today hehe”
15. Get his hopes up with a fake lottery ticket.
Snap a pic of a winning ticket and send it his way.
He may think it’s a prank at first, which it is, but the more you insist, the more he’ll fall for it! After he’s had a few moments of glee, text back, “APRIL FOOLS! 🤣”
Prepare for this epic prank by buying a fake winning ticket. All you have to do is search “fake winning lottery ticket” online.
16. Send a “we need to talk” text.
Your boyfriend’s heart will drop when he reads these words.
He’ll immediately wonder what he did and why you want to talk. Tell him you want to chat about it later when you see him, and then fill him in on the silly reason you wanted to talk. Maybe McDonald’s is discontinuing your favorite cheeseburger, or you don’t know what color to paint your nails.
“Babe, we need to talk.”
“Can we talk tonight? I have something I need to ask you.”
“We need to talk about the elephant in the room.”
17. Text him in only GIFs.
Start a conversation and only respond with goofy video clips.
This is a cute and funny prank that’ll keep him guessing. Watch as he quickly gets frustrated, and then send him an innocent animal GIF along with “April Fools! 😂”
Add some classic memes to your constant GIF responses to mix things up.
18. Pretend your phone is glitching.
Send your boyfriend the same text over and over again.
No matter what he sends, keep replying with the same message. He’ll be convinced that your phone is freaking out, and you can have a good chuckle as you watch his reactions. Just make sure you fill him in on your awesome prank after you’ve had your fun.
If he tries texting you through another platform, keep the gag going!
19. “Lose” his contact.
Responding to one of his texts with “Who’s this?”
Wait for your boyfriend to text you first. Then, ask “Who are you?” and keep the tease going by pretending you don’t know who he is no matter what he texts next. Just make sure you eventually say, “April Fools!”
“Who’s this?”
“Do I know you?”
“Uhh who is this??”
20. Pretend to be someone else.
Tell your boyfriend he’s got the wrong number.
This is sure to confuse him, especially since he just texted you! Have a little fun and pretend a stranger received his text. You can even ask who he’s looking for to see what he’ll say about you.
“Umm I think you have the wrong number.”
“Who are you looking for?”
“This is Bob. You’ve got the wrong number bro.”

2,307 | Everything You Need to Know about the Zodiac Sign Aquarius | 1. (Dates, Element, Birth Stone, & More)
January 20th-February 18th
Air (intelligent, communicative, sharp)
Fixed (determined, inflexible, reliable)
Amethyst, Garnet
Blue
Water bearer
Uranus (innovation, revolution, technology)
Harry Styles, Megan Thee Stallion, Oprah Winfrey, Michael B. Jordan, Michael Jordan, Yara Shahidi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Stephanie Beatriz, Elizabeth Olsen, The Weeknd, Ed Sheeran, Bella Poarch, Shakira, Justin Timberlake, Christian Bale, Ashton Kutcher
2. Personality
2-1. Unconventional.
Aquarius is an alien walking among us. They march to the beat of their own drum—this air sign is always unapologetically themselves. No two Aquarians are the same, so each time you meet a water-bearer, it’ll be a brand new, magical experience. Aquarians fascinate everyone. Their whole life, they’ve been unafraid to stand out, and this is why Aquarians grow into deeply authentic individuals.
2-2. Intelligent.
Aquarius might just be the sharpest sign. Air signs are known for being the learners of the zodiac, so Aquarius is fascinated by new ideas and subjects. Our advice? Never take on the water-bearer in a debate, because you’re likely to get torn apart by this meticulous wordsmith. Aquarius’s brain just seems to be on overdrive. They actually tend to get bored with basic, everyday conversation.
2-3. Aloof.
When people get to know Aquarius, they’ll see that they have an amazing, loyal heart. But on the surface, Aquarius comes off as distant, cool, and maybe even a little stand-offish. Aquarius just hates to deal with inauthenticity, so small talk and niceties are off the table. And though this sometimes earns them a rep for being aloof, it also makes them fascinating to others. Much of the time, people become obsessed with winning Aquarius over.
2-4. Humanitarian.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of progress. Because of this, Aquarius obsesses over how the world can become a better place, and how they can effect positive change. Aquarius might be super into social causes, or they might just constantly think of ways to improve their friends’ lives. In short, this air sign is totally fueled by empathy, and it’s a big part of what makes them great.
2-5. Independent.
Aquarius is the self-assured, free spirit written about in epics. This sign truly doesn’t rely on anyone for anything—so if Aquarius keeps someone around, it’s because they’re wanted, not needed. Aquarius isn’t afraid to create their own path and strike out on their own. They might choose to move somewhere new where they don’t know a soul, or they might feel comfortable staying in on Friday night to curl up with a riveting documentary.
2-6. Relaxed.
Aquarius is always unbothered. Trying to pull this air sign into drama? They’re uninterested. Think Aquarius is about to stress out at the first sign of trouble? Think again. In this way, Aquarius radiates quiet confidence. Of course, it should be noted that Aquarius is totally capable of handling a crisis and taking down anyone foolish enough to challenge them. They just don’t need an audience!
2-7. Unfeeling, cold, reserved.
Some people don’t love Aquarius’ cool, detached behavior. In relationships, Aquarius is sometimes seen as too removed from their emotions, and too inexpressive. Their coolness can sometimes discourage new connections, and down the line, it might frustrate partners and close pals. Aquarius, contrary to popular belief, does experience feelings just like the rest of us—and even if it seems like a waste of time, they should consider sharing them.
3. Romance & Intimacy
3-1. Attracting an Aquarius:
Aquarius can be tricky, because they’re all so unique. Still, there are a few guaranteed ways to stand out from the crowd if you’re crushing on this air sign. Try to:
Bring up something random. Aquarius hates everyday conversation. Talk about aliens, conspiracy theories, or off-the-wall facts instead.
Focus on being their friend. Most Aquarius romances start off as a lovely friendship. Be a great pal at the outset, and let love bloom from there.
Be yourself. Aquarius can smell inauthenticity from a mile away. Focus on being as open and real as possible, because this will draw Aquarius in.
Wear something funky. It sounds simple because it is! Fashion is a way to express your individuality. The more unique you are, the more Aquarius will love it.
3-2. Signs an Aquarius likes you:
Aquarius can be tough to read, because they’re not a flirty sign. That said, if Aquarius is into you, they’ll drop hints here and there. Specifically:
They always ask you to hang. The line between friendship and romance is thin here, so if Aquarius always wants to be around you even as pals, that’s a good sign.
They hang onto your every word. Aquarius gets bored easily, but they never seem to get bored of you. Unlike other people, they find you fascinating.
They love what you love. If you love Greek mythology and suddenly Aquarius is reading up, that’s a great sign. This means that they trust your tastes!
They give you mixed signals. Aquarius themselves might not know they’re into you for a while. If you’re getting any romantic vibes, that’s a good sign.
They actually share feelings with you. This is big! If Aquarius gets emotional, they’re probably super serious about you.
3-3. What’s it like to date an Aquarius?
Aquarius will have you in stitches, laughing over something totally goofy. Then, all of a sudden, you’ll be wrapped up in an intense, challenging debate about global politics. This sign will be stimulating, fun, and totally devoted to their partners. You’ll grow to be a sharper, happier, and more authentic person—and you’ll have an amazing new best friend, too.
A day at the science museum or aquarium. Wedding crashing, arm in arm. Volunteering for a worthy cause together.
If you’re looking for fairytale romance, think again. Aquarius is a realist, and they hate mushiness. You’ll do well to focus on what you have, not what you’re missing.
4. Compatibility
4-1. Aquarius & Gemini.
What happens when you leave two curious, unique intellectuals in a room to bond? A gorgeous, Aquarius-Gemini romance. These two will eagerly share books, sifting through every topic under the sun together. They’ll admire each other’s brilliance, bravery, and beauty. These signs who get bored of everything will, miraculously, never tire of one another. Together, they’ll make up a dreamy, free-spirited, unrivaled romance.
Gemini isn’t sensitive by any means, but still, Aquarius might need to watch their tongue at times. This is a minor issue, but if they’re not careful, someone could get hurt.
4-2. Aquarius & Aquarius.
Aquarius feels like an alien in the world. Who better to understand their heart than a fellow water-bearer? This is one of the strongest double-sun-sign pairings in the zodiac, because what Aquarius projects (uniqueness, intellect, and a rebellious attitude) is also what attracts them most. Plus, two Aquarians will have the same MO in love. They’ll be devoted, while still allowing their partner all the freedom they desire.
Granted, Aquarius is a stubborn sign, which means that these two might struggle to fight fair. Both partners will have to remember that they’re on the same team, especially when tensions run high.
4-3. Aquarius & Aries.
Aries and Aquarius are idea people, revolutionaries at heart. They’ll energize each other, discussing all of their passions till the sun comes up. Aries will know exactly how to make Aquarius laugh, and Aquarius will know how to calm Aries down. In short, these two have it made in the shade—they’ll love each other, inspire each other, and stand by each other’s side till the end.
Conflict might not be a walk in the park. Aquarius is unlikely to give the emotional reaction Aries craves when they’re upset, and fielding Aries’ complaints will feel like pulling teeth for Aquarius. Both partners will have to focus on healthy, open communication.
4-4. Aquarius & Sagittarius.
Philosophical explorers of the world, Aquarius and Sagittarius will find the co-pilot of their dreams in each other. Wild adventures, silly antics, and spontaneous all-nighters will be the hallmarks of this relationship. But Sag and Aquarius don’t just bond because they crave excitement and novelty. Under the surface, these two are clever, open-minded students of the world, and this will help them forge a deeper connection.
Sagittarius and Aquarius are independent, and hate feeling locked down early in a relationship. This works in their favor. Still, for a romance to follow, there has to be, well, romance. Someone will have to plan dates, light the candles, and lean in.
4-5. Aquarius & Libra.
Like Aries, Libra shares Aquarius’ justice-oriented heart. Together, they’ll dream of how the world could become a better place, only breaking to giggle over silly memes or an impersonation of their partner. Yes, these two can match each other’s playful energy as well as their serious values, which makes them an amazing duo. Aquarius and Libra will just click, and communication will flow easily.
Emotionally though, who will do the heavy lifting? That’s the question Aquarius and Libra will need to answer. Neither partner wants to gush or get in deep, and yet, their romance will require it. Someone will have to take the reins!
4-6. Aquarius & Leo.
Leo is bright, and dazzling, but a little self-centered; Aquarius is aloof, and a humanitarian through and through. Surprisingly, these two can complement each other well—Aquarius loves to bask in Leo’s glow, and Leo can learn to look outside of themselves with Aquarius. Their spark will be powerful and fast-acting, but this partnership’s success relies on their ability to take things slow.
Aquarius and Leo have opposite romantic philosophies. Leo is a softie who dreams of a fairytale. Aquarius believes fairytales are dishonest; they’re realists in love.
If Aquarius and Aries follow their spark without a plan in place, they might crash and burn. Instead, they’ll have to ease into a relationship carefully.
4-7. Aquarius & Capricorn.
When serious, status-driven Capricorn meets the free-spirited, funky Aquarius, an attraction is imminent. Aquarius will fascinate Cap like their favorite mystery novel, and Aquarius is attracted to outcasts. That doesn’t seem like Capricorn at first glance, but internally, this earth sign battles to fully accept themself, which will draw Aquarius in like a moth to a flame.
But that’s not to say there aren’t major hurdles to overcome here. Cap is judgmental, and if Aquarius can’t learn to roll with the punches, they’ll be over it quickly.
Socially, Cap might struggle with Aquarius’ openness and authenticity (which sometimes, can look like performance art to the untrained eye).
These signs will need to focus on putting their love before other selfish instincts to make it out of the gate. But if they do, this could be a very special pairing!
4-8. Aquarius & Scorpio.
If you’re a fan of enemies-to-lovers, look no further than the Aquarius-Scorpio relationship. Aquarius and Scorpio are sharp signs, capable of tearing you down with powerful, biting words. In each other, they’ll find their perfect match: someone equally determined, bold, and loyal to their circle. If they find something to unite them, an intense, steamy connection will follow. If they don’t, well, they’re unlikely to get along.
The hurdles don’t end there. Scorpio, a water sign, needs an emotional connection. For Aquarius, deep feelings sit like oil in water. These two will need to find a way to meet in the middle.
In short: only the strongest Scorpio-Aquarius relationships will survive, but if they do, they’ll be an incredible match.
4-9. Aquarius & Virgo.
Virgo and Aquarius have the same values deep down: they live to serve other people, and they’re loyal to a fault. This could make them amazing life partners to each other, but is it enough? It depends. On a surface level, these two might struggle to get in sync, and in order to enjoy their deeper compatibility, that early connection will be a must.
At first glance, Virgo looks like a stiff with a day planner. Aquarius, on the other hand, looks a vagabond wild child. Both signs will have to find a way to see past the tropes to their partner’s inner heart. If they can’t do that, this romance is unlikely to happen.
4-10. Aquarius & Pisces.
Aquarius and Pisces are both otherworldly in their own right, and this can work in their favor. They’ll enjoy people-watching from the corner of the room, and sharing things they just can’t say to anyone else. This is huge for their compatibility—which is good, because there are plenty of hurdles on the horizon for these kind, unconventional souls.
Pisces needs someone who’s in touch with their feelings, but Aquarius prefers to call long-distance. Aquarius needs someone with thick skin, and that’s not Pisces. These two will have to compromise and communicate to keep things running smoothly.
4-11. Aquarius & Taurus.
Taurus is romantic, sensual, and conventional. They want the white picket fence and 401k to match, but to most Aquarians, that sounds like a prison sentence. If these two end up in a relationship, they’re likely to enjoy stimulating conversations and hopefully, inspire each other to grow. It’s also possible that Aquarius will feel suffocated and Taurus will feel frustrated. Ultimately, this is a tough match.
Hope isn’t lost. Venus and Mercury are arguably the most important signs for romantic compatibility, so if those pair well, these two could definitely make it work.
Plus, Taurus and Aquarius are both deeply loyal people, which will help them to build trust over time. That’s huge!
4-12. Aquarius & Cancer.
Cancer is emotional, traditional, and routine-oriented—which generally makes them a poor match for Aquarius. These two want opposite things in love. Cancer’s after a sweet soul who loves to cuddle. Aquarius just wants an open-minded co-conspirator. At first glance, they don’t have much to offer each other. The most intense emotion between these two isn’t likely to be affection, but anger.
But is everything doomed for these two? Absolutely not. Sun signs aren’t the full picture, and if their charts are compatible in other areas, they might not have any issues at all, especially if they have other interests and passions in common.

(Dates, Element, Birth Stone, & More)\\n\\nJanuary 20th-February 18th\\n Air (intelligent, communicative, sharp)\\n Fixed (determined, inflexible, reliable)\\n Amethyst, Garnet\\n Blue\\n Water bearer\\n\\n Uranus (innovation, revolution, technology)\\n Harry Styles, Megan Thee Stallion, Oprah Winfrey, Michael B. Jordan, Michael Jordan, Yara Shahidi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Stephanie Beatriz, Elizabeth Olsen, The Weeknd, Ed Sheeran, Bella Poarch, Shakira, Justin Timberlake, Christian Bale, Ashton Kutcher\\n2. Personality\\n2-1. Unconventional.\\nAquarius is an alien walking among us. They march to the beat of their own drum—this air sign is always unapologetically themselves. No two Aquarians are the same, so each time you meet a water-bearer, it’ll be a brand new, magical experience. Aquarians fascinate everyone. Their whole life, they’ve been unafraid to stand out, and this is why Aquarians grow into deeply authentic individuals.\\n2-2. Intelligent.\\nAquarius might just be the sharpest sign. Air signs are known for being the learners of the zodiac, so Aquarius is fascinated by new ideas and subjects. Our advice? Never take on the water-bearer in a debate, because you’re likely to get torn apart by this meticulous wordsmith. Aquarius’s brain just seems to be on overdrive. They actually tend to get bored with basic, everyday conversation.\\n2-3. Aloof.\\nWhen people get to know Aquarius, they’ll see that they have an amazing, loyal heart. But on the surface, Aquarius comes off as distant, cool, and maybe even a little stand-offish. Aquarius just hates to deal with inauthenticity, so small talk and niceties are off the table. And though this sometimes earns them a rep for being aloof, it also makes them fascinating to others. Much of the time, people become obsessed with winning Aquarius over.\\n2-4. Humanitarian.\\nAquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of progress. Because of this, Aquarius obsesses over how the world can become a better place, and how they can effect positive change. Aquarius might be super into social causes, or they might just constantly think of ways to improve their friends’ lives. In short, this air sign is totally fueled by empathy, and it’s a big part of what makes them great.\\n2-5. Independent.\\nAquarius is the self-assured, free spirit written about in epics. This sign truly doesn’t rely on anyone for anything—so if Aquarius keeps someone around, it’s because they’re wanted, not needed. Aquarius isn’t afraid to create their own path and strike out on their own. They might choose to move somewhere new where they don’t know a soul, or they might feel comfortable staying in on Friday night to curl up with a riveting documentary.\\n2-6. Relaxed.\\nAquarius is always unbothered. Trying to pull this air sign into drama? They’re uninterested. Think Aquarius is about to stress out at the first sign of trouble? Think again. In this way, Aquarius radiates quiet confidence. Of course, it should be noted that Aquarius is totally capable of handling a crisis and taking down anyone foolish enough to challenge them. They just don’t need an audience!\\n2-7. Unfeeling, cold, reserved.\\nSome people don’t love Aquarius’ cool, detached behavior. In relationships, Aquarius is sometimes seen as too removed from their emotions, and too inexpressive. Their coolness can sometimes discourage new connections, and down the line, it might frustrate partners and close pals. Aquarius, contrary to popular belief, does experience feelings just like the rest of us—and even if it seems like a waste of time, they should consider sharing them.\\n3. Romance & Intimacy\\n3-1. Attracting an Aquarius:\\nAquarius can be tricky, because they’re all so unique. Still, there are a few guaranteed ways to stand out from the crowd if you’re crushing on this air sign.

Focus on being as open and real as possible, because this will draw Aquarius in.\\nWear something funky. It sounds simple because it is! Fashion is a way to express your individuality. The more unique you are, the more Aquarius will love it.\\n3-2. Signs an Aquarius likes you:\\nAquarius can be tough to read, because they’re not a flirty sign. That said, if Aquarius is into you, they’ll drop hints here and there. Specifically:\\n\\nThey always ask you to hang. The line between friendship and romance is thin here, so if Aquarius always wants to be around you even as pals, that’s a good sign.\\nThey hang onto your every word. Aquarius gets bored easily, but they never seem to get bored of you. Unlike other people, they find you fascinating.\\nThey love what you love. If you love Greek mythology and suddenly Aquarius is reading up, that’s a great sign. This means that they trust your tastes!\\nThey give you mixed signals.

2,308 | Aquarius Man & Leo Woman Compatibility: Sex, Emotions, Communication & More | 1. Aquarius Man & Leo Woman Compatibility Overview
An Aquarius man and a Leo woman make a great (and intense) match.
These two are the social butterflies of the zodiac. Always ready for a night on the town, they have no problem planning date nights and having a good time. But while their passionate natures can make them an ideal pair in many ways (including in bed), it’s also those very natures that can cause these two fixed signs to clash on occasion.
As long as they maintain good communication and keep their egos under control, Aquarians and Leos are a match made in heaven.
As opposites on the zodiac wheel, Leo (born July 23 to August 22) and Aquarius (born January 20 to February 18) are natural complements.
2. Sexual Compatibility
2-1. Aquarius men and Leo women are very sexually compatible.
Both signs are great in the sack, and they only bring out the best (and most erotic) in each other. Leo’s creativity, physicality, and passion make her a very sensual lover, while Aquarius’s tendency toward experimentation is sure to keep his Leo partner aroused.
While Aquarius men (whose element is air) have a habit of being too in their head, the passion of a Leo lover (whose element is fire) will bring out her Aquarius’s animal side.
An Aquarius man’s penchant for exploration, kinkiness, and risque behavior is guaranteed to pair well with Leo’s high sex drive.
2-2. Their sexual chemistry won’t fade in a hurry.
Aquarians and Leos share an innate understanding of both how to be intense and how to inspire intensity in others, meaning their sex life is bound to stay passionate long after the honeymoon phase is over.
Aquarius men respond to uniqueness and people who know how to present themselves, and presentation is a Leo woman’s forte. Proud Leo, represented by the lion, is famous for showing off and being the center of attention, making her the perfect sign to catch an Aquarius’s eye.
3. Emotional Compatibility
3-1. Aquarius and Leo can be a bit too competitive.
As fixed signs, Aquarius and Leo are both known for their courage and boldness—and for their occasional pigheadedness. For a Leo and an Aquarius to maintain a successful relationship, they’ll have to put compromise to keep the peace.
Aquarians and Leos’ shared attributes are a double-edged sword. Their intensity and competitiveness are probably what made them stand out to one another in the first place, but fighting to be number one all the time is sure to sour a relationship quickly.
3-2. Aquarius and Leo have a lot to teach one another.
A Leo woman, being one of the most emotional signs in the zodiac, can be a good sounding board for an Aquarius man as she'll help him let loose and feel the emotions he's been bottling up. Aquarius can help give Leo the grounding she lacks so that she can gain better control of her emotions.
When these two signs see their differences as inspiration for personal growth rather than impetuses to fight, their relationship thrives.
3-3. Both signs are good at separating sexuality from friendship.
Despite their intensity in the bedroom, Aquarius and Leo are both able to move fluidly from sex to friendship. This makes Leo and Aquarius ideal friends with benefits, though there is still strong potential for a committed relationship.
If a Leo woman wants to establish a relationship with an Aquarius man, she must be his friend first—just be careful not to get stuck in the friend zone, as the lines between friendship and romance blur easily for Aquarians.
Their status as fixed signs also makes them fiercely independent, which means their relationship won’t suffer from either partner being overly anxious or watchful.
4. Communication Compatibility
Aquarius’s intellectualism can come off dismissive of Leo’s emotions.
But to be fair, Leo’s intensity and passion can make her prone to overreaction at times. Though Aquarius men are generally well-spoken and good communicators, the two signs may struggle to understand one another without lots of patience.
Aquarians and Leos are naturally distrustful signs. In order to overcome their trust issues, they will have to have many open conversations with one another about their fears and insecurities, and explicitly state their needs so that their partner can meet them.
As long as the two practice patience with one another and resist their urges to be the center of attention or have the last word, they will do well.
5. Values Compatibility
Aquarius men and Leo women share compatible values.
An Aquarius man values independence, loyalty, and care—all qualities of a Leo woman. An Aqua guy won’t settle for anything less than a partner who loves him ferociously, which is what Leo does best. And a Leo woman values creativity, charisma, and honesty—qualities of an Aquarius man. His charm and unique way of viewing the world are a Leo magnet.
Both Aquarius and Leo are very independent, meaning there’s no danger of either of them losing their identities in the relationship.
While Aquarius values loyalty, he struggles to commit himself. He will appreciate her fierce commitment to him—but may struggle to return the devotion in equal measure.
6. Potential Challenges
6-1. A Leo may grow frustrated with her Aquarius partner’s need for space.
Though both signs are highly independent, Aquarius men can become distant, even from people they care for. A Leo woman, as the most affectionate zodiac sign, will have to be patient with her Aquarius man and give him the space he needs, but the Aqua guy will have to tune into his Leo’s emotional needs to be sure they are being met.
While Leos are big on personal displays of affection, Aquarians don't like feeling controlled or pressured to commit. They can find a middle ground through experimentation: private displays of affection or subtler public affection may satisfy Leo without overwhelming Aquarius.
It may behoove an Aquarius and Leo to schedule quality time, as well as alone time.
Couples therapy may also help these two intense signs thrive in their relationship.
6-2. Both signs will have to curb their ego.
Ego and competitiveness are often the result of insecurity: both signs may worry that their partner's "victories" will diminish their own. Discussing insecurities openly with one another or with a therapist will reduce competitiveness and strengthen the relationship.
Leo's and Aquarius's passion and independence are two attributes that draw them together, but the dark side of these qualities is stubbornness and competitiveness, which can spoil their relationship.
If they keep on top of their egos and don’t let it overtake their partnership, they will be happy together for a long time.

2,309 | Signs an Aquarius Man is in Love with You, Plus Compatibility Tips | 1. Signs of an Aquarius Man in Love
1-1. He involves you in his life and wants to spend time with you.
While an Aquarius tend to value his “alone” time, that’ll start to change when he falls in love. He’ll go out of his way to hang out with you, ask you to spend time with his close-knit inner circle of friends, and even invite you over to his home—which is significant because Aquarians are protective of their space. It means he’s invested in you!
An Aquarius usually has a small group of close friends (rather than a large circle of casual ones). If he wants you to meet them, it’s because you’re an essential part of his life.
Keep in mind that Aquarius guys are still independent by nature; if he ever does ask for a little alone time, let him have it. He’ll appreciate your understanding.
1-2. He’s always happy to see you.
While Aquarians are outgoing and love to meet new people, they can also get bored and move on quickly. If your Aquarius guy is over the moon every time he sees you and only seems to get more eager every time you’re together, he’s definitely falling for you. The deeper his feelings are, the more consistent he’ll be with his affection.
As an air sign, Aquarius can be erratic and inconsistent—especially at the beginning of a relationship. When he starts spending time with you regularly, he’s falling for you.
Try to match your Aquarius guy’s energy and show him you’re interested without overwhelming him. Stay upbeat, so he knows that he makes you happy, too.
1-3. He’s curious about you and wants to know your opinions.
When an Aquarius is in love with you, he’ll spend hours talking to you about anything and everything—from politics to music. You’ll notice that he asks you questions about yourself and your opinions on every topic you discuss because he wants to get to know you better.
When he asks you questions, engage with the conversation. Be ready to talk about anything and express your ideas freely.
Don’t push yourself to be anything you’re not. Just be honest and open, and let him see all of your most unique qualities. Aquarius loves individuality, so he’s sure to fall for you.
Aquarius longs for intellectual stimulation, which is why the easiest way to his heart is deep conversation and open-minded exchanges of ideas.
1-4. He shares more about himself and lets his guard down with you.
An Aquarius guy transforms when he falls in love; he’ll likely keep things casual and aloof when you’re just a friend, but those barriers disappear when things get serious. He’ll let himself be vulnerable and tell you about his hopes, dreams, and wildest ideas because he trusts you with them wholeheartedly.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of invention, which makes Aquarius an innovator and humanitarian. He wants to make the world a better place and share his progressive ideas with someone who can appreciate them.
Don’t push him to reveal more than he’s ready for, or he might back off. Just listen and accept him for who he is; he’ll adore anyone who embraces his originality with an open mind.
1-5. He doesn’t flirt with anyone but you.
Although clever Aquarius guys enjoy swapping flirty, teasing wordplay with people, they’re also loyal. Once an Aquarius realizes he’s falling for you, he’ll start flirting to get your attention. You’ll notice that he isn’t flirty around other people, but he really steps up the flirty banter and teasing comments around you.
Reciprocate if you catch him flirting! Aquarius’s intellectual air sign nature makes him much more receptive to playful banter than physical seduction (at first, anyway).
Flirt with an Aquarius guy by gently teasing him about how much you like him, sending clever texts, and discussing mutual passions.
1-6. He’s thoughtful and goes out of his way to make romantic gestures.
If an Aquarius guy is in love, he’ll take action to show you how important you are to him, like picking up your coffee order before work or offering to dogsit while you’re out of town. He’ll also do little romantic things to make you feel special, like cooking your favorite dinner or getting you a small trinket because he’s thinking of you.
Return the favor for your Aquarius and get him something he’ll enjoy. Aquarians like anything that stimulates them mentally, like books and tech gadgets. Alternatively, donate to a cause that’s important to him!
1-7. He admits his feelings indirectly with compliments and sweet remarks.
Aquarians don’t usually wear their emotions on their sleeve, but if he’s in love, he won’t want to hide them from you. It might take a while to say “I love you,” but he’ll show you how he feels by giving thoughtful, earnest compliments and telling you how much he values your company.
Give him compliments, too. Aquarius guys take pride in their intellect and originality, so be sure to praise his creative ideas and problem-solving skills.
1-8. He’s openly affectionate when you’re alone together.
Aquarius guys shy away from PDA, but they’re incredibly loving in private. Take a look at his behavior when you’re hanging out one-on-one: is he always finding an excuse to touch you? Does he hug you all the time and smother you with kisses? That’s a sign he loves you.
An Aquarius guy in love might eventually try a little PDA. He’s not the type to kiss you passionately in front of others, but he might start holding your hand more!
If you feel the same, give him the intimacy he’s craving when you’re alone. Be physically affectionate and show him his love is reciprocated.
1-9. He plans exciting adventures and getaways with you.
Aquarius craves fun, exploration, and discovery—and he’ll want to share those experiences with the person he loves most! If he starts planning adventurous dates or asking you about whirlwind weekend getaways to places you’ve never been before, it’s a sign that he wants you to be in his life permanently.
Take the initiative and surprise him with a few adventures of your own. Aquarius guys are drawn to mystery and spontaneity, and they like it when their partner invests as much energy into the relationship as they do.
1-10. He directly expresses interest in a committed relationship.
Aquarius is free-spirited, so he won’t want to be tied down until he’s sure he loves you. If your Aquarius guy starts talking about going steady and tells you how happy he is with your relationship, he’s finally settling into the idea of being attached. And when he does, he’ll want you to know just how serious he is.
Aquarius is a fixed sign, meaning he’s dependable, loyal, and determined.
While Aquarius might seem a little inconsistent at the beginning of a relationship, his dependability shows itself when he falls in love. Once he’s committed, your Aquarius will be with you for the long haul.
2. Why do Aquarius guys pull away?
2-1. Some Aquarius guys can get overwhelmed by your feelings.
If he feels like he’s being pressured to spend more time with you or commit faster than he’s ready for, Aquarius might back off. Aquarians are loyal partners but still independent and need time to themselves. It takes time for Aquarius to get in touch with his feelings, so he might back off before realizing he cares about you too.
If he seems distant, give him a little space and focus on being his friend first and foremost. Aquarius likes to blend love and friendships, so tell him that you value his friendship and let him set a pace he’s comfortable with.
Pace yourself when it comes to calls and texts, too. Don’t message him more than once until you get a reply.
2-2. He might not feel like his emotions are reciprocated.
Aquarius might act distant after realizing he’s in love if he doesn’t think you feel the same. Aquarian guys want to know that you’re as serious about him as he is about you, so if you’re closed-off emotionally or physically distant, he might just assume he isn’t wanted.
Don’t be afraid to make the first move. If you spot signs that your Aquarius is in love, take the initiative and tell him how you feel. Aquarius guys actually like being chased!
Be clear about your attraction, too. An Aquarius tends to get lost in thought instead of actually doing things, so it’s important to step up and show him that you’re physically interested in him.
3. Aquarius Compatibility
3-1. Aquarius is most compatible with fellow air signs and fire signs.
Libra and Gemini, the air signs, are highly intelligent and best suited for keeping up with Aquarius mentally. Leo, Sagittarius, and Aries (the fire signs) bring out Aquarius’s passionate side. Sagittarius also shares Aquarius’s independent spirit, and Leo is opposite Aquarius on the zodiac wheel—so sparks fly between them!
Two Aquariuses are also compatible. They’re both driven by logic and a drive for social justice, and they’ll be able to appreciate (and support) one another’s bold ideas.
3-2. An Aquarian is least compatible with water and earth signs.
As water signs, Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio are deeply emotional and sensitive, which can be a little exhausting for a logical Aquarius. And although earth signs Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus are more down to earth, they also tend to have very traditional values—which often clashes with Aquarius, the visionary rebel of the zodiac.
There’s still no need to worry if your Sun sign isn’t considered compatible with Aquarius. Astrology is about more than just Sun signs; if you compare your astrology charts, you’ll likely find a good match somewhere on it.
Even if you don’t have many compatible signs, the most important part of any relationship is making an effort to understand and appreciate one another. So long as you do that, you’ll flourish as a couple!

Aquarius Moons are defined by their logical and unconventional nature.
These quirky signs have a strong sense of individuality and aren’t afraid to be alone and pursue unusual hobbies. Aquarius Moons prefer to use their head over their heart, putting their strong intellect and energy into humanitarian and social justice causes.
Aquarius is called the Water Bearer, but it's actually an air sign! Air signs are known to be sociable, objective, and intellectual.
Despite their independent and free-loving natures, Aquarius is a fixed sign. This means that they can be stubborn and unwilling to change their mind or opinions.
2. Personality Traits
2-1. Individualistic
You won’t find Aquarius Moons rocking the current trends or conforming to stuffy traditions. They revel in self-expression, making them one of the easiest signs to pick out in a crowd with their edgy, unconventional style and eccentric attitude. Aquarius Moons are completely comfortable in their skin and find solace in spending time alone.
Aquarius Moons are so unique and one of a kind because they are ruled by Uranus, the planet of individuality and rebellion.
2-2. Progressive
Aquarius Moons are champions for social justice. While they can be stoic and factual, Aquarians care deeply about improving the common good. They are open-minded and accepting of others, and are deeply driven to unite people despite their differences.
2-3. Unemotional
Facts and logic rule in an Aquarius Moon’s world, which can make them seem aloof and detached. They regard emotions objectively, so while they don’t like to get directly involved with their friends’ problems, they are happy to analyze them and offer their support, as long as it's backed by reason.
Aquarius Moons don’t enjoy sharing their emotions, and often don’t know how. Their feelings are deep, but extremely guarded.
While Aquarius Moons are extremely caring about helping others at large, their detached nature can create distance with their friends and family. If you’re an Aquarius Moon, remember to make time for the people in your life and allow yourself to be vulnerable every once in a while.
2-4. Curious
Aquarius Moons have a deep desire to understand how the world works. They love to talk about concepts and ideas, ranging anywhere from human nature and equality to technology and space. You will often find Aquarius Moons debating with their friends and perfect strangers alike to help expand their mind and perspective.
Due to their fixed placement, Aquarius Moons can be stubborn and stuck in their beliefs, even though they are open-minded to other perspectives.
2-5. Creative
There isn’t a problem solver quite like an Aquarius Moon. They use their huge imaginations to find solutions that make people’s lives easier, tapping into their humanitarian spirit. Their progressive and open-minded nature allows them to see areas that need innovation, so they can be a real force of nature!
2-6. Friendly
As an air sign, Aquarius Moons love socializing and making new friends. They are likely to have diverse friend groups, each focusing on the varied interests and causes they are a part of. They are often the friend connector, introducing people to each other to bring forth innovation and ideas.
3. In Love
Aquarius Moons need a partner who is their friend first.
They can be aloof and closed off at first, but will slowly open up when they find someone who is just as intellectual as them. As long as their partner respects their individuality and gives them a healthy amount of space and freedom to forge their own path, they are an incredibly loving and loyal partner.
Aquarius Moons get along best with other air signs, so it’s no surprise that they’re most compatible with Libra and Gemini Moons. They have a deep understanding of each other and appreciate one another’s intellect and space.
Aquarius Moons are also extremely compatible with Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius Moons. Air signs complement Fire signs, making for an exciting, whirlwind romance.
4. At Work
Aquarius Moons thrive in non-profit and technology fields.
Because of their passion for justice and bettering humanity, Aquarius Moons need their career to have meaning. Working at a non-profit for their favorite cause or putting their analytic skills to use as a therapist are great paths for them. Technology and business fields are also perfect because they allow Aquarius Moons to problem solve and develop innovative solutions.
Due to their sociable and friendly natures, Aquarius Moons are great at networking. Whatever career path they choose, they will rise through the ranks and find success.
5. How to Attract an Aquarius Moon
5-1. Impress an Aquarius Moon with your intellect.
Approach them as a friend at first, finding out what their hobbies and interests are. As you get to know them, show off your knowledge in order to establish yourself as an intellectual equal!
Aquarius Moons can get scared off if you get personal with them too quickly. When you’re getting to know them, keep your conversations about their interests, but don’t be afraid to delve into deeper topics like social justice.
5-2. Catch their attention with your unique style.
An Aquarius Moon won’t be able to resist you if you show up rocking an edgy haircut or eccentric outfit. Self-expression is important to Aquarius Moons, so experiment with your style and wear something that tells them who you are.
You might add a bold printed hat to your outfit, wear quirky jewelry, or show off your creativity by painting your own sneakers.
5-3. Tell an Aquarius Moon that you're interested in them.
Because Aquarius Moons like to start out as friends, it can be hard for them to figure out if you’re wanting something more. Don’t leave them wondering and tell them that you find them attractive! Be sure to compliment their looks and their unique style.
You’ll know an Aquarius Moon likes you back when they start to text you out of the blue, which will usually be a funny meme or an invite to an unusual activity that they want to do with you!

2,311 | Everything You Need to Know about An Aquarius Pisces Cusp | 1. Aquarius Pisces Cusp Overview
Born between February 15-21, this cusp is creative, kind, and spiritual.
The Aquarius Pisces cusp is called the Cusp of Sensitivity for a reason. They have the intellectual mind of an Aquarius and the emotional depth of a Pisces, leaving them with a deep understanding of their own and others' feelings. They spend their time drawing, reading, or writing to get out all the creative ideas racing through their head. In fact, they might just prefer spending their days with their head in the clouds.
An Aquarius Pisces cusp is a dreamy go-getter, feeling the progressive pull of Uranus, the ruling planet of Aquarius, and the imaginative influence of Neptune, who rules Pisces.
2. Strengths
2-1. Sensitive
Don’t think this means an Aquarius Pisces cusp is crying all the time—their sensitivity makes them extremely in tune with their emotions. The influence of intelligent Aquarius softens the emotionality of Pisces, giving this cusp the ability to deeply understand their feelings. They’re open to life and experiences like no other sign, wanting to feel the whole spectrum of emotions because that’s what makes life worth living.
2-2. Empathetic
Want to know what happens when you cross humanitarian Aquarius with kind and compassionate Pisces? You get a deeply empathetic and understanding person. You’ll catch this cusp at the front of a protest or volunteering for causes near and dear to them. With Aquarius’ social justice spirit and Pisces’ caring heart, their main goal in life is to help others.
Being a mutable sign, Pisces tends to have a more “go with the flow” attitude that can sometimes lead to flaking. When feeling the influence of Aquarius’ fixed nature, this cusp is more likely to follow through and realize their philanthropic dreams.
2-3. Spiritual
It’s not uncommon to find an Aquarius Pisces cusp nose-deep in a precarious stack of self-help books. Aquarians are extremely curious, who feel like the world is a puzzle meant to be solved. Coupled with Neptune’s mystical influence on Pisces, this cusp loves to unlock the secrets of philosophy and spirituality to get closer to the true meaning of life.
2-4. Creative
You’ll know an Aquarius Pisces cusp when you see them. With huge, Piscean imaginations and an off-beat Aquarian attitude, these signs might seem a little eccentric. They’ll dye their hair a wild shade and coolly wear outfits that would clash on anyone else. With their minds full of ideas, wants, and wishes, you’ll often find them scribbling in a notebook or brushing canvases to life with color.
2-5. Intuitive
If you need the lowdown on a new crush or figure out if a job opportunity is right for you, an Aquarius Pisces cusp is who you want to ask. This cusp just seems to know things, almost like they have a 6th sense. Their sensitivity and deep understanding of others helps them listen to and trust their gut, which is usually right!
3. Weaknesses
3-1. Unfocused
With their head in the clouds, an Aquarius Pisces cusp can be spacey and forgetful. This cusp is so focused on their dreams to change the world, that they can lose track of what’s going down on Earth below them. They might show up late to a friend’s birthday party or miss a dentist appointment entirely because they’re so caught up in their thoughts.
As an air sign, Aquarius can clash with Pisces, leading to disorganization. Pisces is a sensitive water sign who tends to overthink. When combined with Aquarius’ analytical mind and flighty tendencies, it’s no wonder they get lost in their own thoughts.
If you're a forgetful Aquarius Pisces cusp, jot down important reminders in your phone, calendar, or agenda. To stay focused, give yourself a to-do list each day, making sure to schedule in some time to dream!
3-2. Detached
An Aquarius Pisces cusp is so focused on things bigger than themselves, that they sometimes come across as aloof. While this cusp is one of the most empathetic signs in the zodiac, their perspective can be so macro that keeping in touch with friends and making small talk falls off their radar.
If you’re an Aquarius Pisces cusp, make time to keep in touch with your family and friends. If you send a daily text, organize monthly video calls, and make weekly hang-out plans, you’ll still have plenty of room in your schedule to focus on the big picture.
3-3. Moody
Empathy often comes at a price, which can cause Aquarius Pisces cusps to absorb more energy than they can deal with. There’s so many people and causes they want to help, so they often feel overworked and mentally drained. This cusp can then turn inwards, making them seem gloomy and testy as a result.
As an Aquarius Pisces cusp, it’s okay to take a step back and make time for yourself. Take a breath and de-stress by going for a calming walk, drawing up a bubble bath, and curling up with a good book—bonus if it’s about self-help!
4. Compatibility
An Aquarius Pisces cusp’s soulmates are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn.
These 3 earth signs are drawn to an Aquarius Pisces cusp’s sensitive soul. They will gladly look after this cusp when they get overwhelmed and patiently listen to their wild dreams. Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn help ground the flighty side of an Aquarius Pisces cusp, while they in turn teach these earth signs how to enjoy the mysteries of life.
An Aquarius Pisces cusp also gets along with the other air signs. Gemini and Libra can keep up with this cusp's thirst for knowledge and will love starting lively debates.
Water signs also make a great pairing for this cusp. Cancer and Scorpio are brimming with dreams and creativity, and also deeply understand this cusp’s sensitive side.
Love between this cusp and the passionate fire signs of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius often burns hot, but fizzles out quickly. If these fire signs learn to appreciate this cusp’s sensitivity, while they in turn live more on the wild side, they can work out.

2,312 | How to Aquascape | 1. Creating the Aquascape
1-1. Get inspiration.
Start by taking a look at different pictures of aquascapes on the internet to get some ideas for how you'd like to create yours. It's a good idea to look at pictures of aquascaping masterpieces in the IAPLC aquascaping contest. However, since many of those masterpieces are very large in size, they're probably unsuitable for your home, so if you want a aquascape smaller than 50 gallons (190 L), go to the Aquatic Gardeners Association aquascaping contest page for prize-winning aquascapes of smaller sizes.
1-2. Decide the size of the tank you want.
Tanks with a length of at least 60 centimeter (23.6 in) are recommended for beginners, as the water quality of nano tanks is harder to maintain. It is also harder to make the right choice of hardscape in such a small space.
1-3. Decide which type of aquascape you want to create.
There are different types of aquascapes, each a different style. Aquascapes can be further divided into different types, such as convex, concave or triangular aquascape. Decide which type you like the most:
Diorama aquascapes: These are aquascapes that imitate natural landscapes, such as forests or valleys. These aquascapes require a lot of hardscape materials, so it can be costly.
Dutch aquascapes: These are aquariums that display different species of aquatic plants neatly, based on the floral arrangements made in Holland. Hardscape items are not found in these aquascapes.
Biotope aquariums: These are aquariums that closely imitate the environment in the wild in which animals live.
Iwagumis: These are aquascapes that consist of rocks and carpeting plants. This type of layout is very simple in style and is based on a Japanese style. This type of aquascape represents a rocky landscape.
Jungle aquascape: These are aquariums that simulate the jungle, where plants grow wildly and have tall plants covering the whole tank and floating plants covering the whole surface.
Taiwanese aquascape: These are planted aquascapes with small replicas of structure or figure of people to imitate life.
1-4. Decide whether you want to have a high-tech or a low-tech tank.
High-tech tanks need stronger lighting and CO2 systems, which can be costly. On the other hand, low-tech tanks do not need a strong lighting and a CO2 system, which may be more suited to your budget. However, be aware that your choice of plants in a low-tech aquariums is limited, as only tougher plants, such as anubias, ferns and moss can really thrive, and the plants tend to grow slower without CO2. Low-tech tanks require less maintenance but if you are planning to grow red-colored plants, a high-tech tank will be needed.
1-5. Plan your aquascape.
Create a detailed outline of how your aquascape will look. To do this, either draw the aquascape out on a piece of paper using pen and pencils, or make one using an online aquascape planner. You'll need foreground, mid-ground and background plants, with each section of plants clearly differentiated for the landscape appearance to be obvious.
Don't forget to label the species of plants you would like to use as part of your plan. This will help you to remember to buy the right ones. It is okay if you do not know what plant to use, planting requires experience. you can go to the tropica website to see different plants and how they look in aquascapes to help you determine how you want to plant your aquascape.
1-6. Buy the supplies to set up your aquascape.
You'll need the tank, a filter and a suitable light And while CO2 is optional, you do need it if you're making the high-tech tank version.
Purchase a tank made from low-iron glass. Low-iron glass does not have the greenish tint regular glass has, so your aquarium will look clearer. Do a leak test after you purchase the tank, before planting it. Do this by filling up the tank and leaving it filled for 2 hours. Once you're sure it's leak proof, you can then empty it. It is better to be safe than sorry!
The preferable type of filter for your aquascape is a canister filter because it creates a strong water current and circulates the tank well. Note that the filter system needs both biological filter media (for example, a bioball) and a physical filter media (for example, filter cotton).
An RGB or white light will do for your aquascape. Ensure that the temperature of the light is between 6700k and 10,000k, to allow for good plant growth. Make sure that the light fits the tank properly. It is also easiest for you if the brightness is controllable.
A CO2 system includes a CO2 cylinder, a regulator and solenoid, rubber tubings, a needle valve, a check valve, a bubble counter and a diffuser.
1-7. Buy and arrange the soil.
Add soil to the aquascape first. If you also want to to put sand in front of the aquascape, place a cardboard barrier in first, to separate the soil and sand. Make a slope from the soil, to add depth. Always moisten the soil right before planting so that the slope won't collapse.
Choose an aquarium soil that is suitable for the plants, such as ADA Amazonia.
1-8. Arrange the hardscape.
Soak the hardscapes for 2 hours before adding the pieces to the tank. When adding the hardscape, follow the golden ratio by placing smaller objects at the back and larger objects at the front. This increases the viewer's perception of depth.
1-9. Buy the tank plants.
As explained above, a complete aquascape usually includes background, mid-ground and foreground plants. Only buy plants after you have completed arranging the hardscape objects, as it will usually take you a few days to create a hardscape layout that you're happy with. Since the plants can dry out quickly, it's best to wait until you are ready to add them to the aquascape. Of course, if you have an another tank, you could buy them and keep them in that tank until you're ready, or you could buy tropical 1, 2 grow cups or wabikusas, which will keep well.
1-10. Plant the plants in the tank.
It is easiest to use tweezers to plant your plants. Begin by wrapping the driftwood with moss (if you're using moss, as it is optional). Then plant the foreground plants, followed by the mid-ground plants. Finish up planting the background plants. Plant them diagonally into the soil so they won't float up easily.
To decide how many cups of foreground carpeting plant you need for your aquascape, use the rule that a cup can cover an area as large as your fist. You do not need to plant too densely; instead, just wait a bit and you will get dense growth.
For mid-ground plants such as anubias and javaferns (epiphytes), you can either tuck them in gaps between hardscapes or tie them to hardscapes with cotton lines to anchor them to the hardscapes. Do not bury the rhizome of roots of these plants in the soil, as it will kill them.
Moss can also be wrapped around a rock if you're using rocks in the display.
2. Filling the Tank with Water
2-1. Cover the soil first.
It is important to cover the soil to stop stirring it up when the water is added. Try covering the soil with plastic table sheets or you can use your hand or any non-toxic objects to stop the water flowing directly onto the soil, impacting it.
2-2. Fill up the tank.
Pour the water in gently until the tank is mostly filled. After filling up the tank, remove the plastic sheets (if you used them), turn on the light, CO2 (if using) and filter. Your aquascape will start circulating.
It is normal for the water to be milk white after filling up the tank.
Light and CO2 should be turned on for 8-10 hours a day.
It is normal if you see fungi growing on the driftwood, they will usually disappear within a week.
After cycling the tank for 2 weeks, you can put cleaner crews, such as amano shrimps and otocincleus. They can help remove algae and will break down plant wastes.
2-3. Cycle the tank for a month.
After cycling the tank for that long, if the tank seems to be clean enough, you can add in your own fish or ornamental fish that fit and look good with the aquascape. You can either choose fish that will contrast and stand out in the aquascape or fish that blend in with the aquascape, depending on whether you want a lively or harmonious aquascape.
Do not overpopulate the aquascape, as doing so will cause an ecological collapse.
3. Maintaining the Aquascape
3-1. Trim the plants from time to time to maintain the look of the aquascape.
Some trimming tips to take note of are:
Foreground plants: Trim the top layer of the plant carpet to stop the bottom layer of plants decaying. If this layer decays, it will cause the whole carpet to float up. While trimming, make sure to remove the trimmed-out plants as any dying vegetation will decay and pollute the tank.
Mid-ground plants: You don't need to trim these plants often, but if you think a leaf of the javafern is growing too large, cut it out.
Background plants: You can make the stem plants grow more densely by trimming them. When trimming for the first time, cut them at the lower part of the stem. Subsequently, cut higher each time.
3-2. Do regular water changes as part of your tank maintenance.
Change 33% of the water 1 or 2 times a week. Sometimes, even though the water looks crystal clear, there will be a lot of ammonia (a poisonous chemical for the plants and fish), so it is important to change the water, no matter how clean the aquascape looks.
3-3. Clean the filter media every one to two months.
Rinse the biological filter medias but not too thoroughly as there beneficial bacteria live on them and you'll want them to stay intact. Replace the filter cottons if you use them.
3-4. Feed your fish every day.
If you've added fish, they need daily feeding and be fed the amount of food they can eat in 2 minutes. This will avoid overfeeding or having excess food polluting the tank.
Tips
YouTube channels such as green aqua, George farmer, serpa design, jurjis jutjajevs or aquapros might help with choosing your design for the aquascape. You might also like to watch two times aquascaping world champion Josh Sim's presentation about aquascaping on the YouTube channel of Green Aqua before creating your own aquascape. That video mentioned everything that makes your aquascape beautiful and stunning.
Enter iaplc.com and go to "past work" for pictures of prizewinner aquascapes.
For iwagumis, the number of rocks must be an odd number.
Warnings
Remove any dead fish bodies from the aquascape immediately. The corpse will quickly rot and risks spreading diseases.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Creating the Aquascape\\n1-1. Get inspiration.\\nStart by taking a look at different pictures of aquascapes on the internet to get some ideas for how you'd like to create yours. It's a good idea to look at pictures of aquascaping masterpieces in the IAPLC aquascaping contest. However, since many of those masterpieces are very large in size, they're probably unsuitable for your home, so if you want a aquascape smaller than 50 gallons (190 L), go to the Aquatic Gardeners Association aquascaping contest page for prize-winning aquascapes of smaller sizes.\\n1-2. Decide the size of the tank you want.\\nTanks with a length of at least 60 centimeter (23.6 in) are recommended for beginners, as the water quality of nano tanks is harder to maintain. It is also harder to make the right choice of hardscape in such a small space.\\n1-3. Decide which type of aquascape you want to create.\\nThere are different types of aquascapes, each a different style. Aquascapes can be further divided into different types, such as convex, concave or triangular aquascape. Decide which type you like the most:\\nDiorama aquascapes: These are aquascapes that imitate natural landscapes, such as forests or valleys. These aquascapes require a lot of hardscape materials, so it can be costly.\\nDutch aquascapes: These are aquariums that display different species of aquatic plants neatly, based on the floral arrangements made in Holland. Hardscape items are not found in these aquascapes.\\nBiotope aquariums: These are aquariums that closely imitate the environment in the wild in which animals live.\\nIwagumis: These are aquascapes that consist of rocks and carpeting plants. This type of layout is very simple in style and is based on a Japanese style. This type of aquascape represents a rocky landscape.\\nJungle aquascape: These are aquariums that simulate the jungle, where plants grow wildly and have tall plants covering the whole tank and floating plants covering the whole surface.\\nTaiwanese aquascape: These are planted aquascapes with small replicas of structure or figure of people to imitate life.\\n1-4. Decide whether you want to have a high-tech or a low-tech tank.\\nHigh-tech tanks need stronger lighting and CO2 systems, which can be costly. On the other hand, low-tech tanks do not need a strong lighting and a CO2 system, which may be more suited to your budget. However, be aware that your choice of plants in a low-tech aquariums is limited, as only tougher plants, such as anubias, ferns and moss can really thrive, and the plants tend to grow slower without CO2. Low-tech tanks require less maintenance but if you are planning to grow red-colored plants, a high-tech tank will be needed.\\n1-5. Plan your aquascape.\\nCreate a detailed outline of how your aquascape will look. To do this, either draw the aquascape out on a piece of paper using pen and pencils, or make one using an online aquascape planner. You'll need foreground, mid-ground and background plants, with each section of plants clearly differentiated for the landscape appearance to be obvious.\\nDon't forget to label the species of plants you would like to use as part of your plan. This will help you to remember to buy the right ones. It is okay if you do not know what plant to use, planting requires experience. you can go to the tropica website to see different plants and how they look in aquascapes to help you determine how you want to plant your aquascape.\\n1-6. Buy the supplies to set up your aquascape.\\nYou'll need the tank, a filter and a suitable light And while CO2 is optional, you do need it if you're making the high-tech tank version.\\nPurchase a tank made from low-iron glass. Low-iron glass does not have the greenish tint regular glass has, so your aquarium will look clearer. Do a leak test after you purchase the tank, before planting it. Do this by filling up the tank and leaving it filled for 2 hours. Once you're sure it's leak proof, you can then empty it. It is better to be safe than sorry!\\nThe preferable type of filter for your aquascape is a canister filter because it creates a strong water current and circulates the tank well. Note that the filter system needs both biological filter media (for example, a bioball) and a physical filter media (for example, filter cotton).\\nAn RGB or white light will do for your aquascape. Ensure that the temperature of the light is between 6700k and 10,000k, to allow for good plant growth. Make sure that the light fits the tank properly. It is also easiest for you if the brightness is controllable.\\nA CO2 system includes a CO2 cylinder, a regulator and solenoid, rubber tubings, a needle valve, a check valve, a bubble counter and a diffuser.\\n1-7. Buy and arrange the soil.\\nAdd soil to the aquascape first. If you also want to to put sand in front of the aquascape, place a cardboard barrier in first, to separate the soil and sand. Make a slope from the soil, to add depth. Always moisten the soil right before planting so that the slope won't collapse.\\nChoose an aquarium soil that is suitable for the plants, such as ADA Amazonia.\\n1-8. Arrange the hardscape.\\nSoak the hardscapes for 2 hours before adding the pieces to the tank. When adding the hardscape, follow the golden ratio by placing smaller objects at the back and larger objects at the front. This increases the viewer's perception of depth.\\n1-9. Buy the tank plants.\\nAs explained above, a complete aquascape usually includes background, mid-ground and foreground plants. Only buy plants after you have completed arranging the hardscape objects, as it will usually take you a few days to create a hardscape layout that you're happy with. Since the plants can dry out quickly, it's best to wait until you are ready to add them to the aquascape.
