Equestrian Singles – Where to Meet Them

Posted by Unknown  | 

A horse lover, or any animal lover, would want to find someone who likes horses like themselves. While it may seem petty for some people, an equestrian who ends up with someone who dislikes horses or does not understand their partner's passion for horses is doomed to have a lot of potential relationship problems in the future. Weird but I've heard of some people feeling jealous of the partner's love and attention towards their horse. That is why horse lovers would want to find someone who shares the same love for the animal. But where do equestrian singles meet and mingle?

A primary venue where equestrians may find other equestrians is in a horse show or competition. There are also local horse-riding groups in the community which conduct meetings with members. Through regular meetings and competitions, you get the chance to see other horse-loving people in your area.

Unfortunately, few people find love in these places. Because horse riding is a competitive sport, it is hard to develop any romantic feelings for anyone in such arena.

That is why there are websites where horse-loving single men and women can meet. Through online dating websites, many couples have met and found "true love." The site works by asking any single adult horse lover to register and upload details for his profile. Or he can be asked to make a personal ad through video. The information is added to the database which members browse through. If they are attracted to anyone of the other members of the website, he may send messages to the person, and later on, meet her.

Aside from the regular online dating services, some sites have special match-making services. Using the information that you provided, the host website runs a program which can then check which couples have more potential of becoming lovers than others. Once they've found your "match," they would then set you up on a date.

Some websites are not mere dating sites but online equestrian communities where people with the same passion and love for horses meet and exchange ideas. Upcoming events in the community are posted in the website, so people will know if there will be a show, rodeo or competition anytime soon. They also have chat rooms and forums, perfect venues for equine lovers to interact and talk more.

Here's a word of caution, though. 

Never give personal details of yourself like your name, work or home address, and others, unless you've developed a deeper trust with the other person. The thing is, you are the only person to judge if the other person is trustworthy or not. You need to trust your instincts and be mindful of all details that you may gather. If your gut tells you that he is lying, then it is better to stop communicating with him during such early stages. Learn to be more attentive, and at times, investigate on the background of the other person.

Like horses, relationships have needs, too. As horses need to be fed and cared for, relationships need to be nurtured and loved. Meeting equestrian singles, in any possible way, is just the first step. If you want to develop a deeper, more meaningful relationship with someone, you have to work on it. Soon enough, you will find your special someone to share love with.

About the Canadian Locksmith Associations

Posted by Unknown  | 

Professional Locksmiths Association Nova Scotia is one of the groups a locksmith in Canada would want to be involved with to increase their chances of a solid career in locksmithing. There is also the Association of Professional Locksmiths, the Canadian Alarm and Security Association, the Master Locksmiths of Quebec, Inc., and the Professional Locksmiths Association of Alberta. While it is not necessary to overwhelm your schedule and your interests, joining at least one of these important groups can provide positive benefits. One of those benefits is to be able to keep abreast of the latest news and happenings in the world of the locksmith. Another benefit is to build a bond between yourself and others in the same field of work.

Making a positive image for a locksmith and his/her business is just one of the most important investments towards a healthy future in the business. Canadians take pride in their country and in their training for locksmiths. An apprentice must first be hired as a trainee, then must find a journeyman for a mentor, and finally must enroll in the apprenticeship program. Eight weeks of class at a college is required followed by an exam that is administered by the government. There are four periods of training this way that must be completed successfully before being given the honor of the Journeyman Locksmith title.

The Canadian locksmith must do more than simply memorize the test material to pass the written exam. He or she must understand and apply the material with competence. The hands-on learning is supervised by the instructor.

There is an annual locksmith auction for Ontario locksmiths, a golf tournament, a locksmith academy, an electric door operator class, and a locksmith convention. The basic locksmithing courses cost $300. There are separate costs for each area of locksmithing. Panic Exit Devices course costs $275, Lock Picking costs $175, Basic Safe Searching costs $275. There's also Access Control, Door Closer Installation, Tricks of the Trade, and many more courses available for advanced learning.

There is, of course, an at-home course that one can enroll in that suggests a budding locksmith can earn over $17 an hour after only nine months of training. Much like the distance courses offered in the United States for locksmiths, Kwikset and IICO are listed as the locks and key making machinery used during training. This course does give locksmith skills that are necessary; however, apprenticeship under an established locksmith gets you paid while you learn real life situations rather than textbook versions. You can learn much from a seasoned professional including what not to do!
Whether you are learning in Canada, the United States, or Australia, the education and apprenticeship are necessary to establish a base for a locksmith career.

Learning on your own may give you the barest of starts, but you will need to prove yourself worthy of your title. Many times the only way to convince future employers or future customers that you deserve their business is to be able to show valid certificates and licenses. Landing the big accounts will mean showing that you had the devotion and interest to prove yourself trustworthy.

Choosing Among The Many Hospitality Management Schools

Posted by Unknown  | 

Getting a degree in hospitality management can be a very big advantage on your part. It can bring you places, literally and symbolically. Having this kind of training or degree can heighten the probability for you to secure a high pedestal job that can give you a pretty big salary too.

Since more students and professionals alike are yearning for this kind of training, a lot of schools have popped up from nowhere and are now offering such kind of training. Although it can be tempting to just enrol in the first school you see offering this kind of program, you should learn to hold your horses down.

Just like when picking a school when you’ll be enrolling for any other college degree, choosing among the many hospitality management schools is also an important decision that you should not take for granted. There are a lot of so-called schools nowadays that provide fast programs for this kind of training. However, such kind of schools are not to be trusted, especially if the quality of learning and teaching is a pretty important factor for you.

As a guide, here are some of the criteria that you should consider while on the process of picking out a school that you are going to train in.

The Curriculum

The program’s curriculum is a very important factor that you should take into consideration. This is because sometimes, the curriculum is different from your expectations. Picking out the best school is a subjective matter. This means what is best for you may not be the best for others and vice versa. Thus, for a school to be the best, it should have a curriculum that would closely fit your own career goals.

So, before you enrol, ask for a copy of the general curriculum. In this way you can see an overview of what you would be studying. You would also see which of the many school curriculums in your hand would likely be the one to bring you closer to your dream job in the future.

Connections

You should also see whether the school is situated in a tourist spot destination. It is also helpful if your school has a pretty strong representation among major hotels. There is no harm in asking what are the establishments which your school program is taken from. You should also know whether leading industry companies are wiling to hire people graduating from that school.

Is The Program Bogus?

Another factor to weight is whether the program is to be trusted itself. Take note that there are now a lot of bogus institutions that have come into being just to take advantage of willing to learn people in this kind of trade. One way that you can know whether the program is legit or not is through accreditations.

Accrediting bodies are very much to be trusted; especially, regional organizations. So, see whether the school you want to enrol in has a regional accreditation or not. If not, they should at least have a professional accreditation from various organizations.

Credentials: Are They Fit To Teach?

The best school would always have the best faculty around. So, learn about the faculty’s credentials during your inquiry. See why you should trust them to teach you what they know about the program at hand. Learn about their educational attainment and their practical experiences in the industry itself. The more experienced they are in the field, the better.

They can seek assistance from friends and family members, relatives, banks, and personal savings. Most entrepreneurs on the other hand prefer to search for venture capitalists.

Aside from those mentioned earlier, a government entrepreneur grant is one of the most excellent options to raise business capital. The government gives grants to qualified entrepreneurs that would serve as financial assistance. There are different grant making agencies in the country, depending on where you reside.

These agencies have grant programs that you can avail as long as you're qualified. The US federal government, for example, is willing to spend about $400 billion for the government entrepreneur grants.
The best way to look for entrepreneur grants is through the internet. If you find it hard to do it online because you're not familiar with it, you can always ask your local government for information regarding the grants.

Grants are given for many purposes and for starting a business you must choose an entrepreneur grant. If you're lucky enough, you can find grants that offer business consultation, loans, and services for free. Oftentimes, local governments award entrepreneur grants to businesses that can potentially hire more employees.

Economic development is very important for every country. The economic conditions are unpredictable and volatile and so every country needs all the help it can get to improve its overall standing. Businesses are the major contributors to the success of the economy and so the government is always willing to extend the needed financial aid.

Some entrepreneurs are hesitant to get assistance from the government. But if you're one of those entrepreneurs with capital problems, don’t hesitate to ask help from the government. The government has a huge fund allocation for the grants. If you want to know more about the government grants, you can simply log on to the internet and search for these entrepreneur grants.

Before an entrepreneur decides to put up a business, he conducts a lot of studies to determine if the business is feasible or not. If he can prove the feasibility of his business proposal, the government will immediately provide the needed capital assistance through the entrepreneur grants.

If the working capital that you've raised from family, relatives, and friends are insufficient, try to contact the local government and ask for the requirements in order to avail the government entrepreneur grant. You can either do this online or you can visit the physical office of the local government of your state or country.

For those who qualify, you will provide all the important papers and receive the amount that you need. After that, you can already start your business. If the business is successful, you can already earn huge profits.

Car Detailing Tips: The Eight(8) Kinks and Hints

Posted by Unknown  | 

Dealing with some kinks can be such work but it’s all worth it. Although, there can be hints on how to do away with your kinks. Car detailing can be done or you can do-it-yourself.

1. If you wanted to wash the wipers of your windshield, use a mitt of a sponge reserved for applications which are harsh to the surface. You can make your windshields last a little longer by occasionally applying dressing treatments. You
should wipe off the excess treatment residues so that it won’t dry on that surface. Windshield wipers are expected to help car owners in times of rain and snow, more reason to take care of it upon detailing.

2. If you have a car that’s newly painted or has been repainted, consult the person who painted your car regarding the longevity of the wax that was put on your car because of the view that newly applied paints needs to be cured first to give way for solvents to dissipate as part of the entire process of detailing. If you “accidentally” applied wax even if the paint is not yet “cured” then the wax itself will interfere with the entire process of dissipation. New cars are exempted with this crucial period because owner can choose not to wait for waxing to be done because the paint of a newly bought car is cured inside ovens of factories that made the car.

3.  Use graphite oil for the mast of your antenna. Graphite coating will make lowering and raising more efficient without any signs of blockage and this will further make the electric unit become more reliable. This is most effective especially if you’re having a difficult time with your car’s antenna.

4. When you are at that point of cleaning your car’s glass either interior or exterior, make a vertical motion if you are wiping the exterior and use a horizontal motion in the interior. In these motions, you are sure that cleaning is more effective than what you ordinarily do. If you have any signs of streaking, surely, it’s not necessary to guess the side being streaked.

5. Spray products must be applied on a cloth rather than to the surface that’s being treated. In this case, you prevent smudges of unnecessary spray parts. You can prevent spraying nearby areas which will become an additional concern and add up to your work. You have to make sure that the cloth you use is gentle and soft enough so that scratches will not be evident.

6. To inspect the finish of your car, you can use the loupe of photographers which can magnify set ups of glass to be at the distance given on a surface. This will give you further insight on the paint job that you have done. You will observe more of what’s not seen.

7. In terms of decals, frames of license plates, stickers at bumpers and other distractions are not advised in a car that is well-detailed. This will just destroy the car’s overall feature and will give other meaning to the fact that the car is something made out of good detailing.

8. Once you see bird droppings, attend to the cleaning at once. The contents of their dropping are harmful to your car’s paint. Who would want bird droppings on their newly painted car? Nobody is amused by that right? This is also one reason why you need to wax your car because it will definitely protect your car from being damaged. Car detailing must be your first priority.

So, are the new appliances a good addition to the already strong GE lineup? Well, GE Monogram appliance reviews show a clash of good and bad. They are stylish and are a complement to the aesthetics of a household, but some people are left with a lot to be desired. The GE Monogram appliances are priced well and are easily accessible, but some products such as the 12 inch trash compactor are unreliable and don't quite get the job done. GE Monogram appliance reviews show a somewhat mixed opinion.

Taking a specific look at one of the GE Monogram appliances, reviews for the ZDWC240NBS Wine Cooler are spotty at best. The product is well crafted and looks stylish, but the main complaint is the lack of space in between the shelves. Consumers are unable to place certain size wine bottles. This makes it hard to actually cool wine bottles, which is the main purpose of this appliance.

One GE Monogram appliance that has received favorable reviews though is the ZSC2001FSS Advantium Electric Single Oven. It operates quickly and efficiently with its special cooking process: speed cooking by light. This allows the oven to cut cooking time by one-eighth of a conventional oven. And this technology isn't microwave cooking, although the oven can double as a 950 watt microwave if you want to reheat those leftovers from dinner. Perhaps its only downside is the hefty price tag.

Going over one more appliance, the GE Monogram Under counter Beverage Center ZDB24A is another of those products with wishy-washy reviews. It holds that sleek elegant look to it, as all Monogram appliances do, but the reviews that give it a bad rating had a unified complaint; the drinks aren't cold enough. Now, the name is somewhat misleading, being a beverage center and all, but one could at least expect it to do something more than look neat and pretty.

It's very clear that the GE Monogram appliance line stands out from the regular line due to the effort put into the appearance and aesthetic design. However, if you're looking to purchase one of these babies, make sure to do a little research because your new kitchen toy may not function as expected.

The Bang! How to Chose Retirement Gifts For A Police Officer

Posted by Unknown  | 

More Than Just A Badge Retirements gifts for a police officer may more difficult to plan than you think. Well, first of all, the police officer has already taken pride in his field of work, being recognized as an upholder of the law, engaging in apprehending the troublemakers, and having a fair share of action if they get really lucky (or unfortunately perhaps).

For a police officer who is about to formally end his active duty and leave the force, there is no better way to make the retiree proud by giving him recognition and acknowledgement for his loyalty and service. Furthermore, letting everyone else know of his significant participation in keeping the society safe
is the icing on top of any retirement gifts that may be given to him. As for the itemized part of such a retirement gift for a police officer, there are several ideas which may help one out in planning for a surprise.

A Service Firearm Beyond Duty

Usually the safest bet to think about as a retirement gift would have to be anything that is near or related to what he had in his environment during active service. One such item would have to be a service firearm. Definitely, the old service pistol or rifle that was issued to the retiree police officer would have to be surrendered back to the precinct along with the badge and other police things.

Most probably, the retiree will be missing his service pistol and might want to have something as close to his heart beyond active duty. Make sure that the retiree has a permit to have a firearm in possession, which most likely is already acquired. In relation to this, a good box of bullets would be an added plus to a retirement gift. It would definitely be better if the bullets would be customized as to having the officer's name engraved on each bullet. Now, wouldn't that be lovely and radical?

 If the retiring officer has a privately owned firearm, a good way to add up to the arsenal would be a holster, in full leather, and with some minor customization to it such as a personal tag for identification, or slips for extra bullets for reloading as well.

On The Lighter Side

For added fun or gag, one could give a gift with a twist. Instead of the usual real-deal firearm, one may give him a personalized airsoft gun or rifle and full battle gear. This would allow the retiree officer to have some fun and enjoyment engaging in non-lethal gunfights with other enthusiasts of airsoft.

Furthermore, the retiree officer would be able to have a knack and feel on letting loose a good barrage of pellets as bullets without having to worry much about the safety and lives of those who he plays with. He may casually just fire upon the "enemies" and get shot as well but without the blood and casualties which usually accompany these types of engagements had these been in the real setting.

Retirement gifts for a police officer may allow him to continue his passion of bearing the power and authority beyond his active duty, that without much complications of encountering bad elements in the society as a career. Remember, guns were the way to his heart for joining the force, let him continue enjoying them even afterwards.

Building the Foundations of Your Career in Medical College

Posted by Unknown  | 

 An individual begins his career as a doctor in medical school while an individual who wants to get into the fast growing and promising medical field builds the foundations of his or her career in medical college.
 As a result of an aging population and a technologically advanced society, the demand for excellent healthcare services and procedures is increasing and experts say that this trend will continue for several years henceforth. With this trend comes the proportional increase in opportunities for employment in the medical field.
Now students fresh out of high school and individuals with careers outside the medical path can now rightly contemplate the possibility of investing time and resources in medical college to be able to acquire the proper
credentials to enable themselves to be qualified for careers in the medical field.

To get into popular medical field careers such as those as medical encoders, medical billings, medical assistants, lab technicians, pharmacy assistants and medical supply sales specialists, one needs to undergo proper training and pass the examination for certification. Many of the most promising employment opportunities will require certified individuals to prove their competency and credentials for the job.

 Since is this is the case, be sure to check whether the medical college that you plan to go to for training offer certification courses or check if they can at least properly train you for certification. Otherwise, your time and effort will not be a very efficient choice after all. You can check out the different medical colleges in your area through their websites.

 Make sure to explore the websites of each medical college in your area and understand the different programs they offer as well as the different reputations each college has. A reputable school will look better in your credentials.

A career in the medical field will be challenging but proportional to the amount of challenge are the benefits and satisfaction of securing a job in this career. For instance, the training and certification for being a medical coder will not only land a job as a medical encoder in the different types of healthcare and medical facilities such as medical clinics, hospitals and outpatient facilities. But one can also decide to own their own medical coder business and earn more money by servicing different clientele through a successfully managed outfit.
This option will not only secure one’s financial needs but will also allow one to choose and manage their own time and schedules. That’s certainly more than one can ever hope for in some other line of business or career.
Good opportunities don’t abound for the medical coder. The same is true for almost all other types of career in the medical field. For instance, medical assistants can opt to take continuing education into the field of nursing. Once a medical assistant graduates into a career in nursing the pay and incentives are considerably higher for them.

This is why the money and effort into medical college is time and money well spent. Not many other career options can offer the same privileges and guarantees. This is why if you want to take advantage of this opportunity, you better be on the look out for a good medical college to apply for.
Even if you already have a job and cannot afford to take the time off to go fulltime in building a career in medical college, don’t despair. Most if not all medical colleges offer courses during flexible times to allow individuals to take continuing education without having to quit their day jobs.

Therefore, you also have to make practice different and new procedures and techniques that will give you the opportunity to offer a job in a price that’s reasonable and at the same time, competitive.

Take note, you have to be as professional as you can be. And, as much as possible, be patient to the things that you need to do. Don’t compromise the quality of your service just because time didn’t make it. Starting a car detailing business is easy if you know the rules of the game.

What Are The Best Sources For Hospitality Job Listings

Posted by Unknown  | 

Hospitality careers are in demand everywhere. As globalization continues to develop, so does the industry of hospitality. This is why the demand for workers in this field also evolved and has grown tremendously. If you would want to look for a position in this kind of expertise, then the best bet you have would be hospitality job listings. There are a number of sources in which you can find such kind
of listings. As a guide, here are some of them.

The Internet
The Internet is one good source to find job listings. There are basically two kinds of job listings that you can choose from, if you’ll be searching via the World Wide Web. First there is the generalized job listing and second there is the specialized job listing, The good thing about going online and searching for jobs is that you get to access various sources. You also get to check out the companies first before you even go and apply. Additionally, it has been a trend already that you can apply via the Internet. All you have to do is send them your resume via email. They’ll contact you if your resume passes or not. This is a real time saver and money saver! You save both time and money by not needing to go to the company’s office just to give your resume. At least, while you wait for their response, you can have the liberty to browse other job offerings from other companies.

Generalized Job Listing
The generalized ones are basically Web sites online that offer free classified ads for different categories. Thus, not only could you find hospitality positions but also other fields of work too like education, Internet based programs, health services and a lot more.However, you don’t have to worry finding the position you like as if it were a needle in a haystack. Web sites like these are most of the time organized by categories. They also usually have search boxes, so all you have to do is type it in and you get the results.
Nevertheless, this kind of source does not guarantee you that they would have what need; unless if they are a popular Web site and a lot of employers have posted their ads in the site.

Specialized Listings
These one would be Web sites that are specially made just for hospitality job searching. Here you could be sure that all the employers posting their ads are really inclined in the hospitality industry and are really looking for people who can work with them in the industry. There is a bigger chance for you to find more offerings in this kind of listing, compared to the general one.

Newspapers
Although it may seem low-tech, the newspaper is still a pretty good and reliable choice. The classified ads section is also organized and all you have to do is look for the category of Tourism/Hospitality. However, newspapers are only great if you’re looking for a local position around your area. If you want an international one, the Internet is still the best way to go.

Companies and Recruitment Agencies
Sometimes companies themselves and recruitment agencies post openings; try browsing through their Web site or visiting their office to see if they have something posted

The Basics of Hospitality Management International Work Programs

Posted by Unknown  | 

One good thing about hospitality management is that it can provide you easy access to the international limelight. You could have the chance to travel and work virtually almost anywhere in the world, as long as there is a need for the job. The industry’s support for globalization is very much evident with the many working programs available for you to take.
As long as you’re interested in working internationally, there is really no barrier for you to
enroll in one of these programs. However, you should not go enrolling in whatever program you see posted on advertisements. There are still some considerations for you to make before you get into any kind of training.
It is important to make these considerations so that you would know whether the program you are eyeing for is in line with your personal career goals. Here are some of them.

What Is It That You Want?

First off you should be able to establish your own career objectives or goals. You should understand that there are different career paths that you can take in this kind of industry. That is why you must check first the curriculum of the program you are getting into whether they are in line with what you want to be doing in the future. If your personal goal is to supervise a large hotel or have a senior management position in a well-known company, you would have to look for a program that offers a bachelor’s degree, since this is required for the kind of job that you want.

What Happens After The Program?

Next you have to consider the credibility of the Institution you are eyeing for. Is it located in a tourist destination and does it have a strong representation for major hotels?  What resorts, hotels, and tourist attractions is your prospected program drawn from?  Are graduates from that institution hired by the leading employers in the industry? Factors like these should be given some thought on.

What Are Their Credentials?

It is also important to know the credentials of the faculty whom will be training you in the program. It’s also important for you to know their industry experience, so that you can be sure that what they are teaching you are not just by the book but also based from extensive experience on the field. You would most likely encounter faculty in this field that have advanced degrees in education, business, or other disciplines aside from hospitality and tourism. This is quite normal as you can’t expect all faculties to be sole graduates of the study itself. In fact, it is considered a plus if the faculty has a mix of academic achievement along with management-level experience in business.

How About Accreditation?

You should also check out the accreditation of the program you are getting into. Is it regionally accredited?  By the term ‘regional accreditation’ this means being accepted by accrediting bodies which serve 1 of 6 geographic regions of the U.S. It is the responsibility of each accrediting body to serve the majority of private and public higher education institutions in whatever area they are assigned to. This kind of accreditation is very important if you plan on completing a bachelor’s degree or acquire some higher education.

However, there are also some other type of accreditation that can be helpful such as professional accreditation. This kind of accreditation is what other institutions have.

How to Write Simple and Standard Articles

Posted by Unknown  | 

This article is written for those who are new to writing Whether it's for a magazine, newspaper, your teacher, or even kyamba Aticles, writing an amazing article is within your grasp.  and here's I take you through on how to do it .

Writing Articles
Select a topic. Exactly what are you going to write about? When writing for 'us you may even wish to refer to requested topics for ideas.
Brainstorm for ideas if you have to. Take a few minutes to write down every idea that comes to mind, without evaluating whether the idea is good. When you're finished, read back over your list and pick out the best topic.
Your topic should be interesting to you. It's a lot easier to write an article about something you'd want to learn about.
When writing you must remain focused and concentrate on your work. Plagiarism is not accepted.
   
Knowing your audience.
Ask your self first whether you are writing for a beginner, an intermediate, or an advanced audience? For example, if you are writing an article about "Creating PowerPoint Slides using ms pp 2013," are your readers new to PowerPoint, or business people looking for advanced tips? Having a good grasp on who will be reading your article can help you orient the information and the tone so that it's as useful as possible.
 
Prepare  your research.
How well do you know the topic? Is it something you can write easily about with little or no preparation at all, or  you need more information from experts in the field? Visit your local library for sources, or search online. (Be careful about sourcing information from websites, though - if possible, make sure that your source is reputable and accurate.)

 Deciding on the length of your article.
Teachers, magazines, and newspapers will often give you a limit. Kyamba Articles, on the other hand, are often "between 500 - 800 words." Keeping a length in mind can help you decide what needs to be included in your article and what can be left out.
  
Write an outline.
However this is optional Not everyone writes an outline, but it can be helpful for organizing your thoughts. Start with an introduction that leads to the main point, at least 3 body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
Write the rough draft of the article  for example as follows:
 Tell your readers what you are going to tell them. This is your introduction. For example: This article explains how to create a PowerPoint slide presentation. It covers the following information: choosing a theme, creating a title slide, and creating topic slides. The information in this article is written for a beginner. The author assumes that you have never used PowerPoint.
 Tell your readers what you promised to tell them. In this section you tell them how to choose a theme, create a title slide, and how to create topic slides.
 Recap for your readers what you just told them. For example: This article taught you how to create a PowerPoint slide presentation. You learned how to choose a template, how to create a title slide, and how to create topic slides.
 Proofread your article. Read over your article aloud to make sure what you've written makes sense. Keep an eye out for misspellings or poor grammar, and double-check your facts.
 Proofreading your article again. This time, delete any unnecessary or contradictory information. The only time you should have information that doesn't support your topic is if you're doing a "point-counterpoint" piece. Eliminate anything that is just taking up space. Don't fill your work with fluff.
 Rewrite the article as often as it takes. Once you've rewritten it, ask a trusted friend or family member to read the piece and offer you constructive feedback. Rewrite again.



Adding a picture (optional)
If it's appropriate for your format, add a picture. It will stand out from other articles without pictures and give the reader more information on the topic.
