Q: Crease the folded middle with your fingers so that you can see it when you straighten the ribbon again. You should see the center crease in the middle.  Place your index finger on one end of the ribbon. Slide it in a semi-circle until it is perpendicular to the center crease.  Lift it and align it with the bottom edge of the center crease. Hold it on the center crease with your index finger. The ribbon should loop into an awareness bow, like the top of the breast cancer awareness symbol. Bring the inside edge around on the opposite side and lay it flat on top of the other ribbon end. It should be facing the opposite direction.  You will have a figure 8. Hold both ends to the center with your finger. Bring the center of the other loop of the figure 8 into the center stack. This will give your center bow two more layers that you must hold in place. Pick up the bow, while holding the center in place to see if your loops are even. The opposite side will be the front of your boutique bow.
A: Fold your thick ribbon in half. Lay the ribbon in a long line on your workspace. Place 1 finger on the crease to hold the ribbon on the table as you make your bow. Start a butterfly fold. Repeat on the opposite side. Bring the center of the loop on one side of the figure 8 onto the center stack/crease. Flip the entire bow over while you hold it.

Q: It can only be seen by you.
A: Open Pinterest. Choose a "Secret" Pinterest board, located at the base of your profile. Keep all your pinned images related to gift ideas secret in the relevant board.

Q: You must hold the position as marine captain for a number of years before applying to become a cruise ship captain. Develop an excellent track record. In the vast majority of cases, marine captains are promoted after serving as deck officer or third mate on that ship. The time until promotion varies by organization and company, as well as by your own performance in each position. Most cruise ships hire people from their country of origin. For example, most officer positions for Norwegian Cruise Lines are given to Norwegian citizens. The exception is their ship Pride of America, which only hires American citizens. You will need to check the website of cruise line companies to find out their hiring requirements for particular job openings. Because the field is so competitive, there is no guarantee that you will be able to find a position once you've obtained all the needed qualifications. There are several career paths that you can take while you wait for a job to open up as a cruise ship captain.  Continue working as a merchant marine captain. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs in this industry are growing with an expected rate of 14% growth between now and 2022, outpacing the number of new captains available, so the odds of finding a position in a freight ship are much higher than the odds of finding a position as a cruise ship captain.  Consider joining the U.S. Armed Forces or working for the U.S. government. Particularly if you attended a State Maritime Academy, the United States seeks capable and well trained captains who can meet its national security needs.
A: Work as a marine captain. Apply for cruise ship captain positions in your home country. Have a backup plan.

Q: Before you begin putting your brochure together, you'll need to know a little bit about the subject you've chosen or been assigned. Review your textbook, notes, and homework assignments to learn as much as you can. The more familiar you are with the material, the better your brochure will turn out.  Other resources, such as the encyclopedia and various educational websites, can help you dive deeper into your topic. Only use sources that have been approved by your teacher, and be sure to cite your external sources on the last page of your brochure. Think about the best way to present your topic. You might offer a general overview of a complex subject, or zoom in on one or two specific points. The best brochures display information in a simple, focused way.  If you're making a brochure on the Declaration of Independence, for example, you'd want to briefly summarize what the document says and name all of the people who signed it. Put your title front and center on the outermost panel, the one that will be visible while the brochure is folded. That way, it will be the first thing your reader sees. Beneath your title, display your full name to make it clear who created the brochure.  Try to come up with a title that's short, punchy, and easy to remember. The title of your brochure should let your reader know what to expect right away. For a brochure about climate change, you could go with a straightforward title like “Climate Change,” or think of something more attention-grabbing, such as “Climate Change: The Silent Killer.” In 3-5 sentences, give your reader a general introduction to the subject you'll be exploring in your brochure. Your introduction will set the stage for the rest of the brochure and help the reader better understand the information they're about to be given. An introduction to a geography brochure on the Maldives might say something like this: “The Maldives is a country in Asia located south of India and Sri Lanka. It is made up of a chain of 26 small islands. The Maldives have a sunny, tropical climate, which makes it a popular getaway for vacationers from around the world.” The inside of your brochure is where you'll actually present the facts you've collected about your subject. Devote each panel to a single subject to prevent information on one subtopic from spilling over into the next page. Writing in short sentences or even bullet points can also make it easier for your reader to follow along.  Think about whether you want a basic single-fold brochure or a traditional tri-fold brochure. Single-fold styles tend to work best for shorter, more straightforward topics, whereas tri-fold brochures make it easier to organize lots of information in a manageable way. For a brochure about dietary nutrients, you might use a portion of each of the three interior panels to explain the role of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. In some cases, the amount of information you have to discuss will determine how many pages your brochure will end up being. In others, your teacher may specify a certain number of pages. Make sure you follow instructions carefully. End your brochure by offering your reader a quick recap of the most important points you covered in the preceding panels. Use simple, direct language to clear up any confusion they may have about what they've just read.  A good rule of thumb is to include at least one key detail from each of your interior panels in your summary on the final panel. You can either leave the center outside panel blank or use it to list any external sources you used to do your research, such as books or websites.
A:
Research your topic thoroughly and decide what information to include. Make the first panel of your brochure the title page. Provide a brief outline of your topic on the first interior panel. Use each remaining interior panel to discuss a separate subtopic. Give a short summary of your topic on the back page of your brochure.
