Q: If you were unable to make it to a casting call, you can apply online by sending photos in for consideration. Playboy requires that you send in one headshot and four to six full-length nude photos. These photos don’t have to be taken by a professional, but they should be in-focus (no blurry shots ladies!). Half of the shots should be of your frontside, and half of your backside. Make copies of your photos because your photos will not be returned after the application process, whether you get hired or not. The Playboy application requires you to send in a scanned copy of your photo ID proving that you are 18 years of age or old. This is really important because your application won’t be accepted without proof of your age (no matter how sexy or well-shot your photos are). You will need all of the normal information (including full name, address, date of birth, and whether or not you are a United States citizen). You will also need physical information. This info includes your present height, weight, bust size, waist size, hip size, hair color, eye color, and ethnic background.  If you are enrolled in college, you will also need to write down your major and school activities, as well as your college’s name and location. You also have the option to post links to any online presence you might have, including your website, Facebook page, or Twitter ID. When you apply for a model position as a Playmate at Playboy, your application automatically gets sent to other modeling sectors of Playboy. Even if you don’t get hired as a Playmate, your application will get reviewed by other sections of the Playboy business, so you still have the potential to be hired as a model. These other modeling opportunities include Cyber Girls, Playboy Special Editions, Playboy Golf, and others. The application can be found here. As stated above, you will need to fill out all of the information, upload your ID proving you are 18 or older, and upload your photos. You will also be required to write your digital signature and check the ‘I agree’ box stating that you acknowledge the rules and swear everything you wrote down on the application is true. You should hear back from Playboy within four to six weeks. If you have not heard from them around six weeks, it means there isn’t a Playmate opening at this time. However, if you do get selected, you will be flown (all expenses paid) to meet with a Playboy photographer for a photo shoot.
A: Take photos for submission. Make a copy of your ID. Have all of your information ready before you apply. Know that there are other modeling opportunities aside from Playmate. Fill out the online application. Know what will happen if you are chosen.

Article: Use a drill press to drill two holes in the metal that will slip between your handle pieces.  The holes should be along the horizontal center of the blade. Keep at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space in between them. Each hole should be 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) in diameter. Lay your pattern sketch on top of your wood and trace the outline of your handle onto the wood with pencil. Do this two times to make two separate pieces. Use a saw to cut out both pieces. When you cut them out, the two pieces should be a little longer and a little wider than your desired handle.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Drill holes in the handle portion of the metal. Cut out two handle pieces.

Problem: Article: To make this pie, you will need one ready-made nine-inch pie crust in a pie plate, your ingredients, as well as:  Fork Aluminum foil Dried beans (to weigh down the crust) Small and large bowl Whisk Saucepan Spoon Preheat your oven to 350 F (177 C). Place a sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper on top of the crust and weigh it down with pie weights or dried beans. This will ensure the pie shell keeps the right shape and doesn’t get puffy during the baking process.  Bake the crust for 15 minutes, then remove the beans and the foil and cook for another five minutes. The crust is done when it has dried out and is starting to get a little brown. Set the pie crust aside to cool while you make the filling. In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk it all together until there are no lumps. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and heat it over medium heat, whisking frequently. Heat it for about six to eight minutes, until the mixture starts to bubble and take on the consistency of pudding. Remove the mixture from the heat immediately when it starts to thicken. While the mixture is still hot, add the chocolate, vanilla, and butter. Continue whisking until the chocolate is melted and all the ingredients are combined. Depending on how finely chopped the chocolate pieces were, this will only take a couple minutes. Use a spoon to get all the delicious chocolate filling out of the saucepan and into the shell. Spread the filling around so it’s evenly distributed in the pie shell.  If there is any leftover pie filling, dole it out into small bowls or ramekins and place them in the fridge to set as well. Loosely cover the pie filling with a piece of plastic wrap to prevent a film from forming. Place the pie in the fridge and let it chill for at least four hours. This will give the pie time to set. When the pie has had time to chill and set, cut it into pieces, place each piece on a separate plate, and garnish the top with whipped cream. Place leftovers in a container with an air-tight lid and store it in the refrigerator for up to a couple days.
Summary: Gather your ingredients and equipment. Bake your pie crust. Combine the dry and wet ingredients. Heat the mixture. Add the remaining ingredients. Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Garnish with whipped cream before serving.

Q: Talking to someone new can be scary. A simple “hello” or “good morning” will go a long way. Everyone wants to be liked, and initiating a conversation will show people that you’re open and interested in talking to them.  Ask other people what their name is after you say hello to make your conversation more personal. If you tend to forget names quickly, try to use their name naturally in conversation while you talk to them. Saying their name out loud will help you remember it later on. Make eye contact when you introduce yourself. It will make you seem confident and open to conversation. Use positive language to reinforce your conversations with positive energy by trying to find something nice to say. Being sarcastic and poking fun at something is easy, but people will grow tired of it quickly. If you’re talking to someone and they start complaining about something, be supportive by actively listening and sympathizing with them. When others notice that you’re generally nice, they’ll be more likely to want to talk to you.  It may be tempting to try and impress others by being mean, but that will backfire more often than not. Nobody likes a bully!  Be as kind as possible when talking about others that aren’t around. Word will eventually get around that you are untrustworthy if you gossip about people behind their back. Smile. People like it when others smile at them, and there is a good chance they will smile right back. Asking people about themselves is an excellent way to get them interested in hanging out with you. When you ask people questions, you’re inviting them to open up towards you. Try bringing up something simple, like what subjects they’re studying in school or what kind of sports they enjoy playing.  Asking people about what they do for fun is a good place to start. It may turn out that you have something in common. Even if you don’t, you may end up learning something about them!  Avoid asking questions that may touch on a sore subject. If someone seems sad, asking them why they’re being such a bummer might be a bad idea.
A:
Start by saying hello and introducing yourself. Be friendly and supportive when talking to people. Ask personal questions to initiate a conversation.
