Problem: Article: Taking a long walk around your town can be fun on Christmas Day. A lot of houses will be decorated for the season and there will likely be less crowds or traffic. If you live in an area that snows during the winter season, there may be a beautiful snowfall to observe. See if there is a nearby nature trail. Spending a day in the great outdoors can be a great way to enjoy time alone. Volunteering can be especially helpful if you're feeling a little down about spending the day alone. If you go out and do something for others, it may lift your spirits. See if any local charities or churches are seeking volunteers for Christmas Day and spend the day in service of others. Not all restaurants are closed for Christmas. Restaurants that serve food from cultures that don't traditionally celebrate Christmas may be opened. If you find a restaurant that hasn't closed its doors for the day, treat yourself to a meal alone. Bring a book and kick back and enjoy a peaceful dinner or lunch. If you're insecure about eating alone, you can always order take out. If you are religious, see what local churches are holding services. Attend a local service on Christmas morning or in the afternoon. This can help remind you why the day is meaningful and give you some scripture to reflect on. You will also be able to interact with fellow churchgoers, which can lift your mood if you're feeling down. If you have a car, or if public transportation is still open, take yourself for a day trip to a location you've always wanted to visit. Drive out to a local nature trail and take a hike. Visit a nearby city to take in the Christmas decorations there. A road trip can be exciting, if you're taking one alone. Try making a road trip playlist with your favorite Christmas songs.
Summary: Go for a long walk. Volunteer for the day. Visit restaurants that may be opened. Go to a religious service. Take a road trip.

Check if "Share iPhone Analytics" is checked. If not, press on it to enable the tech to view your analytics reports. Download an app meant to test the health of your battery, such as AccuBattery. Open the app and follow the instructions on the screen to set it up. Then use your phone as you normally would for at least a day. After a day, open the app to view information on the health of your battery. You'll get more accurate information after using the app for weeks or even months. You can also use third-party apps, such as Coconut Battery, to test an iPhone, but you'll need to plug it into a Mac to do it. Cell phone retailers can perform a comprehensive test on your phone battery and check its performance. For iPhone, an Apple Store is your best option, as it will have everything you need to have your battery checked. Visit a store that sells smartphones and batteries to have your Android battery analyzed. These stores can also replace your battery if it's gone bad. They may need to wait for the part to arrive if it isn't in stock.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your country’s government will have a government department or organization that handles NGO registration. The department may be called the Department of Social Development, the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, or the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor. Do a search for the appropriate government body in your country that focuses on NGO registration. Keep in mind when you do your search that NGOs may be called something else in countries outside of North America, such as a voluntary organization or a people’s organization. Some countries will offer an application that you can complete online and provide electronic copies of all the necessary documents. Check with the applicable state or federal government body to find out if you can apply quickly and efficiently online. Some countries will allow you to access an application form online and require you to print it out so you can complete it. You can then send your documents in by mail or scan them and email them in. If you cannot access the application form online, go in person to the office or branch of the applicable government body.  Bring all the necessary documents for the application with you. The representative should be able to guide you through the application process in person and provide all necessary forms you will need to fill out. Most countries will require you to pay a fee to register as an NGO. The fee can range from $100-$500 USD, depending on the country. There may also be additional fees for accessing the registration form and filing the necessary documents for the form. Your applicable state or federal government body should discuss all fees upfront before you register as an NGO. Once you have filed the application and included the necessary documentation, you may need to wait several weeks to hear back about your NGO status. You should be notified by the applicable government body if your application has been approved and your organization has been awarded NGO status. If you have not heard back about the status of your application within 2-3 weeks, follow up with the applicable government body for more information.
Summary: Search online for the registering NGO body through the state or federal government. Apply online, if available, for a quicker option. Go in person to apply if an online application is not available. Pay registration fees, if required. Wait 2-3 weeks for your application to be approved.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This does not stop businesses you have recent dealings with (including debts and collectors) from calling, nor does it stop not-for-profit organizations. However, if you are plagued by telemarketers, this will significantly reduce your calls.  This project is headed by the federal trade commission and located online at www.donotcall.gov . State programs exist as well and you can often join them online too. Most phone companies will now let you block all calls that do not display a caller ID number or come through as "Private." This will specifically remove a large number of telemarketing calls. Some phones have a feature that will allow you to designate a special ring tone for any specific phone number that might call in. Select a different ring tone than your normal ringtone for their number and when you hear it, lift and lower the receiver quickly.  This will keep you from having to speak to them.  (or you can let the machine get it.) Alternatively, buy a phone made for hearing impaired that features a flashing light (and which can be muted) that alerts you to calls. Phone books are a bit out of date, but phone number listings still exist online, and companies capture as many of these as they can. You can tell your phone company that you no longer want your number publicly listed. It should instead be considered a non-published or private number, not even available through directory assistance. Obviously this is a last resort, but it can be highly effective. Most cell phones can be easily set up to block certain callers, and additional apps can be downloaded that will allow you to send all calls from outside your contacts list directly to voice mail. Best of all, the federal government bans all use of automated dialers (the devices used by the vast majority of telemarketing firms) to call cell phones.
Summary:
Register with the national Do Not Call registry. Get Anonymous Call Rejection from your telephone company. Designate a certain ring tone for all of your contacts. Purchase a phone with a mute ringer function. Take your number off of all public listings. Switch to cellular only.
