Summarize the following:
The Order of the Eastern Star is an order that's closely associated with the Freemasons. Thus, many of the membership requirements for the OES are identical to those for joining a Masonic chapter. For instance, as with Freemasonry, OES members must be adults — that is, 18 years or older — to join. Note that some Masonic chapters can have minimum ages of entry of up to 25 — these local rules don't affect the minimum age of entry to the OES, which is always 18. While Masonic organizations are not religions or cults in themselves, they do have spiritual components. For this reason, the OES, like other Masonic organizations, requires its members to believe in a supreme being. This belief does not necessarily have to be well-defined; however, people who explicitly have no religious or spiritual beliefs are not permitted. Note that, like all Masonic organizations, the OES is open to peoples of all faiths. All that's necessary is belief in a supreme being — the form and name(s) of that being are left up to the individual member. Men who join the OES must already be fully-recognized Master Masons (not Apprentice or Fellowcraft). The process of becoming a Mason requires learning and demonstrating Masonic values, memorizing Masonic catechisms, and much more. For a detailed guide on joining the Freemasons, see our guide on the subject. Note that, to become a Mason, you must:  Be a man Be over 18-25 years old, depending on your chapter, (21 is a common minimum age) Have a good reputation Believe in a supreme being (see above) Be able to support yourself and your family (if you have one) Live a moral, ethical life Have a profound desire to better yourself, your community, and the world Generally, women are not allowed to be Freemasons. However, they are still allowed to join the OES if they have a qualifying relationship to a man who is an affiliated Master Mason. These relationships include most, if not all, family bonds (either by blood or by marriage). A woman with any of the following relationships to a Master Mason may join the OES:  Wives, daughters (including legally adopted daughters), mothers, widows, sisters, half sisters, granddaughters, stepmothers, stepdaughters, stepsisters, daughters-in-law, grandmothers, great granddaughters, nieces, great nieces, mothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunts, and first and second cousins. Note also that female applicants to the OES are held to the same moral and ethical standards as male ones. Women who don't have one of the relationships to a Freemason listed above but are, or were, active members of the International Order of the Rainbow of Girls (IORG) or Job’s Daughters International (JDI) may still join the OES. Both of these organizations are Freemason-affiliated youth organizations that allow girls as young as 10 (for JDI) and 11 (for IORG) to join. Note also that membership in the Organization of Triangles or the Constellation of Junior Stars, two organizations unique to New York State, can also qualify women to join.

summary: Be 18 years or older. Believe in a supreme being. If male, be a Master Mason. If female, be a Mason's relative. Alternatively, be an active member (or majority member who left in good standing) of IORG or JDI.


Summarize the following:
Let's say you're working with the equation, 4y +3x = 16; write it down. Just move the x{\displaystyle x} term over to the other side so that the y term is by itself. Remember that whenever you move a term (by adding or subtracting) to the other side of an equation, you have to flip its sign from negative to positive and vice versa. So, "3x" moved to the other side of the equation would become "-3x." The equation should now look like 4y = -3x +16 by doing this:  4y + 3x = 16 = 4y + 3x - 3x = -3x +16 (by subtraction)  4y = -3x +16 (by rewriting, simplifying the subtraction) The y coefficient is the number in front of the y term. If there is no coefficient in front of the y term, then you're done. If there is a coefficient, however, then you should divide each term in the equation by that number. In this case, the y coefficient is 4, so you have to divide 4x, -3x, and 16 by 4 to get the final answer in slope intercept form. Here's how you do it:  4y = -3x +16 =  4/4y = -3/4x +16/4 = (by division)  y = -3/4x + 4 (by rewriting, simplifying the division) If you're using the equation to plot a line, then you should know that "y" represents the y-coordinate, "-3/4" represents the slope, "x" represents the x coordinate, and "4" represents the y-intercept.

summary: Write down the equation. Isolate the y-term on one side of the equation. Divide all of the terms by the y coefficient. Identify the terms in the equation.

If you want to start your own company, it is good to plan ahead and focus on learning as much relevant information as you can. Economics courses will teach you important concepts like supply and demand and market fluctuations. Finance courses will teach you the importance of handling money wisely.  You can also opt for courses like accounting, operations managements, and human resources if they are offered at your school. Opt for extracurricular activities that will give you experience with the ins and outs of organizing events. Join a planning committee for school trips, dances, or other gatherings. Run for student council or join a peer leadership group to get used to being in charge and making key decisions.  You can also join the yearbook committee to learn about organization, planning, and meeting deadlines. Join a chapter of a charity group where you can help plan fundraising events. While it is not necessary to be certified in event planning to open such a business, it may boost your knowledge about the industry. It can also bolster your business profile. Look for educational institutions in your area that offer a certification program to become a Certified Special Events Professional (CSEP). Contact them to inquire about their entry requirements and fee structure before applying. Contact the educational institution to inquire about their entry requirements and fee structure before applying. The best way to get acquainted with the inner details of event planning it to be a part of it. Look online for job opportunities at event planning companies, either as an assistant, server, decorator, or other supporting role. Submit your CV along with a cover letter detailing your interest in event planning and highlighting the skills you have that make you well-suited to work in the industry.
summary: Focus on business-related courses in high school. Choose extracurricular activities that will prepare you for event planning. Get a degree in event planning to boost your credibility. Work for an event planning company to gain experience.
