Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look over your bank statement. Log into your online banking account. Visit a bank branch and ask for their BIC code. Call a bank's customer service line and ask for their code.

Answer: If you get a paper or digital bank statement each month, it may contain the BIC code somewhere in the fine print. Look for “BIC” or “SWIFT” — which, remember, are interchangeable — followed by a string of 8 or 11 characters. BIC and SWIFT codes are assigned by 2 different organizations that have agreed to a single standard, meaning that BIC codes and SWIFT codes are essentially one and the same. With enough clicking around, you should be able to track down the BIC code for your bank. For instance, if you have an account with PNC Bank, N.A. (U.S.A.):  Log into your account with your username and password. Click on one of your accounts (e.g., “Interest Checking”). Click on “Show Account and Routing Numbers,” and re-enter your password. Click on “For Wire Transfers” and get the code PNCCUS33. The tellers at any bank branch will probably be able to tell you their BIC or SWIFT code from memory. Or, at the very least, they should be able to look it up quickly. It will probably take longer to connect to a customer service representative than it will take for them to give you their BIC code. If you track down contact information for any bank in the world that handles international transactions, you can ask for their BIC code.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Don't use spaces or punctuation in hashtags. Keep your hashtags short. Make sure your hashtags are relevant. Use pre-existing hashtags. Try not to use too many hashtags in one post.

Answer: Since you'll use spaces to differentiate between hashtags, all of the words in your hashtags will be clumped together. The same logic applies to punctuation, so never use any apostrophes, dashes, or underscores. For example, the hashtagged version of the phrase "I like trains" would read #iliketrains. The longer your hashtag is, the less likely it is to be discovered. Posting a picture of an old phone with the hashtag "#iphone8" or something similarly misleading may be humorous, but it can also get your account suspended for spam. Most social media accounts have a list of currently trending hashtags displayed somewhere on the home page (Twitter, for example, displays trending hashtags on the left side of the home page on the desktop site), though you can also use hashtags from product ads or follow your friends' examples. Depending on the social media account, the metric for "too much" will vary (Instagram hovers at around 30 per post, while Twitter should only contain a few). If your post is 90 percent hashtag, there's very little room left for substantive commentary--which, after all, is the point of hashtagging.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Finish Earn a post-secondary art degree for better job opportunities. Take drawing classes to improve your artistic skill. Practice drawing on your own.

Answer: your high school diploma. Most tattoo licenses require that the applicant graduates from high school and is at least 18 years old. Take a variety of art classes while you're in high school, from two-dimensional drawing to graphic design, to improve your versatility as an artist and prepare for your tattooing career. If you can no longer attend high school and never graduated, get your GED instead. Although not required, some tattoo artists complete a degree in fine arts from an art school or university. Art degrees can improve your drawing skills and help you become a well-rounded artist, which may help you find more clients and better-paying jobs.  You can also take art classes from a community college as an alternative if you're not interested in getting a degree. Pair it with a business minor to prepare for working in a tattoo shop and gaining clients. Tattoo artists need to be skilled in drawing, particularly line art. Search for art classes offered by community centers, colleges, or people in your area and take a course from a teacher whose art style you admire.  You can also contact local tattoo artists to see if any of them offer art classes. If you're not as skilled in art when you begin, don't give up hope! Like all skills, art takes years of hard work and practice to perfect. Keep a sketchbook specifically for improving your art skills and draw in it during your free time. Draw anything from simple patterns to popular characters or celebrities to portraits, as the tattoos you draw as a professional may be varied in design.  Get several drawing books to help you learn new techniques and styles.  Draw potential tattoo designs in your sketchbook to develop your own personal style. Search for famous tattoo artists online and look to your favorites as inspiration. Popular tattoo artists include Mirko Sata, Chris Nunez, Miya Bailey, Gerhard Wiesbeck, Frank Carrilho, Rit Kit, and Stanisław Wilczynski.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide if you want a roommate. Consider living with a sibling or relative. Interview potential roommates in person. Deal with conflict in a healthy way.

Answer:
You aren’t completely hopeless if you can’t afford to live on your own. Now more than ever, people are living with roommates to afford rent. Consider this option carefully, however; trying to find a roommate will split the cost of rent and utilities in half, but it can add a lot of stress as well. Consider a few key issues before searching for a roommate:  Would you be comfortable sharing a room or an apartment? Are you expecting your roommate to be your best friend? Do you feel comfortable having someone around your personal belongings? How clean are you? Are you loud? How clean and loud would you want your roommate to be? Sharing a room with a brother, sister, or cousin is great training for life with a roommate. If you are close with one of your siblings, you may want to move out together. Make sure you trust one another to pay the bills on time. There are many ways to find roommates, whether it is through mutual friends or social media sites, but once you found someone who wants to live in the same area as you and is financially stable, talk to them in person. Some questions you should ask are:  How clean are you?  When do you go to bed, and how often do you have company? Do you have any pets, and will a significant other be living with you? Can you pay all bills on time? See if these questions influence your decision to live with the potential roommate. Your lifestyles should be mostly similar. Conflict is bound to happen when living with others. What matters is how you deal with it. Pretending to not be bothered by your roommate’s behavior will lead to frustration, but constant bickering is stressful. If you need to confront your roommate, choose your words carefully so your roommate does not feel attacked.  “I feel frustrated when you don’t wash the dishes because the room smells” is better than “You’re a slob.” Focus on the behavior, not the person. Confront problems as they arise, not when you are frustrated and overwhelmed. If your roommate confronts you, remember that they are trying to improve your relationship. Listen and reflect on what your roommate tells you.
