Washi is a term that simply means “Japanese paper” and is usually used to describe the basic type of folding paper used to make origami shapes in Japan and overseas. Washi is made to fold easily and maintain its shape, and since it’s a no-frills type of paper, it will probably work best for standard usages and beginners learning the ropes of origami. Washi comes in a square, standardized size and can be purchased in most craft stores around the world. Washi is the most common type of origami paper and will be the go-to choice for most projects. Named because of its coloration, duo paper is a basic paper type that features a different color on each side of the sheet. Choose duo paper when you’re folding shapes that benefit stylistically from a certain color scheme (such as red and green for a rose), or if your purpose is to make the design more intricate by incorporating different layers of color. Care must be taken to fold duo paper correctly, as misalignments will be made more visible by the contrast in color. Chiyogami is another conventional Japanese origami paper. In most cases, it is basic washi, only bearing classical Japanese artwork, prints, and patterns. Chiyogami paper is more elaborate in appearance than other varieties, and is an available option should you wish to learn traditional Japanese shapes and folding styles. There are many traditional origami papers bearing classic Japanese aesthetics. In addition to basic chiyogami, there is yuzen, a particular variation of chiyogami that features prints inspired by popular fabrics from ancient Japan; momigami, fashioned from mulberry bark and known for its leathery texture; and shinwazome, a thick, brilliantly adorned paper with embossed patterns that is often used for more extravagant projects. Lend a little shine to your art by picking up some foil paper, which has a standard folding paper on one side and a thin layer of metallic foil on the other. Foil origami paper is sure to catch the eye as your designs sparkle with a gold, silver, or ruby glint. The foil will also help preserve your folds, as the pliable metallic layer holds a crease that won’t spring back out of place.  Another additional benefit of working with foil paper is that it allows the handler to fashion smooth curves in their designs that easily maintain their shape. It will be hard to hide mistakes made with foil paper, as the paper will remain crinkled even after it is smoothed out.

One-sentence summary -- Buy a standard pack of washi. Use duo paper to add color layers. Try chiyogami paper for traditional designs. Add luster with foil paper.

Q: If you want a long acting reversible contraception, or LARC, method of birth control that doesn’t interfere with daily activities and which most women can safely use, have your doctor implant an intrauterine device. This plastic or copper T-shaped device can protect against pregnancy for 3-10 years.  Your doctor must insert and remove an IUD for you to start using this method.  Insertion may cause discomfort and you may experience breakthrough menstrual bleeding.  Be aware that your insurance may not cover and IUD and that it can be expensive. Contraceptive implants stops ovulation and can help prevent pregnancy for up to 3 years. Like other LARCS, your doctor must administer a contraceptive implant by inserting it under the skin of your upper arm.  The procedure to insert the contraceptive implant doesn’t require surgery or any incisions. It will only take only a few minutes for your doctor to insert this small and flexible rod with a special tool.  There is a possibility that your insurance will not cover a contraceptive implant, which can be expensive. You may opt to receive contraceptive injections of the hormone depot medroxyprogesterone acetate, which can help prevent pregnancy for three months.  Your doctor will inject the hormone every 13 weeks for the most effective use. You can get the first injection any time during your cycle.  Like hormonal birth control such as the Pill, you must be consistent in getting injections. If you get your injection more than two weeks late, you will need to use a backup form of birth control.  There is a possibility that your insurance will not cover contraceptive injections, which can be expensive. Injections can also cause weight gain. If you are absolutely certain that you do not want children, consider sterilization. This form of permanent birth control is available to both men and women and requires surgery.  The only sterilization option for men is a vasectomy, which is where the tubes that carry sperm are cut and sealed. If a vasectomy is successful, a man will not be able to father a child.  Women may opt for either tubal ligation or the Essure system, which blocks the fallopian tubes. Tubal ligation, commonly called “getting your tubes tied,” requires surgery.  In general, sterilization is permanent, though in some cases it may fail.  Make sure to take proper time if deciding on sterilization since you will probably not be able to reverse the procedure. Be aware that some care providers will not sterilize women under a certain age. Be aware that insurance may not cover sterilization and it can be very expensive.
A: Have an intrauterine device implanted. Get contraceptive implants. Receive contraceptive injections. Consider sterilization as a permanent form of birth control.

Article: The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics works with a company called D&D Digital to match DPD program graduates with internships. You’ll be able to find available internships through the D&D websites. Search for those internships first so you know what’s expected during the application process for each of them. The competition for Dietetic Internships (DIs) is fierce – only half of the people who apply for one get it. The minimum GPA for most DIs is 3.0, but the higher your GPA, the more competitive you’ll be. Some DI programs require that you take the GRE before applying for the internship. The minimum required GRE score will vary from internship to internship, so make sure you check with the internship you want. The higher the score, the better.  The GRE costs about $240 to take. You can find great study guides for the GRE on the College Board website and at your local bookstore. The number of letters you need will also vary by internship, so make sure you know how many you need. You should ask people who know you well and are familiar with your work ethic and think you do good work. Your dietetics professors are great choices for writing your letters. Each internship program will want you to address different things in your cover letter. Customize each cover letter to the program you’re applying for and make sure you address everything they ask for. Don’t submit the same generic cover letter to each position. Once you’re ready to apply, you’ll need to register with D&D Digital to create an account. Then you choose the internships you want to apply for and upload your materials.  Each internship will have different application deadlines, so make sure you write them down during your initial search and keep track of them. You’ll need to pay an application fee for each internship you want to apply for. These fees vary, but they’re around $100 each. Matches happen in April and November of every year. The exact date will vary, but you can expect a response sometime in those months. You should shoot for the deadlines related to the April match date if you’re graduating in the spring, and the deadlines for the November match date if you’re graduating in the winter. If you don’t match right away, you might hear a few days after the original match date. Any unmatched internships will go to a second round of applicants after the first round has gone out. If you don’t get a match during your original match process, you can reapply. Check the D&D website to see which internships are still accepting applications and then email the director of the program. They can tell you if you should submit your application. If there aren't any internships accepting more applicants, you'll have to wait until the next matching round and redo the entire application process.
