Q: The number should have nine digits, separated by hyphens in the following format: xxx-xx-xxxx. The three groupings represent an area number, group number, and serial number, respectively. Before 2011, the first three numbers were tied to the card holder's geographic location, reflecting the zip code in the mailing address of the application. Since 2011, however, the SSA generates social security numbers randomly, in an effort to make the process more secure. The SSA follows a number of rules when assigning social security numbers, and therefore the number itself should be scrutinized to make sure it passes at least basic scrutiny.  The first three numbers cannot be 000, 666, or 900–999.  If the social security number was issued prior to June 25, 2011, check this list to match the first three numbers (the area number) with the individual's corresponding state of issuance to make sure they match. Also note which area numbers in this list were not used prior to June 25, 2011. Neither the area, group, or serial number should consist of all zeroes  The number itself should be printed on the card in a uniform manner, with all numbers the same height and width, identical spacing between the numbers, and no smudging or running of the ink used to print the numbers. If you are an employer seeking to validate the social security number of a new hire, your best option is to use this service, provided by the SSA for free for this type of check. This is a foolproof way to ensure your new hires have valid social security numbers, and is easy to register for and then use. Simply follow the instructions printed on the SSA's website to register for the service, receive an activation code, and then login and use the service.
A: Check the format of the social security number. Check the number itself. Use the Social Security Number Verification Service.

Q: This is a the first line of your sketch, and it represents your model’s center of gravity. Draw it from the top of the head to the tip of the toes, along the backbone of your croquis. Now draw an oval to represent the head. This is the base of your croquis, and from this, a proportional drawing can be made. You can think of the croquis as the skeleton of the model.  The balance line should be a straight vertical line, even if you want the model to pose in a leaning position.  For example, if you want the the model to be posed with her hips tilted slightly to her left, draw a straight balance line in the middle of the page. You want this line to extend from the top of the model's head to the ground that she is standing on. Note that when you’re designing clothes, a proportional model isn't required, because the clothing is what is being showcased, not your figure drawing skills. Don’t worry too much about creating an accurate looking model or adding features to the face.
A: Draw the balance line.

Q: Select a bright, hot pink for the base coat and then pick up a bottle of white and black polish.  You will be creating a small bow at the top of each skull so for that extra glamour, add a small nail faux diamond. For this manicure, two coats is a must for the bright pink color to be prominently displayed. You could paint these adorable skulls on each nail, however if you really want to make them pop and be noticed, select just two on each finger.  The rest of the nails can hold a small heart at the tip. While the paint is still wet, extend the circle by painting a small rectangle underneath it.  The rectangle will be the skull’s mouth. Create two small dots for the skulls eyes in the middle of the large, white circle you painted. Use a toothpick or a nail art stripper to create the teeth by painting three straight lines down the middle of the rectangle.  Draw the bow using black nail polish on the side of the skulls head using a toothpick or nail art stripper and add a small faux diamond in the middle of the bow using nail glue. If your hand is steady, paint the heart using the polish brush. Otherwise create a small, slanted oval and then paint another small slanted oval next to it, making sure the ends touch. You may want to add two layers of top coat to encase the small diamonds and the complex design.
A: Choose your nail polishes. Paint the pink base coat and allow it to dry. Designate which nails will hold a skull. Create the skull by painting a round circle in the middle of the nail using white nail polish. Paint the skull's eyes, mouth and bow once the skull paint has fully dried. Paint a small white (or black) heart on the other nails. Add the top coat when your skulls, bows and hearts are fully dried.

Q: A kitten of any age can benefit from exposure to new people; however, kittens between two and seven weeks old have been shown to benefit immensely from socialization. If you have purchased the kitten from a breeder or pet store, you may not have the kitten until he is six or seven weeks old, so it is important to bring him around people right away. When you bring home a new kitten, give him a little time to become comfortable. (This length will vary from kitten to kitten, but a couple of days is a good rule of thumb). Once he seems comfortable around you and in your home (he is exploring on his own, snuggles with you, and is eating), begin to invite guests over. Kittens will grow accustomed to people if they are exposed to many different types of people when they are young. Invite over friends of different sizes, shapes, and ages. Invite people of various races and genders. Additionally, it is good for him to encounter people who look “unique” for one reason or another (such as people who use wheelchairs, people with beards, or people who wear hats and/or glasses).  Make sure that the people around your cat are kind and gentle. Avoid very loud noises. Be careful with young children, who may not understand how to handle a kitten. Anytime your kitten actively approaches a new person and interacts with them, reward the kitten with affection and praise. It is important to teach your kitten that this is a desired behavior. You may even want to offer him a treat.
A:
Know your kitten’s age. Provide a safe environment. Expose your kitten to diverse people. Reward him with praise.
