You must be a LEED GA to certify as an Associated Professional. LEED AP's have specific, detailed knowledge of one area of LEED certification, from building to interior design to home construction, allowing them to work on complicated projects and systems. There are five specific LEED AP certifications, each with their own test, eligibility, and requirements: BD+C: Building Design and Construction. Plans and builds green structures in any sector-- commercial, home, healthcare, educational, etc. O+M: Operations and Management. LEED O+Ms update existing structures to be more sustainable, resourceful, and efficient. ID+C: Interior Design and Construction. Design and build indoor home and commercial spaces to make them more healthy, efficient and productive. ND: Neighborhood Development. Designs, plans, and develops large living spaces as walkable, comfortable neighborhoods. Homes: Specializes in designing healthy, durable homes with minimal waste and efficient energy consumption. The test is administered at specific testing sites throughout the country. To register for the test, you must apply online here. You will be asked to locate an exam center near your and schedule an appointment to take the test. To save money and time, you can take both the GA test and your specific AP test together. Each test has different questions and requirements to pass. Be sure to buy the correct study materials for you test a few months in advance and take a class if you need. Exam prep guides for each test can be found on the LEED website here. Make sure that you bring a valid, non-expired photo ID or you will not be allowed to take the test. You will be seated at a personal computer and given 100 questions to answer within a two hour window. You must answer all of them, though you can "flag" questions to return to later if you wish. When you are done, you will be given your score instantly. Like the GA test, you must score 170 points or higher to pass. You will be given a 10 minute break midway through the test. AP's must prove they have earned 30 continuing education (CE) hours (six must be LEED-specific) every 2 years to maintain their credential. This can include building projects, classes, or internships. If you do not document your CE hours, you will have to retake the test after two years.

If you don't know about your international plan, call your phone service carrier and ask about it. You may be able to call Nigeria for free, or they will be able to tell you what the rate per minute would be. Either way, it is better to make the call knowing how much you will be charged by the minute. It's a good idea to inquire about rates whether you are calling from a cell phone or land line. Begin by dialing in your country's exit code. For the United States and Canada, the exit code is 011. You can do a quick search online to see what the exit code for your country is. After dialing the exit code, punch in the country code for Nigeria. Nigeria's country code is 234. If you're using a landline, don't wait too long between dialing each code or you may have to start over again. If you're calling a landline, it will be 7 to 8 numbers long, including the area code. For example, a landline number would look like: 011 234 1 XXX XXXX. A cell phone number will 10 digits long: 011 234 XX XXXX XXXX.

Pour the water into an empty, clean aquarium or fish tank. Measure out the right amount based on the number of Triops you currently have or expect to have after hatching. Use natural spring water, which has calcium to help the animals grow. You can also use tap water, as long as it's been treated to remove all chlorine, which is toxic to Triops. Do not use mineral or distilled water. The mineral level in mineral water is too high, whereas distilled water doesn't have enough calcium for the Triops. Because Triops need warm water to hatch and thrive, set a lamp over the top of the tank to maintain a mild water temperature. Position either a fluorescent or incandescent light about 12 inches (30cm) above the water. Put an aquarium thermometer in the tank to monitor the water temperature. If the tank is sitting somewhere in the sun or in a warm room, you may not need the light to heat the water. Line the tank with soil, gravel, or sand so the Triops can dig around. Fill the bottom with about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1cm) of your chosen substrate to protect any larvae and prevent the Triops from mistaking the eggs for a snack. You can buy the substrate at a pet store or from an online retailer. Wash the substrate with plain tap water before putting it in the tank to remove any potential chemicals or dirt. While Triops don't require any plants or extra items, like large stones or fake castles, in their tank, you can put some in if you'd like it to look more appealing. Only use plants or decorations that are safe for aquarium use, however, so you don't accidentally poison the Triops. Never put things you find in nature, like a rock or a log, in the tank as they can contain harmful bacteria. To keep the water fresh, replace about 1/4 of it on a weekly basis. Scoop it out with a cup or bucket, then pour clean, natural spring water in. Be careful not to scoop up the Triops with it! Do not use soap when cleaning your tank. It's poisonous to Triops.

One-sentence summary --
Fill a tank with .5 to 1 gallon (1.9 to 3.8L) of natural spring water per Triops. Place a heat lamp above the tank to keep the water between 72 and 84F (22 and 29C). Add substrate to the tank if you'd like to recreate their natural habitat. Choose plants carefully if you want to add decoration. Change out about 25% of the water in the tank once a week.
