Problem: Article: Put on the yukata as you would a robe. It's a good idea to flip the long sleeves back over your arms. That way, they won't be in your way when you wrap the garment around your body. Hold both sides of the fabric together in front of your body with one hand. With the other hand, feel for the center seam on the back. Adjust the yukata so the seam is centered with your back and the sides are even. Grasp the sides from the top corners and hold them straight in front of you. Then pull the yukata up until the bottom hem meets your ankles. Hold the hem at that height while you wrap the yukata around your body. While holding the fabric in each hand, spread out your arms as if you were about to give a hug. Then pull the right side of the garment to your left hip bone, and hold it in place with your right hand. Pull the left side tightly so it holds the right side in place. Then slide out your right hand as you bring the left side to your right hip bone. Be sure to fold the right side down first, then wrap the left side over it. A yukata (or any other kimono) is only wrapped right side over left when dressing a deceased person for burial.
Summary: Slide your arms through the sleeves. Find the back seam to center the garment. Adjust the length to ankle level. Bring the right side to your left hip. Cross the left side to your right hip.

Problem: Article: There are two forms of vitamin D. Vitamin D2, also known as Ergocalciferol, is a plant-derived form that is added to milk, juice, and cereals. Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is generally considered a better form because it is the form your body produces when it is exposed to sunlight. It is also found in animal products. Vitamin D2 is safe for vegans and vegetarians since it is plant derived. Vitamin D3 is not, however, because these supplements are derived from the fat from lamb's wool. The general recommended daily amount for vitamin D vary depending on your age, though men and women need the same amount at the same age. The daily recommended dose for each age group is: Infants from birth to 12 months need 400 IU (10 mcg) Those who are one to 70 years old need 600 IU (15 mcg) Individuals over 70 years old need 800 IU (20 mcg) Women who are breastfeeding or pregnant need 600 IU (15 mcg) Remember that those that are deficient in Vitamin D3 are more likely to need higher doses to build levels up. Once they are consistently having good D3 blood readings, they may be able to switch to a lower maintenance dose. Although your body needs a certain amount of vitamin D each day, you should take more than that as a supplement. This is because your body will not absorb all of the vitamin D from the supplement each time you take it, so you should have a dose larger than the amount you need each day. Most doctors currently recommend 1000 IU of vitamin D3 per day to ensure that enough vitamin D is absorbed. The Linus Pauling Institute, one of the leading research centers in vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, recommends 2000 IU of Vitamin D3 a day. If you have certain conditions that might benefit from vitamin D3, your doctor may suggest a higher dosage. Always follow your doctor's instructions when it comes to increased or decreased dosage. You can buy pure vitamin D3 supplements as well as multivitamins with vitamin D3 in them. However, these multivitamins generally have low levels, so you may be better off taking it as a separate supplement. Most supplement capsules are 1000 IU each, but some can be as low as 400 IU. Pay attention to the kind you get. Take one to three daily, depending on the dosage per capsule. It is recommended that you take your vitamin D3 with a meal. Once you have been taking vitamin D for awhile, you should have your serum levels tested. This will ensure that you have the right levels vitamin D in your system. Ask your doctor to perform this test as your yearly checkup or during your next visit. Your levels should be at least 50 nmol/L. Your levels may still be low after taking supplements for awhile. Your doctor may increase your supplement dose to help increase your levels. He or she may also check for issues that might be blocking your absorption of vitamin D3. This testing should occur at least once a year.
Summary: Recognize the different types. Get the right amount. Learn the correct dosage. Take the supplement. Get your levels tested.

Problem: Article: Take industrial arts courses in high school such as machining, drafting and woodworking. These types of classes will form the basic skill set you need. If you've been out of high school for several years, take classes at a local community college to brush up on your skills. Most of these programs take between six months and two years. A list of accredited schools can be found on the on the NRA website. Gunsmithing programs teach mechanical and tooling skills, the different functions and designs of various firearms, diagnosing and repairing guns, safety procedures, and in some cases chemistry and ballistics. Consider enrolling in an online gunsmithing program, a popular alternative in recent years. Gunsmithing programs always conduct background checks on their prospective students; those who don't pass are not admitted into the program. As an alternative or in addition to receiving a certification or diploma in gunsmithing, seek out a local gunsmith or apply through The Association of Gunsmiths and Related Trades (TAOGART) for apprenticeship status. In order to apply through TAOGART you must be 16 or older. All applicants must be able to legally own and possess a firearm in compliance to federal and state laws. If you are still in high school you must graduate and maintain at least a "C" average. You must have permission from your legal guardians and school officials (such as a principal or counselor). A gunsmithing apprenticeship consists of on-site training and classroom instruction that totals about 8,000 hours. This time can vary depending on the type of firearm apprenticeship you undertake. This license differs from other firearms licenses in that it allows you to maintain possession of another person's firearm for more than a day, as you would do if you were repairing it. In order to receive an FFL you must be over 21 years of age meet a number of strict gun safety requirements. A field agent will be dispatched to inspect your gunsmithing facilities and conduct an interview with you before the license is granted. Apply for an FFL through the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Check your local area for other licensing requirements.
Summary:
Start early. Apply to a gunsmithing program at a college or trade school. Find an apprenticeship. Obtain a Federal Firearms License (FFL).
