Q: When you come across a news story, run a search on the topic to verify its authenticity. See if other news organizations are reporting on it, or if there's just one random source making unsubstantiated claims. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), The New York Times, The Washington Journal, National Public Radio (NPR), and The Atlantic are just a few of the most respected news organizations. In addition to reputable news sources, there are a number of websites that debunk fake news stories. If you come across a suspicious story, see if it's been vetted by sites such as: FactCheck.org (http://www.factcheck.org/) Politifact (http://www.politifact.com/) The International Fact-Checking Network (https://www.poynter.org/channels/fact-checking) When in doubt, get in touch with someone who could help you better understand the topic or recommend reliable sources. It could be a teacher or professor, librarian, or someone who works in the industry discussed in the suspicious article. For instance, ask your history or social studies teacher about a suspicious article you read about foreign affairs. If you read an article about a new diet fad, talk to your biology teacher or a medical professional in your social network.
A: Search for articles on the topic published by other news organizations. Consult fact checkers. Ask someone you know who has expertise on the topic.

Q: Goat meat is not commonly available in Western supermarkets. You'll need to look for it through specialist butchers, online sellers from farms or gourmet food sellers, and in some Middle Eastern, Indian or Caribbean specialty grocery stores. Sometimes the words "chevon" (older goat meat), "cabrito" (younger goat meat) or "capretto" are used to denote that the meat is goat's. You can also ask your local butcher to source some goat meat if you'd like to try it. Like beef or pork, there are a variety of cuts of goat meat to choose from. Each one has a different texture and flavor, and each requires a different cooking method. Here are the most popular cuts, and the best cooking methods for them: Cheeks: Stew. Chops: Marinate and roast. Cubed or minced meat: Stew on or off the bone. Goat leg: Marinate and roast. Leg steaks: Marinate and roast. Shoulder: Marinate and roast. Goat is quite lean, and if cooked at the high temperatures, it will toughen and be intolerable for eating. Goat meat is best when it has been slow-cooked to break down the tendons in the meat. Marinating goat meat is another good way to tenderize the meat. In addition, Goat meat loses moisture very quickly due to its low fat content. The best way to cook goat meat is to cook it slowly, preferably in a slow cooker, at a low temperature, and with plenty of moisture. Moreover, goat meat should never be served rare; it must be thoroughly and well cooked in order for it to be appealing. Flavorful additions tend to make goat meat delicious. Goat meat is ideal for eating with Middle Eastern, Mexican and Indian dishes that use a slow cooking method. The meat gets infused with spices as it becomes tender.
A: Go to a butcher that sells specialty meat. Select a cut of fresh meat. Learn how to bring out the best flavor in goat meat.

Q: This means you should be nearly complete with the application and be able to provide the supplementary materials to the letter writer for reference. This may include: Copy of your transcript Writing sample or portfolio of work Statement of purpose or cover letter Curriculum Vitae or resume Name of the institution Degree or fellowship program applying for Name of the contact at the institution receiving the letter Address and dates for sending the letter Any necessary letter forms, prompts, or the URL to complete and upload the letter Tell the most desirable candidates on your list that you hope to use them as a reference, in person if possible. Inform them of the general guidelines, due dates, and provide them with the necessary resources at this time. Ask directly whether or not they're willing to write you a positive letter of recommendation. If not, or they're unsure of whether or not they'll have time to complete it, move to other candidates on your list. Professors and academic advisors are generally happy to provide recommendations and consider doing so part of their professional responsibilities. However, because of the sheer volume of requests they receive, you should be sure to request the letter of recommendation well in advance of any admissions application or other deadlines. A good rule of thumb is making first contact a semester ahead of time to gauge their willingness to write a letter, and then making sure they have all materials at least a month or two before the deadline. Thank your references for providing letters with a note or phone call. Also, it's a good idea to keep them updated on your progress. They have a stake in your success, so let them know if you've been offered a spot at the university or program. This will also keep the door open if you need more letters somewhere down the road.
A:
Collect all the information about both the institution and the application to provide to your letter writers. Make contact. Gauge their willingness. Be timely. Follow up and keep in touch.
