Problem: Article: Before getting involved in a cause, it's important to be informed about the issues involved. Check out books related to your cause from your school or public library. Charities or other activist organizations devoted to your cause may be able to recommend some books to you. Check out their websites for reading lists. Ask teachers or professors you know who may be familiar with your cause to recommend some books. Do a search to find the websites of activist or charitable organizations that support your cause. Read their summaries of the issues, read up on what they are doing to help, and look at any information they have about how you can get involved. Use the internet to read up on the topic in general, but always be aware of the sources for the information and any biases that might be apparent. Watch the news or browse newspapers, magazines, or online news publications for information about new developments related to your cause. If you are a member of a charitable or activist organization for your cause, then they may offer a regular newsletter or roundup of recent stories related to the cause. If you are in high school or college, you may be able to sign up for classes that will help you understand your cause better. For example, if you are concerned about environmental issues, an environmental science class would be a good place to start. Taking a class can not only help you become more informed about your cause, but it can also help you connect to others who are interested in the same issues. Talk to your teacher or professor outside of class to get more ideas about how to get involved or educate yourself further. If you're not in school, or if your school doesn't offer courses that are helpful to you, you might be able to find a free or affordable online course related to your cause. For example, Smith College offers a free online course on Women's Activism through the edX website. If you are interested in a cause that affects other people, then one of the best ways to understand how to help them is to listen to what they have to say. If you can't reach out to them in person, then try connecting to affected people and communities via social media, or read their stories in books or online. For example, if you are interested in helping with issues related to LGBT+ rights, speak to members of your local LGBT+ community about what kinds of issues matter the most to them, and what you can do to help. If your campus has a Gay-Straight Alliance club, that might be a good place to start. If you know other activists in your community who are involved in the cause you are interested in, talking to them is a great way to find out what work is already being done in your area and what you can do to help out. Try connecting with other activists in your area via social media, or attend meetings for organizations in your area. If you are in school, talk to other students or teachers who are interested in your cause. Find out if there are any student organizations on campus related to your cause.
Summary: Read up on your cause. Look at websites related to your cause. Keep an eye on the news. Take classes on issues related to your cause. Listen to the people most affected. Talk to other activists.

Problem: Article: If all the computers in the network run on Windows 2000 or newer, then set up the printer server for "Windows 2000 and Windows XP clients only." If any of the computers uses Windows ME or older, then set up the printer server with the "All Windows Clients" option so it works for all computers. Repeat this step if you're setting up more than one printer that other computers will utilize from your print server. This may not be necessary if you use a setup wizard that chooses the appropriate driver for you.
Summary: Determine what operating system each computer sharing the printer is running. Print a test page on the printer you're using to get the manufacturer and model numbers and additional information such as languages used and installed options so you can choose the appropriate printer driver during configuration.

Problem: Article: Even if he's far away, you can find ways to enjoy your shared interests. For example, maybe you can watch a favorite television show or movie at the same time, while talking on the phone or texting. Schedule date nights where you plan to "share" a meal and movie, and enjoy longer conversations. You can continue to feel connected as a couple, even though you may be far apart. Scheduling date nights will help him know that this relationship is a priority in your life. Sending him special things that he might miss from home will let him know you're thinking of him. Texting nice notes without expecting a response might cheer him up. Sending photos of yourself with your mutual friends can remind him of your connection. Be creative! Don't overwhelm him with these treats. For example, if he's gone for 3 months, sending no more than 1 per month might be a good number. Getting something tangible through the mail will remind him that your relationship is real, even though you're apart. If he's spending a semester abroad, make a plan to visit him if you can. If you're apart for the summer, maybe you can make a special plan for July 4th. If you'll see him at the end of his internship, plan a special day together to welcome him home. Knowing when you'll see each other again can help you both feel more secure in the long-distance relationship. Focusing on the time you'll spend together, rather than the time you're spending apart, will help you be more positive. Even if you can't physically be in the same room, you can continue to celebrate the special events of your life together. Perhaps you're celebrating the anniversary of your first kiss, or your first date. Choosing to include your boyfriend in your birthday plans even though he's miles away will help him feel closer to you. Keep a calendar with your special dates marked. Consider sharing an online calendar with each other.
Summary:
Do things together. Send him treats. Know when you'll be together again. Celebrate the special days together.
