article: In the past, just about all massage therapists worked for themselves. Now there are a growing number of salaried jobs in massage therapy at massage parlors, spas, hotels, and other establishments, so you have a lot of options. Most jobs are low paying and start at $15 an hour, but you can find some jobs that pay much more than that. While you can usually make more money starting your own business, it can be difficult to get clients at first, and business expenses can pile up. If you want to start your own business, you'll need to lease a space in a central location to pick up plenty of clients. Another option is to contract with a health care provider or group of massage therapists to share a space. You'd still be in charge of your own services and business, but you'd have more security operating out of an established. Your massage school should be able to provide some counseling to help you make your choice. Setting up a massage business is similar to setting up other types of small businesses. In order to legally operate as a business, there are certain requirements you must follow: Pick a business name and get it registered. File incorporation documents with the state. Apply for an Employer Identification Number with the IRS. Get a small business loan to help you start your business. Get insurance. Call an insurance agent and figure out what insurance you'll need to protect you from malpractice and liability in your state. If you're running your own business, you'll be in charge of setting up the space. It's important for it to be extremely clean as well as welcoming and warm, so your clients feel comfortable spending time there. Here's what you'll need to do: Purchase equipment. You'll need a massage table, chair, pillows, sheets, lotions, oils, and any equipment you may need for the specialized type of massage services you're offering. Create a relaxing atmosphere. Have candles, light dimmers, or soft natural lighting in your space. Paint the walls a soothing earth tone, and hang calming art on the walls. You may want to offer a changing room and a place for clients to store their belongings during the session. Make sure the bathroom area is also clean and calming. The field of massage arts is growing, so it's important to find ways to set yourself apart from other massage therapists. What is it about you or your business that makes you unique and appealing? Spread the word about your business in the following ways: Use social media. Create a Facebook page and a Twitter account to announce deals and other news. Take out a local advertisement. Put yourself on the map by advertising in a local weekly newspaper. Have a grand opening event. Offer a tour of the facilities and a discount to people who come to the party. Don't forget to serve refreshments! Provide excellent service. The best way to get more clients is to do a wonderful job with the first few, so people will start recommending you to their friends.

article: For most countries, you will find that you can reach the record keeping office online to get a copy of a marriage certificate. Run a simple Internet search for the name of the country and "marriage certificate" or "marriage certificate copy." For some countries, like the United States and Canada, for example, there may be individual offices for each state or province. You will need to know the state or province where the original certificate was issued in order to get a copy. For states in the U.S., you can usually begin by searching for the individual secretary of state's office. The secretary of state may be able to help you directly, or you may need to get redirected to the town or city clerk. For Great Britain, you can begin at the site www.gov.uk. From there, you will find links to get information from England, Wales, Scotland or Ireland. In the United States, there are some websites that contain general nationwide search information. You might try searching at Vitalchek.com. From that home page, select "Marriage Record," and then you will be directed to a page to choose the state you want. Some non-governmental sites require a fee to conduct the search. Be prepared with your credit card if you choose to use these sites. Once you locate the state, province or national office that controls official records, you will need to read the information about applying for a duplicate marriage certificate. You will need to check for the following requirements: who may request a marriage certificate (in some places, only the two parties on the certificate may request a copy) whether you can request online, by mail, or even over the telephone whether a fee is required whether you need to submit a particular application form or if a simple letter will suffice what form(s) of identification you must provide to make your request any other relevant details. If you have any questions beyond what you can learn from the website, or if you need any further clarification, call the office directly. While you may have to wait on hold (government offices can get busy), you are likely to get someone who can answer your specific questions.

Write an article based on this "Tell him clearly how you feel. Be kind. Maintain your favorite activities. Change the subject if people try to get you to talk about it. Let him know it's OK if he needs space."

In order to preserve a friendship with a guy whose affection you don't return, both of you should know clearly why you are saying no. When you explain to him why your feelings are different, it may be easier for him to accept. If you don't know exactly why you are saying no, you won't be able to tell him, and he might get his feelings hurt even more. Spend some time figuring out why if you don't immediately know why, and then come back and tell him (if you needed some time after he asked you out). Honesty is an important trait for friends to have. If you want to maintain your friendship with this guy, then being honest about how you really feel is important. While you are telling him no, make sure that you are kind and gentle. Don't laugh or be sarcastic--he is being serious, and you should respect him by also being serious. You want to keep your friendship intact, and laughing at him may push him away. Don't bring up that he asked you out in a group setting. This is not only embarrassing and awkward, but he might interpret this as making fun of him. Let him decide whether or not to talk about it in front of others. Try to have some empathy for what he must be feeling. This is an important quality for friends to have. If you were in his position and liked someone who did not like you back, how might you feel? Keep in mind that it can be easy to accidentally lead him on again if you are too kind. Be kind but firm, maintaining your decision not to date him. The best way to go back to being friends is to resume your activities from before he asked you out, as though nothing has changed. You both might be able to forget it ever happened this way. For example, if you used to study together on the weekend, then continue to do that. Or, if you and some friends used to go out for coffee together once a week, keep up that commitment. Try to treat him the same way you did before. You will likely experience some awkward moments after turning down your guy friend, especially if other friends know about it and bring it up in a group setting. Instead of acting embarrassed or trying to walk away, just change the subject. Loyalty is important among friends, so it is important for you to avoid gossiping about your friend or making fun of him behind his back. Try saying something like, "I don't feel like talking about that. How was your weekend?" After a while, people will lose interest in the subject. If a guy friend is wanting to date you but you don't feel the same way, he may need some time to get over you. Let him know that this is OK with you because your friendship is more important than getting to talk to him every day. Don't get upset if he decides not to talk to you for a while. Be aware that even though he doesn't tell you that he needs time away from you, this doesn't necessarily mean that he is angry with you. He just needs time to figure things out. If he continues to ignore you after a long period of time, you may want to ask if he'll sit down with you and talk about it. This will help both of you gain closure if he has decided not to be friends anymore, or may help you get your friendship back.
