Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check with the court to make sure you qualify. Find a list of courses approved by the court that issued your ticket. Make sure your computer meets the school’s system requirements. Pay the fees.

Answer: Your ticket may have information about your eligibility for traffic school. If not, visit the website of the court that issued your ticket.  The issuing court will be printed on your ticket. Eligibility varies by court and locality. Generally, you’ll need to have valid driver’s license, a certain type of violation, and minimum number of previous violations and traffic school course completions. Traffic schools may be regulated by your state/province or a local court. It’s super important that you take an online course that they’ve approved. Your ticket may include a list of approved courses. Otherwise, visit your court’s website or call them.  If you are torn between multiple approved courses, check the fees and go with the cheaper one. Sometimes a judge will order you to take a specific course, which makes finding the right one really easy.  Older drivers may be able to take voluntary online traffic courses to get insurance discounts. Once you’ve picked a traffic school course, you’ll need to make sure your computer supports the program. If not, you may need to choose a new course, update your computer, or borrow someone else’s.  Remember, you’ll need internet access to take online traffic school. You may need to update your browser and download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. Generally, they fall between $20-$50 depending on the traffic school and the intensity of the course. If you’re taking online traffic school to address a violation, you may need to pay court fees and fines too, which should be noted on your ticket. If you’re not sure about fees and fines, call the court that issued your ticket or visit their website.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Eat more often. Reduce your intake of high-fiber foods. Adjust your fruit and veggie portions. Check for a lactose intolerance. Choose potassium-rich foods.

Answer: Instead of three large meals that can fill your belly and tax your digestive system, eat small, frequent meals or snacks. Eat your meals about two to three hours apart; they'll take up less space in your stomach, cause less expansion, keep your metabolism up and keep you feeling full. Many high fiber foods, such as broccoli, beans, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower, cause gas and bloating.  Eliminate them from your diet during this week.  When the week is over, gradually add them back one at a time.  You might find that some bother your stomach more than others, and you can adjust your diet accordingly to get your fiber and keep your stomach flat. Fight back against gas-producing foods by using Beano, which contains an enzyme that helps to break down complex sugars found in beans and cruciferous vegetables so that they can be digested more easily. While raw vegetables and fruits are great choices for overall health, they cause your stomach to stretch, so it's best to eat them in smaller portions spread throughout the day. If dairy products cause uncomfortable gas and bloating, you may have difficulty digesting lactose, the sugar found in dairy.  Try eating low-lactose foods such as yogurt, consume only small amounts of milk products at one time and eat them with other foods.  You can also buy lactose-free products or take a digestive aid such as Lactaid to help break down the lactose in your digestive tract. Eat high potassium foods including avocado, mini bananas, papaya, mango, cantaloupe and nonfat yogurt (made without artificial sweeteners). Potassium is a natural diuretic, so it will help reduce water retention and puffiness.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take up a new hobby to keep yourself busy. Look for someone else to start moving on. Visualize your next significant other. Get encouragement and support from others.

Answer: Sitting around and thinking about this person constantly is not only unproductive, but could make you extremely depressed. Instead, use your energy to take up a new hobby. Keeping your body and mind occupied is key right now to stop yourself from dwelling on this sad aspect of your life. If you can’t find a hobby you enjoy doing, go online to look for opportunities to have fun. For example, you could join a club, start exercising, travel, or do anything you’ve always wanted to do. There’s no better time than now to start focusing on you. It may be hard to imagine yourself with anyone except for this person, but doing so is a good idea. Finding someone else to spend time with can help you realize that there is someone out there who understands what a catch you are. It can also make you stop thinking about this person who is unattainable. You could join an online dating site, or ask your friends and family to connect you with someone. You may also be able to connect with someone at your church, school, or job. You may be surprised at how many people you’ve looked over because you are only focusing on the person you couldn’t have. Think about the traits of the next person you want to have a relationship with. Be honest and true to yourself about what you really want. Doing this may prevent you from getting into the same situation you are in now. Don’t settle for anything less than what you really want. You may be tempted to get over this person, but falling for someone who isn’t what you want may not make you fully happy, and you deserve to be happy. Talking about how you feel is vital to your mental health. Bottling up your emotions and feelings may seem like a good idea at first, but you’ll never feel better holding onto your anger, hurt, bitterness, and even grief. Talk to a trusted friend or family member about how you feel, and you’ll heal much faster. You may even want to join a support group or speak to a counselor about your situation. They may be able to offer you ideas on how to move on and can give your self-confidence a boost so that you can meet the person you were meant to.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Train your bird. Hold your bird so that it can’t fly off. Ask your veterinarian about trimming your bird’s wings.

Answer:
You should train your bird to step up on your index finger. Place your index finger in front of it, say “up,” and give it a treat every time it steps up. Practice this even when you aren’t putting it back in the cage, so it doesn’t assume that step up practice will translate into going back into the cage. In fact, sometimes you should put it in the cage and let it come back out, so that it does not know for sure that returning to the cage translates into a prolonged period of enclosure.  You can try practicing with things other than your finger, includes sticks. Ladders can be particularly useful because birds naturally like to walk up them. Training your bird to do this can be an easy way to get them back into the cage. Because birds like to move upward, your bird will often grow fonder of this trick if you begin to lift your finger slowly after it steps up.  Some people recommend that you perform this procedure every time you return your bird to its cage. The idea is that, if you allow it to fly back on its own volition it might come to believe that it sets its own schedule for outside time. Once you have it on your index finger, you need to secure your bird so that it can’t fly off, but also so that it is still comfortable. One way to do this is to press your thumb lightly against your index finger, securing the birds feet to your finger. Alternatively, you can hold your other hand over its back gently, so that it will not be able to extend its wings out. You should practice these positions during regular training, so that your bird becomes accustomed to them and does not anticipate that it means a return to the cage. Also, if it becomes second nature, you will be less likely to forget to secure it and allow it to fly off when it is someplace foreign or dangerous. If you are having trouble controlling your bird, you can have its wings trimmed, permitting it to fly only a little or not at all, depending on how short they are clipped. This can, however, be counterproductive, because your bird will not tire itself outside of the cage and might be less willing to return.
