Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make a meal plan to ensure you’re eating healthy. Plan meals as often as possible. Allow yourself cheat days. Choose healthy foods at restaurants. Cut down on drinking. Keep a scale in your room. Exercise. Get plenty of rest.

Answer: Write a meal plan to help enforce healthy eating habits and avoid unhealthy behaviors. Consider making a plan that includes healthy eating, exercise, and time to rest and relax alone and with friends.  Your plan should include meals that meet all of your nutritional needs to sustain your health and well-being. For example, you need to make sure you’re getting enough protein, vitamins, and fiber through foods such as lean meats or nuts, and fruits and vegetables. Aim to eat foods that are either processed minimally or that require little cooking or changing their form. Make sure to allot time for physical activity, such as walking or jogging, for at least thirty minutes a day. You’ll also want to make sure to include time for rest and relaxation, such as reading a non-school book. These can help reinforce your healthy eating habits and contribute to your overall well-being.  Be aware of places or situations where you are more likely to “sin,” such as “doing lunch” with friends or simply just feeling bored. Actively try and avoid overeating or snacking mindlessly during these situations. You can distract yourself if that’s easier. Keep clean snacks such as apples or cut vegetables with you to help avoid derailing your healthy habits.  Consider allowing yourself one day to cheat and eat foods that aren’t a part of your clean plan. One day of conscious cheating may keep you from bad behaviors on other days. Planning your meals in advance can help you to avoid poor and unhealthy eating habits. It can also help ensure that you’re getting plenty of nutrients, not gaining weight, and may even save you money. For example, plan your breakfasts to help start off your day on the right foot. Packing a lunch can help you avoid buying unhealthy fast foods. If you have lunch plans, order the healthiest choice on the menu, such as salad that isn’t loaded with cheese or heavy dressing. No person is perfect and sometimes you crave unhealthy foods. Allow yourself occasional cheat days to enjoy junk food or foods you wouldn’t normally eat on your plan. You can do this with your friends for maximum enjoyment.  There is increasing evidence that allowing yourself to cheat occasionally and consciously will help you maintain your diet in the long run because you’re not denying yourself anything.  Never berate yourself or let mistakes or cheat days derail your overall healthy habits. Setbacks are normal. Eating out is a big part of college, and it can cause a major setback for many people’s otherwise healthy diets because of processed, high fat and calorie dishes. Consciously avoiding certain foods and making good choices at restaurants can help you reinforce your good eating habits.  Picking healthy choices when eating out often means being the 'odd-one-out' when dining with friends. That's okay! Don't fall into the peer pressure of eating unhealthy foods or large amounts of alcohol. Avoid unhealthy pitfalls like breadbaskets, fried foods, or dishes in heavy sauces such as fettucine alfredo. Salads or steamed vegetables and steaks are good choices of healthy foods. Avoid buffets, which are often filled with unhealthy and processed food choices and can encourage you to overeat.  Have whole fruits for dessert, which are healthy and clean. No matter how healthy you eat, the extra calories in alcohol can sabotage your diet. In addition, staying up partying and drinking may lead to unhealthy late-night snacking.  When you do drink, stay away from sugary cocktails or mixed drinks, as they are loaded with calories. Some cocktails exceed 600 calories!  Try and stick to wine spritzers or light beers. Don't wait until you can visibly see the weight on your body to start eating healthier.  Make things a little easier for yourself by keeping a scale on hand so that you can check in every once in a while.  Always weigh yourself at the same time every day to get the most accurate reading. Keeping track of your weight can also help you determine which eating habits are working for you and which ones aren't. If you lose weight one week, for example, think back on what things you ate and what kinds of exercises you did that week. Try to replicate the routine in the future. You may want to consider taking measurements as well, since muscle weighs more than fat. Plus, there may be confounding factors, like water weight, that influence the number on the scale. Aim to exercise most days of the week. Doing cardiovascular exercise can help you lose or maintain weight and stay healthy. Plan your workouts right before or right after classes so that you know your day isn't done until you've completed everything you need to.  Aim to walk 10,000 steps a day, which translates to walking about 5 miles (or 8km) per day. Wearing a pedometer can help you make sure you’re taking enough steps per day. You can do any type of cardio training to maintain your health. Beyond walking, consider running, swimming, rowing, or biking. In addition to cardiovascular exercise, strength training can help you lose or maintain weight. It builds calorie-burning muscle while promoting your overall health. If you’re not getting enough rest, your brain and body won’t be able to function at their best. By making sure you sleep, take breaks from studying, you may be able to maintain or lose weight.  Recent studies have shows that rest is an important part of maintaining a healthy weight and reducing stress.  Aim to sleep 7-8 hours per night.  Take off at least one full day a week to give your brain and body a chance to rest and recover from studying. You could do this on your eating “cheat day.”


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use your existing PIN. Make a debit purchase anywhere Visa is accepted to activate your card. Activate your new card at an ATM by making a deposit or withdrawal.

Answer: If you already had a Visa debit card through your bank and need to activate a replacement, you can do so using the same PIN you used for your old card. You can get groceries, gas, or anything else you need at any location where Visa cards are accepted. Run the transaction as debit, rather than credit. Input your existing PIN number when asked, which will activate your card. You can only use this method if you already have a PIN. Find an ATM for your bank. Insert your card and enter your existing PIN, then use your new debit card to make a deposit or withdrawal. The transaction will activate your new card. You must have an existing PIN to activate your card this way.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Resolve your issue without court intervention. Establish that you can file a lawsuit. Verify that you have a valid legal claim. Consider the strength of your evidence. Figure out if your lawsuit is “timely.

Answer:
Usually, people do not want to go to court, therefore, many people attempt to resolve any disputes they have with each other outside of court. Even if someone has wronged you, it may be better to try and work it out with them before filing a lawsuit.  For example, if someone owes you money, you should ask the person for the money repeatedly before suing them for it, and consider setting up a payment plan with them if they are having financial difficulty. If the payment plan works out, you will likely get the money that is owed to you must faster than if you sued for it. Lawsuits can be time consuming and very expensive to get involved in, so you should try anything you can to work out your issue, and only file a lawsuit as a last resort. Many companies, such as banks, insurance companies, and companies that provide services (cable/cell phone etc.), include mandatory arbitration or mediation provisions in the contracts you sign with them.   These provisions mandate that you cannot sue the companies because you instead must resolve any dispute through one of the out-of-court dispute resolution methods. Therefore, if you have signed a contract that has a mandatory Alternative Dispute Resolution clause, you will not be able to bring a lawsuit. Before you file a lawsuit, you need to do some preliminary investigation to make sure that the law is on your side. If you do not have a valid legal claim, any lawsuit you bring will be dismissed by the court, and you will have wasted time and money.   For example, if someone “promised” to give you $100 as a gift, you legally would not be able to sue them for the $100 if they didn’t give it to you, because the court will not force someone to give something for free. Similarly, if you are involved in a car accident with someone, but you were not injured and your car was not damaged, you will not have a valid claim because you do not have any damages, even if you know that the accident was not your fault. Even if you do have a valid legal claim, you should assess the strength of your case before you file a lawsuit. To determine whether you have a strong case, consider the following:   Whether you have evidence: you should consider whether you can prove what happened in a court of law. For example, if you need witnesses, were any present, and will they be able to testify at trial? If you need papers or documents to support your claim, do you have them, or can you get them before the trial? Whether your opponent has a convincing story: you should consider whether or not your opponent has a convincing story that conflicts with yours. If so, you should consider how you will convince the court that your story is better. Whether you can prove the legal elements: you need to know the elements or facts that you legally must prove to win your case. For example, in a “breach of contract” lawsuit, you must have enough evidence to prove that there was a valid contract. Without proving the existence of a contract, you cannot show that there was a “breach.” Whether you can collect money from your opponent: you need to know whether or not you will be able to collect a judgment if you win your lawsuit. It will not be worth the money and time it takes to bring a lawsuit if your opponent doesn’t have any money or assets, because you will not be able to collect anything, even if you win. However, if money is no object, you may want to consider a lawsuit anyway in order to get validation that your opponent was wrong. Who could be responsible: before filing a lawsuit, you should think of all of the possible parties that could be legally responsible for your harm. For example, if you were involved in an accident with a truck driver, you may consider suing not only the truck driver who struck you, but also his employer, if he was working at the time of the accident. ” Even if you have a great case, you will not be able to sue if you wait too long. You must file your lawsuit within the time that your state laws set as the “statute of limitations” for your type of claim. All states have their own time limits depending on the type of case.   For example, one state may allow a plaintiff who wants to file a personal injury suit 1 year from the date of the injury, while another state may allow 4 years from the date of the injury. As a good rule of thumb, you will be okay if you file your lawsuit within a year from the date of the harm, no matter what type of claim you have or what state you live in.
