Problem: Write an article based on this summary: File a lawsuit in small claims court  File a lawsuit File a Petition for Citation.

Answer: . Check your state’s statutes or state court's website to determine if you can file a claim. Dollar limits can range from $2,500 to $25,000, depending on the state. You can locate your state court’s website and statues by following the correct link from the National Center for State Courts’ [state court directory].  If you do go to court, prepare for your hearing. If you have a contract, promissory note, or any other documentary evidence of the debt, make enough copies that you can provide the Judge and the debtor, or his or her attorney, with a copy. You should also make copies of any other evidence you wish to submit in the same manner. This can be a drastic step. Make sure the amount owed is worth the hassle of appearing in court. If the debtor is a friend or relative, this can definitely have a negative impact on that relationship. . If you fail in small claims court, or are not allowed to file claim there, go to the state court. Consult or hire an attorney, file the proper forms, and prepare for your court date with as much necessary paperwork as you can gather.  This option is generally more expensive, considering court and attorney fees, but if you are successful, it may be worth it more than using a collection agency.  The threat of a suit may be enough to bring someone to pay, but you should not make such a threat unless you intend to follow through. Once you have obtained a judgment against a debtor, you may file a Petition for Citation, for contempt of court, if they still fail to pay it. Filing a Petition for Citation along with a Notice of Hearing will cause the court to set a hearing, forcing the debtor to return to court and explain why they have not paid the debt. At the hearing, you should ask the court for permission to garnish the debtor’s wages.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Treat others with respect. Help those in need. Listen to others.

Answer: Awesome individuals treat others the way they wish to be treated. As you transform into an awesome individual, go out of your way to show respect to strangers, colleagues, friends, and family members. You can respect a person's opinion, space, body, and belongings. In a world that seems to be driven by a this-for-that sentiment, practicing kindness for its own sake is amazing. If you are looking for ways to help people, consider:  Assisting your parents with yard work. Volunteering at a local nursing home. Cooking a friend a meal. Revising your sibling's paper. Having the ability to actively listen to others is an amazing trait. People appreciate when their voice is acknowledged and their feelings are validated. You can improve your listening skills by:  Putting away and ignoring all forms of distractions, such as your phone, while someone is speaking. Maintaining eye contact with the person that is talking. Smiling and nodding at the individual to let them know you hear what they are saying. Mirroring the speaker's facial expressions to demonstrate that you are empathizing with them.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take time to put the starting touches on the massage area. Have her remove her top and bra and lie face down. Apply oil to your hands and her back. Start by massaging her shoulders. Knead the sides of the back with your thumbs and fingers. Slide your hand up and down the sides of her back. Use your body's weight for pressure.

Answer: While she is decompressing go ahead and put the finishing touches on the setup. Light the candles and turn on the music. Wait until she is ready to do any of this. If you do this before she has arrived she may not feel she can de-stress. Furthermore you don't want to leave the candles unattended since they can catch other items on fire. When she is ready for the massage she will likely do this naturally. If she is uncomfortable with taking off her bra for this you may allow her to lie down before unfastening the strap. Let her know that oil may get on her bra if she does not remove it after lying down. Unless you are used to spreading oil on skin, start by applying the oil to your hands. Then rub your hands on her back. If you seem to need more, put more on your hands and repeat. Do this until your hands slide effortlessly up and down her back. Be sure to get her shoulders, neck, and sides. Herein lies much of her stress. Start by cupping your hands over her shoulders. Gently squeeze your hands to put pressure on the muscles in her shoulders. Apply pressure evenly with your fingers as you massage the muscles. Avoid the collar bone and move left and right from neck to arms and back.  One technique is to place your thumb on the back of her shoulder for pressure. While keeping the fingers in the same place, move the thumb across her back and toward her neck with each squeeze. Reposition your fingers and hand periodically to ensure a complete massage. Don't forget the neck and the upper arms. With the neck, simply massage the back and sides gently with your fingertips and thumbs. With the upper arms you will come almost entirely off the shoulder and knead the upper arm. Apply equal pressure with your fingers and thumb and allow your hand to slip away from the arm with each squeeze. After massaging her shoulders, move to her back. Place your open hands on each side of her back. with the tips of your fingers and thumbs, begin making small circular movements while slightly opening and closing your hand. As you move down the back, massage with your thumbs the muscles beside the spine while your fingers massage her sides.  Avoid the spine or anything that might tickle or cause pain. The spine and muscles do not massage well. You can cause a lot of unwanted pain (or injury) by pressing too hard on them. Furthermore, any tickling, punching, poking, slapping, or scratching should be avoided unless requested. Typically this upsets a calm mood. If you were not making circular movements, your fingers would be moving in and out from your palm about and inch or two. Keep your fingers spread apart during this exercise. This provides more coverage and pressure is distributed more evenly. Try to apply pressure evenly throughout the bottom of the finger rather than focused on the tips. After kneading the back and sides you can use a hand slide. Slide your open hand, palm down, up her back from the lower back to her shoulders and arms. Then slide your hands back to her lower back. Repeat this motion several times remembering to provide even pressure throughout the hand. If you feel a lot of friction, add more oil promptly. As the massage progresses you may notice your hands getting fatigued. Position yourself so that you can use your body weight to apply pressure. Not too much pressure--you don't want to hurt her. But use your body's weight instead of constant squeezing to give your hands a break. This technique is especially useful when sliding up and down her back.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Hold the camera out to the animal for a good sniff. Get them used to the flash and shutter sound. Give your pet a minute to explore a new area.

Answer:
Anytime an animal sees something new, it's going to be curious, especially cats. Let the animal take a moment to give the camera a good sniff all over, so they will be less likely to do so in the middle of your photo shoot. If you're not photographing your own pet, let the animal give you a good sniff as well, so they are more comfortable in the session. Sometimes, the flash will freeze an animal in place for a second, which can be good if you're trying to get a still shot. However, both the shutter sound and flash can distract the animal enough to ruin the shot, so take a few shots just so they can get used to that part of the camera. Try shooting a couple of shots towards the ceiling so the animal can hear the shutter sound and see the flash. If you go outside or you take your pet to a new area, they are going to want to explore. Give them a few minutes to look around first! That way, they won't be as distracted when you're ready to take the pictures.  If your pet is on a leash, walk them slowly around the area, letting them sniff as you go. If you're in a confined space with a small animal, give them a chance to walk around by itself for a minute.
