INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you get caught in a rip current, don't panic. You'll have a better shot at getting out of the situation if you stay calm. Keeping your cool can help you conserve energy and think clearly. Escape involves floating with the current, then swimming parallel to the shore to cross the current's edge. If you can’t swim, call for help and wave your arms to get the attention of a lifeguard or other people on the beach. If you know how to swim, you should be able to escape and swim back to shore at an angle away from the current. However, if you have any doubt about your ability to break free of the current, call and wave for help. or tread water until you can swim out of the current. Your instincts may be to fight the current and swim directly back to shore. However, that’s the most dangerous thing you could do. Instead, focus on keeping your head above water until the current has weakened and you're able to swim through its boundary.  Most rip currents weaken about 50 to 100 yards (46 to 91 m) from shore. Once the current has begun to subside, you’ll have an easier time swimming out of it. Even the strongest swimmers can’t fight a rip current. Trying to swim against it can lead to exhaustion and drowning. Most rip currents are between 30 and 100 feet (9.1 and 30.5 m) wide. Look for the nearest breaking waves; they indicate the current’s edge. Swim toward the waves, and be sure to move parallel to the shore instead of directly towards it. Once you are out of the current, make your way back to shore at an angle away from the current. Swimming diagonally away from the rip current minimizes the chance that you'll reenter it.  Rip currents often form around jetties and other structures perpendicular (at a 90-degree angle) to the beach. If you are near one of these structures, swim away from it. If necessary, stop and float periodically to rest. If you’re exhausted and can’t swim any further, call for help and wave your arms.

SUMMARY: Remain calm. Call for help if you’re not a strong swimmer. Float Swim parallel to shore to escape the current. Swim diagonally to the shore after you're out of the current.

Smiling has a two sided effect: you look more pleasant, and you feel more pleasant. Smiling makes others more comfortable because it gives you the appearance of being comfortable. When you smile, you tighten the muscles in your cheek which decreases the flow of blood to the cavernous sinus. This cools the blood flowing into your brain which leads to pleasant feelings. If you notice yourself in a non-pleasant situation, remember to keep your face pleasant.  Simply placing the muscles of your face in the pattern of pleasant emotion elicits the feeling. In other words, facial expression influences your mood. Constantly fidgeting with your clothes or adjusting your hair every other minute will take away from your pleasant expression. People will read that you’re uncomfortable and begin to doubt your expressions. Carrying confidence to back up your pleasant expression will give you a demeanor that makes others comfortable and engaged.

One-sentence summary -- Smile when appropriate. Focus during uncomfortable situations. Have confidence in your appearance.

Q: Before your hearing, go sit in the audience of a small claims hearing. It can be helpful to know what to expect when the judge calls your name and asks you to present your case. Being prepared is an easy way to increase your chances of winning. Don't underestimate the value of preparedness. You don't want to show up to court with an entourage of friends and followers. But having a few witnesses who can convince the judge of your reliability can be helpful. Whenever possible, use direct or circumstantial evidence. Either is better than making unsubstantiated claims.  Direct evidence is evidence that proves a fact without any guesswork. You might be able to provide many types of direct evidence. One example might be the damaged or broken piece of property you are seeking payment for; testimony from someone who saw the defendant damage the property would also be direct evidence; and a third example might be a receipt displaying the total value of the damaged property.  Circumstantial evidence suggests something occurred, but you can't prove it directly. For example, you might have a witness who says she saw the defendant take the piece of property and enter a building. She might go on to say that she saw the defendant leave the building with the damaged or broken property. This doesn't prove the defendant damaged the property. It would, however, suggest that this is a likely possibility.  Whenever possible, avoid relying on hearsay. Hearsay is testimony or documents which quote a person who is not in court. Your judge will likely be hearing many cases and will appreciate a clear, efficient explanation of your case. When preparing for your hearing, be sure to consider the following:  What happened? How has it affected you? How much does the other party owe you? Why is the defendant at fault? Prepare concise answers to all these questions.
A: Sit in on a small claims court hearing. Enlist witnesses and evidence. Get your point across effectively.
