Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take a short walk during breaks to prevent sleepiness. Break your material down into smaller chunks to avoid burnout. Set larger achievement rewards.

Answer: If you get sleepy while you study, movement can help wake you up. Instead of browsing the internet during your break, stand up from your desk. Stretch and run in place. Then take a short 5-minute walk around the room. Studying too much information at once can cause you to feel overwhelmed. Instead, separate your notes into smaller sections. Each time you master a section, you'll feel a sense of satisfaction! For example, instead of trying to memorize all of your equations, focus on 1 or 2 at a time. Add more only once you have mastered the previous ones. If you're studying history, break up your notes according to event, historical figure, or time period. For example, you might study 10 years at a time or focus on the consequences of 1 historical event. You can organize your breaks around these smaller chunks. This will help you rest a little more while you learn your material. To encourage yourself to accomplish large study goals, plan large rewards for your hard work. For instance, if you study all weekend for a midterm exam and cover all the material, reward yourself with tickets to a concert on the next weekend. Having an exciting incentive in mind while you study will make the whole process more enjoyable.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn to prepare and file court documents. Hone your computer skills. Improve your writing and grammar. Develop a professional demeanor. Learn to retrieve court decisions on online legal databases.

Answer: Legal secretaries are responsible for preparing  court forms, filing them in court and serving them on opposing parties.   Become familiar with a variety of legal documents, including briefs, subpoenas, complaints and proofs of service. Memorize the deadlines for filing court documents. Missing a deadline can be considered a default in favor of the opposition. Become acquainted with court filing fees. Practice typing.  Large law firms usually require a legal secretary to be able to type 65-80 words per minute, while a government entry level job may accept a slightly lower speed  (around 45-50 words per minute). Learn to navigate software programs, such as Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Legal secretaries are expected to write letters and legal documents from dictated tapes or handwritten notes.  They must also proofread documents prepared by attorneys and paralegals.  If you are not confident in basic grammar and spelling, consider taking a writing class. Study legal terms likely to come up in your job so that you understand them when you are asked to write about them. As a legal secretary, you will be expected to regularly interact with clients, attorneys, and co-workers in a professional manner.  Practice expressing yourself clearly and politely. Buy clothing appropriate for a formal office environment. Some legal secretaries are expected to retrieve court decisions from online legal databases, like LexisNexis and Westlaw.  These websites are subscription-based and expensive to access on an individual basis.   However, there may be opportunities, either at your legal secretary course or at an internship, for you to learn the basic search functions of these cites. When looking up a case, keep in mind that the citation must include the volume, reporter designation and page number.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Spread your seeds. Lightly cover with more soil. Water lightly. Reseed as necessary. Alternatively, buy sod.

Answer: If you are intending to reintroduce grass to that area, you will need to buy grass seed that is appropriate for your needs and the area in which you live. Get your seed, as well as a hand spreader or other tool to spread the seed evenly. Lightly cover the seeds with a sprinkling of topsoil and lightly tamp it down. Mist the area with water 4 times a day for at least 2 days to encourage the seeds to germinate. Give the grass time to grow in and then reseed areas where the grass does not grow in to your satisfaction. You can also buy sod if you are impatient or want a particularly uniform appearance.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make sure that FFmpeg is installed. Find a video or song to convert. Copy the video or song. Place the video or song on your desktop. Determine your file's current format. Figure out a target format. Note your file's name. Open Terminal. Switch your command line to the Desktop. Enter the conversion command. Press ⏎ Return. View your converted file.

Answer:
Unlike on a Windows computer, FFmpeg is easiest to install as part of the Homebrew package manager, which you can quickly install via Terminal:  Go to https://brew.sh/ in your browser. Copy the code below the "Install Homebrew" heading by selecting it and then pressing ⌘ Command+C. Open Spotlight {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/e\/ea\/Macspotlight.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/ea\/Macspotlight.png\/30px-Macspotlight.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":460,"bigWidth":"30","bigHeight":"30","licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>I edited this screenshot of a Mac icon.\n<\/p><p>License: <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a><br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}, type in terminal, and double-click Terminal  Paste in the copied code by pressing ⌘ Command+V. Press ⏎ Return, then wait for the installation to complete. Type in brew install ffmpeg and press ⏎ Return. You can use FFmpeg to change both videos and songs into different compatible formats (i.e., you can change a video into another video format or an audio file into another audio format). Select the file and then press ⌘ Command+C to do so. You'll do this so that you have a backup copy of the original file in case something goes wrong. Go to your computer's desktop, then press ⌘ Command+V. You should see the file appear here. By doing this, your file will be in an easily accessible place when you go to convert it. You can do this by clicking the file to select it, clicking File, clicking Get Info, and looking at the extension on the end of the file name (e.g., ".mp4"). You can convert video-to-video, video-to-audio, and audio-to-audio using the following formats:   Video - MP4, MOV, WEBM, FLV, AIFF, and AVI are all common video formats which are supported by FFmpeg.  Audio - MP3, WAV, WMA, M4A, AAC, and OGG are all common audio formats which are supported by FFmpeg. Click your file once to see its full name. You'll need to enter the file's full name into FFmpeg. If you closed Terminal after installing FFmpeg, you can re-open it by clicking Spotlight {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/e\/ea\/Macspotlight.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/ea\/Macspotlight.png\/30px-Macspotlight.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":460,"bigWidth":"30","bigHeight":"30","licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>I edited this screenshot of a Mac icon.\n<\/p><p>License: <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a><br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}, typing in terminal, and double-clicking {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/1\/14\/Macterminal.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/1\/14\/Macterminal.png\/30px-Macterminal.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":460,"bigWidth":"30","bigHeight":"30","licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>I edited this screenshot of a Mac icon.\n<\/p><p>License: <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a><br>\n<\/p><\/div>"} Terminal. Type in cd desktop and press ⏎ Return. This will tell Terminal to look for any files that you mention in the Desktop folder. The conversion command starts with ffmpeg -i and then includes your file's current name and file type as well as whatever you want the converted file name and file type to be.  For example, to convert an MP4 video called "Kitties" into a WAV file called "Cats", you would type in ffmpeg -i Kitties.mp4 Cats.wav here. Be sure to keep your file name exactly as it appears (for example, if your file name uses a capital letter, enter it using the capital letter in the command line). If your file name uses spaces, you can place the video's name and extension in quotes. For example, YouTube Drama.mp4 would become "YouTube Drama.mp4" (placing underscores doesn't work if they aren't in the title). As long as the formats are compatible and the file name for the original file is correct, doing so will prompt FFmpeg to begin converting your file. Converting files (especially videos) can take a large amount of time. If you're converting a large video or audio file, just be sure to keep Terminal open until a new, blank line appears at the bottom. Once your file finishes converting, you'll see it on the Desktop under the name that you entered for it.
