Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Have an objective. Sigh. Act like you are not hungry. Tell others you are tired and weak. Pretend to have lost interest in things. Act absent minded. Spend lots of time alone.

Answer: Well-trained actors don't "play sad," since this can come across as melodramatic and staged. Actors that want to convey sadness convincingly try to play an objective. For instance, if an actor is trying to look sad because his grandmother died, he will focus on showing how much he cared about and misses her, rather than just shedding lots of tears. If you are trying to act sad, you can borrow this method. For instance: If you want to act sad so that someone will realize that they hurt you, think about how the person upset you, in addition to using physical signs to convey sadness. If you want to act sad so that people will leave you alone, focus your thoughts on why it is that you genuinely want solitude. Commonly recognized as an expression of grief, sighing around other people will be taken as a sign of sadness. Don't overdo it by sighing too loudly or too frequently, however. Try sighing quietly as you gaze downward, especially when you know other people are looking at you. When someone asks you a question like "How's it going?," sigh and look downward before responding with something like "I don't know," or "Not great." Loss of appetite frequently accompanies sadness or grief. If you want others to believe that you are sad, try not eating much when you are around them. You can also say things like "I'm just not hungry today," and listlessly poke at your food. Being sad or depressed can make a person feel fatigued or exhausted. If you constantly tell other people that you are tired or have no energy, they might start to believe that you are sad. Try saying things like: "I don't know what's wrong with me. I just don't have any energy today." "I just didn't want to get out of bed today." "I want to just crawl under a blanket and go back to sleep." When a person loses interest in activities or other things he or she previously enjoyed, it might be a sign of sadness. If you want to convince others that you are sad, act like you no longer care about some things. For instance: If your friends always go out to the movies on the weekend, tell them you just don't feel like it this week. If people show you something they expect you to find fun or interesting, like a new cat video, act like you just don't care. If you are known as a big fan of something, like a sport, video game, or music, announce that you've lost interest in it. When people are sad or depressed, they may have unusual difficulty concentrating. To pretend you are sad, act like you are lost in thought or forgetful. For instance, when someone comes up to talk to you, don't look at the person. When he or she starts talking to you, don't respond right away. Keep looking away, and after a few seconds look up at the person and say something like "What was that?" or "I'm sorry, I was lost in thoughtwhat did you say?" Withdrawal from other people is common when someone is sad. If you want to convince others that you are sad, you will have to spend some time separated from them. It's not hard to convey sadness this way, even when you can't really get away from people. You can try: Walking alone behind other people when you have to travel in a group. Going into another room by yourself when you are at home with others. Standing in a corner by yourself when you have to be indoors with others. Walking away from other people without saying anything to any of them. Not responding when other people try to communicate with you by text, email, phone, or in any other way.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Purchase a single ticket if you're looking to get started playing. Play weekly if you have money to set aside for a ticket. Join a lottery pool to purchase multiple tickets as a group. Play less often if you wish to chase a big jackpot.

Answer: All you need is a single ticket to play. While you can always buy more, the extra tickets often do not increase your odds of winning by a significant amount. Since your chance of winning is so low on the most popular games, you don't need to go out of your way to spend lots of money playing. You're better off setting aside a part of your budget for tickets when you have some money to spare. Some people buy hundreds of tickets and lose. Don't get caught up by the hype of a big jackpot! The biggest lotteries have the ability to print an unlimited number of tickets for every possible number combination. That is why the extra tickets usually don't pay off. You can't win if you don't play! Since winning is all about luck, increase your chances by getting in the game as often as possible. Many lotteries have a drawing each week. Purchase a ticket before each new drawing in order to give yourself a shot at the jackpot. The week you don't play could be the week where your numbers come up. If you really want to win, play as often as you can. Having patience and dedication helps. Organize a group at your office, school, church, or anywhere else you can find people willing to play. In a pool, everyone who joins agrees to buy at least one ticket. If someone wins, they split the money evenly with everyone else in the pool. Depending on how many people join the pool, you could accumulate a bunch of tickets without shelling out a lot of your own money. Keep in mind that the odds of a big jackpot are still very remote and, if you do win, you will have to share the payout with everyone in the pool. Make sure someone trustworthy handles the money and tickets. Keep a photocopy of your ticket and receipt to ensure you have proof in case you win. Instead of getting a ticket for every single drawing, save up to play for the big prize. If you're accustomed to playing a game weekly, you could set aside your money until the payout gets bigger. That way, you get to have fun without spending more than you normally would. The extra tickets bump up your chances of winning very slightly. The odds of winning are still low no matter how many tickets you get, but this strategy could be fun for you if you're only in it for the big payout. Many lotteries, including big ones like Powerball, have a cumulative jackpot that gets bigger when no one wins. For the best chance of winning money, do this for a smaller game such as a state pick-3. With bigger games like EuroMillions, your odds will still be very low.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Register a domain at a host who supports PHP. Download forum software. Download an FTP client. Create a MySQL database. Set up your forums. If you are using phpBB: Clean up time. Login and Customize

Answer:
Many services provide a place to host your BBS, and generally offer guaranteed uptime, easy setup, domain names, and customer support. Many forum hosting providers now include a service that automates forum installation of 2 of the more popular forum software applications, SimpleMachines and phpBB (if so, follow your hosts instructions to install and then skip to the login portion of the instructions below). Consider free open source software that's very well supported, both in terms of development and community support. You will need this to upload your PHP content to your host. Set this up on your host through the control panel of your domain. Go to example.com/forumdirectory/install.php to install and configure your forums. In your FTP client, go to config.php > Properties and set the CHMOD settings to 666. Follow the instructions on install.php. After finishing installation, go to the CHMOD settings of config.php and change them to 644 (if you are using phpBB 2). Delete the install and contrib directories. Go to example.com/forumdirectory/index.php. Login and go to the admin panel to customize your forum.
