Problem: Article: Your ticket may have information about your eligibility for traffic school. If not, visit the website of the court that issued your ticket. The issuing court will be printed on your ticket. Eligibility varies by court and locality. Generally, you'll need to have valid driver's license, a certain type of violation, and minimum number of previous violations and traffic school course completions. Traffic schools may be regulated by your state/province or a local court. It's super important that you take an online course that they've approved. Your ticket may include a list of approved courses. Otherwise, visit your court's website or call them. If you are torn between multiple approved courses, check the fees and go with the cheaper one. Sometimes a judge will order you to take a specific course, which makes finding the right one really easy. Older drivers may be able to take voluntary online traffic courses to get insurance discounts. Once you've picked a traffic school course, you'll need to make sure your computer supports the program. If not, you may need to choose a new course, update your computer, or borrow someone else's. Remember, you'll need internet access to take online traffic school. You may need to update your browser and download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. Generally, they fall between $20-$50 depending on the traffic school and the intensity of the course. If you're taking online traffic school to address a violation, you may need to pay court fees and fines too, which should be noted on your ticket. If you're not sure about fees and fines, call the court that issued your ticket or visit their website.
Summary: Check with the court to make sure you qualify. Find a list of courses approved by the court that issued your ticket. Make sure your computer meets the school's system requirements. Pay the fees.

Problem: Article: Some skates have hooks at the top. Cross the laces as you would if you were lacing through holes, then draw the laces either from the top of the hooks down, or the bottom of the hooks up. Either direction will work. From there, draw the laces together in front of the skate to begin your knot.
Summary: Loop around the hooks.

Problem: Article: Before you dive into working, cleaning, writing or whatever else you need to do, turn off or silence your cell phone and anything else that might prove to be a distraction. This includes the TV, video games, etc. Technology is arguably the biggest distraction in modern society, and being surrounded by beeping, buzzing, flashing devices can really hold you back. Unless you use your computer for work, shut it down or set it to hibernate. Disable sound alerts for texts, emails and tweets to keep yourself from looking at your phone every time there's activity. If you have an especially hard time keeping yourself on task, put away potential distractions somewhere that it would be a hassle to get them back out. When you really need to buckle down, work in silence and give your thoughts room to stretch. Your mind naturally fixates on melodies, rhythms and lyrics. Music can uplift your spirits and make the time pass faster, but by subconsciously following along with a song playing in the background, you'll be limiting your ability to concentrate whether you realize it or not. Save the tunes for after you've finished a particular project, or for times when you're performing light, mindless tasks. If you work from home or are involved in creative endeavors, pick a place where you can work comfortably for long periods of time. This could be a small corner desk, a well-lit sunroom or your favorite coffee shop. The point is to surround yourself with an atmosphere that makes completing tasks easier. Be careful of surroundings that can dull your focus in other ways. People tend to associate spaces with their common uses, so trying to work in a quiet bedroom may just make you sleepy. As best you can, try to insulate yourself from being distracted by others when you have big projects that demand your attention. Situate yourself someplace where people are unlikely to pass by and pull you out of your zone. If you work in an office, for instance, shutting the door can relay the message that you'd prefer not to be bothered. This may not always be possible if you share a space with coworkers, customers or children, but you should at least be able to single out which interactions are necessary and which aren't. Organizing your duties in their most efficient logical order can also keep you from having to interrupt your own work later on. Putting on a pair of headphones, even if they're not playing anything, will make you appear busy and discourage people from trying to start casual conversations.
Summary: Shut off your phone and other electronics. Put your music on pause. Find out where you work best. Make sure you won't be interrupted.

Problem: Article: "Therefore" will not work in all sentences. It has a very specific meaning and is only appropriate to use in certain situations. The best way to remember when it is appropriate to use "therefore" in a sentence is to consider if you are using it to show cause and effect. In other words, does the first statement lead to or cause the other statement? If not, then "therefore" is probably not appropriate for that sentence. For example, use "therefore" to show the cause and effect relationship between these two statements: "John studied hard for the math exam. He got an A+." Your revised sentence would read: "John studied hard for the math exam. Therefore, he got an A+." Another example might be, "People who exercise regularly enjoy better health. You should exercise." Adding "therefore" will improve the flow between these two ideas as well. "People who exercise regularly enjoy better health. Therefore, you should exercise." " "Therefore" may be used to replace some other words and phrases, but it is important to check the meaning first. Not all transition words and phrases can stand in for "therefore." For example, "Sally passed her drive test. As a result, she received her driver's license." You can replace "as a result" with "therefore" because it has the same meaning as this phrase. Don't use "therefore" in place of a coordinating conjunction in most cases. Coordinating conjunctions include the words for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. Each of these terms has a specific meaning and they are not interchangeable with each other or with "therefore." Always check the meaning of a word or phrase before you use it in a sentence. Including the word "therefore" in your writing is a great way to improve the flow of your writing. A sentence or paragraph may sound choppy without transitions, but adding a transition word like "therefore" can help to eliminate that choppiness. Try reading your work out loud to find places where you might need a transition, and then check to see if "therefore" could work in that instance. For example, these sentences sound choppy as is: "The weather was hot. He wore shorts and a T-shirt to school." However, adding a transition word like "therefore" improves the flow: "The weather was hot. Therefore, he wore shorts and a T-shirt to school."
Summary:
Use "therefore" to show cause and effect. Replace parallel meaning transition words and phrases with "therefore. Include "therefore" to improve sentence flow.
