Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Store the bags of Brussels sprouts in the freezer for up to 12 months.

Answer: After 12 months, the Brussels sprouts may start to lose their flavor and texture. If the Brussels sprouts are dry or discolored when you take them out of the freezer, it could be a sign that they've developed freezer burn. They're still safe to eat, but they may not taste as good. If you want the Brussels sprouts to maintain their color, flavor, and nutritional value for longer in the freezer, it's a good idea to blanch them before you freeze them.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Know that service dogs can provide security for an autistic child. Realize that a service dog can help an autistic child understand affection. Understand that service dogs can prevent autistic children from wandering off. Know that the service dog can help to keep the child safe and calm at school. Know that though the dog can help, a child will need an adult handler at all times. Understand most programs offer specialized training to fit a child's needs. Be aware that it's possible to train a service dog for your child's individual needs.

Answer: Autism assistance dogs offer a variety of services that improve the lives of autistic children. Autism assistance dogs can work as a security item. The dog will allow the child to feel safe and help them to child sleep without their parents with little to no crying. Autistic children sometimes do not know how to demonstrate their love. Service dogs encourage an affectionate relationship between dog and child, and this learning can carry into other relationships in the child's life. Some autistic children will never be able to physically show affection due to sensory issues. However, this does not mean that they cannot express it through speech, writing, or alternative forms of communication. Another behavior that is common in autistic children is wandering away from parents. These children often don't understand or see the necessity of staying with their parents, which can lead to stressful situations for the parents. Allowing the child to hold onto the dog, or even tethering the child to the dog, can prevent the child from wandering off, as the dog is trained to stay near the parents. Additionally, the service dog will help to ensure the child's safety when crossing the street. While an autistic child might attempt to run into a busy street, the service dog is trained to sit on the sidewalk until the road is clear and it is safe to cross. Allowing the service dog to accompany the child to school can help the child to remain with the rest of the class and not wander off. This can improve the child's relations with their teachers and help them to stay more engaged during class. Service dogs have even been shown to limit the number of meltdowns that autistic children experience in school. This is because the dog provides a comforting, familiar presence which calms the child. The dog also provides a source of unconditional love and acceptance, which the child may not get from students, teachers, or even therapists. This ensures control over the dog and prevents the dog from disrupting the environment. Also be aware that public schooling does not usually provide a handler for the dog. Each autistic child is unique, so the service dogs are often trained to work specifically for your child's needs. This ensures that the dog will be equipped to deal with the individual problems or concerns of the child. This is usually referred to as an owner trained service dog. Before beginning, know your boundaries to training a dog and be willing to work with a local dog trainer.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Send a welcome email and provide an opt-in option. Send a test email first. Track the effectiveness through analytics.

Answer: Before you start marketing to someone new, you should first send a welcome email. Introduce the company and let them know what to expect from future emails. Provide an opt-in form that allows them to confirm that they want to receive further emails from you. To give them incentive to opt-in, provide an attractive offer in the welcome email. For example, you could offer a free product or discount with their next purchase. An opt-in option can help prevent you from spamming people and get your relationship with that person started on the right foot. Every email you send should also have an obvious unsubscribe link in it. This allows the person to opt-out at any time. Once you hit "send" on an email, there's no going back. You can't make corrections or change any of the content. Before you send an email out to your entire email list, send it to a few key people in your company. Have these people review the email content, confirm that all the links work, proofread the text, make sure the formatting looks right, etc. You will feel a lot more comfortable and confident about sending the final email out to your list if you do a test send first. Most email service providers include free analytics when you use their programs. These analytics provide a great deal of information about the email's effectiveness, but the three most important metrics are the open rate, click through rate (CTR), and unsubscribes. Knowing this information can help you tweak your content for more successful email marketing in the future. The open rate tells you how effective your subject line was by showing you how many people opened the email and how many people didn't. CTR shows you how many people heeded the call-to-action, which essentially tells you how successful your content was. Unsubscribe information lets you know when you've created ineffective content because it tracks how many people opted-out of receiving future emails from you after seeing the current one.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Give them a big hug, if they are okay with the contact. Play to your strengths. Be optimistic. Don't be sad yourself Know that sometimes people need to be sad.

Answer:
Some people when upset may push away, but this is okay too. A warm arm around someone can brighten their day. Not all of us are Julia Child, Carrot Top (...), or Bob Ross. But most of us do have something we're good at. Whatever it is, use it to cheer up your friend. Can you cook a mean lasagna? Fantastic -- it's dinner time somewhere. Can you reel off jokes like word play is a skill taught in kindergarten? Can you paint a mean shed on the side of an ethereal-looking mountain? Great. These skills can also be happy-making skills. Use your creativity and finesse to tackle their blues. Sing them a song at the top of your lungs. Take them along on a hike. Force your kitten on them. What's in your tool belt of skills? Employ them. Look on the sunny side of life. Focus on the half-full, not the half-empty. Being optimistic is a mindset, and it can be infectious if used in the right way. Be on the lookout for interesting, exciting, or uplifting opportunities that your friend might have overlooked while they were busy being pessimistic. There's almost always a silver lining to a problem. We sometimes don't want to look at it, but it's usually there. Here are a few ways to think about some common problems in a more positive manner: My partner/significant other broke up with me. "Don't worry about someone who doesn't value you completely as a person. If s/he doesn't get how special you are, they probably don't deserve you. There are plenty of other eligible people out there who will." Someone in my family/social circle died. "Death is natural by-product of life. While you can't bring the person back, you can celebrate how much they affected your life, and perhaps how much you changed theirs. Be grateful for the time you did get to spend with them." I lost my job. "Your job is an important reflection of who you are, but it's not the whole picture. Think of the lessons you learned while at your job, and try to find ways to apply them to your next job in the future. Finding a job is all about working harder than everyone else. Be motivated to show employers how much more qualified you are than everyone else." I don't have confidence in myself. "You have so much to be confident about. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses; it's what makes us unique and beautiful. I like you just the way you are. I don't see any reason why you shouldn't have just as much confidence as the person next door." I don't know what's wrong, I just know I feel bad. "It's okay to feel blue. Our happy moments are made even brighter by the darker ones. Don't force it if you don't feel like it, but think of how lucky you are compared to other people. That always manages to help me." . If you are down in the dumps, how are you going to cheer up your friend? Strike a good balance between concerned you want them to know that you're not happy that they're not happy and optimistic being a happy-go-lucky, glass-half-full kind of person. It's a lot of work, and it can be emotionally grinding, but your friend is worth it, right? Help them out and do as much as you can for them, so they still know that someone cares. This builds trust. They know they can rely on you. Do this, always, with a smile. Offer to take their mind off of it with an activity, like going to the movies, going on a hike, swimming, or gaming. If they don't want to be distracted, don't pester them about it: You can't help people who don't want to help themselves. Stay happy, stay dedicated, and stay available until they want to sort things out or forget about it. There are some people in the world who will benefit more from a day of sadness than others -- to those, it offers time for reflection, self-analysis, and refueling. Your friend may just need a bit to gather their woes and get back at it. If s/he requests this, respect it. It's not your duty to fix them. In time, they'll fix themselves. And yet there are times when people should be sad. It's not logical to expect a girl whose father died three months ago to all of a sudden snap out of it. Each person is different and their timeline of grief is as unique to them as their fingerprints. If they're still grieving from an event, the only thing you can do is stay by their side. That speaks for itself.
