Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Listen and offer support with open arms. Keep the news to yourself. Ask how you can help. Refrain from judging or saying "I told you so.

Answer: Let your friend know that you are willing to listen if she needs to talk. However, if your friend says she needs some time to process things on her own first, then do not pressure her to talk. Give her time and just remind her that you are there for her if she want to talk. Try saying something like, "I know you must be overwhelmed right now, but I am here for you and I am willing to listen if you ever need to talk." If your friend has confided in you that she is pregnant, do not tell anyone without her permission. This is her news to share or not share, and telling people about your friend's pregnancy could cause problems for her. If you are worried because your friend has not sought help for her pregnancy, then you should talk to her about how you feel. For example, you might say, "I know this is overwhelming for you, but I am concerned about your health and well-being as well. I think you need to see a doctor, no matter what you plan to do about the pregnancy." Your friend will need to decide what she wants to do about her pregnancy. It is her decision if she wants to keep the baby, put the baby up for adoption, or have an abortion. Do not try to sway her towards one decision or another, just ask her what you can do to help. For example, your friend might need someone to drive her to a clinic, help her find an obstetrician, or choose an adoption agency. To determine what she needs, you might simply say something like, "I am here for you. What can I do to help? " Lecturing your friend or giving unsolicited advice is not going to help her. Do your best to avoid telling her what you think she should do, what you would do, or what you think is the best solution. Unless she asks you for advice, do not give her advice. Instead of judging, ask her how she is feeling. She may be sick from morning sickness or emotional from keeping the secret. Let her tell you how she feels instead of you telling her how to feel. Assure your friend that you still love her and this does not change your friendship. She is probably scared and needs to know things will be OK. Stress is hard on the baby so she needs to be supported to feel positive. It is OK to talk about the baby if she is going to raise the baby, it can be exciting to prepare for a baby.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Research living options online. Take a short trip overseas to find a living space if you can budget for it.

Hire a relocation company if you have a lot to transport overseas. Pack the boxes securely with bubble wrap and tape. Pack the items you will need right away in your travel suitcases.

Answer: Get a sense of the apartments, condos, and homes available in the neighborhood you will be working in overseas.

Online classified ads for location you are moving too may also yield good living options. The best way to find somewhere to live in your new overseas home is to visit before your move.

Pare down your belongings as much as possible before leaving. Sell furniture, heavy possessions, or unnecessary items through online classified ads, social media listings, or within your own social circle. If you opt to take furniture, appliances, and other belongings with you, hire a relocation company. A relocation agent can take care of the scheduling and paperwork for this transport, which is usually done through sea containers. Ask your relocation agent how you should pack your boxes to optimize the transport and prevent issues, such as damage or customs delays. If you choose to handle this alone, you will have to handle customs declarations, insurance coverage, port documents, packing details, and other legal considerations on your own. The boxes you pack your belongings in should be secure enough to protect their contents during their voyage. Use thick cardboard boxes that are assembled with strong packing tape. Cover your items with bubble wrap before packing them. Add extra layers of bubble wrap around breakable items like lamps or dishes. When you actually move overseas, keep the things that you need immediately in your suitcase. These items should include clothing, shoes, toiletries, and medications. You should also be sure to have your wallet, cell phone, identification cards, and important travel documents with you.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Play fetch. Throw a Frisbee. Play with water. Practice nose work with your dog. Get your dog to chase you. Blow pet-safe bubbles for your dog. Work on scent tracking.

Answer:
One of the most classic games you can play with your dog outside is fetch. Traditionally, you'd throw a ball or a stick you found outside for your dog to retrieve and bring back to you. You can, however, vary how you play fetch to keep it interesting for your dog. For instance, try bringing some other toys with you, like a toy bone or stuffed animal, and throw these for your dog to retrieve. Also, vary the height, direction, and length at which you throw while you're playing fetch with your dog. This will help keep it interested in the game. While you are playing, work on your dog's obedience training. Focus on training your dog to learn commands like "come," "drop it," "lie down," and "release." Playing Frisbee with your dog is a bit different than playing fetch. The Frisbee hangs in the air after you throw it, giving your dog an extra challenge in trying to catch it before it hits the ground. Once it catches the Frisbee, have your dog return it to you so you can throw it again. You can buy Frisbees in varying degrees of toughness, depending how aggressive your dog is when playing this game. If your dog is rather gently with the Frisbee, a soft Frisbee will be fine, but if your dog is tough on Frisbees, get one that is more durable. Generally, dogs love water and yours will probably enjoy playing or swimming in it while it is outside. Try setting up sprinklers for your dog to run through in your back yard. If your dog can swim, take it to the beach or lake to play in the water. You can also use a pet life jacket to make sure your dog stays afloat. Make sure you have a towel handy to dry your dog off before it comes inside the house or gets into your car. Nose work is a scent detection activity used by professionally-trained K9 dogs that work with police. You can teach your dog to do it by first practicing inside by hiding a toy or food in an enclosed room. Don't interrupt or try to help them; let them find it on their own, then reward themselves by eating the treat or playing with the toy. Keep training them for 3 months to a year before introducing a "target odor"--a specific scent for an object you want them to find. When your dog gets skilled at this, you can start taking them outside for a fun hide-and-seek scent game.

To do this, mimic another dog and bend down in front of your dog, putting your hands on the ground. Then take off in one direction. Your dog will likely catch on and chase you. Vary the patterns in which you move, making it more challenging for your dog to catch you. Buy some pet-safe bubbles online or at your local pet store. You can blow some bubbles around your dog and allow them to chase after them, snapping at them with its mouth and bursting them with its nose or paws. It's important to get pet-safe bubbles, because regular bubbles will be toxic to your dog if ingested, as well as irritating to your dog's eyes or skin. Tie a string around one of your dog's favorite toyspreferably one it has just been chewing onand drag this toy along the ground in some type of pattern (like an "L" or "S" shape, for example). Hide the toy at the end of the trail under a big leaf, some sticks, or a pile of grass. Bring your dog to the beginning of the track and tell it to "find it." Your dog will love using its scent-tracking skills to locate the toy. If your dog is having trouble, try pointing to the ground or dragging your finger along the scent trail.
