INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Each player will have a short amount of time to make a word. If you successfully make a word within the time limit, the tiles will display the word "Next." If you don't make a word, the tiles will display the word "Out," which means that you have been eliminated from the game. After “next” or “out” appears on the screen, a new set of 5 letters will be displayed. The next player must make a 5-letter word from those letters within the time limit and pass the tiles along. As the game progresses, the amount of time to recognize and make a 5-letter word will grow shorter. Keep passing the tiles until all but one player has been eliminated from the game. The last player left is the winner!

SUMMARY: Have the first player arrange the tiles to make a 5-letter word. Pass the tiles to the next player. Continue playing until only one player remains.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: People become addicted because they are self-medicating. Then they are held within the cycle of addiction because of the withdrawal symptoms from the drug.The way to become drug free is to first confront the physical addiction through going to a clinic where you can participate in a program to help with the withdrawal symptoms, which at times can be life-threatening, and then addressing the emotional issues that lead to the decision to use addicting drugs to mask the emotional pain.  People who use drugs are not “bad” or “immoral” people. People who use drugs often cannot simply “knock it off.” Drug addictions change your brain in ways that make it difficult -- but not impossible -- to quit. If you have used drugs before, be cognizant of the triggers that are associated with your using drugs. This could include drug paraphernalia, a group of friends, a certain location, or even a certain song that you used to listen to when you did drugs.  If there are certain triggers that you know may cause a problem and lead to drug use, throw them away. Delete that song from your ipod or throw out those rolling papers; if your triggers are permanently gone you will be less likely to use drugs. You may also need to not go to places you used to go when you used drugs. Staying away may be difficult, but it will help you kick your drug use. Support is key not only to staying off of drugs, but to getting off them. If you are struggling to live a drug free life, a support group may be helpful. To find one, talk to your doctor, counselor or other healthcare provider, check your phone book for a list of local support groups, consult with your religious or secular community groups, or speak with local or national groups who are devoted to helping people get past addictions. ” Urge surfing is a mindfulness exercise that acknowledges your craving and helps you “ride it out” until it goes away. Imagine you are a surfer riding your craving like a wave until it breaks and becomes soft and small and easy to handle. Urge surfing is more effective than trying to ignore or repress a craving.  Remind yourself that this probably is not the first time you have experienced the urge to do drugs. Has that urge passed before? The answer is almost certainly yes. Remind yourself that it will pass this time too. The urge exists, but you do not have to act on it.  Notice the thoughts and sensations that you experience during the urge. For example, you might feel a strong feeling that you want to use your drug of choice. You might feel sweaty or itchy, or feel restless. Acknowledge these as existing. Remind yourself that they are just thoughts; they do not truly have power over you.  Focus on deep breathing as you surf your urges. Breathe slowly and evenly, in and out. This will help keep your attention on the present moment rather than focusing on your craving. If you feel a very strong urge to use drugs, delay by telling yourself you will make yourself wait 10 minutes. Just 10, that's all. You can do that. When that 10 minutes is up, if the urge is still strong, tell yourself you'll wait another 10 minutes. Keep delaying until the urge passes. It will, given enough time.

SUMMARY: Understand why people use drugs. Know your triggers. Join a community or family-based recovery support system. Try “urge surfing. Tell yourself you'll wait 10 minutes.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy can be very frightening. If you are experiencing these symptoms and are feeling really overwhelmed or panicked, take a few moments to breathe deeply. Remind yourself that it's okay to feel scared or upset, and that what you are experiencing now will pass. The best thing you can do is get to the doctor as soon as possible so that they can figure out what is going on and give you appropriate treatment. If you suspect an ectopic pregnancy, whether or not you've already had a positive pregnancy test, get to a doctor or emergency room as soon as possible. An ectopic pregnancy can become life-threatening quickly if left untreated. Your doctor will have a better chance of diagnosing you correctly if you can give them a clear description of your symptoms. Let them know how long you have had the symptoms and whether they appeared gradually or suddenly. Provide as many details as possible. For example, if you are experiencing pain, describe the location, type, and intensity of the pain. You might say, “I got a sudden, sharp pain in my pelvis about an hour ago, and it hasn't gone away.” In addition to asking about your current symptoms, the doctor may want to know details about your overall health and any recent history that might be related to your symptoms. They may ask about:  The date of your last period. Whether your last period was unusual in any way. Any previous pregnancies. Whether you are sexually active or trying to conceive. What type(s) of birth control you are using, if any. Whether you have had in vitro fertilization. Your previous history of serious health conditions, if any. Any medications you are currently taking. A pelvic exam is usually the first step in diagnosing an ectopic pregnancy. Your doctor will check for any particular areas of pain or tenderness and feel for obvious masses. At the same time, they will check to see if there are any other visible causes of your symptoms. While your doctor will not be able to definitively diagnose an ectopic pregnancy based on a pelvic exam alone, this exam can help narrow down the most likely causes of your symptoms. If your doctor suspects an ectopic pregnancy based on the pelvic exam, they may wish to run lab tests to check your hCG and progesterone (pregnancy hormone) levels. Unusual pregnancy hormone levels can be a good indicator of ectopic pregnancy. Your doctor may draw some blood or ask you to provide a urine sample for testing. If your doctor suspects an ectopic pregnancy, they will probably recommend an immediate vaginal ultrasound. Your doctor or an ultrasound technician will insert a small device into your vagina to perform the ultrasound and look for evidence of an ectopic pregnancy.  Occasionally, it may be too early for an ectopic pregnancy to show on an ultrasound. If this is the case, your doctor may monitor your condition and repeat the ultrasound at a later date. An ectopic pregnancy is usually clearly visible on an ultrasound by 4-5 weeks after the date of conception. In some cases, your doctor may wish to perform a culdocentesis. This test can help determine whether you have a ruptured fallopian tube. In culdocentesis, a needle is inserted into the top of the vagina to check for the presence of blood behind the uterus and above the rectum. If your symptoms are severe enough (e.g., if you are bleeding heavily), your emergency medical team may decide there is no time for diagnostic testing. In these situations, the best option may be emergency surgery to locate and treat the source of the problem as quickly as possible.

SUMMARY:
Try to stay calm. Seek medical attention immediately. Describe your symptoms. Tell your doctor about your health history. Let your doctor do a pelvic exam. Give blood or urine samples, if needed. Get an ultrasound. Have a culdocentesis done, if necessary. Consent to exploratory surgery if your condition is life-threatening.
