Article: There’s often little you can do or say that’s actually useful or helpful. Words are poor comforters. In many cases, the important part is just being there. Your physical presence and time is often most appreciated in difficult times. Try to give your time. Stay with the person and let them know you’re there for them and supporting them. You need not talk much, just your presence is enough, especially if the person feels there is no one for them. Usually, people tend to be afraid of crying in front of others because society judges crying as weakness. If the person starts crying in public, offer to go somewhere more private. This can help with any embarrassment they feel. Go to a bathroom, car, or empty room. Being somewhere private can help them feel safe and able to work through whatever emotions they feel.  If they seem uncomfortable, ask, “Would you like to go somewhere more private?” You can take them to a bathroom stall, car, private room, anywhere, but not in a place where there will be dozens of other people. If you're still young (school or college), don't take the person to a place where you're not supposed to go like a classroom where no one is having lessons. Also make sure you can find your way out. Don't want to get in trouble! If you have a tissue or know where to get one, offer to grab one for them. Crying leads to wet faces and wet noses, and offering a tissue is a sign that you want to help. If there are no tissues nearby, offer to get one for them.  You can say, “Would you like me to get you a tissue?” Sometimes, giving a tissue is a sign that you want them to stop crying immediately. Be careful how your actions may be perceived, especially when the person is very upset or dealing with death or a breakup.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Be there for them. Make sure they feel safe. Offer a tissue.

Problem: Article: This may sound obvious, but if your ultimate goal is to win an escape room, you should choose your team wisely. Send out an email or group message to people you know who have talked about escape rooms, enjoy games and puzzles, have a sense of humor, or generally work well with others.  Keep in mind that it’s better to go with acquaintances or coworkers who are excited about the idea and want to win than with your best friend who thinks the idea is sort of stupid or won’t play along well with the team. If you can’t organize a group to go, many escape room locations offer public bookings, where your teammates will be other individuals or pairs who are strangers. This can work well for a last-minute date idea or if you’re traveling. Each escape room has a limit for the number of people who can play the room. Call ahead of time to find out what the maximum capacities are for the escape room you’re going to, and plan to book your group at around 70-80% of that number. Filling the room to maximum capacity can cause you to run into a couple of problems, like physical crowdedness, not having enough things for everyone to work on, and trouble keeping everyone up to speed on progress. Some people are great at math puzzles, some enjoy visual puzzles or word games, and others are good at noticing small details or staying organized. It helps to know who can contribute what to the game ahead of time, so try to spend even just 10 minutes discussing what you think each of you will be best at during the game. When you get to the room, you can have a loose plan of what types of clues each person will try to focus on while you play. There are 2 main styles of escape rooms: Japanese style, which uses more observational clues in a large space with many objects, and Norwegian style, which is a mostly plain room centered on the puzzles themselves. If you have an option for room style, discuss with your team which they prefer and choose one that most team members will be happy with. Both styles are challenging, just in different ways. In Japanese style rooms, part of the challenge is finding clues in objects, and determining how they fit together. In Norwegian style rooms, the puzzles themselves tend to be more challenging.
Summary: Go with enthusiastic players. Resist the urge to play with the maximum number of people allowed. Discuss the personal strengths of your teammates ahead of time if you can. Choose a room that fits the interests of your teammates.

This test requires you to provide a stool sample so your doctor can test for small amounts of blood in your feces. Depending on which type of FOBT you undergo, you may need to avoid certain foods before getting the test. Your doctor can outline the details of the test and any steps you need to take before you provide a sample. Your sample will then be sent to a lab for testing and your doctor will receive the results of the test in a few weeks. For this exam, your doctor will exam your rectum and abdominal for any lumps. If they notice any lumps, they may perform a more detailed test like a sigmoidoscopy or a colonoscopy. You may find getting this test done a bit uncomfortable but your doctor should walk you through the exam and make you feel at ease. The DRE usually takes no longer than a few minutes to complete. This procedure uses a sigmoidoscope, a flexible tube with a lens, to look into your rectum and colon lining. The sigmoidoscope will need to be inserted into your anus, so your lower colon must be cleared of stool beforehand. You are not usually sedated when undergoing this procedure, though you can ask your doctor to do so if you’d prefer. A colonoscopy is done by inserting a colonoscope, a flexible tube with a lens, into your anus so your doctor can check your rectum and colon. Your doctor can also remove any abnormal growths in your colon, upper colon, or rectum for further testing.  You are usually under sedation during the colonoscopy to ensure you do not experience any pain or discomfort. Your doctor will recommend that you do a deep cleanse of your colon before the test. Make sure you prepare properly for the colonoscopy so it goes well. A virtual colonoscopy uses x-ray equipment and a CT scanner to take pictures of your colon and rectum form outside your body. This screening method may be a good option if you’d do not want have to have a standard colonoscopy or you cannot have one due to other health issues.  You will still need to do a thorough cleanse of your colon before the test for it to work. If any abnormal growths are found during the virtual colonoscopy, your doctor will have to perform a standard one to remove them. Some healthcare providers do not cover the cost of a virtual colonoscopy. Check with your insurance provider before you get this test done if you are worried about the cost. This screening option requires you to take an enema with a barium solution. The solution will help to outline your colon and rectum when you undergo an x-ray. This option is not as detailed as a colonoscopy but it can be ideal if you have medical issues that prevent you from having a colonoscopy.
