Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Add it to stews or soups. Pair it with pasta or shellfish dishes.

Answer: Instead of using common vegetables, for example carrots or peas, use edamame beans as a substitution. It's a great addition in slow cooker soups as well. If you're planning to have shrimp scampi or a very light pasta dish with seasonal vegetables, sprinkle some beans as a nice crunchy topping.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Protect games from damage so they are worth more. Trade in games and devices that are still useable. Select in-demand games to earn more credit. Hold onto older games until they increase in value. Pay a fee to recondition damaged games you wish to trade.

Answer: Store games in cases when they are not in use. Preferably, keep them in their original packaging along with anything that came with them. Scratches are one of the easiest ways to lose value on your trade-ins. Preserve your games to keep them looking like they did on the day you bought them.  For example, keep game discs inside a case. Save the original case, instruction booklet, or anything else you received with the game when purchasing it. Wipe them clean before trading them in. For consoles and other items, keep them in the original packaging along with any accessories that came with them. Clean them off before attempting to trade them in. Gamestop accepts video games, consoles, accessories, and even devices like iPods, iPads, and smartphones. These products have to be in working order. Store employees test trade-in items before accepting them. Just like how you wouldn't want to pay for something that doesn't work, you won't get credit for broken things.  If you wish to get the full value for your items, they must be in working condition. Gamestop stores have machines they use to test things like controllers. Expect store associates to even plug in consoles and controllers for a test. The exception is retro games and consoles. Most stores don’t have the proper equipment to plug in something like a Sega Genesis and may just accept it for trade-in if it looks like it’s in working order. If your games or devices aren’t in full working condition, they may still be eligible for some credit. This is because Gamestop refurbishes some products for resale. You won’t be able to trade in something that is completely broken, however. The most valuable products are ones that are either rare or popular. Many modern games are most valuable when they are new because more people are buying them. Unless games belong to a popular series, they will decrease in value the longer you wait to trade them in. If you’re trading devices like smartphones, expect them to go down in value as well due to people transitioning to newer, more efficient models.  Movie tie-in and sports games lose value quickly over time. For example, few people want Madden 16 for the PS3 when Madden 20 for the PS4 is available. Some franchises are always popular. Anything related to Mario, Pokemon, or Zelda, for example, usually has decent trade-in value. Some games become more valuable as they reach “retro” status. Gamestop accepts trade-ins for old games and systems, including the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Nintendo 64 (N64), and many other classics. These items are no longer in production, so working copies become more valuable over time. If you happen to have something relatively uncommon, then it will be worth even more.  Be sure to check Gamestop’s website to see if any older games are eligible for special trade-in details. It’s possible that more recent items can reach retro status in the future. For example, the Playstation 2 (PS2) and its games are no longer in production, so they may become more valuable over time. If you have a game or device that can be fixed, you may still be able to trade it in. Gamestop may offer to refurbish the game for you. However, they take a small fee, usually $1 to $5, off of the trade-in value. It reduces the amount of credit you get, so determine if the trade is worth completing.  If an item isn’t too damaged, Gamestop can fix it and sell it as refurbished. Game discs, for instance, can often be refinished to eliminate scratches. Don’t expect to walk in with a couple of broken discs and get a few new releases in return. Even with extra promotions, damaged discs may barely give you enough credit to get a single used game.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cut contact with him completely if he rejects you or is unavailable. Talk with a trusted friend or family member about your feelings. Write about how you’re feeling if you need an additional outlet. Stay busy with other activities to distract yourself. Devote extra time to taking care of your needs. Find a therapist

Answer: You’ll need time to process your feelings if he rejects you or if a relationship with him is not possible, such as if he’s already with someone else. Don’t call him, text him, or interact with him in any way for a while so you can work through your feelings. It can be hard to do this, especially if you’re close, but remember that it is what’s best for you.  If he calls you, try letting it go to voicemail or have a friend answer and tell him you’re busy. If he asks why you’re not taking his calls any more or texting him, try saying something like, “I’ve just had a lot going on lately.” Venting to someone about how you feel and why things didn’t work out can be a great way to feel better. Choose a friend or family member who is a good listener and who cares about you. Tell them all about your crush and why it didn’t work out.

Make sure to talk with someone who will keep what you say confidential, especially if the guy friend is already in a relationship.

Write about what happened and how it made you feel. Write as much or as often as needed until you feel better. Another option is to write about traits you liked about your guy friend, which might help you to find someone else you’ll click with when you're ready to start looking again. For example, if you like his smile and sense of humor, these can be important features to look for in the next person you date. If your emotions are overwhelming, then fill your days with lots of things to pre-occupy your mind. Make plans with your friends, learn a new hobby, exercise, read, visit a museum, volunteer for a local charity, or do something else that will keep you busy and make you feel good about yourself. If you’re in school, devote extra time to studying. If you work, ask your boss about any special projects you could get involved in.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash your hands. Look to see if it has stopped bleeding. Apply pressure if it doesn't stop bleeding. Elevate the wound.

Answer:
Before working on someone, it's important to wash your hands if possible. That way, you won't introduce infection to the wound. Also, put on medical gloves if they are available.  Gloves will protect both you and the person you're caring for from bloodborne illnesses including HIV and viral hepatitis. If gloves are not available, substitute plastic bags or some other impermeable material. You can also use many layers of clean cloth or another clean material. In this case, instead of putting pressure on the wound yourself, ask the injured person to to do so. Only use your bare hands if it is a serious, dire medical emergency. Don't risk your health!   Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds in warm water with soap. Scrub them thoroughly. If soap and water are not available, an alcohol-based sanitizer can be used instead. A minor cut by definition should stop bleeding on its own fairly quickly. The body's response is to clot the wound, and with a small cut, it should stop bleeding fairly quickly.  Often abdominal and chest wounds are more serious than they look. You should always have these checked out by a professional. Mild bleeding can be a serious situation if the person is on a blood thinner, or it is a puncture wound. Mild bleeding should only affect the top layers of the skin. You should not be able to see organs underneath, for instance, and the wound should not be gushing or have a pulsating flow — these things indicate a medical emergency and you should call 991 immediately. Mild cuts should "ooze," meaning bleed slowly. If it hasn't stopped bleeding in a minute or two, apply pressure to the wound. Place a clean cloth or sterile bandage over the cut. Hold it in place with your hand, applying steady and light pressure for a full 15 minutes. If the bandage soaks through, do not lift it up. Instead, apply an additional bandage on top of the first. Again, if you do not have gloves or some type of protective barrier on your hands, ask the person to apply pressure to her wound by holding the bandaging in place. If it still doesn't stop, try elevating the wound. Elevating the wound just means to get it above the person's heart. That way, blood has to travel against gravity to get to the wound. This lessens the amount of blood at the site, making it easier for the body to stop the bleeding.  If you think the person may have a broken bone near the cut, you don't want to move that part of the body, as it can make the fracture and surrounding structure worse. You may need to skip this step if you think that's a possibility. If it simply won't stop bleeding, even if it's minor, call 911 or visit an emergency room.
