In general, viral infections are milder than bacterial infections, but they tend to last longer. You will feel very sick for 1 to 3 days and then you will start to feel better, but some of your symptoms may linger. Symptoms that linger for a week or more may be a virus. It's important to stay vigilant and talk to your doctor about antibiotics if symptoms last for a while. Viruses can morph into things like sinus infections or increase the risk of middle ear infections, which may result in you developing a bacterial infection as well. When you blow your nose or cough up mucus, pay attention to the color. While it may feel a little gross, color can be an indicator of whether you have a viral or bacterial infection. Thin and clear mucus is more likely to be a viral infection. Dark, greenish mucus is more likely to be a bacterial infection. However, mucus color is not a 100% accurate indicator of whether you have a viral or bacterial infection. Make sure to weigh in other factors. A sore throat is common for both viral and bacterial infections. Checking for a sore throat is the most common test that will be performed in your doctor's office to determine if you need antibiotics right away. Certain types of sore throats can indicate a bacterial infection. For example, white spots are generally caused by bacteria. A sore throat without other symptoms, such as a runny nose or sneezing, may be a bacterial infection such as strep throat. Fevers can be present in both viral and bacterial infections. However, fevers differ slightly with different types of infections. In bacterial infections, fevers tend to be higher. With a bacterial infection, fevers get worse after a few days while they tend to improve a few days in with a viral infection. The normal human body temperature runs between 97.8 F (36.5C) and 99F (37.2C).

Q: When meeting a royal person, it's important you offer a bow or a curtsy. This is considered a formality, especially when meeting a member of the British royal family. If you're male, you should do a neck bow. This simply means bowing by nodding your head. If you're female, do a small curtsy. This means dipping your body downward slightly by bending your knees. These are among the highest ranking types of royalty, so be sure to address them properly. Emperors, kings, and queens should all be addressed differently. When referring to an emperor, you would refer to him or her as "His/Her Imperial Majesty, Emperor of (Name of Country)"; when addressing one, replace "His/Her" with "Your". When referring to a king, say, "His Majesty, the King." When addressing a queen, say, "Your Majesty, my Queen." As these are generally the second highest ranking royals, be sure to address them properly. Princes and princesses must be addressed differently. For a prince, say, "His Royal Highness, Prince of (Name of Country)." For a princess, say, "Her Royal Highness, Princess of (Name of Country)." There are also formal titles required here. When meeting a duke or a duchess, a formal greeting is necessary. For a duke, say, "His Grace, the Duke of (Name of Country)." For a duchess, say, "Her Grace, the Duchess of (Name of Country)." There are various other forms of lower ranking royalty, such as barons, knights, marquees, earls, and countesses. There are proper titles for these people as well that must be used when you address them. Some titles are simple. For example, a knight is simply addressed as "Sir" followed by his name, and a knight's wife is addressed as "Lady," followed by her name. The same is true for baronets and their wives. Royal people that fall between knights and baronets and positions like king and queen are usually addressed as, "The Right Honorable," followed by their name. A marquee, for examples, would be addressed as "The Right Honorable."
A: Give a head bow or a curtsy. Choose the proper greeting for emperors, kings, and queens. Call princes and princesses by the proper title. Select the right term for dukes and duchesses. Make sure you know the proper titles for lower ranking royalty.

Article: Write this word on a slip of paper and slip it into an envelope. Put the envelope in your pocket. Note that this is the most important part of the trick. Without carrying out this step, you will not be able to perform the trick. Give one the dictionary, and the other a calculator. The only stipulation is that no two digits can repeat. For example, he or she might choose the number 365. The digits must be different - you cannot have a number like 222. 563). Then, ask them to take away the bigger number from the smaller number (e.g. 563- 365= 198) Finally, ask them to reverse that number (e.g. 891). In our example, 198+891= 1,089. The result will always be 1,089 no matter what number you choose in the first place. These will always be 108. Ask the volunteer with the dictionary to turn to page 108. This will always be 9. Stare at the volunteer and make a show as if you are reading their mind, then, when you think you are ready, pull out the envelope and reveal the strip of paper. The audience will be astonished as you show the same word as the volunteer called out!
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Look up the 9th word on page 108 in your dictionary before doing this trick. Ask for two volunteers when you arrive at the show. Ask the volunteer with the calculator to pick any three digit number. Ask them to reverse the number (e.g. Ask them to add the last two number together. Now ask them what the first three digits of the number are. Now ask the other volunteer what the last digit of the number was. Ask the volunteer with dictionary to stare at the ninth word down.
