Problem: Article: Your body requires rest to fight off an infection. People in your household infected with strep throat should definitely get adequate rest, but don't short your own sleep either. Getting enough sleep each night will help keep you strong and healthy. Consuming foods high in vitamins and nutrients can help strengthen your immune system. Eat a diet that includes plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, complex carbohydrates, and lean proteins. If you aren't feeling sick, this diet will help you stay that way. If you're not feeling well, it will help you recover. You should try to incorporate more vitamin C and D into your diet. Although there is no documented research that these vitamins prevent strep throat specifically, vitamin C and D enhance your immune function, which boosts your immune system and helps you fight bacteria that invade your body. If your immune system is strong, there is a chance that, when exposed to strep, you might make an army of antibodies against the strep sufficient to prevent you from infection instead getting sick. Despite this increased immunity, you should not expose yourself unnecessarily to the bacteria and should still follow all precautions. Good sources of vitamin C include citrus fruits, peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes. Other sources include kiwi, broccoli, strawberries, Brussels sprouts, and cantaloupe. Many beverages are also fortified with vitamin C. Fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel are good sources of vitamin D. Fortified milk and juices will also help boost your intake. You can also stimulate your body to synthesize vitamin D by going outside into the sunshine (just wear sunscreen). Zinc is an essential element for the cells in your immune system. In order to build up your immune system, you should ingest more zine every day. It will provide the cells in your immune system with much needed nutrients to function. Eat more zinc-rich foods, such as seafood, lean red meats, poultry, beans, and fortified breakfast cereals. You can also get a zinc supplement that you can take every day. Although getting enough zinc is good for you, getting too much zinc can actually impede your immune system. Try to aid for 15-25 mg a day. Make sure you do not overuse a supplement when you are getting plenty of zinc from your diet. Vitamin A helps boost the production of certain cells in your body that help boost your immune system. Vitamin A also helps fight infections. If you have a vitamin A deficiency, you are at an increased risk of getting an infections such as strep throat. Eat more vitamin A-rich foods, such as sweet potatoes, spinach, carrots, pumpkin, beef liver, cantaloupes, mangoes, black eyed peas, broccoli, and peppers. You can get multivitamins and supplements that have vitamin A in them as well. You should have 650 mg per day if you are an adult male and 580 mg per day if you are an adult female.
Summary: Rest. Eat a balanced diet. Consume more vitamin C and D. Get more zinc. Ingest more vitamin A.

Problem: Article: Once you have finished a draft of the story, read it aloud to yourself. Listen to how the language sounds. Make sure each scene feels important to the overall plot. Check that your characters come across as unique and memorable in the story, especially the detective. You can also read the story aloud to help catch any spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors. Get friends, family, and peers to read the detective story. Ask them if they found the story suspenseful and exciting. Find out if they thought the detective was an interesting character who was a credible problem solver. You can also ask if they found the plot twist surprising and effective in the story. Be open to constructive criticism from others and apply their feedback to make your story better. Once you have received feedback from others, revise the story line by line. Make sure the detective story stays short and does not go on for too many pages. Most short stories run between 1,000-7,500 words. Try to keep your detective story within this word count so it stays short. Check that the story is easy to read and follow from beginning to end. Make sure there are no awkward moments or unclear lines in the story. Reading the story aloud after you have revised it can help you check it for clarity. As part of the revision process, you can also title the story. Pick a title that will give the readers a sense of the mystery or crime. You can also use the detective as inspiration for the title. For example, you may choose a title like "Death in a Small Town" or "The Missing Girl." Titles like "Detective Brains and the Town" or "Brains and The Missing Girl" would also work.
Summary: Read the story aloud. Show the story to others. Revise the story for length. Adjust the story for clarity. Title the story.

Problem: Article: Cut the veneer to the size you want, making sure to leave as little overhang as possible. Any more than 1/4" overhang and you'll likely crack the veneer. Using a very short nap roller, roll the contact cement onto the area of the substrate that will be covered by a single panel of the veneer. Roll in one direction and then the other, just like you would a wall, in order to guarantee 100% coverage of the substrate surface. Go through the same motions to apply contact cement to the veneer, also making sure to get 100% coverage. There should not be any dry spots. Allow just enough time for the adhesive to dry slightly. It should feel perhaps somewhat tacky to the touch, but not be able to grab hold of a sheet of paper or the hairs of your arm. This is usually after 5-10 minutes. Place a sheet of wax or parchment paper on your substrate. This will go between the substrate and the veneer while you align the veneer, to help you get it as straight as possible without joining the pieces before they're ready. Line up the corners of the veneer and the substrate and get it into place. Then start to press it down so that the two glued sides touch, removing the paper as you go. Using your hand, smooth out the piece of veneer, starting from the center and moving out toward the edges. Apply firm pressure to ensure that full contact is made. Next, smooth it again using a flat tool like a putty knife or a carpet stair tool. Smooth it in one direction and then the other, just like you applies the adhesive. Do not use a tool like a roller, as this applies weak and uneven pressure. Trim the edges using a utility knife and then sand the edges using high grit sandpaper (180 to 220).
Summary: Cut your veneer to size. Apply contact cement to the substrate. Apply contact cement to the veneer. Allow for tack time. Place a sheet of wax paper. Align the veneer. Smooth out the piece. Trim the edges.

Problem: Article: There are some cases when winking can cause socially awkward situations or even get you in trouble. Be careful, in particular, about winking at the opposite sex. Winking at someone of the opposite sex is often assumed to be an act of flirting. If this isn't your intention, think twice about winking. You may be misunderstood, especially if the person you are winking at doesn't know you well. A misplaced wink can make people angry, especially if it might convey that you aren't taking them seriously or that you are being inappropriately sexual. Especially if you are in a position of authority, be careful about the situations you wink in.
Summary:
Know when not to wink.
