In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In general, the signs and symptoms of a throat infection include: pain, difficulty swallowing, red and swollen tonsils with patches of white pus streaks, swollen and tender lymph glands, fever, and rashes.  A person could have many of these symptoms and still not have strep throat because viruses can also have the same symptoms as bacterial infections. Be aware that it is still possible to have bacteria that cause strep without having a sore throat, which makes the person a “carrier.” Carriers have bacteria in their mouths, but it does not make them sick yet. They can unknowingly pass the bacteria to others through sharing utensils, cups, etc. The primary purpose of performing a throat culture is to determine whether a throat infection is viral or bacterial. The bacteria that cause strep throat, Streptococcus pyogenes (also known as group A Streptococcus) is highly contagious and are easily passed between people.  People are susceptible to the bacteria from airborne droplets from coughing and sneezing, shared food and drink, and even from surfaces such as door knobs and handles by transferring them from the surface to your skin, nose, mouth, or eyes. Strep throat can occur any time but most often in the late fall and early spring. Strep is most often seen in children between the ages of five and fifteen. Although strep is not generally considered dangerous, some more serious complications could occur even with treatment. The spread of infection to the sinuses, tonsils, skin, blood, or middle ear is perhaps the biggest concern.  Group A Streptococcus. This bacterium is responsible for many conditions, including scarlet fever, strep throat, or rheumatic fever.  Candida albicans. Candida albicans is a fungus, which can cause thrush, an infection appearing in the mouth and in the surface of the tongue. It sometimes can travel to the throat (or other locations), causing infection and can occur after treatment of strep throat.  Bacterial meningitis. Streptococcus pneumoniae and group B Streptococcus can cause meningitis, a serious and potentially deadly disease that causes inflammation in the brain. People can reduce the chances of getting meningitis by getting vaccinated. If bacteria are identified, you can perform a sensitivity or susceptibility test, which is a test that will show you what antibiotic will be more efficient against the pathogen.
Summary: Recognize the symptoms. Be familiar with the purpose of a throat culture. Understand possible complications.

Add cinnamon to taste.
Summary: Make chocolate chip tahini cookies. Try a brownie recipe. Thicken soups with tahini. Add tahini to smoothies.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Measure from the point where the mattress touches the box spring to the top of the mattress. Add 3 inches (7.6 cm) to that number. A 12-inch (30.5-cm) deep mattress will have a drop length of 15 inches (31 cm). Multiply the drop length by 2. A drop length of 15 inches (31 cm) gives you 30 inches (76. 2 cm). Add the sum to the width of the mattress. A 54-inch (137-cm) wide mattress results in 84 inches (213.4 cm). Multiply the drop length by 2. A drop length of 15 inches (31 cm) gives you 30 inches (76.2 cm). Add the sum to the mattress length. If your mattress is 75 inches (109.5 cm) long, your total is 105 inches (266.7 cm).
Summary:
Measure the length and width of your mattress. Calculate the drop length. Determine the comforter's width. Calculate the comforter's length.
