INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Fever, muscle aches, nausea and diarrhea are all common symptoms of listeriosis. In more severe cases, the infection may spread to your nervous system, leading to a stiff neck, a headache, loss of balance, convulsions, and/or an altered level of consciousness.  If you notice any of these more severe signs that indicate a possible spread to your nervous system, seek medical help immediately. When Listeria infects the nervous system, it could be meningitis (which simply means an infection of the central nervous system, specifically of the meninges) which always requires emergency medical care. If you have only the basic symptoms of fever, muscle aches, nausea, and/or diarrhea, you can most likely recover without the help of a physician — unless you are in the high-risk category (e.g. pregnant women, very young or very old, immunocompromised), in which case you must seek prompt medical attention. If you do not fall into any of the high-risk categories and appear to have only a mild listeriosis infection (which is the case for the vast majority of people), your doctor will likely advise that you rest and allow your immune system to naturally fight off the infection. It should resolve itself within a few days time, as your body fights it off just like it would any other mild infection. As with all infections, taking it easy and getting plenty of rest gives your body the best chance to recover quickly and without complications. Resting, and staying home from work or school, allows your body to devote all of its energy to healing (and when your immune system works to fight off an infection it takes more energy than you might expect!) Fighting off an infection also predisposes you to becoming dehydrated, so drinking plenty of fluids is key. Water and/or electrolyte beverages (such as Gatorade or other sports drinks) are best. Electrolyte beverages can help to increase your hydration because the salt content helps your body to readily absorb more water. Consuming vitamin C may also help to boost your immune system when you are sick. Echinacea tablets or teas and zinc may also help as natural ways to boost your immune system; however, neither have been validated in official medical trials.

SUMMARY: Recognize the signs and symptoms of a Listeria infection. Allow your immune system to combat the infection naturally. Get plenty of rest. Drink plenty of fluids. Boost your immune system.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you are installing a garbage disposal of the same brand then you could keep the mounting bracket on the sink drain rather than removing it. The rubber seal will usually come with your new disposal. You can simply wrap it around the flange and then put the drain flange in the drain hole. You will need to use putty if your disposal does not include a rubber seal. Turn the disposal upside down and shake it to remove anything inside. Remove the electrical plate and pull the wires away from the disposal. Screw the strain relief sleeve into place and feed the electrical wires through it into the disposal. If you are connecting the disposal to a dishwasher, then you must remove the knock out plug using a hammer and screwdriver. On many disposals you will connect the ground wire to the green screw on the disposal, and then splice the white wires to white wires and black to black. Secure the connections with wire nuts and tighten the strain relief sleeve. Replace the cover plate on the disposal. You will attach a 90-degree disposal drainpipe to the disposal and the tailpiece to the other sink drain. There should be p-traps on both the disposal and the tailpiece from the other sink and they should be level to one another. Use straight pipes and a T-fitting to connect both drains into one line and route the drainpipes into the main drain.  Dry fit the pieces together at first. Connect the pipes using PVC glue on both the outside of the pipe and inside of the fitting. PVC glue will melt the material a little to give a strong weld. If you are running the drain from a dishwasher through the disposal then you must connect the pipe to the disposal at the spot where you knocked out a plug previously. Turn on the sink and let water run through the pipes for several minutes to make sure nothing is leaking. This can prevent many problems in the future with leaks so make sure you test your pipes.
Summary: Use this method if you have removed your garbage disposal and want to replace it with a newly purchased garbage disposal. Place a rubber seal on the underside of the drain flange. Prepare the new disposal. Connect the electrical wires. Attach the pipes. Connect the dishwasher drain line. Turn on the sink to let water through.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: . Communicating in an honest, straightforward manner will help your confidence in any given situation. Assertive communication helps ensure that everyone’s rights (the speaker and listener) are protected. It also ensures that everyone enters into the conversation with an understanding of cooperation. This also means that everyone’s opinions are considered when working out a solution.  For example, if you want to act confident during an interview, you could take the interview as an opportunity to see how your work experience and knowledge is going to contribute to fulfilling the company’s needs. You could say, “From what you’ve told me, one of the skills you are looking for is in helping to expand upon existing client’s usage of intermodal rail services. In my position at ABC Transport, I was able to help three major national clients expand their use of intermodal rail services, bringing in an extra one million dollars for the company. I would love to do the same, if not more, for XYZ Intermodal.” You will seem confident to your future employer because you have conveyed your past accomplishments in a way that is factual rather than boastful. Moreover, you are conveying your enthusiasm for becoming one of the team. When you need to make a decision, don’t waffle over the options. Be decisive and firm, and stand by your decision.  This can be something minor, such as deciding which restaurant you’ll go to for dinner. Don’t overthink this decision. Decide on a restaurant and have fun. If the decision is a large one, such as accepting a new job, you can take more time to weigh the pros and cons of the decision’s outcomes. Just make sure that you are not hemming and hawing too much. Channel any nervous energy you’ve got into something productive. Shift your focus onto working hard. Confident people are not afraid to look towards improvement, because what they do does not affect their own self-opinion. They know that they are always going to do their best in any given situation, so they will act confident even if mistakes happen. Confident people don’t give up easily in situations. Rather, they keep going until they have found a solution or a way to succeed. If you want to act with confidence, don’t cave in when you are confronted with a challenge.

SUMMARY:
Communicate assertively Make assertive decisions. Work hard. Don’t give up easily.
