In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To draw a heart on your nail with a toothpick, all you’ll need is a base coat, a nail polish in your preferred color, red nail polish, a piece of paper or foil, a toothpick and a top coat.  Avoid using a quick dry polish – this will get sticky too fast. Try juxtaposing your red heart against a baby blue polish or changing out the red polish for gold glitter polish. If you don’t have a toothpick, try substituting a bobby pin.
Summary: Gather your supplies.

People often reach for multi-symptom cold medications even when pain (like from a sore throat) is the primary complaint.  If pain is your main symptom, then a dedicated pain reliever is probably your best option.  Pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can be quite effective in dealing with a sore throat and other pain associated with a cold.  Always follow the recommended dosing instructions.  Take special care if you are also taking a cold medication with a pain reliever, as it can be easy to exceed the recommended daily dose that way. Aspirin may also be effective, but it can lead to bleeding problems, so talk to your doctor particularly if you are taking blood thinners or have bleeding issues.  Children under age 19 should never take aspirin because of the risk of developing Reye's syndrome. Find an over-the-counter (OTC) cough suppressant or nasal decongestant (or combination), especially if your cough or stuffy nose is keeping you awake at night. Take it according to package directions until the symptoms go away.  Some people contend that honey (by the spoonful or in tea) is just as effective a cough suppressant as any OTC variety.  It can’t hurt to try it. Don't use cough suppressants or decongestants for more than three days, or your symptoms may return in a more severe form. Children under five should not use any OTC cold remedies without a doctor’s supervision. Remember, antibiotics treat infections, and therefore are useless against viruses like the common cold. Research into the cold-taming effectiveness of vitamin C is confusing and often contradictory.  Some people swear by it, while others think its use is worthless.  By and large, however, taking vitamin C to combat a cold is at worst unlikely to do harm.  There is some limited evidence that vitamin C may help reduce the length of the average cold by up to one day, if it is taken regularly for a long period of time (not just when you are sick).  Some claim that high doses of vitamin C can cut short an existing cold, but the evidence is lacking; however, you are very unlikely to cause any harm by taking large doses of vitamin C. Those who espouse high-dose vitamin C will tell you to choose a full fruit juice or supplement with at least 200 mg. Like vitamin C, there is a great deal of conflicting information on the benefits or using zinc supplements to fight a cold.  Unlike vitamin C, however, there is a danger in taking too much zinc.  When taken within recommended limits, it is generally safe and possibly effective in curtailing a cold.  Taking more than 50 mg of zinc daily for any extended period of time can be harmful to your health, and there have been reports that zinc nasal sprays can cause permanent damage to one's sense of smell. With those concerns in mind, using zinc syrup or zinc acetate lozenges every three to four hours during the first 24 hours of your cold (adding up to 50 mg per day), may possibly reduce the time you are sick by a day.  Some medical experts see these claims as wildly overblown, however. The benefits of other traditional remedies, such as echinacea, ginseng, and selenium are unclear, but may be worth a try in moderation.  Selenium in particular should be taken according to recommended guidelines, because it can be detrimental in high doses.  Taking 300 mg of echinacea three times per day may help you to ward off colds, according to some studies; however, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a ragweed allergy, or have an autoimmune disease, you should consult a doctor first. Taking up to 400 mg of ginseng daily, or a daily garlic supplement, may also give you an immune system boost to help ward off colds.  Both these options, however, may interfere with a wide range of prescription medications, so check with your doctor first or ask your pharmacist to run an interaction check with your current medications. Eating probiotic foods may also improve your immune system response, although again the research is unclear. While yogurt and cheese may not the best sources while you have mucus, consider trying sauerkraut, miso soup, sourdough bread, kombucha, and tempeh. Healthy bacteria in your gut may possibly reduce the time of infection.

Problem: Article: No one expects you to immediately understand all the elements of a new job right away, but they may be too busy to realize that you need help.  Don’t be embarrassed to ask someone to explain something to you; not only does it demonstrate that you care about the work you are doing, but it might even make the person you ask like you more.  It’s better to ask for help than to do something the wrong way.  Save you and your coworkers time by asking for clarification and doing things right the first time. Benjamin Franklin famously won over people that didn’t like him by asking for favors.  Asking for a favor can pacify someone that sees you as a rival and make them see you in a more positive light. You may find yourself without much to do on your first day at work.  After filling out human resources documents and completing orientation there may be time leftover that your supervisor or manager hasn’t accounted for.  Don’t let that time, or any time in your new job, go to waste.  Volunteer to help others with things so you can learn about the job and get to know your coworkers. Be proactive and complete tasks you know you will be asked to complete later. Be comfortable with the idea of doing things that might make you uncomfortable.  Doing new things is the only way to get good at them. Demonstrating an understanding of what the company does and how it works on your first day shows that you are well prepared and care about the job.  Research the company you will be working for and read about their operations and policies on their website if you can.  Look for the company in the news to see if there are any developing or recent stories that involve the company. Peruse press releases the company posts on its website. Shining a spotlight on the help others have provided or the hard work they’ve done goes far to demonstrate your confidence and that you are a team player.  If someone goes out of their way to assist you, mention it to the group or your supervisor in conversation.  Pointing out the achievements of others may strengthen your relationship with them. Demonstrating that you are willing to share the spotlight shows your employers and coworkers that you aren’t selfish. Now that you have established yourself as a valuable new member of your team, it's up to you to live up to the expectations that you've set for yourself.  Keep up your good habits to establish a long lasting impression as a team player and asset to the organization.  Be a hard worker, but be modest about your successes and achievements. Demonstrate a willingness to help others and be a part of the team. Be honest about mistakes and upbeat about every situation. Be ambitious and action oriented; don't be afraid to try new things.
Summary:
Ask for help. Take initiative. Know the company. Share the spotlight. Develop your first impression into a lasting impression.
