INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Try to use a fresh, ripe banana. You can also use a frozen banana instead for a thicker smoothie. Cutting the banana up first will give you a smoother drink in the end. Don't add the rest of the ingredients yet. Those are your garnishes, and will be added last. There should be no chunks of banana left when you are done. From time to time, you may need to push the smoothie down the walls of the blender. This will help things blend more evenly. For a fancier touch, consider using a fancy milkshake glass with a short stem and wide brim. If you need to, use a spatula to help guide the smoothie into the glasses. Add a swirl of whipped cream and a drizzle of hot fudge on top of the smoothie.  Place a maraschino cherry on top of the whipped cream, then shake some sprinkles on top. Stick a tall straw into each glass. If you have a long dessert spoon, you can use it to eat the garnish. If you don't have a blender, try using a food processor fitted with metal blades instead.

SUMMARY: Peel and slice 1 banana. Add the banana, milk, ice cream, and vanilla extract into the blender. Blend until everything is smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the smoothie into 1 or 2 tall glasses. Garnish the smoothie. Serve and enjoy the smoothie.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you used the password which came with the router when initially setting it up, you can usually find the password by checking the router or its documentation. If you changed the router password at any point in the time you've owned the router, you'll need to use a different method. Most manufacturers place the router's password on a sticker that's on the back or the bottom of the router unit.  The password is usually near the "SSID" heading. In most cases, the password will be a long string of letters and numbers, both upper-case and lower-case. In the unlikely event that you still have the router's original packaging and manual, you may be able to find a copy of the login sticker inside the packaging, listed in the manual (or on the back of it), or on a separate card which was included with the router. This is only necessary if you can't find the stock password on your router. Unfortunately, you cannot look online for your router's documentation, as your router's password is unique to your model. Most routers allow you to connect by pressing a "WPS" button on the back of the router and then selecting the network on your computer, mobile item, console, or entertainment unit. As long as you select the network within 30 seconds or so, this will allow you to connect your computer (or other item) without need to know the password.  Not all routers have this feature, so check your model's included (or online) documentation for a WPS (or Wi-Fi Protected Setup) feature. This step won't help you figure out the Wi-Fi password, but it will allow you to connect to the Internet on the connected item, which can help you find the password using one of the other methods listed below.

SUMMARY: Determine whether you used the router's stock password. Check the router unit for the password. Look for the password in the router's manual or box. Consider using your router's bypass to connect.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Get together the cotton swabs and other necessary components:  Cotton swabs Toothbrush A mirror Flashlight, flashlight app, or lamp that you can direct. Running water. Open your mouth and shine the light into your mouth. Do this in front of a mirror so that you can locate the tonsil stones. Close off, or flex, your throat muscles while sticking out your tongue. Go "Ahh," and tighten the muscles in the back of your throat. Do this while holding your breath, almost as if you were gargling water. This should push your tonsils forward so you can see them better. Run water and dab the cotton swab into it. This will make it softer and less irritating for your throat. Don't put it down, or you risk contamination. Minimize the contact your cotton swab makes with any germ-carrying surface, including your hands. When you remove the stones, shake them off into the sink without touching your swab to any surface, or wipe them on a clean paper towel. If you touch something like the sink or counter with your swab, trade it for a new one. Press or poke at your stone until you dislodge it. Carry it out of your mouth on the cotton swab.  Be very gentle, as bleeding may occur. Although a little bit of bleeding is normal, try as much as you can to minimize the bleeding. Cuts and wounds can get infected by the same bacteria in your mouth that cause tonsil stones. Rinse if bleeding occurs, and brush your teeth and tongue as soon as it stops. Rinse with water and move on to the next stone. Rinse especially if your saliva feel sticky, which sometimes occurs after the throat has been poked. As sticky saliva starts forming, drink water to thin it out. After you have extracted all the stones you can see, place your thumb into your neck under your jaw, and your (clean) index finger into your mouth right beside your tonsil and gently try to squeeze any remaining stones to the openings (like squeezing out toothpaste). If no stones appear, don't assume they aren't there. Some craters are very deep and it is sometimes hard to get them all. If you have a stone that won't come out with a cotton swab, it may be especially deep. Don't force it, as this may cause bleeding. Use the back of your toothbrush to gently nudge it until it loosens, then remove it with the swab or with the toothbrush.  If the stones still won't come out, you can try gargling with mouthwash for a few days and then trying again. If that doesn't work, you may want to try using an oral irrigator. If this doesn't work, you can increase the stream a little. Keep in mind that some people have a strong gag reflex and will not tolerate poking.

SUMMARY: Assemble your materials. Shine a light down your throat. Flex your tonsils. Prepare the cotton swab. Poke at the stones gently with your cotton swab. Rinse with water and repeat. Check for any hidden stones. Remove stubborn stones carefully.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Take screenshots of important customer service numbers and links. If you need to cancel the order, you will have easy access to the company’s cancellation procedure. Some e-commerce websites are better than others for canceling orders. Most big name retailers and Amazon has a cancellation procedure in place, while some consumer-to-consumer sites, like eBay may not allow order cancellations on some purchases. If the retailer doesn’t list a cancellation policy, but you follow up, courts and credit card companies often still file in favor of the customer. If the company says that cancellations are not accepted, it is unlikely that you will receive support through your credit card company. Your best bet for a full cancellation and refund is to catch it before it ships. Sign into your account and find your order listed. Then, click “Cancel” or fill out the cancellation form with your name, email, phone number, confirmation number, order number and a reason for the cancellation. Make sure to include your name, email, phone number, confirmation number, order items, order number and a reason for the cancellation. This is faster than email if the website has a 24-7 customer service line. It is a good idea to try both the email/order cancellation form method and call to ensure your cancellation is received. The customer service rep may give you a confirmation number by phone. Keep this for future reference. Note that some refunds take 30 days to show up on your billing statement. Follow up if the money is not credited within 15 to 30 days.

SUMMARY:
Keep copies of all order confirmations. Know your merchants. Try to cancel the online order as soon as possible. Search for an online form on which to cancel your order. Write an email that includes these details to the customer service department if the website instructs you to do so. Call the customer service number provided on the confirmation email or order page. Look for a cancellation confirmation email. Check your credit card bill to ensure that you have been refunded the money if you successfully cancelled the order before shipping.
