In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You never know when an illness or family emergency will strike. However, if this absence is planned, let all your teachers and the school administration know in advance. That way, they can get make-up work to you as soon as possible.  Say something like, “I’m sorry, but I’ll be out of class tomorrow for a family reunion. Please let me know what I need to do to stay on top of my work.” You may need to provide a note from a doctor or parent. Check with your school administration to find out. Stay after class to talk with your teacher one-on-one, or head to their office during your free time. Explain the situation, let them know you’re trying your best to catch up, and ask what you missed. If you’ve missed several days, it’s a good idea to email your teacher instead of waiting to talk in person. Say something like, “I’m so sorry I was out yesterday with the flu. I’m doing my best to get back on schedule. Is there anything important that I missed?” Sometimes, you might forget to complete an assignment, run out of time, or simply feel too tired. In cases like these, it’s important to be honest with your teacher about the situation. Explain why you missed the work and tell them you're ready to work hard to get back on track, You might say, “I’m sorry, I’ve been really busy with soccer lately and I’ve fallen behind on some assignments. I want to do everything I can to catch up. What would you recommend that I do?” Take note of any rules your teacher has regarding missed assignments. For example, they may require that you submit papers by email if you can’t get to class to turn in a hard copy. Your friends can fill you in on information covered and any assignments or activities you missed. They may also be able to lend you their notes. While talking to students is helpful, it shouldn’t be a substitute for communicating with your teacher. Ideally, you should do both. If you were already having a hard time in a class, missing school can make it even worse. If you feel lost or overwhelmed, reach out to your teacher, TA, classmates, or a tutor for help.  You may be able to meet with your teacher before or after class for extra help. Keep in mind that your teacher probably won’t have time to re-explain the entire lecture. Look over all your notes and materials beforehand so you’re as prepared as possible. It may be helpful to come in with a list of questions.
Summary: Let your teacher know of your absence in advance, if possible. Communicate with your teacher after unexpected absences. Be honest if the missed work wasn’t absence-related. Be aware of class policies. Talk to friends about what you missed. Get help for difficult subjects.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Follow the product instructions, applying it to the target area.  Meanwhile, saturate the scrubber with hot water to prep for removal.  If you are using a neutral product such as dish soap for removal, this task will require more elbow-grease, since you will be relying on friction.  For this reason, we recommend using a scum and mineral deposit remover for granite. Rub the scrubber over the hard water stains/mineral deposits, and any spots that look grimy or filmy, completely removing the build-up. You can wipe the whole sink down with this scrubber for a more thorough cleaning. Use a spray hose, a cup, or just your cupped hands to pour water over the targeted areas, rinsing the residue away. You can also wipe it with a clean, dampened sponge. If these steps did not work, the underlying cause of the staining may be from "etching."  Etching most often occurs after using abrasive products such as lemon juice, vinegar, or other acidic/alkaline-based products on your granite.  Etching is chemical damage, and may require professional advice for resolving. Mineral oil and olive oil can temporarily hide the appearance-based effects of etching, and can provide a short-term solution until a complete solution is found. Begin by finding a clean, dry cloth or rag and pour a few teaspoons of olive oil or mineral oil onto a small section of it. Try not to ball up the cloth so much that it begins to absorb the oil and spread it through the cloth. The oil should sit in a relatively concentrated spot so that it can be transferred to the granite. Wipe the sink thoroughly with the cloth until you’ve distributed a thin, even layer of oil over the granite. Allow it to sit for about a minute before you attempt to wipe it away. Use the clean part of the cloth, or just get a new one, and buff any excess oil off the sink. The granite will be shiny but should not feel slick when you run a finger over it. Continue to wipe it with a clean cloth if your finger comes away with oil on it.
Summary: Apply cleaner and dampen scrubber. Scrub the sink. Rinse the sink. Investigate results. Apply olive or mineral oil to a cloth. Rub the oil all over the sink. Wipe excess oil away.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you're renting your modem from an ISP (e.g., Xfinity or CenturyLink), you can try calling your ISP and asking them to reboot your modem. Not all ISPs will do this for you, but it's the only way to reboot an ISP-owned router when you're away from the network. This usually won't work if you aren't renting your modem from an ISP. If you don't know who your ISP is and you're away from the modem, you can probably find out by looking at your online cable bill or charges on your credit or debit card statement. You can do this by going to https://www.google.com/ in a web browser, searching for your ISP's name and the phrase "customer service phone number", and reviewing phone number(s) in the search results. For example, to see Comcast's phone number, you would type comcast customer service phone number into Google and press ↵ Enter to see the phone number at the top of the search results. Dial the customer service number to do so. This will usually result in an automated greeting. You'll have to indicate that you want to speak with a representative before proceeding; this process will vary depending on the ISP, so follow the spoken instructions until you reach a real person. When asked, tell the representative your phone number, your account number, and/or your address. Not all ISP representatives will require all of this information. Similarly, some ISPs will need more information (e.g., your date of birth) to confirm your account. If they can reboot the modem, they should do so, though they may ask you to confirm some account information before they officially reboot your modem.
Summary:
Make sure you qualify for this method. Determine who your ISP is. Look up your ISP's tech support number. Call your ISP. Navigate through the automated prompts. Present the representative with your account information. Ask the representative to reboot your modem.
