INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can skip straight to the next step to find which country it is made in, but this basic information is easy to check and remember. If the first character is an A, B, C, D, E, F, G, or H, the vehicle was made in Africa. J, K, L, M, N, P, or R as the first character means the vehicle was made in Asia. This includes the Middle East. Note that a VIN never begins with a zero or O due to the ease of confusing these two symbols. S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, or Z indicate Europe. 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 indicate North America, including USA, Mexico, and Canada. 6 or 7 indicate Australia or New Zealand. Note that nearby nations such as Indonesia or the Philippines are considered part of Asia for this purpose. 8 or 9 indicate South America. Many vehicles are made in a different country than the one the manufacturing company is located in. Compare the first two characters of the VIN to an online chart like this one, including the first "continent" code described above, and find out where a vehicle was really made. This will also tell you which company made the car. Some companies use the third digit as well to indicate manufacturer or company division. The first two digits should be enough to identify the country and company, however. This method will always work for North American cars, and will often work for cars from other regions. Note that this might be one year later than the car was actually made. A model year of 2008 means the car was probably made either in 2007 or 2008. See below for decoding instructions: A 10th character which is an A, B, C, D, E, F, G, or H indicate the years 1980 1987 in alphabetical order, or the years 2010 2017. J, K, L, M, and N are reserved for model years 1988 1992, or 2018 2022. P means the model year is 1993 or 2023. R, S, and T mean 1994 1996 or 2024 2026. V, W, X, and Y mean 1997 2000 or 2027 2030. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 indicate the years 2001 2009 or 2031 2039. A real VIN never contains the letters I, O, or Q. The year code has additional restrictions, never using the number 0 or the letters U or Z. If you're not sure whether your car is new or old, check the vehicle's 7th character. If this is a number, your vehicle's model year is earlier than 2010. If the 7th character is a letter, the model year is 2010 or later (until 2039).

SUMMARY: Use the first character to discover the continent of manufacture. Use the first two characters to narrow it down to country and manufacturer. Use the tenth character to determine the model year.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Get 2 to 3 overripe bananas that are starting to turn brown. Peel them, cut them into bite-sized pieces, then freeze them in a plastic freezer bag or container. The size of the banana pieces does not matter. This is simply to make it easier on your blender or food processor. Once the bananas have frozen, transfer them into a blender or food processor. Add 2 to 4 tablespoons (30 to 60 milliliters) of your choice of milk and a pinch of salt. The more milk to add, the smoother the ice cream will be. Whole milk is a great choice, but you can also use non-dairy milk, such as almond or coconut. This recipe is only a base, and it will yield somewhat-banana-flavored ice cream. It is still very delicious, but you can give it more flavor with some tasty extras. For example: For chocolate ice cream, add teaspoon of vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons (22.5 grams) of cocoa powder. For peanut butter ice cream, add 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 grams) of peanut butter. For cookies'n cream, add 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of coconut butter. Crush up some chocolate sandwich cookies and have them ready for later. Keep blending until the mixture takes on the texture of soft-serve ice cream. From time-to-time, you may want to open up the blender or food processor, and push down any unmixed ice cream towards the bottom with a rubber spatula. If you are making cookies'n cream ice cream, fold in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies after you blend everything together. Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, such as a Tupperware container or an ice cream container. Place it into the freezer, and leave it there for 30 minutes, or until it becomes scoop-able.

SUMMARY: Peel, cut, and freeze the bananas ahead of time. Place the ingredients into a blender or food processor. Add some extras, if desired. Blend the ingredients. Freeze the ice cream for 30 minutes.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are several ways you may be able to do this, depending on your device: Swipe from right to left until you reach the "All" or "All apps" tab. Tap the drop-down menu at the top of the list and select "All apps." Some apps require you to uninstall any updates before you can disable the app. It will no longer appear in your app list or take any system resources. Since you disabled a game, it shouldn't affect any other apps on your device.

SUMMARY: Tap the Settings app. Tap "Apps" or "Application manager." Display the "All apps" list. Tap the app you want to disable. Tap the "Uninstall updates" button (if present). Tap "Disable" or "Turn off." Tap "Yes" to disable the app.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before purchasing your tank inhabitants, it's always best to observe every fish in the store for signs of disease. Even if the fish you want doesn't seem to show signs of ich, it is still exposed to and may carry on ich into your aquarium at home. Some fish have very good immune systems and may just act as carriers to the disease. By introducing a carrier to ich, you are exposing your resident or current tank inhabitants to ich who may or may not have similarly strong immune systems as your new fish. Set up a separate smaller tank so you can observe your new fish for signs of disease. If there are any diseases present, treatment will be much easier but always do the full treatment dosage amounts. Don't think that a small tanks means you only need to do a reduced amount of treatment. When you add new fish to a quarantine tank or any tank, never add the water it was previously in into your aquarium. This reduces the likelihood of transferring tomites into your tank. This prevents the introduction of diseases to other tanks. Similarly, use different sponges and other cleaning tools for each tank. If you can't afford multiple nets, sponges, and cleaning tools, allow for each item to completely dry before using it on another tank. Ich cannot survive in a dry environment. Plants in tanks with fish carry more diseases than those grown and sold separately. Alternatively, you can quarantine tanks for 10 days without fish and treat them with ich treatments to be sure that it isn't infected.

SUMMARY:
Never buy fish from a tank where any fish displays symptoms of white spot disease. Quarantine any new fish for 14 to 21 days. Use separate nets for separate tanks. Buy plants only from tanks without fish.
