INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will need 3/4 cup (105 grams) of raw, whole cashews. Do not soak them ahead of time. You will need 3 tablespoons (25 grams) of nutritional yeast, 3/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder. Every so often, pause the food processor, and scrape any unblended mixture down the sides of the bowl. Keep pulsing and scraping until the mixture is grainy. Once you have a grainy mixture, your cheese is ready to use. Pour the cheese into an airtight container, such as a jar, and store it in the fridge. The cheese will last for 2 to 3 weeks. You should throw it out once it starts to look moldy or taste rancid. You can use this cheese on breadsticks, pizza, and even pasta.

SUMMARY: Place the cashews into a food processor. Add the yeast, salt, and garlic powder. Blend the ingredients until they form a grainy powder. Store the cheese in an airtight container in the fridge.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While rare, some modems encounter issues when paired with a specific Internet company (e.g., Comcast). Double-check your modem's compatibility with your current Internet subscription before buying (if possible). If you find that your modem won't work with your current subscription, try to exchange the modem for a different one that will work, or switch your Internet subscription. The cable output resembles a metal cylinder with a small hole in the middle and screw threads all around the sides. You'll usually find cable outputs in the wall near the floor in living rooms and bedrooms. In some cases, there will already be a cable connected to the cable outlet. The modem should be relatively high up (e.g., on top of a bookshelf), and it will need to be close enough to the cable output that you can connect it without stretching or bending the cable. You'll also need to have a power outlet nearby. A modem generally requires a coaxial cable to connect to the cable output, as well as a power cable to connect to an electrical outlet. Both of these cables should come with your modem, but if you bought it used, you may need to find replacement cables. If you plan on attaching the modem to a router, you will also need an Ethernet cable. Consider buying a longer coaxial cable if the one that you have is too short to allow you to mount properly your modem. Each modem is unique, and yours may require additional setup outside of this article's capacity. Reading your modem's manual will help make you aware of any additional steps that you have to take to install the modem.

SUMMARY: Make sure that your modem will work with your Internet subscription. Find your room's cable output. Decide on a place to mount the modem. Make sure that you have all of the required cables. Read your modem's instructions.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Choose your favorite movies or television show. Find a free weekend and get your friends together for a spot of binge watching. In between viewings you can discuss what you love about the entertainment and they're your favorite. Make sure you have lots of food on hand. Snacks make a binge watching weekend more fun. Make sure to take breaks now and then to stretch or take a walk outside. Amuse yourselves watching a bad movie, especially a cult classic. You can also do this with a poorly written book. Take turns reading it out loud and see how far each person gets before they are laughing too hard to keep reading. You can even turn it into a game (a drinking game for those over the legal drinking age, or using chocolate/candy as prizes otherwise). Everyone will thank you. This is especially fun if you've been friends for a long time. Talk about things you did together a long time ago. Often your friends will remember things that you don't so you can exchange stories about things you did together. Try to find things from that time. Look for old notes you passed back and forth or a journal you wrote together. Maybe you made dolls, or played football together. The objects will help you recall more of the times you spent together. Invite your friends to come over to give each other manicures, facials, and try out new hairstyles and makeup looks. Mimic spa fare by serving your guests hot tea, fresh fruit, and water with cucumber slices and lemon. Play quiet, relaxing new age music in the background and light a few scented candles to create a relaxing atmosphere for your friends.

SUMMARY: Have a movie marathon. Reminisce about old times. Host a spa day.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The vast majority of sore throats (cases of pharyngitis) are viral. However, some are indeed bacterial (called "bacterial pharyngitis"). The first step when it comes to treating your sore throat is determining the cause, and this cannot be done based on symptoms alone. You will also need to receive a throat swab from your doctor. A throat swab can identify the presence of bacteria. It can also inform your doctor of what bacteria specifically is present, causing your sore throat. Throat culture has fallen out of favor due to delay in diagnosis, and rapid antigen detection tests have become popular. Rapid antigen detection tests also know as "rapid strep test" is favorable because they are quick and have up to 90% sensitivity. Once the cause or your sore throat has been confirmed (and assuming that it is indeed bacterial), you will most likely be prescribed a course of oral antibiotics. The antibiotics will be tailored to the specific bacteria. For a Group A Strep infection, the most common treatment is Penicillin, although there are other choices of antibiotics that may be effective as well. It is key that you complete the full course of antibiotics prescribed to you by your doctor. One of the main reasons to take antibiotics in bacterial pharyngitis is to prevent complications from the illness. Other medication that can be used in the treatment of strep throat other than penicillin include amoxicillin, ampicillin, clindamycin. cephalosporins, and macrolides. For patients with hypersensitivity to penicillins, use cephalosporins for treatment. In addition to taking antibiotics to treat the cause of the infection, you may wish to take Acetaminophen to ease other symptoms. It can be purchased over-the-counter at your local pharmacy or drugstore. The usual dosage is 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Acetaminophen can ease the pain of a sore throat by blocking pain receptors in the brain. Acetaminophen can also reduce fever. Your bacterial pharyngitis symptoms should begin to improve one to two days after beginning antibiotic treatment. If you do not notice an improvement, or if new or worse symptoms begin to appear, book a follow-up appointment with your doctor. Most people recover completely from bacterial pharyngitis within a week. Bacterial pharyngitis that goes untreated poses the risk of complications, such as kidney problems and rheumatic fever. Therefore, it is key to have your infection promptly treated with antibiotics. Treatment is usually for 10 days; however, response to therapy usually take on a few days of time. Make sure you take the antibiotic as prescribed, and do not stop treatment early.

SUMMARY:
Have a throat swab to diagnose the specific cause of your sore throat. Take antibiotics for bacterial pharyngitis. Use Acetaminophen (Tylenol) to ease pain and fever. Be aware of the expected recovery time.
