INPUT ARTICLE: Article: One thing about living alone is that you won't have anyone to remind you of important events or appointments.  Manage your time by writing down your daily schedule and to-dos in a personal planner. This will help you stay informed and make sure you are on time for events. Don't forget to write down the birthdays of your friends and family members in your calendar, too. With advancing technology, there are tons of applications to help you  compile a grocery list and cut down on costs. Visit your app store and download a shopping list app. Or, you can just use your phone's memo app. Keep it handy, so when you run out of something, you can add it to the list.  You might try to recreate dishes that you ate at your parent's house, or you might explore new simple recipes. Pinterest is a great app to save your recipes. Look for basic recipes for college students or single people. That way you won't have to waste money cooking large portions. Try to select healthy foods that fit your budget. Choices might include oatmeal or eggs for breakfast and meat, veggies, and brown rice for dinner. Renter and homeowner insurance can cover damage to your home and stolen or damaged items should a burglary or fire occur. Along with giving you peace of mind, it can also prevent you from having to pay out of pocket for repairs on certain items. Many mortgage lenders and rental properties require homeowners and tenants to purchase this type of insurance. Check with your potential lender or landlord before making the commitment to live there. Ask for recommendations if having it is a requirement. You’ll be able to sleep better and stay safe when you have an alarm system working for you. Along with alerting you of an intruder, alarm systems can also contact the fire department if your smoke alarm goes off. Do you have a sensitive smoke detector that goes off the instant you begin cooking? Place a shower cap over it to stop it from beeping unnecessarily. Just remember to remove it as soon as you are done. Living alone means you are in charge of keeping your place clean. Having a cleaning schedule can help you keep things tidy. This could include washing dishes and laundry daily, mopping and vacuuming weekly, and cleaning surfaces every few days. Hire a cleaning service to help if you need it. Even having someone come once a month can help you to keep your home in order. Place a handyman on speed dial if you aren’t comfortable with taking care of home maintenance yourself. Allowing issues to go unresolved can cause major problems down the road. It can also result in you losing a security deposit or paying for the damages to your landlord. Ask friends and families for referrals for a handyman. You can also look online at sites for recommendations. If you live in a city that uses public transportation, you can often download specific apps that help you buy bus or subway passes. If you own a car and need to get from place to place, make use of the navigation on your phone, such as Google maps.  Your landlord may be able to suggest the best forms of transportation for your specific area. You might also ask a neighbor how they get around. Look into multiple forms of transportation before deciding on the best one for you. You may also consider trying some forms that are out-of-the-box, such as riding a bike or carpooling with neighbors.

SUMMARY: Get a personal planner. Shop smart and healthy. Obtain renter or homeowner insurance. Install an alarm system. Create a cleaning schedule. Find a handyman. Access resources to help you get around.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Doing so will help you fully appreciate how far your wires will need to stretch, allowing you to adjust the speakers as needed before you connect everything. If you're connecting more than two speakers, you'll need to connect the speakers to each other with speaker wire before proceeding. Skip this step if you're connecting a soundbar. To attach your speakers to the receiver:  Connect the white RCA cable to the white port on the back of the left speaker, then plug it into a white port on the back of the receiver. Connect the red RCA cable to the red port on the back of the right speaker, then plug it into a red port below or next to the white port on the back of the receiver. If you're setting up a soundbar or subwoofer, you'll need to attach the power cable that came with the speaker(s) to the back, side, or front of the speaker in question and then plug the other end into a power source (e.g., a wall outlet or a surge protector). Plug one end of the receiver's optical or HDMI cable into the appropriately labeled port on the back of the receiver, then plug the other end of the cable into the optical or HDMI port on your TV.  If your receiver is old enough, you may end up using RCA cables to attach it to the TV instead. If you're using an adapter (e.g., for a headphone jack), plug it into your TV before connecting the other ends of the cables here. This can be a wall socket or a surge protector. Make sure that the power cable is firmly attached to both the power outlet and the receiver. Your stereo system is now all set up. You may have to change your TV's audio output to use the speakers. This is usually accomplished by pressing the Menu button on your TV or remote, navigating to the "Audio" section, and changing the default output from TV speakers to your current output (e.g., "HDMI").

SUMMARY: Arrange your speakers around the room. Attach your speakers to the receiver. Plug your speakers into a power source if necessary. Connect your stereo receiver to your TV. Plug your stereo receiver into a power source. Plug back in your TV and turn it on.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Select a large stock pot that has a lid and place your crabs into the pot to see if they all fit. There should still be 3 or 4 inches of space near the top of the pot once your crabs are in the bottom. Remember how far up the sides your crabs come. Remove the crabs and set them aside while you get the water ready. Fill the pot with water so the water is 2 or 3 inches over where the crabs were. Cover your pot and bring the water to a boil over high heat. You'll notice steam escaping from under the lid when the water begins to boil. For even more flavor, consider boiling the crabs in a vegetable stock. For a simpler flavor, you could just add a sliced lemon to the water. Carefully lower the crabs into the pot of boiling water. Cover the lid with the pot and set a timer for 15 minutes (if you're cooking one or two 1/2 pound crabs) or 20 minutes (if you're cooking larger crabs). Once the water begins to boil again, lower the heat so the water is only simmering. You'll need to watch the pot of boiling crabs while they cook. Make sure that the water is always at a lively bubble. Avoid boiling the crabs for the entire cooking time since this can make the crab meat tough and rubbery. Use tongs to lift the crabs out of your pot. Place them in a colander so the hot water will drain out of the crabs and into the sink. If you'd like to dress your crabs quickly, run cold water over them while they're in the colander. Use caution when handling boiling water and the cooked crabs. Use oven mitts to hold the tongs (especially if your tongs are metal) since the tongs may heat up as well.

SUMMARY: Check the size of your pot. Bring water to a boil. Add the crabs and boil them. Remove the crabs.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Enter String[] array = new String[] {"Elem1", "Elem2", "Elem3"} where "ElemX" are the individual elements you want in your array. Arrays.asList() for one dimensional arrays that you want to print as a list. Different compilers have different ways to accomplish this task. You may be able to go to "File" and then "Run." You may also have the option to simply click the "Run" icon in your toolbar. Your elements will be printed out in a list or column in the lower window of Java.

SUMMARY:
Setting the elements in your array. Use the standard library static method: Run the program.
