INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Provided your shopping list is well-organized, you should be able to tell at a glance which items may be found in which aisles. Do a methodical sweep of the store. Go through the most important aisles first, and make sure you have all of the things you need before you move on. Try to cross off your shopping list categories (i.e.: fresh vegetables) at a time. Shopping are made easier if you go at times when the supermarket isn't as crowded. Late nights before closing are perfect for this, as well as weekday mornings when most people are busy working. In contrast, it's not recommended you go shopping during the weekend or in the early evening if you can help it. The supermarket will be busier and you'll spend more time wading through the foot traffic. Cloth grocery bags are a useful touch if you want the best shopping experience. You will save on the added fees for plastic bags, and cloth bags are more durable. Using cloth bags to shop with is also environmentally friendly, so you can feel good about yourself while you shop. When you're buying food items, it's a smart idea to make  a habit of checking the expiry date. This is especially important for things with a short shelf life such as milk. If there are multiple copies of an item available for purchase, check a few of them and pick whichever one has the latest expiry date. You should leave room on your shopping list for improvisation. In-store specials are worth exploiting if it's something you would have wanted anyway. Although your shopping trip shouldn't be dictated by what's on special, taking advantage of these opportunities is a great way to make the most of the money you spend. If your shopping trip is going to be fairly in-depth, you'll want to count for the time the frozen grocery items will be out with you. Frozen products like ice cream shouldn't be kept out of frozen storage for too long unless you want a mess on your hands. If you think the shopping trip is going to take a while, aim to have these frozen foods picked up last.

SUMMARY: Plan out your trip by aisle-type. Go shopping during off-peak hours. Use cloth grocery bags. Check the expiry date. Keep an eye out for in-store specials. Get frozen foods last.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Look for a kitten that doesn’t seem shy or quiet and that has plenty of energy. Kittens with these personalities will adapt the best to homes with other friendly pets such as cats or dogs. They enjoy homes with plenty of entertainment and people to play with. Consider your existing cat when you are choosing a kitten. If your existing cat is very shy, poorly socialized, or doesn’t respond well to other pets then it may be best not to get a new kitten. Shy and quiet kittens do best in homes with little noise and bustle. If you live alone or in a quiet household, then a shy or quiet kitten would be an ideal match. These kittens often form close bonds with their owners and can be playful at times as well as making good lap cats. Older kittens that are almost adults tend to be more mature and less rambunctious than when they are young. This makes them ideal for smaller children as they are likely to be more patient and less frightened of all of the attention.  If you have young children, older and neutered male kittens are often the best choice. This is because they tend to be the most laid back. They also tend to tolerate being handled better than females, which is important as small children will naturally be very inquisitive and want to be involved. For elderly people, older kittens also tend to be a good choice. This is because young kittens are more energetic and more easily get underfoot. The characteristics of your existing cat are important when choosing the right kitten for your home. Younger, playful male cats get on well with energetic male kittens. Older female cats tend to respond the best to young and calm female kittens. Playful adult females enjoy the company of energetic female kittens.  Laid back, older male cats that have been neutered tend to respond well to both male and female kittens. Male kittens tend to be more playful with other cats and with people than female kittens. Sometimes older female cats can become irritated by male kittens due to their playful nature. Many long-haired cats require regular brushing whereas short-haired cats usually require far less grooming and maintenance. Think about if you will have the time to commit to the grooming requirements of a long-haired kitten. Choose a short-haired kitten if you are unsure.
Summary: Pick a confident, playful kitten if you have other pets at home. Consider a shy kitten if you don’t have small children or other pets. Get an older kitten if you have small children living in your home. Get a kitten that's the same sex as your existing cat if you have one. Choose a short-haired kitten if you're worried about shedding or grooming.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place your pot on a flat surface with the 3 prongs that stick out facing you. These are your terminals. The first terminal, or terminal 1, is your ground. The middle terminal, or terminal 2, is the input signal for the pot. The third terminal, or terminal 3, is your output signal. The shaft on top controls a small ring attached to the second terminal. Turning it controls how low or high the input is.  If it helps, think of a potentiometer as a dimmer switch. The ground is all the way off, terminal 2 is the switch itself, and terminal 3 is the switch turned all the way up. A potentiometer is almost always used to throttle an input signal so that it can be adjusted. Sometimes, you can use a pot to overclock a device with a stronger signal. Pots are rarely used to control signals that are more than a couple of volts, but the amount of resistance that they provide is important. The higher the range, the more control you’ll have over your device. The number on the front of the pot tells the highest level of resistance that the pot can achieve. So a 200K pot can provide a maximum of 200,000 ohms of resistance.  100K is the most common kind of potentiometer on the market, since it has a solid range for audio equipment. These numbers are always printed directly on to a pot. Usually, they’re right next to the shaft on the opposite side of the terminals. Place your pot down on a flat surface next to your electronic device. If you know that you’re going to install the pot in a particular location, start there. Turn the 3 terminals so that they’re facing you. Remove any panels on your electronic device to expose the backside of any input or output ports. If you’re working on a breadboard, set the pot on the upper-most set of rows with the terminals facing you. You can use any kind of soldering wire to connect the terminals to the device so long as they aren’t acid-core. If you have an installation location set up, measure each length of wire from the terminal to the device. Strip any wires to expose the copper by using wire cutters. Use the notches on the cutter’s blades to cut and remove 0.5–1 in (1.3–2.5 cm) of plastic from the tip of each wire.  You’ll need to solder your wires, so get your soldering iron and flux and set them out on your work surface. Acid-core soldering wire is used for plumbing. It won’t work with your electronics. If you’re wiring a specific kind of electronic device that uses specialized wires, go ahead and use those if the soldering wires don’t work.

SUMMARY:
Identify the 3 main terminals sticking out of the middle of the pot. Read the resistance numbers printed on your pot to see what range you can achieve. Set your pot on a flat surface with the 3 terminals facing you. Measure and strip any wires that you’re going to be using.
