Problem: Article: Get an idea of what kind of ring you would like by searching online. You can look at websites, which have a variety of rings. Or, you can look at the rings jewelry shops offer before visiting the physical store. Looking at rings online will give you an idea of what is popular and available, as well as what the type of platinum ring you want usually goes for. You can purchase your ring online, but it is usually best to go to a physical jewelry store so that you can make sure the ring is what you want and fits correctly. You may find a seemingly perfect ring at the first jewelry store you visit, but it is best to visit at least a few jewelry stores before committing. Visit at least three jewelry stores and even more stores if possible. Compare these stores for quality, selection, and prices. You can choose to visit only high-end stores, mid-range, or a range of jewelry shops. Platinum used to be sold at a fixed price, but now jewelers change the price of platinum each day. The price usually fluctuates between 4 to 5% on a daily basis. Compare prices while visiting jewelry stores to make sure you're getting the best deal. Take note of the quality of rings when comparing prices. Ask to separate the labor and platinum charges when asking for the price of a ring. Along with the hallmark that certifies the ring, ask if the jewelry store offers tamper-proof quality assurance cards. You can keep this card if you plan to sell your ring in the future, or you can keep it in a jewelry box if you plan to pass it on to a family member in the future. Unless you have your heart set on a style of ring, look at and try on several different styles. You might find one style you like on your first try and find the perfect ring on your third or fourth try. Make sure to try each style on when searching for a ring, as the style you prefer may not look as desired when on your finger.
Summary: Check online for rings to research design and ring options. Visit several jewelry stores. Compare prices. Ask for a certification. Look at several different styles.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For the most accurate measurement, test the resistance of a component individually. Remove the component from the circuit or test it before you install it. Testing the component while still in the circuit can cause inaccurate readings from other components. For example, you might test the resistance of the switches, relay contacts, or motor. If you are testing a circuit or even just removing a component, be sure that all power to the circuit is turned off before proceeding. On most multimeters, one test lead will be black and the other will be red. A multimeter often has multiple testing sockets, according to whether it is being used to test for resistance, voltage, or amperage (current). Usually the right sockets to test for resistance are labeled "COM" (for common) and one labeled with the Greek letter omega, , which is the symbol for "ohm". Plug the black lead into the socket labeled "COM" and the red lead into the socket labeled "ohm". The resistance of a component can range from ohms (1 ohm) to megaohms (1,000,000 ohms). In order to get an accurate reading of resistance you must set the multimeter to the proper range for your component. Some digital multimeters will automatically set the range for you, but others will need to be set manually. If you have a general idea of the range of resistance just set it to that range. If you're unsure, you can determine the range through trial and error. If you don't know the range, start with the middle range setting, usually 20 kilo-ohms (k). Touch one lead to the end of your component and the other lead to the opposite end. The number on the screen will either be 0.00, OL, or the actual value of resistance. If the value is zero, the range is set too high and needs to be lowered. If the screen reads OL (overloaded) the range is set too low and needs to be increased to the next highest range. Test the component again with the new range setting. If the screen reads a specific number such as 58, that is the value of the resistor. Remember to take into account the range applied. On a digital multimeter the upper right-hand corner should remind you of your range setting. If it has a k in the corner, the actual resistance is 58 k (58,000 ohms). Once you get in the right range, try lowering the range one more time to see if you can get a more accurate reading. Use the lowest range setting for the most accurate resistance readings. Just as you did when you were setting the range, touch one lead to one end of the component and the other lead to the opposite end. Wait until the numbers stop going up or down and record that number. This is the resistance of you component. For example, if your reading is .6 and the upper right corner says M the resistance of your component is 0.6 mega-ohms. When you are done measuring all of your components, turn off the multimeter and unplug the leads for storage.

SUMMARY: Choose the item whose resistance you wish to measure. Plug the test leads into the correct test sockets. Turn on the multimeter and select the best testing range. Touch the multimeter leads to the ends of the component you are testing. Turn off the multimeter.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Committing yourself to a fulfilling pursuit means that passion can pick up the slack when you're not feeling especially driven. This doesn't necessarily mean to pursue something you find fun 24/7, but it should be meaningful to you. The effort you exert should be on something that will make you proud in the end. Focus on completing the tasks which will benefit you the most in the long run. Learn to identify the difference between "high-value" tasks (that which will benefit you the most in the long term) versus "low-value" tasks (that which may be easier, but will offer much fewer benefits). Follow through on that which you've begun. Finishing one project will teach you exponentially more than a dozen fizzled-out attempts, even if you never want to look at that project again. Successful innovators are often lauded and idolized, but it can still be terrifying to pursue the unproven idea. Don't be afraid of venturing into the unknowngreat ideas may be a dime a dozen, but actually putting in the work to pursue a great idea can be extremely rewarding. Networking can easily feel mercenary and shallow when advertised too overtly. Understand that networking is crucial to success in most industries, but that you should never forget that you're forging connections with other people. You never know when you might form a true bond on an unexpected occasion, and find your next business partner, investor, or employer. Studies have shown that the most successful business people excel in both cognitive and social skills. Don't neglect your interpersonal skills!
Summary:
Pursue something meaningful to you. Prioritize your tasks. Complete your projects. Introduce the unexpected. Network like a human being.
