INPUT ARTICLE: Article: LEDs and CFL light bulbs release less waste heat energy and while more expensive, last longer. Switching to energy-efficient light bulbs will also significantly reduce your electricity costs. Incandescent bulbs will last for an average of 1,000 hours compared to LEDs at 25,000 hours. Some fluorescent (CFL) bulbs contain mercury. When you are buying fluorescent bulbs, look for ones with a label that says low-mercury. Another great way to save energy is to minimize the amount of air leaking out of your home. Make sure that your walls are insulated. You could also consider double and triple pane/glazed windows reduce heat lostthis can be rather costly, but it will save you money in the long run when you do end up heating or cooling your home. You should also add some caulking or weather stripping around old windows and doors. This will help you to eliminate drafts, thus making your heating and cooling systems more energy efficient. This means both buying electronics with a good energy rating, and making sure that you unplug your electronics when you are not using them. Look for an Energy Star label on any appliance you consider buying. Energy Star is a certification given to appliance companies by the United States government. It signifies that the appliance is highly energy efficient. Regardless of how energy efficient your appliance might be, however, it is always good to unplug your appliances when you are not using them. If you have a hard time remembering to unplug your electronics, consider buying a power strip. You can plug your electronics into it, and shut them all off just by hitting the 'off' button on the power strip. Solar, hydro, and wind power are all excellent forms of alternative energy. Some utilities companies will give you the option of choosing green energy through the use of solar or wind power. If your utilities company doesn't offer a green option, don't give up! You can set up your own solar panels, and even build your own turbines. Instead of running the dryer every time you do a load of laundry, hang your clothes to dry in the sun instead. Set up your own clothesline. You can also air dry clothes on a rack indoors.

SUMMARY: Replace your standard (incandescent) light bulbs with more efficient alternatives. Weatherproof your home. Be mindful of your electronics. Consider alternative forms of energy. Dry your clothes outside.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Simon & Schuster are the original crossword puzzle publishers, and they introduced the official standards that professional crossword puzzle creators use. One of these standards is that puzzles must be one of five grid sizes: 1515, 1717, 1919, 2121 or 2323. The larger the grid, of course, the more difficult the puzzle. In this context, "diagram" refers to the arrangement of blacked out squares on your grid. These should be arranged so that if you flipped the graph, the blacked out squares would be in the same places. Two-letter words are never allowed, and three-letter words should be used sparingly. If you're stuck for thinking of big words, remember that it is also acceptable to use phrases. With some exceptions, the words in your puzzle should be words one can find in a dictionary, atlas, work of literature, textbook, almanac, etc. Certain puzzle themes may prompt you to stray a bit from this rule, but don't overdo it. If one of the phrases in your puzzle is "lost at sea," you shouldn't also use "sea salt." Again, certain themes may give you some degree of flexibility, but you should tread carefully. One hallmark of a well made puzzle is that the longest words are the ones most closely tied into the theme. Not all crossword puzzles have a theme, but most of the best ones do.
Summary: Use one of the standard sizes. Make sure the diagram has 180-degree rotational symmetry. Avoid small words. Use referenced words. Use each word only once. Make the long words count.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Remove pets from the kitchen vicinity or the house itself before you start a self-cleaning cycle on your oven. Take special care with birds, who are particularly susceptible to harm from this process, by removing them from the house completely. Note that pet birds are easily harmed and killed by inhaling the fumes that come from the pyrolytic coating on self-cleaning ovens, as well as many other nonstick kitchen items containing a substance known as PTFE. While humans and other pets are less susceptible for toxicity from this chemical, they can also experience irritation from PTFE fumes while running the cleaning cycle. Pets should be kept on another floor or removed area of the house for safety, and humans should also try to stay away, except to monitor the progress of the oven cleaning. Keep air flowing in the kitchen where you will turn on the self-cleaning oven feature. Turn on the vent fan on an oven range and open available doors and windows. You will notice an unpleasant odor from your oven once it reaches high heat for the cleaning cycle. This is due to the heating of the pyrolytic coating, as well as the burning food material. You can also consider setting up a fan faced toward an open window or door to help pull the smell from the oven outdoors. Do not perform the self-cleaning function on your oven if you don't have these ventilation options available. Your kitchen can fill with smoke and fumes, set off smoke detectors, and become very overheated. Take out all removable objects from the inside of your oven, as well as on top of it and below it, just to be safe. This would include any stainless steel oven racks, thermometers, cooking stones, etc. Do not forget to remove any and all items from the warming tray below your oven, if you have one. Some oven racks are also coated with the pyrolytic material needed for self-cleaning and are thus intended to remain inside the oven for the cleaning cycle. Standard stainless steel racks should typically be removed. Consult your model's manual to be sure of this. If desired, you may clean any baking or cooking stones, thermometers, or oven racks you remove separately as the oven goes through its self-cleaning cycle, particularly if there are stubborn stains or debris stuck on them. Consult the manual that came with your oven that will be unique to the specific model. Follow any instructions and safety considerations listed regarding the self-clean function before you use it. If you don't have or can't find your original owner's manual, search online under the brand and model of your oven, as they are typically available in a digital format. If you are having trouble determining the model and brand or locating a manual, especially for older ovens, consult a manufacturer or appliance specialist about the self-cleaning function before you use it.

SUMMARY:
Take pets away from the area. Ventilate the area well. Remove objects from the vicinity. Follow your specific owner's manual.
