Keep the shrimp in a single layer with the tail ends pointing inward.  A 12-inch (30.5 cm) shallow, round, glass casserole dish is recommended, especially if it has a microwave-safe lid. Any dish that can fit the shrimp in a single layer could be used, though. If you have one, a silicone steamer is actually the ideal choice, but these can be difficult to find. These steamers create a vacuum that allows steam to build from the food's own juices.  Avoid using a dish that requires you to stack the shrimp in multiple layers. If this happens, the shrimp may not cook through evenly. Drizzle with the liquid ingredients. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper or other seasonings, adjusting the amount as desired according to your own tastes.  You should only have a small amount of liquid in the dish, so hold off on any liquid seasonings other than those mentioned here. If you have too much liquid, the shrimp with boil instead of steam.     Gently toss the shrimp with a form to coat each one in the mixture of flavors. When done, though, make sure that the shrimp are returned to their original position with the tail ends pointing inward.    Cover the dish with microwave-safe safe plastic wrap and cook on high until done. When done, shrimp should also curl up into a C-shape. Note that the exact time will vary based on the size of the shrimp.  Miniature and small shrimp will need 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.     Medium or standard shrimp will need 3 to 5 minutes.     Large or jumbo shrimp will need 6 to 8 minutes. Colossal shrimp will need 8 to 10 minutes. Check for doneness after the minimum cooking time. Vent the plastic wrap by poking it once with the tips of a fork. Alternatively, if the dish has a microwave-safe lid, cover it with that, instead. Make sure to vent the lid by placing it on the dish slightly askew or by opening any built-in vents. The dish needs to be mostly sealed in order to allow steam to build inside, but do not keep it completely sealed. Doing so could cause too much pressure to build inside. Allow the...

Arrange shrimp in a microwave-safe dish. Add the water, lemon juice, oil, and seasonings. Cover and microwave until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Let stand and serve immediately.


Keep the soil moist, but not soaking wet, until the sprouts emerge from the soil. While the sprouts are still small and fragile, water 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 10 cm) away from the plant, to encourage root growth without washing the plants away. Birds, squirrels, and snails love sunflower seeds, and may dig them up even before the sprouts have emerged. Cover the ground with netting to make this more difficult without blocking sprouts. Place snail bait or snail repellent in a circle to form a barrier around your planting area. If deer are in your area, encircle the plants with chicken wire once they start growing leaves. You can use a 36 inch (91 cm) piece of chicken wire to surround the leaves and use a few 6 ft. (1.8 m) bamboo poles or wooden stakes to raise the chicken wire as the sunflowers grow. This should protect them from deer. Once the plants have formed stems and an established root system, reduce the watering frequency to once a week. Water generously during the weekly session, and increase the amount of water in dry weather. Sunflowers require more water than most other annual flowers. The period before and after your plant grows flower buds is a critical time and not getting enough water may damage it. Continue to water the your sunflowers weekly once the flower buds start to form. Once the flowers are about 3 in (7.5 cm) tall, remove the smaller, weaker flowers until the remainder are spaced at least 1 ft (30 cm) apart. This will give the larger, healthier sunflowers more space and nutrients, resulting in taller stalks and larger blooms. Skip this step if you want small blooms to arrange in bouquets, or if you planted at this spacing to begin with. If you are growing sunflowers for your own enjoyment, fertilization is not recommended, since they grow well without it and can suffer if overfed. If you are trying to grow extra-tall sunflowers, or growing them as a crop, dilute the fertilizer in water and pour into a "moat" around the plant, well away from the base. A balanced or nitrogen-rich...

Keep the stacked wood at least 8 feet (2.4 m) away from your house. Rodents often make their homes in woodpiles, so this will help keep them out of the wood and away from your house. This will help create an environment that does not encourage rodents to make a home in your yard. You can stack the wood on a raised metal grate. These can be purchased at home-supply stores or hardware stores. In many regions, it’s common for rats and mice to take shelter—or even permanently live—in thick brush, including manicured bushes. By keeping bushes a safe distance away from your house, you’ll make it harder for rodents to approach your home and sneak indoors unnoticed. If shrubbery branches get too close to your home, use a pair of garden shears to trim them back to the distance of 3 feet (0.91 m). If you have a dish of birdfeed on the ground, rodents will be drawn to the area, hoping to eat the food. So, elevate your birdfeeder in order to deter the rodents. You can purchase many designs of birdfeeder which elevate the feeder on a vertical pole about 5 feet (1.5 m) tall. Or, invest in a hanging birdfeeder, which you can hang off of an outdoor plant holder or a relatively low tree branch. If your garbage bags are not inside of securely-fastened trashcans, rodents will be drawn to the garbage. They may even follow the garbage smell back inside of your home. If you don’t have a good, sealable trashcan, you can purchase one at a local hardware store. It goes without saying that you should keep trash picked up and off of your lawn. If rodents believe that your garden is a source of delicious food, they’ll be more likely to invade your yard and potentially make their way into your home. To keep rats and mice out of your garden, try planting mint around the perimeter to create a barrier that rodents won't cross. Planting mint around the perimeter of your garden will also prevent rodents from eating any of the vegetables or fruits in your garden.

Stack firewood at least 18 inches (46 cm) off of the ground. Plant bushes and large shrubs 3 feet (0.91 m) away from your house. Place bird feeders on poles where the seed is not accessible to rodents. Keep all garbage inside trashcans with securely closing lids. Plant mint to keep rodents out of your garden and away from plants.


Keep the volume on your computer, CD player, record player, radio, or other speakers low. If you can’t get away with playing music out loud, put headphones in. Choose times of day when your parents or other people in the house are gone or sound asleep. Choose the basement, attic, or other room of your house that’s far away from other people and well-insulated. Stuff a towel under the crack of your door and layer with extra blankets or pillows to help keep sound from escaping, and even cover the whole door with a blanket if you can. Lay down some thick rugs on the floor if you’re concerned about being heard from below. Start the music playing in your room, then go into other rooms of the house where you don’t want to be heard to see if you can hear the music, and adjust the volume accordingly. If you’ve blocked your door for soundproofing, have someone else in the house who you don’t mind knowing about your music do the test for you. If you’re listening to CDs, records, or an MP3 player, hide them well when you’re done. Consider streaming music online through services like Spotify, Pandora, or YouTube if you’re not supposed to own a certain kind of music and if you want to leave less of a trace. Go to “History” in the browser you use to clear any music sites you’ve visited, and go into your browser settings to find and empty your cache file. Or you can listen to music sites without them showing up in your history at all by opening up a “private” or “incognito” window.

Keep your speakers low. Play music when others aren’t around. Listen to music in a concealed room. Soundproof your room. Do a sound test. Eliminate evidence.


Keep them apart and don't lay them over one another. This will stop them from blowing off and protects them from dust. Cheesecloth is light enough not to interfere with the air circulation. Choose a place that is away from people traffic and pets and that is warm, dry and dark. It should also be well ventilated. This will take anywhere from 4 to 14 days, depending on the time of year and your local humidity. After the leaves feel crisp when you touch them, place them single layer on a baking sheet. Place in an oven set to 100ºF/38ºC and leave the door open slightly. Heat for about 10 minutes. This will complete the drying process. Then place in an airtight storage jar. Label with the date and name. For the first week or so after adding to the jar, check for moisture. If you see any, remove and dry again in the oven. If you don't do this, the basil leaves will turn moldy. Ensure that the leaves are completely cooled before adding them to the jar. Any warmth will transfer to moisture. Use within one year of drying.

Place fresh basil leaves across a clean window screen. Place a sheet of cheesecloth over the layer of basil leaves. Put the whole screen into a drying area. Leave to dry. Finish drying in the oven. Let cool. Store away from heat and light.


Keep them covered or inside their packaging until you are ready to cook them. When the steak is at room temperature, it can quickly get to high-heat on the grill. Leave it cold and the centers will take too long to cook. This will help you to create a crisper crust on the outside of your steak. Think of the salt as a light snow on a dark road -- you can still see the steak, but there is a light dusting on the entire piece of meat. Use the biggest grains of salt you can, such as course or kosher salt. Bigger grains dissolve slower, leading to a better crust on your steak. Depending on your grill, you can get very different flavors from your steak:   Propane (Sear Burner): Gas grills don't give much flavor to the meat, but they are easy to adjust and toy with to get the perfect heat. They also get hot much, much faster than other grills.  Charcoal: The classic choice, charcoal briquettes light up and get hot faster than woodchips. They give the classic rich, smoky flavor to the steaks.  Wood-fire: Hickory or oak chips often give the best flavor to the meat. The trade-off? They are harder to light and keep ablaze. You can also use a mixture of charcoal and wood instead of just wood-chips.

Place your steaks on a countertop or on a cool stovetop to allow them to come to room temperature. Coat both sides of the steak with with a liberal amount of salt and pepper. Know that the type of grill you have will slightly change the flavor of your steaks.


Keep them in a cool, moist area. They can also be packed into sphagnum moss in a plastic bag and moistened until they are planted. They will need to remain in this climate for two to four weeks. It should be in full sunlight. You want the scion to flourish, but you don’t want the rootstock to take over.  At first, you can leave some leaves on the rootstock so that nutrients keep flowing up the tree until the graft is successful. However, if you see an actual branch start to form on the trunk of the rootstock, remove it; this will help encourage the scion to grow. Once the scion really starts to grow and new leaves appear above the graft, remove any further growths from the rootstock, below the graft. This removal will help the plant thrive with growth on the scion, rather than the rootstock. The rootstock will keep trying to grow its own branches, and you need to remove them for as long as the tree lives.

Plant the rootstock in pots. Store them in a temperature between 36 and 42 degrees Fahrenheit (2.2 to 5.5 degrees Celsius). Plant your rootstock in a safe place where you can watch the trees carefully for signs of insects, deer or other damage. Remove any shoots that extend from the rootstock.


Keep them in a drawer, sack or small container throughout the year, so that you will have enough to mark your plants when spring arrives. If you do not drink wine, then you can buy wine corks at a home brew/fermentation supply store. Gather enough wine corks for all of your herb plants. Keep a few extra corks on hand, in case you make a mistake. Other colors of marker will not show up as boldly on a cork. Ask someone with good or elaborate handwriting to write on your corks, if you do not like your own handwriting. You may want to write the name of the herb on both sides of the cork to make it easy to see from both sides. Place the cork on top of a surface instead of holding it in your hand while you drill. Drill approximately 1 inch (2.54 cm) deep into the center of the bottom of the cork. Make sure you drill from the bottom of the word toward the top. This will allow the writing to be read from left to right when it is in the garden. Push it into the cork firmly, until it feels very secure. You want to insert them securely into the soil, but they do not need to reach the bottom.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Collect corks from wine bottles as you drink them. Create a list of all your herb plants. Take a fine-point black permanent marker and write the name of each herb on a cork. Find a small bit, approximately the size of a barbecue skewer, to put on a handheld drill. Place a wooden barbecue skewer into each wine cork. Cut the barbecue skewers to a shorter length, if they are too long.


Keep them separate – you'll be cooking them separately later. The beauty about chow mein is that you can really use whatever vegetables you like. Cabbage and carrot are awfully common, too. Just dice it up and it'll be ready for stir-frying. Heat the oil, then stir in the marinated chicken strips. Remove the chicken from the pan when the chicken is no longer pink. Set the chicken aside – you'll be tossing it back in after the vegetables are done. Fry the wonton noodles in the hot oil, one small batch at a time. Remove the noodles when they turn golden. You may not need that much more oil after the chicken, or you may need plenty. Just make sure there's enough oil in the pan for it to adequately stir-fry whatever's inside. Remove each vegetable before adding the next vegetable. Add more oil as needed. Stir fry all of the vegetables, except for the scallion. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add 1/4 cup of water and place a lid on the wok when you stir fry the broccoli or bok choy. Because of this, it's easiest to do last. Stir well, then make a well in the center for the sauce. Stir the sauce, then pour the sauce into the well. Stir again. Add the scallion, stir, and then pour the chow mein over the wonton noodles. Mix it up as you like. Place it all into a big bowl with tongs or a large fork and spoon and let your guests serve themselves. Provide extra soy sauce on the side, too, if needed. Make sure you have both chopsticks and a fork at the ready – some people aren't proficient at chopsticks and prefer using a fork (and some are the other way around).

Keep track of any problems you have doing daily activities you are used to doing with ease. Pay attention if you:   Experience problems concentrating. Note if you have difficulty completing tasks in a reasonable time frame. Lack short-term memory. You often may forget things that people just told you or events that recently happened. Cannot concentrate or retain attention. You may not be able to pay attention for a long period of time without zoning out. Feel scatter-brained or have difficulty organizing your life. You may forget appointments or meetings with colleagues or friends. Struggle to find the right word or to maintain your stream of thought. Talking when prompted may be difficult for you. Have blurry vision during daily activities. Even if you are wearing glasses or contacts, you struggle seeing clearly and distinctly. If anything has changed recently in your stress, sleep, or health patterns, it may be time to make an appointment with a physician.   If your stress level has increased, this can cause chronic fatigue. Think about your daily life and if anything has changed substantially. Think about any recent health problems you’ve had and how they may contribute to your fatigue. Make a list of questions to ask a doctor if you decide to make an appointment. Think of questions to ask them as well as what information you need to have to help them answer your questions. CFS is more likely to occur in specific groups of people. If you are in these target groups, consider chronic fatigue as a potential diagnosis.   Chronic fatigue can affect people of all ages. It is most common though in people in the 40s and 50s. Women are generally diagnosed with chronic fatigue more than men. This may be due to their reporting it more rather than acquiring it more. Being unable to manage stress can be a problem that contributes to chronic fatigue. If you've felt differently, changed your social life, daily, work, or school schedule because you're tired, it may be a sign of chronic fatigue.   Consider if you feel more...

Keep track of how many servings you eat and avoid going back for seconds. If you need to, measure the amounts of food with a measuring cup to train yourself to correctly estimate amounts.  Some people find it helpful to use a small plate or bowl to prevent themselves from taking too much food. Don’t eat the entire meal when you go out to eat. Restaurants often serve much more food than is healthy. If you enjoyed the meal, take it home and finish it the next day. Alcohol is high in calories. Drinking too much may make you prone to obesity, which will then increase your risk of heart problems. If you drink, do so in moderation.  Women and men over 65 should have no more than one drink per day. Men under 65 should limit their alcohol consumption to two drinks per day. A 12 oz beer, 5 oz glass of wine, or 1.5 oz of hard liquor qualifies as a drink. Many people are reluctant to quit smoking because they are worried it will make them gain weight. Smoking and chewing tobacco increase your risk of having hard, narrow arteries. This increases your blood pressure, your risk of heart attacks, heart disease, and strokes. If you need help to both quit and manage your weight simultaneously, there are many resources available:  Talk to your doctor or see a counselor Consult a nutritionist or dietician to develop a meal plan that will work for you Join support groups or call hotlines Discuss medications or nicotine replacement therapy with your doctor Exercise will help you to lose weight and keep it off. It will also help you to lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels.  Do 75–150 minutes of physical activity per week. You can spread it out however it works best with your schedule. Great low-cost options include walking, running, biking, swimming, and playing sports such as basketball or soccer. If you need to lower your blood pressure and cholesterol, try to do at least 40 minutes of physical activity three to four days a week. You will probably be surprised how quickly you feel yourself getting fitter.

Keep track of the cost of things that you purchase at the store before you get to the cashier. Add the cost of items together and keep a running tally of your overall costs. When you get the receipt for your goods, compare your mental math with the actual cost of what you purchased. For instance, if your cereal costs $3.99 and soap costs $9.49, your total cost would be $13.48. Wait until your tank is almost empty, then multiply the cost of gas by your tank size. For instance, if you had a 12-gallon tank, and gas was $3.50 you could multiply 12x$3.50 = $42. You can also cover up the cost of the gas on the pump while looking at the gallons and use mental math to calculate your total cost. You can use multiplication to figure out costs if you're buying more than one of the same item. For instance, if you bought 4 candy bars for 2 dollars each, you'd have 4x$2.00 = $8.00. Round the cost of the product to the nearest dollar, and calculate the percentage of the sale. For instance, if there was a 7% discount on a $9.65 item, you could round up to $10. 7% of 10 is 0.7 or 70 cents, which is approximately how much you'd save.  Ten percent off of $9.65 is actually 0.97 cents. If you are buying a case of water that costs $5 and it's 25% off, your savings would be $1.25. If you need to split a bill, you can divide the bill by the number of people who have to pay to determine how much each person owes. For instance, if you had a heating bill that cost $125.36 and you have 3 roommates, you'd divide $125.36 by 4 to get $31.34.  If you wanted to break down the equation to make it easier, work on the dollar amounts first, then the cents. Breakdown $125 to $100 to make it easier to divide by 4 or $100/4=25. Then divide $25/4 to get the remaining numbers that you're missing. Add the remainder or $6 to $25 to get the whole number of $31.

Keep your baby hydrated by providing plenty of fluids. Fevers cause excessive sweating and, therefore, the loss of fluids is greater and could lead to dehydration. Talk to your doctor about offering an electrolyte solution such as Pedialyte in addition to formula.  Avoid feeding your baby fruit or apple juice or dilute it with fifty percent water. Popsicles or gelatin are also acceptable. Avoid caffeinated drinks because they force urination and the loss of fluids. Offer your baby his usual diet, but realize that your baby may not want to eat as much when he has a fever. Try offering bland foods such as breads, crackers, pastas, and oatmeal. Infants who are breastfeeding should only drink breast milk. Keep them hydrated by giving them plenty of breast milk. Never force your baby to eat if food is refused. Do not overexert your baby or her temperature might rise. Instead, place your baby in a room with a comfortable temperature between 70°F to 74°F (21.1°C to 23.3°C).  Avoid running the heater nonstop so that your baby does not overheat. Same with the air conditioner. Keep it off so your baby doesn't shiver and raise her temperature. Even heavy clothing on a baby can raise his temperature. Overdressing your baby can trap heat making your baby more miserable. Keep your baby comfortably dressed and cover him with a light blanket if the temperature is too cold in the room or you notice your baby shivering. Adjust the room temperature as needed to keep your baby comfortable. Not too hot and not too cold, a lukewarm bath could alleviate a fever.  If you plan to give your baby a lukewarm bath, give her some medicine to make sure her temperature does not rise after getting out of the bath. Avoid cold baths, ice, or alcohol rubs. These will cause your baby to shiver and make the situation even worse. Be cautious giving your baby Tylenol, Advil, or Motrin. Read the label carefully to make sure you are giving the right dosage for the right age. It might even be a good idea to consult a healthcare professional before...

Keep your cat from escaping from the bath by closing the door of the room with the sink or the tub. Fill the sink with two to three inches of lukewarm water. Never use hot water, as cats can overheat easily. Put on the rubber gloves to protect your hands and to keep the bath sanitary. Speak gently to your cat in an assuring tone as you place them in the tub or sink. Hold them by the scruff of her neck so they stay still, or have an assistant do this. If your cat has front claws, hold them with their back to you so you cannot get scratched. Stroke your cat with one hand as you wet their neck and head with the water. Keep the water out of their eyes to avoid irritating them. Wet their back, legs, and hind end until they are sufficiently wet. Make sure you clean their back, neck, chest, belly, tail, legs, and paws. Lather their coat well so you remove all the dirt and debris.  Most cats dislike getting water splashed in their face. Use a damp washcloth to clean your cat's face and head to avoid any scratching or complaining from your cat. At this point, you can use cotton balls to clean inside your cat's ears if they will let you do so. You may need to rinse several times to ensure all the soap is removed. Leftover soap will irritate your cat's skin, so rinse until you don't see any more suds or soap on their coat. Most cats enjoy a good rub down with a towel after a bath. Use the towel to dry your cat from head to tail. Try to absorb as much water as possible with the towel, as your cat will likely try to shake off any excess water and this could lead to puddles of water in your bathroom or kitchen.  If you prefer to use a hair dryer to dry your cat, never use the hot setting as this can burn your cat's sensitive skin. Set the dryer to the warm setting and the low noise level. Reward your cat for a successful bath time with a treat, as this will remind them that bath time can be a positive experience. If your cat shows a strong dislike towards bath time, despite your attempts to make them comfortable, you may...

Close the bathroom door. Hold your cat by the scruff of their neck. Work the shampoo into your cat's coat. Rinse your cat's coat until it is free of any soap. Dry your cat with a towel or a blow dryer. Consider a professional groomer if your cat will not tolerate baths.


Keep your current abilities in mind when making a schedule of practice runs. If you're considering running a marathon, you should already be able to run for at least 30 minutes without stopping. Your schedule should include what types of training exercises you want to do, how many miles you want to do in a single run, and recovery exercises. Give yourself plenty of time to accomplish your goals. Don't expect instant results, especially when it comes to endurance training. You should set aside at least 16 to 20 weeks to train for a marathon. Schedule running 1 long run a week and make sure you actually do it. When you start training, your long run should be about 10 to 11 miles (16 to 18 km). Every week, try to schedule extra miles. By the 16th or 17th week of training, you should be able to run about 22 miles (35 km)  for the long run. Long runs are important for preparing your musculoskeletal system for the actual marathon. Try to run at a pretty slow pace during your long run. You should be able to comfortably hold a conversation when you run. Short runs (around 3 to 4 miles (4.8 to 6.4 km)) can improve your cardiovascular function. Medium runs (starting around 7 to 8 miles (11 to 13 km)) should be a little faster paced than short runs. These runs help you build confidence that you can run for an extended time. Short and medium runs are good runs for the treadmill so you can control your pace. You shouldn't walk or be able to converse during a medium run. Aim to do 1 or 2 short runs and 1 medium run a week. Start out running about 6 miles (9.7 km) per hour and 0.1 miles (0.16 km) per hour to your speed every minute after 10 minutes.  By about thirty minutes you should be going about eight miles per hour. Running too much can actually hurt your ability to perform in the marathon. You should spend some of your training days doing low-impact workouts that help you maintain your endurance and build upper body strength. If you don't currently cross train, start with just 1 day of low-impact exercising a week....

Keep your deck clear of dirt and debris with frequent sweeping. Depending on how much traffic your deck gets and what the current season is, you may want to sweep once a day, or every few days. At minimum, sweep it once per week.  If you have a very large deck, a leaf blower may be ideal. If you have one, a shop vacuum works well for getting dirt and debris from between the decking boards using the crevice tool and the brush attachments. Hose your deck off thoroughly with a water hose fitted with a good variable fan spray nozzle to loosen and remove surface debris. Mix warm water and mild dish soap in a bucket. Use a soft bristled brush and the cleaning solution to scrub your deck clean. Make sure to get down in the crevices and corners thoroughly. Use your water hose to rinse away the soap.  This will also get rid of any mold or mildew growing on your deck. Make sure you do this, at minimum, twice per year. This isn’t more effective than scrubbing by hand, but it’s much faster. If you have a large deck, you may prefer this approach. Use a pressure washer with no greater than 3100 psi and make sure it has a fan attachment and soap dispenser. Spray down your deck with the mild soap. Use a soft bristled brush to scrub the boards. Use the fan attachment to spray each individual deck board and rinse away the soap and debris.  Pressure washers can damage the boards of your deck if they're not used carefully. Never point or spray the full pressure at yourself, another person, or pets. Small pieces of flying debris can also cause harm or damage. Stay at least 8 inches (20.32 cm) away from the deck surface at all times and spray in the direction of the wood grain to avoid possible damage.  Make sure you rinse away the soap thoroughly; otherwise, it may leave a film on the deck surface.

Sweep away debris at least once per week. Remove stubborn dirt with mild soap and a soft bristled brush. Use a pressure washer.


Keep your diet in check to make sure that you’re not consuming more calories than you’re burning. The simplest and most effective way to do this is to record the approximate number of calories you take in with each meal. When trying to shed fat, it’s best to reduce your daily calories as much as possible while receiving all the necessary nutrients and preserving lean muscle. As long as your net calorie loss through exercise is greater than your intake through eating, you’ll continue to get leaner.  The number of calories you should be eating will vary person to person, and depends largely on your bodyweight and composition (people with more muscle mass need more calories to maintain it), activity level and other factors. Talk to your doctor or a nutritionist if you decide to put yourself on a reduced-calorie diet. An expert will be able to tell you exactly how many calories you'll need to maintain a healthy body composition for your size, age and activity level. They can also provide you with helpful recommendations for food and supplementation.  Use a nutrition app (such as My Fitness Pal, My Diet Coach or Lose It!) or an old-fashioned journal to record the number of calories you consume on a daily, weekly or monthly basis to make sure you're on track to meet your goals. Reconfigure your personal food pyramid so that foods that are rich in protein comprise a bigger part of your diet. At the same time, drastically cut down on greasy, high-fat foods, or eliminate them altogether. High-fat foods are richer with calories, meaning it won’t take much of them to sabotage your nutrition plan. Lean, protein-packed foods, however, contain few calories on average. Their protein content will help you build valuable, calorie-incinerating muscle mass, as well as keep you feeling full longer.  Get your protein from sources like lean meats, eggs, beans, tofu, nuts, etc. Stay away from fried foods, chips and other snack foods. A good general guideline is to get at least 1 gram of protein for every 2 pounds of your...

Lower your calorie intake. Eat high protein, low fat foods. Choose natural, whole food options. Limit sweets.


Keep your ferret their cage when unsupervised until they are litter trained. This is the easiest way to keep accidents contained and teach your ferret to use their litter box. Keep your ferret contained until they are regularly eliminating in the litter box and do not have accidents in other areas of the cage. You should take your ferret out of the cage whenever you can during litter training. You do not want to keep your ferret locked up all the time. Whenever you're able to supervise, let your ferret out of its cage. When you see your ferret has gone outside the litter box, move the accidents to the litter box. This will teach the ferret this is what the litter box is for. It will also help develop a scent in the litter box. Ferrets are likely to eliminate in areas that smell like urine and feces. Ferrets respond to positive reinforcement, so offer your ferret some praise when they use their litter box. If you catch your ferret eliminating in the litter, offer them verbal praise once they are done. You can also give your ferret a small treat for eliminating in the litter box. If your ferret loves a particular type of treat, giving your ferret this treat can help encourage them to use their litter box. Your ferret is unlikely to use a litter that's very dirty or smelly. To encourage your ferret to use their litter box, clean the litter box once a day. Use a litter scooper to remove feces and any clumps of urine. Once a week, completely dump the contents of the litter box and replace them with fresh litter.

Litter train your ferret in the cage at first. Move accidents to the litter box. Praise your ferret for using the litter box. Clean the litter box regularly.


Keep your food as close to its original or natural form as possible. This means that you should try to limit any processed or prepared foods. Cook from scratch as much as possible. Processed foods sometimes contain huge amounts of sugars. For example, one teaspoon of sugar is equal to about four grams. One six ounce serving of low-fat yogurt has 28 grams, which is seven teaspoons of sugar in one serving of yogurt. One tablespoon of pure honey has only 16 grams. Whenever you eat carbohydrates, make sure they are complex, and not simple, carbohydrates. While both simple and complex carbohydrates are broken down into glucose in the body, it takes the body longer to break down the complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates are found in whole, unprocessed foods such as whole grains, peas, lentils, beans, and vegetables. Go for brown rice, whole grain pasta, and whole grain breads if you want to eat those items.  Avoid simple carbohydrates. A good rule of thumb is no white foods. No white bread, white pasta, white potatoes (like french fries), or white rice. Also avoid candies, cookies, cakes, bagels, donuts, and other confections. Many breakfast cereals also have simple carbohydrates.  Eat most of your complex carbohydrates at breakfast or lunch. Cut down on the portion sizes of complex carbs for meals later in the day to prevent your blood glucose levels from getting too high at night. Processed and refined sugars are simple carbs that should be avoided. Make sure to read the labels of all foods, not just sweets. Sugars appear in many common items, like pasta sauce, ketchup, salad dressings, and breads.  Be especially careful with beverages. A significant amount of people’s daily sugar intake is from drinks. Stay away from fruit juice, Koolaid, fruit drinks, vitamin waters, and sports drinks. Instead, drink unsweetened tea, water, and coffee — but skip the sugar-loaded coffees from chains.  Drink diet soda instead of regular soda. Regular soda has an enormous amount of sugar in it and is one of the worst things...

Keep your friends around you and spend plenty of time with them. Talk things through with your most trusted friend or friends but don't go on about the excuse or the breakup with people in your wider circle, as it can be overkill and make everyone feel worse. Instead, let everyone know that you're free to spend time with them again and that you are up for activities together. For moral support, don't go to events alone when you know he will be there too. Tell your friends that you're worried you might feel weak in his presence and say or do something you might regret and have them monitor things for you. Have a friend on speed dial in case you need to quickly talk about your feelings in the case where you accidentally bump into your ex and feel like taking things out on him or crying in public.

Revisit your friends. Turn up to events with friends if he is going to be there.


Keep your knees bent, positioning them about shoulder-width apart. Remember to raise your chest and head as if you’re watching for oncoming defenders. Also, bounce the ball at a steady rate, keeping it low and close to your body. Stability is key when starting the move. If you’re off-balance, you’re going to end up losing the ball. Dribble it in place, leaning onto your toes when you’re ready to take off. Wait for the ball to bounce back up toward your knees. Before it reaches your knees, shift your hand to the side. Turn it so the top of your thumb points slightly upward toward the sky. After putting the tip of your thumb on top of it, control the ball by touching your other fingers to its side.  Move your hand in a single motion, but don’t look down! If you look down, you key in the defender to what you’re about to do no matter how good your ball-handling skills are. The shift has to be done quickly, right as the ball gets close to the top of its bounce. You won’t be able to get a good handle on it if it’s close to the ground. Bounce it until it reaches the proper height. After bouncing the ball in place, prepare to shift it to the side. Aim for the patch of ground directly in front of your body. Use your fingertips to push the ball toward that spot. The ball will bounce back up at an angle so you can control it with your opposite hand.  The ball moves in a V-shape during a crossover. When you push the ball diagonally, it bounces up diagonally in the opposite direction. Keep the ball close to you so you don’t have to lean forward to retrieve it. To do this, push the ball laterally across your body. Don't bounce it forward or backward. Keep your palm off the ball, however. You’re going to need to continue dribbling it. Get in the habit of letting the ball hit your fingertips. Immediately push the ball down with some force to continue bouncing it at knee-height.  If you plan on doing another crossover right away, position your hand on the side of the ball instead of on top of it. Practice crossing the ball...

Dribble the ball in your dominant hand. Shift your dominant hand so your thumb is on top. Bounce the ball about halfway toward your other hand. Place your opposite hand over the ball to catch it.


Keep your legs curved up toward your chest as you land on your back rather than extending them out straight in front of you. This motion allows you to continue bouncing back up and doing flips for as long as you can. Have a spotter with you when you start doing more advanced tricks. They can tell you what you need to do to complete a trick properly, and they are there to help in case you get hurt. Keep your legs curled up toward your chest rather than extending them, and use the momentum of the bounce after you land on your back to propel you backward so you land on your feet. Use your hands to gently push yourself up to a standing position until you become comfortable with the movements. Master the front pullover before moving on to the back pullover. The back pullover is a much harder move to pull off. When starting the forward flip, pretend like you are diving off of the high board. Let the momentum of the bounce propel your legs up and over your body. Land on your feet and return to a standing position.  This move will feel like you’re doing a handstand and then flipping over. Always start the front handspring from the side of the trampoline and not in the middle of it. It’s a good idea to have a safety net in place, just in case you accidentally spring too far forward. Start with your feet at the edge of the trampoline, facing outwards. As you flip backwards and place your hands on the mat, let the momentum from the bouncing help you carry your legs up and over your head. Land on your feet and return to a standing position.  When you first start doing the back handspring, you may land on your knees instead of your feet. That is okay! Practice landing on your knees until you are comfortable with the movements and then work on landing on your feet. Always start the back handspring from the side of the trampoline and not in the middle. Having a safety net in place is recommended. The more height you can get with this move, the better, especially when you are just learning how to do a back flip. Try to land...

Keep your muscles limber by stretching them before you go about your day. Try these stretches to help your shin splints heal more quickly:  Do a stair stretch. Stand on a step or a stair so that your toes hang over the edge. Point your toes downward, then stretch them toward the ceiling. Repeat 20 times, rest for a few seconds, then repeat 20 more times. Stretch by kneeling. Kneel with the tops of your feet flat against the floor, then slowly sit back onto your feet. You should feel your shin muscles stretching. Stretch your Achilles tendon if you feel pain on the inside of the shin, which is most common. If you feel pain on the outside of the leg, stretch your calf muscle. You can release built up tension in your muscles and increase blood flow by rolling a foam roller under them. Place the foam roller on the floor, then kneel on top of it. Gently roll yourself back and forth on the foam roller, massaging your shins between your knees and ankles.You can get a foam roller at a sporting goods store or online. Increase your mileage by no more than 10 percent each week. If you feel the shin splints coming back, cut back on running until the pain goes away.

Keep your outline next to you as you write and check off each sentence or bullet point as it’s covered. The body of your essay will closely follow your outline and head in order from the first step to the last. Make sure to keep your steps clear and in the right order. Be especially careful with items that contain multiple steps. Make the transitions clear and acknowledge prior steps regarding a particular item, if applicable. A standard process essay might have 3 or more body paragraphs. Don’t try to overload each paragraph with too many details or you might confuse or lose your reader. For instance, when making pasta, consider writing a paragraph on how to boil pasta and another paragraph on how to make the sauce. This separates the ideas for easy clarification. Use transition or signal words to encourage your reader to continue on from one step to another. As you go along, you can transition from one thing to the next with words like “next,” “now,” or “then.” This will make your essay sound more cohesive and less like a list of boxes to check. For instance, you could write, “Next, place the pot on the stove,” to move from one paragraph to the next. Including “I, we, us, me, mine, our, and ours” within your writing can make it seem less declarative and authoritative. In a process essay, this can make a reader less likely to trust your instructions. Instead, stick with a second and third person perspective by using words, such as “it or they.” For example, you could write, “This essay shows…” instead of “I’ll show.” If there are particular things that your reader should avoid doing, make sure to describe these either in the main body paragraphs or in the conclusion. This is especially important to do if the task is potentially dangerous or harmful. For example, you might caution a reader to, “Cook the meat until it is no longer red in the center.” This advice will help them to avoid a foodborne illness.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Consult your outline. Structure the body of the essay in paragraphs. Add transitions in between steps. Avoid using first person pronouns. Mention any cautionary notes.


Keep your phone screen off and turn your clock away from your bed so you can’t see the time. Checking your clock will only stress you out and prevent you from falling asleep. Relax and trust that you’ll fall asleep instead of checking the time and thinking, “If I fall asleep now, I can still get 6 hours of sleep.”  Additionally, checking the time on your phone will expose your eyes to blue light. Blue light tells your brain that it’s daytime, so avoid checking your phone.  If you're worried about waking up on time, set 2 alarms on your phone 15 minutes apart. This can stop you from waking up and checking the time. If you miss the first alarm, the second alarm will wake you. Try breathing in slowly and deeply as you count to 4. Then exhale slowly as you count to 8, and imagine tension leaving your body with each breath. As you control your breathing, imagine a place, memory, or story that you find comforting. If a worrying thought comes to mind, imagine it passing away as you exhale, then return to your calming place. If you do the same thing every night, it will tell your brain that it is time to go to bed. Do things that relax you, like drinking herbal tea or taking a bath. A small, filling snack can help you fall asleep, provided it’s not too sweet. Good options include crackers with cheese or peanut butter, toast with jam or honey, vanilla wafers, or a small bowl of cereal. You could also soothe yourself with a glass of warm milk or hot, caffeine-free herbal tea. Just go for a small snack. A big meal can keep you up, so try not to have big meals before you go to bed. Choose a book or magazine that won’t get you excited instead of something action-packed or suspenseful. Relaxing choices might include a reflective personal essay, calming poetry, or a travel magazine.  Don't read a school textbook. A textbook might be boring, but you could get stressed about homework and responsibilities if you read one. Some people also find a coloring or activity book helps them relax when they can’t fall asleep. Your body...

Keep your planted leg straight, along with your upper body. The purpose of scales is to learn how to stably balance your body. In order to be a skilled gymnast, you need complete control of your muscles at all times. Scales allows you to practice this skill in a safe environment. Hold your arms apart for balance. Keep your toes pointed forward and both legs and torso straight. Once your leg is in position, hold it in place for a few seconds. You will want to strengthen and learn how to balance both sides of your body equally. Bring your foot up higher and repeat your scales after doing them with both legs. With training, you will eventually be able to keep your balance with your leg facing forward at a right angle to your body. Swing one leg backwards, keeping both your legs straight. Tilt your body forward to maintain a straight line between your body and airborne leg. With practice, you will be able to do a back leg scale so far that your body and leg become parallel with the ground.

Stand on one foot. Raise one leg slowly in front of you. Switch legs after each scale. Do a back-leg skill using the same methods.


Keep your proposal as short as it needs to be to accurately describe yourself and the job. Quality is your goal here, not quantity. Any excuse the client has to stop reading your proposal and pick up another consultant's is something you want to prevent, so make your proposal a quick read. For most jobs, two pages is a fine proposal length. If you refer to lengthy datasets in your proposal, attach them in appendices to keep the length of the actual proposal down. While you'll always want to devote some space to your qualifications, the most important person in the proposal isn't you — it's your client. Even when you're talking about yourself, frame your discussion in terms of how well you meet the client's needs (not how great you are). Avoid lengthy discussions of your work history (or your firm's, if you're not an independent consultant). Many clients (corporate clients especially) spend all day hearing empty, meaningless phrases parroted by people trying to sound important. Spare them this unnecessary tedium. Instead, write your proposal with clear, succinct language. Don't try to make your promises sound more exciting than they are with flashy jargon. Instead, just make exciting promises. Examples of buzzwords include things like "best practices," "synergy," "disruptive," "optimized," and more — each industry has its own. These words have effectively lost any power they once had from overuse and vague application. This may seem nit-picky, but it's essential. Even if you're not consulting for a position that requires any writing, clean, professional communication shows that you've taken the time and energy to present your best self. Mistakes don't mean you're less-qualified for the job, but they do mean that you didn't pay enough attention to get your proposal exactly right. In a tight competition between two consultants, this may be the deciding factor. After you finish your proposal, be sure to go over it a second time, editing for grammar and fluency. If you have time, let a friend or family member edit...

Stay short and sweet. Keep your focus on the client. Avoid buzzwords. Pay attention to spelling and grammar.


Keep your room at a cool temperature and make sure you are able to make it dark at night, either with blackout curtains or a sleeping mask. Use earplugs or a fan to block out external noises   Use your bed for sleep and sex only. Don't use your bed for things like studying, reading, playing video games, using any device with a screen (laptop, smartphone, tablet, etc.), and watching television. Be sure your mattress is supportive and comfortable. If you share the bed, make sure there is room for both people to sleep comfortably. Try not to let children or pets sleep in your bed as they can be disruptive. Eating a healthy diet helps your body to function more efficiently in all areas including a healthy sleep cycle, but there are some specific things you can do to help improve your sleep quality.  Avoid heavy meals late at night and just before bedtime, and avoid going to bed hungry. Don't drink too many fluids before bed or you may have to get up in the night to use the bathroom, disrupting your sleep. Limit your intake of caffeine. Don't drink caffeinated beverages after 2 pm. Stop smoking or avoid smoking close to bedtime. Nicotine acts like a stimulant and can prevent you from falling asleep. Avoid consuming alcohol close to bedtime. Even if you "pass out" from alcohol, you won't actually be getting quality sleep. Exercising, exposure to sunlight, and napping can all contribute to how well you sleep at night.  Exercise according to recommended guidelines. This includes at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity each week. Exercise routines during the daytime or early evening and avoid exercising right before bed. Exercising first thing in the morning can help you feel energized and awake. The link between proper exercise and sleep is well-documented. Studies have shown that moderate aerobic exercise, such as walking, can significantly reduce the amount of time that individuals with insomnia take to fall asleep compared to no exercise at all.

Keep your skin nice and wet when you shave – shaving with dry hair is more likely to cause skin irritation and ingrown hairs. Shave in the shower to keep your skin moist the whole time. The warm water will also help soften your hair. Never dry-shave – your skin should be moist and lubricated when you shave. Lather up with a rich shave gel or cream to protect your skin. Use products that are fragrance-free and non-comedogenic (won’t clog pore) if you have sensitive skin. Apply the cream or gel five minutes before shaving to soften up the hair. Shaving cuts hairs short and makes them sharp – that’s why it’s easy for them to turn back in on themselves, pierce the skin, and become ingrown. Use a razor with a single blade instead of multiple blades so that the hairs aren’t quite as short or sharp. Replace your razor blades every 5-7 shaves so that they stay clean and sharp. Always rinse your razor when you’re done shaving to get soap and hairs off of it. Shave with, not against, the grain of your hair. This prevents hair from being cut too short and irritating your skin, and decreases the likelihood of ingrown hairs. Do not shave the same area of skin over and over again. This can irritate your skin and cut the hairs very short, possibly resulting in more ingrown hairs. Shave over an area one time only. Using a high-quality, lubricating shave gel can help make this more effective. It may seem tedious, but take the time to rinse off your blade after every stroke you make. This will keep your blade cleaner and produce a more even, less irritating shave. Don’t pull your skin taut while you shave over it. This can let the hair follicle slip back under the skin. It may take some practice, but work on shaving your neck without pulling on your skin. Lift and move your chin and jaw to different angles to get those hard-to-reach places. Electric razors do not give you as close of a shave as razor blades do. Because they don’t cut the hair as short, electric razors may be less likely to cause ingrown hairs. Consider trying...

Keep your turtle in a large glass aquarium. As a rule of thumb, the enclosure's volume should be 10 US gal (38 L) per 1 in (2.5 cm) of your turtle's shell length. Keep in mind your pet's exact space requirements depend on its species.  If you have a juvenile turtle, be sure to find out how large it'll be when it's an adult. Suppose you buy your 4 in (10 cm) juvenile turtle a 40 US gal (150 L) tank. If the turtle eventually grows to 12 in (30 cm), that tank will be way too small. The tank should also have a secure cover to prevent your turtle from escaping. Additionally, aquatic turtles need water deep enough to swim. The water's depth should be at least twice the turtle's length. Mix together equal parts of wood chips and peat moss or sand and soil. Line the bottom of the tank with about 2 to 3 in (5.1 to 7.6 cm) of the mixture. Avoid lining the bottom of the tank with gravel. Your turtle could eat the small rocks and choke. Make the layer of sand and soil or peat moss and wood chips higher on 1 side of the tank. Build up smooth, wide river rocks or driftwood onto the elevated side of the bedding. This side of the tank should stay dry and rise up out of the water.  Gently slope the peat moss or soil and river rocks so the incline won't be too steep for your turtle to climb. Get a hiding box at the pet supply store and place it in the basking area. Your turtle will appreciate having a cozy spot to hide. Keep in mind the water in the tank will need to be deeper if you have an aquatic turtle. Make the basking area's height more than twice the turtle's length to ensure it'll be above water. You can fill the tank with tap water, provided your water doesn't have high chlorine levels. If you have a box turtle, the water should be shallow enough that the turtle can lift its chin above the surface when it's submerged.  Box turtles can drown in deeper water. If you have an aquatic species, such as a pond terrapin, remember that the water should be at least twice as deep as the turtle's length.  Find a chlorine test kit...

Keeping calm is key; reactions such as anxiousness or anger--while natural--will make things worse.  If the customer views you as calm and professional, the customer will tend to "mirror" your reaction.   Try focusing on your breathing, by taking deep, calm breaths. Do not be obvious about breathing heavily, however--it may come across as creepy or sighing. Let the angry client talk through their problems and explain all the reasons they’re unhappy. Do not interrupt. If you have a question, wait until the person is finished to ask it.  Be patient. This may take time on the customer's part. Do not argue, contradict, or otherwise engage in a fight, even if the customer is patently wrong. If the customer feels heard, it is often the most important part of the interaction. Customers will often eventually become much more agreeable just because they are listened to, sometimes even if the issue cannot be handled. An angry customer probably won't be careful about the specific language they use. When they say, "You messed this up," they usually mean the company messed up. Remember that this isn't about you, and taking it personally will stress you out unnecessarily. The customer cannot see you, so some verbal feedback helps reassure that the line has not gone dead, and you are listening. As they talk, make indications that you are listening, such as "Uh huh,” “Okay,” and “Oh, wow.” This will assure them that you are paying attention and make them feel like you want to hear the whole story. Your instinct may be to raise your voice in response to being yelled at, but this will only make matters worse. It will escalate the conversation to an argument, and the customer won't trust you to help them. Keep your voice level throughout the call, never speaking above a normal conversational tone.

Do not react. Allow venting. It's not personal. Encourage them with brief verbal prompts. Use a level voice.


Keeping on top of your child's immunizations — including her yearly flu shot — will help decrease the likelihood of her getting sick. In nearly all situations, keep your hands clean since your hand is the direct part of your body that comes into contact with germs and transfers it to other parts of the body.  Wash hands, in particular, before eating, after using the toilet, petting or playing with an animal, using public transportation, or after visiting a sick person. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly — front and back, between fingers, under your nails, and for at least twenty seconds with warm water and soap. Keep hand sanitizer with you when you travel or do not have access to soap and water. The T zone consists of the forehead, nose, and chin that forms the letter “T” on the front of the face. The nose, mouth, and eyes that, located within the T, are the primary points of entry for viruses and bacteria to enter the body and cause infection. Guard against all bodily fluids that exit the “T” zone as well: cover your mouth when you cough, your mouth and nose when you sneeze, and wipe your nose when it is runny (then wash your hands!). Keep your child home and out of daycare when he is ill or has a fever to prevent spreading it to others. If you know friends or family are sick, try to keep your baby away from these people until they are well again. Try not to share drinking cups, water bottles, or utensils with your baby since this is an easy way to transfer germs from one person to another, especially from parent to baby, who has not built an adequate immune system yet. Avoid putting your baby's binky in your mouth as a way to clean it and then putting it back into your baby's mouth. Adult germs are powerful inside baby's mouth and can easily cause an illness. The same goes for toothbrushes.

Make sure your baby is up to date with all of her immunizations. Wash your hands. Don't touch the “T” zone. Keep your baby home when he is sick. Avoid sharing.


Keeping the milk on or near the door will expose it to more heat or temperature fluctuations from the opening and closing of the refrigerator. In the back the milk will be colder and more likely to keep. Glass, disposable bottle liners, or “mother’s milk” bags are best. Polypropylene or polybutylene hard plastics are preferable to soft plastic polyethylene bags.  It is also important to ensure that other containers in the fridge are closed tightly so that that the milk does not absorb these other odors. A box of baking soda in the refrigerator can help absorb other smells. Writing the date you expressed the milk on the container can help you make sure you use the older milk first and before it spoils. You can label each container or put all milk from the same week or month together in a bag or box that is labeled. If you do not plan to use the milk in five to eight days, you should freeze it. Place it in a tightly sealed container in the back of the freezer. Use within 24 hours after thawing.  Depending upon how frequently you open the freezer, your milk can last for anywhere from three months to a year.  Do not use a microwave to thaw the milk. Thaw it under warm, running water. Do not bring to boil. It is natural for it to separate into milk and cream while frozen. Swirl it gently to mix these together. , if your baby won't drink it. If you find that your milk has a soapy flavor and that this is a problem for your baby, you can try scalding it. Heat to about 180 °F (82.2 °C)  (it should show signs of a full bubble, but not a rolling boil). Immediately afterward cool and store the milk. If this flavor does not bother your child, do not scald it. The milk will lose some of its nutrients in the process.

Keeping up on the latest local, world, and pop culture news can give you a lot of ammunition when you find yourself searching for something to talk about. Most people have at least a passing knowledge of what's going on in the world, whether it be in politics or sports, and having a shared opinion on something in the news can help break the ice and give you something to talk about.  You don't have to talk about serious political positions - in fact, it might be best if you avoid controversial or highly-opinionated subjects. Try asking someone, "So have you heard about _____?" Then ask her for her opinion on the subject. There's a good chance that a simple question like that can lead to other topics of conversation, and you'll also learn a lot about the other person from her responses. You may not know the people you'll be talking with, but perhaps you share a mutual friend or two. You can ask that friend what sorts of things the person you'll be talking to is interested in, and use that information to plan out some conversational topics. Or, if you don't share any mutual friends, try looking the other person up online. If you know someone's name you can search for her on social media sites like Facebook. Even if you're not friends and can't read the person's page, you might be able to at least see some of her interests or hobbies, or deduce from her photograph what sorts of things she's interested in.  If a person's social media photograph shows her hiking or playing sports, you'll know that she's interested in those pursuits. A photograph of a pet lets you know that she's very interested in animals. A photo with her children tells you that she has a family, and may be interested in talking about the struggles and rewards of parenting. Don't use social media or the internet to "stalk" another person. Simply take a glance and see what you can deduce about a person, if you know for certain that that individual will be at the social event you're attending. Then come up with something to talk about, should the...

Keeping up with a daily medication regimen can be difficult. To help you stay on top of your medications, work on establishing a consistent routine. Try to take your medicines at the same time each day. You might also find it helpful to:  Use a 7-day pillbox so that you can keep track of your daily doses throughout the week. Download an app that can send you reminders and help you track your medication use, such as the Medisafe Medication Management app or the Mango Health app. Ask a family member or friend to remind you to take your medication. If you plan to travel, make sure to take enough medication with you to last you through the trip. Eating well will increase your energy levels and help boost your immune system. To stay your healthiest, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins (like white poultry meat, fish, and beans). Ask your doctor or a dietitian if you’re not sure what foods are best for you.  There’s evidence that certain dietary supplements, such as whey protein and acetyl-L-carnitine, may reduce some of the symptoms of HIV/AIDS and strengthen your immune system. Talk to your doctor before trying any supplements, however, since some of them may interfere with your medications. Let your doctor know if you have any concerns about your weight or appetite. When you have HIV/AIDS, you have a greater risk of getting sick from eating foods or drinking water contaminated with bacteria or viruses. Make sure any food you eat is properly washed, prepared, and cooked, and stick to drinking bottled or filtered water. You can also stay safe by:  Avoiding raw foods, like sushi, raw eggs, or unpasteurized dairy products and juices. Staying away from raw sprouts, such as bean or alfalfa sprouts. Avoiding tap water or water from natural sources, such as rivers and lakes. Drinking too much or using recreational drugs can weaken your immune system. They can also make the side effects from your medications worse. If you’re dependent on drugs or alcohol, talk to your doctor about the best...

Keeping your Christmas lights together in one separate place will prevent them from getting tangled with other decorations. Instead of placing them on a storage shelf, place all of the hangers in a container. That way, they are safe and secure until next year. Lights are fragile and need more protection than cardboard boxes can offer. Plastic bins are sturdier and will last you over many Christmas seasons. They are also easier to organize in storage because they're stackable. Storing your lights in a damp place can cause them to rust. Both can damage the Christmas lights beyond repair when stored over a period of months. Place your boxes in an airtight cupboard or in a closet. Don't store Christmas lights outdoors or in a shed. Christmas lightbulbs can be fragile when stored, especially if you stack decoration boxes on top of each other. Fill the box with padding, like newspapers or styrofoam peanuts, to prevent lights from breaking while in storage. Sealed zip tote bags can also make excellent makeshift padding.

Set aside a box specifically for your lights. Choose a plastic over a cardboard box. Store your lights in a cool, dry place. Add cushioning to prevent your lights from breaking.


Keeping your awning mildew-free is much easier than having to clean mildew from it, but there are things you'll have to do monthly and yearly to prevent mildew from growing. Hosing down the awning regularly with clean water will remove dirt, organic matter, and other things that could lead to mildew growth.  To hose down the awning, simply set up a ladder and use a garden hose to drench the awning. Pay special attention to remove any twigs, leaves, or other debris that’s built up. Once you soak the awning, let it air dry. To clean your awning for annual maintenance, the process is the same as for removing mildew, but you don’t use bleach in the cleaning solution. This will remove pollutants, organic matter, dirt, and other contaminants.  Either remove the awning from its frame or set up a ladder to reach the top of the awning. Soak the awning with clean water. Mix a cleaning solution with 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water and ¼ cup (59 ml) of mild liquid soap. Soak the awning with the cleaning solution and let it sit for 15 minutes. Scrub the awning with a soft-bristled brush. Rinse and awning and allow it to air dry. When you remove your awning for winter or to store it for extended periods, you can prevent mildew when the awning is in storage. Perform your annual cleaning before storing the awning. Make sure the awning is clean and completely dry before putting it away.  Store the awning somewhere clean and dry so that mildew isn't attracted to the area. Keep the awning somewhere well-ventilated, as this will prevent mildew from settling.

Keeping your computer low to the floor or on it will dramatically increase the amount of dust it takes in. Raising the computer just six inches off the floor will decrease dust intake by up to 80%. Place your tower on the desk or raise it off the ground in some way.  Many computer desks will have a tower shelf that is raised up off the ground to help promote airflow. You can use just about anything to raise your computer tower, as long as it's stable. Vacuum your carpets and sweep your hard floors on a regular basis to prevent dust from accumulating. Keeping your floors clean will help prevent that dust from making its way into your computer. Much like keeping the floors clean, making sure all of your shelves cabinets, and other nooks and crannies are clean will help keep that dust from getting in your computer. The frequency you'll need to clean will depend a lot on your environment. Doors and windows tend to draw dust towards them, potentially into your computer if its in the way. Windows can do this even if they don't get opened, especially if they're poorly insulated. Try to situate your computer tower away from windows and doors. Putting an air filter in the computer room can be a fairly inexpensive way to keep dust from accumulating. You can get more complex with a filtration system for your whole house, but you should see positive results from a single-room filter. If possible, keep your computer in a room the pets don't go into. Pet dander is a major dust contributor, and dust will build up quick if they're in the same room often. Ash will increase dust build-up, and too much smoke can damage the components. Avoid smoking indoors to prevent this accumulation.

Keeping your hands clean will prevent you from accidentally introducing dirt and bacteria into the piercing. Before handling your nipple piercing, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water. When you’re done, dry your hands with a clean towel or paper towel. When you remove your piercing, your skin will start to close. This can trap discharge and pus under your skin, which can cause an abscess. This makes your infection worse and harder to treat. Leave your piercing in your nipple until your infection heals or your doctor tells you to take it out.

Finally, pat the area dry with a clean, dry towel.  You can buy a saline rinse over-the-counter, or you can make one by adding 1 teaspoon (5 g) of salt to 1 cup (240 mL) of purified water. The best time to clean and care for your piercing is after a shower. Soak a clean rag in warm water, then drape it over your nipple. Leave the compress in place for 15-30 minutes before removing it. Finally, pat your nipple dry.  You can use a warm compress every 2-3 hours as you desire. After you use the rag, put it in the laundry. Use a fresh, clean rag every time you use a compress. Avoid using cotton balls for this purpose or for cleaning your piercing, since the fibers can get caught in the piercing and make the infection worse. Fill an ice pack with ice and water.

Keeping your lid closed while lighting can cause gas fumes to build up. This can create an exploding hazard. If the gas has been turned on with the lid closed, turn off the gas and open the lid. Wait a few minutes for the gas to dissipate, then start the process over. In most cases, a propane tank is used to supply your grill with gas. Propane tanks are usually stored beneath, behind, or to the side of the grill. Attach the gas line firmly to the propane tank and the gas intake for your grill.  Depending on your grill, the hookup for your gas may vary. When in doubt, follow the usage instructions. If you don’t have these, look up a digital manual with a keyword search for your grill online. Some grills may be connected by a direct line to the natural gas supplied to your home. This kind of gas supply acts the same as a tank, but is stationary. Smaller tabletop grills oftentimes have small canisters of gas which are screwed into the valve of the grill before it can be ignited. This is usually done by turning a circular shaped valve on top of the propane tank. Some grills may have a secondary valve on the grill that you need to open for it to receive gas. Open the valve fully, then wait about a minute for the gas to move through the line to the grill. Generally, this involves turning a regulator knob on the front of your grill for the burner closest to the igniter to its highest setting. This will allow gas to flow through the grill up through the grate. Press the igniter button to cause a spark inside the grill and light the gas. Follow the ignition instructions for your grill for the best results.  Different grills may have different designs, like ones that have the starter and regulator knob combined. Follow the grill instructions when confused about the ignition procedure. Once one burner is lit, you can light burners next to the lit one without the igniter by simply turning on the regulator knobs for these burners.

Keeping your skin clean and healthy will help you stay wrinkle free for as long as possible. You can do this by:  Washing your face daily with clean water and mild soap that won’t dry out your skin. This will help remove dirt, oil, and dead skin cells which can clog your pores. Moisturize your skin to prevent it from getting dry and itchy. Use a non-oily moisturizer so that it won’t clog your pores and make you prone to pimples. Take off your makeup each night. This will prevent it from getting rubbed into your pores. You can purchase self-care materials like an exfoliating glove or a gritty rub which will help you remove layers of dead skin cells while you bathe. Chose a gentle exfoliating product that does not contain harsh chemicals.  Exfoliating materials containing microbeads are the gentlest because they have round edges. Avoid scrubs with rough edges like crushed apricot pits or walnut shells, as these harsh abrasives can damage your skin. If you use an exfoliating cream, rub it into your skin in gentle circles.

This should slow the development of wrinkles over time. Wearing sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF) when exposing yourself to large amounts of sunlight.

Keeping your thesis idea in mind, prepare an introductory paragraph about the character you have chosen and the role that he or she plays in the literary work. Your introduction should provide the topic of your analysis, enough background information to inform and intrigue your reader, and your thesis idea/claim. Describe what your character looks like and explain what their appearance reveals about them as a person. Make sure to quote or paraphrase directly from the work. Think about Huck's ragged clothes and what that says about his character. Discuss how Huck dresses up like a little girl to find out the news in town and how this altered appearance influences your analysis of Huck. If provided, include details about the personal history of the character (some of these details may have to be inferred). People's histories inevitably influence their personality and personal development, so it is important to discuss your character's history if you can. Where/when was the character born and raised? What kind of education does the character have? How does the character's past experience influence what he or she does or says? Discuss Huck's relationship with his father and with the Widow Douglas and Miss Watson, who take him in. How do these characters influence Huck's development? The contrast between Huck's alcoholic father and the conservative ladies who care for Huck later is an interesting continuum of social behavior to analyze and consider where Huck's own beliefs/actions fall on that continuum. Analyze the language that the character uses throughout the work. Does the character use the same language throughout or does his or her choice of language change from the introduction to the conclusion? Huck has an admittedly vulgar attitude for a little boy and often does not speak in a way that the Widow Douglas approves of. He does try hard to obey her and act appropriately in church, but he often missteps and announces himself, through his actions and words, as a person who is far less civilized than he...

Keratoconus is a potentially serious condition that can lead to vision loss. Only an experienced eye doctor can diagnose keratoconus and help you manage it. Ask your primary doctor for a referral or find an optometrist with experience treating keratoconus here: https://www.nkcf.org/keratoconus-referrals. In early stages and in mild cases, the only necessary treatment might be vision correction. If keratoconus affects your eyesight, your optometrist will prescribe eyeglasses.

They might need to alter your prescription or fit you with special contact lenses.

Kerosene containers must also be provided with an approved label, as required by federal and state authorities. Storing kerosene in anything other than an approved container is strictly prohibited for safety reasons. Since kerosene is a flammable liquid, it should be stored at room temperature and away from potential heat sources like the sun, hot water heaters, space heaters, furnaces, or ignition sources. This safety precaution will help keep you and your family safe in case of a spill. Storing kerosene for longer than three months can be dangerous, as the old fuel can break down and cause the growth of bacteria or mold. Ideally, you should buy high-quality kerosene in small quantities and store it in its original certified container. If you change the container of the kerosene, it might get mistaken for another substance – which could be dangerous. If you have kerosene left over after a few months, it's best for you to properly dispose of it. If you throw kerosene away, it will end up in landfills or incinerators, or may even be dumped into rivers. When kerosene is disposed improperly, it can poison the air, soil, water, wild animals, and even people and their pets.

Make sure to store your kerosene in a safe container labeled for kerosene or flammable liquid. Store your kerosene in a safe place. Keep kerosene for one to three months. Don't throw your kerosene away – no matter how old it is.


Keurig water filters are not sold individually, so you'll need to buy a set. They're commonly sold in groups of 6 or 12. You can find Keurig filters sold in the same stores that sell Keurig machines. Check any business or department stores that sell housewares, including Bed Bath and Beyond, Sears, Target, and larger grocery stores.  If you'd rather shop online, Keurig filters are sold through major retailers like Amazon and Walmart. Also check the websites of business that stock housewares. Filter sets are relatively inexpensive. Depending on the number of individual filters in a package, the cost can range between $5 and $10. Before you install the new filter in your Keurig and make the first cup of coffee, the filter needs to soak and absorb water. Fill a cup or bowl partway with water, and drop the filter in. Make sure that the filter is completely submerged while it's soaking. The filter will float initially, but will have absorbed water and sunk to the bottom of the cup or bowl after 10 minutes. For best results, rinse the filter off with tap water after it has finished soaking. Keep the tap water on a medium flow, and rinse the filter for a full 60 seconds. The lower filter holder will have a thin mesh layer on its bottom side. Rinse this off with tap water to remove any dirt or impurities that may have built up during normal use. Give the sides of the lower filter holder a quick rinse too. Slide the new filter into the filter holder, with its rounded top-side facing up. Set the lower filter holder in place below it. The mesh bottom of the lower filter holder should cover up the flat bottom of the fabric filter. Snap the 2 sides of the filter holder in place around the filter. The replacement dial is located on top of the handle of the filter replacement unit. It's about the size of your thumb, and will list numbers 1–12 (each of which stands for the corresponding month). Twist the dial clockwise until the indicator points to the month 2 ahead of the current month.  So, if it's currently October (month...
