INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can use a ceramic bowl with slits in it, or you can use the original plastic basket that the blueberries came in. The container will need to have small holes in it to provide adequate ventilation. Avoid using anything made from metal. Blueberries can react with metal, leading to discoloration and stains on both the berries and the metal container. If you are using a larger container, such as a bowl, then use several sheets of paper towel; you do not need to fold them. The paper towel will help soak up moisture and prevent mold from developing. Avoid keeping them in the coldest part of the fridge, or they will get damaged from the cold. The best place to store the berries is on the middle or bottom shelf. Try not to keep them in the crisper. Most crispers are too humid and do not provide enough circulation. This could lead to mold. When kept in the fridge, blueberries can last five to ten days. The coldest part of the fridge is the top.

SUMMARY: Find a basket-like container and wash it well. Fold a paper towel into quarters and place it in the bottom of the basket. Add the blueberries on top of the paper towel. Store the blueberries in the refrigerator.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Get pH testing strips at your local pool store, big-box store, or order them online. Follow the product's instructions, which are typically dipping the strip into the water and checking its color against the range listed on the product. Some pH test kits require you to fill a small tube with pool water and add drops which change color based on the pH. Record the pH level in a small notebook to track the change over time. The pH of your pool changes frequently due to many causes. This is why it's important to check often. Write the pH down in a notebook to track it as it changes over time. . Test strips change color when exposed to water. The color corresponds to the pH level. Match the color to the package and you'll find the current pH level. The ideal pH level for a pool is between 7.4 and 7.8. Determine how many points you need to raise the pH. For example, the color of your test strip might show the yellow of a banana. According to your product, this means the pH level is 7.2. You'd want to raise the pH by a minimum of .2 and a maximum of .6.

SUMMARY: Test the pool water's pH level with test strips. Check the chemical levels one to two times per week. Aim for a pH level of 7.4 to 7.8.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you start your muscle-building workout season, consult a doctor. Muscle-building exercises are highly demanding to your body, and people with some chronic illnesses (such as cardiac conditions, high blood pressure, or stroke) may not be candidates for this type of workout. If you have high blood pressure (hypertension) you should not do heavy weightlifting without consulting your doctor. If your blood pressure is above 180/110 mm Hg, do not lift weights until you have normalized your blood pressure with medications. Strength training engages the muscles in your body and makes them work against a resistance. When you make your muscles work against a resistance, you are forcing your muscle fibers to respond to the added stress which leads to enhanced muscle size and definition. In order to build muscle, you need to add strength (also called resistance) training to your weekly routine. Typical strength training programs use free weights (dumbbells, barbells), exercise machines, elastic tubing, or even just the body weight (pushups, pull-ups, crunches). Plan a balanced, total body strength training program to build the muscles in your body (see third section). Muscle building is not fat burning. The best way to add muscle mass is weight training, while the way to get rid of muscles is extended cardio (you've never seen a Marathon runner with big muscles, have you?). However, you should not forget cardio exercises entirely as these strengthen your cardiorespiratory system and have numerous other health benefits, including improving bone strength, reducing blood pressure, reducing risk of chronic illnesses (diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular conditions), and improved mood. Also keep in mind that reducing overall body fat with cardio can cause muscles to "pop," and your body can look leaner and stronger. The key when planning cardio routine during muscle-building season is to do shorter sprints instead of long, aerobic workouts. Focus on 20 minute high-intensity exercises with 30 to 60 second high-intensity sprints followed by 1 minute rests. Do your cardio separately from your weight training workout. Never do your cardio after the weight training workout but reserve it to a separate day. Limit the amount of cardio workouts to 20 minute workouts 3 to 5 times a week. Weight training actually causes the muscles to go to a catabolic state (breakdown of muscle proteins). In response, your body has to repair the muscle tissue and during this repair you are actually "building" the muscle mass. Thus, your hard muscle-building workouts need to be balanced with adequate rest. Limit your strength-training workouts to 3 to 4 days a week and do not work the same muscle groups on consecutive days. Ensure you get a good night's sleep every night; it is recommended that adults get at least 7 to 9 hours a sleep each night. Lifting weights is not only straining to your muscles but your joints and bones as well. If you do not perform each exercise correctly, you may risk an injury. Always consult a trainer and take time to learn to do each exercise correctly before adding heavy weights.

SUMMARY: Consult a physical trainer and/or a doctor. Plan your strength-training workout. Do not overdo cardio. Rest, rest, and rest. Learn the correct techniques and know the risks.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Take your inhaler out of the package. Grasp it in your hand and firmly shake it vertically for 5 seconds. Point the inhaler mouthpiece away from you. Press the top of the canister down to release a single puff of air. Do this entire process once more before using your inhaler. You'll need to repeat this process each time you get a new inhaler. If you drop your inhaler, it's also a good idea to prime it before using it again. It's also a good idea to write the date on the outside of the inhaler's box after you've opened it. This will give you a point of reference in case the medication expires. A Turbuhaler is an all-in-one inhaler marketed under the name Symbicort. You'll do the exact same things to use it as a traditional inhaler with 1 exception. Before you use a Turbuhaler, you'll need to hold it upright and twist the grip in both directions. You do this instead of priming it. Once you hear a single clicking noise, the inhaler is loaded and ready to use. Like other inhalers, the Turbuhaler is loaded with a fine medicated powder. Take a deep breath and then push the air out of your lungs until they are completely empty. Don't do this until directly before you are ready to use the inhaler. Hold the inhaler vertical in your hand.

SUMMARY:
Shake your inhaler for 5 seconds then prime it. Twist the top if you are using a Turbuhaler. Breathe out fully.
