In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When the computer is at an angle, your cat won't be able to sit on it. This trick works instantly and involves no negative reinforcement. In addition, a computer stand is ergonomic and helps to cool your computer. This could be a quirky form of exercise for you if you're glued to the keyboard, but it might also work to deter the cat. As you type, move your elbows up and down whenever the cat threatens to come near. The constant movement of your arms might make it feel uncomfortable and cause it to hop down and do something else for a while. On the other hand, a patient cat might just wait it out until your arms tire, which won't be long if you've got to get on with typing; and a more playful cat might take it as an invitation to play. As tempting as it may be to show kitty the latest cat video you think is just hilarious, don't do it. This will tell the cat that it's okay to hang around your workspace. Once you invite the cat into your keyboard space, it will assume that it's okay to be there. You should not make it a positive experience when your cat jumps up on your keyboard. Don't pet it or praise it in any way. Making the experience on the keyboard as boring or negative as possible will make the cat less interested in jumping up there. A cat can typically be scared off a keyboard by a loud sound. An empty beer or soda can works well for this purpose. Put coins in the jar and then seal the top with duct tape or screw on the lid if the container has one. Shake this container whenever the cat tries to get near the keyboard. Be aware you will need to make the noise fairly loud and annoying, otherwise the cat may think it's an invitation to play or a food rattle. As with the water squirt, it won't be long before your cat is habituated to staying away. Make the surface around the keyboard sticky to the touch to keep your cat away. Place duct tape, sticky side up, around your work space area, either attached outwards on the barriers you've created or even laid flat on the desk. Cats don't like getting sticky paw pads, so it'll put it off trying to get any nearer. Try covering several cheap place mats or pieces of cardboard with double-sided tape and placing them on either side of the keyboard. You can place them out when you need to keep your cat away, but they don't have to be on the desk all of the time. Naturally, this method can get quite messy as all your pens, pencils, papers and even you get caught by the sticky tape too! You can also try materials such as aluminum foil or the underside of a plastic office chair mat. Look for things that are safe but unappealing for your cat.
Summary: Consider purchasing a computer stand. Make jerky arm movements while typing. Don't encourage your cat by showing it things on your computer screen. Avoid giving positive reinforcement. Fill a jar or can with coins to make a noisy rattle. Make the surface unappealing.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To get better at MMA, you'll need to become proficient in basic strikes and grappling techniques. The basic punches include hooks, jabs, straights, and uppercuts. You'll also want to learn basic push and roundhouse kicks. In grappling, you'll want to learn the different positions and how to do basic moves like armbars, triangle chokes, and the rear naked choke. Practice mastering these basic techniques before advancing to more elaborate techniques. Going to class regularly will keep your skills sharp and can keep you in shape. Try not to take too much time off in between classes when you're starting off. Go to at least three classes per week and then pace yourself to see how many classes you feel comfortable going to each week. While being sore is natural, you don't want to overdo it. When you get physically fatigued, overly sore, or injured, take time off from training and let your body recover. If you don't let your body recover from training, you can become weaker and less focused. Fatigue, weakness, decreased performance, and constant muscle soreness are signs of overtraining. Sparring is the portion of your training when you get to test your technique on a fellow classmate. Don't be scared to exchange punches and kicks with your classmate. When sparring, go in with an end goal in mind, like scoring a flush roundhouse kick or working to improve your distance making with your jab. Work on perfecting the basics on a moving target, and remember to pace yourself. The goal of sparring is to perfect your technique, not to hurt your opponent. It's good manners to shake your opponent's hand before and after sparring. Sparring partners will often try to match your intensity, so expect to get what you give. Rolling is when you practice your grappling techniques on a classmate without incorporating strikes. Grappling and wrestling can be grueling, and it takes a lot of endurance, so take your time and pace yourself. Practice getting out of tough situations, gaining superior positioning, and trying various submissions. Even though training and practicing technique is essential, it's also important that you work to improve your strength and endurance. Squats, deadlifts, and bench presses combined with regular sprinting, jump rope, and stretching will make you stronger, quicker, and more flexible. Designate one or two days a week in your training to work on your strength and conditioning along with your technique training. Make sure to check with the local governing body for fighting sports in your state before you sign up to compete so that you're aware of all rules and regulations. Typically when you're ready to fight, your gym or trainer will help you register for an organized competition. Talk to them and make a decision on which kind of competition or fight you want to compete in. Keep track of the things you're eating by writing down the different meals that you have throughout the day and counting your calorie and nutrient intake. You'll want to hydrate yourself and maintain a diet that's high in protein and carbohydrates. If you're training heavily, try to maintain a diet of 1 gram (0.035oz) of carbs and protein per pound that you weigh. Your diet should also contain plenty of omega-3 fats and traditional vitamins and minerals.
Summary:
Get the basics down first. Go to class regularly. Don't overtrain. Spar with your classmates. Roll with your classmates. Work on your strength and conditioning. Sign up for amateur competitions. Maintain a healthy diet.
