Problem: Article: Preparing your kitchen and home for a child with a newly diagnosed food allergy can seem overwhelming.  Take time to clean out the kitchen of any foods that are unsafe for your child.  Take a weekend to spend cleaning out and reorganizing your pantry, refrigerator, freezer and any other spots you store foods.  This may take more than a day to get everything set up. Remove all foods that contain the allergen.  You'll need to read labels and ingredient lists to ensure all potentially hazardous foods have been removed. You can choose to donate or trash these "unsafe" foods if you desire.  Many times, unopened items can be donated to food banks. Consider having your child help you.  He should not touch or come into contact with these foods; however, it will be good practice to have him read labels and identify potentially unsafe items. In addition to removing unsafe foods from your house, it's important to minimize "cross contamination."  Make sure to wash and sanitize all items in your house.  Cross contamination is when allergens from unsafe foods come into contact with cookware or flatware that is supposed to be "allergen-free."  For example, if you use a knife to spread peanut butter on your bagel, but use the same knife (even wiped off) to spread jelly on your child's bread, you have cross-contaminated your child's meal with peanut allergens. All dishes and utensils need to be washed and thoroughly rinsed in hot soapy water.  In addition, rinse off dishes that have food residue on them prior to putting them in a dishwasher.  You may also want to consider labeling some flatware and cookware as "allergen-free" and only use these items to prepare and serve allergen-free foods.  Also wash these separate from other kitchen items. If your child has a food allergy, it can be difficult to limit items in your house.  This is especially true if you have other children in the home with you.  If you need to include foods in your home that contain an allergen one child has, consider labeling your foods as either "safe" or "unsafe."  This allows the child with the allergen to clearly see what products they can consume without worry. You can put green labels on "safe foods" and red labels on "unsafe foods" or create your own labeling system.  Although this can be an easy system to follow, still teach your kids to read labels and investigate foods — especially when they're outside the home. Another easy and somewhat common method of cross contamination is food, crumbs, and leftovers eaten in other rooms.  Keeping foods and eating contained to one room can help prevent this.  It's common for families to snack in front of the TV, eat in the car, or carry food to their bedrooms.  However, this exposes an allergic child to many more opportunities for an allergic reaction. Limit food storage, preparation and consumption to only the kitchen and/or dining room.  Do not allow other children or yourself take foods into other areas of the house. This can help children feel safe at home and not have to worry about unknowingly coming into contact with their allergen. Cooking and food preparation is a common time where cross contamination can happen.  Take care when preparing foods for an allergic child to avoid this situation.  Consider using specialty cookware, flatware and storage containers when preparing your child's meals or take away meals.  This can help prevent cross contamination. If you're preparing both "safe" and "unsafe" meals or foods, prepare "safe" foods first.  This allows you to know that no cross contamination has happened since you haven't prepared any foods yet with the allergen.
Summary: Clean out your kitchen. Wash and sanitize all cookware and flatware. Consider labeling foods "safe" or "unsafe". Keep foods contained to one room. Take extra precautions when cooking.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The right food size for your lovebird will be indicated by the image on the label of these bird foods. Look for bird food that has high quality seeds that are hulled and bound together with supplements that contain vitamins and minerals, such as pellet foods. The average lovebird should have 2-3 teaspoons of pellet or seed based bird food a day.  You can also give your bird seed mixes. But keep in mind loose seed mix allows your lovebird to pick and choose what seeds it eats. Nutri-berries, Avi-cakes, and Pellet-berries require your lovebird to work to pry off a piece, so your bird is more likely to get a variety of seeds.  Look for seed mixes from your local pet store that contain canary seed, millet, rice, oats, safflower and a small amount of sunflower seeds. Corn is often a big hit with lovebirds, as well as sprouted seed. Pellet foods and seed mixes should be given to your bird on a daily basis, but should not be the only food you give your bird as they do not provide proper nutrition. About 5-10% of your bird’s diet should be bite-sized fruits and vegetables. Give your bird healthy fruits like apples, grapes, berries, papaya, and mango. You should also feed your bird vegetables like carrots, broccoli, zucchini, squash, cooked sweet potatoes, and dark leafy greens like kale and romaine. These include cooked whole grains, like brown rice, whole grain pasta, multigrain breads, and sugar free cereals. When you feed your bird fresh foods, make sure you remove anything in their cage that is uneaten so the food does not spoil. You should also wash the bowls in their cage before using them again. It’s fine if your lovebird shares many of the foods you eat. But limit her consumption of fried, greasy, sugary, and salty foods so she stays healthy. Do not give your bird tap water or unfiltered water. Most cages come with a water attachment so your bird has access to water all the time. These substances can kill your lovebird, even in small amounts. You should also avoid giving your bird avocados, rhubarb, asparagus, onions, raw legumes like beans and peas, and dairy products.

SUMMARY: Give your bird high quality bird food. Integrate fresh fruit and vegetables in your bird’s diet. Feed your bird healthy treat foods. Make sure your bird has access to clean, fresh water throughout the day. Never give your bird alcohol, chocolate, or caffeinated beverages.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you have had infestation problems in the past, make sure the equipment is far away from the source and clear of waste that may attract other insects. This can help to drain wastes away from the area and avoid contamination. Set a schedule to dump the debris whether or not the removal container is full. Keep all areas that are not in use free of dishes, waste and personal belongings. The walls, floors, ceiling and appliances should be free of clutter for easy cleaning.
Summary: Move equipment away from locations that attract insects or rodents. Place the equipment nearby running water. Arrange the regular removal of food waste, peelings and scraps. Maintain an uncluttered environment at all times.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can use a ballpoint pen, a toothpick, or a wooden skewer to do this. If you are a child, ask an adult to help you with this step. To find the center, flip the plate over so the back is facing you. Draw a huge X across the back of the clock. Make sure that the points of the X are touching the edges of the clock. The center of the X is the center of the clock. Line up the bottom of the arrows up first, then punch the hole through both arrows at the same time. This will make it more even. You can use a hole puncher to make this easier. If you don't have a hole punch, you can poke the hole using a ballpoint pen. Make sure that the hole in each arrow lines up with the hole in the clock. The pointy end should be coming out of the back of the clock. Separate the prongs first, then flatten them against the plate. You can use a butter knife to pull the prongs apart. If you are a child, ask an adult to help you. Brads can be very sharp. Turn the clock back over so that you can see the numbers again. You can now move the arrows around. Try not to pull or tug too hard, or the paper will rip.
Summary:
Poke a hole in the center of the clock. Punch a hole in the bottom of each arrow. Place the arrows on the clock. Stick the brad through the holes. Turn the cock over and flatten the prongs. Use your clock.
