How do you keep strangers out?
This begs the question: "Out of where?" There are several possibilities. Starting with the simplest, your life, the answer is equally as simple. Do not engage them. Don't ta…lk to them. Don't make eye contact with them. Do not acknowledge that they exist. Most people ignored will grant you the same treatment. Next would be your home. This gets a little more complicated. But, it is almost as easily accomplished as the last. Strong locks and good fences make great neighbors. If you practice the art of shutting everyone out of your life previously discussed, and add to that deadbolts, heavy doors, and high fences, likely as not those who live around you will be happy to let you live your life in solitude. Or, you could always load up the truck, well boat and relocate to Pitcairn Island pretty much smack in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. There are only about 50 other residents there to deal with, and most of them related, so interactions could relatively easily be minimized. If 50 (3.31 per square mile) people is still too high a population density, you are going to be hard pressed to find any nation with a lower density. You might try parts of the Sahara Desert or perhaps Mongolia, but living conditions in the low population density areas of these two hot spots make living at all difficult. There are a few ghost towns in different parts of the world you might try. Some of these might prove to be challenging environments as well. You have high radiation levels in Pripkyat Ukrain, and Ōkuma, Fukushima, Japan; not condusive to good cellular health, but no pesky strangers. If you don't mind a little less background radiation, there's Survival Town, Nevada. The Atomic Energy Commission might get a little anxious about squatters on their Operation Cue test site though, and there are only a couple of buildings still standing; most were thumped into sawdust by a few (dozen) nuclear blasts in the 1950's. Oh, and then there are those pesky tourists the AEC buses in every day. If you are so inclined, I suspect the government of the People's Republic of China would be happy if you showed an interest in establishing residence in Ordos City, Kangbashi New Area. The Chinese government it seems has been building an entire city for a population of 1.5 million people that does not exist. The only people who live there or who can be coaxed, cajoled, or Shanghaied there are the government officials assigned to the place. It all sits there, brand new and unused, empty. China claims as many as 30,000 people live there, but fewer than 3000 have ever been confirmed. Even a view from Google Maps shows an urban area aproximately ten miles across (an area roughly 2/3 the size of Denver, Colorado) that is clearly under construction; that being the largest obvious source of activity.

What is a keep?
Answer Many medieval castles had a large central building called the keep. It was often protected by two outer walls. As a noun (so indicated by "a"), …there is only one meaning: the innermost and strongest structure or central tower of a medieval castle: "The prisoners were locked in the dungeon of the keep." It's also used as a noun, but an uncountable (abstract), noun, without an article, to mean support, in the sense of room and board: "She earned her keep by helping with the housework and caring for the children."

What is keeping kosher?
It is following Kashrut, a set of dietary laws (see Deuteronomy ch.14). * Meat must be from those land animals which have split hooves and chew their cud (such as beef a…nd mutton) * Fish have to have scales and fins. The kosher diet excludes shellfish. * Birds cannot be amongst those listed as forbidden in the Torah (Deuteronomy ch.14) and cannot be hunters/scavengers. In actual practice, today we eat only poultry-species concerning which we have a tradition that they're permitted, such as chicken and turkey. * Animals must be slaughtered in the manner specified by Jewish law and must be free of all disease. In actual practice, those who keep kosher purchase meat which is certified as kosher. * As much blood as possible must be removed from meat before cooking, since consumption of blood is forbidden (Leviticus ch.17). This is done by the kosher butcher. * Dairy and meat cannot be combined in the same meal and there's a waiting period between eating one and then the other. After dairy: 1/2 hour. After meat: 6 hours for most Jewish communities. * Fruits and vegetables should be checked to be sure they're free of bugs. Some Jews avoid cauliflower, asparagus, and the like, because of the difficulty in checking them. *Additionally, food must be prepared and handled following kashrut-laws and with kosher ingredients only. Any food that does not meet these requirements cannot be eaten by those who are religiously observant. Foods which are purchased should be labeled as having had kosher supervision during their processing. (MORE)
