Calculating the expected value (EV) of a variety of possibilities is a statistical tool for determining the most likely result over time. To begin, you must be able to identify what specific outcomes are possible. You should either list these or create a table to help define the results. For example, suppose you have a standard deck of 52 playing cards, and you want to find the expected value, over time, of a single card that you select at random. You need to list all possible outcomes, which are: Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, in each of four different suits. Some expected value calculations will be based on money, as in stock investments. Others may be self-evident numerical values, which would be the case for many dice games. In some cases, you may need to assign a value to some or all possible outcomes. This might be the case, for example, in a laboratory experiment where you might assign a value of +1 to a positive chemical reaction, a value of -1 to a negative chemical reaction, and a value of 0 if no reaction occurred. In the example of the playing cards, traditional values are Ace = 1, face cards all equal 10, and all other cards have a value equal to the number shown on the card. Assign those values for this example. Probability is the chance that each particular value or outcome may occur. In some situations, like the stock market, for example, probabilities may be affected by some external forces. You would need to be provided with some additional information before you could calculate the probabilities in these examples. In a problem of random chance, such as rolling dice or flipping coins, probability is defined as the percentage of a given outcome divided by the total number of possible outcomes.  For example, with a fair coin, the probability of flipping a “Head” is 1/2, because there is one Head, divided by a total of two possible outcomes (Heads or Tails). In the example with the playing cards, there are 52 cards in the deck, so each individual card has a probability of 1/52....

Calculating this number rests in the vowels of your name. For thousands of years, many cultures have used the chanting of vowel sounds to induce trance and elevate themselves to higher states of consciousness. So, one could say that coming in contact with the vowels (so to speak) of one's self, will lead you to a greater purpose. Likewise, your Heart's Desire Number (also known as your Soul's Urge or Motivation Number) can help you gain understanding of what drives your true inner self. It answers the question, "What is my deepest sense of purpose?" This relates to what you want to be in life and what you would like to have and accomplish. The relationships your nurture as well as those you avoid can be revealed in this core number. Add the numerical value of the vowels in your full birth name. Using the same example ROBERT NESTA MARLEY we get the letters O, E, E, A, A, and E. Referencing the same chart above, this yields the following equation:  O+E = 6+5 = 11 = 1+1 = 2  E+A = 5+1 = 6  A+E = 1+5 = 6  2+6+6 = 14 = 1+4 = 5

Call international phone numbers directly from the popular Skype application for computer and mobile devices. Buy Skype credit to pay as you go or a subscription to make a payment monthly.  Open the dialpad in your Skype app using the button that looks like the 10 keys on a traditional phone dialpad. Then select the country you are calling to from the dropdown menu. The country code will automatically be added, so you need only press or type in the rest of the phone number with area code. There is no need to use an IDD number. If the person you are trying to call has a Skype account, you can skip dialing a phone number altogether and call him or her for free. Just add him or her as a contact to start a free audio or video call at any time. Use another similar internet-based service to make calls to international numbers. Use a computer with an internet connection or a mobile device with a data plan to call regular phone numbers through these applications.  Try out services like PopTox if you want to make calls from a computer browser without having to download any software or app. Use mobile apps like MagicApp and Talkatone to place international calls for free. Or, try a service like Google Hangouts, Rebtel, or Vonage to make calls at affordable rates. Ask your call recipient if you can reach them through other online applications that don’t require calling a traditional phone number. Many of these VoIP services are free to join and to call other users of the app.  Try out popular services like Google Hangouts, Viber, or Facebook Messenger. These apps simply require you to join the service in order to call other users of the service for free.  Make sure both you and the person you are calling are connected to a reliable internet connection before placing a call through an application on your computer or phone. Data rates still apply for using any app on your mobile device unless connected to WiFi.

Call your loved one, write him an encouraging card or letter, or visit him at home. This will show that you will stick by him no matter what. There are many different ways to stay in contact with the person you care about.  Make a point of seeing your loved one as often as you can without overwhelming him. If you're working, email him to check in. If you can't call every day, communicate through texting as often as you can. Your loved one may feel better, even just a little bit, if he spends some time out of the house. It can be monumentally difficult for a person suffering from depression to get outside in the first place. Offer to do something that your loved one might enjoy in the fresh air. You don't have to train for a marathon together. Just try going for 20-minute walk with your loved one. He may feel a little better after engaging in some physical activity outdoors. Some studies have shown that connecting with nature can reduce stress and elevate mood.  According to research, walking in green areas can help a person’s mind get in a meditative state, contributing to further relaxation and improved mood. Getting some sunshine will elevate a person’s vitamin D levels, which can contribute to improved mood. Even just sitting on a bench and soaking in some sunlight for a few minutes can be helpful.

Camembert cheese tastes the best at room temperature, not straight from the refrigerator. Take it out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before you want to eat it so it has time to warm up. To cut up Camembert, cut it into wedges like you would a pizza. It's easiest to cut from the center using a sharp cheese knife. A cheese knife has holes in the blade so the cheese doesn't stick. However, any sharp knife will do. The rind on Camembert is safe to eat, but it can have a pretty strong flavor. It's really up to you whether you eat the rind with the cheese or not, so just give it a taste.  Try a slice that includes the rind and one that doesn't. If you don't like the rind, simply slice it off and just eat the inside of the cheese. Cut off slices of the cheese and use a knife to spread it on the cracker or a slice of French bread. Eat it as is, or add a little honey or preserves on top.  Try whatever jams or preserves you enjoy, such as raspberry, cherry, fig, or apricot. You could also add a slice of fresh peach, pear, or apple in place of the preserves. While Camembert will still remain safe to eat after this time, it's flavor will start to deteriorate after you cut into the rind. The rind acts as a protective barrier for the cheese, keeping it tasty and fresh. Before you cut into the rind, Camembert will usually keep for 1-2 weeks in the refrigerator and 6 months or longer in the freezer.

Canaries love to fly, and they need a cage big enough to keep them active and happy. A canary cage should be at least 16 inches (41 cm) tall and 30 inches (76 cm) wide. Ideally, however, you should buy the largest cage that you have room for. For canaries, the distance between bars should be no more than 1⁄2 inch (13 mm) wide. This will prevent them from getting their heads stuck. A cage made out of iron or powder-coated steel provides a secure home for your canary. Canaries aren’t aggressive chewers, so they should be fine in a wooden or plastic cage, but metal cages tend to be the more secure choice overall. When canaries fly, they prefer long flight paths over height. This means that you should choose a wide, horizontal cage, not a tall and skinny cage. Good cages should be rectangular in shape, not round. Round cages prevent perches from hanging properly and reduce the amount of flying space. Inspect the cage to make sure that the bird cannot injure themselves. A well-made cage should have no sharp or jutting points on it. Test the lock on the door to make sure it is sturdy. Canaries can become territorial over small spaces like cages. If kept together, they may fight or injure one another. If you are planning on having more than one canary, you should keep a separate cage for each. While you may be able to keep a male and female pair together during the breeding season, they will still need to be separated throughout the rest of the year.

Canaries need a varied diet of seeds, pellets, fresh fruit, and leafy vegetables. You can usually find a special canary mix of seeds and pellets at pet stores. Give them one teaspoon of this mix a day.  Some good vegetables and fruits for the canary include kale, apples, broccoli, grapes, dandelion, oranges, bananas, peas, and melons. Attach both a cuttlefish bone and an avian mineral block to the side of the cage. Your canary will slowly eat away at these for calcium and minerals. Never feed your canary avocado as it is toxic to birds. Canaries need constant access to fresh water. Once a day, take the bowl out of the cage. Empty it out, and wash it with warm water and soap. Rinse it well and dry it with a towel before refilling with fresh water. The cage needs a full cleaning once a week. Put the canary in a bird carrier. Empty out the liner before scrubbing the entire cage with hot water and soap. Wash all of the dishes and perches too. Let everything dry before putting them back in the cage. The cage liner and dishes should be washed every day. Canaries are sensitive to the sun. They may stay awake if there is any light coming into their cage. To prevent this, place a blanket or a cover over the cage after the sun goes down. Canaries have delicate lungs, and they can be prone to mites or other parasites. Take your canary to a specialized avian veterinarian if they show any signs of sickness.  Common signs of sickness include fluffed, ruffled, or thinning feathers, inactivity, discolored feces,  discharge around the eyes or beak, or squinting. To find a local avian vet, you can use the database at the Association of Avian Vets.

Cancelling plans is a red flag that something may be wrong. While circumstances often occur with valid reasons to miss a date, if it happens more than 50% of dates, you’re in the danger zone.  When a girl starts to repetitively cancel plans or is always busy, she is sending a clear message. A girl that is interested in you will make herself available and want to spend time with you, so if you find your girlfriend constantly ditching plans, take it as a sign. If you see a pattern of canceled dates or if she constantly has other plans it is time to sit her down for a heart to heart. If she is always inviting friends to meet up with on your dates or suggesting group or double dates, this could be a sign that she doesn’t like being alone with you anymore. If she is constantly leaving in one room to go talk to another group of people this might be a sign that she doesn’t enjoy spending time with you anymore. Likewise, going to parties and social gatherings without inviting you is also a sign that something might be wrong with your relationship.

Cancer and Pisces work well together, as both are water signs. Cancer is mystified (in a good way) with Pisces's quiet vulnerability, while Pisces appreciates Cancer's sympathetic nature. Another water sign, Scorpio also lives in a more — let's say — rarefied realm. Scorpio and Pisces appreciate each other's depth and reasonableness. Both signs, however, can begin to show signs of frustration when the real world butts its nasty little head in and requires either sign to make compromises, be practical, and get things done. Virgo and Pisces share a fascination with and fondness of communication. Although Virgo can be a little bit exacting from time to time, Pisces's loyalty makes these signs quite compatible. A Pisces/Pisces love match could either go one of two ways: unburdened and complete love for one another, or consummate distaste. They'll either love each other because of similarities or hate each other because of similarities. One likes to change (Pisces) while the other likes to stay the same (Taurus). Although the stability that Taurus offers may be reassuring to Pisces, her desire to always stay the same may eventually be stifling for a Pisces that can embrace changes readily and quickly. This relationship will enjoy a perfect balance of comfort and compassion, and will endure a long stay together.

Cancer research has emphasized the importance of getting your nutrients from food instead of vitamin supplements whenever possible. However, there may be cases where a supplement is a better option for you. Be sure to discuss any supplements you are taking or thinking about taking with your physician.  Take zinc supplements. Most men do not get enough zinc in their diets, and supplements can help keep your prostate healthy. Research has demonstrated that zinc deficiencies can lead to enlarged prostates and that zinc plays a role in the progression of prostate cells to malignancy. You can take 50 to 100 (or even up to 200) milligrams of zinc per day in tablet form to reduce an enlarged prostate.  Try taking saw palmetto berry, made from the berries of the Saw Palmetto plant. This supplement has received mixed reviews from users and the medical field, so talk to your doctor before you try it. Some research has suggested that it may assist in the cytotoxicity (cell death) of human prostate cancer cells.  Note that some research has suggested that taking certain supplements, such as vitamin E, or folic acid (a B vitamin) may even increase your risk of prostate cancer. Other studies has demonstrated that taking many (i.e., more than 7) supplements, even those marked for prostate cancer, may increase the risk of developing advanced prostate cancer. Although the relationship of prostate cancer and smoking has been long debated, tobacco use is believed to cause oxidative damage via free radicals to the body's cells, thus making the link between cancer and smoking plausible. In a meta-analysis of 24 studies, researchers found that cigarette smoking was in fact a risk for prostate cancer.

Canes are the lightest walking aid, and transfer weight to your wrist or forearm. They are generally used to aid light injuries or to improve balance. A cane cannot and should not sustain a large portion of your body weight. Canes come in a variety of forms in order to meet the needs of different users. Variables to assess include:  Grip. Some canes are meant to be held with your palm and fingers, while others can also provide support for your forearm. Whatever you select, make sure the grip feels solid and manageable, not slippery or too big. Shaft. The shaft is the long part of the cane, and can be composed of wood, metal, carbon fiber polymer and other materials. Some shafts are collapsible for easy portability. Ferrule. The tip or bottom of the cane is usually covered in rubber to provide better stability. Some canes have three or four ferrules at the bottom instead of just one; this enables them to carry more weight. Color. Although many canes are plain or unadorned, you don't have to settle for a pedestrian grey cane if you don't want to. You may even be able to find a customizable cane that matches your personality as much as it supports your frame. To select the proper length for a cane, stand up straight with your shoes on and arms at your sides. The top of the cane should reach the crease on the underside of your wrist. If the cane is a proper fit, your elbow will be flexed 15-20 degrees when you hold the cane while standing.  Cane length is usually about one half the cane user's height, in inches, wearing shoes. Use this as a rule of thumb. If your cane is too small, you'll need to bend over in order to reach it. If your cane is too big, you'll need to lean over onto your injured side in order to use it. Neither option is ideal. A perfectly fitted cane will keep you upright while providing support. It sounds counterintuitive, but it's true. If your left leg is hurt, you should be holding the cane in your right hand. If your right leg is hurt, hold the cane in your left hand.  Why is this? When...

Canine stroke typically occurs when blood vessels in the brain rupture (hemorrhagic stroke) or become blocked (ischemic stroke). The symptoms of canine stroke may appear quite suddenly, and may also be different from the typical signs of stroke in humans. Your dog may have had a stroke if it:  Walks in circles for no apparent reason. Holds its head tilted to one side. Turns the wrong way when called. Has difficulty balancing, standing, or walking. Experiences extreme lethargy. Has sudden problems with bladder and bowel control. Shows signs of loss of vision. Suddenly collapses. You may also notice your dog’s eyes moving rapidly from side to side as if following a moving object (nystagmus). Stroke is only one possible cause of nystagmus, but it is always a good idea to get this symptom evaluated by a vet. You can help your vet diagnose canine stroke and identify potential underlying causes more quickly by letting them know if your dog has any common risk factors for stroke. Stroke may be more likely to occur in elderly dogs and dogs with a history of:  Head injury or trauma. Heart disease. Diabetes. Kidney disease. Endocrine disorders, such as thyroid disease or Cushing’s disease. Brain tumors. Exposure to some types of poison. Certain parasites or tick-borne diseases, such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. If you suspect your dog has a stroke, take them to the vet immediately. Tell your vet about your dog’s symptoms and health history. In addition to examining your dog and observing their behavior, your vet may use imaging tests as an MRI, CT scan, or standard X-rays in order to confirm or rule out a stroke.  Your vet may perform other tests, such as a spinal tap, in an effort to check for other conditions and diseases with similar symptoms. The vet will be looking for bleeding, clots, inflammation, or masses in the brain. Treat any symptoms of stroke as a medical emergency. Early medical intervention may help ensure the best possible outcome for your dog.

Cantaloupes, also known as muskmelons, are available in dozens of cultivated and heirloom varieties, and grow best in hot weather, at least 2-3 months of consistent warmth. Cantaloupes love very sandy and loamy soil with good drainage, and a pH of around 6.  Varieties good for cooler climates include Hale's Best, Sarah's Choice, and Eden's Gem. Varieties noted for their flavor include Hearts of Gold, Ambrosia, Athena, and Honey Bun. Pay particular attention to the time to maturity listed on the seed package. Most of the time, you won't buy cantaloupe starts, you'll purchase seeds and start them yourself. On the seed package, pay particular attention to planting advice and information about keeping them safe, and pay particularly close attention to the length of time to maturation. If you want to save cantaloupe seeds from a particularly-delicious melon for planting, scoop them from the flesh and soak them for two days in cool water, then dry them thoroughly on a paper towel. Store them in a clean, dry jar in a cool, dark environment until you're ready to start your melons. While viable for around two years, it's usually best to plant seeds within the year. The most important part of planting and growing cantaloupe is warm soil and enough space. The vines need some room to spread out, regardless of whether you plan on trellising or letting the melons mature on the ground, so you'll need a fairly wide bed, depending on how large a crop you're going to plant. It's a common misconception and fear that cantaloupes will cross with other members of the same family, including cucumbers, other melons, squash, and pumpkins. They won't. Don't worry about planting your vining fruits in the same area of your garden plot. Most strange or bland-flavored cantaloupe is not the result of accidental cross-breeding, but the result of environmental factors or other problems. Lay compost or well-rotted manure evenly on your planting bed to create a rich feeding area for the cantaloupe. 6-8 inches of well-tilled soil is...

Card counters are notorious for playing blackjack for hours and hours, often without eating or enjoying the amenities available at the resort. Acting like a tourist just looking for a simple good time may take the suspicion off of you. You want to blend in. Busting out your three-piece Armani suit is not what you want to do when starting your card counting career at your local casino. Leave the Italian suede at home and act like a regular Joe. Dealers are trained to shuffle the deck upon an unexplainable increase in the bet. For this reason, only up your bet in small increments and at seemingly random points in the game. This may seem counter to making money, but if you get thrown out, you'll be making zero. No, card counting isn't illegal, but it is heavily frowned upon and you can be asked to never return. This is why we had you practicing with the TV, radio, and several messy, loud-mouthed children. If you are so busy counting your lips are practically moving, it's a dead giveaway.

Cardio exercises have been shown to be one of the most effective methods at reducing visceral fat.  It's recommended to include 150 minutes or 2 1/2 hours of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week to help reduce visceral fat levels.  Aerobic activities can include exercises like:  walking, jogging, swimming, biking or hiking. If you can do more than the recommended 150 minutes weekly, that may help you reach your goal faster. Weight lifting or resistance training is another important part of your exercise routine.  It's recommended to include one to two days of strength training each week.  Strength training includes activities like: weight lifting, Pilates or isometric exercises like push-ups or crunches. Note that spot training (trying to reduce fat in a specific area) does not rid the body of visceral fat. To lose fat, diet and cardio are key. However, the more muscle you build with strength training, the more calories you will burn. Keep your exercise routine fun and exciting by engaging in a variety of different exercises.  This can also help prevent over-training or over-using certain muscle groups.  If exercising in a gym is not your thing, try a dance class or team sport instead. You will be more willing to stick to it if it is enjoyable for you. Try incorporating some outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking or biking. Keep your end goal in mind to help motivate you to stick to your exercise routine. It's recommended adults sleep at least seven to nine hours each night.  Sleep is essential to your overall health and wellness.  Studies have shown that those who slept less than six hours nightly had higher levels of visceral fat. Make sure you go to bed early enough that you can get a full night's sleep.  Turn off all electronics — your TV, cell phone and computer — at least 30 minutes prior to going to sleep.  Turn off all lights in your room prior to sleeping.  Even minimal light can interrupt sleep patterns. Both smoking (or consuming any type of tobacco product) and drinking alcohol have...

Cardio exercises, like using the stair master, can help build the muscles around your hips and butt.  Incorporating the stair master as a form of cardio can help increase the size of your hips.  Studies have shown that the stair master recruits about 24% of your glutes and hip muscles. Use the stair master 1-2 times a week for at least 30 minutes per session. To make this exercise more challenging and target your hips and butt, lean forward when stepping and do not hold onto the side rails.  This forces your body to use your butt muscles more significantly. Also take large steps - almost as if you were taking two at a time.  This actives a large portion of those muscles. Another cardio machine that can help tone your butt, hips and increase the size of your hips is the elliptical.  It gives you the opportunity to really work those muscles.  The elliptical machine recruits about 36% of your butt and hip muscles.  This is slightly more than the stair master. Use the elliptical for at least 30 minutes.  However, to get a well rounded workout, try doing 15 minutes of the stair master plus 15 minutes on the elliptical. To help target your hip and butt muscles, really focus on pressing down your foot, heel first.  Also ease your hips backwards a bit, so that your butt is popping out a bit.  This position helps specifically target those muscles. Running is a great cardio exercise.  In general, it's a great way to target your butt and hips.  However, using a treadmill allows you to use the incline function making this machine a great way to increase your hip size.  Walking or jogging on the treadmill recruits the highest amount of your hip and butt muscles - almost 50%. Walk or jog on the treadmill for at least 30 minutes.  Again, doing a combination of multiple cardio exercises can help work your butt and hips in different ways giving a better overall workout. To really target those hips, increase the incline on your treadmill.  This places more stress on your glutes and hips and also give your bottom half more...

Cardio has a number of very specific health benefits, in addition to being an excellent way of burning fat and losing weight. It improves respiration, strengthens the heart muscle, reduces stress as well as the incidence of depression. Here are some cardio exercises that you can try to lose weight quickly:  Swimming Running Cycling Boxing Walking Team sports are great at motivating people to go the extra mile when it comes to working out. Much of the time, people lose themselves completely in the competitive aspect of sports, burning plenty of calories over several hours. Try joining a local intramural team, or make your own league playing with friends or co-workers. Here are some popular sports that are also great at burning calories.   Basketball. Running up and down the court is said to help burn between 812 and 946 calories per hour.  Soccer. Notorious for its grueling pace and non-stop running, playing soccer can help you burn between 740 and 860 calories per hour.  Ice hockey. A downright physical sport, hockey is expected to help you burn approximately 500 calories per hour.  Play football or flag football. Although it's difficult to say exactly how many calories you can burn playing football, a general estimate is that football players weighing 200 pounds burn upwards of 900 calories, while flag football players weighing 200 pounds burn upwards of 700 calories. Test your own determination and enduring by competing in an individual sport. Individual sports are, in many ways, a test of how far you're willing to go in order to achieve your goal. They're tests in which you often put your body on the line, but come away with something very tangible to show for it: Glory, or in our case, gutted calories.  Try rock climbing. Although it doesn't sound as intense a workout as basketball or soccer, rock climbing is indeed a calorie buster. Expect to burn between 810 and 940 calories for each hour of intense rock climbing.

This will help burn calories from fat in addition to boosting your cardiovascular health.  Aim to include at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity (where you can say a short sentence fairly easily) activity each week.  However, adding in vigorous activity (where you can't say more than one to two words at a time) burns more calories per minute.  You don't have to force yourself to pound the pavement in a dead sprint. Swimming, cycling, boxing, and tennis all offer effective alternatives to running and elliptical machines. If you're not quite ready for vigorous exercise, start walking briskly on a treadmill at an uphill climb, use a stationary bike, or get acquainted with an elliptical machine. You can do these at a level catered to your ability. To lose the most amount of fat, a combination of weight training and cardio is the most effective exercise plan. Although cardio burns more calories in the short-term, weight lifting or strength training helps build lean muscle mass that can increase how many calories you burn over the long-term.  Include at least 20 minutes of strength training at least two times a week.  However, the more time you spend doing strength training exercises, the more lean muscle mass you can build.  Gaining lean muscle can work wonders for your metabolism. Studies have shown that increased muscle mass helps increase your metabolism and burn more calories even when your body is at rest. Exercise does increase your metabolism, but interval training does so even more. High-intensity interval training has been shown to be more effective at burning calories from fat than other forms of exercise.  Interval training has also been shown to increase your metabolism and keep it raised for up to 24 hours after your work out.  Interval training is a short workout that alternates between short bursts of...

Carefully crack an egg and let the egg white fall into 1 of the bowls. Place the yolk in the other bowl. Separate the 2 remaining eggs so you have the whites in 1 bowl and the yolks in the other. Ensure that the bowl for the egg whites is completely clean and free from grease since you'll be beating the whites. You'll get the most volume if the bowl is spotlessly clean.

Carefully roll the cake in the opposite direction so that it lays flat again. Remove the dishcloth. Scoop some of the filling into the center of the cake and use a knife or spatula to spread it over the surface of the cake, stopping about 1/2 in from the edges. Add as much or as little filling as you'd like. Roll the cake back up in the same direction it was rolled before. Place it in the freezer to let it firm up for an hour. Place the cake on a cake plate or platter for serving. Dust the cake with more powdered sugar, or  make a sugar glaze to pour over the top. Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Carefully use sharp fabric scissors to cut it from the center rear of your jeans. Set it aside and hang on to it. You’ll need to replace it when you’ve finished with the alterations. Draw a vertical line in the spot where the belt loop used to cover. Make the mark as straight as you can. Use a ruler or other straight edge if you like. Button or zip them up so they fall as they would when you'd wear them. Stand in front of a mirror. Make a note of how much fabric you need to remove. Make sure you’ve left enough room to breathe. Use the chalk or pencil to mark the edges you've gathered on the waistband. At this point, your marks don't have to be straight. Make sure they're visible enough for you to see and long enough to complete the process after you've taken the jeans off. Unbutton or unzip them. Keep them inside-out. This will allow the outside to look professional after you're finished with the alterations. Measure half the width of the area to be removed from the mid-mark. Use the chalk/pencil to mark that location. Do the same on the other side. For example, if you need to remove 2 inches (5.1 cm), you’ll place a mark at 1 inch (2.5 cm) to either side of the middle. Trace a wedge- (triangle-) shaped form starting at the top rear of the waistband. Its length should measure about 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm). Connect it to the marks on either side of the mid-mark. Do this with either your tailor’s chalk or pencil. The length of the wedge can be longer or shorter, depending on how much you need to alter. This will be the area where the waistband meets the yoke (the area just below the waistband). Rip only about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) to either side of the wedge. This makes the sewing process run more smoothly. Place your scissors at the mid-mark and snip the entire band in half. You’ll probably cut through the label. Feel free to remove it if it’ll get in your way. Use your seam ripper  for this step. Carefully remove the center stitches from the waist to the bottom of the wedge. When you reach the...

Carefully wash the affected area with a mild cleanser and rinse with water. Pat the skin dry with a clean towel. Washing the chafed skin is especially important if you've been exercising or sweating a lot. You'll need to wash away the perspiration before treating the skin. Avoid rubbing the skin hard with a towel. You don't want to further irritate dry, peeling skin. Sprinkle powder over your skin. This should help to reduce your skin's friction. You can use talc-free baby powder, baking soda, cornstarch, or another body powder. The use of talcum powder has been brought into question since some studies show it may be a carcinogen, specifically for women if used in the genital areas. Use any kind of petroleum jelly, body balm, diaper rash cream, or product designed to prevent chafing over the skin to reduce your skin's friction. Several products are specifically designed to prevent chafing for athletes. Once you've applied an ointment, you may want to cover the area with a bandage or sterile gauze pad. If the area is very painful or bleeding, ask your doctor for a medicated ointment. You'll be able to spread it on the area much like petroleum jelly. Cool the chafed skin by applying an ice pack right after you finish exercising or begin to notice irritation. Make sure not to apply ice or an ice pack directly to your skin, since this can further damage your skin. Instead, wrap the ice pack in a towel or cloth and keep it near your skin for 20 minutes. This cooling sensation will give you immediate relief. Spread natural aloe vera gel directly from the plant onto the chafed area. You can also purchase aloe vera, but  make sure it has as few additives as possible. This will calm your skin. You may also want to drop a couple of drops of tea tree oil onto a cotton ball. Then, spread it over your skin. This can fight infection and help your skin heal faster. Create a soothing mixture of 2 cups baking soda and 10 drops of lavender essential oil. Then add this to a running bath of lukewarm water. Avoid soaking in very...

Carne asada is one of the most popular additions to burritos. Carne asada is a marinated skirt, flank, or flap steak that is then grilled over high heat and lightly charred. It is considered a more expensive cut but is still very forgiving on the grill. Like most Mexican meats, it is readily available in a carniceria. Although chicken is not a common meat ingredient for burritos in Mexico, it is increasingly popular in America. There is a ton of versatility to chicken. Here are just three ways to prepare it for your burrito:   Boiled and shredded. Shredded chicken is a more traditional Mexican preparation style.  Sautéed chicken. Sauteed chicken is generally dark-meat chicken and fried with a bit of oil and Mexican spices before being cut into smaller bits.  Chicken mole. Black mole is a perfect compliment to succulent chicken. Try it out if you've never tasted a variation of this dish that 99% of Mexicans have enjoyed. Carnitas is the Mexican name for slow-braised pork — specifically, Boston butt or picnic ham cuts. The meat is first slow-braised to break down the collagens and cook the meat, and then finished off fried or sautéed to develop a crispy texture. "Al pastor" means "in the style of the shepherd," and it probably originated as a Mexican interpretation of Lebanese shawarma. Today, it is a spicy way to cook pork, and it's absolutely delicious. Try this meat out in a burrito. Do it! Chorizo is a spicy pork sausage that comes in a casing. When sautéed, it is deeply aromatic and flavorful. Common in breakfast burritos but also in normal burritos. Barbacoa is the name from which we derive the English word for "barbecue." In modern Mexico, barbacoa refers to meats (usually sheep) cooked slowly over an open fire. Many burrito eaters may not be accustomed to more experimental cuts of meat, but they offer a nice break from the monotony of beer or chicken. Go to your local carniceria and talk with the butcher about picking up some of the following:   Lengua — cow's tongue  Cabeza — cow's head  Tripa —...

Carom billiards, of any variety, requires two people. It can be played with a third, but standard carom is with two. You'll need your standard billiards table -- 4 feet (1.2 m) by 8 feet (2.4 m), 4 1⁄2 feet (1.4 m) by 9 feet (2.7 m), 5 feet (1.5 m) by 10 feet (3.0 m), or 6 feet (1.8 m) by 12 feet (3.7 m) without pockets. This "without" pockets thing is pretty important. You could play on a pool table (pocket billiards), but you'll soon find that the pockets get in the way and could potentially ruin the game. Here's everything you need to know (and some things you may not) when it comes to the table:  Those diamonds are for you to use! If you know your geometry, you can use them to aim your shot. We'll cover that in the next section (strategy). The rail by where the first player breaks is called the short, or head, rail. The opposite rail is called the foot rail, and the long rails are called the side rails. The area behind which you break, behind the "head string," is called the "kitchen."  The pros play on heated billiards tables. The heat gets the balls to roll more smoothly. It's green so you can look at it for long periods of time. Apparently humans can handle green better than any other color. " That's where you each line up your ball near the baulk cushion (the short end of the table where you break from), hit the ball, and see who can return it closest to the Baulk cushion as the ball slows to a stop. The game hasn't even started yet and it takes skill! If you hit the other player's ball, you forfeit your chance of calling who starts. If you do win the lag, it's generally accepted that you go second. The player who breaks generally wastes their turn setting up the balls, not taking a strategic shot. You'll each need a cue stick, for starters (you had these for the lag, right?). Billiards cues are actually shorter and lighter than their pool counterparts, with a shorter ferrule (the white part near the end) and a thicker butt. Then you'll need three balls -- one white cue ball (heretofore called...

Carpenter ants are a group of ants belonging to the genus Camponotus, of which there are over 1,000 species. Carpenter ants live on every continent except for Antarctica and, as individual species, have a wide variety of differentiating features. However, certain traits common to the entire genus are useful to know when attempting to decide whether the ants in your home are carpenter ants or another variety. Some common traits to look for are:  Color: Usually red, black, or an intermediate shade Shape: Segmented with oval abdomen and boxy, thin thorax. The tops of carpenter ant thoraxes typically have a smooth, even curve, rather than an uneven or bumpy one. Size: Approximately 3/8”-1/2", depending on caste Antennae: Yes Wings: Typical worker ants do not have wings. However, relatively rare male drones may possess them. Carpenter ants can (and will) establish a nest inside or outside of any type of structure, but wooden homes are especially at risk because carpenter ants like to bore tiny tunnels into wood.  Unlike termites, carpenter ants don't eat wood - they only tunnel into the structure to create a nest. Because moist wood is easier than dry wood for carpenter ants to tunnel through, the interior locations of carpenter ants will often be near a moisture source, like a leaky sink or bath.  Sometimes, carpenter ants build a network of one or more satellite or parent colonies  outside a structure and travel between these colonies and their foothold indoors, entering the structure through small cracks or openings. In these cases, outdoor colonies will often be located in tree stumps, landscape timbers, wood piles or other sources of damp wood.  You can often locate carpenter ant trails between colonies in the early morning or early evening when the carpenter ants are foraging. There tracks are like a thin line. When carpenter ants tunnel, they can leave “frass", a substance resembling tiny wood shavings or sawdust, behind. Frass often contains dead insects. This can provide clues to their nesting location....

Carpenter ants are large black or dark brown insects with three body segments and six legs. They have bent antennae. The worker ants are wingless, while the reproductive ants have wings. They tend to walk in long trails. Termites, which are a far worse problem to have, have straight antennae and light colored bodies. If you're dealing with termites, read this article. Frass is a sawdust-like material left behind when ants bore into wood to make their nests. It will contains body parts and debris, but will basically look like a pile of light wood shavings. If you see this around your house, it's a telltale sign you've got an ant problem on your hands. Wood that is serving as a nest for ants will have slits or holes. You'll usually see frass scattered nearby as well. Ants like to nest in walls, hollow doors, cabinets, beams, and structural wood. Look for areas where the wood is slightly damp, since ants like to build their nests in moist wood. To find the nest, you'll need to lure the ants out with some bait, then trail them back to the nest so you can figure out exactly where they're hiding. Set out very small bits of honeydew or another sugary fruit near where you believe the nest to be located. When the ants take the bait, follow them back to the nest. You'll probably see them crawl into a space in the wall, a cabinet, or a door. Keep watching until you're sure where the nest is located.  If the nest is visible and accessible, you can get rid of the nest itself by moving to the next step. If the nest is hidden and difficult to reach, you're going to want to use the toxic bait to kill the ants. It will take about three days to go into effect.

Carpenter ants are usually brown or black. Some are a combination of black and orange. While  you need more than color to figure out if you have carpenter ants, noting color is a good place to start. As you observe ants, try estimate their size. Carpenter ants are not very big. Normally, you will see worker ants around your home. They are generally 3/8 to 1/2 an inch. However, in some areas carpenter ants tend to be smaller. In Minnesota, for example, some carpenter ants are only 3/16 of an inch. When noting size, look to other characteristic as well. The thorax refers to the segment of an ant just below its head. Carpenter ants have a rounded thorax. The upper surface should be evenly rounded throughout. The midsection of a carpenter ant should be pinched and slim in appearance. Their antennae will be bent slightly. Noting the antennae and waist helps distinguish carpenter ants from termites. Termites have straight antenna and a broad waist.

Carpenter ants do not eat wood, but they do burrow in it. They will burrow into wood furniture in your home, such as desks or cabinets. If you have a carpenter ant infestation, you may find piles of wood shavings just below wooden objects like desks. Gently tap against the walls in your home while pressing your ear against the wall. Tapping often disturbs an ant nest. If you have an infestation, you may hear a light rustling sound. While carpenter ants can nest anywhere in your home, they tend to prefer areas near window frames or water sources. It's not uncommon to find carpenter ants in a kitchen or bathroom, for example. Try tapping in these places to find nests. If you suspect you have an infestation, look for workers. Carpenter ants tend to come out after dark, so search for them near where you heard rustling in the early morning or late at night. Use a flashlight to scan for carpenter ants in these places.

Carry a bottle of water with you and sip it throughout the day to keep your mouth moistened. Sports drinks or even milk can work as well, but avoid anything that contains sugar or caffeine.  Try eating yogurt and cream because they create a protective layer over the mucosa that can fight dryness. If your mouth is driest after waking up, run a humidifier while you sleep. This keeps the air moist. You could also drink a glass of water or tea before going to bed Chewing and sucking both stimulate saliva production. Use sugarless gum or candy, since people with dry mouth are at high risk of developing cavities.  One clinical trial showed that green tea lozenges may be more effective than other hard lozenges. It's not certain which component of green tea causes this effect, so you may wish to try several brands. If you don't have either of these at home, try sucking on a piece of hard, uncooked pasta. There are several types of foods that can cause pain or mouth infections if you have dry mouth. Reduce these to a minimum, and only eat them with plenty of water:  Acidic foods such as tomatoes or citrus juice. These are especially bad, as they promote tooth decay as well as causing pain. Some people also have an increased saliva flow when they taste or see lemons. Salty and spicy foods, which can cause pain. Toast, crackers, and other dry foods should only be eaten when moistened with sauce or soup. Sugar has a high risk of causing tooth decay. Minimize your intake, and don't brush teeth right away after eating sugary foods. The sugar carries on attacking your teeth for 40 mins-1 hour. If you brush your teeth immediately after eating any meal you are brushing away thin layers of the enamel, leading to highly sensitive teeth. This means when you drink freezing cold water or eat freezing cold food or if you eat sugary sweets, your teeth will hurt. Only brush teeth 40 mins to 1 hour after your meals. There are many types of artificial saliva, including over-the-counter and prescription products. The extra moisture can...

Carrying excess weight causes your body to work harder, raising your body temperature and producing more sweat.  Skin folds caused by excess weight can harbor bacteria, so pay special attention to these areas when bathing. You sweat more when you consume these items, and as previously mentioned, sweat interacts with the bacteria on your skin to produce body odor.  Cutting back or eliminating these things from your diet will help you manage sweat volume, therefore keeping you smelling nice. While this tactic will not change your sweat volume, by protecting your clothing you'll be able to wear shirts and sweaters longer before they become smelly.  Shields are generally made from absorbent material that will keep sweat from clinging to your skin and becoming smelly.  You will also minimize the appearance of your sweat. A recent scientific study indicated that the "chemosignals," or body odor, of people in a happy mental state tended to induce a happy reaction in others exposed to their odor.  In other words, if you're a happy person, the message you send to others spreads that happiness — even your body scent smells happy!

Castor oil packs aid in the elimination and detoxification of the colon. Get a cotton or wool cloth, plastic wrap, a bath towel, a hot water bottle or heating pad, and castor oil. Pour the oil onto the cloth until it is well moistened. Lie down and place the cloth directly onto your abdomen. Place plastic wrap over all sides of the cloth to prevent staining of your clothes or bedding. Wrap the towel around your torso over the plastic. Then apply the hot water bottle or heating pad (set to medium) over the towel. Rest for 10-30 minutes.  After 10-30 minutes, remove the cloth and clean your abdomen. You may reuse the cloth without washing it for approximately 3 weeks. Make sure you don't fall asleep with the heating pad on as it could burn you or make you overheated. Enemas can be used to help with bowel cleansing during a detox program. When you do an enema, you inject fluid into your colon in order to stimulate a bowel movement and help flush the colon of impurities. Like laxatives, enemas can cause dependence if used too frequently, but they are safe and effective when performed properly during a short-term cleanse. Environmental toxins found in cigarette smoke, recreational drugs, pesticides, and herbicides can be counterproductive to your cleanse. It's important to stay away from these types of toxins in general, but especially during a colon cleanse.

Cat food comes in a vast array of types: dry food, semi-moist, and canned are the common types. Dry food is easily and efficiently stored, but cats go wild for the taste of semi-moist and canned foods. The latter types can add more fluid to the cat’s diet than dry foods. In general, food type comes down to owner preference. Occasionally, a cat with a medical condition might need one type over another. Consult your veterinarian for recommendations. Like other animals, cats have some specific nutritional needs. They are "obligate carnivores," which means they need animal proteins to avoid severe health consequences. Ask your vet for suggestions about a good quality food. Cheaper products may not provide enough nutrition to keep your cat happy and healthy.  Look for cat foods that list large amounts of animal meat like beef, chicken, turkey, or fish.  Also look for important amino acids like  taurine and arginine and fatty acids like arachidonic and linoleic acid.  Avoid feeding your cat human foods unless you have cleared the food with your veterinarian. Some human foods can make a cat severely sick or are even toxic to cats (e.g., chocolate). In general, cats are fed according to age, weight and activity levels. They prefer to eat frequent, small meals throughout the day. Ask your vet for recommendations on what and how to feed your cat if you have any reservations. Follow your veterinarian's recommendations closely and make sure your cat gets plenty of exercise, as obesity is one of the biggest health issues facing cats today. Obese cats are more likely to develop diabetes when they approach middle age. Extra weight also contributes to arthritis, heart disease, and other health problems in cats.

Cat hoarders are a type of unintentional abuser, because they keep their cats in overcrowded and unsanitary living conditions. Overcrowding stresses the cats and forces large numbers of cats to live in a space that they would not normally occupy. This leads to bullying and extreme competition for resources, even if food is freely available, because some cats will be more dominant than others and guard the food.  The hoarder's environment is also usually dirty, lacking a clean place for the cats to sleep, eat, and use the toilet. Hoarders are often reluctant to receive visitors and act secretively, but the cats are usually easy to spot through the window. Every pet cat has a right to shelter from the wind, rain, sun, and cold, as well as adequate food, fresh water, and sanitation.  If these basic principles are not met, it is considered abuse, and can be identified with the following signs:  A painfully thin cat may not have enough food to eat. A fainting or very thirsty cat may not have enough water or shade. An antisocial or aggressive cat may have been taken away from his mother prematurely. A cat that is shut in a small space with no ability to play or fulfill her need for movement. A cat that is deprived of companionship or forced to live in an environment with loud music or constant shouting. A cat that does not have a litterbox or access to the outdoors while the owner is away. The cat may have hair loss, open sores, or an angry red rash. The cat's coat may be excessively matted, or infested with fleas and ticks. This can cause the cat to scratch himself raw, or have lots of black, coal-like dust mixed in with her hairs ("flea dirt").  Dab the dirt with a damp cotton towel. A orangey-red stain is blood that indicates a flea infestation. A cat with a tick infestation has lots of grey "bubbles" stuck to his skin, which are the engorging ticks. The cat may have overgrown nails that dig into the pads and cause the pads to bleed, or weep pus from an infection. An untreated open wound on a neglected cat is at...

Catch the part of your nose above the tip and stretch it out as if you are removing your nose out of your face. It should not be painful, but simply stretch out your cartilage, stopping the sneeze. Use a tissue and blow your nose when you feel a sneeze coming on. It should clear your sinuses of what caused the sneeze in the first place. Using your thumb and forefinger, pinch your upper lip lightly and press it upward toward your nostrils. Your thumb should head toward one nostril and your forefinger toward the other, bunching up your upper lip slightly. Press your tongue behind your two front teeth, where the roof of your mouth meets the gum palate or alveolar ridge. Press hard with your most powerful muscles against your teeth until the tickling sensation dissipates. Find a small table anywhere in your home, hold your face about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the top of the table and stick your tongue out; the sneeze should subside naturally. It takes about 5 to 7 seconds. If it doesn't work, at least, whoever's around will get a good kick out of it! Tickle the roof of your mouth with the tip of your tongue when you feel the sneeze coming on. Continue until the urge to sneeze dissipates.  This should take 5 to 10 seconds. Spread the thumb of one hand away from the fingers. Using the sharp edges of the nails on the thumb and index finger of your other hand, pinch the flap of skin between the spread thumb and the fingers. This is a pressure point that some grab to stop a headache, and it can work with sneezes, too. With your thumb and forefinger, pinch between your eyebrows until you feel a substantial amount of pressure. With the side of your forefinger (handheld horizontally beneath your eyes), press into the cartilage on your nose, just beneath the bone of the bridge of your nose. This will pinch one of the nerves involved in triggering a sneeze. Wiggle your ear lobe gently as you feel a sneeze coming on.

Caterpillars do not require an elaborate enclosure to keep them safe and healthy.  A one-gallon jar, fish tank or reptile enclosure will all work fine.  Make sure the container has a cover and allows air to flow in and out.  Line the bottom of the container with paper towels to make it easy to clean.  Cheesecloth can be used as a lid for enclosures that don’t have a top.  Caterpillars cannot chew through cheesecloth but it allows air to travel in and out of the enclosure. If you are going to poke holes in a lid or enclosure to allow airflow, be sure the holes are very small or the caterpillar may find a way to escape through them. Caterpillars need sticks and twigs to crawl around on, and eventually, to hang off of as they enter their pupae stage.  Adding sticks and twigs will also make your caterpillar feel more comfortable and at home.  Make sure to place some of the sticks upright, leaned against the wall or top of the enclosure to give your caterpillar a place to climb. Place some sticks on their sides on the bottom of the enclosure as well. Once you have the enclosure prepared, give it a once over to make sure it looks safe for your new caterpillar friend.  Caterpillars can easily injure themselves or get trapped if an enclosure isn’t safely put together.  Caterpillars can easily get cut by sharp edges in their enclosure.  Make sure the areas around holes you punch are bent or sanded over so they can’t injure the caterpillar. Look at the ways your sticks are positioned to ensure the caterpillar couldn’t easily get trapped under or between them. If you have more than one caterpillar in your enclosure, it’s important that you provide each caterpillar with enough space to thrive.  Make sure there is at least three times the body size of each caterpillar in the enclosure. If you plan to use the same enclosure for the caterpillars until they hatch into butterflies, you need to ensure there is enough room for them to expand their wings when they emerge from their cocoons.

Caterpillars don't need to be housed in anything too fancy - a clean one-gallon jar or a small fish tank is perfect.  These will be easy to clean and will allow you to see your caterpillar easily.  Cover the container with a piece of cheesecloth or mesh and secure with a rubber band. This will allow proper ventilation. Don't just poke holes in a screw-on lid (as some sites advise) as the caterpillars may attempt to escape through these holes and injure themselves on the sharp edges. If you're housing more than one caterpillar, just make sure that each caterpillar has around three times it's body size in extra space to move around in.  This will prevent overcrowding. It's a good idea to line the bottom of your caterpillar's home with some paper towel or tissue paper. This will soak up any excess moisture and catch any caterpillar droppings (known as frass). You can then easily clean the container by whipping out the dirty paper and replacing it with fresh stuff.  However, you should only line your caterpillar container with paper towels if you know that you have a species of caterpillar which pupates above ground. If you have a species of caterpillar which pupates underground (or if you're not sure what species it is) you should line the bottom of the container with a two-inch layer of soil or sand. This way, the caterpillar has something to bury into. The soil or sand should be slightly damp - but not damp enough that it causes condensation on the sides of the container. Caterpillars are quite sensitive to humidity. It's a good idea to place a couple of sticks inside the caterpillars home, for a number of reasons:  Firstly, the caterpillar will have something to climb on, which it may need to do in order to reach it's food. Secondly, the caterpillar may choose to pupate hanging from the stick. As a result, you should make sure that the stick is in a secure position and not in danger of falling over. Thirdly, once the butterfly or moth emerges from the pupa it will need somewhere to hang upside down in order...

Caterpillars eat the leaves of the host plants you often find them on.  Take some of the leaves from the type of plant your particular caterpillar prefers and place them in the enclosure to serve as a food source.  Caterpillars will eat in their own time, so don’t worry if the caterpillar doesn’t begin eating as soon as you place leaves in the enclosure. If a caterpillar has more than one preferred host plant, add leaves from each to give the caterpillar a few choices. If you are unsure of a caterpillar’s host plant, add a few different kinds of leaves and see which one the caterpillar eats.  Use those leaves for food from now on. Caterpillars need water added to their enclosure on a daily basis.  Do not place a water dish in your enclosure as caterpillars may fall into them and drown.  Instead, simply spray some water onto the leaves each day and the caterpillars will drink from the droplets.  Instead of spraying water onto the leaves, you can simply rinse them before you place them in the enclosure, that will provide enough water. If your caterpillar begins to look very dry, try spraying more water into the enclosure. You will need to remove uneaten leaves on a regular basis.  Depending on the plant, leaves may last up to a week, or they may begin to dry out after only a few days.  You may also want to replace the paper towels you place at the bottom of the enclosure as bedding.  Replacing the bedding will remove caterpillar droppings and waste that could cause caterpillars to get sick. Remove old leaves any time you place new leaves in the enclosure. If your container does not allow enough room for your caterpillars to emerge from their cocoon and spread their wings, you will need to relocate the cocoons to a larger enclosure once they enter them.  Make sure the new enclosure has enough space for the butterflies to emerge from their cocoons and spread their wings. Be very gentle when removing the cocoons.  You can handle them with your hands as long as you are very careful.

Cats are always learning how to communicate with us. The more that you communicate with your cat, the faster he or she will learn.  Use a slightly raised tone of voice to indicate friendliness and a lowered tone of voice to indicate displeasure or aggression.  Using repetition will help your cat learn to anticipate consistent activities.  You may want to repeat a word such as sleep or bed each time you go to bed. Eventually, your cat will begin to associate the repetitive word sound with your actions and may even get to the bedroom before you. Cats can be trained to understand words, but they will instinctively understand nonverbal cues.  Creating a warm environment with clear expectations and few surprises can help strengthen your initial bond with a new cat.  If you blink slowly when making eye contact with your cat, she will usually respond by coming over to be stroked. This is seen as a very non-threatening gesture. Try not to stare directly into a cat’s eyes. It tells her that you're unfriendly or aggressive.  If your cat wants to go somewhere such as next to you on the couch, but he seems unsure, pat the space and use a soft, reassuring voice to invite him to join you. Be consistent in your intent and expression. A common blunder many pet owners make is to say "no" but pet the cat at the same time. This is very confusing to the cat. So for example, if you want your cat to go away, a firm "later" and a gentle push, without showing affection, will let the cat know that her presence is not desired at this time. Most cats will try two to three times to invade a person's space, often from different directions. When saying "Later", be patient. Never yell at or physically discipline a cat. This only frightens and angers the cat, and is counterproductive. Instead, to show displeasure, you can add a hard edge to your voice. The cat will pick up on that and sense unhappiness. Being consistent with the wording, tone, and other accompanying signals while giving your cat training commands will help both of you agree...

Cats do not like to use a dirty litter box and they may begin going to the bathroom elsewhere if their litter box is dirty when they need to go. If you are not cleaning your cat’s litter box every day, this may be the reason that your cat is urinating on the carpet.  In addition to scooping out your cat’s litter box every day, once per week you should also remove all the litter and clean the box with warm water and unscented soap or baking soda. When you are finished, dry the box and add fresh litter. Try a self-cleaning litter box to make it easier to keep your cat’s litter box clean. It is important to have one more box than the number of cats in your household. For example, if you have three cats, then you should have four litter boxes. If you only have two litter boxes and you have three cats, then the number of litter boxes may be the reason why your cat is urinating on the carpet. If your cat has to make a long trip to get to her litter box or if the litter box itself is difficult for your cat to get into and out of, that might be the reason why your cat is urinating on the carpet. Place your cat’s litter boxes where it is easy for her to get to them in a hurry, such as one upstairs and one downstairs.  Make sure that your cat will be able to see approaching humans or animals and easily get away. Cats don’t like to feel cornered Attend to the needs of older cats by providing boxes with lower sides, for easier entrance and exit to the litter box. Place litter boxes near or over where your cat tends to urinate on the carpet. Cats may avoid using the litter box because they dislike the smell or texture of the litter, or because the litter is too deep. A shallow bed of medium to fine grain clumping litter is best, but you can also try offering your cat different types of litter to see what she prefers.  Give your cat a choice of litter types by placing two litter boxes with two different types of litter right next to each other. At the end of the day, check to see which one your cat used. Provide a shallow...

Cats feel the cold more than humans so it will help your cat stay warm by providing great insulation from the cold, as well as a safe space to retreat and relax in. You can buy cardboard boxes in a variety of colours, floral, vintage or modern designs. This lets you choose one to suit your personal choice for your home décor. Alternatively you can simply use a cardboard box from the supermarket or local store.  This can be a fun project for a rainy day with your kids when your cat looks like they are in need of a nap. Before you begin take a minute to learn how to keep your cat safe as well as cosy by making their bed a cat-friendly zone. Cut the hole using scissors or with a craft knife. For an older, slower cat it makes sense to start the door-hole at ground level, but a younger cat or kitten who loves to jump will love a circular door-hole hole halfway up the front of the box.  Make sure the door-hole is large enough for your cat to climb in and out in comfort. If your cat loves to squeeze into things keep the hole relatively small. If your cat is sensitive to tight spaces then supersize the door! Does your cat like a quiet dark place? Do they like to look around and watch all the household bustle around them? Would they prefer the inside of the box to feel snug and dark, or sunny and light? Asking these questions will help to you design a bed perfect for your cat.  If your cat likes to look around them, think about cutting the top off the box as well as a door-hole – this will make sure that they don’t feel isolated. If your cat likes privacy then a good idea is to tape a soft piece of fabric over the door-hole as a curtain. To make a chic bed you could use the same fabric to line the box. Add a snack tube. Cut a hole in the top of box with scissors or a craft knife. Fit a paper toilet roll tube in it as a handy snack drop to ensure you don’t disturb their privacy. This can make a real difference in how quickly and happily your cat adapts. Their sensitive whiskers and paw pads mean that they love...

Cats have nutritional requirements that are vastly different from our own, requiring careful consideration and planning of the food they're receiving. Cats need a diet high in protein and fat. In fact, cats need twice the amount of protein that dogs need. Do not attempt to do this on your own — talk with your cat's veterinarian about getting a referral to a qualified veterinary nutritionist who can ensure your cat will be getting all the necessary nutrients.  Cats need approximately 85 percent meat, fat, offal, and bone in their diet, with vegetables, herbs, and roughage making up only 15 percent of feline dietary requirements.  Formulating a correctly balanced diet is very difficult and something even veterinary nutritionists struggle with. If you get it wrong, the cat won't show signs for days and weeks, but problems develop months or years down the line. Don't change your cat's diet without consulting a nutritionist and allow yourself to have a false sense of security that your cat seems fine and healthy. A healthy diet for a cat will ensure the following: clean water (available at all times and easily accessible), protein (most cats won't eat food containing less than 20 percent protein), fat (cats need fat for energy, essential fatty acids, fat-soluble vitamin intake, and taste), vitamin A (cats need a good dose of this vitamin. It is found in liver, eggs, and milk but these ingredients need to be used with caution), vitamin B (Cats need vitamin B and will readily eat brewer's yeast if there are signs of deficiency, such as loss of appetite for a few days or a fever), vitamin E (Vitamin E is needed to break down unsaturated fats in the cat's diet), and calcium (This is an important part of building and maintaining your cat's bones). Taurine is an amino acid that is also essential to a cat's diet. Sufficient amounts of taurine usually exist in commercial cat foods (both dry and wet), but your cat may be at risk of a taurine deficiency if you feed it homemade foods or a vegetarian diet. Taurine deficiency...

Cats have sensitive ears that can be hurt by loud music, loud television, or other sources of noise. Comfort a cat that's frightened by loud noises outside the house, particularly fireworks or thunderstorms. Take her into an interior room or close the curtains, put the TV or radio on low, and make sure the cat has a "bolt hole" where she can hide until the ordeal is over. Some cats who are bonded to their owner will benefit from companionship and reassurance (such as the cat who bolts under the comforter during a thunderstorm: she gets comfort from the owner's scent on the bedsheets). However, a truly terrified cat will be too traumatized to accept comfort and will consider human interference a further threat. As a rule of thumb, if the cat backs away from you, growls, hisses, or swishes her tail, leave her alone. In fact, look for a way to make her bolt hole more secure, such as putting a towel over the box she is hiding in so that the front is screened and she can't be seen. A lack of safe places can also stress a cat. If she feels exposed because there are no high perches where she can safely watch the comings and goings, or no dark cupboards to hide in, this in itself is a stress. All it takes to correct this is the simple provision of a cardboard box in a quiet corner, or a tall tower or scratching post. Cats are very sensitive to changes to their environment. While some situations are hard to avoid (like moving apartments), try to provide as calm an atmosphere as you can. Arguing and yelling not only stresses you out, but your cat as well. If you're going through transitions at home, be sure to tune in to your cat and take all the measures you can to make it as smooth as possible for her. Always provide a safe place where she can hide. Cats can't understand the connection between yelling or hitting and something the cat is doing wrong, so trying to discipline a cat this way only makes the cat anxious and afraid. Instead, use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior in your cat. Every time she...

Cats learn about their environment via scent. Before you bring your cat home, give her a scent introduction. Swap scents by taking a t-shirt with your smell on it to her for her to use as bedding. Likewise, take a blanket she already uses at the shelter and put it in the bed of your established cat. This allows him to get used to the idea of another cat on his patch but without her physical presence challenging him. This machine gives off a synthetic version of a feline pheromone, which helps the cats feel secure and decreases stress levels. This helps to chill the established cats so they are more relaxed with any changes. There is a canine equivalent called Adaptil, containing canine pheromones. If you have a dog and are introducing a new cat, the Adaptil will help him feel safe and calm. To introduce a new cat, create a safe room for her. She will be overwhelmed by the sights, smells, and sounds of her new environment, make your new cat feel at ease with one room of the house that is just hers. This way, she can feel safe and take time to adjust to her new environment. Here's what you should put in the safe room:  Ample food and water. A litter box. Position the litter box as far away from the food and water as possible so the cat has a distinction between the eating and bathroom areas of the home. Toys. Put in toy mice, dangly toys, little balls, feathered toys, and any other toys that can keep the cat active and entertained. A scratching post. Cats naturally love to scratch things to mark their territory, so it will help her feel more comfortable in her new environment and will keep her from scratching your furniture. An old blanket, bed, or toy from her previous home. This will make the cat feel at home and give her a designated sleeping area.  Plenty of hiding places. She will want to hide to help her feel safe, which builds her confidence and will help her feel bold enough to explore. Cats tend to like thinly granulated litter, so make sure to bring home litter that doesn't overwhelm your cat with its...

Cats need their own private space to feel happy. Don’t always try to interact with them and let them do their own things. Let the cat have a quiet space in the house where the children will not harass it.  A cat’s personal space doesn’t have to be big. Cats love confined spaces, such as cardboard boxes, and will happily use them to take a nap.  Try to grow a plant of cat grass near your cat’s private space. This special plant helps their digestive system and doesn’t trigger vomiting like garden grass. You can buy a basket for your cat at the pet shop. Look for one model that you can clean easily as it can get dirty or smelly over time. Let your cat look at a window. They love observing birds and people. Cats are independent animals and will cope well when you’re at work. You can, however, make sure that they have enough toys to keep busy. You can buy cat toys in most pet shops and supermarkets. When you come home, don’t forget to play! Cats need exercise.  You can also do your own cat toys. Attach a piece of string on a door handle and let the cat go wild. Alternatively, you can offer your cat a ball. Your animal will chase it as a mouse. Don’t forget to provide a scratching post or else your couch will suffer. Use a laser or a flashlight and point it at the floor. Your cat will try to catch the light and will get very excited. Cats work well on their own but are also happy to have company. You could consider taking another cat if you work long hours and if you have the space and the energy. Don’t forget to neuter them or you might end up with a feline army! To introduce a new cat, use the following steps:  The resident cat will often display hostility at first. Isolate the new cat at first and let it get used to the room. Your old cat will not see it but will be able to scent it. Introduce your cats at mealtime but put the feeding stations at opposing sides of the room. Separate them after the meal and start again for the next days. After a few more days, let them meet but always monitor the situation. If...

Cats rarely need full baths.   Regular brushing and spot cleaning are usually sufficient to keep cats clean. If your cat gets into something sticky, rolls around in dirt, has a particularly nasty episode of diarrhea or does something else to foul large areas of his coat, however, you will need to bathe him. If you don’t want to bathe your cat yourself, you can take him to a professional groomer. Your cat won’t get as stressed in the tub if you choose a time when he is calm and mellow. Try playing with your cat for a while to tire him out and then start the bath. If your cat seems agitated, wait until he calms down before trying to bathe him. Before you get your cat into the tub, you may want to trim his claws. If your cat protests during the bath, you won’t get scratched as much. Make sure that you do not trim them down too far, just trim the ends so that they are not so pointy. If you trim too far down, you may strike the quick, which will be very painful for your cat and may bleed as well. If you are nervous about trimming your cat's nails, you can take your cat to a groomer or to your veterinarian to have them trimmed. Running a brush over your cat will help remove loose hair and debris. It’s important to remove mats as well, since shampoo could get lodged in a mat. Have a helper on hand to restrain the cat or hand you necessary items. Bathing a cat alone is very challenging, so don’t try to do it on your own unless you have no other option. Before involving the cat in the process, gather necessary supplies so you are prepared once you get your cat in the tub. These include:  Cat shampoo: Don’t use dog shampoo. A plastic cup or pitcher Towels Washcloth Rubber mat You can either bathe your cat in the tub or a sink if your sink is big enough. Place the rubber mat in the sink or tub. This mat will prevent the cat from slipping. Fill the tub with three to four inches of lukewarm water. Place the cat in the tub, and have your friend hold onto the scruff of your cat's neck. Then, use the cup or pitcher to...

Caustic soda, or sodium hydroxide, is an extremely strong chemical that will dissolve most blockages clogging up your sink.  Caustic soda can be purchased at most hardware stores. Dilute 3 cups (750 ml) of caustic soda with 3/4 gallon (3 L) of cold water in a large mop bucket. Mix the chemical and the water together with a wooden spoon. Do not use any container or utensil you plan to use for food later on. Do not stir the water and caustic soda together with your hands. The water and caustic soda should begin to "fizz" and heat up as you mix the two together. Carefully pour the solution directly into the clogged sink drain. Let sit for 20 to 30 minutes without touching it. Boil 1 gallon (4 L) of water on the stove and use it to flush the drain. Repeat the procedure if necessary. If you are connected to a public sewer system and not to a well or septic tank, you can use bleach to both clean and deodorize a clogged sink.  Pour 1 cup (250 ml) of undiluted bleach directly down the sink drain. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Turn your sink on and let water rush into the drain. Make sure that the water is as hot as possible and as strong or rapid as possible. Let it run up to 5 minutes. If your sink begins to back up and fill with water, turn the water off and let it drain before attempting to unclog the sink again. Do not use bleach if you use a septic tank. Bleach kills bacteria living in the tank, but the bacteria it kills eats solid waste, thereby preventing the lines from clogging. Commercial drain cleaners can be purchased at most grocery stores, and there are caustic, acid, and enzymatic cleaners available.  Read the label carefully to determine which cleaner is right for your particular type of blockage. For instance, some cleaners might work better in bathroom sinks, while others might work better for kitchen sinks. Follow the instructions on the label carefully when you use it. Caustic drain cleaners rely on chemical reactions caused by hydroxide ions. Acid drain cleaners use a chemical reaction between...

Cedar has anti-fungal properties and is often used to deodorize clothes. The insoles would stay in your shoes, while the chips would need to be inserted at night and removed in the morning. Odor-controlling insoles can be cut to fit the shape of your sole, and come in several different colors. These work well for sandals, high heels or open-toed shoes. Secure the insole with small strips of double-sided tape or dabs of rubber cement. These will help the insole stay in place while keeping it easily removable. Linings containing silver are anti-microbial and can inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Simply place a couple of dryer sheets in your shoes while you use them. These instantly deodorize the smell.

Ceiling fans are very effective because they move the air around the room and create a draft. They also pull air up when circulating it, and since hot air rises, this will help to cool the room down faster. If the ceiling fan isn’t already on in the room, turn it on immediately. If your ceiling fan has settings of low, medium and high, put the fan on the highest setting.  Check the ceiling fan blades to see if they’re rotating counterclockwise (if viewing them from below) – if they aren’t, adjust the settings. Setting the blades to rotate counterclockwise and turning the fan on a higher speed will substantially increase airflow. Table fans, box fans, oscillating fans and mounted fans will all help to contribute to air circulation in the room and create a wind-chill effect. A medium-sized oscillating fan placed on a desktop is very efficient at moving around stagnant hot air quickly. Keep multiple fans set up in the room during the summer so you can turn them on as soon as you walk in. Turn on your bathroom ventilation fan, too. The ventilation fan can help suck hot air out of the room, just as it does when you take a steamy shower. Create a makeshift air conditioner by filling up a shallow pan, tray or mixing bowl with ice and positioning it in front of one of the fans. This will get cold, slightly misty air circulating the room very quickly. You could also use icepacks or, if you’re all out of ice, you can effectively improvise with something similarly cold, like a bag of frozen vegetables. Position the bowl at a slight angle, tilted up, if the fan doesn’t seem to be blowing across the ice effectively. The fan will pull hot air out of the room and transfer it outside. It will also bring in cooler air. Put the fan in the window that gets the most shade – this will provide the coolest intake air. Close any other windows nearby tightly. Open a few windows on the other side of your house. This will create a house-wide draft and cool things down quickly.

Celebrate her triumphs and be patient with her through her failures. Remember, the goal is for her to want to use the potty by herself, not for her to use it out of fear of punishment.  The occasional reward allows your little girl to know just how proud you are and may make her feel more determined to continue pressing forward with her training.  You can reward her every so often by allowing her to watch a video or by giving her stickers or small treats after successful potty trips. If your daughter has an accident, gently remind her that pee and poo go in the potty, but don't yell or reprimand her. Once your daughter is toilet-trained during the daylight hours, begin checking her diapers in the morning to monitor whether or not she is still going at night. If her diapers start looking dry, she is likely ready. Additionally, if she expresses a desire to try wearing normal underwear at night, allow her to try doing so. If her body is not ready yet and she continues wetting the bed for a few nights in a row, switch back to diapers for a little while longer.

Celery plants are heavy feeders that require rich soil that must be fertilized frequently. To keep your celery plants happy, fertilize with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer every few weeks from planting to harvest. The most important aspect of caring for your celery plants is making sure that they are always well-hydrated. If they do not get enough water, celery plants will become shriveled and bitter to the taste. Blanching consists of shielding the celery stalks from the sun to achieve a milder flavor. Cover the stalks with newspaper, a milk carton with the top and bottom removed, or any other type of paper or cardboard. You can use twine to tie the celery stalks to keep them from sprawling.  While blanching is not required, it will alter the taste and color of your celery. Additionally, blanched celery is less nutritious than unblanched celery. Most people prefer the sweeter taste of blanched celery. Be aware that some varieties are "self-blanching" and don't need to be blanched. You can begin to harvest the stalks when they reach 8 inches (20 cm) in height. Make sure to begin your harvest from the outside stalks and work inward. This allows the innermost stalks to continue to mature.  Once mature, celery can sit in the ground for about 1 month as long as the soil remains a cool temperature between 60° and 75° Fahrenheit (16-24° Celsius). The longer the celery grows and the darker it becomes, the richer in antioxidants and more nutritious it will be. However, it will also become more tough and fibrous.

Celiac disease is an immune reaction that progressively destroys the nutrient-absorbing villi in your small intestine. Your body may not absorb nutrients properly, and your small intestine can become permeable, meaning that its contents leak into your gut. Celiac disease can be identified with a blood test and an intestinal biopsy.If tests for both gluten allergy and celiac disease are negative and you suspect you may be sensitive to gluten, a gluten intolerance or sensitivity may be the underlying cause. Unfortunately, there is no test to confirm or rule out gluten sensitivity. It has to be diagnosed on the basis of your symptoms. Although the tests cannot confirm a sensitivity to gluten, they can confirm the presence of some conditions that commonly occur as a result of gluten intolerance. Some related conditions include:  Low iron levels Fat in the stool Poor dental health (problems with the teeth) due to malnourishment Poor calcium absorption Delayed growth in children Be on the lookout for hidden sources of gluten in salad dressings, condiments, soups, sauces, and even cosmetics. Even vitamins and supplements can contain gluten. Always check ingredient labels on all food and cosmetic products. Use the journal to note any changes that occur over the course of the diet. Revisit the symptoms pages and notice whether any of the listed symptoms have improved or disappeared since eliminating gluten from your diet. Pay attention to how you feel when you begin eating gluten again. If vanished symptoms return after you reintegrate gluten and you feel worse than you did when you were on the elimination diet, you may have confirmed a gluten intolerance. If you confirm your gluten intolerance after re-introducing gluten into your diet, you will have to re-eliminate gluten-containing foods from your diet. Learning which foods are safe for you when you have gluten intolerance or sensitivity can be a trial and error process. Keep a food diary and record every meal or snack (including beverages). If you ever experience...

Cell phones, MP3 players, or camcorders that you don't use anymore are all fair game. This helps as you can make money. They are actually still valuable! Just be sure that you perform a factory reset on the device before selling it. If you don't do that, the buyer will be really confused with weird calls and songs they may not like. You can sell them on websites like eBay or Amazon or even to your friends. Buy multi-packs of candy for 50 cents and sell them at school, a candy stand, etc. for $1 each. If you manage to sell twenty in a day, you'll make $10. Alternatively, you could make a lemonade stand and sell 1 glass for 50 cents or $1. Because this is a sales job, it means you have to go up to people and talk them into visiting a store or buying a product/service.
