The wicketkeeper is the centerpiece of the fielding team. Make sure you keep ahead with the over rate, especially when you are playing T20 cricket where time is more of an issue. T20 cricket is a variety in which each side only gets 1 innings of 20 overs. Matches typically last only about 3 hours. Use your anticipation, concentration, and catching technique to stop runs when the bowler unintentionally makes a wild or wide delivery. Work together to prevent as many runs as you can and get your team in the lead. Try to make the batter feel that even if the bowler delivers a poor throw, you will always be there to catch it. That way, they are more likely to swing for every delivery and make a mistake that lets you get them out. The slips are the fielders behind the batsman on the offside of the field who are there to catch any balls beyond your reach. Decide if you need 2 or 3 slips, then help position them far enough away that you have room to dive and move but close enough that they will catch balls you cannot reach. This will take some practice to get the hang of, but once you know what your limitations are you will be able to help the slip fielders get into the perfect alignment to provide the extra coverage you need. Don't let anything get you down, not even a dropped catch. Fielders mostly take after the wicketkeeper's reactions, so it's very important to always keep up your energy levels and cheer the team on. This is especially important when your team is under pressure. As the center of the fielding team, you can influence everyone's performance by staying positive and offering encouragement.

Summary: Set the tempo for the fielding on your team. Work together with the bowler to prevent runs. Help align the slip fielders on your team. Encourage your teammates.

Rubber-soles are more likely to pass electric charges through your body, from your feet all the way to your hair. To avoid this, opt for leather-soled shoes instead. This way, you'll avoid the small electric shock that comes along with static. Synthetic materials are much more likely to contract a charge, which then in turn produce lots of static. By choosing clothing made of fabrics such as cotton, silk, or wool, you'll be less likely to have static in your hair. For example, you could try sleeping with your hair tied in a silk scarf or using a silk pillowcase to protect your hair from static. Stay away from synthetic materials like polyester or nylon.

Summary: Trade rubber-soled shoes for leather-soled shoes. Change into clothes made with natural fabrics to reduce static charge.

Mushroom kits normally have all of the materials that you need for planting and growing mushrooms, and are great for beginners. They usually contain manure, substrate, trays, and a spray bottle for watering the mushrooms. Growing kits tend to have specific directions that may differ from traditional mushroom growing methods. Be sure to read the package carefully and follow the directions. Some kits already contain the spores for growing a specific type of mushrooms, while others just contain growing trays and appropriate substrate. Select trays that are about 14 by 16 inches (36 by 41cm) and at least 6 inches (15cm) deep. To start out, only plant in one tray, which will continue to produce mushrooms for 3-6 months. Trays can be made of plastic, metal, or wood, depending on what you have available. As you become a more experienced cultivator, you can grow multiple trays at once and have an almost constant supply of mushrooms! Button mushrooms require a growing environment that contains a lot of nitrogen. Use your own compost and purchase manure, like horse or cow manure, at the store, or buy both if you don't have a compost pile. If you plan on growing a lot of mushrooms, you can make this mixture in a large bucket and cover it after you use some of it. Otherwise, only mix as much as you'll need to fill one tray. Your manure and compost mixture will produce a strong smell, so make it in a well-ventilated area. Pour the mixture into the trays carefully, leaving at least 1 inch (2.5cm) of space at the top of the tray. Make sure the soil is level and is spread evenly across the tray. White button mushrooms tend to spawn well in warm compost, so don't worry if the compost is still hot when you place it in the tray.

Summary: Consider buying a kit if it's your first time growing mushrooms. Buy large trays for growing the mushrooms. Make a mixture of equal parts compost and manure. Fill the trays with 6in (15cm) of the growing mix.

Because the wax will need to thoroughly adhere to any hair on your underarms, you need the hair to be at least .25 inches (0.6cm) in order to use waxing as your method of hair removal. If your hair is too short, give it another few days before attempting to wax. Trim down any hair that is more than an inch long to prevent any complications or difficulties when waxing. If the hair under your arms is very long, it could make waxing more painful than necessary. Trimming especially long underarm hair prior to waxing can help alleviate this. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub, or simply a washcloth to exfoliate your underarms. This will remove any dirt from your pores and help prevent ingrown hairs when you are ready to wax. Try making your own gentle exfoliating scrub with a tablespoon of baking soda and enough mineral water to make a thin paste. Use your fingertips or a washcloth to gently rub the paste against your underarms, then rinse with warm water. Wax will not function properly if you apply it to wet skin. Before applying the wax, make sure your underarms are completely dry. This means no leftover water from exfoliating, and no sweat. You can even try dusting a little baby powder onto your underarms to ensure they are entirely dry. A bit of baby or talcum powder can also help alleviate a bit of the pain associated with waxing, so even if your armpits are dry, consider dusting on a light layer for your own comfort. Some waxing products can be applied cold or at room temperature, while others need to be warmed to be used. Whichever product you're using, follow all directions on the bottle or box. This will ensure the product works its best. Make sure you stretch your arm up over your head and keep the skin of your underarms as tight as you can. This will help you make sure you apply the waxing strip evenly over your entire underarm, and insure you are able to wax away all hair. After you wax your underarms, you will want to soothe the skin. You can use a normal moisturizer, specifically one with soothing ingredients like aloe. Or, you can use a product made specifically for use after waxing. These products are available at drugstores. They not only soothe the skin after waxing, but can also help protect your freshly waxed follicles from infection or further irritation. Directly after waxing and prior to applying any cream or gel, you can also try putting an ice cube against your freshly waxed skin. The ice can numb the skin and soothe it instantly after waxing to prevent extra pain.
Summary: Make sure hair is at least a quarter of an inch long. Exfoliate your underarms before waxing. Make sure your underarms are dry. Follow the directions on your chosen waxing product. Use an after-waxing lotion or gel.
