The easiest way to feed butterflies in a habitat is with Gatorade or another already-prepared juice drink. As is, Gatorade and fruit juice have the sugar and water needed in order to provide nutrients to your butterflies. Use these for food if you want to be able to feed your butterflies quickly and easily. If you're willing to put a little more time and effort into your butterfly food to ensure maximum nutrition, make your own food solution. Mix 3 ounces (88.7 ml) of water or Gatorade with 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of simple syrup. Then, add in 6 drops of soy sauce. To make your own simple syrup, add 1 cup (240 ml) of sugar to 1 cup (240 ml) of water. Almost bring the mixture to a boil, but remove it from heat just before it starts to boil. To make the food appealing to your butterflies, you'll need to serve it in a proper container. The smaller and shallower the container is, the better. Opt for a saucer or bottle lid if possible. Simply fill the dish or container, lower it into the habitat, and close the habitat. You can also use a small cup or a candle votive, but since these options are deeper, make sure to fill the container with marbles for the butterflies to stand on while they eat. Fruit serves as an adequate food source for all different types of butterflies, so this might be the best option if you have a variety of species in your habitat. Take a skewer or a piece of bamboo and slide chunks of fruit onto it. Then, set it in the habitat. If the fruit won't stay on the skewer, secure a bread twist tie underneath the bottom piece of fruit. Butterflies instinctually gravitate towards bright areas, so they'll have an easier time finding the fruit if it's located in a brighter part of their habitat. Place fruit skewers horizontally on the butterflies' habitat floor or set them up vertically in a corner in the brightest part of the habitat. They should be able to find and consume the food themselves.

One-sentence summary -- Use Gatorade or fruit juice as an easy solution. Make your own creative butterfly food solution to get the best results. Serve liquid food in a small, shallow container for easy access. Provide skewered fresh fruit when you have several butterfly species. Place fruit in the brightest area of the habitat.


Once you have learned how to calculate your net carb intake you need to actually track how much you are consuming to make sure you stick to the Atkins plan. There are a number of different techniques and technologies that can help you to do this. One good option is to download a carb counting app onto your smartphone.  It has the advantages of being portable and something you keep with you all day. Depending on the app you can also track other nutritional information. It will do some of the calculations for you and give you a clear and up-to-date count of your net carb consumption. Another digital option is to download a tracker onto your PC or laptop. Like the app this will do a lot of the calculating for you and is likely to contain a variety of other features to help you monitor what you eat more fully. Using one of these programs can often help you to gain a fuller picture of your diet. Unlike a smartphone app, it is not something you will carry around with you all day, so you won’t be able to keep it completely up-to-date during the day. A nice low tech version is simply to write down your net carb intake by hand as you go through the day. You could buy a special notebook and keep it with you. Jotting down your progress can be a good way to really take ownership of your diet plan and have a sense of achievement as you stick to it.  You won’t get as much analysis and extra information if you write it down yourself. But it could be nice to look back through the notebook after you have completed the diet to remind yourself of your progress.

The general tendency of a kicker is to shoot the ball opposite the goalie. Knowing this tendency can help you more effectively anticipate where a kicker will shoot the ball.  One study showed that almost 70% of penalty kicks taken went to the side opposite the kicker's dominant foot: right-footed players kicked to their left and the keeper's right and vice versa. This mimics the natural swing of the foot across the body because it is difficult to shoot to the opposite corner using an instep kick. If you can’t read the player or the ball, it’s best to assume that you should go right for a right-footed kicker and left for a left footer. Just as it’s important to pay attention to the other team’s players during the game, it’s also wise to study them before you meet them on the field. This will give you an idea of how they generally play and also highlight any playing patterns by individual players.  Watch videos of the other teams matches to acquaint yourself with their playing style. If you are near your opposing team or cannot get a video of them playing, visit one of their games. Studying the motions of a player on a computer can also improve your ability to read the movements a shooter makes because these give away clues about how they will play. Knowing how to anticipate any body’s movement is something that can help any goalkeeper defend shots on goal. By learning the principles of kinesiology, or the study of movement, you can become a much more effective goalie, especially against penalty kicks. Most colleges offer courses in kinesiology, though you can also find online courses at places like the University of Utah or Sam Houston State University.
