This is usually played against overpitched deliveries.  Stand on a balanced back foot. Place the front foot up to the toes (padded portion) vertical or upright. Hold the bat horizontally close to the pitch by the phase of the bat in an opposite manner. Move the  bat to the offside so that the ball is struck the instant it touches the ground. This shot was made famous by Kevin Pietersen in 2008. In this shot, a batsman changes his handedness and posture to adopt a stance the mirror image of his traditional handedness while the bowler is running in to bowl. As a fielding team cannot change the placing of fielders while the bowler is in his run-up, the fielding side is effectively wrong-footed with the fielders out of position. This shot's legality was confirmed by the ICC in 2008.The shot is risky because a batsman is less proficient in the other handedness and is more likely to make a mistake in the execution of his shot.

Summary: Hitting a reverse sweep. Try a switch hit shot.


Pour your desired amount of milk into a glass jar that has a tight-fitting lid. Use 2% or nonfat milk for the best foam. Use any size glass jar, but make sure your milk fills no more than half of it, as it will take up more space when frothed. Screw on the jar lid tightly and shake the jar as hard as you can for 30 to 60 seconds. It should look frothy and approximately doubled in volume. Take off the lid and put the jar into the microwave for 30 seconds to set the foam and make it warm for adding to your espresso. Use a spoon to hold back the foam at first, allowing the portion of the milk that is still liquid to pour into your espresso. Then spoon the thicker milk foam on top of your espresso and milk. For a cappuccino, you want about the same amount of warm milk as milk foam added to the espresso, and for a latte, you want twice the amount of warm milk as milk foam. To achieve this, you may need to warm up more milk in the microwave to get the right amount.

Summary: Pour milk into a jar. Put on the lid and shake. Microwave for 30 seconds. Add the milk foam to your espresso.


You want to store your tadpoles in an aquarium or a similar type of container. The container should ideally be made of glass, although boxes made of foam or plastic products can also suffice. You should never store tadpoles in a metal container.  Shorter, wider containers are better than longer, narrower containers. Make sure the container has a lid. If the container comes with a ventilation system, make sure this system also has a lid. Tadpoles can swim into ventilation ducts and die. Unlike fish or other aquatic animals, tadpoles do not require a tank with a bottom lined with mold or rocks. You can leave the bottom of a fish tank bare and fill it with water.  Keep the tadpole tank in an area in your home that is 95% shaded. When the water gets murky, remove the tadpoles using a jar or net. Set them aside in a smaller container and clean the tank. Tadpoles need clean water or they will not survive. Make sure you're using fresh tap water. Do not clean a tadpole tank with chemical cleaners, as even small traces of chemicals can harm a tad pool. If you have a water filtration system, like a Brita Filter, it's a good idea to use this to filter going into your tadpole tank. Trace amounts of chlorine are sometimes found in tap water. Even a small amount of chlorine is deadly to a tadpole. Pet stores do sell flakes for tadpoles, which you can use following the feeding suggestions on the package. However, if you can't find tadpole flakes, you can use spinach or lettuce to create tadpole food in your kitchen.  Boil spinach or lettuce for 10 to 15 minutes and then drain it well. Use gloves or oven mitts when draining to avoid burning your hands. Chop your boiled lettuce or spinach into tiny pieces. Put a tablespoon per tadpole in your tank once a day. For example, if you have four tadpoles, you should feed them four tablespoons of the lettuce or spinach once a day. A tadpole is a living thing. You should not keep tadpoles as pets if you lack the resources to care for them long term. If you do not want the time and commitment that goes along with tadpoles, re-release them into the wild.

Summary: Pick the proper container. Create the right habitat. Make sure your water is safe for your tadpoles. Feed your tadpoles a healthy diet. Release tadpoles if you cannot care for them.


The third eyelid is white or light pink. If it is protruding, it will come out and at least partially cover the cornea (clear covering of the eye). As long as the third eyelid is covering less than 50% of the cornea, your cat will still be able to see fairly well.  Haw syndrome is a neurologic condition in which both third eyelids protrude.  Horner’s syndrome, another neurologic condition, can also cause third eyelid protrusion.  The third eyelid has its own tear gland. Instead of seeing the third eyelid itself, you may see its tear gland protruding. This condition is called cherry eye, which is rare in cats. The gland will look like a pink, oval mass. A protruding third eyelid is not always abnormal. For example, it will protrude when your cat is sleeping deeply and retract back when she wakes up. It will also come out if she gets into a cat fight—a small eye muscle will pull the eye back into the socket, allowing space for the third eyelid to come out. If the third eyelid protrudes when eye protection is not needed, then the protrusion is likely abnormal. Causes of abnormal protrusion include:  Significant weight loss or dehydration, causing the eye to sink back into the eye socket Third eyelid tumor or inflammation A mass within the eye, pushing the third eyelid forward Neurologic problem (Haw or Horner’s syndrome) affecting nerve control of third eyelid If your cat’s third eyelids are protruding, her eyes may become red from irritation. For example, if the third eyelid’s tear gland is protruding, it may become red from airborne dust. Dust could also cause the third eyelid itself to become irritated and red. Third eyelid protrusion in cats can have many causes. Your vet will need to perform a detailed eye examination and perform some other diagnostic tests to determine the protrusion’s cause. During the eye exam, your vet will examine the protruded third eyelid, measure tear production (Schirmer tear test), test the pupils’ response to light (pupillary light reflex), and use a fluorescent green stain to look for injuries to the cornea.  If your vet suspects a neurological cause, they may want to perform other diagnostic testing, including a neurologic exam and skull x-rays.  Over-the-counter (OTC) eye treatments for people don’t work well in cats. Do not treat your cat’s eyes with OTC treatments before taking her to your vet. Doing so could make it more difficult for your vet to diagnose the protrusion. If your cat suffered an eye injury, take her to your vet immediately for treatment.
Summary: Look for the third eyelid. Remember when you see the eyelid protrusion. Check your cat’s eyes for redness. Take your cat to your vet.
