Article: Your cat isn't likely to adapt immediately to living indoors. To prevent it from doing damage to your house, you should let it outside periodically, until it seems to be comfortable inside. Begin by allowing your cat indoors for brief periods of time. Then keep it inside for progressively longer each time. While you might still allow your cat outside periodically, you should only give it food and water inside. This way, it will come to associate food with being inside. This will create positive associations with your home. Place one litter box in a place that is convenient for you. Place the other near the door your cat takes to exit the house. This way, when your cat wants to go outdoors to use the restroom, it will see the litter box and use it instead. As your cat gets accustomed to the litter box, move the one near the door closer to the interior litter box. When the two litter boxes are next to each other, you can remove one.  Use litter boxes that are large, but not very high. To encourage your cat to use the litter box, you should remove all obstacles. Thus, you should avoid boxes with tops or boxes that require your cat to jump up high to get inside of.   The cat should feel secure when using the litter box. Place the litter box in a quiet area of the house where other animals and humans won't bother it too much. Don't allow your cat to decide for itself when it leaves your home. If you have a screened-in porch, you can allow your cat onto it periodically. You can also purchase a harness designed for cats and take your cat outside on walk. Some cats are resistant to walking on a leash but if you can  leash train your cat you will both find it to be a rewarding experience.

Take it slow. Feed your cat indoors. Give your cat two litter boxes. Allow controlled outside time.
Article: Vans make all kinds of shoes of different materials, including leather, which would be ruined by getting them wet. Look at the shoe's tag to determine whether or not the shoes are canvas or another synthetic material. If you own leather or suede Vans, you should use the same cleaning directions as you would use with other leather shoes. You should not dip them in water or use laundry detergent to clean them. If you've stepped in some serious mud, or gotten oil or grease on your shoes, use an enzymatic stain remover, or another commercial product of your choice to lift the stain before the wash. Apply to the stains in question and let the shoes sit for a while, while you prepare the washer. You want to use the gentlest and coolest setting on your washer, both for the safety of the shoes and the washer itself. It's not generally great to have shoes banging around in a washing machine, but it should be fine, done properly. Many people fear the glue and seams of Vans coming loose when placed in the washing machine. If you place the vans in a pillowcase beforehand, however, and include the shoes in a wash with other soiled items, like bath towels, or small rugs, it'll be a good way to keep everything padded, and from bouncing around too much. Your Vans should be fine.  It's not generally recommended that you wash shoes in the washing machine more than once every six months or so, or you'll risk damaging the shoes. If you're concerned about the liners or inserts in your Vans, it's usually best to remove them entirely from the shoe and replace after washing, or replace with new inserts. Make sure to use mild detergent for machine washing as well as hand washing and add the shoes in the pillowcase with the rest of the wash. To cut down on the amount of time you soak the shoes, wait until the load is half-full, if you're using a top-loading washing machine. The shoes will still get plenty clean, but won't sit for quite so long. Don't put shoes in the dryer. This can dry out the canvas as well as the soles, resulting in cracks along the seams. It's also a good way to damage your dryer. If you need to get your Vans dried quickly and don't care about cracking, put them in the dryer with a few towels to soften the jostling.

Article: Wedding photos are heirlooms the family will treasure for years. To produce high quality work, you should use high quality equipment. Start with mid-range products--you can always upgrade later. Talk to retailers and other photographers to see what they recommend.  You’ll need a tripod and a monopod, camera bags, lenses, 4 GB memory cards, a flash, and a camera. Rent your gear before you purchase. This will give you a trial period to see if it works for you. You need to know your photography equipment in and out. That way, you’ll be able to focus on getting the perfect shot when the wedding day arrives. Go through your camera’s owner’s manual, take photos in tons of different conditions, and consider taking a photography class or workshop. Make sure you know how to handle your equipment in different lighting conditions and when the subject is moving quickly. While taking classes isn’t necessary to becoming a wedding photographer, it can definitely help. Consider taking classes at your university, local community college, or online. Photography classes can help you get a feel for technique and equipment fundamentals. If you are in college, consider majoring or minoring in photography. Every photographer has their own style. This style isn’t fixed. Rather, it’s constantly evolving as the photographer grows. To develop your own style, look to your favorite photographers for inspiration. See what elements you like, and try to bring them to life in your own work. There are two kinds of wedding photography: traditional, which involves classic, posed photos, and photojournalistic, which involves more candid photos. Your own style might lean towards one, or blend the two. In order to grow creatively and develop your own photography style, you’ll need to take risks. Try different angles and color schemes, and test different techniques. Just remember that the wedding is not the place for radical experimentation. While you can--and should--experiment with some shots at the wedding, avoid turning the entire shoot into a creative experiment. Wedding photographers often spend more time editing their photos than they do actually taking them. It’s a good idea to become proficient in photo editing softwares like Photoshop and Lightroom by watching online tutorials or attending workshops, and practicing on your own, of course. Consider your personal photography style when editing your photos. Your finished photos should reflect your style. One of the best ways to learn is to watch others who have mastered the craft. Ask local wedding photographers you admire if you can shadow them during a photoshoot or work as an assistant. Pay close attention and take notes if you need to. Working as an assistant to an established wedding photographer is a great way to get into the industry. Having a portfolio of your work is key for any aspiring wedding photographer. A website is a great place to house your portfolio. On your website, clients can learn more about your business while browsing through your work.  Your online portfolio is a digital representation of your business, so make sure it looks professional. Your website should have a consistent style and easy-to-navigate format. One way to build your portfolio is to offer to work for free. You can help out a professional wedding photographer, or offer to shoot a friend's wedding free of charge. You’ll gain valuable experience while getting shots for your portfolio. Joining a photography organization is a great way to connect with other wedding photographers and learn more about your art. These organizations also offer great networking opportunities. Your new photographer friends can give you referrals!  Organizations like Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) offer strategies, tips, and equipment reviews for professional wedding photographers. Try to find a photography group in your area. If you can’t find one, consider starting your own.
