You just quit smoking, now what?

I'm sure many of you have heard the saying "It's better to start now than never"
This saying is definitely true in the relation towards giving up smoking.

So you have just quit smoking, now everything is fine. Think again.

Here is some information that I have researched.

When you quit smoking, in:

• 20 minutes your blood pressure will return to normal.
• 8 hours the carbon monoxide levels in your blood will drop by half, and oxygen will return to normal.
• 48 hours your chance of a heart attack will start to lower very slowly, all nicotine will leave your body, your sense of taste and smell will return to normal.
• 72 hours your bronchial tubes will start to relax in your lungs
• 2 weeks your circulation will increase in the next 10 weeks
• 3-9 months coughs, wheezing and breathing problems will disappear, your lung capacity improves by 10%
• 1 year your chance of having a heart attack will decrease by 50%
• 5 years your chance of having a stroke will return to that of a non-smoker
• 10 years your chance of having lung cancer will return to that of a non-smoker
• 15 years your chance of having a heart attack will return to that of a non-smoker

Quit smoking now!

How to count cards: Blackjack

Ever wanted to learn to count cards in black jack?
Here is the first steps on learning how to count the cards.

First you must realize that most casinos use more than one deck at a time whilst dealing in blackjack.
Counting cards allows you to predict the next card, or the range in what it will be.

First get a deck of cards:
Memorize this:
2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 cards are given the value: +1
7, 8 and 9 cards are given the value: 0
10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace are: -1

Now get a deck of cards and keep laying down the cards while counting up the tally in your head.
Eg.
Ace = -1, Running total is -1
Two = +1, Running total is 0
Two = +1, Running total is +1
Four = +1, Running total is +2
Three = +1, Running total is +3
Three = +1, Running total is +4

Keep doing this until you reach either -4 or +4 in your head
If it is +4 then your next card you pull out will highly likely to be above 6
If it is -4 then your next card you pull out will highly likely to be below 10

The higher the range of your + or -, the more likely the dealer will bring out the card that favors the other side.

While playing blackjack you need to be quick thinking and count the cards as they are dealt by the dealer on the spot. This is not a full guide, just a beginners one to learning how to count cards. Keep practicing!

The Truth about gambling

Roulette: 
Did you know, Casinos have metal balls and magnetic spin tables which are programmed by the staff mathematicians to allow them to make a profit depending on their profit and loss statements, when they need money, these magnets are turned on. (First watch to see if everyone is losing or winning, if they are losing hard. Bet on the split 0 & 00, or simply bet opposite to them)

BlackJack: 
When you see a table when the dealer has quite a lot of money, I suggest playing. First observe to see if the dealer is not busting to much, if the dealer is busting go for it. If the dealer is constantly getting 21's, leave. I'm talking 3 sets of 21's in a space of 6 rounds. Depending on the table the electronic card system could be rigged to also obtain a profit when needed by the casino. (First watch to see if blackjack is being dealt on the dealer, if it is. Wait till the players are on a winning streak)

Poker Machines:
Poker Machines are connected to the internet nationally. Depending if your winning, someone on the other side of the country is losing on the same type of machine. If your losing, that other person on the other side of the nation is winning. So pretty much it should be a 50% chance to win, but it isn't. This is were the profits from casinos come in to take your decent chance away for their profit. (Don't even bother)

Poker:
Play this at casinos if you plan on making money out of it. Since you are not versing the casino, you are versing other people; Not a program, You can't beat a system even if you were Bill Gates. (Practice at this, never reveal your emotions during game-play even if they are fake, a profitable gamble)

How to make a Paper Frisbee

You will need:

• 4 Sheets of A4 Paper
• Either Staples or Tape

It goes far so you need to go to the park!

There are 9 steps in this picture going horizontally. I'll try and explain it as best as I can.

• Step 3 - 4: You must fold those creases and then pinch the two sides forwards until it ends up like a house.
• Step 7: Since you have created 4 of them, get 2 and flip one over, they should both slide into each other easily.
• Step 8: It may fall out of place so staples here can be used, you need two of these (Step8Picture)
• Step 9: Since you have two (Step8Picture), staple them onto of each other.

Testing edible plants

Here is a survival tactic to test if plants are edible or contain harsh chemicals.

1. Test only one part of the plant at a time
2. Separate the plants into basic components (Leafs, Stems, Roots, Buds and Flowers)
3. Smell the plant for strong or acid odors
4. Do not start eating for 8 hours before you starting the test
5. During the 8 hours, test it for contact poison, place it inside of your elbow gap, Allow 15 min for reaction.
6. Select a plant component and how you will eat it.
7. Rub a small portion of the plant on your lips to see if any burning or itching is caused.
8. After 3 minutes, if there is no reaction, place it on your tongue for 15 minutes.
9. If there is still no reaction, place it in your mouth and chew for 15 minutes, do not swallow.
10. If no burning, itching, numbness, stinging or other irritation occurs, swallow the plant.
11. Wait 8 hours, if any effects occur, force vomiting and drink as much water available.
12. Eat x5 the amount you last ate if there is no negative signs, then wait for 8 hours.
13. Plant should be safe for eating.

Some plants have edible and non edible components so make sure you do your research or try this with caution if you must.
