Article: There are a number of rumored natural products that can help thicken hair, but the most consistently cited is aloe vera, which is believed to help seal in natural moisture and promote hair growth. To use aloe vera, apply an aloe vera gel (available at most drug stores) to your scalp, let it sit for 30 to 60 minutes, then shampoo as usual. You can even extract the gel straight from the aloe leaf. Another of the most frequently recommended options, castor oil contains fatty acids, vitamin E, and ricinoleic acid, which are believed to nurture your hair and scalp. To use, apply several tablespoons of castor oil to your scalp and massage in. Be sure to choose an oil that is hexane-free. Repeat the process multiple times a week. Apple cider vinegar is believed to both balance your scalp’s pH and provide it with beneficial nutrients.  As a bonus, because the vinegar will remove residue from your hair, it can also boost volume and soften hair.  After washing your hair, pour about 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar over your hair and then rinse. There are several vitamin supplements believed to help enhance hair growth. For more information, start with this list from WebMD. Unfortunately, there isn’t yet a strong body of scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of vitamins for hair loss, so remember that it may not be realistic to expect a miracle solution.

Try aloe vera. Apply castor oil. Rinse with apple cider vinegar. Take vitamins.
Article: The classic example is a old tire or empty gardening pot. Items such as these can easily collect and hold small amounts of standing water.  Discard tires properly or drill holes in them to allow water to drain. Stack and cover containers such as pots whenever they’re not in use. Steps such as this are especially important to take late in the winter, preceding mosquito breeding season. Piles of raked leaves, grass, or other brush can collect small pools of standing water that you may not be able to see. They can also serve as hangouts for adult mosquitoes during the day. Dispose of these piles before they are able to do so. If you compost, be sure to turn your pile weekly at the very least. Irregularly used kiddie pools are especially likely candidates for standing water. That said, many different toys can collect small amounts of standing water that may be less apparent.  Encourage and help your children put away their toys inside or in a covered area. Make sure to get the little things too: that shovel in the sandbox or that frisbee in the corner of the yard are both ideal for small deposits of standing water. Gutters can fill and clog quite quickly, and can readily collect standing water. While a gutter cover can help, you’ll still need to check gutters regularly. Similarly, your downspouts and the drains or erosion-controlling troughs they pour into can get clogged as well. Check and clean your drains after any large leaf drops in the fall, and again at the end of winter. Standing water can collect in the areas of your yard that you keep watered, such as your garden. If ever you notice that a certain spot remains wet, it is likely collecting water above and below the surface.  Add sand to the ground near the area to allow water to drain away from the spot. Alternatively, dig a shallow drainage trough from a frequently wet area of the garden to another lower part of the garden that dries out more quickly. If water collects in shallow parts of your yard, work to raise that area of the yard. The easiest way to do so is adding soil to the area to bring it up to grade with the surrounding ground level. Alternatively, you can dig a shallow ditch from the shallow part of your yard to an area the water will be able to drain. Tree stumps that haven’t been fully removed can collect standing water that may not be readily apparent.  Instead of allowing a stump to slowly decompose, continue chopping it until you can till it into the surrounding soil or remove it entirely.

Article: Most carriers support call forwarding, but many impose a fee or require a one-time payment for activation. The easiest way to find out information about call forwarding is by calling your carrier directly. If call forwarding is disabled for your home phone, ask your carrier to enable it for you. Again, you may need to pay a fee or agree to a charge-per-minute rate before you can activate call forwarding. Most manuals have a section on call forwarding. Since home phones' settings vary more widely than the average smartphone, you should be aware of how your specific home phone operates in case there's an extra step or process that you have to complete before activating call forwarding. You can usually find a copy of the instruction manual on the phone manufacturer's website.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Check your carrier's policy on call forwarding. Activate call forwarding if necessary. Read your home phone's instruction manual.
