Problem: Article: Check the left ring finger for tan lines or indentations. If such a sign is there, the person may have recently removed his or her wedding ring. Some married people use this trick to appear single so they can pick up dates when they are away. However, the wedding ring tan line could also mean that the person is recently divorced or separated. Check out the car the person drives. Is it a station wagon, a minivan, or an SUV? These could be signs the person has a family. Think about other behavioral signs of being single. For example, most single guys cook for themselves or go out to eat a lot. Ask him what he cooked for dinner and the recipe, or ask him for the best places to eat. Clues to a person's marital status can be found in what they say. How much have they divulged about their lives? Do they talk about someone often that might be their spouse? One key thing to listen for is how they spend their free time. Single people have very different lives than people who are married or who have families. Ask the person what they did over the weekend. Did they go out with friends, go to a bar, a concert, or on a day trip to the city? Or did they sit around the house, have dinner with known married friends, or go to the zoo? The details of how the person spends their free time can help provide important clues. Who does the person talk about spending their time with? Is it always their parents, siblings, or cousins? Does he or she spend every weekend with a group of friends? This might point to a person being single. Single people have the luxury of going out on a whim, grabbing drinks after work, or meeting for dinner on the weekends. People who are married and who have families do not have the same kind of independence. They may occasionally meet with friends, but most of the time they will go home to their families, or bring their spouses along. Social media is a great way to determine if someone is married or not. Look at the person's Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram account. Sites like Facebook lists relationship status, and most social media sites allow the posting of pictures. Look for pictures of the person with someone romantically. How recent are the photos? Sometimes people leave up exes on their profile, but if it's recent, they might be involved.  Is the person's profile notably bare? Does he have a profile picture? Can you find any photos of him and a potential spouse together buried deep in his list of photos? Does he even have social media accounts? Bare or lack of social media might point to something else going on.  Do an online search of his name. See if he has social media accounts if you aren't connected with them. See if his name comes up on any websites, like a company website.
Summary: Look for the wedding ring tanline. Look for signs the person is single. Listen closely to what they say. Pay attention to their socializing habits. Check social media sites.

Problem: Article: Measure out 14 ounces (400 g) of olive oil and 1.76 ounces (50 g) of castor oil using your kitchen scale. Add them to the melted oils in the saucepan, then give the mixture a stir.  You can use just olive oil. Again, use a soap-making calculator to find out how much you should use.  If you can find it, use olive oil pomace. It’ll give you a lighter-colored soap in the end, which is generally more aesthetically pleasing. Otherwise, stick with virgin olive oil. Put your safety gear back on if you took it off earlier. Slowly pour the lye solution into the oil mixture, then give it a stir with a spoon or a stick blender. If you’re using a stick blender, do not turn it on just yet.
Summary: Add the liquid oils into the melted solid oils. Pour the lye solution into the oil, then stir it in.

Problem: Article: The theme of your room can be just about anything, from a fairy princess theme to an underwater theme. If you don't want to go too crazy with a theme, just pick a color theme consisting of two or three complementary colors.  If you need some help choosing colors that go well together, you can try consulting a color wheel. Depending on how much contrast you want, you can choose colors that are near each other or across from each other on the color wheel.. You can also choose a colorful piece of fabric or art to inspire your color choices for the rest of the room. Keep your theme in mind when purchasing and repurposing items for the room. Everything doesn't have to match perfectly, but it should all coordinate. Before you overhaul the room, take a minute to think about what is and what is not working for you. For example, if you have no place to study in your room, you may want to consider adding a desk. If the room feels claustrophobic, you may want to remove some furniture.  Measure the room so you will know exactly how much space you have for new pieces before you buy them. You should make sure you have enough room to comfortably walk around each piece and open all doors and drawers. It's a good idea to keep these measurements written down somewhere or stored in your phone so you can consult them if you find a piece of furniture you like. and assess your storage needs. Clutter can keep your room from looking the way you want it to, so find a way to minimize it.  Donate clothes and other items you no longer use to a local thrift shop. You can also try  selling some things online or at a  consignment store if you want some extra money to spend on your room. Once you've gotten rid of everything you don't need, determine if you still have clutter, and if so, how to deal with it. You may need to add things like shelves, hooks, a dresser, or a storage ottoman to your room, depending on the kinds of items you need to store. Baskets and canvas bins are also great for making clutter disappear!  You can also rearrange furniture, or clean out the room and store some unwanted items in the attic or basement. This will make it somewhat easier to see what the shape and size the room is.
Summary:
Choose a theme. Keep function in mind. Declutter
