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.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Try aloe vera. Apply castor oil. Rinse with apple cider vinegar. Take vitamins.

Problem: Article: Anyone new to Switzerland who hopes to open a bank account there will need to meet with a bank representative. It's best to make these arrangements and get a bank account set up as quickly as possible. It may be helpful to visit a Swiss bank branch before you close out your old bank account from the country you're leaving, if at all possible. Some expatriates may have a difficult time securing their housing without a bank account, yet they may also have a difficult time opening a bank account without an address. Potential customers living outside of Switzerland who wish to open a Swiss bank account but cannot visit a branch in person may be able to request an application package by mail. Documents provided by the potential customer will need to be authenticated, either by a notary, an employee of the Swiss bank, or an employee of a correspondent bank that the Swiss bank is willing to work with. Most Swiss banks assign a personal account manager to work with each customer, and it's important to remember who your account manager is for all future bank transactions. Ask for your account manager's contact information, including his email address and direct phone line at the bank. Bank branches in major cities tend to have at least one account manager who speaks a foreign language, including English. Otherwise an account manager will most likely be fluent in one of Switzerland's four major languages: German, French, Italian, or Romansh. If you know you will require an account manager who speaks a language other than the major languages of Switzerland, it's best to call ahead and make the necessary arrangements. Like most banks and financial institutions around the world, new customers wishing to open a personal account will need to provide documentation that proves the customer's identity and source(s) of income.  New customers will be asked to verify their identity and address. If your identification card does not reflect your local Swiss address, you may need to provide a signed copy of your lease. Some banks will require a new customer to verify his professional status. Banks may also require new customers to show any relevant work contracts and tax returns as part of the employment verification process. Showing proof of employment helps banks know that the money being deposited into an account has not come from illegal activities. There are over 20 Swiss banks that are cantonal, meaning they only do business with residents of the canton in which each bank is located. If you open a personal account with a cantonal bank and move to a different canton, you may be asked to transfer your account to a corresponding canton. This should not be a problem for customers who open accounts with Swiss national banks. Most Swiss banks charge a monthly maintenance fee for personal accounts, and may charge additional fees for a credit card or Carte Maestro (debit card).  Monthly fees for personal accounts tend to range anywhere from 10 to 30 Swiss Francs (CHF), though customers can usually have these fees reduced or waived by switching to electronic banking statements, taking out a mortgage with the bank, or depositing a sizable amount of money into that account.  Credit cards and Carte Maestros tend to have annual fees that range up to 3 Swiss Francs.
Summary: Visit a bank branch or representative office. Get assigned an account manager. Provide the necessary documentation. Learn cantonal requirements. Expect to pay charges and fees.

During the abdominal palpation, the vet feels the bitch's tummy for the presence of puppies. The earliest date that this is likely to be successful is at least 21 days after mating. At this early stage the vet is feeling for an enlarged, thickened womb rather than puppies (which are like small blobs of jelly at this point).  The best time for abdominal palpation is day 28. This is because the puppies are now big enough to make a "bump" in the womb, much like beads strung along a necklace. By day 35, the each puppy is surrounded by his own fluid capsule and the vet feels something akin to a fluid string of sausages. Bear in mind that at 28 days each puppy swelling is a maximum of 25 mm (1 inch) in diameter, making it difficult to differentiate embryos in a womb from food in the gut or feces in the bowel. Furthermore, if your dog is tense and braces her belly wall, it can be impossible to feel anything worthwhile–the equivalent of trying to see through a window that has been painted over. Likewise, a single puppy can easily be missed, or mistaken for another structure such as the bladder, a kidney, or even feces in the bowel. Don't feel too frustrated with the veterinarian when she suggests a pregnancy test, as the abdominal palpitation can be inconclusive. The blood tests looks for high levels of the pregnancy hormone, progesterone. To be reliable, this test should be done after day 28. Before this it's possible to get false positive results, because the high levels might be a result of delayed decay of the hormone present during ovulation. However, after day 28, high levels of progesterone confirm pregnancy. Ultrasound scans are a popular way of confirming pregnancy, because in the hands of a skilled operator small changes in the womb can be detected as early as 18 days. The other advantage is that the technician may be able to give you an idea of how many puppies are in the litter, which is useful to know when it comes to the birth, or whelping.  Placental units can be visible from day 18, and from day 28 the fetal heartbeats are visible.  Note that the ultrasound is a noninvasive procedure that is done while your dog is conscious. The ultrasound equipment sends a beam of high-frequency sound waves toward your dog's uterus, and the waves created "echoes" which are converted into images. This is considered a safe procedure. The fur on your dog's abdomen needs to be clipped so that the probe can make good contact with the skin. X-rays have largely been replaced by ultrasound for detecting pregnancy in dogs. Because they are only of use once the fetal skeleton is calcified, which happens after day 49, the diagnosis is made relatively late in the pregnancy. As for safety, while the risk of irradiating puppies in the womb is unlikely to do harm, it is likely your dog will need to be sedated, because current health and safety regulations for the operators of x-ray equipment mean they are not allowed to be in the room when the exposure is made. Since many bitches, especially when heavily pregnant, are not comfortable lying still and are likely to get up when left, the only other option is to sedate them. Sedating a pregnant bitch is best avoided because of the risk of a drop in blood pressure to puppies in the womb. For these reasons, the use of radiography for pregnancy diagnosis has gone out of vogue.
