Q: Collect approximately 100mL (.44 cups) of hot water. The water doesn't need to be boiling. Tap water will work fine. Just leave the tap on for a minute until the water is very hot. To get the purest crystals, begin with a hot solution and allow it to cool slowly by leaving it at room temperature. This slow process will allow the crystal to reject any impurities as the molecules are arranged. The solution will be saturated when it can no longer dissolve more crystals. You will probably need about 60 grams (2.1oz.) of chemical. Add more until the crystal no longer dissolve. There are a number of chemicals you can select depending on the color of crystal you want to make. Some of the chemicals, like borax, may be around your house or at the local grocery store. Other ingredients are available to order online. Borax can be used to produce clear crystals. Copper sulfate can be used to create bright blue crystals. Purple chrome alum can be used to create purple crystals. Pouring the solution through a filter will help to get rid of any excess crystals that could not be dissolved in the solution. Take a plastic funnel and place a coffee filter in the funnel. Then pour the solution into a separate container through the funnel. Now you should have a clear solution with no crystals floating around in the liquid. Leave it for 24 hours. Once you have some small crystals scrape them off the plate with a butter knife. You can use these small crystals as seeds to produce larger crystals. You can poke two small holes in the lid and tie one end around the seed crystal and tie the other end to the top of the jar. The container should be clean so the crystals attach to your seed crystal and not the container. Pick any container that has a good cover that seals. Or make a cover by suspending your crystal from a flat piece of cardboard. Evaporation will help speed up the formation of crystals. Wait as the solution evaporates and your crystal grows larger. Be patient. It can take weeks to grow a large crystal. Keep the object in a cool, shaded area. Make sure it is someplace where the container won't be moved or disturbed too often. Over time, small crystals will begin to form in the solution, so it will be necessary to put your seed crystals into a new container. Remove the seed crystals and place them on a paper towel. Pour the solution through a coffee filter into the new container. Scrape out any crystals in the old container. You can save them and use them as seed crystals for the next time you want to grow a crystal. If you need more solution, dissolve some more crystal powder in hot water and add the solution to your new container. To protect the crystal from being destroyed by exposure to moisture, cover the crystal with a coat of lacquer. Use a brush to apply an even coat over the entire surface. You can also try coating the surface with a layer of nail polish to protect it.
A: Collect some hot water in a jar. Dissolve a crystal chemical in hot water until the solution is saturated. Filter the solution. Place a small amount of the saturated solution on a plate. Suspend the seed crystal in a clean jar. Pour the saturated solution into the container with crystal seed. Refresh the solution every two weeks. Coat the surface of the crystal with a lacquer.

Article: It might not seem like a big deal to you when she compliments your new sneakers, but her noticing changes in your outfit or appearance and complimenting you could be her way of showing you she's interested enough in you to pay attention. Many shy people are worried about saying the wrong thing, which sometimes leads to quietness around a crush. Oppositely, nervousness at being close to a crush might cause a shy girl to be a little more chatty. In either case, research has shown that if she responds to you smoothly and quickly, she likely is interested in some kind of relationship with you. Small praise has a profound effect on people, but this effect is more pronounced with potential romantic partners. Does your girl light up when you pay her simple praise? She may be crushing on you. When she peppers your conversation with pleasant laughter at your wit and charm, it could mean she wants you to like her. Listen for frequency. Laughing more with you than others could be a love letter from her subconscious. Notes in lower registers are subconscious attempts at showing off, which makes a dreamy or husky quality in her voice a good sign for you! She may be loud around others, but quiet around you. These are often hints she is interested. Shy people frequently fear direct confrontation, so asking her if she has feelings for you through a note passed on through a friend or in a message that friend relates to her could save you from unnecessary detective work. Remember, she will find out that you asked, and sometimes people use this information to pick on other. There is nothing wrong with asking someone if they like you. Remember that some shy girls are very reserved and may keep their crush a secret, even from their best friends. It's important that you take time to read your situation to see if this kind of inquiry is a good decision.

Observe small compliments. Pay attention to how she talks. Give the girl you like compliments. Listen for laughter. Take note of volume and pitch. Ask through a mutual friend.

Problem: Article: Your doctor may recommend that you do a prenatal screening for cystic fibrosis if the disorder runs in your family or if you are a carrier of the defective gene that causes it. The test is usually very accurate and can tell you if your baby's genes are normal or if they are at risk of developing cystic fibrosis. However, taking this test is a very personal decision that you should discuss carefully with your doctor and your significant other, if they're involved. Talk about the pros and cons with your doctor and educate yourself before you decide to have a test done. Your doctor will put a needle into your abdominal wall and then into your uterus. They will extract a small amount of fluid from the amniotic sac, which is the sac that is around your baby. This test can be done at your doctor's office and should not be painful for you. Another prenatal test involves the doctor threading a thin tube into your vagina and cervix until it reaches the placenta. They will then suck out a sample of the placenta for testing. The suction used will be gentle and should not be painful or uncomfortable for you.
Summary: Consider a prenatal test if you are pregnant and genetically prone to cystic fibrosis. Consider allowing your doctor to remove fluid from your amniotic sac. Talk with your doctor about taking a sample of your placenta.

Q: You will probably gag, but it's worth it! Work the vinegar through your hair slowly, over a 10 minute period to get maximum saturation. Refrain from rinsing. This gives the vinegar time to sink into the hair and scalp. Use a treatment with a 2% salicylic acid concentration. Again, pour slowly and allow liquid to soak into your hair. Leave the vinegar and acne treatment in your hair for about 30 minutes. Do not rinse the vinegar and acid out of your hair before doing this. Scrub this onto your scalp and hair. Let this mixture sit for about 20-30 minutes. If possible, concentrate these products on more the back of your head. Samples are most commonly taken from this area. Do not wash or condition. Rinse well. Use the conditioner treatment that usually comes with the hair colour kit. Instructions for this remedy vary - some recommend repeating once a day in the four or five days leading up to your test, while some recommend only one treatment.
A:
At home before your test, begin by saturating your hair with white vinegar. Let the vinegar sit for 15-20 minutes. Next, soak your hair with a salicylic acid acne treatment. Work one capful of liquid detergent through your hair thoroughly. Add a dash of water to 1 scoop of powder detergent to make a paste. Rinse all the products out of your hair. Dye your hair using a standard store-bought dying kit. Repeat as needed.
