Problem: Article: You'll need a 14", 7", 6", and three 4" terra cotta saucers. You'll also need 6" and 4" flower pots, a fountain pump, 1/2" rubber tubing, silicone sealant, clear spray sealant, a round file, and a drill with a masonry bit. Spray the inside of the 14" saucer with the spray sealant. Do three coats in total, with dry time between them. Soak the rest of the flower pots and saucers to make them easier to shape and drill. Drill a 1/2" hole for the rubber tubing in the 7" saucer, with a wood block underneath it for support. Then file four notches in the lips of the 6" pot and one of the 4" saucers. File downward angle large notches in the 7", 6", and one of the 4" saucers. These will be the downspouts. With the pump on the 14" saucer, attach the rubber tube to the pump and then then side it up through the hole at the bottom of the 6" pot (with the pot upside down). Arrange the pot so that the cord for the pump goes through one of the notches on the lip of the pot. Now place the 7" saucer on top, facing up. Trim the extra tube, leave about a 1/2", and then seal the edges around the tube with silicone. Place the 4" flower pot upside down and top it with the 6" saucer, and the 4" saucer with the lip on top of the 4" saucer with no cuts. Arrange the saucers and pots so that the downspouts pour into each other. Finally, place the 4" saucer with the notches upside down so that it covers the hole with the tube. Water should flow up from the bottom, pour out the 7" saucer, into the 6" saucer, into the 4" saucer, and then back into the 14" saucer so that the process can start again. The notches allow for water flow, so if you're having circulation problems, try making the notches bigger. You may need to stabilize the fountain by gluing these components together, or by lashing them down with twine. Fill your saucers with river stones or other flow-friendly materials, and then add plants or other decorations to your fountain. Enjoy!
Summary: Gather your materials. Prepare the base. Drill and file the pots and saucers. Assemble the main fountain. Assemble the rest of the fountain. Add finishing touches.

Problem: Article: Continue adding the potatoes, white beans and baby carrots, circling around the soup pot so that each vegetable has its own section. Occasionally, stir the soup near the bottom of the pan. You want to avoid mixing the top layer of featured vegetables, but you also want to keep the pureed vegetables from burning on the bottom of the pan.
Summary: Add the remaining broth. Add the reserved slice half of the fennel bulb to the top right corner of the soup (between 12:00 and 2:00). Add the artichoke hearts between 2:00 and 4:00. Simmer the vegetables for 10 to 15 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls, getting a little of each vegetable. Serve the soup with a slice of crusty bread that has been rubbed with olive oil and garlic.

Problem: Article: A salon employee or online advice can help you find the characteristics of your hair. This will help you choose the right treatments and products. Here's the basic breakdown: Wavy hair (type 2), generally thin and easy to handle Curly hair (type 3) Coily hair (type 4), usually very fragile and hard to grow out Washing hair too often strips it of natural oils. Try washing it once a week. Switch to once every two or three weeks if your hair starts to break easily. Try to find a shampoo that doesn't leave your hair feeling too dry. To reduce damage, wash hair in lukewarm water and rinse in cool water. The heat from blow drying can cause damage, leading your hair to break before it grows to the desired length. Instead, plait your hair, wrap it in a silk scarf, and let dry overnight. Alternatively, towel dry your hair by wrapping it in a towel and simply rubbing your head for a while. Shampoo strips your hair of natural oils. Restore these with conditioner suited for African hair. Periodically deep condition your hair as well. You can use leave-in conditioner in between washes. Rub natural oil into the middle and ends of your hair to make it soft and supple. This will help prevent it breaking before it grows too long. Jamaican oil, castor oil, Moroccan oil, or lavender oil are all good options. Covering your hair with a satin scarf can help your hair take in the oil. Water strengthens dry hair and may stimulate your hair roots. You can apply water, moisturizing conditioner, or a mixture of half olive oil or half coconut oil. For extra moisture, apply each one, in that order. The oil will help seal in the moisture. If you use gel or mousse in your hairstyle, try hair jam instead. This will hold your hair, then eventually melt into oils to add shine and moisture. These can strengthen some types of hair, but may damage dry hair. Try brushing your hair: if your strands stretch significantly before breaking, you may need more protein. Do not leave in protein conditioner longer than instructed on the label, or it may turn hard and brittle. About every other day or when your scalp feels dry, apply coconut grease to the tip of your pointer finger. Apply at the top of your part and sweep back until all the grease has been applied. Stop if you notice dandruff, as oil can feed the fungus that causes it. If you have a perm, grease only once a week, or apply hot oil instead. Once a month, use a neutralizing shampoo to clean all products out of your hair. If you use a lot of sprays, gels, and other styling products, use it every other week.
Summary:
Determine your hair type. Wash your hair only when you must. Let hair dry on its own. Use conditioner each time you wash. Apply hair oil daily. Moisturize. Consider protein conditioner. Grease your scalp when dry. Remove products with neutralizing shampoo.
