Eliminate odors. It may seem counter-intuitive to use an onion to eliminate odors, but onions absorb odors fairly quickly, including paint, fish, and burnt food.

By placing an onion slice in the location where your pet has had an accident, you prevent it from repeating the mistake.4. Soothe a bee sting. Cut an onion and rub it directly onto the bee sting.

The Demographics of the Jobs Recovery: Employment Gains by Race, Ethnicity, Gender and Nativity   Two years after the U.S. labor market hit bottom in 2009, the economic recovery has yielded slow but steady gains in overall employment.

Groups whose working-age populations are growing the most have seen the biggest empl... 12/16/2014
