Q: Unable to remove elements or reset select I'm trying to eliminate a duplicate select element that's been created dynamically by a Javascript code.
I have two types of select elements. The first one appears when the button Add Element is clicked. This has two drop-down options: "Access Control" and "CCTV".
If CCTV is selected, the second select element then appears, with "1" and "2" as drop-down options.
Then, I have two other buttons: Remove Element and Remove All.
If, for example, I click on Remove All, all the elements are removed, including the second select element for CCTV.
The problem:
When I click on Add Element again, and select "CCTV" again, there appears two additional select elements instead of only one.
Here's the JSFiddle demo.

  <title>Create Elements Dynamically using jQuery</title>

    <input type="button" id="btAdd" value="Add Element" class="bt" />
    <input type="button" id="btRemove" value="Remove Element" class="bt" />
    <input type="button" id="btRemoveAll" value="Remove All" class="bt" />

A: I did not quite understand your question, but I think that's it. You want to add the dynamic select (quantity) only once, so you need to create a variable var CCTV = false; to make the control.
I added a function getval to get the value of the selected select. For when you use $('option: selected'), you get an array with all selects on the page, causing you to validate on the wrong object.

$(document).ready(function() {
    // CREATE A "DIV" ELEMENT AND DESIGN IT USING jQuery ".css()" CLASS.
    var container = $(document.createElement('div')).css({
        padding: '5px',
        margin: '20px',
        width: '170px',
        border: '1px dashed',
        borderTopColor: '#999',
        borderBottomColor: '#999',
        borderLeftColor: '#999',
        borderRightColor: '#999'
    });

    $('#btAdd').click(function() {
        if (iCnt <= 2) {

            iCnt = iCnt + 1;

            // ADD TEXTBOX.
            $(container).append('<select class="input" id=tb' + iCnt + ' ' +
                ' onchange="getval(this);"><option value="Access">Access Control</option><option value="CCTV">CCTV</option></select>');

            $(document).ready(function() {

                $(document).on('change', '#tb' + iCnt, function() {

                    var method = $('option:selected').val();
                    if (method == 'Access') {

                    } else if (method == 'CCTV') {

                    }
                });
            });

            // SHOW SUBMIT BUTTON IF ATLEAST "1" ELEMENT HAS BEEN CREATED.
            if (iCnt == 1) {

                var divSubmit = $(document.createElement('div'));
                $(divSubmit).append('<input type=button class="bt"' +
                    'onclick="GetTextValue()"' +
                    'id=btSubmit value=Submit />');

            }

            // ADD BOTH THE DIV ELEMENTS TO THE "main" CONTAINER.
            $('#main').after(container, divSubmit);
        }
        // AFTER REACHING THE SPECIFIED LIMIT, DISABLE THE "ADD" BUTTON.
        // (20 IS THE LIMIT WE HAVE SET)
        else {
            $(container).append('Reached the limit');
            $('#btAdd').attr('class', 'bt-disable');
            $('#btAdd').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
        }
    });

    // REMOVE ONE ELEMENT PER CLICK.
    $('#btRemove').click(function() {
        if (iCnt != 0) {
            $('#tb' + iCnt).remove();
            $('#add' + iCnt).remove();
            $('#quantity-' + iCnt).remove();
            iCnt = iCnt - 1;
        }
        if (iCnt == 0) {
            CCTV = false;
            $(container).empty().remove();
            $('#btSubmit').remove();
            $('#quantity').remove();
            $('#btAdd').removeAttr('disabled').attr('class', 'bt');
        }
    });

    // REMOVE ALL THE ELEMENTS IN THE CONTAINER.
    $('#btRemoveAll').click(function() {
        CCTV = false;
        $('#quantity').remove();
        $(container).empty().remove();
        $('#btSubmit').remove();
        iCnt = 0;
        $('#btAdd').removeAttr('disabled').attr('class', 'bt');
    });
});

// PICK THE VALUES FROM EACH TEXTBOX WHEN "SUBMIT" BUTTON IS CLICKED.
var divValue, values = '';
var CCTV = false;
var iCnt = 0;

function GetTextValue() {
    $(divValue).empty().remove();
    values = '';
    $('.input').each(function() {
        divValue = $(document.createElement('div')).css({
            padding: '5px',
            width: '200px'
        });
        values += this.value + '
'
    });
    $(divValue).append('
Your selected values
' + values);
    $('body').append(divValue);
}

function getval(sel)
{
  if (sel.value == 'CCTV')
  {
      if (!CCTV) {
          $('#tes').append('<select id="quantity"><option value="1">1</option><option value="1">2</option></select>');
          CCTV = true;
      }
  }
}

        <input type="button" id="btAdd" value="Add Element" class="bt" />
        <input type="button" id="btRemove" value="Remove Element" class="bt" />
        <input type="button" id="btRemoveAll" value="Remove All" class="bt" />

A: You only forgot one very short line of code:
$('#tes').empty();

Put that right before you append something to $('#tes') and that solves it.
Here, I forked your JSFiddle for the demo.

I hope you're doing well. Enjoying the changing seasons and staying warm with family and friends. I wanted to take a moment to share with you some things that have been on our minds at Phoenix as we approach the first concert of our fourth season.
As musicians, we often ask ourselves what we can do to make the world around us a better place for our audiences. This topic is never far from our minds, but current events have brought it to the forefront in a way that cannot be ignored. At Phoenix we've come to believe that the answer to that question lies not only in creating transcendent artistic experiences, but also in exposing our audiences to points of view they may never have found otherwise. This comes from a fundamental belief that diversity of culture, ideas, and sounds not only broadens our view of the world, but is essential to human progress.
Born from this thinking, we're excited to share with you an evolution in Phoenix's mission: Starting this season you'll notice that our programs include more pieces by women, people of color, immigrants, and members of the LGBTQ community. I want to make clear that this is not a coincidence, and that it will be a central part of Phoenix's mission going forward.
Over the course of our first two seasons I've been proud of the emphasis Phoenix has put on presenting music by living composers. I am, however, keenly aware that of the 20+ pieces we've performed, all except one has been by a white male and none have been by women. This is typical for modern orchestras, but that does not mean it is a standard we should settle for. In one week, at our first concert of the year, we will be presenting two pieces by female composers, one of whom was also a person of color. This is not only a trend we plan on continuing, but a calling we're making central to our mission as an artistic organization.
It goes without saying that these changes and this passion will not in any way lessen the artistic excellence of the product we put on stage for our audiences. We will not settle for music that is less than amazing, but we will go out of our way to find and promote amazing music from composers that may have had more trouble having their voices heard than others. The inclusion of all people and promotion of equality is, to us, a moral imperative apart from any political belief.
We hope you'll join us on this journey as we continue to explore new ways to shape the orchestral experience to be social, accessible, and vital to 21st century life and we look forward to meeting you and getting to know you better at our concerts this season!

Pasta Guides
How to Color Fresh Pasta

Updated Nov. 01, 2019

Fresh pasta is many things, but vibrantly hued is not one of them. There are times when this couldn't matter less—times when you're dousing it in a thick, colorful sauce or making uova in raviolo. But sometimes you want to keep things super simple without sacrificing an eye-catching presentation. And sometimes you just want some bright pink noodles, dammit.
Luckily, if you've been following our fresh pasta series, you already know that making pasta from scratch isn't all that hard or complicated. As for adding some color to the mix? It's barely even an extra step. Excepting some minor prep, the process is virtually identical to making regular fresh pasta. (For those of you new to the game, you can find our full instructions for making fresh pasta right here.)
I should make it crystal clear from the get go: colored pasta is not the same as flavored pasta. There are ways to add flavors to your pasta and we may get to them eventually, but for the most part, colored pastas are purely an aesthetic undertaking. And frankly, speaking from personal, if limited, experience, I'd urge anyone looking to flavor their dough to reconsider: you'll always get better, fresher, more nuanced flavor from a sauce.
Pasta Coloring Basics
Coloring pasta dough is as easy as coming up with an intensely colored purée and adding it to your dough as you bring it together. In fact, once you've got your colored purée, the process is virtually identical to making regular neutral-colored pasta. Today we're going to be making four different colored pasta doughs. A bright pink dough colored with beets, a deep dark black dough colored with squid ink, a green dough made with spinach, and a golden orange dough that gets its hue from tomato paste. For the orange and black doughs, we're pulling our coloring straight out of a jar, whereas for the pink and green dough, we boil our vegetables then purée them until completely smooth before incorporating them into the dough.
The only real variable you'll want to watch out for is water content. See, pasta relies on one thing above all others: gluten, the network of proteins that form when water and flour mix to give pasta its stretchy texture and bite. Developing gluten is crucial for classic pasta.
But there's also such thing as too much water—a dough made of just flour and water turns out bland, mushy, and...well...watery. In my traditional pasta recipe, I found that using a higher ratio of egg yolks to egg whites was the way to go. But when it came to testing colored pastas, that natural water content in my puréed vegetables made it unnecessary to add quite as much egg white. It's a delicate balance, but if you decide to experiment on your own, just know that getting it wrong is nothing a little extra flour or water can't balance out—at the end of the day, it all boils down to the textural cues we'll be covering in our kneading stage.
Before we go any farther though, there are a few things you'll want to have on hand. If you have pasta-making experience and you're looking for a good workout, all you'll really need is flour, eggs, and a rolling pin (along with your coloring agent of choice). Using a rolling pin's a lot of work though, so I use a pasta-maker. At Serious Eats Headquarters, I call on the help of a stand mixer attachment; at home, I turn to one of the simple, hand-cranked rollers. I also like to keep a bench knife around to make tasks a little easier and a little neater. If you don't have one, though, I think you'll still manage to get by.
It's also helpful to have a parchment-lined sheet tray ready for your rolled-out dough, a kitchen towel and/or plastic wrap to cover it and keep it from drying out, and some extra flour for dusting the pasta to keep it from getting too sticky. The only other thing you'll need is a few of square feet of surface space. A wood table; a marble countertop; a big cutting board—just find yourself a spot where you can make a big floury mess.
Weigh out your flour and pour it onto your surface in a pile. Then use your fingertips to make a hole in the center, like a big floury doughnut. You'll want it to be relatively wide—at least four inches—since we'll be adding a bunch of eggs in there. You can plop the eggs right in—these photos show the old-school technique, in which you actually whisk the eggs once they're on the countertop—but there's no reason why you can't whisk them ahead of time. Now's when you'll also add some salt and the coloring agent of your choice.
Using a fork or your fingertips, gradually start pushing the flour into the pool of egg. You'll keep adding flour until it no longer makes sense to use the fork—the dough will be wet and sticky, but holding together as a single mass.
Kneading
At this point, take out your bench knife and scrape off any dough sticking to your fork or your hands. Then, begin to fold additional flour into the dough with the bench knife, turning the dough roughly 45 degrees each time, to more evenly incorporate the flour. Once the dough feels firm and dry, and can form a craggy-looking ball, it's time to start kneading.
To knead, simply press the heel of your hand into the ball of dough, pushing forward and down. Rotate the ball 45 degrees and do it again. You'll want to keep going until the dough no longer looks powdery—it should have a smooth, elastic texture similar to a firm ball of Play-Doh. If your dough feels wet and tacky, add more flour as necessary. If, on the other hand, it's so dry that it refuses to come together, you'll want to add a little water. I find that a spray bottle works best to evenly moisten the dough without adding water in excess.
Once you have your ball of kneaded dough, wrap it tightly in plastic. Now that you've built up that gluten network, you have a dough that's incredibly elastic and springy. The resting period allows the flour to continue to hydrate, and the gluten network to relax a little. Most experts will tell you that if you tried to roll out your dough at this point, disaster would ensue—your dough will be too dry and too elastic to roll out.
The truth is (and yes, I've tested all kinds of intervals), you can get away with a pretty short resting period, especially if you're going to be rolling your dough with a machine—the process of repeatedly rolling and folding the dough will do some of the resting work for you. That said, I typically let my dough rest as long as it takes me to clean up my work station. By the time I've wiped off my counter, rinsed the flour off my hands, and gotten my roller set up, my dough's had a nice healthy rest of 20 to 30 minutes*. In the case of these colored doughs, where you want to really ensure that the purée or ink has evenly penetrated the entire ball, I often do a couple extra minutes of kneading after the resting period, when the gluten network is a little less tight and therefore easier to manipulate. When you're done, it should look something like the doughs above.
*If you're planning to wait several hours, rest the ball in the fridge, instead. For even more time, tuck the wrapped ball into a zipper lock bag, removing as much air as possible, and freeze it for up to three weeks.
Once you've got your dough, you can follow my rolling instructions to produce wide noodles for lasagna, use the toothed cutter for noodles, or transform it into ravioli or tortellini.
And there you have it: everything you need to know to start making gorgeous, colorful pasta at home.

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE "The Goldfinch is a rarity that comes along perhaps half a dozen times per decade, a smartly written literary novel that connects with the heart as well as the mind....Donna Tartt has delivered an extraordinary work of fiction."--Stephen King, The New York Times Book Review Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his longing for his mother, he clings to the one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art. As an adult, Theo moves silkily between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love--and at the center of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle. The Goldfinch is a mesmerizing, stay-up-all-night and tell-all-your-friends triumph, an old-fashioned story of loss and obsession, survival and self-invention, and the ruthless machinations of fate.

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES ON HUMAN RIGHTS
Corporate Philosophy and Principles
Respect and a sense of responsibility towards consumers, employees and business partners characterise Storck's corporate philosophy. Sincerity, integrity and fairness have guided our corporate actions for more than 100 years.
Storck products are made by people for people – people are therefore at the center of everything we do. Storck respects the dignity and personality of individuals, their rights and their need to look after their own interests.
Storck is also aware that, as part of society, it has a role to play in shaping it and gears its corporate activities with this responsibility towards society as a whole.
The following internationally recognised standards and conventions serve as guidelines in this respect:
TheThe United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) ‒ The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), adopted by the United Nations in 1948, is the first document to advocate the rights and freedoms of all people, regardless of nationality, place of residence, gender, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language or other status. The UDHR consists of a total of 30 articles on freedoms (civil and political rights) and social rights (economic, social and cultural rights). The most important freedoms include the prohibition of discrimination, the right to life, the prohibition of torture and slavery, freedom of expression and religion and the right to a fair trial. Social rights include the right to work and fair working conditions, the right to join trade unions, the right to social security, protection of family, motherhood and children, the right to an adequate standard of living, and the right to education and participation in cultural life. Although the UDHR is not legally binding, it has positively influenced legal, political and social developments at global level and is considered the foundation of international human rights protection. the The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) ‒ The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) was adopted in 1966 and has been officially valid since 1976. In conjunction with the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), it is one of the first two binding human rights treaties under international law. Accordingly, the contracting states undertake to respect and guarantee the rights of protection and freedom described in the ICCPR to all persons under their jurisdiction without any discrimination. The Covenant thus guarantees fundamental human rights such as the right to life and physical integrity, protection against torture, slavery and arbitrariness on the part of a state, gender equality and the rights to freedom of religion, expression, assembly and association. The Covenant also contains provisions on the protection of minorities. Compliance with the ICCPR is monitored by the UN Human Rights Committee. In conjunction with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights forms the International Bill of Human Rights. and the The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESR) ‒ The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) was adopted with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) in 1966 and entered into force in 1976. It is legally binding for all contracting states. In conjunction with the ICCPR, it covers all human rights listed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The ICESCR defines human rights in the economic, social and cultural spheres. It describes, inter alia, the right to work, education and health, the right to an adequate standard of living as well as the right to social security and participation in cultural life. Compliance with the Covenant is monitored by the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. In conjunction with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the ICCPR, the ICESCR forms the International Bill of Human Rights.
The The United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) ‒ The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) were adopted by the UN Human Rights Council in 2011. They constitute the first global standard for preventing and remedying human rights violations in the context of business activities by companies. They refer to the International Bill of Human Rights as well as the core labour standards of the ILO (International Labour Organization). The UNGPs comprise of three pillars with a total of 31 principles. They define both the duty of the state to protect human rights and the companies' responsibility to respect human rights. In addition, victims of human rights violations should have access to a complaints procedure and effective legal remedies. They thus form an important basis for putting in place due diligence in respect of human rights in companies.
The UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (UNCEDAW) ‒ The UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (UNCEDAW) is an international agreement adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1979 and which entered into force in 1981. Signing the Convention obliges the contracting states to eliminate discrimination against women and girls in all areas, and promote equal rights. In a total of 30 articles, the Convention sets standards to combat discrimination of women in the cultural, social, educational, political and legislative spheres. An additional protocol was adopted in 1999. This gives women the right to file an individual complaint in the event of violations of the Convention. Furthermore, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women that monitors the implementation of the Convention, can initiate an inquiry procedure on its own initiative, if it has information about serious or systematic violations by a contracting state.
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) ‒ The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted by the UN General Assembly in November 1989 and entered into force in September 1990. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is an international human rights treaty and is therefore binding for all contracting states. In a total of 54 articles, it lays down the obligations to respect, protect and guarantee children's rights. The four basic principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child are the prohibition of discrimination, the right to life and development, the primacy of the best interests of the child and the right to participation. The Convention defines children as persons under the age of 18 unless the applicable national law provides that the age of majority is reached earlier. The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, made up of 18 independent experts, is responsible for monitoring implementation by Member States. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is currently the most frequently signed international human rights treaty.
We also apply the conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO). This applies, in particular, to the following areas of regulation:
The prevention of child labour is specifically covered by the ILO Conventions on the Minimum age for employment and protection from the worst forms of child labour ‒ ILO Conventions No. 138 and 182: The issue of child labour is an important part of the ILO (International Labour Organization) core labour standards. The international core labour standards aim to ensure minimum standards for workers worldwide. ILO Conventions No. 138 and 182 form the legal basis for the protection of children. They oblige the contracting states to establish national institutions, adapt legislation and intensify international cooperation to combat child labour. Convention No. 138 on the Minimum Age for Admission to Employment entered into force in 1976. It sets the age limits for different types of employment and determines the framework conditions in which children may work. Convention No. 182 concerning the Prohibition and Immediate Action for the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour has been in force since 2000. It defines the worst forms of child labour such as slavery or prostitution and obliges contracting states to establish a program of action against these forms of child labour. Implementation and enforcement of the provisions are reviewed by the ILO..
To prevent slavery and forced labour, we expect compliance with the ILO Conventions on the Prevention of Forced or Compulsory Labour - ILO Convention No. 29, with Protocol dated June 11, 2014, and No. 105: The prevention of forced or compulsory labour is part of the ILO (International Labour Organization) core labour standards. The international core labour standards aim to ensure minimum standards for workers worldwide. The legal framework for the prevention of forced or compulsory labour is provided by two ILO Conventions and an Additional Protocol. ILO Convention No. 29 contains the definition of forced labour and formulates the general obligation to prevent forced labour. According to the ILO, forced labour is any form of work or service that is exacted from a person under the menace of any penalty and for which the said person has not offered himself voluntarily. Convention No. 105 on the Abolition of Forced Labour of 1957 and the Additional Protocol of 2014 closed implementation gaps that existed until then and prohibited further types of forced labour. Implementation and enforcement of the provisions are reviewed by the ILO..
With regard to harassment and discrimination, the ILO Conventions on Equal Pay and Protection Against Discrimination ‒ ILO Conventions No. 100 and 111: The elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation is part of the core labour standards of the ILO (International Labour Organization). The international core labour standards aim to ensure minimum standards for workers worldwide. The ILO Conventions No. 100 on Equal Remuneration for Men and Women Workers for Work of Equal Value and No. 111 on Discrimination in Respect of Employment and Occupation form the legal basis for ensuring equal remuneration and protection against discrimination. Convention No. 100 has been in force since 1953 and requires equal pay for men and women for work of equal value. Convention No. 111 has been in force since 1960 and requires contracting states to promote equal opportunities and equal treatment for all workers. Implementation and enforcement of the provisions are reviewed by the ILO. apply.
To protect freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining, we require compliance with the ILO Conventions on Freedom of Association and the Right to Collective Bargaining ‒ ILO Conventions No. 87 and 98, amended June 26, 1961: The right to freedom of association and collective bargaining is part of the ILO (International Labour Organization) core labour standards. The international core labour standards aim to ensure minimum standards for workers worldwide. ILO Conventions No. 87 on Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise and No. 98 on the Application of the Principles of the Right to Organise and to Bargain Collectively came into force in 1950 and 1951 respectively. The Conventions are designed to ensure that workers can organise themselves in trade unions, bargain collectively and strike without external interference. To ensure these rights, contracting states undertake to provide a legal framework that offers the necessary safeguards and guarantees to exercise these rights. The protection of freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining are essential levers to guarantee good working conditions. Implementation and enforcement of the provisions are reviewed by the ILO..
Taking Responsibility for Human Rights
As an international company with complex supply chains, we are aware that our activities are, at all times, associated with the potential risk of human rights and environmental standards being endangered or even violated within the supply chain.
Our goal is to identify such risks at an early stage and minimise them, prevent violations or be able to respond to them appropriately. To this end, we have taken a variety of measures for effective risk management.
Incorporation in our Business Units
In a company of Storck's size and scope, pursuing and achieving the above-mentioned goals can only be done collectively. The members of the Executive Board are therefore responsible for implementing in their respective business units the standards set out in our Management Manual. They delegate responsibilities to an appropriate extent to the respective managing directors/general managers as well as division heads and monitor the fulfillment of duties. In addition, a human rights officer has been appointed as a central and overarching authority, who monitors risk management throughout the company, ensures compliance with duties and objectives, and reports to the management at least annually and on an ad hoc basis.
The purchasing department plays a special role in minimising risks pertaining to environment and human rights in our supply chain. It is responsible for selecting suppliers, shaping business relationships and monitoring compliance with human rights and environmental standards at our direct suppliers. For this reason, we have additionally appointed a procurement risk management officer.
If violations occur despite our preventive measures, the responsible bodies can only take action, if they learn about them. We have set up a digital reporting system through which information on violations of human rights or environmental obligations can be communicated in an uncomplicated and risk-free manner. The reporting system is open to our employees, suppliers and their employees, as well as to all third parties who become aware of such a violation in our own business or in our supply chain, or who have a reasonable suspicion of such a violation. Reports are treated confidentially and can also be made anonymously. The system can be accessed through the following website: storck.integrityline.com.
Reporting persons can use this channel to contact our impartial complaints officers who are bound to secrecy. They will discuss the facts of the case with the reporting persons and internally take appropriate measures together with those responsible.
A more detailed explanation of the procedure can be found in the Rules of Procedure.
Risk Analysis and Preventive Measures in our own Business Division
Our own business division comprises all activities of August Storck KG as the parent company of the Storck Group as well as all subsidiaries and associated companies worldwide.
Storck manufactures its confectionery exclusively at three production plants in Germany. These have been certified in accordance with the internationally recognised Social Accountability 8000 (SA8000) Standard since 2011. This applies to the manufacturing areas, the administration and, in particular, the purchasing department, which holds central responsibility for all resource procurement. Storck also aims to achieve such certification for the independent subsidiary Helmut Löser GmbH & Co KG Waffelfabrik.
A company that is assessed and certified according to SA8000 demonstrates a socially responsible management system in which the rights of workers, their workplace conditions and fundamental human rights are taken into account in the company's business activities.
The basis of the SA8000 commitment and certification is the Storck Code of Conduct, which sets out all relevant human rights obligations for all companies in the Storck Group.
The Storck Code of Conduct therefore is also binding for our foreign sales companies. We monitor compliance with these obligations through our own audits.
The Storck Code of Conduct also applies to the activities of our subsidiaries and associated companies abroad that are involved in upstream production stages and are active in hazelnut cultivation in Chile, cocoa cultivation in the Dominican Republic and cocoa processing in Ecuador. We check compliance with the requirements through our own audits based on the SA8000 criteria. We also seek external verification through the Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA) or alternative verification to ensure that risks can be identified and eliminated. Sedex (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange) is a membership organisation for ethical trade. SMETA enables verification of activities with regard to responsible and ethical business practices based on the Ethical Trading Initiative Base Code and locally applicable laws.
Storck communicates the rules and expectations for respecting human rights to its employees and supports this through training.
Risk Analysis and Preventive Measures for our Direct Suppliers
The analysis of risks in the case of our direct suppliers and the structuring of business relationships with them are of essential importance for compliance with human rights and environmental due diligence obligations.
In our relationships with our direct suppliers, we strive for long-term cooperation based on partnership. We see long-term partnerships as a cornerstone of sustainable business. They provide in-depth knowledge of the partner's business activities and form a basis of trust, especially with regard to human rights and environmental risks.
In addition, we systematically obtain an overview of potential risks in the case of our suppliers. To this end, we regularly conduct risk analyses. We use the Sedex risk assessment tool. Sedex provides a data platform through which suppliers can share information about their social and ethical standards. It also enables risk assessment without involving our business partners.
Sedex also draws on a variety of publicly available and reliable sources for risk assessment. It enables assessment in relation to specific environmental and human rights risks, including human rights risks as defined by the German Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations for the Prevention of Human Rights Violations in Supply Chains (Supply Chain Act).
Furthermore, suppliers with particular strategic relevance are individually screened and assessed. In addition to the general criteria relevant to the industry and the location, this makes it possible to obtain specific, in-depth information related to the respective supplier, and take it into account in the risk analysis. Moreover, the purchasing department, in conjunction with sustainability management, checks the Sedex risk assessment to see whether the data sources used by Sedex actually show a relevant risk for our product groups. Finally, for suppliers with a low overall risk, we check whether individual risks are particularly high.
In accordance with Sedex, we categorise the risk values determined in the analysis in high, medium and low risk areas. In the case of a higher risk value, we assume an increased probability of occurrence and can take this into account in the context of prioritisation. Prioritisation is also carried out for high individual risks by assigning them to a higher overall risk group. In addition, we look at the purchased goods and services in relation to their proximity to the product. Raw materials and packaging, for example, are elementary, which is why we pay special attention to them. In this way, we take into account the nature and scope of our business activities when prioritising. We also include our ability to influence in the analysis in this way because this is generally higher in areas with a particular proximity to the product than in other areas. For the proximity to the product, we also form three categories (low, medium, high) and relate these to the risk category of the suppliers, as shown in the following figure:
We divide these areas into four priority groups - descending from red (highest priority) through orange and yellow to green - and assign required prevention measures to the priority groups.
To counter the risks we have identified and those we may not yet have identified, we contractually oblige our direct suppliers to comply with the human rights and environmental imperatives set out in our Supplier Code of Conduct, and take appropriate remedial action in the event of violations. Depending on the risk assessment, we conduct surveys as well as inspections, and even on-site audits.
The analysis via Sedex covers all relevant human rights risks. We determine environmental risks within the meaning of the German Supply Chain Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz) with the help of a survey of our direct suppliers, whom we also contractually bind to comply with the requirements. We react to the findings from the self-disclosure and information obtained from other sources as required, and initiate the necessary and appropriate measures.
We are aware that – especially with regard to our raw materials – environmental and human rights risks occur primarily in the upstream supply chain, with indirect suppliers. With regard to our procurement needs, this applies in particular to cocoa, a raw material that is an indispensable basis for many of our products. To produce high-quality chocolate products, while at the same time minimising the human rights risks for cocoa farmers and continuously improving their working conditions, we are involved in the Forum Nachhaltiger Kakao e.V. (German Initiative on Sustainable Cocoa (GISCO)), a multi-stakeholder organisation in which the German government, represented by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL), the German confectionery industry, the German food trade and civil society have joined forces to pursue the common goal of improving the living conditions of cocoa farmers and their families and increasing the cultivation and marketing of cocoa certified according to sustainability standards in close cooperation with the governments of cocoa-producing countries. We are committed to the goals of GISCO and source a significant proportion of our cocoa from sustainably certified or appropriately verified cultivation. Storck sources cocoa from almost all growing regions in the world. In West Africa, a region where Storck does not maintain its own organisations, the human rights problems in cocoa cultivation, such as abusive child labour, are particularly serious. We address this situation by sourcing cocoa from Africa exclusively in a certified sustainable or appropriately verified manner. By 2030, at the latest, this should apply to all the cocoa we buy.
Further Development
We see the implementation of human rights and environmental due diligence as an ongoing process. We accept this challenge and regularly review our strategic approaches and measures with a view to continuous improvement. We will conduct our risk analysis on an annual and ad hoc basis, incorporating findings from an annual review of the effectiveness of our preventive measures and any remedial measures that become necessary. The findings of reporting persons are also be taken into account.


This little pot of beauty otherwise known as the Heaven Skincare Bee Venom mask was in the Southwestbloggers meet goody bag that i received back in November. I have heard about using bee venom masks and even snail slime masks (eww) for a while now as a natural alternative to botox. This bee venom mask in particular is from Heaven skincare and it contains some really simple ingredients using venom from bees in organic hives in New Zealand, manuka honey and Shea butter,rose and lavender essential oils which are all really gorgeous and natural ingredients so they definitely don't upset your skin. The mask works by controlling facial muscles for immediate lifting,tightening and firming, whilst targeting frown lines and wrinkles.
I applied quite a thin layer of this to my skin as the product is quite expensive, the consistency is just like a moisturiser and after a while you can see that the product almost completely sinks into your skin. I applied the mask to cleansed skin and it advises to leave it on for 20 minutes before washing it off but it says you can also apply a small layer to leave underneath your foundation, but i am yet to try this as i think my skin would look even oily than it normally is!
As i have 20+ skin i cant really comment on that fact that it improved my wrinkles because my skin is pretty plump already and i don't have any wrinkles,or so i hope! I actually would just use this as a normal mask though as the fragrances of the ingredients are gorgeous and it didn't irritate my skin in any way which is often a problem that i find with masks, it was also really moistursing so i would definitely use this as a maintenance mask, i did feel afterwards that my skin did feel fuller and looked fresher!
Because i cant really comment on all of the improvements of this mask i also got my mum involved in it to see what the effect was on a 50+ skin. Again she really liked the scents and it didn't irritate her skin at all and she felt that it really plumped her skin out for a few days after but you would probably have to keep regularly using this for permanent results.
Overall if you are looking for an alternative and cheaper version to botox this could be your answer as it is a completely natural and non evasive method!
What do you think of the bee venom mask? have your tried it before? What are your favourite face masks?


Its garden season here in Indiana! Looking through the Rumford Complete Cookbook this month, I thought it would be nice to try a recipe using some sort of vegetable from the garden. We are definitely a potato eating family, so it seemed fitting to try a potato recipe. It sounded delicious and a great addition as a side to our meal.
We are harvesting a wide variety of produce in the garden right now, potatoes being one of them. Each Spring we plant several hundred pounds of a few different varieties to grow for our farmers market booth and ourselves.
The Savory Potatoes recipe is on page 67 of the Rumford Complete Cookbook. Below is a photo of the recipe from the book.
6 medium sized potatoes (I used fresh new potatoes, so I used an amount about equivalent to 6 medium potatoes.
Clean and slice the potatoes into thin slices. Chop onion into small minced size pieces. In a baking dish, create a layer of potatoes. Then sprinkle lightly with onion. Add salt and pepper for taste. Repeat layers until out of ingredients. Add milk over the potatoes to cover them. Bake at 400 degrees for an hour or until potatoes are tender.
These potatoes smelled delicious as they were baking and reminded me of walking into my grandma's house as she was making a meal for the family. The smell of potatoes, onion, and pepper together takes me back to a smells of a homestyle meal.
This side dish was a great addition to our meal and will be enjoyed again!
family of 6 we shall soon be!

Hydrobiidae, commonly known as mud snails, is a large cosmopolitan family of very small freshwater and brackish water snails with an operculum; they are in the order Littorinimorpha.

Distribution
Hydrobiidae are found in much of the world, inhabiting all continents except Antarctica. In Australia alone there are over 260 species in the family.

Description
These are very small or minute snails, with a shell height of less than 8 mm. The dextrally-coiled shells are smooth (except for growth lines conforming to the shape of the outer lip) and are usually rather nondescript. The shell offers very few robust characteristics to the systematist who is attempting to classify the species within this family. This difficulty is compounded by a high degree of intraspecific variation. Descriptions often have to be based on the characteristics of the operculum, radula and penis.

The shell of species within this family varies from planispiral to needle-shaped. The shell may have an open umbilicus or a plugged umbilicus. The thickness of the shell can vary from thin to fairly solid. The shell may be transparent and horn-colored, or colorless.

The number of whorls in the shell varies between two and eight. The shell can sometimes even assume a corkscrew or hornlike shape by loosening of the attachment of body whorl. The periostracum (outer layer of the shell) is usually thin, and is often colored. It can sometimes show hair-like projections.

The sinuous aperture is entire, not interrupted by a siphonal canal or other extensions. It is sometimes thickened. The protoconch is usually shaped like a dome, and usually shows a few spirals.

The corneous operculum is usually well-formed and shows only a few spirals.

The head, foot, mantle and visceral coil are colored pale gray to dark purple-black with melanin pigments. Subterranean species are often unpigmented.

The strong foot can be retracted into the shell. The mucous glands are situated at the anterior edge of the foot. There are no posterior mucous glands. The symmetrical cephalic tentacles are threadlike, with blunt or rounded tips. The eyes are located at the base of the tentacles.

The ctenidium (a comblike respiratory apparatus) goes along most of the length of the pallial cavity. This respiratory gill consists of 10 to 200 triangular filaments. The osphradium, the olfactory organ linked with the respiration organ, is usually relatively small.

The taenioglossate radula consists of more than fifty rows of teeth. The central tooth is trapezoidal. The lateral teeth have few to numerous cusps. The marginal teeth are usually with numerous cusps.

The species usually have both male and female individuals, but very rarely reproduction may be parthenogenic, caused by internal fertilization. The females lay eggs in single capsules on the leaves or stems of water plants. But sometimes they produce eggs that are hatched within the pallial gonoduct of the body, and in these cases the young are born alive. Species that inhabit estuaries sometimes produce veliger larvae.

The fossil record of this family extends back to the Early Carboniferous.

Ecology

Habitat
Most species of this family live in freshwater (lakes, ponds, rivers, streams), but some are found in brackish water or at the borders between freshwater and brackish water. A few occur in marine environments on sandy or muddy bottoms between algae and sea grass.

Feeding habits
These small snails feed on algae, diatoms and detritus.

Taxonomy
This is the largest family within the superfamily Truncatelloidea. At one time or another some 400 genera have been assigned to this family, and probably more than 1,000 species. The Hydrobiidae family is the most widespread and diverse family of freshwater molluscs in the world, occupying a range of habitats from streams and estuarine creeks to alpine bogs.

This family was originally named by Troschel in 1857, as the group Hydrobiae. Troschel was not certain of their rank, and he placed them in the Taenioglossata: Ctenobranchiata between the Lithoglyphi and Ancyloti. Over the years there have been numerous attempts to give an adequate and more finely divided classification. Thiele (1925, 1929 and 1931) set up the most comprehensive classification, with a review of the family at generic level.

Notable works about taxonomy of Hydrobiidae includes works by Radoman, for example Radoman (1983).

The classification, as specified by Kabat and Hershler (1993), does not form a monophyletic group, and was in need of revision.

A study by Wilke et al. (2001) using molecular data from COI (Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I) and 18S genes has resulted in a new tentative set of subfamilies: Hydrobiinae, Pseudamnicolinae, Nymphophilinae, Islamiinae and Horatiinae.

Continental Team Astana is een voormalige-Kazachse wielerploeg. De ploeg kwam uit in de continentale circuits van de UCI, en fungeerde als opleidingsploeg voor het Astana Pro Team, dat in de UCI World Tour rijdt.

Renners die de overstap van het Continental Team naar het Pro Team hebben gemaakt zijn de wereldkampioen bij de beloften Aleksej Loetsenko, Arman Kamysjev en Roeslan Tleoebajev, die alle drie in 2013 naar het Pro Team gaan. Hiervoor in de plaats komen Sergej Renev en Jevgeni Nepomnjasjtsji vanaf het Pro Team naar het Continental Team.

In 2014 werden drie renners van de ploeg betrapt op doping: Ilja Davidenok, Viktor Okisjev en  Artur Fedossejev. Dit zorgde er uiteindelijk voor dat de opleidingsploeg werd opgeheven.

They're both winners in our book, especially since we're knocked out by their cuteness.

Preparations are underway for the 2016 Republican National Convention, July 18-22 in Cleveland. The American Red Cross is among several organizations with plans to provide residents and visitors a safe and enjoyable experience.
The Red Cross responds to approximately 66,000 disasters in the United States every year, ranging from home fires that affect a single family, to hurricanes that affect tens of thousands, to earthquakes that impact millions. In these events, the Red Cross provides shelter, food, health and mental health services to help families and entire communities get back on their feet.
During the Republican National Convention, most hotels in Northeast Ohio are expected to be booked solid. The Red Cross is preparing to respond to any potential need to shelter and feed any residents who may be displaced from their homes, and is recruiting volunteers to help fulfill its mission.
Preparations are underway to open up to three shelters within a short time frame, in the event that a large number of Northeast Ohio residents is displaced due to home fires or other disasters. Opening and staffing three shelters could require more than 70 trained shelter volunteers around the clock. Currently, there aren't enough volunteers to meet that need.
If you are interested in supporting our readiness to assist people in need throughout Northeast Ohio, during the convention and beyond, click here to create a Red Cross volunteer profile and begin the application process.
There is also a "Zero to Hero" boot camp planned in June, to teach volunteers the skills necessary for sheltering, health, or mental health responses. The boot camp will take place from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM Friday, June 24 and all day Saturday, June 25th, at the headquarters of the American Red Cross Northeast Ohio Region, 3747 Euclid Avenue in Cleveland. To register, contact Luis Rivera, Workforce Engagement Manager, at 216-431-3328, or email NEOvolunteer@redcross.org.

Sylvan Lake CAO honoured
Betty Osmond recognized for her dedication
Paul Cowley
Oct. 13, 2017 1:00 p.m.
Sylvan Lake's top bureaucrat has been honoured by the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association.
Betty Osmond was chosen this year's recipient of the Dedicated Chief Administrative Officer Award from the AUMA and the Society of Local Government Managers.
It will be presented at the AUMA conference in Calgary on Nov. 22.
The annual award recognizes individuals who have served more than 10 years as a chief administrative officer, and who is respected and has worked with a high level of integrity to make an outstanding contribution to the field of municipal administration.
"The Town of Sylvan Lake has benefited immensely from Betty's experience and dedication — to not only her role as CAO, but to the concept of community," says Mayor Sean McIntyre in a statement.
"She is always aligned with council direction and her organizational leadership has been instrumental in
making our strategic vision a reality. We are very pleased to see her recognized in this way."
Town council and the municipality's staff nominated her for the award.
"This award is meaningful to me, as I have great respect for the two organizations that grant it," says Osmond in a statement.
"Municipal government administration is a challenging and ever-changing role, and I am delighted and honoured that council thought I was a worthy candidate for this recognition."
Osmond is originally from Newfoundland and moved to Alberta in 1982. She has 31 years of municipal management experience, including 11 as CAO. She came to Sylvan Lake in 2010 after working in Fort McMurray, Hinton and Slave Lake.

Searching for the silver lining: COVID-19 and influenza
By Mike Hughes MSc, PhD., Senior Director, Epidemiology
Signals from the southern hemisphere suggest we're about to see a silver lining in the current pandemic: a sharp reduction in the number of seasonal influenza cases as a result of public health restrictions.
We've modelled how these restrictions may impact selected high-income countries in the northern hemisphere (France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, United Kingdom and the United States), bearing in mind that the influenza season in these countries straddles the end of one year and the beginning of another.
Assuming we have a population-wide vaccination program completed before the 2021/2022 influenza season, we should see comparable drops in total cases, albeit spread throughout the 2020 and 2021 calendar years given the split impact between these two seasons.
Influenza-like-illness cases expected to drop amid public health restrictions
Countries assessed: France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, United Kingdom and the United States
Source: Decision Resources Group, 2020
Just as the kind of public health restrictions put in place to control spread of SARS-CoV-2 – the virus that causes COVID-19 – can reduce the risk of transmission of that virus (measured as the infamous R number), so it will also reduce the transmission of any other virus that is transmitted in a similar fashion. Specifically, strains of seasonal influenza.
Moreover, this reduction may not be in proportion. Milder public health restrictions could merely reduce the rate of increase of SARS-CoV-2, for example, reducing R from 3 to 1.5. But the same restrictions, if they also halved the transmission risk of influenza, which typically has a smaller R than SARS-CoV-2, could push it from a figure greater than 1 to a figure less than 1. This could make all the difference in an epidemic: R>1 indicates an exponentially increasing number of infections, whereas R<1 indicates exponentially decreasing numbers.
With the southern hemisphere's seasonal influenza peak occurring while the northern hemisphere basks in the summer warmth, we have evidence of this hypothesis: cases of seasonal influenza in the southern hemisphere showed huge drops in 2020, typically in excess of 90% compared to 2019 numbers.

Colleen Plummer Memorial benefits COVE.
#PentwaterWinterfest
#COVE
PENTWATER – Proceeds from the Colleen Plummer Memorial Craft Beer & Music Fest next Saturday, Feb. 16, at the the Antler Bar & Grill will benefit an organization Plummer strongly supported – COVE.
For over 40 years, COVE (Communities Overcoming Violent Encounters) has been the safety net for women, men and their children who are experiencing domestic violence and sexual assault in Oceana, Mason and Lake counties.
Beginning in 2019, COVE extends sexual assault services to Manistee County. Manistee has another provider for domestic violence services. There will now be a sexual assault counselor and advocate for all four counties.
COVE has been a home to victims who are forced to leave their own home because of violence. In the last year, survivors have used the shelter for 8,631 shelter nights. COVE clients stay from one night to 90 days, with the average stay being 34 days. For the last six months, COVE has had from 35-41 people in the shelter, making it necessary to use couches and cots as sleeping options and an extra living area as sleeping quarters. Over the last year alone, COVE has provided services to 410 clients from Mason, Lake and Oceana counties.
"Proceeds from events such as the Colleen Plummer Memorial Craft Beer & Music Fest help us to continue providing services for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault," said Development and Public Relations Manager Sandy Coleman.
"Colleen Plummer was a wonderful supporter of COVE during her life," Coleman said. "When she passed away, her family agreed to adding her name to this annual event as a memorial to honor her, not only for her support of COVE, but for her tremendous community involvement."
"It really means a lot to my family and my mother's many friends to honer her name with an event that she was so passionate about," said Colleen's daughter, Jill Plummer – who owns and operates the Antler Bar & Grill, taking over for her late mother.
The memorial is part of the Pentwater Winterfest celebration Pentwater Winterfest celebration that begins this Saturday, Feb. 9, and continues next Saturday, Feb. 16.

Gloucester Road is an area in West London that's packed with hotels – possibly due to its quiet, leafy surroundings and proximity to Central London. TLE recently spent the night at the newly-renovated ibis Styles Hotel to see how much bang for your buck you get for £150 in this popular area.
Location 4/5
Gloucester Road is a quiet location within easy reach of Oxford Circus, Soho and Covent Garden. The ibis Styles Hotel, with elegant Victorian facade, is less than a five-minute walk from Gloucester Road tube station, which is served by the Piccadilly, District and Circle connecting West London to central London in under 20 minutes. There are plenty of places to eat and drink near the hotel (mainly chains) – like Ask Italian, Nandos and Byron, as well as a handful of independent cafes and bars.
Rooms & interior 3/5
The hotel's facelift has seen it elevated to the higher end of a budget hotel with a modernist, Scandinavian feel. With no formal reception area, the entrance is an open-plan bar area with yellow chairs, breakaway areas and a well-stocked bar. Walls are adorned in stylish pictures of London's iconic tube stations and crisp white tiles with hints of green and blue replicate those you'd find underground on the most tube platforms.
The slightly OTT London tube theme is continued throughout the hotel with carpets instructing you to 'Mind The Gap'. All 84 rooms are in kitted out in similar IKEA meets Tube Station feel with Water + Loo signs to the bathroom and quirky motifs. Space is limited, given the expensive postcode no doubt, so rooms are pretty small but functional. The amenities are basic but meet the needs of a budget hotel – large TV, coffee and tea making amenities and a big, solid bed. Lighting is relaxing and long blackout curtains aid sleep, although street facing rooms mean you'll, unfortunately, hear some car noise.
Services 3/5
The hotel is designed to suit those not wanting too much fuss – like business travellers and those less concerned with over-the-top customer service, fancy gadgets and indulgences (spas etc.). Staff pull you up a chair on arrival – as opposed to a formal reception desk set up – which is refreshingly laidback and personable. The check-in process is very smooth – I was in my room within three minutes of arriving. A very basic breakfast is included and staff are on hand 24:7. But overall services are kept to a minimum (and there's no gym).
Food 3/5
The hotel offers a modest breakfast within its room rate, which you'll find below ground. Guests are able to grab what they need and go from the fairly sparse continental style buffet (croissants, muffins cereals, cheese and ham, orange juice etc.). And on the ground floor, there's a small bar/ cafe.
Visit the Natural History Museum around the corner from the hotel -less than ten-minute walk.

The Federal Excess Personal Property (FEPP) program is authorized under terms of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended (40 USC 483) , and the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of 1978 (16 USC 2106).
FEPP is Federal equipment on loan to State Foresters from the Federal Government for use in rural and wildland fire protection programs. Items loaned through this program may be used for fire protection purposes only.
Most items loaned in the FEPP program are from military installations, with trucks suitable for conversion to tankers or brush trucks being preferred. Other common items on loan include generators, pumps, and trailers.
The difference between the programs is that the Wyoming State Forestry Division (WSFD) lends FEPP property to rural fire departments for fire suppression; the equipment may not be sold or traded. After the department is finished using the equipment, it must be returned to WSFD.
FFP property acquired by WSFD prior to July 1, 2014, must be placed into service (that means in working order) for one year and must be available to be used for fire or emergency services to begin the In Service Date. Once that year is up, the property belongs exclusively to the Cooperator. Certain property acquired after July 1, 2014 will not be transferred to the cooperators and will remain property of the Department of Defense. This property will be treated in similarity to FEPP.
FILLABLE ORDER SHEET COMING SOON, PLEASE CHECK BACK!


This sensitive and historically interesting project was awarded to the company Implenia Switzerland AG. As this project requires utmost precision, the right choice of construction machine plays an important role. Implenia found the right choice in the Liebherr duty cycle crawler crane HS 8100 HD. "It is a modern machine with high load-bearing capacity and performance and at the same time it has low fuel consumption and compact dimensions. It is the key machine for us as far as slurry wall applications are concerned," explains Daniel Bucher, Head of Deep Foundation Applications at Implenia.

Weakening hair over time is an unfortunate fact of life. Whether it's because of sun exposure, over-treatment, genetics, improper care or any of the many health issues that can lead to thinning strands, your hair will change with age and often become weak or brittle. There are some things you can do to improve the quality of your hair and keep it shiny and healthy!
Before you spend a fortune on treatments with corrosive chemicals that could further damage your hair, check out some of the all-natural remedies below that will help you restore your locks and help you feel fabulous.
Olive oil is full of omega-3 fatty acids, which makes it a great tool when it comes to keeping your hair at the top of its game. Keep a bottle in the bathroom to use on your hair and scalp once a week. Just massage your scalp with the oil and leave it on for at least 30 minutes before washing it off with your regular shampoo.
Castor oil is a natural antioxidant that's also rich in minerals, omega-6 and 9 fatty acids, proteins and vitamin E, which makes it amazing for both hair and skin. Before bed, add a few drops to your damp hair and put on a shower cap to avoid a mess. Wash it out in the morning with natural shampoo.
Coconut oil is the latest life-saving, magical trend. It's antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral, plus it's a great conditioning treatment for your hair, skin, and nails. When used on your hair, coconut oil can moisturize, prevent breakage and boost blood circulation. For best results, warm a bit of coconut oil and massage your scalp with it, then wrapping your hair up in a hot towel. Let it absorb for 30 minutes and then wash off with mild shampoo.
Eggs are basically pure protein so they're great for strengthening your locks. You can use them as an all-natural hair mask by slathering your dry brushed hair with one or two beaten eggs. Let the eggs absorb into your hair for 10 to 25 minutes and wash with shampoo. You can also add some Aloe vera or olive oil to the egg mixture. Repeat this a couple of times a week for strong, thick hair.
Avocados are not only delicious, they're also rich in vitamins B and E, vitamins that have been linked to stimulating hair growth and the maintenance of healthy hair follicles. To use avocados on your hair, make a cream rinse by mashing a ripe avocado and adding water until the mix reaches conditioner-like consistency. Apply this mask to shampooed, wet hair and leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
Much like coconut oil, aloe vera gel has been known a super beauty ingredient for decades. In fact, you've probably been using Aloe vera-based products your whole life without noticing. Aloe vera contains proteolytic enzymes that repair dead skin cells on your scalp. It's also a powerful all-natural conditioner that promotes hair growth and prevents itching and dandruff. To use it on your hair, add two teaspoons of Aloe vera gel to your roots and massage your scalp with this it for 2 to 5 minutes. Leave it on for about 20 minutes and rinse with warm water. Repeat this process twice a week. For even better results use Aloe straight from the plant! Read more here about how to use aloe vera to prevent hair loss.
Your hair needs protein and vitamin B to look ravishing. While meat-eaters will generally get a good dose of both from beef, chicken, fish and cheese if you're vegan, you'll want to make sure you're eating enough protein-packed plant-based foods and that you're getting your vitamin B from fortified soy, nutritional yeast, or fortified cereals.

How to watch 'Law & Order' Season 7 with a legal marijuana expert
CBS News contributor and marijuana advocate Dan Riffle has written a new book about the history of marijuana legalization in America.
Riffle tells CBS News' Crimesider podcast that there's been a long history of people who claim to be marijuana activists who have been accused of violating the law.
They've all been charged with criminal trespass, he says, even though they were acting lawfully.
He says that in most cases, they are actually innocent.
He's not referring to people who have smoked pot, or those who have used marijuana in some way, but rather the people who use it in a legal way.
"I'm not talking about people who are doing the wrong thing or the illegal thing.
I'm talking about the people doing the right thing.
And if they are doing it lawfully, they should be able to do it," he said.
The author of "Selling Pot: Selling Pot for Real," which is due out next month, says there's a difference between a "legal" and a "illegal" marijuana sale.
"If you buy pot from a store and you're on the street and you have a baggie in your pocket, it's legal.
But if you're a criminal and you want to sell that baggie to somebody and you know that person's a criminal, it is illegal," he says.
Ruffle argues that marijuana legalization is a public health issue.
He says the legalization of marijuana will help combat the opioid epidemic.
"The fact that marijuana is the leading cause of accidental overdose in the United States is very significant," he tells Crimesider.
"It's one of the leading causes of overdose death and death from prescription drugs in the U.S. We can't afford to be letting this epidemic continue.
So we've got to do something to address it.
And that's why marijuana is legal.
And we're going to have to address that in this country."
