\section{Introduction}

During the past three decades, the puzzle of hidden order (HO)  in URu$_2$Si$_2$ attracts attention of condensed matter community (for the recent reviews see \cite{Mydosh2014, Mydosh2011} and references therein). This strange state develops below $17.5 K$. The corresponding electronic specific heat measurements indicates that below this  second-order-type transition about one half of the Fermi surface is removed. Nevertheless the material is still a good metal passing to the superconducting state below 1.4 K.

The de Haas van Alphen oscillations corresponding to three kinds of Fermi surfaces were observed clearly in both the normal and superconducting mixed states of URu$_2$Si$_2$ \cite{Ohkuni1999}. The frequency of oscillations
of so called $\alpha$ band is almost  independent from the field direction that corresponds to the practically spherical Fermi surface. At the same time the dHvA amplitude does not change with changes of field direction in the basal tetragonal plane while in the (010) plane, the signal amplitude becomes zero at about 10 different field angles.
 The authors of Ref.10  relate this observation with phenomenon of so called zero spin-splitting in which the up and down spin contribution to the oscillation cancel out. Namely,
 the dHvA amplitude is proportional to the spin factor
 \begin{equation}
 \cos(\pi g m^\star_c/2m)
 \label{cos}
 \end{equation}
  depending of $g$-factor value and cyclotron effective mass $m^\star_c$.\cite{Shoenberg,
 Pit}
The latter measured from the Dingle plot is
 about 10 times larger than the bar electron mass $m$. It means that  $g$-factor  undergoes   noticable variation as function of the field direction changed from parallel to tetragonal axis to  parallel to a-axis.

We note, however, that the  effect of multiple nullification of the dHvA signal amplitude as  function of magnetic field direction is determined by the product of g-factor and the cyclotron mass. These are quantities averaged over the line limiting the extremal cross section of the Fermi surface. So, in heavy fermionic materials when $m^*>>m$ , even not so strong anisotropy in each of these
 quantities  can produce multiple nullification in the dHvA amplitude as function of direction of magnetic field.

 This phenomenon quite recently has been studied  by measurements of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in the same material.\cite{Aoki} In addition to previous observations \cite{Ohkuni1999} there was revealed the  similar angular dependence of amplitude of $\beta$  band. The measured \cite{Hassinger2010} cyclotron masses
 for magnetic field parallel to $c$-axis are: $m_\alpha^*=12.4 m$ and $m_\beta^*=23.8 m$. They are proved roughly twice smaller for field parallel to $a$ axis. So, if the g-factor magnitude  undergoes similar double or so decrease,  the multiple nullification of dHvA signal amplitude is quite understandable.

 The g-factor anisotropy arises in a multiband metal possessing centre symmetry due to interband spin-orbital coupling. In case of tetragonal URu$_2$Si$_2$ the g-factor presents an uniaxial tensor
 \begin{equation}
 g_{\alpha\beta}({\bf k})=g_\perp({\bf k})(\hat x_\alpha\hat x_\beta+\hat y_\alpha\hat y_\beta)
+g_\parallel({\bf k})\hat z_\alpha\hat z_\beta.
 \end{equation}
 So, the  modest scale  of  g-factor anisotropy can be expectable due to spin-orbital coupling without attracting of exotic mechanisms  in an attempt to explain seeming Ising anisotropy of g-factors of  conducting electrons.

 Effective $g$-factor value  determining amplitude of de Haas-van Alphen signal  from the particular extremal cross section of the Fermi surface is given by the average the momentum dependent $g$-factor over the curve encircling this area
 \begin{equation}
 g_{eff}=\frac{\oint \frac{dl}{v_F({\bf k})}g({\bf k})}{\oint \frac{dl}{v_F({\bf k})}}.
 \end{equation}
 The  anisotropy of $g_{eff}$  has no direct relationship with the $g$-factor anisotropy determining so called paramagnetic limiting field for superconducting state as it was proposed in recent publications \cite{Alt}.
The latter is determined by  $g$-factors  extracted from the  magnetic susceptibility proportional to the average of the product of square of local $g({\bf k})$ factor and the local density of states  $N_0({\bf k})$ over the whole  Fermi surface area including all band sheets.  The whole susceptibility can also include the van Vleck component.
So, the  anisotropy in "$g$-factor"  extracted from susceptibility has less common with anisotropy of de Haas-van Alphen $g$-factor.
It is also pertinent to mention here, that  although the susceptibility in URu$_2$Si$_2$ along $c$-axis is three times larger than along $a$-axis \cite{Palstra}
it is not an argument to think  that the suppression of superconducting state in URu$_2$Si$_2$ is determined by pure paramagnetic mechanism.

An attempt to explain the $g$-factor anisotropy  has been undertaken by virtue of arising  of "hastatic" ordering that breaks double time-reversal symmetry, mixing states of integer and half-spin.\cite{Flint}

  In contrast to this exotic approach recently on the basis of relativistic density functional theory  there was shown  that the bandlike $5f$ electrons in URu$_2$Si$_2$ exhibit colossal Ising behavior.\cite{Werwinski} The origin of the peculiar anisotropy is found due to specific Fermi surface structure and the strong spin-orbital interaction.
The calculations \cite{Werwinski} has been performed for the AF phase where  according to Ref.16 the Fermi surface is practically identical to that of the HO phase.

We have already argued
that multiple nullification of dHvA amplitude in a
 heavy fermionic metal can be explained  taking  into account  some modest anisotropy of effective $g$-factor arising due to interband spin-orbital interaction.
Here we will show that the g-factor anisotropy  inevitably appears even in a single band metal  due to formation of specific commensurate charge density wave. In the next section  it is shown that  is  the most plausible candidate for the URu$_2$Si$_2$ hidden ordered state  is commensurate antiferroelectric ordering.
The source of $g$-factor anisotropy based on argumentation  has been proposed several years ago by
 R.Ramazashvili \cite{Ramazashvili2008,Ramazashvili2009}  that a commensurate  antiferromagnetic order  leads to  momentum dependence of conducting  electrons $g$-factor.
 One can come to  similar conclusions for a metal with antiferroelectric ordering as well. This will be done in the third section followed by conclusion.

\section{Hidden Order}

There was proposed a lot of theories to explain the HO phenomenon (see reviews  \cite{Mydosh2014, Mydosh2011}). Meanwhile  several recent and not so recent experimental developments are able to put serious restrictions on theoretical phantasies. In fact  the symmetry  of HO state is practically fixed   by experimental observations.

URu$_2$Si$_2$ is a tetragonal material with uranium atoms forming body centered tetragonal lattice. There was found  \cite{Amitsuka2009} that  at pressure 0.5 GPa
at low enough  temperatures  HO state  abruptly  transforms to two-sub-lattice antiferromagnetic state.  The magnetic moments of the order 0.4 $\mu_B$
aligned parallel and antiparallel to $c$-axis are  disposed on uranium atoms with ordering vector ${\bf q}=(1,0,0)$ such that the body-centered tetragonal structure transforms to the simple tetragonal one. Further investigations demonstrated that  at all temperatures HO and AF state are separated from each other  by the first order type transition,  that is the first order transition line is finished at  some bicritical point on the line of the second-order-type transition $T_c$$($$P$$)$.\cite{Motoyama2003} This observation has the important consequence:  the HO state and AF state have to  have the different symmetries. This is because at  their symmetry coincidence,  the line of the first order transition should obligatory terminate at some critical point  below $T_c$$($$P$$)$ as it was demonstrated in the paper \cite{Mineev2005}.

Another important observation relating to symmetry of HO state  was done by measurements of Shubnikov-de-Haas effect on high quality URu$_2$Si$_2$  single crystals.\cite{Hassinger2010} Namely, there was shown that under pressure for field $H\parallel \hat z$ the Fermi surface reveals only minor changes between the HO state and AF state.
This was strong indication that both phases have the same unit cell doubling and the same ordering vector.

The change in the electronic periodicity at the transition from the normal body-centered tetragonal state to the simple tetragonal HO state   has been revealed  recently by ARPES \cite{Meng2013,Yoshida2013,Bareille2014} and polarization resolved Raman spectroscopy \cite{Kung2014,Buhot2014} measurements.
Thus, the similarity  between HO phase and the high pressure AF phase found in quantum-oscillation experiments has been confirmed.

So, we come to the conclusion  that   normal and HO states have different translational symmetries and the HO and AF states have the same translational and rotational symmetry but at the same time these phases should be symmetrically different. This case, there  is only one opportunity for hidden ordering. It   is nonconventional commensurate charge density wave (CDW) along vector ${\bf q}=(1,0,0)$, that is periodic in space ordering of multipole charge distributions  around the uranium sites possessing of local tetragonal symmetry.  The appearance of such type ordering has to  change magnetization distribution induced in a single crystal of URu$_2$Si$_2$ under a magnetic field applied along the tetragonal c axis that has been observed and  reported in Ref.22.

The nonconventional commensurate spin density  wave (SDW) as candidate for the HO is forbidden because this case the HO and AF phases will have the same symmetry.
On the contrary the symmetry allows nonconventional CDW ordering including  local breaking of the space parity  like a periodic distribution of multipoles alternating by their  mirror reflections.  This case the initial normal state body centered  tetragonal lattice transforms below 17.5 K to simple tetragonal material formed by two sub-lattices differing from  each other by the space inversion.
Such type commensurate chiral density wave ground state has actually been proposed in Ref. 20. We shall call this state  antiferroelectric state (AFE).  This state can  in general  include also the usual antiferromagnetic component such that two sub-lattices transfer each other by application both space and time inversion and shift on vector  ${\bf q}=(1,0,0)$.

Thus,  the HO state is either nonconventional CDW  or AFE commensurate ordering. In the former case we deal with  the simple doubling of body-centered tetragonal unit cell modulated by charge distribution,
in the  latter,  the body-centered  lattice consists of two
 sub-lattices differ each other at least by the space parity transformation. We shall demonstrate that  this gives rise to
 momentum dependence of electron $g$-factor revealing itself in the  dependence of the amplitude of quantum magnetic oscillations from the direction of magnetic field.

 \section{g-factor anisotropy in antiferroelectric state}

 The modification of electron spectrum in single band metal caused  by an antiferroelectric (AFE) ordering doubling the initial period of crystal lattice can be derived introducing the Rashba-Bychkov modulation in one-electron Hamiltonian
 \begin{eqnarray}
H_{AFE}=\sum_{{\bf k}}\left [(\varepsilon_{\bf k}\delta_{\alpha\beta}
-{\bf h}\mbox{\boldmath$\sigma$}_{\alpha\beta})
a^\dagger_{{\bf k}\alpha}a_{{\bf k}\beta}\right.~~~~~~~~~~\nonumber\\
\left.+
i{\bf l}_{\bf k}
\mbox{\boldmath$\sigma$}_{\alpha\beta} (a^\dagger_{{\bf k}+{\bf q}/2,\alpha}a_{{\bf k}-{\bf q}/2,\beta}-a^\dagger_{{\bf k}-{\bf q}/2,\alpha}a_{{\bf k}+{\bf q}/2,\beta})\right ]
.
\label{1}
\end{eqnarray}
Here,
\begin{equation}
{\bf h}=g\mu_B{\bf H}/2
\end{equation}
 is constant magnetic field acting on electron spins, $ \mbox{\boldmath$\sigma$}  $ are the Pauli matrices. For simplicity we keep only one harmonic in AFE modulation. Its amplitude is determined by  real pseudovector ${\bf l}_{\bf k}$ which satisfies ${\bf l}_{\bf k}=-{\bf l}_{-{\bf k}}$ and $g{\bf l}_{g^{-1}{\bf k}}={\bf l}_{\bf k} $  where $g$  is any symmetry operation in the point group  $D_4$ not ncluding space inversion.

It is instructive to compare the hamiltonian (\ref{1}) with corresponding hamiltonian of  a single-band metal with single harmonic antiferromagnetic (AF) modulation
 \begin{eqnarray}
H_{AF}=\sum_{{\bf k}}\left [(\varepsilon_{\bf k}\delta_{\alpha\beta}
-{\bf h}\mbox{\boldmath$\sigma$}_{\alpha\beta})
a^\dagger_{{\bf k}\alpha}a_{{\bf k}\beta}\right.~~~~~~~~~~\nonumber \\
\left.+
\mbox{\boldmath$\sigma$}_{\alpha\beta}
({\bf h}^s_{\bf k}a^\dagger_{{\bf k}+{\bf q}/2,\alpha}a_{{\bf k}-{\bf q}/2,\beta}+{\bf h}^{s*}_{\bf k}a^\dagger_{{\bf k}-{\bf q}/2,\alpha}a_{{\bf k}+{\bf q}/2,\beta})\right ]
.
\label{2}
\end{eqnarray}
Here, the  amplitude of the staggered field ${\bf h}^s_{\bf k}={\bf h}^s_{-{\bf k}}$  is an even function of the momentum.

The difference of two hamiltonians is the following : the AFE hamiltonian  is time reversal symmetric but it breaks the space inversion symmetry,  on the contrary, the AF hamiltonian breaks the time inversion but it keeps the space parity.\cite{Samokhin}
These difference, however,  is not important for electron energy bands dispersion: in both cases it is described by equivalent equations.

To find the band energies for AFE
 one must  diagonalize the energy matrix
\begin{equation}
\hat E=\left( \begin{array}{cc}
\varepsilon_{{\bf k}+{\bf q}/2}-{\bf h}\mbox{\boldmath$\sigma$} &i{\bf l}_{\bf k}\mbox{\boldmath$\sigma$}\\
-i{\bf l}_{\bf k}\mbox{\boldmath$\sigma$} &\varepsilon_{{\bf k}-{\bf q}/2}-{\bf h}\mbox{\boldmath$\sigma$}
\end{array}\right ).
\end{equation}
 For simplicity we write the corresponding band energies for two particular field directions along and perpendicular tetragonal axis.

So, for ${\bf h} \parallel \hat z$ we obtain
\begin{equation}
{\cal E}_{h_z}=\varepsilon_+\pm\sqrt{{ l_x}^2+{ l_y}^2+
\left (\sqrt{\varepsilon_-^2+{\bf l}^2_z}\pm h_z\right )^2},
\label{z}
\end{equation}
and for ${\bf h}\parallel \hat x$
\begin{equation}
{\cal E}_{h_x}=\varepsilon_+\pm\sqrt{{ l_y}^2+{ l_z}^2+
\left (\sqrt{\varepsilon_-^2+{\bf l}^2_x}\pm h_x\right )^2}.
\label{p}
\end{equation}
Here
\begin{equation}
\varepsilon_\pm=\frac{\varepsilon_{{\bf k}+{\bf q}/2}\pm\varepsilon_{{\bf k}-{\bf q}/2}}{2}.
\end{equation}
Thus, the initial  band in field absence splits on two bands  due to AFE period doubling. Each of these bands splits on two under magnetic field.

Let us assume that basal plane spin orbital coupling ${\bf l}^2_\perp= l_x^2+{ l_y}^2$ is negligibly small. Then for ${\bf h} \parallel \hat z$
 \begin{equation}
{\cal E}_{h_z}=\varepsilon_+\pm
\left (\sqrt{\varepsilon_-^2+{\bf l}^2_z}\pm h_z\right ),
\label{z1}
\end{equation}
and we see, that magnetic field band splitting does not undergo  a change, that means g-factor is completely the same as in absence of spin-orbital interaction:
\begin{equation}
g_\parallel=2.
\end{equation}
On the contrary for field ${\bf h}\parallel \hat x$ we have  in linear in field approximation
\begin{equation}
{\cal E}_{h_x}\approx\varepsilon_+\pm
\left (\sqrt{\varepsilon_-^2+{\bf l}^2_z}\pm\frac{|\varepsilon_-|}{\sqrt{\varepsilon_-^2+{\bf l}^2_z}}h_x \right ).
\label{x1}
\end{equation}
If the magnitude $|\varepsilon_-|$ on  the corresponding   de Haas - van Alphen orbit  is much smaller than the spin-orbit  amplitude $|l_z|$  the spin splitting proves to be negligibbly small:
\begin{equation}
g_\perp\ll g_\parallel.
\end{equation}
So, by comparison of equations (\ref{z1}) and (\ref{x1}) we come to the conclusion  of g-factor anisotropy.

\section{Conclusion}

The whole body of experimental developments including the de Haas - van Alphen and the Shubnikov- de Haas measurements, ARPES and Raman spectroscopy and polarized neutron scattering allows to  fixe the order parameter of so called hidden order in URu$_2$Si$_2$ as nonconventional charge density wave or antiferroelectric commensurate ordering.   It is shown that  like the antiferromagnetism the antiferroelectric modulation causes essential quasi-momentum dependence of gyromagnetic factor of conducting electrons.
Depending on particular band structure and spin-orbital interaction  the g-factor anisotropy can be strong or weak. However, in heavy fermionic metals even modest anisotropy  of g-factor  produce effect of zero-spin splitting  manifesting itself in multiple nullification in the amplitude of the de Haas - van Alphen and the Shubnikov - de Haas signals as function of direction of magnetic field.

Myths About Vibrators
How to Use Vibrators Safely
Vibrators are sex toys that are used on the body to create sexual stimulation. Modern vibrators, also known as massagers, use electronic power to create vibrations or pulses. Vibrators come in many shapes and sizes.
Vibrators are used by placing the device on sensitive erogenous zones, which are places on your body that increase sexual pleasure. They can be used externally on the penis, vulva, clitoris and anus, or can be used internally in the anus or vagina. Continued stimulation can create feelings of sexual pleasure, and may eventually lead to orgasm.
Vibrators can be used alone or with a partner. Vibrator use is popular among both men and women of all sexual orientations. Over 43.8% of heterosexual males and 49.8% of homosexual men in the United States reported vibrator use, either alone or with partners. Another study found that 52.5% of women ages 18-60 in the United States have used a vibrator before.
Vibrators can increase feelings of sexual pleasure and make orgasms easier to achieve. Scientists are not entirely sure why vibrators feel good, but vibrators can help both men and women orgasm more quickly. As Debby Hebernick, the director of India University's Center for Sexual Health Promotion, told Mic, different people may prefer different intensity levels of vibration, and some people may be more sensitive to vibration than others. There are many different types of vibrators, so some may be better suited for certain people than others.
Some surveys show that almost half of women are unhappy with how often they are able to reach orgasm. Orgasms release the hormone oxytocin, which can create feelings of affection or social bonding, and may increase feelings of happiness.
While many people enjoy vibrators, they are especially popular amongst women who have trouble orgasming through masturbation or penetration from a partner. Many sexual health experts suggest women experiencing these issues use a vibrator to help them achieve orgasm more easily.
Vibrators may also be helpful for people who have low libido ("sex drive"), anorgasmia (a condition where a person cannot reach orgasm), motor or sensory disabilities, or conditions that prevent vaginal penetration.
One popular myth about vibrators is that overuse of vibrators can make sex without a vibrator less fulfilling. However, vibrators do not numb the genitals or make your genitals less sensitive to non-electronic stimulation.
In fact, one study found that only 11% of vibrator users reported genital numbness on occasion, and only 3% said that they experienced genital numbing frequently.
Vibrators are safe to use. Research shows that side effects related to vibrator use are extremely rare.
There are many different styles of vibrators. Some styles are meant for insertion, while others are not. Additionally, some may vibrate more strongly than others. Some vibrators plug into the wall while others are battery operated. You may want to do some research to pick a vibrator that will satisfy your needs, although many vibrators have a variety of possible uses and vibration strength settings.
Lube may also help make vibrator use more pleasurable. As Lauren Streicher, MD, explains in Women's Health Magazine, it is important to make sure that the lube is compatible with your toy. Usually, water-based lubes are best.
It is important to read the directions of the vibrator before using. Do not insert vibrators anally if the vibrator is not meant for anal insertion.
Talking to Your Partner About Trying Vibrators
You can use vibrators alone or with a partner. You may find that these toys help to increase your physical excitement before intercourse, or may help you achieve orgasm. When talking with your partner, you may find it helpful to explain that using a vibrator may help you achieve certain sensations that are not possible without it.
It may be helpful to familiarize yourself with your vibrator before using it with a partner. Play around with the different settings, and figure out different spots on your body that may feel good.
It is very important to always clean your vibrator, as bacteria left on the toy can cause infections like urinary tract infections. Cleaning is especially important when you have used your vibrator with a partner, or when it may have touched your anus.
Hard plastic and silicone toys are easiest to clean with anti-bacterial soap and cool or warm water. Most vibrators can be lightly immersed in water, but read the instructions to find out if your silicone toy can be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Category Archives: Chinese Hair Pin
China: Ancient Combs of the World, by Kajetan Fiedorowicz
When the artist inside rules you, you climb mountains. Society judges you on your idiosyncrasies alone, unless you can communicate why you devoted your life to a love of something. With Kajetan Fiedorowicz, this love was for combs. I believe his artistic eye; his instincts that allow him to understand genius, in whatever condition it comes, from where ever it comes; his taste and class; and his passion for scholarship has made him one of the greatest comb collectors in the world. Hair combs are blessed because he fell in love with them.
He wanted his collection to be a comb museum, but tragedy and unimaginable heartbreak struck. Some scorned him. They tried to beat him. That's when you know who your friends are. Others never wavered. "Never surrender," he always said to me.
Today that strength of character triumphed. The KF Comb Research Project announced the prototype publication of "China: Ancient Combs of the World, Vol. IV."
He said, "Very important for this vol. IV on ancient Chinese combs was to get it proof read and checked by someone educated and competent with this particular and very narrowly specialised subject matter. I was fortunate to get through to the best person, Miss Jing Yang, the senior researched in Palace Museum in Beijing,
"who is also an author of the best selling book on a history of Chinese combs and hair ornaments, pictured below."
"It has been my honour and a privilege to receive a favourable opinion from such a prominent researcher. And her signature in my book prototype… how epic :) is that."
"I also thank Wu Yi Shiuan for making this possible." (Editors note: Wu Yi Shiuan is the founder and head of the Chinese Hairpin Museum)
Kajetan continues, "I'm pleased to report major progress with my books on ancient and ethnic combs of the world. As some of you may know, I'm working on a series of 5 volumes presenting (in pictures) the results of my long time research and collecting efforts, divided by cultural regions. The first test copies were printed and I'm in a process of fixing unavoidable errors."
Perfect English grammar eludes us all, even those of us who think in English. However, you rarely find an uncompromising purist you can trust to identify every single piece correctly. That takes 30 years to do, and he's done it. Only love could have produced the photographs in this book.
Kajetan, you changed my life with that Māori comb auction on E-bay. I wrote about you before knowing you existed, and amused you in the process. Then I met you, and you taught me how to see. If you can do this, I can overcome my life's mountains, too. Thank you for these books. Thank you for your life.

Creative Museum: Stones, Leaves, Scissors
The Creative Museum just played a significant part in another exhibition at the Montelimar Miniature Museum.
STONES, LEAVES, SCISSORS is about hair ornaments made in three different ways. Whether an artist looks at a piece of jade and carves a crown, looks at a piece of silver and cuts leaves into an intricate pattern, or takes lock of hair and puts it in a locket or medallion — each method of craftsmanship is showcased.
The ground floor is dedicated to semi-precious stones on hair ornaments. This Chinese jade crown made in the Qing Dynasty and decorated with a phoenix is a great example.
Dragon figures were male symbols. When they were carved on a crown's side wings, it was a sign of a well-read Chinese man. The wings could also be upright, as in this example of open-worked pale green jade. The solid parts are carved with dragons, which are also an emblem of power.
Jade stone was supposed to help deceased people reach heaven, so a jade comb was added to other burial objects inside the tomb. Transparency is one of its qualities. Its infinite shades — such as olive green, almond green, pinkish brown, or orchid white — are endless.
Women wore jade on more discrete ornaments. They usually preferred jadeite, which was less expensive and enjoyed the vivid green color against their jet black hair. This delicate hair ornament is for a "liang-patou" (large hair knot or black silk knot) and is richly decorated with gems and pearls. Note the little butterfly with a coral bead on the tip of its antennas.
From China again, these bright pink tourmalines strengthen the dazzle of the bright blue kingfisher feathers inlaid in Manchu adornments.
Amber is a fossil resin which presents different shades of yellow. It is pale yellow when it comes from the Baltic Sea, and a clear caramel color when from Europe. The plaque on this tortoiseshell comb features typical Skonvirke style flowers. It is made of repousse silver embellished with Baltic amber beads. (Hallmarks: H&C 830 S: H.N Hviid & Co in Copenhagen.)
In the same museum case, we added the brick red of cornelian from central asian adornments such as this double-sided Turkomen wedding comb, which is made of wood covered with embossed brass and decorated with gemstones on both sides.
We also included another liang-patou ornament, featuring twins carved in amber inside a lotus flower. The flower was once fully inlaid with kingfisher feathers. These figures are symbol of fertility.
The red garnet and the purple amethyst meet on Western pieces such as these two French Empire combs, one of glass stones, and the other sporting real amethysts.
Our Indian hair pin with opal and ruby, tortoiseshell Eugenie comb with malachite balls, and our theatre tiara with crystal quartz complete this colored collection of stones, a real must for any jewelry collection.
The leaves theme shows the use of floral design on hair ornaments, complex decoration that required highly skilled craftsmen. In the museum case, Chinese mirrors shine like bright stars next to hair combs decorated with branches and leaves. In Japan, nature has always been at the forefront of artists' inspiration. This comb from Dejima painted with branches and leaves, and our Edo comb with chrysanthemums are perfect examples.
Tsunami kanzashi are hair pins whose flowers are made with folded silk squares.
When older women have formal parties, they favor traditional dress. They love older style kanzashi wedding sets. This silver wedding kanzashi portrays the long-living turtle Minogame and the crane, symbols of longevity and happiness.
This wedding headdress with exuberant blooms comes from the Miao people, a Chinese minority. It is part of a bridal dowry, and it would have been considered sacrilegious to have taken it away from the bride for any reason.
In the late 19th Century, Chinese craftsmen, who were expert at carving ivory and tortoiseshell, made ornamental combs for the Western market. Flowers like the lotus, a symbol of purity; the chrysanthemum, a symbol of longevity; and the rose, a symbol of luck; were the most popular designs.
On this hair ornament from Burma, the decoration appears like a flower and leaf bridge.
A spectacular headdress brings to an end, the leaves theme. It comes from Sumatra, weighs 3.3 pounds, and is worn for weddings. Each element is a flower, mounted on a spring stem, decorated with tiny leaves.
Today, we are surprised to see hair used as a material for jewelry, but it was very common in Victorian times. Bracelets, necklaces, brooches, even diadems were made with it. The British and French deeply appreciated wearing medallions with their initials: charm drops, pendants, and collar and cuff buttons made of woven hair. Medallions were often made as reliquary, which kept the permanent memory of a loved person. The traditional motif was a tomb with willow tree and cyprus as symbols of death.

Learning from the Creative Museum and Ethnic Jewellery and Adornment
In quotes are comments from Ethnic Jewellery and Adornment by Truus Daalder . Reference numbers are in italics and specified at the bottom. The photographs and other writing come from the collection and scholarship of The Creative Museum. I thought it would be interesting to combine them. They crossed paths in China, Indonesia, and Southeast Asia.
कंघी
"It is in the hairstyles and head decorations that perhaps the greatest variety of shapes exist, and the Southern Chinese minorities are possibly second only to the Mongolians in the exuberance of their headwear, particularly during festivals. Girls preserve hair lost in combing to compose extra hairpieces to incorporate into elaborate coiffures." (1)
The dots and circles on the bone tines of this comb from The Creative Museum were made using pyrography, a technique where decorations are burned into wood or bone using a heated object. It also has cotton threads, black and white glass beads and a huge red pom pom in the middle. Red is the color of good fortune in China. The comb belongs to the Yao people.
"In pre-historic times, most of present-day Indonesia was attached to mainland Southeast Asia… However, when the ice melted after the last Ice Age, about 10,000 years ago, low-lying land was covered by sea, and Indonesia turned into a country of thousands of islands… Over time, waves of migrants came to the Indonesian islands, particularly from mainland Southeast Asia." (2)
The dugout-canoe shape of this striking, lacquered black-horn comb from the Creative Museum evokes the boat that brought ancestors from the south-east Asiatic continent to the Indonesian archipelago. It was made c. 1970.
"The mainland of Southeast Asia is the meeting place of many borders and many ethnic groups. Burma, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam share many of their borders with each other, and often share ethnic groups, as well." (3)
Among the reasons for this are
During the Ming Dynasty, the Han Chinese pushed minority groups south, and many settled in Southeast Asia
Barbarian invasions from the North and Northwest pushed some Tai language speakers to Burma, Laos, and Thailand
In the 19th century, kingdoms, such as the Khmer in Cambodia, gained and lost power, and there was British and French colonial expansion. Both factors changed the borders within Southeast Asia
In 1949, minority groups who fought Communism fled China when Mao won, and fled Laos in 1975, when the Communists took over there
Borders were of little concern to ethnic groups who practiced slash-and-burn agriculture (4)
The pyramid-shaped hair pins from The Creative Museum are worn by Red Taï and Hmong women in Laos. Their hairstyles often took more than one pin to keep them in place.
Made in the early 20th Century, the long one has a pyramid shape and ornate filigree decorations. It is hollow with a lid and used as a tobacco container, a marriage between beauty and function. The shorter one is wood wrapped in silver.
"The last dynasty before a period of instability and finally the victory of Communism in 1949 was the Manchu Qing Dynasty, consisting of Manchurian invaders from the North, which ruled from 1644 – 1911… Coral, jade, and pearls were popular, and during the Qing Dynasty there was also a revival of kingfisher feather jewellery. This was so popular that the kingfisher bird with the brightest blue feathers was hunted to extinction" (5)
Showcasing this history, the last piece I will feature is The Creative Museum's stunning Manchu hairpin. It has three dimensions. The first layer is made of branch coral, amber, jadeite, and kingfisher feathers. The second layer is a circle of small coral beads, strung in small heart shapes. The third has a kingfisher decoration at the center. The piece is shaped to form a flower and bring good luck to the wearer.

Chinese Hair Pins and Desolate, Derelict Pain
I saw. I gasped. I wanted — so badly, silent screams came from secret parts of my body.
In 1644, the Aisin-Goro clan of the Tungusic Jurchen people from Manchuria (now Northeast China) conquered the Han Chinese in the South. The Ming Dynasty gave way to the Qing Dynasty. These are Qing Dynasty silver hair pins made during the reign of the Guangxu emperor Aisin-Gioro Zaitian (1875 – 1908). He was the Dynasty's 11th and penultimate emperor.
Beautifully preserved enamel encases coral drops. Hand-crafted butterflies and flowers punctuate the chains. The pair is in original condition.
The auction on E-bay started at $0.99. I watched as the price climbed to $300, 18 hours before auction end: 26 bids. I knew it was going to go, and I couldn't enter that shock-and-awe $1000 snipe bid to win.
But I was wrong. Someone DID put in that nuclear snipe bid, and they lost! The hair pins sold for $1025 on March 25, 2013, to the 37th bidder. Congratulations.

Taiwan Hair Pin Museum
As she started her day, a mother of three prepared herself for her family and tasks. In addition to her dress, she put up her hair with pins. Her life's routine: cooking, caring, washing, stories untold.
The Taiwan Hair Pin Museum is dedicated to her. Monetary value does not dictate its 1000-piece collection, restoration does. They have a Hair Pin Hospital.
Established on Chinese New Year's Eve 2011, they want viewers to feel as close to the objects they display as the women who used them. Their collection spans from antiquity to the modern age. Of equal importance are photographs of the women who wore them.
"We hope we can save hairpins which people think are not important and find the true value of these hairpins, try to find a story behind ordinary objects that women used and cherished every day."
Here are some pictures:
Oxidized bronze hair pin excavated from a grave.
Metal hair pin, woman's hand holding ball

Metal hair pin with a coin of Queen Victoria

Middle name - Alan, I once told people it was Amadeus, and was beleived as my family likes classical music, it seemed plausable.
I celebrated my 40th birthday with a party at The Old Golf House Outlane Huddersfield.
I was born with a visual impairment, and when I was a child I had eye surgery about once a year, up to the age of about 13. or it seemed like it.
My last eye operation took place at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary at Lindly, all the previous ones were at the New North Road site, which is now the Huddersfield Technical College.
Up until my mid twenties I have worn spectacles, then following an incidemt while cycling, I had to break sharply and my glasses flew off and broke, I decided to try a contact lens, this worked out fine for a while, but then I started a job where the only practical solution was to wear bi-focal spectacles.
A year or two later I was asked to play in goal in an 18 Plus football competition, I decided to get out my contact lens, and have worn one ever since.
Recently I have found that I have been losing my contact lens too often, so have replaced my hard lens for disposable soft contact lenses and a new pair of bi-focal spec's which I mostly wear at work.
Parents - Kathleen & Alan Smith.
Brother: - David Andrew Smith, he works for Kirklees Council's Employment Service for people with disabilities, Worklink.
Go to HuddNet to find out more about Huddersfield, but not just yet, save the link to your Browser's BookMarks or HotList, and have a good look round my Web Site first.
I am currently a member of the Huddersfield 18 Plus Group. Check out the Huddersfield 18 Plus Page to find out where and when we meet.
"Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed" - Jonathan Swift.
Have a look at The WWW Bible Gateway to find out what I mean by Closet Christian, then come back here and look round some more. (Try entering the word "Closet").
The Bible Gateway is a very good site for people wishing to look up quotations from the Bible, different versions of the Bible can be examined, my favourite is the King James version.
Please come back when you have looked up the word closet in the King James version of the Bible.
Politics - formerly Red, now Anarchist.
I went on two Easter Tours with the Huddersfield C.T.C. one to Whitby, and the other to Aysgarth. both weekends were Youth Hostelling trips.
My first adult bike was a Raleigh Hercules Balmoral which I used to cycle to work on when I first worked for Halfords in Huddersfield.
My next bycycle was an old Dawes Galaxy, it had a white frame with blue transfers.
Next I got a custom made Columbia framed cycle.
In early 1998 I bought a second-hand Dawes Galaxy from a work colleague, unfortunately it was stolen.
In 2001 I had my Columbia serviced and upgraded by Wheelspin Cycles, Huddersfield, a couple of months later, the bottom bracket bearing fell apart ???
For photography I have a Canon A1 S.L.R. camera. and a Canon AE1 S.L.R. camera.
I used to have an Olympus Trip AF compact camera which sadly I now no longer use due to it's extreme old age (i bought it second hand).
I now use an Advanced Photo System camera, the Fuji Nexia.
I also had an Advanced Photo System Yashica Samurai camera which I bought while on Holiday in Cornwall over the Easter period 1999. Sadly this was stolen.
Recently I bought a Sony Digital camera.
For video I use a Sony DV Handycam. I also use a Panasonic FS90 VCR for editing.
I started with an Amiga A500 which I initially used for video titling, later I installed my Amiga A500 into a Checkmate case. I now do D.T.P. as well.
I later had an Amiga A1200 which I purchased second-hand. I have installed a 68030 accelerator with 32MB RAM, and a 1GB hard disk drive.
I also have an Amiga A1200 installed in an Eyetech case. My latest Amiga is the Amithlon system.
I used the brilliant Net Connect for Internet connection.
My Service Provider was Wirenet Amiga which was affiliated to U-Net, sadly niether company seems to exist anymore.
Even at work I was able to use the Amiga computer, see the Multimedia at the Housing & Health Unit page for more details. Sadly this hasn't been the case for a long time.
More recently I have purchased a second hand "PC" which I upgraded to a faster processor. I now have an almost entirely new system but with some of the internal hardware from my original system.
I also habe an Apple iMac which I bought to do video editing on. I have upgraded this to OSX and AirPort.
I joined 18 Plus in 1997 when I was 19. My nights out previously had been spent with a friend from School who I had fallen out with not long before, so I did'nt go out much.
My mother saw an article in the paper about a fancy dress cricket match organised by the local 18 Plus Group, she suggested I attend.
After some persuassion I attended my first meeting, there were few members, and I was'nt very impressed however, I went a few more times and then after a short absence I turned up at a meeting and there were lots of members. It was'nt long after that I joined, and I have been a member ever since.
Here is a recent article about me from the Yorkshire Area 18 Plus Magazine Alyve.
In 1984 the first 18 Plus War of the Roses competition took place in Holmfirth near Huddersfield, at the time I was Chairman of the Huddersfield 18 Plus Group and I was keen to see the event take place in Huddersfield.
I was War of the Roses 1986, War of the Roses 1996 and War of the Roses 1998 Chairman. In the year 2000 I was the War of the Roses 2000 organiser.

Recently I have been associated with the 18 Plus Dossers Click on the Link to find out the significance of the following to the "Dossers"; "The Bovis Skill", "Anti-Christ", "Ted Bovis", "The 18 Plus WASH weekend"
In 1997 Yorkshire Area 18 Plus organised a Charity Appeal in aid of the Annual B.B.C. Children in Need Appeal.
I am currently a member of the new Huddersfield 18 Plus Group.
In 1997 I cycled to Nottingham for the National Federation of 18 Plus Groups' TAG weekend.

Here is a run down of my Musical, Cinema, Literary and television tastes.
The Star Trek series, The Indianna Jones series, The Big Country, Cyrano de Berjerac, The Saint, Young Frankenstein, Blazing saddles, The Final Remake of Beau Geste, Sherlock Holmes' smarter brother, Robin Hood - men in tights, The Pink Panther series.
The Internet Movie Database (IMDb). A database of over 117,000 movies This is an absolutely brilliant Web Site for anyone interested in the Cinema, If you have never been to this Web site then you must check it out once you have finished here.
A couple of years ago I bought a video of the film Cyrano De Berjerac starring Jose Ferrar as a Christmas present for my father, he recommended it, having seen it at the cinema in his youth. Now that I've seen it, I've been looking for the book in various book shops.
Here's an English translation of Cyrano De Berjerac from Project Guttenberg. Here's avery good Cyrano De Berjerac Web Site.
I recently saw the Gerard Depardieu version of Cyrano De Berjerac which I thoroughly enjoyed, I now have a copy of the film on video.
Created Cyrano De Bergerac Page. (Now mini Web Site).
I'm not a big reader, but I do enjoy he Novels of A E Van Vogt, science fiction writer, and Leslie Charteris, author of The Saint books.
The first A E Van Vogt novel I read was "Quest for the future". I can't remember how I first decided to read A E Van Vogt, the first Science Fiction book I had was "The best of Isaac Asimov" which I received along with a Geography Encyclopedia in December 1973 at a School presentation.
I do remember the first Saint book I bought, it cost 20p at a fund-raising gala day at the School that took place a year or two after I left, it was the second Saint book "Enter The Saint". I bought it just so that I had bought something, it caught my eye as it was the subject of a T.V. programme of the time that I enjoyed - The Saint starring Roger Moore. After reading the novel I was hooked.
I am now a member of The Saint Club - click here for more information about The Saint and details of The Saith Club.

Here's an English translation of Cyrano De Berjerac from Project Guttenberg.
Beethoven's piano Concerto number 3 was the first record I bought for my 18th birthday.
I work for the Housing & Health Unit as an Adaptations Officer.
I worked for Halfords from 1975 to 1984, and ISCO 5 from 1985 to 1987. In March 1987 I started work at the Disabled Living Centre, (D.L.C.) now known as the Housing and Health Unit.


I have multiple dataseries of around 20,000 points each, and the calculation of each point originates from one of three sources. I would like to show, for each point, a different data point marker depending on the origin of the point. Each point marker should also show some meta data about the calculation origin in a tooltip when it is moused over.
I have been able to achieve this effect using the Annotations API, as shown here: http://s4.postimg.org/otgc4yk3x/markers.png but chart performance grinds to a halt with an AnnotationCollection of up to 100,000 annotations attached to the surface.
Can I show this information in another way that will be performant, taking advantage of virtualisation, efficient algorithms on sorted data etc.? I was thinking that I may be able to add the point origins as metadata to the XyDataSeries, benefit from the performance optimisations that come with a SciChart series, and show the metadata in DataPointMarkers with tooltips? Could this work? Can I also have a differently shaped datapoint marker for each point depending on the metadata?
The PaletteProvider API allows you to draw a different colour for each data-point of a series. Supported series in v3.2 include Line, Column, Mountain, Scatter, Candlestick, Ohlc. In v3.1 fewer series are supported.
You can see an overview of the API at Change Series Colour Dynamically (PaletteProvider) and a live demo at the Using PaletteProvider Example.
If you use this technique, I would propose having a FastLineRenderableSeries and separate XyScatterRenderableSeries which has the same data and a palette provider to colour the points.
Using our RenderContext you can draw to the screen directly. Please see CustomRenderableSeries API Overview and Creating a Custom Spline Line Series.
If you scroll down to the section Drawing Point Markers it shows how to draw markers at data-points.
If you use this technique I would recommend inheriting FastLineRenderableSeries and re-using the base.InternalDraw() method, but implementing your own code to just draw point markers afterwards.
I hope this helps, and if you get a good solution, feel free to share it so others can benefit!
Hi Andrew, I've been going down the XyScatterRenderableSeries route, but I've run into an issue. I can plot the data, but it's all invisible because I can't set the PointMarker from the code. I need to do it from the code because the chart is dynamic, i.e. I add series and data on the fly, and xaml is too static. I found this question from two years ago: https://www.scichart.com/questions/question/using-xyscatterrenderableseries-with-chartseriesviewmodel which had the same problem, but the solution looks kind of complex. Do you know if there is a better way to do it today? Thanks again.
I've got a solution that works for me - I used a FastLineRenderableSeries and three separate XyScatterRenderableSeries (one for each kind of point marker). Using separate XyScatterRenderableSeries means that I can change the shape as well as the colours of the point markers. I haven't implemented tooltips over the scatter points yet, but I guess I can do that with the Hit test API.
This is nearly very useful for us.
What we need is an impulse chart, with different colour and shape per point (as well as the x and y values). So I guess that would require 4 values to be associated with each point, and those four values to all be passed to the GetColor and DrawInternal methods. And it would require the impulse chart type to support the pallette provider api.
Is this functionality that could be added?
Hi Felix, The impulse chart type does support the PaletteProvider API, but only with X,Y values. What you want can be achieved with a CustomRenderableSeries, by copying/modifying the FastImpulseRenderableSeries code. It's not possible out of the box though by changing just properties of the series.
OK, I'll take a look, thanks!

The purposes of partitioning neural network is to distribute the partitions onto
different working units (e.g., threads or nodes, called workers in this article)
and parallelize the processing.
Another reason for partition is to handle large neural network which cannot be
hold in a single node. For instance, to train models against images with high
resolution we need large neural networks (in terms of training parameters).

Since *Layer* is the first class citizen in SIGNA, we do the partition against
layers. Specifically, we support partitions at two levels. First, users can configure
the location (i.e., worker ID) of each layer. In this way, users assign one worker
for each layer. Secondly, for one layer, we can partition its neurons or partition
the instances (e.g, images). They are called layer partition and data partition
respectively. We illustrate the two types of partitions using an simple convolutional neural network.

The above figure shows a convolutional neural network without any partition. It
has 8 layers in total (one rectangular represents one layer). The first layer is
DataLayer (data) which reads data from local disk files/databases (or HDFS). The second layer
is a MnistLayer which parses the records from MNIST data to get the pixels of a batch
of 8 images (each image is of size 28x28). The LabelLayer (label) parses the records to get the label
of each image in the batch. The ConvolutionalLayer (conv1) transforms the input image to the
shape of 8x27x27. The ReLULayer (relu1) conducts elementwise transformations. The PoolingLayer (pool1)
sub-samples the images. The fc1 layer is fully connected with pool1 layer. It
mulitplies each image with a weight matrix to generate a 10 dimension hidden feature which
is then normalized by a SoftmaxLossLayer to get the prediction.

The above figure shows the convolutional neural network after partitioning all layers
except the DataLayer and ParserLayers, into 3 partitions using data partition.
The read layers process 4 images of the batch, the black and blue layers process 2 images
respectively. Some helper layers, i.e., SliceLayer, ConcateLayer, BridgeSrcLayer,
BridgeDstLayer and SplitLayer, are added automatically by our partition algorithm.
Layers of the same color resident in the same worker. There would be data transferring
across different workers at the boundary layers (i.e., BridgeSrcLayer and BridgeDstLayer),
e.g., between s-slice-mnist-conv1 and d-slice-mnist-conv1.

The above figure shows the convolutional neural network after partitioning all layers
except the DataLayer and ParserLayers, into 2 partitions using layer partition. We can
see that each layer processes all 8 images from the batch. But different partitions process
different part of one image. For instance, the layer conv1-00 process only 4 channels. The other
4 channels are processed by conv1-01 which residents in another worker.

Since the partition is done at the layer level, we can apply different partitions for
different layers to get a hybrid partition for the whole neural network. Moreover,
we can also specify the layer locations to locate different layers to different workers.

DUBLIN and NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Sept. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Allergan plc (NYSE: AGN), a leading global pharmaceutical company, today announced it has agreed to acquire Bonti, Inc., a privately held clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of novel, fast-acting neurotoxin programs for aesthetic and therapeutic applications.
Following completion of the acquisition, Allergan will obtain global rights to Bonti's pipeline consisting of two botulinum neurotoxin serotype E (BoNT/E) programs currently in Phase 2 development, EB-001A (aesthetic) and EB-001T (therapeutic). The active ingredient in both programs, EB-001, is a novel botulinum neurotoxin serotype E (BoNT/E) with a unique clinical profile, characterized by a rapid onset of action within 24 hours and a 2 to 4-week duration of effect. Bonti recently announced topline results of the first clinical study of EB-001 in glabellar frown lines. The study confirmed both the safety and efficacy of the differentiated profile.
In the U.S. there are currently approximately 65 million consumers who are considering facial injectable treatments, including some who may be interested in being treated with a faster acting shorter-duration product.
"The acquisition of Bonti is a strategic investment for the future of our Medical Aesthetics business and has the potential to enhance our best-in-class Medical Aesthetics pipeline," said Brent Saunders, Chairman and CEO of Allergan. "With the Medical Aesthetics market vastly expanding, a fast-acting neurotoxin with a 2 to 4-week duration will be an attractive option for consumers, particularly those who are considering a Medical Aesthetics treatment for the first time."
"We're excited about the development and commercial prospects for our novel programs within Allergan's leading Medical Aesthetics portfolio," commented Fauad Hasan, CEO and co-founder at Bonti. "The promise of benefitting more consumers worldwide with our novel neurotoxin programs plus Allergan's stature and resources in this market will help realize our team's and investors' aims. We could not envision a more compelling acquirer or better strategic fit."
Allergan will acquire Bonti for an upfront payment of $195M and additional potential commercial milestone payments, subject to certain adjustments and other customary closing conditions.
Bonti, based in Newport Beach, CA, is an innovative clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of novel, fast-acting neurotoxin products for aesthetic and therapeutic applications. By turning the science of neurotoxins into beneficial patient and healthcare provider solutions, Bonti seeks to improve lives by successfully addressing key unmet needs in markets with significant addressable opportunities.

Are you tired of fighting the oily skin? And did you know that you can cope with this common problem with a homemade activated charcoal soap that you can prepare yourself without someone's help or tips?
There are quite a lot of recipes for such activated charcoal soap, and if you apply them correctly for this or that kind of skin you can achieve amazing results. As for the soap, which includes activated charcoal, it is suitable for any type of skin, so that it can be used by absolutely everyone.
What is so amazing about activated charcoal soap? The main ingredient, of course, is activated charcoal. How well activated charcoal helps the skin cope with the problem is known to everyone without exception, from small to large. But it turns out that the same activated charcoal in tablets is an excellent means for cleansing the pores of the skin, and it is thanks to this property that the mask with charcoal for cleansing the face is so effective.
Wanting to make a soap that had a catchy visual appearance, I had to create a strong contrast.
In my natural soaps I do not use perfumes or dyes, unless I can get them naturally and, so to speak, at Km 0.
Although I have tried several times to create a color that significantly resist the action of soda, I have never succeeded.
Then I thought of the charcoal, which also performs an important purifying action on the skin.
So I decided to "sacrifice" the package I had at home.
Usually we use activated charcoal powder, so I had to pulverize it in a mortar; it was quite simple, because the tablets are very soft. However, I would like to reassure you that on the market it is already ready in specialized cosmetic stores, without going to spend a fortune in pharmacy or herbal medicine.
The recipe is very simple, we proceed as usual for the cold method, taking care to add the charcoal at the time of the tape.
If you want to create a two-tone effect, all you have to do is divide the mixture into two parts and add the charcoal to only one part. In this way you get beautiful visual effects …. and almost artistic.

1 August 2008 Volume 2 Issue 5. Proven Strategies for Addressing Unconscious Bias in the Workplace Sponsored by Testing Your Own Unconscious Bias The most effective tool available for exploring Unconscious Bias testing one's own Unconscious bias is the Implicit Association Test (IAT), created and maintained by Project by Howard Ross, Founder & Chief Learning Officer, Cook Ross, Inc. Implicit, a consortium made up of researchers from Harvard University, the University of Virginia, and the University of Washington. The IAT. was created more than 10 years ago and has now been used by millions of people in over 20 countries.
2 Researchers at these three schools, as well as others, have used the test to study many aspects of organizational and social performance, ranging from healthcare decisions to the operations Consider this: Less than 15% of American men are over six foot tall, yet almost of the criminal justice system. To take 60% of corporate CEOs are over six foot tall. Less than 4% of American men the IAT, without charge, go to https:// are over six foot, two inches tall, yet more than 36% of corporate CEOs are over six foot, two inches Why does this happen? Clearly corporate boards of directors do not, when conducting a CEO search, send out a message to get us a tall guy, and yet the numbers speak for themselves.
3 In fact, when corrected for age and gender, an inch of height is worth approximately $789 per year in salary!2. Similar patterns are true for Generals and Admirals in the Military, and even for Presidents of the United States. The last elected President whose height was below average was William McKinley in 1896, and he was ridiculed in the press as a little boy.' 3. It seems not only unfair, but patently absurd to choose a CEO because of height, just like it is unfair and absurd to give employees lower performance evaluations solely because they are overweight.
4 Or to prescribe medical procedures to people more often because of their race. Or to treat the same people different ways because of their clothing. Or even to call on boys more often than girls when they raise their hands in school. And yet, all of these things continuously happen, and they are but a small sampling of the hundreds of ways we make decisions every day in favor of one group, and to the detriment of others, without even realizing we're doing it. 1 Malcolm Gladwell discusses this phenomenon in his book, Blink, based on research conducted by Timothy Judge and Daniel Cable.
5 2 Judge, Timothy A., and Cable, Daniel M., The Effect of Physical Height on Workplace Success and Income, Journal of Applied Psychology, June 2004, p. 435 3 Judge, Timothy A., and Cable, Daniel M., The Effect of Physical Height on Workplace Success and Income, Journal of Applied Psychology, June 2004, p. 428. 2008 Diversity Best Practices 1. Lately, the concept of Unconscious bias or hidden bias has come into the forefront of our work as diversity advocates because the dynamics of diversity are changing as we enter the 21st Century. Our tradition paradigm has generally assumed that patterns of discriminatory behavior in organizations are conscious; that people who know better do the right thing, and those who don't cause bias.
6 As a result, we have developed a good person/bad person paradigm of diversity: a belief that good people are not biased, but inclusive, and that bad people are the biased ones. One of the core drivers behind the work of diversity and inclusion professionals, almost since the inception of the first corporate diversity efforts, has been to find the bad people and fix them; to eradicate bias. There is good reason for this. If we are going to create a just and equitable society, and if we are going to create organizations in which everybody can have access to their fair measure of success, it clearly is not consistent for some people to be discriminated against based on their identification with a particular group.
7 Also, clear examples of conscious bias and discrimination still exist, whether in broader societal examples like the recent incidents in Jena, Louisiana, or in more specific organizational examples. Driven by this desire to combat inequities, we have worked hard through societal measures, like civil and human rights initiatives, to reduce or eliminate bias. We have put a lot of attention on who gets diversity, without realizing that to a degree our approach has been self-serving and even arrogant. If they were as (wise, noble, righteous, good, etc.) as us, then they would get it' like we do!
8 Usually this is based on the notion that people make choices to discriminate due to underlying negative feelings toward some groups or feelings of superiority about their own. There is no doubt that this is often true. But what if, more times than not, people make choices that discriminate against one group and in favor of another, without even realizing that they are doing it, and, perhaps even more strikingly, against their own conscious belief that they are being unbiased in their decision-making? What if we can make these kinds of Unconscious decisions even about people like ourselves?
9 The problem with the good person/bad person paradigm is two-fold: it virtually assures that both on a collective and individual basis we will never do diversity right because every human being has bias of one kind or another. Secondly, it demonstrates a lack of understanding of a reality: human beings, at some level, need bias to survive. So, are we biased? Of course. Virtually every one of us is biased toward something, somebody, or some group. The concept of the Unconscious was, of course, Freud's primary gift to the science of the mind, and, while it is not the purpose of this paper to delve too deeply into the esoteric, this concept drove the development of modern psychology.
10 Yet, as behavioral psychology moved into the forefront during the 50's, 60's, and 70's, the study of the Unconscious became de-emphasized. Recent research, driven largely by our ability to now manage huge quantities of data, and new exploratory techniques have given us an ability to not only observe the Unconscious , but also to track and quantify its impact. We now have a vast body of research, conducted at some of our finest institutions of learning Harvard, Yale, the University of Washington, the University of Virginia, MIT, Tufts, and the University of Illinois, among others that is showing us the same thing: Unconscious or hidden beliefs attitudes and biases beyond our regular perceptions of ourselves and others underlie a great deal of our patterns of behavior about diversity.

Karen holds an Honorary Senior Research Fellow position at the Royal Brisbane & Women's Hospital and the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work at the University of Queensland, Brisbane Australia. Karen's research focus is maternal and neonatal outcomes including preconception and early pregnancy care. Karen has a keen interest in improving maternal and neonatal outcomes in low resource countries, in particularly those in our pacific region. Karen is a consultant, undertaking systematic, literature and critical reviews for the University of Southern Queensland and the University of the Sunshine Coast; sessional teaching and marking at a number of Universities. Karen is currently advising 4 PhD students (3 national and 1 International) and 1 international MPhil student.
Preconception health and preconception care are preventive health strategies aimed to educate and promote the benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle to women and men in their reproductive years in the lead up to conception. Optimising health prior to pregnancy can reduce the risks of adverse birth outcomes such as neural tube defects (NTDs), premature birth, congenital anomalies and infant mortality. However preconception health is underutilised by the general population of women and men of reproductive age. Preconception health education and services at individual and population levels are required for the future generations of Australians. Currently, healthy pregnancies are promoted in antenatal care, but this is too late for identifying risks and exposures that may impact fetal development. Emerging evidence links poor maternal/paternal health (lifestyle, diet) to fetal programming that predisposes the individual to chronic illness such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Implementing a preconception health may impact the growing issue of non-communicable diseases.
