College principals across the UK have earned a combined total of more than £33 million throughout 2004-2005, writes Vijay Pattni, reporter for FE News.
According to information collected and released by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) and available on their website (to view the LSC's College Accounts document for 2004 / 2005, please click here), a total of £33,962,000 was handed out to Principals across the country.
The spreadsheets give intimate details of college spending and income, and in light of the now postponed lecturer's strike over pay, these figures will no doubt unsettle the bruised hierarchy of the sector. Following Friday's publication of the highest earning Principals, below is the second part of the comprehensive list of the principals" pay in those colleges who responded to the LSC request for data in the country. To interpret the figures, please note that PS is short for Principal's Salary.

Ciara Denies Having Sex With Russell Wilson After $140 Million Contract Video
By Alex Zidel
She won't say what happened before though.
After filming a video in bed telling fans that they would be Seahawks for life after Russell Wilson signed a $140 million contract extension, Ciara and her husband got the whole world talking. Because of the location they decided to shoot the announcement in, many assumed that they had just finished celebrating as a couple before letting the world know. While Ciara chooses not to disclose what happened before they filmed the contract reveal, she maintains the fact that they went to sleep directly after publicizing it on social media.

Russell Wilson told the world about his incredible new contract extension with Seattle, announcing that he would be with the team for the long-run, becoming the highest-paid player in the NFL with his massive $140 million contract. The quarterback and his pop star wife have been in the media spotlight for quite some time and many expected that they had just finished some special activities before filming the announcement clip. During an appearance on Andy Cohen's show, Ciara declined to comment on what happened before the video but she says that directly after they shared it, they went right to bed. She also joked that her first big purchase will be an Hermes bag, which she could definitely have afforded before Russ signed the deal.
Although Future and Ciara haven't been together for years now, people have still been wondering what could be going through Hendrix' mind after this development. Check out the funniest reactions and memes for that here.

Manga Pages: Hakodate Youjin Buraichou Himegami volumes four and five
Tamaki Nozomu's Hakodate Youjin Buraichou Himegami (which I shall henceforth refer to as Himegami) is an impressively illustrated action story that also exceeded my expectations in terms of storytelling. The last two volumes were a thrilling climax and conclusion with a number of great moments that I'll be getting into below.
First, I want to talk about my favorite part, which took place in the early chapters of volume 4. In this part, Hyou-chan gets overwhelmed with power and goes on a killing rampage, during which her personality changes into a far more honest and sadistic counterpart to herself. The whole bit called back to what I discussed in my last post about Hyou-chan's facial expressions by introducing a new set of them that exemplified her change in personality.
At first, her face is hidden – it's clearly different, but unclear how.
Face still hidden, she alludes to the fact that something has changed within her. The blood splattered all over her serves to enhance the drama and feeling of insanity during the coming scene.
Here, it becomes quite clear that she's snapped. If you look back at my post on the first chapter, you'll see that she hardly resembles her former self.
Hyou-chan's always been easily annoyed and talks like a punk, but this face is a step up from "knock it off," saying something more like "you wanna die?!"
More murderous rage. This face is a twist on one that she makes often – Hyou-chan's always gritting her teeth and wrinkling her brow, but her eyes here are wide and wild like a beast.
Here, her emotions go totally out of control. Her rage and her sorrow are mixing together, and a deep honesty is seething through. With these faces, she shows exactly what she's feeling in each fleeting moment. Even her ever-present ass is showing signs of her wavering heart!
These are all sarcastic faces with painfully fake smiles that Hyou-chan would never, ever wear.
Between these two panels, her sarcastic smile actually becomes sincere. She really does want Himegami to see this power, even if her perception of it is misguided.
After a few pages of laying herself bare, Hyou-chan is shown at her most desperate and pathetic, broken-hearted and begging for forgiveness from the only person she still has any faith in.
At this point, she's let everything out, and she's finally at critical mass. Her face's shape disappears from any semblance of humanity.
She finally reaches the crown peak of insanity. I especially love the way her face dissolves into the blood on her scarf in the lower panel.
When Himegami finally appears, her emotions come back and her face becomes more human, though still not Hyou-like. It's basically like that throughout the rest of the scene.
…and then she gets bitchslapped by Himegami lol.
The best part is that Hyou-chan's face doesn't just revert back to normal after all of this is over. She shows a range of emotions in the next few scenes…
…and then she becomes more mature after this point, exhibiting a lot more grown-up, determined, and noble expressions throughout…
…and she becomes more honest with her emotions.
I found the evolution of Hyou's character very interesting, and I don't think just any artist could've used facial expressions to draw that curve so expertly. Himegami has definitely heightened my interest in Tamaki's other works, such as Dance in the Vampire Bund.
Since this'll be my last post on Himegami, I'll take this chance to share some of my favorite moments from the manga~
From volume 5. Even though Himegami features almost constant nudity, moments like this still get me.
From volume 4. Another fanservice pick, this time the only panel wherein Hyou has nipples.
From volume 5. If there's such a thing as professional shit-talking, this is it.
From volume 1. A nightmare Hyou has about the death of her father.
Second-to-last page. Didn't expect such a straightforward confession; love it.
A very spirited and fitting final page for this manga~

Sanders releases campaign finance plan while recuperating
FILE - In this July 17, 2019 file photo, Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., speaks about his "Medicare for All" proposal at George Washington University in Washington. Sanders had a heart attack, his campaign confirmed Friday, Oct. 4, as the Vermont senator was released from a Nevada hospital. Sanders' campaign released a statement from the 78-year-old's Las Vegas doctors that said the senator was stable when he arrived Tuesday at Desert Springs Hospital Medical Center. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)
WASHINGTON (AP) — Bernie Sanders is unveiling a major campaign finance plan, continuing his 2020 presidential bid even as he's from a heart attack.
The Vermont senator said Monday that as president he'd enact mandatory public financing laws for all federal elections and ban corporate donations for inaugural events.
Sanders also would institute a lifetime lobbying prohibition for former members of Congress and senior staffers and ban advertising during presidential debates.
Sanders says if he wins Democrats' presidential nomination he'll ban corporate contributions to the Democratic Party Convention. He notes that in 2016, 17 donors gave three-quarters of funding for the party's convention.
Sanders has promised to return to work after "a short time off." Following through September, his campaign's war chest was worth $33.7 million.

Q: MySQL select, concatenate with separator My data looks like :

id   name   age   gender
1    abc          M

'age' value is null.
I want to concatenate column value with separator '\n' and if one column value is null, then also use '\n' to represent it.
I tried concat_ws, but it only return :

1\nabc\nM

What I want is :
1\nabc\n\nM
That is it should be 2 '\n' after 'abc'.
How can I achieve my requirement?

A: select concat_ws('\n', id, coalesce(name,''), coalesce(age,''), coalesce(gender,''))
from your_table

A: No need to use concat_ws,It will not concat that value if it is null.use concat +ifnull function
select concat('\n', ifnull(id,''),ifnull(name,''),ifnull(age,''),ifnull(gender,''))
from your_table

A: You should probably use ifnull(column_name,'') to replace the null column with empty character and try concat_ws.
select concat_ws('\n',id,name,ifnull(age,''),gender) from table1;

Bernie Sanders vs. Corporate America: The Three-Round Showdown on Financial Responsibility
Posted on June 21, 2016 June 21, 2016 Categories Economics
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee? Not exactly, but Bernie hasn't been shy about mixing it up with various high-profile CEOs. (Image retrieved from twitchy.com/dougp-3137.)
If there's one thing Bernie Sanders has succeeded in doing this election cycle, it's pissing people off. The wealth of amateur economists and financial experts opining in "Comments" section of news websites and on social media who apparently think Sanders is a flaming idiot who hates America, doesn't understand simple math, and wants to tax you to the point you are forced to live in a cardboard box on the street, or at least a more stately cardboard duplex with a communal cardboard pool. The Clinton supporters who think Bernie should have never been in the race, should stop attacking her candidate, and should get off his unicorn and accept the cold, hard realities of pragmatism. Those social critics who would depict Sanders as an enemy of capitalism, coal, innovation, Israel, the media, Newtown, CT, poor white people, Wall Street, women, and somehow, both the world's rich and the world's poor. Indeed, for all the goodwill Bernie Sanders has built up among scores of young voters and those who have sought a non-Clintonian path to the Democratic Party's renaissance, the democratic socialist secular Jew has inspired his fair share of antipathy over the past year and change.
One particular group which has drawn the ire of Bernie and his faithful, and which has responded to his criticisms in kind, is that of corporate executives, particularly those of General Electric Company, Verizon Communications, Inc., and the Walt Disney Company. By now, you understand I am an avid supporter of the senator from Vermont (if you don't fully comprehend this, just take a gander at this other piece I wrote for United States of Joe; please—I could use the views), so I can't really be considered an unbiased judge in the war of words that has manifested between the two opposing sides. I will thus present their arguments to you—the members of the general public—and let you decide their merits. So, without further ado—and not adieu, because that makes no bleeping sense—let us have our debate. Grab your scorecards—this could get moderately interesting.
Round 1: Bernie Sanders vs. Jeffrey R. Immelt, General Electric CEO
In the blue corner, we have the Bruiser from Brooklyn, the Fighting Father of Free Tuition, the Rabble-Rouser of Raging Against the Machine—Bernard "Bernie" Sanders!
Sanders on GE's taxes: "From 2008 to 2013, while GE made over $33.9 billion in United States profits, it received a total tax refund of more than $2.9 billion from the Internal Revenue Service. G.E.'s effective U.S. corporate income tax rate over this six year period was -9 percent. In 2012, GE stashed $108 billion in offshore tax havens to avoid paying income taxes. If this practice were outlawed, GE would have paid $37.8 billion in federal income taxes that year."
Sanders on GE's outsourcing: "GE has been a leader in outsourcing decent paying jobs to China, Mexico and other low-wage countries."
Sanders on Immelt's compensation: "Mr. Immelt has a retirement account at General Electric worth an estimated $59 million and made $19 million in total compensation last year."
And in the red corner, we have the Scrapper from Cincinnati, the Charging Chairman, the Jabbing Jouster of the "House that Jack Built"—Jeffrey Robert "Jeff" Immelt!
Immelt, in response to Sanders: "GE has been in business for 124 years, and we've never been a big hit with socialists. We create wealth and jobs, instead of just calling for them in speeches. We take risks, invest, innovate and produce in ways that today sustain 125,000 U.S. jobs. Our engineers innovate every day to build hardware and software solutions that meet real-world challenges. Our employees are proud of our company. I meet second- and third-generation employees whenever I travel across the country. I am one myself. Our suppliers and partners are proud of our company. Our communities are proud of our company. Our pride, history and hard work are real — the moral fabric of America."
Round 1 Analysis: Ooh—going after the socialism angle—low blow, Jeff! Sanders' charge that GE doesn't pay any taxes has been judged to be somewhat overblown. According to this piece from Megan McArdle in The Atlantic, General Electric does, in fact, pay estimated taxes, though it may be hard to prove based on the wealth of information the company's financial returns entail. Meanwhile, this post from David Cay Johnston of Reuters argues that General Electric has actually been paying higher taxes outside the U.S., and as such, something other than tax policy is driving the company's multinational business strategy, though Johnston does note GE pays an awful lot of people an awful lot of money to lobby Congress with respect to corporate tax law. Then again, this confusing back-and-forth review penned by Henry Blodget for Business Insider, which navigates opposing accounts of the firm's tax bill from New York Times editor Bill Keller and GE's own Public Affairs department, suggests the latter may just be full of spin, to put it mildly.
Hmm, some punches have been thrown, but no knockouts. Let's go to Round 2 and see what the action holds for us.
"Sure, we have no problem following tax laws. That's why we spend tons of money trying to rewrite them!" (Image retrieved from forbes.com.)
Round 2: Bernie Sanders vs. Lowell C. McAdam, Verizon Communications CEO
In the blue corner, once more, we have Bernie "Feel the Bern" Sanders! Folks, how is this septuagenarian doing it? He's got spunk! He's got moxie! He's got—dare I say it—chutzpah! His fury at corporate greed is fueling his desire to fight!
Sanders, on Verizon's taxes: Verizon, "in a given year has not paid a nickel of taxes."
Sanders, on not doing enough for America: Verizon is not investing in American communities, particularly in the "inner cities."
Sanders, on the conditions leading to the strike: According to Sanders, Verizon had been threatening to ship jobs overseas for those workers who did not agree to pay cuts and/or reduced benefits.
And now, in the red corner, at the spritely young age of 62, the Brawler from Buffalo, the Cornell Crusher, he believes that "better matters" and that, if you step to him, you better not miss—Lowell "The 'C' Stands for 'Come at Me, Bro'" McAdam!
McAdam, on Verizon's taxes: "His first accusation – that Verizon doesn't pay its fair share of taxes – is just plain wrong. As our financial statements clearly show, we've paid more than $15.6 billion in taxes over the last two years – that's a 35% tax rate in 2015, for anyone who's counting."
McAdam, on using its profits to benefit America: "In the last two years, Verizon has invested some $35 billion in infrastructure — virtually all of it in the U.S. — and paid out more than $16 billion in dividends to the millions of average Americans who invest in our stock."
McAdam, on jobs at Verizon: "Sen. Sanders speaks of a 'moral economy' for America – one that respects and maintains the dignity inherent in good, middle-class jobs. He seems to think that can only happen by ignoring the transformational forces reshaping the communications industry. But nostalgia for the rotary phone era won't save American jobs, any more than ignoring the global forces reshaping the auto industry saved the Detroit auto makers."
Round 2 Analysis: Lowell McAdam takes Bernie Sanders' criticisms very seriously, suggesting the Vermont senator and his rhetoric were "disconnected from reality." Ouch. That's a body blow, and one not unlike others leveled at him and his campaign. Once more, the judges have found that Sanders swings and misses when it comes to the claim that his target does not pay its taxes. This side-by-side analysis by David Goldman of CNN—which certainly hasn't been biased against Sanders or anything like that this election cycle—claims that Bernie's contention may be based on one year in particular in which Verizon paid a negative effective rate, but that this much is unclear, if not outmoded thinking. On the count of investment in America, Goldman sees Sanders' argument as more credible; McAdam's pointing out that Verizon has invested millions in infrastructure implies some sort of altruistic reason for this behavior, but this is the cost of doing business for them, and moreover, the telecommunications company has been criticized by people not named Bernie Sanders for being slow to expand its high-speed Internet outside of more affluent neighborhoods.
As for the whole labor dispute thing, Goldman doesn't really take sides, but does note how Verizon has outsourced some 5,000 jobs to countries like the Dominican Republic, Mexico and the Philippines. Also, um, workers generally don't strike without reason. For all his boasts about the company he heads, McAdam seems particularly tone-deaf on this issue, a notion supported by his annual salary which netted him about $18 million in 2015. The strike, of course, has since been ended by an agreement between the two parties, and while some provisions of the accord favor the corporation, particularly in the area of offering buyouts to employees, by and large, Verizon was deemed to be conceding on a number of key points, including job creation, pay raises, and pension cuts. In the end, disaster was avoided, but this battle presages other labor disputes which stand to erupt over bargaining power struggles between labor unions and top management. We're going to need to go to a decisive third round.
"Verizon employees should stop complaining about their pay and benefits. I mean, I only got $18 million in compensation last year, for Christ's sake!" (Image Source: Verizon)
Round 3: Bernie Sanders vs. Robert Alan "Bob" Iger, Walt Disney Company CEO
In the blue corner, battered and bruised but not broken, fighting establishment politics at every turn and still standing, he could really use some of that single-payer healthcare right about now but he's not throwing in the towel—yes, it's Bernie Sanders!
Sanders, on Disney's pay for its workers: "Anybody make a living wage working for Disney? It's an example of what we're talking about when we talk about a rigged economy. Disney pays its workers wages that are so low that many of them are forced to live in motels because they cannot afford a decent place to live."
Sanders, on Disney's overseas jobs and production: "It would be very nice of the Disney corporation to start building factories in the United States."
And now in the red corner, rounding out our CEO trio, the Nasty New Yorker, the Mickey Mouse Marauder, the Jew with the Ol' One-Two—Bob Iger!
Iger, on, well, Sanders himself: "To Bernie Sanders: We created 11,000 new jobs at Disneyland in the past decade, and our company has created 18,000 in the U.S. in the last five years. How many jobs have you created? What have you contributed to the U.S. economy?"
Round 3 Analysis: Wow—look at the Disney CEO going for Sen. Sanders with the haymaker! Unfortunately, it doesn't really connect on Bernie's big issue—that the Walt Disney Company doesn't pay its employees enough. As with McAdam before him, if Iger's compensation is any indication (upwards of $45 million), his company has the means to pony up for those who receive a Disney paycheck. Either way, it's not really Bernie's job to create jobs, so Bob Iger's criticism comes off as a hollow defense of Disney's wages. Or as Dan Van Winkle of The Mary Sue put it in the headline of a report on the Sanders/Iger war of words, "Disney CEO Bob Iger Responds to Bernie Sanders' Criticism Like a Petulant Child."
"You've got organized labor in your corner, Bernie? Well, I've got Mickey f**king Mouse in mine! So suck on that, asshole!" (Photo Source: Gene Duncan/AP Photo/Disney)
Hmm, Bernie has seemingly held his own against three separate bigwig CEOs. Might this fight's judges actually rule in his favor? With no TKO in this bout, we'll have to sweat out the results and let them decide. OK, the final tallies are in. In a unanimous decision, the winner and still Heavyweight Champion—soulless corporations! And the crowd goes wild! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
But why did they win? Because they always f**king do, that's why. In fact, I think we're so used to corporate America winning we've become inured to it, or we like their products so much we rationalize that they can't be that bad. General Electric makes those stainless steel kitchen appliances you like so much. Verizon gives you cable, Internet and phone service—not to mention disingenuous commercials with brightly-colored balls in them. And the Walt Disney Company lets you wish upon a star—as long as you don't infringe on their intellectual property.
It's OK that you like these things. You're supposed to. As innovators, these companies do great work. But just because they make Pixar movies or smartphones or windmills doesn't mean they're above reproach. Bernie Sanders doesn't always include the kind of specifics you'd like in his arguments against corporate greed, so his confrontational attitude toward highly-paid executives gets qualified as the ranting and raving of a bitter old man. I firmly believe, though, that GE wouldn't hire an army of tax lawyers and specialists if they weren't determined to pay less here in the United States, that Verizon employees wouldn't just go on strike for shits and giggles, and that Disney has more than enough in its coffers to bump up wages and salaries just a little. For a form of organization in the corporation of which a major purpose is to limit personal liability, we should be more than just a little cautious of these businesses who exert so much influence in the financial and political worlds.
Bernie, you may not have won this contest, but the struggle continues for you and your supporters going forward. In a country in which moneyed interests have the upper hand, we, the people, may just have the last laugh.

Friends for Life (FFL) is a progressive, fast-growing no kill animal rescue and adoption agency. We are a non profit founded in 2002 and have rescued or placed thousands of animals into adoptive homes in that time.
We save animals' lives. We find creative ways to do it and are passionate about success at it. Animals are our primary clients and everything we do is based on what is in their best interest individually or as a group.
We envision a community in which no animal will be killed for want of a loving home. Shelters accept their rightful responsibility as guardians and protectors of animals and we, as a society, accept no less from them. Shelters will lead by example to promote a larger and more compassionate vision of the way companion animals are valued beginning with refusing to kill them. Citizens and shelters will partner in saving animal lives and work together to ever-expand the network of rescues, fosters, volunteers and donors making life an option for animals. Shelters will make humane education and seeking homes for animals a priority. It is time to move past the format of simply managing animal populations by killing. From board room to kennel, shelters will live up to their duty to be transformative beacons illuminating a future of kinship with all life.


Fertility doctors in the U.K. are reportedly working on womb transplant procedures that would allow transgender people born as males, and also other men, to have babies.
Moreover, National Health Service doctors told The Mail on Sunday that taxpayers should fund such transplants, citing "equality enshrined in law."
Dr. Amel Alghrani of Liverpool University said that such a transplant procedure is a real possibility, and explained that it could help not only transgender women have children, but also gay and straight men who "wanted to experience the joys of carrying a child."
Alghrani further suggested that such a move would "revolutionize reproduction."
For straight men who opt to have such a transplant, it would allow "for couples to jointly share the reproductive burdens and joys of pregnancy," she said.
"Homosexual couples may also wish to procreate in this fashion, while single men may opt for it to avoid surrogacy."
"Most taxpayers will not think this is a good use of resources. It raises profound ethical and moral issues that will have an impact on women's rights. It will impinge on the meaning of motherhood and womanhood."
Gynaecologists have claimed that such a transplant is possible, pointing to the recent success of "uterine transplantation" in women.
The article noted that at least five babies have been born to womb-less women after receiving donor wombs at Gothenburg University in Sweden, which is considered one of the first steps in the controversial procedure.
Consultant gynaecologist Dr. Arianna D'Angelo of the NHS' Wales Fertility Institute argued that are no ethical issues with womb transplants.
"We already have fertility preservation for transgender people, to give them the possibility to have their own genetic child," D'Angelo said.

Just update the calendar module to latest version, it will fix the issue.
If you don't get a solution via the module you can try the CiviCRM Entities module (2.x version) and the Calendar module then in Views you should find that you can use "Add from template" and there is a template for Civi Event.

Grow Vegetables
What Part of the Plant Is the Potato?
Potatoes are specialized roots called tubers.

2 What Are Certain Plants & Vegetables Called Nightshade?
3 Identification of a Flowering Bulb Kind of Like a Gladiolus
4 Plant Sunchokes
Potatoes are some of the world's most important food crops. Two major classes of these are familiar to most Americans, Irish (Solanum tuberosum) and sweet (Ipomoea batatas). Irish potatoes take their name from the famous potato famine that occurred in 19th century Ireland. The edible parts of these plants are specialized roots called tubers, that grow underground. Potatoes and other plants use these tubers to store sugars, called carbohydrates, as energy and nutrition sources they need to reproduce. These carbohydrates and nutrients are beneficial to the human diet as well.
Potato Plants
Irish potatoes are cool season crops, usually grown in early spring. Sweet potatoes prefer warm, summer temperatures. Each type develops green, leafy foliage that grows above ground and may be vine-like in appearance. Simultaneously, they grow or "set" their tubers underground. Irish potatoes may develop flowers when they mature, indicating that they a ready for harvest. Sweet potatoes are harvested when their mature foliage begins to turn slightly yellow.
Garden Vegetable Types
Common vegetables you might grow in a home garden include several classes of edible plants, according to which part of the plant is usually eaten. Foliage is the food source of leafy greens like spinach and kale and "head" crops like lettuce and cabbage. We usually eat the fruits of blooming garden vegetables like tomatoes and squash or the seed pods of vegetables like beans. Broccoli and cauliflower are specialized, edible flowers. These types grow above ground. Lastly, we eat the roots and tubers of vegetables like radishes, turnips and potatoes. These usually grow below the soil.
Irish Potatoes
Irish potatoes, also called white potatoes, prefer growing in moderately acidic, fertile soil that drains well. Dry, sandy soil or heavy clay can impede tuber development. Considered cool weather crops, they prefer the milder temperatures of early spring to produce the best crop of tubers. They are prone to disease and will fail to set tubers if grown during hot summers or tropical climates. In Mediterranean climates, Irish potatoes can also be grown in the cool weather of fall and early winter. They need 90 to 110 days to produce a full crop of tubers.
Sweet potatoes are native to Central and South America. Thus, they prefer growing in warmer climate conditions and are a bit more tolerant of different types of soil, preferring sandy loam or silt loam. Although they may be called yams, they are actually a distinctly different species from true, tropical yams. They also require about 100 days to produce tubers before harvest.

If hair is to be weaved or braided it is really important that it is not done too tightly or that the weave/braids are kept in over a long period of time.
Tension on the roots can cause thinning of the hair (Traction Alopecia). This is common in delicate areas around the temples but can occur anywhere on the head.
Either the hair is physically pulled from the roots by the strain of the braiding or the stress causes the hair to shorten its life-cycle and fall out earlier than normal.
In early stages Traction Alopecia is reversible by avoiding styles like braids and weaves which put strain on the hair.
In more advanced stages where the hair has been worn in the same style over a length of time the hair loss can become permanent.
If not used in a professional manner relaxers and colours can damage the hair.
In almost all cases we see it's a question of the wrong products in the wrong hands.
With relaxers the biggest culprits are home relaxer kits (no-lye relaxers) which dry the hair out, making it brittle and prone to breakage. These kits also lull the user into a false sense of security because you don't feel the damage being done.
Take a look at our relaxer page for more info on this.
Colours can also cause damage if not used correctly, which is why we insist on a thorough consultation beforehand.
In all cases, if you want to have a chemical service then please use a professional salon with properly trained and qualified staff.
Heat can be an unsuspected source of damage to the hair, especially if you are using the GHD's to straighten your hair every day.
Temporary straightening treatments (Keratin Treatments, Texture Release etc.) all require heat activation at extremely high temperatures and as many as 10 passes of the straightening irons over each section of hair. These should be avoided.
When straightening your hair at home try to avoid too many passes over the same section of hair and always use a heat protection spray.
While the spray will help to protect against heat damage you still need to use caution.
Use straightening irons where the temperature can be controlled and try to use the lowest you can.
During pregnancy hormone changes cause hair which would normally be coming to the end of its life-cycle to continue growing. As a result of the lack of regular daily shedding, your head of hair becomes thicker. This seems like a great side-effect to pregnancy, voluminous, plentiful hair. Enjoy it while it lasts, because unfortunately it's only temporary. Payback time comes after the birth, when hormone levels return to normal and all the hair which would normally have been shed steadily over the last 9 months sheds within a short period.
It's not just an old wives' tale, stress really can cause hair loss in some people. Usually it happens about 3 months after the stress period has occurred. It then takes around another 3 months for the hair to resume growth. Although this can be worrying (Oh no! More stress) in most cases it is only a temporary hair loss.
So long as you are not pre-disposed to genetic or androgenic alopecia which can be triggered by stress then it is not a cause of long-term concern.
When you look at some of the rock stars from the past, faces etched with every line of cocaine they've ever taken and voices cracked from whisky, but still wearing hair worthy of a rock star you might not believe this is a problem. However, drug and alcohol abuse over time can cause premature hair loss as the body's organs struggle to cope and function erratically.
If you haven't got a rock star bank balance for a transplant, best avoid.
Pulling and twisting the hair with your fingers isn't just a bad habit, which irritates your family and friends, but can also result in hair loss through the tension put on the follicles in much the same way that braiding/weaving does.
There are many medications which can cause hair loss. If you think this may be the case then please contact your GP.
This fungal infection (no worms involved) begins with small patches of scaling that can spread and result in broken hair, redness, swelling and even oozing. It is a contagious disease that is most common in children. If you suspect you may be suffering from ringworm please go straight to your GP. We are unable to deal with clients suffering from this infection because it is contagious.
Anyone who has a major operation will know what a tremendous shock it is to the system. You may notice increased hair shedding within one to three months afterwards. In most cases the condition reverses itself within one to three months, although people with continuing illnesses may shed hair indefinitely. A curious fact is that hair transplantation surgery can cause additional hair loss or "shock fallout". Hair lost in this way don't usually regrow.
This type of hair loss is believed to be caused by the immune system reacting to hair follicles as if they were antibodies and shutting them down. The hair loss is usually limited to a coin sized area and all the hair in that area is lost leaving a smooth round patch. In the more severe (and rarer) condition, Alopecia Totalis, all hair on the entire body is lost including the eyelashes. Treatments include topical medications, light treatment and sometimes drugs.


A sophisticated analytics system can help healthcare organizations predict and manage costs as well as clinical outcomes but implementation can be challenging.

The Ready Surgery AI-Enhanced Risk Intelligence Platform was created by a digital health entrepreneur after her aunt's unexpected death from a surgical procedure.
Cloud storage can be a valuable asset to medical organizations but substantial due diligence must be performed before storing HiPAA-protected records with a vendor.
Is the Future of American Healthcare Digital?
The transformation of U.S. healthcare revolves around that marvelous little computer in our pockets: the smartphone. Add in sensors, analytics, AI, the IoT, & telemedicine & you can see how we can create a healthcare system that is at once more personalized, people-centric, & efficient than our current model of care.
Interview with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Nicholas Frisch: In the past, people did little to prepare for joint replacement surgery other than having an appointment with their surgeon.

What Will Radiology Look Like in the Age of AI?
Instead of competing with AI, many health professionals predict that they will work with it, similar to how the autopilot feature is used in aviation — it did not replace the job of pilots but enhanced it.

Finishing up the Chicago area colleges on Jack's initial list, Sharon and Jack spent the morning at Loyola University Chicago. After sitting through an hour presentation, they took a tour. Sharon noted that this was the least polished of the four presentations of the last couple of days. Loyola is much easier to get into than most of the colleges on Jack's list. It represents one of a number of possible safety schools that we will be touring over the next few months. Like Northwestern, the campus is right on the lake.
They spend the afternoon wandering the Art Institute of Chicago and having a light lunch at the museum. Jack sought out a number of pieces that he has studied in his art appreciation classes.
They returned the rental car back at the airport about 5 pm. After eating dinner, they caught a 7:10 pm United flight to Sacramento. They were on the ground in Sacramento a little ahead of schedule at 9:45 pm. Waiting in the cell phone lot, I picked them up at the curb after they collected their luggage.
All in all, it was a very successful trip. We will be doing a longer college tour on the east c0ast in early August after Jack finishes up at the Wharton Sport Business Academy.


We purchased this property as a weekend escape! Our kids loved coming to the ranch on the weekends to camp, fish, roast marshmallows and ride horses.

It has been determined 12,688 fish died recently in Turtle Creek near Hardin due to some unknown pollution, said Brian Landrum, wildlife investigator for the Ohio Division of Wildlife. "We lost more than 21,000 fish in one day", Landrum added. On June 18, dead fish were reported both in Turtle Creek near Hardin and the Auglaize river in Wapakoneta. Seven wildlife officers from five counties spent Father's Day counting dead fish at the two waterways, Landrum said. While several thousand of the fish were minnows, there were also rock bass, smallmouth bass, blue gills and channel catfish. "It might not necessarily be someone dumping in the creek", Landrum said. "It might be something washed in I'm looking at that possibility".

Planning for Continuity in Family Business: Where, Oh Where, to Begin?
By Amy Schuman
"We have wills and trusts in place, thanks to our attorney and accountant. But, it's been quite a while since we signed those papers. I know we need to do more to get ready for the future, but I'm not sure what to do or where to start. Can you help us plan a path forward?"
Experienced CEOs are skilled in making investment decisions and building leadership teams, but they often find family ownership-related questions daunting. For example: How - and when - do we begin educating the next generation of owners? What's the best way to build stronger family relationships and clearer communications? Should we involve spouses? How do we create "rules of the road" for family employment and set realistic financial expectations for future owners? What's the best way to ensure that merit and qualifications guide business decisions? What should be the role of our parents in planning for the future that will not include them?
It is our job as family business consultants to help families identify their tough questions and then help them formulate answers that support their continued success. Although every family business is unique, proven governance practices exist for the family, the owners and the business that have tremendous value in helping them prosper across the generations.
For example, a family council is often the ideal way to provide education and participation for the wider family. A family constitution, with participation policies, can be the best way to clarify rules of the road for next generation employment. A board of directors with independent members is the optimal vehicle for creating objective, expert accountability for operations. Although these governance practices can make the difference between success and failure, they are often frightening and foreign for family members.
The Pyramid of Continuity
To help families feel more confident and safe as they implement these approaches, I've refined a very simple approach: The Pyramid of Family Ownership Success (see diagram below). This pyramid draws from my work with successful family firms as well as family business research and collaboration with clients and colleagues.
The idea behind the Pyramid is that successful governance must be built upon a strong foundation. The base of the foundation is ownership clarity regarding Purpose/Values/Vision of both the enterprise and the family. The middle of the Pyramid is a healthy family and business culture. Governance practices finally rest at the top of the Pyramid. A strong foundation provides assurance that the governance practices are meaningful and will be successful. A weak foundation will provoke predictable problems when implementing boards, family councils or other mechanisms for decision-making and accountability.
A Firm Foundation Fosters Success
Peabody's Petcare Products (an actual, but disguised, case) knew it needed more formal governance practices in the transition from the second to third generation of family ownership. However, they were hesitant. The hand-off from founders to siblings went smoothly without any formal policies or meetings. The business grew nicely under sibling leadership, providing generous financial benefits for the wider family. The Peabodys knew they had to do things differently to manage the increased size and complexity of the ownership group in the cousin stage. For example, they knew they needed written guidelines about family employment. They knew that a board with greater experience would be needed to keep up with the competition. They suspected there were other practices and approaches that would be required, but had no idea how to get started. The family also worried that discussing these subjects would raise disagreements and conflicts. Although it seemed daunting and even dangerous to take a different approach, they knew something different was required.
When I met with the Peabody family leadership, I advised them not to start right away with implementing governance structures. Instead, I recommended beginning at the base of the Pyramid with Values and Vision:
What is their purpose for continued family ownership?
What did they want to create, together?
What guiding values did they turn to when making difficult decisions?
What was their shared vision for the future of their enterprise?
Although initially hesitant about engaging in such a "touchy feely" process, they soon saw the benefits and actually enjoyed exploring this together. Once the siblings had agreed upon their Purpose/Values/Vision, they held their first-ever all-family meeting to share and discuss with the entire family.
A quick review of some of the most admired family firms in the world shows that they credit their values and vision as key to their enduring success. The Vermeer family, when speaking about their continuity over three generations, point to the "Four P's" (principles, people, products and profit) as a key source of their success. (See www.vermeer.org, for more about the Values and Vision that support their multi-generational success.) Other model family firms - including Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Wegman's, SC Johnson and more - place their guiding Values and Vision in the center of their success.
Building a Strong Core of Family and Business Culture
Culture is often defined as: "How we do things around here." Family business culture is a key part of family business superior performance ("The Competitive Advantage of Culture in a Family Business", LeCouvie and Rhodes). In 2014, private companies were among 13 of the "Top 20 Best Places to Work in America" (Fortune).
Rather than speaking abstractly about culture, it's best to work on relationships, communication and decision-making while working on real tasks and solving concrete problems. For example, deciding on a Purpose/Values/Vision statement provides a great opportunity to experience the family culture of communication and relationships.
Also, there are specific questions that can be explored to better understand your current - and desired - culture. For example:
To what extent are relationships supportive, open, trusting?
How are decisions made?
Does the family base business decisions on merit rather than emotion and family status?
How is conflict resolved?
How does the family and business approach change and innovation?
Is there calm and flexibility in the family as it goes about its business?
Is time taken for joy, celebration, generosity and sharing?
Good Governance at the Peak
The Peabody family found this to be true. As they discussed and debated their Purpose/Values/Vision statement, they realized that they tended to hurry through conversations in a way that shut down and excluded some of the quieter family members. They also had a habit of interrupting each other and speaking over each other when disagreements surfaced. This resulted in decisions that were not fully supported by the whole family, leading to problems later on.
As facilitator, I was able to slow down the process and allow everyone to participate. Upon reflection, the family liked this approach. They liked hearing from everyone. They implemented several approaches to make it easier for the entire group to participate in discussions - such as deliberately going around and hearing from everyone more formally.
It can take a full year to build the Pyramid's base. In the process, the middle is strengthened. Spending time together, in a relaxed, facilitated environment, allows families to build stronger relationships and more effective communications. Then, the family can proceed to implementation of governance structures with confidence.
The Peabody family took the following period to create a family council and the council facilitated the process of creating a family constitution. The constitution laid out policies and guidelines for family employment, joint investing and managing conflicts of interest.
Also during this time, the Peabodys made a gradual transition from an informal, family-dominated board of directors to an advisory board with several outside directors. The planning process had demonstrated to everyone the importance of making business-related decisions from a place of financial understanding and professional competence. Eventually, they evolved to a fiduciary board with three non-family directors. There were bumps in the road regarding director selection, and there were some significant tensions in the evolving board/management relationship. However, when faced with difficulties or tough decisions, the family consulted their underlying Purpose/Values/Vision statement, and each time they were able to find a path forward that all could support. If they had not invested in the base of their Pyramid, it is unlikely that the disagreements would have been resolved as effectively.
Continuity Planning Begins and Ends Here
Looking back at several years of meeting, planning and implementation, the Peabodys realized that their measured, careful approach to implementing governance structures had paid off handsomely.
If you've been meaning to implement formal succession planning and governance, but haven't yet gotten around to it, you are not alone. A recent study of Western Michigan family firms paints a surprising picture. Although 80 percent of respondents intend to hand the business down within the family, less than 20 percent have a formal, written succession plan. (Study conducted by Grand Valley State University and Western Michigan University.)
I believe that many family businesses hesitate to implement these practices because they worry about creating more problems than solutions. They rightfully recognize that they lack the foundation for success with these practices. Whether you are just starting formal continuity planning, or have been planning and meeting for a period of time already, The Pyramid of Family Ownership Success can offer reassurance and guidance to your efforts. Consult the Pyramid and determine which part of the continuity planning process needs attention. By starting with a strong base, you will be able to enjoy and appreciate the benefits of governance policies and practices with minimal disruption.

The Dietrich-Richard McMillian and Anne Louise Bannon Endowed Scholarship Fund continues Rick's legacy and dedication to excellence as the Department of Theatre Arts teaches the next generation of theatre artists.
For close to twenty years, the University of Pittsburgh Department of Theatre Arts has been a part of Pittsburgh's wonderfully diverse arts community. Please consider donating; with your help, we are able to showcase our students and faculty as well as bring the world of theatre to young people throughout the region.
Your generous support will fund programs like University of Pittsburgh Stages, the production branch of the department. Proceeds also benefit outreach programs, teaching artist residencies, guest artist residencies and workshops, and other theater education events.
With your help, these programs will continue to enrich our cultural community.

Q: Is the zero locus of a global section flat? Let $f:X \to Y$ be a surjective, smooth projective morphism of noetherian schemes. Let $\mathcal{L}$ be an inverible sheaf on $X$ satisfying $f_*\mathcal{L}$ is locally free and $s \in H^0(\mathcal{L})$ be a global section of $\mathcal{L}$. Is the zero locus of $s$ (in $X$), flat over $Y$?
N.B. If necessary, one can assume the fibers of $f$ are irreducible and $Y$ is affine. Also can assume $\pi_*\mathcal{L}$ is free.

A: No. Take $X=\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1$, $Y=\mathbb{P}^1$, $f$ the first projection, $\mathcal{L}=\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1}(1)\boxtimes \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1}(1)$, $s=X\otimes X'$, where $(X,Y)$ are the coordinates of the first factor $\mathbb{P}^1$ and $(X',Y')$ the coordinates of the second factor. The zero locus of $s$ is $\mathbb{P}^1\times \{0\}\cup \{0\}\times \mathbb{P}^1  $, obviously not $f$-flat.

A: You already have trivial counterexamples for your statement, but perhaps you were thinking of a section whose zero locus is irreducible and dominates $Y$. It is false even with that additional assumption:
Let $Y$ be an arbitrary non-singular surface and $Z$ the blow-up up of a (closed) point on $Y$. Then by construction/definition $Z\subseteq X=Y\times \mathbb P^1$. Since $X$ is non-singular, $Z$ is a Cartier divisor and hence there is a line bundle $\mathscr L$ on $X$ such that $Z$ is the zero locus of a global section of $\mathscr L$. Clearly the projection $f:X\to Y$ is flat, so this is a counterexample with the additional property that the zero locus of the section is irreducible and  surjects onto $Y$.
EDIT: Oops, I've just realized that there is one more assumption to check, namely that $f_*\mathscr L$ is locally free, but it is easy to check that that also holds.


The intense work meetings resulted in the drafting of the by-lays, the design of the operational structure and the signing of a declaration of intent, to officially create the EPA. Further information will be released soon.
With the creation of the EPA, and North and South America's Associations, padel will fulfill the aforementioned requirements soon. In the future, other continental associations may be created and join.
Due to the IPF's great efforts, the organization has recently been granted GAISF (Global Association of International Sports Federations) Observer Status. As stated in a recent declaration, EPA's members cooperate under a united vision for the development of padel as an independent racket sport, with its own unique identity, rules and institutions.
Understanding that official competitions are a keystone for the development of padel, the agenda included discussions on the creation of a bi-annual intercontinental championship. A European Team, comprising players from several countries shall face an equal opponent from the Americas in a location to be designated. Connection The EPA's member representatives confirmed their belief in developing padel for their members and their sport: padel. They recognized that passion for padel is a driving force and a strong asset that connects all stakeholders in the universe of padel.
