Be careful out there, social media armies are ready to attack YOU if you dare to challenge their point of view. No, I'm not talking about the presidential or midterm elections. I'm talking about pop culture fans, known on the internet as 'Stans', who are informed and committed to their star of choice but also could be described as obsessives, who, as said in Wired Magazine, "comb over every interview and shred of non-news for information about the object of their adoration." Adoration like this is directed at artists—think Lady Gaga (Little Monsters), Beyoncé (Beyhive), Nicki Minaj (Barbz), One Direction (Directioners), Justin Beiber (Beliebers) and Taylor Swift (Swifties), movies—think Star Wars, Marvel, DC, and TV shows—think The Walking Dead, Once Upon a Time, among other cultural phenom.
When a Nicki Minaj fan commented critically about a new album, the Stans came for her via social media, email, text—even driving by her home, and ultimately causing her to lose her job in the music industry.
When Kelly Marie Tran played a role in a Star Wars film, Stans relentlessly attacked her for diverting from their interpretation of the character—because of the color of her skin, causing her to quit social media.
When a Ghostbusters remake featured women as the lead characters, the Stans created uproar—aimed most specifically at Leslie Jones, who for a time quit social media—because of the actor's genders.
When Taylor Swift vocalized her political thoughts online, including where her vote would be directed and why, her legions of fans deployed negativity on every social media channel of the opposing political opponent—when Swift's message was to get informed and vote, not attack dissenting opponents!
Simply put, the Stan Armies are easily out of control. Sometimes this is because the celebrity has asked his or her army to deploy their ire, but more frequently, the Stans take a stand where they have not been asked and do so with an intense fervor that is somewhere between unsettling to terrifying for the object of their hate.
Does your child have a favorite musician? Does he or she consider themselves a Stan? That's fine if they are—it can be great fun to be an over-the-top fan with others. But, do the rules of engagement as to how your child behaves online change when he or she is part of a fan army? There is something about being a member within a large group that feels anonymous and somehow encourages people to behave differently than they would in a face-to-face interaction, usually for the worse! As a Digital Parent, you need to remind your child that how we treat each other online has a lasting impact as to how we view and treat each other in real life. After all, teaching respect and empathy are key components of raising Savvy Cyber Kids. If your child is part of an online fandom, he or she needs to understand that they must treat friends AND strangers without vitriol—no matter about uninformed opinions that makes your child's blood boil and or if others are already doing it.
Why express yourself in this way when you can you can choose to voice yourself without the negativity?
What does it mean to be a fan—and how do Stans take it to another level?
Discuss missteps made by celebrities when they rile up fans.
Discuss how celebrities handle negativity on social media directed at them and what lessons your child can apply to their own lives.
To treat everyone they interact with respect.
The reality is that online fandoms can only be reformed from within. So teaching your child to be a Stan who respects and stands up for others can be the first step to reigning in the negative aspects of Stan Armies.
Talking about Stans is a GREAT opportunity to continue to have 'The Tech Talk' with your child. They care about pop culture and can better understand the context of cyber ethics and social media empathy when its applied to something they are already passionate about.

Every so often a football ground can make the hair on the back of your neck stand up, be it because of immense scale, architectural audaciousness or its patina of old age, the thrill of discovery is probably the reason that we all take photographs of the grounds we visit. One such stadium that falls into the "patina of old age" category is the home of Sweden's IFK Nyköping. The Folkungavallen, which literally translates as "young peoples ground", was the choice of name selected by the townsfolk in 1925 when the local paper, the Södermanland News, held a vote. It is a stadium of immense beauty, still radiant and effortlessly beguiling despite the onslaught of time. The venue was established in 1914 for the Nyköping Agricultural Fair, it wasn't used as a sports field until five years later. The gatehouse is engaging enough as it is, proud and grandiose, but when the vast gates creak open the piece-de-résistance is revealed in the form of the visually stunning 1926 wooden grandstand an inordinately attractive replacement for the earlier stand at the ground. The intricate side panels, the terracotta tiled roof, its flag poles, the skill of the carpenters for the internal skeleton of the roof, it's a really stunning piece of architecture. Its proximity to Skavsta airport makes it a relatively easy ground to visit and one that cannot be recommended highly enough.
Below is a list of Southend United home and away programmes since 1946 where the standard format has not been followed. These include postponed issues, emergency issues and variant issues.

Cedar Falls, Iowa – The Minnesota State University Moorhead Dragons wrestling team finished their third dual on Saturday and the team's third against a top-15 ranked opponent when they faced No. 13 University of North Carolina at Pembroke Braves. The Dragons mounted a comeback but were turned away in the end, falling by a final of 14-20.
The Dragons' 141-pounder Redshirt Senior Brady Schneeberger won his second match on the day when he took care of the Braves' Tyquan Easton by a major decision. Schneeberger jumped out early with a takedown and a two-point nearfall in the opening period along with a penalty to take a 5-0 lead into the second period.
After exchanging reversals in the second, Schneeberger put Easton away with a pair of takedowns along with a two-point and three-point nearfall to secure a 17-6 win. Redshirt senior Tallen Wald got his second shutout of the day, defeating Patrick Foxworth by a final of 11-0.
Wald jumped out early, taking down Foxworth and earning a three-point nearfall to take a 5-0 lead after the first period. Wald repeated his opening performance in the second, this time earning a three-point nearfall. An escape in the third period would seal the win for Wald.
In the 174-pound contest Trent Sovde would defeat Dennis Fix in thrilling fashion. After both wrestlers earned escapes the match went into sudden victory overtime. There, Sovde gained a takedown to capture the 3-1 win. True freshman Kody Kalkbrenner followed up with an overtime thriller of his own, defeating Shiheem Bryant 7-5 in the second round of overtime.
Kalkbrenner took a 1-0 lead into the third period. In the third, Kalkbrenner's two-point reversal and escape was enough to hold off Bryant's comeback and send the match into overtime. After both wrestlers escaped in the second overtime period, the match moved into its second sudden victory overtime. Kalkbrenner would not let the win slip away and gained a takedown to secure the win.
The Dragons were with in three points of the Braves but James De La Riva defeated Jon Swart in a second sudden victory overtime period, and the Braves escaped the grasp of the Dragons and held on to a 20-14 win.
The Dragons will now move on to their Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference schedule with a dual against No. 3 Augustana (S.D.) in Sioux Falls, S.D. on Jan. 15 at 7 p.m.
Cedar Falls, Iowa – The Minnesota State University Moorhead Dragons wrestling team went right back to work after falling to No. 1 Nebraska-Omaha against No. 10 Grand Canyon (Ariz.), their fourth ranked opponent in a row. The Dragons' lower weights won four of their first five matches to propel the Dragons to an 18-16 upset.
The Dragons got another solid performance from 125-pounder Corey Ulmer as he defeated Grand Canyon's Madison Gambrell 12-7. Ulmer had two reversals in his opening period and finished off Gambrell with a two-point and three-point nearfall in the third.
Redshirt senior Jon Swart also gained his second win on the day, edging out Peter Anguiano by a final of 4-3. Swart used a takedown to keep pace with Anguiano 2-2 after the second period. In the third Swart's escape gave him the edge with riding time to secure the win.
Fellow senior Brady Schneeberger wasted little time in bouncing back, pinning Kyle Wilson just 2:10 into the opening frame to start a run by the Dragons. Tyler Steinwand, the Dragons' 149-pounder, also bounced back with a big win over Austen Morre. Steinwand's three takedowns and reversal were too much for Moore to overcome as Steinwand took the match by a final of 9-2.
Senior Tallen Wald shutout Grand Canyon's Teddy Bristol 6-0 in the 157-pound matchup. Wald jumped out to a 2-0 lead after gaining a takedown of Bristol. After a scoreless second period, Wald gained a reversal and capped it off with a point for both riding time and a penalty called against Bristol.
The Dragons even up their dual season record at 2-2 and will move on to face North Carolina at Pembroke to cap off day one of the National Duals in Cedar Falls at 5 p.m.
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – The Minnesota State University Moorhead Dragons opened up the National Duals in Iowa. The Dragons jumped out early over the No. 1 ranked Mavericks but could not hold off the top ranked team and fell by a final of 13-33.
The Dragons got on the board first when 125-pounder Corey Ulmer captured a major decision over Nebraska-Omaha's Cody Tyler. Ulmer had a pair of takedowns and a two-point nearfall in the first period while yielding only one point on an escape.
Ulmer backed up his tough first period by taking down Tyler once again and putting him on his back for another two-point nearfall, putting him up 10-1. Ulmer would gain one more point on riding time and go on to an 11-1 win.
Redshirt Senior Evan Forde (141 pounds) would also gain points for the Dragons, getting a forfeit win over the Mavericks. The Dragons could not secure another win until the final match when Redshirt Senior and heavyweight Jon Swart defeated Taylor Escamilla 6-5.
Swart found himself down 0-1 after two periods but rallied in the third. Swart gained a pair of escapes and capitalized with one reversal and a takedown to give himself the win. But the top-ranked Mavericks run through the middleweights gave them the momentum to secure a final 33-13 win over the Dragons.
The Dragons fall to 1-2 on the dual season, both losses coming against No. 1 ranked teams, and will now move on to face Grand Canyon (Ariz.) at 1 p.m.

Tax Credit overpayment debt leaves Universal Credit mum unable to feed children
The debts are collected through deductions from Universal Credit
Vicky Shaw, PA
Children are going hungry
Historic debts for tax credit overpayments have left a mum on Universal Credit without enough money to feed her children.
Her case has been highlighted by a charity to demonstrate the hardships some households are facing due to the collection of historic tax credit overpayments must be reduced, a charity has said.
StepChange Debt Charity said some people are unable to pay for essentials.
Tax credit overpayments are among the debts collected through deductions from Universal Credit, following a previous agreement between HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
According to StepChange's survey data, 98% of clients experiencing such deductions struggle to cope, and 59% borrow to cover the shortfall.
Nearly nine in 10 (89%) clients surveyed had a payment taken which they could not afford.
One client told StepChange: "They are taking £100 per month, leaving me needing the food bank and struggling with utilities.
"I am a single mum and have lost my part-time job. Financially I don't have enough. We depend on the Universal Credit which is not enough for feeding my children as I can't afford the electric and gas bill."
Some people are finding up to a quarter of their allowance is taken without a check to see if this is affordable, for previous overpayments they were often unaware they had received, StepChange said.
It added that a recurring issue from its findings is a lack of clear communication, with around two-thirds claiming they did not know collections were going to start before money was taken from their Universal Credit claim.
Processes to proactively identify vulnerability also appear to be lacking, the charity said and even those clients who made efforts to disclose their situation were frequently not treated appropriately.
It added that this lags behind standards in other regulated sectors, with the Financial Conduct Authority, Ofgem and Ofwat all having launched comprehensive vulnerability strategies in recent years.
StepChange said it is urging the DWP to improve practices and reduce the hardship caused by the collection of tax credit debt.
Tax credit debts that are over six years old should be written off and debts that will take more than 10 years to repay should be reduced to affordable levels, it said.
Peter Tutton, head of policy at StepChange, said: "The lack of focus on the consequences of benefit deductions, which the Department for Work and Pensions uses to collect tax credit overpayments, is causing real harm.
"Almost every respondent to our survey told us that deductions from their benefit payments had been unaffordable, which should act as a wake-up call.
"An essential first step is that the DWP needs to ensure no one is pushed into hardship by unaffordable repayments.
"The maximum deduction should be reduced to 5% with flexibility for lower affordable payments and debt reduction so that no one is pushed into hardship of making repayments for decades.
"A limitation period should be applied as it is in regulated financial services writing off historic tax credit as HMRC has done in the past.
"These legacy debts often come as a shock to people who are unclear as to how they have ended up owing the Government money. Communication must be improved so that people are properly informed, with better identification of vulnerabilities, and better tailoring of support."
He also called for a wholesale review of the way Government collects debt.

Q: How to show an alert message in an html page when redirected from a php page after submitting a form I am working on an html page having a subscription section. The users puts his/her email in an input field and submit it. The control is then transferred to a php page which emails the subscription message to the website admin if the message is sent successfully it navigates back to index.html. Now at this point i want to show an alert message that subscription was successful or unsuccessful. How can i do that without making my index.html index.php.
<?php

$to = "@gmail.com";
$from = "edmin.media@gmail.com";
$headers = "From: " . $from . "\r\n";
$subject = "New subscription";
$body = "Dear Admin!\nNew user subscription: " . $_POST['email'];

if( filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) ) {
    if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers, "-f " . $from)) {
        @header('location:index.html');
    } else {
        @header('location:index.html');
    }
} else {
    @header('location:index.html');
}

?>

A: You could pass a GET variable in the url e.g. redirect to index.html?subscribed=yes and check for it with JavaScript.
See https://stackoverflow.com/a/901144/5063532
You can also redirect index.html to a php using .htaccess file so that for the user they appear to still be on index.html.
See https://www.addedbytes.com/articles/for-beginners/url-rewriting-for-beginners/
However, I cannot recommend this as server-side processing would be preferred and AJAX probably ideal.

Cities have always been the driving forces of world civilizations. What Niniveh was to the Assyrian civilization, Babylon was to the Babylonian civilization. When Peter the Great, third in the Romanov Dynasty, became Russia's ruler in 1696, Moscow's influence began to expand. Peter strengthened the rule of the tsar and westernized Russia, at the same time, making it a European powerhouse and greatly expanding its borders. By 1918, the Russian empire spanned a vast territory from Western Europe to China.
As Peter the Great and his successors strove to consolidate their reign over this empire, major social, economic, cultural, and political changes were happening in the urban centers. Moscow led these changes, followed by St. Petersburg, which was built as a gateway to filter and channel western civilization through the empire. By fostering diversification through connectivity, specialization, and scale economies, these cities started the structural transformation of the Russian empire away from depending on commodities and limited markets in a way that more effectively served local demand.
The Soviet era altered this dynamic.
Return of market as the main driver of the society: The failure of the Soviet economic model opened the former Soviet Union to market-oriented reforms that stimulated growth and integrated the region into the global economy. Within the region, production and intraregional trade have significant potential to expand.
Rise of the European Union (EU): Western Europe has risen in prominence, purchasing power, and ease of access. Further, the EU has adopted an explicit policy to deepen its economic ties with Eastern European countries through the European Neighborhood policy.
Rise of Asia: China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea have been the most dynamic growth stories of the past 50 years. They will offer new trade opportunities as they continue to integrate with the world. India joined them two decades ago and is also reaping the growth benefits of reforms and new investments.
In this new context , thriving cities are key drivers of growth. Around the world, leading cities play a key role in production and export by delivering a range of services. That, in turn, helps sustain economic activities, and drive urbanization dynamics in the country. Leading cities tend to be well connected domestically and externally, and offer the most diversified production. Leading Eurasian cities in the former Soviet countries are no exception, and could play a much greater role in driving the integration of the region into world markets.
But for this to happen, policy makers in all Eurasian countries need to plan cities more effectively to contain congestion and maximize agglomeration economies; improve city connectivity both internally and with key global hubs; green their cities to make them more attractive to young and talented workers; and change how cities are financed to allow other Eurasian cities to complement Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Kiev as the anchors of this region in world markets.
Eurasia refers to Armenia , Azerbaijan , Belarus , Georgia , Kazakhstan , Kyrgyz Republic , Moldova , Russian Federation (Russia) , Tajikistan , Turkmenistan , Ukraine , and Uzbekistan .


What do we do with the old mobile phones?
A lot of people have an old mobile which works fine as a phone, but since they don't have a 900Mpx camera, gps, bluetooth, rfid and blu-ray, nowadays they are considered completely useless.
So, what could we do with these things?
My idea is to create a GSM base station that covers a small range, let's say, the range of a house. The base station will be connected to a landline, and all calls will happen trough it. So basically, this GSM station will work as those stations of cordless phones.
I would guess that a regular landline cordless costs much, much less.


Does Burnout mean Mental Breakdown?
I used to judge those with a 'mental breakdown' as being weak, as someone very different from me. It took me almost a year to insert the label of burnout onto what happened to me. My health collapsed, I got chronic fatigue and I developed an autoimmune disease that I will have for life. I have been very irritated when people I interact with say that I've had a mental breakdown. I'm not a mental case. But perhaps this is the thinking that's been holding me back.
I got quite stressed recently about a few things. I had a speech for a client recently, and a case of fraud with a telecoms provider that I'm still trying to resolve. I let myself get so stressed about these things, worrying about whether my speech will land well, be worthwhile for the audience and whether it was worth spending the time and energy on it.
I sold my book at a book fair last weekend and someone called me 'the burnout lady.' I'm not too thrilled about that label but that's how my brand is evolving. I did feel compelled to call my book Avoiding Burnout. I'm not sure why, but I had to follow that instinct and I know that my next book has to be Healing Burnout. It's not progressing very well, if you're wondering.
The next book I write after Healing Burnout has to be about joy. I really want to show people that it's possible to live a better life. But I have to get my act together first. I can't spend weeks stressing about a speech that is just one part of my job. I can't let myself get so stressed about normal events in life, that it affects my health. I need to find a way to do this work that I want to do, enjoy it and lead others towards joy at the same time.
I don't want to be the burnout lady. I don't want every speech to be about burnout. I know that my message is not as powerful unless I speak about how my life collapsed. In my speeches, I explain what happened to my health, and my life, as a result of becoming sick from stress. I know that many people don't understand burnout and I must confess that before I got sick, neither did I.
Like many people, I thought it was a mental breakdown. I imagined a sufferer of burnout in a straight jacket or maybe sedated in an asylum. The option of being hospitalized was offered to me. My psychologist said that I could check into a hospital and the minimum stay would be three weeks. For the first three days, I would be sedated to the point where I wasn't conscious and I wouldn't be able to see my family. Just to let my brain calm down from the extreme stress I was under.
I didn't choose that option. I chose to carry on with life, doing my best to make changes in my own way. I didn't want to have a psychiatric stay on my record because people judge it and perhaps I wasn't ready to accept what was happening. I probably prolonged my recovery by making that choice and I wonder if it was the right one. Because people judge anyway. They judge me for having burnout. I keep wanting to call it something else, like 'stress-induced illness' so that people can see beyond the mental illness into the real issue: a lifelong autoimmune disease and the chronic fatigue.
It has become my quest to share with people what can happen to our lives if we let it. I want to educate people that they can develop a lifelong chronic illness as a result of too much stress. I want to help people to avoid the suffering that came with my illness. The effect on my life from the chronic fatigue. The effect on my children, my husband and my relationships. The effect on our lifestyle and financial situation. I want to help the world know this. But I think some people can't get past the mental illness component.
Or maybe it's me that can't get past it. Maybe I'm judging myself for letting this happen, for not managing my stress well and for not seeing it coming. Maybe I'm the one I need to convince that there's more to burnout than the failure. It's possible that there are people who suffered burnout without the lifelong illness. Perhaps there are people who took the hospital stay and that helped them enough.
Maybe it's okay to talk about depression and to admit that my brain wasn't functioning that well when I was diagnosed. I know that I was very irritable, especially with my family but also at work. I know that my decision-making was compromised by the level of stress I was under. I know that I wasn't leading my business and staff well at that time.
Perhaps what is needed is for me to acknowledge that and to forgive myself for all of it. The depression, the irritability, the shouting at my children, and the bad choices at work. I've been working on self-love and it isn't an easy thing to get right for me. But perhaps this is part of it and if I can embrace it all, maybe that will lead me to a path of peace.
I might be able to be a more-encompassing representative for people who want to talk about burnout and what it did to their lives. Perhaps if I stop judging myself for the mental aspects, I'll be at ease in talking about this topic and being the burnout lady others want to engage with.

Eight years ago, I faced the biggest crisis in my life. I made devastating choices that could have ended my marriage, with Biblical grounds. After repenting to my husband, we began the long journey to healing. We left our home, jobs and friends in San Diego in less than 24 hours and moved in with my parents in Orange County. They provided our two beautiful daughters and us a safe haven while we tried to find a way to move forward and repair our broken relationship. What a gift my parents gave us.
During the time we lived with them, you could often find me at the dining room table with a new puzzle, the pieces strewn all over its surface. Maybe the puzzle reminded me so much of our life at the time. I knew God had a plan, but at the time, none of the pieces fit, and it was all so confusing and painful. While I would do these puzzles, I usually had a particular song on repeat: "When it Was Over" by Sara Groves. It was the story of being able to speak safely about a past crisis. Oh how I longed to look at my poor choices from the future, rather than in the middle of the storm we were walking through. The devastation was far too close and much too fragile to be discussed quite yet. I couldn't wait for it to be over. I was just trudging through, bit by bit, holding on to Jesus with everything I had, which wasn't much. The healing took years, it hurt, but it was worth the fight.
Recently, I realized that it was indeed over. It didn't just come to an abrupt end. I suppose things heal over time, and it just takes awhile for us to notice. I am so thankful to be able to share my story now as I look at it from afar. I am thankful for the distance between my downfall and me. I am grateful for the perspective that comes with time and the ability to now see the puzzle finished. Looking at the tiny details that were hard, much like looking at tiny puzzle pieces, I can see why they needed to be there for the picture to be complete.
Since my husband and I have endured the tragedy of a marriage that was all but dead, our love is deeper, richer, and stronger than it ever was before. I am thankful that the storm of the past is over, but during these "puzzling" times, I found God to be so close, as close as my very breath. In a time that was full of uncertainty, He was my constant. No matter the twists and turns, Jesus was my everything. He never left me. How thankful I am for His healing and restoration. Now, I get to tell others they CAN survive anything that comes against them in their marriage.
If we will hold on to Jesus, He will help us put the pieces back together, and in the end we will see, though some were more painful than others due to consequences of our actions, God can still use every single puzzle piece to create a beautiful picture.
There is a love that never fails.
There is a healing that always prevails.
a promise to stay while we're working it out.

A "sweet" new group of ingredients being used in the green formulating industry is the Sucragel line of products developed by Alfa Chemicals in the UK. Rather than being a single ingredient, these materials are provided as mixtures of natural oils, glycerin, and esters of the sugar molecule, sucrose.
Sucragels can be easily incorporated into a variety of hair and skin products where they provide thickening to the product, emulsion stabilization, mild cleansing and for leave on products, impart hydration to the skin and hair through the attraction and binding of water molecules to the humectant sugar molecules.
Sucragel enjoys the prestigious European Ecocert label, which means it is internationally accepted as a viable option for natural formulations and can be used in products for companies whose policies regarding the quality and safety of their ingredients are rigorous.
Sucragel is PEG-free, biodegradable, preservative-free, entirely vegetable derived, is available in a 94% organic option, and is amenable to cold process technology, which uses less energy and is considered a more sustainable business practice for manufacture of products. These mixtures add benefit to formulations for both skin and hair, and are found in a variety of products so far, including several Burt's Bees gentle shampoos.
Sucrose laurate is then mixed with glycerin, water (aqua), and an oil phase consisting of either caprylic/capric triglycerides or sweet almond oil. The final solution is Sucragel, which can be readily mixed with a variety of nonpolar oils, including botanical oils, silicones, mineral oils, and esters, to produce a stable, clear, oily gel. Sucragels are a mixture designed to capitalize upon the nonionic surfactant properties of sugar esters. These are obtained by an esterification reaction between sucrose and a fatty acid, typically the coconut fatty acid (lauric) to produce sucrose laurate.
The resultant gels can be added to aqueous mixtures, where they emulsify spontaneously, which is useful for making lotions, face creams, cleansers, or lightweight conditioners. Additionally, the oily gels can be used to make excellent deep conditioning treatments or as light topical humectants if applied sparingly. The ease with which these materials can be used in formulations makes them suitable materials for home dabbling in cosmetics chemistry.
Sucragels also have application as co-surfactants in low-foaming, mild shampoos. Burt's Bees makes use of Sucragel in a variety of their natural shampoos for adults and children. They are also found in A'kin shampoo, Organic Surge shampoo, The Body Shop rainforest shampoo, Madara shampoo, and The Organic Pharmacy, to name a few. Due to their amphiphilic, nonionic structure, they provide very mild cleansing and are considered moisturizing. They are used in products targeting safety and health as replacements for PEG-modified surfactants, which are coming under scrutiny for potential health complications.
Sucragel can also be used in lightweight leave-in conditioning products, especially if the primary conditioning agent is a silicone or botanical oil. In these they impart hydration and moisturization both from the almond oil and the sugar ester.
Sucragel seems to be primarily suited for hydration and emulsification purposes, and is thus appropriate for use in shampoos, leave-in conditioners, and skin creams. It is not readily apparent from the product literature whether it is compatible with some of the typical styling polymers, such as acrylates or pyrrolidones. It is sensitive to electrolytes in the solution, which indicates that the cationic conditioning and styling polymers would definitely not work well with these materials. It would be interesting to see if they added anything beneficial to a flax seed gel or something similar.
Several different Sucragel mixtures are available for formulators, so they have multiple INCI designations for labels.

Sucragels are a mixture of sugar esters and oils that enable formulators to create viscous, oily gels and stable emulsions for a variety of hair and skin care products. They provide mild cleansing, emulsion stabilization, environmentally friendly manufacturing, and are biodegradable, to name some of their desirable traits. Some research studies have shown that in certain mixtures, these materials form some very interesting structures (bicontinuous phases) that may provide more sophisticated avenues for application in the future. An additional perk is that they are also obtainable from a variety of sources so that it is possible to play with them at home to see how they work for you.
While these sugar ester based mixtures may not be tasty (but they are edible), they do seem to be a fantastic resource for the cosmetic market. The sugar esters themselves are water soluble, but the plant oils require a mild cleanser to be removed thoroughly from the hair surface. Due to their highly hydrophilic structures, the humectant properties from both the sucrose ester and the glycerin may produce a tacky feel to the hair and even lead to frizz, especially in certain environmental conditions, so be aware of this if you choose to use leave-in products containing these. Overall, the Sucragel mixture is very gentle material with much potential as formulators both at home and in labs strive to develop products that embrace the green philosophy.

Borrowers Contest Promissory Note Signatures
OHIO CASE LAW UPDATE
Christiana Trust v. Berter, 2020-Ohio-727, (12th District 2020)
The borrowers raised a number of issues in this case. The most significant issue was their argument that they should be allowed to contest the signatures that appear on the promissory note indorsements. This could present significant problems, not least of which would involve tracking down the individuals that signed the indorsements. Courts in Ohio have not had the opportunity to address this issue in any detail. The borrowers' argument was based on ORC 1303.35, which corresponds UCC 3-306 and 3-308. Most states have adopted UCC 3-306 and 3-308 in some version so this issue could arise across the country. The Court of Appeals ruled that ORC/UCC does not provide the borrowers with the right to contest signatures that appear on indorsements as that provision was intended to provide the maker of the promissory note with the opportunity to raise the issue of the maker's signature being fraudulent or forged. The borrowers attempted to appeal this decision to the Ohio Supreme Court, but that court denied jurisdiction. Contrast this with the George decision below.
Different Indorsements of a Promissory Note
U.S. Bank Nat'l Ass'n v. George, 2020-Ohio-6758, (10th District 2020)
This is the second time the George case has been on appeal since 2015. The issue in George I and George II involved copies of a promissory note submitted to the court that contained different indorsements. It is important to note that Ohio is not an original promissory note state. If it were and the original promissory note was presented as evidence, the issue would not have been raised. In the George II trial the original promissory note was offered as evidence and the lender prevailed. However, in both George I and George II the Court of Appeals implied that ORC 1303.35, which corresponds UCC 3-306 and 3-308 could be used by the borrower to challenge signatures on an indorsement to a promissory note. The 10th District Court of Appeals decision in George II is inconsistent with the 12th District Court of Appeals decision in Christiana Trust v. Berter, 2020-Ohio-727, (12th District 2020), which means the Ohio Supreme Court may accept the issue in the future to resolve the conflict.
Lender is Entitled to Pursue its Foreclosure on the Equitable Mortgage Theory
Wilmington Sav. Fund Soc'y FSB as Trust v. Woods, 2020-Ohio-4599, (2nd District 2020)
This case is of particular interest to lenders as it is the first decision in Ohio where a Court of Appeals acknowledged the right of a lender to pursue foreclosure of an equitable mortgage where the borrower is deceased, the mortgage was lost and never recorded and title to the property was transferred. The trial court judge granted a Motion for Summary Judgment filed by the heirs of the deceased borrower and held that under Ohio law, a mortgage becomes operative as to third parties only when it is recorded. Lender's counsel argued on appeal argued that the case law relied upon by the trial court applied to bona fide purchasers for value and the heirs could not inherit an interest greater than what the decedent held. The Court of Appeals agreed and held that the heirs of a decedent do not inherit a greater interest in the estate's property than the interest held by the decedent. Therefore, the lender is entitled to pursue its foreclosure on the equitable mortgage theory.
