How to Fix Common Hair Problems

by

Brent McNutt

Hair problems can be a drag and ruin an otherwise great day. We all encounter hair problems at one point or another, luckily there are a number of ways we can eliminate or prevent these common hair nuisance. Below are some tips for fixing common hair problems.

Dandruff

Dandruff can be very annoying not to mention embarrassing. Dandruff is flakes of dead skin that disperses and falls off from the hair, making it noticeable or visible in a persons hair or on clothing. While the cause of dandruff is unknown, recent studies have suggested that it is caused by a type of fungus. While dandruff is not dangerous or contagious, it can be itchy and uncomfortable. To reduce dandruff flakes, you can use shampoos that are specially formulated to get rid of dandruff. Most of these shampoos contain zinc, salicylic acid, selenium sulfide or tars. When shampooing your hair with an anti-dandruff shampoo, massage your scalp gently for at least five minutes. Loosen the flakes with your fingers, but make sure to never scratch your scalp with your nails. Rinse your hair thoroughly after washing. If there is no over-the-counter anti-dandruff shampoo that works for you, you should see a doctor or hair specialist in urbane scrubs so that he or she can prescribe a liquid or lotion for your scalp.

Hair breakage

Hair strands can break when points in the hair weaken or thicken. Breakage can happen at any point of the hair, at the middle, near the scalp, or at the ends of the air. When hair breaks at the end, it is called split ends; the hair splits and can travel up to the shaft of the hair. Hair breakage is typically caused by the improper use of chemical hair treatments and the use of shampoos that contain strong chemicals. Using organic shampoo with organic and gentle ingredients can lessen hair breakage. Other major causes of breakage also include combing the hair too frequently or brushing and detangling the hair improperly. Using a wide-tooth comb and gently brushing the hair will help avoid breakage. Tight buns, braids, hair extensions, and other such elaborate hair styles can also cause the hair to break. Pulling it out on your own or leaving the hairstyle too long can cause hair and scalp damage or hair loss. In some cases, dry and brittle hair as well as hair loss can be a sign of poor nutrition or a medical condition such as hypothyroidism. Eat nutritious food packed with vitamins, minerals and proteins. If your hair is still breaking even if you take good care of it and eat healthy, you should see a doctor to determine if it is caused by a medical condition.

If your hair is breaking even though you don’t treat it with chemicals or other styling products, see a doctor.

Hair Loss

We all lose some of our hair on a daily basistypically when we shower or sleep. It is common to lose about 100 strands of hair a day; old hair fall out to be replaced with new and healthier hair. However, some people experience abnormal hair loss that thins the hair at a faster rate, which cannot be replaced naturally. This can caused baldness or bald patches. Abnormal hair loss, or alopecia, can be temporary or permanent. Some are caused by poor nutrition, a medical condition or is hereditary. You should consult your doctor if you are experiencing alopecia to determine its cause and if it can be treated.

Depakote Allegedly Responsible For Causing Ovarian Cysts In Women

Although past studies regarding the anticonvulsant medication, Depakote, have focused on the potential for the drug to cause major birth defects in infants who are exposed to Depakote in utero, recent research has indicated that Depakote may also contribute to an increased risk of ovarian cysts in women who take the drug to treat their seizure-related disorders. In fact, according to a recent study, 10.5% of women who took Abbott Laboratories’ Depakote developed irregularities in their menstrual cycles accompanied by hyperandrogenism, a risk factor for ovarian cysts. This significant risk represents a percentage 7.5 times higher than that of other anti-seizure medications, like Lithium.

Depakote use has been associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a condition caused by a hormone imbalance in the brain and ovaries, affecting approximately five to ten percent of women of child-bearing age. Changes to the ovaries typical of PCOS cause multiple follicles to accumulate in the ovaries without being ovulated. The ovaries then secrete increased levels of estrogen and testosterone, causing women with PCOS to experience irregular or absent menstruation, hypertension, diabetes, excess body hair and obesity. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is also believed to be one of the leading causes of infertility in females.

The ovaries of women with PCOS receive irregular signals from the pituitary gland, which prevents them from ovulating, or producing eggs. Lack of ovulation causes infertility and can also lead to other severe medical conditions such as endometrial cancer and a disorder called endometrial hyperplasia. Many women with PCOS are prescribed a form of birth control pill since these products contain the hormones a woman’s body requires to treat the condition. By taking these hormone-containing contraceptives, women with PCOS can correct their hormone imbalance, regulate their menstrual cycle, lower the level of testosterone in their bodies, and decrease their risk of developing endometrial cancer.

According to extensive research, PCOS has a higher prevalence in women with bipolar disorder, which may be caused directly or indirectly by the use of valproate-containing anticonvulsant medications like Depakote. Regardless of the specific role Depakote may play in the potential development of polycystic ovarian syndrome, experts believe that anti-epileptic medications like Depakote may significantly compound the risk of women developing PCOS, potentially causing infertility and other major medical issues.

U.S. warns of al Qaeda threat to stock trading and banking websites

Friday, December 1, 2006

The U.S. government warned private financial services that al Qaeda is planning a cyber attack on the U.S. stock and bank accounts, officials said on Thursday.

Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke says: “There is no information to corroborate this aspirational threat. As a routine matter and out of an abundance of caution, US-CERT issued the situational awareness report to industry stakeholders.”

The officials said that the attacks are aimed at destroying the databases of U.S. banking and stock market web sites. The Homeland Security group claims that the threat was for all of December.

A U.S. official said that the threat was posted on an website and called for the attack to avenge the imprisonment of Muslims in the Guantanamo detention camp.

Australia: Mat Morgan, Greens candidate in South Gippsland, talks climate, tourism, and local issues with Wikinews

Sunday, September 5, 2021

Since June 2019, the people of South Gippsland Shire, located at the southernmost tip of Australia, have been without a local council, after a state government inquiry found “high levels of tension” within the council. Administrators were appointed by the Victorian state government in July 2019, who have governed the shire since then. However, South Gippsland’s council is scheduled to be restored with an election to be held via post from October 5-22, 2021.

Wikinews interviewed one of the candidates standing in this election, Mat Morgan. He is running as a candidate in the Coastal-Promontory Ward, and is endorsed by the Australian Greens. The Coastal-Promontory ward covers towns such as Venus Bay, Waratah Bay, Yanakie, Foster, Port Welshpool, and Toora, and elects three councillors to the South Gippsland Shire Council.

Ireland’s Household Charge 2012

These are the details of the new Household Charge – a new Property Tax that were announced in Budget 2012 and will be introduced in Ireland from January 2012.

The Bill has yet to be passed into Law – but it was passed in the Dail on Dec 14th.

The 2012 Household Charge amount will be set at E100 a year. The Household Tax will have to be paid before March 31st in each year of liability to avoid penalty charges.

Owners of residential property will be liable for the charge on each residential property they own as at 1st January 2012. Tenants will not have to register to pay the Household Charge.

Billing: No bills or invoices for this household charge will be sent – the charge will be on a self-declaration basis.

The definition of a residential property includes – house, maisonette, flat, apartment, bedsit. So – the owner of a building split into 5 bedsits will be liable for five lots of Household Charge.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfWi90eJj0U[/youtube]

A building is liable if it is occupied, or suitable for occupation. An empty house will not be exempt.A property which is let to more than one tenant with exclusive use of a bedroom for each person and joint use of common areas will only be liable for one Household Charge. Registration and payment can be carried out online when the HouseholdCharge.ie website is up and running. There will also be an option to register and pay by post. No other method of payment (i.e. in person) has been mentioned.

The liability date for 2012 will be January 1st 2012 and households will have three months to pay.

Late payment penalties will apply as follows:

Payments made within 3 and 6 months of January 2012 – a 10% penalty.

Payments made between 6 and 12 months late – a 20% penalty.Payments more than 12 months late – a 30% penalty plus 1% interest per month

So – if someone is 12 months late paying the E100 household charge – they will owe E130 plus another E12 interest – a total of E142.

If charges remain unpaid a charge will remain attached to the property

Selling House: A vendor of a residential property must pay any household charge, late payment fee and late payment interest due on the property and give a certificate of discharge, exemption or waiver in respect of each liability date during the vendor’s ownership to a purchaser on or before the sale or transfer can be completed.

Payments- The new charges will be payable as a one off payment online or by post or by quarterly direct debits. No “over the counter” payments are mentioned. There is no E10 fee for over the counter payments (this will apply to NPPR payments from 2012)

The following exemptions from the Household Charge apply: etc.

The following buildings are not defined as residential property and will not be liable for the charge: Buildings that are …• Part of the trading stock of a business and from which no income has been derived since the building’s construction, and has never been used as a dwelling.• vested in certain public authorities;• owned by voluntary housing bodies;• Wholly used as dwellings and liable for commercial ratesAn owner of a residential property is exempt from the household charge if, on the liability date, the residential property is:• Comprised in a discretionary trust;• Owned by an approved charity;• Vacated by the owner by reason of long term mental or physical infirmity.

The following households will have the charge waived:

1. Those in receipt of mortgage interest supplement – (about 18,000 households)

2. Those in certain unfinished housing estates (Estimated to be less than 1300 estates): – which will be on a list prescribed by the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government. (List not yet available).

Co-owners of property shall be jointly and severally liable for the charge, and payment of the charge by any one co-owner shall discharge the liability for all the co-owners

The Household Charge is just an interim measure to be put in place until a full property tax system is worked out.

The Household Charge/ Household Tax collected is supposed to be used by local authorities to help fund local services such as fire and emergency services, libraries, street cleaning, lighting, planting etc. Up until now the Exchequer has contributed to the funding of these services, but now some of the funding will be collected through the introduction of this household charge.

The Household Charge is expected to raise about E160 million a year, but there will be costs incurred in administration and collection of the charge.

SEPTA buys rail cars from NJ Transit to deal with crowding

Tuesday, July 29, 2008

As gas prices have risen in the United States, the regional transport authority for southeastern Pennsylvania, SEPTA, has seen a sharp increase in ridership, which has caused overcrowding on the trains.

“As fuel prices have continued to rise, SEPTA ridership has steadily increased and is the highest in 18 years,” said SEPTA General Manager Joseph Casey. Monthly ridership was 22 percent higher last month than a year ago.

“They have crushed loads on their rail lines, already where people are standing, and there’s not enough seats,” said Rich Bickel, the director of the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission.

“At peak times some railcars are standing room only and commuter parking lots are nearly full. All Regional Rail lines are running near full capacity and the train station parking lots are at about 90 percent capacity or more,” SEPTA spokesperson Felipe Suarez said.

While SEPTA awaits new Silverliner V trains from Hyundai Rotem, which begin arriving in 2009, it had hoped to lease eight rail cars from New Jersey Transit, at an agreed-upon rate of US$10,000 per month. However, due to problems with insurance and liability indemnification, the deal fell through, according to Casey.

SEPTA has entered a new agreement to purchase the eight rail cars from NJ Transit. The transit authority will pay US$670,000 for the cars and assorted supplies plus one additional inoperative car which will be used for spare parts. The rail cars will be operated using a SEPTA provided locomotive as they are not self-propelled.

The cars are being disposed of by NJ Transit because it has switched from single-floor cars to double-decker cars.

SEPTA is expecting to raise US$3.1 million by selling rail that has been out of service since 1981 at auction.

Air Pacific re-brands as Fiji Airways

Saturday, June 29, 2013

Fiji’s national airline Air Pacific has now officially returned to its original name: Fiji Airways. Fiji Airways adopted the Air Pacific name in 1971, slightly prior to its first international flight on June 3, 1973. The re-brand was described by interim CEO Aubrey Swift as allowing the airline to align itself “closer with Fiji as a destination”. The name change is designed in part to reduce the confusion which surrounded the name Air Pacific. Swift noted that “Air Pacific just didn’t resonate with our customers” and said that same people “thought we were an air conditioning company”.

Along with the name change, the airline has redesigned its website, and changed the name of each of its classes of service. Pacific Voyager and Tabua Class have been replaced with economy and business class respectively. The airline has also introduced plans to overhaul its fleet of older Boeing 747s with Airbus A330s. It has said that the completion of this overhaul and the re-branding efforts will be completed by the end of the year.

The airline’s new brand-mark and livery features a masi design created by Fijian artist, Makereta Matemosi. The new identity is to “symbolises the airline’s new identity and epitomises all that Fiji Airways represents. It is authentic, distinctive, and true to the airline’s Fijian roots”, the airline said.
