How migration is fuelling the outstanding rise of cricket in Germany
Point out the game of cricket to most Europeans and their eyes glaze over with confusion.
Probably the most English of video games is little recognized in continental Europe.
However that might all be about to alter amid the outstanding and unlikely rise of Germany”s nationwide crew.
They made historical past just lately by making it via to the ultimate stage of qualifying for a significant match — subsequent yr’s T20 World Cup, which is ready to begin in Australia subsequent October. Heading into their remaining sport in opposition to Italy, Germany knew that in the event that they averted a thrashing they had been more likely to progress. And despite the fact that they misplaced the match — by only one run — it was sufficient to take them via.
“It’s a fully wonderful feeling. It’s historic for German cricket,” says Venkat Ganesan, the crew’s captain.
“There have been some wonderful scenes. All people was pumped and leaping with pleasure once we knew that we had certified. It was good.”
The crew will now be part of 15 different international locations within the world qualifiers, to be held early subsequent yr, the place they may compete for one of many remaining 4 spots within the 2022 match.
Plucky underdogs
Regardless of the euphoria of constructing it via to the ultimate stage of qualifiers for the primary time, these concerned with the crew are staying grounded.
“We now have to be practical and say that we’ll be enjoying in opposition to a few of the finest groups on the earth who’ve a price range that’s in all probability 50 occasions larger than ours,” stated Brian Mantle, the CEO of the German Cricket Federation (DCB). “So we’re going into the match as a giant underdog.”
However, Mantle says the qualifiers will present German cricket with the chance to win way over only a spot in subsequent yr’s World Cup.
“Most individuals don’t know that Germany performs cricket. These video games shall be broadcast in all places — on Sky Sports activities in England, on Star Sports activities in India — so individuals will see that there’s a German cricket crew. They’ll be shocked, however it’s our job then to clearly make an impression. That doesn’t essentially imply qualifying for the World Cup, however by performing effectively, enjoying effectively, profitable a few video games and perhaps springing a shock or two.”
From the basement to the brink
The achievement marks one other step within the outstanding rise of German cricket, which in recent times has gone from the cricketing doldrums to the brink of world cup qualification.
And whereas it’d shock many who Germany even has a nationwide crew, the array of expertise inside its ranks is maybe extra stunning.
In an indication of his cricketing credentials, Ganesan, who moved to Germany from Chennai in India to take up a job in an IT firm in 2012, performed each junior and senior consultant cricket for his residence state of Tamil Nadu, and alongside the best way referred to as Indian internationals Ravi Ashwin and Dinesh Kartik — absolute superstars of the sport — his teammates.
The crew additionally contains South African-born Dieter Klein, who performs professionally for English county cricket aspect Leicestershire, Michael Richardson, who loved a decade-long profession with English aspect Durham, and Talha Khan, who performed junior consultant cricket in his native Pakistan.
Including to this, the crew is led by coach Steven Knox, a former Scottish worldwide cricketer, whose professionalism has been credited by gamers and directors alike as key to the aspect’s speedy progress in recent times.
Though the crew has a really worldwide flavour, Mantle — himself an Englishman — says the gamers all have robust hyperlinks to Germany.
“A few of them had been born right here, a few of them realized their cricket right here, and a few of them have moved to Germany, made Germany their residence and lived right here for a number of years. So each single a kind of gamers has a robust connection to Germany,” he says.
Germany’s cricketing explosion
The rise of German cricket isn’t simply restricted to the nationwide crew, nevertheless. Lately the sport has skilled a grassroots explosion to develop into the nation’s fastest-growing crew sport — even when lots of people in Germany nonetheless wouldn’t know their foolish mid-ons from their googlies!
There are round 6,000 registered gamers throughout 370 groups nationwide, up from simply 70 groups 5 years in the past. However even this doesn’t present the complete image: the DCB estimates that when unregistered gamers in unofficial competitions are taken into consideration, the true variety of cricketers within the nation stands at round 15,000–16,000.
Though the overwhelming majority are males, there has additionally been a growth within the girls’s sport, which now boasts round 200 gamers throughout 15 groups nationwide.
The primary issue behind this has been the rise in individuals transferring to Germany from the cricket-mad international locations of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka over the previous decade.
Particularly, 2015 was a key second for the game, when an estimated 180,000 Afghans sought asylum in Germany. Given that almost all had been males below the age of 30, many had been eager to search out someplace to have a success — and so they actually made their presence felt.
“The season began in April. I performed my first sport after which, sadly, received injured, so I used to be out for a month,” remembers Khan, who performs for the Karlsruhe Cougars. “However after I got here again to coaching, hastily we had like 16 or 17 gamers. Earlier than we had virtually none as a result of quite a lot of gamers lived far-off and barely got here to coaching. It simply modified in a matter of months.”
The arrival of so many eager Afghan cricketers turned German cricket on its head: earlier than, there typically weren’t sufficient gamers to fill a crew; however all of a sudden, many golf equipment had been confronted with the prospect of not having sufficient groups for all of the gamers.
“It truly created just a few small issues, as a result of we solely had one crew and all of them wished to play,” says Khan. “However it additionally gave us all a push, as a result of quite a lot of these youngsters had been good and younger.”
The state of affairs was a far cry from when Khan first arrived in Germany in 2012 to check for a Grasp’s diploma — along with his thoughts effectively and really targeted on the books moderately than the bat and ball.
“I got here to Germany not anticipating to play cricket. I didn’t even deliver my equipment bag, I didn’t know individuals performed cricket in Germany,” he says.
Nonetheless, after coming throughout a Fb group run by cricketers he jumped on the likelihood to have a success.
“I nonetheless bear in mind, it was February and there was snow in all places. I couldn’t even see the pitch,” he laughs. “It didn’t really feel very skilled on the time. It was very small, and there weren’t many gamers.”
Breaking down obstacles
The varied nature of the German cricket fraternity has highlighted the function that the game can play in serving to new arrivals construct a way of group and keep hyperlinks with residence.
“It helps construct a connection to the tradition the place you’re from as a result of the general public are from Pakistan, India, Afghanistan. So once you come to cricket, it feels such as you’re again residence once more,” says Khan.
He additionally notes that it’s been a fantastic software for overcoming a few of the extra frequent stereotypes and prejudices that folks might develop of their residence international locations.
“There’s quite a lot of political stress between international locations like Pakistan, India and Afghanistan and there’s quite a lot of destructive propaganda, however individuals by no means hear in regards to the constructive tales. They by no means hear in regards to the people on the opposite aspect, who’re just about the identical as us,” he says.
“Whenever you’re enjoying cricket, quite a lot of the time you neglect that we’re all from completely different international locations. That sort of provides us a pleasant sense of unity and breaks via obstacles that wouldn’t have been damaged if we had have stayed in our respective international locations.”
And it’s precisely this worldwide Mischung that Mantle hopes will assist in the future set up cricket inside mainstream German society.
“Take into consideration how cricket has developed. The Indians and Pakistanis play cricket as a result of the English taught them cricket. Then the Pakistanis taught cricket to the Afghans. And the Afghans have now migrated to Germany, and now they’re instructing cricket to the Germans.
That’s the one method that a sport can truly develop: by having individuals transfer round and instructing individuals. It’s prefer it’s come full circle: it’s gone from the UK to Asia and now it’s Asian individuals bringing it again to Europe.”

Allan Davidson Missed his Second Innings of 80, One of the Greatest Finishes of the Game so Far
Allan Davidson missed his second innings of 80, one of the greatest finishes of the game so far. “My best batting was in the second innings in a tie Test. But Benaud ran me out at the most crucial moment. We only had two overs. We needed seven runs in about seven minutes. I told him, ‘ Just make sure I’m down for Wes Hall.’ Richie played three or four balls in the last over. Then that straight hit Joe Solomon and took off. I wasn’t really 100% back up and I was four to five yards away. The next over Hall hit Richie Was caught behind. It was the most unforgettable game ever.”
Allan Davidson grew up on the New South Wales Central Coast and learned the game on home pitch at the family property before moving to Sydney.

Overcoming a series of injuries, Allan Davidson was at his best in the late 1950s and early 1960s under the captaincy of his schoolmate, New South Wales teammate and close friend Benaud.
He took Match Figures of 12 for 124 Against India at Kanpur in 1959, Including his Career-Best 7 for 93 in the Second Innings of 57.3 Overs.
He claimed a wicket on his last ball in Test cricket against England in 1963. “When I went to start that last over in Test cricket, it was a trip down memory lane,” he recalled in 2012. “I missed my first Test match. I was in Nottingham and the rest of my career came back, and I was thinking, ‘I hope I can do something in this over.’
“I had lost count of the number of balls I bowled. And turned to the umpire, asked him how many balls were left. ‘That’s it,’” he replied. The last two balls I bowled to Alan Smith. I had her in the place where her feet were doing something. I thought if I could pitch it at this particular spot, he would take it out on the wicketkeeper or slip. As it was, he dismissed Bobby Simpson at first slip. It was like a crescent moon, and then it was a relief that I went out in a way I hadn’t even thought of.”

However, after the WTC final, they had an upset against Bangladesh in a five-match T20I series where they lost 2–3 on the away soil. However, many of their key players were not present on the tour and the T20 WC campaign will be a different story with their full-strength squad.
Strength and Weakness of New Zealand squad
There are various positives in the NZ squad and the main stands to be their skipper Kane Williamson. Apart from being a cool skipper, he plays the anchor role for the side very well and has been a big match player. He showed his very best in the WTC final against India too and can replicate the same class now.
Adding to the batting lineup, veteran Martin Guptill holds a high significance as he can chip in with crucial runs and set the perfect tone for Kiwis. He stands to be the second-highest run-scorer in the T20Is only behind Indian skipper Virat Kohli. Devon Conway who averages 59.12 in T20Is can be of great help for New Zealand too.
Ish Sodhi and Mitchell Santner can make an impact on slow wickets in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah while for Dubai, they have great pacers like Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson, and Kyle Jamieson. Talking of weakness in their squad, it is known to all that Boult didn’t have a fine IPL and couldn’t make a mark in the UAE. On the other hand, Jamieson isn’t an out-and-out T20 bowler. Even Williamson would be returning after a hamstring niggle.
Players to watch out for-
Adaptability and Flexibility
The criteria fit well for Blackcaps as they have players who can stand tall in all conditions. Sodhi and Santner will be crucial in the subcontinent whereas pacers will hold their heads high in Dubai pitches. Barring a miracle, the T20 WC journey of the New Zealand players can be expected to be a smooth one. A fine all-rounder stands to be missing in their lot when compared to world-class all-rounders (Glenn Maxwell, Andres Russell, etc) in other teams, and hence, they will have to adapt in a way where this particular void won’t harm them.
Ross Taylor’s wrist work stands to be one of the best and New Zealand might miss his services in the UAE. As they are placed with India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan in group 2, they will have to perform well against every team as even Afghanistan is capable of producing wonders on their day.
Probable Finish
Group one is being referred to as a group of death by experts around the world as it has the likes of England, Australia, West Indies, and South Africa. West Indies being the defending champions will be eyeing another title in the format whereas New Zealand will look forward to clinching their maiden glory in the World T20. Keeping their group (India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan) in consideration, they can finish in the top two.

England vs Australia Preview
Game 14
A win for either side and it is semi-finals here we come.
England’s bowling has been outperforming itself in this tournament and will be confident against a slightly toothless Aussie batting line-up. Whilst it may not be possible for Moeen to bowl as much up top as he has been due to a lack of lefties, this shouldn’t be a huge problem. England’s batting hasn’t been tested yet but they have class running the whole way through.
How’s about stat: England: From 2018–20 Buttler scored at 160 in the PP for England but this year that’s dropped to 136.73, due to a big drop in boundary percentage.
Australia are two from two but haven’t looked overly convincing. Their openers fired in their second game but their middle order is a bit nurdling (although Stoinis can bring power at the end). Having to bowl four parttime overs against a batting side as strong as England could be a bit of worry but you can never right off a Starc day out.
How’s about stat: Since 2019 Australia score at just 7.12 an over against spin and average 22.93 compared to 8.61 and 31.08 vs pace.
England Cricket Draft Pick:
Adil Rashid (154k)
Barring Maxwell, Australia’s middle order are poor players of spin and lack intent (they are also right-handed). Rashid will fancy his chances through the middle overs.
Australia Cricket Draft Pick:
Mitchell Starc (167k)
As probably the only Australian bowler who can stop the English batters on their best day, Starc is a good shoat from a solid performance.
Prediction: England win. England will simply have too much boundary hitting potential in their batting line-up.
How’s about stat: England: From 2018–20 Buttler scored at 160 in the PP for England but this year that’s dropped to 136.73, due to a big drop in boundary percentage.

AFG vs NAM Dream11 Prediction with Playing XI, Pitch Report & Player Stats
ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, 2021, Match-27th, and the match is going to be played between Afghanistan and Namibia at the Dubai International Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.
Preview
Afghanistan who has started a great series in this Men’s T20 World cup where they played against Scotland and defeated them in no time their bowling departments are so worthy of taking wickets in tough situations, however, their batting does need a dept in it to defend to chase big scores in big matches.
On the other hand, Nambia has played brilliantly in the previous match against Scotland however the upcoming match they are going to play against is not gonna be an easy game for them because Afghanistan is looking so impressive in this T20 world cup however they also have a chance to get up and rise against best teams to learn more and more in this big format.
Pitch Report — AFG vs NAM
All the pitch of Dubai has been good for bowlers from IPL and also we are seeing no good thing for batters however the middle overs might be good to score runs on the board but if spinners come into the attack then the batters should think once before hitting the bowl for big shots because the pitch has so much of turn and the pitch is slow so the spinners are also investing a bit pace while releasing from the hand and that affects a lot in this type of pitches however the average score on this pitch is like 144, 150, 152 and might be defendable.

Shakib: The team felt relieved by the victory
|
Shakib Al Hasan, Bangladesh were relieved by a 26-run win over Oman on Tuesday, but it was a tough job. He said Bangladesh defended 153 runs from spells from Mahedi Hasan and Mohammad Saifuddin, but they still wanted to improve their batting.
Bangladesh won by 26 runs
Bangladesh endured a few moments of panic but eventually overcame Oman with great difficulty at the Al Amarat Stadium in Muscat on Tuesday afternoon.

“I think we’ve been able to improve on it, but we shouldn’t be too worried about it.” Shakib.
Shakib said, ‘This victory is a matter of relief for the team. “I believe the dressing room will feel a lot better. The loss to Scotland was definitely disappointing, but they played well. Like Oman did today. We had to work hard to get back in the game. I think Saifuddin and Mehdi bowled really well. Their spells were the turning point of this win. I think they didn’t even give 30 runs in their eight overs, which really helped us. Credit to them both for their bowling.

Shakib said that he needs to make some adjustments in the first six and last five overs to get a better score in this match. “I think we have room to improve from 20 to 25. We can get 15 more runs in the powerplay, and get an extra 10 runs in the last five overs, we can get it done.
“I think we are capable of improving that, but we shouldn’t be too worried about it. If we get these extra runs, we can defend a score of over 170,” he said.

Oman and Scotland’s performance against Bangladesh also caught the attention of Shakib, who said there should be more respect for the allies.
“I have to give a lot of credit to my colleagues for the way he managed to play cricket despite the odds. He played good cricket.
“As a Test-playing country, we have high expectations. We try to win but it’s not always possible. When we beat big teams, they probably feel that way. It’s cricket for you. “

What are Wigs and Hair Pieces?
|
A complete wig can cover the entire head. Here is an interesting fact: wigs are often called “headwear”. This also includes wigs called “ Lace Front Wigs “ or “net-like” wigs, which are just ways of making wigs.
As we all know, wigs are the most effective styling tool for people. They can replace your own hair and cover your entire head. There are many reasons for using wigs, such as hair loss, baldness, or just to change your appearance.
What do wigs look like? Usually in the shape of hair, ponytails, or headbands, so you can wear them on your hair. If a specific area of the head becomes thinner and you need to place hair on top to cover that part, hairpieces are the best option, or you can simply use them to create other hairstyles, such as a super long and full ponytail with just one hair braid. Use it to increase the thickness.
You may encounter some difficulties when washing wigs, and depending on whether they are real hair wigs or synthetic, you must be very careful. Since intact hair strands are usually attached to plastic or other materials, you must change the way of shampooing and care for your hair according to the material and production process of the wig.
How long the wigs last depend on whether they are real or synthetic, and the way you take care of them will also greatly affect their lifespan. Generally, if you take care of your real hair wigs properly, they can be used for up to one year, while synthetic wigs usually cannot be used for more than three months.
Therefore, you need to know as much as possible about all the information about different types of wigs on the market. We hope that we can give you all the necessary information so that you can wisely decide which type of hair extension is right for you. Find your favorite hair type and achieve your hair goals.

The Shocking Truth About Female Hair Loss
|
The Shocking Truth About Female Hair Loss
When you talk about genetic hair loss most people think about the most common form of hair loss: male-pattern baldness. This is the type of hair loss that is passed on genetically to offspring from their mothers. Most often the recipients of this type of hair loss are men, but sometimes the gene can result in female hair loss.

While genetic baldness in men is identified by a receding hairline or balding crown, genetic hair loss in women is a bit different. In most cases, a woman will not lose her hair in spots only but will thin out evenly throughout the head. Sometimes, this thinning can be quite severe and result in the woman having to wear a wig to cover up her thinning tresses. While female hair loss almost never results in a completely bald head, it can be extreme enough to expose the scalp quite plainly.

For the woman facing this type of hair loss, there are a few hair loss treatment options that can be explored. They include shampoos, conditioners and topical treatments, such as Rogaine for women, which stimulate hair growth and prevent further hair loss; vitamin supplements; and stimulatory treatments such as massage and infra-red therapy. The most successful of these hair loss treatments are the topical treatments. While they are quite expensive, they produce the best results.

Hair loss due to chemical processes
No matter how healthy and strong your hair is today, you could experience severe hair loss after undergoing a harsh chemical process such as a perm or color. While almost all chemical hair fallout is due to operator error, the chance of it occurring is multiplied by chemical services that you perform on your hair at home. I’ve seen more than one case of female hair loss in clients who have bleached their hair at home, colored it over and then came to the salon for yet another bleaching. Not knowing this past history, the stylist used too strong a chemical, and the process resulted in hair loss.

Since most of these cases do not result in complete hair loss, the hair loss treatment options include protein treatments and other conditioning treatments to strengthen the remaining hair; a good hair cut that will remove most of the damage; and a gentle hair-care routine that will minimize further hair loss due to breakage. You should also refrain from using thermal styling tools and undergoing any further chemical procedures until the hair is completely grown out.

Hair loss due to stress
Cases of severe stress can literally cause handfuls of hair loss at a time. Women experiencing stressful conditions can experience female hair loss represented by thinning all over the head or in spots called alopecia areata. Alopecia areata means “Hair loss in spots or areas,” and can result in bald circular patches on one or more spots of the scalp. While this type of hair loss is alarming, it is not permanent. After the stress is removed, most sufferers of this type of hair loss regrow all of the hair that they lost.

In most cases, the hair loss treatment for stress-related hair loss is minimal. After ruling out other causes of hair loss, your doctor will likely recommend changes in your diet or ideas to help alleviate your stress. Keep in mind that it can take months for your hair to grow back even after the stressors have been eliminated.

Any type of extended illness or surgery can result in hair loss. Medications taken to combat certain types of illnesses can also cause your hair to become brittle and break or fall out altogether. The most identifiable type of hair loss is the loss associated with chemotherapy treatments. In most cases, this hair loss is complete and affects all areas of the body.
While there is little that can be done to prevent this type of hair loss or promote growth during illness, surgery or chemotherapy treatments, this type of female hair loss is also temporary. In most cases, full recovery of hair is made after the illness is over.

15 Simple Ways to Make Your Hair Grow Longer, Faster, According to Experts
|
Here’s a secret…a few years ago, I was under no pretense to listen to my hairstylist after a long day of TV watching or shooting footage. I was a fan of Sally O’Neill’s thoughts on YouTube, and I have all her videos playing on my phone playing that killer soundtrack to my hair splashing everywhere but the right way.
The problem became getting her to watch a video instead of recording it on her phone’s video player. So it gets boring after a while, and now they have everyone hooked to her video and I’m shut out.
If you’re one of those habitual video watchers, I was too.
Right?
Wrong.
Turns out that it’s hard for the old human to switch on their iPhone, and there’s a reason for that. It’s too easy to just leave the videos on the play, listen to them over and over, and it’s tedious to watch them without getting asked to sit down and watch them.
Instead, you should shift your phone to muted sound and your laptop when you don’t want to watch another video or to join the chat conversation in the background.
Keep your headphones and your phone turned to sleep mode, then sit down and watch your videos, either as they’re recorded on your phone, or a real-time video you’re having a good time with, or your favorite collection of videos on YouTube.
Once you start, and once you get used to it, you’ll see results pretty quickly. I record my videos on my iPhone just to talk through them while I’m wearing them and move them in and out of focus without cutting into the stream.
Here’s how you should go about it.
Choose your category
It’s the “silent” option that is instrumental in the magic of hair. In fact, because of the power of technology, new styles are just about to be unlocked now that’s faster than they have ever been before. I used to have an electric razor because I really hated it but now I can just use my phone’s camera and go against my body.

Hair loss reasons
|
The causes of hair loss can be different: hormones, hereditary predisposition, age, autoimmune diseases, infections, stress, smoking, diet, bad hair care habits, medications, environmental factors.
In addition to numerous causes, hereditary or androgenic alopecia is still the most common, accounting for as many as 95% of the causes of hair loss. Androgenic alopecia occurs in both sexes and usually begins between the ages of 18 and 25. It should be noted that in sick men the level of male sex hormones is within normal limits, while in a certain percentage of sick women there is a hormonal imbalance.
Also, inadequate diet (lack of vitamin A, zinc, iron, protein), smoking and exposure to stress lead to increased hair loss.
Certain medications (antibiotics, antihypertensives, antidepressants, contraceptives, gout medications…) affect hair loss.
Certain conditions in which the patient is in some period of his life can lead to increased hair loss, such as: intense emotional and physical stress, bacterial and viral infections accompanied by fever, postpartum condition.
It should be mentioned that the physiological growth of hair depends on the adequate functioning of the hair follicles. Hair growth includes three phases: anagen, catagen and telogen phase.
The anagen phase is the active phase during which hair grows. It lasts between 3–6 years. The catagen phase is a short phase, when hair growth gradually passes into a dormant phase. The telogen phase is the resting phase, during which the hair falls out and lasts for about 3 months.
On average, about 90% of hair is in the active phase, while about 10% is in the telogen phase. On average, there are between 100,000 and 150,000 hairs on the head, and it is normal for between 50 and 100 hairs to fall out daily. It is necessary to replace the number of fallen hairs with the same number of newly grown hairs, in order to maintain the same hair density.

introducing tree a new……
TressAnew has been carefully formulated to include three of the most potent 5-AR inhibitors found in nature…
To shut off this “hair-degrading enzyme” from converting your body’s natural testosterone into the balding hormone, DHT.
Plus, this formula includes a handful of other scientifically supported ingredients shown to support natural, long, stunning hair growth…
By supplying your hair the little-known vital nutrients it needs to grow thick, strong, and healthy…
I want to tell about some people, the women enjoying fruitful result….
#BUY NOW#
>Meet nisha
Now — I didn’t wake up with my 20-something’s hair…
But within a few weeks I started to notice changes that really boosted my confidence.
Instead of shedding in the shower…
I was only pulling out 5–10 strands… which is normal for any woman.
And I wasn’t seeing as many strands of hair in my brush.
For the first week or two I noticed the feel of my hair was improving…
But after week 4 it was like my hair growth reached a breakthrough…
I had more volume…
More thickness…
More shine…
And my hair was growing faster than it has in a long time.
The first few weeks my heart would still pound every time I’d wake up, shower, and look in the mirror just because I didn’t want to be disappointed.
But eventually I wasn’t scared anymore.
#NOW WE ARE TAKING ABOUT SECRET OF THIS PRODUCT
But before you make your decision…
Let me share a little bit more of what makes the ingredients inside of TressAnew… the world’s most powerful solution to support healthy, noticeable hair growth in as little as the next few days…
And begin to restore the natural growth-ability your hair had in the prime of your youth.You already learned about Fo-Ti…
And how it’s a potent 5-AR inhibitor…
Which is going to stop the conversion of testosterone to DHT…
Ultimately saving your luscious hair…
But we didn’t want to stop with just one herb to shut off 5-AR.
Remember…
5-AR is the REAL root cause of brittle, thin hair…
So we wanted to use every weapon found in nature to shut down this enzyme from having its unwelcome way with your hair.
Which is why we added two more 5-AR inhibitors from nature to shut down 5-AR fast…
#The First 5-AR Inhibitor Is Nettle Root
Nettle root is a natural herb first discovered in the Bronze Age…
And was actually used by Julius Caesar as an energy-boosting herb…
However new cutting-edge research now finds nettle root is a potent herb that not only blocks 5-AR from converting testosterone into DHT… 13
But also helps support faster hair growth.
Yet we didn’t want to stop there…
Along with Fo-Ti and nettle root…
We added another key ingredient to help combat years of built up DHT…
#Think Of It Like A DHT Detox! This Special Beauty Herb Is Called Saw Palmetto
aw palmetto was originally discovered by ancient South American tribes…
Has been used for all sorts of natural health remedies in dozens of different cultures…
And now studies show saw palmetto can naturally block DHT receptors so they can’t bind to your hair follicles… 14,15
#Meaning It Literally Stops The Root Cause Of
All Of Your Hair Problems Right In Its Tracks…
So you see…
We gave you the full trifecta of 5-AR inhibitors from nature…
And once you switch off 5-AR, and stop the conversion of testosterone to DHT…
That’s when the other ingredients I’m about to share can really work their hair-rejuvenating magic.
#So The Next Ingredient We Added To
TressAnew Is Horsetail…
Horsetail is an ancient herb used in Greco-Roman cultures for a number of wonderful health benefits, including the health of your hair…
This Unique Herb Contains Antioxidants And Silicon…
Both of which have been shown in multiple studies to support long, strong, and faster hair growth.
First — antioxidants help slow the aging of hair fibers…
So you can maintain a youthful glow with your hair…
Second — silicon has been shown in studies to maintain thick lustrous hair and increase brightness… 16,17,18
And while this is exciting new research, remember…
Horsetail can only be effective AFTER Fo-Ti, nettle root, and saw palmetto stop the conversion of 5-AR into DHT.
It’s blocking the conversion of 5-AR into DHT first…
That allows all of the other carefully selected hair-stimulating nutrients inside TressAnew to work unlike any other formula or vitamin you’ve tried in the past.
That’s why so many women are raving about this formula.
And you’re gonna be next.
Now, along with horsetail…
#We Added Another Crucial Yet
Overlooked Hair Support Mineral To
TressAnew Called Magnesium
According to a study published in the journal, Menopause Review…
Magnesium Is One Of The Most Vital Minerals For Your Hair… 19
See, calcium can build up inside hair follicles…
And when calcium builds up in the hair follicle, it clogs it…
But magnesium counteracts calcium residue that’s crusting up in the hair follicle…
Which helps your hair grow faster and easier.
As a bonus…
Magnesium makes DHT far less potent, smaller, and weaker. 20
And anything you can do to weaken DHT… the more youthful and lively hair you’ll grow.
Now to round out our unique hair-growth formula…
And to give you the most exciting results you’ve experienced with any sort of hair growth vitamin or supplement you’ve tried in the past…
We decided to add a full gamut of vitamins and minerals… shown in studies to support rapid hair growth.
We Call This Our
“Rapid Hair Growth Complex”
Which is kind of like a multivitamin for your hair…
One that provides you with every essential nutrient you need for fast-growing, thick, luscious hair…
And YES — We Even Included
Biotin In Our Formula…
And now that you have our 3 key ingredients to shut off 5-AR…
Biotin will work for you better than it ever has in the past…
Because you’ve finally put a stop to the DHT hormone from causing its unwanted affects on the appearance of your hair…
So your hair follicles can now absorb the biotin and other powerful nutrients inside TressAnew…
And grow, grow, GROW!

WHAT NEXT
Did you read my last post?
This is a continuation.
Now that we know it's great to let go, after letting what next? Do we simply let go with the hope that growth will follow freely? No.
Purposeful intentional action must follow to stimulate growth.
Let's backtrack to what my hairdresser said about trimming my hair not being the total solution to breakage. She mentioned that after trimming, my hair would have to undergo a rejuvenation process to stimulate and maintain healthy growth.
I believe it's the same way in our lives. When we let go of a bad habit, we have to embrace and put a new habit in place. When we let go of past hurt we have to heal, set better boundaries and be intentional about growth.
When we don't do either of those things after letting go, we risk falling into the same pattern or a worse pattern of failure or hurt.
“...Now when the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, it roams through waterless (dry, arid) places in search of rest, but it does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it arrives, it finds the place unoccupied, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and make their home there. And the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first. So will it also be with this wicked generation?”
Matthew 12:43-45 AMP
It is of utmost necessity that when we get rid of a bad habit, thought or let go of a bad friend or bad memory we must consciously imbibe good habits, think positive thoughts, make good friends and create new good memories because our mind can't tolerate emptiness. It has to be filled with something; good or bad. It is then left to us to choose what we fill our minds and lives with.
Choose well; it pays handsomely.
By the way, my hair begins its rejuvenation process next week and I'll be back with growth and length retention testimonies soon.

Our hair coloring correction specialists in our Las Vegas hair salon suggest you bring along pictures of exactly what it is you are hoping to achieve. This helps to ensure that there are no miss communication and helps to avoid confusion.
REMOVING UNWANTED TONES OR SHADES IN HAIR
Hair color if not used correctly can quite easily go wrong and often results in unwanted orange or brassy tones. Your highlights may have turned out too yellow, or you may have dark bands of hair color that have overlapped causing varying degrees of color throughout your hair.
We highly recommend that you do not try and fix your hair coloring problems yourself by applying a box dye over the top as you may in fact make the problem worse. Often hair color problems will require removing color from some sections while adding it to others.

MY HAIR COLOR IS TOO LIGHT
If your hair color has turned out a lighter shade than you had hoped for, it is not as simple as applying a new shade over the top. If you want to change the depth of your hair color we will help you achieve your desired look.
This might be with a full head color application or by adding some darker tones with highlights throughout your hair. Our talented team of hair color correction of Las Vegas experts will advise you on what is the best route for you to take.
IMPROVING DRY & DAMAGED COLORED HAIR
Has your hair become dry or brittle? At our hair salon in Vegas we can come up with a plan to help repair bleach damaged or sun damaged hair by restoring moisture that has been lost by over processing.
Help protect your hair during the hair coloring process with a hair treatment that can be added directly into the mixing bowl! We offer Olaplex hair treatments that target weaker parts of the hair to strengthen it, reconstructing the weaker bonds.

TressAnew Hair Supplement Preferred By ||World Best Scientists||
October 11, 2021
What Is TressAnew:
BUY NOW
TressAnew is a new hair extension that aims to help people overcome all the issues related to hair loss. It is a formula made of natural extracts that promise to deliver results quickly.
TressAnew is carefully designed to incorporate the strongest 5-AR inhibitors found in nature…
Blocking this “hair growth enzyme” from converting your body’s natural testosterone into a balding hormone, DHT.
Also, this formula includes a handful of other scientifically supported ingredients that have been shown to support natural, long, and amazing hair growth by giving your hair the essential nutrients it needs to grow strong, strong, and healthy.
Look around you and you will see that the appearance of the people around you is influenced by today’s busy lifestyle. Hair loss has become a major problem for men and women of all ages.
Natural hair growth and hair loss are problems we all face. Hair growth has led many people to experience low self-esteem, which is a bad thing because many hair remedies seem ineffective.
Issued by Vita Balance in the United States. It is made using natural ingredients.
It contains a variety of nutrients and vitamins known to promote natural and healthy hair growth. The supplement was formerly known as Folligen but was renamed in 2018 to make it very different.
It works by promoting natural hair growth to promote strong and healthy hair growth. The natural ingredients used to make it not only promote hair growth but also nourish the scalp.
Improved hair growth is accompanied by increased lightness and volume. The manufacturer is quick to point out that, while this supplement is excellent for promoting hair growth, the effects do not appear overnight.
How does TressANew work?
The new formula contains vitamins, minerals, and various extracts of herbs. All the ingredients used to make them known to be important for natural hair growth.
Regular use of this supplement helps to slow down the weight loss process while promoting natural hair growth. It should be noted that this is not a prescription drug and can be used by anyone who wants to increase hair growth.
Although this formula is effective, it will not prevent hair loss overnight. When it starts to work, it will promote natural hair growth and nourish the health of your skin.
Ingredients used to make TressAnew:
The best way to test the effectiveness of this product is to research the ingredients used to make it.
Understanding the ingredients used and how each works to reverse hair loss will help you decide if this product is right for you.
Examine the list of ingredients carefully to measure the therapeutic benefits offered by each person, and be sure to compare the list with other similar products. TressAnew is distinguished by the fact that its ingredients are completely natural.
Each ingredient in this formula is supported by numerous scientific evidence showing its effect on the hair growth process. TressAnew contains the following ingredients
Fo-Ti:
The remedy comes from China, where it is used to increase volume and shine in women’s hair. Fo-Ti is a powerful 5-AR blocker. In addition, it is said to counteract the androgenic effects of DHT. Hair loss is one of those androgenic effects.
Saw Palmetto:
Saw Palmetto is a type of palm. It applies to a variety of health problems. Recent research shows that saw palmetto can naturally block DHT receptors, preventing them from binding to your hair follicles.
Horsetail:
Horsetail is a traditional medicine used for a variety of health benefits, including hair health, in Greek and Roman culture. This kind of medicine contains a high concentration of antioxidants and silicon. Numerous studies have shown that this powerful duo promotes long, strong, and fast hair growth. First, antioxidants help to reduce hair aging.
As a result, you can keep your hair fresh. As a result, research has shown that silicon helps keep hair thick, graceful while also enhancing shine. Horsetail is only useful until Fo-Ti, the root of nettle, and saw palmetto stop the conversion of 5-AR to DHT.
It only manages to prevent the conversion of 5-AR to DH. Because of this, it allows some of the hair nutrients in TressAnew to work more efficiently.
Magnesium:
Calcium can accumulate inside the hair follicles, causing the follicle to close. On the other hand, Magnesium promotes faster and easier hair growth by resisting the calcium residues that accumulate in the hair follicles.
DHT energy, size, and strength are also reduced by magnesium.
Biotin:
Another ingredient in TressAnew is biotin. Biotin, also known as vitamin H, is essential for the health of your nails, skin, and hair. People with biotin deficiency will develop red skin rashes and experience hair loss.
Biotin deficiency is rare because the biotin found in food is sufficient to provide the body with various health benefits. Foods high in biotin include:
- Egg yolk
- Soybeans
- Mushrooms
- Bananas
- Grain (whole)
If you feel that the amount of biotin you are getting from your diet is not enough, you can take TressAnew to help increase the amount available
TressAnew Price and Where to Buy:
TressAnew has received many positive reviews from users across the United States since its first release. It is for this reason that many women choose to order multiple bottles at the same time to ensure that they do not miss out on the many benefits it offers.
TressAnew is only available on the official website and comes with a variety of packages. Available packages, and their prices, are listed below.
||BUY From Their Offical Website||

Packing:
TressThe new food add-on is packed in a portable bottle with a product logo displayed in bold. You can expect to get 60 capsules made with a reliable hair support formula as part of the content.

Performance:

Everyone who has taken TressAnew for three straight months, as instructed, has nothing but good things to say.
TressAnew is as good as it gets. Still, you should consult your doctor, especially if you have other health problems. This way, your doctor will be able to tell you if it is safe for you to start taking this pill.

7 Tips to get strong and healthy shiny hair
A hair care routine is as important as any fitness routine or skincare routine because with age and with exposure to sun ☀️ ,pollution our hair get thin and damaged.in some cases even hair fall might start to happen therefore i feel a hair care regime is extremely necessary.so here are 7 tips to get strong healthy and shiny hair .
Step 1:oiling =i try to oil my hair at least twice a week .oil which ever is available i use that for me personally.its not necessary to use any specific brand hair oil . I often use simple coconut oil or even olive 🫒oil. In fact, there is a mixture that you can prepare at home which is by taking almond oil+olive oil in equal quantity and mixing them well .you can either apply overnight or apply 45 min to 1 hour before taking a shower.
Step 2:Shampooing =applying shampoo daily weak your hair .i prefer to shampoo your hair at least 2–3times per week.it also depends on the kind of hair you have in order to determine the frequency of hair wash you may require in a week.PRO TIP:untangle your hair before shampooing .i prefer to use one product and try it for at least two ✌️ month to asses its potential and result.remember to make sure that shampoo is sulphate free.
Step3:Conditioning=after shampooing,we will use a conditioner .make sure that the conditioner is applied only on the hair and not at all on the scalp.you may applying mid way and go toward the tip of the hair .take a little bit of conditioner and rub it on your palm ✋ and then apply on your hair.keep the conditioner on your hair at least 5 min and then wash it with normal water 💦 .
Step 4:Drying=we do not need to apply any force in order to dry them out. we should let it dry naturally.do not rush into drying them.do not blow dryer unless its extremely urgent or necessary.once you are done washing your hair gently using a microfibre towel to wrap around the hair and let the hair dry naturally.
Step 5:Protection=apply hair serum on partially wet hair. take a few drop and rub it on you hands and then gently massage your hair with it .apply the serum on your hair and not on your root or scalp .
Step 6:Untangling =use a wooden comb with big and fat bristles.gently comb your hair after they have dried and don’t use the comb on wet hair.
Step 7:Repairing=use hair mask 2–3times in a month .incase of very dry and damaged hair use twice a week .you can use home made mask as well as market products.
BONUS TIPS: WARM THE OIL A LITTLE BEFORE APPLYING IT WILL HELP THE BLOOD CIRCULATION AND ABSORPTION OF THE NUTRIENT .SO START USING WARM OIL AND DO MASSAGE ON SCALP.

You've Heard Of Combination Skin, But What About Combination Hair? : Health IKnow
|
For the most part, we pretty much understand the sheer complexity of the skin. Read: Everybody’s skin reacts differently to products and requires unique routines. Not to mention, people can even have competing needs for different areas of their skin — some may appear oilier on the forehead, for instance, yet drier under the eyes. Others are generally acne-prone with some sensitivity gracing their cheeks. I digress — and continue to hunt down the most foolproof products for my finicky combination skin.
The same can be said of your hair, of course. The variables that make up our unique locks are pretty vast, meaning there’s a lot to consider when crafting up hair care — and often people can end up pretty confused about what their specific treatment plan should be. This is particularly the case with combination hair, as the type of hair comes with conflicting issues when you travel from root to tip.
In This Article
What is combination hair?
Combination hair is a hybrid of sorts. Like combination skin, this moniker refers to a mane that’s oily in some places, drier in others. Oftentimes, people may discover it’s their roots that run oily, the ends of their hair parched dry — that’s because your scalp type can totally differ from your hair type (but more on that in a moment).
Advertisement
What causes it?
Here are some of the most common culprits.
1. Scalp type.
We repeat: Your scalp is your skin, and like the pores anywhere else on your body, some people’s follicles can accrue more oil than others (due to genetics, hormone fluctuations, or what have you), even if the length of their hair remains dry (from aging, daily heat styling, or environmental aggressors). And there you have it: combination hair.
2. Hair type.
Your hair type totally plays a role here, specifically if you have curls. See, the sebum from your scalp travels down the hair shaft all the way to the tips — for those with a straighter hair texture, this process tends to happen more quickly (as there is a clearer path). For those with curls, the traveling takes longer with all the twists and turns. As a result, folks with curls may have an oily scalp with drier lengths — aka, combination hair.
Advertisement
3. Over-washing.
Washing too much (or using a harsh shampoo) strips the natural oils on your scalp and tricks it into thinking it’s dry, so it produces even more oil to compensate. It then turns into a vicious cycle: With oil on overdrive, you may want to wash even more to clear the grease — but this can only lead to more sebum production and leave your lengths thirsty, to boot.
The perfect wash schedule differs for everyone (see here for our full guide to shampooing), but you can always snag a sulfate-free shampoo to avoid messing with your scalp’s natural balance. These picks are formulated specifically for oily roots.
4. Stress.
Just like how stress can lead to excess oil and clogged pores on the face, an uptick in stress can lead to a greasy scalp.
Take it from board-certified dermatologist Hadley King, M.D.: “The oil follicles on the scalp are controlled in similar ways to the oil follicles on our face and other areas like the neck, chest, and upper back,” she once told mbg. “So, factors like stress that may increase oil production on our face may also increase oil production on our scalp.”

How to care for combination hair.
Combination hair becomes a slight predicament when choosing hair care formulas to fill your arsenal. If your hair requires different plans of action (Say: clarifying, cleansing options for balancing oil; hydrating, nourishing ingredients to replenish dry strands), how can you approach both concerns without piling on products?
Much like treating combination skin, caring for this hair type is a delicate dance. Here are six expert-backed ways to strike the perfect balance:
1. Switch up your shampoo and conditioner.
Shampoos and conditioners typically come as a set (a moisturizing shampoo comes with an equally nutrient-dense partner, a volumizing option with a featherweight conditioner), but who says you can’t mix and match? It’s similar to how you might slather on an oil-absorbing product on your T-zone, coating drier portions of your face with denser formulas: Select a cleansing, purifying shampoo to balance an oily scalp (here are our favorites), along with a hydrating conditioner to work into those ends (our go-to’s here).
Advertisement
2. Try a scalp scrub.
Another tip to rebalance oil and lift gunk: Throw a scalp scrub into the rotation. These come in either physical or chemical formulas, but the end result is the same — sloughing dead skin cells, drawing oil from the follicles, and dissolving buildup.
Apply them onto your scalp pre-shampoo, massage them into the skin, rinse and follow with your hydrating products (you don’t want to strip the scalp completely of its natural oils, as it can lead to dryness and flakes). Find our favorite scrubs here.
3. Use a hydrating leave-in on the ends.
To approach those more brittle ends, try coating them in a leave-in conditioner to seal in moisture post-wash (these are the best options for dry hair, in our humble opinion). “These conditioners are normally light lotions, creams, or liquids,” says hair consultant and trichologist Sarah Roberts about different types of conditioners. “Leave-in sprays are also effective; they are easy to apply to the ends of hair that need special attention and protection for retaining length.”
That said, you can totally target the nozzle where your strands need a little more love, coaxing some life into dull and dry ends.
4. Do an ACV rinse.
“Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid and alpha-hydroxy acids, which can help degrease and cleanse the skin,” board-certified dermatologist Morgan Rabach, M.D., and co-founder of LM Medical NYC, shares about ACV’s hair benefits. Plus, the solution simultaneously manages frizz and promotes shine (providing a bit more oomph to those lifeless ends).
How so? Well, frizz and dull hair is the result of raised cuticles. Your cuticles rise up due to a more alkaline pH, and a product with a lower pH (hello, apple cider vinegar) can help seal the cuticle back down. See exactly how to do an ACV rinse here.
5. Limit heat styling.
Hot tools can dry out the strands and cause damage — use them too often, and you may find your ends extra brittle and rough. If you can, try to limit your heat styling and give your strands a break. Alicia Miller, national master trainer for Davines North America, agrees: “Giving our hair and scalp time to reset and rest increases overall appearance and health.”
And when you do reach for the hot tools, make sure to always use a solid heat protectant: Not only do these help absorb the damage that comes with heat, but they can also hydrate the hair and infuse the strand with nutrients. Check out our favorites, here.
6. Snip dry ends.
If you condition and hydrate your ends to no avail, it may be time to start anew. At a certain point, damaged ends are irreparable — the only way to truly “mend” the dry wisps is to trim off the dead weight. Once you cut those dry ends and properly care for your inches with the methods above, your combination hair troubles may subside.
The takeaway.
Combination hair is quite common (it simply refers to some parts of your hair that are oilier than others), but it’s not so difficult to treat. All it takes is being a bit more choosy with your products and playing with different combinations to care for both concerns.

How To Care Diva Divine Weave Hair Extensions
|
Weave Hair: A Sew-In Hair Extension.
Weave hair extensions are one type of hair extension that is attached to the braided hair with sew-in. They are generally gaining popularity because of their extraordinary hair comfort, versatility, and volume. Most people think weave hair is bad but no they are not inferior. Weave hair is simple to manage once it is sewn in the hair as they are expected to last more than 6- 12 weeks.
Weave hair is a great hair extension, but giving it the best possible treatment will make it even better and more attractive to wear. To achieve beautiful hair quality, volume, and style, it’s critical to keep hair extensions in tip-top shape. Taking good care of weave hair will also help it last longer. Learn how to take care of weave hair in the right way:
1. Apply Chemical-Free Hair Volume Shampoo
Increase hair volume by using hair volume shampoo.
Just like your natural hair, it is important to give the same carer to your weave hair. Since weave hair is also made up of natural hair using a chemical hair shampoo can damage your hair. Make sure you grab the sulfate-free hair volume shampoo to increase hair volume, style, and texture. It helps to remove oils and dirt effectively.
2. Regularly Condition You Weave Hair
Conditioning your weave hair can boost your hair volume, style, and texture.
It is essential to condition your weave hair to achieve a voluminous hair pattern like curls and waves. This can also detangle your hair strands to achieve a refined hair pattern. Moreover, conditioning can moisturize your hair preventing it from hair dryness and all.
3. Minimize Heating Tools
Avoid using heat products to recreate your hair healthy.
Give a note; always try to minimize the usage of heating tools to avoid hair damage like frizzing, split ends, and baldness. Heat is not a friend with your hair be its hair extensions and natural hair. Healthy hair can be easily achieved without using heat products.
Follow these tips to achieve a luxurious hairstyle in a shorter time range. This can really boost your durability of weave hair for many months and years.

The chair is cool and slick against my legs, and the barber’s cape is snug at my neck. A woman moves behind me, her scissors whispering in my ear, her hands lifting and separating and sentencing to death. Looking down at my front, I can see bits of myself scattered all around. I am thirteen years old, and the floor is thick with inches and inches.
Haircuts are like reinvention, a form of rebirth, the shedding of old skin, a fresh start. What other parts of us can we trim down to the quick and feel nothing? What other elements of your body are so easily molded?
I close my eyes and let the shush of this minor surgery radiate through me.

My brother is twelve when he begins refusing to allow my father to shave his head down to a military-grade buzzcut every three weeks. Instead, he goes to a barber and cultivates a fade with a long bit on top. He uses gel and water over the bathroom sink.
Sometimes he lets it grow out too long, sticking out thick and wild, and, once he begins to grow scruff on his chin, I miss the little boy with the nearly bald head.
******
Hairspray hangs thick and heavy in the air, my friend brandishing the can like a weapon of war. She lays siege on my head, curling, pinning, teasing.
Am I pretty yet? I wonder. Is it enough?

“Please don’t cut your hair.” My sister smiles conspiratorially, the counsel directed toward her falling on uninterested ears — she would never cut it anyways.
Naomi is five foot nine and has hair that falls all the way to her waist, heavy and thick. She has skilled hands, the type that can braid and twist and draw order out of messy tangles. She traces ancient patterns passed on by women and men through time — in, out, over, under. Weaver.

I am about five minutes from being high off the fumes radiating from the ends of my hair, but the girl who is watching my foils just taps her long fingernails against them with a slight tilt of her head. Her name is Kam The Hair School Student, and I am the first balayage she has ever done.
I watch Kam through the mirror’s reflections as she fidgets behind me. Her hair is short and curly and violently purple, and her hands are gentle from inexperience and hesitancy as they part and segment and divide. In the first hour of my treatment, we had gotten all the small, easy questions out of the way. Are you from Pocatello? No, but I live here with my brother. What made you want to get into cosmetology? It’s always been what I’m best at. What is our favorite color you’ve ever had your hair? Green.
I forgive her for the fumes when the foils come off and the heady perfume of toner replaces the sharp bite of the bleach, and then I forgive her again when my hair is rinsed and dry and the blend from brown to blonde is as smooth as melted chocolate.
******
As I get older, I dance along the edges of extremes, like shuffling around a poolside without ever getting wet. Shave it on the sides and dye it blonde. Grow it out until it brushes my hips and perm it into tight curls. Instead of doing any of these things, I settle for the comfortable lull of the middle ground and natural locks, afraid of judgment, of eyes, of hmm I think I liked your hair better before.
But what if…?
In the end, I peel myself back at the scalp only to find that I am wholly constructed of insecurities and split ends.
******
My mother weighs the cardboard box in her palm, an old towel wrapped around her shoulders. The box bears a smoldering woman; her partially concealed face is airbrushed smooth and her hair is the color of honey.
“I think it’s going to be too light Mama,” I tell her. I am wearing cheap plastic gloves that stretch with me as I flex my fingers. She turns over the box in her hand again, studying the back.
“It’s cheap,” she counters with a sigh, “I don’t think it will be light enough.”
My mother has been a blonde until her first pregnancy when her hair had dropped to a darker shade, a sun-kissed brown. The return to blonde must constitute a return to form for her. I have seen her eyes trace old pictures, and I imagine that looking at them she saw separate selves — the carefree young girl, the tired mother.
I have never seen my mother with blonde hair, except for these pictures. For some reason, the idea of it manifesting in front of me was disturbing in a vague sort of way.
Hours and rinses and a blow dryer later my mother’s hair is barely even tinted. She mutters in disgust, frustrated by the lack of results and the validation of her suspicions, but inside I harbor secret relief.
*********
Samson with his powerful tresses, the Goose Girl with her golden plaits, shaped wigs powdered in flour, curls laid in wax, carefully coiffed beehives, scalps as war treasures. There is this undefinable mystic surrounding our hair, this part of us that is not us, this part that we can dye and bleach and cut and weave. I run my fingers through my own mane, examining the textured mix of coarse and fine, and wonder if these strands are the source of some secret power for me. Maybe if I let it grow down past my toes a young prince will climb my braids to the top of my tower.
***********
The stylist smiles and swivels me around. “What do you think?”
I am thirteen years old, and I look at myself in the mirror and see a stranger. She looks back at me, her hair a tight crop around the sides, her bangs falling across her face in a bold swoop. A pixie cut, one I picked from the pages of a fashion magazine. I reach up and watch the stranger in the mirror mimic my movements, her hand, my hand, brushing her bare neck, tracing the prickling line where the hair ends.
I stare and stare, and the stylist nods behind me, her electric-blue bob nodding with her. “It suits you.”

“Hair Loss”
|
No — it’s got nothing to do with their genes. You see…
👇This is the serious part 👇
Your body goes through various changes as you get older, and your hair is no exception. Over time, the color and texture of your hair will naturally change. It takes extra care to keep your hair looking beautiful as you get older.
Protein strands make up hair. A single strand of hair can last anywhere from two to seven years in typical conditions. Hair grows about 0.5 inches per month and six inches per year on average. Age, food, genetics, and overall health all influence how quickly it grows and how healthy it is.
Hair has a shorter life cycle as it matures, with shorter, finer hair falling out. New finer hair is frequently used to replace this hair. However, nearly everyone has some hair loss as they age. Hair loss affects both men and women as they age for a variety of causes, including inherited features, endocrine diseases, thyroid disorders, decreased hormonal support, and nutritional inadequacies. As women hit their 40s, menopause becomes a major factor. Sex hormones that can promote follicular fibers are reduced, and testosterone often has a minor advantage. Some hair follicles stop producing new hair entirely as a result of aging and environmental factors.
As you get older, your hair’s natural hue changes as well. Pigment cells quit producing pigment, and your previously thick, chestnut hair thins out, fines, and grays out. What else do you have to do but make an appointment with your stylist for a color? Then there’s the issue of hair color chemicals causing harm. It’s enough to make anyone feel self-conscious about their hair.
😊But there is reason to be optimistic!😊
You can take actions to counteract these natural changes both before and after menopause.
some actions should be avoided
Tips to love your hair at any age :
1. Wash less frequently
How often you wash your hair depends on your hair type. But regardless of your hair type, in general, washing too often can cause your hair to become dry and brittle. Don’t overdo it with shampoo, but you should wash your scalp at least twice a week. Use the shampoo that is specified for your specific hair type: normal, oily, or dry.
2. Don’t forget conditioners and volumizers
Applying conditioner after shampooing is essential to maintaining healthy curls. Conditioner is an important step in hair care that adds moisture to replenish hair’s shine and natural oils lost during shampooing. And the volume enhancers act as a splint to strengthen each strand of hair and add volume to each strand.
3. Choose the right products
If you decide to color your locks, the best thing you can do is choose a stylist to color your hair. A professional can help you determine the safest color for your hair type and can offer advice on shampoos, conditioners, and other hair products specifically designed for colored hair.
It is also advisable to avoid daily styling with heat, such as hairdryers, curling irons, and straighteners. We all want to do our best, but if you skip using hot styling tools for a day or two a week, you can bounce back from the damage they cause.
If you need to use heat styling products, apply a heat protectant to the hair before use. A heat shield forms a protective layer between heated styling products and hair and adds moisture to protect against damage during heat styling.
4. Eat a complete, protein-rich diet
You can’t control healthy curls because of genetics or age, but you can help your hair by following a healthy diet. The old saying goes “you are what you eat” and that applies when it comes to your hair. Dr. Bergfeld says first, make sure you eat enough in general. “As you get older, you eat smaller portions because your flavor levels drop and you become nutrient deficient.” She says, “When a person says, ‘Eat a healthy diet,’ they are on a restricted diet.” Take a variety of foods in your diet.
On the other side, you have to avoid this ;
1) Stress
Stress puts pressure on your system. It puts your body into “survival mode” where it rations fuel and energy to support its most important functions. As you can imagine, hair ranks last on the priority list.
Each hair follicle goes through phases of growth and rest. A stressed body pushes hair from the growth phase to the resting phase. Dormant hair eventually falls out. You may find that your hair begins to appear around 3 months after a very stressful event, and it can take 3 to 6 months.
But stress-related hair loss won’t make you bald. Once the stress has passed, most people will grow back 3 to 6 months later. Depending on the length of your hair, it can take 12 to 18 months to correct itself.
2) Dieting
A crash diet can have two negative effects on your hair. First, your body perceives rapid weight loss as a stressful event — it thinks you’re starving! Second, it can mean that your body is not getting the nutrients your body needs to grow healthy hair. In times of stress or lack of nutrients, hair comes first. These two factors are the reason many women with eating disorders experience hair loss.
Stress hair loss will correct itself over time, however, if you are protein or vitamin deficient it can limit hair growth. It can also change the look of the hair, making it drier, duller, and more prone to breakage.
To prevent hair loss, take a slow and steady approach to lose weight. The Mayo Clinic recommends losing 1/2 to 2 pounds per week. Also, make sure you have a balanced diet with protein, iron, zinc, niacin, and fatty acids.
One of the best Keto diets at the moment can be found here.
3) Hormonal changes
Whether you’ve stopped taking the pill or have had a baby, hormonal changes can affect hair growth. In particular, higher levels of estrogen make your hair thicker and fuller. When estrogen levels drop, hair falls out. Fortunately, hair loss should stop when your body adjusts to your new estrogen levels.
Finally, some products have proven their effectiveness in preventing hair loss, they can be recommended and validated by your doctor.
this product is strongly recommended and does not present any contraindications
hope this article has been beneficial for you and your hair loss will be a thing of the past.

If You’ve Never Heard of Knotless Braids, It’s Time to Catch Up : Life Style Big News
|
When it comes to braiding my hair, I always ask the stylist to add extensions. For years, I’ve worn unique braided hairstyles created by knotting colorful, long braiding extensions to my natural hair. And while I love braids, there’s a downside: the knots created to secure the extension can be tricky to remove. That’s why my stylist recently suggested I try knotless braids, and let’s just say, I won’t be going back to regular box braids anytime soon. Knotless braids have become a trending braiding technique, and I’m still wondering why I didn’t catch on earlier.
Anyways, by now you’re probably wondering, “What’s the difference between regular braids and knotless braids?” Well, firstly, they’re knotless — okay, you probably guessed that. So we’ll let Susan Oludele, celebrity hairstylist and founder of Hair by Susy, explain further.
“Knotless braids look natural and effortless,” says Oludele. “With regular box braids, you can tell extension has been used because of the knot at the beginning.”
She adds that the major difference is knotless braids are created using the feed-in method, which involves adding braiding hair to the natural hair as you go along, as opposed to the regular braiding technique where the hair extension is knotted to the hair at the beginning. Aside from that, knotless braids are pretty seamless, I personally love the style because I don’t have bulges of hair stemming from the scalp, instead, I have flat smooth roots.

Why Are Knotless Braids a Good Protective Style?
Fall is the time of year to start thinking about protective styles as the cold weather can be particularly harsh on natural hair. “Knotless braids are a great protective style as they help to improve hair growth by protecting the hair strands,” says Oludele. “It’s also very easy to moisturize your scalp and keep the hair hydrated while wearing the braids.”
If your last experience of braiding your hair left you with memories of being up all night from the excruciating pain caused by the tension of the braids on your scalp, you’ll be pleased to know that knotless braids have a lot less tension on the scalp, which means a lot less pain. “Installing knotless braids involves minimal pulling at the root which means less breakage and more comfort,” adds Sabrina Rowe, celebrity hairstylist and founder of Ntrl by Sabs.
How Long Does It Take to Install Knotless Braids?
Although knotless braids are a painless protective style, you might find the amount of time it takes to install them a bit of a pain. According to Rowe, installing a full head of braids takes an average of five hours, but this all depends on the stylist and the size and length of your braids.
What Is the Best Way to Prepare Your Hair Before Installing Knotless Braids?
Deep cleaning your hair is paramount to remove any buildup before your braid service. Failure to wash your hair before braiding can cause an unbearably itchy scalp and decrease the life span of the braids. “An apple cider vinegar rinse is a wonderful treatment to get the hair and scalp ready for your appointment,” says Rowe.
Both stylists agree that it’s also important to blow dry your hair before braiding so it’s stretched and detangled — this helps to speed up the process so the stylist can get right into braiding the hair, says Rowe.
What’s the Best Way to Maintain Knotless Braids?
After sitting still for five hours to have your hair braided, you’ll definitely want the style to last. It’s important to make sure your hair is getting enough moisture to avoid breakage. There’s no point rocking a protective style and neglecting your natural hair — moisture is crucial, especially during the fall. Oludele recommends greasing the scalp with Ouee Hair Oil, a product she created to revitalize hair follicles, stimulate the scalp and promote hair growth.
Another way to prolong the life of your braids is to cover your head at night. “Keeping your hair in a silk or satin scarf or bonnet while you sleep helps to prevent frizz and pulling,” says Rowe.

How Do You Wash Knotless Braids?
When it comes to washing knotless braids, you’re going to want to take your time and work through sections of the hair gently. Hurriedly washing the braids and rubbing them together will cause them to frizz up and possibly unravel. To make sure your knotless braids don’t turn into a frizz ball as you wash them, Oludele recommends lathering shampoo and conditioner through the hair in a downward motion to keep the braids smooth.
The products you use to wash your knotless braids are also important. Avoid using shampoos that have a strong scent because the scent will linger on the braids after the shampoo has been washed out.
“I love using my NTRL by Sabs Shampoo and Conditioner Bars to wash knotless braids,” says Rowe. “The bars are long-lasting and can be applied directly on the scalp and hair without building up in the braids. Liquid shampoos can be messy and hard to completely rinse out of braids.”
How Often Should You Wash Knotless Braids?
On average, most stylists recommend washing your knotless braids once or twice a month. However, if you work out often and have an oily or dandruff-prone scalp, Rowe suggests washing your hair more frequently. “It is important to mention that the more often you wash, the more prone your roots and braids will be to frizz,” says the stylist. “So as long as you know what you’re getting into you can wash at your own discretion.”
How Long Do Knotless Braids Last?
With proper care, knotless braids can last up to two months, and it’s not advised to keep them longer than that, says Rowe. Knotless braids tend to get frizzier a lot faster than regular braids as they expose more natural hair at the root. So if you’re looking for a protective style that can last longer than two months, regular box braids are a better option.
How do you know when the braids are coming to the end of their style-span? “When your roots are exposed and they require a lot of touching up for them to look neat you’re coming to the end of the road,” says Rowe. “If the braids begin to feel heavy on your new hair growth, that’s also a sign to take them out.”
How Do You Remove Knotless Braids?
As great as knotless braids look, be assured that it’s going to take you a couple of hours to remove them. Both Oludele and Rowe say using a tail comb to remove knotless braids makes the process a lot easier and quicker.
“I start at the bottom of the braids and use my comb to loosen them, working my way up the hair to remove them safely,” says Rowe. Oludele adds that using a tail comb helps to quickly unravel the braids.
How Much Do Knotless Braids Cost to Install?
On average, the cost of knotless braids start from $250. However, this depends entirely on your stylists’ level of experience, the type of hair you are installing and your location.

3 Ways to Style Wigs with Bangs. 1. Side Swept Bangs
|
New styles and new trends of wigs will be interesting. Whether it’s layered, feather out, a bob cut, shoulder-length, or bangs — you can become very charming because of them. But to be honest, changing your wigs look or wearing a wig with a different style, like bangs, maybe a little difficult. Although having bangs on wigs can give great help to eliminate the need for a lace front and help to modify the face, because the appearances of most women wave wigs or smooth straight wigs look very different, it can get a little hard on how to style them the best way for your personal and unique features. So we’re going to talk about all the topics about bangs, and some ways you can design them to get the sexiest look and improve your self-confidence! Are you ready?
1. Side Swept Bangs
A side-swept look is so flattering that it is very popular with younger people and punk rockers. Because it makes you look wild, funny, and free and lets you stand out in the crowd. To achieve this look, you just have to sweep the bangs to the side, fix them in place, straighten or comb them to the side, apply a styling cream and you’re done!
2. Straight Bangs
Straighten bangs are also a very charming bangs style. It makes the appearance of girls look very cute and gentle and helps add a whole new style to your look. To get this classic look, you need to sweep your bangs to the side with a wig comb while aiming a dryer with a diffuser downwards onto your new bangs & combing them through in a downwards motion once more. After this is done, you can add some wig hair spray or styling cream to help hold them in place. This will prevent your hairstyle from getting messy when you are moving or when you are outside in windy weather.
3. Curtain Bangs
Finally, let’s talk about curtain bangs. This style can help you shape your face, make your facial features look more smooth, and ultimately make the look more pleasing. This look is also very easy to get. All you need to do is simply part your bangs in the center or where you wish and sweep each half to its own side to create a certain effect. You can separate them evenly or unevenly depending on the style you want. After that, apply a styling cream to help hold them into place. Do you think this method is simple and fun?

Why Guys And Their Barbers Are A Thing.

Why Guys And Their Barbers Are A Thing.
There are many types of relationships men have in their lifetime. There are the intimate connections they have with their families and loved ones. The manageable ones with their coworkers, and of course the wild ones with their friends. None of those are as unique as the one with their barber.
Here’s the deal. Barbers be out there changing lives. A clean haircut is one of the few things men put effort into when in comes to their appearance. You can come in looking like some grubby guy and within the next 30 minutes leave as a god. When you first sit down in that chair, you are in a vulnerable spot. There is this degree of trust between you and your barber. Styling your hair is not the only service they provide though.
Barbers and bartenders are of the same profession. You talk about anything and everything with them. Then there are those occasions where you get unexpectedly deep. Barbershops are a place of conversation. In fact Lebron has a show held inside a barbershop where guests discuss topics ranging from sports, music, to life itself. It’s even called The Shop. Clever right? Not really. The great thing though is what is said at the shop, stays at the shop.
Finding the right barber is a journey unto itself. There are many talented stylists who can give you a cut just by showing them a picture you found on Instagram. So does it matter which one you go to? Yes it does. You have several factors to consider such as price, availability, style, and even the overall vibe. The right spot should hit all of those bases all while making you feel comfortable.
Once you find a barber you enjoy going to, it is reassuring that you get to leave with this new level of confidence. Become a regular and they get a greater understanding of your hair, your features, and sometimes even your schedule. This helps immensely with timing for a night out or for those big events.
Getting to the right barber may include a few bad haircuts here and there. Of course once you get to the right one they will fix you up. Start by asking people that you know of where they go, especially if you like their hairstyle. A great indicator is a barber that you engage with positively. More specifically, one that makes sure you get a style fit for you. Try going to someone else and if you feel it’s not as crisp that’s another sign. If that is the case, head on back and get a fresh one. However, be prepared when they ask where else you went to because somehow they just know.

My Hair Journey

My Hair Journey
2013
Fast-forward to 2013. I disliked my hair. I had no sense of haircare, so my hair got over-processed over time, and ‘stopped growing’. I then ventured into a relaxed hair journey, as my hair was completely ‘fried’. I stretched my relaxers out, and deep conditioned my hair. All to no avail. I made some progress (compare February 2013 to August 2013), however, the more my hair grew, the more it fell out. The damage could not be undone. Rather than getting a hair cut, I kept ‘trying’ to grow my hair.
2014
I wore my hair in buns in 2014. There was a massive gap at the back (from breakage in my crown), and so I could not wear my hair out.
HOWEVER, did I stop relaxing my hair? No. I relaxed AND straightened AND curled it regularly! *insert crying emoji*
2015
I bleached and colored what was left of her hair. On the bright side, I trimmed it, so it appeared fuller. I also stopped straightening it.
2016
My transition to natural hair was fairly quick. Nine months to be exact. I wore predominantly braids and twists to blend the new growth to the stringy relaxed ends. I do not wear extensions (braids) much, so I did not braid my hair while transitioning (if I did, perhaps just once during my 9-month transition).
2016–2017
I cannot begin to describe the joy and relief I felt! Nine months was long enough- I couldn’t go any longer. The stringy relaxed ends started falling off gradually, so I took the plunge and big-chopped, and I never looked back. I wore a wash and go, and I have not looked back. Here is why I chose to always wear a wash n go, and why I stuck with it since I big chopped.
2018
2018 was my awkward length phase. My hair was too long to wear my wash n go (like I did in 2016 and 2017), but it was too short to for other styles. So, I wore buns (shrunken and stretched) with flat twists in the front. I do not experiment often with my hair, I just so what works. Plus I was studying full time and working full time, and did not have the time or patience for experiments.

Microneedle patch for hair loss: No pain, all gain?
|
Attention all mice and humans interested in growing a lush(er) coat of hair: Scientists have developed an intriguing new technique to enzymatically and mechanically-stimulate hair growth.
Why it matters: It doesn’t. Unless you’ve noticed hair loss and you’re interested in alternatives to minoxidil (Rogaine), finasteride (Propecia), or hair transplant to stimulate hair growth.
Okay, so what’s going on? Hair loss results from poor blood flow and free radical damage to cells that grow hair. Researchers at the College of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Zhejiang University created a dissolvable microneedle patch containing ceria, a compound previously shown to decrease free radical damage. The study compared bald spots on male mice treated with ceria-containing patches versus those treated with minoxidil. Mice treated with the microneedle patch required less frequent application and showed faster hair regrowth compared to those treated with minoxidil.
Uhm. Are the microneedles painful? They’re not. The microneedle patch is a mixture of hyaluronic acid (a substance that grows naturally in the skin) and ceria-containing nanoparticles, delivered to a region under the skin with no pain receptors.
Great. Where can I get the microneedle patch? Not so fast, humans. This technology has only been tried on mice. Mice: inquire about a microneedle patch lab near you to satisfy all your pompadour ambitions.

Factors Affecting Your Hair And Its Volume
|
Everyone wants a thick, full head of hair, which is frequently associated with good looks and health. However, a variety of internal and external factors might have an impact on hair health.
You must be aware of the factors that can cause your hair to fall out and take the necessary steps to retain the volume you desire.
This article examines the various elements that affect hair volume.
The more volume there is in the hair, the denser and thicker it is.
An average person’s scalp has 2,200 strands per square inch.
Several things may alter this figure, including:
Genes. Genetic makeup has a significant impact on hair quality. Hair loss conditions such as male-pattern or female-pattern baldness are usually caused by genetic predisposition.
Exposure to chemicals
The usage of cosmetics containing chemicals like parabens, sulfates, formaldehyde, and isopropyl alcohol can cause hair to become brittle and weak.
Similarly, the chemicals used in a keratin treatment, hair dyes, and hair bleaching might contribute to hair loss.
Medical problems
Thyroid issues, anemia, and allergies can all contribute to telogen effluvium or hair loss.
Stress
Hair thinning is caused by a variety of factors, including stress and mental upheaval. Stress can harm the hair directly or negatively affect the immune system and hormonal levels.
Hormonal imbalances
When going through hormonal changes, regardless of gender, it’s usual to see a drop in hair volume. Hormone-related hair loss is more common in women with the polycystic ovarian disorder (PCOD), a condition in which an excess of testosterone causes hair to become brittle and thin, resulting in reduced hair volume.
Dietary deficiencies
Hair follicles can be severely affected by a lack of sufficient nourishment or a nutritional deficiency, resulting in hair loss and slowed hair development.
Aging
Hair volume loss is a frequent ageing symptom.
Haircare that isn’t up to par.
Hair damage can be caused by excessive heat, not shampooing the hair, and tugging the hair.
Pollution
Environmental contaminants are very vulnerable to the hair, and excessive exposure can contribute to poor hair health.
So protect your hair from these factors!

While in other cases, I witnessed that once I stop taking the pills, my hair loss increases drastically.
What Ingredients Used in Folexin?
For any pills or hair supplements, the most important thing is its ingredients. It is the ingredients used in particular pills, shampoo, or suppliant, which are the key factors behind making the product fruitful, effective, and causing side effects.

It is a type of herb found in China. Since the very beginning, it is used by Chines for overall health benefits.
It is believed that this plant has anti-aging properties. It helps to postpone your hair from thinning and getting greying as you get older.

The Basis about Lace Front Wigs
|
Human hair wigs are a nice way to change styles and maintain natural hair, but with so many choices and styles on the market, it is difficult to choose which wig is best for you. If you are ready to know about styling options for lace front wigs, then the following guide can provide you with some useful information.
About Lace Wig
Nowadays, there are many styles of lace wigs, including lace caps, full lace, and front lace wig. A front lace wig refers to a wig with transparent lace on the front of the wig. Place the wig along your forehead to expose your own hairline. The purpose of lace is to make the wearer’s hairline look more natural. These wigs are so popular because they look like your natural hair when wearing them in the right way, and the shape and color are the same as your natural hair, but with different parts and ponytails.
When a lace front wig is not used, it is important to take good care of it to make sure that it can last as long as possible. For example, please always place the lace front wigs in direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading. Besides, be sure to store it in a place where there is almost no dust and away from high temperatures. Front lace wigs can be stored on artificial heads or in satin sealed bags to help prevent curl and tangles.
Style
The effect of the lace front wig is very good because the hairline looks like your own hairline, you can wear them in any way to cover the back of your neck for an attractive look. It is no doubt that side ponytails, fishtail braids, low-bread, and even loose ones all are perfect options for natural styling and still maintain a natural appearance.
Put on
The cleaning of the lace front wigs is not as difficult as you think but choosing which method depends on the structure of the wig. Synthetic wigs require less cleaning and maintenance than real human hair wigs. Wigs made from human hair require as much care as your own hair. Human hair wigs can last at least one year, and they also need proper maintenance and storage.

What’s in your hair products? Pt. 1
|
What’s in your hair products? Pt. 1
At oak, we’re all about how the chemicals in your hair products interact with each other and with your hair. We wanted to create a short series to help you break down the ingredient labels on your favorite products. Each ingredient in a hair product falls into a specific category related to its function. Different types of hair products are made by mixing these standard ingredient categories in different ways. Understanding these different categories will help you better understand the long chemical names that might scare you away from certain products even if they are harmless!
This article will discuss the ingredient types you are most likely to find in a shampoo and what each ingredient type does. It is important to note that different ingredients within the same category can do the same job, but they might do it in different ways.
Surfactants (cleansers):
These are the ingredients that take the oil, product build up, and dirt out of your hair. They do so by having an oil-loving head and a water-loving tail. The oil-loving head will pick up oils in your hair and the water-loving tail will bind to the water when you rinse your hair to wash the oils away. Sulfates are probably the most well-recognized type of cleanser due to their strong cleansing properties, but there are many other types that are more mild.
Common cleansing ingredients: Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl betaine, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionates, Shea ButterAmidopropyl Betaine
Emulsifiers (mixers):
Emulsifiers help mix the different ingredients in a hair product. Hair products are made mostly of water, but they also contain lots of oils. Because water and oil do not mix, you need emulsifiers to create one cohesive product. Emulsifiers are similar to cleansers in that they have an oil-loving head and a water-loving tail, and therefore, they can sometimes act as a more mild, secondary cleanser.
Common emulsifiers: Emulsifying wax, cetearyl alcohol, ceteareth 20, glyceryl stearate, polysorbate 20
Foam boosters and thickeners:
Foam boosters and thickening agents are all about making a hair product feel better to apply. Washing your hair should be a luxurious, self-care experience and your shampoo ingredients should reflect that. Foam boosters help create more foam when you lather your shampoo. Thickeners help create a thicker consistency in a hair product.
Common foam boosters and thickeners: Cocamide MEA, Cocamide MIPA, Sodium Lauroyl Methyl isethionate, methylcellulose, sodium chloride, Sucrose Laurate
Sienna Naturals’ H.A.P.I. Shampoo does not have sulfates or parabens.
Miscellaneous:
The miscellaneous ingredients can include certain extracts, essential oils, fragrance, and more. We’ve grouped all of these ingredients together because they are often in extremely small quantities and add slight enhancements to the main composition and function of shampoo. These ingredients will be highly variable between different product brands and are often used to help differentiate products on the shelf.
Common miscellaneous ingredients: Peppermint oil, tea tree oil, rosemary oil, Nettle extract, Lavender oil, Vanilla extract, Horsetail Extract
Preservatives:
Preservatives keep your hair products free from mold and bacteria. Hair products typically use a combination of 2–3 preservatives to provide full-spectrum protection from pathogen growth. Parabens are the most recognizable preservative ingredients due to claims they may be hazardous, but there are many safer alternatives that the majority of brands use now. Preservatives are typically at the end of the ingredient list and only included in products in small amounts.
Common preservatives: DMDM Hydantoin, Benzyl alcohol, Tetrasodium EDTA, Sorbic Acid, Caprylhydroxamic Acid
Next time you go to read the back of an ingredient list, you can reference these groups to help break down all the crazy chemical names you’re seeing. Your oak system will already take into account how these different ingredient types will affect your hair in case you aren’t up to the research.

Now a days there are many different types of shampoos and conditioning agents in the world but here is one thing that is noticeable excess use of low quality cosmetic products will not only become the reason of hair falls but also damage our hair and different types diseases occur such as autism, hypertension and cancer. So at this point you should never compromise about your health at any cost. So for your convenience here is the link below that tell you more about the suitable ingredients of shampoo and conditioner this is just for the knowledge.
Help Your Hairs With Diet:
Everyone wants to look good and beautiful so your hair plays vital role in your beauty. Your hair grows about 0.25 cm to 1.25 cm in one month actually it depends upon the different factors like age, genetics, your health and diet, it’s true that you can’t have control over age and genetic but diet is the thing through this you can have control over it, having the diet that has no right nutrients leads to hair loss but on the other hand having a balanced and good nutrients diet can help your hair to grow more efficiently, here are some diet that helps you in growing healthy hairs.
Eggs:
Eggs have proteins, biotin, minerals and B-complex nutrients which is basic hair nutrient. When you add eggs in your diet it means you are having fundamental nutrient and minerals that help to improve the growth of your hairs, fats also give your hair conditioning effect that will leave your hair surface smooth.
Spinach and Nuts:
These are iron based food, so when you include iron based food in your diet, its mean you are adding more oxygen to your body and increasing hemoglobin that help your hair damage repair, beside it vitamin A produce gland that make sebum, this oily substance help to moisturize your hair and keep them healthy.
Fatty Fish:
Fatty fish is a great source of omega-3, vitamin D3 and B nutrient. Omega-3 is not only good for hair but also for heart, skin and eyes. Fatty fish is a best source of protein that improve the density and health of hairs, which help the hairs to grow wellbeing.
Meat:
Meat is also the main source of protein. Protein help in repair of hair and growth of hair, it strengthen the hair follicles and its deficiency causes hair falls but one thing more that I want to discuss here that you can also get protein by adding beans, soya beans in your diet because these low cost foods also have proteins in it just like meat.
Avocados:
Avocados is one of the delicious fruit. It has healthy fats and vitamin E. Avocados is a best and excellent source of vitamin E. Vitamin E promote hair growth. It helps the hair to grow faster its fatty acid is essential for the growth of hairs. Our body cannot produce this type of fatty acid, so it will be good to include this fruit in your diet to have crucial fatty acid that gives your hair healthy growth.
Conclusion:
It is fact that whatever you eat, it has an impact on your health, so if you want healthy hairs with your good health then you have to add in your diet these foods that I discussed above. Lack of vitamin A, B, C, D and E, Zinc, iron, protein, biotin and essential fatty acid not only slow down your hair growth but leads to hair falls. Here is the link below for you that give you more details about vitamins.
If you think or if you have lack of these vitamins and nutrients, so I will suggest you to include some of above mentioned diets in your food list that will not only make your health good but also you feel improvement in the growth and health of your hairs. So love your health and hairs and have a beautiful healthy life. Thanks.

6 HAIR HEALTH MISTAKES YOU’RE MAKING || HAIR CARE ROUTINE
|
6 HAIR HEALTH MISTAKES YOU’RE MAKING || HAIR CARE ROUTINE
1- Aggressive Towel War
The first mistake in your hair care routine is that aggressive towel drying after your shower, I know a lot of guys make same mistake and I know this because I used to do it myself. This is the problem when you come out of the shower your hair is obviously wet and when your hair is wet it’s also very fragile. It’s heavier and it’s stickier because of the water so, you need to be careful.
I know most guys just come out of the shower grab a towel and they use all the force in the world to dry their hair. Dude, take it down a notch go easy pat dry because your hair will definitely break otherwise and that’s going to cause your hair to look thinner uneven and unhealthy. Try to add this habit to your hair care routine.
2- Don’t Wash Your Hair with Shampoo Everyday
One another thing you need to change in your hair care routine. Washing your hair with shampoo every day is actually going to damage your hair and the reason for that is because shampoo is made to remove out all of the chemical’s products and dirt from your hair.
But in doing that it also ends up stripping away all of the natural oils from your hair and your scalp. That means, it’s going to dry your hair out which is not good instead skip shampoo days and only wash with water, exfoliate with your fingers and water and that’s good enough. You can even apply conditioner every day if you want to, just not shampoo. Even for the guys who work out every single day you should still skip shampoo days just use water that’s plenty. Make sure you improve this one in your hair care routine

Collagen could give you the hair boost you deserve

Collagen could give you the hair boost you deserve
Collagen could give you the hair boost you deserve When most people look into using marine collagen for a health boost, they do so for plumper and firmer skin, or the better nail growth that you could get through collagen.
Many people don’t consider the way that collagen could refine and boost your hair growth. Read on to find out what collagen could do for your hair.
Strengthen your roots The amino acids in collagen play a major role in the development of your hair’s roots. More specifically, the skin around the roots could receive a boost, strengthening and guarding the very foundation of your hair. This means that collagen could be used to give your hair a thicker appearance and reduce any clear signs of thinning close to the root of your hair. If you’ve not been treating your hair quite right, collagen could be the key to fixing your thinning scalp. Slow greying The colour of your hair is defined by a melanin pigment that is found in your cells. However, over time free radicals can cause damage to your melanin creating cells, preventing melanin production and causing your hair to get more grey. It’s been proven that collagen protein is able to target and attack free radicals in a test tube environment, and if they were to do so in melanin-producing cells, you could prevent the damage that causes greying. It’s a simple way to try to slow the greying process of your hair over time. Healthier looking hair As collagen protects your hair follicles, all of the hair that grows from them will be of the highest possible quality. This high level of quality isn’t just an internal factor relating to cells, but it could make your hair look stunning and lively. With healthier hair, it can be much easier to keep up that stunning shine and keep the sleek texture that you love. With a better look and easier styling, there’s no reason to delay your Kollo collagen supplements. If you’re interested in collagen supplements that you can trust, check out Kollo collagen today and see how easy it is to get started.

Common Mistakes about Wigs
|
Common Mistakes about Wigs
It is normal for wig veterans and novices to make mistakes. Although these mistakes may seem minor, they can cause great damage to your wig.
If you make one of these mistakes, don’t worry! We provide relevant measures to correct this error.
Using Heat Tools on Synthetic Fibers
Synthetic wigs are different from human hair wigs. They cannot be heated with hot tools because heat will destroy the fibers of the wig.
If your wig is made with human hair, you can absolutely use a curling wand or straight iron on it. But the temperature must be controlled within a certain range.
For more information on how to care for a synthetic wig, please read our guide carefully.
Too Close to the Heating Element
Of course, curling irons aren’t the only hot elements in our daily lives. There are many other heat sources, like ovens and heaters, that can also damage your wig’s fibers. When wearing a wig, try to keep your hair away from heat sources, especially long wigs.
Air Drying Human Hair Wigs
Air drying is so much easier than blow-drying. Of course. But what you must know is that you cannot air-dry a human hair wig. After washing your human hair wig, you must give it a full blowout.
This is true. Consider biological hair that is left to air dry. It’s easier, but naturally dried biological hair will eventually frizz or become flat.
Improperly Washing Your Wig
When it comes to washing your wig, do you think your washing method is right? If the wig is washed in the wrong way, it will cause irreparable damage.
To wash a wig, you need to use products formulated for use with wigs. Using any other products can leave your wig feeling brittle and looking dull.
Oh, you don’t have to wash your wig every day! You should wash your piece after about 4 to 6 wears. But the times of washing wigs depend on the frequency of your activities. If you sit for most of the day or don’t sweat much, you can appropriately reduce the times of washings.
Ordering Wrong Wig Size
At Kameymall.com, you can purchase wigs in three different sizes: small, medium, and large. These dimensions pertain to the circumference of your head. In order to determine your size, you will have to measure your head accurately.
Choosing a wig is the same as buying clothes. It is necessary to know the size of different body parts in advance so that we can choose the most comfortable product.

The 7 Best Oils for Hair Growth and Care
|
The 7 Best Oils for Hair Growth and Care
Do you want to know which oils are the best and why? If so, you’ve come to the right place! I’ll discuss the seven best oils for hair growth and care, tell you why they work so well, and share with you the tried-and-true favorites that I use daily! Let’s get started, shall we?
Coconut oil
Coconut oil is a great choice when it comes to using natural oils on your hair. It contains antioxidants that can help restore damaged hair, improve elasticity, promote growth, eliminate dandruff, soothe an itchy scalp and even strengthen your hair’s natural shine. The downside is that coconut oil has a pungent smell which some people don’t like — but if you can get past that then coconut oil is one of your best bets when it comes to looking after your hair.
Avocado oil
Avocado oil is a great choice if you’re looking to improve hair health and stop hair loss. It contains plenty of nutrients like magnesium, biotin, copper, vitamin E, potassium, folic acid, and pantothenic acid.
Castor oil
Olive oil is excellent as a deep conditioner. You can simply apply it as you would any other oil or use it as a hot oil treatment before shampooing. It’s also a great moisturizer that helps lock in moisture without leaving your hair feeling greasy. Olive oil will leave your hair looking shiny, silky, and strong.
Olive oil
This is one of my favorite oils. It’s very high in vitamin E, meaning it has many anti-aging properties. Olive oil is also great for your hair because it gives it a shiny texture. Mixing olive oil with castor oil can help treat hair loss, meaning if you’re experiencing some serious thinning of your locks, you may want to consider applying olive oil directly to your scalp before bedtime each night.
Hemp seed oil
Hemp seed oil is one of nature’s most perfect nutritional complements. It contains a complete set of essential fatty acids, providing your body with all nine of them that it can use. The hemp seed oil also contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which fights inflammation in your body.
Grapeseed oil
Grapeseed oil is packed with vitamin E, which can slow or reverse hair loss. If you notice your hair thinning as you age, look into incorporating grapeseed oil into your diet. It’s a mild supplement that doesn’t cause an itchy scalp or dandruff. You can also use it to wash your hair once a week. Grapeseed oil is particularly useful if you have a dry scalp — your hair will thank you!
Jojoba oil
Jojoba oil is extracted from jojoba seeds. The molecular structure of jojoba is very similar to that of our own skin sebum, which makes it an excellent conditioner that doesn’t strip hair of its natural oils. Jojoba also contains zinc, magnesium, copper, iron, and manganese, minerals that are beneficial to hair growth.

Best Diet For Women Over 50 With SET OF Must Eat Foods For Optimal Health

A directory of services which includes hotlines, medical treatment and support groups, therapy, caregiving, housing, parenting and child services, and public assistance. Another justification for fiftysomething women to dish up strawberries: a 2007 Harvard study found much less inflammation in the arteries of older women eating two servings (½ cup each) of strawberries a week.

The Menopause Diet: The natural way to beat your symptoms and lose weight. One of the central subject areas surrounding most any diet program for females is portion control. Very restrictive low-carb diet programs limit someone to 50 grams of net carbs a total day, with some scheduled applications daily going only 20 grams. The basic low-fat diet plan suggests specific foods for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner.
best diets that work
When you’re trying to lose weight, diet plan is one little bit of the puzzle; the additional is exercise. Since there are zero precise diets for females over 50 , it is vital to know, that only at that age, trying crash diets and extra starvation methods is an unhealthy choice surely. For the advantage of our readers, we’ve secured 50 trial bottles from an accredited supplier. That will help you to create the proper decision for the nutritionists specialize in making particular diet programs for folks, depending on their condition. Some women will have to re-feed twice a week or even more once they’re in maintenance mode.
There are many different kinds of change that occur within you simply because you reach 50. The very first is a complicated one — your nutritional requirements increase at exactly once as your nutrient absorbing capability is waning ( source ). Women over age 50 need at least thirty minutes of exercise each day for health benefits and weight loss.
Women who read food labels are regularly, normally, 9 pounds lighter than those who don’t do that, analysis from the U.S. Country wide Wellness Interview Review found. Most women feel better when they avoid plain intermittent practice and fasting Bulletproof Intermittent Fasting, instead.
Instruction To Successful Bodybuilding For More than 40 YEARS Eating clever once you complete the magical 50 season draw needs some smart planning. Finding the right combination of fiber and protein while keeping caloric intake within a reasonable range is the key to reducing your weight and/or maintaining a healthy weight for women older than 50. At least 2 to 4 servings of fruits and 3 to 5 5 servings of vegetables should be included in the daily food diet. Nothing functions except starvation and I simply can’t carry out it. I’ve tried 24 months of a whole foods plant based diet.
In some cases, women may have to deal with night sweats and flushes also, which can be quite uncomfortable. More specifically, when you have been subsequent a fat rich diet, it’s period to change it. As a female above 50 years of age, you should be aware of certain healthy foods that will enable you to lose pounds and live a fulfilling existence. Furthermore, adjusting to an altered diet program could cause unpleasant side outcomes, such as nausea, fatigue, and dizziness, notes the Mayo Clinic. A note on pounds gain and menopause just, I eat as real a paleo diet plan as I could and zone block aswell and I don’t drink alcohol. Many doctors advise that for bone and health and wellness, children and teenagers should reach least 400 IU of vitamin D daily, adults less than years 50 should get 400–800 IU daily, and parents more than years 50 should get 800–1,000 IU daily.
My viewpoint on diet plans is much more neutral today, as in you will look for a right time and place for everything, eating plans included. Any diet shall assist you to lose weight, but a low-carb diet plan has been proven to greatly help women lose weight faster than low-fat weight loss programs, according to a 2007 specialized medical research shared in JAMA. You shall be helped by any diet program lose weight, but a low-carb diet plan has been shown to greatly help women lose weight faster than low-fat meal plans, according to a 2007 study published in JAMA.

HOW EXACTLY TO Lose Weight In four weeks
|
This article features proven tips that are based on scientific research and experience to assist you reach your weight loss goals quickly and efficiently. Indeed, studies show that despite suggestions that women gain minimal amount of weight during the first trimester, in actuality, this is the trimester when the biggest amount of excessive fat gain (pounds gained above the recommended levels) occurs.
best diet for women over 50
Even when I’m not really exercising for stretches at the same time, my pounds holds steady at 185, and it has been that way for 4.5 years now. If you drop your calorie consumption without maintaining your nutrient intake, your body takes steps to make sure its nutritional requirements are met as well as your weight loss efforts are nearly certain to fail.
The intervention focused on eliminating junk food, eating more vegetables and reducing the entire number of calories the ladies were consuming eventually, she told Live Science. And over the next couple of weeks, a woman may also expect to lose the pounds of the extra liquid in her body that built up during pregnancy. In fact, this is what the Atkins Diet is banking on. Eating plenty of lean protein means that you can cut back on calories and shed weight without feeling hungry. In short, avoid your body from catching on to your weight loss efforts (see intensive training ), otherwise weight reduction shall slow or stop.
Jill Kanaley and her co-workers recruited 75 obese women and men who had been identified as having type 2 diabetes. It keeps your fat in check as well as away from all the fat associated is in fact the fastest method to lose excess weight without having to diet. This awesome food supplement can help with weight loss and has a bevy other other beneficial health effects. They tell me their advice remains the same for any post menopausal weight gain: grab your activity and lessen calories. My results are, I believe, pretty typical among those who are just losing a pound or less every week. I tried to lose excess weight the slow way by eating just a little less or doing slightly more exercise for several years.
If you don’t have so very much weigh to lose that your doctor prescribes a very-low-calorie diet, you can safely lose excess weight on your own by reducing your daily calorie intake by 500 to at least one 1,000, which will make you lose about 1 to 2 2 pounds per week.
Research shows that drinking 5 cups of green tea each day increases metabolism by 20%, assisting you burn lose and fat weight, while 2 cups of coffee will also boost metabolism. A motley complex of emotional and behavioral issues possess a powerful impact on the way women and men approach weight loss. However, 12 months seems to be the upper limit for how long it will take for women to lose all of their pregnancy weight. The key to slimming down is eating fewer calories than you consume via food and drinks. With my clients I teach them to put into practice measurements to obtain a good indicator of progress instead of scale weight. This article is part of a Live Science Special Report on the Science of Weight Loss. You should think of weight loss in conditions of permanently changing your eating habits.
For example, when I think that my husband’s ideal weight is almost 100 pounds more than mine I do not get as frustrated by the fact that he can eat more, because it’s just physics. But if I eat 1500–1900 calories each day, and keep the carbs in the Primal Sweet place of 50–100 carbs per day, and workout at least three times per week, I continue to lose weight. Try not to eat straight from a huge package of food — it’s simple to lose track that way. If you are overweight, we suggest that you combine all three methods listed, and obvious changes in both your bodyweight and overall health should be visible in less than two weeks. In fact, with consistency and discipline, you can even lose 2o pounds in 2 weeks.
In a report published in the January 2009 problem of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , even though women said they weren’t hungry when asked to smell, taste, and observe treats such as pizza, cinnamon buns and chocolate cake, brain scans showed activity in the regions that control the drive to consume (false for men).

Why Men Lose Pounds Faster Than Women

Advertiser Disclosure: The credit card gives that appear on this website are from credit card issuers from which receives compensation. A respected 1995 study based on two control organizations (one taking oral Hcg and another a placebo), found the specific same weight loss results. Going without food pertaining to 12–20 hours forces the body to use stored body fat for energy which can help you lose weight quickly. You are not imagining it: There are really differences between the way men and women diet, lose weight and respond to exercise. Although some women do lose weight while breast-feeding, many reports have shown little or no influence of breast-feeding on a mother’s weight change, she said. Beginning at 10 to 14 weeks postpartum, the women were divided into four groups for a 12-week intervention randomly. Many worry that the use of steroids for women for weight loss will
weight loss for women over 50
Jill Kanaley and her colleagues recruited 75 obese women and men who had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. To lose 1 pound of body fat in a full week, you should eat 500 fewer calorie consumption a day than you’re currently consuming. If you’ve struggled to lose each pound as the men you know appear to drop pounds without even trying, it isn’t all in your head. You can do most of these things together to create up your whole weight loss program or add one or two 2 of them to your present program to give your progress a boost. A 2000 review figured greater initial weight loss” increases long term weight loss maintenance, even when that weight is dropped using extreme diets.
In general, women 45 years and older can lose weight by limiting their intake to at least one 1,200 calories to at least one 1,500 calories, and they may even be able to eat a little more, depending on activity level, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.
In addition to a good training plan, women also need to make sure their diet is up to scratch. Whether a person is bigger because of his height, excess weight, or muscle mass, he gets the physiological benefit when it comes to losing weight compared to a smaller person. Food: zero chocolate or biscuits in the week, choose healthy snack foods such as for example fruit, trim all body fat from meat, eat no fast or fried food. You’ll find you could be in a position to cut your calories by half if you try and assist you to lose weight with greater ease.
Diets with the aim of losing weight fast and that only involve feeding on one kind of food (i.e. mono diets) could cause some undesirable results because they lack the essential nutrients your body must survive. In case you are taking extreme methods to lose excess weight faster, you will gain most or all of it back probably. If you’re wondering how to lose weight fast, and you’re still in your teens, remember that you’re still growing! The leaner you are, the more muscle tissue you’ll lose during weight reduction and the more unwanted effects you’ll accrue. Remember, keeping your calories low while adding weight training exercise shall lose you that pounds the fastest! SUPPLEMENT: You should take a multivitamin and mineral dietary supplement while following a lower-calorie eating plan geared for quick weight loss.
Big bellies, as it happens, are a type of a double-edged sword when it comes to weight loss: They’re a supplementary health risk for men, but give guys the edge when it comes to dropping pounds. But an important factor for expecting women to bear in mind is that the quantity of excess weight gained during pregnancy is linked to the amount of fat dropped afterward — quite strongly, in fact. The weight loss delay effect I experience, that i get is likely a water retention issue, makes this entire process exhausting and disheartening. I’m only one woman, and perhaps it’s possible to maintain HCG weight-loss afterwards, but a pal also had the same results (she lost less weight but gained it all back).
If you are dropping weight quickly but troublesome side effects occur, your weight loss may be drawing on more lean mass than you would like, and you should slow down probably. Understandably, quick-fix diets have an enormous appeal but before getting into among our weight-loss plans that promise you to lose weight fast, it’s worthy of considering whether it’s the right choice for you. Too much weight gain in the first trimester was also linked to higher blood circulation pressure after pregnancy than was excess weight gain in the second or third trimesters. Women who do gain too much early on in pregnancy should make an effort to slow their rate of pounds gain seeing that their pregnancy progresses, she said. Great to have a overview of rapid weight loss diets and well researched while usual! Whenever someone asks, How do I lose weight?”, the true number one answer is eat much less”.
I do have problems with edema and very mild heart & kidney problems — the doctor says nowhere near plenty of to be the cause of the idiopathic edema.” On the other hand, it has taken me 6.5 years to lose 65lb eating paleo by default (I’ve many food allergies) and exercising at a moderate to vigorous pace for 2 hours a day normally.

How to Make Yourself Poop Before a Run
|
There’s a reason porta potty lines rope around the block at running events: Most runners want to empty out their system before going out and running miles upon miles.
It’s a valid concern — not being able to go to the bathroom before a race means you may get hit with the urge mid-run, and in turn, cramps and gas or a need to pause mid-race and make a bathroom pit stop.
“The vertical movement of running causes things to move through the colon, so not going to the bathroom before a long run or race may increase the chances of feeling something you don’t want to feel while you run,” says Jason Karp, PhD, a running coach and the owner of Run-Fit.
Fear not: We polled the experts on exactly what to do to get your bowels moving first thing (plus what not to do).
Do drink coffee
Hollis Lotharius, a coach at Mile High Run Club in New York City, swears by a cup of Joe to help prompt a bathroom run.
“I am one who likes to run ‘light,’” she says. “I have found that a strong cup of coffee is the best way to dump, pun intended, extra weight prior to stepping out the door.”
And it works, says Roshini Rajapaksa, MD, Health’s contributing medical editor and a gastroenterologist at NYU Langone Medical Center. “Caffeine is what we call a cathartic,” she explains. “It stimulates the colon to contract and works as a laxative for many people.”
For the non-coffee drinkers, Lotharius has tried and tested a healthy (and yummy) alternative that works for her. “Combine 1 to 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, 1 teaspoon of honey, juice from one fresh lemon, and some grated raw ginger in a mug of hot water,” she says.
Do give yourself plenty of time
“The problem is typically more about not having the time to go before the race start — because of long lines at the porta potties or getting to the race late — rather than not being able to go,” says Karp.
Unfortunately there’s no exact science to how long your body needs before being “ready” to have a bowel movement, Dr. Raj says. “But waking up extra early allows you to have enough time for the crucial steps of eating, having coffee, et cetera.”
Lotharius agrees: “I set my alarm clock an hour early,” she says. “I honestly believe that the one hour less of sleep is far better than the alternative.”
Do eat breakfast
Most people feel an urge to go to the bathroom after eating something, Dr. Raj says. “There is something cause the gastrocolic reflex,” she explains. “When you eat and the food moves into your stomach, there’s a reflex that stimulates your colon to contract a bit.”
The reflex may be more pronounced for some people than others, she adds, but having a bite first thing in the morning is a promising way to get things moving.
RELATED: The 20 Best Foods to Eat for Breakfast
Don’t park it on the toilet
It may be tempting to coax your body into going by sitting on the John for a while. But kicking back with a newspaper and waiting it out can end up doing more harm than good, Dr. Raj warns.
“First of all, if you’re sitting for a long time, that suggests that you’re not going naturally and you may be straining or pushing for a lot of that time,” she says. “Also, sitting in that position puts pressure on the veins within the anal area, which is what causes hemorrhoids.”
Instead, move about, eat breakfast, have your coffee and wait for the urge to set in. Then sit down for just a few minutes so that the bowel movement comes on its own.
Do fill up on fiber
Upping the fiber in your diet can help keep you regular and prevent constipation, Dr. Raj says (a smart move whether you’ve got a race looming or not).
Insoluble fiber is the matter in foods that doesn’t get broken down by the gut and absorbed by the bloodstream. It adds bulk to stool in the digestive system, which helps keep it passing through smoothly and frequently.
Increase your fiber intake far in advance of your race so that your body has time to get used to a higher intake if you normally don’t get enough (adults should aim to get between 21 and 38 grams of fiber per day, per the U.S. National Library of Medicine). Try adding one serving a week; eating lots of fiber in a short period of time can cause your GI tract to protest in the form of gas or cramping, issues you don’t want to deal with during a race.
Find insoluble fiber in whole grains, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Prunes are particularly rich in fiber, with roughly 1 gram per prune. A heads up: Prunes also contain fructans and sorbitol, which are fermentable sugars that can have a laxative effect, so you’ll want to see how your body reacts at a time other than right before a race.
RELATED: 20 Best Foods for Fiber
Don’t try a laxative
…even if the label says something promising, like “gentle overnight relief.”
“Laxatives can end up having a painful effect, or they may work so strongly that you’re going for several hours or even the whole next day as opposed to the one, or maybe two, bowel movements that you were hoping for,” Dr. Raj says. “Especially if your body has never seen it before, it may have a super-strong reaction.”
The same goes for smooth-move teas, Dr. Raj adds, which can cause uncomfortable cramping or abdominal pain for some people.
Do warm up
“Typically the more active you are, the more regular you’ll be,” Dr. Raj says. “And physical activity tends to bring more activity to the colon as well.”
That doesn’t necessarily mean doing 20 jumping jacks in your living room will suddenly spur the need to go number-two, she says. But stretching out, doing a dynamic warm up, and getting your body up and moving may be worth a shot.
RELATED: 6 Dynamic Stretches That Prep You for Any Workout
Don’t stress about it
Constipation can sometimes stem from stress and anxiety, Dr. Raj warns. “So sitting there worrying about whether or not you’ll be able to clear your system while the clock is ticking can definitely block you from going,” Dr. Raj says. Focus on getting your head in the game for your run, maybe try some deep breathing exercises, to take your mind off of your GI concerns.
And if your corral is creeping toward the start line and your poop is still a no show? That doesn’t mean your run is doomed. “I don’t really know why physiologically it would be such a big problem to not have emptied your bowels before a race,” Dr. Raj says. “It’s sort of like giving birth; women are always freaking out that they’re going to need to have a bowel movement midway through. But it rarely happens, even though people are so paranoid about it.”
Karp says the bummer is when you do get a strong urge to go in the middle of a race. “Having that feeling affects you physically and psychologically,” he says, be it in the form of cramps that you need to walk off or as extra stress on your mind about whether you’ll be able to finish without needing to stop for the bathroom.
But if you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go — and tacking on an extra minute to your time is better than having an accident or running in discomfort the whole way. “Don’t overthink it,” Dr. Raj says.
Do practice in advance
Curious about sipping prune juice the night before? Planning to add extra beans and spinach to your dinner plate to wake up and “go”? Take any poop-related tricks for a trial run (literally) weeks in advance, Dr. Raj suggests. You don’t want any surprises about how your body reacts to these changes on race day.
The bottom line: “Give yourself some peaceful time in the morning, and start any new poop-related habits far in advance so that your body has time to adjust and get in sync,” she says.

HOW EXACTLY TO Lose Weight In four weeks
|
This article features proven tips that are based on scientific research and experience to assist you reach your weight loss goals quickly and efficiently. Indeed, studies show that despite suggestions that women gain minimal amount of weight during the first trimester, in actuality, this is the trimester when the biggest amount of excessive fat gain (pounds gained above the recommended levels) occurs.
best diet for women over 50
Even when I’m not really exercising for stretches at the same time, my pounds holds steady at 185, and it has been that way for 4.5 years now. If you drop your calorie consumption without maintaining your nutrient intake, your body takes steps to make sure its nutritional requirements are met as well as your weight loss efforts are nearly certain to fail.
The intervention focused on eliminating junk food, eating more vegetables and reducing the entire number of calories the ladies were consuming eventually, she told Live Science. And over the next couple of weeks, a woman may also expect to lose the pounds of the extra liquid in her body that built up during pregnancy. In fact, this is what the Atkins Diet is banking on. Eating plenty of lean protein means that you can cut back on calories and shed weight without feeling hungry. In short, avoid your body from catching on to your weight loss efforts (see intensive training ), otherwise weight reduction shall slow or stop.
Jill Kanaley and her co-workers recruited 75 obese women and men who had been identified as having type 2 diabetes. It keeps your fat in check as well as away from all the fat associated is in fact the fastest method to lose excess weight without having to diet. This awesome food supplement can help with weight loss and has a bevy other other beneficial health effects. They tell me their advice remains the same for any post menopausal weight gain: grab your activity and lessen calories. My results are, I believe, pretty typical among those who are just losing a pound or less every week. I tried to lose excess weight the slow way by eating just a little less or doing slightly more exercise for several years.
If you don’t have so very much weigh to lose that your doctor prescribes a very-low-calorie diet, you can safely lose excess weight on your own by reducing your daily calorie intake by 500 to at least one 1,000, which will make you lose about 1 to 2 2 pounds per week.
Research shows that drinking 5 cups of green tea each day increases metabolism by 20%, assisting you burn lose and fat weight, while 2 cups of coffee will also boost metabolism. A motley complex of emotional and behavioral issues possess a powerful impact on the way women and men approach weight loss. However, 12 months seems to be the upper limit for how long it will take for women to lose all of their pregnancy weight. The key to slimming down is eating fewer calories than you consume via food and drinks. With my clients I teach them to put into practice measurements to obtain a good indicator of progress instead of scale weight. This article is part of a Live Science Special Report on the Science of Weight Loss. You should think of weight loss in conditions of permanently changing your eating habits.
For example, when I think that my husband’s ideal weight is almost 100 pounds more than mine I do not get as frustrated by the fact that he can eat more, because it’s just physics. But if I eat 1500–1900 calories each day, and keep the carbs in the Primal Sweet place of 50–100 carbs per day, and workout at least three times per week, I continue to lose weight. Try not to eat straight from a huge package of food — it’s simple to lose track that way. If you are overweight, we suggest that you combine all three methods listed, and obvious changes in both your bodyweight and overall health should be visible in less than two weeks. In fact, with consistency and discipline, you can even lose 2o pounds in 2 weeks.
In a report published in the January 2009 problem of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , even though women said they weren’t hungry when asked to smell, taste, and observe treats such as pizza, cinnamon buns and chocolate cake, brain scans showed activity in the regions that control the drive to consume (false for men).

Why Men Lose Pounds Faster Than Women
|
Advertiser Disclosure: The credit card gives that appear on this website are from credit card issuers from which receives compensation. A respected 1995 study based on two control organizations (one taking oral Hcg and another a placebo), found the specific same weight loss results. Going without food pertaining to 12–20 hours forces the body to use stored body fat for energy which can help you lose weight quickly. You are not imagining it: There are really differences between the way men and women diet, lose weight and respond to exercise. Although some women do lose weight while breast-feeding, many reports have shown little or no influence of breast-feeding on a mother’s weight change, she said. Beginning at 10 to 14 weeks postpartum, the women were divided into four groups for a 12-week intervention randomly. Many worry that the use of steroids for women for weight loss will
weight loss for women over 50
Jill Kanaley and her colleagues recruited 75 obese women and men who had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. To lose 1 pound of body fat in a full week, you should eat 500 fewer calorie consumption a day than you’re currently consuming. If you’ve struggled to lose each pound as the men you know appear to drop pounds without even trying, it isn’t all in your head. You can do most of these things together to create up your whole weight loss program or add one or two 2 of them to your present program to give your progress a boost. A 2000 review figured greater initial weight loss” increases long term weight loss maintenance, even when that weight is dropped using extreme diets.
In general, women 45 years and older can lose weight by limiting their intake to at least one 1,200 calories to at least one 1,500 calories, and they may even be able to eat a little more, depending on activity level, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.
In addition to a good training plan, women also need to make sure their diet is up to scratch. Whether a person is bigger because of his height, excess weight, or muscle mass, he gets the physiological benefit when it comes to losing weight compared to a smaller person. Food: zero chocolate or biscuits in the week, choose healthy snack foods such as for example fruit, trim all body fat from meat, eat no fast or fried food. You’ll find you could be in a position to cut your calories by half if you try and assist you to lose weight with greater ease.
Diets with the aim of losing weight fast and that only involve feeding on one kind of food (i.e. mono diets) could cause some undesirable results because they lack the essential nutrients your body must survive. In case you are taking extreme methods to lose excess weight faster, you will gain most or all of it back probably. If you’re wondering how to lose weight fast, and you’re still in your teens, remember that you’re still growing! The leaner you are, the more muscle tissue you’ll lose during weight reduction and the more unwanted effects you’ll accrue. Remember, keeping your calories low while adding weight training exercise shall lose you that pounds the fastest! SUPPLEMENT: You should take a multivitamin and mineral dietary supplement while following a lower-calorie eating plan geared for quick weight loss.
Big bellies, as it happens, are a type of a double-edged sword when it comes to weight loss: They’re a supplementary health risk for men, but give guys the edge when it comes to dropping pounds. But an important factor for expecting women to bear in mind is that the quantity of excess weight gained during pregnancy is linked to the amount of fat dropped afterward — quite strongly, in fact. The weight loss delay effect I experience, that i get is likely a water retention issue, makes this entire process exhausting and disheartening. I’m only one woman, and perhaps it’s possible to maintain HCG weight-loss afterwards, but a pal also had the same results (she lost less weight but gained it all back).
If you are dropping weight quickly but troublesome side effects occur, your weight loss may be drawing on more lean mass than you would like, and you should slow down probably. Understandably, quick-fix diets have an enormous appeal but before getting into among our weight-loss plans that promise you to lose weight fast, it’s worthy of considering whether it’s the right choice for you. Too much weight gain in the first trimester was also linked to higher blood circulation pressure after pregnancy than was excess weight gain in the second or third trimesters. Women who do gain too much early on in pregnancy should make an effort to slow their rate of pounds gain seeing that their pregnancy progresses, she said. Great to have a overview of rapid weight loss diets and well researched while usual! Whenever someone asks, How do I lose weight?”, the true number one answer is eat much less”.
I do have problems with edema and very mild heart & kidney problems — the doctor says nowhere near plenty of to be the cause of the idiopathic edema.” On the other hand, it has taken me 6.5 years to lose 65lb eating paleo by default (I’ve many food allergies) and exercising at a moderate to vigorous pace for 2 hours a day normally.

Perfect Bar Review | Are Perfect Bars Healthy?
A full review of the original refrigerated protein bar.
The Perfect Bar was the first refrigerated protein bar. They require refrigeration because Perfect Bars do not contain artificial preservatives. The company prides itself with this fact and they certainly should. There aren’t many other brands that can make a similar claim.
Today we have all kinds of protein bars to choose from at the grocery store and it seems each week there is a new one on the shelf. Even gas stations and conveniences stores have a wide variety to choose from.
While there are many brands to choose from, your selection is slim when looking to buy a refrigerated protein bar. With this in mind, let’s take a look at the original refrigerated protein bar and answer some of your questions. Are Perfect Bars healthy? What are the Perfect Bar Ingredients?
Perfect Bar Nutrition Facts (Peanut Butter Bar):
Before we dive into the nutrition facts of the peanut butter protein bar, it’s important to note there are many different flavors to choose from. Each bar will have different ingredients and nutrition facts, but they are all very similar. Today, our analysis will focus on the Peanut Butter Perfect Bar.
Calories: 330
Calories From Fat: 160
Total Fat: 18g
Saturated Fat: 3g
Trans Fat: 0g
Polyunsaturated Fat: 1.5g
Monounsaturated Fat: 13g

Perfect Bar Ingredients
What are the Peanut Butter Perfect Bar Ingredients? According to the official Perfect Bar website, the ingredients in this bar are as follows:
Organic Peanut Butter, Organic Honey, Organic Nonfat Dry Milk, Organic Dried Whole Egg Powder, Organic Rice Protein, Organic Sunflower Lecithin, Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Flax Seed Oil, Organic Sesame Seed Oil, Organic Olive Oil, Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil, Dried Whole Food Powders (Organic Kale, Organic Flax Seed, Organic Rose Hip, Organic Orange, Organic Lemon, Organic Papaya, Organic Tomato, Organic Apple, Organic Alfalfa, Organic Celery, Organic Kelp, Organic Dulse, Organic Carrot, Organic Spinach).
ALLERGEN WARNING: CONTAINS PEANUTS, MILK AND EGGS, PRODUCED ON EQUIPMENT ALSO HANDLING ALMONDS AND OTHER TREE NUTS. MAY CONTAIN OCCASIONAL NUT SHELLS.
After looking at a few of these ingredients, you may be wondering what some of them are. We can help. Below we break-down some of these uncommon ingredients.
Organic Sunflower Lecithin: To make sunflower lecithin, manufacturers dehydrate sunflowers and separate them into three parts: gum, oil and solids. Lecithin is from the gum. Sunflower lecithin is a natural fat emulsifier, similar to soy lecithin.

Rose hip contains large amounts of vitamin C, but a lot of it can be destroyed when processing it. Organic Dulse: Dulse is red seaweed. Over the past many years, dulse is beginning to get labeled as a superfood. Dulse contains high levels of potassium, calcium and many other vitamins and minerals like Vitamin B12.
What We Think: Are Perfect Bars Healthy?
After taking a look at this nutrition label you may be thinking about how healthy this protein bar is compared to others on the market. Compared to others, yes, this is one of the healthier protein bars you can buy.
With this in mind, you have to ask yourself a few questions. Do I care about how much sugar is in my protein bar? Do I care about how much protein is in my protein bar?
The Peanut Butter Perfect Bar has one of the highest levels of protein compared to its counterparts. The Chocolate Walnut Brownie Perfect Bar has 20g of sugar and 10g of protein. With those numbers, you aren’t looking at a protein bar anymore. That is a glorified candy bar.
Perfect Bar isn’t the only company making bars with these kind of numbers. Almost of protein, energy and granola bar maker is guilty of the same. Why is this a big deal you ask? Well, you’re about to find out.
Our Side Note on Sugar
Too much processed sugar in your diet can cause many health issues. While this bar does not contain as much processed sugars as other flavors, you still get processed sugar from the peanut butter and honey.
The other flavors are loaded with sugar from ingredients like: cane sugar, chocolate, dark chocolate and cocoa.
According to the American Heart Association, women should eat up to 100 calories of sugar per day and men should eat up 150 calories per day.
Potential Side Effects of Eating too Much Sugar
Becoming overweight
Your skin can age faster
Kidney damage
Diabetes
Erectile dysfunction
Fatty liver disease
Joint pain
Tooth decay
Heart disease
This is just a start. You can read more about each of these side effects here.
Looking at the numbers above, it’s important to note that eating one of these protein bars puts you well over half the daily recommended amount of added sugar to consume. In the long-term, you have to ask yourself, or a medical professional how much sugar should I be eating and should I be eating Perfect Bars?
What are Your Alternatives?
While you don’t necessarily have to eliminate Perfect Bars from your diet, there are plenty of alternatives to get “easy” protein in your diet. Some of these alternatives include:
Protein powders
Smoothies
Eggs
Nuts
Perfect Bar Review | Are Perfect Bars Healthy?
This short answer is: it’s up to you. Each person has different dietary guidelines and lifestyles they follow.
The ingredients are extremely healthy and each bar is certified organic. Our only issue is with the amount of sugar. Eating one of these everyday may not be the greatest idea, but every once in awhile will not hurt.
Just like most things in life, you don’t want to overdo it. Problems can arise when you eat too much of something, exercise too much or too little etc. Next time you’re at the store, take a look at what else they offer and make sure to read your labels.
One of the best places to start improving your diet is to read the nutrition labels and ingredient labels of what you buy. This can make it harder to shop, but it’s worth it in the long-run.

For those who tuned into the Final Five this summer, you were privy to the athletic prowess that is Aly Raisman: she’s a two-time captain of the winning U.S. Women’s Gymnastics Team, and she is the second-most decorated American gymnast of all time. At 22 years old, however, many people felt she was “too old” to compete this time around.
“They called me grandma,” Raisman said at the Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit.
With so many people cheering on her teammate Simone Biles (gymnastics’ favorite) and wondering if Raisman could even compare at her age, it’s a wonder she was able to tune out the criticism and go on to win silver in the All-Around competition and help bring her team to gold. But, she has some awesome logic:
“When Tom Brady wins the Super Bowl nobody asks him if he’s going to stop,” Raisman said. “When a hockey player wins the Stanley Cup, nobody asks him if he’s going to stop. Why should it be any different [for me]?”
That confidence is why so many people have cheered on Raisman throughout her entire career. And winning silver at the Rio Olympics felt “like gold” to her.
“It’s not always about winning,” Raisman said. “At the end of the day, people will remember you for the kind of person you are rather than the place you were on the podium.”
Now, Raisman is focusing on creating a leotard and sock line, working with nonprofit Walden Behavioral Care (which offers support to people with eating disorders), and connecting with and offering inspiration to young gymnasts.
“I take the role of being a role model really seriously,” Raisman said.

This Is What Happens to Your Body When You Stop Exercising
|
There comes a point in almost every fitness lover’s life when they consider throwing in the towel after a workout — both figuratively and literally. Blame it on your looming work deadlines, or the stubborn needle on the scale, or even just plain old boredom.
That’s normal. But here’s why you shouldn’t follow through on the temptation to just quit: There are plenty of benefits to exercise, but they’re not permanent. In fact, many of those hard-earned gains will start to disappear in as little as two weeks, says Farah Hameed, MD, a sports medicine physician with ColumbiaDoctors.
Here’s exactly what you can expect to happen to your body if you give up exercise:
Within 10 days: Your brain might start to change
For years, researchers have suspected that exercise is good for your brain, too — according to one 2013 review, it might be able to help offset age-related memory loss. Now, a new study in the journal Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience found that even a short vacation from your workout might cause changes to the brain.
In the study, when a group of long-term endurance runners took a 10-day exercise hiatus, their subsequent MRIs showed a reduction in blood flow to the hippocampus, the part of the brain that’s associated with memory and emotion. The researchers point out that although the runners didn’t experience any cognitive changes over the period, more long-term studies are needed.
Within two weeks: Your endurance will plummet and your vitals may spike
After just 14 days, you might have a harder time climbing a flight of stairs or keeping up with your colleagues during the monthly kickball game. The reason you’re so winded? Skipping sweat sessions causes a drop in your VO2 max, or the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use. It can dip by about 10% after two weeks, says Dr. Hameed. It only gets worse from there: After four weeks, your VO2 max can drop by about 15%, and after three months, it can fall about 20% — “and those are conservative estimates,” Dr. Hameed notes.
Staying even slightly active can help: One 2009 study found that male kayakers who took a five-week break from their training saw an 11.3% drop on average in their VO2 max, while those who worked in a handful of exercise sessions during each week only saw a 5.6% drop.

Even if you don’t notice a change in your speed or strength, you might experience a sharp rise in your blood pressure and blood glucose levels — something that could be more serious for people with diabetes or high blood pressure, says Dr. Hameed.
Researchers from South Africa found that a two-week exercise break was enough to offset the blood pressure benefits of two weeks of high-intensity interval training; another 2015 study in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that people who did an eight-month bout of resistance and aerobic exercise saw an improvement in the blood glucose levels, but lost almost half of these benefits after 14 days of inactivity.
RELATED: 20 Ways to Lower Your Blood Pressure Naturally
Within four weeks: Your strength will start slipping
Dr. Hameed estimates that some people will notice their strength declining after about two weeks of inactivity, while others will begin to see a difference after about four weeks. The silver lining: Our strength probably diminishes at a slower rate than our endurance, and one 2011 study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning found that when one group of men stopped doing resistance training, they still had some of their strength gains up to 24 weeks later.
Within eight weeks: You might gain fat
Dr. Hameed estimates that people will start to notice a physical change — either by looking in the mirror, or at the number on the scale — after about six weeks. Even elite athletes aren’t immune to the rebound. A 2012 study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that competitive swimmers who took a five-week break from their training experienced a 12% increase in their levels of body fat, and saw a boost in their body weight and waist circumference. (We should also point out that these athletes weren’t totally sedentary — they still did some light and moderate exercise.) And a 2016 study found that elite Taekwondo athletes who took an eight-week hiatus from exercise experienced an increase in their levels of body fat and a decrease in muscle mass, too.

That said, there’s a difference between breaking up with exercise for good and taking a well-intentioned rest. The distinction: “You need to do some type of activity [every day],” says Dr. Hameed. For example, maybe you just ran the Chicago Marathon and can’t run another 16 miles, let alone 26 — in that case, says Dr. Hameed, you should do some cross-training. (Think: cycling, using the elliptical, or even light walking.) Just don’t quit moving altogether — your body, brain, and waistline will thank you.

best diets that work
When you’re trying to lose weight, diet plan is one little bit of the puzzle; the additional is exercise.

There are many different kinds of change that occur within you simply because you reach 50. The very first is a complicated one — your nutritional requirements increase at exactly once as your nutrient absorbing capability is waning ( source ). Women over age 50 need at least thirty minutes of exercise each day for health benefits and weight loss.

Why pledge? — 10 reasons to make Origin Club this year’s “perfect gift to show you care”
|
Why pledge? — 10 reasons to make Origin Club this year’s “perfect gift to show you care”
Origin Club is helping small farmers in Central Greece by selling their products online.
We’re targeting pre-sales of limited edition solidarity hampers (plus other rewards, from postcards to holidays) worth £10,000 in an all-or-nothing crowdfunding campaign — with just 2 days to go we’re over 85% funded!
So, without further ado, please read and share these 10 simple reasons to p…p…p…pledge!
Our 90 second explainer
#1 Products
Authentic, fairly priced and delicious products delivered to your door in time for Christmas —if you’re an ethical foodie it doesn’t get better than this.
Greek villagers have always been famous for their vitality and longevity, but most recently for a debt crisis that is putting small producers out of business on a daily basis.
Put simply, buying a solidarity hamper is your chance to make a stand in solidarity and enjoy world class local food, direct from Central Greece.
The selection of products inside “The Athena” hamper
#2 Prizes
We’ve upgraded every reward — which means from now until our November 15th deadline pledges win prizes…
Grab a low value reward and you could win a hamper worth £100. Or, buy any hamper and you’ll enter a draw to win a 5 day co-learning retreat on Villa Averoff in June 2017.
And once more for emphasis — Buy a solidarity hamper in the next 10 days and you could win a free holiday. Opa!
Win a 5 day retreat on Evia in June 2017
#3 People
Here’s the bottom line — Buying one of our hampers directly benefits small-scale producers by selling more of their products.
In the simplest possible terms, every single hamper sold means more Euros in the hands of Greek farmers like Vasilis. For all the R&D in the pipeline, this is the headline grabber. Crisis in Greece is a daily reality, and in times like these, buying direct really does make a difference.
So go on, make Vasilis smile a little wider.
Meet Vasilis — a local olive grower for our Philos brand
#4 Place
Brexit, Grexit, the refugee crisis, the ecological mega-crisis — it’s clear as day that Europe is at a crossroads. What happens next could define our European story for generations to come.
Our response is to tell a bold new story by actively sharing experiences. Transform Evia is a brand new initiative — we call it purpose tourism — which seeks to build lasting and committed relationships with people and projects across Europe.
This is Origin Club’s pilot region and the wider context which informs our startup activity here in Greece. We invite you to pledge now, then come and play from summer 2017…

#5 Project
As well as selling mountains of solidarity hampers, we have a bigger picture in mind — to reinvest 100% of our profits in groundbreaking R&D which directly benefits the rural communities which make Origin Club possible, focusing on key issues of authentication, marketing and distribution.
Whether or not we hit this campaign’s all or nothing target, we’re happy to have built invaluable momentum and helped lay the foundations for new and exciting developments in 2017. Say hello if you’d like to join the club and help co-create this with us.
Philos — meaning “friends” — will be the subject of upcoming supply-side R&D
#6 Purpose
Our mission is to design, prototype and diffuse simple and scalable solutions to real world problems.
We know this approach could take years, even decades, to bear fruit. But we sincerely believe that now is the time — let’s start building those new models which make the old ones obsolete.
So why not take action today and nudge us gently skywards from just £5?
“To change something, build a new model which makes the existing one obsolete” — Bucky Fuller
#7 Process
We’ve adopted an integrative and iterative process —which means we learn by doing and are always prepared to pivot. Sometimes we fail, but what’s important is that we fail fast.
This campaign has already proved to be a mighty steep learning curve, and who knows what the next 10 days will bring?
One thing we know for sure is that we’ll be back in 2017 with new practical ways to help make a difference. Buy a hamper today and whatever happens next, you’ll share in this adventure right from the start.
Origin Club applies design thinking to food trade in Europe
#8 Principles
We value democracy, transparency, autonomy and agility — principles which we’ve hard wired into this startup’s DNA.
If (like us) you’re a bit geeky and would like to know more about what’s under the hood and how it works then stay tuned — we’ll publish a deep dive into our crowdsourced organisational pattern later this week.
At the heart of our idea is the belief that a sustainable and flourishing food system depends on greater democracy and transparency, enabling small scale farmers and ethical consumers to work together to drive innovation and positive change. If you believe this too, then please buy our products and help make Origin Club this year’s perfect gift to show you care.
The IO Collective which inspired Origin Club back in June 2016.
#9 Players
Origin Club is designed to facilitate co-production and share risks and rewards with all stakeholder groups. This approach helps us to collaborate openly with a global design community of leading edge innovators as well as local networks of small farmers and other peer producers.
If you like our big ideas and would like to see them develop as pipeline collaborations with FairTransport, Fairmondo, Provenance and Greenpeace Greece come to life, then there’s no better way than the simple act of — yes, you’ve guessed it —buying a Christmas hamper full of delicious Greek goodies.

#10 Pledge
And that’s it. 10 reasons to back Origin Club, help small farmers in Central Greece and generally make the world a better place.
It all starts with a pledge. Whether £5 or £500, this campaign is all about gaining early traction by growing our crowd.
So what are you waiting for good people of the web?

3 Ways the Foodservice Industry Will Change
|
This way.
The food industry has been “innovated” upon over and over again in the same direction. Delivery companies are innumerable at this point and all they’re trying to do is bring you more of the restaurants that don’t deliver. These are all great efforts, but besides that, how do they benefit our future? I’m stumped on finding that answer. At Yuma, we believe in something different. Something totally different.
Scrap the whole industry and start from scratch.
The industry, as we know it, is not working. It’s saturated with fast food that’s detrimental to our health and all they’re doing is making it more accessible to us. They’re basically saying: be lazy, eat crap, give us your money. Our idea is to scrap the whole industry and start from scratch. Get on that drawing board and find another direction. So we did.
Open Market
There’s no need for another pizza joint or burger parlor. We’re opening the market wide open. 60% of the fast food market is dominated by pizza. There’s absolutely no variety out there. And we’re suckers for it.
The fastness of the fast food market induces this staleness in variety. To serve quickly means to limit the options that you can serve. Good food takes time to prepare and we need to remember that. If you’re always on fast gear, you don’t have time to slow down and look at what’s around you. It’s a galloping blind horse. It’s a bottleneck.
With Yuma, we hope to open new opportunities to culinary enthusiasts. A platform that allows them to bootstrap a food business in minutes. They can publish their menus and make it accessible for everyone to preorder delicious dishes. We started recently in Montréal, Canada with ~13 menus and we already have food that you can’t find anywhere else. It’s home-style food from the best local chefs that come from all over the world. Their creations extend from their own minds and experiences, jamming together to give rise to endless variety and diversity. You can also find genres of food that are presently hard to locate, such as vegan and vegetarian options. Gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free options also. With an open market, everyone’s needs will be met by a chef’s specific skills.
Increase Time Efficiency
We currently think that the fast food market is fast. I hate to break it to you, it’s not. We’ve seen the food courts at lunch and people are always piling on top of each other while they wait. The time it takes to get to the place, then wait to place an order, sit down to eat or take it to-go is all in all a 1–2 hour endeavour. Easily.
You come back home from school or work and you take a peek into your fridge. Your stomach growls in anger. Now you have 3 options:
Cook whatever you find in your kitchen. Order fast food online or by phone. Put your shoes back on and go on a fast food hunt.
You could be doing more with your time. With Yuma, we’re instilling the concept of preordering. Planning your meals ahead will save you so much time. Having several meals in store — you can take some to work, school or eat when you’re back home. Just pop it into the microwave and it’s done in 3 minutes. You’ll be done eating in, say, 10 minutes. That’s 13 minutes dedicated to food. Now, you can relax or focus on what’s important in your day.
Preordering Lowers Food Waste
We’ve been seeing a lot of initiatives towards lowering food waste around the world. Still, it’s not solving the issue completely. We’ve found a better solution. If we preorder our food, not only do we save our time, but we also contribute to lowering food waste. There’s a deadline to place an order when preordering. Therefore, the chef knows exactly how much has to be cooked for that day. Having knowledge of their sales on a future day is magic. It helps the chefs prepare the best food in the most economical fashion.
The only challenge is that preordering is not a familiar concept to people. Most people think of their food as “I want it here and I want it now!” We’ve all been victims of this privileged mentality, but we need to be patient with our food in order to get the best results.

HOW EXACTLY TO Lose Weight In four weeks
|
This article features proven tips that are based on scientific research and experience to assist you reach your weight loss goals quickly and efficiently. Indeed, studies show that despite suggestions that women gain minimal amount of weight during the first trimester, in actuality, this is the trimester when the biggest amount of excessive fat gain (pounds gained above the recommended levels) occurs.
best diet for women over 50
Even when I’m not really exercising for stretches at the same time, my pounds holds steady at 185, and it has been that way for 4.5 years now. If you drop your calorie consumption without maintaining your nutrient intake, your body takes steps to make sure its nutritional requirements are met as well as your weight loss efforts are nearly certain to fail.
The intervention focused on eliminating junk food, eating more vegetables and reducing the entire number of calories the ladies were consuming eventually, she told Live Science. And over the next couple of weeks, a woman may also expect to lose the pounds of the extra liquid in her body that built up during pregnancy. In fact, this is what the Atkins Diet is banking on. Eating plenty of lean protein means that you can cut back on calories and shed weight without feeling hungry. In short, avoid your body from catching on to your weight loss efforts (see intensive training ), otherwise weight reduction shall slow or stop.
Jill Kanaley and her co-workers recruited 75 obese women and men who had been identified as having type 2 diabetes. It keeps your fat in check as well as away from all the fat associated is in fact the fastest method to lose excess weight without having to diet. This awesome food supplement can help with weight loss and has a bevy other other beneficial health effects. They tell me their advice remains the same for any post menopausal weight gain: grab your activity and lessen calories. My results are, I believe, pretty typical among those who are just losing a pound or less every week. I tried to lose excess weight the slow way by eating just a little less or doing slightly more exercise for several years.
If you don’t have so very much weigh to lose that your doctor prescribes a very-low-calorie diet, you can safely lose excess weight on your own by reducing your daily calorie intake by 500 to at least one 1,000, which will make you lose about 1 to 2 2 pounds per week.
Research shows that drinking 5 cups of green tea each day increases metabolism by 20%, assisting you burn lose and fat weight, while 2 cups of coffee will also boost metabolism. A motley complex of emotional and behavioral issues possess a powerful impact on the way women and men approach weight loss. However, 12 months seems to be the upper limit for how long it will take for women to lose all of their pregnancy weight. The key to slimming down is eating fewer calories than you consume via food and drinks. With my clients I teach them to put into practice measurements to obtain a good indicator of progress instead of scale weight. This article is part of a Live Science Special Report on the Science of Weight Loss. You should think of weight loss in conditions of permanently changing your eating habits.
For example, when I think that my husband’s ideal weight is almost 100 pounds more than mine I do not get as frustrated by the fact that he can eat more, because it’s just physics. But if I eat 1500–1900 calories each day, and keep the carbs in the Primal Sweet place of 50–100 carbs per day, and workout at least three times per week, I continue to lose weight. Try not to eat straight from a huge package of food — it’s simple to lose track that way. If you are overweight, we suggest that you combine all three methods listed, and obvious changes in both your bodyweight and overall health should be visible in less than two weeks. In fact, with consistency and discipline, you can even lose 2o pounds in 2 weeks.
In a report published in the January 2009 problem of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , even though women said they weren’t hungry when asked to smell, taste, and observe treats such as pizza, cinnamon buns and chocolate cake, brain scans showed activity in the regions that control the drive to consume (false for men).

Zuck does it again!

Zuck does it again!
Today on Medium, Michael K. Spencer noticed the rise of ByteDance. It’s given us a video app called TikTok. Kids dig it.
Designed for the new generation of creators, Tik Tok (known as Douyin in China) allows users to quickly and easily create unique 15-second short videos with unique effects for sharing with friends and the broader world. From dance to comedy, and free-style antics or performances, creators are encouraged to let their imagination run wild and set their creativity free. (from the ByteDance website)
All of this is bad news for Facebook. As Spencer puts it,
ByteDance recently overtook Uber as the most valuable startup in the world and now its proven it can make popular apps faster than Facebook can acquire them.
Here’s a glimpse of the TikTok rise to greatness.
Once more Facebook proves to be flatfooted in the face of a competitor that genuinely customer-centric.
In a sense, this is round 2.
Remember when Zuckerberg declared that all the photos people were putting on Facebook belonged to Facebook. There was outrange and incredulity. At a stroke, Zuck had demonstrated that he did not understand that photos were a precious part of the FB value proposition…from the consumers point of view. People cared about Facebook, because it was a place to share photos. (The one person at Facebook who grasped this, Chris Hughes, left early.)
I was moved to observe the larger culture significance of the photo on social.
We tend to think that photos matter because they are a record of the world. But this is only the necessary condition of their significance. The reason they really matter is that they are the single, smallest, richest, cheapest, easiest token of value and meaning online. We mint them. We trade them. We accumulate them. We treasure them. Individually, photos are content coursing through our personal “economies.” They are the single most efficient way to build and sustain our social networks. We gift people with photos. They reciprocate. Hey, presto, a social world emerges. Collectively, photos create a currency exchange. They are a secret machine for seeing, sharing, stapling, opening, sustaining and making relationships. Want to know where networks are going? See who is giving what to whom, in the photo department. Photos are in constant flight. They are a kind of complex adaptive system out of which some of our social order comes.
This was lost on Zuck.
For Zuck, it was all very “all your base are belong to us.” These photos, he appeared to say, they may be precious to you but they belong to me.
So here we go again. Someone finds a way to speak to the consumer’s deepest interest. And what is this? Especially now that our personal networks are mostly put in place?
I would argue that it’s performance. Performance is key to the way in which we now construct and present the social self.
Facebook could have enabled this and, with WhatsApp, it had something really powerful.
But, no, Facebook doesn’t really care about the consumer, or, better, Facebook doesn’t (ever seem to) really care about what the consumer really cares about.
Call it their tragic flaw. Facebook owns the market for a moment, and it has the technology of the moment, but for want of a glimpse of what is happening in culture and the lives of the consumer, it gives up this advantage, and allows someone else to come up out of nowhere and steal the lead.
Really, it’s just astounding.

How Shooting with a Point-and-Shoot Camera Changed the Way I Thought About Photography
|
Let me just start this article by telling you I am a young photographer, and have only been shooting for 4–5 years. With that being said, I’d like to tell you how shooting with a point-and-shoot camera changed the way I thought about photography in such a short period of time.
My Start
When I first started to get into photography, I was actually not the one behind the camera, but rather I stood in front of the camera, as a subject for my brother who was becoming interested in photography. I watched my brother pose me in his images and I would learn to style myself and model in a sense for his photography projects. About a year later, I got my first camera — my brother’s hand-me-down, a Nikon D3300 beginner camera. I started to shoot anything and everything and tried to learn how to develop my photography style. I knew I did not want to copy my brother’s photos and I knew that I didn’t want to take photos like other people; I wanted to capture what I saw, in the way that I saw it in my everyday life.
I began taking my camera lots of places, but I didn’t consider it something that I needed to have on me. It was just a way of expressing myself and I enjoyed meeting new people through it as well.
Learning Photography
Realistically, I should be writing this article after I’ve already learned photography I suppose. But I am writing this article while still in this phase, which I think is quite alright, as most of us are still in this phase.
Regardless, after I began taking photos with my DSLR, I started to read more about photography and learned to look back at older photographers who created incredible bodies of work. For example, I visited a museum while in Berlin, Germany and learned all about William Klein, an American-born, French photographer who used many unconventional techniques in his documentary and fashion photography. I became truly inspired and looked at photography as a whole new medium after seeing this exhibition and learned from that point on to keep digging deeper into the history of photography in order to help myself develop my own style.
Fast-forward a few months and I begin to learn a lot more about analog photography and become interested in shooting film. I decided I didn’t have the budget for film so I started off by buying point-and-shoot disposable film cameras after seeing Curtis Kariuki, an extraordinary photographer and filmmaker from my area do the same thing. I thought his work was incredible and he really had a cool eye with his photography work especially, and when I found out a lot of his photos were taken on these disposable cameras that I could afford and could buy at CVS, I decided to buy my first disposable point-and-shoot. Here are some photos from my first disposable camera:

In Photos: Pope Francis Visits the White House

President Obama, the First Lady, the Vice President, and Dr. Biden welcomed His Holiness Pope Francis this week during his first official trip to the United States. On Tuesday, they greeted him as he landed in the United States. And on Wednesday, they welcomed him to the White House in the largest State Arrival Ceremony since President Obama took office. Check out the Pope’s visit in photos:

Silver hallmarking — what is it?. What is silver hallmarking and why is…
|
What is silver hallmarking and why is so very important. We have hallmarked our silver here in the UK since the twelve Century. So we probably have got the hang of it by now. Yes, that’s right since about 1158. King Edward passed a law requiring all silver to be of at least sterling standard. A purity of 925 parts per thousand, and that it should be tested by the assay system that has continued to thrive for 700 years.
The law made it the responsibility of the Goldsmiths’ Guild to mark all items of sterling standard and above. The first hallmarking was restricted to London city but through time other assay offices were opened. There are offices in Edinburgh, and in Birmingham and Sheffield. The assay offices were established by an Act of Parliament in 1773. Dublin’s assay office has been working since the middle of the 17th century and is still working today. Glasgow’s assay office closed in 1964.
The Importance Of Silver Hallmarking
So, why is hallmarking so important when buying silver. Well, the marks show who made the piece. Also when it was made and where it was made. Probably more importantly that it is truly silver and even what grade of silver. Beware, so much silver imported into the UK from abroad is, a
nd this is controversial, very probably not silver. Or at least not sterling silver 925, let alone higher fineness Britannia silver 958.
The Quality Of Silver
If a silver item is simply stamped 925 this is a guarantee of nothing, any one can obtain a 925 stamp and stamp zinc with a little silver plating as 925 silver. Why zinc you may ask, simple it is a similar colour and malleability to silver especially when polished with a layer of silver plate. So, if it does not have a UK assay office hallmark how do you know it is truly silver — you don’t.
Silver Hallmarking 925
That is not to say that some very small and very light pieces cannot be punched 925 and are in fact 925 silver. Anything Just above 7.5grams in weight does not have to be assayed — now that is very light. Probably not a great piece of silver anyway and cheap because it is very light, and the maker has saved the cost of sending to assay and paying for the guarantee that it is indeed silver. I guess that is OK if you are buying a cheap pair of earrings punched 925 and costing only a few pounds and made in — who knows where!
The Acid Test
Ah you say, surely, I can buy the little acid test bottles and test it myself. Good luck with that, do you know who makes the acid test bottles and are they sold and made by reputable companies. The acid test, if the bottle is genuine, is at best a rough guide. It maybe OK for a pair of cheap cufflinks but not much else. Am I saying they are not entirely accurate — yes that is what I am saying, so please be beware.
The only certain way to be sure you are getting real silver is to buy silver that is hallmarked here in the UK.
Precious metal hallmarking in the UK is the oldest form of consumer protection anywhere in the world. We are very lucky to have it.
So, what does a UK silver hallmark look like, it looks like this –

Photos from the Bike Ban

Photos from the Bike Ban
A look back with the street photography of Carl Hultberg
On July 22, 1987, Mayor Ed Koch held a press conference to announce what came to be known as the Midtown Bike Ban — outlawing cycling from 10 am to 4 pm, Monday through Friday, on Madison, Park, and Fifth, from 31st Street to 59th Street. At that time, a young activist named Carl Hultberg was the unofficial photographer for a precursor to Reclaim called City Cyclist.
According to Hultberg, “Transportation Alternatives was still a mom and pop outfit — and cycling in New York City was chaos.”
“The lady in green is Ruth Messinger, City Council president, a candidate for mayor in 1997. Behind Ruth is John Benfatti, New York City’s first bike coordinator. The ride was organized by Charlie Komanoff for politicians so they could see how trucks were blocking the bike lane. Still a problem, I’m sure.”
Led by its president Charlie Komanoff, Transportation Alternatives immediately took the bike ban to court — while in the streets, a coalition of commuters, recreational cyclists, and bike messengers, led by a charismatic courier named Steve Athenios, protested the ban with twice-weekly traffic-slowdowns: bikes spread across 6th Avenue, blocking all other vehicles and rolling downtown at a snail’s pace.
“That’s Steve Athenios speaking to a crowd of messengers in the little park on the corner of Houston and Sixth Avenue. I must have been standing on the seat of my tricycle to get that high angle. Athenios could really get those guys going.”
“Mayor Koch had been testing the bikers, who had never been able to organize much of anything before,” says Hultberg, who demurs his role in it all. “When the City saw the coordination on the streets of the pro-bicyclists, it made him realize this was a constituency that wasn’t going away.”
Five weeks after the ban was announced, a judge overturned it on a technicality. But Mayor Koch, having seen the organized power of the city’s cyclists, made no effort to try again.
“Steve Athenios, in the center, in white, was meticulous in his organizing of the messengers. The city had no way to deal with a street crowd that had mobility like this. The way Steve looks is a reflection of the way this group took power in the streets. He had a lot to be proud of here. This was the beginnings of Critical Mass.”
Carl Hultberg’s powerful photos of the bike ban document a people-powered protest movement that would not look out of place on today’s city streets, short-shorts aside.
“After Transportation Alternatives and the messengers beat the Bike Ban, I think there was a realization that New York could be a cycling city,” says Hultberg. “When I look at New York City now, it is with disbelief. Millions of bicycles, hot shots dressing up as messengers, bike lanes, bike parking, bike rentals on the street. It’s like our wish list from 1987.”

The President was in the middle of his daily briefing on Thursday when Brian Mosteller, the director of Oval Office operations, abruptly opened the door at 10:10AM.
Knowing a series of Supreme Court decisions were pending, I instinctively switched to my camera with a telephoto lens to zoom in on the President. Brian told the President that, in a 6–3 decision, the Court upheld a critical part of the Affordable Care Act, preserving affordable coverage for millions of Americans.
For one split second, the President’s face was blank as if he was trying to comprehend the news. He then reacted in jubilation.

The President wanted to seek out some other staff members. As he walked into the Outer Oval Office, Chief of Staff Denis McDonough was waiting for him. They exchanged hugs and fist-bumps.

As they were talking, I noticed that the clock in the Oval Office still read 10:10am. But it was actually almost 10:30am.
So, when the briefing finally ended, I asked Denis McDonough to come back into the Oval Office and showed him the clock stuck at 10:10am. I then showed him the back of my camera, where he could see the photo of the President first being told about the decision. The camera time read 10:10am.
What a coincidence on a historic day.

Summer In Lombardy
|
INLOMBARDIA365
A couple of days ago I (Oliver aka Heini) was invited by the Lombardy Tourism Boards inLombardia and Como to Lake Como with a group of other Instagramers and Bloggers to discover the beauty around lake Como.
The Social Media Trip had the theme “NEOCLASSICAL VILLAS, LUSH GARDENS, AND BOAT RIDES AROUND THE JAW-DROPPING LAKESIDE HAMLETS. WELCOME TO LAKE COMO.” Read more about the project and the itinerary of the trip here.
I honestly didn’t know much about this area, but images I looked up and the program suggested looked very promising. And I wasn’t being disappointed.
QUICK FACTS
Lake Como is in the North of Italy very close to the Switzerland boarder. Milan, Lombardy’s capital, is the second-largest city and the largest metropolitan area in Italy. There live around 10 Mio. people in the region of Lomardy (one of them is George Clooney from time to time, who frequently stays at Lake Como). Como, home to Renaissance architecture, is a great starting point for trips around the Lake Como, including stunning water tours (more on this later).
DAY 1: THURSDAY, JULY 13TH
Salice Occhiali
We started the day around 2pm at Milan and went straight to Lake Como, to Gravedona to visit the Salice Occhiali eyeglass fabric. They are a manufacturer of sunglasses and goggles since 1919 and the owner is quite a type. She was smoking her cigarette while explaining us some of the history of the company and praising their achievements.
We had a quick glimpse in the family owned fabric and watched how the googles and sports glasses are made. Quite interesting.
Cardano & Villa Bagatti Valesecchi
From the eyewear fabric we went to the little town of Cardano where we learned a bit of the history of the town and were invited to visit Villa Bagatti Valesecchi. The town is really pittoresque and the view from the Villa is really incredible.
We learned a bit of the history on the Villa and its owners and how much they have done for the region of Lombardy, had the chance to bake some traditional cake/cookies called “Pan de mej”. We finished the visit with a little picnic in the gardens of the Villa enjoying our self baked cookies and the view.
DAY 2: FRIDAY, JULY 14TH
Lenno & Villa del Balbianello
Kicking off the day with some breakfast and then the crew made it way to Lenno, to jump on a water taxi and went straight to Villa del Balbianello. If you wondered why the photos look familiar or the if the name rings a bell. Films like James Bond (Casino Royal) or Star Wars (Episode II Attack of the Clones ) have been filmed here. We got ourself an exclusive tour with a lot of explanation through the entire Villa (and its hidden tunnels. Yes!) and learned why the Villa looks like it looks today and the story of the last owner Guido Monzino (leader of the first Italian expedition to climb Mount Everest). The man has a pretty impressive collection of all kind of art.

Repeating conversations: Facebook
|
This post is mainly targeted at my non-IT folk. Yes they do exist.
Anyway. So I had some repetitive conversations over the last year, and I felt like putting my thoughts to a blog post. The first such a conversation is about Facebook, specifically the claim that Facebook’s apps eavesdrop on human conversations. So here are my reasons why I believe this is extremely unlikely.
How such conversation usually begins
Usually it starts with a friend telling me that they were discussing <X> privately with another person without ever searching for <X> online or reading about it passively. The couple of days later they saw Facebook ads about <X>. Their best explanation is that Facebook has been listening to their conversation and perhaps by “Keyword detection” or some other method discovered that they are interested in <X>.
So why did you talk about <X>? Did you wake up one day and suddenly thought about this new subject / product / topic without any external stimuli? Probably not. Most likely people around you (be it your friends or your general demographic group) talked about it as well, or you have stumbled on the topic <X> in a newspaper or online. But most likely you don’t remember where you first saw it, you only remember later occurrences when it started to repeat itself.
Here are some options for what could be happening:
Facebook was showing you ads for <X> long before you first talked about <X> but you only started noticing them after you had a conversation about it. You are more likely to pay attention to things that you have talked about recently so you would immediately notice an ad for an obscure subject. Ask yourself: if you never had a conversation about <X> would you notice the ad? Or would you simply ignore it?
Or would you simply ignore it? Facebook might be targeting your demographics. The ads are targeted on a very specific criteria. Maybe your friends were targeted before you were and that is why you were talking about it in the first place.
The recommendation engine (that is the thing that decides what ads you will get) are very very very good. The algorithm (no idea what Facebook uses) might group you with people who are similar to you. And these people might have searched for <X>. You are not all that unique. Maybe <X> is a new hip topic for people similar to you. So why not show an ad about <X> to you when people similar to you clicked on it in 87%? These groups tend to be very weird and hard to interpret, your group could be something like “People who liked Titanic in 2008, Listen to Techno, Don’t follow any Memes pages and are between 21 to 25, but not 24.”, even if you don’t know any such people in real life Facebook can still make assumptions about how you would behave based on your (sparsely distributed) group.
Anyway our minds are very strange machines (not really), that have a lot of biases, most likely what you have experienced is Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, (good luck searching for that in two months from now, you will most likely end searching for “two weird German sounding names phenomenon”, its not Dunning-Grugger effect for my feature self), anyway this is also called Frequency illusion. From Wikipedia: “The illusion in which a word, a name, or other thing that has recently come to one’s attention suddenly seems to appear with improbable frequency shortly afterwards”, sounds familiar?
All of the above was just to convince you that there is alternative explanation for what you have experienced and that there is a possibility that Facebook is not spying on you. (More precisely: that Facebook is not spying on you with your phone microphone but other than that Zuck is still the same creep he has always been.)
Is there a way to detect it?
Surprisingly many of my friends have a lot of misconceptions about how Android ecosystem works (Apple’s iOS is very similar in this regard). Here are some assumptions of what would have to be true in order for Facebook to listen on you (on an Android phone):
You have installed either Facebook or Messenger application. (That is you don’t use Facebook in a browser.)
For the sake of argument lets assume that you have installed these Apps through Google Play store.
You have given the app a permission to use your device microphone — a lot of people do in order to use Messenger calls.
You have un-rooted phone, if you don’t know what this means then you probably do.
The above assumptions are not too much to ask for — they hold for the majority of users.
Anyway so you have the app on your phone, but what is an app? Put simply an app is just a long list of instructions for the Android operating system to do things on its behalf. An App can never interact with your phone without operating system knowledge, this model is called Sandbox. Imagine the app execution model as conversation, for example following conversation occurs when you click on messenger app:
OS: Hey, APP, now you are running, what do you wanna do? APP: Oh, hey OS, can you download me a file with previous conversations from Facebook.com server? OS: Sure thing buddy, here it is. APP: OK, now that I have the conversation list can you please draw it as a list? OS: Sure thing bro.
The end result is that you see conversation list. What I wanted to illustrate is that an App can’t really do anything without a silent nod from the operating system (Android). Here is where things get confusing, the operating system does not really know or understand the purpose of the app. All it knows is what the app is allowed to do — use internet, use microphone, use camera… So an app could have a following conversation with the Android operating system:
OS: Hey, APP, now you are running, what do you wanna do? APP: Oh, hey OS, can you turn the microphone now and listen for 5 minutes? LIE: the user wants to have an audio call. OS: Sure thing bro, after all the user gave you permission to use microphone whenever you wish. (OS does not understands what APP does so it has no way of knowing whether User does indeed want to have a audio call right now) APP: Oh thanks bro for that recording, can you now end that recording to Facebook.com? ( so that Zuck can listen to it) OS: Sure thing bro.
So yes, technically speaking it is perfectly possible for Facebook to record you pretty much all the time. But would people notice? Well here’s the thing, with enough expertise (not really all that much) an experienced user is able to completely see and control literally everything the app does (“literally” is not used here as a figure of speech). It can see everything APP asks the OS to do, it can see all of the internet communication it has with Facebook servers (decrypted), it can see whenever the microphone was used and what data it got from it.
An app is similar to a car engine: Imagine buying a new car and trying to understands how the engine works. It would be very helpful if the car company sent you the blueprints of the car and all of its documentation, but they won’t. (Unless they are open source, this is what open source means — that you get the blue prints and plans with the car.)
You can pick the car apart and see exactly how each part interacts with each other and slowly start to understand hot it all works. With enough time you would be able to fully understand all of the details and eventually you could even re-create the blueprints and plans for the engine. This process is called reverse engineering and is quite common especially in software development.
So we are able to conduct following:
verify that the app only uses microphone when engaged in video/audio call
verify that the app is only sending information that user expects it to send
So did anybody did that? Yes! In face people do it all the time, Facebook has a bounty program where it pays “hackers” to find its security vulnerabilities for money (over the last few years FB spent over $6m on the program). Here is 10 year old receiving 10k for few hours of his time. (DO YOU FEEL USELESS NOW? That is because you are — Source). On a side note I bet he got 10k because he was 10 years old, if he was 11 he would probably only got 5k.
So yes, there are people doing reverse engineering of Facebook products and they have not confirmed this behavior at all. And it would be easy enough to spot network activity that happens without any reason.
But don’t take my word for it, Electronic Frontier Foundation already disproved this theory. And they are probably the last organization who would lie about such a thing.
Anyway, I am not saying you should not be creeped out by Facebook, but lets be rational about it.
Other stuff
In the first blog post I talked about buying a new laptop — I did buy it a few weeks ago. After a long deliberation I went for Dell XPS 15 9570.
I discovered a new cool blog: http://devonzuegel.com/
I am really sleepy.
I plan to migrate from Medium to something different — more flexible.
I hope you enjoyed today’s photos. I did really take all of them today, I started taking photos on a bike, so there should be a bit different places from now on.

PhotoBulk a straightforward way to optimize image on Mac
Why to optimize photo? Or simply why to compress image to a specific size? What is compression and when you should use it? These difficult questions can scare a lot of the users. However, everything is not so difficult as it may seem for the first time. This article is aimed to shed light upon such topics as “How to compress image sizes” as well as “What is compression”.
PhotoBulk a straightforward way to optimize image on Mac
First of all, the understanding which image format to use will give you the opportunity to get the most out of it. Some formats are best suited for obtaining the optimal balance of quality and file size when storing your photos, while other types will make it easier for you to recover a damaged image. There are countless image formats, and from time to time new ones also appear. In general, image formats can be divided into 3 large groups — bitmap, vector, mixed or complex.
Vector images are based on geometric shapes — points, curves, circles, polygons. Examples of vector files are .svg, .cdr, .eps. Complex formats, as it appears from the name, have features of both vector and bitmap images. The most famous example of such a format is .pdf files. Surely everyone came across them because many e-books and documents are stored in PDF-format. However, we are more interested in bitmap formats as we often have to deal with them and namely why to optimize photo when uploading it to the Internet.
Besides that, image file formats can be distinguished based on compression effects. There are quite a few types of compression schemes, but the essence of their existence can be reduced to one task — to compress image to a specific size and we are talking about the bitmap file as efficiently as possible. Because compression can very effectively minimize the size of the images just twice or several times. But with this almost always there is a loss in quality since the main compression algorithm is to select several pixels and replace them with one or two similar in shade. A compressed file will never be an exact copy of the original, with some exceptions. File compression is usually suitable for small photos and is not suitable for professional drawings or high-quality illustrations, presentations.
Compressed files are much smaller than the uncompressed ones and are divided into two main categories: “lossy” and “lossless”. Lossless compression ensures the safety of all information about the image, even if the final image size is somewhat larger. Lossy compression, in contrast, can create files that are much smaller but achieve this by selectively discarding image information. The final compressed file is no longer identical to the original. The visible differences between compressed files and their source files are called “compression defects”. That is why to find a good image compressor software is a question of a great concern.
Useful tips when using an image compressor
Save an image using lossy compression only after editing is finished, since many image manipulations can multiply compression defects. Avoid compressing the file several times, because compression defects can accumulate and lead to decreasing of image quality. In such cases, the JPEG algorithm may, as a result, create larger and larger files with a constant compression rate. Make sure that the speckle in the image is minimal, as this will significantly reduce the size of the JPEG files.
Besides that among the reasons for using file compressor apps one can highlight the following:
the size of the image affects the speed of the downloading page;
the loss of image quality if uploading the original one;
image optimization plays an important role in SEO.
There are many compress image Mac solutions that know how to work with bitmap graphics. It is a widespread belief, that in order to prepare graphics for the web, you should use only editors focused on this because only then you can get the most optimized images that will not create an excessive load on your hosting server when they are loaded into users’ browsers. However, it can be rather misleading, as non-professional image optimizer apps can perfectly cope with the task, as for instance, PhotoBulk presented by Eltima Software.

PhotoBulk a quick way to optimize photo on Mac
Despite being a non-professional solution this bulk photo editor copes with the task like a professional one. The app has a rather intuitive, modern and minimalistic interface. There are no needless buttons, icons, moves. This solution can be a cup of tea both for professional users and for the beginners. It should be noted, that in the current version of the app the optimization is implemented without any losses that is to say, that while compression the quality of the photo remains the same without any deteriorations. In addition, while working with PhotoBulk, you can be sure that none of your original images will be corrupted, as the output images are saved separately to the specified by the user folder. Sounds intriguing, doesn’t it? So, let’s move from words to actions and see how this photo optimizer solution works.
Guide on how to compress image sizes
The first necessary thing to do is to download and install the app on your computer. There are two options to download the app:
2. After that install it on your Mac.
3. Drag and drop all the images that require optimization to the editing window of PhotoBulk. There are several ways for moving photos available in PhotoBulk, select the one that appeals the most to you.

4. All the uploaded photos will be shown at the bottom of the app in a filmstrip way.
5. To begin the optimizing process, you need to activate the Optimize option in the sidebar. You can find it in the Postprocessing section. However, pay attention that so far, you can optimize JPG and PNG files only.
6. In order to change the optimization level, you need to move the slider with the help of the mouse by moving it to the left or to the right.
7. Once you are ready with all the settings, hit the Start button.
8. In the appeared window you will need to specify the way for the output images to be saved.
9. And finally, click the “Save” button and wait.
Thanks to image optimizer app for Mac, you will not notice any difficulties in compressing photos, besides that, PhotoBulk can offer you a set of different feature, namely, adding watermark, resizing, converting, keeping metadata or erasing it all.

Photo Print 101 — Changing Formats
Getting the right sized print can sometimes make or break an order. It is understandably frustrating to pick up your prints only to find that the photo won’t fit in its destined frame!
To help prevent such a scenario from playing out, here is a step-by-step guide for making sure the prints you get are exactly the format you intended them to be.
A little reminder: prints are available in five sizes (4x4, 4x6, 5x7, 8x8 and 8x10). For anything bigger, checkout the Photo Print 101 — Posters article.
So here we go — selected images are automatically sized either as a 4x4 or 4x6. You will know which format is currently selected or being modified by the blue line that appears beneath it. To change the size, tap on one of the other photo formats above the picture and either move the image around the frame to position it to your liking or use the + button below the photo to manually indicate the number of copies you wish to order for that sized print.
As formats are changed and added, you will see a number in a blue circle appear next to that size. For example, when changing the format to a 5x7, after using the + button or moving the image, the number 1 will appear next the 5x7. As copies are added and removed, this number will increase or decrease to indicate exactly how many prints are being ordered.
As the 4x4 or 4x6 size is automatically applied when you select a photo, you can remove that format from your cart with the — (minus) button.
We strongly encourage you to preview your order by reviewing which numbers appear in the blue circles and verifying that only the desired formats are chosen.
FAQ — Photo formats
1) Print sizes are measured in inches
2) It is possible to rotate photos so a 4x6 “portrait” style print can also be a 6x4 “landscape” style print
3) Five formats are available: 4x4, 4x6, 5x7, 8x8 and 8x10
Download Photo Print today and your photos will be ready for pickup at a Walgreens near you in under 30 minutes.

How Do Digital Cameras Work?
|
Digital cameras have snapped up a large share of the photography market in the last decade, and film cameras have taken a back seat. While they both capture photos, according to Abes of Maine specialists, the average digital camera is a very different device from a conventional film camera. In its most basic form, a digital camera works by using light sensors to save an image into bits and bytes, a language that computers can read. Photographers can then send, share, and digitally manipulate an image with ease.
How Digital Cameras Capture Images
The basic function of any camera, whether conventional or digital, is to capture an image. Digital cameras work because they use a series of lenses and filters that transfer light onto an electronic sensor. The sensor then records the image as digital data measured in pixels, which affects the resolution (picture quality) of an image.
Digital Camera Sensors
From Abes of Maine point out that in the world of digital cameras, there are two main types of sensors, the charge coupled device (CCD) and the complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS). The easiest way to understand how these sensors work is to picture them covered with thousands or millions of solar cells. Each cell receives a particle of light, records its color, and saves it as a pixel.
CCD vs. CMOS
There are several differences between the two main sensors. A CCD sensor has a reputation for producing a high quality picture with a low amount of noise. In the photography world, “noise” is the small variation of light particles in an image that cause it to appear blurry or grainy according to Abes of Maine experts. CMOS sensors, on the other hand, allow for a greater amount of noise in digital images than CCD. However, CMOS sensors use a small amount of power while CCD sensors use 100 times more power. A CCD sensor can quickly drain a camera’s battery.
Sensor Size
The size of the sensor affects a camera’s resolution. Remember that each sensor contains millions of tiny cells that act as individual pixels. Therefore, a small sensor, such as those used in many compact digital cameras, cannot reproduce the high-resolution levels seen in larger digital SLR cameras because the smaller sensor cannot match the number of pixels found on the larger sensor.
Digital Camera Resolution
From Abes of Maine explain that the type of sensor, whether CCD or CMOS, does not affect the final picture quality nearly as much as resolution. A very low-end or outdated digital camera may have a resolution of 256x256, which adds up to 65,000 pixels. By modern digital camera standards, this is unacceptable. Most modern cameras measure resolution in megapixels, where one megapixel equals 1 million pixels. The higher the megapixel count, the better the camera’s resolution.
The average digital camera has at least 5 megapixels. It is difficult to find new cell phones with cameras that still offer 1, 2, or 3 megapixels according to Abes of Maine specized staff. It is difficult to tell the difference between a 5-megapixel and an 8-megapixel 4x6 photo print. If the photos are enlarged to 16x20 poster size, then the resolution difference matters. Those looking for a camera with true high quality resolution should search for one with at least 10 megapixels.
Professional digital cameras typically contain 16 or 20 megapixels. At this point, digital cameras become equal in photo quality to professional film cameras. A study revealed that a 35 mm film camera produces an image that is the equivalent of 20 megapixels. It is important to judge the quality of a camera by its hardware, not by its name brand, although companies like Canon and Nikon have built reputations for producing quality cameras.
Conclusion
The digital camera is a modern invention that converts captured light into digital photographs. This allows computers to read the image, and it opens the gateway to sharing the pictures online. When it comes to digital cameras, sensor size and resolution are crucial for determining the picture quality of the device. From Abes of Main explain that, this is because the sensor and the resolution play such a big part in how a digital camera works.

Un llamado
|
by Sharon Castellanos for the 2018 Joop Swart Masterclass
This project focuses on diverse profiles of young people (Generation Y) who come from other cities and countries to the Cusco region of Southern Peru and their socio-cultural-spiritual explorations, their reception and appropriation of the local ancestral culture, the Andean worldview and the conception of Pachamama (Mother Earth).
Most of them don’t arrive with this specific search in mind. It’s something that was activated and developed upon experiencing the place. In the beginning, their reasons to come might be to volunteer or do social work, for education exchange, travel or just plain tourism. Along the path, the perspective changes and the sensitivity to the spiritual call emerges.
Wall inside the bio construction house of Hernan Heredia (Lamay, Cusco, Peru).
Cusco, “navel of the world” in Quechua, was the capital of the Inca Empire and its legacy has survived despite the conquest by the Spanish. Nowadays, Cusco receives thousands of people each day from around the world from tourism. It’s a cosmopolitan space with a characteristic architecture mixed between Inca and colonial style, surrounded by mountains that are considered sacred, where the practice of ancestral culture is still alive.
For many people, Cusco is perceived as a space for contemplation and a platform where young people can easily get involved in mysticism and syncretism.
(1) Zoe Carlson (Chicago, USA) walks around Cusilluchayoc, Temple of the monkeys, an important archaeological site considered a sacred place in Cusco city. (2) Matthew Block (Boston, USA) throws a “Kintu”, a group of three coca leaves which represent the three worlds according to Andean worldview. It’s composed to make an offering during rituals, get blessings, protection, ask for permissions.
Hernan Heredia turns on the rocket stove that he hand-built inside his bio construction house in Huchuy Qosqo, a peasant community located in Lamay (Cusco, Peru).
Hernan Heredia (36) was born and raised in Buenos Aires (Argentina) where he used to work in an advertising agency. He left his hometown six years ago, and he went travelling through Bolivia and Peru. In 2016, he moved to Huchuy Qosqo, a peasant community where he constantly searches for low-cost and creative organic living solutions—for example greywater reuse, sawdust toilets, solar showers, organic gardens, etc. Everything is made with recycled materials and native clay, sand and rock from the area. Besides bio-construction and permaculture, he also works as a graphic designer, photographer and videographer.
He says he feels a strong connection with the Andes because of the geography and local culture which is still alive after 500 years.
Zoe Carlson smokes mapacho inside Cusilluchayoc, Temple of the monkeys, an important archaeological site considered a sacred place in Cusco city. Mapacho is an organic tobacco and it may be blown as a form of cleansing. It’s usually present as part of traditional ceremonies in the Andes and the Amazon.
Zoe Carlson (25) was born in Evanston, Illinois, and she grew up in Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. Then she moved to New York to study art history. She came to Calca (Cusco) for the first time in July 2017 to learn about art knit, symbology and the principles of the Andean worldview. She returned to Cusco to participate as a volunteer in a textile center and learn more about indigenous knowledge. She then lived in “Healing house,” a spiritual community.
In her opinion, many foreign young people could prefer to live in Cusco because it’s a place where there’s a big spiritual community and the local people are open to sharing information about the culture. She also thinks some people could have deep questions about life or they may be facing the “quarter-life crisis”. In that sense, Cusco could represent a space to discover themselves, a kind of freedom, an exploration… She says, she finds another way to live and she feels a shared and a welcoming energy.
She has stayed eight months in Cusco.

Crossing the Pongo de Mainique, an important sacred canyon for the Machiguenga native community.
Matthew Block (28) also known as Campesino Mateo (rural farmer Mateo) was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Before Cusco, he studied economics and international business, and worked on over 20 organic farms and permaculture sites in the US. Since he arrived in 2014 to Quillabamba, on the jungle side of Cusco, he has lived and worked on many family farms learning how to cultivate coffee, cacao (chocolate), and other plants. He has gotten involved in the practice of Pachamama offering ceremonies and he has learned some Quechua vocabulary (traditional language of the Incas) as well. Currently, he manages his own company and supports the organic agriculture in the region.
From his perspective, nowhere is the spirit, beauty and authenticity of traditional cultures reflected more strongly than on the land, in direct contact with Pachamama (Mother Earth).
He has stayed four years in Cusco.

How To Deal With Difficult Clients

How To Deal With Difficult Clients
Have you ever gone into a photoshoot with a smile on your face, and came out an hour later ready to pull your hair out? Don’t worry, we’ve all been there. Difficult clients may make you want to throw your camera out the window, walk away, and never look back, but it’s important to remain calm in these situations. It’s inevitable that you will stumble upon a few frustrating clients, so it is best to learn how to deal with sticky situations rather than avoiding them entirely. To help you with this, here is our best advice for dealing with difficult clients.
Acknowledge their feelings.
Whether or not you believe their actions are justified, it is vital that you acknowledge how your client is feeling. Try focusing on their emotions and work with them to come to a reasonable solution. Although it may be difficult, avoid letting your own emotions spiral out of control, for it could upset your client more, and hurt your business’s reputation. For example, if they are angry that they have not received their photos yet and constantly pester you to work faster, ensure them that their feelings are normal and reasonable, and establish a timeline to make them feel more comfortable. Perhaps offer solutions like uploading photos onto Photos of Us as you finish editing each one, or send them updates so they don’t feel out of the loop. A little bit of communication and sympathy can go a long way.
Take a deep breath.
It is very easy to let stress get the best of you, especially in the heat of the moment. However, it is important to take deep breaths as you listen to your client express their thoughts, feelings, and opinions. Doing so will not only help you think more rationally, but it will also make your overwhelmed client feel comfortable knowing they are being heard. Although you may feel pressured to respond to their concerns immediately, it’s okay to take a moment to collect your thoughts as you mull over some reasonable solutions.
Don’t take offense.
Remember not to take offense to your client’s behaviors. You can never be sure of their home or work situations. For instance, it is possible that they also had a stressful day at work; perhaps their boss yelled at them and they are transferring their feelings of frustration towards you. This is very common, and should be considered when analyzing clients with extreme reactions and emotions.
Make it right.
Sometimes we are the one in the wrong, and it is perfectly okay to admit that. In these instances it is important that we fix our mistakes. For example, if you haven’t delivered your client’s photos on time, offer them a discount as an apology and share any completed photos of them to show that you are working to get their photos finished. You can also consider offering a guarantee if you don’t have one already. Having one will encourage you to stick to your goals, and will put your clients at ease.
Be the bigger person.
After being yelled at, your automatic instinct may be to defend yourself. It is important, however, that you refrain from doing this. While being confronted by an angry client, show that you are listening actively rather than mentally preparing a rebuttal. Here are a few tips on how to do this:
Put aside distracting thoughts
Do not interrupt
Make eye contact
Use phrases like “I understand…”
Ask clarifying questions
Emphasize their points to show understanding
Maintain an open and welcoming posture (sit up-right and don’t cross your arms)
Actively listening will help you develop appropriate solutions, as well as make your client feel comfortable and cared for, thus improving the situation as well as your relationship.
Find common ground.
Focusing only on the points you disagree on will get you nowhere; it will increase the tension between you two and decrease the likelihood of reaching a resolution. Instead, start by going through what you do agree on, and discuss the situation from there. For example, if your client is angry about how their photos came out, have them address specifics and note those that you agree with. Perhaps you also think the lighting in one of the photos is too dark, or the background was too blurry in another shot. Let your client know that you’re on the same page, and discuss possible options such as getting together for another shoot, or editing the photos differently. Your client will be very pleased that you are taking their concerns into consideration, and will be more likely to recommend you to someone they know.
When taking this tip into consideration, however, it is important that you don’t just agree with your client for the the sake of agreeing, because this can add fuel into the fire. Instead, acknowledge their opinions and only agree with the points you truly believe are justified.
Be very specific.
Something that often upsets clients is the lack of concrete details. When it comes to photography this typically involves communicating concrete prices, plans, and timelines. If a client is distressed by the bad weather on the day of their outdoor photoshoot, provide them with a detailed plan of how you will adapt to this. Knowing that you have a plan rather than being ensured that “We’ll figure it out”, or “It will be fine”, will calm your client down.
Recognize personality conflicts.
Perhaps you tried all of these tips and nothing seems to work. You and your client simply cannot agree or get along no matter how hard you try. In situations like this, you must reflect upon whether or not you are the right fit for one another. Photographers aren’t “one-size fits all”, so it is possible that you will have to part ways. In this case, try recommending other photographers that you believe will be a good fit for them. Your client will appreciate your honesty and your dedicated effort to help them find what they are looking for.
We hope that you don’t have to deal with difficult clients too often, but if you do, try putting these tips into practice. We’re sure you’ll be glad you did! If you have any other tips, tweet them @photos_of_us, we’d love to hear them!

A Photo That Captures an Entire Period of American Political History
|
Source: Huffington Post
This photo struck me as ICONIC. Could be used in the history books of the future to depict an entire juncture in American history and politics. This will endure long past the caricatures of bitter cartoonists, for sure. I’ll tell you why.
The hands poised like a man who “tells it like it is” or, rather, is about to “tell YOU how it is”. The Strong Man, sturdy stance, mouth open. Could be bluster, could be buff, that is for the viewer to read-in.
The media clamoring to re-post and headline his latest tweets, shoving microphones in his face, desperate to hear every self-righteous take on any and all days of the week, at any and all hours. Taking personal and deep offense at being cut off, as if access to him was their lifeline, their raison d’etre.
The perfect image of an institution locked in the patterns of Stockholm Syndrome, lambasted and persecuted by the man but can’t stay away, longing more and more intensely for the attention of the abuser — forcing the rest of the nation to watch them as they keep going back for more and more, only to face more and more lambasting and hostility from the man whose every word their mental grounding clings to.
Bombs and shooters approach their offices, and they look to him to “tell it like it is”, so they can run around in circles re-processing and fixating on every word and tweet. It’s not their fault, to an extent — although some self-awareness could sure go a long way. It’s just how abusers work.
They want to rile you up and get a reaction, so they can then use your reaction to beat you upside the head and coerce you into submission — to treat you with active engagement and undermining hostility, to keep you depending on their every word for your relative sense of security.
His criticisms of the media will simply be lost beyond the objectives he actually accomplishes with that rhetoric — no one will remember what was “fake news” — because at the end of the day, and at the end of his term, the media was always there, hanging on his every single word, loyal through thick and thin to spreading his every message and platforming him from the beginning of his campaign to the bitter, bitter end.
The Media could never bear to leave his side, and they at least felt and behaved as if they were nothing, without him, if it was not actually true in fact. This was the power of the Trump regime — an iron curtain of THIS STANCE, and the media, in lock-step, inseparable, and this is how the nation was led for x amount of years during this period.
This is America — this photo is fantastic

Where Your Birthday Marks Your Fate

Where Your Birthday Marks Your Fate
For centuries, an astrology has affected the lives of millions of Indian women. Explore the complicated idea of Mangal Dosha.
Words by Eliot Stein
Portfolio by Julia Sellmann
ARTIST JULIA SELLMANN has always been fascinated by the fringes of spirituality and society. She’s ventured to Siberia to photograph a former policeman who claims to be the Messiah and traveled to South Korea to shoot a 6,000-person mass wedding. Last November, Sellmann visited Kolkata, India, to bring a complicated and controversial system of beliefs into focus.
Sellmann had been inspired by a documentary that followed a group of Indian couples as they prepared for their wedding day. To please their families, each pair had consulted an astrologer to confirm that their birth charts aligned and, above all, that the bride wasn’t “manglik.”
Indian astrologers determine a person’s birth chart by mapping the date, time, and location of one’s birth against the position of the planets and constellations. If Mars is in a particular position at birth, an astrological condition called Mangal Dosha, that person is considered manglik. These men and women are believed to share the fiery, aggressive traits of the planet’s namesake, the Roman god of war. But whereas for men this is considered a virtue, in women it is more akin to an affliction. Marrying a manglik woman is often believed to negatively impact a man’s career, happiness, even health.
In 2006, India’s tabloid press was transfixed when it was reported that Indian actress, model, and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai ritually married a tree in order to protect her fiancé, Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan, from her manglik status — an allegation his family has since denied.
“The idea of Mangal Dosha seemed dreamlike to me,” Sellmann says. “Had I not seen it myself, I wouldn’t have been sure if it was reality or fiction. I wanted to awaken the same thought in viewers’ minds when looking at my work.”
After a Kolkata colleague put Sellmann in touch with several local astrologers and manglik women, she embarked on solo trips to Jaipur, Tarapith, and the sprawling West Bengal capital to capture how this ancient belief mixes myth and reality in modern Indian society.
“I became interested in capturing this abstract idea in a photographic way,” Sellmann says. “I found that it’s not something you ever talk about in public, yet everyone has an opinion on it. It’s both everywhere and invisible.”
After meeting many manglik women and photographing ten, varying in age from a newborn to a 90-year-old, Sellmann realized that while the idea of Mangal Dosha is unique to Indian culture, the underlying impulse to make sense of our lives is universal.
1) Uma, a divorced manglik mother, poses in a field near Naihati. Sellmann asked a friend to cover one of her eyes, a reference to the way astronomers peer through telescopes. Though her marriage had problems, Uma believes she is solely responsible for her divorce.
2) Beside a Hindu temple, Sellmann met six women performing a prayer ritual around a bodhi tree. Since manglik women are often advised to ritually marry a bodhi tree before wedding their spouses (it is thought that the negative impact of being manglik affects only one’s first husband), Sellmann saw a parallel and asked if she could photograph them.
3) Sellmann photographed Chaitali in front of the Howrah Bridge as birds swarmed overhead. “She’s convinced that if she doesn’t do her prayers, the energy of Mars will affect her married life,” says Sellmann. Chaitali fasts every Tuesday and wears red coral to ward off Mars’s energy. “I found that women who really believe in Mangal Dosha will connect their problems to the fact that they’re manglik,” she says. “It is another way for human beings to explain bad luck. It’s a combination of science, belief, and love, and that makes it so very interesting.”
4) Sellmann met a boy, dressed as the god Shiva, begging on a train to the Tarapith Temple. Shiva is the Hindu god of creation and destruction, and manglik women are advised to pray to him to calm Mars’s energy. Shiva is typically depicted as tall and muscular. “Seeing this little boy reminded me of a child dressed as Superman,” says Sellmann.
5) A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world’s largest sundial, Jantar Mantar is a collection of 19 astronomical structures built in the 18th century to observe the stars and planets. Instead of photographing the real thing, Sellmann found this small model at the site more compelling. “Often, an abstract structure is more interesting than what you see in real life,” she says. “It gives a more mysterious layer to the story.”
6) “For believers, an astrologer is a combination of a doctor and a psychotherapist,” says Sellmann. Before telescopes, astrologers, such as Sabyasachi Bhattacharya, meditated for hours on end and performed hand movements called mudras, thought to encourage energy flow and to help them visualize the stars and planets.
7) In addition to Shiva, manglik women are advised to pray to Hanuman, the monkey god, to calm Mars’s aggressive energy. After observing that families throughout Kolkata lived with monkeys, Sellmann asked one if she could photograph theirs. “Their hut was too personal to include, so we found a photo studio and asked if we could bring the monkey. I was convinced the owner would say no, but I really like the simplicity of the backdrop.”
8) Sanjukta, a young manglik woman, gets made up on her wedding day. According to astrologers Sellmann interviewed, many young women no longer believe in Mangal Dosha but agree to consult with astrologers before their marriage to appease their families. “This is when many women discover that they’re manglik,” Sellmann says. “If it’s an arranged marriage, some families will call it off.”
9) When her husband lost his job because of health issues, Madhuchchanda was convinced it was her fault that he could no longer work. It struck Sellmann that her husband doesn’t believe in Mangal Dosha and in no way blames her for his health.
10) Sellmann sees a parallel between crows, a negative omen in her native Germany, and Mangal Dosha. While wandering through an area of Kolkata where effigies of deities are fashioned out of straw, she spotted this crow seated on the unfinished arm of a statue.
11) The more Sellmann spoke to astrologers and manglik women, the more she appreciated the complexity of Mangal Dosha. This photograph of friends playing cat’s cradle represents her view that manglik women are entangled in a web of astrology, religion, and modern society. “It remains held together by those who believe in it,” Sellmann says.
12) When Avishmita, here cradling her newborn, and her husband consulted an astrologer, he only gave them four out of ten compatibility points and advised them not to marry. “They had to perform a set of rituals,” Sellmann says. “They did it to please their families.”

Photography Tips For Beginners

Photography Tips For Beginners
So, you’ve finally decided to do it. You’ve either shelled out the money for a fancy new camera, or you’ve simply picked up your iPhone and thought, “Today is the day I’m going to start my photography journey.” Well congrats! Taking that first step to become a photographer takes a lot of motivation. We know that right now you are probably feeling a little lost and confused about where to start, but don’t worry, we’re here to help! Here are our top 7 photography tips for beginners:
Get to know your camera.
Whether you’re experimenting with portrait mode on your phone or playing around with the shutter speed on your Canon, it is important that you learn how these features affect the final shot. This means you need to set aside lots of time to practice. First, start out by experimenting with one feature at a time, then as you learn how to utilize the various features your camera has to offer, start testing out various combinations. Try incorporating a 100mm zoom with a 1/100 of a second shutter speed, or try taking photos at different times of the day while playing around with your camera settings. Remember, there are no wrong answers when it comes to photography, whether or not you’re pleased with your shots is what matters the most.
Take your camera everywhere.
Don’t ever miss the perfect photo-op. We suggest taking your camera everywhere you go, so you are always ready to get the perfect shot. If your camera is cumbersome, try using a camera strap! Although they make look and feel weird at first, you’ll be glad you invested in one. Camera straps allow you to quickly grab your camera, rather than awkwardly fumbling through your bag, so you’ll never miss the perfect photo opportunity. Not sure where to get one? Check out this camera strap from Amazon.
Shoot everyday.
Think about photography the same way you think about brushing your teeth. In order to maintain proper oral hygiene you must brush your teeth everyday, multiple times a day. The same goes for photography. If you want to improve your photography skills, you must practice consistently. Maybe you’re going for a walk and you notice a unique wall covered in graffiti; snap a pic of it! Try to look for cool visuals that strike your fancy each day, and photograph them so you can improve through repetition.
Here’s another pro tip: print out a few photos each month, so you can look back and evaluate your progress. Doing this will help you physically see how you have improved as a photographer, and will keep you motivated.
Experiment with manual modes.
Don’t let your camera do all the work for you. Instead, move to manual mode and take control. This is one of the biggest steps you will take as a photographer. Switching the power from the camera to the photographer will feel daunting at first, but with practice you’ll be glad you took the leap. Your eye is better than the camera’s (we promise), so overtime you will learn how to manually adjust your camera settings to take the perfect photo!
Save some money.
Photography is an expensive hobby, so we recommend saving money whenever you can. If you’re looking to buy a new high-quality camera, try purchasing a used one instead. Doing this may save you hundreds of dollars, and you will still have access to a professional grade camera. A few places to find excellent used cameras include: Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and LetGo.
Along with this, try acquiring your additional equipment slowly and carefully. Avoid buying into a particular system of equipment to reduce the risk of future switching costs and compatibility issues. Also, remember there is no particular piece of equipment that will make your photography perfect. Improving your photography is all about practice, patience, and research.
Ask for help.
If you’re just starting out, you will not know everything there is to know about photography. Even if you conduct countless hours of research and practice everyday, there is always room to grow. This is when asking for advice comes into play. Similarly to when you want someone to proofread an essay before submitting it, you want someone else to take a look at your shots and provide feedback on how you can improve your work. The best people to seek out are other photographers, because they have been through the same learning process as you. Consider joining photography groups on Facebook like this one, and ask other members to provide constructive criticism on your photos. Members are always happy to provide detailed advice and praise, and don’t forget to do the same for them!
Share your work.
Remember that shot you took yesterday…WOW, now that was a great snap! Sometimes, however, sharing a photo you are proud of can feel a little nerve racking. As you consider posting it on Instagram or Photos of Us, you may start to over-analyze your work. You think, “Maybe I should’ve used a different lense,” or “The lighting might be a little too bright in this shot.” The best advice we can give you is to go for it and own the shots you love. Not everyone is going to be your biggest fan, but that’s okay! Being proud of your own work is what is the most important to your individual success.
We hope that you find these tips to be useful! Let us know if you put any of them into practice, or tweet any additional tips you have to @Photos_Of_Us! Happy snapping!

Why Your NFT May Not Sell

Why Your NFT May Not Sell
Insights about how to drive more NFT sales
As a heads up, I don’t claim to have all the answers. I don’t have a Fidenza, nor a Bored Ape. I’m not a Cool Cat, nor do I have a podcast about NFTs. One day, I hope to have some of these things (and more)…
For now, I am a market participant who has been in dozens of discord, written, hundreds of tweets, minted many cool NFTs, engaged with numerous artists, etc. At the end of the day, I identify as a maker, a designer, and a marketer. It’s through these lenses that I wanted to write this post, which I hope will help shed some light on the difficulties some collections seem to face.
Through learning from each other—measuring twice and sawing once—I believe we can create an even better space for years to come.
With that out of the way, here are my insights:
Artist is Not Well Known
This is inevitable for many new artists. If a new artist is not well known, then there is a high likelihood that people will pass on art, even if it’s good. It’s the chicken and egg problem.
I know, me myself, I will look at how popular an artist is on social media as one of many purchasing factors.
If the art is great, in the eye of the consumer, then there’s a good chance a buyer may come along and buy some of a collection, but this is a big if.
One of the ways I’ve seen artists become more well known is by using giveaways to boost social signals, and contributing to the broader community. Many artists are able to build out larger profiles simply by being helpful, sharing their art, recording process videos, etc.
Another big way that artists generate notoriety is by doing things differently,—offering a unique take on what’s currently available—and offering utility to holders (more on this towards the end of this post).
@GxngYxngNFT’s story of a relatively unknown artist pricing work at 0.001 Ξ to NFT stardom is a perfect example of how these different methods can be used to enhance popularity.
Lack of Social Media Presence
Related to my previous point, a huge part of the NFT space is driven by social media — so much so that if an artist doesn’t have a social media presence, people may question the validity of their project.
A lonely activity button on OpenSea
For the most part, I’ve seen Twitter and Discord as two main sources of information in the space.
Discord and Twitter represent a way for potential consumers to get in touch with artists in ways that many other platforms can not. Some consider communication with a real person in their decision-making process towards supporting a project.
Not everyone can spend time managing social media, nor have the time and ability to do so. Without having an online social media presence, though, many people will simply pass on a project.
Lack of Community
Even with social media accounts, some artists neglect the community-building aspect of social media.
A small but necessary ritual
More than ever, people want to feel like they are a part of something. If they go into a Discord channel and see a handful of people with no recent chats, they may pack up their bags and go elsewhere.
Engaging with potential consumers can be a great way to bolster confidence and get more people excited about their project. Even if it’s not monetary support, word-of-mouth can go a long way in terms of getting NFTs to sell.
Using bots that welcome new users can be an easy solution to providing a welcoming atmosphere, until an artist or moderator can get in and chat personally.
Social media can be hard, but once it gets going, it can be hard to stop.
Interviews of large Web 2.0 companies have shown that it just takes a dozen or so active users to create communities that don’t feel empty. With a little elbow grease, a community can turn from crickets chirping into something vibrant and ever-growing.
Supply Exceeds Demand
One big detriment to sales is a potential collector coming across a huge supply.
The collector navigates to a collection and sees a wall of “unpurchased” NFTs. They see something they might like, but ultimately decide to leave.
Having a huge supply might seem like a good thing at first as people have selection, but in this market, many people will leave when faced with high supply(as they often want to see some appreciation in value of their purchase).
One of the signals that collectors may look at is the rate by which a few purchases can significantly boost the floor price:
If a floor price is currently set at 0.05 Ξ, and there are dozens of pieces roughly around this price range before 1 Ξ, it will take collectors a while to chip away at the floor until a larger valuation is found. In another case, imagine that there are a similar number of items in a collection but that the lowest floor prices are 0.05 Ξ, 0.1 Ξ, 0.5 Ξ, and 1 Ξ. A buyer may find this collection more attractive because a single floor purchase moves the entire floor price by significant multiples.
Roadmaps have a weird way of both helping and helping NFT projects. They can help provide some clarity in terms of direction, how many items in a collection there will be, when drops will happen, etc. They often can create a struggle for artists who, in striving to maintain a regular posting cadence, fail to take into account increasing supply.
Each week, new pieces may come out, but if they’re not being purchased, supply increases and the desire for many to purchase diminishes.
Some good practices I’ve seen are resisting a regular cadence/roadmap (unless demand is being met, of course), and sometimes posting once a week or only when there is demand. The upside of focusing on a smaller set of NFTs is that one can more easily market them and make the NFTs feel special.
Looks… Not so Rare
Art is subjective. Is this valuable? Is this rare?
Some NFT collections that don’t sell well fall into a category where most pieces look mostly alike. Tell me which of my eyeballs looks rare?
I spent more time on these images than I should have…
If you had said the last one, you’d be correct because it is a downward-facing eyeball (although ultimately because I decided that it was rare). Sometimes, artist will use color as a differentiator, but this often creates a similar situation where rarity can be hard to distinguish.
Again, which is the rarest?
Who here has red eyes?
This time, the first one, red, is rarest again, because red is the first color in ROYGBIV. Hopefully, you can see how color doesn’t help that much in terms of clearly making an NFT feel rare.
Take a look at this last set of images. Which one is rare?
“Looks rare”
In a way, they all feel rare. The first one is simple, which could be thought of as a rare trait. The second image has a lot of angles. The third image as a dot that’s offset.
The goal is for each NFT in a collection to look rare, so that people can apply their own sense of value without distraction.
Rarities Not Left to Imagination
Sometimes collections will state rarity, which seems to betray the fact that every NFT in a collection should be “rare.”
Sometimes the rarity is listed in the metadata or in the title.
Sometimes, rarity is even included as a part of the graphical representation of the token.
Five stars = so rare!
Sometimes artists list rarity as a way of artificially making something feel more special.
Sometimes rarity is a measure of how much work something took to complete: an animated GIF might be more rare than a static image in the same collection.
Many collectors inevitably want to collect the NFTs that are rare.
If an artist says that X tokens are rare, and the rest are common, more likely than not the rares will be bought out, and the commons will be left.
Future buyers that come along will see that there are rares in a set, only to find that they’ve been bought up. If the commons don’t look significantly special enough for a person to buy them, they will move on.
Exceptions to this concept of defining rarities might be editions and thousand-plus PFP collections. 1:1’s will naturally be more rare than any multiple as only one person can own that token, but the NFT itself does not have to state that a 1:1 is rare.
For PFP collections, collectors often want trait lists and counts to be able to more easily determine what is rare and what is not. Collectors can look through thousands of NFTs, but that’s often not appealing to do manually. While collectors can look at percentages to determine rarity, it doesn’t seem to help to list rarity level as a trait.
Here are a few collections where every piece, as a collector, looks super rare: Ilyakazakov, Arq Skulls, and Drooling Bear.
Collection Continuity
When people are viewing collections, they often want to understand what makes a collection a collection. I can say this broad swath of work below is a collection, but it can hard to see why:
Thanks Blitmap!
Maybe I do pixel work. Maybe I do geometric art. These should probably separate collections so that people viewing any one of these items can understand the relation with each other—and determine value:
Bet you thought you’d seen the last of me.
It’s much easier to come to a conclusion of value if items in a collection are more related than they are different.
Long Long Cat is a fun collection that does things right when it comes to continuity. All of these cats fit, even though they run the gamut between 404 error to rice ball.
Marketing Too Hard
This is one difficulty that has a ton of nuance to it.
Imagine an artist replying to various threads out there with their collection to get the word out. The same post is made again and again.
While this might be good to get more eyeballs on a project, collectors may see this and wonder if the project has merit or demand even.
Though it’s good to be self-promoting, it’s even better if promotion can come organically from collectors or those interested in the project.
Many of the collections that continuously sell out have a wild and steadfast following that is more than willing to share the virtues of a project with others.
Marketing Too Little
The flip side of marketing too hard, is not really marketing at all. I’ve heard of many collections that decided not to advertise on proper channels because they thought word of mouth would carry them to victory.
In a crazy NFT bull market, this may be the case, but this may also be the exception to the rule.
Properly selling a collection can make the difference between a drop with gas wars and a drop with crickets chirping.
Some of the best collections that I’ve seen market well are ones that drum up excitement. Maybe there is a new collection coming. Weeks, if not months before, these collections are already dropping hints of something big to come.
Maybe there is a blacked out version of an NFT in a collection, maybe there is a puzzle that is created for followers to solve that will provide a clue to the collection.
I may not know what this is, but I sure want to find out.
There’s any number of ways to drive up interest and get people waiting at the door when it comes time to drop.
Convoluted Marketing Assets
Sometimes the best marketing is simply putting the piece up for others to see.
Too often, images that are posted to social media are complicated, have tiny versions of the actual art, and run into the issue of advertising supply versus demand.
Sometimes, this is done to show how much of a collection has been sold. Having sold on a bunch of individual items is cool, but it doesn’t allow people to easily see what has been sold or what is left to buy.
If an NFT has animation, it should be shown in the marketing asset used. Static images are just doing a disservice to the art.
If multiple items are being posted in a collection, it may be good to just post a select few items at once or even do multiple posts where each piece is showcased with added commentary.
There’s no need to get really technical, but if one is creating a specialized format for posting art, then there’s info about this.
I really like how @artistthebob has created a template that showcases the art in a way that is uniquely them:
Here’s a giveaway template
Here’s a template featuring the two available NFTs for the day
This artist doesn’t overcomplicate things, allowing the art to shine!
Self-Minting
I’ve seen many projects out there that are generative, but the mints occur singularly by an individual artist. It’s so easy, in this case, to only mint the outcomes that seem favorable as opposed to what many in the space enjoy—NFTs that are generated visually at mint by collectors.
Many of these collections end up, not only having a huge supply issue to deal with, but also no real way to verify minting claims. In the end, hundreds, if not thousands of NFTs sit with hardly any collectors willing to buy.
The solution I’ve seen here is to put the minting in the hands of collectors. The NFTs are placed directly into users’ wallets, who are then responsible for assigning their own value to the tokens.
Style is Too Niche
Oftentimes, artists will create art that speaks to their own interests—which is great. Sometimes those interests don’t exactly align with what collectors want.
This is where some artists run into issue. This doesn’t mean that the art is bad (the art objectively can be amazing), it just means that the pool of available collectors willing to buy the art gets smaller and smaller the more niche the art becomes.
People love eyeballs, right?
The value of art is determined by everyone’s unique preferences. If a collector likes cats, but not dogs, cats are going to be more valuable.
An artist that has a dog collection, probably won’t capture the interest of the cat person as much—translation, fewer sales.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that an artist should not create art that is very niche like photorealistic plants made from ASCII characters with googly eyes, but it should be noted that the available pool of interested collectors gets smaller the more niche art becomes.
Lack of Hodlers
Another reason that items in NFT collections fail to sell is a lack of collectors wanting to hodl their investment. Some of the hottest collections out there suffer from flippers looking to buy low and sell for a modest or even high profit.
People quickly getting in and out presents a situation where, all too often, collectors who would otherwise want to hold onto a piece are priced out. This leads to a situation where, if there isn’t enough demand still, floors drop little by little until a buyer is found.
Collectors generally don’t want to see a dropping floor (nor be priced out), so many will move on.
Some of the best collections out there get art in the hands of collectors who want and will retain them for as long as they can.
Probably the best situation to be in is to have art that a collector will seriously reconsider after selling.
CryptoPunks and BAYC are both in the same category (albeit on the extreme side) of an NFT collection where owners seriously need to consider the repercussions of selling due to the community, utility, and notoriety involved in holding.
Blockchain Choice
If Tezos is a lithograph, then Ethereum must be high-quality stretched canvas.
Besides what statement choosing a chain tells, people use blockchains that they are familiar with. A large majority of these users currently use Ethereum as their main source of NFT activity. Of course, Ethereum comes with issues of high gas fees and periods of unsustainable activity.
gg to anyone trying to transact during the The Sevens mint
Layer 2 solutions like Polygon aim to solve the issue of gas, but usage is dependent on users bridging their Ethereum over and transacting in Eth on Polygon.
For now, activity on various chains is isolated, which means choosing a good chain is key. Even with the gas savings involved by using Polygon, there may be fewer collectors with Eth on Polygon and fewer willing to make that bridge to Polygon.
Language Barrier
If people can’t understand what an artist is creating, it may be hard for people to get on board with what that artist is offering. Sometimes art can transcend the barriers presented by language, but many collectors will often want to come back to some kind of understanding of where the value is.
For many collections, the value comes in terms of the community and vision of how a project will unfold (wen roadmap). If someone joins a discord and they aren’t able to really communicate with anyone there, it may be hard for collectors to want to hang around, even if the future is grand.
To Link or Not to Link
There are many collections that get promoted online, but some of these promotions come without a link. Inevitably, someone interested in the collection has to search for a link or ask for it from the person posting.
It should be common practice to include a link in these types of posts (either within the post itself or as a comment), so that people can easily access a collection.
Using Unfamiliar Links
Speaking of linking to a collection, another subsets of posts advertising collections provide links, but do so in a way that is suspect at best.
Many in social media use link shorteners as a way of reserving characters for content, as opposed to long urls.
On Twitter, ever since the limit of 140 characters was changed to 280, using a link shortener hasn’t been as necessary.
Still, some on social media prefer to use link shorteners like Bitly, which provide a shortened link that redirects to a designated url.
In a space rife with scams, using links that aren’t easily understood can provide more questions than they are worth. It’s so easy to use a link shortener to direct to a fraudulent website, all because the user wasn’t able to validate the domain name and url structure.
Pricing
Most collectors want to see some kind of return on investment. Calculating what a potential return may be ultimately involves understanding the price purchased and what the value may be in the future. As a result, price is a huge factor in determining whether an NFT gets sold.
Price too high and people may not want to make a purchase.
I don’t see why people would pay so much for this NFT.
= low demand, high price
Price too low and people may wonder about the value that is being provided.
Seems like no-one is interested in this art even though it’s super cheap.
= low demand, low price
As a conundrum, price it on the higher side and people may see potential for a higher ROI.
Looks like whales enjoy this type of art. I want to get in.
= high demand, high price
Similarly, price it on the cheaper side and people may think that the price is a steal (ie. realizes a higher potential ROI).
Who wouldn’t want to buy this NFT at this price? It’s easily worth 20x.
= high demand, low price
The difference between these situations is demand. Pricing should be a function of demand.
If there is higher demand, then price can probably be increased.
I’ve even seen some Discord chats where members mention to the artist that their NFTs are worth so much more than what is being charged. This might be collectors trying to protect a floor price, but it could also speak to collectors seeing value that an artist might not yet understand.
If there is little demand, it may be wise to start at a lower price point or consider holding off on increasing supply (until demand reaches supply at least). This is where desire to satisfy a roadmap sometimes runs into conflict with generating more sales.
Pricing overall is a pretty intricate balancing act, but one that seems to get easier the more collectors are involved.
After all… more collectors creates a large community, which creates more people who can market a project, who bring in more collectors…
Pricing Relative to Gas and Changing Currency Value
I wanted to add this additional section, since it’s become apparent that people are less likely to buy when transaction fees are high. It also appears that though 1 Ξ = 1 Ξ to many, for new entrants, 1 Ξ = whatever entry price they can get (making buying at higher Eth levels harder to justify).
I’ve seen many collections with starting prices in the 0.01 Ξ to 0 Ξ range.
Many of these collections don’t have buyers currently.
Why?
Even for a free mint or free purchase, the buyer is looking at using around 200,000 gwei at a gas price of around (say) 100 to process the transaction. The resulting cost is 0.02 Ξ on top of whatever the price of the token was.
The collector needs to have even stronger conviction in a project or artist to justify the fees since the fees are more expensive than the NFT itself. Even in a case where the token is more expensive that 0.02 Ξ, the amount of Eth consumed by gas can represent a significant portion of future gains.
On the value of Ethereum increasing (or decreasing for that matter) relative to the price Eth was purchased at, new collectors will look at a price like 0.1 Ξ differently than those who have been in the space for some time. 0.1 Ξ may be $4, $40, or $400 depending on when Eth was purchased.
Thus, in terms of sentiment, for the $4 collector, purchasing an amazing piece for 0.1 Ξ may make total sense. For the $400 person though, maybe not so much.
One solution to gas and increasing Ethereum prices has been migrating new work to L2’s like Polygon or moving to alternative chains like Tezos or Solana. Here, gas fees are much lower and the currency price seems to be more stable, for now.
It will be interesting to see how gas fees and changing prices continue to have an impact on the NFT market, especially as new people enter the space.

“No, he’s not black, he’s Brazilian”… with Diego S for Elska Magazine
|
One of the most interesting legacies of having spent my childhood in America was the casual racism that permeated everyday life. After having spent my entire adult life in England, the comparative lack of racism astounds me, and I still marvel at the amount of mixed-race couples around as if that was something extraordinary.
At the age of eight, my mother got married, and the new ‘wealth’ brought by having a second income meant that I would be sent to Catholic school, which required tuition. I wasn’t sent there for religious reasons but for safety. The new Catholic school was no more than fifteen minutes by foot from my old public school, but demographically it was worlds apart. At the new school it was purportedly less likely that I’d end up being murdered on the playground there. That new school was totally white.
Ok, to be totally honest, there were a couple of Latinos, but one was Ecuadorian and the other’s family was from Belize. The point was made, however, that they were “not Mexican or Puerto Rican”. These were the bad kind of Latinos, the ones who joined gangs, sprayed graffiti and shot each other outside the 7–11. Ecuador? Belize? Nobody talks about them in the news.
In the final year at St Ferdinand Parish School we got two transfer students, a twin brother and sister. They were black. And they were the first black people we ever saw in six years at the school so far. Most people thought this was big news, but the twins were well-liked, so the news wasn’t spread in an aggressively racist way. These kids were “good” but black was still “dangerous”, so there was a standard reply whenever kids from the neighbourhood would say “I heard you got some black kids at your school now”… I’ll always remember the response, “No! They’re not black, they’re Brazilian”. I guess that not having your ancestors brought up picking cotton in the Alabama sun was safe, no matter what colour your skin actually was.

What's the Brazilian market adaption strategy?
|
To start with, I’d like to clarify that what I’m saying here is directed specifically to the Brazilian market, where the little I’ve seen took me to question this amazingly creative and incredibly delayed format when compared to the little I’ve seen abroad.
It’s been some time since we all started talking, posting, questioning about what’s there to come and how agencies would survive and digital taking over, how digital can not pay for our Cannes Lions creatives and working model, old school media and advertising that not always put strategy, ROI or KPI’s at first and so goes.
So, I just came back from a trip to the North Pole. Yes, pretty amazing and yes, I will use it as a comparative. Do you know what else is amazing? How everything there is adapting to the new, warmer, environment. As we had an increase of 1 or 2 degrees in our continents, the Artic had an increase between 2 and 4 degrees in the temperature. As a consequence, we are starting to observe animals behaving differently, adapting. Different species of whales that hunt together, killer whales hunting in new, social, ways, polar bears that climb mountains due to the lack of ice, reindeers migrating to other parts of the land.
They adapt, we don’t.
Mainly, we are still waiting for the temperature to go back to it’s normal average. And trying to hunt on our own in melting ice or believing that our skills don’t need improvement and that we are not the ones that need to adapt. It’s the environment.
Our market it’s definitely not in it’s best time with all of our political and economical issues. But other than studying, talking, posting, what have you done to collaborate with the new scenery?
If you could not blame anyone or anything, what would you do to change in order to survive? And for how long will we believe on better days to come instead of embracing and trying to learn with all that’s happening right now?
And to all other professionals that I’ve met that are in constant movement: What’s the secret?
The biggest barrier to adapting is mindset. Adapt or Die (and then reborn)?

While visiting the vilage corrego do Andre in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, Wania Isabel da Silva, 13, followed by her brothers Wando Pereira da Silva (9) and Gracemar Apolinario da Rocha, 4, insisted for me to follow her to her favorite place. I thought she would take me to the river that runs beside her house. The River Sao Joao is famous in the area for the fishing it provides. To my surprise the children took me to a dirt road in the opposite direction of the river’s border.
I asked them why they wouldn’t swim on such a sunny afternoon. I wasn’t expecting to hear that the river was polluted. For me, those were the clearest waters I had ever seen. But for years, the residents in the area have been noticing the contamination of the river by the rareness of the fish. Sundenly, we were interrupted by the youngest brother, Gracemar, saying a phrase thrown in the wind: “My father likes Brazilian Rum”. Mentioning the reason why his father left the family and moved away to another town. When asked if the father visited them, they said no.
Later the oldest brother, Wando, took me to the house his father had built. It was abandoned. They had moved to the house next door where their grandmother, Dona Teresa, gladly welcomed her daughter and three kids. As we reached an immense tree with it’s enourmous top and shade I understood why Liliam liked that place. She said she would love to have a picnic there one day. She probably never had the chance. According to the family plans, Liliam was being sent away to live with her aunt in a big city where she could find better opportunities, not only to study but also, to work. According to Unicef, in 1999, 14.5% of the brazilian girls, ages 10 to 14, worked as maids. Liliam will probably be part of this number.
A BEIRA DO RIO
Enquanto visitava o vilarejo de Corrego do Andre em Minas Gerais, Wania Isabel da Silva, 13, acompanhada de seus dois irmaos Wando Pereira da Silva, 9, e Gracemar Apolinario da Rocha, 4, insistiu para que eu conhecesse o lugar que, segundo ela, era o seu favorito. Esperava que me levasse ao Rio que corre ao lado de sua casa. O Rio Sao Joao e famoso na regiao de Para de Minas, pela pescaria que possibilita. Para minha surpresa as criancas me levaram por uma estrada de terra na direcao oposta as margens do rio.
Perguntei porque nao iriam nadar naquela tarde ensolarada. Fiquei surpresa quando disseram que o rio nao era limpo. Para mim aquelas eram as aguas mais limpas que conhecia. Mas os moradores da regiao ha tempos veem notando a contaminacao do rio e a escassez do peixe. Fomos interrompidos pelo irmao cacula, Gracemar, com uma frase solta ao vento: “Meu pai gosta de cana”. Fazia referencia ao motivo pelo qual o pai havia deixado a familia e se mudado para outro municipio da regiao. Perguntei se o pai os visitava. Disseram que nao. Mais tarde, Wando, o irmao mais velho, me levou ate a casa que o pai havia construido. Estava abandonada. Haviam se mudado para a casa ao lado onde a avo, Dona Teresa, acolheu a filha e os tres netos com satisfacao.
Ao avistarmos uma arvore com enorme copa e sombra entendi porque Liliam gostava daquele lugar. Ela disse que gostaria de fazer um picnic ali algum dia. Provavelmente nao teve chance. Segundo os planos da familia ela se mudaria para a casa de uma tia na cidade grande onde poderia encontrar melhores oportunidades. Infelizmente, nao so de estudos, mas tambem de trabalho. Segund a UNICEF em 1999, 14,5% das meninas entre 10–14 no pais, entraram no mercado de trabalho como empregadas domesticas. Liliam provavelmente sera parte deste numero.

Why 3 foul mouthed Brazilians are Exosphere’s first incubated team

Why 3 foul mouthed Brazilians are Exosphere’s first incubated team
The first time you meet the Scribe team you might think you had run into the Brazilian version of “Jersey Shore”. The way they talk to each other might be strange for someone who is not aware of how these three co-founders came to be. Luckily, the Exosphere staff saw them sprout and as none of us speaks Portuguese we aren’t shocked by the profanity they are constantly spewing at each other in their native language.
As an organization we do not encourage this sort of behaviour at all. We entirely disapprove of it actually. Then why are they one of the first teams we have decided to incubate?
Well, you might think it must be their product…for sure they must be on to a killer product that will go viral in a couple of weeks and change the entire Internet as we know it, making millions for the founders and investors alike.
In reality their product is still pretty flawed. They added the ability to create hyperlinks only a few weeks ago…Pretty shocking considering they are an online writing and publishing platform isn’t it?
They are in beta after all. So, maybe it is because the buzz they have already generated with nothing more than their early-stage beta. People in Brazil and all over the world must already be talking about leaving Wordpress for a platform that really gives them what they want. This must be the reason.
No, it’s not the buzz either. Although they have been quite successful and already attracted an impressive number of users and generated content in less than 3 months, they are still relatively unknown and working on getting themselves in the mind of users as a writing platform worthy of consideration.
Then why did we choose them? Why did we decide to invite them to stay with us at our Viña del Mar campus in Chile, and support them in building Scribe?
In the ever-incisive wisdom of @FAKEGRIMLOCK:
RIGHT PEOPLE MOST IMPORTANT STEP FOR STARTUP. PEOPLE WHAT STARTUP MADE FROM!
BUILD STARTUP FROM RIGHT PEOPLE? THEM EVENTUALLY BUILD RIGHT THING.
Getting the right people to build the right thing is what we do at Exosphere, and is the mission of our boot camps to attract the right people and help them develop and reach their full potential, regardless if that is building a startup or taking life-changing decisions they would have never thought of in the confines of their everyday environment. We are not a startup incubator, we are a people incubator.
Attracting the right people is not an easy job, and it never follows a plan. But the good thing about it is that once you get the first one it creates a positive snowball effect that spreads really fast. Paulo Ribeiro, a friend of one of Exosphere’s founders, was attracted to our philosophy and started spreading the word about us in Brazil. Alberto Brandao found Exosphere because of Paulo, and attended the first boot camp, where he started blogging about his experience here. Eventually, three Brazilians from Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and São José dos Campos, read about Alberto’s experience and applied to the following boot camp. So this is how everything started: five Brazilians from five different cities who didn’t previously know each other.
Get the right people on board, because, sooner or later, they will build the right products.
Alex, Eduardo and Kelvin are young, they don’t have years of startup experience, and they have never lived in Silicon Valley.
But when you spend a couple of months with someone discussing Emerson’s Self-Reliance, Nassim Taleb’s Antifragile and Scott Peck’s The Road Less Travelled, you don’t need long CVs to know what they are capable of creating. You don’t need a pitch of their product to be convinced of their true value or several interviews to get to know them, because you know them as real people, not the persona portrayed in an accelerator application.
This is the reason why we don’t hold pitch events, or have open applications for our incubation programs. You can learn little of a team’s potential in a canned ten minute presentation.
But if you spend more than 200 hours with them discussing their path in life, their goals, their fears and motivations, their relationships in life and how they deal with everyday challenges, then you know their real Curriculum vitae, experience and qualifications not just from their businesses but from their lives. This is what we do in our Hydra boot camp in Chile.
Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
Self-Reliance, Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is it to be an entrepreneur but to pursue and keep the integrity of one’s mind? To be a nonconformist and dare to want more? The only thing that empowers one to reach her potential is the strength of her mind.
We don’t want the next over-hyped app that Facebook will buy to defend its market territory against nascent competition. We want to incubate teams that are serious about solving a real problem for real people. Teams that are serious and committed to their own personal growth, not only as entrepreneurs, but as individuals. Teams that loudly embrace with their actions and aspirations our mantra Disturb the Universe.
This is what we found in the Scribe team.
This is where we stand—this is what we believe. It won’t be the so called “disruptive technologies” that will achieve real disruption. It won’t be the low-cost space industry, the 3D printing, the Internet of Things, or mind reading technology. It will be the people behind them. The people who dare not to conform, the people who dare to defend with vigour the sacred integrity of their mind, the people who dare disturb the Universe.
The world is full of small ideas and small-minded people behind them— just read the business tabloids like Business Insider, you’ll find a lot of stories about them. But for the story of people with big ideas, stay tuned to Exosphere. This is just the beginning.

A Story Max Barry Would Drool Over: Coca-Cola Piercing Tongues, In Latest Marketing Stunt
|
First of all, Max Barry, marketing god and author demi-god, and pseudo-friend, is always on top the latest marketing moves esp. in the soda-pop industry (he wrote a novel about
it for gosh sakes) — so I am hoping he will chime in on this story. Apparently, now Coca-cola in a Coke-Zero promotional stunt/marketing plan, is basically saying, ‘hey you dumb slut, hoe-bag-in-training, do you want to get your tongue pierced?’ (Do you want to slob-knobs, and drink Coke-Zero in between your slobbing of knobs?). Well, we’ll pierce your skank-tongue, for free! But your stud will have a big coke-zero logo on th end. Ha ha….classic move.
Hey I am down with that and all. That sure is an industrious move…so they’ll probably be doing that too with industrial-bar piercings (sorry that was a corny play on words that I couldn’t resist). Don’t believe me? Here is a pic… and here is a gallery of pictures. Here is a youtube video with an ad with tongues.
Coke Zero’s throwing weight behind tongue-piercing parlors in Brazil. Seriously. Shops in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre and Salvador are giving free piercings to people that agree to take a picture with a fresh new Coke Zero stud. Coke’s calling the concept advertising.
and here is more info to read.
and here’s max barry’s blog.
ps.
oh, I am thinking of getting a free penis piercing with a BALLPARK FRANKS logo at the end of the stud. At least it would be ‘consistent’ marketing. Well, in MY case.

Why Brazil will always be the country of the future

Why Brazil will always be the country of the future
Earlier this week, a Brazilian judge ordered a 48-hour shutdown of WhatsApp, the most popular messaging service in the South American country, after it failed to comply with a court order to provide information on one of its users. More than 90 percent of internet users subscribe to the service, which has prompted Brazilian phone companies — who charge the highest rates on the planet — to call it an “illegal telephone service” on the basis that it doesn’t have the same overheads as they do. All this sounds rather like the brouhaha at the beginning of the century, when telecoms players protested at Skype’s “piracy” (the term used by Telefonica Brasil). They do things differently in Brazil, it would seem.
The WhatsApp shutdown wasn’t about “piracy”, but instead the company’s refusal to provide information about a customer involved in a trial, and should be seen in the context of the Brazilian government’s steady erosion of internet neutrality. Brazil’s Congress, the credibility of which has been eaten away by institutionalized corruption (the country’s president, Dilma Rousseff, faces impeachment), has fought tooth and nail against a civil rights framework passed in 2014 that aims to guarantee internet neutrality and privacy, freedom of expression, along with limited responsibility on the part of telecoms providers to share their customers’ information.
Opposition to the civil rights framework has been led by telecoms companies and politicians obsessed with controlling the internet. At the head of this unholy alliance is the president of Congress, Eduardo Cunha, a former lobbyist for the telecoms sector and who faces corruption charges. He wants to pass laws that would require Brazilians to identify themselves on the internet, giving their personal details, to be stored for three years by their internet provider, and that in turn the government could demand to see, without a judicial order. It has been dubbed “the big spy” by Brazilians. Congress sees the internet as its enemy, a place where journalists and civic associations are free to criticize its members, many of whom are implicated in corruption scandals. Rather than do something about corruption, it seems easier to just shut down the internet and silence the population.
Brazilians are among the planet’s most active internet users, and have carried out many successful protest campaigns against their (mostly) wretched politicians, for example on the eve of last year’s World Cup, they highlighted the need for other investment priorities.
Corruption, draconian laws, absurd bans (WhatsApp’s main rival, Telegram, reported one million new users in one day following the shutdown) and politically bankrupt. The internet has become the barometer of the democratic crisis in a country that not long ago was considered one of the world’s most exciting emerging economies. Little wonder that Brazilians, long weary of their country’s failure to meet its enormous potential, like to tell visitors with a sardonic smile: “Brazil: the country of the future… and it always will be.”

Six candidates Porto Alegre Prefecture spoke their propolsals in Federasul
|
Six candidates Porto Alegre Prefecture spoke, on Wednesday (31) on their proposals and answered questions from businessmen during the Tá in Mesa, Federasul, a joint initiative of the entity with the Commercial Association of Porto Alegre (ACPA). Fabio Ostermann (PSL), Luciana Genro (PSOL), Mauritius Dziedricki (PTB), Nelson Marchezan Jr. (PSDB), Raul Pont (PT) and Sebastian Melo (PMDB) highlighted their projects to issues related to business and entrepreneurship in city, speaking of public-private partnership opportunities for certain projects such as the construction of a new events center.
The dialogue was divided into four parts: first, all had five minutes to present; then each answer to a question, time drawn, made by traders in two minutes; in the third round, all answered the same question, prepared by Federasul also in two minutes; and, finally, they had four minutes to complete. Some candidates talked about the national political situation, since the event took place at the same time, the Senate, the term of Dilma Rousseff (PT) was impeached.

4 Things to Do and See in Sao Paulo, Brazil
|
When spending time in the largest city in South America, it can be difficult, and downright intimidating trying to come up with an itinerary that includes everything you want to do.
Sao Paulo, Brazil remains true to its roots through winding roads and highways that follow the historic routes of its settlers, and the cultural abundance that makes up the city allows for a truly diverse experience no matter where you choose to go. With that said, the following are just a few of many fun things you can experience when visiting Sao Paulo.
Free Walking Tours
If you prefer to go the organic route in terms of tourist attractions, walking tours around the city provided by local information centers can give you a local’s perspective on what to do, and where to go. You have a number of options, with the Old Downtown walk being one of the most popular, and Paulista Avenue following closely behind. What’s great for American visitors, all tour guides speak both English and Portuguese to include every guest.
Parque Estadual da Cantareira
A truly breathtaking park located just north of Downtown Sao Paulo, The Cantareira State Park allows visitors to get up close and personal with local wildlife, in addition to providing one of the best views of the city. Though it requires a bit of climb, reaching the top of this park is an experience unlike most. Various species of birds, monkeys, and local plant life are abundant throughout, making the view that much more magical.
It is important to note however, that the park is only open on weekends and holidays, so plan your trip accordingly.
Mercado Municipal de Sao Paulo
The Municipal Market of Sao Paulo features meats, spices, fruits, and vegetables from all over Brazil to give you a taste of the country’s best foods. The building itself houses a number of restaurants as well, many of which serve traditional Brazilian recipes like Pastel de Queijo and Mortadella sandwiches. Be cautious when purchasing though, as prices tend to be on the heavier side. Buying a large basket of goods could rack up a hefty bill.
Sao Paulo Cathedral at Se
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Brazil’s largest city is located at Se, otherwise known as the spiritual centre of Sao Paulo. Aside from attending one of the daily services held here, visitors are welcome to explore the cathedral freely and take photos both inside and out. While the surrounding neighborhood may not be the most aesthetically pleasing, there are also a number of great cafes nearby.

Move the UN to Ethiopia (UPI)
|
M.D. Nalapat
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 (UPI) — Those responsible for the creation of the United Nations conglomerate were idealists, intent on seeking to avoid another international conflict.
They succeeded in the conventional sense. The prospect of another conventional world war is remote, though regional and intercontinental conflicts continue and groups like al-Qaida — not specifically nation-states though tied to one or more of them — have emerged to fight a global war against the values and the systems of pluralist democracies.
The Peoples Republic of China is seeking to create a self-perpetuating super state independent of the people as a means of securing its interests. The PRC is supporting a slew of similarly authoritarian structures across the world with missile and nuclear technology.
Several democracies are having to battle against insurgencies and terrorism while AIDS has replaced tuberculosis as the primary killer of the world’s poor.
What are the conflicts that the UN has succeeded in preventing?
The threshold of effectiveness appears low. In a few instances the UN system as such — as distinct from the actions of a few of its member states — was able to prevent a conflict or stop it once begun. The organization’s principal value has been as a talking shop, a pulpit for the preaching of verities. Much of the “work” of the several thousand functionaries is comprised of going from one meeting to the other, organizing yet another “talk-a-thon” after getting through several.
Stripped of verbiage, the UN has value only as a clearinghouse of concepts and policies. It has value in a world in which several countries are below the radar of the attention of the powerful. If there were no United Nations, it would need to be invented — but not along the lines of how the current organization as taken shape.
The first mistake made by those who midwifed the UN system was the belief that the higher the remuneration, the better the quality of both planning and implementation.
The result of this approach has been the creation of a bureaucracy that is the highest-paid in the world, subject to no local taxes, and enjoying pension and other benefits that match the standards of top corporations.
The difference is that corporations are accountable to shareholders and have clear benchmarks to achieve. Those in the UN system do not face similar tests. Each botched-up crisis is seen as an opportunity for an expansion in manpower and a further flurry of “consultations” and “meetings.”
Those for whom a paycheck is the primary motivation are not the people with the mindset needed to wade through the swamps in order to fix matters on the ground. It is a travesty of the truth to say that the best — including in the developed world — will not volunteer unless they are paid princely sums.
Several NGOs and the examples of numerous individuals who have forsaken comfort in the United States and Europe to work in Asia and Africa give the lie to the basic foundation of the UN system: that money is all.
The first step in UN reform would be to bring salaries to an international average, which would be around 40 percent of present levels. Those unwilling to make such a transition should be cheerfully allowed to depart. There is something obscene in those with Super First World salaries lecturing about poverty alleviation
A concurrent step would be to shift UN offices away from the developed world into locations that are more representative of the problems that the organization is expected to address.
A suggested location for the UN headquarters is Ethiopia.
The building of this can be financed from the money raised through the sale of the properties in New York now owned by the UN. In fact, even the sale of UN assets in Paris or Geneva would be sufficient to construct a complex that would meet all the operational needs of the staff now quartered in some of the most expensive cities in the world.
Once the UN headquarters has shifted to Ethiopia, or to a similar location, the properties in New York can be sold and the money used as a fund that can finance projects for health, education and economic empowerment, especially of women.
The lower costs of salaries and the cheaper rates in the new headquarters would free larger sums of money for activities other than meeting payrolls and pensions
While the UN headquarters can function from a location in Ethiopia that has been made secure and which has its own transport links, other UN agencies can get relocated to countries such as Sri Lanka and Egypt.
The United Nations has a large number of affiliated agencies, such as the IAEA, UNICEF, UNHCR, WHO, FAO, ILO and the World Bank group. These can get shifted from their pricey first world locations to more affordable facilities in the countries and regions that really need attention. While Vienna, Paris, Geneva and New York definitely have problems, these have not yet reached the scale of what the people in Mexico City, Calcutta and Cairo face everyday.
Sadly, thanks to the affluence of their surroundings, the UN’s personnel find themselves separated from the ground realities that they have been mandated to address.
The UN General Assembly would function as it does now, when most of the permanent representatives go shopping or indulge in other useful activity while presidents, prime ministers and potentates give speeches alleged to be important.
The permanent membership of the UN Security Council would be expanded from five to ten with the inclusion of Germany, Japan, Brazil, India and South Africa, with the same rights and functions as the current permanent five.
Instead of 10 non-permanent members lacking veto power, there would be 20, selected by rotation from each of the members of the General Assembly save those already on the security council, each serving a term of three months.
In this way, over the course of two years, almost every member of the U.N. would have the privilege of joining in the discussions around the table. There would be room for all, rather than the few who today repeatedly get themselves re-elected to the non-permanent seats in the U.N. Security Council.
As for the U.N. bureaucracy, this is today a potpourri of individuals from widely different countries and systems across the world.
Thanks to the astronomical (by international averages) salaries paid to UN staff, there is a scramble among officials in the developing world to sign up, at least for a few years. Most of the time of these worthies gets expended in finding permanent jobs in Europe or the U.S., and in getting their children through school and college in these locations
What is needed is for the United Nations to be staffed by its own dedicated cohort, chosen through competitive examinations open to the citizens of the member-states.
The best of these can then be selected for a training program. At its conclusion, they will be moved into the UN as part of a team of dedicated international civil servants willing to work in the third world in modest surroundings rather than in the comparative comfort and opulence of the first world.
Thus far, every one of the “suggestions” that are being made for UN reform merely nibble around the edges. What is needed is for a comprehensive makeover. Otherwise the UN will remain a costly burden on taxpayers across the world, an institution whose primary task is to perpetuate the elitist conditions in which its officials function.

God and Football: the Way of Life For Brazilians

God and Football: the Way of Life For Brazilians
A diverse country but united by these two factors
Brazil is home to different ethnic origins. The Brazilian culture was largely shaped by the Portuguese Empire which they were a part of for over 300 years; other colonist nations such as Spain, Italy and Germany, and Africans who were brought as slaves by the colonial masters. As diverse as the country may seem, these two things unite them.
Religion
Brazil is home to a lot of diverse religious beliefs but with a population of 190 million people, 123 million are Catholics making them the largest Catholic country in the world. Catholicism is the official religion of Brazil and is formally institutionalized into their political and social system. Most of their bank holiday is based on the Catholicism.
Football
Futebol, as spelled in Brazil is the most popular sports in the country. Football, known as soccer in America is the very air Brazilians breathe to survive. To understand just how much this sport means to Brazilians as a people, watch how they reacted when their national team lost the semi-finals to Germany in the 2014 World Cup game.
