We are lucky that nowadays computing has advanced a lot and there are solutions for all tastes and pockets. But now it is no longer enough to have a good team, now it must also be aesthetic, striking. A component that has become very fashionable are liquid coolers and, more specifically, All-in-Ones , but are they better than an air cooler?
Liquid cooling itself can bring interesting aspects, such as better temperatures. Above all, this type of cooling is interesting for very high-end processors, such as the Intel Core i9 and the AMD Ryzen 9. Although, in most cases they are a worse option than the typical tower-type heatsink.
They do not lower the temperature so much, nor are they quieter
Several myths have been generated around these systems of heat dissipation of the processor (and also graphics card). Usually, it is highlighted that they are more efficient in heat dissipation and that they generate less noise. The truth is that an RL will not always give us better results than a block-type heatsink, and there are reasons.
The first reason is in the fans, more specifically, in its typology. Although you may not know it, there are two types of computer fans : pressure and flow . Usually, the flow ones are used more for RL and the pressure ones for block heatsinks. The reason is in the amount of surface that the air must cover. Block-type heatsinks are thicker than a liquid-cooled radiator.
What is remarkable is that both systems use fans, which in the end are what allow cooling. The problem, so to speak, is that a one-fan heatsink is equivalent to a two-fan RL (more or less). Pressure fans are noisier than flow fans , compared one to one. But, by having more fans, the noise increases.
In addition, pressure fans are usually more efficient at dissipating heat. They generate more amount of air, so the temperature is reduced more quickly. Of course, there's also more surface area to cover than an RL radiator.
Actually, the problem is elsewhere.
We have to say that the biggest problem with RL is its simplicity. A custom liquid cooling is complex and has different elements, such as a separate pump and a reservoir. AIO systems do not have a tank, so there is no "excess" of liquid that compensates for the micro evaporation that occurs through the pores of the tube.
Any plastic tube has pores and when the liquid evaporates, very slowly and in small quantities, it is lost. In the long run (and depending on the use) the amount of liquid decreases and the circulation of the system worsens. It forces the pump to work at a higher power and in the end, it will end up burning or not doing its job well.
There is a design defect in all RL AIO that generates a durability of 2-4 years (depending on use). The vast majority do not have a filler cap to compensate for the loss of liquid. This simple element could make our liquid cooling last forever and it doesn't matter. In the end, it is the origin of all the problems that you will have in the not so distant future.
I personally find AIO RLs to be interesting and useful. They are a good product, but they have a design and manufacturing flaw that, to me, makes them a horrible product. Curiously, the first models of this cooling system did have this filler cap, which has been lost over time.

Weekly Story for Lech-Lecha: Beyond the Bio
When the Torah introduces us to a new person, it usually starts with the background. However, with Avraham we get no bio, no background. Just right off the start: Lech Lecha. This teaches us what makes a Jew a Jew. Not his learning; not his observance; not his achievements. What makes a Jew Jewish is the fact that G-d told Abraham, "Go to yourself, from your land…" It is the fact that G-d chose his/her soul to be in a unique covenant and relationship with Him. This week's story reminds us of this idea that a Jew is a Jew is a Jew.

Six years ago today, the world lost an extraordinary musician, a loving husband, father, and grandfather, Glen Campbell. As we remember him today, let us also look to the future with optimism and determination.

Independence Day
Dementia's grip on independence is slow and steady… and irreversible. But it's not just the diagnosed who lose their independence: it's also their caregivers. So what's the positive spin to help us get through this battle? Well.. there are a few, actually.
Don't Forget The Dental Floss
Guest writer William Cummings shares a humorous anecdote about his father to remind caregivers not to sweat the small stuff when it comes to Alzheimer's.
Medical Monday: Music & Memory
Providing music that holds special meaning for the listener taps into emotional memory. No matter how advanced one's dementia, as long as we can identify music that holds personal meaning from their youth, the odds are good that this will work.
Alzheimer's is never a fair fight. Kim takes on the playground bully with a little help from her friends and family.

Police responded to a report of a stabbing near 2800 S. 300 E. back on March 19.
Phelps told officers his father was in the bedroom, "probably dead."
Officers said the man died at the scene.
Phelps told authorities he and his father were arguing through a bedroom door when he grabbed a knife from the kitchen, kicked down the door and stabbed his father several times.
He told police he returned the knife to its case where authorities found it bloodied in the kitchen.
His bail is set at $1 million.

You're a physician, pharmacist, or nurse, and you just learned a complaint has been filed against you with the Oregon Medical Board, the Oregon Board of Pharmacy, or the Oregon State Board of Nursing. Now what?
Stop, collect your thoughts, establish the first deadline
If you just received word-of-mouth notice, or a letter from your licensing Board, time is momentarily on your side, so take advantage of it. Avoid knee jerk reactions. Whatever you do, do not call your licensing Board or the investigator that sent you a letter. You're not ready. You're too emotionally involved. Instead, establish the first deadline. Get time under control. Stop. Think.
Don't assume you know the substance of the Board complaint
It is only natural to speculate about the nature of the complaint. The tendency is to speculate based upon what you know, and then rationalize why the Board complaint is unfounded. The problem with this approach is that your knowledge of the complaint is most often limited, and your conclusions may therefore be wrong. This is no way to plan your defense.
Retain a healthcare defense attorney with experience defending licenses for physicians, pharmacists, and nurses
The better approach is to have a healthcare defense attorney contact the investigator, to learn about the complaint and to further discover what most concerns the investigator. Be aware that this call to your investigator is not a call you can make well, because once the investigator explains the basis of the complaint, a reaction will expected of you. It's only natural; this is the way conversation works. You, however, will not be prepared to answer. Yet there you are, on the phone with the investigator, your mind racing, wondering how to respond to fill the silence. This is no time to be experimenting with answers. Again, the better approach is to have an experienced healthcare defense attorney contact the investigator. Your attorney will then share this information with you in a private setting where the issues and concerns may be thoughtfully explored, without risk to you. Remember, your best answer to the complaint will take some time and work to marshal; it will not emerge extemporaneously during a first phone call with the investigator. Have your attorney make that first call instead.
Don't blame others until you have explained your role
If others were involved in the circumstances setting up the Board complaint, do not blame them, at least not at first. For some, placing blame where it belongs is a strong personal instinct. If others were involved, they will be investigated or interviewed too. When it is your turn, the investigator wants to understand your role in the circumstances behind the complaint and, until your role is satisfactorily understood, blaming others will come off as evasive, uncooperative, and non-responsive. Don't make this mistake. An experienced healthcare defense attorney will help you avoid this mistake. And remember, if your role in the complaint was truly small and non-contributing, it will not take long to explain, and a good explanation will reference the participation of others, from which the investigator will draw all appropriate conclusions. In the context of a medical Board investigation, blaming others requires a deft touch.

Are you currently experiencing intensive emotions? Naturally you may be. One-minute you may have a girlfriend and generating methods for two. Next, you might be solitary and by yourself. Well, this is the time to take a step back and get a rest from your own girl condition.
Have you seen how tough it's to be level headed after a separation as soon as you think mad, injured, and shed?
Therefore, if you feel you are compliment to burst, be sure to avoid creating things aside from cooling down. Otherwise you can certainly make issues bad.
Relatedly, it's a good idea to remain free from alcohol. An obvious head ensures you will definitely reduce regret. Attitude is vital. A compromised or weakened head usually takes your down your video game.
Rest assured it is best to capture one step right back from her whenever you are bubbling over with anger or grieving for the female.
Simply take weekly someday at one time. Don't let your lover see you losing the right path. Including venting your emotions on social networking sites. Be careful what you blog post!
Then, we're going to glance at what to do if you are unmarried that will help you be appealing in her own eyes…
Chasing is not the way you get your ex right back ya understand? We work from just what chases all of us. You need to be wiser than that.
Do not be generating any effort to make contact with the girl. At the very least never to start. This means no calling her by telephone or producing video phone calls, without emailing or texting. To greatly help try this, remove their amounts from your own smart device, only for today.
Also, you know those spots their gf wants to check out? Avoid them. Due to the fact showing up in same spots she do, from the pretence from it being an aˆ?accidentaˆ? isn't smart. Check your motivation.
Could you be discovering it hard to obtain your own ladies attention?
Indeed, these suggestions is actually straight out of preferred no communications after separation playbook, in fact it is advised to follow after a separation.
The point is to prevent performing whatever could make their feeling crowded by you. It's in your best interest not to be viewed as a pest.
As long as you're offering the woman area and steering clear of the, aˆ?just occurring to stay in alike spots as their,aˆ? enticement, its also wise to steer clear of inquiring their friends, aˆ?hey, exactly how is she doing?aˆ?
Well, to simply help her skip your, why don't we focus on this:
In the event that you starting asking, it would likely filter back into the woman. And you will probably n't need your girlfriend knowing you are dating iranian ladies inquiring.
Keep concentrate on the guy in echo, and also the good modifications you are able to deliver him (and that is you, of course…)
Sometimes, staying off this lady method can push your girlfriend to help make the very first action. To address both you and making call on the very own free may.
Did you realize, we humans stand behind our very own conclusion more firmly than conclusion we had been prodded into generating. We will actually fight for our alternatives if we must. But, those selection made for you by someone else, which we were convinced to do something upon etc.?
When a lady is getting in touch with you because she decided to, and never because she had been guilted to? You cannot beat that.
As an away: I should discuss you will find a caveat here on influence we now have on assisting another to determine things. Which, with skill, you can easily persuade another to achieve a choice we prefer they generated… by themselves. And, in a way that has got the exact same impact as choosing they for themselves. But, they must be to some extent bending in that way to start with. And, its high-risk.

Tim Burton Once Pitched A House Of Wax Musical Starring Michael Jackson
As prolific as Tim Burton is, the filmmaker has a sizeable list of unrealized projects that sound strange yet fascinating even for his off-kilter style. His abandoned works include an adaptation of the Richard Brautigan horror Western novel "The Hawkline Monster," the apocalyptic disaster film about giant dinosaurs aptly called "Dinosaurs Attack!," and, of course, the legendary and infamous Nicolas Cage-led, Kevin Smith-penned "Superman Lives." However, none of these match up to the levels of surreality as Burton's proposed musical adaptation of the 1953 3D mystery-horror classic "House of Wax," which would have starred none other than Michael Jackson.
This wasn't the first time someone tried re-visiting the story about a murderous museum sculptor, nor would it be the last. In fact, the 1953 version was a remake of a 1933 film called "Mystery of the Wax Museum," starring Lionel Atwill, who would later appear in "Son of Frankenstein," as well as Fay Wray, who also starred in "King Kong" that same year. Warner Bros. brought yet another version to screens in 2005, this time more influenced by the slasher films of the modern era and most known for casting and killing off Paris Hilton. These don't even count the low-budget 1979 film "Tourist Trap," produced by cult horror movie producer Charles Band, which bears a strong resemblance to the plot of "House of Wax."
Despite all of these interpretations (and Vincent Price's signature blackly comedic performance), Burton's pitch for his own take on the film sounded especially campy and gonzo.
For the love of a wax glove
After receiving the Lumiere Award at the Lumiere Film Festival in Lyon, France, Burton revealed (via Deadline) that he had sincerely tried to make a "House of Wax" musical starring the King of Pop, but the studio he was in talks with ultimately rejected the concept. "They said 'no.' Can you believe that?" Burton incredulously (but humorously) stated. Burton said that Michael Jackson was the only one who supported his idea, which is unsurprising considering the pop star's long-documented appreciation for horror. In fact, Jackson has a history of film projects that he could have starred in but never came to fruition, including "Labyrinth" and "Spider-Man."
This detail came about in a larger discussion about the state of filmmaking in a post-streaming, post-pandemic world, in which Burton lamented that it's now more difficult to get the business-oriented studio heads to greenlight a project. However, the vast libraries of streaming platforms have proven that there's a niche audience for just about anything, and that production companies can occasionally take higher risks for straight-to-streaming films. While it's true that Michael Jackson has passed away, the original concept still remains. It should be noted that The Weeknd has shown that he, too, has a love of horror movies, so perhaps that means a musical "House of Wax" can still see the light of day.

BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP) is Australia's largest resource company that specialises in extracting and processing minerals, oil and gas. BHP main operations are within Australia and the Americas. BHP has a market capitalisation of A$92 billion.
What are the key features from BHP quarterly report?
Petroleum production for 4Q20 is 26 MMboe, down 5% from 3Q20 and down 10% from FY19. Copper for 4Q20 is 414 Kt, down 3% from 3Q20 and up 2% from FY19. Iron ore for 4Q20 is 67 Mt, up 11% from 3Q20 and up 4% from FY19. Metallurgical coal for Q420 is 12 Mt, up 26% from 3Q20 and down 3% from FY19. Energy coal for 4Q20 is 6 Mt, down 2% from 3Q20 and down 16% from FY19. Nickel for 4Q20 is 24 Kt, up 14% from 3Q20 and down 8% from FY19.
The increase in production in petroleum in 4Q20 was mainly attributed to increased production at Bass Strait due to higher seasonal demand. However, this was partially offset by lower volumes at Atlantis due to a planned maintenance and preparation work for Phase 3 project commissioning. The decrease in production in copper in 4Q20 was mainly attributed to lower production at Antamina due to temporary suspension in response to COVID-19. Iron ore production was up due to higher volumes reflecting strong production levels at mining area C and Yandi and strong supply chain performance. Metallurgical coal production is up in 4Q20 due to higher volumes at Queensland Coal and at Poitrel mine, following significant wet weather events impacting operations in the prior quarter. Energy Coal production in 4Q20 is down due to lower volumes at Cerrejon as a result of a temporary shutdown in response to COVID-19. Finally, Nickel production in 4Q20 is up due to higher volumes following ramp back up to full capacity at the Kwinana refinery and Kalgoorlie smelter during the prior quarter.
What is the outlook for BHP?
BHP management notes that steel production in China could contract by double-digit percentage in the 2020 calendar year. It is estimated that capacity utilisation ex-China fell to between 50% and 60% across the June quarter. In addition, steel makers from other regions, including Europe, the Americas, India and Japan have cut production. This reflect logistical difficulties created by COVID-19 (e.g. inter-state labour availability in India) as well as collapsing demand in downstream industries, such as automotive (e.g. Europe and Japan). This could cause demand for iron ore to fall in the 2020 calendar year. The one positive outlook for iron ore over the short-term is that demand from China is expected to pick up in the later end of 2020 calendar year, if China avoids a second wave of COVID-19. At least to date, the iron ore price in US dollar terms has remained surprising firm at around US$107 per tonne. The iron ore price is so strong due to production problems in Brazil.
Regarding global oil prices, during March, global oil prices slumped. This was attributed to OPEC and non-OPEC (Russia) oil producers engaging in a production war as an agreement was not met between the producers. This excess in supply, coupled with a fall in global oil demand is causing global oil prices to significantly fall. Since then, oil prices in May and June have improved. BHP management note that the most significant risk to the oil market has passed. However, the return to normalised demand levels are not expected to occur before the end of 2021 calendar year.
What is the market reaction to BHP quarterly report?
The market reaction to BHP's quarterly activates report is broadly neutral. BHP's share price is flat and is currently trading at A$38.31. This market reaction is negative as the Australian market is up around 0.8%. BHP is trading at a forward P/E ratio in the mid-teens and has an annual dividend yield of around 4.5%.

Poverty Task Force outlines concrete steps to tackle economic inequity in Michigan
For Immediate Release
Feb. 17, 2021
Alex Rossman
Poverty Task Force outlines concrete steps to tackle economic inequity in Michigan
LANSING—The Michigan League for Public Policy issued the following statement on the Michigan Poverty Task Force's policy recommendations released today. It can be attributed to League President and CEO Gilda Z. Jacobs.
"As an organization that has been working to promote economic security in Michigan since 1912, we know how pervasive and persistent poverty is. And as a data-driven policy advocacy organization, we know that public policies almost always are moving the needle on poverty one way or the other.
"No other governor has made combating poverty a top priority, but Gov. Whitmer has since she first took office, from her annual budgets and positive, proactive changes made by the Department of Health and Human Services and other departments to the creation of this Task Force. The breadth and depth of the Task Force's policy recommendations released today show how poverty is impacted by nearly every area of public policy, but it also shows how many tools are at policymakers' disposal to improve residents' economic standing. And there is a commitment to ensure that all departments work in concert to advance these policies and system changes.
"These recommendations include some of the League's longstanding policy recommendations, including restoring the state Earned Income Tax Credit, strengthening safety net programs, improving child care access and affordability, and more. But the recommendations also include new and innovative ideas like establishing a new program to help residents pay their water bills, eliminating the 'reduced-price' fee for school meals, and working to eliminate the digital divide and widen broadband and device access. Poverty is, unfortunately, an issue for families in every part of the state, even more so right now, and we hope there will be bipartisan and universal support for these recommendations to better support our struggling residents."
The Michigan League for Public Policy, www.mlpp.org, is a nonprofit policy institute focused on economic opportunity for all. It is the only state-level organization that addresses poverty in a comprehensive way.

If you are ordering out and eating a salad for your entree, you might be starving yourself, or worse yet,sabotaging your healthy goals with more sugar than a hot fudge sundae!
Just because salads contain veggies doesn't mean they are the best choice.
Some salads might leave you hungry and tired.
Here's the skinny on salads:
Typical restaurant side salads consist of just a handful of greens, a few veggies, and croutons, and are drowning in dressing.
These salads are missing the macros you need to fuel your body and keep your metabolism running smoothly and should NEVER be eaten as your main course!
Now, let's check out the gourmet salads!
They may sound tempting, but they are often loaded with more sugar than your favorite dessert!
- A typical "Seasonal" salad, for instance, may have some great ingredients but often has lots of high-sugar summer fruit and lacks enough protein, fiber, and healthy fat.
- The "Waldorf" it's often full of ingredients like dried cranberries, grapes, and candied walnuts, causing a blood sugar spike.
- The "Classic Caesar," a restaurant staple, lacks protein and fiber.
Healthy Habits to the Rescue!
Next time you order your salad, ask your waiter to add protein, fiber, or healthy fats. This way, you'll have a balanced and delicious meal that won't leave you craving snacks and feeling lethargic later.
And if the dressing is to die for, it probably is because it's loaded with sugar. It's better to stick with vinegarettes.
If you're thinking, "but it's the best part" I've been there too!
Try this habit,
Order the dressing on the side and only use 1/2; you will have plenty of flavor without a puddle in the dish when you are finished!

#1: Ashy Blonde Tousled Bob
A short bob with a curtain fringe is a great way to keep your length while adding texture and definition. Ask for an inverted bob haircut technique when the hair in front of your ears is slightly longer than the back. This provides more movement and can help enhance volume if you have thin or fine hair textures. To style such blonde short haircuts, use texturizing mousse. Try Bumble & Bumble's Thickening Dryspun Finish. This product gives life to limp locks without weighing them down. Use a curling iron in a low-heat setting to achieve effortless beachy waves. It will add body and pull straight through the ends.

#2: Short Straight Barbie Blonde Bob
For all of you Barbie blondes, opt for a short straight bob! The bright blonde adds softness and brightness while the bob length brings a trendy touch. To maintain this sleek look, use a good smoothing cream and a professional flatiron.

#3: Short Blonde Textured Bob
Looking for a fresh new haircut that's both playful and versatile? Consider a short blonde textured bob with piecey layers. This trendy cut is perfect for those wanting to show off their fun side while looking polished. The piecey layers of textured bobs will give an effortless vibe. This makes it easy to style and perfect for any occasion. This cut is great for those with straight or wavy hair textures, as it adds movement and dimension.

#4: Peach Blonde Hair with Butterfly Layers and Bangs
Peach blonde hair with butterfly layers is a trendy hairstyle that adds dimension. The peach-blonde color adds a soft and whimsical touch to your hair. While the butterfly layers create movement and dimension. Using hairspray, you can ensure your layers and bangs stay in place. This helps to maintain the desired shape and style throughout the day. The addition of bangs adds a youthful and fresh look to the overall hairstyle. Bangs frame the face and add a touch of charm.

#5: Sleek and Blunt Blonde Bob
For a clean and modern haircut that fits all face shapes, consider wearing a sleek and blunt blonde bob. It looks great with a middle part! This chic and effortless look is perfect for those who want to make a statement without going too bold. The blunt cut provides a sharp finish, while the middle parting adds a touch of glam. You should consider using a shine oil or spray that is best for making your locks smooth and shiny!

#6: Vanilla Cream Short Slob Haircut
Look sleek and stylish with a vanilla cream slob haircut. Although a slob evokes the thought of messiness, a slob is a portmanteau and means sleek bob. A chin-length sleek bob is best for oval and heart face shapes. It creates weight and width to the jawline and creates a balanced look. To keep your hair looking sleek and beautiful, keep heat styling to a minimum. Use a good heat protectant when you do heat style. Try Joico Heat Hero Glossing Thermal Protector for protection and shine.
Instagram @mila_kryshchykhina
#7: Short Blonde Messy Hairdo
A short blonde messy hairdo can be easy to achieve if you have a little natural texture. Ask for a tapered nape and a long layered bob. If your hair is thick, texture cutting will help encourage movement. Instead of curling your shape, try scrunching it dry. Or twirl it around a medium-sized metal barrel round brush to get waves. Use your fingers and some hair spray to style it in place for a messy finish.
Instagram @seolahair
#8: Ice White Blonde Blunt Cut
Try this blunt cut with ice blonde color! A good purple shampoo is the number one product you need to help keep this whitish blonde color. It must be aggressive enough to cancel any yellow without drowning you out too much.
Instagram @pavel_okhapkin
#9: Short Blonde Bob with Dark Roots and Flipped Bangs
This short blonde bob with dark roots is a great option for women who want a low-maintenance yet stylish cut. The dark roots add depth and dimension to the look, and the flipped bangs add a playful touch. This cut is great for women with finer hair textures as it helps to create the illusion of thicker hair. To style this look, blow dry your hair straight and flip the bangs outwards with a flat iron. A volumizing spray can be used at the roots to give additional lift and texture. Avoid products that will weigh your hair down. This versatile short straight blonde hair is perfect for the modern and chic woman who wants to keep her hair simple.

#10: Dimensional Strawberry Blonde Lowlights
Try a short textured cut if you need more volume or have fine hair. The only drawback with this short style is it can't be worn many other ways.
Instagram @mogeenamsterdam
#11: Soft Pixie Mullet on Bleach Blonde Hair
Consider a bleach-blonde soft pixie mullet. A shaggy mullet with highlights has all the rock-n-roll vibes. A beautiful shape for convex profiles when having more height at the fringe area. This style can be kept up every 4-6 weeks or grow into a soft longer shape, depending on your preference.
Instagram @beautyybyheather_
#12: Wispy Graduated Bob and Icy Blonde Color
Try an icy blonde-toned graduated bob with wispy layers to change your look. Side bangs will add a feminine touch. But keep them longer for a low-maintenance schedule. An icy blonde will require frequent salon visits as it's a lifestyle. You will need the best products and home hair care to keep this style healthy and gorgeous.
Instagram @canyonhillssalon
#13: Light Ash Blonde on Side-Parted Asymmetrical Bob
Go for an asymmetrical light ash blonde bob. For a beautiful bob cut, ask for a square beveled bob. Adding wispy layers will help create movement and lift into this style. A fine highlight will get you stunning ash blonde short hair like this if you naturally have a darker brunette color.
Instagram @styledbylexiem
#14: Pale Blonde on Soft Tousled Pixie Hair
Opt for a soft tousled pale blonde pixie cut and style. A short blonde pixie layered through the crown is great for round face shapes. And texture added throughout with a razor will help to soften the style. A pale blonde with golden undertones works well with lighter skin.
Instagram @jamesplainhair
#15: Chin-Length Icy Blonde Bob Haircut
A chin-length icy blonde bob haircut is a stunning way to add blonde to short hair. Short blonde haircuts like this accentuate the jawline and flatter a fair skin tone.
Instagram @wellaeducation
#16: Textured and Blunt Creamy Blonde Bob with a Shadow Root
Consider a textured and blunt creamy blonde bob with a shadow root and beach waves for an edgy yet elegant look. This style works best on thick hair types that are naturally straight or slightly wavy. It gives you more natural volume. Your blonde strands will benefit from a heat-protectant style aid. Use Redken's Thermal Spray 11 Low Hold, applied to wet or dry hair. Opt for straight ends, leaving them out as you curl for a beachy, textured finish.
Instagram @styledbyisha
#17: Neutral Blonde on Jaw-Length Hair
A neutral blonde on jaw-length hair is soft and a perfect shade of blonde for warm months. Try this transition from a cool blonde for a brighter result. Warm tones tend to reflect light, while cool tones absorb it. Ask your hairstylist if adding little gold to your formula can make your dull blonde pop. You can also trade your purple shampoo for a golden conditioner if you want to. I recommend the Davines' Alchemic Conditioner Golden.
Instagram @jakewarburton_conveysalons
#18: Sleek Blonde Tapered Pixie with Side Bangs
Try a sleek tapered blonde pixie with side bangs. When growing a shorter pixie, one of the most irritating parts is the in-between phases. Keeping up with regular cuts to maintain a shape while it grows is key. Try longer shapes with a soft razor-cut edge to make the grow-out less bulky. Trying a new hair dye to change your style can help you love the grow-out process even more.
Instagram @twostrandsalon
#19: Extra Short Buzzed Cut with Platinum Color
An extra short buzzed cut with platinum color and shaved flower pattern is easy to maintain. This short platinum blonde hair has all the benefits of a traditional buzz cut, but it's unique design and gorgeous color take it to another level. When it comes to hair care, use products designed for shorter styles to keep your hair and scalp healthy. Remember to convey your vision to your stylist, especially when you want a specific design. You'll want to choose a stylist trained to create this hair art.
Instagram @blond.pixie
#20: Platinum Edgy Pixie with Shaved Sides and Nape
A pixie with shaved sides and nape is a great way to have short hair and still play with edgy styles and colors. Most short blonde hairstyles look soft and subtle. But this edgy pixie creates a dynamic overall look. A pixie cut will need regular styling and upkeep. So it's not recommended for those who don't want any styling needs.
Instagram @hair_over_boots
#21: Beige Blonde A-line Bob with Wispy Layers
Spice up your A-line bob with wispy layers and a beige-toned blonde. If you will get a short blonde cut, make sure your stylist textures the ends. It will give you lots of movement, flair, and a beautiful, easy grow-out. The beige blonde shade will compliment any skin tone. But it will require a little maintenance. Just have fun with it, girl!
Instagram @egle_bee
#22: Blonde Short Hair with Side-Swept Bangs
Try a short blonde hairstyle with side-swept bangs. A pixie with a side-swept crop top is perfect for heart and round face shapes. The asymmetry is what creates the balance. A short blonde hair style looks great with the underneath or undercut darker. Having the top lightened up for contrast of color looks great growing out. Otherwise, the blonde sides can look a little stripey.
Instagram @thefirsthairbender
#23: Classic Warm Blonde Bob with Curtain Bangs
The bob is one of the most classic cuts you can get but try modernizing it with curtain bangs and a soft, warm blonde. Short blonde haircuts are trendy and stylish. Especially when cut super blunt with a little bit of texture. Your stylist will cut straight and then go back in and point cut for textured ends. This will create movement. If you have straight hair, this is the perfect wash-and-go look.
Instagram @karis.curls
#24: Neck-Length Dimensional Blonde Curly Hair
Women with curly hair should try a dimensional blonde look reaching to the neck. A soft golden blonde would look perfect on neutral-toned skin. A round cut will greatly compliment a long or oval face, adding width to the overall shape. Be sure to keep your curls hydrated, especially after a blonding session. Try Moroccan Oil's Curl Defining Cream for a soft yet defined hold.
Instagram @create.byhesther
#25: Blonde Feathered Pixie with Short Layers
The key to this beautiful beige blonde feathered pixie look is short layers and a tapered nape. Remember to give your cut plenty of texture if your hair is naturally straight or wavy. Do this with product and styling tools. This style offers an effortless yet edgy feel while still being soft and feminine. Plus, you'll never have to worry about bad-hair days again.
Instagram @styled_by_carolynn
#26: Light Blonde Hair Color for Short Blunt Shag Cut
Here's a light blonde short shag haircut that is very modern! The wavy style offers movement so that a classic bob won't look too flat. This short shaggy cut is great for ladies of all ages, too. For this blonde short hair cut, use Kevin Murphy Resort.Spray and an H2d iron to add beachy waves.
Instagram @soph.hair.styles
#27: Soft Blonde Blunt Cut Bob Without Bangs

#29: Chic Chin-Length Blonde Bob with Bangs
Bangs are one of the best ways for blondes to modernize a short, chin-length bob. It gives your style more of a French bob feel. You don't have to go for super short bangs, either. Longer bangs pushed to the side will create the same chic, effortless vibe.
Instagram @simoner_lara
#30: Cute Short Inverted Blonde Bob Cut
Try an inverted bob cut if you want a fierce new blonde hairdo. The steep angle from the back to the front will give you an edgy look!
Instagram @charlesjuniorlouw
#31: Platinum Blonde Streaks
Platinum blonde streaks can help to make your hair feel thicker. If you feel like your hair is thin or has always been thin, try adding blonde highlights in your hair. The lightener swells the cuticle leaving your hair a little more plump. Tell your stylist to add lowlights every other appointment to prevent being too blonde. This will ensure you keep your dimension.
Instagram @silvertiger_hair_art
#32: Super Short Razored Blonde Bob
A super short razored blonde bob is easy to style and only requires a trim every two to three months. It adds volume and layers to thin hair and removes extra bulk from thick tresses. I chose a textured 45° angle cut to create this short blonde hair bob. The hair is naturally straight, so the texturing part looked some volume where it needed it.
Instagram @joshua_sajtar
#33: Camelback Blonde
The camelback blonde hair color is starting to trend. It looks super cool with a bob length cut, giving a fuller structured baseline to your hair. Try adding some blonde highlights to contrast against your natural color to give dimension and texture to finer hair. This makes your hair pop and appear thicker.
Instagram @sissemarie
#34: Natural Short Blonde Bob

Curly blonde hair for older women is a great way to blend any gray hair. It adds a subtle facelift to show off the natural texture of the curls. It's a low-maintenance approach for women without having to step foot in the salon once a month. Try Be-Curly Curl Enhancing Lotion by Aveda to create frizz-free waves. Style it with a diffuser on low heat and with low intensity to form the perfect waves in your short blonde hair.

#58: Voluminous Short Blonde Hair with Dark Roots
Short blonde hair with dark roots and voluminous waves is an edgy cut and color to show off your face and bold personality. The bluntness of a short cut near the jawline adds horizontal lines for the eye to follow, making this one of the great short hair cuts for heart-shaped faces or anyone who wants to bring more strength and width to their jawline. Pear-shaped faces or face shapes with a strongly defined jaw-line should avoid keeping the cut directly with the jaw-line to prevent adding more width and harshness.
Instagram @sacaumut
#59: Short Blunt Cut with No Bangs
A short blunt cut without bangs is a great way to elongate a face and bring width to the jawline. Easy maintenance and styling make such short hair ideas versatile for any age range or hair type. Add beach waves to your short blonde hairstyles because they can be roughed up for a more casual look or smoothed and pinned for a more elegant and professional hairstyle.

In late November, a conference convened to assess the production outcomes of northern provinces in 2023 and outline plans for 2024. Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Hoang Trung, acknowledged the challenges posed by unfavorable weather conditions during the 2022-2023 winter-spring crop. Despite these challenges, northern provinces demonstrated promising results in crop production, indicating significant importance given positive market signals and prices.
As of mid-November, Vietnam's vegetable and fruit exports achieved an unprecedented turnover exceeding $5 billion, marking the sector as the fastest-growing among the top 10 key farm export items. Durian exports played a pivotal role, contributing 40% to the total export turnover of the sector, surpassing $2 billion. Other fruits, including jackfruit, watermelon, pomelo, and longan, also experienced substantial growth compared to the corresponding period last year.
The surge in fruit exports can be attributed to heightened demand from China and other countries. By the end of October, exports to China accounted for 66.1% of the total export value of the vegetable and fruit sector, reaching $3.2 billion, reflecting a notable 164.7% increase from the same period in 2022. The vegetable and fruit export turnover is expected to sustain its upward trajectory, potentially reaching $5.5 billion by year-end.
To facilitate effective production regulation, Luong Thi Kiem, deputy director of the Hai Duong Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, proposed that specialized agencies regularly update information about export markets and standards required by importers. This would empower local authorities to adjust production strategies accordingly. Specifically, Hai Duong seeks updated information on non-tariff barriers imposed by various countries, including South Korea, Japan, the US, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, and China, for Vietnamese products like carrots, litchis, cabbage, and chili. The province aspires to export its specialty, litchis, to South Korea.

MASERU — A local film on Aids and HIV prevention, Tšasa, has been battling financial hiccups that have forced its producers to postpone its premiere.
The film was initially set to premiere before World Aids Day on December 1.
Tšasa is an initiative of the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare which is also funding the production.
Producers of the film told Xpress People they started shooting in September but will not be able to deliver anytime before the initial launch date.
The project, including a radio version of the drama, is expected to gobble up M1.3 million.
However, the government has been delaying releasing funds for the project, the producers said.
"Our client, the government, had hoped to launch the film in November in time for the World Aids Day celebration but due to hiccups, the film will only be ready for launching mid-December if things run smoothly from now," Ramahoana Matlosa, one of the executive producers, said.
"If editing of the film started two weeks back the film would have been ready by the first week of December."
Silas Monyatsi, the other executive producer of Tšasa, added: "The film depended highly on South African equipment which was hired so the payment for the services delayed due to the new government payment process hence the delay in launching the film."
The film saw over 600 people taking part in the auditions but only a cast of 130 including extras was chosen.
Monyatsi said they will resume working on the production next week.
"We are looking to have pick-up shoots the weekend of November 20 to allow touch-ups," he said.
"Editing will also consume another month so the film will be ready in December."
The producers will also work on a radio version for Tšasa which will come in 26 episodes.
"We would like to use the same cast but performance and voice power are different so there will be auditions called for the radio version to tap on more talent in the Mountain Kingdom," Monyatsi said.
Matlosa said the film had brought business opportunities to different people in the shooting locations.
"The film benefited about 200 people in total including the cast, transportation, catering and accommodation," he said.
"We managed to let people see that the film industry could be turned into a career path because everyone who took part was paid."

The man responsible for Hitachi's new plant at Newton Aycliffe says local firms will be given every opportunity to bid for construction work.
Hitachi Rail Europe's progress to build an £82m train-building facility on Aycliffe Business Park took one huge step forward this week when a complex deal was finally signed with Newcastle-based landowners Merchant Place Developments (MPD) to build and fit out the plant.
MPD will now look to appoint a main contractor, with around 10 firms – a mix of local and national companies – already shortlisted, while a series of interviews were also being held this week at Hitachi's temporary home, within the Xcel Centre.
Value for money were the key words being used during a construction open day last summer.
But the Japanese manufacturer has reaffirmed its commitment to employ as many North-East workers as possible.
As well as being able to deliver the 43,000sq m plant on time and to strict quality and safety criteria, the winning contractor must prove that it is committed to recruiting apprentices.
Darren Cumner, site manager for the Aycliffe plant, told Aycliffe Today: "The signing of the contract with MPD is a major development because it means we're financially committed now.
"The big announcement last year was the signing of the contract with the government, we've then had to work very hard on a very complex deal with MPD.
"Now that's done, MPD will look to appoint a main contractor, and the winner will be the strongest bidder.
"I understand the companies in the mix range from local firms to national companies, but I'm sure the winning bidder will look to use local, North-East sub-contractors.
"Looking at the bigger picture, there will also be lots of opportunities for local firms to pick up work further down the food chain."
The preferred bidder will be announced this summer before 21 months of building work begins in November. The plant is scheduled to open at the start of 2016.
Hitachi has committed £82m to build its first European train factory in County Durham, and the Government has chipped in with a £4m grant.
About 200 construction workers will be required to build the factory and 730 staff will be employed at the Amazon Park plant to assemble the Super Express Trains for the Great Western Main Line and the East Coast Main Line.
Meanwhile, Darren is fully relocating from his Bristol home to County Durham next month, with his wife, Joanne, and their two-year-old daughter, and is looking forward to life in the North-East.
"The difficulty will be choosing which football team to support," said the Bristol Rovers fan.
"I know all about the rivalry in this area – perhaps I'd be better off remaining neutral!"

On Monday, Bloomberg reported that "[The US Consumer Product Safety Commission] says a ban on gas stoves is on the table amid rising concern about harmful indoor air pollutants emitted by the appliances… 'This is a hidden hazard,' Richard Trumka Jr., an agency commissioner, said in an interview. 'Any option is on the table. Products that can't be made safe can be banned.'" Bloomberg
"The White House on Wednesday asserted that President Joe Biden does not support a ban on gas stoves… earlier Wednesday, following the Bloomberg report, CPSC Chair Alexander Hoehn-Saric clarified in a statement that he is 'not looking to ban gas stoves and the CPSC has no proceeding to do so.'" CNN
The left notes the dangers from gas stoves, but argues that there are no plans to ban them nationwide or remove them from existing homes.
"While in recent years, some cities — including Berkeley, San Francisco, and New York City — have banned natural-gas hookups in new buildings over concerns about both greenhouse emissions and indoor-air quality, few at the federal level are arguing for such measures… Democrats in Congress who have issues with gas stoves have generally been pushing for new rules rather than bans: safety disclosures, and requirements about emission levels or ventilation that are designed to improve indoor air quality."
Margaret Hartmann, New York Magazine
"None of this is new, or a part of a nefarious plot. For years, studies have been revealing the harmful effects of gas stoves on both health and the climate, despite misinformation from the natural gas industry. Growing scientific and public health consensus around this fact has already spurred governmental action (and Republican pushback) at the municipal and countywide level. Berkeley, California, became the first U.S. city to ban gas hookups in newly constructed housing (not taking gas stoves from existing homes) in 2019, and now New York wants to be the first to do so at the state level…
"[The Biden administration] is refurbishing government buildings to go electric, and encouraging homeowners to switch out their gas stoves for electric models through Inflation Reduction Act incentives. Heck, a lot of red states are already there."
Nitish Pahwa, Slate
"Leaping to a ban over other potentially effective and less coercive approaches, and doing so on the basis of relatively ambiguous data, feels like a stereotype of a certain kind of 21st-century progressivism: If we believe in science—and of course we do!—the federal government must institute a ban. Thankfully, this self-caricature was met with calm and graceful dismissiveness on the right. Ha, just kidding! Trumka's remark set off a paroxysm of agitation among conservatives…
"Fox News alone flooded the zone with pro-gas venting: An anguished restaurateur poured out his woes on Tucker Carlson's show; a CPSC spokesperson's limp deflection earned its own write-up; Fox Business carried a barely reworked press release on the topic from a very neutral observer, the American Gas Association; and, naturally, a story involving Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez getting flamed on Twitter was a must…
"The reflex to position gas stoves as the last redoubt of traditional American life, threatened by big government, is just as stereotypical of the contemporary American right as the impulse to instate a ban is of the American left."
David A. Graham, The Atlantic
The right opposes banning gas stoves, and argues that there really is an effort to ban them, at least in new buildings.
The right opposes banning gas stoves, and argues that there really is an effort to ban them, at least in new buildings.
"A member of the government body with regulatory control over gas stoves did actually suggest a ban. CNN reported it under the headline 'A US federal agency is considering a ban on gas stoves, report says.'… After Trumka's statement about a possible ban, the media was full of articles about the dangers of gas stoves. The Washington Post jumped on the bandwagon Tuesday with a story titled 'There's a secret pollution source in 40 million homes. The U.S. may try to ban it.'…
"But the most interesting part of this news cycle was what happened after the CPSC chairman made it clear yesterday that no such ban was going to happen. Suddenly, the media shifted from promoting the idea of a gas stove ban to ridiculing conservatives for even suggesting the idea that a ban was a possibility. So here's that same Washington Post story after it was rewritten yesterday. The new headline which removes the word 'ban' is 'U.S. agency examines secret pollution source in 40 million homes: Gas stoves.'…
"The same day the Post published another story titled 'How the humble gas stove became the latest flash point in the culture wars.'… The carefully revised story is that the GOP had a freakout over nothing at all. I'm sure lots of people will come away believing that's what happened but it's just more media gaslighting."
Jazz Shaw, Hot Air
"When a member of a federal commission says 'any option is on the table' and 'products that can't be made safe can be banned,' you cannot say that 'fears of a ban are unfounded.' I'm sorry, there's no way to make this not sound like a deliberate pun, but no, really, this is indeed gaslighting!"
Jim Geraghty, National Review
"Disconnecting existing stoves and hauling them off is probably years down the road. For now, liberals are banning new gas hookups in houses and apartments, and they are even trying to ban the sale of new gas stoves…
"The goal of many activists and politicians is to phase them out completely as part of a broader campaign of 'electrification,' which in turn is part of a broader campaign of 'decarbonization' and 'zero emissions.' Everyone who has used these words (electrification, decarbonization, and zero emissions) is, by necessity, talking about getting rid of gas stoves…
"As CNN reported in 2022: 'San Francisco passed its own ban in 2020. New York City became the largest U.S. city to pass a version in 2021, with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) vowing to pass a statewide law that would ban natural gas by 2027.' Just this week, Hochul proposed outlawing the sale of gas and oil heating equipment and banning gas hookups in new buildings starting in 2025."
Timothy P. Carney, Washington Examiner
A libertarian's take
"The CPSC commissioner is not wrong that gas stoves produce indoor air pollutants. Even if we didn't have measurements, this would be obvious: Gas stoves burn gas, and combustion produces carbon monoxide, fine particulate matter and other unlovely byproducts you don't want in your house. But missing from this analysis is a sense of proportion. Is this really the best way to address the risks, or might it be better to tell people to turn on the vent hood or open a window before firing up the stove? Could the problem be mitigated with tweaks to stove design? And just how bad is it, compared with other sources of indoor air pollution like, say, cooking itself?…
"Conservatives were right to push back against the idea of a ham-handed government mandate based on less-than-rock-solid evidence. But this shaded over into refusing to hear that indoor air quality matters — and into unfairly maligning electric ranges, which have some real disadvantages but are also better than gas at some tasks, like low simmers… Over time, induction is likely to replace gas stoves anyway… but instead [we now have] a political embarrassment, along with angry backlash from conservatives who now wouldn't install one of those things if you gave it to them for free."

Submitted by: Two Sides Nordics May 3, 2023
The latest research report from Two Sides Europe, the 'Trend Tracker Survey 2023', seeks to understand changing consumer perceptions towards print, paper, paper packaging and tissue products. This unique insight into consumer attitudes towards one of the world's oldest and universally used materials is repeated biennially to monitor and report upon evolving consumer perceptions as environmental awareness intensifies and alternative digital channels of communication become more prevalent.
Results of the 2023 study show clearly that, whilst paper retains its place as a vital communication and packaging material, there remain misconceptions about the environmental impact of the paper industry.
Consumers are not aware that European forests are growing
The 2023 study found that consumers still perceive forests are decreasing in size, with 60% believing European forests are shrinking, although this number has improved since 2021 from 64%. The number of consumers who understand European forests are actually growing in size has improved to 15% in 2023 compared to 10% in 2021. It shows that consumers are becoming more aware of these facts within the myths that surround the paper industry. The truth is, European forests are growing in size and between 2005 and 2020, grew by an impressive 58,390km2 – an area larger than Switzerland and the equivalent to 1,500 football pitches of forest growth every day.1
The survey also showed regional differences in understanding:
Paper and paper packaging's high recycling rates are not understood by consumers
Another common misconception about paper is the amount that is recycled. The survey found that only 18% of European consumers understood that the paper recycling rate exceeds 60%. Again, this has improved slightly from 2021 when it was 16%.
The survey showed that 41% of European consumers believe that paper and paper packaging is wasteful. In reality, Europe's paper recycling rate is currently 74%, with paper packaging even higher at 83%.2
Paper vs electronic communication
Paper and print products are among the lowest greenhouse gas emitters at 0.8%3, whereas the ICT industry accounts for more than 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions (as much as all air traffic). If left unchecked, the ICT footprint could increase to 14% of global emissions by 2040.4 Despite this, 56% of European consumers surveyed in the report think electronic communication is more environmentally friendly than paper communication. Whilst again, this figure has improved from 2021 (60%), it still underlines the ongoing misconceptions around the sustainability of both the paper and electronic communications.
The pandemic brought a change and growth of electronic communication with meetings, events and day-to-day business increasingly conducted online, and consumers relying more on online news. Consumers continue to believe electronic communications are more sustainable.
"Whilst it's good to see there have been some improvements in consumers' perceptions, this report shows there remain many misconceptions surrounding print and paper-based products' impact on the environment," says Jonathan Tame, Managing Director, Two Sides Europe. "Many consumers wrongly perceive European forests are shrinking in size, massively underestimate the paper recycling rate and do not understand the sustainable nature of paper products. These misunderstandings make our work at Two Sides and Love Paper vital."
An executive summary of the Trend Tracker Research 2023 will be published in May and available to industry stakeholders on request. Contact us, to register your interest in receiving this summary, at email@example.com
