For months, theatergoers have clamored for new blood on Broadway, and now they're going to get it. The Nederlander Organization said in a statement that it had acquired the rights to produce a musical based on the Michael Jackson album "Thriller" and its groundbreaking video, in which the King of Pop transforms into a werewolf while he's on a date. The production will feature songs from the "Thriller" album as well as Mr. Jackson's record "Off the Wall." Mr. Jackson is expected to participate in the musical's creation. In a statement, James L. Nederlander, the president of the Nederlander Organization, said, "I love the idea of making 'Thriller' a musical. Girl meets boy, they fall in love, boy has big secret, now what…" A creative team for "Thriller the Musical" was not announced.
VIDEO: Watch John Landis's video for "Thriller" at Michael Jackson's official YouTube channel. (Mr. Jackson reminds you that the film in no way endorses a belief in the occult.)

From the Shirt-Woot website.
The occult scientists in the Masonic Labs thought they were perfecting the ultimate soldier for Freemasonry, a chimpanzee who would carry out any mission against the enemies of the Masons (the Internation Scrabble Federation, the Girl Scouts, the NRA, and especially those stuck-up Rosicrucians). But while the radiation enhanced Bobo's physical and mental abilities to superchimp levels, it did not render him docile. To the contrary. He mastered the secret mysteries in about half an hour, and now sits upon the Masonic Throne. And the covert global network of Fremasonry, all the power amassed through the centuries, will now be an instrument of mankind's ultimate downfall at the hands of our chimpanzee cousins. Tremble, humanity!
I especially like the PM jewel, made from a banana.

"Rampage" Jackson and "King Mo" will be going at it for a second time.
The pair will meet in a heavyweight bout in the main event of Bellator 175, as announced during the Bellator 170 broadcast on Saturday. The event takes place on March 31 at a currently unconfirmed location. So far, it is the only bout that has been announced for the card.
The pair met for the first time at Bellator 120 nearly three years ago where Jackson won a controversial unanimous decision over Lawal.
Since then, Jackson (37-11) returned to the UFC for a catchweight bout against Fabio Maldonado, who he beat by unanimous decision. He then returned to Bellator as a heavyweight and won a split-decision over Olympic gold medalist Satoshi Ishii at Bellator 157: Dynamite 2.
Lawal (20-6, 1 NC) recently suffered a second-round TKO defeat to Mirko Cro-Cop in the second round of the RIZIN FF World Grand Prix. Prior to that, he beat Ishii by unanimous decision.

Gotham: Series Discussion
September 2014
Anybody else catch the premier tonight? Thoughts, opinions, criticisms?
Over-all, I enjoyed the episode. The guy who plays Penguin/Cobblepot is great.
October 2014
Super late but the series has only just aired on Channel 5!
I like it. Will probably watch next week's episode. I find it strange that the show feels like it is set in the 50s or something, and yet people use mobile phones and it suddenly feels like it's set in the early 2000s. Some of the dialogue was fairly "No shit Sherlock", but it was entertaining. My knowledge of Batman pretty much only goes as far as the Arkham games, so it's cool to see some characters from the games as they were when Batman was just a child.
Dunno how I feel about Alfred's portrayal though. Is he meant to talk like he's the head honcho of a sly British gang?
October 2014
I had that thought first too...when is this set. It looks like a 60's period then you look at the cars and technology and its modern day...weird. Maybe its a artistic style the director is going for.
Ignore everything you see in regards to batman's history also I don't think much of it is mainline DC cannon. They are going it on their own, creating their own vision of the batman universe. Which is cool. Please, please, please stay ultra serious. Don't try and involve super villains.
I like the crime wars, dirty cops thing they got going for them at the minute.
October 2014
I've been watching it online (the UK is like 3 episodes behind so I wanted to keep up to date). So far I'm sort of in between liking and disliking it. I like the concept of it, I like the locations they're using, I like the actors they've chosen (particularly Donal Logue as Harvey Bullock and Robin Lord Taylor as Penguin).
However, there are decisions they have made which for the moment I really can't see why. Like Fish Mooney, who grates against me as a character, I don't see the point of her. I don't understand the "Barbara used to be gay" story either, I know their relationship differs in different stories but I don't really understand this one. And some of the choices they've made with characters it feels like they were made just to ram them all into the show rather than because it actually makes sense, like Poison Ivy being that random druggy's daughter, and Riddler working with the police, Catwoman being there in the alley when the Wayne's were killed, it feels shoehorned in. Maybe that'll change in time, maybe their decisions will come good, but right now I'm a bit confused by that.
And also, the general tone of the show is a bit confusing too. Like you have some characters who are being ultra serious all the time and then you've got the young Selina Kyle who feels more animated and more comic booky. There's some really great attempts at moments of buddy cop humour between Bullock and Gordon, but Ben McKenzie is so rigid that it feels wrong, it feels like Bullock is acting like he's in Batman '66 and Gordon is sat there going, "what the hell are you doing?"
So far out of all the comic book related shows I've been watching, Arrow, Flash, Gotham, the pilot for Constantine, Agent's of SHIELD, Gotham feels like the weakest of the lot. Flash is probably the best of the new shows from what I've seen (though I have high hopes for Constantine).
October 2014
Flash is so good. I love Arrow, and the spin-off has been surprising me so far. Totally didn't think it would work.
October 2014
Watched the newest episode of this. Some slight improvement but still meh.
My biggest problem with the show, Fish Mooney. Jada Pinkett Smith does a good job and I'm sure they put a lot of work into her story. But, it's an original character, there is no Fish Mooney in any of the DC universes. And ordinarily that would be fine, I have no problem with writers wanting to put their own spin on things and include original characters. But in Gothams case, the entire show is based on the idea of "look at Gotham before Batman, look how these super villains came to be".
Fish Mooney is doing all this scheming, getting in with the police, getting this girl to get at Falcone, trying to seduce the other mob bosses, the show spends about a quarter of its time looking at her and her schemes, but if she's not going to be there in the current timeline, I don't really care about her schemes because they obviously aren't going to work. It's incredibly obvious that she's going to fail and her and everyone she's been working with is going to end up getting crushed by the Falcone and Maroni families, and Penguin is going to fill the void. So it's like 15-20 minutes of dead air per episode.
October 2014
Simply put, I imagine the first season is gonna be all about Penguin's rise to power? I'm still hoping he names the restaurant he manages the Ice-burg Lounge.
October 2014
At the hope of sounding callous please tell me they don't devote a lot of time to his parents? I've always thought Batman was a naff character compared to all the others and if they keep harping on about his fucking parents I think I'll give this a miss.
October 2014
The Wayne's are mentioned almost every episode, but it's not like they spend a lot of time on it. Bruce started off trying to see if he could find his parents killer, but he's seemingly given up to instead study how Gotham works in terms of where the links are between the mob and everyone else.
Main focus of the show is Gordon and Bullock, with a secondary focus being on Mooney and Penguin.
Yea, I get that that's what they're going for, and what they're doing with Penguin is great. But the last episode they must have done 6 or 7 scenes with/involving Mooney. I'd rather see more of Penguin or Gordon or anybody. It's time that could be better used elsewhere.
October 2014
I have to say that I totally forgot this was on on Monday night. I suppose it didn't interest me enough in the first episode. If there's nothing on in the upcoming Mondays I may watch an episode here and there.

By CNN's Jim Boulden
LONDON, England (CNN) -- The dream of quitting a career in the fast lane for a more balanced, lifestyle-friendly job -- known as downshifting -- does not always work out as planned.
Julie Hurst of the Work-Life Balance Center says the key to successful downshifting is to use work skills to enhance other parts of your life.
Several would-be downshifters cut out too much of their old life in the transition, which is where things often go wrong, she says.
The two parts of the old life that are most commonly missed, she says, are having an income and a work-related social network.
Another common error is to simply move the old life to a new destination, which can also be problematic, she says.
"They'll jet off to the other side of the world where they will then continue to hold down two jobs and do exactly the same thing -- admittedly, probably with a warmer climate, and maybe with a nicer view," Hurst says.
"And if that's all they wanted, that's great. But most people don't solve the problem. And the problem starts internally, it's the psychology of it."
Two years ago Jeremy Hawkins downshifted from London's financial district, where he had worked for 23 years, to a home-based life.
He spends his newfound spare time fishing, socializing, bringing up his baby and helping his wife out with her catering business.
"It's a whole new ball game," he says.
Doctors Andrew Pittaway and Freya Evans have spent 2004 trekking through South America and sailing in Asia.
Evans says taking time out has been easy for the pair because they have always had varied lives.
"It's not as if our careers are the main thing in our life. We've both got a lot of other interests, and a lot of other things we enjoy doing," she says.
Pittaway says they will soon be ready to return to the workplace; in mid-August they will be in Ghana working for a medical charity.
"Although it felt good, I am starting to feel a little as if I ought to be doing something slightly more constructive than what I have been doing for the past six or seven months," he says.

Pull, push or publish...
Information exchanges take place at all levels within an enterprise and between it and its partners. They are intended to enable information collection, retrieval, transfer and storage in support of control system integration. International Standard IEC 62264-5, Enterprise-control system integration – Business to manufacturing transactions, focuses on the information interface between the manufacturing systems and the enterprise systems.
It defines transactions in terms of information exchanges between applications performing business and manufacturing activities and retains three different transactions: a pull, a push and a publish model.
This part of IEC 62264 prepared by IEC SC (Subcommittee) 65E: Devices and integration in enterprise systems, of TC (Technical Committee) 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and automation, was published earlier this year.
It completes the IEC 62264 series, outlining protocols for business-to-manufacturing and manufacturing-to-business transactions, defined as information exchanges. It is based on IEC 62264-1, Models and terminology, IEC 62264-2, Object model attributes and IEC 62264-3, Activity models of manufacturing operations management that describes object and activity models of manufacturing operations.
In the pull model users request data from the provider; the push model, requires an action (processing, changing or cancelling) by users. As for the publish model the data provider or owner publishes it for users (subscribers).
The first model is used for query/reporting, the second for transaction processing and the last one for data synchronization.
Transaction models and business scenario examples
This part of the 62264 standard describes the structure, areas and syntax (verbs and nouns to be used in the messages) necessary for the exchanges to take place.
It provides various transaction models and business scenario examples for exchanges between ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and MOM (Manufacturing Operations Management) for the push, pull and publish models.
This standard, essential to determine the degree of completeness, compliance and conformance of applications, is now available from the IEC webstore.

Inspired by a HBS course I am taking, here is Clayton Christensen talking about deciding what you stand for and stand for is 100% of the time! Enjoy today's Savvy Saturday! – EMC
"You can talk all you want about having a clear purpose and strategy for your life, but ultimately this means nothing if you are not investing the resources you have in a way that is consistent with your strategy. In the end, a strategy is nothing but good intentions
"resisting the temptation whose logic was "In this extenuating circumstance, just this once, it's OK" has proven to be one of the most important decisions of my life. Why? My life has been one unending stream of extenuating circumstances. Had I crossed the line that one time, I would have done it over and over in the years that followed.
The lesson I learned from this is that it's easier to hold to your principles 100% of the time than it is to hold to them 98% of the time. If you give in to "just this once," based on a marginal cost analysis, as some of my former classmates have done, you'll regret where you end up. You've got to define for yourself what you stand for and draw the line in a safe place."
C. Christensen How Will You Measure Your Life?

High-speed rail: "huge waste of taxpayer dollars"
|Fresno Bee
From yesterday's LA Times:
California's bullet train could cost taxpayers 50% more than estimated — as much as $3.6 billion more. And that's just for the first 118 miles through the Central Valley, which was supposed to be the easiest part of the route between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
A confidential Federal Railroad Administration risk analysis, obtained by The Times, projects that building bridges, viaducts, trenches and track from Merced to Shafter, just north of Bakersfield, could cost $9.5 billion to $10 billion, compared with the original budget of $6.4 billion...
The federal document outlines far reaching management problems: significant delays in environmental planning, lags in processing invoices for federal grants and continuing failures to acquire needed property. The California High Speed Rail Authority originally anticipated completing the Central Valley track by this year, but the federal risk analysis estimates that that won't happen until 2024, placing the project seven years behind schedule.
The report, the most critical official assessment of the project to surface so far, is labeled a "confidential draft deliberative document for internal use only" and was presented by senior Federal Railroad Administration executives to California rail authority board Chairman Dan Richard and Chief Executive Jeff Morales on Dec. 1 in Washington.
This analysis puts the state on notice that it could face bigger cost overruns than anticipated and much longer delays than have been made public, a troubling critique by an agency that has been a stalwart supporter and longtime financier of the nation's largest infrastructure project...
This analysis puts the state on notice that it could face bigger cost overruns than anticipated and much longer delays than have been made public, a troubling critique by an agency that has been a stalwart supporter and longtime financier of the nation's largest infrastructure project...
The Federal Railroad Administration is tracking the project because it has extended $3.5 billion in two grants to help build the Central Valley segment. The administration has an obligation to ensure that the state complies with the terms, including a requirement that the state has the funding to match the federal grants.
Rep. Jeff Denham (R Turlock), chairman of the House rail subcommittee, said Friday he would conduct an oversight hearing in the near future and fight any further federal funding. "Despite past issues with funding this boondoggle, we were repeatedly assured in an August field hearing that construction costs were under control," he said in a statement. "They continue to reaffirm my belief that this is a huge waste of taxpayer dollars."

"Despite past issues with funding this boondoggle, we were repeatedly assured in an August field hearing that construction costs were under control," he said in a statement. "They continue to reaffirm my belief that this is a huge waste of taxpayer dollars."
...Other recent documents paint a dark picture of California's ambitious transportation project and help explain some of the performance problems. Audit reports last year, for example, found that the rail authority lacks consistent management processes, takes on unnecessary contract risks, does not have orderly records and is short on clearly defined responsibility for its top officials.
And an internal report obtained by The Times notes a just completed survey in which employees complain that morale is low and has declined in each of the last three years. Employees interviewed by The Times say turnover is consistently high, leaving staff overworked. The rail authority's senior deputy, its chief administrative officer and its top information technology executive recently left. Rail authority spokeswoman Lisa Marie Alley said that the authority takes the issue seriously and that it is "currently making changes that we expect will help in that regard."
About 80% of all bullet train systems incur massive overruns in their construction, according to Bent Flyvbjerg, an infrastructure risk expert at the University of Oxford who has studied such rail projects all over the world. One of the biggest hazards of such megaprojects is a government agency that is attempting to do something highly complex for the first time. The California system is being built by an independent authority that has never built anything and depends on a large network of consultants and contractors for advice.
Engineering and construction experts have warned that early cost and schedule problems will be difficult to reverse and that early cost increases likely will drive up the final cost of the project. Proponents of the project, including many veteran transportation experts, have said that California's massive economy can handle higher costs for the project — even more than $100 billion — by increasing sales taxes or making firm commitments for additional future funding from the state's general fund.
But the Legislature already has balked at giving the rail authority the ability to borrow against future state revenues, saying it would have to make do with existing allocations. And that was before Gov. Jerry Brown warned Tuesday that California's projected 2017/18 budget shows a $1.6 billion deficit...
Brown, meanwhile, has sought to shield the project from interference. He vetoed a bill with bipartisan support in September that would have increased oversight of the project and clarified estimates of how much the project will cost. And last January, a joint committee rejected a proposal to ask the California state auditor to examine the project for the first time in four years.
The federal risk analysis identifies several major problems that have dogged the project for years and proved difficult to remedy. In January 2012, the rail authority said it would start construction in Fresno by June, but it had not purchased a single piece of land. Farmers resisted from the start, saying the route would cut diagonally through some of the nation's most fertile acreage, devastating their operations...
The federal report also raises concerns with the rail authority's billing system. It found that the state authority requires three months to process an invoice — too long, the report suggests. State employees say they are stymied by high turnover, cumbersome computer systems and poor record keeping.
The effort to get through environmental reviews also has taken much longer than expected and is getting worse, according to the federal review. The rail authority has said for at least two years that it would have all of its environmental statements and decisions completed by this year. But the federal review projects that all of the environmental work will not be completed until 2020...
Possible delays do not surprise community activists in the San Fernando Valley. David DePinto, an opposition leader in Shadow Hills, has noted that the rail authority is still conducting geological soil investigations in the San Gabriel Mountains to determine the routes for lengthy tunnels that will pass through the range...

Rates, Products and Services which you can offer to your clients.
With the current financial climate being what it is many of the lenders who had a strong presence in the broker market are simply shutting up shop or pricing themselves out of the market by raising rates, a clear message that they wish to partially withdraw from the market temporarily. This leaves many brokers stranded as their accreditations dissappear.
If you are experiencing a reduced rate of success from your finance referrals with your normal vendor finance broker, it could be because the brokers resources are drying up up due to limited accreditations and not just because of the "Credit Crunch". At Equipfin the doors are open for business and we have many lenders still active and happy to lend.

The plan for the evening, was for a rehearsal out on the lawn and then we thought we were all going over to the home of the bride's parents for a dinner. The rehearsal was to begin at 5:00, but the only people to arrive at that time were the groom and groomsmen. As 6:00 neared, I began to wonder where the bride was. Then, her entire family arrived carrying food containers and told Kelly, Andy's wife, to put the lasagna in the oven and cook it! Eventually, Crystal arrived, but not before Kelly and I scrambled around her kitchen rearranging things to accommodate all the cooking she found herself doing. After taking a head count, I cornered Dan and told him to send the groomsmen to the local grocery store to get some plastic eating utensils, cups, and beverages for the twenty some people that had arrived. I knew Andy and Kelly didn't have enough plates, silverware, etc., to accommodate this crowd.
By 7:30, the rehearsal had still not begun, and the food wasn't yet ready. I decided to head back to my rig at Rice Lake, because I really prefer not to drive after dark. I tip my hat to Kelly for gracefully handling this sudden turn in events.
The festivities on Friday began with a photo session (that lasted several hours) at the Mantorville Park. Hundreds of photos were taken by a professional photographer, but I'll only include two, that were taken by not so professional, me.
The happy bride and groom...Crystal and Daniel, and their dog, Buddy. Later, at the ceremony, I would accompany Buddy down the aisle as he was the ring bearer!
I seldom have all three of my "kids" together at the same time, so I had to take this photo. That's my youngest, Andy, on the left; Daniel in the middle; and Robyn on the right. As you can see, grandchild #4 will be here before too long.
After some brief showers just before the time for the wedding, the ceremony went off without a hitch. I'm thrilled to report that now, all three of my children are happily married. The reception was held at a hall a few blocks away, next to the motel where many of the guests stayed the night. I enjoyed the evening visiting with many old :) friends and my older :) sister and brother-in-law. For our dance together, Dan and I did the Beer Barrel Polka! That got the crowd clapping and having a good time. I received quite a few comments about that choice.
Once again, I headed back to Rice Lake just before darkness enveloped. I must also say, that the food served at the reception was the best chicken dinner I've ever had at a wedding.
As much as Emma can be a pain in the neck, I must say that it has been rather odd not having her here the last two days. I've enjoyed sleeping in until 7:00 both mornings, but I do miss her company. I was supposed to pick her up today at noon at the kennel, but the kennel owner called to say that she had to make a fast trip to Iowa today because of a serious illness in her family. She is hoping to return by 8:00 this evening and will give me a call when she gets back. I hope it is before dark...
This afternoon, my friend, Lois and her new husband are coming out to the park for a cook-out. Lois was, and still is, the school social worker for the alternative school programs I ran in Rochester. Lois is such a positive person, that I know we will really enjoy getting together today.
Don't forget to fly your flag proudly today.........and be safe.
Thanks for stopping by....talk to you later, Judy

New Satisfyer Partner Multifuns offer users multiverse of possibilities
Posted: July 2, 2018
Satisfyer has revealed ambitious plans to launch 30 new products in the next year, starting this month with two new Satisfyer Partner models called Multifun 1 and Multifun 2, names chosen to reflect the new arrivals' versatility: they are couples toys that can also be used solo by him or by her.
Satisfyer vice president of sales Jerome Bensimon explained: "The ergonomic U-shape of the Multifun is highly suitable for use as a massaging scrotum ring – the two feelers softly wrap around the man's shaft and testicles, pleasuring them with deep vibrations. When this is taking place, the body can be placed underneath the penis, in order for the powerful vibrations that are generated by the third motor to stimulate the perineum – the Multifun can also be worn the other way up for just as much fun. And those that wish to include the Multifun in their foreplay sessions can use a feeler to tenderly massage their nipples, or those of their partner. The different vibration programs are excellent for any kind of play."
Satisfyer states that there are 11 different ways the devices can be used, though it expects its users to create more. "There are no boundaries set when it comes to the imagination," said Bensimon.
Multifun 1 comes in ocean blue and Multifun 2 in bonbon pink, and the most obvious other visual difference between the two models is the design of the feelers. Both products are waterproof (IPX7), and described as being easy to clean.
"During development we placed a great deal of emphasis on the materials we used, and are proud to have found and implemented a highly flexible material which has a silk touch feeling," said Bensimon.
He added: "Feedback from consumers is so important and when it comes to the price performance ratio of our product, we have received plenty of praise from those who have purchased them, and the sales figures speak volumes about our concept."
Other new models in the Satisfyer release schedule include vibes and new male devices.
"We have been developing over 30 new toys in the last 10 months, investing our annual sales in research and development," said Bensimon. "Next we will introduce our brand new Satisfyer Vibes line and two new Satisfyer Men devices, incorporating vibration, heating, and rechargeable functions."

Lillestrøm - Nesa Nord
Urban LINK is working on an urban development project assigned by Saint-Gobain and other landowners at Nesa North, just south of the centre of Lillestrøm. The area is about 145 acres, and within walking distance to the train station. The objective of the project is to create an attractive urban district based on progressive principles of sustainable housing in green neighbourhoods.
Lillestrøm is defined as 1 out of 6 regional cities in the "city circle" where the future urban densification around the capital will be located. Lillestrøm is particularly well placed in order to create an environment-friendly city thanks to well-developed public transport hubs around the train station and with a continuous flat topography suitable for walking and cycling. For a long time the municipality has focused on the expansion of a cycle path network, which has given the city the award "the Cycling City of the year" the past few years.
Urbanization in Skedsmo municipality, however, has followed a more dispersed pattern where Strømmen and partly Kjeller has seen stronger growth based on new trade and commercial establishments. This has had consequences for Lillestrøm who have lost attractiveness as a trading place and workplace. Large, city-centre transformation areas along the river front facing Nitelva is still a backside more than an attractive district with urban character and densification. The historic downtown north of the station, surrounded by villa buildings with low density, require that Lillestrøm centre get increased critical mass of housing and jobs in the south to become attractive again as an environmental city-centre. This makes "Lillestrøm south" a great area for potential development. With walking distance to the city centre and the railway station close by, this area can be developed as a natural extension of the centre based on new urban neighbourhoods and commercial areas.
Urban Link is committed to develop Nesa north to a sustainable pilot for Lillestrøm. The development will take place in several stages and recruit other important developments in the area (for example the AHUS-train, development of the river front facing Nitelva and future transformation of Nesa Southern area). The vision is to create a district with attractive urban neighbourhoods based on walking and cycling. The area is located in the transition between the urban structure in west and "Scandinavias Amazon" to the east where the river meanders through the protected landscapes. The estuary of Leira and Nitelva forms a beautiful wetland that make up Scandinavia's largest inland delta with great possibilities for boating and swimming. The flat landscape is ideal for developing the bicycle-town Lillestrøm. At Nesa we believe that the best area to live is in the tangency area between urban city environments and lush natural areas. We imagine that at Nesa the day begins with a walk down to the Nitelva-river for a morning swim before you walk down to work downtown or jump on the train to Gardemoen.

One of the greatest responsibilities spa professionals take upon themselves is to create a safe and welcoming environment for clients. Although a primary client expectation is that an intended result is delivered within a clearly-defined scope of practice, it is just as essential to have positive energy generating and a comfortable setting for clients when they visit. There are different approaches to creating an ambiance that encourages a stress-free experience, especially one that will help even the most anxious clients relax. Factors to consider include: the setup of the space, lighting, décor, sound, aroma, and, of course, the garb and manner itself in which staff and the practitioners present themselves.
The first step to paving the way to great client experiences is to ensure that the receptionist is friendly and patient during the process of booking an appointment. A basic tip for the staff is to always smile when speaking with clients. Frankly, the impact of a smile is an easy way to assure that the voice will carry across as warm and clients will feel more comfortable. Synchrony is another effective technique to build rapport with clients. By subtly mimicking clients' manner, such us their body language or tone of voice, they will subconsciously let their guard down.
Engaging as many senses as possible will, certainly, support the way clients feel. Having natural or warm lighting in the spa allows for an organically serene mood. In addition, a warmly lit room is forgiving when looking in a mirror, meaning it does not bring attention to skin or even body imperfections that, otherwise, would dramatically be noticeable under halogen or bright lights, for example. It is critical to make sure that clients do not feel self-conscious in any way.
Regarding décor, be careful with the placement of mirrors around the spa. Overall, there really is no need to have a mirror hanging on the wall in the treatment room. It is better to avoid any potential awkward moments that can cause clients to be uncomfortable or feel as though they are being watched or exposed in any way.
Clients should be able to indulge in soothing botanical aromas throughout the spa. Having fragrant candles certainly is great for the senses, but if it is a hazard, essential oil diffusers provide a safe alternative. Some essential oils that are calming and promote relaxation include lavender, vanilla, rose, jasmine, frankincense, and chamomile. Consider, also, adding a drop of de-stressing essential oils to hot towels. For clients who are still anxious, even after they are already in the treatment room, place an aroma-infused hot towel against their neck and forehead for a few minutes, before beginning the service. This trick triggers a deep breathing effect, which encourages the release of stress. Rest the palms gently, but firmly, on clients' shoulders to let them feel secure and reassured that they are in good hands.
A rewarding aspect of this profession is being able to make a difference. A top priority and goal for any professional is making sure that clients leave the spa in a better state than how they entered. Ultimately, that is what gives the industry greater meaning, respect, and value.
Conjunctivitis, commonly known as pink eye, occurs when the conjunctiva becomes inflamed. It turns very pink or red due to its many blood vessels dilating in response to an irritant. There are several types and causes for conjunctivitis.
Bacterial Conjunctivitis: This form is highly contagious. Signs include red eyes, itchy eyes, and a sticky yellowish green eye discharge. The only way to clear the eyes of this particular conjunctivitis is to see a doctor for an antibiotic prescription.
Viral Conjunctivitis: This is highly contagious and can be spread by direct contact and shared makeup. Signs are red, watery, itchy eyes. It may also make eyes sensitive to light.
Allergic Conjunctivitis: This type can cause severe irritation and swollen lids with itching. The eyes can be itchy, burning, and red. This can be caused from eyelash extension adhesive (so make sure eyes are shut properly to limit exposure of vapors getting into the eyes.) It can also be caused from creams, cleansers, and facial products getting in the eye. Eye drops can soothe and re-lubricate the eye.
Environmental Conjunctivitis: This form can occur due to exposure – whether it is from ultraviolet exposure, a patient sleeping under a fan with incomplete eyelid closure at night, or seasonal allergies. Eye drops can help as long as infection does not set in.
Unclean contacts can cause a bacterial infection which would need antibiotics to remedy. Contact lenses can also cause irritation. Eye drops made for contact lenses could help.
If applying eyelash extensions on someone and their eyes become red, this is chemical conjunctivitis and can be relieved with eye drops. If skin care products cause the eyes to become red, use eye rinse to flush out the eyes.
To ensure client wellness and safety, always do the following prior to beginning any treatment: look into the eyes; check for any red flags; point out anything of note to the client; take a picture; document findings on the client's intake form; assess but never diagnose; and ask questions. These questions might include, "How long have you had red eyes?"; "Do they itch?"; "Do they feel dry or gritty?"; "Do they Burn?"; "Have you noticed a discharge?"; and "Have you noticed any swelling?"
If the client is unable to answer these questions or has not yet seen a doctor, tell them it is best not to perform the service today and to wait to reschedule until the condition clears up. If it does not clear up by the next day, or there are any other symptoms, recommend he or she see an eye doctor. Red eyes could be the start of viral or bacterial conjunctivitis. If services are performed and the client does have conjunctivitis, it will be a recipe for disaster.
In the spa industry, professionals are usually very busy taking care of clients, preparing their spas for seasonal events and sales, and working extra hours to accommodate everyone during the holiday season. Professionals often miss family gatherings, shopping with friends, and taking the time to get into the holiday spirit themselves. It is just as important to focus on self during holiday preparation, as it is on business.
When today's baby boomers first entered the workforce, and went on to take it over, employees came to their place of employment and, if all went as planned, stayed there for the duration of their career. This was, in essence, what was expected on both ends.
The workforce has changed considerably in recent decades. Long-term career loyalty is no longer the case. Employers consider themselves lucky if an employee stays more than two years and spending a decade or more with an employer is almost non-existent.
With all of this transition, what happens when a former employee asks to come back to work? While some might immediately consider this to be a hard "no," it may be valuable to evaluate several things before making a decision.
First, who wants the employee to come back: the spa or the employee? If a spa owner must beg an ex-employee to come back, the situation is ultimately going to end with him or her leaving again, and this time, it would most likely be sooner than later. The employer will end up in the same position all over again.
Also, consider why the employee originally left. What made the employee decide they wanted to come back? Where would the employee fit if hired back?
There are all sorts of reasons people leave their current workplace. It could be that they leave in order to make more money or to secure a higher-level position not available in a small practice or spa. Or, they may have needed to move out of town when they got married or a spouse got transferred. It could be that someone made them an offer they just could not refuse. It could also be that the spa had another incredibly toxic staff member at the time that caused a mass exodus. If any of those reasons are the case, it may still very well be in the spa's best interest to engage in a conversation about working together again.
Once they are back and want to talk about returning to work, consider a few additional things. If it truly was the decision of the former employee to leave, look at what made them want to return to the location. Maybe they realized the grass really was not greener on the other side. Or, did they miss the spa's family-like atmosphere and drama-free environment? Did they go somewhere else, get more experience, and now the spa has a higher-level position available? Did they move out of town and now they are back? While surely no employer wants to play second fiddle to an ungrateful employee, sometimes, there is validity in the expression, "If you love something, set it free; if it comes back, it was meant to be."
Do not be afraid to ask the former employee questions about why they left and why they are returning point blank. Also, consider how their departure went and how bringing the employee back would affect the morale of the rest of the team.
Now, be aware, there are certain conditions in which it does not make sense to engage in a conversation about re-hiring a former employee. If the former employee was anything but a rockstar, it most likely does not make sense. Consider if the employee was ever any of the following while working previously: lazy, consistently late, rude to clients, stole from the office, caused drama amongst the rest of the team, or made life flat-out miserable. If the answer is yes to any of these – then, rehiring is not a good idea. Those items are deal breakers. In cases like those aforementioned, it is more than likely that, in the time since the employee left, the spa has built a stronger, more cohesive team – one that would likely be disrupted and ruined with the reintroduction of this former staff member and their drama-filled ways. Do not go there.
Finally, above all, go with instinct. If instinct says that something is a bad idea, then stay away.
The key to creating a healthy, competitive environment for a spa is teamwork. Addressing staff as a team is the first step. This sets the tone that it is not one person that determines the success of the spa or satisfaction of the client, but the team as one unit. A client will most likely interact with at least two, if not three or more, employees at any given visit. It is important that team members understand this and are working together as a unit, first and foremost.
Time at work consumes the majority of waking hours for many people. The workplace can feel like a second home to some. For others, it can be a hostile environment. This is why creating a welcoming culture is essential for every company. Here are the five critical components for fostering a positive and healthy work environment.
Open communication and being present are imperative. Ask questions to discover what is going well and what challenges employees are facing. Listen intently and ask how to help. Then, follow through on promises to show that their feedback and input matter.
One way I do this at my company is through a five-minute huddle at the same time every day. Each team member shares a priority for the day, a highlight from the day before, a roadblock that stands in the way of meeting a goal, and something uplifting (like recognizing a colleague for a job well done).
When employees do not have the knowledge or tools to do their jobs well, a recipe for frustration, job dissatisfaction, and careless work begins to simmer.
Talk with employees about what they aspire to achieve in their careers to best help them on a course of learning that will help them succeed.
No one feels excited about going to work where the vibe is drab and mundane. If given the choice between working in a dynamic environment of optimism or one steeped in stagnant negativity, the choice seems obvious. Strive to create a work atmosphere that motivates and inspires employees.
Gauge the success of the company's culture daily by listening for laughter and looking for smiles that indicate employees are enjoying their work and each other. Try taking an hourly, five-minute break in which the team engages in an agreed-upon group exercise – like sun salutations, lunges, or crunches – to get blood pumping and creative juices flowing. Staff members often work in different locations in the building, so these mini-breaks bring them together to do something positive. Another suggestion to encourage comradery is to have everyone pitch in to create a potluck lunch once a month.
Positive team culture is sacred. From rigorous vetting processes when hiring to holding everyone accountable for poor behavior, professionals should vehemently protect the harmony they build for their teams.
Demonstrate integrity as the leader and make it clear that the same is expected from employees.
As a business leader, setting goals is important – not only for the professional, but for keeping employees motivated, as well. Developing an incentive program based on goals can help – especially when it includes a common goal that team members can achieve by working together. By enabling team members to collaboratively overcome challenges and reach goals, professionals aid employees in increasing their individual self-confidence.
These ideas are just a few of the many things professionals can do to establish a work environment that is not only non-toxic, but also wholly appreciated.
Ingredient lists displayed on retail products abide by the International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI), which is an internationally-recognized system of identifying all ingredients in a product. Ingredients in concentration of 1 percent or higher are listed in descending order, followed by ingredients in concentration of less than 1 percent in any order. However, when it comes to judging the effectiveness of a product, there are more factors than just percentage to consider.
Numerous uninformed opinions on product ingredients can be found on the internet. This article will address four of them.
"Only the first five ingredients matter."
The first few ingredients listed on a product label are typically solvents and emulsifiers that add texture to the product, with some active ingredients following.
Ingredient suppliers recommend percentage ranges for actives to use in formulations. Brands focusing on results are likely to formulate at the high end of the range, whereas brands competing on price may use percentages below the recommended range as a marketing claim. This being said, effectiveness per percentage used depends on the ingredients. While some ingredients can be used in high percentages, such as some plants, others are effective in small percentages. This is true of actives such as retinol, for which 0.05 percent is high. This is easier to understand when looking at the percentage of a prescription cream bought at a pharmacy: the active ingredients may be 0.01 percent or 0.05 percent. This is enough to be effective and more could harm.
"If the ingredient name is not simple, it must be harmful."
This is not always the case. Most ingredients, such as solvents, emulsifiers, or surfactants, have chemical-sounding names because they are called by their scientific names. For example, cetearyl alcohol sounds like a chemical, but it is an ingredient extracted from coconut. Ingredients like this are necessary to make lotions, creams, serums, scrubs, masks, or gels and, when well-chosen, are healthy for the skin. Products cannot be made solely with actives.
"Good products must have hyaluronic acid, peptides, or DNA."
Two products can have the same ingredients and INCI, and one is effective and the other not, because the INCI gives no indication of the quality of an ingredient. Hyaluronic acid, for instance, could be of high quality and high molecular weight and cost 50 times more than a low quality hyaluronic acid of low molecular weight. High quality ingredients deliver results, but a high percentage of a poor quality ingredient will not make a good product.
"The fewer ingredients, the better."
Think of the variety of foods and nutrients a person must eat for a healthy body, like vitamins, minerals, trace elements, antioxidants, and so forth. The same is necessary for the skin. Skin can suffer many issues, such as dehydration, free radicals, redness, acne, aging, or pigmentation. Many ingredients may be required to correct such problems. Effective products have many ingredients that work in synergy. For example, to replace a synthetic color additive, such as blue No. 5 in a toner, it takes 30 flower extracts to make a natural alternative that also delivers skin benefits. This makes for a long INCI.
When it comes to understanding INCI and product labels, manufacturing methods, quality of formulation, percentages, and quality of ingredients must all be considered. Also, remember that some manufacturers disclose the sources of their ingredients, but not all do. The key to choosing quality products with trusted ingredients is doing research and staying informed. The effort is well worth it, as better ingredients equals better results.
Unhealthy self-esteem is closely linked to an unhealthy addiction to perfectionism. This addiction breeds more insecurity, which further decimates self-esteem. Many have watched others endure great stress to be perfect, only to discover perfection only exists behind rose-colored glasses.
As the months speed by and seasons change, skin undergoes changes too, such as dehydration, flaking, roughness, redness, and cracks – all of which are signs of imbalance in the epidermis and dermis. Facial treatments can re-establish balance in the client's skin.
Sleep is a time to recover, repair, and restore damage to the body that is created from the stresses of the day. In response to stress, people produce more cortisol. High levels of cortisol suppress serotonin, the hormone needed for sleep, thereby preventing the body from shutting down and going into a deep sleep.

One of the enduring findings of the 9/11 report was the fact that first responders on the ground in New York were unable to communicate readily with reach other in the first hours after the crisis. Congress responded by approving funds for an envisioned nationwide emergency communications system, but now lawmakers are wondering if taxpayers will ever get a truly interoperable system to solve the problem.
One of the big topics on Capitol Hill these days, interoperability was the focus of an oversight hearing by the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security. Here's the crux of the hearing, boiled down to this frustrating reality voiced by Kentucky Republican Hal Rogers, ranking member of the subcommittee, who rankles at the one billion dollars appropriated thus far by Congress to improve first responder interoperability: "Over the last three fiscal years, only 6.4% has been spent. That means there's more than $997 million that could be out on the streets helping our first responders meet their interoperability needs."
And just to underscore things, Rogers told the three representatives from the Department of Homeland Security testifying on the issue of interoperability that recent weather related crises in his home state made the ability of first responders to communicate a matter of life and death.
Kentucky, just a month ago, had that terrible ice storm, that covered the entire state. Huge amounts of ice that devastated the state. But the main initial impact was there was no communications. The governor of the state didn't know if anyone in any part of the state was injured. There was no communications. The towers went down, the wires were broken, electric power was cut off, there was no communications to the rest of the state. And yet this money is laying here, waiting for the state to pick it up.
Rogers wasn't the only member of the subcommittee with that complaint and a palpable level of frustration. Members of the subcommittee from North Carolina, California, New York and Texas all vented their questions about why interoperability isn't as far along as it should be after three years.
The answer, says Chris Essid, Director of the Office of Emergency Communications at DHS, is not as cut and dried as one might think.
We're coordinating with FEMA's Grants Directorate to do everything we can to inform folks what grants are out there, to get feedback on what could be improved in the grants process so money can be drawn down faster. But some of these projects they're applying for are very technical in nature. Like procuring a state-wide (communications) system for example. That system purchased in Virginia, that they didn't spend any (federal interoperability) grant funds on, it took them six years to move from the initial idea to actually purchase equipment.
And Ross Ashley, Assistant Administrator for the Grants Program Directorate at FEMA, says the solution is not as simple as approving huge pots of federal grant money.
Just because the money is sitting in the federal treasury doesn't mean its not being used. Projects are out there in every state that are being executed today. It just takes time for the states to draw down funding. Some states only draw down funds once a year. They actually reconcile their books, and then draw down from the federal government.
Ashley goes on to say that if the availability of a grant is not carefully timed to the budget process in some states, it is possible that the state would not be eligible for the funds for as long as 23 months.
The consensus among the subcommittee is that DHS and FEMA are making steady, but slow progress on the road to interoperability. North Carolina Democrat David Price, the subcommittee chairman, offered this assessment of the hearing.
Let a dedicated public servant know how much you appreciate them this month through our 2nd annual May We Say Thank You campaign
The very testimony they've given about some of the progress they've made raise our expectations for the future, in terms of how these systems are working out and the ability to get them to communities that need them, so that we don't have these horror stories of disasters occurring and emergency responders not being able to talk to each other.

The Most Complete Multimedia Backup SolutionsAs the world's most complete multimedia backup solution package, DVDFab 11 offers four major modules, Copy, Ripper, Video Converter and Creator, and a bunch of other useful utility tools with amazing features.
Having all your favorite movies in digital format is a great idea but every now and again you may want to convert and burn some of them on DVD discs. After all, DVDs are much easier to carry around than your whole computer or even just your hard drive. But in order to directly convert a format like MKV to DVD, you're going to need specialized software that was designed with this specific function in mind. But which software should you use? Well as it happens, we know the perfect one that will let you burn MKV to DVD on both Windows and Mac quickly and easily.
Part 1: How to Convert MKV to DVD on Windows
The best way to convert MKV to DVD on Windows is by using DVDFab DVD Creator. The software can support many different files types in addition to MKV and can convert them into any kind of DVD format, such as DVD-9, DVD-5, DVD-R, and more. Not just that but you can easily create multiple copies of the DVD with this tool and then burn them to blank discs or save them as ISO image files or movie folders for later use. Another great feature of DVDFab DVD Creator is that it allows you to set navigation menus to the DVDs you're creating. There are several menu templates to choose from, all of which can be customized in order to create unique menu profiles with special modifications. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to convert an MKV file to DVD using DVDFab DVD Creator:
1. Open DVDFab 11 and select the Creator module from the top menu. Go to the Profile Switcher and make sure to select the DVD Creator option. Load the MKV video/s you want to convert either by dropping them in the main UI or simply by clicking the "Add" button and navigating to their location.
2. Before we convert the MKV to DVD it's time to make a few changes. First, click the little wrench icon to open up the Advanced Settings menu. Among other things, here you can change the name, video quality and the type of DVD format you want to convert to. We're setting the output to DVD9 for this example but feel free to choose a different option.
3. Next, it's time to set the menu for our DVD. To get started, click the Set Menu button and select one of the premade templates from the right-hand side. You can also use the little arrow button to change the style of the template. If you're looking to make the menu a bit more unique click the first icon found in the lower left corner to select a different background or the icon next to it if you want to play around with the text settings.
4. Use the bottom menu to select a suitable location for the output and then click the Start button to begin the MKV to DVD conversion.
Part 2: How to Convert MKV to DVD on Mac
Here we will show you how to convert MKV to DVD with DVDFab DVD Creator for Mac.
1. Similar to the previous example, begin by opening the new DVDFab 11 for Mac client and selecting the Creator module. Select the Profile Switcher and then click the DVD Creator option. Load the MKV file you want to convert either by using the "Add" button or the drag & drop method.
2. Click the Advanced Settings button to open up a new menu. Here you can change the name, output, and video quality of the file while also making modifications to the Menu Properties and Playback Mode. Click OK when you're done to proceed to the next step of the MKV to DVD conversion.
3. Click the Set Menu button and select a default template if you don't want to spend time on making adjustments. But if you do want something a bit more special, click the first icon located near the bottom to select a different background for the menu. Even better, you can click the "+" button to add your own image that can be used as the background. It's worth mentioning that you can also click on other elements of the template, including widgets and text, and change those as well.
4. Once everything looks good, click the OK button and then use the bottom menu to save the new output or burn it directly to a blank disc. Finally, click the Start button and then simply wait until the MKV to DVD conversion is complete.
Part 3. How to Convert MKV to DVD Using a Free Tool
1. The free tool we're using in this example is Freemake Video Converter so go ahead and download the software if you don't have it already. Once that's done, click the "Video" button to select the MKV file you want to convert.
2. Click the scissors icon to open up a new menu that gives you access to a few basic editing tools. Among other options, here you can cut or rotate the video. From the main UI, you can also select the audio or add subtitles if needed.
3. Use the arrow buttons to help you navigate the bottom menu and search for the option labeled "to DVD". Click that button and then choose a menu template. Then, choose the video quality and where you want to save the file or burn onto a blank disc.
4. Once everything is ready, click the Convert/Burn button and wait until the software finishes processing your file.
Converting MKV to DVD is a pretty simple and straightforward process, though you may want to spend a bit of time and play around with all available options if you want a unique menu. A lot of tools allow you to do that but very few contain the range of templates and backgrounds provided by DVDFab DVD Creator. Not to mention the fact that you can adjust individual elements and add your own backgrounds. Menus aside, DVDFab DVD Creator is also one of the fastest and most reliable tools on the market today so make sure to give it a try the next time you want to convert an MKV file to DVD.

The Doctor and Clara arrive in a mysterious isolated house, summoned once again by a member of the Winter family…
The second story in this audio-only series is read by David Schofield, who plays Odin in the upcoming Viking TV tale. While his Scottish accent is convincing, if not quite from the right area for Peter Capaldi's incarnation, he captures the impatience of the Time Lord well, as the Doctor is once again forced to help a Winter despite not knowing exactly why the mysterious card was given to the family, or what power it has over the TARDIS to make it obey instantly.
Harrison Winter (not Justin per the back cover) seems desperate to get out of the house in which he is trapped, and hopes that the TARDIS will be his means of escape, but it's clear early on that he's not playing straight with the Doctor and Clara. Who are Winter's two companions? And what is the importance of the blood moths that are constantly flying around the place?
George Mann stretches out his story to fill the full 80 minutes of the CD, although the middle section does feel a bit drawn out, and there's ever-increasing incidental music that sometimes draws attention away from the tautness that Schofield brings to the reading.
Verdict: A standard adventure for the Doctor that perhaps could have benefitted from running a few minutes shorter. 6/10

Full lace wigs are one of the highest quality and most naturally looking lace wigs you can get. With full lace wigs, hair is hand-tied to a thin Swiss Lace that covers the entire head. This increases the number of styling options you have without revealing that you are actually wearing a wig.
Not long ago, lace wigs were practically exclusive to the celebrity community given the amount of effort and money it took to make these quality wigs. Today, lace wigs are accessible to a lot more women. Lace wigs are so popular because of how natural they look. With lace wigs, hair is planted on a thin soft lace material that matches the colour of your scalp. Because of this, when the hair is parted it appears as if you are looking at the scalp and not the lace material itself.
Volure sells a wide range of full lace wigs. Please note that we currently do not sell Silk Top Full Lace Wigs given the difficulty in maintaining them. Hence all our full lace wings are lace top (and not silk top based). With our full lace wigs, you can choose either a glueless cap or a removable cap. All our full lace wigs come with virgin hair, which are available in a variety of styles: straight, body wave, afro curl, celebrity style, or fringe style. Basically, whatever you need, we've got you covered. Please note that our wigs are typically custom made to your specifications to provide the best fit and look. It takes approximately 4 weeks from ordering to pick up date. We offer a limited selection of in-stock wig for those that want something immediately. With quality virgin remy hair used in all our wigs, you need not look any further if your want the ultimate in full lace wigs.
Browse selection and in the event you can't find what you are looking for contact us and we'll make a plan for you.
About Full Lace Wigs
Full lace wigs are wigs that have a cap and a thin lace on top of the cap. The lace is sewed on the cap, and then hair is sewed on the thin lace to form a full sew in weave. The lace material in full lace wigs cover the whole head and can be cut to match the wearer's hairline. Once cut, the full sew in weave is ready to be installed by a variety of methods, worn and styled in any way. Full lace wigs give you the flexibility to style your hair as you wish, be it in a ponytail, up-do or a normal hair down style. Wigs such as these are as natural as you can get. These lace wigs are made such that the wig hairs appear to be growing from your own scalp. Moreover, these lace wigs are light, breathable and can be parted anywhere along the scalp.
Clients love full sew in weaves because they give their natural hair a chance to grow back and restore their original hair line in some cases.
Full Lace Human Hair Wigs Versus Lace Front Wigs
When it comes to lace wigs, there are two main types. Full lace human hair wigs (or simply full lace wigs) and lace front wigs (aka front lace wigs). While they are both lace wigs, there is a big difference and the choice of going for one versus the other is quite important in terms of cost and also styling options.
To begin, full lace human hair wigs have the lace material covering the entire head. The reason this is important is that full lace wigs give you the option of parting your hair in many different places. In other words, with full lace human hair wigs, you have more styling options. However, it's important to remember that this great feature also makes full lace wigs a bit more delicate. Therefore, you should think of full lace wigs are offering more options (and thus cost more), but they are also more delicate. Lace front wigs on the other hand have the lace material only at the front of the wig. This is not a big disadvantage since the front of the wig (e.g. the crown) is where people put most partings. The back part of a front lace wig is made of wefts attached to tracks as you would attach a weave onto cornrows. So, with front lace wigs, it's important to make sure that the tracks on the back of the wig are not exposed (e.g. no updos). All that said, lace front wigs are significantly more durable, cost less (about 25% to 30% less than full lace wigs) and are easier to repair when they are damaged. Pay attention to our wigs for sale specials. Volure's wigs for sale promotions can save you big bucks and bring within your budget that lace wig you've always wanted!
The bottom line is that both full lace wigs and lace front wigs have their advantages and disadvantages. Depending on what you are going for one may be more appropriate than the other. If you are confused, go with a lace front wig or contact us for additional advice.
Attaching a Full Lace Wig with Glue or Sew In Method
Although some ladies install their lace wigs with glue, we avoid this method entirely. Installing lacewigs with glue can be quite messy and can damage the client's hairline if not done properly. Because every client's skin chemistry is different, the hold time for even the best lacewig glue can vary widely, with some clients only having a secure hold for 1-2 weeks. This means that such clients always have to come back to get the wig reapplied or do it themselves.
Our preferred installation method is sew in. A full sew in weave will last up to a month or more, and requires very minimal maintenance. Since we only sell full lace wigs with baby hair, clients need not worry about how the edges of the wig will look as the baby hair conceals the hairline quite nicely.
Human Hair Wigs and Knot Sealers
One often-overlooked trick with human hair wigs is the use of knot sealers. With time, any human hair wig will shed and lose the hair density it had at time of purchase. Full lace human hair wigs are even more vulnerable because the hair is delicately attached across the entire head (as opposed to lace front wigs that only have the delicate section at the front of the wig). Whether you are wearing a Brazilian full lace wig or any other type, the vulnerability will remain. Knot sealers are spray adhesives that are sprayed inside the wig to reinforce the hair attachments to the lace material. Spraying should be done before the wig is installed and every time it is washed (after it has dried). Reinforcing the hairs of a human hair wig is essential to fully enjoying your purchase. Volure stocks high quality knot sealers that can be used on lacewigs and lace closures alike.

Automotive Lubricants Aftermarket : Overview
Automotive Lubricant is a substance made of base oil, which is derived from crude oil, and additive package. The base oil used in lubricant formulations is of mineral, synthetic, and semi-synthetic in nature and significantly determines the properties of finished lubricants. Additives are added to the base oil to impart various properties and improve its performance. Lubricant additives are inorganic and organic compounds that are dissolved or suspended as solids in lubricants or base oils. The aftermarket for automotive lubricants deals with lubricants required or consumed by an automotive vehicle after its purchase over its lifespan. Lubricants are used for their ability to increase the operating lifespan of mechanical parts. They can also eliminate any residue deposited over mechanical parts.
Almost all the lubricant manufacturers derive a significant portion of their revenue from the aftermarket.
