How to achieve your targets with digital transformation
Matching themes: digital transformation
Digital transformation, what a nice and trendy topic that is in everyone's mouth, but not yet implemented in everyone's company.
In fact, digital transformation is getting popular due to the democratization of technology and relatively lower cost of acquisition. More and more companies look at it closer and closer, some jump into it, while others still wait and see. Nothing wrong with that. This is part of the normal cycle regarding technology adoption.
The only difference is that in the past decade, companies still had time to wait, see, and then move forward. Nowadays, even though the key question remains "WHEN", the truth is that there is not much time to waste on the "wait & see" pushing companies to start taking action and the real question is at "WHAT SPEED".

Tudor Black Bay Bronze Plays into History
Bronze has played an important role in history. An entire age of our past was named after the metal. Now, a new addition to the successful and popular Tudor Black Bay line of diver's watches has also donned the name—and the metal. Black Bay Bronze builds on that line, in some ways quite literally.
For starters, other Black Bay models come in at 41mm, while Bronze measures 43. With that extra 2mm comes a bit more heft; Bronze ways a full 16 grams more than other models. Tudor also added numerals at 3, 6, and 9, but kept the triangle marker at 12.
Inside the Bronze watch runs the Tudor caliber MT5601. This particular movement has a reputation for accuracy and durability. It also has a balance bridge in place of the balance cock, which results in improved resistance to shock. Bronze also features a silicon balance spring and a free-sprung adjustable mass balance. As for power reserve, Bronze comes in with 70 hours.
For looks, of course you'll notice the bronze—and you'll keep noticing it. Bronze oxidizes over time, creating a patina, which is affected not only by the type of bronze used, but also atmospheric conditions. All of that means that the Black Bay Bronze will be completely unique to you, with no two being exactly alike. The watch comes with a leather or fabric strap.
Black Bay Bronze will be an important addition to your personal history, just like bronze was to human history.

The English performer Sharon D. Clarke has lent her formidable presence to many an American title on the London stage, from her 2014 Olivier Award-winning performance in James Baldwin's The Amen Corner to Ghost the Musical, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, and her current and tumultuous star turn as Caroline Thibodeaux in the Tony Kushner/Jeanine Tesori musical Caroline, or Change. Though keen to safeguard her voice, the ever-buoyant Clarke took time one recent afternoon to talk to Broadway.com about the challenges, and the thrill, of inhabiting this part eight times a week at the Playhouse Theatre.
How are you coping with this momentous role?
What's wonderful is that [the Playhouse] is our third theater [following runs in Chichester and the Hampstead] and we've had pauses in between where I have had time first of all to forget the part completely and then to take stock and come at it again. It's a big sing so to be able to then get the time off that you need for the voice to recover means you can come at it still fresh. It's not like I'm going, "Oh my God, I'm in my 50th week and I'm dying!"
What are you building into your routine so as to keep match fit for the part into April?
Sleep! Sleep and water: I live with my straw. If I don't get eight hours sleep, I'm not singing anything and if I can get nine hours sleep then I'm good. It's not a straight sleep, though, because I drink so much that I'm up through the night going to the loo—the sleep is all broken up.
Did you know the show prior to being offered it?
Yes, I went along to see it [at the National in 2006, with Tonya Pinkins recreating her Broadway role] because I had friends in the cast: Clive Rowe and Anna Francolini. Like most people coming to see Caroline, or Change, I was, like, "What the hell is this? What do you mean there's a washing machine in it?" And what I got was something so moving and deeply charged with history. I went from, "What am I seeing?" to "What have I just seen?!"
Have you been chasing the part of Caroline ever since?
Absolutely not. When I heard that Ma Rainey's Black Bottom was happening at the National, I did say to [NT artistic director] Rufus Norris, "I hear you're doing Ma Rainey; that's all I'm saying." But this one came about when I got a call from [Chichester artistic director] Daniel Evans who asked me if I would do the show and I said, "Yes, of course" and thought to myself, "thank goodness I know the score and know the role."
Do you think Caroline listens to the music of Ma Rainey on the radio that features prominently as a character in your show?
Oh yeah, she comes from that era! Ma Rainey would have been right about that time, and Caroline would have definitely listened to her growing up and to someone like Bessie Smith. She would have found knowledge in [those singers'] pain and in their recognition of what life can be like.
How do you build each night towards the great 11 o'clock number, "Lot's Wife," which you have performed on several occasions as a standalone showstopper?
That song is all about the culmination of every feeling Caroline has had from the top of the show: pent-up anger, anxiety, guilt, loss, grief. Then comes the moment where she has to come to terms with everything and release it in song. She rages and rages and rages and then asks for forgiveness.
Given the show's cast of characters includes an array of singing appliances, are you ever disappointed in your home life to have a washing machine that doesn't sing?
[Laughs.] I love that: no one's ever asked me that before! You know, if Me'sha Bryan [who plays the part onstage] popped out of my washing machine, I think I would shit my pants. I think I would also sit back and let the soap wash over me!
How do you feel to be moving on directly from this to Marianne Elliott's much-anticipated all-black revival at the Young Vic in May of Death of a Salesman, co-starring Wendell Pierce from TV's The Wire?
What is really lovely is to be 40 years into my career and to now be at a stage where I am approached by people, as I was with Marianne who said she'd like to meet me to discuss [Salesman]. We talked about the piece and what I thought of Linda Loman and what might be my way in with her and at the end she asked me if I wanted to do it and I said yes. Don't get me wrong: there are roles where I've still got to audition but to just get a phone call about a role is a great place to be.
Do you think it will help playing Linda to have lived with the pain of Caroline?
Yes, in that I think everything feeds into everything else you do; you take those experiences with you. But these are different women with different reasons for doing what they do. The one thing I think they have in common is the protectiveness of their love: Linda's every waking moment is about protecting her man even though she knows what he's doing to himself. Her man is her focal point, and so that's her drive.
Are people sometimes surprised to hear that you are in fact English, given your American-intensive stage resume?
I do get that. I've done Q and A's after the show where I've started talking and they go, "Oh my God, you're not American! Say something in an American accent." And I think, you've just watched the show for two-and-a-half hours. Why do I need to say something now in an American accent? Did you not hear me in the show?
From there, you move on yet again to a 30th-anniversary revival at the Kiln Theatre in the summer of Blues in the Night, directed by your wife, Susie McKenna?
That's going to be a much lighter gig than playing someone like Caroline, or Linda. I wouldn't say it's a holiday but it should be more vibrant and full of life, and I'll get the chance to do some dancing which might help keep some of the weight off [laughs].
After all this American work in Britain, are you tempted to do some American work in America?
The only time that ever came close was on Ghost the Musical, where they said that they might take me [to New York] but in the end were only allowed to take [male lead] Richard Fleeshman, which made a lot more sense since he and Caissie Levy were the central couple. That's as close as I've come, but if someone wants to bring my ass to Broadway, I'm quite happy to go. I'll go wherever the work is!

Mitch Albom is most famous for his book Tuesdays with Morrie, but personally, I think The Five People You Meet in Heaven is more enjoyable. The story revolves around the life (or rather, death) of eighty-three year old Eddie, a war veteran and maintenance man for the amusement rides at Ruby's Pier. From the beginning, we are told that Eddie is going to die soon, but that death is only the beginning.
The premise is that upon death, we meet five people in heaven who explain the meaning of our lives - something we often miss in our mundane day-to-day. The first time I read this book (around a year or two ago for my book club) it had quite a profound impact on me and I'm sure I shed a tear or two. This time round it wasn't quite the same (I should've written this review back then) but I still think it's a great little book.
It's an easy and absorbing read that does prompt you to think about the meaning of your life. And I couldn't help but wonder what happens if you go to hell - do you meet five people who tell you what your life could've been, leading to remorse and eternal repentance rather than understanding and acceptance, which is what happens to Eddie in the end?
Overall, it's a lovely and well written story with a fable-like quality that reminded me a little of The Alchemist. In both cases, the stories are profound but written with great simplicity, allowing the meaning to really shine through. There's a touch of the spiritual and eternal in both, a sense of fate and purpose that's quite inspirational. This book would appeal to a wide audience.
PS - I just googled and discovered they made a telemovie out of it with Jon Voight!

The new Mercedes EQ C isn't just a new electric SUV, but the beginning of a whole new EQ range of battery-powered Benzes. There'll be hatchbacks and saloons soon, all carrying a three-pointed star and a plug socket. But they won't have the market to themselves.
Besides Tesla, and its three-model range of four-door EVs, Audi's e-tron, Jaguar's I-Pace and Porsche's Taycan projects all herald the beginning of a new electric age of premium cars. Yep, a 'beginning'. We didn't say 'spark'. Or 'shock'. This is going to be a tired-pun-free zone.
So, now there's several contenders with definitive specs published, let's take stock of the runners taking part in the new world order of posh EV face-offs. Got a favourite?

UFC fighter Kajan Johnson and ET Canada online writer Shakiel Mahjouri invite MMA's most colourful personalities to share crazy, entertaining and personal stories.
Elias Thedorou rolls into the 'Pull No Punches Podcast' campaigning for a fight vs. Derek Brunson at a rumored April or May event in Canada. Theodorou responds to Brunson's "chump change" comments by promising he will "make more than Derek" by his next fight.
Elias Theodorou: "Derek Brunson is someone who has shown that he fights a little scared. He sometimes lets the win slip out of his hands and I have shown time and time again where I'm someone who can find a win no matter what."
Elias Theodorou: "If he is underestimating me, it is to his peril… Many people have looked at me and said, 'look at this long-haired idiot.' They didn't get their hands raised."
Elias Theodorou: "I have heard some of the things he said in different publications. He was undercutting who I've fought. He said if I want to move beyond the 'chump change' I'm facing than I should fight someone like him. I Googled his earnings and I realized he makes all of $3,000 more than me per fight… "I'm in the process of renegotiating my [UFC] contract and I guarantee you by the time I fight my next fight I'll be making more than Derek."
Elias Theodorou: "I think there is definitely something to be said about T.J. Dillashaw being a little bit of a sore loser. He was going down there with the pure intention of killing the [flyweight] division, and unfortunately, to his end he's the one that got killed."

Kia & SiriusXM
I recently helped Iris NYC win their first B2C client with a series of festival activations for Kia Soul and SiriusXM. They approached us to promote their new 'Kia Soul' model at EDM festivals to primarily a millennial audience. We needed a concetpt that would complete & and standout amongst the already busy visual noise that happens around EDM festivals. Our solution was the creation of a 'Kia Soul Station'. A parody of a car wash but with a twist! A People wash. Participants entered and we're created with a giant car wash rollers, a foam shower, shine and polish stations, refuel areas and finally electric sounds from the Kia Souls sound system.
Dainese 36060
Dainese makes some of the best looking, and best performing motorcycle gear on the planet. For the big NYC launch of their new 36060 Heritage Collection, they asked cafe-racer-extraordinaire E3 Motorcycles and me to create a lifestyle video showcasing the gear both on and off the bike. We pulled in fellow moto head and actor James Ransone, an amazing cinematographer (who also rides), and music by a local Brooklyn band who - you guessed it, lives by the bike.
I directed, edited, color corrected, created the motion graphics, and play the important role of "friend with Ducati on sidewalk" in the video below.

Dive Brief:
District Administration reports on three struggling Baltimore City Schools that are seeking guidance from Commodore John Rodgers, another school in the district that has achieved a dramatic turnaround.
Commodore John Rodgers once ranked near the bottom of schools in Maryland, but proficiency scores have surged and enrollment has more than tripled since its turnaround initiative began in 2010.
The three struggling schools are under new leadership and are meeting on a weekly basis with Rodgers' principal, Marc Martin, to receive mentorship and training in an effort to turn themselves around by 2021.
Dive Insight:
Martin told District Administration that communication about expectations is the key to turning around schools.
"You have to start with families and get to know the communities to set the expectations for the schools," Martin said. "What was missing at these schools was knowing what the expectations were and how we were going to deliver on them."
The same can be said for expectations of schools themselves. In this case, the school district took the success story of one school and is using it as a model for success in others within the district. Once schools clearly understand the expectations and understand how to achieve those, success should be easier to achieve.
The fact that this success model is within the same district should help with the endeavor. Though School Turn Around Field Guides do exist, the reality is that it is hard to sometimes transfer universal theories to unique circumstances. Even within a district, these strategies may need to be tweaked, for no two schools are exactly the same. However, collaboration with others in the district who understand the struggles should help establish best practices and help schools succeed.

I've been listening, for the first time in a while, to my Beatles collection, and since my brain never stops running, I've thought of numerous things I want to say about some of these songs, but have no one to say them to. So they're going here, on my blog.
Basically, my blog is my only friend.
Please Please Me (1963)
1. I Saw Her Standing There: This is one of my favorite "early" Beatles songs, a great rock n' roll number sung by Paul that holds up well over time. In addition to the original Beatles recording, Elton John did a live duet of this song at Madison Square Garden with John Lennon in 1974 which is pretty good too. (Listen to the Elton John/John Lennon version here.)
2. Boys: Ringo generally sang one song per album, but they're almost always among the best tunes on the record. Like "I Saw Her Standing There," "Boys" is a rollicking, upbeat rock n' roll song that also still holds up really well. Ringo's vocals are perfect.
3. Love Me Do: This was the Beatles' first single (recorded and released several months before the album) and it's only okay, but it's noteworthy because Ringo doesn't play drums on it. When they went into the studio to record this song and "P.S. I Love You," the record company wanted to use one of their session drummers, a guy named Andy White. So Ringo just plays tambourine on the song.
4. Twist and Shout: This is my favorite early Beatles song, edging out several others. I've liked this song since it was featured in its entirety in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. John's famously scratchy vocal track was apparently unplanned, as it was the last song they recorded on the album, and after a week of nonstop rehearsing and recording, he was losing his voice.
A Hard Day's Night (1964)
1. If I Fell: About halfway through this song, there is a noticeable spot where Paul is singing background vocals, and his voice breaks and he cuts off mid-note. I'm not sure if it was always noticeable and they just left it in, or if maybe it only became apparent after the original song was remastered and digitized, thus removing tape hiss and other stuff that may have masked the sound. But if you listen for it, it's pretty funny. It's at about the 1:45 mark on the phrase "was in vain."
Beatles For Sale (1964)
1. No Reply: This song is basically about a guy whose girlfriend has dumped him and made it clear she's not interested, so now he's stalking her.
Help (1965)
1. You've Got to Hide Your Love Away: John Lennon is clearly attempting to channel Bob Dylan in this one. He even sounds like Dylan in the vocals.
Rubber Soul (1965)
1. Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown): So let me get this straight: the singer goes home with a girl expecting to get laid. She leads him on and then refuses to put out. After she leaves for work the next morning, he burns her house down. Gotcha.
2. Nowhere Man: One of my all-time favorite Beatles songs. It's also the first song written by the Beatles that did NOT have anything to do with girls or romantic relationships in some way, shape, or form.
3. In My Life: Another song in my top 10. This is a great little tune where Ringo's drumming is just perfect and really fills out the song well.
4. Run for Your Life: Literally a song where the narrator threatens to kill his girlfriend if she cheats on him.
Revolver (1966)
1. Doctor Robert: On the surface, this song appears to be about the singer's favorite doctor. Apparently it's actually about a drug dealer. In any case, it's literally one of the dumbest songs in the Beatles' catalogue.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)
1. Within You Without You: This is one of several songs written by George Harrison with heavy Indian influence, and I've always thought it stuck out like a sore thumb on this otherwise masterpiece of an album. It's not that the song isn't good - it's fine, although a bit boring, in my opinion - but it just doesn't fit on this album. It would have made better thematic sense on either Revolver or the White Album.
2. A Day in the Life: The Best Beatles' Song of All Time. In my opinion. In the remastered version, you can hear one of the engineers counting off measures at the end during the big orchestral finale.
The Beatles (the White Album) (1968)
1. Wild Honey Pie: This double album has several songs on it that qualify as "dumb bullshit" and this is one of them.
2. The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill: Yoko Ono has a solo on this song, and her voice sounds like the voice of a little girl who can't sing.
3. Happiness is a Warm Gun: So much greatness and awfulness side by side on this album. Absolutely love this song.
4. Piggies: George Harrison at his worst, by far.
5. Rocky Raccoon: Paul McCartney at his worst.
6. Julia: John Lennon at the top of his game. This is a beautiful ballad to John's mother, who died when he was a teenager. I love the vulnerability of the opening line: "Half of what I say is meaningless. But I say it just to reach you, Julia."
7. Yer Blues: Another of my absolute favorites. The Beatles were so diverse in the styles they could play. This song is straight-up hard rock blues and for a band that did very little of this style of music, they pull it off amazingly.
8. Savoy Truffle: Another really bad George Harrison effort. How does the guy who wrote "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" - on the SAME ALBUM, no less - also write and record "Savoy Truffle" and "Piggies"? I just don't get it.
9. Revolution 9: This isn't a song. It's 8 minutes of noise and recorded nonsense. The worst "song" in the Beatles' catalogue. By far.
Abbey Road (1969)
1. Maxwell's Silver Hammer: I really wish I could've been a fly on the wall when Paul brought this one in for the band to hear. It's literally about a serial killer who murders people (including the judge who's sentencing him to prison) by bashing them over the head with a silver hammer. It comes complete with hammer-on-nail sound effects during the chorus. They were definitely straining for material by this point. Still a fun little song.
2. Octopus's Garden: Oh Ringo. The only song he wrote that the Beatles' recorded and it sounds like a Wiggles song. Still, like all songs Ringo sings, it's a good one.
3. I Want You (She's So Heavy): Like a lot of the songs on this album, this is only half a song. But because they needed to fill the space on the A side of the record, they extended it out by repeating the coda over and over and over again. It would be a great song at 3:45. At 7:47 it's a bit much.
4. Mean Mr. Mustard: At one point, the lyrics of this song reference the Queen of England. Isn't it weird to think the same exact monarch referenced in this song is STILL on the throne? It always gives me a strange sense of continuity with the past. Queen Elizabeth is the constant.
5. Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End: The Beatles at their best. This medley runs a close second to "A Day in the Life" for best Beatles' tune.
Past Masters (a compilation of all Beatles' songs released as singles and not found on albums)
1. Long Tall Sally: This is another in the same group with "Twist and Shout" and "I Saw Her Standing There." Just a great classic rock n' roll tune.
2. Don't Let Me Down: I love this song. It's the best one from their "Let It Be" sessions, but was left off the album and released only as a single. It was one of the songs they performed during their famous "roof top" performance in 1969 - their last public performance together.

OE Academy
featuring Sachs
Sachs is one of the leading OE manufacturers of suspension components for many popular European makes.
Why Sachs?
The history of the Sachs brand starts in 1894 when the toolmaker and name-giver Ernst Sachs filed his first bicycle wheel hub patent application. One year later, he founded "Schweinfurter Präzisionskugellager-Werke Fichtel & Sachs" (precision ball bearing production plant) together with Karl Fichtel, a merchant and financier. Then, as today, the stated philosophy was to secure a clear technological edge over competitors, both in terms of product quality and innovation, and in terms of customer service.
Quality, performance, reliability. Sachs offers products for various fields of application that cover almost all vehicle types since 1895. Sachs specializes in shock absorbers and clutches and are an OEM replacement for a higher performance clutch or shock. All Sachs parts are built to meet or exceed the OEM specifications, so buy Sachs with confidence.
Sachs products are manufactured from high-quality materials and reflect state-of-the-art design. They stand for high performance and reliability. This is why numerous well-known automotive manufacturers equip their vehicles with Sachs products: every year, more than 10 million new vehicles equipped with Sachs dampers and shock absorbers roll off the production line. Moreover, Sachs offers high-quality clutches for original equipment manufacturers and the spare-parts market.

I want to be able to walk around on stage and draw on a tablet whilst the image is being projected on the AV screen through a data projector. I'd love to use the iPad, but it doesn't currently appear to have the functionality. Happy to be convinced otherwise though as I'm a Mac fan.
The tablet needs to be light and have a decent stylus and drawing program, so that I can draw on blank 'pages' as well as existing Powerpoint / keynote slides. Preferably not too expensive as I have enough computers already.
Any recommendations?
Many thanks!

The morning started well with clear sunny skies. Hence I was waiting for the sun to get to the position where I can start imaging it. As the sun is fairly low in the skies currently, it has to manoeuvre past the trees in the neighbour's garden, before I can start taking pictures.
The seeing today is not as good as yesterday, although there were short periods where it did improve slightly. I took the best 83 images to stack in Registax 6 to produce the images below.
It does look like Sunspot AR2242 is reasonably large, and could emit X-class solar flares towards the earth.
I think I am starting to get the hang of stacking images in Registax 6, so hopefully in future I will be able to get even better images.

There was a lot of business news last week, so hold on tight.
A neat place called Conservatory Skate Shop opened Friday. Calling it a skate shop is an understatement, though. The store is a place for skateboarders, plant lovers and artists alike. It's located at 4110 34th St., and the only way you're going to feed your curiosity is to go look for yourself.
Have you ever wondered why there's not a food truck sitting on Broadway on any given Friday or Saturday night? That's because a few years back the Lubbock City Council made it clear that vehicles are to be used for transportation and not as a place to sell food. If that's not something you can get behind, Lubbock is having its first food truck expo from 12:30-3 p.m. Sunday. The expo will be at the Garden Ridge parking lot at 4304 W. Loop 289. It'll be a different way to snag a meal, and if it's of interest, there will be petitions available to sign in support of changing the ordinance for mobile vendors.
Casa Mexicana, a Mexican natural herb store that had been in downtown Lubbock for about 60 years, is changing location. It's relocating to 2507 Clovis Road and is expected to open back up Monday.
And as you've probably heard, Cabela's also opened last week. Thousands turned out to see Lubbock's newest outdoor store. Cabela's spokesman Wes Remmer said if the early turnout is any indicator, it's going to be a busy year.

In many countries a hair surgery can be done in a physicians practice. In Turkey this is not allowed and the transplantation has to be done in the surrounding of a hospital. This guarantees you the best possible medical care from a trained physician. Turkey is one of the leading countries in the field of hair transplantation and Dr. Oguzoglu is a specialist in his field with many years of experience.
The value for money is better than in most European countries due to the low labour cost in Turkey. On top of that you will have the opportunity to visit one of the most beautiful cities in Eastern Europe which was only recently voted Cultural Capital of Europe.
We creaate for you a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) about hair transplantation, maybe you can find your response there or contact us for more details.
Before the actual surgery we will send you a health questionnaire to check on your personal situation. One week before the operation you should stop taking vitamin tablets, anti-inflammatory medication and alcohol. For patients who are older than 45 we do recommend an electrocardiogram (ECG). We would require the results of the ECG at least 10 days before the surgery.
On our website you will have the possibility to send us a picture. Based on that picture Dr. Oguzoglu will determine how many grafts you will need. During the personal consultation this number will be confirmed.
How to care for your FUE grafts after surgery. It is crucial that you avoid contact with your new grafts first 2 days. At this point the grafts will be secure and it is normal to then see the transplanted hairs begin to shed. You can touch your head gently during the washing.
With the motorised FUE method we can extract and implant up to 4000 grafts per day. With the manual method we can do 1500 grafts per day.
Approximately 10 days after the operation the crusts on your head will disappear and the swelling will go back. A few weeks after the surgery the newly transplanted hair will fall out which is a completely normal part of the process. Your hair will be stronger and denser over the course of the next few months. Only one year after the operation you will have reached the final result of your transplantation.
You should not do any sports during the first 14 days after the treatment. You can swim in the sea after 20 days but should not swim in a pool and visit a sauna or a spa within the first two months of the operation. Direct sunlight is not recommended during the first 14 days. A hair cut is possible four weeks after the hair transplantation.
The hair that we transplant comes from an area on your head where there will be no hair loss until the rest of your life. Even men in their 70's usually have a rim of hair left in that area which is why we consider this to be our donor area. The implants that we take from that area will stay strong and healthy until the rest of your life.
Risks of Transplant Surgery
Hair transplantation is generally considered safe, but risks include: Infection. Bleeding and some scarring. Patchy hair growth, which can often be corrected. The risks can be reduced if your hair transplant surgeon is enoug experienced.
Most people are able to return to work 2 to 5 days after the operation. Within 2 to 3 weeks after surgery, the transplanted hair will fall out, but you should start to notice new growth within a few months. Most people will see 60% of new hair growth after 6 to 9 months. The full growth can be seen after 12 months.
Work and Exercise after the Hair Transplant Procedure
Avoid hard work and exercising for one week after the procedure. Avoid weight lifting, or carrying high weights for 10 to 14 days after the procedure. Avoid saunas steam and sun baths for at least three weeks. Avoid swimming for 1 month after the procedure.
When You Can Wear Your Hat
It is not recommended to wear a hat first 2 days. Once the grafts have become a permanent part of your scalp, you can wear a hat. While 7 to 14 days is an average, different surgeons have different protocols. Some hair loss specialists recommend waiting as long as 3 weeks before wearing a hat to ensure that the grafts are completely anchored.
It is better to avoid contact with your head for 5 days after the operation. Transplanted grafts will become strongerduring the first week, and they won't fall by touching. You should avoid scratching. 4-5 days after the operation, hair in the transplanted area will start to fall down and this will continue for 2-3 months.
Post op hair washing after a FUE hair transplant.
You are not required to wash your hair for the first 24 hours after surgery. On the second to fifth days after surgery you may wash your hair by pouring cups of very dilute shampoo and water over your grafts and donor area. You will be recommended to wash your head with special products that help to clean the scabs.
Starting on Day 3 after your hair transplant, you may begin to wash your hair. Be very gentle when washing your hair for the first 5 days. A gentle hair wash will not hurt the newly implanted follicles, but be careful. Too much scrubbing might dislodge a graft, which you don't want. Patients are crecommended to treat transplanted area with special products for first 10 days.
Hair transplants are typically more successful than over-the-counter hair restoration products. But there are some factors to consider: Anywhere from 45 to 70 percent of transplanted hair will fully grow back in an estimated three to four months.
It is recommended to avoid sweating for 2 weeks after the operation. In this period some light, non-strenuous activity such as yoga or gentle walking is usually permissible, but you should avoid running or cardio exercise which can cause sweating or a significant increase in blood pressure.
The extracted hair follicles usually don't grow back. But the extraction is done randomly, so patients don't have patches or scars in the donor area after the operation.
2000-3500 Hair Grafts
Hair grafts between 2000 and 3000 are appropriate when the patient has significant hair loss on the sides, frontal or middle scalp and crown of the head. This number of hair grafts is a normal amount needed to restore hair loss and achieve a natural look. This amount of hair grafts can be transplanted in one session.
Most people are surprised there is virtually no pain during an FUE hair transplant procedure done under a local anesthetic. Mild discomfort may occur as a local anesthetic is injected into the scalp. … After the FUE surgery, patients will typically feel some minor discomfort. It is usually described as minimal.
No, wigs with glues should not be used after hair transplant. It frequently causes irritation on scalp,
transplanted hairs can be damaged while taking the wig off.
If patient's balding has gone too far hairtransplant can not help, it usually happens if patient is on Norwood 6 or 7 of Norwood scale. Our source is donor area, if donor area is not sufficient body hair (chest and beard) can be used to create some density. Though its structure is different and regrowth rate is lower than donor hair. Only your doctor can tell if donor area is availlable for harvesting or not.
Swelling or oedema of forehead or eyelids is a common consequence of hairtransplantation surgery, especially 2–6 days after the operation. Som emay not have it at all, for some it may last for only a few days. In some cases swelling is quite severe especially when most of local anesthesia was used on the frontal part. It is painless and can be reduced by using ice packs and Prednol pills. We recommend to apply ice just above the eyebrows to help prevent swelling.
Shedding of native hairs after hairtransplant is quite rare though it may happen. While the hair sheds due to trauma the dermal papilla remains so hair does grow back. Shedding of grafts after a hair transplant can be noticed anywhere between 1-5 weeks after the hair transplant procedure.
Achieving natural-looking density for patients with advanced baldness can be reached through a second or multiple transplant sessions. The donor area is limited as only 1500-4000 grafts can be harvested safely in one session. Any grafts outside the safe donor zone will yield hairs that are likely to thin and be lost eventually.
In many countries a hair surgery can be done in a physicians practice. In Turkey this is not allowed and the transplantation has to be done in the surrounding of a hospital. This guarantees you the best possible medical care from a trained physician. Turkey is one of the leading countries in the field of hair transplantation and Dr. Oguzoglu is a specialist in his field with many years of experience.
The value for money is better than in most European countries due to the low labour cost in Turkey.
On top of that you will have the opportunity to visit one of the most beautiful cities in Eastern Europe which was only recently voted Cultural Capital of Europe.
Consuming alcoholic beverages is not recommended for 6 days after hairtransplant as it may cause bleeding of donor area.
Patients with hair transplants should consider the impact of smoking on the results of their procedure. As nicotine decreases oxygenation smoking is not recommended for at least two weeks after hairtransplant, it is harmful for the newly transplanted grafts.

Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 Review (Xbox One)
Throw your hands in the air and wave 'em like you just don't care
March 20, 2015 - Believe it or not, Kinect has been available for almost half a decade and it's still rolling out games. Of course, it's not as fresh and exciting as it was back in 2010, but that doesn't mean that it isn't any fun. The newly released Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 will have Kinect owners asking if this sequel to last generation's controller-less hit is worth all of the arm strain or is it better to fiddle with buttons and sticks?

Body language experts take our unconscious movements and decode them to understand what we are really saying.
But the great thing is that you don't need to be as knowledgeable as they are. This is because we've picked the minds of some of the best body language experts.
We know that 7% of all communication is what we actually say and 38% is the tone of what we say. However, a whopping 55% is body language. Therefore, if you want to know what a person is actually saying, you need to understand their body language. And this is where body language experts come in.
So if you want to read people like a book, here are 12 secrets from body language experts:
1. Raised eyebrows indicate signs of discomfort
We often raise our eyebrows as a sign of surprise. For example, when we meet someone we were not expecting to see our eyebrows automatically rise. Alongside surprise, studies show that fear and worry can also cause eyebrows to rise.
Don't believe me? Next time you're in a comfortable, casual setting, chatting to a friend, raise your eyebrows and see what they say. They'll automatically assume something is wrong.
So in future, whenever you see raised eyebrows, pay attention. The person talking is not happy about something. One other thing to remember is that raised eyebrows coupled with other gestures can mean submission.
2. They also show sadness but watch if they don't move inwards
If you are genuinely sad, your eyebrows will move inwards and upwards. Body language experts say this is one of those facial movements you cannot fake.
Research proves that it relies on a set of 'reliable muscles' that you can't knowingly move. So be careful if someone expresses sadness but their eyebrows don't move. They won't be able to contract these muscles voluntarily, so it's more than likely they're lying.
3. Staring directly into your eyes is a sign of attraction
Eye really are the windows of the soul. I knew a friend who, when he listened to you, would fix his gaze on you. It made you feel like the most important person in the world.
Research backs this up. Prolonged eye contact is an indication of a person's interest. It means they are paying attention to what you are saying. There are no distractions, they are fully focused on you.
Conversely, frequently breaking eye contact or looking away is a sign they're not interested. Another thing to look out for is dilated pupils. You've heard of 'bedroom eyes'? This is because our pupils dilate when we are aroused.
4. However, if they stare for too long, they might be lying
There's a fine line between attraction and lying. People that fix you with a steely stare are probably trying to cover up the fact they are lying. Liars frequently hold eye contact for longer. This is because they know it is harder for someone telling a lie to look another person in the eyes.
The problem is, they often overcompensate and hold eye contact for too long. The average person will hold eye contact in a conversation for 7 to 10 seconds. This time gets longer when we listen. However, studies show that if a person stares at you relentlessly, particularly if they are unblinking as well, it's likely that they're lying.
5. The science behind real smiles
Genuine smiles reach the eyes and you'll see real crinkles. Fake smiles only use the mouth. You might not think this is important but many people use a smile to hide what they're really feeling. Being able to spot a real or fake smile allows you to see if a person is happy, or troubled.
A genuine smile is impossible to fake. Real smiles are called Duchenne smiles as they raise the cheek muscle responsible for creating crow's feet around the eyes. Extensive research has shown you simply cannot fake the movement of this muscle. So if someone is genuinely happy, you'll see the crinkles.
6. Watch what the mouth does, not what it says
We should pay some attention to the words that come out of people's mouths. However, movements and expressions are far more telling:
- Chewing the bottom lip – feeling worried, afraid, nervous, or insecure.
- Covering the mouth – lying, subconsciously stopping themselves from saying something hurtful.
- Smiling – if not genuine it could be used to denote sarcasm, cynicism, or fake happiness.
- Pursed lips – disapproval, distrust or distaste, stopping an outburst.

Here's your DFQ #021:
Ask yourself: What do I do NEXT?
Post your result.
half a billion lessons since 1979…
Here's your DFQ #021:
Ask yourself: What do I do NEXT?
Post your result.
Try to ignore my preconceived ideas and open myself to listen to other ideas and learn from whoever may come up with new ideas.
Analyse the situation, consider previous results and situations, try to think what others may do, ask others opinions and make the move you think will yield the best results. After completion analyse to see if anything can be improved/modified and for future reference.
Action must be forward. So building on information sources in hand make a decision and step forward.
Prioritise and targets the hardest jobs. Get them out of the way to enjoy the other things. Cease the day.
As it is coming towards the end of the year, I am now planning my goals for 2016 – what I want to achieve at work and what I need to work on in order to improve myself in various aspects of my life.
Next move based on others feedback – an interesting concept… highlights value of feedback
Chess is a game of strategy. It is not sufficient to just react or respond to your opponents moves but think about how your next move improves your position too win the game
its interesting why most people dont answer the DFQ, they prefer to offer their advice on the topic.
Next, pause and reflect
What I will do next is talk to 3 other firms and apply for postgraduate studies at Melbourne University.
My next moves are: upload and announce my new brand. Set up inner pages with the new design
The other side of starting is finishing. I need to finish what I have started as well as start something that I have put off. One can also delay finishing as one can delay starting.
Next is pilot studies to test the feasibility and viability of my idea to ensure feedback to use
I like to guess what will happen before doing something, so I would evaluate the feedback and make a new guess.
This is a follow on from start-do-notice-think. Therefore the next is whether you should be doing the same thing or whether you have noticed something and have thought about what you have noticed and this has caused you to change/vary what you do next
Where I am today I have lots of next things to do and the order is
Pause and list all the things to be done -> prioritise -> and start again !
My next move is to do almost the different from what i have just done.
Do [A]
Get feedback (1)
Do [B]
Get feedback (2)
Then Do [A] again .
The next thing that I do will be different from the moves of others involved in the same space that I am in. That is my leaning. So in my work on responding to a humanitarian crisis, for example, I always move differently and then I listen to the feedback and then adjust to the feedback that is generated by the move that I made. I always start with failure. I don't have the answers but I take on a new field, a new starting point and then work from that starting point. That is my next move.
My next move is to 1) promote my business every day (organic) and 2) contact someone who can help us increase it by 10x (exponential) and 3) Find new ideas, products, and services, that will increase the value we offer to our current base.
Doing that constantly, without exception, is the challenge I'm giving myself and my team.
By imposing strict short time limits in chess the notice/think/action has to be at the speed of thought and changes the paradigm. If you keep thinking you're going to get more thoughts, action is what defines the thought. My next move is to experiment with SDNT and see if I can notice at what point I am overthinking or procrastinating and why.
Juste après avoir complété le travail pour SOT, il y a la mise au net de l'inventaire de mon association qui me tend les bras : nous avons plusieurs lieux de stockage du matériel pédagogique que nous vendons et différentes personnes qui se déplacent ; de plus, nous devons maintenant faire cet inventaire avec notre nouveau logiciel de gestion, d'où un certain travail. Ensuite, il y a les documents à préparer pour la prochaine formation qui se déroule les 13 et 14 janvier. Entre les deux, je songe à intercaler une tasse de thé…:))
Just after completing the work for SOT, there is the net inventory of my association that reaches out to me: we have several places of storage of the educational material that we sell and different people who move; moreover, we now have to do this inventory with our new management software, hence some work. Then there are the documents to be prepared for the next training which will take place on January 13 and 14. Between the two, I think to insert a cup of tea … :))
My next move is totally dependent on what is about to happen in my immediate environment. The toughest thing is to wait a little longer until more of the surrounding context has become clear and decision making can be based on fact instead of conjecture. I have started, done, noticed and thought. But now, patience is the next move… wait and watch.

Eradicate Moths in Carpets - Get Rid of Carpet Moths For Good!
Carpet moths are similar to webbing clothes moths in that they spin webs in areas they reside and the 'silken trails' are often seen on carpets. Moths in carpets might also be the result of infestation by Webbing Clothes Moths - Clothes Moths are not adverse to causing damage to wool carpets and silk rugs. The Moth-Prevention Carpet Moth Killer Kits are effective in dealing with either variety of these closely related moths. Carpet moths can be stubborn residents and are usually evidenced by small 'balding' patches in the corners or edges of carpets and rugs. The carpet moth larvae can be difficult to see because they often take on the colour of the natural fibre carpet pile that they have consumed.
Carpet moth eggs are tiny, usually less than a millimetre in length and carpet moth larvae are very small when they first hatch. Within our Killer Kits are Carpet Moth Foggers, a key aspect of the conventional treatment approach. Similarly, persistent sprays form part of our Kits and when used remain active long after application to kill all stages of the moth life cycle. Given how stubborn carpet moth larvae infestations can be, this can be a real advantage. Our carpet moth treatments include Moth Killing Dust to deal with active carpet moth larvae and to treat areas that cannot be sprayed, such as near electrical sockets. Our Carpet Moth Killer Kits provide you with all that you need.
Our carpet moth treatment and spray solutions should preferably be applied to both the undersides and pile of rugs and deep into the pile of carpets using a trigger spray or aerosol for full and effective treatment.
Use of Carpet Moth Traps is also strongly advised to break the breeding cycle of adult moths by catching the adult male carpet moths, and in doing so help break the breeding cycle and prevent the laying of further carpet moth eggs, as well as working as an effective monitoring routine. We recommend the use of our Moth-Prevention Traps as they have 2-3 times the surface area of other traps and catch a brad range of Clothes Moth and Carpet Moth Traps.

Not long ago a gentleman emailed me about an article I had written a year or so ago over the issues of bird kills and wind generators. He felt it was wrong for me to write the article, because there are billions of birds in the world and a few lost to wind turbines is no big deal. Apparently, he felt that the alternative or renewable energy was more important to mankind that a few dead birds. He sent in this condemnation:
I'm sure you're a nice guy, really. Perhaps we could get the stats on your "car wash bird kills". Maybe you could provide the nets for my wind generators, possibly defraying from the needless killing of unwanted birds and costs of new blades. Do you actually know how many birds are in the world? Your article was vague at best and no real numbers revealed. Only "kill more birds than the Santa Barbara, CA mini-oil spill". Wow! An epiphany! Intelligence at its best.
Perhaps you could put aside the entire ego boosting, character builder, comments from friends and family members and actually write something that makes sense. Maybe even something tangible that would give us faith in higher education or the benefits of renewable energy. I'm dumber for having read your article, not being that smart to begin with. Must have been a timeline issue.
Hmm, interesting the amount of verbal attacks from folks in denial of reality, so if you are wondering how come the world is becoming so politically correct, it's because folks are afraid to speak out, because someone might give them a hard time. And, the complainer was right on one account; Yes, I suppose I am a nice guy although that is not necessarily relevant to the "bird kill" issues of wind-turbines.
And mind you I am not an environmentalist at all, I just like to point out the hypocrisy in all of this. The environmentalists sue developers on behalf of animals, insects, endangered species, but when it comes to something they support they look the other way? Ah the perfection of hypocrisy, I love it. The truth of the matter is that we can design better wind turbine blades with less drag, and much more efficient. Thus, perhaps needing much less of relative wind-speed to be worthy and we can do it in a way that does not kill birds, everyone wins. Instead, the politically correct environmentalists attack and then turn the other way when the law of unintended consequences strikes one of their wind turbine blades.
With his joking around about car washes, it appears he has learned that I was once in the car wash business and birds, yep, any waste-water runoff would indeed hurt the eco-system (birds too). Actually, when the Federal Clean Water Act was instituted in 1972 the environmentalists stated that 1,000s of birds died in Santa Barbara from an offshore oil spill. But then the number was dropped to 163, then down to about a third of that. Amazingly enough, Nixon, decided to move on the Federal Clean Water act for media generating purposes and PR back then. It worked for him.
In the defense of the critic of my article, he is correct in that perhaps the article did not state how many birds were killed, because it varies, Crows seem to be able to learn quickly and stay away from them, but the migrating birds often do not. I know because our company had cleaning contracts to clean the wind generators and we always saw dead birds underneath them. Like, I said, I am not an environmentalist. The number of birds always varied sometimes 3-4, sometimes 1-2, and sometimes, a whole bunch. Oh well, there are lots of birds out there in the California Desert was always my thinking on it.
Of course, in 2005 the USA Today did a story claiming that 10s of 1000s of brids each year were killed by wind turbines, so, it has become apparent that the Wind Turbine environmentalists want to have their cake and kill the birds too. And, is it really fair to attack the messenger of information, especially considering that I written probably 500 or more articles on environmental causes, everything from Ocean Dead Zones, Exhaust schemes, Solar, wind, recycling, you name it. Well, in any case this is just another example of environmental hypocrisy and how all this hot air is really for the birds.
