Some of the World's Largest Dump Trucks
by Annabel Schoeman · November 9, 2015
Dump Trucks are used to transport material. Construction companies can move sand and gravel easily with these powerful machines. Generally an articulated dump truck has an open-box bed with hinges so that the material can be easily tipped off the truck at the delivery site. These types of dumpers also play a vital role in the mining industry. If you are looking for large dump trucks for sale here is useful information to get you started. When it comes to the biggest dump truck Liebherr, Komatsu and Hitachi manufacture impressive models.
The advantage of finding a tipper truck for sale is that it boosts productivity while decreasing operating costs. Finding an adequately suited dumper for sale can help to increase profits. When you are choosing between dump trucks for sale it is important to consider the fuel efficiency and maintenance costs for each model. Another factor to consider is in what operating conditions the dump truck performs well. Easy operation is also important so that the driver can focus on getting the job done. Electronic technology and computerised systems contribute to the performance and capabilities of dump trucks. These systems can also alert you to maintenance work that needs to be performed which helps to keep your truck operating at its full potential. While cheap tipper trucks for sale can save you money in the long run, good quality equipment saves you cash on maintenance work.

These huge off-highway machines are equipped with powerful engines with up to 12 turbocharges. The trucks exceed the height of a two story building.

NEW Friends, Peace, and Sanctuary course on refugees and art
January 3, 2018 Lee Smithey	Leave a comment
As part of the College's Friends, Peace, and Sanctuary project, supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, the Peace and Conflict Studies program will sponsor a related half-credit course in the spring.
In what ways can engaging with art inspire conversations, change perspectives, or increase empathy?
How might sharing personal experiences through the process of making art about migration, displacement or refuge increase our senses of belonging?
How might historic stories of displacement impact understandings of our current moment?
In this half-credit engaged scholarship course, taught by College Librarian Peggy Seiden and Dr. Katie Price (Lang Center), students will (a) conduct primary and secondary research related to resettled individuals (refugees) living in Philadelphia, (b) conduct archival research related to questions of displacement, empathy, and belonging, and (c) conduct primary and secondary research on artists' books. Additionally, students will be required to volunteer for at least one book artist workshop (taking place on Sundays in Philadelphia, exact dates and times TBD) during the term. This course is tied to Friends, Peace, and Sanctuary, a two-year project funded by The Pew Center for Arts and Heritage that brings renowned book artists into conversation with Syrian and Iraqi individuals who have resettled to Philadelphia. Students will be working with and learning directly from project collaborators, and their work will be shared publicly on the Friends, Peace, and Sanctuary website and may also be published or exhibited in Spring 2019.
Seats are limited. If you are interested in taking this course, please email a short paragraph about why you are interested to kprice1 and pseiden1.

Friends, Peace, and Sanctuary Launch Event
November 11, 2017 Lee Smithey	Leave a comment
Our friends in the Swarthmore College Library and the Lang Center for Civic and Social Responsibility invite you to join them on Sunday, Nov. 19th from 1:00-4:00 at the Perelman Building at the Philadelphia Museum of Art to learn more about Swarthmore College's Friends, Peace, and Sanctuary project.
At the event, you can meet the book artists working on the project, connect with potential collaborators, and celebrate the project's launch with tea, snacks, and art-making.
Swarthmore College's Friends, Peace, and Sanctuary will bring together book artists and Syrian and Iraqi individuals who have resettled to Philadelphia. Driven by questions about displacement and refuge, history and experience, the project explores art's capacity to build empathy and create a deeper sense of belonging.
Working in partnership with the immigrant and refugee service organization Nationalities Service Center, Swarthmore will invite a group of collaborators to work with renowned book artists and participate in multi-day workshops designed to provide access to new creative tools, and to explore various aspects of visual storytelling, artistic expression, and craft. Swarthmore's library collections—including the Friends Historical Library and the "Peace Collection," the largest archive of peace-related material in the U.S.—will be made available to book artists to inform their commissioned works, and to collaborators, with materials translated into Arabic.
Both the workshop collaborators and the book artists will create books that highlight the relationship between historical and contemporary stories of displacement. The project will culminate in a series of programs, exhibitions, and an exhibition catalogue that will focus on how archival, academic, and community knowledges can come together to address contemporary issues.
Friends, Peace, and Sanctuary has been supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage and is a collaboration between Swarthmore Libraries and the Lang Center for Civic and Social Responsibility.

Nefertiti's Daughters is a story of women, art and revolution in Egypt. Told by prominent Egyptian artists, this documentary witnesses the critical role revolutionary street art played during the Egyptian uprisings.
Focused on the role of women artists in the struggle for social and political change, Nefertiti's Daughters spotlights how the iconic graffiti of Queen Nefertiti places her on the front lines in the ongoing fight for women's rights and freedoms in Egypt today.
The film's director Mark Nickolas is a long time veteran of US democratic politics, most notably to then Vice President Al Gore, before emerging as a prominent figure in the political media world.

Shaanan Streett on Israeli Culture and Music

A discussion of Israeli culture and music with Shaanan Streett
Friday, October 30 at 4:00 p.m.
Kohlberg Hall 228
Shaanan Streett is one of the most influential and respected cultural voices in Israel today. He is a singer and songwriter for Israeli band Hadag Nahash ("The Sticker Song"). Streett has released 7 albums with the band, as well as 2 albums of his own. He is a screenplay writer ("The Wonders"), a former columnist (Time out Israel), a peace and social activist (who founded The One Shekel Festival), and a lifelong Jerusalemite in a land where nearly the entire cultural scene has migrated to Tel Aviv.
As part of his talk, Shaanan will share with audiences what he sees as the strengths and flaws of Israel today. Through subtitled video clips he will go on to analyze and share the meanings of the lyrics and where he draws from in his writing. Following each clip, questions will be taken from the audience.
While Israel's art and culture scene has largely moved to Tel Aviv, Shaanan remains one of the most recognizable faces in Jerusalem. Far from leaving, he owns a bar in the Shuk, has written about it for National Geographic and other publications, his children attend a joint Jewish-Arab school and, time and again, has chosen to stay in spite of the difficulties it brings. In the microcosm of Jerusalem, Shaanan will show and discuss where the lines are drawn and how culture crosses those lines. Shaanan will discuss his life as a member of Israel's leftist political scene.
This event is organized by Swarthmore Students for Israel and co-sponsored by the History, Political Science, and Peace and Conflict Studies Departments.

"Stop Telling Women to Smile" with artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh November 19th and 20th, 2014
Join the Womyn's Resource Center and artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh in conversation around street harassment and art in activism.
"Stop Telling Women to Smile" is an art series by Tatyana Fazlalizadeh. The work attempts to address gender based street harassment by placing drawn portraits of women, composed with captions that speak directly to offenders, outside in public spaces.
Street harassment is a serious issue that affects women world wide. This project takes women's voices, and faces, and puts them in the street – creating a bold presence for women in an environment where they are so often made to feel uncomfortable and unsafe.

Rick Stone named as new Lebanon coach
26th April 2019 James Gordon International, Super League 0
Former Huddersfield boss Rick Stone has been appointed as head coach of the Lebanon national team.
Stone, 52, is no stranger to international management having previously been coach of Fiji, leading them to the 2013 World Cup semi-finals.
The ex-Newcastle Knights man coached in Super League from July 2016 but was sacked midway through last season and replaced by Simon Woolford.
He said: "After a fantastic achievement in reaching the quarter-final the last World Cup, I am looking forward to continuing the development of the Cedars, and working with the next generation of players coming through our system."
Stone will be assisted by former national team players George Ndaira, Michael Habib and Tony Skar.
LRLF president Assaad Feghali commented: "We had a lot of interest in the post and are really pleased to begin working with Rick and his team.
"Michael and Tony have been part of the LRLF for a few years now and have an excellent knowledge of the players that have progressed through our system, which will provide strong support. Rick's experience, talent and leadership will be pivotal in directing Lebanon in this exciting new era."
Lebanon are due to play Fiji in Sydney on June 22.

December | 2015 | ?! &/or !?
I almost feel the humidity pass through our borders, yet I cringe at dysfunctional theatrics used like mafia, and I ease into her command, while I list steps along the way, but I predate the will's inevitable ghostly flag, though I stare at backlit digits, and I admire the occupied neither, yet I like when she repetitively extinguishes my lecturing head, while I attempt to deal with a pale cue from this gnarly muse, and I considered bribing nihilism, though I deter an ivory sentiment, while I have new unification, but I practice adapting to worries, and I don't let homelessness be a focal metaphor.


Abraxi taxi has been servicing Saint Augustine area for going on 10 years, now. We are a small, privately owned, full-service cab company. We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year round. We can get you to local restaurants and bars, tour departure locations, or one of the many airports here in the northeast part of Florida.
Abraxi Taxi is fully compliant with all of the regulations put forth by the City of Saint Augustine. This includes proper business and hack licensing, commercial taxi insurance, and the official city medallion. Our cars are inspected by the city garage, where a certified master mechanic performs checks and inspection of all the essentials related to engine and safety, as well as brakes and tires, windows and seat belts. We think we have the nicest, newest and safest livery. And into our well-kept vehicles we place the most knowledgeable professional drivers in town. Our cars even smell nice! That's because we keep them clean and also enforce a non-smoking policy.
We do not use taxi meters. Rather, we base your fare on a zone or flat rate basis. This usually benefits the customer, since no matter what, the price quoted will always be the price you pay. Traffic in the historic portion of the Ancient City can be brutal. The Bridge of Lions goes up many times each day, and often it seems to go up at the most inopportune times. No matter, the flat rate that we've quoted you will be what you pay. This can really favor the passenger when using our airport shuttles.
We charge just 75.00 from Downtown Saint Augustine to the Jacksonville and Daytona airport. Other airports – those further away from the city center - cost more. The brunt of our airport transportation is to Jacksonville International ("JAX"), which is about 50 miles from Saint Augustine - close to the Georgia border. Driving to JAX can take as little as an hour and 15 minutes, but it can also take longer if there is traffic, an accident, or construction on one of the highways. We can pick up at the Daytona airport and for a few extra bucks bring you to the beautiful Castillo Real on Saint Augustine beach.
Keep in mind that Frontier airlines also has seasonal nonstop flights from Chicago and Philadelphia to Northeast Florida Regional Airport NFRA here in Saint Augustine. There are many car rental businesses here but if you need or just prefer to go with a cab, call Abraxi Taxi. We are properly licensed to pick up passengers at the gates.
We will provide our shuttle anywhere in Saint John's county but our base fare of 75.00 is from the downtown area. When you book with us it is your private cab, so you won't need to be sharing with strangers. A bit of privacy can sometimes be a good thing!
Abraxi taxi accepts cash and all major credit cards. A few of our drivers can also accept Pay Pal. If you feel the driver did a great job, then tipping is also an option. And all of our drivers can process credit cards using their smart phones.
As an added bonus our cars are all late model. And because our drivers all live in Saint Augustine they not only know how to get to places the fastest way, but they will make sure you are getting your drinks and dinner at a reputable establishment.
In fact, Abraxi taxi drivers are like having your local Trip Advisor. Saint Augustine has SO much history to share! After all, we are the oldest city in country. Back in the 1500s Ponce De Leon came here looking for the Fountain of Youth and named us "La Florida." That fountain is still here, and well worth a visit.
If you are staying for a few days or more we highly recommend that you check out the Red or Green train/trolley tours to see the many sites we have to offer. Ghosts abound for the paranormal fanatic. The Alligator Farm is worthwhile and has zip lines for the young at heart. So take a sip of that water from Ponce's quest and have a blast. The old jail - especially on one of the special Gravestone Ghost Tours - is really spooky. They put you in the hoosegow, then throw away the key. Some other haunted venues include the lighthouse and Spanish Military Museum located on Aviles street - the oldest street in America. We recently celebrated our 450th birthday. And with all those years come a treasure trove of museums. Try the Lighter or Villa Zorayda --- plenty to do when the weather does not cooperate.
Your visit here will not be complete until you visit our fort, The Castillo de san marcos, the oldest masonry fort in the continental US. This ancient fort is constructed with coquina. Coquina is a type of sedimentary rock composed of shells of mollusks, making it able to absorb the force of cannonballs. Because of this the fort was never breached.
If you like adventure you may want to book a spot on the pirate ship Black Raven for some mock battles and "arrgghhhh-rated" fun. And then there's the pirate museum, owned by Pat Croce of Philadelphia 76ers fame.
Other outings to fill your days: take a trip to one of our beautiful beaches - Vilano or Saint Augustine. Many great restaurants and bars to choose from. For waterfront dining try Caps on the water or the Conch house. We can also highly recommend the Reef restaurant – especially for Sunday brunch. Take a walk on the pier, or charter a deep sea fishing trip. Saint Augustine has many venues that are popular for bachelor and bachelorette parties, with a wide range of beautifully appointed and reasonably priced ocean front houses for rent.
If you are staying in Crescent Beach you may want to try out Marineland, a place that is both fun and educational. Here you can swim with the dolphins. The original Flipper TV show was filmed here, and this was also the location of some fascinating experiments conducted during the second world war. The University of Florida now runs Marineland and is just an hour away from St. Augustine, in Gainesville.
Recently opened is the Saint Augustine Aquarium snorkel adventure, where the truly adventure-loving can swim with sharks and explore for underwater treasure, all the while snorkeling with an abundance of beautiful fish. Does it get any more exciting?
Years ago some great explorers came here looking for treasure, and there is still much treasure to be found in Saint John's County.
Are you a golfer? Then you know that the 5th and richest golf tournament is held in May at the Sawgrass Marriot resort in Ponte Vedra. Here you can tee off on the world famous 17th. And if the Sawgrass fees are a little too steep for your budget, try the Squire or King and Bear - two other top notch courses located in World Golf Village. They are about a 20-minute drive from downtown Saint Augustine. The World Golf Hall of Fame and Bill Murray's Caddy Shack restaurant are also located in the Village.
If you're a fan of music and live performance you may want to check out the Ponte Vedra Beach concert hall – just a short drive North. And of course there is our very own Saint Augustine Amphitheater, a gorgeous outdoor musical treasure here on the island. Just a few of the up and coming shows that will kick off in 2017: Foreigner, Kansas, and Willy Nelson. The season ends in November, so check out the Amphitheater's website for early tickets and special events.
For business meetings there's the Renaissance Hotel and Conference Center – superb location place for those special company meetings. It is a bit of a drive from Saint Augustine but the Renaissance Marriott offers golf packages and limited free shuttle service to the outlet malls and downtown Saint Augustine.
Taxicabs rates here are among the lowest in the country, so there is no reason to drink and drive. Keep your car parked and call a cab. You can get your car later or we can even bring the car to your house. If you know you might have one glass of wine too many at Michael's Tasting Room, just call us! We're more than happy to serve as your designated driver.
As a full service 24-hour cab service we also offer a range of auxiliary services. Like delivery! Maybe you ran out of cigarettes or milk or eggs.

Navel Orangeworm Plague Might be Growing Out of Control
Read the original article from GrowingProduce.com
When it comes to navel orangeworm control in your pistachio, almond, and walnut orchards in the fall and winter, sanitation is the key. While that sounds simple — destroy any mummy nuts — the truth is there are a lot of factors that can make a simple solution complicated.
These complications have financial implications, as labor to help clean up the orchard can be costly and time-consuming. These complications can also come in the form of weather issues that make postharvest cleanup more of a challenge.
"Although this is a proven practice, we still see some growers are not doing this practice, for whatever reason. Sometimes, it is difficult to do mummy sanitation due to the rainfall in the winter, or due to the heavy ground in some orchards. But it is important to plan in advance considering these factors. Sanitation can be done at any time between October and Feb. 1," Jhalendra Rijal, University of California Cooperative Extension Area Integrated Pest Management Advisor for the Northern San Joaquin Valley, says.
Prioritize This Winter
As harvest wraps up, it's a good time to evaluate your overwintering pest pressure, says Emily Symmes, University of California Cooperative Extension Area Integrated Pest Management Advisor for the Sacramento Valley Region. Assess your NOW presence in the mummies in your orchard. This way you can prioritize which orchards need more of your attention in the off-season. Symmes suggests a triage approach. The blocks with the most pressure should be the first to get your attention.
"If economics or orchard access may be an issue this off-season, focus initial and most thorough sanitation efforts where you will get the most bang-for-your buck. Consider harvest damage, overwintering pressure (the combination of mummy density and mummy infestation), history of damage in the orchard or block, and external pressure factors," she says.
These external pressure factors include increased vulnerability due to nearby infested orchards.
"As an individual grower, you can make a lot of effort to heavily sanitize your orchard. But if your neighbors fail to do the same, you may be at risk of navel orangeworm colonizing from these nearby infested orchards," says Houston Wilson, University of California Assistant Cooperative Extension Specialist in Integrated Pest Management. "This is a fairly mobile pest, and so sanitation likely works best as an area-wide approach."
More than Just Sanitation
Yes, sanitation is the most important part of management. But a key component of sanitation isn't just removing mummy nuts, it's also crucial to destroy the mummy nuts by shredding or mowing. While this is easier in almonds and walnuts, pistachio orchard sanitation is more complicated.
"Pistachios are small, and that makes them more difficult to destroy." Wilson says. "Many growers destroy mummy almonds and walnuts by disking, or use of a flail mower, but this is less effective with pistachios."
Symmes says given the nut size of pistachios, they're just easier to miss during the removal and destruction process.
"They are more likely to hang up in the trees, tree crotches, cracks on the ground, etc.," she says. "For any nut crop, make sure to blow nuts off berms, into tree rows, out of crotches, etc., prior to destroying on the ground. Always consider areas around the orchard where mummy nuts might stockpile – make sure not to miss those."
Think About Harvest … and Beyond
While this season's harvest is wrapping up, a strategy to consider is doing a second shake in your walnut orchard to clean up low-value nuts and prevent mummies.
"Anything that leaves more mummies behind translates to more potential navel orangeworm carryover, and therefore will require greater investments in sanitation efforts to achieve low damage next year," Symmes says.
And, it's a good idea to start thinking about orchard management for 2020 – whether that's monitoring, mating disruption, or even planning an early harvest before third flight.
"The idea is to harvest the nuts before the beginning of the third or fourth navel orangeworm (NOW) flight to prevent egg-laying by these fresh females," Rijal says. "Every orchard, in terms of crop vulnerability and NOW pressure, can be different, and a close look of nut development and NOW population is critical to understand what's going on at a particular time."
Wilson says the risk of aflatoxin contamination, which is associated with navel orangeworm infestation, adds further pressure on growers. "For many the goal is less than 1% or 2% infestation," he says, "and we've got to meet the growers where they're at with this."
Wilson says given the current difficulties destroying mummy pistachios, it may be time for some new technology to meet the growers' needs. For instance, by developing better tools to help crush and destroy pistachio mummies.
"It's a technological problem in some regard," he says. "There's an insect issue, but developing a better piece of machinery to destroy pistachio mummies is going to require an engineer, not an entomologist."
Understanding the Pest
Brad Higbee, Research and Development Manager at Trécé Inc., agrees with Symmes that neighboring properties can be an issue – and they don't have to be nut orchards. "A common cause of navel orangeworm infiltration is adjacent crops that may harbor relatively high populations," he says.
Higbee says it's quite common for high populations of NOW to move into different host crops, as they can feed on many different hosts. Since California has nearly 400 crop offerings, there are many places the pest can go. But, naturally, tree nuts are the preferred crop. Plus, in the last 10 to 20 years, there's been a significant growth in tree nut acreage, so that can compound any pest pressure issues.
"This insect is very good at dispersing — it's a strong flier," Wilson says. "They can move quite a bit."
With an understanding of how navel orangeworm can cover ground, it's critical to take a broader approach to management.
"Effective navel orangeworm management to get to low damage requires an area-wide approach, no matter the crop," Symmes says.
Rijal agrees, noting growers need to take a holistic approach to pest management.
"Effective NOW control can be achieved by adopting cultural methods, such as mummy sanitation and early harvest, utilizing orchard damage history and seasonal pest and crop monitoring information in combination with mating disruption and insecticide as needed," he says.
The best way to stop navel orangeworm infestations in the off-season, Symmes says, is to "break the life cycle by removing the population and their overwintering sites. Mummies are also the development sites for early NOW generations next year."
In sum, when it comes to navel orangeworm, growers have to be paranoid, Higbee says.
"Never think you are safe from NOW," he says. "Constant vigilance via monitoring is the best approach."

I absolutely adore my hair. There we go, I said it. It's frowned upon to say 'nice things' about ourselves but in a world full of hate and, many of us struggling with confidence, it's important to practice self-love. Believe me, it's taken me years to be in a position where I love my hair but I'm so glad I took the time to cherish it and work with it, I'm finally getting to where I want to be with it. Side note: getting your hair into a healthy position will never happen overnight if it's as damaged as mine was, we're talking years. If you've followed me for some time, I'm sure you know all about my hair story, from really bad hair extensions to trying literally every hair extension on the market to find the best ones, to my hair refusing to grow and having bald patches. My hair extensions were like a curtain of confidence for me and without them I felt really ugly, for a very long time. I'm finally cherishing and embracing my hair, loving it too. Bad hair days have ruined my confidence, trivial, but true. I've been there, done that. We've all had those days where we destroyed our hair as teens and I feel lucky that my hair has forgiven me in time. Believe me, it was hard not to crumble and just go back to extensions but finally, I have my own thick, medium length hair which is dare I say it, *growing quicker and quicker by the day* and I'm gonna talk you through some of the things I've done to get my hair back into good condition.
1. Find a good hairdresser and never let them go - I find it hard to trust hairdressers, particularly because of the issues I've had over the years. My hair affected my confidence so much in the past and I often feel stupid sitting down and talking through that with a new hairdresser. Over a year ago now, I ventured into Sassoon salon Leeds and sat down with Lee. I've never looked back. We instantly clicked (read about him on my blog post about how to find the best hairdresser for you) and I recommend him to everyone. I've never come across someone so professional and talented. I didn't realise just how much science went into hair until I met Lee and he talked me through what he was doing with my hair, it's fascinating. I'm based between London and Leeds and typically, he's moved to the Manchester Sassoon now (gutted), but I follow him there because I trust in him. I truly believe my hair growth and hair health is down to Lee and the team at Sassoon, they have worked so hard together to ensure my hair stays on the right track. My Mum has always told me how important it is to spend money on a good hairdresser because it's something people see every day. It was her and my Grandma who first told me to go to Sassoon as they've both been going for years. He sat me down on day 1 and we came up with a plan. He proved me wrong (I was shocked when he said how often I'd need it cutting) and has made my un-growable, damaged, nothing hair turn into something I love and feel confident with now.
2. In-between cuts - I regularly go to different people for blow dries, from the top of my head, the best of the best are Conor and Tatty at Sassoon Leeds, the team at Aveda High Holborn in London and all the team at Show Beauty, Nottinghill. Popping in for a quick blow dry with any of these people always leaves me feeling wonderful. I love Show Beauty because it's so easy and quick, they have a few salons now and you literally walk in and walk out feeling like a bouncy goddess. It's perfect if you don't have hours to sit in a salon, you can even go in with wet hair and they'll style it. I love going to places like Sassoon and Aveda though for more of a long, relaxing time, with head massages, even neck massages at Aveda and more of a wellbeing treatment. Getting hair cut is the foundation of good hair but finding someone to blow dry in between cuts, is something that really gives me that confidence. Just make sure they use heat protection. The good thing is, a decent blow dry lasts me 3 days so I don't need to use any heat in between. It's just tricky when I want to work out! I can't explain how confident I feel when I walk out with a signature Conor/Tatty Sassoon blow dry. They make me feel like a new woman.
3. Regular trims - It's a real myth that having regular trims stops your hair from growing. The way I look at it, if I have regular trims it actually means it grows quicker because what does grow isn't dead so I can keep more of it rather than letting my hair grow for a year then having to cut off inches of dead hair. Phew, that's a long sentence but you get what I mean. When I first went through my hair struggles (I basically had tiny strands of hair and bald patches and was told my hair may just not grow anymore as it had been so badly damaged from bad bleach and bad extensions) I got it re-cut every 4 weeks and Lee worked with the movement of my hair (I don't understand the science but if you're Manchester based, go chat to him, he'll sort your hair worries) and you know what, it worked. It's kinda like a flower bed, the more care and nourishment I gave it, the better it got. Years on, my hair is finally thick, strong and in really good condition. It still feels very *pinch me* that I actually have hair.
4. Good products - I do swear by using good hair products, my favourite brands include Kerastase, Kevin Murphy, Sassoon, Aveda, Bumble, Shu Uemura and Redken. I've recently started using Mane and Tale too, a brand I've wanted to use for a long time. I do enjoy using luxury hair products but that's not to say more affordable products aren't good too. You can grab a tub of coconut oil and leave it on as an affordable but equally nourishing hair mask. Tresemme do an amazing coconut shampoo and L'oreal Paris do some of my favourite hair products (their new coconut range is great too). Gone are the days where more affordable brands would fill their products with parabens and silicone, there are so many great, affordable hair brands out there now. Find some of my favourite products for helping with damaged hair below, just remember, it's all about the cut and how you take care of it too, as well as products.
- Coconut Oil - If you want a super affordable hair mask, just put some coconut oil on, there's this one by Vita Coco and this one by Lucy Bee.
- Kiehl's Amino Acid - I love Kiehl's shampoo range as it's more natural than others and has so many good ingridients in it.
- Redken's Extreme Range - Redken is one of my all time favourite brands. I swear by their products for strengthening the hair and if you get the chance to have a Redken treatment, jump at it, they're amazing for damaged hair.
- Aveda Damage Repair - Aveda have long been one of my favourites for top products, from their scalp cleansers to their damage range and their sun range.
- Kerastaste L'Incroyable Blowdry - This is my number one product and I use it whilst blow drying. It protects my hair from heat and my hairdresser swears by it.
- Moroccan Oil - Another product I use when blow drying, I put a tiny bit on the ends.
- GHD Advanced Split Hair Repair - I love everything by ghd and their split hair repair is one of the best for blow drying. I adore everything by ghd.
- Mane N Tale - I was recommended this years ago for hair growth and will be reporting back to let you know how I get on, so far so good.
- L'Oreal Extraordinary Oil - I can't yet find the balm featured above online but will be sure to update when I can. You can use this in so many ways, it's such a multi-tasker and full of coconut oil too for soft hair. You can't go wrong with any L'Oreal products, they use top ingredients and top science, L'Oreal Proffesional are also one of my favourites.
- Botanicals - Such a wonderful, natural haircare brand by L'Oreal. I love their products to use before blow dries, they have so many amazing ranges.
- Viviscal - I'm starting to use these tablets which are meant to promote hair growth, they're some of the best on the market, I can't wait to see if they actually work. They nourish the hair follicle from within so let's see if these help grow my hair!
- Bumble - Bumble is a brand I used to use a lot, their thickening shampoo and hair preserving conditioner are two of my favourite products. I also use their masks a lot to sleep in.
- Sassoon Treatment - Sassoon sell an amazing treatment in salons too which you can take home in a bottle. Coating it on every Sunday in your bath!
4. Play With The Colour - When I was trying to grow my hair big style, I'd barely colour it. Now, I get it done every 12 weeks and the sign of a good hair colourist is one where your colour just gets better with time. It's like that with my hair colourist, I can leave it for 12 weeks and even with loads of growth, it grows out beautifully and doesn't look bad. It gets better with time. I've always been pretty boring with my colour if I'm honest. I've stuck to blonde shades and rarely move from this. It's only in the last month I decided to go wild (seriously, so wild) and get a silver toner put on my hair. You can't really tell on this photo but I have *some* silver strands and actually, I love the icy tones so much, I think next time, I'll ask for more. I've been using L'oreal Professional silver shampoo and it'a definitely the best I've come across. My colourist is absolutely incredible. Louise at Sassoon Leeds is one of the best in the trade (she's got a very long title to prove it too) and whether I want my basic blonde highlights or a silver toner, she just gets it and does it. One thing I'd say about Louise, she's so quick and some people take days to colour my hair. I'm so happy now I've mixed my colour up a little bit, without damaging my hair. It instantly just gives me more confidence and I feel like it stands out a bit better. She really knows how to apply colour so it looks bright and fresh, without snapping all my hair off and damaging it more. I've managed to stay blonde but my hair has still grown thick and got stronger. We've all been there (fellow blondies), coated our head in bleach and then wondered why our hair is frazzled. I luckily moved away from that and Louise just knows what to do to ensure it's vibrant but my hair is no longer frazzled. I did dye my hair pink once with L'Oreal pro and I actually loved it. It's fun to play with colours, particularly because there are a lot of wash out ones around now.
5. Play With The Style - I can be a bit lazy with my hair style and either leave it to try naturally or just blast it with my ghd hair dryer (of course, the best). When I was getting my hair back to strength, I refused to use any kind of heat and I'm so glad I now feel confident enough to use heat again. The only way to make my hair grow and get back into good condition was to be harsh with it and tie it up every day. I didn't use heat for a year (which killed my confidence as I felt and looked awful) I don't use heat on it every day now, usually every other day or just a few times a week and I always use a heat protection. I absolutely love the look of my hair when it's been tonged and that's why I now spend a bit more time playing with hair styles. On 'bad hair days', eg, when I have frizzy holiday hair, I've been wearing it in a low pony, this was always such a no go for me but I get so many compliments. I guess it's all about playing with your hair. I have to say, of course for me ghd do the best tools, I swear by their straighteners and their tongs and they really are the best in the business. I recently purchased a Tresemme curling tong as the barrel is perfectly thick so I get dreamy curls every time and it's so easy and quick to use too, as a cheaper alternative.
6. Regular treatments - Now I do colour my hair more and use heat, I ensure I have regular treatments. My absolute favourite is the liquid gold at Sassoon which just restores my hair and makes it feel so full but look so shiny. I also once had a treatment done in London with Redken, it was their heatcure treatment and honestly, my hair has never looked or felt so good. You can always do regular treatments at home too, I swear by Kerastase and Redken for these too but you can't beat good old coconut as already mentioned. Aveda also have an amazing product that literally clears your scalp (online here) of everything (it sounds awful!) but it means your hair can grow freely as there's no gunk on your scalp. I also had this done at Sassoon too where they show you all the gunk on your scalp with a camera, it's so worth it, see it as clearing your flowerbed/soil so the follicles/grass can grow.
I am still very good with my hair, ensuring I don't miss a hair cut, making sure I use the right treatments, waiting 12 weeks between colours and using blow dries as my styling so I only have to use heat once-twice a week. Slowly but surely, we are still getting there. I'm paying for the mistakes I made and the damage I did to my hair years ago, shocking extensions literally ripping out my scalp and preventing my hair from growing for years, bad bleach jobs, but you know what, with perseverance and care, I no longer have bald patches or tiny little strands of hair. Yes I had to chop what I had left off and go back to basics and yes, I couldn't use any heat but I'm seeing the benefits now of this coupled with a good hair dresser and good products. A really special shout out to the team at Sassoon here too who have worked with me tirelessly every single step of the way. I am a nightmare client, walking in with the worst hair in need of TLC and they worked with me to restore my confidence. Also a shout out to the products I've been using above and the blow dry salons I've mentioned, I always walk out feeling a million dollars and I feel so happy that my confidence is finally coming back.
So there we have it, treat your scalp like a flowerbed, treat your hair like silk and find the hairdresser for you. Be careful with heat and try not to use it every day. I hope this may help some of you when it comes to fixing damaged hair. Thank you so much for reading, I just felt like giving you an update on my hair journey because I really do think a good hair day totally boosts your confidence. Hair care is one of my favourite topics and favourite things as I've done so much research into it over the years because of my damaged hair!
Do you have any hair concerns? Do you use any of the above products? Do you get on with your hairdressers?

Asian governments must combat hate crime towards minorities and indigenous peoples, says annual survey
Press Releases | 03 Jul 2014
Hate crime towards minorities and indigenous peoples is a daily reality across Asia but is often ignored by the governments of the region, Minority Rights Group International (MRG) warns in its annual report.
This year's flagship report, State of the World's Minorities and Indigenous Peoples 2014 , is themed around 'Freedom from Hate' and shows that a worrying trend of vilification and hostility towards minorities and indigenous peoples has spread across the region.
A key aspect of hate crime and hate speech is its invisibility, especially when governments or societies overlook or tolerate entrenched patterns of discrimination against particular communities, says MRG. Across Asia, governments have failed to provide adequate protection to its minority and indigenous populations.
'Hate crimes have been able to flourish in Asia largely as a result of the complicity or support of politicians who stand to gain from the persecution of minorities,' says Mark Lattimer, MRG's Executive Director. 'Hate speech goes unchallenged and crimes are often under-acknowledged and under-reported, enabling perpetrators to operate with impunity.'
Many Asian countries do not have hate speech laws, instead relying on blasphemy and criminal defamation legislation, which are more commonly used to silence political dissent than to protect victims of abuse.
Minority and indigenous communities in South Asia were feeling the effects of political transition in 2013. In India – where 26 sitting legislators have past charges of hate speech — the use of inflammatory language increased ahead of this year's general elections. Research undertaken on behalf of MRG exposed the role played by political parties in encouraging anti-Muslim violence in Uttar Pradesh last September.
In January, Bangladesh also held national elections amid violent protests and popular anger over the proceedings of the International Crimes Tribunal, which saw attacks on Hindu minorities in the Muslim-majority country. Pakistan is witnessing a surge in violence against its Shi'a and Hazara communities, despite undergoing its first-ever transition of power between two democratically elected governments.
In Sri Lanka, Buddhist nationalists are conducting an increasingly vocal hate campaign against the country's Muslim minority, including calling on people to boycott halal food and Muslim-owned businesses. The government has done little to stop them.
Hate crimes send a message not only to the individuals targeted, but also to their communities. This is especially evident in gender-based violence against minority and indigenous women, with rape and sexual assault employed as a weapon of war or an instrument of oppression to fragment and humiliate entire civilian populations, warns MRG.
In July 2013, a Dalit woman in Nepal who reported her attempted rape by an upper-caste man was covered in soot and garlanded with shoes by a mob of 60 people, with the assault videotaped and uploaded onto YouTube.
In Southeast Asia, minorities were used as scapegoats to advance xenophobic political agendas, culminating in attacks on communities viewed as 'foreign' in several countries. In Cambodia, anti-Vietnamese invective was used by the opposition party in a bid to discredit Prime Minister Hun Sen, while 'yellow shirt' protesters in Thailand whipped up anti-Cambodian sentiments.
In Malaysia, Prime Minister Najib Razak blamed a 'Chinese tsunami' for the electoral losses he suffered in May 2013, aggravating ethnic tensions in the diverse Muslim-majority country.
But it was in Burma, where a slow process of reform has opened up some degree of free expression, that the situation for minorities was arguably most acute. In addition to reports of ongoing military abuses against ethnic minorities, a large number of Muslims, including the stateless Rohingya, were killed or displaced during the year by Buddhist vigilantes.
'Normalised discrimination and hate speech lead inexorably to violence towards minorities and indigenous peoples,' added Lattimer. 'That is why it is imperative for countries to curb the use of demeaning or inflammatory language in political discourse, sermons, the media and online.'
In Australia, hostile rhetoric against refugees and asylum seekers in the media and among politicians has driven increasingly negative popular attitudes towards these groups and harsher policies of containment, including offshore processing centres.
While this year's report documents disturbing levels of violence and propaganda targeting minorities and indigenous peoples in Asia, it also includes many examples of how hatred is being countered by legislators, politicians, journalists, and local communities.

Right, it's division without ignorance. So it is different than the division that actually developed.
Also, Frankfurter thought political scientists took the language of judicial opinions too seriously. Later, political scientists seemed to go to the other extreme, mainly focusing on outcomes and dismissing or ignoring judges' explanations.
Bill, Great passage. But I am not sure I agree with your characterization. Was Frankfurter really calling for "more of a division", as you commented in Great Moments I, or clear allocation of roles in order to produce a better dialogue?
Frankfurter says, "Only after we have such an [empirical?] analysis [by the economists and political scientists] is it the function of the American lawyer either to find within the existing body of law resources adequate to reconcile law with wisdom, or, if that reconciliation is impossible, to fashion new law. Until the economists and political scientists attend to their special tasks [of empiricism?] and we lawyers to ours and each has an awareness of the others' problems, we shall continue to have what Alvin Johnson calls the cross-sterilization of the social disciplines."
Frankfurter wants (a) a clear division of labor, and (b) an awareness and dialogue among the disciplines. This vision hasn't come to pass. But if it had, the Great Divide would look quite different.


The Valley View site was UWL's first local archaeology project. In 1978, four years before MVAC was created, topsoil removal for construction of the Valley View Mall exposed the well-preserved remains of a late precontact Oneota village. Local collectors familiar with the area's plowed fields knew the location as a "hot spot" for artifacts. Jim Gallagher, a faculty member at UWL, gathered students and volunteers to map the site and conduct limited excavations. Jim also contacted UW-Madison, where two archaeology graduate students, Kathy Stevenson and Jim Theler, agreed to analyze some of the plant and animal remains.

Feature 249 was one of the garbage-filled pits along the inside of the palisade.
This map shows the features uncovered in 1979.
Discovery of the site came too late for the mall's developers to change their plans. Planning delays postponed the construction, and the developers graciously allowed a longer excavation in 1979 and offered to preserve the portion of the site outside of the construction area. Dayton-Hudson Companies and the Dayton-Hudson Foundation also provided support for the excavation. Jim Gallagher directed the 1979 work, along with Kathy Stevenson, who used the site for her doctoral dissertation. UWL's first field school was held there for eight weeks, and volunteers continued the work for another three weeks.
The Valley View excavation focused on the part of the site that would be destroyed by mall construction. The project uncovered nearly three hundred Oneota pit features (refuse or storage pits) filled with animal bone, charred plant remains, pottery, and stone tools and debris. Traces of a palisade around the village also were discovered. Large, garbage-filled pits inside the palisade wall might have been borrow pits for mounding dirt along the palisade.
The animal remains at Valley View showed the typical Oneota mix of large and small game, agriculture, and heavy use of floodplain resources. With few overlapping pit features, and abundant remains of fish, mussels, turtles, and other river and wetland resources, the site seemed to reflect a short-term, warm-season occupation. Flotation led to the recovery of fragile crayfish shell and eggshell fragments—an unusual find, and a great seasonal indicator.
The refuse pits produced large amounts of well-preserved fish bone.
The mussel shells in the top row were very well preserved.
This tiny projectile point was made from a deer's 3rd phalanx—the small bone inside the hoof.
Some of the site's tiny pieces of eggshell were identified as giant Canada goose.
Valley View was the first (and so far the only) palisaded Oneota site discovered in La Crosse. The field evidence was sketchy—small, shallow remnants of a narrow trench on the west side of the site, and two parallel, diffuse stains on the north side. Fortunately, discovery of a map made by mound surveyor T. H. Lewis in 1885 clarified the situation. Lewis mapped a palisade embankment ringing the site and two trenches to the north. (All were later obliterated by plowing.) Redrawn from Lewis's measurements, these features superimposed perfectly on the 1979 excavation map.
Oneota sites in the La Crosse area date from about A.D. 1300 to A.D. 1625. How does Valley View fit in? Radiocarbon dates from the early 1600s place Valley View at the end of the Oneota occupation. Similar Oneota sites across the Mississippi River in Minnesota are later and have European trade goods. The abundant plant and animal remains at Valley View, and the presence of materials from other regions, show no signs that its people were under stress. Yet the presence of a palisade, especially in an easily defended location, suggests that they wanted to be able to defend themselves. Perhaps they were feeling the effects of European contact in other regions, decades before Europeans actually reached the La Crosse area.
The northern trench stains were dark and diffuse.

After the field school and the volunteer excavation were over, the crew and equipment trailer headed back to campus, and the bulldozer started stripping away part of the site. Kathy Stevenson coaxed Jim Gallagher into letting her sample one more feature. Field school student Rita Landgraf stood guard as Kathy excavated and the bulldozer got closer. The feature was a deep, bell-shaped storage pit with a cluster of pottery at the very bottom. The pottery turned out to be the only reconstructable pot from the site—now on display at the Riverside Museum in downtown La Crosse.
Valley View was UWL's first major excavation—and the beginning of years of work on local Oneota sites that lay in the path of development. Fortunately, part of the Valley View site was left in place and is still preserved today. The excavation yielded a tremendous amount of information that has helped us understand how people lived four centuries ago.

Feature 35, with its mix of animal bone, pottery, stone tools, and other materials, was only one of many informative features.
