"Most life-altering book I've read"
Everyone should read this book. Possibly you could find a couple other books that cover the subjects better but I don't know them and this has a lot to get you started.
As noted by others, it's perhaps 2 books in 1. Gardner does a great job of presenting the recent about-face in our model or understanding about how we think. Our primitive, quick and emotional brain is in the driver's seat but is prone to many mistakes from biases no longer appropriate in the modern world. Our conscious and learned brain is reasoned but slow and lazy and loathe to override our hunches. The various vestigial biases from our prior evolution are very well explained in lay terms and this is the most valuable lesson I've learned from any book in many years.
How our subconscious biases lead to mistakes in judgement and distortions of danger and risk are similarly well explained. How these biases led to (what I'll call) the mass hysteria over 9-11 and terrorism is then covered in perhaps excess.
This leads to a 2nd way this book was so revolutionary to me, from the hub-bub over the initial terrorism to the Iraq invasion, I was aghast that media and the public were so uniformly enthralled and supportive of our government's efforts. As a physician, I see every day the effects of overeating, under-exercising and smoking. These lifestyle factors kill 100 times more per year in the US than the single terrorist event. Why was everyone ignoring these real threats to American prosperity/well-being and focusing on a remote and irrelevant threat of terrorism? Having read the book, now I know.
Knowing how people make decisions has changed the way I practice medicine. e.g.: One bias you'll learn we have is, if a product or technology is perceived to have high benefit, it is automatically assigned low danger and vice versa. Specifically in my business, if a drug is thought to have high danger, it automatically is seen as having low benefit. And, once this danger/benefit level is assigned, it won't change. I no longer argue when my patients say they're afraid to try a drug I think may help them if they've seen the TV ad and are frightened. I'll just have to try something else. I won't convince a smoker to quit with facts and figures, they have to be scared. Seeing a picture of smoker's lungs at autopsy is worth more than a thousand words.
(Another vice versa: the public universally perceives a hospital as the place that can save you from the worst disease and injury. The extreme danger from being in a hospital and over-use of medications and interventions is not factored in.)
To live well in the modern world, you must understand your caveman biases and how they lead to wrong decisions. Politicians and advertisers know them well and use them to trick you continuously. Unfortunately, one of our biases is that we don't see biases in ourselves. (We have poor metacognition despite what we think. Is that ironic?) So our biases must be explained to us in a non-offensive way (as soon as you hear something opposing your world-view, your likely to dismiss the rest). This book does an excellent job. I think it has taught me more than a year's worth of medical school.
"Great Rational Read!"
A very interesting look at the world in which we live.
It really brought home a lot of the things I've thought about for years regarding fear marketing and the politics of fear. It doesn't matter which side of the political spectrum you lean towards. Very informative.
"Lots of Factoids"
I purchased this because of all the great reviews. I found the delivery dry and dull, as if reading a list from the Guiness Book of Records or an Encyclopedia a lot of factoids collected from various schools of thought. Wasn't cohesive enough for me, so I stopped half way. I will try and listen to it again and if I change my mind, will amend review.
"Excellent synthesis and analysis"
I actually listened to this book twice because I found it so insightful and interesting. The author brings together several diverse fields in an understandable and persuasive way. He debunks several common fears and helps put others in their proper perspective.
There are many books on the market that deal with error, cognitive bias and heuristics. This book presents enough information to make the concepts understandable and relevant without getting overly academic. He then provides concrete, real world examples of how they influence behavior and perceptions.
The author tackles cancer, terrorism, pollution, pedophiles and violent crime. He gives a very realistic analysis of popular perceptions of these risks. Then he dissects them in terms of the actual risk they pose to the average person (much less than perceived) and convincingly shows where the discrepancies arise.
He covers psychology, evolutionary biology, heuristics, history, politics and statistics but somehow keeps the material from getting dry or overly technical. It's a delicate balance and he manages to keep up the balancing act for the entire book.
The book is an excellent antidote to the alarmist "is your family safe?!" stories that the press currently engages in.
"Don't be afraid"
Gardner uses many studies that show that people make decisions with their gut and rarely do we make them based on evidence and critical thinking. We need to become more aware of how and why we fear so much.
We live in the safest of times in human history, but we are more afraid than ever. It does not make sense, but it seems to be the case. Why can't we do an objective analysis is a major issue for those listening.
A good audiobook. Good clear narration with a style well suited to audio. Full of interesting examples to support the thesis.
It gave me new insights into how people (myself included) react to and sometimes fail to recognise risk.
Learn, understand, then decide whether you accept or reject.
"Feel the Fear But Do It Anyway"
If you're looking for a biological exploration of the mechanics of fear, then this isn't the book you're looking for.
Instead, this book looks at the social and psychological causes and effects of fear, and how to get over the negative impacts of fear.
Not the best book around, but definitely insightful.
Audible has changed my life! Dry , itchy eyes were destroying one of my greatest pleasures - reading. Now I am experiencing books again!
"Scares You To Death!"
There's little in this book that most of us do not already know -- in our heads. But that's the point. Human beings are much more likely to react to what's in our gut. So we need this reminder badly and more often than we get it!
Everyone should read or hear this book. Parents, senior citizens, voters, TV watchers, drivers, flyers -- the list goes on and on. We need to be reminded that perspective is needed in determining risk factors in our lives. And we need to be reminded that many people and organizations profit greatly from exploiting our tendencies to fear.
Whether it's for monetary gain (hello, pharmaceuticals!), power retention (politicians, police chiefs), or ratings (TV movies, newscasts) motives, fear is the go-to message with which we all are constantly bombarded. Be afraid, be very afraid!
Horrible as any possibility is, statistics prove that the vast majority of us will not be murdered; our children will not be abducted by strangers; occasional insomnia will not lead to social banishment and death. The true dangers may be in self-induced stress, in keeping children inside and overly-protective, in taking too much medication.
Sure, the book's content is repetitive, but so is the constant drumming of fear we get elsewhere every day. A little repetition is justified in getting out this message of perspective. "The Science of Fear" could change for the better the way we think, the way we consume, and the way we vote.
Say something about yourself!
"Get your head into your fears!"
Mr. Gardner is not a psychologist, or a sociologist, and that is great. He is an investigative reporter/writer. And as one who has done a lot of research, from all angles of the science of fear, he does not write from a particular view point. Therefore he is able to write about fear from many viewpoints without the bias that would be present from another type of writer.
The author has layed out fear, and it's drivers in our thoughts, feelings and actions in modern life. And how the politicians and corporations use fear to manipulate how we think of what they do, or what we should buy. He also points out the many things that are not done because of fear can and do costs many lives. As well as huge amounts of money every year. If people used their head more often and less of their gut in making life's decisions we all would be much better off. I think this book is a must read for anyone wanting to take more control of their thoughts of the world around them; and their lives.
Mr. Peterson does a very professional job with the narration. I did not find him having anything that would interfere with listening to his narration. I enjoyed it, and would listen to him again.
Classics, history, historical fiction, marketing, Napoleonic stuff and of course 'Boys own Adventure'. This is my bent. Occasional self help as well.
"Open your eyes to the real world"
Daniel Gardner moves through the basics of genetics, history and culture and then moves into the mathematical science (statistics) to really show what we fear does not add up. This book isn't a self help guide to fixing your fears and growing as a human being, but rather the nuts and bolts of how fear works in our lives, why it seems silly to be controlled by it and how we should really work with it. Don't get me wrong, danger is real, fear is a choice, this book will help you see that and hopefully overcome fear to really get on with life.

I was signed up for it but had to cancel last minute which was a bummer. Had friends who did it though seemed pretty rad.
It is, you should get yourself on it. 3 miles is prob the best place to start if you haven't done them before.

Yea I did one here in MA with a couple of my friends, I am not a good runner but it was fun like carrying rocks and stuff. My suggestion is to wear like football (american football) cleats because the terrain is going to get chewed up and you don't want to roll your ankle cause your running shoes could not grip. Football cleats i have are high tops and provide more support. My buddy also did the zombie run thing. I think Patrick had done one of those out in Indiana.

When motorcycle leaders like John Shope of Dirty Bird Concepts and Paul Yaffe of Bagger Nation put their stamp on a custom motorcycle, you know it's going to turn some heads. That's exactly what they've done with these two bikes built by two teams of Black Hills area high school students led by Program Coordinator Keith Terry of Terry Components in the Buffalo Chip Challenge™. Team Shope featured a 2014 Indian Chieftain customized under the guidance of Chris Malo from Baggster. Team Yaffe, supervised by Nick and Randy Cramer from Dakota V-Twin, customized a 2014 Harley-Davidson Road King.

[artist id="611″]Fat Joe[/artist]'s video for "Drop a Body" was filled with volcanic eruptions, lightning and a mountain of dead bodies, but when the video dropped in June, Joe's appearance overshadowed all of that. A considerably slimmer Joe stood atop said mountain, raising eyebrows and the clip's number YouTube views. Joe said he was just as shocked by people's reactions to his weight loss, because he was just trying to save his life.
"I'm not trying to impress nobody or nothing like that," Joe told MTV News. "I'm just trying to get healthy so I can be here for my family and take care of my kids and live the life that was intended for me to live, so it was crazy when I started getting all this attention. Two weeks from now, CNN is coming to my house, Sanjay Gupta, a big special, and all this attention is crazy."
Joe said he was 360 pounds when he started losing weight, and after finding himself at much-more-manageable 260 pounds a year later, he still wasn't satisfied. Initially, he wanted to lose weight because in the past year, several of his friends have lost their lives due to their weight. Joe recalled attending one of his friends' funerals and seeing himself in that position. He knew then it was time to make a change.
"I went to my friend's funeral in the Bronx, and he was just the funniest, coolest dude on earth," Joe recalled. "He's got a daughter, she's the same age as my daughter, and it just felt like I was there, and I could just see my family in the funeral and I was like, 'Damn, he left his daughter, and she's only 5,' " he explained.
"That was the wake-up call. Then I just jumped on that treadmill and started eating right. It's not rocket science: It's the same thing they keep telling you to do, you actually just have to do it."
Joe said he always asked God why he continued to bless him, despite his past and him not being a perfect person. And then he realized his weight-loss battle might be his calling. He hopes that he can inspire others to do the same.
"One of my boys lives in Detroit, he said he came out his building, he got two dudes that been the fattest dudes on the block forever, they have weights outside and was running around the block, and he was like, 'Yo, what's up?' and they were like, 'We on that Fat Joe wave!' "

The men were purportedly after money.
It might sound like the beginning of one of Michael Bay's films, in which a pair of nondescript criminals convey the dilapidated nature of said futuristic dystopian city by way of a failed – yet very serious – crime. But, unfortunately, this was real, and Bay was attacked.
Michael Bay was attacked filming in Hong Kong
The Transformers director was injured on the right side of his face when two men attacked him and his film crew, demanding money. They were arrested suspicion of blackmail and assault. Bay didn't seek treatment, though, suggesting the injury wasn't too serious. He was soon filming his latest robo-epic on the busy Hong Kong Island area.
According to Reuters, the men were brothers aged 27 and 28. The younger brother demanded payment of HK$100,000 ($12,900), a police spokeswoman said. Also arrested at the scene was a third man surnamed Chan. All three are in custody and police are investigating.
Bay is filming for the fourth Transformers film, called Age of Extinction. There was a film back in 1986, but that was nothing to do with the Armageddon director. His three films in the robot franchise have made over $1b from worldwide box offices. Writing on his website earlier this year, the director confirmed that "the story makes a very natural transition, and reason as to why we have a whole new cast. This Transformers will feel very different then the last three. We are embarking on a new trilogy."
Jack Reynor revealed the new movie would take a ''definite step away'' from the previous three films. He teased: ''There's a whole new direction to take it in, and a lot more to explore in that universe, and I think we're going to make a definitive step away from the previous movies, and this is going to be a lot of fun and I'm incredibly excited.'' (The Hollywood Reporter)

A method of introducing therapeutic, cosmetic, and dyeing agents in buffer medium created by the electrophoretic flow of these solutions into the hair. The result is to increase the therapeutic effect of treatments for the hair including hair growth and regeneration. Other results include the even and stable dyeing of hair due to the increased adhering properties created through the electrophoretic device and the solutions used with it. These solutions include, but are not limited to, those dyeing and therapeutic agents which do not readily stick to the hair or those which may form unstable compounds.
1. A method of dyeing hair comprising the steps of:
applying a solution containing a dyeing agent to hair; and
generating an electric field within the hair of sufficient strength and duration to induce flow and coupling of the dyeing agent to the hair by electrophoresis wherein generation of the electric field comprises forming a plurality of positive electrodes and a plurality of negative electrodes juxtaposed the positive electrodes.
2. A method according to claim 1, wherein the applying step includes forming a dispersion of dyeing agent within a buffer, and applying the dispersion to the hair.
3. A method according to claim 1, wherein the dyeing agent is melanin.
4. A method according to claim 2, wherein the dyeing agent is melanin.
5. A method according to claim 2, wherein the melanin comprises 0.5 to 10% by volume of the dispersion.
6. A method according to claim 1, further comprising varying the intensity of the electric field and quantity of dyeing agent in the dispersion in accordance with a desired resulting hair color.
7. A method according to claim 1, wherein the step of generating an electric field includes forming a plurality of oppositely charged electrodes and combing the electrodes through the hair.
8. A method according to claim 7, wherein the electric field is applied to the hair for a time of about five minutes.
9. A method according to claim 1, wherein the step of generating an electric field includes forming a comb with a plurality of conductive teeth, and connecting alternating ones of the teeth to opposite poles of a voltage source.
10. A method according to claim 9, wherein the voltage source is a battery.
The present invention relates generally to dyeing solutions and methods of applying same to hair, and more specifically, to an apparatus and method of applying dyeing solutions, as well as other cosmetic and therapeutic solutions, to hair or skin. For hair dyeing, an electrophoretic comb is used to cause melanin to fixedly adhere to hair.
Melanin is a naturally occurring coloring matter, and is found as a chromoprotein in hair, dark skins, certain insects and plants. With age, the body produces less melanin, and as a result, hair turns grey or white.
In the past, melanin has been applied to hair as a dyeing agent. An example can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,273,550 to Prota et al., in which an aqueous composition containing 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) is applied to the hair, and the DHI diffuses into the hair shaft and turns into melanin via a dopa-oxidant reaction.
Other hair dyeing techniques and solutions are typically based on the use of harsh chemicals. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,453,941 to Jacobs et al. describes a method of dyeing hair using N-acetyl-dopamin and omega-amino acid. The hair was wetted with N-acetyldopamine and beta-alanin solutions.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,775,527 to Bires et al. describes the use of an aqueous preparation on the basis of melanin dissolution and/or oxidation of a hair colorant dye intermediate, which contains as a swelling and penetration agent an N-alkyl pyrrolidone with different alkyl groups.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,834,767 to Helioff et al. describes another example of a hair dyeing process using a swelling and penetration agent. The agent of choice is a quaternized amino lactam.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,173,085 to Brown et al. shows the prolonged formation of melanin from 5,6-dihydroxindole used with the subsequent use of hydrogen peroxide solution and oxidizing in air.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,279,618 to Prota et al. teaches a combination of dopa, oxidant and couplers, which improve and speed up the process of hair dyeing.
Many of the foregoing references describe methods of hair dyeing that are based on the natural process of melanin developing from its precursors containing several dozens of chemical compounds. However, the concentration of dyeing agents, which would be enough for diffusion of dyeing agents is formed slowly. Thus, these methods are time consuming, and only the use of the ions of transitory metals and the strong oxidants might slightly accelerate it. Moreover, the use of mixtures, including the active oxidants, can be harmful to the hair.
There have been a variety of devices developed over the years for introducing treatment solutions to the hair and scalp. Representative examples include U.S. Pat. No. 4,090,522 to Donley et al. and U.S. Pat. No. 4,691,720 to Schmitz. In the former, a comb is provided with fluid-communicating teeth for applying a medication to the scalp. Fluid flow is by gravity. In the latter, a comb is used for applying dye to hair.
In some cases, electric devices have been used to apply an electric field to the scalp. U.S. Pat. No. 1,099,062 to Laposkey describes a device in which an electric current is induced in the scalp of the user. U.S. Pat. No. 1,724,984 to Wildey describes a comb having two rows of teeth that are electrically coupled to opposite terminals of a battery. A light bulb is connected between the rows of teeth.
In none of the above references has it been suggested how to affix an environmentally safe, naturally occurring dyeing agent to hair on a relatively long term basis.
An object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for dyeing hair in which the number of chemicals is minimized.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for dyeing hair in which the active dyeing agent is a naturally occurring substance.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for dyeing hair in which the dyeing effect is substantially permanent.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an electrophoretic method and apparatus for applying therapeutic, cosmetic, and/or dyeing agents to various anatomical sites, especially human hair.
Still another object of the present invention is to minimize, or even exclude, the use of harmful oxidants, such as hydrogen peroxide, in a hair dyeing process.
These and other objects are achieved by providing a method of dyeing hair which includes the steps of applying a solution containing a dyeing agent to hair, and generating an electric field within the hair so as to induce flow and coupling of the dyeing agent to the hair by electrophoresis.
In another aspect of the present invention, an apparatus for dyeing hair includes a plurality of teeth coupled to a voltage source, alternating ones of the teeth having opposite polarity to establish localized electric fields within which a dyeing agent, cosmetic agent, and/or a therapeutic agent is induced to flow and couple to a variety of anatomical sites, such as hair.
Other objects, advantages and salient features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, which, taken in conjunction with the annexed drawings, discloses preferred but non-limiting embodiments of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of an apparatus for electrophoretically applying a therapeutic, cosmetic, and/or hair dyeing agent, according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the apparatus of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a front view of the apparatus of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of the teeth and supporting structure of the apparatus of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 5 is a wiring schematic of the apparatus of FIG. 1.
The present invention relies on electrophoresis to cause a therapeutic, cosmetic or dyeing agent to couple to an anatomical site, such as hair. In electrophoresis, electric current is not applied for direct action upon the skin and hair. Instead, it creates a flow of electrically charged particles of medication or dyeing agents into the hair or skin. The creation of a directed particles flow in the electric field facilitates the method of dyeing hair using the natural high molecular melanin. While entering into skin and hair, the electrically charged particles join those components of biological tissues, which had opposite charge, thus becoming electro-neutral and stopping the continued flow of the solutions in the electric field.
The prior art used diffusion in hair dyeing methods. Diffusion involves the disorderly thermal motion of molecules. When using this method, the fluid motion of medication and dying compounds will take a chaotic diversified character. At any given moment only a slight portion of these particles will be moving in a direction of the object, such as skin or hair. At the same time a certain quantity of these particles will diffuse back into the solution. For this reason, it will be necessary to use high concentrations of active agents.
Although electrophoresis has been known for some time, its use has been principally in the area of clinical analyses of proteins in diseases, genetics, and criminalistics for the separation of nucleotides. This method is widely used in industry to separate different compounds from impurities.
Pursuant to the present invention, the separation aspect of electrophoresis is used to introduce treatment and cosmetic solutions into hair or skin. The dyeing agents, for example, are separated from its transport fluid medium and induced to enter into the tissue space of the hair.
In order to enhance the effectiveness of diffusion processes, others have used heating sources. However, in the cosmetic field, heating is very limited because of the properties of living systems. In general, high temperatures harm the living tissues.
In certain cases compounds have natural electrical charges. However, if the compounds do not have electrical charges, through electrophoresis one can create an electrical charge by modifying the compounds or combine compounds that are electrically charged. In other words, if the necessary compounds do not have electrical charge, such a charge might be formed artificially using chemical modifications of the compounds.
Moreover, there are many ampholytic compounds having positive and negative charges. By suppressing the cationic or anionic dissociation in the medium, the oppositely charged particles are now becoming activated. When such compounds in the solution are placed within the conductivity and the electrical charge is on, the negatively charged particles start to flow towards the positive pole, or anode, and the positively charged towards the negative pole, or cathode.
Melanin was placed in a buffered solution having a pH in the range of 7.5 to 10 for melanin of plant origin and for Lipomelanin, and a pH of 6 to 7 for the low molecular genetic melanin. The solution is then applied to the hair liberally.
An electrophoretic device is then used to cause the melanin solution to migrate and couple to hair. Referring to FIGS. 1-3, an electrophoretic device 10 includes a handle portion 12 and an integrally formed body portion 14. The body portion supports a row of electrically conductive, spaced apart teeth 16.
The teeth 16 are coupled to a battery power source 18 disposed within either or both of the handle and body portions 12 and 14. The teeth are coupled so that every other one of the teeth is coupled to one pole of the battery and the remaining teeth are coupled to the opposite pole, so that alternating ones of the teeth have opposite polarity.
As seen in FIG. 4, the teeth 16 are insulated from each other at their proximal ends by an insulating strip 20. Every other tooth, including teeth 16a and 16b, are electrically interconnected by a conductive bar 22, which is then electrically connected to one of the terminals of the battery power source 18. For example, if the bar 22 is coupled to the positive terminal, then the teeth coupled thereto, including teeth 16a and 16b, will be positively charged.
The other teeth, including teeth 16b and 16d, are mounted on a second conductive bar 24 which is electrically isolated from conductive bar 22 by a strip 26 of insulating material. As the teeth coupled to bar 24 pass through the bar 22, they preferably pass through insulators so that the teeth mounted on bar 24 do not contact the bar 22. Bar 24 is electrically coupled to the other terminal of the battery power supply. For example, with bar 22 coupled to the positive terminal, bar 24 would be coupled to the negative terminal, so that the teeth mounted on bar 24 are negatively charged.
The battery power source can provide a range of voltages. It has been discovered that there exists a functional correlation between voltage and hair coloration, such that darker hair color can be obtained with higher voltages. Generally, voltages can range from 0.1 to 50 volts. Higher voltage may have a coloration effect, but have been avoided for safety reasons. The best results are in the range of 5 to 25 volts. Amperages range from 0.005 mA to 0.900 mA, with best results between 0.01 and 0.10 mA.
Referring to FIG. 5, the battery power source 18 includes three series connected 9 volt batteries B1, B2, and B3. A three-way switch 28 connects the power supply to the comb either at 9, 18, or 27 volts, depending on the desired effect. Additional optional components of the circuit include a current limit indicator 30, a battery low indicator 32, and a fuse 34.
Various compounds were tested for their electrophoretic mobility, the speed and direction of the compounds. To determine the flow of compounds, free electrophoresis, i.e., in solution, can be used. In addition, other supporting media can be used, such as paper, cellulose acetate, starch, polyacrylamide, etc.
The tested component is spread upon the medium and the direct current is switched on. After the appropriate time, and, if necessary, after the dyeing process, the direction and the distance is calculated. Based on this data the time necessary for the procedure is determined.
The choice of buffer medium depends upon several events. The following conditions must be taken into consideration: (1) the highest mobility of the component, (2) the absence of harmful ingredients in the buffer, and (3) the physiologically available limits of pH.
For compounds having no charge, i.e., electro-neutral, a chemical modification might be used, which forms such a charge, or they might be additionally joined to the charged molecule.
In case the hair possesses a very strong keratin cuticle, which prevents the electrophoresis, chemical compounds capable of destroying the S--S bonds or the relative enzymes might be used.
All examples that follow describe a solution containing an active agent, such as melanin, and a buffer. The buffer can be any of a variety of commercially available buffers, which may include water, phosphates and acetates. The ranges of active agents are measured as weight/volume (such as 10 grams of melanin per 100 ml of buffer). Also, for melanin, it is preferred to add about 2 to 3 cc of ammonia per 100 ml of buffer.
A hair dyeing solution using human melanin was tested. The preliminary test with electrophoresis in agarose shows that this melanin is moving in alkali medium in an electric field in the direction of the anode. The solution, containing melanin, is spread upon hair and is combed with an electrophoretic device. The period of this process determines the desired color or tint.
While using a 0.5% solution of melanin in a buffer up to pH 8, a medium golden tint of hair is achieved in about five minutes.
A hair dyeing solution using plant melanin was tested. The preliminary electrophoretic test has shown the motion of such melanin molecules towards the anode. The hair dyeing process was the same as in Example I. Virgin hair was used in different concentrations of melanin from 0.5% to 10%. The results were as follows:
______________________________________Concentration Hair Color______________________________________0.5% light golden1.5% dark golden3.0% brown5.0% dark brown 10% brunette______________________________________
In this example, the electrophoretic device of the present invention was used with commercially available melanins produced by Lipo Chemical Company and genetic companies such as BioSource Technologies, Inc. The hair was preliminarily processed with oxidants or keratininase solution in order to weaken the cuticle layer and make the hair medulla available.
Similar techniques to those discussed in Example I were used to apply the melanin-containing solution, and comparable coloration was achieved.
Hair dyeing with catecholamine (pyrocatechine) derivatives described in the prior art patents was performed, except without the recommended oxidants, but using the electrophoretic methods described herein. Results were comparable to those mentioned above.
The same method as that used in Example IV was used with the dyes of diphenylamine-row, with satisfactory results.
The use of electrophoresis and most importantly the use of the electrophoretic device described hereinbelow solves the adhesion problem by enabling the hair to absorb various solutions through the directed flow of electrically charged particles in normal conditions and without the need for increased temperatures.
In addition to the aforementioned use of electrophoresis with hair, it is also noted that there is an electrochemical process that occurs on positive and negative electrodes. In particular, the effusion of the oxygen upon the electrodes can be used for the oxidation of commercial hair dyes. This would eliminate the use of chemical oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide and persulphates.
While advantageous embodiments have been chosen to illustrate the subject invention, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Denard Span Admits Not Understanding Double-Switch Rules, Thought He Was Being Benched When Subbed Out of Game
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 4/15/13
Baseball's rules can be pretty intricate, and knowing all of them can be tough — even for players. That apparently goes double for players switching from the American League to the National League, as first-year Washington outfielder Denard Span learned Sunday. After the Nats pinch-hit for starter Gio Gonzalez and made a double-switch for pitcher Zach Duke in the fifth inning, Span thought that he was being benched when informed that he was no longer in the game. "I'm like, 'Did I not hustle? What did I do?' " Span said after the game. "I didn't know what was going on. I've never been pulled out of the game like that. I'm still learning. Honestly, I'm starting to kind of understand it, but I still don't fully understand it. I understand what's going on, obviously. It just doesn't make sense to me." The strategy behind the double switch is to allow a pitcher the longest time possible without having his turn at bat. Since Span made the last out of the inning, he was the candidate to get swapped out for Duke's spot in the lineup. "I thought maybe I got benched," Span continued. "I was like, 'What did I do?' They had to break it down to me, let me know what was going on. Even though I still don't understand. I just shook my head and took a seat." While he's been taught the rules now, Span doesn't seem too confident in his ability to keep them straight. If he ever becomes a manager after his playing days are over, he promised it would be in the American League.

Lawmakers Reject Price Hikes
By Alabama Public Radio
Montgomery, AL – The state House rejected bills Tuesday that would have raised fees to increase revenue for the General Fund budget. The budget is projected to have a shortfall of more than 300 million dollars. Lawmakers voted against a measure that would have increased the annual fee for highway billboard advertisements from 25 dollars to 50 dollars. Another would have increased the cost of getting a driver's record from the Department of Public Safety. Governor Bob Riley supported both proposals, but House leaders say Tuesday's votes show legislators are still reluctant to raise taxes or fees. They say lawmakers point to last year's overwhelming rejection of the governor's one-point-two billion dollar tax plan.

I'm trying to find out what Verizon's cheapest copper wire phone plan is. No long distance, no caller ID, no voicemail, nothing but local phone service.
They must keep this information tucked away somewhere. All I can find is "unlimited this" and "unlimited that." I'd be glad to pay per minute if that was the cheapest plan.
Does ANYONE know where I can find this information?
If you call Verizon, you can ask them for the cheapest plan
They will of course try to upsell you like crazy
I have not looked at the Verizon tariffs in years , but the basic local service was called measured service
The usoc was 1MR
You paid for every outgoing call
Many of my neighbors have this service since it provides them a safe reliable backup for emergencies ( power outages, 911, reverse 911, burglar alarm ) . Many leave the ringer off and they use their multiple cell phone for most calls.
Thanks. I was hoping to find information online before calling them. It's such a nuisance to have to drag infomration out of someone who is paid to provide customer "service" but doesn't really care about the customer's needs and desires.
Two years ago, basic telephone service fluctuated between $36-$37 per month.
No regional; no long distance; no caller id; no call waiting, etc.
Verizon is making every effort possible to eliminate copper wires with the
blessing of the FCC. When you do call CSR, be prepared for the FIOS sales
pitch. Good luck!
