According to the original newspaper account and the subsequent government investigation, staff and prisoners were scalping Chinese men in the morgue on demand since at least May 1906, and selling them to colonial officials.1 ‘Queues’ were also being taken from living Chinese prisoners.2 The one sold to the newspaper was traced back to the execution of two Chinese prisoners at Pretoria Jail.

  • Hair from You to Me Our Hair Criteria
    Hair from you to me Freedom Wigs is a company that specifically looks after those with long term extensive hairloss (mostly those with Alopecia Areata, Totalis and Universalis) and we handcraft a medical prosthesis or hairpiece that is specifically designed for those with extreme hair loss conditions. Here at Freedom we create hairpieces that are comfortable, secure, life like and life changing. We work hard to ensure that people who need our hairpiece have the most realistic and natural looking hairpiece possible but to do this we need 100% unprocessed virgin human hair and this is where you can help us to help change a life with just one ponytail from you. Our hair criteria We need your hair cut off ponytail or tails to be 14 inches or longer (longer is best). This is because we need as much length as possible to create new hair pieces of varying lengths for our clients for us the longer your hair is the better it is. We need your hair to be completely unprocessed. By this we mean NO colour or perming including colouring from henna dye. The reason for this is because it can take up to twenty ponytails to create just one hairpiece we absolutely can’t take any hair that will fade or change colouring after we have made it, or that has become weakened from colouring. Your hair must not include more than a few grey hairs however predominantly grey hair is accepted. If your hair contains the odd grey hairs in your ponytail (not salt & pepper) then that is absolutely fine but any more than that and we are unable to use the hair as again the hair is blended with so many other ponytails that we would have to pick out each individual grey hair to ensure that all of the hair was the same colour.

  • How to Do a Sock Bun
    How to do a Sock Bun Your child will need a Sock Bun for all performances, unless I tell you otherwise for a special hair style/specific dance. Supplies: A Donut/Bun. Different sizes are available, get one to match the size of your child’s head. You can use any bobby pins – I recommend BunHeads or these Conair ones I found at Walmart. It only takes a few to hold hair in place with these. Pony tail holders – to match your child’s hair color & Hair Spray. I recommend Aussie (purple can). 1) Start with a high ponytail on the CROWN of your head. Not in the back, and not on top. No fly away hair, use gel or hairspray. 2) Some will roll hair onto the donut from the top, I find this hard with long hair. You can do it anyway that you prefer- but make sure the bun is secure to the head and will not come off. Sometimes when you roll the hair down and secure with bobby pins – the bun ends up falling out. I am showing the other method – where you wrap the hair over the donut. Put the donut around the ponytail. 3) Lay one layer of hair over the donut and put a ponytail holder around it to secure it. 4) You can then wrap the hair around & use bobby pins to secure the hair. OR you can braid it. It is up to you if you wrap the hair or braid it, you cannot tell from stage that some girls have braids and some do not; and we will usually have a hair piece or bow to cover the braid.

The trained network reaches an accuracy of 28.10% when validated with images that were not used for training. This can be improved by trying different combinations of input variables, or using a different conversion for the values that were gained from the APIs. It is also possible that the APIs are not completely accurate. A third possibility for improvement would be to use a different learning algorithm, such as k-Nearest Neighbors or naive Bayes.

  • Female Pattern Hair Loss: a Clinical and Pathophysiological Review* Paulo Müller Ramos1 Hélio Amante Miot1
    REVIEW 529 ▲ Female Pattern Hair Loss: a clinical and pathophysiological review* Paulo Müller Ramos1 Hélio Amante Miot1 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/abd1806-4841.20153370 Abstract: Female Pattern Hair Loss or female androgenetic alopecia is the main cause of hair loss in adult women and has a major impact on patients’ quality of life. It evolves from the progressive miniaturization of follicles that lead to a subsequent decrease of the hair density, leading to a non-scarring diffuse alopecia, with characteristic clinical, dermoscopic and histological patterns. In spite of the high frequency of the disease and the relevance of its psychological impact, its pathogenesis is not yet fully understood, being infl uenced by genetic, hormonal and environmental factors. In addition, response to treatment is variable. In this article, authors discuss the main clinical, epidemiological and pathophysiological aspects of female pattern hair loss. Keywords: Alopecia; Androgens; Epidemiology; Hair; Hair Follicle; Miniaturization; Women INTRODUCTION Etymologically, the word “alopecia” comes (affecting mainly women) still causes confusion in its from the Greek ἀλώπηξ (alōpēx) , which means “fox”. nomenclature nowadays.5 It is an allusion to the constant hair loss suffered by Initially, the term “diffuse alopecia in women” these animals during life.

  • Hairstyling Module 1
    Hairstyling The Cultural Significance of Hair For humans, haircut, hairstyle, or hairdo normally describe cutting or styling head hair. Unlike other animals, human beings of many cultures cut their hair, rather than letting it grow naturally. Hair styles are often used to signal cultural, social, and ethnic identity. Men and women naturally have the same hair but generally hairstyles conform to cultural standards of gender. Hair styles in both men and women also vary with current fashion trends, and are often used to determine social status. There is a thriving world market in cut human hair of sufficient length for wig manufacture and for the production of training materials for student hairdressers and barbers. In less developed countries, selling one's hair can be a significant source of income — depending on length, thickness, condition, and color, wig makers have been known to pay as much as $40 for a head of hair. In the United States, cut hair of at least 10 inches (25 cm) length may be donated to a charity, such as Locks of Love. The remarkable head hair of humans has gained an important significance in nearly all present societies as well as any given historical period throughout the world. The haircut has always played a significant cultural and social role. © 2012 All Star Training, Inc. Page 1 • In the 17th century, Manchu invaders issued the Queue Order, requiring Chinese, who traditionally did not cut their hair, to shave their heads like Manchus. The Chinese resisted. Tens of thousands of people were killed due to their hairstyle.
