The work of preparing Kenya Standards is normally carried out through national technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. National organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with KEBS, also take part in the work. Kenya Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the KS ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare National Standards. Draft Kenya Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the technical committee members for balloting. Publication as a Kenya Standard requires approval by at least 2/3 of the members casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. KEBS shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This Kenya Standard was prepared by Technical Committee KEBS/TC 140, Beauty Services. A hair weave is human or artificial hair utilized for the integration with one's natural hair. Weaves can alter one's appearance for long or short periods of time by adding further hair to one's natural hair or by covering the natural hair all together with human or synthetic hairpieces. Weaving additional human or synthetic pieces can enhance one's hair by giving it volume, length and adding color without the damage of chemicals or adopting a different hair texture than that of their own. However, hair loss can occur either along the front hairline or above the ears due to the wearing of specific hair styles for a prolonged period of time, such as weaves. Such hair loss in known as traction alopecia. While the first edition was restrictive to synthetic hair, this edition expands the scope to include both the natural hair as well as natural human hair. Being a trade document, traders found it easy to circumvent the former edition hence sold synthetic hair extensions as natural human hair. The current edition takes cognizance of this and has included test methods to differentiate synthetic hair from natural human hair. In the development of this standard, assistance has been derived from US 1532, Synthetic Hair Extensions - Specification This assistance is hereby acknowledged. © KEBS 2018 — All rights reserved iv KENYA STANDARD CD 15/SERV/2013 Hair extensions — Specification 1 Scope This Kenya Standard specifies the requirements and methods of test for hair extensions for use on humans 2 Terms and definitions 2.1 wigs artificial covering of synthetic hair worn on the head for personal adornment as, part of a costume, or to conceal baldness.

  • The Stamp Act Crisis (1765)
    Click Print on your browser to print the article. Close this window to return to the ANB Online. Adams, John (19 Oct. 1735-4 July 1826), second president of the United States, diplomat, and political theorist, was born in Braintree (now Quincy), Massachusetts, the son of John Adams (1691-1760), a shoemaker, selectman, and deacon, and Susanna Boylston. He claimed as a young man to have indulged in "a constant dissipation among amusements," such as swimming, fishing, and especially shooting, and wished to be a farmer. However, his father insisted that he follow in the footsteps of his uncle Joseph Adams, attend Harvard College, and become a clergyman. John consented, applied himself to his studies, and developed a passion for learning but refused to become a minister. He felt little love for "frigid John Calvin" and the rigid moral standards expected of New England Congregationalist ministers. John Adams. After a painting by Gilbert Stuart. Adams was also ambitious to make more of a figure than could Courtesy of the Library of Congress (LC- USZ62-13002 DLC). be expected in the local pulpits. So despite the disadvantages of becoming a lawyer, "fumbling and racking amidst the rubbish of writs . pleas, ejectments" and often fomenting "more quarrels than he composes," enriching "himself at the expense of impoverishing others more honest and deserving," Adams fixed on the law as an avenue to "glory" through obtaining "the more important offices of the State." Even in his youth, Adams was aware he possessed a "vanity," which he sought to sublimate in public service: "Reputation ought to be the perpetual subject of my thoughts, and the aim of my behaviour." Adams began reading law with attorney James Putnam in Worcester immediately after graduation from Harvard College in 1755.

Our student-driven curriculum actively engages students in their own exciting and enriching learning process. This program will instill in students the realization that sacrifice, coopera- tion, and determination are necessary attributes for seeking justice and liberty, as evidenced by the Adams family. The American Revolution was one of the most daring popular movements in modern history. The colonists were challenging one of the most powerful nations in the world. Americans were facing what appeared to be insurmountable odds. While the story of the Revolution's battles, political debates, and confrontations are much studied, the impact of the war on individual families is sometimes overlooked. This program will examine the effects of war and military occupation on American patriot families. Two families, the Adamses and the Reveres, were committed to the revolutionary cause and their con- tributions took hardy tolls upon their family lives. John Adams and Paul Revere had such profound influence on the movement for American independence because they had families who shared their beliefs and who would, despite great personal risk, unselfishly give them advice, moral support, and love throughout the struggle.

  • Electric Wigs Handout by Janice Gartin and Tara Maginnis
    Evil Mutant Fairy Plastics 5 : Electric Wigs By Janice Gartin & Tara Maginnis Important Points about Big Weird Wigs: #1 Remember a wig is not real hair, so you can use spray paint to color it, you can sew hair down over rats instead of just pinning it, and you can spike it with glitter glue, or silicone tub caulk, and use hot glue to stick wires and other things in it. #2 Always work with your wig pinned to a foam or wood head in the most stretched-out position. Never let your hairdressing shrink the wig size. You want your wig to cover the hair easily, and fit well enough to not fall off. #3 No matter how big your wig/headdress, you want to keep it as light as possible, so look for ways to add your bulk without adding weight: Styrofoam, backcombing, inflatables, wire frames, paper, buckram shapes, toilet paper rolls, etc. #4 Keep your electric switches for any lights, fans or servomotors accessible. #5 If you are having problems making your wig defy gravity, you can work with it, and let it dry, upside-down. Use glue mixed with water 50/50 as hair spray if you have to. There is no such thing as too much hairspray, or glue, or spray-glue. #6 You can cut and sew both the hair on your wigs, and the actual wig caps/parts themselves. Essentially you can “Frankenstein“-together parts of several cheap wigs to make larger, multi-color, or multi- textur e wigs. #7 While high quality wigs are great for making your wig look like normal hair in the real world, cheap costume wigs are your best choice for big sculptural wigs.

Douglas Justice Douglas wrote those lines twenty-five years ago during a time when the nation and the court were examining the right of the state to control the appearance and actions of individuals purposefully attempting to flaunt social conventions about gender, race, and status through both action and physical appearance.' Nothing symbolized the struggle more than the long flowing tresses of white youths identified with the hippie movement 2 or the large "Afro" hairstyles of prominent African-American radical activists like Angela Davis.
