Hair Loss: one of the most confounding conditions men and women have ever struggled with. People consider their hair as kings consider their crown; an important part of one’s identity, an important part of one’s self. Hair and hair loss are often considered as indicators of one’s youth. People tend to assume that hair loss only occurs to old individuals and though untrue they also often equate hair loss with aging. That is why people are always appalled whenever faced with the possibility of hair loss. Hence we often do whatever they can and believe whatever we hear just to make sure that we get to keep that precious hair of ours as thick and as healthy as can be.
The real causes of hair loss or alopecia, as it is clinically known, have already been explained by science, however, before we proceed to know the real causes of hair loss, let us first see and examine the prevalent myths about why hair loss occur in men.
Now, Myth Number One: We often see TV personalities and even some doctors say that stress makes your hair fall out! Although it is unclear whether stress coming from severe life events can cause alopecia, there are case reports indicating that this may be so. It is however very rare and frequently no cause can be found for severe and rapid developing alopecia. Patients who have suffered hair loss following a stressful event may still benefit from specific treatment to assist in hair re-growth.
Myth Number Two: We often hear that bad blood circulation starves the hair follicles which make them fall out. Although patients with poor blood circulation do not appear to be more likely to suffer from alopecia, tight fitting hats and wigs may cause hair loss in a very small minority of people. The mechanism is still unclear but if it occurs, this may be due to the impairment of blood flow in the scalp. That is why extreme care should be taken by alopecia sufferers who wear these garments on their heads.
Myth Number Three: when your hair is dirty it damages the hair and it falls out!
Just not true! The worst thing it may do is irritate your scalp and make your hair smell. How many times at school did you have dirty hair and get away with not washing it for a couple of days? Did you lose hair then? Of course not.
Myth Number Four: Shaving one’s head will cause the hair to grow back thicker. This is just not true. In fact, if you are suffering from androgenic alopecia, this will actually severely quicken your hair loss.
Myth Number Five: Dandruff causes permanent hair loss. This is simply not true. Dandruff is a condition of the scalp, not the hair. Dandruff occurs because of the excessive shedding of cells on your scalp skin. For dandruff sufferers, the natural process of scalp-cell renewal is accelerated when fighting off P. ovale, a normal fungus found on every human head.
Now what really causes androgenic alopecia or hair loss in men?
Now there are the DHT and the Androgen Receptors. Testosterone is an androgen hormone which is essential for the healthy development of the body and the maintenance of the secondary sexual differences we see between men and women. Testosterone is converted by an enzyme (namely, 5-alpha reductase) to form dihytestosterone or what we know as DHT. This conversion occurs in the peripheral tissues around the body and results in higher levels of DHT in the scalp and in the blood. Although the mechanisms are not quite clear, scientists believe that DHT is plays a major part in the development of androgenetic alopecia.
From puberty onwards, androgens interact with the genetically determined androgen-sensitive hair follicles, resulting in a sequence of events. This process includes gradual miniaturisation of the hair follicles, alteration of the hair growth cycle and eventually results in small thin hair follicles – hence, the patient will experience thinning and loss of hair. To alter the process and redress the balance of hair loss, products that inhibit DHT production, or interfere with the binding of the DHT, along with products that promote hair growth can be used.
When we have the situation detailed above our bodies react by considering these hair follicles as foreign objects that need to be dealt with! This is an auto-immune response. The body then rejects these hair follicles and this exacerbates the situation. Symptoms include itching scalp, tingling and inflammation of the scalp. You should consider the use of a shampoo that treats this irrespective of the hair loss solution you choose.
Hair loss in men or androgenic alopecia can be lessened and reduced, even stopped. All you need to do is know the right information about alopecia and do the right things to combat hair loss. There are lots of hair loss treatment medicines available out there; all you need to do is to know which one is the right one for you, depending on the extent of the hair loss. Remember, that the longer you wait to treat your hair loss, the harder it will be to achieve good results. So if you want to win this hair loss battle, stand up and do it now! The quicker you take action the easier it’s going to get.

History will place an asterisk next to A.I. as the film Stanley Kubrick might have directed.

Spielberg inherited the project (b…

New Developments in Precision Mechanical Manufacture
In Italy there are a lot of enterprises specialized in precision mechanical manufacture both at workmanship and mass production level.
Inside a precision machine shop you can find a large rolling stock set in order to produce the more variable pieces and to carry out different kind of processing, to guarantee every customer a product exactly corresponding to his needs, always of very good quality and at an absolutely competitive price.
Enterprises that deal with mechanical and automatic lathe processing are able to start just with the design of the object needed by the customer and finally get to the real practical construction of the specific product. Precision mechanical manufactures, precision mechanical machine shop, mechanical lathe and automatic lathe manufacture are nothing but different applications – big or small – of a work method. This method enables all these machines to realize specific products according to the specific needs of every customer, who are working in different application fields. That is why mechanical lathe and automatic lathe manufacture, precision mechanical manufacture and precision mechanical machine shop can always count on a large market sector and a great customer variety.
Regarding application fields, just think about food sector, medical sector, electric sector, automobile sector…there is a very wide range of application, it’s clear that is possible to realize very small products and full of details.
In this sector is fundamental to use the more innovative machines, to offer every customer the best care of details and the less waiting time.
One of the most important appointments of this mechanical sector is the Specialized Mechanic International Fair (MECSPE), which will take place from 19th to 21th March 2009, at Parma Expo. This edition, although during a not very positive economic conjuncture, is expected to be full of contents and new technologies for the sector enterprises. There are already more than a thousand Italian and foreign companies that have decided to join this event.
An important strong point is the presence of many areas dedicated to exhibitions where many enterprises concur to the realization, directly at the fair, of a manufactured product, transforming MECSPE in a real “open house”.
This is a very important aspect in mechanical industry, which is a world where innovations achieved thanks to R&D investments very often become strategic also for other industrial sectors than the one that requested the realization.
Compared to last year, the number of these “processing islands” has increased a lot, representing also very different fields, such as medical, dental, automotive, aerospace, precision mechanic, mechanic construction and mold sectors.
The ambitious project of these “processing islands” has been created from the experience of the historical demonstration unit “From project to object”, born to promote the meeting among design, innovation and technology. In this sector virtuous circles happen very often, thanks to a strong commitment to technology transfer. This is the case of titanium, a material mainly used in aerospace sector, that thanks to its characteristics, lightness and corrosion resistance, finds many uses in other fields, like race cars.
In a few words it’s an appointment not to miss for the more important enterprises, that want to be in the forefront and always market competitive, especially in a sector where innovation and efforts on R&D sector are constant.

Could I convert a Spyder E-MR1 to a mechanical MR1?
Call me crazy all you like, but I would prefer a mechanical gun. I play woodsball, and all the fields I play at don’t allow automatic. But the main factor is that I lost my charger. I know you can change it from mechanical to electronic, but does it work the other way around?
I’m pretty sure the only difference between the guns is the e grip. Find a friend that wants to upgrade his mechanical marker, and swap him grips. As simple as two screws. I don’t know if the mechanical grip is available as an upgrade like the e grip.
