Hair loss affects millions globally, and the desire to restore balding spots on a scalp full of dense hair is understandable. However, prioritizing affordability over quality can lead to detrimental consequences. In this educational video, Dr John Watts — a noted dermatologist, trichologist and hair transplant surgeon in Hyderabad — explains the hazards of falling into the trap of low-cost hair transplants that are often masked with misleading claims and hidden costs. He lists out the adverse consequences of such traps. He also lists out the ethical and professional considerations for successful hair restoration, emphasizing the importance of choosing a qualified surgeon for optimal results. Marketing campaigns often promote “cheap and best” hair transplants, enticing patients with seemingly budget-friendly solutions. However, this approach can be misleading. While a small percentage might achieve satisfactory results at a lower cost, such outcomes are not guaranteed for everyone. Furthermore, the “cheap and best” narrative focus solely on the initial price, neglecting the potential for hidden costs and long-term complications associated with low-cost procedures. Risks: Low-Cost Hair Transplants Several factors contribute to the dangers of opting for a low-cost hair transplant. They include: Unqualified Personnel: Facilities offering bargain-basement prices often employ inexperienced or unlicensed practitioners, lacking the expertise and training crucial for successful hair transplantation. This can result in improper extraction and implantation techniques, leading to unnatural hairlines, uneven distribution, and permanent scarring. Hidden Costs: The initial price tag of a low-cost hair transplant is rarely the final expense. Complications arising from poor technique, such as infection, shock loss (permanent hair loss in the transplanted area), or poor hair growth, often necessitate corrective surgeries. These subsequent procedures can be significantly costlier than opting for a qualified surgeon upfront. Compromised Safety: Cutting corners on surgical equipment, sterilization practices, and overall hygiene in low-cost clinics poses a significant health risk. Potential consequences include infections, allergic reactions, and even life-threatening complications due to the use of unsterilized equipment or recycling of the surgical equipment to lower cost. Investing in Quality: Long-Term Benefits Optimal Results: Experienced surgeons utilize advanced techniques and meticulous planning to achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results. This translates to a higher success rate and reduced risk of complications. Safety and Well-being: Reputable clinics prioritize patient safety and adhere to the highest hygiene standards. This minimizes the risk of infection and ensures your well-being throughout the procedure. The right way to choose a Hair Transplant Surgeon & Centre: Hair transplantation is a significant investment, and choosing the right surgeon is crucial. While affordability is a consideration, prioritizing quality ultimately ensures a successful outcome that enhances your appearance and self-confidence. Scrutinize Credentials: Verify the surgeon's board certifications and research their experience in hair transplantation. Look for a proven track record and positive patient testimonials. Beware of Marketing Gimmicks: Be wary of phrases like “limited-time offers” or “free PRP sessions.” Focus on the surgeon's expertise and the clinic's reputation rather than solely on price. Schedule Consultations: Schedule consultations with multiple clinics to compare options and ask questions. This allows you to make an informed decision based on your individual needs and expectations.

Education leaders, school business officials and practitioners continue to confront a full plate of difficult and time-sensitive decisions. How can we reflect on and improve practices and approaches for making those decisions to better serve students? In this episode, host Jason Willis and special guest Alex Jacobson from WestEd explore how good decisions in our school systems that lead to successful outcomes for all students are in part contingent on the ways in which people make those decisions. As part of this exploration, we'll look through the frame of what's known as System 1 and System 2 thinking – and discuss how education leaders can begin to apply some of what the research tells us to strengthen approaches to decision making, both individually and organizationally.ABOUT OUR GUESTAlex Jacobson is a Senior Research Associate with the Comprehensive School Assistance Program at WestEd.

This weeks guests are Jose and Daniel Gonzalez. These two brothers run Preferred Flooring in Grand Rapids, Michigan. For years they ran their business with paying their workers via a 1099. In 2015 after some advice from a larger company they subbed from all of their employees were moved to getting W-2s and being on payroll. This switch came with some huge considerations. Daniel and Jose took pay cuts, labor for projects had an increase, and not every employee was happy about it.

A METHODOLOGY TO ESTIMATE INDIRECT COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH A POSSIBLE OUTBREAK OF TADs IN SWITZERLAND V Muñoz-Gómez1, G. Savioli2,3, B. Vosough Ahmadi4, M. Schuppers11 SAFOSO AG, Waldeggstrasse 1, CH-3097 Liebefeld, Switzerland2 Veterinary Public Health Institute (VPHI), Schwarzenburgstrasse 161, CH-3097 Liebefeld, Switzerland 3 Swiss Armed Forces, Competence Centre for Veterinary Services and Army Animals, Caserne Sand CH-3000 Bern, Switzerland4 The European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (EuFMD), Viale delle Terme di Caracalla, 00153 Rome, ItalyIntroductionAfrican swine fever (ASF) is a transboundary animal disease associated with high economic, trade and food security relevance. While direct costs of outbreaks of transboundary animal diseases are often well understood, little information is available about indirect and/or consequential costs of control measures. In this study, a spreadsheet model was developed to estimate the indirect consequential costs of ASF in domestic pigs and wild boars, considering different outbreak scenarios in Switzerland.Materials and methodsFirst, qualitative interviews were conducted with international stakeholders to identify the sectors that may be indirectly affected by an ASF outbreak and how this impact can be characterized. Various outbreak scenarios in domestic pigs and wild boar were defined, and Swiss stakeholders were interviewed to gather data on the economic impacts in these scenarios. Finally, a cost-calculator model was used to estimate the indirect costs of an ASF outbreak in Switzerland and a decision-tree model was used to analyse various scenarios given incursion probabilities.ResultsInterviews with international stakeholders demonstrated that actors beyond the pig value chain were also indirectly affected by ASF, including, for example, the timber industry, agricultural insurance companies and feed crop producers. Important drivers for indirect costs in Switzerland were consumer demand, slaughter restrictions and biosecurity requirements.DiscussionThe findings demonstrate that the impact of an ASF outbreak will be felt well beyond the pig farms directly affected. Changes in consumer demand will impact the entire pig value chain. Furthermore, certain measures, including biosecurity measures (e.g. compulsory indoor housing) or transport restrictions for healthy pigs may lead to significant indirect consequential costs throughout the value chain. It is crucial for all stakeholders to be informed about the emergency measures that will be taken in an outbreak and their consequences to enable them to prepare for and mitigate their impacts.

Medical Treatment And Costs Associated With COVID - 19

The Moneywise Guys Friday, January 17th www.MoneywiseGuys.com  

In this episode, we discuss the additional costs you will face as an Airbnb property investor. These include all the utilities you need to cover e.g. water, power, internet. You'd also expect to pay for consumables like salt and pepper, shampoo, milk (all the creature comforts guests expect). Property management is also more hands-on, which leads to higher costs. Management fees are also higher. Long term rental management fees are 7-10% of gross yield. Airbnbs will range from 20-30% of the net yield. Property investors will also need to furnish the property to a high standard including items to make the property homely e.g. coffee table books. And depending on where the property is located, you may be subjected to higher rates. In Auckland, rates can be as much as 3x higher than a standard tenancy. This is the final episode in this round of podcasts where we are joined by Jon Lawry from Urban Butler. In the show, Jon mentioned that he has an ebook detailing the 5 things that every Airbnb host needs to know. To access that free ebook fo to the Urban Butler website

Is it worth it to invest in a rental property? The answer is yes, but only if you’ve looked at the numbers first.Looking to sell a home in Jupiter? Click here for a Home Price EvaluationLooking to buy a home in Jupiter? Click here to perform a full home searchJust today, I took three calls about rental properties. Two of those calls were from individuals who aren’t making the money they need to cover rental costs, and the other call from someone who wanted to look into buying a rental property.When it comes to rental properties, it’s all about the numbers. This house isn’t your primary residence, so it doesn’t necessarily matter what the house looks like. You need to be paying attention to the costs associated with this potential rental property. When determining how much it will cost to run this property effectively and still make an income, you need to pay attention to additional costs besides the mortgage payment—like taxes, HOA fees, insurance, and other maintenance fees. You should also be including your vacancy rate when determining your bottom line, because your property probably won’t be rented every month out of the year.Another thing to consider is if you’re going to run the property yourself or have a Realtor put it on the market to find renters for it. If you’re contracting a third party, you have to consider the cost of that as well. Make sure you have money set aside in your account each month to cover the cost of unexpected repairs.Are you budgeting money towards repairs? You need to make sure that you have a certain amount of money set aside in your account each month that will take care of any repairs if something breaks. In the end, after you add everything up, you’ll be able to figure out your yearly net income. You take the total cost of your operating expenses, minus your gross income, and that will give you your net earnings for the year. In order for it to be worth the costs associated with it, your property should have a rental yield of 5% to 6% yearly.If you have any questions about rental properties, how it works, and finding the correct numbers for a specific property, please give me a call. I can sit down with you and break everything down so it’s easy to understand and you can determine if this rental property is worth your time and money.If you have any other questions or you’re looking to buy or sell a home in our area, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d be happy to help!
