In this bonus episode of Brow Education, Megs discusses the chemicals used in brow lamination and their effects on the hair. She explains the different types of chemicals, their active ingredients, and how they work to soften and open the cuticle of the hair shaft. Megs also talks about delivery systems, irritants, and the importance of choosing the right solution based on the client's hair type and skin sensitivity. She then goes into detail about the pH level adjustment in step two and the nourishing effects of step three. Finally, Megs addresses the issue of hair lightening during lamination and offers tips for fixing any unwanted color changes. Takeaways: There are different types of chemicals used in brow lamination, including Cysteamine HCL (hydrochloride) and ATG (ammonium thioglycolate). The choice of solution depends on the client's hair type and skin sensitivity, with ATG being more suitable for coarse or thick hair and cysteamine HCL being gentler and better for thinner hair types. Delivery systems, such as Aloe Vera, can be used to provide hydration and minimize the drying effects of the chemicals. Step two of the lamination process involves adjusting the pH level of the hair to bring it back to the acidic side, which is healthier for the hair and skin. After the lamination process, it is important to nourish the hair with keratin treatments or vitamin treatments to restore moisture and strengthen the hair. Hair lightening can occur during the lamination process due to the alkaline nature of the chemicals used. This can be fixed by applying tint or using caution when tinting the hair. Overall, brow lamination is a versatile treatment that can be customized based on the client's needs and desired results.

Lukas Furtenbach, a major mountaineering expedition guide company and is now a top supplier of supplemental oxygen systems to all teams climbing Everest.  He partnered with Neil Greenwood of Summit Oxygen to create Everest Oxygen focusing on supplying supplemental oxygen to the mountaineering industry. His Austrian-based Furtenbach Adventures offer global climbs, including most of the 8000-meter mountains, the Seven Summits, the Volcanic Seven Summits, and Ski Mountaineering. However, they have made a name for themselves with their "Flash Expeditions," which takes only three weeks to climb Everest, compared to the classic style, which takes six to eight weeks. One of his secrets is using an altitude tent, aka a hypoxia chamber, that acclimatizes his clients to 7,00 meters (23,000 feet) at home. This reduces the number of rotations required before the summit push and reduces the overall time spent at base camp.  It's not really a secret as anyone can rent or buy a tent, and other companies like Alpenglow out of Lake Tahoe, California, also specialize in rapid expeditions. However, Furtenback's team out of Innsabruk closely monitors their client's progress over the eight weeks they sleep in the tent, making daily changes to optimize the process. Lukas is also investing in advanced technology to remotely monitor his customer's health while climbing and evolving the oxygen regulator, the brains of the system that manages flow rates, to allow for an unprecedented eight liters per minute (lpm) flow. He only uses this high flow rate for short sections, for example, on the Hillary Step, to allow the climber to move faster. Otherwise, they run at today's traditional two, four and six lpm rate. In this Podcast, we explore the evolution of using supplemental oxygen, Lukas's approach and several other Everest topics. We cover:  2:24 - The Chinese closure of Everest for the past four years, and will they open in Autumn for 8000ers?  4:45  - Will COVID be a factor for Everest 2023?  5:55 - Furtenbach Adventures Carbon Neutral approach to mountaineering 10:02 - Climbing Everest in three weeks vs. six to eight weeks 11:35 - Pre-acclimatizing at home using altitude tents 22:13 - The history of altitude tents (In France in the late 1970s) 25:52 - Is using supplemental oxygen cheating? 29:54 - Everest Oxygen supplies systems to other teams 30:04 -  Understanding the Oxygen Delivery System 47:22 - Types of Delivery Systems 52:14 - Remote Monitoring of a Climber's Health 56:17 - Everest 2023 Predictions They will update their ⁠social media, ⁠Facebook⁠, Twitter, and  ⁠Instagram⁠, throughout the expedition.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Joshua Frank, muckraking journalist extraordinaire and editor at Counterpunch, joins us to discuss his new book Atomic Days: The Untold Story of the Most Toxic Place in America. Joshua tells the story of the Hanford, Washington's struggles with radioactive waste (which has led it to be dubbed "the most toxic place in America" by the EPA) and how, at a cost of $677 billion, became the most expensive environmental clean-up job in the in the entire world. Waste from the Hanford Nuclear Reservation has led to contamination of the Columbia River and the land surrounding the reservation as well. Fish were found with radioactivity. The soil has been contaminated. And a single accident at Hanford could lead to explosive problems that, arguably, would amount to an American Chernobyl. How did this all happen? We delve into how capitalism, imperialism, militarism, and racism fit into this tragic story and the ways in which contractors like Bechtel have perpetrated what Joshua refers to as a "profit-driven fraud". Additionally, Joshua and I discuss the wrecking of Native American cultures and lands in relation to this story; the courageous whistleblowers who spoke about Hanford radioactive waste; the role of militarism, the Cold War, and big business in the story of Hanford; the left-wing anti-nuclear movement, criticisms of it from climate change/environmentalist activists/authors like George Monbiot, and Frank's response to those criticisms; the connection between nuclear energy, nuclear weapons, and the weapons industry; why the late actress Margot Kidder (Lois Lane in the Christopher Reeves-starring Superman movies) received a special thanks at the end of the book; the poisoning of Hanford workers like Abe Garza; Hanford whistleblower Ed Bricker and the attempt to silence him through monitoring, harassment, and intimidation (including what Bricker's lawyer Tom Carpenter referred to as an attempt to kill Bricker); Donald Alexander, a chemist (specifically) a chemist who worked at Hanford and had concern about the site's waste treatment plan; the whistleblowing of Dr. Walter Tamosaitis, former Deputy Chief Process Engineer and Research & Technology Manager for the Waste Treatment Plant (WTP) at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation; the politics of the Hanford whistleblowers (they were not left-wing radicals; some were even rather conservative); Frank Russo, one of the villains of the story, and the Department of Energy; the secrecy of Bechtel; why the issues with Bechtel were not just a result of "a few bad apples" but something more systemic and structural; the "Green Run" covert military experiment in 1949 which involved the intentional release of radioactive material into the atmosphere (and thus onto the unsuspecting public); "The Quiet Warrior" Russell Jim, the Yakama Nation, and resistance to American militarism's role in Hanford; Hanford within the context of the Cold War and the importance of that in light of the potential new Cold War between the U.S. and China; the U.S. military machine as the biggest polluter in the world; and more! In the shorter second segment of the show, Yint Hmu of Win Without War joins us to discuss his article in The Hill entitled "A new nuclear weapons delivery system is the last thing the US needs". Yint explains the potential problems with the nuclear-armed sea-launched cruise missile (SLCM-N) and its origins. Additionally, Yint discusses the mission and purpose of Win Without War, which seeks to promote a progressive vision of U.S. foreign policy, and it's importance in an age of conflicts like the Russia/Ukraine war and the possibility of nuclear weapons being used in 21st century conflicts. All that and much more with guest Yint Hmu of Win Without War.
