You are here again? You did not get bored every time you have a hard time coming like a wet dog and asking for what ...

A little attention, a little care.

That's enough!

Εvery time you believe that its others fault.

You cant understand that its pointless to find out who is to blame, it will not make you a better person, look for a way to fix things around you without disowning your responsibilities.

So much afraid of the unfamiliar one. You fear the idea of change and you are comfortable with something moderate.

Pity..

I kept on you in a different way, you were a person determined and ready at all times to accept the consequences of your actions with your head up..

I was happy for you, you had witty eyes and a stunning look, and they came down indolently.. You have fallen into lethargy .. Wake up!

You have fallen into lethargy .. Wake up!

You had the pleasure of creating, running, shouting as much as you could, even in the period without work, you were with the smile and the confidence that everything would be better.

Now .. now you are afraid, you are even afraid of the thought that there is hope, το stir up your irritating calm waters.

You are dealing with others troubles to forget about yours .. You stick to the miserable TV you havent thrown yet.

Look around you, leave your phone aside, you have a world full of flowers and colors.

Why are you still choosing Gray?

How to Self Bleach Hair? + Korean Hair Color & Style Trend 2018 | Q2HAN Qtalk #6 - Duration: 16:05.

Oh right!

Captain, could you please introduce yourself?

'You can simply say 'Hi' as well lol

Be ready to be shocked!

She bleached her hair by herself at home and ended up burning her hair..:(

If you do that to your customers, that won't be good, right?!

Of course lol

But she colored her hair on top of those burnt hair 0_0

Can she restore her hair?

Unfortunately, no :(

Look how her hair just breaks off so easily

I feel so bad for her T.T

Captain has nothing to say but laugh lol

It's like an elastic band

It's like she is pulling off a gum

You don't have to pull those hair off with force like that

because it will eventually fall off by itself within a week

What are those blisters?

I think he burnt his scalp, causing an inflammation

OMG..!!

Do you recommend bleaching your own hair at home similar to how they did?

Nope

Because when you get your hair bleached by professionals, they make sure the bleach chemicals don't touch your scalp

They make sure the hair bleach are applied on your hair as safe and less damaging as possible

and then evaluate how it's turning out to determine to continue to bleach more or not

However, when you are bleaching your own hair

you may be able to apply the bleach around the front section of your head without touching your scalp

However, it's very difficult to apply the bleach in a way so that it does not touch the scalp at the back of your head

Also, we just saw how that guy had blisters all around his scalp, right?!

That's the result when the bleach touches your scalp

He said he let the bleach sit for 40 minutes

That's not good

At a salon, if you bleached your hair 2 to 3 times, the bleach around your scalp should be left for maximum 10~15 minutes only

We do not let it sit for more than that

For me, I bleached my hair by myself when I was very young

and now I don't have hair around my forehead hairline

The hair color trend for this year is 'ash' and 'sepia ash' color

This 'ash' color has a slight violet shade into it

To get this stage of color, you'll have to bleach your hair for about 2 times

The right side color has been dyed into ash color without bleaching

This lady's hair color is ash color without bleaching

Many people go for this color these days

Also, ash brown color is very popular as well

If you bleach your hair, the grey color will be more prominent

What color does customers usually ask you to do?

Many ask for ash color scheme

8 out of 10 people ask for ash color

and 2 out of 10 ask for red color

Red color?

Yup

What was the most craziest (?) color you've ever dyed to your customer?

I've dyed customer's hair into 5~6 different colors

Like a rainbow? / Yup

Usually people with freelance job or unemployed customers ask for those type of hairstyle

Why though?

I'm not sure about in America, but in Korea it's hard to get a job with rainbow hair color, even in a fashion industry

Even fashion models can't easily go for that hair color

But I see Irene doing many colorful hair

She is a special case because her colorful hair has become her signature look

She now changes her hair color very frequently as well

Yeah, many people now know her for her hair color

Another rising hair color trend in Korea these days is blond, just like yours

For real?! / Yup

Even actress Han Ye-seul recently dyed her hair into a blond

So many people are following that color as well

What are these days haircut trend?

Bob hairstyle is on trend

This type of hairstyle is also on trend

It looks very feminine

This hairstyle is more trendy in Korea

This type of layered hairstyle can make your face look smaller so many people call this type of hairstyle, a 'Face extinct' hairstyle lol

Oh, cause it makes your face look so small

The layering starts from the jawline, so it really makes your face looks smaller

The layers help to hide your jawline

Bob hairstyle is geared towards a slight c-curl

Customers from Europe prefers this type of bob hairstyle

But unlike this photo, they prefer the hair to be slightly longer towards the front

You have many foreign customers as well

Yup yup

Are the hairstyles that foreign customers ask differ greatly from Korean customers?

It's very different

Many Korean customers prefers feminine type of hairstyle

Oh, like innocent hairstyle? / Yup

It's a type of hairstyle where you will wear floral dress with lol

On the other hand, many European customers ask for natural hairstyle

Isn't see-through bang haircut also a trend?

that's been in trend for very long time

Yes!

But these days, bangs are less see-through

today, bangs show less forehead and are slightly more heavy

So the trend is becoming less see-through

This lady also have a see-through bang

But you can use a hairdryer to throw your bangs towards back, just like this

I'm not sure in America, but in Korea such 'hippie perm' hairstyle is popular as well

Is this hairstyle still on trend? / Yup, very much!

It became more popular because of Sulli

For those who have round face should have a volume centered at the top of their head

But, those with long face should have a volume around the side of their face

Therefore, foreign customers prefer volume around the side of their face

volume at top would make their face look longer

But when I accidentally put more volume at the top of their head, their face expression suddenly changes.. lol

they hesitate telling me (too kind)

Just like this kind of face

They say it's pretty, but their expression doesn't say the same... lol

At first, it was hard to catch and understand their expression

But now, through their expression I can read everything! lol

never have your face and hair color tone be the same

Or else, there's no distinction between your hair and face, which can make your face look larger

Therefore, for people with yellow skin tone should avoid yellow color scheme

Also, reddish skin should avoid red color scheme (It's pretty much self explanatory)

For those with pale skin, avoid blue color scheme

For those with pale or bright skin goes well with red or purple color scheme

and yellow skin tone should avoid yellow color but go with blue or ash color scheme

and with dark skin, you have to choose the color depending on whether you are going with your skin tone that has been brighten up using a makeup or simply go with you natural skin color

However, if you are mostly in your bare face, I wouldn't recommend colorful colors but go for more natural colors

Or, you can go for a blond color as well

because the blond color can brighten up your complexion

For me, when you dyed my hair into ginger blond color, my skin complexion looked so much brighter!

I would recommend to have your friends or family help you when bleaching your own hair (don't do it alone)

Because, although it may be easy to bleach the front portion of your hair by yourself without touching your scalp

the top and back portion of the hair is very difficult to bleach by yourself without possibly burning your scalp, just like the previous video

severe scalp burn could lead you to hospital

When you purchase hair bleach, it comes with a powder and a developer

and developer comes in various level of percentage

The higher the percentage, the stronger the bleach is going to be

If you want to bleach your hair safely, I would recommend 3% developer

Starting with a lower percentage is safer because if your hair hasn't bleached thoroughly, you can always bleach it again

However, let's say you used 9% developer and let it sit for 40 minutes...

Then your hair will start coming off in chunks

how long should we bleach?

about 20~30 minutes

How many times?

People have either red or yellow melanin in their hair

Usually, asians have red melanin hair and their natural hair color is around 4~5 level

With one bleach, they will end up with level 15~16 hair color

If they want to dye their hair into grey or blue, they'll have to bleach several times more

If they dye their hair into blue at this level, because they still have 'red' melanin, it'll end up with green color instead

so they need several more bleaching done

But westerners usually have yellow melanin and their natural hair color is around 15~16 level so they don't need to bleach too many times to get blue hair

I heard that when you bleach your hair, don't start bleaching from the top of your hair but start from the bottom and work your way up

Can you explain why?

It's to minimize any damage to your scalp

Because bleach is essentially made of chemicals, it reacts to heat, such as the heat on your scalp

So if you start applying from the top of your head the bleach reacts more faster then the bottom portion, which you'll end up with more lighter color at the top portion of your head

So do you also recommend to apply from the bottom and work your way up? / YES!

I believe hair manicure lasts longer

That's true

But during my first week, the color comes out extremely a lot

The difference between hairdye and hair manicure is...

When you dye your hair, essentially the dye seeps into your hair

However, hair manicure is very similar to nail art

You are just applying at the surface of your hair

Then how can hair manicure lasts longer than a hairdye?

Hair manicure is more like a coating

So coating lasts longer than actually seeping in? / Yes

Pretend we are looking at a fading hair color that has been treated with a manicure using a microscope

The color is actually not 'fading' but 'falling off' from the hair

so manicure is less damaging to your hair?

Although it may be safer than the hair dye at first, if you repeat it several time, it can be more damaging than the hair dye

That's because when the manicure falls off from your hair, your hair cuticles fall off together

ohh......

It's very similar to nail polish. If you repeat removing and applying nail polish several times at once, your nails start to look very dry and chipped

If you don't dye your hair too often, I would recommend going with a hair manicure

but if you dye your hair frequently, I recommend going with a hair dye

the best way is to not to bleach around your scalp at all

Just think as if the first day you bleached your hair will be the hair that you'll have 2~3 weeks after your first bleach

I had a customer who had a very dark skin tone

And she wanted to go for a very bright neon blue hair color

Wow

So I asked her "Why do you want to go for that color? Because I think natural hair color will suit you much better"

Then I found out that she was planning to go to the Big Bang concert

ohh so she wanted the members to notice her from the color of her bright hair?!

EXACTLY LOL

She wanted to show that hair color to TOP

At that time, TOP also had a blue neon hair color

Although the color didn't suit the her skin tone, I think she will be safe when walking around the street at night lol

Because her hair is so bright, anyone will be able to see her at night haha

If the damage is too severe, it's best to invest on good hair care treatment products

but, if the damage is not too severe, the 'method' of how you use certain product is very important

Many people apply the treatment and wash it off immediately

but it takes at least 5~10 minutes for the treatment to seep into the hair

Thus, investing just 5~10 minutes of your time and then washing it off would make a huge difference on your hair

Are there certain hair colors that you feel like it's your best work?

Oh, you mean my name?!

The thing is, I don't really look like Korean

I actually studied about hair in Japan

at there, many of my Japanese friends asked me if I'm mixed-blood

Many of them thought I was half Hispanic

My real name is Kyung-Yong

Kyung-Young? / Yup

When I started my profession as a hairstylist in Korea, I wanted a name that can stand out rather than "Kyung-Yong"

So, since I look like half Hispanic, I went with the name 'Jose'

Then people started teasing me saying that I'm a Tequila LOL

So to make my name sound more softer I added 'O' in the middle of Jose and it's now pronounced 'Housae"

I don't personally drink a lot but I really enjoy Tequila and tacos

I also really like Mexico, which led me to visiting Cancun Island

But the main reason why I went to Cancun Island was because of unlimited free Tequila LOL

After dividing your hair into three sections, if you curl the bottom layer it becomes too short

Therefore, we will only curl the bottom outward

Just like this!

This way, the bottom layer does not become too short compared to the rest of the top layer

This way we can create much natural wavy hair

We'll start putting wave at the top layers, just like this

Can we do this by ourselves as well? / Yup

If you've used curling irons several times, this will be easy peasy

If you want a more natural wave, give outward-curl for the bottom layer, then curl the top layers together only once

But for her hair, I curled the top layers twice instead of once

This wave is slightly more curly than natural wave

This is a very easy hairstyle that you can do it at home within 10 minutes

I really like the distinction in the hair color

That's true! It almost look like I did like this on purpose

It's similar to my hair where the inner part is black but the braids are in brown lol

Self-awareness is key to self-sufficiency at this job training program - Duration: 7:53.

JUDY WOODRUFF: If you are poor in America, you likely know it's a condition that can

create a cycle of struggle that lasts generations.

As John Yang reports, to break that trend, it is not just a matter of finding a good

job, but also keeping it.

And new challenges can arise by having a steady paycheck.

This story is part of our Chasing the Dream series on poverty and opportunity.

JOHN YANG: At a job training and coaching program in Chicago called Cara, every morning

begins with something called Motivations.

Their goal?

To ring that bell, a signal that they have gotten a job.

Last October, Mariel Corona first sought help at Cara, which means friend in Gaelic.

At first, she didn't think it was a good fit.

MARIEL CORONA, Cara Participant: I was kind of sitting there and thinking, what the hell

is going on?

Why are people clapping?

Why are people thinking?

What does this have to do with job search?

What does this have to do a professional development?

JOHN YANG: Now that you have been through it, What does it have to do with job placement

or professional development?

MARIEL CORONA: Everything.

It was -- transformations is what we go through the first four weeks of the Cara program.

And it basically all begins with the motivations.

It's pretty much working yourself from the inside out.

That has had such a positive impact on my family.

My life took on a new beginning.

JOHN YANG: For most of the people at Cara, getting a job can be a new beginning.

Unlike Corona, many have battled addictions or been in prison.

Despite their differences, she found a common struggle.

MARIEL CORONA: We're all in the same boat as far as fixing yourself up and repairing

yourself from the inside out, that we have all had -- life throws a curveball to all

of us, and maybe we didn't know how to cope or how to deal with it or just didn't want

to overcome it.

JOHN YANG: In her former job as a university administrator, Corona began going to work

late and missing days altogether as she dealt with a family issue.

She ended up getting fired, filling her with self-doubt.

MARIEL CORONA: When I was terminated, that was just like a punch in the gut.

I just felt like a failure.

I had never been terminated from any position before.

I was pretty much a rock star in my jobs.

JOHN YANG: And I imagine that that can't be a very good place to be looking a job.

If you're not feeling good about yourself, you can't make a prospective employer feel

good about you.

MARIEL CORONA: Exactly.

You can't sell yourself, you know, because you're just selling a bunch of lies.

You know, you're saying, oh, I'm very confident, I'm outgoing.

And, no, you're not.

You know, it's just -- it's just on the surface.

JOHN YANG: Now she's had three job interviews.

On this day, she prepared for another one with a coach.

She's regained her confidence and refreshed skills like resume building and time management.

Most in the program are looking for their first permanent job.

For them, Cara specializes in finding transitional jobs, entry-level positions to give them not

only specific skills and work experience and a paycheck, but also the personal attributes

they will need to hold a long-term job, what are called soft skills, like time management

and handling conflicts with co-workers.

There are similar programs in 25 other states.

It's an idea that goes back to the Great Depression, when the New Deal Works Progress Administration,

known as the WPA, hired the unemployed to build the country's infrastructure.

Shovel-ready was the term President Obama used during the recession that began in 2008,

infrastructure projects ready to go.

Now it's seen as part of the solution to helping people facing the biggest hurdles to landing

a job, a criminal background or a spotty employment record.

Cara helps with both.

The idea is, if a person can hold down a job for one year, they can find a job elsewhere.

Their success rate?

About 70 percent.

The organization says that's higher than retention rates nationally.

Maria Kim is the president and CEO of Cara.

What's the bigger challenge, getting the job or holding the job for a year?

MARIA KIM, President and CEO, Cara: You know, I really think it's keeping the job over the

long term.

Our focus in that first year of employment is combating all of the challenges that might

come in the way, a housing situation going awry, child care going awry.

Might -- the negative actors in your life might emerge in a new way and tempt you again.

You know we really need to be able to combat those new challenges.

JOHN YANG: And so you take a very broad view of preparing someone for a job.

MARIA KIM: We think of skills like love and forgiveness and conflict resolution as actually

the harder skills.

Others might think, oh, these things that you're talking about, time management, your

self-esteem, all that stuff, those are the soft skills.

We think of them as the harder skills, because if we can navigate those, than the rest of

things become a little bit easier.

JOHN YANG: How common is this sort of holistic approach?

MARIA KIM: You know, we could always use more.

Right?

There are 600,000 people living below the poverty line in the greater Chicagoland area,

just to give you a sense of the need here.

But where the money is coming from for us is from private investors, private philanthropy,

but also our own social enterprises.

So, we own and operate our own for-profit businesses that help not just generate revenue,

but create jobs for our folks as well.

JOHN YANG: Those business, a street cleaning service and a temp staffing agency, are the

first destination for many of the people who go to Cara.

They also generate about 42 percent of the organization's budget.

Emmett Hasey lives in a modest studio apartment with his wife of five months.

They met at a Christian recovery mission.

He spent more than a third of his 58 years in prison.

He's overcome drug and alcohol addiction and has been clean and sober since 2010.

EMMETT HASEY, Cara Participant: I know that I didn't have to do things wrong to achieve

the things that I want to achieve in life.

And what I want to achieve in life is three things, food, clothes, and shelter.

That's all I want, food, clothes, and shelter.

Now, if I can get that, I'm happy.

I'm happy with that.

JOHN YANG: He has all three, and found love on top of it.

EMMETT HASEY: When I go to work, I just love just to look up in the clouds and look at

the scenery.

There's a lot of beautiful things if you keep your head up in the sky.

JOHN YANG: Hasey works for one of Cara's biggest partners, the Chicago Transit Authority's

Second Chance Program.

People with troubled pasts work a year cleaning buses and trains.

Since 2011, about 250 participants have been hired by the CTA into full-time jobs such

as train and bus operators.

Some have even risen into management.

EMMETT HASEY: What I gained from Cara is the opportunity.

The opportunity changed my life.

But you have to be able to prepare yourself, and you have to be able to be available to

do the things that you need to be doing.

They're an opportunity, but then you got to do the full work.

If I keep just doing what I'm doing, in the end, something positive is going to come.

JOHN YANG: It's hope for many people like Hasey who are trying to get back on their

feet.

Combined with good wages and social safety nets, transitional jobs like these are seen

as keys to helping people get out of poverty and ring that bell of success.

For the "PBS NewsHour," I'm John Yang in Chicago.

"Her self esteem has increased... her academics have increased" - Duration: 1:58.

- Basically, my seven year old was strugglin' in school,

and we had struggled from the time we entered school,

and had tried everything.

We'd been to psychologists, on anxiety medicine,

a lot of different things goin' on with her,

and so finally one night,

really late on Facebook,

an article popped up on vision therapy,

and I was like, hey, what is this?

As I read it, I was like this is my child.

So, I called my regular eye doctor,

and he got me in touch with Dr. Megan,

and we came and it has been an eye opening experience.

I'm an educator myself,

so to come in here and see

how children have been being diagnosed

with things like ADHD and anxiety,

it's probably not that or couldn't be that,

maybe not that.

It could be a vision problem has been real eye opening.

My Maddy, has spent 12 weeks in therapy,

and she has seen a lot of great success.

She was skippin' lines when reading

and I didn't even know that

until after we got started in therapy,

and she was like, hey mom, guess what?

I don't skip likes anymore,

and I was like, I didn't know you were skippin' lines

because I can't see through her eyes.

I can remember the day we came in,

the very first day and Dr. Megan

said you may not need anxiety medication after this,

and luckily we're a little past 12 weeks

and we are no longer on anxiety medication.

Her self esteem has increased, her academics have increased.

We still got a long way to go,

cause there's other things we need to work on,

but as a mom, first I would tell you to not always

just take the first person's point of view

as to what may be goin' on with your child,

whether it's your teacher or their principal,

or even your friends, you know,

dig a little deeper and get to the bottom of it

because it has definitely, definitely been worth it.

Trump Honors Fallen Soldiers On Memorial Day With Self-Congratulatory Tweet - Duration: 1:53.

Trump Honors Fallen Soldiers On Memorial Day With Self-Congratulatory Tweet

President Donald Trump paid tribute to fallen soldiers on Memorial Day with a tweet applauding the state of the country under his administration.

Trump praised the current unemployment rate for African-Americans and Hispanics, as well as the "best economy in decades" ― two areas that began steadily improving under the Obama administration.

"Those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today," Trump tweeted Monday.

"Nice!".    .

Hours earlier, Trump tweeted a nearly minute-long video commemorating the federal holiday.

He is expected later Monday to participate in a Memorial Day wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

″I know that everybody is remembering the fallen soldiers who have paid the ultimate price for our country, and it's a country that we all love," Trump said in the video.

"As Americans, we come together to remember our great heroes on this Memorial Day.".

DaSy Self Assessment Comparison Tool - Duration: 5:02.

Welcome to the introduction to the ECTA/DaSy framework self-assessment

comparison tool. This guide will help you to navigate the comparison tool after

you perform the ECTA/DaSy framework self-assessment. If you

haven't completed that yet, it's recommended you either do so or view the

tutorial on how to use the self-assessment. The comparison tool is

used to quickly compare quality indicator and element ratings over time

and it's easy to use. This introduction covers the basics of what you need to

know. The guidance document provides detailed step-by-step instructions which

are also found on the instructions tab in this file. Use of the comparison tool

relies on access to self assessment data for at least one component or

subcomponents across at least two points in time.

Before you begin, you should get a few things ready. The first important thing

before you begin is to make sure you have two completed self assessments for

the same components for at least two points in time. Be sure to check that the

ratings of each of the components are complete.

Also, make sure that the dates of completion for each component you will

compare are entered in the corresponding self-assessment file.

The second important thing is to ensure that your self-assessment files follow

the proper naming convention, which allows the comparison tool to access and

use them. You'll find the format for your self-assessment Excel files in the

second step of the instructions tab. You will need to designate which

self-assessment is Time One, which is Time Two and so on. In addition, the

comparison tool itself must be named correctly.

Once you're ready, open the comparison tool as well as each of the

self-assessment files you wish to compare. All of the files have to be open

in order for the comparison tool to function. They can be located anywhere,

not necessarily in the same folder, so long as they are all open and named

correctly while you use the comparison tool. As with the self assessment, the

first thing you'll want to do after opening the comparison tool is enable

macros. Depending on your version of Excel, your method of enabling macros may

differ; check the instructions tab for more details.

You'll notice that the comparison tool is laid out similarly to the

self-assessment, with a table of contents and tabs you can use to navigate through

the tool. Most of the work in using the comparison tool is done in the import

panel. You will NOT be entering any data directly into the tool; instead you'll

use the import tool to bring in data from your other self-assessment files.

Select a component to begin importing data. For practice, let's use Quality

Standards, QS. You can compare ratings for up to three time points. The

comparison tool pulls the different dates as well as the quality indicator

main element ratings from the designated components. Select QS/T1 (Quality

Standards, Time 1) and the data will be brought into the comparison tool.

Priority ratings for each of the quality indicators and/or elements will also be

imported if they are available.

Return to the import panel to import Time 2 ratings. Use the QS/T2 button to

import the elements and ratings from your second Quality Standards

self-assessment. Navigating to the QS tab in the comparison tool shows you

that both the T1 and T2 columns are filled.

Repeat the process for importing Quality Standards ratings from Time 3, if

available. The data you've imported not only show up in each respective column,

but are also color-coded and graphed in the top right corner of the comparison

tool. If you'd like a closer look at the graph, you can use the Hide and Show

Elements buttons to collapse or expand the sub components. Collapsing the data

elements gives more room to display the graph. Once you've imported the data, it's

very easy to copy and paste the data and/or graph into another documents, for

example, for a narrative reports.

For a more comprehensive comparison, there is also a way to import data for

multiple components all at once for time 1, 2, or 3. Select the "All" button

found at the bottom of each Time column to bring all of the data from every

completed components into the comparison tool. This may take up to a few minutes

in order to import all of the data and you will have to import each time point

of self assessment data individually. That's all it takes! You can take these

steps with any self assessment components you would like to compare or

analyze.
