Everything you need to know about hair loss Marie Nieuwoudt, a Group Education Manager at CLOUD NINE told Fabulous everything you need to know regarding hair loss. What are the common causes of hair loss? Marie explained: "There are so many reasons why someone may face hair loss. "The number one reason is usually hormonal changes or underlying health conditions (like thyroid conditions), and stress of course also plays a big part in changes to your hair health. "But another very common day-to-day cause is excessive damage to your hair created by mistakes in your styling routines – and this a big one to be aware of for people who are regularly applying heat to their hair! "It's important to know the right temperature for your hair type when using styling tools, as this is essential in reducing unintentional heat damage. "I also see a lot of people facing hair loss resulting from hereditary conditions, which are passed down from generation to generation." What are the best hairstyles people should try to reduce their hair loss? According to Marie: "Less is more when it comes to hair loss! It's important to be gentle with your hair, so a low-maintenance style that limits pulling on your scalp will be your best option. "Putting your hair up in a tight ponytail or adding hair clips can cause stress points at the roots. "Instead, try leaving your hair down, or out. "You're not limited in your options, but it pays to be intentional with your hair styling. Using tools which limit damage to your hair is vital. "Discussing your concerns with a hairdresser or hair loss specialist is also a great way to find styles that suit your specific needs, whilst still making sure you look and feel your best." How long does it take for hair loss to stop? If you're itching to know when your hair will grow back, Marie confirmed: "Hair loss is a personal journey – and it's different for everyone, so it's very difficult to put exact timings on this process. "Every head of hair is unique, and so too is your hair loss experience. "As always, you can speak to a professional hairdresser or trichologist about your specific concerns and hair changes, and they'll be able to help you manage those expectations. "I can't emphasise enough how important it is to be kind to your hair. Most people treat their hair quite roughly, and this is something you definitely want to avoid when dealing with hair loss in particular. "Make sure you're choosing products and styling routines that you know are good for your hair, rather than causing additional damage."

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma showcases state's electronics potential at national investors' meet in Delhi
NEW DELHI: Assam chief minister on Monday projected Assam as India's next big growth hub at the inaugural session of the Assam Electronics Round Table 2025 in New Delhi on Monday. He invited global and national electronics investors to capitalise on the State's robust infrastructure, strategic location, and favourable policies. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The CM said that compared to Semiconductor Fabrication Facility (Fab) in Gujarat, the OSAT in Jagiroad, Assam is way ahead as 'it is in advanced stage with production of 48 million chips daily expected this year'. Sarma also met union civil aviation minister, Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu and discussed expanding air connectivity and infrastructure in the Northeast Region. The union minister assured Sarma that work for Silchar's greenfield airport will begin this year and the crucial Rupsi airport will also be expanded. "Assam is central to the Northeast Region and to India's Act East Policy, given its proximity to Bhutan and Bangladesh,' Sarma said, underlining the State's growing economic clout and highlighting its consistent 13–15% GSDP growth over the past decade, excluding the pandemic years. The CM said that compared to Semiconductor Fabrication Facility (Fab) in Gujarat, the OSAT in Jagiroad, Assam is way ahead as 'it is in advanced stage with production of 48 million chips daily expected this year'. 'Unlike the Fab in Gujarat, our OSAT is already in advanced stages,' Sarma stated, adding that the Chief Secretary visits the site every 15 days to monitor progress. The State has already attracted Rs 5.30 lakh crore worth of investment proposals during Investors' Summit 2.0, with Rs 1.5 lakh crore grounded so far. Sarma announced upcoming projects including three satellite townships and 11 five-star hotels, along with a new terminal at Guwahati airport.

Advanced Energy Industries Inc (AEIS) Q1 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Strong Revenue Growth ...
Release Date: April 30, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Advanced Energy Industries Inc (NASDAQ:AEIS) reported a 24% year-over-year increase in revenue, driven by strong performance in data center computing and semiconductor sectors. The company achieved a gross margin of 37.9%, which was better than expected due to improvements in operational efficiency and favorable product mix. AEIS is experiencing strong demand for its new products, with significant traction in the semiconductor market, particularly for its Evos, Everest, and Navex products. The company has a diversified manufacturing footprint, which helps mitigate the impact of tariffs and optimize production to meet customer needs. AEIS has a strong balance sheet, enabling it to pursue strategic acquisitions and invest in capacity and capability for growth. Industrial and medical revenue declined by 16% sequentially and 23% year-over-year, primarily due to ongoing inventory destocking and weaker demand. The company faces macroeconomic uncertainty and potential impacts from new tariffs, which could affect the pace of recovery in certain markets. Visibility into the second half of the year is limited, with potential challenges in maintaining growth momentum amid economic uncertainties. Operating expenses are expected to increase due to investments in new products and annual merit increases, which could impact profitability. The industrial and medical segment continues to face challenges, with a need for potential acquisitions to gain critical mass and improve performance. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with AEIS. Q: Are you projecting a flat WFE (Wafer Fab Equipment) market, and how does your 10% growth outlook compare? A: We estimate WFE to be up 0-5% this year. Our projected 10% growth is above market due to factors like increased edge and depth intensity in leading-edge processes, strong traction of new products, and significant presence in logic and DRAM areas. - Steve Kelly, President and CEO Q: Can you provide insights on the potential tariff impact in the second half of the year? A: Most of our sales are to large companies that manage tariff issues themselves. Our exposure is mainly in industrial medical, with products built in Mexico and the Philippines. Many products are USMCA compliant, minimizing tariff impact. - Steve Kelly, President and CEO Q: What are the plans for improving the Industrial and Medical (I&M) segment, and is an acquisition necessary? A: Short-term, the I&M market is still recovering from excess inventories. Long-term, we aim to gain share through sole-source business and new design wins. Acquisitions are likely in I&M due to its fragmented market and sole-source positions. - Steve Kelly, President and CEO Q: How do you view the potential for high-volume production of Evos and Everest products? A: High-volume production will significantly exceed current levels. We've seeded the market with qualification units, and as they qualify, production ramps will start, increasing both unit and dollar market share. - Steve Kelly, President and CEO Q: What is the outlook for data center growth, and can you meet higher demand? A: We have strong visibility for 2025 with solid forecasts. We're increasing CapEx to support high-power requirements, positioning us to capitalize on higher volumes. - Paul Odom, Executive Vice President and CFO For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

I get sent £5k worth of FREE clothes every year but these are the 6 items I spend my money on as Fab's Fashion Editor
Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend reveals the bargain jeans she's got in three colours, the must-buy white Tee & summer sandals that DON'T rub TOP BUYS I get sent £5k worth of FREE clothes every year but these are the 6 items I spend my money on as Fab's Fashion Editor Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GETTING sent free stuff isn't all it's cracked up to be. I know, that does sound crass, but hear me out. 8 After nearly two decades of working in fashion, Clemmie Fieldsend knows what's worth spending on and, more importantly, what isn't At Fabulous HQ we are fortunate enough to be sent clothes, shoes and accessories as a part of our job. This is how we test and figure out what pieces are actually good, what you should buy and what you shouldn't invest in. We have a whole room full to the brim of samples of clothes we use for photo shoots, which lights up the eyes of every woman who walks past. It's not as pristine as The Devil Wears Prada but we try our best. Would I shell out £60 for a T-shirt? Absolutely not. Should we all be buying £200 trainers? No, it's a rip off When colleagues ask where all the clothes end up the glint in their eye quickly fades when they find out they are returned to brands who sent them. But I always explain: "No one has enough room in their house for all this stuff - or the need." When I first started interning at 18, I too was overwhelmed by all the clothes, shoes, accessories and jewellery that would pile up in the office week after week. But by being surrounded by everything a teenager could ever want, I quickly learnt what I didn't. Now, at 34, I'm a neat freak and I'm quite strict on what I do and don't have in my wardrobe. So when it comes to the thousands of pounds worth of freebies - I get sent about £5,000 worth of stuff I can keep every year - I give 90 per cent away to other people in the office or family members. Fabulous Fashion teams sneak preview of new season M&S Also, as a chunk of my job is essentially window shopping, I have to remind myself of what I would actually want to spend my money on. Would I shell out £60 for a T-shirt? Absolutely not. Should we all be buying £200 trainers? No, it's a rip off. But these are the six things I do spend my own, hard earned cash on - and so should you. 1. THE JEANS I'VE GOT IN THREE COLOURS 8 Gap jeans are Clemmie's new go-to Credit: GAP You can pretty much guarantee that any given day I'll be in jeans. And over the years I've tried pairs from bargain styles from Primark to designer styles like 7 For All Mankind, and now my go-to brand is Gap. I rediscovered Gap after living in their jeans as a teen, then in my mid-twenties but fell out of love with them when they closed stores 2021. For a feature I went back to Gap to see if I could fall in love with their denim again - and I did. I now have the barrel jean, £55, from them in indigo blue, pale blue and white. They're only slightly barrelled - not too bow-legged looking that they're frightening - and have a real secure feel to them which I also prefer in my denim. I always think, I don't want to try and find the perfect fit for them to stretch out and then look wrong, so fingers crossed this pair doesn't do that. I get so many compliments on them and strangers ask me where they're from - they're the best. 8 Clemmie has Gap's barrel-shape jeans in three different colours Credit: Lorna Roache 2. THE BOTTOM-OF-THE-BAG SUNGLASSES I have sunglasses for under £20 that I mindlessly throw in my handbag and get bent out of shape or scratched, and I've had designer pairs that come with a posh case that's too clunky to carry around all day. Entre Le Specs, or as I call them, my bottom-of-the-bag sunglasses. They're by no means cheap, with prices ranging from £45 to £120, but they are really durable and stylish. I have aviator, round and cat eye styles that I love, look designer and manage to stay in good nick amongst the other essentials in my handbag. 8 Sunglasses brand Le Specs can take a battering and still stay in good condition Credit: Le Specs 3. THE OUTERWEAR THAT'S WORTH THE MONEY Much to the annoyance of the people who sit near me at work, I often bang on about coats and jackets and how a lot don't function as coats and jackets. So many outerwear pieces aren't even waterproof - and we live in Britain where it rains a lot. What's the point in paying anything from £30 - £200 for a coat that doesn't actually function as a coat? It drives me nuts. For outwear that is practical and stylish I go to Uniqlo. For tailored blazers, trench coats and puffer jackets that really keep you warm they're the best. Well made, long lasting and just a bit cooler than everyone else. The 'Puffertech relaxed jacket' gets the most wear. The diamond quilted design is filled with a down alternative that traps warmth but is still lightweight and it's coated in a water-repellent substance so rain just runs off it. I have it in black and khaki and wear them all the time but for nearly £60 it's on the expensive side but you'll get tonnes of wear out of them. 8 Uniqlo's diamond quilted design is filled with a down alternative that traps warmth but is still lightweight Credit: UNIQLO 4. BARGAIN TRAINERS THAT ARE COMFY & LAST In recent years the cost of trainers has skyrocketed and it angers me. Around 2010 I remember shelling out £60 or £70 for Adidas Stan Smiths, the 'it' trainer of the day, and feeling like it was such an expensive purchase for someone who hadn't worn trainers since year 9 P.E. lessons. Fast forward to now and Adidas, New Balance and Nike trainers can fetch upwards of £90 to £335. What are we all doing? They're not the trainers for running or the gym, they're 'fashion' trainers. I find Sambas are the most aggravating trainer. Their flatter than flat sole with zero cushioning hurts after a long day of walking the length and breadth of Oxford Street and the tongue digs into your ankle. For me, it's got to be M&S. They've developed their own technologies such as Insolia which is a genius and comfortable sole that, they say, "ensures your foot is correctly placed within your shoes, and improves the natural rotational movement of the ball of the foot". I have a plain style because I want them to be simple and go with absolutely everything, they're £25 and I've had them for roughly three years, and only bought new ones because I wore out my other pair. Other trend-led styles start from £39.50, like their Onitsuka Tiger dupes that will save you £110, which is a bargain for a well made, comfortable shoe that will last you years. 8 You can't go wrong with M&S 'Insolia' trainers Credit: MARKS & SPENCER Top Tips for Cleaning White Trainers A small amount of baking soda mixed with the laundry detergent can help brighten your trainers If your kickers have stubborn stains or are particularly dirty, you might need to repeat the cleaning process To maintain their shape while drying, stuff the trainers with newspaper or kitchen roll 5. THE NO-RUB SUMMER SANDALS I've had the same pair of summer sandals probably for about nine years, at a guess. And before them I had a pair from the same brand that I always wore for comfort, price and of course longevity - and they are both from Havaianas. My first pair were the 'Brazil' pair in white with green and yellow detailing, but avoid these. White and sun cream don't go hand in hand when walking around, and white doesn't look good after a day strolling around London. Despite their mucky appearance I couldn't let go - they were just so comfy and were like wearing a lighter-than-air slipper. Then, for holidays at the beach, to dinner in the evening, or in the UK with jeans or even tailoring I wear black Havaianas Slim, £30. They have thousands of colours and styles and collaborations and you can guarantee they'll last you years and be comfortable. 8 For comfort and durability, it has to be Havaianas Credit: HAVAIANAS 6. THE WHITE TEE THAT WILL KEEP ITS COLOUR & SHAPE Along with jeans, I live in plain white T-Shirts, the majority of which are round neck. I've been long committed to M&S and their T-Shirts and keep a couple on rotation throughout the week - but the best are from Cos. Now, for £30, you might think that's too much but if you're wearing them and washing them as much as I do - you need a good one and this is the best. Firstly, it's in the shape of a T so the sleeves are the correct length, about two inches above the elbow, and the body of the top isn't clingy or baggy, it's just straight. The round neck is ribbed so it holds its shape, it washes really well and is back to good as new at 30 degrees. It's also 100 per cent cotton making it soft which adds to its longevity. It comes in 14 different colours and prints and is a constant big seller for the brand.
