Although androgenic alopecia is linked with the presence of male sex hormones (androgens), its exact cause is unknown.  Male pattern baldness is caused by genetic predisposition and the main androgen believed to be associated with baldness is dihydrotestosterone (DHT).  Increased level of DHT in hair follicles is believed to shorten the hair's growth cycle and delay growth of new hair.  Over time, the hair follicles stop growing new hair; however, the follicles remain alive, suggesting that they may still be able to grow new hair. Minoxidil is an FDA approved topical treatment to treat male pattern baldness. It is a solution that stimulates the hair follicles to grow and is applied directly onto your scalp.  Minoxidil slows hair loss and some men experience growth of new hair. However, hair loss usually returns if the medication is stopped, so you must continue using minoxidil to continue to see results. Adverse events associated with Minoxidil include itching, skin rash, acne, burning, inflammation, and swelling.  Serious side effects that may indicate too much of the medication has absorbed to your body include blurred vision, chest pain, dizziness, fainting and irregular heartbeat. Finasteride (marketed under Propecia and Proscar) is an oral prescription pill and somewhat more effective than minoxidil. It works by binding to the enzyme that would otherwise convert free testosterone to DHT.  Finasteride slows hair loss as long as you take it. However, as soon as you discontinue therapy, hair loss typically returns within a year.  Side effects associated with finasteride include chills; cold sweats; confusion; dizziness; hives; swelling in the legs, arms and face; tingling; erectile dysfunction; decreased libido; and ejaculatory dysfunction; and weight gain. During a hair transplant, tiny patches of hair are moved from one part of your scalp to the balding area. Hair transplants are usually done during several sessions and although they can be expensive, the results are effective and permanent.   Before the procedure, you will receive local anesthesia to numb the scalp. During the procedure, a small section of a hairy scalp is removed (donor area) and the remaining skin is stitched together. Then, small groups of hair are carefully separated out from the donor area and inserted into the bald area.  Thousands of hairs may be transplanted during one session Hair transplants can cause scarring and bleeding, and there is a risk of infection.

summary: Understand how male pattern baldness works. Try Minoxidil (Rogaine). Ask your doctor if you should take finasteride. Get a hair transplant.

Your reasons to transfer will depend on your needs and goals. Sit down and ask yourself why you want to transfer. If your current school doesn't have a strong program in your area of interest, or your tuition and living expenses are too high, transferring may be a good idea. Or, perhaps the school isn't meeting your social or academic expectations. Avoid transferring to another school just because you feel homesick, or because you miss your romantic partner. If these are your main reasons, you may want to re-think your decision to transfer. Search for 2 to 3 schools that fit your criteria. Scope out the colleges’ websites and publications. While some schools may offer advice on transferring, others may not. If it doesn’t, the school may not be a transfer-friendly school, which will make it harder to get into. Narrow your list down to 1 or 2 schools.  When looking into colleges, investigate their cost, transfer rate, whether they offer a major in your area of interest, and the schools' academic and social environment. Due to the admissions process, you typically need to wait at least a full semester before you can attend your new school. At the meeting, let your advisor know that you want to transfer and why. Tell them which schools you want to transfer to. This way, they can give you more accurate information about which credits will transfer and which will not. Additionally, ask your advisor who you should talk to in your transfer schools' admissions, registrar, and financial aid office like a transfer admissions counselor.

summary: Identify why you want to transfer. Write out a list of what you want in a school. Email your current academic advisor to set up a meeting.

Not all routers support a USB connection. Most high-end routers offer USB functionality. If your router does not support USB functionality, you will need to purchase a print server to connect your printer to a network. If your router has a USB port, you can easily connect your printer to the router using the USB port. If you haven't already done so, plug the printer into an electrical outlet or power strip. Turn on the printer and wait 60 seconds for your router to recognize the printer. To enable print sharing on your router, open a web browser and type the router's IP address in the address bar (it's usually 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, or 10.0.0.1, or something similar). Then log in to your router. This takes you to the router's firmware settings screen. Look for the USB menu and enable USB printer support or Printer Server mode and then save your settings. Each router has a different firmware settings screen and login method. Consult the user's manual or technical support for your particular router to learn how to log in and enable Print sharing. Some routers may not support Print sharing. If you cannot locate print sharing, you may need to purchase an external print server. The Apple icon opens the Apple Menu. It's in the menu bar at the top of the screen. It's the second option in the Apple Menu. This opens the System Preferences screen. It's the icon that resembles a printer. It's below the box with the list of printers to the right of the "Printers & Scanners" window. It's the icon below a blue globe at the top of the window. The Address bar is the first line in the window. Use the same IP address you use to log in to your printer. The "Protocol" drop-down menu is below the address bar. Use the drop-down to select "Line Printer Daemon". Use the drop-down menu next to "Use" to select "Select Software". This displays a list of available printer software. Type your printer's brand name in the search bar that says "Filter". Then select your printer's model number in the list and click "Ok". It's in the lower-right corner of the "Add" window. This installs the Printer driver and allows you to add the printer so you can print wirelessly using your router. Repeat steps 5 -14 on any Mac computer on your network you wish to have access to your printer.


summary: Locate a USB port on your router. Connect the printer to the USB port on your router. Power on the printer and wait 60 seconds. Enable print sharing on your router. Click the Apple  icon. Click System Preferences. Click the Printers & Scanners icon. Click + to add a printer. Click the IP tab. Type the router's IP address next to "Address". Select "Line Printer Daemon" next to "Protocol". Select "Select Software" next to "Use". Select your printer's make and model and then click Ok. Click Add.
