QR kóðar - endalausir möguleikar - hér notað fyrir Kevin Murphy

QR codes, or Quick Response Codes, is a technology created by a Japanese corporation in 1994. Kevin Murphy is using QR codes to provide hairstylists  with quick and easy access to information on our website.
The code can be linked to a page on our website or to a specific podcast.
HOW DO I USE THIS THING? Hairstylists or clients with a camera phone equipped with a QR code reader application, (this can be downloaded as an app) can scan the image of the QR code found on our kits and other literature, causing the phone’s browser to automatically launch and redirect to the programmed URL on our site.
It’s easy: You don’t have to remember a URL, you don’t have to remember to type it correctly, and it’s instantaneous and automatic. Never has access to information been so quick and so easy.
>>To make use of this new technology you will need a camera phone and a compatible QR code reader application. Just visit the app store!

Líkamsstærðir !

Figures reveal that given the choice, most men will plump for a curvy girl

FELLAS, read no further. In the area of new information, this story is slim.
There has been a survey and it tells you what you already know: when it comes to women, the vast majority of blokes prefer them well rounded.
It seems their ideal girlfriends are pneumatic, not flat-tyred. They'd rather negotiate sweeping curves than sharp shoulders.
They like women buxom, bosomy and bountiful.
According to the figures, the jury is in: men will choose a Rubenesque size 14 over a stick-figure size 8 when it comes to their ideal woman.
Admittedly, the science could be seen as somewhat superficial.
It is based on an online survey — not the most accurate means of obtaining information — of 60,000 men conducted by laddish men's magazine FHM. The relevant issue is published tomorrow. The mag found that when shown pictures of three bikini-clad models, four out of five men said they were more attracted to the size 12 and size 14 models than the model who was a slimmer size 8.
The majority of votes went to the size 12 woman, with 41% saying that she had the body shape of their "ideal girlfriend". Almost as many men voted for the Nigella Lawson-esque size 14 model.
"A piddling 20% of readers selected our size eight model pictured as their ideal girl-physique," wrote FHM editor Ben Smithurst.
"Which proves one thing, ladies: crack a beer, hoe into a hamburger and we'll love you just as much." Or maybe even more.
Body image experts take a less superficial view of the so-called research, but admit that it carries some, well, weight.
Professor Marika Tiggemann from Flinders University said that the results supported academic research on the topic. "We find women want to be thinner than what men find attractive," she said. "Men's idea of what is 'thin' is larger than that of women. Unfortunately, a lot of people think being thin demonstrates being in control or being disciplined, while being fat is a sign you're weak."
The editor of women's magazine Cleo, Nedahl Stelio, said that most women did not diet for men but for other women.
"Most men I know would go for more boob over thinner thighs, but women, by nature, are competitive with other women," Stelio said.
"And if the society and celebrity ideal is thin, that's what she's going to aspire to, just to get one up on other women."
However, such surveys were far more damaging to women than they were helpful, according to Julie Thomson, general manager of eating disorders and body image campaigners the Butterfly Foundation.
"It objectifies women and it still is perpetuating this ideal that men do look at women externally only," Ms Thomson said.
"There is just far too much importance placed on size when you should be looking at a whole range of other aspects.
"From our perspective as an eating disorder foundation, those sorts of surveys are an issue because they are centred around judging people based on what size they are and it is a really unhealthy way to judge or view people."
She said that women embarked on extreme diets or developed eating disorders for a number of reasons, and it was oversimplistic to attribute such behaviour to a bid to appeal to the opposite sex.
"People develop eating disorders for a wide variety of reasons, including low self-esteem and family history of depressive illness," she said.
"It is very, very complex and it is certainly not just brought about because some people desire to be thin in some sort of effort to attract men."
