See how quickly a society can shift its sexual attitudes At TEDGlobal 2013, Shereen El Feki shared how her research in the Middle East revealed more conservative attitudes about sex than existed in the 10th century. Photo: James Duncan Davidson “The political and the sexual are intimate bedfellows,” says Shereen El Feki in yesterday’s talk. Shereen El Feki: A little-told tale of sex and sensualityFor five years, El Feki talked to people across Middle East about their bedroom behavior, and what she found over and over was a seemingly deep-rooted conservatism — in which any sex outside of heterosexual marriage is unacceptable. So what happened? Where: The United StatesWhen: The 1920sWhat changed: The Jazz Age in American life is mythologized as something of a decade-long party — and it isn’t a bad way of thinking of the economic and political factors that aligned to allow sexual expression at a level not imagined a decade before.

Haircuts by Face Shape: Round Heart Full cheeks, a round chin and heart-like cheekbones are the trademarks of this cherub-like face shape. Since you are all sexy curves, your best strategy is to add the angular movement of layers to balance your features out. “Layers are the best friend of a round face shape,” says Guido, YouBeauty Hair Advisor. “There is so much you can do with layers to customize a look that works perfectly for you, to emphasize the contours of your face that could otherwise get lost in a sea of hair,” he adds. QUIZ: What's Your Face Shape? If you have straight or wavy hair Straight and wavy strands tend to fall against the face, which means your hair will take on the round heart shape of your face if layers aren’t present. Longer hair lengths that fall below the chin are the easiest to pull off with style, since gravity will do the work of pulling hair into a fuller bottom position that balances out features. If you have curly hair If you have highly textured hair MORE: Celebrities with heart face shapes

Why is communication so hard? Why does communication break down after marriage? Often, the answer lies in emotions. Before marriage we felt one over-powering emotion . . . love. But now the emotions of hurt, anger, disappointment, and fear often dominate. These emotions do not encourage us to communicate. We speak out of our anger and create even more negative feelings. Why is communication so important in a relationship? Likewise, when we reveal ourselves to another, and they listen and reciprocate, we can build an intimate relationship with that person.

TEDTALKS LEGENDADO-Aparência não é tudo. Acreditem, sou modelo. 5 Guaranteed Ways to Get Your Partner to Lie to You | Lesli Doares There’s a famous scene in the movie, A Few Good Men, where Jack Nicholson arrogantly tells Tom Cruise, “You can’t handle the truth.” When you ask your partner to be honest with you, would they echo Jack’s response? If the answer is yes, you are missing a crucial ingredient for successfully implementing radical honesty in your relationship. If you can’t handle the truth, how can your partner provide it? Let’s face it, you probably don’t have much difficulty hearing the positive statements your partner makes about you. The problem is with the criticism, disappointments, and annoyances they bring to your attention. Marriage is built on trust; and trust is built on honesty. 1. Instead of really listening to what your partner is saying, you defend your behavior. 2. You minimize your partner’s viewpoint. 3. You change the discussion to focus on your partner’s shortcomings. 4. You overlook the point of their position and focus on the details. 5. Related Posts:
Portfolio Performance: Investment Returns Calculator Investment Performance Calculator So, how's your portfolio doing? Most people have no idea (and quite a few would probably rather keep it that way) but if you're a glutton for reality, this calculator is here to serve. How Does it Work? Let's take a couple of examples to see how the method works. Example 1: First, assume your account grows from $1000 to $1200 in one year, and that you don't make any additions or withdrawals during that time. Example 2: Now for a more complicated example. ($150 growth) / ($1025 estimated average principal) = 0.1463 or 14.63 percent. See below (or one of the two links above) for a formula that you can write down or use in a spreadsheet. The Formula The estimate used in Example 2 is that $1025 grew by $150 Equivalently (but more confusingly!) $1025 grew to $1175 or ( Bstart + N / 2 ) grew to ( Bend - N / 2 ) where Bstart and Bend are the starting and ending balances, and N is the net additions minus withdrawals. r = [ ( Bstart + N / 2 ) / ( Bend - N / 2 ) ] 1/Y - 1
