Not Worth Using High Heels Regularly

Scientists have found that use of high heels can cause permanent change in the way women walk. Further, regular use of high heels can increase their risk of strain injuries.

 Researchers said that frequent use of high heels can cause the muscles in the feet to become fixed in a flexed manner, even after the heels have been taken off. 

When high heels are used regularly, it can cut short the fibers in the calf muscles of women and alter the position of joints and muscles in the feet. 

It is best that women avoid using high heels on a regular basis.

Money can have the same effect on the brain as using drugs

According to research, making money can cause chemical changes in the brain leading to addiction! For some personality types, money is as addicting as cocaine is. When you pick a career for the shear financial profit of it, each year’s amount becomes the floor that you must succeed from.

Psychologists showed that the exhilarating feelings of earning more and more for those who earn high amounts of money have chemical changes happening in their brain that makes them addicted to it.

Applying Ultrasound on Testicles Could Play Role of Temporary Contraceptive

A new study published in the journal Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology suggests that applying ultrasound to testicles could be an easy method of contraception since it temporarily destroys the germ cells that produce the sperms.
Researchers from University of North Carolina tested the technique on rats and found that applying a three megahertz high frequency ultrasound beam around the rats’ testicles for a period of 15 minutes reduced the number of sperms to below 10 million sperm per milliliter. In humans, a man is considered to be infertile when his sperm count is below 15 million per milliliter. 

The researchers said that the technique produces temporary infertility in men which can be reversed later on. However they admitted that more studies need to take place on the subject in order to ascertain how long the effect lasts and whether it is safe to apply the beam again and again. 

“Further studies are required to determine how long the contraceptive effect lasts and if it is safe to use multiple times”, lead researcher Dr James Tsuruta said.

In America, lipstick was originally made from an extract of ground-up insects and was applied with a brush.

In the late 19th century, lipstick was made from carmine dye, an extract of mashed up insects. At this time, the wearing of lipstick was considered to be fairly taboo unless the person happened to be an actor or actress. 

However, using the word "lipstick" is probably a misnomer since lip coloring during this era was sold in tinted papers or paper tubes. The more convenient push-up tubes that we are familiar with were not made available until about 1915!
