from the editor HELLO SUMMER, GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN! Finally you are back, I have missed you so much – you look great! The sun is shining over Berlin’s sky and almost all over the world again! You can already even feel the slight sunburn on your skin! I have to admit I seriously love it with a passion to watch all the happy faces while walking on the streets during summertime! Of course this positive energy and love is impacting our present June issue 2016, too, that’s why we are going to show you how to enjoy a very state of the art and fashionable summer season! As flattering as good looks are, this issue sure is not about pleasant appearances only, but more about starting off your day with cheerfulness and spending it with positive influences. Having a closer look on my iPhone and its apps I started to realize, that I don’t really have any app, that is able to cheer me up right away – to be more precise not one app I enjoy using! I am even bored to death with Facebook and the other apps left, are more of a functional or business type of kind. So this is basically an affaire de coeur to check a few apps that actually are able to cheer us up. To me June’s most emotional and important topic is the upcoming ‘Peace X Peace’ festival in Berlin, which singer Fetsum brought to life. It truly was an honor to get to know this incredible artist! Working on this cover story and the interview with Fetsum definitely left its indelible mark on my team and me. Music surely is special and positive, it brings up any kinds of emotions, but to be able to create such a big festival in order to help people in need takes music to a whole new level! It simply makes me want to do my personal bit to support this event! With this in mind, I am looking forward to see as many music lovers as possible at the ‘Peace X Peace’ festival! Until then I am wishing you a bunch of sunny days and more important a ton of a good mood! Cheerz!

AJOURE MEN / STYLE
When it comes to men wearing handbags most of the people start to frown. Core of this Problem: This mystery is to blame on men not keeping up with evolution, of men still pretending like we are still living in the Stone Age. To get things straight in the first place, wearing a men handbag has nothing – seriously not even a tiny bit – to do with being less heterosexual or not.

A cosmopolitan man has already understood, that it simply doesn’t look right to stuff your wallet into the pockets of your pants. Further it also doesn’t look neat to squeeze your keys into your front pockets, because you make everybody wonder what it actually is in your pants, your keys or something else? By stowing away the keys and the wallet, we shouldn’t forget about our smartphones and as a smoker about our cigarettes… what’s a man supposed to do now? No matter what you try to do, it is simply going to screw your whole outfit. So referring to what you have just read, we were only mentioning functional disadvantages of not having a men handbag. So carrying a men handbag is an absolute savior of your styling!

Denim on denim has a cool and casual flair at the same time. A good fitted pair of straight leg jeans and a denim shirt are the basis for a nice double denim look. Especially choosing dark blue shades, which don’t have to have the same exact nuance, make your look become very edgy. A classical trench coat completes the picture in a stylish way. Rough boots or hiking shoes make a fashionable contrast.

The double denim look also works in the combination with rolled up skinny jeans and a jeans jacket. Wear a plain white shirt beneath. To complete the look go for a pair of cool ankle boots or boots to lace up and accessorizes you can adapt as you like, according to your own taste – get inspired by our street style and rock a knotted scarf or a hat. The red socks are also an eye catcher. To give your look an elegant touch you can combine a light jacket.

The game is showing you piano keys in quick succession and you have to catch them by touching your screen in regular intervals to make sure the music that is being created keeps sounding nice. Each touch on the screen equals one point and creates your highscore. Depending on how far you get, you will be given more songs you have to unlock.

Quicktime Player is a Ticking Time Bomb for Windows-User
Uninstalling QuickTime
When the uninstall is complete, some files can still remain in the system, especially in the registry where entries aren’t always automatically removed. While this isn’t a security risk, if you want to uninstall these files you can use a program like Geek Uninstaller, which automatically searches for all remaining software files and removes them quickly and safely. Oh No! I’ve Got QuickTime!

Apple’s QuickTime Player has some serious security problems. Two loopholes are already known and hackers could potentially use these to gain access to a computer. More loopholes could be found in the future. The problem is that Apple has stopped supporting the player on Windows operating systems. This means there will be no future patches when it comes to new security features and improving functionality.

QuickTime was also quite a common plugin for Mozilla’s Firefox browser but users don’t have to worry because the plugin was automatically disabled when the security issues were revealed and isn’t available to use anymore.
All Windows Users are Affected
QuickTime Player Alternatives As already mentioned, you don’t need to install QuickTime on a Windows system as there are other ways to achieve the same functions. If you still have the player, you’ll find there are other alternatives with the same functionality, if not better. The VLC Player is particularly good due to its integrated codec package and there’s hardly anything the software can’t handle. VLC can manage everything from popular MPEG files to quality MKV containers and old, outland-
Quicktime player’s security loopholes don’t affect just one version of Windows as all platforms are vulnerable. It doesn’t matter whether you’re using Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10, there’s still a significant security risk that you can overcome by uninstalling the player. Mac users aren’t affected. Quicktime player is still supported on OSX and any loopholes are regularly dealt with via updates, which isn’t surprising, because after all OSX is Apple’s own operating system.

For style-conscious users, the design of smartphones is an important purchasing consideration. Regardless of which model you choose, with either of the two you’ll get a real gem.

In terms of design, there’s nothing to choose between the two models. Both offer a successful design and look high-end. The same also applies to the workmanship, neither the HTC 10 nor the Apple iPhone 6S have any niggles to complain about. Likewise the pressure points on the keys are appropriate on both models.
More and more people want a large screen on their smartphone. This is definitely offered by the HTC 10 because the model has a screen diagonal of 5.2 inches. By contrast, the iPhone 6S by Apple is a much
handier offering. At a compact 4.7 inches, it is considerably smaller than the competitor. It’s not just the size, the resolution is also different. The HTC 10 ships with a WQHD resolution. This corresponds to a resolution of 2,560x1, 440 pixels, so that even when you look very closely, no individual pixels can be made out. With the iPhone 6S, pixels cannot be detected during normal viewing and yet the resolution is considerably lower. So Apple relies on an HD panel with a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels. The HTC 10 therefore has the edge when it comes to size and resolution but the iPhone6S is ahead in terms of color reproduction and brightness.

makes it possible to achieve perfect reproduction of content. THE PERFORMANCE OF THE TWO FLAGSHIPS COMPARED The processor is always one of the main components. This needs to come with sufficient power to make the device quick and pleasurable to use. A fast process means that apps are started quickly and also makes it possible to play graphically intense games without judder. Both the HTC 10 and the Apple iPhone 6S have more than enough power for everyday use. In the Apple, a dual-core A9 chip does the work. This ensures that the smartphone always runs smoothly and quickly. The HTC 10 is based on a processor by Qualcomm. The SoC Snapdragon 820 features four cores and may have recourse to four GB of memory. This leads to successful multi-tasking; there is no stalling even with intensive use. Apple dispensed with two cores. In theory, this should lead to a lower level of performance when compared to the quad-core processor in the HTC 10. Nevertheless, in practice, the two devices are practically at the same level. Apple accomplishes this by using the optimized operating system iOS 9. This was perfectly designed for the components, so the hardware is exploited to its maximum potential. This provides the same fast operation as the HTC 10. THE CAMERAS – HTC HAS THE EDGE Anyone looking for a smartphone capable of taking perfect shots, should opt for the HTC 10. While both flagships come with a 12-megapixel sensor on the back, the Android phone has a much wider aperture. This enables the HTC 10 to catch
more light than the iPhone 6S. As a result, images are clearer and have less noise, especially in low light conditions, such as those found indoors. The same holds true for the front camera. Here both manufacturers opt for a 5megapixel sensor, but again the HTC has a larger aperture. Furthermore the Android model has an optical image stabilizer. The iPhone 6S lacks this feature, so images more blurred than with the HTC. Both manufacturers rely on the same technology for the focus and the flash. So both models come with a laser focus, which promises very quick focusing. Also, both top models have a bright LED flash on the back. Thanks to this, it’s possible to take good pictures even in the dark.
With the screen the choice is yours, the HTC offers a wider image area, the iPhone 6S by contrast, can be operated with one hand. Overall, both screens offer a balanced representation, so here the size does represent a buying criterion. Likewise the operating system is also a HTC 10 OR APPLE IPHONE 6S – matter of taste.

Android does not even have a successful backup feature, whereas Apple’s iOS 9 offers a perfect solution here.
THE OPERATING SYSTEM – IOS 9 V ANDROID MARSHMALLOW The biggest difference between the two smartphones is not found in the built-in hardware or in the design, but in the operating systems which are fundamentally different. For users who prefer a secure and closed system, iOS and thus the iPhone 6S is the better choice. This software impresses with its very fluid and intuitive operation, everyone will find themselves quite at home here. The disadvantage here is the limited degree of customizability. Hence you can’t install any new themes on this device and you can only install apps from the App Store. Furthermore, with an iPhone you need to use a computer running iTunes. Apple devices can specifically not be used as USB sticks. Android users have more freedom. Here you can quickly and easily create a new design, and connect to a computer as you see fit without needing to use an additional application. But this

Who doesn’t know the most exciting medical TV Show ever, named ‘Grey’s Anatomy’? Ever since this show began in 2005, more and more people out of a sudden started to find doctors even more attractive. Well we guess, that this kind of a reaction is totally legit. We figured one of the most interesting characters is Dr Ben Warren, the handsome surgical resident at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. Dr Ben Warren showed up in the show after Grey Sloan Hospital and Seattle Grace Hospital merged. After a short time Warren even started to date Miranda Bailey and even got married to her. Nevertheless of course these are all things everybody has heard of and got to watch the dramatic, emotional and jaw-dropping scenes on TV, but there sure is more to say about Jason George.

WHAT WAS THE CRAZIEST EXPERIENCE YOU EVER MADE IN YOUR LIFE? I used to think I was invincible, (still kind of do). But, for thrills when I was younger (and dumber) whenever I was in the backseat of a moving car I would see if I could crawl out the window, across the roof and in the other side window without the driver noticing. The concept of my death didn‘t occur to me, did I mention I was young and dumb? One time, I tried to crawl from the backseat window of my friend‘s sedan into the flatbed of another friend‘s truck; neither driver knew I was doing this because they were focusing on each other and the race they were starting to have. Finally, when I was halfway out the window one driver swerved to avoid something and made me lose hold. My face plummeted towards the pavement speeding by at 50 miles-per-hour. It would have scraped my face clean off. Miraculously, my legs bent at the knees and my feet hit the roof of the car, stopping my face just inches above the pavement. I pulled myself back into the sedan and have never done something that reckless and stupid again.... I‘ve done different reckless and stupid things. WHAT WAS THE MOST PRECIOUS MOMENT YOU HAD IN YOUR LIFE? The births of my three kids were filled with drama that endangered the lives of everyone involved – even their mother. Knowing each of them was safe and healthy afterwards adds up to be my most precious moment. BEING AN ACTOR YOU SURE HAVE TO MENTALLY ADJUST YOURSELF TO DIFFERENT KINDS OF CHARACTERS. SO YOU ARE PLAYING DR. BEN WARREN IN GREY’S ANATOMY FOR A WHILE NOW, CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING A DOC’ IN REAL LIFE, AS WELL? I can‘t imagine being a surgeon at all. I would never want my hands responsible for someone‘s life.

YOU ALSO EXPERIENCED DOING PLAYS, WHAT DO YOU THINK PARTICULARLY DISTINGUISHES ACTING IN A PLAY FROM ACTING IN A MOVIE OR TV SHOW?

Directors can edit The shooter episode; when Yang is operating on your performance and make your outspoken Shepherd and the shooter puts the gun to her head, activist into the strong silent type. Writers are in and tells her to stop operating to make Shepherd control of making the dialogue crackle and the die slowly and Yang says „No.” I was trippin’ out. storylines stretch over multiple seasons without getting boring. HOW DID YOUR LIFE LOOK LIKE BEFORE YOU BECAME AN ACTOR? But in theater – on that stage – the actor is the final editor, the last rewrite, the stuntman and the I was a good student and adventurous kid. I had special effect. They can fire you the next day, but a good life before acting and loved college, but I once on that stage the actor can do whatever he thought I was going to be a lawyer before I dis- wants and nobody can stop him. You connect covered acting. I’d become friends with a Virginia State Supreme Court Justice who was my mentor. The plan was he was going to write my recommendations for law school and after law school I would clerk for him, so I would be a „made-man“ in Virginia. IS THERE AN EPISODE OF GREY’S ANATOMY, WHICH LEFT AN EMOTIONAL IMPRESSION BEHIND?
Then, I took an acting class first year of college.... never looked back. DID YOU EVER COME INTO A SITUATION WITH A FAN YOU DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE? Being asked to sign body parts is awkward. Hella interesting, but awkward! IF YOU WOULDN’T HAVE HAD BECOME AN ACTOR, WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU HAVE DONE JOBWISE? I probably would have become that lawyer. Maybe I would have joined the military if my Dad (a Navy man himself) hadn‘t pushed so hard. DO YOU HAVE ANY UNREACHED GOALS? IF SO WHAT ARE THEY AND WHY? Plenty, you should always be replacing the goals you reach with new ones that are bigger or more meaningful. I have projects I want to produce and places in the world I want to see. WHAT IS THE WORST THING THAT COULD EVER HAPPEN TO YOU? A loss of a child.

WOULD YOU ALLOW YOUR KIDS TO BECOME ACTORS OR WOULD YOU LIKE THEM TO BECOME SOMETHING ELSE? I want my kids to become whatever they want. But, I want them to fully understand what they’re getting themselves in for and bust their ass to be successful at it.

One of these rare people’s names is Fetsum Sebhat alias Fetsum, a German soul singer with a big heart! ‘PEACE X PEACE — Your Voice For Children!’ isn’t a normal kind of a charity event. This charity event is offering more than good music and especially more than empty words only. You sure can enjoy a bunch of very successful, talented and international artists like Aloe Blacc and German stars like Namika, Fetsum himself, Seeed and a lot more, but the message behind this event is more than honorable. None of the artists performing is getting paid, since all the money earned is donted to children in war areas, as well as refugee projects being supported by UNICEF. This festival is based on solidarity and humanity and is going to take place on June 5th 2016 at the legendary Waldbühne Berlin. Fetsum who is going to perform as well, also is playing another big role at this event. He also has been involved in organizational matters as a creative art director. He also has one certain message he wants to share with the world: “Being a part of this festival is a natural course of action to me, as well as social responsibility is a part of any artist’s and musician’s job, because we are the ones that are able to raise our voices for all the people who can’t – especially for the week and helpless of our society and especially with the goal to reach the whole world with their shout for help!” The whole project’s purpose is to raise awareness of how many children are suffering because of wars and life circumstances that don’t have to be the way they are. The money earned from donations of the P x P festival is going to support children in need, which have been suffering from war consequences or even had to become refugees in order to hope for a better life. There are round about 230 million children living in present war areas and about 60 million are trying to flee from there. UNICEF is concretely supporting Syria and its neighboring countries, as well as Sudan and Ukraine with relief supplies, guards and educational initiatives in order to protect children from violence and offering them other perspectives in life. This project honestly touched our hearts. This is why we wanted to hear more about it, and further get to know the man who actually knows how all that feels like, since he once used to be a refugee himself. We were pleased to have an interview with Fetsum and were very surprised of what he had to tell us:

What made you want to bring such an event to life? Me being super sensitive about this topic certainly has something to do with my biography. October 2013 was the year when the “Left to Die” incidents in Lampedusa happened and more than 800 people drowned in the Mediterranean Sea – counting 147 children. That was a very present story and totally tore my heart into shreds. That wasn’t because it never happened before or afterwards, but it simply was that moment when I realized “hey, that right there used to be us! That was me and my family 30 years ago!”. I just realized how lucky we had been back then. I know the best how important it is to be treaded well, when you first get somewhere. The ones who got lucky to get much of support and sympathy are going to be grateful for the rest of their lives and if they can they are even going to make it up twice as much! If it’s vice versa and you didn’t have that much of luck, you may grow up believing the world couldn’t care less about you. I believe that’s the worst thing to happen, watching generations growing up, who believe no one cares about. That’s always good fodder for demagogues and charlatans. That’s why I thought to myself: who if not me? I simply have to say something about this and I have to try to touch others with what I am doing – not waiting on other people to take care of it, because at the end of the day we all feel the same way: we are watching the news and it is touching us at that very moment, but the next day the alarm starts to ring and we go back to our daily routines and simply forget about what we have seen. I knew that this is going to be insane, but that’s also exactly the way I started to handle it – I drove everybody I wanted to be involved in this project insane and I convinced all of them, that this event is a simple must! So looking back at it, you can say it’s my own biography, because I once used to be a refugee child myself. What is expecting us at the PEACE X PEACE festival?

ARTE TV. There wont be a resume CD, though. All of your songs go pretty deep and have a strong message. What inspires you the most?
As you have mentioned earlier, I started doing music pretty late. I actually always wanted to become a doctor or someone who is able to make a social change. So when I decided to do music, with the past that I have, it was crystal clear to me to do more than just music. It just has a deeper meaning to me and I have to go for it! Referring to my biography and the fact of me being from Eritrea, but being born in Cairo and me growing up in Rome to finally move to Germany, makes clear, that I don’t have the standard type of an biography.

I am very happy; I am able to pursue my desires – don’t get this misunderstood, it’s just it took me a long time to realize and appreciate that. I am very glad I kept listening to my guts and kept choosing the hard roads at the end of the day. I chose arts with all it flaws to express myself – and the reward is great, I feel much more privileged now. Thinking about where I have started and where I am at now – being able to travel internationally and getting to know all kinds of people – that’s a pure blessing. And on top I got to be a father of a great five-year old son. So there actually is nothing I don’t have. Being a dad, what’s the most important thing you want to give your son on his way in life?

We are expecting great music, touching contributions of artists; even the governing Mayor of Berlin is going to attend and wants to give an opening speech out of respect and humanity. We will see how many other talk-guests are going to attend. Of course I would be flattered if UNICEF Germany CEO Christian Schneider would come as well. Despite you can look forward to artists like Seeed, Beatsteaks, Cro, Max Herre, Aloe Blacc, Afrob, Megaloh, MoTrip, Namika and little old me. We are going to enjoy a nice day together and do a few features with each other as homage to Prince. We simply want to do things to leave an unforgettable image that makes people say “this truly was something special!”

10 BEST PLACES TO HAVE SEX AT – LET’S GET OUT OF BED BABY!
To tickle your fantasy we have picked out a few crazy spots, where lovemaking is a lot more fun than you can imagine:
#1 AT THE TRAIN You book tickets to visit other cities, but the whole purpose of it is not the actual destination; it’s the trip itself! You start getting into it while you are on your way! You can leave it to chance, whether you do it at the roomy toilet for the disabled or secretly
at your first class cabin. The risk to be caught raises your lust immediately and will take lovemaking to a whole new level for you guys. #2 HIGHWAY PICNIC AREAS Believe it or not, but there are numerous picnic areas being used as lovemaking spots on the go. You can find a bunch of special spots on the Internet people have shared, where they have made the best experiences! You don’t have to stick on them, though; you can simply decide to do so, when you both get into that mood. What’s important about having sex at picnic areas is not to park your car anywhere close to the toilettes, because chances are given to
have families with children walking by your car. What you are doing in your car shouldn’t be anyone else’s business! Parking lot sex experts and swinger couples know exactly how this works so don’t be irritated in case you suddenly get a few viewers. #3 AT THE MOVIES We are not talking about a pornocinema, but about a normal movie theater. You need to make sure you don’t visit a kid’s movie, though. Wait about 2 weeks after the movie got released, because then there is a good chance the theater isn’t too packed. Now you can quietly enjoy your time together. #4 AT THE WELLNESS-SPA In case you like it a bit more comfortable you can choose to go and visit hot springs. A lot of these spas even offer daybeds for couples at their rest areas. You and your partner can grab a cover, find yourself a cozy spot and you can start giving her pleasure from behind. #5 BALCONY OF THE HOTEL Being at a hotel in a foreign city is quite seductive already, but if you combine that with some tempting sex on the balcony things can get way better. You might get the chance to catch a few curious viewers to your lovemaking scene. #6 PORNO-CINEMA This sounds a bit too kinky to you, and you may be right on that. But that’s the whole point, isn’t it? We warn you right away about the possibility of running into men there, who are actually waiting on couples to have sex in front of them. If that isn’t quite what you are looking for

You and your partner got tired of doing the same old stuff in bed? You are tired of doing the same position at the same room over and over again? If you agree with these points you have to make a change as soon as possible! Talk to your partner about what is bothering you in your sex life and talk about new potential places you can try out for your very private time. You will soon recognize how the way you look at each other changes and realize that it definitely was time to spice up things a bit!

you can also get yourself a voyeur room, a gloryhole room or a complete separate room and enjoy what you are doing all by yourself as well. This one is something for advanced ones, though. It can be a very tempting experience depending on how big your lust gets. #7 AT THE AIRPLANE Of course the airplane is a masterly performance. It is a bit tricky to disappear at the restrooms of an economy class, but it’s not impossible either! Tip: if you guys are sitting on a three-seat row by yourself she can also go down on you, whether it’s with her mouth or her hands, That’s up to her. If you actually make it to have sex on air you will get a MilesHigh-Club medal! #8 CHANGING ROOM Women love to go shopping, so how about making a win-win for both? Insiders’ tip: without favoring H&M, but they really know how to build comfortable and roomy changing rooms. Risking customers trying to open the door makes it even more exciting.
#9 STEAM BATH You can easily bear to enjoy a steam bath or to stay at a steam room for 15 – 20 minutes, before the heat starts to bother you. Due to the steamy glass plates it’s almost impossible to see who is sitting inside. That’s exactly the reason why steam baths are just perfect to spoil your partner, while you are in there. Even if someone suddenly enters the room, there is still enough time to sit back down, since they are going to need a brief moment to get used to the dark steamy room and to actually see something. #10 SEX SHOP’S MOVIE CABIN There are a bunch of movie cabins at sex shops. Usually you have to throw in a coin to enjoy porn. But there are also cabins for couples, where you can take your girlfriend with you. If you like to take the risk of some seriously horny guy bumping into you while you are having sex you rather don’t lock the door. It’s up to you how far you want to go.

of commitments. The subconscious is comparable to a darkroom. The photos we have saved there develop until they take shape in our reality. As soon as you leave a photo, which is according to things that have happened in the past, such as being called a womanizer, your subconscious wont be in the condition to actually be faithful, since that image of yourself is going to take more and more shape in your real life. You are automatically begrudging yourself of the fact that you can also be blessed with a healthy perfect going relationship. Only people who appreciate themselves can allow themselves to become happy. Selfesteem disturbance can destroy a precious relation-ship by doing such things as being unfaithful. Of course being afraid of commitments and the womanizer image of yours are mostly due to this principle.
So according on that your consciousness may think monogamy is absolutely a must, whereas your sub-consciousness is totally against it. 2. Genetic Control – Evolutionary-Biological Explanations Looking at it from an evolutionarybiological way, living organism is destined to assure survival of the species. So your hormones are practically your very own cheerleaders, who are acknowledging you doing the right thing by spreading your descendants in order to save our species! Despite men distinguish from women, they can have as many children as they want, until the day they die to be exact, women cannot. In the view of this fact that the capacity of reproduction is limited, one partner is probably sufficient. Not for men: there is no limit for men! That’s exactly the reason why men need to have sex with as many women as possible – to father many descendants. If he doesn’t, he is going to be forced to depend on his partner’s biological and physical limits. For example, when she is pregnant it makes no sense to have sex just to save our species. Of course you could wait until she gave birth and until her eggs are fertilizable again. But what’s the point of wasting precious time and sperms? That’s how
your hormones work. For the sake of our species your hormones want you to care less about being faithful and want you to break free. So it’s simply not in your genes to stay faithful for the rest of your life. Of course you could also go and donate your sperms and just spread them to anybody: safest way to father as many descendants as possible. But your genes simply wont understand! Lets stick to Sigmund Freud and his annoying habit of referring every human action to our reproduction instincts. These instincts are genetically predetermined. Pursuing Freud’s idea further we would probably end up with serious psychological issues, due to suppressed reproduction instincts. So according to Freud’s studies about the sexual behavior of a few animals such as bulls’ and rats’ we know that male animals stop breeding their females after a certain time has passed. But as soon as a new female is being added to the horde the males start to get aroused again. These genetic coherences of being unfaithful can’t be denied! There is one problem, though: you are not a completely instinctively controlled animal like a bull or a rat. Different from other mammals, despite of the survival instinct humans have laws and ideals of our socialization. Due to the socialization monogamy is appropriate to you, but due to genetics you don’t have to behave like that.

and hiding them in mental boxes, since you actually never get over those feelings and sooner or later they will come after you and hit you harder than you can imagine. Such situations often occur in relationships where different kinds of responsibilities such as children and other responsibilities come up. So for the sake of those responsibilities and duties we start to collect a bunch of unnecessary boxes. Most of the time t things like disappointments, flaws of your partner or other emotionally hurtful things you claim to be long forgiven and forgotten. If you keep doing this for too long you probably are going to end up in an emotional vacuum! Sad thing about throwing your feeling in boxes is, that you most likely are going to throw a part of your relationship in a box too, simply for the sake of daily routines. But one day there is going to be that one final straw and that’s when you on the one hand are releasing your love for someone again, but on the other hand you also will do and say things you probably are going to regret at the end. This stuffed emotional box can also lead you to cheat on your partner. You may even cheat out of revenge, disappointment, frustration and so on. Revenge is what is killing healthy relationships and shouldn’t be involved in any partnership, because it simply destroys too much of what you are sharing with your loved one. But the reason why you actually enjoy cheating out of revenge is too simple, it empties all the unnecessary burdens you were carrying around all the time! And this certainly is something that can happen to anyone, even to people who actually believe in monogamous lifestyles.

Everybody is carrying around a greedy, winy, demanding inner voice, which starts to nag around as soon as there is no honey left for him in the kitchen cupboard. This inner voice is always demanding to catch compliments and needs to receive as many ego boosts as possible. This someone is called our ego! Most of the time at the beginning of any relationship there is enough of ego boost given. The woman you are dating usually compliments you a lot and gives herself to you in several ways, emotionally and sexually. But as soon as you get to have a long lasting relationship such things are getting less, simply because you guys get used to it and start to look at it as such a normal thing, which leads to daily routines. That’s when you guys hit the comfort zone and she starts to give it less effort. Nice compliments shrink and almost turn invisible. You simply got used to each other and don’t feel the need to compliment each other like you used to when you first started dating. What’s going to happen next is that your greedy ego starts to become hungry again. So before your ego starves itself to death it is going to look for possibilities of survival. As sad as it may sound, but we are dependent on nice words and compliments and as soon as we stop receiving any we unconsciously are looking for other ways or people or partners to receive that social recognition again. This is affecting you in several ways and can you lead you to build more than one relationship only. You can feel attractive to your partner mentally and emotionally, but if your physical needs aren’t pleased you still are going to get into conflicts with your ego. In case you can’t gain any recognition at all from your partner any-
more, your relationship is unfortunately most likely going to come to an end soon. But if it’s only about the physical attraction a bit on the side can already be boosting your ego again. That’s the moment when your double standards are kicking in again: of course your ego wouldn’t appreciate if your partner would do the same to you. That would only be more destroying to you. So your ego believes in monogamy, but under certain circumstances it stops you of being monogamous yourself.

BEST POSITIONS FOR ANAL SEX
Every man wants it, but most women’s answer is simply no! But there do exist women, which actually enjoy this instead of having an “exit only!” opinion about it. We dug a bit deeper in several erotic forums and wanted to get a few more opinions about this mysterious female gender part. We asked one particular question: “is there a woman who likes anal sex, if so why do you like it?”. The answers were quite astounding and interesting at the same time.

First we want to tell you why women don’t like anal sex any more after they actually tried it out. One of the most common reasons is, that it hurts them way too much and makes them feel inconvenient. In the same breath all of them admitted, that the guy they tried it out with was too rough and careless! So according to that every man needs to make sure to provide a long and sensitive foreplay to get the cookie at the end! So obviously an intense foreplay is a definite must! Further more you need to use a gentle glide gel instead of only wetting your wiener.
AJOURE MEN / EROTIC About the Positions: Not every position is made for every woman! This is your job to figure out which one is best for both of you.
Position 1: The Curled Angel
This position involves both of you to lie on the side, her with her back to you. The male counterpart is spooning his body to hers while penetrating her. The woman pulls her legs towards her chest and slightly stretches them away, that way her sphincter widens a bit more. Since your hands are free, you are able to caress any part of her body you want. Even though a bunch of experts claim this position is the best for having anal sex, the women we have interviewed say just the opposite.
Photos: fotoduki / iStock Photo; Ajoure editors
Position 2: The Clip
Choosing this position gives all the control over sex pace and penetration itself to the woman. So this may sound convenient, but that doesn’t mean it’s comfortable the whole time. This position involves the woman riding the man with her body slightly being bent backwards, while her hands are pressed on the bed to keep the balance. That way it’s way easier for her to get in the right position, to enable the man to gently and intensely stimulate her with his hands.
Position 3: Position 5: The Double Decker The Afternoon Delight
The man is lying on his back while his female counterpart lies equally in the same position looking upwards like he does on top of him. This one promises by far the most intense body contact and by the way it’s recommendable to place a few pillows behind your head, to make sure you lie down comfortable that way you enable yourself to stimulate her perfectly fine with your hands.
Position 4: The Ape
This one almost requires a physical education and needs to be done very carefully. The man lies on his back and pulls his knees towards his chest. Your partner sits on the backside of your thighs; she needs to be positioned as if she would be sitting on chair. To brace her you need to put your upper arms steady on the bed or ground and hold her hands and wrist while using your feet as a backrest for her to keep the balance. Both of you need to enjoy this position rather at a slow pace and with a lot of sensitivity since you are penetrating her very deeply.
This position is quite simple and comfortable since the female is lying on her back and the man on his side. Her bottom is facing his pelvis and her legs are easily hugging him sideways. This position also enables you to have your hands free to touch her anywhere you want while you are sexually spoiling each other. According to the survey we made most of the women prefer this position since it’s free from any pain. So this one obviously is the best to start with!
Position 6: The Eagle
Due to our survey we also got told that this position is the best to enjoy painless anal sex. The woman is lying on her back facing and lifting her legs towards the ceiling. The male counterpart kneels down with his legs spread and is steadily holding her legs to make it easier for her to constantly lifting her legs up. Depending on how comfortable it is to her, she can either spread or bind her legs while you are penetrating her. Bit of advice, if you put a pillow underneath her bottom you can enter her way easier.

HOW LONG SEX ACTUALLY TAKES
Australian scientists from the University of Queensland have recently tested this by making an extensive study on 500 test subjects. They made their attendees track time of each of their coitus, to figure out how long the average act really takes. This quite delicate matter, which yet is full of secrets, revealed a lot of interesting facts about what is really average:
PHENOMENON SEX Nowadays sex is constantly present in all kinds of mass media. Almost every expert keeps saying ‘sex sells’! And of course every single man wants to be the best lover a woman ever had. Almost no man was able to actually tell us how long sex with him really takes, though. Well, we guess that’s probably because it’s kind of weird to have a look at the watch first, before having sex. Despite having sex is affected by many mental and physical aspects, which lead to unsteady results of duration.

STARTING POINT Dr. Brendan Zietsch had his researchers asking 500 attendees to track time of their sexual intercourse, not counting the foreplay; they had to track time once the penis was entered until the male counterpart actually had ejaculated. Dr. Zietsch frankly conceded, that using the timer has certainly affected the results and extended the duration of the actual act. The participants came from Turkey, USA, Netherlands, Great Britain and Spain. All of them were forced to track time of their lovemaking for 4 weeks (whether they have got used to the timer as their new sex toy is not known). Below you can find the quite interesting results:
RESULTS The average sexual intercourse took no more than 5,4 minutes. Every research always has its extreme drifts: so the shortest intercourse took 33 seconds, the longest 44 minutes. Interesting were the influences of age: 18 – 30 year olds averagely took 6,5 minutes, men above the age of 50 years were averagely done after 4,3 minutes. Another fascinating result were country-specific impacts: British men’s sexual intercourse averagely took 7,6 minutes, men from Turkey were done after averagely 3,7 minutes (we are not quite sure, whether this is due to the sad weather of the island or to their fish and chips…) The American’s lovemaking took 7 minutes, followed closely by Spanish and Dutch men with 5,8 minutes and 5,1 minutes. Using condoms or being circumcised didn’t play any role.

You may also have been in nice company of your buddies here and there. So you started to brag about the past night and how long it was going on with the new girl you met. Or you have even managed to talk intensely about your staying power qualities in general! But we bet you have never actually tracked time on how long you honestly last – which is absolutely legit, since it would have probably looked too awkward to do so, while you guys want to get started.

INTERPRETATION
CONCLUSION
This study could not reveal what aspects actually affected the duration. So according to that it couldn’t be clarified, whether sociocultural or any other aspects distinguish sexual intercourse with Turkish lovers or British ones. It also couldn’t get clear how big the impact of using the timer was and how much it actually distorted the attendees’ mood.
This study from Queensland is to be awarded for clarifying rumors about supposedly hour-long lovemaking. What needs to be criticized is the simple fact, that the measurements didn’t include any kind of supervising, which makes us question the validity of the data withdrawn.
Nevertheless this project made it possible to achieve scientifically proven facts and results about this disputed topic no one wants to talk about. Dr. Zietsch also mentioned that respondents usually tend to make it look more advantageous than it actually is. Doing this study enabled the researchers to receive sober results and evaluate them (of course this study relies on the attendees honesty as well).
In conclusion a further comment is that the sexual intercourse’s duration isn’t revealing anything about the sexual satisfaction, since additional things such as devotion, trust and fantasy are the bare essentials needed. But a statistical survey of utilizations of these things is being left to future researches.

5 Things You Need to Have in Your Household to Impress Women
ADVISOR
So you have been single for quite a long time now and every single time you actually get to invite a woman over your place it always is ending the same way? Have you ever thought about it this way: women actually are learning much more about your personality by investigating your home interior! Believe it or not but they actually do! Your home says much about you and your personality.
THE BOOKSHELF
Educated men always impress women! While drifting by your bookshelf women totally examine the titles of your books and automatically get an idea of how you actually are. That’s because the books you read show your interests. So according to that you need to have a few books about travelling, education and life itself. If you own books about motivation and success, the female you invited gets the impression you know exactly how you want your life to look like, since they make you appear determined and focused. That’s a big bonus!
In the end it doesn’t really matter whether you own a guitar, a keyboard or drums. As a matter of fact musical instruments show your female guest, that you appreciate certain things and actually take time for things that are important to you in life. So it’s an asset to actually know how to play that instrument. To avoid any embarrassing situation you should watch a few YouTube tutorials to learn a few basic moves, that way you can impress her by playing a little song.

THE KITCHEN
Make sure you are well equipped with adequate pots and nice cutlery. At a well-organized kitchen seasoning shouldn’t be missing either, because that way you can show her, that even though you are living the bachelor pad lifestyle, yet you know how to take care of yourself without cliché like meals such as frozen pizzas and fried eggs. Besides women love men who know how to cook!
YOUR PHOTOS
Personal photos are a must for any home; it doesn’t even matter whether you prefer having collages or photos standing in rows at your wall — but they need to exist on your walls. There is no way she wont notice and she will judge over you and what kind of a person you really are. Important photos are: pictures of your parents, your deceased pet, your best buddies back in college and of a few cool events out of your life in general e.g. while parachuting, skin-diving, biking and so on.
YOUR BATHROOM
As soon as she closes the door behind her, every female examines the bathroom in how clean it is, before she actually uses the toilet. This means you shouldn’t only clean up your mess, but also be well arranged. Nice fragrances are pretty self-explanatory and are a must to have and a clean toothbrush in view is also necessary. So your bathroom needs to radiate tidiness and hygiene otherwise she will get the impression of you not taking care of your personal hygiene.

This certainly is something no one wants to hear while facing someone. But you still want to know it and do something about it! Having a bad breath is a definite taboo no one wants to talk about. Telling someone, they have an awfully bad breath is quite an inconvenient situation, and so is telling them the truth about it. Bad breath is a widespread taboo subject and without a doubt it is an embarrassing topic everyone wants to sweep under the carpet. But even if this situation might turn a bit awkward, letting the affected person know about their bad breath is a total must. People who actually don’t know that they are having a bad breath obviously can’t do anything about it, so they are probably going to appreciate you discretely pointing it out to them. The other way around a lot of people believe that they have a bad breath but actually don’t. WHERE IS THIS COMING FROM? The basic causes of Halitosis (that’s its technical term) are Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Treponema denticola, Haemophilus- and Fuso-Bacteria. All of them are bacteria, which are in your mouth and throat, and are producing sulfurous gas. Another reason for bad breath is medication containing sulfur. Fundamentally we need to separate between locally and systemically based reasons for bad breath. Local reasons mostly are due to poor oral hygiene, food debris in between your teeth and within your mouth itself, caries, stomatitis and any inflammation of your periodontium (e.g. parodontitis) or gum infections. But these aren’t the only ones, further we need to take the consumption of alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, as well as a dry mouth or a tumor under consideration. Systemic causes for bad breath can also be due to disturbances of the intestinal flora, change of your nutrition (mostly because of fasting or drastic reduce of calories), as well as sicknesses such as liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, kidney failure and diabetes.

How to Detect And Cure Testosterone Deficiency
What is This Able to Cause?
Testosterone deficiency — these two words give a lot of men anxiety. The sex hormone stands for masculinity so it’s self-explanatory why men don’t want to do without. But nevertheless this hormone is also regulating other functions of the body. It is very common for men not to produce enough testosterone, though. There are several symptoms depending on age and stage of the person affected. We got to the bottom of that matter of testosterone and explain you how you can detect and cure testosterone deficiency.
Low blood levels of testosterone can prevent your body building up muscles and makes your body tend to save more body fat instead. Having a deficiency of this hormone can also affect the structure of your bones since they become prone to osteoporosis. Deficiency of testosterone also raises the risk of suffering under diabetes and high blood pressure. Erectile disorders or impotence are the worst consequences of testosterone deficiency affecting men’s psyche. Things not working out in bed are very destroying for any men’s selfesteem, which can lead to serious depressions on top.
What Does Testosterone Deficiency Mean?

First of all testosterone is a hormone, mainly being produced in your testicles and partly in your adrenal gland. The hormone is being spread to your body via your bloodstream. This should already be a hint for you, that the symptoms can vary quite a lot. They can go from general nausea to lethargy and less performance doing sports. But such a deficiency can also lead to serious health issues.

Possible Indications for Testosterone Deficiency
Stress or Deficiency?
1. erectile dysfunctions, decreased libido or impotence 2. insomnia 3. tiredness, weakness 4. temper, nervousness, listlessness 5. hot flashes 6. anemia, tendency to depressions 7. weight gain (abdominal fat), muscle degeneration 8. high blood pressure, diabetes 9. drop in beard-, pubic- and armpit hair 10. osteoporosis 11. dry and/or loose skin, paleness
Often doctors cannot detect this kind of a deficiency right away, since their symptoms are not that specific. There are also cases of young men showing similar symptoms to testosterone deficiency, but in fact they often are due to stress and mental exhaustion or psychological strains. In case the symptoms remain for a longer time period or even start to get worse, the chance is given that it is a deficiency of testosterone all the same. In that case you should go and see a doctor as soon as possible. Doing a blood analysis the doctor will be able to figure out whether you are suffering from hormone disorders or from too much stress.
Running Out of Testosterone With Age
When Can It Become Dangerous?
It’s absolutely normal that our testosterone levels decrease with age, this is part of our ageing process. This kind of normal hormone decrease process is also called Andropause. However in this case a drastic decrease of hormones can also evolve inconvenient symptoms and lead to a suboptimal quality of life. The final result of this can cause drastic hair loss, loss of your libido and weight gain. Erectile dysfunction can also be caused by testosterone deficiency.
Testosterone deficiency can have negative repercussions on your body. Beside of the psychological symptoms there also is a higher risk for other serious illnesses. Heart or vascular diseases are possible serious results. Also the probability of suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure is increasing if there is a drastic deficiency of testosterone.
Young Men Suffering From Testosterone Deficiency Decreased production of testosterone is not depending on age only; even men of young age can suffer by this deficiency. Medication, unhealthy lifestyle and dysfunctions of their sleep rhythm can also be causes for low testosterone levels.

How to Cure Testosterone Deficiency
Increasing Your Testosterone Naturally It’s pretty easy: everything that is good for your body and health also is good for your testosterone levels. Doing sports sufficiently, having a healthy and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle in general is helping you to raise your testosterone levels again. Sports Boost Your Hormones According to a study power sports multiply enable your body to distribute testosterone. Interval practices also boost your testosterone levels. 1. Power Training The most effective way to do a power workout is to use weights while bench-pressing and doing squats with pausing for 90 seconds within the reps. Scientists have measured the highest testosterone releases while doing these pauses. Certainly workouts like that also affect a higher fat burn and are supporting muscle growth.
3. Nutrition 1. Fats & Proteins Healthy fats and proteins are an essential part of every wellbalanced meal and also helping to regulate your hormones. These following groceries provide your body with important nutrients: olives (oil) meat eggs avocados butter coconuts / nuts (undigested oil) low-fat curd cheese / cheese / other dairy products Using these products you also need to pay attention on where they are from. Organic growing products are the best choice. It becomes increasingly clear how big of a role proteins actually play for a healthy diet. Missing proteins make testosterone connect itself with globulin (protein compounds). Bad thing about connected hormones is they are completely useless. A few athletes even use food supplements to assure they won’t connect.
2. Cardio Workouts Interval and cardio workouts are easily combinable and enable you to rather do short interval units than long stamina trainings. 4. Minerals & Creatine A noticeable release of testosterone was analyzed while doing Adding a few minerals to regulate your testosterone deficiency is a short intense sprints a few times in a row, compared to men who huge support for your body. preferred doing long distance runs.

Short and intense reps combined with a few minutes of a vels. So if that is the case you can also take zinc to increase your pause are boosting your testosterone levels. testosterone release. This only works until your body reaches its needed zinc content. So that means: your testosterone isn’t increasing only because of you taking more zinc. You shouldn’t risk taking too much zinc anyway, since it can make you trouble with your gastrointestinal and in the worst case it can also affect your kidney and liver.

There are two options given, when your body is not producing enough testosterone. You can try to regulate your testosterone balance in a natural way or you choose to do a substitution treatment. You should prefer the natural way first, since the natural way comes along with other positive side effects.
AJOURE MEN / ADVISOR
Magnesium Here goes the same as with zinc, a deficiency of magnesium is also affecting your hormone balance. But it’s the same here: your body takes the magnesium content it needs; every bit of more magnesium isn’t affecting your hormones anymore. Athletes can make the most use of these two minerals since while doing sports and sweating they are losing a lot of zinc and magnesium. Creatine This organic acid is perfect as a food supplement for athletes. Creatine positively affects the muscles while building them up and at the same time it boosts your testosterone levels. Numerous studies have proven, that creatine has no expecting side effects, when used correctly The Testosterone Booster Further more there are so called testosterone boosters, which can help your body to produce its own testosterone again. Using this supplement you are not taking artificially testosterone, but substances that are boosting your testosterone level.
2. Sunshine, Happy Mood And Sleep Vitamin D isn’t only good for our well-being, but also for the production of our hormones. Scientists have figured out, that men who have regulated their Vitamin D content automatically boosted their testosterone levels as well. So that means: not taking enough Vitamin D nutrition can also negatively affect your testosterone level. We are not able to choose how the weather circumstances are going to be, but we sure can get us some Vitamin D preparations. Further everyone who is happy and constantly in a good mood in general, barely suffers from testosterone deficiency. Things you like doing are balancing your body mentally and hormonally. Having sex or even being aroused is already supporting your hormones. Getting enough rest is also very important to regulate your hormones. While sleeping your body starts to relieve stress, which is important, since stress is hindering your hormones. Boosting Testosterone by Taking Hormones
It is also possible to boost your testosterone by taking artificial hormones. Such a substitution therapy is affecting sexually Xenoestrogens mature men with less than 12 nmol/l testosterones, even if it’s under These substances mostly are in plastic and affect your body like 8 nmol/l, this treatment is recommendable.

We all know that feeling of exhaustion due to school, studying or work. Whenever this feeling pops up we simply want to relax and chill, not wasting one thought on doing any kinds of sports.

No More Snoring What is the worst passion killer you have ever experienced? Exactly! Snoring! Approximately 73 % of men older than 40 years and 58 % of men younger than 40 years are constantly disturbing their partner’s night’s rest. This annoying noise can averagely reach 80 decibels, which is comparable to the loudness of a pneumatic hammer. So obviously this is nothing that can be taken slightly. That’s why we feel the need to clarify you about causes and dangers of snoring and mainly about how to do something about it. Causes of Snoring Every human being is snoring here and there. And there is nothing serious about occasional snoring either, especially when you have caught a cold snoring is quite common. If you were drinking one too many snoring can also compensate the consumption of alcohol. These are occasional causes of snoring and are absolutely harmless. But you should prick your ears in case your wife, your roommate or your neighbor starts to complain about the loud noise coming out of your bedroom (no, you sure know we are not talking about the nicest thing to do in bed!).

Science puts emphasize on constant snoring increasing the risk of heart attacks by 34 % and the risk of having a stroke by 34 %. Not only for the sake of your relationship towards your neighbors or your marriage, but it’s also worth your health to go and see a doctor. Caution: Apnea Coming along with snoring issues some people also have so called apnea, which is very dangerous! Accompanying symptoms of such intense and constant snoring are pauses in breathing, which can last up to 30 seconds and repeat appearing as well. To detect pauses in breath (in case your loved one hasn’t noticed yet), can be analyzed in sleep laboratories. How to Get Rid Of The Passion Killer There are several methods to get rid of this annoying passion killer. Your doctor should be able to give you effective advices, after figuring out what the reasons for your snoring are. We have prepared a range of remedies, which can help you to get back on enjoying your (and whoever is surrounded by you) night’s sleep.
AJOURE MEN / ADVISOR 5.Live Healthy 1. Mouthpiece Almost 90 % of people who are snoring are breathing through their mouth. A mouthpiece, which is placed in between your lips and your teeth being fixed on your upper jaw, can enable you breathing naturally through your nose again. 2. Nasal Strip A nasal strip widens your nasal entrance and enables you to breath through your nose. This is most effective for people breathing through their mouth because of their airway constrictions. 3.Sleeping Sideways Most of the men who are snoring are sleeping on their back. In case you are one of them, you need to try to sleep sideways. If you have already tried that out, but yet you keep changing your position and end up sleeping on your back, then you can get yourself an anti-snoring-backpack or simply tie a basketball on your back or put a long pillow behind you while sleeping.

4. Slim Down — Breathe Deeply Overweight is one of the main reasons for snoring, since your throat is getting too tight, due to a surfeit of fat and that’s exactly the reason why you need to slim down. Too much of body fat isn’t only the cause of snoring, but also of other diseases, that can turn to become life threatening e.g. heart attack, high blood pressure, stroke, cancer — just to mention a few. So, you better get on that treadmill, start counting calories and pass on sweets.
Last but not least you need to take care of your health, to avoid the passion killer called snoring annoying you! A balanced light diet, a sufficient exercise, no cigarettes and moderate alcohol, as well as fix sleeping routines can help prevent snoring. The last alternative is a surgery, which is only recommendable for anatomically malposition. Anatomic malposition that can be cured by a surgery are: ▷ Nasal septum ▷ Big tonsils ▷ Flabby palate ▷ Shorter lower jaw
Snoring — Not Only a Health Problem Despite the health issues that are coming along with snoring, this passion killer can also destroy your whole relationship with your partner. If someone isn’t able to sleep for days, weeks, months or even years (not counting parents of young kids) is going to be forced to fight his or her exhaustion each day. This can turn to become a serious problem! So in case your girlfriend isn’t making a doctor’s appointment for you, which surely would be recommendable, she probably is going to either move out or make you sleep on the couch. And sleeping in separate bedrooms is the end of any relationship, since your love life is going to be comparable to your loneliness. Snoring can be cured. Talk to your doc’ and try out all the gentle methods first, to make sure you can keep your love life and kill the passion killer.

12 KARMA
First off all let’s get this weird thought of many straight: we all know that little saying “Karma is a b$&@!”, BUT as matter of a fact, that simply is not true! Honestly now, stop blaming Karma for things going wrong in your life. People got an absolutely wrong picture of what Karma actually is. The correct meaning of the word Karma basically is the result of a person‘s action and the action itself. So if you look at it the correct way, Karma is comparable to the Newtonian Causality – The law of Cause and Effect… In other words Karma isn’t meant to be a punishment, but it’s just as simple as that: if we create a negative force by the things we say or do, that negativity will come back. To make sure you keep your Karma on a good balance make sure you think about these 12 Laws of Karma:
1 ◉ THE GREAT LAW Always keep in mind: you sow, what you reap! So to keep it in short words, you need to be aware, that everything you put out into the world will sooner or later come back at you. To receive positive things such as love, luck and happiness you need to be loving and in peace with yourself first.

2 ◉ THE LAW OF CREATION Stop acting like life is a gamble. Life is what we make it, it doesn’t happen by itself. So in easy words: stop trying to find yourself, start creating yourself! That’s best to be done by surrounding yourself with things and people you actually like. - And by the way, it’s easier than it sounds to create yourself, since almost everything, that is surrounding you automatically also is effecting you and gives you a clue to your inner state.
3 ◉ THE LAW OF HUMILITY So you had a bad day and you simply got frustrated with whatever happened that day… Good! Because now you can do the first step, which is accepting and the following second step is to make a change then! - Stop looking at every single thing and person as an enemy, because if you do so you can’t focus on what is actually important to you. 4 ◉ THE LAW OF GROWTH Start with your very own! You simply have to admit, that if you want to see any changes in your life, relationship, job or whatever it is, you need to start with yourself first. Why is that? - It’s too simple — we cannot change everything and everybody surrounding us, BUT we can positively change ourselves.
5 ◉ THE LAW OF RESPONSIBILITY Please, stop throwing pity parties! As our parents would have said “ you are a big girl / boy now”. Stop blaming everything else, but yourself on things that went wrong. Even if you actually really couldn’t have avoided certain things to happen, since they were not in your hands, you still have to take the responsibility. - This law of Karma means, if there is something wrong in your life, there obviously is something wrong with the way you are handling it.

LAWS OF
AJOURE MEN / ENTERTAINMENT
10 ◉ THE LAW OF CHANGE 8 ◉ THE LAW OF GIVING AND HOSPITALITY 6 ◉ DTHE LAW OF CONNECTION It’s pretty much logical, that things need to be connected. It’s the same with our past being connected with our present and the present impacting our future. - So always keep in mind, that you need to do everything step by step, but nevertheless each step is important. Every single thing you do in your life is affecting your wellbeing and how your future might end up. But don’t get too overprotective; just be aware there are multiple things that are affecting accomplishments.
7 ◉ THE LAW OF FOCUS Multitasking surely isn’t a gift a lot a people are blessed with. But that’s absolutely okay, because it’s not productive to think of two thinks at the same time anyway. Success is mostly only given, when there is a focus put on something in particular. - And according to the laws of Karma it is almost not possible to feel greed or anger by putting your focus on spiritual values and on the things that truly matter to you.
To break it down for you, this rule is simply about good things you can do, you need to make sure, that your behavior matches your thoughts and actions. - Sharing nice things with people we care about or even only to put a smile on someone’s face is worth a lot. 9 ◉ THE LAW OF HERE AND NOW Leave the past behind! You simply cannot live in the present, while constantly being stuck in your past. Sometimes it’s just easier to leave the past stay in the past e.g. old patterns or bad experiences you once made.
Life repeats its circumstances until we finally learn the lessons we needed in order to change our path. - So change is never a bad thing! 11 ◉ THE LAW OF PATIENCE AND REWARD Earning rewards comes along with effort! But the key to success is not to force it! You can only find success by enjoying what you are actually doing, that way you don’t have to wait for success it will come along anyway!
12 ◉ THE LAW OF SIGNIFICANCE AND INSPIRATION Sometimes it’s more important to see the whole picture. That way we start to realize, that our actions and our behavior is affecting everybody and everything surrounding us. So all in all we need to realize that Karma seriously is no b$&@! Karma is a kind of a lifestyle that is supposed to lead us to positivity and makes us to do a bit of self-reflection in order to achieve a better life and to find a way of finding better solutions for whatever is going on in our lives. Be nice to your Karma, because your Karma is what makes your life easier!
- It’s time to create new memories and new life experiences!

Idioms and Their Meanings Every single one of us is using a saying here and there. And most of us know what is meant to say, but there barely is someone who actually knows where those idioms are coming from. So we decided to get things straight for you:

POOR AS A CHURCH MOUSE Meaning: being broke, being very poor Origin: the correct way of this phrase actually used to be “to be hungry as a church mouse” and its roots go back to the 1600´s when churches didn’t have kitchens to cook and they didn’t have storages where they saved their groceries. So a mouse being that unlucky to live at a church used to stay hungry for the most part. GET THE SACK Meaning: pretty much means to get fired
Photo: Richard Goerg / iStock Photo; Graphics: artishokcs / iStock Photos
Origin: in the 1500´ tradesmen used to carry around all their belongings in a sack, but as soon as they had a job they could leave their sack at the boss’s office or even got to have a safe place where they could leave their sack. This was only the case as long as the boss was pleased with the tradesmen’s work, if not they were forced to go and grab their sack and leave. IN THE LIMELIGHT Meaning: being in the center of attention, comparable to ’in the spotlight’ Origin: in 1840 people were pretty creative when it came to their theater equipment. To get the best results of light they invented a technique with actual limes. So whenever they needed light for their plays they were heating a piece of lime in a flame made of burning oxygen and hydrogen. Using a strong lens mastered the perfect white light being directed to the stage.
BEAT AROUND THE BUSH Meaning: someone avoids answering a question or simply not being specific enough about an answer Origin: in the 1500´ hunters used to have so called ’Beaters’. They were supposed to use long sticks to drive small animals out of the bushes, so hunters could get better shots.
SKELETON IN YOUR CLOSET Meaning: you have a secret, but no matter what happens you wont talk about it Origin: in 1832 doctors and professors were not allowed to use corpses for any medical researches. However they would do it anyway but since it was a crime they were hiding the illegal skeletons they were using for teaching in their cupboards. There is no exact evidence that this rumor is true but concealed skeletons are nothing rare in old houses. Victorian author William Makepeace Thackeray also referred to a skeleton in every house and their closets, so there may be something true about it.
BREAK A LEG Meaning: simply means ‘good luck’ but in a very superstitious way Origin: actors are quite known for their superstition, that’s probably why you mostly wont hear any of them say such things as “good luck”. They rather like to say break a leg because that way they won’t talk about positive
things in advance. Another theory is that German-speaking Jews brought this phrase to America, since a lot of them used to work in theaters. According to linguistics ‘break your leg’ can also have had derived from former actors in the 18th century. After a play was finished they used to come back on stage to take a bow, which means they were bending their knees or in other words ‘breaking their legs’. IN THE SAME BOAT Meaning: you are experiencing the exact same thing as someone else Origin: this saying goes back to the ancient Greeks which used to warn passengers of a crowded small boat about several dangers at the sea.
TIGHTEN YOUR BELT Meaning: getting used to a lower life standard, because you don’t have that much money anymore Origin: due to the U.S. depression era in 1920, people were earning less money which lead them to spend less, eat less and lose a lot of weight. So losing weight literally forced a lot of people to tighten their belts.
OVER A BARREL Meaning: being helpless, in need of something or simply in a bad situation Origin: in the mid-20th century people who committed a crime were being whipped mostly being tied over a barrel to hold them down. Another reason for this idiom is that people who were rescued from drowning were laid over a barrel to make sure their lungs are getting emptied of the water. Either ways seemed pretty much in need, though!

Which Female is Easy to Score With on Tinder?
Everybody knows Tinder, and every single one of us had this app on his or her cellphones for at least once. But does all the effort even make sense? After all we are talking about two sexes with two different goals, trying to find a common ground! Well, the goal of men mostly always is the same: having sex! Despite this men will see what happens next… of course exceptions confirm the rules, though! But lets stick to the common average type of men on Tinder. So what we actually need to know is, what kinds of women are using Tinder? And how are we supposed to act on them to achieve our goal?
How Women Install Their Tinder Profiles: → Curiously installing the app → Choosing well-thought out photos and descriptions of them → Tinder settings such as age and distance get perfectly adjusted → After being through with the first round of Tinder’s local search, women particularly put their focus on men’s profile pictures. Even if the first photo of you looks interesting to her, yet that’s no reason to like it. Women need to check all of your photos to see whether you are worth a like or not. Further your description needs to be at least a bit appealing to her, preferably a bit funny, too. After analyzing all of your pictures and after making sure you may be qualified, she finally decides to slide to the right for a simple like!
Types of Women You Find on Tinder: The Curious One: The curious Tinder woman has a bunch of friends and also had quite a few relationships in her real life. She only joined the Tinder world because her friends kept talking about this new app and she didn’t want to fall behind in conversations. So that’s basically why she installed Tinder. Good thing about her is that there are no boundaries, since it all depends on how curious she gets, she either will meet up with you or just slide her finger to the left. AJOURE MEN MAGAZINE PAGE:

The Proud One: Of course a proud woman won’t message you first, duh! Even if she has matched you, she still thinks it’s just common courtesy for you to write her and do the first step. You need to win today’s women over!
The Desperate One: A desperate woman is most likely going to message you first and she is probably going to use phrases such as “hey, we have so many friends in common, so I kind of was forced to give you a like. Xoxo Mary”. Now the only thing you need to do to assure yourself a quick date is to simply use the right words. Tip: not using a vulgar language would be a good way to start!
The Wants-To-Get-Laid One: This type of woman is pretty obvious: you literally got her with “hello”! She is going to use double entendres right after that. These kinds of women are rare to find, but if you do find one, trust us, your plans for the night are saved!

Tinder Tips
The Single Mom: You are going to recognize that kind of a woman very quickly. Out of six photos at least three are with her kids. Convincing her to go on a date with you isn’t that difficult. But one thing is for sure, this type of a woman will most likely only talk about her kids.
The Animal Lover: The first thing you will see on her profile is a photo of her with her dog, cat or horse. According to that you can be sure, that she has been single for a while, and her pets are giving her more support in life than any men ever had. Convincing such women to go on a first date with you isn’t always that easy. But if it happens, chances are given that she may be a bit nuts…
The No-One-Night-Stands One: Caution! Danger! Do not match! She is looking for a serious relationship! There is too much effort needed to get her laid!
The Looking-For-Travel-Mate One: Tinder is actually supposed to be a dating-app, so due to that the message of men using tinder for sex dates only, hasn’t reached every single woman out there. So there is not much of a chance for a spontaneous sex date with those kinds of women on Tinder.
