Fast forward to today, and an average Joe can have one running in minutes. There are now a lot of companies providing website services, driving costs down on the part of consumers. Making it even better, some of these companies are generous enough to let you have a website without paying anything. However, it's not everyone who knows how to get a free website. Besides, having a lot of companies that provide the same thing can leave you confused and not knowing which one to choose. Actually, if you are not careful, you can end up paying a high price for something that was advertised as free. This book will act as your guide to getting a free website. But, as you may know, free usually comes at a cost. So, we will look at the pros and cons of going down this road. I will then show you how easy it can be to set up a free website. But, since a website will do nothing on its own, I will also give you tips on how you can increase traffic with great content, SEO, and other methods. I'm sure you will find this book useful, so without wasting any more time, let's get started, because a free website awaits you.

Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu ( 18 January 1689 - 10 February 1755), generally referred to as simply Montesquieu, was a French judge, man of letters, and political philosopher.He is famous for his articulation of the theory of separation of powers, which is implemented in many constitutions throughout the world. He is also known for doing more than any other author to secure the place of the word "despotism" in the political lexicon. Biography: Montesquieu was born at the Château de la Brède in southwest France, 25 kilometres (16 mi) south of Bordeaux. His father, Jacques de Secondat, was a soldier with a long noble ancestry. His mother, Marie Françoise de Pesnel, who died when Charles was seven, was an heiress who brought the title of Barony of La Brède to the Secondat family. After the death of his mother he was sent to the Catholic College of Juilly, a prominent school for the children of French nobility, where he remained from 1700 to 1711. His father died in 1713 and he became a ward of his uncle, the Baron de Montesquieu. He became a counselor of the Bordeaux Parliament in 1714. In 1715 he married Jeanne de Lartigue, a Protestant, who eventually bore him three children. The Baron died in 1716, leaving him his fortune as well as his title, and the office of Président à Mortier in the Bordeaux Parliament. Montesquieu's early life occurred at a time of significant governmental change. England had declared itself a constitutional monarchy in the wake of its Glorious Revolution (1688-89), and had joined with Scotland in the Union of 1707 to form the Kingdom of Great Britain. In France the long-reigning Louis XIV died in 1715 and was succeeded by the five-year-old Louis XV. These national transformations had a great impact on Montesquieu; he would refer to them repeatedly in his work.Montesquieu withdrew from the practice of law to devote himself to study and writing. He achieved literary success with the publication of his Lettres persanes (Persian Letters, 1721), a satire representing society as seen through the eyes of two imaginary Persian visitors to Paris and Europe, cleverly criticizing the absurdities of contemporary French society. He next published Considérations sur les causes de la grandeur des Romains et de leur décadence (Considerations on the Causes of the Grandeur and Decadence of the Romans, 1734).................. John Davidson (11 April 1857 - 23 March 1909) was a Scottish poet, playwright and novelist, best known for his ballads.He also did translations from French and German. In 1909, financial difficulties, as well as physical and mental health problems, led to his suicide. Life and works: Scotland He was born at Barrhead, East Renfrewshire as the son of Alexander Davidson, an Evangelical Union minister and Helen née Crocket of Elgin. His family removed to Greenock in 1862 where he was educated at Highlanders' Academy there and entered the chemical laboratory of Walker's Sugarhouse refinery in his 13th year, returning after one year to school as a pupil teacher. In Public Analysts' Office, 1870-71. In these employments he developed an interest in science which became an important characteristic of his poetry.In 1872 he returned for four years to the Highlanders' Academy as a pupil-teacher, and, after a year at Edinburgh University (1876-77), received in 1877 his first scholastic employment at Alexander's Charity, Glasgow. During the next six years he held positions in the following schools: Perth Academy (1878-81), Kelvinside Academy, Glasgow (1881-82), and Hutchinson's Charity, Paisley (1883-84). He varied his career by spending a year as clerk in a Glasgow thread firm (1884-85), and subsequently taught in Morrison's Academy, Crieff (1885-88), and in a private school at Greenock (1888-89). Married 1885.....

Introduction to Stocks and Soups - Learning more about Healthy Soups and Stock Making Table of Contents Introduction What Goes in the Stockpot How to Prevent Stock from Turning Sour How to Make Good Stock Brown Stock White Stock How to make A Meat Glaze Making Perfect Soup Soup Classifications Food Value of Thick and Clear Soups Essentials of a Well-Prepared Soup Why Does the Consistency Vary? Color Liaison Varieties of Liaison Tips When Using Liaisons Roux Proportions of Ingredients for Liaison Consommé Broth Blanching Traditional Mutton Broth Purées Vegetable Purées Pulse purées Pea or Lentil Soup Thick Soups Cream Soups Tapioca Soup Bisques Lobster Bisque How to Sieve Soup Properly Conclusion Author Bio- Introduction Nobody knows when human beings began to make stocks and soups from meat and vegetables. This secret is lost in the mist of the ages. Stock is a liquid which is obtained when you boil vegetable or meat over heat for a long time. This is going to contain some of the most important and soluble nutrients and flavoring constituents of the foods which have undergone the boiling process. These nutrients have been extracted by prolonged and gentle simmering. http: //www.123rf.com/photo_14885901_vegetable-soup.html Such a liquid is the foundation of soups, sauces and gravies in cuisines all over the world. The ancient Romans regarded a really good cook as a pearl beyond compare. Only he knew all about the herbs and spices which he was going to use in making a stock which would be then be used to make a gravy on which emperors would dine. So is it a wonder that the first part of learning cookery is to know how to make a good stock. The method of preparation is based upon the solvent action of the water and the prolonged application of moderate and moist heat. The gelatinous, lean and muscular tissue parts of the meat with a certain proportion of bone are most suitable to make the stock. In ancient times, people who could not afford better cuts of meat, which went to the rich had to make do with the leftovers which were bones and pieces of lean meat. So it is natural that they tried to make these pieces very tasty by first boiling them in water. Then they added some herbs and some vegetables and then they added any available in gradient which could add to the rich flavor and aroma of something being cooked slowly on a fire. Lo and behold, the first stock was made with the slow simmering of all these ingredients mixed together. The importance of soup all over the world, especially in folklore cannot be disregarded. You may want to enjoy the traditional stories here about soup, from different parts of the world. http: //www.pitt.edu/ dash/type1548.html#stonesoup Herbs and spices are not generally used for meat stock, nowadays though they were used in ancient times. Also, today they are added with discretion in fish and vegetable stocks, but like I said, in ancient times, everything went into the cooking pot and was stewed for a long time, before fed to a hungry family. The vegetables should be fresh, not necessarily young and expensive and the trimmings and coarse stalks can be utilized. Ages ago, the food gatherer went hunting for roots, edible vegetables and other greens in the woods, and all of them were added to the cooking pot. Each portion of the plant including roots, shoots, and leaves, stems, flowers and bark if edible were utilized. The vegetables generally used for making stock are carrots, onions, turnip and celery. Make sure that no flavor predominates. Turnip and celery, if it is old is particularly strong and should not be used in large quantities. Vegetables are very absorbent of meaty flavors. That is why they should not remain too long in the stock while it is cooking. This is the same reason why cooks do not let them steep for long in the stock, after the stock has been removed from the fire.

Table of Contents Introduction What is a raccoon? How do raccoons act? Where do raccoons live? The history of raccoons and humans Extinct raccoons Crab-eating raccoon and Cozumel raccoon Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Raccoons are often referred to as little bandits due to the 'mask' on their face. And in some ways, this is a good description. They do indeed take things from human garbage and scavenge. But there is so much more to the raccoon. The raccoon has not always been a scavenger of human trash, and that is definitely not their only role. They are interesting creatures full of history and quirks, and have long been part of native cultures in North America. There is less variety to the raccoon than other creatures, such as dogs or cats, but there is a uniqueness to it. The raccoon is an ingrained part of American, Canadian, and other North American cultures.

Once you are familiar with its roots, we explain the precise methodology, using several references of various sites and amalgamating the accurate ones. Oil pulling has several benefits, as you will come to know, but what is important to understand is that oil pulling is not a magic potion that will heal everything.

However, the benefits outweigh the problems, as you will find that there are no side effects to this natural technique and all it need is your time and regularity. We will also go through the diseases that these bad bacteria spread in an unclean mouth so that you can see how serious the complete picture actually is and how crucial the cleanliness of your mouth is. We conclude by giving you multiple oil using options and their benefits and our final opinion on oil pulling, the magical technique.

Table of Contents Going Solo Travel Safety Tips for Women Introduction Getting Prepared to Travel Traveling Internationally When to Call Your Embassy for Help? Potential Trouble Situations Dress Code What to Have in Your Purse? Woman Safety App Money Money Money While on a Journey In an Unknown Neighborhood Parleying in the Local Lingo Harassment Harassed by Flirts Silence is Golden Meeting New Acquaintances Driving Rules Travel Plans Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Going Solo... Thanks to the world shrinking due to more advanced transport facilities, more and more women are taking the first step of traveling to other countries and exploring the new cultures, and horizons open to them. It is the first step outside your own safe and secure circle, which is rather daunting. So for most of us Going solo is not something which people normally do because let me tell you frankly, I have noticed that a number of my women friends, colleagues and acquaintances consider any sort of traveled to be a bore. Who really wants to undergo the hassle of being a woman all lonesome on her own traveling to a strange country or city? Traveling all alone in your own country or abroad, - you must be joking, DJ. This attitude was rather surprising, because I took travelling alone to be a part and parcel of my own lifestyle, while growing up and I definitely did not have any hassle in picking up my small travelling bag and catching my train, all alone on a long journey, even when I was 15. But then I was just going from one known destination to another known destination. So I did not bother much about the safety aspects, then, because I knew both destinations well. So for me, at that time, Going solo was the rule, and not an exception. But things changed later, while working. It was a different matter altogether. I never knew when the call would come from the top for me to get myself to such and such place by such and such time to attend such and such a meeting or meet XYZ. At that time, I always had a bag packed in a corner because I never knew when I had to drop everything and fly down to all corners of the compass on official duty. Sometimes I had my team of colleagues and juniors with me. Sometimes I was needed to go alone. And half of them just hated the idea of traveling because they were not used to it. Even when tickets, hotel stay, transport and all other facilities were laid out for them, they just did not want to go and see a brand-new place and experience a brand-new culture. How much they have missed out of life. This book is for all those adventurous souls who want to go out somewhere and experience new experiences, but there always daunted by the thought that it is not safe for women to travel anywhere in their own country or outside. And definitely not traveling solo in this world full of crime, and xenophobia. This book is to explode some of those myths. This book is also going to give you lots of useful information about safety tips for women traveling alone, based on my experiences, as well as the experiences of my other peripatetic friends. Also, there are some amusing anecdotes and episodes recounted to me by my well-traveled father, which may not exactly touch on safety, but can touch on some of the experiences that you may face when visiting a new country! So let the adventure begin.

Table of Contents Introduction Glasshouses, Greenhouses and Hot Houses Cloches and the Greenhouse Effect Watering under Cloches Choosing the Right Site Time to Sow Some Easily Grown vegetables under Glass Tomatoes Cucumbers General Bed Making Tip Mushrooms Dwarf Beans and French Beans Carrots and Radishes Lettuces Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction The first time I saw a glass greenhouse in a mountain area, where the weather was very harsh, and still vegetables were being grown under such inclement conditions, I began to wonder - how many of us can really afford a glass greenhouse, especially when the materials are so expensive. That is why I am writing this book to tell you about how you can use cloches and glass in your vegetable garden, and get plenty of fresh vegetables all the year round, even when it is -10° outside. Glass covers to force vegetables and fruit much before their normal, natural seasonal harvest time, as well as protection have been in long usage for centuries. It has been noticed that tomatoes are one of the best of all indoor crops for even a newbie gardener and if you are growing them under glass, they are going to be of a higher quality than those grown outdoors. Also, the harvest is going to be earlier than the one which you are going to expect from your outdoor crop. Remember that when you are making a glass house, you are giving your plants an opportunity to grow in a temperature which, though artificially controlled is making an atmosphere as if they are growing outside, in one particular season. I have already written a book about Introduction to Sustainable Greenhouse Gardening http: //www.amazon.com/Introduction-Sustainable-Greenhouse-GardeningGrowing/dp/1511775696/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440090110&sr=8-1&keywords=greenhouse+gardening+dueep, for all those people who like constructing things in their garden for protecting their plants and growing out of season things, even in winter. This book is going to give you more information, about the types of vegetables you can grow in these glasshouses - under glass - or under cloches, where you are going to get the greenhouse effect in a limited space.

Introduction Chronic Fatigue Syndrome What Is a Burnout? Symptoms of Burnout Reasons for Burnout Wonder Woman (or Man)! Tackling Negative Feelings Tips to Manage Potential Burnout Simplify Emotional Demands Slowing Things down Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Stress is definitely not accommodated to be modern phenomenon. Man has been suffering from tension and stress, often down the millenniums and ancient medical treatises have spoken about different ways of curing mental strain, stress and tension. If you did not have soothing lotions to apply on your forehead, in ancient times in order to relax yourself, you could always de - stress yourself with a cup of "red red wine". Unfortunately, that habit and tendency has continued down the ages and alcohol has become the most popular and common medium in order to get rid of tension and stress. Human beings already have a habit of biting off more than they can chew, just to prove something to themselves, or to prove something to the world. And when they find themselves incapable of achieving their goals, not only is this going to lead to self-doubt and possible low self-esteem, but they are also going to find themselves feeling stressed out and tense. Just look around you. How many of your colleagues, friends, acquaintances, relatives and enemies are showing symptoms of stress? Take the example of any of your friends who are really ambitious. They want to scale the heights of success in their professional life. They want to prove to their parents, family, and the world that they are the best, and the rest can go jump. They going to be confirmed workaholics. They may not have time to party, because relaxing is taboo, until they make their first billion. They are also perfectionists who want to excel at everything they are definitely not going to add the fact that they are human and capable of making as many errors as their colleagues or employees. Whether it is a project which has to be completed before an official deadline, or an official party, which they are going to organize, they are going to bend over backwards trying to create what is perfect by their own standards.

Table of Contents Introduction: Drawing a Dinosaur Drawing tools Drawing Software Dinosaur Heads T-rex Dilophosaurus Pachycephalosaurus Theropods Spinosaurus Ornithopods Parasaurolophus Armored Dinosaurs Stegosaurs Ankylosaurias Ankylosaurus Ceratopsian Triceratops Publisher Introduction: Drawing a Dinosaur In order to have a good start in learning how to draw a dinosaur or anything for this matter, you should know the basics of visually describing a form. You should know how to follow through the contour planes or dimensions of any basic shapes to effectively portray the subject. Observe how the reference lines travel across the body of the figure and how the depiction of its skin texture or any other details follows the dimensions. How you apply the shades also matters when you want to portray texture and dimensions. It is also better to know how to create the most basic form of the subject to properly depict a proportionate figure and identify if there is anything wrong or missing in your outline before you finalize a drawing. This tutorial will include a careful process of establishing the main outline of the figure, erasing unnecessary line works and redefining, layering the colors and shades according to its value, and correcting errors along the way. The proportions may differ from subject to subject, even if it's from the same genus (no matter how little, subtle differences will matter in the long run), so I advice you to have image preferences and observe them before you do your own. Depictions of dinosaurs may vary from artists to artists since their existence is solely based on fossils, and so it's up to your creativity to fill up whatever subtle parts and elements might be missing to depict the image of an animal that is barely known.

These same people would be wrong. The truth of the matter is sheep are cute and wooly, but as for being dumb...while it is true that some breeds of sheep are less resilient than others and don't do very well in the mothering department, the word 'trusting' is a much more appropriate adjective to describe these wonderful (yes, wonderful!) animals.

Peacocks for Kids Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1 Fascinating Peacocks Chapter 2 Peacock's Features Chapter 3 A Peacock's Life Conclusion Fun Peacock Facts! Author Bio Introduction Peacocks are a magnificent species from the Pheasant family of birds. The Pavo Cristatus or Indian Peafowl is a large bird. It is well-known for their beautiful, bright tails in dazzling colors and hues! Have you ever seen one? The Pheasant family of birds includes partridges, chickens, jungle fowls, quails and of course the peafowl. This species comes from South Asia and today, Peacocks are found in places like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Western China and India among others. Another variation of the bird is found in Burma and in the lush African Rainforests, the Congo Peacock is happy living under the stars. Sadly, this species has not been seen for years, but it just may pop up one day again! Did you know only males are actually Peacocks? So what are females called? The female species of this bird is a Peahen and when both (or a group) are together they are known as: Peafowls. And the babies? They are known as Peachicks! Life expectancy is usually between 15 - 20 years. But there is a record of a bird living in captivity for 23 years. It is interesting to note that in this species the male really dazzles, but the female is more subdued. How so? Males are the ones with the bright plumage and long impressive train or tail. Some females have no train and although their neck area has beautiful greenish feathers, their plumage is mostly a dull brown. Peacocks live off the ground. They are known as "ground feeders" according to National Geographic. This means their food is found-you guessed it- on the ground! They eat things like berries, grains, insects and even small animals like lizards, rodents (Small) and snakes. For thousands of years Peacocks have been admired for their plumage and personality. Have you ever heard of the term 'Proud as a Peacock?' A writer who lived many years ago used this phrase (Written as Proud a Pekok - by Chaucer in Troilus & Criseyde) to describe personality traits. This term stuck in everyone's mind and when we use this phrase, we may think of a proud or ostentatious person. There is no doubt Peacocks are unique and distinctive. But in some places they are more than just a bird. Did you know this bird is sacred to many people especially in India? In the Hindu religion this beautiful bird is revered for its tail, which symbolizes the 'eyes of the gods.' Ultimately, Peacocks are amazing birds and a beautiful part of nature's wonders!

The Magic of Coconuts For Cooking and Health Table of Contents Introduction The Power of Coconut Oil Which Coconuts To Plant Coconut Birdhouse Growing of Coconuts in a Nursery Where to Grow a Coconut Harvesting coconuts. Other Uses of Coconuts How to Make Coconut Butter Coconut Cream and Coconut Milk Coconut Cream Coconut Milk Comes First How to Make Coconut Cream Last Longer Coconuts in Cuisine Indonesian Chili Chicken Simple Coconut Chutney Traditional South Indian Coconut Chutney Traditional Coconut Pudding Conclusion Author Bio Introduction The moment you hear the word "nut" you visualize a small, well, nut with a hard shell, which needs to be removed. So how did the coconut get to be called a nut, when it is definitely not a nut, but a drupe? Whether drupe or nut, the name Coco was given to this native of South America, by Spanish explorers, because they thought that it resembled the face of a monkey [Coco.] In fact, the eyes as well as the hairy appearance of the enough, made them think of a monkey, but in ancient eastern mythology, it was considered to be the face of Lord Shiva the destroyer in Hindu mythology who had three eyes For generations, the coconut has been considered to be the tree of life, because it has provided people down the ages, with everything they wished. Oil, juice, food to eat in the shape of coconut meat, coconut milk and everything nourishing, which you can get from the coconut is readily available at hand. All you have to do is climb the tree like a Coco and gather coconuts. Did you know that more than one third of the world subsists on coconuts for survival? Many Countries have based their economies on coconut products. And that is why, in many parts of the East, cutting down the coconut tree is taboo, because of its spiritual, emotional, and traditional associated bond with human beings. Coconuts are extremely rich in minerals, vitamins and in fiber. Doctors in coastal areas know that they do not have to worry about any harm coming to victims of typhoons and epidemics, as long as they are coconuts around. Asian, Eastern and Pacific cultures have long use the products of coconut, for healing and curing, especially in alternative medicines. Coconut oil is considered to be the best moisturizer as well as healing base for medical preparations since ancient times. So everything from massaging to conditioning your hair and making beauty cosmetics from coconut have been a part of Eastern, Pacific and Asian culture for millenniums. The West has finally woken up to the medical and healing potential of the coconut and its products. Thanks to extensive research being done in the UK and in the USA, people have got to know all about the healing power of the coconut. However, it was only when Jennifer Aniston was seen in the supermarket with lots of coconuts, that it began to become really popular in America as a healthy food item. Until then, it was just used as a hair conditioner or a skin moisturizer and in other natural beauty preparations. Nobody can suffer from malnutrition or dehydration, if you have a coconut tree around. It is surprising how recently modern research has found out that coconuts are both antiviral and antibacterial. In ancient Eastern medicine, people knew how to cure throat infections, mouth infections, bladder and urinary infections, kidney related diseases, influenza, pneumonia and other diseases caused by bacteria, viruses and fungi for millenniums. In fact, if you had a tree of life in your garden, you would live almost as long as did the tree. That is because you were eating itself the fruit, which would keep you healthy and with a strong autoimmune system throughout your life.

However, in the last two millenniums of civilization, the wide-open spaces have become congested into concrete jungles and the open gardens have been shrunk into pocket handkerchiefs - sized backyards. So is it a surprise that more and more people who are interested in gardening are looking for alternative ways and places in which they can grow flowers, trees, shrubs, and herbs of their own choice. And that is why container gardening, especially gardens grown in pots and containers have been a godsend for a majority of people down the ages.

These herbs used for millenniums have been an important part of our social traditional and religious fabrics all over the world. No one, without an interest in nature is not going to know more about Rosemary, sage, lavender, thyme, hyssop, basil, and other herbs put into use down the centuries. The awareness of the medical as well as the edible qualities of herbs, was naturally gained in prehistoric days by happy and sad experience. When food was nasty tasting or scarce, the pungent herbs made it more delicious and acceptable to eat. Leafy herbs provided vegetables and salads. Soon people began to find out that some herbs would also heal wounds and ease suffering. So that means that even the herbs that we supposedly used for culinary purposes could be used for healing purposes. In 460 B.C. Greeks were writing about the curative powers of plants. In the East, these herbs were used in alternative medicine, through medical books and compendiums written more than 5000 years ago. In Europe, all medical treatment based on herbs was done, thanks to a book written by Dioscorides in A.D. 60. In ancient Europe, The Greeks, Egyptians and the Romans could not do without their herbs. Culinary delights, especially the blending of sauces, which were made of flowers, herbs, spices and wines were possibly started in a Greek country named Sybaris, from where we get the term "sybarite", or a person who enjoys pleasure. They were the people who made sleeping on rose petals, a fashion. All the herbs and the flowers which were used to keep the Sybarites happy were grown in the gardens in the plains of Possidonia and you can still see them today. The regular use of a large variety of flowers and herbs for medical and culinary purposes has just come down the ages to us since ancient times. However, in the early - mid-19th century with the rise of industrialization, the popularity of herbs began to grow lesser, because people started to clear up large tracts of lands on which herbs grew, to give way to cities and human settlements. In fact, one great forest in the USA, Limberlost made popular in the writings of a writer and naturalist, Gene Stratton Porter was totally destroyed due to the felling of timber. If Teddy Roosevelt was not such an ardent and dedicated naturalist, many of the great green forest areas of the USA, which are now natural forest reserves, with herbs still present in them, would have been destroyed through man's encroachment and greed. So apart from these herbs still available in the wilderness, this book is going to tell you how to make an Herb gardening your own house. Thanks to the revival of interest and appreciation of herbs in the 21st century to heal and to cure and to beautify you, people with gardens are realizing the beauty of herbal plants. They are also learning the added pleasure of growing them in their garden, so that they can use these herbs freshly picked. People living in flats are raising these herbs on windowsills by planting them in window boxes. In town gardens, you can grow them in wooden tubs, boxes, and even in large pots on balconies and in your backyards.

She just used the things that were closest at hand. These included fruits, vegetables, and spices. These also included natural products like Fullers earth, oatmeal, honey, yogurt, etc. It was only in the 19th century that she began to use glycerin as an additive in natural products. Until then all her beauty recipes were passed on to her, from her grandmother, and so on down the ages. She also used to make hair pomades for grandpa, in Elizabethan times using animal fat. No wonder, grandpa did not bother much about the smelly atmosphere surrounding him in his house or outside, because after all, his scalp, and unwashed body stank as powerfully as his surroundings. Also, she painted her face with lead oxide and chalk powder in order to imitate the pale complexion of Queen Elizabeth, but that lead oxide was extremely poisonous and give her a very short life span. But then, she was just imitating her ancient Roman and Greek ancestresses who use a mixture of calcium carbonate, chalk and lead oxide to paint their faces, and then redden her lips with a red paint made up of clay and red iron oxide. In fact, this red paint on the lips was the prerogative of the Empress and her aristocratic friends in ancient Rome, though Greek women of all classes used it regularly. Also, it was allowed on women of the street in Rome. Virtuous Roman matrons never painted their lips, even though Plautus said that a woman without paint is like food without salt! Wonder about the company he kept. One really enterprising Italian Signora Toffana thought up a face powder, which would consist of chalk and arsenic. She gave her woman clients instructions to use this powder upon their faces, only when they were in the company of their husbands. When the number of husbands dying due to arsenic poisoning began to escalate, the signora was executed, but she left behind a number of very wealthy and happy widow clients. In Italy during the Middle Ages, it was fashionable to have a white skin, but golden hair was best achieved with a little bit of sun bleaching. So the ladies applied lemon juice all over their hair, and put on a wide brimmed hat to cover their faces. This wide brimmed hat, however, did not have any top. The hair was allowed to flow out of the open top, and bleach in the sun! Egyptian ladies in ancient Egypt used egg whites and honey keep their skins youthful, butter and powdered barley to prevent and remove blemishes in their skin, and all that harsh effect of the Egyptian sun, neutralized with a mixture of milk and honey applied on their faces every day. In fact, I use cream and honey with a pinch of salt, every evening.

Table of Contents Introduction Prejudice and biased thinking The Idea of "Househusband" Traditional Conventional Duties of Man Joint Families and Nuclear Families Allocation of Duties Changing Roles Changes in the Urban Social Landscape Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Once upon a time, the role of a woman in society was to be a daughter, wife and mother and take care of the house. It was the job of the man to earn bread to bring up the family, because he was the provider, while the mother was the nurturer and caregiver. Even today, even though we have moved up to the twenty first century, there are plenty of retrogressive societies where woman is still supposed to play just one role - her responsibility is taking care of the house, and the children while the man goes out and works. In fact, I have read a number of books, where the image of the woman as the little woman taking care of kinder [children] and kitchen is still ingrained right in the minds of people because they have been brought up to think that way.
