Losing your hair can be a traumatic experience. A 2013 study from Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin -- one of the largest and most prestigious teaching hospitals in Europe -- found that hair loss can have a devastating impact on an individual, and could even cause body dysmorphic disorder. Now, Men's interest site Man Cave Daily is likening the experience of losing one's hair to the Kübler-Ross model, which is more commonly known as the Five Stages of Grief. According to the site, the five stages of hair loss are denial, resentment, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Initially, men deny that they're losing their hair, thinking it'll just pass and that they're not actually losing their hair permanently. Eventually, once men realize that their hair isn't coming back, they begin...

Researchers recently discovered a new way to diagnose attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, in patients. According to an August 14 PsychCentral article, researchers at Tel Aviv University have found that monitoring involuntary eye movements in patients is an accurate way to diagnose ADHD. This method of diagnosis is the first physiological diagnostic tool for ADHD, which is a disorder that inhibits one's ability to focus, among other symptoms. It is also the most diagnosed and misdiagnosed disorder in the U.S., according to PsychCentral. "Often my ADHD coaching clients are misdiagnosed and they end up taking medication for something they don't have," says Coach Juli of CoachJuli.com. "It makes sense that rapid eye movements would be a sign since the ADHD brain is typi...

X Factor and former American Idol judge Simon Cowell recently posted on Twitter the most adorable selfie with his six month old son Eric Cowell. The two sported Cowell's favorite iconic designer Ray Ban sunglasses on his luxury yacht on Wednesday August 13 as he and his girlfriend Lauren Silverman enjoyed the scenery. Cowell just recently became a first-time father when little Eric was born this past Valentine's Day. The 54 year-old British music critic sensation enjoys his privacy, but this picture was too cute to keep to himself and had to share it with his followers. Cowell is usually spotted wearing his Ray Bans while on the go and seems to be teaching his son Eric how to be a suave Hollywood star. Sunglasses first become popular during the 1930's when actors and actresses would ...

How often should you be reapplying bug spray? The U.S. government is rolling out new product labeling for bug spray in order tohelp Americans reduce their likelihood of developing the illnesses that insects like mosquitoes and ticks spread from person to person. The updated graphic will indicate just how long consumers should expect bug spray to protect them from biting outdoor insects. It was developed by the Environmental Protection Agency, and will start showing up in stores next year, giving bug spray companies time to adjust accordingly. Although bug-spray manufacturers are not required to change their labels, if they do want to showcase the new graphic, they will need to submit data to the government showing that the product will actually work for as long as the graphic claims ...

If you drive to and from work every day and have to commute through a densely-packed highway, you're probably all too familiar with that feeling of envy as drivers in the HOV lane whiz by you (or, if you carpool with others, you may be one of those lucky passengers who gets to smile at all of those unfortunate souls as you casually drive by). But there may be a new way to get a coveted pass for the HOV lane, and no, we aren't talking about a life-sized doll that looks uncannily human. In many urban areas, fuel-efficient and hybrid-electric vehicles are being allowed into these lanes. High occupancy lanes are pretty standard these days on busy highways, and the purpose of HOV lanes is to reduce traffic congestion and fuel emissions by only allowing cars with two or more passengers, motor...

Many people enjoy spending time out on the water. Either they can go swimming, or they can buy a boat or yacht. However, you cannot have a water vehicle simply suspended in the middle of the water; you need to have a dock to attach it to. Many people are under the impression that you just need to rent the space from someone else or the city. It is not something that you can purchase for yourself as a separate unit, but something that you have to use that is already there. However, this is not necessarily the case. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXenl-ANHXA&ab_channel=SeaPortMarine In actuality, there are many custom docks that are available for people who want to purchase them. For example, you might be interested in a portable lake dock or a rubber floating dock that you can use on t...

Modern technology has made bicycles, especially the kind found in races like the Tour de France, much lighter than they used to be. But these new lightweight frames constructed from carbon fiber composites are causing major problems for professional and amateur riders alike. Carbon fiber became popular a few years ago after Greg LeMond, a three-time Tour de France winner, used this material for his bicycle's frame. The lightweight material contributes to the, strength, speed and aerodynamics of the bikes for their riders. Yet the bikes' tough but featherweight construction comes with a serious hazard for riders: the carbon fiber tubing in the bicycles' frames (and, more recently, wheels) does not bend the way steel and aluminum tubes bend. Instead, the frames and wheels can shatter, ...

The divorce trial of Harold Hamm, the billionaire CEO of one of the most profitable oil drillers in the United States, begins Monday, August 4, 2014 in Oklahoma City. The trial is expected to focus on whether or not Hamm worked to earn the $19 billion he gained over the course of his 26-year marriage, or whether it was the result of pure luck. This question will help determine the settlement the court awards to Hamm's ex-wife, Sue Ann, which has the potential to be one of the largest divorce judgments ever. Hamm is the founder of Continental Resources, a profitable oil drilling company which operates out of the Bakken Shale formation in the Northwestern part of the United States. While Oklahoma County judge Howard Haralson has already ruled that Hamm's assets from before his 1988 marria...

A recent double-blind study has shown that the polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres in collagen are effective for treating atrophic facial acne scars. Acne scarring has long been a problem that plagues many current or former acne sufferers, and yet there is no foolproof treatment. Atrophic acne scars in particular are depressed or pitted scars caused by the loss of tissue. These scars are particularly difficult to cover superficially. Polymethylmethacrylate microspheres in collagen have been previously shown to be a beneficial treatment for nasolabial folds, so a study was conducted to examine other possible benefits. Collagen effects the strength, elasticity, and healing of the skin, so it's possible this same treatment could have a multitude of other benefits as well. In the ...

What if the couch in your living room could instantly turn into a bed when you have guests staying the night? Apparently, as CNN reports, the furniture of the future might be able to do just that. A new type of "robot furniture" is being developed and tested at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, and this furniture may actually be able to change itself according to your changing needs.The furniture, called a "Roombot," consists multiple modules which each have a battery, three motors for pivoting, and a wireless connection so that the owner can send virtual instructions which dictate which piece of furniture is needed. Multiple modules would be connected to create one piece of furniture, and at 22 cm each, the designers of the Roombot say that about 10 modules would be needed to cre...
