Problem: Article: When you're beginning to establish your film production company, consider initially producing short films. Short films are brief films, usually 10 to 15 minutes in length, that are cheaper and quicker to produce. Many big film festivals, such as Sundance and South by Southwest, have a short film category. If your film does well at a festival, you can potentially get noticed by an agent. Your production company may be able to get funding or theater distribution for bigger projects. The internet provides exciting new opportunities for young filmmakers. You can upload your content for free on YouTube and, if you generate a following, you may get your content picked up for television. Make sure to include your production company name at the end of all your videos. This way, you'll help people remember your company. Copyright content before posting it online. This will prevent your content from begin stolen. One of the best ways for production companies to get noticed early on is to apply for festivals.

Problem: Article: One of the main ways in which low testosterone can manifest is as a low sexual desire and/or reduced spontaneous erections, or trouble with erections overall. Testosterone naturally declines in men as they age (testosterone levels decrease by about 1% per year after the age of 30 or 40). However, if you are noticing a significant decline in your sexual function, it is advisable to speak to your doctor about the possibility that you may have low testosterone. Sexual function is measured by the frequency of your orgasms and sexual satisfaction. Low testosterone can also lead to problems sleeping and even insomnia. It may cause heightened daytime fatigue and an overall reduced energy level. If you notice these things happening to you, book an appointment with your family doctor, as they may be correlated with reduced or low testosterone. Low testosterone may contribute to depression, irritability, and/or difficulty concentrating. Testosterone plays a significant role in controlling mood and emotional states. Therefore, if you feel "off" emotionally and like your moods have declined, there is the possibility that this is related to low testosterone. One study showed that testosterone can function as an antidepressant in men with depression and low testosterone. If you have unexplained hair loss or an unusual decline in your body's strength and muscle mass along with an increase in fat mass, this may be a sign that your testosterone levels are low. It is not a guarantee that the two are correlated, but it is worth exploring with your family doctor.
Summary: Observe changes to your sexual function. Make note of changes to your sleep and energy levels. Be aware of changes to your mood. Notice changes to your physical body.

Problem: Article: Place the venison roast in your slow cooker. Pour 2 cups (500 ml) of beef broth over it evenly. If you do not have beef broth, you could use venison stock, beef stock, chicken stock, or vegetable broth. In a pinch, you could even use water. Cut the butter into small chunks and distribute it evenly over the surface of the roast. If the butter has been softened, smear it over the top and sides of the meat. If the butter is still hard, however, simply distribute the chunks of butter over the surface as evenly as possible to distribute the flavor. Combine the garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and rosemary in a small bowl. Sprinkle this blend of spices and herbs evenly over the top and sides of the roast. If you want the seasonings to penetrate the meat even further, consider using your hands to rub the seasoning blend into the meat. This works best if you are also using softened butter since you can spread both the butter and the seasonings over the surface at the same time. Spread the diced onion over the top of the roast. Layer the cubed potatoes and chopped carrots on top, as well. Even if you choose not to prepare the roast with vegetables, you should still add the onion. Many people claim that the pungent onion flavor masks the "gamey" taste of a deer roast. If you prefer crisp, firm vegetables, you can wait until the final 2 hours of cooking time before adding the cubed potatoes and chopped carrots. The onion should always be added at this time, however. Cover the slow cooker and switch it to low. A thawed roast should take about 8 hours, but a frozen or partially frozen roast will need a full 10 hours. Alternatively, you could switch the slow cooker on high and leave it for 6 hours. Once the roast has finished cooking, remove it from the slow cooker and carve it into portion-sized chunks. Serve the potatoes and carrots on the side.
Summary:
Place the roast and broth in the slow cooker. Cover the roast with butter. Add the seasonings. Add the vegetables. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Serve warm.
