Article: Learning the basic facts about an organization is an important first step to conducting an accurate and thorough investigation. You should begin your search by reading what the company writes about itself.  A nonprofit’s own website is a good place to start gathering information. Nonprofit websites generally provide extensive background information on the charity and its programs, as well as financial summaries and tax filing information. Contact the organization directly and request written information on its charitable activities and finances. Reputable charities already have this type of information prepared and ready to send out. Secretaries of State, Departments of State, Attorney Generals, or Consumer Services Departments may have important information on a nonprofit organization. Government agencies maintain information for nonprofits that registered to do business in the state, are required to register as a charity under state law, or  became a legal entity, such as an LLC, in a particular state. Many of these government agencies offer searchable databases for consumers to obtain information on registered business entities and/or nonprofits. For a list of state-by-state searchable databases for corporations and secretary of state websites visit: http://www.coordinatedlegal.com/SecretaryOfState.html The National Directory of Nonprofit Organizations (NDNO) provides information on nonprofits with annual incomes of at least $25,000. You can usually find a copy of the NDNO at your local library. By searching the NDNO you may be able to determine the following information:  The name, mailing address, and phone number (when available) of the company; The company’s IRS filing status, including the IRS nonprofit category. The company’s employer identification number. The company’s reported annual income as set forth on its IRS form 990. You may also be able to search this database online if a library has a subscription to the company that manages the NDNO’s electronic database. The Encyclopedia of Associations provides detailed information on U.S. nonprofit organizations with a national scope. You can usually find a copy of the Encyclopedia at your local library. By searching the Encyclopedia you may be able to determine the following information:  The name and contact information for the organization. Information about company contacts, members and staff. Information about the company’s founding. The approximate annual budget. The number of regional, national and local groups affiliated with the company. You may also be able to search this database online if a library has a subscription to the company that manages the Encyclopedia’s electronic database. Nonprofit annual reports highlight the organization's mission and impact, thank volunteers and supporters, and make case for donating to the organization. Annual reports are one way an organization can be transparent and honest about what they have been doing the year before. They will document what was accomplished, what they fell short on, and what lies ahead. Most importantly, the annual report will include financial documents illustrating revenues and expenses. Read several years worth of reports to get an idea of how the organization's outlook has changed over time and the types of challenges they have faced.

Yogurt has the same kind of "good" bacteria that your vagina needs to stay healthy. You can replenish your body's bacteria by making yogurt part of your daily diet. Eating yogurt is a great way to both prevent and treat yeast infections.  Other foods besides yogurt also help your body in this way. Kimchi, kombucha, and other fermented foods can be substituted for yogurt if you aren't a big fan. Yogurt pills are also available if you'd prefer not to ingest yogurt on a daily basis. Cranberries, pineapples, strawberries, and other fruits help to freshen the smell of the liquids secreted by the vagina. Eating fruits won't exactly make your vagina smell fruity, but it can help you develop a more pleasant scent if that's something you're concerned about. Fruit also has a high water content, and staying hydrated helps flush the body of toxins that can lead to bad smells. Sugar can make a yeast infection worse, so it is important to limit or avoid excess sugar. Don't add sugar to your food, and check labels to identify foods that have added sugars. Also, steer clear of processed carbohydrates and alcohol since these are high in sugar. Garlic has properties that kill yeast, making it an effective tool for preventing and treating yeast infections. Eating cooked or raw garlic a few times a week is a great way to keep your vagina healthy. It has also been said to help get rid of bad vaginal odor. Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and the pubococcygeus muscle. These muscles tend to get looser and weaker with age and after giving birth. Strengthening them can help you avoid issues like urinary incontinence and also increase sexual pleasure. To do kegel exercises, follow these steps:  Locate your pelvic floor muscles. To do this, pretend you are stopping urination in midstream. The muscles you use to stop are the ones you are targeting with kegels. Tighten the muscles and hold for three seconds, then release. Repeat this 15 times. Continue doing kegel exercises daily, holding for longer and adding more repetitions as you gain control. The vagina is also strengthened through sexual activity and pleasure, since sex keeps it toned and elastic. Having regular intercourse is a good way to keep yourself in shape. Focus on tightening and releasing the vagina during sex to exercise the vagina as much as possible.  Try mula bandhas (practiced in yoga) to help strengthen your pelvic floor.  Using a vibrator can help you achieve the same effect. Jade eggs, vaginal cones, ben wa balls and vaginal barbells are also implements designed to exercise the vagina through "weight-lifting" techniques.
