Dr. Jason Fung is stopping by the blog today to share a bit about using adaptogens for stress. Enjoy, everybody—and be sure to share any questions you have on the comment board.
“Adaptogens.” Something about the word is reminiscent of Transformers—you know, those robots that look like a normal automobile or airplane—and then turn into something so much more powerful.
In truth, adaptogens aren’t that different from Transformers. They look like normal herbs, roots, and mushrooms. You’ll perhaps even recognize some of the adaptogens discussed in this article and will have eaten them before.
But adaptogens aren’t just normal plants and mushrooms. Research tells us that adaptogens can transform us into people who are less affected by stress.(1)
And, in the modern world, being less stressed certainly sounds like a superpower, right?
So, let’s take a research-based look at how adaptogens work and which ones you might try. We’ll focus in particular on the best adaptogens for stress reduction.
How It Works: Taking Adaptogens for Stress Reduction
It could be that you’re physically stressed from exercise, worn out from fighting off an illness, or emotionally stressed by a work-life balance issue. In any of these situations, adaptogens can help reduce cortisol levels, balance your hormones, and leave you feeling calmer.
In short, adaptogens help with stress reduction because they increase your tolerance for stress.
The reason adaptogens can assist with a broad range of stressors has to do with the mechanism by which they reduce stress. Rather than going to the specific site of our stress—an injured body part or rush hour traffic (wouldn’t that be nice?)—they go to work on our hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands. These are the parts of our anatomy that signal and respond to stress.
As a result of this interaction, our “fight or flight” response is less likely to be triggered by every little thing that is happening in our day. And our overall cortisol levels are less likely to skyrocket in response to modern-day stresses that don’t actually deserve a physical response (back to that rush hour traffic).
Conversely, chronically high stress levels—and chronically high cortisol—can lead to adrenal fatigue, digestive issues, and even premature aging. So, the fact that adaptogens can reduce stress is important on a physical level, not just an emotional one. Reducing stress can keep us younger and healthier.
5 Adaptogens That Will Help You with Stress Reduction
So, how do you go about incorporating adaptogens into your diet or supplement regimen? It’s actually pretty easy, and you will recognize some of the names of the adaptogens below. While all adaptogens will reduce your body’s stress response, they each have their own special qualities and methods for attacking stress.
Let’s discuss five adaptogens that you can easily get ahold of and why they might be a great addition to your daily health routine.
1. Chaga Mushroom
Chaga comes first in this list because of its broad spectrum of benefits. Chaga has been used for hundreds of years in a variety of Eastern European countries and may even have been used as far back as Roman times.
It is extremely high in antioxidants and is therefore known for its anti-aging properties. These same antioxidants may be behind chaga’s traditional use as a cancer treatment, as well.(2)
But chaga’s ability to boost the immune system (3) also means it has the benefit of stress reduction. How many of us have experienced the two-fronted attack of stress and illness? Don’t you always come down with the flu or a cold at the worst possible time? A 2011 study demonstrated that mice treated with chaga had an increased ability to fend off viruses and bacteria.(4)
This knobby looking root is one of the adaptogens you’re more likely to already be familiar with. Ginseng has trended in and out of fashion in the Western world, but in Traditional Chinese Medicine it has long been a powerful tool for reducing stress, anxiety, and mental fatigue.
There are many recent studies available that demonstrate ginseng’s status as one of the powerful adaptogens for stress reduction. Here are just a few:
- A 2003 study on rats found ginseng to be an effective strategy against chronic stress.(5)
- A 2010 study on a group of thirty human volunteers showed ginseng improved calmness.(6)
- A 2013 meta-analysis of both human and animal studies found ginseng to be an effective “actoprotector,” which means it can increase mental and physical performance. The meta-analysis authors suggested ginseng deserved further research regarding its ability to influence mental work capacity.(7)
Note: because ginseng can also be a natural energy-booster, it can be an effective way to kick a caffeine habit and switch to something more beneficial.
3. Reishi Mushroom
Reishi mushrooms have been used therapeutically for over two thousand years because of the multitude of benefits this mushroom imparts.
In China, reishi mushrooms are considered to symbolize “success, well-being, divine power, and longevity.” (8) On a more practical level, reishi mushrooms are a good source of all nine essential amino acids. (9) This means reishi can assist with muscle growth and recovery, hormonal balance, antibody production, and more—all things that can help us recover from stress and fight it off to begin with.
Reishi has also proven effective in fighting fatigue from various sources. A 2005 study conducted on neurasthenia sufferers—a condition that results in chronic fatigue, irritability, headaches, and more—found consuming reishi resulted in a significant improvement in their symptoms. (10) Another human study found reishi reduced fatigue and improved quality of life in breast cancer patients. (11)
4. Rhodiola Rosea
The adaptogens in rhodiola come from the roots of the plant. Rhodiola is good both for regulating mood and improving cognitive function.
A 2008 study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine demonstrated that participants experienced a significant improvement in their generalized anxiety disorder. (12) And a 2009 study from the Journal of Ethnopharmacology (conducted in a laboratory and using neither humans nor animals) showed that rhodiola roots possessed “potent anti-depressant activity” due to its ability as an MAO inhibitor. (13)
For the most effectiveness, take rhodiola first thing in the morning before you eat.
While this root has long been prescribed in India for a wide range of issues—everything from inflammation to insomnia—modern science does indeed back up ashwagandha’s claims to positively impact our stress level.
According to a study published in the Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine, study participants’ serum cortisol levels were “substantially reduced.” (14) In this study, participants took 300 mg of high-concentration full-spectrum ashwagandha extract twice a day for sixty days.
As you can see from the diversity of the research, adaptogens are not a simple substance—but their benefits are simple to understand. By improving our immune system, reducing our cortisol, boosting our brain function, and reducing our anxiety, these seemingly “normal” herbs, roots, and mushrooms can drastically reduce our everyday stress levels.
An easy (and delicious) way to give adaptogens a try in your life is with Pique’s TCM Elixirs:
The Chaga Energy Elixir is a perfect way to begin your day. Blended with N.American ginseng and burdock root, it boosts brain function and energy—and is a great alternative to caffeine. (Or you can add it to your coffee or tea, if you’d like!)
The Reishi Calm Elixir is a great way to complete your day. Drinking it in the evenings can help you wind down from work while it also supports your immune system, combats stress, and regulates your mood.
No matter which adaptogens for stress reduction you decide to try, get ready to feel less anxious and more balanced. Both science and traditional medicines tell us this is true. It’s amazing how many benefits such a simple substance can bring to our lives.
Thanks again to Dr. Jason Fung for his post today. Questions about adaptogens for stress management? Share them below. Have a great week, everybody.

I’m always up for the challenge of trying out new gadgets because like a true millennial, I like things that help me do things. Seriously though, any compact item that ensures efficiency and helps with producing output effortlessly is a plus in my book.
I recently came across the new ASUS Zenphone 2 Laser 5 and ASUS were generous enough to let bloggers try the newest phone. It was my first time to stray from my usual cellphone brand and its many iterations so it was honestly a pleasant surprise to come across a new phone that suits my interests and needs to a tee.
ASUS took us to Fort Bonifacio, Intramuros for a fun day of playing photographer to test out the multiple features of the phone camera for #OneDayofZen (photos above). Truly, what better place to snap photos than the heart of Manila riddled with history? After the event, I was pulled aside to answer some questions about the phone and I think it’s best for me to share some of my answers here to highlight how I feel about the new gadget.
1. What do you like about the new ASUS Zenphone?
I haven’t strayed from my usual brand for years so I was honestly surprised that the features, especially that of the camera’s, are so varied. I’m used to very few options and merely rely on post-editing apps such as VSCO and Snapseed to get what I envisioned in a shot but with the new Zenphone I could actually adjust how I take the photo exactly the way I want or need.
2. What are your favorite features of the new camera?
What I love about the camera function (aside from it having 13 Megapixels), is its low-light capabilities. I’m the type to give up on taking photos once the sun has set but the clarity of the Zenphone in low light is impressive. It’s really bright. As a blogger, stellar shots are a must and the low light feature is an amazing tool to have especially in overcast Manila. There’s also a pretty cool Selfie Panorama feature. I’m not good at selfies and I never volunteer my arm because my arm can’t extend enough to accommodate a number of people. Trust me, I’ve tried. Even when taking solo shots I tend to look, if you will, big. So the fact that I can take selfie panoramas just by rotating the phone (taking up to 30 people, we tried!) is a game-changer.
Aside from these, I like cameras and even though I’m not terribly good at photography I like being able to switch my White Balance, ISO and other settings as needed and this phone has a Manual mode where I can do just that. Although, truthfully, automatic is great on its own. HDR, GIF Animation and the Night mode are some of the other modes I especially enjoyed.
See how dark it already was and how bright the photo registered on camera?
With Ava Te, Trice Nagusara and Aileen Clarisse
3. Do you consider yourself a techie person?
No. Not at all. See, I don’t really rely on technical specs when choosing gadgets. I go by word of mouth, a friendly recommendation and design. Shallow, but true. ASUS piques my design interest, obviously (my phone is gold), but at the same time, I like how ASUS lets non-techie people like myself enjoy technical advancements by their constant pushing of the field. I didn’t even know I had the option of having certain specs and features in my phone much less my phone’s camera but I’m amazed at how these features were packaged and how easy they are to use.
Thank you, ASUS, for always pushing the boundaries in technology. The only next logical step is to add glitter, of course.

S&P: Mortgage Woes Hurting Bond Insurers
Standard & Poor's Rating Services has lowered its financial strength ratings on Ambac Assurance Corp. and MBIA Insurance Corp. to AA from AAA, and placed them on CreditWatch with negative implications. S&P also lowered the ratings on the holding companies, Ambac Financial Group and MBIA Inc. to A from AA and to A- from AA-, respectively, and placed those ratings on CreditWatch negative.
Among the reasons given for the moves was "continuing deterioration in key areas of the U.S. residential mortgage sector."
Earlier, Moody's Investors Service has cited mortgage-related exposures in placing ratings of bond insurers MBIA and Ambac on watch, drawing protests from both companies. "While the U.S. housing market and our housing-related insured credits have weakened, their performance has been consistent with expectations underlying our loss reserve calculations," said Jay Brown, MBIA chairman and CEO.
"Outside the mortgage-related exposures, the remainder of our portfolio is performing well," said Michael Callen, chairman and CEO of Ambac. (c) 2008 Mortgage Servicing News and SourceMedia, Inc. All Rights Reserved. http://www.mortgageservicingnews.com/ http://www.sourcemedia.com/

Forests are one of the most important habitats for insectivorous bats as they offer the potential for both roosting and foraging. We reviewed silvicultural literature from North America, Australia, and Europe and found that diverse research approaches have revealed commonalities in bat responses to forest silviculture. Almost all silvicultural treatments evaluated were compatible with some use by forest bats, though different bat ensembles respond in different ways. Ensemble ecomorphology was a consistent predictor of how bats respond to vegetative clutter and its dynamic changes as forests regenerate and develop a dense structure following harvesting. Sustaining high levels of bat diversity in timber production forests requires a mix of silvicultural treatments and exclusion areas staggered across the landscape, regardless of forest type or geographic region. Use of edge habitats, exclusion areas/set-asides, and riparian corridors for roosting and foraging by bats were consistent themes in the literature reviewed, and these habitat elements need to be considered in forest planning. Densities of hollow or dead trees sufficient to support large populations of roosting bats are unknown and remain a major knowledge gap, but will likely be species contingent. New paradigm shifts in forest management away from the use of even-aged systems to multi-spatial scale retention of mature forest including trees with cavities should be beneficial to bats, which are influenced by landscape-scale management. Such an approach is already in use in some regions, though there is a limited guidance on what constitutes a reasonable landscape threshold for retention. The effectiveness of such an approach will require long-term monitoring and research, especially with population studies which are currently lacking.

Where's the bikini, Irina? Shayk keeps (most of) her clothes on in new campaign for Spanish shoe brand
In a move that has shocked her legions of fans, Russian model Irina Shayk has appeared in an advertising campaign wearing clothes.
The 27-year-old girlfriend of footballer Cristiano Ronaldo covers up the body that made her famous in a new advert for Spanish footwear brand XTI.
The set of pictures has a rustic autumnal feel, featuring hay bales, rough wooden furniture, a distressed set - and, inexplicably, some office furniture.
This is what Irina Shayk looks like fully dressed! The models appears in a new ad campaign for XTI footwear
Irina been working with shoe company XTI
company since 2011, and in this campaign she shares the limelight with
Spanish model Juan Betancourt.
However, she is best known for appearing in every edition of the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue since 2007.
In 2011, she was the first Russian model to make the cover of the magazine, which was revealed live on David Letterman's Late Show in New York.
When she found out she'd scooped the coveted spot, the model, from the slopes of the Ural Mountains, close to the border with Kazakhstan, wiped away tears of joy and pride.
'To be on the cover of Sports Illustrated is a dream come true,' she sobbed. 'We Russians, you know, we know all the secrets, but I didn't know I was landing on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and it was so surprising to me. I was in shock; I was crying'.
The campaign for Spanish shoe brand XTI has a rustic feel, featuring hay bales and, erm, filing cabinets
Speaking in a recent interview with GQ Russia, Irina opened up about the regime that keeps her ready to bust out that bikini: 'I really do love
to work out!'
'My favorites are pilates and running along [the] West Side Highway when I’m in New York. It’s hard though when I travel because I get lazy and I love to eat so I just try to find a good balance.'
Ms.Shayk recently took to her Twitter account to motivate her followers to hit the gym too.
tweeted, 'U r not gonna get the butt u want... by sitting on it. We got 99 problems but the weights ain't one!'
Irina shares the spotlight with male model Juan Betancourt (left) and models an ourdoorsy look (right)
Irina may be famous for her swimsuit modelling, but she has plans to move into acting. She recently bagged a role in upcoming action movie Hercules: The Thracian Wars as the wife of Hercules, played by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.
She said of her acting debut: 'I haven’t started filming yet but I’m so excited to be a part of Hercules. My role is small but the team is amazing and Brett Ratner is one of my favorite directors so I can’t wait to begin.'
The film also stars British actors Ian McShane, John Hurt Joseph Fiennes and Rufus Sewell.

About Vishnu Purana
The Vishnu Purana is one of the eighteen Mahapuranas, a genre of ancient Indian scriptures that provide a comprehensive account of mythology, cosmology, genealogy, and religious teachings. The Vishnu Purana is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, one of the principal deities in Hinduism.
Authored by sage Parashara, the Vishnu Purana is believed to have been composed between the 3rd and 5th centuries CE, although it incorporates earlier material from ancient texts. It is written in Sanskrit and consists of six books (or sections) called “Amsha,” which cover various aspects of Hindu cosmology and mythology.
Here is a brief overview of the contents of each Amsha of the Vishnu Purana:
- Creation (Adi-Khanda): This section provides an account of the creation of the universe, the manifestations of Lord Vishnu, and the emergence of various gods, sages, and creatures. It also includes the genealogy of several prominent dynasties and the stories of Lord Vishnu’s incarnations (avatars).
- Preservation (Pralaya-Khanda): This section describes the preservation of the universe through cycles of creation, sustenance, and dissolution. It presents cosmological details, including the structure of the universe, the heavenly realms, and the celestial beings.
- Delusion (Vaishnava-Khanda): This section focuses on religious practices, rituals, and worship dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It emphasizes the importance of devotion (bhakti) and describes various modes of worship, including the use of images and sacred symbols.
- Rajasuya (Rajasuya-Khanda): This section discusses the Rajasuya Yajna, a grand ritual performed by ancient kings to assert their sovereignty and gain universal recognition. It includes details of the ritual procedure, the participants, and the rewards obtained by the king.
- The Story of Lord Krishna (Sri-Krishna-Khanda): This section is dedicated to the life and exploits of Lord Krishna, one of the most revered avatars of Lord Vishnu. It covers his birth, childhood, divine miracles, the Mahabharata war, and his teachings in the Bhagavad Gita.
- The Story of Kali (Bhagavata-Khanda): This final section focuses on the future events of the Kali Yuga, the current age of moral decline, and the subsequent restoration of righteousness. It includes prophecies about Lord Kalki’s arrival, the end of the world, and the beginning of a new cycle.
The Vishnu Purana is not only a religious text but also an important source for understanding Hindu cosmology, mythology, and philosophical concepts. It explores the relationship between the divine, the cosmos, and human existence while emphasizing the significance of devotion, righteousness, and spiritual liberation.

Victorian Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan has asked for consultations to begin on the sort of train station Mooroopna residents want for the town, after fire destroyed the previous structure last month.
The News understands the Victorian Government has asked V/Line to start consultations over the coming weeks on what the community would like to see at the new Mooroopna station.
Following discussions with State Member for Shepparton Suzanna Sheed, Ms Allan set conversations rolling yesterday.
‘‘After discussions with Suzanna Sheed, I’ve asked V/Line to begin consultations with the local community as to what facilities they want to see when they catch the train at Mooroopna,’’ Ms Allan said.
‘‘We acted quickly to ensure temporary shelter was in place and this consultation will explore what the permanent options are for Mooroopna.’’
Fire destroyed the station house at Mooroopna station on January 13.
Temporary shelter has been installed at the station and power has been reconnected at the site.
Permanent seating will be installed in the coming weeks, The News understands.
Ms Sheed last week said the community should be consulted before a decision was made on the future of any structure at the Mooroopna railway station site.
But feedback she had received from the community indicated little interest in a replica station house being rebuilt, ‘‘but rather provide a really good weatherproof shelter with seating’’.
State Member for Northern Victoria Wendy Lovell last month said if the government did not rebuild the Mooroopna railway station, a Coalition government would if elected in November.
She had urged on the need to consult with the community on any direction moving forward.

You can decorate your home the way you are interested to look without the need to buy your shoes that are own. You can buy all of the beach themed furniture and accessories at the department that is local, or you can pay a call to a web page that provides a large selection of products that can coordinate with most domiciles and can provide your home a look that is merely amazing. Your home will appear great no matter exactly what style you select, and you will make sure you impress any guests that'll be in your home.

The part that is best about modern decorating is the fact that it generally does not need a lot of cash to take a position, and also the possibilities for experimentation are wide ranging.
The fact about contemporary furniture and designer product is the fact that there isn't much difference between them and the earlier pieces of furniture and stuff.

Once you've this in place, you are able to go on to consider your items of furniture.
In contemporary home decorating, the most important pieces of furniture are not the ones you see most often. These are the dining tables and couches. People who are used to eating out often prefer them over other pieces of furniture because they are more streamlined and compact.

Color should be plumped for with an optical eye to how well they harmonize with the rest of the space and home design.
When you are looking for contemporary home decorating ideas, you can turn to the internet and turn to books to help you. There are several books that are written specifically to help you in using furniture that is modern.

archive review originally posted on the losing today site c.2003
CRIMINALS AND SINNERS
Well hold my humble heart, its nice to know that amid all the chaos, greed and misery in our world today that you can shut your door, get your feet up and bang this little feller into the CD player and escape the decay and just loose yourself.
‘Criminals and Sinners’ is a certified, 100% rock solid humdinger of a gem, those of a certain disposition and a welcoming understanding of traditional folk, mountain music and the delta blues will simply crumble with thanks to whoever up there that out there in the mad world someone still plays like this.
Mr Parr originally from Austin, can be found these days plying his trade in Duluth, Minnesota. Often compared to Mississippi John Hurt, throughout ‘Criminals and Sinners’ it easy to see why as his take on the blues does belie an uplifting text, in fact if you listen closely to the opening track ‘Asa Jones Blues’ you will find the same washboard blues like dynamic that Scouse urchins the Zutons are admirably peddling to an unsuspecting pop world at the moment. Unlike most blues / folk albums this actually rocks in places, take for instance the furiously rattling ragtime number ‘Lowdown’ or the muscularly fulsome sound of ‘Troubled bout my mother’.
Elsewhere your certain that he’s sure watched a lot of prison trains rumble past in his time while walking the same soulful journey to man’s desperate inner self, briefly found pausing at the same cross roads as once passed Robert Johnson, who swapped his soul for a dusty parchment with the blues template written upon it in blood. And there at those lonely crossings talked old times with the ghosts of Carl Perkins and John Fahey, the latter an evident influence, you can feel the presence filtering spectral like in the roots of every track especially on the gritty rolling canvas of ‘I wonder how long till I can change my clothes’. But then this isn’t an album paying respects to the dead, tracks like ‘Song for Lauren B’ and ‘Henry Young’s Body’ galvanize a real homely Dylan perspective, both replete with cascading rustic chords, the latter haunted by an exquisitely heart wrenching harmonica that just humbles you to the core, while on the springing hoedown of ‘Going up the country’ you’d swear your life away that Ry Cooder had sneaked in on the session via the back door.
‘Criminals and Sinners’ is simply timeless, frozen in a purist paradise. Why waste your time reading what I think just get out there and buy the damn thing.

Serbian Ombudsman Fears Shipping Containers may be Viewed as Permanent Solution for Belvil Roma31. July 2012 - 14:14 — Dejan Georgievski
The latest report by Serbian Ombudsman, released last Thursday, July 26, lists a growing number of problems faced by the Roma evicted from the “Belvil” slum in Belgrade. The Report notes that the new accommodation in several locations in Belgrade is “solid” but should not be seen as some sort of permanent solution.
The biggest problems, according to the report, have the Roma evicted to other cities and town in Serbia, in which they own some property, in view of the fact that local administrations don’t have the will, the funds or organization to deal with the problems of evicted Roma.
The Report states that none of the local administrations in Vranje, Leskovac, Novi Sad, Niš, Bojnik, Lebane i Prokuplje, the municipalities to which some of the Roma families were moved, had strategy or action plans for improved status and situation of the Roma population in place.
The Ombudsman notes in the Report that he presented the local self-governments that received some of the Belvil Roma families, as well as to the competent ministries with recommendations that would ensure that the eviction and integration of the Roma would be in line with the Strategy for Improvement of Status of Roma, something that they omitted to do. He especially mentioned the ministries of labour, human and minority rights and local self-government for their passive approach to the planning and implementation of the move.
Some of the omissions noted by the Ombudsman are the bad living conditions in the accommodation secured for the evicted Roma families, insufficient material assistance and conflicts between between neighbouring municipalities about who has jurisdiction over the evicted Roma families. The Report lists the case of Prokuplje, where the Municipal Social Work Centre wasn’t informed that 19 Roma returned from Belgrade for full two months after they were evicted, and the case of Niš where several Roma families were put into a facility without running water or electricity.
According to the Report, those and similar problems have forced some of the evicted Roma families to return to Belgrade again, to some of the remaining informal slums.
The Report states that the five meetings the City Administration in Belgrade held with the Belvil residents were not nearly enough, failing to offer the necessary details on the whole process, in view of the difficult living conditions of the now evicted Roma families.
The Ombudsman greeted, on the other hand, the initiative of the City of Belgrade to initiate further measures and to coordinate the competent ministries and local administrations in the process of full integration of evicted Roma. He did note that the initiative needs to be fully supported by national and local institutions that will do the actual work on the ground.
The eviction of 257 Roma families from the slum near the “Belvil” condominium centre in Belgrade was conducted on April 26, 2012, by the competent offices of the City of Belgrade. The Roma were moved to five suburban areas in Belgrade and nine other cities and municipalities all over Serbia.
The last 23 families, living along the access roads to the future Ada Bridge will be moved next autumn, as noted in the agreement signed with the European Investment Bank that will finance the building of the new bridge. There is information that they will move to a new adequate accommodation with all infrastructure and amenities, but the location has not been disclosed. (Source: euractiv.rs)

Throughout the many line up changes, Nick Ferris (guitar) and Geoff Hunt (bass) remain and both are amazed that what started as a hobby has become a full time career. The current line up is completed by Lee Pryor (vocals), Charlie Hart (drums) and Martin Weetman (keyboards/guitar).
Way back in 2001 Jimmy Page commented on their excellent reviews and wished the band all the best. Robert Plant and John Paul Jones are also aware of the band.
During 2016 the band will reach their 1,500th show confirming their position as the longest running, professional tribute to Led Zeppelin.
So if you are already a fan of the band or just curious to see why Whole Lotta Led are so admired and respected, come along and enjoy five professional musicians celebrating the incredibly diverse and exciting music of Led Zeppelin. You won’t be disappointed.

Buy somaderm hgh gel
Although the primary dominating testosterone gel on the market, those who buy AndroGel do not have the most powerful version in their handseither. They are now getting the company's stronger versions in the "ProGel" line. This means that in the future AndroGel will come with a larger, higher concentration patch that will deliver more testosterone, buy ostarine powder. This is a good thing, as a person will need a larger dose of AndroGel to reach the peak of a certain hormone. Since you can now get a larger concentration patch than in the past, you might want to try it out, if you haven't already, buy hgh gel somaderm. There's a lot to like about the new AndroGel. It has fewer ingredients which is a plus but there is a drawback to this. All these AndroGel products are based on a mixture, which is a bit of a problem for someone who wants to get the most out of the product they buy, buy somaderm hgh gel. This product doesn't work very well when mixed with a cream or lotion, buy sarms cheap. You'll never really get the benefits of AndroGel from a product that you use once every other day. I know this because I am someone who takes AndroGel daily, and as we all know, I suffer from hypogonadism, best sarm source 2022. This type of therapy is not easy to manage and while we are in need of an alternative to testosterone, we don't want to use something that we will take every day. It's sad, that this could have been a benefit that we could have used in the past. Overall, I am very happy to see the introduction of AndroGel in 2017. For any man who wants to reach this peak and get the most out of their sex life, the new AndroGel will probably be what you use. The company has also announced that there is also a smaller version, which will be called AndroDil, which offers the same effects, trenorol near me.

One of the authors, Krista Varady, says, The study's key finding was that, if people were able to cut out fat and increase carbs, their body composition was just as good when they did and that led to better health. What they wanted to know was whether that was just a matter of following a calorie surplus and that they would keep losing weight because they're eating a lot less, dianabol injectable. That hasn't been reported previously and it could have important implications in clinical practice, dianabol injectable.

Roddenberry Children's Films AnnouncedBy Antony
March 12, 2003 - 4:43 PM
Digital Production Solutions has acquired the rights to create two animated movies based upon Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry's work.
"This is exciting," said Howard Jonas, chairman of DPS parent-company IDT. "Acquiring two stories by Gene Roddenberry is like finding long lost unpublished manuscripts of Shakespeare or Hemingway in an old trunk in the attic. Now a new generation of fans will be able to experience what no generation has before: Gene Roddenberry's visions on the big screen in 3-D."
The two movies, Gene Roddenberry's Starpoint Academy and Gene Roddenberry's Char, are concepts that were created by the Star Trek legend before his death. In the same way that TV projects Earth: Final Conflict and Andromeda came about after he had passed away, they are based upon work materials he created and are being executive produced by widow Majel Roddenberry.
"Gene and I had often discussed the wonderful possibilities available in storytelling for these younger audiences," said Majel Roddenberry. "These projects will bring alive his positive vision of science, exploration and adventure to a new generation."
Starpoint Academy takes place on an artificial planet called Starpoint Pharos, which houses "emissaries of peace" from every galaxy. Here they debate and resolve problems in what is described as an "cosmic United Nations". The story also focuses on teenagers who are recruited and trained to be part of a force of Rangers who guard peace in the universe. Meanwhile, Char is the story of a girl who is raised as a normal 24th century Earth girl, not knowing that she is really an Intergalactic princess who was robbed of her birthright.
"We're very excited to be working on projects from the mind of such a legendary sci-fi master," said IDT's Morris Berger. "We want all of Gene's fans to know that the result will be well worth waiting for."
More information can be found in the original press release.

THE END of the Beginning.
Everytime the event got bigger by virtue of awareness that reached innocents who dared to face the truth, that they have to fight it out, and everytime someone new spoke, it was realized that they are not alone but there are many who are victims pre threat and post case stage.
When I saw this net photo as an online press release, after the Mega Delhi Dharna with people from 300+ victimes families attending (which in itself was a big event) I said these words and that is “It is the end of the beginning.” The TV coverage on Janmat and India TV was also massive.
And we had Peace Ride in Mumbai for a change we also had all the non affected families who participated in the ride but knew about the misuse of wife laws. We shouted “Biwi Sataye Hume Bataye” the one liner suggested by Victim Amitabh some days ago, and the best part was the non affected people also chanted slogans “Save Indian Family” “Stop the Misuse of Law” and somewhere down the line the slogan chanted by them became “Patni Sataye Hume Bachaye” The old attitude is definitely changing.
Thanks to SIF Movement that has come a long way, and for today’s Peace ride thanks to “Bombay Bikers Association”, Sundaram - TVS Group, Archana Singh of Channel 7 who has always understood this side of the coin too, The asian Age and Hinduatan Times, The Mumbai Police and Traffic Police who offline shared with us their pleasure in seeing this ride on a bigger scale next year and the surprised crowd who cheered by waving hands.

Villagers said the rebels killed civilians in their homes
The rebel forces of Gen Laurent Nkunda and pro-government militias in the Democratic Republic of Congo have been accused of war crimes by the UN.
The alleged crimes took place in the eastern town of Kiwanja this week when it was captured by Gen Nkunda's forces. Several civilians were reported killed.
The UN said investigators did not yet have a clear idea of what happened.
Fighting between government and rebels forces has left hundreds of thousands of people displaced since August.
The head of the UN mission (Monuc), Alan Doss, said he was concerned about what he described as "targeted killings of civilians by different armed groups" in Kiwanja, 80km (50 miles) north of the provincial capital Goma.
"We condemn them, we deplore them, and we remind the different groups involved that international law is very clear on this - these are war crimes that we cannot tolerate," he said, quoted by AFP news agency.
The UN investigation followed reports by Human Rights Watch that civilians were killed in their homes in Kiwanja, both as pro-government militiamen tried to take the town and after their departure.
At least 26 people are known to have died. UN military spokesman Jean-Paul Dietrich told the BBC that while some may have died in crossfire, others were summarily shot.
The rebels said they had attacked armed, pro-government militiamen, but reports say there was no evidence to suggest the dead people were fighters.
The investigation came as African leaders meeting in Nairobi called for an immediate ceasefire, for UN peacekeepers to be given a wider mandate and for humanitarian corridors to be set up to help the displaced.
The DR Congo government has accused UN peacekeepers of failing to stop rebels from killing civilians.
But while Rwanda has been accused of supporting the rebels a Uruguayan officer serving with the UN peacekeepers in DR Congo said the government side was being reinforced by Angolan troops.
The officer spoke to international news agencies in Goma, saying the Angolans had arrived there four days ago.
Two eye-witnesses have told the BBC they have seen Angolan troops in the area.
Angola is an ally of the Congolese government and has been invited by Mr Kabila to provide military assistance. But its government has said it will not intervene directly.
Angola and Zimbabwe both supported DR Congo with troops during the 1998-2003 war.
The situation in DR Congo has been described as a humanitarian catastrophe, and an estimated 250,000 people have been made homeless by the conflict.
The UN has 17,000 peacekeepers in DR Congo, making Monuc its largest mission in the world.
But only a few hundred peacekeepers are in the areas affected by the latest violence, and human rights groups have also criticised the UN for failing to prevent the killings.
Gen Nkunda says he is fighting to protect his Tutsi community from attack by Rwandan Hutu rebels, who fled to Congo after the 1994 genocide.

This along with other signing targets “ignored” by Lawwell will be a factor that ultimately helps to result in:
26 February 2019

27 February 2019

When asked about the future, Lennon states:
‘NOT EVEN THINKING’ ABOUT EXTENDED STAY
Do you want to stay beyond the end of the season?
Neil Lennon: “Not up to me and I am not even thinking about that. The club comes first. It is not about me, it is not about Brendan leaving.
“It is about the club and the players. They are the most important aspect of my job at the moment, making sure everything is right.
“This is a club decision and come the summer it will be another club decision. What the board thinks is best for the club going forward.”
That night, Celtic defeat Hearts at Tynecastle thanks to a late Edouard winner.

25 May 2019 – (circa 17:30pm)
Most fans are stunned when it is announced that Neil Lennon has just been offered the Celtic job on a permanent basis.
Peter Lawwell reveals the offer came in the Shower area at Hampden Park.
“I’m delighted to announce that after today’s event we’ve offered Neil Lennon the job of being the permanent Celtic manager,” Lawwell said.
“It has been a fantastic day, fantastic achievement – probably never to be repeated. Neil Lennon in our moment of need stepped up to the plate. He’s done a fantastic job in difficult circumstances. He’s a Celtic man and is made for Celtic and he’s a winner.
“Over the next few days we will work out the details. Today was a big occasion for him, but Neil would still have been the manager, no matter what happened. He didn’t know that before the game.”
On other candidates. Lawwell said “We had approaches from many, many agents, many representatives of managers across the board. We put them in the file, just left it and kept our word to Neil, really. We had a mini board meeting right after the game. Dermot’s here. Dermot, myself, the chairman (Ian Bankier) and Tom Allison decided what to do.”
When asked if handling the pressure of chasing nine and 10 in a row was a factor in the decision, Lawwell acknowledged Lennon’s experience and immersion in Celtic was vital. He said: “I think that’s the point. He knows the club inside out, he knows the city, he knows what’s required.”

Boston rapper Cousin Stizz is set to release his first major label project, One Night Only, on Wednesday, July 12 via RCA Records.
According to the label, the project, which was originally supposed to be released on May 12, is being classified as a "mixtape," although that's just semantics. One Night Only will be available for stream and digital purchase, not dissimilar to an album or "playlist" release in 2017.
In conjunction with the announcement of the project's release date, Stizz, a former DJBooth Top Prospect, unleashed a new single, entitled "Lambo" and produced by frequent collaborator Tee-WaTT.
