Place of Birth
On Monday Night Raw, Triple H cut a promo that took a jab at wrestling fans online. Some more details have been revealed now. The segment was in response to what HHH saw online from fans who complained about WWE Battleground 2014 being a sub par show. It has been said on multiple occasions that he hates fans who think they know how the business works.
July 24, 2014
As late as Saturday, management had plans in place for Bray Wyatt to beat Chris Jericho at WWE Battleground 2014. However, Vince McMahon called an audible and had Jericho winning the match. No word yet on why McMahon made this decision, but it is being said that a lot of people backstage were against the idea because Wyatt had already started losing momentum with the audience.
July 22, 2014
Fans who watched WWE Battleground 2014 noticed that Rob Van Dam did not perform. It has now been revealed that the former world heavyweight champion was forced to miss the pay per view because of an undisclosed injury. An update has been promised by WWE in regards to the nature of the ailment. No word yet on whether or not RVD will be missing time from the road.
July 21, 2014
At WWE Battleground 2014, Miz won the battle royal to become the new Intercontinental Champion. Sheamus is the reigning United States Heavyweight Champion. The two of them are feuding. That has led to rumors of a title unification match taking place at Summerslam 2014. The belief is that WWE really wants to stack up this pay per view to build momentum for the upcoming subscription rush for the WWE Network.
July 21, 2014
Vince McMahon decided to take a huge gamble at WWE Battleground 2014 when he had Lana and Alexander Rusev cutting a promo that hinted about the recent airplane disaster in the Ukraine. That received plenty of backlash from the media and from fans on social media websites. It got to the point where WWE even released a official statement with a veiled jab at those who are complaining.
July 21, 2014
After successfully retaining the heavyweight championship at WWE Battleground 2014, many would expect John Cena to be at Monday Night Raw for some sort of victory promo. However, the popular performer hopped on a plane Monday morning in Tampa to head to New York City. Cena is filming some scenes for an upcoming movie and will not be at Raw.
July 21, 2014
With the pay per view just a day away, rumors are firing up about WWE pulling the trigger on the Roman Reigns era. There are talks that he could walk out of the WWE Battleground 2014 pay per view as the new heavyweight champion. Management might be forced to give John Cena some time off to film some scenes in a big movie, so the title change has been discussed heavily over the last couple of days.
July 19, 2014
In a rather interesting move, management has removed Adam Rose and Damien Sandow from the Intercontinental Championship battle royal at WWE Battleground 2014. No word yet on why they were pulled from the match, but rumors are floating around that the two of them could be given a singles match on the pay per view. As of right now, there are twenty remaining contestants competing for the belt.
July 16, 2014
While many were afraid that the injury would cause him to lose his push, the fact that management has Wade Barrett scheduled to make an appearance at WWE Battleground 2014 is a good sign that the elevation will continue once he makes his return. The belief is that Barrett will be handing over the Intercontinental Championship to the winner of the battle royal, while planting the seeds for a future feud.
July 15, 2014
Since management did not want to have two divas matches on WWE Battleground 2014, the decision was made to have the match between Cameron and Naomi Knight take place on the kickoff show instead. The segment was needed for the upcoming season of Total Divas. Otherwise, the story would have been placed on the back burner once AJ Lee decided to make her return to WWE.
July 15, 2014
Rumors are floating around that the segment on Monday Night Raw between John Cena and Ric Flair was a subtle way for WWE to retire the world heavyweight championship belt. For those that missed it, Cena handed the belt over to Flair and told the legendary performer to keep it. WWE has not released an official statement on the matter yet, so fans will be tuning in to Smackdown and WWE Battleground 2014 to see the fate of the belt.
July 15, 2014
A lot of wrestling fans were a bit confused on Monday Night Raw this week when it was revealed that Paul Heyman and Antonio Cesaro are no longer together. The reason for the abrupt split is because WWE wants Heyman to be associated only with Brock Lesnar, who is rumored to be returning as soon as the night after WWE Battleground 2014. The former UFC champion is rumored to be on the receiving end of a huge push in the coming months.
July 15, 2014
Since management wanted to fill in some time at WWE Battleground 2014, the decision was made to book Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan into a best of three falls match for the tag team championship. The two teams have produced some good matches for WWE, so management is hoping that they can fill in a good amount of time at the pay per view for them.
July 9, 2014
About a month ago, it was reported that David Otunga was on his way back to WWE. He revealed those plans to the media, but those plans have yet to surface. It is being said that management simply has not come up with a story for him to make his return to Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. Some are speculating that he could be a mystery entrant into the upcoming Intercontinental Championship battle royal at WWE Battleground 2014.
July 8, 2014
While he has already been officially added to the match at WWE Battleground 2014, very few people backstage in WWE expect Kofi Kingston to be given much consideration as the new Intercontinental Champion. The belief is that he is simply in the match to act as filler and to produce an entertaining spot, which he has routinely done well for the company.
July 5, 2014
Some more names have been added to the upcoming WWE Intercontinental Championship battle royal. Big E, Curtis Axel, Dolph Ziggler, Rob Van Dam and Ryback are now in the match at WWE Battleground 2014. They join Kofi Kingston, Damien Sandow, Great Khali and Antonio Cesaro. As of right now, the company is favoring the idea of giving the title to Cesaro.
July 2, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, WWE was quick to set up the main event for WWE Battleground 2014. John Cena will defend the heavyweight championship in a fatal four way match against Roman Reigns, Randy Orton and Kane. The move was set up by Triple H, who did not reveal his reasoning for putting Reigns, an adversary, into the title match instead of Seth Rollins.
July 1, 2014
As of right now, WWE has a big match between Roman Reigns and Randy Orton penciled in for WWE Battleground 2014. The company could set up the feud during the title match at Money in the Bank 2014. There are some rumors floating around that Orton and Reigns could be battling for the title at Battleground, even though it's a bit early for the big push to begin.
June 28, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Cameron will be doing a heel turn at Money in the Bank 2014. She will more than likely cost Naomi Knight her chance at the WWE Divas Championship. There is also speculations that the incident will then lead to a triple threat match at WWE Battleground 2014, which would also feature Paige as the champion still.
June 27, 2014
Ever since the shocking heel turn by Seth Rollins against Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns took place on Monday Night Raw, there has been a lot of speculations as to when WWE would have the former Shield partners fighting one another. As of right now, the strongest rumors are that Rollins and Ambrose will be facing one another at Money in the Bank 2014, while Rollins and Reigns will have their match at WWE Battleground 2014.
June 8, 2014
Before becoming a star in professional wrestling, Steve Williams showed a lot of athletic potential as early as his high school days. He participated in track, football and wrestling during all four years at Lakewood High School in Colorado. He was such a gifted athlete that coaches from the University of Oklahoma made the trip to come recruit him.
February 18, 2014
"I don't have to tell you how hard I have worked. I don't have to tell you the hours, sweat, blood and tears I have put into this. I don't have to tell you stories so you'll feel bad for me. My dream may have started later than yours but you can't take my dream away from me. You say bad things about me but in the end you don't really know me. I may not be your internet darling but what I am is Fearless. And being Fearless is what has gotten me to where I am today. 8 years of constantly being put down, I am still here. And that's because I am a Survivor." - Nikki Bella defending herself against WWE fans who criticize her
November 16, 2014
"A lot of people talk about the attitude era being so great but a lot of it was terrible crap, sex jokes and over-the-top terrible bad comedy. It was Jerry Springer-like. They made a joke about a woman's breasts. Hilarious, but where's the wrestling? I look back on a lot of stuff now, and I'm like where's the wrestling? It's just a lot of crappy jokes." - Dean Ambrose discusses his disdain for a popular WWE era
October 10, 2014
"Well right now I'm not at liberty to say where I'm going but I will tell you I'm going to do the right thing for me and my family. I am in the process of structuring a deal and I do have a company in mind. I haven't said yes because I want to make it a public thing with the company and myself. I can't really say who it is or where I'm going but I can tell you it's going to happen in the next two weeks before my contract is even up. I won't be wrestling until January but there will be a signing in the next couple of weeks." - Kurt Angle hinting on whether he will stay with TNA or return to WWE
September 10, 2014
"Today, I have made the decision to close a chapter of my life and begin the next. My time with WWE was an experience I will never forget, and I will always cherish those memories. However, I am ready to move forward towards my goals and life aspirations. I am beyond thankful for the continual love and support from coworkers, friends, and fans. Thank you for everything." - Veronica Lane saying goodbye to WWE fans
September 3, 2014
"I've been really quiet since the passing of my husband and the father of my girls. Someone sent me what Mr Bollea had to say in video interview with Grantland yesterday and I would just like to ask him to stop. He is the only person in the WWE Universe who did not give a call or send a card. My girls asked why he didn't check on us like everyone else and I explained simply there isn't a camera at our mailbox or in the house when we receive our calls. I would ask respectfully Mr Bollea, for you to understand my girls hurt and just let some time pass before you say anything more." - wife of the Ultimate Warrior to Hulk Hogan
August 15, 2014
"My mom and my cousin, Savelina Fanene, were struck head on by a drunk driver this week. They lived. First reaction is to find the person who did this and do unrelenting harm to them, but then you realize the most important thing is my family lived through this, and we can hug each other that much tighter these days. Hug your own family tighter today and be grateful you can tell them you love them." - Rock talks about how a DUI almost killed his family
August 10, 2014
"Every two years I go through this. This is just the first public negotiation I've ever had. I think social media has really changed this kind of thing. I'm used to every two years negotiating with Spike and negotiating with other networks. This time is absolutely not any different. We're still talking with them, but there are other people, thank God, that are interested in our product. I want to grow this brand; I want to grow it domestically. I want us to be able to start having the kind of success domestically that we're having internationally. I'm not going to stop and none of us are going to stop until we get there. I'm real excited to see and I think we'll know sooner than later what's going to happen." - Dixie Carter addresses the situation on what TNA is doing with Impact Wrestling
August 7, 2014
"No, I've been there and done it against Chris Jericho and I proved a point, so there's no sense in jeopardizing that. Everyone who saw me work that match said I did good for my age. They have a good memory of that and I'd like to leave it at that. I do know some of the older guys who have come back and tried to work in the ring and it's just heartbreaking to see. I don't want to risk all that because the fans still have a pretty good image of me and my last time in the ring." - Ricky Steamboat talking about a potential return to WWE
August 5, 2014
"If it's true that Spike TV doesn't renew their deal with TNA, it's a double edged sword, in my opinion. They were and are atrociously bad at advertising the show whatsoever. I never used to see us advertised except maybe an hour before Impact Wrestling started. Not acceptable. The most annoying part when I was still wrestling there was I'd see Bellator constantly advertised, and we were doing better numbers at the time. Hell, even Manswers got better public relations by the network than we did. The bad side of the sword is that it obviously takes a ton of TNA's revenue away that they counted on to pay the wrestlers. For the company's future, I think the further they get the hell away from Spike, the better the company will be. That's just my opinion obviously." - Matt Morgan on the rumors that Spike TV is canceling their television deal with TNA
July 28, 2014
"Dolph Ziggler has got to be one of the toughest men to put on a pair of boots, but he's going to be like Mick Foley in another five years because that kid beats his body up more than anybody on the crew. I do know this, in my dealings with him, when I'm his producer, he gives everything he's got. He does some really phenomenal and athletic stuff." - Arn Anderson thinks WWE should push Ziggler
July 20, 2014
"He just signed with us. I was there when he had his tryout at the WWE Performance Center and I met with him there. We've been working on this for a while. His training will start when he gets here. The thing is, you can be a big star anyplace else in the world. That gets you in the door. What you do once you get here is a whole different ballgame. He's no different than anybody else once he walks through the door of the Performance Center." - Triple H on how Kenta Kobayashi will be treated in WWE
July 17, 2014
"I don't think I will ever wrestle again, but if I do, it would be for WWE. I just feel like that's my place. It's where I developed my wrestling abilities and character and that's where I would stay if I was to wrestle again. The good thing about when I left is that I left on very good terms with the WWE. It left the door open for me if I ever wanted to come back. It's not completely out of the question to ever return, whether it's for a short-term or longer. Maybe there will be a point down the line that I miss wrestling bad enough that I'll want to come back. As for now though, I'm just focusing on my company and my marriage and haven't gotten that itch to wrestle." - Kaitlyn discusses her future in professional wrestling
July 17, 2014
"I disagree with scripting. I think the nature of a promo has to come from your heart and your guts and you have to mean everything that you're saying. Now is the perfect time to go back to that formula. You learn to sink or swim. And guys and gals will start to learn to swim again. That's what's going to make the product feel more organic, more spontaneous and more real." - Steve Austin talks about WWE being too scripted
July 7, 2014
"Yes, I like Hulk Hogan - and here's why. With each passing year, I think I gain a better perspective on what's really important in life. There was a time - a period of many years - where Hulk's name would bring up some negative feelings for me. He was the guy who made far more than I did with a style that was the antithesis of mine. But for the past several years, whenever I see Hulk Hogan, all I can think of are the words Shane Douglas shared with me about Hulk Hogan and the kindness and warmth with which he showered the kids facing life-threatening challenges, who seemed to find strength and inspiration in Hulk's larger than life physique and personality. I'll never forget those words Shane told me, 'Those kids would just be beaming.' Those words are all I think of when I see Hogan, People can take issue with his wrestling style...as they often do with mine. But, when it's all said and done, Hulk Hogan used that oversized personality, and really big heart to ease so much suffering that he saw around him.. In the bigger picture, does anything else really matter?" - Mick Foley shares his feelings on Hulk Hogan
June 27, 2014
"Obviously this is going to be a big financial changer because you're not going to get all those buy rates. I've had a brief experience with the WWE Network. I signed up for it. I'm not a real gadget guy. I've had an iPad for damn near two years, but I hardly ever use it. I put the WWE Network on there, and I typed in certain matches, they didn't have certain things from NWA or WCW. So I've been going more to YouTube. I think they need a little bit more original content. I need to get on there more to familiarize myself with it. One of the things I've enjoyed is the old Garden stuff and from World Class (Championship Wrestling). I think it was smart to come out with the network. I think it's going to catch on more in the next two or three years, and that's when it will pay off." - Steve Austin shares his views on the WWE Network
June 27, 2014
"He is a pro. He comes to work everyday. He is straight forward and tells you exactly what it is. One of my things was I didn't get to work a match with him. I would have dropped the weight I did and keep the muscle I have. He is a great leader in terms of he talks it; he walks it. He is the face of the WWE and likely so. John Cena gave us all an opportunity to train and have the same training regiment. The training of the NBA and NFL with Olympic lifts for maintenance, for power, better cardiovascular. He was on the forefront. He gave guys an opportunity." - Brodus Clay defending John Cena

Jerry Stiller’s son, Ben Stiller, the whiz responsible for Tropic Thunder—which reminded us that every 10 years or so, a movie really is worth $10.75—hosts Project A.L.S.’s star-studded gala at the Waldorf Astoria. “I will be hosting the event which I have done with varying degrees of success over the years,” Mr. Stiller told us. “We always want to keep it light, because the disease is so devastating that we don’t want to pound people over the head with it.…All of it originates from the spirit of my good friend, Jenifer Estess, who started Project A.L.S. when she was diagnosed in 1997. She had an incredible sense of humor and her spirit is what the night is all about. Chris Rock is going to drop by, and hopefully a few other friends. It is at the Waldorf, so there won’t be any bad language or questionable behavior.” More doing of good gets done in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, as Lacoste and Vogue launch a pink croc at a fete hosted by socialites Marisa Noel Brown, Aerin Lauder-Zinterhofer and Gigi Mortimer, not to mention actress Rose Byrne, all of whom know to pair their photo ops with charitable gestures these days! Speaking of gestures, achingly hip artist and Marc Jacobs sidekick Elizabeth Peyton gets some corporate lovin’ at the New Museum, which debuts a Banana Republic-sponsored exhibition of her work, “Live Forever: Elizabeth Peyton.” Yep, in trying times, at least we have pencil skirts.

The next two patients were women, Brigitte Bedi, a slim, blonde yoga teacher, who suffered severe brain damage in a car crash, and Tanya Lynn, from Canada, who had myasthenia gravis (MG), an autoimmune disease that weakens the face and throat muscles, so it’s hard to speak, swallow and breathe. Both had been given meds by their doctor that caused unpleasant side effects, and had been told they would not get any better. Frankel treated them with different cannabinoid oils, and within 12 to 18 months, both were better and leading normal lives.
Frankel runs GreenBridge Medical, which he founded in 2006, like an internist’s office. He begins with a one-hour consult, comes up with a treatment plan, and recommends products for which he designed the formulas: ten oils with different combinations of THC and CBD. (THC gets you high; CBD doesn’t, but is alleged to have strong healing properties) The #1 oil is almost all CBD, #10 is almost all THC, and #5 has equal amounts of both. So the doctor, patient, and dispensary know how many milligrams of what chemicals the patient is taking, and the doctor can adjust the dose as needed.
A 2016 study in Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry explored how CBD contributed to the fat browning process. Brown fat is a particular type of fat that works to increase energy expenditure, and it produces heat. This allows brown fat to burn more calories, but adults are mostly composed of white fat. In the study, the following was observed as a result of cannabinoid usage:
Is CBD Legal? Hemp-derived CBD products (with less than 0.3 percent THC) are legal on the federal level, but are still illegal under some state laws. Marijuana-derived CBD products are illegal on the federal level, but are legal under some state laws. Check your state’s laws and those of anywhere you travel. Keep in mind that nonprescription CBD products are not FDA-approved, and may be inaccurately labeled.
In 2007, he was investigated by the California Medical Board and in 2008, his license to practice was suspended. He fought this in court, losing his house to pay legal bills, and in 2011, his license was reinstated. During those “hard years,” he said, he hired other doctors to write recommendations for medical marijuana licenses, then Frankel advised the patients how to treat their ailments. “I could have quit and taken a job that paid well, but I kept asking myself, what’s the best thing I can do for my patients?” He thought about what his parents had suffered in Auschwitz. “Why should I crumble because the medical board takes away a piece of paper? I was willing to fight for something I feel is absolutely good—because of its efficacy and lack of side effects.”
Collectively, these results stem from the ability of CBD to induce “fat browning” – that is, converting what is normally white-colored fat tissue (WAT-white adipose tissue) that stores energy to beige-colored fat tissue (BAT-brown and beige adipose tissue) that burns it. Previous studies have shown that boosting beige-colored fat in animals improves their glucose tolerance, making them more resistant to diabetes and various blood lipid abnormalities.
The Hemp plant CBD oil is legal in almost all states, as it contains less than 0.3% THC and will not get you high. It is not the same as regular marijuana base CBD that is illegal in a lot of states due to it having a high THC %. I get Pure High Quality Hemp CBD from a really good company that keeps up with and follows the laws of each state. Only state at this time they cannot ship to is NE.
Alicia Salazar, a New York state board certified health coach, uses CBD with her clients to maximize their health outcomes. “I don’t look at CBD as a magic bullet for weight loss,” she said. “But CBD along with a healthy diet – one that contains healthy fats, whole grains, grass-fed meat and dairy, and plenty of greens, without processed foods and sugar – sets the tone for a healthy weight. And for some, that can naturally include weight loss.”

The federal government has initiated the Investment in Digital and Creative Enterprises (i-DICE) Program, a significant move aimed at transforming Nigeria’s digital and creative industries backed by $617.7 million. Vice-President Kashim Shettima inaugurated the technical committee responsible for kickstarting the program in Abuja on Wednesday, expressing optimism about its potential to reshape the nation’s digital and creative landscape.
The i-DICE Program, a collaborative effort between the government and esteemed international partners including the Bank of Industry (BoI), African Development Bank (AfDB), French Development Agency (FDA), and Islamic Development Bank (IDB), seeks to nurture and empower enterprises operating within these sectors. The endorsement of the program’s implementation in all 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) by the National Economic Council (NEC) further underscores its significance.
Vice-President Shettima described the launch as a pivotal moment for Nigeria, signaling the dawn of a new era. He disclosed that the Ministry of Finance has been entrusted with ensuring the expeditious disbursement of funds to facilitate the swift implementation of the i-DICE Programme.
Highlighting the importance of partnerships with esteemed institutions, Shettima emphasized the alignment of vision and purpose in driving shared prosperity. He commended the meticulous preparations undertaken by the Ministry of Finance and partner organizations, affirming the program’s readiness to unleash its full potential in reshaping Nigeria’s digital and creative sectors.
Tope Fasua, Chairman of the Technical Committee on the i-DICE program and Special Adviser to the President on Economic Matters, underscored the program’s substantial financial backing and its potential to catalyze transformative change. Fasua noted that the selection of fund managers is being conducted transparently under the guidance of the African Development Bank (AfDB) to ensure optimal management of financial resources.
Fasua revealed that necessary documentation has been completed by AfDB and the French Development Agency (AFD), with funds poised for disbursement pending internal processes. The Islamic Development Bank (ISDB) is in the final stages, awaiting approval from the Ministry of Finance for one final document. Anticipation surrounds the program’s first drawdown of funds scheduled for April 15th, marking a significant milestone in its implementation.
Expressing gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for the opportunity to contribute to societal and economic development, Fasua reiterated the committee’s commitment to advancing Nigeria’s human capital and economic prosperity through the i-DICE Program.

Author’s Note: This post is part of a series looking at resources for teaching children about the U.S. Constitution on Constitution Day (Sept. 17).
The cartoon series Liberty’s Kids aired on PBS from 2002-2004. It is a historical fiction account of the events of the Revolutionary War and the early United States told through the eyes of Sarah (15), James (14), and Henri (8).
Elements of such an approach can be cheesy. However, I think Liberty’s Kids does a good job of developing some important characters from history, while not over indulging in myth and cliche.
Episode #38 is titled “The Man Who Wouldn`t Be King” and deals with some of the events between the Treaty of Paris which officially ended the Revolutionary War and the Constitutional Convention.
It addresses the turmoil which faced the United States under the Articles of Confederation.
Part One of this Episode introduces us to the turmoil within the military ranks as well as the dysfunction within Congress. We are also introduced to a fellow named James Madison.
Here is Part One of Two:

Alcohol is the most commonly abused mind-altering substance in the United States, partly because of how widely accepted the use of it is. Out of the 23 million Americans who have a substance use disorder, 15 million of them are addicted to alcohol. Unfortunately, it is estimated that only eight percent of those with alcohol use disorder get treatment. For many, admitting that they cannot control how much they drink makes them feel like a failure, especially because there are so many people in the country who are able to drink responsibly. Others are so deeply convinced that they are not addicted to alcohol that they do not even consider getting help. Other obstacles that those addicted to alcohol might face when it comes to getting professional treatment can include being unable to afford the level of care they need, feeling unable to take time off of work or from caring for their families to get help, or simply being so consumed with their drinking that the idea of getting help is overwhelming and even frightening.
Regardless of what holds someone who is addicted to alcohol back from getting treatment, the truth is that the longer one abuses this substance, the more likely he or she is to experience several destructive consequences in his or her life, possibly including death. And while the very thought of going to rehab can be enough to keep someone trapped in their dangerous drinking patterns, the only thing that one should be fearful of is what can happen if their use continues.
DANGERS OF ALCOHOL ADDICTION
Alcohol, like most other substances, is not something that should be consumed on a regular basis and/or in excessive amounts, as it can cause serious health problems. When someone is addicted to alcohol, however, the desire to keep using quickly becomes more powerful than the fear of what physical or mental impacts might develop. This is why several people struggle with health issues as a result of their use. Specifically, those who are addicted to alcohol can experience the following dangerous health consequences if they allow their drinking to persist:
- Cirrhosis of the liver
- Fatty liver disease (steatosis)
- Cancer in the throat, mouth, larynx, breast, liver, colon, or esophagus
- Cardiomyopathy (disease of the heart muscle)
- Memory loss
- Cognitive problems
- Diminished gray matter in the brain (responsible for memory, emotions, speech, self-control, and muscle control)
- High blood pressure
- Irregular heartbeat
- Panic attacks
- Sleep problems
- Mood swings
- Problems concentrating
Someone continuing to abuse alcohol also puts him or herself at risk for overdose. Today, overdose is one of the biggest killers in the country, with 72,000 people dying from drug and alcohol overdoses in 2017 alone. And while it is common for someone to pass out or vomit as a result of drinking, these signs should never be ignored or laughed off, as they also serve as some of the leading symptoms of alcohol overdose. People who overdose on alcohol not only experience vomiting and episodes of passing out, but they can also develop more symptoms as their blood alcohol level can continue to rise even if they are no longer drinking. These symptoms can include low body temperature, confusion, blue-tinted skin, and/or seizures.
If someone is experiencing symptoms such as these, it is imperative to get emergency medical care as quickly as possible to prevent permanent damage and/or death.
SYMPTOMS OF ALCOHOL ADDICTION
Outside of not drinking at all, the best way to prevent any of the dangers listed above is to be aware of what the most common symptoms of alcohol addiction are. Both users and their families should know what constitutes alcohol use disorder and what does not in order to help determine if reaching out for professional help is necessary.
Each person addicted to alcohol is going to have his or her own experience with the disease of addiction. The symptoms that one might display will be directly correlated to factors such as how much he or she is drinking, how often the drinking is occurring, and if alcohol is being abused at the same time as other addictive substances. However, when an addiction to a substance like alcohol is occurring, there are also several commonly-shared symptoms that can develop in all of those who drink. They include the following:
- Using greater amounts of alcohol over time in order to achieve desired effects (known as tolerance)
- Feeling psychologically unable to stop using alcohol
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when alcohol cannot be consumed in its usual amount or at all
- Continuing to drink despite suffering one or more negative life consequences
- Abusing alcohol in dangerous situations, such as while driving or at work
- Experiencing increased conflict with friends, family, and loved ones
- Being demoted or fired from a job, suspended or expelled from school, and/or kicked out of the house
- Developing physical health problems associated with alcohol abuse but continuing to drink anyway
- Being secretive and/or dishonest regarding whereabouts and behaviors
- Losing interest in previously enjoyed activities or hobbies
Someone who is abusing alcohol does not need to have all of these symptoms in order to get professional addiction treatment. Even just one of these symptoms is enough for a person to reach out for help.
ALCOHOL REHAB FLORIDA CAN HELP
Alcohol addiction is a disease that affects every aspect of a person’s life, from their physical well-being and psychological stability to their general outlook on life. Just as no two people are alike, no two addictions are the same, either. That’s why a cookie-cutter approach to addiction treatment is usually highly ineffective.
The key to achieving long-lasting recovery is receiving a personalized treatment plan that focuses on every aspect of one’s mind, body, and spirit. At our alcohol rehab in Florida, we design a custom treatment plan that addresses your specific needs, challenges, goals, and interests. Your uniquely tailored treatment plan will help you get sober, learn how to prevent use in the future and build a strong foundation to base your life-long recovery on. As your needs change, your plan can be altered to grow along with you.
While your path towards recovery is unique, the process you go through during alcohol rehab includes standard steps: detox, repair, tools, and growth. These steps are a natural progression from detox to life outside of rehab. At our alcohol rehab in Florida, we employ different treatment modalities into each client’s plan so that they can go through these steps and achieve deep healing and develop strong sobriety that will keep them living happy, healthy lives.
When a person stops drinking, his or her body begins to go into withdrawal. The symptoms that he or she experiences during withdrawal will vary based on many different factors, such as how much he or she was drinking, how often he or she drinks, and how long he or she has been drinking. All of these factors affect how one’s body will respond to detox. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms are known to be very painful and those who make independent attempts to stop drinking often find themselves drinking once again when the withdrawal symptoms become too intense. However, help is available 24/7 at our alcohol rehab in Florida. You do not need to go through withdrawal symptoms alone.
The withdrawal symptoms that clients can experience when detoxing at our alcohol rehab in Florida can vary from minor discomforts like headaches and nausea to life-threating complications, such as hallucinations, seizures, and heart failure. Alcohol is one of the very few substances that people can die from when they suddenly stop using it, which is why detoxing in a professional setting is vital to one’s health and wellbeing. When a person stops drinking without professional detox help, he or she puts him or herself at risk for serious health complications that could lead to death, like seizures and heart failure (as previously mentioned). It is never recommended for someone who is addicted to alcohol to try to detox on his or her own because of how deadly it can be. At our alcohol rehab in Florida, however, clients will receive all the care and support needed to safely detox from this substance.
When a person has professional detox specialists at their side as they go through the process of detox, his or her withdrawal is not only safe, but it is typically much more comfortable. At our alcohol rehab in Florida, our empathetic detox specialists support each client with nutritious meals that restore their body, FDA-approved medication that can lessen physical withdrawal symptoms and curb overpowering cravings for continued use, and the guidance needed to see their detox straight through to the end. While a client’s detox may be uncomfortable at times, we can ensure everyone who comes to us for professional addiction treatment that they will be made as comfortable as possible for the duration of their time spent in detox.
As touched on previously, many people who try to detox alone often succumb to reusing just to get relief from withdrawal symptoms. Without professional support like the kind we offer at our alcohol rehab in Florida, it is much easier to give up than to finish detoxing. When our clients have our empathetic detox professionals at their side and constantly cheering them on, however, they can face the challenges detox may bring and come out stronger on the other side. Clients who persevere through this trying first step of treatment tend to be healthier and in a better place to begin treatment. With a clear head, clients can begin the true work of healing.
When a client finishes detox, he or she can then transition into the repair phase. Through this phase, clients will focus on healing every aspect of themselves, including mind, body, and spirit. The first step to take is for the clients to take a look at where they are and compare that to where they want to be. During this step, we’ll take the time to discuss the challenges all clients have been facing and we will work to uncover any underlying mental and behavioral health issues that may be present in an effort to ensure that clients are receiving the most thorough, beneficial care possible.
When clients are struggling with depression or anxiety, for example, they may also use alcohol to dampen their feelings of upset. This relief is only temporary. As the body builds a tolerance, a person requires more alcohol to mask depression or anxiety. Without realizing it, an addiction can develop, which can be very hard to treat and recover from without the right amount of support and expertise.
Other times, alcoholism causes mental or behavioral health issues. When a person is not taking care of him or herself, he or she is susceptible to issues such as depression and anxiety. Countless clients enter into alcohol rehab Florida with a preexisting mental health condition. Just as many find out that they are not only addicted to alcohol but that their use has been masking a mental health condition such as depression or anxiety. Those who have a substance use disorder occurring alongside a mental illness can benefit from the integrated interventions that the team at our alcohol rehab Florida can provide. With nearly 50% of all those with a substance use disorder also having a mental health condition, treating these issues simultaneously at our alcohol rehab Florida is our very first approach to care.
Help is available 24/7 at our alcohol rehab Florida. Call us for a free personal consultation. We can help to establish a customized treatment plan for each and every client so that recovery is a possibility.
Each clients’ alcohol rehab recovery plan will include many different treatment modalities, from evidence-based, traditional treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy to today’s therapies based on modern addiction science. The client’s treatment plan may include progressive therapies that help him or her heal and provide him or her with the strategies needed to maintain sobriety for the long term.
Through this multi-disciplinary approach to recovery, our alcohol rehab Florida can address every aspect of one’s addiction so that he or she can start to heal all areas of his or her life. Clients will have the opportunity to uncover the deeply buried issues that led to or agitated the addiction. When they are provided the opportunity to address these issues, clients can develop the skills they need to overcome the challenges that those issues have presented them with.
At our alcohol rehab Florida, each client’s treatment plan will evolve right along with him or her, especially considering that a large amount of growth typically occurs while one is in treatment. As the client travels along their path to recovery, we will monitor his or her progress so that we can continually adjust the treatment plan to support him or her.
While clients will be able to focus fully on their addiction at our alcohol rehab Florida, once they leave our treatment center, they will face everyday challenges at home. The key is not to let these challenges become triggers that lead to drinking again.
During the tools phase, clients develop the skills necessary to deal with life stressors. Alcohol is a legal substance that individuals will be around again at some point, whether at a company event or a family gathering. Therefore, they need to be strong and have tools that enable them to choose sobriety and life over alcohol.
Clients will discover a range of ways to maintain their strength in the face of temptation. Relaxation techniques help clients re-center when feeling stressed and bring them back to their strong point. Clients also develop tools that keep them alert for hunger, anger, loneliness, and tiredness (H.A.L.T) — all triggers that can weaken their resolve. In addition to techniques, clients will also find that support groups can help them stay on the road to recovery. By being accountable to others in the same situation, clients have added incentive to make the right choices. These tools will serve as their lifeline when their sobriety feels shaky.
Boredom can also lead to drinking again. Since most clients spent their free time drinking, they may be apprehensive about how they will spend their time once sober. Our alcohol rehab Florida will help clients develop important techniques to maintain their sobriety while also exploring new ways to spend their time.
At 12 Keys in Florida, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to rediscover a pastime you once loved, such as art or horseback riding. You’ll also discover new ways to experience life, such as standup paddle boarding, deep-sea fishing, and kayaking. Our treatment will give you a new outlook on life and a reignited passion for living. You’ll find that sober living is more fun, exciting and rewarding than your days spent drinking.
While tools and hobbies are key to maintaining long-term sobriety, clients cannot walk this journey alone. All those in recovery need the support of loved ones as well. At our alcohol rehab Florida, clients have the opportunity to participate in family therapy, which will allow them to heal bonds that their addiction broke. During family therapy, a client’s loved ones can learn more about the science of addiction so they can better understand the client’s journey. When they have a better understanding of what their loved one is facing, they can provide the kind of support that they need.
As each client’s time spent at our alcohol rehab Florida comes to a close, it opens a new chapter for them: transitioning to their everyday lives. Before clients leave the safe space of our alcohol treatment facility, they will work with their therapists to develop an aftercare plan and a roadmap for their long-term sobriety.
Each client’s aftercare plan will identify their support system, how they will respond to triggers, their goals for life and the ongoing treatment they will receive. By having a customized aftercare plan, clients can rest assured that they will not become complacent in their sobriety. They will have benchmarks they can use to see how they are achieving new goals in sober living.
Help is available 24/7. Call us for a free personal consultation. Just as your recovery plan evolves as you progress through treatment, so will your aftercare plan. You’ll work with your therapist to adjust your plan as needed when life changes occur and you face new challenges. Our goal of alcohol rehab Florida is to make your journey toward recovery as seamless as possible by removing obstacles which otherwise might stand in your way. All expenses related to your treatment at our alcohol rehab Florida are considered a cost of doing business. Prescriptions, all meals, activities, and most incidentals, including the gym, are also covered. To find out more about what to expect at our facility, call us right now.
A RELAXED, COMPASSIONATE ENVIRONMENT
Unlike other alcohol addiction rehab centers that strictly monitor clients in unpleasant clinical settings, the real recovery approach to care employs individualized treatment, empathy, fun activities, and an enjoyable environment. Our rehab for alcoholism offers more one-on-one counseling sessions than other alcohol abuse rehab centers. And because our property only accepts a limited number of clients at a time, you or your loved one will never have to worry about getting lost in the shuffle.
Holistic alcohol rehab centers treat the entire client; they don’t just provide an education on the negative effects of alcoholism. Following a medically managed withdrawal or detox from alcohol, our clients begin a rigorous but thoughtful therapeutic journey designed to inspire self-reflection as well as better coping skills. Contact us and discover what sets us apart from other alcoholism rehabs. Our personalized approach, compassionate staff, and superior amenities make our program the perfect place to recover from a life-threatening addiction to alcohol.
CALL OUR ALCOHOL REHAB TODAY
If you are addicted to alcohol and are ready to stop drinking for good, do not wait one second longer. Call us right now to get started on the road to recovery.

I bought W320 a month ago and i am extremely happy with its image quality. Though there are a number of websites giving its review, but according to me showing sample images of Sony DSC W320 would be an exciting review. It is a 14.1 mega-pixel camera with outstanding image quality. Although it does not allow recording videos in HD, yet its VGA mode with 30 frames per second is capable of creating a wow movie. This compact camera is the most ideal choice for anyone who is on a budget and of course for first time digital camera owners like me. In this blog post I have shared a couple of photos captured with Sony w320. To know more about all the features, do visit this W320 review.

With ruling party nominees in charge of the KRS and set to take over the Supreme Court in July 2018, and the federal government protected by a tame Constitutional Tribunal, there will quickly not exist an impartial institution able to checking how the federal government wields the power it has acquired. The destruction of the rule of legislation in Poland needs to be seen not as some worrying future prospect but a close to fait accompli that the European Union, the worldwide neighborhood, and above all, Polish society itself has failed to forestall. Criminal Justice is a challenging, thrilling, and rewarding career. The Criminal Justice concentration throughout the Law and Justice Studies Program prepares college students for careers in a wide variety of areas including law enforcement, juvenile justice, corrections, public security and other justice and authorized associated fields.
The Senate Law and Justice Committee considers a wide variety of topics relating to civil and legal law, including points involving public security, legislation enforcement, and sentencing. Civil law topics embody commercial legislation, probate, firearms, eminent domain, Consumer Protection Act remedies and processes.
Justice is relative and has no content. Each society defines its Justice by the legislation, trough a conflicting course of among the many ruling teams. If it werenâ€™t so all societies would have the identical lawsâ€¦ That is why we’ve so much trouble for enforcing a world definition of human rights, even amongst democratic countries. In the 2015 Polish parliamentary election, the far-proper Law and Justice Party, or PiS, received with an outright majority (meaning they did not have to kind a coalition to govern), one thing that had not been accomplished in Poland for the reason that fall of communism in 1989.

Drew Brees looked like he was a sure bet to post huge fantasy numbers this week against the Bills and their 31st-ranked pass defense.
So much for that.
Through just over three quarters, Brees has thrown for a mere 140 yards with no touchdowns in what’s turned into a defensive battle. In what is even more bad news for fantasy owners, the Saints have used a three-back rotation in the contest.
Pierre Thomas, Reggie Bush and Lynell Hamilton have all seen carries, with Bush leading the way with 12. Such a scenario, if it lasts throughout the season, would make for some real headaches.
In other news, the Miami Dolphins have lost Chad Pennington to an injured shoulder. Chad Henne is under center in his absence.
Speaking of quarterbacks, it’s pretty obvious that fantasy owners can’t trust Carson Palmer. After putting up huge numbers against the Packers in Week 2, he’s thrown for an awful 87 yards and no touchdowns against the Steelers.

The Commanders Club of Michigan was formed in 1962 by a group of politically interested business leaders and state government officials from around Michigan with the assistance of then-governor John B. Swainson. It was to provide a formal organization to utilize the interest, time and facilities of the Honorary Commanders duly appointed to that position in the Michigan Military establishment.
The purpose of the club is to promote the best interests of the State of Michigan, particularly in the areas maritime affairs; support the Michigan Department Military and Veterans Affairs and assist in the promotion and expansion of recruiting, training and educational facilities of maritime oriented associations. As a member of this organization, you are issued an honorary commission by the Governor, Adjutant General and Secretary of State, under authority of the Michigan Constitution and Act 60 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1969.
The Commanders Club was instrumental in sponsoring the legislation in the Michigan Senate that helped to establish the Great Lakes Maritime Academy at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City in 1969. GLMA is one of only six state maritime academies authorized by the Federal government to train future Merchant Mariners. The Commanders Club have also assisted with the establishment of legislation in water safety and boating controls in and on the Great Lakes.
On October 1, 1965 the 106 yacht Helene was commissioned as the official flagship of the Michigan Commanders Club. The ceremony was attended by such honored guests as Gov. John B. Swainson, Detroit Mayor Jerome P. Cavanaugh and leaders of the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Navy. It has since been sold, but still sails on the Great Lakes today.
After the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald in 1975 in Lake Superior, the Commanders Club prepared and presented a bronze memorial to the Mayor of Sault Ste. Marie, which has been placed at the Soo Locks. The ceremony took place in the Governors Room at the State Capitol and was officiated by Governor William G. Milliken.
More recently, the Commanders Club sponsors and provides financial support to the youth ages 11 through 18 in two U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Units and two U.S. Navy League Cadet Units in Grand Rapids and Lansing, Michigan.
The Commanders Club was involved with the naming of the nuclear submarine, USS MICHIGAN (SSGN-727) and maintains an ongoing relationship with her officers and crew. The Commanders Club also is working on establishing a relationship with the USS GERALD R. FORD (CVN-78). Eight Commanders attended the commissioning ceremony in Norfolk, Virginia on 22 Jul 2017. Several Commanders also attended the commissioning ceremonies of the USS FREEDOM (LCS-1) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2008; the USS GEORGE H.W. BUSH (CVN-77) in Norfolk, Virginia in 2009; and the USS DETROIT (LCS-7) in Detroit, Michigan 22 OCT 2016..
The Commanders Club has assisted the U.S. Navy with recruiting efforts in the Navy Nurse Corps and has supported Navy Recruiting District Michigan in their outreach and recruiting efforts. Michigan Commanders have also assisted in placing graduating Sea Cadets into all of the U.S. Service Academies, Navy ROTC, and other ROTC Programs, U.S. Navy, U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, and Michigan Army and Air National Guard.
The Commanders Club plays a leading role in Detroit Navy Week; hosting visiting flag officers; and has participated in other Navy activities and air shows in the Michigan region.
Currently the Commanders meet nine times each year for a business meeting, dinner, and hosting interesting guest speakers. The Commanders attend and financially support, a number of social events, which include the Commanders Ball/Change-of-Command Ceremony, U.S. Navy Ball, U.S. Coast Guard Memorial and Parade in Grand Haven, Michigan, the Michigan Adjutant General's Social at Camp Grayling, Michigan, and annually attend the U.S. Navy Recruit Graduation at Navy Training Center Great Lakes, Illinois as Guests of Honor. The Commanders Club also enjoy a weekend on Mackinac Island each year and attend various other social events. Most all of the events are attended by the Commanders, spouses and family members.

There's a seasonal Bald Eagle Nesting Closure on the northwest end of Buckskin (traveling counterclockwise on the loop) from Hog Pen Trail to Cave Run Trail. The full closure is in effect from December 1 to July 1 and there's a narrower closure at all times/year round: it is illegal to approach/be within 200 yards of an Eagle nest, per the Bald Eagle Protection Act. The nest is not on the trail so outside of the seasonal closure as long as you do not go beyond the posted signs you are okay.
Buckskin conjures different memories for different people. For many it's an old, mostly forgotten, classic that has fallen into obscurity through lack of maintenance. For many it was a first singletrack experience that left an impression.
It might be a little hard, but a decade ago it was the type of mountain biking experience that you expected when venturing into the woods on two wheels. Buckskin is singletrack journey through the forests with views out across Cave Run Lake. In places it' s hard and in places it's a dream.
Buckskin can easily be combined with other trails in the area to form loops and longer rides. The US Forest Service is working to develop a reroute near the Bald Eagle nesting site that will allow the trail to remain open year round.

MASSIMODECARLO is delighted to present Light Holding, Jenna Gribbon’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. The paintings question the feelings and implications of seeing and being seen through their exploration of performative, constructed and real intimacy. Occupying the artist’s point of view in the scenes, we are encouraged not only to look at the subject but invited to view Gribbon’s own experience of looking at them. Forced into this position, we become aware of our place in the triumvirate relationship between artist, subject and viewer.
Although all the works in Light Holding explore the close relationships between Gribbon and her partner Mackenzie Scott and her son, the exhibition can be divided into three series, dictated by scale, style, and the role played by the subject, artist and viewer. Paint, which Gribbon handles deftly and succinctly, is also applied with variety between the works, with brushstrokes loosening and widening in tandem with their growing scale.
The truest portrayals of intimacy are found in the smallest works: unflinchingly real tableaus from domestic life. Scott appears unaware of her role as a subject, surrendering them to a feeling of authentic reality. The lack of performance in the scenes transforms viewer into voyeur, while their soft lighting adds to their unstaged nature. The size of the paintings forces us to intrude as we must stand uncomfortably close to peer into a life that is not our own. Scott’s palpable physical discomfort in the scenes, such as the irritation to her eye (Something in her eye, 2021), mirrors the disquieting sense of being unwittingly watched.
The scape works are larger than life constructions of faux-intimate moments, based in both real and imaginary worlds. Their size and energized visible brushstrokes render Scott statuesque and imposing, giving her the agency that she is denied in the smaller works; she watches you, almost daring you, to take part in the pair’s intimacy. The presence of the artist’s body in the foreground pulls the viewer in to occupy her position intertwined with Scott, but their physical formations are hard to decipher and are seemingly improbable, if not impossible, poses. The places and art historical tropes that provide the couple’s backdrop are allusions that correspondingly occupy space at the back of the artist’s mind. Though the viewer is presented here with a moment of staged intimacy, Gribbon is more honest with her own point of view in these works: the conglomerate titles making explicit the amalgamated construction of the works, as blended moments drawn from physical and metaphysical places in Gribbon’s life.
Opposingly, the clamp light works present a deconstruction. They are grammatical studies, breaking down the roles of the artist, viewer and subject and the relationship between them. The importance placed on slight in these works feels instantly theatrical and performative and plays with the traditional formal role of light affecting color. Light does not cast its dramatic glow from beyond the canvas but is brought to centre-stage, revealing the process used to compose the works with a simple clamp light. Whoever is holding the light plays the active role: it is a physical manifestation of the gaze. When pointed by the artist, the light illuminates yet imposes the subject as they squint and shield themselves from the discomfort it causes; when the subject holds the light, the vision of the artist, and viewer, is obscured as full comprehension of the scene is denied. With the spotlight pointed at the viewer the balance is flipped as we squirm under the gaze of surveillance, making it impossible to ignore the question of whether we are truly wanted, or needed, in the scene.

The firm’s installation is titled “The Autonomous Street: A Day in the Life of Future Shenzhen” and formally opened on December 21st within the city’s Futian underground high-speed railway station.
An interactive model, the centerpiece of the show, imagines how autonomous vehicles can change the urban landscape of Shenzhen. The concept derives inspiration from a past competition scheme for a major Chinese technology client, introducing and combining methods of visual representation and technological innovation to the gallery setting.
KPF’s installation was housed within the “Eyes of the City” section of the Biennale. Esteemed curators collaborated on this section’s curation, such as Carlo Ratti, an MIT-affiliated expert in smart cities, Michele Bonino, an architecture professor based in Milan, and Sun Yimin, an engineering professor based in China.
The 2019 Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism and Architecture (UABB) is currently the only biennial exhibition in the world that deals exclusively with the theme of urbanization. Co-organized by the two neighboring and closely interacting cities of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, UABB situates itself within the regional context of the rapidly urbanizing Pearl River Delta. The event concerns itself with globally common urban issues, extensively communicates and interacts with the wider public, is presented using expressions of contemporary visual culture, and engages in international and avant-garde dimensions as well as discourses of public interest.

Wizard Vyr's Amazing Arcana Fresh 70 Starter Build (Patch 2.7.5 / Season 28)
This build is a starter build for fresh Level 70 Wizards who have access to the Vyr's Amazing Arcana set.
This guide is part of our Wizard Seasonal Progress Guide, which also includes a leveling build and other early builds for fresh 70 characters.
Fresh 70 Build
|Arcane Torrent Static Discharge Teleport Wormhole 1 Archon No rune chosen 2 Magic Weapon Force Weapon 3 Energy Armor Force Armor 4 Slow Time Stretch Time|
How to Play the Build: Skills and Rotation
On the surface, the Vyr starter build shares many skills with the leveling and fresh 70 build, but keep in mind the alternate form and namesake of the build — Archon. You will be striving to maximize its uptime and damage potential through various gear and skill choices. To summarize the Archon form playstyle, alternate between Arcane Strike versus melee and Disintegration Wave versus ranged, but favor ranged engagements due to your dependence on the Manald Heal interaction with the Archon channeled beam for damage. Abuse your free Teleport to reposition or find new engagements.
In your normal Wizard form, you will be replacing the leveling Disintegrate for Arcane Torrent Static Discharge spamming, since the latter will reset your Archon via its interaction with a cubed Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac — a vital legendary for the build. You will reposition with Teleport, using Wormhole when you overpower the difficulty or Safe Passage when lacking Toughness. You can keep damage buffing skills like Magic Weapon Force Weapon, Familiar Sparkflint and Storm Armor Scramble from the fresh 70 build, but remember to swap them out for Magic Weapon Deflection, Slow Time Stretch Time and Energy Armor Force Armor respectively if you push into GRs. Passives will differ somewhat from the leveling build — you will keep the immense utility of Illusionist and the ranged damage buff of Power Hungry, but you will also emphasize on your cooldown needs with Evocation and lean into your Manald Heal procs with Paralysis.
Gear and Builds Using This Set
The build above is specifically created not to require any additional sets or legendary items. In order to transition to a late game-oriented spec using the same set, we have a rough list of high priority items to obtain, as well as a link to the build they pertain to.
- Vyr Archon Build — Chantodo's Will and Starfire (wands); Chantodo's Force (source); Fazula's Improbable Chain (belt); The Swami (wizard hat); Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac, Manald Heal and The Compass Rose (rings); The Traveler's Pledge (amulet); Ashnagarr's Blood Bracer and Nemesis Bracers (bracers); In-geom (1h sword).

In males, testosterone is synthesized primarily in Leydig cells. The number of Leydig cells in turn is regulated by luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). In addition, the amount of testosterone produced by existing Leydig cells is under the control of LH, which regulates the expression of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.
Testosterone does a lot more than you’d think, whether we’re talking about male or female biology. It’s the hormone that helps you burn fat, build muscle , and increase your sex drive , and its power doesn’t stop there. Keeping your testosterone levels in a normal range can make you happier, too , and testosterone can even improve your cardiovascular health and decrease your risk of mortality (from all causes!), according to a study of 83,000 older men who underwent testosterone replacement therapy .

The rise in testosterone levels during competition predicted aggression in males but not in females. Subjects who interacted with hand guns and an experimental game showed rise in testosterone and aggression. Natural selection might have evolved males to be more sensitive to competitive and status challenge situations and that the interacting roles of testosterone are the essential ingredient for aggressive behaviour in these situations. Testosterone produces aggression by activating subcortical areas in the brain, which may also be inhibited or suppressed by social norms or familial situations while still manifesting in diverse intensities and ways through thoughts, anger, verbal aggression, competition, dominance and physical violence. Testosterone mediates attraction to cruel and violent cues in men by promoting extended viewing of violent stimuli. Testosterone specific structural brain characteristic can predict aggressive behaviour in individuals.

Studies conducted in rats have indicated that their degree of sexual arousal is sensitive to reductions in testosterone. When testosterone-deprived rats were given medium levels of testosterone, their sexual behaviors (copulation, partner preference, etc.) resumed, but not when given low amounts of the same hormone. Therefore, these mammals may provide a model for studying clinical populations among humans suffering from sexual arousal deficits such as hypoactive sexual desire disorder.
High intensity exercise is crucial to boost testosterone (13). Exercises should be explosive in nature and maximize the resistant overload on the muscles. Large muscle group compound lifts such as squats, deadlifts & burpees are some of the best testosterone boosting exercises. The training session should be short (5-30 mins) and have very little rest periods between sets.
In my late 20’s, I visited an anti-aging doctor who was one of the pioneers of what we now call functional medicine. I got a full hormone test. Shockingly, my testosterone was lower than my mother’s. No wonder I felt crappy and was overweight. My other sex hormones were out of whack too, especially my estrogen levels. They were high because the little testosterone I did make my body converted into estrogen. I went on a mix of topical replacement testosterone cream, plus small doses of pharmaceuticals like clomid and arimidex in order to keep my other sex hormones functioning properly.
Keep more weapons in your arsenal: Occasionally use lifting methods like forced reps, negatives, and dropsets to further stress your body. Personal trainer and fitness journalist Michael Berg explains in "6 Ways to Crank Up Your Testosterone Levels" that going beyond muscular failure with these techniques has been shown to pump up T-levels in study subjects.

These researchers took saliva samples from recreational women athletes before and after playing 10 minutes of flag football. The data showed that this short, intense burst of competitive sport triggered the immediate release of testosterone. Interestingly, the subjects' mental state also contributed to the data. Self-rated performance scores were directly related to testosterone levels.

A new 100 MW (135,000 Hp) adjustable speed drive system has recently been installed in the NASA Langley National Transonic Facility. The 100 MW system is the largest of its kind in the world and consists of a salient pole synchronous motor powered by a 12-pulse Load Commutated Inverter variable frequency drive. During system commissioning the drive line torsional vibrations were measured with strain gages and a telemetry-based data acquisition system. The torque measurements included drive start-up and steady-state operation at speeds where the drive motor’s pulsating torques match the drive line’s torsional natural frequency. Rapid drive acceleration rates with short dwell times were effective in reducing torsional vibrations during drive starts. Measured peak torsional vibrations during steady-state operation were comparable to predicted values and large enough to produce noticeable lateral vibrations in the drive line shafting. Cyclic shaft stresses for all operating conditions were well within the fatigue limits of the drive line components. A comparison of the torque measurements to an analytical forced response model concluded that a 0.5% critical damping ratio was appropriately applied in the drive line’s torsional analysis.
