What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?

So, what does hormone replacement therapy refer to? It is basically a method used for increasing specific hormone levels in the body which have declined with the growing age of the person. Women mainly undergo estrogen treatment to fight problems like hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, vaginal dryness, and night sweats suffered after menopause. Men generally opt for testosterone hormone replacement therapy to improve muscle tone and get help in proper erectile function. These two are the most common types of hormone replacement therapies opted by people. This kind of treatment is typically required by a person in his forties or fifties though the problem has become common in people in their thirties as well.

Types of Hormone Replacement Therapies

At present, the most common types of hormone replacement therapies include HGH, testosterone, estrogen and combine estrogen and progesterone treatment.

HGH refers to human growth hormone. This kind of treatment is available for both males and females whose blood tests for Insulin Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) are not up to the required level and show that their bodies don’t produce the required quantity of somatotropin.

Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapies

Though testosterone is basically related to male sex hormone, it is necessary for both the genders for various benefits and adequate sexual desire and activity.

Estrogen therapy is mainly given to women who have gone through the process of hysterectomy. The combined therapy of estrogen and progesterone is given to women who have their uterus intact. Estrogen and progesterone are synthetic hormones whereas HGH and testosterone are biologically identical therapies.

With innumerable benefits of hormone replacement therapy, people undergoing the treatment find improved arousal, better performance, and increased desire for pleasure in their lives.

Of course, the benefits achieved by individuals are according to each individual’s personal needs. Some of the benefits of testosterone treatment include improved sexual functions and responses, increased lean muscle mass, tone, and strength, Stronger bones, thicker hair and possible regrowth, improved focus and memory, lower cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, deeper sleep, increased energy and stamina, improved mood and outlook and increased red blood cell production.

HGH injections mainly given for growth hormone deficiency offer all the benefits including various other positive results as well. It gives tighter, firmer skin, stronger nails, improved immune system functions and shorter recovery times, increased cellular regeneration, internal organ growth, and support and possible eyesight strengthening.

Women receiving estrogen or a combined therapy of estrogen/progesterone get the benefit of cessation of menopausal side effects, improved brain functions, mood and outlook boosting, thicker hair, better sleep, and improved muscle function and bone density.

These Grooms Got Engaged After An Amazing Performance At NYC Pride

John Rabbia and Michael Richman are both members of the Flaggots, an LGBT color guard troop. They also happen to be dating. The pair first met at a party the night before their first Flaggots practice three years ago in New York City.

So it’s only fitting that Rabbia would propose following a Flaggots performance during NYC Pride. The pair got engaged on June 26 after performing in a color guard routine to the tune of Jess Glynne’s “Hold My Hand.” Watch a video of the performance and proposal below. 

Near the end of the performance, one of the troop members pretended to sprain his ankle to distract Richman, while Rabbia made his way over. After Rabbia proposed, Richman of course said “yes!”

“I wanted to propose to Michael the same way that we met: spinning flags at Pride,” Rabbia told The Huffington Post.

He spent nearly a year planning the proposal, which required the participation — and discretion! — of the entire Flaggots crew. 

“When it came time to practice the routine, I asked two of our friends to invite us out to dinner early enough that we would have to leave and miss the end of practice,” Rabbia said. “That’s when the rest of the group learned the part where I proposed. When we showed up the day of the parade, one of my friends pulled me aside and showed me a video of the proposal choreography so that I would know when and where to go.”

Rabbia and Richman have both been involved in color guard since childhood, and they are both instructors to this day.

“I experienced a great amount of ridicule for being effeminate and for outwardly doing color guard as a kid,” Richman said. “So, naturally, it feels so rewarding to know the activity that I was ridiculed for is the very activity that has brought me the most amount of joy in my life.”

The pair hope their engagement video, which went viral after it was posted on Facebook on June 26, will help to build a more tolerant future.

“The most unexpected and heartwarming bit of feedback we’ve gotten has been from heterosexual families who have said that they used the video to talk to their children about marriage equality,” Rabbia said. “Juan Ramon Guerrero and Christopher Leinonen, the couple killed in the Orlando shooting, should have had a moment every bit as magical as we are having but it was taken away from them. I hope the video of our friends and our joy can show everyone, young and old, that love is love is love.”

Coverage of the Istanbul Bombing Proves Once Again That American Media Care Little About Muslim Lives

It’s becoming increasingly challenging to believe that U.S. media actually care about Muslim lives. Why do I say that? Simple: they don’t cover terror attacks carried out or planned against Muslims with the same zeal as attacks against others.

The latest example came after the horrific terror attack Tuesday night at the Istanbul airport that left at least 43 dead and over 230 people injured. Of those killed, it is likely that 30 or more of the victims were Muslim given that, according to Turkish officials, they come from predominantly Muslim countries: 23 Turks along with five Saudis, two Iraqis, a Jordanian, a Tunisian and an Iranian.

Many, including myself, expected media outlets to cover this incident with at least the same intensity and breadth as they covered the Brussels terror attack in March that left 31 dead. Then we saw American news media spring into action, sending a cadre of anchors and reporters to Belgium providing “wall-to-wall coverage.”

It’s becoming increasingly challenging to believe that U.S. media actually care about Muslim lives.

NBC’s Matt Lauer and Lester Holt anchored live from Brussels. MSNBC’s host Chris Hayes and anchor Thomas Roberts went to report from the streets of Belgium.

When outlets like CNN consider a story especially important, they tend to bring out their top anchors. For Brussels, there was extensive coverage, some anchored by Anderson Cooper, showing the gravity of the situation. “Good Morning America” featured a special edition on the attacks as well. But Istanbul wasn’t afforded the same treatment. Yes, there was widespread coverage Tuesday night on cable news channels in the hours after the incident. But come Wednesday, there appeared to be little to no anchors there from major American media outlets on the streets of Turkey. There was no special segment on Istanbul with Anderson Cooper. We didn’t witness an outpouring of touching stories about those lost or detailed profiles about the heroism of the several Turkish police officers killed in the attack. And as the day wore on, Istanbul became just one of many big stories covered in the news.

The message sent by the American media, intentionally or not, is that when there’s an attack on a nation like Turkey that is 99 percent Muslim and the victims are primarily Muslim, it simply isn’t that important.

And shockingly even when right-wing Americans plot to kill Muslim Americans on U.S soil, there’s little media coverage. You might be asking: What terror plots on Muslim Americans? Well that’s part of the problem.

There’s Glendon Scott Crawford, a Klan member, who was convicted last August in federal court for trying to “acquire a radiation weapon for mass destruction” to kill Muslim Americans in New York State. He was convicted and facing a sentence of 25 years to life in August 2015, but we didn’t see many national headlines for this story.

Does the name Robert Doggart ring a bell? It should but it’s unlikely you heard about him. Doggart, a Christian minister who wanted to carry out a mission for God, was arrested for planning to murder Muslims in Islamberg, New York, a primarily African American Muslim community. Doggart had hoped to kill the Muslims there using explosives, guns, and even a machete to cut the people “to shreds.” Doggart’s trial is currently scheduled for August.

Is the lack of media coverage because there’s an empathy gap for Muslims lives? Or is it that the media executives simply believe Americans don’t care and won’t watch stories about Muslims killed by terror attacks?

When I personally pitched the Doggart story to cable news producers last year after it broke, I was given a rash of reasons why they didn’t believe it merited national coverage from he must be “mentally ill” (he isn’t) to it’s simply not a national news story. If Doggart had been a Muslim cleric plotting to slaughter Christians, does anyone doubt it would have made national news?

Is the lack of media coverage because there’s an empathy gap for Muslims lives? Or is it that the media executives simply believe Americans don’t care and won’t watch stories about Muslims killed by terror attacks?

It’s not clear, but considering the news is a business, I’d suspect the second reason is more at play. After all, this week we didn’t see an outpouring of “Je suis Turkey” type postings and Facebook didn’t create a Turkey filter for your profile the way it created a France one after the Paris attack.

Russell Simmons, who is not Muslim, called attention to this disparity with his tweet Tuesday night, “Why is there no uproar when Muslims are killed by terrorists in the holy month of Ramadan? no memes on Instagram , prayers for Turkey,nothing.”

Why does it matter if the American media doesn’t cover Istanbul to the same extent of Brussels? Coverage of the victims, hearing from their families, etc., goes a long way to humanizing Muslims. It gives a human face to Muslims, which is a powerful counter-narrative to the way some on the right in American politics want to depict us.

Second, coverage of Muslim killed by terrorism would make it clear to our fellow Americans that the number one victims of the so-called Islamic State are in fact Muslims. This hopefully will cause many to realize that we Muslims are united in fighting ISIS since the terrorists are slaughtering Muslims daily.

Will American media change? Only if they are pushed by people to do so by their consumers. Sadly it seems at this point that the U.S. media’s lack of caring for Muslim lives reflects a view held by far too many.

What in the sorcerous hells is this? Kokichi Sugihara’s ‘Rectangles and Circles’ illusion is a mind-bending visual trip that turns squares into circles and circles into squares right in front of your face. Different shapes are placed at a mirror and what you see in front of you is totally different from what you see in the mirror. It’s like the mirror is actually a portal to another dimension where squares are circles and circles are squares. Seriously … what the hell?

The Xikar Windproof Lighter will burn brightly on the windiest mountain top

Xikar Windproof Lighter

You find yourself trekking to the great outdoors, where bugs, weather, and grass that is just tall enough to touch your ankle can affect you. Let’s just hypothesize, for fun, that you are in need of a small flame to deal with a task that calls for fire, such as a loose thread, campfire, or lighting up a smoke. Should the winds ever be against you, a normal lighter is not going to do so well as the unseen enemy will keep blowing your flame out, barring you from the heat for which the tool you brought out was meant for.

If you would prefer such an instance never befall you, or want to make sure one such does not happen again, then it might be in your interests to acquire a Windproof Lighter. This plastic, single-thumb ignition switch lighter will not only give you a strong flame, but one that reaches over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Try snuffing that out, wind!

The rubberized body will help you keep your grip even in more rugged situations, and the flame will still blaze hot at heights up as far as 12,000 feet. It refills easily with butane, and has a flame adjustment wheel for different needs. You can choose between black, blue, clear, and green, and it will cost you anywhere from around $20-23 depending on which color you choose. One would hope that the functionality wouldn’t waver due to the variation in color as the strange pricing somehow suggests that.

I-1 Analog Instant Camera – Take Your Indie Hipster Cred to a Whole New Level

I1 ANalog Instant Camera

We generally tend to use whatever camera is available at the cheapest price for the best quality. Those who can afford to get the higher ticket items that have better lenses and features usually get things that are for specific projects that are more technologically advanced. There are those who appreciate vintage machinery though, making art by polishing up old relics that produce as beautiful of an end result as the carefully cared for product from which it came.

While Polaroid cameras were all the rage a few decades ago, they resurfaced as a hot item that was difficult to get your hands on. The I-1 Analog Instant Camera has taken that Polaroid craze and created a product that will suit the advanced yet retro aesthetic. This takes the point and shoot that we loved from Polaroid and adds in a ring light that will give you diffused light for portraits.

Since this is working with the modern world, you can also connect it to your iPhone and add in light painting, double exposure, and other goodies. If you would prefer the aperature and shutter speed to be in your complete control, you only need to switch over to manual mode. While it’s going to be an initial sticker shock at $349.99, it does at least come with three packs of film. It can work with I-type and 600 type film, which of course will take more money to get it developed. Happy shooting!

Spotify Claims Apple Won’t Approve Their Latest App Update

spotify-1As it stands, Spotify is probably the king of the hill when it comes to music streaming. Last we heard, Spotify was boasting 100 million subscribers, of which 30 million are paid subscribers. However could it be that Apple is trying to stifle the competition? That seems to be what Spotify is implying in a letter sent from the company’s lawyers to Apple’s lawyers.

So far what has happened is that Spotify alleges that Apple will not approve their app’s latest update. The company claims that Apple is demanding that Spotify use the iTunes billing system otherwise it would have violated their app store’s business model rules, hence the rejection, or so they say in a letter sent by Spotify’s general counsel Horacio Gutierrez to Apple.

“This latest episode raises serious concerns under both U.S. and EU competition law. It continues a troubling pattern of behavior by Apple to exclude and diminish the competitiveness of Spotify on iOS and as a rival to Apple Music, particularly when seen against the backdrop of Apple’s previous anticompetitive conduct aimed at Spotify … we cannot stand by as Apple uses the App Store approval process as a weapon to harm competitors.”

Spotify isn’t the first company to try and circumvent the iTunes App Store when it comes to in-app purchases and subscriptions. As Apple takes a 30% cut from each purchase, it isn’t surprising that Spotify encouraged users to try and sign up via its website instead. However earlier this month Apple announced that they would be changing that to a 15/85 split in favor of developers and publishers, but apparently Spotify thinks it isn’t good enough.
