text: Student Profiles Anna Troyansky '06 Anna Troyansky '06 Major: French Hometown: Lubbock, Texas Why did you choose to come to Bowdoin? During my college search, I realized that I wanted a small liberal arts college that provides its students a solid academic curriculum, many extracurricular opportunities, and a dynamic social life. For me, Bowdoin fit this description. In terms of my studies, I was drawn to Bowdoin for its strong Environmental Studies Program and its location relatively close to Quebec where I could speak French every once in a while. It was also a plus that Maine was about as far away as I could get from west Texas while staying in the United States. I was excited to start afresh here at a school that no one from my hometown had ever attended and that most people I knew had never heard of. Still, the area was somewhat familiar to me since I have extended family in New England, helping make me more comfortable in the transition. Why did you choose your major? I have been interested in French ever since I lived in France for two and a half years as a child. An appreciation for the language and the culture was thus instilled in me at a young age and so it is not much of a surprise that I am a French major. Majoring in a language that I already spoke pretty fluently was not an easy way out of meeting requirements. Instead, the French courses at Bowdoin are not just centered on grammar and learning to speak, an area in which I had an advantage, but are instead wide reaching and include analysis of French and Francophone literature, cinema, culture, and media. I enjoy reading, writing, speaking, and listening to French, and being able to incorporate that into my academic pursuits is very satisfying. Being a French major also gave me the opportunity to spend a full year studying abroad in France while all my courses worked towards the major. What has been your favorite course at Bowdoin? It is difficult to choose only one course, but my current French senior seminar titled "Writing Corporeality in France," and taught by Assistant Professor of Romance Languages Katherine Dauge-Roth, is turning out to be one of the best classes I have taken at Bowdoin. Comprising just seniors, the level of French is quite high and people tend to be more comfortable speaking than they do in some other language classes. Dealing with literature, philosophy, and art from many different periods, all revolving around the subject of the body, is a different approach to a French class and it makes for engaging, wide-ranging discussions. Another class that I found especially interesting was Visiting Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies Jill Pearlman's course on "City and Landscape in Modern Europe." Never before having taken a history class at Bowdoin, this interdisciplinary course between the environmental studies program and history department required me to take a different approach to topics with which I was relatively familiar. I was particularly drawn to this class since I had visited a few of the cities we covered with while I was abroad. Have you engaged in any independent research while at Bowdoin? I am currently working on an honors project in the French department with Professor Katherine Dauge-Roth on French fairytales and folktales. I was inspired by a class I took while studying abroad in which we analyzed the structure of tales of Grimm and Perrault, and I decided to continue such studies back here while taking a bit of a different approach. Using many versions of a certain type of story in which parents abandon their children in the forest, widely-known through the version of Hansel and Gretel of the brothers Grimm, I am exploring the relationship between popular oral versions of the tales, collected by folklorists in the 19th and 20th centuries, and literary versions that, in France, began with the vogue at the end of the 17th century. Reading and analyzing so many stories is a lot of fun, a crucial element that makes such a time-intensive project enjoyable and worthwhile. What extracurricular or work experiences have you had at Bowdoin? My first semester at Bowdoin, I worked in the dining hall, cutting vegetables and serving food; though I did not continue that work for long, I did get to know the staff who works there and I have tried to remain loyal to them by eating most meals at Moulton. After that experience, I got involved in theater and worked in the costume shop and as part of the stage crew, running lights and sound and working the fly rail during performances. I also was involved in some Masque and Gown productions during my freshman and sophomore years. Since then, I have worked for Events and Summer Programs. I work for them year-round, and I spent two summers on campus as intern and then as head intern, coordinating conferences, camps and events that use campus facilities while students are gone. Bowdoin has a very different feel to during the summertime and there is much more time than during the regular academic year to get to know the area. Throughout my time at Bowdoin, I have also tutored through the Portland Housing Authority, a volunteer program where we go down to Portland once a week to work with junior high and high school students (mostly immigrants) with their homework, whether it be in math, science, history, English or Latin. Did you study abroad during your time at Bowdoin? I studied abroad during my entire junior year through the Hamilton College Junior Year in France program. After a brief orientation in the coastal town of Biarritz in the south of France, we went to Paris where we lived with host families; I was housed with a very welcoming older woman whose grandchildren would visit every once in a while. I attended a couple classes through my study abroad program, which familiarized me with the Paris theater scene and architectural history, but I took most of my literature and linguistics courses at the Parisian universities alongside French students. Being in the French school system has a totally different atmosphere from the academic character of Bowdoin, and I grew to appreciate both systems. Being in Europe, I took advantage of many opportunities to travel, whether it was in France on weekend trips with HCJYF or trips during vacations to Italy, Prague, Stockholm, Switzerland and Scotland. It was a wonderful year and I am very happy that I took the full year, as a semester would not have been long enough to fully immerse myself. What is your best Bowdoin memory? One of the moments I remember the most clearly and very fondly was going skating on the quad late one night during freshman year. After hanging out in our dorm for most of the evening, a bunch of friends from our tight-knit proctor group decided it would be a good idea to go out on the ice in sneakers since most of us did not own skates yet. This entailed a lot of slipping and helping each other up, and forming a chain to support everyone as we went back and forth from one end of the ice to the other. That night, we became especially close, and this group of friends is for the most part still intact even as we finish up our Bowdoin careers. What are your plans for after graduation? After graduation, I plan to teach, preferably using my French and preferably at the primary school level. I am still in the midst of organizing for next year, but I intend to be an assistant teacher in English somewhere in France - a position offered through the French government. Upon returning to the United States, I will either get teaching certification or try to find a job in a private school teaching French. Perhaps I will eventually get a Masters in Education or French or even Linguistics, but for now I am leaving it open to see where next year leads me. What advice would you give to a prospective student or first-year about the Bowdoin experience? Most importantly, branch out and explore! Don't be afraid to try something new. College is a time to figure out who you are and what your interests are, and you will grow so much over these four years if you don't limit yourself. The Bowdoin experience is not just about classes; strive for a good balance between academics and a social life. Meet people and do not be too quick to judge others since there are so many interesting people on campus. In passing, say hi to people you don't even know. This is something many seniors remember when first coming to Bowdoin and is sometimes forgotten. Try to bring back "the Bowdoin Hello"!

These coupons he/she can randomly pick and you make their wish come true. 2) If you crib your partner is always busy at work, surprise them with a 2-Minute Date. Show up at his/her workplace with flowers and ask them out to go with you on date for just two minutes. Hire a taxi and arrange a table for two, at the nearest possible point and drink coffee, then get into the taxi and drop them off to their workplace but not before you tell them you had a great date and a gift! 3) Write a Love Letter to your partner, sprinkle a little perfume, tie it with a ribbon from a nightie (you'll be wearing, in case if you are a girl and gift it , in case you are a boy) and slip it under the pillow the night before. 4) Gift a ring or pendant that comes in two pieces, that is when both the pieces join together to complete the ring or the pendant. Truly symbolizing that you become complete with him/her. 5) For guys; pamper your partner with a manicure or pedicure with you at a Unisex saloon and for the girls; pamper your partner with a romantic dinner!

Wal-Mart inks deal to open in-store clinics in 200-plus locations
BENTONVILLE, Ark. Wal-Mart has announced that it will open in April its first co-branded in-store health clinic in Atlanta, Little Rock and Dallas, paving the way toward having 400 co-branded clinics by 2010.
"We know that America's healthcare challenges are larger than any one corporation, but we're committed to doing our part to expand access to quality, affordable health care—our commitment to partnering with local hospital systems is evidence," stated John Agwundobi, Wal-Mart's senior vice president and president of health and wellness. "Throughout our convenient clinics pilot, customers told us that we are providing a service that benefits their communities. We are confident that our new model of partnership with hospital systems will provide access to quality healthcare services for folks who don't want to wait in a busy emergency room or can't get in to see their physician."
There currently are 77 limited-scope medical clinics open in Wal-Mart stores across 12 states through several partnerships with independent healthcare clinic operators. As widely reported, walk-in clinic operator CheckUps recently closed 23 clinics in Wal-Mart in four southern states.
Now, the big box retailer has inked a deal with clinic operator RediClinic and local hospital systems to open the co-branded clinics, dubbed The Clinic at Wal-Mart, in 200 Wal-Mart Supercenters. Wal-Mart also has signed a letter of intent to partner with St. Vincent Health System, a part of the Catholic Healthcare Initiatives system, to open four co-branded clinics in Little Rock.
Responding to the news, Citigroup analyst Deborah Weinswig said in a research note that she expects the move to drive new prescription customers and bolster front-end sales.
"Wal-Mart is giving operators a turnkey solution: offering a 500+ square foot clinic with all the bells and whistles. The operator will get major brand visibility and will not have to negotiate for space or location, deal with building permits, contractors of suppliers. Meanwhile, Wal-Mart can standardize the clinic experience no matter what store patients visit," stated Weinswig.
She noted that she believes Wal-Mart is changing its retail clinic strategy on the heels of the closure of CheckUps by now requiring that clinic operators within its stores be either a hospital system or be closely affiliated with one.
The Clinic at Wal-Mart, owned and operated by St. Vincent Health System, is expected to open in Little Rock by the end of April, as will the clinic owned and operated by RediClinic in association with a local hospital system in Atlanta. By the summer, Wal-Mart expects to open co-branded clinics with RediClinic and a local hospital system in Dallas.
"Wal-Mart Supercenters are a great venue for RediClinic and its health care system partners because there are millions of customers in these stores every day who need easier access to the high quality, affordable health care that we provide," stated Web Golinkin, chief executive officer of RediClinic.
The clinics operated by both RediClinic and St. Vincent plan to accept health insurance plans including Aetna, Humana, Blue Cross Blue Shield and others.
HearAtLast opens 19th Canadian Wal-Mart location, names Mele to board of directors
TORONTO HearAtLast, an operator of hearing aid clinics, has opened its 19th location within a Wal-Mart store in Canada and appointed Louie Mele, president of McDonald's Restaurants of Canada, to its board of directors.
The grand opening of the new location within the Airdrie, Alberta Wal-Mart Store is slated for Feb. 8. HearAtLast currently owns and operates 18 hearing clinics in Wal-Mart Stores, Wal-Mart Supercenters and Sam's Clubs in Canada. It also recently opened its first free-standing clinic in the United States in the adult community The Villages, Florida.
Meanwhile, HearAtLast has appointed Mele to its board. McDonald's Canada signed an agreement with Wal-Mart Canada in 1994, and today McDonald's Canada is the largest licensee of Wal-Mart Canada with 200 satellite restaurants co-located within Wal-Mart stores throughout Canada.

Why is it better to hire pest exterminators than use supermarket and surface spray products?
Supermarket products are extremely weak and have nearly zero residual effect after spraying.

Through Russwurm's Eyes: 'The Conditions and Prospects of Haiti'
Story posted March 01, 2010
John B. Russwurm, the College's first African-American graduate and thought to be the third African-American to graduate from an American college, delivered a commencement address in 1826 that resonates nearly 184 years later.
The speech, "The Condition and Prospects of Haiti," was delivered 22 years after Haiti won independence from France.
An excerpt from the speech:
May we not indulge in the pleasing hope, that the independence of Haiti has laid the foundation of an empire that will take rank with the nations of the earth — that a country, the local situation of which is favorable to trade and commercial enterprise, possessing a free and well-regulated government, which encourages the useful and liberal arts, a country containing an enterprising and growing population which is determined to live free or die gloriously will advance rapidly in all the arts of civilization.
We look forward with peculiar satisfaction to the period when, like Tyre of old, her vessels shall extend the fame of her riches and glory, to the remotest borders of the globe-to the time when Haiti treading in the footsteps of her republics, shall, like them, exhibit a picture of rapid and unprecedented advance in population, wealth and intelligence.
Read the speech in its entirety.
About John Russwurm
Russwurm was born in Port Antonio, Jamaica, the illegitimate son of a white planter and a black slave. His father, John Russwurm, of a wealthy Virginia family, went to Jamaica after completing his education in England. He sent his son, John Brown Russwurm, to Quebec at age eight so that he might receive a good education. Soon after moving to Maine, his father married Susan Blanchard. Russwurm then came to live with his father's family, where he was accepted by his step-mother as one of her own. Russwurm stayed with the family even after his father died, continuing his education at Hebron Academy in Hebron, Maine. His step-mother and her new husband helped him to enroll at Bowdoin in 1824.
After graduation, Russwurm taught at Primus Hall, a school for black children in Boston. In 1827, he became junior editor of The Freedom's Journal, the first newspaper in the United States owned, operated, published and edited by African-Americans. The journal opposed the idea of African-American colonization of Africa until Russwurm became senior editor. He was forced to resign his position (1829) for expressing strong views on colonization that antagonized many. The same year Russwurm emigrated to Liberia where he worked for the American Colonization Society, serving as colonial secretary (1830-34) and as editor of The Liberia Herald. He then joined the Maryland Society, which recognized the importance of black leadership in their colony, and made him governor in 1836, a post he held until his death.
In 1833, Russwurm married Sarah McGill, daughter of Lieutenant-Governor McGill of Monrovia. They had three sons and a daughter.

The characters played by Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. are frequently described as "dashing" or "swashbuckling." What most people don't realize is that he was equally so in real life.
In the late 1930s, Fairbanks had been active in the William Allen White Committee lobbying for U.S. entry into the war, so it was no surprise that he was ready and willing to serve. As he was already a movie star, Fairbanks could have spent the war years in film. Instead, he chose to be commissioned as a reserve officer in the U.S. Navy six months before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
A committed Anglophile, Fairbanks was assigned to an officer exchange program under British Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten's Commando staff in the United Kingdom. Fairbanks became deeply skilled in the art of military deception while participating in British training and cross-channel operations with the Royal Navy. He studied at the HMS Tormentor Advanced Training and Amphibious Operations Base and at the Commando Training School in Scotland.
Upon being transferred back to Virginia Beach, Fairbanks was under the command of Admiral H. Kent Hewitt and about to invade North Africa. He was instrumental in Admiral Ernest King recruiting men for the Beach Jumper program, begun in 1943, which would simulate amphibious landings away from the actual landing beaches, causing the enemy to believe that theirs was the principal landing spot.
Fairbanks was assigned to develop, supervise, and coordinate all plans with the British, and is credited with bringing special tactical deception to the United States Navy. Beach Jumper was successful at Sicily, Salerno, Southern France, and the Philippines.
For his planning and participation, Lieutenant Commander Fairbanks was awarded the Navy's Legion of Merit with bronze V for Valor, the Italian War Cross for Military Valor, the French Legion d'honneur, the French Croix de Guerre with Palm, and the British Distinguished Service Cross, the Silver Star for valor, and the National Order of the Southern Cross. This is very impressive for any military service member and, in 1949, Fairbanks was made Honorary Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
However, his career did not end with the war. He stayed with the Naval Reserve and retired as a captain in 1954. In 1990, he spoke with a journalist about the death threats his family received after he formed the White Committee.
"Why did I do it? I can only describe it with words that are considered rather corny these days: conviction, conscience, doing what I thought was right, the hell with the results."

When John Harsanyi came to Stanford University as a candidate for the Ph.D., I asked him why he was bothering, since it was most un likely that he had anything to learn from us. He was already a known scho lar; in addition to some papers in economics, the first two papers in this vol ume had already been published and had dazzled me by their originality and their combination of philosophical insight and technical competence. However, I am very glad I did not discourage him; whether he learned any thing worthwhile I don't know, but we all learned much from him on the foundations of the theory of games and specifically on the outcome of bar gaining. The central focus of Harsanyi's work has continued to be in the theory of games, but especially on the foundations and conceptual problems. The theory of games, properly understood, is a very broad approach to social interaction based on individually rational behavior, and it connects closely with fundamental methodological and substantive issues in social science and in ethics. An indication of the range of Harsanyi's interest in game the ory can be found in the first paper of Part B -though in fact his owncontri butions are much broader-and in the second paper the applications to the methodology of social science. The remaining papers in that section show more specifically the richness of game theory in specific applications.STATIC AND DYNAMIC MODELS The most anatural explanation for a social fact is in terms of some other social variables belonging to the same time period. For instance, the most obvious way of explaining the nature of English literature inanbsp;...

hi.. i have a friend who had a relationship with this married man.. just few months a go.. the wife found out about them and had in her possession a copy of their Facebook chats.. in their case, concubinage is not applicable because their relationship is long distance..they only see each other few times in a year.. the wife had been threatening my friend and his husband that she's going to file legal cases if they don't follow her conditions. My questions are: are the cases the wife can file to my friend bailable? is the Facebook chat a strong evidence although the guy used other name in his account? what actions can my friend do to fight against the wife? and lately we found out that the wife has a mental problem, can she use that against her? I will appreciate your answers sincerely. Please do not judge my friend. I just really need this information. Thanks.

if she files a case, i would ask that those chats be excluded from evidence because it would be a violation of the privacy of communication

thank you po sa reply.. so meaning to say po..kung yun lang ang evidence nia hindi sapat yun? tsaka madismiss po kaya ung case against my friend and her bf kung mgfile ng annulment si guy against his wife being mentally ill as a ground? thanks po

Evidence presented is not sufficient and would rather constitute another violation.
Yes, a spouse being mentally ill can be a ground for annulment.

How is INFRARED THERMAL IMAGING used in the work place?
Electrical Programs
Electric motors should have a band around the center of the motor that is warmer than any other part of that motor. Once the motor is up to running speed then the rotor rises to magnetic center, it also move axially to the magnetic center. At that point the rotor and the bearings are actually floating if you will. They are essentially unloaded. There should be no heat there from friction and they should be cooler than the center of the motor or the band that we are looking for.
Notice the center of the motor is showing the heat band that we are looking for. The outboard and the inboard bearings are both cooler than the center of the motor. If either one of these bearings shows hotter than the center of the motor, we have a bearing problem. We do not know yet what that problem is but we do know we have a problem.
The problem could be;
Or it could be any one of several potential problems, this is the first indicator of a problem arising.
Motor control centers are unique in that they have several different potential problems. Loose wire connections seem to be the most often incurred problem. The wire when energized heats up and expands or swells some, when it is de-energized it then cools back down and contracts back to it's smaller state. Infrared Thermal Imaging allows us to see the heat that is built up at those loose connections. It takes more power to jump across
that gap therefore more heat at that point.
Notice the C phase wire connection in the image above. It show hotter than the wire either side of it. The same load coming from the same source to the same machine, they should be nearly the same.
Again the center wire is showing hotter that the outside ones. Also notice how the wire seems to cool off as it get farther away from the connection. This usually indicates a loose connection at the hottest point.
These connections need to be pulled and cleaned then reinstalled making sure that all wire connections are tight.
Fuse clips will start to lose their spring tension at approximately 200°. When this happens the fuses get loose and then we have a gap in the fuse clip. be it ever so small it still takes more power to jump across that gap. The more power the more heat. Once these clips have lost that tension they can not be repaired, and should be replaced. Some of the highest heat and the most potential for melt down is found in problems with fuse clips.
Notice the A phase fuse clip in the image above. This is a bad connections and will only get worse until the problem is resolved.
As can be seen in the above images, there is potential for some real problems here. We can not see these problem developing with our own eyes, thus INFRAED THERMAL IMAGING extends our sense of sight to enable us to see the problem so it can be corrected before it becomes a real problem.
Power Distribution Centers
This is where when something goes wrong it can be catastrophic and cause hundreds of thousand of dollars in major damage. The bad thing here is that when it happens it usually takes several other components out within it adding to the cost of repairs and to the down time while making those repairs.
These could include;
Most of the problems we find in this type equipment are in the switching equipment. Ether on or off switching or fuses. The dip switches set out in the weather all the time and gather dust and corrosive materials. Thus they start to corrode. This corrosion builds up resistance and resistance causes heat. These are seldom ever checked and in fact never dealt with unless there is a problem and most often they are the problem.
Notice the cut out switches in the image above. We are not sure of the temperature of these switches but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell that there is a potential problem here. A melt down in these switches shuts down the entire plant, the down time alone would be astronomical in costs.
Here again we see all three phases are showing heat from looseness and corrosion. This was to a plant that makes in the neighborhood of $250,000 a day profit. There is no question about what it would cost to be shut down for a week while damages from a melt down were fixed. What about the collateral damage that occurs when this go out. The costs just keep piling up.
We have a real potential problem here in this metering station. Again a melt down here would be very expensive, but these systems are seldom ever checked.
Here we have the potential for a major problem. This is the load side of a very large transformer. Notice the B phase is hotter that the A phase and the C phase. With the heat showing on this cone as it is this indicates that the problem is on the inside of the tank. The heat is conducting to the outside. Notice the wire connections and appear to be clean and tight. This also indicates that the heat source is inside this transformer. This problem is not going to go away. These kind of problems do not heal themselves.
Smaller transformer with single conductor wire can also cause problems. We have a lot of these in small substations that power the small towns out in the rural areas. If one of the $1.25 connectors melts down it blacks out the entire city. These should be checked on an annual basis.
Overhead buss bars are a real problem that we can not see with our eyes and we are never up there to check them. Vibration from truck and trains and forklifts work the butt splices in the bars loose and then we have heat building up. No one ever gets up there and checks these connections, INFRARED THERMAL IMAGING allows us to check from the ground.
Mechanical Programs
Shaft to Shaft
Shaft to Shaft misalignment is the second leading cause of premature motor failure. The stress that is placed on the inboard bearings from a direct misalignment severely shortens the life of that machine. With INFRARED THERMAL IMAGING we can see the heat from that stress and sometimes we can even see the heat build up in the coupler.
Notice the heat build up on the two inboard bearings. This is one of the first indicators of possible misalignment.
Here we see the rubber in the center of this Martin style coupler heating up from being worked back and forth by the hubs that are severely misaligned. Notice the heat in the inboard motor bearing and on the shaft of the pump.
Pulley to Pulley Alignment
This alignment is most often overlooked and left to a straightedge to align the pulleys. This not only places undue stress on the bearings but will ruin the v-belts in a very short time. Usually you will see the powder from the belts rubbing the pulleys and wearing off, this severely shortens the life of both the belts and the machines. These should always be laser aligned if for nothing else but to save on the matched sets of belts.
This is a single belt drive that is obviously misaligned. Notice the heat that is placed in each pulley because the belt is not running true. This is a simple alignment that should be completed every time the belt is changed. You can see in the image that this one was just tightened up and turned on.
Notice the heat from the belts slipping on the pulleys on this gearbox and motor.
This could easily be corrected with a proper alignment.
Hot Bearings
When it comes to shortening the life of a bearing heat is the biggest problem we have. The main reason for grease is to lesson the friction between the rolling element and the race thus causing less heat to build up. Here we must also address the subject of over greasing. there is more damage done to bearings by over greasing than there would be if we did not grease them at all. Over greasing builds up the old grease and then it becomes an insulator and holds the heat in the bearing causing more damage.
Notice the leaking around the end bell on this motor. This is the first indication that a motor has been over greased. Then it starts to heat up, so what do we do, we grease it again.
Motor bearings should be greased by Ultrasound and using a grease made specifically for those motors and their speeds. All purpose grease is for the farm, not for the manufacturing plant.
The image above is a pillow block bearing that is heating up. This could be caused by the belts being too tight, or by being dry, or by misalignment or a combination of all of the above.
Pressure Relief Valves
As we can see this Pressure relief valve is holding just fine. If it were leaking by the discharge pipe in the front of the image would be hot from the heated water and steam escaping through the leaking valve.

- For other uses, see Daedric Artifacts.
Of the seventeen Daedric Princes, sixteen have an artifact attributed to them in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Before these artifacts can be obtained, however, specific tasks called Daedric quests must be performed. Two of these Daedric quests involve the reward being a choice between two artifacts, one quest being the "The Black Star" and the other being "Ill Met by Moonlight."
Azura's Star or The Black Star
This reusable soul gem is awarded for completing "The Black Star" quest.
Azura's Star has the ability to trap white souls, or those of non-sentient creatures. These souls can be used for enchanting and for recharging previously-enchanted weapons.
The Black Star has the ability to trap white and black souls, or those of sentient beings, instead of only black souls. It functions like a Black Soul Gem which traps all souls up to the Grand level, in it.
This One-Handed sword is awarded for completing "The Break of Dawn" quest.
Dawnbreaker sets enemies on fire, while also dealing more damage to undead like draugr and vampires and has a chance to make undead explode into blue flames upon death, which damages and causes nearby undead to flee, in the same sense as Bane of the Undead.
Ebony Blade
This Two-Handed sword is awarded for completing "The Whispering Door" quest.
The Ebony Blade absorbs 10 points of health from enemies per hit, but can be upgraded only by slaying friendly characters (such as a person whose favor has been completed).
For every two such characters killed the weapon increases in power, adding two to the strength of the absorb health, up to the maximum of 30. Due to coding errors, it levels up two-handed, but benefits from one-handed perks. This has been fixed with patch 1.9.
Ebony Mail
This piece of unique armor is awarded for completing "Boethiah's Calling" quest.
The Ebony Mail is a heavy armor cuirass that is enchanted with the muffle effect and inflicts 5 poison damage per second to nearby enemies. It also produces a shadowy effect while sneaking. This is the only piece of armor other than boots that has been known to be enchanted with muffle, making it very useful for upgrading Sneak.
Mace of Molag Bal
This unique one-handed weapon is awarded for completing "The House of Horrors" quest.
The weapon not only damages 25 points of stamina and magicka per hit, it also steals the soul of an enemy if they die within three seconds.
Masque of Clavicus Vile
This unique Heavy Armor helm is awarded for completing "A Daedra's Best Friend" quest, but only if the Dragonborn chooses to give Vile his axe instead of using it to kill Barbas.
Masque of Clavicus Vile holds the following enchantments:
Mehrunes' Razor
This unique dagger is awarded for completing the "Pieces of the Past" quest.
Mehrunes' Razor's enchantment has a 1.98% chance to instantly kill any opponent, with the exception of Miraak and Karstaag .
Oghma Infinium
The Oghma Infinium is a powerful tome of knowledge that is awarded for completing the "Discerning the Transmundane."
When read, the Oghma Infinum will grant a permanent 5-point boost to all skills related to any one of the three major guardian constellations: the Warrior, the Mage, and the Thief.
Ring of Namira
This ring is awarded for completing "The Taste of Death" quest.
The Ring of Namira grants the user with a 50-point Stamina boost and the bonus of feeding on corpses granting +50 health and +50% health regeneration.
Sanguine Rose
This unique staff is awarded for completing "A Night to Remember" quest.
The Sanguine Rose summons a leveled Dremora to fight for the wielder for sixty seconds.
Savior's Hide and/or Ring of Hircine
Either of these items is a potential reward for completing "Ill Met by Moonlight" quest, in a certain manner.
Savior's Hide is a unique light armor cuirass that may be obtained if Sinding is killed at the conclusion of the quest. It provides the following benefits
The Ring of Hircine may be obtained if Sinding is helped during the quest. Its enchantment grants the wearer unlimited werewolf transformations per day, assuming that the wearer is already a werewolf.
Skeleton Key
The Skeleton Key is the only Daedric Artifact known not to count for the achievement, Oblivion Walker. It is obtained during the Thieves Guild quest "Blindsighted."
The key is a decorative, unbreakable lockpick. It may be kept indefinitely so long as the player elects to delay progress any further in the Thieves Guild questline.
Skull of Corruption
This unique staff is awarded for completing the "Waking Nightmare" quest if Erandur is killed.
The Skull of Corruption deals 20 points of damage, but increases to 50 if powered with dreams collected from sleeping people. Casting the staff at them while sleeping will gather five dreams for the staff. Casting at an NPC while they're awake, however, will be treated as an attack.
The staff has a range of effect on it and also has a unique screen illusion when casting.
This unique shield is awarded for completing "The Only Cure" quest.
When blocking, it produces a Ward-like effect that protects the user from fifty points of magic damage.
This unique warhammer is awarded for completing "The Cursed Tribe" quest in Largashbur.
Volendrung, also known as the Hammer of Might, absorbs fifty points of Stamina per hit. It is essentially a giant stamina sponge, as many two-handed weapons use a lot of stamina for their power attacks.
This unique staff is awarded for completing "The Mind of Madness" quest.
The Wabbajack casts an unpredictable spell whose effect ranges from transforming enemies into other creatures to casting a random destruction spell to even fully healing enemies.
Daedric Artifact - Weapons
|+10 Fire Damage; May cast Bane of the Undead on killing an undead
|Ebony Blade

|20 Damage, or 50 if powered with dreams from sleeping people
|Absorb 50 Stamina
|Random spell effect, instant kill, heals target or changes target into another random creature
- The attack of the weapon is the same as the level as you got it.
Daedric Artifact - Apparel
|Ebony Mail
|Muffle while sneaking and a continuous 5 poison damage with an area of effect on hostiles. Gives off a black "shroud" effect while sneaking.

|Masque of Clavicus Vile
|Prices are 20% better, +10 Speech, and Magicka regenerates 5% faster.
Daedric artifacts - other items
|Azura's Star / The Black Star
|Reusable Grand Soul Gem / Reusable Black Soul Gem
|Oghma Infinium
|Once only, +5 Skill Increases to your choice of Combat, Magic, or Stealth skills
|Skeleton Key
|Unbreakable Lockpick that must be returned at the end of the Thieves Guild quest.
(There is a lockpicking perk for unbreakable normal lockpicks.)
| Daedric Influence
Acquire a Daedric Artifact
| Oblivion Walker
Collect 15 Daedric Artifacts
- For the Oblivion Walker Achievement/Trophy, fifteen of the artifacts must be owned by a single character, not spread out through multiple characters' save games. However, it is not necessary to have all 15 at the same time, only to have obtained them at one point.
- If Erandur is desired as a follower, and still unlock the Oblivion Walker achievement, it's best to keep the Vaermina quest for last. Make a save game right before Erandur begins his ritual to destroy the Skull.
- The Skeleton Key does not count towards Oblivion Walker.
- It is most rewarding to obtain the Ebony Blade before any other Daedric Artifacts, as many of the Daedra Quests involve killing people the Dragonborn has done quests for. (The only people that are killed are the ones that gave the initial quest; or none at all, and they aren't needed to complete the game.) It's best to get the Ebony Blade before proceeding with the Civil War questline. If the Dragonborn attempts to do it afterwards, they'll find that it's no longer the same Jarl (but it can still be done).
- It's still possible to do the "The Whispering Door" quest after completing the Stormcloaks' side of the war by starting the quest as normal, however the former Jarl of Whiterun will be located in the Blue Palace in Solitude, so a trip there to talk to the Jarl must be made, after this the quest will go as normal.
- To collect all of the Daedric Artifacts as rapidly as possible, the Dragonborn will need to be at least Level 30, because Level 30 is the character level that starts the quest "Boethiah's Calling." It can be started by either approaching the Sacellum of Boethiah, or by reading the book Boethiah's Proving.
- It is possible to get both of Hircine's artifacts (see "Ill Met by Moonlight") and both count towards the Oblivion Walker achievement. This could help if one of the other artifacts becomes unavailable (e.g., failing a quest). (Confirmed PS3 & Xbox 360 & PC)
- All of the Daedric Artifacts can be sold.
- Artifacts can't be destroyed for their enchantments.
- Dawnbreaker and Spellbreaker can be combined for effective combat. This combination is most useful in the College of Winterhold questline. As Tolfdir asks us to go to Saarthal, where we fight a lot of draugr and in Labyrinthian also. This is also useful in dragon fights and main quests.
- Sometimes, Hold Guards will comment to the Dragonborn about certain Daedric Artifacts if equipped.
- The Rueful Axe does not count as a Daedric Artifact, despite it being a possible reward from Clavicus Vile. It can be kept by using it to kill Barbas on Vile's orders and its enchantment does 20 points of Stamina damage.

Fucking Nazi's. Since writing my open letter to the tiki torch-carrying losers, more information about their actions has been revealed through photos and video footage. And of course, the murder of Heather Heyer. I can't pretend to be as shocked as most seem. The overwhelming ignorance of oppression in America is like forcing the oppressed to smoke two packs of non-filtered cigarettes a day. We can barely fucking breathe, and people think we experience the same lives they do. Most non-oppressed people have no fucking idea what we go through. They've seen some videos now, and are starting to believe we struggle, but they STILL don't get it yet.
They have little frame of reference because they think watching Roots brought them up to speed. They believe now overt slavery is banned, we're all living equally ever after. They think Obama succeeds because of Affirmative Action, rather than sheer will, hard work, and drive most can't even comprehend. They hate him because his existence reminds them how pathetic they are in comparison. He achieved something incredible, and instead of motivating them to work harder, it enraged those who don't even dare try out of fear of having their darkest fear proven correct. They're terrified of looking at themselves, because they know there's nothing great to see. The utter lack of effort they've put into building themselves up destroyed any self-esteem they managed to develop. They surrendered before even trying because it was easier.
How many of you know someone branded by racist pricks? I served with someone who bore this scar (while honorably serving the nation that enabled his torture.) They used the same tools they use to torture livestock. He escaped before the lynching. This happened in the 70's in America before the internet made it easier to expose racist evil. When I saw his melted, scarred tissue, he quickly covered it and refused to speak of what happened.
I found out when he got drunk one night and sat up telling me his history. I lost a lot of ignorance and innocence that night. He was detained by racist fuckwads after school for a beat down, and was injured, (2 broken ribs from being repeatedly kicked while down.) It made him miss his bus, and he had to walk home alone. He was ambushed, beaten further, and branded, in preparation for a fucking LYNCHING.
They tried to horrifically murder him for walking down the street with brown skin. He was a 9-year-old child. It made me vomit. My childhood was heaven in comparison. (The difference being location, location, location.) My family settled in an area that isn't dominated by hate, bitterness, ignorance, and fear. In the south, they celebrate this type of behavior. Think about that. This is only one horror story. There are far, far more. This one didn't end in murder, but he'll bear the scars for life. I decided that night I'd never visit the Hate States. I would never willingly go there, knowing evil murderers walk free as a matter of course.
Not everyone in the south has committed such atrocities. However, everyone in the south lives among these demons. They're your neighbors. You might not be aware of their evil activities. Our fucking AG (attorney general) is a racist prick who lied under oath and colluded with the enemy to gain his ironic post. Jeff Sessions is what a demon looks like. (He's an angel compared to Mike Pence.) I wonder how many children he's tortured and murdered. I hope he dies in a fire. I hope all who pose as humans while behaving as demons are annihilated. They're enemies of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They're traitors to our beloved nation. Every time they inhale, it's a tragedy.
Nazi's need to crawl under a rock and stay hidden until they die as miserably as they lived. I don't differentiate between the groups, with all their various disguises. They're all one group. Enemy. Evangelicals, white supremacists, the GOP, neo-Nazi's, and whatever other names they're hiding behind. All expendable pieces of shit holding America back from achieving further greatness. All hateful and evil. All bent on ethnically cleansing the United States of America until all that remains are the privileged: Those with white skin.
Only, it won't stop there. The only way vile pseudo-humans can feel okay about themselves is to belittle and oppress others while falsely inflating their single qualifying attribute, (like 45.) It's incredibly weak and evil. Spoiler alert: Once the brown people are gone, they'll turn and come after you. Do you have brown eyes? Brown hair? Freckles? Maybe that means you're not actually white. They don't use science to make these determinations, so it's only a matter of time.
And all this evil is made possible by people who only stand up for what they think affects them directly.
It's the American way. Nazi's are exterminating people in vast numbers in concentration camps? Do we come storming to the rescue? Fuck no. We wait until a Divine Wind awakens the Sleeping (self-interested) Giant before we decide this is UNACCEPTABLE FUCKING behavior. Still, think America is number one? The world police? Think again. America is a fickle bitch who only helps when it's profitable. We value money over human life as a nation. By a long fucking shot, too. If you come between the rich and their god (money,) some of them will kill you for it. Not with their own hands, mind you. They'll hire someone to do it on their behalf so they can continue pretending their elite. Koch brothers? Fucking evil pricks bent on killing the planet to get RICHER THAN THEY ALREADY FUCKING ARE NOW. They're enemies of life. Die. in. a. fucking. fire. Koch. demons.
The only rich people who don't deserve to perish in a fire are the ones who earned their wealth through success, not through conquest and loopholes. Most are only rich because of inheritance, fraud, and theft. They cheated. They didn't spend years training themselves to excel as an artist, scholar, inventor, etc. They haven't achieved anything. They got their status for being born. They got it by a fucking loophole. They're pampered and privileged and live in bubbles of unreality. They don't live in the real world and aren't subject to real consequences or strife because their $god protects them. From everything, including murder.
The sickest part is these loophole lottery winners rarely contribute to humanity in any way. They don't create. They consume disproportionate resources. They pollute more with their private jets and multiple McMansions. They usually live and die unnoticed, having done nothing of note. Most of them aren't even happy in their perfect lives because they can't trust anyone to love them sincerely. Here's a hint: It's because you bypassed the type of life that leads to good character. You were too busy being pampered and elitist to deign to even speak to someone who isn't worth a billion dollars, so you don't know anyone who isn't a human decoration with no purpose but to consume and look cute while doing it. Sad!
It pisses me off because it's such a waste. What if Einstein had a father like 45, and was rewarded for existing? What if his potential was smothered with excess and sycophancy? Those who put forth nothing and gain everything are a waste of oxygen, a bad example to those more impressionable than reasonable, and a drain on our planet's resources with zero returns. If a leech attaches to your body, you pull it off and shudder in disgust. Why aren't we doing the same with the parasites draining the lifeblood out of America? I don't understand why we continue jumping off the cliff like fucking lemmings. The only way I can conjure an explanation is to accept the planet is rejecting homo sapiens as a species.
It would explain why we aid in our own murders. Why we venerate our killers rather than annihilating them. We as a nation are fucking pathetic because we usually don't give a fuck until it hurts. Short-sightedness, ignorance, and evil are steering humanity toward utter destruction. We're failing at survival because a few fuckwads want more wealth than they've already stolen. It's never enough because it doesn't fill the void where their souls should be. Instead of recognizing this, they just keep taking more. Allowing them to continue is America's shame and pending destruction.
If there is consciousness after death, and I highly doubt it, we'll just use it to lament our pathetic failure to survive. It's easier to give up, surrender, look away, walk away, and pretend it'll all go away if we do nothing. We're dying as a species because life took too much effort for some people to bother even trying to live honorably. I'm starting to think it might be for the best. When I see Nazi's brutalizing citizens while openly brandishing weapons so powerful the police take cover, I think maybe homo sapiens is a virus, and the planet would be better off without us.
My protective nature is beginning to recognize the planet is more worthy of saving than we who are destroying it. I'm starting to think I've wasted my life loving humans more than trees and seas. I'm finding it harder to recognize our potential as a species because it's buried under so much hate it can only be seen with faith. Why? Because a few are unbelievably evil, and for some reason, we don't kill them for it. We let them lay waste unmolested and pretend we couldn't prevent it. We all lose if we don't stop them. Our extinction event is set to be self-destruction. No comets, aliens, or zombies necessary.

Why ought to Viagra concern ladies? At the point when ladies experience menopause, the hormonal changes they encounter regularly prompt a drop in moxie and less enthusiasm for sex. It's tendency following all the way through - simply one more stage in the female life cycle. It's the way we're manufactured and modified, naturally talking.
So what do we do about Viagra and the other ED (erectile brokenness) drugs that are presently ordinary and advertised straightforwardly to men in TV ads and magazine promotions?
It's a critical inquiry to contemplate, in light of the fact that as each lady knows, it takes two to tango. Viagra's effect on men's sexual experiences likewise effects ladies' sexual experiences.
• Viagra is advertised to maturing men whose female partners are experiencing their own particular sexual emergency - menopause. These ladies need less sex however their accomplices now need more.
Isn't this unreasonable? Doesn't this transform the room into a war zone during an era when ladies are powerless (e.g., feeling of emptiness after the last kid left home, feeling less alluring as we age, physical changes because of menopause including balding and weight pick up, and so forth.)
• It appears that Viagra brought up a significant number of issues for wedded ladies about conjugal commitment, for instance. Of course, different letters reflected fervor about spouses feeling solid and certain after a time of barrenness, so the reaction to Viagra in the populace is very mind boggling.
It's not just around a man having the capacity to have pleasurable sex. It's additionally about force and predominance, virility notwithstanding maturing. It's a route for men to deny that they are past their sexual top. What are the long haul suggestions for a general public that has Viagra in its medication armory?
• Viagra was the harbinger of things to come as the pharmacology of maturing and sexuality (sexual medication is in development mode post-Viagra).
• The majority of this is because of a mix of, in addition to other things, evolving demographics (e.g. maturing populace), direct to purchaser promoting/buyer based medication (Viagra being one of the first medications to be publicized specifically to the customer) and pharmaceutical extension.
See that Viagra's ubiquity fits in a specific social crossroads in our history, and there will be/have been a lot of different items to take after (counting medicines) that underline the sacred triumvirate: youth, imperativeness, and execution.
Once more, now that the beginning interest variable has vanished, it is misty how effective sexual brokenness solution truly is. Viagra has impelled a few like items – Cialis and Levitra. Be that as it may, the refill rate on every one of the three is low.
Viagra is positively sociologically noteworthy as it has highlighted numerous social issues in the way we do wellbeing and sex and sexuality in our general public.
Is Viagra use normal inside of the overall public - men of all ages? How can this influence conduct or modify men and ladies' sexual closeness?
It is hard to discover demographic data about who utilizes Viagra, yet in Internet chatrooms, specialists' workplaces, drug stores, and so on you discover men of all ages inspired by talking about the medication.
I talked with young fellows who had bought Viagra out of frailty - an 'in the event of some unforeseen issue' circumstance where they felt they needed to experience some social standard their first time and had obtained the pills (or acquired them) to have some certification of sufficient execution.
The life of people has become so much busy that they do not care of their health. The importance of health is very great. People should do a great care of their health. In this era, different health problems have become the part of our lives. Some of them are common health problems which can be treated by the simple medicines. On the other side, there are many medicines which are being used for the treatment of sexual problem. Sexual problems have increased so much in our lives due to different reasons. One of the main reasons of sexual problems is the depression and many health problems.
In this article, I shall give you a brief knowledge about sexual dysfunction in women and its treatment by the use of Viagra. What is sexual dysfunction? This is a common question that is asked by many women. Sexual dysfunction means the lack of arousal, libido and orgasm. When a woman faces such problems in sexual activity, it means that she has become a victim of sexual dysfunction. She should go for the medical treatment of this sexual problem. Most of the doctors recommend the use of Viagra for the treatment of this health problem.
Why this medicine is considered best for its treatment? No doubt, there are many medicines which are also used for this purpose and people are using them as a replacement of Viagra but their effectiveness is not very good. People expect a good result from the use of a medicine. When they do not get such results by a medicine, they go for the use of other treatments. L-arginine amino acid cream, DHEA and Testosterone therapy are those ways which are adopted by different women.
There are many side effects of using Viagra. You should have the knowledge about its side effects before using it. Diarrhea, flushing headache, dizziness, nasal congestion and rash are some known side effects of Viagra. Some side effects are caused by the excessive or wrong use of Viagra while some are caused by the use of Viagra with other medicines. For example, the use of Viagra is extremely harmful for the health, if it is used by those medicines which are used for blood pressure treatment. If you are facing this sexual problem, you should meet your family doctor and talk about this sexual problem. He knows better than you that what medicine will be effective for you.
Viagra is available in many doses in market. You doctor will suggest you the right dose according to your health condition. If you are suffering with high blood pressure and diabetes, your doctor may recommend you 25mg dose of Viagra. Similarly, he may change your dose if you are quite healthy. The available doses of Viagra are 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg. Most of the doctors recommend the use of 25 and 50 mg Viagra because of its severe side effects. A heavy dose of Viagra can cause a lot of problem for your health in future.
The life of working men is becoming busy day by day and work burden is increasing. Due to numbers of responsibilities, men find a very less time for their medical checkup and then become the victim of health problems. Their family members also ask for recreational time with them but they give a very short time. This thing also increases the differences between family members as well as in relatives. It is advised to such people that they should manage their time so that they can spend their time in each type of daily activity.
On the other hand, those people who remain unable to manage their time give a very short time to their health. In such a way, they suffer with numbers of health problems. Sometimes they even do not consult with a doctor and use ordinary medicines for the treatment of health issues. As a result, their life comes in danger zone and the health problem becomes the cause of permanent tension. Such people should go for a medical checkup if they feel that they are suffering with any medical problem.
Let us discuss about pulmonary hypertension and its treatment with the help of Viagra. By the use of Viagra, the arterial wall relaxes and decreases the pulmonary arterial tension and pressure. In such a way, if the blood flow is low becomes normal and the affected person becomes normal in a few days. If pulmonary hypertension is not treated immediately, then it can also cause heart disease that would be very dangerous for your health. Well, the Viagra is sold with the name Revatio if it is used for pulmonary hypertension. The chemical composition is same as that of Viagra but only name differs. Viagra, in form of Revatio, comes only in one dose that is 20 mg.
The use of Viagra or Sildenafil citrate is highly suggested to those who have altitude sickness. Such people have fear of heights and they face problem in mountain climbing. So these people take Sildenafil citrate before climbing on the mountain. This thing keeps them in their own senses and as a result that easily climb up the mountain. Initially it was not confirmed that whether Sildenafil citrate can help in the treatment of other health problems or not but now it is being used for multi-purposes. This is all about the use of Viagra. You can know more about it from internet.
In 2004, Pfizer Inc., the creators of the Viagra pill acquainted with enhance men's sexual wellbeing and working declared that they would be forsaking eight years of past examination directed trying to add to a medication like Viagra to enhance female moxie and sexual wellbeing. Different items intended to enhance sexual wellbeing in ladies are accessible, yet can these Viagra choices give compelling results when it comes in expanding sexual craving in ladies?
Viagra works by obstructing a chemical that goes about as an inhibitor of blood stream. In men, this can bring about penile tissue to swell. At the point when a man takes Viagra, there is an increment in blood stream to the genital regions, which in this manner treats erectile brokenness or weakness in men. The same compound inhibitor influencing male sexual brokenness impacts pelvic blood stream in ladies. The Viagra exploration group endeavored to discover a connection between excitement in ladies and pelvic blood stream in the early phases of trials.
On the other hand, this endeavor fizzled, and a few specialists even recommended that genital excitement in ladies does not as a matter of course create sexual yearning in ladies as it normally does in men. Ladies may characterize sexual excitement in light of mental and passionate, and also natural elements. As per a percentage of the scientists taking a shot at the Viagra group, Viagra for ladies or a Viagra option may help ladies confronting sexual brokenness because of reactions of other pharmaceutical.
In situations where sexual yearning is restrained because of enthusiastic or mental variables, a female Viagra arrangement may not be pertinent.
Then again it's not an instance of popping a pill and getting to it - as it is with the men's minimal blue pill - Viagra. In the event that ladies need to see and feel results from the home grown supplement they need to take two pills a day.
Be that as it may, producers Pharma Nord claim it is justified, despite all the trouble, as the plant-based sustenance supplement enhances poor dissemination, which they say is connected to a debilitated sex drive.
Sexual brokenness is exceedingly predominant in ladies, particularly post-menopausal, and they normally encounter issues, for example, absence of enthusiasm for sex, torment amid intercourse or issue coming to climax.
Around 43% of ladies experience the ill effects of some type of sexual brokenness. Sexual brokenness in ladies is portrayed by an absence of craving, excitement, or climax. Absence of craving is thought to be the most widely recognized protest among these ladies.
Around 20% of these ladies report experiencing issues with oil, which can be helped by Viagra-like medications that may build blood stream to the private parts.
Some normal variables that hinder ladies' sexual wellbeing include:
Understanding and Wellbeing
When we are told that men have their brains in the wrong place, it is quite natural that we might get upset. But it is also true that most men are always preoccupied with the thought of sex most of the times. This phenomenon is not only limited to the young but even with older men too. Billions of dollars are spent by men in search of better sexual experience as well as to increase their libido. The net result is that people have a different view about sex and much of their idea about sex is hyped.
Sex is but a natural biological drive similar to thirst and hunger. In fact sex and health are closely related. When men engage in excessive sex, they end up having health problems. Loss of vitality and vigor is the first result of excessive sexual engagement. Sexual libido is directly the result of hormones that are produced and activate in the body. Along with the growth life cycle of the body, the sexual drive too has a life cycle. With puberty, the hormone production peaks in the youth and this is why we call them hot blooded as they tend to be very passionate and aggressive. With the reaching of adulthood, the libido continues to be strong but the lifestyle and the other environmental effects on the body does take its toll on the individual's overall health as well as his libido. Men who are on high profile jobs that is stressful and high responsibility roles tend to effect their vitality and libido as well. Exhaustion and stress are the two major reasons that rob man of his libido.
Modern day lifestyle has given rise to lifestyle diseases as well due to the sedentary habits. Diabetes and blood pressure are the two major contributors to the lifestyle diseases. Both these are known to cause erectile dysfunction in men by affecting the blood supply to the nerves in the penile erectile tissues. In such event the individual has no option but to seek medical assistance to find solution to the problem. An active lifestyle is very essential in the middle ages to maintain good physical health as well as good sexual health. The sexual hormone production in the body remains stagnant and steady at this period.
Approaching fifties signals the onset of andropause in men wherein the body begins to reduce the production of testosterone hormone and this results in the reduction of sexual drive in men. This is also a very critical age at which most men are likely to find themselves facing health problems either hereditary or due to environmental and lifestyle factors. Reduction of sexual drive needs to be understood and accepted by the individual as a natural aging process. However in reality many men refuse to accept the changes in their body health and their libido and go looking for various means and solutions to increase their libido thus damaging their health further.
Sex is not purely a physical function or drive but has also to do with one's mind and emotions. Scientists will tell you that the pleasure during sex is experienced in the mind and not in the body. Understanding of these factors Is essential for every man to be able to develop the right attitude and idea about himself, his sexual health as well as his overall health and well being.
Beauty Is Within Each One Of Us
Everything in creation is beautiful. Creation is nothing but manifestation of god's love and beauty. The variation in the colors of flowers, of the woods, the birds and the beauty of human heart are all the expressions of the divine spirit in beauty.
Each and every one of us is always looking to express beauty from within. At the external level we all want to look beautiful. This is not enough. We want to be beautiful persons from within too. So what do we mean by wanting to be beautiful from within? Not many of us give a thought to how we feel from within. Most of the people today are restless with worries, with too much of anxiety, tension and challenges of life. All of these are hurdles to expressing the beauty of the spirit within. Let us explain it a little more. Man's nature is peace and love. When one is fully at peace with himself meaning his mind and heart are at rest without any worries or distractions, he is overcome with a sense of love and peace that exudes as beauty. The day to day life is engaging the mind all the time and causing it to be restless. That is why man loves to sleep because then the mind and heart are at rest and he is peaceful. When one is peaceful and brimming with love or positivity, you can see it in their eyes as well as in their whole being. It makes you want to be in their company all the time for it makes you feel good and you want to drink of that peace that they are enjoying.
Women who wish to look beautiful do not have to go around spending hundreds and thousands of dollars looking for beautification treatments that promises them eternal beauty and youth. Any external aid to beautification of the body is not long lasting. It is when the beauty is expressed through the pure heart that makes you beautiful and you begin to attract other people. When people say that you are beautiful, it does not necessarily mean that you are physically beautiful. Physical beauty is only one part of the aspect of visual beauty. Of course not all of us are endowed with physical beauty. Most of us are average looking people and only few are endowed with god given beauty in the form. However each and every one of us has a chance to become beautiful persons and beings by becoming beautiful and pure within.
The key to our inner happiness is to have the right thoughts that are in sync with our inner voice or conscience. Each of us is guided rightly by our inner conscience. However the voice of the inner self is drowned in the restless desires and thoughts that are gathered by the mind through the external sense perceptions. By stilling the mind using meditation techniques and by changing our inner environment we can become beautiful inside and reflect the same beauty outside as well.

Mourinho hints at Cech exit
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has hinted that the club are willing to let Petr Cech leave this month.
Cech has been a mainstay of Chelsea's squad since arriving at Stamford Bridge from Rennes a decade ago.
However, he faces stiff competition for a starting berth this season after Belgium international Thibaut Courtois returned to Chelsea following three hugely impressive seasons on loan at Atletico Madrid.
Courtois is believed to be in pole position to start the campaign as Mourinho's first choice, while Cech's agent claimed last month that there had been interest in his client from Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain.
Mourinho admits he has a tough decision to make but appears to have opened the door for Cech's departure by hailing Courtois and confirming he would be comfortable continuing to use veteran Australian Mark Schwarzer as his back-up keeper, as he did last season.
"Petr is ready to fight for his position but Thibaut is the best young goalkeeper in the world, no doubts about that," Mourinho is quoted as saying by the English media.
"They will fight and for me it's a good problem to have to make a decision.
"We are a club that wants to be strong and wants to have a real possibility of competing for trophies and we want competition for places.
"But I know that Mark Schwarzer is a very good keeper, very stable and a good man, completely ready to be our second goalkeeper like he was last season and to give positive performances if we need him to play.
"So if he's our second goalkeeper, we will feel very safe with him."
