6 Unexpected Reasons That Causes Erectile Dysfunction

Filed under: Men's Health — Admin @ 3:35 pm, April 27, 2021.

What Is The Main Cause Of Erectile Dysfunction?

Today, all over the world, there are about 150 million men who suffer From ED. But the truth is that there is no single cause, due to which men all over the globe, suffer from erectile dysfunction. Various men would suffer from male sexual impotence, due to various reasons. So, if one man is suffering from ED for one reason, it does not mean other men will also be suffering from reason of weakness in man, for the very same reason.

There are many reasons why men all over the planet suffer from impotence in men and these are inclusive of:

  1. Physical causes.
  2. Psychological causes.
  3. Injuries

Most people have no clue as to what causes erectile dysfunction. In fact, there are some men who do not even know that they are suffering from ED. And then there are those men, who know that they are suffering from weakness of man in bed, for the simple fact that they have seen the warning signs of erectile dysfunction in themselves and they are well aware of them – but they have an ego that tells them that nothing is wrong with them. But for now, let is take a look at…

6 Unexpected Reasons That Cause Erectile Dysfunction

You may be suffering from ED for a reason that you never ever imagined was possible. Here are 6 unexpected reasons why you may be suffering from ED:

  1. High Blood Pressure And Medications Used To Treat High Blood Pressure: If your blood vessels are healthy and there is good enough blood flow entering your penis, this is sufficient enough to give you a good hardon. But if the blood pressure shoots up, this could lead to your blood vessels being damaged. And because of this, they get less elastic and their capability of transporting the same volume of blood, quickly, diminishes. There are also certain medicines that are used to treat high blood pressure, medicines like diuretics and beta-blockers which can increase your chances of getting erectile dysfunction.
  1. Infected Gums: How can gums that are infected cause you to suffer from ED? Studies have shown that if you suffer from gum diseases or you have chronically inflamed periodontitis, you have an increased chance of suffering from ED. There was a recent study done on mice, which suggests that there is a link between ED and gum diseases. But what this connection between gum disease and erectile dysfunction in humans is, is not clear till now. If a person suffers from gum disease, this is a sign that the person has poor health in general and this has been linked to the person having an increased risk of suffering from heart disease, which happens to be yet another indicator of a risk factor for ED.
  1. Medicines Taken For Enlarged Prostate And Hair Loss: There are some medicines which when used to treat an enlarged prostate and hair loss in men, can lead to a man suffering from the loss of libido and erectile dysfunction. These medicines work by decreasing the amount of dihydrotestosterone that circulates in the blood. Dihydrotestosterone is the sex hormone of males, which helps a man in keeping his sex drive.
  1. Cycling: If you spend too many hours cycling, that too without changing your position, this can result in damage to your nerves and this can give rise to erectile dysfunction.
  1. Male Friends And Colleagues: Her male friends, your male friends, her male colleagues, your male colleagues – they can cause you to suffer from ED. Yes, no matter how hard you might find this to believe, studies have shown that this is true. Your wife or fianc or sexual partner spending more time with male friends – yours or hers and colleagues – yours or hers, is a condition that can cause you to suffer from erectile dysfunction. Studies indicate that if your wife or fianc got closer to friends or colleagues, your chances of you keeping an erection or even getting it, can be much lower, as compared to a man whose wife or partner did not associate with male friends or male colleagues.
  1. High Levels Of Cholesterol: If your level of cholesterol is high, it increases your chances of you getting atherosclerosis, a condition in which the arteries become narrow and also clog. And the result is the reduction in the flow of blood. Because of this, the arteries which are present in your penis, are not able to let enough blood flow into your penis, to give you an erection.

Other Erectile Dysfunction Causes

There are many other reasons why you could suffer from erectile dysfunction and some of these are:

  • Smoking: This leads to damage of your blood vessels, inclusive of those blood vessels that supply blood to your penis. Without blood flowing into your penis, you would not be able to get an erection.
  • Peyronie’s Disease: This disease causes your penis to be curved and when you get an erection, it gives you a lot of pain and thus causes you to suffer from ED.
  • Diabetes: If you have diabetes, your nerves and blood vessels are affected. And due to this, you are at an increased risk of suffering from ED.
  • Medicines: ED can also take place as a result of it being the side effects of some medicines used such as medicines for epilepsy, medicines used to lower cholesterol, antipsychotics, medicines used to treat high blood pressure and antidepressants.
  • Depression: When you are depressed, it can cause you to lose interest in having sex and lead to you suffering from erectile dysfunction.
  • Relationship Issues: You may be facing relationship issues with your sexual partner or with some other people in or out of the house or even at your job and this could also be a reason for you to suffer from ED.
  • Loss Of Interest In Your Partner: You may no longer like your partner, the way you once used to and this could also lead to you suffering from ED.
  • Anxiety And Stress: If you are stressed out or if you are anxious about some things in your life, you could suffer from ED.

No Matter Why You Are Suffering From Erectile Dysfunction

What you need to remember is, irrespective of why you may be suffering from ED, there are millions of men all over the globe who are also suffering from the very same issue as you are. In fact, ED is one of the most common sexual problems faced by men all over the world.

Minnesota to require 25% renewable energy production

Filed under: Uncategorized — Admin @ 3:15 pm, April 25, 2021.

Saturday, February 24, 2007

This article features in a News Brief from Audio Wikinews:

Governor Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota signed a bill into law on Thursday that requires the state to generate a significant amount of its energy needs from renewable sources.

The amount of power generated by wind turbines in the state stands now at 895 megawatts. An additional 5,000 megawatts of energy from renewable sources will need to be added to Minnesota’s electricity resources, which is roughly eight times more than the amount that currently comes from renewables.

The bill signed by the Governor requires energy companies to provide 25 percent of power from renewable sources by 2025.

Xcel Energy, which supplies approximately half of the electricity in the state, is required to provide 30 percent from renewable sources by 2020.

How To Choose A Tax Preparer For Income Tax Preparation In New York City

Filed under: Tenders — Admin @ 3:48 pm, April 24, 2021.

byAlma Abell

When celebrities, or high profile individuals are in the news for a criminal case against them involving tax related charges, people often shake their heads and wonder how this could have happened, and why it happened. Taxpayers also often hear many horror stories in the news, or from family members and friends who have either had a bad experience themselves, or heard of one. Although each individual case and circumstances are different, one of the biggest fears people have in life is getting in trouble with the Internal Revenue Service for an issue with the integrity of their tax return. To make matters worse, taxpayers must deal with these fears every year when tax time comes around. Choosing a company to prepare a tax return is an important decision; however, finding Income Tax preparation in New York City with a reputable company is not as complicated as taxpayers may believe. Here are four basic things to look for when selecting a tax preparer to help make the right choice.

1. Tax preparers must have credentials, and they must have a certain amount of education they must complete before they can work as a tax preparer legally. Always ask a tax professional if they are in compliance with rules set by the Internal Revenue Service regarding their education requirements and ask if they use a preparer tax identification number assigned to them to prepare tax returns.

2. Make sure all prices for basic tax preparation services are clearly displayed in the tax preparation office. Prices will vary according to the complexity of each return and the amount of forms that must be filed for each tax return, but there should be a general outline on display.

3. Ask the tax preparer how they store their customers tax return information. By law, tax returns must be stored in a locked filing cabinet in a secure location.

4. Ask the tax preparer how many years they have been preparing taxes. This is especially important for customers who have complex tax returns.

Although these guidelines may appear to be basic, many taxpayers never ask these questions. If a tax preparer is qualified to prepare taxes, charges a fair price, keeps their customers information secure, and has experience preparing complicated tax returns, this is a good place to start to weed out those who are not qualified to provide Income Tax preparation in New York City.

Former Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian released on bail

Filed under: Uncategorized — Admin @ 3:32 pm, .

Saturday, December 13, 2008

Taiwan’s former President, Chen Shui-bian (???), has been conditionally released on bail, some ten hours after he was indicted for corruption. Speaking to media at the Taipei District Court, he said: “I want to thank my lawyers, members of the Democratic Progressive Party and my supporters who have given me huge encouragement. I am grateful to those who cared for, supported and looked after me so I could get through the hardest and loneliest 32 days of my life in prison.” He earns the historical distinction of being the first ex-president of the Republic of China to be indicted for criminal offenses and could suffer life imprisonment if convicted.

Along with 13 other family members and close associates, including his wheelchair-bound wife, son Chen Chih-Chung, and daughter-in-law Huang Jui-ching, Chen was indicted Friday on charges of embezzling government funds and laundering money or ill-gotten bribes. The panel of three judges ruled he should appear at future court hearings and must not leave the country nor change his address.

Prosecutor Lin Che-hui accused Chen of having “embezzled 104 million New Taiwan dollars ($3.12 million) from a special presidential fund, and received bribes of $11.73 million in connection with a government land procurement deal and a separate construction project; the damning piece of evidence was the presence of NT$740 million ($22.2 million) in cash stashed in a Taipei bank safety vault held by the Chens.” Yuanta Securities director Tu Li-ping said, “she hand delivered NT$200 million ($6 million) in cash to Wu at the presidential residence in 2006 on behalf of executives of an affiliated bank; the money was an incentive for Wu not to interfere with a merger the bank was pursuing.”

Chen insists on his innocence. Contradicting the 100-page indictment, he said that “the $21 million his wife wired to their son’s Swiss bank accounts came from leftover campaign donations. Taiwanese law permits such donations to be kept by political candidates.”

In 1975, Chen married Wu Shu-chen (???), the daughter of a physician. The couple has a daughter, Chen Hsing-yu (???), who is a dentist; and a son, Chen Chih-Chung (???), who, having received a law degree in Taiwan, studied at and graduated with a M.A. degree from the University of California in 2005.

In November 2006, Chen’s wife Wu Shu-chen and three other high ranking officials of the Presidential Office were indicted for corruption, charged with misappropriating NT$14.8 million (USD$450,000) of government funds using falsified documents. Due to the protection from the Constitution against prosecution of the sitting president, Chen could not be prosecuted until he left office, and he was not indicted, but was alleged to be an accomplice on his wife’s indictment.

Chen’s term as President of the Republic of China ended in May 2008. Immediately thereafter, prosecutors began investigating him regarding allegations that he misused his discretionary “state affairs fund”, as well as his connection to the first family’s money-laundering activities. He resigned from the Democratic Progressive Party on August 15, 2008, one day after admitting to falsifying past campaign expenses and wiring campaign contributions to overseas accounts.

In November 2008, Chen was escorted by a security staff, into the Taipei prosecutor’s office for questioning. After 6 hours, he left the Supreme Court prosecutor`s office in handcuffs, was arrested and detained. The charges each carry a minimum penalty of 5 years imprisonment. Following a 6 day hunger strike while in detention, Chen collapsed and was rushed to Taipei’s Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, where he was later transferred to Panchiao Hospital for force-feeding. Despite Chen’s lack of interest in appealing, his lawyer Cheng Wen-long completed a motion seeking his release from detention and filed a notice of appeal of the court’s decision, along with a petition for constitutional interpretation to restrain actions violative of the Constitution.

Prosecutor General, Chen Tsung-ming said that after Chen’s case had been removed to the Taipei Local Court, he would re-file a petition for Chen’s detention. Chen and the main opposition DPP have accused President Ma Ying-jeou‘s administration of “using the scandals to plan a political plot against the former leader.”

Meanwhile, The Straits Times reported that “prosecutors are to investigate former President of the Republic of China and Chairman of the Kuomintang from 1988 to 2000, Lee Teng-hui on suspicion of money laundering, based on allegations made by Chen during his own questioning recently that his predecessor transferred large funds abroad through dummy accounts.” Mr. Lee angrily denied the accusations concerning “a suspected transfer of 50 million Taiwan dollars (US$2.26 million) to Mr Lee from a local stock investor via overseas dummy accounts.” Charges also included transactions made at the end of Lee’s tenure and at the beginning of Chen’s term, including “one billion Taiwan dollars that had been wired to various countries including Singapore.”

The China Post calls for calm and urges fair trial for Chen. “All the people should wait patiently for the outcome of the trial … They shouldn’t do anything to influence the judges in any way, because the rule of law in Taiwan is at stake. We should show the world that Taiwan is a democracy where anybody who commits a crime, be he a man on the street or a former president, is duly punished.” it said.

Open source game developer Perttu Ahola talks about Minetest with Wikinews

Filed under: Uncategorized — Admin @ 3:25 pm, .

Tuesday, June 30, 2020

Recently, Finnish open-source video game developer Perttu Ahola discussed Minetest, his “longest ever project”, with Wikinews.

Started in October 2010, Minetest was an attempt by Ahola to create a sandbox game similar to Minecraft. Minecraft is a multi-platform commercial game, which was in alpha version when Ahola challenged himself to create something similar to it from scratch, he told Wikinews.

Minetest is an open-source game, which is free for anyone to download and play. It is written in the C++ programming language, and the source code is available on code-hosting site GitHub. According to Ahola, Minetest attempts to run on older hardware, with limited graphics, but to be accessible to more people: those who have outdated technology, and making it available for no cost. Minecraft, on the other hand, is a paid game, currently costing USD 26.95 for its computer version. Minecraft is currently owned by Microsoft, and performs poorly on older hardware.

A correspondent from French Wikinews contacted Perttu Ahola via Internet Relay Chat a few weeks ago, discussing Minecraft. This interview is built on top of the previous interview, as we take a deeper dive into knowing more about this free game which is about to turn ten years old in a few months.
