Addiction is a psychological and physical inability to stop consuming a chemical, drug, activity, or substance, even though it is causing psychological and physical harm. The term addiction does not only refer to dependence on substances such as heroin or cocaine. A person who cannot stop taking a particular drug or chemical has a substance dependence. Some addictions also involve an inability to stop partaking in activities, such as gambling, eating, or working. In these circumstances, a person has a behavioral addiction. Addiction is a chronic disease that can also result from taking medications. The overuse of prescribed opioid painkillers, for example, causes 115 deaths every day in the United States. When a person experiences addiction, they cannot control how they use a substance or partake in an activity, and they become dependent on it to cope with daily life. Every year, addiction to alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs, and prescription opioids costs the U.S. economy upward of $740 billion in treatment costs, lost work, and the effects of crime. Most people start using a drug or first engage in an activity voluntarily.

A group of researchers from 5 major medical centers found that eating a specific diet rich in nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables, whole grains and low fat dairy can be a powerful tool in lowering blood pressure.The DASH DIET( Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) was found in 1996 to lower blood pressure about the same as a blood pressure medication would, and since that time has quickly become one of the most often prescribed diets in clinical practice today.The DASH Diet is recommended by the American Heart Association, in the USDA's 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and is featured in the US High Blood Pressure Guidelines.The DASH DIET Study 459 people were chosen to participate in the DASH DIET Study. They were randomly assigned to one of three different types: -The "typical American diet" A diet with more fruits and vegetables, but otherwise similar to the typical American diet. The "DASH diet" - rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products; moderate in fish, poultry, and nuts; and reduced in red meat, sweets, and sugar-sweetened drinks. To assure they weren't doing anything else that might lower their blood pressure, participants were asked not to make any major changes in the physical activity levels during the study.Participants were weighed frequently to make sure their weight stayed constant; if someone gained or lost weight, they were given a bit less or more food to eat to get their weight back to what it was. Salt/sodium intake was the same in all three diets - slightly lower than the U.S. average, but still higher than what most guidelines recommended.The ResultsThose who ate the typical American diet did not see a change in their blood pressure. Those on the fruit and vegetable diet experienced a significant lowering of their systolic blood pressure - The upper number, which is a measurement of blood pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts to pump out blood - but little change in their diastolic pressure.But the men and women who ate the DASH DIET for eight weeks experienced a significant drop in both their systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings. Changes occurred within a week of starting the DASH diet, stabilized within two weeks, and stayed lowered for the remainder of the eight weeks.On average, blood pressure fell 5.5 mmHg (systolic) and 3.0 mmHg (diastolic) among all participants (including both those with normal blood pressure and those with hypertension).In participants with high blood pressure, blood pressure dropped an average of 11.4 mmHg (systolic) and 5.5 mmHg (diastolic).These improvements in blood pressure are about the same as what can be achieved with a single antihypertensive medication.There were positive health outcomes of the DASH diet beyond lowering high blood pressure.Most importantly, perhaps, the DASH diet lowered the study participants' cholesterol levels.When blood cholesterol is high, cholesterol and other fatty substances collect on the walls of your blood vessels and in time restrict or block the flow of blood to your heart.High cholesterol, which is generally caused by a diet high in saturated fats, is a major risk factor for heart disease.Get the book now to learn how to start and become a better individual health-wise

These cause significant changes in mood that have a negative effect on daily life. Anyone can be affected by mood disorders at any point in their life.

There are roughly 8,760 hours in a calendar year.Based on a 52-week work year, most people would work 5-days a week, for roughly 9-hours a day, while commuting 1-hour. That works out to 2,600 hours total.Subtract maybe 2-weeks of paid vacation. In theory, I would be away from my wife for 2,500 hours in the calendar year."Waking" Hours Spent Not Working (a.k.a with my partner)Subtract the hours spent away (2,500 hours) from the hours in the year (8,760 hours).That's 6,260 hours spent not working.Remember, this is "waking" hours spent not working. Let's say we sleep 8-hours per night. Multiply that by 365 nights in a year. That's 2,920 hours spent sleeping in a year. Let's subtract the time spent sleeping (2,920 hours) from the non-working hours (6,260 hours).That's 3,340 hours spent awake and not working. most people are not aware of these, the fact that you success in life is determined by the way you spent your 8760 hours of a year, you can succeed in life regardless of your background, your tribe, your race, your believe or education.

We all engage in manipulation from time to time. When your boss asks you what you thought of his or her terrible presentation and you render lavish praise, you're concealing your real feelings in an attempt to elicit the reaction you want from someone in power. But in close interpersonal relationships, manipulation can take on a much darker hue, leaving its targets never quite knowing where they stand.The very nature of manipulation makes it challenging to know when you're being manipulated. Manipulators attempt to conceal their motives and feelings, and their targets-who often struggle to sustain an honest, open, and manipulation-free relationship-may have to do some detective work to determine whether they're being played.If you're concerned that you're being manipulated, examine the tactics the other person is using. If you find yourself caught up in a web of deception and unclear motives, it could be manipulation.Some common tactics manipulators use include lying, withholding information, denying feelings, playing the victim, blaming the victim, minimizing others' feelings, pretending to be confused or ignorant, guilt, shame, and pretending that his or her tactics are intended to serve a higher calling such as God or a political cause. Manipulators also frequently use gaslighting-the process of provoking someone into an extreme or angry reaction, then blaming the other person for his or her reaction.While anyone can be manipulated, expert manipulators tend to target people with and take advantage of certain personality traits. These traits include: The desire to be liked or to please; these people are more likely to take extraordinary measures to gain favorLow self-esteemDependency; people who tend to be dependent upon others will be more easily swayed by threats to withdraw love or supportNaiveté or ignoranceLonelinessImpulsivity, greed, and materialismLow assertivenessFear of anger, sadness, and other negative emotions-either in oneself or from the manipulatorMany of us are highly aware when we're being manipulated, but are still left unsure of what to do. Because manipulators often play the victim, some victims of manipulation might excuse their behavior or insist that the manipulator doesn't really know what he or she is doing. Manipulators thrive on hiding their motives, so it can be challenging to get them to admit their true intentions, and many people will refuse to do so even under pressure. That's why you need this book, so why wait when you can dive in ASAP.

Yusuf Idris was undoubtedly one of Egypt's most talented and versatile writers in the second half of the twentieth century. The first two novellas in this volume, Madam Vienna and The Secret of His Power, come from the peak period in his career, the late 1950s and early 1960s, while New York 80 belongs to his late period, the 1980s.

Cairo, January 1952. Egypt is at a critical point in its modern history, struggling to throw off the yoke of the seventy-year British occupation and its corrupt royalist allies. Hamza is a committed young radical, his goal to build a secret armed brigade to fight for freedom, independence, and national self-esteem. Fawziya is a woman with a mission too, keen to support the cause. Among the ashes of the city love may grow, but at a time of national struggle what place do personal feelings have beside the greater love for a shackled homeland? In this finely crafted novel, Yusuf Idris, best known as the master of the Arabic short story, brings to life not only some of the most human characters in modern Arabic fiction but the soul of Cairo itself and the soul of a national consciousness focused on liberation. ''Like the Russian aristocrats of Chekhov, the provincial bourgeoisie of Flaubert, or the Ibo villagers of Achebe, Idris raises his authentic characters into convincing types within their context: he makes us live their agonies and hopes.''-Ferial Ghazoul
