For centuries, historians and archaeologists have puzzled over the many mysteries of Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument that took an estimated 1,500 years to erect. Located on Salisbury Plain in southern England, it is comprised of roughly 100 massive upright stones placed in a circular layout.
Archaeologists believe England’s most iconic prehistoric ruin was built in several stages with the earliest constructed 5,000 or more years ago. First, Neolithic* Britons used primitive tools, which may have been fashioned out of deer antlers, to dig a massive circular ditch and bank, or henge. Deep pits dating back to that era and located within the circle may have once held a ring of timber posts, according to some scholars.
Several hundred years later, it is thought, Stonehenge’s builders hoisted an estimated 80 bluestones, 43 of which remain today, into standing positions and placed them in either a horseshoe or circular formation. These stones have been traced all the way to the Preseli Hills in Wales, some 300 kilometres from Stonehenge. How, then, did prehistoric builders without sophisticated tools or engineering haul these boulders, which weigh up to four tons, over such a great distance?
According to one long-standing theory among archaeologists, Stonehenge’s builders fashioned sledges and rollers out of tree trunks to lug the bluestones from the Preseli Hills. They then transferred the boulders onto rafts and floated them first along the Welsh coast and then up the River Avon toward Salisbury Plain; alternatively, they may have towed each stone with a fleet of vessels. More recent archaeological hypotheses have them transporting the bluestones with supersized wicker baskets on a combination of ball bearings and long grooved planks, hauled by oxen.
As early as the 1970s, geologists have been adding their voices to the debate over how Stonehenge came into being. Challenging the classic image of industrious builders pushing, carting, rolling or hauling giant stones from faraway Wales, some scientists have suggested that it was glaciers, not humans, that carried the bluestones to Salisbury Plain. Most archaeologists have remained sceptical about this theory, however, wondering how the forces of nature could possibly have delivered the exact number of stones needed to complete the circle.
The third phase of construction took place around 2000 BCE. At this point, sandstone slabs – known as ‘sarsens’ – were arranged into an outer crescent or ring; some were assembled into the iconic three-pieced structures called trilithons that stand tall in the centre of Stonehenge. Some 50 of these stones are now visible on the site, which may once have contained many more. Radiocarbon dating has revealed that work continued at Stonehenge until roughly 1600 BCE, with the bluestones in particular being repositioned multiple times.
But who were the builders of Stonehenge? In the 17th century, archaeologist John Aubrey made the claim that Stonehenge was the work of druids, who had important religious, judicial and political roles in Celtic** society. This theory was widely popularized by the antiquarian William Stukeley, who had unearthed primitive graves at the site. Even today, people who identify as modern druids continue to gather at Stonehenge for the summer solstice. However, in the mid-20th century, radiocarbon dating demonstrated that Stonehenge stood more than 1,000 years before the Celts inhabited the region.
Many modern historians and archaeologists now agree that several distinct tribes of people contributed to Stonehenge, each undertaking a different phase of its construction. Bones, tools and other artefacts found on the site seem to support this hypothesis. The first stage was achieved by Neolithic agrarians who were likely to have been indigenous to the British Isles. Later, it is believed, groups with advanced tools and a more communal way of life left their mark on the site. Some believe that they were immigrants from the European continent, while others maintain that they were probably native Britons, descended from the original builders.
If the facts surrounding the architects and construction of Stonehenge remain shadowy at best, the purpose of the striking monument is even more of a mystery. While there is consensus among the majority of modern scholars that Stonehenge once served the function of burial ground, they have yet to determine what other purposes it had.
In the 1960s, the astronomer Gerald Hawkins suggested that the cluster of megalithic stones operated as a form of calendar, with different points corresponding to astrological phenomena such as solstices, equinoxes and eclipses occurring at different times of the year. While his theory has received a considerable amount of attention over the decades, critics maintain that Stonehenge’s builders probably lacked the knowledge necessary to predict such events or that England’s dense cloud cover would have obscured their view of the skies.
More recently, signs of illness and injury in the human remains unearthed at Stonehenge led a group of British archaeologists to speculate that it was considered a place of healing, perhaps because bluestones were thought to have curative powers.

Powerful artificial intelligence (AI) needs to be reliably aligned with human values, but
does this mean AI will eventually have to
police those values?
This has been the decade of AI, with one astonishing feat after another. A chess-playing AI that can defeat not only all human chess players, but also all previous human-programmed chess machines, after learning the game in just four hours? That’s yesterday’s news, what’s next? True, these prodigious accomplishments are all in so-called narrow AI, where machines perform highly specialised tasks. But many experts believe this restriction is very temporary. By mid-century, we may have artificial general intelligence (AGI) – machines that can achieve human-level performance on the full range of tasks that we ourselves can tackle.
If so, there’s little reason to think it will stop there. Machines will be free of many of the physical constraints on human intelligence. Our brains run at slow biochemical processing speeds on the power of a light bulb, and their size is restricted by the dimensions of the human birth canal. It is remarkable what they accomplish, given these handicaps. But they may be as far from the physical limits of thought as our eyes are from the incredibly powerful Webb Space Telescope.
Once machines are better than us at designing even smarter machines, progress towards these limits could accelerate. What would this mean for us? Could we ensure a safe and worthwhile coexistence with such machines? On the plus side, AI is already useful and profitable for many things, and super AI might be expected to be super useful and super profitable. But the more powerful AI becomes, the more important it will be to specify its goals with great care. Folklore is full of tales of people who ask for the wrong thing, with disastrous consequences- King Midas, for example, might have wished that everything he touched turned to gold, but didn’t really intend this to apply to his breakfast.
So we need to create powerful AI machines that are ‘human-friendly’- that have goals reliably aligned with our own values. One thing that makes this task difficult is that we are far from reliably human-friendly ourselves. We do many terrible things to each other and to many other creatures with whom we share the planet. If superintendent machines don’t do a lot better than us, we’ll be in deep trouble. We’ll have powerful new intelligence amplifying the dark sides of our own fallible natures.
For safety’s sake, then, we want the machines to be ethically as well as cognitively superhuman. We want them to aim for the moral high ground, not for the troughs in which many of us spend some of our time. Luckily they’ll be smart enough for the job. If there are routes to the moral high ground, they’ll be better than us at finding them, and steering us in the right direction.
However, there are two big problems with this utopian vision. One is how we get the machines started on the journey, the other is what it would mean to reach this destination. The ‘getting started’ problem is that we need to tell the machines what they’re looking for with sufficient clarity that we can be confident they will find it – whatever ‘it’ actually turns out to be. This won’t be easy, given that we are tribal creatures and conflicted about the ideals ourselves. We often ignore the suffering of strangers, and even contribute to it, at least indirectly. How then, do we point machines in the direction of something better?
As for the ‘destination’ problem, we might, by putting ourselves in the hands of these moral guides and gatekeepers, be sacrificing our own autonomy – an important part of what makes us human. Machines who are better than us at sticking to the moral high ground may be expected to discourage some of the lapses we presently take for granted. We might lose our freedom to discriminate in favour of our own communities, for example.
Loss of freedom to behave badly isn’t always a bad thing, of course: denying ourselves the freedom to put children to work in factories, or to smoke in restaurants are signs of progress. But are we ready for ethical silicon police limiting our options? They might be so good at doing it that we won’t notice them; but few of us are likely to welcome such a future.
These issues might seem far-fetched, but they are to some extent already here. AI already has some input into how resources are used in our National Health Service (NHS) here in the UK, for example. If it was given a greater role, it might do so much more efficiently than humans can manage, and act in the interests of taxpayers and those who use the health system. However, we’d be depriving some humans (e.g. senior doctors) of the control they presently enjoy. Since we’d want to ensure that people are treated equally and that policies are fair, the goals of AI would need to be specified correctly.
We have a new powerful technology to deal with- itself, literally, a new way of thinking. For our own safety, we need to point these new thinkers in the right direction, and get them to act well for us. It is not yet clear whether this is possible, but if it is, it will require a cooperative spirit, and a willingness to set aside self-interest.
Both general intelligence and moral reasoning are often thought to be uniquely human capacities. But safety seems to require that we think of them as a package: if we are to give general intelligence to machines, we’ll need to give them moral authority, too. And where exactly would that leave human beings? All the more reason to think about the destination now, and to be careful about what we wish for.

Leonardo da Vinci’s ideal city was centuries ahead of its time
The word ‘genius’ is universally associated with the name of Leonardo da Vinci. A true Renaissance man, he embodied scientific spirit, artistic talent and humanist sensibilities. Five hundred years have passed since Leonardo died in his home at Chateau du Clos Luce, outside Tours, France. Yet far from fading into insignificance, his thinking has carried down the centuries and still surprises today.
The Renaissance marked the transition from the 15th century to modernity and took place after the spread of the plague in the 14th century, which caused a global crisis resulting in some 200 million deaths across Europe and Asia. Today, the world is on the cusp of a climate crisis, which is predicted to cause widespread displacement, extinctions and death, if left unaddressed. Then, as now, radical solutions were called for to revolutionise the way people lived and safeguard humanity against catastrophe.
Around 1486 – after a pestilence that killed half the population in Milan, Italy – Leonardo turned his thoughts to urban planning problems. Following a typical Renaissance trend, he began to work on an ‘ideal city’ project, which – due to its excessive costs – would remain unfulfilled. Yet given that unsustainable urban models are a key cause of global climate change today, it’s only natural to wonder how Leonardo might have changed the shape of modem cities.
Although the Renaissance is renowned as an era of incredible progress in art and architecture, it is rarely noted that the 15th century also marked the birth of urbanism as a true academic discipline. The rigour and method behind the conscious conception of a city had been largely missing in Western thought until the moment when prominent Renaissance men pushed forward large-scale urban projects in Italy, such as the reconfiguration of the town of Pienza and the expansion of the city of Ferrara. These works surely inspired Leonardo’s decision to rethink the design of medieval cities, with their winding and overcrowded streets and with houses piled against one another.
It is not easy to identify a coordinated vision of Leonardo’s ideal city because of his disordered way of working with notes and sketches. But from the largest collection of Leonardo’s papers ever assembled, a series of innovative thoughts can be reconstructed regarding the foundation of a new city along the Ticino River, which runs from Switzerland into Italy and is 248 kilometres long. He designed the city for the easy transport of goods and clean urban spaces, and he wanted a comfortable and spacious city, with well-ordered streets and architecture. He recommended ‘high, strong walls’, with ‘towers and battlements of all necessary and pleasant beauty’.
His plans for a modem and ‘rational’ city were consistent with Renaissance ideals. But, in keeping with his personality, Leonardo included several innovations in his urban design. Leonardo wanted the city to be built on several levels, linked with vertical outdoor staircases. This design can be seen in some of today’s high-rise buildings but was unconventional at the time. Indeed, this idea of taking full advantage of the interior spaces wasn’t implemented until the 1920s and 1930s, with the birth of the Modernist movement.
While in the upper layers of the city, people could walk undisturbed between elegant palaces and streets, the lower layer was the place for services, trade, transport and industry. But the true originality of Leonardo’s vision was its fusion of architecture and engineering. Leonardo designed extensive hydraulic plants to create artificial canals throughout the city. The canals, regulated by clocks and basins, were supposed to make it easier for boats to navigate inland. Leonardo also thought that the width of the streets ought to match the average height of the adjacent houses: a rule still followed in many contemporary cities across Italy, to allow access to sun and reduce the risk of damage from earthquakes.
Although some of these features existed in Roman cities, before Leonardo’s drawings there had never been a multi-level, compact modem city which was thoroughly technically conceived. Indeed, it wasn’t until the 19th century that some of his ideas were applied. For example, the subdivision of the city by function- with services and infrastructures located in the lower levels and wide and well-ventilated boulevards and walkways above for residents – is an idea that can be found in Georges-Eugene Haussmann’s renovation of Paris under Emperor Napoleon III between 1853 and 1870.
Today, Leonardo’s ideas are not simply valid, they actually suggest a way forward for urban planning. Many scholars think that the compact city, built upwards instead of outwards, integrated with nature (especially water systems), with efficient transport infrastructure, could help modem cities become more efficient and sustainable. This is yet another reason why Leonardo was aligned so closely with modem urban planning and centuries ahead of his time.

Since the pituitary gland regulates testosterone production, it’s intently
associated to a deficiency of pituitary hormones. Low testosterone is diagnosed through a mix of clinical signs and laboratory exams.
Analysis requires two separate morning testosterone measurements under 300 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL), together with symptoms corresponding to lowered
intercourse drive, lack of muscle mass, and fatigue.
The code E23.zero fits cases with pituitary dysfunction, while E23.1 applies to drug-induced cases [3].
Good documentation needs extra than just testosterone ranges - it should present why it occurs, such as
pituitary tumors or hypothalamic issues [13].
This contains following the appropriate dosing protocols, documenting the medical
necessity of the injections, and providing the necessary
documentation for Medicare to review. Many physicians
imagine that testosterone improves temper,
although data is inconsistent as a end result of few trials used validated
questionnaires. This questionnaire has been validated for assessing
vitality vs. fatigue in many alternative illnesses. Testosterone, compared with placebo, didn't substantially improve vitality, as decided by an increase of ≥ four points on the FACIT-Fatigue scale legal steroids for athletes (3srecruitment.com.au) the 474 males
enrolled in this trial (the primary outcome), although it was statistically
important for all 788 TTrials men. The effect of testosterone
on mood (determined utilizing the constructive and negative
affect scales), and depressive signs (determined using
the Patient Health Questionnaire) was statistically vital.

In summary, the administration of testicular hypofunction encompasses
a multifaceted strategy that includes hormone alternative remedy, way of life modifications, and focused treatments
for underlying circumstances. By understanding these remedy
choices, healthcare professionals and medical coders can better assist
sufferers in reaching optimum well being outcomes while making certain accurate
documentation and coding practices. As research continues to
evolve, staying knowledgeable in regards to the
newest treatment modalities will be essential for effective affected person care on this space.
Monitoring and Follow-upOnce a patient begins hormone replacement, it's critically important
to have common comply with up visits to monitor dosage and side effects, probably
the most significant of which relates to concerns about
prostate cancer. As famous earlier, although testosterone alternative does not cause prostate most cancers, it might possibly improve
the expansion fee of present cancer cells.
The administration of testosterone deficiency syndrome has been controversial for decades and contributes substantially
to the uncertainty among clinicians. Prominent amongst controversial issues
are concerns concerning the diagnostic accuracy of laboratory exams, and
cardiovascular and prostate well being. We have addressed these points within the guideline, primarily based on the
latest supporting proof; nevertheless, active analysis promises to settle part of the controversy in the subsequent few years.
With the elevated launch of latest data
and the elucidation of solutions to remaining scientific questions, it is anticipated that this guideline might be revised within the
subsequent three to five years. The principal treatment for hypogonadism is testosterone substitute therapy, which may be
delivered by injection, transdermally, or orally.
Some experts also consider that we need to reevaluate regular testosterone the degrees and decrease the
diagnostic cutoff for hypogonadism. By doing so, many
sufferers who we now think about to be "low- normal" would probably be
considered candidates for androgen substitute.
For patients with postpubertal hypogonadism, clinical presentation is determined by the diploma and duration of low blood T.
A frequent reason for abrupt decreases in T is androgen deprivation remedy for prostate most
cancers.
By using the ICD-10 code E29.9, healthcare providers can successfully
document and observe cases of testicular
dysfunction, ensuring applicable prognosis, treatment, and ongoing management.
Recognizing the signs and understanding the diagnostic course of
for testicular hypofunction is important for healthcare professionals and medical coders.
By identifying the clinical manifestations and employing appropriate diagnostic exams,
practitioners can differentiate between primary and secondary forms
of the condition, resulting in more practical therapy strategies.
This information aims to elucidate the specifics of this

practices. It is challenging to differentiate these signs
from people who result from growing older per se, and this was one of many the cause why the
idea of LOH was introduced. Testosterone Gel 1%The newest technique of transdermal androgen alternative is testosterone gel 1%, which is out there
in 2.5 and 5 g packets. Patients are instructed to use testosterone gel 1%, ideally each morning,
to scrub, dry, intact pores and skin on the shoulders, higher arms, and/or stomach.
The rise in serum testosterone produced by the gel can be closely monitored, permitting
you to precisely restore the patient’s testosterone into the conventional range.
Different CPT codes could apply to completely different elements of
testosterone alternative remedy, such as the administration of the injection itself or the monitoring
of hormone ranges. Serum testosterone ranges are topic to variation— diurnal,
seasonal, and age-related. Illness and certain medicines, similar
to opiates and glucocorticoids, can briefly affect testosterone concentrations through central and peripheral effects.eleven When low testosterone is suspected, serum TT is initially
measured, typically followed by measurement of FT. Additional laboratory exams may be required to characterize the etiology of hypogonadism as primary or secondary.
In certain clinical situations, genetic testing is also acceptable to identify
etiology. If you may be found to have low testosterone, your physician will consider various
factors similar to age and underlying situations earlier than developing an acceptable therapy plan for you.
Screening for hypogonadism within the general population is not indicated.[4] Case discovering in selected circumstances is, nevertheless, acceptable, corresponding to when testing for low testosterone

annoying situations in your life. In adults, healthy ranges are
essential for basic health, illness risk, physique composition, sexual operate,
and just about every thing else. These habits wreak havoc on your body’s hormone levels and result in imbalances, like low testosterone.
As a result, the advantages of train are muted, together with the manufacturing of testosterone.
Your physique cannot make both directly, so testosterone

Your healthcare supplier might suggest testosterone substitute therapy (TRT) when you have hypogonadism,
a condition the place the body doesn't produce enough sex hormones.
TRT includes taking artificial testosterone within the type
of a tablet, injection, topical gel, transdermal patch, or pores

So I’ve created a list of 13 straightforward, reliable, pure methods to increase testosterone and boost your sexual well being and total vitality.
Since testosterone (T) plays such an important
role in your sexual well being and general well-being, you wish to guarantee you’re doing every thing you'll have the ability to to naturally maximize your testosterone level.
Males produce about 10 occasions more testosterone per day
than women – while the every day manufacturing in males is
about 7 mg, it is only about 0.7 mg in girls. The reference ranges for testosterone rely upon the measuring technique used.
Lastly, nevertheless, the respective reference values specified by the laboratory are
decisive. The take a look at is carried out on the blood serum; blood
plasma, urine or saliva are additionally attainable.
That’s as a end result of it could improve sexual arousal and testosterone ranges.
Of course, it’s finest to consult with a healthcare professional before utilizing
natural therapies for treating disease or enhancing sexual
efficiency. Zinc is a vital nutrient for hormonal health, and
it plays an necessary role in hormone production by rising testosterone naturally.
Alcohol can't solely disrupt your REM sleep, it can reduce testosterone instantly.
best Oral steroid for mass humans, get half-hour of daylight exposure on your
skin every day. For sleep, it’s necessary to get gentle into your eyes — although don’t look immediately on the sun, after all.
Simply head out without sunglasses and expose some pores and skin while you’re at it.
RISE can information you thru 20+ sleep hygiene habits each day and tell you the right
time to do them to make them even more efficient.
If you’re concerned about your testosterone levels, taking
a testosterone degree take a look at might help discern whether or not your T might use a lift.
Fortuitously, taking herbal dietary supplements and
ensuring lifestyle changes may also assist improve testosterone naturally and optimize your sexual health.
Nevertheless, there is no instant approach to increase testosterone levels shortly or drastically unless you are taking exogenous testosterone or TRT.
There are many ways to boost testosterone levels, together
with TRT, increasing vitamin D intake, exercise,
and supplementation. Testosterone is a hormone largely
made by the testicles and performs a role in intercourse drive, power, mood, and look.
In one examine, researchers on the University of Chicago discovered that young males who slept lower than five hours a night for one week had lower testosterone levels than after they were fully rested.
It looks as if at present it’s a badge of honor to train daily until exhaustion. If that’s your philosophy
in the path of exercise, you could be sabotaging your testosterone ranges (as well as your 20 Mile
March).
Muira Puama has its place in a take a look at booster method because of the scientific analysis exhibiting the
effect it might possibly have on men’s sexual well being.
Some studies recommend it might possibly help blood move
and even block acetylcholinesterase, thereby
allowing more blood to enter the genitals. That makes this ingredient notably attention-grabbing for
males with erectile dysfunction, but it's certainly on no account supposed to deal with erectile dysfunction. It might assist, however there’s not sufficient evidence presently to help the speculation. D-Aspartic Acid has been clinically examined
and was proven to stimulate the release of luteinizing and development hormones within the brain, which then can immediately trigger increased
testosterone manufacturing.
Though this new information is considerably reassuring, men and their medical doctors should nonetheless weigh these points earlier than committing to long term

steroid options are a secure, effective starting point.

These three components combined can result in vital elevations in blood
stress. The above protocol consists of conservative dosages in an attempt to minimize unwanted effects in novice customers.
Regardless Of decrease doses being administered, we
typically observe newbies gaining large amounts of muscle hypertrophy.
We have seen first-time users of Dianabol gain as a lot
as 30 kilos in weight, mixed with power gains of fifty pounds
or greater on compound lifts. If you’re looking to enhance
muscle mass, a Dianabol and Take A Look At cycle could be the proper selection for you.

wall and can’t make additional progress no matter how exhausting your
workouts are getting. Quite than continuing the cycle with little to no gains, adding Dianabol
provides a considerable enhance. It can knock that plateau
wall down and rapidly make your gains lookup once
more.
Some split the doses—injecting testosterone twice weekly, swallowing

in the physique. Dianabol will deliver dramatic features in weight during this time, which
you'll then compound during the relaxation of your cycle.

slightly different. Both Testosterone Cypionate and Testosterone Enanthate are plain Testosterone.
One just isn't higher than the other, one doesn't hold less water than the opposite,
and neither is worse than the opposite. Dosages can range from 20 – 50mg
