It was also the location of the first U. Fort Madison was one of three posts established by the U. Army to establish control over the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase territories. The other two posts were Fort Belle Fontaine near St. Louis, which controlled the mouth of the Missouri, and Fort Osage, near what is now Kansas City, which controlled trade with western Native American tribes. A disputed treaty with the Sauk and affiliated tribes led to the U.

To establish control, the U. Army set out to construct a post near the mouth of the Des Moines River, a major trading route into the interior of Iowa. Noy finding suitable land near the mouth of the Des Moines, the expedition also considered land near Quashquame's, Sauk and Meskwaki village at the head of the Des Moines Rapids, a choke point of trade and transportation on the Upper Mississippi below modern Montrose, Iowa. Again, this land was not considered suitable for a fort.

The Army settled on a location several miles upstream at what is now the City of Fort Madison. First called Fort Bellevue, this post was soon deemed inadequate. It was poorly situated at the base of a bluff next to a deep ravine, areas from which enemies could safely fire at the fort.

Trade led to resentment among Indians, especially the Sauk; the treaty was considered invalid by the Sauk, the fort threatened established trading networks, and American trade goods were considered inferior to French or British goods. Black Hawk lamented over the new fort, and disparaged its construction in his autobiography: "A number of people immediately went down to see what was going on, myself among them.

On our arrival, we found they were building a fort. The soldiers were busily engaged in cutting timber, and I observed that they took their arms with them when they went into the woods. The whole party acted as they would do in an enemy's country. The chiefs held a council with the officers, or headmen of the party, which I did not attend, but understood from them that the war chief had said that they were building homes for a trader who was coming there to live and would sell us goods very cheap, and the soldiers were to remain to keep him company.

The team was an affiliate of the St. According to the United States Census Bureau , the city has a total area of The lowest point in the state of Iowa is feet m located at the confluence of the Des Moines River with the Mississippi just southwest of Keokuk.

Keokuk has a humid continental climate. As of the census of , there are 10, people, 4, households, and 2, families residing in the city. The racial makeup of the city is There are 4, households out of which The average household size is 2. Population spread: The median age is 40 years.

He was a man of extraordinary eloquence in council and never at a loss in an emergency. He was a noble looking man about six feet tall, portly and weighing over pounds. He had an eagle eye, dignified bearing, and a manly, intelligent expression of countenance.

This bridge which is 3, feet long and 64 feet wide eliminates the tie up of traffic from the former swing span bridge, allowing both automobile and barge traffic to move more efficiently.

For years the citizens of Keokuk, Iowa had been dreaming of creating a river museum which would serve as a perpetual reminder of the tremendous amount of river lore that is associated with this community. The George M. Verity is permanently berthed in Victory Park, which is on the Mississippi River just a few yards below Lock To passers-by on the river and to tourists traveling on the road, this makes a very interesting and historical stop.

A 1, feet long, feet wide lock with new guide walls was completed in It greatly facilitates river traffic, enhances the riverfront immeasurably and provides one of the greatest improvements on the entire Mississippi River.

It replaced a foot lock built with the dam in Prior to the construction of the dam across the Mississippi River, the first and largest of its kind when erected, Keokuk was the shipping headquarters of the river. Just above the city were a series of rapids and channels, and further water traffic involved heavy lightening charges and transshipment. Keokuk has always been a natural shipping point due to its excellent location.

The city is located on bluffs approximately feet high and has an average altitude of feet above sea level, Memphis datum. It rises in the northwestern part of the state and flows diagonally across the state to Keokuk. Its course has always been a natural highway. When Lt. He accounts for it on the hypothesis that when the French voyageurs visited St. The history of the early inhabitants of this vicinity was never recorded.

However, this section of the country was probably originally overrun by the Algonquin tribes. One of these tribes was called the Illinois, or Illini, and they were probably the first tribe to inhabit this region.

In the latter part of the 17th Century, the Illini were a powerful nation, consisting of five subordinate tribes, namely: The Kaskaskias, Peorias, Tamaroas, Michiganis and Cahokias. Besides their country east of the Mississippi, they occupied a large district between that river and the Des Moines, in what is now the southeastern part of Iowa. The Ottawa chief, Pontiac, who led the uprising against the white settlements and post in , was assassinated by some of the Illini in , whereupon the Sacs and Foxes, allies of Pontiac, declared war against the Illini and in time almost exterminated the tribe.

The Iowa Indians Sleepy Ones , from whom the state takes its name, were one of the southern Siouan tribes included by Dorsey with Otoes and Missouris in his Chiwere group. According to their traditions, they once formed part of the Winnebago nation, with which they lived north of the Great Lakes. In a member of the tribe prepared a map showing the movements of the Iowas from the time they settled on the Rock River.

The legend accompanying the map says that the tribe separated from the Sacs and Foxes and wandered off westward in search of a new home. Crossing the Mississippi River, they turned southward and reach a high bluff near the mouth of the Iowa River. The territory thus appropriated by the Iowas included the present county of Lee, though the tribe afterward established its headquarters in what is now Mahaska County, which bears the name of a noted Iowa chief.

The Iowa Indians have long since disappeared, but the name remains to designate one of the great states of the Mississippi Valley. The Sacs and Foxes, the principal Indians in Iowa history, are always spoken of as one people, though originally they were two separate and distinct tribes of the great Algonquin family.

About , the Sacs and Foxes crossed the Mississippi near Prairie du Chien and established themselves in Iowa about where the city of Dubuque now stands. The Sacs and Foxes were ruled over by one chief. At one time Black Hawk was their recognized leader, and at one time he was one of the greatest of American Indian chiefs born of Sac parents, was the leader of both tribes. Black Hawk elected to join them with the English in the War of , and his leadership passed on to Keokuk after its close.

Keokuk the watchful fox was born in His mother was allegedly a French half-breed. He arose to his position of leadership through sheer merit and diplomacy. He was a cunning master of intrigue. He converted most of the tribe to his views in the Black Hawk War and remained peaceful.

In a debate in Washington, D. In , after Columbus had discovered the New World, the Pope granted to the King and Queen of Spain, all territory inhabited by infidels, thus in a vague way included the present state of Iowa along with the rest of the New World.

In , the English government granted to the Plymouth Company all the lands between the 40th and 48th parallels of north latitude from sea to sea. In , the Massachusetts Bay Company received an English charter, which included a strip about miles wide through the central part of Iowa.

Thus Iowa and Keokuk were originally claimed by both the English and the Spanish. In May, , Marquette, Joliet and five boatmen in two large canoes moved up Lake Michigan and to the headwaters of the Fox River and crossed by portage to the Wisconsin River, and on June 17 first saw the Mississippi River opposite the present town of McGregor, Iowa.

On June 25, they landed near the present town of Toolesboro, the first known whites to set foot there. They entered the Indian village and smoked the pipe of peace near the present Iowa River. They passed on down the Mississippi to the mouth of the Arkansas River before returning to Canada. On April 6, , LaSalle completed his exploration of the Mississippi River and claimed all the territory drained by the great river and its tributaries for France, and gave it the name Louisiana in honor of the French king.

English traders and trappers overran the territory of Louisiana, and ultimately the French and Indian War began in As a result of the war, Great Britain obtained everything east of the Mississippi River according to the treaty of Paris, Feb. France obtained everything west of the Mississippi River. After the Revolutionary War, the west boundary of the U. The right to the use of the Mississippi River for trade and commerce was a controversial subject, and as soon as Spain ceded Louisiana back to France in , the U.

President Jefferson sent Robert R. Livingston and James Monroe to negotiate a treaty, which resulted in the purchase of the Louisiana Territory. Shortly after the Louisiana Purchase, on March 26, , President Jefferson authorized the division of the vast area into the Territory of Orleans, which included all that part north of the 33rd parallel.

The District of Louisiana, the north part, contained the present State of Iowa the Northwest Territory had been organized in In , the name of the District of Louisiana was changed to the Territory of Missouri. When the State of Missouri was admitted into the Union in March, , the north par of the area, including Iowa, was left without any form of civil government.

By the treaty of Aug. Statutes at large, page the tract of land lying south of the southern boundary of Iowa extending across the Des Moines River due east to the Mississippi was reserved for the half-breeds of the various Indian tribes.

There has been considerable intermarriage of whites with the Indian women and the offspring were the beneficiaries of the , acres. In a later treaty the Indian tribes, not including the half-breeds, ceded all their remaining interests to the Federal Government.

Under the original grant the half-breeds had the right to occupy the land as the Indians occupied their reservations. They had no right to sell or convey it, the U. Other signatures subsequently were obtained, and in response to the petition, Congress passed an act, approved by President Jackson, on Jan.

Lee County quickly became one of the most active real estate markets in the country, and the foundation was laid for a vast amount of litigation. Indians would often claim ownership of land by virtue of being half-breeds and had no difficulty in proving their mixed blood by the Indians, and would then cheat the speculators by selling land to which they had no rightful title. On the other hand, speculators often claimed land to which they had no right.

It was diamond cut diamond, until at last things became badly mixed. There were no authorized surveys, no boundary lines to claims, and as a result, numerous quarrels ensued. The act of Jan.

The division line was due westward from the foot of Rock Island. These counties were rapidly organized, and on Oct. George W. Through his efforts and influence, the Territory of Michigan was divided and the region west of the Mississippi became a part of the Territory of Wisconsin, with Gov.

Henry Dodge as Governor. Dodge immediately ordered a census, and the area was found to have a population of 10, When the Indians returned and were asked about New York, they only expressed their disgust.

Boston was the only place in the United States, in their estimation, and their opinion has been shared in by many white people, who since that time have made a pilgrimage from the West to the famous shrines of the East.

While residing at Ottumwah-nac, Keokuk received a message from the Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith, in which the latter invited Keokuk, as king of the Sacs and Foxes, to a royal conference at his palace at Nauvoo, on matters of the highest importance to their respective people.

The invitation was accepted, and at the appointed time the king of the Sacs and Foxes, accompanied by a stately escort on ponies, wended their way to the appointed interview with the great apostle of the Latter Day Saints. Keokuk, as before remarked, was a man of good judgment and keen insight into the human character. He was not easily misled by sophistry nor beguiled by flattery. The account of this interview with Smith, as given by the author of the "Annals", so well illustrates these traits of his character that we give it in full:.

The audience was given publicly in the great Mormon temple, and the respective chiefs were attended by their suits, the prophet by the dignitaries of the Mormon church, and the Indian potentate by the high civil and military functionaries of his tribe, and the Gentiles were comfortably seated as auditors.

After the prophet closed his harangue, Keokuk waited for the words of his pale-faced brother to sink deep into his mind, and in making his reply, assumed the gravest attitude and most dignified demeanor. He would not controvert anything his brother had said.

But he wished to inquire about some particulars his brother had not named, that were of the highest importance to him and his people.

The red man were not much used to milk, and he thought they would prefer streams of water and in the country they now were there was a good supply of honey. The points they wished to inquire into were, whether the new government would pay large annuities, and whether there was plenty of whisky. Joe Smith saw at once that he had met his match, and that Keokuk was not the proper material with which to increase his army of dupes, and closed the interview in as amiable and pleasant manner as possible.

Until Keokuk resided with his tribe on a reservation of square miles, situated on the Iowa river. His headquarters were at a village bearing his name, located on the right bank of the stream. In this year, in accordance with the stipulations of a treaty held at Davenport, Keokuk with his followers removed to this territory, now comprised in the bounds of Keokuk, Mahaska and Wapello counties. The agency for the Indians, was located at a point where is now located Agency City. At this time an effort was made to civilize the red man.

Farms were opened up, and two mills were erected, one on Soap creek, and one on Sugar creek. A salaried agent was employed to superintend these farming operations.

Keokuk, Wapello and Appanoose, each had a large field improved and cultivated. Keokuk's farm was located upon what is yet known as Keokuk's Prairie, in what is now Wapello county. The Indians did not make much progress in these farming operations, and in the absence of their natural and wanted excitements, became idle and careless.

Many of them plunged into dissipation. Keokuk himself became badly dissipated in the latter years of his life. Pathetic as was the condition of these savages at this time, it was but the legitimate result of the treatment which they had received.

They were confined to a fixed location, and provided with annuities by the government, sufficient to meet their wants from year to year. They were in this manner prevented from making those extensive excursions, and embarking in those war-like pursuits, which for time immemorial had formed the chief avenues for the employment of those activities, which for centuries had claimed the attention of the savage mind; and the sure and regular means of subsistence furnished by the government, took away from them the incentives for the employment of these activities, even had the means still existed.

In addition to this the Indian beheld his lands taken from him, and his tribe growing smaller year by year. Possessed of an ideal and imaginative intellect he could not help fore-casting the future, and thus being impressed with the, thought, that in a few years, all these land would be in the possession of the white man, while his tribe and his name would be swept into oblivion by the tide of emigration, which pressed in upon him from every side.

Keokuk saw all this, and seeing it, had neither the power nor inclination to prevent it. Take the best representative of the Anglo-Saxon race, and place him in similar circumstances, and he would do no better. Shut in by restraint from all sides, relieved from all the anxieties comprehended in that practical question, what shall we eat and wherewithal shall we be clothed and deprived of all those incentives springing from, and inspired by a lofty ambition, and the best of us, with all our culture and habits of industry, would fall into idleness and dissipation and our fall would be as great if not as low as was the fall of that unhappy people who formerly inhabited this country, and whose disappearance and gradual extinction we shall now be called upon to contemplate.

Wapello, the cotemporary of Keokuk and the inferior chief, after whom a neighboring county and county-seat were named, died before the Indians were removed the State, and thus escaped the hnmilatiol1 of the scene. He like his superior chief, was a fast friend of the whites and wielded an immense influence among the individuals of his tribe.

As is mentioned in a former chapter, he presided over three tribes in the vicinity of Fort Armstrong, during the time that frontier post was being erected.

In he removed his village to Muscatine Swamp, and then to a place near where is now located the town bearing his name.

They are always updating and adding new features.

Current problem I have been having in multiple leagues which has caused me to have to contact multiple managers along with the commissioners to fix is the trading. If trades are accepted while a manager has enough roster spots to take a 2 for 1 trade it will allow the trade to go through.

Because of this, on game days I am having to scramble with managers and commissioners to go back thru and have them push the trades through.

Again, this is one of the best fantasy apps minus this loop hole for buyers remorse. At long last, Yahoo opened fantasy baseball last month well behind schedule and other platforms , but our league has no way to view our rosters from the previous year on the app. We have setup the keeper league management and everything, but for some reason you can only see your players on the desktop version via web browser.

Therefore, the app is basically useless for me when it comes to checking updates on my players until the season starts.

Article by Madhuri Thakur. What is the Warranty Expense? There are 3 essential aspects which should be known while recording the warranty expense journal entry: The number of units of product sold during the time period we require to record? The percentage of products sold which are expected to be repaired or replaced? It is based on prior experience and shall be an estimate. The average cost of replacements or repair under warranty? Example Let us consider the below example for a better understanding.

Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published. These expenses hold more relevance in the case of manufacturing units where warranty expenses are more common and impact the business bottom line. Warranty expenses are always estimates and it is highly probable that actual expenses to satisfy warranty claims may not be the same requiring certain adjustments by the business.

This is a guide to Warranty Expense. Here we also discuss the definition and how to calculate warranty expense? You may also have a look at the following articles to learn more —. Submit Next Question. By signing up, you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Forgot Password? All projectors sold come with a two year warranty, in which Star Digital Systems will replace or repair the projector should it stop working as intended.

Keep in mind that this liability treatment is only necessary for companies that have to consistently repair or replace their products. By doing so, the financial statements most accurately represent all costs associated with product sales, and therefore indicate the true profitability associated with those sales. If the period covered by the warranty is changed by management, this will alter the warranty expense not only for those sales in the current period, but also for sales in prior periods whose warranties have now been extended into the current period.

If the cost of warranty claims were to instead be recognized only when the company processes actual claims from customers, the costs may not be recognized until several months after the associated sales. The financial reporting under this approach would yield inordinately high initial profits, followed by depressed profits in later months, for as long as the warranty period lasts.

If there is no information from which to derive a warranty estimate for use in an accrual, consider using industry information about warranty claims. This is especially useful when other products in the industry are similar to those sold by the company. If the amount of warranty expense recorded is significant, expect the company's auditors to investigate it.

When training for combat, witch-pilots of the Air Watch use "cold fire" - simulated fireballs which have none of the destructive fiery qualities, effectively blank rounds - to "tag" each other as simulated kills when rehearsing air-combat and engaging in mock dogfights.

In the training exercise at the beginning of The Living Daylights , the guards shot the infiltrating spies with paintballs at least that was the intention despite their lack of face protection. Partially justified because the guards were SAS troopers, so if they don't want to shoot you in the face you won't get shot in the face. During the gun battle exercise in the film version of Get Smart , the agents involved used military simunition instead of real bullets.

While they wore protective body armor and goggles, none of them wore facemasks or helmets. Man of the Year has Robin Williams taking his staff paintballing for a team building exercise. The Film of the Series S.

He is soon killed by a saber-tooth tiger. Spaced used goggles instead of full face masks, and a total absence of marshals. This allows some acknowledged dangerous shots to occur, mostly Tim firing at Dwayne's crotch.

Several times admittedly causing a severe injury Tim: No hard feelings eh? Newspaper Comics. In one Dilbert strip, the Pointy-Haired Boss signed the team up for a paintball course as a "team building exercise", but instead of them going out to a paintballing field, he interpreted it as hunting them in the office with a paintball gun, without them being aware of it. Obviously, they didn't have on any protective gear, and in the confines of office spaces it would've been difficult to avoid "point blank" shots, both of which are major no-nos.

Video Games. In the webcomic Life of Riley the BOBs are able to gain an early lead over the forces of darkness in their "Paintbrawl" specifically because the bad guys don't understand the rules. PvP did a paintball arc in early that was very careful about getting the details right, with proper masks and realistic paintball guns and terminology and rules.

The one exception was Francis using a HALO helmet instead of a regular paintball mask, though in this case the marshals at least discussed it.

Up to the point where Brent got a dislocated nipple maybe Scott Kurtz was afraid the strips weren't zany enough. Then the cast snuck onto the course at night with no marshal and did all the things they weren't supposed to do, but at least then it was justified and they even pointed it out later. That sequence features a cameo from "Doc", who runs a paintball shop in Alaska and draws The Whiteboard , a paintball-themed Web Comic , as well as a human version of the owner of the paintball field from that comic, "Red".

This may have contributed to the accuracy. Also, Kurtz's commentary during the arc indicates he'd planned to go through the arc with the usual trappings including the blind cast member Reggie participating until readers more familiar with the sport called him out on it.

As mentioned above, The Whiteboard totally averts this, as the author makes markers for the game. Not to mention Doc can get a little annoyed by people disregarding the rules. Mandatory equipment for his referees include duct tape and mallets, and tazers for refs of smaller stature. An arc ending shortly before Christmas featured a field that tends to bend or even disregard all the rules, including mask regulations, chronographing note checking paintball speed, with feet per second being a common upper limit , and wiping off paint spots from hits.

King of the Hill had a particularly egregious episode where a teenage bully torments Bobby on the paintball field and Hank and his buddies end up sucked into a paintball match with him. To them, were a bunch of guys in camo running around the woods playing Rambo. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

I could just see it now In reality, ours is one of the safest sports on the planet and doesn't promote violence. It is very exciting and fast paced though, so that could be a problem for commercial breaks! We can only hope one day we'll reach mainstream TV time and people will see our great sport for what it is. Hey, if nothing else, we could always take the time slots afforded soccer! It is on TV , fox sports channel has a weekly show on paintball and tourneys.

Its called splatterfactor. It is booring to watch. Slap the heck out of me if you like, but it is true. Every time I go into a paintball store they are playing some Sup'Air video. The whole time I'm in the store the camera is fixed on the same back player pouring two cases of paint into the same bunker. Paintballs move two quickly for television heck we can hardly fallow golf balls.

There is no way for a camera to follow a front player around without getting in the way. The arenas need to be built for television. They need to have cameras mounted on bunkers throughout, and at least two cranes to follow the action up front.

It also needs good editing for instant replays and slow motion tags. It also needs more legitimate regional teams. At present it is a mercenary sport like motocross. All the marketing potential of pro sports comes from having regional teams with a regional fan base. Then people can start buying Jerseys and players can get Marker contracts. Until some of that stuff happens, it will just be these guys you don't know vs. And if the camera work remains the same, the few in players that do watch will just stare and wonder what the heck is going on.

Originally posted by TransMan dre is exactly right the media is too liberal and think thats any sport that involves guns is horrible it doesnt matter what the rating would be because whatever there were it would be higher than bowling which i saw on ESPN this weekend so thats not a factor its all about the media and politics unless you could find a completly independent station that is willing to broadcast paintball you wont find a whole lot of it on TV anytime soon and FOX is one of the less liberal stations ABC controled Disney is ultra liberal if anyone hasnt noticed yet feel free to flame on any of my ideas :D Thanks man.

Yes, the media sucks. Yeah, Patron, most of that is very true. The action sequences in "Push" were very well done, but then again, that's a movie production where they have time to edit and alter.

TV, even taped, would present a much bigger challenge. I don't think it's impossible or anything, but some skill would have to be involved. I agree, speedball can be boring as hell Never say paintball is boring! And it wasn't just once, it was on like five freakin times.

Now that is boring! Each player wears a lipstick cam on their mask somewhere so people could see what the player sees. Then the boom cams can get up top and from bird's eye views of people in different bunkers. The refs could wear lipstick cams to get angles from the middle of the field and not be targeted. Then have some stationary cams setup from different angles on bunkers. They'd have to be enclosed in case being hit.. A big reason paintball is not tv friendly is spectators don't know what to watch.

There is no central ball like hockey, basketball, football where the crowd can follow. Hopefully x-ball will change this. There is no reason Paintball can't show very well on TV. BUT - it would take someone willing to invest the money is properly taping, editing, and presenting the material.

There needs to be background on the players, file footage of the major stars, slowmo replay of important moves, and during the game commentary by people who know the game,a dn know sports media. Very hard to get all of that together. Even harder when media execs are liberal and don't want to admit paintball might make a good show.

I think you'd find that most sports TV nuts would be willing to spend an hour on a Sunday afternoon to watch some really well-done play.

Whether they enjoy the sport or not. Think about figure skating. Me, I would MUCH rather watch pro skaters do a program designed to entertain than a bunch of compulsory crap designed for the judges. But there are commentators who describe the moves, talk about the various skaters strengths and weaknesses - and comment on the performance that makes it understandable by almost anyone. We need THAT for paintball! Something to chew on. Still some ideas. I have been in the business for almost 20 years, and have worked for ESPN, Fox and a lot of local sports networks.

If the network can make money off of it, which means up front and by selling advertising, they will show it. If I want to put a show on ESPN I have to pay them for the air time and convince them that they can sell the available air time I leave them in the show. I get to add 4 to 6 minutes of commercials and they get the rest of the time. It they can't sell it, they won't buy it. And the production has to be up to their standards. No offense, but TraumaHead wouldn't cut it.

Neither would my productions right now. We are both small time. I hope to eventually get a show on TV. Maybe a single tournament, but it would have to be a big one. It takes money though. And that doesn't include editing.

Another big problem is the way tournaments are held.

The first 48 hours are likely to be the worst. If you experience this, remember that your sleep patterns will almost certainly start to return to normal once your brain recovers its normal functions.

Withdrawal symptoms are caused by the way your brain reacts when you drink heavily. This is the way in which our brains respond to danger, preparing us to either fight or run away. When you drink alcohol, the fight or flight response in your brain is suppressed, making you feel relaxed.

And when you stop drinking, the alcohol gradually leaves your brain as your body processes it. Withdrawal symptoms — both the psychological ones e.

Alcohol withdrawal symptoms are most likely to be experienced by people drinking 8 or more units of alcohol , 5 or more nights a week. If you continue to drink excessively, regularly, despite experiencing withdrawal symptoms, you may find your symptoms get more and more severe.

This is why when consuming alcohol, people experience initial feelings of happiness, increased sociability, and relaxation. In a heavy, long-term drinker, the brain is almost continually exposed to the depressant effects of alcohol. This causes the person to develop a dependence on the substance. Once the body becomes dependent on alcohol, it requires more and more of the substance to produce the same effects. Alcohol withdrawal side effects vary from person to person.

Many people are hesitant to quit drinking because of the thought of experiencing uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms is scary. By reducing withdrawal symptoms, you will be able to focus on recovery and getting better. Learn more about treating alcoholism and support options by reaching out to a treatment provider today. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can occur as early as two hours after your last drink.

Typically, symptoms will peak within the first 24 to 48 hours upon cessation. This is when you may experience the most uncomfortable of withdrawal symptoms, such as insomnia, rapid heartbeat, changes in blood pressure, sweating, tremors, and fever. While some people experience very few withdrawal symptoms, others may suffer from more serious side effects. For example, delirium tremens is one of the most severe of alcohol withdrawal symptoms.

It can surface within the first 48 hours after your last drink and involves confusion, severe shaking, hallucinations, and high blood pressure. Although delirium tremens is uncommon, it can be life-threatening. Symptoms of alcohol withdrawal typically improve within five days, though a small number of people may have prolonged symptoms. The severity and duration of alcohol withdrawal symptoms are impacted by several factors, including frequency of drinking, amount consumed during drinking, length of time drinking, medical history, and co-occurring health conditions.

Take your life back by getting started in a treatment program today. Over the course of the first few days and weeks after someone stops drinking alcohol, he or she may experience acute alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Acute alcohol withdrawal syndrome refers to the common withdrawal symptoms a heavy drinker experiences when they suddenly reduce the amount of alcohol they drink after prolonged periods of heavy use.

Because of the life-threatening health complications that can arise during acute alcohol withdrawal, it is recommended that you never attempt to quit on your own and that you instead stay at a hospital or a specialized rehab facility for treatment.

Medical professional can assess your mental and physical health frequently throughout the day to make sure symptoms do not escalate. After the initial alcohol withdrawal symptoms have subsided, some people may experience prolonged side effects. This phase is less common and is known as post-acute withdrawal syndrome PAWS.

PAWS involves withdrawal symptoms that occur after acute withdrawal and can make post-rehab life challenging for some individuals. Depending on the severity of your alcohol abuse , PAWS can last anywhere from a few weeks to a year. In general, PAWS symptoms peak around four to eight weeks after quitting. PAWS is one of the leading causes of relapse for individuals that have completed alcohol addiction treatment. DTs can also occur when a person who has a history of heavy alcohol use experiences a head injury, illness or infection.

Symptoms of delirium tremens usually begin two to four days after a person has stopped drinking, but there have been cases that the onset started a week or more after the last drink. Seizures may also occur with delirium tremens and can occur without other symptoms.

Individuals who have past issues with alcohol withdrawal are more likely to experience seizures. Usually, a generalized tonic-clonic seizure is typical with DTs. DTs is considered a medical emergency. A person requires medical attention if they are experiencing symptoms of delirium tremens or severe alcohol withdrawal. He was attempting to detox from alcohol at home, which resulted in a blood infection, kidney and liver problems, and finally, his heart stopped. Having access to a medically supervised detox program can help alleviate symptoms of alcohol withdrawal and may even save a life.

We can help you overcome addiction and get your life back. An individual who attempts to detox at home is at risk for a number of problems related to alcohol withdrawal. Every person is different and there is no way to tell how a person will experience withdrawal before it happens.

Detox programs typically use a number of prescription medications to decrease the severity and lessen the damage that alcohol withdrawal causes. When a person experiences severe withdrawal without medical assistance they run the risk of seizures, hallucinations and heart failure. The most serious symptoms of DT are seizures, hallucinations, and confusion. However, many other symptoms, including sensitivity to light, confusion, and nausea, may also be present.

More serious symptoms of AWS and DT can lead to physical trauma due to seizures, as well as metabolic issues. Low electrolyte levels can lead to cardiac complications during withdrawal, including arrhythmias and sudden death resulting from heart attack. Hypophosphatemia low levels of phosphate can lead to muscle weakness, coma, and the stoppage of normal breathing functions. Metabolic abnormalities can typically be corrected through an adequate intake of vitamins, fluids, and sugar.

Regular over-the-counter medications can help with more benign elements of AWS, such as headache and nausea. A condition known as alcoholic ketoacidosis , is similar to that experienced by some individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Alcoholic ketoacidosis is a potentially fatal condition, but it can be treated with proper medical attention.

As far as drugs are concerned, only benzodiazepines, such as diazepam Valium and lorazepam Ativan , have been proven to reduce the risk of the fatal complications cause by seizures and DT.

For those interested in stopping drinking, it is important to seek medical attention even if it is just a checkup , especially for people who drink heavily, when there has been long-term alcohol abuse, and for those who have previously experienced DT or seizures caused by alcohol abuse.

For severe alcohol addiction, medical intervention may be needed to oversee the potentially dangerous effects of AWS and DT. Can you die from alcohol withdrawal? Yes — that's why it's important to get help before you stop drinking.

As a result, we do not find the time or do not have the desire to make love as much as we might like to. Yet, the first thing to know when you are trying to have a baby is that regular sex with your partner is the best preparation of all. Regular lovemaking prepares the woman's body for childbearing, and raises the hormonal level associated with it.

Low fertility itself is directly associated with lowered feelings of sexuality. Your lifestyle and relationships all enhance the chances of conception. Regular lovemaking also creates more favorable conditions in the vagina. The presence of fertile-quality or egg-white cervical mucus fosters fertility by creating more favorable vaginal conditions that assist in protecting the sperm and extending the sperm life span, effectively extending the fertile window.

With a pattern of regular lovemaking achieved, the next thing to do is identify that handful of days directly prior to, and including the day of ovulation. Identifying this "window" will significantly boost your chances of conception. The above conception calculator can help with the process of tracking your personal biological cycle, and thereby assist you in determining your fertility window.
