paying for very amateurish theatre...
went a couple of days ago to my favourite theatre which is close to home…made a friend drive an hour, battling heavy traffic, to get there…4 of us then sat and watched an incredibly foul performance, by a group that would have been outdone by any amateur school playgroup! It was so bad we laughed all the way through….what should have been an intense, tragic play.
Karna was born to the mother of the Pandavas; as she was unmarried at the time and had invoked a prayer to the Sun out of curiosity, she floated the baby out in the river and he was brought up by a charioteer and his wife, and grew up believing that he was of lowly birth. Later, his mother married and had five princes as sons, who, as sons of Pandu, were called the Pandavas.
Karna went to learn archery from Parashu Rama, who taught him in the belief that he would help him eradicate his enemies, the Kshatriyas. Once, to enable his teacher to sleep, Karna put the teacher's head on his lap, and even though bitten by a snake, bore the pain stoically. When the teacher woke up to the drip of blood, he realized that only a Kshatriya (warrior race) could bear pain like that, and angered at what he thought was Karna's deception, cursed him that in the hour of his need, all his knowledge of arms and their use would desert him.
Karna learnt the secret of his birth only later, when Kunti visited him on the eve of the great Mahabharatha battle, when he realized that he was arrayed against his own brothers.
Alas for Karna on stage! When he was proving his valour as an archer, and bringing down from the tree all the leaves as against Arujna's hundred…the arrow on stage, instead of going gracefully offstage as it should have, went and hit Duryodhana fair and square…who had to pretend it wasn't there. Bhishma had a dhoti split wide open at the you-know-where and we couldn't even look in that direction….the irony was Dhritharashtra, the blind king, having a dhoti that was…see-through! Karna and Duryodhana yelled in English, Shakuni (who is Gandhar Naresh, or king of Khandahar in Afghanistan) shouted in some horrible half-literary, half-slang Tamizh, Shukracharya yowled in Hindi. and when Dhritarashtra suddenly started screaming in Kannada, we just couldn't stop our laughter…
We all determined to come out during the interval and never go back…and that was the best of all , the play which the brochure said would last 150 minutes, ended in 90…giving us blessed release!
Oh well, the last play we attended was excellent….Khatijabhai of Karmali Terrace, based on Emily of Emerald Hill…you win some, you lose some, I guess!

The bestselling author of The Anti-Cool Girl returns with a devastating, heartbreaking, brilliant, brave and laugh-out-loud funny memoir of truth, lies and everything that lies between...
'I had made it! All my dreams had come true. I had an operating fridge, I was doing brilliantly, and I had written the memoir to prove it. I even had online haters. I had conquered life at 30 and nothing was ever going to go wrong again!
Then I downed a litre of vodka followed by 45 pills. What a fraud.'
It was all going so well for Rosie Waterland. Until it wasn't.
Until, shockingly, something awful happened and Rosie went into agonising free fall.
Until late one evening she found herself in a hospital emergency bed, trembling and hooked to a drip. Over the course of that long, painful night, she kept thinking about how ironic it was, that right in the middle of writing a book about lies, she'd ended up telling the most significant lie of all.
A raw, beautiful, sad, shocking - and very, very funny - memoir of all the lies we tell others and the lies we tell ourselves.
Review by Ben Hunter
I demanded that people read The Anti-Cool Girl and I'll do the same for this one. I met Rosie when she began press for this book and made a fumbling attempt to tell her how amazing she is. She took a copy aside for me, signed it to my girlfriend, and drew something for her that would be highly inappropriate for me to describe here, as with much of the contents of this memoir. What I can say is that it's every bit as honest as The Anti-Cool Girl, while also being steeped in a whole new level of grief.
I can also tell you how fantastically funny this book is. Pleasantly surprised by the drawing she'd received from Rosie, my girlfriend sat up in bed to read it one night. First came a snicker, then a chortle, then a snort, and soon she was holding the book aside with that kind of relentless exhausting laughter that sounds like a child crying uncontrollably. She handed me the book and commanded me to read it aloud because she could no longer see the pages through her tears. I picked up where she left off. She had made it to page three.

Giving life to old fashioned dresses
There is no need to throw your old dresses anymore. There are different ways in which you can transform old dresses to become new and fashionable. For instance, old fashioned jeans can be transformed as destroy jean trousers using blades or scissors. Old T-Shirts can be transformed to crop tops with the use of blades and scissors. Old T-shirts can also be used as headscarf. With this, we can all say 'NO' to thrashing of old fashioned cloths.

Louis' big Day
Michael Paul (writer) Linda Scott Campbell (color) and myself recently partnered to create an original piece for the new anthology "One Comic To Rule Them All", put together by the Comic Book Hour collective. It was a super cool experience to work with these two on a new project!
One of things that makes this anthology special is that it requires artists to work in teams in order to submit. It is designed to encourages people to work together and create collaboratively, which was wonderful for me. Drawing *can* be a bit lonely sometimes, and it may sound pretty obvious but exchanging ideas, working on our story and basically putting our talents/heads/experiences together to create something new was so invigorating, so refreshing.
We didn't make the final line-up, but I feel like we're all proud of the result. I know I love it!
Page 1
We meet our main character, Louis. He's getting ready for his big night: he's got a date!
Page 2
Only problem, he has to take the train to the Outer Edges to go meet the lady... Will he make it on time?

The Lone Ranger certainly had a troubled production history, one involving (unnecessarily?) massive budgets, mystical werewolves, being canceled, and being rewritten, retooled, and relaunched. Of course, plenty of movies with troubled productions and/or werewolves have gone on to be huge successes. Jaws, for example, was a notorious train-wreck of a shoot, but the movie ended up being the epitome of box office success in 1975.
Still, many more troubled movies do not go on to be huge successes, and The Lone Ranger is just the most recent example (the movie could end up losing $150 million or more). But how? How did a film from the folks who brought you Pirates of the Caribbean - a franchise that has earned $3.72 billion worldwide - flop so terribly? Was it because the movie itself was bad? Not so, according to the cast and filmmakers.
Yahoo! Movies (UK & Ireland) recently interviewed director Gore Verbinski, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, and stars Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer about the very bad reviews the film has gotten in the U.S. (it's currently at 27% on Rotten Tomatoes), and they all but laid the film's box office blame at the feet of the critics.
According to Armie Hammer:
"This is the deal with American critics. They've been gunning for our movie since it was shut down the first time. And I think that's probably when most of the critics wrote their initial reviews. [...] They tried to do the same thing with to 'World War Z,' it didn't work, the movie was successful. Instead they decided to slit the jugular of our movie."
It seems strange to bring up World War Z as another example of critics trying to destroy a film based on their preconceived notions of it, especially since that film received fairly solid reviews (almost 40% higher than The Lone Ranger on RT) and has grossed nearly half a billion dollars at the box office. A better example would be, say, John Carter, which - despite its critical reputation - is actually considered by many to be underrated.
Johnny Depp felt that American critics prejudged the film, as well:
"I think the reviews were written when they heard Gore [Verbinksi] and Jerry [Bruckheimer] and me were going to do 'The Lone Ranger.' Then their expectations of it that, you know, it must be a blockbuster. I didn't have any expectations of that. I never do. Why would I?"
The answer: Probably because it cost blockbuster dollars to produce and market - $375 million dollars by some estimates. If it wasn't supposed to make blockbuster dollars, maybe it shouldn't have cost blockbuster dollars? Just a thought.
Jerry Bruckheimer said that The Lone Ranger is the sort of film that will have a critical revival in a few years:
"I think that they were reviewing the budget and not reviewing the movie. The audience doesn't care what the budget is. They pay the same amount to see the movie whether it cost a dollar or $20 million. [...] It's one of those movies that, whatever critics missed it this time, will re-review it in a few years and see that they made a mistake. [...] The critics keep crying for original movies. You make one, and they don't like [it], so what can I tell you?"
Bruckheimer's comment that the film is "original" seems a bit strange - when people say they want original content in their films, they don't typically mean they want a reboot of a property from a 1933 radio show that has previously been adapted into TV, movies, comic books, and just about every other storytelling medium multiple times.
Regardless, director Verbinski sort of echoed Bruckheimer's statement:
"Our movie is not a sequel, and it doesn't have giant robots and the Lone Ranger can't fly. I think we're counter-programming. So, if you want to see something different, come see the movie. It's odd to be given a lashing because of that."
But did the film really get a lashing because it was "different"? Or did critics just genuinely not enjoy the movie? After all, a number of people thought the film was a bit of a rip-off of the great Mask of Zorro movie from the 1990s starring Antonio Banderas - which, like Ranger, was written by Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio.
Obviously, it's not a shock to see the people who worked on a film defend it from its critics. It has to be pretty disappointing to put so much effort into making a movie, only to see it flop at the box office amid a myriad of scathing critiques.
What do you think, Screen Ranters? Was the critical drubbing that The Lone Ranger received undeserved? Drop us a line in the comments.
The Lone Ranger is in theaters now.

Today, I want to talk about signs.
I don't mean the type of sign that you pray will magically appear when you are struggling with a huge decision. ("Should I marry him?" "Should I take this job?" "Should I order the chicken, or the salmon?!")
No – today, I want to talk about tangible, hold-'em-high-in-the-sky, written signs.
Since leaving China nearly three months ago, I've made sure to keep myself busy with endeavors that will develop, occasionally distract, enthuse, and strengthen me. I made a plan to radically transform my resume and job search strategy, I bought a ukulele to keep my creative juices flowing, and I signed up for the Milwaukee marathon, to name a few.
Marathon training has been going well so far. Physically, I am feeling stronger every day; my runs are getting easier and I seem to be moving faster each time, which is a promising sign.
Reflecting on these figurative signs during a recent run, my word-associating brain then recalled images of the many actual signs I saw along the streets of Chicago during my first and only marathon back in 2015. Some of them were funny ("Ohhhh you're halfway there!" accompanied by a headshot of Jon Bon Jovi), some were meant to encourage ("Pain is temporary, pride is forever!"), and others reminded runners of the prizes that awaited them at the finish line: ice baths, medals, and most importantly, beer.
As my head sorted through these signs and wondered what others I might see this October, the image in my head changed unexpectedly, and I found myself choking up a little. (Note: choking up towards the end of a fast run is a really great way to induce dry-heaving.)
Instead of signs saying things like "You can do it!" and "May the course be with you!", I suddenly envisioned friends, family, and strangers alike holding signs of spiritual encouragement along the running path:
"Jesus already won this race for you – follow His lead!"
"Christ be my leader by night as by day; safe through the darkness for HE is the way!"
"Cast all your anxieties on Him; the LORD will carry you!"
"Earth is temporary – Heaven is forever!"
Just as race fans on the sidelines support our bodily and mental strength with motivational posters, what if our brothers and sisters supported each other with signs of spiritual encouragement during our race of faith on this earth?
I'm not suggesting that the new way to support each other is to write scripture on signs and hold them up for all to see. (It's well-meaning, but might not be as effective as an actual conversation.)
What I am suggesting is for us to simply consider how we can be signs of spiritual encouragement to our fellow man while running – or walking – on this earth.
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace. (Acts 20:24)
The imagery of racing appears at several points in the Bible, and especially in 1 Corinthians. Since the Corinthians were so familiar with the Olympic Games of the 1st century, as well as the arduous responsibility of physical training itself, the Apostle Paul used foot racing as an analogy for a believer's life of faithfulness. He wrote to the church of Corinth, saying,
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. (1 Corinthians 9:24-25).
Here, Paul's appeal is that believers should be as unwaveringly committed and focused as those runners were in the ancient games. Our motivation in serving Christ is much greater, however; we run for the eternal crown of heaven, not just for some medal and free bananas at the finish line.
If you know anyone who has run a race before, you know that runners really do depend on the cheers and inspiration of spectators to help them keep going when the going gets tough. Knowing the stakes and the true prize of this life's spiritual race, then, I wonder once more:
How can we be the biggest, most visible, and most fortifying signs of blessed cheer to each participant in this earthly race of faith?
Attending church, discussing the meaning of HIS word during Bible study, confiding in and praying for each other, cooking a meal for a neighbor in need, smiling at strangers, telling new friends about the hope we have in Jesus, going out of our way to simply be good and help others even if they don't know or appreciate it – yes, these are just a small handful of things we can do to motivate and help sustain fellow runners in Christ.
What other ideas can you think of?
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. (Hebrews 10:24)
But you should know – it's not just about making the sign and showing up for that one race. The ancient runners needed to be focused and dedicated to their long-term training; so too must we be ever vigilant in our efforts to support, direct, and nurture our fellow runners, even when we are in the race ourselves.
If you are a runner, you'll know that the running community is one of the most sympathetic and friendly groups of people you'll ever meet. Whenever I'm on the trails and pass another runner, we wave to each other – every time. It's a greeting, a gesture of respect and admiration, and a way to say "great job, keep it up!" to motivate each other.
Neither of us know how many miles we've run or how many we have yet to go. Maybe I've only just started, but the former addict I pass has already done a half-marathon. Maybe your afternoon 10k is a breeze, while the single mother behind you is out of breath after only her first mile.
We are all at different points in our races, all struggling with our own weaknesses and attempting to build upon our own strengths. All trying not to despair when we realize there's a really big hill ahead of us. All hungry for a Savior who will forgive our shortcomings and help us cross the finish line.
Thinking back to Paul's aim in Acts 20:24, it is vital for us not only to run and finish the race but to complete the task the Lord Jesus has given us all – "the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace."
As we are running our own races of faith, we must also be demonstrating the way of God and the manner of Jesus to those around us. Waving to our fellow man, helping them back up when they fall, offering food and drink and shelter and a shoulder to lean on when they are weak or full of doubt. Being a sign to redirect loved ones and keep them on the right path when they veer off course.
Dear Christians, there are so many ways to show others the love and hope of Christ Jesus. What does your sign say? What encouragement and reminders do you seek in other people's signs?
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. (Hebrews 12:1-2)
I did manage to catch my breath after getting so emotional during that run a couple weeks back – but not for long. Running onward, I continued to imagine spectators cheering me on and holding up posters of scriptural motivation and Gospel assurance. The emotional floodgates truly opened, however, when my mind's eye landed on a smiling Jesus waiting at the finish line, beaming with love and admiration and joyfully holding up his own sign:
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest! (Matthew 11:28)
I walked the rest of the way home. It wasn't my best time, and it wasn't my worst. Lucky for us, our Savior doesn't care about pace. No matter how long it takes, no matter how many dry heaves or water breaks, as we "press on toward the goal of the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:14), HE will be waiting with open arms, ready to bestow upon believers the crown of eternal life in Heaven. First prize.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. (2 Timothy 4:7-8)

I have been wanting to write a blog piece on this for some time now, and it comes at a point where I feel it's even more important than ever to stress the issues that I am about to write about...
We live in a world that is consumed by image. I grew up in the 90's where size 0 was the desired look and magazines and TV were a young girl's inspiration. I have to say I escaped my teenage years pretty unscathed, I didn't have an eating problem like many of my friends did and I lived a relatively healthy life. However, I can't help thinking that my experience whilst growing up has made me the way that I am today.
In a world where selfies are littered everywhere, quite literally everywhere and anywhere... (people have no shame!) It has become a world of online anonymity and false friendships based on 'likes' and 'love-hearts'. I literally saw someone taking a selfie in the gym last week... in the pool. I mean, I had to laugh, Im not sure why I was so shocked by the fact they had their phone out in the pool. They can't have been older than 20 but they are the primary users of social media and obviously have a constant requirement to share what they are doing every minute and second of the day. That was probably what got to me was the fact that, you can't enjoy a moment of peace in a pool without posting what you're doing. When did it become an aspiration to get over 100 likes on a photo by people you barely even know? Young girls DESPERATE to be famous... and why? ...because their idols are. It's all about trying to uphold an image, letting people see what you want them to see rather than the truth.
I have a love/hate relationship with Instagram. I love it because it's an amazing platform for people who are in business, people who want to share pictures with loved ones, friends and family and those that are using it for research, sharing a message etc. However, there is a side to Instagram and other social media platforms which I hate, a big part that I hate in fact. The side that requires people to filter, edit and change the pictures they post so that they don't even look remotely like the original. The false sense of perfect- people making themselves thinner, more tanned, bigger eyes, skin so flawless it could be printed in vogue. The list of things you can do, rival that of a photographer, and this is where my issue lies. This constant pressure to look great has gone too far.
It's no different to the days of aspiring to being size 0 apart from instead of being twig thin, the trend now is to have a big ass, big boobs, tiny waist, big lips, short hair. nope...long hair, which can be died from dark to blonde overnight then back to dark and pink just 24 hours later. To have the most perfect skin, contoured and highlighted within an inch of its life, so that the sun reflects back to a satellite off your cheekbones and you're so contoured that your face looks like its 3x smaller than it should be. To have the latest trainers, outfits, cars, watches and material things, because they make you happy. And don't even get me started on the muscly bodies of men that litter my screen... And not in a good way either! Workouts which totally contradict each other...Vegans are taking over the world one meat eater at a time and well
F*ck it. I'm exhausted.
Seriously everywhere I look on Instagram are the same pictures of girls and guys looking IDENTICAL. I swear I can't tell the difference anymore. You all know the look I'm talking about too and either that's you or someone you know. It's totally un-achievable. Its influencing young girls and boys, making them feel inferior like they are not good enough and self-conscious. What happened to everyone being their own person. What happened to people being unique and owning a personality?
As a make-up artist I would say my style is natural yet beautiful. 'Instagram make-up' doesn't suit everyone, I don't stamp the same look on each person, they are individuals and should be treated as such.. Everyone deserves to be made to feel beautiful and I do that with makeup by enhancing their best features. If I had a £1 for every time someone sat in my chair and complained about not just one thing but literally a list of things they didn't like about their face- I'd be rich! Instead I don't ask what they dislike, but only about their best features, giving compliments so that they leave feeling the best they have ever felt.
I am not yet a mum but I have got little people around me and have been told that I am a role model for many young girls (and boys) but mainly girls because of my job. I don't think I could cope with bringing up a child in this world, everyone being so image conscious. I generally worry about the influences that they are under in school and life. There is no escape anymore. Nowadays kids have Ipads, TVs and access to all sorts of online material. Its worrying that its everywhere and inescapable. Whilst they can be wonderful pieces of information, I can't help feeling like the masses abuse what they're actually for. It's the same with social media, without intention, it has morphed into a platform to influence the majority and it's no wonder there is such a huge rise in people having plastic surgery, problems with body image, crazy diets, body dis-morphia and so on.
Without going too much into detail, I was 17 when my godmother passed away from a brain tumour, apart from my own mum, she was the best role model I had and was a huge influence on me in the fact that she was a successful business woman, beautiful, strong and independent. Everything she did I looked up to and to this day I still remember things she said and did.
(how has this got anything to do with social media you ask? stay with me...)
It doesn't, not really. It's to do with my influences. A few years later my own Mum got cancer and fought it for 2 years, finally and successfully beating it. I say this rather loosely because although the cancer is out of her body, every day is a constant reminder of the trauma she had to overcome, her body scarred from many operations, chemo and radiotherapy. Every day I think of my mum and others who have had to endure a similar experience, or in many cases far worse. Every day it angers me to think about these young people who are constantly worried about their appearance, how if they change all these things about them will they be happier? All I'll say is that some people don't get that choice. Like my mum, her body has been ruined by something out of her control. (Don't get me wrong she's still beautiful) but these people take their bodies and faces for granted. The influence this has had on me, made me think long and hard about how I feel about the way that I look.
From that point onward, I've not ever taken for granted what I have been born with, whilst we are being TRUTHFUL there are things that sometimes I look at and don't like, I have 'fat days' like everyone else. I have photos where it looks like my arm has eaten the rest of my body. But I quickly get over it. I do exercise but only to keep sane and have fun. I've tried dieting and honestly- it's not for me. It makes me miserable and I prefer to work on being happy from the interior of my body instead of the exterior. And, after many years of trying to fit into the crowd I've decided that being different is much much better.
I may have rambled on through this whole blog, and yes it has very little to do with make-up but I wanted to say to all those suffering with feeling unhappy or not good enough...
You are beautiful no matter what anyone else says or does. Beauty really does come from within (sorry cringe alert!) it comes from having confidence, it shows through the love of something that you do, whether that be a hobby or from your work. If someone is generally happy on the inside it shows on the outside. I want young girls and boys to know that growing up and being different is far better than being the same as everyone else. It makes you more interesting and stand out in a crowd. Life really is too short. So f*ck it, eat a cake if it makes you happy, remember there are people dying out there. And if you are one of those 'Instagram people' I spoke about earlier, and you're happy that way then carry on! Don't let me stop you!

Our Ride To Work Pilot program ended after November 2016 with success. We helped 23 people in the Pilot with the small Grant we received. However, we learned a lot. Small beginning are leading to bigger opportunities for low income residents of Syracuse seeking jobs without reliable transportation.
We are developing a Shuttle to Work program that will pick up Syracuse City residents in neighborhood pickup locations and provide transportation to/from jobs in Syracuse & East Syracuse. If a company is interested in helping to fund a Shuttle to their job site, have them contact us.

For this week's Thirsty Thursday, I want to highlight the sponsor of ARToberfest, Marsala Beverage. Marsala is a distributor of Anheuser-Busch, craft beers from medium to large breweries, and other non-alcoholic beverages.
While many homebrewers will be showcasing their craft beers and competing for the Brew Master title for a $500 grand prize, Marsala will also bring other brews to the event so that guests can enjoy some of their favorite brands.
The poster for 3rd Annual ARToberfest prominently feature's Marsala's logo. It was designed by NCLAC's intern and Louisiana Tech graphic design student Caitlin Angel.
From Marsala's website:
Marsala Beverage is headquartered in Monroe and is locally owned and operated by Charles and Brenda Marsala and their children, Damon Marsala and Mandy Pritt. Our approximately 95 employees, including a Branch Warehouse in Ferriday, distribute beers and beverages to 15 North Louisiana parishes. We annually deliver over 2.8 million Cases of product to more than 750 licensed retailer accounts.
We provide many services to our retailers. Those services include Direct Store Delivery (DSD), cooler stocking/stock rotation, marketing and POS materials, sales tracking, inventory management, and business analysis.
As a large, regional beer distributor, Marsala has brought some interesting brews to North Louisianaa, beyond just light and dark beers. For instance, you may have noticed brands from Covington Brewery and Saint Arnold at local supermarkets throughout the area.
Come join us on October 5th at the Historic Fire Station on Bonner St in Ruston. There will be an extensive selection, from beers provided by Marsala to craft beers from regional homebrewers!

The Nigerian novelist and poet Ben Okri wrote an article for Tuesday's Guardian newspaper about citizenship, arguing that the failure of a nation begins with the abdication of responsibility to political leaders. Citizenship, he says, is one of the most vexed issues in the human story.
Who is deemed a citizen of this or that city or state has been at the core of what constitutes a human being with rights in this world, says Ben Okri. "The first thing that is done in any colonial or imperial enterprise is to redefine the idea of the citizen. Usually the colonising power revises downward the citizenship content of the indigenous peoples, and revises upward their own status."
Reaction to the Trans liturgy
Okri is writing about the citizen as a member of the state but he provoked me to turn my thoughts to the intense anger and resentment that erupted following the House of Bishops utterly inadequate response to the debate and vote at the July Synod requesting them to produce a liturgy specifically for trans people.
I think the bishops made a disastrously bad decision. They were slow to respond to the negative reaction and have done nothing to demonstrate understanding of why LGBTQI Anglicans are so angry. We are effectively disenfranchised. We almost never have a voice at the table. One Trans woman and one gay man have been appointed as members of the House of Bishops steering group to advise the bishops as they prepare a new teaching document. These two representatives will not be at the table when the document itself is written and approved – the bishops retain sole rights over the final aspect of the process – and none of the Episcopal members of the group is (at least openly) lesbian or gay.
Representation in the Church of England
One dimension of the campaign for LGBTIQ equality in the Church of England has been the repeated demand to the 'state' (Church House and Lambeth Palace) and the 'colonising power' (the House of Bishops) that no decisions should be made about us without us being fully represented at the table.
During the colonial enterprise, says Okri, indigenous peoples were deemed to be living on the periphery of power, outsiders in their own land. Citizenship is an idea, not an actuality. You can be born in a land and still not be a citizen of that land. When the Europeans sailed to North America and made themselves at home there, the very citizenship of the native American peoples was immediately contested. There is a sense in which citizenship is related to power, or powerlessness. The Brexit referendum was about citizenship, or a perceived absence of citizenship; about immigration, which is a challenge to the idea of citizenship.
The Church of England grants a very partial degree of enfranchisement to its members through the system of Synodical Government. It is very indirect. Members on a church electoral roll elect people to the PCC (Parochial Church Council) who elect members to the Deanery Synod who elect members to the General Synod. Members of the Church of England do not get a vote to directly elect members of the General Synod. I'm not about argue for reform of the electoral system (though the thought comes that this might not be a bad idea, given the number of time people ask me how Synod members get to be there). I'm simply noting that the church system works very inadequately in ensuring that LGBTQI people have a voice at the table, and that's because the only people at the table are the bishops who are members of the House of Bishops. Until recently they were all men. Also until recently, not one of them was openly gay. As a gay man, I resent decisions being made about my status in the Church of England in the absence of openly LGBTIQ people, and so, thanks to the recent furore about Trans liturgies, do a large number of my friends. Our demand for proper representation isn't going to stop here.
Back to Ben Okri
Okri says that "being a citizen is a high political and spiritual responsibility. It means holding the nation to the highest ethical and moral standards. It also means being constantly vigilant on freedom, liberty and the moral rights of ourselves and our fellow citizens, no matter who they might be." "It is a commitment of our souls to the enrichment of the human race."
I was struck by Okri's use of what I would identify as religious language. He sees citizenship in spiritual and dynamic terms.
"A citizen is a living unit of democracy, a living force for the possibilities of this world. Of all the qualities, the one I most value in the citizen is awareness. Awareness asks questions of the world. Awareness sees the conditions of the world as they are. Then they ask questions. They ask why. Sometimes they ask why not."
Okri argues that there is a dangerous mood of recidivism running through the west. There is a fake nostalgia for a time when there were no immigrants, and when the west was white and "pure". One of the causes is a staggering ignorance that people have about their own history. It means we have to keep fighting the same battles over and over again.
This critique can be applied to Christianity in general and the Anglican Churches in particular. GAFCON is our manifestation of a dangerous recidivism, manifest in England as well as in other, more extreme Provinces. We have our share of a powerful fake nostalgia, and because of the disenfranchisement of members of the Church of England, there is a staggering ignorance, not only of history, but of theology and exegesis, allowing people to hold what are fundamentally heretical ideas about and images of God. We are fighting the battle over human sexuality again and again. I see little hope that the bishops' new teaching document will end the battle.
Okri notes that the history of nations is the history of immigration. If you go back far enough, we are all immigrants. Everyone comes from somewhere else. This is as true of the Christian churches as of nation states. We are a mixed race of people and teachings, and those who argue for teaching based on the clear Word of God as written in the Bible are living in a fantasy land. The rich dialogue of souls that Okri describes - the result of history thriving on combinations as the rivers and seas flow into one another, air currents circle the globe - saves us from spiritual stagnation and cultural incest. Over the past two decades, those who value a rich dialogue that could be so creative for the Anglican Communion have been thwarted by the bully-boys (and they are mostly boys) from the GAFCON-dominated Global South. The result is paralysis in decision-making in the Church of England in response to the growing expectations of LGBTIQ members coupled with what I identify as spiritual stagnation.
In the political realm, says Okri, the more unaware and ignorant citizens are, the easier is it for them to be led in false directions. There is widespread ignorance at the local, congregational level in the Church of England about the most basic details of teaching, authority and church governance.
It is not the visible crisis that determines the true health of nations in the long term, says Okri. A nation is shaped during the stretches of invisible crisis: those periods when nothing seems to be happening, when our decisions do not seem to be momentous. He believes we have been in such an invisible crisis for some time. I think the Christian churches have also been living through a relatively invisible crisis for two centuries, a crisis which became far more acute as the second half of the twentieth century progressed.
Okri believes it is absurd to think that somehow great leaders made their nation great. That is the worst kind of magical thinking, he says. It is we the citizens whose active participation at a local, national and international level helps to create the possibilities of our world. I believe that the citizens of the Christian churches at the local level are an untapped resource for change, their energy suppressed by the hierarchy. That was the effect of the bishops' failure to listen to last July's Synod debate and act with courage. To quote Okri: "A new force, an unstoppable force, is unleashed in the world when the citizen, the individual, becomes aware that they are the power that makes it all happen, that their solidarity can alter the course of history, that their "yes" can transcend obstacles and create new futures, that their "no" can stop future disasters and correct injustices."
The Christian church is not a democracy, let alone a democratic institution, but it would make a huge difference to the progress towards the full recognition of the dignity and equality of LGBTIQ people were there to be a far greater degree of representation of our identities in the places where decisions are made in the church.
Citizens of the Christian Churches, wake up; unveil your eyes, ask questions, use your power!

Episode 79: Positives and Negatives of Warmind
Let's talk about Warmind! We've got update notes to cover, plus our early experiences with the expansion's story and PVE elements and some initial numbers on the weapon changes.
Unrelated Notes about Graviton Lance and Crimson being good now
This episode we just freely expressed our thoughts and impressions rather than working from notes, which means we don't have anything related to share here. That said, everybody loves knowing things, so here are some things you might like to know about Graviton Lance and Crimson!
Graviton Lance has had its behavior changes from a standard PR firing configuration where the first two shots do minimal damage and the third does a larger amount, to a 2-round burst where the first shot does 1/5 the damage of the follow up shot. Currently, first round crits do 12, Black Hole crits do 60. First round bodies do 8, Black Hole bodies do 40.
This means that the weapon now capable of killing in 3 bursts (you need to hit all 6 shots, but the Black Holes are the only ones that need to be crits). And as far as those missing frames, they simply moved the 2 frames from the burst to the delay between bursts, thus it did not get the buff we originally expected.
- Graviton Lance now kills in 1.00s optimal, and 1.87s body shots, which is enough to move it into the upper tier of competitive weapons in terms of Optimal, but it still very subpar in terms of Body Shot.
Crimson is also much more competitive now, especially among the Hand Cannons. It got a straight RoF buff, going from a burst delay of 7 frames to one of 6, and also a damage buff, pushing the crit damage up to 24 and the body shot up to 17. Keep in mind the Crimson has a unique burst pattern, with 2 frames between each shot in the burst instead of 1, which explains the lengthier TtK even with a minimal number of bursts required to kill.
- Crimson Times-to-Kill have thus shifted to 1.07s Optimal (7 crit 2 body), 1.50s Body (12 body).
Until next time!

So normally I'm a fairly private person, however with this I feel it's better to post photos on here versus on my Facebook page in which some people don't even know I had surgery. This has pretty much been my week. I'm still fairly sore but actually got dressed today and I'm feeling more like myself. I'm still having a lot of low back/tailbone pain and I'm not sure why. Otherwise just taking things as they come.

More and more people are investing in bank foreclosures for sale with the idea of further stabilizing their financial situation. Nothing drives the message of financial security better than witnessing the actual effects of a recession on a person's life and dreams.
Everyone is now more careful with their investments and they want security in all the transactions they enter into. Investing in bank foreclosures for sale scores high in terms of security and affordability and so it is a preferred investment choice.
Bank foreclosures are properties that have been repossessed by banks following mortgage default. The properties are initially offered to the market through auctions. If the auction is unsuccessful, the homes become real estate owned or bank owned. A home owner defaults on their mortgage for several reasons. Unemployment is the major reason for this but there are other upheavals that can cause people to lose their ability to pay off their loan.
This situation has created a market replete with opportunities for home buyers and real estate investors. You have a scenario where banks are hard pressed to sell off their inventory of foreclosures to a market that already has thousands of foreclosure properties waiting to be purchased. They need to be creative in their offerings to attract buyers.
Incentives and Perks
Bank foreclosures can provide a great savings and instant equity to buyers. In addition, banks exert an effort to enhance the buying experience. All bank foreclosures are sold with title insurance. As soon as the property transfers to the bank, the outstanding mortgage and all other liens or holds on the property are extinguished.
Some banks will provide financing if the buyer can present a pre-approval document signifying that they are qualified for a loan based on their income and credit score. Other perks offered by banks may include a home appraisal, a minimum pest certification and flexible mortgage terms. Eviction will also be handled by the bank.
If you are seriously thinking of a way to build your wealth and secure your future, investing in bank foreclosures for sale should be on your list of things to consider.

Sinusitis is a swelling and inflammation that happen in sinus cavity and usually followed by the congeries of mucus with the result that the sinusitis sufferers feel breathless (breathing difficulty) and moreover face pain. Some factors that make sinusitis increases are allergy, anatomical variations, infection, nasal tumor, polyp, immune deficiency, abnormal mucociliary, air pollution, and maxillofacial (jaw) trauma. Sinusitis is defined by four categories.
They are acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) which lasts no more than 4 weeks, subacute which lasts more than 4 weeks but less than 12 weeks, chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) which lasts more than 12 weeks, and recurring when ARS relapses 4 times or more in a year. Several complications which could be happen in ARS and CRS are Meningitis, lung disorder, chronic bronchitis, and asthmatic bronchitis. It needs more medical treatments and examination.
This condition indicates that in occasionally, home remedies can only alleviate the symptoms, giving medikamentosa treatment by using antibiotics and using herbal medicine are the effective ways for giving home remedies for sinus congestion.
The commonly systemic signs of ARS are fever, headache, sluggish, thick nasal mucus, stuffy nose, and hard to smell, and swollen face. The simple home remedies that can be done is giving medikamentosa treatment by using antibiotics for 10-14 days which are Amoxicillin, Amoxicillin-clavulanate, cefpodoxime proxetil and cefuroxim, Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, clarithromycin and Azithromycin. In case if those antibiotics are unsuccessful and do not give responses in 72 hours in first remedy, giving fluoroquinolone gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin and levofloxaci could be considered.
The clinical signs of subacute is same as ARS, yet the signs of acute inflammation such as fever, headache, and the pain subside.
The Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is different against with ARS and subacute in some aspects. It has mild and severe symptoms. Occasionally, the symptoms are very mild like nasal drip which causes chronic cough and headache in CRS which usually happens in the morning and it will be subside after daytime.
For the remedy, You can give medikamentosa treatment indeed by using antibiotics such as amoxicillin-clavulanate, Clindamycin, Cefpodoksime proxetil, cefuroxime, gativloxacin, moxifloxacin, dan levofloxacin but In generally, it is difficult to recover by only using home remedies like medicamentosa. You should find out the causal factors and it needs more medical therapies.
Toward the Herbal Medicine, there are many herbs which can alleviate the sinus congestion. They work by preventing and treating the flu, increasing the immune system, and alleviating sinus inflammation. They are Chinese Skullcap, Feverfew, and Willlow Bark. They can be made into herbal tea which can be drunk for 3-4 times for a day.
Thus, having more awareness about the sinusitis and know how to deal with it based on its signs and symptoms by using two simple ways (the antibiotics and herbal medicine) are the effective home remedies for sinus congestion.

Here we are in downtown Columbus, Ohio, on a beautiful day. We could use more days like this now. As the wedding officiant for Tessa & Dustin, I had a marvelous time celebrating with them on their big day. Their ceremony took place inside The Columbus Athenaeum, which offers the advantage of photographs in the city. The Renaissance Hotel is very close to The Athenaeum, so a shot like this one (above) becomes possible. Pretty cool, huh?
In this shot I am privileged to pose for a moment with this lovely couple. Tessa & Dustin look very happy and I am so glad for them!
Lastly, Tessa & Dustin share a kiss to celebrate their new union as husband and wife. Tessa & Dustin I wish you many years of God's Best and all the blessings of love and marriage together for all your years!

Foraging Ecology of Marine Mammals in Monterey Bay
As top predators, understanding the foraging behavior of whales can greatly inform our knowledge of the health of our oceans. The goals or our Monterey Bay whale research program are to (1) better understand how baleen whales utilize the vast resources in Monterey Bay, and (2) how the oceanography of Monterey Bay makes it an ideal foraging ground for the world's largest animals. We use a suite of novel tagging and recording techniques to study whale foraging behavior and collaborate with researchers from other local institutions and the whale-watching community.
Humpback whales take the gulp!
Humpback whales can fit 70% of their body weight in water in one giant mouthful!
In order to study the lives and habits of whales that spend over 95% of their time below the surface requires the use of novel tags and environmental sensing tools. Our team uses a combination of multi-sensor recording tags and passive acoustic recorders to shed light on the behavior of whales in Monterey Bay. Our tags are designed to provide us with unique data and video, from the whale's perspective, on how they maneuver and forage. Acoustic recording devices can inform us as to the relative abundance and diversity of marine mammals inhabiting Monterey Bay throughout different times of the year. In order to truly understand why whales are present, we collaborate with oceanographers, marine scientists, and naturalists from a number of local institutions, government agencies, and the whale-watching community to help provide context as to the conditions that are necessary to support whales and other marine mammals. This multi-disciplinary approach to understanding the processes and features of Monterey Bay that promote whales to be able to thrive is a foundational goal of COA.
Reaching for gold!
By placing suction cup tags on whales, we learn about where they go, how deep they dive, and what they spend their time doing.

, NAIROBI, Kenya, May 3 – Police officers in Kasarani on Tuesday lobbed teargas to disperse hundreds of boda boda riders who had barricaded the Thika Superhighway at Roysambu, protesting the killing of their colleagues.
The riders from Kahawa West complained that three of their colleagues had been killed over the past month, with the latest on Sunday at dawn.
"The suspects have been stealing and killing our members… they are armed, in fact they are our customers," an official of the operators' lobby said.
A detective privy to investigations into the deaths told Capital FM News three suspects had been arrested during a nightlong operation linked to the latest killing.
The protests led to a major traffic snarl up on the busy highway which has affected Kamiti Road.
Calm was restored late on Tuesday afternoon

Published on January 18, 2016
Weight loss was the third most popular New Year's resolution this year, according to ABC News. But determining how much you should actually weigh is not that simple.
The most common ways to find your ideal weight include measuring your Body Mass Index, Waist-Hip Ratio and Waist to Height Ratio. Each has pros and cons and the best answer is probably a combination of more than one, according to Miguel Prieto, MD, an internal medicine physician with Emerald Physicians in Bourne.
"The Body Mass Indicator is based on your height and your weight," Dr. Prieto said. "It's pretty useful when it comes to doing medical research, however it is not very specific. You can have people with normal BMIs who are actually at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease or diabetes. Or people with a higher BMI may not be at risk if they are very muscular."
Currently doctors automatically check height and weight with every visit, so a patient's BMI is easy to calculate. Additionally, websites like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have BMI calculators.
Once you get that number, the CDC classifies BMI the following way:
In each category there is quite a range of weights. For example, the normal weight range for a 5-foot, 5-inch woman is between 111 and 150 pounds. That's a pretty big span, so this is when knowing your frame size comes into play. If you have a measuring tape, there are simple calculators that use wrist measurement to determine your frame.
An informal way to check frame size is to wrap your thumb and middle finger around your wrist, just above the wrist bone. If your fingers overlap, you have a small frame. If they just meet, you have a medium frame. If they don't meet you have a large frame. Once you know your frame size, it tells you which end of the "normal" spectrum of weight you should aim for on the BMI chart.
The problem with BMI, as Dr. Prieto pointed out, is that it doesn't take into account waist size or muscle tone. It underestimates the amount of body fat in overweight people and overestimates it in muscular people, because people who have developed muscles simply weigh more. An Olympic athlete could have a higher BMI than someone who never exercises, so the non-athlete could very well look healthier on paper if the BMI alone is used as a measure.
To account for those differences another common measurement is waist circumference. Waist circumference coupled with BMI is much more specific and sensitive for prevention of diseases, Dr. Prieto explained.
"Unfortunately in primary care, we don't measure waist circumference on a regular routine basis," he said. "That might change, though, because studies show that it is a very good tool."
Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR) is one way to use waist circumference to determine health. To calculate your Waist-Hip Ratio, measure the smallest circumference of your waist and the widest part of your hips. You then divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has concluded that WHR is a better predictor than BMI when it comes to the risk of diabetes and hypertension. The CDC considers a ratio of .90 or less to be safe for men and a ratio of .80 to be safe for women. Both genders are considered to be at risk for heart disease if their WHR is over 1.0.
In 2012, Dr. Margaret Ashwell and a team at the British Nutrition Foundation did a study that showed that the best – and simplest – ratio was the Waist to Height Ratio (WHtR). Instead of looking at complicated charts with meaningless numbers, the WHtR has one simple rule. For an optimum healthy weight, your waist circumference should be less than half your height.
Dr. Ashwell's study analyzed several studies involving approximately 300,000 people. She found that a good WHtR was better at preventing health risks including diabetes, hypertension, stroke, dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease than the BMI.
Regardless of what tool you use, living a healthier lifestyle will help you live longer and better, said Dr. Prieto.
"In our culture we have an obsession about weight. When you actually implement the lifestyle changes that we recommend, the pursuit of the optimal weight becomes secondary," he said.
"If you are eating foods like fresh vegetables and fruit and you're eating foods that are really low in processed starches and fats and you're exercising 150 minutes a week or more at 70 percent of your heartrate that decreases your risk for Alzheimer's by 45 percent to 54 percent. For me that's more important than trying to chase a number."

Allah is being very bad again. I just hope that there's no resurrection.
"A church that is unwilling to use the binding key has no business using the loosing key."
What is the Office of the Keys?
The office of the keys is that special authority which Christ has given to his church on earth to forgive the sins of repentant sinners, but to withhold forgiveness from the unrepentant as long as they do not repent.
Where is this written?
St. John the Evangelist writes in chapter 20: The Lord Jesus breather on His disciples and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven." [John 20:22-23]
What do you believe according to these words?
I believe when the called ministers of Christ deal with us by his divine command, in particular when they exclude openly unrepentant sinners from the Christian congregation and absolve those who repent of their sins and want to do better, this is just as valid and certain, even in heaven, as if Christ our dear Lord dealt with us himself.--Luther's Small Catechism, p. 27, 1986, CPH
Before I really went to the meat of what I was going for with that earlier statement, I thought that a short review of what the Office of the Keys is, and there is no better place than Luther's Small Catechism. I am going to hold off on where I am going, however. Let me just say this: I'm going somewhere with this that no one would expect me to, not even pastors.
Update: Because of the above link, Allah has finally made his way onto my blog roll.

How to Leverage Telematics Data in the E-mobility Era?
There is a rare momentum in the EV market where (1) strategic engagement of the regulators is combined with (2) a very strong acceptence of the auto industry by investing billions in new EV models and battery technologies and (3) charging infrastructure is also developing quickly to make e-mobility financially and economically appealing choice for companies compared to normal combustion engine vehicle fleets. According to a Telegraph article the Total Cost of Consumer ownership could reach parity with combustion engine vehicles from 2018.
Combining telematics data with energy/charging management could result in huge financial and environmental impact for drivers and fleets on the operational level.
The financial benefits of EV integration includes fuel savings up to 70% due to the cheaper electricity price compared to fuel on a yearly basis (calculation is based on prices in Germany), and also maintenance savings are remarkable as electric vehicles have significantly less wear and tear costs (no need for oil change, braking system is more durable, no spark plugs, less moving parts in the engine). Savings on the maintenance can reach 40%. In case of a 100 vehicle fleet the saving on energy costs can be 168 000 EUR on a yearly basis and further 20 000 EUR/year can be saved on maintenance. If the electrification of 100 vehicles is succesful it can reduce CO2 emission by 360 tons on a yearly basis assuming electricity production is clean.
There are huge potentials in fleet electrification, but it comes with challenges. Here are a few hints how telematics can be used in the new era of e-mobility to overcome the main barriers:
1. Understanding Duty and Driving Cycle
Successfully integrating electric vehicles into your fleet is all about understanding and managing vehicle usage patterns. By adopting EVs, fleets can achieve significant cost benefits with savings in gas and maintenance costs — but only if they plan it properly. Uncertainty about duty cycles can cause barriers and could result slower actions even if it is economically viable to replace normal ICE vehicles with electric vehicles. Telematics can help to evaluate how you really use your vehicles, including distances driven, potential charging opportunities, driving style, geography, temperature etc. If you are able to log your trips for 1–2 months, you can have a much better understanding about your needs and you can decide how you could optimize your fleet whether the solution is a pool vehicle or the electrification of the fleet. You can find an advanced study about driving cycles of EVs published in the World Electric Vehicle Journal here.
2. Feasibility Assessment for Fleet Electrification
When you understand how you use the vehicles, you can check whether buying or leasing an EV could make sense at all. Then the following questions might arise for you: Which vehicles could do the job for the given use case? There are further criteria to consider as cost driven decisions are not feasible in all the cases.
(A)Shall I optimize for reducing fleet costs? Then TCO can help to decide which option is the best.
(B)Do I want to make sure that there is no downtime due to need for charging as my business operation is critical? In this case you might invest more in vehicles with larger battery capacity or redundant charging infrastructure.
(C)Do I have other social/contextual aspects to consider such as motivation or prestige? For example he Chief Commercial Officer of the company might be able to do all the client visits within the city with a Renault Zoé, but he got used to premium vehicles, so buying a Tesla or a BMW would be a better choice to align with his preferences or impress potential clients if its needed.
In this complex environment the feasibility assessment could help you suggesting potential electric vehicles for a given role and suggest suitable charging infrastructure too. You can make a vehicle deployment plan taking into consideration new models in the market and changes in battery technology (potential ranges are growing gradually). Voltia is a company as an example that provides feasibility assessment and deployment planning beside offering e-mobility-as-a-service for logistics businesses considering to integrate EVs.
Now you know how you use your vehicles, which vehicles could be replaced with EVs. You buy or lease the electric vehicles for your company. The next challenge is managing them on a daily basis.
3. Maximizing E-mobility Efficiency
Here you will have a new aspect to consider which is charging management. Mastering this will define the success of your e-mobility integration project. Do we have the right charging infrastructure at the office for 10–20 vehicles? How about if we grow the fleet to 100? How should I make sure that all the cars are charged when my colleagues need them? How about home charging? How can I manage the reimbursement for my colleagues after using their own home electricity? The sales department wants to use the vehicles for intra-city sales trips after changing the initial sales strategy (yeah, we had a feasibility assessment, but there was a change). How can I access the public charging infrastructure? Is it possible without having multiple contracts? Those are the questions fleet owners/managers often ask related to operating e-vehicle fleets.
There are great companies solving part of these problems such as public charging access solved by Plugsurfing or Chargepoint. Chargepoint also teamed up Schneider Electric to provide a more integrated energy management service. However at Konetik we identified a strong need for an integrated end-to-end e-mobility management platform that includes charging management, access to public charging infrastructure with automated fleet administration features and help fleet owners and managers to optimize performance.
4. Smart Charging/Incentivized Charging
Managing charging is essential, not just for the fleets, but also for utilities to make sure that the grid remains stabile. Companies could reduce their energy costs if they help utilities to reduce the stress on the grid and they can get financial incentives to do so. This is called incentivized charging or smart charging. Telematics can also help you to find the right balance around battery State of Charge, jobs to be done, electricity prices and grid load. An example of such program are the Electric Vehicle Charging Rewards program by Con Edison in New York or the initiative by California based MCE in the US.
Fleet operators, also in public and the private sector, can contribute significantly to the deployment of electric vehicles: first through generating demand towards the market, and second thanks to their broader role as amplifiers in promoting and facilitating the uptake of electric cars by their staff and customers. But paralelly with the widespread of EVs within fleet environment, there are new, but foreseeable challenges emerging and telematics can be a useful tool to overcome those.
If you know any good examples that we missed (as there are only a few mentioned in this article) please let us know. Moreover if you are interested learning more or start a brainstorming how can companies and utilities further leverage vehicle and fleet data in the age of e-mobility we would be happy to have a chat. email@example.com

Something wakes you up in the middle of the night, and you realize your completely erect. What's up with that? (No pun intended.) Was your partner wriggling against you while you slept? Did you have an erotic dream you can't remember? Were you kidnapped by aliens?
While all of those are possibilities, chances are it's just Mother Nature's way of keeping your penis happy and healthy!
Middle of the night and early morning erections are an important way to keep your penis in tip-top shape. These nocturnal erections serve several purposes, including:
- Fresh, oxygenated blood is pumped into the penis with each erection. This stretches out the tissues and ensures they're properly supplied with the nutrients they need to stay healthy.
- Nocturnal hard-ons help prevent erectile dysfunction.
- From a procreation perspective, waking up with an erection is nature's way of encouraging you to reproduce.
All healthy men have several erections while they sleep. If you find yourself not waking up with morning wood, when you used to, definitely see a medical professional. It could be a sign of a vascular issue that is better taken care of sooner rather than later.
