The King KR-86 is a special ADF because both the Receiver and Indicator are integrated into one chassis. You don't need a spare instrument hole for an ADF if you have space for a KR-86 in your radio stack. With a KR-86, you get the solid-state King quality you have come to expect. The King KR-86 is designed to work with the King KA-42B ADF Loop / Sense Antenna as a system. The KR-86 Automatic Direction Finder is a digitally tuned solid state receiver which provides an aural reception and bearing information capability within the frequency range of 200 KHz to 1750 KHz. The digitally selected channels may be selected in 1 KHz increments. Each channel is crystal controlled by a slaved master oscillator which employs capacitance-variable silicon diodes. The extensive use of Integrated Circuits in the digital circuitry has been primarily responsible for the ease and speed with which this receiver can be tuned. Tuning speed is typically .01 second from the time that a frequency is selected. Please call for current exchange pricing.

A new exhibition has been launched at the Rectory which shows how the members of the Methodist women's group Network banded together nationally to demonstrate their support of the Black Sash movement in South Africa which was working to have apartheid abolished.
The new exhibition "Over the Rainbow" is at the Rectory until 31st October 2018 and is the second exhibition telling the story of women's campaigning within the Methodist Church. "Over the Rainbow" was a national campaign organised by Network which culminated in June 1990, with a rally and vigil at Central Hall, Westminster. It was so large that there was a second meeting point at Kennington Park, London; banners and women from all across the UK converged on London for this especial day. For this day, the women, in their districts or induvial churches, made their banners, or ribbons as they were called, for the London protest. We have photographs and reports of the event which show how massive the turnout was for these women to stand in solidarity with their peers in South Africa. After, many of the banners were put up in their home churches, other were sent to the Black Sash movement in SA to replace their 'ribbons' which has been defiled or destroyed by the police but 28 years later of the hundreds made very few still survive. At the Old Rectory we are privileged to home 20 of the 'ribbons' still in existence.
The exhibition was curated by Amy Wilkinson & was officially opened to the public by Bishop Ivan Abrahams (General Secretary of the World Methodist Council), who in his opening speech told us about why this exhibition was close to his heart as his mother was a founding member of the Black Sash movement, of Methodism of his earliest memories being the Charles Wesley hymns he heard in childhood, of his friendship with Nelson Mandela and of how he gave the sermon at Madiba's funeral.
To celebrate Nelson Mandela's 100th birthday there is to be a screening of Harriet Gavshon's 1986 film "The Ribbon" followed by a short service of celebration on Wednesday 18th July at 2.30 at Wesley Memorial Church, Epworth. Afterwards, please join us for a Strawberry shortcake tea. For more information please contact Gillian Crawley, 01427 872268.
The Old Rectory would like to thank all the women who stood in solidarity, who kept the banners which were eventually donated to the Old Rectory. If you have a banner or a memory of that day Gillian would be delighted to hear from you.

Listen to this article
Borough Market, in the heart of London, will be open for its first weekend of trading since the London Bridge terrorist attacks.
The Financial Times' headquarters is next door to the market, and over more than a decade I have passed through the market on the way to work, returning to it for coffee, lunch and yet more coffee.
My mental map of the market marks out a network of treats, from the simple pick-me-up of apples and flat peaches at Ted's Veg to the pesto-gnocchi at La Tua Pasta, thick slabs of ginger cake at Bread Ahead, spicy hearty pulses at Koshari Street and a hit of melted cheese at Kappacasein.
More temptation: the chips and aioli at Elliot's Café, the pappardelle with ragù at Padella (if you can get through the queue), the croquettes at Lobos and, if you are a cook, the copper pans and Japanese mandolins at Borough Kitchen.
The market's identity lies in its history. Nicholas Lander, the FT's restaurant critic, notes that 2,000 years ago it was a market for trading geese. And it is still changing, now home to established restaurants, up-and-coming stalls and experimental efforts by young chefs, such as the pop-up Eighty-Six List at 1 Cathedral Street.
After more than a week of suspended trade, workers returned and the market reopened on Wednesday after the horror of the attacks, in which eight people were killed and scores injured.
Large crowds have already visited in solidarity and here, FT journalists and friends have shared their favourite haunts and hidden tips in support of the traders and businesses that call Borough Market home.
John Ridding, FT chief executive
The Ridding Smoked Mackerel pâté has been on the menu of Wright Brothers for several years now — a mark of how much I have consumed and the fact that I do a lot of meetings there.
But — an important but — Wright Brothers is one of three regular restaurant haunts.
I alternate with Brindisa (Spanish food) and El Pastor (Mexican tacos) for my Monday pre-board meeting lunch — I always eat alone on Mondays to prepare. They serve different styles of food but what they have in common is exceptionally nice people.
No morning can start without a macchiato from Monmouth. Apart from the best coffee in London, they have also provided support for the FT pricing strategy. When they put their prices up, there is zero impact on the long queues (probably the longest queues for coffee in London). If you have a great product, coffee or journalism, people are willing to pay.
Tim Hayward, FT restaurant critic
For me, Borough was the epicentre of what we glibly call the "food renaissance" in the UK. It's been part of the capital's food history for as long as anyone can remember. Pioneers such as Monmouth, Brindisa and Neal's Yard chose it as a base when it still felt like a frontier. Since then, it's been through the same mad phases we all have, sometimes cutting edge, sometimes old school, sometimes geekily specialist, sometimes so populist it's hard to move. Borough is like family — inspiring of fondness and love, and irritation, always there and always "home".
The attacks shocked us all, but what I am beginning to hear are stories of heroism among my industry that frankly leave me floored.
Most of these people are kids, working insane hours and taking home fairly average wages. It takes a very special kind of person, someone who lives and breathes "hospitality" right down to their guts, to step into a situation where knives are being waved in defence of customers. That is pretty much the ultimate definition of hospitality — come in to my space and I will look after you, come what may.
I do not think most people will necessarily recognise this, and I do not think all of these stories will get the coverage they might deserve, but nothing has made me as proud of my industry as the events at Borough have.
Martin Wolf, chief economic commentator
I have two favourite places. The first is Roast, an excellent restaurant, perched above Borough Market in a huge greenhouse, which offers thoroughly English, yet imaginative, food.
My second favourite is a florist, Chez Michèle, which offers a large variety of elegant and colourful arrangements at all times of the year. Whenever I think I should give my wife some flowers, that is where I go.
Lionel Barber, FT editor
I like The Ginger Pig, where the pork is spicy and the prices are right.
Robert Shrimsley, FT editorial director
Forget the delights of the upmarket restaurants, my true taste of Borough Market has to be the £6 prawn wrap from Applebee's (although the bacon sandwich from Maria's market café runs it a damn close second).
The fresh prawns are griddled in front of you, wrapped in a tortilla with lettuce and a piquant sauce. Applebee's has a fine fish shop and restaurant too but the queues outside are all for the stall selling the prawn wraps. Buy a fresh juice from the stall by Roast in the market, sit in the sunshine near Southwark Cathedral and round it off with a coffee from Monmouth — and maybe a Boston Brownie (with cranberries) from Konditor and Cook.
Roula Khalaf, FT deputy editor
I will not forget that awful night at Black & Blue but I am glad to be able to reclaim my favourite spot on its sunlit front terrace.
Crispin Somerville, co-owner of El Pastor
Richard Haward's Cherrystone clams are consistently perfect.
My all-time favourite pint is Harvey's Sussex Best at our neighbours, The Market Porter (the landlord once told me how much they get through, which accounts for its vibrancy).
My current cheese obsession is the texture and bite of tyrosine crystals, often found in some of the aged Beauforts and Comtés available in the market, and I'm unable to walk past Bread Ahead's doughnuts without accidentally gorging on one, regardless of time of day.
James Lamont, FT managing editor
The fish are half-price at the fishmonger's on Saturday afternoon at about 5pm, and good gelato at 3Bis, an Italian ice-cream parlour.
I also love the smell of the different street foods on the way to work along the market side of Southwark Cathedral, especially the Ethiopian food.
Thomasina Miers, founder of Wahaca
Borough Market is a leading light for British food culture. It started with truly enlightened thinking, supporting small businesses and resisting the easy lure of big businesses with deeper pockets. The result is an extraordinary mix of independent food businesses, one of London's leading tourist attractions and a model that people have attempted to copy across London with limited success. To wander through the market is to have your senses assailed with glorious, carefully tended ingredients — it is bliss.
Farhana Yunis, FT executive assistant
Did you know the location of Bridget Jones's flat in the film Bridget Jones's Diary is above The Globe pub?
Ben Hall, FT world news editor
At De Calabria, a stall in the central covered section of the market from Thursday to Saturday, you can buy grassy olive oil, aromatic honey and spicy 'Nduja sausage.
Jancis Robinson, FT wine correspondent
The toasted cheese sandwiches sold at Kappacasein epitomise all that's great about Borough Market for me: innovative, fresh and delicious. Nourishing in every way. Long may it thrive.
Itamar Srulovich and Sarit Packer, Honey & Co, restaurant
It is very possible that the reason we moved to London was a visit to Borough Market. Seeing all that incredible produce, the careful producers and fussy importers, the people milling about looking for a culinary discovery or treat, waiting in line for their chorizo sandwich, the place always feels like a celebration of good living.
We love Neal's Yard and never leave there without a tub of their excellent yoghurt, we always stop at the two girls who sell swiss cheese cut from massive wheels — we call them the Gruyère sisters, and we adore Elliot's, a place that serves the kind of food we always want to eat. Our favourite place is above the market, at Roast. We come early on weekends and have the best English breakfast in town and watch the market fill up through the big beautiful windows.
Isabel Berwick, the FT's assistant features editor, and David Firn, weekend news editor, take a look at the mood in Borough Market after its reopening
Hugh Carnegy, FT executive newspaper editor
My top tip is the Wild Highland venison burger at the Furness Food Hut. I defy you to find a more delicious takeaway burger anywhere. Just watch out for the juices which can all-too-easily escape down your shirt.
Jonathan Ford, FT City editor
My discovery is Padella, the pasta joint owned by Jordan Frieda, the son of hairdresser to the stars, John Frieda. Short menu, buzzy atmosphere, but mainly mind-bendingly good rustic Italian pasta dishes — in my book the ultimate comfort food.
The main drawback is the secret bit; for a hidden gem it has become depressingly well known and you have to get there about midday if you want to squeeze along the zinc bar or behind one of the subterranean tables.

The recent Supercomputing Conference (SC17) included a very interesting plenary panel about Smart Cities. It's now available online, and I highly recommend watching it.
We live in the "Century of the City" because of the massive global migration to urban areas. The "smart city" notion is one that recognizes the influence of technology to create more opportunity for citizens and to address the challenges of providing city services across a heterogeneous population.
The federal government funded the Smart Cities Initiative in 2015 to improve the quality of life for residents using urban informatics and other technologies. At SC17, Seattle's Chief Technology Officer, Michael Mattmiller, spoke about Seattle being "Open by Preference," making data publicly available to encourage the development of innovative solutions that improve our quality of life.
He said that unlocking the promise of a smart, data-driven city requires a focus on data governance, consistent tools that facilitate cross-department collaboration, and educating the public on how to leverage the city's resources. It's been said that "data is the new asphalt.".
(Note: The recording starts a little abruptly with Mattmiller speaking, and there's a 42-second issue starting 84 seconds into the video. I attended the session live, and I can assure you that you're not missing anything critical.).
The plenary was moderated by Charlie Catlett, Director, Urban Center for Computation and Data, at Argonne National Laboratory. In addition to Mattmiller, the speakers included Pete Beckman, Co-Director, Northwestern Argonne Institute of Science and Engineering, at Argonne National Laboratory, and Debra Lam, Managing Director for Smart Cities and Inclusive Innovation, at Georgia Tech University.

Yesterday I wrote a med quiz at a hospital where I may have been considered for a job.
I needed 80% on the quiz to move on in the process and I'm seriously concerned I failed it big time.
I was expecting 30 questions, nothing too intense and instead I got 47 questions, some of which I was slightly unprepared for.
I had a total brain fart on the 8 'rights' when giving medication.
I couldn't think of what the abbreviation 'pr' meant (I figured I should put something so I put down extra strength. It really means 'by rectum'. I think I could argue that some people would consider that an extra strength medication).
I also blanked on what digoxin was for - I cirlced atrial fibrillation first then thought I was crazy so I changed it to coronary artery disease.
It's for A fib.
ALWAYS trust your first instinct.
I was very tempted to cheat as I have a med app on my ipod that could have very quickly told me what digoxin was for, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.
Sure it may have meant I got an extra question right and could have helped me move on to an interview, but I couldn't.
What I did do (because I always need to know if I'm a big loooser) was to google search and med app search every question I could remember. I also got my friend to look some up for me at while I was on my way home.
I know I got at least 5 wrong. I can only get 9.5 wrong to get that 80%.
Does anyone else feel the need to know what questions they got wrong right away?
It's a terrible feeling but it has to be done.
Homer sums it up best.
Anyway, to cheer myself up I've been watching a lot of Key & Peele on youtube this morning (after my 4.5 mile run this morning whoop whoop whoop - 10k in just over a week, maybe won't die!). Big thanks to John for recommending I watch these guys.

First off, I only recommend that you do not trim your bird's toenails yourself the first time, but instead have a competent pet store or avian vet show you how to do it. You can use http://aav.org/search/index.php to help you look up an avian vet in your area.
A bird's toenails have a "quick" in them. If you cut the nails too short, you will cut the quick, causing pain and bleeding. Losing even a few drops of blood can be dangerous for a small bird like a budgie. If you have been shown how to properly clip your budgie's toenails and are ready and confident enough to do it yourself, make sure you have some styptic powder on hand just in case you cut too far and nip the quick, which is easy to do even for experts. If you notice any blood, apply some styptic powder with your finger and hold with slight pressure on the tip of the toenail for a few minutes. Be sure to monitor the budgie for several hours afterward to make sure the bleeding does not recur.
Birds do not need their toenails clipped unless they are excessively long. Do NOT buy sandpaper perch covers, as these have been known to create ulcers on the bottom of birds feet. One great solution is cement perches, usually available at bird shops, pet stores, or online. These are easier on birds' feet, and will keep their nails nicely trimmed with no need for clipping. They are a bit expensive, but worth it.
Buy a small parakeet size cement perch and place it over their favorite perching place, or at another high point in the cage. If he does not use it within a week, try moving it to a different location. It will take a while for them to get used to it, so don't move it too soon.

Tarek Atia
I publish a hyperlocal newspaper in downtown Cairo, Egypt, so I'm always interested in seeing what colleagues around the world are doing in this sphere. Especially considering that our newspaper — called Mantiqti (My Neighbourhood or My Area) — is currently print-only (with a Facebook page). And that's on purpose. We think print still has a livelihood, especially in areas that have not yet been served properly by the media. So for me, part of visiting a lot of hyperlocal websites is also about seeing what has worked, and what hasn't; it's a way for our team to gather ideas that we might eventually use whenever we do our digital version of Mantiqti.
So, without further ado, here are the top five hyper-local websites I regularly visit.
Billy Penn
Following what digital pioneer Jim Brady is doing in the local news field in a no-brainer. Brady has been doing interesting work online since his days running washingtonpost.com. What I really like about his new Philadelphia-based hyper-local site Billy Penn is the way it has changed the template for what local sites should do. Opening up the content mix to aggregation and curation of local news from a variety of sources, combined with original reporting and off-line community gatherings, is a new idea that perfectly reflects local media's mission: to provide readers with the kind of continuing stream of essential information about their surroundings that makes going back to the site to see what's new an addiction. There's also a healthy combination of hard news and lifestyle info.
[Tarek will be a speaker at the GEN Summit 2015 in the session 'Hyperlocal News: The Comeback'. See all of our sessions and speakers. Not registered yet? Early Bird ends 31 January: don't wait!]
This fairly new entrant into the local media scene in France has rapidly expanded to include three mid-size cities: Tours, Poitiers, and Niort. I'm impressed that these guys managed to beat the big international players like Metro, which tried to take Tours by storm. It makes more sense for local news to be produced by local players, rather than huge international operations. Local news is not like fast food, and it should have a very down-to-earth local feel to it, specific to the place being covered. I like the fact that the TMV site is easy to navigate: you can easily see the top news from all three places on the front page, and you have the option of going deeper into each community. They also provide the PDF of the print edition of the paper if the digital tidbits have merely whet your appetite for more. On the PDF you also get to see the local advertisements that ran in the paper.
Charlotte Five
I like the simplicity and the easy-going tone of this new site. Like Billy Penn it is trying to attract the all-important millennials category of readers. But unlike Billy Penn it is going for a limited approach: just five stories per day. Charlotte Five is produced by the print-based Charlotte Observer, a long-running paper covering the largest city in North Carolina — but Charlotte Five is vastly slicker in design than its veteran owner's site. Just looking at the titles of a typical day's five stories gives you an idea of the new site's style and focus: 'Ritz opening Punch Room on Valentine's Day. 8 Bob facts (their mixologist)'; 'Charlotte woman will sit with Michelle during Obama's State of Union Address'; 'Piedmont's CEO makes $3.1 million; 16 Charlotte-area CEOs who make more'; 'Spending Friday night at a high school basketball game is retro cool (sorta)'; 'The extra I-485 lane nobody can use'. Only 5 stories, but clearly a very diverse collection and a much more chatty approach. The site is also very transparent, telling readers how many people have viewed and shared each story, even when that number is in the single digits. They also have a symbol next to each story on the front page indicating what kind of story it is (listicle, photos, etc.).
Baristanet and Neighborhood Parents Network
Both of these sites are over ten years old, and that's why I like to keep going back to them every once in a while to see how they've managed to sustain an online hyper-local presence for so long. With Baristanet — which covers local communities in New Jersey — it's clearly a combination of solid neighbourhood coverage (politics, crime, local heroes, etc.), but also interesting ideas that may be useful or adaptable to our work on local news here in Cairo. Baristanet's gas prices comparison map, for instance, is a great visual tool that may work in Cairo, but for other goods like fruits and vegetables since our gas prices are controlled and do not fluctuate. I also like the creative category names. The crime section on Baristanet is called 'Sirens' [...] and there is even a section called 'Pets', which provides photos of lost and wandering cats (I see people in Cairo trying to do the same thing on social media). For me, hyperlocal is also an area where you can do specialised stuff, like a site for parents and kids in a certain geographical region. That's what the Neighborhood Parents Network site does in Chicago.
Greater Greater Washington
Because I also call Washington, DC my home, I like to keep tabs on what's going on in the old neighbourhood when I am away. Of course that means reading The Washington Post, Politico, USA Today, etc., but also the smaller hyper-local sites that help provide a different flavour, and provide news that the big guys may deem less important. Where else, for instance, would I find a small item trying to get to the bottom of why the 'next station' displays inside Metro cars are not working properly? The problem with a lot of these smaller digital startups is that they don't last, so you have to look for a new one once you notice they have stopped updating, or disappeared altogether. Greater Greater Washington is fine for now: being from DC how couldn't you like a site whose tag line is 'The Washington DC area is great, but it could be greater', and whose stated mission is Greater Greater Washington builds informed and civically engaged communities who believe in a growing and inclusive Washington region and speak up for livable communities and high-quality education for all'. In many ways it sounds just like what we are doing with Mantiqti here in Cairo!
Mantiqti (My Neighborhood) is the newspaper of Downtown, Cairo. It serves its local community like no other media entity in Egypt by providing in-depth coverage, useful information and entertaining content in an innovative designed, free monthly tabloid platform. It is the first of a series of local newspapers that will be rolled out by EMDP under the Mantiqti brand.
The idea of creating such a Hyper-Local Newspaper is to touch and shed the light on people whom most probably have never been covered by national newspapers. Our aim is to create a sense of familiarity and a bond between people of the area. ViaMantiqti, communities get to know each other, the business and hangouts that exist in their neighborhood, and develop awareness of things that they might pass by every day, but not even recognize.
The success of Mantiqti serves as an example of the willingness of people to participate in their own change, and what they can achieve given the proper tools and information.

Greetings all
G-Man here
The following are 2 notices that I've sent out to our AAC Pilots about an upcoming Flight Navigation Exercise i'm holding in the Blake Sea area. It is not limited to only AAC members. Anyone is welcome to fly with us. So if this sounds interesting to you, or you need more information, please feel free to IM me.
Notice #1
Greetings Pilots
I am in the process of planning another Multi sim navigation patrol/exercise. It will once again be in the Blake sea area. The patrol will end at Lt. Cmdr Sodak's new land in the area, where we will have a after event party. I am enclosing a LM to a sim that has a free helicopter and free airplane. If your new to multi sim flying and navigating I suggest using the helicopter. For the more experienced, you might want to try the plane. The helicopter is in the hangar at the SW end of the Field, and the plane is outside of that hangar to the south. Of course you are also free to use your own helicopter or airplane, if you own any. I'm not sure exactly what day it will be yet. More on that as I finish up the route. Hope to see everyone there.

Notice #2
Greetings Pilots.
This is the route for this Exercise. We will be starting at Honah Lee Surf Airport. Once there we will Rezz our ships one by one and take off, and follow the route listed below. Try and keep at least 1 sim distance between you and the person in front of you. If you see the person in front of you stopped, you stop also. This helps on avoiding lag crashes if we keep only 1 pilot per sim.
Fly at an altitude of 100 meters and at a throttle speed no greater than 30%. You may fly slower if you wish.
If you do lag crash, tp to the last tp point, re-rezz and continue.
Remember to De-Prim as much as possible. Especially hair and shoes. They can kill you on sim crossings. Take off any attachments, huds, AO's, and radars. Turn on your ARC and look at it. It should be as low as possible, and the color green!
You will be crossing 22 sim borders on your flight today.
Good Luck!
Fly North to Blake Sea - Cattewater (5 sims)
Turn right (east) to Blake Sea - China (2 sims)
Turn left (north) and land at Hollywood Airport in Santa Catalina. (1 sim) This is one of the biggest and busiest airports in the Blake Sea area. Watch for air traffic!!
Once you've landed, relax for a minute then take off heading south back into Blake Sea -China (1 sim)
Turn right (west) and fly to Blake Sea - Crows Nest (3 sims). In the middle of this sim is a very beautifully detailed lighthouse with a helicopter landing pad. If your in a helicopter, try landing on the pad. If your in a airplane circle the lighthouse once before continuing.
Continue West to Blake Sea - Lanyard (3 sims) Turn right (north). Fly to Eliades. (5 sims). At this point start increasing your altitude. The runway is at 525 meters, so you want to be at about 550-560 meters to make your approach.
Ok Pilots, this is where it gets tricky! The sim just to the north of Eliades is Siracusa. It has been having alot of problems. DO NOT FLY INTO IT!!! It probably even appears dark on your mini map, so do not enter that sim! Instead turn right (North East) and cut across the corner of Wicktro and cross into Rivadulla (2 sims).
Turn left (North) and fly to Elhaddad (4 sims). By the time you get to Elhaddad you should be at an altitude of at least 550 meters.
Turn left (West) and you should see the Hangar/Runway in front of you. The Runway is at 525 meters. Head into the next sim, Tordangle and land on the runway.
Shutdown, end of Exercise.
Welcome to Lt. Commander Sodak's new place.
Let the Party Begin!! :)
For any who haven't been to the Blake Sea area, it is an amazing place! You have to see it to believe it. So I hope that anyone that can make it will come fly with us to see this wonderful place. And again, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to IM me in world. Hope to see you all there.
I am tentatively scheduling this event for next Sunday, 12/11/11 at 1pm SLT. Hopefully this will allow the maximum number of UK and US pilots to attend. I will put out more notices when the time has been permanently scheduled.
As Always...G-Man

And later:
Guillam was standing his height, barring the way, and for an extraordinary moment it seemed possible that, broken shoulder notwithstanding, he proposed physically to restrain Martello from coming any closer to where Smiley sat.
'Peter,' Smiley said quietly. 'I see there's a telephone behind you. Perhaps you'd be good enough to pass it to me.'

Scab on penis head, foreskin or penile shaft can be defined as clots of blood that are caused by healing bumps, blisters or pimples on penis. The clotting is aided by platelets in the blood. Scabs can only occur where there are sores or open wounds that are healing. When infected. the can be filled with puss and become very painful. We will also look at how to get rid of penile scabs naturally fast using home remedies and treatment.
In general, scabs are caused on top of any healing would or open sore on the skin. Scabs help in covering open wounds from foreign infections. Their main purpose is to keep the wound dry and help in healing faster. When open sores caused by pimples or STD bumps on penis head, shaft or the ball sac are healing, scabs will form on them to help them heal naturally faster
Penile scabs occur due to different causes. Some are outright injuries caused by whatever activities we partake in, while others are caused by different infections. These scabs can appear as black formations, red, or even cream. This will be dependent on the kind of discharge coming out of the sores and the length of time the scabs could have been there.
Scabs are dry and crusty and due to their rough nature, they can easily stick onto garments and peel off due to friction. The result would be a sharp tingly pain.
Causes of scabs will also depend on the type of skin you have and how your immune system deals with open sores on the skin. They could be as a result of wounds caused by sexually transmitted infections, masturbation, physical trauma, and many other causes that we will discuss deeper as we move on.
We will also look at how to go about handling the various kinds of scabs, how to prevent them, and how to treat them at home (Natural and Home Remedies).
Scabs may peel and fall of on their own when the wound is on its final natural healing stage. Some scabs may also take time to heal depending on a number of factors like;
- low immunity
- infection on the wound
- untreated underlying disease like STDs that may have caused the scabs to appear on penis or scrotum sac.
Some scabs may take too long to heal and may really cause a lot of worries. It is therefore to seek the advice of a healthcare provider.
Causes of Scab on penis, Foreskin and the balls sac
The foreskin is one of the most sensitive part of a man's skin. It is tender and usually very soft. This, therefore, means that it is very easy for the foreskin to break due to factors like friction. Other cases like zipper bites and rough sexual intercourse can also cause the foreskin to break easily, creating wound that may cause a scab on penis shaft.
Healing of wounds and clearing of scabs on the foreskin and the glans may also take a bit longer due to the fact that the two areas are constantly moisturized by urine. It is imperative, therefore, that you visit a specialist to ascertain the actual cause and offer the right treatment in case you are not sure about what might be causing the scabs to appear on your penis.
Some of the common causes are discussed below including STD bumps that can cause a scab on penis:
1. Genital Herpes
Genital herpes (HSV2) is a sexually transmitted infection. The Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) causes Genital herpes which can be classified under infections that are extremely contagious. The disease is spread by way of having sexual contact with infected persons. Some of the common symptoms of a genital herpes infection include:
- Blisters will form on the penis and the areas surrounding it and they will be itchy.
- The blisters will break open and discharge a foul-smelling fluid.
- The fluid that is discharged will dry over time and form scabs.
- Fever and other symptoms that may look like a cold.
Herpes has no cure but can be controlled using anti-retroviral therapy.
2. Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea, also known as as 'the clap,' is caused by the Neisseria Gonorrhoeae bacterium. This bacterium is a sexually transmitted disease. Apart from affecting the reproductive system, the disease also affects the mouth, rectum, and the throat. The main symptoms of gonorrhea infection on the penis are:
- Swollen, itchy, and painful testicles.
- A burning sensation when passing urine.
- Smelly pus-like discharge from the penis.
- Bumps will appear on the penis shaft, penis head, the foreskin, and surrounding areas.
The sores that are caused by the bursting of the bumps will begin to dry up during the healing process, leaving visible scabs.
3. Chlamydial Urethritis
Chlamydial Urethritis (also known as Chlamydia) is an infection that occurs in the urethra. The condition causes the penis to discharge that may crust at the tip of the penis to form a scab.
4. Genital warts
Genital warts are skin protrusions or growths caused by a virus known as the Human Papilloma Virus. This is a sexually transmitted disease in most cases. When punctured, warts can bleed and dry up to form a scab on penis shaft, the glans, and the foreskin.
5. Scab on penis caused by Pubic lice
Pubic lice parasites that look like insects. They attach themselves to warm moist skin especially on the genital areas. They attach themselves in the same manner as ticks would on cattle. Pubic lice can be spread through sex, sharing clothing, and other personal effects like towels
The lice can cause itching which may lead to scratching. The constant scratching can cause wounds or sores to occur on the delicate penile skin. In the process of healing, crusts will form causing scabs a scab on penis or scabs on the scrotum sac.
The condition can simply be cleared by washing the affected areas using shampoo. In some instances, the lice may refuse to go away and options like Lindane and Malathion may be used.
Crabs are harmless and they are usually easy to remove.
Public lice symptoms are mainly intense itching and scabs on the affected areas. Scabs are easy to get and easy to get off as they are spread through contact.
6. Penile Yeast Infection
Yeast infection normally popular among women compared to men. Penile yeast infection is best described as an caused by the Candida fungus. If the condition is not treated well, it can lead to a variety of discomforting symptoms that include itchiness and a burning sensation.
Yeast infection causes a rash that can oftentimes go away on its own. It is during the healing process of the penile yeast infection that you can get scabs on your penis, penis head, and on the foreskin. Having a foreskin (the state of not having been circumcised) can increase the risks and chances of contracting a yeast infection for men.
The infection can also be spread by way of engaging in unprotected sex with an infected partner. Poor genital hygiene can also cause the yeast infection to develop. Open wound on penile shaft or foreskin can also be caused by yeast infection bumps on penis. When those bumps are healing, they will cause a scab on penis.
You may get rid of penile yeast infection using topical antifungal creams. Oral antifungal prescriptions may be given when you have yeast infection in the mouth and lips.
7. Syphilis
Syphilis is caused by a bacterium refered to as the Treponema Pallidum. This infection is transmitted sexually and is also known to be highly contagious.
The symptoms of syphilis are varied according to the four stages that the disease has (primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary stages).
The common symptoms are skin lesions that are not itchy and also exhibit no pain. The ulcers can occur anywhere on the body including on the penis shaft, the glans, and the foreskin and they may have scabs on them.
8. Psoriasis
Having an overactive immune system leads to this chronic skin condition. It causes an inflammation of the skin and results in the development of thick red or white patches as well as causing the skin to start peeling off (scaling) too.
The symptoms can be observed in many parts of the body and are also known to leave scabs on the penile shaft and the foreskin too.
This condition is common in people suffering from diabetes. It can also be seen in people with obesity and people with heart-related complications. Psoriasis can be inherited and it has no cure. The symptoms can be treated though.
9. Balanitis
This condition is most common in uncircumcised males. The condition causes an irritation of the foreskin which is its most prevalent area of infection.This condition can be treated with ease if it is diagnosed while still in its early stages.
It is most common in uncircumcised people with poor personal and genital hygiene.
The use of harsh soaps that irritate the skin is also known to trigger balanitis.
Balanitis infection has the following symptoms:
- Redness and swelling of bumps.
- Itching that can range from mild to severe.
- Abnormal discharge with a foul smell.
10. Eczema on Penis
The common type of penile eczema is the penile atopic dermatitis which in most cases is an allergic reaction of the foreskin or the penis shaft to foreign chemicals or infections.
This, therefore, means that if the condition occurs on the penis shaft and the foreskin, it can lead to scabs forming on the penis due to the irritating itchy eczema rash on penis.
The exact cause of eczema is not known but is believed to be an overactive immune system which can also be defined as an allergy to a certain stimulus. Eczema can also cause a sore red dry skin on penis shaft, head, foreskin or the scrotum sac.
This condition can cause an itch on the skin. Due to activities like scratching, the affected skin can get extremely dry and start to break. The breaking of the skin will lead to the development of open sores. Scabs will develop on the healing sores.
11. Fordyce Spots
Fordyce spots normally occur naturally on the skin. However, they can grow with time to form some tiny bumps on the skin. These spots come about due to hormonal imbalances and are a very natural occurrence.
This, therefore, means that Fordyce spots are no cause for alarm since they do not signify any infection or disease. They only occur due to secretion of excess fats under the skin which in turn, block the hair follicles and then they push upwards to form bumps. When cleared by any means, the bumps leave behind healing scars that may crust at the top, leading to visible scab on penis.
These spots do not necessarily require treatment but can still be cleared using the following means:
- Electrodesiccation
- Pulsed dye laser.
- Micro-punch techniques.
12. Scabies
Scabies is a condition whereby a red parasitic mite attaches itself on the human body by burrowing into the skin. This causes a very intense feeling of itchiness.
The condition can be controlled using some topical application drugs that are available readily in the medical stores.
13. Rough and/or Dry Sexual Intercourse
As we had earlier stated, the foreskin is made up of very soft and sensitive tissues. Engaging in a rough and/or dry sexual intercourse can cause injuries to the penis. The injuries can be in the form of tears on the foreskin. These injuries are what lead to crusting when they begin to heal. The result will be scabs that will appear on the affected penis.
These cases can be minimized by use of lubricants, use of properly lubricated condoms, or engaging in foreplay before sex in order to psychologically be prepared for it. Foreplay helps in increasing the chances of natural lubrication by way of releasing pre-ejaculatory fluids.
14. Masturbation
Continued and addictive masturbation is known to cause tears on the foreskin. These actions can result in having scab on penis. The injuries are caused by friction caused in the process of masturbation.
There are different types of scabs that appear on the penis. These are:
Red or Brown Scabs on the Tip of the Penis
The colors of the scabs appearing on the penis and the foreskin will be dependent on their causes. Scabs that appear on the tip of the penis are mostly red or brown. Most known scabs are as a result of healing of the wounds that they cover but in this case, they might be crusting from the discharge that could be coming from the urethra.
Scabs that appear on the tip of the penis, in most cases, are usually a sign of a sexually transmitted infection. It is important to refer to a healthcare provider.
Scab on Penis that Won't Heal
They can also be referred to as chronic scabs or wounds. These kinds of scabs usually indicate some underlying medical conditions and should be a cause for concern. Such cases should be referred to the healthcare providers as early as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Dry Scab on Penis or Foreskin
Dry scabs that appear on the head of the penis are likely to be a sign of either eczema or yeast infection. Yeast infection is most prevalent in women but can easily be transferred to men through having a sexual intercourse with an infected partner. The earlier a yeast infection is detected, the better, as it is easier to get rid of at the early stages.
Tiny Scabs on penis
At times, small scabs can be seen on the penis shaft or even on the head of the penis. This could also be evident in people who have never had sex. In most of such cases, there is no point of worrying much as the scabs could be as a result of minor problems like eczema or even ingrown hair. Some of these tiny scabs might even go without being noticed due to their small sizes and might not even show any symptoms.
Spots on the Penis
Penile spots may also be caused by molluscum contagiosum. This is also referred to as water warts. This condition causes bumps to appear on the skin. These bumps normally have crater-like formations at the top. The crater-like formations may present as open sores which may cause scabbing when the healing process begins.
This condition is a viral infection and can be treated using topical antiviral drugs or even cryosurgery.
Tooth paste on pimple
Can I use toothpaste to get rid of pimple scab on penishead, shaft, balls sac or any part of the skin?
Well the answer to this question is a big NO. Never use toothpaste on your skin. In fact some patients have been reported to have made their skin pimples or bumps worse by applying toothpaste on them.
What makes people to apply toothpaste on penis for better performance or to remove spots pimples or bumps on penis is the fact that toothpaste has an ingredient known as triclosan. Triclosan is a common ingredient in products that are meant to treat acne since it kills bacteria that causes acne.
However, it is important to know that triclosan has to be made in a specific way to treat acne or pimples on the skin. In toothpaste, triclosan is just a preservative in toothpaste and it does not treat or remove scab on peniscaused by healing pimples.
How to Get Rid of Scab on Penis, Foreskin Naturally using Home Remedies
Most scabs often heal and go away by themselves over time. The mode of treatment for scabs that appear on the penis and the foreskin will be dependent on the actual causes of the scabs.
Some of the scabs appearing on the penis can be easily treated using some simple but effective remedies at home. These remedies may include the following:
1. Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is a natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial plant. Aloe Vera can help in the clearing of scabs and can be used at home. Ale Vera leaves extracts are the best to use on penile scabs removal in this case but if you don't have natural aloe Vera leaves, you may use the aloe Vera gel to get rid of scabs on scrotum sac or penile foreskin.
Steps on how to use aloe vera to help in treating the scabs:
- Clean the scab or wound with lukewarm water to soften and possibly remove the crust.
- Apply the aloe gel to the scabbed skin (you can use the gel from the freshly cut aloe leaves too).
- Allow it to stay for about 20 minutes.
- Rinse it off the aloe gel with clean, lukewarm water.
- For better results, repeat the whole procedure 2 – 3 times daily.
2. Topical antifungal creams
These can only be used to treat scabs that are as a result of fungal infections. These can be available as over-the-counter drugs. Remember, it is important to explain to your pharmacist the exact symptoms. If possible let the pharmacist examine the scabs before giving you any cream or medication. Failure to do this can only make the situation worse. Some creams can cause bad irritations to the scabs.
3. Application of petroleum jelly
Petroleum jelly is a softener. The petroleum jelly can help in preventing the scabs from drying. Dry scabs are likely to crack and bleed and this can be quite painful and discomforting. The healing process can be much faster if the scabs are intact.
4. Apple cider vinegar
This ingredient is readily available in most kitchens but many do not know of its excellent and effective properties as a remedy for skin complications. Apple cider vinegar is used to get rid ant treat several skin complications naturally at home.
This can also be used for scab on penis removal. Scabs on the penis head, penile shaft, or on the foreskin will be disinfected and heal fast naturally with the help of apple cider vinegar at home. It is rich in antibacterial and antiseptic properties.
Here is how to use apple cider vinegar to get rid of penile scabs fast at home
- Mix 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar with 4 teaspoons of water to dilute it
- Stir the mixture to mix well.
- Using a clean cotton ball, gently apply the mixture to the affected part of the penis.
- Leave it for some minutes before rinsing it off with cold water.
- Do this until the scabs begin to heal.
5. Keep moisture out
When you are treating the scab on penis at home, always make sure that you keep the area of the penis dry to avoid further infection and making the wounds chronic.
6. Wear clean and dry undergarments
It is advisable to choose undergarments that do not cause any allergic reactions with your skin. Properly dried undergarments will also give the scabs the proper conditions for healing. The undergarments should be made of soft materials like cotton which is known to be an excellent moisture absorbent. The soft nature of the material will also minimize friction and reduce the risks of peeling off the scabs from the skin.
7. Do not pick or scratch the scabs
It is important not to force open the wounds by peeling off the crusts. Doing so increases the risks of new infections as well as promoting the spread of the infections causing the scabs.
8. Warm saline compresses
Warm saline compresses help to moisten the scabs. The scabs then fall off from the skin leaving the wounds open. The salt solution helps to keep the wound sterilized and also speeds up the healing process.
This is how to go about it:
- Add 2 glasses of warm water into a basin.
- Add 2 tablespoons of kitchen salt and mix well till the salt crystals dissolve.
- You can use a clean face towel or a clean piece of cloth by dipping it in the water then placing it over the scabs and letting it stay over them for some time.
- You will need to repeat this until the wounds begin to heal.
Warm saline compresses are also known to provide relief from itchiness and may reduce the risks of scratching.

Yesterday's European Court of Justice ruling which saw 02 lose its four-year court battle with 3 following the use of its bubbles trade mark in 2004 means companies will have less control over misuse of their brand, London firm LG Lawyers has warned.
Intellectual property lawyer at the firm Georgie Collins said: "The law relating to comparative advertising has effectively been rendered toothless by the decision. Brand owners will not be able to use trade mark legislation to either prevent a comparative advertisement through an injunction or sue in respect of its use.
"There is no provision under the Misleading and Comparative Advertising Directive for a trade mark owner to bring legal proceedings in its own name.
"Brand owners now have less control over the misuse of their trade marks. So far as comparative advertisements are concerned, they will instead have to rely on the Advertising Standards Authority and Office of Fair Trading – who are the enforcing bodies under the Misleading and Comparative Advertising Directive – to take action in respect of any alleged breaches of the Directive.
"The impact of this case will be felt most by those large brand owners in the telecoms, travel and banking services industries, where competition is high and the ranges of products and services are price sensitive."

AbstractThree cases of Day/Night Band (DNB) observations of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) are explored for applications to assess the ocean environment and monitor ocean dynamics. An approach to use the ratio between the target radiance and the reference radiance was developed in order to better assess the ocean diurnal and short-term environmental changes with VIIRS DNB observations. In the La Plata River Estuary, the sediment fronts showed 20–25 km diurnal inshore-offshore movements on 13 March 2017. In the waters off the coast of Argentina in the South Atlantic, VIIRS DNB measurements provided both daytime and nighttime observations and monitoring of the algal bloom development and migration between 24 and 26 March 2016. This algal bloom generally kept the same spatial patterns, but moved nearly 20 km eastward in the three-day period. In the Yangtze River Estuary and Hangzhou Bay region along China's east coast, VIIRS DNB observations also revealed complicated coastal dynamic changes between 12 and 14 April 2017. Even though there are still some challenges and limitations for monitoring the ocean environment with VIIRS DNB observations, this study shows that satellite DNB observations can provide additional data sources for ocean observations, especially observations during the nighttime.

Recently I had a conversation with the Senior User of one of my Scrum projects, who also appeared to be a lawyer. We were talking about why my Scrum project was doing so well. I explained her why the agile way of working we used in our project, is one of the success factors. Her enthusiasm about the approach made her phrase the next question: Can we use this agile approach in development of new laws and regulations?
This blog contains post regarding of doing project the Agile way.

Management in agile projects
In Scrum there are two management roles: the Scrum Master and the Product Owner. In other methodologies the project manager role is also known. How do and can they coexist?

(Small-R) republicans stereotype Monarchists as believing common people 'can't govern themselves' – or as the rebel politician, slavemaster, and wealthy "planter" Thomas Jefferson put it, that kings are "angels in the form of men to govern us."
In truth, some monarchists in the world are still elitist snobs. But have the common people ever governed the United States? Do we today? Especially today, when they sometimes let some of us "vote," and then program the voting machines, or the counting machines, any way they wish… and if that doesn't work, threaten to cancel the election results and enthrone their own Electors… and when that doesn't work, call in chips with their partisanly-appointed, falsely-titled Supreme Court "justices."
I begin to think that there will always be "rulers," and they will usually not be "we the people." So it's more a matter of reining-in the inevitable abuses of this "ruling class," ultimately by means of a non-partisan, apolitical, unelected, unbribeable, FREE representative of the people able to tell the rulers NO when necessary. In truth, something perhaps Queen Elizabeth II hasn't done enough of – though we may never know, since her meetings with her ministers are confidential. Some see Her Majesty as the most pliant British Monarch in history, attributing it to her youth at accession, her deference to Churchill, and her femaleness. (Remember she became Queen in 1952, having been born in 1926. To put it crassly, she's a traditional old lady!)
In short, "the people's" inability to govern ourselves has less to do with our shortcomings, more to do with the machinations of the real ruling/political class.
Historically, often the British Crown was appealed to by "the people" against the depredations of the King's nobles, the people's landlords and employers. At least they could be appealed to in the name of Christian morality and charity and solidarity. America's hereditary nobility (Do you doubt me? Look at their family trees!) is unregulated, and they laugh and say, "What does morality have to do with economics?"
"Class warfare"? You bet. But I didn't start it; I just want to end it, or lessen its harm to "us the people."

Visual Effects
While some might complain that modern movies rely too heavily on effects, the fact is, whenever you see a movie trailer, or even an ad for dishwashing detergent, if it has cutting edge digital effects it will catch your eye. At this point the average viewer is so used to seeing amazing visuals that a regular shot has trouble grabbing attention.
So what are you to do if your project is on a budget?
Not to worry, Kevin Hammer Multimedia Productions offers Hollywood style digital effects at indie prices!
Do you have a shot in mind that seems unfilmable? Contact Kevin and find out what he can do for you!

On Lies
Think about the last time you spoke to somebody. Chances are, they lied to you at least once, most likely more. Lies are everywhere in society, from "harmless" white lies to big, hulking monsters like Enron. Let's face it, everybody. Lies are a part of the American lifestyle. No, let me rephrase that. Lies are the American lifestyle.
Lies permeate every single bit of the culture of this "great" country. Our politics is basically a series of lies, one after the other. Like the recent news that George W. (Dubya) Bush actually drove us $2.7 trillion more into the ditch than he let on in public. Or the all-too-familiar "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." Or the total lie that was Sarah Palin's competency. It's all there.
Of course, lying's not just for people. America's textbooks have been full of lies for, well, the entirety of American history. What's worse is, our teachers believe them.
They say it's easy to tell if a person's lying. If they hold eye contact when recalling past events, if they bite their lip or smirk at the wrong time. People either get good at discovering lies, or they are lied to for the rest of their lives and end up never going anywhere. But the thing is, you can't really tell if a book's lying to you. A book doesn't have a face, nor body language clues that we can pick up on instinctively. And thus, written propaganda can skew our perceptions of our fellow man, tell us things in order to cover up for other things that are true but rather nasty, and many other purposes. And that is why propaganda is so prevalent.
I know, I know, propaganda is only associated with Russia and dictatorships. However, that's not true. Propaganda is everywhere. It would take too long to describe each and every single kind of propaganda that exists in the print media I have scattered around my room, so let's focus on the one example I have in front of me: The American Pageant, 10th Edition by Bailey and Kennedy.
My goodness, are these guys good at their job or what? And by that, I don't mean writing US history textbooks. These men are master propagandists. They glorify US policy wherever possible, and demean and denounce everybody and everything that ever had the gall to stand in the US's way.
For example, dear reader, look at the cover of your textbook. Its title is The American Pageant. Pageant… pageant…. that's like that thing with the bikini models, right? Yeah! Like Miss America! Where are my bikini models, Pageant? Oh…. you mean it's a history text? Awww… well, maybe the book will have some pictures of bikinis in it, right?
Wrong. Instead, this book shamelessly glorifies everything to do with the US and detaches and detests "the enemy" of the period with reckless abandon. It's also unabashedly racist. And full of lies. And contradictions. And this is in the first five chapters alone. Let's take a look at page 7:
In the fateful year 1492, probably no more than 10 million Native Americans padded through the whispering, primeval forests… of North America.
Sweet. This is fine and all, except that by the year 1492, most of the Northeast tribes were farming. Not padding. They were no longer hunters, indeed, had not been for several centuries. But that's not even the good part. The good part comes on page 18:
And the native population of Mexico…shrank from more than 20 million to 2 million people in less than a century.
Wait… what? Where did 20 million people come from? Did everybody on the entire continent spontaneously make babies? And then move to Mexico? WTF?
But, personally, what I think is the best part of the Pageant's shamelessness is the way it tries to cast the white man in a good light, even when there is nothing good about what they have done. I direct you to the passage on page 18 that begins with, "Yet the invader brought more than conquest and death…" Yeah. How much more apologetic can you get? This is like a boy who smashed a priceless vase trying to kill a cockroach, and then, when berated by his mother, says, "Well, at least I got the icky cockroach."
It's pathetic and disturbing. I am ashamed to be learning anything out of this travesty of a textbook.
P.S. The madness is present throughout the book. Remember how Koenig said that if you find something stupid in the book, to email it to him? Please. Please please please do so. Maybe when he gets hundreds of dumb, racist, and just plain wrong quotes, he'll be forced to change the textbook entirely. And shut up about how awesome the Pageant is. I don't care if you're not even in Koenig's class. Do it anyway.
P.P.S. Big thanks to Lies My Teacher Told Me for getting me incensed enough to write this post. Maybe, every now and then, I'll put up something stupid from the book for everyone to laugh at. Now there's an idea…
One Response
I don't think, as far as I know, that there is any *AP US* textbook which isn't significantly flawed. Every history is biased in one way or another, and it is unreasonable to expect the teachers to change from a textbook which has done a fine job teaching to the AP test, which is all anyone really cares about, anyways.
