Remembering Borlaug
Norman Borlaug, the former CIMMYT director, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and "father of the Green Revolution", passed away on September 12th at the age of 95. A good collection of tributes to Dr. Borlaug can be found here. You can read IFPRI's statement here. And click here for a series of short video clips that allow you to hear Dr. Borlaug in his own words. For a broader and more nuanced evaluation of Borlaug's legacy, be sure and read this piece by historian Nick Cullather.
Beyond GDP
Economist and Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz has written a news article about the conclusions of the Commission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress, which he chaired. He argues against the use of GDP as a metric for societal well-being and advocates the use of indicators that account for environmental sustainability. "Just as a firm needs to measure the depreciation of its capital, so, too, our national accounts need to reflect the depletion of natural resources and the degradation of our environment." Will Wilkinson writes in defense of GDP here, while Ezra Klein points out that alternatives to GDP are plentiful, but they simply have not been popularized.
In an interesting post, economist William Easterly discusses a recent paper critiquing notions of "institutions" and "rule of law" widely used in development economics research. "What if 'institutions' are yet another item in the long list of panaceas offered by development economists that don't actually help anyone develop?"

Superintendents' Help Desk Program
The Superintendency of a school district has often been described as a "lonely" job. Many school boards expect their superintendents to possess knowledge and expertise in virtually all areas of a district's operations, an expectation that is not reasonable or practicable yet quite wide spread. With the exception of a small number of large districts, very few other districts have the resources to employ specialists in every area of need to assist the superintendents in carrying out the responsibilities of their job.
To assist our client superintendents, TSS has established a Superintendents' Help Desk program by engaging a team of active and retired superintendents that are committed to help their colleagues succeed. Whatever the questions, concerns, or ideas may be, this group of experts works with one another, if needed, to provide the highest quality professional advice and guidance. All communication and correspondence are kept strictly confidential.
These experienced and well-reputed professionals work as a part of our clients' collaborative network and an extension of their in-house expertise. The essence of the program is as follows:

Sunday morning at Dinky Dock Park in Winter Park Florida, I pulled up and took notice in the changes made after the hurricane. Not bad, but everywhere I looked I saw something different. Dinky Dock was and is still beautiful, just different. I start walking down the dock towards the sunrise, it was 720 am, right before our photo session. It was silent, mixed with quiet chirping and slight breeze. I snapped a few shots and turned around to head back. I saw Sarah, Uli and Dioji approaching me and I just knew it was going to be an amazing session. Sarah had on the cutest outfit and biggest smile. We gave each other a big hug, and then I finally met the boys; they too were ready to go on an adventure. We started off on the dock, back where I started when I had arrived. I am always drawn to this small dock and it's giant character. People that have worked with me in the past, know this. There is something about that little escape from reality. You look out and see nothing but Florida beauty.
Sarah got this session for Uli to celebrate happiness with Dioji. Dioji isn't such a young fellow anymore. He's hit big 13. I know myself it's a little difficult seeing your family member reaching those golden years. It just kind of makes you realize every moment matters. Every laugh counts. Every hug, every story, every moment made here on this day, below…and documented. And I will forever cherish these moments as well.
Sarah, Uli.. I hope you love your album preview. Stay tuned for your webpage for your complete album soon!

Elouise Roberts is an Armidale based artist. She completed a Fine Arts degree from University of Newcastle. In the year 2000 Elouise won the Maitland Art Gallery's tertiary student art prize, and in 2002 she won the New England Art Society's Champion Prize. Elouise uses a combination of painting and drawing media including charcoal, graphite, acrylic and oil paint. The themes of landscape, shadow and light are the focus of her work. She does not depict a specific place or time in her work, she seeks to evoke a particular atmosphere, memory and imagination
She uses sweeping strokes that generate movement and texture and this has become a distinctive feature across many of her works. Elouise spent much of her childhood in the Northern Territory and the trips that she made from the north to the tablelands as a child have made a lasting impression on her creative mind, consequently, the inspiration for much of her work comes from the local landscape.

Transcendental logic
Kant distinguishes between general logic and transcendental logic. The former (Aristotelian) studies the laws of thought whatever the contents. (many disputes arise from his arbitrary division).
Kant defines transcendental logic, on the other hand, as a subdivision of general logic, and distinguishes it from general logic in so far as transcendental logic does not abstract from all the contents of knowledge, but takes from transcendental aesthetics the forms of pure intuition of space and time into consideration, thus abstracting from empirical contents, whilst still accounting for pure intuitions.
Transcendental logic in Kant's (no clearer) words is:
'In the expectation that there may perhaps be conceptions which relate a priori to objects, not as pure or sensuous intuitions, but merely as acts of pure thought (which are therefore conceptions, but neither of empirical nor of aesthetical origin) – in this expectation, I say, we form to ourselves, by anticipation, the idea of a science of pure understanding and rational (Vernunfterkenntniss) cognition, by means of which we may cogitate objects entirely a priori. A science of this kind, which should determine the origin, the extent, and the objective validity of such cognitions, must be called Transcendental Logic, because it has not, like general logic, to do with the laws of understanding and reason in relation to empirical as well as pure rational cognitions without distinction, but concerns itself with these only in an a priori relation to objects.'p.66
He further divides his logic into analytic and dialectic.
Analytic is used in its etymological significance too [as in Aristotle] as what breaks something down to its costitutive elements (from analyo: to melt). Transcendental analytics will break down the essential elements of understanding. In the introduction to the transcendental analytic Kant makes an interesting remark about truth and logic. He asserts that in so far as truth consists in the accordance of a cognition to a given object, there can be no universal criterion for establishing truth and that a 'sufficient and at the same time universal test of truth cannot possibily be found'. (67) However, such criterion can be established for the form of cognition, even though 'although cognition may be perfectly accurate as to logical form, that is, not self-contradictory, it is notwithstanding quite possible that it may not stand in agreement with its object.' Thus logic can only be the negative criterion of truth, insufficient to establishing it, yet necessary to examine the coherence of information gathered around an object. Dialectic is the misapplication of logic whereby the material content of cognition has been subsumed to the formal laws of acquiring information and lost its empirical specificity.

Liz Canner's low-budget documentary takes a skeptical look at the medicalization of the difficulty many women have in achieving orgasm, and the attempt of a pharmaceutical company to create a product that would solve the problem. Canner does surprisingly candid interviews with representatives of the drug company where they become tongue-tied when asked what evidence there was that the condition is a real medical disorder. Against them, the film shows Australian health journalist Ray Moynihan and NYU psychiatrist Leonore Tiefer talk eloquently how it is normal for women to have difficulty getting to orgasm in intercourse without direct clitoral stimulation. They also show how close the links are between the pharmaceutical industry and those arguing that female sexual dysfunction is a disease. They tie their criticisms of the medicalization of women's sexual problems with the wider issues in the modern world of people taking pills for every problem, and big corporations making profits by pushing to redefine what are essentially social problems into medical problems, so that they can promise a solution for them. Yet these treatments have side effects and risks, while social approaches have fewer risks and don't locate the problem in particular individuals. So the documentary takes a very dim view of these movements to medicalize life problems. When it comes to women's orgasms, the film interviews women who leaned to be happier without medical approaches, through asserting themselves, educating themselves, changing their expectations, and talking with their partners more openly.
It's very easy to be sympathetic to the point of view of the documentary, which has humor, common sense, and righteousness on its side. These days most people feel some unease about the power of Big Pharma and it is clear that drug companies are marketing drugs for all sorts of problems that could be treated in other ways. The climax of the film is an FDA meeting where experts debate whether to approve the use of a new testosterone patch for women, Intrinsa, manufactured by Proctor and Gamble. Whatever the result of that hearing, Canner shows that the search for the "female Viagra" is going to continue so long as profits are on the horizon.

On October 14th, the Union Minister MJ Akbar sent his resignation to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) via an email because of the accusations of sexual harassment against him by a number of women journalists. The report also added that Akbar, who is a junior minister of foreign affairs, has also sought an appointment with Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj as a courtesy call. However, the final decision lies in the hand of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
On October 13 a group of journalists held a protest against the issue and expressed unity with the women colleagues who were asking for the proper execution of the prevention of sexual harassment act to make sure that there is decorum at the workplace. The Journalists who were the part of the protest also wanted an immediate action against those facing allegations of sexual misbehavior. They also insisted on the removal of MJ Akbar from the Union Council of Ministers. Akbar was on a foreign tour and returned to the National capitol on 14th October.
Reacting on the news and replying to the questions from reporters at the airport, the Minister of State for External Affairs MJ Akbar said that he would issue a statement later. On 10th October after the allegation against sexual harassment Akbar first surfaced, the opposition Congress party said that Akbar must either give a proper suitable explanation on the allegations or he should resign straight away. The party had also asked for the investigation on his behavior.
When asked about the charges against MJ Akbar from her Ministerial Colleague Sushma Swaraj that if there is an internal inquiry going on against him, she avoided answering anything on the topic.
Whereas the BJP party had not commented anything on the matter so far, but according to some party sources the accusation against Akbar are serious, and his prolongation as a minister is not sure.
Several women had complained about sexual harassment against MJ Akbar when he was a journalist and #MeToo movement has loomed on social media. Many women had confronted by discussing their squalid stories of sexual harassment by leading men in different walks of lives.

"Who is Artemis?" Part 2
Writer: Scott Lobdell
Artist: Dexter Soy
Colourist: Veronica Gandini
Cover: Nicola Scott
Trapped in Qurac, the dark Trinity is still separated and having to face each other's fall backs. Spoilers!
Artemis is forced to re-connect with an old foe and partner, while Bizzaro is practicing his skills as a hero, something he isn't well known for, and Jason is challenged by his past. Each hero is struggling to deal with their (to have it lightly put) baggage. Scott Lobdell has done a beautiful job writing these characters. Displacement is a common theme between the three, whether displaced from family or society. Even though we're still in the character development stages, the writing keeps you on the edge with every issue. I'll start with each narrative.
Artemis is on her quest to find the Bow of Ra, but she's finding herself back with her friend/foe, and Amazonian sister, Akila. I still question their relationship…I mean, they've got to be more than friends?
This queer-coding is significant and this is my interpretation so far. There is no confirmation of Artemis' sexuality yet, although Akila's love surpasses friendship; "This is about more than us." Although team members can use words to unite each other (e.i. in Trinity's series, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman say "us", but not like this), Lobdell's choice of expression is really interesting for the two.
"Artemis, my love. You have returned to me. And nothing will keep us apart ever again."
Okay, I've got to voice this, they can't be labeled as just friends. Artemis surrenders her ego in front of Akila, and thus begin their mission to stand side by side to attain the Bow of Ra.
Bizzaro's story doesn't fill up many pages, but Lobdell is brilliant with developing his character without the ability to have his thoughts and emotions studied. Bizzaro leads the citizens through Qurac smashing a pathway through the mountains. Each action is genuine and has a heroic moment. I appreciate a hero coded with learning disabilities characterized like this, as opposed to earlier versions of him.
On to Jason Todd. Red Hood has been kidnapped and imprisoned near the place of his death as Robin. Jason, I'll give three reasons why you're amazing: Bruce Wayne, Artemis, and Bizzaro. Friends ground you, and I have belief they join Jason's battle with his demons. As much as I hate my favorites suffering, I appreciate inclusion of psychosis and breakdowns. He suffers from hardcore PTSD, and it deserves attention. Honestly, a small part of my heart wanted Jason to bat the Joker with that crowbar, but shooting the Joker through the heart works. After all, using the least amount of energy is one way to take down something this evil. He isn't deserving of Jason's time and strength. Oh gosh, what a satisfying moment.
Dexter Soy's art echoes each movement. The lines on each face convey struggle to curiosity to love. Veronica Gandini's color combinations capture the locations. One can absorb the colors, the skies of Qurac feel like photos of Arabic lands, gorgeous and engulfing, and at times, hyper-realistic. It's one of the aspects why this series is one of my favorites.
I'm so excited to see them working as a team. Thus far, we haven't delved into their combined psychological and physical compatibility, but I'm certainly anticipating it. The levels of displacement and societal challenges is what I'm most intrigued by, although I am not sure if this was intentional. What I mean by this are the levels of challenging identities such as sexuality: Artemis to Akila, neurological disability: Bizzaro's character, and mental illness: Jason's PTSD. They are relatable and I've heard positive reactions from fans, and the representation had made them feel included in a world of heroes. This, the art, and the indulgence of Jason's "revenge" is why I give such a high rating. A series easily to immerse into, Red Hood and the Outlaws #10 is one to humble your collection.

February 2020 Update: We are in the process of redesigning the site!
Please enter your email address below to be notified when our new site is up.
Changes coming:
-New content
-Stocked fly boxes, including new types of flies
-Updated fly-fishing destination guides
Be sure to follow us on Instagram as well @TroutFlyFishin
To become proficient in the fly fishing basics you must learn the fly fishing tips that apply to trout whether you are on a lake or a small stream. These include observing your surroundings and knowing what trout need to survive.
Before looking at the other fly fishing tips you must slow down and take a moment to observe what is going on around you.
On one of my last steelhead trips a friend of mine asked if I saw the summer steelhead in the last pool. The truth was I walked right by them. Slowing down is hard for me, but I'm learning.
A good hat and polarized sunglasses will make it easier to see the trout. You also need to pay close attention to any bugs that may be in the water or flying around. This tells you what may be on the menu for today.
What does a trout need? Think of sitting near the food table, out of sight from the "big bully" and you are on your way to understanding the needs of a trout. Find a place that provides good access to a meal and at the same time provides protection and you've got it made (as a trout).
There are some fly fishing tips and techniques that are a main part of fly fishing basics. They are true whether you are fly fishing a lake or a stream.
Also see: Fly Fishing with Nymphs
Using Tiny Nymphs in Fly Fishing
Fishing Nymphs Using Indicators.
This book by Tom Rosenbauer is a great book on finding and catching trout when there is no hatch to match.
Yes, there are a lot of fly fishing basics to learn. There are times when you would want to "skate" a dry fly across the water. This sounds unnatural doesn't it?
Our goal here has been to get you started with the basic fly fishing tips and techniques. Master them and you are well on your way to an enjoyable day of fly fishing on the water.

Snack Review
Taste test: This small, fairly thin chocolate bar had a square shape with a butterfly design on top. I bit in to find a soft feel and a taste that was initially quite different from typical milk chocolate, though not specifically hot or sriracha-like. The sriracha kicked in soon after that, bringing a middling level of heat to the aftertaste, along with sriracha-like spices. I also noticed the promised salt during the aftertaste. The hot aftertaste didn't linger for particularly long.
Combining milk chocolate with sriracha didn't quite deliver a spot-on sriracha flavor (and the wrapper made it clear that this was officially licensed Huy Fong Sriracha), but it was an interesting mix of tastes. Pretty good.
Shop: Buy chocolate on Amazon #ad
Smell test: Good milk chocolate smell, and I think I could sense some of the sriracha kick too.
From the package: "Non GMO" ... "The original" ... "36% milk chocolate infused with Sriracha hot sauce and Himalayan pink salt"
Online store: Buy chocolate on Amazon #ad
Company: Emerald City Foods

I'm nervous about weigh-in. Yesterday I waited until so long to eat lunch (around 9 or 10:00) and then we had a party and I ate second snack and dinner all last night within a few hours of each other. Seems like a wrong choice to eat 3 meals late into the night before you weigh-in.
Okay, I just did it and didn't need to worry. Whew! Am I putting too much emphasis on the numbers on the scale? Tough! Lol. I know where my motivation comes from each day.
The first time I stood on the scale it was 250 - even. That would have been awesome because I could brag I'd lost 35 pounds. (35 pounds? Only 35 pounds? - it doesn't even sound like much now. Hope it feels like an accomplishment when I've lost 50.) As it stands, I've still only lost 34.5 pounds.
Still, it's 2 pounds down from last week and I'm still on course.
Today I have to check-in at ediets, create a new meal plan for next week, and go grocery shopping. And I need to go lift weights, sooner rather than later. Last night at the gym proved my upper belly is still protruding out against my t-shirt - ugh!
Next week I go into the 240s. This pleases me greatly.
Last Week's Exercise
saturday - lift weights
sunday - none
monday - 20 minutes yoga
tuesday - none
wednesday - a moderate-easy hike, about 40 minutes

21st November 2014
It is with sadness that we report the death of one of the oldest Old Boys of Ermysted's, Roger Smythe, at the age of 94.
Roger started at Ermysted's on 15th September 1932 in class iii c, staying until December 1936. He had previously been at Brougham Street school in Skipton 1925-32. Roger's father, Wilfred V Smythe, was responsible for introducing electricity to Skipton. The first sub station was, quite amazingly, at the original Ermysted's school building on Shortbank Road next to the Cross Keys pub. It is still a sub station to this day and bears a plaque to confirm its history. Roger recently recalled that he remembered the town and the school being lit purely by gas. After leaving school Roger joined the RAF and was a spitfire pilot in the second world war. He stayed on in the RAF after the war and became a test pilot. During his life he was also a racing driver and a fine amateur boxer, among many other things. The last entry about Roger in the Chronicles of Ermysted's, in the Autumn 1945 edition, records that he was in Canada training pilots, and that he had married a Canadian and had a young son.
Jonathan Linsley Stevens, who was at school 1969-1975, met Roger at the Bexhill Royal Air Force Association club where they were both members and developed a friendship with him. Jonathan recently got in touch with us and as a result we sent an Old Boys' Tie for Roger, who was presented with it (pictured) just a couple of weeks before his death.
Roger died in the Conquest Hospital near Hastings following complications from heart surgery, not long after celebrating his 94th birthday in the hospital. Jonathan reports that Roger's death came as quite a shock as he seemed in pretty good health for his age and had been expected to make it to 100. "I know he was very proud of being an Old Boy of Ermysted's," says Jonathan. "He had fond memories of learning to box at Ermysted's ('anything to avoid playing rugby' were his words). I am very proud to have known him and also very proud that we attended the same school albeit 32 years later in my case."
Roger's funeral will be held on December 5th at Hastings Crematorium at 3.30pm.

Getting To The Point – Experts
What Should You Know of the Driving Laws in California Each country or state has its own driving rules and regulations. If you happen to be in California, it is important to know some of their driving laws stated under Driving and Traffic Laws. The first driving law to consider is the defined "turning upon a highway" which is covered under section 22100.5 or 22101 of the Driving Laws. In this section, it is stated that while taking a right turn upon a 3-marked lanes highway, the driver should take the lane that is lawfully available to the moving traffic if he or she should take the right turn, and use the direction on the roadway the driver has entered. Second driving law that you should be aware of is the traffic laws about signals. This means you should give a signal when stopping, and this is stated under section 22109 where it stated that no driver should suddenly reduce his or her vehicle or stop it without giving the appropriate signal.
The 4 Most Unanswered Questions about Options
Another driving law relates to hand signals while driving, and this means if you want to give hand signals, you should always give it from the left side of your car. There are two hand signals that you can give, and these are hand signals for left turn wherein you should extend your hand and arm horizontally beyond the side of your automobile, and the other one is the hand signal for a right turn wherein you should extend your hand arm upward beyond the side of your car.
On Options: My Thoughts Explained
In the California driving law, another hand signal is to be used while stopping your car, and this described as using your hand and arm and extended them beyond the side of the car. Thus, if you are using your automotive brakes in a sudden manner, you need to give a sign to others on the road. Even for sudden decrease of speed, there is also a law that requires you to give the signal using your hand and arm, and extend these downward beyond the side of your vehicle. Another driving law that is specified is to stop at a scene of an accident. Note that the Californian government has defined under section 20001 that a driver has a duty to stop at the scene of an accident. Note that if you flee from the scene of crime, this is a violation law specified under section 191.5. This means that if someone would flee from the crime scene, he or she will be punished by a term of five years imprisonment in state prison. Another driving law is about section 22358.4 which specifies for drivers to slow down when near a school or a senior center.

Chronic wounds contain mixed species microbiota which can contribute to the recalcitrance of chronic wounds. The FDA's recommended method for antimicrobial wound dressing testing is the Modified AATCC Test Method 100. The method dictates testing should be carried out on three Gram positive bacteria, 3 Gram negative bacteria, 1 yeast and 1 mould. Testing should include a swatch of the finished product which should be conditioned to emulate clinical use. Dressings should also be tested over their product use-life and compared to a non-active version of the test dressing. The FDA acceptance criteria for this test method is ≥ 4 log reductions for all microorganisms tested. The aim of this study was to assess the antimicrobial activity of a nitric oxide wound dressing according to a test method modified from AATCC Method 100.
Samples of a novel, nitric oxide generating wound treatment system were prepared aseptically and inoculated with individual suspensions of three Gram positive microorganisms, three Gram negative microorganisms, 1 yeast and 1 mould. Dressings were incubated at 37°C ± 2°C for 24 hours and 48 hours. During the 48-hour experiment, the dressings were inoculated with 500 µl simulated wound fluid after 24 hours incubation in order to mimic an exuding wound. After the incubation period, dressings were placed into 10 ml neutraliser and sonicated for 5 minutes. The resulting suspension was serially diluted, plated onto appropriate agar and incubated at the optimum temperature for each microorganism.
Following 24 hours and 48 hours incubation, no viable organisms were recovered from test dressings inoculated with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli. This equated to a >6 log reduction in viable bacteria compared to the control dressing. Following 24 hours and 48 hours incubation, no viable organisms were recovered from test dressings inoculated with Candida albicans. Minimal Geotrichum candidum was recovered from dressings following incubation and equated to a >4 log reduction in viable fungi compared to the control dressing.
Discussion and Conclusions
All microorganisms tested can be found in wounds. Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are widely reported as key causal bacteria. Studies of chronic venous leg ulcers by Gjødsbol et al. (2006) reported that S. aureus and P. aeruginosa occupied 93.5% and 52.2% of ulcers, respectively. In addition, a study of 676 patients with signs of infected wounds, reported that 191 patients (28.2%) were infected with S. aureus. Chronic wounds harbouring P. aeruginosa have also been reported as larger than wounds that did not, and the presence of P. aeruginosa delayed the healing of wounds.
The novel, nitric oxide generating wound treatment system was able to minimise microbial colonisation of the dressing, kill a broad spectrum of bacteria within the dressing and provide sustained antimicrobial activity in the dressing for up to 48 hours. The dressing was able to meet the FDA criteria of a >4 log reduction within the dressing required for a product to claim anti-microbial activity. The data suggests that application of the novel, nitric oxide generating wound treatment system could potentially treat infection and could have useful clinical implications. Clinical studies are required to confirm these observations.

Another bad cartoon idea
It's been several months since I posted a bad cartoon idea, so how about another one?
Yesterday I came up with an idea while hopped up on coffee. I sketched it out and it seemed funny at the time. But when the caffeine wore off, I wasn't so sure about it. It suddenly seemed cheesy and, well, lame. So I left the sketchpad on the desk and figured I'd look at it a few hours later with a fresh eye.
At one point, my wife came upon the sketch (we share a desk in the office) and told me she didn't like it.
"It's kind of obvious humor," she said. "Also, it seems like that joke's been done before."
Crap. That's not what I wanted to hear.
I went and looked at the sketch again. I didn't laugh. (Well, I kind of chuckled at Cookie Monster's line.) The bottom line was my wife was right: the idea just wasn't very good.
Here's the sketch. Even though I'm scrapping this idea, I might use Cookie Monster's line in another cartoon.
Out of curiosity, I Googled "Elmo's Thong." Plenty of people have used this joke, including another cartoonist.
Bad cartoon ideas
For me, bad cartoon ideas fall into three categories:
1. The Obviously Bad Idea – when I immediately realize how awful it is, seconds after sketching it out.
2. The Bad Idea Disguised as a Good Idea – when I sketch something and like it a lot, but then later realize (usually after the caffeine wears off) that it's totally lame.
3. The Bad Idea That I Still Kind of Like – puns, offensive material and obvious, clichéd jokes fall into this category. These are the ideas that are essentially bad but there's something about them that I can't help but like.
The other day I sketched something that fell squarely into Category 3. Initially I thought it was funny but later I had this nagging feeling that it wasn't all that good. I was on the fence about it, so I did what I usually do when I'm in doubt about a sketch: I showed it to my wife Katrina. (Here it is, in all its crappy glory)
After reading it, Katrina looked up and locked her eyes on mine. She was silent but her eyes said "Hell no."
"So…you don't like it." I said.
"I hate jokes about women's periods. HATE them."
"But see, they're robots and she's asking—"
"I get it, but it's dumb. Sorry."
A few seconds of silence.
"You shouldn't do jokes about women's periods," she said. "Not a good idea."
I agree that, generally speaking, it's a bad idea for guys to make jokes about women's periods. But I see this more as relationship humor. You know, even robot husbands sometimes have to buy feminine products for their wives. They're just like us!
Is it funny now? No?
Damn it.
From sketch to finish
Want to see a sketch of a cartoon idea that was induced by a mind-altering substance? Read on!
One day a few weeks back, I was really tired. I was so exhausted that I resorted to drinking some 5-Hour Energy. (I try to use that stuff sparingly because it kind of scares me. It's rocket fuel. I'm pretty sure one of the ingredients is paint thinner.)
As usual, after about three sips of 5-Hour Energy I suddenly had an overwhelming urge to run around the block five times. And a few seconds later, a cartoon idea popped in my head. It seemed pretty funny, so I immediately I grabbed a piece of paper and sketched it out.
I drew this sketch in roughly 14 seconds. Even though it's shaky and rough, I like the look of the cat. In the final version, he didn't change much.
I should note this cat is based on my 21-pound cat, Simon. I'm pretty sure he drinks 5-Hour Lethargy.

Welcome to my Railways page!
What a lot of people do not know is that I have an interest in railways and trains and have done since I was a small child. I have no idea what sparked my interest in this area but it probably had something to do with watching Thomas The Tank Engine, on TV as a kid! 🙂 I like the high speeds that trains can achieve and the picturesque views that can be seen on some routes and when they are run and operated well they can be a fast way to travel from place to place.

{A live-action case filled with 5 inch floppies sits on a desk next to an old computer. The disk in the front has a handwritten label reading "Disk 4 of 12". Strong Bad's gloves reach into the shot, open the case and begin rifling through the contents.}
STRONG BAD: {singing} When I check my email,
{Strong Bad holds up a disk labeled "Old Game".}
STRONG BAD: —there are some old games.
{Strong Bad inserts the disk into a disk drive and then types on a keyboard with boxing gloves on.}
STRONG BAD: Now I'm gonna play them for you.
{The monitor comes to life, showing a screen reading "Strong Bad's Disk 4 of 12". A disk reading noise plays.}
{Gameplay footage of various vintage games begin to play. The first shows a man in a giant cotton candy machine. He gets struck by a wooden beam and his head swells and explodes.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Hello there, what's—NO! Wow! That is not what I wanted to happen!
{The game switches to a wrestling game where grayscale sumo wrestlers lie on the floor of the ring sleeping.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Aw, it's baby Strong Sad taking a nap. {imitates snoring sounds}
{Game now switches to a toilet inside a shower. The showerhead is running.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Turn this on. Spaghetti noodles that are uncooked shootin' out of there.
{Game now switches to a two-color game. A man in a swimsuit is standing at the top of a purple cliff and dives off.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover, imitating Dangeresque} Looks like I'm gonna have to cliff-dive! Whoooooaaa...
{The game switches back to the first game, where the player confronts a giant bee.}
STRONG BAD: Do you want some cotton candy, bee? {The bee stings the player, causing the player's head to swell and then disappear entirely} Nope, you want to kill me still.
{The game is now a primitive dungeon crawler where the player is holding a sword. The player leaves a room into a hallway.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} This game is about collecting crosses, and turning vermin—
{The scene cuts to another room where the player strikes mice, turning them into white mushrooms.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} —into mushrooms.
{The game is now a primitive Battleship game with three levels and a grid made of letters.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Look at that battleship! That thing's amazing!
{The game switches to an athletic obstacle course game. The player is leaping over a row of barrels and takes a dive, causing one of the barrels to fly out from the row and break.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover, singing} Full-body hoodie... whoa-ho-ho! Those are some accurate physics!
{The game is now a black screen reading "What Is Your First Name Captain? (Enter Your Name And Then Strike The Enter Key)".
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Enter your name and then STRIKE the enter key! Strike it down with extreme prejudice!
{The game now shows a screen where the player is looking into a series of bright lights as the silhouettes of doctors look down. A heart rate line blips.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover, laughing} What? That is an orange slice that's shooting out some... oil... slicks.
{The screen now does a checkerboard wipe. The game now shows a face on a monitor reading "Mayor Vincenzi" and "Hunter, We've had more reports come in of kids dying..."}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} There's like a real-life old man staring right at me!
{The text momentarily changes to "...all were horribly disfigured like my... (gulp) ...my poor daughter." before the game switches back to the dungeon crawler from before. The player walking into a river and transforms into a yellow skeleton.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Doo doo doo. Augh... wait, what?
{The screen goes black, with the text reading "Y u Drowned!"}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Why you drowned? I dunno!
{Cut back to the computer monitor, now inactive. The title screen for Strong Bad's Disk 4 of 12 returns with a beep and a disk reading sound.}

By Shounak Ghosh
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I've always wanted a pad of my own, where I'll live by myself. This pad need not to be a lone house on some hill. I'd rather choose to stay in a condo in the heart of the city from where I can see the entire city across and feel that this is my turf, here is where I battle, get scarred, make my mark, and retire in its heart at the end of the day to rest to begin another chapter of the next day. So let me give you a first person view of how it is going to look through my eyes.
Friday, it's 7pm ++ and I am returning home. I take the lift, press the number 9 on the lift's numerical pad, sweet Miss 23 is standing next to me who lives on the same floor with me, standing in yellow sweat shirt and pants, back from yoga/aerobics/jogging, with her pony tail hanging. A conversation exchange occurs and then goodnight beauty, she exits left and I right to our respective apartments. I reach down my carrying case for my keys, fingers finding the leather keychain, found 'em and here I enter my home sweet home. God said let there be light, I say "Lights Please" and there is light.
White walls wrapping me along with my house in a sweet dim light emitted from the small 4 corner stone lights from the ground. In my opinion, Ingvar Kamprad has to be the man who is the reason people's houses convert to home. A beautiful lamp stands like a lady in the middle of the pond emitting moonlight to the surroundings. I put down my keys on my table and loosen my tie, keep my carrying case on the adjacent sofa. It's raining outside, so I unfold the blinds to let the moon be seen on my wall-sized glass window. The rain pouring on my window, the moon lights brighter than the dim lights inside reflects those zigzags of the rain water flowing down my window on the wall opposite inside. I walk to my corner bar right across the living hall, where only the wall behind is different; it's a brick designed wall, giving the bar a nice distinctive look. I pour down a glass of cabernet sauvignon, red, put it on the table, pick up my remote and gently push……play.
I believe that music is the best friend for anyone who needs company in any mood. Craig David. Walking away on the 5.1 Bose surrounds. That's what I want to play on such a night, to just make me forget all my week's tensions and ease me down to just me, my glass of wine, the music, the rain, the reflections, and a sweet tiny bit of memory of Miss 23 saying goodnight. The surround sound encapsulates me in a stress free cocoon of peace and calmness.
All this I define as a PERFECT Friday evening. We all work the whole week, so we do need a time off to be with ourselves, just the person that we are, just the person to be with. Everyone has their own ways of getting stressed up, so why not mellow down, lay back and relax.
The pad explains bachelor dreams, which come after one is over the clubbing nights, boozy talks, drunken walks, and accompanied by an awesome hangover the next day.
This is what I want, after I finish the lay down time, I get up, look at the city stretching down across the land, and think, this is just how I wanted it all to be as.
"Lights out", my bed awaits me with its white sheets on it, and at least 5 pillows.
Goodnight, a sporty Saturday awaits me with my friends.

Doctrinal Studies in Galatians
Part 2
As we classify and organize the many references to Christ in this Galatian letter, omitting those that make reference to His work upon the cross for these will be considered when we examine the doctrine of the cross, there are two groups that become very evident, the first has to do with references to Christ's person; the second, with His relationship to His people.
The Person of Christ
There are several very interesting references to the person of Christ in chapter one, involving both His Deity and His humanity.
It has been stated that the Lord Jesus is both the vessel and the content of all that is divine. In Him permanently resides all the fulness of the Godhead in bodily form.
His Deity: How excellently though indirectly this truth is brought before us in verse three! God the Father possesses authority to appoint Paul an apostle; the Lord Jesus, so it states, acts with equal authority in the same appointment. God the Father is seen as the source of the blessings of grace and peace; the Lord Jesus is also manifested as the source of these same blessings. Christ, therefore, must be equal with the Father in His divine benevolence. The plan of redemption is revealed as being according to the will of God, but the Lord Jesus is shown to have acted voluntarily in that identical plan: consequently, Christ must have the right to equally exert His will, unless He otherwise wishes.
In the opening paragraph of this Epistle the Lord Jesus is seen to be equal to the Father in His authority, benevolence, and redemptive purpose.
In essence the Father is not superior to the Son, and the Son is not inferior to the Father.
His Humanity: In verse nineteen we have a family scene. There are two brothers in the family, the Lord Jesus and James. Here the Spirit of God gives us a precious and intimate picture of the humanity of our Holy Lord. Notice His delicate yet adequate language, "James the Lord's brother."
The Lord Jesus here is God in all the fulness of the divine attributes. and He is perfect man in all the virtues of unfallen humanity, impeccable humanity.
The Relationship of Christ to His Own
That fallen men, through the work of redemption, should be brought into intimate and eternal relationship to Christ, is the cause of praise and thanksgiving to God. It should also be the cause of deep exercise of heart before the Lord, and a willingness to assume spiritual responsibilities. Sometimes the relationship between Christ and His own has a bearing upon the believer's standing, sometimes upon his state.
Christ the Believer's Life: The phrase "in Christ" (1:22; 3:26-20) suggests the most intimate possible union between Christ and the believer. They are so joined that the one is seen to be in the other. The believer is in Christ (Ephesians); Christ is in the believer (Colossians). The believer is seen to be not so much joined to Christ or joined with Christ as being actually in Christ.
Since Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church, it becomes an established fact that the life of Christ must flow into every member of His Body. This relationship really is an organic union. This is the record given us by the Apostle John, "God hath given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life" (1 John 5:11-12).
Furthermore, the context of the passage in chapter three (Vs 26-27) teaches that "in Christ" we are united to every other believer in Christ, and that in Him all differences disappear. In Christ there is no racial distinction, no Jew or Gentile; no social distinction, no bond or free; no natural distinction, no male or female; all are one in Christ.
Christ the Believer's Attire: Of those who have thus been mystically united in Christ, we read that they "have put on Christ." In Christ the believer has a moral fitness for the presence of the Lord. We read of the garments of salvation (Isa. 61:10) and of the righteousness which is by faith, the righteousness that is offered to all and only upon all them that believe (Rom. 3:22). All in Christ possess this divine covering.
There is another sense in which the Lord Jesus is the attire of the Christian. In a very practical sense the believer must daily put on the Lord Jesus and make no provision for the flesh. The believer must put on Christ in order to protect himself from the atmosphere of the godless world around him.
The Christian's wardrobe is described in Colossians 3:10-14. At conversion all Christians put on Christ, the New Man (Vs. 10-11); nevertheless, the child of God is enjoined to put on every virtue that formed the moral beauty of the Lord Jesus.
Over all the items of attire listed the believer is instructed to put on the girdle of love. It is only in love that all other graces function properly.
As the believer attires himself with these virtues, he reveals Christ; Christ is manifested in his attitudes and actions.
In Instanbul (modern Constantinople) the Mosaic Mosque, in that land where there is little liberty to preach the gospel, witnesses to Christ. In the ceiling are many scenes from the life of the Lord Jesus: Christ healing the leper, Christ at Sychar's well, etc. These had been plastered over for many many years, but recently the plaster has been removed and the life of Christ displayed. May we remove from our lives every hinderance to the full display of Christ through us to the world.
Christ the Believer's Master: In the opening chapter the Apostle claims to be a servant (bondslave) of Christ (V. 10), and in the closing verses of the Epistle he says, "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." In these words he makes reference to ancient customs among the Hebrews and among the Romans.
Among the Romans it was the custom to brand-mark each slave captured in war. Paul delighted to call himself a bondslave of Jesus Christ. and here he declares that he bore the brand-marks of the Lord Jesus.
Among the Hebrews, according to Exodus 21:1-6, the perpetual bond-slave had his ear pierced at the doorpost. This picture of perpetual slavery is more suited to Paul than the preceding one, for Paul was a voluntary bondslave. Believers today never bear physical brand—marks for Christ as did Paul (2 Cor. 11:23-28), but they ought to bear moral marks which manifest their devotion to and their services for our Lord Jesus.
Christ the Believer's Legislator: The Church was never appointed as a legislative body; she must only be an administrative body, carrying out the decrees of her Lord. In the Upper Room the Lord Jesus said, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another" (John 13:34). Here in the Epistle to the Galatians we read, "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ" (6:1-2). The heathen of the ancient world had a saying, "Man is a wolf to a man whom he does not know." But concerning the early Christians they used to exclaim, "Behold, how these Christians love one another! And they love each other without knowing each other."
Christ the Believer's Form: How Paul loved his spiritual children! How he longed for their spiritual development! Said he, "My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you" (4:19).
The verb to be formed used here is an interesting one and refers more to style than to shape. The thought is not so much that Christ be poured into them and reformed in them as if they were the recepticle, but rather that Christ should become their style, their manner of doing things.
We all become familiar with another person's particular way of doing things. For example, we recognize the style of the different writers in the Bible. Then again, this word may not only mean style or manner, but condition. We sometimes speak of a person as being in excellent condition, or as being in excellent form.
These are the ideas that Paul had in his mind. He longed that the Galatians might accept Christ as theirvery way of life for surely then they would be in good form.
Lambert, a school teacher in London during the days of Henry VIII, refused to compromise his faith and was burned slowly at the stake. The intention was that he undergo as much torture as possible. When his legs and thighs were consumed to stumps, the guards, more merciful than his royal enemy, threw him directly into the flames where he soon was wholly consumed. His last words were, "None but Christ; none but Christ." This is what Paul wished for the Galatians and for us.

Financial Counseling and Financial Planning: They Go Hand-in-Hand
The difference between financial counseling and financial planning is duration and function. Financial counseling is a short or mid-term relationship between client and counselor. Financial planning is a long-term relationship between client and planner. The goal of the financial counselor is for you to become independent by helping you build new skills and attitudes to improve your day-to-day relationship with money. A financial planner is someone you depend on long-term to take care of the money you are saving and making sure it is getting the best rate of return to meet your financial goals and priorities.
Why do financial counseling and financial planning make sense? Here is an example:
Couple A is coasting along, not stressing over money decisions and their bills are getting paid on time. They keep enough money in their checking account so they don't worry about overdrawing their account and incurring overdraft fees. They seem to be living within their means. Couple B on the other hand is struggling from paycheck to paycheck which has caused a lot of stress in their relationship. They are paying extra bank fees for overdrafts and money transfers. They are also paying finance charges because they rely on credit cards to meet their monthly expenses when they run short of cash.
If couple A or B had to come up with a "ball park figure" of how much money they could save every month to contribute to an investment plan, do you think they could? Couple B is already strapped for money each month so they would probably "assume" they have nothing to save. Couple A, is comfortable now, but do they know how much money they could contribute to investment plan? Without taking a closer look at their day-to-day spending habits, like Couple B, Couple A probably does not have the clarity they need to determine exactly how much they can afford to save every month.
Whether you identify more with Couple A or B, most people can greatly benefit by meeting with a financial counselor to tweak or fine tune their day to day money habits and skills before or while they are working with a financial planner. Here are seven reasons why financial counseling and financial planning go hand-in-hand:
- You will know how much money you need to support your current lifestyle and the one you want to have in retirement.
- You will have all the personal and financial data required by a financial planner to analyze in order to customize a long-term financial plan for you.
- You will know what you can afford to consistently contribute to your investment plan.
- You will have a clearer picture on the amount of risk you can build into your portfolio depending on your immediate and future needs.
- You will be financially stable, and less likely to borrow or make withdrawals from your investment accounts and pay costly taxes and penalties.
- You will have a sense about the types of financial products you need and how much you can afford to spend on them.
- You will be more prepared once you have control over your money and clear financial goals to work effectively with the financial planner who is right for you.
When you have financial clarity, improved spending habits, identified goals and priorities and peace with your partner you will achieve your ALL of your financial goals.

An Overview of Rotator Cuff Tears
The shoulder is one of the most flexible joints in your body. It can comfortably rotate through two hundred and seventy degrees or more, depending on your level of physical fitness. Certainly, your shoulder needs this level of flexibility to perform all its functions effectively. The rotator cuff provides the flexibility needed using its four muscles that link the shoulder blade to the upper section of the arm. These four muscles, along with tendons, work together to strengthen and stabilise the shoulder joint. Essentially, a tear occurs when you rupture any muscle or tendon on the rotator cuff. Here is an overview of rotator cuff tears for more insight:
How to Detect a Torn Rotator Cuff
Torn rotator cuffs are easy to detect because your shoulder takes part in most movements of the body. For example, walking requires you to swing your hands slightly to maintain good balance and posture. As this happens, the shoulders adjust accordingly and you may feel some discomfort, pain or tingling sensations in case there of any ruptured muscles. Sharp pain or discomfort when lifting objects also indicate a torn rotator cuff. Lastly, you should look out for general loss of strength in the shoulder area.
Risk Factors for Tearing Your Rotator Cuff
The fact that shoulders are busy joints puts them at high risk of injury. Specifically, the rotator cuff is at a higher risk because it takes part in all the rotary motions of the joints. The following factors elevate the chances the tearing your rotator cuff:
- Lifting heavy weights during exercise.
- Falling on your shoulders during sports such as wrestling.
- Swinging your shoulders violently in sports such as discus.
What to Expect during Diagnosis
If you experience any of the symptoms mentioned earlier, it is advisable to seek medical attention ASAP. The doctor will examine the shoulder by pressing various sections of your shoulder gently. They will also rotate the shoulder in different directions to assess its flexibility. Moreover, the doctor can also use imaging tests to examine the inner parts of the joint. These tests include X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound.
Treating Torn Rotator Cuffs
Minor ruptures of the rotator cuff aren't such a big concern. Resting, icing and physiotherapy are enough for the joint to regenerate. On the other hand, severe tears may require injections and surgery to repair the whole tendon. A physiotherapist then follows up with rehabilitative procedures so that you can recover fully.
Get in touch with a physio clinic for more information.
