Auld Nick's eulogy spectacularly fails in bid to pour cold water on hot air ballooning ego.
By Whitta Blowhard
SUN KING Alex of Salmond is set to eclipse Ghandi and Nelson Mandela in the sainthood stakes it was claimed by scunnered heathen Unionyptians yesterday.
Clip moothed attack terrier, Auld Nick Sturgeon, attempted to reign in the fervour of the party's faithful subjects but was visibly overcome by the charisma of the anointed one's divine intervention on stage.
It had seemed like just another party conference set to celebrate the 2011 Bloodyrude victory of the forces of righteousness over the oppressive Unionyptians in the ongoing War of Devolution.
But, in front of the Telescreen cameras, Glesca witnessed the second coming in the form of the Sun King; it became a communal epiphany etched on the Nationalist consciousness for eternity.
No one was more overcome than Auld Nick herself. Struggling to remain on her feet, she spoke clearly and unwaveringly in her attempt to placate the Sun King's welcome to the humble terrain of Glesca.
In order to impart a sense of the atmosphere and general feeling of adulation, we publish a transcript of her welcoming eulogy here:
"Oh humble subjects, though I am not worthy, it gives me great pleasure to introduce the main event of our conference, the address by the Anointed One, the proclamation to conference by our Sun King, Alex of Salmond.
"Now, when I revealed our Sun King to the conference back in October I was able to announce to you that he had just been awarded the South Australia Divine Intervention Leadership award.
"Since then, the Anointed One has won the Herald Hand of God of the year award; the UK Theological Studies Association Messiah of the year award; the Spectator Magazine's Nationalistic Saviour of the year award; and the Narcissists Vanity award at the Scottish Green vanity awards.
"Now, you mere mortals thought I used to have a tough time keeping his feet on the ground didn't you? But then, after all of that, on the 27th of December last year, our Sun King was awarded the Times 2011 Murdoch Midas Touch Sun King of the Year Award.
But I think it's part of my job to bring this hot air balloon's feet back down to earth. So, I'm gonna remind him today that he's in Glesca, the grating City of Glesca. and in Glesca yer naebody until ye've won the Evening Times Cheshire Cat that got the Cream award.
Humble subjects, our Sun King is a worthy, an extremely worthy recipient of all of these awards. He has led our party to unprecedented success.
But even more importantly than that he has brought the War of Devolution to life and he has put our country's reputation on the line.
Delegates he is our righteous leader, he is Scotland's Sun King. I ask you now to welcome to the stage with rapturous applause the Sun King, Alex of Salmond.

From Palestine Information Center:
Palestinian young men on Monday evening attacked Israeli buses carrying Jewish settlers on a main road in the north of al-Khalil city [Hebron] in the occupied West Bank.
Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that young men threw Molotov cocktails at buses boarded by settlers as they were traveling on the main road near al-Arroub refugee camp in northern al-Khalil.
They added that the buses sustained some material damage during the attack, while Israeli media sources claimed it caused no vehicular damage or human injury.
This is more prominently reported in Palestinian media than in Israeli media. Because they are proud of their youths trying to burn dozens of Jews alive.
The mainstream media doesn't deign this worthy of coverage at all, of course. They want their readers to see only the cute stone-throwers, not the firebombers.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.

One issue in data mining and statistics is collecting data and manipulating it into your software. Fortunately, JMP makes this very easy.
However, once you have the data, what do you need to do? First, you need to examine what you collected and "wrangle" the data (cleaning it, for instance) and then you need to analyze it. In this blog post, we'll examine all three areas: web data collection, data wrangling, and analysis.
Recent news has focused on various aspects of immigration into the United States. So let's explore trends in immigration to the US, specifically examining the number of persons obtaining lawful permanent resident status, "Green Cards." The relevant data is available for free from the US government in the 2016 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics. The specific webpage we'll extract data from is this:
This table has two columns of information: Year and Number, as seen below. This data is personally meaningful to me since my wife was one of these persons adding to the 2014 count. Without her, the count would have been 1,016,517 in 2014.
Table 1: 2016 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics
Now that we have the target webpage to analyze, we need to get the data into JMP. For this, we can use Internet Open. This is a powerful tool, which can be found by going to File > Internet Open. From there, we see the following function (with the URL of interest already pasted). We have a few choices in how to open the webpage in JMP. For this example, we'll open the webpage as data and hope that the two columns of data are detected appropriately, which relies on the webpage developers organizing things logically. Once we have the URL pasted and select how to open the URL, we can click OK.
Internet Open dialog box in JMP
Next, JMP will search through the webpage looking for tables that possibly contain data. What JMP has detected will be displayed to us in a list form. Luckily, this webpage had only one item that JMP believed was data. We need to select the table(s) we wish to open, Table 1 here, and then click OK.
Importing Detected Tables
JMP will now create a new data table that contains the web-scraped data.
Resultant Data Table
At first glance, the data appears to have loaded effectively -- for example both variables are continuous (as we would expect), and glancing at the data shows nothing out of the ordinary. However, if we plot the data (using Graph Builder for instance), we see that we have an outlier at the year 1976.
Data wrangling reveals an outlier
Apparently, 1976 was entered as 19761. So we must consider a few possibilities:
If we return to the original webpage, we see the third option is the right answer. The extra "1" was from a footnote that got transcribed by JMP as part of the year. The footnote presents information to the reader on the fiscal year change that occurred in 1976. For the sake of this analysis, we will remove the "1" only; however, a more thorough analysis might look at whether this accidentally over-counts in adjacent years.
I should make a further point for researcher: It's relatively easy to fix this problem since we naturally understand years. However, if a similar issue existed in the immigration data, we might be not able to detect it since this varies heavily. Thus, if you're creating data tables for the internet, think of future researchers and please put your footnotes in the most intuitive columns.
For a quick analysis, we will use Fit Y by X and create various models. We can create more than just simple linear regression models in Fit Y by X, as discussed in Chapter 9 of my book Biostatistics Using JMP.
First we will fit a first order linear fit, i.e., linear regression, by selected Fit Line. This line, the red line below, is obviously not a good model for our data. Thus, we will proceed to create various higher-order polynomial fits, second through sixth order, as seen below.
Applying Various Curve Fits
Visually, we can see that the second order fit (green line) doesn't appear to model the data well either. However, the third through sixth order fits appear to be capturing some of the complexities in the raw data. To me, the sixth order fit looks the best since it doesn't have the seemingly exponential increase around the year 2017 that we see in the third and fourth order fits. While the fifth order fit looks decent at the end of the data, it has an odd start. Thus, the sixth order model looks the best out of these options.
From here, we would want to examine residuals, etc. A rough analysis by examining variance explained can also help. The following table provides a rough assessment of quality of models via R-squared and R-squared adjusted. R-squared adjusted is important since it penalizes us for adding additional variables. Overall, the assessment shows that the sixth order model explains a lot of variation. Coupling that with our visual assessment of the models, the sixth order fit appears to be the best model created using this approach.
Now this interpretation is with respect to the mean squares for a problem that has a lot of degrees of freedom allocated to error. So, the quality of any predictions from it any of these models could be low.
The next step might be to further explore the time series modeling capabilities in JMP using this data. However, this is enough for one day!
For more information on collecting data, including from the web, take a look at Chapter 2 of my book Biostatistics Using JMP. Chapter 3 of the book covers data wrangling in depth.

Smartphone-based VR headsets are all the rage, from heavy plastic units to lightweight cardboard devices. But what if you're on a budget, or need something quicker than the mailman can deliver?
The smart answer is to make your own Google Cardboard VR goggles. All you need is some card, a design, lenses, and a means to secure your phone in the goggles. Here's everything you need to know about making your own Google Cardboard VR headset.
What Is Google Cardboard?
Launched in 2014, Google Cardboard is the simplified VR headset kit from Google. It is essentially a head-mounted cardboard box, equipped with 45mm focal length lenses. Also included are hook-and-loop fastenings for securing your phone, a magnet, and a rubber band. Compatible with Android and iOS devices, Google Cardboard also includes an NFC tag, for fast launching of VR apps.
Since its launch, many competitors have unveiled their own takes on Google Cardboard. Smartphone-based VR has become so popular, meanwhile, that plastic headsets have become widely available. Some are even cheaper than Google Cardboard.
Google Cardboard VR headset
Google Cardboard VR headset
Buy Now On Amazon $15.00
You can buy an official Google Cardboard VR headset online—it's inexpensive, as you can see—but building your own is simple and relatively quick.
What Type of Cardboard Works Best?
Different thicknesses of card and cardboard are available. But which is best for building a DIY Google Cardboard headset?
In part, it depends on the design. If you find a template that requires only thick card, you'll find this adequate. However, other designs rely on thicker cardboard, the type that Amazon might send goods in.
The weight of your phone will also affect the type of card you use for your Google Cardboard project. You'll probably find that the best results can be enjoyed through trial and error.
Cardboard is sturdy enough, but long-term isn't durable. Storing the box on a shelf is a smart idea; the back of a drawer or wardrobe, less so. If there's a chance it can be damaged easily, maybe opt for wood instead.
Google Cardboard VR Template
Before you get started, you'll need a template. This is a simple downloadable PDF from Google that you can print out, either directly onto card, or onto paper. (If the latter, affix the design to your cardboard then cut around the template.)
While several templates are available, they're all pretty much identical. The official template is intended to work with standard Android handsets as well as iPhones.
Download: Google Cardboard VR template
Note that although the template is rigid, your headset can look as cool (or drab) as you like. Before constructing the headset, you might take the time to consider some decorative enhancements. Paint, stickers, or simply permanent markers can pimp your Google Cardboard headset considerably.
Where to Get Google Cardboard Lenses
Whatever material you choose for constructing your Google Cardboard headset, you will need lenses. While not particularly costly, lenses are the most expensive single component of a Google Cardboard kit.
You have two options: 1) buy a pair of Google Cardboard-compatible lenses or 2) make your own compatible lenses.
Google Cardboard lenses
Google Cardboard lenses
Buy Now On Amazon $6.69
These lenses are 34mm diameter with a 45mm focal length, which makes them ideal for Google Cardboard projects. But if buying lenses is too expensive or not fast enough for your needs, you could make your own.
No, really!
All you'll need is a plastic bottle, scissors, glue, a syringe, and some water. Check this video for details:
As you can see, it is surprisingly simple to make your own lenses. However, it would be advisable to rely on these short-term only. Plastic scratches easily and leaks can occur. If you can use professionally manufactured lenses, you'll enjoy a far superior Google Cardboard VR experience.
Whatever method you use to source your lenses, when they're ready, it's time to build your Google Cardboard VR headset.
DIY Google Cardboard VR Tutorials
Whether you're confident with the basic template or you just want to see how it all goes together, it's worth checking how other people are building their Google Cardboard projects.
These three Google Cardboard alternatives should help you get started.
1. Make VR Cardboard Easy
This video demonstrates how to create a VR headset using a couple of strips of cardboard. There is no template involved, but plenty of detail so keep a note of the measurements as they're displayed!
Also required for this build: parcel packing tape, scissors, craft knife, glue, hook-and-loop fastener.
2. Turn an iPhone Box Into a VR Headset
Why bother making a Google Cardboard headset from scrap cardboard when you already have a smartphone-sized box at home? Whether you own an iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, or whatever, the box your handset shipped in can be adapted.
While it might hit your device's resell value, swift application of a craft knife can effortlessly turn your phone's box into a VR headset. Just had a strap to secure it to your head and enjoy!
3. FoloVR Compact DIY VR Headset
Finally, check this compact VR headset based on Google Cardboard.
Things are a little different here. Rather than the head-mounted approach, this project requires you to hold the goggles, binocular style. Unlike other projects (and Google Cardboard itself), the FoloVR project is foldable, and small enough to fit in your pocket.
The downside of FoloVR, however, is that your phone is secured only by a pair of elastic bands. If this sounds too unsafe for your needs, you might prefer to skip it.
Enjoy VR Games and Movies With a DIY Google Cardboard Headset
By now, you should have built your DIY VR headset, or be about to. We've shown you how Google Cardboard works, what components you'll need, and even how to make your own lenses.
While thicker cardboard is sturdier, you may prefer to adapt your project and construct it from wood. Use the designs we've shared; it's totally your choice.
With your DIY Google Cardboard headset complete, you'll be ready to enjoy the best Google Cardboard VR apps and games.

Activities Day 2018
Friday's top house/activities day has highlighted that Papanui PRIDE and our competitive spirit is alive and well. Students participated in five of six activities; Top team competition, a quiz, the balloon drop challenge, swissball/volleyball, the Road Safety truck (Year 10) and Haka (Year 9). This year we were fortunate to have for the first time, the Sport Canterbury Top Team Challenge, making up two of the rotations, eight form classes at a time competed in tabloid style events, including some involving water.
Again we had a visit from the Road Safety Truck (https://www.roadsafetytruck.co.nz/). This was an opportunity for Year 10 students to put their competitive natures aside and to learn about how to stay safe on the road as a pedestrian or cyclist when large trucks are around. This year the truck was joined by the Proactive Drive - Youth driver education car (http://www.proactivedrive.org.nz/) which provided the students with advice around what to consider when starting to drive for the first time. This year's Year 9 students will have an opportunity to take part in this activity next year. The truck and car were provided free of charge, and we are very grateful that we could provide our students with access to such an important and interesting resource.
We are also grateful to the large number of peer support students that made themselves available to help supervise and run the activities, despite already spending two full days at school training. Without these students, and the large number of staff that got involved, we would not have been able to run the day.

Discussion in '2017 Saltwater Fishing Reports' started by SFBC, Jan 1, 2017.
Post your 2017 fishing reports here!
where are the best areas to fish for winter springs around sooke....usual places, similar to summer? Just new to the winter fishing here.
Sherm, Try the Spoke Bluffs, Trailer Park, or Whirl Bay. Bounce the bottom. See you out there if the weather ever settles down.
straight out front in at least 120ft of water, right on the bottom.
What the other guys said. You have to be down on the bottom anywhere between 110-160 feet deep. Glow hootchies and squirts work quite well.
However, in the past three years the winter fishing has been very patchy. When I started here 7 years ago I could get a couple in the 7-10lb range most times out. More recently I have been blanked three times out of four. Admittedly I have only been out once this winter (blanked again!) but the word is there are lots of smaller fish in the 5-7lb range around now. I will give it another go myself just as soon as these sub-zero temps go away.!
P.S. Lots of information in the archived folders of past year's posts. Take a scroll through those.
Less shakers around, most action was off the bluffs. Kept 1 for dinner. Green and glowy as usual produced best but tried some new setups just for the hell of it. Had a dinger hammer the starboard rod and ended spilling tea all over the boat jumping at that rod as it was bonkers. Played it for a couple mins as it was taking line steady then she went slack and reeled like hell trying to catch up. Thought maybe I had a hali on and it just spat the hook but turns out the line broke right down at the knot of my hootchie. I don't think these winters would chew through 40lb mono that easy. Dogfish maybe? Whatever it was, it felt like summer fishing again .
Similar, thing happened to me one winter about 5 years ago which I posted about. Big strike, the object the other end just kept taking line, going down and away and me hauling back resulted in leader parting. Hali? Seal? dunno what it was but it was not a regular winter that is for sure!!
It wasn't a dogfish. that's for sure.
either a shaker grabbed by a seal, or a nice Spring.
p.s. not my usual thread, no intrusion intended
I have caught many a hali winter fishing in Sooke. Could exain your freight train!
A few years back I was way off Sooke in about 500 feet of water and my downrigger weight caught on something and there was no retrieving it. I decided it must have got hooked up on a submerged commercial net. Couldn't think of anything else.
3rd Annual trip is booked for August!! Hopefully the fishing is a bit better then last season, love Sooke!! But first doing our annual July trip in Winter Harbour. Last year was some tough fishing, let's hope some numbers move in this year!! Good luck out there everyone and stay safe!!!
We are also looking forward to our annual sooke trip. Will be heading over probably August long weekend or maybe the weekend after.
Will be there for big floods in Aug again. Didn't make it out last year took a break. This will be year 12 for us I believe. Son and daughter inlaw and grandkids are planning to come out this year, looking forward to that, it's been quite a few years since my son has been out and the daughter inlaw has never been so they should enjoy it. Grandkids will enjoy it but they are a little young to appreciate it yet, 6 and 4 but hopefully they will come out in the boat a couple mornings. I am hopeing to be out for a full 2 weeks this summer, hopefully I can get away from work that long.
Out again this morning off the bluffs. Kept two 5 pounders, couldn't find their big brothers. Lots in that "just legal" to 3-4 inches over range. No shakers, a couple baby lings. Rolled some larger hardware today, AP herring spoon and a 3.5 green g-force. The AP did the best, up about 15' off bottom, kept the other rod loaded up with glow right in the mud.
Fished from 8:00am until 3:00pm today. First trip out for almost two months!
Started in harbour mouth/bluffs area in 120' of water with usual glo hootchies and spoons and also tried small herring in tiny teaser heads. Very slow in the morning and only managed to release one below legal fish, and shakers. Finally kept a small just legal hatchery fish on a glo squirt and then it was back to shakers. So annoying those guys because you cannot tell they are there.
So I upped the ante and put on a big 6'' herring in a chartreuse herring teaser and dropped it to 150' on the rigger in about 145' of water. Nothing for 40 minutes and then finally around noon got a big hit on that, and after a really good fight, managed to boat a beauty 13lb fish. A personal best for mid-winter fish.
Nothing more for a couple of hours then around 2:00pm it seemed to come on a bit and we lost a reasonable one at the boat, missed another hit and then got a 5lb'der into the boat. All hits came on the big herring.
Gutting the 13lb fish we found the biggest herring I have ever seen inside a fish. Had to be 10'' and was almost unmarked. Clearly the fish were feeding on big herring today and using big herring for bait had the added benefit of avoiding those damn shakers. LOL
Good report Englishman. I too have noticed the fish are eating larger herring at the moment. We were out from 830-1 mainly off the bluffs from 105'-130' and couldn't muster anything decent. Maybe try it again tomorrow with something new larger.
Out from 8-12 off Sooke. 4" green glow one side, large anchovie other side. Spoon had all the action, not a sniff at the anchovie. Swapped out for a 3" G Force on that side as my buddy was getting jealous. Tipping point was when I pulled out the hook sharpener I think. We got 3 into the boat in about 20min right around tide change then had to move around a bit to find our last one. A lot shallower than I thought they'd be. Only thing in their stomachs were a needlefish and some shrimp.
First trip of the year. Out of pedder 8-2 with 13 winters to the boat all 4-6lbs. Anything spoon with green and glow seemed to work, AP, killer or skinny G . Only thing to ruin the day was someone cleaned our crab traps out for us....
Was out there sun/Monday both crab traps cleaned out as well . Spent the day in the bay . Saw a few boats near my traps . Dropped them at 7am came back to them at 4pm everything stripped even my bait boxes I zap strap my doors .Was pissed off...!! Leave a honest hardworking guys stuff alone just wanted some crab for the fmily. On the plus side great day catching small winters all day G spoons( outfitter) green and white squirts did the trick
You should try AP needle fish spoon Fireball they work great!

Yoga is such a unique practice that can vary day-to-day. Even if you go to the same yoga class regularly, you'll notice that most teachers will alter what they share with students. There's an infinite amount of yoga poses and sequences to choose from. We give you a few yoga poses that you may want to add to your daily practice.
*Please note, not all of these poses are suitable for everyone. If you have any medical conditions please consult a medical doctor and a knowledgeable yoga teacher before you begin.
#1: Balasana (AKA Child's Pose)
Why? It's ability to feel grounding and nurturing makes it one of the most ideal yoga poses to practice daily! Whether you've had a busy day, or feel emotionally taxed, child's pose is for YOU. It's also great if you're looking to gently stretch your hips, thighs and ankles.
#2: Adho Mukha Svanasana (AKA Downward Facing Dog)
Why? It calms the brain and helps to relieve stress but also has many physical benefits. Down dog is one of the yoga poses that strengthens hands, wrists and legs but also releases shoulders, hamstrings, and calves while reducing compression in the spine.
#3: Uttanasana (AKA Forward Fold)
Why? Forward fold will help release your hamstrings while relaxing your spine. It's a great way to release tension in your neck and feel the full benefits of a gentle inversion! It can also help relieve anxiety and fatigue.
#4: Savasana (AKA corpse pose)
Why? It really is the most important pose of your practice! If you choose one pose today, let it be this one. It can also be the most challenging part of the practice! The benefits are numerous: physically lowering heart rate, blood pressure and reducing the stress response to achieve balance for the nervous system but it also affects us mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Set a timer on your phone, and give yourself the relaxation you deserve.
Tell us what poses YOU love to practice everyday!

Culture Trip stands with
Black Lives Matter
Sofia is a very green capital, full of huge parks and tiny green spaces that invite nature to thrive throughout the city. You may have already strolled along the paths of the Borisova gradina (the huge park in the city center) or Yuzhen Park (South park), but there are other small parks that will tickle your fancy, like Doctor's Garden (right behind the National Library) and Zaimov Park, just a five minute walk away. These two parks host festivals, live concerts and special events on summer nights. During the days, they are a shady refuge from the heat, complete with ice cream and coffee vendors and perfect sitting areas for enjoying conversation.
Take the subway to Business Park Station, then walk a bit to one of the most beautiful concrete Communist-era monuments: The Bells Park (Kambanite). Built in the 1980s, the park's bells hail from many countries around the world. Take a few minutes to look for your country's bell and even ring it. There's also a picnic area nearby to spend some time outside.
Dragalevtsi is an outlying district outside Sofia that has a village atmosphere. It is worth a visit for many reasons, especially if you are into hiking. This is where many of the Vitosha Mountain trails start, and it's where two lifts are located that take hikers closer to Cherni Vrah peak. Hidden in the forest, just a short hike from Dragalevtsi, is the Dragalevtsi Monastery. This religious complex is nearly 700 years old and it is still active today with several nuns charged with taking care of it.
Cherni Vrah is the highest peak on Vitosha Mountain – the mountain you see from almost every vantage point in Sofia. Hiking to the top makes for one of the best day trips from the capital because it is reachable via public transportation. Be sure to grab a mountain map; Vitosha is quite dangerous, so don't venture without a map. Take the chair lift to the base of Cherni Vrah and then start your hike from there. The hike takes about two hours without a significant altitude climb. There is a tea house at the top where you can order a beverage like coffee or beer and even enjoy a light lunch.
This boutique restaurant will make you feel as if you have been dropped in the middle of a fairy tale. The cozy, yet eccentric interior turns on the imagination, as old dolls, ladders, trinkets and bicycles hanging from walls surround you. The menu contains a variety of mouth-watering meat and veggie dishes inspired by local cuisine. There's a lunch menu available throughout the week as well.

West Ham vs Manchester United. West Ham will compete with Manchester United on Saturday, in which we have West Ham on one side, after a bad start, after winning against Everton, they have achieved a draw against the fast-paced team Chelsea. On the other hand, we have Manchester United, who are continuously tasting defeat in every match.
After Ham's draw with Chelsea, Manuel Pellegrini said: "It was a close match and we had two clear occasions to score, and they had only one. But if it was fully seen then it was a good match."
In the meantime, after losing his Carbao Cup against Derby, manager Jose Mourinho said, "We did not score at the time when we could. Our game was good in the first half of the match and the time we could score the goal."
"Now we are not worried about Carbao Cup. This is a small competition in which we are involved. We want to win," Mourinho added.
Although Morinho is hoping that his main player will take this opportunity, stars such as Lukaku and Sanchez have not performed this season at their level.
Chile's star player Alexis Sánchez has not been able to dominate in Old Trafford and is feeling threatened by Anthony Martial who demonstrated an exciting game against Derby.
Sanchez is expected to retain his place in the match this week, but Mourinho can bring another player to a creative game.
Bad news for Manchester United remains same because Marko Arnautovic is likely to return to his knee injury, who, against Chelsea last week, was sent out of the Carbao Cup competition.
Manuel Pelegrini is hoping that his star player Arnautovic continues his good form as it is the top scorer for the 29-year-old West Ham.
West Ham vs Manchester United: Expected squads;
West Ham:
Fabianski, Masuaku, Diop, Balbuena, Zabaleta, Rice, Anderson, Obiang, Noble, Yarmolenko, Arnautovic
Manchester United:
De Gea, Shaw, Lindelof, Smalling, Valencia, Fred, Lingard, Fellaini, Sanchez, Martial, Lukaku

Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, is a type of sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis during sexual activity. ED can have psychological consequences as it can be tied to relationship difficulties and self-image.
A physical cause can be identified in about 80% of cases. These include cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, neurological problems such as following prostatectomy, hypogonadism, and drug side effects. Psychological impotence is where erection or penetration fails due to thoughts or feelings; this is somewhat less frequent, in the order of about 10% of cases. In psychological impotence, there is a strong response to placebo treatment. The term erectile dysfunction is not used for other disorders of erection, such as priapism.
Treatment involves addressing the underlying causes, lifestyle modifications, and addressing psychosocial issues. In many cases, a trial of pharmacological therapy with a PDE5 inhibitor, such as sildenafil, can be attempted. In some cases, treatment can involve inserting prostaglandin pellets into the urethra, injecting smooth muscle relaxants and vasodilators into the penis, a penile prosthesis, a penis pump, or vascular reconstructive surgery. It is the most common sexual problem in men.
Signs and symptoms
ED is characterized by the regular or repeated inability to achieve or maintain an erection of sufficient rigidity to accomplish sexual activity. It is defined as the "persistent or recurrent inability to achieve and maintain a penile erection of sufficient rigidity to permit satisfactory sexual activity for at least 3 months."
Psychological impact
ED often has an impact on the emotional well-being of both men and their partners. Many men do not seek treatment due to feelings of embarrassment. About 75% of diagnosed cases of ED go untreated.
Causes of or contributors to ED include the following:
- Prescription drugs (e.g., SSRIs, beta blockers, alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonists, thiazides, hormone modulators, and 5α-reductase inhibitors)
- Neurogenic disorders (e.g., diabetic neuropathy, temporal lobe epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy)
- Cavernosal disorders (e.g., Peyronie's disease)
- Hyperprolactinemia (e.g., due to a prolactinoma)
- Psychological causes: performance anxiety, stress, and mental disorders
- Surgery (e.g., radical prostatectomy)
- Aging: It is four times more common in men aged in their 60s than those in their 40s.
- Kidney failure
- Lifestyle habits, particularly smoking, which is a key risk factor for ED as it promotes arterial narrowing.
Surgical intervention for a number of conditions may remove anatomical structures necessary to erection, damage nerves, or impair blood supply. ED is a common complication of treatments for prostate cancer, including prostatectomy and destruction of the prostate by external beam radiation, although the prostate gland itself is not necessary to achieve an erection. As far as inguinal hernia surgery is concerned, in most cases, and in the absence of postoperative complications, the operative repair can lead to a recovery of the sexual life of people with preoperative sexual dysfunction, while, in most cases, it does not affect people with a preoperative normal sexual life.
ED can also be associated with bicycling due to both neurological and vascular problems due to compression. The increase risk appears to be about 1.7-fold.
Concerns that use of pornography can cause ED have little support in epidemiological studies, according to a 2015 literature review.
Penile erection is managed by two mechanisms: the reflex erection, which is achieved by directly touching the penile shaft, and the psychogenic erection, which is achieved by erotic or emotional stimuli. The former uses the peripheral nerves and the lower parts of the spinal cord, whereas the latter uses the limbic system of the brain. In both cases, an intact neural system is required for a successful and complete erection. Stimulation of the penile shaft by the nervous system leads to the secretion of nitric oxide (NO), which causes the relaxation of smooth muscles of corpora cavernosa (the main erectile tissue of penis), and subsequently penile erection. Additionally, adequate levels of testosterone (produced by the testes) and an intact pituitary gland are required for the development of a healthy erectile system. As can be understood from the mechanisms of a normal erection, impotence may develop due to hormonal deficiency, disorders of the neural system, lack of adequate penile blood supply or psychological problems. Spinal cord injury causes sexual dysfunction including ED. Restriction of blood flow can arise from impaired endothelial function due to the usual causes associated with coronary artery disease, but can also be caused by prolonged exposure to bright light.
In many cases, the diagnosis can be made based on the person's history of symptoms. In other cases, a physical examination and laboratory investigations are done to rule out more serious causes such as hypogonadism or prolactinoma.
One of the first steps is to distinguish between physiological and psychological ED. Determining whether involuntary erections are present is important in eliminating the possibility of psychogenic causes for ED. Obtaining full erections occasionally, such as nocturnal penile tumescence when asleep (that is, when the mind and psychological issues, if any, are less present), tends to suggest that the physical structures are functionally working. Similarly, performance with manual stimulation, as well as any performance anxiety or acute situational ED, may indicate a psychogenic component to ED.
Other factors leading to ED are diabetes mellitus, which is a well-known cause of neuropathy). ED is also related to generally poor physical health, poor dietary habits, obesity, and most specifically cardiovascular disease, such as coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease. Screening for cardiovascular risk factors, such as smoking, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and alcoholism is helpful.
In some particular cases, the simple search for a previously undetected groin hernia can prove useful since it can affect sexual functions in men and is relatively easily curable.
The current diagnostic and statistical manual of mental diseases (DSM-IV) has included a listing for ED.
Penile ultrasonography with doppler can be used to examine the penis in erected state. Most cases of ED of organic causes are related to changes in blood flow in the corpora cavernosa, represented by occlusive artery disease, most often of atherosclerotic origin, or due to failure of the veno-occlusive mechanism. Preceding the ultrasound examination with Doppler, the penis should be examined in B mode, in order to identify possible tumors, fibrotic plaques, calcifications, or hematomas, as well as to evaluate the appearance of the cavernous arteries, which can be tortuous or atheromatous.
Erection can be induced by injecting 10-20 µg of prostaglandin E1, with evaluations of the arterial flow every five minutes for 25-30 min (see image). The use of prostaglandin E1 is contraindicated in patients with a predisposition to priapism (e.g., those with sickle cell anemia), as well as in those with an anatomical deformity of the penis or a penile implant. Phentolamine (2 mg) is often added. Visual and tactile stimulation produces better results. Some authors recommend the use of sildenafil by mouth to replace the injectable drugs in cases of contraindications, although the efficacy of such medication is controversial.
Prior to the injection of the chosen drug, the flow pattern is monophasic, with low systolic velocities and an absence of diastolic flow. After injection, it is expected that systolic and diastolic peak velocities will increase, decreasing progressively with vein occlusion and becoming negative when the penis becomes rigid (see image below). The reference values vary across studies, ranging from > 25 cm/s to > 35 cm/s. Values above 35 cm/s indicate the absence of arterial disease, values below 25 cm/s indicate arterial insufficiency, and values of 25-35 cm/s are indeterminate because they are less specific (see image below). The data obtained should be correlated with the degree of erection observed. If the peak systolic velocities are normal, the final diastolic velocities should be evaluated, those above 5 cm/s being associated with venogenic ED.
Graphs representing the color Doppler spectrum of the flow pattern of the cavernous arteries during the erection phases. A: Single-phase flow with minimal or absent diastole when the penis is flaccid. B: Increased systolic flow and reverse diastole 25 min after injection of prostaglandin.
Longitudinal, ventral ultrasound of the penis, with pulsed mode and color Doppler. Flow of the cavernous arteries at 5, 15, and 25 min after prostaglandin injection (A, B, and C, respectively). Note that the cavernous artery flow remains below the expected levels (at least 25-35 cm/s), which indicates ED due to arterial insufficiency.
Other workup methods
- Penile nerves function
- Tests such as the bulbocavernosus reflex test are used to determine if there is sufficient nerve sensation in the penis. The physician squeezes the glans (head) of the penis, which immediately causes the anus to contract if nerve function is normal. A physician measures the latency between squeeze and contraction by observing the anal sphincter or by feeling it with a gloved finger inserted past the anus.
- Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT)
- It is normal for a man to have five to six erections during sleep, especially during rapid eye movement (REM). Their absence may indicate a problem with nerve function or blood supply in the penis. There are two methods for measuring changes in penile rigidity and circumference during nocturnal erection: snap gauge and strain gauge. A significant proportion of men who have no sexual dysfunction nonetheless do not have regular nocturnal erections.
- Penile biothesiometry
- This test uses electromagnetic vibration to evaluate sensitivity and nerve function in the glans and shaft of the penis.
- Dynamic infusion cavernosometry (DICC)
- technique in which fluid is pumped into the penis at a known rate and pressure. It gives a measurement of the vascular pressure in the corpus cavernosum during an erection.
- Corpus cavernosometry
- Cavernosography measurement of the vascular pressure in the corpus cavernosum. Saline is infused under pressure into the corpus cavernosum with a butterfly needle, and the flow rate needed to maintain an erection indicates the degree of venous leakage. The leaking veins responsible may be visualized by infusing a mixture of saline and x-ray contrast medium and performing a cavernosogram. In Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA), the images are acquired digitally.
- Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)
- This is similar to magnetic resonance imaging. Magnetic resonance angiography uses magnetic fields and radio waves to provide detailed images of the blood vessels. Doctors may inject a "contrast agent" into the person's bloodstream that causes vascular tissues to stand out against other tissues. The contrast agent provides for enhanced information regarding blood supply and vascular anomalies.
Treatment depends on the underlying cause. In general, exercise, particularly of the aerobic type, is effective for preventing ED during midlife.:6, 18–19 Counseling can be used if the underlying cause is psychological, including how to lower stress or anxiety related to sex. Medications by mouth and vacuum erection devices are first-line treatments,:20, 24 followed by injections of drugs into the penis, as well as penile implants.:25–26 Vascular reconstructive surgeries are beneficial in certain groups. Treatments, other than surgery, do not fix the underlying physiological problem, but are used as needed before sex.
The PDE5 inhibitors sildenafil (Viagra), vardenafil (Levitra) and tadalafil (Cialis) are prescription drugs which are taken by mouth.:20–21 As of 2018, sildenafil is available in the UK without a prescription. Additionally, a cream combining alprostadil with the permeation enhancer DDAIP has been approved in Canada as a first line treatment for ED. Penile injections, on the other hand, can involve one of the following medications: papaverine, phentolamine, and prostaglandin E1, also known as alprostadil. In addition to injections, there is an alprostadil suppository that can be inserted into the urethra. Once inserted, an erection can begin within 10 minutes and last up to an hour. Medications to treat ED may cause a side effect called priapism.
Men with low levels of testosterone can experience ED. Taking testosterone may help maintain an erection. Men with type 2 diabetes are twice as likely to have lower levels of testosterone, and are three times more likely to experience ED than non-diabetic men.
A vacuum erection device helps draw blood into the penis by applying negative pressure. This type of device is sometimes referred to as penis pump and may be used just prior to sexual intercourse. Several types of FDA approved vacuum therapy devices are available under prescription. When pharmacological methods fail, a purpose-designed external vacuum pump can be used to attain erection, with a separate compression ring fitted to the base of the penis to maintain it. These pumps should be distinguished from other penis pumps (supplied without compression rings) which, rather than being used for temporary treatment of impotence, are claimed to increase penis length if used frequently, or vibrate as an aid to masturbation. More drastically, inflatable or rigid penile implants may be fitted surgically.
Often, as a last resort if other treatments have failed, the most common procedure is prosthetic implants which involves the insertion of artificial rods into the penis.:26 Some sources show that vascular reconstructive surgeries are viable options for some people.
Alternative medicine
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not recommend alternative therapies to treat sexual dysfunction. Many products are advertised as "herbal viagra" or "natural" sexual enhancement products, but no clinical trials or scientific studies support the effectiveness of these products for the treatment of ED, and synthetic chemical compounds similar to sildenafil have been found as adulterants in many of these products. The FDA has warned consumers that any sexual enhancement product that claims to work as well as prescription products is likely to contain such a contaminant.
Attempts to treat ED date back well over 1,000 years. In the 8th century, men of Ancient Rome and Greece wore talismans of rooster and goat genitalia, believing these talismans would serve as an aphrodisiac and promote sexual function. In the 13th century Albertus Magnus recommended ingesting roasted wolf penis as a remedy for impotence.
During the late 16th and 17th centuries in France, male impotence was considered a crime, as well as legal grounds for a divorce. The practice, which involved inspection of the complainants by court experts, was declared obscene in 1677.
The first successful vacuum erection device, or penis pump, was developed by Vincent Marie Mondat in the early 1800s. A more advanced device, based on a bicycle pump, was developed by Geddings Osbon, a Pentecostal preacher, in the 1970s. In 1982, he received FDA approval to market the product as the ErecAid®.
John R. Brinkley initiated a boom in male impotence cures in the U.S. in the 1920s and 1930s. His radio programs recommended expensive goat gland implants and "mercurochrome" injections as the path to restored male virility, including operations by surgeon Serge Voronoff.
Modern drug therapy for ED made a significant advance in 1983, when British physiologist Giles Brindley dropped his trousers and demonstrated to a shocked Urodynamics Society audience his papaverine-induced erection. The drug Brindley injected into his penis was a non-specific vasodilator, an alpha-blocking agent, and the mechanism of action was clearly corporal smooth muscle relaxation. The effect that Brindley discovered established the fundamentals for the later development of specific, safe, and orally effective drug therapies.
The current first-line treatment for ED, the oral PDE5 inhibitor, was introduced by Pfizer in 1999.
The Latin term impotentia coeundi describes simple inability to insert the penis into the vagina; it is now mostly replaced by more precise terms, such as erectile dysfunction (ED). The study of ED within medicine is covered by andrology, a sub-field within urology. Research indicates that ED is common, and it is suggested that approximately 40% of males experience symptoms compatible with ED, at least occasionally. The condition is also on occasion called phallic impotence. Its antonym, or opposite condition, is priapism.

By KHRISNA VIRGIL
Tribune Staff Reporter
FOREIGN Affairs Minister Fred Mitchell, speaking from the Dominican Republic yesterday, said the Dominican government and its armed forces are committed to assisting the Bahamas in stopping Dominicans poaching in Bahamian waters.
Mr Mitchell said he could not say more on the subject as he has yet to brief his staff.
However, said Mr Mitchell, officials of that country have already made several strong proposals that would assist the Christie administration in protecting Bahamian waters from Dominican poachers.
"I don't want to say too much on specifically what the Dominicans proposed, but I can say that their government has made it clear that they and their armed forces are committed to helping us in this initiative. They made proposals of their own and so did we.
"Both countries are committed to stopping unregulated fishing in our waters," he said.
Mr Mitchell said the Dominican officials were well prepared and very receptive to the Bahamas government's concerns.
"They were very organised on the Dominican Republic's side and ready to address the issues that we had."
Another meeting between the Royal Bahamas Defence Force and the Dominican Republic's armed forces has been scheduled to take place in two weeks.
Mr Mitchell with Minister of National Security Dr Bernard Nottage, Minister of Financial Services Ryan Pinder and Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries V Alfred Gray, held talks with officials from the Dominican Republic's Ministry of Fisheries, Foreign Affairs, and the country's Navy.
The meetings were sparked by deep-seated concerns by Bahamian fishermen that the Dominicans were for years illegally fishing in Bahamian waters and robbing this country of potentially millions of dollars in revenue.
Last week Mr Gray told reporters that the Bahamas government would also seek to lead an aggressive campaign in the Dominican Republic to discourage fishermen from illegally poaching in Bahamian waters.
At press time, members of the delegation were already on their way back to Nassau.

When her duties place her in the path of this handsome former cop, emotions buried long ago rise to the surface and she is powerless to ignore the depth of her feelings for this young man. She knows instinctively that she has found what most people search their entire lives for.
Ignoring the risks, she invites him into her world of danger, but soon their lives collide with explosive consequence. As a result, Fallon realizes with heartbreaking despair that she can no longer hide from the painful truth. In order for Kade to live, she must destroy him.
Angels of the Knights – Blane
(Angels of the Knights #2)
Ostracized by the families they loved, Blane and Juliet find they have more in common than they thought as they battle demons both real and personal to stay together. But, will it be enough when the powerful Cesar Grant decides he wants Juliet for his own?
Book Two in the Angels of the Knights paranormal fantasy series.
My reading preference is fantasy as well and I devour in copious amounts. In my opinion, there's nothing like it! Great fantasy grants us entry into a world beyond our own that is filled with adventure, mystery and danger. How exciting to enjoy a front row seat to human struggles of epic proportions. Struggles that tug at our heartstrings and elicit real emotion.
I gravitate to fantasy with heroic elements. I like strong, confident men who never back down from a fight against evil. The kind who will not hesitate to throw himself between a woman and a fire-breathing dragon. I like strong women, too. The kind who will appreciate the offer, but is more inclined to push the man out of the way and take care of the dragon herself. 😉

Software developers spend much of their time exploring the source code of their software systems, seeking to understand how it works and to assess the implications of making a change. But many developers report occasionally becoming disoriented during this exploration, where they become "lost" and are unable to recall what they were doing and why they were looking at some program element. Becoming disoriented is frustrating, and recovering from disorientation is difficult.
Disorientiation is not unique to programming. It occurs in other fields too, some with potentially terrible consequences.
In this talk, we discuss findings from research into how and why disorientation occurs. Using the Eclipse IDE as an example, we examine how user interfaces can lead to disorientation, and discuss techniques to help keep our users oriented. These techniques are broadly applicable outside of the realm of programming. We introduce Ferret, a freely available search tool for the Eclipse IDE that is specifically designed to help keep developers oriented.
Ferret is available at https://github.com/briandealwis/ferret.
(Note to PC: I plan for this to be a similar talk to EclipseConverge, with some of the more recent developments in Ferret.)

I'm so grateful for the many changes that we have made together as a family.
I am SO THANKFUL that the Lord compelled us to obey the admonition to hold FHE 4 years ago. It first came from a talk by Sister Linda Reeves who expressed deeply and profoundly that NOTHING is more important to do in a week than Family Prayer, Scripture Study, Attend Sacrament Meeting and have Family Home Evening. Everything else after that is "extra."
I was deeply hit with the truth of what she was saying and made it my personal goal to face my fears of holding FHE and learn to do it each week. But it wasn't easy. One obstacle after another presented itself. The kids acted up or people stopped by unexpectedly, which delayed FHE, or made it so frustrating, that it became painfully difficult to try to do it again the next week.
The next issue was getting to bed at a decent time. The kids started to take advantage of FHE and were staying up later than Paul and I could handle. It was causing frustration and angst between Paul and I because the kids getting good sleep was still very important to Paul but not as important as FHE was to me. We needed to find a healthy compromise but I didn't know what to do about it until the following General Conference gave me the answers I was looking for!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
> Feasting on the word of God each day is more important than sleep, school, work, television shows, video games, or social media. ~ Elder Richard G. Scott
Elder Scott has ALWAYS had a soft place in my heart (he always reminded me of Punky Brewster's adopted Dad). I have loved this man, and the way he speaks to the people, as long as I have had the privilege to know him. So this quote was more than the answer **I** NEEDED., it was love and help from Heaven to access the courage I needed to keep standing up for and trying to work at FHE, Family scripture study and family prayer NO MATTER what obstacles we might face or how busy/how late it may get in a day.
***And with that courage and action, we were "okayed" to move to Costa Rica. ***
I still remember receiving the confirmation that we "***could*** finally move" to Costa Rica but only because we had established these principles in our home first. Now, looking back over the 3+ years we have lived in Costa Rica, and the countless FHE lessons we have shared (as well as meals with scripture study included at the end), I can see the **abundance** of learning and growth that my family has enjoyed! Truly this is priceless and something I could never have created in any other way!!
We have been ABUNDANTLY blessed, just as Sister Linda S. Reeves and Elder Richard G. Scott promised. Follow the prophet and we won't go astray!
Thanks for listening,
