Documented effects of slow breathing in the healthy human body as referenced throughout this review

Variations in respiratory parameters can occur within the normal population in the absence of respiratory diseases; however, traditional medicine has not attempted to define what may constitute optimised respiration within the normal population, and given the profound effect on vagal tone, what constitutes “autonomically optimised respiration”. Perhaps it is time to refine a breathing technique that optimises ventilation, gas exchange and arterial oxygenation, maximises vagal tone, maintains parasympathetic–sympathetic balance and optimises the amount of cardiorespiratory reserve that could be called upon in times of intense physical or mental stress or activity. According to the studies reviewed here, “autonomically optimised respiration” would appear to be in the band of 6–10 breaths per min, with an increased tidal volume that is achieved by diaphragmatic activation. Although not reviewed here, nasal breathing is also considered an important component of optimised respiration [ Preen By Thornton Bregazzi Woman Conix Asymmetric Striped Crepe Top Black Size M Preen Discount Brand New Unisex Sale 2018 5vKl5N
, 110 ]. This is easily achievable in most individuals with simple practise and there is yet to appear in the literature any documented adverse effects of respiration in the 6–10 breaths per min range. Controlled, slow breathing appears to be an effective means of maximising HRV and preserving autonomic function, both of which have been associated with decreased mortality in pathological states and longevity in the general population [ 41 , Womens 5548 Bustier Susa Discounts Cheap Price Free Shipping With Credit Card FJkTHFptia

Future research directions

Specific physiological variables have been examined primarily during short-term performance of spontaneous and controlled slow breathing in a controlled environment, while recordings during sustained practice of slow breathing are scarce. Of great scientific interest is the effect of long-term practice of slow breathing. Research could subsequently expand into whether controlled slow breathing can optimise physiological variables in pathological conditions (not limited to the respiratory system). A hierarchy of research will provide a foundation upon which any therapeutic claims can be tested and validated.

Unfortunately, he hasn't been the same standout player since signing that hefty new deal.

Liuget finished 2015 on injured reserve and failed to be a high-impact player after that. Over the past two seasons, he has produced just 58 tackles and 1.5 sacks. He missed four more games last season and was handed a four-game suspension for violation of the league's PED policy this offseason.

"I made a mistake and take full responsibility," Liuget said after the suspension was announced, per Starlight Printed Stretch Sports Bra Navy Perfect Moment Pre Order Cheap Footlocker Finishline Free Shipping New Clearance Reliable UI29t3r
of NFL.com.

The Chargers will undoubtedly be glad to get Liuget back from suspension this fall, but the reality is that he isn't the same player the team drafted in the first round or even the same one they signed to a massive extension just a few years ago.

The Los Angeles Rams boast a lot of talent along their defensive line, but one of their tackles has been more of a disappointment than a star.

The New England Patriots first selected former Florida star Dominique Easley in the first round (29th overall) of the 2014 draft. However, he spent just two seasons in New England and produced a mere 24 tackles before being released.

Easley made his way to the Rams in 2016 and had a decent season with 35 tackles and 3.5 sacks. However, he suffered a torn ACL last offseason, the third of his career. He signed a Womens 15 Den Maternity Tights Noppies Browse Cheap Online U9sIF
with L.A. in March, but he may have trouble making the final 53.

"Easley, who had 3.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 2016, is facing an uphill battle as he attempts to come back from a third serious knee injury and is in a position group that includes All-Pros Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh and veteran Michael Brockers," Sale Good Selling Womens Paloma Brief Lepel High Quality Online wegRntpO
of ESPN.com recently wrote.

If Easley can stay healthy, he'll likely continue his NFL career in 2018. However, the results to this point have been disappointing considering his status as a former first-rounder.

19 of 32

The Miami Dolphins spent the 14th overall pick of the 2015 draft on former Louisville wideout DeVante Parker. The hope was that Parker would develop into Miami's new No. 1 receiver and a legitimate difference-maker.

Unfortunately, he has been wildly inconsistent and hasn't been the type of game-breaking downfield threat his draft status would merit. While the former Cardinal has produced 1,908 yards and eight touchdowns in his three seasons, he has never reached 750 yards or five touchdowns in a single year. He was largely overshadowed by former second-round pick Jarvis Landry, who fled Miami to join the Browns this offseason.

Injuries have played a minor role in Parker's struggles, but overall, his biggest disappointments have been on the field.

"Not where I wanted to be," Parker said of his first three years in the league, per Isaac Merino Wool Sweater Salle Privée Outlet Visa Payment Deals Cheap Price Cheap Sale Limited Edition Outlet Wiki B083UfKUC1
of the Sun Sentinel . "Just simple as that."

One of the biggest rivalries in the modern aerospace industry is between Boeing and SpaceX. Despite their radically different cultures, the aerospace giant and the smaller upstart compete for many different kinds of contracts, and perhaps nowhere has the competition been more keen than for NASA funds.

In 2014, both Boeing and SpaceX received multibillion awards (Boeing asked for, and got, 50 percent more funding for the same task) to finalize development of spacecraft to carry astronauts to the International Space Station as part of the commercial crew program. Since then, both companies have been locked in a race to the launchpad, not just to free NASA from its reliance on Russia to reach space but also for the considerable esteem that will accompany becoming the first private company in the world to fly humans into orbit.

Although both Boeing and SpaceX have established various launch dates—first in 2017, and now slipped to 2018 and 2019—NASA hasn't publicly tipped its hand on which company is actually ahead in the race. Now, however, a new report from the US Government Accountability Office has provided a window into NASA's internal thinking on commercial crew launch dates.

The data is several months old, coming from an April 2018 analysis. But it's insightful all the same. The report shows when NASA believes Boeing and SpaceX will each have completed a single non-crewed test flight, a test flight with crew, and then undergo a certification process to become ready for operational flights. This is known as the "certification milestone."

Further Reading

Cheap Sale Pay With Visa Sale Comfortable Harbour Island swimsuit Heidi Klein Free Shipping Looking For Deals For Sale Shopping Online Sale Online XbUkGYZ89

Based on NASA's "schedule risk analysis" from April, the agency estimates that Boeing will reach this milestone sometime between May 1, 2019, and August 30, 2020. For SpaceX, the estimated range is August 1, 2019, and November 30, 2020.The analysis' average certification date was December, 2019, for Boeing and January, 2020, for SpaceX.

These are obviously razor-thin margins, but the new report also indicates that Boeing is ahead in submitting paperwork needed for approval of its various flight systems and processes. This is consistent with what independent sources have told Ars, that Boeing is more familiar with NASA and better positioned to comply with its complex certification processes.

I have a google map activity which displays some markers. I want to add a Navigation Drawer menu which will have some options to list the markers on the map. For example one item in the menu might be 'List all' which will draw all the markers on the map. Most examples that I have found on the internet include fragments to navigate between the menu. In my case I do not need to use any fragments to navigate between different screens but only to work on my main activity (my map activity) and display the markers. Can anybody show me how to include the Navigation Drawer in my main_layout.xml and how to implement it.

Thank you.

Intuit’s SnapTax for Android Review

Intuit’s SnapTax for Android Review

Apr 9, 2014

Doing my own taxes is my personal badge of adult responsibility. I mean, I am confronting the most difficult code since the Rosetta Stone, applying numbers to it, and BAM! It feels awesome, and I feel awesome pointing out how awesome it feels.

But tax preparation software has come along way in its quest to make folks like me awesome. Doing one’s taxes has evolved from gathering W-2s and miscellaneous receipts and driving to a tax preparation office; now, programs can be purchased to do tax work at home, and online programs are commonplace. With apps like TurboTax SnapTax from Intuit, one can prepare one’s taxes on Android smart devices. Intuit was kind enough to provide us with a code to see how the mobile app interfaces with the tax prep software.

SnapTax combines the device’s camera with OCR functionality to effect accurate collection of information; in essence, it greatly speeds up the process of tax preparation by streamlining and automating the most difficult aspect: data entry.snap1

The app itself is fairly minimalist, with mostly white accents. Upon starting the app, it prompts the user to sign in or to create an account; after signing in, there is the picture-taking utility, a section for interview questions and a preview area.

Using the photo utility is easy, at which point the software analyzes the picture of the document and imports the data into the relevant boxes. This was the best part for me; I hate dealing with income forms manually. After W-2s and 1099s have been entered, the program takes one through the briefest of interviews. Assuming all this is correct, the federal taxes can be e-filed right there from the mobile device. It’s so fast that it’s scary.

The convenience comes at a cost, though. For instance, if the app comes across forms outside basic W-2s or 1099s, it routes the user to the full TurboTax program online, the same goes if it determines that one’s tax situation is more complicated than set parameters. TurboTax online didn’t pull all the information already entered into SnapTax, and I was perplexed as to why such superb image capture functionality is not blended directly into TurboTax for users with the same login credentials.

Even with the drawbacks, I loved the program, and mostly enjoyed using it; there is plenty of room for improvement. For those with EZ prep needs, it’s pretty good, with free federal e-file ($14.99 for each state). It (along with Intuit’s other financial apps for Android) is available for free on the Play Store.

HighlightCam Social Review

HighlightCam Social Review

Feb 7, 2012

Iâ€™ll admit that the last time I did any sort of video editing it involved a television, two VHS players, a DVD player and a CD player. I have no idea how I got it to work, but it was fun and the results were amazing. Since then I have not done anything fancy with my videos or pictures, not due to lack of want, but lack of time, resources, and ability. When I heard of HighlightCam Social, I was excited to see what it could do.

HighlightCam Social allows users to select videos, pictures, music and visual effects to create movies on their phones. HighlightCam selects the best scenes from the video based on whatâ€™s desired be it people, action, voice or a balance of all three. The user can select music, colorize the video, rearrange the visual selections and set its length and quality. HighlighCam then composes a video based on user preferences.

HighlightCam really does seem to create videos based on the best scenes available. To test this I selected about five minutes of video which contained sections of silence, me making a fool of myself with random noises and my four-month old daughter laughing at me. I wanted a video montage of my daughterâ€™s laughs with none of my crazy antics or any ear piercing silence. To my amazement, HighlightCam did it. The video contains only clips of my daughter. Whatâ€™s more it only took me about five minutes to select all the video, pick visual effects, and set my options.

I have one minor and two major complaints about HighlightCam. One, it takes a very long time for the video to be created. A one minute video composition took 26 minutes to create. Not only did it take 26 minutes but the video had to be uploaded then downloaded to view which brings me to my minor complaint. Creating videos eats away at data plans. To save data I was on a wireless network, which could explain the 26 minutes.

Major complaint number two, credits. Credits cost on average $0.20 (new accounts come with 10 credits). The movies I made cost three credit each and the still picture montage cost one credit. In all a movie cost 30 minutes and $0.60 to create. Thankfully credits are refundable if the the results were undesirable (assuming the movie has not been saved to the gallery).

I am torn about HighlightCam. I am impressed with the results; I love the videos that were made. The app is easy to use, creates decent quality video and accurately selects the great clips but I am not sure itâ€™s worth the time it takes to create the movie or the continued use of the credit system. A free download and 10 free credits makes it worth trying, that’s for sure. I recommend users try it out to see if it fits their needs. Lab PRO Review Lab PRO Review

It’s been many years since “photoshop” became both a verb and a household name. It no longer really belongs to Adobe, instead it belongs to people who need a quick and simple word to describe what they’ve been doing to photos of cats. So it’s very difficult not to think of as a “photoshop app”. But then again, is it really so bad to compare the two? is but a humble offering in the vast field of photo editing apps, and yet it is very strong in its own right and can definitely hold its own compared to its predecessor.

What the developers of have done is distill a lot of the features that make other, more specific photo-editing apps popular, into one sort of general grouping of all possible edits someone could want to make. There are some funny frames, and some artists effects, the option to turn a person into a monster or an animal. But they have also given themselves free creative reign and every two weeks will produce a new photo effect that is always one level weirder/funnier than the last.

Editing the photos is wonderfully simple – the user selects an effect, and then can choose a photo from their gallery, or from a selection of previously-used photos. This is brilliant, because users don’t have to keep hunting through the menus to get back to the image they want to use. The app allows the photo to be cropped so that only the most relevant sections of it are used, and then it does all the work. It actually does a very methodical job of rendering the original image into the new setting. Each time I ran a picture through it I was impressed (or amused). And once the photos are finished there are options to save it to the phone’s gallery, or to export it in whatever manners the phone is capable of.

I applaud the ingenuity of the effects developers. Every two weeks they produce something new to entertain their audience. I do wonder how long they can keep up the stream of effects, but so far they haven’t slowed down. The editing and finals products are all quality work and I have been amusing myself with different hilarious images for days.

What I find unfortunate in the sharing aspect is that users can’t simply email a copy of the image to someone. Instead it gets hosted on’s website, and it produces a link to the webspace. It’s just a little disappointing that there is what I believe to be an unnecessary step between my friends and my hilarious photos.

Colosseum Heroes Review

Colosseum Heroes Review

Dec 19, 2011

Ordinarily, I don’t play a lot of side-scrolling fighting games because I’m simply not very good at them. But every now and then I do enjoy a challenge, and Colosseum Heroes seemed different enough to be worth a look. I’m glad I checked it out, it’s proven to be very fun. I think it’s because, skill levels aside, some days we all love hitting monsters with an axe. It’s a great way to unwind.

Colosseum Heroes stars a young, unnamed gladiator who is just fighting to stay alive in the arena. He has a grim look of determination on a boyishly young face, as he marches around the pit, fighting off the…orcs? Okay, so they decided not to go for historical accuracy with this one. The gladiator is fighting orcs and can win gold off of their corpses as he goes, and then use that gold to buy himself better weapons and armour. That’s not exactly how I remember gladiatorial combat from my history lessons, but I’ve decided that I like it. Sometimes a little humorous anachronism goes very nicely with monster-axing.

The controls are interesting, but bear in mind that right now I don’t really have much to compare it to: it is a side-scroller, and at the bottom left of the screen there are a pair of buttons for left and right, to be triggered by your thumb. At the far right are your weapons, to be triggered by the thumb of your other hand. Your little gladiator will march around as you direct him, but with only two buttons there is no option for jumping. The weapons you have are all always displayed in that field on the bottom right, and are used by tapping it in the menu. Some weapons have faster reload capability and you can button-mash them to your heart’s content, but others have a reload time that is measured by the time it takes for the weapon’s icon to reappear after triggering it. You use the gold won in battle to upgrade or purchase weapons to give you a greater chance of success in battle. You can also use your gold to buy HP potions, which is vital as you begin each new round with the HP level that you finished the last with. If you are unfortunate enough to die, then you have the option of relinquishing your hard-earned goal, or actually purchasing real credits (with real dollars) to revive without losing your gold. This means that there is a fair amount of strategy to choosing what to spend your gold on, to keep going in each level for as long as you can.

The game has a cool style going for it, but in my opinion even better than that is the alternate version that comes bundled with it – you can play as a vampire! Not as a vampire in the gladiator arena (that would be silly!), but it’s truly a different game using the same design and engine. You still kill enemies for gold, but now you are fighting werewolves and instead of axes and javelins you can now purchase crossbows and magic bats to attack enemies for you. I quickly realized that I actually prefer the vampire version a bit, and feel like this is so much more than a bonus level that I can’t believe that I didn’t have to unlock it to play. I love the thought behind it and this alone raises the game up even more in my estimation.

It’s just very unfortunate that the movement for the character is actually incredibly difficult to control. Given that your thumbs have to remain on screen at all times, it can obscure the game field quite a bit. As well they don’t always seem to react as fast as they should, and so instead of turning back to meet a foe you’ll simply stand there and get an axe in the back. As well, all of your weapons being on screen at the same time means that in the heat of battle it’s very easy to suddenly realize that you’ve switched to the dagger instead of the battle axe, and then you’ll get stabbed by an orc before you can switch back and put up a fight.

Prevent nails and other sharp items to the floor, some rough, bulky and relatively high hardness items, can not be directly on the solid wood flooring to prevent scratches. In addition, laying the pad for protection is also necessary.

Corrosive liquids, such as toilet cleaners and kitchen degreaser, can not be used to clean floors; liquids or objects that are hot can not be placed directly on the floor to avoid damaging the surface.

Internal Limbo

The Mage can create a pocket dimension whose gateway is his own body. This is a timeless space of near-infinite volume. The Mage can shape conditions within the Internal Limbo and create any environment he desires. For example, the world inside Adarn Warlock's Soul Gem is a rather pleasant park. The Mage can also control the basic attitudes and emotions of any being within this Limbo. Within the Soul Gem, to continue the example, everyone feels peace and happiness, even if they were vicious, violent people in the outside world. Conversely, a Mage might modify his particular Internal Limbo to terrify anyone he draws into it. The emotion-altering aspect of Internal Limbo functions as +6CS Emotion Control.

While the full size of anyone's Internal Limbo is difficult to measure, certain nitpicking players might want to know how much they can cram into theirs. The size of this pocket dimension is the equivalent of a cube measuring on 1 side the number of miles equal to the Power rank number. For example, a Ty(6) rank can produce a cube 6 miles on a side (216 cubic miles). The Mage can alter the shape of this cube anyway he wants. That cube could be shaped into a flat tile 14 miles square or a 10' high, 10' wide corridor that extends for 11,395 miles.

The real limit to how much the Mage can cram into his little world is the size of the Gateway that everything must pass through. The Gateway in this case is the Mage's body or rather a circle the diameter of his body. It is in a plane with the body and arms outstretched. It generally faces forward; that is, something has to be in front of the Mage in order for him to draw it in. The size of the Gateway can be decreased any amount and even pinched shut temporarily. Giant beings might limit their gateway to, say, their mouth or the palm of a hand.

A target can Resist being draw in by the Gateway by using Strength, Agility, or any Travel Power. This Power's rank determines what Intensity of Strength FEAT. A moving target requires the Mage to make an Agility FEAT to catch the target. If the Mage tries to draw in a target larger than himself, odd things can happen.
  1. he might draw in only a section of it; the rest would appear to be sticking out of his body. This could be fatal and quite messy if some factor were to suddenly negate this Power.
  2. he might be able to break off what parts of it would fit within the Gateway. This requires a Power FEAT based on the Material Strength of the target. Such broken materials are rejoined once the enter the Internal Limbo.
  3. it simply might not work. The Mage would stick the target to his chest but that's as far as it would go.
The only thing that is guaranteed to never be able to enter a Mage's Internal Limbo is the Mage's own physical body. If the Mage possesses such Powers as Energy Doppelganger, Illusory Duplication, Lifeform Creation, Free Spirit, Anatomical Separation, Self-Duplication, or Astral Body, then he can send a part or a representation of himself into his little world while the rest of himself stays in the outer world. Without such an ability, the Mage is limited to only basic awareness of conditions within the Internal Limbo. To conclude the example, Adam Warlock had no idea at all of what conditions were like within the Soul Gem until he physically died and was drawn in.

Optional Powers includes any 1 of the following: Energy Doppelganger, Illusory Duplication, Lifeform Creation, Free Spirit, Anatomical Separation, Self-Duplication, and Astral Body.

The Nemesis for this is Dimension Travel.

驾驭男人心小窍门 2018-08-04 15:00:00
第一则：心目中的英雄Personal Hero

Our granddaughter's second-grade class was asked to write about their personal heroes. Her father was flattered to find out that she had chosen him. "Why did you pick me?" he asked.

"Because I couldn't spell Arnold Schwarzenegger," she said.

“因为我不会拼阿诺得.施瓦辛格(Arnold Schwarzenegger)，“她说。

第二则：一个数学问题A Problem in Arithmetic

Bill is a good student and an intelligent boy. He likes to study arithmetic, and he can do all of the arithmetic problems in his book easily.

One day on his way to school Bill passed a fruit store. There was a sign in the window which said, "Apple-Six for five cents." An idea came to Bill and he went into the store.

"How much are the apples?" he asked the store.

"Six for five cents."

"But I don't want six apples."

"How many apples do you want?"

"It is not a question of how many apples I want. It is a problem in arithmetic."

"What do you mean by a problem in arithmetic?" asked the man.

"Well, if six apples are wroth five cents, then five apples are worth four cents, four apples are worth three cents, three apples are worth rwo cents, two apples are worth one cent and one apple is worth nothing. I only want one apple, and if one apple is worth nothing then it is not necessary for me to pay you."

Bill picked out a good apple, began to eat it, and walked happily out of the store. The man looked at the young boy with such surprise that he could not say a word.

Summer A/C Struggles?

It’s hot, y’all. Already. We all feel it, and after the barrage of spring storms, it seems that we’ve gone from one extreme to the other. As we approach triple digits, you’re relying on your air conditioner more than ever. There’s still time to reach out to our professional team for A/C maintenance, which can go a long way in ensuring you make it through the summer without issue.

As your air 32611289_lconditioning system is working hard to combat the ever-increasing temperatures, keep an eye out for indications that the A/C is struggling. You can usually feel a difference if the air conditioner is not able to keep up with the expected cooling output, but there can be more subtle signs to watch for so that you’re not waiting for a sweltering day to realize that it’s not cooling.

Signs That Your A/C is Struggling

  • Difficulty cooling – Do you keep turning down the thermostat, hoping to feel a refreshing cool, but don’t seem to feel any difference? Or is it taking hours to change a single degree? An otherwise-strongly performing system can struggle to cool when coolant levels are low, which is a simple, inexpensive fix. However, there could be other variables causing the cooling challenges, so it’s worth having it checked out by professionals.
  • Excessive noise – Whether it’s coming from the ductwork and vents, the condenser unit, or you can’t even isolate the source, unusual noises can be an indication of loose or malfunctioning components. This can lead to bigger issues if left unaddressed. Not to mention, it’s difficult to sleep through the night with all that racket.
  • Little to no airflow – First order of business: check that air filter! Can’t remember the last time you changed it? Let’s go ahead and take care of that. When the filter has been replaced and ruled out as the issue, yet you’re still feeling very little airflow coming out of the vents, this could indicate a problem with the blower. Best to have it serviced.
  • Runs constantly – As we do get slight breaks in the heat during the evening and overnight hours (at least for now), you should be able to get through a 24-hour period with the A/C turning off at least a few times. The cooled temps should hold during this time. If your unit is running 24/7 and you’re struggling to feel cool, your system may be beyond its years or simply not at an appropriate SEER rating for the size of your property. (The current minimum SEER rating is 13, so if you’re dealing with an older unit, consider an upgrade to save on both efficiency and comfort.)

If this sounds like your air conditioning system, don’t wait another moment to call our team at Arctic Air Conditioning! Reach out at (817) 834-2829 and let our certified technicians come out and take a look.

We’ll help keep you cool throughout the summer!

Local Business Spotlight: All Things Primitive

Opening next Friday, April 3rd, All Things Primitive is Around Phoenixville's most recent Local Business Spotlight. Owner Barbara Jarrett writes the following:

My little shop is called All Things Primitive. The Grand Opening is slated for April 3rd, on First Friday. We will have drawings for items from the store all weekend. We will feature Country/Primitive home decor items. I am going to be located at 26 Gay Street. My hours will be Fridays, 5-9; Saturdays, 9-5; Sundays 12-5. Some of the items we will be carrying will be Candles, Pottery, Samplers, Table Runners, Wreaths, Baskets. Generally anything that you see in the big country/primitive stores, you will see here. We will have Fall open houses and Christmas open houses. I have been dealing in primitive craft items at craft shows for the last 2 years. My entry into this business was because people were always asking if I had a website or store. My prices were always a big hit with people! If anyone in the Phoenixville area traveled to the Country Gatherings store on Route 23 and were disappointed when the owner retired, stop in to see us!

When I started looking for a place to rent, I really didn't have a location in mind, however, when I found this storefront, everyone started telling me that Phoenixville was the "happening place."

Best of luck to Barbara!

Arias shocked by declaration by £35m rated Arsenal target that he wants to leave

Sevilla sporting director Oscar Arias says he was surprised to hear that midfielder Steven N’Zonzi wants to leave the La Liga club.
The Frenchman told France Football that he expects to leave the Spanish side after falling out with manager Eduardo Berizzo and his coaching staff, but speaking to AS yesterday, Arias said the player’s unhappiness was news to him:
“The statements of N’Zonzi surprised us. They caused a big surprise. The situation is not pleasant, but I think it will get better soon. The decision to leave does not belong to him. He is a player of Sevilla and in a month I do not know if he will still be here....

Next time Kanye get out your fancy ass cell phone/laptop and blog about your fucking opinions instead of fucking up a little girl's shining moment.

Ex refuses him loan, so he robs her

Ex refuses him loan, so he robs her

SINGAPORE - When she turned him down, Oh Keng Yong, 34, became angry and decided to confront her.

He waited for her near the lift lobby at her 10th-storey Circuit Road flat. When she appeared, he snatched her handbag before fleeing.

Oh was jailed for 23 months yesterday after he admitted to two drug-related offences and using criminal force to commit theft.

The court heard that Oh consumed ecstasy in Malaysia on Nov 11, 2013, and was arrested at the Woodlands Checkpoint for suspected drug-related activities the next day.

Four tablets of the same drug were later recovered from him in an Amber Gardens apartment.

Oh was released on bail, but continued committing more offences.

On April 6 last year, he spotted his former girlfriend, Ms Soon Pei Ling, 22, at the Marina Bay Sands (MBS) casino. He asked her for the loan, but she refused to help him. Feeling aggrieved, he bought a 20cm-long knife the next day and went to the lift lobby on her floor.

He timed his visit for 3pm when Ms Soon would leave for work, said Deputy Public Prosecutor Shen Wanqin. While she was waiting at the lift lobby, Oh suddenly appeared and grabbed her. She shouted for help and there was a scuffle.

Oh grabbed her $7,000 Chanel handbag containing $6,000 in cash and $6,600 in valuables. She released her grip on it when she felt a sharp pain on her right ring finger. Oh fled the scene.

A neighbour helped Ms Soon call the police. She went to Tan Tock Seng Hospital and was treated for a 1cm-long cut on her finger.

Of the stolen items, Oh returned only the handbag to her and did not make any restitution. He used $4,000 of the cash to gamble at the casino.

He was arrested in a Bukit Panjang flat at around 8.30pm on April 8 last year.

Sniff Me, Again!

Coach, in my heart, will always be a bag!  I can still remember the first Coach Bag that was gifted to me by my dear Aunt when she visited to attend my wedding, she gave me a leather Coach Bag which I kept and took care off until the very moment.

Who would've thought I would own something Coach and it's not even bag related?  Yes, my love for fragrance has, again, kicked in and my fragrance collection is growing!

I searched online and checked their ad...
Coach Poppy Flower Fragrance

So girly, So me!

PHP 3,700 available at Rustans
To be honest, the scent is not the usual floral ME but one whiff you would understand why I appreciate the scent!  It smells fun, quirky and happy!

"The notes are a blend of citrus, lychee and cassis blend with water lilly and jasmine petals in an airy scent."
Then the start of the year, I got a gift from a very good friend of mine Emily! :) She delivered it to my home and voila!  A perfect gift for Ms. AMW --- The Sniffer! :P

Tous L'eau de Parfum
 For a perfume, what I like about the scent is the fact that it's not overwhelming and I can even use this on day time!

 SRP: 30ml PHP 2,200.00 | 50ml PHP 2,800.00 | 90ml PHP 3,600.00
"Tous L'eau de Parfum is a floral, woody, musky scent that was created by Nathalie Lorson.  The composition opens with notes of mandarin, lemon and floral accords.  The heart of freesia, jasmine, white peony and black currant is settle on the basis of white musk, patchouli and transparent amber."

No wonder, the combination is as unique as it smells and I do not own a similar scented fragrance like this!  Well, it doesn't hurt that the packaging has a cute tiny bear which both Mr. AMW and myself love!

And the gift came with a tiny sized Tous L'eau de toilette

I personally like the Parfum (pink) better than the Toilette (blue green) so the blue green bottle goes to Mr. AMW as he took one sniff and liked it! :)

Sorry, all inanimate objects turned animated once it enters into our home :)
That's the way it is! :P

What's your newest fragrance included in your SNIFF-ollection?

Keep smilin'
Stay happy!

  1. my fave fragnance at the moment is Miss Dior chérie !

    ohh, i love it :)

    1. Oooh the scent of Miss Dior Cherie is nice!!!!

  2. Uy, perfume shopping! I've always been meaning to get Tous Tous (the gold one). But for some weird reason, I always end up liking something else. :p

    1. hahahahha how's the scent of Tous Tous? I can't imagine! Siguro more floral?

  3. hi ms. AMW.. wow, i love your new perfume, smells really good, i have it too..:)my fave now is chanel coco mademoiselle.. :)

    1. oohhh come to think of it, I do not have Coco Chanel! not sure why? hahahhaa

I'd love to hear from you! Feel free to comment your questions, suggestions and just anything you may want to say! Keep smiling and stay happy!

What is NAPA?
The National Asphalt Pavement Association is the only trade association that exclusively represents the interests of the asphalt pavement material producer and paving contractor on the national level with Congress, government agencies, and other national trade and business organizations. NAPA supports an active research program designed to answer questions about environmental issues and to improve the quality of asphalt pavements and paving techniques used in the construction of roads, streets, highways, parking lots, airports, and environmental and recreational facilities. The Association provides technical, educational, and marketing materials and information to its members, and supplies technical information to users and specifiers of paving materials. The Association, which counts nearly 1,200 companies as its members, was founded in 1955.

What does NAPA do?
NAPA's staff consists of professionals ready to help its members learn the latest technology, understand environmental issues, gain market share, and receive training. NAPA is the most valuable resource in the asphalt pavement industry.

Where is NAPA located?
NAPA is conveniently located just east of the Capital Beltway, and just minutes from downtown Washington, D.C. The NAPA office is convenient to all three Washington-area airports (BWI Marshall Airport, Reagan National Airport, Dulles International Airport). For directions to the NAPA office, please click here.

Who are NAPA Members?
Companies or individuals in the asphalt pavement industry that operate on a for-profit basis, which include asphalt pavement material producers, paving contractors, equipment and materials manufacturers, materials suppliers, equipment distributors, engineering firms, and consultants. Interested in becoming a Member of NAPA? Click here.

What is asphalt pavement?
Asphalt pavement is a combination of approximately 95 percent stone, sand, or gravel bound together by 5 percent asphalt cement, a product of crude oil. Recycled materials, including reclaimed asphalt pavement from old roads and parking lots, are often used to replace some of the virgin aggregate and asphalt cement in a pavement mixture. Asphalt cement is heated and mixed with the aggregate at an asphalt mixture production facility. The resulting asphalt pavement material is loaded into trucks for transport to the paving site. The trucks dump the pavement material into hoppers located at the front of paving machines. The asphalt is placed, then compacted using a heavy roller, which is driven over the asphalt. Traffic is generally permitted on the pavement as soon as the pavement has cooled.

National Center for Asphalt Technology

NCAT logo

NCAT Laboratory BuildingThe National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) was established at Auburn University in 1986 with an endowment set up by the NAPA Research and Education Foundation. NAPA represents the asphalt pavement industry, thus providing strong ties between NCAT and industry. NCAT's mission: Improve asphalt pavement performance through research, education, and information services. NCAT welcomes inquiries and requests for information from those involved with the asphalt industry.

NCAT researchers have improved aggregate testing and evaluation methods, developed mix design procedures for stone matrix asphalt, evaluated modified asphalt mixtures, improved mix design and control methods to minimize rutting, and developed a test to measure asphalt content without using solvents. Research project sponsors include the Federal Highway Administrative (FHWA), National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP), state departments of transportation, National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA), and NAPA Research and Education Foundation. The annual budget for all projects is $1.5 million to $4 million per year.

Much of NCAT's work is oriented toward problem solving for a technology transfer to asphalt pavement users. For example, on request, NCAT staff can quickly search the NCAT literature database for any asphalt technology topic and send the information to the individual requesting it. Much of the literature is in the NCAT library and can be used by industry.

The biannual newsletter, Asphalt Technology News, covers timely topics, includes questions/answers from industry personnel on topics they select, and has ready-to-use information.

Brookdale Hospital – A Culture Of Unsafe Medical Practice

As a New Yorker we often think we have the best and most advanced healthcare options in the world, and in many ways that is true.  New York has world class medical facilities and research centers doing groundbreaking work and training some of America’s best and brightest future medical professionals.  But as a New York City medical malpractice lawyer, I also see the flip side of that coin.  Often lower income New Yorkers suffer unfairly at the hands of severely mismanaged hospitals and negligent doctors.  In fact, a recent article by Consumer Reports found that of the 50 lowest scoring hospitals, 30 are located in New York.

scale of justiceThe New York Daily New recently reported some serious concerns about the lack of patient safety at Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center in Brownsville, Brooklyn.  Interestingly, the hospital’s spokesman Ole Pedersen claims “we are confident in the quality of care provided to the residents of Brooklyn”.  But the facts suggest otherwise.

Brookdale is currently facing over 100 lawsuits from patients and their relatives, which suggests rampant negligence and malpractice.

In fact, a couple of those patients are being represented by our law firm.  A dozen of these suits involve patients that we killed as a result of the malpractice.

In one case an elderly woman received a blood infection and gangrene on her feet from pressure ulcers.  In one of our own cases a doctor fractured a child’s shoulder while forcefully pulling him out of his mother’s uterus – and then sent him home without diagnosing it.  The Daily News reported other specific acts of malpractice, include letting a diabetic’s puncture wound get so infected that his toes had to be amputated, giving penicillin to a patient with a bracelet stating an allergy to that medication, and another case of negligence during childbirth that caused the infant permanent brain and nervous system injuries.

Joanne Doroshow, director of the Center for Justice and Democracy at New York University, calls this an epidemic of medical malpractice suits for Brookdale, and that the volume is “egregious.”  Of course, it is important to remember that these numbers only reflect the patients actually filing lawsuits.  It is very likely that many more patients have been affected by malpractice and have not done anything about it.  Ms. Doroshow says that for every one patient that files a lawsuit, 100 more felt they got substandard care but did not sue.  She went on to tell the Daily News that such unsafe care is tremendously expensive for the community because it increases the need for even more medical care, and that there are proven and well-known ways to make hospitals safer for patients.  She stated that it is “pure negligence” not to do them.

Even among Brooklyn’s other hospitals, many of which are substantially bigger than Brookdale, Brookdale stands out as one of the biggest problem hospitals.  New York Assemblymen have called this figure “alarming” and that it shows need for change at the “highest levels of management.”  Unsurprisingly, Brookdale has been failing financially the past few years, with a 2010 operating loss of $42 million.  Last September the CEO of its parent company, MediSys Health Network, was convicted of bribing New York City officials.  This kind of financial mismanagement is a separate problem, but we can all agree that whatever financial problems a hospital is facing, there is never an excuse for negligence or malpractice.

Further we must remember that government studies have proven that the entire cost of malpractice verdicts, settlements, and total litigation costs, represent a mere one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the total cost of malpractice insurance.  Whereas the “administrative costs” racked up by insurance companies represent twenty-one percent (21%) of the total insurance premiums they collect.  Clearly there must be increased Patient Safety at these institutions, but the changes must also include reform of the astronomical salaries and perquisites that are being plundered by the insurance companies, their executives, and their CEOs.

If you or a loved one has been a patient at a New York hospital and has received unsafe or substandard medical care, be sure to contact us.  It may be the only way you and your family can obtain justice from a hospital that has been careless about Patient Safety.  No hospital should be allowed to get as bad as Brookdale has become, and these lawsuits are often the only way to force hospitals to clean up their patient safety standards.

Since March of 2016, there has been a lot of speculation about Audi, and their desire to enter the NASCAR ring. At first glance it may not seem to make sense. A German automotive company attempting to compete in a predominantly American event. But look closer, and it suddenly does not seem so far-fetched.

It Started With a Tweet

The rumors really started to swirl on March 22nd when Matthew Dillner, an online and TV reporter for NASCAR related news, tweeted: “I’ve heard the rumor for two years of Audi entering #NASCAR and know the interest has been there. My prediction is that it will happen”. Immediately following was this from Dillner: “Another manufacturer within our sport is a good thing. If it happens it will be a positive one as Toyota’s presence has been”.

Now not being an employee, associate, or anything related to Audi those statements may not seem like much coming from Matthew Dillner. Yet NASCAR CEO Brian France has also been heard talking about Audi, and their place in the coveted race, at least in broader terms: “I think a lot of car companies are understandably looking at the terrific job that Toyota has done by partnering with NASCAR and the success and all the things that comes along with that. And this is obviously the biggest opportunity in auto racing in North America.

These remarks were made to SiriusXM Speedway’s Dave Moody as the two discussed the possibility of various foreign automakers entering stock car racing. Apparently Audi is not the only brand that has NASCAR on the mind, but it has more to do with sales than with bringing home any trophies. NASCAR owns the public’s interest when it comes to racing as sport in the U.S., claiming over 75 million fans coast to coast.

While you may not picture the typical NASCAR fan being interested in a German luxury car, that opinion could easily change when they see what one is capable of when let loose on a race track. By becoming a part of the American stock car race world, Audi is just begging to be bought by the more well to do fans of the sport. There is no doubt that the exposure will equal higher sales, which really boils down to the whole point for the brand.

A Legacy of Success in Racing

Audi has been racing towards success since the 1980’s, when the Quattro all wheel drive was first introduced and they began to dominate the World Rally Championship. The trend continued at Le Mans, with win after consecutive win for the brand. Audi is natural at developing cars and engines for checkered flags, and would likely make for a fierce competitor at NASCAR.

Sadly for now, it is all speculation swirling around the racing world. Yet with the popularity of the R8 blazing a trail, Audi’s NASCAR dreams may come true sooner than we had imagined.

Rebel Rising - Beth Revis

Review for…

Rebel Rising by Beth Revis

When Jyn Erso was five years old, her mother was murdered and her father taken from her to serve the Empire. But despite the loss of her parents she is not completely alone—Saw Gerrera, a man willing to go to any extremes necessary in order to resist Imperial tyranny, takes her in as his own, and gives her not only a home but all the abilities and resources she needs to become a rebel herself.

Jyn dedicates herself to the cause—and the man. But fighting alongside Saw and his people brings with it danger and the question of just how far Jyn is willing to go as one of Saw’s soldiers. When she faces an unthinkable betrayal that shatters her world, Jyn will have to pull the pieces of herself back together and figure out what she truly believes in…and who she can really trust.

While this book unmistakably is young-adult, it's more like a bildungsroman, focusing on the disillusionment Jyn went through with the rebellion, with Rogue One as the final chapter. We meet Jyn just after her mother was killed and up until she’s liberated from prison.

The book covers a wide swath of time, and the voice sometimes feels like it wanted to shift to something older, even when she was a young teen, learning the skills that made her so valuable to the rebellion, how she learned to fight. Especially when she survives on her own, and then living by her wits, carrying truncheons and just trying to survive.

We also see the evils not only of the Empire, but of the Rebellion, or at least the extremists Saw Gerrera belongs to— and the wedge driven between her and the rebellion.

There’s very little love in Jyn’s life you realize, and the tragedy isn’t how her story ends, but how she was barely living, eeking out a meagre existence for such a long time. It’s powerful, but it’s sad. Time and again, she’s forced to adapt, to learn something new that breaks your heart. The love that comes into her life never seems to stay uncomplicated, as we see with the son of a freighter pilot who probably was her first and only love. Even the nameless, the momentary interactions, can sting— like a pilot who helps her escape at one point, whom we only see for two pages, but were so impactful.

This is some deep fan stuff. If you liked Rogue One, specifically Jyn Erso, you'll enjoy this.

(Also, because this is my first book from Beth Revis, and it was so good, I'm looking forward to reading more from her.)

How to Choose an Best Ultralight Tent for Backpacking

ultralight tent for backpacking.

Choosing a camping tent can sometimes be pretty confusing, difficult, and tedious. However, always have it in mind that a fine tent should be easy to set up, weather-proof, lightweight, and durable. These attributes can make it pretty difficult for one to narrow down their preferences especially when it comes to price tag. In this article, I will kick around some essential factors to look out for when procuring a new tent. Similarly, I will issue out recommendations for picking the best camping tents so that you can have an outstanding camping experience and get prepared for the upcoming summer. These factors and ideas will assist you in choosing the best ultralight tent for backpacking.

Weight of Ultralight Tent for Backpacking

When shopping for the best ultralight tent for backpacking, the weight should be the first factor you should put into consideration. A good number of camp tents weigh between 1-5 pounds. The lighter a tent is, the easier it is going to be for you to carry it on your back while camping and also while surfing through the woods. With that being said, it’s also great to note that there is a trade-off between durability and weight.

When correlating tents, adequate care is required as there are two different ultralight weight specifications. Further more, when it comes to setting up, and storing ultralight tents, adequate care is required. Ultralight tents are also more expensive. When it comes to weight specifications, there are two different weight specifications of the poles, tent, and fly. But you’ll also need a stuff sack, stakes, and a footprint to secure the base of the tent.

Capacity and Interior Space

It’s also important to know the number of people that you will be sharing your ultralight tent for backpacking with as this will help you determining the right tent to purchase. In addition to this, find out how tall you are, and how tall those that you will be sharing your tent with are. Most ultralight tents for backpacking are usually compact for two people.

Nevertheless, if you intend camping with your significant other and plan on cuddling throughout your days in the woods, then you should opt for the smaller 2-man ultralight tent for backpacking. If you are tall or are likely to share your tent with friends who are, you would need a more spacious ultralight tent for backpacking. You should consider buying a 3-man tent. Pay adequate attention to the floor space, check to ensure the ultralight tent for backpacking you intend purchasing doesn’t have a tapered design. Also check to ensure it has adequate head space for one to sit up or hand out during a bad weather.

Number of Doors

An appropriate ultralight tent for backpacking should have a minimum of two doors. This will make it pretty easier for you to get in and out of it. It would also ensure that you and your fellow tent mates do not stumble upon each other while in the tent. It will also ensure the proper circulation of air in and around your tent. Two doors tent helps campers to stay more organized while camping.

Seasonal Rating

A good number of ultralight backpackers are perfectly designed for a 3-season (summer, fall, and spring). They are also designed for its users to be comfortable in it, and also breathe well while in it. However, if you intend camping during winter, or extreme weather conditions, you should opt for a 4-season ultralight tent.  These four-season ultralight tents for backpacking retain heat better, but can be a bit stuffy if not properly ventilated.

 Wall Construction

Majority of the most common backpacking tents are doubled-walled. This means that they are designed with a separate rain fly attached to the outer part of the tent. The rain fly acts as a protective piece against weather. The double-walled tents enable proper ventilation with less condensation owing to the adequate flow of air.  On the other hand, a single-walled tent is designed to with stand all weather condition without the addition layer. They have no mesh and windows making pretty difficult to handle during rainy seasons. They are most appropriate in cold and dry weather conditions such as the southern Utah desert.

Free-standing verses Tarp-Style

A free standing ultralight tents for backpacking are those that are designed with poles to support it. They are easy and quick to set up and can easily be setup anywhere. A tarp-style tent is a type of ultralight tent for backpacking that can be set up using trekking poles and by tying guy lines to rocks, trees and other rigid objects.  Tarp-style tents are lighter than the rest as they do not make use of poles. They are perfect for long-distance campers.

Agriculture thanks Charles Saunders

Charles Saunders PHOTO: Submitted

The architects of Canada’s greatness are the many Canadians who contributed to its arts, science, technology, and agriculture industries through literature and inventions. In honour of the country’s 150th birthday, Beach Metro will be profiling different people who were a part of the growth and stability of this country, our Canada. A lot of these people lived, were born, or grew up in the East End and the Beach area. I will try to do justice to so many that helped Canada economically, militarily or through contributions in athletics to become part of our mosaic culture.

One of these Canadians was Sir Charles Edward Saunders, one of the last Canadians to be knighted for his contributions to agriculture, not only in Canada but in other parts of the world, as well. Sir Charles Saunders is one of those people who many of us have not heard of, but his accomplishments in agriculture and especially developing a strain of wheat that fed hundreds of millions of people through the years are worthy of celebration.

The name of this strain of wheat was called Marquis Wheat.

Without it, Canada’s west would not have been our bread basket and the farmers and wheat producers would have been in great trouble.

Advances in agriculture have been crucial for mankind to feed billions of people – and thanks is due to talented people like Saunders, who helped develop this strain of wheat and then painstakingly went through life almost unknown.

Saunders was born in London, Ontario on February 2, 1867 and died on July 25, 1937. It is a remarkable occasion when we have this great Canadian born in the Confederation year of 1867.

Saunders was educated at the University of Toronto and John Hopkins University where he was a brilliant student and dedicated himself to his studies. He became a professor of chemistry, just one of his many academic talents.

He devoted himself to many experiments in science and agriculture. It was recognized by some that his talents lay in agriculture. He became involved in the Experimental Farms Service and started his career in 1910.

Saunders improved Canada’s Dominion because he persevered in his quest to give the farmers of the west a hand up, so to speak. Canada in the late 1890s and early 20th century, like many other countries, had trouble feeding its population.

But our prairie agricultural pioneers were blessed by Saunders who opened the “gates of wheat” for them. It was not an easy task. He and his brothers spent summers selecting individual heads of wheat that would help, to no avail. Saunders kept experimenting with seeds and plants – some from red fife, some from other types of plants. Others would easily have given up. He kept experimenting, mining this strain with that strain, sometimes chewing and tasting the seeds to see how they were. He kept this up constantly for years.

He went through many types of small loaves to measure volume – his mind was like a modern day computer. He checked with other people who tried experiments but none were to his liking. Finally a breakthrough in 1907. He sent a strain of wheat which he called Marquis to be tested. It was the best news. Saunders had discovered a great success.

One must realize that there were many other types that were on the market such as Red Fife, but it didn’t fit the bill. Marquis wheat was the toughest strain of them all and its discovery and use was due to the diligence of Saunders.

In the beginning, Saskatchewan and Alberta had growing pains, in part because we were a young country with a young wheat problem.

But 1909 marked the beginning of prosperity for Canada and the western provinces. Marquis wheat was the sturdiest strain by 1920. Ninety per cent of the wheat grown in Canada was Marquis wheat. This great agricultural contribution went to all different parts of the United States and the world.

This type of wheat made the western farmers one of the best in the world for years to come. Prosperity came to the west and built Canada into a great wheat producing country – all through the many years of experiments of Saunders. Think of all the billions of dollars that our great nation has received – not to mention the ability to feed our nation, Canada – due to Saunders and others like him.

Saunders was never a great physical specimen. He suffered a great deal, and the many years of sacrificing his time and energy was taking a toll on him.

In the 1920s he suffered a great physical breakdown and stopped his work at his doctor’s insistence. He moved to the great city of Toronto, here in the Beach on Munro Park where he died in 1937.

In the years before he died, the world showered him with honours. One of the best honours was when he was knighted by King George V in 1934 – one of the last ever Canadians to be knighted – for his great contribution to Canada and the world.

Practice 12-12-2017-3
Practice 12-12-2017-3

[dropcap]A[/dropcap]n elite group of RBHS actors will take over the Performing Arts Center (PAC) lobby tomorrow, Dec. 15 to present the comedy “Bamboozled.” The group, named the Upstagers, or more commonly known as the RBHS Acting Troupe, has been preparing this production since this past summer. They hope to bring laughter to audience members and show off their acting skills.

Drama director Holly Kerns believes the organization has worked hard for the performance and will be relatable to anyone who watches.

“The acting troupe is a year long, dedicated group who is preparing and keeping ready performances that can travel. We go to remote locations to perform. Students auditioned for this in May [of the last school year,]” Kerns said. “Bamboozled is a street theatre-type performance with few props and set pieces. It utilizes entertaining tropes and jokes and is very accessible to anyone. We use stock characters that are universally recognized.”

Actors in the troupe are ecstatic that they are going to show what they’ve been working on all semester and entertain audiences with humor. Senior Rebecca Simmons said the troupe is ready to take the stage.

“I am excited for the audiences reactions. Since it is a comedy the goal to the performance is to get a reaction. I am aiming to get the audience to laugh but I still don’t know how they will react,” Simmons said. “[The best part of performing a comedy is] the laughs. It doesn’t matter if they are in rehearsal, from the audience, or backstage during the show. Laughter is a form of success in a comedy and sometimes you just need to laugh.”

Like Simmons, junior Lucy Beattie loves the play. She says the cast enjoys rehearsing the play as many members break character to laugh.

“Performing a commedia is incredibly fun. It’s hilarious and you get to be ridiculous while having fun.
The Upstagers and I have been practicing our lines since the summer and we have all worked hard to keep our blocking and lines memorized,” Beattie said. “The audience should expect some fun bamboozling, and a lot of laughter. I hope the audience likes this piece as much as I do.”

Despite the giggles in practice, Kerns thinks the group is ready for tomorrow’s show. She said the performance starts at 6:30 pm and tickets are $6 or $4 with I.D.

“This performance is fun to present on home turf. We have performed this show before and will do it many times in the next semester,” Kerns said. “I love it’s flexibility. Friends and family haven’t seen it yet, though and this is exciting. The actors have put a lot of time and energy into making the show accessible to a wide audience.”

My week 24, 25 and 26 pregnancy update

“Your baby now weighs around 2 lbs and is 36 cms long. Their eyes will start to open this week and they will begin practising making breathing movements. Your baby will start to respond more to noises and can hear you and your partner chatting away.”

I cant believe how time is flying by now since going back to work after the holidays. How was my last update three weeks ago?!

How far along: 27+1 today

Days until due date: 90 days

My bump: After a rocky start with coming to terms with my changing shape, I have turned a corner and I am fully embracing my baby bump! In recent weeks I have definitely popped out and my bump feels really hard and firm now. Some days I feel very neat and compact, and others I feel very heavy. I am still putting on my own shoes though!

Weight changes: My pre-pregnancy weight was 9.5 stone and the last time I weighed myself I had put on a stone, but it is mainly bump and boobs! Although, I have noticed my thighs have gotten bigger. I am still very active, my job helps with this too as I am constantly on my feet!

Stretch marks? No – still religiously using Palmers body oil, Bio Oil and plenty of body butters. I will have to do a separate post on these!

Cravings: I am really enjoying having a hot chocolate in the evenings now before bedtime, but I think this is down to the darker nights and everything is feeling wonderfully Autumnal now.

Sleep: No major issues with sleep yet – I am sleeping like a baby! It helps that my boyfriend rolls me over if I do end up sleeping on my back. A couple of times I have accidentally woken up on my back and it is a bit achy for the rest of the day, but soon eases.

Symptoms: Recently I have felt really breathless when I’m talking which is completely normal during pregnancy but feels a bit odd when I have to pause and take a breath in the middle of a conversation! I'm also finding I lose track of what I am saying and I cant remember anything! Baby brain is definitely taking its toll!

Best moment this week: Seeing our little baby wriggling around in my tummy. I can't wait to meet her!

Worst moment this week: A couple of really stressful days at work - que the emotions!

Miss anything? After this week at work I really fancied a Gin & Tonic.

Maternity clothes: I have bought a couple of maternity bundles from ebay and kept some of the things that were nice. I have just ordered a few bits from jojomamanbebe though as I needed a nursing bra plus a few bits to wear when the weather turns colder. I found a lovely dress and a 4 way cardigan that can be changed into a jumper.

Movement: Those small kicks/ ripples have developed into full on kicks now which can be seen! Especially when I'm applying my body butter before bed and she has a little wriggle! It's incredible to see.

Belly button in/out: In but flat (definitely on its way out!)

Mood: Happy and energetic. Feeling a little apprehensive and nervous as I prepare to enter the third trimester. After such a lovely second trimester, I am worried that I am going to really struggle in the final trimester. I also know I will only be getting bigger and will probably have to start taking it easy - something I really struggle with as I like to keep busy.

Looking forward to: Sorting out the final bits for the baby's room this week.
