This is something I have never heard of before but I just recently found out I have. Nearly every night I have horrible dreams that I am killing my baby in some way or that I will once the baby is born. I am always depressed and have to take sleeps aids to get any sort of rest. I don't want to take any more meds but don't know how else to deal with this. Does anyone know of anyway that I can control this without meds?

I think the best thing to do is talk to a doctor and get medicine that will help. Cause the risk of taking medicine is no where near the risk of not being treated for it. Zoloft is a pretty safe medicine while pregnant so is prozact. An you don't need to feel bad about needing them. It doesn't make you less of a person, makes you stronger cause you'll able to admit you need help and get the treatment you need so you can take care of your self, and your baby. Keep your head up, everything will be okay.posted 07/25/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

NO2 click is a very accurate nitrogen-dioxide gas sensor Click board™, equipped with the SPEC amperometric gas sensor which electrochemically reacts with the nitrogen-dioxide (NO2). It is supported by the LMP91000, a high-precision integrated analog front-end IC (AFE), perfectly suited for use in electrochemical sensing applications. The Click board™ also provides the reference voltage required by the sensor and offers a choice between the analog output from the AFE IC buffered with the low noise op-amp, and digital output from the 12-bit SAR A/D converter.
NDIR CO2 click is an advanced integrated CO2 gas sensor system, which is able to measure an absolute CO2 concentration, by utilizing the CDM7160 integrated sensor. This sensor is based on nondispersive infrared sensing principle (NDIR), with two detection elements: one is used for detecting the wavelength of the IR light spectrum, affected by the CO2 gas, while the other detects the wavelength of the IR light spectrum not affected by the CO2 gas. The integrated MCU processes the readings and outputs the absolute CO2 gas concentration value through UART or I2C interface. Dual wavelength sensing method allows not only accurate absolute readings, but also provides immunity against dust pollution, providing consistent readings in corrosive atmosphere, variable ambient temperature, and over longer periods of time.
The mikroBUS cape is an extension for Beaglebone Black, the popular low-cost development platform running Linux. This simple cape has four mikroBUS sockets that allow you to connect more than 130 different types of click boards.

The Verdun class aircraft carrier supercarriers are a class of supercarriers being built for the French Navy in the 1950s and is the first supercarrier class to be built outside of the Unites States and the Soviet Union. With 75,000 tons at full load, this class of supercarriers can carry up to 70 fixed-wing aircraft, such Mirage IVM and Jaguar M and was the largest warships in the French Fleet until the arrive of the new Future French aircraft carrier class in the mid-2010s.
Verdun class was a part of a new naval programme to upgrade the French Navy and to build more and larger aircraft carriers after the World War II, and the first aircraft carrier class to be completed alone-side the Verdun class carriers, was Clemenceau class aircraft carrier with four carriers.
Four carriers of the Verdun class aircraft carrier was ordered and completed during the 1960s.
With the Clemenceau class aircraft carriers soon to enter service, the French Navy launched an effort to build a larger carrier specifically with the nuclear strike role in mind. Construction of the first carrier was considered in 1958, launched in 1961 and completed and commissioned in 1965.
For more than 30 years, France would rely on the Clemenceau class to provide fixed wing aviation. These four ships were modified in the 1980s to accommodate AN52 nuclear bombs. France built a new carrier finally in the form of the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle (R91) at the end of the 1990s.

Living with chronic pain is tiresome and relentless. The pain comes in many different forms, depending on the sufferer. The most common form of chronic pain is back or neck aches, but it can come from anywhere. Some conditions, like Regional Pain Syndrome affects specific areas of the body such as the legs and arms. For some chronic pain conditions, there is no cure, only management and soothing. That’s what we’re here to help with today. We’ll show you the best, and most effective ways to reduce your everyday pain.
Keeping things at a manageable level is a daily task, and you’ll need to make plenty of lifestyle changes. Learning to cope and adapt to chronic pain isn’t easy, but it all starts by making a plan! Read the following measures, and begin to incorporate them into your life as much as possible.
- Yoga and meditation
The root of chronic back and neck pain lies in your muscles. It’s the tension and tightness that comes with muscle age and use. We naturally build up tension in our neck and shoulder muscles, and it needs a release. Yoga and meditation is a fantastic way to do that. Many people snub these alternative therapies, but if you’ve tried everything else, it’s worth a shot! The core of yoga and meditation is managing your breathing. Deep breathing allows you to relax, which in turn helps drain the tension from your muscles. Some soft yoga will also help stretch your muscles, and wring out the pain.
- Reduce stress
Everyone has different triggers and causes when it comes to chronic pain. But, doctors all agree on one thing: stress worsens it! No matter the source of your pain, stress will amplify it immensely. Why? Because we hold our stress in our shoulders, back, and neck. Stress causes our muscles to tense up which fuels the pain. Think about your everyday lifestyle, and how it contributes to your stress levels. Perhaps it’s time to reduce your hours at work, or move on from a trying job. If there are stresses in the home, face up to them, and try to mitigate them.
- Soft exercise
Exercise produces a string of natural, feel-good chemicals. Endorphins are nature’s painkillers, and by taking regular exercise, you can help reduce the pain. The endorphins will also boost your mood, happiness, and motivation. This is essential when dealing with relentless pain. Secondly, exercise will help strengthen those painful muscles. It will help defend against further injury and pain problems.
- Stop smoking and drinking
Studies show that regular smoking and drinking can exacerbate the pain levels in your body. Alcohol is a particular problem because it disrupts your sleep pattern terribly. Sleeping with chronic pain is hard enough as it is, without throwing alcohol into the mix. Try to remove it from your life, or cut back significantly. The problem with smoking lies with blood flow. Healthy circulation helps ease pain, because your muscles get all the oxygen they need. Smoking disrupts that flow, and breeds painful symptoms.
Now, here’s one lifestyle change you can wholeheartedly embrace! Massages help target the specific pain areas, and loosen those muscles. Remember, the pain is almost always muscle based, caused by tension. Massages help work out the nots and stress in your neck and shoulders. They’ll ease the pain by softening those core muscle groups. If you’re suffering from a particular chronic pain, let your masseuse know, and they’ll target it specifically. Other treatments like acupuncture have also proved very effective here.
- Good diet
A healthy diet is critical whether you’re suffering from chronic pain or not. But, it’s time to take a long, hard look at your current intake. You need to keep your blood sugar levels at a healthy dose to ensure good blood flow. You need to keep your weight down, to avoid putting more stress on those painful areas. A balanced diet will keep your body in good working order.
- Drug treatments
Of course, there are plenty of medicinal answers. Simple painkillers may do the trick when it comes to early pain symptoms. Speak to your doctor about the right prescription for you. There are also more controversial options out there. The use of medical ketamine and medical marijuana is rising rapidly in the USA. Speak to the specialists about whether this route might benefit you.
Living with chronic pain is possible is you learn to manage it correctly. What tricks do you use to soothe your pain?

Keeping the body in balance, and the immune system strong, can prevent allergies from taking hold.
Come and discover:
* Why certain “body types” are more prone to allergies
* How digestion impacts allergic reactions
* The role of metabolism in allergic responses
* The effect of vaccinations on the body
* Techniques to balance and strengthen the immune system

Richard A. Lupoff began his career as a writer creating a science fiction fanzine, Xero, which won a Hugo Award in 1963. He began his official writing career with a biography of Edgar Rice Burroughs and a first novel, One Million Centuries, in the early 1960s. Over the course of a very long writing career, eventually, over sixty books carried his byline, many of them science fiction novels, short story collections, and mystery novels. He also edited a still unsurpassed history of early comic books, All in Color for a Dime. Other novels include Space War Blues, Into the Aether, Sword of the Demon and The Comic Book Killer. His short story, 12:01, became a Showtime short film and was later expanded into a full-length television movie (and was most likely the inspiration for the classic film, Groundhog Day).
Starting in 1977 on KPFA, he helped create a large body of work that included most of the best-known science fiction and mystery writers of the last quarter of the twentieth century, and his work digging up interviews with old pulp writers and editors remains, to a large extent, the only body of work of its kind.
Probabilities began with a one-off one-hour program called Probabilities Unlimited, with Lawrence Davidson in the first show hosting Richard Lupoff and Michael Kurland, with Richard Wolinsky at the controls. After several months, and after Richard Wolinsky became co-host, it became a regular weekly, half-hour program called simply Probabilities, which aired until 1995. Richard A. Lupoff joined the show as co-host in 1979. Lawrence Davidson left in the mid-1980s. In 1995, the show relaunched as part of the Cover to Cover series of strip programs. By that time, it was known informally as the Richard and Richard Show. Richard Lupoff departed in 2001 to focus on his writing career. Among the notable authors interviewed by the two Richards were such luminaries as Ray Bradbury, Octavia Butler, Gore Vidal, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Kurt Vonnegut.

No two federal perjury cases are exactly alike, in part because they can arise from so many different situations. For instance, making false statements on your federal income tax return and lying under oath before a federal grand jury both can result in federal perjury charges.
If you are in this situation, you may be wondering what you should expect from a Washington D.C. perjury case. The fact is that there are some elements that are common to most perjury cases, which can give you a better sense of what to expect in your particular situation. For more information, speak with a knowledgeable attorney today.
Federal criminal offenses involving perjury and making false statements are provided for in three general federal statutes. When taken together, these statutes cover most situations in which federal penalty charges may arise, including federal courtrooms, federal agency administrative proceedings, and investigations by federal officials.
First, 18 U.S. Code §1001 prohibits willfully falsifying or hiding matters that are material in nature, making false statements, and creating or using materially false documents with the intent to deceive others. Any of these actions that occur within the jurisdiction of a federal government proceeding are illegal under this federal law.
Next, 18 U.S.C. §1621 provides for general federal perjury charges when individuals willfully testify under oath sanctioned by federal law, in front of a federal court, administrative body, officer, or other person, about a material matter that they do not believe to be true. This is the case regardless of whether individuals testify under oath in person or swear under oath that something they wrote is true and accurate.
This same statute also covers situations in which federal law does not require that individuals swear an oath before testifying or writing a statement as a material matter. So long as the individuals are testifying under the penalties of perjury, they may violate this section if they testify untruthfully with the intent to deceive others.
Finally, individuals may face federal perjury charges under 18 U.S.C. §1623. This statute comes into play when individuals testify untruthfully in federal court or grand jury proceedings. There is a lesser standard of proof needed to prove perjury under this statute than under 18 U.S.C. §1621.
Knowing what to expect from federal perjury proceedings in Washington DC can be difficult, since circumstances can vary widely from case to case. Some federal perjury statutes allow individuals to recant their false statements and avoid prosecution, while others permit recantation only to the extent that it might result in a more lenient sentence.
There are other defenses potentially available in federal perjury cases, however, that may be applicable in certain cases, such as:
If you are accused of making false statements or committing perjury under federal law, determining what you should expect from a Washington D.C. perjury case may be critical to pursuing a positive outcome in yours. An experienced criminal defense attorney may be able to answer your questions and help you develop any defenses that you may have to the charges against you. Call today to learn more.

Every night, just before I settle down to sleep, I ask God to help me be a Christian in my dreams, to know Christ’s constant presence there, and even to see his face. I started doing this because for the last six months or so nearly all of my dreams have been vivid, disturbing, distressing and sometimes frightening.
I began writing about this issue on the 27th of October 2022. If you would like to look back through this thread, here are the links to some relevant blogs:
27.10.22: Dreams: https://wp.me/p45bCr-cHj
12.11.22: A dream (for E.M.): https://wp.me/p45bCr-cPy
24.11.22: In my dreams: https://wp.me/p45bCr-cVN
6.12.22: In my dreams: https://wp.me/p45bCr-cZ0
9.1.23: Bad dreams: https://wp.me/p45bCr-d5w
Starting to understand
Yesterday, at last, I started to understand the purpose of these dreams:
Through them I repeatedly face situations, relationships, dilemmas, difficulties and turning-points which are similar in essence to those I have actually experienced during my life. So, as I work through these challenges again and again in my dreams, I have many opportunities to practice dealing with them more effectively.
In the past
In the past, when alarming things happened to me in real life, I simply reacted instinctively, like a cornered animal, unable to think about, or to control, my response.
Depending on the particular circumstances, my behavioural repertoire included getting upset, losing my temper, panicking, running away, anxious avoidance, being filled with dread, and saying nothing to the person concerned.
Sadly, none of these makes for a happy, healthy emotional life. Indeed, they create further issues by exacerbating and perpetuating existing problems. I can say this with complete confidence because I’ve spent my life wrestling with such issues, and struggling to overcome them.
However, to my delight, I’m now beginning to gain some significant insight into my bad dreams:
Firstly, they help me to connect my psychological issues with the serious damage done to my conscious and unconscious mental development by my mother’s emotional abuse.
Secondly, now aged 70, I observe that at last I’m beginning to react differently to challenging events in my dreams. This suggests that the assertiveness skills and emotional stability I have consciously worked so hard to acquire and develop as an adult are now slowly being integrated into my unconscious mind as well. I attribute this change to the prayer I say each night before sleeping, and thank God for this very significant form of gradual healing – the healing of my bad dreams.
One major theme
One theme that really stands out for me is the difference it makes when I speak out openly, directly and honestly in my dreams, rather than feeling helpless, powerless, silenced, weak and afraid.
It’s easy to see that the pattern of fear, silence and avoidance, unconsciously developed for the sake of self-preservation during my childhood, has been the underlying cause of my long history of anxiety, depression, panic attacks and phobias, especially the agoraphobia and claustrophobia which have characterised and dominated my life.
Understanding this makes me realise, yet again, that God really does bring good from everything, even, in my case, the mental suffering and ingrained defence mechanisms which result from having a narcissistic, controlling and emotionally abusive mother.
My guess is that as I become able to deal more skilfully with the difficult situations arising in my dreams, the bad ones will gradually cease. However, even if they continue, their fear factor will be greatly reduced by my responses to them being very different. So yesterday I added a new line to my final prayer of the day:
Please let me know your presence in my dreams. Whatever I experience in my sleep, may I face it with you, and deal with it as a Christian, speaking the truth in love directly, openly, confidently, and honestly.
I ask this through your own dear name. Amen.
STOP PRESS: Last night I had a potentially very distressing dream about being lost in London, exhausted and unable to walk. This is a standard agoraphobic/chronic illness nightmare for me. To my amazement, on waking, I remembered how I was able to ask for help from a stranger, and that although I was fully aware of my situation, I wasn’t afraid. Isn’t that truly amazing?
God gave Daniel the special ability to interpret the meanings of visions and dreams (Daniel 1:17; NLT).
God can tell you what it means and set you at ease (Genesis 41:16; NLT).
Keep on seeking, and you will find (Luke 11:9; NLT).
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me (Psalm 23:4; NKJV).
We will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ (Ephesians 4:15; NLT).
God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them (Romans 8:28; NLT).
Fun with fermenting
Yesterday I looked carefully at my raisin starter, and found tall, thin filaments of mould growing on it, so, sadly, it had to go into the bin. However, I’m still confidently making my usual yoghurt and buttermilk, so I haven’t given up fermenting altogether.

We’ve already reported on the big winners from last night’s 91st Academy Awards, hosted at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Although Green Book, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Roma dominated the night, other heavily nominated films didn’t take home as many awards. Here, we’ve gathered the films that walked away with only a win or two — or none — despite their ample nominations.
Although Olivia Colman won Best Actress in a Leading Role for her work on The Favourite, the film took home awards in none of the other nine categories in which it was nominated. The film tied with Roma for the most nominations heading into last night, but Roma won three — including Best Director — compared to The Favourite’s mere one.
It’s especially notable that The Favourite occupied two of the night’s five nominations for Best Actress in a Supporting Role but won neither — both Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz went home empty-handed. The film was the only one nominated twice in the same category (although costume designer Sandy Powell was nominated twice in the same category, Best Costume Design, but for two different films).
Although Vice was nominated in eight categories, it only won one award, in a non-major category. The film won Best Makeup and Hair; however, in this category, it only faced two opponents — Border and Mary Queen of Scots — whereas it faced four opponents in the other categories for which it was nominated (or, in the case of Best Picture, seven).
In the major acting categories for which Vice was nominated, it never once won: Amy Adams lost Best Actress in a Supporting Role to Regina King for If Beale Street Could Talk (we hoped Adams would win), Sam Rockwell lost Best Actor in a Supporting Role to Mahershala Ali for Green Book, and Christian Bale lost Best Actor in a Leading Role to Rami Malek for Bohemian Rhapsody. Vice also lost Best Picture to Bohemian Rhapsody and Best Director to Alfonso Cuarón for Roma.
A Star Is Born
Just as we hoped Amy Adams would win Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Vice, we hoped Lady Gaga would win Best Actress in a Leading Role for A Star Is Born. She instead lost to Olivia Colman for The Favourite. This loss was certainly not the film’s only for the night: Sam Elliott also lost Best Actor in a Supporting Role; Bradley Cooper, Will Fetters, and Eric Roth lost Best Adapted Screenplay to Spike Lee, David Rabinowitz, Charlie Wachtel, and Kevin Willmott for BlacKkKlansman; Bradley Cooper lost Best Actor in a Leading Role; and A Star Is Born lost Best Picture.
However, the film did win the much-deserved Best Original Song award for the Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga duet “Shallow,” which also won a Grammy two weeks ago for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Just as Gaga performed “Shallow” at the Grammys, she and Cooper performed it together at the Oscars (at the Grammys, Gaga sang both vocalists’ parts). This award is Lady Gaga’s first Oscar.
Do you think these movies should have earned more awards than they received? What films do you think deserved fewer wins? Who got snubbed? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
