Progesterone levels usually rise after ovulation. If you have high progesterone levels, it indicates that you have ovulated. If the egg does not get fertilized, then your progesterone levels drop resulting in the start of your menstrual cycle.
However, some women experience low levels of progesterone which may lead to difficulty with getting or staying pregnant.
A recent study says that 48% of women with low progesterone levels are at high risks of miscarriages.
So, how can you check the level of your progesterone? In this article, you will find out about this pregnancy hormone and ways to detect when something goes wrong.
What Is Progesterone?
Progesterone is a kind of steroid hormone that is produced after ovulation and during pregnancy. It is secreted by the adrenal cortex and the ovaries.
Your ovaries contain multiple follicles which start growing during the first half of your menstrual cycle.
Of these only one follicle grows to maturation and releases an egg. Once the egg is released, the ruptured follicle forms the corpus luteum. The cells of the corpus luteum help to secrete progesterone.
Surprisingly, this female hormone is also secreted from the testes of a man. However, it is produced in little amounts that go unnoticed. Progesterone helps with sperm production in men.
Progesterone And Ovulation
During ovulation, an egg is released from the ovary and into the fallopian tube. The progesterone level is low because high levels stop ovulation and prepares the body for pregnancy or menstruation.
A 2015 study records that a progesterone level greater than or equal to 5ng/ml confirms ovulation. Generally a level above 3 shows that ovulation has occurred and a level about 10, points out that your body’s getting ready for pregnancy.
Despite these facts, progesterone levels may be higher than 10 and show no sign of pregnancy or lower than 5 and you’ll be completely normal.
Progesterone Level Before And After Ovulation
Before OvulationGenerally, your progesterone remains low (< 0.89) at the beginning of your menstrual cycle. It remains that way throughout the pre-ovulation stage. Once ovulation occurs, the progesterone levels increase and your body starts preparing for pregnancy.
After OvulationAfter ovulation, progesterone levels rise and peak 5-9 days after ovulation. At the middle of your luteal cycle, your progesterone levels begin to fall if fertilization does not take place. If your progesterone level is high during your luteal cycle then it means you have ovulated. If your progesterone level is low then it may mean that you did not ovulate. Progesterone levels are measured through a blood test. It is expected for your progesterone levels to fluctuate throughout your menstrual cycle. Hence, the figures vary at different times of the month. Your doctor may ask you to come for blood tests if your menstrual cycle is irregular. Progesterone levels are typically weighed in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). The chart below shows the levels of progesterone in different phases of your menstrual cycle or pregnancy.
Consequences Of Low Progesterone After Ovulation
The pregnancy hormone, progesterone, is vital especially in a woman’s child-bearing years. You may want to pay more attention to your body if you are hoping to get pregnant soon.
Low progesterone levels can lead to abnormal uterine bleeding or irregular periods in women who are not pregnant. In pregnant women, low progesterone levels could lead to miscarriages.
In some cases, low progesterone levels during pregnancy can show an ectopic pregnancy.
An ectopic pregnancy means that the fertilized egg is growing outside of the uterus. You should see your doctor immediately if you have an ectopic pregnancy as it can be fatal without immediate care.

Progesterone and Pregnancy
Progesterone helps to prepare the uterus for pregnancy.
After ovulation, the follicle from which the egg was released starts secreting progesterone that the uterus needs for growth and nutrition. This hormone causes the uterine lining to get thicker. A thick uterine lining helps to provide a good environment for the fertilized egg.
Having a balance in the pregnancy hormone is important. Increasing progesterone levels help in providing nutrition to the growing fetus during pregnancy.
When To Test For Progesterone
Usually, your progesterone levels should be tested 7 DPO (days after you ovulate).This is because it can take up to seven days for progesterone to increase after ovulation.
However, this method has its drawbacks. Studies show that progesterone levels fluctuate day by day, even hour by hour. So if you were to get a blood test in the morning, you could get very different results than the afternoon. A single progesterone test is not sufficient enough to give you maximum results.
If you are testing Progesterone only to confirm ovulation, you can test between day 2 and day 7 after your ovulation day. A rise in progesterone confirms that you ovulated. You may need to take more tests if you want to find out whether your progesterone levels are sufficient to support a healthy pregnancy.
If your doctor recommends progesterone medications for you to boost the hormonal level, then you should begin 2–4 days after ovulation. They would tell you how to use the pills. It is advisable to continue your medications until a pregnancy test which is two weeks after your ovulation.
Normally, progesterone delays period so ensure you don’t miss your pregnancy test. If your test is positive then continue the pills till your 10th week of pregnancy. If not, then stop the progesterone drugs to allow your period to start in about 2-7 days.
How To Check Your Progesterone Level
If you have noticed symptoms of low progesterone level then you may want to run a test and find out the reason.
Your doctor will run several blood tests to determine your highest progesterone level after ovulation. However, this method is usually stressful.
Another method is using fertility monitors, like Inito. This home testing system can check your progesterone metabolite-PdG, estrogen, luteinizing hormone, and follicle stimulating hormone levels. Checking the three results helps you understand what happens during ovulation.
The different results you may see are:
1. High fertility – This means your estrogen level is high and you are approaching ovulation. Now is the best time to conceive.
2. Peak fertility – Both Estrogen and LH levels are high enough for ovulation to occur within the next 24-36 hours.
3. Ovulation confirmed – Your progesterone metabolite-PdG level has increased and ovulation has occurred.
Fertility monitors like Inito are more convenient to use than visiting your doctor for blood tests. You can test your urine and get your results quickly. Inito is also more accurate than other monitors which only test for one or two reproductive hormones.
- Progesterone is a unique type of steroid hormone that is important in the female menstrual cycle and in pregnancy.
- Progesterone is produced by the corpus luteum after ovulation.
- Low progesterone levels are caused by anovulation, stress, PCOS, menopause, luteal phase defect.
- Blood tests and fertility monitors are ways to check your progesterone levels and see if they are at the right level.
- If you and your doctor decide that treating low progesterone is necessary, there are several different types of progesterone supplements that are available.

To reduce the number of concussions in football, a startup company is Seattle is developing a new helmet that absorbs shock differently than a traditional football helmet.
Unlike the traditional helmet, which is hard on the outside and contains padding on the inside, the Zero1 helmet from Vicis is soft on the outside and hard on the inside, to slow and reduce impact before it gets to the player’s head.
According to Dave Marver, one of the founders of Vicis, the future of football “is at risk because of safety concerns. The existing helmet companies aren’t innovating fast enough. They’re innovation has been incremental. This is not an incremental problem — this is a major public health problem. We need to solve this issue of sports-related concussion.”
While they acknowledge that no helmet can completely eliminate concussions, the founders of Vicis claim that their new helmet has an impact-absorbing layer that consists of columns that move “omnidirectionally” to respond to impact from any angle. In a promotional video filmed by the company, when their helmet hits a hard, solid surface, it moves and bends at the moment of impact, almost like rubber, whereas the traditional helmet bounces hard, rattling the head of the wearer. The video also features Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin, and NFL Hall of Famers Roger Staubach and Tony Dorsett.
The other founders of Vicis include Sam Browd, a pediatric neurosurgeon and the medical director of the Seattle Children’s Sports Concussion program; and Per Reinhall, is a professor and Department Chair of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington.
“Helmets were never intended to prevent concussions,” says Browd. With the Zero1 helmet, “what we’re really trying to do is take this common sense approach to it. “The more force reduction you can bring, the more likely you are to reduce the risk of concussion.”
“If this concussion problem is not addressed,” says Reinhall. “I think the game is in danger.”
The expected retail price of the helmet will be around $1,500, about four to five times of the average helmet, but the board of Vicis is confident that NFL teams will be interested in purchasing the helmet for next season. But the goal of Vicis is to get the cost down enough that the helmet can be adopted by younger players.
As reported in a story on wired.com, Browd said his five year-old son has taken an interest in football. But when asked by wired.com writer Liz Stinson if he’d consider letting his child play, Browd said, “With current helmets, I’m not sure. I think with the Vicis helmet, if we sustain the performance improvements we’re hoping to achieve, I would feel comfortable letting my son play because it puts the risk of the sport back towards the median.”
Stinson also interviewed Tim Gay, a physics professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and author of The Physics of Football, about the helmet. Gay said the helmet’s principles work in theory, but there are few ways to know for certain without testing it on an actual player. “It’s very difficult to see ahead of time whether it’s going to work or not,” he said. “I appreciate that they’re trying to make the game safer, but I want to see the data they have.”
During the 2013 NFL preseason and regular season, there were 228 diagnosed concussions. An increasing amount of research has tied concussions and repeated, mild- to moderate-brain trauma to long-term, neurodegenerative diseases like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). A report released in 2015 found that of the 91 brains of former NFL players stained for CTE, 87 tested positive (96% of all players tested).

Testosterone (Free with Total)
This panel contains the following tests:
- Free Testosterone
- Total Testosterone
Testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group primarily secreted in the testes of males and the ovaries of females with small amounts also secreted by the adrenal glands.
It is the principal anabolic steroid responsible for directing metabolism and the repair and regeneration of healthy tissues. In men, testosterone also plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues as well as promoting secondary sexual characteristics such as increased muscle and bone mass and hair growth.
On average, an adult male produces about ten times more testosterone than an adult female. However, women are far more sensitive to testosterone than men. Women with low testosterone may be more at risk for bone disease, heart disease, stroke, loss of libido, and chronic infections. Fasting is not required for this test. Take all medications as prescribed.
Special Note: If you are supplementing with any hormones, it is important to take them approximately 2 hours prior to having blood drawn.

Pike hasn't finished yet
Top jockey William Pike is hungry for more success at Belmont Park today and over the last month of the season despite having an unassailable lead for his third premiership.
Pike is poised to add to his 2006-07 and 2008-09 metropolitan jockeys' titles with 72½ winners this season - 22½ clear of nearest rival and leading apprentice Kyra Yuill - with seven meetings remaining.
The 25-year-old targeted a 2010-11 premiership win after scoring 31½ winners last season when he returned from a six-month stint in Hong Kong.
"I can't complain …70-odd winners so hopefully we've got time for a few more before the season's done," Pike said. "I'm just keen to ride as many winners as I can (next season) and pay the bills.
"You never rule those sorts of options (such as returning to Hong Kong) out, but I'd want to try and time my run if I did go."
With five winners at the last two Saturday meetings, Pike will look to build on his hot form with a strong book of seven rides, despite the scratching of his Strickland Stakes mount The Underworld.
The Underworld, guided to victory by Pike in the Belmont Guineas a fortnight ago, has been spelled after trainer Chris Gangemi reported he was showing signs of training off.
Sweet Serenity is the pick of his rides when she lines up in the $80,000 Belmont Oaks (2000m) as a warm $2.50 favourite with Player.
"She seems to be a horse that finds her fair share of trouble so hopefully I can give her a trouble-free run and get the result we want," Pike said.
"It's (2000m) always a little unknown, but she relaxes well enough and in her own age group, I think she'll get it.
"Being a three-year-old and in good form like she is generally helps you get at least three-quarters of the journey."
She would give Pike a second consecutive victory in the Listed feature following the win of New Image last year.
Pike is also bullish about his chances on Proud Hero in the Dayana Plate (2000m). The Testa Rossa gelding was scratched from the Guineas at the barriers but ran a solid fourth to Endless Time over 1600m last Saturday.
"We got no favours out wide. He hit the wall at the 200m which he was entitled to," Pike said. "He's got a bad barrier again but I think it (2000m) won't be a problem with him."
Pike will again ride Morant in his search for a third straight win in the Perth Racing Now On Facebook Handicap (1400m).
His other rides are Power From Beyond, Endless Time, Gold Rocks and Highest Honour.

Greensill Capital filed for administration in the U.K., capping a stunning collapse for the supply-chain finance company after key backers walked away over concerns about the valuation of its assets.
A hearing was held Monday in London to review the submission, according to court documents. Lex Greensill's eponymous company had been readying the filing since last week, after Credit Suisse Group froze and then later started winding down $10 billion of funds that bought products from Greensill. That decision set off a chain of events that also saw regulators in Germany shut down its local bank.
Greensill remains in talks with Apollo-backed Athene Holding on the sale of its operating business, according to people with knowledge of the matter, though any transaction will likely be at a fraction of the $7 billion valuation that the company had sought in fundraising talks last year when it was considering plans to go public. Separately Monday, Apollo agreed to acquire the about 65% it didn't already own of Athene for about $11 billion.
Greensill unraveled in a matter of days once the lack of confidence began to sweep across the financial world. At the heart of the trouble are loans made by its supply-chain finance business. Greensill backers from Credit Suisse to Softbank Group and GAM Holding signaled doubts about the debt, upending the multibillion-dollar empire. It also emerged that Softbank's Vision fund had substantially written down its $1.5 billion holding in Greensill late last year.
Grant Thornton has been appointed as joint administrators, and "are in continued discussion with an interested party in relation to the purchase of certain Greensill Capital assets," the firm said in an emailed statement. Bloomberg reported last week that Greensill was in the process of filing for insolvency.
Some of the most high-profile drama last week took place in Germany, where regulator BaFin shuttered Greensill Bank and asked law enforcement officials to investigate accounting irregularities. BaFin spent months probing Greensill Bank's exposure to companies linked to U.K. industrialist Sanjeev Gupta. Greensill said it was always transparent with auditors and regulators about its approach to classifying assets.
Pressure on Greensill ratcheted up as it lost its allies, with Credit Suisse freezing and then deciding to liquidate the family of funds that invest in Greensill-sourced loans, citing "uncertainty" about the valuations of some of the debt.
GAM also said it will begin shuttering its $842 million GAM Greensill Supply Chain Finance Fund and return investors' as it sought to end its dealings with the firm. SoftBank, Greensill's biggest investor, wrote down the $1.5 billion stake held by its Softbank's Vision Fund at the end of 2020.

This is scary stuff.
Beyond all the potential device hijinks, just think how quickly electronic medical records could be populated with gibberish, false readings, and red herrings from ne’er-do-wells.
Here’s hoping that hospital IT staff are as paranoid as Carrie Mathison on Homeland.

It’s Insanely Easy to Hack Hospital Equipment
When Scott Erven was given free rein to roam through all of the medical equipment used at a large chain of Midwest health care facilities, he knew he would find security problems–but he wasn’t prepared for just how bad it would be.
In a study spanning two years, Erven and his team found drug infusion pumps–for delivering morphine drips, chemotherapy and antibiotics–that can be remotely manipulated to change the dosage doled out to patients; Bluetooth-enabled defibrillators that can be manipulated to deliver random shocks to a patient’s heart or prevent a medically needed shock from occurring; X-rays that can be accessed by outsiders lurking on a hospital’s network; temperature settings on refrigerators storing blood and drugs that can be reset, causing spoilage; and digital medical records that can be altered to cause physicians to misdiagnose, prescribe the wrong drugs or administer unwarranted care.
Erven’s team also found that, in some cases, they could blue-screen devices and restart or reboot them to wipe out the configuration settings, allowing an attacker to take critical equipment down during emergencies or crash all of the testing equipment in a lab and reset the configuration to factory settings.
“Many hospitals are unaware of the high risk associated with these devices,” Erven says. “Even though research has been done to show the risks, health care organizations haven’t taken notice. They aren’t doing the testing they need to do and need to focus on assessing their risks.”
Erven works as head of information security for Essentia Health, which operates about 100 facilities–including clinics, hospitals and pharmacies–in Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin and Idaho. Essentia decided to open its facilities to a full-scale evaluation in 2012, and in a remarkable and laudable move, allowed Erven to publicly reveal some of his findings.
Erven won’t identify specific product brands that are vulnerable because he’s still trying to get some of the problems fixed. But he said a wide cross-section of devices shared a handful of common security holes, including lack of authentication to access or manipulate the equipment; weak passwords or default and hardcoded vendor passwords like “admin” or “1234?; and embedded web servers and administrative interfaces that make it easy to identify and manipulate devices once an attacker finds them on a network.
Although Erven and his team don’t know whether any of these devices are connected directly to the internet–they plan a subsequent test to determine this–many of them are connected to internal networks accessible via the internet. Hackers could gain access to the devices by infecting an employee’s computer via a phishing attack, then exploring the internal network to find vulnerable systems. A hacker who happens to be in the hospital could also simply plug his laptop into the network to discover and attack vulnerable systems.
“There are very few [devices] that are truly firewalled off from the rest of the organization,” he says. “Once you get a foothold into the network … you can scan and find almost all of these devices, and it’s fairly easy to get on these networks.”
Everything Was Tested, And Most Of It Was Hackable
Erven, who plans to present some of his findings at Thotcon in Chicago, began his research after a security consultancy performing a penetration test on an Essentia Health network discovered some devices connected to the network that had security issues. This, combined with previous research done by other security experts showing problems with insulin pumps, defibrillators and hardcoded passwords in medical devices, prompted Essentia to take an extensive look at all of its equipment.
“We had management backing to see what our risk exposure is across all health care systems,” he says. “We tested every single device in our environment–various radiology stuff and MRIs, ultrasound and mammography systems, cardiology, oncology. We tested all of our lab systems, surgery robots, fetal monitoring, ventilators, anesthesia.”
One of the main problems they found lay with embedded web services that allow devices to communicate with one another and feed digital data directly to patient medical records.
“A lot of the web services allow unauthenticated or unencrypted communication between the devices, so we’re able to alter the info that gets fed into the medical record … so you would get misdiagnosis or get prescriptions wrong,” he says. “The physician is taught to rely on the information in the medical records … [but] we could alter the data that was feeding from these systems, due to the vulnerabilities we found.”
Erven says an attacker can collect data passing from medical devices to patient records, then replay it so that the same data gets passed into other records.
They also found problems with refrigeration systems for blood and pharmaceutical storage and cryogenics that aren’t protected.
“They all have a web interface that allow you to set the temperature range,” he says. Although he says the systems include email alerts and wireless pagers that notify lab and hospital staff if the temperature falls outside certain boundaries, the systems are only protected by hardcoded passwords, and once in the system, an attacker can turn off the email pager notification features or alter the settings to change when an alert is sent.
Storage systems for X-rays and other images were equally vulnerable. Erven says the images are generally backed up in centralized storage units that require no authentication to access. While some of the front-end systems that physicians and other staff use to access the images do use hardcoded passwords and log who accesses the images, Erven says the backup is completely unprotected “and there is no logging if you go in the backdoor way and grab those images.”
They also found surgery robots connected to internal networks. Although the robots generally have software firewalls to block connections to them, Erven and his team found that simply running an off-the-shelf vulnerability scanner against the firewall caused it to turn off and fail open.
“But we haven’t figured out yet what we can do once those fail open,” he says.
The Worst Problems
Some of the most disturbing problems they found involved infusion pumps, ICDs (implantable cardiovascular defibrillators that deliver shocks to a patient who shows signs of going into cardiac arrest) and CT scans. They found a number of infusion pumps that have a web administration interface for nurses to change drug dosage levels from their workstations. Some of the systems are not password-protected, while others have hardcoded passwords that are weak and universal to all customers.
With the CT scan, they could alter configuration files and change radiation exposure limits that set the amount of radiation patients receive.
Though targeted attacks would be difficult to pull off in most cases they examined, since hackers would need to have additional knowledge about the systems and the patients hooked up to them, Erven says random attacks causing collateral damage would be fairly easy to pull off.
That’s not the case with implantable defibrillators, however, which could be targeted.
“We found a couple of defibrillator vendors that use a Bluetooth stack for writing configurations and doing test shocks [against the patient] when they’re implanted or after surgery,” he says. “They have default and weak passwords to the Bluetooth stack so you can connect to the devices. It’s a simple password like an iPhone PIN that you could guess very quickly.”
A fictional defibrillator attack had a prominent role in an episode of the TV show Homeland in 2012 but the risks of such an attack are real. Physicians for former Vice President Dick Cheney had the wireless capability of his defibrillator disabled in 2007 to prevent terrorists from conducting such an attack to kill him.
Although the picture of hospital equipment that Erven and his team uncovered was gloomy, there was one bright spot among all the bad news — anesthesia equipment and ventilators are generally not networked and don’t allow web administration, so someone would have to have physical access to the devices to alter them.
Hospitals Are Unaware of the Dangers
Erven says that the health care industry is just now waking up to the security problems with medical equipment, and that the problems exist because medical equipment has only ever been regulated for reliability, effectiveness and safety, not for security.
“The vendors don’t have any types of security programs in place, nor is it required as part of pre-market submission to the [Federal Drug Administration],” Erven notes. “There’s no security assessment before it goes to market.”
Last spring, the FDA and DHS issued a notice to the health care industry about problems with hard-coded passwords in medical devices after two researchers found them in about 300 medical devices, including ventilators, pumps, defibrillators and surgical and anesthesia devices.
The alert advised health care facilities to examine their systems for problems and put controls in place to protect them from unauthorized users. But Erven says health care facilities can only do so much to wall-off devices; vendors must do more to secure the devices with encryption and authentication before they sell them to customers and fix the ones that are already in the field. FDA guidelines for medical devices now place the onus on vendors to ensure that their systems are secure and patched, and customers should demand they do so.
Although vendors often tell customers they can’t remove hard coded passwords from their devices or take other steps to secure their systems because it would require them to take the systems back to the FDA for approval afterward, Erven points out that the FDA guidelines for medical equipment includes a cybersecurity clause that allows a post-market device to be patched without requiring recertification by the FDA.

Chicago GM Stan Bowman announced the team would be using both of their compliance buyouts this summer on defenseman Steve Montador and forward Rostislav Olesz.
Montador had two years remaining on his four-year deal with a $2.75 million cap hit. Olesz had just one season left on his six-year deal with a $3.125 million cap hit. Neither player was a factor in winning the Stanley Cup for the ‘Hawks this season. Montador dealt with concussion issues most of the season before being sent to Rockford in the AHL.
There was talk before the end of the Stanley Cup Final that perhaps Marian Hossa would be someone the team would buy out. With the fear of the cap recapture penalty looming if he retired before the end of his deal out there, some speculated it would be easier for Chicago to buy him out and move on.
That won’t be happening now and the Blackhawks will be hoping to see Hossa going strong into the 2020-2021 season when his 12-year deal expires. He’ll be 42 years-old when that happens.

CINCINNATI — Columbia Parkway reopened Tuesday morning, days after a landslide closed the road Sunday.
The parkway is closed in both directions between Kemper Lane and Torrence for a mudslide that has blocked some of the lanes.
A detour had been set up to reroute drivers through Kemper and Torrence while crews worked to clean the landslide.
WATCH: Sky 9 video of landslide cleanup on Columbia Parkway
Cincinnati is a "landslide-prone area of the country" and Columbia Parkway in particular is a "poster child" for the issue because the retaining wall wasn't engineered properly when it was built, according to Eric Russo, the executive director of The Hillside Trust, a local advocacy group.
"This is a very common occurrence along the parkway," he said. "This parkway was built at the mid-slope of a hillside back in the late '20s, early 1930s ... Over time, the problem has been that, that wall is not tall enough to hold the hill back, number one; and number two, the hillside was cut back at such an angle that it's still trying to find its balance in terms of equilibrium at that degree of slope."
Russo said he's noticed more landslides in the past three years caused by major storms. Public infrastructure like the parkway is being affected, and so is private property.
"This is an ongoing problem," he said. "This problem could go on for many, many years down the road."

Chronic Fear is the second installment of Scott Nicholson’s chilling Fear series, which began with the harrowing Liquid Fear. The story picks up one year after the notorious Monkey House trials, from which the tiny handful of survivors have scattered in the wind. For while the unwitting human guinea pigs are still alive, the experimental drugs to which they were subjected continue to wreak havoc on their emotional stability. World-renowned neurobiologist Dr. Alexis Morgan knows first-hand the horrors of the sadistic experiment: her husband, Mark, was one its victims. As a result, he is plagued by unpredictable bouts of rage and paranoia. Dr. Morgan’s research into the drug leads her to suspect presidential candidate and U. S. Senator Daniel Burchfield of plotting to gain control of the drug for his own purposes, a power play that is sure to result in countless casualties unless she and three Monkey House survivors can outwit the shadowy figures behind the conspiracy — if they don’t lose their own sanity first.
Scott Nicholson (born 1963) is an American author.
Fear consists of two books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.

Review for One For All Bluetooth Music Receiver SV1820
One For All's Bluetooth Music Receiver is a way for you to share you digital music wirelessly and it really does exactly what it says on the box. Connected to your speakers you can connect it to any of your MP3 devices by Bluetooth and play whatever music you happen to have.
The sound quality is perfect and if you were looking for an easy way to play your latest album, podcast or digital radio show this is an easy way to do this.
However, there is certainly things that could be improved on. The base device needs its own power input which is a little offputting when it could have been battery or a rechargable device. The fact that it doesn't have its own internal speakers means that the quality of the sound really depends on what your sound system is like. These are only little thing as it is a 'Receiver' and not a 'Speaker', but would certainly make the device much more appealing.
The device is lightweight, small and able to be setup in a few minutes. It is the very definition of 'Plug and Play' and within a few minutes the system was up and running and so if this was part of your portable sound system (DJs etc.) this would be a great plus.
This Music Receiver is one of the best I have seen and although it would be nice if it had internal battery and a speaker it still does exactly what it says and would be a great way to sync up and listen to your music.

WeSwap features in The Times
Last week, IW Capital proudly announced the launch of its Series B funding round for renowned UK scale-up WeSwap – a peer-to-peer currency exchange platform at the forefront of the nation’s thriving fintech industry. As the fintech frontrunner’s lead and primary investor, IW Capital has played an integral role in supporting WeSwap’s impressive expansion since 2011, linking the company with a community of investors eager to back the next generation of high-growth businesses. Core to WeSwap’s success is its ongoing determination to uncover new innovations that will redefine not only currency exchange but the way people manage their expenses when on holiday.
WeSwap’s trailblazing approach to fintech innovation has been turning heads, both with investors and national publications. Drawn to the company’s development of a software that breaks down the costs likely to be incurred by travellers when visiting particular destinations, The Times this week published a featured on WeSwap, reaffirming the company’s leading position within the fintech space. You can read the full article here.
Over the past decade, the UK’s fintech landscape has evolved from a community of start-ups to a fully-fledged industry of scale-ups fast-transforming conventional banking practices and daily consumer activities. New research this week revealed that nearly two-thirds of UK businesses are adopting new fintech solutions to streamline internal procedures, reduce operating costs and deliver efficient services. On average, firms adopting fintech products are saving on average over £5,500 a year.
Key to the industry’s consolidated rate of rapid expansion has been the fresh injection of growth capital from non-traditional sources. Having adapted to the stringent lending conditions imposed by high street lenders in the aftermath of the global recession, scaling fintech businesses continuously look to non-traditional capital injections in the form of debt and equity finance. Tax-incentive instruments such as EIS have proven particularly popular, encouraging HNW investors to support the next generation of high-growth SMEs. Second to this, investors can also benefit from the tax-reliefs on offer through EIS. Since it was launched in 1993-94, over 26,000 individual companies have raised over £15.9 billion of funds through the EIS.
Boasting over 50 years’ collective experience in SME investment, IW Capital has offered its sophisticated network of investors the opportunity to invest in scaling businesses such as WeSwap through EIS. In addition to the encouraging properties of tax-efficient investment schemes in linking investors with companies through tax-relief, it is vital for due diligence to be carried out on all EIS-qualifying businesses to minimise the risks involved for investors. For this reason, IW Capital welcomes the Government’s plans to review and reform asset-backed EIS investments.

Former Middletown police lieutenant sentenced to 18 months in prison
MIDDLETOWN — The office of Attorney General Peter Neronha announced Wednesday a former member of the Middletown Police Department was sentenced to 18 months at the Adult Correctional Institutions in Cranston for fraudulently altering police records.
In February, a jury found then-suspended Middletown Police Lt. Richard Gamache guilty of 13 of the 14 counts levied against him in Newport County Superior Court.
Gamache faced 12 felony charges of intentional access, alteration, damage or destruction of a computer and two misdemeanor counts of giving a false document to an agent, employee or public official.
The jury found Gamache guilty of all felony counts save for one — intentional access, alteration, damage or destruction of a computer that stemmed from his alleged deletion of an accident report involving his family member.
On Wednesday, during a hearing before Superior Court Justice Brian Van Couyghen, Gamache was sentenced on the 11 felony counts to a five-year full sentence, with the first 18 months to be served at the ACI and the balance to be suspended with probation, according to a press release from the attorney general’s office. The court also imposed a fine in the amount of $2,200.
On the two misdemeanor charges, the court sentenced Gamache to 18 months to serve at the ACI, concurrent with the sentence on the felony counts.
“Police officers, like all public officials, must be held accountable when they abuse their public authority to serve their private interests,” Neronha said in a prepared statement. “Those who swear an oath to serve the public have a great responsibility to maintain public trust — a trust the defendant plainly violated here. I want to thank the Office’s Public Integrity Unit and the Middletown Police Department for their strong work throughout the investigation and trial.”
Gamache and Tiffany Walaski (his girlfriend at all relevant times) were arrested by Rhode Island State Police on Oct. 14, 2017. Gamache was charged with domestic simple assault while Walaski was charged with domestic simple assault, third offense, and driving under the influence.
Gamache was a member of the Middletown Police Department at the time, and his arrest spurred an internal investigation, according to information in a court document. Over the course of the internal investigation, police discovered Gamache had altered or deleted some Middletown Police Department records and used “fraudulent means” to obtain a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher for Walaski, according to a police narrative included in court documents.
According to Middletown Detective Adam Tobias’ narrative in court records: “Lt. Gamache had told the Newport Housing Authority that Ms. Walaski was an informant for an ongoing and evolving case involving drugs, doctors and pharmacies in the Cranston and Johnston areas and that threats were being made against her. [Middletown] Det. [Scott] Naso reported that a narcotics investigation with the same fact pattern was a past case, however Ms. Walaski was not involved in the case. A check of the Middletown Police Department Investigative Reporting System for the case (15-40-IV) that Det. Naso had recalled showed that Ms. Walaski has been added to the report ... Based on discovering this altered document, Det. Naso used the Middletown Police Department Records System to check Ms. Walaski’s in-house records ... Det. Naso discovered that arrest reports and incident reports were missing and or had been altered from Ms. Walaski’s Middletown Police Department’s in-house records.”
Tobias, Naso and Middletown Police Capt. Jason Ryan led the investigation. Assistant Attorney General John Moreira and Special Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Morin prosecuted the case.

The request, which comes on top of $150.4 billion sought by the administration earlier this year, pushes the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to more than $600 billion.
It also appears certain to further inflame tensions between the president and his Democratic critics on Capitol Hill, who are locked in a debate over federal spending bills as well as the war.
“Demanding nearly $200 billion for Iraq while vetoing health care for 10 million children exemplifies the Bush administration’s misplaced priorities,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, said Monday, referring to the president’s objection to spending $30 billion to expand a health insurance program for children.
Despite repeatedly failing to force a change of U.S. policy in Iraq, many Democrats have pledged to restrict additional money for the war in Iraq to paying for a withdrawal of troops.
Standing with a group of veterans in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, Bush appeared to invite the new showdown.
“I know some in Congress are against the war,” he said. “But they ought to make sure our troops have what it takes to succeed. … Congress should not go home for the holidays while our troops are still waiting for the funds they need.”
Bush further needled Democrats with a pointed suggestion that lawmakers keep the bill “focused on true necessities, not pet projects.”
The last war supplemental, approved in May, included millions of dollars for programs unrelated to defense, such as aid to agriculture.
The Bush administration itself has used prior emergency funding requests to secure money for items only tangentially related to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, including the Joint Strike Fighter aircraft program.
Pentagon officials stressed Monday that the latest request focused on the most critical needs.
The biggest single item is expanded production of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected, or MRAP, vehicles, which the Pentagon hopes will better protect troops from roadside bombs than the widely used Humvee.
In July, the Pentagon requested an additional $5.3 billion for the MRAP program. The request submitted Monday seeks an additional $11 billion for 7,274 vehicles. The administration hopes to build 15,274 of the trucks.
The White House also has identified $8.8 billion it wants to use to help alleviate equipment shortfalls by purchasing new tanks, F-18 fighter jets and other weapon systems.
Maintaining the presence of additional troops that are part of Bush’s “surge” will require $6.3 billion, defense officials said. Under the current plan, the final surge forces are due to leave Iraq in June.
The administration also is seeking more than $1.7 billion for medical care for wounded service members and $2.2 billion for international aid to Sudan, the Palestinian territories, Pakistan and elsewhere.
“All of these are urgent priorities of the United States,” Bush said. “Congress should fund them without delay.”
Senior Democrats, who increasingly have worked to call attention to what is being sacrificed to pay for the war, have indicated that they will not cut off money needed to sustain troops in the field.

'Everyone try to establish ties with the ruling party and once that connection is established, justice gets delayed and eventually denied'
Right activists and members of the civil society expressed apprehension over a fair trial into the murder investigation of Buet student Abrar Fahad and further doubt convictions against the perpetrators.
Reviewing Bangladesh's progress after accepting recommendations from the Universal Periodic Review (UPR), noted speakers made the remarks while commenting over the status of freedom of expression and culture of impunity in the country's judiciary.
Human Rights Forum Bangladesh (HRFB) organized a national seminar on 'One Year after UPR 2018: Where Are We?' at the CIRDAP Auditorium on Tuesday.
Executive Director of Ain-o-Salish Kendra Sheepa Hafiza said that the country's justice system is failing due to political interference.
“Everyone try to establish ties with the ruling party and once that connection is established, justice gets delayed and eventually denied,” she observed.
Raising concerns over a culture of impunity that exists in the country particularly in cases having political connection, she said: “There might be a trial in Abrar murder case, however, we cannot rely with full confidence as they have a powerful political lineage.”
Human Rights Expert Tahmina Rahman described the murder of Abrar as an attempt to squeeze free speech. She added that since 1971, more than 151 people were killed in the public universities and none of them had completed trial yet.
Director General-UN of Ministry of Foreign Affairs Nahida Sobhan, however, commended the government's prompt steps following the murder of Abrar Fahad and said everyone should accept what the government has done in such a short period after recognizing the horrific incident.
Little progress in a year
Bangladesh participated in the UN organized UPR in May, 2018, where some 105 countries made 251 recommendations for Bangladesh and among them some 178 were accepted and 73 were placed in the table of noted.
According to the participants in the forum, except for making progress in reducing the extreme poor, Bangladesh has not even made near to expected progress during the time.
Senior advocate of the Bangladesh Supreme Court, Zahirul Islam Khan Panna said that there is widespread lawlessness, chaos and lack of correspondence everywhere in our political culture. He added by saying that if considerable space is not created to flourish healthy political practices, evil and crooked political agents will fill in the gaps.
Barrister Sara Hossain, executive director of Bangladesh Legal Aid and Services Trust (BLAST), said there has been continuous violation of human rights and abuse against people in the country, nonetheless, the government remains persistent in denying such cases. Government should have the courage to say ‘Yes’, accept responsibility and address the issue appropriately.
The government said that extrajudicial killings and incidents of disappearance are not acknowledged in the Bangladeshi laws. The government should clear its stance in this regard, she reiterates.
Human Rights Forum of Bangladesh said following the Universal Periodic Review (UPR), a unique process which involves a periodic review of the human rights records of all 193 UN Member States, steps to formulating Digital Security Act-2018 (DSA), and Sarkari Chakori Ain-2018’ gave some negative impression on establishing human rights and put a stop on rampant corruption.
Tahmina Rahman said after the DSA was passed, some 210 cases were filed under the act apparently barring freedom of expression and openness. At the same time, another act, Public Service Act 2018 was formulated, where it stipulates that to arrest an on-duty government official permission would be needed.
Executive Director of Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) Dr Iftekharuzzaman said the article that imposed indemnity on arresting public servant will hinder the process of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
NHRCB in question
Executive Director of TIB Iftekharuzzaman raised questions on the process of appointing the chairman of the National Human Right Commission Bangladesh, saying earlier the process was manipulated as one of the retired government officials was made chairman.
Sheepa Hafiza said NHRCB was supposed to be the last resort of advocating human rights in the country, but it has failed to stand up to its expectation even after ten years of its inception.
The commission should have effective dialogue with the civil society and should reach out to the people which will eventually create a mechanism for accountability, and transparency.
Hiranmaya Barai, secretary of NHRCB said although they are not in a strong position they will achieve their goal slowly.
Shaheen Anam, executive director of Manusher Jonno Foundation (MJF) said it is disappointing that the independent role of the law enforcing and monitoring organizations are decreasing day by day.
The primary reason for the continued spate of killings is the culture of impunity in the country. Despite so many incidents, public outcry and serious criticism at home and abroad, there has been little progress in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
But more importantly, the activists of the ruling party have been enjoying a free ride in recent years. It has contributed to the serious deterioration of law and order in the country.
