Everything changes once you find out that you are pregnant, from physical, mental to our emotions. With all of the hormonal changes in our body, our physical appearances change – not just how big we get, but the same thing goes with our skin. Some are good, while others are, well, not what we’re used to. Sometimes, it can be horrifying looking at the mirror that it is possible not to recognize yourself anymore. Fortunately, there are skin care products for pregnant women which are safe to use.
In this article, we will share our findings after long research for the new moms to stay beautiful throughout their pregnancy journey. We shall choose the skin care products for pregnant women with cautious because whatever that apply onto our skin will be absorbed into our body and could affect our growing baby.
We will help the expecting moms by listing of ingredients in the skin care products that we shall avoid and list of recommended product brands which contain less harmful ingredients and there are safe to use for pregnant women.
The good news is, you can still keep that mom-to-be glow while protecting your baby during pregnancy with the following essentials:
Skin Changes to Your Skin During Pregnancy
Indeed, some ladies get nine months of skin perfection during pregnancy. The rest of us aren’t so lucky. Some get more pregnancy-related skin changes, and hormones are to blame! This includes having :
- drier skin
- darkening skin
If you have any pre-existing skin condition like psoriasis or eczema, expect to have some changes in your skin too. It can be for the better or for worse. Other unpleasant body changes are getting stretch marks, hair loss, and spider veins.
This is the time to adjust your expectations because it is easy to get moody after seeing a stranger in the mirror. Be kind to yourself, relax and understand that this will only last for nine months.
Avoid These Skin/Personal Care Ingredients During Pregnancy
Before we get into our recommended list of skin care products for pregnant women, let us talk about what you should be avoiding first. Some over-the-counter products and cosmetics include ingredients (example from animals) that can affect us and our growing baby.
Even if the FDA requires cosmetic products to be safe, it does not need any FDA approval to sell these products in the market. Thus, it will be up to us to examine carefully what we purchase. Here are the ingredients you should avoid during pregnancy:
Vitamin A is essential for us to have better immune, skin, eye, and reproductive systems. However, when we consume vitamin A through our skin, the body converts it to retinol. This is what a lot of anti-aging skincare products use, particularly a type of retinol called retinoids.
Retinoids help reverse acne and reduce fine lines by exfoliating the skin faster and boosting collagen production. There are different topical retinoids available today and they come from gel, liquid and cream form. There are
Although over-the-counter products usually have lower retinoids, some cases show having higher doses of it can affect birth defects. It should never be used during pregnancy to treat :
- fine wrinkles
- skin roughness
Always consult your doctor before you use, they will have to evaluate the benefits of using this ingredient to the mother out weights the risks to the fetus.
Benzoyl Peroxide and Salicylic Acid
These are common ingredients to treat acne with their inflammatory capabilities. Some products contain combination of these acids to treat acne problem and try to avoid them. Be cautious when you buy over-the-counter acne treatment cream that contains these ingredients during pregnancy. If you still need a good anti acne cream, look for only one of these ingredients (not combination).
According to study, single ingredient with low dosage and their low absorption rate will not pose any risk to developing fetus but It is always a best practice to consult obstetrician or dermatologist before use.
This helps to lighten skin pigmentation that occurs from melasma or chloasma, brown patches developed during the second and third trimester of pregnancy that usually appear on the face and neck. There is limited study that shows hydroquinone can affect our growing baby but since it has high absorption rate into our body than other ingredients, it is best to minimize exposure until we are confident it is safe to use during pregnancy. And again, consult obstetrician or dermatologist before use.
Phthalates can be found in many cosmetic and personal care products. It is a kind of solvent and plasticizers that can be found in nail polishers, hair spray, fragrance, body lotion and body cream. Usually, in the product label, there will be ingredient stated as “Phthalates”,”DEP”,”DBP”,”DEHP”, & “fragrance”. To be safe, try search for products that are fragrance-free.
There were serious studies on exposure to this ingredient that seriously affect human reproductive system and hormone disruption.
Paraben is widely used as a preservative as it has antibacterial and anti fungicidal properties, can prolong the shelve life of the products. These 4 are the common paraben used:
- Ethyl-paraben (EP)
- Butyl-paraben (BP)
- Methyl-paraben (MP)
- Propyl-paraben (PP)
It can be found in cosmetic, moisturizers, body cream, and hair care products. Studies have shown, the use of paraben may cause genital organ abnormalities if male fetus, recurrent miscarriage & low birth weight babies.
Formaldehyde is sometimes used as a preservative in nail polishers, nail glue, shampoo, soap, lotion, colour cosmetic & hair product. Some countries have banned formaldehyde as preservatives like Japan, and some countries like Malaysia has put on a safe limit of dosage in personal care products.
Formaldehyde has been linked to human known carcinogen. It is a type of gas that is released and absorb into our body while using the product contain such ingredient. Therefore, it can affect our growing baby during our pregnancy if we are exposed.
Avoid using the products that contain this ingredient. Look for the product label that stated formaldehyde or other formaldehyde releasing preservatives (FRP) such as :
- DMDM hydantoin
- imidazolidinyl urea
- diazolidinyl urea
- polyoxymethylene urea
- sodium hydroxymethylglycinate
- 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol (bromopol)
It is best not to use expired cosmetic products, or they have exposed to sun, as formaldehyde can be released more due to this reason.
Hitting the beach? You may want to check your sunscreen. Yes, it is proven effective for skin protection, but the endocrine-disrupting chemicals known as homosalate, avobenzone, oxybenzone can disrupt hormones and may have effect on baby birth weight.
Choose mineral sunscreen over chemical sunscreen which contain ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium oxide are safe and effective too.
Skin Care Products for Pregnant Women
There are other alternatives to taking care of our skin. You may want to try other pregnancy-safe antioxidants such as vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin B3, and green tea.
For dry skin, drink plenty of water and apply moisturizing products with cocoa butter and coconut oil. While you want to avoid stretch marks, make sure to use moisturizing products to help your skin stretch naturally.
Here are our recommended skincare products safe for pregnant women:

Before pregnancy, some of us may already have an existing skincare regiment, but this time, we have to apply certain changes. We have to compromise and change our ways to protect our little ones.
Many of us do not know the skin care products must be selected carefully during our pregnancy and they will be using the existing ones. I hope i give you enough insight about the ingredients that you need to watch out for and the list of product brands which are safe for pregnancy.

Lead singer of Maroon 5 Adam Levine had a strong take on this years VMA nominations. He took to twitter to voice his displeasure with MTV about Childish Gambino's song "This Is America" not being nominated for a single award.
Levine took to social media and said in a now deleted post:
"This year, Childish Gambino released one of the most impactful, thought-provoking, and intelligent videos ever made," Levine began. "I'm sure he doesn't care that he wasn't nominated for a VMA because he's cool as f**k and everything. But I care. Because I'm NOT that cool. And I still want MTV to mean something again. But it won't. Ever. K bye."
After Levine posted this on social media he quickly found out that "This Is America" is nominated for SEVEN awards:
- Video of The Year
- Video with A Message
- Best Cinematography
- Best Direction
- Best Art Direction
- Best Choreography
- Best Editing
After finding out all the awards "This is America" is nominated for Levine went back to social media to put his foot in his mouth. (Warning for language)

Pope Francis arrived in Philadelphia on Saturday morning and managed to have an emotional moment when he had barely stepped off the plane. After shaking some hands, Francis got into his Fiat and began to drive away on the tarmac when he ordered his driver to stop. He had apparently seen 10-year-old Michael Keating out of the corner of his eye.
Keating, who has cerebral palsy, was in a wheelchair at the corner of a barricade. Francis approached him, placed his hands on Michael’s head, said a blessing, and kissed him on the head. Francis then grabbed the hands of Michael’s visibly emotional mother and then shook hands with his father.
“It was an unbelievable feeling,” Kristin Keating said after the encounter, according to the Associated Press, adding she felt “totally blessed and loved.” Michael Keating’s father, Chuck Keating, directed the Bishop Shanahan High School marching band that welcomed the pope with a set that included Rocky theme song “Gonna Fly Now.”
“I had to turn away,” Chuck Keating, the boy’s dad, told NBC10. “It’s just a dream come true. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. That’s the word I just keep saying over and over again.”
Francis is expected to focus more on messages to ordinary Catholics in Philadelphia after addressing Congress and the United Nations in Washington, D.C., and New York. At a Mass with 1,600 people, the pontiff called on the Catholic Church in the U.S. to give a greater role to lay members, particularly women, reports Reuters. “It means valuing the immense contribution which women, lay and religious, have made and continue to make to the life of our communities,” he said. The pope has long objected to the idea of ordaining female priests, but he has called for them to play a bigger role in everyday church life.

This work presents a rapid, selective and sensitive automated sequential injection flow system with a capacitive biosensor for detection of the mecA gene (the model chosen for this study), which emerges from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. A DNA-based 25-mer capture probe was immobilized on the surface of a gold electrode which was integrated in the capacitive sensor system. A constant current pulse was applied and the resulting capacitance was measured. Injection of the target DNA sample to the sensor surface induced hybridization to occur between the target and the complementary sequence, which resulted in a shift in the measured capacitance (ΔC). The ΔC was directly proportional to the concentrations of the applied target probe with linearity ranging from 10−12 to 10−7 M. The biosensor had a detection limit of 6.0 × 10−13 M and a recovery of 95 % of the mecA gene when spiked in human saliva. The biosensor showed a promising selectivity. It could clearly discriminate single-base, two-base and twelve-base mismatch probes with a decrease in the signal strength by 13 %, 26 %, and 89 %, respectively relative to the signal strength of the complementary target probe. There was no significant signal observed for the non-complementary probe. The biosensor-chip could be re-used for more than 12 cycles with residual capacity of 94.5 ± 4.3 % and a RSD of 4.6 % by regenerating the biosensor-chip with a solution of 50 mM NaOH.

Preview: Bulls at Hornets
The injury-plagued Chicago Bulls hope a few days off to refresh will help them as they begin their push toward the playoffs with a road contest against the New Orleans Hornets on Tuesday. The Bulls lost two straight and four of five going into the all-star break, but they're still solidly in playoff position, sitting fifth in the Eastern Conference and just three games out of second. The Hornets will try to continue the upward swing they started before the break. New Orleans has won two straight and four of five.
The Bulls are still far from 100 percent. Not only is star guard Derrick Rose working his way back from knee surgery, but Marco Belinelli (ankle), Kirk Hinrich (elbow) and Joakim Noah (foot) are all banged-up and listed as day-to-day. It's the second of two meetings this season. The Hornets won 89-82 on Nov. 3 in Chicago _ snapping an eight-game skid against the Bulls. Chicago has won four straight at New Orleans, and the Bulls have actually been better on the road than at home this season, going 15-10 away from United Center.
TV: 8 p.m. ET, Comcast SportsNet Chicago-Plus, Fox Sports New Orleans
ABOUT THE BULLS (30-22): If the seemingly constant injuries have had any positive effect for Chicago, it has been the need to develop and display tremendous depth. The Bulls have five players averaging double digits in scoring and four more scoring seven points or more per game. Luol Deng (16.7 points, 6.8 rebounds) leads the way, and Chicago has an excellent post duo in Carlos Boozer (15.7 points, 9.3 rebounds) and Noah (11.8 points, 11.4 rebounds). Point guard Nate Robinson has started the past seven games and averaged 15.6 points and eight assists over that stretch. He has scored in double figures in 14 of the past 15 games.
ABOUT THE HORNETS (19-34): New Orleans also has an abundance of scoring options with five players averaging double-digit scoring. Reserve forward Ryan Anderson (17.1 points, 6.4 rebounds) leads the way and is one of the top 3-point shooters in the league. Point guard Greivis Vasquez (13.9 points, 9.4 assists) is widely considered one of the top candidates for Most Improved Player, and the Hornets have benefited from the return of shooting guard Eric Gordon (16.4 points). Gordon has been bothered by a sprained right hand but is listed as probable. Rookie forward Anthony Davis (12.5 points, 7.5 rebounds) teams with center Robin Lopez (11.7 points, 5.5 rebounds) to form a tough post duo.
1. The Bulls last won five straight road games against the Hornets from 1995-97.
2. The Hornets are 2-23 when allowing 100 points or more. The Bulls are 12-1 when scoring at least 100.
3. The Bulls are 14-3 since the start of the 2010-11 season when Noah and Boozer both record double-doubles.
PREDICTION: Bulls 94, Hornets 91.

MailSport are running with comments from Eddie Howe’s representatives claiming talks of a Eddie Howe to Celtic being a done deal is ‘premature’.
The quote dropped on Wednesday night on Twitter.
Re: Eddie Howe’s move to Celtic. A representative for Howe said: ‘There has been significant interest in Eddie from a number of clubs. However, talks of any deal being close are extremely premature. His plan remains to not return to management until the summer at the earliest.’
— Sami Mokbel (@SamiMokbel81_DM) April 7, 2021
This is not what Celtic fans want to hear. Especially when the buzz around the Scottish media is the manager is close to being named the Celtic boss.
There was a feel good factor over the Easter weekend after news broke of Howe’s potential arrival and the way things were being spun it was looking like Celtic had managed to stave of interest from other parties.
These comments this evening claiming to be from Howe’s reps is a blow.
Celtic fans want to know what the immediate future holds and while most will accept an Eddie Howe appointment to start in the summer, the fact nothing appears to be over the line has everyone on edge.
We’ll be keeping a close eye on this. Hopefully, it’s not a sign of things to come and this Merely confirms he won’t be taking over until the summer.

Written by Dr Aminu Magashi email@example.com
I am getting 52 years now and I am very rich. I have been under lots of stress for years due to travels and meetings, and my doctor recently confirmed to me that I am suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder. Please I need some details.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by uncontrollable, unwanted thoughts and repetitive, ritualized behaviours you feel compelled to perform. Like a needle getting stuck on an old record, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) causes the brain to get stuck on a particular thought or urge.
Obsessions are involuntary, seemingly uncontrollable thoughts, images, or impulses that occur over and over again in your mind. You don’t want to have these ideas but you can’t stop them. Unfortunately, these obsessive thoughts are often disturbing and distracting.
Compulsions are behaviors or rituals that you feel driven to act out again and again. Usually, compulsions are performed in an attempt to make obsessions go away. For example, if you’re afraid of contamination, you might develop elaborate cleaning rituals. However, the relief never lasts.
Most people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) fall into one of the following categories:
1. Washers are afraid of contamination. They usually have cleaning or hand-washing compulsions.
2. Checkers repeatedly check things (oven turned off, door locked, etc.) that they associate with harm or danger.
3. Counters and arrangers are obsessed with order and symmetry. They may have superstitions about certain numbers, colors, or arrangements.
4. Hoarders fear that something bad will happen if they throw anything away. They compulsively hoard things that they don’t need or use.
Most people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have both obsessions and compulsions, but some people experience just one or the other.
Common obsessive thoughts in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) include:
1. Fear of being contaminated by germs or dirt or contaminating others.
2. Fear of causing harm to yourself or others.
3. Intrusive sexually explicit or violent thoughts and images.
4. Fear of losing or not having things you might need.
5. Order and symmetry: the idea that everything must line up “just right.”
6. Superstitions; excessive attention to something considered lucky or unlucky.
Common compulsive behaviors in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) include:
1. Excessive double-checking of things, such as locks, appliances, and switches.
2. Repeatedly checking in on loved ones to make sure they’re safe.
3. Counting, tapping, repeating certain words, or doing other senseless things to reduce anxiety.
4. Spending a lot of time washing or cleaning.
5. Ordering or arranging things.
6. Praying excessively or engaging in rituals triggered by religious fear.
7. Accumulating “junk” such as old newspapers or empty food containers.
Some treatment options are;
1. Exposure and response prevention involves repeated exposure to the source of your obsession. Then you are asked to refrain from the compulsive behaviour you’d usually perform to reduce your anxiety. For example, if you are a compulsive hand washer, you might be asked to touch the door handle in a public restroom and then be prevented from washing. As you sit with the anxiety, the urge to wash your hands will gradually begin to go away on its own. In this way, you learn that you don’t need the ritual to get rid of your anxiety—that you have some control over your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours.
2. Cognitive therapy focuses on the catastrophic thoughts and exaggerated sense of responsibility you feel. A big part of cognitive therapy for OCD is teaching you healthy and effective ways of responding to obsessive thoughts, without resorting to compulsive behaviour.

SUBCOMMITTEE EXAMINES APPLICATION OF HYBRID TECHNOLOGY TO MEDIUM AND HEAVY TRUCKS
Washington D.C. - June 10, 2008 – Today, the Subcommittee on Energy and Environment held a hearing to discuss the application of hybrid technology to medium and heavy duty trucks. Trucks use more fuel than cars and rising fuel costs for trucks are passed directly to consumers. Nonetheless, current research and government support have focused predominantly on passenger cars.
In particular, the hearing focused on draft legislation proposed by Congressman F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr. (R-WI), intended to accelerate the process of bringing these technologies to the market. Mr. Sensenbrenner said:
"I plan to introduce legislation to help correct this imbalance. My bill will create competitive grants for companies to manufacture plug-in hybrid utility and delivery trucks. Utility trucks typically drive short distances to and from a work site, but sit idle for hours while on site. A plug-in hybrid truck would use less fuel getting to and from the site, and could operate without any fuel while on site. Ultimately a plug-in hybrid engine in a utility truck could use up to 60 percent less fuel. Delivery trucks constantly stop and go. Hybrid engines excel at this type of driving. These examples are therefore well-suited for demonstration and advancement of this important technology. My bill will accelerate research and help bring to market the technologies necessary for fighting climate change and reducing our foreign energy dependence."
Specifically, the legislation would accelerate research of plug-in hybrid technology in trucks by creating grants for manufacturers to build, test, and ultimately sell plug-in hybrid utility and delivery trucks. Mr. Sensenbrenner plans to introduce his legislation next week.
The following witnesses testified at today’s Subcommittee hearing: Mr. Terry Penney, Technology Manager, Advanced Vehicle and Fuel Technologies, National Renewable Energy Laboratory; Mr. Eric M.

Shoulder fired weapons could be classified as ‘anti-tank’ or ‘anti-aircraft’ that uses a launcher to fire the warhead at the target. The projectile fired include guided as well as unguided missiles and grenades. Unlike other missile systems which tend to be bulky and require operational expertise, shoulder fired weapons are small enough to be carried by a single person and operated easily with much less level of training required.
On the basis of component, the shoulder fired weapons market has been segmented into launcher and ammunition. The launcher segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rising demand for shoulder fired weapons can be attributed to several factors including increasing focus on close combat scenario, upgradation of existing old generation systems, need for man portable air defense systems, and precision strike on enemy platforms, among others.
The use of shoulder fired weapons in defense has increased considerably in the past few years mainly driven by the rise in urban warfare. Asymmetric warfare requires mobile and man portable weapon systems for swift and fast operations against enemy platforms. Shoulder fired weapons provide significant anti-bunker, anti-tank, and anti-personnel capabilities to ground troops.
North America is expected to lead the shoulder fired weapons market during the forecast period. One of the key factors driving of the North America shoulder fired weapons market is technological advancements in warfare platforms. Russia and China are the two major countries that are increasingly investing in shoulder fired weapons and related technologies.

We love active holidays. That is why we like to take our mountain bikes with us on holiday. Last year we went cycling in Rheinland-Pfalz. Not far from home, but a very beautiful destination.
We always take quite a lot of stuff with us on holiday. In addition to our mountain bikes, which we install on the back of the car, we also bring our hiking shoes, lots of (sports) clothing and camping gear. The car is so full. That is why we decided to purchase a rooftop tent. Now we don't have to cram a tent in the car, because we can easily transport it on the roof.
We were lucky that the weather was lovely. Ideal for camping. The advantage of a rooftop tent, in addition to being easy to transport, is that it sleeps a lot more comfortably than a "normal" tent. You are not lying on a hard, uneven surface. That is very welcome after cycling 50 km.

A man was convicted yesterday of murdering his wife and two young children 27 years ago but he took to his prison cell the secrets of how he committed the crimes and disposed of their bodies.
John Allen showed no emotion as he stood handcuffed in the dock at Exeter Crown Court to hear the verdicts and receive his life sentence. At 68, he faces the prospect of dying in jail.
Eunice Yabsley, 67, with whom he was having an affair when he killed his family, watched from the public gallery. Afterwards, she described the verdicts as correct.
At the end of a trial that made legal history, a jury found Allen guilty of the murders of his wife Patricia, 39, and children Jonathan, seven, and Victoria, five. No trace of them has been found since they vanished from the Devon resort of Salcombe in 1975.
Police reopened the investigation after Mrs Yabsley published a book about her life with Allen. Several officers in the case were in tears after the verdicts were given.
Supt Paul Davies, who led the inquiry, said: "To murder his wife that fateful May Bank Holiday was a despicable act. No words can describe the sheer evil of a man who, two nights later, murdered his two children in cold blood simply because they stood in the way of his desire to be with his lover and his wish for a new life.
"John Allen has shown what a callous and cold individual he is. He has not shown one shred of remorse since his wife and two children vanished." Yesterday the lies "finally caught up with him".
In court Allen, a grammar school educated former Army officer, was exposed as a philanderer, bigamist and fraudster. The jury of seven men and five women took nine hours to decide he was a triple murderer as well.
Mr Justice Steel told him: "At this moment there is probably no one who is not thinking of Pat and perhaps even more of the children. Only you know what truly happened in May over 25 years ago.
"Your success in disposing of the bodies very nearly thwarted the long arm of the law. You have kept your terrible secret." The judge said the "wild improbability" of Allen's account and his "characteristic dishonesty" had "rightly convinced the jury that there is no other possible explanation for their disappearance than that you murdered them. Some comfort can now be brought to the little band of Pat's surviving relatives and friends".
Mrs Yabsley, who had given evidence against Allen, said that although she had been convinced of his innocence at the time, she had "long ago" changed her mind and her "last vestiges of feelings" towards him had gone as she listened to him lie in court.
"I have no tears to shed for him anymore. I only feel deep sorrow." Asked why she had not told police about scratches on his arm, a fact she did not disclose until she wrote her book, she said: "I withheld this evidence to protect him. I may have been a mistress but that did not mean I did not love him. I was deeply committed to him."
She now believed he was a psychopath "and, like all psychopaths, he has no conscience. But he knew right from wrong and he has got what he deserved".
Robert Renshaw, Allen's solicitor, said: "He is devastated by the verdicts and continues to maintain his innocence." He said Allen was considering an appeal.
During the three-week trial, the jury was told Allen was always the prime suspect for the murders but, after an extensive police investigation, the Director of Public Prosecutions ruled there was insufficient evidence.
Allen was finally convicted on largely circumstantial evidence. There was no forensic scientific evidence and no witnesses. It is thought to have been the first triple murder case in British legal history in which no bodies were ever discovered.
Mark Evans, QC, prosecuting, told the jury: "Allen clearly had a motive for disposing of his family because of his affair with Eunice Yabsley. Patricia and the children were clearly in his way."
The jury's verdict has finally laid to rest what became known as the "Salcombe mystery".
Julian, 42, Allen's youngest son from a previous marriage, said: "I never knew my father as a young boy and my mother never told us about what had happened. There came a time when I was curious to see him and I did so but we have nothing to do with him now."

A Reverse Osmosis system is the best way to flush out out all of the impurities from your tap water, such as chlorine, sulfates, and other harmful particulates. Today, more Americans than ever before are turning to Reverse Osmosis systems to ensure that they’re always drinking safe, healthy, and great tasting water in their homes.
Removal of Impurities
Tap water is not nearly as clean as you might think. When you turn your faucet on and pour yourself a cup of water, you won’t just be drinking water. You will be drinking water that is filled with impurities and dangerous materials, such as hydrocarbons, detergents, sodium, pesticides, and more. Reverse Osmosis systems are so effective that they will remove 99% of those impurities so that you can be sure you are only drinking safe water.
Since the system removes all the different types of bacteria, metals, and microorganisms, the water will taste much better. Those impurities cause the water to taste bad, and even give it a bad odor. Now, you will never have to worry about how the water tastes because the filter is effective all the time.
Once you decide to purchase a Reverse Osmosis system, you will realize that it is very easy to maintain. The only thing you ever to do is change the pre-filters. And you only need to change them once a year!
It’s an unfortunate reality, but the water that comes out of the tap in your home is almost certainly not perfectly safe to drink. If you’re looking to enjoy the benefits of a Reverse Osmosis system in your home, then Ohio Valley Pure Water is at your service! We have extensive experience installing and maintaining water filtration systems, and we are dedicated to providing the best service possible. If you would like to drink clean, healthy water in your home, contact us today!

Zamek Base Game
Two families compete for control of the castle within which the game takes place. By adding tiles, you create a network of roads, meadows, houses and pigsties, over which you try to take control. Heralds, monks, squires and farmers will help you take control of the castle's buildings and earn points. You will also receive points for two items that must be present in every good castle: shrines and shackles. At the end of the game, the person with the most points takes over the castle and puts his rival in the stocks.
- 10 castle wall pieces
- 60 castle tiles
- 18 wall tokens (two of each tile pictured)
- 14 followers in 2 colours, and 2 family houses in 2 colours
- A sticker so you can sign your copy of the game!
The following are the main feature changes between The Castle and Zamek.
- The square (feature that separated a road into 3 distinct roads) is a fountain ("fontanna")
- The fountain (feature makes roads score 2x per tile, and looks like a well) is a stocks ("dyby").
- The Tower has been redrawn as a pigsty ("chlew")
- The Court is renamed as a meadow ("łąka")
- The Market, located in a Court, has been replaced by a Shrine or Chapel ("kapliczka")
- The 2 keep pieces have been replaced by family houses using a "gate" meeple ("dom")
Objective of the game
Two families compete for control of the castle within which the game takes place. By adding tiles you create a network of roads, meadows, houses and pigsties, over which you try to gain control. You have to make clever use of your subjects - heroes, monks, squires and farmers - they will help you take control of the castle's objects and earn points.
You'll also receive points for two items that must be present in every decent castle: shrines and stocks. At the end of the game, the person with the most points takes over the castle and puts his rival in the stocks.
Preparing the game
(A) Arrange the wall tiles as shown. The wall forms a scoring track (from 0 to 99). It is the border of the playing area. Note that several tiles on the wall have starting spaces.
(B) Place the 18 special tokens face down on the table and shuffle them. Then place 1 token on each defense tower (except those with spaces 0 and 1). Put the unused tokens back in the box (without peeking).
(C) Place 60 tiles on the table face down and shuffle them. Then make several piles of them and place them outside the castle walls.
(D) Take 1 family house and 6 followers of the chosen color and place them in front of you.
(E) Each player places 1 follower on the zero space of the scoring track.
Playing the game
The game is started by the person who was last in the stocks (or the older player). On his turn, a player may take 3 actions in the following order:
- Adding a tile
- Placing a follower into the castle
- Scoring points
1. Adding a Tile
The player takes 1 tile from any stack and places it within the walls according to the following rules:
- The first tile added in the game must be adjacent to one of the starting spaces. These spaces are treated as tiles.
- Each subsequent tile must be adjacent to at least one side of any of the starting spaces or to another tile.
- A road must be connected to another piece of road – both the one on the tiles and the starting spaces. Note! The exception is the wall. The road on the tile can be in contact with the bricks of the wall.
- Houses, pigsties and meadows can be added to each other in any way you like.
- You can add anything to the wall: a road, a house, a pigsty and a meadow.
- Tiles should be placed with their whole sides together. They can be rotated in any direction.
- If a player doesn't have the possibility to add a tile, he shows it to his rival, puts the tile back in the box and takes a new one from the stack. He then adds it according to the rules described above within the castle walls.
2. Placing a Follower into the Castle
On the just-placed tile the player may (but is not required to) place one follower from his or her supply. If the player doesn't have any more followers in his supply, he skips this action. When placing a follower in the castle, the player may place the follower on one of the areas on the currently placed tile: the house, the pigsty, the road or the meadow. Depending on where the follower is placed, it will have a different function.
Fight for control of the areas
An added tile enlarges a road, house, pigpen or meadow. If there is already a follower (of any player), the player cannot send his follower to that area.
Remember, it doesn't matter how many tiles away a follower who is already in an area is - he controls the entire area and no player can add another follower there.
Connecting Controlled Areas
An added tile may cause player-controlled areas to merge. If this happens, the player cannot send his followers to the connected area, and followers in the merged areas remain in their positions.
The player has added a tile with a pigsty, a road and a meadow.
- The player has connected 2 roads controlled by the white player and the black player. Heralds standing on the road remain in their places, and the player may not place a herald on the added tile.
- The player has connected 2 meadows controlled by the white player. Monks lying on the meadow remain in their places, and the player cannot place a monk on the added tile.
- The player has also enlarged the pigsty, which is not controlled by anyone.
So the player can send his farmer there.
3. Scoring Points
If the added tile has completed building a road, house or pigsty, the points scored are counted. The completion of the construction means that the area is closed and cannot be extended any further. You mark the points scored by moving your followers on the score track.
Points for a completed area are scored by the player with more subjects in that area. In the event of a tie, no player scores points.
A Completed Road
A player with more heralds on a complete road scores 1 point for each tile on that road.
A Completed Pigsty
A player with more farmers on a completed pigsty scores 2 points for each tile that makes up that pigsty.
A Completed House
The player who has more squires on a completed house scores 1 point for each tile that makes up that house.
After scoring points for the first completed house, it becomes the family house. The player places his follower symbolizing the family house on it.
Each time a player scores a larger house (consisting of more tiles), he moves the family house there.
At the end of the game, the family house is the largest house for which a player has earned points.
Gaining Special Tokens
The special tokens are placed on the defense towers on the castle wall (on the scoring track). Each tower covers 2 tiles on the scoring track (e.g. spaces 56 and 57). If a follower stops on one of those spaces, the player takes the special token and puts it in front of him (face up). However, if the follower passes the token space, the player does not gain a special token.
To get the special token the white player must score 3 or 4 points. His follower will then stop on space 56 or 57. If he scores more and passes these spaces, he cannot take this token.
- A player may use an acquired special token on his next turn or later in the game. He may not use it immediately after capturing it.
- A player may have any number of special tokens.
- A player may use any number of special tokens during his turn.
- The used special tokens should be put back in the box.
A description of the special tokens can be found at the end of the instructions.
Player's turn ends
After the player has added the tile, placed a follower in the castle, and scored points, the player's turn ends. His opponent takes his turn.
End of game
The game ends when all the tiles in the stacks have been used.
- Put the special tokens left on the points track back in the box.
- Then the players score points for meadows and family houses (according to the rules below) – they add them to the points scored during the game.
The player with the most points scored is the winner. In case of a tie, the players share the victory.
Points for Meadows
- Consider any meadow that has at least 1 monk in it - regardless of whether the meadow is completed or not.
- A player with more monks in a meadow scores 3 points for each shrine in that meadow. He moves his follower on the score track by the appropriate number of spaces. In case of a tie, no player scores points.
Points for the Family House
- At the end of the game, there are always at least 16 empty spaces (without tiles) left within the castle walls. You count how many spaces the largest empty area occupies.
- Then you check which player has the larger family house (i.e., how many tiles the house on which the family house stands is made of).
- The player who has the larger family house scores as many points as the largest empty area. A player moves his/her pawn on the on the track by the appropriate number of spaces. In case of a tie, no player scores points.
In this case, the largest empty area has 5 tiles. The player with the larger family house therefore scores 5 points.

The International Day of Peace, or #PeaceDay, is celebrated each year on 21 September and is dedicated ‘commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples’. In order to promote a culture of peace on an international scale, the United Nations Information Centre (UNIC) Windhoek taught grade 7 learners at Ruimte Primary School in Rehoboth, Namibia about peace, and the students wrote letters to students in South Africa, serving as #PeacePals.
Diving into the presentation, UNIC Windhoek asked what peace means, and together, the learners provided a multidimensional definition. The learners raised their hands and mentioned that it means ‘non-violence’, ‘love’ and ‘when people get along’.
Then, the topic switched to why peace is important. The learners listened intently as the UNIC Windhoek team explained that peace prevents unnecessary disputes and conflicts from happening and with that, ensures that people are not put in danger. Peace also promotes development and creates long-lasting, friendly relationships.
The students then learned that there are many organisations across the globe that promote peace, including the United Nations and its various agencies. Specifically, through the Department of Peacekeeping Operations, men and women from different countries are sent to areas where there is conflict in order to help the local governments establish peace and security with the aim of creating a safer and healthier environment for all people living in that area.
Besides UN Peacekeeping, the United Nations General Assembly has passed various resolutions and agreements which also aim to promote peace across the globe. These include the Sustainable Development Goals, which were adopted in 2015 and aim to promote sustainable development, eradicate poverty, ensure that human rights are upheld for all people and protect the environment. Through this, the SDGs promote peace.
The learners noticed that Goal 16 involved the promotion of peace, and specifically this goal aims to promote just, peaceful and inclusive societies. Although world leaders adopted the SDGs, it will take the dedication of all people for these goals to be achieved, including the younger generation. In order to spread peace and to play a part in achieving the SDGs and specifically Goal 16, UNIC Windhoek introduced the #PeacePals programme to the students.
The students were excited to spread peace by writing letters and being #PeacePals with students outside of Namibia. The students answered a few different questions on their #PeacePals postcards; What does peace mean to you?; What do you do in your life to promote peace?; and what is your favorite part of living in Namibia? The students also posed a question to their #PeacePal about peace in their home country.
One student wrote, “To me, peace means loving each other and caring for each other. I would like to help other children in order to promote peace.” Another student said, “I donate some of my stuff to kids who don’t have any toys in order to promote peace.” In regards to living in Namibia, one student said, “I love living in Namibia because of the people living here. They care for each other.”
These letters will be sent to students in South Africa in order to promote international peace as well as to help children realise that children all over the world are connected and have many things in common.

New Delhi: Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Thursday slammed Narendra Modi government over the country's foreign policy after the Maldives cancelled work visas for Indians. Gandhi, on social media, alleged that the central government was not about “agenda meetings” but mere “photo-ops”. The Congress president posted on Twitter and said the oldest ally of India is now putting up ‘Not Hiring Indians’ signs.
"Maldives, once one of our closest allies and beneficiary of massive aid, is cancelling Indians' work visas and putting up 'Not Hiring Indians' signs. This happens when foreign policy becomes about photo ops and 'no agenda meetings' instead of strategic intent," he tweeted today. The Maldivian government has put a ban on employing foreign cashiers in restaurants, cafes, and shops, according to the news agency IANS.
As per the reports, the World Bank has said that a quarter of youth of the island country is currently unemployed. Today, the government of Maldives said that foreigners could not invest in event management and production in the country anymore. The government said that this step is to ensure that local employment gets back on track.
According to IANS, Economic Development Ministry of the Maldives said that such investments will be based on a partnership basis with Maldives locals having 51 percent of stakes. The ministry has also ordered the existing businesses owned by foreigners to stop operations. As per government’s instruction, non-Maldivians are also banned from selling cell phones and operating souvenir shops among other things.

Just recently the ATO has noticed an alarming new trend in scam activity involving scammers impersonating tax agents and BAS agents. The reason this new scam is so concerning is because it is proving to be effective, in that clients are generally trusting of their representatives. It is important for tax and BAS agents to be aware of this and ensure that their clients are aware & can practise caution.
In the past we’ve seen other scams such as the ‘fake tax debt’ scam and this one is similar in that scammers will impersonate registered agents to lend legitimacy to their phone call.
The fraudsters do this by:
> convincing the victim to reveal their agent’s name
> often they will initiate a three-way phone conversation between the scammer, the victim, and another scammer impersonating the victim's registered agent or someone from the agent's practice
Unfortunately, there are people who have already fallen for this new approach. In a recent example, a victim withdrew thousands of dollars in cash and deposited it into a Bitcoin ATM, fearing police had a warrant out for their arrest. This was because the phone conversation with the scammers was so realistic that the victim trusted the advice of the scammer ‘tax agent’.
BE AWARE that as registered tax agents and BAS agents we will never:
> demand immediate payment
> threaten them with arrest
> request payment by unusual means such as iTunes vouchers, store gift cards or Bitcoin cryptocurrency.
If you are suspicious about a phone call from someone claiming to be your tax or BAS agent, the ATO recommends you disconnect immediately and call 1800 008 540 to verify the call. Alternatively, you can hang up the call and contact your representative directly to confirm the status of your tax affairs.
If you have been contacted in regard to your bookkeeping services, bookkeeping software or tax services, and are unfamiliar with the identity of the caller, please don’t hesitate to hang up and contact your bookkeeper on their direct number to discuss the status of your bookkeeping and tax.
To stay up to date with the latest scams (and ensure you don't get caught up in one!) you can keep an eye out on the ATO Scam Alert webpage here.

By averting the 981 sepsis cases and 172 deaths, the health-care system saved $50.6 million in 2018, according to findings recently published by Critical Care Medicine.
“We hope our work can serve as a model of care for other provinces in Canada and elsewhere,” said Dr. Kissoon, an investigator with BC Children’s Hospital, executive medical director of Children’s & Women’s Global Health, professor of pediatrics at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and president of the Global Sepsis Alliance.
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a body’s dysregulated response to infection. In 2017, 48.9 million new cases of sepsis and 11 million sepsis deaths were estimated, representing nearly 20 per cent of all global deaths.
There are scant statistics on the burden of sepsis in Canada, but it’s well known that a disproportionate burden exists where inequity in access and quality of care exists in Canada and around the world. Apart from sepsis deaths, about 40 per cent of sepsis survivors may be readmitted to hospital as well as higher odds of disabilities among sepsis survivors. While sepsis is more common in elderly people, young people are also vulnerable to poor outcomes from sepsis.
The British Columbia Patient Safety & Quality Council formed the British Columbia Sepsis Network in June 2012 to support the early identification and rapid treatment of new sepsis infections, prevent the development of sepsis and treat sepsis and sepsis shock.
The Network employed a model of distributed leadership to share resources, improve care, disseminate innovation and collaborate for knowledge translation. As of 2020, the Network included more than 36 hospitals and 300 members, including patient partners, frontline staff, physicians from various specialties, quality improvement experts and hospital administrators.
For this retrospective population-based study, the sepsis cases and deaths averted over time for B.C. were calculated and compared with the rest of Canada. The study considered the clinical and economic impact of the British Columbia Sepsis Network using the disease-specific occurrence of sepsis and sepsis case-fatality rates from a baseline of 2011-2013, which included the one-year period prior to the formation of the network as well as the initial two years of the network. Investigators calculated case reduction, mortality and return on investment up to and including 2018.
A total of 981 in-hospital sepsis cases were averted in B.C. compared with the Canadian average of 611 cases averted throughout the studio period. In that same time period, 172 deaths were averted in B.C. versus the Canadian average of 127 deaths.
Financial analysis shows that the British Columbia Patient Safety & Quality Council invested a cumulative $449,962 in the Network. The lower occurrence of in-hospital sepsis and mortality translated into societal savings of $50.6 million, or a return of $112.50 for every dollar invested in the Sepsis Network.
“The study’s findings strengthen a policy argument for large-scale sepsis quality improvement initiatives,” said senior author Dr. David Sweet, a critical care physician at Vancouver General Hospital, sepsis clinical lead for the British Columbia Patient Safety & Quality Council, chair of the BC Sepsis Network and COVID Therapeutics Committee and clinical associate professor at UBC.

I’ve always been one to love a good hat. Sometimes you just don’t feel like taking the time to fix your hair in the morning, and a hat is always a sure-fire way to cover it up and still look cute. I pretty much live in beanies all winter but when I laid eyes on the Suede Bohemia Hat it was love at first sight. I think it might be the most flattering hat I’ve ever seen – it looks good on everyone, and with everything. You can wear it with anything from a t-shirt and jeans to a white maxi dress. Plus, it has a wire lining on the inside edge of brim so you can shape the brim of the hat and make it look just how you want it. Here’s how I would wear the Suede Bohemia Hat right now:
I would use the hat to add a strong element to a basic look of jeans and a white top. I love the Oil Stained Destroyed Boyfriend Jean with their cool destroyed wash and relaxed fit, and I would pair them with the easy White Buttonfront Shirt and a pair of ankle boots – right now I love the Mota Metal Ankle Boot. I would accessorize with a couple of rings – pictured here are the Stevie Ring and Mountain Ring – and the Hard Bangle Set.
If you had to pick a current obsession from our website, what would it be?

Here are some more fun creations using the March Paper Pumpkin kit. The smaller note cards were cut into two pieces to be used as the background on these cards and the stamped images are made with stamps that come in the kit.
I used one piece of Adventure Bound designer series paper and cut it up to use on a few cards along with some scraps of other colors of card stock and Whisper White bases.
Little variations on each card...
The embellishments were not in the kit with the exception of the epoxy stickers (stars, hearts and arrows).
And one more project to share with you tomorrow!


How can I fix coil whine on my graphics card?
How To Correct WhineTurn Coverage / Replace Component Under Warranty. Take some time. Limiting fan speed of fans. Power Limiting, Overclocking, Underclocking and Underclocking the computer further. Tracking of inductor coils. Insulating the PC with sound dampening foam.
What causes coil whine on GPU?
As its name suggests, this high-pitched noise is caused by electromagnetic coils acting as inductors or transformers. Although it can come from many components, coil whine is usually found on video cards. Noise can also occur when the coil is poorly secured to the circuit board.
Is the GPU coil going to disappear?
More often than not, the coil’s WHINE will just go away/change to a level you can’t hear on your own. For most in the gaming scene, using a headset or moving the system slightly further away is a good solution to the problem.
Should I worry about coil whine?
Coil whine is nothing to worry about. It can be annoying, of course, but it’s not like a rattling motor or screeching wheel, noise is a byproduct of the normal operation of your PC and graphics card. Your system is not losing any performance or longevity due to the coil.
How do you fix a coil hiss on a PSU?
It may be the PSU or a poorly regulated/faulty PSU may cause a GPU to whine under load. One trick is to use a 2 or 3 foot length of aquarium air hose as a stethoscope to isolate noise. Or in a pinch, a long straw will do. Too many just assume it’s the GPU, before approaching the PC.
Can a PSU cause a complaint with you?
So YES, the PSU can be a factor in the components coiling together. The PSU can cause coil whine.
Is the coil of the reduction coil reduced?
If it’s bouncing at power limit and it’s applied and applied and it’s still hitting power limit, Whine Coil will get worse. If it’s not going to a power limit, it will reduce the same amount of the same amount that the decrease in voltage equals meaning, it reduces to less current and reduces the coil.
Why is my power supply screeching?
If your PSU is “screeching” either your capacitors are doing so because they are blown or running significantly, or electricity is charging inside the PSU. On a side note, if you’re not sure it was the PSU making the noise, also inspect the MOBO capacitors.
How can I reduce fan noise on my PSU?
Clean the PSU fan filter/intake periodically to avoid this problem. Avoid placing the back of the case too close to a wall or otherwise obstructing the PSU exhaust mesh in any way. Failure to do so will contribute to heat buildup and thus increase fan noise.
Why am I hearing these high pitched frequencies?
Tinnitus occurs when we consciously listen to a sound that does not come from any source outside the body. It is not a disease, but rather a symptom of an underlying problem. Noise is often subjective, meaning only the person with tinnitus can hear it. The most common form is a constant, high pitched ring.
Why is my monitor making a high pitched noise?
A bit of choppy noise coming from the monitor could be a loose or bad cable, a bad power adapter, or the TV itself.
How do I stop my monitor from buzzing?
The natural response is to turn down the glare with the monitor’s controls. That’s when the monitor may start to emit some high-frequency tones, most often described as buzzing or whining. The noise generally gets worse the more the screen is dimmed.
How do you reduce screen noise?
In general, follow these tips to reduce all forms of line noise and recover a clear signal: Use “balanced” cables. Plug your speakers into a different power strip or supply than your computer. Use a power conditioner. Don’t zoom in too much! Overuse of compression effects can often make the noise floor prominent.
Why do old TVs make a choppy noise?
In televisions, this high frequency is about 15 kilohertz (15.734 kHz for NTSC), and the transformer core vibrations caused by magnetostriction can often be heard as a high-level hiss. This is because the album was recorded on a CRT monitor (TV or computer monitor) within range of an unshielded cable.


2018 MacBook Air Teardown Confirms Improving Repairability With Adhesive Pull-Tabs Under Battery and Speakers
The repair experts at iFixit have completed their teardown of the new MacBook Air, providing a closer look inside the notebook.
iFixit started by confirming the keyboard on the new MacBook Air has the same silicone membrane under the keycaps as the latest MacBook Pro, as expected since they both use Apple's third-generation butterfly keyboard.
Next, they flipped the notebook onto its bottom side and encountered Apple's usual pentalobe screws that require a special screwdriver to unfasten. On the inside, there is a compact array of components, including a small logic board, a fan, a pair of large speakers, and a "radiator-esque heat sink."
iFixit proceeded to remove the logic board, providing a glimpse at the Apple T2 security chip, along with a Thunderbolt 3 controller from Intel, 128GB of flash storage from SanDisk, and 8GB of LPDDR3 RAM from SK Hynix.
Diving deeper, iFixit discovered that the two Thunderbolt 3 ports in the new MacBook Air are modular, and applauded Apple for this repair-friendly design consideration. "This MacBook is off to a good start as far as we're concerned," they wrote. "All the ports sit on their own boards and are easily replaceable."
Continuing the repair-friendly trend, iFixit uncovered ten pull-to-remove adhesive tabs securing the 49.9 Wh battery and speakers.
"The mere presence of stretch-release adhesive generally means that someone at least thought about possible repair and disassembly situations," the teardown says. "Are you there, Apple? It's us, iFixit. Have you heard our pleas?"
As first reported by MacRumors, the battery in the new MacBook Air is still glued into the top case — the aluminum enclosure that houses the keyboard and trackpad — but Apple will be providing Apple Authorized Service Providers with tools to remove the battery and reinstall a new one with no top case replacement required.
In all other MacBook and MacBook Pro models with a Retina display released since 2012, Apple has replaced the entire top case when a customer requires a new battery, so the change is good news for both repairability and the environment.
Last, iFixit confirmed that the Touch ID sensor is also modular in the new MacBook Air. According to the new MacBook Air's service guide obtained by MacRumors, the Touch ID button does not require a logic board replacement, but the notebook must pass Apple diagnostics in order for the repair to be completed.
While the new MacBook Air has improved repairability relative to Apple's standards, the notebook earned a low 3/10 repairability score from iFixit.
"The Air still uses external pentalobes to keep you out, requires lots of component removal for common fixes, and both RAM and storage are soldered to the logic board," said iFixit. "All together, that means Apple has an easy time with their knowledge and tools, but the average DIYer is left out to dry when it comes to upgrades."
Nevertheless, iFixit said it hopes this is "just the beginning of an upswing in repairable design" for Apple products.
