WWE NXT Report CALDWELL'S WWE NXT RESULTS 4/26: Complete "virtual time" coverage of NXT Season 5, Week 8 - Latest Rookie Match & Challenges

PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO BOOKMARK US & VISIT US DAILY
WWE NXT TV Results
April 26, 2011 - Season 5, Week 8
Taped in Greensboro, N.C.
Aired on WWE's website
By James Caldwell, PWTorch assistant editor
The cast of Season Five of WWE NXT (Pros):
-- Darren Young (Chavo Guerrero)
-- Jacob Novak (JTG)
-- Byron Saxton (Yoshi Tatsu)
-- Conor O'Brian (Kozlov)
-- Lucky Cannon (Tyson Kidd)
-- Titus O'Neil (Hornswoggle)
This week's WWE NXT episode opened with NXT commentators Todd Grisham and William Regal introducing the show. Grisham quizzed Regal on being drafted to Smackdown, but Regal wanted to keep the focus on NXT. Maryse, joined by Matt Striker, then introduced the Rookies and Pros in the ring.
With everyone in the ring, Striker noted this week's challenge for redemption points. Scoreboard: O'Neil with 13, Young with 7, Saxton with 4, and Novak with 2. For this week's points, the Rookies will be asked how well they know their Pros.
Round 1: Saxton stammered out a guess that was way off from Yoshi. This was some awkward television. Chavo, sporting glasses, wrote down "wrestle" on his dry erase board. Cannon tried to get close to Maryse before cutting a promo instead of addressing the topic. Novak was the only one to score a match here.
Round 2: What would the Rookie be doing if he were not on NXT? Regal talked up his past employment history as the Pros wrote down an answer. Young continued to play up his anger and frustration with his Pro, Chavo. Cannon again ignored the topic and asked Maryse how many times she threw up in her mouth after kissing Yoshi. Regal noted he now understands why Michael Cole turned the way he did after sitting through this. And no one scored a match, so Novak scored the points. That might have been the worst NXT segment ever.
Announcers: Regal and Grisham talked on-camera. Regal said he's trying to learn some skills and step away from being in the ring. The announcers then plugged Titus vs. Young up next.
1 -- TITUS O'NEIL (w/Hornswoggle) vs. DARREN YOUNG (w/Chavo Guerrero)
The announcers noted Titus is undefeated thus far on NXT. Titus quickly dominated, using his power to overpower Young. Young then trapped Titus inside the ring apron a la Finlay to take control of the match. Back in the ring, the crowd got behind Titus a bit and Titus made a comeback with a sidewalk slam. Titus dragged himself on top of Young for a cover, resulting in a nearfall. Young then came back and slapped on a figure-four. In Flair Country! The audacity. The crowd woke up a bit with some Whoos, then Chavo tried shouting instructions to Young, who became agitated with Chavo. Young then walked across the ring right into Titus's lift-up bomb finisher for the pin and the win. Titus really sold the effects post-match.
WINNER: Titus at 4:05. More tension between Chavo and Young, and another W for Titus, who should find himself in the finals of this show...whenever that is.
Up next: Kozlov & O'Brian vs. Novak & JTG.
[Break. Big plug for WWE Magazine, starting with a cover shot of Hulk Hogan back in the 1980s. Now, the first Digital Edition is online.]
In-ring: Back from break, JTG's music played to bring out JTG and Novak. JTG cut a brief promo before handing it over to Novak. He cut a promo on Regal, calling him old and washed up. Regal slowly stood up at the announce table and said his career might be over and he's on the wrong side of 40, but he's not going to let a little Muppet like Novak have words for him like that. Regal said he could take his jacket off and they could have a match right now (strong reaction). Regal said Novak won't like the outcome. Regal then removed his jacket and Novak told him to slow it down. Novak taunted Regal if he wants to fight him...because that's not going to happen. He said he already has a match tonight. Novak told him it will be next week. Regal smirked and walked back to the announce table, noting he's done that 1,000s of times. Kozlov and O'Brian then came out for the tag match.
2 -- JTG & JACOB NOVAK vs. KOZLOV & CONOR O'BRIAN
O'Brian and Kozlov ran over Novak with an early shoulder block that sent Novak to the floor. Grisham asked Regal to discuss JTG, prompting Regal to call him "quite possibly the worst person in WWE. A waste of space." Grisham acted stunned by the comment as they went to break.
[Break. Kong a/k/a Kharma vignette from Raw.]
After the word from Kong, they returned with JTG being worked over by Conor. Regal said it's not like JTG doesn't have talent, but he doesn't apply any of his talent. He said the prevalent thought used to be that his "former tag partner" was holding him back, but that's not the case. JTG made a come back on Conor and tagged out to Novak, who wore down Conor. Meanwhile, Regal vowed to turn Novak into a vegetable next week. Conor eventually broke free to tag in Kozlov, who cleaned house on Novak.
Kozlov landed multiple head butts followed by a powerslam. JTG broke up a pin, then Kozlov head butted him out of the ring to a pop. For some reason, Kozlov tagged out to O'Brian, who walked right into a big Timbaland boot to the face from Noval. It was good for the win. Afterward, Regal said that was impressive. Novak then taunted Regal ahead of their match next week.
WINNERS: JTG & Novak at 6:42. More focus on Team Novak this week, although the match didn't offer much substance. Fine set up for Regal vs. Novak next week, though. Conor looks like the first one to go this season barring something drastic changing.
Raw Rebound: WWE Draft flashback reviewing each of the match results that led to Draft picks.
Announcers: Back to Grisham and Regal to recap a total of 30 Superstars shifting brands after the Supplemental Draft earlier in the day. Grisham noted the Draft won't affect the Extreme Rules PPV line-up on Sunday. They proceeded to run down the line-up for Sunday.
Backstage: Maryse was shown marching down the hallway. She approached Yoshi Tatsu to tell him her purse was destroyed. She figured it was Lucky Cannon who did it. Maryse realized her shoes were inside the purse and walked off. Yoshi then approached Byron Saxton to tell him about the messed-up purse. Saxton ignored Yoshi's concerns and said he wishes Yoshi were as concerned with being his Pro as he is with Maryse. Awww. Saxton has Cannon up next.
[Break. Another plug for The Rock on Raw Monday night.]
In-ring: Yoshi's music hit to bring out Yoshi, flanked by Saxton. Maryse was already ringside selling intense anger and concern over her purse situation. Tyson Kidd's music then brought out Kidd and Lucky Cannon. Maryse was ready to kill Cannon, who pleaded with Maryse that he had nothing to do with the purse. Maryse wasn't buying it.
Lucky reluctantly slipped into the ring, unhappy that Maryse didn't believe him. Lucky then screamed at Yoshi, who shouted back from the ring apron. Saxton took it to the easily-distracted Cannon before Cannon came back with a boot to the head. Grisham brought up the Royal Wedding and Regal noted he had his invitation sent back. Cannon continued to wear down Saxton as Grisham noted Kidd and Yoshi were both drafted to Smackdown today.
Saxton made a comeback at 4:00 and landed a boot to the face for a nearfall. Saxton then tried a roll-up and scored another two count. Saxton followed with an arm-wringer into a slam and Kidd put Cannon's foot on the bottom rope to break up a count. Yoshi then came around to ringside to attack Kidd for getting involved. Yoshi suddenly found himself in the ring with Cannon and he jumped him, causing a DQ.
Post-match: Yoshi blasted away on Cannon before Saxton grappled him and landed a finisher on his own Pro. Next, Cannon grappled Saxton from behind and delivered his finisher. Cannon was the last man standing with Kidd. Cannon shot Maryse a look as Maryse tried to digest everything that happened. Cannon and Kidd stood tall in the ring, which Regal said that's what matters. Grisham plugged Regal vs. Novak next week as Cannon continued to flaunt for Maryse. End show.
WINNER: Cannon via DQ at 5:37. Good, intense end to the show playing up the now-weekly storylines on NXT. The bit with Maryse's purse was juvenile and quite silly, but it was fine for advancing the juvenile love triangle with Maryse, Cannon, and Yoshi.

The storyline and amazing characters in Alice in Borderland have never failed to impress audiences. Our curiosity, especially after the second season, has only increased. Spectators have wondered if there will be more shows like Alice in Borderland. And we’ve got your back.
There are similar shows, each with its own narrative. These shows have their own cast of characters, but they are exceptional. Alice in Borderland is a thriller show and the narrative revolves around an obsessive gamer named Arisu who finds himself in a place with no people except him and his friends. But then they meet others.
And things are more complicated than they first thought. In order to survive, they must win games. And these aren’t just any games; they’re deadly games. Let’s begin with our rundown.
1. Squid Game
Squid Game is the first game that is similar to Alice in Borderland. In fact, many people began watching Alice in Borderland after seeing Squid Game. Squid is also centered on a group of people who have taken part in a series of deadly games.
Everyone has a reason to win a large sum of money. And that also means putting their lives in danger. The games are actually children’s activities but the stakes are deadly.
If they lose, they die. That means it’s not just about the money, but also about their lives. In the end, there can only be one winner.
The next show we have is 3%. It’s also a thrilling drama about fighting for a better life. This series’ narrative is quite exceptional. There are a lot of people living in poverty which is known as the inland.
But there is another group of people who have chosen to live in the virtual paradise known as Offshore. Every year, 20-year-olds have the opportunity to enter the virtual paradise, but only after passing a series of tests.
The twist is that only 3% of them will pass the test and join the elite team. There are a bunch of characters, each with its own backstory and secrets.
3. Re: Mind
This is more of a psychological thriller. It’s also quite captivating. A high school classroom suddenly woke up in a hostile area. In a dining room, they are all restrained.
Re: Mind is quite remarkable because they are trying to figure out why they are being held captive and who is doing all of this. However, those answers reveal a multitude of secrets.
They also have intel about a classmate and must track down the captor behind the incident. They blame each other for the horrific things. Since the beginning, the Re: Mind has kept the spectators engaged.
4. Sweet Home
Sweet Home doesn’t revolve around playing deadly games but it does revolve around creatures. In the series, humans transform into deadly monsters that seek to kill everyone.
However, a troubled teenager and his neighbors are fighting to survive this unbelievable nightmare together. They must also save humanity.
The show definitely covers all of the important plot points and issues, making it even more entertaining to watch. But these savage monsters are unpredictable.
5. All Of Us Are Dead
Again, All Of Us Are Dead is about perilous zombies, not lethal games. A high school is trapped and surrounded by zombies. They never thought they’d see zombies. They must band together in order to survive this tragic situation.
The characters in All Of Us Are Dead are fascinating to watch. There are some bad apples, but the good ones outnumber them. This rapidly spreading epidemic drenches the school in blood and deaths.
6. The Purge
The Purge is not a show but it’s actually a film series that’s worth watching. There are several Purge movies with various characters and incidents. The plot revolves around a crime-free country.
However, there is something known as ‘The Purge,’ in which all crimes are legal for a 12-hour period. Criminals have the freedom to do whatever they want and will not be held accountable.
Murders, robberies, harassment, and other crimes are widespread. And the innocent remain inside to protect themselves from the lethal attacks.
7. Liar Game
Last but not least. Liar game is a series that revolves around a high school student that band up with a con artist for a ruthless competition. This is one of the best thriller and game series available.
Many audiences praised the characters’ roles as well as the script. Each player in the game is given some money and must manipulate the other players into giving up theirs. Each episode gets more and more exciting.
Well, these are some of the shows that you could watch if you miss Alice In Borderland. And you’re welcome to keep checking back for more updates like this.

The Prosecutor's Office of Novosibirsk, Western Siberia has opened a criminal case against unknown hooligans who planted an explosive device by the entrance to the German consulate on Wednesday evening. Police found the booby-trapped grenade on the stairs leading to the entrance of the consulate, which is situated in the center of the city, reported an officer on duty at the Krasnoyarsk-based Siberian Regional Center of the Russian Emergencies Ministry. On closer examination however, the grenade turned out to be a dummy, which naturally could not have set off an explosion. Yury Kondratyev, the prosecutor of Novosibirsk's Central District, thinks this might be a case of hooliganism, probably a politically motivated one. Law enforcers are investigating the incident.
The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation put the head of the contractor company of Russia's space corporation Roskosmos, Sergei Slastikhin, on international wanted list
"Washington operators of the sanctions machine ought to get acquainted with the history of Russia, to stop the unnecessary fussing," spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry said

Or, if you want to switch it up, try the sweet and spicy sauce from our Korean Fried Chicken, or keep it simple with Lemon Pepper Wings seasoning. Pro-tip: For the crispiest possible wings, pat your chicken completely dry with paper towels before seasoning.
Even better, let your wings chill uncovered in the refrigerator for an hour or two before patting dry and seasoning. This ingredient shopping module is created and maintained by a third party, and imported onto this page.
You may be able to find more information about this and similar content on their website. Season wings all over with salt and pepper, and coat the inside of air fryer with nonstick cooking spray.
Serve hot with blue cheese dressing for dipping. This content is created and maintained by a third party, and imported onto this page to help users provide their email addresses.
Pat the chicken wings dry and sprinkle generously with salt. Place the wings in the fryer basket, so they are not touching (if necessary to fit, line up the brunettes standing upright along the sides).
Flip the wings again, increase the heat to 390 degrees F and cook until the outsides are extra-crispy, about 6 minutes more. Toss the wings with the butter mixture to coat in a large bowl and serve with dressing on the side.
Learn how to make several kinds of delicious and tasty chicken wings for your family to enjoy. Chicken wings are always a fun meal idea and now the air fryer makes this even easier and faster.
Whip these up for Game Day, family dinner, parties and more and have everyone coming back for more. The wings are so crispy on the outside but tender and juicy on the inside.
I was hesitated to try it as I thought surely it can’t be as good as a traditional fryer but I think it might be even better! The air fryer doesn’t require a large amount of oil like a traditional fryer requires so foods cooked in the air fryer generally have fewer calories and less fat than fried foods.
You can stack them but more skin that is exposed the crispier the chicken wings will be. Remember, the air fryer works by moving air quickly over the food.
So in order for it to work correctly, you’ll want to keep as much part of the food exposed to the air as possible. This recipe calls for 18 chicken wings and while you can stack them, I wouldn’t recommend it.
Sometimes, I also put out blue cheese dressing and ranch for dipping. However, I recommend not covering up the complete bottom of the air fryer basket.
The holes in the bottom of the basket help the air move freely around the food in the basket so you don’t want to cover them all up or it will reduce the effectiveness of this cooking process. The foil does make clean up even easier once you have already enjoyed your food.
In this article, we are going to tell you how long to cook frozen chicken wings in air fryer. -Once you have preheated the air fryer to a cooking temperature of 380 °F, the next step is placing the frozen chicken wings to the fryer basket.
After 15 minutes, shake the chicken wings to expose uncooked areas to hot cooking air. The question that you are probably asking yourself right now is whether it is possible to defrost your frozen chicken wing on an air dryer.
The good thing about using an air fryer is that you don’t need to defrost frozen food items before cooking. If you love deep-fried chicken wings, but you want a healthier version, then all you need to do is purchase the Best Hairdryer.
The heating element is brought to a hot, reedy to cook state. The surface, where food is placed is heated, enabling it to work correctly.
Preheating eliminates warming delay, thus enabling faster cooking. Typically, preheating means that you are getting your air dryer ready to start cooking right away.
Research has shown that foods that are appropriately heated not only cooks well, but they are also very delicious. When you click this button, your air dryer will preheat to the required cooking temperature then notify you when it is ready.
In conclusion, if you have been wondering how long it takes to cook frozen chicken wings on an air fryer, then today you have the answer. AirFryerChickenWings are a super easy to make, and turn out amazingly crispy.
The garlic powder is a quick and easy addition to add another layer of flavor. Blue cheese dressing or ranch: The standard dipping sauce here.
Season with salt and pepper and pour vegetable oil over top. Step 2: Add wings to air fryer (affiliate) basket, trying to keep them in one layer as best you can.
Quick tip: The basket is likely to have a lot of chicken drippings at the bottom, so be careful tossing it too hard when shaking the basket, or you may splash yourself with hot grease. Step 3: When the wings are done cooking immediately transfer them to a large, heatproof mixing bowl (affiliate).
Serve with blue cheese dressing or ranch, whichever you prefer. To help get crispy skin, I place the wings on a wire rack above a large baking sheet (affiliate) and pat them dry.
Add a touch of olive oil to help everything stick and toss well. Thai Sweet Chili : Mix together 1/2 cup of Thai sweet chili sauce, and a splash each of rice wine vinegar and soy.
Add to air fryer basket, trying your best to keep them in a single layer. Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing or ranch for dipping.
Depending on the size of your air fryer you may have to cook the wings in two batches. I keep the sauce on low heat until I am ready to serve the wings.
I love serving ranch or homemade blue cheese dressing in these wings. I also like to serve it with a side of celery and carrot sticks for dipping.
Super crispy wings cooked in the air fryer then tossed in an easy buffalo sauce. In a large bowl toss the wings with all the seasonings including the baking powder.
Wings are super easy to make in the airfryer, and they came out perfectly crispy and juicy. Wings are always best served as soon as they are ready so that they are nice and juicy and don’t lose their crisp.
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can deep-fry the wings in oil or oven bake them before coating them in the buffalo sauce. These wings are great to serve as an appetizer with some blue cheese or ranch dressing, along with the obligatory celery and carrot sticks.
You can easily serve these up as part of a main too, alongside fries or a fresh salad. It’s so much quicker than oven baking them and the results rival any deep-fried wings you’ll try.
The air frier helps to lock all of those juices in whilst getting those yummy crispy bits. You technically can stack the chicken, but it will block the air in the fryer, so it won’t cook the wings properly.
Tossed in sweet, tangy and spicy buffalo sauce, you will love this classic appetizer that's super easy to make! Change time to 20 minutes, turning chicken over halfway to cook evenly on both sides.
Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings, and toss with a spoon, covering each piece thoroughly. You technically can stack the chicken, but it will block the air in the fryer, so it won’t cook the wings properly.
We don’t like traditional buffalo sauce, and prefer it to be a little sweeter along with the spice, but not too sweet. Tag us on social media at @easychickenrecipes for a chance to be featured.
An air fryer works like a small convection oven, it circulates the air, and evaporates the moisture from the surface of the food, which means you get a nice, crispy exterior, created by air circulation not oil. Trust me, you will want to buy an air fryer if it means you can start making these wings.
Some air fryers are fancy and will flip the basket for you halfway through cooking, but if like me yours does NOT do that, then take a second to shake the basket, or flip the wings part way through just to ensure even crispiness. Our recipe card software calculates these nutrition facts based on averages for the above ingredients, different brands, and quality of produce/meats may have different nutritional information, always calculate your own based on the specific products you use in order to achieve accurate macros for this recipe.
The basket is not as tall and wider than most in its size group, which is perfect. You’ll have a lot better results in an air fryer with single layered, spread out foods, then with ones piled high and thick.
We initially returned our first one because we thought we wouldn’t like the basket style. It’s great for cooking bigger batches (i.e. 4 salmon fillets instead of 2 or 2 lbs of fries instead of 1).
Some brands of Air Fryers will cook slower or faster than others, adjust accordingly. Air Fry at 400 °F for 30-35 minutes, flipping about 3 times while cooking.
If using a sauce, it is added in just at the end, otherwise it will usually burn before the chicken wings are cooked. Remember to set a timer to shake/flip/toss the food as directed in recipe.

It’s healthier, tastier, and quicker than calling the local takeout place. Bite into its crispiness smothered with sweet and spicy sauce.
However, it boils down to just 3 things in what makes truly delicious chicken wings. They either overcook it making the meat tough and dry or undercook it.
Do not thaw them in warm water as it precooks the chicken making the meat tough and dry. Buying fresh also gives you a selection to big and meaty wings.
Just follow my recipe and you’ll have the best chicken wings that are crispy on the outside and tender and well cooked on the inside. The most common is the buffalo wing sauce and there is nothing wrong with this flavor.
In a medium heated pan, combine hot sauce, brown sugar, butter, and salt and let it simmer for a minute. In a big bowl add cooked chicken wings and sauce.
You can thaw out the wings in the air fryer by setting the temperature to 350F for about 10 minutes. I’ve air fried chicken wings using a smoky dry rub.

Early Pregnancy Symptoms in the First Month
When exactly does the first month of pregnancy begin? What symptoms should you expect, and when should you expect them? These are all questions I had myself, and I'll answer them for you in this article.
Surprisingly, most women (myself included!) don't discover when their first month began until they're at the doctor's office having their due date calculated. While an ultrasound is still the most precise way to find out how long you've been pregnant, you can calculate roughly how far into your pregnancy you are based on your last menstrual period. I will discuss this method further along in the article.
In this article, you will find answers to the following questions:
- What are the symptoms of pregnancy in the first month?
- What if I don't have any symptoms?
- How many weeks pregnant am I?
- When does the first month of pregnancy begin?
- How can I be sure if I'm pregnant?
Symptoms of Pregnancy in the First Month
It's quite common to begin experiencing symptoms during your first month of pregnancy. However, as many early pregnancy symptoms are very similar to pre-menstrual symptoms, it is sometimes impossible to tell the difference. Though you will want to know sooner, the only sure way to know whether you are pregnant is through a pregnancy test, which you should take on the first day of your missed period.
The pregnancy symptoms that you may experience during the first month are numerous and varied. In addition to possible spotting and a missed period, they can include any of the symptoms typical of the first trimester, as well as symptoms usually associated with pre-menstruation.
Many of these symptoms are caused by the pregnancy hormones that begin to release in the mother's body when the embryo implants itself into her uterus, which is why some women feel symptoms so early. Below, you'll find a list of the most common signs and symptoms of pregnancy after one month.
Keep scrolling for detailed explanations of the symptoms above, including answers to many related FAQs.
This is also known as implantation bleeding and usually occurs approximately 10-14 days after conception. Implantation bleeding is typically lighter in color and flow than a normal period, though it's still easy to mistake one for the other. While spotting early in pregnancy isn’t unusual, you should still call your doctor if you experience this symptom. Even if it’s nothing (and often it isn’t) it can be a sign that something abnormal is going on with your pregnancy.
Can two periods in a month mean pregnancy?
Not necessarily. Having two periods in one month can happen for a variety of reasons, so don’t automatically assume you’re pregnant based on this alone. The average menstrual cycle should happen every 21 to 35 days and last from 2 to 7 days. If your periods are closer to the two-day range, you could easily get your period twice in a month (as if once wasn’t bad enough!). It all comes down to knowing yourself and knowing your cycle, as this will help you recognize if something doesn’t feel right.
In addition to being pregnant, here are a few other reasons you might get your period twice in one month:
You forgot to take your birth control.
You have fibroids or polyps.
You have an infection in your vagina or your cervix.
You have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome).
You have thyroid problems.
You have cancerous or precancerous cells.
If you experience extremely irregular or erratic periods, you should visit your doctor to see what’s going on.
Can you get your period and still be pregnant?
No. You cannot get your period while pregnant, even if you bleed in a way that seems like a normal period. Vaginal bleeding while pregnant can be due to a series of factors, some serious and some benign. Implantation bleeding is completely normal, and some spotting throughout the rest of your pregnancy isn’t necessarily a reason for concern if it happens after a vaginal exam, Pap smear, or sex.
If, however, you experience bleeding at other times during your pregnancy, you should see your doctor right away (even if the bleeding has stopped). Bleeding can be an indicator of something serious such as placental problems, infection, miscarriage, or an ectopic pregnancy, which can be life-threatening.
When is bleeding a miscarriage?
When it turns into heavy bleeding with tissue or clots. If you experience spotting that starts out light and becomes heavier, especially if you expel tissue or clots, it can be a sign of a miscarriage and you should call your doctor immediately. If you are eight weeks of fewer into your pregnancy, the tissue will look the same as it does during a heavy period. If, however, you are further along in your pregnancy, you may bleed more heavily and see the fetus and placenta.
Some women fail to realize that they have missed their periods because they mistake spotting for their menstrual cycles. This can sometimes lead to confusion with their due dates. If the bleeding is very light, you may have missed your period and be experiencing implantation bleeding. However, for women with irregular menstrual cycles or very light flows, this symptom may be misleading. For many women, a missed period is often the first noticeable symptom.
Are pregnancy symptoms different before and after your missed period?
Nope, they’re pretty much the same. Your symptoms won’t change much in the weeks immediately before and after your missed period.
This can also be a rather confusing symptom, but it may be more extreme than normal tenderness that develops before your period. This is because early pregnancy spurs a massive release of hormones that can cause breast soreness while your body adjusts to the changes. You might also notice visible veins on your breasts and your nipples becoming darker.
What does breast tenderness feel like in early pregnancy?
A lot like PMS. In the first few months of your pregnancy, your breasts can feel sore, swollen, and tender to the touch, as well as fuller and heavier. Unlike with PMS, however, this sensitivity can last for a good while as your progesterone levels continue to rise.
Is nipple soreness an early pregnancy sign?
It can be. Then again, pregnancy- and PMS-related nipple soreness can often seem quite similar. If your nipples are tender for more than a week, and this symptom is coupled with any of the others on this list, it may be worth taking a pregnancy test.
Are darker nipples a sign I might be pregnant?
Quite possibly. The darkening of your nipples—also known as melasma—is a slightly more noticeable sign (depending on your complexion). Darkening can also occur on the linea alba (the vertical line between the navel and pelvis) to become the linea nigra, as well as on the face (chloasma). This darkening is due to the increased production of melanin by the placenta. Women with darker complexions might not notice this until about 10 weeks into their pregnancy.
Some women experience mild, intermittent cramps during the first 16 weeks of pregnancy. Together with a late period, this might well signify pregnancy, though of course, these symptoms alone are not a sure indicator.
Does cramping mean miscarriage?
Not necessarily. Cramping may occur periodically throughout your entire pregnancy due to the stretching of the ligaments below the abdomen to make room for the growing fetus. Progesterone aids in this stretching. Cramping can occur in the first month of pregnancy for the same reason. Abdominal stretching begins early on (even though your embryo won’t become a fetus until the end of the first trimester!).
That being said, most miscarriages occur before 13 weeks, so it’s essential that you keep a close eye on the severity and frequency of your cramps, as long as any accompanying symptoms. If you’re experiencing intense, constant cramping paired with spotting or heavy bleeding, call your doctor immediately. These could be signs of a miscarriage.
Heavy cramping and severe pain on one side of your pelvis could also be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy, which can be extremely serious. If you experience this type of pain, call your doctor immediately.
When should I call my doctor about cramping in early pregnancy?
Call your doctor immediately if your cramps are accompanied by any of the following symptoms:
- Unbearable pelvic pain
- Bleeding (especially if it's heavy or you pass tissue or clot-like material)
- Chills and/or fever
- Intense headache
- Sudden swelling of the feet, hands, and/or face
- Nausea and/or vomiting that doesn’t go away
Soaring progesterone levels in early pregnancy may cause you to feel sleepy. It also takes a lot of energy for your body to cope with the massive changes involved in a pregnancy and to support a growing baby!
How long does tiredness last in early pregnancy?
Roughly 12-14 weeks. Though this number may vary significantly from woman to woman, this is usually the amount of time it takes for your body to adjust to the massive changes going on to help your baby grow and for your exhaustion to subside. If, however, this isn’t your first time being pregnant and you’re taking care of another child, it’s likely that you will stay tired long after this benchmark (potentially up until the birth of your new baby—sorry!).
How many hours of sleep do I need while pregnant?
10-13 hours. The National Institute of Health recommends that pregnant women get a few more hours of sleep than they normally would, be that in one single stretch or broken up into a night of sleep and several naps during the day. No matter what, while pregnant, it’s important to schedule your sleep just as you’d schedule any other part of your day. This will ensure that you’re getting enough rest, even though many women report feeling exhausted even after 10+ hours of sleep in early pregnancy.
Morning Sickness and Nausea
Contrary to the name, this can actually happen at any time of day. This symptom usually occurs about a month into pregnancy, though some women may experience it earlier or never at all.
While some mild nausea and vomiting may occur, severe nausea and vomiting that results in the inability to hold down water and causes weight loss (hyperemesis gravidarum) needs to be addressed by a physician. This severe form of morning sickness is usually due to increased hormone levels.
Is morning sickness a sign of a healthy pregnancy?
Yes. A 2016 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association linked nausea and nausea with vomiting to a substantial reduction in the risk of pregnancy loss. BUT, this in no way means that your pregnancy is unhealthy or abnormal if you don’t experience these symptoms. Many women with perfectly healthy pregnancy never experience morning sickness.
This is caused by your kidneys working overtime to process the extra blood a pregnant body generates. The pregnancy hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) boosts blood flow in the pelvic area, which also causes frequent urination. Later on, the same symptom will be caused by the baby putting pressure on your bladder.
Can I prevent frequent urination during pregnancy?
Sort of. While there’s nothing you can do to keep from peeing more than usual while pregnant, there are certain tricks that will help keep that number down to a minimum. Here are the top few:
Lean forward when you pee to completely empty your bladder.
Try “double-voiding” (peeing and then peeing again).
Don’t drink before bed (or at least limit your fluid intake before bedtime).
Ditch diuretics like caffeine.
While these strategies can be helpful, it’s important to remember not to reduce your fluid intake while pregnant. Voluntarily dehydrating yourself will only deprive your body of much-needed fluids and increase your chances of getting a UTI.
When should I see a doctor about frequent urination during pregnancy?
If you feel like you always need to pee. While peeing frequently is absolutely normal throughout your pregnancy, if you still feel like you need to pee even right after you’ve peed, you may have a UTI and will need treatment from your doctor. Other signs of a potential UTI are urination with pain, burning, or blood, as well as increased urine odor.
Did You Know?
In addition to making you pee a lot, hCG is the hormone that pregnancy tests look for. It doubles every 2-3 days in early pregnancy and has the highest concentration first thing in the morning. This means that if you want to take a pregnancy test very early on, you should do so immediately after you wake up. If this isn't doable, you can mimic these levels of concentration by not using the bathroom for at least four hours and drinking normal amounts of water (too much will dilute your urine).
Other signs and symptoms of pregnancy in the first month:
- Mood Swings: Since these are typical of PMS, they are often not recognised as a pregnancy sign.
- Food Cravings and Aversions: Most people have heard about food cravings in pregnancy; foods you've always loved might also suddenly become repulsive to you and vice versa. Like most other pregnancy symptoms, this symptom is caused by changing hormone levels.
- Bloating: Often, hormonal changes in early pregnancy can make you feel bloated. Since this is typical of a normal period, however, it can be hard to tell if this is a normal part of your menstrual cycle or something more.
- Headaches: There are many reasons for headaches during the first month of pregnancy; stress may be one of them, but hormones and the increased volume of blood caused by pregnancy can also be factors.
- Heartburn: In early pregnancy, this is thought to be caused by the hormone progesterone, which relaxes the uterine muscles as well as the valve between the esophagus and the stomach. Later on, heartburn is caused by the baby putting pressure on your abdomen.
- Increased Hunger: This is often described as incredible hunger, and often lasts throughout one's entire pregnancy. Unfortunately, the old medical myth that mothers-to-be should "eat for two" is entirely incorrect. Contrary to the popular belief that this makes for a healthy baby, in fact, it does just the opposite. Eating too much while pregnant may cause you to gain excessive weight, putting you at higher risk of gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, backaches, and needing a C-section because your baby is larger than it should be.
- Nasal Congestion and Nosebleeds: High hormone levels and increased blood production can cause swelling and drying in your nose's mucous membranes. This can lead to a stuffy or runny nose and frequent nosebleeds. For the same reasons, you may also experience bleeding gums during pregnancy.
Did You Know?
Pregnant women have about 40-50% more plasma and 20-30% more red blood cells than the average woman!
- Constipation: This is also caused by progesterone. Though this muscle-relaxing hormone comes in handy when you're giving birth, it can be a pain when it acts on intestinal muscles and slows things down a little too much.
- Feeling Faint: Faintness is another side effect of progesterone, which can also relax your blood vessels, causing blood pressure to drop and dizziness to occur.
- Backache: Back pain, particularly in the lumbar regions, is another possible negative side effect of the pesky hormones progesterone and relaxin, both of which can loosen the ligaments around your pelvis and lead to instability and pain. Relaxin can affect the spine as well, which only makes matters worse. On top of these hormonal changes, the change in your posture and shift in your center of gravity during pregnancy are other common culprits of back pain. The additional weight of your growing baby also increases pressure on the blood vessels and nerves in the surrounding areas such as your back and pelvis.
- Thrush (a.k.a. Yeast Infection): This is an unfortunate symptom, brought about by pregnancy hormones altering the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina. For some women, this is a very early pregnancy sign.
- Heightened Sense of Smell: This symptom is less common and is poorly understood. One theory for increased olfactory sensibility is hormones (again!), though this time, estrogen seems to be the most likely culprit.
- Excessive Saliva Production (ptyalism): This is usually due to heartburn, nausea, and vomiting.
- "Feeling Pregnant:" Sometimes you just know!
What if I don't have any symptoms?
Like any month of pregnancy, this first one differs greatly from woman to woman. The timing of that first pregnancy symptom also varies widely—both between women and between each of their pregnancies.
People have reported feeling symptoms of their pregnancy:
- One week after conception. You might notice some very light bleeding, known as "spotting," as early as one week after conception. This is caused by the fertilised egg implanting in the lining of the uterus. Although it is noticeably lighter than a period, people often mistake it for one, especially as spotting can be accompanied by mood swings, cramping, and breast tenderness.
- At the end of month one. Many people start to suspect pregnancy when they miss a period. This is often the first symptom, and by this point, you can verify with a pregnancy test.
- Months (as many as nine) into the pregnancy. Some women may not experience any symptoms at all during the first month. It is also possible to go several months without realising that you're pregnant, particularly if you have irregular periods. In rare cases, unsuspecting women have been admitted to the emergency ward with mysterious stomach pains only to learn that they are in labor. This has happened to someone I know, so it's not just something that happens on TV!
- At conception. Some women claim to have felt conception, either as a pain or as some other sensation. This is disputed by the medical profession, but who can say for sure?
What if my pregnancy symptoms suddenly disappear?
While it is not terribly unusual for some women not to experience any symptoms (or very mild ones) in their first trimester, if you had symptoms before and they suddenly disappear, call your doctor immediately. This may be a sign of miscarriage and should be seen to immediately even if you have no other symptoms of a miscarriage.
How many weeks pregnant am I?
We measure pregnancy timing by gestational age, which starts on the first day of your last period. This means the first way to guess how many weeks pregnant you are is to count the number of weeks that have passed since your last menstrual period. Since you are most likely to conceive two weeks after your period (when you're ovulating), this means that when people talk about the first month of pregnancy, they are effectively talking about the two weeks before you conceived and the two weeks after you conceived. So although you're officially "one month pregnant," you've only actually been pregnant for two weeks! Is that confusing or what? This means that though we commonly think of pregnancy as lasting 9 months, it's actually closer to 10 (roughly 40 weeks from your last period).
This strange convention is used because most people can't be 100 percent sure of their dates of conception, and this method at least provides a standard starting point. Though this will give you an idea of how many weeks pregnant you are, the surest way to know your gestational age in early pregnancy is to get an ultrasound.
So when did I actually get pregnant?
You are considered "pregnant" when your fertilized egg (which has already begun to divide) successfully attaches to your uterine lining. This process, which is known as implantation, begins about 6 days after fertilization and takes 3-4 days to complete.
Did You Know?
Up to 50% of all fertilized eggs leave your body with your period before implantation is complete.
Below is a video of how a baby develops during its first month. Knowledge of the biology taking place can help explain many early pregnancy symptoms, such as spotting.
The One Sure Way to Tell If You're Pregnant
Although these are common first-month pregnancy symptoms, it's important to be aware that they may not necessarily indicate pregnancy. They can also be premenstrual symptoms, signs of other medical conditions, or the result of factors such as a change in your diet or heightened levels of stress. If you experience these symptoms at an early stage, it is a sign that you should take a pregnancy test. A positive pregnancy test is the only way to be certain without taking a trip to the doctor's office.
When is the best time to take a pregnancy test?
Though some tests promise results as early as five days before your missed period, they're most likely to be accurate if you wait a day (or even a week!) after your period. This goes back to that pesky pee hormone we talked about earlier. If you take a pregnancy test too early, your hCG levels may still be too low for the test to detect.
Remember, your symptoms won't last forever!
If at the end of month one you have already experienced some (or many) of these symptoms and discover that you are indeed pregnant, it may be a bit depressing to think that you still have another 36 weeks to go! However, be assured that some of these symptoms, particularly morning sickness, mood swings, and tiredness, should gradually ease off by the beginning of your second trimester. In fact, the second trimester is usually a time of renewed energy and a general feeling of wellbeing.
Even if that's not the case for you, pregnancy doesn't last forever, and it will all be worth it in the end!

One variant comes with 120W fast charging! A one-of-a-kind for mainstream budget phones.
The Redmi Note is arguably Redmi’s most popular series, as it oftentimes stun the market with an aggressive spec sheet while also remaining a budget phone. It’s a rare occasion, and very few smartphone makers can compete to what Xiaomi releases for the Redmi Note line. Realme is its closest competitors with the Realme Number series.
So, what is Xiaomi bringing to the table for the Note 11? As you may have recalled, Xiaomi brought the SAMOLED screen down to the budget range. It isn’t exactly new however to see an AMOLED screen at a price of a budget phone is quite stunning. Not only that but the processor in these phones are usually seen in midrange phones costing Php15K (~USD 300). This time, Xiaomi teased that the 120W fast charging tech, probably the series’ biggest selling point, is coming right at the budget range. A stunning move.
This was first seen on Weibo, a Chinese social media site that is technically a fusion between Facebook and Twitter. Also, one would notice the date of the launch of the phone in China. It’s 28th October 7pm. The phone referring to above might be the highest end, the Redmi Note 11 Pro (if that’s what they’re gonna call it). One variant of the phone would receive a 33 or 67W charging instead.
Xiaomi practically revealed everything in its teasers, so watching the live may be a little redundant unless you want to know even more technicalities. Another feature they teased are the use of an AG Glass back and the AMOLED screen which they have retained from the previous series. Based on the Redmi Note 10 Pro, we can safely say one of these devices would feature a high refresh rate, as high as 120Hz.
In terms of design, it is almost similar to the Redmi 10 and Redmi Note 10, particularly the rear camera arrangement. One colour has been teased that showcases this design, called Misty Forest (roughly translated in Chinese). One poster revealed the contents of the top and bottom portions of the phone. Seen above are stereo speakers that are custom-tuned by JBL, and in addition, the company has retained the headphone jack, which means the phone is perfect for audiophiles who love listening to lossless sounds. On the right, you can clearly see the volume buttons as well as the power button. Of course, who would forget the Xiaomi tradition of including the IR port in every phone they have released, well apart for some units like the Xiaomi Mi 8 and the Mi Mix 1, 2, 2S and 3.
Though slightly obscure, it appears that the Note 11 series would have a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The company is teasing a series, so there is more than one phone being disclosed. Right now, the phone being teased may be the highest-end version, we’ll call it Redmi Note 11 Pro for now.
In terms of battery and performance, we can only go so far to rumours. According to latest rumours, the Pro variant will get the Dimensity 920 SoC. This is configured to 6/128, 8/128 and 8/256 trim options. The regular Redmi Note 11 will sport a Dimensity 810 SoC instead and there are only two configurations, the 6/128 and 8/128 trim options. For battery, the Pro would get a 5000mAh battery with 120W fast charging as mentioned. The regular would be getting a 5000mAh battery as well, but only 33W fast charging is mentioned by the rumours.
As seen on the photos above, the Redmi Note 11 would sport a triple camera system (the Note 11 Pro would more likely carry a 108mp sensor, like its predecessor), along with a dot notch. Nothing much is changed in terms of exterior design. According to teasers, the phone is 8.34mm thick, the bezels are 1.75mm and the punch-hole is 2.96mm. Nothing much is announced about its weight, screen size and other dimensions, but surely more would be announced during the day of its launch.
Expect that a spec sheet as well as actual Philippine Peso prices would be coming from us once the phones have been officially released here.
The Redmi Watch 2 has also been teased and is launching alongside the Redmi Note 11. Judging from its design, it looks like a copy of the Apple Watch series. The watch has been teased to come with a 1.6in. AMOLED screen and fresh new colour schemes, which should be announced, along with its other features and specs, on 28th October.

In Scene by Leanne Failla from RMIT
To begin is to say that there exists a beginning rather than simply further manifestation from a point of acknowledgment. In declaring this, I not only reference the thinking contained within my research project, but of an understanding of that which surrounds us being in a constantly active state.
Using the theoretical foundations of event and encounter as the core driver for this research project (particularly through the works of Gilles Deleuze and Bernard Cache and notions of the fold and frame), my definition of these terms becomes directive of my process. The notion of encounter brings about a type of singular reading, whereby a point of culmination is reached so as to render an acknowledgement of its presence. Through display of this defining gesture, we read its presence broadly with little consideration to the series of moments which lead to its formation. This series of moments is defining of event. So in suggesting the singular nature of encounter, the linking of such, through event, makes this notion moot. In being part of an ongoing motion of interactive event, encounter becomes more about an expression of recognition and the perceived intensity of that moment within the scope of the greater scenario of event. The terms event and encounter can therefore be considered as co-dependent, as event/encounter.
In referencing event/encounter through a physical example, the role of acknowledged moments of encounter within the context of event can begin to be expressed and observed, and its role questioned as a point of investigation.
A series of insertions were installed within Room 602 at the Sheraton Hotel at 27 Little Collins Street in Melbourne. The inserted pieces consisted of various props through the modes of model making, painting and film, each interconnected through referencing physical moments present in the room. In terming them props, the pieces become suggestive of their role as instigator within the scene rather than simply self-contained objects.
Through engaging with the space as a 1:1 installation, the role of scale and its relationship between the viewer, props and environment becomes conveyed as is fully intended. As the viewer navigates the space, the prominent presence of the props, and their sense of layering into room, suggests the viewer’s place as further layering and observing the scene on the peripheral. Yet the scale of the viewer and their physical relationship to the props reference points within the room is expressive of their scene back within the insertions, questioning where they belong in the scene within scene.
As an extension of the physical which we attribute to the scene, the role of ourselves within such is regarded as an expansion of continuous inflection, in that we hold the capability to extend the physical beyond the boundaries of perceived limitations. The influence through prior knowledge is imbedded in the playing out of scene, and through this our place in event/ encounter becomes that of affect and affected.

Kellogg has intensified its bid to tap its Special K cereal brand into demand for on-the-go products in the US with a new line of snacks.
The company, which already markets Special K snack bars in the country, has launched snack “bites”.
“We continue to hear from women that they want more snack options that are portable but don’t sacrifice taste or nutrition,” Matt Lindsay, senior director of brand marketing for Kellogg’s wholesome snacks unit, said.
Special K Nourish Bites are available in two flavours: dark chocolate pistachio and blueberry almond quinoa. A Special K Protein Bites line comes in peanut butter chocolate and caramel nut variants.
Earlier this year, Kellogg announced the launch of a raft of “nutritious” products in North America, insisting each new item was created “to specifically meet the diverse needs of today’s grocery shopper”.
Last week, Kellogg revealed plans to change the delivery model for its US snacks business to cut costs, “reduce complexity” and drive growth.
Kellogg also reported it had successfully strengthened its operating margins during 2016 but failed to halt a drop in revenue with more of the same forecast for the coming year.

Standing tall on her tiptoes, her hand resting gently on the ballet bar, Bella Morton watched herself in the mirror of the ballet studio. A striking figure of poise and composure against the backdrop of frosted glass windows at the front of the room, she eyed herself critically from head to toe, making ever-so-slight adjustments to her posture and form as she waited for instructions from her teacher, Ginger Grogan.
Music soon filled the room, and as Bella rehearsed a solo in preparation for an upcoming competition in Orlando — a piece she described as “sorta dark” — her face reflected only the seriousness she was trying to exude. (She’d go on to earn a top 10 spot in that national competition, by the way, among a cohort of nearly 400 dancers.)
Once the music stopped, however, Bella’s toothy, playful grins returned.
At 12 years old, the Mechanicsville tween is about to embark on the biggest dancing adventure of her young life, and if there are frazzled nerves behind her steely concentration, you’d never know it.
Her mom, Megan Morton, on the other hand, well, her nerves are raw and right there on her sleeve.
Bella has been chosen to portray Clara (of “Nutcracker” fame) in the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall in New York City this winter, where she’ll be sharing the stage with the legendary Radio City Rockettes. She’s one of three Claras for the show, which runs up to six times a day from Nov. 10 through Jan. 1, 2018. She and her mother will move to the Big Apple in the fall while Bella rehearses and performs.
For the home-schooled girl who’s been winning dance competitions all over the country since she was about 7 years old, Radio City Music Hall is a dream come true. But it’s not an opportunity that’s been handed to her or simply fallen in her lap. Behind all of the prestige of performing at one of the world’s most-recognized venues is a family (Megan Morton and Bobbie Morton, Bella’s grandma, affectionately known as “Gaga”) that has sacrificed more time, money and patience than its members care to recall, and a tween who’s pushed herself — body and soul — to the limits.
And they couldn’t be more ready for their next adventure.
Bella’s home away from home is The Dance Company in Mechanicsville, a studio that’s worked with her since age 4.
She studies under the direction of Grogan, her ballet teacher since last year, though it’s artistic director Glenda Sink who’s taught her since age 4 in everything from tap and jazz to contemporary dance. The company follows the American Ballet Theatre’s National Training curriculum, and Bella takes both group classes and private lessons. She averages at least 15 hours a week there.
Megan Morton said she put Bella into a variety of activities as a toddler and preschooler — dance, gymnastics, piano and swimming — but dancing is where her daughter shined. By the time Bella was about 7 years old, she was old enough to tell her mother that dancing was the only thing she wanted to do. From there, a few dance classes morphed into solo dancing competitions, conventions and way more lessons.
And Bella won those competitions — a lot. She earned dancer of the year in 2015 during the Hollywood Vibe Dance Competition and Convention. Her win earned her a spot on the 2016 Hollywood Vibe tour, which traveled to four cities across the country and ended with a convention in Las Vegas. (Aside from competitions, Bella is also featured in a current commercial for a water park that opened earlier this summer in North Carolina’s Outer Banks.)
Megan Morton noted that Bella’s dance winnings often come with cash prizes and scholarships, and its those financial awards that help pay for the constant traveling.
“She definitely wins her way to all of these things,” she said. Bella takes dance workshops across the country from other well-respected instructors, such as Miami’s Francisco Gella, all the while keeping her rigorous training schedule at home with The Dance Company.
Sink, the artistic director, recalled a younger Bella, at age 4 and 5, who seemed hungry for more than just introductory dance lessons.
Bella “was more into the element of dance, not the games, (and) she wanted a little bit more seriousness, even at that age,” Sink said. Now, “I teach concepts to her that I learned in college.”
Sink said Bella “auditions fabulous and she’s great under pressure,” and for those who ask what it takes to reach this level, the answer is simple: hard work.
“The child works incredibly hard and the sacrifice that’s been made by Mom and (Bella) has been enormous,” she said. “This requires a definite individual drive.”
It was a birthday surprise like no other.
The bright lights of Broadway were on the minds of the Morton women back in June, as Bella and her mother traveled to Miami for yet another dance competition.
Bella had auditioned for the role of Clara in April, and the unknown decision about her fate had put them on pins and needles ever since.
So as Megan Morton hung out at a Miami hotel by herself while her daughter danced nearby, she got a call with a New York area code on her cellphone. Her heart dropped.
Upon hearing the voice on the other end asking her if Bella would accept the role of Clara, “I just screamed and screamed,” Morton said.
In a sweet twist, Bella’s 12th birthday was the next day.
“I was so shocked — I keep pinching myself every day,” Bella said about being chosen. The road to this point hasn’t been easy, Megan Morton admits, but completely worth it.
“It’s a lot of lows and highs, a lot of tears, sometimes rejection (and) days when you think you’ve lost all your skills,” Megan Morton said.
Bella, on the other hand, can almost feel the heat from the stage lights of Radio City Music Hall — not that she’s slowing down between now and then to prepare. She was at DancerPalooza in Long Beach, Calif., recently, and is currently in Dallas on scholarship with The Dallas Conservatory. Then she heads to Arizona’s Master Ballet Academy in a few weeks before attending the Preprofessional Dancer Institute — again, on scholarship — in Santa Fe, N.M.
But New York City looms.
Grinning, Bella said, “I just want to go there already.”


AMD Comes to Play

The console wars may be waging on between the Sony Playstation 4 and the Microsoft Xbox One, but AMD is powering both. The PS4 and the Xbox One both feature AMD APUs with an 8-core Jaguar CPU and a Radeon 7000-series GPU.
While the Xbox One’s CPU edges out the PS4’s CPU, the PS4 leads the Xbox One on GPU specs. The Xbox One’s CPU is clocked at 1.75GHz, while the PS4’s is at 1.6GHz. The Xbox One is slightly ahead on GPU clock speed at 853MHz against the PS4’s 800MHz, but the PS4’s GPU boasts 18 compute units (1152 shaders) to the Xbox One’s 12 compute units (768 shader processors), a 50% advantage. Both GPUs are based on the Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture, and support OpenGL 4.3, OpenCL 1.2, and Direct3D 11.2.

Anyone who visits Blackpool Teaching Hospitals will now need to wear a face mask because of a rise in flu cases.
The measures have been reintroduced in a bit to protect vulnerable patients, stop the spread of infections and help prevent staff sickness. It comes as the cases of flu have risen both among staff and patients.
Masks should be worn at Blackpool Victoria Hospital, Clifton Hospital, Whitegate Drive and Fleetwood urgent treatment centres, and all other Trust properties providing community care. Staff are also asking visitors to adhere to social distancing, increased hand washing and wearing a face covering to prevent the spread.
It is often the case that anyone who had flu will get better on their own however, some people might become seriously ill. it is important if anyone has flu symptoms to stay at home and reduce contact with other people.
Blackpool Teaching Hospitals strongly advises people to think about whether they really need to come in to visit people in hospital and in other health and social care settings if they have flu-like symptoms or are feeling generally under the weather.
Janet Barnsley, Executive Director of Integrated Care said: “It is vital that we take actions that help control these infections and reduce the risk of spread. We are urging people to have their COVID and flu vaccinations as soon as possible. Patients are being hospitalised with both flu and COVID and a number of these patients are seriously unwell and unvaccinated.
“Throughout the pandemic we have been very impressed by the way our local community has supported our hospitals and followed our infection control arrangements.
“We would once again like to ask for their support with getting their vaccination and wearing a mask. It is not a decision we take lightly, and we hope people understand why we are reintroducing these measures for the safety of our patients.”
Walk in clinics and pharmacies are open to everyone in Blackpool so they can get vaccinated against the flu. If you are over 50 or have medical condition you could be entitled to a free flu jab.
If you are unwell and you think your need is urgent but not an emergency, visit NHS 111 online service where you can get help for your symptoms.
