Quantum reports up to 8.33% Cobalt in grab samples from historic mine workings at the "Nipissing Lorrain Mine" project near Cobalt ON, considers processing mine historic development rock pile.
PRESS RELEASE PR Newswire
VANCOUVER, Dec. 13, 2017 /CNW/ - Quantum Cobalt Corp. (CSE: QBOT; OTC: BRVVF; FRA: 23B) ("Quantum" or the "Company") wishes to announce it has received assay results from the recent exploration program at the "Nipissing Lorrain Mine" Cobalt-Silver-Nickel Property (the "Nipissing Lorrain Mine Property" or the "Property"), located 26kms southeast of Cobalt, Ontario. The property is adjacent to First Cobalt's 'Silver Centre' claims. Six separate underground workings have been historically mined for Cobalt-Silver-Nickel on the property.
The first phase exploration program included grab samples from the historic development rock pile of the historically mined 'Staples Vein'. 28 samples were collected, with 15 submitted for analysis. The average grade of the samples taken from the pile was over 2.33% Co, with a peak value of 8.33% Co. Several samples surpassed detection limits for both copper and nickel, and are currently being reanalysed to gain absolute values. All sample analysis is being completed by Bureau Veritas in Timmins, ON. The grab samples selected are samples and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.
Due to the positive lab results, Quantum is now considering options to produce cobalt from the historic workings.
About the Nipissing Lorrain Cobalt Project:
The Nipissing Lorrain Mine Cobalt property is located 26km southeast of the town of Cobalt near the eastern border of Ontario. Cobalt is the epicentre of past Cobalt mining in Ontario. The district is mining friendly, with a rich history of cobalt and silver production.
Property Status and Configuration
The property consists of 29 claim units for approximately 464 Hectares.
Access and Infrastructure
The Property is accessible by road, 26km from Cobalt. From north Cobalt, follow Highway 567 to Silver centre. After 26.85km turn left on Maiden Road and continue for a further 4.35km. The road passes through the property with the Staples Vein visible on the left-hand side of the road. Past production means power and infrastructure is accessible within the area.
Cobalt, silver and nickel mineralization occur on multiple fracture zones and veins within the property. Mineralisation is associated with calcite veins within close proximity to diabase sills. Mineralisation occurs as Co-Fe-Ni Arsenides, argentite, niccolite and native Silver. Silver grades up to 261 g/t, and Cobalt grades up to 14.75% have been reported from the property. This information is from Mineral Deposit Inventory for Ontario (MDI31M03NW00011 & MDI31M03NW00024).
Sporadic mining and exploration has continued the property since 1925. The first shafts were sunk into the Staples vein in 1925 by Nipissing Mining Co. Ltd. Underground mining continued until 1940 with numerous shafts and up to 5 different mining levels developed. Total production is reported as 2507kg Co, 1597kg Ni and 10,886kg Ag from 122 tonnes. From 1961 until 1967 further exploration, sampling and geophysics programs were completed. Since then, bulk sampling has been completed on the Staples Vein waste pile in 1982 and 1994. "Grades from bulk sampling ranged from 0.05oz/t to 1.25 oz/t Ag (for a 20lb sample)". This information is from Mineral Deposit Inventory for Ontario (MDI31M03NW00011).

Many of us working with Policy Governance have long advocated that boards should specify meaningful results in Ends policies rather than getting hung up on how to measure the results. What I hadn't fully appreciated was how significant precise statements of meaningful results are when determining what those same results are worth. That is, until I recently came across a Harvard Business Review article by Ali Jaffer and Mona Mourshed.
Cost per student is good to know, but it doesn't mean much if students don't succeed in the workplace. Job placement matters, but a high placement rate is meaningless if the participant leaves after a week or if the job itself is temporary or doesn't pay well.
From a Policy Governance viewpoint, this is an Ends issue, not because it is a program (programs are means, not Ends), but because the meaningful results to be achieved, who the intended recipients are, and what those results are worth are the three components of Ends policies.
But what jumped off the page at me was the remarkable shift in measuring the cost-benefit (or what in Policy Governance parlance we refer to as "worth") when the more meaningful results are required.
To illustrate, the authors describe a program with a cost of $1000 per student resulting in 50% job placement with an average of 60 days on the job in the first six months. The cost per employed day would be $33. The second program, costing $2000 per student, but with a placement rate of 80% and participants averaging 120 days on the job would cost $21 per employment day.
In spite of the higher cost per student, you don't need to be an economist to recognize the better cost benefit from the second program!
Students experience high on-the-job success rates at a justifiable cost.
Although the CEO's measurable interpretation of such an Ends policy might be different than the approach taken by Jaffer and Mourshed, it would be difficult for the CEO to justify the use of less meaningful measures such as graduation or job placement rates to demonstrate achievement of such an Ends statement. So, by carefully crafting the Ends policies to ensure that meaningful results are required, the board has removed less ambitious and less useful measures of results for intended recipients.
In doing so, the board should expect measures of the cost against the intended results to produce much more meaningful cost-benefit metrics. Could a CEO justify $33 per employment day when $21 is achievable? Ultimately, measuring the cost of achieving those results gives much better accountability for the use of the organization's limited resources.

Call us today at (304) 367-1862 for a free consultation with our shale gas injury lawyers.
When you are injured on the job, you are able to receive workers' compensation benefits. However, these benefits do have limitations and do not provide money for things like pain and suffering. Depending on the facts of your case, you may have the option to also file a personal injury suit against the person or company that caused your injury. These types of cases are sometimes referred to as "deliberate intent" after the West Virginia statute allowing for these claims.
Our attorneys have been fighting for the rights of injured workers for years. We have knowledge of how well sites operate and have resources to take on big companies.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a shale gas accident, contact us today by calling (304) 367-1862 to speak with one of our West Virginia shale gas injury lawyers. We offer free initial consultations and bill on a contingency fee. This means you won't pay us unless we obtain compensation for you. If you are the victim of a shale gas injury, you don't have to stand alone.


GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A University of Florida entomologist urges Floridians to protect themselves against biting mosquitoes because of unusually high levels of mosquito-borne virus transmission to sentinel chickens, horses and humans so far this summer.
Infected mosquitoes are transmitting eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) and West Nile virus (WNV) throughout Florida. Both of these viruses can cause severe disease in humans and horses, said Day, a faculty member at the UF/IFAS Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory in Vero Beach, Florida.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, eastern equine encephalitis virus is rare in humans, and only a few cases are reported in the U.S. each year. Most people infected with EEEV have no apparent illness. Severe cases of EEEV begin with the sudden onset of headache, high fever, chills and vomiting. The illness may then progress into disorientation, seizures or coma.
EEE is one of the most severe mosquito-transmitted diseases in the United States with about 33 percent mortality, and significant brain damage in most survivors, the CDC says.
As for WNV, there is no vaccine available and treatment after infection is only supportive. Most people infected with WNV do not have symptoms, the CDC says. About one in five people who are infected develop a fever and other symptoms. About 1 out of 150 infected people develop a serious, sometimes fatal, illness.
As of Aug. 25, 139 sentinel chickens in 12 Florida counties tested positive for the antibody to EEEV, Day said. Most of the sentinel chickens are in North Florida, specifically from Orange to Nassau counties.
During the same time, 165 sentinel chickens in 15 Florida counties tested positive for antibody to WNV, Day said. Counties with West Nile antibody-positive sentinel chickens range from Walton County in the Florida Panhandle to Charlotte County along the Florida Gulf Coast.
Three human cases of eastern equine encephalitis have been reported, one each in Taylor, Columbia and Volusia counties, UF/IFAS entomologists say. A case of West Nile Virus has been reported in a Levy County horse, and seven human cases of West Nile Virus have been reported in Bay, Nassau, Duval and Manatee counties.

Q: What is used for limiting docker container Input: Windows Host, Docker (limit 2 Gb and 2 Gb Swap) with Ubuntu and java/spring application inside. Application is not trivial and I cannot create simple prototype. The issue with memory leak. However all parameters are below the limits and I cannot understand why application is killed after some time under some load. I found numerous number of tools that measure used memory and I cannot link them between each other.
I have resticted all JVM flags I know and add monitoring tools like Javamelody. I used top, free sar, docker stat, vmstat tools and they all show that memory usage is not increasing. Which tool or which part I do not account?

Questions:

*

*Which metric is used as a limit for docker limit and for kubernetes limits? So that after crossing that line application will be OOMKilled

*Are these all possible (usefull) tools that we can use for tracking
    memory in docker container?

*Is there any additional hidden memory consumper that is not displayed here

*Why sar free commands is showing strange memory used metrics?

Observtions:

*

*Application is killed however limits are not reached after 6000
request (that I use as load testing)

*Application is not killed if I completely turn off logging 40000
request and it is fine

*Application is killed if I turn off console output and left only
file logging with rotaiion by 10MB

*Application is working sligtly better (8000 requests before killed) if I increase
DB max connection size from default (?) to 200. Is used postgres and
HikaryCP as connection pool

UPDATE (8/8/2017): The NJ Supreme Court issued its decision on August 3, 2017. NJFOG is working on a summary of the ruling and will post it soon.
UPDATE (5/2/2016): The NJ Supreme Court has agreed to hear the Firemen's Association's appeal of the Appellate Division's ruling that only requestors and not custodians can file an OPRA action and also regarding the duty to disclose records pertaining to relief payments.
Can a government records custodian bring an action pursuant to the Declaratory Judgment Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:16-50 to -62, to secure a declaratory judgment that it properly denied access to a record under the Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 to -13, and the common law right of access; and, did this requestor have a right to access records pertaining to financial relief payments made by the Association?
UPDATE (2/5/2016): The NJ State Firemen's Association has asked the NJ Supreme Court to review the Appellate Division's decision that there is no declaratory judgment action for public agencies with regard to records requests. Here is the NJSFA's petition to the NJ Supreme Court and a brief filed in opposition to the petition.
December 18, 2015 — The NJ Appellate Division issued a ruling today in the matter of Carter v. NJ State Firemen's Association (NJSFA) that only a records requestor can bring an OPRA lawsuit. The decision has statewide application.
Thus, the Court has ruled that the right to bring suit with respect to a records request belongs solely to the requestor, regardless of whether the records request is made under OPRA or the common law right of access.


On 5 January, the Government of Estonia presented a draft amendment to the law concerning natural gas. The parliamentary committee on the economy has received it positively, and the approval of parliament should also be expected. The centre-right government is beginning the process of separating of the sale and transmission of gas, in accordance with the guidelines of the EU's Third Energy Package; this requires the entities involved in the production, transmission and sale of natural gas to be separated from one another (a process known as 'unbundling'). Estonia is to complete this procedure in 2015. Lithuania plans to implement similar legal changes as early as 2013, but Latvia has not yet taken such steps (the EU has made an exception for the Baltic states, so they can delay the unbundling process until their networks are connected to any other EU member state except Finland).
The changes currently being adopted in Estonia will apply to the monopoly gas company Eesti Gaas, in which Russia's Gazprom is the main shareholder (with 37.02% of the shares) and principal supplier. Other shareholders in the company are Germany's E.ON AG (33.6%), Finland's Fortum OYJ (17.7%) and Itera Latvija, a company registered in Latvia (9.8%). Eesti Gaas will be required to sell its transmission grid (which are valued at €120 million, a figure the shareholders deem a significant underestimation of their value); otherwise, it will face a fine of €1.2 million, and its pipelines may be nationalised.
The unbundling of ownership will create a basis for competition on the gas market, strengthen Estonia's energy security, and reduce its gas consumers' dependence on the suppliers. Competition may also help to reduce the high gas prices persistent on the Estonian market.
As the main supplier of gas to Estonia (as well as Latvia and Lithuania), and the controller of the transmission network, Gazprom has blocked any diversification of supplies. The need to use the pipelines which Gazprom controls has made the governments' and private investors' initiative to develop local gas infrastructure – which would allow the supply of raw material from other sources (such as an LNG terminal or a pipeline to Finland) – a very risky proposition. Estonia is currently learning from Lithuania's experience; Lithuania has decided to start detaching the ownership of the national gas monopoly Lietuvos Dujos, which Gazprom also controls. This has allowed its government to initiate a project of a small LNG terminal in Klaipeda, and to apply for EU funds for a gas link between Lithuania and Poland.
These changes mean that Estonia's government will come into dispute with the shareholders of Eesti Gaas. We should expect that, as in Lithuania, the Russian and German companies will argue that their positions on the gas market will not hinder competition. Gazprom would probably fight for its rights through the courts. In the dispute with Lithuania, it appealed for arbitration in Stockholm twice. On the first occasion, the court dismissed the action, but Lithuania's costs from participating in the legal dispute with Gazprom were high; the government assigned up to €4 million for that purpose.
These changes to the gas market will force the existing monopoly companies in Lithuania and Estonia to strengthen their positions on the future gas market. In early January Eesti Gaas (as Lietuvos Dujos had done a month previously) made a deal with Finland's Gasum OY as a partner on creating a national a gas exchange and also developing the regional gas market covering the Baltic States and Finland . This may be an attempt to gain control over the upcoming liberalised sales market, which should compensate the monopolists' shareholders for any possible losses caused by the loss of the transmission networks.


A Northern Saw-whet Owl was banded near Milner in Lamar County, Georgia on 11/30.
Good In and Near Georgia Birding!
The NGR is under renovation!
Working to update the site, Completely New though is Page 11 Favorite eBird Checklists or Box Site Video Folders! Most links to Georgia Birders Online (GABO-L) are broken due to GABO upgrades, or now require a GABO login to access due to implementation of greater security.
At any time a bird from the other side or end of the continent, or from half way around the world, may show up anywhere! Yellow-billed Loon, Northern Lapwing, Ivory Gull, Green-breasted Mango, and Red-faced Warbler in Georgia! Tufted Duck and Sharp-tailed Sandpiper in North Carolina! Greater Sand-Plover and Variegated Flycatcher in Florida! It just never ceases to amaze! Just when you think that it's been so long since you have seen or heard of a really good bird, something incredible can happen!
Welcome to The NGR 2.0! Now more smartphone and mobile device friendly! Try the Mobile version!
The NGR - A U.S. Regional RBA, A Place and Gateway for Georgia Birding Information and Resources !!!
* The Near Georgia Report (NGR) serves to strive to provide as comprehensive, complete, and as timely as possible regional Rare Bird Alert (RBA) coverage of the publicly reported rare, casual (occasional), or accidental birds (and sometimes from a Georgia birder's perspective) which are being reported currently in southeastern states which are near Georgia (GA), usually Florida (FL), Alabama (AL), Mississippi (MS), Tennessee (TN), North Carolina (NC), and South Carolina (SC), and exceptionally, from regional locations further afield. Ultra-rarities for Georgia are posted, and other Georgia sightings may be posted at times as well.
Bird sighting reports from at least 12 birding enthusiast internet listservs, groups, rare bird alerts, and birdmail sites in the 7 most southeastern states are sourced and linked to from The NGR, and on as daily a basis as is possible.
The NGR does not attest to the validity or accuracy of all reports, or directions, etc., contained or referenced herein.
The NGR also works to provide a place for, and a gateway to, as much great Georgia Birding Information and Resources as possible.
* See Modus Operandi section for mode descriptions.

A BIG THANK YOU to EVERYONE in the NGR region who works to ensure that their sightings are reported and made public on the region's birding listservs and group sites so that anyone can enjoy and greatly benefit from them! Sometimes reports are relayed through even several folks in order to get them public quickly, and so it can be quite a team effort as well! Thanks to All!
REGULAR MODE - Exhaustive, every post from the source internet listservs, groups, rare bird alerts, and birdmail sites is examined and all rare, casual, and accidental birds for the region are posted to The NGR as possible.
CASUAL MODE - All posts from the source internet listservs, groups, rare bird alerts, and birdmail sites are not always examined, and usually only American Birding Association (ABA) rarity Code 3 (rare), 4 (casual), and 5 (accidental) birds in the region are posted to The NGR. As many ABA rarity Code 1 and 2 birds which are casual or accidental to the NGR region are also posted as possible.
RETIRED MODE - The NGR RBA has been retired and is not operational.
The NGR Ticker provides some highlights from the last week or so, by post date and state.
UPDATES and comments may be added to posts!
Inappropriate comments or topics should not be posted. Examples of such include: topics or comments not related to birding, political discussion; general conservation issues; and commercial messages in which the poster has an interest; virus alerts; etc. Contact the blog owner prior to posting your comment if in doubt about its appropriateness.
Many original sighting reporters often post their sightings later than the actual day and/or hour of the sighting. Also, it's not always possible to post all sightings to The NGR on the day that they are originally posted online. NGR posts often report sightings made on previous days, linking to sighting reports originally made on dates prior to the date of the NGR post.
The NGR always strives for as timely as reporting as is possible, with ABA Checklist Code 3, 4, and 5 birds always the priority. Currently only bird names for these birds are capitalized in NGR posts.
Bird reports are never posted twice, unless made in subsequent years. For example, if a species is NGR reported 5 times in a given week, or even twice in one day, it means that the species was NGR reported for 5 different locations that week, and NGR reported for 2 different locations on that day.
Some particularly noteworthy birds may be listed for the duration of the current year, by NGR post date and state, in the News and Updates section above The Sidebar.
RELOCATIONS of some great birds are posted as UPDATES and listed in the News and Updates section. Updated posts are marked with a U at the end of the post name in the list. Not all relocations are listed or constantly maintained.
All Pelagic species are usually reported when found inland, onshore, or close inshore, when the RBA is in Casual Mode fewer of these may be reported.
Florida American Flamingos and Smooth-billed Anis may be reported. Other Florida and south Florida specialties are usually not reported unless well north of their usual range, and/or very near Georgia.
Retractions of sightings by the original observer(s), as well as Rescindings of sightings by consensus or authority, are recognized. If a sighting is retracted or rescinded the original post is deleted from The NGR, and all entries regarding the retracted or rescinded sighting are removed from all sections and components of The NGR. Notice of the removal may be listed in The NGR Ticker temporarily.
At the end of each month a Monthly Summary post will be made to Georgia Birders Online (GABO-L).
Browsing the NGR Running Chronological List, on NGR Page 1 (see above), is a quick way to see the list of birds reported for the current year, by post date and state.

MissBird (The birding listserv for Mississippi) does not have an easily accessible permanent archive that can be accessed with a web browser. There is a way to download permanent post archives from MissBird but you cannot view them until after you download them. The Mississippi Ornithological Society has information on their website (see the link on The Sidebar) on how to join MissBird. You can email the administrator of MissBird to find out how to download the MissBird post archives.
The American Birding Association's (ABA) Birding News (BN) posts the MissBird posts, and The NGR references ABA BN for MissBird posts. However, the MissBird posts on ABA BN roll off of ABA BN after 30 days and cannot be retrieved or referenced further.
Unless you subscribe to MissBird and keep the emails, or keep the ABA BN posts somehow, any information from the ABA BN MissBird posts needed for contacting or emailing MissBird posters concerning their sightings, etc., should be collected quickly or else it will be lost as soon as the ABA BN MissBird posts roll off of ABA BN. ABA BN holds the last 30 days of MissBird posts.
CarolinaBirds (The birding listserv for both North Carolina and South Carolina) uses an Archive Access Checkpoint to access their post archives. When clicking or tapping on a link to CarolinaBirds from an NGR post, the first time in a session, you will hit the Archive Access Checkpoint instead of the desired post. Click or tap on the "Let me in to the archives" button. You will then be entered into the archives. You can search for the post from there or you can go back and click or tap the post link in the NGR post again and the related post should open from CarolinaBirds. This is a security feature of CarolinaBirds.

Georgia's first, and arguably the rarest bird to be seen in Georgia in the 21st century, also the most southeastern record for North America! Photo 2/2/08, only the 3rd U.S. record ever outside of south Texas! This immature bird showed up the week of 10/21/07 at the home of Marshall and Laurie Jackson in Dublin, GA, and was banded on the 29th. The hummer was last reported from the site on 4/4/08! The young male acquired much of his adult body plumage before departing! More, and even later, photos can be seen in the Favorite Georgia Birding Photos GREM sections! Photos by Rachel Cass.

Rare - Usually regularly occurring within normal range. May be seen annually, usually during a season, in very small numbers, and usually only a few times each year!
Casual, or Occasional - Often or usually out of normal range when found. Found irregularly or infrequently, less to much less than annually, and should never be expected. A good example might be every 2-4 years or 3-6 times in a decade!!
Accidental - Usually severely out of normal range when found. Very sporadic, with potentially very long periods between sightings. An example might be 10 sightings in 50 years, or maybe less than 5 total sighting records ever. Not even always seen every decade!!!
Click or tap here, from my annotated Georgia checklist, under special circumstances good Georgia birds which are more common may be reported.
Beyond candidate birds from the Georgia checklist, other rare, casual (occasional), or accidental species in the region are regularly reported as well! Under special circumstances good birds which are more common may be reported.
Carter's Reregulation Lake, GA, 3/23/10 - 2-04 (a six year old male) and his mate 46-07 (a three year old female). They had recently left Florida on migration north back to Wisconsin. Photo and text by Joshua Spence. Click or tap on photo for the full report.
Many folks know that the only naturally occurring population of the endangered Whooping Crane (the tallest bird in North America) is the small flock which migrates south in the fall from Canada's Wood Buffalo National Park to its wintering grounds at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in Texas, and that in spring migrates back to the site in Canada to nest and breed. The total number of wild birds fluctuates and is probably still less than 400 right now.
Reintroduction efforts in the eastern United States have resulted in very small migratory and non-migratory populations of the cranes in the east. Tremendous efforts have been sustained by many organizations such as the International Whooping Crane Recovery Team, the International Crane Foundation, Operation Migration, and the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership, as well as by many government agencies, and by others, to work for the reintroduction and protection of the species. Single cranes or very small groups are seen annually in parts of the eastern United States due to these efforts and the birds are often in the company of Sandhill Cranes.
In order for Whooping Cranes to make a successful comeback from being endangered it is vitally important for them that everyone understand and respect their fragile status and comply with some observing guidelines when the birds are found during migration or in their non-migratory territories. Guidelines say that if a Whooping Crane is found it's best to quietly observe from a distance, and some even recommend to keep 600 feet or more away from the birds, not disturbing, or pressuring them in any way. Trying to remain as concealed as possible while observing them is a good idea, but concealment shouldn't be used to approach them.
Reporting their location and leg band information, to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and to local department of natural resources wildlife officials is requested. Also, reporting Whooping Crane sightings to various Whooping Crane related organizations via the reporting links on their websites is very important to all of the folks who conduct sustaining efforts to support the potential comeback and recovery of the crane in the wild. More Whooping Cranes may eventually be seen in the Southeast if we all work to recognize and respect their current delicate status and to promote their welfare.

Captain Brooks Good and... Me !
8/7/10, Here is Captain Brooks Good still giddy with excitement after I had just passed on to him the grand sum of all of my seafaring and birding wisdom and knowledge! I thought this might take a while on the way up the Intracoastal Waterway to the Altamaha Sound but it looks like we only made it about 3 feet from the dock before it was all over?! What a fantastic trip and Captain, the thought of mutiny never occurred to any of us, and 4 of our target Long-billed Curlews were found!

All of the great albatross species and subspecies are listed as Threatened by the IUCN, the decline of the great albatrosses is thought to mainly be due to the impact that longline fishing is having on the birds.

the policy can also cover damage to your vehicle caused by something other than a collision, such as fire, theft, flood damage and glass breakage.
To make an informed choice, it is important to understand the parts of the policy shown below, how each responds when there is a claim and the various options available within each part.
Liability coverage responds when you are legally responsible for injuries to other people or damage to the property of others.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) pays for medical expenses you and certain other individuals incur arising from a private passenger auto accident. In addition, this part of the policy can reimburse you for certain expenses such as lost wages and the need to hire someone to assist in the care of your home or family (essential services).
Additional Personal Injury Protection provides options to increase loss of income limits, essential services, funeral expense and death benefit.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage pays for your bodily injury or property damage caused by another driver either without insurance or without adequate insurance coverage.
Collision and Other Than Collision coverage pay for damage to your automobile. You can purchase both or only Other Than Collision coverage for each vehicle you own. If you have an auto loan or lease the vehicle, you will likely be required to purchase both.
Collision coverage insures your vehicle against damage caused by collision with another vehicle or object as well as rollover.
Both coverages include a deductible, which can range from $100 to $2,000. If your car is damaged, the insurance company pays only for the damage in excess of the deductible you selected.
Optional coverage includes towing, rental reimbursement, electronic equipment, customized equipment and extended nonowned coverage.

Mrs Helicopter Writes: I'm not FAT! I'm PREGNANT! Ok I am fat too.
I'm not FAT! I'm PREGNANT! Ok I am fat too.
Hey you guys! I'm back. I've had a slightly longer absence than I meant to. It's a combination of family shiz to sort out and money worries….something you're probably all familiar with right now. But both seem to be back on track now so my distracted mind can come back to the issue in hand…my bulging belly!!!!
Talking of which, I've encountered two people who have not realised that I am pregnant recently. SO obviously both have just assumed I am fatter than the fattest thing ever to waddle the earth. I mean, I know I am big but my belly is very pronounced now and the weird shaped bump is slowly developing into proper preggers roundness….so this is pretty gutting! First was a chemist who admittedly doesn't know me or see me often. She sold me some ranitidine which last time I asked about (saying I was pregnant) she wouldn't give me. This time she must of thought, "Christ, with all the crap she must eat, she'll need this!" The second was an old man I see and talk to everyday on the bus stop. I waddle there (yes it's a bit early to be wadding at 21 weeks but that IS probably cos I am a chub) and when I am there, I spend the time rubbing my back and my belly….what does he think I'm doing?!
So the weather has been a bit disappointing in the last week or so…has it not? But still we had a week of sun….we should be grateful. I've noticed that I am sneezing loads even tho I don't get hay fever. But of course you are hyper sensitive to allergies when you're duffed up aren't you? So I must be normally UBER mildly hayfever-ic (?!) and now I am just mildly hayfever-ic/ish/esque….. (Choose your own ending).
Oh so apparently, according to the Daily Telegraph, we preggers ladies can drink a glass of wine every day and not risk having kids with ears in the middle of their face, or something. Pour me another! Don't really, I still get the fear every time I have a glass of wine and leave it at least a week before the next. And lots of people will probably think that's too much. Tbh the Daily Telegraph is not my normal point of reference for pregnancy guidelines. I turn to the Daily Mail for that. Ha!
I had my anomaly scan last week. It was lovely. But she was so wriggly (still can't get used to saying she not he!) they couldn't quite see everything they needed to check so I get an extra bonus scan next week! Woohoo! I am being spoilt with all these scans! She did have most of the things they look for ….arms, legs, diaphragm, kidneys etc. Diaphragm….how can they see that?! Amazing. She still mainly looks like an alien blur to me. A gorgeous alien blur tho, obvs.
Look at my photoshop skills! You can hire me for weddings!
with), has just discovered a Vietnamese restaurant he loves. He's fumigating the office! I need a gas mask just to type a report!
salad and wine sounds like a good diet to me - I will join you!!
Hey Pammy! Really? I haven't met anyone else who had this! Hooray, someone who can sympathise!!! Ugh! I know it will go, but i just can't wait! I miss it!
Enjoying your blog. Just an idea for your post pregnancy diet. The Harcombe diet. Not many have heard of it but it's changed my life after years of losing and regaining on WW/slimming world (pregnancies aside!) Works on the premise that fat is not bad for us, sugar is. It's the release of insulin that causes us to get fat. Once you have gone through the initial hard bit of detoxing from sugar it is such a pleasure to enjoy unlimited amounts of steak with garlic butter, veg with cheese sauce, strawberries and double cream. And my cravings for cake has disappeared – miraculous! It's not Atkins btw, you can still eat carbs! It's also suitable for pregnancy as you are giving your body and your baby healthy nourishing food, without the sugar highs and lows that could lead to gestational diabetes. Tho you probably want a last hurrah of being able to eat what you want as you're pregnant, I did!!


Susan Elan Jones MP has signed an important letter calling on the Prime Minister to take greater action in tackling childhood obesity by banning junk food advertisements before 9pm.
The Clwyd South MP, along with other cross-party MPs, is demanding the 9pm watershed for junk food adverts in an urgent bid to improve the health of young children. Obesity has been linked to heart disease, type 2 diabetes and 13 different types of cancer.
Recent research shows that one in 25 primary school children in England and Wales are dangerously overweight, with cases of obesity found to be twice as likely in children from the most deprived backgrounds.
Susan Elan Jones MP said: "I have previously raised the issue of the ticking time bomb of obesity in Parliament and I am very pleased to sign this letter. We rightly have rules in place on the advertising of alcohol and I see no reason why this issue should not be treated with equal seriousness. It is a problem that places a huge strain on our NHS, with billions of pounds a year spent on treating conditions relating to obesity. It is also vital that the government addresses the inequalities that are associated with this issue".
