Science-backed
Ancient Multi Prenatal contains select ingredients with a wide range of health benefits, including folate to support prenatal health and fertility, vitamin D to support healthy immune system function, methylated vitamin B12 to support healthy energy levels and cognitive health† and more.

What is the complete list of vitamins and minerals in this supplement?
Vitamin A (Beta-Carotene)
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that comes from two sources: preformed retinoids and provitamin A carotenoids. These retinoids are found in animal sources such as eggs, liver and dairy products like whole milk, while provitamin A carotenoids come from colorful plant foods like fruits and vegetables. Beta-carotene typically leads the pack in most efficiently making retinol, a pre-formed, active form of vitamin A.
Probiotic-Fermented Vitamin C
Found mostly in fruits and vegetables, this essential vitamin is known for its powerful antioxidant properties and for its general benefits for supporting a healthy response to stress.†
Probiotic-Fermented Vitamin D3
Vitamin D plays a role in up to 2,000 genes and in every single tissue and cell of the body, yet 75 percent of American teens and adults don't get enough. The immune-supporting vitamin D3 in this formulation is your body's preferred form compared to vitamin D2.
Natural Vitamin E
A fat-soluble vitamin with many important processes in the body, this bioavailable, natural vitamin E also functions as an antioxidant.
Soy-Free Vitamin K (MK-7)
Vitamin K belongs to compounds called naphthoquinones and that includes vitamins K1, K2 and K3. Overall, vitamin K plays a strong role in bones and normal bone metabolism. Vitamin K2 also generally functions to ensure calcium gets to the right places in the body, such as the bones and teeth and not in the arteries or brain.
Generally speaking, vitamin K2 also functions to activate at least three proteins in osteoblasts, the cells that generate bone, while inhibiting the breaking down of bone. Vitamin K2 occurs in several forms, but two primary types are menaquinone-4 (MK-4) and menaquinone-7 (MK-7). MK-7 is a preferred form of vitamin K2, and the vitamin K2 in MK-7 form in Ancient Multi Prenatal is soy-free.
Fermented and Coenzymated B vitamins
B vitamins serve as essential helpers in the conversion of food to energy. And while they do not directly provide that energy, they do assist the process. In fact, the vitamin B complex includes eight water-soluble vitamins: thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B-12, biotin and pantothenic acid.
This well-rounded vitamin B complex offers individual health benefits but work together in several ways. B vitamins are also water-soluble, so they need to be replenished often (if not every day) through diet and/or supplementation. The vitamin B-12 in Ancient Multi Prenatal is in the preferred methylcobalamin form, the form that's typically the easiest for the body to use.
Ancient Multi Prenatal features a patented form of methylated folate. Why is folate so important? It's one of the B vitamins and functions to support the proper production and maintenance of new cells. It's especially important during times of rapid cell division and growth — like during pregnancy and fetal development. Why methylated folate? Methylated folate is considered the natural, active form of folate that the human body uses.
An organic source of calcium derived from organic, U.S.-produced eggshells, this form of calcium is body-friendly.
Traditionally a blood-building mineral, iron used in supplements sometimes tends to trigger digestive distress. Luckily, this formula utilizes iron that's gentle on the digestive tract.
Our iodine is derived from an enzymatic process which bonds amino acids to minerals: chelation. Chelated minerals, such as our iodine, generally have easier absorption rates.
One of the most crucial minerals, magnesium is involved in more than 300 biochemical functions in the body, such as regulating heartbeat rhythms and helping neurotransmitter functions.
Enzyme-Activated Zinc
An essential mineral that's second only to iron in its concentration in the body, zinc is often referred to as the "intelligence mineral." Functionally, the liver also needs zinc in sufficient amounts so it can mobilize and release stored vitamin A into the bloodstream.
Fermented Selenium
An essential mineral to support thyroid health†, selenium is an important mineral in supporting women's overall health.
As an essential nutrient that's usually tied to iron and other minerals, manganese plays a role in numerous chemical processes, including synthesis of nutrients like cholesterol, carbohydrates and proteins.
A hard and brittle metal, chromium is a trace mineral needed by the body.
What is the complete list of superfoods in TCM Prenatal?
Considered a warming wellness spice treasured by pregnant women, ginger extract is packed with antioxidants and therapeutic compounds like gingerol, shogaol, paradol and zingerone.
Organic Cinnamon Bark Extract
Considered one of the longest-existing spices in human history, cinnamon bark features cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, and linalool.
Our ancestors simmered bones, marrow, feet, skin, tendons and ligaments for days to create bone broth containing collagen, proline, glycine and glutamine. Our chicken bone broth comes from U.S. sources we trust, while our beef bone broth is derived from Europe.
Bovine Liver
An ancient nutritional powerhouse, liver is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet and typically contains vitamins A, D, B12, B2, B3, B5, B6, omega-3s, iron, folate, zinc and more. This liver from grass-fed New Zealand cattle is amazing.
Wild Hake Roe
One of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, fish eggs are high in phospholipids. Fish eggs are an excellent source of protein and essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins. The Omega 3s are often higher in roe than the fish itself. Our wild hake roe is sourced in New Zealand and is Marine Stewardship Council Certified.
What is TCM?
The Traditional Chinese Method (TCM) is a system of wellness that dates back more than 2,000 years and is still practiced today. It works on the belief that Qi (which loosely translates to "vital energy" and is pronounced "chee") is essential for overall health. TCM principles adhere to the idea that proper Qi is needed to keep all systems in balance.
This ties into the concept of yin and yang, defined as opposing but complementary energies. According to TCM, like Qi, yin and yang negatively affect your health when they're out of balance. That being said, a primary goal of TCM involves balancing their equalizing relationship.
One of the ways to do that involves using specific superfoods and herbs. TCM superfoods and superherbs aim to support the overall health of the systems of the body. TCM aims to create balance in the body as a whole to promote wellness and Qi. When the yin and yang aspects of Qi are harmonized and balanced out, a person typically experiences wellbeing.
How is TCM different than Ayurveda?
Both TCM and Ayurveda approach the body in a balancing way. They both address energy flow, circulation and balance in the body. For instance, that energy is referred to as "Qi" in TCM and "prana" in Ayurveda.
While there is overlap in some of the botanicals used in both TCM and Ayurveda, each tradition also utilizes specific plants and foods. Ayurveda was born out of India, so often recommends traditional herbs and foods widely available in that region. TCM often focuses on botanicals and fungi more readily available in China. While TCM may utilize more animal products, Ayurveda does tend to recommend more dairy, like ghee, compared to TCM.
In essence, TCM and Ayurveda are different ways to approach wellness and balance from different regions of the world.
Who is this product intended for?
This product is for women of childbearing age and is considered a "Mom-to-Be and Baby Formula." With a patented form of methylated folate, Ancient Multi Prenatal Formula is specially formulated for this special time of life — for women prior to conception, during pregnancy and post-pregnancy while lactating to promote prenatal health while supporting energy and nutrition for Mom.
Can I take this with other supplements?
Yes, you can take it with other supplements. As with any supplements containing iron, please be aware that be aware that accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep this product out of reach of children.
Why are prenatal vitamins a good idea?
Consider the amazing process of how the brain develops.
At conception, 60 percent of genetic energy is dedicated to developing the brain of the growing child, and it only takes off from there. Three to four weeks after conception, neuronal proliferation is at its zenith — 250,000 neurons per minute — a frenzy that results in a whopping 100 billion brain neurons total at the time of birth.
These neurons become neatly organized into about 40 differentiated areas that govern language, vision and muscle movement. They're still immature, largely inactivated and weakly connected to one another, but that soon changes. Almost immediately following birth, the newborn's brain forms trillions of connections between neurons, which enable the baby to see, hear, smell, learn and reason while inaugurating learning and memory.
Brain development continues long after birth, and parts of some neurons continue to grow well into old age, but research indicates that there are specific "windows of opportunity" for brain development. These include 0 to 2 years for emotional development, 0 to 4 years for logic and math, 0 to 10 years for language and 3 to 10 years for music.
Did you know the brain seems to favor certain nutrients? Even when in utero, the brain requires proper nourishment. When the embryo is developing its neural tube, the foundation for the brain, skull and spine, folate is a must.
Additionally, folate is necessary for making DNA and RNA, the building blocks of cells, including the brain's cells. B vitamins, including B12, are also crucial.
That's why it's important to take a quality prenatal multivitamin like Ancient Multi Prenatal Formula, which has a patented form of methylated folate, fermented and co-enzymated B vitamins plus much more.
How is this different from Women's Fermented Multi?
This product is specifically developed for women of childbearing age, while Women's Fermented Multi isn't considered a prenatal vitamin.
How is this different from the other Ancient Multivitamins in the line?
Ancient Multi Prenatal is formulated to specifically target the needs of women of childbearing age, women who are planning to become pregnant or are pregnant and women who are nursing, while our other products are not specifically focused on this special time of life.

I'm mixing things up today, dear readers, by replacing Eats with Drinks – that is, a cocktail for these warm summer days.
Completely tangential story time: Years ago, in the old house, before Mr. P and I were married... I had a basil plant. My reasons for buying it stemmed from the fact that it cost exactly the same as a packet of basil at the grocery, but in theory I would get more basil in the long run. Solid plan, no?
I can't remember where I got it, exactly, but I do remember buying what seemed like an absurdly large pot and big bag of potting soil, just for this little basil plant. Actually, I first accidentally bought a big bag of this stuff – which is totally not potting soil – and tried to pot it in that before giving up and consulting Google for assistance. Clearly, I had no idea how to deal with this new little houseplant.
I tell you all this because, once I got that itty-bitty basil sprout planted in actual soil in its giant pot, IT REFUSED TO DIE. Instead, it grew to nearly eight times its original height because I never pruned it properly. I'd overwater it and its soil would look questionably fungus-y, but it kept on kicking without me re-potting it. Or I'd forget to water it for weeks until Mr. P would notice the shriveled brown thing and ask when I'd last watered it. I'd give him a blank stare, he'd give it a generous cup full of water, and the little basil plant would happily perk right back up and let me harvest plenty of tasty basil leaves within a week. It took years of abuse and neglect before it finally gave up trying to live with me and died.
Nowadays, every plant I bring into the apartment immediately dies, including a new basil plant. I'm convinced it has nothing to do with my poor gardening skills – hey, the last little basil plant was JUST FINE – and everything to do with the water. Of course.
Anyway! Basil! Surely you, as a far better gardener than me, have a basil plant that's totally out of control now that it's summer. Or maybe you have loads of basil in your CSA box. Or maybe, like me, you simply appreciate that basil is super cheap at the grocery store right now. No matter how you get it, let's turn it into a simple syrup for cocktails!
Many simple syrup recipes are two parts sugar to one part water, but I don't like super sweet cocktails. So I've tinkered with this and come up with a thinner syrup that has lots of basil flavor without tons of sugar. It just needs one cup of white sugar dissolved in one cup of water in a small saucepan.
It won't all dissolve, but that's okay – it will once we turn up the heat.
Next I dumped a whole bunch of basil leaves. I used the whole 2/3-ounce package I got at the grocery, which I think was at least thirty leaves.
Then I used my trusty-dusty-rusty strainer and transferred the liquid into a small 12-ounce jar.
Ta-da! Super concentrated, not-too-sweet basil simple syrup!
This will keep in the fridge for a week; after that, I pour it into an ice cube tray and stick it in the freezer indefinitely (at least, until the syrup gets that freezer-burnt taste).
As for what you can use this basil syrup for... You can add this into tea, lemonade, even just water (ooh, with a lemon wedge!). Or follow my lead and make one excellent summer cocktail, something I'm calling a bubbly basil gimlet.
Lime soda, Seagram's lime gin (I realize some of you are rolling your eyes, but GO WITH IT), basil simple syrup, and – not pictured – bottled lime juice. Which didn't make the photo, because I was mad my fresh lime had gone off.
To make the gimlet, I just added six ounces of soda to two ounces of gin, a half-ounce of basil syrup, and a half-ounce of lime juice. You can adjust the gin/soda ratio if you want it a bit more boozy, or add more syrup for a stronger basil flavor (careful that it doesn't get too sweet, though).
If you remember to use your limes before they go bad, a slice of lime makes an excellent garnish. And if you have a cocktail shaker, this is a great time to use it. I just stirred mine. With a metal chopstick. That I pretend is a swizzle stick.
Ugh. Two things I should never be allowed to do: garden and bartend.
But all my shortcomings aside: this is a delicious drink. It may not look like much (partly because I'm a lazy food photographer who can't bother to style her dishes), but it makes up for it in flavor. And as I said, the syrup can go in nearly anything else you're drinking. Go forth and enjoy this perfectly summertime beverage!
Saturday: I ran out of dinner ideas, so I might finagle a dinner date. This is real life.


Students being welcomed to the masterclass with an introductory talk on accelerator science at Daresbury.
Between the 6th and 8th of March the Cockcroft Institute hosted its annual Particle Physics Masterclass (PPMC) at Daresbury Laboratory. The PPMC programme, which gives a broad overview of particle physics and accelerator science, is targeted at GCSE and A-level science students and has grown to become popular with schools in the north-west and beyond. This years' event was organised by Dr Alex Bainbridge (ASTeC) with support from Wendy Cotterill (Daresbury public engagement) with support on the day from several members of ASTeC, staff and students from all four CI universities, and the Hartree Centre.
In total 250 students and 27 teachers visited the lab over the 3 day event. They were welcomed with an opening talk by Alex Bainbridge on the history and development of particle accelerators at Daresbury. They were then split into 4 groups that rotated through activities including a tour of the CLARA/VELA accelerator, a series of demonstrations of accelerator technology including vacuum science, electrostatic acceleration and superconductors, a talk on magnets for accelerators followed by a tour of Daresbury's magnet test laboratory, and an interactive computer based activity developed by Lancaster University in which students are taught how to identify particles from collision data before identifying the Higgs boson signature. Each day was concluded with a lively talk by Fred Loebinger (Emeritus professor, University of Manchester) on the discovery of quarks, gluons and the Higgs Boson.
Ricardo Torres (UoL) shows students how the same forces used to accelerate particles can be scaled up to accelerate a ping-pong ball.

Home / Bangladesh / Move on to submit manipulated report on Khaleda's health: BNP
Move on to submit manipulated report on Khaleda's health: BNP
BNP on Wednesday alleged that the government is trying to submit a different report on Khaleda Zia's health condition before the Supreme Court changing the one made by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University authorities.
"The medical board's report sought by the court is yet to come. We came to know that steps are being taken to submit a different report (before the court on Khaleda's health) by removing the report the BSMMU authorities have already prepared," said BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
He came up with the remarks while speaking at a seminar arranged by BNP at a city hotel on the country's human right situation, marking the International Human Rights Day. Diplomats from 15 countries, including the USA, the UK, India, Pakistan, Russia and the European Union, were present at the programme.The BNP leader said the government is working very carefully to unfairly prolong their party Chairperson Khaleda Zia's stay in jail. "They're violating human rights by doing so."
On Thursday last, the Appellate Division deferred until December 12 (tomorrow) the hearing on Khaleda's bail petition in Zia Charitable Trust graft case.
The court also asked the medical board, formed by the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) to treat Khaleda Zia, to submit a report on her health condition within December 12. The board failed to present the report on December 5 as per the directive given on November 28.
Khaleda has been in jail after being convicted in the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case on February 8, 2018. She was found guilty in another corruption case later the same year, though her party claims both cases are politically motivated. The BNP chief has been receiving treatment at the BSMMU since April 1 this year.
Fakhrul said the BSMMU medical board in its report on November 30 said Khaleda has been at a 'crippling stage' and she needs much better treatment. "The Supreme Court asked the authorities to submit this report, but it's yet to be presented."
He alleged that Khaleda Zia has been kept in in jail 'unlawfully' for nearly 20 months in false cases while she has long been denied bail.The BNP leader said other people convicted in such cases are freed on bail, but Khaleda has not been granted that due to various 'obstructions' by the government.

This Land is Our Land, The Finale Recap
The next morning came all too quickly at grandma's farm. Vey and Toon approached their prospective partners and demanded their answers. All Athit and Darunee could do is stare at them with pause and uncertainty. This is it, the moment of truth!
As Toon and Athit sat under a pergola, she told him that her mom has just arrived from Australia and would like to meet with him, if he had some time. The three stooges tiptoed through the trees to eavesdrop. Toon continued asking him if he still had any concerns left for the farm? Athit merely answered that Darunee is more than capable to take over his role and Vey can soon help her. Whether he goes or stay, no one will have any qualms. Toon takes his hands and told him to go to Bangkok with her. Athit removed his hands (which made Toon frown) but he stood up and announced to the three stooges to tell Darunee of his whereabouts: he was going to Bangkok with Toon. Upon hearing this, Toon was ecstatic. Tod asked him how long he was planning on being there. Athit replied that he doesn't know, maybe a year or two or never returning…
His three wives are left sobbing in the corner.
Vey and Darunee are walking along the trees when Darunee asked him if he truly loved her. Vey wondered how she could ask him that and quickly confirmed that he "really" did love her. Darunee asked him if he knew what she liked to eat, what she liked to do.. what she dreamed of doing? Essentially, does he know the essence of her? Vey couldn't answer. "You don't know because you don't think to ask those questions," Darunee said, "and you don't ask those questions because you're not really in love with me." Vey immediately told her that he does want to know, all's she has to do is tell him those things, he'll do whatever she wants, because he loves her.
Calmly, Darunee told Vey that love isn't simply doing whatever one side wants, it's both side being involved. Yes, love is in fact a two way street. The understanding, friendship, concern, forgiveness and respect should exist between one another but most importantly, Darunee told him, is the loving kindness and mercy. She turned to Vey and asked him that between everything she has described, has he felt that way about her? Vey stuttered and looked away, and can only say that he have some of those feelings for her. He also went on the attack and said that she must have someone else in her heart that is why she is turning him down. He also knows who that person is but tells her that it is impossible (for her to be with that person) because he is going to be with someone else. Vey, you're such an asshole, as if telling her that will up any chances with you. Haven't you heard of 'don't slander of the competition?'
Daruneee's tears threatened to fall but she turned to him and said, "that is the most important aspect of love. You should be happy to see that the person you love is happy."
Vey looked angrily at her. Darunee excused herself. What maturity on Darunee's part to not make decisions about her future just to spite someone. She allowed Athit to be with "someone who makes him happy" and not succumb to ruining her own future by marrying someone she doesn't love.
Athit and Toon said their farewells to Aunt Kaew and Uncle Kreang as they proceed to the car for their journey to Bangkok. Athit looked as if he has accepted his fate. Aunt Kaew asked him if he doesn't feel sorry Darunee, in which he responded that she has Vey (you're leaving someone you love in Vey's hands? I mean if he was capable and can measure up to you, I'd understand.. but you're so much better!)
The three stooges and the farm workers sat around moping. Darunee walked by and noticed their solemn faces. They told her that Athit has left for Bangkok with Toon. When she realizes that he is gone gone, the sadness hits her and she walks away.
Purposefully striding through the long, dried grasses, Darunee angrily muttered, "you're just going to leave? Without even saying goodbye?!" Tears streaked down her face. She runs along the hilltop where she sees his car driving away.
At the blossom garden, the car came to a halt.
"Did you forget something?" Toon asked him.
"I really cannot leave this place, Toon," Athit said.
Her face fell.
"I know that a couple of years is not a long time, but I just realized that at this moment, I cannot even leave this place for a day. I cannot abandon grandma's land."
"Because if you leave this place, you're leaving your heart too, is that right?" Toon asked him.
Athit swallowed.
As they stood in front of the car, Toon confessed that she knew where his heart lies. She has tried to convince herself that he loved her, because well, every other guy is in love with her more than Darunee, so she's not wrong in thinking that way right? (Omg, wrong!) But Athit nodded his head in agreement. Except, she continued, those men are not him.
Athit still tried to deny it but Toon is absolutely sure that he and Darunee are in love with each other. He is almost shocked at her words. Toon said that he always has Darunee in his eyes and heart.
"I'm sorry," Athit said.
"Don't be sorry. I came because I needed to face the truth and to see your face one more time before I go abroad."
Athit said that he didn't have that much worth.
Toon wished that she had met Athit before Darunee met him. Athit told her that she has a great future ahead of her. Toon agreed, she said that honestly she's not really suitable for the farm life, where would she find the time to do her face? He consoled her that she will meet even a better man than him. Toon said she hopes so but it would be difficult because her first love is the nicest and cutest. Athit told her that she is a good person and cute too. But not good enough for him to love, she added. Well, I'm glad we cleared that up!
Athit is saddened by the prospect of hurting her. Because you know, he is the nicest and cutest. Crushing dreams and breaking hearts are not his forte.
Back at the rice fields, Darunee is crying and asking grandma (out loud) if she was there. She told grandma that she would take care of the land in Athit's place. More sobs escaped her. Then a voice came from the corner and asked grandma if he too could take care of her land. Shocked, Darunee looked to the right.
"P'Athit," she uttered.
"There was a particular someone who didn't want me to stay here. And I'm asking grandma if I could stay for another day or two."
Darunee tried to say something but she was still overcome with tears so she looked down. "And what about Toon?"
"She's gone," he said, not taking his eyes off of Darunee.
He didn't answer, but stepped closer and wiped her tears away. "Don't cry, my good person," he said.
She grasped his hands, "And you're not going with Toon?" she asked, needing him to confirm.
He looked at her with almost a teasing smile, "I'm going, just not today."
She turned away with a pout, "since you're still going to leave, why don't you just quickly follow her?"
"I need to close out all accounts first and make sure the workers are paid. It'll only take a couple of days."
"Thank you for thinking of the workers before you leave."
Athit inched closer, "when I'm done, you will go with me?"
Darunee peered at him, "yes, so I can congratulate your happiness with Toon."
Athit looked disappointed at her answer so he turned her body around to face him. "Thank you, Nong Nee." Oh, he's such a tease, not telling her the truth.
The workers congregated around the haystack concerned at what is going to happen now that Athit was no longer there. When they saw him walking back with Darunee, they cheered but Darunee told them that he was only here for a couple of days then he would follow Toon. Athit just merely nodded his head, lol. And when she's not looking at him, he can only look at her with a smile! The workers walked away dejectedly.
At the airport, Toon is crying and Vey is wondering why two perfect people like themselves are heartbroken? He continued to say that the other two people are just farmers so that must be why they turned down hi-so people. Vey then proceeded to let out a cry and Toon looked on with pity. They pass the hankerchief back and forth, lol. This made Toon laugh.
Vilai is furious that Darunee refused Vey's marriage proposal but Vi convinced her mom to let it go, that just means Vey and Darunee were not soul mates. Vilai blamed everything on grandma, in the end. Her husband stood up with anger, he forbid her from speaking poorly of his mother again. Vilai ran to her room, crying, like a baby, lol.
Back at the farmhouse, on the balcony, Aunt Kaew was confused why Athit didn't just go to Bangkok if he were already planning on leaving with Toon. Darunee is knitting the sweater for him, while the sun shined down on her face. Athit walked in on time to overhear the conversation and stood by the banister.
"It's their own business, so I don't want to intrude."
"What about Vey? What have you decided?" Aunt Kaew asked her.
"I respect Vey like an older brother. Whether Athit stays or goes, that doesn't change how I feel about Vey."
Athit stood by smiling with glee.
"I've already refused his offer."
Athit was so happy with her words, he accidentally made his presence known and started meowing like a cat, lol.
Aunt Kaew is also happy.
Thongprasri's dad is a drunken idiot and decides to take advantage that Athit wasn't around the farm.
Athit is playing the instrument for Tawan at the lunch break. The farm workers are depressed and still sad that he's still going to leave. They begged him to stay but Athit is still closed mouth about his plans, whatever that may be.
Aunt Kaew pulled Uncle Kreang over to see if they could conjure a plan to save the farm. Aunt Kaew wants to give Athit and Darunee a love potion, lol, but Uncle Kreang said that it is sinful.
That night, Darunee finished up the sweater she knitted for him. Athit mischievously smiled and said that in the event that he is her Guardian, he wanted to know how the wedding plans with Vey were faring.
Darunee said that it hasn't started but they were definitely going to marry.
Athit asked her how she wanted her wedding to be. Darunee said that there are two ways to get married, in the reality or in her dreams. If it were in the reality, the wedding would be at the farm, because she was born and raised here. Athit asked her about her dreams. Darunee replied that she wanted to marry in the sea. She has never been to the sea before. It would give her great pleasure to walk hand in hand with that particular someone. Athit wanted to know who that "particular someone" was. Darunee told him it was Vey but her eyes were saying something different. Athit looked on with a knowing smile.
In the corner, Aunt Kaew was eavesdropping.
Darunee wanted him to try on the sweater she just finished. She helped him into the sweater and Athit stared at her the entire time (ah so cute!) She adjusted the collar and he sniffed her hair. "Who said that you didn't smell good?" Athit asked her.
Darunee changed the subject and looked shyly away, "it fits well," she said.
"But does it look handsome too?" he asked.
"Handsome in a way that suits Toon's beauty," said Darunee who told him that it will be finished by tomorrow, upon which, would be time for him to go after Toon. Darunee tried to convince him to go to bed since it was dark.
Athit just ignored her comment and smiled.
Aunt Kaew immediately intercepted nervously and said that they haven't drank her orange juice before they go to bed yet. She made them sit down and promise to wait for her.
At the kitchen, Uncle Kreang gives Aunt Kaew the love potion. She puts a drop into both glasses. She watched the two drinks and forced them to empty the glasses. Then she excused herself to go to bed, lol.
The two went for a walk outside, as they descended the stairs, she peered at the moon and said that she missed Toon. But Athit only stood behind her, smelled her, and looked at her with great need. Darunee spouted how great Toon is and asked Athit if he felt that was true. They're not truly paying attention to what the other is saying, only in tune with the electric atmosphere. (She said, even Vey was into Toon but she wanted to keep Vey away from Toon. He asked is it because she was jealous? Darunee said it's because she wanted to reserve Toon for Athit- and asked him if he understood? Athit said he understands perfectly, because she's his Nong Nee. Lol, they are too cute and speaking about two different things entirely!)
As he leaned down for a kiss, Darunee walked away shyly. I can't stop smiling!
The three stooges vowed that they weren't going to let Athit go to Bangkok but Uncle Kreang stopped them in time.
They walked through the orange farm and Darunee continued talking about Toon, she said that he was Toon's dream man.
Stopping under a tree, Athit said, "I can be anyone's dream man, but I'd like to be the real man for one specific person. Do you want to know who she is?"
"Who else can it be aside from Toon?"
He looked questioningly at her.
"Don't tell me that you are secretly seeing someone else!? That will make me mad! Toon really loves you," Darunee said, totally oblivious with his hint.
"But I want that person to love me more than Toon loves me," Athit said.
"So exactly who are you in love with? Tell me or I will pinch your nose," as she reaches to touch his nose, Athit grasped her hand.
"Go ahead, I wanted my nose pinched." The two look into each other's eyes.
She didn't know what to make of his words, not daring to hope. Athit inched closer and kissed the spot above her eye, her nose. She looked pleasantly shocked by his actions. He then kissed her cheek and said the words she was yearning to hear, "now do you realize who is the person that I love?"
He takes her chin and leans in for a kiss to seal the deal, under the darkened night sky.
Beneath the orange tree, he lies on her lap and kisses her hands. "I love you," he said, "I love you so.."
She beamed at the words that she wanted to hear for so long.
They made their way back to the farmhouse, as he carried her in his arms.
In her room, he said that he could change her shirt for her, it was damp. After she refused him, she told him to go to sleep and he immediately lay on her lap, lol. But she told him to go to bed in grandma's room because he will be heading over to Bangkok to see Toon the next morning.
Athit doesn't say anything, he just walks away. But as she prepares her bed, he came from behind her and hugged her tightly. He asked to sleep with her because he was afraid of ghosts. He laid her on the bed and said to her that they'll have to change shirts, his shirt is damp too- and he goes in for a kiss, laying on top of her.
The morning after, Darunee woke up in Athit's arms (still fully clothed..)
She asked him why he didn't go to work yet and Athit said that he wanted to stay with his wife (so I guess the dirty deed was done!) he wanted to hold her all day.
She told him that she would pack his bag so he could go see Toon. (Wth?! You just slept with your best friend's prospective husband and you're still handing him off to Toon?)
Ah, Athit has got to be the man with the most "wives" in lakorn history, lol.
Omg, their conversation continues like this (and it sounded so wrong!)
Athit said that she's doing her wifely duties well (by offering to pack his bags.) But Darunee said the real wife is in Bangkok. Athit asked who Darinee was then, and she said, his sister. His beloved sister? Sleeping with her brother? Disgusting but you can't help but laugh! Athit asked to "love" his sister one more time and tries to pull her back to bed.
They are still so, very cute together, despite their exchange in dialogue.
Before he left her room he said he understood why grandma wanted him to stay in her room. If he knew this from the beginning, he would have moved in from the onset!
She looked at him with a smile. He told her not to look at him that way or he won't be able to go work; he embraced her fully and kissed her cheek. Golly they're so cute!
Darunee looked so happy, even though she knows that it was only for a short while, before he leaves to see Toon.
Back to work we go, Athit evaluated the rice field and said that they would have another week before they would harvest it. He muttered to himself that he has enough time..
Tod wondered enough time to do what?
He asked Uncle Kreang to watch over the rice field and left. Tod wondered why Athit appeared like he's not in the mood to work. He asked one person to care for the cabbage, the other for the bananas, etc. delegating work as if he was going to be gone for a bit.
I'm curious to learn what he has up his sleeve!
As she packed Athit's bag, Darunee is saddened by the prospect of losing him. Athit hugged her from behind and was excited about where they were going. He asked if she packed her bags, but Darunee relented that she was only seeing him off. "So do you really intend to see me off and let me be with someone else?" he asked her. "You are so cruel."
"Who is cruel?" she asked, "what happened between us last night, can you forget it?"
He held her hands and looked sternly at her, "don't talk like that again. I will never forget last night. Because I have never forgotten us, from the moment we met."
The three stooges wondered about the turning of events, because Athit never took time off from work.
Back at the farmhouse, as Athit tied his shoelaces, Aunt Kaew appeared and asked rhetorically if he was planning on taking Nee to BKK and have her drive back alone? Athit gave her a peace of mind that he wasn't going to allow her to drive home alone, even after she has kicked him out of the farm, he was still here. They'll go on like this forever. This comforted Aunt Kaew and she wondered if Darunee knew? Athit shook his head, which got Aunt Kaew smiling and telling him that he's so bad (for not letting her know.) She said that Nee was very sad and depressed, had asked her for some medicine to help ease the pain. Athit looked concerned.
Darunee came out, ready to see him off. The three stooges are below the balcony again and Athit overhears them. He noticed the mug of hot coffee and emptied it over the three stooges again. Lol, they never learn!
On their drive, Darunee is quiet. He learned that she might not feel so well (due to the medicine) so he stopped the car to adjust her seat. She thought he was leaning in for a kiss and told him that she doesn't want to feel worst than she already is (when it comes to cheating, I suppose?) but he laughs and said that it's probably not wrong to adjust the seat. Before he was done, he gave her a kiss anyway, lol.
Back at the farmhouse, Aunt Kaew couldn't help but laugh out loud with her pleasure. She thanked him for the love potion. Uncle Kreang said that it wasn't a love potion, lol, it was merely liquid nectar from the plant in the backyard. He also said that they loved each other for a long time now, they just hasn't realized it. Uncle Kreang also confessed that he loved and bonded with Aunt Kaew a long ago too, lol.
Arriving not in Bangkok, but at a beach, where crabs crawled and the fresh breeze played with Athit's denim shirt. Darunee is still asleep in the car. She wakens slowly and noticed the sea. Amazed at the vision before her, Athit asked for her hand. She asked about Toon, and Athit told her that they can talk about that later.
Hand in hand, they walked along the shore. What a sweet and beautiful scene. He stopped her, looking worried.
"There is one thing I cannot stand," he told her (after saying that there were many things he could handle.)
"It is?" she asked.
"I can't stand being alone anymore," he confessed and reached for her hands. "Be with me."
"P'Athit-"
"Marry me!" He pleaded her with his eyes.
"What about Toon?"
"She's already aware that this day will come- that I'm asking for your hand in marriage- no one else has any problems. Only you.. what do you say, my good person? Will you marry me?"
Darunee looked into his eyes as the love showed on his face, reflecting the love on hers. She nodded her head, still in shock. He cheered, elated that she said yes. Running towards her, Athit pulled her into his arms and swung her, around and around in his arms.
They held each other with tears of joy. Later in the water, he teased her for swimming funny. She admitted that she has always been on the land, so she doesn't know how to swim. She held both hands up to swear and he said that one hand is good enough, as he takes her left hand and kissed it. Sliding the gold band into her ring finger. Darunee looked surprisingly at it, as the ring and gesture overwhelmed her.
"With this ring, that may not have as much monetary value as other rings, but I have saved every penny and money that I have in order to obtain it.. for you."
She looked at the ring and then at him, "this ring may not be expensive but it means so much more to me because it came from your hard work and sweat. I will wear it until I die."
"Thank you, Nong Nee," Athit said, "thank you for everything." He leans down and goes in for a kiss, but she pulled away.
She told him if he could catch her, then she'll let him kiss her three times. If he loses, he gets one kiss. If he is willing to lose, then he gets nothing. She immediately takes off and he chased her. They frolic in the water with laughter and fun. Athit, trying to grab her lol. Then finally, he was able to lift her in his arms.
At Bangkok, Vey is pursuing Toon, telling her that he could be her personal driver, or even assistant because he knows how she likes her coffee and when she likes it, lol. She told him that he wasn't her type, he said they should try it out first otherwise they would never know.. she agreed and he's ecstatic.
Back at the beach house, Athit is drying his hair, smiling at the recent turn of events and his proposal. Browsing through her cookbook, he noticed the flattened small flower that he had given her when she first left for school. Ah, it's coming full circle! Indicating that she felt the same way about him, a long time ago. He smiled at the knowledge.
Darunee came out of the bathroom and thanked him for arranging everything. He offered to dry her hair. They discussed what they'd be doing back at the farm, as she flipped through her cookbook, searching for the little flower. She panicked at the thought that it was gone. Athit asked her if that was the flower he had given her. She denied it. He said that she must have liked him since that time, because she kept it for so long. Darunee smiled and said that she kept it because it was cute, not that she secretly liked him or anything.
He said that she didn't need to be embarrassed that she crushed on him. He felt that same way about her, from the beginning. She wanted to know when- and he said that he doesn't know exactly when, but at the restaurant, when he first saw Vey giving her a hug, he felt already uncomfortable, as if someone was cutting him off, lol. Darunee said that if she knew that was the case, she would marry Vey. Athit told her to apologize this instant, if she says that she won't do it again, she'll get kissed three times. If she says that she was wrong for saying that, she will get kissed two times.
"I—" Darunee started, "agreed that I've lost."
"Then you'll get kissed everywhere!"
Their teasing turned smoldering as Athit kissed her, everywhere on her face, just as promised.
That evening, Athit brought Darunee to meet his family.
The two participated in a quick ceremony to seal the deal (religiously) in front of Athit's family. They all gave the two well wishes. It was a sweet moment with the parents.
Vilai finally gets a wake up call from her husband. That morning Vey asked for their permission to study abroad- and in a different field. She thought he had always wanted to be like his father. But her husband told her that because her son loves her very much, he was willing to do whatever to please her. She not only controlled his future, she controlled his feelings for a long time. If she went back look in the past, she should realize that Vey hasn't done anything to displease her. This brought tears to Vilai's eyes as she realized that she needed to love him as much as he loved her. She needed to let him go and be himself- to grow into himself. They hugged and cried. That was a sincere scene.
Back at Athit's hometown, they signed their marriage certificate. Legal! Upon looking at the certificate, Athit realized that his father just advanced in his position. His father wished them well in their marriage and future endeavors together.
Athit and Darunee came to see Toon off. Their relationship is fraught and awkward, with the one man they both loved in between them. Darunee feels badly but Toon apologized for thinking only of herself. They discovered that Toon would be studying abroad in Australia, where her mom lived and she may stay there forever if it suits her. She encouraged Nee to have a baby soon so she could come back to visit. They hugged it out as their friendship, essentially, will never be the same again.
Vey appeared and told Toon that he booked a flight together with her and will be going to the same college. She said that it was a good thing, so she can order him to get her a coffee. Vey knew exactly how she liked her coffee and has arranged everything for them, lol. They turned out to be a cute couple.
Athit and Darunee watched on with bittersweet happiness, as Darunee rest her head against his shoulders.
They finally arrived back home, at the farmhouse and are met with a final hurdle. Sintorn was causing an uproar and trying to convince all of the farm workers to work abroad- in a different country. Everyone will be paid handsomely if they went. This scene comes back full circle to grandma, and what it means to the farm workers to work there. Can Athit and Darunee sustain the land that grandma had left for them? Along with the workers?
Athit appeared and asked how he has taken advantaged of the workers?
Sintorn is flustered. Athit explained how they were like family, he has treated all of the workers like his brothers and sisters and they work together to keep the farm going. He's not stopping them from leaving, but he wanted them to think carefully, that being a farmer may not be a rich or glamorous endeavor, but they will always have food on the table and doing what they love. Reiterating his own passion about agriculture.
Athit also said that no matter how rich you become, you'd still eat rice, from the farmers who grew it. The workers agreed and all chanted their approval.
He wanted to know if it was worth it to get the money when you would have to leave your family and land. People don't die because they don't have enough, only people who are greedy. The workers began considering how much they would lose by leaving and decided it was best they stayed. Darunee spoke up as well, that they needed to work together.
It was decided that whoever wanted to stay at the farm with Athit and Darunee, they would follow their footsteps. And they did.
Vilai came to see both Athit and Darunee, with regards to will #2. Vilai hasn't recanted, she's still nasty and Vi had to calm her down. She kept insinuating that Athit was after grandma's inheritance. They agreed that next month they will open the second will.
In grandma's room, Athit wondered why Darunee looked so down. Darunee worried that if grandma hasn't left any inheritance for her in the second will, would Athit stop loving her? Athit didn't want to hear her say that. He said that grandma has left the inheritance in Darunee all along, grandma has taught her to be a good person, manners etc, so he felt that he has gained so much more than money. He also believed that they could create their own inheritance (meaning land, future etc.) with their own hands. Darunee thanked him.
In their room, they opened a box that Toon left for them. Darunee said that it was a dress that Toon intended to wear to her wedding with Athit. Darunee opened the letter that was addressed to them, that Toon hoped Darunee would wear this dress as she stands with Athit on their special day. Darunee shed a tear as she thought about her friend. Athit held his wife in his arms to comfort her.
The farm is in a flurry of movement, everyone pulling their weight to improve the farm. Even Thongprasri's family are involved and it's a pleasure to see everyone making peace.
Athit, Darunee and Tawan played in the farm, while the workers watched on with happiness.
Thongprasri and her husband are back in town and wanted to take Tawan back. Darunee was saddened and she reluctantly hands Tawan over to his mom.
And the reading of will #2 commences!
Grandma's cash gets dispersed evenly among her offsprings and grandkids. She was also generous in giving each farm workers money too. Some of the profit coming from selling the fruits would go to educating the farm worker's children.
As for Athit and Darunee they would receive all of the land that grandma has. If they can't agree to care for it together, they could sell all of it and split the profit.
Vilai gasped, shocked- because all of the land didn't go to Darunee as she has expected, but split evenly with Athit.
Back at Vilai's house, she's crying and fuming with the "injustice" of it all. Her daughter and husband shook their heads at her state. Even though she received a lot of cash, she was still pissed that Athit and Darunee got the land, which equates to so much more money than what they got. It's funny how her daughter lectures her on how she could focus on her own strengths and create her own wealth. She needed to stop focusing on seeing other people's downfalls. This cheered Vilai up and she couldn't wait to start the new business with her daughter.
At the vast expanse of Athit and Darunee's farm, they met with the workers whom they had helped given birth to. Athit asked her if she was ready to have her own kids soon. She warned him that she would pinch his nose if he keeps talking like that. Athit wanted his nose pinched, lol.
Darunee couldn't help but miss Tawan after see little "Darunee," the little girl whom the farm worker named after Darunee. Athit said that it was an easy problem to fix; they should start reproducing little Tawan- five or six of them! She said that was too many!
"You don't want to see what they look like?"
"Well I do!" Athit chased after her, calling her his grand aunt again.
They found their way back to grandma's gravestone. Kneeling before their late grandma, they thanked her for loving them and entrusting the farm in their care- the land in which she has created with her own hands.
As they walked arm in arm, Athit asked Darunee if she knew why grandma didn't assign which farm land goes to whom?
Darunee doesn't know.
Athit admitted that he didn't know either but just learned from Aunt Kaew that grandma wished that they would end up together. She wanted them to marry and take care of the farm together.
"And now we have done what she wanted us to-" Darunee started.
"With great pleasure-" Athit added.
They smiled at each other, and Athit couldn't help but ask her, "and are you doing this willingly as well?"
He kissed her forehead while she thought of an answer, and held her close.
Darunee became wise with her response, "grandma intended for us to think that this land is our land, because we all plant and farm so we can work and provide a living. So we can support ourselves over time."
"Over time," Athit added "we have enough to share with our fellow people."
"We need to send this message to everyone, especially people who are close to us." Darunee said.
"The people closest to us would be our kids and grandkids. You should help me think about how we can have many kids and grandkids. To make this world beautiful."
She shyly looks away while he holds her from behind.
He asked grandma to help him but then answered that grandma won't help, she told them to help each other.
"Can I ask for your participation? My little grand aunt?" Athit asked Darunee.
They looked into each other's eyes as Athit dipped his head down to kiss her. He examined her face and pushed a hair strand out of her face. Arm in arm, they walked through the garden.
We are given a poignant story about two people's intertwined lives and taken on a journey to watch their character blossoming and their love growing. A sweet finale with no rocks left unturned (well maybe a few things, but will divulge that in a review later), we still get a sense of completion and resolution.
We can now close this last chapter of Torranee Nee Nee Krai Krong- This Land is Our Land, with a big sigh, the happy and satisfied variety.
I thank you for taking the time to read, comment and go on this journey with me-as we watch Athit and Darunee have their happily ever after- leaving us nostalgic for the past time they had together but excited for their happy and fruitful (albeit make belief) union to come.
Enjoy the beautiful, spectacular moments in the finale:

Thank you so much for writing this recaps on this beautiful lakorn regarding my all time favorite actor Nadech and actress Yaya. They are so good together the chemistry between them. They make my heart melt whenever they're together. I love your blogs your such a good writer. Thank you so much
@BeyonceCIA thanks! I'm so sad that the drama is over.
@Goddesslove12 Awe thank you 🙂 Torranee was a lovely drama, made even better with Yadech's chemistry. They make my heart melt too! I hope they will film another drama together down the road.. even if we have to wait for a long while. It makes sense for them to act with other people too. Thanks for stopping by!
gnuhp says:
thanks heaps for the recap!!! such a beautiful story but ofcourse it wouldn't be the same without yadech!! who would of thought the hardworking athit could be so romantic and cheeky which makes it extra cute and sweet!!! hope we get to see more of yadech lakorns in the future!!
Narak says:
Really love this cute couple….This lakorn so awesome and adorable….
Astra says:
Thanks for taking time from what appears to be a lovely weekend weather wise to reap this for us. So sad that this is over. Can't wait for you final review. Totally want to deconstruct this one with you (if you are up for it). I owe you a big thank you for translating Vilai and Toons exchange from the previous recap. It's been one of those crazy busy weeks that I have not had the time or energy to do much more than work. But that thank you for the translation. It was a really funny exchange.
Ok, I just don't get Nee. She just slept with the man she loves, who clearly loves her very much too and all she can think about is Toon? This, even after he told her that he loves her and not Toon. Does she feel like she just cheated with her best friend's boyfriend/fiance ? Good girl Darunee realized that she not only has a bad girl side to her (in more ways than one) and just wants to make amends ? Athith has the patience of a saint. I might have lost my patience with her if I was in his place and asked her to quit being such a victim. I think her wild banana act and Grandma's lecture asking her to grow up traumatized and impacted her more than was shown. Otherwise, it's hard to find an explanation for her thought process just right after spending the night with the man she loves(and who loves her back).
Anyway, alls well that ends well.
"We are given a poignant story about two people's intertwined lives and taken on a journey to watch their character blossoming and their love growing. A sweet finale with no rocks left unturned (well maybe a few things, but will divulge that in a review later), we still get a sense of completion and resolution." — Bang on.
This was my quick and dirty for now. So much more to share about this when I get a chance later. Enjoy your lovely weekend!
@gnuhp- you're welcome! I hope they film in another lakorn together soon too!
@Narak- agreed!
@Astra- I had a relaxing weekend, lots of sunshine, so not much to complain 🙂 I should have a review ready in the next week or so, trying to digest the lakorn as a whole. I hope next week is not has hectic for you! Thanks for always chiming in!
riposhi says:
Thank you so so much for recapping the entire series. I've been checking your site every week for this and it's been such a pleasure to read it, then watch the episodes on Youtube after. Without it, I wouldn't be able to keep up with the series as I speak zero Thai.
You're so welcome riposhi! Thanks for your support and feedback 🙂

Susan Eckstein - Cuban Privilege: The Making of Immigrant Inequality in America
Joukowsky Forum, 111 Thayer Street
Register here to join the webinar.
Join us for a book launch featuring Boston University professor Susan Eckstein. Professor Eckstein will present her latest publication, "Cuban Privilege: The Making of Immigrant Inequality in America." A brief description follows:
For over half a century the US granted Cubans, one of the largest immigrant groups in the country, unique entitlements. While other unauthorized immigrants faced detention, deportation, and no legal rights, Cuban immigrants were able to enter the country without authorization, and have access to welfare benefits and citizenship status. This book is the first to reveal the full range of entitlements granted to Cubans. Initially privileged to undermine the Castro-led revolution in the throes of the Cold War, one US President after another extended new entitlements, even in the post-Cold War era. Drawing on unseen archives, interviews, and survey data, Cuban Privilege highlights how Washington, in the process of privileging Cubans, transformed them from agents of US Cold War foreign policy into a politically powerful force influencing national policy. Comparing the exclusionary treatment of neighboring Haitians, the book discloses the racial and political biases embedded within US immigration policy.
Copies will be available for purchase courtesy of the Brown bookstore.
Susan Eckstein is a Professor in the Pardee School of Global Studies and in the Sociology Department at Boston University. She has written numerous books and articles on Mexican urban poor, political-economic developments in Cuba, Cuban immigrants, immigration policy, impacts of Latin American revolutions, and edited books on Latin American social movements and social rights, and on immigrant impacts in their homelands. Her books include How Immigrants Impact Their Homelands (co-editor), The Immigrant Divide: How Cuban Americans Changed the U.S. and Their Homeland, What Justice? Whose Justice? Fighting for Fairness in Latin America (co-editor), Struggles for Social Rights in Latin America (co-editor), Back from the Future: Cuba under Castro, Power and Popular Protest: Latin American Social Movements (editor), The Poverty of Revolution: The State and Urban Poor in Mexico, The Impact of Revolution: A Comparative Analysis of Mexico and Bolivia. In January 2022 Cambridge University Press will publish her most recent book, Cuban Privilege: The Making of Immigrant Inequality in America. She is the recipient of fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, the American Council on Learned Societies, the Ford Foundation, John D. and Catherine MacArthur Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Tinker Foundation, and Christopher Reynolds Foundation. She has received a number of awards for her publications.


Save money. Use the U.S. News Best Price Program to find the best local prices on the V90.
The 2019 Volvo V90 ranked #4 in Wagons. Currently the Volvo V90 has a score of 8.2 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 15 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Luxurious accommodations and high-tech features make the 2019 Volvo V90's cabin one of the nicest in the class, but middle-of-the-road performance and a below-average predicted reliability rating push it to the bottom-third of our wagon rankings.
Is the Volvo V90 a Good Wagon?
Yes, the Volvo V90 is a good wagon that serves as a luxury-grade option for those who also favor nonconformity. The V90 doesn't offer as much cargo space as most wagons, but it more than makes up for that by pampering its guests with magnificent seats and an airy cabin. Adding to its excellent interior is a set of state-of-the-art systems: a semiautonomous drive mode and a feature-rich infotainment interface, both standard. Though its driving manners are reasonable, and there are no significant issues with the V90's performance, it doesn't offer much excitement on the highway. Its main shortcoming is a below-average predicted reliability rating.
Should I Buy the Volvo V90?
The Volvo V90 is a great pick if you want a luxury vehicle overflowing with top-shelf cabin materials, pleasurable seats, and cutting-edge technology. This combination of attributes in a wagon body style isn't common, but that doesn't mean the V90 is the only option for luxury shoppers. For instance, you can get a similar list of interior features and trimmings, plus a lot more cargo space, with the Volvo XC90. This luxury midsize SUV also seats seven people and has a similar starting price to the V90.
If you want to stay within the luxury wagon category, there are only a few other new cars to consider. Mercedes-Benz builds a wagon version of its well-rounded E-Class. The E 450 wagon impresses with its marvelous seats, energetic engines, and abundance of safety features, though it costs about $13,000 more than a V90. Pricing for the Jaguar XF Sportbrake wagon also starts north of $64,000. With its dynamic handling and potent engines, the XF is a superb choice for spirited drivers in search of a wagon.
Should I Buy a New or Used Volvo V90?
Volvo released the V90 as a brand-new model for 2018, so used models won't be plentiful. However, it will be worth it if you can locate one. Bypassing a new V90 in favor of a used model will likely save you money on a nearly identical car. If you're considering an older model, be sure to read our 2018 V90 review to help make your decision. Also check out our Used Car Deals page to learn about savings and discounts you can find on used cars.
Our goal is to make shopping for your next car as easy as possible. You'll find everything you need to know about the Volvo V90 in our comprehensive review. It combines concrete data (like fuel economy estimates, horsepower specs, and cargo space dimensions) with 15 professional Volvo V90 reviews.
This 2019 Volvo V90 review incorporates applicable research for all model years in this generation, which runs from 2018 to 2019.
How Much Does the Volvo V90 Cost?
With an MSRP that starts just above $51,000, the 2019 V90 is one of the priciest entries in our wagon rankings. In comparison, prices start at $45,700 for the Audi A4 Allroad luxury wagon, while prices for non-luxury brands begin at around $22,000 for the Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, $26,000 for the Subaru Outback, and $27,000 for the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack.
The V90 comes in four trim levels. Two of these are exclusive to the exploration-ready V90 Cross Country, which starts at about $53,000. For more information on trim levels and pricing, see our Which Volvo V90 Model Is Right for Me? section below.

Which Is Better: Volvo V90 or Jaguar XF Sportbrake?
For a luxury wagon that offers driving excitement, the Jaguar XF Sportbrake is the way to go. Its adjustable drive modes range from road-trip relaxing to sporty and nimble. If the base 296-horsepower engine isn't meaty enough for you, a 380-horsepower engine is available. Standard features include all-wheel drive and grained leather seats. Shoppers who don't get their kicks from lively handling should stick with the V90, which is less expensive and has superior standard technology.
Which Is Better: Volvo V90 or Volvo V60?
The V60 is another station wagon built by Volvo. Though the V60 measures almost 7 inches shorter than the V90, it still has a roomy cabin and lots of cargo space. One of the biggest differences between the two is the list of standard safety features: The V90 easily trounces its smaller sibling in this regard. Shoppers will have to decide if this suite of advanced safety features is worth the extra $13,000.
How Many People Does the V90 Seat?
The V90 is a five-seat wagon that earns top accolades for its passenger comfort. A bevy of adjustments, supportive cushions, and good sightlines greet front-seat travelers. With ample room in the V90's front and rear seats, you'll have no problem carrying a foursome to the basketball court. The standard seat upholstery is a combination of cloth and leather. Full Nappa leather seats are available, as are heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats and heated rear seats.
The V90 has full sets of LATCH anchors at its outboard rear seats and a tether anchor at the middle rear seat.
A rich assortment of high-quality materials, elegant styling, and sumptuous seats help make the V90's cabin one of the best in the class. Shoppers can select from top-shelf options such as walnut, dark flame birch, carbon fiber, and grained leather.
The V90's 19.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats isn't very generous. That's one of the smallest figures in our wagon rankings and less space than the average luxury compact SUV provides, though it does beat the Volvo XC60. Folding the 60/40 split rear seat can yield as much as about 54 cubic feet, which is also below average. Fortunately, a hands-free liftgate is standard, so accessing the cargo area when both hands are full takes less effort.
The V90 comes with a 9-inch vertically mounted touch screen. It boasts a stunning display, and its screen can be split to show cabin settings and Apple CarPlay or Android Auto simultaneously. For the most part, the V90's Sensus infotainment interface is straightforward and responsive. It does take a few moments to activate when you first start the car, though, and some professional reviewers note that there is an overabundance of menus to access some settings.
The V90 also comes standard with a navigation system and satellite radio. Of its tech options, the 19-speaker Bowers & Wilkins premium sound system is well worth the money and will be beloved by audiophiles.
The 2019 V90 comes with one of two engines. The standard T5 engine is a turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 250 horsepower. It is the more economical choice – owing to its lower price and better fuel economy rating – and has a respectable amount of get-up-and-go. For more oomph, select the T6 engine, which is available in every trim level. With both a turbocharger and a supercharger, this twin-charged four-cylinder cranks out 316 horsepower. On the downside, upgrading to the T6 adds as much as $6,000 to the purchase price, though this option also includes all-wheel drive. All powertrains include an eight-speed automatic transmission that's mostly responsive but occasionally lags when shifting.
The base front-wheel V90 gets 23 mpg in the city (which is typical for a wagon) and 35 mpg on the highway (which is above average). With the T6 engine and all-wheel drive, fuel economy drops to 20-21 mpg in the city and 30-31 mpg on the highway. For the average driver, this increases annual fuel costs by $150 to $250.
The V90 feels stable and secure on the highway, with reasonably responsive steering, good grip, and minimal body roll. Its ride is mostly comfortable, and a rear air suspension system is available if you want an even cushier ride. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is available.
Is the Volvo V90 Reliable?
The V90 has a below-average predicted reliability rating of 2.5 out of five from J.D. Power.
Volvo covers the 2019 V90 with a four-year/50,000-mile basic warranty.
As of this writing, neither the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety nor the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has crash tested the 2019 V90.
Volvo models are renowned for boasting a remarkable number of high-tech safety features, and the V90 is no different. Among its standard safety features are advanced systems that include forward and rear collision warning, active steering for collision prevention, active blind spot monitoring, adaptive headlights, and road-sign recognition. The standard Pilot Assist is a semiautonomous driving system that can operate the steering, throttle, and brakes for short periods of time. Distance alert, driver attention monitoring, lane keep assist, rain-sensing windshield wipers, rear cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, a rearview camera, and rear parking sensors are also standard. Options such as a head-up display, a 360-degree camera, and active park assist are available.
Which Volvo V90 Model Is Right for Me?
The 2019 V90 is available in two trim levels – R-Design and Inscription – and the 2019 V90 Cross Country comes in two principal trims: Cross Country and Ocean Race. A slight shift in focus separates the V90 from its Cross Country sibling, with the former emphasizing comfort and luxury, and the latter gaining a few off-roading extras. Most models come with the choice of the standard T5 engine (a 250-horsepower four-cylinder) or the uplevel T6 engine (a 316-horsepower four-cylinder). Front-wheel drive is standard in all V90 models, and all-wheel drive is available if you also upgrade to the T6 engine. All Cross Country editions come standard with all-wheel drive.
Of the V90 models, we recommend the V90 R-Design as the best value. It comes equipped with an appealing number of standard features. If you are longing for the upgrades that come with the upper trim, know that you can add leather upholstery and heated front seats for around $1,200 instead of paying an extra $2,000 to step up to the Inscription.
Volvo offers a few packages in addition to its standalone options. The Convenience package bundles together goodies such as a 360-degree surround-view camera, active parallel and perpendicular parking, and front parking sensors. Opulent extras in the Luxury package include Nappa leather seats, massaging seats in the front, heated seats and sunshades in the rear, and additional leather trimming throughout. Price and availability of packages is dependent on the trim level.
The entry-level R-Design trim comes with a cloth/leather upholstery combination, power-adjustable front seats, four-zone automatic climate control, a panoramic sunroof, and 18-inch alloy wheels. Standard technology includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a navigation system, proximity keyless entry, and a lengthy list of advanced safety systems. Prices start at $51,450 for the T5 FWD model and $57,450 for the T6 AWD model.
Posh upgrades to the V90 Inscription include Nappa leather seats, plus heated and ventilated front seats. This trim is available as the T5 FWD ($53,450) and the T6 AWD ($59,450).
The base model of the V90 Cross Country has a nearly identical set of standard features as the V90 R-Design, though there are some differences. For example, adaptive headlights come standard in the R-Design but not in the base Cross Country. The Cross Country also has an 8-inch driver display in place of the 12.3-inch display that comes in all other models, and dual-zone automatic climate control instead of quad-zone climate control. All-wheel drive is standard, and shoppers have the choice between the T5 engine (MSRP: $52,550) and the T6 engine (MSRP: $56,350).
With a nod to a notorious yacht race, the Cross Country Volvo Ocean Race boasts trim-specific styling elements inside and out, along with a few adventure-oriented features and options. Inside, most of its standard features mirror that of the base Cross Country, though the Ocean Race edition does come with a few upgrades, such as four-zone automatic climate control. Available only in the T6 AWD configuration, prices start at $60,500 for this nautically named V90.
The 2019 Volvo V90 does an outstanding job of treating travelers well. It envelopes them in an opulent, comfortable setting, and reassures with its impressive list of standard safety features. The V90 excels in the niche category of luxury wagons but may not be the best package when you add luxury SUVs or nonluxury wagons to the mix. Its below-average predicted reliability rating is further reason to consider an alternative.

Sheet metal assembly is a common assembly process for several products such as automobiles and airplanes. Since all manufacturing processes are affected by variation, and products need to have a high geometric quality, geometry-related production problems must be analyzed during early design phases. This paper discusses two methods of performing this analysis. One way of performing the simulations relatively fast is to establish linear relationships between part deviation and assembly springback deviation by using the method of influence coefficient (MIC). However, this method does not consider contact between the parts. This means that the parts are allowed to penetrate each other which can affect the accuracy of the simulation result. This paper presents a simple contact modeling technique that can be implemented in to MIC to avoid penetrations. The contact modeling consists of a contact detection and a contact equilibrium search algorithm. When implemented, MIC still only requires two finite element analysis (FEA) calculations. This paper describes the steps in the contact algorithm and how it can be used in MIC and finally the proposed contact modeling is verified by comparing the simulation result with commercial FEA software ABAQUS contact algorithm.

AUDIO-VISUEL
Tolkien was an accomplished amateur artist who painted for pleasure and relaxation. He excelled at landscapes and often drew inspiration from his own stories. He illustrated many scenes from The Silmarillion, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, sometimes drawing or painting as he was writing in order to visualize the imagined scene more clearly.
'The Misty Mountains'
For Tolkien writing, drawing, painting, creating maps and inventing languages and scripts were all part of a cohesive creative process. His artwork might illustrate a written passage or it might precede the written description. It might be inspired by the text or become the inspiration for it.
'I wisely started with a map, and made the story fit', Tolkien explained to a reader of The Lord of the Rings. In fact he made over thirty maps as he wrote the story. Some were meticulously plotted on graph paper in advance but others were sketched out as he was writing, in order to clarify the scene in his mind.
'Aldarion' written in Elvish characters and decorated scrolls
Tolkien's interest in languages and alphabets extended also to calligraphy. He experimented with different styles of handwriting and used them as integral elements in his literary work to denote different cultures and even individual characters.


Summary An issue was discovered in icoutils 0.31.1. A buffer overflow was observed in the "decode_ne_resource_id" function in the "restable.c" source file. This is happening because the "len" parameter for memcpy is not checked for size and thus becomes a negative integer in the process, resulting in a failed memcpy. This affects wrestool.
