The 17 Must-Have (Affordable) Home Cooking Tools, According to 10 Chefs
By Alex Robinson

Before this month, there were two things I could cook extremely well: eggs and cacio e pepe. Now? I can still only cook eggs and cacio e pepe. But I've been trying out new things, and I think by May I'll have at least four dishes under my belt. And surely I'm not the only one. A quick scan of Instagram will show you breads, confections, casseroles, and everything in between that people are making at home -- often for the first time. The simple truth is the world is cooking more because we must cook more. So, why not make the most of it and arm yourself with some of the best, affordable kitchen tools on the market.
I spoke with 17 chefs about their favorite kitchen tools, why they're important, and how you can use them to elevate your skills. The answers ranged from the obvious (chef's knife) to the idiosyncratic (a monkey peeler). Now, let's get cookin'.
Gotta get a good chef's knife | Amazon | Emily Carpenter
A (good) chef's knife
The operative word here is good. You can find a chef's knife at a corner store for $7. And sure, it'll cut carrots for a couple of days, but that blade will grow duller than a C-SPAN marathon. Adriana Velez, Thrillist's very own senior food editor and gourmand, told me "One of the most important pieces of equipment everyone should own is a quality chef's knife. Shitty cheap knives make cooking such a chore." If you're serious about cooking, she recommends Wusthof's 8" Chef's Knife. Though if you're on a budget, she said go for one from Ikea, like this stainless steel 8" number.
Lisa Chernick, food writer, author of Your Starter Kitchen (a book to help newbies start cooking), and James Beard Award judge agreed, "if you are going to have one knife in your starter kitchen, make it a chef's knife. A good one is an investment and it will be an indispensable tool you will use for a lifetime cooking."
Lisa McManus, the Executive Tasting & Testing Editor of America's Test Kitchen loves the $32 Victorinox Swiss Army Fibrox Pro 8" Chef's Knife. "With this cheap but excellent knife, I'm all set, whether I'm dicing onions, breaking down a whole chicken into pieces, mincing herbs, or quartering a hard butternut squash. It's beautifully made, comfortable to handle, and takes and holds a super-sharp, precise cutting edge. At this price, you're not tempted to save it for special occasions, you'll use it every single day."
Take of your cast iron and it'll take care of you | Amazon | Emily Carpenter
A dependable skillet
"A medium skillet is perfect for all your stovetop needs like scrambled eggs, steak, and pork chops -- plus it's easy to clean," Chernick said. The OXO 10" skillet is a great option here. And as a self-proclaimed expert egg cooker, I love a good skillet. I've been using a 10" All-Clad skillet for years now and I can't recommend it enough.
Of course, we can't talk skillets without recommending a cast iron one. McManus thinks everyone should have the $43 12" Lodge Classic Cast Iron Skillet. "It's affordable, absolutely indestructible, and actually gets better and more nonstick with use over time. We love its thick walls and heat-retaining properties that give you an amazing sear on foods and help you roast or bake beautifully."
Oh, saucy! | Amazon | Emily Carpenter
A saucepan you enjoy
Saucepans, frankly, come down to aesthetic and brand loyalty. There isn't a whole lot of difference from one to the other, but Chernick counts it as a kitchen necessity. You'll want "a mid-size saucepan (2-3 quarts). That size is perfect for soup, pasta, or reheating leftovers." Try this 2-quart stainless steel one from Cuisinart. However, if you're looking for savings, check out Faberware's model for $16.
Start cooking dinner in the morning | Amazon | Emily Carpenter
A slow cooker
If you've been sleeping on the slow cooker, it's time to wake up. "Without any hesitation, I'd say the best affordable cookware is definitely going to be a slow cooker,"said Stella Metsovas, the author of the cookbook Wild Mediterranean, "The convenience of being able to make anything from a braised whole chicken, soups, meats, fish, breakfast recipes like a frittata, and more tops my list as a must-have. All you have to do is literally throw a bunch of ingredients together, cover, and cook." Her favorite is this digital model from Hamilton Beach. However, if you're new to the idea of cooking things slowly, you might want to start out with this budget-friendly Crock Pot, which is currently on sale for $29.
Rice, rice baby! | Amazon | Emily Carpenter
A rice cooker
If you want to save money, be non-committal about cooking, and make delicious meals, a rice cooker should be at the top of your list. Hiro Mitsui, Executive Chef and founder of the DC hotspot Ramen by Uzu, had this to say: "As an Asian man, a good rice cooker is absolutely essential. I have to have a good bowl of rice, and being from Japan, rice is a staple in a lot of meals I make at home for my family." If you're as serious about rice as Hiro, you'll definitely want to grab his rec -- the Zojirushi NS-TSC10.
McManus is a big fan of the Aroma 8-Cup Digital Rice Cooker, Multicooker and Food Steamer which will set you back about $30. "This compact rice cooker is a great appliance at a bargain, and it produces perfectly cooked sushi rice, brown rice, long-grained white rice at the touch of a button, and then keeps it perfectly hot and steamy for hours without scorching or drying out the rice. A small steamer tray can sit above the rice as it cooks to steam fish, chicken, vegetables or dumplings at the same time. I use my rice cooker several times a week, and I wouldn't want to do without it."
This will cook literally everything | Amazon | Emily Carpenter
An Instant Pot/pressure cooker
While none of the chefs I spoke to specifically recommended an Instant Pot as an essential, I have one and it's the single most important piece of equipment in my kitchen. Making Instant Pot recipes has become a routine in my household and we use it at least three times a week because it cooks nearly everything to perfection. Pasta? Yep. Pork shoulder? You betcha. A cake? Yeah, it'll bake a freakin' cake. Put everything in, press a couple of buttons, wait 20-30 minutes, and you'll end up with a restaurant-quality meal. I own the Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 model and really can't sing its praises enough.
It'll all pan out | Amazon | Emily Carpenter
A sheet pan and cooling rack
A decidedly boring piece of kitchen equipment? Yes. An essential one? Absolutely. You can make countless meals, sides, snacks, and desserts on a sheet pan: veggies, roasts, cookies, cakes, your roommate's Totino's pizza rolls that she definitely didn't forget about. The point is you need one.
ATK's McManus writes, "Our favorite half-sheet pan (also known as a rimmed baking sheet) is the Nordic Ware Baker's Half Sheet. This versatile workhorse, combined with a grid-style cooling rack that fits inside, is at least five or six inexpensive, sturdy pans in one: A cookie sheet, a jelly roll, cake and pie pan, pizza pan, broiling pan, roasting pan, and a drip-catching draining rack for keeping breading on fried foods crisp and intact. We found that everything prepared in this sturdy, warp-resistant sheet pan cooked well and evenly." As for the cooling rack, you'll use that "when you want to lift up foods like crispy oven-fried chicken wings for excellent heat circulation -- or use it on its own to cool your entire tray of cookies without crowding."
Chernick echoes the sentiment: "Sheet pans are perfect for roasting in the oven and it will transform any dish, from pork chops to roasted vegetables. You can even section off the pan to roast your entire meal -- half for your meat and the other half for your vegetable of choice." Of course you can buy the sheet and cooling rack separately, or you can get them bundled like this set from Kitchenatics.
A Dutch oven will last you for years | Amazon | Emily Carpenter
A Dutch oven
When it comes to the Dutch oven, our experts said there are really only two choices: The $72 Cuisinart Chef's Classic Enameled Cast Iron Covered Casserole, which McManus said "...costs less than a quarter of our top-rated Dutch oven by Le Creuset, and performs beautifully. We use this large, heavy-duty pot for boiling, searing, frying, braising, and baking food and for sous vide cooking. We turn it into a smoker, steamer, cooler, and panini press. It might just be the busiest pot in our test kitchen -- and in my house."
The other? The Dutch oven by Le Creuset. Chef Jeff Osaka, who owns several restaurants in the Denver area (including Sushi-Rama, Osaka Ramen, 12@Madison, and The Empire Lounge & Restaurant) "can't live without it." He acknowledges that it's "not affordable as an initial investment, but it pays off BIG TIME over a lifetime." Osaka keeps it real, simple, and real simple: "it's durable, holds its heat, ovenproof, and easy to clean."
The ultimate tool for making guac | Amazon | Emily Carpenter
A mortar and pestle
This is a bit more niche than some of the other items you'll see here, but nevertheless, it's something that came up repeatedly. Tim Hollingsworth, winner of Netflix's The Final Table and chef/owner of Otium in Downtown Los Angeles, said it's his favorite piece of affordable cookware. "I love my mortar and pestle because the flavor you get from fresh ground spices is unparalleled. I'm from Texas so I make a lot of Texas style BBQ when seasoning my meats. Not only can you grind spices, but you can crush different herbs to make different pastes, sauces or dips like pesto, salsas, guacamole." Velez also mentioned it made the list of her faves, as it's perfect for grinding spices and nuts. Amazon has a huge selection.
Never scratch a frying pan again | Amazon | Emily Carpenter
A rubber spatula
Ah yes. The pragmatic rubber spatula. It'll help you slide eggs off the frying pan without scraping it, get cookies off the baking sheet without breaking them, it'll effortlessly flip your pancakes. It truly is the most egalitarian of cooking utensils. When I asked Velez for her top tools, she promptly replied, "I couldn't cope without a silicone rubber scraper." Grab a pack of four for $10 and never scratch a pan again.
Slice it, mince it, chop it | Amazon | Emily Carpenter
A food processor
Britt Berlin, who runs the drool-worthy Instagram account, The Banana Diaries, loves the Hamilton Beach 10-Cup Food Processor. "My Hamilton Beach processor has lasted me 6 years and it's still going strong. I really love the high-speed controls because it allows you to finely process ingredients much better than using a blender or even other smaller food processors." And best of all? It's under $50.
You will use these way more than you think | Amazon | Emily Carpenter
"Tongs would be another one of my top must-have items and tie with the chef's knife. Tongs are essential to any kitchen and are a multi-purpose tool," said Chernick "They can be used to flip a steak, stir pasta, and turn vegetables." In other words, they're a no-brainer must-have, and you can grab yourself a set of two right here for under $10.
Perfect for cooking pancakes, bacon, and eggs. At the same time. | Amazon | Emily Carpenter
A cast iron plancha (a.k.a. stovetop griddle)
If you need to grill up bacon and eggs for 4 or 5 people, this is calling your name. Chef Andrew Weismann, head chef & owner of Signature at La Cantera Resort and Spa in San Antonio, calls it his go-to workhorse cooking tool. "It reheats tortillas and breakfast tacos like a son of a B," he said "It's an essential South Texas must-have item. It's so easy to clean, we just wipe it down after every use. I've even got my kids hooked. They cook a mean fried egg and even pancakes on it. My favorite is searing steaks and scallops and even whipping up another south Texas favorite, quesadillas." You can grab one now for just $40, and as long as you treat it right it'll likely last you decades.
Gotta store those veggies somewhere | Amazon | Emily Carpenter
Plastic or glass storage containers are a necessity. And although you'll have to pry my copy of Microwaving Cooking For One from my cold dead hands, I understand that cooking a meal usually means having leftovers. If you're looking for something top of the line, this set from Uncommon Goods reigns supreme. If, like me, you end up with 4 lidless containers sitting around taunting you every time you open a cupboard, maybe these ones from Rubbermaid are more your speed.
Will not actually seal your vacuum however | Amazon | Emily Carpenter
A vacuum sealer
Small, useful, and can even seal clothing! Talk about a workhorse. Mitsui had this to add: "I'm a huge fan of my vacuum sealer. Especially in a time like this when opportunities to go grocery shopping are scarce, if you're purchasing fresh meat or items that don't stay fresh for very long, having a sealer at your disposal can make all the difference." They run anywhere from $35 to $200 depending on your needs, but for home cooking, you should easily be able to get a solid one for under $40.
A great tool, no matter how you slice it | Amazon | Emily Carpenter
A peeler/mandoline
Ben Tenner, Chef de Cuisine and partner at Espita DC counts a mandoline slicer as a must. "A Japanese style mandolin (specifically this one made by Benriner) is in my essential toolbox, it makes slicing large quantities of super thin vegetables a quick endeavor (think French onion soup)," he said "It's also how I get that perfect julienne or superfine mince, which takes your home garnish game to the next level."
For something a little more affordable, Mitsui recommends this hand mandoline, which he insists is "perfect for when you want to slice your vegetables extra thin, evenly, and beautifully. Just make sure you don't slice your fingers." As for Velez? She's obsessed with this monkey peeler.
Sous Vide... did she ever go by Sousan? | Amazon | Emily Carpenter
A sous vide
Chef Mitsui made clear that everyone should invest in a sous vide "because it's an easy way to cook extremely tender meat without much effort (truly, if you've never had a steak cooked in a sous vide, you're in for a revelatory experience). "They make cooking a breeze," he said. "I love this one from Anova, and it's just under $100."
And I know this is just scratching the surface. If you ask anyone who cooks -- as a hobby or profession -- they'll tell you five different things you need almost every time (aside from a chef's knife, apparently). But if you've decided to bust out the recipe books and try your hand at the culinary arts, hopefully you gleaned a bit of knowledge and confidence about where to start. Maybe with some cacio e pepe. Bon appetit.
Alex Robinson is a writer and editor who WILL perfect cacio e pepe before the end of April. Follow his misadventures on Instagram.

New bus rapid transit system to support urban development in growing city
A new BRT (bus rapid transit) system, Denmark's first, will help boost the city of Aalborg and support future urban development. The system is expected to be ready in 2023. COWI will assist Aalborg Municipality in the design of the new system.
New construction projects such as New Aalborg University Hospital and a high inflow of residents are putting pressure on the infrastructure in Aalborg, Denmark 4th biggest city. Traffic congestion is increasing and public transit is struggling to keep up with demand.
To meet the challenges, the municipality has decided to invest in a bus rapid transit system (BRT) , a climate- and user-friendly public transit solution that – just like light rail – runs in a separate or congestion-free alignment. A BRT bus can fit 150-200 persons. The line will run from the racetrack in the west to New Aalborg University Hospital in the east.
Not only will the line help solve the traffic challenges by offering a great alternative to car traffic; it is also a vast urban development project that will boost the city considerably by creating cohesion between urban development and public transit.
"Up to 50,000 residents will live less than 500 metres from a BRT station, which will provide unseen flexibility and mobility and fundamentally change the city's coherence. This will be the first real BRT system in Denmark, but we have solid experience with light rail projects in other cities. In many ways, we're using the same competencies and solutions to design a BRT line," says Thomas Sørensen, Project Manager in COWI.
In many cases, BRT is considered a viable transportation solution to create better mobility in growing cities around the world.
Aalborg Municipality has split the 12-kilometre BRT section into 13 construction packages and six station front areas. This split makes it possible to work on different parts of the section, while maintaining a sensible traffic flow in the city.
The call for tenders for the construction works will commence in October 2018.
FACTS about the new BRT system in Aalborg
The BRT line will include 22 stations from the racetrack in the west to New Aalborg University Hospital in the east.
The BRT line will run in a separate alignment and will always be given priority in intersections.
It will take a mere 32 minutes to travel the entire line.
BRT buses will fit 150-200 persons.
Buses will run at intervals of 7.5 minutes.
BRT buses will be as long as 25 metres.
You will be able to bring along bicycles and prams.
BRT busses are a green mode of transportation.
The BRT line is expected to open in 2023.

Lauren Shuler Donner is one of the most successful and prolific producers in Hollywood. To date, her films have grossed approximately $2 billion worldwide and counting.
Shuler Donner produced X-Men, directed by Bryan Singer and starring Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Romijn and Patrick Stewart, which was released in summer 2000 and emerged as one of the year's biggest hits.

In 1993, Shuler Donner produced two of the year's biggest hits: Ivan Reitman's acclaimed comedy Dave, starring Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver; and the widely praised family film Free Willy. Dave went on to earn an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture -- Comedy, while the response to Free Willy resulted in its star, Keiko the whale, being ultimately freed from captivity in real life.
Shuler Donner's more recent producing credits include the sequel Free Willy 2; Nora Ephron's romantic comedy hit You've Got Mail, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan; Oliver Stone's football drama Any Given Sunday, starring Al Pacino, Cameron Diaz, Dennis Quaid and Jamie Foxx; Richard Donner's Timeline; and Constantine, starring Keanu Reeves.

Her upcoming film projects include Unaccompanied Minors, which began filming in March under the direction of Paul Feig; The Secret Life of Bees, based on the best-selling novel; Wolverine, starring Hugh Jackman; and Cirque du Freak, written by Academy Award winner Brian Helgeland.
In addition to her work as a producer, Shuler Donner is actively involved in a number of philanthropic and environmental organizations. She and her husband, director Richard Donner, were honored by Mikhail Gorbachev's environmental organization, Global Green USA, with its 2000 Green Cross Millennium Award for Entertainment Industry Environmental Leadership.
Shuler Donner received Premiere Magazine's Producer Icon Award and the Vision Award from Retinitis Pigmentosa, and has been honored by Girls, Inc. and the Doctors Without Borders international medical organization.

Currently, she serves on the boards of the Hollygrove Children's Home, the Producers Guild of America and Planned Parenthood. She is also on the Advisory Boards of the Science Fiction Museum in Seattle and the Natural Resources Defense Council, and is an executive committee member of the producer's branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Q: How to have my iPad use Win 2008 server's internet connection? I have an iPad that is connected to my network's wireless router. However, this router is connected to my Win 2008 server, which is itself connected to the internet. The iPad is unable to connect to the public url for the exchange server on the server and has erratic internet access, where Windows laptops are provided with faultless internet access, even when they are not a member of the domain.
How do I solve this?

A: It sounds like a dns issue to me.  You'll want to have an internal dns server that knows to route *.example.com to your server's internal address and forward everything else to a public dns server like 8.8.8.8, and make sure your dhcp service hands out this dns server.
It could also be an ipv6 issue, as Apple products are configured to very strongly prefer ipv6 whenever they can.  If you have partial ipv6 support somewhere on your network (very possible to have without even knowning) it could be confusing the iPad.

When Dale E. Long asked Library Director, Gail Spragins, if the library in Linden could use a cash donation from the Viet Nam Veterans of America Chapter 1123, she was delighted. Spragins explained that she wanted to purchase from the list of Top Ten Western Books. In particular, she hoped to find the books in Large Print format.
According to Director Spragins, "Large print books cost nearly double the price of regular print books. It's worth the extra cost because the library in Linden serves many people in the community who can read only large print. For example, Pulitzer Prize Finalist "The Son" by Phillip Meyer costs about $40 in large print format."
With the generous donation from the Viet Nam Vets, Spragins purchased three additional Top Ten Westerns in large print: "The Virginian" by Owen Wister, "Wyatt Earp" by Max Braun, and "Hondo" by Louis L'Amour.
The 1968 bestseller "True Grit" by Charles Portis is no longer available in hardback for less than $100. And the book is not available in large print at any price. So, Spragins purchased a new, regular print, paperback copy for about $12. She also purchased a few other titles in regular print.
"We put the new books on the shelves last week, and they have already been checked out," said Spragins, "but the library has many other Westerns available in large and regular print. We are grateful to the local Viet Nam Veterans for supporting our local library."

Q: Why do I see an App Version Code as 'Unknown' in Google Playstore Console? I have an Android App which is live in the Playstore and I was analysing the ratings for different version codes. I found something which doesn't actually make much sense to me.
In the list of apps with version codes, there happens to be a version code labeled as Unknown
Each and every app which I had released had proper version codes with it (or else the playstore itself won't allow me to publish).
I am wondering from where this Unknown come from.
If anyone else had faced the same issue and have an explanation for the same, please help me grasp an explanation.
Attaching the screenshot for further clarity.

Thanks in advance :)

A: Here is the quote form different thread:

I contacted Google Play about this a while ago and they finally
  answered and offered a likely explanation about why the "Unknown"
  version(s) are the worst rated: If a user uninstalls the app, and
  after that decides to rate it, then the version will appear as unknown
  because the system can't figure out what version exactly the rating is
  referring to since the app is no longer on the user's device. And the
  users who are most likley to uninstall AND rate the app are those who
  really disliked it, hence the low ratings.

But in my case Uknown version doesn't have the lowest rating. It has the average.

A: "Unknown" indicates an unknown or invalid sender ID. You may check this related SO thread. One workaround given is to change your Google Analytics tracking code by using a new profile. Also, make sure that you use ProGuard to protect your codes.

Surgery Lowers RCC-Related Mortality
Jody A. Charnow
MILAN—Partial or radical nephrectomy is associated with a significant cancer-specific survival advantage over active surveillance for the management of localized kidney cancer among patients younger than 75 years, according to findings presented at the 28th annual congress of the European Association of Urology.
The protective effect of immediate surgery, however, needs to be weighed against the risk of death from other causes, said Maxine Sun, PhD, of the University of Montreal Health Center, the study's lead investigator.
Using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER)–Medicare linked database, Dr. Sun and her colleagues studied an observational cohort of 10,595 patients with clinically node-negative T1 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treated with nephrectomy or non-surgical management (NSM) from 1988 to 2005. Compared with patients treated with NSM, those treated with partial nephrectomy (PN) or radical nephrectomy (RN) had a significant 55% and 42% decreased risk of cancer-specific mortality (CSM), Dr. Sun reported. In the subset of 6,443 patients with T1a RCC the reduction in CSM risk was 59% and 53% for PN and RN, respectively.
The five- and eight-year CSM rates for the overall cohort were 10.2% and 11.7%, respectively, for NSM, 6.7% and 8.8% for RN, 3.1%, and 4.9% for PN. For patients with T1a RCC, the CSM rates were 7.4% and 8.5%, for NSM, 4.5% and 5.7% for RN, and 2.6% and 4.7% for PN.
Among patients aged 75 years and older, CSM did not differ significantly between patients who had nephrectomy or NSM.
"The current findings of this study show that it's very important to adequately select surgical candidates, as our results show that some of these patients do not live long enough to benefit from surgery," said Dr. Sun, who added that clinicians still face the dilemma of being unable to differentiate aggressive from non-aggressive tumors.
Furthermore, the results corroborate existing contemporary guidelines, which recommend active surveillance in patients with limited life expectancy, she said.
At the recent 2013 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, William C. Huang, MD, and colleagues reported on a study showing that surveillance for renal masses smaller than 4 cm was associated with a significant 16% decreased risk of death from any cause but that cancer-specific survival did not differ by management approach. The study also found that surveillance was associated with a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular events over time.
Alexander Kutikov, MD, Associate Professor of Urologic Oncology at Temple University's Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, noted that "we must await publication of finalized manuscripts from each group to make meaningful comparisons between the two studies." He warned, however, that these data "must be interpreted with extreme caution because a 'no treatment' group in an administrative dataset such as SEER cannot be equated to cohorts on active surveillance in modern urologic practice." This is underscored by the fact that more than 30% of patients in each study were on so-called "active surveillance."
"This percentage is extremely high even for institutions that have a robust active surveillance protocol in place today, while the cohorts captured patients from earlier time periods, before active surveillance ever gained meaningful clinical traction," Dr. Kutikov said. "Furthermore, although the Sun and Huang groups used sophisticated statistical manipulations such as instrumental variable analysis and propensity score methodology [respectively], it is virtually impossible to appropriately adjust for measured and unmeasured confounders in pre-selected heterogeneous cohorts, thus rendering conclusions from these analyses hypothesis-generating at best."

Lower loan interest, longer repayment term for an affordable price – The National
By Morton L. Richardson on November 27, 2019 Loan interest
REBECCA KUKU
Last Wednesday, The National reporter REBECCA KUKU addressed the massive challenges and the history of the government's efforts to provide affordable housing in Papua New Guinea. In this second part of her report, she examines the details and qualifications for government-assisted funding.
Interest in home ownership and affordable home loan products has been high since the introduction of the Bank of the South Pacific (BSP) -Papua New Guinea Government's First Home Owners Scheme (FHOS) ( PNG) (GoPNG) in 2014.
As part of GoPNG, the government has provided BSP with up to K200 million seed funding as a deposit to support its initiative to improve access to credit for first-time homebuyers in Papua New Guinea.
The program is now seen as a catalyst for the growth of the housing market. The market has since become attractive to real estate developers who have started building affordable homes in Port Moresby.
Some of the developers have already invested in the market, selling residential developments that include land and building, while others have products to offer but are unable to secure land.
The FHOS is a medium and long term loan available for the construction of houses to be occupied by the borrower on vacant land titled by the State.
The loan is also available for new home buyers who are not older than six months.
The FHOS is accessible to any Papua New Guinea by birth who is employed on a permanent basis in the public service or in the private sector and who, together with his partners (married or de facto), does not already own or do not have a part of property on land leased by the State.
Eligible public service and private sector employees who meet the bank's requirements, credit terms, repayment and loan service standards can apply.
Those who have home ownership programs in place to help employees become first-time home owners can also apply.
The only rule being that the property cannot be leased / sublet or leased.
However, restrictions will apply to refinancing or reselling the property under this program. The loan must be for the borrower's first home and must be owner occupied.
The FHOS loan
Loans can be obtained under this program at a minimum of K200,000 and up to K400,000.
The minimum and maximum loan amounts are subject to a debt service ratio not exceeding 40 percent of the borrower's gross basic income.
The maximum loan term is 40 years. It is not linked to the age of 65 of the borrower. The loan can be transferred or amended to include the borrower's immediate dependents, provided they find employment to help with future loan repayments.
Total loan repayments will not exceed 40 percent of the total basic income of the borrower (s). Where salary deductions cannot be facilitated, a standing order authorization may also be used.
This loan is available within PNG and applications can be submitted to any BSP branch, while the loan is subject to the bank's normal credit assessment and approval.
Any one-time charges, including the loan set-up fee at the time of settlement and the first year insurance fee and property tax, may be added to the total loan amount during the initial appraisal process.
The renewal feature is available to cover annual recurring costs only, such as insurance policy renewal and property tax.
Government fees and charges
A one-time setup fee is calculated at 1 percent of the approved loan amount. There are no other fees applicable to the product during the life of the loan, which means that all arrears on the loan (interest and principal) will incur late interest charged at the standard rate. And all other bank charges will be exempt at the origin of the loan; only applicable fees are government and statutory fees.
The FHOS loan is available in PNG only and applies to natural persons who are nationals of PNG who:
ARE applying for a home loan from BSP;
DO NOT own or partially own any property under a state lease;
WHOSE spouse or common-law partner does not own or own property under a state lease; and
HAVE not already applied for another housing program.
BSP FHOS loan request COMPLETED;
PROVIDED three (3) last payslips;
CONFIRMATION of employer's letter of employment disclosing salary and housing allowance (if applicable) or copy of employment contract;
COPY of the seller's title deed confirming that the land and lease are owned by the State;
PROOF and proof of a 10% capital contribution;
STATUTORY Declaration – declaring that no other property is owned by the borrower (s) and that this acquisition is the first house that will be occupied by the owner;
STATEMENT of outstanding debts with other banks or lenders showing three-month transactions; and
PROVIDE a three (3) month statement if another bank customer.
Papua New Guinea wishing to obtain a loan should bring the following documents with them to their nearest BSP bank.
BSP mortgage application completed;
THREE (3) last payslips;
letter of CONFIRMATION of employment from employer disclosing salary and housing allowance (if applicable) or copy of employment contract (if applicable);
LETTER of offer disclosing the purchase price; and
ACCEPTANCE of the offer by the seller.
COPY of seller's title deed confirming ownership;
PROOF of 20% equity contribution;
STATEMENT of outstanding debts with other banks or lenders showing three-month transactions;
PROVIDE a three (3) month statement if you are banking with other banks.
The majority of loans financed are primarily in Port Moresby, largely due to the size of the market and increased interest from real estate developers. However, the interests of potential home buyers also remain nationwide, from young professionals to long-time employees in the public and private sectors.
There are currently 54 real estate developers registered with the BSP that Papua New Guinea can buy their FHOS homes.
However, like all things, there have also been many reviews of the BSP FHOS, with many critics claiming that it is beyond the reach of the majority, and that it has been impossible for an average worker with a salary of K 30,000 a year set up a 10 percent deposit to secure a K 200,000 loan with regular bi-weekly repayments over 40 years, given the high cost of living in a town like Port Moresby.
Most middle and low income Papua New Guinea do not have access to this loan.
In 2016, a report (not The National) was titled "NRI: Government Housing Scheme out of reach".
The report stated that the government's so-called FHOS was beyond the reach of most citizens and that it was nearly impossible for an average worker with an annual salary of K 30,000 to put down a 10% deposit to get a 200 K, 000,000 loan with regular bi-weekly repayments over 40 years given the high cost of living in a town like Port Moresby.
At that time, BSP (Retail) Managing Director Paul Thornton said that while there were many constraints to affordable homeownership, there were concerted efforts from both the industry private and government to overcome the problems.
"BSP has dramatically changed the nature of home loan products. In the past, a home loan was normally for 25 years, had an annual interest rate of 8 percent, and required a 20 percent equity contribution. This would translate into bimonthly repayments of approximately K1425.
"With the introduction of FHOS loans, the duration of the facility has been extended to 40 years, the interest rate has been reduced to 4 percent and only requires a 10 percent equity contribution. This reduces the bi-monthly loan repayments to around K771.
Thornton… BSP has dramatically changed the nature of home loan products.
Thornton added, "When it comes to GoPNG's BSP and FHOS, it's also important to understand that BSP did not receive a K 200 million grant to lend to FHOS homeowners. Instead, the government placed the funds with BSP to enable the bank to lower the cost of its funds and offer a home loan product with a low interest rate, longer repayment terms, and special eligibility conditions.
"The FHOS is for newly built homes and it generates employment when it is most needed. Customers who are not FHOS or who are borrowing for existing homes or for amounts over K 400,000 in owner-occupied, can still get a 40-year standard home loan at rates between 7-8 %.
Thornton also told The National in a recent interview that when it comes to the 10 percent equity (or down payment), borrowers could raise that amount from a variety of sources.
"Some employees help their staff with this capital contribution, but most borrowers get their capital as an advance on their pension contributions. The maximum loan amount is K400,000.
"Because the loan term is relatively long (40 years), it is in the interest of the home owner and the bank to ensure that the home is built with quality materials and built by a qualified builder. . For a similar reason, the FHOS applies to new homes that are no more than six months old.
"The repayment of a loan of 200,000 K at an interest rate of 4% per annum over 40 years is approximately 385 K per fortnight. Not all borrowers are the same and many have different financial and family commitments, but based on an annual salary of K 30,000, repayments of K 385 per fortnight represent 34% of their gross income before taxes and other expenses. .
"Buying a home is a commitment and in addition to making regular loan repayments every fortnight, a homeowner will also need to set aside or save funds to cover annual insurance premiums, property rates. , water tariffs and municipal charges. They should also set aside funds to perform occasional maintenance on the house to ensure that it is always kept in good repair.
"Since the introduction of FHOS, BSP has approved 850 loans and the number is steadily increasing.
"It's really within the grasp of a lot of people, but it's also a long-term commitment," Thornton said.

Cisco Research Reveals Common Data Loss Mistakes
Global study explores behavioral risks based on country, culture - from accessing unauthorized facilities and networks to intentionally leaking corporate information
SAN JOSE, Calif. - September 30, 2008 - Cisco® today announced findings from a new global security study that spotlights numerous risks taken by employees that can lead to one of the most prominent security concerns for businesses: the loss of corporate information. The study identifies common data leakage mistakes among workforces around the world and is based on surveys of more than 2,000 employees and information technology professionals in 10 countries. The findings show that behavioral risks of employees can vary by country and culture, creating opportunities for businesses to tailor risk management plans that prevent incidents locally while remaining global in scope.
Conducted by InsightExpress, a U.S.-based market research firm, the study was commissioned by Cisco to examine security and data leakage (www.cisco.com/go/dlp) implications for businesses at a time when employee lifestyles and work environments are changing dramatically. As the reliance on centralized offices shifts to distributed business models and remote workforces, lines are blurring between work life and personal life. This operational shift for businesses and the lifestyle overlap for employees are driven in large part by the proliferation of collaborative devices and applications that are used for both purposes, including mobile phones, laptops, Web 2.0 applications, video and other social media.
This evolving business environment serves as a backdrop for the study, which surveyed 1,000 employees and 1,000 IT professionals from various industries and company sizes in 10 countries: the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, China, India, Australia, and Brazil. The countries were chosen because they represent a diverse set of social and business cultures, established and emerging network-dependent economies and varied levels of Internet adoption.
"We conducted this research in order to understand behavior, not technology per se," said John N. Stewart, chief security officer of Cisco. "Security is ultimately rooted in users behavior, so businesses of all sizes and employees in all professions need to understand how behavior affects the risk and reality of data loss - and what that ultimately means for both the individual and enterprise. Understanding this can help strengthen relationships between IT and employees, tailor localized awareness and education programs, and better manage risk. Simply put, security practices can be more effective when all users realize what their actions result in."
Of the many behavioral findings, the 10 most noteworthy were:
1.Altering security settings on computers: One of five employees altered security settings on work devices to bypass IT policy so they could access unauthorized Web sites. This was most common in emerging economies like China and India. When asked why, more than half (52 percent) said they simply wanted to access the site; a third said, "it's no one's business" which sites they access.
2.Use of unauthorized applications: Seven of 10 IT professionals said employee access of unauthorized applications and Web sites (e.g. unsanctioned social media, music download software, online shopping venues) ultimately resulted in as many as half of their companies' data loss incidents. This belief was most common in countries like the United States (74 percent) and India (79 percent).
3.Unauthorized network/facility access: In the past year, two of five IT pros dealt with employees accessing unauthorized parts of a network or facility. This was most prevalent in China, where almost two of three respondents encountered this issue. Of those who reported this issue globally, two-thirds encountered multiple incidents in the past year, and 14 percent encountered this issue monthly.
4.Sharing sensitive corporate information: In a sign that corporate trade secrets aren't always secret, one of four employees (24 percent) admitted verbally sharing sensitive information to non-employees, such as friends, family, or even strangers. When asked why, some of the most common answers included, "I needed to bounce an idea off someone", "I needed to vent", and "I did not see anything wrong with it."
5.Sharing corporate devices: In a sign that data isn't always in the hands of the right people, almost half of the employees surveyed (44 percent) share work devices with others, such as non-employees, without supervision.
6.Blurring of work and personal devices, communications: Almost two of three employees admitted using work computers daily for personal use. Activities included music downloads, shopping, banking, blogging, participating in chat groups, and more. Half of the employees use personal email to reach customers and colleagues, but only 40 percent said this is authorized by IT.
7.Unprotected devices: At least one in three employees leave computers logged on and unlocked when they're away from their desk. These employees also tend to leave laptops on their desks overnight, sometimes without logging off, creating potential theft incidents and access to corporate and personal data.
8.Storing logins and passwords: One in five employees store system logins and passwords on their computer or write them down and leave them on their desk, in unlocked cabinets, or pasted on their computers. In some countries like China (28 percent), employees reported storing logins and passwords to personal financial accounts on their work devices, leaving their identity and finances at risk. The fact that some employees leave devices unattended magnifies this risk.
9.Losing portable storage devices: Almost one in four (22 percent) employees carry corporate data on portable storage devices outside of the office. This is most prevalent in China (41 percent) and presents risks when devices are lost or stolen.
10.Allowing "tailgating" and unsupervised roaming: More than one in five (22 percent) German employees allow non-employees to roam around offices unsupervised. The study average was 13 percent. And 18 percent have allowed unknown individuals to tailgate behind employees into corporate facilities.
"Businesses are enabling employees to become increasingly collaborative and mobile," Stewart said. "Without modern-day security technologies, policies, awareness and education, information is more vulnerable. Today, data is in transit, in use, within programs, stored on devices, and in places beyond the traditional business environment, such as at home, on the road, in cafes, on airplanes and trains. This trend is here to stay. To protect your data effectively, we need to start understanding the risk characteristics of business and then base technology, policy, and awareness and education plans on those factors."
Stewart said these behavioral findings can help companies structure employee education programs at a regional level and sculpt global risk management plans. He lists recommended practices for preventing data loss, including:
Know your data; Manage it well: Know how/where it's stored, accessed, used.
Treat data as if it's your own - Protect it like it's your money: Educate employees how data protection equates to money earned and money lost.
Institutionalize standards for safe conduct: Determine global policy objectives and create localized education tailored to a country's culture and threat landscape.
Foster a culture of trust: "Employees need to feel comfortable reporting incidents so IT can resolve problems faster," Stewart said.
Establish security awareness, education and training: Think globally, but localize and tailor programs for regions based on threat landscape and culture.
"Data protection requires teamwork across the company. It's not just an IT job anymore," he said. Today, the study will be presented in more detail by Stewart and other Cisco executives during a live Internet TV broadcast with media and analysts from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. PDT.

I quite agree with the hon. member for Shelburne and Queen's that the tax forms should be as simple as possible. At the same time I do not see how we can avoid asking the taxpayer to fill up this whole form. It is true that in respect to his municipal taxes he does not do it, but in that case he does not make his own assessment; the assessor
does it for him and advises him how much his taxes are. I do not see how we can follow the same principle in regard to income tax. I think the minister should hold to the practice which he started this year of making the taxpayer himself compute his income tax. I know it is difficult in a great many cases, but any man who paid his tax last year has his receipt before him, which tells how his tax has to be computed, and he can easily make it up for himself with the assistance, as my hon. friend from Sherbrooke (Mr. McCrea) said, of a local book-keeper or accountant. While it may be vexatious, there are thousands of business men throughout the Dominion who by reason of having had to make up their own income tax returns and' compute the amount of tax payable by them know a thousand times more about their business to-day than they ever did before.

In connection with the project Doha Expressway, DISSING+WEITLING was approached by Parsons Brinkerhoff in order to assist them in creating a design system for 14 pedestrian bridges located along the E-Ring expressway. The pedestrian bridges on the E-Ring aim to enable the area's residents and visitors to cross this vital road and reach commercial establishments in the area. Equipped with elevators on both sides, the pedestrian bridges can accommodate a large number of users including those with special needs.
In addition to facilitating the easy access of pedestrians to residential and commercial facilities adjacent to E-Ring, the Doha Pedestrian Bridges aim to enhance the traffic safety and enable pedestrians to cross roads safely, which are characterised by heavy traffic movement.
The bridges are covered due to the high temperatures under the desert sun, while the design system ensures that the bridges are seamlessly integrated at the different locations. The first of the 14 pedestrian bridges have already been completed.

A double sink association, a bath and a shower and two WCs will all help to make preparations for the day or for sleep a speedier and more convenient process. Space in many homes will simply not permit it and, most of the time, this room must double up with another perform. As increasingly husbands and wives now both work, bathroom 'collisions' develop into increasingly possible. Pictures could be hung and extra objects of furnishings integrated. A study or dressing room might probably most easily be converted to serve this additional function with the minimum of disruption, sabella kb homes or perhaps a bit-used dining room is likely to be thought-about. For the ultimate in luxurious, the inclusion of a dressing room in your suite, if in any respect possible, won't solely free cupboard space in the bedroom however can even enable for one accomplice to costume with out waking the opposite.
A desk in a study would possibly house stationery, and when the room is required as a bedroom, this could possibly be lined with a full size cloth and a mirror placed on top to be used as a dressing desk. Few households lately can afford to dedicate bedroom space for the exclusive use of a sporadic guest. A wash basin in a guest room is a boon, giving independence to the guest and relieving stress on a family bathroom. The grownup en-suite bathroom may be styled with out regard to the assaults a household bathroom is likely to bear. Because the en-suite bathroom is more likely to be for the sole use of the occupant(s) of the adjoining bedroom, it may be tailored to their needs with out consideration for others. The fold-away sort which emerges, prepared-made, from a wall cupboard is simple to erect and is unobtrusive when not in use.
A folding luggage rack, painted to co-ordinate with your scheme and crossed with pretty braid, is a perfect solution. A day bed is for many essentially the most passable solution. If your need is to supply for 2 company, probably the greatest solutions is a bed with collapsible legs which slips beneath a second bed when not required. If the bathroom and bedroom are to work efficiently together, their schemes need to relate, while at the same time maintaining their own particular person character. If you happen to select to comply with this route, take care to not compromise both rooms by spoiling the structure of the bedroom and providing too small a space adequately to accommodate all the bathroom gear you need.

Here's a few images from a recent commission I installed at a home in Seven Glens development over in Weaverville, NC. This new home has a modern, clean feel with stone accents throughout. Perfect for my contemporary woven sculpture. Hope you enjoy!
So inspiring, so humbling, such important work, such a privilege to even view it on screen ~ thank you!
Are the egg shells real or produced?
Matt, from what i have seen you are a very creative person. Keep it up.

The governing body of an organistation has an important role to play in risk management
Events are one place where accidents and incidents sometimes occur
There are many strategies for risk management and insurance products
Your community organisation will need to consider your duty of care, and the standard of care you need to meet, when providing services to your clients or the public.
A community organisation may be liable (legally responsible) for a breach of a duty of care, which results in damage (eg. injury, property damage or financial loss) to person to whom the duty is owed. There are a number of legal tests that must be satisfied before your organisation will be held liable for negligence.
While negligence claims against community organisations are rare, your organisation should look to operate in a way that reduces the risk of injury or loss to your clients and the public. You should also look at getting appropriate insurance coverage to protect you from liability in the event of any unforeseen incidents and unavoidable risks.
If you think your organisation has been negligent, you should seek legal advice about its potential liability.
The following fact sheet provides an overview of negligence, including:
how a duty of care arises
liability for acts or omissions
risk management, and
sources of negligence law.

Accidents and incidents are sometimes unavoidable (but sometimes they could have been avoided if a proper risk assessment had been done, discussed in the Risk Management and Insurance Guide).
It is important for your organisation to take appropriate steps when accidents and incidents occur. These steps can include:
properly investigating and documenting the incident
taking appropriate steps to minimise the chance of the incident happening again
keeping a register of incidents, and considering reporting on accidents or incidents to the board
responding to any complaints or allegations of liability or negligence appropriately (you may need to get legal advice)
notifying insurers if necessary
meeting any workplace health and safety requirements
notifying any other people who are required to be notified (this may be in a contract), and
implementing and reviewing policies and procedures around incidents and accidents.

TOY FAIR NEWS-NEWEST LICENSE FOR SOTA TOYS-MICRONAUTS! - 2/18/2005
Feb. 18, 2005 – The time has come for the return of a classic the likes of which you've never seen before! Prepare for Micronauts-Evolution!
"I've been a HUGE Micronauts fans all my life. I mean, I have all the toys that came out as well as all the issues of the comic book-I've even got an Acroyear tattoo!" said Jerry Macaluso, President of SOTA Toys, "I felt that now was the time to bring Micronauts into the world in a way that's never been done before. This has truly been my dream project!" For Micronauts-Evolution, SOTA Toys has taken the classic characters of the 70's and completely updated their look and design for 21st Century. "With Micronauts-Evolution, I'm basically making what I'm calling the Ferrari of Action Figures", Jerry Macaluso continued. "The Micronauts will have incredible articulation, much more that even our Street Fighter figures. So they're fully poseable and yet they're sculpted as detailed as any thing out there. These don't look like an action figure as much as they look like an action figure statue. Yet at the same time what we've done is gone back to the original Microman and the idea of just crazy interchangeable accessories. Some of these accessories are bigger than the figure!"
Micronauts-Evolution Series 1 will consist of Space Glider, Lobros and Baron Karza, based off of a 6" scale with additional accessories. The first series is due for release in late 2005 with an SRP of $19.99.

Lindner, a graduating senior at D.C. Everest Senior High School, developed portable waxing tables for alpine skis, nordic skis and snowboards for his company Peak Waxing. He will soon be meeting with some businesses as he works toward getting his product in stores and for sale on their shelves.
"Because of this program, I have become comfortable with myself and everything I can do," Lindner said in a speech at the YEA graduation ceremony Monday. "I am ever thankful for all the opportunities."
This is the first year for the YEA program in both the D.C. Everest Area School District and the state. At Everest it spurred 11 functional businesses and 13 students with entrepreneurial skills. They learned to develop businesses, make changes as they made mistakes and market their products to actual customers.
The district's career and technical education coordinator, Aaron Hoffman, said he's a little nervous about future classes of YEA, because the first students in the program set the standard so high. He addressed the students in the program Monday night as they graduated from YEA.
"You did better than what we thought we would see," Hoffman said. "We were able to set up the stage and get out of the way. And allow you to do the learning."

The students developed products and services ranging from the portable ski-waxing tables to self-tied neckties and social media management. USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin has followed the students all year, focusing on senior Lukas Lindner and sophomore Laney Hughes.
Hughes is competing with her company Shallocat at the national level next week against other students from other YEA programs. She sells clothing embroidered with her unique designs.
Hughes, Lindner and some of the other graduates plan to keep their businesses going into the future.
YEA started in Rochester, N.Y. in 2004. The D.C. Everest Senior High School offered the class with the Wausau Region Chamber of Commerce this school year, and next year it will continue as an after-school program, open to students who are home-schooled and from other districts.

The program drew on sponsorship and expertise from about 40 individuals and businesses in the community, said business education teacher Jim Dahlgren. Students toured local companies and got advice and mentoring from local experts. Bankers in the community reviewed student business plans.
The chamber played a big role in coordinating YEA. Sara Guild, the chamber's government affairs and workforce development director, spent a lot of time in the classroom as the YEA program manager.
"It really does take a community to make a program like this work," Guild said.

Drinks pregnant
How Much Coffee Can You Drink While Pregnant, Even today, there are debates about the effects of caffeine on the health of pregnant women and the fetus. Recommendations from country to country diverge, and research on coffee consumption during pregnancy is growing. However, several things can be said:Caffeine is a psychoactive substance with stimulating and slightly diuretic effects.
It enables the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system.
Also, the consumption of coffee will have repercussions on the heart rate of the pregnant woman and the fetus in utero. Indeed, caffeine easily crosses the placenta to enter the body of the future baby. In addition, the future child does not yet have the means to eliminate caffeine from his body. The substance, therefore, risks accumulating in his body, including the brain.
How Much Caffeine Can You Have While Pregnant
Other studies go even further:
A 2015 study claims that daily consumption of caffeine by pregnant women, up to 150 mg, could increase the risk of miscarriage by 19%.
Another, dating from 2014, asserts that consumption of more than 200 mg of caffeine per day (i.e. approximately two cups of filtered coffee) causes a delay in development in the embryo and, consequently, weight at birth. birth below normal.
Daily consumption of coffee in pregnant women exposes the child to disturbed neurodevelopment and cognitive deficits.
Coffee During Pregnancy
However, other studies are much more moderate:
For some scientists, the evidence that consuming 200 mg of caffeine per day is a significant factor in prematurity is insufficient.
For others, it is impossible to state categorically that the consumption of coffee can have a specific impact on the weight of the child at birth.
Also, and based on epidemiological studies, it would therefore seem that a single principle prevails: that of precaution. All health authorities (FDA in the United States, Public Health in France) are in any case unanimous in stating that coffee consumption during pregnancy must remain very moderate.
How Much Caffeine Can You Have When Pregnant
The World Health Organization recommends not exceeding 300 mg of caffeine per day when pregnant. For information :
A 250ml cup of filter coffee contains approximately 180mg of caffeine
A small espresso of 50 ml contains 90 mg of caffeine
A cup of instant coffee containing a teaspoon of soluble coffee contains about 90 mg of caffeine
Also, it is important to moderate your consumption of coffee and, in extenso, food substances containing caffeine when you are pregnant. This includes all coffee-based preparations (dairy dessert, cakes, ice cream, sweets), tea-based drinks, cola and energy drinks and cocoa, to a lesser extent. And, as a pure precautionary principle, if you can do without coffee, it is better to do so.
What are the alternatives to coffee during pregnancy?
Tea contains theine, neither more nor less than caffeine (a similar molecule). Also, it will be necessary to prefer certain teas to others if one chooses to moderate caffeine consumption. Some teas are less intense in theine, such as white tea, or Roobois, nicknamed red tea, but which is not tea and does not contain theine. Oolong, blue-green tea, is also low in caffeine and recommended for pregnant women. They will benefit from its moisturizing and antioxidant properties.
Herbal teas are infusions of one or more caffeine-free plants, flowers, spices and fruit peels. They are also an exciting option for pregnant women. Moreover, be aware that certain plants are to be avoided during pregnancy, and indeed, they contain active substances that have repercussions on the body. These include buckthorn, fennel, liquorice, sage, angelica, passionflower. Ask your pharmacist or doctor, who will tell you which herbal teas are best during pregnancy.
Instant chicory drinks often contain coffee. Also, if you are pregnant, it will be a question of controlling your consumption to avoid exceeding the recommended daily threshold of caffeine. In addition, there are other options, such as coffee-free instant drinks made from roasted cereals. Their slightly toasted taste can evoke coffee, and they are an excellent alternative. Finally, we can also favour the sweet touch by consuming powdered cocoa drinks. Be aware, however, that they are often very high in sugar. And the consumption of sugar when you are pregnant must be moderate to avoid any risk of gestational diabetes.
Decaf Coffee While Pregnant
The last option, aimed at coffee lovers, who swear by its unique flavour. Decaf, can be a saving option! Be aware, however, that despite the mention of "decaffeinated", this type of coffee may contain residual traces of caffeine, in the order of 10 to 30 mg per cup. Also, we will avoid drinking 10 cups of decaffeinated coffee per day, thinking that the drink will have no repercussions on her body and, consequently, on the evolution of her pregnancy.
Can You Have Caffeine While Pregnant
There are so many recommendations when it comes to pregnancy that it is sometimes difficult to find your way around. Many people consume coffee daily, so it's no surprise that expectant mothers want to know if this stimulant could be a problem. Since guidelines for caffeine consumption during pregnancy vary from country to country, and even within the same country, it can be challenging to assess the risks.
It is also important to remember that tea, chocolate and energy drinks also contain caffeine, and it must be taken into account when estimating its daily consumption.
