Please tell your friends about "GRAS - Correct test solutions ensure data consistency"
Achieving data consistency across multiple test locations can be challenging. For a strong brand like Jabra, failures on production lines can have fatal consequences for product releases.
- Jabra and GRAS have been working closely together for several years to meet these challenges, and in this beneficial cooperation GRAS measurement solutions have proven their value.
Production line testing can be very challenging – and achieving data consistency across multiple products and production lines requires the correct test solution. The company GN Audio A/S with the global brand Jabra knows all about this. GN Audio is a leader in engineering communications and sound solutions – innovating to empower both consumers and businesses. The Danish manufacturer of high-quality headphones, headsets, and speakerphones have worked closely with GRAS Sound & Vibration for many years.
The complexity of a test setup increases when testing products with a wide range of features. But this is only one part of the challenge. Another part is ensuring the quality of the measurements. This entails focus on achieving data consistency and repeatability across multiple testing locations. All manufacturers have seasonal peaks in their product introduction cycles where punctuality in the production is of great importance for product releases and ultimately global market share. This all point to the importance of ensuring correct test solutions.
Jabra is known for being among the first to introduce new technology: Recently, Jabra launched a new series of wireless headsets – Jabra Engage - that sets new standards for call quality, security and connectivity. New products and new technologies require rigorous testing due to the signal levels involved, and this is where the measurement solutions from GRAS prove their value.
to production line testing." This is the reason why the correct test equipment is so significant: "For us, it is not just about getting test equipment. It's about ensuring data consistency across different measurement systems. Testing, testing and further testing is the key!", Tony explains.
Having the correct test equipment is vital because it decreases time to market. Even one day can be significant to the project schedule. Increase this to several days and you risk not being able to make product announcements as planned at key launch opportunities.
GN Audio uses the same test method in both R&D and manufacturing sites. This approach also reduces delays in investigating measurement challenges: "We need to be confident that the testing facilities are aligned – also across projects and borders", Tony underlines. Rather than investigating design issues, it is sometimes easier to blame test equipment or assembly issues when something unexpected occurs. But with GN Audio's testing facilities – based on high quality equipment – the test equipment is never blamed for products failing to meet specifications during the development stage: "We have come to know that acoustic sensors from GRAS are our guarantee of measurement reliability across all our facilities. They support our global success", as Tony Nesbitt puts it with a smile.
The close relationship between GN Audio and GRAS has a long history. Tony Nesbitt looks back: "It all started with Gunnar Rasmussen himself, almost 18 years ago. Here was a person and a company with the dedication to understand and solve our problems, and we have partnered with GRAS ever since to ensure the quality we strive for".
Niklas Larsen, Personal Audio Industry Manager at GRAS, nods in agreement: "It is a huge encouragement for GRAS to be chosen as a partner by one of the world's leading audio experts. It inspires confidence to learn from GN Audio's testing needs and motivates us to develop products, which will meet the testing demands of the future", he says.
According to Niklas Larsen, the dialogue with Tony and his colleagues helps to constantly improve the testing on production lines globally. In addition to this, the close partnership also provides GRAS with valuable inputs for product road maps.
Niklas Larsen also highlights the risk of audit failures at quality controls as a key factor for audio customers around the world. As he explains, "We would never risk an audit failure due to measurement inconsistency because we invest in having a strong brand exactly as GN Audio does with Jabra". Using high grade acoustic components minimizes the variation between test stations and the potential risk of audit failure. Additionally, it allows effective re-use of equipment at the end of project life and improves the ability to increase capacity at short notice.
The long and close ties between GN Audio and GRAS has also involved collaboration on calibration of measurement equipment. Calibration at regular intervals is a way to safeguard the quality of measurements and to eliminate costs caused by unreliable equipment and data. Also, it is a way to ensure that historical measurement data are valid and comparable. Supported by GRAS, GN Audio have developed their in-house calibration procedures to verify performance of acoustic components to meet GN production requirements.
Tony Nesbitt boils down the two main reasons for choosing GRAS: "Firstly because of the "solution flexibility" – GRAS supplies what we need and not what they want to sell. Secondly, if you look at our total cost of ownership with GRAS equipment, it is actually quite low compared with other solutions".

Giraffes, Jellybeans, and the USDA
By David T. Wright
All over official Washington, D.C., the big buzzword these days is "Diversity." Cultural Diversity is not only the latest certified Wonderful Thing, it is Inevitable; and our arbiters of conscience have elevated it to the status of a sacrament.
As a result, Washington office workers are constantly subjected to important events like American Indian Heritage Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, etc., etc. Each has its posters, slogans, hall displays, "festivals," strange food in the cafeteria, and so on. We are bombarded with blather about Gorgeous Mosaics, Rainbow Societies, Toleration, Dignity, and, of course, that most sacred of all buzzwords, Change. Gorgeous Mosaics do have their limits, though. Asking when we'll see an Anglo-Saxon Heritage Month gets you nothing but a hard stare.
Despite, or maybe because of, the Inevitability and manifest goodness of Diversity, the Establishment tolerates no criticism of it. The Department of Agriculture recently decreed that conformance to "Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights goals and objectives" is a critical element of every USDA bureaucrat's performance. In plain English, this means that you can get a permanent black mark on your job performance record just for criticizing the current policy of favoritism toward nonwhites, or even for telling an ethnic joke.
This was all well under way during the...

Alicia Keys Earns Top 'Element' Debut, Thicke 'Therapy' Follows Suit
by Singersroom December 23, 2009 January 2, 2016
Alicia Keys has officially made the strongest debut for a R&B/Hip Hop female artist this year! According to Billboard, the "Doesn't Mean Anything" singer's latest effort "The Element of Freedom" arrived on this week's charts with over 417,000 copies sold. Earning the top spot on the R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart and Digital Albums chart, Keys' album also earned the no.2 spot on the Billboard 200. Keys' debut at no.2 on the Billboard 200 is historic in that it is the Grammy winner's first debut below no.1. Runaway Billboard 200 star Susan Boyle tops this week's chart again thanks to sales in excess of 661,000 copies ("I Dreamed A Dream"). Sources say Boyle may top the year's best selling artist, Taylor Swift, if sales of "I Dreamed A Dream" continue. The album has sold well over 2.4 million copies since its arrival in stores last month. In related news, Robin Thicke's "Sex Therapy: The Session" opens at no.9 on this week's Billboard 200. Thanks to sales in excess of 123,000 copies moved, Thicke's "Sex Therapy" is the second strongest debut of the week. Watch out for Mary J. Blige's latest effort "Stronger With Each Tear" on next week's Billboard 200 chart. The album is now available in stores and at digital retailers.

Re: Which game should be made into movies?
I really love Xenogears. I was waiting for other episode of Perfect Works (prequels) when unfortunately the team broke. And they are not with square anymore.
The series now under the name of Xenosaga. It has similiar character, but i dunno if they are related to Xenogears or not, as i havent play it yet.
Best movie based on a video game ever? Goat Simulator. No lie. How would that not be awesome?
skyrim, and beyond two souls!
I would LOVE if Fallout was made into a movie. I feel like that could be awesome.
I think the first two Golden Sun games would make an interesting movie.
Wish they would make one of Rainbow six siege . I know the game is based partly on books , but with a great storyline that would great.
Uncharted series - I think they are working on something but I think it'll have to be very well made to be good for both regular movie watchers and gamers.
For a gay game - Coming Out on Top.

Finally, my girls (chooks that is) have got a strapping man in their lives. Just because he is half their size is irrelevant! The fact is, he can crow, is a gentle wee bloke and is totally enamoured with the fact that he has 14 girls all to himself. Oh dear me ..
I haven't popped up any gardening pics in ages, but you will be happy to know that the garlic is on steroids, so is the kale, the peas are smothered in well – peas ..
And at long last yours truly finally poked seeds in trays which have since germinated and have been pricked out. Needless to say they are happily ensconced in our kitchen in punnets (can you imagine?). I've even sown seed from the cucurbit family and dwarf beans which are currently luxuriating on a heat pad in the garage, and yes we have action in that soil.
This year I have opted to buy in heirloom toms and chillies and no doubt peppers and eggplants will end up on the shopping list too. If you recall and I shan't forget, my tomatoes got hammered last year by blight, so as you do, I hoisted them from the soil, wiping a tear at the time and swearing 'I would never grow them again'. Hmm – so with this in mind, this year I have decided to let someone else do the hard work. As for the chillies and eggplants – these plants are slow growers, so I'm cheating and buying these seedlings in also. There I've fessed up!
We have ducklings on our pond, turkeys everywhere (damned things), bunnies digging holes, bees loving the cherry blossom and cats being cats and ignoring me!
And then there is Lucy, who really should be on a diet!
May there be light and cobwebs in your macadamia blossom!

Is Tony a bantom? He is a handsome specimen. These smaller roosters like to get a lot of action. ( to over compensate for their height). Lovely Spring at your place Julie. Every season is different for tomatoes- this year you will have millions.
The last photo is postcard perfect! Wow! Love all the photos. You know what I think of kitty photos. Tony is sure a handsome guy. He can crow himself a rock song and call it "14 Hens in a Row" (there's a metal group called Steel Panther that has a song called "17 Girls in a Row" [not worth looking up]. Aerosmith was more realistic with "Dream On"). Then there's "Lucky Manuelo" and so is Tony!
Hey Tim .. thank you, I'm so pleased you like that pic. I nearly didn't include it 🙂 I know you love kitty pics, so do I. Tony is a handsome dude and loves crowing .. starts early too. LOL .. he sure is lucky!
It is looking very good there Julie, very green and nice. I hope you are having a lot better weather than we are.
While your place is picture perfect, your pictures are perfect too! Hope that made sense – just love to enjoy the details you manage to captue in your shots. That is one contented looking sheep munching on lovely spring grass.
Oh Mr Draco … thank you so much. Eden is full of hard work 😀 …. LOL As for those damned turkeys … Took a cracker of a pic of them on the iPhone .. must instagram it. Smiles your way ..
They are such pretty pictures!
Thank you Merilee! So good to see you here. I was so excited when I saw your comment. 😀 Not good news about your vege boxes though .. damned weather.
Our drought here in California is horrible. I am a gardener. I won a city award once for my garden. But not any longer. I used to have tons of beautiful vegetables and herbs. Now the garden is just dirt. And I have a very expensive water bill! We need rain and snow in our mountains or we will all shrivel up and blow away!
Oh I'm sorry to hear of your garden .. I know we are blessed with our weather even if it rains often. It sure does make a difference ..
Beautiful greens and great compositions of a piece of paradise. Thank you, Julie.
Funny reading this edging into winter … the garden looks great!
Hi to you both. Tony looks just the ticket for the girls! Not to sure about the crowing though could you put a timer switch on him for when I come over! Photos just great as usual how did you manage to catch Nigel is he staying round more these days?
Well when I finally got home all the red leaves of the Boston fern were all on the ground so must have been frosty while I was away. So a lot of clearing up to do when I can.
OH! Spring…I am so happy for you…I will read often so I can have spring again in my life!
What a beautiful gallery! but hey! Is it spring there??
Enjoy your spring, Im passing the cold winter here. Oh hey! may I have your insta account? I would love to follow you back!
blissfully green and super lush! it's a great time of year, and you have captured it so well.
I was so happy to hear you say you've got cucubits on heat pads – I've decided to try one of my cucumbers and a tomato on heat pads too.
They were getting lots of sun and warmth and now the sun has moved!! One hot house a coming sometime very soon hopefully!
Decided I'm going to blog too about the garden (what little there is of it) and my surrounds. Spring has got me feeling all green again thankfully!
My brain needs to process out loud some of my doings so I don't miss them.
Am pollinating (I hope – fingers crossed) tomatoes with a fan and a toothbrush today… lol!!! Hugs back!!!
Wonderful shots all Julie-and I am sure Tony will be very happy there-I look at your pictures of your life and home and the first word is always "pastoral" Wonderful!!
Tony is one lucky rooster! That last shot is breath-taking!
Loved all your beautiful photos. Life sounds good, enjoy!
Spring! Where everything is green and white and pink. I love visiting your world.
Lovely post as usual. Pictures are all beautiful. Jealous of that home grown, zero air miles produce.
Bravo Julie for yours splendid blog!

Ramkumar Ramanathan babysits Sania Mirza's son during mixed double match at French Open; pictures surface
Mirza is making her final appearance at French Open as she is set to retire at the end of season.

India's flagbearer in Women's tennis, Sania Mirza, has advanced into the second round of the French Open after comfortably beating pair of Santiago Gonzalez and Laura Siegemund 7-6(4), 6-2 in the first round of mixed doubles. Notably, Mirza has also made it to the second round of the French Open women's double competition as her pair Lucie Hradecka bounced back from a set down to defeat Italian opponents Jasmine Paolini and Martina Trevisan 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 in the first round.
Sania Mirza is all making her final appearance at Roland Garros as she is set to retire at the end of the season. Meanwhile, India's Ramkumar Ramanathan, who won his maiden Grand Slam doubles match on Wednesday, was beaten in the second round in the men's doubles competition after losing 6-3, 6-2 to sixth-seeded Dutch-British duo of Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski.
However, Ramanathan has been grabbing a lot of attention on social media for his actions during Mirza's mixed doubles encounter at Court 11 on Thursday. Fans caught Ramanathan babysitting Mirza's son in his arms as he was also watching the Indo-Croatian pair register a comfortable win in the first round. Even Mirza's father, Imran Mirza, tweeted, "Not just watching @MirzaSania, Ramkumar is also taking care of Izhaan Mirza Malik, allowing me to focus on the match!"
Sania will now face tenth seeded Slovenians Kaja Juvan and Tamara Zidansek, who are coming from a comprehensive victory against Tessah Andrianjafitrimo and Oceane Dodin 6-0, 6-3 in the opening round of mixed double. On the other hand, Ramanathan and his partner Elixane Lechemia in the mixed doubles will be up against Lucie Hradecka and Gonzalo Escobar in the first round.
Another Indian, Rohan Bopanna partnering with Matwe Middelkoop, will be in action at the French Open. The Indo-Dutch pair, seeded 16th, is through to the men's double pre-quarterfinals after defeating Andrey Golubev and Fabrice Martin in straight sets.

DOLE Requests Brief Exemption of Immediate SSS Payment for OFWs
Home News DOLE Requests Brief Exemption of SSS Payment for First-Time OFWs
0   
By Leandro Hulog News 26th July 2019
DOLE to Request Brief Exemption of SSS Payment for First-Time OFWs
The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is proposing changes to the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) Of Republic Act (RA) No. 11199 or the "Social Security Act." The labor agency's proposal aims to temporarily exempt first-time Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) from the immediate payment of Social Security System (SSS) contributions.
"By that time, they are already earning and could be considered as OFWs," DOLE Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said to reporters on July 25.
The labor secretary suggests that the social insurance agency must collect the premiums of an OFW three months after the overseas worker's deployment to their country of destination. He also states that RA 11199 does not technically consider newly-hired individuals bound to work abroad.
Under Rule 14, Section 7 of the IRR of RA 11199, the three government agencies "shall ensure compulsory coverage of an OFW through bilateral social security and labor agreements and other measures."
"I already informed them of the legal contemplation: a worker, who has not been issued an OEC (Overseas Employment Certificate) is not yet an OFW, and therefore cannot be covered by the compulsory coverage by the law," Bello said.
"We will issue the OEC with the condition that three months after the worker has been deployed, we will start collecting his contribution," he added.
POEA, BOPC Backs DOLE's Request to Defer Immediate SSS Payment for OFWs
Earlier this month, the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) recommended the postponement of immediate SSS payment for each OFW as a requirement for the issuance of an OEC until they discuss the matter with the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), DOLE, and SSS.
Aside from POEA, long-time migration advocacy groups like the Blas Ople Policy Center (BOPC) rejected the IRR for RA 11199 which requires the payment of SSS contributions as a prerequisite for OEC issuance. An OEC is a document issued by the POEA for workers aspiring to take employment opportunities abroad.
"I hope DOLE will uphold this stand which is backed by the OFW sector," BOPC head Susan Ople said in her Twitter post.
POEA Administrator Bernard P. Olalia said that the postponement of Rule 14 and Rule 15 of the IRR remains until the Joint Committee of the three concerned government agencies is complete.
"The bone of contention is the incoherence of the provision of Section 9-B of the law and Rule 14, Section 7 of the IRR," Olalia said in the recommendation sent to Bello last June 27.
Olalia also mentioned that the dialogue concerning the payment of SSS contributions by first-time OFWs "should be determined by a joint committee of the DFA, DOLE, and SSS and not solely by the SSS." He also concluded that attaching the premiums to OEC issuance is not specified in RA 11199 and its provisions.

I have supported clients who have given birth at home, at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading, the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, Frimley Park Hospital in Frimley, Wexham Park Hospital in Slough and Basingstoke & North Hampshire Hospital in Basingstoke. I am happy to discuss your requirements wherever you live and wherever you plan to give birth.
A little something about me – I am married to John and we have three grown-up children, plus five wonderful grandchildren, all living nearby. We live in Winnersh near Wokingham, and we have also lived in New Zealand (where our first son was born) and in Greece. My own birth experiences were all very different and I faced the challenges of postnatal depression following our second son's birth. Now, with experience and life-skills, I believe that I can make a positive difference in the lives of expectant and new parents by giving both practical and emotional support specifically tailored to your individual requirements.
When I first heard of doulas, I was immediately attracted to the whole concept of supporting parents-to-be during this exciting time of preparation and activity. My work has shown me that having a doula can make a huge difference to labour, birth and the busy time that follows. As your birth doula, I offer antenatal sessions for you to share your birth preferences and wishes, with ample time to prepare you (and your partner) for the birth of your baby. When your labour starts, I will join you when you ask me to, whether this is at home and moving on to hospital with you, or wherever you may be, or may wish to birth. I will stay with you until you are happy for me to leave, however long this may be. I will listen and respect your views at all times, and support you in any way I can. I won't advise you but I will help you to learn all you wish to know in order to make informed decisions. I firmly believe that each woman and each birth is completely different and the experience will be totally personal to you. I believe that when a woman is well-informed and well-prepared for labour, she will be more able to trust her instincts and her belief in her ability to birth her baby. In practical terms, I can be contacted by telephone and email to offer support to you and your partner at all times during our contract. I have many books available for you to borrow, plus birthing aids you may find helpful.
Postnatally, during those vital first weeks when mum and dad are getting to know their little one, time is very precious and there always seems to be so much to do. I believe that when new parents are well supported, both in practical and emotional terms, they will feel more relaxed and confident as they care for their baby. As your postnatal doula, I will endeavour to help in such a way that you will have more time to spend with your new baby and each other, and other children if you have them. As far as possible, I will visit at times and on days to suit you. I will do whatever I can to make your life easier (different things in different households) plus offer a listening ear if you need to share anything. Sometimes spending time debriefing the birth can be very helpful. You may wish to rest or spend time with other children while I care for the baby (be assured I will always follow your instructions and wishes). My aim is to be as flexible as possible so that you will feel rested and relaxed and more able to enjoy the changes and challenges a new baby brings to your lives.
Choosing the right doula for you is an important decision and my initial visit to you is simply an opportunity to have an informal chat with no obligation to book me. I can come to your home or meet somewhere else to suit you. During my time with you, I seek to offer unconditional, non-judgemental reassurance and practical care. I recognise what a privilege it is to be asked to share this precious time with you.
I usually travel within a 25 mile radius of Wokingham, but I warmly welcome all enquiries. I have worked with many couples for whom English is not their first language, and I enjoy learning about, appreciating and respecting different aspects of other nationalities and cultures. I learn something new with each new client and my clients have ranged in age from 21 to 51. If I can help you in any way, I will be pleased to do so.

Cloud-based virtual PC rental comes to the US with Shadow
Tom Hodson
The 'cloud' has been a buzzword in the games industry for a while now. Although, in theory, it's a brilliant idea, it's not a concept that has ever really gained mainstream traction. From pioneers OnLive to current services such as Playstation Now and GeForce Now, cloud-based gaming is still in its infancy.
French startup Blade is hoping to buck this trend with their 'Shadow' subscription service, which is now available for the first time in America. Their unique selling point is that they don't want to help you stream games. They want to help you stream an entire virtual PC, and an absolute powerhouse at that.
The thinking behind it is fairly simple. Blade wants to help people that don't have the money or space to splash out on serious hardware. Instead of spending $2,000 on a new rig, why not just rent your own for a monthly fee?
By signing up to Shadow, you'll get your own virtual PC, ready to go wherever you have a screen and a decent internet connection. The impressive part? You're not sharing anything with anyone else. Each and every paying customer will get their own setup. The Shadow service currently offers a full Windows 10 PC fitted with an Intel Xeon CPU running four cores, 12 GB of DDR4 RAM and 256 GB of storage. Their graphics solution isn't anything to sniff at either. For your money, you'll get the equivalent of a GeForce 1080 with 16GB of video memory.
Blade even handle upgrades, constantly improving their offering as technology advances. Asher Kagan, president and co-founder of Blade, touched on this in a recent interview with Polygon:
"The idea is that the user will never need to care about the hardware anymore".
The Shadow service originally launched in France in 2016 and quickly reached capacity with 5,000 subscribers. Since its inception, other countries have steadily followed including Belgium and Switzerland. Now, as we enter 2018, Shadow is finally landing on American soil. California, to be exact. Initial backers are estimated to receive the service as of February with more and more data centres rolling the service out nationwide throughout the year.
Obviously, building an infrastructure that can initially handle and then maintain cloud-based computing at scale is expensive. As a result, Shadow isn't cheap. With the lowest priced plan setting you back $35 / month for a year, you're looking at around £420 to rent a PC for 12 months. Regardless, Blade is confident that their plan is ideal for those who want to sidestep a large initial cost.
Boxing Clever
At this point, you're probably asking how this all works for you sitting at home. There are essentially two ways to go about it. Either you grab the app on whichever screen you're looking to use (this could be a Smart TV, low-end desktop PC, Mac or even your phone) or you opt for the official Shadow Box. As you'd expect, the Shadow experience varies depending on the screen and the quality of your Internet connection. With this in mind, it's entirely possible that you could stick a controller into your Smart TV or MacBook and play the latest games at 4K as long as you have the bandwidth to back it up.
The Shadow Box is the second option. This dedicated local console is a basic hub, with several USB ports, display ports and room for an Ethernet cable. Acting as a replacement for a dedicated PC, the Shadow Box is the purest way to experience the service. Any peripherals you plug into the box will appear as accessories on your virtual PC, just as it would with a physical desktop. This slick looking box is also the only way to achieve the maximum framerate, 144Hz/1080p.
Naturally, because your Shadow PC is yours, you can essentially do what you like with it. You can download any games you own from popular stores such as Steam, GOG or Origin and play them as you usually would. Software can be downloaded and used as long as it doesn't break the terms and conditions (which forbids things such as cryptocurrency mining).
Security is another major concern that Blade wants to address. The company itself has stated that they cannot access any user uploaded data, outside of the hosting and sharing that allows the platform to run. With each virtual PC essentially its own walled garden, they're confident that network security will be equally as tight.
All in all, Shadow is an intriguing prospect. Although it has seen excellent success in Europe, cracking America is a different ballgame. With vastly different internet speeds, a larger prospective user base and much more land to cover, achieving similar success in the US will be a real test for Blade and the Shadow service.

The Pokemon Switch Rumor Mill: What We Think We Know So Far


First, for those of you who've never had the privilege of being around the military, a "grunt" is an infantryman. If you don't know what an infantryman is, look it up; then find one and thank them. I don't care if they're a veteran or active duty, thank them.
I had the fortune of attending Richmond's Welcome Home Our Heroes Parade on May 19 and amid the bands and the ROTC groups and the Veterans groups, there came about dozen or so marchers carrying large photographs, about 3' x 4' of Marines, Soldiers, Airmen, and Sailors who weren't lucky enough to make it home. The most sobering thing about the photos was the promise and the pride in their eyes. Below their photo, their name and hometown, many of them local to this area. Above their photo, their date of birth and their date of death. It didn't take a lot of calculating to figure that most of them never made it to their 21st birthday.
After the parade, I had the chance to spend some time chatting with a young Marine from Queens, NY, who is stationed at Camp Lejeune – Home of The World's Largest Amphibious Base and Home of Marine Expeditionary Forces in Readines. When I asked him what his MOS was (that's Military Occupational Specialty), he proudly said, "I'm a Grunt." As someone who grew up just outside of Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, NC, I know a thing or two about young grunts. When I was sneaking into the clubs at the ripe old age of 17, specifically, The Chateau Madrid, I thought I'd gone to hell. I went to High School. All the boys there had hair. The only men in the Chateau with hair were playing in the band; were former Marines who decided they were never going to cut their hair again; or they were in the Navy. The Marines did not have hair.
Jacksonville was also home to Camp Geiger, where the Marine Corps School of Infantry is located – and it just so happens that Geiger is almost within spitting distance of The Chateau. Is it any wonder the place was always crawling with them?
I don't think I'll ever forget my first encounter. There we were, three girls, under legal age, drinking Malt Duck and listening to the band, when here come these two Marines with their pitcher of beer pulling up a couple of chairs and parking themselves at our table. Really? I was dumbfounded – and more than a little naïve about social interaction with the non-natives. My two friends, who by this time were old hats at the Chateau scene, were trying to think of some genteel way to get rid of the two interlopers and while they were whispering and debating something befitting Scarlett O'Hara, I just looked at the two marines and said, "Excuse me, but I don't recall asking you to sit here." And so it began.
For the next few years, through high school and the first year of college and summer breaks the Chateau was our getaway at night. And during that time, I met a lot of Marines and a lot of Navy Corpsmen and the occasional Squid (look it up). And it didn't take long to figure out that the grunts were really not much older than me. Most of them came straight out of high school, left their moms and dads and their girls back home, and were just trying to fit in the best that they could.
Speaking to that young man today, just kind of brought it all back. He had his girlfriend with him, a girl from Richmond, whom he'd met through a buddy in the Marine Corps. He had a few months left, then was getting out and planned to go to Rutgers. They were just kids. Both of them. As an Infantryman, he could have been one of those photographs and she could have been a young girl whose life would have never been the same.
So, gentlemen, for the dances, for the beers, for the foosball, for the laughs, for all the great stories and memories I have tucked away, I thank you. But most of all, I thank you for doing the hardest job in the Armed Forces. I thank you for keeping us safe and for your willingness to sacrifice your life in service to our country. I can think of nothing nobler.

How Can You Start And Run An International Online Business Successfully?
About 20 years ago, starting a business that could offer products or services to customers globally would have been unthinkable without having a very large access to capital and a huge investment in logistics.
But now with online businesses, cloud accounting, drop shipping and so many other third party services it's much easier to start a business that can reach internationally and span across many different markets. Now there still can be a lot of things to research such as taxes and other legal implications that come with international businesses. But there are a few basic ways you can setup your business and get started immediately.
Conduct Some Market Research On What You Want To Sell
Selling products or services to an international customer base can be a little more tricky than just selling locally because the markets can greatly differ from one country to the next. You'll want to carefully research each country you want to market your product in to see whether there's really a demand or potential demand there, and you can do so by either checking on social media or using survey methods. As with every other business, you'll want to get to know a little more about your customers when you do this so that you know what kind of experience they're looking for when shopping at your online business.
Invest In A Professionally Designed Website
Giving your customers the best shopping experience and keeping your online business organized is heavily dependent on the kind of website you have. It used to be that you would either have to pay a lot of money to a web designer to do all the coding and set it up on a dedicated server, or try and learn how to do all of that yourself in addition to buying a domain name. But now there's a lot of options out there for buying a website with already made professional templates and interactive pages that you can usually setup yourself. There are usually still costs for the domain name and server hosting, but with many cloud hosts and scalability involved with server purchases nowadays, the cost is much lower than it once was. There are still times when it may pay to hire an independent website or app coder.
Assemble Your Team And Set-up A Money Payment System
As with every other business, you will have important clients or even employees and contractors you'll be working with. Whether it's for purchasing supplies, subscribing to business to business services or just regular field work, building and maintaining these relationships with your client is extremely important. You also want to have an accounts receivable and accounts payable system that is flexible for everyone. Be willing to pay freelancers by their preference, you might find yourself paying someone in India by direct deposit and transferring money to the Philippines for another worker. You also will want to have a payment system that can accommodate your customers since they may have very different electronic payment options depending on which country they live in.
Figure Out How To Get The Maximum ROI On Your Marketing Strategies
With online businesses you have to market and build your brand through many different tools. Search engine optimization (SEO) has been the main marketing method for online businesses over the years both through organic searches and pay-per-click ads. But email marketing, video ads and social media campaigns have also emerged as great ways to build links to business websites. Different methods have different costs, so you have to determine which one will work best for building sales leads and yielding the highest return on investment (ROI) in doing so. But the advice most experts offer is not putting your marketing strategy in just one basket.
Choose The Right Bookkeeper Or Accountant
Last but not least, running an international business will require having a reputable certified accountant to make sure you're complying with all tax laws. Plus registration requirements, licensing and other international partnerships can be subject to different codes, so it's important that you find an accountant or accounting firm that knows international tax laws. There are online based accounting firms that can offer bookkeeping and tax filing services at an affordable price for smaller businesses.
In conclusion, being online does give you a lot more flexibility in who you can work with and how you plan to sell your products and services. You just need to be aware of financial limitations that certain countries may have and how international exchange rates and sales taxes could affect how much you get paid.

Reiki that signifies "universal existence force" is actually achievable through all of all of us.

I using BC 3.3.13 and 7zip 16.04.
Ill try to compare two different .7z archives with BC3, the first one looks good, the second one shows only hieroglyphics. Ive tried to unzip and zip it again in different parts but without getting the second archive working at bc3. When I use 7zip, but choose .zip as format (or .tar as well) it works with BC3.
What do I have tu select/setup to get it working as .7z with lzma?
The strange thing is I have older archives with .7z and lzma which are working, when i unzip them and zip again as the same way, they are showing also hieroglyphics.

Every since I can found out about No Shave November I did it. This year has been a hard year and I did not shave in October much because it wasn't important thing while everything else was happening. I normally shave last week of October so im clean when I start November, that did not happen so now its early in November and I already got a good enough beard. The good thing about it is that it doesn't grow much or that fast. With this cold wave coming in out of no where it is actually helping haha. Plus I love the cold weather. Beanie season! No more caps.
No Shave November for those of you who don't know what it is, it is the month for men health so we don't shave for all of November. There is a new one as well MOVEmber, which you have to do some type of activity to keep you moving everyday. Another great idea. Unfortunately, that has not happen for me. One of my leg brace broke last month the same time my dad had a stroke I haven't had time to get it fixed so I can't move much at the moment. But that will change soon.


The Chairman of UAC of Nigeria Plc (UAC), Udoma Udo Udoma, yesterday attributed the growth recorded by the company for 2013 financial year to innovative and proactive measures the company's management adopted to tackle market dynamics and competitive pressures in the operating environment.
UAC grew its turnover by 13 per cent from N69.6 billion in 2012 to N78.7 billion in 2013, while operating profit rose from N11.5 billion to N15.3 billion.
Based on the improved performance recorded in 2013 and in line with the company's dividend policy, the board recommended a dividend of N3.4 billion representing 36 per cent over the N2.5 billion paid in 2012.
Addressing shareholders at the company's annual general meeting(AGM) in Lagos, Udoma said the performance was made possible because the management took some proactive decisions.
"During the year we acquired two new companies, Livestock Feeds Plc and Portland Paints and Products Nigeria Plc and continued to build on our strategy of working with partners who bring value to our businesses.
We currently have strategic partners in Tiger Brands Limited for UAC Foods Limited, Imperial Logistics for MDS Logistics Limited and Famous Brands for our UAC Restaurants Limited businesses. These bold initiatives have repositioned our group for sustainable growth and improved performance in the years ahead," he said.
He expressed optimism that UAC will record modest growth in 2014 the challenges notwithstanding.
"We are very optimistic as to the growth prospect of UAC in the medium term as we integrate the two newly acquired businesses, Livestock Feeds Plc and Portland Paints and Products Nigeria Plc, into the UAC family and continue to build on the synergies created by our various strategic alliances with other industry leaders.
"The future of UAC is indeed bright as we are poised to reap the benefits of the investments we are currently making as well as the capacity upgrades we are undertaking in our various businesses," Udoma said.


WAUSAU - No one wants to talk about suicide. The death of any loved one is hard to talk about, and it's only made worse when that person died by suicide. The grief, the pain, the unanswered questions go beyond the immediate death and affect families for years.
Families struggle to understand, as do friends, teachers, first responders and many others. Suicides often are related to mental health struggles. And mental health, too, is also a topic few people want to discuss.
I've learned a lot working on USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin's Kids in Crisis series. I've come to learn and understand the extent of suicide and the families need and want help.
Kids in Crisis has documented some of the struggles and some of the ideas for solutions. Now we're hosting town halls in our communities to learn what you think.
I'll be covering the last Kids in Crisis town hall in Wausau. The meeting is at 6 p.m. March 8 in Wausau at University of Wisconsin-Marathon County Auditorium, 518 S. Seventh Ave. Please share with others your thoughts, your opinions and your ideas.
Conversation generated by the meetings will be used to write the final series of stories (running in March) focusing on avenues to addressing the thousands of Wisconsin youth and their families who are in crisis. Tonight's event will be live-streamed at www.wausaudailyherald.com and will be available for replays.
While you are there, please seek me out and stop to say hi. I'd like to meet you and hear what's on your mind.


HSBC is understood to have launched the sale of its non-life insurance businesses located in Britain, France, Hong Kong and Singapore. HSBC reported a 2010 profit of around $1bn for 2010, and this is the thought to be close to the likely purchase price. Around 40% of the non-life profit is derived from its Asia Pacific operations.
The Ping An insurance group stake is not a part of the sale.
HSBC was 'not commenting on rumour or speculation', on Monday.

The research project "Excellence in science and innovation for Europe by adopting the concept of Responsible Research and Innovation (NewHoRRIzon)" sets out to promote the acceptance of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) across all parts of the Horizon 2020 (H2020) funding program and beyond. It will work out the conceptual and operational basis to fully integrate RRI into European and national research and innovation (R&I) practice and funding.
The project will engage a wide-ranging group of R&I stakeholders in 18 Social Labs (covering all sections of H2020) to co-create tailor-made actions to stimulate an increased use and acceptance of RRI. The Social Labs will bring program staff, project coordinators, participants and other relevant experts and stakeholders together to: a) adjust existing definitions of RRI to develop a shared understanding; b) diagnose the state of RRI in each part of H2020; c) adapt existing activities as well as create and test new agreed pilot actions to promote the uptake of RRI in the specific program lines of H2020; d) transform the activities into narratives and widely disseminate them for use.
1. Lead work package 2 focused on the "Excellent Science" arm of H2020 (including the funding programs of the European Research Council, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, Future and Emerging Technologies and Research Infrastructure). Here the researcher will have specific responsibility for the social labs on future and emerging technologies and as work package leader, also responsibility for coordinating and reporting on the work of other partners.
2. Perform the social labs connected to the sub-program of "Food" under work package 4 focused on "Societal Challenges". This sub-program concerns food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research, and the bioeconomy.
3. Participate in the common task of drafting a manual for the work of the social labs, which will include the methodological concepts, guidelines, and templates necessary for planning, carrying out, and reporting on the process. There will also be some work involved in monitoring the social labs and communicating with the various social lab managers and facilitators.
4. Write academic articles and policy briefs for RRI stakeholders based on the research findings.
5. Present at professional conferences and/or workshops to disseminate the idea of RRI and project's research.

Basel Committee discusses policy and supervisory initiatives and approves implementation reports
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision met in Basel on 19-20 June to discuss a range of policy and supervisory issues, and to take stock of its members' implementation of post-crisis reforms.
This was the first Basel Committee meeting chaired by Pablo Hernández de Cos, Governor of the Bank of Spain, following his appointment by Governors and Heads of Supervision in March 2019. The Committee thanked his predecessor, Stefan Ingves, Governor of Sveriges Riksbank, for his strong leadership of the Committee and for overseeing the finalisation of the post-crisis Basel III reforms. Members also expressed their appreciation of William Coen, who has served the Committee for twenty years and as Secretary General since 2014. The Committee thanked him for his substantive contributions. The Committee welcomed the appointment of Carolyn Rogers as the next Secretary General, who will assume her new responsibilities on 14 August 2019.
At its meeting, the Committee:
agreed on a targeted and limited revision of the leverage ratio to allow margin received from a client to offset the exposure amounts of client-cleared derivatives. This revision, which will be published next week, seeks to balance the robustness of the leverage ratio as a safeguard against unsustainable levels of leverage with the G20 Leaders' commitment to promote the central clearing of standardised derivative contracts. The Committee will monitor the effect of this revision on the leverage ratio framework;
agreed on a set of disclosure requirements to curb leverage ratio window dressing, building on the measures outlined in a Committee newsletter published last year. The standard will be revised to require banks to disclose their leverage ratios based on the quarter-end and average values of securities financing transactions. These disclosure requirements will be published next week. The Committee will continue to monitor window-dressing behaviour across financial markets.
approved a report on Pillar 2 supervisory practices and approaches, which will be published shortly and
reviewed the reports that assessed the implementation of the Net Stable Funding Ratio and large exposures standards in Australia, Canada and India. Publication of these reports is expected in July.
The Committee discussed its work programme for evaluating the impact of its post-crisis reforms and will publish additional information of this work in due course.
Committee members discussed matters related to financial technology and crypto-assets. The Committee took note of a report on the regulatory and supervisory implications of open banking and application programming interfaces; the report will be published in due course. It agreed to conduct further work on financial technology, including on the risk management challenges associated with the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in financial services. Committee members took note of recent developments related to crypto-assets, and discussed the diverse range of technological and economic characteristics of crypto-assets. Crypto-assets have exhibited a high degree of volatility and present a number of risks for banks. The Committee continues to assess the risks from crypto-assets and the best ways to address them.
The Committee also took note of the first comprehensive report by the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), and discussed the implications of the report's recommendations for the Committee's future work. The Committee agreed to join the NGFS as an observer.
The Basel Committee is the primary global standard setter for the prudential regulation of banks and provides a forum for cooperation on banking supervisory matters. Its mandate is to strengthen the regulation, supervision and practices of banks worldwide with the purpose of enhancing financial stability. The Committee reports to the Group of Central Bank Governors and Heads of Supervision and seeks its endorsement for major decisions. The Committee does not possess any formal supranational authority and its decisions do not have legal force. Rather, the Committee relies on its members' commitments to achieve its mandate. The Basel Committee is chaired by Pablo Hernández de Cos, Governor of the Bank of Spain.

Why Am I Having Pregnancy Symptoms but a Negative Test?
Updated on January 9, 2020
Kierstin Gunsberg
Kierstin has taken probably every single brand and style of pregnancy test that exists. Twice, they turned positive.
You're gagging at the smell of your coworker's lunch and skipping yoga because you're just too tired to do anything in leggings that doesn't involve Netflix, so you take a pregnancy test because you're obviously pregnant except...you're not? The test is negative. WHAT IN THE ACTUAL?!
Here are some reasons you might be feeling pregnant with a negative test:
You're not pregnant, your symptoms are from something else entirely (like maybe not wanting to chat with Orchid about her enlightening trip to three wineries over the weekend).
You're pregnant, but it's too early to test so you got a negative result.
Your urine is diluted from drinking too much water in preparation to take the test.
You're ovulating, so those surging hormones are making you feel rough.
You really want to be pregnant and your body is playing tricks on you.
You're taking the wrong test and you need to use one that'll be accurate at this stage in your cycle.
Why Your Test is Negative But You Still Feel Super Pregnant
You're Not Pregnant
This is the most likely scenario, since oftentimes, once you're experiencing noticeable pregnancy symptoms, the hormones are built up enough in your body to produce an accurate positive result.
So, if the test is negative and you're feeling sick, it could be that you're dealing with PMS symptoms. Remember, PMS symptoms and early pregnancy symptoms often overlap. It's strange because before I became pregnant for the first time, I didn't notice much besides some extra bloating and hunger before my period was supposed to start. I wasn't thinking about getting or being pregnant so any unpleasant stuff like random nausea, dizzy spells or using the bathroom more frequently just got written off.
But after my first pregnancy, I noticed allllllllll of the symptoms - the sore throat, the runny nose, the achy legs - everything became a possible pregnancy symptom.
Symptoms Shared Between PMS and Early Pregnancy
So what symptoms commonly happen during both early pregnancy and PMS? According to Count Down to Pregnancy's surveys of pregnant and non-pregnant women, at 12 DPO (days past ovulation), which is usually two days before your period is supposed to start, it's common for both pregnant and non-pregnant women to experience:
Tiredness. I'm always so, so tired in the day or two leading up to my period. Likewise, I found myself worn out just from doing my hair in the morning during the early days of both of my pregnancies.
Slight cramps. With my first daughter, I had so many signs that I was about to start my period that, including cramps that felt just like the start of my menstrual cycle, that it didn't occur to me to take a pregnancy test until I was already late.
Gas and bloating. If you're suddenly bloated and gassy it can be easy to suspect pregnancy, but these symptoms are also super common right before your period starts.
If you're wondering why so many PMS symptoms are similar to early pregnancy symptoms, it's because progesterone (which is responsible for the fatigue, cramps, bloating and gas) increases before your period starts and it increases in early pregnancy. So whether you're pregnant or not, there's certain symptoms you're almost certain to experience right around the time your period is due each month and oftentimes the only way to tell if they're due to pregnancy or PMS is if you miss your period.
You're Pregnant, But It's Too Early to Test
Some women are really good at noticing the subtle differences in their body and hormones when they're newly pregnant - even before a pregnancy test can. Some of the more nuanced symptoms that I experienced in early pregnancy which tipped me off to taking a test was that everything suddenly tasted so salty it made my tongue burn and I felt rather giddy and positive during times of the month when my hormones often made me feel more somber and anxious. Still, just because you are pregnant doesn't mean you have enough hormone in your body to take a pregnancy test.
When to Test
No earlier than 4 days before your expected period. If you're more than four days from the day of your expected period, then there's a solid chance you could be pregnant but you're not far enough along for the test to turn positive.
In my own experience, I once tested around five days before my period was due to start because I just felt very pregnant. I used an early response test that said it could be used like six days before my missed period. Yet, the test came out negative. Undeterred, two days later, I tested again only to find that the test was obviously positive and I was indeed pregnant. So learn from me to hold off and try again in two days, since the pregnancy hormone HCG, which is what your pregnancy test depends on to turn positive, doubles every 48 hours.
You're Too Hydrated
Another reason you might be feeling pregnant yet getting a negative pregnancy test is that your urine is too diluted when you test it.
The more water, juice, etc. that you consume, the more hydrated you become. The more hydrated you are, the less concentrated your pee will be. And, when your pee isn't concentrated, there's less pregnancy hormone (HCG) in it. Especially in early pregnancy, when HCG is often scarce, it's important to take your test at a time when there's enough hormone for the test to read.
So, though it's tempting to take a test in the middle of the day after running out to the drug store, if you're testing before your period is even supposed to start, or just a day or so after you've missed it, you really should try to hold off and test straight away in the morning before you've had anything to eat or drink, ensuring that your urine is concentrated.
Drinking a bunch of water or apple juice so you can muster up enough pee to take a pregnancy test? Stop! Concentrated urine is the most accurate when detecting early pregnancy. | Source
Symptoms During Your Cycle
How close to starting your period are you?
I just ended it, actually.
I should be starting in the next two weeks.
It'll be here this week.
I'm late!
You're Ovulating
Surprise! Ovulation can actually make you feel really awful. For many of us, Mittelschmerz and ovulation sickness are a very real thing that happens midway through our cycle (about two weeks after our last period started and two weeks before the next one is supposed to start).
As your body readies itself to be fertile you might experience pain on either side of your abdomen, lower back pain, nausea, hunger, bloating and fatigue. It doesn't mean you're pregnant, it just means you're at the right time to become pregnant and your hormones are doing their lovely (awful) thing!
How to Know That You're Ovulating
Period Trackers You can use a period tracker (I have one on my Fitbit app) to track when you're supposed to ovulate. Supposed to ovulate, because these trackers just take a guess based on your last period. If you want to know for sure the day that you ovulate, this isn't the most trustworthy route.
Basal Body Temperature You can also track and chart your ovulation based on basal body temperature. Here's how to do it. If you're actively trying to conceive this can be an effective way to track your ovulation. But if you don't do it precisely you might not track accurately at all.
Ovulation Tests These work a lot like a pregnancy test, except for ovulation. Dip the test strip in urine and wait for the two lines to appear. Just because there's two doesn't mean you're ovulating. You'll know you're ovulating when the second line turns as dark as the control line. These ones come in a pack of 40 (plus 10 pregnancy test strips which I've used in past cycles).
You Really Want to Be Pregnant
Your coffee tastes bad, you woke up with a headache, your stomach made a weird noise, you farted, you cried during a Tampax ad - these must be early pregnancy symptoms, right? Eh, maybe.
It's called symptom-spotting and anyone whose ever Googled "Am I pregnant?" has done it and according to my analytics that's a lot of people, me included.
Unfortunately, there's nothing more convincing that you're pregnant than really, really wanting to be pregnant. Since we're human, and no matter how many of the right foods we eat, exercises we try out or brisk walks we take, there will always be aches, pains, hiccups and waves of nausea and dizziness. This means that if you're looking for pregnancy symptoms, you can almost always find them - even when you're not pregnant.
If you're timing that baby dance down to the hour, your mind could be playing tricks on you with each little twinge. | Source
You're Taking the Wrong Test
OMG there's so many pregnancy tests it can be dizzying if you're not already dizzy, and I've learned the hard way that not all tests are created equal!
The first thing you need to consider before you even buy a pregnancy test is "Where am I at in my cycle?" Are you already late for your period? Is it more than a week away? Do you have irregular periods and you're not sure when you're even supposed to start?
For instance, if you're not supposed to start your period for another four days, you don't want to buy a rapid response test because it's meant to read your urine quickly and will need a really high amount of HCG, normally found after your missed period, to even read it. Likewise, if you're still a few days out from starting your period, you don't want to mess with a digital test because those also take higher levels of HCG to produce a positive result. Taking one of these tests early on and getting a negative result doesn't actually mean you're not pregnant, it means the test isn't right for you at this stage of your pregnancy. Instead, you need an early result test - one that tests for low levels of HCG.
What Kind of Pregnancy Test Should I Take and When?
If your period is still over a week away...
If your period is less than a week away...
If your period is due in the next 4 days...
If your period is late...
If you don't know when your period is due because you have irregular cycles...
You probablly should NOT take a pregnancy test yet. If you really, really need to pee on something, grab some internet cheapies off Amazon, a dollar store test, or one of those cheap WalMart pink dye tests. The result will most likely not be accurate, but you won't feel bad for spending too much money to pee on something.
Try an early response test. I never reccommend blue dye tests unless you're late for your period. They're notorious for false positives. Instead, I go by the gold standard - a First Response Early Result pregnancy test, otherwise known as FRER. These are pretty dang accurate, and get more accurate as you get closer to your period. With my second daughter I took one when I was still 3 or 4 days away from my period and it gave me a positive result. Keep in mind that only "early result" tests will work at this stage, not digitals and not rapid response.
You can start with a FRER and if it's positive and you want to confirm, you can give a digital test a chance. Don't freak out though if you get a positive FRER and a negative digital test - digital tests require more HCG to say "pregnant"
Now's the time to rip open a Rapid Response test. First Response has a good one and it read a higher level of HCG but it also gives you a result pretty instantly, like, while you're still peeing on it. You can also accurately use a digital at this point (usually).
If you're not sure when your period is actually supposed to start, or where you're at in your cycle, but you suspect you might be pregnant, invest in a box or two of internet cheapies. These are brands like ClinicalGuard and WondFo which can be found on Amazon. I like these for testing regularly because you get a bunch for really cheap (usually around 20-25 for $8) and you can take one every other morning just to keep track of things if you have an irregular cycle. A word of warning though - don't let these develop for too long. If you don't have a second line after ten minutes, throw the test away and don't look at it again. These often develop a second "line" after sitting for a few hours, even when you're not pregnant.
Use this guide to figure out what test is going to be most reliable for you at each stage of your cycle.
Could I Still Be Pregnant With a Negative Test?
What's the best pregnancy test for early detection?
That table above will give you an idea of the different types of tests you can take at each stage of the waiting game. However, I've always preferred First Response Early Result tests over every other type/brand simply because they're easy to interpret (two pink lines means you're pregnant, one pink line means you're not) and in my experience, have given me the earliest results. I feel comfortable testing with these four days before my period is supposed to start and if I get a negative I trust it's probably going to stay negative. With blue dye tests I've had false positives (ugh) and with some of the cheaper ones it feels like a gamble on reliability.
Why do I always feel pregnant right before my period starts?
Ever taken a pregnancy test because you felt so sick and then wiped only to realize that you just started your period? Nope, those weren't pregnancy symptoms at all, they were premenstrual symptoms which, thanks to a rise in progesterone can make you feel, among other things, nauseous and tired.
Why do I have a negative pregnancy test but no period?
There's a lot of reasons your period could be late besides pregnancy including stress, getting over a bug, or a treatable condition that's made you ovulate late or not at all.
What if the pregnancy test just has a really, really faint second line?
Annoyingly, the internet will tell you that any faint second line means your test is positive, but that's just not true. Here's some ways you can tell if that faint second line is actually an early positive:
You're using a pink dye test. The dye on these tests is much more reliable than blue dye tests, which often leave a vague second line even when they're negative.
You don't have to hold the test up to the light to see the second line. If you're doing that, then you're just backlighting the indent that already exists for the dye of a true positive to pool into. If the only way you can see your second line is by holding it up to the light, consider it negative and try again in a few days.
The second line appeared within a few minutes of taking the test. Some tests take longer to develop than others (up to ten minutes) but if you're pulling a test you took yesterday out of the trash and just now noticing a second line then it's probably an evaporation line and the test isn't a true positive.

I'm having lower back pain, missed my period, yet have a negative pregnancy test. What's going on?
A few different things could be going on. Here are the most common culprits of a missed period with pain when you're not pregnant:
You have a urinary tract infection. Do you have a fever or pain when you're urinating? Keep an eye on your symptoms and if they continue or worsen call your doctor. Urinary tract infections are easy to treat but will make you feel awful the further they're allowed to progress without an antibiotic.
You ovulated late and your period is gearing up to start. If you don't have any other symptoms of a UTI, chances are that you just ovulated late and your period is about to come on. Lower back pain is sometimes a pregnancy symptom but it's also a common PMS symptom.
You're pregnant but it's too early to test. For some of us, we'll feel a plethora of symptoms and even miss our period before a test shows up positive. It comes down to how quickly the pregnancy hormone builds in your system and it's possible there's just not enough of it built up yet to give you your BFP.
I had sex during my fertile days and I'm still not pregnant. Why?
There are so many answers to this question that it would be impossible for me to say for sure. Keep in mind though that it takes healthy couples an average of six months to conceive when they're trying. That's six fertile cycles before they successfully conceive! In fact, it's rare to make that baby on the first cycle, with less than 40% of couples finding out they're pregnant within the first month of trying.
Before you check in with a doctor, make sure that you're properly charting your cycle so that you know when your fertile days really are. An app isn't a great way to check your fertility since it bases your fertile days on a woman's average cycle - not when you've actually physically ovulated. To know when you've actually ovulated, you'll need to either chart using a Basal Body Temperature thermometer or ovulation tests (which you can find at just about any drug store).
If, after a year of trying you're still coming up with negative tests it's a good idea to let your doctor know so you can get down to the bottom of things.
I experienced a late period with light bleeding and a negative pregnancy test. Could I really be pregnant and testing too early or was that just a weird period?
That depends on when you took the test. If you took the test while you were still bleeding or just shortly after, then it's possible that you tested too early and that what you experienced was actually implantation bleeding. A good way to tell the difference between implantation bleeding and a light or wonky period is A) How heavy the bleeding is (heavy bleeding with clots is not implantation bleeding) and B) How long the bleeding lasts. Typically, implantation bleeding is only going to last a day or two. Anything more is likely a period.
If you tested at least four days after the bleeding ended and your test was still negative then you're probably not pregnant.
How many negative pregnancy tests have you taken so far?
Only one, maybe I should test again?
Just a couple over the last few days. Still no period, either.
Uh, I peed through like three entire packages in about an hour.

Danyelle
Hi Ladies;
I unsure what's going on; my breasts occasionally feel like tingling, as does my lower abdomen. I have had headaches, my breasts have gotten darker and I have little tiny bumps that have shown up around my nipples in the last 4 weeks, I have had indigestion, bloating, been gassy and "tasted metallic taste in my mouth oh— last month my period stopped 2 days short and this month I'm late my 4 days?
I have been under a lot of stress from work and frustrating circumstances, lately. I have taken 3 pregnancy tests 2 negative and 1 invalid only the control window darkened.
I once had psychology teacher who said, "If you get a negative pregnancy test, you may still be pregnant if you get a positive you're definitely pregnant!" Getting the faint-line is A positive result. The lighter line just means you are excreting less of the hormone; but you're expecting—-Congratulations!
