Searching for how to do pregnancy care during summer season? Congratulations…You are at the right place!!!
This post discusses on tips to take care of you and your bump during this summer.
Why summer is not so good time for pregnant ladies?
Most women experience pregnancy symptoms like morning sickness, fatigue, cramps and pains. Summer can worsen this.
When you are pregnant, your body temperature can be slightly higher than your normal temperature.
Summer heat and humidity can add to this and make you feel hotter. This can worsen the pregnancy symptoms you normally have. This makes you feel more uncomfortable and exhausted.
I had my pregnancy during the hot summer days. I remember sweating profusely and trying hard to keep myself cool.
No one would love summer if you were pregnant during summer!
I was in the Middle East during my pregnancy. I used to have too much vomiting, nausea, headaches and dizziness. With the AC turned on for the entire day, I used to experience some odd sensations that were very uncomfortable.
I mentioned this during the monthly checkup. My doctor gave me a few tips for pregnancy care during summer. This helped me a lot.
I am happily sharing those tips with you in the form of this article – how to take care of yourself and your bump during this summer!
Below are 10 tips that pregnant ladies can follow to reduce the discomforts caused by summer heat during your pregnancy.
Keeping yourself hydrated by drinking lots of water during pregnancy is very important for both the mother and the baby.
Dizziness, nausea, dry lips and mouth, less urine or yellow colored urine and overheating due to the hot weather all signal that you are dehydrated.
Summer heat tends to cause dehydration so it is recommended to drink 6-8 glass of water to stay hydrated. Make sure you always carry a bottle of water when you are out and about.
Include lots of fresh fruits and juice to beat the heat. Vegetables like cucumber should be included in diet during summer months. Avoid very spicy foods. Read to know whether green tea is safe during pregnancy.
You can also refer to the healthy diet to be followed during pregnancy and foods to avoid during pregnancy.
If you are feeling unbearably hot, a cool shower can be helpful. Take time to go to a swimming pool and refresh yourself.
Always carry a spray bottle when you are out and about. Spray it on to cool down yourself.
You can also refer to dos and dont's during pregnancy.
Wear light colored clothing during summer. Cotton type materials are comfortable during hot summer days.
Maternity clothes like maxi and gown type dresses that allow air flow and decrease sweating are recommended. Avoid wearing tight dresses.
Swelling of legs and feet is common during pregnancy. Summer heat can add to the discomfort associated with swollen feet.
Make sure to keep your feet up while you sit. During sleep hours keep your legs up with the help of pillows.
Always buy correct fitting shoes while pregnant. Special shoes for pregnant ladies are available in maternity shops. This can help to reduce the discomfort.
If you are walking or doing exercise during your pregnancy, choose the right kind of shoe that are meant for long distance walking or exercise.
If you have long hair tie it into a bun or a high pony tail to provide free air circulation in your neck and back. This can help reduce sweating too.
You can even go for a haircut to make it short to manage it properly during summers.
Use a cooling hair oil to apply on your hair and scalp while washing your hair. You can read the review of Nilibhringadi keratailam.
Pregnancy can make your skin very sensitive. Whenever you go out apply sunscreen to get protected from the sun.
Being hydrated also prevents dry skin.
Do not forget to wear your sunglasses too. A cute hat or scarf can also be used to save you from rays of sun.
During summer lips become dry. Use a good lip balm with spf 15 to protect your lips.
Walking, swimming, yoga and other pregnancy exercises are good for you and your baby.
During summer, exercise should be done early in the morning or in the evening when the temperatures is low.
During exercise if one feels tired it is better to relax and take rest. Don't try to over-stress yourself while doing physical activities. Do it light and limited to your comfort zone.
Being outdoors to get some fresh air is too good during pregnancy. It can actually help you to relax and rejuvenate.
During summer days restrict your outdoor activities to early morning or evening. Avoid going out during the peak hours like 11 am to 4 pm when the sun's rays are strongest.
Sleep and rest is very important factor for mothers. Sleeping helps to eliminate stress.
Summer heat can make you more tired. Take time for yourself. Relax by reading a book, listening to music or doing meditation. Rest is very important during pregnancy.
You can also refer to the Garbharakshambika stotras or chants for safe pregnancy.
Frequent naps during summer days can be helpful for the mother-to-be.
These were the tips I followed as a part of pregnancy care during summer. I am sure that my tips will be helpful for summer care during your pregnancy.
Share these tips through Facebook, twitter and Google plus so that it will be helpful to other pregnant ladies who are struggling to beat the heat during this summer.


Currently offer the highest power supply options. Also offers the highest amperage footbaths. One could go past 15amps but there is no efficacy going beyond that. So basically person can go up to 15amps for a footbath. Even two people can do simultaneous footbaths at 15amps if they want. One functional reason for doing a high amperage footbath is if you or your client don't want to spend a lot of time in a session. One could spend 15-30 minutes and get great results in such a short space of time. So really this brand is best suited option if you are a health practitioner planning to use it in a commercial setting.
Commercial Units available with higher amperage power supply for $100 more. Also the commercial unit that can do two footbath users at same time is $1900 resulting in a $500 savings versus buying two separate units. Replacement costs are cheapest of any brand at $60 to replace the thickest steel plate in the industry. few cents cost per footbath session <$1 and that is at a way higher amperage than any other bath on the market. If you were to run it at a lower amperage of the next highest brands around 5amp then you would have an even cheaper cost per footbath session.
One great design feature is the external fuse in the handle which allows you to easily purchase a high amp fuse and swap it out if you want to do the higher amperage footbaths. Most equipment out there has internal fuses…and even if you could swap them out their power supply can't handle the higher amperage draw with a higher fuse.
The costs on this footbath are kept down because of several aspects this kind of is a no frills but very functionally designed equipment that is all about maximizing the amperage and therapeutic efficacy. There is no money spent on a digital display or sohpisticated control panel as that just reduces potential DC current to the array and also makes the units far more expensive. The only important variable to know is the amperage which is viewable in analog directly on the power supply. As far as timing yourself or a client everyone has a watch, phone, or clock nearby..or heck get a kitchen timer you can wind up!
THE D-TOX MONSTER PRO IONIC FOOT BATH.
The idea for D-Tox Monster Ionic Foot Bath was started 4 years ago when Zsaire went to an alternative medicine Doctor for treatment as he was losing faith in the modern medical system. There he saw an ionic foot bath being used for the treatment of serious illnesses. The footbath wasn't the only tool the doctor used in his unique therapies, but it seemed to be a major component to his protocol. Not satisfied with the explanation given as to how and why the footbath was helping people, Zsaire then researched the different foot baths that were being used in healing therapies and discovered the actual benefits of the foot bath. Zsaire redesigned and adjusted the foot bath until it put out the maximum amount of negative ions and benefits. Returning the new design back to the doctor's office, D-Tox Monster Pro spent 8 month along-side it's $1,300 competitor (aqua-chi) which the good doctor used to reverse diagnoses for over a thousand people over 8 years.
D-Tox Monster has replaced the Aqua Chi in his doctor's office and has been sold by the doctor now for over 4 years. One average many Alternative Doctor's and Detox Wellness types of clinics are selling between 100-500 of these units per year to their friends and family, patients, clients, and on their websites. This currently is the biggest selling footbath on the market but very few people know this because D Tox Monster the company does not really spend any money on major advertising and promotions as there has not been a need to do so!
D-Tox Monster Pro ionic foot bath is the most advanced ionic foot bath technology ever developed. Of course every footbath company says this but really only one company and product can truly prove this statement as fact and is not a sales pitch. Many of the exclusive clinics this footbath is used and sold through have also conducted their own clinical trials (unpublished) and have years of experience using other brands of the top footbaths. Results and feedback has always blown the other brands out of the water. Even if you don't have an electrical engineering degree these devices are not that complicated to understand. Just a few components make them do what they do but most brands use cheap grades of components and array designs that seem to show that there was a lack of understanding about how to develop a concentrated negative polarity field and ions. The poor quality components and fuse limitations also create a bunch of cookie cutter footbath brands that are all low amperage. That means that people that require higher amperage (dosage) due to their condition or health goal simply will not get any benefits.
D-Tox Monster pro is an alternative medicine device. It can be used in the privacy of homes anywhere without a prescription (rx). D-Tox Monster is a detox machine that super charges the immune system and cell voltage, by negative ion saturation in the water. There is a lot of misunderstanding about how footbaths work. You don't release toxins into the water. It's the uptake of DC current into the body and through the negative ion flow that restores proper cell membrane polarities and proper Zeta Potential in all fluids. The difference between someone who has a health condition and someone who is well comes down to cell charge. This is core biological science that very few people and even many health practitioners understand and yet has been well known since the 50's.
The design of the array is so unique to other brands because when placing the feet on either side of the array in the tub of water and adding salt, the electrolysis process in the water forms 2 negative polarity fields you can actually see rotating.( I have never seen a powerful or proper enough negative polarity field formed in any other brand that actually creates visible swirling of the water. This is much better to see on video.
The foot bath charges the body like a capacitor/ battery. The immune system is boosted and the body receives more oxygen to the cells due to restoration of proper intracellular and extracellular charge potentials across the membranes. ALL METABOLIC PROCESSES TO WORK PROPERLY REQUIRE PROPER CHARGE POTENTIALS. So this means all the health benefits we hear about with footbaths are directly related to the charge of a cell. The D-Tox Monster pro ionic foot bath has been reported successful in relieving the symptoms of: acidosis, athletes foot, chronic pain, cancers, diabetic foot, edema, gout, immune system dysfunctions, infections, limes disease, parasites, rheumatoid arthritis, weight loss, wounds that won't heal, sleeping disorders, ph-balancing, decalcifying the Pineal Gland and more……….These benefits are achievable with lower amperage footbaths 3-5 amp range (which are just a few brands and are actually higher than the other 95% which are super low 1-2amp range just require 4-15 times as many sessions to equal 1 Monster footbath session) They to healing is dosage.
Zsaire joined the Marine Core in 1979 and went to school in Lakehurst, New Jersey for parachute rigging where he advanced to safety equipment specialist for A4's, A6's, and Av8 Harrier jets. He later spent 12 years in the Alaskan fishing/diving industry as captain of the fishing vessels Atlantic, Explorer, Shannon, and the Connie Dee. He then got married became a land developer in Washington and California.
Zsaire has 4 years working closely with Dr. Lubecki and other talented alternative healers. He has acquired an immense amount of knowledge in the very quickly growing field of the "Heal thy self" industry.
Zsaire's inspiration for the D-TOX MONSTER came through his own experiences with illness. His choice to use alternative medicine modalities became his passion. Extensive research and analysis results show the D-tox Monster Pro ionic foot bath is the very best on the market. His own health development and recovery was astounding healing over 5 different serious diagnosed health conditions. Zsaire also lost over 100 pounds and now stays in good health with the help of the D-tox Monster Pro.
Why is this ionic foot bath brand so unique?
Our array design exposes the feet to bio-electric negative polarity energy and generates more negative ions, the good ions, for the best detox machine available.
Our array design last longer than another foot bath on the market.
(60-80) treatments before having to change the replaceable plates. Some foot baths only last 3-5 treatments before replacement.
Our plates are replaceable and they can be changed out in just a few min with 2 nylon nuts and bolts.
The replacement plates are manufactured only by our company.
The cost of replacement plates reflects a 40 min treatment for less than one dollar per treatment.
The newly designed green feet on the array make it stable and commercial looking.
The new handle gives the array more safety factors and allows us to include electronics we would otherwise have to modify the power supply to accomplish.
Our customers are happy to have the very best service included in their purchase.
Our videos and quick start guide will make it easy for the customer to set up and be confident they are doing everything they can do to get the very best of the D-tox Monster's attributes.
One option will incorporate a pump in the kit for the elderly or weak to take foot baths without them or other family members around to carry the heavy tubs of water for the foot bath.
A pump is something that no other foot bath company incorporates.
Our unit is super cute and lovable and we can change the color of the feet so if a female wants to buy a foot bath we can make the feet color pink instead of green I love it.
In our future design for the spa or Dr. Office units, a larger power supply and dual arrays will allow 2 people to take foot baths at the same time.
The detox monster foot bath makes a clear difference in how I feel. My doctor told me to use it at least 3 hours a week. It has become an indispensable part of my health program. I recommend it highly.
My name is Sky and I need to let everyone know the D-tox Monster really works. I have been sick with severe psoriasis for over seven years. I have tried everything including the $10,000.00 shots that my doctor had me doing. No relief, I decided to go natural and found herbs like skull cap and vitamins that would help but it would never completely clear up. A friend suggested I use her foot bath the D-tox Monster pro in my bath tub for an hour a day for 10 days. I saw results in two sessions and was clear in 3 weeks. Thanks to the D-tox Monster I now have new skin and a new me.
Hi my name is David, I was helping my dad move some dirt, the dirt was hot with chemical fertilizer and manure. I was supposed to wear boots, I had tennis shoes on and the chemicals burned my skin to the 3rd degree. I was in excruciating pain the only relief I got was an ionic foot bath D-tox Monster that my friends had. Using cool water and neutralizing the chemicals with the foot bath gave me great relief. I had two sessions and had no infection. It healed fast and I had a lot less pain.

Home/Art/When The Agenda Is More Important Than The Art
When The Agenda Is More Important Than The Art
On the same-sex kiss in the new Buzz Lightyear movie, star Chris Evans lamented, "It makes me happy. It's tough to not be a little frustrated that it even has to be a topic of discussion."
The launch is, of course, laser-focused on the controversy, as that's how the film is making headlines. More than that, though, it's what wins the film and Evans brownie points in Hollywood, where the agenda, not the art, is the primary focus. It's laughable for Evans to claim he doesn't want to be spending his time talking about the kiss — it's a media gift during Pride Month, especially.
"The goal is that we can get to a point where it is the norm, and that this doesn't have to be some uncharted waters, that eventually this is just the way it is," Evans went on.
Truly listen to what he's saying here: The goal isn't producing a blockbuster or an award winning film; it's advancing a narrative and a cultural realignment.
And what of that realignment? We were once told that these kinds of media moments were about encouraging acceptance, but in the last several years, it's clearly become about recruitment, as well. That effort is evidently working: One in six adults in Generation Z identify as LGBT, according to survey data released last year from Gallup, with the majority considering themselves bisexual.
It's become an issue of social contagion. A writer for The Washington Post published a story on the data reported by Gallup and interviewed a student from my home town of Montgomery County, Maryland who identifies as "nonbinary" and uses they/them pronouns. The piece began, "Jasper Swartz recently realized that nearly all of their friends are 'queer in some way.'"
Parents around the country have told me the same: Their middle and high school students feel boring and uninteresting without some kind of "identity" they can wear with pride.
There are also consequences for refusing to participate in Pride and LGBT activism. Recently, five members of the Tampa Bay Rays made national headlines for declining to participate in the team's Pride campaign of adding a rainbow-colored logo onto their uniforms. The message sent by this national shaming was clear: It's no longer about "live and let live." You're either with us, or we're against you.
Where does this leave parents? They won't like the answer. It isn't an easy solution. The reality is: It's time to opt-out on a great deal of popular culture and fight back. It is time for us as a society to reckon with the fact that the objective of many is no longer pride and acceptance. They want to capture our kids as gender, and we cannot allow them to do so.
We're seeing it play out nationwide: It's not enough to opt out of bringing your kid to a Pride Parade when you know there will be sexually explicit images present there; you have to make sure your child's teacher isn't reading a book about a transgender child or drag queen to your kindergartner. It isn't enough to miss seeing "Lightyear;" you have to affirmatively and consciously inculcate your child with the lessons and values you want them to grow up believing in. That was the motive behind my decision to co-found a children's book series called Heroes of Libertywhich aims to actively promote positive values in children when their literature is awash in radical gender and race ideology.
Americans are already opting out of "Lightyear," which is providing to be a box office disappointment. Of course, those covering the industry are trying to explain away the numbers, but the fact is, Americans aren't interested in what they're selling. However, it's not enough to avoid seeing a movie or to boycott individual books, movies, and TV shows. American parents have to add, not just keep subtracting.
In its piece on the explosion of youth identifying as LGBT, The Washington Post laid out the path of one student: "Jasper grew up scrolling through gay memes on Instagram and following transgender influencers on YouTube. They attended a diverse public middle school in Montgomery County, Md., that taught lessons about sexual orientation and gender identity in health class."
We've seen parents nationwide fighting back against this kind of instruction at school board meetings, but parents are also going to have to take the difficult next step of fighting against the tide and firmly saying "no" to smartphones and unlimited internet access to their children. A local mother and professional working in the field of national drug policy told me, "These kids are facing a reality that we didn't have to deal with, and we need to preach internet safety. In our little parochial school most kids in my son's sixth grade have iPhones. People don't realize what kids can access with an iPhone. I think teens should not be allowed on social media, but that's not the reality we live in."
The fight isn't just with schools and Hollywood students, but with our own kids, who want to watch all of the latest movies and shows and be like their friends with iPhones.
Do we really want our children to be like every other child in their generation, though? Even before the toll of COVID, the data was clear: depression and anxiety are reaching astronomical rates among children and teens. Something is deeply amiss, and the warning bells are sounding; we're clearly doing something wrong.
We as parents have the ability to right the ship, both in our own homes and more broadly as a culture. It won't be easy, but rarely does what is right come easily.

Is Microdosing The Ultimate Mental Performance Hack?
By Caitlin Bell
Once associated with tie-dye clad, 1960s counterculture hippies, psychedelic drugs are beginning to move from the fringes of scientific study to the forefront of mainstream experimentation.
The magic of microdosing
A growing community of people across the globe are now taking 'microdoses' of drugs such as LSD, magic mushrooms and ketamine in order to feel more focused, creative, and present. Doses of these psychoactive substances (usually one-20th to one-tenth of a recreational dose) are too low to produce an intoxicating effect. Instead of participants experiencing the hallucinations we usually associate with psychoactive and psychedelic drugs, microdosing is reported to unlock a stream of performance-related benefits such as increased focus and concentration, enhanced creativity, reduced anxiety and depression, pain reduction, and improved mood.
How did the microdosing trend start?
The trend began to gain momentum between 2010 and 2013 among Silicon Valley's technology, engineering, and science professionals, who were searching for a way to boost their focus in order to churn out more code and think outside of the box. Past adopters of the trend include Apple founder Steve Jobs and Windows founder Bill Gates. And now, scientists are tapping into this new wave of wellness hacking in the hope of discovering magical solutions for a range of mental, physical and personal problems.
Thanks to widespread public anti-drug campaigns in the late 20th century, the conventional belief is that psychedelics exhaust your brain and are bad for your overall health. However, a swell of anecdotal reports from the last few years are beginning to suggest otherwise. Psychedelics have gained rapid popularity and media attention as a 'performance hacker', and a 2018 survey, in which a questionnaire was launched over several websites, revealed that the main motive for microdosing was, overwhelmingly, performance enhancement.
How does microdosing work?
Typically, a microdose is one-20th to one-tenth of a recreational dose. People will usually take this dosage every three to four days to avoid increased tolerance. However, the time spent microdosing is generally limited to around a month in order to prevent dependence or addiction.
The most commonly used psychedelics for microdosing are LSD and psilocybin (a naturally occurring substance found in magic mushrooms). With LSD, a little can go a long way. Microdosers usually cut up a 'tab' of acid on a piece of blotted paper, however it's almost near impossible to cut up into uniform pieces, meaning the dosage will fluctuate slightly each time. To avoid this, others distil the LSD in liquid and extract equal measurements each time.
Magic mushrooms on the other hand can be eaten raw, dried, made into a tea, or taken as drops of liquid psilocybin. They're a favourite of Silicon Valley tech types who love hunting for the next best thing that's going to help them stay competitive, focused and driven. Earlier this year, as a testament to just how far the trend has come, Forbes reported that for $2,000 per month, you can even get your own "psychedelic-trip coach guru" who will "guide you through your mind-altering journey".
Here's a few other popular drugs that people use for microdosing:
Ketamine. Ketamine is usually used as a sedative, for maintaining anaesthesia. Some users report feeling a physical high and a decrease in physical sensation in the body. Many think it can ease anxiety and depression, and with larger doses, the anti-depressive effects can last up to a month.
Ayahuasca. This Amazonian plant mixture contains a psychoactive substance called DMT. It's usually consumed in tea-form, and users say it increases sensitivity and openness, and decreases boundaries and defences.
DMT. This is the active hallucinogenic compound found in ayahuasca. It's usually smoked in powder form or consumed in a brew. The effects of DMT set in very quickly, with users saying it brings you to a place of introspection, allowing you to be in the present moment.
Due to the illegal nature of psychedelic substances, people are mostly having to resort to experimenting within their own homes, playing with varying schedules and doses to find out what works best for them. Up until 2019, scientists were having to tap in to these personal, private trials to explore the subject further. However, at the start of 2019, Imperial College London launched the world's first Centre for Psychedelics Research, a watershed moment for psychedelic science which has laid the groundwork for larger trials taking place around the world, bringing a fringe of medical research into the centre of focus. As another example, in January this year, New Zealand's Ministry of Health approved the world's first randomized, controlled trial on LSD microdosing.
So, myth or magic? These drugs are now just as much the subject of authorised medical trials as they are a quick productivity hack for Google execs. Let's break down the reported benefits and drawbacks of this new phenomenon.
Advantages of microdosing:
Those who have tried and tested microdosing, and experienced only positive effects, have reported the following:
The flow state (the feeling of being "in the zone").
Reduced anxiety and stress.
Improved mental health.
Enhanced creativity.
Optimism and boosted mood.
Superior body functioning.
Enjoyment in being able to control the dose.
Being able to quit other habits.
Disadvantages of microdosing:
Psychoactive substances don't have the same effect on all who take them. In fact, some users might be overly sensitive to certain drugs and have bad reactions. These people have reported the following effects:
Reduced energy levels.
Lower mood.
Increased anxiety and stress.
Poor focus.
Feeling agitated and/or uncomfortable.
Worsened mental health.
Dizziness and nausea.
No different to a placebo.
Ultimately, much more research needs to be done in order to properly explore and assess the power and potential of hallucinogens. Evidence for its beneficial effects on everyday life is mostly anecdotal, and so there's a pressing need for standardized, placebo-controlled studies to answer the wealth of questions at hand. Scientific evidence about the potential negative effects is also lacking and more needs to be done to avoid the possibly damaging impacts of improper drug use. Naturally, this is almost always complicated by the legal issues surrounding psychedelic substances, making it difficult for scientists to obtain access for research.
The hack to superhuman mind powers may be found in future trials, but for now we may have to resort to practising meditation and mindfulness to stay on our mental A-game. What do you think about the microdosing trend? Let us know in the comments below.

Serie A is back for yet another big weekend of action. The Italian league is one of the most competitive this season, with a number of teams jostling at the top for dominance, while midtable and the lower echelons of the league are very tight too. With all of this in mind, Genoa host Benevento on Saturday.
Genoa have been in poor form this season and they need to embark on a run of form that sees them winning a number of games. This campaign they have won just three games, drawing five and losing nine, while they have only scored 14 goals and conceded 22 times. This record has seen them take 14 points for the season so far, meaning they are only spared the relegation zone by their goal difference. In their last five, they have been better though, winning twice, drawing twice and losing just once, which has seen them climb into safety, for now anyway.
Benevento have been awful this season. After 17 games they are yet to win, while they have lost 16 times and drawn just once. Nine goals scored and 40 conceded shows they have been weak right across the pitch, and something has to change and quickly for the side as they are now 12 points adrift of 19th-placed Verona, and 13 points short of safety. Positively, their only point of the season came three games ago, but they have since lost two games on the bounce. With all of this in mind, we are backing Genoa with odds of 4/9 from Bet365.

Movie night to celebrate Starpoint's 40th…
Movie night to celebrate Starpoint's 40th anniversary
By Sarah Matott and The Daily Record |
PUBLISHED: October 18, 2017 at 6:43 pm | UPDATED: April 15, 2019 at 4:05 am
As part of celebrating Starpoint's 40th anniversary, Skyline Theater will host showings of two films that were released in 1977, the same year Starpoint opened its doors.
Starpoint is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, with several events scheduled this fall. The agency, a nonprofit, serves two vulnerable populations in Fremont County: young children and adults with cognitive and physical challenges. It includes services in Fremont, Chaffee and Custer counties, as well as communities along the Front Range.
Locally, Starpoint is home to the Fremont County Family Center, SPIN Early Childhood Center, as well as several services for adults, including the Life Skills Center and residential support.
Linda Epperson, the owner of Skyline Theater, said the money raised through the movie nights will go directly to benefit Starpoint and will offset the royalty costs from the two films.
She said when approached with the idea, they decided to pick two movies from 1977, as well.
On Friday night, Epperson said they will show the original "Star Wars" and on Sunday, the animated film, "The Rescuers," will be featured.
She said "Star Wars" was one of the most popular films that year, and the "The Rescuers" was one of the top children films in 1977.
"It's great because we will playing films from 40 years ago at Skyline Theater, which was (also) open 40 years ago," Epperson said.
She said although Skyline is currently listed for sale, she said they are looking at ways the theater can help people and organizations in the community.
"We hope everyone can come out and show their support for Starpoint and Skyline," Epperson said.
"Star Wars" will be at 7 p.m. Friday and "The Rescuers" will play at 3 p.m. Sunday.
The box office will be open one hour prior to each movie time, and the costs of tickets are $3 for each film or $5 for both movies.

The Moore–Hill House is a historic house in Peabody, Massachusetts.  It is an excellent example of a Gothic Victorian house, built in 1874 for W. H. Hill.  The -story wood-frame building has a cross gable roof line, with the main roof line running crosswise.  The front cornice, including the central front gable section, is decorated with paired brackets (a typical Italianate decoration), and the front windows have decorative surrounds.  The front door is centrally located and sheltered by an ornate entablature, above which is a round-arched window.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

Q: What type of probability is this? Context
I have been wondering what this type of problem might be called for a while, and have come up with an algorithmic representation, which I am not sure is correct - can anyone shed some light on this for me? I will try to give a simplified scenario that avoids the technical use-case...
Scenario
You own two pigs that are good at finding truffles. Pig A is correctly finds one 40% of the time.  Pig B correctly finds one 30% of the time.
You take the pigs to a woodland and set them to work for the day. Assuming there are truffles to be found, what is the probability that between them at least one truffle is discovered by the end of the day?
My rationale
Previously I have represented this as the following, which could be further extended for as many 'pigs' as you have in your truffle-hunting team. $P$ is the total probability of success and $p_i$ are the individual pigs probability of success:
$$P = 1-\prod_{i}(1 - p_i)$$
For the specific example with the two pigs I present above we have $P = 1 - ( (1 - 0.3) \times (1 - 0.4) ) = 0.58$
To me, this means that the more pigs you have with some truffle hunting skills, the more likely they are to find a truffle as a team.
My question(s)

*

*Is this formulation appropriate for the problem?

*What is the above formula called, so I can learn more about it's applications?

*What is this type of probability problem called?

Many thanks for your time!

A: *

*The rationale and the formula are correct. Well done.

*There is no particular name for this formula, or at least I have not heard it.

*There is also no name for this type of probability problems. I wouldn't even recognise a type. If I had to say something I would just say "a basic probability problem"

The description of the problem needs some work though. In particular this phrase is vague:

Pig A is correctly finds one 40% of the time

Here are some interpretations, just to give you a flavour. We can come up with many more:

*

*Every time a pig examines a root(that can be a truffle or not) is correct 40% of the time

*Every location the pig examines it finds truffles with probability 40%

*The pig finds truffles with 40% probability whenever it goes for a fixed-time expedition (say a day)

From your analysis it seems that you mean the last option, but this is not evident at all. So you have to take extra care to be clear when formulating the problem.
Another major omission is the statement that the pigs are independent in their search for truffles. Again not evident at all (and probably untrue in practice). You need to explicitly state it. Your solution is valid only if the pigs are independent.
Finally this phrase:

Assuming there are truffles to be found,

seems superfluous. If it's not superfluous it changes the problem. Are you implying for instance that the place where they look for truffles plays a role? Of course it would in practice, but do you want to model this in the formulation of your problem? If so, then we also need an a-priori probability that the place the pigs search has truffles. If this does not matter, do not mention it at all.

A: You can denote $X_1$ to be the discrete random variable representing whether a pig correctly finds truffles with probability $p=0.4$ and not finding truffles with probability $q=1-p=0.6$. Then for $n$ pigs, assuming that the pigs act independently, you can introduce the random variable $X= X_1+\cdots+X_n$. Since $X_1$ is Bernoulli distributed then the sum $X= X_1+\cdots+X_n$ is a binomial random variable with parameters n and p. Where Let $X_1,X_2,\ldots ,X_n$ are independent Bernoulli random variables.

A: Technical specifications should never be left out in logic.

number line colored 40% red, 30% green, and 30% black representing mutually exclusive events adding to 100%

10 by 10 "grid" made using 4 separate grids, colored such that the green (4 by 3 grid) is the overlap of independent events A finds a truffle, and B finds a truffle, The red represents B finds a truffle, but A does not( 3 by 6 grid), the blue (4 by 7 grid) represents A finds a truffle, but B does not, and the black (7 by 6 grid) represents neither A nor B finds a truffle. Okay slight inaccuracy in its creation.
We could also have conditional probability , which looks similar to the second picture above except, The probability of A given B wouldn't be the same percentage area as the probability of A given (not B).
Your formulation is the second picture above. aka independent events.  It does go to 100% in theory ,  but on the condition that all events are independent of all subsets of previous events. If not, then it's conditional probability.

Men and women's working hours 'nearly equal'
Image copyright Getty Images
The split between genders in the amount of paid and unpaid work they do has shrunk over the last 40 years, according to a think tank.
A new study by the Resolution Foundation found that men in the UK are doing fewer paid hours and women more.
However, men get paid for 10 more of those hours a week than women do.
The foundation says that women and men are almost equal in terms of hours worked, clocking in 50 and 51 hours a week respectively.
Since the 1970s, women have increased their paid working hours by more than five hours to 22 per week, and have cut unpaid hours, which include childcare duties and household chores, by almost three.
Meanwhile, men have cut their paid hours by more than eight to 34 per week. The number of unpaid hours worked has increased by more than five a week.
Women still spend more time on childcare and spend slightly more time on "personal care". Men, by contrast, spend more time in front of the TV. Both spend the same amount of hours asleep.
The report also highlights what it describes as a "new divide" across households. Women in higher-income households have seen the biggest increase in paid work, with men in lower-income households seeing a drop in their working hours – by as much as three hours a day – since the 1970s.
The foundation suggests that, as a result, the gap in total hours of paid work between high and low-income households has grown from 40 minutes per week in 1974 to four hours and 20 minutes in 2014-15.
Paid work takes up small % of average day
Proportion of day taken up by different activities
One in seven workers in low-income households want to increase their hours of work, compared with just one in 30 workers in high-income households.
George Bangham, economist at the Resolution Foundation, said that since the coronavirus outbreak, many households are reconsidering how they structure their days.
"Debates around how people spend their time often focus on a single goal – speeding up the move to a shorter working week to enable more time for socialising, sport and hobbies," he said.
"But this isn't how people's lives have changed over the past four decades, desirable as it may be.
"Men are doing less paid work, while women are doing more. Both have less time for 'play' with childcare up and leisure time down.
He added that a new "working time inequality" has emerged.
Labour's shadow women and equalities secretary, Marsha de Cordova, said: "The government must carry out and publish an Equality Impact Assessment of the financial and social measures it has taken so far to support people through the pandemic.
"It's vital to prevent lower income households bearing the brunt of the crisis when they were already doing less paid work than high income households and many wanted to be doing more."

Inaugural Address delivered by HIS EXCELLENCY MR. MAUMOON ABDUL GAYOOM President of the Republic of Maldives at the Opening Ceremony of the Seminar on "THE CALL FOR ISLAM IN SOUTH AND SOUTH EAST ASIA"
10 January 1983, Ref: MAG/1983/2
بســم اللّـه الرّحمـن الرّحيــم
Mr. Chairman, Honourable Ministers and Distinguished Delegates from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Libya, Malaysia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, India, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines and the Maldives:
It is a great pleasure for me to welcome you in the Republic of Maldives. We thank you for accepting our invitation to participate in this seminar and we are looking forward to the pleasure of having you with us for the next few days. I know that you have come to Male' for a very important purpose and that you will be very busy in the next few days deliberating on issues of vital concern to the Muslim peoples and Muslim communities who live in this region. I do hope, however, that all of you get time away from the meetings to relax and enjoy the beauty, the serenity and the holiday atmosphere of this country.
The Minister of Education and his staff have been at great pains to make the necessary arrangements for your comfort. I realize that there will be some shortcomings, but I am sure you will all understand the physical limitations that a small island country like the Maldives will have to cope with in providing all the facilities that you find in bigger and more developed countries.
Mr. Chairman, Honourable Ministers and Distinguished Delegates:
This seminar on "The Call for Islam in South and South East Asia" is the first of its kind to be held in the Maldives. We are a nation that has embraced Islam some 830 years ago and, though we have remained a 100% Muslim country ever since, we think that we are opening a new page in our history today.
The Maldive Islands, or Dhībat al-Mahal, as the Arab traveller of the 14th century Ibn Battuta called them, or Dībājāt as the early Muslim geographer and writer Al-Masoodi referred to them, are believed to have been inhabited at least 2,500 years ago. A modern explorer and traveller of international repute has recently told us that there is historical evidence to indicate that people have been living on these tiny Indian Ocean islands for about 3,500 years.
Whatever theories are proved or disproved in due course regarding the time when the earliest groups of people settled down on these islands, it is doubtful whether the Maldives ever functioned as a state with a specific national identity before the people of this country embraced Islam in the 12th century. The history of the Maldives before Islam remains lost in obscurity, but a wealth of information about the various kings and queens who ruled the country after that momentous event in 1153 is on record which probably shows that the people of this country recognized themselves as citizens of a sovereign state and regarded themselves as one nation only after conversion to Islam.
The situation remains true to this day. Every true Maldivian recognizes the inseparable link between Maldivianism and Islam. This unity of character between our national identity and our faith passed on to us from generation to generation over the past eight centuries has been enshrined in the laws of the country. Our laws do not permit a non-Muslim to become a Maldivian citizen. This does not mean, however, that we practise discrimination between religious faiths. The real essence of Islam, as you know, is that it is non-discriminatory. Its tolerance of other beliefs and religions is clearly established in the Holy Quran, the Sunnah of the Prophet (Peace be upon him!) and the constitutional precepts and practices of the Muslim Ummah since its inception. "There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from the erroneous." (Holy Quran 2:256)
We Maldivians, as true believers of Islam, hold freedom of belief as sacred and we abhor discrimination between man and man on any grounds whether of creed, colour or race. It is only that we are such a homogenous and closely-knit society based on one national identity, one language, and one faith, that we are convinced that the preservation of this oneness in faith and culture is essential for the unity, harmony, and progress of the country.
Why the Maldives is hosting a seminar on "the Call for Islam" is self-evident in the fact that the Maldives itself is a living example of a nation converted to Islam through a peaceful process based on the Quranic injunction that the call to the path of Allah shall be by way of good counsel and persuasion. We also feel that this aspect of the spread of Islam in South and South East Asia has not been adequately studied. We realize too that in order that the Muslim peoples and communities of the region may protect their national, political and social rights, it is most important that the problems that face these peoples and communities are fully and clearly understood.
However, as the distinguished delegates will have taken note, this seminar has no political motivations. It is a purely scholarly exercise the purpose of which is to better comprehend the historical and social factors involved in the speedy spread of Islam in the region and review the role the call for Islam can play in strengthening the bonds of Islamic brotherhood between the Muslim communities of the region. I would like to put on record here that the Government of the Republic of Maldives which enjoys excellent relations of friendship with all the countries of South and South East Asia, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, acknowledges the concern of all governments of the region in protecting the rights of Muslim minorities in their respective countries.
Mr. Chairman, Distinguished Delegates:
It was over 1,400 years ago that in a month of Rabee-ul Awwal such as this the Holy Prophet Muhammed was born. It is both surprising and alarming to note that although mankind has made great strides in scientific, technological and material progress in the past fourteen centuries, it has not achieved any notable spiritual advancement. The political and social ills that had tormented the world then and had caused much bloodshed, destruction and hatred between nations have not been eradicated, nor have they been rendered less powerful in influencing the actions and deeds of men and states.
As in those early times, we find today in this enlightened 20th century, some powerful nations trying to dominate the world. In many international issues that confront the world today might is still regarded as right. Grave injustices are perpetrated on weaker peoples and nations, innocent peoples are being uprooted from their homes, war is waged for the purpose of acquiring new territories, and arsenals of deadly weapons are being stockpiled in the name of defending peace and security with the result that the threat of a nuclear holocaust is casting its terrible shadow on the destiny of mankind.
For these reasons, the present-day world needs Islam as it needed it fourteen centuries ago. Islam brought peace and harmony to a divided world. It brought justice and equality; and it taught mankind the ideals of compassion, love and human brotherhood. It laid the foundation of a great human civilization in which all human beings regardless of colour or ethnic origin, were regarded as equal, and in which knowledge was accepted as the ultimate means of recognizing the Creator. It was a civilization of enlightenment, mercy and understanding. These are the very ideals that the world most urgently needs today. The confusion, chaos and torment that the human community at large is experiencing today can only be remedied by a spiritual and moral awakening equal to the material advancement the world has achieved in the past few centuries. This spiritual and moral upliftment can only be attained by a civilization such as that brought about by Islam.
This is a seminar of scholars, men of learning and wisdom. If we examine the major problems confronting the Muslim world or the Muslim Ummah today in the light of our knowledge of Islam, its ideology and its practical approach to worldly matters, it will not be difficult for us to identify two kinds of threats that the Ummah is faced with. One is the threat from without, the threat posed by the enemies of Islam who, according to the graphic Quranic expression, "want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths", and who have waged a relentless war on Islam and Muslims and have succeeded in dividing the Muslim Ummah and depriving millions of Muslims such as the Palestinian people of their homes and national soil.
The other is the threat from within, which is undoubtedly a greater danger than the former. The internal ills that are sapping the strength of the Muslim Ummah are many. We see Muslim nations locked in deadly combat with each other. The blood that is shed is Muslim blood – not that of men and women of a particular country. The destruction caused is a loss to the whole Ummah. Relations that exist between many Muslim countries today are not those of Islamic brotherhood and understanding, but of suspicion and mistrust. These manifestations of armed and non-armed conflict, disunity and ill feeling between one Muslim country and another are, in my view, caused by three fundamental defects that have surfaced in the body-politic of Islam after the glorious first phase of the Islamic civilization.
The first of these defects is the inability of Muslims to understand the spirit of Islam in many of its teachings. The greatest strength of Islam lies in its flexibility which has given it its well-accepted characteristic – that of being suitable to all times and to all places. Many Muslims throughout the ages had lost sight of this great virtue of Islam and had created excessively strict regimens in many areas of human activity. This intransigent approach to new problems and situations in an ever-changing world is contradictory to the spirit of tolerance and broad-mindedness propagated by the Holy Quran and practised by the Prophet and the Guided Khalīfās. It is of vital importance today that we fully recognize the tolerance and flexibility of the teachings of Islam and, in so doing, bring back to Islam its main source of power and vitality which has enabled it to rise to unsurpassed heights of glory and to ward off the transgressions of other religious and non-religious systems throughout history.
The second shortcoming, sectarianism, may be the direct result of this intolerance and rigidity of outlook. It is unbelievable and unacceptable that a nation that Allah ordained to be one community when He said: "Surely, this nation of yours is but one community" (Holy Quran, 21:92), should be divided and sub-divided into numerous sects and factions. One is a Sunnī, the other a Shī'ī, the third a Khārijī and the fourth belongs to yet another faction. It is not less than tragic that the followers of Islam have forgotten the admonition of the Holy Prophet not to allow themselves be divided into sects and factions as has been the case with the Jews and the Christians. Had Muslims heeded this prophetic warning and preserved the political and religious unity of the Ummah, we would undoubtedly have been a most powerful community of nations today.
The third internal sickness from which the Muslim world is suffering is its lack of self confidence. Today, Muslim nations possess great human, spiritual and material resources second to none. One out of every five who live on the globe today is a Muslim. The moral and spiritual strength available to the Muslims is enormous. Their material wealth is staggering. It is a matter of the utmost grief for any right-thinking Muslim to note that the Muslim nation is oblivious of the great power and strength that it can wield in the world. This ignorance of the true potentials of the Muslim Ummah, or the lack of confidence in its own strength, has led different Muslim countries to follow different paths. A resurgence of Islam can never occur unless we, the Muslims of the world, fully recognize our spiritual and material strength and follow the independent path of Islam – the path of truth, justice, and compassion.
The inevitable result of these inner ills and defects is that Muslims have misrepresented Islam and its values to such an extent that the non-Muslim world is equating Islam with qualities that are totally alien to its true character. To many people in the world, especially in the west, Islam has today become synonymous with hatred, brutality and terror. Nothing can be farther from the truth, for it is Islam which brought peace to a war-torn world, replaced injustice with justice, ignorance with knowledge, confusion with enlightenment, and introduced harmony and understanding to a troubled and disunited mankind fourteen centuries ago.
Mr. Chairman, Honourable Ministers, and Distinguished Delegates:
Today, as I have the honour and privilege of declaring open this seminar on "The Call for Islam in South and South East Asia", I call on the leaders of all Muslim countries to forget their differences and to work for the unity of the Muslim Ummah. Any initiative taken in this direction and any effort made to create conditions favourable to the settlement of all issues that divide the Muslim world by peaceful means will be blessed by Allah and have our fullest and unconditional support. I beseech all Muslims to remember that when the Muslim Ummah was united under one Khalīfā in the first few centuries of Islam, it was the most powerful and the most respected nation in the world. It was the Muslim Ummah that laid the foundations of a truly human civilization which enabled the world to attain both material and spiritual progress through dedication to the word of Allah – the word of truth, and to the task of establishing a happy and prosperous life as His vicegerent on earth.
The Republic of Maldives may be a very small nation but it is, nevertheless, an integral and a sincere part of the great Muslim Ummah. It is, as such, prepared to shoulder its responsibilities in furthering the cause of Islam in this region and promoting unity and fraternity between its peoples. We would therefore welcome any responsibilities that you, Honourable Ministers and Distinguished Delegates, may wish to entrust us with in respect of the Islamic Call activities in the region if they fall within our capabilities.
It is a matter of utmost pride to us that the Maldives has remained a fortress of Islam in the midst of the Indian Ocean for over eight centuries. Our forefathers have defended with their life-blood the glorious light of Allah that had lit their hearts with His eternal love. The sacred torch has been handed down from generation to generation, and it is our duty and privilege now, as true believers, to honour and protect the source of all our blessings – the message of Islam. We are firmly committed to this great objective with the grace of Allah. "If Allah is your helper, none can overcome you, and if He withdraws His help from you, who is there who can help you? In Allah let believers put their trust!" (Holy Quran 3:160)

Legendary songwriting duo Paul Simon and Arthur Garfunkel toured together in 2003, their first national tour in more than two decades, playing all their hits from their rise to fame in the sixties. Dubbed the Old Friends tour, Old Friends: Live In Concert is a two-disc set that finds the folk-rock sensations delivering all your favorites - "I Am A Rock", "Hey, Schoolgirl", "Scarborough Fair", "Mrs. Robinson", and "Bridge Over Troubled Water", to name a few. All to sell out crowds in over 30 markets.
The harmonies are as spot-on as ever. Age has not slowed the duo down, as is apparent throughout the fresh, crisp delivery of these songs, which sound as valid and alive today as they did three decades ago when they were written and first heard.
Capturing a magical tour, these songs, and their performance, brings forth many memories for both the audience and the musicians. Backed by a sturdy, more-than-capable band, the classics are re-visited, updated, and brought back to life (as if they ever died) on this live recording that doesn't disappoint. I'll give it a B+.


Imagine the scent of spring flowers after rain, with a sophisticated essence of floral honeysuckle and top notes of magnolia. Fills your room with an uplifting and vibrant aroma, that is beautifully balanced, making an inviting impression without being overpowering. Reed diffuser oil will continue to wick up the sticks, scenting your room for up to several months.
Place sticks into the bottle, to absorb the diffuser oil for about 15 minutes. Then flip sticks over, so that the saturated end is in the air. Reed diffuser will continue to evaporate, creating a subtle and luxurious scent. Flip over sticks every 1-2 weeks to enhance the output of fragrance. Adjust the intensity of the reed diffuser scent by changing the number of aroma sticks. Removing sticks, will reduce the amount of scent emitted into the air.

I'm not entirely sure how old I was when my love of baking took over, but it was many years ago now. It all started with a recipe for a victoria sandwich. My mum has always been a keen baker, forever making sure myself and my older brother had a birthday cake every year, each one more extravagant than the last. She is also firmly in charge of making the christmas cake during the festive period, and that will never change as far as I'm concerned. It is because of my mum that I am where I am today. Years of support and encouragement have led me to realise that if I put my mind to it I can achieve pretty much anything.
I'm Kate, and It was back in 2005, when I was 15, that I decided what I wanted to do with my life, but it wasn't until 2012 that I was able to fulfill my wish. In 2005 I learnt the hard way that life is too short not to spend your life doing whatever it is that makes you happy. As a result I have thrown myself into countless projects and have enjoyed pretty much every minute of them. From directing plays when I was at school to competing for my university in trampolining, I have conquered fears that I never even knew I had and I have come out as a stronger person.
Delicious Decadence has been a long time in the planning. In my first year at school I ran the Wednesday afternoon pretend coffee shop, 'Cosy Cat's Cosy Corner Cafe', and now I am opening my own real coffee shop – who would have thought it.
I plan on enjoying life and I urge anyone who reads this to do the same. Life really is too short to not take a chance on something. It might be the scariest thing you've ever done, I know this venture is for me, but it might just turn out to be the best thing you've ever done, as I hope this will.
What an inspiring website you have. I have really enjoyed reading your story. It sounds very similar to my dream and I totally agree that life is way to short. I hope one day to be where you are today and pass on my skills to my little girl (who is 3) when she is older.Well done for fullfilling your dreams.

Lorraine M. Mangual, 70, Marlborough
Marlborough – Lorraine M. (Charbonneau) Mangual, 70, of Marlborough, passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, Sept. 1, 2018 after a period of declining health.
She was born Nov. 4, 1947 in Marlborough to the late Leo V. and Ethel (Santora) Charbonneau, also from Marlborough. The first of six children, she lived for a time in Arlington, Texas, before returning back to the area for good with her family in 1961.
Lorraine was a loving wife of 53 years, and is survived by her husband, John B. Mangual, also of Marlborough.
She was raised and attended school primarily in the Marlborough/Hudson area. While she yearned for a career in the President John F. Kennedy-era Peace Corps, she helped raise a young family by working high tech jobs at both Digital and Data General before eventually turning her hand to retail and then retiring from Wal-Mart in 2006.
She had a vivacious and outgoing personality, and was always trying to help others by any means possible, which harkened back to her Peace Corps desires.
She enjoyed swimming and diving, trips to the ocean, and was an avid bird watcher. This as well as playing dominos, building puzzles and taking many an uncharted driving adventure with only a printed map, as her father Leo had taught her how to read very early in her life. She also enjoyed writing and sending friends and family member's letters and greeting cards almost daily and up to the very end of her days.
Lorraine was a longtime member of Christ the King church in Marlborough, and like her parents was a proud lifetime member of both the AMVETS Post 208 and VFW Post 1027 in Hudson, where she served as their Auxiliary President on two occasions for the latter. She was also very proud of and was self-rewarded by her active involvement in The Fresh Air Fund by hosting underprivileged children from New York City each summer.
In addition to her loving husband, John B., Lorraine is also survived by her beloved children, son Johnny A. Mangual and his wife Patty of Southborough, daughter Maureen Larson and her husband Darryl of Marlborough; sisters Linda Saari-Charbonneau of Marlborough, Lorna Felix and her husband Richard of Sterling, and Elaine Derosier of Uxbridge; and brothers Leo A. Charbonneau and his wife Brenda of Uxbridge and Leon Charbonneau and his wife Sue of Ashburnham. She is also survived by her grandchildren, whom she adored and doted on, Matthew Mangual, Olivia and Abigail Larson and Rebecca, Katie and Elizabeth Blackburn, as well as many loving nieces and nephews and close lifelong friends.
A period of calling hours will be held Thursday, Sept. 6, from 4-7 p.m., at Tighe Hamilton Regional Funeral Home, 50 Central St., Hudson. A memorial service will be held in the funeral home the following day, Friday, Sept. 7, at 10 a.m. Burial will be private at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in honor of her incredibly special niece, Hailey P. Charbonneau, to the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation at www.umdf.org.

World Football: Saints to make their mark in Switzerland
By James O'Rourke on	 Oct 5, 2019 European Football, Tips
WORLD football fanatic James O'Rourke (@JamesOR1) continues-off his 2019 travails with two hand-picked best bets from across the continent on Saturday.
Norrkoping v Djurgarden | Saturday 2nd November 2019, 12:00
We're at the final hurdle of the Swedish Allsvenskan season and everything boils down to Saturday afternoon as the division participate in their respective final games. Not only are the relegation positions not completely decided, but the league title is still to be determined as well. However, the race for top spot is firmly in the hands of Djurgarden, who only need a point from their final game.
That may appear easier said than done as they travel away from home to face Norrkoping, who sit fifth in the table and have lost only one league game since July. Not only that, but they're unbeaten at home since June, too, winning their last six on home soil and all with clean sheets.
This therefore could potentially open the door for Malmo and Hammarby, who are relying on Norrkoping winning and then hoping they can the job done themselves, as well as the other than dropping points.
As mentioned, you really want to be in the shoes of Djurgarden this weekend however. They've been top of the table for a little while now and have developed a great habit of just getting the job done. Five of their last eight wins have been by a one-goal margin, and six of their 10 away league wins this season have also been by one-goal. They're one of only two teams to concede below 20 goals in the Swedish top flight, proving that their game management is quite something.
The thing is, Norrkoping don't need to win this game given they have nothing on the line. That being said, they're in top form and don't know how to lose at the moment. They have an impressive W10-D2-L2 home record that further enhances their claims. Could they spring a shock? They've certainly got a chance, and I am slightly wary of backing Djurgarden to win at odds-on, especially as a draw would be enough.
I don't normally do this, but I'm prepared to back the Draw at 13/5 (BetVictor) in this one. Djurgarden haven't necessarily been spectacular and nerves will undoubtedly play a possible part in this one, especially knowing Malmo and Hammarby should win their games, and this is the biggest point that Djurgarden need probably in recent times considering they last won this league back in 2005.
Norrkoping have conceded only eight home goals and Djurgarden seven away this season. I'm quite content to go for the draw in this.
St Gallen v Sion | Saturday 2nd November 2019, 18:00
One team who have caught the eye in this usually two-team Swiss Super League is St Gallen.
With Young Boys and Basel occupying the top-two, which they have done for the last five seasons without fail, St Gallen have made their claim to try and break up the elite group. They're making a decent fist of it thanks to a 7-2-3 record that has given them 23 points. The top three have started to break away slightly and wins in matches like this are key for St Gallen.
Sion however find themselves fourth, so they travel firmly believing that they can win this. The concern for them is that they have hit a bad run of form at a bad moment. They're winless in their last five league matches, losing four of them and conceding at least two in four of them, too. Defensively they must sharpen up when travelling to a St Gallen side that has scored three or more in three of their past four at home.
This game is sixth against eighth from last season, and considering this is only a ten-team division then it just shows you how well both of these have done to showcase some improvement. Only six-point separates fourth to eighth in this league as things stand however, proving that literally a few wins can see you climb half the table.
Therefore, third against fourth could be a slight exaggeration, and it shows you how well Sion started the season to see them still high in the league despite going winless in five. This is a game where goals do look to be on the agenda – 9/12 of St Gallen's matches contained Over 2.5 Goals, with their home matches averaging 3.30 goals. Sion has seen 8/12 beat the Over 2.5 Goals line, including their last three away.
Sion have only won on two of their last 14 visits to St Gallen inside 90-minutes, and St Gallen really do look a dangerous team this season. I fancy them to win, especially with Sion conceding a few at the moment. St Gallen to win and Over 2.5 Goals will be the play at 13/8 (SkyBet).
Norrkoping v Djurgarden – Draw (13/5 BetVictor)
St Gallen v Sion – St Gallen win and Over 2.5 Goals (13/8 SkyBet)

Q: Full text search installed or not I have instaled SQL server 2008 R2 and when I run this SQL in SQL server management studio:
SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled')

I get 0
But If I run this:
SELECT * FROM sys.fulltext_catalogs

I get one row. I want to know If fulltext search is installed on my sql server or do I need to reinstall SQL server with advance options.
Please suggest.

A: Easy way
SELECT
CASE FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled')
    WHEN 1 THEN 'Full-Text installed.'
    ELSE 'Full-Text is NOT installed.'
END;

inspired by https://www.sqlshack.com/hands-full-text-search-sql-server/

A: My answer:
If FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY says it's not installed, then I would install from the original media.  Run through the installer and simply add Full Text Search from the features page.
FTS is fully in the SQL Engine in 2008 so if it thinks it isn't installed, then ya best make it happy.
My opinions/ponderings:
Did you move a database from a previous SQL installation that had full text installed?  That might explain the row in sys.fulltext_catalogs.
When you open a Database in SSMS, under the Storage Folder, Full Text Catalog folder do you have the option to add a New Catalog when you right click?
In SQL Configuration Manager do you see the Full Text Daemon Launcher service?

A: I just made the test on a new SQL Server 2016 Express installation without fulltext feature (did not used the "Advanced Services" setup).
I can confirm you can perfectly create fulltext catalogs on databases even if fulltext feature is not intalled.
But if you try to create a fulltext index, you'll get a clear error message stating the feature is missing :
Executing :
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON dbo.tbltxt(coltext)
   KEY INDEX ui_tbltxt
   WITH STOPLIST = SYSTEM;
GO

...will throws error :

Msg 7609, Level 17, State 5, Line 87
  Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded.

March 19, 2009 - The FDA has approved an investigational device exemption (IDE) for a multicenter clinical trial of IDEV Technologies Inc.'s SUPERA stent, a novel stent platform designed for the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in the superficial femoral artery (SFA).
The SUPERB trial (Comparison of the SUPERA PERipheral System to a Performance Goal Derived from Balloon Angioplasty Clinical Trials in the Superficial Femoral Artery), a prospective, single-arm trial of 258 subjects at up to 40 U.S. sites, will be led by national co-principal investigators Kenneth Rosenfield, M.D., of Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, and Lawrence Garcia, M.D., of Caritas St. Elizabeth's Medical Center, Boston.
"The approval of this IDE marks a significant step forward toward understanding the potential benefits of the unique properties of the SUPERA stent," Dr. Rosenfeld said. "Members of the physician community have already shown a high level of interest in this novel stent platform and IDEV's commitment to generating prospective clinical data will help us demonstrate the promise of this device."
The objective of the trial is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the SUPERA Interwoven Self-Expanding Nitinol Stent in treating subjects with obstructive SFA disease. SUPERA has demonstrated superior properties in engineering tests compared to nitinol laser cut slotted tube stents resulting in greater than four times the radial strength and 360 percent stronger crush resistance. The increase in radial strength is due to the product's novel interwoven design, which adds strength without compromising flexibility. SUPERA also withstood more than 10,000,000 cycles of repeated bending - 120 degree flexion and compression loading fatigue testing, without a fracture.
