Making Sense of Bad Period Cramps
Your friend should get it any second.
Having really bad period cramps is no fun. Sometimes all you want to do when you have bad period cramps is stay home curled up in a ball under your favourite blankets binge-watching feel-good romcoms. Well, we're here to help you make sense of your bad period cramps – when it's totally normal, what you can do to help ease them, and when to reach out for help.
First things first. Period cramps are normal – even bad period cramps. All women get them sometimes. Period cramps – bad or otherwise – are ultimately caused by hormone-like substances produced by your body called prostaglandins that make your uterus contract, helping it push out the tissue and blood of your unneeded uterine lining as reddish fluid – i.e. your period – when you're menstruating. Period cramps tend to start a day or two before your period actually comes.
Unfortunately, the longer and heavier your period, the more likely you are to have bad menstrual cramps. That's because your uterus will be contracting for longer and getting rid of a greater volume of liquid from your uterus.
Rest assured. It may not be that way every month. The intensity of your menstrual cramps – and your period symptoms in general – will vary from month to month. Changes in lifestyle, diet, or hormones result in a heavier, more painful period for that month. So, if you have bad period cramps, look back on what you ate or did differently that month. It may have had an effect.
Worse-than-usual menstrual cramps are typically a sign of changes in your hormone levels that month. This will typical sort itself out on its own. If you're concerned, speak with your doctor.
Keeping your muscles loose is key to counteracting the contractions that cause period cramps. Staying warm is a good start. Hug a hot water bottle, take a warm shower, or curl up in your favourite cuddly sweats.
Light exercise also helps because it increases blood flow to your crampy areas. It doesn't need to be too intense. Keep it simple with a brisk walk around the block, some light yoga or stretching, or a quick, easy workout at the gym.
Staying hydrated can also help ease bad menstrual cramps. This means drinking plenty of water and laying off the caffeine and salty foods.
You may also want to talk to your mum or a trusted adult about taking an over-the-counter pain medication for relief.
Dysmenorrhea is just the medical term for period cramps. It is used to describe the menstrual cramps and period pain girls and women experience before their period or when they just started it.
If your menstrual cramps are worse than usual and they are not responding to over-the-counter pain medications, call your doctor. Together you can get to the bottom of what is causing your bad period cramps and come up with a solution.
The good news is that period cramps can help you know your period is just around the corner. When you feel it coming, check your pads and tampon supply. Stashing some ALWAYS Ultra pads in your bag is also a good idea. ALWAYS Ultra uses absorbent gel technology to lock away liquids for up to 100% leakage protection so that you always feel confident on your period – period cramps or not.

Keywords: WordPress + NGINX + SSL - Google Cloud Platform - Technical issue - Email configuration (SMTP)Description: I just fresh install wordpress+nginx+ssl.
Check email, contact form 7, test email, mailgun test are all working.
However, my theme email is not working. When new user try to register on my site, they never receive their verification email.
Then the theme author return to me:
"We have investigate it in details and find out that your server is not sending email when there is any text/html in email header. You server is only sending email with standard text/plain header only."
Reply from Mail Gun on who is responsible to be adjusted:"Whichever one explicitly creates the MIME is the one that will need to be adjusted. Wordpress has WPMail as the main mail program while there are likely other extensions that can create the MIME as well. If it is PHP that is creating the emails, the change will need to occur in an application like PHP Mailer or SendMail or another type of application like the Laravel SMTP framework."
I am using Mailgun plugin and your suggested WP smtp plugin results the same problem
What should I do?
Hi @Zze,
That question is really specific for WordPress, in its forum you will probably find more information about how to configure other SMTP extensions to send the emails.
Please remember that Google Cloud Platform doesn't allow SMTP traffic through default ports: 25, 465, 587. To configure the application to use other third-party SMTP services for outgoing email, such as SendGrid or Mandrill, please check this guide
I am using the below code and despite multiple attempts the email is not being shown in "html" format but is always being showing as plain text format:
Properties props = new Properties();
Session session = null;
MimeMessage message = null;
//TODO: Retrieve this information from PRODPERTIES file
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "test domain");
props.setProperty("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
message = new MimeMessage(session);
// Set From: header field of the header.
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("email@example.com"));
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress("firstname.lastname@example.com"));
message.setText("<h1> test email </h1>", "utf-8", "html");
// Send message
Connection Closed by foreign host. [Blackmart](https://black-mart.net/)
Hi @angelina,
As I mentioned in my other post, this question is really specific to WordPress and how to configure it. I suggest you ask in the official forums of the application to get more information about it. In case there is any issue with our configuration, please let us know and we will work on improving it.

Popcaan Explains Gun Shooting Video That Went Viral
Popcaan Explains Gun Shooting Video That Went Viral
The 'Unruly Boss' Popcaan and his management team have cleared the air about a video that has since gone viral since its release, showing the entertainer at a gun range firing two guns in a wild playful manner.
In a statement released by the handlers of the 'Family' deejay, they are affirming that the shooting exercise seen in the video being done by Popcaan and his associates, were done in a safe and controlled environment.
According to the press release, the entertainer was at the Lower Trent Valley Fish and Game Club, in Ontario, Canada while he was on tour, when the video was recorded.
A licensed firearm holder in Canada, Nicholas Carino, also provided signed statement that the exercise was supervised by professionals.
Carino stated in his letter that "On Tuesday July 10th, myself (Nicholas Carino) and Kevin Anderson whom are both licensed firearms holders took our guest Popcaan (Andrae Sutherland) to target shoot at Lower Trent Valley Fish and Game Club. Kevin is a member of the Fish and Game Club."
Since the video was released, persons have been expressing mixed feelings towards the entertainers actions in the video, with some lobbying that Popcaan should be allowed to have fun and de-stress, while others have stated that he should not be glamorising the use of a deadly weapon, given the fact he is a very influential person to the youths.

I feel I am facing some big tribulations lately. Emotionally, work wise, personally, and spiritually. I searched for verses on Joy today and found some good ones, but then came across this and James 1:2. A good reminder that all this tough junk is for a purpose and I will learn and come out stronger. But it's still a hard lesson to go through. No matter what your tribulation is, always remember it's for a purpose yet, but never be ashamed to admit it's hard.

Today is father's day. I was blessed to have an amazing father in my life. One who taught me things, helped me do things, and loved me unconditionally. He continues to take care & provide for me and my boys even as I'm an adult. He is one of the world's greatest dad's and the world's best Pa-Poo.
I am even more blessed to have found my 2nd half in a man unlike many others in this day in age.
Man is one of the most hardworking caring hubbys father's their is. His love and devotion to his family is something not seen a lot this day in age. He constantly puts his needs and wants 2nd to his boys and me. He works harder each day then most men do in a month to make sure we are taken care of. He loves all of us for who we are no matter what.
I was blessed God crossed our paths & created us for each other as hubby & wife & even more blessed by the life and family we have been given.
In a world where most folks are sadly selfish, it's refreshing to have a man like Mam here who always thinks of others.
No words can really tell him or the world how I feel or how much he means to me, and he deserves all the gifts in the world, but I guess Family Day at Arrowhead stadium will have to do.
I've had some moments these last few days that have caused me to pray and think about actions and attitude that I take. I feel so much love in my heart but I'm not good at expressing it. I get easily stressed out by the small everyday tasks and the actions that I take do not reflect the gratitude I feel. I must work on that because besides having these two wonderful men in my life, I also serve the most wonderful father God. He too loves me unconditionally, loves me for who I am, and is constantly helping me grow.
I pray that Yaweh will help me learn to express my love and gratitude everyday and not just on Father's Day.
Happy Father Day Man and Dad.

There is just something about this verse that I LOVE! I think it shows a totally human side of Jesus. He didn't want to go thru the pain of crucifixion, but he did. He didn't want to die, but knew that was God's will and was willing. He really was human and experienced the same stuff we do and he truly does love us THAT much.

This week has been crap at work. My boss has been gone leaving me in charge at my busiest time of the month. That would be rough enough but then one of my leasing agents has called in "sick" for the last two days after she was already gone for 4 & 1/2! Not only that but she has completely disregarded my authority (what little I have) by ignoring my texts day one when I tell her she needs to come in as we are short staffed & day two when I try and ask what's up. I have gone thru so many emotions the last 48 hours from upset, calm, sad, angry, apathetic, dissapointed and so on. I am unsure how to feel about the situation, if I should even bother feeling about the situation, but mainly I'm confused on the lesson God is teaching me here. I know this stress and upset-ness I feel is for a purpose but I don't know what. I want to use it to my advantage but am unsure what this trial is producing. Hopefully the good Lord shows me soon.
And to any 20-27 yr Olds reading this. Remember you have to actually go to your job. You can't just come in when you feel like it. You don't use your PTO the minute you get it. When you have a job, people rely on you, and skipping out because your "tired" or "can't deal" makes the day harder for others. Not Cool.
Maybe some older folks could stand to remember that as well.
P.s random fact this verse was the 1st ever image I created on the bible app over a year ago!

Calvary is in the midst of an ambitious journey and a wider welcome to everyone to join us in our journey of faith. To offer the hospitality and a welcoming mission, we are making significant investments in the Church Building.
In year one, we made critical repairs by adding a new roof and reinforcing the building. In year two, we focused on a vastly more welcoming Sanctuary with the addition of air conditioning.
You are invited to support this effort, which includes:
- Restoring our historic building.
- Renovating the sanctuary.
- Extending a wider welcome to all who seek Christ.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is PayPal, and how is Calvary Presbyterian Church using it to enable online donations?"
It is a low-cost way for us to make it convenient to provide individuals who prefer to make their donations to the Church on line an option to do so.
Will the information I provide be kept private?
We take your privacy very seriously. When you make a donation, the Church receives an email with your name, the amount of your donation, your physical address and your email address. The addresses may be used to contact you if there are any questions about your donation. Calvary never shares your information with anyone else. For more information see PayPal's privacy policy.
How secure is online giving?
PayPal is a secure way to make a payment with your credit or debit card because this information is only processed on PayPal's secure system. The Church never sees or has access to your credit card or bank account information.
Does 100% of my gift go to Calvary Presbyterian Church?
When you use the online service provided by PayPal the Church pays a small fee for the convenience. With each donation, PayPal will take 2.9% plus $0.30 of that donation as a processing fee.
Is there any charge or fee to me for this service?
No. You select the dollar amount for your gift or payment. That is the dollar amount that will be charged and your entire donation is tax deductible. The Church pays a nominal fee to PayPal for the convenience and security of the service.
Do I have to have a PayPal account?
No. When you are sent to the Paypal page, look for the button that allows you to choose to use a major credit card (American Express, VISA, etc.) You can use this option without signing up for PayPal.
How can I keep track of my online giving/payments?
As with any pledge or donation, you will receive an annual giving statement from the Church which lists all donations you have given (online, by check or cash). If you have a PayPal account then you can also see a record of donations or payments by looking at your account history. All donations and payments using your credit card will show up on your credit card statement clearly marked "calvarypres."
Do I have to be a member of the Church to donate?
No. We are grateful for support from all who feel motivated to do so. PayPal does ask for your contact information, and we do not currently accept anonymous donations.
Can I make an online donation to Calvary to the general fund instead of the Capital Campaign?
At this time, we do not include other funds in our online payment options but welcome your support via cash or check to the Calvary Presbyterian Church.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. Calvary Presbyterian Church is a tax a exempt organization and is qualified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to receive contributions from donors. Since qualified churches are not subject to federal income tax, these donations are tax-free to the Church. Donors, in turn, may be able to deduct their contributions to Church on their income tax return.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the church office for assistance.

I remember the first time I heard about Fukuda Kanon. It was a running joke that Hello! Project had succeeded in cloning Kago Ai and the clone's name was, you guessed it, Fukuda Kanon. Since then, I've followed Kanyon from Shugo Chara Egg to indies S/mileage to 4-nin S/mileage to S/mileage 2.0. I love her the energy she brings to her performances-. I love her dedication to the idol life. Do I need to mention that I find her adorable? Probably not. Watch her in the Uchouten Love PV again. Then rewatch because you love her cute expressions! REPEAT!!
The news this week was Kanon's University acceptance (I don't think anyone knows where she is going to attend, just that she will be attending university). Oh, and that photobook that was just released.
I'm not in favor of exploitation, but I am in favor of fair business: this photobook should have happened long ago. Kanon's popularity as an idol would have certainly been helped by a couple of photobooks early in her idol life. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that I want super-smutty pictures of young girls flooding the market. A photobook doesn't need to be packed with photographs of young girls in compromising positions, just full of pretty photographs of the girls looking fantastic.
Well, enough of that. How about some previews?
You can order Fukuda Kanon "17" at CDJapan

Manager: Capt. Walter W. Lee
Title: Engineering Officer
Fleet: Minneapolis Fire Department
Operation: Fire and rescue fleet
One of any fire department's worst fears was realized when two fire trucks responding to a call collided in a Minneapolis intersection. Capt. Walt Lee says the fact that no one was injured was truly a miracle since none of the firefighters were wearing seatbelts and the emergency gear they kept close at hand turned into airborne when the vehicles crashed.
"One of our firefighters had his SCBA [air tank and mask] in its mounting bracket; it came out and flew from the back of the cab to the front and then back again," Lee said. "Another firefighter was thrown from the back seat into the front seat, then flipped into the back seat again by the force of the crash."
Lee felt one close call was one too many, so he and the fire shop foreman, Cam Haugland, decided to make subtle vehicle spec'ing changes that could help reshape firefighter behavior, ensuring that they fastened seatbelts and stowed their gear outside the cab. As part of this effort, Lee also looked at other ways of making the trucks safer for firefighters, focusing on injuries from improper hose connections, as well as slip-and-fall incidents.
Lee instituted a series of small but significant changes to the specs of new equipment.
The first was installation of enclosed storage compartments between the front and rear doors outside the cab, where the crew can stow boots, SCBA, helmets and other gear. Next he spec'd plenty of secure interior compartments. Any tools or equipment mounted inside the cab now use National Fire Protection Assn. (NFPA) compliant brackets.
"It's an uphill battle because the crews want to keep their gear with them, in the belief that it allows them to respond faster," Lee explains. "But the truck cab is simply no place for loose gear."
Bolted-on ladders for safe access to the top of the rig are now standard equipment on all pumpers, with handholds and extruded metal plates in place on top of the vehicle. "I don't like it when our firefighters get up there," says Lee. "But now if they have to go up, they'll be safe."
Other spec'ing tweaks include foot-pedal-activated sirens and lights, so drivers can keep both hands on the wheel. West Coast style rearview mirrors obstructed the driver's view when crossing an intersection, so they were replaced by sleeker designs that can not only be controlled remotely from inside the cab, but are also heated.
The pump panel is now color-coded, as are the hose outlets, so crews don't have to waste precious seconds figuring out which hose goes to which connection.
New seatbelt alarms — both audible and visual — are still a thorny issue. "Our crews didn't like them and they've found really creative ways to disable them," he says. "But that's what protects them in an accident."
Lee also switched to contrasting color seatbelts, making it easier for a truck's officer to verify that everyone is belted in." Lee says. "Change does not come easy and will not happen overnight. But we're not giving up."

"The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses." – Malcolm X.
The question that has fascinated me for quite some time now is this: Can you catch a liar? In a world defined by deception—as politics is—a liar has many avenues down which he can run. A liar is like water running through your hands. No matter how tightly you press your fingers together, water will always find a passage, and suddenly, your hands are empty. You did your best, but something so malleable cannot be easily contained.
Over the last several days, the big political news has been the newly released emails which suggest that the Obama administration directly and purposefully manipulated the post-Benghazi talking points. The emails also reveal that one of the top priorities of the manipulated talking pints was to protect president Obama from looking bad. Because, you know, when a disaster occurs, and Americans have died, the most important factor is image related. Of course, we already knew all this—or at least suspected it—but the confirmation is nice. Conservatives are calling the emails a smoking gun in the Benghazi investigation.
When the news first broke, I sat down, and imagined all the avenues the Democrats could take to spin the facts. I thought that they could deny the authenticity of the emails, or perhaps they would claim that protecting the president's image was necessary so that we would continue to look strong to our enemies. What I didn't imagine was that they would simply deny that the emails were Benghazi-related entirely, but that's exactly what they did.
According to Obama's mouthpiece Jay Carney:
"It was explicitly not about Benghazi…It was about the overall situation in the region, the Muslim world, where you saw protests outside of embassy facilities across the region, including in Cairo, Sana'a, Khartoum and Tunis."
Carney's assertion is obviously a fabrication, but that's not my focus. We are at war and information is our weapon. You cannot catch a liar, per se. No matter how damning the evidence was, Obama would never be the bad guy. Obama could confess to a crime on national television and it would be dismissed. So, if the Democrats are the roadrunner, and we are the coyote, what can we do?
The Democrats have their media, and we have ours. Everything comes down to point stacking. NBC says this, FOX says that. In the end, it is the hands of the American people that decide our fate. So what's to be done? We cannot catch a liar, but we can do our best to flood the airwaves with enough truth to slow him down. However, there is a point at which they reach saturation, and the media can no longer make gains. Once that has occurred, the baton is passed to us. If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: we are the new media.
There are a lot of people out there who know little to nothing about what's going on in this country. They are untouched by either media. These people are sitting ducks; they are being served up on a silver platter to the liberal media so that they may be brainwashed. We need to be vocal and, moreover, engaging. We have the facts and it's our responsibility to use them to educate those who would otherwise be turned to mush-head drones by the liberal propaganda machine.
Jay Carney and Obama are consummate liars. They will never be the ones under the anvil. The Democrats—see: liars—have control over most of the media, and conservatives have control over the rest. We, the people, are the closers. We are the ones who fill the gap between the saturation point of conservative media and the seemingly unending resources of the liberal machine.
In a game of points where one side has an unfair advantage, every player on the underdog team has to give it everything they've got if they want even a shot at victory. We are the underdogs, and it's time to give 100%. If we don't, we lose. It's that simple.

The Thornhill Volunteer Fire Department could use more volunteers at its satellite hall which serves the Lakelse Lake and Jackpine Flats areas, says chief Wes Patterson.
Without enough firefighters for more outlying areas, insurance companies could very well decide there's an increased risk factor and then raise rates.
That hasn't happened yet in the area, but it has happened in other parts of B.C., said Patterson.
"We're lucky that our tax base allows us the equipment we need and [the ability to] maintain it well and provide training but it's no good if we don't have volunteers," said Patterson.
The only other alternative would be to put paid firefighters at satellite halls but the call volume would not make the expense cost effective, he added.
The satellite hall covering Lakelse Lake and Jackpine Flats is one of two such halls, the other is at Gitaus east of Thornhill on Hwy16, serving as ancillary facilities to the department's main hall immediately adjacent to the Thornhill Community Grounds and the closed Thornhill Junior Secondary School.
Patterson said ideally he'd like 15 volunteer firefighters attached to each satellite hall.
Volunteers are always welcome and overall, the all-volunteer department, with the exception of Patterson and deputy chief Rick Boehm, has a good complement of volunteers.
Regular training days are on Thursdays but now there's also training on Mondays for those who can't make it Thursdays.
That training day option has helped retain volunteers, says deputy chief Rick Boehm.
Another aspect that has helped built up the force's volunteer contingent is its junior program for youth age 16 to 19.
"What that allows them to do is basically be part of the functioning department, excluding [live firefighting], so they can participate in training and live fire training but we will not send them to a burning building," said Boehm who was a cadet himself.
"It's a huge advantage if youths are dedicated, by the time they're 19, they can write their ticket and go into fire departments because we will provide the training," he added.
Aside from needing firefighters at the Lakelse Lake hall and a few more at its second satellite hall at Gitaus, the department is fairly well served, said Boehm.
About 10 per cent of the department is people older than 50, with the majority of the crew in the 35 to 50 age range.
"We haven't established a mandatory age [for retirement]," said Boehm, adding that older firefighters can still drive the truck or help with hoses.
The department will also take into account physical limitations, he said.
"Not everyone has got a good strong back, but they can do 80 per cent of the work," said Boehm.
The deputy chief also pointed to a camaraderie within the department that extends to offering emotional support when needed.
"You have to be in tune with every person to make the whole team work," said Boehm. "A lot of departments have a suck-it-up attitude and that's not what we do."
"I think if you can emotionally support and pick up the person and help them achieve that goal, they can hold their head high as opposed to struggling and feeling they can't get it done and that someone else has to finish it instead."
The Thornhill Volunteer Fire Department comes under the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District is financed through taxes. It also as an agreement with the Kitselas First Nation.

[01] SWEDEN - CYPRUS TALKSSwedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt has said that the outcome of the current negotiations on the Cyprus question will be the most important development during the next months.
Speaking during the annual conference «Debate on the state of the Union», held at the European Policy Centre in Brussels, Bildt, whose country will take over the EU Presidency as of July 1st, noted the challenges that the EU faces, among which, as he said, is the settlement of the Cyprus question.
Bildt said that it is a shame, twenty years after the fall of the Berlin wall one European capital, Nicosia, to remain divided.
The Swedish FM said that a possible success or failure in the outcome of the talks would have serious impacts on the Eastern Mediterranean region and on the EU NATO relations.
Bildt said he was convinced about the will of the leaders, Cyprus President Demetris Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat, to achieve an agreement, noting that if there is an agreement the EU must contribute to its implementation so that both communities will benefit from its financial gains.
When Cypriots are ready we will have to be ready too, he added, noting that no other opportunity must be lost, since the impacts of a possible failure will be long-term.
[02] DEFENCE MINISTER - SERBIADefence Minister Costas Papacostas has expressed satisfaction over his visit to Serbia, where he had talks with his Serbian counterpart, the countrys Foreign Minister and the Speaker of the Serbian parliament. He also visited the Medical and Military Academy and military industries with which Cyprus has already concluded contracts.
In statements at Larnaca airport after his arrival, Papacostas said that he signed with his Serbian counterpart an agreement on defence cooperation between the two countries. He noted that his visit was completely successful and that its goals and aims, which were the enhancement of the cooperation for the further tightening of the relations between the two countries, have been achieved.
He also said that he met with the Foreign Minister and the Speaker of the Serbian parliament and that they discussed bilateral and regional issues in depth.
I informed the Serbian officials about the current phase of the Cyprus question and President Christofias intention to reach a settlement of the Cyprus question, he said, adding that the Serbian officials expressed their full support to efforts for a Cyprus settlement on the basis of UN resolutions and the international law.
[03] CHRISTOFIAS - INNOVATIONPresident of the Republic of Cyprus Demetris Christofias said on Thursday that the initiatives the government has been taking over the past years have significantly raised Cyprus` performance in the European Innovation Scoreboard for 2008, noting that Cyprus, along with Finland, Ireland and Bulgaria, has recorded the highest progress among the EU member states.
He added that Cyprus` performance reached 0.471, slightly below the EU27 average of 0.475, and the country is now ranking 12th.
In a speech at a ceremony for the Cyprus Innovation Award, which was read out by Minister of Commerce, Industry and Tourism Antonis Paschalides, President Christofias noted that innovation has proven to be a decisive factor for business competitiveness, economic growth and social welfare in countries promoting research, creativity and technological advancement.
President Christofias noted that the government has planned a series of initiatives and measures with an aim to upgrade the institutional framework for the promotion of research and innovation, and has also decided to maintain the increased funds for research, as well as the utilisation of EU structural funds.
[04] CYPRUS - ESU BRANCHBritish High Commissioner Peter Millett announced the establishment of an English Speaking Union (ESU) branch in Cyprus.
Speaking during a press conference, Millet said he was a bit surprised that the establishment of a Cyprus branch has taken so long, given the importance of the use of English language on the island.
Noting that education is a really strong strand in the relationship between UK and Cyprus, the BHC pointed out that there are now more than 10.000 Cypriot students at British Universities.
He also said that this initiative creates international understanding and friendship through the use of the English language.
