The Vapengin Venus Pod Kit is keeping me company right now! Let's see what it has to offer!
Disposable vapes are becoming very divisive. A lot of people are concerned about the waste and the fact that only a small percentage of disposables are actually being recycled.
So is there another way?
How about a device which is a similar size to a disposable vape, but with replaceable pre-filled pods?
Could this be the answer?
As a brand I know very little about Vapengin – unfortunately a visit to their website does not provide me with any more information either. Here is what they say about themselves…
"Vapengin is a spaceship,
Likened to a box-shaped spaceship shuttling through the solar system among the universe of vape, Vapengin evolves with every destination it arrives.Elaborated flavors, crafted detailings, enhanced built tech… Nothing you wouldn't find in the uniqueness of every Vapengin vape – Vapengin 5500, Mars, Jupiter, Earth, Neptune, Mercury, Pluto…
With engineers behind the brand, we've created 9 Vapengin models so far and more is to come.Stay tuned with us. Cravings satisfied pleasurably."
Not only that, but the Venus pod kit is not even showing on their website, despite being for sale? So I can only tell you what I know from the packaging and the Vape Club website.
Talking of Vape Club I would like to thank them for sending the kit and 8 packs of pods over for review.
I will report back honestly on my experience with the device provided.
Plus of course flavours will always be a personal thing. So my aim is to concentrate on whether the flavours are a true representation and match the description.
Time to get stuck in!!
What Can We Expect From The Vapengin Venus Pod Kit…
This is targeted to those who like a disposable vape – for the simplicity and flavour.
The main device contains a 500mAh battery and features a USB Type C port for charging.
You will be using disposable pre-filled pods for this, simply remove and replace the pod when it is empty. Although the pods are a bit wasteful – this is still way more sustainable than disposing of an entire device with the battery and plastic body.
The pods come in twin packs of 2ml capacity pods in 9 flavours, I have all of these here to review…
- Banana Ice (included with device)
- Tropical Rainbow Sky
- Mr Bull
- Strawberry Watermelon
- Cherry Ice
- Blueberry Cherry Cranberry
- Peach Ice
- Watermelon Ice
- Cool Mint
There is only one strength option – 20mg Nicotine Salt and Vapengin promise each pod should give 600 puffs.
It is super easy to operate, with an auto draw system that activates when you inhale on the mouthpiece.
The device is made from clear plastic, the different pods are colour coded.
Kit Includes
- Vapengin Venus device
- 1 pod
Vapengin Venus Pod Kit Specs

- Battery: 500mAh (internal)
- Display: LED indicator
- E-liquid capacity: 2ml
- USB Type C port

- Draw activation

- 9 flavours to choose from

Design and Build Quality
This comes in a box with one pod of your choice included.
There are no instructions in with the device or replaceable pods?? This is not a great start.
I think of this kit as for complete newbies who are transitioning over from disposable vapes. They will need to know about charging, what the LED light represents etc.
The pod and device are both sealed in plastic packages, which is good to show the contents have not been tampered with and it will prevent any leaks escaping the box. But it does add to waste concerns. However considering how much less waste this kit will create compared to the equal number of disposable vapes – I can let Vapengin off for this!
On the front of the box you will see the flavour of the pod included in the kit and the applicable warnings.
On the rear of the box you will find the full ingredients listed, specifications, company contact details, verification (authenticity sticker) and further warnings.
Scratch off the verification panel and type the number into this page https://www.vapengin.com/verifysn to verify if the product is authentic. Or if using a mobile you can scan the QR code which will take you to the page and automatically input the code number.
I am pleased to see the addition of batch number and expiry date, which always proves that a company has serious quality control and traceability systems in place.
Vapengin Venus Mod
This is mainly a transparent plastic shell!
On top of the shell are the Vapengin and some other logos printed in a holographic mirror finish print. This changes colour according to the angle of the light and I think it looks futuristic and adds some character. You can also see the battery which has the "Venus" text written on.
At the base of the device is a Chrome mirror finished cap which is super shiny and really adds to the look of the mod.
On the base you will find the USB Type C port and the LED indicator.
This indicator also shines through into the pod compartment so basically it looks like the whole device lights up – which I think looks amazing.
The pod compartment has an asymmetric shape so the pod can only be installed one way around which makes life a lot easier.
The pod is held into the mod securely with magnets, you can install the pod almost 3/4 in and the magnet will pull it fully inside.
You will see 2 spring loaded contacts and the airflow inlets inside the pod compartment. This is quite a deep compartment so it would need Cotton Buds or similar if you wanted to clean the contacts.
It is a super clean and sleek design – which I really do like!
The pods come in packs of two – which have the same plastic wrapper as the mod.
You will find the flavour name, number of puffs and applicable warnings on the pod box.
On the rear of the box are the full ingredients, specifications, company contact details, verification sticker, batch number, expiry date and further warnings.
The pods have a clear plastic body with a coloured layer inside. This layer has the pod flavour and various graphics printed on. It is also colour coded to the flavour.
As the device is completely transparent, the colour of the pod is the main colour point you will see.
At the top of the pod is the slightly square "Duck Bill" mouthpiece which is super comfortable to use.
The base of the pod is like a Black plastic cap which is fitted to the clear outer shell.
Here you will find 2 electrical contacts / magnets and the airflow inlets.
Quick Start Guide
The device arrives with the pod and device wrapped separately.
Before use you will need to remove the isolator sticker from the pod base and the plug from the mouthpiece.
Then it is time to charge up and get stuck in!
Basic Operation
- Power On/Off: there is no on or off function.
- Vaping: inhale on the mouthpiece and the device will fire automatically.
- Battery indicator: It lights up Blue when vaping and will flash when the battery is empty. It will stop working until it has been recharged.
- Charging status: The LED will stay on when charging and turn off when fully charged.
I have no idea if there are any protections on here as there are no instructions at all!
How To Charge The Battery
- Insert the small end of a USB Type C cable into the charge port of the device.
- Insert the large end of the cable into a suitable USB outlet.
- Leave to charge. The LED indicator will light up when charging and turn off when fully charged.
I found it took 1.5 hours to charge – which is a bit excessive?
How To Replace the Pod
- Remove the pod if one is installed.
- Unpack and remove the isolator sticker and mouthpiece plug from the new pod.
- Insert the pod into the mod – it will only align one way around.
- Start vaping!
Vapengin Venus Pod Kit Performance
I was given 9 pod flavours for review.
Banana Ice
Vape Club Say:
"The Banana Ice Vapengin Venus prefilled pod pairs the slightly creamy taste of Banana with a cool blast of ice on exhale."
I Say:
This is a very tasty generic candy style Banana flavour.
It is in the same vein as the yummy Foam Banana sweets!
You also get a hefty blast of ice here, which is to kind of be expected – hence the name! But it is a bit harsh on the old lungs as you inhale. After about 3 inhales I needed a warm drink!
So if you love the sweets pictured above and enjoy a super icy vape – this flavour will make you very happy.
For me – the flavour is 10/10 but the cooling is slightly too overpowering.
Tropical Rainbow Sky
Vape Club Say:
"The Tropical Rainbow Sky Vapengin Venus prefilled pod features a fruity candy flavour, delivering exotic and sugary notes throughout for a sweet vape."
I Say:
This one is a bit vague when it comes to the flavour description so I will just report back on what I can taste!
There is a light Melon which thankfully is not earthy, then I can taste a sweet Pineapple. I think there are some Red berries in here, possibly a Strawberry? Whatever it is it brings a happy zing of sweetness. There is a slight tang which may be a smidge of Lemon or Lime?
Basically as you can tell from my struggle to describe the flavours, this is quite a medley which is blended that well that there is no one flavour profile becoming dominant.
Also the cooling used here is much more in proportion, you are not aware of it straight away, it takes longer to kick in.
It is very yummy and I could vape this all day long!
Mr Bull
Vape Club Say:
"The Mr. Bull Vapengin Venus pre-filled pod authentically captures the taste of popular energy drinks by pairing tangy mixed fruit notes with a fizzy soda finish."
I Say:
This very much reminds me of my favourite high VG e-liquid – the Ruthless Energy Drank – which is designed on the same flavour profile!
This is slightly tangier than the Ruthless version and doesn't have the smooth syrupy quality, but this only has 50% VG compared to the 70% used in the Ruthless.
You do get a blast of cooling on the inhale, it is slightly too strong but not as bad as some of the flavours in the Venus range.
After exhaling a slight tingle on your tongue represents the fizzy aspect which does work!
I would say this is pretty spot on flavour wise and definitely reminds you of the energy drink it is based upon!
Strawberry Watermelon
Vape Club Say:
"The Strawberry Watermelon Vapengin Venus prefilled pod features a fruity fusion that complements the sweetness of Strawberry with the juicy taste of Watermelon."
I Say:
Wow this is blummin cold! The inhale takes your breath away in an icy fashion!
To follow you get a sweet but still quite earthy Watermelon flavour which is being given a massive hug by a Strawberry!
Although this has quite a Candy style there is some tang in there too.
I am left with a strange aftertaste though, but I avoid Watermelon vapes as much as I can so I am not sure if this is a usual thing?
As for whether it fits the description – I would say so. But the ice is slightly overpowering and I could feel the chill right down into my lungs, which got a bit uncomfortable after about 5 or 6 vapes.
I would rate this highly for flavour but it could do with the cooling being toned down a bit.
Cherry Ice
Vape Club Say:
"The Cherry Ice Vapengin Venus prefilled pod cools down the sweet yet tart taste of dark Cherry with a frosty finish."
I Say:
I do love a Cherry vape!
This is quite synthetic and there is a very floral perfumey note – with a hint of Cherry? It reminds me of Cherry Lips mixed with Floral Gums sweets.
I wasn't a fan initially, however I chose to use this flavour for my endurance test and it really grew on me!
It is not the usual Cherry flavour you would expect and it has quite a lot of cooling, but I found it grew to be quite delicious after a while.
The fact the Cherry has more of a floral aromatic note means that it does not become sickly sweet when vaping repeatedly.
I did find a tiny but odd earthy background on the exhale which slightly put me off, but the flavour left on your tongue afterwards is delicious.
Whilst being an unusual take on the flavour profile, it somehow works – I really did not expect it to!
Blueberry Cherry Cranberry
Vape Club Say:
"The Blueberry Cherry Cranberry Vapengin Venus prefilled pod features a layered fruit flavour, balancing the sweetness of Blueberry with tart Cherry and the unique tang of Cranberry."
I Say:
There is a huge dose of flavour to this one!
Also the cooling is not as strong as other flavours in the range.
The clever thing about this pod is that the various fruits all jump up and down at different times and you get little surprises popping up whilst inhaling and exhaling!
This is a slightly tangier vape but there are still some sweet elements which appear.
However here and there you do get a slight "Ammonia" back note – which could be attributed to the style of Blueberry concentrate being used. This doesn't happen every time, as the fruits seem to rotate in prominence.
All of the fruits in the description are present and correct and take their turn in being dominant. As the description states, this is a layered experience and it works OK apart from the occasional Ammonia waft which is a bit unpleasant.
Peach Ice
Vape Club Say:
"The Peach Ice Vapengin Venus prefilled pod takes the sweet, juicy taste of Peach and cools it down on exhale with a chilly burst of ice."
I Say:
This is really Peachy and sweet.
Have you even eaten a can of Peaches? If so do you remember the flavour of the syrup the Peaches live in? If so that is the exact flavour you get from this!
Despite being sweet there are also some earthy tones which make this more realistic. Just like the tinned version!
There is a decent balance of cooling here, despite there being "Ice" in the name, I am not finding the blast as uncomfortable as some of the other flavours.
This for me works perfectly and should keep those who want fresh realistic fruit and candy / sweet fruit very happy!
Watermelon Ice
Vape Club Say:
"The Watermelon Ice Vapengin Venus prefilled pod chills the sweet and juicy taste of Watermelon with an arctic layer of ice on exhale."
I Say:
This is definitely a true representation of the flavour profile description!
The flavour is not quite as punchy as the rest of the range.
It is a sweeter rendition of Watermelon but still has some of the earthy qualities in the background.
This is another cold one, which might be numbing my taste buds a bit as the flavour seems a lot quieter than some of the others I have tried from Vapengin.
Overall though it should keep most Watermelon enthusiasts reasonably happy – it just could do with the flavour ramping up and the cooling toning down.
Cool Mint
Vape Club Say:
"The Cool Mint Vapengin Venus prefilled pod features the fresh-tasting and botanical notes of mint from inhale to exhale."
I Say:
Well this is cool and very minty!
It is not so much of a Menthol style vape, as there is no Eucalyptus taste, it is more like a mint sweet. It reminds me of Mint Imperials a lot.
If you want a device to replicate the flavour of a Menthol cigarette, this is not quite there.
But you do get the icy cold sensation which is followed by a strong refreshing minty flavour and a great throat hit! It does exactly what it says in the description!
This is a good MTL (Mouth To Lung) inhale, on a scale of 0-10 (0= fully closed and 10 = like breathing fresh air) I would rate the resistance around 2 to 3. You can manage a restricted direct lung (RDL) on here but the MTL resistance is perfect.
Not a single dribble!
I am also pleased to report that none of the pods leaked in their packaging in transit either.
This worked an absolute treat, no issues at all to report! The auto fire was super quick and did not falter at all!
Also the amount of vapour from a low power disposable was very satisfying!
Battery / Pod Life
Obviously this will vary according to your own vape habits.
Puff counts are always a bit of a Grey area. How long is a puff? I tend to take the puff count promises as a guide as I have never achieved 600 puffs from 2ml of e-liquid or a 600 puff disposable vape!
However with previous 2ml devices I usually average from 200 to 300 puffs – I generally take 2 to 3 second inhales. So if this is below 200 or above 300 – it is worthy of note.
In comparison I got 413 puffs from a single pod with the Vapengin Venus. Which is well above my average – well done Vapengin!
Battery wise I got 323 puffs before the battery conked out and needed charging.
- Less waste and expense compared to standard disposables
- A twin pack of pods is a similar price to a single disposable vape, yet double the puff count
- Device worked perfectly every single time
- No leaks
- Love the LED effect through the body
- Clean modern styling
- Simple to use – would be better if there were instructions!!
- Perfect MTL airflow restriction
- Great amount of vapour which was a surprise!
- Excellent battery life – over 300 puffs between charges!
- Above average puff count per pod for me
- No instructions – which is a bit unforgivable considering the market they are targeting
- Some of the pods have very harsh cooling
- Slow charging – 1.5 hours
Final Review Verdict
This is a great little disposable vape alternative!
You are saving a fortune as two pods are a similar price to one single 600 puff disposable vape.
Even better than that there is less battery waste as you are only disposing of the pod component when it is empty. You keep and reuse the battery. So it is win / win for me!
I found the device worked perfectly, there were no leaks and it was simple to use.
But Vapengin really need to think of the people they are marketing this kit to. These will generally be people who have used simple disposable vapes or are total vape newbies. Therefore instructions on charging, LED indicator status and just what each component is, do really need to be included. There are not even any instructions on their website that you could download? Naughty Vapengin.
In general the flavours were great and gave a disposable vape style of sensation. Some do need a bit of tweaking though.
At times the cooling was a bit overpowering and made me feel like I was taking a deep breath on a very icy day. Which after a few inhales made my chest a bit uncomfortable. This may be down to me being a total lightweight in the cooling department as I don't usually use icy e-liquids?
Have you tried the Vapengin Venus Pod Kit? If so let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

French, 1700 - 1759
In spite of the efforts by Louis Dimier over a century ago to identify this very little-known painter and decorator, Christophe Huet is still sometimes confused with other members of his family who were artists. Dimier distinguished between Christophe Huet and his brother Nicolas (1770-1830), a painter of flowers and fruit, who was known as Huet Le Jeune. Nicolas' son, the painter and engraver Jean Baptiste Huet I (1745-1811), has likewise been confused with his uncle, since both artists produced images of animal subjects. Christophe, if quickly forgotten after his death, was the most successful artist of the family, and he enjoyed a solid reputation in his own day. Moreover, within his twin areas of specialization, decorative and animal painting, he was one of the most prominent artists of his generation. He found patrons in the highest levels of society, including the duchesse du Maine (1676-1753) and the marquise de Pompadour (1721-1764), who owned several of his animal paintings and for whom Huet painted a salon chinois at the Château de Champs.
Although Huet is best known today for his chinoiserie and singerie, it is likely he received his early training from one of two animal painters, Jean Baptiste Oudry (1686-1755) or François Desportes (1661-1743). In 1753 a critic linked Huet to Oudry, but there is more evidence to suggest that Huet's master was Desportes. The work of Desportes was well represented in Huet's collection, as Roger-Armand Weigert in 1952 showed from the inventory drawn up after the artist's death. On several occasions Desportes collaborated with the decorator Claude III Audran (1658-1734), including at the menagerie of Versailles, where Huet later went to draw animals from life. If Desportes was responsible for Huet's artistic formation, so, too, was Audran, alongside whom Huet worked at the château d'Anet. More important, as one of the first artists of eighteenth-century France to develop a form of decorative painting in which monkeys performed human activities, Audran was a primary reference point when Huet was inventing his Singeries, ou, Différentes actions de la vie humaine représentées par les singes, published in 1741 by the engraver Jean Guélard (active 1710-1730).
To judge from the number of Huet's submissions to the Salons of the Académie de Saint Luc in 1751, 1752, and 1756, his reputation as an animal painter must have been considerable. In 1756, only three years before his death, the artist presented twelve animal pictures, many of which were recorded as belonging to unnamed members of the aristocracy. Huet executed the pictorial decoration in a number of eighteenth-century townhouses in Paris and châteaux in the surrounding area, but the chronology of many of his works has yet to be established. The chinoiseries at the Château de Champs consist of single Chinese figures, scenes of hunting and game playing, and light arabesque ornamentation formed of shells and palms. In the salon of the Hôtel de Rohan, where Huet integrated Chinese pastoral scenes with animals, medallions, and floral decoration, he reached a particularly high level of inventiveness. Following closely upon the heels of Huet's collaboration at the château d'Anet with Claude III Audran in 1733, he worked at the Château de Chantilly painting oriental landscapes and animals in the grand salon.
The majority of Huet's activity was decorative and animal painting, but the inventory of his possessions indicates that he also worked as a portraitist. The three portraits recorded-one of each of his parents and a third of himself in the guise of a hunter-may indicate that he produced these objects for his personal pleasure.

Do you know you can lose everything you have worked for if you don't have home insurance? With the insurance cover, you seek to secure your property and, in this case, a home. Choosing the right insurance for your home is vital, like coop homeowners insurance policy. When choosing an insurance policy, seek the best rate and security and cover all your needs at an affordable price. Besides, most homeowners' houses are one of the largest assets for keeping all their valuables. Unfortunately, it is hard to figure out the best policy considering many in the market. The good news is that key things will guide you in identifying the best home insurance coverage that every homeowner should consider. Continue reading to know vital factors that you should look for in an insurance cover for your home.
Customer Service
The reputation of the insurer regarding service and handling of the claims is a crucial thing to have in mind. Besides, insurance is a financial product you depend on during a crisis as a homeowner. For example, if your house gets burned down or damaged, you would never want to fight with your insurance company. Instead, you would love a smooth damage claim that will pay promptly. As a homeowner, you can understand this scope by reading online reviews from other homeowners who have had an encounter with the insurance company of your choice. This will be helpful as it helps determine how a company treats its customers.
When choosing a home insurance company, price is a crucial thing to have in mind because, as a policyholder, you have to pay the homeowner insurance premiums for all the periods your house is covered. This depicts that you have to subscribe to pay for your house to a certain company for as long as the house is covered.
You should compare prices from different home insurance companies to ensure you get a fair one. Seek periodic quotes from different insurers to know whether there is a better deal in the market. While at it, always opt for an affordable deal that will cover your current property. However, for a homeowner, you should not base your insurance buying on price alone because other things also matter. But its affordability is the major goal since even a small difference will add up over time.
Coverage Options
As a homeowner, ensure to get the best and most comprehensive option you need. Many insurance companies provide basic types of coverage like personal property protection and dwelling coverage. However, some insurers like coop homeowners insurance offer unique options at affordable rates. For instance, these insurers will have your home fully updated upon getting damaged, which means an extra upgrade instead of just correcting the initial version. Ensure to understand the type of coverage you need and get the insurer that offers it.
With proper research on coverage options, price, customer service, and claims handling, you will get good home insurance coverage that will satisfy your needs. You only need to be wise and patient when deciding on the best homeowner insurance that will give value for your money.

Ukrainian air defense system, while trying to intercept a Russian missile, hit an apartment building again
In Zaporozhye, a five-story residential building was destroyed. Apparently, the Ukrainian air defense system, while trying to intercept a Russian missile, again hit an apartment building, just as it did earlier in Dnepropetrovsk.
The Ukrainian media are reporting on the consequences of the incident.
They report that rescue work is being carried out on the ruins of the house. Also, heating points are organized for its residents, as the temperature below zero degrees is recorded on the street.
The incident happened last night at about three o'clock. Presumably, the rocket demolished part of the house, three floors out of five were damaged. There may still be people under the rubble, so rescuers have to work very carefully. There is no information about the dead yet. According to some reports, 20 people were injured.
Explosions were recorded that night in other parts of the Zaporozhye region.
From the very beginning of the special operation, reports about strikes on Zaporizhzhya objects have been received from the local administration and residents. According to the opinion of Russian expert Boris Rozhin, which he expressed earlier, this should not be surprising, especially given the presence of weapons of destruction of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in urban areas. In particular, HIMARS MLRS were seen in urban areas.
Unfortunately, today's case of a Russian missile being shot down by a Ukrainian air defense system on a residential apartment building was not the only one. In particular, a similar incident occurred in January in Dnepropetrovsk. The fact that the cause of the destruction of the house there was the work of the air defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was publicly admitted by the former adviser to the head of the Zelensky Office, Aleksey Arestovich, who soon after lost his post.

News, Reviews, Headlines for the world of Tennis (tennis news)
Beijing holds a Wild card for Djokovic30-10-2018 |
Novak Djokovic is likely to get a wild card for the Beijing tournament, which can help him return to No. 1 in the world rankings, according to Tennis Channel.
The current leader Rafael Nadal has 8, 760 and will not play in Beijing, where he became champion last year, and Shanghai, where he played the final. The Spaniard will lose 1, 100 points.
At the moment, Djokovic is No. 3 with 6, 445 points, of which until the end of the season he will not defend one. The Serb may return to the top if it wins another 1, 215 points, and a triumph in Beijing and Shanghai equals 1, 500 pts.
It is certain that the organizers of the Beijing tournament are watching the Dakovich Wild Card, which after the success of the Laver Cup has returned to Belgrade and has not yet decided whether to include in its China Open program. However, Nole had a very heavy hard-hitting season so far in winning its 14th Grand Slam title. The tennis player also expressed a desire to relax.
The ATP500 tournament in Vienna has also kept a wild card for a Serb.
By the finals in London World No. 2 Roger Federer could not increase his asset by 6, 900 points. The only chance in London is to qualify for the final.

What's happening this month?
February 2021
Good morning!
I hope you're doing well, especially if you're in lockdown like we are in the UK.
Did anyone else do Dry January? To be honest, I can't believe I actually did it, but I've got some lockdown weight to shift this year ready for when we can actually go on holidays again! I'm crossing my fingers it'll be in the summer.
So, the cover for The Secrets of Meadow Farmhouse was released last month and tomorrow there's another exciting announcement for all you book reviewers! I think you probably all know what it is but I'm going to tease you anyway.
What else have I got to tell you? I'm currently 60k words into the second book in the Meadowbank Series. I'm really enjoying writing this one and have worked slightly differently on it, not plotting quite so much (I still plotted but this time I haven't got a spreadsheet! *gasp!*) and really seeing where the story takes me. It's been fun. It's set in a library and has a bookish main character, Elsie, and a charming hero who happens to want to knock the library down!
I'll share links and things as soon as I can. And after that I need to crack on with editing Sleuthing Club book two or writing the Meadowbank Christmas book! Eeek!
Until then though, lovely friends, stay safe and well through February, and I'll be in touch again soon.
Lots of love,
The Secrets of Meadowbank

The last of our theme park days for this trip and the year.
First of all I swapped messages with Neil who had arrived back in the UK safely and was making his way straight to Carrow Road for the match.
Today we were going to Magic Kingdom with just Barry. We were all in the car and driving to the park at 7.45am.
Parking was a doddle, well it was was eventually. At the last moment at the parking booths I decided to switch lanes and accidentally and very slightly clipped one of the bollards. The attendant from the adjoining booth shouted and ran across with a hand across his mouth as though I had run over a small child. Barry who was in the front passenger seat, nor I could really work out what the fuss was about. Indeed nor could the attendant we were paying. Never mind, it make us smile afterwards. Because we were early we secured a spot close enough to the Ticketing & Transportation Centre that meant we didn't need to wait for a tram. Barry's choice was that we then took the monorail to the actual park entrance and we were fortunate to get onto the next available one.
We were soon through the gates. I still love the use of the magic bands and think we have them for everything in life.
Main Street was open for people to wander and gather but none of the lands/rides.
We had chosen today to visit as not only did it fit in with the rest of our schedule but was scheduled to be the least busy of the days we had available. However it was still set to be a 6/10 day which is not good. This was because it was a Saturday and just two days before Veterans Day meaning many people had a long weekend off. Already the park felt busy. It was due to be open from 9am - 11pm with then a further 2 hours exclusive for hotel guests until 1am.
At 8.55am the lands opened. We were waiting at the nearest point to Fantasyland to get straight in the queue for the Mine Train. We joined the hundreds of other people waiting with the same plan. It was about a 50 minute wait before we rode it. The queue however was more than double that though for the rest of the day. We all enjoyed the ride and were glad we had done it.
Our fast pass on Splash Mountain was then available so we walked across the park to ride it. As there were 3 of us, Barry rode alone at the front of the vehicle. Karen & I cowered behind to hopefully avoid too much of the 'splash'. It was as ever really good fun and we only got splashed and not drenched.
Barry decided we should ride Jungle Cruise next, renamed as Jingle Cruise for the Holiday season. However by now the whole park was rammed full of people and the queue for this and other rides were getting ridiculous. However the queue for Pirates of the Caribbean wasn't so bad at 25 minutes so we double backed to that. It also had the advantage of all the queuing area being undercover.
Whilst in the queue I checked my phone and to my delight found not only was the Wifi working in the 'caverns' of the queue but it was only strong enough to Live Stream the match from Carrow Road. So the wait time passed very quickly as we watched the action. It did seem surreal being able to do that and I mused how many other people had watched Norwich play live whilst waiting for this ride. The score at this point was still 0 - 0.
This is another magical ride and is so well done. Nevertheless we didn't hang around when we had finished and went off to watch the showing of Hall of Presidents.
As usual lots of people ignored the instruction of moving all the way to the end of the row to take their seats and instead plonked themselves down in the middle. This happened on the row we selected. So rather than leave a gap, Barry led the way in pushing our way past them. I have trained my family well. When we got to the vacant seats we compared the number of feet we had 'deliberately' stood on to make our point. Karen also kept repeating to people as she walked through ' Sorry - but it would have been easier if you had done what was asked and moved along'. My personal victory was with one ladies flip flop that she had taken off. I may have accidentally kicked it first along our row and then forward another the one in front. Petty, I know, but quite satisfying. As Disney does repeatedly tell you, all the seats have great views and we were very happy at the very end of the row. People think they know better and don't care how it impacts others trying to get in.
The show was an updated one and we were treated to a double thumbs up at the end from the robotic Donald, which amused Barry & I immensely.
We then went and used our fast pass for Space Mountain. This ride always fills me with some apprehension as much for the hassle of getting in/out of the ride as much as anything. Today I had no problem and enjoyed the ride which seemed much longer and more twisty than I recalled.
Barry & I then decided to ride the Carousel of Progress which is always a welcome break from the blistering heat. Karen decided to sit it this one out and went to purchase a coffee. This ride needs updating, in particular the 'now' scene. We had reached the second scene when some parents allowed their 2 children to climb and sit on the edge of the stage. This caused the theatre to break down. We then had to wait whilst they reset it all and we had to sit through the whole scene again from the beginning. During this time we tried on our phones to get the score updates from Carrow Road, but the Wifi didn't stretch into the actual ride itself.
As we were about to exit the ride, Barry tried again and got the score flashes. It had been 1-1 as we had entered. We cheered when the message came through we were winning 2-1. Immediately we got the update that it was now 2-2, followed by 2-3, 3-3, and finally 4-3. It must have been thrilling to have been at the match but it was also very exciting getting all those updates one by one in order within a few seconds. Cheered enormously by this we walked out to find Karen. Top of the League at the Magic Kingdom! - Fancy that.
It was then Dole Whip time which Barry queued up for whilst Karen opted for the pineapple upside down cake with Dole Whip.
The time for the fast pass for the ride that Karen & I enjoy the most then arrived. Big Thunder Mountain. It was a hooting hollering ride of fun. At the highest point of the ride we even stopped for a moment which gave us lovely views over the park.
By now it was very hot and the walkways were so full it was difficult to walk anywhere. It also didn't help that they were filming all day a TV Christmas show in front of the castle with some 'big' stars. The only person we saw as we walked by all day that we had actually heard of was Meghan Trainor, but we may have missed others. Anyhow we then decided to return to the Villa for some respite from the heat and crowds.
It was a lovely chilled time sitting outside. Karen & I decided we didn't fancy Theme Park food again tonight, so we thought we would try a Takeaway from Outback. I had the usual Steak whilst Karen had chicken. They were both delicious and it was wonderful eating it by the pool.
At 6pm we headed back to MK. This time our allocated spot was almost at the back of the parking lot so we had no option but to get the tram. Once again we rode the monorail and once again we were amazed by the number of people still going into the park.
The park look lovely with all the Christmas Decorations switched on and twinkling in the dark. We were horrified by the wait times for rides though. Barry had been keen to ride the Peoplemover and fortunately there was only a 20 minute wait until we rode it. We then went to Cosmic Rays for Barry to have a meal which he seemed to enjoy. We had managed to book another fast pass for Jingle Cruise and so went to ride that next. It was good, much better than when we rode it as plain Jungle Cruise in May but I still think they could have made much more of the Christmas theme. I think Barry would make a good skipper of one of these boats if he ever wanted a career change.
It was then almost time for the Happy Ever After firework show, but there was never a chance for us to watch it from Main Street as it was absolutely crammed full of people some of whom had been in position for 2 hours beforehand. Instead we decided to watch it from Fantasyland. This would not have met with Neils approval as we could not see the light show. However the position more than made up for it by allowing us to be right in the middle of the firework display. They were going up from both sides right over our heads. It was amazing and so so loud. I know Karen would have preferred to see the light show but I think this was a good compromise.
The queue for The Haunted Mansion had by now come down to 15 minutes and as it was the last on Barrys must do list we walked off to do that. I must admit I really enjoyed it again. Each time I seem to notice details that I have never seen before.
It was now getting late and both Karen & I were getting weary so we agreed to do one more ride. We chose the one with the shortest queue which was The Little Mermaid which was fun but whimsical. I know Barry would have been happy to carry on longer but at that point we made our way out of the park with the masses. We had a queue for the Ferryboat and then another for the parking tram. It was just before midnight that we got back to the villa.
Another tiring but really good day.

Microbes create medicines, filter waste water, and clean pollution. They give cheese funky flavors, wines complex aromas, and bread a nutty crumb. Life at the Edge of Sight is a stunning visual exploration of the inhabitants of an invisible world, from the pioneering findings of a seventeenth-century visionary to magnificent close-ups of the inner workings and cooperative communities of Earth's most prolific organisms.
Using cutting-edge imaging technologies, Scott Chimileski and Roberto Kolter lead readers through breakthroughs and unresolved questions scientists hope microbes will answer soon. They explain how microbial studies have clarified the origins of life on Earth, guided thinking about possible life on other planets, unlocked evolutionary mechanisms, and helped explain the functioning of complex ecosystems. Microbes have been harnessed to increase crop yields and promote human health.
But equally impressive, Life at the Edge of Sight opens a beautiful new frontier for readers to explore through words and images. We learn that there is more microbial biodiversity on a single frond of duckweed floating in a Delft canal than the diversity of plants and animals that biologists find in tropical rainforests. Colonies with millions of microbes can produce an array of pigments that put an artist's palette to shame. The microbial world is ancient and ever-changing, buried in fossils and driven by cellular reactions operating in quadrillionths of a second. All other organisms have evolved within this universe of microbes, yielding intricate beneficial symbioses. With two experts as guides, the invisible microbial world awaits in plain sight.
From the microbial mats at Grand Prismatic Spring in Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park to yeasts, bacteria, and diatoms, the realm of minute life—the foundation of the planetary ecosystem—is ceaselessly compelling. Microbiologists Scott Chimileski and Roberto Kolter explore it by meshing sumptuous images with sharp text. Their swirling narrative segues through deep time; lingers on slime molds, tardigrades ('water bears'), rotifers and the microbes driving fermentation; and speculates enticingly on extraterrestrial microbiota.
This is a most lovely and profound book about microbes. It is a paean to nature, and to the irrepressible curiosity of those who have explored the obscure byways of our world. Both scholars and armchair enthusiasts will enjoy the journey!
Life at the Edge of Sight offers an inspired journey into microbiology, biodiversity, symbiosis, evolution, and the origin of life, guided by an eminent scientist and an extraordinary photographer.
Chimileski and Kolter's wonderful book tells stories of microbial discovery. It beautifully illustrates the microscopic organisms that have shaped our world.
Through stories that are both entertaining and scholarly, this delightful book celebrates the wonders and grand reach of the microbial world. The photography is stunning, and will leave any reader—expert or novice—with a sense of awe.
This lavishly illustrated celebration [of microbes] takes in everything from antibiotics, fungi and 'intelligent slime' to the rich environment 'on the kitchen counter,' while also tracing the stories of the leading scientists who revealed this extraordinary world. Microbes will never be the same again.
[Kolter and Chimileski] offer an appreciation of microorganisms that is both scientific and artistic, and that gives a glimpse of the cellular wonders that are literally underfoot.
- Scott Chimileski is a science photographer, imaging specialist, and Research Scientist in the Bay Paul Center at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
- Roberto Kolter is a Professor at Harvard Medical School and Co-Director of Harvard's Microbial Sciences Initiative. He is also co-blogger at Small Things Considered.
- Elio Schaechter is Distinguished Professor of Molecular Biology and Microbiology, Emeritus, at Tufts University School of Medicine. He is the coauthor of Mechanisms of Microbial Disease and Physiology of the Bacterial Cell.

Troy soccer coach Robert Lane resigns
Published 12:20 pm Monday, October 31, 2022
Troy University soccer coach Robert Lane resigned from his position on Monday, Oct. 31, following the completion of his first season at the helm.
According to a release from the university, Lane is stepping away from college soccer "due to family considerations."
"I want to thank (Troy Chancellor) Dr. Jack Hawkins and (Athletic Director) Brent Jones for the opportunity to coach at Troy University," Lane said in a statement. "My experience as the head coach has been both rewarding and fulfilling for me professionally.
"The future of the Troy University Athletics Department is bright based on leadership and personnel, and I look forward to seeing the many accomplishments and milestones reached by my colleagues. The Troy soccer program and our players will forever hold a special place in my heart. However, it is time for me to chart a different path outside college athletics as I return home to be with my family. Their support from afar has been incredible, and I look forward to being more present with Neeley and our girls as we turn to whatever life has in store for us."
Lane's Trojans completed the 2022 season last week with a loss to James Madison, resulting in the squad missing out on the Sun Belt Conference Tournament. Troy finished with a 3-9-4 record in 2022.
Lane became Troy's head coach after three years as an assistant coach at the University of Georgia and four years as head coach at Montevallo. Lane has also spent time as an assistant at Charlotte and Georgia Southern, along with serving as head coach at Belmont Abbey. He also was the head coach of the Coker College men's team.
According to the release, the school will immediately begin a national search for Lane's replacement.

Scalable Cities are proud to announce the publication of the paper: "Digitalization in Urban Energy Systems. Outlook 2025, 2030 and 2040."
Digitalization is defined as the transformation of a business or industry by using digital technologies to improve its processes. Digital tools can help to integrate and analyse data, underpin more effective and sustainable policymaking and urban planning, provide information and insights, and create benefits for citizens. Specially for urban dense areas, digitalisation can assist to reduce resource demand and improve flexibility to respond to changes.
Digitalisation can improve cities' liveability in multiple domains, such as security in streets (e.g. cameras or smart surveillance systems), healthcare and wellbeing (with telemedicine, real-time air quality monitoring, etc.), economic development and housing (e.g. peer-to-peer accommodation platforms), engagement and community (e.g. local connection platforms), and the management and operation of mobility (e.g. smart traffic signals), water (e.g. leakage detection), waste (e.g. optimization of waste collection routes), and energy (e.g. smart buildings, smart street lighting, etc.).
The research question of this paper asks how we can leverage this digital transformation into cities towards effective climate action to contribute to the implementation of the Paris Agreement and also achieve the target of achieving 100 climate neutral cities by 2030.
The publication is a work of a group of experts working as part of the Expert Group - a community of smart cities professionals providing technical advice and support to the Scalable Cities and the European Commission.
Publication is located on the website of the Publications Office of the European Union as well as on the web of the European Climate Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency.

Who doesn't need something to help whiten their teeth? I know I certainly do!
While I want my pearly whites to stay white, I just can't see going to get a professional whitening done…those things are insane!
So where does that leave us?
Smile Brilliant uses an LED teeth whitening system designed to be the most effective while staying simple. Smile Brilliant claims that their "high-intensity" LED light accelerates the process of whitening your teeth.
Now, let's be honest…when it comes to things like this I am always a little skeptical…I mean they aren't cheap and who knows if it is going to work! Even the reviews I was able to find online were evenly mixed with good and bad results. However, I am always open to giving something a shot…especially if I am given a chance to review it for FREE! I am all about an honest review…even if it doesn't end up painting the product in the best light. So let's get to it!
My first question was…WHAT IS IN IT?
I looked around and found this: "The formula in the gel is 77.1% glycerin, 22% carbamide peroxide, 0.5% carbomer, 0.2% menthol, and 0.2% EDTA."
Now for my full video review!

When Xiaomi announced the Mi Box, it was expected to launch with Android Nougat. While that didn't happen, it was expected that there will soon be an OTA update available for the Android TV box. Now, finally, some users have been seeing beta versions of Nougat being pushed to their Android TVs. So, if you haven't received any notification regarding Android Nougat for your Mi Box, don't fret. In this article I'll tell you how you can sideload the file, and update the Mi Box to Android Nougat:
Install Nougat on Mi Box
The update file that brings Android Nougat to the Mi Box is fortunately available for downloading freely. Before you can update your Mi Box, you'll first have to download the "update.zip" file from here, and then copy it to a USB thumb drive. Once you've done that, you can proceed to installing the update on your Mi Box. Just follow the steps given below:
- First, turn the Mi Box on, and plug in the USB drive. Once the Mi Box detects the drive has having been plugged in, disconnect the Mi Box from power.
- Next, on the Mi Box Remote, press and hold the "Back", and "Ok" buttons, and then connect the Mi Box to power.
- The Mi Box will boot into recovery mode. In the menu, use the remote to select the option that says "Apply Update from EXT".
- Then, select "Update from udisk".
- You will be able to see all the files inside the USB thumb drive, just select "update.zip"
- Mi Box will then start installing the update.
- Once the update has been installed, just select "Reboot system now".
Changes in Android Nougat
When your Mi Box starts up, you'll be running Android Nougat. Since this is not the stable release, there may be some bugs and issues. However, there have been no reports of anything major being broken. There aren't even a lot of changes in this version of the beta build of Android Nougat for the Mi Box. Here are a couple of the changes you'll see:
- The Settings Page has been revamped, and now follows the style that Android Nougat brought to mobile devices. However, it doesn't make good use of the screen real estate on a large screen TV, which is weird. Maybe they'll fix it in the upcoming builds.
- Users now have the option to customize HDMI-CEC settings from the Settings page.
- Live Channels also get Picture-in-Picture mode with the new update.
Things Not Working in Android Nougat TV Beta:
- HDR is not working in Netflix.
- Automatic refresh rate switching doesn't work, either.

Easily Update your Mi Box to Android Nougat
If you're like me, and you just can't wait to lay your hands on the latest updates, you probably don't want to wait for installing the update on your Mi Box. Well, with these instructions you can easily install the beta build of Android Nougat on your Mi Box, and get to exploring all the new features of the (yet) unreleased Android Nougat for Xiaomi Mi Box. There are quite a bit of new things to explore, but there are some bugs as well, so make sure you know what you're doing before you get to installing beta builds on your Mi Box.
So, have you updated your Mi Box to Android Nougat yet? Are you going to sideload the update file, or are you waiting for an official release of Android Nougat? Also, let us know about your thoughts on the new beta build of Android Nougat for the Mi Box, in the comments section below.
TV App Repo not work with this beta ? i have "building failed" when I want create shorcut
hello, thank you it worked. I am offered an update when I go into system update. should we do it or not? while before passing it under 7.0 nougat my system appeared up to date. I do not want to lose this 7.0 update if I do this system update. Thank you for your opinion
Install Update.zip was successful, RGB issue remains. Applying system update fails while installing. Now Android 7.0 on the system, but do not see the advantages.
For some reason the apps as installed from my USB do not appear in the apps list……If anybody has a functioning solution to force RGB (old Philips TV set), I would be thrilled….
I got the update on a stick….and got into recovery mode…….and got to "update Udisk"…….but after that I can't get to where it should say "update zip"….

Typically this is just an upgrade, not a full wipe.

What We Believe
We believe God is so high above us that if He chose not to make Himself known, there would be no way we could ever know Him. The good news is that He did make Himself known, and He has shown us who He is and what is pleasing to Him in the Bible, His holy Word. Although the Bible was written by men, God inspired every word contained in the Bible in such a way that it is absolutely perfect and without error. Therefore, we can know that everything the Bible teaches is true and trustworthy. The Bible is the foundation for our faith and the standard by which we live. All of the Bible-both Old and New Testaments-point to Jesus Christ, who is the center of God's plan and the fulfillment of all that God has revealed.
Luke 24:25-27; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21
We believe there is only one living and true God and that He has forever existed in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each of these persons is equal to one another and is absolutely perfect. Present everywhere and full of love and justice, God is all-knowing, all-wise, all-powerful, and absolutely perfect, and He is in absolute control.
Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14
God the Father
We believe in God the Father, who is infinite, perfect, and holy. In all wisdom, power, and love, He knows everything that has ever happened and that ever will happen, and He is intimately involved with His creation, creating and governing the universe and working out all of history according to His purpose. He hears and answers prayer, and He is mighty to save from sin and death all who come to Him by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Proverbs 19:21; Proverbs 21:1; Luke 10:21-22; John 3:16; John 6:27; Romans 8:28; 1 Timothy 2:5-6; 1 Peter 1:3; Revelation 1:6
Jesus Christ, the Son
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, who became man without ceasing to be God. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He never did anything wrong, and because He was absolutely perfect, He was able to take our place and die on our behalf, taking the punishment that we deserved on Himself. He rose from the grave, conquering death, and He then went back up to heaven where He has been lifted high at the right hand of God and where He now intercedes on our behalf. He will return again one day to judge those who have died and those who are still living.
Matthew 1:18-25; Matthew 20:28; Matthew 28:1-10; Mark 16:1-8; Luke 1:26-38; Luke 24:1-53; John 1:1; John 20:1-23; John 20:28; John 20:30-31; Acts 1:11; Romans 5:6-8; Romans 6:9; Romans 9:5; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Timothy 3:16; 2 Timothy 4:1; Hebrews 7:25; Hebrews 9:28; 1 Peter 2:21-23; 1 Peter 4:5
Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit and that He convinces people of their sin and changes people's hearts, enabling them to turn from their sin and to know and love God. He lives inside all believers and guides and empowers them, constantly making them more like Jesus and guaranteeing them salvation when Jesus returns one day.
Ezekiel 37:12-14; John 3:1-8; John 14:16-17; John 14:26; John 15:26; John 16:7-14; Romans 5:5; Romans 8:5-11; Romans 8:12-17; Galatians 5:22-26; Ephesians 1:13-14; Ephesians 4:30; Titus 3:4-7
We believe mankind is the special creation of God, whom God made male and female in His own image. However, we believe that the father of the human race, Adam, committed the first sin and that as a result, all of mankind has inherited a sinful nature from him and is separated from God. Therefore, every person is now born into sin and is an enemy of God. Mankind is thus currently in a desperate situation. Left to himself, he would continue in a pattern of sin and would be unable to do anything to help himself out of his hopeless predicament.
Genesis 1:26-31; Genesis 3:1-19; Romans 3:10-12; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; Ephesians 2:1-3; Ephesians 2:12; Colossians 1:21; Colossians 2:13
We believe sin is anything we do—whether in thought, word, or action—that displeases God. Every single person is a sinner. And the just penalty for our sin is death. Because we are children of Adam, the first sinner, we are sinful by our very nature. Sin is so deeply ingrained in us that even if we tried not to sin, we would not be able to stop sinning. Left to ourselves, we would never seek God, nor would we ever be capable of anything wholly good.
Romans 3:10-12; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; Romans 6:23; Romans 7:15; Ephesians 2:1-3; Ephesians 2:12; Colossians 2:13; 2 Thessalonians 1:9
We believe that because man is in a desperate state of sin, he can do nothing on his own to earn a pardon from his judgment. No one is good enough to earn salvation. Thus, we need a new nature—we must be "born again," which means that the Holy Spirit must enable us to recognize our sin and to see our need for God. Salvation is from beginning to end completely the work of God. In short, God in His great mercy took pity on us and sent His only Son Jesus Christ, who was fully God and fully man and who lived a perfect life, to die on the cross on our behalf—taking the punishment for our sin—so that all those who have faith in Him will live forever with Him in heaven.
John 1:12; John 3:3-8; John 3:16; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Ephesians 1:7; Ephesians 2:8-10; 1 Peter 1:18-21
The Church
We believe in the universal church—that is, that the Church is made up of all born-again believers from all over the world and throughout time. We also believe in the local church, which is where a group of believers come together to worship God, fellowship with each other, hold each other accountable, and work together to reach their community and their world with the good news of Jesus Christ.
Acts 13:1-4; Acts 20:28; 1 Corinthians 1:12-14; 1 Corinthians 5:4-6; Ephesians 1:22-23; Ephesians 5:25-27; Titus 1:5-11
The Ordinances
We believe that Jesus established two ordinances for the local church: baptism and the Lord's Supper.
We believe that Christian baptism is an outward sign of an inward change. Therefore, we believe that in accordance with what God's Word teaches, when a person surrenders his life to Christ, he should be baptized. Baptism is reserved for the believer, and it creates a picture for the believer of dying to sin and being raised to new life in the power of Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Lord's Supper is a special way Jesus gave us to remember His sacrifice on the cross. Jesus said that the bread stood for his body, which was broken for us, and that the wine stood for his blood, which was shed for us, and He said that we should remember Him whenever we eat and drink these things.

The abdominal inflammation , despite being a disorder that can occur in both men and women, is much more common in women, especially enhanced by hormonal changes experienced in the menstrual cycle. But this would only explain why we feel inflamed for a few days a month, however it is not the cause of frequent swelling. This type of discomfort can be caused by bad eating habits, gastrointestinal problems and even by certain gynecological conditions. If you feel very bloated and want to know the causes and solutions to this problem, at FastlyHealwe explain them in detail.
Table of Contents
premenstrual syndrome
Premenstrual syndrome is that period that occurs once the fertile days are over and until the arrival of the rule. During this stage, our body manifests a series of hormonal changes characterized by the increase in estrogens, additionally some women have a deficit in the production of prostaglandins, which gives rise to a series of annoying symptoms that characterize PMS.
Abdominal bloating, fluid retention, increased appetite and gas, and emotional changes are some of the main signs of this condition that can be fought with some changes in our diet and daily habits. If you have noticed that you feel more bloated even 11 days before your period comes, it is very likely that the cause is PMS.
But what to do in this condition? In our article premenstrual syndrome: duration, causes and treatment we give you the keys to prevent these discomforts from affecting your day to day.
Fluid retention
Fluid retention is a common problem, especially in women, being one of the main causes why you can feel very bloated. This condition occurs when our body, instead of eliminating fluid through urine and sweating, accumulates it in areas of our body such as the abdomen, feet, legs or hands, making us feel much more swollen and heavy than usual. normal .
This condition occurs in women who do not drink the recommended daily amount of fluid of at least 2 liters, who have a diet rich in salt or sugar, who have circulatory problems and who also lead a sedentary life. Other conditions such as pregnancy, menopause, kidney or heart problems can also promote fluid retention.
To combat this problem, it is important to eat a good amount of liquid a day, eat a healthy and balanced diet, consuming fruits and vegetables and ingesting salt in moderate amounts, exercising frequently and at least 3 times a week, and avoiding clothing. tight clothing that can increase the problem.
A bad diet and improper eating habits
But not necessarily the reasons why you feel more bloated have to do with any particular condition, the foods you choose and the way you eat may also be causing this problem. The accumulation of intestinal gases that cause abdominal inflammation and heaviness, is caused by an inadequate diet and by eating habits that give rise to this problem.
Some of the reasons why your abdomen may be swollen are:
- Eat a diet rich in foods that increase gas such as legumes, artichokes, mushrooms, fried foods, cabbage, broccoli, carbonated drinks, sweets, and whole milk.
- Eating too fast, which increases the presence of air in the stomach causing inflammation.
- Not chewing food properly, this makes digestion much heavier, increasing inflammation.
- Chewing gum frequently and for long periods, which also increases the presence of stomach gas by allowing air to enter the stomach.
To solve this problem it is important to balance our diet and reduce the presence of foods that increase gas. It is also important to eat slowly and slowly, chewing food well and without accompanying food with carbonated drinks, avoid chewing gum or eating sweets, as well as exercising frequently to guarantee our gastric well-being.
Constipation occurs when bowel movements do not occur with the expected frequency or when they are too hard, causing discomfort in the patient. If you go to the bathroom three times or less a week or if the frequency is greater but when doing so you must invest a great effort because the stools are excessively hard, causing discomfort and pain, then we are facing a case of constipation.
The lack of regular movement in the intestine is caused in most cases by three triggers:
- A poor intake of fiber.
- A very sedentary life.
- Low water consumption.
Increasing your fiber intake through cereals, pasta and whole grain breads, fruits, vegetables and legumes will help you significantly improve your intestinal transit. It is also important to exercise frequently several times a week and hydrate adequately to ensure a good bowel movement. Also detect those ingredients that enhance constipation and those that relieve it is essential, so we invite you to read our articles on foods that cause constipation and home remedies for constipation , which will undoubtedly help you.
Irritable bowel syndrome
Also known as irritable bowel , it is a chronic condition in which there are changes in the intestinal rhythm characterized by periods of diarrhea, constipation, abdominal inflammation, gas and various gastric discomfort. Although there is no specific cause for this condition, it is known that high levels of stress and emotional tension can trigger it, as they manage to alter the proper functioning of the intestines, causing them to compress or contract.
In our article irritable bowel: causes, symptoms and treatment , we offer you all the necessary information about this condition. Reducing stress, increasing fiber intake and following the appropriate medical and dietary recommendations are the best solution to overcome this condition, so visiting a gastroenterologist if you suspect its presence is essential.
Food intolerances
Gluten intolerance or celiac disease , lactose or fructose intolerance, as well as various gastrointestinal problems derived from poor digestion or poor tolerance to certain foods, can be the cause of abdominal inflammation .
Although a food intolerance must be detected by a gastroenterologist, we can help the specialist, to achieve this it is recommended to keep a food diary that allows us to detect in which cases we feel the discomfort and if they are linked to a specific food or food group. If you suspect that this is the problem, then don't hesitate to consult your doctor.
Certain gynecological problems
Sometimes the reasons why we feel very bloated are not related to gastric conditions or fluid retention problems, but rather to gynecological pathologies .
Polycystic ovaries or uterine fibroids are conditions that can cause discomfort and inflammation. These are accompanied by symptoms such as irregular menstrual periods, painful periods, pressure in the abdomen area and in some cases painful intercourse. Given this picture, the recommendation is to visit a gynecologist to detect any pathology that may be causing these discomfort.
See a doctor for a diagnosis
Generally speaking, whenever we feel too swollen for no apparent reason, it is advisable to visit a doctor. However, it is true that some changes in our diet and habits can end the problem, so we can put into practice the recommendations given in this article to see if we present an improvement.
If not, then a visit to the gastroenterologist or gynecologist, as the case may be, can be of great help. Additionally, we must go to an emergency specialist if:
- The swelling presents with symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or fever.
- The abdomen feels tender to the touch.
- It is not possible to eat or drink.
- Inability to evacuate for several hours accompanied by foul gases.
This article is merely informative, at FastlyHeal .com we do not have the power to prescribe medical treatments or make any type of diagnosis. We invite you to see a doctor in the case of presenting any type of condition or discomfort.

SMS/Text survey sharing is an add-on feature for Advanced and Enterprise hosted plans and is included with on-premises licenses. If you would like to distribute your Checkbox surveys via text message but don't see this option in your account, please contact your Checkbox account manager or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The SMS add-on for hosted accounts includes 10,000 text messages per year. Both the initial SMS Campaign and any follow-up reminders count against this limit. You may purchase additional text messages, subject to approval by our sales team. Hosted customers who prefer to use their own personal Twilio phone number will not be subject to our sending limit, but must still purchase the SMS add-on feature. On-premises customers must have their own Twilio account in order to use the SMS feature, and are therefore not subject to the sending limit.
SMS messages are limited to 160 GSM-7 characters or 67 characters if you include non GSM-7 characters in your message. Pay special attention to the instructions on personalizing your message below, as well as the character counter when creating your message, so that your recipients receive your full message text.
Checkbox uses short links when sending SMS messages in order to minimize the characters consumed by the survey URL. When respondents click the short link, they will be redirected to your survey's Custom or Default URL. Checkbox reserves 25 characters for the survey short link – this is accounted for in the character counter below your message editor.
Before you can create and send SMS Campaigns, you (or any System Admin on your account) must choose a phone number that your SMS messages will be sent from. This is done under Account Settings -> Email & SMS -> SMS Settings.
Checkbox only supports sending from US and Canada phone numbers. Once you choose a phone number, it cannot be changed. However, your phone number may be released if you do not send at least 3 texts during any one-month period (this rule is set by our third-party SMS provider, Twilio).
If you would like to send from a non-US or Canada phone number or you would prefer to use your own custom phone number, you may sign up for a Twilio account and enter the phone number and your Twilio credentials in this same Account Settings area. SMS messages sent from your own custom phone number will be billed to your personal Twilio account and will therefore not be subject to our sending limits. Note that on-premises (server) customers will only have the option to use their own custom phone number/Twilio account for sending.
Due to international data privacy restrictions, Checkbox only supports sending SMS messages to US and Canada phone numbers if you choose to send from a Checkbox-provisioned phone number. If you need to send to recipients outside of the US and Canada, you will need to sign up for your own Twilio phone number and enter your Twilio phone number and API credentials in your Checkbox Account Settings. You will then be direct-billed by Twilio for any SMS messages you send via Checkbox.
Your recipients may unsubscribe from text messages from your account by responding to your SMS message with any of the following words:
Recipients may resubscribe by replying with any of the following words:
We recommend including instructions in your SMS message to let your respondents know how they can unsubscribe. For example, "Reply STOP to unsubscribe".
Note that unsubscribe and resubscribe requests will apply to all SMS messages sent from your account, even if your sending phone number is changed.
We reserve the right to deactivate SMS sending or deny requests for additional text message purchases from accounts with excessive SPAM complaints. Refunds will not be issued if an account's SMS sending is deactivated due to SPAM/complaints.
If you are going to send your SMS Campaign to registered Checkbox Contacts (so you can associate details like name or company with your response), you need to import your respondents in the Contacts area before creating your campaign.
For more details on how to create new Contacts in Checkbox, please see our Contact Import Guide. Note that you must populate the SMS_Phone field with the phone number(s) you want to send your survey to – Checkbox cannot use other phone number fields for SMS Campaigns.
If you don't want to create Contacts, you can simply type or paste phone numbers directly into your SMS Campaign, following the steps below.
From the Share tab of your survey, click the Create SMS button under the Campaigns header.
On the Campaign Name screen:
If you plan to send follow-up reminders, you can add a separate message for your reminder emails. The same character limits apply to your reminder message – see #4 above.
You will add your SMS Campaign recipients on the Add Recipients tab. You may choose one or more of the following options after clicking the Add Recipients button:
TIP: If you want to be able to personalize your message or survey with custom Contact profile information like name or company, you need to use the Contacts or Group option.
To send yourself or someone else a test SMS message, click the Send Test Message button on the Add Recipients tab and enter a 10-digit US or Canada phone number. You can send as many tests as you'd like.
On the Schedule screen you can choose to:
Once you have scheduled or sent your campaign, you will see a Schedule a Reminder button appear on the Schedule tab. Click this to select the date and time you'd like to send your reminder – you may schedule one or more reminders. Make sure to click Save under the 3-dot icon to save your reminder schedule.
Scheduled campaigns can be modified up until the point that they are queued for sending (about 5 minutes before your scheduled send time). To edit your schedule, click the Edit option under the 3-dot icon on the Schedule tab.

Rhode Island Rams: 21-9, 13-5 in the Atlantic 10
Head coach: Dan Hurley (5th season)
Players to watch: E.C. Matthews (14.9 PPG), Hassan Martin (14.1 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 2.2 BPG), Kuran Iverson (9.4 PPG, 7.4 RPG)
Season recap: When Duke met Rhode Island in November at the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off Classic, the then-No. 21 Rams had the look of a team on the rise. But after defeating Cincinnati and playing the Blue Devils tough, Rhode Island has not enjoyed the success many thought it would achieve this year.
The victory against the Bearcats still stands as Rhode Island's best win, and the Rams went 1-3 against a likely trio of nearly and fellow tournament teams in Providence, Dayton and VCU. A pair of close losses against the Flyers kept the Rams from competing for the Atlantic 10 regular season title, so instead they needed to make a run in the conference tournament to solidify a spot in the Big Dance, which they did in winning the Atlantic 10 tournament.
Led by head coach Dan Hurley—the younger brother of Duke legend Bobby Hurley—Rhode Island is a veteran squad led by seniors Hassan Martin and Kuran Iverson in the frontcourt with juniors E.C. Matthews and Jared Terrell in the backcourt. Rhode Island struggles from the perimeter and shoots just 34.0 percent from beyond the arc, but even in a down year for Matthews, he is capable of exploding offensively and putting up points in bunches.
How they make a run: The Rams have made their living on the defensive end of the floor this year, holding opponents to less than 41 percent shooting overall and 28.5 percent from deep. That stingy defense, plus a big night from Matthews or Martin, leads to an upset or two and Rhode Island has a chance to play in the tournament's second weekend.
How they falter: The Rams fail to contain a major conference opponent on the defensive end and without Matthews leading the way offensively, Rhode Island is knocked out in the first weekend.

AU 'extremely concerned' over security situation in DRC as Rwandan ambassador expelled
The African Union (AU) has said it was worried about the deteriorating security situation in the troubled eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, where rebels have made fresh gains and the country's authorities responded by expelling the Rwandan Ambassador in Kinshasa, accusing Rwanda of supporting the M23 rebels.
In a joint statement, AU Chairman Macky Sall and AU Commission Chair Moussa Faki Mahamat on Sunday (30 October) expressed "extreme concern" at the failing security and appealed for calm and dialogue. They call "on all the parties to establish an immediate cease-fire, respect international law, the safety and security of civilians," the statement said.
This comes as the M23 rebels seized more territory in the vast, mineral-rich DRC a day earlier, prompting the UN peacekeeping mission to increase its "troop alert level" and boost support for the army. In response, the authorities in the DR of Congo announced the expulsion of the Rwandan Ambassador, Mr Vincent Karega, in Kinshasa. The expulsion follows months of tensions with neighboring Rwanda that Kinshasa blames for supporting the M23 rebels in the east of the country.
Dozens of demonstrators went around churches to call for a big demonstration on Sunday against the Rwandan invasion, expressing their positive feelings regarding the expulsion of Rwanda's ambassador to the DR of Congo. Some demonstrators went as far as affirming their support for the Congolese army in the face of the rebellion by asking that they be given "weapons so that they can fight against Rwanda".
The UN's mission in the country, MONUSCO, condemned what it described as "the hostile acts of M23" and called for an immediate halt to the fighting. The rebel group, a mostly Congolese Tutsi group, resumed fighting in late 2021 after lying dormant for years, accusing the government of having failed to honor an agreement over the demobilization of its fighters.

This week I'm answering a listener-submitted question about killing your first deer. If you're looking for a more comprehensive resource for getting started as a deer hunter, listen to Ep. 216 of the Wired To Hunt Podcast, a Beginner's Guide to Deer Hunting.
Wired to Hunt Weekly is a video journal documenting my DIY whitetail hunting exploits across the country.
