Q:I have a large Jacuzzi tub and currently my hot water heater runs out of hot water before filling the tub. Will this product help fill the tub with hot water?
9 answers
A:Yes. It will fill your Jacuzzi with hot water.
A:hot water supply unlimited
A:If you keep the flow around 4 gallons per minute it will do very nicely and output about 110 degree water into your hot tub. The more water that is flowing, the less temperature rise you will get. I use mine in a wash sink and with the heater turned up to the hottest setting and wide open flow(about 3 gallons per minute) it will get about 145 degrees. The thing to remember is that this unit requires a 60 amp service and can be expensive to install. It will fill your Juccuzi if used as I mentioned above.
A:Keith this unit will supply all the hot water you need for your jacuzzi. Is this the only thing you are using it for? If you are putting your whole house on this unit, I would buy a larger one. It will do fine for just the jacuzzi.

A:hmm good question, I am not sure how many continuous gallons the products heating elements were tested at or run time, as to will it fill your tub, as long as the heating elements hold up and you wire the unit correctly, It will provide constant hot water.

Q:I plan to build an outdoor shower with hot water outside my backyard. I leave here in San Pedro, Ca, I wanted to know if I can I use this tankless heater outside expose to the element? We hardly get any rain here and low humidity. Or does the unit need to be enclosed? If so, would a small cover be sufficient enough to be mounted outside the house?
3 answers
A:It is not waterproof, it has to be covered or it will short out.
A:Hi Glenn, Nice idea, the thing to remember is that it is an electric unit and to my knowledge is not water proof, If you built a waterproof container of sorts to protect it from the rain it will work. MAKE sure it is properly grounded you don't want to electrocute the user. You can also place the unit in a building and plumb it outside, humidity should not effect the unit. Call rheems Tech to make sure they are very good and give you exact answers..Mine in stalled inside my bathroom..
Q:Which unit would I use if my present hot water heater is a conventional 30 gallon hot water heater?
1 answer
A:A better reference would be what applications are you looking to supply hot water to? For example, a two shower home where both showers would be used at the same time would require a higher KW unit to meet those demands. Tankless units are restricted by the GPM they can provide at the desired temperature.

A:There is no reason why it couldn't be PROVIDED you have sufficient power available. This unit draws 58 amps while heating and will require an additional circuit for it. Otherwise no issues.
A:As long as you have the ELECTRICAL needs to power it up I would say yes, I have one in my home and I have a propane model in my vending truck (a different brand Marley)

Q:We are looking to replace the water heater in our 26 ft motorhome, is a unit such as this recommended for recreational use? Is there a unit similar to this that could be used if this particular one is not an option? Thanks!
3 answers
A:Please list all appliances that would need hot water.
A:Hello Adams, This unit may not be what you want, YES it would be great IF you have the proper wiring, the unit pulls a lot of amps similar to your rooftop AC, the instant ons are very nice. NOW if you wanted a propane model Marey has a 5 litre unit inder $200 which I use in my vending truck, you do need to vent it but it is also a nice unit.. SO bottom line, if you have the electrical capabilities yes it will work if you go propane electric isnt an issue but you do need to vent it..Hope this helps..

1 answer

Q:Have a 30 gal water heater with leaks in a 1400sq ft house. Looking into this product to replace it. We only use one hot water supply at a time due to water pressure lack with the well water and pump system. Could this be a good fit?
5 answers
A:Possibly, but it would depend on the number of applications you would need this water heater to supply hot water to. The RTE-13 will only handle (1) major application at a time. For more help, please contact our sales department at 1-866-577-3014

A:The Rheem RTE-13 does not offer any freeze protection, the unit will need to be winterized as well.

A:Yes no problem
Q:While I'm in the shower for about 5 minutes, I start to loose hot water, will this help to keep it from going cold on me
6 answers
A:Can you answer Ashley's question about this product?
A:It all depends on how hot you like to shower and how many gallons per minute is being used by the shower. I use mine on a wash sink in my shop and with the faucet all the way open it will burn me if I turn the temp control up too high. The other thing to consider is the electrical demands this unit has. It will be very expensive to run the required electrical especially if you install this very far from the breaker panel. From your description of losing hot water after 5 minutes it sounds like it is fine until then and then your existing water heater tank runs out of hot water. It would probably be way more cost effective to install a larger water heater. This unit will give you plenty of hot water under normal shower uses, but keep in mind the cost to install and if you have a big enough electrical service to your home to support its operation. Draws 55 amps while heating. Hope this helps. This is a great unit when working under its intended conditions, which is what you are doing.
A:Yes, but it needs electricity to heat the water.
A:Your hot water heater is probably full of sediment, or an element has gone out this is a good booster unit but works best with back to back installs. In other words two of these units hooked together will run a whole house. Start at cold in on first one then from the hot on first one to cold on second one then hook to hot water line. Requires 2 60 amp breakers and 2 #6-2 wires to be installed at main panel to hot water heaters
A:No, I bought one and have not been impressed with it.
A:The RTE-13 is a tankless hot water heater designed to provide you with endless hot water. Please note however that the RTE-13 produces an maximum output of 4 GPMs, which means that it may not handle more than 1 application at time.
Q:What is the size of this unit? Width hight length
2 answers
A:3 inches depth 10 inches long 7.25 inches wide
A:7.2 x 7.2 x 7.2 inches
Q:Will this single unit be enough to use for single shower and one bath sink?
1 answer
A:Yes,the RTE-13 would work with a shower and bath sink.
Q:We want hot water in our wash stall at the barn to rinse or wash off horses. Will this unit work for that? We have well water that gives us approx. 4 gallons per minute. May be used up to 4 times a day but not always.
6 answers
A:This unit heats water from a well for us. The colder the weather gets
A:Technically yes, this water heater has a maximum output of 4 gpm, however, we recommend speaking to our sales department for assistance.
A:Been great so far and it is in constant use at a granite shop.
A:You should not have any problem with this unit doing what you want. One thing I found out is if you turn on the hot water flow all the way is that unit can't keep up with demand. I turn on hot water faucet half way and get plenty of hot water. Hopes this helps.
A:I have personally found that "on demand" water heaters are a great
A:I'd recommend putting the water through filtration prior to its connection to the hot water heater, if the unit gets too much sediment it will stop working. It's great running for a minute or so, not sure how long it takes to wash a horse so might want to go with the unit that's larger than this one.
Q:We have an 850 sq. ft. cabin that we go to on weekends when we can. The place is 200 Amp electric with a tank water heater, that wastes power when we're not there heating the water. The only water fixtures in the place are two bathroom sinks, one kitchen sink, a dishwasher, and a shower. We always run one thing at a time. This is on a well system, and the flow is only 1-2 gallons per minute. In our case, could one of these be used instead of a tank? Thanks. Steve
2 answers
A:I would not recommend this unit be used to replace your current tank, it is too small.
A:The higher the degree rise for the desired temp. the lower your flow rate will be.

City The Ballad of the Chrome Sheriff
posted by May 25 at 9:57 AMon
In this week's Last Days, I report this sighting by Hot Tipper Todd:
"I was in Home Depot to get a key made. As I'm looking around for an employee, I spot a somewhat-homeless-looking man wearing a mask. This mask was made entirely of duct tape. It had holes for his eyes and mouth (picture Dr. Doom) and a clear safety shield, which was in the upright position. This guy walks up to an employee and asks, 'What aisle is the duct tape on?' Oh my freaking god, am I dreaming this? Apparently not, because that same employee ended up making my key for me, and he wouldn't shut up about the duct-tape guy. Since then, I've shared this story with friends and coworkers, and I've heard of many sightings. Does anyone know what this guy's story is? I gotta know."
At the end of the item, I urged readers to share any info they had on the man known alternately as the Beekeeper, the Chrome Sheriff, and the Duct-Tape Guy.
Responses have been coming in steadily, from history briefs ("From 1998-2000, he wore a sandwich board with Spanish writing on it and road-race bibs like the kind marathon runners wear") to notes of commiseration ("Thanks for letting me know I haven't been hallucinating this guy") to this seemingly legitmate input from Hot Tipper Mark:
I don't know the particular case, but it is very common for schizophrenic patients (who make up a large number of homeless types) to create masks and headgear of that sort (most frequently out of tin foil). It has to do with the symptomsthey lose "ego boundaries," and thus believe that voices control them (ie Son of Sam) and that everyone can read their thoughts, thus, they create magical head protective devices to keep the alien intruders out and their thoughts contained within. The more funding for mental health (and all other health) gets shunted away to other people's delusions about Iraq, the more we'll see dumping of schizophrenics to the streets and away from proper care (you probably know that the current administration has set back cancer and other research formidably, as part of their Marcos-ization of the country).Thanks to all who've shared so far. Others, write email@example.com.

First, thank you for a great plugin.
Second, is a bit of suggestion and a question:
Since you know how Feedwordpress operates, would you be able to add feature that will move or remove/delete imported posts that are no longer in the datafeed? I tried all kind of tricks and it does not work...
I'm looking for somebody to do that for a while now, so I wonder if you could add it to your plugin, and it would make your plugin very popular, since I'm not the only one looking for this solution...

You can either stay in Kyoto on your own after your tour, or return to Tokyo by bullet train. Choose from four hotel options.

Scale the stunning peaks of Mt Fuji on a two-day trip from Tokyo. Ascend the summit of Japan's most iconic landmark, climbing overnight and reaching the summit in time to watch the sunrise over the landscape below. After this awe-inspiring overnight climb, you'll have time to relax and treat your tired muscles to a soak in the outdoor hot springs, which boast stunning views over Mt Fuji. This is a once-in- a-lifetime experience not to be missed.
Overnight Mt Fuji and Onsen Experience from Tokyo
Get a true glimpse into Japanese culture, tradition and natural beauty on an overnight tour from Tokyo to Mt Fuji and the hot spring baths, known as 'onsen.'

Stay overnight in Hakone or Atami (depending on option selected) and immerse yourself in the healing waters of the hot springs!

10 Christmas and LDS holiday books for the season
Eric D. Huntsman, an associate professor at Brigham Young University, uses the narratives of the four gospels in the New Testament to explore the birth of Jesus Christ along with other mentioned events and people, including the stories of Mary, Zacharias and John the Baptist. He also intermixes some of the culture and traditions of the era along with information from other scholars to help bring out details to better understand the events around the Nativity.
Interwoven throughout "God So Loved the World" are photos, art and maps along with historical traditions, including why Christmas is on Dec. 25, along with ways to celebrate Advent.

My daughter has the Pop-up scriptures that are the same as the Bagley "Baby

is BLONDE!
I have been looking for an alternative after my husband pointed out that all the "good" guys in the illustration were blonde and all the bad guys had brown/black hair. I'm glad Mary and Joseph are ethnically correct in this one, but a blonde Jesus? *sigh* It's unfortunate because the rhymes are fun and my daughter likes the hidden pictures. Perhaps a little more care should be taken by the illustrator.

what is the best response for white in this situation?
2. d4
then what? Does black take on e4? Don't I end up down a pawn early?
oh sneaky
Fear- That's what the d5 player wants.
Chess is about imposing your agenda not meekly following your opponents.
He might do, but after 2...dxe4 3. f3 exf3 4. Nxf3 white is already totally winning.
You could also advance your pawn to e5 and make it a pain for black to develop his kingside pieces, in particular his knight. It will take away the only potentially safe square for the black dark square bishop, unless he fianchettoes it. A fianchettoed castled king structure is generally always better with the knight on f6, or atleast with the option to put it there without much trouble. Black could also advance his pawn to d4, but I think white's initiative will do better to get rid of the advanced black pawn, than black will it's counterpart, because he will be forced to compromise his kingside castling structure to deal with it.
2. e5 d4 3. Nf3 c5
Fear- That's what the d5 player wants.
Opponents giving up a pawn in the opening follows my agenda nicely :p
A pawn for a winning attack. :D
I'll bet this is all in a book or something somewhere...
I find it amazing how many people think white gains a tempo in the Scandinavian.
It is a tempo. Black spends a turn doing nothing but moving the queen.
White gets a free turn for development.
Equalising the tempo black already gained...
White moved the same pawn twice and it was subsequently captured. White only gains the tempo back.
No losing a tempo would mean that White had to waste a move on something like retreating a piece.
A piece capture doesn't count as a tempo loss.
It does if they can recapture while developing.
To make it easier for you, count how many pieces on each side have been developed, or how many moves they each need to complete development.
But queen moves don't count as development.

Hi there,
I have installed the Meteor plugin for my sideshow. I changed the width and height of the images within Slider ? Settings and then uploaded some slides for my slideshow.
I am using this code in my theme to call the slideshow:-
<?php if ( function_exists( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { meteor_slideshow(); } ?>
The slideshow works but the wrong image sixe is called. When you look at the code it's calling the default thumbnail image at 150x150 and stretching it to fit the dimentions I set within settings.
How can I make the plugin generate and call the slideshow images at the size 940 x 280?
Thank you kind people,

I get an invalid user name message when I try to log in at wordpress.org. Yet I can access it through my yahoo web hosting. In yahoo, clicking on "add a post" or "edit blog settings" takes me to a wordpress log in page that has the same log in info and I can get in just fine.
But if I open a new window, go directly to WordPress.org, and enter the exact same user name and password, it says my user name is invalid, even if I'm logged into my blog in another tab.
It's been like this for a long time on multiple computers. It's only a problem now because I'm changing web hosting and need to log on only through WordPress. I have to be able to move my blog off the yahoo server, but right now I can only access it through yahoo.

To troubleshoot system updates, try the Xbox One System Update Solution before using the Offline System Update Diagnostic Tool.
To use the Offline System Update Diagnostic Tool, you'll need:
For information about how to format a USB flash drive to NTFS using a PC, see How to format a flash drive to NTFS on Windows.
Helpful hint Most USB flash drives come formatted as FAT32 and will have to be reformatted to NTFS. Note that formatting a USB flash drive for this procedure will erase all files on it.
|Offline System Update Diagnostic Tool
Watch the Offline System Update Diagnostic Tool video. Note This video is available in English only.
To download the correct system update, you'll first need to know which Xbox operating system (OS) version you're currently running.
To find your Xbox One console OS version:
Note If you're setting up your system for the first time, or if you're in the middle of a system update and need to find your OS version, pull both triggers and press both bumpers on your controller. The OS version is listed as Build on the second line.
Important Back up or transfer any files on your flash drive before starting this procedure. The contents of the flash drive will be deleted during the reformatting process.
Note If you select OSUDT2 and you receive the error message E101 00000507 8B05008E, this means you do not have one of the 12 console OS versions associated with this system update. Double-check your console OS version number, and then select OSUDT1 or OSUDT3 based on your console OS version number.
Console OS version
File Version
Note This system update file will require a second update after this update is applied. You'll be able to take the second update using the Xbox Live services, or you can download OSUDT2 and complete the process a second time.
Warning You must wait until the first update is complete and you see either the It's time to update screen or the Home tab before you start the update process for OSUDT2.
Use this option if your console OS version is not listed above.
Note This system update file will require a second update after this update is applied. You'll be able to take the second update using the Xbox Live services, or you can download OSUDT2 and complete the process a second time.
Warning: You must wait until the first update is complete and you see either the It's time to update screen or the Home tab before you start the update process for OSUDT2.
If the console is experiencing an issue that would require you to Restore Factory Defaults after a system update, but you're unable to access the Settings hub, use this file.
Warning Restoring your console to the factory default settings erases all accounts, apps, games, saved games, and settings. Anything not synchronized with Xbox Live will be lost. Your console syncs with Xbox Live automatically when it's connected with the service.
Note The console restart may take several minutes. If you were using a wired connection, plug your network cable back into the console. If you have never connected your console to the Internet, you will need to connect at least once during your system setup process.
Pressing the BIND and EJECT buttons at the same time forces the console to look for the USB drive update, as the console will not look for a USB drive unless it needs it. This helps to decrease console start times for all startups when this step is not needed.
The first power-up tone will occur approximately 10 seconds after powering up. This indicates that a USB update has been detected. The second power-up tone indicates that the update file has been copied and mounted. This is important, as it confirms you have a compatible Xbox One system update based on your current build. This informs the system which build is currently installed on the console, and whether the update is compatible with that build.
If you have tried all the troubleshooting steps in the Xbox One System Update Solution, and the Offline System Update Diagnostic Tool has also failed to resolve your system update issue, you'll need to submit a request to have your console repaired.
To submit a repair request, visit the Xbox Online Service Center.
Thanks for your feedback!

1953: Dominici Denies Murders: IN OUR PAGES: 100, 75 AND 50 YEARS AGO

DIGNE, France: Gaston Dominici, the farmer who once confessed killing all three members of the Drummond family, today [Dec. 30] continued to deny having anything to do with the triple slaying. A son who withdrew his accusation against his father this morning, later in the day said he had lied and that Gaston really had slain the trio. An assistant prosecutor said that the old farmer and his two sons, Gustave and Clovis, were questioned again and that Gaston "persisted in his repudiation of his previous confession."

Ringgit Weakens for Second Day Before Fed Decision; Bonds Climb
Malaysia's ringgit weakened, extending its retreat from a four-month high, before the outcome of a Federal Reserve meeting that may shed light on when U.S. monetary stimulus will be cut. Sovereign bonds rose.
The ringgit has gained 3.6 percent this month, the best performance among Asia's most-traded 11 currencies, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The Federal Open Market Committee concludes a two-day policy review today. The Fed will start paring its $85 billion of monthly bond purchases in March, according to analysts surveyed Oct. 17-18 by Bloomberg.
"We have the FOMC decision tonight and from that point of view, we're probably seeing some positions that are profitable being taken off the table," said Khoon Goh, a Singapore-based strategist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. "We have had some good gains in the ringgit."
The ringgit weakened 0.1 percent to 3.1472 per dollar as of 5:14 p.m. in Kuala Lumpur, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It touched 3.1232 on Oct. 28, the strongest level since June 17. One-month implied volatility, a measure of expected moves in the exchange rate used to price options, was little changed at 7.82 percent.
The Malaysian currency rallied in October as the government announced a consumption tax and scrapped sugar subsidies in its 2014 budget to trim a fiscal shortfall it has run since 1998. The measures, which were unveiled Oct. 25, would be credit positive if fully implemented, although structural fiscal weaknesses and policy execution risks remain, Moody's Investors Service analyst Christian de Guzman, who is based in Singapore, wrote in an Oct. 28 report.
Gross domestic product will increase 5 percent to 5.5 percent in 2014 from an estimated 4.5 percent to 5 percent in 2013, the finance ministry said in an Oct. 25 report. Malaysia's economic growth must be sustainable and "fiscal consolidation is part and parcel of that," Prime Minister Najib Razak told reporters at a conference in London yesterday.
The yield on Malaysia's 3.172 percent sovereign bonds due July 2016 fell two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 3.11 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

George Chauncey: The Long Road to Marriage Equality
George Chauncey, a professor of history and American studies at Yale, was an expert witness in both same-sex marriage cases decided Wednesday.NEW HAVEN — THE Supreme Court's soaring decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act as unconstitutional is a civil rights landmark, but the history leading up to it is poorly understood. Marriage equality was neither inevitable nor, until recently, even conceivable. And the struggle to secure it was not, as is commonly believed, a natural consequence of the gay liberation movement that gained steam in the late 1960s.It was not until the 1980s that securing legal recognition for same-sex relationships became an urgent concern of lesbians and gay men. In the 1950s, such recognition was almost unimaginable. Then, most states criminalized gay people's sexual intimacy. Newspaper headlines blared the State Department's purge of homosexual employees during the McCarthy-era "lavender scare." Police cracked down on lesbian and gay bars and other alleged "breeding grounds" of homosexuality.

School officials and child care advocates have targeted for defeat the section of a Senate bill that would allow adults to conceal firearms inside their vehicles on school property.
The language, proposed by state Rep. Jim Lucas, R-Seymour, was inserted into Senate Bill 229 last week and cleared the full House on Monday.
The measure now must survive a House-Senate conference committee to ensure it reaches the desk of Gov. Mike Pence for his signature.

We went to Early Steps (0-3) today about DS hearing loss.� We already have 2 hearing evals showing moderate hearing loss.
They did their tests and agreed that he has defencies in Receptive and Expressive Communication.� (Which we already knew)
Then they told me they don't do ABR testing (which is what he needs next), but they can offer once a week speech therapy (he already goes somewhere 2x a week).
I asked her about the results and she said she thought he had conductive haring loss, that the ABR would tell.� So I asked what to do (currently no insurance).� She said if it was SN loss that he would get hearing aides.
She said to just talk to him more and to get down right next to him to talk.
What I got home my neighbor was outside who was a techer and used to be a speech pathologist.� He said that sounded like someone was dropping the ball.
I've now had 3 or 4 different "experts" tell me he can't hear well.� Surely there are more options than to just talk to him more and yell in his ear??

Actually not a bad idea, but all of these "don't text and drive" ads smell of scams devised exclusively for award shows from a mile away. It's not even for a car brand or safety organization, it's a newspaper, for crying out loud. "We hate bad news", very subtle. I guess you could do the same ad for Oreo and use a tagline like "accidents don't taste so good" right?

The concept or, if one prefers, the "phenomenon" of religion is evidently somewhat indeterminate. It has clear instances: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and so on; but, and this is why "and so on" is not very helpful, there are less clear cases, such as Taoism, and progressively more doubtful ones, for example Falun Gong, the Aquarian Foundation, and Scientology.
The Web site adherents.com lists more than four thousand "religions, churches, denominations, religious bodies, faith groups, tribes, cultures, movements, ultimate concerns, etc."-notice again the terminal drift into vagueness marked by "etc." Even restricting oneself to more or less clear cases, though, there are vast numbers of religious believers throughout the world. Indeed, of the 6.5 billion humans on the globe, about 80 percent belong to recognized religions, about 33 percent are Christians, holding allegiance to teachings only formulated quite recently in the history of humankind, and half of the latter are Roman Catholics. Arguably nothing compares with religion as a domain of commitment, and no other extensive commitment so unifies humanity, even when it divides it. What then explains the origins of religion and its power to have and to hold the allegiance of so many?
One answer is that religion gives expression to a universal need to acknowledge and respond to a sense of cosmic order and what theologians often call human "...

Blood is a valuable tissue containing cellular populations rich in information regarding the immediate immune and inflammatory status of the body. Blood leukocytes or white blood cells (WBCs) provide an ideal sample to monitor systemic changes and understand molecular signaling mechanisms in disease processes. Blood samples need to be processed to deplete contaminating erythrocytes or red blood cells (RBCs) and sorted into different WBC sub-populations prior to analysis. This is typically accomplished using immuno-affinity protocols which result in undesirable activation. An alternative is size based sorting which by itself is unsuitable for WBCs sorting due to size overlap between different sub-populations. To overcome this limitation, we investigated the possibility of using controlled osmotic exposure to deplete and/or create a differential size increase between WBC populations. Using a new microfluidic cell docking platform, the response of RBCs and WBCs to deionized (DI) water was evaluated. Time lapse microscopy confirms depletion of RBCs within 15 s and creation of > 3 μm size difference between lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes. A flow through microfluidic device was also used to expose different WBCs to DI water for 30, 60 and 90 s to quantify cell loss and activation. Results confirm preservation of ∼ 100% of monocytes, granulocytes and loss of ∼ 30% of lymphocytes (mostly CD3+/CD4+) with minimal activation. These results indicate feasibility of this approach for monocyte, granulocyte and lymphocyte (sub-populations) isolation based on size.

Second Trimester 1stTrimester 3rd Trimester
172 days to go...
Your baby today
Now the toes are lengthening and a gentle arch to the foot is beginning to take shape. Your baby can grasp her feet at will but has difficulty bringing them up to her mouth: this is not a problem a little later in pregnancy.
It's time for another routine prenatal appointment to ensure everything is progressing well with you and your baby.
You may have another prenatal appointment at around 16 weeks, if you had your last appointment at around 12 weeks. You'll be weighed.
Your urine will be tested, and your blood pressure measured, as well as the baby's heart rate monitored. Furthermore, the doctor should be able to hear your baby's heartbeat (see You are 16 Weeks and 4 Days), which can be very reassuring.
Women who do not have the nuchal translucency scan at around 11-14 weeks, may be offered one of two blood tests, known as the triple test or quadruple test, which are screening tests for Down syndrome.
This appointment also offers you an opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have, and your doctor will report the results of the routine tests (see Routine blood tests) you had at your first prenatal appointment, or shortly thereafter.
If your blood test results show that your hemoglobin levels were low, you may be offered a prescription for iron.
As A Matter Of Fact
Maternity wear first appeared around the middle of the 19th century.
At this time a prudish society felt that pregnancy should be hidden. For this same reason, and for the well-being of mother and child, women were encouraged to stay in bed in the weeks leading up to the birth.
Focus On... Your body
Does my belly look big in this?You'll need to choose clothes that accommodate your growing belly, but that doesn't have to mean investing in a whole new maternity wardrobe just yet. The following innovations will help keep you comfortable and extend the life of your normal clothes for a few weeks at least:
- Pregnancy support pants: these stretch with you and ease the strain on your lower back, while giving you a smoother outline.
- Pants expander: an elastic belt that enables you to wear your jeans with a burgeoning belly. Alternatively, loop a hairband-or, for extra girth, a slice cut from a pair of tights-around the button, through the buttonhole and back.
- Belly band: a wide band of stretchy fabric that you wear on your belly, to conceal the gap between your top and waistband.
- Bra extenders: hook on to the fastening at the back of your bra to add up to 3 in (8 cm).
- Borrowing: you can borrow clothes from your partner or friends who are slightly larger than you.

Fragmentation of U.S. Equities Market Criticized in SEC Panels
Investors, traders and regulators underappreciate the harm caused by the fragmentation of trading across a dozen public markets with different rules and conventions, said Dave Cummings of Tradebot Systems Inc.
"The market is still very broken and I think the changes we've put in place don't go far enough," said Cummings, who's chairman at Tradebot, an automated proprietary trading firm in Kansas City, Missouri. "When you introduce bad data because of ridiculous quotes, that ripples through the whole system and into other markets." Tradebot accounts for 5 percent to 10 percent of daily equities volume, according to Cummings, who also founded Bats Global Markets, an exchange operator.
A report published by securities and futures regulators on May 18 found six potential causes of the May 6 plunge, which wiped out $862 billion of stock value in 20 minutes. One of the reasons was disparate trading rules on different markets. The Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission held their second meeting yesterday to discuss problems caused by the interplay of multiple venues.
SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro raised concerns at the meeting about differing trading conventions, including mechanisms that slow down trading on individual markets and a rule that allows venues to ignore prices on rival exchanges if they perceive problems with their executions or get slow responses to buy and sell requests.
"The U.S. equities market is so complex normally that when you add in a situation like May 6 the complexity turns into confusion," said Matt Schrecengost, chief operating officer at Jump Trading LLC, a proprietary trading firm in Chicago. "The only responsible thing to do as a trader is to shut down."
Accenture at a Penny
Jump stopped submitting bids and offers to exchanges on the afternoon of May 6. Other market makers and high-frequency trading firms also scaled back business when volatility surged that day and stocks such as Accenture Plc and Exelon Corp. traded as low as a 1 cent. Accenture closed at $38.24 yesterday, while Exelon fetched $39.75.
Schapiro asked whether the market could suffer if venues introduce their own versions of a mechanism that slows down trading in volatile stocks only on the New York Stock Exchange. NYSE's program converts automated executions into human-overseen electronic auctions. Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. last month proposed its own measure that would pause trading when a stock rises or falls a set amount in 30 seconds.
Didn't Exacerbate
NYSE's program offers a "differentiated" service to companies listed on the exchange and didn't exacerbate problems on May 6, said Joe Mecane, executive vice president and co-head of U.S. listing and cash execution at NYSE Euronext. "We're mixing some competitive arguments with some market structure arguments." He added that changes shouldn't be introduced to alter the "competitive dynamics" among trading venues.
"There must be consistency regarding how the markets work, and how market participants conduct themselves, to prevent market turbulence from turning into market tragedy," said William O'Brien, chief executive officer at Direct Edge Holdings LLC. One of the risks that can accompany innovation by markets is confusion, he added.
Brokers also deserve scrutiny for decisions about how they routed orders during a time of stress, Mecane said. Market orders, or requests to buy and sell shares at any level, sent into the marketplace on May 6 led to 21,800 trades more than 60 percent away from their price before the plunge being canceled hours later.
"We can put a lot of Band-Aids in place to prevent people from hurting themselves," Mecane said. Still, he added, "someone had responsibility for those orders that caused the damage in the marketplace."
The SEC is considering whether exchanges or brokers could install constraints that would put a limit on the price at which market orders execute. Mechanisms that do this exist on some equities and futures venues.
Stock exchanges recently introduced a new program of circuit breakers for stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. Panelists suggested that such fixes, while necessary to address problems caused by the fragmentation of markets, could also cause more volatility or new frictions for traders.
O'Brien, whose firm is based in Jersey City, New Jersey, and Joe Ratterman, CEO of Bats Global Markets in Kansas City, said constraints that prevent trading in a declining stock from occurring below a certain level and executions when shares are rising from taking place above a price should eventually be introduced instead of trading halts. These steps could reduce volatility without preventing the shares from trading, they said.
200 ETFs
The circuit-breaker program will be expanded to at least 200 exchange-traded funds this summer, according to James Ross, a senior managing director at state Street Global Advisors, the second-biggest manager of ETFs.
CME Group Inc. Chief Executive Officer Craig Donohue yesterday raised concerns about that expansion to products such as the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust and SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust. ETFs accounts for 70 percent of securities with trades on May 6 that were later canceled.
In the current interconnected market, trading halts in ETFs could cause a "de-linkage" between those prices, futures based on the security and the value of the underlying index, Donohue said. "Our customers would not like that result," he said.
The idea of halting broad-based ETFs should be discussed "collectively" by executives in equities and futures markets and index calculators, Donohue said. CME created a joint venture with Dow Jones & Co., which operates 130,000 stock indexes including the benchmark Dow Jones Industrial Average. The exchange's E-mini S&P 500 futures is the Merc's biggest equity index contract, trading more than 2.2 million contracts daily last year.
