im 36 weeks pregnant and my baby has missed beats :/.... ?

Q. Im 36 weeks pregnant and my baby has missed heartbeats audible on the monitor :/ This means that his heart is skipping a beat now and then. The hospital midwife says theres nothing they can do yet but What does this mean? Is it bad? what can it be? any help would be appreciated thank you x
I have had a midwife hear the heartbeat skipping but they cannot tell what it will be when my baby is born :/ what could it be? :/

A. That doesn't mean that it is a sign for an unborn baby. I would go to a Dr and let them do an ultrasound on the baby or possibly a 3G ultrasound where they can see more just to make sure the baby does not have any type of heart problem. You would want to know this and be able to prepare for that if baby were to be born with a heart condition more than not, and waiting to see.
Good luck


How can I hook up my PC to a wireless 3G network?
Q. My area supposedly has excellent 3G coverage but I bought a Sierra Mercury USB device and could not get it to transfer at more than 14 kbps. The indicator found the 3G network but the signal was only 1-2 bars. Yet 1/4 mile down the road on Dad's PC it transferred extremely fast. Needless to say I returned it. Is the problem the device? Reception? The satellite service I have is only 256 service and even it transfers up to 70 kbps at times so I know it's not my computer.

A. Wow there are a number of reasons for this issue, and without having the actual laptop and device in front of me, and at the location in question, I can only be general in my answer.

I assume you have AT&T as this is the USB device that Sierra Wireless is making for them with the new name of Mercury. You may want to check your providers website for the zip code you are in, and how many transmitters/receivers there are for your type of 3G connection.

The most likely cause of the 3G problems is between the antenna and an amplifier that captures very weak signals from the antenna. This could lead to poor 3G connectivity and slower data speeds as witnessed by the weak signal of only 1 or 2 bars. The amp can only amplify so much before too much data is lost.

The Mercury is compatible with Windows7 Mobile Broadband, Vista, XP, 2000, Mac OS X 10.4 or later. A Firmware update may help, just go to the www.sierrawireless.com website for the update for the Sierra Wireless Compass 885 as that is the model the Mercury is.

Make sure that any software that came with the device is configured for optimum performance based on the data plan you have with your provider. Also be aware there may be fine print in your contract limiting your speed, data usage, or when you try to connect on other providers networks. Also make sure the Laptop you are using is optimally configured for wireless connections and networking settings are tweaked.

The computer case itself can be a significant barrier to the Wi-Fi signal - try positioning the case so it doesn't come between the the device the possible direction of any antennas. Also there my be environmental impacting issues. RFI (Electromagnetic interference or EMI, also called Radio Frequency Interference) can be caused by any number of things such as High Power Lines, Broadcast transmitters, two-way radio transmitters, paging transmitters, and cable TV are potential sources of RFI and EMI. Other possible sources of interference include a wide variety of devices, such as doorbell transformers, toaster ovens, electric blankets, ultrasonic pest control devices, electric bug zappers, heating pads, and touch controlled lamps. Multiple CRT computer monitors or televisions sitting too close to one another can sometimes cause a "shimmy" effect in each other, due to the electromagnetic nature of their picture tubes, especially when one of their de-gaussing coils is activated.

Electromagnetic interference at 2.4 GHz can be caused by 802.11b and 802.11g wireless devices, Bluetooth devices, baby monitors and cordless telephones, video senders, and microwave ovens.

3G uses HARQ(Hybrid automatic repeat-request) a incremental redundancy, where user data is transmitted multiple times using different codings. When a corrupted packet is received, the user device saves it and later combines it with the retransmissions, to recover the error-free packet as efficiently as possible. Even if the retransmitted packets are corrupted, their combination can yield an error-free packet. The weaker a signal the more opportunities there are for packet corruption. More packets re-sent slows down speed.


Shy Baby Goldfish Extra Words to Make 20 Characters?
Q. I just recently picked up a pair of baby goldfish, one is a 2" shubunkin and the other is a 1" fantail/shubunkin hybrid. Their final home is my 55 gallon 'goldfish' tank that currently houses my two fantail goldfish both of which are about 6-7 inches in length. The new goldfish are currently in a cycled half filled 20 gallon 'hospital tank' undergoing monitoring due to the fact they were gotten from a less than reputable breeder and I'm watching them for signs of illness.
I have never gotten goldfish this small (my smallest was about 2.5 inches and not NEARLY this skittish) or from this source before so I have a few questions. First off, these two little guys are VERY shy. They spend 90% of their time hiding however possible. I have some floating plants that I used in my tropical tank to protect fry that I've put into their tank to help them feel more secure but they are both still very skittish. I've had them about 3 days now and all they do is hide is this normal? Also, I have some tiny sinking pellets that will easily fit in their mouths. The only problem is I have yet to get them to eat anything. Again, is this normal?
I was wondering, would it be more beneficial to me to transfer them on a VERY temporary basis to a 3g to help not only monitor them but also hopefully help them find/eat their food? If that is a bad idea should/could I put them in the 55g with the other 2 goldfish? Would the larger goldfish pick on them? I would have to feed a mixture of the large and baby goldfish pellets but would being in a larger school like setting help put their little baby nerves at ease?

Someone suggested putting them in the 3g to feed then putting them back into the aquarium but I worry that would stress their poor tiny bodies even more. If I put them in the 3g it would be for a couple weeks till I was sure they were eating and not sick.

A. I do not recommend moving your goldfish to a smaller tank. Your 20 gallon is a perfect holding tank for their quarantine period. I would even consider using the 20 gallon to grow them up a bit before adding them into the 55. However, eventually once the new fish grow they may bully your fancy goldfish. It's commonly suggested that you shouldn't keep both comet-type goldfish in with fancies.

It's common for new fish to hide all the time and even to refuse food. Any animal is going to be very cautious in a new environment. Give them about a week to settle in. When you do feed them, try something like frozen bloodworms or krill. It's more tempting than a pellet.
