If you ever thought, "My bite just doesn't feel right." Well, it most likely isn't. However, most dentists have no clue how to diagnose nor treat this. The reason for this is that most insurances don't cover this procedure. And if it doesn't have anything to do with cleaning teeth, filling teeth, drilling crowns or bridges, then dentists won't aspire to do this.
I hope you learn something new after watching this video.
I recently had lots of dental work done and now my bite is off. I've been back for adjustments 4-5 times, but my dentist now seems reluctant to help me any further. He says my bite is fine, but it certainly does not feel that way. I had problems with my TMJ years ago and those symptoms seem to be coming back: pain in the joint, and jaw area, although no headaches (yet). I've been wearing my night guard all day now to help ease the pain, I can't take anymore NSAIDs because of my stomach.
I've also been feeling a lot of increased pain since my last appointment when a crown was replaced. The permanent crown has been placed and there is no way I can bite down on it (#19), it's much too painful.
My dentist says I just need to give it time to settle down. It's been 2 weeks, I don't know what to do.

Springboks know chances against Wales will be few and far between – Reuters
For all of South Africa's physical dominance of Japan in their Rugby World Cup quarter-final on Sunday, the Springboks are aware that they were lucky to get away with a 26-3 win after they squandered several point-scoring opportunities.
Rassie Erasmus's side face Wales in a semi-final next Sunday in Yokohama where they are unlikely to get as many chances against the Six Nations champions. "We must find those pressure points … (and) when we get the opportunity, we must utilise them," Erasmus said after his side wasted three or four chances to put their quarter-final beyond doubt by halftime. "Then we have a chance." The Springboks have not advanced to the World Cup final since they lifted the Webb Ellis trophy in Paris in 2007, and at times in the first half they were scrambling against a fast-paced Japanese side in the cool Tokyo conditions.
The key to their victory, however, was laid in that troubled first half when the much bigger Springboks hurt the Japanese in the collisions. In previous matches the home side were able to get quickly to their feet, but on Sunday it was noticeable how many stayed down or rose slowly, holding their ribs, shoulders and lower backs due to the impact of the collisions. By the second half the Japanese side looked like the walking wounded. While they never gave up, the Springboks ground them down and scrumhalf Faf de Klerk's try following a 30-metre-plus rolling maul sent an emphatic message.
"South Africa were just too physical. They just bashed the shit out of us," Japan winger Lomano Lemeki said. "You can't use all your energy if you're the smaller team trying to stop the big guys. We knew they were going to come out and try to bully us. We just couldn't adapt to what they did." Lemeki said they had used their speed and managed to breach South Africa's defensive line, but the Springboks scrambled well and Erasmus said he was happy with the way his team were playing. "I know a lot of people see a few holes in our defence, but we trust our system," Erasmus said.
"We know defence is a pretty important thing if you want to win the World Cup. We have good confidence in our defence system." Wales are unlikely to provide the same sort of challenge in terms of their speed on Sunday. But they also have a strong defence, only conceding 69 points in their four games in Pool D, which included Australia and Fiji. They will also be better-suited to face the Springboks up front, and discipline will therefore be paramount, according to de Klerk. "If we can keep our discipline down to at least six penalties or less, that's going to be a big thing for us," he said.
"It's going to be a tight game."

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (September 12, 2018) – B.J. McLeod Motorsports (BJMM) announced today that 2017 CARS Tour Super Late Model Champion, Cole Rouse, will make his NASCAR XFINITY Series debut this Saturday, September 15, 2018 at Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway.
In 2015, Rouse burst onto the Super Late Model scene with a dominating performance in the All-American 400 at Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville located in Nashville, Tenn. Unfortunately, a late race mechanical failure relegated him to a 5th-place finish. In 2016, he competed in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West (NKNPSW) for Sunrise Ford Racing. He scored 4 top-5's, 12 top 10's and finished 8th in series points. History would repeat itself at Winchester (Ind.) Speedway in 2017, when he led the first 118 laps of Winchester 400 before a mechanical failure ended his shot at victory. Despite the heartbreak, 2017 was a very successful season, scoring two wins, 5 top 5's and 9 top 10s and 1 pole award, propelling him to the 2017 CARS Tour Super Late Model Championship, driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports.
The 21-year-old Fort Smith, Ark., native currently competes full-time in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series for Bill McAnally Racing. He sits 4th in NKNPSW points with just a few events remaining in the 2018 season, including Thursday's Star Nursery 100 at the Las Vegas Speedway Dirt Track.
Supporting Rouse's NXS debut will be Lumber One and Elite Roofing. For more information about BJMM please visit www.bjmcleodmotorsports.com.


For one couple, getting what they want comes at a devastating price in this gripping debut thriller.
Banking heiress Trish and her husband, James, seem to have it all, from a lavish lifestyle to a historic mansion in the nation's capital. The only thing that's missing to make their family complete is a baby, so when Trish holds Anne Elise in her arms for the first time, it's no surprise that she falls deeply in love. There's just one problem: Trish isn't the mother.
The baby belongs to Laurel, James's young mistress. And more than that, James and Laurel want to start a new life together—despite an ironclad prenup standing in their way. When Trish becomes dangerously obsessed with making Laurel's baby her own, the lovers' plan to break James's marriage quickly goes awry. How far is each of them willing to go for happiness?


Ezine articles may take a elflike longest to arrange than your medium forum post, but in my opinion, the benefits far out-way the smack taste formulation of the latter. At the instance of writing, I had 19 active articles through this parcel of land unsocial. Not extremely important-looking you may say, but regard the wider watercolour and I am convinced that you will come with to a distinguishable determination.
Firstly the fundamental justification that somebody writes articles or refer in forum's is to get golf course to their own site or product, that's the singular way to form money online. Even the privileged sites don't status notably on Google or opposite investigate engines without back-links but more measurable is the part of them. For example, if I were to share to a communal that discussed the leaders way to wipe dairy product on toast, and in my name was a link to a wake making site, the algorithms that evaluate its meriting won't fix it terrifically notably. In expressions of individuals viewing your bash to snare them to your web folio it is efficaciously senseless and a more useful thread will beyond question have many a more alternatives previously yours. Also, galore look into engines don't compute golf course on forum pages.
The happy of any article you write should be side by side hard to your own pages, not lonesome will this deliver the goods a more check out engine location but it will put under a spell accumulation more suited to your substance. Real hits parsimonious genuine clicks and concrete clicks is where the lucre is to be recovered.
So why is my 19 articles more than useful than my meeting posts? Simple, it may solitary be a few articles that took a unimportant instance and try to write, but they are published complete 250 times, and all leaf containing them has my novelist life beside a contact to my own setting. Better than that, they will unimpeachably be published on sites that are connected to the article listing and thus in spin around my own pages since whoever chooses to use them is superficial for complacent related to their own scene or web log.
My determination is simple, meeting posts may prize you with a temporary peep by whatsoever wool viewers, but a recovered graphic article published on keyword concomitant sites will create much targeted hits which are much probable to be converted into the backing you are want.

Page Peaks is a 10,929-foot-elevation (3,331 meter) mountain summit located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, in Mono County of northern California, United States. The mountain is set in the Hoover Wilderness on land managed by Humboldt–Toiyabe National Forest. The summit is situated one mile outside the boundary of Yosemite National Park, and less than one mile east of line parent Camiaca Peak. Topographic relief is significant as the east aspect rises  above East Lake in one-quarter mile. This landform's toponym, which commemorates a miner and prospector named Page, has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.

Climate
Page Peaks is located in an alpine climate zone. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Sierra Nevada mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks  (orographic lift), causing moisture in the form of rain or snowfall to drop onto the range. Precipitation runoff from this mountain drains into East Lake, thence West Fork Green Creek, which is a tributary of the Walker River.

India's top science institution is trying hard to fix its "manel" problem
B Chagun Basha is a science, technology and innovation policy fellow at Bengaluru's Indian Institute of Science's (IISc) Centre for Policy Research established by the department of science & technology (DST-CPR).
The blog post was published in Quartz India on August 16, 2019. Sunil Abraham was quoted. This piece was originally published on Connect under the headline, "We Learned (The Hard Way) Not to Have Manels."
While organising an event at IISc, he and his colleagues realised they hadn't paid much thought to gender inclusivity until it was explicitly pointed out to them that there were no women in their event. That sparked some introspection, as well as actions to ensure that this wasn't repeated. In this interview, he talks about the incident and important lessons from it.
How did you first hear of the term manel?
It was when I was organising my first event of an academic nature. Every year, DST-CPR marks International Open Access Week by planning activities for the entire week, and having a panel discussion is a major part of it. We bring in experts to sensitise people about topics related to open access and how we can incorporate it in our institute through a bottom-up approach.
In October 2017, when International Open Access Week came round, we collaborated with six other groups to organise it. We had a poster competition, a panel discussion, and a few other activities like engaging with the student community about open access and how they could play a role in promoting it.
A week before the panel discussion was scheduled, we had confirmed the participation of all our speakers—five male speakers and one female speaker. The female speaker had not been included out of a conscious effort to ensure gender diversity—she happened to be on the list of names we came up with, we had written to all of them, and they had agreed to come. But a few days before the panel discussion, we received an email from her saying that she would not be able to join us.
We didn't think it was a big deal. Instead of six participants we would have five, one of whom would be the moderator. Sunil Abraham of the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS) had already confirmed that he would be the moderator. He sent us an email asking for details of the panelists, so that he could communicate with them and plan and structure the discussion. But when we sent him the details, he immediately got back to us saying that he wouldn't be able to participate in this panel discussion.
I was a little shocked—you can replace a panelist at the last minute, but finding a new moderator to curate a discussion is harder as doing so requires in-depth knowledge of this space and familiarity with open access policies at different levels. I asked Sunil what had happened—why did he have to pull out? He said that CIS had a written policy that was followed strictly: members could not participate in "manels"—a word I was hearing for the very first time. I didn't even catch it properly when we spoke on the phone. Then he explained to me that if there was a panel on which there were only men and no women panelists—which are called "manels"—then people from his organisation avoided them completely.
I realised that as an organiser of an event, I wasn't even thinking about being inclusive.
I realised that as an organiser of an event, I wasn't even thinking about being inclusive. So we requested Sunil to suggest names of women speakers whom we could approach. I realise now that it was not a good thing to do—when somebody points out that there are no women on your panel, and for those reasons they are not going to participate, you should try harder to rectify this at your end, and not dump the responsibility for this on the person who pointed it out in the first place.
We should have put in genuine effort from our end to learn more about other women in the field whom we could approach for the panel. But at the time Sunil generously agreed and gave us a list with 12 names. We contacted all of them: two people responded, one of whom—Padmini Ray Murray, who was a faculty member at the Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology—happened to be in Bengaluru and agreed to participate at short notice. We were really thankful for that.
The panel discussion went off smoothly, and at the end we gave a vote of thanks, where we acknowledged our goof-up, thanked Sunil for bringing it to our notice, and we promised the audience sitting in Faculty Hall, which included the Director of NCBS and the Deputy Director of IISc, that we wouldn't run any more manels. We said we would consciously include more women in all events we organised from then on—not just panel discussions but talks, workshops and so on. That's more or less an official decision we took for CPR.
Did you feel like you were being put on the spot at the time?
We would often ask our superiors to suggest names for events or scout for people on our own, but actively thinking about including people of all genders was something we never really did. Now it feels like something that is really important.
And an interesting thing happened after the vote of thanks that year: other people who had been in the audience and worked in other institutes or other departments at IISc came up to talk to us during the tea break. Like us, previously they thought it wasn't important to think about who was being invited as panelists, but they began to see it was important too.
Has that changed how you planned subsequent events?
Two months after that panel discussion, we organised a workshop. On the final day of the workshop, we presented information on how many male and female participants applied, and how many of each we selected (women formed a little over 50% of those selected). That was our indirect way of letting people know that we took gender into consideration during our selection process.
In October 2018, when International Open Access Week came around again, we organised a panel discussion as well as an event called the Global Equity Forum for librarians, because they play a key role in making open access a reality at the institutional level. We consciously included women for both events, and not just because they were women. We realised that if you put in a little effort, you can easily find competent people of all genders without having to select people only for representation's sake.
What about the people you mentioned earlier, who came up after the panel to ask you about including more women—do you know if they ever followed up on it?
Since the 2017 panel, others have made an effort to have equal numbers on men and women in panels too. It's been like a chain reaction—some of those who attended our panel discussion took notice and kept it in mind when they organised events themselves. For now, though, ensuring gender diversity has depended on the efforts of the individual organisers. What happens when they leave and others take their place?
I think we need to put forth a policy at an IISc-wide level for events organised on campus so that we can ensure balanced representation of women—not just on stage, but among participants of events like seminars and workshops as well. Leaving it up to personal decisions means that it may not be a sustained process, and that's why we need to work towards having it as a departmental policy or as an institutional policy. Of course we need to push for this as individuals, but we also need the leadership on board in order for this to materialise.
Ensuring equal representation for men and women in public events may seem like a small issue, but it drives bigger issues.
Ensuring equal representation for men and women in public events may seem like a small issue, but it drives bigger issues. Everybody is supportive of gender equality and inclusion of women at some abstract level, but if we really want that to happen, it has to start at small levels and at different stages. That's a key thing we learned from organising the 2017 panel—that it had to start with us. Inclusion in panel discussions and events is just one of the stages at which it can happen.
In an academic set-up, dialogue is one way of engaging with a larger audience. You also have events, exams, student participation, and many other such avenues at which it happens, right? We have to address inclusion at all levels. If we have a policy about gender inclusion in events on campus, it could pave the way for policies on gender inclusion in other areas like intake of students, picking members of faculty, picking members of decision-making committees, and so on.
We have to start somewhere, and we can't rely on easy excuses not to act. It's a fundamental issue that really needs to be addressed—and maybe then it will become the norm, and open our eyes to the need for other kinds of inclusion as well.

Dosimetric Comparison of CT Compatible Plastic Cones to Traditional Metal Cones for IntraOp Radiation Therapy
S Jain1*, A Steinmann1, J Woollard1, N Gupta1, A Ayan1, (1) The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Columbus, OH
S Jain
Current workflow for Intra Operative Radiation Therapy (IORT) with Mobetron (IntraOp Medical) relies on hand calculations based on the prescription dose and depth, cone size and bevel. Radiance (a Monte Carlo treatment planning system) allows for treatment planning based on CT images of the patient with the cone attached. In this study, we compare CT-compatible plastic cones to metal cones that are currently used clinically, to characterize the clinical impact of transitioning to the new plastic cones.
Percent Depth Dose, inline and crossline profiles for metal and plastic cones with 6MeV, 9MeV and 12MeV beams were taken in a PTW MP3 Water Phantom System using a Markus Electron chamber. Profiles were measured at depths ranging from 10mm to 30mm for 4cm, 6cm, 8cm and 10cm flat cones. The outputs at d(max) for 10cm flat cones were also measured. The following metrics were compared: depths at various doses in the PDDs (R30, R50, R80, R90 and R100), dosimetric field size (Full Width at Half Max), flatness and penumbra extent (d80 – d20 mm).
The average difference in depth values from the PDDs were 0.81±0.65mm (6MeV), 0.86±0.15 mm (9MeV) and 1.37±1.46 mm (12MeV). The differences in field sizes were less than 0.1mm; flatness differences were within 2% for all cones except 4cm cones, where they were within 2-3%. The average differences in penumbra of the plastic cone profiles as compared to commissioning data were -0.77±0.65 mm (6MeV), -0.79±0.43 mm (9MeV) and -0.72±0.28 mm (12MeV). Output measurements were 4.6%, 4.8% and 3.5% higher for the metal cones at 6, 9 and 12MeV respectively.
This work established dosimetric equivalency of metal and plastic cones, demonstrating their potential use in CT-based IORT, and a transition for clinics to the new cones without any re-commissioning impact.

SkySQL to become MariaDB Corporation
New Branding Reflects Commitment to the MariaDB Database and Its Global Community
S an Francisco & Helsinki — October 1st, 2014 — SkySQL, the MariaDB company, today announced it has changed its name to MariaDB Corporation. The name change will more closely associate the MariaDB open-source database with the company behind it. The change is effective immediately.
"In 2010, SkySQL was founded as an alternative service provider for Oracle MySQL users. Last year SkySQL merged with Monty Program, the company behind the MariaDB project," said Patrik Sallner, Chief Executive Officer at MariaDB Corporation Ab. "As the adoption of MariaDB has grown, SkySQL's business model has evolved to provide enterprise-grade products and services to over 2 million MariaDB users. With this change, our goal is to get the brands aligned and to keep growing the MariaDB ecosystem."
"However, we recognise that most MariaDB users continue to also use MySQL. In addition, there is a large base of MySQL users that have yet to try MariaDB. We therefore remain committed to supporting customers in their use of both technologies under the new brand name MariaDB Corporation," said Sallner.
The MariaDB Foundation, and its mariadb.org community website, are unaffected by this change. MariaDB Corporation will change its corporate website from skysql.com to mariadb.com.
MariaDB is the open source, relational database developed by MySQL founder Michael "Monty" Widenius. Its popularity has grown rapidly among developers and IT professionals with ecosystem partners now including IBM, Red Hat, SUSE, Rackspace, HP, Intel and Fusion-io.
MariaDB adoption has shown an annual compound growth rate of 488% since its launch in 2009. Its common use cases include ecommerce, content management and delivery, mobile and social infrastructure, and user data management. MariaDB has particular strengths as the underlying database technology for building and managing Webscale applications.
About MariaDB Corporation
MariaDB Corporation is a leading open source relational database provider in the $10bn global market. Built by the luminaries behind the legendary MySQL project, its engineer-led team totals over half a millennium of transactional database technology experience. MariaDB is developed by a vibrant community that nurtures new talent and is committed to transparent innovation in order to achieve its aim of building the world's leading database platform for cloud.
With its adoption growing at an annual rate of over 400% since launch, MariaDB offers a solid alternative to the Big Four database vendors. Its technology spans SQL and NoSQL worlds, is cloud-ready and supports legacy MySQL applications. Today, MariaDB has over 2 million users globally and 500 customers in 30 countries, including global brands such as HP, Craigslist, Deutsche Telekom, Virgin Mobile and Booking.com. Open Source technology leaders such as Red Hat, SUSE, Rackspace and IBM have chosen MariaDB as their database of choice for their customers who include some of the world's largest enterprises.
MariaDB Corporation's CEO, Patrik Sallner, has written a blog about the company name change and challenges for FY15.

We are a producer of cylinder inserts and this production requires machines with high efficiency and precision at the same time. Combining this need with a willingness of renewing our machinery park we bought a Japanese lathe automatic machine Star with a storage and feeder device. The machine reduced the time of making semi-finished products for inserts several times, and ipso facto cleared the "narrow production throat".

Around the state: Tobacco to 21 Act good for Indiana, nation
The Herald-Times
Tobacco to 21 Act good for Indiana, nation
Despite widespread support for a proposal to raise the smoking age to 21 in Indiana, the measure stalled in the recently-concluded legislative session.
Here's hoping that a bipartisan bill introduced by U.S. Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind. — which would accomplish this goal nationally — succeeds.
The Tobacco to 21 Act would prohibit the sale of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, to anyone under the age of 21. Young noted in a recent phone interview that public health experts call the move an "incredibly impactful policy change."
Such action is sorely needed in the Hoosier state, where more than 1 in 5 Hoosier adults smoke cigarettes and where tobacco-related illnesses kill more than 11,000 Indiana residents each year. In addition to the human costs, there is the $2.93 billion in annual health care costs and the $3.17 billion productivity losses tied to smoking.
Young's bill also targets what he calls the "alarming rate" of teen-age use of vaping products. Among high school students nationally, usage increased 78 percent, from 11.7 percent in 2017 to 20.8 percent in 2018, according to U.S.Surgeon General Jerome Adams, formerly Indiana state health commissioner.
The Institute of Medicine says raising the minimum legal age of sale of tobacco products nationwide would result in 223,000 fewer premature deaths and 4.2 million fewer years of life lost for those born between 2000 and 2019. It would also reduce tobacco initiation among youth and lead to a 12 percent decrease in smoking prevalence.
The legislation is co-sponsored by Sens. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii; Dick Durbin, D-Ill.; and Mitt Romney, R-Utah.
Young says he believes that this issue is best addressed at the federal level. Doing so in piecemeal, state-by-state fashion encourages vendors in states that haven't raised the smoking age to set up shop near the border of states that have raised the age, "essentially rendering the policy much less effective," he says.
Public health groups, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network and American Heart Association, support the Tobacco to 21 Act. Matthew Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, said that "As 95 percent of adult smokers start smoking before turning 21, this legislation will help prevent young people from using tobacco and save lives."
In a state that has been devastated by the effects of tobacco, the Tobacco to 21 Act sounds like part of the solution.

I am preparing to travel to St. Louis tomorrow for the Midwest Founders Conference where I will join Ray Van Neste and Phil Newton in speaking on Pastoral Ministry. Unfortunately, Dr. John Thornbury has had to back out of speaking due to health issues (from which, I understand, he is recovering well). Though the temperatures are expected to be about 60º colder than what I am leaving in SW Florida, the fellowship is always warm at this meeting. If you are in the St. Louis area, I encourage you to attend the conference or at least try to catch a session or two.
Please pray that the Lord will use this conference to strengthen to hands of pastors and to prosper the churches they serve.
Today is also the day that the Great Commission Resurgence Task Force (GCRTF) is giving its report to the Executive Committee of the SBC. Ronnie Floyd, the Chairman of the GCRTF will be leading the way in setting forth observations and recommendations that have been formulated since last June. Contrary to earlier, speculative bloviating by the crowd of chronic naysayers, the GCRTF is making this report available to the churches well in advance of the June convention in Orlando. You should be able to access it online tonight around 10:30 PM Eastern time.
Pray for the Executive Committee meeting today. And pray particularly that every God-honoring, Christ-exalting, pride-killing, kingdom-focused recommendation that the task force proposes will resonate with Southern Baptists who are tired of the denominational status quo and who are longing to link arms to take the gospel to the nations.


2017 is a special year for the Organization of the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) as it marks the 20 Anniversary of its establishment and also the 20 Anniversary of the entry into force of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the establishment of the OPCW and the entry into force of the Chemical weapons Convention (CWC) on 11 December, 2017 by lighting 1000 butter lamps at the National Memorial Chorten.
The OPCW is the implementing agency for the ewe which entered into force on 29 April 1997. Its mission is to implement the provisions of the CWC to achieve a world free of chemical weapons. The OPCW received the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of its efforts to eliminate chemical weapons.
Bhutan supports all efforts to promote general and complete disarmament. As a State Party to the CWC, and as a responsible member of the international community, Bhutan is committed to further the efforts of the OPCW to rid the world of chemical weapons and to prevent its production.
Bhutan acceded to the CWC on 18 August, 2005.


Originally published at Bold Strokes Books blog.
Forsaken Trust, the second book in the Luce Hansen thriller series, is about a serial murder case in Wallace Lake, Ohio. Four women have been found dead, all with a matching tattoo. The tattoo isn't the only element that connects the victims; these women have also been known drug addicts at some point in their adult lives. Special Agent Luce Hansen of the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Dr. Harper Bennett, and the rest of the team must determine if the serial killer is targeting women who are addicts or if it is simply a disturbing coincidence.
While Forsaken Trust is a work of fiction, as is the town of Wallace Lake, the crimes at the center of this novel are not. The opioid crisis rages wild in Ohio, and when it came time for me to research opioid abuse for Forsaken Trust, I didn't need to look far. My hometown of Dayton, located in Montgomery County, is regularly named the top city/county suffering from the opioid crisis that continues to plague the nation. Dayton/Montgomery County has become synonymous with the opioid and fentanyl overdoses in the media, even garnering a photograph portfolio by Philip Montgomery and Margaret Talbot in The New Yorker's October 30, 2017 issue.
It's hard to find anyone living in Montgomery County who doesn't know someone who has suffered from opioid addiction or died from it. Reverberations of this crisis are never far—regular updates on the county's Naloxone shortages and the overdose death rates headline the local news and papers. For a while, that's all that the crisis meant to me—updates on my local twitter feed and discussions about the issue with friends and neighbors. Then, just like so many others living in Montgomery County, the crisis closed in. I have learned about grade school friends and a neighbor who have since passed from opioid-related deaths. My oldest friend's brother recently passed from a cocaine and fentanyl mixture. And, this past March, a pilot and his wife were found overdosed by their eleven-year-old child not far from my home, catching national headlines. The couple became part of the enormous statistics (over 3,000 drug overdose deaths in the state of Ohio in 2016) that has led to an overload in the Montgomery County Coroner's Office that resulted in the storage of some bodies in refrigerated trailers.
There are many complicated reasons for the overdose rates in Montgomery County and why people are abusing opioids in the first place. Theories abound, and I don't want to get into those here. I am no expert on opioids or drug abuse—only a writer who wanted to feature some aspect of these enormous issues in her work.
Through my research, however, I became convinced that the ones forgotten in this tragedy are the children left behind. They are the voices that have so much to say but aren't always given the chance. I wanted to give these children a voice in the novel. After Luce Hansen and the Forensic Pathologist, Dr. Harper Bennett, solve the serial murders in the book, they don't walk away and leave the people of Wallace Lake to deal with its aftermath alone. When Wallace Lake County decides to build a teen center dedicated to the education and support of its young people, Hansen and Bennett become a regular presence at the facility. The center offers children help with addiction issues, health and education classes, as well as support groups for the victims of the opioid crisis. Hansen and Bennett participate by leading outdoor adventures with the teens such as kayaking, hiking, and skiing. Hansen and Bennett also become mentors to teens like Ava Washington, the young woman who finds two of the dead women, and others at the center in need of a listening ear. As Hansen sees it, her presence, along with others in law enforcement, is vital for change to occur in the Wallace Lake community.
I am not so naïve to think Forsaken Trust and a new teen center in this imagined town will make a difference in the opioid crisis. Fiction, of course, has its limits. But fiction has always been a space to examine real-world problems and to foster continued dialogue while investigating possible solutions. It's my hope Forsaken Trust will offer some readers the space to do just that.

Trail to victory
All about Goms
Benjamin Weger really ought to throw a snowball of gratitude into his companions' gardens in Geschinen every winter. It was their change of ski disciplines that set him off on the trail to success. "We were a bunch of real winter fanatics. And I've had a love for this season ever since," says the top-level biathlete from Goms, one of the 15 best in the world.
This is how it came about: at dusk, from the roofs with their huge snow overhangs, the boys used to perform somersaults into the snow-filled gardens below. What a laugh! At the weekends they went skiing on the slopes by the village. One day the older boys in the clique decided to give cross-country skiing a go. Benjamin Weger joined them – and found he really enjoyed it.
No wonder! The Goms trail comprises 90 kilometres of varying trails, some of which can stretch you to your limits, whereas others are more leisurely – and Benjamin Weger took to them straightaway. Back then, he achieved top results with little training. The ski club – and later also Swiss Ski – took him under their wings.
Alloy precision and fastness : the key of success for Benjamin Weger.
Delightful tour in the Pischienwald
The sunny high valley of Goms with its quaint, neatly compact villages is considered one of the best cross-country paradises anywhere. Benjamin Weger likes that fact that at 1300 metres above sea level, the trail is not restricted entirely to the forest. "Out in the open I can really turn on the speed; I have a sense of vastness that I don't get anywhere else," he says, as someone who has glided along many trails in far-off countries. He perfects his stamina on the uphill climbs. Since the opening of the Nordic Centre, the biathlete can also practice shooting in the neighbouring village of Ulrichen.
"On the cross-country trail in the Pischienwald near Oberwald, I sometimes spot fish in the Rotten river, as the young Rhône is called here. I feel really at ease in the peace and quiet of the open forest. A sip of clear water, what more do I need?" It takes quite a lot more than that to keep up with the world's top athletes in biathlon, which involves cross-country skiing combined with a shooting contest. Benjamin Weger is amazingly laid-back about the pressure. "To be always up at the front in biathlon is completely out of the question due to the complexity of the sport and density of the field."
The Goms valley and its quaint villages invite to quietude.
Greeting Grimsel and Gotthard
To some extent this mix of ambition and down-to-earth modesty reflects the character of Goms: the gently curving valley can be enjoyed in a host of different ways – in winter too. On his few free days, Weger will always be found out skiing. Galenstock: "What a view!"; Grimsel region: "Magnificent landscape"; Brudelhorn: "For connoisseurs". But he does other things too. Such as winter hikes from village to village, each of which is a stop on the Matterhorn Gotthard railway and benefits from its hourly service. "I make the most of the few winter days at home to recharge my batteries," he says. Then he permits himself to enjoy Cholera, the potato-onion-cheese quiche pie that is much in demand as a speciality of Goms, and not only in the winter.
But his favourite dish has never hurt his sprints: he gives it all he's got until his "lungs, thighs and arms are burning". This accomplished athlete, who goes fly-fishing in summer at the lake in Geschinen and enjoys a swim in one of the seven lakes in the Grimsel region, has become a sporting icon for many young Goms cross-country skiers. And a symbol of the new Goms. Sports-keen, dynamic, with much appreciation of the pleasurable things in life, and with the unique kind of snug cosiness that only sun-scorched wooden houses with metre-thick blankets of snow on the roof can convey.

Have you ever had the urge for brownies and you didn't have any brownie mix on hand? Don't lie…you know you have. Trust me, I know the feeling.
And I have searched for an easy recipe to make at a desperate time like that…and I found one that I enjoy and actually tastes even better the next day!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 8 inch square pan.
In a medium bowl, combine butter and cocoa powder – stir until cocoa is dissolved. Add sugar, mix well. Add eggs, one at a time and stir until well combined. Stir in vanilla, flour and salt – stirring only until you see no more flour (don't over mix).
Spread into greased pan and bake for about 25 minutes. They are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. You really don't want to over bake these!

5 Times Personal Security Guards Saved the Day
Many people are not aware of the power that a personal security guard has on public property. While they may not have the same authority as law enforcement, security guards are permitted to arrest citizens for serious offences, or when witnessing a crime in progress.
Edmonton, August 5, 2015
It was business as usual when popular singer-songwriter Taylor Swift stopped in Edmonton,
Canada to perform at Rexall Place during a tour for her album 1989. But as she was performing her song "Bad Blood," two men launched towards her on the stage and tried to get a hold of her. Fortunately, her security guards were quick to catch the men and take them off the stage.
Vancouver, BC, December 13, 2016
Sometimes just doing your job properly puts you in danver. A Vancouver security guard noticed a woman potentially shoplifting and approached her before the store attendants had a chance to. As it turned out, the woman was armed and dangerous, pulling a knife and slashing the security guard's arm. Luckily he kept the store and the employees safe, and the assailant was arrested shortly after.
Scarborough, January 9, 2015
Private security personnel guarding cash and precious metals are permitted to carry and use guns in Canada. In one particular event in Scarborough, a private security guard shot one of the men attempting to rob a jewellery store he was guarding. The two robbers were carrying guns when they stormed into the shop and smashed the glass to access the expensive jewellery.
Bodyguards are not allowed to carry guns in the country. In addition, security personnel carrying guns must not only work with a security agency approved by the government, but also apply for a Possession and Acquisition License.
Downtown Toronto shopping centre, December 24, 2015
Nathaniel McNeil, a private security guard, took down a man wielding a machete outside a shopping centre in downtown Toronto. The man had already injured at least one bystander with the machete.
The security guard knocked the suspect to the floor, ripped the weapon out of his hand, and subdued him with handcuffs before the police arrived and charged him with attempted murder and assault with a weapon, among others.
Parliament building, Ottawa, October 23, 2014
Kevin Vickers, a 58-year old security guard acting as the sergeant-at-arms, reportedly shot a gunman who attacked the Ottawa Parliament building. The incident happened outside the MPs' caucus rooms.
Manhattan, Jersey City, September 4, 2016
Paula Santos, a private security guard at PATH station in Jersey City, used her instincts and 20+ years of experience working as a security guard (including 4 years working at a CCTV monitoring facility) to stop a looming sexual assault.
By simply watching the body language and behavior of certain individuals, Santos spotted a suspicious man who had stepped off a train at the Manhattan Christopher Street station, and opted to remain at the end of the platform rather than leave the station. He was standing close to a 31-year old woman and her companion, and then approached them.
From her screen, the companion seemed unconscious, and then the man started molesting the woman. As soon as she saw this, Santos contacted Port Authority police. Before they arrived, her colleague, Grant, contacted PATH communications staff who used the public address system to deter the attacker. The man was charged with sexual abuse and attempted rape, among other charges.
Who needs personal security guards?
A while ago, it was perceived that only business executives and celebrities needed bodyguards or private security guards to protect their loved ones and valuables. But with increased access to personal information, other people are feeling threatened and in need of personal protection services.
Though most clients comprise of corporations and public figures, anyone can enjoy the benefits of security and peace of mind that come with hiring private security guards. This includes private businesses transporting valuable merchandise, or gamblers making an occasional lump sum deposit, or even a husband/wife looking to ward off an estranged spouse during a nasty divorce.

Toyota SARD entering Supra HV-R hybrid racer in Tokachi 24 hours
Alex Nunez
Jun 18th 2007 at 10:56AM
Last year, Toyota Team SARD fielded a race-prepped Lexus GS450h in the Tokachi 24-hour enduro. The Lexus went the distance, finishing 4th in its class and 17th overall. The 2007 edition of the contest is set for July 15th, and SARD will be back with another hybrid-powered machine. This year, however, it's going to be decidedly racier -- a Supra, to be exact. It would appear that the SARD folks are looking to possibly win it this time around. The newly-announced Denso SARD Supra HV-R began its life as a Supra GT racing car and will be powered by a hybridized Super GT-spec 3UZ-FE V8 displacing 4,480cc that dishes out 480 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque.
The hybrid system for the car will incorporate regenerative braking, a pair of 10kW in-wheel motors up front and a 150kW motor at the rear. It'll weigh in at a little over 2300 pounds. The provisional race livery was revealed in the artwork shown above, and we'll have more whenever SARD rolls out the finished car. Not a bad way to make use of a retired racer, eh? SARD currently runs the Denso Lexus SC430 in Japan's Super GT series, too.

Ocampo – G-20 leadership to strengthen China's international profile, if it can overcome reputational issues
G-20 leadership to strengthen China's international profile, if it can overcome reputational issues
By Nyshka Chandran – July 17, 2016
China's presidency of the Group of Twenty (G-20) has offered the country a unique opportunity to strengthen its international profile and work its way towards becoming a recognized superpower.
As leader of the international body in 2016, China will host a meeting of G-20 finance ministers and central bankers in Chengdu on June 22-23, followed by September's G-20 summit in Hangzhou. It is the second time China has led the group of the world's most powerful economies—its first presidency was in 2005—but this year is the nation's first time since the body was elevated to involve G-20 leaders, according to the Institute of International Finance (IIF).
Being the world's second-largest economy and the largest trading nation, the country clearly deserves a place at the head table of the global financial system but a range of concerns, spanning China's foreign policy to its stumbling economy, have many worried about the country.
Strategists often cite initiatives such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), seen as a counter to Western-oriented lenders such as the World Bank, and the One Belt One Road (OBOR), a program that aims to promote Chinese trade across three continents, as common examples of Chinese self-interest. They argue that these programs serve as mouthpieces for Chinese policy in a way that conflict with cooperative global institutions such as the G-20.
But IIF chief economist Charles Collyns pointed to the IMF's decision to include the renminbi in its Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) as proof that China wanted to be a team player.
"My sense is that these steps have helped to cement China's commitment to be a constructive player on the international economic stage, rather than drifting into unilateralism," he told CNBC in an e-mail. "A good demonstration of this commitment has been China's recent efforts to ensure that its currency is managed in a stable way that does not threaten to be disruptive to global financial conditions."
China had its own set of priorities as well as its shared commitment to a global system, but it could manage these priorities in ways that reinforced rather than conflicted with the multilateral system, Collyns added.
What China can do to boost sentiment
Pressing ahead with long-awaited structural reforms could help Beijing gain credibility and meet a key goal for its G-20 year, which is to build an innovative, invigorated, interconnected and inclusive world economy, as President Xi Jinping announced at the end of 2015.
"One concrete thing that China can do to set a good example and create a better environment for success is to pursue its own economic reforms," said The Lowy Institute for International Policy in a May report, adding that domestic reform linked to the global agenda could help China achieve Xi's aims.
In particular, the report flagged opening up the services sector to foreign trade and investment as a vital change.
In June, China's Cabinet said certain sectors, including telecommunications, airports as well as oil and gas exploration, would be further liberalized, after data showed investment by private firms slowed to a record low in the January-May period. Policies like those could set a good example in China's G-20 host year by reaffirming an open trading and investment system at a time of stumbling global growth and rising voices of protectionism around the world, the Lowy Institute said.
Another way China could cement its leadership may be in the realm of monetary reform.
Beijing could play a key role in establishing SDRs as the leading global reserve currency, something the world's economy badly needed, José Antonio Ocampo, former Colombian finance minister and Columbia University professor, wrote in a Project Syndicate editorial on July 8.
Using SDRs entailed numerous advantages, according to Ocampo, including allowing all countries to enjoy profits brought about by money creation, helping the IMF finance its programs, as well as supporting economic development.
"China's G20 leadership could be the impetus the group needs to initiate this shift," he said. "Zhou Xiaochuan, Governor of the People's Bank of China, was among the first to question the dollar's role, some seven years ago, and China has been working steadily to internationalize the renminbi."

Ransick's Dream in Salida, Colorado
Third novel out to alphas
Once there was a horse, and on the horse there was a rider. How handsome they looked in the autumn sunlight, approaching a strange city! People thronged the streets or called from the high windows. Old women sat among flowerpots. But when you looked about for another horse or another rider, you looked in vain. My friend, said the animal, why not abandon me? Alone, you can find your way here. But to abandon you, said the other, would be to leave a part of myself behind, and how can I do that when I do not know which part you are?

Why are the votes of those who don't have standards or education or culture worth the same as the votes of people who do have them? Why is a vote obtained with a revolver to the head or by brainwashing people with advertising or buying them off with fifty thousand pesos worth the same as a vote expressed freely? Ask the defenders of democracy. That's the great perversity, but we're not allowed to say that. If everybody had education and the variations between high and low, in terms of culture, democracy would be universal and we'd be in Sweden, but that's not the way it is. In Africa people vote for those in their own tribe and that's why the party of the biggest tribe always wins, and you know the only way a tribe has to reduce the number of voters for another tribe? The machete. In many countries in Africa, it isn't dictatorship that's led to civil war, but democracy. The small tribes hate the system that gives power to the biggest clan, and what is power? The right to take control of a country. Here, it's different because there are no tribes, but there are clans, and lately, tyrants. […] The [candidate] who wins has the most money, or the one who has the most arms and is stronger. The alpha male wins, because democracy, in terms of sexuality, is a masochistic relationship: power is given to the strong man so that he can exercise it over the weak man, who adopts an attitude of submission that consists of turning his back, lifting his hip, and offering his anus in order to avoid confrontation.

No one forces you to write. The writer enters the labyrinth voluntarily—for many reasons, of course: because he doesn't want to die, because he wants to be loved, etc.—but he isn't forced into it. He's no more forced than a politician is forced into politics or a lawyer is forced into law school. The great advantage for the writer is that the lawyer or the politician, outside his country of origin, tends to flounder like a fish out of water, at least for a while—whereas a writer outside his native country seems to grow wings. The same thing applies to other situations. What does a politician do in prison? What does a lawyer do in the hospital? Anything but work. What, on the other hand, does a writer do in prison or in the hospital? He works. Sometimes he works a lot (not to mention poets). Of course the claim can be made that in prison the libraries are no good and that in hospitals there often are no libraries. It can be argued that in most cases exile means the loss of the writer's books, among other material losses, and in some cases even the loss of his papers, his unfinished manuscripts, projects, letters. It doesn't matter. Better to lose manuscripts than lose your life. The point is that the writer works wherever he is, even while he sleeps, which isn't true of those in other professions. Actors, it can be said, are always working, but it isn't the same: the writer writes and is conscious of writing, whereas the actor, under great duress, only howls. Policemen are always policemen, but that isn't the same either, because it's one thing to be and another to work. The writer is and works in any situation. The policeman only is. And the same is true of the professional assassin, the soldier, the banker. Whores, perhaps, come closest in the exercise of their profession to the practice of literature.

Sunrise crests the southern peaks,
strikes the white hut high on the hill,
casts shadows along a railroad spur.
Winter rode in on a boxcar last night,
spent the new moon's savings in a
ghostly brothel. All night, wind ran
cold hands up the valley's things,
bristling with newly naked aspen and
pines that know not the beetle hordes.
An old man with smoldering beard and
eyes of grey glass cries outside the Victoria
tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
but he's more Lear than Scottish thane,
banished as he is to a mountain moor
far from daughters loyal or treacherous.
A brewpub inhabits the old mortuary,
customers soaking up suds instead of
embalming fluid. Every alley you skirt
harbors defrocked Klansmen who
scurry into dilapidated shacks or dive
into dumpsters, mumbling of nooses,
shotgun blasts and crucifix ash.
The Arkansas flows wild silver between
hot yellow cottonwoods, a river anticipating
canyon curves but regretting, like all
pure water, flowing closer to the Springs.
Look west toward Monarch Pass and see
in the flats green fumes rising from a
herd of porcine developers who dream of
bedrock, valleyview, alpineglow over
identical subdivisions, followed by the usual
quick getaway. You wish to be a trout
swimming upstream and even as you
whisper those words you wake
in clear shallows, current strong
through your gills, jeweled beams
lighting your flanks. Autumn is over
and you know in your fine bones you must
swim and swim and never stop.

My third novel is out to alpha readers (many thanks to them). It took four years and four months to research and write with a 19-month hiatus in the middle. That's nearly double the time it took to write the others. I'm grateful to all the places I sat writing in the notebook, usually at a bar or bookshop somewhere in the city (before COVID-19). I'm especially grateful to the following people for their inspiration: Ricardo Piglia (specifically Target in the Night), Esperanza Marie, Esther Vigil, Chris Dire, Roberto Bolaño (specifically The Unknown University), Chris Ransick, The Ancient Mariner, and the town of Salida, Colorado.

James Forman on cop gangs
[D.C. police] aggressiveness [in the 1990s] came at an appalling human and eventually financial cost. A 73-year-old retired postal worker was beaten after officers mistook him for a suspect; the man ended up with a broken arm. A 56-year-old-woman was beaten with a nightstick after challenging officers involved in an altercation with two of her children; another woman was cursed at, hit, and maced outside of the restaurant where she worked. Much like Staten Island's Eric Garner, a 31-year-old deaf man named Frankie Murphy stopped breathing while an officer held him in a choke hold; he died in police custody. After a dangerous ride in a police wagon–much like the one suffered by Freddie Gray in Baltimore–a 28-year-old former US Marine named James Cox won two separate lawsuits against the police. As a result of such incidents, D.C. paid out about $1 million per year to victims of police misconduct during the early 1990s. Yet the abuses continued.
At the same time, a culture of impunity flourished with regard to less violent but more common police intrusions into the daily lives of black citizens. Swearing and yelling, making belittling remarks, using illegitimate orders, conducting random and unwarranted searches, demanding that suspects "get up against the wall"–these behaviors rarely led to lawsuits or newspaper coverage. But for residents of the city's poorest neighborhoods, especially young people, this treatment became part of the social contract, a tax paid in exchange for the right to move in public spaces. Police mistreatment became part of growing up.[1]
Whatever their individual intentions or motivations, officers were bound by a system that was the source of their orders, training, and beliefs. Their job was to make teeth rattle, "arrest those s.o.b.s," and to prove that they were the biggest gang in town. In cities across America, they still do.[2]

Teju Cole on American Racism
American racism has many moving parts and has had enough centuries in which to evolve an impressive camouflage. It can hoard its malice in great stillness for a long time, all the while pretending to look the other way. Like misogyny, it is atmospheric. You don't see it at first. But understanding comes.
"People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction, and anyone who insists on remaining in a state of innocence long after that innocence is dead turns himself into a monster." The news of the day (old news, but raw as a fresh wound) is that black American life is disposable from the point of view of policing, sentencing, economic policy, and countless terrifying forms of disregard. There is a vivid performance of innocence, but there's no actual innocence left.

The underlayment of your roof is usually a type of OSB plywood or 1x6 decking if you have an older home. These materials have a low R-value, which means they provide your home with little insulation. There are newer materials such as foil-backed plywood materials that will give your home more R-value on the roof, and save energy. This is an affordable improvement that you can have done when you have an asphalt roof installed on your home.
Besides the structural underlayment, shingles also have a moisture barrier beneath them. This is usually an asphalt felt paper to help prevent condensation from damaging the wood underlayment. If you want more energy efficiency and protection from leaks, using a thicker moisture barrier can help improve your asphalt roof. There are even alternatives to asphalt felt paper, such as membrane roofing membranes that can be used as a moisture barrier.
If you want to have better energy performance, using lighter colored shingles can help reflect heat during summer months. These materials can be common shingle colors that are available, or you can even get shingles in white shades to increase these energy benefits. This is a good option for homes in warmer climates that need to reduce cooling costs during the hottest times of the year.
Attic insulation is an important part of sealing your home to make it energy efficient. Usually, homes just have a layer of insulation on ceiling joists. This allows heat to build up in the attic and reduces the energy efficiency of your home. If you want to be able to reduce heat gain in your attic, in addition to conventional insulation, you can also have the rafters insulated with spray foam insulation to prevent your attic from getting really hot.
You do not have to invest in the newest alternative roofing materials to make your home energy efficient. Using some of these ideas can greatly improve the energy efficiency of your home and cost less. If you need help deciding on the best solution for your new roof, contact a professional roofing contractor and ask them about some of these green composite roof solutions. To get started, try these guys out.


As a new mother, I was confused about which products to use for my little one. In a nuclear family, you are your own judge. Whatever you decide for your baby is solely your own decision and every mom wants the best for her little one. As discussed with my parents and in-laws, I tried many baby products and was quite satisfied with them. But when it came to potty training, I didn't like their advice about taking the baby every time to the washroom and clean with water.
I searched online because when you don't agree, you turn towards your online friends. Thankfully, I am a member of some Facebook groups where all the moms are so supportive and share their personal experience. I asked them how they tackle such a situation. They were so helpful and told that baby wipes are great for cleaning the potty at odd hours also. I liked their idea and from here my search started for a good baby wipe.
On browsing the internet, I found many options but all had some or the other chemicals mixed. My friend once told me that many times the wipes also create diaper rash. Now, this confused me further. I wanted a wipe that included no chemicals but only water.
I ordered and waited excitedly for my new purchase.
The day it arrived, I was more enthusiastic to use it on my baby than anyone else. It was so soft and natural on my baby's skin. After using it for at least a week I found that there were no rashes also. I was so thankful and happy.
These Wipes are, "As good as Pure Water & Cotton", perfect for maintaining Cleansing & Hygiene of baby's mild & sensitive skin.
They are Hypo-allergenic (Non-allergenic) so totally safe for baby's supple, soft and delicate skin.
Nothing beats the purity & serenity of water; Mother Sparsh 98% water wipes provide the purest care to your baby without causing any redness, allergy or irritation on your baby skin.
Now I have Mother Sparsh water wipes with me to give as much love to my darling as me.
