- 2 and 1/2 cups warm water (625 ml)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil + extra oil for cooking, optional
- 2 cups precooked cornmeal (320 g), see notes
- Add the warm water, salt and oil to a large mixing bowl and stir. The oil is optional, so feel free to omit it.
- Add the precooked cornmeal, a little at a time and stir with a spoon or your hands (I prefer to use my hands).
- Mix for about 2 minutes. You’ll get a dough that doesn’t easily stick to your hands, is moist and moldable, and can be rolled into a ball. If your dough is too watery, add more flour and if it’s too thick, add a little bit of water, until you get a perfect consistency. However, if you follow my recipe, you should get a perfect dough.
- Let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Wet your hands to make the arepas, that way the dough won’t stick to your hands. Divide the dough into 10 pieces, roll each piece into a ball and carefully press each ball between the palms of your hands to form a disc, about 1/2-inch thick (about 1 cm). If the arepa cracks a lot, your dough may need more water (add a little at a time). A little cracking is normal, so just use your wet hands to close the cracks by gently patting along the surface.
- Add a little bit of oil to a large skillet (use a non-stick skillet if you don’t want to use oil), and when it’s hot add the arepas. I usually cook them in two batches to give them a little room in between, so they don’t touch. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes each side or until the arepas are golden brown and cooked in the inside.
- Transfer the arepas to a cooling rack and let them cool for about 10 minutes. If you’d like to fill the arepas, split them in half with a serrated knife. You can enjoy them just by themselves, though.
- Best when fresh, keep leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.

Hi Stamping Friends,
Stampin’Up has a really fun kit to record your gratitude day by day. They call this kit the Gratitude for Days Simple Created kit.
I turned a bunch of these pockets into cards and a had a few left over. They made a perfect post it note holder. The pocket holds post it notes and a gel pen. It even has room for a gift card too.
I used two pockets for this project. I scored the top at 2″ and folded down the flap. The bottom edge was cut off so it was 3/4″ past the score line. The the sides and the bottom flaps are all the same size now.
This kits comes with a lot of number stickers. I used the “Four” sticker and was trying to stamp a “You” greeting. Hidden on page 191 of the catalog is the Alphabet Rotary stamp. I love this because you can stamp any greeting you want. I stamped “You” with Lost Lagoon ink on Lost Lagoon card stock and punched it out with the Little Labels Punch Pack.
Isn’t this a cute gift?

What is a Fever Dream?
Fever dreams are one of the possible symptoms of fever. In multiple studies, sleepers describe their fever dreams as bizarre, negative, and emotionally intense . Experiences of fever dreams vary among sleepers. Some people with fevers do not recall dreaming, while others can recall their fever dreams years later.
What Is a Fever?
A fever is a sign of inflammation, and one of the body’s potential responses to infection or illness . Although there is wide variability of body temperature among individuals, a standard human body temperature is generally considered about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius). Fevers are an elevated body temperature of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) or greater, taken orally in adults.
Symptoms of fever may include:
- Cold or chills
- Rigors, or severe, teeth-chattering and shaking chills
- Dampness or sweating
- Respiratory symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing
- Fever dreams or hallucinations
What Is a Fever Dream?
Fever dreams are vivid, often bizarre or unpleasant dreams sleepers can experience when they have a fever. These dreams happen similarly to other dreams. Although they can occur during any stage of sleep, most vivid dreams happen during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep . Waking up during or right after REM sleep can increase the chances of remembering your dream . Typically, people dream for about two hours total each night, but the dream experiences vary. Some people dream in black and white while others dream in full color.
Fever dreams are vivid, often bizarre or unpleasant dreams sleepers can experience when they have a fever.
Additionally, dreams may play a role in memory consolidation and processing emotions. In fact, one study of 299 dreams showed that half of the dreams contained at least one component tied to a specific daytime experience. As a result, fever dreams may include feelings of heat and illness.
What Causes Fever Dreams?
The exact cause of fever dreams is unknown. Some researchers speculate that the “overheated” brain affects cognitive processing and therefore makes the fever dreams more strange than typical dreams. Fevers can also interrupt REM sleep, which may lead to other sleep changes, including unusual dreams.
How Are Fever Dreams Different From Other Dreams?
Fever dreams differ from other dreams in that they are often more vivid and unusual. Fever dreams also tend to feel more negative and involve fewer positive emotions than other recent non-fever dreams. Also, in fever dreams, the sleeper interacts with fewer dream characters or figures.
Specific aspects of fever dreams can include:
- Spatial Distortion: Moving walls, objects melting, and spaces changing size were the most common type of dream in one study of fever dreams.
- Threats or Danger: Study participants reported that their fever dreams contained threats from dogs, insects, terrorists, and stones.
- Illness: Types of illness in dreams may vary. In one study, sleepers dreamed about illnesses such as respiratory distress, pain, and vertigo.
Do Fever Dreams Have a Meaning?
Although fever dreams do not have a specific meaning, they can often include connections to a person’s current situation. For example, fever-related dreams more often include a health-related topic and sense of temperature than regular dreams.
Fever Dreams vs. Nightmares
While fever dreams are the result of a fever, nightmares may stem from anxiety , stress, or trauma. These frightening and unsettling dreams could also be indicative of a sleep disorder, such as sleep apnea or narcolepsy. Regardless of cause, nightmares can impact sleep quality.
Reducing stress and practicing good sleep hygiene can help decrease the likelihood of nightmares. More severe cases may require cognitive behavioral therapy. Additionally, a sleep study can determine if a sleep disorder is present.
Fever Dreams vs. Lucid Dreams
During lucid dreams, the dreamer becomes aware they are asleep . Some lucid dreamers even experience control over their dreams. In one study of fever dreams, nearly 40% were described as lucid. This number is significantly higher than the 7.5% of dreams experienced as lucid dreams in healthy people.
Are Fever Dreams Bad?
Fever dreams are not necessarily bad for the body. Because most dreams take place during REM sleep, when leg and arm muscles are temporarily paralyzed, sleepers are unlikely to act out their dreams. However, sleepers may experience unpleasant or negative dreams. They may wake feeling unsettled or uncomfortable.
Can You Prevent Fever Dreams?
While there is no single way to prevent fever dreams, resolving the fever itself can reduce the likelihood of them occurring.
- Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
- Get sufficient sleep. Sleep provides many health benefits, including helping your body recover when you are sick.
- With the guidance of your physician, take ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
Be sure to consult your doctor if you experience additional or worsened symptoms with your fever.
- Regular Distressing Dreams in Childhood Tied to Higher Risk of Cognitive Impairment February 26, 2023 – A study found that children with persistent distressing dreams had a higher risk of developing cognitive impairment or Parkinson’s disease by age 50.
- Discussing Dreams Thought to Help People Cope During the COVID-19 Pandemic January 17, 2023 – Analysis of dreams shared on social networks identifies dreamtelling as potentially transformative for people coping with collective trauma.

Manor Park man jailed over social media sex assaults
- Credit: Archant
A detective has warned of the dangers of arranging to meet up with people they have previously only had contact with on social media after a man was jailed for the attempted rape and sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl and a girl aged 17.
Adil Hoque targetted the “vulnerable” teenage girls using Twitter and Blackberry Messenger.
The 20-year-old of Sheringham Avenue, Manor Park, was sentenced to eight years in a young offenders institute at Inner London Crown Court on Friday, and given a further 18-month sentence to run concurrently.
He had been found guilty of attempted rape at a trial in October 2012 and further convicted on the sexual assault charge at a re-trial in March this year.
Hoque used Twitter to talk to a 17-year-old girl whom he then offered to drive to college on May 11, 2011.
He sexually assaulted her in his car before she escaped when Hoque was disturbed by a passer-by.
Later in the year Hoque struck again this time talking with a 14-year-old girl via Blackberry Messenger.

He met her on Romford Road in Manor Park, after phoning the school pretending to be her uncle.
Hoque then took her home and tried to rape her.
Detective Inspector Simon Ellershaw, of Sapphire, the police unit tackling rape and sexual assault, said: “He deliberately targeted vulnerable girls. It also highlights the dangers of meeting people you don’t know having had contact with them only via social media.”


Three critically endangered whales are now pregnant and could help save the species, scientists have said.
Aerial drone research by scientists in Washington state has given hope to researchers in British Columbia that the three pregnant killer whales could help the species move away from the edge of extinction.
Washington state scientists Dr Holly Fearnbach, of SeaLife Response, Rehabilitation and Research, and Dr John Durban, of Southall Environmental Associates, discovered the presumed pregnancies.
Dr Durban told the Northwest News Network the “hope” for the recovery of the species is “fragile”.
“Last year, we documented a number of other pregnant females, who were not successful in rearing calves. Unfortunately, this is not unusual and we have documented a high rate of reproductive failure over the last decade.”
The director of Ocean Wise’s Marine Mammal Research Programme, Dr Lance Barrett-Lennard, told CBC News: “It’s pretty exciting and it’s very significant. The southern resident population of which [the] J-pod belongs to is critically endangered.”
“In most years they have no reproduction at all. So having three pregnancies is good, it’s exciting. This is what the [group of whales] needs.”
The number of resident southern orcas has decreased over the last several decades from more than 90 in the 1970s to 74 today. It’s the only killer whale population that’s considered endangered.
Scientists call the group of whales the “J-Pod”, with the three expectant mothers being whales J19, J36, and J37.
Josh McInnes, a researcher at the University of British Columbia, noted that killer whales have high rates of miscarriages and infant mortality, but said that he’s still “excited” and “hopeful” that some of the pregnancies will boost the dwindling population.
“Having three calves being born that could possibly survive ... it might just help a little,” he told CBC News. “The first year is critical, killer whales have a 50-50 chance of survival especially in the first year.”
The pregnancies were discovered recently but appear to be quite far along.
“Fingers crossed that they are successful and the calves survive,” he added.
Miscarriages among the population have recently prompted fears of continued decline and eventual collapse.
J35, a female orca, went on a “tour of grief” in 2018, carrying a stillborn baby with her in the water for two weeks. The orca gave birth to a healthy whale two years later.
Dr Barrett-Lennard said researchers use drones that fly around 30 metres above the water to study the animals.
“The use of drones has revolutionized everything,” he said. “It supplies us with very high-resolution photographs ... One can see the edges of the whales pretty well and measure their total length and shape ... and of course we can detect pregnancies fairly early.”
Both the Canadian and US governments classify the southern resident orcas as "endangered". Their supply of salmon to eat is decreasing and the rise in shipping in the area has increased noise and fatal collisions.
The Canadian government issued an interim order in June to protect southern resident killer whales by increasing regulations on shipping traffic in British Columbia waters.
“The population is small and declining, and the decline is expected to continue,” the government said about the orcas. “There are forecasts of continued low abundance of Chinook Salmon. Southern residents are also threatened by increasing physical and acoustical disturbance, oil spills and contaminants.”
The noise from the shipping traffic harms the whales’ ability to use echolocation to hunt and the communication within the pod is also affected.
Dr Barrett-Lennard told CBC News that the whales were suffering “death by a thousand cuts”.
“The southern residents are iconic for us,” Mr McInnes said. “And we’re really hoping that there’s some survival for the new calves ahead.”

NY village holding mayoral election with no candidates
POLAND, N.Y. (AP) — A central New York village is holding a mayoral election with no candidates.
The Observer-Dispatch of Utica says the election on Tuesday is supposed to choose a replacement for village of Poland Mayor Mary Paul, who has decided to step down for personal reasons.
Since there are no candidates, the race will be decided by write-in votes.
Village Clerk Brandie Guarno says that if the winner does not want the position, he or she must resign.
Poland, located 55 miles (88 kilometers) east of Syracuse, has a population of about 500.

During last night’s video conference call, selectmen agreed to allow more Town committees or boards to virtually meet during the pandemic state of emergency. Selectmen voted that any Town board or committee can hold a virtual meeting – but only if they have critical or time sensitive matters to discuss, or issues related to covid-19.
It is basically what the board agreed to in their meeting last week. But after that meeting, the Town’s update gave a much stricter definition. It only allowed the Board of Selectmen, Board of Health, School Committee, and “Any permitting board that needs to meet in order to avoid a constructive approval on a project.”
Under the new guidance, committees will have the discretion to decide whether an item is critical enough to hold a virtual meeting. As for those virtual meetings, selectmen denied a request to allow boards to choose a different app/technology. Every committee or board will have to use the Zoom account setup by the Town.
Town Administrator Mark Purple explained that the Town implemented a platform that they know works and satisfies all Open Meeting Law criteria.
A criticism had been that Zoom only allows two virtual meetings at a time. Purple pointed out that since meetings take place virtually, they can be held any time of day.
The Town’s IT Director Tom Laflamme is working on a allowing public input during the virtual meetings. Purple said that he needs Laflamme to walk him through it first before they discuss implementing it. But he summed up that it would allow boards to toggle audience members’ status back and forth from non-participating viewers/listeners to active participants.
Selectmen indicated that once public input is available through virtual meetings, they may loosen the reins to allow more meetings. The current concern is avoiding boards discussing issues or making decisions on items that the public would normally be able to publicly comment on.
“Purple pointed out that since meetings take place virtually, they can be held any time of day.” – but for those of us still working, we wouldn’t be able to attend, say, a 10:00a BOS meeting (or, any other meeting in the middle of the day, M-F). What about purchasing a second zoom account? There’s clearly demand. And it’d come at a net positive – aren’t we saving money by not heating buildings, staffing, etc.?
I don’t see that clear demand. Apparently two meetings can run at once. This week there were only 3 meetings scheduled for the entire week. Planning Board’s only lasted less than 10 minutes and that was clearly intended. A board could have met at 7:30 on Monday or anytime this evening without overlapping a meeting. I also got the impression that additional overlap would increase likeliness of a problematic glitch by spreading IT too thin.
But selectmen said that if a real demand developed for more than two at once they should be alerted so they can address it.

Feedback controlled electrical nerve stimulation: A computer simulation

The role of repetitive firing in neurophysiologic or neuropsychiatric disorders, such as Parkinson, epilepsy and bipolar type disorders, has always been a topic of medical research as therapies target either the cease of firing or a decrease in its frequency. In electrotherapy, one of the mechanisms to achieve the purpose in point is to apply a low density electric current to the nervous system. In this study, a computer simulation is provided of a treatment in which the stimulation current is computed by nerve fiber cell membrane potential feedback so that the level of the current is automatically instead of manually adjusted. The behavior of the nerve cell is represented by the Hodgkin–Huxley (HH) model, which is slightly modified into a linear model with state dependent coefficients. Due to this modification, the algebraic and differential Riccati equations can be applied, which allows an optimal controller minimizing a quadratic performance index given by the user. Using a controlled current injection can decrease unnecessarily long current injection times that may be harmful to the neuronal network. This study introduces a prototype for a possible future application to a network of neurons as it is more realistic than a single neuron.

GEORGE COUNTY, Miss. (WKRG) – A Leakesville man was arrested after allegedly fleeing from deputy sheriffs in George County.
Robert Stone, 20, was arrested Friday after the sheriff’s office said a deputy attempted to pull over his vehicle on Salem Campground Road in the Barton community around 9 p.m.
Stone allegedly fled from the deputy, reaching speeds over 90 miles per hour.
The chase ended at Salem Campground and Old Americus Roads where Stone was arrested for fleeing law enforcement in a motor vehicle and taken to George County Regional Correctional Facility.
Court records show Stone had bonded out of the jail earlier in the day for a Lucedale Municipal Court warrant.

The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal world-wide newsbox, and Los Angeles Times all lead with Secretary of State Colin Powell’s fiery speech at the Grand Poobahs’ economic summit in Davos, Switzerland, during which he denounced allies’ hesitance to go to war with Iraq and said there’s plenty of evidence to justify an invasion. “This is not about inspectors finding smoking guns,” said Powell. “It is about Iraqis’ failure—Iraq’s failure—to tell the inspectors where to find its weapons of mass destruction.” USA Today leads with a poll: Fifty-six percent of respondents said that inspectors should be given more time. Then again, 81 percent said Iraq is not complying with U.N. resolutions. (No, the poll isn’t from France.)
The NYT listens to Powell’s comments and reasonably enough concludes that he “came close to dismissing” the impending inspectors’ report. Meanwhile, USAT, citing anonymous administration officials, says, “Bush has made no decision yet” about whether to invade: “The media, officials say, are overblowing the sense of urgency.” Puuleese. With the current military buildup, the stark rhetoric from the White House, and the much-discussed narrow climate-based timeframe for an invasion, the notion that the press is somehow overreacting strains credulity, and USAT should have said as much.
As this morning’s papers say and as has been mentioned before, the inspectors’ report—due out today—is going to nail Iraq for lots of omissions in its weapons declaration but is also going ask that inspectors be given more time. “We are just now reaching a fully operational level,” one inspector told the NYT. In a not-great sign for the White House, best buddy Tony Blair seemed to sympathize with that request. “I don’t believe it will take them months to find out whether he’s cooperating or not,” said the prime minister. “But they should have whatever time they need.”
As the LAT notes up high, Powell also renewed allegations—made by other administration officials recently, too—that Saddam is connected to al-Qaida, a claim, as the LAT properly points out, “that the administration has so far supported with scant evidence.” The NYT’s Bill Safire says that’s only because the CIA are bureaucratic buffoons; he insists, “Saddam and the followers of bin Laden are bedfellows.”
The Journal has the best details on Davos’ cross-Atlantic atmosphere of animosity. During a dinner speech, Patrick Cox, president of the EU parliament, proudly announced, “The real Europe has real values,” adding “our imperial days are over, and thank God for that.” Ron Silver, “U.S. actor and political activist,” saw that as a diss of his homeland, prompting him to jump from his table and proclaim, “We are not an imperial government, Mr. Cox! You know that and everybody here knows that.”
A front-page piece in the NYT says that the government is developing a computer network to gather people’s health data and serve as a sort of early-warning radar for a bioterror attack. The Times’ piece goes high with the privacy issues around the system and notes that until recently the project was funded by the Defense Department’s much-bashed Total Information Awareness program. Meanwhile, the Times underplays other parts of the story, namely its huge potential non-terror-related utility: Wouldn’t the system be a big help with natural epidemics too? Indeed, according to the article’s 34th paragraph, state health workers in Massachusetts and an HMO are already in the midst of creating a similar civilian system that will soon cover 20 million people. (Why isn’t that a big story? It may not have the sexy bio-terror hook, but presumably the program could save a whole lot of lives.)
A front-page piece in the WP says that North Korea’s 6-month-old attempt to reform its all-but-dead economy is failing badly. The Post speculates that the collapse might be why North Korea has chosen to unwrap its nuke program and attempt a shakedown.
Everybody mentions that a U.S. U-2 spy-plane crashed in South Korea yesterday, slightly injuring five people on the ground. The pilot ejected and survived. The Pentagon kept mum on where the plane had been flying.
A front-page piece in the LAT says that the White House is skimping on domestic defense. The administration has proposed about a $2 billion increase for domestic security (aka homeland defense), a third of what one recent study called for. “The bottom line is that it appears to us we’re going to be under-funded is several key areas,” said former Republican Sen. Warren Rudman, who headed a bi-partisan panel on domestic defense.
The NYT and WP front the latest from Israel: With two days to go before national elections, Israel announced a ban on all Palestinian travel within the West Bank and closed entry points to both the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The Times also says that after a firefight on Sunday that killed 12 Palestinians (mostly gunmen) in Gaza, Israel is considering reoccupying the strip. As the paper mentions, that would probably result in nasty urban fighting, along the lines of what happened last April.
In a bit that TP missed, Saturday’s LAT reported that the Pentagon is drawing up plans to possibly use nukes against Iraq. Administration officials have hinted in the past that the U.S. might go nuclear if Saddam uses chemical or biological weapons. But the LAT adds that the military is also considering using nukes pre-emptively and without provocation to take out deep bunkers. As the paper reminds up high, these are just contingency plans and will probably end up in some archive, dusty and unused. Still, the administration’s previous rhetoric about flexible nuke use has taken a step toward reality, and that’s news—though not to the other papers: So far as TP can tell, the NYT, WP, USAT, and WSJ all skipped it. Two possible explanations: One is that the papers might not have thought it was newsworthy since, as Scott Shuger said last year, previous administrations have also warned that they might use nukes in retaliation for chem or bio attacks. (Not a solid argument; see this paragraph’s third sentence.) The second, perhaps more likely, explanation: The story was in the SaturdayLAT.

TOM Grant prides himself in maintaining the highest standards of grassland management across his entire farm.
The former dairy farmer now manages a flock of 100 spring lambing ewes with all lambs brought through to finishing weights.
He farms at Killeen, just south of Newry. His commitment to maintaining the highest standards of output from grass is total, combining a rotational grazing system and cutting regimes to ensure that the management needs of the swards are met at all times.
He explained: “I re-seed on a regular basis. But in truth, it is one of the oldest swards on the farm that is the most productive.
“Effective weed control in grass land is crucially important. From sward management point of view this is my top priorty.”
The Grant flock comprises a mix of Suffolk and Texel-cross ewes. They are bred to a selection of Charollais and Texel rams.
“The plan is to lamb the flock during as tight a period as possible during the middle weeks of March,” Tom further explained.
“Taking this approach means that the sheep will be making best use of grass at all times of the year.”
However, Tom also recognises that grass, in its own right, is not the complete feed for sheep.
“Both the ewes and lambs will need supplementation at different times,” he confirmed.
“It is for this reason that I make available Crystalyx High Energy feed buckets to the sheep throughout the year.”
David Morgan, from Caltech Crystalyx, was a recent visitor to the Grant farm.
He confirmed that the number of sheep producers using Crystalyx High Energy feed blocks continues to increase at an exponential rate across Northern Ireland.
This has been particularly the case over the recent autumn months. Driving this trend is the growing recognition on the part of flock owners that these unique supplementary feed sources act to maintain body condition on ewes in the run-up to lambing.
David further explained: “The core challenge facing ewes under current circumstances is that of maximising forage intakes,” he explained.
“This is the key to allowing them secure the dry matter levels they need to meet their own nutritional needs and those of the lambs they are carrying.
“And it is in this context that the Crystalyx Extra High Energy feed blocks for sheep can play a crucial role.
“They represent a highly palatable and concentrated form of energy, high quality protein, minerals, trace elements and vitamins, acting to improve the efficiency of the rumen.
“At the very heart of this process is the stimulus given to the microbe populations in the rumen. In turn this speeds up the digestion process, thereby allowing ewes to increase their daily consumption levels of fresh grass. And this, of course, determines overall dry matter intakes.”
David explained that ewes must be kept in top condition in the run-up to lambing.
“Loss of condition while pregnant will jeopardise placental development and reduce body reserves available for milk production,” he said.
“Trials conducted at Newcastle University found that ewes with access to Crystalyx Extra High Energy maintained better condition than ewes on grass alone, and their lambs subsequently had a five per cent higher growth rate.
“Offering the High Energy tubs to ewes now will also have a very beneficial impact on the quality of the ewes’ milk post lambing. This reflects the quality of the protein contained within the feed blocks.
He concluded: “Crystalyx Extra High Energy is a feed block that can be used all year round to provide supplementation for ewes, rams and lambs. High in protein, energy and with a full complement of minerals, trace elements and vitamins, Extra High Energy and forage can be all that’s required to operate a highly effective and profitable sheep rearing system.
“A daily Extra High Energy feeding rate of 40-60g head will ensure that pre lambing ewes receive the level of nutrition they need, provided that adequate levels of forage are also made available. Moreover, the product has been proven on local sheep farms over many years.”

Non-Surgical Gum Therapy
It is possible that in spite of your best efforts, you may require more extensive gum therapy. Like many other ailments, gum disease can be quite painless due to its slow progression.
After a thorough periodontal screening, other therapies aimed at eliminating or reducing the amounts of bacterial and plaque accumulation below the gum line may be recommended. This involves curettage and root planing and/or treatment with site specific administration of medications to the affected gums. Curettage is the debridement of the soft tissue lining around the tooth. In disease, this tissue is chronically irritated by bacteria deep below the visible gum line and needs to be removed so that proper healing can occur. Root planing is the removal and smoothing of micro amounts of root surface so that a clean and uninfected surface is presented to the healing lining of soft tissue. These two procedures are generally done simultaneously, may require local anesthesia and are skillfully done by our dentists and hygiene team.
Laser Gum Therapy
At Eatonville Dental, we offer our patients laser gum therapy, which is used to speed up the healing of diseased gums. Recent studies suggest that the diode laser can play an important part in knocking down the bacteria that linger after conventional periodontal therapy is complete. The diode laser has been shown to improve overall results when used in conjunction with conventional curettage and root planing. While the diode laser does not replace conventional approaches to periodontal therapy, its ability to reduce persistent, invisible bacteria can contribute to the natural healing and control of periodontitis. Ask us about the many uses of the diode laser at your next visit!
Our Recognition – Happy Patients!
Once, a curious patient asked me, “What is the highest recognition a dentist can get?” My answer was, “a happy patient”. We would like to thank all of our happy patients who nominated us and voted for Eatonville Dental to be honored the “Best Dentist” gold title in Etobicoke. We truly appreciate it!

Florida - A medical marijuana card, or best marijuana dispensaries MMJ card is a state issued identification card that allows a patient that have a health care provider or in some states registered nurses advice to purchase from a registered hashish dispensary, possess, or domesticate hashish for medicinal use. The doctor did tell me to not smoke marijuana — smoking is, after all, unhealthy — and to pick a secure" caregiver. Maximizing the advantages and minimizing the harm of medical cannabis requires an individualized method with education on dosage, frequency, pressure, supply systems, and the more subtle facets of one's relationship with this medicine plant. This November, California - together with three other states - will vote on whether to approve recreational use of the drug. It was additionally suggested that I convey one thing proving that I've some type of medical disorder that marijuana is capable of treating.

 Bear in mind, a suggestion doesn't legalize driving while intoxicated, or utilizing marijuana in public, nor does it confer employment, housing or education protections. Companies like NuggMD offer a easy and secure online process that is cheaper than an in-person consultation ($39 for a brand new-affected person) and likewise affords many ancillary benefits like partnerships with dispensaries and bud recommendation that a medical skilled might not be willing or in a position to provide.

Whether you are an experienced nurse or recent grad, documentation can be challenging. Here is some information that can assist with improving your charting and reducing liability risks:
Documentation is a core nursing competency, which helps to ensure that patients receive appropriate, high-quality health care services. While it may be difficult to find time for nurses to document patient care in addition to their other clinical and administrative responsibilities, one of the nurse’s primary professional responsibilities is to maintain consistent documentation. Documentation provides a picture of the patient’s condition and how they respond to treatment, which influences the decisions that subsequent providers will make regarding the patient’s care. It is also a legal record that reflects the quality of care you provided.
Defensive Documentation Can Help Protect Nurses from Liability
In a litigious and ever-shifting healthcare landscape, nurses face potential liability in their everyday work. Documentation is a tool for the planning and provision of patient care, communication among providers, and demonstration of compliance with federal, state, third-party payer and other regulations. Inadequate documentation may not only impede the quality of patient care, it can also hinder the nurse’s legal defense in the event of a malpractice lawsuit and can even lead to a nursing board license complaint. In fact, CNA and NSO’s closed claims analyses for nurses and nurse practitioners found that 9.1 percent of nurse and 6.3 percent of nurse practitioner Board of Nursing paid claims were due to allegations of documentation errors or omissions, with an average defense expense of $4,124 and $6,782 per claim, respectively.
Enhance your documentation practices
A complete and accurate clinical record presents the strongest defense against any malpractice or licensing board action. While some specialized settings, practice arenas, regulations and other areas may require additional types or components of documentation, the following principles may lessen nurses’ liability exposures:
- Chart in the correct record. Ensure that key patient identifiers are accurate, including the spelling of the patient’s name and their date of birth, to ensure effective linking of patient healthcare information records within and across systems.
- Chart promptly. As soon as possible after you make an observation or provide care, document your actions for more detailed notes. If you wait until the end of your shift, you could forget to include important information.
- Be accurate, objective, and complete. Document what you see, hear, and do. Include data relating to all aspects of patient care and the nursing process. Refrain from documenting inappropriate, subjective opinions, conclusions, or derogatory statements about patients, colleagues, or other members of the patient care team.
- Track test results and consultation reports. Ensure that findings are properly communicated and acknowledged, documenting these actions in the patient’s health information record.
- Avoid repetitive copying and pasting. This is especially important when documenting high-risk items, such as laboratory results, radiology reports and drug formulations.
- Use approved abbreviations. Unfamiliar or seldom-used abbreviations can confuse other caregivers and lead to potential patient injuries. Ask to see your facility's list of approved abbreviations. Familiarize yourself with them and use them consistently.
- Include patient communication. Document patient education regarding treatment and any educational materials, resources, or references provided to the patient. Patient complaints, questions, and other concerns should also be documented, as well as all steps taken to resolve their concerns.
- Record instances of non-adherence. This includes missed appointments, refusal to provide information, and rejection of treatment recommendations. Be sure to report this to your manager and the patient's primary provider.
- Document delegated tasks. Include verification that delegated patient care-related tasks are completed by those who are under your direction and/or supervision.
- Correct errors promptly. Correct your charting errors in accordance with your organization’s policies and procedures, ensuring that it is clearly marked as a late entry. Remember: electronic healthcare records automatically date and time each entry and identify electronic deletions, so any attempt to alter the patient healthcare information record is discoverable.
- Safeguard patient healthcare records. Comply with your organization’s information security practices to protect patients’ healthcare information from loss and/or unauthorized access.
Your documentation should be consistent with the treatment plan(s), and meet federal, state, and local law, as well as all applicable professional and ethical guidelines. It should also reflect established coding and billing procedures. Contact your manager, supervisor, or risk manager for assistance with documentation concerns or questions, especially if they may have liability or regulatory implications.

When I purchase a yarn that is Fair Trade like Wool Classica by Manos del Uruguay I am choosing a yarn with a purchase; I get to knit in a beautiful yarn and then give it as a gift plus I am directly helping a family.
With each purchased skein of Manos del Uruguay yarn you will be helping a woman to support her family. We encourage you to take a closer look at the tag on your skeins. Each skein is signed, so you will know who made your yarn, and from which village it came. You will be supporting the hand-crafted rather than mass-produced, and contributing to an economy where the workers control the means of production. You, as a handknitter, crocheter or weaver, will be contributing to women’s careers in harmony with family life, and contributing to the landscape and cultural heritage of Uruguay. We hope you continue to work with and support Fair Trade products, like Manos del Uruguay yarns, throughout the year. Manos Blog March 2013

The decomposed body was found near Mutha village on Lavasa road on Monday evening, he said.
Shirsath, a resident of Pune city, went missing on January 30 following which his family members had registered a police complaint on January 31.
"We later registered a kidnapping case on February 5 after his family raised suspicion that he might have been abducted as he had raised voice under the Right to Information (RTI) Act against illegal constructions in some parts of the city," the official said.
Shirsath's family pointed fingers at several people linked to the real estate sector, but during the probe, all of them were found to be close friends of the deceased, he said.
A case has now been registered under Indian Penal Code Sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence) and a probe is underway, he said.
The body has been sent for post mortem and its report is awaited to ascertain the exact cause of death, he added.

in researching Henry's 410 lever actions I have noted that the H018-410 with its 24" barrel come fitted for "Invector Style" choke tubes .... the H018-410R with its 20" barrel comes fixed "Cylinder Bore" choke .... in considering a 410 for my 9 year old's first shotgun, I prefer the 20" but being able to use choke tubes pretty much eliminates it from consideration .... any thoughts from folks who use a 410 ..
I had a .410 years ago that I tried to squirrel hunt with. Found out real quick that it wouldn't reach the treetops nearly as well as a 12 or 20 gauge. And that was with full choke. A .410 in cylinder bore would be pretty helpless for hunting anything except bunny rabbits at very close range in my opinion. Can't figure out what Henry was thinking not offering both guns with choke tubes. Puzzling!
I can remember saying I'd never own a GLOCK,never own an AR15 and never get married. I found out that never is a long,long time!

Not sure I understand their thinking, either. 410s have traditionally be choked full as long as there have been 410s, because anything more open leaves you with too sparse a pattern. Choke tubes would be far more useful on a 20.

Hostages to Justice
Toni Bunton sat in the witness chair with her arms folded across her chest. She wore black pants and a lavender V-neck sweater over a white turtleneck. Her hair was parted down the middle and fell down her back. After 16 years in prison, she had learned to cut her own hair by looking in a mirror.
It was the third week of January last year, in a courtroom in Ann Arbor. Bunton was the first of 10 prisoners to testify in a civil lawsuit against the Michigan Department of Corrections. They were among more than 500 female prisoners who said they were repeatedly raped and molested by male guards.
Dick Soble, one of the lawyers for the women, asked Bunton about the crime that landed her in prison. She described a drug deal that had turned into a murder. She didn't pull the trigger, but she drove the getaway car, she admitted. She made no excuses.
"I deserved to be punished," Bunton told the jury.
Soble pivoted to the allegations in the suit, and the first time she was assaulted. "It was winter of '93," she said, so softly it was hard to hear.
Judge Timothy Connors asked her to speak up.
"He took me in there and, like, he was kissing me," Bunton said of her rape by a guard in a prison bathroom at Scott Correctional Facility when she was 19. She motioned to her neck and chest, as if trying to scrape away the memory. "He pulled my jogging pants down. My butt was against the sink. And he penetrated me."
She said she did not report the incident to prison officials because she feared retaliation from the guard or others.
"He said he would make my life miserable," she said.
Bunton slumped. The other women wiped away tears.
'I blamed myself'
Bunton testified she was raped eight times in prison. She described each attack in as much detail as she could remember.
By the time she talked about the third rape, her voice was quivering. She was crouched on the witness stand, ducking her head, her arms wrapped tight and her right hand covering most of her face.
"He came in there and started feelin' all over me," she told the jury, before describing the rape itself.
Allan Soros, an assistant attorney general representing the prison system, sat at the defense table, his hands folded, his eyes locked on Bunton.
Bunton took a deep breath. She faced the jury but didn't focus on anyone.
"Do you want to take a minute, Toni?" Soble asked.
"No, I want to hurry up and get this over with," she said, her voice breaking.
Each rape lasted about 5 to 10 minutes, she estimated.
One time an officer "came into the room and he was on his knees at the door asking me if he could give me oral sex." Bunton said she started crying and he left. Another time, an officer climbed on top of her, while she was sleeping in her cell.
Lawyers for the women knew they had to make jurors see their clients as human beings, not as prisoners making claims for money.
As Bunton testified, several people in the courtroom wiped tears from their eyes.
"I was away from my family, 18 years old," she said of entering prison. "I had never been around people like that. I just don't think I was sophisticated enough to deal with the types of people that I had to deal with."
"I felt this was part of prison life. I didn't know any different. Nobody sat me down and told me."
She cried. "I felt it was part of the punishment. I blamed myself."
She stopped and held her head, crying.
Bunton told the jury that she is worried about the future.
She worries about how she would deal with men, if she ever got out of prison. She said she would have to know a man for several years, before she trusted him, before she felt comfortable with him.
"I want to be normal and I want to have that opportunity and I want to have children, but I don't know what is going to happen."
On cross-examination, Soros did not ask Bunton any specific questions about the rapes. He did not raise any doubt that it happened, other than noting that Bunton had not reported the abuse when it happened.
Instead, Soros focused on the achievements and education that Bunton received in prison. She had earned an associate's degree, bachelor's degree and master's degree while behind bars. In many ways, she was a model prisoner. Soros tried to raise a subtle point: If Bunton endured so many sexual assaults in prison, if she truly suffered, how could she be so successful?
After more than 1 1/2 hours, Bunton finished her testimony.
"Toni," her lawyer said. "It's over."
She picked up a cup of water and walked off the stand.
Deborah LaBelle, the lead lawyer for the prisoners, wiped tears from her eyes.
Reviewing the evidence
After three weeks of such testimony by the 10 women, closing arguments began Jan. 31. The prisoners did not appear in court. They were held in a small cell behind the courtroom.
But the walls were thin.
Bunton stood up, leaned forward and tried to stick her head between the bars, turning her ear to hear bits and pieces.
Soble went over the testimony with jurors.
It wasn't just the wrenching stories of the women themselves.
A female guard testified that she saw guards take women down back stairways, go into their cells at night, flirt or talk vulgarly to them. But she did not report the incidents to her bosses because, she said, she was warned to stay quiet or face retaliation from other guards.
Julie Kennedy Carpenter said that prisoners told her they put wastebaskets by their doors, as an early warning system in the event a guard entered their room at night.
Also damning, Soble noted, were public reports by watchdog and governmental groups in the 1990s which found inappropriate sexual contact between guards and prisoners at Michigan prisons. Soble also pointed out something else: The state did not put on any testimony to dispute the women's suffering, or call any guards to deny the allegations.
Prison officials, he argued, "refused to recognize they had a problem."
The defense sums up
After a short break, Soros gave his closing response.
In a three-week trial, the defense had lasted only 59 minutes, 30 seconds. Soros called only one witness to the stand, former Warden Joan Yukins, who testified that every guard received a handbook each year which outlined inappropriate behavior, including rules about physical contact, harassment and prohibiting sexual relations. She testified that she believed officers had been properly trained in how to deal with female prisoners.
Soros then attacked the credibility of different witnesses and the outside reports citing abuse by male guards. The researchers, he said, didn't directly investigate the women's claims and instead simply repeated their allegations.
The state, he said, had improved the way it investigated abuse and trained guards.
"To say the department just sat back and did nothing, just let everybody run the place, is just totally false," Soros said.
Sexual misconduct, he said, is everywhere in society. It's in homes and offices, schools and churches. But he said the level of abuse at Scott was "unfairly characterized in this trial." Though Soros had presented no evidence to refute the women's testimony, he argued that the sexual abuse was not as rampant as the women and experts suggested.
"A big part of this trial is common sense," Soros told jurors. How could prison officials take action to prevent sexual assaults when so many of these women never reported being assaulted? "How can Warden Yukins take any action to help any of these plaintiffs when they are not telling her what their problem is? Then, they turn around and sue her."
Soble, the women's lawyer, had the last word.
"What you heard in this courtroom today is what women have heard every single day of their lives in prison," he said. "They are liars. They are cheaters. They can't be believed. They are sluts. They are drug addicts. And they are prisoners. ... it's outrageous."
"Even today, in this court, with the overwhelming evidence, what they are telling you is: There is no problem."

Marijuana, considered by many people to be a relatively safe drug, is now legal in many countries around the world, including increasingly larger regions of the United States.
While it’s true that marijuana is safer in most regards when compared to heroin, meth or cocaine, marijuana isn’t without its problems. Like any drug, marijuana affects the lungs, the brain, and every organ in the body.
The risks are compounded significantly when marijuana is used every day, or when it is combined with alcohol or other drugs.
Most experts agree that while marijuana isn’t as addictive as many other substances (including alcohol), about 10 percent of users will develop some level of cannabis addiction. The risk increases significantly for people who start using marijuana as adolescents.
Heart and Lung Problems
Daily marijuana users are more likely to have heart problems later in life, especially if they also smoke cigarettes. One study found that within the first hour after smoking marijuana, the risk of cardiac arrest is five times greater than for those who don’t smoke marijuana. Daily marijuana smokers also have a higher risk of chronic bronchitis and other respiratory difficulties. The risk increases with age.

The work presented is the continuation of the research on the probabilistic modelling of air infiltration carried out by the author over many years. The approach has consisted in considering uncertainties coupled to the climatic/environmental input data to the physical models, or to the threshold criteria for a good performance. The concept of risk/reliability evaluation of building/environment system performance was proposed and exemplified for the air exchange model.
Air exchange in buildings is driven by pressure difference across the building envelope caused by wind and difference in density between external and internal air. The evaluation of the influence of wind on the air change rate is usually limited to the analysis of the hourly mean wind speed. Wind is a random phenomenon characterized by the broad energy spectrum. The high frequency part can be responsible for the oscillation of the air through the openings resulting in the increased air exchange. Wind pressure coefficient on the leeward site mostly depends on the form characteristics of the object in relation to wind direction. The analysis of wind speed and wind pressure on the facades in frequency domain can deliver interesting data to air change rate model.
Some of the results of continuous measurements carried out on a single-family house for 8 months are presented in frequency domain. The statistics of wind speed, wind direction and pressure differences across the 6 building components are calculated. The influence of wind turbulence on pressure fluctuations on the facades and the roof of the building are investigated. The samples of the energy spectra of pressure differences are examined. Farther analysis of the experimental results is needed to be able to propose the more detailed model.
