Sleep and Wellbeing
‘Are they sleeping through yet?’ The phrase every new mother dreads. Sleep is never textbook (for baby or mum!), and can often feel like a struggle, when tiredness and overtiredness is in the mix.
And its not just new mums either. The truth is that mums (and mums-to-be) often struggle with sleep for a manner of different reasons, whether that is being woken up by a baby, struggling to get back to sleep, a full mind, insomnia, pain or another reason.
It can be particularly difficult to have a good night’s sleep with so much on our plates, with different aspects of our lives to juggle, and the ongoing experience of broken nights sleep, which impacts on our body clocks. Before children, most of us take sleeping for granted, and therefore it's a real shock to the system, when despite tiredness, there is a barricade between us and our much wanted sleep.
If you struggle to sleep, frequent night waking or experience insomnia, the below should help you get to sleep and stay asleep. If your waking is due to a baby, we hope these tips will help you get back to sleep quicker. Remember to be kind to yourself, to sleep when the baby sleeps, to get support and to cut yourself some slack.
So why is sleep so important?
Did you know we spend about a third of our lives sleeping? We all know that sleep is vital to our emotional and physical health. Although if you aren’t managing to get a good night’s sleep – don’t panic! Any changes take a long time to come about and can be easily corrected with some much needed shut eye. The effects of sleep include:
- Maintains physical health – sleep is vital in healing and repairing areas of our body
- Maintains a healthy balance of the hormones
- Supports immune function - Ongoing sleep deficiency can change the way in which your immune system responds. Studies have shown that those who sleep less than 7 hours are almost three times more likely to develop a cold than those who sleep 8 hours or more.
- Increases productivity – Lack of sleep often slows down our reaction time and ability to think clearer. A good period of sleep has been shown to improve problem solving skills, enhance memory performance and learning performance as your brain consolidates what it has learnt in the day!
- Improves emotional health – Studies show that lack of sleep disturbs our ability to regulate emotions and allocation of brain resources for rational thinking. When we are tired, the intensity of emotions is experienced as greater as emotion generation is affected. Anxiety and lowness are often felt if we haven't slept long enough
Sleep hygiene involves good sleep practices that can help us get to sleep quicker, get back to sleep after waking and sleep more deeply. We often think these things don't make a difference, but from our experience, if you can start to introduce these practices into your daily life, they really do improve your sleep experience.
1. PREPARE - Try to prepare yourself through sleep throughout the day.
- Exercise each day as even 10 minutes of aerobic exercise is clinically proven to support sleep.
- Avoid caffeinated drinks after midday, as caffeine is a stimulant which has important effects on your brain and its ability to switch off.
- Avoid alcohol (sorry!) as it interrupts your circadian rhythm and blocks REM sleep.
- Naps can give us that important boost, but with any naps you have in the day, aim for them to be before 2pm. If you have no problem getting to sleep but are up due to baby waking, then nap as much as you need to whilst the baby is sleeping.
2. ROUTINE – Stick to a routine if you can
- Go to bed the same time every night, as early as possible if you have a small baby. Even though it may result in more wake ups over the night, the cumulative affect of the extra hours will be more restorative.
- Wake up the same time every morning. Set an alarm if you can. Again if you are struggling with a new baby, you need to be kind to yourself and grab any pockets of sleep you can, so this doesn't apply to you.
3. WIND DOWN – Start to wind down one hour before bedtime
- Avoid screens for an hour before bed as they can stimulate your brain, the opposite of what we are trying to do.
- Quiet time is useful in helping your body slow down.
- Breathing can be especially helpful here as it acts to decrease the sympathetic nervous system which arouse the body and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, activating our relaxation response.
4. SLEEP ENVIRONMENT – Prepare your sleep environment for sleep only
- Complete darkness is vital if you can. Studies show that artificial light disrupts Our Circadian Rhythm, stopping melatonin, a sleep-inducing hormone from being created.
- Silence is also key to a good sleep. Try to avoid listening to anything with words in. If you find yourself finding noise helpful in getting you to sleep, try to choose a timed piece on sounds, such as natural sounds of the sea, or panpipes.
- Coolness also helps our bodies sleep well. Between 16-19 degrees is perfect.
- Remove clocks as although it feels helpful to know the time, it interrupts our ability to switch off, leading to frustration as the time passes as we find ourselves still awake.
Fall asleep faster?
If you have the above covered, you might be wondering how you can fall asleep faster with a busy mind or after baby wake ups.
- Hot shower – This action may feel relaxing but it also tricks you body in sleep, through taking advantage of the way temperature affects circadian rhythms.
- Deep breathing – This activates our relaxation response biologically but it also switches off our mind, as if we are solely focusing on our breathing, we have some headspace away from our busy thoughts. Ratio breathing, where we imagine breathing in and out in the shape of a square, following the sides of the square with each inbreath and outbreath can be particularly helpful for switching off.
- Mental activity – Do sums in your head, do times tables, spell words in your head or even count sleep. The repetitive nature moves our mind away from our thoughts. And if you find your focus moves back to your busy mind, gently draw it back if it wanders.
- Progressive muscle relaxation – This is an exercise where you systematically relax all the muscles in your body. AnxietyBC have a great script if you want to have a go: https://www.anxietybc.com/sites/default/files/MuscleRelaxation.pdf
Still can’t get to sleep?
- Lavender – has a wonderful affect on our nervous system and has been found to improve symptoms such as restlessness, disturbed sleep, and somatic complaints. A recent study showed lavender was as effective as sleeping pills in getting people sleeping.
- Lemonbalm – lots of our clients swear by lemonbalm which again supports our nervous system. Drops can be added to a bath, or you can buy as a tea or a tincture.
- Valerian or valerian root – is a herb used to treat insomnia and often for low mood after birth. We also recommend you check with your GP before taking valerian if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, although you can buy it from most herbal stockists.
- Get support – remember to explain to friends and family the affects of lack of sleep, and ask them to support you. Friends, family and doulas often play an important role in helping mums have a break and get some sleep. If you continue to struggle with sleep, visit your GP, as they may be able to support you further with supplements.

It’s been a long and winding road for the Heathers TV show to make it to air.
The dark high school series based on the 1988 film of the same name was initially set to premiere on TV Land in 2017. Then Heathers made its way over to the newly launched Paramount Network instead. Paramount decided to table Heathers for the foreseeable future following a rash of school shooting in the U.S. Finally, Paramount gave Heathers a trim from 10 episodes to 9 and is set to release the series on October 25.
To celebrate finally getting to see the light of day, Heathers is getting not one but two original soundtracks on Lakeshore Records.
The first soundtrack, Heathers-Original Television Series Soundtrack (Various Artists), is set to be released on October 12 and will feature source tracks from the series by various artists includingDJ Shadow, Poison, Peggy Lee, and others. It would appear that these tracks are keeping with the show’s dark, yet youthful aesthetic. Is that Run the Jewels I hear???
The tracklist is as follows:
01. Coming For You – Anna Dellaria
02. Que Sera Sera – Pink Martini
03. Nobody Speak (feat. Run the Jewels)- DJ Shadow
04. Hold On – Wilson Phillips
05. Hand Clapping Song (Josh Mobley Remix) – The Meters
06. I’m Happy – Bury the Wren
07. Every Rose Has Its Thorn – Poison
08. Tomboy – Princess Nokia
09. Destroy Everything You Touch – Ladytron
10. I Think We’re Alone Now -Tiffany
11. GO! (feat. Karen O) – Santigold
12. Is That All There Is? – Peggy Lee
The second soundtrack, Heathers – Original Television Series Score, consists of the show’s original score composed by Chris Alan Lee. That will arrive on October 19. A first single, “Viral Casualty” is currently available digitally. The score will also feature some original songs performed by cast members Melanie Field and Birgundi Baker.
This iteration of Heathers is set in the present day and follows “good girl” Veronica Sawyer (Grace Victoria Cox) as she clashes with a vicious high school clique of “Heathers.”
Heathers will be available to stream on the Paramount app and website on October 22. The series will air two episodes a night on Paramount Network starting October 25.

Florida lawmakers have proposed that the government be required to obtain a warrant before searching the contents of “portable electronic devices” or tracking their locations. The bill, S.B. 846, was introduced by State Representative Jeff Brandes and would go into effect on July 1, 2013.
The proposed Florida law would apply to “portable electronic devices,” such as cellphones. The bill defines a “portable electronic device” as “an object capable of being easily transported or conveyed by a person which is capable of creating, receiving, accessing, or storing electronic data or communications and that communicates with, by any means, another entity or individual.” The bill specifically prohibits two different government actions. First, the “contents and communications” of a portable electronic device, which include “data or information contained in or transmitted from” the device, may not be searched or seized by the government without a warrant. The warrant requirement is subject to certain exceptions in the bill, such as searches related to national security, missing children, emergencies that are reasonably believed to involve death or serious physical injury, and existing exceptions to the warrant requirement.
Second, the bill would prohibit the government from obtaining the location information, both past and present, of an electronic device without a search warrant. This provision is also subject to certain exceptions, such as national security events, missing children, emergency situations, and when the owner of the device requests its location information. In addition, the bill provides that such location search warrants may only be issued for a period of time that is necessary to achieve the objective of the search, and in any event no longer than the earlier of 30 days from the date the location information is initially obtained or ten days after the warrant is obtained.

Don’t think of videomonitoring as just passively watching cameras in a monitoring center. It is a complex system of interconnected technologies, where the installed camera system has only a secondary function. Thanks to this, no relevant event is overlooked. It significantly reduces operating costs, which is why it is considered the future of security services.
EFFECTIVE PROTECTION OF THE PROPERTY
After receiving an alarm signal from the security technology (detection technology), the operators will check the situation by reviewing the recordings from the camera system and evaluate the justification of patrol vehicle dispatching.
Video monitoring is considered as a higher level of connection to alarm receiving center. It is particularly suitable in areas with a high incidence of false alarms (e.g. also exterior – movement of trees, birds, animals) or in places with authorized movement (e.g. administrative building – employees, apartment building – residents). Thanks to the cameras, it is possible to identify false alarms and thus eliminate illegitimate trips by the patrol vehicle units.
COMPLEXITY OF SERVICES = SUBSTITUTION OF PHYSICAL PERSONNEL
This service is usually combined with technology monitoring and remote operation.
By combination of these services, we are able to provide comprehensive service of remote protection and operation, which allows to substitute security guards and thus to significantly save the client’s operational costs.
Thanks to this combination of services, the customer is confident that his premises is under control not only in terms of protection against theft, but also against various events that could jeopardize his business (flood, server room overheating, power cut, technology failure etc.). At the same time, it allows us to remotely manage and control any technology, according to predetermined rules (e.g. to allow access for dustmen or goods courier into premises, while the preformation of their duties is monitored)
The technologies which are necessary for providing these services is usually surveillance system, CCTV system, fire detection system and access control system. These can be supplemented by additional systems as communication systems (e.g. intercom), parking system or technologies enabling remote control of electrical equipment. Our technicians will design the entire system according to customer’s needs and requirements – Installation and service of technology.
ADDITIONAL USE OF CAMERA SYSTEMS
- OSH, PPE and PO monitoring – enables active control of the wearing of personal protective work equipment (e.g. helmet, etc.) and immediate reaction to violations of these rules
- Monitoring the progress of construction works – inspection of workers or for marketing purposes (time-lapse cameras)
- Monitoring of compliance with traffic regulations – enables immediate response to violations of defined traffic regulations (e.g. parking ban, entry ban, crossing the line, etc.)
- Virtual tours – they are carried out either at regular or irregular intervals, at a frequency defined by the customer. They are meant to check the status of the monitored area using the installed camera system. They have a random character, i.e. unlike videomonitoring, there is no response to the received alarm signal. Sometimes there are parts of the buildings or areas, where is no detection technology installed (either because of costs or if the identification of certain incidents is not a priority for the client). In these cases it is desirable to use at least virtual tours.
- Analytics and creation of statistics – nowadays, video systems are not only used for security and control purposes, but also serve as a tool for making strategic decisions. Every strategic decision or investment requires certain supporting data. A suitably designed and installed video system or additional technologies, it is possible to examine the environment (people or objects located in it) and thus reveal areas for possible optimization or streamlining processes. Our company offers the possibility of designing and installing technology suitable for video analysis, as well as subsequent data processing and creation of statistical documents in accordance with the assignment.


ATTITUDE CONTROL OF SMALL UNMANNED FOUR-ROTOR HELICOPTER BASED ON ADAPTIVE INVERSE CONTROL THEORY
Keywords:attitude control, small unmanned four-rotor helicopter, adaptive inverse control theory
AbstractA dynamic model of small unmanned four-rotor built according to Newton-Euler formalism was proposed in this paper. Base on this model, Adaptive Inverse Control (AIC) Theory was used in the control of the small unmanned four-rotor for the first time and the attitude stabilization control was also realized on the experimental platform. The attitude control experiment indicates that AIC is robust in the attitude control of the small unmanned four-rotor.

Remove the stalks and place the herbs (rosemary, oregano & thyme) in a food processor or blender. Add the chilli flakes, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, chutney, salt and pepper, and olive oil. Puree into a loose paste.
Slather the steaks with the mixture and marinate for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
Cut the heirloom tomatoes in 1/3 inch thick slices and lay them on a board or platter. Top with the halved cherry tomatoes and onion slices.
Blanch the avocados in boiling water for 30 seconds to stop them from going black. Cut them into slices and scatter them on top of the salad.
Bring the steaks to room temperature before cooking.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Put the steaks on and cook for 4 minutes a side for medium-rare steaks (5 mins a side for medium-well). If the oil in the marinade causes a flare-up, move steaks off to the side until the flame dies down.
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. Cut the steak into slices and place it on the platter alongside the salad.
Drizzle with good quality olive oil and season with some sea salt and fresh black pepper. Garnish with some fresh basil. This dish can be served when the steaks are warm or at room temperature.

Blackberries are now ripe enough to harvest in many scrubland locations. These were on the Hugo de Vrieslaan and they tasted great! The bramble season will continue for several weeks. The plants cunningly open their flowers gradually, allowing for birds to strip all the ripe berries one day only for more to be available, just a few days later.
Here is Wild Parsnip. The roots (which I wouldn’t forage for ecological and social reasons) are edible but the foliage is definately not and can make unwise foragers very ill.
These Elderberries are not yet ready to harvest and could give you a very sick stomach if you tried them now. They need to become a deep purple black colour. Some birds have begun stripping the elderberries from plants just as they turn pale red. I don’t notice that usually, perhaps it’s because so little fruit has ripened on the trees in general this year. Whatever the reason, I’m sure that when the mass of elderberries become ripe, there will be enough for everyone who fancies cooking them.

Lindo Creek CoI The wife of Lindo Creek Massacre victim Clifton ‘Berry’ Wong said she heard the news about miners being killed, but brushed it aside and went about her domestic chores, only to have her entire world collapse later that night.Collette Wong took to the stand before the Commission of Inquiry into the June 2008 Lindo Creek Massacre and tearfully recounted when she received the news of her husband Clifton Wong’s death.Clifton Wong’s daughter, Shaniza Romain, on the standThe woman related that prior to heading into Lindo Creek, her husband had been home to celebrate Mother’s Day and her birthday, and while heading into Lindo Creek, he had promised to send some money to celebrate their daughter’s birthday on June 13.The woman said the last communication she had had with her husband was when he stopped at Kwakwani before heading into Lindo Creek, and he had told her, ‘I love you’, and had asked her to take care of their five children.Collette explained that when she did not hear from her husband for their daughter’s birthday, she made contact with his boss, Leonard Arokium, and asked that he contact the camp, which he promised to do.Amidst tears, Collette Wong said her nephew-in-law was the one who had informed her of her husband’s death on June 21, at sometime around 12:30hrs.“I bravely said, ‘Hit me with it,’ he said, ‘You already heard’, and I said there was a newsflash. At that moment I did not panic,” she said. To confirm the news, she then called Arokium, and her worst fears became true.“Upon hearing that, I went upstairs. The children were already in their bed, and I woke them up and said, ‘He is no more! He is no more!’ ” the still grieving woman related before breaking down on the stand.She said her screams were so loud that they woke up the entire neighbourhood, and persons came over to enquire what was going on.She said that apart from media operatives, the family was visited by Social Welfare Officers, but she noted that they did not receive any form of counselling or therapy to deal with their loss.Collette Wong said she was also fearful of the heavy Police presence in her street during the wake held for her husband. She further related that her brother-in-law, Courtney Wong, was asked to provide the Police with an SNA sample, and that the family was never contacted about the burial of her husband’s remains.Also taking the stand was the late Clifton’s daughter, Shaniza Romain, whose birthday he was supposed to send money for. The woman related that when her father did not call her for her birthday, she sensed something was wrong.She said that her father was a family man and would never miss their birthdays, and she still remembers the last present he had given her before he was murdered.Romain recounted that, in 2007, her father had presented her with a pair of gold jingles (bangles) for her birthday, but after his death, the family had to sell those to supplement their finances.Sometime between June 12, 2008 and June 24, 2008, miners Cecil Arokium, Dax Arokium, Compton Speirs, Horace Drakes, Clifton Wong, Lancelot Lee, Bonny Harry and Nigel Torres were shot and killed, and their bodies burnt at the Upper Berbice River mining camp being operated by Leonard Arokium.The Lindo Creek CoI is the first of what the coalition Government has said would be a series of inquiries into the hundreds of killings which occurred during a crime wave that began in 2002. The CoI was established to inquire into the circumstances surrounding the killings of eight miners, and to report its findings and recommendations to President David Granger.

Residents urged to be cautious and not to buy items from door-to-door salespeople
North Wales residents are being warned to be on alert as cold callers posing as “reformed criminals” have been spotted selling household items in the area.
The individuals, who are known as Pedlars or Hawkers, may carry their own ID, but it is important to note that they are required to have a Pedlar’s license issued by police forces to those of “good character”.
However, it is unlikely that someone with a known criminal history would be granted such a license.
Probation services have stated that they do not encourage this kind of activity for individuals on probation.
A North Wales Police spokesperson has said: “Intelligence suggests that these cold callers may also be selling information about vulnerable individuals, who would be easy targets for criminal activity, and overcharging them for goods.”
“The use of card payments has also been reported, putting residents at risk of financial fraud.”
“Residents are urged to be cautious and to politely decline any offers from door-to-door salespeople.”
“By working together and reporting suspicious behavior to the authorities, we can make North Wales a “no go area” for these criminals and keep our communities safe.”

The Addams Family comes to Pinedale
PINEDALE – The iconic Addams Family first appeared in single-panel cartoons back in the 1930s. Today Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday and Pugsley Addams are household names and have appeared in numerous television, film and theater adaptations.
The Addams are the Halloween version of the Brady Bunch – funny and likeable, but also a bit peculiar and attracted to all things mysterious and spooky. Uncle Fester, Grandmama Addams, a butler named Lurch, and of course, the Thing, add to the creepy atmosphere.
Students at Pinedale High School bring the wacky family back to life in “The Addams Family: A New Musical,” created by “Jersey Boys” co-writers Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice with music by Andrew Lippa.
The show, directed by Greg Allen and Justin Smith, features plenty of laughs that the whole family can enjoy, explained senior Erik Rivera, who plays Gomez Addams.
Wednesday Addams has grown up and is engaged to an outsider from a “normal” family, said senior Zoe Griffin, who portrays the character.
“The Addams Family are a very centered family...” said Rivera.
“...And they’re very weird,” added Griffin.
“This whole situation arises when Wednesday meets a boy named Lucas and they fall in love,” Rivera explained. “The entire show revolves around Wednesday and Lucas trying to get together and the struggles that come from having a family that’s very tightknit.”
The Addams Family and Lucas’s family are from different worlds and clash as they navigate the impending wedding between Wednesday and Lucas.
“The show is about the ups and downs in Wednesday’s relationship with her new fiancé,” said Griffin. “It’s definitely an interesting show and it’s very quirky.”
The musical adds twists to familiar characters in the Addams Family franchise.
“You get to see the Addams family in an environment that you’ve never seen them in before,” said Rivera.
“You are going to see the characters grow and change throughout the show,” said Griffin. “They’re still their same old selves, but the show has a lot of character development.”
Griffin and Rivera are relatively new to the theater yet they both landed lead roles.
Griffin appeared as minor characters in PHS’s production of the drama “Radium Girls” last year.
“‘Radium Girls’ was so much fun,” she said. “It’s been even more fun being in a lead role this year.”
Rivera decided to try out for the musical on a whim, the chance to try something new, and found himself cast as one of the primary characters.
The seniors agreed that their musical backgrounds performing in PHS bands came in handy when learning songs. The choreography and memorizing lines posed a challenge, one Griffin and Rivera both took on.
In addition to thanking Allen and Smith, Rivera and Griffin gave a shoutout to choreographer Anastasia Hamilton for the patience she showed to the newcomers to dance.
Rivera emphasized that the Addams Family is one of the first stage productions in Pinedale since the pandemic began, and he looks forward to performing in front of a live audience.
“We’re lucky to put on a show after this crazy year when nothing has been opened,” he said.
“We’ve got a really talented, really hardworking cast this year and we’ve put in a lot of hard work,” Griffin said. “I think it’s going to be an awesome show. It’s full of comedy and good times, so come out and see it.”
PHS presents “The Addams Family: A New Musical” on Wednesday, March 31, Thursday, April 1, and Friday, April 2. Show times are 7 p.m. with a 2 p.m. matinee on Friday at the Sheppard Auditorium. Tickets cost $5 per seat and are available from cast members, the high school office, NAPA Auto Parts and Office Outlet.

What is the true color of the ocean?
blueThe ocean is blue because water absorbs colors in the red part of the light spectrum.
Like a filter, this leaves behind colors in the blue part of the light spectrum for us to see.
The ocean may also take on green, red, or other hues as light bounces off of floating sediments and particles in the water..
Why is Bahamas water so clear?
Oceans move east to west as the Earth spins because of its rotation, creating a phenomenon known as upwelling. … In the Bahamas, meanwhile, coral reefs act as a barrier to break the force of upwellings. There are areas in the Pacific that still have clear water and heavy waves, but that’s because of what’s in the water.
Why is the sea is salty?
Ocean salt primarily comes from rocks on land. … Rocks on land are the major source of salts dissolved in seawater. Rainwater that falls on land is slightly acidic, so it erodes rocks. This releases ions that are carried away to streams and rivers that eventually feed into the ocean.
Does color affect turbidity?
Colored wastewater discharge and dyes are pollutants that will affect turbidity, but not suspended solids. Nutrients like nitrate and phosphorus are often considered pollutants, but as they are a dissolved substance, they do not contribute directly to the suspended solids concentration 30.
What is apparent color?
The apparent color includes color from dissolved materials plus color from suspended matter. The true color is determined by removal of the suspended materials with a filter or a centrifuge. This procedure uses filtration for true color analysis.
What is Hazen?
The Hazen color test uses a Pt/Co solution and was developed for water treatment facilities where the Color of water could be used as a measure of concentration of dissolved and particulate material. Slight discoloration is measured in Hazen units (HU).
What causes color in water?
Perhaps the most common cause of water color is the presence minerals. Red and brown colors are due to iron; black to manganese or organic matter; and yellow to dissolved organic matter such as tannins. … Under that condition, iron and manganese dissolve in the water.
How is the color of water determined?
The Platinum-Cobalt Scale (Pt/Co scale or Apha-Hazen Scale ) is a color scale that was introduced in 1892 by chemist Allen Hazen (1869-1930). The index was developed as a way to evaluate pollution levels in waste water. It has since expanded to a common method of comparison of the intensity of yellow-tinted samples.
What color is sunlight?
whiteThe color of the sun is white. The sun emits all colors of the rainbow more or less evenly and in physics, we call this combination “white”. That is why we can see so many different colors in the natural world under the illumination of sunlight.
Why is tropical water so blue?
Most of the Caribbean has that turquoise blue color because of the shallow depths. The deeper the ocean, the deeper the shade of blue because the sunlight can’t reach the bottom. When the water is deeper, it absorbs all the sun rays, creating a darker shade. So the more shallow the water, the lighter the blue.
Why is gravel pit water so blue?
It’s fairly simple: calcium carbonate, the fine limestone powder in the water, reflects the sunlight back and intensifies the naturally blue shade of water. “Very, very small white particles will also scatter blue light very efficiently.”

Swap a 2.6L engine in 4 cyl 190E?
Has anyone done a 2.6L conversion on a 4cyl Mercedes? These engines seem to be plentiful. The 4 cyl is pretty good for me but where I live the car is too old to get emissions so i can basically put whatever I want under the hood. Its a 5 spd. How difficult would it be? I assume no fabrication? are we looking at removing the front end to slide the engine in? I guess it would be best to get a wrecked car? Shortened driveshaft? same 5spd trans will bolt up? according to the EPA, its only a 1 MPG hit.
I thought it might be a good winter project

Should be a fairly simple swap since it's all bolt in basically. No fabrication work needed if you have a good 2.6 donor car to get parts from.
That's really a good idea and one I think I'm going to look into further. I might swap my engine if I could find the right 2.6 car that's wrecked and cheap.

A toothache is the #1 highest occurring dental emergency that requires patients to seek out emergency dental care nearby. Common medical suggestions for dealing with a toothache are to rinse the mouth using warm water, then try using dental floss to remove any obstructions that may be causing the pain. It is never recommended to use aspirin directly on a toothache. Finally, if it’s after normal business hours, get a hold of an after hours business using our services. The London Cosmetic Dentistry
I've used Crest Whitestrips in the past and always saw results but this paired with the Auraglow whitestrips has produced the fastest, most noticeable results. I'm confused by the review that says this LED light does nothing because I've tried the strips with and without the light and WITH the light is much whiter.... The product works as it says it should. KCL Dental Society - Staff Perspective, Kings College London
Females generally have slightly whiter teeth than males, partly because females' teeth are smaller, and therefore there is less bulk of dentin, partially visible through the enamel layer. For the same reason, larger teeth such as the molars and the canine (cuspid) teeth tend to be darker. Baby teeth (deciduous teeth) are generally whiter than the adult teeth that follow, again due to differences in the ratio of enamel to dentin. As a person ages the adult teeth often become darker due to changes in the mineral structure of the tooth, as the enamel becomes less porous and phosphate-deficient. The enamel layer may also be gradually thinned or even perforated by the various forms of tooth wear. A Day in the Life of a Dental Student from London, England via Snapchat
The Power Swabs® system was first introduced in 2008 with a breakthrough, patented teeth whitening technology developed by celebrated dentist Dr. Martin Giniger. In fact, Dr. Giniger’s Power Swabs home teeth whitening product is proven to whiten teeth as well as white strips, but with far less sensitivity and greater ease of use. To accomplish this, Power Swabs whitening products use a patented combination of clinically-researched ingredients to reach between enamel and break the molecular bonds between positively charged stained molecules and the negatively charged surfaces they are bound to for a platinum white clean. An added bonus to the gentle formula is that it works on cosmetic dentistry as well as natural teeth. All on 4 dental implants, A Patient Review of Brighton Implant Clinic
Have a friend call the dentist immediately while you focus on the lost tooth. Always lift up the lost tooth by the crown, rather than the root, since you do not want to introduce any bacteria or other pathogens to the tooth root. If there is any debris or dirt on the tooth, run it under some clean, cold water, but do not dry it on anything. Push it back into its socket, making sure that it is facing the right way, and bite down slowly to keep it in place until you reach the emergency dentist. If you cannot easily get the tooth back into its socket, store it in a container of milk. Pharmacies also sell a product called Save-a-Tooth that you can place a lost tooth in if you happen to have it on hand.
The aim of the oral hygiene phase of treatment is to reduce the number of bacteria in the mouth and therefore reduce the level of inflammation. Your dental practitioner will first explain the causes of your periodontitis and explain exactly how to keep your teeth and gums clean. You will be given individual advice on how to use the various cleaning aids most effectively; for example, the most appropriate tooth brushing technique and the correct use of dental floss and interdental brushes.
The Dental Care Cost Estimator sometimes groups together, into "treatment categories," services that are often delivered together to address a particular dental problem. The description of different treatment categories, and the inclusion of particular services in a treatment category, is not advice that any particular treatment category is the right treatment for you or that you should not obtain any particular treatment. All of those matters are things that you should decide, in consultation with your dental care professionals. This cost estimator is intended for use in the 50 states, Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories.

Make a sea salt solution. Dissolve a small amount of sea salt in a cup of warm water. Swish a sip of the solution in your mouth for 30 seconds and spit it out. Repeat several times. Salt water will reduce swollen gums, gum bleeding and will also decrease the swelling caused by infection. However, if the infection has advanced to an abscess, then you will need antibiotics. Add this mouth rinse to your twice-daily brushing routine.

If left undisturbed, microbial plaque calcifies to form calculus, which is commonly called tartar. Calculus above and below the gum line must be removed completely by the dental hygienist or dentist to treat gingivitis and periodontitis. Although the primary cause of both gingivitis and periodontitis is the microbial plaque that adheres to the tooth surfaces, there are many other modifying factors. A very strong risk factor is one's genetic susceptibility. Several conditions and diseases, including Down syndrome, diabetes, and other diseases that affect one's resistance to infection, also increase susceptibility to periodontitis.

Can you prevent your teeth from becoming stained in the first place? Good practices mean avoiding staining substances. The most egregious are red wine, coffee and tobacco residue. Other foods on the staining list are tea, tomato sauce and balsamic vinegar. If the thought of avoiding any of those makes you want to cry, Messina advises rinsing with water after eating. Brushing your teeth is even better. Dentist In Holborn Outstanding 5 Star Review by Kate S.
Even if you know the office is closed, go ahead and call. There may be an emergency number or instructions on the answering machine. If none of these options work, head to the nearest emergency room. The staff there can help determine whether the injury can wait for your dentist and can possibly provide pain medication to help alleviate symptoms in the meantime.
Most people develop some staining and discoloration on their teeth over time, but knowing that the problem is common doesn't make it any less embarrassing. Many people feel self-conscious about having a less-than-white smile. If you're one of them, you can take steps to address staining and boost your self-confidence with teeth-whitening products.

Evidence-based research also holds great promise for developing streamlined protocols that will make implants affordable for greater numbers of prospective patients. To do this, implant dentists are adopting stricter controls and performance standards, especially when evaluating new products and technologies, to generate robust data in clinical studies to help find ways to further standardize dental implant protocols.
Anyone who has had treatment for advanced periodontal disease knows that meticulous homecare is the key to keeping periodontal disease from rearing its ugly head – again. Because personal oral care is a big part of any periodontal treatment plan, your dentist or dental hygienist will spend lots of time with you making sure you understand and implement proper brushing and flossing techniques at home. He or she may also recommend products like Colgate® PerioGard®, a prescription-strength antimicrobial mouthwash to help reduce bacteria in hard-to-reach areas of your mouth.
It may seem almost cliché at this point, but basic dental care like brushing your teeth after every meal and using floss to clean between your teeth still go a long way toward fortifying your dental health. In addition to brushing and flossing, adopt habits like wearing a mouth guard if you play sorts to insulate your teeth from excessive force or trauma. Also, wear a mouth guard if you grind your teeth in your sleep, either as a matter of habit or when you’re experiencing stress. Teeth Implant Cost Full Mouth Secrets?
Alternatively, stock abutments are used to retain dentures using a male-adapter attached to the implant and a female adapter in the denture. Two common types of adapters are the ball-and-socket style retainer and the button-style adapter. These types of stock abutments allow movement of the denture, but enough retention to improve the quality of life for denture wearers, compared to conventional dentures. Regardless of the type of adapter, the female portion of the adapter that is housed in the denture will require periodic replacement, however the number and adapter type does not seem to affect patient satisfaction with the prosthetic for various removable alternatives.

Placement of the implant: The implant screw is placed and can be self-tapping,(pp100–102) otherwise the prepared site is tapped with an implant analog. It is then screwed into place with a torque controlled wrench at a precise torque so as not to overload the surrounding bone (overloaded bone can die, a condition called osteonecrosis, which may lead to failure of the implant to fully integrate or bond with the jawbone).
Implants are made of titanium metal that "fuses" with the jawbone through a process called "osseointegration." There's no short cut to get around that process, and it usually takes several months once the implant is put into your jawbone. Osseointegration, however, is why implants never slip or make embarrassing noises like dentures, and why bone loss is usually not a problem. Best Tooth Replacement Solution.

A dental abscess is an infection that occurs in or around a tooth root. Abscesses can cause serious dental pain, and they can be dangerous as they might spread into the jaw bone, nearby teeth, or even your blood. It's important to seek treatment for a suspected dental abscess as soon as possible to reduce the chance of the infection spreading. If you have a fever or severe pain, call an emergency dentist for immediate care. If you do not have a fever and are able to manage your pain with over-the-counter pain relievers, you can call your general dentist in the morning; they will probably want to see you the same day or the next day.
Gum disease, worn enamel, cavities, and exposed roots. Individuals with gum disease or teeth with worn enamel are generally discouraged from undergoing a tooth-whitening procedure. Cavities need to be treated before undergoing any whitening procedure. This is because the whitening solutions penetrate into any existing decay and the inner areas of the tooth, which can cause sensitivity. Also, whitening procedures will not work on exposed tooth roots, because roots do not have an enamel layer.
When you have a dental emergency, waiting days or even weeks for a dental appointment means that your discomfort continues and your condition possibly worsens. A walk-in dentist is available to treat your dental emergency immediately, making this dental option the best choice for a painful dental emergency. This is especially important if your dental condition includes an infection like an abscess, a tooth that has been knocked out or a painful toothache that occurs without explanation. A dental emergency like a lost filling or a loose crown can usually wait until you are able to make a dental appointment. Veneers at The London Cosmetic Dentistry
It’s essential to have a well-fitting whitening tray to avoid getting the gel on your gums and lips. Doing so can cause discomfort and sensitivity. It turns out that the extra tray is useful because it can take a special touch to get the temperature of the trays just right to mold them to your mouth! So take your time with this step to ensure proper whitening results. Dental Implants in London, ON - We Smile Dentistry
Without regular dental checkups, you won't know that you have gum disease until your condition is in its advanced stages. The warning signs that you may experience with this disease include gums that bleed when eating, brushing, and flossing because they are swollen and tender. You may also notice that your gums are receding. When this happens, your teeth look longer. If you notice sores in your mouth or pus in between your gums and teeth, then chances are you may have gum disease. Cosmetic Dentistry - London Cosmetic Dentists londonsmile.co.uk Video
The surgery itself does not hurt, as the implant site is kept numb during the surgery and for several hours after. As the anesthesia wears off, you may have some soreness that lasts for several hours or days following the surgery. Most patients are able to control the pain with over-the-counter medications; we will discuss this at your consultation. Welcome to UCL Eastman Dental Institute
Whitening mouthwashes are another tooth-whitening product that you can use at home to promote a whiter smile. These products usually feature a small amount of hydrogen peroxide that bleach the dental enamel. Generally, whitening mouthwashes are not effective at addressing widespread staining. Instead, dentists typically recommend them for maintaining a whiter smile after you have used an at-home teeth-whitening treatment or received a clinical-bleaching treatment in the office.
If the soft bacterial plaque is not removed by brushing, minerals are deposited within it over time and it becomes a hard deposit on the tooth called tartar. The presence of tartar encourages the growth of the bacterial plaque towards the tooth roots. As the inflammation progresses deeper, the attachment of the gum to the root is disrupted and a gap or periodontal pocket is formed between them. This pocket is an ideal place for harmful bacteria to colonize and in which to multiply, therefore driving the disease process forward. In their new habitat, the bacteria release toxins as products of their metabolism, which further trigger the body’s defence mechanisms.

There is no hiding the fact that dental implants are expensive. Single tooth dental implant treatments range from $1500 to $7500. When attempting to explain why they are so expensive it is necessary to understand that the consumer is not buying a product but rather a service. It is very easy to forget this fact when price shopping. Dental implants are “medical devices” implanted into living tissue. This living tissue also is home to nerves, blood vessels and sinuses. The placement of dental implants is both art and science. Single-use items for each dental patient at new Islington Dentist N7
The two trays that are included in this set are a custom fit design. They are easy to mold by submerging them in hot water for a few seconds until they become supple and then biting into them, taking care not to scald your mouth from the hot water. You then just need to suck them into your teeth to remove any air and water trapped. If you don’t get it right first time, you can just submerge them in hot water again and have another go until you get a comfortable, snug fit.

Dental implant surgery is usually performed under local anesthetic, and therefore, no pain should be felt during the procedure. After the local anesthetic has worn off, the post-surgery discomfort will vary with each individual case. However, in general, most people will feel discomfort similar to a tooth extraction afterward. A cold ice pack is placed on skin over the area of surgery immediately after treatment to help reduce swelling. This pain typically can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol). More invasive surgery may require a stronger prescription pain medication and more recovery time. Aside from pain medications, prescriptions for antibiotics and oral rinses may be needed to support healing of the area for the following few weeks. Dental Implants Clinic Nurident- UK patient from London
Dentists and dental hygienists measure periodontal disease using a device called a periodontal probe. This thin "measuring stick" is gently placed into the space between the gums and the teeth, and slipped below the gumline. If the probe can slip more than 3 mm (0.12 in) below the gumline, the person is said to have a gingival pocket if no migration of the epithelial attachment has occurred or a periodontal pocket if apical migration has occurred. This is somewhat of a misnomer, as any depth is, in essence, a pocket, which in turn is defined by its depth, i.e., a 2-mm pocket or a 6-mm pocket. However, pockets are generally accepted as self-cleansable (at home, by the person, with a toothbrush) if they are 3 mm or less in depth. This is important because if a pocket is deeper than 3 mm around the tooth, at-home care will not be sufficient to cleanse the pocket, and professional care should be sought. When the pocket depths reach 6 to 7 mm (0.24 to 0.28 in) in depth, the hand instruments and cavitrons used by the dental professionals may not reach deeply enough into the pocket to clean out the microbial plaque that causes gingival inflammation. In such a situation, the bone or the gums around that tooth should be surgically altered or it will always have inflammation which will likely result in more bone loss around that tooth. An additional way to stop the inflammation would be for the person to receive subgingival antibiotics (such as minocycline) or undergo some form of gingival surgery to access the depths of the pockets and perhaps even change the pocket depths so they become 3 mm or less in depth and can once again be properly cleaned by the person at home with his or her toothbrush.

The gingiva surrounding a tooth has a 2–3 mm band of bright pink, very strong attached mucosa, then a darker, larger area of unattached mucosa that folds into the cheeks. When replacing a tooth with an implant, a band of strong, attached gingiva is needed to keep the implant healthy in the long-term. This is especially important with implants because the blood supply is more precarious in the gingiva surrounding an implant, and is theoretically more susceptible to injury because of a longer attachment to the implant than on a tooth (a longer biologic width).(pp629–633) Cheap Dentures London UK | Cerec Dentistry | Dental Implants Costs | Invisible Braces Central London

Advanced Periodontitis - In this more advanced stage of gum disease, the fibers and bone of your teeth are being destroyed, which can cause your teeth to shift or loosen. This can affect your bite and how you eat and communicate. If aggressive periodontal therapy can’t save them, teeth may need to be removed by a dental specialist. Your dentist will provide restorative options if teeth are removed due to periodontal disease.

When it comes to tooth replacement, generally, there are three options: (1) removable dental appliance (complete denture or partial denture), (2) fixed dental bridge (cemented), and (3) dental implant. Dentures are the more affordable option for replacement teeth but are the least desirable because of the inconvenience of a removable appliance in the mouth. Furthermore, dentures can affect one's taste and sensory experience with food. Dental bridgework was the more common restorative option prior to the relatively recent shift to dental implant treatment. The main disadvantage to bridgework is the dependence on existing natural teeth for support. Implants are supported by bone only and do not affect surrounding natural teeth. Deciding on which option to choose depends on many factors. Specifically for dental implants, these factors include Teeth Whitening at Dental Smiles London
For minor discoloration that is confined to one or two teeth, you can try using a teeth-whitening pen. A tooth-whitening pen uses the same types of ingredients present in a teeth-whitening treatment but allows you to precisely apply the bleach to the stain. Like teeth-whitening kits, pens must be used repeatedly over an extended period of time to produce noticeable results. Dental Implants Harley Street
Time is allowed for bone to heal and grow around the dental implant. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. A support post (abutment) is then placed on the implant and a new replacement tooth (crown) is placed on top of the abutment. In many cases a temporary replacement tooth can be attached to the implant immediately after it is placed. If all of your teeth are missing, a variety of treatment options are available to support the replacement teeth. Get Best Dentist In Holborn - Tom Parker - FreshDental Testimonial
Messiness aside, the Plus White kit is easy to use. Included are two trays, the whitening gel and a post-whitening rinse. Just brush your teeth with plain water, fill the trays with gel, put them on your teeth for 5 to 20 minutes, then rinse. Users agree with the testers at Reviews.com, saying they noticed whiter teeth pretty quickly, and they became even whiter over the treatment time of 14 days.
A recent addition to the field is new light-accelerated bleaching agents containing lower concentrations of hydrogen peroxide with a titanium oxide nanoparticle based catalyst. Reduced concentrations of hydrogen peroxide cause lower incidences of tooth hypersensitivity. The nanoparticles act as photocatalysts, and their size prevents them from diffusing deeply into the tooth. When exposed to light, the catalysts produce a rapid, localized breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into highly reactive radicals. Due to the extremely short lifetimes of the free radicals, they are able to produce bleaching effects similar to much higher concentration bleaching agents within the outer layers of the teeth where the nanoparticle catalysts are located. This provides effective tooth whitening while reducing the required concentration of hydrogen peroxide and other reactive byproducts at the tooth pulp.

Fillings, crowns, and other restorations. Tooth-colored fillings and resin composite materials used in dental restorations (crowns, veneers, bonding, bridges) do not whiten. Therefore, using a whitening agent on teeth that contain restorations will result in uneven whitening -- in this case, making the teeth without restorations appear lighter than those with restorations. Any whitening procedure should be done prior to the placement of restorations. Dr. William Biggins, Camden, SC, Dentist - TV Ad
The Power Swabs® system was first introduced in 2008 with a breakthrough, patented teeth whitening technology developed by celebrated dentist Dr. Martin Giniger. In fact, Dr. Giniger’s Power Swabs home teeth whitening product is proven to whiten teeth as well as white strips, but with far less sensitivity and greater ease of use. To accomplish this, Power Swabs whitening products use a patented combination of clinically-researched ingredients to reach between enamel and break the molecular bonds between positively charged stained molecules and the negatively charged surfaces they are bound to for a platinum white clean. An added bonus to the gentle formula is that it works on cosmetic dentistry as well as natural teeth. London Cosmetic Dentistry - Dental Smile Makeover

Implant treatments range from the immediate replacement of an extracted tooth to over six months when jaw surgery and bone grafting is needed. The average treatment is three to six months. Most of the time required to complete implant treatment is taken up just waiting for the bone to fuse completely with the implant. This usually takes a few months and goes on below the gum line without any feeling or awareness. In more complex cases treatment may be longer.
Experts agree: the best choice for most people for whitening their teeth at home are teeth whitening strips. They are easy to use, with little muss or fuss involved, and cause a minimal amount of pain. Furthermore, experts and users also agree that Crest 3D Whitestrips are the best strips you can use. Reviewers say that they see a noticeable difference in their smile even after a few days -- and a very big difference after the recommended treatment time, which is 14 to 20 days, depending upon formulation.

Nearly half the initial change in color provided by an intensive in-office treatment (i.e., 1 hour treatment in a dentist's chair) may be lost in seven days. Rebound is experienced when a large proportion of the tooth whitening has come from tooth dehydration (also a significant factor in causing sensitivity). As the tooth rehydrates, tooth color "rebounds", back toward where it started. Dental Implants Cost - What is the Cost of Dental Implants?
Hydrogen peroxide is an irritant and cytotoxic. At concentrations of 10% or higher, hydrogen peroxide is potentially corrosive to mucous membranes or skin and can cause a burning sensation and tissue damage. Chemical burns from gel bleaching (if a high-concentration oxidising agent contacts unprotected tissues, which may bleach or discolor mucous membranes). Tissue irritation most commonly results from an ill-fitting mouthpiece tray rather than the tooth-bleaching agent.
Other, more invasive procedures, also exist for larger bone defects including mobilization of the inferior alveolar nerve to allow placement of a fixture, onlay bone grafting using the iliac crest or another large source of bone and microvascular bone graft where the blood supply to the bone is transplanted with the source bone and reconnected to the local blood supply.(pp5–6) The final decision about which bone grafting technique that is best is based on an assessment of the degree of vertical and horizontal bone loss that exists, each of which is classified into mild (2–3 mm loss), moderate (4–6 mm loss) or severe (greater than 6 mm loss).(p17) Orthodontic extrusion or orthodontic implant site development can be used in selected cases for vertical/horizontal alveolar augmentation.

Your dentist or periodontist is able to perform most procedures in his or her office. The time needed to perform the procedure, your degree of discomfort, and time needed to heal will vary from patient to patient depending on the type and extent of the procedure and your overall health. Local anesthesia to numb the treatment area may be given before some treatments. If necessary, a medication may be given to help you relax.

While Crest Gentle Routine strips are great for sensitive teeth, the lower peroxide level means it also takes longer to see full results — 28 days compared to Glamorous White’s 20 days — which is something to keep in mind if you’re whitening for an upcoming event. Additionally, the experts we consulted, our testers, and findings from beauty sites such as TotalBeauty.com and Men’s Health agreed that the higher the peroxide content, the better the final results.

In late June, Landon Turner sat in his wheelchair in Indiana and watched the Washington Wizards select John Wall as the first overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft.
It brought back memories.
Turner has been sitting in a wheelchair ever since a one-car accident on July 25, 1981, left him paralyzed from the chest down, four months after Turner helped Isiah Thomas and Indiana University beat North Carolina for the 1981 NCAA Championship.
That didn't stop the Boston Celtics from drafting Turner in the 1982 NBA Draft.
"It was a complete surprise. It was close to my heart when they drafted me," said Turner, whom Boston selected as the last pick in the 10th and final round.
"Red [Auerbach] did send me a couple championship watches -- from '84 and '86 -- which was very nice," Turner said. "I have them to this day. They are in my safe right now."
Turner, a 6-foot-10, 235-pound forward and center, made the all-tournament team as a junior and averaged 9.5 points and 3.7 rebounds per game during the regular season. He was NBA-bound and still draws comparisons to North Carolina's James Worthy, whom Turner guarded in the title game and went first overall in the '82 draft.
"Landon was the type of athlete that Worthy was. He [Turner] had all the makings of being a great power forward," remembered Thomas, Turner's teammate and now head coach at Florida International University.
Then the accident happened. Turner was hospitalized and unconscious for five days. He spent five months there, immobilized and unable to speak because of an emergency tracheotomy.
"I will never forget walking into the hospital room and just seeing him wired up to all these machines," said Thomas, who was drafted by the Detroit Pistons in 1981. "They had this brace on his neck. I just remember how massively big he looked lying there."

Being a grown-up sometimes means you decide it’s ice cream sundae night for no particular reason. Kevin opted out, but the kids were thrilled. Base of strawberry ice cream (Breyer’s was not strawberry enough for Kavi and my taste, though — recs for more strawberry strawberry ice cream welcome):
• I went for banana, strawberry, raspberry, and dark Callebaut chocolate chips
• Kavi wanted just loads of fresh strawberries + Callebaut ruby chocolate chips (she says it’s really good)
• Anand had his with my suggested banana + milk toffee crumble combo, which is an inspired combination, if I do say so myself; we both agreed his would have been even better with a great vanilla bean ice cream; clearly I should always have great vanilla bean ice cream in the freezer.

St. Lucie County rules will allow up to 8 medical-marijuana dispensaries | Videos
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Up to eight medical-marijuana dispensaries will be allowed to open in unincorporated areas of the county now that the County Commission has OK'd rules regulating how they must operate here.
The dispensaries must be at least 5 miles apart, and would be allowed only in commercial-general zoning areas. They must be at least 1,000 feet from schools, daycare centers, religious institutions, parks and liquor stores.
Commercial-general zoning areas mostly are along heavily traveled roads such as U.S. 1, Orange Avenue, Okeechobee Road and St. Lucie Boulevard near the Treasure Coast International Airport.
The facilities could be open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
The commission vote on Tuesday had been delayed for two weeks to consider the Sheriff’s Office request for a 5-mile buffer.
County staff had proposed 1 mile, which would have allowed 32 dispensaries. The Sheriff’s Office also recommended the distances from daycare facilities, religious institutions and liquor stores.
Miami-Dade and Citrus counties have set 1-mile buffers between dispensaries and 1,000 feet for schools, daycare facilities and religious institutions.
County Commissioner Frannie Hutchinson objected to giving the Sheriff's Office authority to inspect the dispensaries' financial records.
“It’s not that I don’t want law enforcement officers there. I do,” Hutchinson said. “I think this type of ordinance (with the inspection provision) oversteps the bounds for any business.”
However, Sheriff’s Office Capt. Douglas Hardie
said removing the language prevents the Sheriff’s Office from conducting compliance checks, similar to what the agency does with pawn shops, to make sure dispensaries are following state law.
“What we don’t want to do is to fall into the pitfalls of other states where this law was enacted poorly,” Hardie said.
The new rules would be effective after Florida Department of State certifies the law, which could take about a week, said Katherine Barbieri, assistant county attorney.
Florida voters on Nov. 8 passed Amendment 2, which legalized the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes.
In Port St. Lucie, the city Legal Department is drafting a proposed set of regulations for medical-marijuana sales. The City Council is expected to discuss those rules in June.
Staff reporter Nicole Rodriguez contributed to this report.


Paperclips, a new game from designer Frank Lantz, starts simply. The top left of the screen gets a bit of text, probably in Times New Roman, and a couple of clickable buttons: Make a paperclip. You click, and a counter turns over. One.
The game ends—big, significant spoiler here—with the destruction of the universe.
In between, Lantz, the director of the New York University Games Center, manages to incept the player with a new appreciation for the narrative potential of addictive clicker games, exponential growth curves, and artificial intelligence run amok.
Lantz figured it would take him a weekend to build.
It took him nine months.
And then it went viral.
The idea of a paperclip-making AI didn’t originate with Lantz. Most people ascribe it to Nick Bostrom, a philosopher at Oxford University and the author of the book Superintelligence. The New Yorker (owned by Condé Nast, which also owns Wired) called Bostrom “the philosopher of doomsday,” because he writes and thinks deeply about what would happen if a computer got really, really smart. Not, like, “wow, Alexa can understand me when I ask it to play NPR” smart, but like really smart.
In 2003, Bostrom wrote that the idea of a superintelligent AI serving humanity or a single person was perfectly reasonable. But, he added, “It also seems perfectly possible to have a superintelligence whose sole goal is something completely arbitrary, such as to manufacture as many paperclips as possible, and who would resist with all its might any attempt to alter this goal.” The result? “It starts transforming first all of earth and then increasing portions of space into paperclip manufacturing facilities.”
Bostrom declined to comment, but his assistant did send this email back when I pinged him: “Oh, this is regarding the paper clipping game,” she wrote. “He has looked at the game but due to the overwhelming number of requests, he hasn't been sharing quotes on it.”
One of Bostrom’s fellow doomsayers did agree to explain the origin of paperclips as the End of All Things. “It sounds like something I would say, but it also sounds like something Nick Bostrom would say,” says Eliezer Yudkowsky, a senior research fellow at the Machine Intelligence Research Institute. Probably, he says, the idea originated years ago on a mailing list for singularity cassandras, which sounds like the world’s most terrifying listserv. “The idea isn’t that a paperclip factory is likely to have the most advanced research AI in the world. The idea is to express the orthogonality thesis, which is that you can have arbitrarily great intelligence hooked up to any goal,” Yudkowsky says.

Holy cow - our apartment is pretty close to the Greek Orthodox Church in Dilworth, and their annual Greek Festival is this weekend. We took advantage of the drive-thru food lane for lunch on Saturday and picked up gyros and a big Greek salad. It was D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! And why doesn't every festival EVER have a drive-thru food lane? I can totally get behind that.
It was a good food weekend all around - on Friday night I chowed down on pretzels and a big skillet full of mussels in beer broth at the Liberty in South End.
Here's what else is cookin' this week:
Sunday - Roast Beef, Lightened Up Creamed Spinach, Roasted red potatoes
Monday - Chicken Sausage & quinoa with veggies
Tuesday - Rotini with Butternut Squash sauce
Wednesday - Eggplant Parm (I love the frozen breaded eggplant cutlets at Trader Joe's, they're better than you can get at many restaurants.)
Thursday - Coconut Shrimp
Plus I'm planning to stock the freezer with several types of veggie burgers, which I'll write about tomorrow.

Fourth-year forward Ally Evanyshyn scored six goals, including two game winners and a hat trick, leading the two-time OUA defending champion Varsity Blues field hockey team to three wins at home this weekend (Sept. 21-22). On Saturday, the Burlington, Ont., native scored the game-winner in a 3-1 victory over the Western Mustangs. Evanyshyn added two more goals in the back half of Toronto's Saturday doubleheader, a 6-0 win over York. Evanyshyn's hot hands were back at it on Sunday, as the physical education major notched a hat trick in a 6-0 win over McGill. Evanyshyn leads the OUA with nine goals in five games so far this season.
MALE: Michael Clouthier, Waterloo Warriors, Baseball
Rookie first baseman Michael Clouthier (Guelph, Ont.) was unstoppable for the Waterloo Warriors baseball team this past week posting a .600 average while knocking four balls out of the park in just three games played. The kinesiology major added an impressive 11 RBI, six runs scored as well as a single, a double and three walks. Despite Clouthier’s triple crown calibre weekend, Waterloo went 1-2 in three tightly contested games with Western and Toronto. Waterloo is 7-4 to start the OUA baseball season.

Mobile version of League of Legends: Wild Rift heads to North America in March
Those who reside in North America will be able to try out the mobile version of League of Legends: Wild Rift in March.
According to Riot, an open beta for the mobile version of League of Legends: Wild Rift will be made available in March.
While currently playable in other parts of the world, this will be the first time it will be made available in North America.
Wild Rift is also coming to consoles, but whether or not it too will be made available in March wasn’t stated. But you can at least expect to grab the beta off the App Store and Google Play. News of the open beta was announced during the League of Legends opening day stream, which you can watch above.
Riot said players of the game can expect regular events, ARAM mode, two new characters per month, and ranked seasons.
Announced in October 2020, the game is not a port of League of Legends on PC, but a new game built from scratch to ensure “it is a polished, legitimate LoL experience.”
Matches in Wild Rift are also designed to be shorter than a standard desktop game in LoL, and will last around 15 to 18 minutes.
The post Mobile version of League of Legends: Wild Rift heads to North America in March appeared first on VG247.
