3D printing has opened up new flexibility and possibilities when it comes to design for additive manufacturing (AM). Engineers can create complex shapes and combine multiple parts into one in ways that were not cost-effective to produce using traditional machining or injection molding.
But that complexity comes at a cost, and many early adopters experienced the pain of failed builds, expenses and out-of-spec parts because they did not fully grasp the requirements and limitations of the support structures, new materials and post-processing steps needed to bring those designs to life. Traditional CAD design practices and simulation processes have also proven challenging to migrate into the 3D printing world.
Design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) requires a new way of looking at parts—redesigning them for print operations rather than adapting existing drawings. Common features like horizontal circular holes raise new design considerations, even as AM processes may reduce complexity in other areas.
Designing for specific manufacturing methods isn’t anything designers don’t already face—if a part is going to be milled, you have to consider the tool path; injection molding requires thinking about draft angles. 3D printing requires learning a new set of limitations and requirements, while also adopting a new mindset when it comes to taking advantage of the benefits of the technology.
“What we’ve found with 3D printing is really that a lack of education causes these roadblocks,” says Ben Redwood, director of supply chain at 3D Hubs and co-author of “The 3D Printing Handbook.”
“People are aware that there are limitations, but they don’t know what they are,” Redwood adds.
Those limitations and possibilities can vary significantly depending on what type of printing process you are using. In the book, Redwood and co-authors Brian Garrett and Filemon Schöffer outline the differences in support structure requirements, finish quality, post-processing and other elements for the major 3D printing technologies. Each one has strengths and weaknesses depending on the part type and application.
Starting from Scratch
“Engineers are looking at redesigning parts in an entirely new way,” says Tod Parrella, senior product manager for NX Design solutions at Siemens PLM Software. Siemens’ own gas turbine division was able to consolidate more than a dozen components in a burner assembly into a single design using additive manufacturing, but “the possibilities opened up using additive in the actual design of parts aren’t free by a long shot,” Parrella adds. “There is a whole new set of design constraints that needs to be considered.”
Those constraints are numerous, but some of the most common elements that can lead to a failed build or add expense or time to the process include:
Layer Height: For processes where material is deposited in uniform layers, the height of layers affects build time and finish quality. Generally speaking, the thicker the layer, the faster the print, but the rougher the finish.
Wall Thickness: This can be a challenge for companies trying to migrate an existing design that was previously injection molded or machined to a 3D printing process. “People will try to create extremely thin or thick geometries based on conventional methods,” says Allen Kreemer, senior manager of applications engineering at Stratasys.
Very thin walls won’t survive the print process, while very thick structures will result in slow builds and higher costs. “Don’t print a brick,” Kreemer says. “It’s inefficient and expensive. You want to hollow out or use a honeycomb fill for a thicker geometry, and even that still requires a large volume of material that may be cost-prohibitive.”
Wall thickness also affects material curing rates (with some processes) and part performance. “If you design a hinge or a snap fit, the wall thicknesses around those features are going to affect how the part works,” says Jon Eric Van Roekel, process engineering manager for 3D printing at Proto Labs.
Shrinkage/Warping: Again, this can vary based on the material and printing process. As the material cools during the build, different features can warp or shrink, which causes cracking. Consistent wall thicknesses can help avoid this, as can part orientation on the print bed.
Supports: Holes, overhangs, edges and other surfaces may require support structures during the build process that have to be removed in post-processing. Removal of the supports can affect the final finish quality. In addition, a design that requires too many supports can result in large amounts of expensive scrap material and slower build times.
For some processes, water-soluble supports can be easily washed away in post-processing. Others require time-consuming machining or sanding.
Designers can reduce the need for supports by avoiding sharp overhangs and angles. “You can design around self-supporting angles so you don’t need the supports running up the side of the part,” Kreemer says. “That also improves build speeds and reduces cost, as well as shortens post-processing time.”
Orientation: The orientation of the part in the print bed can have a significant effect on build times, the need for supports and even the strength of the final product. In Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and other processes, the layering of the material during printing can affect part strength. Parts under tension should be printed with the build direction parallel to the load.
Orientation is an important topic designers should discuss with the manufacturing team. “It’s often a surprise to customers because it can jack up the lead times and time-to-part, and also significantly affect the part price,” Van Roekel says.
Variability: With the exception of expensive, high-end production systems, 3D printing still generates a lot of variability in quality. The same machine can give you different results depending on the time of day, the operator or the age of the material being used.
Many AM systems can require a significant amount of maintenance and calibration to ensure part consistency. “AM is not nearly as stable as injection molding,” Van Roekel says. “We’ve seen in the past a lot of variability and dimensionality, as well as differences in surface clarity of parts. We put a lot of effort into maintenance and tracking all of the compensation values so we can reduce the amount of variance both machine to machine, and build to build.”
Holes: There are two types of challenges when it comes to holes. First, some print processes (like those using powder) require escape holes so that excess material can be evacuated during or after the build.
The holes can be plugged or filled after printing if they affect the performance of appearance of the part. “Putting holes all over a design doesn’t always appeal to people, but once we explain the risk of the print failing, they are usually open to it,” Redwood says. “There are solutions, such as plugging the holes and sanding them. Quality is really the main driver.”
Holes that are part of the actual design present different challenges. To print a circular, horizontal hole requires a significant amount of support material. Luckily, in the 3D printing world, holes no longer have to be circular.
“Over the years, we’ve found that no matter how perfectly the machine can print, never trust a round hole to come off that machine, regardless of part orientation,” Kreemer says. “Every operator winds up reaming out the holes using conventional methods.”
Because of this, Kreemer says that with FDM machines, Stratasys recommends designing undersized square holes that are rotated 45°. “If you make a hole round, the software is going to generate a support inside that hole, which slows you down and wastes material. If you convert that to a square and rotate it, the software ignores it and doesn’t add a support. Once the build is done, that square hole is a perfect center point for the drill to ream out the hole after the fact.”
Companies that are new to additive must realize that using additive versus machining or injection molding is not always an either/or proposition. Metal parts may need to be machined to obtain the correct surface finish, for example, or holes may need to be widened or drilled after the fact. The design may also need adjusted to accommodate those post-processing operations.
“That’s another area where engineers are going to have to think about these issues, and learn to go through an iterative process to modify the design so they get a final part that meets their requirements,” says Bob Yancey, director of manufacturing and production industry strategy and business development at Autodesk. “Having more intelligence in the design tools to guide them upfront so they can go through fewer physical iterations is going to be important.”
However, modifying designs so that they are optimized for AM is still a process that often happens later rather than sooner.
“One of the impediments is that CAD software generally being used in industry was designed for traditional manufacturing processes,” Yancey says. “Being able to represent some complex geometries can bog down a CAD system. There is also a lack of understanding and experience within the design community in how to design for additive and take advantage of some of the unique capabilities it presents, as well as address its limitations and constraints.”
Siemens has implemented a suite of design validation and checking capabilities to help ensure designs are optimized for manufacturing. “We are taking those tools and extending them to consider design for additive,” Parrella says. “We have tools that can run those checks very quickly and show where the manufacturing engineers are going to build supports based on the orientation of the part.”
That opens up a dialogue between the design and manufacturing engineers, because the design or the orientation can be changed to alter the location of supports, or reduce the need for them by creating features that are self-supporting.
There are also services like 3D Hubs where designers can upload a file and do a quick analysis on which technology is most suitable for the application, or where designer features might need altered for additive.
That level of automation and intuitive software interaction doesn’t exist on a wide scale yet. “We’d love to be there at the beginning of the drawing stage,” says Stratasys’ Kreemer. “We’re really at the mid-mark now with tools that can alter a current design. If you can import a design and apply all of these rules in an automated setting, that will be a huge leap. That’s where the industry needs to go. There’s also room for more software partnerships and even acquisitions to make this seamless.”
Simulation is also an evolving area when it comes to additive, because the build process itself has to be worked into the simulation—and the existing knowledge base relative to materials and other elements is still emerging. “A good example is heat buildup when using fused metal deposition,” Parrella says. “Heat buildup in the part is going to cause all sorts of challenges with how the final part shape ends up. Support structures can remove heat from the build process and affect part warping.”
There is also much greater reliance on materials and processes when it comes to qualifying parts for stringent applications like aerospace and automotive. Manufacturers will need to validate their entire additive manufacturing process to ensure part quality—and that includes how materials were sourced, handled and stored.
That’s going to be difficult in some cases because the material data is still being created, and new types of structures will require additional analysis. “It’s very difficult and time-consuming to get good simulation and correlation because we just don’t have consistent XYZ properties,” Kreemer says. “And we’re still not able to simulate around a failure—occlusion or voids in a build.”
Lattice structures are a good example, Yancey says. “There’s not been a good way to simulate those types of structures,” he says. “The research is going on, but there’s no successful strategy for simulating lattice yet.”
Generative design approaches will also be important—designers can specify variables, constraints and objectives, and then let the software generate design iterations that factor in those variables. “Our generative design approach can help come up with a range of solutions that an engineer can sort through and determine what type of geometry will best meet engineering and business needs,” Yancey says of Autodesk. “For AM, particularly in metals, that allows engineers to test designs before building them to make sure they won’t have issues with residual stresses or distortions.”
Other advancements like topology optimization will also help improve the simulation of the entire process. “You upload the part in a large, bulky shape and then add loads and parameters to simulate the environment,” Redwood says. “You can design for uniform wall thickness, or ways to dissipate heat. That opens up the door for more repeatability.”
Design for Additive Manufacturing Requires a New Mindset
The adoption of 3D printing for manufacturing will require enterprise-level disruption and a new approach to product development. It will also require a lot of research and experimentation, as well as ongoing design for additive manufacturing education.
Yancey says that many companies with AM groups have turned to younger engineers who aren’t biased by their experiences with traditional manufacturing processes. “There is a lot of retraining that needs to happen with existing design engineers, and we have to develop curriculums in our schools that can train them for additive manufacturing. The bulk of current curriculums are really built around traditional approaches.”
Manufacturers also have to make the leap to designing specifically for AM. “The worst case is to try and print a molded part,” Kreemer says. “If they only issue one set of drawings around injection molding, it’s not going to work. But they aren’t willing to invest in redesigning for additive. Companies will need to make a bold move and say, ‘This part will only be printed for the life of the product,’ so they aren’t doubling the design time.”
Not every part or assembly is going to be a good candidate for AM, or may require multiprocess manufacturing that combines printing with machining or other approaches. Companies will need to balance additive’s ability to reduce part complexity, weight and or cost against the inherent complexities that come with 3D printing.
“When people come fresh to the technology, they do think that anything is possible, but that’s just not the case at the moment,” Redwood says. “You have to present the limitations and design requirements of the process, and adjust the design accordingly.”
Ultimately, more of these considerations will be part of an automated process much earlier in the design phase, whether through generative design approaches or analytic tools that can evaluate designs based on their compatibility with different AM processes.
There will also need to be more collaboration among manufacturing, design and R&D engineers. “That’s a big cultural shift,” Kreemer says. “We either have to move to a more well-connected R&D and production staff, or create more opportunities for production engineers to tinker and test new things. That’s difficult, because they just aren’t wired that way. Creating innovation centers can allow for that experimentation.”

Ruto summons coalition MPs for brief
President William Ruto has summoned National Assembly MPs from the Kenya Kwanza coalition to deliberate on the leadership of various house committees as well as take them through various legislative proposals including the Hustler’s Fund.
Sources aware of the meeting said that during the Parliamentary Group (PG) meeting that will take place today at State House starting from 7:30am to 9:30am, Ruto will also take the opportunity to thank the lawmakers for approving his nominees to the position of cabinet secretary.
The lawmakers unanimously approved all the nominees during yesterday’s session.
On the Hustlers’ Fund, it is understood that Ruto will take members through the Fund, which is expected to be operational in December this year with the government allocating Sh50 billion annually to offer affordable credit to Medium Small Enterprises (MSMEs).
The MPs who did not want to be named, revealed they were invited for the meeting through a message from Majority Whip and South Mugirango MP Sylvanus Osoro .
“Yes we have been summoned to State House tomorrow morning (today) and the meeting is largely on the constitution of house committees, passage of various loeg8ilstive proposals as well as to thank us for approving his candidates,” said the MP who did not want to be named.
During the PG, which will be the third since Ruto was declared the winner, the MPs will be expected to endorse a list of nominees who will chair various house committees.
The endorsements come hours before the said names are tabled in the house for approval.
According to the tentative order paper for today, members are set to debate and approve the list of nominees to various committees to pave the way for the election of chairs and vice chairpersons next week.
“It is notified that the following business is tentatively scheduled to appear in the Order Paper for Thursday, October 27, 2022, motion - appointment of members to committees,” reads the order paper.
Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa although remained non-committal on the matter said as MPs, they are proud of Ruto for ensuring there is unity in the coalition.
“William is a very democratic person and up to now we are still shocked as to how he is able to accommodate everyone including persons who just came into the coalition the other day,” he said.
The PG comes at a time when more than 262 members of the National Assembly have been jostling to be placed in seven committees regarded as lucrative.
Among those on demand include the Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC), Transport and Infrastructure committee, Water and Irrigation committee, Health committee, Energy committee, Finance committee and Public Accounts Committee (PAC).
According to the standing orders every Member has the right to serve in at least one committee of the House.
In the budget and appropriations committee over 100 MPs from both sides of the divide have expressed interests to serve yet the standing orders provide that it should consist of a chairperson, and not more than 26 members.
In the transport committee, over 78 members from the Kenya Kwanza side have expressed interest for the said committee yet they have eight slots as the total membership stands at 15.
Control of committees
Despite the fight for the control of the committees, so far, the Kenya Kwanza team has fronted Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro as chair of Budget Appropriation Committee, Kimilili MP DIdmus Barasa as chair Transport and Infrastructure, Kimani Kuria (Molo) as the Finance chair and Nelson Koech (Belgut) as the Defence and Foreign Affairs chair
Others are Julius Meli (Tinderet) who will spearhead the Education Committee, Robert Pukose (Endebes) who will chair the health committee, Maara MP Kareke Mbiuki will chair the Water committee while Kwanza MP Ferdinand Wanyonyi will chair Agriculture.
Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya) will chair Labour and social welfare, Haika Mzighi (Taita Taveta county woman Rep) will chair immigration and diaspora committee, Joash Omoko (North Mugirango) will chair lands committee, Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West) will chair Administration and National Security, Rahab Mukami (Nyeri Woman Rep) will chair Members Welfare and facilities, Samuel Chepkonga (Ainabkoi) will chair Justice and Legal affairs while Webuye West MP Dan Wanyama will chair sports.

“Shinrai! Wait!” Shinrai turned around, only to find Mura running towards her. She sighed, and braced herself for the music-obsessed girl to slam into her once more. CRASH “Yep, just as I thought.” Shinrai told herself under a very tired, brunette girl. “Why can’t you ever learn to slow down and then stop like a normal person?” Mura panted some madami before answering. “I’m not normal.” she replied. “Well just stop following me, OK?” Shinrai snapped as she threw her converser off her and got up.

SANDUSKY, Ohio (WCMH)– After being shuttered for more than a year following an accident where a woman was severely injured, Cedar Point announced the official retirement of its Top Thrill Dragster roller coaster.
The amusement park made the announcement on social media Tuesday morning:
After 19 seasons in operation with 18 million riders experiencing the world’s first strata coaster, Top Thrill Dragster, as you know it, is being retired.Cedar Point
However, Cedar Point’s legacy of ride innovation continues. Our team is hard at work, creating a new and reimagined ride experience.
The statement went on to say that they would share more specific information on a new project at a later date.
Top Thrill Dragster, which goes from 0 mph to 120 mph in less than 4 seconds, closed after the Aug. 15, 2021 incident where a part flew off the ride and hit a 44-year-old woman in the head while she was standing in line. After several inspections, it remained closed for the entirety of the 2022 season.
The Ohio Department of Agriculture, which is in charge of ride inspections in Ohio, said an L-shaped bracket dislodged from the side of the ride’s train car. Inspectors also found half the bolts that secured the plate to the train body had dislodged. The bracket, called a flash plate, is used to communicate to the ride’s operating system that the car passed a portion of the track. The part is about the size of a man’s hand.
When it was built in 2003, Top Thrill Dragster was the tallest roller coaster in the world at 420 feet.

There was national uproar in 2016 when dairy farmers across the country were left hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt after Australia’s biggest dairy processor, Murray Goulburn, and New Zealand giant, Fronterra, reduced milk prices in an attempt to dominate the market.
The public offered support on social media, spawning a move to boycott cheap milk deals, and the Australian government pitched in by supplying farmers with a $555 billion lifeline to assist farmers who were left out of pocket by the processors’ move.
But the price war continues today between major milk corporations and farmers.
Meanwhile, farmers and agricultural workers of all types battle other long-term stresses, including volatile weather, heavy debt, erratic markets for their goods, long working hours, and the big costs that come from machinery breakdowns and expensive supplies.
And while a $555 billion helping hand sounds like a lot of money, Australian farmers typically receive the second-lowest subsidies of all farmers in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries.
A 2013 OECD report compared agricultural policies of 47 countries including agricultural heavyweights such as Brazil, China, Indonesia and Russia (the 47 countries in total provide 80 per cent of the world’s agricultural produce).
According to the report, Australia has a ‘producer support estimate’ of 3 percent. A producer support estimate measures the level at which consumers and taxpayers support agricultural producers. At 3 per cent, Australia’s support level for farmers is higher only than New Zealand’s.
But should farmers receive assistance at all, given many other industries do not? Or are they more deserving than, say, car manufacturers, which were unable to remain viable even with heavy assistance?
A 2014 opinion piece published by the ABC questioned why farming was somehow seen as more noble than the many other small businesses run by families all over the country.
“Plenty of family businesses – be they grocery stores, pharmacies, bakeries, book publishers, or restaurants – have been allowed to go to the wall with nary a blink from the government,” Paula Matthewson wrote.
“Many of those sectors are also exposed to the challenges that farmers claim make them a special case – being squeezed out by bigger entities along the supply chain, inability to achieve economies of scale, the high value of the dollar, and being undercut by dumped product. Yet when those challenges include a dry spell or drought – which, let’s face it, is hardly an uncommon occurrence in Australia – then apparently it’s time for disaster relief.”
Commenters on debating forum Debate.org had opinions on both sides of the fence..
“If you think giving money to gigantic unwieldy mega-banks is a bad idea, you have no business advocating farmer subsidies,” one user pointed out. “If a farmer develops a good method for growing a cash crop, why shouldn’t he buy out farmers who use inferior methods? Progress is somebody having a better idea. You shouldn’t try to stop progress.”
Others thought differently.
“Growing food ourselves helps the economy by providing jobs and work while keeping our funds internal instead of sending them overseas to purchase foodstuffs externally,” another user retorted. “As it stands, helping farmers through a rough patch is healthier than simply outsourcing.”
An article by The Guardian highlighted that subsidies may lead to an overuse of fertilisers and pesticides by rewarding farmers that used them, which could harm the environment by causing oil degradation, groundwater depletion and other negative environmental impacts.
The article also claims that subsidies could distort global commodity markets and affect the global economy.
But if everyone else is doing it – China, for example, has ramped up its agricultural subsidies in recent years – will Aussie farmers lose in the global marketplace if they don’t get more help, thus costing the local economy jobs and thus money?

When we talk about oral health, what we picture most are a set of pure white smiles. Oftentimes, we spend so much on the whitening and aesthetic aspect that we forget that there is more to dental health than the color of your teeth.
My opinion is that healthy gums and strong teeth are two of the most important aspects of a healthy mouth. People who have sensitive teeth or painful gums are likely to complain more than those who have whiter teeth.
Of course, that is not to say that one thing is more important than the other.
Regular visits to the dentist are essential for maintaining strong, healthy teeth. However, regular dentist visits can cost a lot and in this economy, sometimes you don’t even have enough to afford a regular dentist visit.
This is why oral hygiene is so important.
Maintaining your oral health is key to maintaining your teeth. Regular toothbrush, proper gum care. All these things are crucial for healthy teeth.
Then there is oral probiotics.
For those of you who prefer a more visual experience, here is a video review from Health And Fitness Tips USA YouTube channel. To get a comprehensive overview of ProDentim, you may still want to check out our article below.
Oral Probiotics Which Oral Probiotic Is The Best
Probiotics are a mix of beneficial or live bacteria and yeast that naturally exist in your body. That’s right! Not all bacteria is bad. Some bacteria can help your body function effectively and well. Your body’s microbiome is made up of good bacteria.
Probiotics are something that most people have heard of. Despite this, I’m willing to wager that most people are not aware of probiotics. It isn’t surprising really. Our stomach is the main place where food is processed.
Oral probiotics meanwhile is somewhat of an astonishing concept. It is something most people wouldn’t know, a lot would feel uncomfortable by the fact of bacteria lving in their mouth.
However just as the gut has its own set of bacteria, so does the mouth. The specific strains in oral probiotics are what works hard to maintain a healthy mouth and improve oral health. They promote good bacteria growth and protect against the growth of harmful bacteria.
Oral probiotics can prevent many conditions, including periodontitis or gingivitis, bad breath, tonsilitis, oral cancer, and some respiratory infections.
The good bacteria in oral probiotics can also create biofilms to replace those created by undesirable bacteria. These biofilms can support the health and well-being of your teeth and gums. They also reduce inflammation and prevent bad bacteria from reaching your enamel and gum tissue.
Unlike gut probiotics, oral probiotic supplements are usually taken by taking chewable tablets or lozenges. This way, the good bacteria can be delivered directly to your mouth. Tablets are not used as they dissolve in the stomach and not in the mouth and you need the bacteria in your mouth.
ProDentim is among these probiotic supplements.
ProDentim: An Overview
ProDentim is an oral supplement that improves your gums’ health. It does this by supplementing the oral microbes found in the mouth.
People who suffer from or struggle with dental problems will find oral supplements especially beneficial. Oral supplements allow you to maintain dental health in a less pricey way. It removes the need for following specific procedures, expensive medicines and frequent dental visits.
Supplementary medicines like ProDentim can help in preventing issues that recommended dental routines cannot stop. As such, it is important to remember that ProDentim may not work if you do not brush and floss your teeth regularly or even use mouthwash.
Probiotics that are included in ProDentim can also benefit the body in its other functions. They are known to aid in energy production, metabolism, and fat absorption.
Regular use of the oral supplement also has the added benefit of a brighter and stronger teeth. This even includes damage that was caused by age.
While ProDentim mainly focuses on the teeth, this supplement also targets your respiratory system and protects your body from allergies. It can also help promote restful sleep and good digestion.
The Benefits of ProDentim
ProDentim was specifically designed to support your healthy oral bacteria. ProDentim is specifically formulated to help your good oral bacteria. Your mouth will be healthier than you could ever imagine.
Each dosage of ProDentin includes around 3.5 billion probiotics that adds diversity in your body’s microfauna inside your mouth. This is highly important as it helps maintain the balance of good and bad bacteria.
Regular usage of the recommended ProDentim can net you with the following effects:
- Better immune system
- Improved digestive health
- Greater strength of the teeth and gums
- Fresher breath
- Allergies reduced
- A more visible and white teeth
Ingredients: What’s Inside ProDentim?
When it comes to food supplements, it is always a good practice to check on the ingredients that are used in manufacturing the product. Because doctors rarely prescribe food supplements, this is important. Some may even contain harmful ingredients rather than useful ones.
Sometimes, you may wonder why a product isn’t working for you. Or if it has caused you more grief than it helped. The answer for these problems might lie in the ingredients.
Sometimes, a product contains an allergen or ingredient that you are not allergic to. Sometimes there is something in the supplement that may not work well or react badly with the current medication or diet you are taking. Both synthetic and natural products can experience this. Which Oral Probiotic Is The Best
We provide an overview of ProDentim’s ingredients to help you as a buyer decide if ProDentim is worth it.
In the case of ProDentim, it is formulated with around 3.5 strains of good bacteria to reinforce those found in your mouth. Some natural ingredients were also included that have been proven to be beneficial for oral health.
The active ingredients for ProDentim are as follows:
Lactobacillus Reuteri is a probiotic that is known to colonize many mammals. It can be found in the skin, urinary tract, and gastrointestinal tracts of many mammals, including humans.
It plays a key role in digestion and metabolism. The body’s balance with L. Reuteri can be upset, causing many problems including disruptions in the digestion and absorption of food.
L. Reuteri is also beneficial in dental health for stopping bad bacteria from growing. These bacteria may cause infections and inflammations.
L. Paracasei is commonly found in human intestinal tracts and especially in the mouth. It is among the most studied good bacteria because of its benefits towards gut health.
Its main purpose is to help in digestion and boost body immunity. People who are lactose intolerant should consume foods and supplements that include L.Paracasei, such as ProDentim. This is because it can aid in digestion of lactose rich foods, including milk.
L. Paracasei is also a great way to keep your sinuses open, and your gums healthy.
BLIS M-18 and BLIS K-12
These are two strains of Streptococcus salivarius that support the natural immune defenses. They prevent infections of the oral cavity. They are also responsible for protecting the gums, teeth and respiratory tract from infectious microbes.
A disturbance in the balance of these strains causes an increased risk of different issues such as allergic reactions, gum disease, as well as respiratory illnesses. Which Oral Probiotic Is The Best
B. Lactis (BL-04)
Bifidobacterium lactis Bl-04 is a rod shaped bacterium found mostly in large intestines. Overall, it restores metabolic and digestive processes and overall gut health especially after taking medication or treatment
One such medicine is antibiotics that does not discriminate between good and bad bacteria. B. Lactis restores this damaged microflora and brings back the balance in the body.
B. Lactis is also well-known for strengthening the body’s immune system and overall health.
Malic acid is one of the natural ingredients found in ProDentim that is not a probiotic. It is well-known for its ability to heal the skin and increase muscle endurance. It is also known to aid in the formation of saliva.
It can be found throughout the body and helps to maintain the microflora. This even includes the oral and the vaginal cavity.
Inulin, another prebiotic, is also found in common foods. This includes a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Inulin is also found in herbs like dandelion root. This prebiotic is not digested or absorbed in the stomach and rather, stays in the bowel to help some beneficial bacteria grow.
Inulin also has other benefits, such as weight loss, appetite training, and food control. It is responsible for enhancing a food’s “fullness”. It protects the body against cardiovascular diseases and helps maintain the immune system’s functions.
Dicalcium Phosphate is an ubiquitous chemical and a very flexible ingredient. You can easily add it to a healthy smoothie, icecream or baked good.
Dicalciumphosphate is used to increase calcium and phosphorus levels in the body. People with low levels of calcium and phosphorus often recommend dicalcium phosphate. Which Oral Probiotic Is The Best
In the case of ProDentim, it was added as it also promotes stronger teeth and can help prevent tooth decay or breakage.
Spearmint is among the few ingredients found in ProDentim that is not a probiotic. It is a minty, aromatic herb that can be used in many forms. Spearmint oil, tea, or supplement can all be used to increase antioxidants.
Spearmint can also lower blood sugar levels and balance hormones. Spearmint is good for your oral hygiene and health. It can improve digestion and control nausea, vomiting, and gas.
Another ingredient that is not a probiotic. Peppermint can also be used in other ways, just like spearmint. Peppermint is used to treat bad breath. It does this by impeding the growth of bad bacteria that can cause halitosis.
Use and Dosage of ProDentim
As an oral health supplement, ProDentim is delivered as a chewable candy rather than delivered through a tablet or capsule. ProDentim’s ingredients, particularly the 3.5 billion probiotic strains, must be taken directly into the mouth.
When you buy a bottle of ProDentim, you get thirty easy-to-consume capsules of the product. You should take ProDentim at the recommended daily dose of 1 tablet. This instruction may cause adverse reactions in your body.
You can take one of these capsules, with one drink and any drink at that. However, it should not be mixed or combined with alcoholic drinks. Despite this flexibility also, ProDentim should not be mixed with your food and must be taken separately.
You can take your ProDentim tablet at any time of the day. However, the best time to take the supplement is during the morning. ProDentim especially works better and faster on an empty stomach as the tablet is also absorbed faster.
Apart from the dosage, it is important to know if you take any other supplements. Also, how many. While there might be a chance that nothing bad would happen, it is better to consult your doctor first.
This is true for both pregnant women and children younger than six months. The advice of a doctor can help you save lots of money in the long-term.
ProDentim can be used for as long as you wish.
You can expect to notice the effects of ProDentim within the first few weeks of regular use. The huge amount of probiotics present in the formula makes the process faster.
That said, missing a dose could delay and reduce the effectiveness of the supplement. Every missed dose would result in you going back to square 1.
Different effects may also appear at different times. Some benefits may take longer than others, while others will show much sooner. Also note that lifestyle, diet, and other factors will affect your usage of ProDentim and its effects.
Tip: You can get the best benefits of the ProDentim supplement by maintaining a healthy oral routine. This can include but are not limited to:
- Regular brushing of your teeth (twice daily, every day)
- Using the proper toothbrush and brush strokes
- Change your toothbrush every couple of months
- Use a fluoride toothpaste
- Stopping smoking cold turkey (or gradually)
- Sugary foods should be avoided
- Doing regular dentist visits
- Probiotic foods can be added to your diet

Follow the recommended dosage. Each tablet was formulated to be effective for one dose a day for one adult person. Taking more capsules than recommended may cause negative and harmful effects. There are no shortcuts when taking this supplement.
ProDneitm should not be taken by pregnant women, nursing mothers, or anyone who is taking hormonal therapy. Which Oral Probiotic Is The Best

Allen Iverson is under fire for saying positive things about Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, and repeating some anti-Semitic statements. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/allen-iverson-addresses-louis-farrakhan-post-says-he-doesnt-support-anti-semitism-051247998.html
Minister Farrakhan has earned the label anti-Semite, and has been officially labeled so by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Shame on you, Minister Farrakhan, and shame on you Allen Iverson. I condemn your anti-Semitism.
Allen Iverson should have to answer criticism of his statements on the merits, like anyone else. Or, he can silence himself and exit the public stage. But don’t dis-invite, don’t fire, don’t cancel. Instead, debate Iverson based on the substance of what he said, not who he associates with. Confront him with facts and make him clarify his own position; don’t silence him or misrepresent his position.
In general, if we discuss topics on the merits, error could be refuted, and learning could occur.
Rant over, now some ravings on the Nation of Islam
Why discuss the Nation of Islam now, when we have protests for police reform? Allen Iverson joins former professional athletes like Stephen Jackson, politicians like the late Marion Barry, and other prominent people who find their relationship with Minister Farrakhan scrutinized when crime or criminal justice reform takes center stage. Kareen Abdul Jabaar, former athlete, adherent of Islam, and social activist expresses dismay at the recurring connections between Black athletes/celebrities and anti-Semitism.
The Nation of Islam provides religious services and engages in a wide range of social services intended to help poor and marginalized people, in addition to helping spread Minister Farrakhan’s hateful rhetoric. It should come as no surprise that Minister Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam gain renewed attention during large protests demanding reform to police practices and broader social reforms; these topics are of special interest to the Nation of Islam.
The Nation of Islam offers genuine prison services, not just recruiting. The Nation of Islam’s prison ministries reportedly qualified for federal government payments as a service provider. Much to the consternation of Peter King, chair of the Counterterrorism and Intelligence Subcommittee of the House Homeland Security Committee, the Bureau of Prisons reportedly paid the Nation of Islam $364,000 since 2008.
Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam are hateful. Rather than provide illustrative quotes, doubters are directed to the ADL website which has gathered specific examples. https://www.adl.org/education/resources/reports/nation-of-islam-farrakhan-in-his-own-words These examples are not just archaeological debates about who resided in the Jordan River valley 4,000 years ago; Farrakhan makes gross generalizations and openly bigoted assertions about international conspiracies, sexual depravities, and clandestine control.
So what would police reform activists and Farrakhan have in common? The Nation of Islam agrees with activists who frame police and community issues in terms of white supremacy. Related national security concerns were raised in Congress after the Ferguson police brutality protests. Consider this excerpt from Raheel Raza’s July 27, 2017 testimony to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
[Islamicists hijacking U.S. discourse on crime, police and race] manifests itself in the attempt to “racialize” the struggle against radical Islam and draw a connection between issues of policing and community relations and the war on terror, painting both issues as part of the same broader problem of “white supremacy.” Groups like the Nation of Islam peddle this rhetoric, conflating the issue of race in America with Islamist ideology. In the Ferguson riots ISIS tweeted support for the rioters, urging people of color in America to fight the police and convert to Islam in exchange for soldiers from ISIS who would come to wage war on their behalf against police officers.
What is to be done? How do we maintain an open society in the presence of hate? What do we do when self-described foreign enemies can exploit our flaws in order to recruit terrorists? Shouldn’t we restrict the range of public discourse until our flaws cannot be exploited?
No. We will never have zero flaws to be exploited. We might overcome some of our current flaws, but we would just develop others. Humans have flaws – always and everywhere.
An open society more easily identifies, deliberates, and corrects its flaws. We must maintain an open society because of our flaws, not despite our flaws. Don’t cancel Allen Iverson, Stephen Jackson for who they associate with or what others say. Make them clarify their own position, and give them the opportunity to do so. Similarly, don’t smear Black Lives Matter just because Farrakhan also frames community issues in terms of white supremacy. Allow everyone to clarify their own position.
And tomorrow, another flawed person will say something offensive. Don’t evade the substance of the issue. Don’t assume guilt by association. Don’t put words in their mouth. Don’t close society. Don’t dis-invite, don’t fire, don’t cancel. Make the person clarify. Engage them on the merits. Maybe learning can occur. And maybe, just maybe, sometimes we ourselves are partially wrong about something.

While preparing for the big day I collected, designed, and made lots of exquisite decor items, like our stunning LOVE letters, with my now hubby Paul.

The Knight of the Sorrowful Face Will Put a Smile on Yours
|I finally finished listening to the Don Quixote audiobook narrated by George Guidall, and it remains my favorite book of all time. It took almost five months to listen to (I have a very short commute to work), but it was worth the time. Guidall is deservedly known as the king of audiobooks, and his reading was masterful. In a book full of dozens of characters, he managed to give each one a separate personality and voice.|
I don't want to say too much about the story itself, since the people at Tilting at Windmills are reading Don Quixote right now. One thing I will say, however, is that the second half of Don Quixote is far superior to the first half. I enjoyed the first half, but most of my fond memories come from the second half. It's funnier, more interesting from a literary point of view, and really develops the character of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.
It's important to know that the second half was written some fifteen years after the first half as a reaction to unauthorized sequels that were circulating through Spain at the time, making Don Quixote possibly the first book in recorded history to have fan fiction. Cervantes did not like others messing with Don Quixote, so he really had no choice but to write his own sequel. Thank goodness he did!
Finally, the Edith Grossman translation that was used for Guidall's audio recording is marvelous. It's easy to read or listen to without sounding too modern.
Every reader of literature should get to know Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, so let Edith Grossman and George Guidall introduce you to them. You will come to love the Knight of the Sorrowful Face and his trusty squire, and they will entertain you for hours on end.

In January 2009, Barack Obama entered the Oval Office projecting idealism and proud to be the constitutional law professor devoted to turning democratic principles into action. In his first weeks in office, in a series of executive orders and public statements, the new president broadcast for all to hear the five commandments by which life in his new world of national security would be lived.
Thou shalt not torture.
Thou shalt not keep Guantánamo open.
Thou shalt not keep secrets unnecessarily.
Thou shalt not wage war without limits.
Thou shalt not live above the law.
Five years later, the question is: How have he and his administration lived up to these self-proclaimed commandments?
Let’s consider them one by one:
1. Thou Shalt Not Torture
Here, the president has fared best at living up to his own standards and ending a shameful practice encouraged and supported by the previous administration. On his first day in office, he ordered an end to the practice of torture, or as the Bush administration euphemistically called it, “enhanced interrogation techniques” (EITs), by agents of the US government. In the president’s words, “effective immediately” individuals in US custody “shall not be subjected to any interrogation technique or approach, or any treatment related to interrogation, that is not authorized by and listed in [the] Army Field Manual.”
No questioning of future terror suspects would henceforth be done without using standard, legal forms of interrogation codified in the American criminal and military justice systems. This meant, among other things, shutting down the network of secret prison facilities, or “black sites,” the Bush administration had established globally from Poland to Thailand, where the CIA had infamously tortured its captives in the “Global War on Terror.” With that in mind, Obama ordered the CIA to “close as expeditiously as possible any detention facilities that it currently operates and…not operate any such detention facility in the future.”


South Africa’s First National Bank (FNB) is contemplating unveiling its popular banking app only on Windows Phone 8, snubbing users of the Microsoft Windows Phone 7 OS.
The FNB banking app is currently available to iOS, Blackberry, Android and Symbian phones.
MyBroadBand, a South African blog, reports that the bank is looking to skip straight to the soon-to-be-released Windows Phone 8, in spite of previously having said it would be available on the earlier version.
The bank argues that this is because of Microsoft’s announcement earlier this year of the release of Windows Phone 8, making it clear that developers would have to choose either platform to develop for or release two separate apps in order to be able to take advantage of the more powerful features of Windows Phone 8.
“Our development life cycle always follows market and handset demand and we are optimistic at the prospects for Windows 8. However, no specific timeframe can be given at this stage,” MyBroadband quoted head of FNB Connect ISP and business operations Farren Roper as saying.
With Nokia’s financial troubles and the ailing sales of Lumia, which is Windows Phone 7 based, FNB is following the lead of other manufacturers who, like Samsung, have released or are looking at releasing Windows Phone 8 based phones.

The season for summer tomatoes is now and the choices at the market will inspire you to make the most of them. The tomatoes have their own section at the farmers’ market at this time of the growing season. The market offers a wide variety of the different kinds of tomatoes available. There are red and yellow tomatoes, Beefsteak, heirloom, plum tomatoes, and small baskets bursting with cherry, grape, and mini-pear tomatoes, in bright red or golden yellow colors.
The larger varieties of tomatoes are perfect for layering with some slices of fresh mozzarella. Dress the salad with extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Shred some basil leaves into small pieces and garnish a caprese salad for a taste of summer. For a change in texture, you can throw the extra-virgin olive oil, vinegar, and basil in the blender and make a basil vinaigrette for the tomato and mozzarella salad.
Thanks to wellness and lifestyle contributor Terra Wellington for sharing this recipe from the California-based restaurant MoMed. Their recipe pairs gorgeous heirloom tomatoes with stone fruits and a watermelon vinaigrette. The sweet watermelon juices, flecked with mint, allow the flavor of the heirloom tomatoes to shine without being overwhelmed. Since the mint has exploded in our summer garden we have been trying different recipes to make use of the herb, and this salad was a welcome addition to the dinner table on many recent summer nights. Give it a try.
The recipe creators at Everyday Food ran this recipe a few years ago and it became a part of the tomato salad ideas for our recipe box. It’s a staple on steakhouse menus; it features alternating slices of tomato and onion with a mixture of ketchup, olive oil, cider vinegar, and Worcestershire made in a jar for a dressing. It’s an interesting combination of flavors, with the tartness of the cider vinegar and the lively burst from the Worcestershire. Get the recipe for this simple tomato salad loaded with flavor here.
Who says all your summer tomato enjoyment has to happen with a fork and plate? Head on over to your cocktail glasses with expert cocktail-maker Maureen Petrosky and her recipe to make tomato water for a lightened-up version of a Bloody Mary. If you always liked the flavors in a Bloody Mary but didn’t enjoy the consistency of thick tomato juice this is the cocktail for you. Rich tomato flavor with a thinner liquid delivers for a cold beverage on a warm night. Find her recipe for Tomato Water Bloody Mary here.
Take advantage of the tomato season with these ideas.

Master Your Bookmarks: How to Use the Firefox Bookmark Manager Like a Pro
If you are a regular user of the Internet, chances are you have accumulated a large number of bookmarks over time. Whether it’s for articles you want to read later, websites you visit frequently, or resources for work or school, bookmarks are an essential tool for organizing and accessing your favorite online content. However, keeping track of all these bookmarks can be a daunting task, especially if you have a disorganized and cluttered bookmark list.
One way to effectively manage your bookmarks is by using the built-in bookmark manager in your web browser. If you are a Firefox user, the Firefox Bookmark Manager is a powerful tool that can help you organize, access, and sync your bookmarks across different devices. In this article, we will explore some tips and tricks to help you use the Firefox Bookmark Manager like a pro.
Organize Your Bookmarks with Folders
The first step to mastering your bookmarks is to organize them into folders. This makes it easier to categorize and find your bookmarks when you need them. To create a new folder in Firefox, simply right-click on the bookmark toolbar or the bookmark menu, select “New Folder”, and give it a name. You can then drag and drop your bookmarks into the appropriate folders to keep them neatly organized.
Use Tags to Categorize Your Bookmarks
In addition to folders, you can also use tags to categorize your bookmarks in Firefox. Tags are a great way to add multiple labels to a bookmark, making it easier to find related content. To add a tag to a bookmark, simply right-click on it, select “Add Tags”, and enter the relevant keywords. You can then use the tag filter in the Firefox Bookmark Manager to quickly find bookmarks with specific tags.
Synchronize Your Bookmarks Across Devices
One of the most useful features of the Firefox Bookmark Manager is the ability to sync your bookmarks across different devices. This means that you can access your bookmarks from your desktop, laptop, smartphone, or tablet, all without having to manually transfer or recreate them. To enable bookmark syncing in Firefox, go to the Options menu, select “Sync”, and sign in with your Firefox account. Once syncing is enabled, your bookmarks will be automatically updated and available on all your devices.
Use the Search Bar to Find Bookmarks Quickly
If you have a large number of bookmarks, finding a specific one can be a challenge. Thankfully, the Firefox Bookmark Manager includes a search bar that allows you to quickly find bookmarks by typing in keywords or phrases. This can be especially useful if you have a lot of bookmarks and you don’t remember which folder or tag a particular bookmark is assigned to.
Take Advantage of Bookmark Shortcuts
In addition to organizing and categorizing your bookmarks, you can also create bookmark shortcuts in Firefox. By assigning a keyboard shortcut to a bookmark, you can quickly access it without having to navigate through your bookmark list. To create a bookmark shortcut, right-click on the bookmark and select “Properties”, then assign a keyword in the Keyword field. You can then type the keyword in the Firefox address bar to open the bookmarked page.
In conclusion, the Firefox Bookmark Manager is a powerful tool that can help you manage and organize your bookmarks like a pro. By utilizing folders, tags, syncing, search, and shortcuts, you can take your bookmark management to the next level and enhance your browsing experience. So, take some time to master your bookmarks with the Firefox Bookmark Manager and you’ll never have to struggle with a cluttered bookmark list again.

I recommend this for any one who likes a lighthearted
Mystery and physic phenomena....it was full packed!
Read this book...uplift your day.... it did mine!

Don’t get me wrong! It’s a good, fun read and the writer clearly has talent. It’s just little things that were overlooked here and there.

Slain Germans ‘mistaken for Americans’
20 April 2004
BERLIN – An Iraqi insurgent leader says two German security agents were killed by his men at a roadblock in Fallujah earlier this month because they were “mistaken for Americans”.
Jabbar al-Qubaysi, head of the Iraqi National Patriotic Alliance, was quoted by Germany’s Spiegel TV as saying he regretted the killings.
“It is all very regrettable,” he told the German TV show, produced by Der Spiegel news magazine. “Had the men stopped at the roadblock and identified themselves as Germans, my men would have spared them.
“But they sped through the roadblock and were mistaken for Americans,” he said.
German intelligence was warned of a “highly dangerous situation” in strife-torn Fallujah more than a week before the two German security agents were killed at the roadblock there, another report said meanwhile.
The report in Focus news magazine, due to hit newsstands in Germany on Monday, quotes intelligence sources as saying the elite GSG-9 security escort undertook a hazardous convoy from Amman to the German embassy in Baghdad despite urgent warnings not to do so.
The two GSG-9 security agents were killed when their vehicle, the last in the six-vehicle convoy, came under attack from automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades fired by Iraqi insurgents when the convoy attempted to break through a roadblock at Fallujah.
The two men, ages 27 and 35, were en route to Baghdad to relieve two security agents at the German embassy there as part of a routine rotation of personnel.
The bodies of the two men have yet to be recovered.
The German Interior Ministry Saturday issued a statement saying only that the incident is still under review and that no comment would be given pending positive identification of the bodies.

Image: The Creek Writing System in the 1700s!!!
In doing research on Sequoyah’s syllabary, I stumbled upon this document that described it as an example of the Creek writing system in the 1700s. The author did not know what the writing meant, but said that it was a Creek Indian document in Georgia from the mid-1700s. That means it is a example of Creek writing, which predates the Sequoyah syllabary by many decades. In fact, Sequoyah may have developed his system from this system. His mother’s names were African (or Gullah) and Creek. They had no meaning in Cherokee.
The writing system presented by Chikili to the leaders of Savannah on June 7, 1735 was described as “peculiar red and black characters unlike any writing system we have seen elsewhere in the world.” What we see here may be that system , a derivation of it or something entirely different. Without more information, it is hard to make a call.

Mental Health Resources
Health and wellness (physical and mental) are important considerations in students' ability to learn. Mental health is something we all have; it exists on a continuum. Ideally, we function from a place of wellness most of the time. The reality is that we all feel unwell sometimes. Perhaps we get a cold or maybe we have a more chronic physical condition that impacts our health but doesn't limit or define us (ex. allergies). Unfortunately, not all bouts of illness can be measured with a thermometer or lab test. Sometimes we need support for our mental or emotional health. It's okay to ask for help when we don't feel well (physically, emotionally, socially), and we can feel better with proper interventions and supports.
The Cox Mill High School S3 Team has developed this webpage to provide resources and information to students and families seeking help related to mental health and wellness. If you have ideas or resources you would like to share, please see your school counselor or email Chelsea Wheeler, school social worker, at firstname.lastname@example.org
Are you in crisis?
If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, please immediately reach out to a caring adult for support. Friends are great supporters, but they may not have the resources or training to assist in a crisis. If you are in school, come to the S3 Office or talk with a trusted teacher, coach, administrator or support staff member (bring a friend for support if you are afraid). If you are not in school, here are some options to consider (list below). The most important thing is that you reach out for help. The person you initially contact may be your bridge to other resources that can change things for the better.
Caring adults who can assist you with connecting to help AT school:
- School Counselor
- School Social Worker
- School Psychologist
- School Nurse
- Support Staff* (office staff, custodians, etc.)
*These staff members cannot provide mental health services, but they are wonderful, caring people who can help you connect with our S3 staff.
Caring adults who may be able to help you OUTSIDE of school:
- Parents or other Family Members
- Friend's Mom or Dad
- Trusted Neighbor
- Physician or Medical Professional
- Law Enforcement
- Clergy or Youth Leaders
- Call a Hotline
North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services (NCDHHS) has established the Hope4NC Helpline (1-855-587-3463) to connect North Carolinians to additional mental health and resilience supports that help them cope and build resilience during times of crisis. It is available to everyone in North Carolina’s 100 counties during the COVID-19 crisis.

Richmond County Investigator Mark Dobbins left "the happiest place on Earth" for one of the busiest police beats in Augusta.
But if there is one thing the tourists at Disney's Polynesian Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., and the drug users on Walker Street have in common, it's that both groups respond to respect.
"I kind of tried to use as much customer service as possible out on the streets because you find that treating individuals, whether they are individuals down in the 'bottom' or individuals on the 'hill,' they're people," said Investigator Dobbins, referring to predominantly low-income and high-income areas of Augusta. "We are all God's creatures and treating a person with respect -- it doesn't matter what walk of life they come from. It just matters who they are."
Just more than seven years ago, Investigator Dobbins found himself questioning his career with the Disney World resort. He liked working at the resort's lush recreation area, where he managed the lifeguards and oversaw the operation of three swimming pools, but he thought he needed a change. He and his wife, Rosetta, had gotten jobs with the company on a whim. They were traveling in Florida, saw a billboard and made a call.
"We got the job before we even left from vacation," explained Investigator Dobbins. But after several years "climbing the corporate ladder," Investigator Dobbins became concerned that he wasn't devoting enough time to what he considers his primary duty -- spending time with his wife and children.
So the couple moved to Augusta, where they had met while both working at downtown businesses, and Investigator Dobbins began his career in law enforcement.
A self-professed "obsessive compulsive" with a penchant for poring over details, Investigator Dobbins said he always wanted to pursue the career.
As the department's cold case investigator, he's had plenty of opportunities to use those skills. For the past few months, he has been scouring open murder cases dating back to the 1960s. Three cases show promise: the July 1988 murder of Lani Smith and Patrick Jones, who were found in the 3900 block of Windsor Spring Road; the December 1988 murder of Nathaniel Brown and Marcus Proctor on Lover's Lane; and the 2000 discovery of the body of an unidentified man dressed head-to-toe in FUBU clothing behind the Golden Harvest Food Bank on Commerce Drive.
"The majority of these cases have the meat and potatoes that you need to solve them, but the important piece of that puzzle is knowing who your victim is," he said, citing the John Doe case.
Investigator Dobbins said he tries to put himself in the shoes of the deceased's loved ones to determine what they would expect of an investigator. The answer he gets is that they want someone dogged, who won't give up. One of the best parts of the job, he said, is calling a victim's family and telling them someone is still trying to catch their loved one's killer.
"I don't think I could have a better position in my field," he said. "To be able to try to bring these cases back to life and bring closure to these victims and their loved ones -- it's a phenomenal task."

FAMILY: Wife, Rosetta, 38; children, Leara, 8; Karena, 4; and Isabel, 3.
POSITION: Richmond County investigator

The Liberal Democrats have said that in government, they would radically overhaul mental health provision in the UK, as well as address challenges facing the nursing workforce.
As part of their manifesto for the 2019 general election, the party have said they would Introduce further mental health maximum waiting time standards, starting with children’s services, services for people with eating disorders, and severe and enduring conditions. Additionally they pledge to increase access to a broader range and number of clinically effective talking therapies so that hundreds of thousands more people can receive this support, with equal access for older people, BAME and LGBT+ patients, and people with autism or learning disabilities.
‘It’s good news that the Liberal Democrats want to end the scandal of children and adults being treated in mental health in-patient units long distances from their homes and families. But this proposal is unlikely to succeed without more staff to make it work – the number of mental health nurses has dropped by almost 4,000 since 2010,’ said Dame Donna Kinnair, chief executive of the RCN.
Additionally, the party have announced that they would target extra help for nursing students, starting with bursaries for specialties where shortages are most acute such as mental health and learning disability nursing, linked to clinical placements in areas that are particularly under-staffed.
‘We are also pleased that the Lib Dems have recognised that the removal of the bursary for nursing students in 2016 has badly affected numbers wanting to become nurses, with 30% fewer applications to nursing degree courses since then,’ added Dame Donna. ‘ However, the financial help they propose won't work unless it's restored for nursing students across the board, rather than just those in specialist areas such as mental health as the party is planning. Without this, and comprehensive measures to retain nurses who are already working, political parties are only promising to fill a leaky bucket.’

2 venomous sea Serpents wash ashore in SoCal this year.
For the second time in two months, a “highly venomous” yellow-bellied sea snake has washed ashore on a Southern California beach, this time in Orange County.
The exotic reptile — seen only three times on the state’s shoreline in the past three decades — was found by a volunteer at a Huntington Beach Surfrider Foundation beach cleanup event on Dec. 12 at Bolsa Chica State Beach, according to the Museum of Natural History of Los Angeles.
Tony Soriano, the foundation’s chairman, said the 275 volunteers who had showed up for the beach cleanup initially did not realize what species the snake was, or that it was even venomous.
His son figured it out after doing a search on Google, Soriano added. After learning of the discovery, the curator of the Museum of Natural History contacted him.
Until the museum’s assistant curator showed up at Soriano’s home, he had kept the dead snake in a Ziploc bag in his refrigerator.
“That’s a rare find,” he said. “We had no clue what we had.”
The finding marks the third documented instance of a yellow-bellied sea snake washing up in Southern California. In October, the reptile — which lives its entire life in the ocean — was spotted at Silver Strand Beach in the Oxnard area.
The “highly venomous” black-and-yellow snake typically lives in warmer waters off the coasts of Mexico, Africa, Asia and Australia, according to a Facebook post from the Huntington Beach Surfrider Foundation.

Dustin Pedroia exits game as wife goes into labor
Couple celebrates birth of second child
Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia had a two hit night against the New York Yankees Wednesday, but the biggest part of the evening for the All-Star came when he was pulled from the field during warmups for the seventh inning and told his wife Kelli was in labor with the couple's second child.
Pedroia's wife, Kelli, who was in attendance at Fenway Park, went into labor before the game ended.
Before the top of the seventh inning began, Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine summoned Pedroia to the dugout to inform him of the news. He quickly left the field to be at his wife's side.
In 2009, Pedroia missed the All-Star Game for the birth of his first child.
An update on Pedroia's wife and child were not immediately available.


LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – Small businesses in Los Angeles City Council District 13 are eligible for a second round of grants, it was announced Thursday.
Small businesses in the 13th district with an annual gross revenue of up to $5 million will be eligible to apply for the money, L.A. City Councilman Mitch O'Farrell said in a news release.
The grant receivers will be selected at random from the application pool.
The 13th district includes East Hollywood, Echo Park, Silver Lake, Atwater Village, Elysian Heights and Westlake.
The application window runs from Jan. 28 at 8 a.m. through Feb. 4 at 5 p.m. To apply, click here.
This is the second round of grant funding for the 13th district through the city's Economic and Workforce Development Department. Back in July, $1 million in grants was distributed to small businesses in the district.
Businesses who applied last round but did not qualify because their revenue was too high will be automatically entered into this new phase of funding.
"This next round of funding will be open to a wider swath of small business owners due to an increase in the revenue cap requirements," the news release read.
L.A. has been economically devastated by the pandemic. The entire Southern California region remains under a stay-at-home order which bans indoor and outdoor dining for restaurants. The order also bans nearly all private and public gatherings, with the exception of religious gatherings and protests.
All hair salons and personal care facilities must close, along with all bars and breweries, movie theaters, cardrooms, museums and zoos. Retail stores are limited to 20% capacity, and grocery stores to 35%.
The order will remain in effect until Southern California's ICU capacity rises above 15%. It is currently at 0%.

An estimated 200,000 people jammed the streets of Kuala Lumpur April 3 to witness the funeral procession of the late Paramount ruler of Malaya, Tuanku Sir Abdul Rahman.
"No available shotlist"

Background: An estimated 200,000 people jammed the streets of Kuala Lumpur April 3 to witness the funeral procession of the late Paramount ruler of Malaya, Tuanku Sir Abdul Rahman. The ruler died in his sleep April 1. The crowd stood reverently, with heads bowed, as the teak coffin, draped with the colours of His Majesty's personal standard and the Malayan flag, went by slowly on a black gun carriage.
The Royal coffin, drawn by 50 ratings of the Royal Malayan Navy, was followed by a procession of about 500 people -- Sultans, Ministers, Judges, members of Parliament and Government officials. Detachments from the Commonwealth Forces, R.A.F., R.A.A.F., Gurkhas, Australians, New Zealanders and British troops accompanied the procession.
It took two hours -- half an hour more than anticipated for the procession to arrive at the railway station where a special train was waiting to take the Royal coffin to the late Ruler's home town Seremban, some 40 miles away, for burial April 5.
As the cortege approached the railway station, jet aircraft of the Commonwealth Air Force dipped in salute. In hushed silence the Royal coffin was placed on an open carriage. A single shrill blast from the train.. and it slowly pulled out of Kuala Lumpur's railway station. The capital said its farewell to a beloved ruler.

Hot buttered toast for patients will improve their NHS experience, says Boris JohnsonSubscribe To Advice
Boris Johnson says something as simple as delivering “hot buttered toast for the patients of this country” will help improve people’s experience of the NHS.
Root and branch review of hospital food
Boris Johnson's remarks came as it was disclosed Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith will advise a Government review into hospital food following the deaths of six people due to a listeria outbreak.
A “root and branch” review launched by the Department of Health and Social Care on Friday will examine whether the number of hospitals catering in-house can be increased.
Mr Johnson was speaking during a visit to Torbay Hospital in Devon, where he met catering and hospital staff and patients.
The Prime Minister said: “We get too many complaints from patients about the quality of the food and I think it does affect their experience when they are in hospital.
“And sometimes it can be something as simple as not having hot toast, and having toast actually made on the wards, so one thing you want to deliver is hot buttered toast for the patients of this country.”
During his visit Mr Johnson put on a green plastic apron to serve a ham salad lunch to patient Wenona Pappin, 70, from Paignton.

Review launched in June
Health Secretary Matt Hancock called for the comprehensive review in June after six people died after contracting listeria from pre-packaged sandwiches and salads either purchased on site or given out by hospital staff.
The review will also consider whether kitchen facilities can be changed to bring more chefs into hospitals as well as using less frozen food and sourcing local fresh produce where possible.
Mr Johnson said: “The NHS does an amazing job, and they produce about 140 million meals a year. Some, of course, most patients, have a fantastic experience, the quality of the meals is too variable.
“So what we want to do is drive up standards across the board, and so we are having a review by Philip Shelley. He’s going to be assisted from a culinary point of view by Prue Leith.”
Mr Johnson added: “Some patients don’t actually eat in hospital when they really do need to, because they do not feel the food is appetising enough, particularly elderly patients.”
Hospital food should be a highlight - Prue Leith
Celebrity cook Prue Leith has previously criticised the standard of hospital meals and called for NHS trusts to make appealing and nutritious food on-site for patients.
She said: “Millions of pounds are wasted in hospitals with food ending up in the bin, unpalatable food being the main complaint. “I’m delighted that, at long last, Downing Street and the Department of Health have decided to do something about it.
“A hospital meal should be a small highlight, a little pleasure and comfort, and it should help, not hinder, the patient’s recovery.”
The review will examine the quality of the estimated 140 million meals provided to patients each year, as well as staff meals.
The review was announced as a former health chief blamed “systematic failures” in public health for 17 deaths linked to separate outbreaks of listeria and streptococcus earlier this year.
In July, NHS Mid Essex Clinical Commissioning Group confirmed 13 people had died in an outbreak of invasive Group A streptococcus.
Writing in the Journal Of The Royal Society Of Medicine on Friday, Professor John Ashton, former north-west regional director of public health, warned that years of austerity and cuts to local authority budgets had stripped the ability of environmental health departments to keep up with threats.

NHS needs to maintain world-leading service levels
The review was earlier welcomed by Mr Johnson.
He said: “Since entering Downing Street, my focus has been clear – to make sure our world-class NHS has everything it needs to continue providing the very best frontline care.
“Guaranteeing hospitals serve nutritional, tasty and fresh meals will not only aid patient recovery, but also fuel staff and visitors as they care for loved ones and the vulnerable.
“Our NHS has led the way since the day it was formed. This review will ensure it remains the standard-bearer for healthy choices, as it works unstintingly to improve the nation’s well-being.”
Mr Hancock said: “When people are in hospital, they should be given all the help they can to get better – and that includes food
“So I’m determined patients enjoy the best, most delicious and nutritious food to help them recover and leave hospital as quickly as possible. I’m delighted we’ve assembled a first-rate group to drive this agenda.”
The review will be chaired by the former head of the Hospital Caterers Association and catering lead for Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, Philip Shelley.
Review must go beyond half-baked scheme to include safe staffing of nurses
Hospital caterers, patient groups and kitchen staff will also be involved in the review.
Royal College of Nursing England director Patricia Marquis said: "Ensuring patients and staff have access to healthy, nutritious food in hospital is essential but you don’t need a celebrity chef to tell you hospital food needs an overhaul.”
She added: “Our expectations for this review go beyond half-baked schemes no matter how noble. This won’t make a lasting impact without a full-scale investment in the health and care system.
“If the Health Secretary’s prepared to review hospital food, when can nurses expect a full review of safe staffing including the need for legislation?”

The history of celebrities in hospital food reviews
Leith is not the first celebrity to show an interest in improving hospital meals, and is not the first to advise the Government on the matter.
Almost 25 years ago, top chef Albert Roux helped promote new guidelines on hospital food with the Nutrition Task Force, which was a panel of experts set up in 1992 as part of the government’s Health Of The Nation initiative to draw up an action plan to achieve dietary targets.
MasterChef presenter Loyd Grossman advised the Government on hospital food standards too and backed a campaign in 2013 which said that hospital meals should have compulsory nutritional standards.
He was recruited by the NHS in 2001 as part of the Better Hospital Food Initiative, aimed at improving menus for patients.
The programme ran until 2006. In 2011, celebrity chef James Martin said, after helping to reinvigorate the staff and menus at Scarborough General Hospital in North Yorkshire, that he was looking to work with six others in 2012.
He spent 12 weeks working with catering staff from Scarborough General and his efforts were featured in a BBC programme.
In 2010, Heston Blumenthal also hoped to revolutionise hospital meals when he collaborated with the University of Reading and the Royal Berkshire Hospital to increase the flavour of well-loved dishes such as shepherd’s pie and make them more attractive to older people, whose sense of taste often deteriorates.
As part of the project, researchers visited his restaurant in Bray, Berkshire, to watch Blumenthal at work and see how his ideas could be transferred to hospital kitchens.
A report by the Good Food For Our Money campaign in 2009 said £50 million had been spent on failed bids to improve hospital food.
Researchers said 17 separate government initiatives since 2000 had resulted in no discernible improvement in the quality of meals served to patients.

The varla one also comes standard with rugged two-handlebars. These handlebars feature knuckle pads for a smooth ride as well as built-in suspension. This allows you to adjust the front and rear shocks independently. A specially designed bar system adds a sporty look to the scooter with its single brake and non-slip foot levers. The bar adds strength to the handlebars and adds to the agility of the scooter.
Other features include a dual hydraulic braking system, powerful ceramic disc brakes, and a front and rear shocks with adjustable rebound. The scooter comes standard with five speeds including a quiet yet powerful engine. In addition to all of these standard features, the varla one also offers extras like a padded seat, rain guards, a horn, and a tail lamp with dual halogen bulbs. For more fun and style, the varla one also offers leather seat covers and a leather foot pegs.
Although these scooters are a little on the expensive side, they are definitely worth checking out. If you are looking for an affordable, durable, and smooth ride, then these scooters may be perfect for you. The fact that they are eco friendly is just one reason why many people have been considering buying them. With their affordable price tag, they can be purchased by just about anyone. If you are looking for a great deal on one of the most exciting electric scooters currently available, the Eagle one is definitely worth looking into.
The Varla One is definitely the top model of electric scooters available on the market today. They provide smooth and reliable transportation. Although a little more expensive than some other models, they offer a quality scooter that is durable, convenient, and comfortable to ride. If you want to find a great deal on one of these fantastic vehicles, the best place to look is online.
One of the reasons why this type of vehicle is so popular is because of its contemporary design. The varla eagle one motor scooter has large dual wheels that allow it to be lightweight. Its unique construction also allows it to run extremely fast. Because of its large dual wheels, it can travel at up to forty miles per hour. This makes it ideal for quick trips and errands. Although it does not come with a manual ride, most owners prefer to give it a try since it provides such a smooth ride.
This e-scooter is especially great for people who are looking for something more sophisticated than their standard electric scooter. Its large dual wheels make it easier to negotiate curbs, bumps, and turns. It also has an automatic opening mechanism and brake mechanism which make driving safe and easy. Although many users report being able to drive this vehicle over long distances with no problems, the vehicle does require a little practice to get used to.
