The 12 Most Essential Back-to-School Supplies Your Kids Need for a Great Year
Somehow another summer has flown by and the kiddos are headed back to school again. Sure, that means vacations are over, the house will be empty and days at the pool are numbered. But what it also means is that it's time to shop for supplies.
For some this shopping can be a daunting task, especially with the long lists of needed items that teachers send out. For others, it can be a great way to start off the school year with some retail therapy, while getting the kids geared up to get their minds back on learning. Either way, with Walmart revealing results of a study showing that for the majority of moms, a new school year ranks as high as the beginning of a new calendar year for getting a fresh start, you can be sure that shopping is a big part of that new beginning.
Here are some of our favorite school supplies for this year.
A new lunchbox can be a great and inexpensive way to get kids ready to go back to school. And with so many different options, a lunchbox can be a fun way for a kid to express his personality. There's even an entire website dedicated to lunchboxes. Plus, if the storage container is cool, maybe your kid will think the food inside is cool and those carrots will finally get eaten. Make sure you pick something that can keep foods cold if your child won't have access to a refrigerator for storage. And, put a name on the lunch container so there aren't any mix-ups. There are so many choices for all ages, tastes and storage needs that you'll probably get one for every member of the family. Including a Scoobie Doo one for yourself so you finally figure out who's been stealing your lunch at work.
What's even more awesome to shop for than a super cool lunchbox? A super cool backpack. Backpacks are the accessory for back-to-school. You can keep your Donna Karan and Marc Jacobs, the B2S kids will take a hipster backpack, please. If you can imagine it, there is a backpack that looks like it. But backpacks are very functional now, too. They have special pockets for electronics. They are battery powered and have charging stations. In a few years, they'll probably do the kids' homework for them on the bus home from school. If you've fought over the kinds of clothes your child can wear to school, the backpack can be a very good way to allow her to express herself and to keep the peace at your house.
Laptop Bags
If your kid has graduated from a backpack to a messenger bag because he's got a laptop now, you can still enjoy the shopping. The right bag will be easy to carry, protect the laptop, have spaces for all the cords, plugs and peripherals, and most of all will look cool. And, just like with backpacks, you can find battery powered bags that will charge electronics. You can even find a solar bag that uses the sun's energy to charge your student's laptop.
Pencil Cases
Next to paper, pens and pencils are the most basic and key supplies for going back to school. Even in the digital age, kids still have to write things down. But, pens and pencils are small and easily lost. Help your child keep track of her writing utensils by letting her pick out her favorite pencil case. Maybe the case can match the backpack. Maybe you couldn't find the choice backpack, so the pencil case can represent that particular fave. There are as many choices of pencil cases as there are colors, animals, designs, cartoons and characters for kids to love. There's even a website for them. And, if you're tired of shopping, with a little creativity you and your kids can make your own pencil cases.
A calculator seems like a boring school supply, but there's actually some room for a little fun in this supply category as well. And some of them aren't that expensive either. Just make sure you know what your student needs for class before you start shopping. On a basic level, you can find them in a rainbow of colors. Or, you can get one with really sweet capabilities and make math suddenly a lot of fun. The masterminds at Staples even came up with this very bendy flexible calculator. A quick search on Amazon led to this awesome cell phone calculator. You can have the fun of shopping for electronics with your kid without dropping a fortune on a gadget that will be outdated as soon as it's out of its packaging.
Flash Drives
Yes, your kids should be improving their own memories while in school, but they'll also need to have some portable digital memory to take with them. Flash drives are perfect for making files portable without having to carry a computer around. A flash drive seems like something boring to get a kid, but now there are tons of great drives for kids. There are bright colors, animals, prints, skateboards, surfboards, cartoon characters, bracelets, cars and even Darth Vader (if you like your memory on the Dark Side), to name just a small few. Pay close attention to the capacity of the drive you're buying, as well as its compatibility. You want to get something that will hold lots of schoolwork and be able to plug into any kind of computer. You also want to get something that can hook to a backpack or notebook so it doesn't get lost.
Portable hard drives
If a flash drive isn't enough, you should shop around for larger portable hard drives. As kids get older, their work gets bigger and takes up more space. Papers and projects can be stored on portable hard drives and taken easily back and forth from school to home. Again, you need to pay close attention to capacity and compatibility. And, with a portable drive, you want to make sure there's a trustworthy brand behind the hardware. Losing a paper because of a bad sector can ruin a semester pretty fast. The designs aren't as fun as the flash drives and prices can vary, so this is an item you'll want to shop around for.
Alarm clocks
You can't get to school if you don't wake up, which means the perfect alarm clock is important. You can get an iPod docking station alarm clock so your student can wake up to her favorite song. Or, if you've got a heavy sleeper, you can get an alarm that will shake the bed. And, if your kid really likes to hit the snooze button, you can even get an alarm clock that will roll away, so he has to get up and find the alarm to turn it off. It's best to find a clock that will work on batteries even if the power goes out so there are no excuses for being late to school.
Desks and Chairs
There is nothing better you can do for your child's study habits than to invest in a good desk and chair. It's much easier to concentrate on homework in a functional and comfortable environment. If your student has to work in the living room where the TV is, they're more likely to get distracted. Being spread out on the dining room table means they lose concentration and you have to move them when it's time to eat. A kid's desk can be her work haven and prepares her to focus on work in the real world. Make sure you find something that fits your child. Pay attention to chair height and how your kid will reach the desktop. Try to find something with a lot of drawers and cubby holes for organizing, as well as something durable that won't get beat up with use. You've probably learned by now that kids can be rough on furniture.
Desk lamps
Now that you've gotten your kid the perfect desk, or sent him off to college to study at his dimly lit dorm desk, a fancy desk lamp is in order. This is another one of those fun to shop for study accessories. You can find a desk lamp to go with any desk or personality type. Pay attention to what kind of light they use and how bright they can be. Look for lamps that are easy to turn on and off and won't get too hot. There are lamps that double as desk organizers and triple as mp3 docking stations. There are lamps that do all kinds of things. The possibilities are endless and the price ranges can fit any budget. A desk lamp is more of a piece of art for your students work area than it is a school supply.
Easily forgotten, but very important, locks are a big deal when shopping for back to school. Your teen or pre-teen probably needs one for his locker. And, if you've sent a student away to school, she probably needs one for her bike. Thousands of bicycles get stolen on college campuses every year. You can go to any hardware store and pick up your basic padlock. But why not have a little fun with it? Get your student a lock in her favorite color. Or, go fancy and get a digital lock. Bicycle locks have come a long way. A chain with a combo still works, but there are many choices out there now and you and your student can figure out what will work best.
Random Supplies
There are so many fun things to buy your kid for going back to school, that we kind of wish we were going back to school too. There are dorm room supplies, studying supplies, sweet furniture and desk supplies and any number of actual work supplies that are just plain fun to look at and make stuff with. Back to school shopping is almost as fun as Christmas shopping, except for the part later when the stuff actually has to be used for work. But until then, you can get a dry erase refrigerator. Or a chalkboard room divider. Or this awesome rolling laptop cart. Or an animal print stapler. Or anything you can think of. That's after you've found the world's coolest backpacks, lunchboxes and flash drives and managed to stay standing after all your back-to-school shopping.

Now it's thought by many people who are religious that the physical constants that physics has found in nature—the strong nuclear force, the weak force, Planck's constant, the mass of the top quark, and so on—are all part of God's doing. God is responsible for the narrow range of values for the laws of nature that keep our universe on the knife edge that makes life possible.
It would appear that every conceivable discovery is interpreted as evidence of God's existence and God's transcendent power, knowledge, and goodness. And no possible developments in our empirical investigations will be accepted as counter evidence. It's a sort of reverse conspiracy theory. The conspiracy theorist takes everything that happens to be more proof that the government is watching him. The fact that he can't get any pictures of the black helicopters surveiling him just shows how stealthy they are. The fact that no one around him lets on that they are spying on him just shows how good they are at covering their tracks. The fact that we cannot find compelling evidence that links the CIA and the mob as conspirators in the John F. Kennedy's assassination itself shows that the CIA and the mob did it because no one else could have so effectively concealed their scheme. But with God, everything we discover, including the fact that there appears to be no need to invoke any supernatural agency to explain any phenomena we analyze, is taken to indicate just how transcendent God is. Even the fact that the universe appears to be just the sort of place you'd expect if there was no powerful, knowledgeable, and caring supernatural being itself is taken to indicate that that sort of being has good reasons for making its presence completely undetectable.
In all seriousness, if God were to build the universe and then give us a book, a doctrine, and a religion with which to worship him, and if all of the remarkable things about God's role in the creation and sustainance of the universe that believers claim are true, then wouldn't we have expected to find some hint about them from God, from his religion, from his book, or from his believers before they were discovered by science? In every, science forges ahead through hard work, insight, and struggle, to discover some truth about the world. And then, after science has done all the heavy lifting, the religious dogmatists snatch the discovery, "Of course, we knew that all along because that's a part of God's remarkable creation. It all just suggests more praise to God's glory for his universe."
There remain many unanswered questions in science now. We aren't sure about the existence of the Higgs-Boson, or the graviton, or the relationship of the gravitational force to the other fundamental forces. We don't have a clear, developed picture of the origins of consciousness in evolutionary history. We don't have adequate information to ascertain the prevalence of life in the universe at large. But presumably with time, hard work, and human ingenuity, we will find answers to all of these questions. So here is the challenge for the believer. If all of those future discoveries in science are going to be co-opted and neatly adapted to show that God is such a profound being, then we should be able to find some indicator of these mechanisms of God's handiwork in religion, religious doctrine, or the words of God himself without science to do all the hard work. If the four fundamental forces—gravity, strong, weak, and electromagnetic—are all God's means of constructing the universe, afterall, then why can't we find any indication of that anywhere in any religious doctrine or tradition before physics discovered them. If evolution was the method whereby God brought life into the universe as so many Americans now believe, then why can't we find even the slightest hint of it in any religious source or the word of God prior to Darwin's hard fought battle with those same believers? If the intelligent design hypothesis about God's interventions in evolutionary history is correct, then why did no religious source ever give any indication of it until the 1990s? If viruses, not evil demon possession, were the source of disease all along and part of God's plan, why has religious doctrine always been so clearly in favor of demons? If the abundant amounts of apparently pointless suffering and death in the world has always been part of God's plan to build moral character, then did we not get any indication that this was true from religious sources until after atheists like William Rowe in the 1970s argued that pointless evil is evidence that there is no God?
The answer should be obvious. With every new development and empirical discovery, believers (usually, after resisting the truth with all their might,) construct an ad hoc explanation that allows them to coopt that discovery and contort it into their worldview and use it to their advantage. That their worldview previously contained no indicators of what is now taken to be obvious because of what science has forced them to accept is conveniently written off as metaphor, discounted, neglected, or forgotten. "Adam and Eve? Oh, we never really believed that literally." "The earth is only 6,000 years old? That's so quaint—it isn't what we really believe." All of the ad hoc re-engineering and reverse conspiracy gymnastics in order to salvage an Iron Age ideology is gross intellectual dishonesty when it is clear that the space left for the God of the gaps is rapidly shrinking.

Back injuries are sustained in a myriad of ways and some people are more likely to develop back pain and injury than others are. Some people incur back injuries from doing seemingly nothing; a simple twist or turn the wrong way in bed, for example, could cause a vertebra to go out of alignment. Others incur injury at home or on the job, while others sustain back injuries from traumatic events such as a vehicular accident.
Back injuries can be sustained on any number of structures in the spine. Although lower back injuries are the most prevalent, many people have sustained injuries to the thoracic (middle spine) or cervical (neck) portions of their spinal cord. Injuries can occur to the vertebrae, discs, nerves, joints, muscles, and other soft tissues. Once an injury has been incurred, other parts of the body, from the toes to the head, also can be affected.
Nationally, back injuries cost U.S. businesses approximately $30 billion per year, at an estimated average cost per claim of $24,000. If surgery is involved, the cost for claims increases significantly to $40,000 per injury or higher. One recent back injury involving surgery totaled $240,000.
Health care industry workers sustain nearly five times more back injuries than any other type of worker and are among 6 of the top 10 professions at greatest risk for back injury, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

\nThere is a growing population of over 10 million Americans that live with an elevat ed risk of having a stroke.
\nEach year approximately 1 million Amer icans survive a stroke or a ministroke\, often severely affected by its de bilitating effects. A more disabling stroke frequently occurs after the se minal events\, leaving patients and their families scarred for life.
\nTIME = BRAIN. Early hospital presentation is the most critical determin ant in good stroke outcomes. However\, most patients arrive at the hospita l often hours after the event\, with less than 10% receiving any form of t reatment (thrombolysis / thrombectomy).
\nAs a result\, at risk indi viduals struggle daily with the fear\, a stroke might happen during night- time or when they are alone. Unfortunately a stroke that goes unnoticed fo r hours\, is most often not treatable due to the lack of salvageable tissu e.
\nTo alleviate that fear\, we are creating an AI-powered\, smart- headband that analyzes brain waves to detect the onset of an event immedia tely\, and alert the patient\, caregivers and 911.
\nOur stroke dete ction AI has already been shown to detect ischemia during high-risk surger ies with 90% sensitivity and no false positives.
\nWe have received FDA breakthrough designation for our solution and are currently running a pilot human factors and signal quality study.
\nOur vision is to pro vide peace of mind and optimal brain health for everyone.

\nPositron emission tomography (PET) allows for sensitive and quantitative m easurement of physiology\, metabolism and molecular targets noninvasively in the human body. However\, typical clinical PET scanners capture less t han 1% of the available signal produced in the body. PET scanners also ar e not currently capable of precisely determining the location at which a p articular decay occurs. These limitations present opportunities for furthe r innovation that ultimately will impact molecular imaging research and di agnostic imaging with PET. This presentation focuses on 1) total-body PET imaging which greatly improves signal collection\, allowing radiotracer k inetics to be assessed across the entire human body for the first time\, a nd 2) the development of detector technologies that have a timing precisio n of ~ 30 picoseconds\, enabling direct localization of radiotracer decays without tomographic reconstruction.
\nSimon R. Cherry\, Ph.D. received his B.Sc.(Hons) in Physics wit h Astronomy from University College London in 1986 and a Ph.D. in Medical Physics from the Institute of Cancer Research\, University of London in 19 89. After a postdoctoral fellowship at UCLA\, he joined the faculty in th e Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology\, also at UCLA\, in 199 3. In 2001\, Dr. Cherry joined UC Davis and established the Center for Mol ecular and Genomic Imaging\, which he directed from 2004-2016. Currently D r. Cherry is Distinguished Professor in the Departments of Biomedical Engi neering and Radiology at UC Davis.
\nDr. Cherry's research interests center around biomedical imaging and in particular the development and ap plication of in vivo molecular imaging systems. His major accomplishments have been in developing systems for positron emission tomography (PET)\, in particular the invention of the microPET technology that was subsequent ly widely adopted in academia and industry and as co-leader of the EXPLORE R consortium which has developed the world's first total-body PET scanner. He also has contributed to detector technology innovations for PET\, con ducted early biomedical studies using Cerenkov luminescence\, and develope d the first proof-of-concept hybrid PET/MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) s ystems.
\nDr. Cherry is a founding member of the Society of Molecula r Imaging and an elected fellow of six professional societies\, including the Institute for Electronic and Electrical Engineers (IEEE) and the Biome dical Engineering Society (BMES). He served as Editor-in-Chief of the jour nal Physics in Medicine and Biology from 2011-2020. Dr. Cherry received th e Academy of Molecular Imaging Distinguished Basic Scientist Award (2007)\ , the Society for Molecular Imaging Achievement Award (2011) and the IEEE Marie Sklodowska-Curie Award (2016). In 2016\, he was elected as a membe r of the National Academy of Engineering and in 2017 he was elected to the National Academy of Inventors. Dr. Cherry is the author of more than 240 peer-reviewed journal articles\, review articles and book chapters in the field of biomedical imaging. He is also lead author of the widely-used te xtbook "Physics in Nuclear Medicine".

\nFood allergy has reached epide
mic proportions. Accurate in vitro methods that are efficient and easy to
use to identify offending food allergens are lacking. Oral food challenge\
, the gold standard for food allergy assessment\, is often not performed a
s it places the patient at risk of anaphylaxis. As such\, food allergy is
often identified only after an adverse reaction that could be life-threate
ning. Our long-term goal is to develop a food allergy diagnostic test that
is accurate\, safe\, rapid\, and accessible\, so that food allergy can be
easily identified prior to the occurrence of an adverse reaction\, and th
at the efficacy of immunotherapy for food allergy can be tracked more effe
ctively. This talk will discuss our recent work on developing such a test.
Our approach is based on the Basophil Activation Test (BAT)\, which measu
res the activation of basophils in whole blood after stimulation with spec
ific food allergens ex vivo. The BAT has been shown to be highly predictiv
e of allergic reactions. However\, the need for flow cytometry has limited
its broader use. We are developing a miniaturized\, standalone version of
the BAT. We envision that the test can be used at the point of care\, suc
h as the doctor's office or at a local pharmacy.

Human population growth and urbanization have accelerated dramatically in recent centuries, providing unprecedented opportunities for microbes that use our bodies as vehicles for their own propagation and transmission. These conditions have led to the emergence of virulent new pathogens and the increased prevalence of "classic" scourges, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This tenacious microbe is transmitted via infectious aerosols produced by individuals with pulmonary tuberculosis. Infection is lifelong and symptomatic tuberculosis may develop following a period of clinical latency lasting for months, years, or decades. The first part of this lecture provides an overview of the natural history of TB infection and the global impact of TB on human health. Tuberculosis remains one of the most important causes of human disease and death despite the introduction of vaccination in 1921 and chemotherapy in 1952. Although these interventions are inexpensive and widely available their impact is limited. The effectiveness of vaccination is unclear; in clinical trials, the protection conferred by vaccination has been variable and generally poor. Although chemotherapy can be highly effective, multiple drugs must be administered for 6-9 months to provide a reliable cure; the majority of tuberculosis patients are unable or unwilling to complete such a demanding regimen unless closely supervised. The second part of this lecture will discuss the challenges facing development of more effective vaccines and drugs for prevention and treatment of tuberculosis. The principal obstacle to successful treatment of tuberculosis is the lengthy duration of current regimens, which require administration of multiple drugs for 6-9 months. The requirement for prolonged therapy is attributed to sub-populations of bacillary "persisters" that are refractory to antimicrobials. The persisters are not drug-resistant in the conventional (heritable) sense and it is a mystery why they are spared whilst their genetically identical siblings are killed. The third part of this lecture describes recent work in our laboratory using microfluidics and time-lapse microscopy to analyze the behavior of drug-stressed bacteria at single-cell resolution. These studies challenge conventional views of how antimicrobials kill (or fail to kill) bacteria. All pathogens must acquire and assimilate nutrients from their hosts in order to grow and multiply — our tissues are literally their food — yet surprisingly little is known about this fundamental aspect of the pathogenic lifestyle. Accumulating evidence suggests that M. tuberculosis might utilize fatty acids as its principal carbon and energy source during infection. The fourth part of this lecture describes work in our laboratory that is focused on identifying the metabolic pathways that are essential for growth and persistence of M. tuberculosis in vivo. Some of these pathways are potentially interesting targets for antimicrobial drug development, as they are not found in human cells.

Cold Sore Treatment
Ask Creative Smiles at WingHaven if our services are right for you
Make an AppointmentAlthough there is no cure for the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2) that causes them, cold sore breakouts can be managed and avoided. Cold sores, sometimes called fever blisters, appear around the lips and mouth and are often associated with red, swollen and irritated skin around the breakout areas.
About Cold Sores:
The HSV-1 virus is transmitted by direct contact with infected skin or saliva. A primary infection may occur during childhood and cause a fever, sore gums, sore throat and swollen or tender glands in the neck. After that, the virus remains dormant in nerve roots near the infected skin. In some people, the virus rarely, if ever, reactivates. But in others, recurrences called secondary herpes episodes may occur, producing cold sores. While medical experts have not determined the exact cause for reactivation, a variety of stimuli, such as stress, dental treatment, illness, trauma to the lips or sun exposure can precipitate an outbreak.
Symptoms of Cold Sores:
- Pain around the mouth
- Fever and sore throat
- Swollen neck glands (lymph nodes)
Causes of Cold Sore Outbreaks:
- Stress
- Chapped Lips
- Extreme sunlight exposure
- Physical exhaustion or illness
There is no cure for cold sores; however, our dentist can prescribe the use of medications that can be useful for their treatment and prevention. Although none of these medications will eliminate the dormant HSV-1 infection that causes cold sores, they can help the sores heal faster and relieve the associated pain and discomfort. They also can also help to suppress a cold-sore outbreak.
These drugs are effective in helping to prevent an outbreak of cold sores during a time of increased susceptibility and can help decrease recurrent outbreaks. Other treatments include topical antiviral creams and ointments. In addition, some of the topical treatments may reduce the average size and duration of a cold sore.
For advice and treatment of cold sores, call Creative Smiles at WingHaven at 636-561-6035.

DETROIT, Mich. (AP) _ Hyundai is recalling its popular Sonata midsize sedan to fix problems with the gear shift levers.
The recall covers 883,000 cars from the 2011 through 2014 model years.
The Korean automaker says the automatic transmission shift cable can separate from the shift lever. If that happens, the lever may not show the correct gear, increasing the risk of a crash.
Also, if the driver stops the car and puts the transmission in "park," the car may still be in gear and could roll away, injuring drivers, passengers or bystanders, Hyundai said in documents posted Wednesday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Other symptoms include an inability to start the car because it can't be shifted into park.
Hyundai has received 1,171 warranty claims about the problem, plus seven other reports with related symptoms. Hyundai says there have been no crashes or injuries caused by the problem. The Sonatas being recalled were made from Dec. 11, 2009 through May 29, 2014.
The Sonata is Hyundai's second-best-selling car in the U.S. so far this year. First is the compact Elantra.
Hyundai will notify owners by letter between now and the end of September. Dealers will inspect the shift cables and repair the connection if needed.
Owners with questions can call Hyundai customer service at (800) 633-5151.

Update: Talk to your local agent to request a contact-free life insurance quote. For a limited time, we are waiving the requirement of a paramedical exam in light of CDC guidance to maintain social distancing and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
What are the real reasons holding you back from getting life insurance*? Are you like the majority of Americans who don't have it, but say that they know they need it?
A study from Life Happens and the financial and insurance organization LIMRA shows that while 85 percent of study respondents agree that most people need life insurance, only 59 percent say they have life insurance.
Does this ring true for you? If so, maybe it's because of one of these reasons.
1. It's too expensive. Cost is the number one reason people don't have life insurance. The same study shows that consumers tend to overestimate the price of life insurance. For instance, when asked how much a $250,000 term life insurance policy would be for a healthy 30-year-old, the median estimate was $500 annually—more than three times the actual cost. Life insurance is probably more affordable than you think—and there are lots of ways to bring the price into your comfort zone.
2. I have a health condition. The good news is that having a health condition doesn't automatically disqualify you from getting life insurance. If you overcame a serious condition in the past or if you are managing a condition with the help of a medical professional, you can still be covered.
3. I don't have any kids. There are many reasons people with no children still need life insurance. Just a few include providing for a financially dependent spouse or another family member, having the money to pay for a funeral or being able to pay off a loan that has a cosigner. Life insurance can also help you leave a gift to a religious, educational or charitable organization near and dear to your heart.
When you purchase life insurance, consider adding a Guaranteed Insurability Option rider** which lets you increase your protection in the future, when you may have children or other reasons to increase coverage. By purchasing the Guaranteed Insurability Option rider with your initial Erie Family Life policy, you'll be able to increase your life insurance coverage over time without having to answer medical underwriting questions.
4. I don't work outside of the home. If you stay home to care for kids or other family members, it may take hiring someone to replace all that you do. And that could be pricey, so definitely consider buying life insurance as a way to cover those additional expenses.
5. I'm not sure what I need. Most people don't—but your Erie Insurance agent advisor is there to help you. Erie Family Life offers options like term insurance that's designed to last for a specific period of time and permanent plans designed to last a lifetime. Your agent can recommend one that works with your life and budget. You can also get an idea of how much life insurance you need by using our handy life insurance calculator.
6. I don't have the time. Life is busy, which is why Erie Family Life offers e-signature on life insurance policies to make the process easy and convenient. You can also consider ERIE LifeSense®, which can provide up to $90,000 worth of coverage in about 15 minutes. There are no doctor's visits or complicated forms—just a simple application with only a few medical questions.
Life insurance probably isn't something you want to talk about, but it really is too important to put off. Your Erie Insurance agent can make the conversation about protecting the people that matter most as easy as possible. When it comes to life insurance, the only wrong choice is doing nothing at all.
*Life insurance and annuity products are not available in New York.
**Guaranteed Insurability Option subject to underwriting approval. Not available on all plans. Issue ages 0—40. See your agent for rider specifics, availability, terms and conditions. Additional cost applies.

Dental bridges
A dental bridge will, as the name suggests, cover the gap where teeth are missing. A bridge is quite natural looking but is made up of an artificial tooth and two porcelain crowns. The crowns cover the natural tooth on both sides of the gap. The bridge is customized to fit your mouth properly and comfortably. Once fitted, it cannot be removed by hand or accidentally.
All of your teeth play an important role in speaking, chewing and in maintaining proper alignment of other teeth. Tooth loss doesn't necessarily have to occur as you age, but if you do lose teeth they must be replaced to maintain proper function of your mouth. Fortunately, there are options for correcting tooth loss.
Dental bridge options
A dental bridge — a device used to replace missing teeth — attaches artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth, called abutment teeth. Bridges are either permanently attached (fixed bridges), or they can be removable.
Fixed bridges are applied by either placing crowns on the abutment teeth or by bonding the artificial teeth directly to the abutment teeth. Removable bridges are attached to the teeth with metal clasps or by precision attachments.
If you're missing one or more teeth, you may be aware of their importance to your appearance and dental health. Your teeth work together for many daily functions from eating to speaking. With missing teeth, it's difficult to do these things. Missing teeth can and should be replaced. Fixed bridges are a great way to restore your dental health and appearance.
What exactly is a dental bridge or fixed partial denture?
A bridge (fixed partial denture) is a device which fills the gap where teeth are absent. Fixed bridges are bonded into place and can only be removed by a dental professional. Removable bridges, as the name implies, can be taken out and cleaned. Fixed bridges offer more stability than their removable counterparts.
Why do I need a dental bridge?
Oral functionality and appearance are important reasons for wearing a bridge. A bridge helps support your lips and cheeks. The loss of a back tooth may cause your mouth to sink and your face to look older.
Dental health is the most important reason for a bridge. Teeth were designed to complement each other. Unusual stresses are placed on the gums and other oral tissues when teeth are missing, causing a number of potentially harmful disorders.
Increased risk of gum disease has proven to be one of the worst side effects of missing teeth and can be minimized with a bridge.
Missing teeth can cause speech disorders as they are used to make many of the sounds we use to speak clearly.
How is a dental bridge attached?
The attachment procedure usually takes two or three appointments to complete. At the first appointment Dr. Langley will prepare the teeth on either side of the gap by removing a portion of the enamel and dentin.
Since the bridge must be fabricated very precisely to ensure correct bite and to match the opposing tooth, impressions of the teeth are taken and sent to a lab where the bridge will be constructed.
Fixed bridges are typically cemented to the natural teeth next to the space left by the missing tooth. A pontic (false tooth) replaces the lost tooth. Dental crowns, which are cemented onto the natural teeth, provide support for the bridge.
What materials are used for dental bridges?
Bridges can be constructed from gold alloys, non-precious alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Porcelain is often bonded to either precious or non-precious metal.
How do I take care of my bridge?
A strict regimen of brushing and flossing will keep the bridge and surrounding teeth clean. This is of critical importance as the bridge relies on the neighboring teeth for support.

Last Updated on October 16, 2011
October has come and here it is, also for this month, the first part of my Cyber Attacks Timeline covering the cyber events occurred in the first half of the current month.
Three events in particular have marked this month: The German Trojan R2-D2 (that is raising many questions and concerns inside the infosec community), the keylogger hitting U.S. Drones and a new cyber attack to Sony involving this time "only" 93,000 accounts (oops! They did it again).
Except for a couple of isolated occurrences (in Austria and UK), the Cyber Attacks by Anonymous and Antisec had a break, maybe because hacktivism efforts are being focused on the #OccupyWallStreet operation that is rapidly spreading all over the World (I wonder why in here in Rome yesterday it has not been possible to have peaceful protests as happened in all the other Capitals). Besides, albeit not directly related with Anonymous, several Syrian log files were leaked showing the control of the Government on the Internet.
Other events of the month: a couple of fashion related websites were hacked, the Cyber-Guerrilla between India and Pakistan was particularly active with the cyber armies of the two nations facing themselves in the cyber space with continual mutual defacements, @SwichSmoke was also particularly active against Venezuela Government Web Sites. Other "minor" leaks were performed by @FailRoot and @ThEhAcKeR12 but one of the victims of the latter was Camber Corporation, an U.S. Contractor.
Anyway, Camber Corporation was not the only targeted Contractor, also Raytheon Corporation (a survivor of the RSA Breach) was targeted with a cloud based spear-phishing campaign, again the attack was thwarted but, in my opinion, has deserved a mention as well. Chronicles also reports of a claimed hack to Infragard (again).
Moreover the aftermaths of the RSA breach are not completely over: this month the security firm's CEO claimed that a couple of different Cyber Crews, under the flag of an enemy nation (and the suspects were immediately directed to China), are behind the Cyber Attack in March and acted to perform it.
But a very special mention for this month (and the consequent lowly desiderable prize), is undoubtedly deserved by Mr. Oliver Letwin, Her Majesty's Cabinet Minister, who was caught by The Daily Mirror in the habit of dumping private correspondence and sensitive documents detailing Al-Qaeda activities and secret service operations into park bins in St James's Park, Westminster, close to Downing Street. Security, logical and physical, may have many unpredictable implications…
From a technical point of view SQLi and defacements were the most used lethal weapons for this month, even if a massive ASP.NET based attack, targeting 300,000 web sites, is also worth mentioning.
This Timeline was compiled with Useful Resources by:
- Cyber War News
- DATALOSSdb
- Naked Security
- Office Of Inadequate Security (DataBreaches.net)
- Softpedia
- The Hacker News
- Threatpost
And my inclusion criteria do not take into consideration simple defacement attacks (unless they are particularly resounding) or small data leaks.
Last but not least: you may find all the timelines for 2011 in my Master Index. Enjoy the list(s) and share and retweet to encourage me to keep it up2date!
