Posts for tag: composite resins
Restoring chipped, stained or decayed teeth with dental porcelain is a tried and true method that's been used for decades. In recent years, though, restorations made with composite resin have become a popular alternative.
Made of a plastic-based matrix with added glass filler, composite resin can be molded and bonded to teeth to replace missing structure with color to match. While they can't be used for every problem situation, they're an efficient and economical way to transform your smile.
Here are 4 advantages for using composite resin to restore moderately defective teeth.
They require very little tooth preparation. Crowns, veneers and other porcelain restorations require removing some healthy tooth structure to accommodate them. With the development of stronger bonding materials, composite resins can restore even many large defects in teeth caused by decay or trauma with little structural removal and still remain durable.
Most composite resin restorations are "single-visit" procedures. Unlike porcelain restorations, applying composite resin doesn't require a dental lab, a process that can take multiple visits. In most cases, a skilled dentist can apply them during a single visit.
They have excellent color matching capabilities. We usually think of teeth as one single shade of white — actually, a single tooth can have varying gradations of color from the root to the tip. As mentioned before, composite resins can be prepared to match those color shades precisely, so your restored teeth look natural and blend well with your other teeth.
Composite resins can be an effective temporary fix for young injured teeth. Because children's teeth are still developing, permanent restorations for traumatized teeth aren't usually advisable until they've fully matured. Composite resin can be used to restore a young tooth's form and function until it's ready for a permanent solution.
If you would like more information on restoring teeth with composite resin, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Artistic Repair of Front Teeth with Composite Resin."
No matter how damaged or decayed your teeth may have become, there's a restorative solution for it. From porcelain veneers that cover unattractive teeth to dental implants that permanently replace missing teeth, we have the means to give you back a beautiful, life-like smile.
But what if the problems with your teeth are relatively mild — a chipped tooth or a cavity in a highly visible place? Porcelain veneers and bridgework involve extensive tooth preparation that permanently alters the tooth. Is there a less intrusive option that still results in a life-like restoration?
The answer is yes. Composite resins are tooth-colored materials that are bonded directly to tooth surfaces. Made of a plastic-based material matrix with inorganic glass-like filler, composite resins require very little tooth preparation and are often applied in a single visit.
They're an excellent way to address imperfections or defects with an otherwise healthy tooth, while still preserving the majority of its remaining structure. In the hands of a skilled dentist, composite resins can be used to fill, repair and reshape teeth. They're also an ideal choice for younger patients whose dental arches are still in development — restorations that require extensive tooth preparation might compromise the tooth's long-term health. A composite resin treatment could serve as a transitional bridge until a more extensive restoration can be performed after the patient's mouth structure has fully matured.
Composite resins do have some disadvantages. Because the resin material isn't as strong as the tooth structure it replaces (although there have been great improvements in the last few years in resin strength), it may not stand up to biting pressures over time if there isn't enough remaining tooth structure available to support it. They material can also dull and stain with use.
Still, for moderate imperfections or as an interim solution until another restoration can be undertaken, composite resins are a good choice.
If you would like more information on restorations with composite resin, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Artistic Repair of Front Teeth with Composite Resin."

The simple parent
Kevin DeYoung suggests that we may have overcomplicated our parenting, focusing too much on the minutiae of what we do (on the basis of having read that book or heard that sermon series or found that system – you know, the one that really works) and overlooking the vital significance of who we are. It is encouraging and yet demanding stuff. He also records the gospel-rich communication that many parents wish might be the standard of their interaction with their children alongside the conversation that most of us have, which is worth reading in itself.
Could it be we've made parenting too complicated? Isn't the most important thing not what we do but who we are as parents? They will see our character before they remember our exact rules regarding television and twinkies.
I could be wrong. My kids are still young. Maybe this no-theory is a theory of its own. I just know that the longer I parent the more I want to focus on doing a few things really well, and not get too passionate about all the rest. I want to spend time with my kids, teach them the Bible, take them to church, laugh with them, cry with them, discipline them when they disobey, say sorry when I mess up, and pray like crazy. I want them to look back and think, "I'm not sure what my parents were doing or if they even knew what they were doing. But I always knew my parents loved me and I knew they loved Jesus." Maybe it's not that complicated after all.
Read it all.

Happy August, Prehabbers! This past July was in the top 5 hottest ever recorded for NYC, so it's more important than ever to take safety into account when taking your workouts outside.
Here are some of our favorite tips for keeping yourself safe while you sweat:
- Run early or late. This is almost always the first piece of advice given to beat the heat, and for good reason. The coolest time of the day is typically at sunrise or just before.
- Hydrate before, during (if you can), and after your run. Water is a must, but it's just as important to replenish your electrolytes. My personal favorite hydration tool is Nuun – low-or-no sugar tablets that dissolve in your water.
- Put a headband in the fridge a half hour before going out for a run – and better yet, leave one in there for when you get back! I also like to take off my headbands during a race at the water station, dunk it in water, and squeeze it out over my head. Buff headbands work great for this and offer UV protection!
- Take regular walk break intervals, and use those intervals to check in with yourself for signs of heat exhaustion. If you have any doubt, cut your workout short! It's always better to be safe than sorry.
Learn more about the symptoms of heat exhaustion on our Prehab page here. These steps should help you avoid it and keep you active outdoors all summer long!

New York City has plenty of islands. Long Island, Roosevelt Island, and Manhattan are just a few of the famous islands in and around the Big Apple. But did you know there's actually one island that no one is allowed to visit?
It's called Uthant Island, and it has a bizarre history that involves tunnel magnates, a religious group, a bird sanctuary and the United Nations. A guy from Vox Media decided to dig deeper into the mysterious Uthant Island, and even somewhat illegally visited it.
Unfortunately, now this place is going to be the new hipster hotspot. Better add it to the list of gentrifying neighborhoods!

Tourism ministry fines to go up by 50%
Further reform of tourism legislation is scheduled to come into effect before next summer. A key aspect of it will be a 50% increase in fines. The tourism director-general, Antoni Sansó, says that fines are the only way of ensuring compliance with regulations, such as those with regard to holiday rentals.
One of the latest areas for potential breaches has to do with the presentation of information when applying for a holiday rental licence. If this information is false, an owner can be fined. The same goes for other types of application, be this for accommodation of one type of another or for hire cars.
Sansó adds that reform of the legislation will address legal vacuums contained in the 2012 law and which have given rise to problems. Among these are the offer of accommodation in youth hostels, refuges and motor homes and on boats.
With youth hostels, for instance, these should be just that. However, the legal vacuum implies that general tourist accommodation can be offered when it should not be. "Everyone," suggests Sansó, "tries to cheat in providing accommodation to tourists. With the reform, this will be impossible."
The fines are therefore going to start at 6,000 and go up to 60,000 euros for individuals. These will apply, for example, to owners who breach holiday rentals legislation and to ones who present false claims when applying for licences. The higher range of fines - from 60,000 to 600,000 euros - will be for businesses, such as accommodation websites.
The reform that the government has in mind will be in the form of a new tourism law. To date, it has just tweaked existing legislation. The draft text of the law is expected to be put out to public consultation next month.

What is an expert witness
The role of the expert witness
An expert witness may be anyone who holds specialist knowledge or experience in a field or discipline considered to be beyond the ken of a typical layman. In contrast to non-expert witnesses, who are allowed to testify only to facts, expert witnesses are allowed to testify to their opinions within their specified realm of expertise, but not beyond. Either party in an adversarial legal system may employ expert advisors to assist them with technical matters, data, preparation of strategy and examination, but this is not an expert witness. An expert witness's overriding duty is to the court - whose duty is the provision of a fair trial - rather than to either the prosecution or the defence, no matter which side called the witness or is paying them for their time.
The court must give permission for an expert witness to be called to testify in a matter before them. Motions to exclude expert witness testimony may be filed by either party in a case if there is a reasonable basis for the assertion that the expert witness is not qualified or cannot offer unbiased and objective opinions. Criminal trials are not required to contain any type of forensic evidence or expert witness testimony and more often than not, will proceed with exclusively fact witnesses.
Opinions given by an expert witness may be based on prior knowledge, facts in evidence, testing results or reasoning. Uncertainty (whether the opinion given is accurate) is separate from an assessment of evidential value (the significance of a given opinion in context), both of which should be communicated by the expert witness if known. There is often an unavoidable level of uncertainty in opinion evidence and this must be explained and quantified to the extent possible by the expert witness, either in the report or testimony.
Evidential value, or weight of evidence, refers to how important to the questions at issue the conclusion of the expert is; for example the meaning of a 'match' is different if the analysis is comparing shoe prints rather than DNA, or if a defendant's fingerprint is found to match a fingerprint from a potential murder weapon and that weapon is a kitchen knife from the defendant's home where they cook regularly rather than a gun they claim to have never seen. Often, the weight of the link provided by expert evidence cannot be quantified and so to ascribe a specific value to it can be misleading.
Expert witness statement and testimony
An expert witness is usually expected to produce a report or statement prior to the trial containing the results of their analysis. Such a statement must include details of the expert witness' qualifications, experience and certification/accreditation if applicable, as well as their proffered scope of expertise. The basis for any opinions or conclusions drawn must be stated, such as published literature, recovered data or case information provided by either party or the police. If colleagues or other similar experts are expected to or have offered differing conclusions from the same evidence, this should be included in the statement and an explanation of the reasons for the expert witness's own opinion articulated. The report will be disclosed to both prosecution and defence in a criminal trial.
An expert witness must be able to communicate complex ideas to a lay audience in a succinct manner. Presentation skills are important for an expert witness as they need to explain their scientific or technical discipline in brief to the fact finder and then articulate their conclusions and the bases for them without losing the attention of non-experts. The expert witness may opine on the evidence and their analysis in response to questions asked by the attorneys or the court, and should put such answers in appropriate context, but they may not offer unsolicited opinions or advocate for either party.

Vindu Goel from The Lede's blog cousin, Bits, draws our attention to a development in a story we discussed yesterday.
Silicon Alley Insider reported last night that the blogging platform Tumblr had reversed its decision to shut down five blogs primarily dedicated to criticism of other bloggers. Eric Krangel of Insider writes:
That was fast. Yesterday, blogging service Tumblr moved to ban five accounts the site's admins judged were "harassing" users — the so called "anonybloggers." But after receiving "several hundred responses from users who are upset," Tumblr founder David Karp is backstepping: The banned accounts have returned.
Fans of sites like baugher, an anonyblogger nursing an unhealthy obsession with Internet microcelebrity Julia Allison, will be relieved.
On Tumblr's own blog, Mr. Karp explained the reversal and announced a new feature that will, at least, make it easier for people whose blogs are being mocked to not know about it:
I've read several hundred responses from users who are upset about the recent changes to our Content Policy.
First, let me again apologize for taking action before publicly explaining these policy changes. Some internal confusion lead to five accounts being suspended prematurely. […]
After giving this serious consideration, we think it would be more appropriate for us to give you the control to police this content, rather than our moderators. So we've hurried to finish a new block feature that will let you filter content from your post notes and Dashboard.
In light of all this, we've decided to restore the accounts affected, and remove the language in question from our Content Policy. It was a miscommunication that lead to these accounts being removed prematurely, but it was my decision to leave them off. In retrospect, this was the wrong decision, and I hope we can work to regain your trust and continue building Tumblr into something great.
The essence of the problem is that Tumblr blogs, until now, have worked more or less like blogs that accept comments but are not moderated, so bloggers using Tumblr were unable to block out the noise of the crowd that was razzing them.
As Mr. Krangel comments though, this new blocking feature "will require an Internet stalker to at least copy-and-paste a Tumblr post in order to mock it, which may or may not slow down Tumblr's more dedicated jerks."

Small firms play a negligible role in the Chinese energy sector but capping the larger players (necessary for RIC compliance) means that CHIE won't Fit our benchmark well. Regardless, it's the best you can do in an ETF wrapper. Unfortunately, CHIE hasn't attracted much investor attention and is difficult to trade.Prior to December 6, 2018, CHIE tracked a Solactive index of Chinese energy companies. The old index included electric and natural gas utilities as well as energy sector firms.

The Story Of The 'Phantom' Wristwatch.
Mysterious yet sophisticated is what Phantom is all about. It is a watch for men who are looking for a leather watch that will add sophistication to their persona. This smokey leather watch is one of the first watches the owner of Chronodos ever got and loved ever since.
Phantom is a very rare watch for men when it comes down to design and use of colors. This will become one of your favorite leather accessories for years to come.
The Details Of The Watch.
Phantom is a leather watch with a silver stainless casing with a diameter of 40 mm and a face diameter of 35 mm. The bezel width is 3 mm and the display is analog with a manual winding mechanism that you will enjoy. The window material is made from scratch proof crystal mineral glass that will keep your leather watch safe and protected at all times.
The Details Of The Leather Cuff.
The smokey grey leather band is made from the softest Italian leathers we currently work with. Handmade, handstitched and simply marvelous. The band width is 40 mm and has a single push button deployment clasp.
Aesthetics Of The Watch.
Phantom truly stands out as a result of it's sophisticated design. It is a leather watch that is somewhat more refined yet unique in every aspect. The soft slate grey leather band has 4 steel nails atatched to it yet the watch is very light. It feels as if you are wearing a velvet band which only adds to the subtleness of this watch.
Attached to the leather cuff you will find a stunning skeleton watch with an intricate network of blue, gold, and black bridges that are finished by dauphine movements. The numerals are gold and slightly more minimalistic and the bezel has a more detailed numerical outer ring.
Just by looking at this leather watch you will immediately understand it's value. It is simply a magnificant yet sophisticated vibe it sends off and is a watch many of our customers are wearing as week speak.

More than $2.3 million for Sutherland Springs victim recovery announced by Gov. Greg Abbott
Millions of dollars have been allocated to support survivors of the Sutherland Springs shooting with mental health and legal services, Gov. Greg Abbott announced Thursday afternoon.
More than $2.3 million will be divided between six agencies to fund counseling, mental health screenings, education and legal assistance for those who lived through the November 2017 shooting that left 26 dead and 20 more injured.
Residents of Sutherland Springs, a small town roughly 30 minutes southeast of San Antonio, will also be able to receive assistance through "community resiliency and recovery programs."
RELATED: Sutherland Springs conspiracy theorists charged, released
"I hope these services will provide some relief and comfort for those Texans that need it the most," Abbott said, adding the money would be provided through grant funding.
The University of Texas at San Antonio will receive $550,000 to provide counseling for children and trauma specialists and counselors to work with adults. Floresville Independent School District will be given $500,000, as well, to help traumatized students faculty continue to recover.
The Children's Bereavement Center of South Texas, the Ecumenical Center, the San Antonio Bar Association and the Camino Real Mental Healthy Authority, will each be provided with funds to assist with mental health or legal services.
It is unclear when each agency will receive money.

Summary: At seventeen, Trinity McCabe has already made enough mistakes to fill a lifetime. Especially the one where she got high, drove a car, and almost killed a dog. And then let her friend Aidan take the blame.
She's clean now and desperate to fix the messes she's made, but first she's going to have to get out of her pajamas.
As Trinity struggles to stop sleepwalking through life, she faces the painful, tingling sensation of waking up. It's sometimes embarrassing (she really didn't want to have lunch with Aidan's mom), sometimes terrifying (group therapy is beyond intimidating), and sometimes, amazingly enough, pretty romantic (who'd have though Aidan would be such a great kisser?)
Trin is lucky, though—luckier than she deserves, she's sure—and she doesn't travel this road alone. Her family, her therapist, and her new friends are all pulling for her. And it turns out, some of them have made pretty big mistakes, too.
But before she can embrace her new life completely, Trinity has to be forgiven by the one person who is holding out the hardest: herself. It's not easy changing everything, especially when you don't think you deserve a second chance. Trinity might make an even bigger mess of things before she figures that out.
When the smoke clears on her latest disaster, will anyone still be standing there?
Forgiving Trinity is a much darker and serious book about addiction that I've read up to this point. There are points when the story is pretty slow, but I think that works best with the seriousness of the story. Forgiving Trinity is a really interesting story, and I loved reading from Trinity's POV as she struggles to come to terms with the events of her past and start living life again. We see this from a psychological viewpoint and what goes through the mind of a person recovering from addiction.
I really liked that Trinity wasn't the only character that needed to overcome past events. Aidan also struggles with recovering from addiction, and Ruth struggles with recovering from an assault. The fact that the two people that are closest to Trinity aren't seemingly perfect and can understand and relate to her was also appealing. In other books I've read about addiction the people closest to the one recovering seem too perfect and the one recovering feels ostracized. That's not the case in Forgiving Trinity. Trinity, Aidan, and Ruth can all find strength in each other and their commonalities.
Aidan and Trinity's relationship was really beautiful, but also really fragile. The fragility is what makes it feel real. I think that they became too close to each other too soon. Aidan was looking for an emotional connection and Trinity was looking for a physical connection, but they ended up offering each other the opposite of what they wanted. There were points when they were completely in sync, but then something would happen to put them out of sync. In the beginning of the book, Trinity and Aidan moved too fast; wanted too much and didn't offer enough. The disruption in the middle of the story is probably the best thing that could have happened for their relationship; it put things in perspective for them. By the end, they slowed down and I'm sure that they can appreciate each other more now.
Though I absolutely loved this book, this story, and these characters; this is definitely not a book for everyone. But I believe that it's worth it to give this book a shot, whether you end up liking it or not. Liz Reinhardt is an amazing writer and I look forward to checking out her other works.

The Development of the Bible: An Interview with Michael Kruger
Tabletalk: As president of a Reformed seminary, what do you consider to be the greatest spiritual challenges that future pastors face in the United States and in the world? How can they prepare for those challenges? Michael Kruger: In prior generations, pastors have been repeatedly told that theology and doctrine don't really matter and that they should just focus on running their ministries and shepherding the flock. However, the last few years of decline in America have shown that our theological convictions really do matter. The only pastors (and churches) who have been able to withstand the cultural … View Resource
Eating Flesh, Drinking Blood
Difficult words, no doubt. No less for John's readers than for Jesus' hearers. For many that day, it was too much, so they walked away. Just the day before, Jesus fed five thousand people from five loaves of bread and two fish (John 6:1–14). Once they were well fed, having enjoyed the benefits of Jesus' miracle, the people concluded, "This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world," and they decided that He should be king (vv. 14–15). What a difference a day makes. Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the … View Resource

It is clear that God's agenda in and through the church is to showcase His manifold wisdom: "so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places" (Eph. 3:10). At the same time, there are many people with tremendous influence and ability who are not believers. Do you ever wonder why God has chosen to pass by some with so much "promise" only to give new … View Resource
Not One Jot or Tittle
Matthew 5:17–18 is a key text for interpreting the Sermon on the Mount and the entire gospel of Matthew: Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Here Jesus says that not one iota (jot) or dot (tittle) will pass away from the law. These most likely refer to the smallest strokes of the Hebrew alphabet, … View Resource
The Perspicuity of Scripture
One of the most important but often most overlooked parts of our order of service at Saint Andrew's Chapel is the prayer of illumination. In our liturgy, the prayer of illumination is situated between the reading of Scripture and the sermon. In our prayer, we humbly ask God to illumine His Word to us by the Holy Spirit so that we would rightly hear, understand, and apply what the Lord is saying to us in His Word. The reason it is one of the most important elements of our service is because we desperately need the Holy Spirit to help … View Resource
The History of Study Bibles
In 1560, an exiled group of pastors and theologians made history. They published the first full edition of the Geneva Bible. It was a remarkable feat on many fronts. These scholars who worked on the Geneva Bible had been leaders of the Reformation in England and Scotland. When "Bloody Mary" took the throne, she threw into reverse the advancing Reformation, taking the nation back to Roman Catholicism. Britain's Reformers found themselves in prison, martyred, or in exile. Many went to Calvin's Geneva. Calvin wasn't much for idle hands. Florentine jewelers who had converted to Protestantism were also among the exiles … View Resource
Study Bibles and the Great Commission
A stranger noticed I was carrying a study Bible and remarked, "That's an odd title." He was pointing at the spine of my Bible. I stood speechless for a brief moment, trying to figure out what he meant. "It's not the word Bible," he continued. "I get that. But all the Bibles I have ever seen say, 'Holy Bible.' I understand what that means. The word study in the title of a Bible doesn't make sense to me." I explained that it is a Bible with explanatory notes to help readers understand the words, ideas, context, and overall … View Resource
Study Bibles as Theological Tool Kits
When the Apostle Paul wrote to his young friend and pastoral protégé Timothy, he gave him a clear command about how to handle the Scriptures: "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth" (2 Tim. 2:15). We may draw several implications from this brief exhortation. First, handling God's Word takes effort and skill. Timothy is to be a "worker," doing his "best"—that is, striving by the Spirit to deploy careful excellence—as he undertakes this sacred task. Second, though Timothy is to interpret … View Resource
Study Bibles for Our Hearts, Homes, and Churches
Study Bibles are hardly new inventions. The medieval Glossa Ordinaria on the Latin Vulgate, Martin Luther's prefaces and marginal notes in his German translation, and the Geneva Bible testify that for centuries, people have sought to combine the text of Scripture with words of explanation or other helps for the reader. Today, many people read study Bibles at home and carry them to church. Is this good or bad? It depends on how we use them. How Not to Use Study Bibles Do not read study Bibles upside down. Study Bibles typically feature the text of Scripture on the … View Resource
Study Bibles in the Church
When I was young in the Christian faith, I was asked to teach a Bible study every Saturday night for my church's youth group. I felt honored, but at the same time I was terrified since I had never actually completed reading the entire Bible and did not have a clear idea about what to teach from Scripture. My first impulse was to find different topics that I thought were important to Christians, so I started looking for passages in the Bible that would teach about love, justice, forgiveness, salvation, and so on. It was a lot of work, until … View Resource
Study Bibles: Soli Deo Gloria
I was preaching at a church in Bogotá, Colombia, in 2007. The church met in an old warehouse, and although the congregation was rather large, it was quite poor. After my sermon, I met with several pastors from around Bogotá who gathered to discuss gospel ministry in Colombia. The pastors were interested in knowing more about Reformed theology and how they could begin to teach it in their churches. At one point in our discussion, one of the pastors took his Bible and placed it on the table in front of me. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it … View Resource

Defining Our Terms
The doctrine of Scripture is foundational to the Christain faith. But there is more to say about Scripture than simply, "The Bible says it. I believe it. That settles it." If you don't grasp what the Bible is and how it came to be, you'll never fully grasp its meaning.

If you read church history, you have seen it all. That's not entirely hyperbole. Many of the challenges and questions we face in the church today have been met by past generations of believers. Did not a wise man once say, "There is nothing new under the sun"? This holds true regarding the doctrine of inerrancy. In 1979, Jack B.

Just Me And My Bible?
Roman Catholic theology is noted for the emphasis it puts on tradition, which is placed alongside Scripture as an equally authoritative stream of revelation. The Reformers rightly rejected this view and emphasized sola Scriptura as the church's only infallible authority. But is there a place for tradition in the Reformed faith? John Murray, the former professor of systematic theology at Westminster Theological Seminary, once spoke to this question: There is a Reformed tradition. It is enshrined in the Reformed creeds, theology, worship, and practice. We believe it is the purest representation and expression of Apostolic Christianity. It is in this … View Resource

Original version corrected to reflect correct millage for Recovery One.
ELYRIA — County commissioners are starting the process of determining how much revenue Lorain County could generate if levies were placed on the ballot to combat the drug epidemic on two fronts.
On Wednesday, the commissioners passed resolutions requesting the Lorain County auditor to certify the total tax valuation for the county and the dollar amount of revenue that could be generated for two five-year levies — one to fund the county crime and drug lab another to fund Recovery One. The latter is a one-stop recovery facility in which the Nord Family Foundation, The LCADA Way, Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services Board of Lorain County and the Lorain County Board of Mental Health are partnering with the commissioners to open at the old Golden Acres facility.
County Administrator Jim Cordes stressed that the resolutions do not place levies on the upcoming November ballot, but give the commissioners vital information needed in making a decision. This is a conversation many municipalities are having — gauging how to combat the drug epidemic, how to pay for it and what role residents and taxpayers should have in determining both.
"We cannot deny that we have a very serious problem in the county," Commissioner Matt Lundy said. "It is a problem that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later."
The auditor will look at different funding levels for each proposal.
For the crime and drug lab, the commissioners want to see what is generated for five years for .040 and .080 mills in additional leverage. For Recovery One, the auditor will look at .15 mills, .20 mills, .25 mills and .30 mills for five years.
The commissioners know levies will be hard sells.
In November 2016, county voters refused to approve tax increases proposed in part to address the drug-addiction crisis. They rejected a property tax to support the county coroner and the county crime and drug lab and they rejected a property tax to fund drug and alcohol prevention, treatment and recovery services.
Ensuring a revenue stream for Recovery One is critical because Cordes said the commissioners will leverage the tax revenue as match money to ensure additional funding for the facility.
Commissioner Lori Kokoski said Recovery One is the missing link in treatment in Lorain County.
"It is the mission element that will help us in the present and in the future," she said as she talked about her sons' struggles with addiction. "There is no where in Lorain County to go if someone needs help that can take them today."
Recovery One is a new initiative that puts all treatment tracks — detox, rehabilitation, therapy and transitional housing — under one roof.
Commissioners sought and received $500,000 in state funding earlier this year to help pay the estimated $850,000 cost to get the building ready for its new role. But more money will be needed to fully get the program up and running.
Cordes said the commissioners will discuss both levies in two weeks, which will give the board enough time to decide if it can meet the Aug. 8 deadline for getting issues on the November ballot.

Wood Lathe – Buyer's Safety Guide
Safety needs to come first with any project, and this is especially true when working with a wood lathe. Whenever working with a wood lathe, you must remember to observe good shop safety habits. Please make sure to read and understand all instructions before using any of these lathes.
Firstly, secure the lathe to a sturdy surface before putting it into use, or make sure it is installed securely to a base before conducting any turning operation.
When operating a lathe, avoid wearing jewelry (including rings and watches) and long-sleeved shirts, as these items could become caught in the rotating mechanism. Wear eye protection at all times when working around any lathe or other woodworking tools. Though safety glasses and safety goggles are good for providing eye protection, safety shields are best to provide full face protection and to protect the user from flying wood chips and particles.
Some of the exotic types of wood that undergo turning operations can stir up particulate matter and produce dust that is harmful to inhale and can cause respiratory problems. While working around environments that produce a lot of dust and other particulate matter that can be harmful to breathe, be sure to wear NIOSH approved respiratory protection .
Observing these simple safety precautions will help keep the work area safe and permit the opportunity to turn out other various items on the lathe.

What is a Wood Lathe?
A wood lathe is an electronic tool that is meant to produce different shapes and help users to create a completely new makeover to a piece of wood by performing different functions that include cutting, knurling, deformation, drilling, turning, facing, sanding, etc.
Designer wooden furniture and other masterpieces created from wood have already captured the market widely. A plain jagged wooden log is processed and sculpted into different shapes and designs which are meant to fulfill different furniture purposes, and also make home interior look classy with the decorative items designed.
Wood lathes are basically meant for industrial purposes, because the machine is really complicated and dangerous to work on, and thus the operator needs to be a professional to carry on the operations accurately.
Different wood lathe machines are available in different sizes, and depending on the features and functions the size of the machine may vary.
Some are meant to suit expert operations, while others are meant to be operated by beginners. Depending on the purpose for which you are buying the machine, you should choose the level of the device accordingly.
A latheworks to generate classic designs in the least possible time while asking for minimal efforts to be put in by the operator. The woodworking lathehas the capacity to work wonders for your industry, and thus below we will discuss the numerous features that demand your attention, so you can choose the most suitable wood lathe for your needs

KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 18): The FBM KLCI rose 2.7 points or 0.16% to 1,685.67 at midday break today after a report by The Wall Street Journal that US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin discussed lifting some or all tariffs imposed on Chinese imports boosted global investors' risk appetite.
At 12:30pm today, the KLCI settled higher with Asian stocks after US share markets at Wall Street climbed overnight on Thursday.
Across Bursa Malaysia today, total volume was 1.49 billion shares valued at RM884.2 million. Bumi Armada Bhd topped the bourse's active list followed by Sapura Energy Bhd.
Hong Leong Investment Bank Bhd head of retail research Loui Low wrote in a note today that the research firm believes "positive sentiment overnight at Wall Street will be spilling over to stocks on the local bourse, lifting the KLCI eventually towards 1,700. Traders may look into opportunities within export-related and O&G (oil and gas) sectors amid a weaker ringgit tone and firmer Brent oil prices above US$60 (RM246.96), respectively."

Everyone loves a good nostalgia trip, especially Kim Kardashian, who blessed us with another blast from the past in her latest Instagram Stories roundup of photos from her teen years.
The journey began with Kardashian showing off her museum-worthy collection of Kanye West's old shutter shades and 808s & Heartbreak merch from the late 2000s, before she eventually moved on to uncovering family photo albums of her parents and grandparents, notes from her sisters about stealing her clothes, her first selfies taken at a young age, and baby photos of Kardashian where she claims she looks like Chicago's twin. Of course, many of the photos are filled with familiar faces, like those of a young Nicole Richie and Sara Foster, alongside snaps of Kourtney, Khloé, and Rob Kardashian in their youth.
Kim's throwback collages are a treasure trove of teen life—bopping to Snoop Dogg's first album on boat excursions, girls' trips to Mexico when they were just 13, and their parents dropping them off at Rite Aid so they can hit up the photo booth. You know, just like any other adolescent growing up in Calabasas would. While rummaging through her old high school yearbooks, Kardashian also mentioned she is gearing up for her 20-year high school reunion with her best friends from the class of 1998.
However, there is one very surprising special guest who made an appearance on Kardashian's Instagram Stories: Jake Gyllenhaal. The two did not go to the same high school (Kardashian attended Marymount High School in Bel Air, while Gyllenhaal graduated from Harvard-Westlake), but at some point in his youth Gyllenhaal must have scored an invite to hang out with Kardashian at one of her birthday parties. Who knew they were ever friends?
Kardashian also tweeted that she was scanning the photos from her albums and would post them soon. Perhaps she'll add them to a new edition of Selfish, or maybe she'll turn them into another book entirely, but one thing is for sure: There needs to be a special episode of the new season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians that involves an investigation of all of the now-famous people that none of us even knew the Kardashians used to be friends with in high school.
