Why Do Gums Recede?

First of all, you need to know why gum recession occurs normally your gums cover your inner roots and protect them from several damages.
But when they recede, the roots become visible. As a result, the roots of your tooth become weak and lose the protection that healthy gums provide you.
It can cause various oral health issues. So when the roots are exposed. They become more sensitive to tooth decay and increased the risk of tooth loss. Since this can cause problems with your teeth and make your smile look less attractive.
There are main two receding gums stages and further sub-stages:

• Gingivitis
• Initial gingivitis
• stable gingivitis
• Periodontitis

Gum recession passes through many stages, each representing the degrees of tissue loss and severity.

Gingivitis:

Gingivitis is a form of gum disease that causes inflammation in your gums. It mostly occurs by the bacteria called plaque which sticks to your tooth and causes infection.
When this bacteria is not properly removed by brushing. It can irritate the gums which leads to the symptoms such as redness, and swelling, which may cause bleeding during the brushing.
There are also two sub-stages of gingivitis that most people pass through:
Gingivitis stages:

1. Initial Gingivitis:

In this stage, your gums may appear slightly pink and reddish type and you also feel may be mild discomfort and tenderness and sometimes it may be bleeding while brushing your teeth.

1. Stable Gingivitis:

When the gingivitis is in progress the gums become more inflamed and bleed more easily while eating or chewing. The redness and swelling become more visible and you continuously feel bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth

Periodontitis

Periodontitis is another form of gum disease. It affects the gums tissues that support your teeth. It normally happens to the inflammation of gums or bacteria that build up slowly around your teeth. If left untreated, periodontitis can lead to tooth loss.
Periodontitis treatment involves dental cleaning, brushing, flossing, and surgery in severe cases. The main cause of periodontitis is bad oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes, medications, and stress. Its symptoms include bad breathe, bleeding gums especially during brushing and receding gums etc.

Treatment Of Periodontitis

Let’s talk a little bit about the treatment of periodontal. It mostly happens by not taking care of your oral hygiene like not brushing or cleaning your teeth.
There are some things you do:

• Maintain your mouth hygiene: Brush your teeth at least 2 times a day and use mouthwash. And don’t forget to clean your tongue. After eating a meal rinse your mouth to out food particles.
• Quit smoking: Smoking plays a very important role in to risk of periodontal disease. So quiet smoking to decrease the chances of gum problems
• Quit alcohol consumption: Drinking alcohol causes dehydration. It leads to a dry mouth that slows the production of saliva. Which play a vital role in rinsing away food particles and harmful bacteria in your mouth which cause gum diseases.
• Balance diet: Good food plays a very important role to maintain healthy gums and teeth. Don’t eat a lot of sugary snacks and limit your intake of soft drinks which are high in sugar. Eat food that is rich in vitamins and minerals. Such as fruits and vegetables which support your gum health

Symptoms Of Gum Recession

The most common sign of gum recession is visible tooth roots and here are the other major symptoms of gum recession:

• Sensitivity: When tooth roots become visible they lost their protective covering which can lead to an increase in the sensitivity of the tooth to heat, cold, and sweets.
• Tooth pain: Gum recession can cause discomfort and tooth pain, especially when eating or drinking.
• Gum inflammation: It can cause redness, swelling, and inflammation in the gums.
• Bleeding Gums: Brushing or flossing may cause the gums to bleed easily.

Gums Receding Causes

​
The process of gums tissues wearing away or receding is caused by numerous factors. We need to understand that these causes should be prevented to maintain optimal oral health. Here are some main causes of gum recession:

• Bad oral hygiene: The main cause of gum recession is brushing too hard or improperly, which can lead to the buildup of plaque and tarter. Over a period of time, this can irritate gums and causes them to recede.
• Gum Disease: The most common cause of receding gums is periodontal disease or gum disease. It causes gum inflammation and infections, which affect the supporting tissues and structure of gums.
• Smoking or Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco products can increase the risk of gum recession. The use of tobacco weakens your immune system and limits your blood flow to the gums.
• Bad nutrition: Gum recession also occurs by not taking an adequate amount of essential nutrients, particularly vitamin C, which can increase the risk of gum recession.
• Misalignment of Teeth: It can create areas that are harder to clean which increases the risk of plaque to buildup in these areas and causes gum recession.

It is important to note receding gums is a slow process that is gradually influenced by a combination of these factors, doing good oral hygiene visit the dentist regularly can help you to prevent gum recession.

Treatment And Pain Solutions

Can Gum Recession Reverse?
Sadly gum recession cannot be reverse on its own. Once the tissue of the gums is lost it does not grow back. However, there are some treatments available, that can help to restore your gum health and cover the roots of your teeth.

What Is Receding Gums On One Tooth?

Receding gums on one tooth is a situation in which the tissues around your gum start to wear away or pull back which exposes your tooth’s roots.
The main cause of receding gums on one tooth includes brushing too hard, Periodontitis diseases, bad oral hygiene, or trauma to the gum tissue.
If you not treated it properly it can cause further gum recession, increases sensitivity and tooth decay.

How To Fix Receding Gums?

The treatment of receding gums depends on what type of case you faced in gum recession if it is an initial stage then it can be improved by non-surgical treatments. Here we discussed four non-surgical treatments for gum recession:

• Scaling and Root Planing: This is a process of deep cleaning in which a professional dentist removes the plaque and tartar from the roots of the gums. It helps to eliminate bacteria and smooth the surface of a tooth.
• Antibiotics: Topical antibiotics can play an important role in the treatment of gum recession. Your dentist provides you antibiotics in different forms such as mouth rinses, gel, and oral medications. Remember antibiotics are not required for every gums recession. It depends on the severity of the gum disease.
• Laser Therapy: This non-surgical laser treatment is very effective to remove bacteria and tissues that cause infection in your gums, and recover your gum health and reattachment.
• Receding gums braces: In some cases, the dentist recommended orthodontic treatment such as braces and aligners for teeth. Doing proper tooth alignment equally distributes the forces exerted on the gums, which reduce the risk of further gum recession.

8 WAYS TO STOP PAIN IN RECEDING GUMS

I know the pain of receding gums is very uncomfortable and disturbing but don’t worry here are the 8 simple and easy steps you follow you may get relief from gum problems:

1. Your Brushing Habits: First of all, change your brushing habits. Avoid it if you are brushing too hard or aggressively it can damage your tooth roots and supporting tissues which can irritate the gums and may cause them to recede.
2. Warm Compression: By applying a warm compression of cotton cloth outside of your cheeks near the area which is affected. This can help you to reduce pain and inflammation in your gums.
3. Using lukewarm Salt Water: Rinse your mouth with lukewarm salty water (adding a half teaspoon of salt to a cup of warm water) helps you to relieve pain and discomfort in your gums.
4. Apply Clove Oil: Clove oil is a natural painkiller. It has analgesic properties by applying a small amount of clove oil to a particular area is very helpful to reduce pain.
5. Avoid Smoking: If you are a smoker then it is not good for your gum health. It can delay your gum healing and may worsen your gum.
6. Desensitizing Toothpaste: Don’t use whitening or high-fluoride toothpaste. It can worsen your gum pain. We recommend using desensitizing toothpaste which is specifically for sensitive teeth and helps you to relieve pain.
7. Using tea bags: Tea has tennis which contains anti- properties applying a warm tea bag to the affected helps to increase the blood flow and relieve pain
8. Avoid Clenching or Grinding: Most people have habits to clench or grind their teeth, especially during sleeping which can affect your teeth and gums. Using a mouth guard can help you to protect your teeth and gums.

We moved to a new apartment and my plant got spider mites. It was back in January when we used central heating. I treated it with neem oil and it recovered.
It's summer now and we keep our ventilation turned on. And the plant got spider mites again.
I have a hypothesis that the air from outside brings them in. Is it silly to think so?

I wonder how long it's been since she's been COMPLETELY sober? Because this extended stay is going to be VERY sobering. I think their biggest mistake was quitting their regular jobs to pursue social media/OF. I think she was a functioning alcoholic who dabbled in other drugs. But it seems like alcohol completely consumed her at that time, along with shrooms & weed (which she would do on live). Then obviously Matt was her downfall!
So what would a truly sober K that treated her mental illness be like? Hopefully this is her wake up call, and she gets the help that she so desperately needs.

I know, that’s one hell of a title, but that is legit what is happening.
Tl;Dr: Niece moved in with us last year; kicked out of grandparents. Turns out she is a mental nightmare of a human. The agreed upon moveout date is finally here but she isn’t ready. She recently started bringing a guy over; we believe she is intentionally trying to get knocked up in hopes he will take care of her. No way this guy has the finances to take care of a family.
Last year in a July, my girlfriend approached me about her niece staying with us for a couple months so that she can get on her feet. I didn’t ask any questions, figured things would be fine, I wanted to be supportive because GF always wants so desperately to help her family.
Well she moved in and this girl is a fucking terrorist. It would be impossible to go over every stride we have encountered, but here is a detailed list of stand outs: - Demands money left and right from aunt. Food, unnecessaries for the room, an insane amount of sweets, SO MUCH WEED, etc. - Took 6 months to get a job. Got one at month 4 but quit after first paycheck. Legit smoked weed and sucked dick in her room for Months on end. - We got a kitten soon before she moved in. Long story short she would steal it and put it in her room anytime she had the chance. Just started calling it her cat one day. We ended up giving it to her cuz she needs some form of healthy attachment. She refuses to do any chores revolving around the cat. Sometimes she will feed it, but she will bitch that I asked. - Massive temper tantrums. Criticism, fear of judgement, any advice that clashed with her worldview, getting take out without her, going to take out she didn’t want, going to grocery store without her, etc; all would result in scream cries. - In the entire time she’s been here I can count the amount of chores she has done in my hands. We had to stop asking because dealing with the attitude and crying wasn’t worth the shit job at the chores she would do. - Selfish af. Still to this day send massive lists for the grocery store just littered with expensive bullshit. (I started going grocery shopping on my own, because when GF and Niece went, the bill would be closer to 800 instead of 300) - She destroyed that bedroom, after she is gone we are gonna have to go through days of cleaning to get rid of the smell. Piles and piles of moldy fur covered dishes, She hauls them out late at night and blasts them with water; imagine waking up to the smell of hot mold and somehow a shit ton of dishes in your clean sink. She probably vacuumed twice in there, never has washed her sheets, got a dead gecko with a heat lamp i it’s corpse, mountains of garbage and half eaten food.
There are so many toxic and vile things she does and says. She has no idea how cruel, demanding, and selfish she can be.
That being said, she can be kind of she wants to. But she is also a fucking idiot with her money. Because she doesn’t have any bills or rent, this dumbass thinks she’s rich. Shes been trying to hide it from us, but she basically been giving her money away. Shes been helping her friend by financially supporting the friends kid. Buys takeout everyday for herself and friends, her vaping, her dabbing…. So much bullshit she buys for her friends.
Just to note, we have approached her about all of the things above and it results in a total meltdown. Im not this bitches father dude. In fact, she should be treating me like a saint, being willing to put up and pay for her ass so that she doesn’t end up homeless. I get fucking nothing but disrespect out of this ordeal and she couldnt give a shit.
Throughout the passed couple months she has been trying her best to drop subtle hints/allude to the fact/coax words out of our mouth; she wants to stay past the agreed date near the end of this month.
FUCK THAT.
We haven’t budged an inch; she found out she was going to be homeless if she didn’t do something.
Cue this random dirtbag.
This poor dummy looks around my age. He is always dirty looking, haven’t heard him speak much but the way he talks makes him sound uneducated as fuck. Niece is ecstatic with him because he is the first dude she has brought over who owns his own car and has a job.
The reason I call this guy a dirtbag is because from what I can see, he is just trying to get laid with some pussy that is way to young for him. I know Niece is a legal adult but idc dude, fuck someone your own age; thats creepy.
Anyway,
The other night im in the livingroom and I over hear Niece on the phone in her room. I couldn’t hear everything, but something todo about niece and pregnancy.
I didn’t look into it.
Flash forward talking with Gf. She tells me that Niece isn’t on BC, and that dirtbag has been coming over every night to fill the tank.
We think she is trying to get pregnant, so that she can force her way into dirtbags home.
Gf gave the classic objections when Niece told her these things but really guys… we don’t give a shit.
She is gone in almost two weeks, and I could give a fuck if she ends up pregnant and homeless… the way she has treated me, a person who welcomed a total stranger into their home, fed them, housed them…. Dude I’ll probably chuckle when I see the misspelled words on her sheet of cardboard.
I am predicting a drastic fall out. Im guessing a fake pregnancy, that results in dirtbag turning tail and running. Her plans of baby trapping will have failed and she will fall into misery. She will beg to stay and it’s not going to fucking happen.
Idk what advice I am looking for really. There is SO MUCH MORE to the story but idk the point in going over all of it.
I guess I dont love the idea of kicking her out to homelessness, but im at my end dude. She has caused so many problems for Gf’s and I’s relationship that it’s a miracle we haven’t started going after each other the way Niece comes at us.
Do I try to parent this Niece? Is it worth it, to suffer through her berating me and scream crying when I tell her how disgusting intentionally babytrapping some one is? Do I tell her that her requirements for baby daddy material are abysmal?
Or do I do nothing and live in peace?

I can follow a recipe easily and it will turn out great. My issue is that I can never remember the basics of cooking on my own.
An example would be if I’m cooking chicken on the stove top. I won’t remember if I am supposed to use butter or oil. I won’t remember what temperature I am supposed to cook it at (high/med/low). Same with the oven I will never remember what temperature to cook it at or how long it goes in for.
My mom is a really good cook and she knows this all of the top of her head. She will make basic recipes without needing to follow a recipe.
How do I get to the point of being able to memorize the basics and just cook? Even with rice I always have to look up how many cups water to how many cups of rice.
I sort of on and off cook. I will cook a lot for a week and the sorta start to remember but then I won’t cook for a bit and forget everything.
Thank you!

It’s still not easy. I’ve been craving painkillers, my original love, dilaudid, oxys, Roxy’s. I do not crave fentanyl. I wasn’t even getting high for the last year. I was just not getting sick, it basically felt like a mild head change and i was smoking San Francisco’s best fentanyl which is really nothing to brag about. I’ve heard to chemists are making the fentanyls withdrawals worse while making the actual high last way less time. That combo will fuck you up and keep you hooked, in pain, and feeling like you’re trapped in a jail cell with fetty tattooed on the top of your wrists. It’s like a demon that gets inside of you and starts controlling your thoughts, actions and morals. If weed killed my ambition when I was younger, then fentanyl has completely high jacked the drivers seat and changed who I was. I felt shame every time I used, along with relief. Only to be well for 3-4 hours before knowing if I don’t use again the back pain will be excruciating. By the end of my 8 hour work days I could barely stand. I work a job where I tell people on the streets to stop using drugs, so everyday I watch people on the brim of death, at the lowest low hitting rock bottom, and they usually look 25-50% worse as the months go by. This guy used to be walking around, now he had both legs ambulated. Theirs such a thing as a diminishing return. That’s fentanyl. What kind of drug is worth smoking that can kill you in one hit? I overdosed 4 times. Woke up in the hospital saved by an ambulance and luckily some crack head “friends” of mine. I have replaced my addiction with a strict diet, and ample exercise and strength training. Today I head back to work, on the 12th I head back to college. I’ve been back home for id day 3 nights? Which has been the only solace to me, weed, tv, comedy, my new speaker, music, and eating right/getting fit. Sorry for the long post, but it’s been impossible to get a therapist as they want me to have one that specializes in drug recovery. All the outpatient centers priotizes inpatient graduates first, so they are booked for two months as well. Basically I’ve spoken with over 25 people and they all say the same thing. Pat you on the, say good job, lyk that suboxone is an option and tell me they are booked for months and go figure this shit out yourself basically. What I’ve learned is if you don’t want sobriety from hard drugs 1000% no rehab, family love, signifier other or moving away will change you. You have to be ready to put the drugs on the shelf, lock the door and throw the key into the center of the earth. It’s going to get real very quickly. All that pleasure, sadness and emotional compartmentalization is going to bubble back up and explode like hot oil in you face and it’s going to fucking BURN. But your suffering will be rewarded with a happy life, a life you don’t have to be ashamed of. I’m still ashamed. But shame doesn’t get you anywhere. Check your self pity at the door. You can do this. I believe in you, friend. <3
Thank you for letting my air out my thoughts. I needed this today.

I started working for this single mom about 3 years ago. She has a little boy, 6M.
Less than a year ago she started dating this guy and things moved really fast (none of my business of course but for context purposes) and two weeks ago the three of them moved into together.
They moved further into the city that we’re from and next week I’m moving too, to a more rural area. I’ll be too far to work for them regularly so I gave her a heads up a few months ago.
Before they even moved to their new place there was an issue with food in the house. It’s not a money issue before anyone asks. Like there’s no snacks, frozen food, she only buys one or two boxes of Mac and cheese at a time. It’s really strange. I bring my own food and will bring extra just for him. It’s annoying but I really need the mom as a reference for when I graduate college and start teaching so I don’t say anything. I know he’s being fed they just eat out a lot. I did mention it to her in a fake oblivious way like “So what’s for dinner?”.
She’s said several times “Oh I need to go to the store bad”. Or she’ll suggest something that he doesn’t eat, like tomato soup. One time she told me to feed him freezer burnt ice cream as an after school snack. When she does buy food it’s not nutritious or filling for him. For example she bought rice Krispy treats in bulk and that was his ONLY snack for a month. Empty calories.
She doesn’t drive or have a car but her boyfriend does. Without fail every time I look in the fridge there’s a new case of beer for the bf. So he’s going to the store to get beer but not food for the child? It’s so bizarre.
So the day before yesterday I’m there for 3 hours and again, no food. He’s asking for snacks over and over. I tell him “Sorry sweetie there’s no snacks”. I did end up convincing him to eat an uncrustable (the only thing in freezer in which he does not like). Right before I left I gave him a bath because we had been at the pool. There’s no soap in his bathroom so I went to the master bath to grab soap.
Boyfriend got home and relieved me. The next day, my last day with them before I move, NK told me that the bf was mad about the soap and told NK “This is unreal” when he found the soap in the bathroom.
So apparently there is this built up resentment towards me when I’ve never heard a negative comment from MB ever. NK also has never said anything to the effect before. I barely know this man. And on top of that I am being wildly underpaid but I am in a atypical financial situation at this point in my life so I can afford the pay cut. The mom has acknowledged this and is grateful for it, I guess the boyfriend feels like I should be doing more (I don’t do household chores).
I called the mom and told her, she said “Oh no my bf would never get mad over something like that.” And I was like okay whatever. A few hours later NK asks for a snack, I said you’ll have to wait until mommy gets home. He said “Mommy’s bf was also mad that you never feed me. You could have fed me pasta (MB frequently suggests pasta but theres no sauce or butter in fridge)”.
I immediately called MB who was on her way home from work with bf. She denies it, gets home, makes all of these excuses like “I don’t want him eating too much, because he’s underweight so we’ve been feeding him vegetables and meat.” Mind you, there’s no vegetables or meat in the fridge just condiments. And this is the first time I’m hearing this. How is feeding him less going to help him gain weight? Sounds kind of made up?
I’m afraid she’s not going to pay me, she owes me for over 20 hours right now not to mention all of the food I’ve brought him from my own house. Clearly they think I’m in the wrong for being uncomfortable about the food situation to the point where it’s somehow being turned on me. Child services has been suggested to me but I don’t have any hard evidence anything is going on. NK has expressed to me that he’s fearful of the boyfriend but again no specifics that would be reportable. I’m done with nannying guys, done.

I’m so tired. This economy is killing me. Got a small raise, rent went up, utilities are astronomical, food prices - food prices are insane!! Even the food bank has a two week wait. Which honestly I’m extremely thankful for the food bank regardless how long it takes to get an appointment - I’ll happily wait. In the meantime, how do I feed my kids?
This is a for real question. I need advice. I don’t know what to do. They are young teens, my son eats like a horse, my daughter likes salads and veggies. I’m out of fresh food. I have two chicken breasts, 2 cups of rice, some pasta, one can of flaked chicken, canned beans, canned tomatoes, about 2L of milk, flour, sugar, half a loaf of bread, some oatmeal, canned veggies, vegetable oil and potatoes.
My plan for tonight is baked potatoes and the two chicken breasts I have. I’ve got $10 cash from selling a few things. Should I buy eggs with that? Any advice or ideas? I need to make it until the 20th. I’m planning to continue to sell things to buy a bit of food but it’s slow going. Come august I start a new contract and will be golden but until then I’m scrambling.
How do I stretch what I have and what do I buy to make it work?
Edited: a word, come always autocorrects to coke. Weird.

Wilugo awoke and looked around the Kikika [wigwam-like single family housing]. Dawn’s light was creeping in under the buckskin walls. The central fire had burned low, but was still smoldering. Her father was away on a fishing trip; her mother’s bed was empty. She had likely gone to attend to Eleda, the village Upa [tribal matriarch], who was recovering from an illness and wanted all the older women in the village to wait on her until she regained her strength. Wilugo’s sister Gilulo was sleeping next to her. She kicked at her sister to wake her up, then got up from the mat. As Gilulo blearily blinked her way to wakefulness, Wilugo put on her Zekizu [palm fiber loincloth] and grabbed some leftover Yatilu [maize flatbread] from a basket for breakfast. She and her sister ate, Wilugo humming a song thanking Tahado for the dawn, Gilulo babbling on about a dream she had had – something about being a goose? – then they did each other’s body paint and stepped out into the village.
The village of Hemeneng was full of women. None of the men had returned from their hunting, fishing, or gathering expeditions yet, so the only males present were young boys who had not yet gone on their Gomanggo [manhood ritual] and found a new tribe, elders too frail to travel anymore, and Eblazan. Eblazan had been cursed by the spirits with a malformed leg, and so was unable to journey into the wilderness like the other men, but had still gone on his Gomanggo and had survived, arriving at his new home of Hemeneng. Unsuited for physical pursuits, he had gained a knowledge of herblore, so that even if he couldn’t go out and gather medicines on his own he could use the herbs gathered by others. It was said by many of the women in the village that in payment for his leg, the spirits had given him insights into their world, which was how he was able to know things hidden from other humans. But despite any spiritual favors, no woman wanted to marry a crippled man, so he remained in the Kikika assigned to men with no family to take them in.
Turning her thoughts from Eblazan, Wilugo instead considered the day’s work. The planting had been done weeks ago, and the first green shoots were beginning to appear. But the squash had yet to cover the ground in her shady leaves, meaning that weeds were sprouting up just as fast. She hugged goodbye to Gilulo, whose hyper-focusing mind was not suited for farm work and instead preferred to weave palm fibers into fabrics, and set about her task. It was hot work, even this early in spring, and required a lot of bending over and standing up again. She sang a working song with the other women in the field to help the work go by faster. Still, she could feel the sun beating down on her back, and the strain in her legs got worse and worse as they day went on.
Taking a break near noon to snack on some smoked fish and pawpaw, she looked out over Hemeneng. From the farms, she could look down over the entire village and to the glittering sea beyond. There, on the beach, was the tiny figure of her sister and some of the other women gathering palm fronds. She kept a careful eye on Gilulo – the girl was always trying to sneak off into the wilderness like a man. She was truly wild, a real child of Tahado the Chaotic. She could see a lot of activity around the largest Kikika, the one belonging to Eleda, but she couldn’t tell from this distance if her mother was among the figures milling around it. She looked westward, past the row of Hihuwi [Aluwa orange] trees to the forest beyond. There was activity there, too. Had the hunters or gatherers returned? Or was a caravan of merchants on its way? She peered at the rustling trees, trying to make out details. They were not singing a song of homecoming, or of greeting to strangers. She saw sunlight glint off an axehead. Raiders!
She shouted out a warning to the women around her, then ran towards the village. Even as she ran, the raiders made their attack. Brandishing axes and atlatls, they stormed into the village, women running in fear before them. Men ducked into Kikikas and came out carrying baskets of food and valuables. So far none of them had actually attacked any of the inhabitants of Hemeneng, but Wilugo didn’t know how long that would last. The main force of the raiders approached Eleda’s Kikika, but here, for the first time, the women closed in ranks to protect it. Their Upa was in a delicate condition, and even if they didn’t attack her, the mere sight of such violent interlopers might frighten her to death. The raiders, though, would not back down. They wanted whatever treasures were hidden in the largest Kikika in the village.
Wilugo ran into the village and stopped abruptly. Nobody was moving. The men seemed unwilling to anger the spirits by killing anyone, but the women refused to let them past. Then, the women from the beach arrived. Leading the way was Gilulo, who was carrying a knife – Kuhugu the Preserver protect her, why was she carrying a knife? The foolish girl did not stop, but charged towards the raiders, waving her knife around like a madwoman. Most of the raiders retreated, but the largest of them swung his axe, hitting Gilulo with the flat of the blade in the arm. She cried out in pain, dropped her knife, and fell to the ground. The man raised his axe again.
Wilugo didn’t care that she was unarmed. She ran towards the raiders, willing to do anything to protect her sister. She just barely had time to feel stupid as she leapt forwards, certain that death was awaiting her in mere moments – but then the other women of the village cried out in a loud voice and rushed in behind her. They had no weapons, only household tools, but their numbers and the anger in their eyes were enough to send the raiders running. They drove the interlopers out of the village, shouting and clapping and stomping the ground. They broke into song – properly a song used when pounding Kohi [masa], but it worked as a song of victory, too. Wilugo was filled with fear and exhilaration, her chest heaving, when she remembered Gilulo. While the other women cheered by the edge of the forest, she turned and ran back to where her sister had fallen.
There she saw Gilulo, and also Eblazan. The spirit-touched man was cradling her arm, which looked broken. He commanded Wilugo to bring him certain herbs from his supplies, along with palm fiber and bark. She didn’t hesitate to comply, and as she watched, he mixed together a poultice, said a prayer to drive off infecting spirits, then slathered the poultice around the wound and wrapped her arm in a splint. Wilugo was amazed at how confident he was in his healing knowledge, and how tender yet strong his movements were in affixing the splint to her sister’s arm. Just then, her mother came running back, and she cradled Gilulo in her arms and sang a song of happiness that her daughters were still alive.
There was no more work that could be done that day. The villagers scrounged together what food was left to them and cooked up some Globiplo [cassava dumpling soup]. Wilugo considered the village lucky. Nobody had been killed, and only Gilulo – who was being treated as a wounded hero, waited on hand and foot by the other women – had been injured. Soon the men would be back with fish, meat, fruits, and nuts for them to eat. Really, they were very lucky that they lived on the coast and could rely so much on fish for their food. These last few years had been bad for crops, and now even the hunting was getting thin. That was why the raiding had started – many villages further inland just didn’t have enough to feed themselves. She scowled. These raids hadn’t been a problem when she was a little girl. Back then people from different villages were willing to help each other, and they hadn’t just taken what they needed. But then, back then there was enough food to go around – her belly was full now, but tonight’s Globiplo had used up all of the village’s remaining Kohita [cassava flour], and it could be days before any of the men returned.
As she lay down to sleep, Gilulo snoring beside her, she kept replaying the events of the day in her head. The terror of the raid, the exhilaration of the counterattack, the gentleness with which Eblazan had healed her sister… She smiled in the dark. Perhaps marrying a crippled man wasn’t such a bad prospect after all…

EPAZ AI Prediction Has Gained Interest from Native American Tribes After the RES 2023 Presentation in Las Vegas
On May 16th EPAZ announced its ZenaDrone 1000 has gained the interest of Native American tribes after the RES 2023 held in Las Vegas during April. EPAZ attended the trade show to share how the ZenaDrone 1000 can provide services for search and rescue, firefighting, cargo delivery, and land surveys.
EPAZ is scheduling demos for the U.S. Military, NATO partners, Irish farmers, the German police force, the German rail, and Native American tribes. The EPAZ ZenaDrone’s expanded facility will have the capacity to manufacture over 30 drones per month once the facility is fully in production. EPAZ will be shipping the production drones to customers around the world and hiring more staff to accommodate the increased demand.
EPAZ Filing a Series of AI Patents for Its Drone and Battery Technology
On May 9th EPAZ announced that the company is in the process of filing a series of artificial intelligence (AI) patents for its drone technology. EPAZ has already received two patents for its drone technology, and two other patents are under review with the US Patent Office. EPAZ has also filed for international patents.
EPAZ has developed a new process for increasing the flight time of its holdings, ZenaDrone 1000, which innovatively provide an opportunity to file for new patents. Furthermore, the process requires a custom battery management system that uses AI to monitor and analyze the fight characteristics of the ZenaDrone 1000.
ZenaDrone 1000 is a heavy lift drone requiring special configuration. EPAZ uses AI to track current flights and analyze previous flights to understand how to improve the drone's flight times.
The EPAZ ZenaDrone 1000 team will use predictive AI analytics and predictive modeling -- a type of analysis that employs methods and resources -- to create predictive models and forecast future outcomes based on acquired data. Predictive analytics refers to a method rather than a specific technology, and it uses techniques including machine learning algorithms, sophisticated mathematics, statistical modeling, descriptive analytics, and data mining. EPAZ will prioritize upgrading the ZenaDrone 1000's AI technology to increase its global reach across industries.
Low-Cost Augmented Reality Glasses for On-Site Remote Assist Product
On May 4th EPAZ announced that the company has developed low-cost Augmented Reality Smart Glasses call Stacklens. EPAZ Stacklens are durable and comfortable augmented reality glasses as well as smart glasses for its holdings in Tillerstack’s onsite remote-assisted product.
Stacklens will be under $400 per pair of glasses, while other competitors are selling their glasses for over $2,000 per pair. EPAZ decided to develop its own glasses because it caused sticker shock for customers and potential customers in Europe who wanted to use the technology and because the glasses sold by a third party cost too much. Now, with EPAZ Stacklens, these organizations will be able to use innovation technology at a low cost, allowing the company to win more deals.
On-site remote-assisted glasses can be used by technicians in the field to fix complex machines, such as HVAC, industrial machines, and water and waste pipes. Additionally, we have seen interest in using the technology for aircraft maintenance. EPAZ plans to continue to improve the technology for use with ZenaDrone 1000, a First-Person View Smart Glasses product with augmented reality technology.
EPAZ has submitted a proposal to the armed forces to use the technology in the field. The company has received feedback from the United States military about using First Person View Smart Glasses with ZenaDrone 1000.
Negotiating With Non-Dilutive Financer for Drone as a Service Operations for up to 100 Drones; Irish Government Minister Visited ZenaDrone’s Ireland Office
On May 2nd EPAZ announced that Ossian Smyth, minister of state at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform of Ireland, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform, and the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications, visited the EPAZ ZenaDrone offices in Dublin, Irelan. Also, EPAZ is negotiating with a financing institution for a deal to purchase up to 100 ZenaDrone 1000s for drone as a service operations in Ireland.
The non-dilutive financing terms would receive a purchase order for up to 100 drones. These EPAZ drones will be used in Ireland for establishing drones as a service operation. ZenaDrone will manage and service these drones for Irish farmers, businesses and government agencies.
Minister Smyth had the opportunity to see a ZenaDrone 1000 and meet EPAZ Irish team to discuss how ZenaDrone can greatly affect the lives of Irish farmers, businesses and government agencies. If ZenaDrone closes on the financing deal, Irish farmers will have access to advanced precision agriculture drones for monitoring plant health and spraying weeds.
EPAZ ZenaDrone 1000 Displayed at 2023 AERO in Germany Leads to Multiple Demonstrations with NATO Partner Countries Defense and German Law Enforcement and Rail Line
On April 26th EPAZ announced that the ZenaDrone 1000 was showcased at the AERO General Aviation Convention in Friedrichshafen, Germany, on April 19-22nd. This showcase has led to multiple demonstrations scheduled with NATO partner countries, multiple law enforcement departments, and a large rail line in Germany.
The EPAZ team at ZenaDrone Germany had a successful debut at Aero, meeting with top organizations to discuss how ZenaDrone 1000 technology can solve their problems with inspections of railways, reducing the use of helicopters and providing critical support to NATO troops. ZenaDrone met with German UAV regulators about setting up beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations in Germany. EPAZ ZenaDrone is already ahead of the game by applying beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations in Ireland, which uses the standards of the European Union via the European Union Aviation Safety Agency. Once EPAZ ZenaDrone receives final approval for beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations in Ireland, ZenaDrone will receive approval in Germany within 10 business days. In the meantime, flight demonstrations will be held in Northern Germany to allow personnel to fly the drone themselves and understand how it fits within their operations.
New Method of Transporting Lifesaving Blood for Military Troops in the Field Using ZenaDrone 1000; Will be Tested with the US Air Force Overseas
On April 24th EPAZ announced that the company is developing a new container to provide data for the military to transport blood to troops in the field. The container will ensure the blood is safely transported and will transmit all information regarding how the blood was used.
EPAZ ZenaDrone has been invited to work with the U.S. Air Force at an overseas base to test the ZenaDrone 1000 platform under battlefield conditions. In addition, the U.S. Marine Corps is interested in using ZenaDrone 1000 in its real-life situations.

The proposal was a nothing-burger and not thought-out. He did it on a dirty sidewalk along a busy street on the way to a restaurant I don’t even like and didn’t say anything meaningful. Talking about the wedding with him has been like pulling teeth. He’s been difficult and blaming me and my parents for too much pressure and even called my parents tacky despite them offering to pay for a nice wedding for us. I wanted an engagement of a year or less and he says that’s rushed and unreasonable. We’ve been together 5+ years so it’s not like we need to get to know each other better. We’ve been engaged now for 5 months and have no wedding plans. To top it off he’s been smoking weed daily and got drunk and embarrassed me in front of friends and then sent me breakup texts while banging on my door screaming at me to open up while also cursing out my family and telling me he hates them. He is apologetic for his drunken behavior and takes back the words he said about my family. I’m miserable and hate how he’s treated me over the past several months. But he has quit weed and drinking and is committed to changing. I’m having a hard time rebuilding that trust and letting go of resentment. I don’t think this is normal behavior during an engagement. Any thoughts or advice?

Must have, high sides(french whatever), NO mote of oil. I have an electric burner.

Karma, Coincidence, or Penitence: Abortion, a Man’s Story
June 5, 2023
Around April or May 1973 I had intimate relations with a girlfriend in college in the last days of our relationship. I was a confused young man and didn’t know what to think of our relationship—I assumed it was over. I was graduating that May and my ex-girlfriend had two years to go. I had also contracted hepatitis A and felt awful. I was told by my Doc that I probably contracted the virus from contaminated food; who can say for sure but it didn’t come from my ex-girlfriend (she never had the disease.) Not knowing what to do I moved back to my parents’ home to be treated and rest; it was the year of the 1973 oil embargo. My ex-girlfriend had become pregnant sometime in late May to the dismay of both of us. She called me with this information and I took no responsibility other than sending her $100. I never called to check on her emotional state or anything. At the time, I thought a woman just gets an abortion and has a procedure like a person gets their ear’s flushed—something like that. Frankly I did not think about nor reflect of the ramifications of an abortion on an unborn soul or on the woman at all, other than it was an inconvenience.
In 1977, I met my next girlfriend, whom I moved in with. After a few months she got pregnant. I thought she was on birth control pills but I didn’t really pay that much attention. I didn’t think I was ready to be a parent, being a musician who traveled, but to be honest, I didn’t want the responsibility and didn’t think I was mature enough to be a parent. At the least, I did go to the clinic with her. No one at the clinic talked to us about how an actual abortion procedure worked: no images of the fetus; no counseling on alternatives—nothing. After 2 or three years in this relationship, she got pregnant again. This time I don’t remember going to the clinic to be with her. I might have been on the road, but I think we’d recently broken up, it’s been a long time ago. Not even remembering says a lot about me.
The cultural climate of the 1970s was that abortion was just another type of birth control. I was of the opinion that life started after a birth—anyway that’s the way I thought about it at the time. I knew my parents tried to have me for years before my Mom got pregnant. I always and still do feel like I was wanted and that’s how I wanted to have children. On my Dad’s side there was a lot of dysfunction and plain meanness and I knew that there was an element in me that would rear its’ head occasionally. I desperately wanted to have children but on my terms when I thought I was most ready to break the cycle of dysfunction with a flourishing career and with a loving wife.
So at 36 years old, I married the lady of my dreams and looked forward to having a solid home life, a burgeoning career as a musician, and independent record label owner. At this time, we embarked on consciously bringing children into the world. After two years, my wife developed pelvic inflammatory disease and had to a have an emergency surgery which resulted in one ovary and fallopian tube removed. My wife had terrible pain after the surgery and it was discovered soon after the surgery that she had massive amounts of scar tissue and it was strangling internal organs. We then found a surgeon in Los Angeles who was skilled in removing scar tissue in this area of the body. During the surgery, the Doc informed us that the one remaining fallopian tube that normally and necessarily has undulating fingers had been cut off. We were not informed of this by the first surgeon, who by this time left the country and relocated in Mexico. The Doc made tiny slices in the end of the fallopian tube hoping that it could allow the end of the fallopian tube to move and capture an egg. My wife and I then went to a fertility doctor for 3-4 years (the length of time is hazy but I believe it was that long.) We tried everything short of buying eggs. Before we went down the road of fertility enhancement, the Doc required us to get counseling in regards to fertility treatment. We were informed that couples that don’t get pregnant after lengthy efforts have a 70 – 90 % chance of divorcing from the stress and trauma. I’ll never forget that moment; we looked at each other and said that was nonsense. Well, it did happen to us. On Thanksgiving Day, I believe 1997, she asked me for a divorce. I knew it was coming. I was broken and wanted to separate in order to regroup but she was ready to part ways completely. I was shocked to my core.
For the last 20 years I have been haunted by my actions in regard to abortion and how life turned out for my girlfriends, my wife, and me. Needless to say, I never had children. I was totally selfish, ignorant, and arrogant as a young man. I am so, so sorry for my actions and guilty of not fighting for those souls. I don’t say this because I didn’t have children but because as someone who thinks of himself as caring, compassionate, and intelligent, I didn’t engage any of those qualities when I participated in those pregnancies. I have asked for forgiveness from both ladies, God, the unborn little people, and myself for years, but to be honest, I don’t feel it in the depths of my soul. Both ladies who I had the abortions with were not able to have children later in their lives. I take responsibility for those disastrous decisions. The pregnancies started from me, no matter what excuses I might have expressed at the time. As for my ex-wife that I wanted to have children with, I can only wonder if my previous actions brought suffering and loss to her.
This wasn’t my fate, but a result of the choices I made in my youth. I took the easy way out, or so I thought regarding abortion. But what I’ve learned through all this is that the pain and inconvenience of discipline is nothing compared to the pain of regret.
As of June 13th, 2022 I was diagnosed with 4th stage prostate cancer. I’ve gone through chemo, currently radiation, and hormone therapy. I won’t go into the specifics what happens to a man during this process. Google it up if you’re interested.
I am eternally sorry for my actions; they will reverberate in me until my last breath. So, is it “Karma, Coincidence, or Penitence?” I believe it’s penitence. If my story helps one person to reconsider abortion; then I’ve done something good. Please, think deeply about what your CHOICES will mean to yourself and others now and in the unknown future. I wish no one ill will regarding this subject, it’s just my story.

I made basmati rice using 2 cups of water for 1.5 cups of rice.
I toasted the rice with a little bit of evoo then I added the water and had it on medium-high for about 3 mins. Then, I put a lid on it and cooked it on low for 15 minutes. When I stirred the rice I noticed that the rice had stuck to the bottom of the pan and was crunchy. The rice itself also didn’t look appetizing, it was grainy looking, not sure how to describe it.
My mom said I didn’t use enough oil when toasting the rice and cooked it too long. Is that accurate or is there another reason why this happened?
