										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Russ Lewis has picked up some strange things along the coast of Long Beach Peninsula in Washington state over the years: Hot Wheels bicycle helmets with feather tufts, life-size plastic turkey decoys made for hunters, colorful squirt guns.</p>
<p>And Crocs — so many mismatched Crocs.</p>
<p>If you find a single Croc shoe, you might think somebody lost it out on the beach, he said. “But, if you find two, three, four and they’re different — you know, one’s a big one, one’s a little one — that’s a clue.”</p>
<p>These items aren’t like the used fishing gear and beer cans that Lewis also finds tossed overboard by fishers or partygoers. They’re <span class="LinkEnhancement">the detritus of commercial shipping containers</span> lost in the open ocean.</p>
<p>Most of the world’s raw materials and everyday goods that are moved over long distances — from T-shirts to televisions, cellphones to hospital beds — are packed in large metal boxes the size of tractor-trailers and stacked on ships. A trade group says some 250 million containers cross the oceans every year — but not everything arrives as planned.</p>
<p>More than 20,000 shipping containers have tumbled overboard in the last decade and a half. Their varied contents have washed onto shorelines, poisoned fisheries and animal habitats, and added to swirling ocean trash vortexes. Most containers eventually sink to the sea floor and are never retrieved.</p>
<p>Cargo ships can lose anywhere from a single container to hundreds at a time in rough seas. Experts disagree on how many are lost each year. The World Shipping Council, an industry group, reports that, on average, about 1,500 were lost annually over the 16 years they’ve tracked — though fewer in recent years. Others say the real number is much higher, as the shipping council data doesn’t include the entire industry and there are no penalties for failing to report losses publicly.</p>
<p>Much of the debris that washed up on Lewis’ beach matched items lost off the giant cargo ship ONE Apus in November 2020. When the ship hit heavy swells on a voyage from China to California, nearly 2,000 containers slid into the Pacific.</p>

<p>Court documents and industry reports show the vessel was carrying more than $100,000 worth of bicycle helmets and thousands of cartons of Crocs, as well as electronics and other more hazardous goods: batteries, ethanol and 54 containers of fireworks.</p>
<p>Researchers mapped the flow of debris to several Pacific coastlines thousands of miles apart, including Lewis’ beach and the remote Midway Atoll, a national wildlife refuge for millions of seabirds near the Hawaiian Islands that also received a flood of mismatched Crocs.</p>
<p>Scientists and environmental advocates say more should be done to track losses and prevent container spills.</p>

<p>“Just because it may seem ‘out of sight, out of mind,’ doesn’t mean there aren’t vast environmental consequences,” said marine biologist Andrew DeVogelaere of California’s Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, who has spent more than 15 years studying the environmental impact of a single container that was found in sanctuary waters.</p>
<p>“We are leaving time capsules on the bottom of the sea of everything we buy and sell — sitting down there for maybe hundreds of years,” he said.</p>
<h2>Nitric acid, plastic pellets and baby seals</h2>
<p>This year’s summer winds washed thousands of plastic pellets ashore near Colombo, Sri Lanka, three years after a <span class="LinkEnhancement">massive fire</span> aboard the X-Press Pearl burned for days and sank the vessel a few miles offshore.</p>
<p>The disaster dumped more than 1,400 damaged shipping containers into the sea — releasing billions of plastic manufacturing pellets known as nurdles as well as thousands of tons of <span class="LinkEnhancement">nitric acid, lead, methanol and sodium hydroxide</span>, all toxic to marine life.</p>
<p>Hemantha Withanage remembers how the beach near his home smelled of burnt chemicals. Volunteers soon collected thousands of dead fish, gills stuffed with chemical-laced plastic, and nearly <span class="LinkEnhancement">400 dead endangered sea turtles</span>, more than 40 dolphins and six whales, their mouths jammed with plastic. “It was like a war zone,” he said.</p>
<p>Cleanup crews wearing full-body hazmat suits strode into the tide with hand sieves to try to collect the lentil-size plastic pellets.</p>
<p>The waterfront was closed to commercial fishing for three months, and the 12,000 <span class="LinkEnhancement">families that depend on fishing</span> for their income have only gotten a fraction of the $72 million that Withanage, founder of Sri Lanka’s nonprofit Centre for Environmental Justice, believes they are owed.</p>
<p>“Just last week, there was a huge wind, and all the beaches were full of plastic again,” he said in mid-June.</p>
<p>Lost container contents don’t have to be toxic to wreak havoc.</p>

<p>In February, the cargo ship President Eisenhower lost 24 containers off the central California coast. Some held bales of soon-waterlogged cotton and burst open. Debris washed ashore near Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, a federally protected area.</p>
<p>The ship’s captain informed the U.S. Coast Guard, which worked with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and California State Parks to remove the debris. Each bale was too heavy to drag away — instead they had to be cut up, each filling two dump trucks.</p>
<p>“A rancid soggy mess,” said Eric Hjelstrom, a chief ranger for California State Parks. “If tidal pools get filled with cotton, that can block out sunlight and harm a lot of organisms.”</p>
<p>One bale landed in an elephant seal nursery, surrounded by baby seals. “You have to be careful how to approach it – you don’t want to injure the seals,” Hjelstrom said. A marine mammal specialist gently escorted 10 pups away before the bale was removed.</p>
<p>Although the operators of the President Eisenhower helped pay for cleanup, neither California nor federal authorities have ordered the company to pay any penalties.</p>
<p>As for the metal shipping containers, only one was spotted on a U.S. Coast Guard overflight, and it had vanished from sight by the time a tugboat was sent to retrieve it, said Coast Guard Lt. Chris Payne in San Francisco.</p>
<p>When shipping containers are lost overboard, “Most of them sink. And a lot of times, they’re just in really deep water,” said Jason Rolfe of NOAA’s Marine Debris Program.</p>
<p>Most sunken containers — some still sealed, some damaged and open — are never found or recovered.</p>
<p>The Coast Guard has limited powers to compel shipowners to retrieve containers unless they threaten a marine sanctuary or contain oil or designated hazardous materials. “If it’s outside our jurisdiction,” said Payne, “there’s nothing that we can do as the federal government to basically require a company to retrieve a container.”</p>
<p>The long-term impact of adding on average more than a thousand containers each year to the world’s oceans — by the most conservative estimates — remains unknown.</p>
<p>Scientists at Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in California are studying the <span class="LinkEnhancement">cascade of changes</span> wrought by a single container found by chance on the seabed.</p>
<p>Their research team was operating a remote-control vehicle at 4,200 feet (1,280 meters) below the surface to study deep-sea corals in 2004 when they were surprised to encounter a metal box. “It’s just serendipity that we found it,” said marine ecologist Jim Barry. Despite multiple spills in nearby shipping lanes, “It’s the only container that we know exactly where it landed.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="my-4" href="https://salanumber2.com/click"><img decoding="async" class="img-fluid mb-4" src="https://statimage.com/prelanders/images/feethealth/insole-hero7.jpg?v=5" alt="image" width="100%" /></a></p>
<p>My doctor assured me there was nothing he could do for my neuropathy. He offered little hope for relief, essentially suggesting I adapt to chronic pain.</p>
<p><strong>He just kept prescribing me a bunch of painkillers.</strong></p>
<p>I couldn’t believe that in today’s day and age – with all the technological advancements – there wasn’t a way to finally eliminate the burning and tingling in my feet.</p>
<p>So, I took matters into my own hands and began searching for an alternative solution.</p>
<p>Thankfully, my search led me to someone promising.</p>
<p>He was an expert on neuropathy that my neighbor and good friend recommended.</p>
<p><strong>Intrigued by his promise, I scheduled an online consultation. After a brief introduction, he launched into an explanation of the underlying cause of my neuropathy.</strong></p>
<p>The first words out of his mouth stunned me:</p>
<h2><em>“The condition of your nerves requires immediate attention.”</em></h2>
<div class="text-center mb-4"><a class="d-block text-center mt-4" href="https://salanumber2.com/click"><img decoding="async" class="image-100" src="https://statimage.com/prelanders/images/feethealth/insole-hero2.webp" alt="image" /></a></div>
<p>It turns out that, just like every other cell in our body, the <strong>nerve cells in our feet need an ongoing oxygen supply to function effectively.</strong></p>
<p>We breathe in oxygen, and it travels from the lungs to the heart, where it hitches a ride on red blood cells to reach all corners of the body.</p>
<p><u>This system works perfectly until we get older.</u></p>
<p>That’s because normal aging causes a reduction in total body water – which results in less fluid in the bloodstream and lower blood volume.</p>
<p><strong>The less blood there is in the body, the harder it becomes for the heart to deliver enough oxygen to the cells. This can cause problems, especially for the nerves in your arms, legs, and feet.</strong></p>
<p>This gets even WORSE if you are a diabetic because excess blood sugar decreases the elasticity of blood vessels and causes them to narrow.</p>
<p>…Which further impedes blood flow.</p>
<p><u>This starves nerves of oxygen, causing burning pain, tingling, and numbness.</u></p>
<div class="text-center mb-4"><a class="d-block text-center mt-4" href="https://salanumber2.com/click"><img decoding="async" class="image-100" src="https://statimage.com/prelanders/images/feethealth/insole-hero3.webp" alt="image" /></a></div>
<p>When the nerves in your feet don&#8217;t get enough oxygen from the blood, they can&#8217;t function properly, resulting in pain and numbness.</p>
<h2>The nerve cells in your feet are literally suffocating. Painkillers are not helping!</h2>
<div class="text-center mb-4"></div>
<p>Certain prescription medications might help with the pain of your neuropathy, but they&#8217;re not addressing the root cause.</p>
<p><strong>Here’s why:</strong> Medications do nothing to prevent the death of your nerve cells, they merely dull the pain.</p>
<p>As the expert on neuropathy explained…</p>
<p>It’s like if your car was making a lot of squeaky noises because you are out of oil – and you just turned up the speakers so you don’t hear it.</p>
<p>All you are doing is ignoring the true issue at hand.</p>
<p>Pain and tingling are warning signs your body is sending you…</p>
<p>&#8230;Before it&#8217;s too late, you should stop neglecting them!</p>
<h2>Pain and tingling can actually mean good news!</h2>
<div class="text-center mb-4"><a class="d-block text-center mt-4" href="https://salanumber2.com/click"><img decoding="async" class="image-100" src="https://statimage.com/prelanders/images/feethealth/insole-hero4.webp" alt="image" /></a></div>
<p>As they shrivel, nerve cells cause burning and tingling. And when they die, they simply become numb.</p>
<p><strong>So if you are still feeling burning and tingling, it means that some of your cells are still alive.</strong></p>
<p>Why does this matter?</p>
<p>Well, the National Institute of Health states:</p>
<blockquote><p> As long as the underlying nerve cell is still alive, peripheral nerves can regenerate.</p></blockquote>
<p>So you may still be able to alleviate the symptoms of neuropathy, as long as your nerves are not dead!</p>
<h2>There’s ONE way to reverse neuropathy</h2>
<p><strong><u>The key is to increase blood flow in the feet.</u></strong></p>
<p>Delivering more oxygen to your nerve cells can significantly improve the symptoms of neuropathy…</p>
<p><strong>But how do you do it?</strong></p>
<p>Traditional medicine might suggest increasing circulation through exercise.</p>
<p>But exercise can be tough when you&#8217;re in pain.</p>
<p>So&#8230; what&#8217;s the answer?</p>
<h2>That&#8217;s when I first heard about this innovative solution – reflexology shoe insoles!</h2>
<p>Akusoli, a small startup launched in 2023, uses cutting-edge technology to address foot pain caused by neuropathy.</p>
<p>This technology combines strategically placed <strong>magnets and cushioning</strong> in key areas of the foot. The magnets provide gentle stimulation deep into the tissues of your feet, reflecting principles of reflexology (targeted massage), while the cushioning supports and relieves pressure on your foot muscles.</p>
<p>This innovative design helps maintain proper foot and body posture, meaning <strong>you can stay on your feet longer before tiring.</strong></p>
<p>This helps you move more, and through increased movem, you can<strong> improve blood circulation and promote the vital flow of oxygen</strong> to your nerves.</p>
<p>With increased oxygen reaching your nerves, they can begin to <strong>repair and heal</strong>, ultimately reducing the burning pain, tingling, and numbness associated with neuropathy.</p>
<h2>It’s not an overstatement to say that Akusoli saved my life</h2>
<p>Akusoli empowered me to get back to my life, free from the limitations of constant foot pain and swelling&#8230;</p>
<div class="text-center mb-4"></div>
<p>After just two weeks of using Akusoli insoles, my neuropathic pain started to improve and the tingling sensation that had bothered me for years began to fade.</p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t believe it! <strong><u>Finally, after so much suffering, I was finding relief.</u></strong></p>
<p>Today, I am able to stand for extended periods of time, walk without as much difficulty, and even sleep through the night without experiencing terrible pain. I&#8217;m also much more relaxed throughout the day, likely because of the reflexology benefits.</p>
<p>And I can&#8217;t wait to make up for all the time I lost laying in bed or dreading to move.</p>
<h2>Here’s how it works</h2>
<p>The best part about Akusoli Insoles is that they’re so <strong>simple to use.</strong>.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>TRIM TO SIZE</strong>. When you receive your insoles, simply stand on them to trace your foot, then crop the large or medium size to the size you need based on the tracing..</li>
<li><strong>PLACE IN SHOES</strong>. Put them into your shoes with the magnetic points facing upwards.</li>
<li><strong>WEAR DAILY</strong>. You can wear your insoles in any shoe, sneaker or boot. For best results, wear them regularly. That&#8217;s it!</li>
</ul>
<div class="blue-box">
<p>Akusoli insoles might feel a bit strange at first, but most <strong>people report they get used to them in about 15 minutes</strong>. If you feel discomfort, at first use insoles for a few hours per day, after several days you can wear them constantly.</p>
<p>Remember, it&#8217;s encouraged to wear them through the day. The breathable build, moisture wicking technology, and anti-bacterial properties will help make sure your feet feel fresh.</p>
</div>
<p>I was a bit worried about wearing them every day, but another great feature is the temperature-regulating material used in these insoles.</p>
<p>They&#8217;re made from genuine suede together with a breathable build, moisture wicking technology and anti-mildew components, which help keep your feet cool, reduce sweating and unpleasant odors. I got several pairs anyway, so that I can wear them at home and at work.</p>
<h2>Thousands of people were able to reverse neuropathy with Akusoli</h2>
<p>If you check out Akusoli&#8217;s website, you&#8217;ll find thousands of reviews from people just like you who experienced positive results in managing their neuropathy with Akusoli insoles.</p>
<div class="text-center mb-4"></div>
<h2>Where can you get these insoles?</h2>
<p>Click the green button below. You will be redirected to the official website of Akusoli, where there is a one-time special offer (up to 70% OFF) on your first purchase! Your discount code will be automatically applied when you click the button.</p>
<p><strong>Looking for a bigger discount? Buy multiple pairs and save even more!</strong></p>
<p>Akusoli saves a lot on shipping when they pack multiple products into one box, and they are happy to share those savings with you.</p>
<p>So if you know someone who could benefit from Akusoli insoles – whether it&#8217;s a friend, family member, or coworker&#8230; then you should order several pairs, some for them and some for yourself.</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have stained or chipped teeth, you might be considering veneers, customized teeth coverings that can restore a photogenic smile without more extensive dental work.</p>
<p>But <span class="LinkEnhancement">dentists warn</span> that these pricey cosmetic enhancements are at the center of a worrisome online trend: unlicensed practitioners without proper training or supervision offering low-cost veneers.</p>
<p>These self-described “veneer techs” often promote themselves on Instagram and TikTok, promising a full set of veneers for less than half of what dentists typically charge. Some also market their own training courses and certifications for people looking to get into the business.</p>
<p>It’s misleading, health professionals warn — and illegal. All states require dental work, including veneers, to be performed under the supervision of a licensed dentist.</p>
<p>On Thursday, Georgia law enforcement officials arrested Brandon Diller, who promoted himself to 158,000 Instagram followers as “Atlanta’s top veneer specialist and trainer.” <span class="LinkEnhancement">Diller practiced dentistry without a license</span> and sold “training and certificates, which were worthless” and “provided no legitimate or legal credentials,” according to an arrest warrant from Fulton County’s District Attorney’s office.</p>
<h2>What are dental veneers?</h2>
<p>Veneers are thin, custom-made dental coverings used to hide minor imperfections or to fill in gaps between teeth. Unlike crowns or more invasive dental implants, veneers are almost always considered cosmetic dentistry and generally aren’t covered by insurance.</p>
<p>Dentists usually charge between $1,000 and $2,000 per tooth for veneers, with higher prices for those made from porcelain compared with lower-grade materials.</p>
<p>Placing veneers involves stripping some of the natural enamel from the tooth and bonding the new covering into place. Because of that process, getting veneers is considered an irreversible procedure, according to the American Dental Association. They are not permanent, and can be expected to last between 5 to 15 years before they degrade and need to be replaced.</p>
<p>In recent months the ADA has been <span class="LinkEnhancement">stepping up warnings</span> about the risks of veneer procedures done by unlicensed individuals.</p>
<p>“Quality control is lost without the involvement of a licensed dentist,” said Dr. Ada Cooper, a New York-based dentist and ADA spokesperson. “We undergo years of education and training and need to be licensed by various regulatory bodies before we can practice.”</p>
<h2>What are the risks of getting veneers from someone who isn’t licensed?</h2>
<p>Improper veneer procedures can cause a range of health problems, including severe pain, nerve damage and tooth loss.</p>
<p>Patients need to be anesthetized before the enamel is removed from their teeth.</p>
<p>“It could be incredibly painful if they’re not anesthetized correctly,” said Dr. Zach Truman, who runs an orthodontics practice in Las Vegas. “You can also go too deep into the tooth and penetrate what’s called the pulp chamber, which contains blood vessels and nerves.”</p>
<p>One of the biggest problems Truman sees with unregulated veneer work is that customers aren’t getting screened for existing dental problems, such as gum disease and cavities.</p>
<div class="SovrnAd Advertisement sovrn-story-feed proper-dynamic-insertion" data-module="" data-class="sovrn-story-feed" data-delayadinsertion="" data-ad-position="5">
<p>“If you put a veneer on a tooth that has an active cavity, you’re just going to seal it in there and eventually it’s going to progress to tooth loss,” Truman said.</p>
<p>Dental veneers aren’t the only option for improving the appearance of teeth. Over-the-counter whitening kits can help with minor stains and discoloration. And dentists can sometimes use composite materials to reshape chipped or uneven teeth. But Truman says those fillings are prone to crack and won’t last as long as veneers.</p>
<h2>How can I spot bogus veneer providers online?</h2>
<p>One clue: Many individuals performing unlicensed dental work promote themselves on social media as “veneer technicians.”</p>
<p>Instead of working out of a dental office they often perform treatments at beauty salons, hotel rooms or private homes. Some advertise multi-city tours and encourage clients to message them to book an appointment in advance.</p>
<p>Much of the appeal of the services is in their pricing, with some offering a full set of veneers for a flat fee of $4,000 or $5,000. That’s less than half of what patients can generally expect to pay at a dental office.</p>
<p>Performing dental work without an appropriate license is illegal, the ADA notes.</p>
<p>Dentists and hygienists are licensed by state governments, who also define the work dental assistants can perform. But in all cases, veneers and other dental procedures must be supervised by a licensed dentist.</p>
<p>Earlier this year, Illinois law enforcement officials <span class="LinkEnhancement">arrested a woman</span> running a business called the Veneer Experts after she posted videos of herself fitting braces, veneers and other dental products without a license. She was previously arrested in Nevada on similar allegations of practicing dentistry without a license.</p>
