An opinion piece appearing in the Journal of the American Medical Association, or JAMA this week illustrates why the drug problem among people experiencing homelessness in Denver may be so severe. It's because many homeless people aren't addicted to just one drug, but two, according to the viewpoint's author, Benjamin A. Howell of Yale School of Medicine and colleagues.

Americans buy 44% of the Audi Q5s sold around the world annually. Europe buys another 35%. When two similar markets vote for your best-seller in those kinds of numbers, the key is to provide them better versions of what they want. So when we say the Audi Q5 is all-new, we mean Audi brought together all-new ingredients to improve the old recipe. That starts with the Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) architecture Audi developed, a further iteration of the MLB Evo platform the second-gen Q5 sat on, renamed to complement the Premium Platform Electric used by the new A6 E-Tron. Audi didn't provide dimensions, so we don't expect any changes of note to the vehicle footprint or interior room.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.
