A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Tracking efforts to advance the mission and concept of "clinical research as a care option." Around this time in 2015, I had the pleasure of enjoying lunch with a special friend, Jennifer Byrne, current CEO and founder of Javara. It was at this lunch that Byrne and I discussed how important clinical trials were to us both—personally and professionally.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

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.

Opinion: Stop Stereotyping Bad Teeth as a Sign of Drug Addiction

School students need to learn mathematics, but it is not necessarily an easy subject to teach. The following strategies can be employed in teaching mathematics:. Explicit instruction clearly and directly tells students what they need to do and how to do it in an organized manner. This process involves guiding students by asking relevant questions, the teacher solving sample problems, and having students attempt to solve problems on their own. Students then work independently, check their answers, and review difficult problems.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter.

According to the nonprofit rescue organization, Blazer has had quite a journey. “Blazer was one of 7 dogs ‘saved’ by another rescue down in Texas and when he was just a young puppy.

Technology is very important in the modern world, especially in academic matters. Books, papers, reports, and manuscripts are not the only rewards of laptops; laptops are much more than the devices used by students to type their papers; laptops are links to a world of information and knowledge, to a world of opportunities and growth, and to a world of connection and interaction. However, a number of students cannot even afford a laptop, which can hamper their studies a lot. There are some programs and scholarships that exist that give away free laptops to students. This guest post is going to shed light on these programs, how to enroll in them, and the necessity of a laptop.
