Drivers Caught in 50-Lane Toll Road Jam
BEIJING, Oct. 9 (UPI) -- Drone footage from a Chinese toll road near Hong Kong shows thousands of cars at a standstill in a traffic jam spanning the 50-lane road.
The drone-captures-insane-gridlock-on-50-lane-chinese-motorway#nf" target="_blank">footage, recorded Monday near the Hong Kong border on the G4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway, shows thousands of vehicles stopped on the road amid a traffic jam branded "carpocalypse" and "carmageddon" online.
China's {link:state-run Xinhua news agency said:"http://news.xinhuanet.com/local/2015-10/07/c_128292920_2.htm" target="_blank"} the traffic jam resulted from a combination of tourists returning from their Oct. 1-7 Golden Week vacations, foggy conditions and the road's 50 lanes being bottle-necked to 20 by a new checkpoint.
An estimated 750 million Chinese citizens were expected to use the country's roadways for Golden Week Travel, the country's National Tourism Administration said.

Woman Glues Eyes Shut
LANTANA, Fla., Oct. 9 (UPI) -- A Florida woman said she mistook super glue for eye drops and ended up with her eye glued shut for several days.
Katherine Gaydos said her ordeal began last week when a piece of debris flew into her eye while a friend was using a leaf blower.
"Something blew into my eye and I screamed for someone else to get eye drops out of my purse and they brought super glue," she told WPBF-TV. "As soon as I felt it in my eye I felt it burn and I closed my eye and screamed 'Call 911.'"
Gaydos said her doctor gave her antibiotic salve and ointment, but refused to attempt to open her eye or give further treatment unless she made a payment.
"He was talking about doing surgery to try and save my eye, but now I don't know what to do -- I don't have a job, no insurance or any money," Gaydos said.
Gaydos said another doctor contacted her after the initial WPBF-TV report aired Wednesday and was able to pry her eye open.
"It was the same office, but a different doctor," Gaydos said. "He put Lidocaine above and below my eye and just pulled on it until it finally opened."
Gaydos said the second doctor told her to return Friday to remove the rest of the glue from her cornea. She said the doctor did not ask her for payment.
"He said I should get my sight back, and not have permanent damage," Gaydos said.
Dr. Pankaj Gupta, assistant professor of ophthalmology at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, said the situation would have resolved itself over time if Gaydos had not received treatment.
"The first thing I think everyone needs to know is don't panic," Gupta told ABC News.
"There is not a single thing that is permanent that will not slough off on its own," he said. "In time it will go away."

Create your own personal pension? It's possible
(BPT) - Retirement planning has certainly changed a lot over the years, hasn't it? First came pensions, or defined benefit plans, with their guaranteed income for life. After that it was 401(k)s. These plans focused on growing wealth from the stock and bond markets. Your pension and 401(k) were meant to work together but now pensions are disappearing and many people are left with just their 401(k) plan.
Your 401(k) is an important piece of your retirement savings but it was never intended to be your sole retirement solution. Instead, your 401(k) was meant to provide additional retirement savings that worked with your pension, savings and other income sources to paint a full retirement picture. But now for many people the pensions are gone and while you have other savings avenues - what can you do to replace this lost retirement income?
One option could be a deferred income annuity (DIA). A DIA allows you to set up a guaranteed income stream beginning later in your life. With a DIA it's important to remember that the guaranteed income is based on the strength and claims paying ability of your financial institution so it's important to choose the right partner. DIA's are traditionally funded with a lump sum payment up front and the contract promises to pay you a lifetime income stream starting with a date of your choice.
For example, let's say you purchased a DIA with a $50,000 lump sum. That money will then be held by your financial institution for a defined period, according to the contract, where it will grow with interest. After a specified amount of time has passed, you can start receiving payments. This guaranteed stream of income can then be used to supplement additional retirement savings and help you fill a void in your retirement portfolio.
A DIA is one example of the many options that are available when it comes to retirement strategies and that's good news for any investor seeking retirement income. With traditional pensions disappearing from the landscape, there are still plenty of options that let you design personal solutions for your own retirement. The key is knowing your options and working with a financial professional who can help guide you toward a stable retirement, that way you'll be ready for any changes that happen in your retirement planning until it's finally time for you to enjoy the fruits of all that hard work and smart saving.

October 16Speaker Series: Anita Collins, Ph.D. Lehigh Gap Nature CenterFriday, October 16, 7:00-8:00 PM
For over 100 years, twenty miles of the north side of the Kittatinny Ridge was denuded because of heavy metal and acid rain contamination from the NJ Zinc Company plant in Palmerton. Attempts to remediate that damage were unsuccessful until members of Lehigh Gap Nature Center proposed the use of native grasses to initiate restoration of soils and stabilization of the contaminants. Within a few years the effectiveness of this approach was evident. Now LGNC is the center of active recreation, education, conservation and research activity, almost all of it carried out by volunteers. Registration is required. |

The Friends of the Bangor Public Library are having a brunch with the author October 24 at 10:00am featuring BHS grad Karen Katchur. Admission is free but registration requested by calling 588-4136 brunch is also available.
(BELOW IS A STORY THAT APPEARED IN THIS PAPER AUGUST 4, 2015) Bangor High graduate Karen (Shoemaker) Katchur has published The Secrets of Lake Road (Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin’s Press) . Karen Katchur -- Official Author Website . In her book, Jo has been hiding the truth about her role in her high school boyfriend’s drowning for sixteen years. Every summer, she drops her children off with her mother at the lakeside community where she spent summers growing up, but cannot bear to stay herself; everything about the lake reminds her of the guilt she feels. For her daughter Caroline, however, the lake is a precious world apart; its familiarity and sameness comforts her every year despite the changes in her life outside its bounds. At twelve years old and caught between childhood and adolescence, she longs to win her mother’s love and doesn’t understand why Jo keeps running away. Then seven-year-old Sara Starr goes missing from the community beach. Rescue workers fail to uncover any sign of her—but instead dredge up the bones Jo hoped would never be discovered, shattering the quiet lakeside community’s tranquility. Caroline was one of the last people to see Sara alive on the beach, and feels responsible for her disappearance. She takes it upon herself to figure out what happened to the little girl. As Caroline searches for Sara, she uncovers the secrets her mother has been hiding, unraveling the very foundation of everything she knows about herself and her family in this riveting novel that is impossible to put down and hard to forget. Karen Katchur holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from West Chester University and a Masters of Education degree in Health and Physical Education from East Stroudsburg University. She lives in Eastern Pennsylvania with her husband and two children. She enjoys running and tennis and playing with her flat coat retriever puppy, Tucker and her cat, Carly.

Ask The Doc........
Technology can be wonderful!
by Dr. Gary Williams, DMD
garywilliamsdmd.com
I know sometimes new technologies can be frustrating and leave us questioning whether “progress” is worth the hassle. But, that is not the case with intra-oral digital scanners. We have been using our digital scanner at Family Dental Care now for 3 months, and the results are amazing.
Sure, it’s pretty “cool” technology, and it has been totally comfortable for patients. No gagging going on! And the turn around time is much shorter. All of these are pluses, but here is the real benefit… the accuracy and fit of what we are making.
I can comfortably predict a great fit of your new crowns, splints, Invisalign aligners, retainers, and anything else we scan for. That makes it worthwhile.
It’s one thing to restore your mouth to health, but I want, you want, and you deserve to rest assured that what is placed in your mouth is the best possible fit known to dentistry.
Digital scanning is here to stay at Family Dental Care. Feel free to ask us about our scanner. Garywilliamsdmd.com.
