BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CareQuest Institute for Oral Health® released new data on inequalities in oral health care from the second annual State of Oral Health Equity in America Survey at a webinar last week. According to the survey, 77 million adults in the United States do not have dental insurance, and oral health disparities exist for many populations, including people of color, low-income people or uninsured and veterans.
The State of Oral Health Equity in America Survey created by the CareQuest Institute is a nationally representative survey of 5,682 adults to explore knowledge, attitudes, experiences and behaviors related to to oral health.
"We created this survey to better understand oral health disparities," said Myechia Minter-Jordan, MD, MBA, president and CEO of CareQuest Institute for Oral Health. "These newly published findings provide additional insight into the many barriers faced by historically underserved populations and will help inform our ongoing work to address inequities in our oral health care system."
This new data was released during a virtual discussion, "How's Oral Health in America?" Barriers to Care, Common Problems, and Ongoing Inequity," based on survey results and attended by over 300 people.
"This survey is the most comprehensive of its kind and the results validate the inequities we already knew existed in oral health," said Ifetayo B. Johnson, executive director of the Oral Health Progress and Equity Network (OPEN), which was a panelist during the virtual discussion. "We look forward to working with the CareQuest Institute and our other partners to use these findings to effect systemic change and break the cycle of oral health disparities. »
The new survey results show the challenges that many populations face when it comes to oral health, including:
Black, Hispanic and Asian populations face oral health disparities
Higher proportions of Asian (49%), Hispanic (49%) and Black (48%) populations reported experiencing discrimination in oral health care compared to their white counterparts (33%).
Nearly 6 in 10 (59%) black adults have lost one or more permanent teeth due to cavities or gum disease, compared to 45% of all adults.
Higher proportions of black (34%) and Hispanic (25%) adults rate their oral health as fair or poor compared to white adults (23%).
32% of black adults and 30% of Hispanic adults report at least moderate difficulty getting care for oral pain, compared to 21% of white adults.
There are oral health disparities due to lack of dental insurance:
77 million adults currently have no dental insurance (29.8%).
3 times more adults have no dental insurance than health insurance.
1 in 4 (25.1%) without dental insurance said their overall health had deteriorated in the past year compared to those with dental insurance (19.9%).
Oral health inequities persist for veterans
14% of veterans reported losing 6 or more teeth due to tooth decay or gum disease, compared to 8% of non-veterans.
6% of veterans reported losing all of their teeth to decay or gum disease, compared to 3% of non-veterans.
Nearly half (49%) of veterans said a disability in their household made it difficult to access needed care compared to non-veterans (19.9%)
There are disparities in oral health status by income
More than twice the proportion of Americans in the lowest income category (13%) compared to those in the highest category (5%) rate their oral health as poor.
About 1 in 4 adults (24%) who earn less than $30,000 are often bothered or embarrassed by their mouth, compared to 8% of adults who earn more than $100,000.
29% of adults earning less than $30,000 report delaying care due to COVID-19, compared to 19% of adults earning more than $100,000.

Closed petition Deliver Magor and Undy Walkway Station, part of the Burns Delivery Programme, as a quick win.
We urge the Welsh Government to expedite the opening of Magor and Undy Walkway Station, as a 'quick win' in the delivery of the lord Burns report. The station is needed now, with the population of Magor with Undy rapidly expanding and shortly becoming a town.
Magor Action Group on Rail (M.A.G.O.R.) has been campaigning for 10 years to restore a railway station to the communities of Magor and Undy. It has had massive community support and the full backing of local politicians in the County, Senedd and from our MP. This resulted in it being included in the Burns Report Recommendations and its inclusion in the Burns Delivery Programme. We believe this would be a 'quick win' because it is a technically simple and cost-effective element of the plan.
The full history of the campaign is available on our website - magorstation.co.uk.
This petition is now under consideration by the Petitions Committee

After work TheGirl and I had plans to have dinner and drinks with a mutual friend/co-worker, Arpine. Arpine posed for me last year. But before we even got to go to dinner TheGirl had a surprise for me. She went ahead and leased a new car, a Chevy Equinox that she has named Dharma (pictured below). She felt she deserved it. I hope it doesn't break her bank.
TheGirl had apparently been wheelin and dealin with the dealer and the whole thing finally came to a head, and she went ahead and leased the car. The car is nice, and feels quite roomy. She drove me me around the block before Arpine showed up. She isnt sure the car wont break her bank. Its nuts because she isnt even sure what the insurance is going to cost her. I hope she did the math.
After the big reveal the three of us, TheGirl, Arpine (pictured above), and myself, went out for dinner and drinks at Damons in Glendale. A place TheGirl had been promising to take me for the longest time. The food was pretty good, though I can't really say since I had so much booze in me. A good time was definitely had. Our good time will hopefully begat more outings with Arpine.
I had been mentioning going to The Getty Center with TheGirl nearly since we started our relationship. Nuts... but we finally made it up there on Saturday, in order to check out the Herb Ritts photography exhibit. Last time I went to the Getty the photo exhibit left me feeling down, because it was so terrible. This exhibit was quite good. I expected it would be, what with a photographer the caliber of Ritts having his work showcased. TheGirl liked it, and despite being a little tired had a good time. Heres TheGirl and I at the Getty (pictured below).
The reason Im wearing glasses is because I found these pair of fake glasses and decided to wear them the rest of the day as a goof. I thought they looked pretty funny. TheGirl thought I looked handsome. But she always thinks I look handsome.
After The Getty Center we drove down to 3rd Street in Santa Monica in search of a good meal. But everyone in Los Angeles seemed to have the same idea, and 3rd Street was completely packed. The restaurant we went to was completely packed. I quickly used technology to find a restaurant that was highly rated and was close to where we were. Oh, and that served margaritas. Turned out there was a place named El Indio near my old school, Santa Monica College, that was supposedly good. This according to the reviews on Yelp. So we drove there, only to find they only took cash. Stupid me didnt scan the review that clearly said they only take cash. Neither of us had any after paying for parking at the Getty. So, we drove to the nearest ATM and withdrew some cash. TheGirl and I then went back and had margaritas and some Mexican food. The food was passible, but certainly not bad. It would seem that every place in this city has the same Mexican food. I miss my Grandmother's cooking. It would be great if I could tap her mind and get those recipes and open a restaurant serving her food. All my friends loved her cooking. The day ended with TheGirl and me watching the first half of "Citizen Kane." Good times, indeed.
End Communication.

From the age of about 13 onwards, I've suffered from higher-than-seems-normal levels of anxiety, and while I've primarily come to terms with being jittery and a bit doomy, I definitely wouldn't mind being less so. I have actually had counselling before, and it does assist.
And drawing back from my own (reasonably subtle) concerns for a moment, could e-counselling be the answer to the psychological health problems escalating among under-30s? With cuts to mental health services actually beginning to bite, digitised treatment could be just the ticket for young adults who already filter almost every element of their lives– buddies, work, sex, home entertainment– through a screen.
Not everyone is completely convinced that moving mental health care online is the way forward. "You get to understand not only what it's like to talk to the person, however how it feels to be in a room with them.
" I have actually performed some research study into Skype counselling," states London-based psychotherapist Dr Aaron Balick, "and it's not the 'practical equivalent' of traditional counselling; it's simply not quite the exact same thing. It's really essential that individuals who engage in it are aware that it's a various experience from remaining in the room with somebody, speaking in person."
" In terms of ease of access, it's an excellent start and definitely much better than absolutely nothing. It'll ideally lead them to ultimately revealing up in the space.
In cases of mild depression, the NHS is now directing some patients towards online programs rather than face-to-face counselling, a phenomenon that worries Dr Balick.
If it's rolled out simply to conserve cash and there aren't crucial questions being asked about these services, that's not great. Then, I'm constantly really sceptical of individuals who are either very really pro or extremely extremely versus online psychological health care.
I signed up for four really different online mental health services– varying in expense from free to , 100 a month– and ran my anxieties through them all, all at once, for a week. Here's what I discovered.

To Mr.G. Biswas
Reader comment on item: King of Pop Michael Jackson and Black Converts to Islam
Submitted by faqi (United States), Mar 12, 2006 at 15:28Mr.Biswas. I read your response "who is fascinated by Islam" dated Mar 11th 06 and I fully agree with what you say in your post, especially your last paragraph. "Pity that we non-Muslims have to waste our time and energy telling the same thing all over again and again to new closed-minded Muslims. Islam is the biggest producer of a growing population of closed-minded submitters".
I usually try to ignore the responses I get for the posts I make as most are not worth bothering about. I don't quite understand why people come on these boards and post empty headed, half witted & ridiculous statements, when they don't have a clue about what we have written, they only air their ignorance & lack of knowledge.
Most of them actually do not add any value to any of the discussions, but they answer a question with a question. They never stick to the point being questioned but digress and tend to 'pass the buck' or say ridiculous things which have nothing to do with what is being discussed. When their point if view is challenged, or they are presented with clear facts, that contradict their beliefs they employ the strategy of diversion and basically tries to bamboozle people with inane ramblings and proverbs that mean absolutely nothing, either that or quoting from a predefined list of accepted retort or irrelevant passages. If pushed too far or the truth is too close for comfort they stop commenting. I've seen this here and on several other blogs, it appears to be a classic Muslim response. Muslims seemed to be coached in this method of debate, i.e. Never admit or even consider they may be mistaken, or worse still, totally wrong?
Can these people or persons ever give a straight answer to a straight question or enter into a debate giving clear, rational arguments and quoting their sources? I think not. Is it the Muslim way, casting aspersions on all and sundry whilst refusing to acknowledge the unshaking subversive activity of Islamists across the globe....Most of these Muslims prefer to shield their religion behind a veil of sanctity. What they don't realize is that Islam is a potent force for evil in the world - Poverty, injustice, hunger, disease and environmental degradation . If the Muslims themselves don't subject their religion to scrutiny now and work out whatever revisions and reforms that are necessary to bring it to the 21 st century. We will most likely see a very toxic form of Islam passed on to their descendants. The enlightenment/ reformation never came to Islam and it appears with the spread of Whabism, into countries which formerly had a gentler form of Islam such as Malaysia and Indonesia has to be viewed with alarm. In this scenario Islam resumes to play a dominant social and moral role to the detriment of society putting aside the advancement of freedom, modern science & the human condition.
I hope that Islam is in its death throes; that todays outbursts of fervor and fanaticism are but a brief transition to truly modern society where Islam may only play a ceremonial role - Maybe its only wishful thinking. Apart from a rabid few, every civilized human being appreciates the importance of peaceful co-existence in our world. The rest of us have all the more reason to investigate Islam, since it is obvious that complacency and ignorance could lead us to squander our opportunities to steer Islam in benign directions if that is ever possible. We owe it to our children and their children to look as hard as we can at the huge forces unleashed by Islam to see where it might takes us. There is no reasoning with these people- because they do not reason. The most succinct defense is that Islam is evil, its founder was not a prophet of any God but a self serving manic, the ardent followers is proof of that - just read the daily news at all the wanton killing and injustice in Islam. What more proof do we need?

Goldman Sachs Goes All Out for Ethereum
Goldman Sachs spent the spring months demonstrating an overt proponency of Ethereum, a cryptocurrency which is at the forefront of technological development and has captured the minds of many enthusiasts, whilst dividing the opinion of the self-styled disruptors including Elon Musk.
The continual high profile interest in Ethereum by Goldman Sachs, one of the world's largest investment banks whose relatively conservative core business activities would usually not favor a move into cryptocurrency was clearly not without purpose, as today, the bank has made history and contributed to reaching an important milestone in the ever-increasing alignment with mainstream financial services and capital markets that cryptocurrency is now experiencing.
Today, Goldman Sachs announced that it is adding Ethereum as a tradeable asset, and will be offering options and futures trading in Ethereum, with a launch date yet to be announced and analysts considering that it may become available within the next few months.
Goldman Sachs has taken a very avantgarde direction with regard to offering cryptocurrency as part of its trading portfolio, and began demonstrating a positive view of Ethereum a few weeks ago, just a short time after relaunching its Bitcoin trading desk.
Just after the now infamous flash crash in May which resulted in 5 major cryptocurrencies having approximately $700 billion wiped from their combined value overnight, Goldman Sachs waded into the fray and stated that it expected Ethereum, which at the time had a market capitalization of $250 billion – less than half of that of Bitcoin – could potentially outstrip Bitcoin as the number one store of value.
The bank called Ethereum the "Amazon of information", a statement which was subsequently leaked onto a Twitter feed along with part of an internal report by the bank which demonstrated the internal corporate view on Ethereum in an extremely positive light.
One of the aspects favored by Goldman Sachs is that the topographical structure of Ethereum supports smart contracts and therefore has an in-built means for users to build applications on its platform. This goes hand in hand with Goldman Sachs' enormous, multi-million dollar project around 7 years ago in which the company invested in blockchain development for the purposes of using its own distributed ledger system which it could roll out for various purposes.
Goldman Sachs' interest in the technological versatility of Ethereum extends further. The bank stated in its report that the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications are built on the Ethereum network and most NFTs that have been issued are currently purchased using Ethereum, hence deducing that due to the larger number of transactions, Ethereum may well become dominant.
This interest in the underpinnings of Ethereum is very interesting, however the bank's decision to allow options and futures trading in Ethereum represents a different direction for the bank, unless it wishes to offer trading and at the same time begin to utilize the technological aspects in other areas of the business whilst being able to fully trade Ethereum on the open market and take its part in being a market maker for the cryptocurrency, which in turn would perhaps give Goldman Sachs a means of influence, hence making it more able to harness the technology that it is interested in.
Despite the crash in May, Goldman Sachs is confident that there will be a large market for its Ethereum options and futures, with the company having experienced a lot of interest from customers who now see the current value as a good entry point, and these customers are not simply retail speculators, some are hedge funds.
Goldman Sachs may well be going all out on cryptocurrency, and it certainly has shown its cards as a proponent, especially now that it has not only encapsulated the technological advantages and is also about to offer options and futures in Ethereum, but has also been keen to invest in cryptocurrency startups, too.
Now that's a change of direction, where the old school banks, once the target of cryptocurrency disruptors in the quest for a peer-to-peer beating of the 'banksters', are now on board and aligned with the geniuses of the crypto world.

Referring to the targeting of the Mossad training centres in Erbil by precision-guided missiles, the IRGC General Public Relations in a statement stressed that the repetition of any evil act of the Zionists will face harsh, decisive and destructive responses.
"Following the recent crimes of the Zionist regime and the previous announcement that the crimes and evil acts of this regime will not go unanswered, last night, the strategic centre for conspiracy and evil acts of the Zionists was targeted with precision-guided missiles of the IRGC."
Iraqi media on early Sunday reported that Washington's new consulate building and two advanced training centres run by the Zionist regime's spy agency, Mossad, in Erbil have been targeted in the missile attack, Mehr News reported.
Earlier on Wednesday, Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) vowed to avenge the martyrdom of two of its advisors at the hands of the Israeli regime during a recent attack on the countryside of the Syrian capital of Damascus.
"Undoubtedly, the Zionist regime will pay the price of this atrocity," the IRGC's Public Relations Office said in a statement.

Many Wordpress or ClassicPress site owners get confused as to the importance of internal link building with their site content, and can't see the significance of it, however it can be an important strategy to improve rankings for their site overall if it is done correctly. Internal linking is a smart strategy for improving your WordPress site, however, choosing between the plugins available to help you with this task can be tricky. I've picked out 3 of the most used plugins to perform this task, and take a look at the relevance of each to different individual requirements.
Link Whisper, Yoast SEO, and Rank Math all include valuable features. Deciding which one is best suited to your site's needs is key to making the most out of them.
In this post, I'll briefly discuss internal linking and how plugins influence this process and its results. Then I'll compare Link Whisper vs Yoast SEO vs Rank Math on their relevant features.
An Introduction to Internal Linking Plugins
Internal linking refers to the process of connecting various posts and pages on your own website. This helps both users and search engine crawlers navigate your site and find relevant content.
There's plenty of articles out there about the benefits of link building. Instead, this post will focus on the role plugins play in this strategy.
Plugins with internal linking features make suggestions for related content you might reference in a specific piece. Especially if you have a site with a large volume of posts, this is a huge time-saver.
Unless you have a photographic memory, you can't be expected to remember hundreds of posts you've published over several years. Using a plugin is far more efficient than combing your blogroll for linking opportunities every time you write a new piece.
All that said, internal linking plugins aren't without their flaws. Specifically, they can cause problems by:
- Using repetitive anchor text. If your plugin creates suggestions based on keywords, you could end up with multiple inbound links to your posts that all have the same anchor text. Google may interpret this as spammy behavior and penalize you for it.
- Slowing down your site. Internal linking plugins can be bulky, resulting in slower page load times.
- Resulting in less personalized links. Automated tools aren't as nuanced as human beings. Your internal linking plugin's suggestions may not always be the best options, leading to missed opportunities for better, more relevant links.
Manual links will likely always be better quality than automated ones. However, supplementing them with connections suggested by a plugin can still be useful if you're being thoughtful when choosing your tool.
All of these plugins are of high quality and would make excellent additions to your arsenal. However, each has certain features that make it better suited for some sites rather than others.
For the purposes of this post, I conducted some informal performance tests. I activated each plugin on a fresh WordPress install using the same hosting provider and the Twenty Twenty theme. Then we analyzed them using Google PageSpeed Insights.
The results shouldn't be taken as definitive assessments of the plugins' quality or effect on a site's overall performance, especially since Google PageSpeed Insights scores alone aren't a comprehensive measure of a site's speed. We'll be using these numbers relatively to compare the tools to one another.
Without any further drama, here are my thoughts on Link Whisper vs Yoast SEO vs Rank Math for internal linking.
1. Link Whisper
In this related article on Link Whisper, a plugin dedicated entirely to internal linking, it shows how it can help you find related posts in three different ways:
- Providing linking suggestions in the WordPress editor
- Showing you an overview of all the links on your site in a report
- Displaying linking opportunities for older posts you've already published
These latter two features are unique to this plugin and can help you refresh past posts instead of only improving new content. We count that as a point in Link Whisper's favour.
Additionally, Link Whisper enables you to customize each link's anchor text. Simply click on any word in the suggestion to select or deselect it:
This can mitigate the issue of repetitive anchor text that we mentioned earlier.
Performance-wise, Link Whisper did cause a notable decrease in page load speed during our informal tests. Our control site received an average Google PageSpeed Insights score of 86.3. The average score with Link Whisper installed was 81.7.
2. Yoast SEO Premium
This is one of the most popular WordPress plugins out there with over five million active installations. Yoast SEO Premium includes a variety of features for improving your search engine rankings, including internal linking suggestions.
You'll find them in the righthand sidebar of the WordPress editor:
Yoast doesn't provide anchor text suggestions, so once again the concern over Google penalties isn't any more relevant than when you're manually adding links.
Unlike Link Whisper, Yoast's linking suggestions are limited to the post or page you're currently editing. If you want to update links for older posts, you'll need to do so manually or open the editor for each one.
During our informal performance tests, our WordPress install with Yoast SEO Premium received an average Google PageSpeed Insights score of 82.7. Considering all this plugin provides, it's not a surprise that it had a significant impact.
3. Rank Math
Like Yoast SEO, Rank Math is an all-in-one SEO plugin with dozens of useful features for improving your site's visibility. However, there are three features of note when it comes to internal linking.
Firstly, like Yoast, Rank Math provides link suggestions without anchor text in the WordPress editor:
Additionally, the Link Counter feature lists the number of internal and external links in each of your posts:
Finally, Rank Math has a Link Builder feature listed as "Coming Soon" on its website. According to the description, this tool would enable you to input keywords and have them converted into links automatically everywhere that they appear on your site.
This could result in problems with repetitive anchor text and Google penalties, which is unfortunate. However, Rank Math could still be valuable for internal linking if you don't use this particular feature.
Rank Math claims to far outpace Yoast SEO when it comes to performance. Our WordPress install for this plugin had an average score of 83.7 in Google PageSpeed Insights, placing it just one point ahead of its competition. Still, it's worth noting that this does suggest it has the least impact on site speed out of the three tools we've compared.
When it comes to internal linking plugins, there's much that needs to be considered. Relying too heavily on automated link building could do more harm than good, but limiting yourself to accomplishing this task manually will likely slow down your process and could result in missed opportunities.
To help you decide if an internal linking plugin is right for you, we compared three of the top choices:
- Link Whisper. It provides the most comprehensive features for internal linking but has the most significant impact on performance.
- Yoast SEO Premium. A fairly neutral option, with decent link building features but some increase in load time.
- Rank Math. The most lightweight plugin we examined. However, it's upcoming Link Builder feature could produce repetitive anchor text that hurts SEO.

Overall Winner

Link Whisper is probably the best plugin to use overall, and you can negate any performance hit by using ClassicPress, which is around 25% faster out of the box, so rendering it negligible.
So, to use Artificial Intelligence to improve your internal linking strategy.

As the Steelers and Ravens prepare to play next weekend, their first meeting since January, two key players won't be on the field.
Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu and Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs suffered knee sprains in Week 10 against division rivals from Ohio, and both are expected to miss several weeks.
Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Polamalu could be out up to a month — and Suggs could miss up to six weeks.
Polamalu has a PCL sprain; he injured an MCL in September. Suggs suffered an MCL injury when Browns quarterback Brady Quinn dove for Suggs' knee after an interception made on Monday night by someone other than Suggs.
The Ravens host the Steelers next Sunday night on NBC.
