Column: Head Space
Words by Andrew R. Fetter
Andrew Fetter has been writing about music for over the last decade and playing in bands for even longer. His latest endeavor is the radio hour, The Noise Kaleidoscope which airs Tuesdays from 4:30-5:30pm ET on 99.1FM WQRT in Indianapolis. On it he covers his personal collection and influences of psych rock from over the last half century, starting with early influences and reaching to it's modern incarnations. Past episodes are archived online.
There are many artists within the psych rock world that could easily be described as "prolific" or "genius". Usually that's paired with their ability/willingness to push the boundaries of the genre (if they those boundaries even exist) It's almost a cliche, but cliches are often labeled as such because there is a great deal of truth to them. In the modern era of the genre, one such name that gets tossed around (and rightfully so) is Ty Segall. He's successfully kept both feet in the worlds of garage rock and psychedelic music with such ease and, at only 32 years old, has made significant contributions to both genres. Ty has never been one to repeat himself. You could almost call him a chameleon of the psych rock world. He blends and changes his appearance (both sonically visually if you follow his solo work as well as the many other musical projects he is a part of). At the same those changes have the opposite effect of what a chameleon does. Instead of blending into his surroundings, what he creates stands out all the more and draws your attention to him immediately.
The chameleon aspect of Ty's music is apparent in even just a small sampling of his work, let alone his entire discography (and this includes other projects he's been involved with: from the heavily 70s psychedelic (almost classic rock) inspired project Fuzz and the heavier punk soaked project GøGGS). In 2012, he gave us the loud and noisy Slaughterhouse and Twins, followed in 2013 by the calm mostly acoustic Sleeper and Fuzz's self-titled debut, and then the melodic psych album Manipulator in 2014. And yet if you listen to those albums sequentially, they transition from one to the next perfectly.
The first week of August will see Ty release First Taste, his 13th proper studio album under his own name (because trying to tally EVERYTHING he's done would be a bit exhausting). The first released song, "Taste", gives some indication of where the music is heading. In many ways it's an appropriate followup to the more groovy, (dare I say funky? Yes I do), feel of 2018's Freedom's Goblin. And yet, "Taste" does hint at previous records too. The fuzzy synths bring to mind 2016's Emotional Mugger, the vocal harmonies are very reminiscent of Manipulator. And keep in mind, this is based on one song off the album. Granted the albums take on persona that permeates albums as a whole. But, he's also known to surprise the listeners. Even long time fans have walked away from new albums and wondered not only what the fuck they just heard, but what could Ty possibly do next?
Then, there's the video for "Taste" Yeah, it's something. Ty's certainly never been hesitant to do weird shit visually that matches perfectly with the music. But this video is on a whole other level of oddity. It's downright disturbing. But in such an entertaining way. We see a menacing looking Ty walking the streets and coming up to different members of the group of "The Freedom Band," the moniker given to his touring band. You see him eyeing various articles of clothing each member is wearing, followed by him killing each member in fairly gruesome ways in order to collect said clothing. There's more to the story once the ensemble is complete, but it's better seen for your own benefit. Suffice to say the video ends with a disclaimer: "All members of The Freedom Band were murdered during the making of this video. Except for Ben" (referring to keyboardist Ben Boye). I was left wondering "is this the final album with the Freedom Band?" Or possibly is the video's story a metaphor for how much the members contribute to the overall finished product of Ty's music? It's possible I'm entering the "writer's mindset" and overthinking it all and it was just a fun idea he had. But with all the grandiose aspects of his art, it just can't be that easy, can it?
Recent online press indicates that First Taste, is a completely new type of record for Ty. Lyrically it takes on a more introspective tone. The subject of his family is touched on with song titles "When I Met My Parents Part 1" and "Part 3". If there's a connection between the two, we're just left to wonder what "Part 2" would contain and how it would fit into the supposed narrative. Instrumentally, there's wider inclusion of instruments that one might not associate with Ty's music: koto, recorder, harmonizer, mandolin and bouzouki, to name a few. Given Ty's much revered and celebrated guitar abilities, his take on the more obscure stringed instruments will no doubt give the listeners a new appreciation for those abilities. This new album may not be a "first taste" of Ty's music itself, but it might be the start of a new type of Ty record. I'm on board.

Roshi Wendy Egyoku Nakao has served as the Abbot and Head Teacher of ZCLA since 1999, succeeding Abbot Emeritus Roshi Bernie Glassman.
Roshi Egyoku first encountered Zen practice in 1975, when she did a seven-day Zen sesshin on a dare. Following this plunge, she devoted her life to the Dharma, finding her way to ZCLA and Maezumi Roshi in 1978. In 1982, she ordained with the Venerable Taungpulu Sayadaw in Bodh Gaya, India. In 1983, she ordained as a Zen Priest with the Taizan Maezumi, Roshi, and trained with him until his death in 1995. She continued her training in Yonkers, NY, with Roshi Bernie Glassman from whom she received Preceptor and Dharma Transmission (Shiho) in the White Plum Lineage in 1996, and the Seal of Approval (Inka) in 2004. She is a founding member of the Zen Peacemaker Community.
Roshi Egyoku grew up in Hawaii in a family of Japanese and Portuguese ancestry. Her interest in spirituality was fueled at an early age by a fierce drive to find meaning in the context of differences. She attended the University of Washington, Seattle, where she received degrees in East Asian Studies and Library Science. Her life partner, Eberhard Fetz, is a neuroscientist at the University of Washington.
Roshi's passion for practice has led to creative explorations in new forms of training, including shared stewardship, a model of sangha building; council practice; shadow-mara explorations; healing circles; bearing witness days; chanting a women's lineage; and group koan exploration. She has given Dharma Transmission to Sensei Merle Kodo Boyd, Sensei Kipp Ryodo Hawley, Sensei John Daishin Buksbazen, Sensei Raul Ensho Berge, Sensei Pat Shingetsu Guzy and Sensei Gary Koan Janka.
Roshi is the co-editor with Sensei Eve Myonen Marko of Appreciate Your Life by Taizan Maezumi (Shambhala 2000), and co-editor with Sensei John Daishin Buksbazen of the newly published editions by Wisdom Publications of On Zen Practice: Body, Breath, and Mind (2002) and The Hazy Moon of Enlightenment (2007).
An interview about her experiences along the path can be heard at http://www.urbandharma.org/udharma9/dharmatalks1.html.


What a word! I scanned through David Wilkerson's word that he published in 1985. It was a word of warning to the Body of Christ and really to America as to the balance of being prepared, knowing who we are, knowing who God is in us and the fact that He maintains our lot, which really goes along with what you were feeling about a place of safety and security.
To complete that thought about ridding yourself of the intoxication of the world that you might know how to pray. We do this so that our prayers are not a mixture of worldly thinking or of self-focus, desires, and purposes so that we really are finding ourselves aligned with Heaven and what Heaven intends to do in the earth at this time. As we align with the purposes of God and pray in accord with that, He maintains our personal life. All of that gets taken care of.
Then David Wilkerson went on to speak about being in tune with what God is doing - which is part of what Asher Intrater brought to us in Indianapolis. I reviewed Asher's message a couple of times – just the transcript, and he made many significant statements.
Psalm 16 and then the fact that the number 16 represents love and loving. Let me just share with you a scripture that we all are familiar with in relation to love – I Corinthians 13. When the Apostle Paul spoke this to the Corinthian church, there are 16 distinct things about the quality of love that God wants us to have and to walk in.
Love is incredibly patient and very kind. Someone here this morning said that God had spoken the word "patience" to them, so you are aligning with what God wants.
Love is incredibly patient, and it is very kind. Love never brags about itself, nor does it envy others. Perfect love does not act vainly or behave in an unacceptable manner. It is not selfish, it is not easily provoked, and it thinks no evil of others. Love mourns sin but rejoices in what is the truth. Godly love is willing to bear, endure all things and to hope for and believe the best. The greatest of all spiritual gifts will never fail you.
I John 4:18 – there is no fear in love.
Interestingly, yesterday Dan Hammer preached a great sermon on his sense for 2016. He spoke, or referenced at least, Proverbs 3:5 where it speaks about acknowledging the Lord in all your ways. The word "acknowledge" is "Yada" in Hebrew, and it speaks of intimacy. It actually means intimacy. It is speaking of love in the sense of that intimate knowing of another person like your spouse. It is speaking of an intimacy with God, that I believe, He is drawing us into in this season.
I feel that this next year is going to be a year of increased contrast. Light and darkness – we are going to see an increase of both. Both light and darkness. We will see the contrast between good and evil. Trust and fear. Belief and anxiety. We are going to see all of that at play, and when I speak about the contrasts, like belief vs anxiety or trust vs fear, this is why He is drawing us into a greater intimacy with Him. Places where we think we have overcome fear, there may be new opportunities to develop a greater trust.
I do not want to sound ominous, but I think nothing should surprise us that will happen in our nation this next year. Therefore, it is incredibly important that we are very stable in God and growing in an ever-deepening relationship with Him.
Again, we will see the contrast between light and darkness. We will see good arise, even as evil arises and it will give us increased opportunity to develop deeper trust and belief as opposed to fear and anxiety.
Do you remember that Asher Intrater spoke that at the 2015 International Aglow Conference in Indianapolis? Here is what he said: You need to know what the plan of God is. You need to be sure of it because Jesus said, "In the end times there will be a problem of deception." So, you have to know what this Word says and that that does not come from just pulling up a verse here or there on your Smart phone. It comes from reading this Book every single day in a consistent manner so that you know what is in the Book from the beginning to end.
There may be places or things that you listen to or TV shows - where you begin to feel like, I want to distance myself from that. I do not mean some weirdness or holier-than-thou attitude that is religious or legalistic. There is something that the Holy Spirit is doing that we need to heed. Do not just blow it off or think, "Oh that is no big deal." Let us be sensitive to what He could be doing, leading us into, and wanting to refine in us. I think it is an important time.
David Wilkerson went on to say, There is a deep hunger and thirst for righteousness that will be seen. It is the drawing of the Holy Spirit preparing a Bride for His Son.
Another thing that I have felt is – we are talking about love and the meaning of the year. The number 16 means love and loving. This is a time of being drawn into a closer relationship with God.
The third thing that I sense for this year is that there is a great transitioning taking place in the nations. I think this last year with so many of the people from the Middle East entering Europe there has been a huge change that we will see unfold in the days ahead.
As I wrote the note down about the transitioning taking place in the nations, I also wrote that God has trusted us in this hour. We could have been born at any other time, but He has called us for this time. There is a huge trust that He has in us and it is another reason we need to be pliable in His hands and come into that new level of intimacy with Him. As we come into that new place of intimacy, He will stabilize us and give us peace in the midst of all things. There, again, I have a sense of – I know we want to begin the New Year thinking it is going to be a great, new year, and it will be, but it will be as we draw close to Him and are not thrown by anything that we see happen that He will maintain us in whatever comes.

Key West Resort to Pay $10.75M to Paralyzed Customer
A Key West resort and tiki bar agreed to pay $10.75 million to a customer paralyzed after diving from the dock.
Bernard "Bob" Barlow was visiting the island in April 2015 and spent an afternoon with friends drinking, lounging and swimming at the Galleon Resort and Marina. He hit his head diving into the water and was rendered quadriplegic.
"He lives in a hospital bed in the family's living room," said Barlow's attorney, Stuart Grossman of Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen in Coral Gables. "It's about as badly injured as one can be."
The case was less than two weeks from trial in Monroe Circuit Court, with the plaintiffs planning to focus on the absence of "No Diving" signs on the dock and the defense set to argue Barlow had too much to drink and acted irresponsibly. The settlement was reached June 7, and insurance policies are set to cover the full $10.75 million.
Barlow, a mortgage broker from Massachusetts who did two tours of duty in Iraq, made the trip to Key West for his 40th birthday. He and his friends staked out some lounge chairs at the waterfront Sunset Tiki Bar & Grille on the Galleon's property, which is on a deck next to a designated swimming area roped off and marked with buoys.
The friends drank and enjoyed the afternoon, with Barlow making a few safe dives into the swimming area. But there were no warning signs to tell him that some parts of the water were shallow, particularly during low tide, Grossman said.
Barlow went to dive into the water for a fourth time, but was several feet down the dock from where he'd been before. (The defense argued he was past the rope that designated the safe swimming area.) That time, he hit his head on the bottom, felt a crunch and started to drown.
"Thank God there was a nurse in the water, who was also a vacationer," Grossman said.
The Galleon's owner admitted there were no signs warning customers not to dive into the shallow water — even though there used to be. There was no reason the signs hadn't been replaced, the owner said. Today, the signs are back.
Barlow testified he would have obeyed any sign he saw. But as the case moved toward trial, the plaintiffs and the defense had a "lively debate" about the role Barlow's alcohol intake played in the events that unfolded that afternoon, Grossman said.
The plaintiffs admitted Barlow drank that day, but no one measured his blood alcohol content after the dive. The nurse and other rescuers said he was lucid and respectful and didn't seem to be significantly impaired by alcohol, the plaintiffs attorney said.
Grossman said he believes the defendants knew the signage issue would play against them at the trial scheduled for Monday, June 19, and they agreed to pay out the limits of their Scottsdale Insurance Co. policies.
"They had signs previously and had no justification for not having them," Grossman said.
The Cook Group LLC, which runs the Sunset Grille, agreed to pay $1 million, with the Galleon paying the remaining $9.75 million. The money will benefit Barlow, his wife and their two children, with a guardian ad litem set to determine the amount to apportion to the kids.
Thomas McCausland of Conroy Simberg in Hollywood represented the Cook Group. He did not respond to a request for comment by deadline.
Benjamin Esco of Cole, Scott & Kissane represented the Galleon defendants, and he declined to comment.

The Castle Builder online slot is a medieval-inspired game where building the most impressive castle you can will win the heart of the princess. Castle Builder software provider Rabcat Gambling has created an immersive 5-reel, 15-payline slot, taking the excitement of video slots and combining it with the addictive nature of The Sims. The best architects always plan their buildings, so read through this Castle Builder guide to lay the foundation for your rewarding gaming strategy!
Castle Builder combines your typical online slot with construction games like Sim City and Prison Architect to give players something to aim for above and beyond winning money. Software designer Rabcat has successfully integrated a level-based system into its video slot, casting the player as a Royal Master-Builder in the age-old story of a princess choosing her suitor. Players are charged by royal decree to create the most majestic castles in three different kingdoms: Fortuna, Ethril, and Ilrian. The aim of Castle Builder isn't to bank money alone, but to collect building materials necessary for your current castle project. Ten castles are required in each of the three kingdoms, with each blueprint becoming increasingly exuberant and requiring more materials than the last. When a castle is finally completed, the princess will move in and choose her suitor – how rich he is determining the amount of gold you'll be awarded. As well as being fun and innovative, Caste Builder has a high return-to-player (RTP) rate of 96.47%. The odds of making money from your career as a royal constructor are in your favour!
Understanding the fundamentals of online slot game Castle Builder doesn't require a degree in engineering. In many ways it plays like other video slots, where matching symbols across the 15 paylines, including traditional symbols like K, Q, J, and 10, are all part of the fun. In Castle Builder, however, these icons are fully embellished as actual Kings and Queens, with the Joker cast as a Prince, and 10 becoming the Princess. High paying symbols fit into the medieval monarch theme, with sacks of gold coins, treasure chests and creepy caskets to boot. The architect symbol acts as a the wild card, and can be substituted for every symbol and provide you with the most important aspect of the game: your building materials. These are what you need to hit to start construction of your castle, and can be earned by simply rolling a two or higher.
The more building material symbols you score on one payline, the better the quality of the blocks. Two will create a standard block, three will give you bronze blocks, four will conjure silver blocks, and a full payline of five symbols brings forth those gold value blocks. Once a castle is finished, you'll move onto the next. As we said, there are three kingdoms including ten castles each. After that you get to build five more castles for the Emperor. Upon completion, the game finishes. Luckily, for those who cannot get enough of building castles and pleasing emperors and princesses, there is also a sequel with even more longevity and features: Castle Builder II.
If you like Castle Builder - You'll like these slots too!

Star Wars: Battlefront: Clone Army Updates Coming to today
February 27, 2019 November 7, 2021 Soeren Kamper Star Wars: Battlefront
As we told you yesterday, Players can start playing Anakin Skywalker with todays game update. But that is not all. we're not only getting a new hero in Anakin Skywalker, but also an update to how the clone troopers of the Galactic Republic are represented in Star Wars Battlefront II.
In this new blog update from DICE, Game Designer Christian Johannesén talks armored clone officers, updated legions, and more. Check it out:
Along with an overarching re-implementation of how trooper classes are visually identified, the different clone trooper legions have also undergone a touch-up in the way they look. And with this update, we're introducing the option to play as an armored clone officer, too!
These changes and improvements to the clone army tie into each other, so to learn about how it comes together, we've talked to Game Designer Christian "CJ" Johannesén.
Phase I and Phase II Clone Troopers
With the additions of prequel era characters and locations to Star Wars Battlefront II, the clone troopers were originally implemented with the idea of staying true to the point in time when they appeared on the Star Wars™timeline.
CJ elaborates on that, saying, "In the Cloning Facility on Kamino, you'd see the 'fresh out of the tank' Phase I clone trooper with shiny armor and the fin-on-top helmet."
"But if you head over to Kashyyyk or Theed, we've moved further into the Clone Wars, meaning that we're now seeing the Phase II troopers. The Phase II troopers have upgraded armor, more patterns, and are wearing helmets resembling the ones of the Imperial stormtroopers."
This is a slightly different approach to, say, the Rebels in the game, who wear different gear depending on the planet and its conditions – winter jackets on Hoth, for example – rather than adjusting to the timeline.
However, strictly adhering to the timeline is changing for the clone troopers with the update coming February 27. Phase I and Phase II Appearances will now be separated from when and where certain events took place, meaning that players will be given the choice to select either across all prequel-era locations.
With the change, we're also making the clone trooper shiny Appearances the default for every location.
The Importance of Clone Trooper Legions
In August last year, Star Wars™Battlefront™ II got its first batch of clone trooper legion Appearances – different battalions of clones with their own armor patterns, colors, and sigils, representing their own history and characters in the Star Wars™universe.
CJ explains the importance of legions, saying, "Look at the 501st Legion in their blue armor, for example. They're distinctly the ones you see walking with Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith™. You see them as Anakin's legion."
"Then, when you start expanding upon it and watch The Clone Wars animated series, you'll see that Anakin's story with the 501st starts earlier. A new character, Captain Rex, is introduced, giving the legion even more character. To many, the different legions represent character and history. There's so much told about each legion through the comic books, the animated series, and even in some other video games."
With The Chosen One Update giving us the Coruscant Guard and the 501st Legion, a total of seven legions have been added since the launch of Star Wars Battlefront II.
Changing the Classes and Legions
The team has acted on community feedback to further improve upon the legions and how they look. To do so, not only have the colors and patterns of the legion armors been re-worked, but the entire logic of how classes among the clones are visually distinguished was overhauled.
CJ clarifies why the changes were made, saying, "It's a two-part thing where we've listened to the feedback, but, also, we ourselves were not satisfied with the first implementation," CJ says, continuing, "We're looking at an approach that's not only about making an Appearance look more authentic, but also re-thinking the differentiation between the classes."
"We launched with the idea that the parts you see on the armor – such as the Heavy's ammo pouch and backpack, or the Specialist's shoulder pauldron – are the differentiative features between the classes."
This is not going to be the case anymore for the clone army.
"As you look at it, you understand that many of these armor parts could be used to separate the legions as well. The 327th Star Corps is a major example, where everyone – independent of class – have a shoulder pauldron and two pistol holsters."
Breaking with the original idea that certain armor parts are for certain classes, the team went back to the drawing board.
"Now, the only thing that sticks with the new armor is the parts on the helmet. We keep something smaller for players to latch on to and remember, like the binoculars on the Specialist," CJ says.
Having removed the armor parts as a way of explaining the classes to players, each legion is now fitted with parts that are more representative.
"To balance that out, we've created more distinctive differences in the patterns between the classes. The Specialist has a lighter pattern on his body, the Heavy thicker splashes of color, and the officer is the one who challenges the overall color palette with inverted colors here and there, or even an added or removed one." The team specifically tried to match the Assault Clones to known film or animation reference. Then, with the other classes, went with unique original designs for the markings.
"Again, going back to the 327th, the original version of that Appearance looked like Commander Bly, who was the main leader for that legion. Now, the armored officer has been inspired by that with shades of yellow and brown, but more in a way that's defining for him."
Introducing the Armored Officer
With this approach to how clone trooper classes look, the above-mentioned armored clone officer is introduced to the Galactic Republic as well. Before, players have only had the option to play as an unarmored navy officer.
The idea of having an unarmored officer for the clones harkens back to Star Wars™: Battlefront™ (2015).
"As we stepped back on having stormtroopers running around without helmets in that game, we introduced the officer. That's the line we followed for the clones in Star Wars Battlefront II initially as well."
"But as we're looking at it now, clones are defined as being the armored troopers, while the navy officer would mostly be seen aboard the Ventor-class Star Destroyer. It just makes more sense that a boot-on-the-ground clone trooper is in armor, regardless of his rank."
As a result, with this update, the new default officer for the Galactic Republic is wearing armor and a helmet viewfinder. For anyone who prefers the navy officer, he's still an option.
Summary and How to Get the New Clone AppearancesTo summarize, this is what the update on February 27 means to players fighting as the clones:
· To maximize choice, Phase I and Phase II clone trooper Appearances can now be equipped independent of location
· To align with the Clone Wars fiction, "shiny" clone troopers are the default for all locations, though you will still have access to painted options though
· Some Legion Appearances have been updated with re-worked colors, patterns, and armor parts to prioritize authenticity over class differentiation
· Clone trooper classes are now differentiated through patterns and helmets rather than armor parts – through testing and hearing feedback, we saw that classes were most usefully differentiated by ability and weapon choice, and see this as an opportunity to prioritize authenticity
· The clone trooper officer is now armored by default, so if you prefer the naval officer version, he is still available as a player choice option
So, how do you get these clone trooper Appearances?
With the change, the 104th Battalion, 212th Attack Battalion, 41st Elite Corps, 327th Star Corps, and 91stRecon Corps clone trooper Appearances have been re-worked from their previous releases, for all classes.
If you've acquired any of the above-mentioned Appearances before February 27, 2019, you'll receive a Crate for each, containing the new Phase II version of that Appearance. You can claim the updated Appearance by navigating to the Crates section from the Main Menu and opening the Crate from your inventory.
The updated clone trooper Phase II Appearances, including the new 501st Legion and the Coruscant Guard, will be available as bundles as well for 60,000 Credits or 1,500 Crystals each and contain legion specific Appearances for all classes, including the Phase II armored officer. Any duplicate items will be refunded 20,000 Credits each. These bundles have changed, in that they now include the officer.
Also, with the update, all players will receive a starter pack bundle to their inventory, containing the Phase I versions of the 104th Battalion, 212th Attack Battalion, 41st Elite Corps, 327th Star Corps, the 91st Recon Corps, plus the Phase I and Phase II versions of the camouflaged 41st Rangers Platoon (the old 41st Elite Corps Appearances) and an extra 60,000 Credits. The bundle contains Appearances for all classes, including the new armored officer. You can claim this pack by navigating to the Crates section from the Main Menu and opening the Crate from your inventory.

Temazepam (trade name Restoril, among others) is an intermediate-acting 3-hydroxy benzodiazepine. It is generally prescribed for the short-term treatment of sleeplessness in patients who have difficulty maintaining sleep. In addition, temazepam has anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), anticonvulsant, and skeletal muscle relaxant properties.[1][2][3]

Temazepam was first synthesized in 1964, but it first came into use in 1969 when its ability to counter insomnia was realised.[4] By the late 1980s, temazepam was one of the most popular and widely prescribed hypnotics on the market and it became one of the most widely prescribed drugs.
15 & 30 mg capsules (US)
Temazepam is a hypnotic agent. In sleep laboratory studies, temazepam significantly decreased the number of nightly awakenings[5] but has the drawback of distorting the normal sleep pattern.[6]
Temazepam is officially indicated for severe insomnia and other severe or disabling sleep disorders. The prescribing guidelines in the UK limit the prescribing of hypnotics to two-to-four weeks due to concerns of tolerance and dependence.[7]
The United States Air Force uses temazepam as one of the hypnotics approved as "no-go pills" to help aviators and special duty personnel sleep in support of mission readiness. "Ground tests" are required prior to authorization being issued to use the medication in an operational situation. [1]
Use of temazepam should be avoided, when possible, in individuals with the following conditions:
Ataxia (gross lack of coordination of muscle movements)
Severe hypoventilation
Acute narrow-angle glaucoma
Severe hepatic deficiencies (hepatitis and liver cirrhosis decrease elimination by a factor of 2)
Severe renal deficiencies (e.g. patients on dialysis)
Sleep apnea[8]
Severe depression, particularly when accompanied by suicidal tendencies
Acute intoxication with alcohol, narcotics, or other psychoactive substances
Myasthenia gravis (autoimmune disorder causing muscle weakness)
Hypersensitivity or allergy to any drug in the benzodiazepine class
Special caution needed
Temazepam should not be used in pregnancy, as it may cause harm to the fetus. The safety and effectiveness of temazepam has not been established in children; therefore temazepam should generally not be given to individuals under 18 years of age, and should not be used at all in children under 6 months old. Benzodiazepines also require special caution if used in the elderly, alcohol or drug-dependent individuals and individuals with comorbid psychiatric disorders.[9]
Temazepam, similar to other benzodiazepines and nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic drugs causes impairments in body balance and standing steadiness in individuals who wake up at night or the next morning. Falls and hip fractures are frequently reported. The combination with alcohol increases these impairments. Partial, but incomplete tolerance develops to these impairments.[10] The smallest possible effective dose should be used in elderly or very ill patients, as there is a risk of apnea and/or cardiac arrest. This risk is increased when temazepam is given concomitantly with other drugs that depress the central nervous system.[11]
Patients at a high risk for abuse and dependence
Because benzodiazepines can be abused and lead to dependence, their use should be avoided in people in certain particularly high risk groups. High risk groups include people with a history of alcohol or drug abuse or dependence, emotionally unstable patients, people with severe personality disorders (such as Borderline Personality Disorder). If temazepam is indeed prescribed to people in these groups, they should generally be monitored very closely for signs of abuse and development of dependence.[7]
Normison 10 mg tablets (AU)
Side effects typical of hypnotic benzodiazepines are related to CNS depression, and include somnolence, dizziness, fatigue, ataxia, headache, lethargy, impairment of memory and learning, increased reaction time and impairment of motor functions (including coordination problems),[12] slurred speech, decreased physical performance, numbed emotions, reduced alertness, muscle weakness, blurred vision (in higher doses), and inattention. Euphoria was rarely reported with the use of temazepam. According to the FDA, temazepam had an incidence of euphoria of 1.5%, much more rarely reported than headaches and diarrhea.[11] Anterograde amnesia may also develop, as may respiratory depression in higher doses.
Hyperhydrosis, hypotension, burning eyes, changes in libido, hallucinations, faintness, nystagmus, vomiting, pruritus, gastrointestinal disturbances, nightmares, palpitation and paradoxical reactions including restlessness, aggression, violence, overstimulation and agitation have been reported, but are rare (less than 0.5%).
Before taking temazepam, one should ensure that at least 8 hours are available to dedicate to sleep. Failing to do so can increase the side effects of the drug.
The use of this drug in combination with alcohol potentiates the side effects, and can lead to toxicity and death.
Though rare, residual "hangover" effects after nighttime administration of temazepam such as sleepiness, impaired psychomotor and cognitive functions may persist into the next day, which may impair the ability of users to drive safely or may increase the risks of falls and hip fractures.[13]
Tolerance and physical dependence
See also: benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome
Chronic or excessive use of temazepam may cause drug tolerance, which can develop rapidly,[14] so this drug is therefore not recommended for long-term use.[11][15] In 1979 the Institute of Medicine (USA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse stated that most hypnotics lose their sleep-inducing properties after about 3 to 14 days.[16] In use longer than 1–2 weeks, tolerance will frequently develop towards the ability of temazepam to maintain sleep, so that the drug loses effectiveness.[17] Some studies have observed tolerance to temazepam after as little as one week's use.[18] Another study examined the short-term effects of the accumulation of temazepam over 7 days in elderly inpatients, and found that little tolerance developed during the accumulation of the drug.[19] Other studies examined the use of temazepam over six days and saw no evidence of tolerance.[20][21] A study in 11 young male subjects showed that significant tolerance occurs to temazepam's thermoregulatory effects and sleep inducing properties after 1 week of use of 30 mg temazepam. Body temperature is well correlated with the sleep inducing or insomnia promoting properties of drugs.[22]
In one study the drug sensitivity of people who had used temazepam for 1–20 years was no different from that of controls.[23] An additional study, in which at least one of the authors is employed by multiple drug companies, examined the efficacy of temazepam treatment on chronic insomnia over three months and saw no drug tolerance, with the authors even suggesting that the drug might become more effective over time.[24][25][26]
Establishing continued efficacy beyond a few weeks can be complicated by the difficulty in distinguishing between the return of the original insomnia complaint and withdrawal or rebound related insomnia. Sleep EEG studies on hypnotic benzodiazepines show that tolerance tends to occur completely after one to four weeks with sleep EEG returning to pretreatment levels. The paper concluded that due to concerns about long term use both toxicity and tolerance and dependence as well as controversy over long term efficacy that wise prescribers should restrict benzodiazepines to a few weeks and avoid continuing prescriptions for months or years.[27] A review of the literature found that non-pharmacological treatment options were a more effective treatment option for insomnia due to their sustained improvements in sleep quality.[28]
Physical dependence
Temazepam like other benzodiazepine drugs can cause physical dependence and addiction. Withdrawal from temazepam or other benzodiazepines after regular use often leads to a benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome, which resembles symptoms during alcohol and barbiturate withdrawal. The higher the dose and the longer the drug is taken for, the greater the risk of experiencing unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms can also occur from standard dosages and after short term use. Abrupt withdrawal from therapeutic doses of temazepam after long term use may result in a severe benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome. Gradual and careful reduction of the dosage, preferably with a long-acting benzodiazepine with long half life active metabolites such as chlordiazepoxide or diazepam is recommended, to prevent severe withdrawal syndromes from developing. Other hypnotic benzodiazepines are not recommended.[29] A study in rats found that temazepam is cross tolerant with barbiturates and is able to effectively substitute for barbiturates and suppress barbiturate withdrawal signs.[30] There are rare reports in the medical literature of psychotic states developing after abrupt withdrawal from benzodiazepines, even from therapeutic doses.[31] Antipsychotics increase the severity of benzodiazepine withdrawal effects with an increase in the intensity and severity of convulsions.[32] Patients who were treated in the hospital with temazepam or nitrazepam have continued taking these after leaving the hospital. It was recommended that hypnotics in the hospital be limited to 5 nights use only, to avoid the development of withdrawal symptoms like insomnia.[33]
Medical research issues
The Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine published a paper expressing concerns about benzodiazepine receptor agonist drugs, the benzodiazepines and the Z-drugs that are used as hypnotics in humans. The paper cites a systematic review of the medical literature concerning insomnia medications and states that almost all trials of sleep disorders and drugs are sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry while this is not the case in general medicine or psychiatry. It cites another study that "found that the odds ratio for finding results favorable to industry in industry-sponsored trials was 3.6 times as high as in non–industry-sponsored studies". Issues discussed regarding industry-sponsored studies include: comparison of a drug to a placebo, but not to an alternative treatment; unpublished studies with unfavorable outcomes; and trials organized around a placebo baseline followed by drug treatment, but not counterbalanced with parallel-placebo-controlled studies. Quoting a 1979 report that there was then, too, little research into hypnotics that was independent of the drug manufacturers, the authors conclude that "the public desperately needs an equipoised assessment of hypnotic benefits and risks" and that the NIH and VA should provide leadership to that end.[34]
It is a white, crystalline substance, is very slightly soluble in water and sparingly soluble in alcohol. The main pharmacological action of temazepam is to increase the effect of the neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) at the GABAA receptor. This causes sedation, motor-impairment, ataxia, anxiolysis, anticonvulsant effect, muscle relaxation and reinforcing effect.[35] As a premedication before surgery, temazepam decreased cortisol in elderly patients.[36] In rats, temazepam triggered the release of vasopressin into paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus and decreased the release of ACTH under stress.[37]
Oral administration of 15 to 45 mg temazepam in man resulted in rapid absorption with significant blood levels achieved in less than 30 minutes and peak levels at 2 to 3 hours.[38] In a single and multiple dose absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) study, using tritium (3H) labelled drug, temazepam was well absorbed and found to have minimal (8%) first pass drug metabolism. There were no active metabolites formed and the only significant metabolite present in blood was the O-conjugate. The unchanged drug was 96% bound to plasma proteins. The blood level decline of the parent drug was biphasic with the short half-life ranging from 0.4-0.6 hours and the terminal half-life from 3.5–18.4 hours (mean 8.8 hours), depending on the study population and method of determination.[39]
Temazepam has very good bioavailability with almost 100% being absorbed from the gut. The drug is metabolized through conjugation and demethylation prior to excretion. Most of the drug is excreted in the urine, with about 20% appearing in the feces. The major metabolite was the O-conjugate of temazepam (90%); the O-conjugate of N-desmethyl temazepam was a minor metabolite (7%).[40]
As other benzodiazepines, temazepam produces additive CNS depressant effects when co-administered with other medications which themselves produce CNS depression, such as barbiturates, alcohol,[41] opiates, tricyclic antidepressants, non-selective MAO inhibitors, phenothiazines and other antipsychotics, skeletal muscle relaxants, antihistamines and anaesthetics. Administration of theophylline or aminophylline has been shown to reduce the sedative effects of temazepam and other benzodiazepines.
Unlike many benzodiazepines, pharmacokinetic interactions involving the P450 system have not been observed with temazepam. Temazepam shows no significant interaction with CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. itraconazole, erythromycin).[42] Oral contraceptives may decrease the effectiveness of temazepam and speed up its elimination half life.[43]

Overdosage of temazepam results in increasing CNS effects, including:
Somnolence (difficulty staying awake)
Mental confusion
Respiratory depression
Impaired motor functions
Impaired or absent reflexes
Impaired coordination
Impaired balance
Temazepam had the highest rate of drug intoxication, including overdose, among the common benzodiazepines in cases with and without combination with alcohol in a study of 1985.[44] Temazepam and nitrazepam were the two benzodiazepines most commonly detected in overdose-related deaths in an Australian study of drug deaths.[45] A 1993 British study found temazepam to have the highest number of deaths per million prescriptions among medications commonly prescribed in the 1980s (11.9, versus 5.9 for benzodiazepines overall, taken with or without alcohol).[46] A 1995 Australian study of patients admitted to hospital after benzodiazepine overdose corroborated these results, and found temazepam overdose much more likely to lead to coma in comparison to other benzodiazepines (odds ratio 1.86). The authors note that several factors—such as differences in potency, receptor affinity, and rate of absorption between benzodiazepines—could explain this higher toxicity.[44]
Although benzodiazepines have a high therapeutic index, temazepam is one of the more dangerous of this group of drugs.
The combination of alcohol and temazepam makes death by alcohol poisoning more likely.[47]
Recreational use

See also: Benzodiazepine drug misuse
Temazepam is a drug with the potential for misuse. Drug misuse is defined as taking the drug to achieve a high, or continuing to take the drug in the long term against medical advice.[48]
In North America, temazepam misuse is not widespread. Other benzodiazepines are more commonly prescribed for insomnia. In the United States, temazepam is the fifth most prescribed benzodiazepine. Individuals abusing benzodiazepines obtain the drug by getting prescriptions from several doctors, forging prescriptions, or buying diverted pharmaceutical products on the illicit market.[49] North America never had a serious problem with temazepam misuse, but is becoming increasingly vulnerable to the illicit trade of temazepam.[50]
Temazepam accounts for most benzodiazepine sought by forgery of prescriptions and through pharmacy burglary in Victoria.[51] Due to intravenous abuse, the Australian government decided to put it under a more restrictive schedule than it previously was,[52] and since March 2004 temazepam capsules have been withdrawn from the Australian market.[53][54] Benzodiazepines are commonly detected by Customs at different ports and airports, arriving by mail, also found occasionally in the baggage of air passengers, mostly small or medium quantities (up to 200–300 tablets) for personal use. From 2003 to 2006 customs detected approximately 500 illegal importations of benzodiazepines per year, most frequently diazepam. Quantities varied from single tablets to 2,000 tablets.[55][56]
In 1987, Temazepam was the most widely-abused legal prescription drug in the United Kingdom. The use of benzodiazepines by street drug abusers was part of a polydrug abuse pattern, but many of those entering treatment facilities were declaring temazepam as their main drug of abuse. Temazepam was the most commonly used benzodiazepine in a study, published 1994, of injecting drug users in seven cities and had been injected from preparations of capsules, tablets and syrup.[57] The increase in use of heroin, often mixed with other drugs, which most often included temazepam, diazepam and alcohol, was a major factor in the increase in drug related deaths in Glasgow and Edinburgh 1990-1992.[58] Temazepam use was particularly associated with violent or disorderly behaviours and contact with the police in a 1997 study of young single homeless people in Scotland.[59]

Temazepam is currently a Schedule III drug under the international Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971.[62]
In the United Kingdom, temazepam is a Class C controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (Schedule 3 under the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001).[63] If prescribed privately (not on the NHS), Temazepam is available only by a special controlled drug prescription form (FP10PCD) and pharmacies are obligated to follow special procedures for storage and dispensing.[64] Additionally, all manufacturers in the UK have replaced the gel-capsules with solid tablets.
In the USA, temazepam is a Schedule IV drug and is only available by prescription. Specially coded prescriptions may be required in certain States.
In Canada, temazepam is a Schedule IV controlled substance requiring a registered doctors prescription.
In Ireland, temazepam is a Schedule 3 controlled substance with strict restrictions.[65]
In Portugal, temazepam is a Schedule IV controlled drug under Decree-Law 15/93.[66]
In the Netherlands, temazepam is available for prescription as 10–20 mg tablets and capsules. Formulations of temazepam containing less than 20 mg are included in List 2 of the Opium Law, while formulations containing 20 mg or more of the drug (along with the gel-capsules) are a List 1 substance of the Opium Law and thus subject to more stringent regulation.
In Singapore, temazepam is a Class A controlled drug (Schedule I), making it illegal to possess and requiring a private prescription from a licensed physician in order to be dispensed.
In Thailand, temazepam is a Schedule II controlled drug under the Psychotropic Substances Act. Possession and distribution of the drug is illegal.
In Sweden, temazepam is classed as a "narcotic" drug listed as both a List II (Schedule II) which denotes that it is a drug with limited medicinal use and a high risk of addiction, and it's also listed as a List V (Schedule V) substance which denotes that the drug is prohibited in Sweden under the Narcotics Drugs Act (1968).[67] Temazepam is banned in Sweden and possession and distribution of even small amounts is punishable by a prison sentence and a fine.
In Norway, temazepam is not available as a prescription drug. It is regulated as a Class A substance under Norway's Narcotics Act.
In Australia, prescription is restricted as a Schedule 4 controlled drug.[68] It is used primarily for the treatment of severe insomnia that has not responded to other treatments.
In Slovenia, it is regulated as a Group II (Schedule 2) controlled substance under The Production and Trade in Illicit Drugs Act.[69][70]
In South Africa, temazepam is a Schedule 6 drug, requiring a special prescription, and is restricted to 10–20 mg doses.
In Hong Kong, temazepam is regulated under Schedule 1 of Hong Kong's Chapter 134 Dangerous Drugs Ordinance. Temazepam can only be used legally by health professionals and for university research purposes. The substance can be given by pharmacists under a prescription. Anyone who supplies the substance without prescription can be fined $10000 (HKD). The penalty for trafficking or manufacturing the substance is a $5,000,000 (HKD) fine and life imprisonment. Possession of the substance for consumption without license from the Department of Health is illegal with a $1,000,000 (HKD) fine and/or 7 years of jail time.[71]

The Abaco Parrot: Subterranean Amazons in The Bahamas
by Giselle Dean, Science Officer for the Bahamas National Trust
One of my most cherished memories is a trip that I took as a child to Abaco. During that trip, I learned how to fish, got to experience the pine forests, and visited some iconic Bahamian locations such as Marsh Harbour and the Hope Town Lighthouse. Being the animal lover that I am, my favourite parts were fishing, but also getting my first look at a very special bird, the Abaco Parrot. It was not until much, much later that I would realize that this was probably my first experience in a National Park, but I do know that that experience had a lifelong effect on me.

The Bahama Parrot, Amazona leucocephala bahamensis is a subspecies of the Cuban Amazon (also known as the Cuban or Rose-throated Parrot), Amazona leucocephala (lit. white-headed Amazon). It is the only species of native parrot found in The Bahamas, and its green body and loud screeching make the Bahama Parrot very recognizable to those who are lucky enough see it. Previously found on several islands in The Bahamas, there are now only two populations of Bahama Parrot, which are found on Abaco and Inagua, and a very small third population of about 10 estimated individuals existing on New Providence. The Bahama Parrot is threatened by habitat loss and the illegal pet trade, and it is estimated that only about 10,000 of these birds are left in the country.

As mentioned before, the Abaco Parrot is a very special bird. Normally, the Cuban Parrot and its subspecies nest in holes in trees or other cavities, but the Abaco Parrot has adapted to the craggy limestone geomorphology of the Abaco pine forests and make their nests within sinkholes and caves underground. There are very few bird species which nest underground, and almost all of them dig their own burrows, which makes the Abaco Parrot unique. Other Cuban Parrot subspecies all make their nests within trees, like the vast majority of other bird.
You may be asking, why does the Abaco Parrot nest in holes? Well, there are several suggested reasons for this; being underground may protect them from the constant forest fires that happen within the pine forests, or they may just find it easier to find suitable cavities in the ground as opposed to the dense pine forests. However, the fact that they nest underground opens them up to new threats; predation by feral housecats and pigs is much more likely, and heavy rains can flood potholes, drowning unfledged chicks. Thankfully, the large majority of Abaco Parrots are protected within the Abaco National Park, which was specifically designated to protect these beautiful birds. Their population is estimated to be stable at around 4,000 birds due to the work of the Bahamas National Trust.
If you would like to learn more about these parrots, please visit www.bnt.bs. If you are interested in becoming a part of our Bahama Parrots of Nassau Locator Facebook Page, on which you can report sightings of the New Providence population of Bahama Parrots, please follow THIS LINK.

Here's the Latest on Oakville's Lakeshore Road Reconstruction Project
by Paige Petrovsky on June 26, 2019
Oakville's Lakeshore Road Reconstruction and Streetscape Project officially commenced back in April of this year. This project, as noted in a previous inhalton article, is part of the town's $20 million investment to revitalize its downtown area.
The completed reconstruction project, as mentioned in the previous article, will include enhanced roadways, tree-lined boulevards, beautified streets, and improved pedestrian and cycleways, increasing accessibility, mobility, and connectivity.
However, that's not all.
"The flexible design will facilitate access for special events and festivals," reads a previous press release from the town. "A two-metre marking zone in front of each storefront will enable restaurants and retailers to use street space as part of their downtown presence. In addition, new traditional streetscape furnishings (streetlights, benches, bike rings and bollards) will maintain the character of the main street."
In addition, smart city elements, such as public Wi-Fi, people counters, electric charging stations, and more, will be integrated into the project.
This project will be completed in two phases over a two-year period.
According to the previous release, the first phase (Navy Street to Dunn Street) kicked off on April 22, 2019, and is expected to be completed in November of this year. The second phase (Dunn Street to Allan Street) will be carried out from April to November (in 2020).
With that being said, here's what work took place, and is taking place, on Lakeshore Road this week (June 22 to June 28, 2019).
According to the town's website, the first sanitary crew will continue to install the new sanitary laterals on Lakeshore Road between Navy Street and Thomas Street. Meanwhile, the second sanitary crew will continue to install the new sanitary laterals on Lakeshore Road between Thomas Street and George Street.
In addition, watermain crews will resume their watermain works as well as install two concrete chambers, one at Navy Street and one at Thomas Street.
The electrical crew will also continue with the installation of temporary wooden poles between Thomas Street and George Street on the north and south side of Lakeshore Road. Electrical crews will also be resuming the wiring of the temporary wooden poles between Navy Street and Thomas Street on the north and south side of Lakeshore Road.

At the heart of innovation, discovery and advancement is research. The catalyst for moving in the right direction, science and research provide the foundation for our province and our country's economic growth and job creation.
A multi-year plan has been developed that could transform the capacity for research in Canada. The Fundamental Science Review was developed by an esteemed advisory panel of experts across post-secondary institutions and the science field nation-wide.
"It is the public sector that is often responsible for the largest gains in Research and Development (R&D)," explains Dr. Robert Chernomas, professor of economics at the University of Manitoba and president of the Manitoba Organization of Faculty Associations.
"Much of this funding has been channelled through research departments in universities. Limited private sector R&D in Canada makes the government role especially important. It is Canadian public sector funding that led to the discoveries of world changing innovations such as stem cells, insulin, the cell battery, the Canadarm and canola."
The investments in fundamental research that this vital report calls for could significantly improve research capacity and competitiveness both nationally and in Manitoba.
University of Manitoba president and vice-chancellor Dr. David Barnard and Dr. Chernomas have jointly invited Dr. David Naylor, chair of the Fundamental Science Review Panel to come to Winnipeg to present the findings of the review.
"The Fundamental Science Review describes an invigorated Canadian research environment and a direction for moving forward," says Dr. Barnard.
"Whether we are thinking about Canada's future economic growth, our ability to positively impact health outcomes, to cultivate future generations of thought leaders, or to generate improvements in quality of life both at home and around the world, we need to encourage a national commitment to investment like that envisaged by the advisory panel. I look forward to our conversation."
'Canada's Fundamental Science Review: Findings, Responses and Prospects' will take place on December 6, 2017 at 7:30 p.m. in the La Verendrye Room of the Fort Garry Hotel.
The evening will consist of a presentation, followed by a Q&A session with Dr. Naylor. At the conclusion of the Q&A component, there will be a reception in the Mezzanine. Everyone is welcome.
This event is sponsored by the Manitoba Organization of Faculty Associations, which represents the 1,600 faculty members and librarians from Brandon University, Université de Saint-Boniface, University of Manitoba and University of Winnipeg.

Geldingatjörn near Reykjavík
Brown Trout Fishing Just Outside Reykjavík
Geldingatjörn is a unique trout fishing lake only 25 minutes driving distance from Reykjavik city center. The lake is privately owned and fishing permits have not been obtainable on the open market until now. The lake is set in a secluded heath 220m above sea level. From there, one can see the beautiful Mosfellsdalur Valley below and nearby Mt. Esja. The lake is 0.6 square kilometers (0.25 square feet) and its average depth is three meters (10 feet).
Originally no fish habited Geldingartjörn because the lake would freeze to the bottom during hard winters. However, in 1950 the landowners built a dam resulting in excellent living and growing habitat for trout. The fish was harvested in nets until 1995 when the dam broke and most of the fish died. In 2000, the farmer at Seljabrekka-farm rebuilt the dam and restocked the lake with trout, but this time with the world-renowned giant brown trout from lake Thingvallavatn. This stock, which originates from the last ice age, is incredibly strong and is now self-sustainable in Geldingartjörn.
For the last decade fishing in Geldingartjörn has been restricted to a few friends of the landowners resulting in trout up to 16 pounds in weight being caught. The lake is brimming with trout weighing 2-3 pounds on average. The exclusive group of fishermen who have had the privilege of fishing Geldingartjörn agree on the experience that the trout there is truly a tough opponent and a pure joy to play with.
Distance from Reykjavík: 20 km
Fishing season: 1 April - 30 September
Average size: 2 pounds
Number of rods: 6
Tackle: #6-8 fly rod / Spinning rod
Best flies: Streamers and nymphs
Access: 4x4
Accommodation: Several options

A: Child objects that appear in a related list of a parent object have a lookup (or master-detail) field that can hold the Id value of the parent object. It is that field that your code should aim to update.
It looks like your order object is a child of your vehicle object. Perhaps you really want it the other way round.
But as your code stands this would save the association from the order to the vehicle (as the apex:inputField will assign the vehicle Id into the order field automatically):
public PageReference associate () {
    update order;
    PageReference pr = new PageReference('/' + order.Vehicle1__c);
    return pr.setRedirect(true);
}

and the related list of orders under the vehicle should then include the new order.
PS
To add vehicle (child) to order (parent) you update the vehicle's order lookup field Order__c (that you may have to add if it isn't already present):
public PageReference associate () {
    // Its a bit unusual to use a lookup field like this rather than
    // creating your own list of candidates
    Id vehicleId = order.Vehicle1__c;
    update new Vehicle__c (Id = vehicleId, Order__c = order.Id);
    PageReference pr = new PageReference('/' + order.Id);
    return pr.setRedirect(true);
}
