Budget Like most pieces of photography equipment, the amount you can spend on a bag varies wildly.

Even entry level models around the $100 mark should still provide ample padding to hold your camera safely.

The first non-opoid painkiller

In the nineteenth century, the invention of anesthesia was considered a gift from God. But post-operative pain relief has continued to rely on opioids, derivatives of opium, the addictive substance employed since ancient times. Although no other drug has managed to match the rapid, potent, and broadly effective relief delivered by opioids, their side effects have led to decades of addiction and overdose, leaving researchers keen to find a better solution.
