Directed by Figvrati Films, "808 The Movie" tells the story of our young protagonist 28-year old cook named Teezy who endeavors to claim the ranks and make it as a hip-hop producer in Atlanta.
Last year, Waka Flocka Flame seemed to be more focused on bar-for-bar lyricism than bellowing on top of gargantuan trap beats, releasing the ironically-titled I Can't Rap Vol. 1 last summer as a culmination of a freestyle series.
Mac Miller on a Lex Luger beat? I guess crazier things have happened (like Mac teaming up with Rick Ross earlier this year), but still, this new Mack Maine track is bonkers for a number of reasons.
Combining only the most turnt elements of trap, dubstep and club music, Low Pros' self-titled EP (released this May) was an all-out assault on the senses, the sonic equivalent of standing in the middle of Times Square or Tokyo's Shibuya intersection.
Hear that? That's the sound of hip-hop's loudest MC crafting a sequel to his most aggressive project to date.
Rich The Kid is just a few weeks remove from dropping his guest-packed Feels Good To Be Rich tape, but it appears he's got some more tricks up his sleeve for the rest of the year, as he's just shared a new track featuring Casey Veggies.
A-Trak and Lex Luger who form like Voltron to create Low Pros, just dropped their debut EP this week, and it's filled with tracks that lean towards electronic music, but much of it just feels more akin to the current experimental wave of Atlanta rap.
The production team of A-Trak and Lex Luger, who go by Low Pros, have already delivered us two highly successful collaborations with rappers, the first being "100 Bottles" with Travi$ Scott as well as "Jack Tripper" with Young Thug and Peewee Longway.
When hip-hop began, samples were all that DJs and producers had to construct instrumental tracks with. They'd dig through crates of vinyl trying to find isolated drum breaks, melodies or vocals that they could repurpose for use in hip-hop music.

Lecture: Food (In)Security inWartime Ukraine
By Volodymyr Ternovsky
NEW DATE: Saturday, December 2, 2 PM
Thursday, November 30, 2023, 7:00 PM
Since February 2022, Russia’s extensive assault on Ukraine has led to severe food insecurity, impacting not only Ukrainians but also developing nations globally. Despite Ukraine’s ability to sustain its own population, Russia’s actions—such as blocking the Grain Corridor and destroying export infrastructure—have crippled the economy and hindered agricultural exports to dependent nations.
Agricultural economist Dr. Vlad Ternovsky will discuss Ukraine’s ongoing food production changes, focusing on occupied regions and the Kakhovka dam explosion. He’ll also examine Russia’s appropriation of Ukrainian grain, aiming to weaken Ukraine’s position in Chinese and African grain markets.
About Dr. Volodymyr Ternovsky
Volodymyr Ternovsky left Odesa, Ukraine with his wife and children in the first days of the war. He arrived in Saskatoon in April 2022. Volodymyr holds a master’s degree in agricultural economics and a PhD in economics from Agrotechnological University in Melitopol, where he worked for 18 years. He has also been involved in the agricultural extension service, working to implement international technical assistance projects aimed at the development of small and medium-sized horticultural production.

Next up in our Artist Profile series is Holly Lynton, one of the Mass Cultural Council’s Photography Fellowship awardees who will be showing her work at the upcoming exhibition at the The New Art Center in Newton, MA.
Five years ago, I left New York City for New England farm country to embrace its ethos of sustainability and local farming. Through my photography, I have sought to understand what is at the crux of people’s desire to live this way. In my series Bare Handed, I look for moments of wonder and spiritual resonance in my subjects and aim to depict the delicate balance between dominance and surrender, which is at the core of their every interaction. My photographs are created in rural communities struggling to maintain their agrarian traditions and natural resources despite the challenges of globalization, competing technology, agribusiness, and even weather.
The title Bare Handed refers to my subjects’ powerful yet intimate hands-on connection with their work—both land and animals—on the farm and in the wild. In these photographs, the heavy, overbearing machinery associated with modern life gives way to the simple, but potent, symbiotic relationship between man, creature, and the forces of weather, and allows these individuals a style of work that resembles a form of meditation. They work in tandem with their environment, reaping benefits, but leaving little mark: beekeepers, wearing no protective clothing; trainers at a wolf sanctuary; catfish “noodlers,” capturing seventy pound fish with their bare hands; and farmers, using traditional practices—which now seem heroic—to run small, sustainable farms. They take huge risks to stay committed to their methods, drawing on human strength of body and mind, especially in the face of the unpredictability and fury of the weather. They are committed to the idea of local living and sustainability, growing crops and livestock that nurture the land rather than destroy it. While making my photographs, I discovered that these individuals have a spiritual commitment to their work that goes beyond the rational and points to the power of faith.
In Bare Handed, I seek to celebrate that spiritual conviction, and their resistance of the trend towards mechanization. My images are meant to represent the glory of this work, while offering contrast to the iconic, historical images of hardship created by WPA photographers of the Great Depression period, and the current exposés of big agriculture. While photographing these workers, I was struck by how many mythical and religious references occurred naturally and spontaneously. With just a tilt of her head, the teenage girl in Sienna, Turkey Madonna, transformed into a rendition of the Virgin Mary. Not always overt, I look for gestures and draw inspiration from religious paintings, mythology, and iconic tales of struggle to convey a sense of mysticism that is in the everyday. It is these moments of spiritual awe I chase with my camera with the hope that I will be able to communicate through my photographs much of what I have observed first hand.

… Police say 15 vehicles had been stolen in Arbutus, Lansdowne in two-month span …
By Brian Conlin, email@example.com
5:29 PM EDT, October 13, 2011
Baltimore County police have made two arrests after a string of vehicle thefts in Arbutus and Lansdowne that began in mid-August.
Police arrested one Arbutus teenager Oct. 6 and another Oct. 10 and charged each with five counts of grand theft auto, Baltimore County Police Det. Cathy Batton said.
Batton said the 16- and 17-year-old will be charged for their roles in five of the 19 vehicle thefts and attempted thefts that took place over a two-month period starting Aug. 18.
Police had arrested two other teens Oct. 5, but they were released without charges filed, Batton said.
“Since those arrests, it has stopped,” Wilkens Police Station commander Capt. John Spiroff said of the car thefts.
Additional charges may be brought against the teens as the investigation continues, Batton said.
The 19 incidents involved 10 Dodge, three Chrysler, two Plymouth and two Jeep vehicles as well as one Toyota and one Chevrolet.
Vehicle models between 1994 and 2006 have been the primary targets for the thefts, which took place between 1 and 4 a.m.
Each of the vehicles the teens are charged with stealing was part of the Chrysler family of cars.
More specific information about how the teens stole the vehicles was unavailable as of Thursday morning, Batton said.

Indeed, given the Security Council’s tendency to refer to terrorist acts of any kind, it may be that fairly ‘low-level players’ may be caught by Article 1F(c) as interpreted by the Security Council, transforming it from a little used provision to a veritable catch-all. 87 On the one hand, paragraphs 3(f) and (g) of Resolution 1373 refer to international law—presumably as it stood at the time the resolution was adopted. 88 On the other hand, in Resolution 1373, the language concerning the purposes and principles of the United Nations and the references to refugees appear shorn of the General Assembly Declaration’s preambular references safeguarding the interpretation of the Refugee Convention and, indeed, without any reference to the Assembly’s Declaration at all.
80 Resolution 1373 37 elsewhere. 84 Moreover, the tendency to redraft national laws to cover inchoate offences related to terrorism, such as conspiracy, arguably means that States may, through the extension of their criminal jurisdiction, exclude refugees who plan terrorist acts, including acts committed abroad. Nevertheless, the lack of a requirement concerning a specific threat in Article 1F(c) means that it has the potential to be used to respond to ill-defined, possibly even illusory, ‘threats’.
85 However, the Security Council’s approach in Resolution 1373 may loosen and politicise the threshold. The Council has taken a fairly broad-brush approach to the question of the challenge that terrorist acts must pose to the United Nations in order for it to be said that they are acts against its principles and purposes. The Council stated in the Preamble to Resolution 1373 that ‘any act of international terrorism, constitute[s] a threat to international peace and security’,86 and then referred to terrorism simple in operative paragraphs 3(f) and (g) and 5.

This week’s books feature girls and women with a passion for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math!
Magnolia Mudd and the Super Jumptastic Launcher Deluxe by Katey Howes, illustrated by Valerio Fabretti (Sterling Children’s Books; ages 3+)
Magnolia Mudd is a girl who loves creating new inventions with her uncle Jamie. She is more than a little disappointed that she now has to share her absolute favorite grown-up with his well-coiffed finance, Emily. Worst of all, they want her to wear a frilly dress and toss petals at the wedding. This is definitely not something Magnolia is comfortable doing. But when Uncle Jamie tells her to find her own special way of participating, Magnolia enthusiastically gets to work. Research into wedding traditions leads to several inspired but failed inventions. But with the unexpected aid of Miss Emily, Magnolia creates the perfect engineering solution to celebrate her uncle’s nuptials — a bouquet and confetti launcher!
This story is great fun and my kids are full of giggles when we read it. But my favorite thing is the message that girls of all kinds are capable of loving engineering and creating their own inventions. The non-girly Magnolia and the traditionally feminine Emily are equally capable and interested in engineering a superb bouquet-blasting machine. This is an excellent story for inspiring young girls to be true to their sense of self and follow their own interests. It’s also a great reminder to adults to embrace kids as they are, even if it differs from our original expectations.
Margaret and the Moon by Dean Robbins, illustrated by Lucy Knisley (Knopf Books for Young Readers; ages 4-8) tells the story of Margaret Hamilton — computer scientist, systems engineer, winner of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and recipient of the NASA Exceptional Space Act Award — who wrote the in-flight software for Project Apollo.
We first meet Margaret as a little girl interested in learning about everything and full of questions regarding the limited career choices for women. A love of mathematics eventually leads her to computer science and a career as a software engineer. She then joins NASA in their pursuit of a lunar landing. We read about how she gave great, detailed thought to all the possible problems the lunar landing could encounter and accounted for each in her mountain of code (a stack literally as tall as Margaret herself!). It is this code that led to the safe and successful first lunar landing despite a systems overload that occurred within in minutes of approaching the moon’s surface. An author’s note including more biographical information, a bibliography, and additional reading recommendations close the book.
Margaret’s story is nothing short of inspirational, and her enormous contribution to modern computer science and space exploration is beautifully captured in this book. Her story is written with concise yet engaging text paired with warm illustrations that capture a genuine likeness when compared to the photos included in the end papers. The result is a reader experience of feeling that you get to know Margaret as a person rather than just an outline of her accomplishments.
This book is an absolute favorite in my home. My daughter has always been fascinated by computers and space, and when we read this for the first time she was aglow with delight at reading such a story about a girl like herself. As a parent, this moment was enough to make my heart burst with love for my daughter, Margaret Hamilton, this book, and its creators. Overall, this book is superb and deserves to be on shelves everywhere for its ability to show kids the power of following your passions.
Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World by Rachel Ignotofsky (Ten Speed Press).
“Throughout history many women have risked everything in the name of science. This book tells the stories of some of these scientists, from ancient Greece to the modern day, who in the face of ‘No’ said, ‘Try and stop me.'”
Women in Science opens with an introduction that summarizes the biases against women in STEM across history, the monumental challenges they faced, and the importance of learning their stories. Included are profiles of 50 women from different fields of science, countries, and times — all of whom made significant contributions in their field of study. A timeline highlights significant scientific achievements made by women (e.g. 1780s, Caroline Herschel, astronomer, was the first woman to become an honorary member of the Royal Society) and significant advancements in society for women’s rights (e.g. passage of the Nineteenth Amendment and The Equal Pay Act). A Statistics in STEM page highlights the ongoing gender gaps in STEM graduates and workforce. The book closes with an inspirational Conclusion page urging the women of today (over half of the population!) to remember the legacies of those in this book and continue the pursuit of scientific discovery.
This book is an absolute gem for its wealth of information, inclusivity, and superb execution. Each profile is detailed enough to appreciate the value of each woman’s contributions and the individual challenges she faced while also being concise and engaging. The modern, stylized art makes it visually appealing and adds plenty of extra interest to text-heavy pages. But my favorite aspect is the forthright discussion of the gender issues surrounding women in STEM — it is an honest yet encouraging education about the realities of persistent inequality and devaluation of women’s accomplishments. And I believe reading this book, learning about these pioneering women, and educating our children about these issues is a powerful step toward necessary change.

Housing for People not for Profit
A Workers' collective runs the store, with minor adjustments over the years to allow for some division of labor, in ordering food, accounting, overseeing work done, and so forth. But the basic premise holds true.
A small enterprise admittedly, but one whose principles can apply to other social movements. We all need to eat. Why should some get rich off the needs of otherwise? There is a large movement in this country for Single Payer Health care. Or what many are calling Medicare for all. The premise is simple, pool our resources, get rid of the middleman in the form of profit-happy insurance companies, and provide decent affordable health care for all.
Another basic need is for shelter. While there are non-profit housing groups, land trusts, co-housing ventures and the like, the profit motive is still big in the housing market, and it still drives housing speculation, while driving honest hard working people out into the street, because they can't afford their mortgage payments to the rapacious banks who suckered them into buying a home on nothing down and a big balloon payment in the not so distant future.
Why should banks, speculators, and developers profit on the need for shelter? why not take the profit motive out of home sales. More co-housing, land and housing trusts, sweat equity and local governmental regulation of the construction industry is a good start.
A fair wage for builders, architects, planners and others necessary to see that houses are built well to serve the needs of the people.
All the people.
We will never have a truly equitable society so long as the few control the land and the land prices, so long as banks can bundle mortgages and land speculators can turn a profit from overbuilding in sensitive areas, because to build just what's needed would not be profitable.
Just today in the Marin IJ, a poor beleaguered developer is crying foul because the Planning Commission has rejected his bid to build 12 luxury homes in a area zoned for 5. He'll probably get 7 or 8 because otherwise would be to deny him profitable use of his land.
And yet, no one wants to touch this sacred cow of property rights. Even so called liberals draw the line at anything that might impinge on their ability to turn a profit on land sales. Yes, many of us have the equity in our home as our only asset. Selling the family manse to take care of needs later in life like medical bills, colelge tuition and a well deserved retirement is a time honored tradition.
But what if medical needs were taken care of, tuition was free and decent wages were guaranteed for all? What if there were more cooperative or collectively run businesses, so that over priced everything was no longer the norm?
Then maybe overpriced mortgages would go the way of child labor and sweat shops (oh, yeah, we still have those too).
What if shared resources were the norm, not an aberration indulged in by Utopian fantasists and old hippies?
Ask yourself the question, what has trickle down capitalism done for me lately?
Keep capitalism, but make it trickle up; let the many, the 99% decide who runs the banks, (or the credit unions), the businesses and the housing market.
Homes for People, not for Profit. Think about it. Good issue for Occupy?

Sydney will need more than 600,000 extra homes for an additional 1.6 million people in the next two decades, according to state government figures.
But urban planners say the projections also reveal the ''real tension'' in matching population growth to the right housing stock as Sydney also contends with the growing challenges of an ageing population.
Figures published on Thursday by the Department of Planning and Environment predict an additional 2 million people are expected to call NSW home by 2031, when the state's population will reach 9.2 million.
About 5.9 million people are expected to live in Sydney - 100,000 more than last year's preliminary forecasts - requiring an additional 664,300 homes.
Two babies are expected to be born for every person who dies in NSW, where three overseas migrants will arrive for every resident who departs for another state.
Even so, single households will be the fastest growing type, increasing by more than 40 per cent across the state as the population ages.
They will also remain - or increasingly become - the most common group within the inner Sydney area bounded by Ashfield, Botany and Mosman. It is in stark contrast to the trend in Sydney's west, where families are expected to remain the most common household type.
Bill Randolph, director of the city futures research centre at the University of NSW, said this could lead to a ''real tension'' if older households did not downsize.
''I think we could have big mismatch,'' Professor Randolph said. ''There will be a single aged people still living in their old home, yet the young families being pushed out.''
Despite the population boom putting the squeeze on the City of Sydney childcare centres and high schools, families will still only comprise 13,600 of its 155,950 households by 2031.
While this is double the number recorded in 2011, lone households - comprising young professionals, student or older singles - will increase by 25,000 in the same period to more than 67,000.
At the same time, the city's population of 273,500 is projected to skew older, with the number of people aged 65 and above expected to almost triple.
''We are going to see a city with [a] very significant proportion of older people,'' said Professor Peter Phibbs, the chairman of Urban and Regional Planning and Policy at the University of Sydney. Planning needed to ''think hard'' about designing an age-friendly city, he said, as well as the types of housing available.
''We need a planning system that will help facilitate housing production at a range of price points - the current focus on just hoping that expanding supply will fix everything will not succeed,'' he said.
Ashia Levique, 40, has lived happily on her own in Darlinghurst for the past six years.
Ms Levique, who works in banking and finance, did not mind if resources were directed locally into family friendly services and facilities, saying all her needs were catered for in the area.
''In 20 years' time I'll probably be asking for more pensioner activities and bingo halls,'' she said.

We interrupt this lavish Christmas Giveaway to tell you about a great book, but keeping with the theme, we do have three copies to give away, and this book would make a great gift for any girl in your life between the ages of eight and fifteen.
I like to give books for gifts (and I like to receive books too), but unless a person is a real book lover, I think that a book given as a gift should be special in some way. One thing that makes a book special is its size–big (288 pages, 9 inches by 7 inches) and a cover that sparkles wouldn’t hurt either. The Daring Book for Girls fits the bill on both counts. Andrea J. Buchanan and Miriam Peskowitz have written a book full of interesting stories, profiles, activities and essential skills and even a list of “books that will change your life” (since I like to buy and receive books, I’m a sucker for book lists).
This book will bring back fond memories for moms as well, which is sure to spark connecting conversations** between mom and daughter. I know that when I saw the instructions for making a sit-upon, it brought me back to my days in Girl Scouts when I was the same age my daughter is now. The authors explain the generation gap in the introduction: “We were girls before the Web, cell phones, or even voice mail. More often than not, we did daring things like walk to school by ourselves. Babysit when we were still young enough to be babysat ourselves. Spent hours on our own, playing hopscotch or tetherball, or turning our suburban neighborhood into the perfect setting for covert ops and impromptu ball games.” They also express concern that in addition to being cooler “girlhood today has become high-pressured and competitive, and girls are inducted into grownup-hood before their time.” The Daring Book for Girls is a “book of possibilities and ideas for filling a day with adventure, imagination — and fun, if you dare.”
If you’d like to win one of three copies (that can ship to the U.S. or Canada), please leave a comment here.
**Speaking of sparking conversations, Mary DeMuth, author of Ordinary Mom, Extraordinary God— which I’ve given many many times as a gift (full review here)–has a pdf download available of 150 conversation starters for families. You can see a sample and buy it for $5 at her site. These questions range from spiritual to thoughtful to silly and are appropriate for early grade school through the teen years.
Congratulations to the winners of last week’s books on surviving the teen years:

68-yr-old man from Nashik 5th to test negative for Corona virus
A 68-year-old man, who was admitted at the isolation ward of the civil hospital here with symptoms of Coronavirus infection on his return from New Zealand, tested negative for the same on Monday.
The patient, who originally hailed from Nashik, came here from New Zealand via Mumbai on February 29.
A week later, on March 7, he was admitted to a private hospital in the city, after he complained of cold and a problem with breathing. From there, he was shifted to the isolation ward of civil hospital on March 8.
His swab sample was sent to government lab at Pune for testing, the report of which received here today stated ‘negative’ for infection.
According to sources in the hospital, this is the fifth case of suspected Coronavirus in Nashik. They all tested negative for the same, it was stated.

As Republican lawmakers continue to work on passing The American Health Care Act (AHCA), state-run high-risk pools could make a comeback. Some experts have touted high-risk pools as a better, less-market-distorting way to provide care to patients with pre-existing conditions, while others say the pools are expensive and unsustainable.
Pre-ACA High-Risk Pools
High-risk pools are not a new concept; the first high-risk pools were launched in Minnesota and Connecticut in 1976 to serve high-cost patients who could not otherwise obtain insurance. In the pre-Affordable Care Act (ACA) era, states commonly created high-risk pools because insurers were able to deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions or charge them prohibitively high premiums. Sleep apnea was one of the conditions listed as a ‘pre-existing’ condition, which allowed insurers to raise premium rates.
Through high-risk pools, states provided coverage access for high-cost patients who would otherwise be unable to enroll in a health plan on the individual market. Prior to the ACA, 35 states had implemented high-risk pools covering a total of 226,615 consumers, but states often took steps that restricted an individual’s access. For example, some common aspects included: enrollment limitations; high deductibles; lifetime dollar limits on covered services or benefits; pre-existing condition exclusions; and premiums above standard individual market rates.
Further, experts at the time said that many states did not provide enough funding to create successful high-risk pools. According to a Kaiser Family Foundation analysis, the combined net losses for the 35 state high-risk pools in 2011 averaged $1.2 billion, or $5,510 per enrollee.
In addition, most states allowed insurers to quiz applicants for regular individual policies with lengthy questionnaires, including details about the health of each family member. Insurers also could review medical and pharmacy records. A prescription for insulin for diabetes or an immunosuppressant for arthritis could mean a denial of coverage. Insurers automatically denied individual coverage for people with cancer, cerebral palsy, congestive heart failure and many other conditions, or they excluded certain conditions and even family members in the coverage they offered.
ACA High-Risk Pools
However, the ACA high-risk pools faced challenges too. Under the law, the government set up a temporary program called the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan, to serve as a bridge until the phase-in of the requirement that insurers accept people with health problems. The plan was open to people who had a pre-existing condition and had been uninsured for at least six months. Premiums were comparable to what healthy customers paid.
But the cost of care quickly threatened to drain the $5 billion budget for the program. With about 100,000 patients participating nationwide, the government unexpectedly froze enrollment. Then midway through the 2013 plan year, 17 states unwilling to pay for cost overruns turned their programs back to the federal government. Patients did not lose coverage, but they had to meet new deductibles and out-of-pocket limits, which meant thousands of dollars in unplanned costs for those being treated for serious illnesses.
Starting in 2014, insurers were forbidden from turning away people in poor health, and the cost of their care was spread across the entire pool of people with individual policies, which is one reason why the cost of those policies has soared. The increases have especially affected people whose income is too high to qualify for a government subsidy.
The House GOP bill takes a slightly different approach by giving states funding to pursue cost-controlling measures, such as high-risk pools, as they see fit. Specifically, the bill, which is being marked up by committees this week, would establish a “Patient and State Stability Fund” that would allocate $15 billion for 2018 and 2019, after which it would allocate $10 billion annually through 2026. If the Republican bill passes, patients with sleep apnea could be placed into a high-risk pool that offers fewer benefits at higher costs.
In the coming weeks, debate will intensify about the proposed replacement program for the ACA. Advocates on both sides believe individuals should be afforded protections in any future program. However, there are distinct differences in how these advocates believe coverage should be provided.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine Political Action Committee (AASM PAC) is a bi-partisan political action committee to educate and financially support lawmakers who are working to protect the future of your sleep practice. AASM PAC is the most effective and visible advocacy tool to advance the legislative priorities of the field of sleep medicine.

Compiled by Dr Igor Cernavin, Prosthodontist, Honorary Senior Fellow University of Melbourne School of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, Director and Cofounder of the Asia Pacific Institute of Dental Education and Research (AIDER), Australian representative of World Federation of Laser Dentistry (WFLD).
Kaplan et al1 carried out a study aimed to assess the effect of a 980-nm diode laser following chemomechanical root canal preparation on the severity of post-operative pain (PP) after root canal treatment (RCT). They concluded that was effective.
Costa and coworkers2 published an article on the use of lasers and Piezoelectric in intraoral surgery which the readers may find interesting. The abstract is reproduced in full.
Laser therapy has been delivering good results for more than 30years. Therapeutic effects are seen due to its ability to stimulate cell proliferation, revascularization, cell regeneration, local microcirculation, and vascular permeability; leading to edema reduction and analgesic effects. The piezoelectric system has been used in several surgeries recently, following the trend of minimally invasive surgery. The system consists of crystals undergoing deformation when exposed to electric current, resulting in an oscillating movement with ultrasound frequency. In oral surgery it is used in orthognathic and temporomandibular joint procedures, alveolar corticotomies, tumor excision, bone grafts, third molars, and dental implants.
: Parlar Oz et al3 investigated the effectiveness of different light activation methods for in-office bleaching agents in terms of color change durability and tooth sensitivity using a randomized clinical trial. They concluded that although all light activation techniques showed noticeable color changes, the conventional technique showed appreciable color change at the 6-month follow-up. Nd:YAG and diode laser activation can be preferable alternatives to LED and conventional activation in clinical practice as they bleach more and faster, decrease the number of sessions and chair time, and cause minimum sensitivity.
Liapis, and coworkers4 compared the intensity of post-operative pain after primary root canal treatment of asymptomatic teeth when using ultrasonically or laser-activated irrigation and concluded that there was no difference.
Costa,et al5 conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the orthodontic mini-implants (OMI) stability and concluded that it significantly increased the stability.
Paiva and coworkers6 evaluated how Er,Cr:YSGG laser, associated or not with 5% fluoride varnish, influences the surface roughness and volume loss of bovine root dentin submitted to erosive and/or abrasive wear and concluded that it was an effective method to increase resistance to wear.
Roeykens and coworkers7 assessed the effect of laser doppler flowmetry in measurement of pulpal vitality. The abstract is reproduced in full.
Objective: It has been stated that blood pigments within discolored teeth may interfere with Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF) measurements. The aim of this study was to assess pulp vitality with LDF in a cohort of discolored traumatized teeth referred for endodontic treatment or where the referring dentist had doubts regarding maintained tooth vitality. Background: Discoloration of teeth is a common sequel of dental trauma. Still today, it is taken as an indicator for root canal treatment. Transient apical breakdown (TAB) is confused with apical periodontitis, although it is a sequel of dental trauma in young mature teeth and will result in revascularization and dissolution of the apical radiolucency. Methods: A total of 26 patients with 28 discolored teeth, belonging to a cohort of referred patients with traumatized teeth referred for root canal treatment and/or pulp vitality assessment were screened on color with photographs by three investigators, with traditional sensibility tests and with a Moor VMS II LDF meter. Results: The color of the intrinsically discolored teeth was grayish in 58% of teeth, blue 20%, pink/crimson 12%, and yellow 4%. Eighty-five percent were central maxillary incisors, 11% were mandibulary incisors. Thanks to LDF, 43% of the trauma cases in this small cohort with discoloration underwent root canal treatment instead of 70% with traditional sensibility tests as indicator. TAB was found in 11%. Conclusions: LDF was decisive in diagnosing vitality of discolored teeth and there was no negative impact of tooth discoloration on LDF measurements.
Baser Keklikciet al8 investigated the effects of different wavelengths low-level laser therapies on orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR) during orthodontic tooth movement in rats by micro-computerized tomography. They concluded that the 532-nm, 650-nm, and 940-nm lasers significantly reduced the volume of OIIRR. In addition, the 532-nm laser reduced the number of lacunae both distally and totally than all the other groups.
Haghighat and coworkers 9 assessed the effect of LLLT on the recovery time of neurosensory deficits after Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy using the blink reflex. They concluded that the 810-nm diode laser can accelerate the recovery from paresthesia after orthognathic surgery.
AlMoharib et al10 compared the efficacy of biofilm removal from implant-like titanium surfaces by an erbium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser, titanium brush and carbon fiber curette. They found that Er:YAG laser treatment is an effective method for reducing the bacterial biofilm on titanium discs. However, on a threadless titanium surface, Er:YAG laser does not exhibit a significantly greater efficacy in biofilm removal than commonly used titanium brushes or carbon fiber curettes.
Bashir, Nasir Zeeshan and coworkers11 published a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of indocyanine green-mediated photodynamic therapy (ICG-PDT) as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT), in the management of chronic periodontitis. They concluded that it improved treatment outcomes at 3 and 6 months post-therapy.

Membrane BioReactor (Membrane BioReactor, MBR) is a new type of wastewater treatment process that combines membrane separation technology and bioreactor. According to the installation position of the membrane separation module, it can be divided into two categories: separate MBR and integrated MBR.
MBR is a kind of new type sewage treatment technique which combine high efficient membrane separation technique and activated sludge manner, it inherit membrane separation technique and biochemical treatment technique feature and intensify biochemical treatment effect, it can used in high organic content municipal or industrial sewage treatment.
1. The MBR process uses membrane modules to replace the secondary settling tank in the traditional activated sludge process, which can carry out efficient solid-liquid separation and overcome the insufficient stability of the effluent quality in the traditional process and the easy expansion of sludge.
2. Strong impact resistance, high-quality and stable effluent water quality, can completely remove SS, and also have a good interception effect on bacteria and viruses.
3. Realize the complete separation of the reactor hydraulic retention time (HRT) and sludge age (SRT), making the operation control more flexible and stable.
4. The concentration of microorganisms in the bioreactor is high, which can be as high as 10g/L or more. The volume load of the treatment device is high, and the floor space is small, which reduces the volume required for nitrification.
5. It is conducive to the interception and growth of slow proliferation microorganisms, and the system nitrification efficiency is improved. It can prolong the hydraulic retention time of some refractory organics in the system, which is beneficial to improve the degradation efficiency of refractory organics.
6. The output of MBR surplus sludge is low, and even no surplus sludge is discharged, which reduces the cost of sludge treatment.

We Need to Talk About Kevin: A Novel (Paperback)
"Impossible to put down. . . . Who, in the end, needs to talk about Kevin? Maybe we all do.” — Boston Globe
Acclaimed author Lionel Shriver's gripping international bestseller about motherhood gone awry
Shriver’s resonant story of a mother’s unsettling quest to understand her teenage son’s deadly violence, her own ambivalence toward motherhood, and the explosive link between them reverberates with the haunting power of high hopes shattered by dark realities.
Eva never really wanted to be a mother—and certainly not the mother of the unlovable boy who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker, and a much-adored teacher who tried to befriend him, all two days before his sixteenth birthday. Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career, family, parenthood, and Kevin’s horrific rampage in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her estranged husband, Franklin. Uneasy with the sacrifices and social demotion of motherhood from the start, Eva fears that her alarming dislike for her own son may be responsible for driving him so nihilistically off the rails.
Like Shriver’s charged and incisive later novels, including So Much for That and The Post-Birthday World, We Need to Talk About Kevin is a piercing, unforgettable, and penetrating exploration of violence, family ties, and responsibility.
About the Author
Although Lionel Shriver has published many novels, a collection of essays, and a column in the Spectator since 2017, and her journalism has been featured in publications including the Guardian, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, she in no way wishes for the inclusion of this information to imply that she is more “intelligent” or “accomplished” than anyone else. The outdated meritocracy of intellectual achievement has made her a bestselling author multiple times and accorded her awards, including the Orange Prize, but she accepts that all of these accidental accolades are basically meaningless. She lives in Portugal and Brooklyn, New York.
“Ms. Shriver takes a calculated risk . . . but the gamble pays off as she strikes a tone of compelling intimacy.” — Wall Street Journal
“Furiously imagined.” — Seattle Times
“An underground feminist hit.” — New York Observer

EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — Thousands of trains have passed directly behind CeramFab since the business was established in 2017, but workers never gave much thought to what came down the tracks until February 3, when a 100-car Norfolk Southern train derailed right behind the business and turned the operation — and their lives — upside down.
Employees at the 80,000-square-foot glass, ceramics, and concrete manufacturing facility, which supplies insulation materials for the steel industry, had front-row seats in the tiny eastern Ohio town of 4,700 when local and state authorities ordered a controlled burn of industrial chemicals on tanker cars. Officials said the burn was necessary to decrease the risk of an explosion, which could have sent shrapnel throughout the small town.
“It was like the devil was dancing and having a party,” office manager Cindy Davies told The Daily Wire. “It was terrifying.”
Davies watched as authorities ignited the volatile freight, which included up to a million pounds of vinyl chloride, a known human carcinogen. The blaze sent a massive plume of black smoke billowing skyward, visible throughout eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania.
Two weeks later, Davies surveyed the wreckage site where charred tanker cars lay strewn about on either side of the tracks.
“That was their safest option,” she said, recounting what authorities had explained. “If they were to let the flashpoint build up pressure, then it would have exploded and caused a chain reaction. It would have done a lot more damage in the area and potentially killed somebody with the shrapnel and everything else.”
“It was the best of the worst situation I guess,” Davies added. “I don’t know.”
Beyond the release of vinyl chloride, Norfolk Southern warned the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that a number of other dangerous chemicals were present at the derailment site. One train car containing ethylene glycol monobutyl ether currently has an “unknown status,” according to Norfolk Southern, while the amount of ethylhexyl acrylate in another car is still “pending.”
EPA officials and Norfolk Southern Railroad released a list of chemicals and hazardous materials after residents were told they could return to their homes.
The accident, decision, and aftermath are now being discussed as one of the biggest environmental disasters in U.S. history.
Residents, like Davies and CeramFab’s dozen employees, have been suffering physical symptoms since the fire, including headaches, sore throats, and digestive issues — not to mention the lingering taste of chemicals, which can be tasted almost instantly when close enough to ground zero.
The immediate effects of the intentional release and burn of toxic chemicals raise more questions about the long-term health issues of East Palestine residents and the town’s very future. There is concern the soil and groundwater may be contaminated for miles around.
“I think it won’t go back to normal for a long time because I think a lot of people will still have fears about the air quality and the water quality,” Davies said, adding the residents are concerned about ground contamination potentially impacting several creeks, farms, and homesteads.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine said residents should not be concerned about air quality based on the readings of 20 monitors strategically placed and periodically moved throughout the community. DeWine also told local media the city’s five municipal water wells that transport water to residents are tested daily, which he said continues to show the water is safe to drink. Another 38 private wells have also reportedly been deemed safe to drink from.
But there are signs all is not right around East Palestine. Mary Mertz, director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, said at a Feb. 14 news conference that approximately 3,500 fish across 12 species have died in creeks and streams near East Palestine.
Teresa McGuire, director of the Columbiana County Humane Society, told the Herald-Star that over 20 different families have reported that some of the animals had been impacted by toxic chemicals, with some being diagnosed with vinyl chloride poisoning.
Yet, the messaging from state and federal officials and agencies leaves residents of the small Ohio town feeling unsettled, with mixed signals from airwaves and social media posts that the air and water are safe, but stay inside and only drink bottled water.
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that the water and air are safe in East Palestine, but admitted that residents are “right to be skeptical.”
“We think the water’s safe,” Brown said. “But when you return to your home, you should be tested again for your water and your soil and your air, not to mention those that have their own wells.”
Despite multiple state and federal agencies insisting that the air and water supplies were not affected by the train derailment, residents and first responders have likewise noted a lingering smell in the air, an oily chemical sheen in local creeks and rivers, and sudden deaths among wildlife and livestock.
Small towns in America are unprepared for such disasters and East Palestine raised awareness of the issue on a national and international scale, Davies at CeramFab, said.
“It’s international news, and the response and the pouring in of people caring because they realized the situation,” she said. “It’s just overwhelming and touching.”
However, aside from watching a massive fire burn chemicals right behind her factory, she felt grateful that officials decided to authorize the controlled burn rather than facing the risk of an explosion and praised the first responders.
“I’m getting choked up now,” Davies said as her eyes welled up with tears. “But, you appreciate it, and I appreciate the first responders.”

Police chiefs, sheriffs, emergency communications professionals and others plan a lobbying blitz next week on Capitol Hill to persuade lawmakers to reallocate a block of spectrum for the creation of a nationwide interoperable public safety broadband network.
Members of the Public Safety Alliance plan to meet with lawmakers to urge senators to introduce companion legislation to a bill offered by House Homeland Security ranking member Peter King, R-N.Y. that would allocate the so-called D-block spectrum to public safety officials.
The alliance opposes a proposal from the Federal Communications Commission to auction off the block to commercial bidders and use the proceeds to help finance the creation of a nationwide interoperable public safety broadband network. The FCC also has called for allocating 10 megahertz of spectrum for the network and also giving public safety officials priority access to roam on commercial networks during emergencies.
House Energy and Commerce Communications Subcommittee Chairman Rick Boucher, D-Va., is crafting a bill that would implement the FCC's plans and also authorize additional funding for the public safety network to make up for any shortfalls from the auction of the D-block.
The FCC's proposal is backed by some public safety groups including the Fraternal Order of Police and the International Association of Firefighters. James Barnett, chief of the FCC's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, recently said the FCC's plan is aimed at ensuring a national interoperable broadband public safety network moves from "talk to reality," by providing a funding source for the network that the commission said could cost as much as $16 billion to build.
The alliance, however, has argued FCC's proposal is inadequate to meet public safety officials' needs and they need more than the 10 megahertz of spectrum for a public safety network.

Conclusion. In "The Fight to Save the River," host Bill Moyers examines efforts by environmentalists to clean up the Hudson since the 1960s, from stopping construction of a power plant at Storm King Mountain to battling GE over PCB dredging (ex-GE chairman Jack Welch gives the company's side). "If there's hope for the human race, there's hope for the Hudson," folksinger Pete Seeger said in 1966 as he launched the sloop Clearwater. It has inspired environmentalists along the river ever since.

A suburban man was convicted by a federal jury of operating a heroin sales ring for nearly six years and using the proceeds to buy jewelry, cars and suburban properties.
David Price, 34, was living in Brookfield at the time of his arrest, but federal prosecutors said he had lived in Lombard, Country Club Hills, Darien and Bolingbrook at various times while he ran the heroin distribution ring that operated on Chicago's west side.
Federal authorities said the government's bid to seize Price's assets -- including a $35,000 22-karat diamond-encrusted watch, real estate holdings and $1.1 million in cash -- is still pending.
Jurors took about an hour to deliberate before finding Price guilty Wednesday morning.
Price is facing a mandatory minimum of 20 years in prison and could receive a life sentence, prosecutors said. Sentencing is set for July 30.

Title: The Uncertain Fate of Earth: A Look at the Possibility of Destruction
As we gaze upon the night sky, our planet Earth stands as a beacon of life in the vast universe. Yet, hidden beneath its beauty lies a question that has fascinated and haunted scientists and thinkers alike for generations: Will Earth be destroyed? While the future remains uncertain, examining the potential threats to our planet can help us better understand the challenges we may face and the steps we can take to safeguard our home.
1. Natural Catastrophes
Throughout its history, Earth has endured numerous natural cataclysms that have shaped its evolution. Events such as asteroid impacts, volcanic eruptions, and seismic activity have left their mark on our planet. Although such occurrences are rare in human timescales, the possibility of another catastrophic event can never be ruled out. Scientists actively monitor celestial bodies, assess seismic activities, and study geological phenomena to gain insights into potential threats and devise strategies to mitigate their impact.
2. Human-Induced Risks
As humanity has evolved and expanded its technological prowess, it has inadvertently introduced new risks to Earth's well-being. The escalating threat of climate change, deforestation, pollution, and the depletion of natural resources loom large on the horizon. These human-induced risks have far-reaching consequences for the planet's ecosystems, biodiversity, and overall stability. However, concerted global efforts to combat these challenges through sustainable practices, conservation, and international cooperation can help mitigate their adverse effects.
3. Cosmic Events
Beyond the bounds of our own planet, the cosmos holds hidden dangers that might pose a threat to Earth. Gamma-ray bursts, massive solar flares, or nearby supernovae explosions are examples of cosmic events that could have catastrophic consequences for our planet. While the probability of such events occurring in our vicinity is low, understanding these phenomena and developing early warning systems can help prepare us for any potential impacts.
4. The Sun's Future
Our Sun, the source of life for all living beings on Earth, has its own life cycle. As it ages, it will eventually enter the later stages of its existence, leading to a transformation into a red giant. During this phase, the Sun will expand, engulfing Mercury, Venus, and potentially even Earth. This event is estimated to occur in around 5 billion years, which gives us plenty of time to prepare and, perhaps, find a way to move our civilization beyond the confines of our solar system.
5. Human Endeavors in Space
In the quest for exploration and survival, humanity has looked to the stars and considered the possibility of space colonization. The establishment of self-sustaining colonies on other planets or celestial bodies could serve as a safeguard for the survival of our species, even if Earth were to face destruction. Although this remains a distant possibility, our advancements in space technology and continued space missions bring us closer to realizing this dream.
The fate of Earth hangs in the balance between the marvels of the cosmos and the actions of its inhabitants. While we cannot predict with certainty whether our planet will be destroyed, we can embrace the responsibility to protect and preserve the fragile gift of life we have been bestowed. By fostering environmental stewardship, scientific discovery, and global cooperation, we can strive to safeguard Earth from the risks it faces and ensure a brighter, more sustainable future for generations to come. Remember, the destiny of our world lies in our hands.


Message from JP Allen –
“As far as harmonica goes, Adam Gussow is a global phenomenon. He first caught my attention in his mind blowing duo, Satan and Adam. Then he offered the harmonica world a massive contribution through his instructional harmonica videos on YouTube.
Thank you Adam! Thank you for being my friend, my teacher… and thank you for bringing a whole lot of fun into my world and to the lives of so many harmonica players!” Your buddy, JP
If you don’t already know him, well Adam is one of the finest blues harmonica players of this era. He is also a teacher who is generously sharing his art and knowledge with all of us. I’m writing this post to honor him for inspiring and teaching us for so many years!
Some background about Adam:
Adam was born and raised in suburban New York. He completed his undergraduate studies at Princeton University in 1979. After graduating, he met harmonica player Nat Riddles and started taking lessons from him. Nat Riddles honed his playing by teaching him the ins and outs of blues harmonica and transformed him into a true blues man.
In the mid-’80s, Adam met blues singer and guitarist Sterling “Mr. Satan” Magee on the streets of New York City, and the two started playing on the street of New York. Their duo quickly became famous, and took a prominent place in the New York blues scene. For the next twelve years, they toured and performed all over the world and released three albums as “Satan and Adam” – Harlem Blues (1992), Mother Mojo (1993) and Living on the River (1996)
In 2007, Adam started the “Dirty-South Blues Harp” channel on YouTube with the decision to “give it all away”. His channel quickly became very popular amongst harmonica players and created a following of thousands of subscribers worldwide.
The videos that Adam puts on his channel are pure gems for a disciple of the blues harmonica. If you want to learn the secrets of blues harmonica, you have to check out what he is doing. Through his YouTube channel and his website (ModernBluesHarmonica.com), Adam is providing top-notch harmonica instructions in the form of downloadable videos and tab sheets for everyone.
Adam’s first solo album, “Kick and Stomp.” Sitting behind a foot drum with a harmonica in hand, Adam goes solo and does a one man band act doing everything – singing, blowing amplified harp, and stomping some thumpy rhythms on this CD. Here’s a video of Adam playing “Crossroad Blues” that’s on the album:
Adam also released an album under the duo, The Blues Doctors. It’s called “Roosters Happy Hour”. Check Here to check it out.
Adam has also released an unabridged audiobook version of his blues memoir, Mister Satan’s Apprentice. Check Here to check it out.
He’s just amazing. His energy and passion seem to overflow! I really respect and admire Adam Gussow for the work that he’s doing. He’s a constant source of inspiration for me, and for countless harmonica players all over the world. I hope he continues his work for many more years to come. Thank you Adam!
