Tiësto and Mariah Carey recently performed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the first time ever, becoming some of the most high profile acts to perform in the country. While attendees undoubtedly enjoyed a great night of music, the show has stirred up some major controversy.
Multiple artists are receiving backlash for performing while human rights activists are behind bars, including David Guetta. There are multiple reports of cruel and inhumane treatment by the Saudi government, even threats to the lives of people fighting for women’s rights. Here’s just one report that details the ongoing struggle.
In the midst of this ethical outrage, Saudi Arabia looks to become one of the world’s leading entertainment capitals in 2019, hence the increase of concerts and events across the country. Officials just announced their aim to “usher in a Year of Entertainment in 2019” and become a “top 10 destination for entertainment.”
Mariah Carey is one of the main artists being bashed for her performance, particularly because she’s a strong female figure and the first woman to take the stage in Saudi Arabia. She, however, stands by her decision and sees her appearance as “a positive step towards the dissolution of gender segregation.”
Her spokesperson says, “As the first female international artist to perform in Saudi Arabia, Mariah recognizes the cultural significance of this event and will continue to support global efforts towards equality for all.”
See some of the comments below.
Hi @MariahCarey
Remember, thanks to my sister @LoujainHathloul, you r able to perform in Saudi Arabia.
I wish she can attend your concert. But she’s locked behind bars because she tried to improve women’s condition.
Don’ forget to thank her on stagehttps://t.co/0Pf7bfz3yB

Disgusting that @davidguetta is not only performing in #Saudi, but playing songs praising the king – while leading human rights defenders are in prison, and we have reports that the women human rights defenders have been subjected to #torture. #Shame t.co/aTwKnH4hzu

WOW! Yamla Pagla Deewana 3 goes on floors
Sunny Deol and brother Bobby Deol are gearing up for the release of Poster Boys, that is releasing next month, on September 8. But, they have quietly started work on Yamla Pagla Deewana 3 without any attention and fanfare. The film went on floors on Thursday, August 10 in Hyderabad.
Navaniat Singh, a well-known Punjabi filmmaker, is the director. Sunny Deol is the producer along with Jayantilal Gada, owner of PEN India Ltd. Sunny Deol, however, hasn’t started shooting for the film. It’s Bobby Deol and Dharmendra who are filming for the film at present and Sunny Deol is expected to join his father and brother soon.
Bobby Deol took to Twitter today in the evening to share a picture from the sets. It features him with his father and both are seated on a scooter with a sidecar. The two-wheeler and the fact that there’s Dharmendra immediately reminds one of the 1975 classic Sholay. “Yamla and Deewana waiting for the Pagla to join … on set YPD – phir se!!” is the caption along with the picture.
Yamla Pagla Deewana released in 2011 and featured all three from the Deol family. It was directed by Samir Karnik and proved to be a huge hit. The sequel, Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, directed by Sangeeth Sivan released in 2013 and it proved to be a flop at the box office. It remains to be seen if the third instalment manages to succeed at the box office.

Calvin Harris‘ luxury studio and home in Hollywood Hills is reportedly up for sale. Just 16 months after buying his new pad, the renowned DJ/producer is ready to move on.
The home could be yours for $5.75 million or a $25,000 per month lease. It boasts 6,000 square feet, including four bedrooms, six bathrooms, a full in-home recording studio and two-story music room. For a music producer or collector, this is the spot!
The amenities continue: living spaces in varying styles, family room with a wet bar, a spiral staircase, swimming pool and outdoor shower, plus a spacious deck and views of city lights.
According to LA Times, Tom Rothrock sold the residence to Steve Angello in 2013 for $3.9 million — and the value has only jumped from there. Angello sold to Harris for $5.045 million after four more years and the market price has spiked significantly since then.
Which hitmaker will live here next?!

Sea of Dreams
It’s been nearly two weeks since Sea of Thieves set sail on Xbox One and PC and it turns out being a pirate is pretty damn fun. But, the pirate life isn’t for everyone. Whilst Sea of Thieves has been tickling the pirate fantasies for some, others are exclaiming that the game is boring. And I have a theory – the game isn’t boring, gamers are. This isn’t some playground riposte, nor do I have enough evidence to back up this lofty claim, so stay with me here.
The very first video games were based largely on real-life activities. Misc. sports were the first to get digital makeovers with the most famous being Pong. With each of these games, there was a definitive winner and loser based on who had the most points. In fact, most of the early games focused on getting a high score to win. Once video game systems became more common in households there was also a shift in creativity. Games were no longer based on real-life mechanics and instead offered up something different. The rise of platform gaming saw a change from competitive gameplay, and the tracking of a score was very much pushed into the background. But platform games still had a definitive goal. Instead of earning points, gamers gained a sense of achievement by making it to the end of a level. These two types of games have coexisted for a long time, exposing us to the idea that games have to have a goal to be a game. Whilst we play games for the enjoyment it feels empty if we aren’t rewarded with high scores, completing levels or beating a friend. We’re so used to this input/output system of play that when a game challenges this method of play we aren’t sure how to handle it.
Enter Sea of Thieves, a game that does exactly that. Its reception hasn’t been favourable with the main negative being that there isn’t much to do. And that’s technically correct if you look at the game in a traditional sense. There’s no narrative, no background for your character and missions are present but bare, if not plentiful. Yet for all its “downfalls” it offers something many games do not. It offers true sandbox gameplay.
Sandbox games are those in which you’re given free reigns of a virtual playground to do whatever you chose. The term itself [sandbox] is a reference to your childhood sandbox, a play zone where you assume the role of creator. If you were like me you’d spend hours playing with action figures, toys and sticks in this metaphorical sandbox (I didn’t have one personally). These playthings barely functioned, save posable limbs or plastic launching mechanics which would become redundant after the first shot due to missing pieces. The joy of playing with them, though, was that you’d be able to craft an adventure from nothing. You could go on epic escapades (usually up and down the stairs) and direct stories and narrative by using the power of your imagination. And this is something that Sea of Thieves wants you to do. It wants you to go back to that child-like mental state of being able to create your own stories. It’s a game that begs to be played from your imagination but because we’re so wrapped up in games needing a “point”, it’s difficult for us to adapt to it. We play games for many reasons but without purpose, it feels like a wasted task.
It all sounds incredibly grandiose, I know that, but there is evidence of this not only from Sea of Thieves but other titles before it. No Man’s Sky is a prime example of this. There were other issues with No Man’s Sky launch that lent to its negative reception but it too was described as being hollow. But that wasn’t the case. In a similar vein to Sea of Thieves, No Man’s Sky gave you a playground, albeit near infinite in size, and it was up to you to find enjoyment in it. The game gave you the opportunity to do whatever you chose. Whether you assumed the role of a pirate, attacking Freighters or kept it low-key as an explorer focusing on zoology or botany, was your choice. There was no following of orders or sticking to a path etched into the game’s design. And this true of Sea of Thieves. There are no rules. You can play exactly how you want to. You can pitch up at an Outpost and offer to help folks for the exchange of treasure. You can decide to sail the seas, plundering all that come across your path. Heck, you can even unwind on the sea and simply relax. The game allows you to do this but it doesn’t force it upon you. We [gamers] need to tap into that child-like state again and dream up these scenarios, but we don’t, because, simply put, we are boring.
It’s difficult to combat something that we’ve become accustomed to but if we cast those ideas [of how a game should be] aside and tap into our meaty think boxes we’ll only find enjoyment. Don’t mistake my half-baked rambling as an excuse for some genuine complaints that gamers have for Sea of Thieves. Instead, see it as an observation of our habits as gamers. I feel that we’re lost without the mechanics that we’ve grown used to in video games and as a result dismiss otherwise genuinely great experiences. Sea of Thieves isn’t the perfect game. It’s the perfect opportunity to embrace your inner child and have fun. Forget what you know about games, set sail and enjoy yourselves. And at the end of the day if you still don’t enjoy it you can go always go back to Call of Duty 26.

One of the keys to becoming a successful investor is to find stocks that are considered cash cows. One of the most successful investors ever is Warren Buffett. He is one of the wealthiest people in the world, and he did it by spending his career picking cash cow-type stocks. In simple terms, his investment philosophy centers on recognizing a company’s ability to make money. He does not try to predict if or when the market will recognize the value of that company. Some of the things he looks for in a company include:
• A positive return on equity over the past five to ten years
• Very low debt to equity
• High and increasing profit margins for at least the past five years
• A company that has been in business for at least ten years
• A company with a wide economic moat such as name recognition or a product or service that separates them from their competitors
• A stock price that is at least 25% below the company’s intrinsic value
The last requirement is a little more complex to figure out and is beyond the scope of this article. Below are three companies that are not in Warren Buffett’s portfolio, but meet the requirements of a cash cow stock.
Alphabet
Google and YouTube have international name recognition, and Alphabet owns both companies. Google is the most popular search engine and most visited web page on the internet. Google has helped its parent company Alphabet reach a market cap of $800 billion through its advertising revenue. Alphabet also dominates the online video industry through its ownership of YouTube, which generates $9 billion per year in advertising revenue. In one recent quarter, Alphabet generated $27.2 billion in advertising revenue. The company also has around $102 billion in cash and marketable securities, and its debt is less than $4 billion.
McDonald’s
This company also has international name recognition. McDonald’s is best known for its hamburgers and fries, but the company makes its money on its franchise business model and on the real estate that has a McDonald’s restaurant. McDonald’s has a 2017 operating margin of 41.9%, which is higher than Alphabet’s 2017 operating margin of 26.1%. The company has $8 billion in before-tax income and $2.7 billion in cash-on-hand. This difference is the result of McDonald’s paying its shareholders a current dividend yield of 2.38%. McDonald’s has increased its dividend for 42 straight years, which is a sign of its cash cow status.
Philip Morris International
Tobacco and cigarettes may be out of fashion, but this hasn’t had too much of an effect on Philip Morris’s bottom line. In fact, when Philip Morris was a part of Altria, its stock was the top performing stock from 1965 to 2015, which includes dividend payments. Philip Morris has name recognition with its top-selling cigarette Marlboro, the cigarettes are inexpensive to make, and they are highly addictive. The company’s 2017 operating margin was 15.3% despite the high international excise tax and burdensome regulations. Without the excise tax and regulations, Philip Morris’s operating margins would be around 40%.

Yesterday, an apparent leak revealed some of the high profile headliners for Woodstock‘s 50th Anniversary event. Now, we’re learning of even more potential acts on the bill.
According to a report, Jay-Z, The Black Keys, Miley Cyrus, The Black Keys and Halsey have also been “confirmed by all parties involved.” This, according to an inside source.
It’s hard to simply take anyone’s word for it. Remember when the names Daft Punk, Swedish House Mafia, and Skrillex were being thrown around? On the other hand, this could truly be the lineup of the year.
If the rumors prove to be true, they will join The Killers, Chance the Rapper, Imagine Dragons, Dead and Company and Santana, and more. Well, that’s if the previous leak is also accurate.
There’s only one way to be 100% sure of Woodstock’s 50th lineup — and that’s to wait for the official announcement. A lineup reveal is expected within the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned.

With more than 30 years’ experience in the residential and commercial water treatment space, Mark Nelson is a Class 1 Drinking-Water Operator and a CBWA (Canadian Bottled Water Association) Certified Plant Operator. As founder and president of Nelson Water in Ottawa, Mark focuses on dealing with challenging water treatment system designs for problem water. He also heads the largest water bottling plant in the city of Ottawa with a delivery network throughout the Valley.
A lot of the information released regarding water related issues refers to organic and inorganic minerals. There are many differing opinions on the best sources for dietary minerals that compare the various merits of rock (inorganic) minerals sources and plant (organic) based sources. Everyone wants to be healthy, and we hear a great deal about the importance of vitamins and minerals. In fact, our bodies need almost 70 different minerals to stay healthy and perform essential functions. In this article, we will look a closer look at the difference between organic and inorganic minerals.
What are Organic Minerals?
Before we delve too deep, it’s a good idea to understand what we mean when we’re talking about an organic mineral. After all, the term itself seems to be contradictory, how can a mineral be organic? In this context, when we refer to a mineral as being organic, it means that the specific element is bonded to a carbon atom. Carbon is also an organic element, and all living creatures are carbon based lifeforms. So, a bond with a carbon atom could, in theory, make any element bioavailable and thus usable by a living organism. This is only conjectured at this point, and further research is needed to prove this theory.
We do know that our bodies are composed of 70% water, our mineral sources in nature have always been water based and sourced from the water we drink and the food that we eat. Organic minerals were once or are still alive, and their electrons (like those in a human body) spin in a clockwise direction. The cells in an organic mineral can form ionic bonds with the body, and they can break down to assist in bodily functions, including tissue repair.
What are Inorganic Minerals?
An inorganic mineral is a material that has never been alive; it has not been bonded with carbon, and it could never bring life to a cell. In fact, the body will treat these materials or metals as if they are a toxin. An inorganic mineral is tightly wound, and it cannot break down easily to assist the body. The electrons in this material spin in a counterclockwise direction and this makes them fundamentally out of sync with a human body.
Inorganic materials in nature are often removed from water by evaporation, where only the water is removed, leaving the inorganic minerals and chemicals behind. The modern water filtering processes in our homes mimic this natural phenomenon to give us a purer and safer drinking water.
As our water runs through the ground inorganic minerals are picked up and carried along. Water is an extremely effective solvent, and many materials can be easily dissolved in it. Inorganic minerals cannot be used by a human or animal life form, but plants can use these materials. In fact, plants are the organisms that can turn this material into an organic mineral via photosynthesis, but this is in no way beneficial in our drinking water.
The Dangers of Inorganic Minerals
Inorganic minerals and chemicals can harm us because they cannot be absorbed as a source of nutrition in our cell wall like organic minerals. But, this material has to go somewhere, so it gets deposited elsewhere in our bodies. These inorganic mineral deposits can cause a variety of health related issues depending on where they end up, such as clogged arteries, arthritis, gallstones, kidney related issues, and joint pains. A common inorganic mineral found in drinking water is Lime or calcium carbonate, and this is the same tough material found in cement. People that ingest large quantities of Lime can suffer from disfigured hands and fingers that are extremely painful.
An expert in this field, Dr. Norman W. Walker wrote a book on this subject. He discovered that a person drinking 1L of water each day over a seventy year period would ingest 90-136 kg of rock, which would include materials, such as magnesium and lime, that a human body simply cannot use. A great deal of this inorganic mineral material would be eliminated via excretory means, but some would still remain, and they could be a source of some of the health problems we mentioned earlier.
So, do you have any of these inorganic minerals present in your water supply? There is a simple experiment that you can carry out at home to check if you have a problem. Get a pot and fill it with tap water, leave it out in the sun and let the water evaporate away. As we mentioned above, this will only remove pure water or hydrogen, and oxygen and everything else will be left behind. If you discover that your pot contains mineral deposits, you may want to explore your water treatment options. A reverse osmosis filtration systems can remove inorganic minerals from your water supply.
Which is the Best Mineral Source?
There are some people that say that we can only use mineral elements if they are sourced from the food we eat, which would make them organic minerals. Others are adamant that ground rock based inorganic minerals are the best way to fulfill all of our mineral needs. There are even people that propose that liquid mineral sources, such as ionic supplements, sea water, and natural mineral water, are the best choice for health.
Sadly, thanks to pollution it would be extremely risky to drink seawater or water sourced directly from a mineral stream. Also, many of the foods that are grown today are somewhat deficient in many of the organic minerals that we need to stay healthy. This has occurred because of modern farming methods that use chemical fertilizers, pesticides and a lack of soil replenishment. Much of our food is processed to the point where it has little to no beneficial mineral and nutrient content.
The very best option available to us right now is to have a source of water clean from inorganic minerals. This can be achieved by installing a reverse osmosis filtration systems in your home. Organic whole foods should be eaten wherever possible to gain the maximum amount of organic minerals and nutrients possible. It’s also a good idea to supplement this healthier diet with a good ionic mineral supplement.

We understand it can be hard to find time after work to go to the gym. With school pick-ups and cooking dinner, then bedtime, it’s no wonder that you just want to crash on the couch by the time 8:30 hits. However, we also know the importance of exercise for both your oral and your overall health (yes, even for your oral health)!
Lack of exercise can lead to Type II diabetes, which can cause a host of health issues we treat including tooth decay and tooth loss. So, in order to get in those miles and raise your heart rate, we suggest getting in a lunchtime workout if you just can’t make it happen after work. Since many people have the opportunity to escape the office during the lunch hour, we have included our list of best tips and tricks on how to make this work and not come back a sweaty mess.
Come prepared
Since time is limited, it’s important to find a gym close to your office (if your office doesn’t have one of its own). If you’re looking for inspiration, try out Fort Worth’s many Orange Theory fitness locations for a heart pumping workout that will get you in and out fast.
Try looking for high intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts that are meant to be shorter in duration, but only because you push yourself to the max in every set of exercises. BURN Dallas offers 45-minute classes at noon. Make sure to book ahead since this is a popular time.
In addition to choosing a gym with lunchtime options, it’s important to be prepared with all the things you will need to work out with. Pack a bag with your clothes, shoes and a pre-filled water bottle, and leave it in your car in the morning. This way you can easily move from work to workout. If you know how long it takes you change at the studio out of your work clothes, then don’t deviate from that routine. Keep your routine as consistent as possible to streamline it and shave off precious minutes.
“Freshen up”
How to freshen up after a lunch time workout is one of the biggest hindrances to incorporating this into your daily routine. Many gyms offer showers so you can quickly rinse off. Consider applying dry shampoo to your hair for another time-saving trick. If your gym doesn’t offer a shower, there are lots of fresh wipes on the market that you can wipe down with after your session, too. While it doesn’t fully make up for not showering, it will at least prevent you from stinking up a room.
Dental benefits
We all know the cardiovascular benefits of working out, but what about the benefits to your mouth?
First, a higher body mass index (BMI) is correlated to oral health problems. For example, hypertension and diabetes reduce oxygen flow to the mouth, This leads to the constriction of blood vessels, which can lead to gum disease and tooth loss. Studies have shown that individuals who maintained a healthy BMI were 40% less likely to have periodontal disease.
It’s our goal to keep our patients’ whole body healthy. Getting the daily recommended amount of exercise is one way to accomplish this goal. Working out combined with a healthy diet is good for your teeth as well as the whole body.

Alternative Health Care is not a modern creation; it has, in reality, been in existence for centuries, in fact many people believe it predates written human history. So what is Alternative Health Care? In Western Culture it is frequently defined as “a healing method that does not fall within the field of conventional medicine”, e.g. medicine as practiced by M.Ds. and by allied health professionals.
Alternative Health Care includes major therapies such as:
Acupuncture an ancient Chinese procedure involving the insertion and manipulation of needles in the body. It is used to relieve pain, such as in rheumatic conditions and to treat many other illnesses.
Alexander Technique used to teach people how to use their bodies efficiently and effortlessly in everyday life; to use muscles in a relaxed way with a minimum of effort.
Aromatherapy and aromatherapy oils this is suitable for all age groups and is the art of applying essential oils, usually by massage. It can be used to treat many conditions, especially depression, anger, stress and linked conditions such as headaches.
Homeopathy This is a method of prescribing, using minerals, plants and sometimes animal remedies. It stimulates the natural healing process and as homeopathic remedies do not have side effects they can be used safely in pregnancy, young children and also elderly patients.

Aanand L. Rai voluntarily shortens Ayushmann Khuranna – Bhumi Pednekar’s kiss in Shub Mangal Saavdhan
Although director R S Prasanna’s Shubh Mangal Savdhaan is based on the theme of a sexual dysfunction, the film’s co-producer Aanand Rai was determined to keep the proceedings sundar swach and susheel.
Not a moment of suggestiveness has been allowed to creep up in the film’s playing time. In fact so determined was Aanand to keep the proceedings clean and above-board that he actually reduced the length of a vital lip lock between the lead pair.
Says the film’s leading man Ayushmann Khurrana, “Yes, we do have a kiss, and Aanand Sir has reduced its length. We don’t want Shubh Mangal Savdhaan be even remotely offensive to any section of the audience. It’s a film targeted at family audiences. And the kiss has been modified accordingly.”
This is not the first time that a filmmaker has opted for a voluntary cut to keep the family audience happy. In Jolly LLB 2, references to ‘Bata Shoe Company’ were removed by the film’s makers before being submitted to the audience. Even in the controversial Lipstick Under My Burkha the director chose to voluntarily reduce the length of a love-making scene.
In the recent A Gentleman, Sidharth Malhotra and Jacqueline Fernandez just wouldn’t stop kissing for a sequence even when the co-director ordered ‘cut’. So the kiss was cut on the editing table.

Plastic pollution is widely regarded as a pervasive problem with negative effects around the globe. In addition to the detrimental effects on marine life, contribution to climate change, and compromising our living environment, the production, use, and disposal of plastic is now impacting our water quality. One area of particular concern is microplastics.
What Are Microplastics?
Microplastics are tiny particles of plastic that are either intentionally produced for consumer products or created when larger debris is broken down. Perhaps the most pervasive type of microplastic is microfiber. This involves small strands of plastic being used to produce synthetic fabrics including nylon and polyester. When clothing made using these fabrics is washed, there is shedding of some of the microscopic fibers. Recent research into this phenomenon highlighted that up to 250 thousand fibers could be released in just a single wash.
The impact of microplastics comes from their tiny size. This size allows their ability to evade most forms of filter, and they can even enter the bloodstream of any organism which consumed them. Recent research into the area of water contamination found traces of microplastics in 83% of the tap water samples taken from major cities from around the world. The study also found traces in samples from the top 11 bottled water brands in the world.
While it is difficult to establish a causal link between the potential health impacts of exposure to microplastics without intentionally exposing human subjects, there has been an observable correlation between a higher rate of certain health problems and the presence of plastic substances in the blood, notably phthalates and BPA. Some of these issues include reproductive and chromosomal abnormalities, childhood obesity, increased blood pressure and early puberty.
Improving Our Drinking Water Quality
There are three areas to improve our drinking water quality from the threat of microplastics: Prevention to limit the amount of plastic reaching bodies of water, innovation to find new ways to remove plastics already in the water supply and activism to make people aware of the problem and participate in reducing consumption and plastic contamination.
While there are systemic solutions being developed, there are a few measures we can take to reduce our contribution to microplastic contamination and limit the risks of plastic related health problems. These include:
Proper Disposal of Plastics: Properly disposing of all plastic produces will not only reduce more obvious plastic pollution of waterways, beaches, and open spaces, but also prevent the creation of microplastics.
Pick Up Trash: Whenever you see trash, particularly plastics, it is crucial to pick it up and ensure it is disposed of properly. You should pay particular attention to areas around rivers, streams, ponds, and beaches. You could also participate in any organized clean up activities in your area.
Do Your Product Research: Research products and make a choice not to buy any products that contain microbeads. Look for brands that use natural exfoliators rather than microbeads.
Change Your Laundry Habits: There are a number of ways to wash your clothing to reduce the release of microfibers. This includes washing synthetic clothing less frequently, using a fiber filter when you wash synthetic clothing, using bags in your washing machine to collect fibers and not cleaning dryer lint down the drain. You should also consider switching to liquid laundry soap, as powder can loosen more microfibers. If you’re planning on upgrading your washing machine, opt for a front loading model as these produce fewer fibers compared to top loading models.
The Health Risks of Plastic in Drinking Water Supplies
While you may already be aware of the implications of plastics in seawater making their way into the food chain through marine animals, new research suggests that plastic fibers and particles are more common in drinking water supplies.
The research study was commissioned for publication by a media company and was not reviewed in a scientific journal, but it does highlight the need for further studies.
Many drinking water treatments may be ineffective at removing these particles. Sedimentation techniques, in particular, require particles such as silt and clay settling at the bottom of treatment tanks. Plastic microparticles have a lower density than water, so they will float and therefore not be removed.
Another concern is that we don’t understand what happens to plastic particles on entering the human gut. While it is possible that they may pass through the body without absorption like indigestible roughage, smaller particles have the potential to enter the bloodstream or even the cells.
Recent studies looked for particles that were larger than 2.5 microns. These are ten times smaller than the cells lining the gut, but nanoparticles 0.1 microns or smaller could enter the cells.
There is also concern that plastic microparticles may become carriers for other toxins to enter the human body. Generally, plastic microparticles repel water, but will bind with non-dissolving toxins. For example, microparticles can bind to compounds that contain toxic metals such as lead or mercury. If microparticles enter the human body, these toxins could start to accumulate in the fatty tissues.
Protecting Your Tap Water
There are several techniques that can be used to remove microplastics from tap water. This includes carbon block filtration that can remove particles larger than 0.5 microns. Since the smallest particles are typically 2.5 microns or bigger, this would do a credible job and is a readily available form of water treatment.
Another technique is electro-adhesion that is employed by pulsar disrupter filters to filter out sub micron level particles. This can not only remove bacteria, heavy metals, viruses, and cysts, but also plastics.
Finally, you may also wish to consider reverse osmosis. This technique uses a semi permeable membrane to separate water from contaminants as small as 0.0001 microns. A whole house R.O system can be used to ensure plastic exposure is significantly minimised or eliminated.
If you have concerns about microplastics in your water, it is important to speak to a water treatment professional. An experienced technician can assess your water quality and guide you through the treatment options to not only eliminate plastics, but any other contaminants that could be impacting your water quality.

Scientists find common genetic racial factor in our USA DNA.
Our society is rife with misinformation due to many fake news stories circulating the internet. In the current political climate, many question what exactly it means to be an “American” (from the United States). Racial tensions are high. Should we let refugees enter our country? What about immigrants? What is our very identity as a nation? In the world’s greatest “melting pot,” when should we stop adding to the recipe and start calling ourselves a bisque?
Well, as usual, science has the answer. Geneticists at the University of Maplewood recently found a gene to be present in 98% of Americans. Americans only – no other ethnicity has this gene. These findings suggest that we as a nation could actually be one race after all.
The Discovery of the American Race
Dr. JoAnne Foxe, who runs the Maplewood Genomics Institute, has been studying the human genome for 23 years. “I was shocked. This was an ancillary finding from a racial neurogenetics study. I almost overlooked it because I thought it sounded absurd. But after looking at the data, I can’t deny the science.”
Her team of 12 found that gene gAKP-2 is only present in the DNA of individuals who are third or later generation American citizens. The gene informs cognition and behavior.
“The gene expresses itself almost immediately in baby American citizens. It’s like Americans have emerged as a new race. Humans that possess this gene tend to have a stronger confidence in one’s own abilities,” says Foxe.
Further Investigation
Dr. Foxe’s team lead several studies to shed more light upon what the implications of this gene may be in every day life. One study of 24 cases (gAKP-2 present) and matching controls simply asked participants to fill out a brief survey of 20 questions that ranged from “what is the main ingredient in carpet?” to “what is blue?”
Both groups got around 45% of the questions right. When they received their grades, with the answers explained in detail, is when the behavior difference was witnessed.
“The case group almost always objected to the results, whether verbally or through physiological markers. There was an observable denial present that these answers were 100% wrong. In some cases, especially when the participant was male and the study administrator was female, the administrator would be trapped in conversation with the participant, who was adamant in explaining why lead is the leading ingredient in carpet,” Foxe observed.
Her research assistant, Jana Moore, remarked: “It truly was bizarre. In the control group people just wadded up their paper and asked for the $12 gift card to Quik Trip so they could get the fuck out of there. The case group took almost 3 times as long to complete the study, and at one point I actually just started screaming ‘YOU’RE WRONG! YOU ARE SO OBVIOUSLY WRONG! GRASS IS DEFINITELY NOT GREEN BECAUSE OF SNAKES YOU IDIOT!'”
Ms. Moore is an American born neuroscience doctoral student at the University, and is rumored to refuse citrus when offered because, “Look, I know it’s not really scientifically proven but my mom told me this lemon will burn a hole in my stomach and it’s better safe than sorry.”
When asked about future studies, French-born Dr. Foxe said, “I think it’s best we just let this one go.”

It’s National Suicide Prevention Week.
Experts, survivors, and family and friends of victims are using the days ahead to remember those lost and to develop strategies for prevention and intervention.
This renewed focus on suicide prevention couldn’t come at a more prescient time for America’s K-12 schools.
According to a recent study out of Vanderbilt University, first reported by USA Today, hospital admissions of children between 5 and 17 who had suicidal thoughts or harmed themselves doubled over the last decade. Another report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that suicides among 10-14 year-olds also doubled between 2007 and 2014.
While every case is different, many experts attribute the spike in youth suicide in part to increased childhood stress and unguarded access to information and media, including social media.
Schools are critical to stemming the tide of student self-harm, says Vanderbilt University’s Dr. Gregory Plemmons. “Education is really important,” he says. “Schools play a role, parents play a role.”

Starting the conversation
While public awareness has grown in recent years, deep-seated stigmas still make it difficult for children and adults to talk frankly about the causes and risks of suicide.
Kristen Kimball experienced that stigma firsthand. After her brother killed himself, Kimball said many of his friends refused to talk about his death.
In a recent post for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), which organizes National Suicide Prevention Week, Kimball explains how she sought to expand the conversation about, and reduce the stigma surrounding, youth suicide in schools.
“I have been working at high schools since my brother’s death, and every year, I do an assembly for the school about awareness surrounding mental health conditions and how to change our perspective on how we view them. My goal is to educate students while they are young and impress upon them the idea that mental health conditions are the same as any other physical condition that can be studied, diagnosed, and treated. It is important for our younger population to be educated if we want to change how our society thinks about it.”
Understanding the signs
But conversations about suicide can only go so far. While talking to students, school leaders and parents need to understand and be able to identify the warning signs, experts say.
AFSP recently released a helpful infographic that outlines the top signs of depression and suicide. The group breaks those signals out into three major categories: talk, mood, and behavior.
As you educate and engage students, be on the lookout for signs of students’ internal turmoil.
Prevention in action
At Temecula Valley Unified School District in California, two students who recognized and understood these warning signs may very well have helped save the lives of their fellow classmates.
After the district launched its Report Bullying initiative, which empowers students to report incidents of bullying through an online portal on the district’s website, two potential suicide concerns were reported by students within one month.
In one case, a student saw a Facebook post in which a classmate was contemplating suicide and reported it to administrators using the tool. A few days later, a second student wrote that her friend was talking about the possibility of committing suicide. In both cases, within minutes of the online reports, district administrators were able to enact a pre-emptive health and security policy designed to notify the parents and intervene ahead of potential tragedies.
As the threat of youth suicide continues to grow, school districts must ensure that students, administrators, teachers, and parents are prepared to engage each other in conversations about suicide and recognize potential warning signs.
Does your district have a plan and policy creating awareness about the dangers of youth suicide? What steps are you taking to empower students and others to engage in important conversations about emotional health and empathy? Tell us in the comments.
