Dr. Linda Makuta, a holistic dentist practicing in Los Angeles for over 20 years, has launched an impassioned campaign demanding the complete removal of fluoride from the county’s municipal water supply.Citing mounting scientific evidence of fluoride’s toxicity, especially to children’s neurological development, Dr. Makuta is urging citizens to join her in pressuring local officials to stop fluoridating the water.Fluoride is an extremely toxic substance, even more poisonous than lead. In fact, fluoride is commonly used in pesticides and rat poison because of its potent toxicity. Accidental over-ingestion of fluoridated dental products has resulted in serious poisoning incidents and even death.“There is a very real threat to the health of Los Angelenos from fluoride in our drinking water. The fact that fluoridated toothpaste tubes warn users to call poison control if more than a pea-sized amount is swallowed shows how toxic this chemical truly is.” said Dr. Li...A Tranquil Peace Pervades on Ari Mediratta’s Joyous “Sixteen.”

Miller

Artist Adam D. Miller has his fingers in many pots. Literally. Best known to many as a co-founder of beloved Los Angeles and Palm Springs-based contemporary gallery The Pit, Miller is also an accomplished ceramicist on his own time. He is the force behind Reaperware—a line of functional ceramics for the home which are somehow both folksy and super Goth. And as an artist, his sensibility in the studio matches his gallery’s in a taste for elevated post-Pop work of skill and verve, equally embracing art historical gravitas and well-crafted wit and whimsy.Miller’s ceramics often take shape as vessels, frequently on a large-scale, whose corporeal curves, crusts, lumps, protrusions, and hand-soothed distresses reference and deconstruct the classical modality of the genre and amplify their relationship to the body—but whose zingy palettes and upbeat, comics-inspired imagery point to a joyful abandon and a set of meanings channeling the crazy sweetness of parenthood.

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 22:23:22 GMT
SANTA CLARA — Barring a substantial trade offer, it makes no sense for the 49ers to part ways with Trey Lance after two seasons.By substantial, we’re not talking about a conditional mid-round pick based on how much Lance actually plays for a new team. Unless someone comes calling with a second-round draft pick or something in the top 100, Lance should remain with the 49ers whether he winds up playing in 2023 or not.Coach Kyle Shanahan hasn’t divulged playing time plans for Friday night’s preseason finale against the Los Angeles Chargers, saying only that he expects the starters (including Brock Purdy) to get some snaps.I’m not sure how wise that is, but so be it. The more important task is to get a player desperately in need of developmental playing time what could be his last extended run in a 49ers uniform.Lance was decidedly better Saturday against the Broncos than he was against the Raiders in the preseason opener for reasons that go beyond his stat...Latest news
