ELIZA BLEU AND THE PERPETUAL TRAUMA MACHINE—PART 2

What if improving depression and lowering your risk of dementia was as simple as drinking more water?

Dehydration is usually linked to low blood pressure, increased heart rate, and headache. But it’s also related to these two unexpected diseases.

NEW YORK (AP) — After the relative quiet of the pandemic, New York City has come roaring back. Just listen: Jackhammers. Honking cars and trucks. Rumbling subway trains. Sirens. Shouting.

Over the years, there have been numerous efforts to quiet the cacophony. One of the latest: traffic cameras equipped with sound meters capable of identifying souped-up cars and motorbikes emitting an illegal amount of street noise.

At least 71 drivers have gotten tickets so far for violating noise rules during a yearlong pilot program of the system. The city’s Department of Environmental Protection now has plans to expand the use of the roadside sound meters.
