Break 1: MOG – PEGGY SLAPPY
STORY 1: Implant that turns brain signals into words could give a voice to those unable to talk
A new brain implant, the size of a postage stamp and containing 256 microscopic sensors, can decode brain signals from the speech center to predict what sounds someone is trying to say. This technology allows thoughts to be turned into words, potentially giving a voice to those unable to speak, including individuals with 'locked-in' syndrome and motor disorders. The device was successfully tested on four patients requiring brain surgery, showing the potential to significantly improve communication for people with speech impairments. Researchers are now working on a cordless version of the implant to enhance mobility and convenience.
STORY 2: Duluth police charge Lawrenceville man with elder abuse after mother found in unsanitary environment
A Lawrenceville man, Tony Sherman, is facing accusations of elder abuse after Duluth police found his emaciated and neglected elderly mother in her home. Officers were called to her residence on October 18 by maintenance workers who found her lying in bed, unresponsive and covered in urine. She is in her late 80s. The mother was living in deplorable conditions, with open sores and scabs on her lower back, malnutrition, and poor hygiene. She was eventually taken to the hospital. Sherman had given inconsistent statements about their living arrangements and caregiving, leading to his arrest on charges of abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a disabled or elderly person.

Break 2: TOM WAGES – DTL – GCPS
STORY 4: Hamilton Mill apartments proposal sparks push to create City of Mill Creek in northeast Gwinnett
Georgia House Majority Leader Chuck Efstration has proposed the creation of the City of Mill Creek in northeast Gwinnett. The new city is being suggested in response to concerns over zoning issues, such as high-density developments and apartment complexes. If the bill to create the city is approved by the General Assembly, a referendum will be held to let voters decide if the city should be established. The proposed city could potentially be Gwinnett's second-largest, with an estimated population of about 35,000 residents. It is seen as a way to address the community's concerns and have more local control over planning and zoning issues.
STORY 5: John M. Crisp: 3 very dangerous zombie lies
The author discusses the concept of "zombie lies," which are demonstrably false ideas that persist in society. They give examples, including right-wing economic theories, election denial, and the notion that the type of weapon used in a killing is irrelevant. The article highlights the danger of these lies, with the first perpetuating wealth inequality, the second undermining faith in democracy, and the third contributing to the persistence of mass shootings. The author suggests that these lies endure due to the willingness of a minority to believe in them and an indifferent or compliant majority that allows them to persist, resulting in societal harm.

Break 3: ESOG – Ingles 4 – Jackson EMC
STORY 6: Zoonotic diseases set to kill 12 times more people by 2050: study
New research warns that zoonotic infections, diseases spread from animals to humans, are increasing at an exponential rate and are predicted to kill 12 times more people in 2050 than in 2020 if current trends continue. Climate change and increasing urbanization are expected to drive the frequency of spillover events, where these diseases transfer to humans. The study focuses on four types of viruses, including Ebola and Marburg viruses, and shows that the number of spillover events and related deaths have been increasing annually between 1963 and 2019. Urgent action is needed to address the growing risk to global health posed by zoonotic infections.
STORY 7: Sugar Hill's First Dog Park is Now Open
Sugar Hill's newest park, Ridge Lake Park, was officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, offering 22 acres of greenspace and a small lake that will be stocked with bass next spring. The park includes Sugar Hill's first dog park and a picnic pavilion, with plans for a dock, gazebo, walking trails, and a disc golf course in the second phase, to be completed by spring. The land was purchased to preserve greenspace along Highway 20. City officials emphasize the importance of protecting greenspace and have added 300 acres of park space in the past two decades.
We’ll have final thoughts after this.
