a public radio demonstration in London showed
a working television system by transmitting moving
silhouettes and faces to an audience. dazzling

and broadcasters to pursue commercial television
development. So now you know. And now, it's time

news, gas prices in San Diego have dropped to
their lowest since 2021, following a decline
over the last two months. Despite this, many
San Diego drivers are still feeling the pinch
at the pump, as the average cost remains around
$4. According to Gas Buddy, the cheapest gas
can be found in North County, with prices as
low as $3 in Oceanside. The Auto Club anticipates

Mike Tomlin has no interest in shifting the weight
of the Pittsburgh Steelers' recent playoff failures
onto his players ahead of tonight's game against
Houston. Tomlin stated, I'm certainly not going
to unpack my bags on the collective's bed, if
you will." The Steelers, with a record of 10
wins and 7 losses, are facing a Texans team on
a 9 -game winning streak. Aaron Rodgers acknowledged
the pressure on Tomlin, saying, it feels good
to shut all those comments down. Steelers wide
receiver GK Metcalf returns after a suspension,
expressing gratitude to his teammates. Houston's
coach, D 'Amico Ryans, is confident in his players'
ability to win, stating, our guys know how to
win football games. Kickoff is at 8 .15 on ESPN
in local sports. The New England Patriots, led
by coach Mike Frable, celebrated their first
playoff victory since the 2018 season, defeating
the Los Angeles Chargers 16 -3 in the wild card
round. Milton Williams secured the win with a
critical sack on Justin Herbert, celebrating
with a headbutt that left Vrabel bloodied. Drake

the Patriots' defense dominated, sacking Herbert
six times. Herbert, who was recovering from surgery,
struggled, finishing with 159 yards, passing
as the Chargers ended their season without a
touchdown in the playoffs. Next up for the Patriots
is a divisional matchup against either Pittsburgh
or Houston. In top news, new research is shedding
light on surprising ways to reduce chronic inflammation,
including suggestions as simple as flossing your
teeth. Inflammation is normally beneficial, triggered
by the immune system to help the body fight illness
and repair injuries. However, when inflammation
becomes chronic, it can lead to serious health
issues. David L. Katz explains that chronic inflammation
is a key pathway to major chronic diseases, like
cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Fortunately,
simple lifestyle modifications can help reduce
inflammation, such as managing stress, exercising
regularly, and improving oral hygiene. Engaging
with nature and cultivating strong social connections
can also be beneficial. In business news, living
with family is not a last resort anymore. It's
the plan. As the cost of living rises for Americans,
many are moving back in with their families.
However, a growing number of solo agers do not
have this option. Purpose -built intergenerational
communities are a promising solution. The number
of people living in multi -generational households
quadrupled from 1971 to 2021, according to Pew
Research. Cost savings are driving this trend,
allowing families to split expenses and reduce
social isolation. Experts warn that there is
no one -size -fits all housing solution, as individuals
have vastly different needs and preferences.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is up 1 % over the
weekend to $92 ,000. Ethereum is up 1 % to just

tech. Job seekers are discovering a new source
of income, training artificial intelligence to
perform their former roles. Mercor, an artificial
intelligence startup valued at $10 billion, employs
tens of thousands of white -collar contractors.
These workers review and critique the output
of large language models that power chatbots
and other tools. Experts in various fields are
sought, including psychologists and filmmakers,
with earnings up to $250 an hour. Despite concerns
about job losses, many see their role in ensuring
AI produces thoughtful outcomes. The nature of
this work raises questions about the future of
employment in their fields. The Golden Globes
has made a concerted effort to improve its reputation
after a controversy over its membership in 2021
led to a temporary suspension of the telecast.
Under new ownership, structural changes have
been implemented, including no longer paying
a salary to legacy voters. Nikki Glaser's charming
hosting managed to balance humor and excitement,

distracting stunts like statistics from polymarket

too many contradictory aims, the gloat's risks
frustrating its audience while attempting to
grow. Well, all righty, folks. It's time for
