Obama in Talks to Provide Shows for Netflix
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/08/us/politics/obama-netflix-shows.html
WASHINGTON — Former President Barack Obama is in advanced negotiations with Netflix to produce a series of high-profile shows that will provide him a global platform after his departure from the White House, according to people familiar with the discussions.
Under terms of a proposed deal, which is not yet final, Netflix would pay Mr. Obama and his wife, Michelle, for exclusive content that would be available only on the streaming service, which has nearly 118 million subscribers around the world. The number of episodes and the formats for the shows have not been decided.
Will And Jaden Smith’s Company To Donate Water To Flint Until Lead Levels Drop
Will and Jaden Smith’s eco-friendly water company, JUST, is vowing to donate water each month to Flint, Michigan, schools until the city’s water is drinkable again.
The company has already donated 9,200 bottles to Flint. After reading about how the city’s water crisis affected its public schools, JUST’s CEO, Ira Laufer, decided the donations were simply necessary.
“This just makes sense for us to do,” Laufer told MLive. “After reading more about [Flint’s] challenges and the mayor objecting to pulling bottled water from the schools, we thought, ‘Let’s help these kids.’”
raceAhead: A New Nielsen Report Puts Black Buying Power at $1.2 Trillion
http://fortune.com/2018/02/28/raceahead-nielsen-report-black-buying-power/
A new report from Nielsen on the current buying power of consumers of color offers a fascinating look at how we’re spending our money. For one, we seem to be eating a lot of vegetables.
For another, we’re shaping markets.
In the report Black Dollars Matter: The Sales Impact of Black Consumers, the message is clear: While African Americans make up just 14% of the population, we are responsible for some $1.2 trillion in purchases annually. Further, consumers of color are showing an outsized influence in several key consumer categories, and are increasingly demanding that businesses do and be better.
In some cases, black consumers make up over 50% of overall spending, such as the category of dry grains and vegetables. But other categories are stand-outs as well, like baby food (42.76%) personal soap and bath needs (41.64%) and air fresheners and deodorizers (38.29%).

California no longer will suspend driver’s licenses for traffic fines
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-driver-license-fees-20170629-story.html
Californians no longer will face losing their driver’s licenses because of unpaid traffic fines starting next month.
Gov. Jerry Brown said the punishment doesn’t help the state collect unpaid fines and can send low-income people into a cycle of job losses and more poverty.

Toys R Us To Close All Of Its U.S. Stores
http://ksfm.radio.com/blogs/bre/toys-r-us-close-all-its-us-stores
According to news reports, the biggest toy store in the world at one time, Toys R Us is planning to close its doors in the U.S. The store, which was founded in 1948, has not found a buyer to restructure the business.
The company reportedly took out a $3.1 billion loan to keep the stores open during the holidays with hopes to turn the store around. Unfortunately, Christmas sales were the worst ever because of the new way of retail, A.K.A. shopping online!
Many toy makers and toy companies such as Hasbro and Mattel will be affected severely.
Toys R Us has officially entered bankruptcy and will most likely soon be closing its U.S. stores officially.

DENTAL FILLINGS HEAL TEETH WITH STEM CELLS
http://www.newsweek.com/dental-fillings-heal-teeth-stem-cells-harvard-cavities-477415
Regenerative dental fillings that allow teeth to heal themselves have been developed by researchers, potentially eliminating the need for root canals.
The treatment, developed by scientists from the University of Nottingham and Harvard University, earned a prize from the Royal Society of Chemistry after judges described it as a “new paradigm for dental treatments.”
The tooth filling works by stimulating stem cells to encourage the growth of dentin—the bony material that makes up the majority of the tooth—allowing patients to effectively regrow teeth that are damaged through dental disease.
MWC 2018: Smell-sensing CAT S61 smartphone sniffs out glue
