Atlanta cracks down on illegal auto repair shops in residential neighborhoods
The Brief City officials issued citations to two homeowners in northwest Atlanta for allegedly running illegal auto repair shops in a residential area after years of complaints from residents. Neighbors have reported ongoing issues such as junk vehicles, oil-stained driveways, and safety hazards due to cars parked near a blind curve, despite repeated attempts to get city intervention. The homeowners are scheduled to appear in municipal court to respond to the citations, with residents hopeful for effective enforcement this time. ATLANTA - After years of complaints from residents in a northwest Atlanta neighborhood, city officials have issued citations to two homeowners accused of illegally running auto repair shops from their properties. SEE ALSO: Atlanta residents fight against alleged illegal car repair shop What we know City planning inspectors were seen citing one property on Adkins Road Friday, a day after the neighboring house received a similar violation. Both citations allege the operation of mechanical repair businesses in a residential district. The enforcement comes after what residents say has been a decades-long struggle to get city officials to intervene. Neighbors on Adkins Road, near Fairburn Road, have repeatedly reported junk vehicles, oil-stained driveways, and a rotating cast of cars and tow trucks — even a sign advertising auto repair services. What they're saying "They clean up for a few days or a few weeks and then it starts right back over," said Dama Riles, whose elderly parents live across from the cited homes. "So it's been a start and stop cycle." James and Janie Riles, ages 91 and 84 respectively, say they've been pleading for help for years. "We've been trying to get something done so long, we just gave up," Janie said. "We call, we call, we call, and nothing happens." "They're lying to you, really, to be honest about it," added James Riles when told the homeowners denied doing repair work. Neighbors say the issue has gone far beyond being a simple nuisance — they claim it's become a safety hazard. Eunice Guilford, who also lives nearby, said cars parked on both sides of the street near a blind curve have nearly caused multiple crashes. "I have almost had three accidents because it's a curve right there and you can't see around the curve," Guilford said. The other side According to the city of Atlanta's code enforcement database, dozens of complaints have been filed over the years against the two properties, including issues with inoperable vehicles, cars parked on the lawn, and suspected business activity in a residential area. Despite denials from the homeowners, FOX 5 cameras documented numerous auto parts, hoses, and fluids on the premises. What's next Both property owners are scheduled to appear in municipal court to respond to the citations. Residents say they're hopeful this time the enforcement will stick. The Source FOX 5's Aungelique Proctor spoke with Atlanta residents and the city of Atlanta's code enforcement officials.

‘The Walking Dead: Dead City' Season 2, Episode 1 Review — How Much Stupid Can You Fit In One Episode?
The Walking Dead Dead City It's become quite clear that the entire strategy and point of The Walking Dead: Dead City is just to capitalize on Negan nostalgia. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is, once again, the only reason to watch this show. There are far more reasons not to waste your time. Spoilers ahead. I think the best way to talk about this episode is to just go through the list of silly, stupid, annoying things that happen. This isn't the most ridiculous show in the Walking Dead universe, but it shares all the other spinoffs' habits of inserting all kinds of nonsensical crap into the plot. Let's list some of this episode's headscratcher moments: Early on, Maggie takes Hershel Jr. out hunting. With a throwing knife. Not a big dagger, but one of those little throwing knives you use for target practice. They're hunting deer, and he's frustrated when he misses. But what would have happened if he'd hit the deer with that tiny knife? Well, it might have cut the deer if he threw it with enough force to penetrate its hide, which I doubt. The fact is, you cannot hunt deer with tiny throwing knives. It's ludicrous. Maggie, standing next to him, has a bow. You can hunt deer with a bow. Hey, at least it wasn't a CGI deer. We all remember the CGI deer, right? At least it wasn't that. You could probably have killed that stupid CGI deer with a throwing knife. Later, Maggie agrees to go back to NYC with the New Babylon group if they agree not to conscript anyone for the mission. I guess New Babylon conscripts people, and then sends them on dangerous missions the very next day. If anyone tries to get out of conscription, they're hanged. But Maggie, being a good upstanding individual with morals, doesn't want any part in that, so she volunteers. One of the New Babylon leaders ask the marshal from last season if she's really 'worth twenty people' and he says he thinks so. In order to test this, they round up about twenty zombies in a little horse corral which Maggie has to fight to 'prove' herself. Ginny, the teenager who Negan was protecting last season, wants to volunteer, so the two of them fight the zombies together. Mind you, they don't try to kill any from across the fence, they just barrel into a corral filled with nearly two dozen zombies and fight them with knives. This is stupid on numerous levels. First off, why would you 'test' one of your most prized soldiers, who is volunteering for your mission and has valuable intel about the target and location, by putting them in a situation that (if it weren't for plot armor) almost certainly means death? That's not very smart! The plot armor really evaporates any possible tension in this scene, of course, so it all just feels like a waste of time and yet another moment to make New Babylon leadership look like mustache-twirling cartoon villains. Dead City Over in NYC, the mustache-twirling villains have locked Negan up in a cell for the past year. I guess he turned them down when the Dama gave him an opportunity within the organization at the end of Season 1. Well, they threaten his family this time around and so he's forced to help out. Their goal? To unite the clans, er, the vying factions of NYC thugs into one unified force to fight off the New Babylon army who wants their zombie fuel. Negan meets these two other factions at a zombie fight. Remember when the Governor would have people fight zombies for sport and have the whole town watch? Well, these guys skip the human component and have two zombies fight! Zombies decked out in armor, with spikes on their faces. How they get zombies to fight one another is, well, not at all explained. We've never seen zombies fight one another before now, but I guess when they're put in a little makeshift arena, they just ignore all the living flesh and brains around them and fight each other instead. It's . . . it's just so stupid. The two other factions, meanwhile, appear to be The Breastplate Gang and the Homeless People. Each faction has to have its own look, you see. The New Babylonians all dress like Civil War reenactment actors. They must have found a stash of uniforms somewhere. Negan's job is to give a speech and convince the other two factions to join the Dama's group. The Croat has made him a brand new Lucille bat (I guess Negan must have blabbed about it) but with a twist. He's included…some kind of button-activated zapper that knocks one of the faction leaders down. I guess a nonlethal upgrade to a bat covered in barbed wire and nails is . . . cool? Cool for a kinder, gentler Negan, though I'm not sure why the Croat would want that. Seems pretty goofy to me. Dead City Then there's Maggie. I just have a hard time with Maggie. Her scene with Hershel Jr. when he wanted to go and she wanted him to say was just such painful melodrama. Maggie looks cool and she's a tough fighter, but I still can't handle her accent and it gets much worse when she's in a Very Dramatic Scene. Ultimately, I'm left wondering: What's the point of this show? It's just another faction war between groups of people we care nothing about. This entire franchise is just the same thing over and over again, whether it's The Ones Who Live, Fear The Walking Dead, Daryl Dixon or this. Factions fighting other factions endlessly. Rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat. Pick any of these shows, and the plot is almost identical. Our heroes almost never die, but they also never really gain anything. No real arcs or tension because there are no real stakes. No real character development, but also not much world development. Everything is stagnant. There's never a victory condition. It just spins on endlessly, flailing from one humdrum conflict to another. It's like the writers only have one idea and they just recycle it over and over again with a new batch of characters in a new location that we could frankly care less about. It's all so dreadfully generic and boring at this point. Why are we still doing this? 'If you don't like it, don't watch it,' they tell me. Yes, but where's the fun in that?

It's common but treatable: busting myths around asthma and its treatment
Breathing is essential for our lives. But for some of us who have asthma, taking a breath becomes a difficult task, and affects quality of life. Asthma has many names in India – Vaayu roga, Dama, Asthma, Saans ki bimari or Eazhai Noi. Though difficulty in breathing can occur due to multiple causes, for example heart failure, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or interstitial lung disease, Asthma remains one of the most common causes of difficulty in breathing. Scope of the burden in India About 6 to 11 people in every 100 persons in India experience breathing difficulties due to asthma, making it a very common problem. Asthma is an inflammatory condition of the airways or breathing tubes inside the lungs, which are called bronchi. These air-tubes are a sensitive structure. When we get exposed to cold air or dust, these air-tubes may decrease a little bit in size, and one may feel a cough or suffocation for a few seconds. But in patients with asthma, there air-tubes are very sensitive due to inflammation, and they shrink in size significantly causing difficulties in breathing, with a wheeze and cough for many hours, days or sometimes weeks. An asthma diagnosis should be suspected when such wheezing or breathlessness has been occurring in episodes of few hours or weeks for few months or years. In between these episodes, a person could be completely fine. An asthma diagnosis can be confirmed with pulmonary function tests such as spirometry, oscillometry and FENO (Fraction of exhaled nitric oxide). A patient can also easily learn performing peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) measurements from his or her healthcare provider, and the changes in PEFR readings also help in confirming an asthma diagnosis. Treatment for asthma After confirming the diagnosis of asthma, treatment of asthma can be started in the form of corticosteroid inhalers. The dose of the corticosteroid in inhalers is very low (in micrograms) and usually very safe for use over many months and years. Inhaled bronchodilators like Salbutamol can be used as reliever medications for in-between symptoms relief. In a few selected patients with uncontrolled symptoms, newer therapies such as monoclonal antibody treatment or biologicals can help gain control over asthma symptoms. There are many common queries or myths about asthma in the society. Here, we will try to address these question one by one. I often develop a cold and cough and sometimes wheeze, which then improves on its own over a few days or weeks. Do I have asthma? Yes, it can be asthma. But it can be treated easily, and one can live a normal life. I had a fever and cold. I took antibiotics. The fever subsided, but the cough and wheeze are still persisting. Could it be asthma? Asthma symptoms cannot be treated with antibiotics. Inhaled corticosteroids are the main treatment for asthma. If I have asthma, can I eat cold things? Can I eat citrus fruits and curd? With proper treatment of asthma with inhaled corticosteroids – you can eat all food items. Curd, milk, paneer, citrus fruits, and fruit juices are good for health and they do not cause asthma symptoms. Can my asthma be cured or do I have to use inhalers for life? Asthma is chronic disease like diabetes or hypertension. It persists, but with proper treatment with inhaler corticosteroids and PEFR monitoring, one can live a fully normal life. Does the inhaler have steroids? Will It harm me if I use it for long durations? Inhalers contain medicines in micrograms and these drugs stay in lung and do not reach blood in high doses. Thus, inhalers are very very safe for use over many years, even in children, pregnant women, and elderly population. Can you give me tablets? I do not want to get habituated to the inhaler. The use of inhalers is not habit-forming. Tablets contains medicines in milligrams or grams which is about a thousand times of a higher dose than the inhaler. Inhalers deliver medicines in very low doses and directly into the airways, making them safe and accurate treatment options for asthma. I do not have any asthma symptoms anymore. Why do I need to use my inhaler if I am doing well? In asthma, lung function decreases. The aim of treating asthma with inhalers is to bring back the lung function to normal, in order tokeep the person symptom-free. So please do not stop your inhaler just because symptoms have stopped. APFT is needed to check if lung function has also improved to normal. Your asthma physician will help you achieve normal lung function Can you tell me what am I allergic to? Can I avoid those food or exposure to that substance, and get cured? Withasthma, our airways become verysensitive to variety of trigger factors such asdust, smoke,strong smells from cooking in the kitchen,paint or perfume and cold air. Some patients may be allergic to a particular antigen like pollen or aspirin. A complete assessment by a physician can help. But all patients of asthma should avoid common triggers factors as mentioned above. Can I use the air-conditioner? Yes, you can set the AC temperature to 24 degree or above and can use it. Asthma is a treatable disease, and with proper monitoring of lung function with spirometry and with regular treatment with inhaled corticosteroids, one can live a fully productive life.
