Scam of the day – July 17, 2023 – Mavis is Back! The Lottery Scam Using Her Name Continues

Steven Weisman, Esq.

Jul 16

With both the Megabucks and Powerball lotteries recently at tremendous payout amounts it is not surprising that scams using the name of lottery winner Mavis Wanczyk are back although the truth is scams using her name have never gone away in the six years since she won a 758 million dollar Powerball drawing in 2017. Here is a copy of an email that I received recently and, I should add, not from an email address of Mavis Wanczyk.

I'm Mrs. Mavis Wanczyk, the winner of Mega Millions Jackpot, I am donating to 5 random individuals if you have received this email then your email was selected after a spin ball THIS IS YOUR DONATION CODE: RFCJ-13709/2023 Reply with the DONATION CODE to this email: maviswanczyk.0875@gmail.com Regards, Mrs. Mavis L. Wanczyk

TIPS

It is difficult to win a lottery you have entered. It is impossible to win one that you have never entered and neither lottery winners, nor anyone else is sending out messages through the Internet offering free money to anyone who responds with personal information. Never give out personal information that can make you vulnerable to identity theft unless you have absolutely verified that the party requesting the personal information is legitimate and has a legitimate need for the information. Also never pay anything to a lottery claiming you owe fees in order to claim your prize. This is a telltale sign of a scam. No legitimate lottery requires the payment of a fee to collect your winnings or requires you to pay the lottery income taxes on the prize. While income taxes are due on lottery winnings, those taxes are either deducted by the lottery sponsor before giving you your prize or the prize is given to you in full and you are responsible for the payment of any taxes. No lottery collects taxes on behalf of the IRS.

Finally and most importantly, remember neither Mavis Wanczyk nor any other lottery winner is giving away money to strangers.

The United Nations is warning about "potentially harmful" advances in neurotechnology.
Some tech could allow AI to compromise a person's mental privacy, UNESCO officials said.
The UN proposes to establish ethics and regulations of the neurotech industry.
Some thoughts really should be kept to yourself.

The United Nations has raised the alarm about "potentially harmful" advances in neurotechnology, suggesting that brain implants and scans could allow artificial intelligence to infringe on private, human thoughts, according to Agence France-Presse.

"It's like putting neurotech on steroids," Mariagrazia Squicciarini, an economist from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, told the AFP.

As artificial intelligence enhances the neurotech field, it will need regulation. The technology has "far-reaching and potentially harmful" capabilities, Gabriela Ramos, UNESCO's assistant director general for social and human sciences, told the AFP.

"We are on a path to a world in which algorithms will enable us to decode people's mental processes and directly manipulate the brain mechanisms underlying their intentions, emotions and decisions," Ramos said, according to AFP.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the tech is "advancing at warp speed," AFP reported.

While the technology can be life-altering, it may come at a cost, UN officials suggested. UNESCO spoke to Hannah Galvin, a woman with epilepsy who had a neurotech device installed in her brain to detect seizures and notify patients of when to lie down.

The device ultimately made life worse for Galvin, who said she was having as many as 100 seizures a day, so the device was constantly going off.

"I felt like there was someone in my head, and it wasn't me. And I just got more and more depressed. I didn't like it at all," Galvin, who eventually had the device removed, told UNESCO.

However, the technology could be "fantastic" for other people, allowing the blind to see or the paralyzed to walk, Squicciarini said, according to AFP.

"Neurotechnology could help solve many health issues, but it could also access and manipulate people's brains, and produce information about our identities, and our emotions. It could threaten our rights to human dignity, freedom of thought and privacy," UNESCO director-general Audrey Azoulay said in June, when she proposed a "common ethical framework at the international level."

Check out these images of what an AI created when trying to read a person's mind
Researchers turned human brain waves into AI-generated pictures of what a person was seeing.
Their work is focused on decoding brain activity to understand a person's thoughts.
The experiment, published in November, included dozens of the reference images and the corresponding AI-generated interpretations.
Imagine you're thinking of a goldfish.

Now, what if artificial intelligence could interpret what you're thinking and turn that into an AI-generated image of a goldfish — or at least a pretty close version of it?

It may sound like something out of science-fiction, but a preprint study published in November tried to do exactly that, producing some fascinating AI-generated images in the process.

The images you'll see below on the left show the reference image that was shown to participants in the study. The images on the right are what the AI generated after parsing the participants' brain scans.

Stem Cell Dental Implants May Replace Dentures In The Future
Story by Julie Hambleton • Friday

Losing a tooth is a source of major pain, and it also comes with a lot of issues and long-term discomforts. Dentures are one way to replace a lost or bad tooth, but they come with a lot of burdens on their own. A new dental replacement procedure is in the works, and it could be a whole lot better than getting regular dentures or standard implants: Stem Cell Dental Implants. (1)

Stem Cell Dental Implants Could Replace Traditional Dentures
It takes a while to get used to having teeth you were not born with, and some people’s gums and jawbones are just not suitable to receive dentures and other traditional implants. Some people have bad anxiety regarding dental procedures, and there are conditions that prevent some from receiving dentures. There are also many drawbacks to traditional dentures, including (2):

Healing time
Lengthy procedure
Difficult failure scenarios
Lack of long-term research on implant longevity
Scientists have developed a new procedure for tooth replacement known as stem cell dental implants. According to a study that was published in the Journal of Dental Research, it could now be possible to regenerate your own teeth through stem cell stimulation. Dr. Jeremy Mao, a Professor of Dental Medicine at Columbia University Medical Research Center spearheaded the research.

What Are Dental Stem Cells?
Stem cells are those that help to create all of the organs and systems in your body that make you, well, a functioning human being. They are capable of changing every cell in your body and are found in most of your tissues. They not only help to create your body but also to replenish it. (3)

Researchers found that our teeth contain a wealth of stem cells. They are found in both baby and adult teeth and have the ability to completely regenerate themselves. What’s better, dental stem cells are highly compatible with the body’s immune system. This means your body is less likely to reject them, making them a viable option for treating many conditions. In dentistry, they may be able to assist in healing certain aspects of the teeth before surgical intervention is required. For example, they could help to heal a cavity before a root canal is necessary. Scientists are also studying how to use them to regrow teeth rather than giving people traditional dentures. (4)

How do these stem cell dental implants actually work?
To begin, a growth-factor-infused 3D scaffolding is implanted into the area of the missing tooth, which then stimulates your body’s own stem cells to migrate to the area. In turn, this will stimulate the regeneration of an anatomically perfect tooth. What’s even more amazing is that this process only takes around two months. (5)

What’s unique about this, is that it harnesses the body’s own resources. There is no need for stem cell harvesting or for anything to be grown outside of the body (i.e. in a petri dish). In the paper, Dr. Mao stated his motivation for this research.

“Key consideration in tooth regeneration is finding a cost-effective approach that can translate into therapies for patients who cannot afford or who are not suitable candidates for dental implants. Cell-homing-based tooth regeneration may provide a distinct pathway toward clinical translation.”

How will the public take this?
This technique also allows you to recover more quickly than traditional implants would. Despite all the aforementioned endearing advantages, this method may have a hard time gaining public acceptance, however, education is key.

While many people are ethically opposed to medical procedures involving the use of stem cells, it is important to understand that the stem cells used are from our own bodies. This new process is completely natural and undergoes no form of manipulation.

The University of Columbia has already completed the process of a patent application for this new medical technology. While the research is in its early stages, it will continue with Dr. Mao, to improve this new technique and to eventually have it available to the general public.

Finally, Dr. Ira B. Lamster, dean of the College of Dental Medicine, seems optimistic stating that,

“This research provides an example of what is achievable when today’s biology is applied to common clinical problems. Dr. Mao’s research is a look into the future of dental medicine.”

USPS Is Suspending Services in Vermont, New York, and Utah, Effective Immediately
Weather conditions this summer have been unpredictable, to say the least. Earlier this week, storms and flash floods hit the Northeastern U.S., wreaking havoc in states like New York and Vermont. On Monday, over 13 million people were under flood watches and warnings, per Time, and in Vermont, Governor Phil Scott called the situation "historic and catastrophic." More storms are brewing today, with those in New England bracing for even more flash flooding, per Fox Weather. But several homes and businesses have already been impacted by water damage, including post offices, forcing the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to temporarily suspend services. Read on to find out more about the latest closures.

UPS Strike and Potential Impact to Your Orders

Dear Valued Customer, As you may or may not have seen on the news, UPS and the Teamsters union, who represent UPS workers, have been discussing and negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement. At this point, a new agreement has not been reached. As reported in the news, unless a new agreement is in place beforehand, the Teamsters union will call for a UPS workers strike, starting on August 1st at 12:01 AM. We expect this to disrupt supply chains across the globe.
In the meantime, we do recommend stocking up on necessary supplies if you are able to, as we are unsure how long a possible strike could last.

Vermont Cat Cafe Destroys Own Floor to Save Animals From Drowning

As people began evacuating Barre, Vermont, Alexis Dexter knew she couldn't leave her business behind.

Dexter, the owner of Kitty Korner Café in downtown Barre, opted to stay with the over 50 shelter cats that reside at the café to keep them safe as Vermont battled extreme rain. A long-duration rainstorm overwhelmed the area's creeks and rivers and pushed the Wrightsville Dam to its limits, flooding Barre's Main Street with so much water that it surged into Dexter's business—something that didn't even happen during 2011's Hurricane Irene.

On Monday afternoon, water began rising faster than Dexter could have imagined, forcing her to resort to extraordinary measures to ensure the cats' safety. Officials had ordered evacuations for businesses and residents residing in the flood zone, but Kitty Korner Café was outside of those boundaries.

"When I first left the building to get help at 5 [p.m.], it was up to my shins," she told Newsweek.

Only two hours later, the water started lapping into the building, where dozens of cats were stuck and afraid. After moving the cats to higher ground in the store, Dexter took matters into her own hands to keep them safe and used a screwdriver and a hammer to chisel a hole into her business's floor so that the water would drain into the basement.

"There was no way we could evacuate 50-plus shelter cats that are here, some of which are on medical regiments," Dexter said, adding that someone stayed with the cats overnight as the floods worsened. "There was nowhere we could get that many cats in short order, especially with how high the water was and how fast it was moving."

By 1 a.m. Tuesday morning, the amount of water in the basement set off the business's fire alarm. By late Tuesday morning, the water was up to the second step at the top of the stairs.

"It's a 7-foot basement to the ceiling, not counting the stairwell," Dexter said. Kitty Korner Café posted a video of the flooded basement to its Facebook page.

By Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. ET, the water started receding. Power had resumed, and the business was running sump pumps. Although the cats were saved from drowning, the basement sustained damage and Dexter said lots of supplies and equipment were lost, including a new washer and dryer. The fate of the basement is still undetermined.

The rain has mostly stopped, and the waters are receding. The cats and staff are safe for now, but Dexter is still concerned about the possibility of a spillover at the nearby Wrightsville Dam in Montpelier. If that happens, Montpelier's situation could turn dire.

"I hope to God it doesn't," she said of the dam spilling over.
