GIVĒON CELEBRATES FIVE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY

OF BREAKOUT DEBUT PROJECT ‘TAKE TIME EP’

Inside the confines of the members-only club Living Room, an important piece of recent music history was revisited Thursday evening in Hollywood. GIVĒON, a native of nearby Long Beach—hosted an intimate crowd for the celebration of the five-year anniversary of his debut project, the TAKE TIME EP, released on March 27, 2020.

The eight-track EP formally introduced GIVĒON’s yearning R&B songwriting and viscous delivery to the world upon its release. The result was the explosion of GIVĒON’s career. “Like I Want You” and “Heartbreak Anniversary,” the EPs standout singles, have been certified 3x and 6x platinum respectively by the RIAA®. TAKE TIME was nominated for Best R&B Album at the 2021 GRAMMY® Awards. An introduction for the ages.

GIVĒON, now a seven-time GRAMMY® nominee, is paying his respects to the introductory chapter of his career as he transitions into the newest one, headlined by “Twenties,” his bluesy new ballad released in February. The Matthew Burnett, Jahaan Sweet, Sevn, Maneesh and Gitty-produced record has already eclipsed 50 million streams on Spotify and earned a nod from The New York Times for its “neat wordplay,” as it inches up the Billboard Hot 100, having already achieved a Top 10 position on the Hot R&B Songs chart.

Stay tuned for more from the R&B superstar’s official sophomore campaign.

The Overlooked Health Risk Affecting the Water Supply of Communities

Clean water is necessary for good health, but many communities face hidden dangers in drinking water. Contaminants enter water supplies through industrial waste, aging pipes, and agricultural runoff, causing serious health problems. 

People often assume tap water is safe, but invisible threats lurk beneath the surface. Many water treatment facilities struggle to remove all harmful chemicals and pollutants from drinking water. Without proper testing, dangerous substances may go unnoticed for years, harming countless individuals. 

Awareness is the first step toward addressing these hidden risks affecting communities. Understanding potential dangers can help protect families from long-term health effects caused by contaminated water.

Aging Infrastructure and Water Contamination

Many communities face serious risks due to aging water infrastructure, which can compromise water quality:

  • Outdated pipes release harmful substances, including toxic metals like lead.
  • Lead exposure from corroded pipelines poses severe developmental risks, particularly for young children and pregnant women.
  • Aging systems create conditions where bacteria thrive, leading to widespread health issues.

NIH notes that microbial growth in biofilms is influenced by factors like temperature, disinfectant type, and nutrient levels. Stagnation, pipe flushing, and sediment cleaning also play a key role in controlling biofilm growth. Pressure management and system integrity help prevent contaminant intrusion, impacting overall water quality.

Older treatment facilities struggle to handle modern pollution levels, leaving harmful contaminants in the water supply. Infrastructure problems often go unaddressed until a crisis emerges, as seen in past water contamination disasters. Delaying upgrades to public water systems puts entire populations at serious risk of chronic illnesses. 

Investing in better infrastructure can help prevent future public health emergencies caused by contaminated water. Communities must demand proactive solutions to ensure safer drinking water for residents. Regular testing and updates to aging infrastructure are necessary for maintaining high-quality water standards. Without action, unsafe drinking water will continue to harm communities across the country.

What are the challenges in detecting water contamination?

Detecting contamination in water is challenging because some pollutants, like heavy metals and bacteria, are invisible. Regular testing and advanced detection methods are necessary to identify harmful substances. In many areas, limited resources and outdated equipment hinder timely identification, making it crucial to update infrastructure and testing protocols.

Agricultural Runoff and Pesticide Pollution

Farming chemicals like pesticides and fertilizers often seep into groundwater, contaminating local drinking water supplies. Nitrate pollution from excessive fertilizer use has been linked to cancer and severe developmental disorders. 

USRTK states that studies have found that ingesting nitrate in drinking water can increase colorectal and stomach cancer risks. Analysis has shown that stomach cancer risk nearly doubles when nitrate levels rise from 0 to 2.26 mg/L. With every additional 2.26 mg/L of nitrate, the cancer risk escalates at an accelerating rate.

Rural communities relying on private wells face higher risks since their water lacks regular contamination testing. Even municipal water systems struggle to remove all harmful agricultural chemicals before reaching household taps. 

Long-term exposure to contaminated water can cause chronic health problems, including organ damage and neurological disorders. Poor land management practices allow dangerous substances to spread beyond farm boundaries, affecting entire communities. 

Strict regulations and sustainable farming methods can help reduce water pollution from agricultural sources. Supporting organic and eco-friendly farming practices helps decrease the presence of toxic substances in water.

What role do waterways play in spreading pesticide pollution?

Waterways act as conduits, carrying pesticide pollution from agricultural fields into larger bodies of water. Once in rivers, lakes, or groundwater, these chemicals can contaminate drinking water supplies and harm aquatic ecosystems. Protecting waterways from agricultural runoff is essential to ensure the safety and health of communities relying on these water sources.

The Silent Chemical Threat in Your Drinking Water

Some chemicals persist in water for decades, causing serious health risks for exposed individuals and communities. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), or “forever chemicals,” are among the most concerning contaminants affecting drinking water.

As per ScienceDirect, aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), which is commonly utilized in firefighting, is a major source of PFAS contamination. For decades, military bases, airports, and industrial sites have relied on AFFF to suppress fuel fires. However, PFAS chemicals from AFFF have leached into groundwater, affecting nearby communities.

According to TorHoerman Law, lawsuits have been filed against manufacturers for failing to warn about AFFF’s health risks. Victims are seeking compensation for medical expenses, environmental cleanup, and necessary long-term health monitoring. Some legal cases have resulted in multimillion-dollar settlements holding corporations accountable for widespread pollution. 

The ongoing AFFF foam lawsuit and regulatory action are essential to addressing PFAS contamination from toxic firefighting foam and protecting public health.

Can PFAS contamination be reversed?

PFAS contamination is challenging to reverse due to the chemicals’ persistent nature in the environment. Advanced filtration systems, like activated carbon and reverse osmosis, are the most effective methods for removing PFAS. Ongoing monitoring and treatment technologies are necessary to control PFAS contamination and protect water quality.

How Communities Can Take Action for Cleaner Water

Regular water testing is essential for identifying dangerous contaminants affecting local drinking water supplies. Homeowners using well water should test frequently to detect harmful substances before they cause health problems. Advocating for stronger water safety laws can help prevent pollution and improve filtration standards. 

Local governments must prioritize upgrading outdated infrastructure to prevent contamination from corroded pipes and industrial waste. Communities can support environmental organizations working to enforce stricter regulations on water pollution sources. 

Using certified water filters at home can reduce exposure to dangerous chemicals in tap water. CDC mentions that you should check for an NSF certification on the label to know what a water filter removes. NSF International sets public health standards and certifies filters for specific contaminant removal. Use the NSF database to find detailed info on what each filter is certified to remove.

Public awareness campaigns encourage responsible disposal of household chemicals that could pollute drinking water sources. Supporting policies that promote sustainable farming practices helps prevent pesticide and fertilizer runoff from contaminating water. 

How do public policies influence water safety regulations?

Public policies set the foundation for water safety regulations, dictating how water treatment is managed and how pollutants are controlled. Strong regulations ensure that contaminants are minimized and water treatment standards are maintained. Advocating for stricter policies can help improve water quality and protect public health in the long run.

Our water supply faces invisible threats that require urgent attention and action. Aging infrastructure, pesticide runoff, and harmful chemicals like PFAS are major concerns. We need to invest in upgrading water systems to prevent contamination. Supporting sustainable farming practices is crucial to reduce chemical runoff into our water sources. 

Strengthening regulations around water safety will ensure cleaner water for everyone. On an individual level, regular water testing and using home filtration systems can reduce exposure. We can protect our communities and ensure safe drinking water for future generations by raising awareness and pushing for stronger policies.

“Vivienne Charles jewelry designs capture the essence of the natural world, making them a perfect complement to our An Ode to Spring gallery show,” says Cristina Barbedo, curator and co-owner of Lapin Contemporary. “The beauty and craftsmanship of each piece reflect the renewal and vibrancy of the season, echoing the artistic themes showcased in our exhibition. Every design tells a story, making Vivienne Charles a stunning and fitting addition to our celebration of spring.”

Elisa Gilbert, designer and founder of Vivienne Charles shares “I wanted to create a collection that feels like a jeweled manifestation of nature’s whispers—each piece a memory of something ephemeral yet eternal. These designs are meant to capture the enchantment of the natural world in wearable form.”

A symbol of resilience and hidden wonders, the bees in the Birds, Bees and Things from the Sea Collection capture the spirit of nature’s most industrious creators. “Bees are symbolic to me—representing both hard work and the quiet elegance of nature,” says Gilbert. Apis Verdi immortalizes a golden-hued bee discovered in a sun-drenched meadow, its emerald eyes reflecting the treasures hidden in wildflower fields. The Queen Bee Necklace exudes the mystery of a golden hive hidden deep in an ancient garden—a regal jewel carrying the whispered magic of a world where bees reign in golden splendor.

Associated with luck and transformation, the collection’s frogs capture the essence of adventure. The Prince Charming Necklace captures the timeless allure of enchanted lily ponds, where golden frogs poised mid-leap glisten in the moonlight. Crimson Leap Earrings showcase carved carnelian leaves, glowing with fiery warmth, while 14K gold frogs appear mid-bound, ready to embrace fortune and change. A regal sterling silver and 24K gold bullfrog buckle, Mirelume, carries the aura of twilight marshes, a talisman for those who move with confidence. Similarly, the Celestial Serenade Pin, a gilded cricket adorned with diamonds, emeralds, and a black star sapphire eye, channels the quiet magic of nature’s nighttime symphony—capturing the harmony of twilight’s melodies.

Two timeless hoop styles are collection standouts, offering a touch of classic beauty that pair seamlessly with Vivienne Charles nature-inspired pieces—while making a statement on their own. The Honeyed Hive Hoops capture the intricate lattice of a honeycomb, allowing light to pass through their delicate openwork design—embodying the golden hum of nature’s architecture. The Highland Hoops, crafted in 14K yellow and green gold, echo the woven ivy of ancient Scottish ruins, whispering of history, adventure, and the timeless beauty found in forgotten fortresses.

As part of An Ode to Spring, Vivienne Charles joins a diverse group of artists in celebrating nature’s renewal. Visitors to Lapin Contemporary can immerse themselves in a curated experiential space where drawings, paintings, jewelry, sculpture, and floral design merge to evoke the rhythms of the natural world. The gallery, a cultural space, offers exhibitions year-round attracting art lovers traveling through the Berkshires. Vivienne Charles invites jewelry lovers to embrace the enchantment of nature’s most captivating moments. “Each piece tells a story, preserving the magic of land, sea, and sky in precious metal and glittering gems. I hope these jewels inspire the same sense of wonder in others that they bring to me,” says Elisa Gilbert.

Jeff Langlois

The Los Angeles-based photographer with post-production roots – Jeff Langlois brings multiple disciplines together to forge a distinctive creative career. A passion for the natural world is evident in his work, but it is also informed by time spent as a flame artist at The Mill: a world-renowned visual effects studio. There, he worked directly with clients in the VFX suites and on set; creating Super Bowl commercials for brands such as Amazon, Audi, and Pepsi; along with product releases for Apple keynotes.

The Mill was where Jeff sharpened his eye for aesthetics and launched his career on the West Coast. This background not only complimented and influenced his imagery, it afforded him the opportunity to get behind the lens and shoot high-profile talent such as Kendrick Lamar, Doja Cat, and Jason Alexander.

He now carries with him a unique repertoire and finds fulfillment and enjoyment in the outdoor, travel, and lifestyle spaces. Jeff’s journalism degree represents a voracious appetite for connecting with subjects and everyone on set.

After a project’s entire shot list is accomplished, he loves exploring new creative ideas: either wishlist items or something spontaneous. One of his biggest influences, Joe McNally, said it best: “Always put your camera away last.” Joe highlights the importance of constantly being ready for unexpected moments. Much of Jeff’s portfolio is just that. Have a look at his stills and motion work here: @Jeff_Langlois
