CES 2017 is history, “Augmented Reality” is part of our lexicon, and it’s time to have more fun by looking at the products featured by Zennie Abraham and at Zennie62blog.com and Zennie62 on YouTube for the 8th straight year in Las Vegas. One of those was the Grush Interactive Gaming toothbrush, which purports to help children to brush properly, as explained in the following press release excerpts from Grush.

Grush released a brand-new design for their smart sonic toothbrush targeted for children 3-7 years of age. Unlike other so-called smart toothbrushes that only detect on/off and work as a Bluetooth connected timer, the Grush Brush can detect the exact brushing position and brushing movements detecting each surface of each tooth, orientation angle, and even brushing force.

This never before seen detailed information enables dentists to correct brushing behavior inside the bathroom to achieve better oral health habits for life.

These disruptive features also transform the Grush toothbrush in a gaming wand. In the new released game, available on iOS and Android. Kids can use the Grush brush to chase monsters, play piano, take care of their pets.

For adults who prefer simple and accurate brush tracking to gaming, there is a level where the app guides the user to brush their teeth from yellow to white and works like a mirror.

Team won the One Million Dollar grand prize on the hit reality show “America’s Greatest Makers” produced by Mark Burnett on TBS this year. Intel sponsored the one million dollar award.

“Grush is the only smart toothbrush that can detect exact brushing positions. We have partnered with several visionary strategic partners inside and out of the dental field in order to make Grush available to the parents all around the world.” said Ethan Daniel Schur, COO of Grush.

Grush is also expanding into the professional dental industry, announcing their “Grush Dental Dashboard” where opt-in dentists can observe the progress their patients are making with Grush. “Dental disease is the #1 chronic disease affecting children today. Grush provide meaningful data and finally brings brushing into the 21st Century.” Said Anubha Sacheti, DMD, Chief Dental Officer of Grush.

Consumers can now find Grush online on Amazon.com and Grush will also appearing on QVC in early 2017. For more details about Grush, please visit http://www.grushgamer.com/.

San Francisco’s Third Baptist Church hosted a rally and meeting Sunday to discuss hatred toward African American students of the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD).

Rev. Amos C. Brown, president of the San Francisco NAACP and pastor of Third Baptist Church, along with leadership from local civil rights groups, the city’s faith-based community and Black community leadership convened at the church.

“There has been an epidemic of racial slurs and mistreatment of Black children in our public schools in the city,” said Brown. “This will not be tolerated.”

According to civil rights advocate Mattie Scott, students from elementary to high school have reported an extraordinary amount of racial slurs directed at them.

“There is a surge of overt racism in the schools, and our children should not be subjected to this,” said Scott. “Students are in school to learn, develop, and grow, not be hated on,” said Scott. “The parents of the children feel they have not received the support necessary to protect their children.”

Attendees were briefed last Friday in a meeting with SFUSD Superintendent Dr. Matt Wayne.

SFUSD states that their policies protect children and they are not at liberty to publicly discuss the issues to protect the children’s privacy.

Some parents said they have removed their students from school while other parents and community leaders called on the removal of the SFUSD superintendent, the firing of certain school principals and the need for more supportive school board members.

Community advocates discussed boycotting the schools and creating Freedom Schools led by Black leaders and educators, reassuring parents that their child’s wellbeing and education are the highest priority and youth are not to be disrupted by racism or policies that don’t support them.

Virginia Marshall, chair of the San Francisco NAACP’s education committee, offered encouragement to the parents and students in attendance while also announcing an upcoming May 14 school board meeting to demand accountability over their mistreatment.

“I’m urging anyone that cares about our students to pack the May 14 school board meeting,” said Marshall.
