LOST GENERATION: The impact of the mounting problems on America's food supply.
There's plenty of young people interested in starting a career in farming. A farmer needs land, but buying land is more expensive than ever.
More than 80% of the worlds corn and soybeans comes from Midwest farms. Prices for corn and soybeans surged in 2021 and 2022. Farmers made more money, invested in land, and drove up the cost of it. "Increasing costs are certainly making it harder and harder for any beginning farmer to get started," Martha McFarland, with Practical Farmers of Iowa, said.
Farmers say they can't compete with developers who can buy farmland for more money."Once it's gone, you never get it back. Once it has houses on it, you never get it back. And we we feed the world like this is that's what we do," Emily Shivers, with

Fewest cops in a generation: LAPD shrinks below 9,000 officersLA struggling to hire new police officers — as LAPD ranks dip below 9,000 for the first time in a generation. The number of officers employed by the LAPD has dropped below 9,000, a staffing level unseen since the administration of former LA Mayor Richard Riordan in the 1990s.

Positron Generation and Acceleration in a Self-Organized Photon Collider Enabled by an Ultraintense Laser PulseWe discovered a simple regime where a near-critical plasma irradiated by a laser of experimentally available intensity can self-organize to produce positrons and accelerate them to ultrarelativistic energies. The laser pulse piles up electrons at its leading edge, producing a strong longitudinal plasma electric field. The field creates a moving gamma-ray collider that generates positrons via the linear Breit-Wheeler process---annihilation of two gamma rays into an electron-positron pair. At the same time, the plasma field, rather than the laser, serves as an accelerator for the positrons. The discovery of positron acceleration was enabled by a first-of-its-kind kinetic simulation that generates pairs via photon-photon collisions. Using available laser intensities of ${10}^{22}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{W}/{\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$, the discovered regime can generate a GeV positron beam with a divergence angle of around 10\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} and a total charge of 0.1 pC. The result paves the way to experimental observation of the linear Breit-Wheeler process and to applications requiring positron beams.
