  is a haven for culinary delights. Indulge in

• 2:58
  send you. In local news, a Massachusetts hospital
• 3:04
  is pioneering a groundbreaking approach to treating
• 3:07
  depression and anxiety, aiming to help patients
• 3:10
  recover faster. McLean Hospital in Belmont is
• 3:14
  reducing what typically takes over eight weeks
• 3:17
  to about five days using transcranial magnetic
• 3:20
  stimulation, or TMS. This non -invasive therapy
• 3:25
  offers tailored treatments by applying magnetic
• 3:28
  impulses through the scalp to stimulate the brain.
• 3:32
  Patients undergo 10 sessions, lasting about 20
• 3:35
  minutes each, over five days. Dr. Joshua Brown,
• 3:40
  the medical director of TMS, states that about
• 3:43
  50 % to 60 % of patients see a significant response,
• 3:47
  with many achieving full remission. Now on to
• 3:55
  sports. In a significant blow for the Atlanta
• 3:59
  Braves, outfielder Jurickson Profar has received
• 4:03
  an 80 -game suspension from Major League Baseball
• 4:06
  after testing positive for a performance -enhancing
• 4:09
  drug. The 32 -year -old left fielder had only
• 4:13
  played four games this season before the announcement.
• 4:17
  Profar's suspension comes after an impressive
• 4:19
  2024 season where he hit 24 home runs and earned
• 4:24
  a silver slugger award. The Braves, already struggling
• 4:28
  without their star player Ronald Acuna Jr., will
• 4:31
  likely turn to Alex Verdugo to fill the gap in
• 4:34
  left field as they face a tough start to the
• 4:37
  season. In local sports. Yesterday afternoon
• 4:42
  in Baltimore, the Red Sox fell to the Orioles
• 4:45
  8 -5. Despite two hits from Jaron Duran, the
• 4:49
  Sox couldn't overcome Tyler O 'Neal's stellar
• 4:53
  performance, who had four hits. Newcombe took
• 4:57
  the loss, allowing four runs over four innings.
• 5:01
  The Sox, now 1 -4, struggled as Baltimore broke
• 5:06
  it open with four runs in the first. Tomorrow
• 5:09
  night, the Sox take on the Orioles again at Camden
• 5:13
  Yards at 335. Garrett Crochet, with a 3 .60 ERA,
• 5:19
  faces Zac Eflin. Yesterday afternoon, the Celtics
• 5:24
  defeated the Grizzlies, 117 -103, at the FedEx
• 5:30
  Forum. Jason Tatum recorded 25 points and 14
• 5:34
  rebounds. The Seas shot 62 .5 % from the field,
• 5:39
  extending their winning streak to eight games.
• 5:43
  The Celtics' record now stands at 55 -19, while
• 5:47
  Memphis falls to 32 -42. Tomorrow night, the
• 5:52
  Celtics return home to face the Miami Heat, who
• 5:55
  have 33 wins and 41 losses at TD Garden. Tip
• 6:01
  -off is at 7 .30. Jalen Brown is out with a right
• 6:05
  knee posterior impingement. Also tomorrow night,
• 6:09
  the Bruins at 30 -35 -9 welcome the Capitals
• 6:14
  to Beantown. David Pasternak leads the Bees with
• 6:18
  42 goals and 44 assists. Facing the dominant
• 6:23
  Capitals, who are 47 -17 -9, the Bruins aim to
• 6:28
  snap their three -game skid at the Garden. In
• 6:33
  top news. Yesterday, SpaceX successfully launched
• 6:37
  its sixth private astronaut flight, called FRAM
• 6:40
  -2, led by crypto -entrepreneur Chen Wang. The
• 6:44
  mission aims to orbit Earth from pole to pole,
• 6:47
  a path previously untraveled by humans. The crew,
• 6:52
  including a virtual reality director, a robotics
• 6:55
  researcher, and an adventurer, embarked from
• 6:57
  NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. They
• 7:01
  will conduct 22 research experiments on the effects
• 7:04
  of spaceflight on the human body during their
• 7:06
  three - to five -day journey. This mission underscores
• 7:10
  SpaceX's dominance in private spaceflight, with
• 7:14
  growing interest from wealthy tourists and government
• 7:16
  entities alike. In business news, TikTok shop,

• 7:51
  shoppertainment concept, where influencers like
• 7:55
  Lexi Rosenstein thrive. However, Tech Talk Shop
• 7:59
  faces uncertainty due to a recent law requiring

  its parent company to sell U .S. operations by

  April 5, 2024, or face a ban. In crypto movement,
