Stephan King was born in 1947 in Maine. He was born into a poor family; his father left when he was just a toddler and his mom raised him and his older brother on her own in a single-income household.
They moved a few times but ended up in Maine.
He always had an interest in horror even in his younger years during elementary school and middle school.
He apparently witnessed one of his friends die but he does not remember it. Some people think this is maybe why he likes horror and darkness in his stories.
His mother always encouraged him and his brother to read. At times she could not afford babysitters so she would have them read to each other while she was gone and then quiz them to make sure they read while she was gone.
He would also watch lots of TV shows like the Twilight zone which made his imagination and liking of these topics even more.
He would write for fun for the school paper that his brother published and sell stories to his friends of movies he had watched. It is said he had to return the money when the teachers found out! The stories he wrote and told, made him semi-famous among his friends and family members.
He wrote throughout the years and won a Scholastic Art and writing award as a teen.
His success just kept on continuing as he grew up and he has become now one of the more infamous writers there is.

Write a biographical text about Stephan King's childhood, his interest in horror stories, how he was raised, and how he has cultivated his passion for writing ever since his childhood years.

In modern-day times at a University somewhere in America there was a professor asking his students about the awareness of molecules what they are and how they operate in our environment. He gave out a homework assignment to his class and told them to go do research on just that. Everyone went home and did a lot of research and came back with the assignment finished. The day after he let everyone know that there would be an experiment being conducted. At the front of the class, there was a hotplate and a pot with water on the inside. He turned the stove on high and waited until the water came to a boil. As the tap water started boiling you could see small particles begin to form in the pot and start to stick together. He informed the class that these particles were atoms and as they bonded together they formed what is called a molecule.
Molecules are everywhere and instead of telling the class about them, he simply made a presentation and showed them what it was.
|
Write a short passage in a university that includes the explanation of what a molecule is and an experiment to complement the definition.

Hello, my name is Oaklee, and I am eight years old. Today at school our teacher told us that for our homework for the weekend is to write about one thing that is an important part of one of our parent's jobs. My friend Casper asked me what I was going to write about.
I said, "I'll probably write about my mom's job".
Casper than asked " what kind of job does your mom do?"
" She is a psychologist" I stated.
"What even is a psychologist and what do they do?" questioned Casper.
" That's a good question Casper" I mumbled.
After school my mom picked me up in our blue pickup truck.
" Hey, mom I have an important question that I have to ask you" I said.
" Yes, sweetheart what is it about?" my mom questioned.
" It has to deal with my homework project over the weekend." I explained.
"I'm glad you are doing your homework right away and not waiting until Sunday to do it" my mom explained.
"It is about one major thing you do in your job" I stated.
"Well, honey the most important thing in my job would be my patient's minds". My mom jotted.
"What about a patient's mind" I questioned.
"Well, I help my patients that have different types of illnesses that are located in their minds." my mom stated.
"That is very cool mom, but what is the mind and what is it about?" I questioned.
" The mind is a very powerful thing. The mind is in your brain that holds all of your emotions and wellbeing." stated my mom.
"That is very interesting mom, but you said that the mind can have illnesses what do you mean by that?" I stated.
" In the brain there are all these different chemicals in it, and they need to be balanced so that your mind can be healthy. If you have too much or too little of one chemical, then your mind can become sick." my mom explained.
"Oh, I get it now mom, thank you so much for the help." I joyfully mentioned.
"You are so welcome sweetheart, I love you". My mom stated.
" I love you to mom."
As soon as we got home, I started my project for school. I decided to make a few slides with pictures for my project.
During the weekend I got to do more fun things because I got my homework done on Friday. At school on Monday, I was the first one to present and my teacher loved my project.

I hate the way a lot of parents these days try to spell their kids' names "creatively" to make them "more unique".
My mom did this to me and it only ever caused me problems. A unique name, more like a unique struggle!
Do you know what it's like to be the one kid in class where no one can ever pronounce your name? Let alone spell it right! Every new school year, every time we had a new substitute teacher or a new kid, I had to try to teach them how to say and spell my name correctly. Some of them were never able to get it right, no matter how much I tried.
This has followed me even as an adult! If I call in somewhere and they need to look up my name, I have to spell my name out letter by letter so they understand, otherwise, they can never find me in their systems.
I do like my name, and I don't want to have to go through the whole struggle of trying to change it legally, but I wish my parents had just spelled it the way everyone else does. It would've made a lot of my life so much easier.
Do your children a favor and just spell their names the right way!

Hi, I’m texting you today because I would like to know if I can have a different assigned parking spot. I know I haven’t been with this company long but my car is being bombed with pigeon droppings. I’m constantly washing my car so that I can see through my windshield. This is becoming a real problem for me as it is every single day my windshield is completely covered in pigeon poop. I noticed there is a nest right above my car. The cars beside me don’t seem to have this problem at all. It doesn’t matter to me how far I have to park as long as I don’t have to deal with another pigeon. Thank you for your consideration.

LIGHT; The Orchid flower needs bright light to produce its flower blooms, however, direct sunlight harms its buds burning the plant, so indirect light is best. Place your orchid in a matching situation, either in a south or east; facing window.
SOIL; Orchids don't grow in regular potting soil. Instead, you can make your own potting mix which would be light and fast draining. Standard combinations include bark, sphagnum moss, pearlite, and peat. This can produce an ideal pH balance of a slightly acidic nature.
WATER; The Orchid needs to dry out between watering to prevent rot. one way to determine if it's time to water, or not is to feel the soil mixture. If the soil is dry and the pot is light it's time. Another way is by looking at the roots themselves if they are plump and green, they are well watered. If the roots are grey and shriveled, they need water. If the roots are shriveled but black and spongey, it may be a sign of root rot.
typical waterings happen twice a week in warmer months when the plant is actively growing. Only one watering a week is required in colder months. The proper watering procedure is to use room temperature water and slowly water until water flows out of the pot. Temperature and Humidity; Depending on the type of orchid you have, Orchids typically do well in the ranges of 50 degrees Fahrenheit to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. preferred humidity levels are around 40% to 70%.
you can keep the orchid blooming longer with a warm humid spot in the house. keep the plant out of direct sunlight and air vents as the cold or heat can damage the orchid.-Fertilizer-During the growing season use an Orchid-specific fertilizer. Follow the label instructions and don't fertilize in winter.

Write a short blog post for agricultural science students on how to care for and plant an orchid. It should include sections on:
i. How much light and where to place an orchid indoors for sufficient growth
ii. What soil mixture is required for proper planting and orchid general health?
iii. A description of the amount of water an orchid needs and the time of day to wet the plant with water
temperature and humidity;
iv. What environment keeps the orchid sustained most efficiently?
v. When should you fertilize your orchid?

Association is powerful.
It can be wonderful;
Or it can be dreadful.
Choose wisely who you talk to,
Because it can either take you places;
Or it can leave you filling out blank spaces.
Associate with people who inspires you.
They will always have you moving up the queue.
If you disobey,
And want things your own way.
To hang out with persons that are no good;
You will end up not advancing as you should.
The moral of this poem is to be careful;
Be prayerful;
And choose your association without it ending up being painful.

See the gaze laid upon the Queen,
It comes from the eyes of the King.
His beauty and his grace,
Center of his world.
There was only ever one,
Who captured his heart,
When she twirled in,
From the very start.
Enchanted and true,
No one else had a clue,
That he'd rather stage a coup,
Than ever engage with another.

Write a short poem about a King reminiscing on the love he has for his Queen.

When owning a taxi service, three words come to mind. Decision-Making Power. At the end of a fair or during you have the ultimate say-so of who can get in your vehicles or not. Unruly customers? end service and deny service within the lawful guideline without fear of repercussions. Too many horror stories from uber and lyft end with "after I had the police remove an unruly customer, their complaint ended my ability to participate" yes, that's a paraphrasing as the range and variety of the same story can be easily found on youtube or elsewhere on the internet. I found in both instances, you have to have insurance- so why not get the insurance you can work with? want to paint and design your own look for a taxi? you can! dress your car up as barney for all you care! (as long as it remains street legal to your local laws and ordinances)

A celebrity can use their fame and popularity to bring awareness to a charity in various methods.
One very easy way for a celebrity to use their fame for charity is by utilizing their social media presence and simply posting a short video of themselves actively participating in the charity event. A celebrity can also help a charity by being a spokesperson on a television ad for the charity much like Susan Lucci does for the Childrens Miracle Network. Also, simply by using their fame to host small community events and crowd-sourced fundraisers can be a huge help such as what Damar Hamlin did. Damar Hamlin started a small fundraiser with a goal of only 2500 dollars which gained a lot of popularity after an unfortunate American football injury. The fundraiser is currently in the millions due to the sympathy acquired for this famous American football player.

The scientists were amazed at the information that has been discovered lately about Covid-19 and the hundreds if not thousands of variants that are continuously developing. I also have been doing personal research on this subject and keeping up with all the latest news and statistic. Learning about this novel virus has been keeping me up at night since after recovering from it, there is no telling how many symptoms don't easily disappear after what seems to be a recovery.
I often re-post on social media some of the latest scientific reports and new statistics in order to keep everyone informed. My name is often of mention in these social media groups due to this. They take note of and often mention my scientific interests and accurate post information. I keep a close eye on all new developments concerning Covid-19 and other serious potentially deadly respiratory diseases and viruses.
I know from personal experience, that the symptoms of Covid-19 vary from person to person, and often lead to permanent conditions such as chronic cough and recurring low-grade fever. Fatigue, headaches, and other symptoms often linger for many months after having contracted Covid-19. There are so many variants and each replicating into another form of the virus at incredible speeds makes it almost impossible to predict what symptoms will accompany it.
Doctors are puzzled at the extreme length of time symptoms can linger after exposure to this particular virus. I have personally had to be prescribed a steroid inhaler to control the small and nagging chronic cough. Masking, hand washing, avoiding crowds, getting vaccinated, and being boosted still seem to be the best defense against this serious and ongoing health threat.

If you have a favorite plant that you would like to propagate, there is a simple way to do so. First, you need to find a stem on the plant and spot the nodes. The nodes on a stem are the areas where the buds or leaves of a plant are located. Once you find the nodes, make sure to use a sharp tool to cut your stem at an angle between the nodes of the plant. Once you have your cutting you need to trim the leaves and apply a root hormone and plant the cutliing. Then you tend to the cutting until it is ready to transter into its own pot or into the ground.

There is a new member of baseball's hallowed 3,000-hit club. Saturday against the Colorado Rockies, Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera slapped a single in his first at-bat of the game for his milestone 3,000th career hit. He is the 33rd member of Major League Baseball's 3,000-hit club. Here is Cabrera's historic 3,000th hit, which came in front of the home crowd at Comerica Park: The milestone hit comes one day after the series opener with the Rockies was postponed due to rain, and two days after the Yankees intentionally walked Cabrera when he was sitting on 2,999 hits. New York trailed Thursday's game 1-0 at the time and the Tigers had runners on second and third with two outs in the eighth inning. The move gave the Yankees the left-on-left matchup against Austin Meadows. Strategically, it was a sensible move, though it did backfire when Meadows doubled in two runs."We got a lot of respect for Meadows behind (Cabrera)," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said after the game. "Just left on left, I felt like the matchup, I just liked it better in that situation. Baseball call for me there. Tough decision ... Little more gut-wrenching than usual." Cabrera certainly did not limp to 3,000 hits. He had eight hits in his previous six games going into Saturday, including a three-hit performance Wednesday night to get to 2,999 hits. In addition to being the 33rd member of the 3,000-hit club, Cabrera is the seventh Latino player to reach the historic milestone. Here are the other six: Albert Pujols: 3,308 (and counting)Adrián Beltré: 3,166 Alex Rodriguez: 3,115 Rod Carew: 3,053 Rafael Palmeiro: 3,020
Roberto Clemente: 3,000 Carew and Clemente are in the Hall of Fame and Beltré and Pujols will join them as soon as they're eligible. Because of their performance-enhancing drug ties, Palmeiro has already fallen off the Hall of Fame ballot and Rodriguez appears unlikely to be voted in. Cabrera, needless to say, will one day join Carew and Clemente (and Beltré and Pujols) in Cooperstown. Cabrera, who turned 39 on April 18 and is playing in his 20th MLB season, was originally signed by the then-Florida Marlins out of Venezuela. He made his big-league debut in 2003, just months after celebrating his 20th birthday. His first hit, as fate would have it, was a walk-off home run. Cabrera spent five years with the Marlins in total, receiving Most Valuable Player Award consideration in each of them. He wrapped up his career in Florida with career marks of 842 hits and 138 home runs, as well as a slash line of .313/.388/.542 (143 OPS+). The Marlins traded Cabrera and left-handed starter Dontrelle Willis to the Tigers in December 2007. Florida received in return, among others, Andrew Miller and Cameron Maybin. Cabrera has spent the past 14-plus years with the Tigers, amassing a .310/.387/.528 (145 OPS+) slash line. Just last season, Cabrera hit his 500th career home run. Cabrera, as a result, is just the seventh member of the 3,000-hit club to have also homered 500 or more times, joining Henry Aaron, Alex Rodriguez, Albert Pujols, Willie Mays, Rafael Palmeiro, and Eddie Murray.
|
Miguel Cabrera is now the 33rd member of the 3,000-hit club. This happened during a crucial game between the Rockies and the Yankees. Cabrera is also the 7th Latino player to accomplish this feat. He started playing just a few months after his 20th birthday and is still going strong at 39. In addition to joining the 3000 club, he also reached his 500th career home run last season.

Write a summary for a local newspaper highlighting the wins and records of Miguel Cabrera.

They’re two of the most iconic images from the riot at the Capitol following the 2020 presidential election: Proud Boys member Dominic Pezzola using a purloined police shield to smash in a window and Arkansas resident Richard “Bigo” Barnett sitting with his boots propped up on a desk in then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office. Now, on the second anniversary of the melee, jury trials involving each of those episodes are getting underway in federal court in Washington just blocks from where the pitched battles between supporters of President Donald Trump and police took place. The two-year windup for the trials also illustrates how the federal court system has struggled to manage the slew of criminal cases, search warrants, grand jury subpoena fights and other investigative demands stemming from the storming of the Capitol as lawmakers prepared to certify the electoral college votes cementing Joe Biden’s win over Trump in the presidential race. Almost 1,000 people have been arrested in connection with the events of Jan. 6, 2021, according to a new Justice Department tally released this week. More than half of those charged have already pleaded guilty or been convicted at trial. Prosecutors have a near-perfect conviction record in the cases, with only one defendant–who only faced misdemeanor charges–being acquitted outright. One judge handling Jan. 6 cases said this week that he expects another 1,000 could be filed before the prosecution effort is complete. “Our work is far from over,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement Wednesday. “We remain committed to ensuring accountability for those criminally responsible for the January 6 assault on our democracy. And we remain committed to doing everything in our power to prevent this from ever happening again. Five Proud Boys — including the group’s former national chair Enrique Tarrio — stand accused of seditious conspiracy in a trial that started jury selection on Dec. 19 and continued that process this week after a holiday break. They were featured by the Jan. 6 select committee as the central players in the ultimate breach of the Capitol, chronicling their presence at multiple points where police were overwhelmed and the building’s defenses were overcome.Proud Boy Joe Biggs of Florida, one of Tarrio’s co-defendants, was standing alongside fellow member Ryan Samsel just before Samsel charged through police barricades, the first clash of the day. A third co-defendant, Seattle Proud Boy Ethan Nordean, was nearby as an early wave of rioters removed police barricades, facilitating the advance of the larger mob. One of their allies, Jeremy Bertino, has already pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy, even though he wasn’t in Washington, D.C. on the day of the attack while he recovered from a stab wound he incurred at a Dec. 12, 2020 rally for Trump.Tarrio was also absent during the attack, the result of a court order to stay away from Washington, D.C., after his Jan. 4, 2021 arrest for burning a Black Lives Matter flag at the same Dec. 12 protest. But prosecutors say he coordinated from afar, remaining in touch with top Proud Boys lieutenants from a Baltimore hotel. A photographer and Tarrio associate posted a video of a masked Tarrio in front of the Capitol on Jan. 5, titled “Premonition,” that prosecutors have cited in their charging documents. Prosecutors have also described Tarrio’s possession of a document, titled “1776 Returns” that sketched out plans for occupying federal buildings to impede the transfer of presidential power. The document included a section called “Storm the Winter Palace,” an allusion to the Russian Revolution. And after the attack, Tarrio and Bertino exchanged jubilant texts. “The Winter Palace,” Tarrio said, after Bertino celebrated the attack. Bertino told the Jan. 6 select committee about that exchange, saying he didn’t know about the “1776 Returns” document until the FBI showed it to him during a debrief. I think that it possibly could have been a way to later on — if it was successful — say, see, I knew about it … without saying he knew about something happening,” Bertino said. “If it was successful, then he could claim credit. If it wasn’t, it meant nothing.” The panel also released a deposition transcripts of figures associated with the Proud Boys, including Tarrio himself. But that deposition of Feb. 4, 2022 occurred before Tarrio was charged along with his fellow Proud Boys and before the details of the “1776 Returns” document were publicly known. Another Jan. 6 committee witness, a cryptocurrency advocate named Samuel Armes, told the panel he may have been a source for portions of the document, which he said he shared with a mutual associate of Tarrio over the summer of 2020.Barnett’s separate trial, set for jury selection on Monday and opening statements as soon as Tuesday, is expected to be a far briefer and more straightforward affair. At a pretrial hearing this week, Barnett’s lawyers said they plan to argue that the combination stun gun/flashlight/walking stick he was wearing in Pelosi’s office didn’t have any batteries in it during the chaos on Jan. 6 so shouldn’t be considered a weapon.Sparks could literally fly at next week’s trial. The defense said it will fight prosecutors’ plan to demonstrate a version of the “ZAP Hike ‘n Strike Hiking Staff” for the jury. Barnett’s attorneys also plan to argue that he shouldn’t be facing a felony charge of obstructing the congressional proceedings because the House and Senate had already recessed before he entered the building. “They’re accusing Mr. Barnett of doing something that would require him to have a time machine,” one of his defense lawyers said Wednesday. Prosecutors have said anyone who prevented Congress from resuming the certification of the electoral vote and did so intentionally can be convicted under the obstruction statute, which carries a potential maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. The first Jan. 6-related trial on seditious conspiracy charges featured Oath Keepers’ founder and Yale Law School graduate Stewart Rhodes along with 4 co-defendants. In late November, a jury convicted Rhodes and one associate, Florida Oath Keeper Kelly Meggs, of the weighty charge, while finding the other three defendants not guilty of seditious conspiracy but guilty on other felony charges. All five await sentencing. Four additional Oath Keepers affiliates are currently on trial in the same D.C. courthouse on seditious conspiracy charges over their roles on Jan. 6. That trial began last month and is ongoing. A third Oath Keepers trial on obstruction charges is set for February.

People with psychosis may experience disruptions in their thoughts and perceptions, causing them to see their world differently. It is a common symptom in many medical and neurologic conditions.
Psychosis can affect anyone. According to the National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI), 100,000 young people in the United States experience psychosis every year. At the same time, up to 3 in 100 people will have an episode in their lifetime.
In this article, learn more about psychosis, including what causes it and the treatment options available.
Psychosis affects a person’s thoughts and perceptions. It alters how they process information, making it difficult to determine what is real from what is not.
People with psychosis may hear, see, smell, taste, or feel things that are not there. They can also hold strong beliefs or bizarre ideas, such as that someone is out to get them or that someone is monitoring their activities when these are not the case.
Psychosis feels or appears real to a person. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) states that a person may not be aware that they have psychosis. It can be overwhelming and confusing.
Sometimes, the symptoms can cause the person to harm themselves. In rare cases, they may hurt another person.
Psychosis is one of the key symptoms of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. According to the DSM-5, it also co-occurs with many mood and substance use disorders.
Depending on the cause, psychosis can appear quickly or cause slow, gradual changes in a person’s thoughts and perceptions. It can also be mild or severe.
In some cases, it may be mild when it first appears but become more intense over time. While psychosis includes a range of symptoms, it often involves one of two significant experiences.
The below sections explore the early signs of psychosis and two common symptoms in more detail.
The length of a person’s psychosis varies depending on the type of psychosis.
Substance or medication-induced psychosis tends to resolve shortly after the substance clears from a person’s system. But psychosis triggered by amphetamines, phencyclidine (PCP), and cocaine may last for several weeks.
Meanwhile, a brief psychotic disorder usually lasts for less than a month. According to the DSM-5, psychotic symptoms need to be present in people with schizophrenia for a significant portion of time during 1 month or longer.
Psychosis can happen due to several factors. It may be a symptom of a mental condition. Psychotic disorders such as delusional disorder and schizotypical disorder share psychosis as a symptom.
Studies show that a combination of genetic and environmental factors can lead to psychosis. Certain environmental factors may increase a person’s risk for psychosis, including:
• maternal infections and obstetric complications
• maternal stress and malnutrition
• child abuse
• head injury during childhood
• migration
• drug misuse
|
Categorized as a symptom of a larger, underlying condition, psychosis is found in 3 of every 100 people in the United States. Psychosis causes individuals to experience a disruption in their perceptions. The onset of psychosis can happen quickly or slowly depending on the cause. Causes include maternal infections, maternal stress and malnutrition, child abuse, head injury during childhood, migration, and drug use.

It is common to wonder whether the color or consistency of vaginal discharge is normal or needs to be checked out. Vaginal discharge can be many colors, and several indicate a healthy body.
In this article, we provide a color-coded guide to vaginal discharge. Learn what the colors mean and when to see a doctor.
What is vaginal discharge?
Vaginal discharge is fluid secreted from tiny glands in the vagina and cervix. This fluid leaks from the vagina each day to remove old cells and debris, keeping the vagina and reproductive tract clean and healthy.
The amount of vaginal discharge can vary significantly from person to person. The color, consistency, and amount can also change from day to day, depending on where a person is in their menstrual cycle:
Days 1–5. At the beginning of the cycle, discharge is usually red or bloody, as the body sheds the uterine lining.
Days 6–14. Following a period, a person may notice less vaginal discharge than usual. As the egg starts to develop and mature, the cervical mucus will become cloudy and white or yellow. It may feel sticky.
Days 14–25. A few days before ovulation, the mucus will be thin and slippery, similar to the consistency of egg whites. After ovulation, the mucus will go back to being cloudy, white or yellow, and possibly sticky or tacky.
Days 25–28. The cervical mucus will lighten, and a person will see less of it, before getting another period.
Red
The shade of red can vary from a bright to a dark rust color. Red discharge is most commonly the result of bleeding during a period.
Menstrual bleeding happens, on average, around every 28 days, though the normal range is between 21 and 35 days. A period typically lasts for 3–5 days.
Anyone who experiences bleeding between menstrual periods should see a doctor. Though there are many benign causes of intermenstrual bleeding, it can sometimes signal a serious condition.
Anyone who has gone through menopause and has not had a period for at least 1 year should see a doctor if they experience vaginal bleeding. It can sometimes be a sign of endometrial cancer.
White
The shade of white can extend to include cream or light yellow. If a person has no other symptoms, white discharge is most likely a sign of healthy lubrication.
However, if the white discharge has a consistency like a cottage cheese or is accompanied by a strong odor, it can indicate an infection. An individual should see a doctor.
White, thick, strong-smelling discharge is usually associated with a yeast infection, which can also cause itching or irritation.
Experiencing symptoms of vaginal yeast infections?
Skip the waiting room and get relief with Wisp’s Fluconazole (Diflucan) medication, a trusted yeast antifungal prescription with results after one pill.
Yellow-green
If the discharge has a very slight yellow hue, it may not indicate a problem. This is especially likely if the hue only coincides with a change in diet or dietary supplements.
Discharge that is a darker shade of yellow, yellowish-green, or green usually signals a bacterial or sexually transmitted infection. See a doctor promptly if vaginal discharge is thick or clumpy, or if it has a foul odor.
Pink
Discharge can be light or a much deeper pink. It usually contains a little bit of blood.
Pink discharge most commonly occurs with spotting before a period. However, it can also be a sign of implantation bleeding in early pregnancy.
Some people experience a little bit of spotting after ovulation, which can also cause a pink discharge.
Discharge can be pink after sexual intercourse if the sex has caused small tears or irritation in the vagina or cervix.
Clear
Most ordinary vaginal discharge is clear or whitish. It may be slippery or have the consistency of egg whites.
A person is likely to experience more clear, slippery discharge just before ovulation, during sexual arousal, and during pregnancy.
Gray
Gray vaginal discharge is not healthy, and it can be a symptom of a common bacterial infection called bacterial vaginosis (BV).
BV usually causes other vaginal symptoms as well, including:
itching
irritation
a strong odor
redness around the vulva or vaginal opening
Anyone with gray discharge should promptly see a doctor. Following diagnosis, the doctor will usually prescribe antibiotics to treat the BV.
When to see the doctor
Discuss any unexplained changes in vaginal discharge with a doctor.
See a doctor if the vaginal discharge has an unusual smell or appearance. A person should also seek medical care if they experience vaginal symptoms such as:
itching
pain or discomfort
discharge that is frothy or like cottage cheese
bleeding between periods or after menopause
spotting after sex regularly
grey, green, or yellow discharge
a strong odor
a burning sensation during urination
The doctor will perform a pelvic exam. They may also need to take a sample of discharge for testing.
Outlook
Below is a summary of the causes for each color of vaginal discharge:
Red
starting or ending a period
cervical infection
cervical polyp
endometrial or cervical cancer
Pink
cervical bleeding
irritation in the vagina
implantation bleeding
White
healthy discharge
yeast infection
Yellow-green
sexually transmitted infection, such as trichomoniasis
Clear
healthy discharge
pregnancy
ovulation
hormonal imbalances
Gray
BV
In most people, infections or hormonal imbalances are responsible for unusual changes in vaginal discharge. Medication may be necessary.

The fluid that is secreted from a woman's vagina is natural. It is common to have many colors, and not all are bad, some can indicate a healthy body and others can indicate something is wrong. It can last for up to 28 days and the color will vary depending on the menstrual cycle. Hormonal imbalances are the cause of unusual changes in vaginal discharge, and you may have to see a doctor, and medication may be necessary.

Constantinople is an ancient city in modern-day Turkey that’s now known as Istanbul. First settled in the seventh century B.C., Constantinople developed into a thriving port thanks to its prime geographic location between Europe and Asia and its natural harbor. In 330 A.D., it became the site of Roman Emperor Constantine’s “New Rome,” a Christian city of immense wealth and magnificent architecture. Constantinople stood as the seat of the Byzantine Empire for the next 1,100 years, enduring periods of great fortune and horrific sieges, until being overrun by Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire in 1453.
In 657 B.C., the ruler Byzas from the ancient Greek city of Megara founded a settlement on the western side of the Strait of Bosporus, which linked the Black Sea with the Mediterranean Sea. Thanks to the pristine natural harbor created by the Golden Horn, Byzantium (or Byzantion) grew into a thriving port city.
Over the following centuries, Byzantium was alternately controlled by the Persians, Athenians, Spartans and Macedonians as they jockeyed for power in the region. The city was destroyed by Roman Emperor Septimius Severus around 196 A.C., but subsequently was rebuilt with some of the structures that survived into the Byzantine Empire, including the Baths of Zeuxippus, the Hippodrome and a protective wall.
After defeating his rival Licinius to become sole emperor of the Roman Empire in 324 A.D., Constantine I decided to establish a new capital at Byzantium called “Nova Roma”—New Rome.
Constantine set about expanding the territory of old Byzantium, dividing it into 14 sections and constructing a new outer wall. He lured noblemen through gifts of land, and transferred art and other ornaments from Rome for display in the new capital. Its wide avenues were lined by statues of great rulers like Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, as well as one of Constantine himself as Apollo.
The emperor also sought to populate the city through offering residents free food rations. With a system of aqueducts already in place, he ensured access to water through the widening city by the construction of the Binbirdirek Cistern.
In 330 A.D., Constantine established the city that would make its mark in the ancient world as Constantinople, but also would become known by other names, including the Queen of Cities, Istinpolin, Stamboul and Istanbul. It would be governed by Roman law, observe Christianity and adopt Greek as its primary language, although it would serve as a melting pot of races and cultures due to its unique geographic location straddling Europe and Asia.
|
What is now modern-day Istanbul used to be an ancient city that went by the name of Constantinople. The city housed the Byzantine empire from 330 A.D. up until 1453 when the Ottoman Empire seized control. 657 B.C. was a year of importance for the region. Byzas, a ruler from Greece, settled in the area that combined the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Byzas settlement would eventually grow into a large and prosperous port city. In the coming years, the city switched hands of rulers over and over until around 196 A.C. Septimius Severus, a Roman Emperor, dismantled the city. In 342 A.D. Constantine became the empower of the city and decided to name it "Nova Roma". The new emperor gave free food rations to the people of the city in an attempt to populate Nova Roma. Due to the city's location, it became a melting pot. Many races and many cultures would bring something to the city under Constantine.

Prior to electric televisions, we had mechanical televisions.
These early televisions started appearing in the early 1800s. They involved mechanically scanning images then transmitting those images onto a screen. Compared to electronic televisions, they were extremely rudimentary.
One of the first mechanical televisions used a rotating disk with holes arranged in a spiral pattern. This device was created independently by two inventors: Scottish inventor John Logie Baird and American inventor Charles Francis Jenkins. Both devices were invented in the early 1920s.
Prior to these two inventors, German inventor Paul Gottlieb Nipkow had developed the first mechanical television. That device sent images through wires using a rotating metal disk. Instead of calling the device a television, however, Nipkow called it an “electric telescope”. The device had 18 lines of resolution.
In 1907, two inventors – Russian Boris Rosing and English A.A. Campbell-Swinton – combined a cathode ray tube with a mechanical scanning system to create a totally new television system.
Ultimately, the early efforts of these inventors would lead to the world’s first electrical television a few years later.
The world’s first electronic television was created by a 21 year old inventor named Philo Taylor Farnsworth. That inventor lived in a house without electricity until he was age 14. Starting in high school, he began to think of a system that could capture moving images, transform those images into code, then move those images along radio waves to different devices.
Farnsworth was miles ahead of any mechanical television system invented to-date. Farnsworth’s system captured moving images using a beam of electrons (basically, a primitive camera).
The first image ever transmitted by television was a simple line. Later, Farnsworth would famously transmit a dollar sign using his television after a prospective investor asked “When are we going to see some dollars in this thing, Farnsworth?”
Between 1926 and 1931, mechanical television inventors continued to tweak and test their creations. However, they were all doomed to be obsolete in comparison to modern electrical televisions: by 1934, all TVs had been converted into the electronic system.
Understandably, all early television systems transmitted footage in black and white. Color TV, however, was first theorized way back in 1904 – something we’ll talk about later on.
The two types of televisions listed above, mechanical and electronic, worked in vastly different ways. We’ve hinted at how these TVs worked above, but we’ll go into a more detailed description in this section.
Mechanical televisions relied on rotating disks to transmit images from a transmitter to the receiver. Both the transmitter and receiver had rotating disks. The disks had holes in them spaced around the disk, with each hole being slightly lower than the other.
To transmit images, you had to place a camera in a totally dark room, then place a very bright light behind the disk. That disk would be turned by a motor in order to make one revolution for every frame of the TV picture.
Baird’s early mechanical television had 30 holes and rotated 12.5 times per second. There was a lens in front of the disk to focus light onto the subject.
When light hit the subject, that light would be reflected into a photoelectric cell, which then converted this light energy to electrical impulses. The electrical impulses are transmitted over the air to a receiver. The disk on that receiver would spin at the exact same speed as the disk on the transmitter’s camera (the motors would be synchronized to ensure precise transmissions).
The receiving end featured a radio receiver, which received the transmissions and connected them to a neon lamp placed behind the disk. The disk would rotate while the lamp would put out light in proportion to the electrical signal it was getting from the receiver.
|
In the early 1800s, television, as we know it, was vastly different. the first televisions were mechanical, not electric. The electric television was in prominence in 1934 when all mechanical televisions became obsolete. The mechanical television was operated by the means of rotating disks, completely dark rooms, and bright lights. In the very dark room, the disk would be placed in front of the bright light. A motor would then turn the disk in order to get different frames.

The Missouri House of Representatives proposed a bill Wednesday that would restrict women’s dress code in the state’s House, but would not tighten the dress code for men, eventually passing a version of the bill calling for women to cover their arms.
The dress code was updated from 2021, in which women could wear “dresses or skirts or slacks worn with a blazer or sweater and appropriate dress shoes or boots,” to now state that proper attire for women in the House would be “jackets worn with dresses, skirts, or slacks, and dress shoes or boots.”
The legislation was proposed by Rep. Ann Kelley (R) and was met with firm opposition from Democrats.
Missouri state Rep. Raychel Proudie (D) called the motion “ridiculous” while speaking on the House floor, adding, “We are fighting — again — on a woman’s right to choose something and this time is how she covers herself,” according to Heartland Signal.
“Do you know what it feels like to have a bunch of men in this room looking at your top trying to decide whether it’s appropriate or not?” state Rep. Ashley Aune (D) said on the state House floor, according to Heartland Signal, before going on to criticize the motion further as “ridiculous.”
Kelley responded to Aune, saying, “You would think that all you would have to do is say, ‘dress professionally’ and women could handle it!” the Heartland Signal reported.
Other Democrats weighed in on Twitter: “The caucus that lost their minds over the suggestion that they should wear masks during a pandemic … is now spending its time focusing on the fine details of what women have to wear (specifically how to cover their arms) to show respect here,” state Rep. Peter Meredith tweeted.
Women hold less than one-third of the state’s legislature, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and while the House dress code is debated every two years, the men’s dress code was not debated for the 2023 session.
Eventually, according to The Washington Post, the Missouri House passed a modified version of the proposal that permits women to wear blazers, cardigans and jackets, but still requires that their arms be covered.

Representative Proudie said the motion is "ridiculous" because women should be able to choose how they cover themselves.

Giant Redwoods and Sequoias
Giant redwoods and giant sequoias look similar - but are they really the same thing? Find out what makes these two amazing species of tree both alike and very different.
Known for sky-scraping forests unique to this corner of the world, California draws visitors from all over the globe to the land of towering giants. Defining the landscape at mesmerizing heights, and with a truly distinctive appearance, these ancient forest stands are made of up sequoias and redwoods, some of the most fascinating and unique trees on Earth.
Sequoias and giant redwoods are often referred to interchangeably, though they are two very different, though equally remarkable, species of tree. Both naturally occurring only in California, these two species share a distinctive cinnamon-colored bark and the proclivity for growing to overwhelming heights. Both also require very specific, though very distinct, climates to survive.
For more information about the trees, plants and animals of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, visit any one of our shops within the parks and take time to visit the Visitor Centers and Museums.
Giant Redwoods
Known as both the giant redwood and the coastal redwood, Sequoia sempervirens differs from its relative the giant sequoia, Sequoiadendron giganteum, primarily in the environment it requires. As its nickname suggests, giant or coastal redwoods thrive in the moist, humid climate of the Northern California coast, where marine fog delivers precise conditions necessary for its growth. The fog adds moisture to the soil and helps trap it there by lowering the rate of evaporation.
Giant redwoods typically outreach their giant cousins in height, standing up to 378 feet tall.
Giant Sequoias
Giant sequoias thrive in higher elevation habitats than giant redwoods and grow naturally only along the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, primarily between 5,000 and 7,000 feet in elevation. Giant sequoias require the periodic dry heat of the mountains in order for their cones to open and release seeds.
Still reaching impressive heights of up to 311 feet, giant sequoias are typically shorter than their coastal relations. What they lack in height, however, they make up for in size, usually outweighing giant redwoods substantially.
Through sheer incredible volume, giant sequoias claim the title of largest tree in the world. Known as General Sherman, this most giant of sequoias weighs a staggering 2.7 million pounds and stands 275 feet tall from its base, which is more than 100 feet wide. Not only is General Sherman the largest living tree, it also owns the title of largest living organism on the planet.

Out of unforgivable meanness, snide knobs in the Canadian figure skating writers’ cabal nicknamed Josée Chouinard the Human Zamboni. Because she cleaned the ice with her butt.
Chouinard couldn’t stay upright, predictably crashing and falling into a skidding heap at moments of high anxiety competition. Jumps that spooled out so smoothly in training imploded in front of judges.
Still, the charming young woman from Rosemont, Que. — she always had the prettiest costumes and a most luminous face except when it crumpled in tears — was a three-time Canadian champion in the 1990s who twice finished fifth at the world championships. A lovely skater. Shame about the gut-clenching nerves.
She never told her twins about any of it. Not the glory and not the agony.
Daughter Fiona Bombardier, in fact, didn’t learn of her mother’s skating history until she was 10 years old and, even then, the knowledge was imparted by other skaters. Mum kept shtum.
“I had no idea. I didn’t know. Then I came home and it was, like, ‘WHAT?! Why didn’t you ever tell me?!’ ”
Chouinard was in the stands Friday at Tribute Communities Centre in Oshawa, watching her 17-year-old daughter make her debut as a senior at the Canadian figure skating championships with an impressive short program performance that had Fiona sitting third behind defending champion Madeline Schizas and Lia Pereira.
One of us hasn’t aged so gracefully, I must say.
Fiona had not an inkling about her figure skating pedigree when she and twin brother Noah took up the sport. Mom provided no particular advice or in-house coaching. “She does not pressure me into skating. She just allows me to do what I love to do and she’s just there on the sidelines supporting me, no matter what.”
After, that is, Josée finally got around to divulging. After sitting Fiona down in front of a video from the Olympics. “I can’t remember which it was but she was wearing a pink and orange dress and I was just talking about the spins, how much they have changed, and now having to do the Level 4s with difficult entries and exits.”
It was Lillehammer, by the way, that dress.
Fiona’s father, Jean-Michel Bombardier, was also an elite figure skater, but in pairs. He and Chouinard divorced before the twins were even a year old. Both parents are at these nationals and I’d bet not sitting too close.
“I created my own look,” Fiona said of her skating presentation. “I didn’t watch many videos of (her mother’s) skating. And she doesn’t show me.”
What the teenager has in spades is self-confidence and the ability to quiet her stress when it counts most. “I get little butterflies. Coming on (the ice), I did have a little bit of a stomach ache. But that’s normal. I’ve learned through talking to a sports psychologist that if I don’t get these nerves, I don’t care about the sport. So I’m going to embrace them. If I feel a little tingle in my legs, I think, ‘OK, that’s good.’ It means I’m ready and I’m going to compete.”
Canada can send only one female singles skater to Japan for the world championships in March, so Fiona, a junior silver medallist at nationals last year, is hoping to make the squad for the world junior championships in Calgary in a few weeks. The Grade 12 student in Newmarket is still eligible.
Even if Schizas somehow fails to repeat as victor in Oshawa, she will likely still get the worlds assignment from Skate Canada. It’s heartening, however, to see Canadian women challenging each other because the category hasn’t exactly been thick with potential since Kaetlyn Osmond copped Canada’s first world gold in 45 years in 2018.
Schizas earned a score of 68.32 in the short competition, which included a plump mark of 11.70 for her exquisite triple Lutz-triple toe opening combination, overcoming apprehension at being the last to skate and a considerable bide time after warm-up. “There were parts I was happy with and parts that I was less thrilled about. I skated last and sometimes I struggle with that, just the wait.”

The last twelve months have been great for the Mexican Caribbean, with arrivals at Cancun International Airport setting new records as more and more travelers want a piece of the world’s most in-demand travel destination. Yet while Cancun is understandably receiving the lion’s share of these beach-loving travelers, it’s far from the only destination in the region to be flourishing since travel around the world returned to normality, as several other towns in the Mexican Caribbean are also seeing demand rise to new highs.
One of these such destinations is Costa Mujeres, which has increased its total number of rooms available by almost 10% over the past year in order to cope with the sheer number of travelers flocking there. Full of the types of beaches, historical sights, and natural beauty that radiates throughout the region, here’s a look at why so many travelers are choosing to stay in the Costa Mujeres right now and how the destination plans to deal with this new-found demand.
While Cancun is grabbing the headlines, the beaches and resorts of the Costa Mujeres have been quietly making their own waves over the past year. Despite starting 2022 with just over 8,000 hotel rooms, the destination closed the year with 8,700, as it goes from strength to strength as a vacation option. With an average occupancy rate of 81% throughout the year and around 85% in December, there’s no sign of its popularity growth slowing down either.
A key factor in the popularity of the Costa Mujeres is its location. The destination is just 18km away from Cancun’s popular hotel zone and can be reached from the airport in less than an hour. That means that the Costa Mujeres, with its relatively emptier beaches and more local feel, makes for a perfect getaway from the big-city vibes and thronging crowds of Cancun – regardless of if it’s just a day’s excursion or spending a few days exploring all of its wonderful sights.
Regardless of whether you’re an active type of traveler or one who prefers a slower pace of life, the Costa Mujeres has you covered. For sports fans, the destination is home to the stunning beachfront 18-hole Playa Mujeres Golf Club, which incorporates local natural features such as mangroves into its course. There’s also the highly-rated Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre, where you can brush up on your serve and volley skills, along with a plethora of water-based activities to enjoy.

The total number of rooms available increased by almost 10% over the past year.

By how much did the hotels need to expand to accommodate the increased number of guests to Costa Mujeres?

They say Disney World is the most magical place on earth.
For the Tracy and Jill Cheek family of Marshall County, a trip to Disney just before Christmas turned out to be way more magical than even they could have imagined. The Cheeks have been making annual treks to Disney World for about 20 years. They’d not been since 2019 due to Covid and they’d never been at Christmas, so their trip a week before the holiday was shaping up to be a special one anyway.
But it got even more special once they arrived at the Magic Kingdom.
“We had on matching shirts that I had bought a year before the trip,” Jill said. “We had just hit Main Street and we were getting our picture made in front of the castle with the matching shirts when a lady came out of the crowd, tapped my husband on the shoulder and said ‘I love your shirts.’”
She asked if she could talk to them for just a minute and Jill thought she might be trying to sell a timeshare. Jill began to explain that they had tickets to “Be Our Guest” and they needed to hurry.
“She said, ‘No, I promise you want to talk to me. I will make it worth your while.’”
In each of the parks at Disney, there’s a parade every day and those parades are real productions. The woman asked the Cheeks what their favorite part of the parade was. Jill said she always enjoyed seeing Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
The mystery woman told them her favorite part was the beginning because that’s when the grand marshals came along. Before she knew it, the woman had told Jill, Tracy and their grown kids Peyton and Sarah-Elizabeth that she worked for Disney and she’d like for them to be the grand marshals in the Disney parade that very day at noon.
It was a graduation trip for the kids. Peyton just graduated from UNA and Sarah-Elizabeth will graduate from Shorter University in May.
Being asked to be the grand marshals “was a surreal moment” for the family, Jill said. But as luck would have it, it rained that day and the parade was canceled.
Jill thought their opportunity of a lifetime was about to pass by. But the woman said Disney would comp their tickets for them to return the following day and do the grand marshal gig. The Cheeks came back to the Magic Kingdom and they got to be the grand marshals.
The loudspeaker on the route announced them as “the Cheek family from Albertville, celebrating graduation.”
“We were like celebrities,” Jill said. “We were waving at people and they were waving back.”
It turned out there were friends from back home who were at Disney watching the parade and they were texting pics of the family to them while they were in the parade.
At the end of the parade, Disney had a roped off area just for the Cheeks with a front row view of the parade. Characters would stop and the Cheeks would have their photos made with them.
“One of the characters came down and kissed Sarah-Elizabeth on the cheek,” Jill said. “It was beautiful. It looks like a poster.”
Disney gave the Cheeks a “Photo Pass” so they could get free photos from the parade. They also gave them mouse ears with “Grand Marshal” embroidered on the back of them.
“They treated us like royalty,” Jill said. “They must have given us $1,500 worth of merchandise. It was the highlight of our Christmas season.”
She said it was apparently all because of the shirts.
“They weren’t homemade or anything special, but I guess they caught their eye,” Jill said.
Jill is an assistant librarian at the Guntersville Public Library. Tracy is the principal at Marshall Christian Academy.
The parade experience wasn’t the only special thing that happened to them on the Disney trip. They were the last family to get in before the line was cut off to see “The Lion King” show at Animal Kingdom.

The state of California Labor Commissioner’s Office has fined two San Francisco Burger King franchise owners $2.2 million in wage theft citations, which is to be paid out to 230 former employees.
This decision comes after Golden Gate Restaurant Group’s Monu Singh and Harkiran Randhawa lost an appeal of the $1.9 million fine issued in June of 2020 by the Labor Commissioner's Office. The citation is now set at $2.2 million, which includes accrued interest.
The case originally started in 2019 when a group of Burger King employees at the infamous 1200 Market St. location, in downtown San Francisco, “basically walked off the job,” according to Alexx Campbell, a senior staff attorney at nonprofit law office Legal Aid at Work. Campbell has worked on this case since the beginning.
Through their lawyer, Colin Calvert of law firm Fisher Phillips, Singh and Randhawa denied any wrongdoing in an email to SFGATE.
“We intend to appeal and believe the ruling is unsupported by the testimony and evidence secured,” Calvert wrote.
Former employees allege Singh and Randhawa knowingly understaffed at least six San Francisco Burger King restaurants under Golden Gate Restaurant Group ownership in an effort to cut costs. The practices allegedly created unsustainable working conditions for employees, according to the labor commissioner’s investigation, which was reviewed by SFGATE.
This type of cost-cutting maneuver was not unique to the 1200 Market St. location, the investigation found.
“The violations at issue were not isolated instances that were the fault of rogue supervisors, but, based on the evidence, part and parcel of a way of operations initiated and/or known by both [owners],” read the decision by the Labor Commissioner’s Office.
Employees working at Burger King locations owned by Golden Gate Restaurant Group said they worked unpaid overtime and worked through mandatory breaks as governed by California law. They also alleged that they often doubled as cashiers, cleaners and other positions that were not their own, according to the investigation’s report.
One cook said that she worked overtime because there was no one on staff qualified to make food safely. Other employees, such as Sonia Crisostomo, were reportedly asked to arrive early and perform duties such as depositing money at the bank even after clocking out.
Managers also stated they were under intense pressure from the restaurant owners to deliver high sales numbers while keeping labor costs low, according to the Labor Commissioner’s Office. Former manager Sandra Gutierrez told investigators that she had a regular shift from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., but often showed up earlier and worked later “because there were not enough people to run the store,” the investigation report said.
She reportedly did not clock those extra hours, though, due to pressures to keep labor costs low.
The investigation also concluded that employees were often paid “10 days after the end of the biweekly pay period.”
The California Labor Commissioner's Office alleged that Singh and Randhawa were aware of several complaints about labor shortages stemming from employees and management, but wouldn’t increase the staffing levels “unless sales were higher.”
The investigation found that the owners would consistently alter employee time cards after the fact and attributed the changes to computer “system errors” or would label it “forgot to clock in.”
Other changes by Golden Gate Restaurant Group included falsifying meal break forms to show that staff had taken a break when they hadn’t, and that the time recording software was set up in a way so that it would not allow “too many” employees to work at the same time.

Prosecutors seek a life prison term for an ex-convict who extorted and forced into labor or prostitution some women he met at his daughter’s on-campus housing at Sarah Lawrence College, while his lawyers request the mandatory minimum 15 years behind bars for his crimes, according to papers filed prior to sentencing next week.
In a submission in Manhattan federal court late Friday, prosecutors called Lawrence Ray’s crimes “heinous,” saying he groomed and abused his young victims as he took “sadistic pleasure in their pain and enjoyed the fruits of their suffering.”
They said Ray, 63, has shown he is a danger to others, is incapable of contrition and must be incapacitated.
Ray was convicted last April of using threats and violence to enrich himself with millions of dollars as he ruined the lives of his daughter’s friends, watching them descend “into self-hatred, self-harm and suicidal attempts under his coercive control,” prosecutors said.
His sentencing is scheduled for next Friday.
His lawyers have argued for leniency, saying he should face 15 years behind bars. They said his own physical, sexual and psychological abuse he suffered as a child and through his young adulthood “bears a striking resemblance to the conduct underlying the offenses he now stands convicted of.”
Ray was convicted at a trial where weeks of testimony chronicled his psychologically manipulative relationship with young people he met in fall 2010 at Sarah Lawrence College, a small New York liberal arts school. Ray moved into his daughter’s dorm after finishing a prison stint for a securities fraud conviction.
He was convicted on 15 counts, including racketeering, conspiracy, forced labor, sex trafficking and obstruction of justice.
A jury returned its verdict after less than a day of deliberations following a monthlong trial that featured testimony from numerous victims. Some testified that Ray made them believe for most of a decade that they had poisoned or otherwise harmed him and they needed to pay him back.
One woman testified that she became a sex worker to try to pay reparations to Ray after becoming convinced that she had poisoned him. She said that, over four years, she gave Ray $2.5 million in installments that averaged between $10,000 and $50,000 per week.
Ray did not testify. Twice, the trial was interrupted as he was taken to the hospital in an ambulance for undisclosed illnesses.
In their submission Friday, prosecutors said Ray had “shown no remorse, accepted no responsibility, and impeded the prosecution of this case, including by disrupting the trial and prolonging the trauma to his victims.”
Several students testified that they were drawn into Ray’s world as he told them stories of his past influence in New York City politics, including his role in ruining the career of former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik after serving as the best man at his wedding years earlier. Ray had, in fact, been a figure in a corruption investigation that derailed Kerik’s 2004 nomination by President George Bush to lead the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Some of the students agreed to live with Ray in the summer of 2011 at his Manhattan one-bedroom apartment, where his sinister side emerged as he started to claim that the students had poisoned and harmed him or his property.

Meet the golden round “berry” which is known by several names, including Peruvian ground cherry, physalis peruviana, Rasbhari (Hindu name), Alma berries (India), uchuva (South-American name), Cape Gooseberry (in North America), goldenberry, uvilla, and physalis. For our purposes, we refer to the fruit by the name you are most likely to see in the grocery store - the goldenberry.
Goldenberries have been around literally since ancient times, but they are just now growing in attention with more health-conscious and Generation Z consumers around the globe. In case you have never heard of this fruit, we will help you get to expert status in just a few minutes.
They are not just another berry.
To begin, goldenberries are not actually berries at all. In fact, they are quite different from other fruit that we encounter in the produce aisle. Goldenberries are members of the nightshade family (Solanaceae botanical family, for all the scientists). This “family” of fruit includes some unlikely cousins, including tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, and the tomatillo. In fact, the goldenberry grows on a vine, covered with green leaves, the same as a tomatillo. These leaves help to protect the fruit and help also to enhance the nutritional qualities even after harvesting. You can find goldenberries in the market today both with and without their leaves. Typically goldenberries with their leaves are called physalis, while the peeled fruit is sold as “goldenberries.”
They Taste like TANG®.
These tiny orange fruits have a subtly sweet-tart flavor like that of pineapple or strawberry. The flavor has been described as “Mother Nature’s Sweet-Tart” or similar to the popular “TANG®” drink, a flavor that is both sweet but with a sour or tart compliment. The juicy berries are packed with vital nutrients that provide really incredible health benefits, which claim to include uplifting immunity, improving eyesight, and lowering inflammation in the body.
Made in Medellin:
The fruit is quite picky as to where it will grow, demanding very high altitudes and a specific climate. Goldenberries prefer a cool climate with lots of clouds and high-altitude tropical regions amid hilly areas. Although it can be grown as a summer garden crop, neither North America nor Europe have been able to successfully grow this fruit commercially.
High-quality goldenberries thrive in only one area of the globe, the Andes mountains which boast both a semi-tropical climate, sun, clouds and high altitude. Although small quantities of the fruit are sourced from Peru and Ecuador, the goldenberry (or uchuva) is primarily grown and exported by Colombia. This popular fruit is hand-harvested and exported with both a peeled (berry) presentation, as well as the physalis presentation of the berry with its protective husk (think of it as the sweet, orange cousin of the tomatillo).
About The Goldenberry Plant:
The (Physalis peruviana) plant is a perennial vine-like tree, with soft woody bark. It has a life of about 24 months and is grown on trellises, reaching a height of 5 – 6 feet. The plant thrives in high-altitude regions with cool air and sun, and well-drained or loamy soils.
The physalis fruit is a small berry, with a smooth, green outer skin when raw which turns vivid yellow to orange and becomes sweet (with a touch of sour) once ripened. The protective outer leaf is removed before consuming the goldenberry fruit. The delicious and unique tart taste of the goldenberry makes it ideal to be eaten raw, in yogurt, in fruit salads, as well as incorporated into jams, pies, juices, jellies and sauces. Dried or dehydrated goldenberries are also quite popular, both for their tangy flavor as well as for their nutritional punch.

Today’s post is all about oven fries. We moved a few weeks ago (just up the street), and that meant packing up my cookbook collection. It’s a slow process, because I tend to flip through every book before boxing it. Some books like to fall open to a much-loved recipe or photo spread, and that was the case with NOPI (Ramael Scully & Yotam Ottolenghi). The recipe was their crispy, spicy Paprika Oven Fries. I made them for years before leaving San Francisco, and have been happily revisiting them again lately.

I grew up with an undiagnosed panic disorder whose terrifying internal experience created chronic fear that dictated how I could and could not live my life. Knowing something was “wrong” with me, without knowing its name shaped the course of my entire life. As a writer, I am dedicated to exploring hard to articulate emotions. Because emotions are so neglected in our society, kids, like the child I was, will continue to suffer in silence. I write for the parents of those kids, and for those, like me, who grew up pummeled by a constant barbaric sense of terror.

Some children are born without a corpus callosum. This leads to a rare disorder known as agenesis of the corpus callosum, which is estimated to affect around 1 in 3,000 people. The corpus callosum can also be damaged.
Disruptions to the corpus callosum development can occur between the 5th and 16th week of pregnancy.
While there is no specific cause, possible factors include the following:
Prenatal infections or viruses, such as rubella
Genetic abnormalities, such as Andermann or Aicardi syndromes
Toxic metabolic conditions, such as fetal alcohol syndrome (heavy drinking or alcoholism during pregnancy)
Something preventing the corpus callosum from growing, such as a cyst in the brain
Corpus callosum problems can also be due to a recessive genetic disorder. This means that parents can be carriers of the gene that causes the disorder, but not have the condition themselves.

Many biologists and commentators from the humanities and social sciences have questioned whether the gene is still a useful category in biology. Too many times have the entities and processes associated with the term turned out to be more diverse and more complex than initially assumed, and it seemed that new terms were needed to accommodate new insights. And yet, the term “gene” has proved to be persistent. It remains central not only in public discourse about biology and in educational contexts, but also for researchers at the cutting edge of the life sciences in framing their results and interpretations.

About one-third of pregnant women with asthma will see their asthma symptoms get worse. Another third will stay the same. The last third will see their asthma symptoms improve.
Most women with asthma whose symptoms changed in any way during pregnancy will return to their pre-pregnancy condition within three months after giving birth.
If your asthma symptoms increase or decrease during one pregnancy, you may be likely to experience the same thing in later pregnancies. It is difficult to predict how asthma will change during pregnancy.
Because of this uncertainty, work with your doctors to follow your asthma closely. This way, any change can be promptly matched with an appropriate change in treatment. This calls for good teamwork between you, your obstetrician, your primary care physician, and your asthma specialist.

Today we take for granted that we live among diverse communities of animals that feed on each other. Our ecosystems are structured by feeding relationships like killer whales eating seals, which eat squid, which feed on krill. These and other animals require oxygen to extract energy from their food. But that’s not how life on Earth used to be.
With an environment devoid of oxygen and high in methane, Earth would not have been a welcoming place for animals for much of its history. The earliest life forms we know of were microscopic organisms (microbes) that left signals of their presence in rocks about 3.7 billion years old. The signals consisted of a type of carbon molecule produced by living things.

Dizzy Kickball
Set down bases and a pitcher's mound in the yard with sticks or old books. Divide players into two teams. The usual rules apply, with one exception: Before the pitcher rolls the rubber ball, the kid who’s at bat has to turn in a circle three times. It’s harder than you think!
Catch the Fox
Sit players in a circle and have one kid pass the “fox” (a tennis ball) to the others. Then pick another child opposite the first to pass the “hunter” (a slightly larger rubber ball), who’s desperate to nab the fox. The child holding the fox when the hunter catches up to it is out — so the circle gets progressively smaller and the game gets harder. Bump up the fun by letting the fox escape the hunter’s clutches any way he wants — even sailing straight across the circle — while the hunter is restricted to traveling in only one direction.

An anesthetist who walked out of the operating theatre several times to take calls from other patients while another in his care was undergoing surgery has been suspended for 2½ years, the Singapore Medical Council said on Tuesday.
During the operation in 2016, the patient suffered a complication when a blood clot blocked oxygen from his lungs, an event known as a pulmonary embolism. He was successfully resuscitated by a team of doctors but died the following day.
The Singapore Medical Council’s disciplinary tribunal said the patient’s chances of surviving the embolism were very low. But that chance may have been further lowered by Dr. Islam Md Towfique’s delay in recognizing the changes in the patient’s vital signs and consequent delay in taking action.

When I woke up in the morning, the sun was shining again. I looked around me, wondering where I was. And then I remembered. I was a baby sea turtle – an olive ridley – in the middle of a big blue world, which I had heard someone call the ocean. There was blue and green water in every direction, and the sunlight was playing games with the clouds. I tucked my flippers beneath my body and floated for a while, letting the current carry me.
I did not know where I was. But that does not matter when the sun is shining, and your stomach is full.
The sun warmed me, and filled me with new energy.
Just as I was beginning to think that I would love to spend the rest of my life here, a school of fish went by. Chasing them was a really big fish. I could tell he was a really hungry fish too. When he saw me, his eyes lit up. “Mmmmm,” he seemed to be thinking, “baby turtle soup!”
Moments later, I was swimming as fast as I could, with those big teeth snapping at my little hind flippers.
Just when I was beginning to tire, I saw a seaweed raft. A seaweed raft is just that, a floating mass of seaweed and driftwood that travels around the ocean, carried along by the current. On and in the raft are the Drifters, all the sea’s little and not-so-little creatures that float around the ocean, waiting for something to happen. Gratefully, I slipped into the raft. I would not leave this safe haven for many, many years.
Being on the raft was like going on a world cruise. I enjoyed it very much, but as I grew up, I decided it was time to explore the big wide world outside the raft.
I had heard wonderful things about a place called the Reef where a lot of other turtles lived. Everyone said the Reef was the fairyland of the ocean. They said it was full of beautiful, brightly-colored creatures, both harmless ones like the clown fish and poisonous ones like the scorpion fish.
I wondered how I would find it.

There are no specific educational requirements to become a radio DJ, although a station might look for a DJ with a particular degree in order to round out their roster. Most DJs start off volunteering at a college or independent radio station before landing a paid job at a commercial one. In this career, success can mean shifting from part-time to full-time, changing from a late-night shift to the more popular drive-time shift, or—eventually—becoming a music director or program director. Some radio DJs go on to fame and fortune as on-air personalities, while others transition into careers in television.

Abstract art paintings and drawings were the fresh new way to express ideas in a rapidly changing world.
In visual terms, the journey from representational art to abstract art was no accident. For one thing, the invention of photography had a huge impact on the art world. What was the point of mimesis if a machine could replicate reality far more easily? So artists began questioning the very role of being an artist, in addition to all the other questions and changes occurring at the time. Cubism, fauvism, impressionism and post-impressionism were all precursors to abstract art paintings. These art movements explored the very nature of perception. By breaking down the "rules" of what art could be, they paved the way for abstract art to emerge.
|
Abstract art is a non-lifelike portrayal of real-world objects, people, and scenes that are usually difficult for other people to recognize. Abstract art portrays what an artist feels and thinks, rather than what he or she sees. An abstract artist uses colors and shapes to express his or her emotions and ideas.

Denote the number of chocolates each person has by the letter of their first name. We know that
A = D + 12
D = R + 6
A = 2 * R
Thus, A = (R + 6) + 12 = R + 18
Since also A = 2 * R, this means 2 * R = R + 18
Hence R = 18
Hence D = 18 + 6 = 24

No, Searle does not believe that AI can think. Here is a step by step explanation of his reasoning:
First, think of an AI that can convince Chinese speakers that it is also a human Chinese speaker.
Searle then constructs a thought experiment using his "Chinese room" experiment.
This thought experiment supposes that he is in a closed room with a book containing a version of the computer program. He could receive Chinese characters through a door, process them according to his book, and then produce Chinese characters as output, without actually understanding Chinese.
This means that the computer does not actually understand Chinese either.
Since it doesn't understand, the AI is not actually "thinking" either.
Thus, Searle does not believe AI can think.
|
Does Searle believe that AI can think? Explain your using reasons based off this text.
TEXT
Searle's thought experiment begins with this hypothetical premise: suppose that artificial intelligence research has succeeded in constructing a computer that behaves as if it understands Chinese. It takes Chinese characters as input and, by following the instructions of a computer program, produces other Chinese characters, which it presents as output. Suppose, says Searle, that this computer performs its task so convincingly that it comfortably passes the Turing test: it convinces a human Chinese speaker that the program is itself a live Chinese speaker. To all of the questions that the person asks, it makes appropriate responses, such that any Chinese speaker would be convinced that they are talking to another Chinese-speaking human being.
The question Searle wants to answer is this: does the machine literally "understand" Chinese? Or is it merely simulating the ability to understand Chinese? Searle calls the first position "strong AI" and the latter "weak AI".
Searle then supposes that he is in a closed room and has a book with an English version of the computer program, along with sufficient papers, pencils, erasers, and filing cabinets. Searle could receive Chinese characters through a slot in the door, process them according to the program's instructions, and produce Chinese characters as output, without understanding any of the content of the Chinese writing. If the computer had passed the Turing test this way, it follows, says Searle, that he would do so as well, simply by running the program manually.
Searle asserts that there is no essential difference between the roles of the computer and himself in the experiment. Each simply follows a program, step-by-step, producing behavior that is then interpreted by the user as demonstrating intelligent conversation. However, Searle himself would not be able to understand the conversation. ("I don't speak a word of Chinese", he points out.) Therefore, he argues, it follows that the computer would not be able to understand the conversation either.
Searle argues that, without "understanding" (or "intentionality"), we cannot describe what the machine is doing as "thinking" and, since it does not think, it does not have a "mind" in anything like the normal sense of the word. Therefore, he concludes that the "strong AI" hypothesis is false.

In short, the code reads in a CSV file containing 3 columns (club, city, country), and converts it into a list of jsons.
In more detail:
This code imports the JSON package, then it opens a text file called 'csv_file.txt' and assigns this file to the variable 'csv_file'. Next, an empty list called json_list is created. The code then loops through the lines of the content of the text file, strips the lines of all white spaces, and splits each word by a comma.
Then a dictionary is created with 3 keys (club, city, and country) and 3 values (club, city, and country) respectively. Then this json_dict now in JSON format is added to the json_list created earlier.
The csv_file text file is then closed.
|
Tell me what the following code does
import json
csv_file = open('csv_file.txt', 'r')
json_list = []
for line in csv_file.readlines():
club, city, country = line.strip().split(',')
json_dict = {'club': club,
'city': city,
'country': country
}
json_list.append(json_dict)
csv_file.close()

The original code counts the number of lowercase vowels in a string, but the count should probably be case-insensitive. Here is a case-insensitive version.
function countVowels(str) {
let vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'];
let count = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
if (vowels.includes(str[i].toLowerCase())) {
count++;
}
}
return count;
}
|
Can you find and correct any logical errors in the following code snippet and output the corrected code?
function countVowels(str) {
let vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'];
let count = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
if (vowels.includes(str[i])) {
count++;
}
}
return count;
}

The earth is threatened when aliens finally make contact, and we find out that they've been here all along. The orcas in the ocean were the first exploratory force for a whole race of conquerors — and we discover the true origins of the term "killer whale".
Humanity finds out the only way to survive is to pollute the ocean at an even higher rate. Oil companies and megacorporations are the heroes, as they pollute the water in hopes of making the planet so unattractive to the invaders that they leave.

Chick-Fil-A will test a new cauliflower sandwich starting Monday, February 13th in Denver; Charleston, South Carolina; and the Greensboro-Triad region of North Carolina. Chick-Fil-A has been working on this plant-based sandwich for nearly four years. It will resemble their famous classic sandwich, but using cauliflower instead of chicken.
|
Summarize this news story to only include essential information.
News story:
Chick-fil-A will test its first plant-based entree: a cauliflower sandwich.
The new sandwich closely resembles its famous chicken sandwich, but uses breaded and pressure-cooked cauliflower in place of meat.
Starting Monday, the privately owned chain, which is the third-largest in the U.S. by sales, will test the menu item in Denver; Charleston, South Carolina; and the Greensboro-Triad region of North Carolina.
Chick-fil-A said it’s been working on a plant-based sandwich for nearly four years, right around when chains like Dunkin’ and Restaurant Brands International’s Burger King were putting Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods substitutes on their menus. But meat alternatives that closely resemble the real thing have fallen out of favor with consumers after a surge in popularity during pandemic lockdowns. Both Beyond and Impossible have recently laid off about a fifth of their workforces.“We explored every corner of the plant-based space in search of the perfect centerpiece for our plant-forward entrée,” Chick-fil-A Culinary Lead Stuart Tracy said in a statement. “Time and time again, we kept returning to cauliflower as the base of our sandwich.” Over the last decade, cauliflower has become a popular substitute for a plethora of different foods. Buffalo Wild Wings and countless bars serve fried cauliflower smothered in buffalo sauce as an alternative to chicken wings. Cauliflower has also popped up in pretzel form and – when finely chopped – as a rice substitute.

When I left, I forgot my hat
Or maybe, it was a bat?
But I can’t have a bat, I just have a hat

It looked at me funny,
And said ‘hey honey’
It was trying to run from my cat

The young duckling, Harriet, had always been an adventurous one. She loved learning about new things, and everything unique or new aroused her curiosity. One day, while in a big forest with her family, she saw a beautiful bird flying around a tree, and decided to chase after it. After an hour of following the bird, she realized she couldn't find her way back to her family and started calling out loudly. Unfortunately, no one heard her crying calls, and she spent three days in the forest, eating wild fruits she'd picked along. On the fourth day, a young, handsome duck, while on a hunt for food, found her as she was drinking water by a river. She explained to him what had happened to her, and he took her home and cared for her. His tenderness and compassion drew her interest, and when the time came for her to return home with guidance from that duck's family, she decided to express her love for him. When their family met, they organized a wedding, got married, and they lived happily ever after.

Dear Reader,
I understand that you enjoy consuming meat, but have you ever thought of cutting it out? There are many reasons why consuming meat may be bad for your health. For example, consuming red meat has shown to increase your chances of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Also, continued consumption of red meat can lead to higher levels of inflammation. Meat consumption can also make it more difficult to maintain body weight and it carries a higher risk of foodbourne illnesses. Just these reasons alone should make you want to cut out the meat and adopt a vegetarian diet, which could be a more appropriate way to ensure longevity if your health.
There are many health benefits to becoming a vegetarian eater. It not only reduces your risk of developing cancer, it lowers your risk for heart disease. In addition, a vegetarian diet can help you lose excess weight and slow the aging process. There is less risk of foodbourne illnesses and food contaminants as well. Consuming a vegetarian diet also has positive effects on the climate. It reduces global warming as livestock generate more greenhouse gases, mostly from carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide gases generated by manure.
So you can clearly see, there are more benefits when adopting a plant based diet as opposed to continued consumption of meat. Making the switch is simple and there are many meat alternatives available on the market.

The code defines a function fibonacci that takes a single argument n. The function returns the nth number in the Fibonacci sequence, which is a sequence of numbers where each number is the sum of the previous two.
The function uses recursion to calculate the nth number in the sequence. If n is 0, the function returns 0. If n is 1, the function returns 1. For any other value of n, the function returns the sum of the (n-1)th and (n-2)th numbers in the sequence, which are calculated by calling the fibonacci function again with n-1 and n-2 as arguments.

Can you describe the functionality of the following code snippet?
def fibonacci(n):
if n == 0:
return 0
elif n == 1:
return 1
else:

According to the statement, yes, for the following reasons:
- Risk sentiment is shifting in favor of Bitcoin
- The macroeconomic environment is encouraging, since the Federal Reserve slowed its interest rate increases to 25 basis points
That said, some economists are foretelling a possible economic recession.

Is it a good moment to invest in Bitcoin according to this statement? Please explain why or why not.
Document: Bitcoin experienced its second-best January in ten years, and risk sentiment is shifting in favor of the formerly troubled currency. The price of bitcoin has increased dramatically (42%), starting in 2023 at about $16,600 and currently sitting at over $23,700 as of 2 February. More crucially, the macroeconomic environment is also encouraging, with the Federal Reserve slowing its interest rate increases to 25 basis points at its meeting this month, even though some economists are foretelling a possible economic recession.
