Write me a short fanfic about Meghan and Harry - keep it clean, make it current, and include some subtle trauma. Make it a little old-fashioned in tone, maybe a tad Gothic. | [

] | full | Meghan crept through the silent house, trying not to wake the sleeping babies. She had always been afraid of the dark, but since moving into Nott-Cott with her husband and newborn twins, she'd found solace in nighttime wanderings, when the rest of the household slumbered. She'd tiptoed past the nursery, where the twins slept peacefully in their cribs, and made her way to the room that had been assigned to her as a dressing room/sitting area.
She slipped inside and closed the door behind her, leaning against it to catch her breath. This room was different from the others; it felt like her own space, tucked away from prying eyes. But there was something unsettling about this room too...she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
She wandered over to the dresser and sat down in front of the mirror. Her eyes met those of her reflection, and for a moment, they stared at each other. Then she began to brush out her long hair, the bristles scratching softly as she worked. As she brushed, she noticed something peculiar: a small piece of paper stuck between two of the teeth of the comb. It was an old ticket stub, yellowed with age.
"Where did you come from?" she wondered aloud. She pulled the ticket free and examined it carefully. It looked like it might have belonged to a concert or play, but she didn't recognize the name of the venue. There was an address printed on the back - an address that looked eerily familiar. Suddenly, memories flooded her mind. She recalled finding this ticket stub in one of her old purses years ago, during a particularly rough time in her life. How had it ended up here?
Feeling a bit spooked now, she pushed herself up from the stool and went over to the tall, high chest of drawers. She yanked open the top drawer and peered inside. What she saw gave her goosebumps. There, nestled amongst old fine arts posters, Dr. Seuss books, old trophies, and some of her favorite high school clothing items, lay a photo album. It was an album she remembered owning as a teenager, one that had gone missing shortly after her mother's passing.
The children were still asleep, so she decided to take the album downstairs and read it by the light of the kitchen. It was probably just her imagination playing tricks on her, but a part of her thought that someone else might have placed that album there, waiting for her to find it. At 5 am, she sat alone at the kitchen table, reading through the pages of her mother's last gift to her. | Every time Meghan forgot about that dream, it would come back to startle her. Each and every time she thought, "I'll tell my therapist about it," but then thoughts of the dream would fade away in the course of her very busy day, and other concerns would take their place. Besides, her husband's sleepy face and the feeling of his muscular body against hers would make the past seem irrelevant, at least for the moment. He has his own traumas to deal with, she would tell herself, though this was a contradictory thought because she relied as much on his solidity as he relied on her good taste. She knew they could talk about anything, and yet... this one was tough.
She would dream of a house. It was a bit like Nott-Cott, and a bit like Frogmore, but not really... there were elements of California in there too, but not current California - this was something from the 80s. This house felt like a whole past life. She found family heirlooms mixed with Dr. Seuss books, old trophies, and old fine arts posters you might find in the room of an aspirational teenager, plus some of her favorite high school clothing items in a high chest of drawers. But there was a whole sector of the house she could not visit. She would not visit. Evil lurked there. She had a memory of having visited those rooms, and terror struck her heart.
Each time, she woke up winded. Harry would take her in his arms and ask, "Are you all right, my love?" and she would say "Yes." This morning would be different. It was 5 am, and the children were still asleep. The house personnel was busily preparing the day's business downstairs, and Meghan would seize the moment. They would have coffee in bed, and she would tell him all about it. But first, she slipped down into the sheets and wrapped her arms around her sleeping husband's back, planting a kiss between his shoulder blades. |

2023 man: (looks at his own clothes, which are a neon pink polo shirt, light blue surf shorts, and rubber slippers) What, this? I always wear this. Or an Aloha shirt if I'm working. Wait, where are you from?
11th Century man: What do you mean? I'm of the Norman tribes. My people have lived in England for a century.
2023 man: Dude, it's 2023! You're from the past!
11th Century man: Peculiar...tell me about the future. I want to know everything. Do we finally conquer the West?
2023 man: Oh, yeah...about that...sometime in the 18th Century, a group of your people leave England because your king during that time was imposing too many taxes on the people, and so this group of Englanders decide to sail west to the new land. When we got there, we colonized it and created a new country: America.

I want to learn more about your time period. What was it like living in the 11th century?
Man 2 (11th Century): It was a very different time indeed. For one, we had just come off a major war with our previous ruler. He tried to take more of our land than he should've, and we fought hard to win back what was rightfully ours.
Man 1: That sounds intense. Did you guys ever think about leaving? You know, sailing away to a new land?
Man 2: We did have some groups leave, but they were mostly outcasts or those who didn't fit into society here. We had just taken control of this land ourselves, after all. We couldn't let anyone else claim it before we could properly settle it. Plus, the seas are treacherous. Many would die attempting that feat.
Man 1: That makes sense. So, tell me, how do you guys govern yourselves?
Man 2: Well, since we're still building our nation, we still follow the old ways. We have a king, and he appoints sheriffs and knights to help him rule. But even though we have a strong leader, we still make sure everyone has a say in things by calling town meetings. Everyone gathers together to discuss important matters and decide what is best for the community.
Man 1: That sounds similar to our system, but instead of having a king, we have something called a president. And instead of a sheriff, we have police officers. We also don't have knights anymore, but we do have soldiers who protect us. However, instead of gathering at a town meeting, we vote on things through secret ballots.
Man 2: That sounds very interesting. How does that work exactly?
Man 1: Well, in a representative democracy, the people have the power to elect officials who will represent them in government. Those elected officials then make decisions on behalf of the people. The people can remove them if they decide they are not doing a good job. As far as voting goes, we have a system where people can choose who they want to see in office by secretly marking a ballot.
Man 2: That sounds complicated. Do you guys still use letters to communicate? Or have you found another way to send messages?
Man 1: Oh yeah, we definitely have electronic devices now that allow us to talk to each other all over the world. When enemies approached our lands, we used to carry lit torches so we could communicate. We also used flags and sigils to notify others of our identity and origin.
Man 2: That sounds amazing. I wish I could see these "electronic devices" you speak of. Can you show me?
Man 1: Of course! Let me go get my phone real quick. *gets phone* Here, check this out!
Man 2: Wow! That looks like pure magic to me! |

One day, you receive a request from the local villagers to investigate some strange noises that have been occurring at night. You agree to help them, and in the evening, you instruct your servants to ready your equipment and your gallant horse. As night falls, you set out towards the village, determined to get to the bottom of this mystery.
Upon arriving at the village, you meet with the village guards, who explain the noises to you. They tell you that at night, they hear a loud howling sound coming from an abandoned castle on the outskirts of the village. The villagers are afraid that it might be a pack of wolves or even a dragon. The guards ask for your assistance in investigating these strange happenings. What do you do?
A) Go to the castle immediately to search for the source of the noise
B) Ask the villagers if they know anything about the castle's history
C) Visit the local tavern to gather information about the strange occurrences
D) Return home, feeling that this task is beneath you
Choose your next action: | You are Sir Baldrick, a proud knight of some renown. You are a hero to the local peasants, and they have come to your manor to beseech your help. Being the heroic knight that you are, you are glad to be of assistance and listen to their pleas. Supposedly, there have been some unnerving sounds during the night in the village, and even the village guards have become afraid of something possibly dangerous out in the forest. Never one to be scared, you agree to investigate during the night, immediately relieving the peasants, and they start showering you with their thanks and blessings. As the peasants leave, you instruct your servants to ready your equipment in the evening, and they help you armor up in your expensive plate armor, bring you your sword and heraldric shield, and rear up your gallant horse. With the sun setting, you head off, certain you'll deal with whatever beast it is, calm the peasant's worries, be greeted with cheers and praise, and share a celebration among the peasantry by midday tomorrow.
It doesn't take long to reach the village, and night is nearly here. You meet with the village guards who are glad to see you, and they explain the noises to you as well, mentioning that the noises always seem to come from the east through a heavy patch of forest. You thank them, and ride your horse close to the forested area to the east, keeping the village to your back. You yawn, and for a moment you are afraid that tonight might be completely uneventful, and that you would have to attempt this several more times before you were successful. But, just as your worries grew, you started hearing something rustling through the trees and accompanying that rustling was an unearthly howl that sent shivers down your spine. Before you could decide how to react, you also heard a woman's scream from the village! Knowing you could not be in two places at once, you had to make a decision.
1. Sally forth and investigate the thing making the unearthly howl in the trees.
2. Return to the village and discover where the woman's scream came from.
3. Retreat to your manor, leaving the village to its fate. |

Each day after school, the little numbers would go home and do different things. Number 1 was the fastest runner so she ran every day. Number 2 was a great swimmer and spent her free time in the pool. Number 3 fenced like a musketeer and played hockey. Number 4 golfed a lot and also played football and basketball. She was very athletic! Number 5 climbed high places. Number 6 danced all the time. She was always moving her body. Number 7 was very quiet but loved to read books. Number 8 wrote stories and poems. Number 9 loved cats and played baseball.
One day, all the little numbers met up at home and decided to play together. They played tag and Number 1 was "it". When she tagged another number, that number had to do 5 jumping jacks before running away. Then, Number 2 went swimming and brought back a fish for everyone to eat. Afterward, they sat down to eat lunch together as a family.
"Hey!" said Number 3. "Let's play a game where we add ourselves together and see how much we get!"
"Okay!" said Number 4. "I'll start with you, Number 3."
"Plus 3 equals... 4!" said Number 4.
"Next is me," said Number 5. "So now it's 4 plus 5 equals... 9!"
"Me next!" said Number 6. "So now it's 9 plus 6 equals... 8!"
"I'm next," said Number 7. "But wait, if I add myself to the equation, then the answer will change!"
"That's right!" said Number 8. "You have to remember which numbers you've already added when doing addition problems. It's like telling a story with numbers!"
"Right!" said Number 9. "And my number comes last. So now it's 8 plus 9 equals... 10!"
Everyone cheered because they got exactly 10 as expected. They realized that even though they were all different, when they worked together using addition, they could achieve anything!
| Once upon a time, there was a city called Numeral City. The little numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 were all little children to their parents 10 and 11. In this beautiful city, the little numbers were allowed to do whatever their little hearts desired as long as they were well-behaved. Well, this pertains to their free time when not in school. They did what they liked because they listened to their parents.
So what did the little numbers do? Well?
1 played sports and played to win.
2 liked to follow the other little numbers and played soccer and danced.
3 fenced like a musketeer and played hockey.
4 golfed a lot and played basketball and football.
5 climbed high places.
6 drank soda pop from cans and worked on their abs.
7 dreamt a lot and was very close to 11.
8 cooked and ate a lot of food and played pool.
9 played baseball and loved cats.
On the holidays, all of the numbers hung out. They loved to play addition. To do this, they would stand next to each other and the other numbers would yell the sum of the two numbers standing together.
1 plus 9 is TEN
2 plus 6 is EIGHT
3 plus 8 is ELEVEN
4 plus 5 is NINE
All was well in Numeral City in the end.

So you have your income and know what you spend your money on. Great. This exercise should be easy if you spend less than you make each month. If not, then prepare to make some sacrifices. Every unique category from your spending analysis now forms your budget categories. Populate these categories with figures making sure to account for your savings goals and debt payments.
DO NOT EXCEED YOUR BUDGET.
| 1. Income: How much do you take home each month? What are your sources of income?
2. Expenses: List out every single expense you have per month. Include things like rent/mortgage, utilities, groceries, entertainment, and anything else that costs money.
3. Debt: Make a list of any debts you owe. This can include credit cards, student loans, mortgages, or other types of debt.
4. Savings: Do you have an emergency fund set up? Are you saving for retirement? Where is your money going?
5. Investments: Do you have investments such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds? Or perhaps assets such as a house, car, or valuable collectibles?
Having this information written down will help you see where your money is going and if there are areas where you could cut back. It's also important to have goals when it comes to your finances. These goals should be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound).
For example, a goal might be to pay off debt by cutting expenses. This would include finding ways to lower your monthly bills so that you have more money available to put toward debt payments. You could also use the 50/30/20 rule as a guideline. This means that 50% of your income goes toward necessities, 30% toward discretionary spending, and 20% toward saving and paying off debt.
It's also important to remember that having multiple streams of income is key to financial stability. This can come from a variety of places, including your main job, side hustles, investments, or even renting out a spare room in your house. Some people make good money from their side hustle selling eggs. The possibilities are endless!
Finally, don't forget to review your progress regularly. This will allow you to stay on track with your goals and make adjustments as needed. |

] | partial | According to a recent study, sleep apnea may lead to memory loss and other cognitive decline due to a lack of oxygen reaching the brain during sleep. This can be particularly concerning for older adults who are already more susceptible to age-related cognitive decline. The researchers used MRI scans to analyze the brains of 140 older adults with sleep apnea and found that those with more severe cases showed significant differences in areas responsible for memory and learning. | Here are the key points from this article:
A study has found that sleep apnea can lead to very serious health problems, specifically in older adults. Firstly, there are three types of sleep apnea - obstructive, central, and a mix of both. Obstructive is when airway muscles block someone's breathing, and central is when the brain doesn't send signals to the body to breathe. The health risks include cardiovascular disease, dementia, or even strokes depending on the severity. The constant interruptions in sleep keep them from getting restful sleep which leads to these issues. |

] | partial | Based on the provided claims, I can give a clear answer about the lawfulness of marketing flavored ENDS products:
Currently, it is not lawful to market flavored ENDS products in the United States. This conclusion is supported by several key claims:
1. ENDS products are required to receive prior authorization from the FDA before they can be lawfully marketed in the United States.
2. While the FDA has authorized 23 tobacco-flavored ENDS products for lawful marketing, the FDA has not authorized any flavored ENDS products.
3. Many applicants have received marketing denial orders (MDOs) for their flavored ENDS products.
However, it's worth noting that there is ongoing legal controversy around this issue:
- Multiple Circuit Courts have considered petitions related to flavored ENDS products
- Most Circuit Courts have sided with the FDA's denial of flavored ENDS products
- The Fifth and Eleventh Circuits have sided with ENDS manufacturers and vacated the FDA's marketing denial orders
- These applications have been remanded to the FDA for reconsideration
Despite this circuit split and ongoing litigation, the current status remains that flavored ENDS products cannot be lawfully marketed without FDA authorization, which has not been granted for any flavored products. | Based on the provided claims, the lawfulness of marketing flavored ENDS products is complex and currently disputed:
1. Historical Context: Many ENDS products were already being sold in the U.S. before 2016, and these products were allowed to remain on the market while the FDA implemented its application and review process.
2. Current Status:
- The FDA has implemented marketing denial orders (MDOs) against flavored ENDS products
- Multiple Circuit Courts have reviewed petitions challenging these denials
- Until recently, all circuits (Third through Eleventh) upheld the FDA's authority to deny flavored ENDS product marketing
- However, the Eleventh Circuit reversed this trend by siding with ENDS manufacturers and vacating the FDA's marketing denial orders
3. Legal Implications:
- While the FDA maintains its authority to regulate tobacco products under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (TCA)
- The current circuit split indicates ongoing legal challenges to the FDA's flavored ENDS product marketing restrictions
Therefore, whether it is lawful to market flavored ENDS products depends on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances. The legality is currently contested in the courts, with different circuits reaching different conclusions about the FDA's authority in this matter. |

Define the meaning of mythology. Tell me three stories from Greek or Roman times that are considered legends or folklore. Give me a short summary of each | [
"Greek and Roman mythologies often spoke of Titans.",
"Hercules is based on Grecian mythology.",
"Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos are tasked with weaving the fates of both humans and gods.",
"Clotho spins the thread of life from someone's birth.",
"Lachesis measures the length of the thread to determine the longevity of the fated person.",
"Atropos cuts the thread of life.",
"Athena accepted Arachne's challenge to the weaving contest.",
"Zeus is the father of Athena.",
"Arachne created a woven tapestry that mocked Athena by depicting Zeus's antics.",
"Athena turned Arachne into a spider.",
"Humans have always taken a liking to honey.",
"Bee journeyed to Mount Olympus."
] | full | Mythology can be defined as a collection of myths and legends from ancient cultures that explain natural phenomena, the creation of the world, or the lives and exploits of supernatural beings such as gods and goddesses.
1) Hercules: Based on Grecian Mythology, Hercules was known for his incredible strength and courage. He completed many tasks that were impossible for any ordinary man, which earned him great recognition.
2) The Fates: Greek and Roman mythologies often spoke of Titans, but none as feared as Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos who were tasked with weaving the fates of both humans and gods. Clotho would spin the thread of life from someone's birth, Lachesis would measure the length of the thread to determine how long the fated person would live, and finally, Atropos would cut the thread of life at the appointed time.
3) Arachne: A mortal named Arachne created a woven tapestry that mocked Athena by depicting Zeus (Athena's father) in one of his many extramarital affairs. Athena, not pleased with this affront, challenged Arachne to a weaving contest. In the end, even though Athena had won the contest, Arachne still refused to accept her apology, so she turned her into a spider.
4) The Bees: Humans have always taken a liking to honey, but did you know that it was actually the bees who took the first step? One day, a bee journeyed to Mount Olympus to complain about how much humans liked their honey. When he arrived, he found that the gods and goddesses were also fans of the sweet treat, and they agreed to give the bee a golden sword if he could bring them some ambrosia from the underworld. | Mythology is taken from the Grecian words for mythos and logos, meaning the story of people through word or voice. They are often tales about culture and human emotions and conditions, passed down through generations and retold hundreds of thousands of times. Some mythologies are fables in that they teach lessons, while others are explanations to explain things like death, love, life, and the universe.
Two of the most well-known cultures for mythologies are Greek and Roman. They often spoke of Gods, Goddesses, Titans, and Heroes. You’ve probably seen many of those cultures’ mythologies played out in modern books and movies. Hercules, for instance, is based on Grecian mythology, told, and retold, over centuries.
Here are three more instances of Greek or Roman myths.
• The Three Fated Sisters of Life and Death
Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos were three sisters, tasked with weaving the fates of both humans and gods. While Clotho spins the thread of life from someone’s birth, like an origin story, Lachesis is responsible for the continuation of the thread through life’s ups and downs. The latter measures the length of the thread to determine the longevity of the fated person. Finally, Atropos cuts the thread, foreseeing how someone will die.
• The Weaving Wars of Athena and Arachne
Arachne was a weaver, and she could create elaborate quilts and tapestries from simple threads. Radiant in her confidence, she challenged Athena, the goddess of the arts, to a weaving contest, and the goddess accepted. However, where Athena wove a tapestry that portrayed her hard-fought battle with Poseidon, Arachne mocked Athena with a woven tapestry of Zeus (Athena’s father) up to his naughty antics. Athena took great offense, turning Arachne into a spider, cursed to hang forever in her woven webs.
• The Curse of the Bee’s Sting
Humans have always taken a liking to honey, much to the chagrin of Bee, a hive queen in Rome. She journeyed to Mount Olympus, seeking counsel with Jupiter, to ask him to give her a stinger that would be so toxic that it would kill humans that stole her honey. Jupiter had a love for the human race, but he had made Bee a promise after tasting her delicious honey. The God King decided to teach her a lesson about wishing for the downfall of others. He granted her request, but at the price that she would die as well if she stung a human.

Hi intertubes, I’m looking at expanding my car parts business to create anodized finishes on aluminum. Can you explain this “720 rule” I keep hearing about? | [
"The current density in anodization should come out in units of Amps per square foot.",
"The desired thickness of the anodized layer is measured in mils.",
"One mil is equal to 0.001 inches.",
"The 720 value in the anodization equation is a known constant.",
"A constant-current device ensures that the electrical current that reaches the underlying surface remains constant."
] | full | Sure thing! When it comes to calculating the exact parameters for your anodization process, you will want to ensure that you are using the proper values and calculations so that you can get consistent results each time. To do this, you will need to know the desired thickness of the anodized layer (measured in mils, where one mil equals 0.001 inches) and the current density (which should come out in units of Amps per square foot). You can then plug these numbers into the anodization equation along with the 720 value (a known constant) and solve for the required time. Keep in mind that when using a constant-current device, the electrical current that reaches the underlying surface will remain constant, ensuring that your calculated times are as accurate as possible. | The 720 rule for anodization is most often used as a quick way to estimate the time it will take to create an anodized layer of the thickness you want. It’s an algebra formula, so you can also rearrange it to tell you how thick your layer will be after a specified time.
To use this formula you need to know two of the three variables listed here:
- Desired anodization layer thickness
- Current density
- Anodization time
The current density can itself be determined by dividing the anodization machine’s current output by your part’s surface area. It should come out in units of Amps per square foot. The desired thickness of the anodized layer is measured in mils (one mil is equal to 1/1000 inch or 0.001 inches)
Most users employ the 720 rule to decide how long to leave their part in the anodization bath. If that’s your goal, the equation will look like:
- Time (minutes) = 720 * desired thickness (mils) / current density (A/sq ft)
The 720 value in this equation is a known constant, so it’s the same each time you use the equation.
There are limitations to this equation. It only applies to parts made of aluminum (and a few exotic aluminum alloys have enough other elements that the rule doesn’t work). It also assumes that your anodization setup is a so-called constant-current style. A constant-current device must ramp up the voltage as the anodization layer gets thicker so that the electrical current that reaches the underlying surface remains constant. Constant-current devices are the most common in the industry.
If those qualifications are met, the 720 rule should give you good estimations of how much time parts need to spend in the anodization bath. |

Hi, I need 10 reasons why I should get a pet frog. I'm on the fence about it, but my best friend loves frogs and keeps trying to talk me into it. Thank you! | [
"Each frog and toad species has unique traits.",
"Some frogs make vibrating sounds.",
"Tropical varieties of frogs, such as red-eye tree frogs and poison dart frogs, can be bought online.",
"Captive varieties of poison dart frogs are not poisonous.",
"Some species of frogs can live for twenty years if cared for correctly."
] | full | Sure thing! Here's a list of ten reasons why you might want to consider getting a pet frog:
1. They're low maintenance: Unlike dogs or cats, frogs don't require a lot of attention or exercise. You simply need to feed them, clean their enclosure, and check on them daily to ensure they have adequate water and heat.
2. They're quiet: Frogs don't make much noise, so they won't disturb you or your neighbors like a barking dog might.
3. They come in different varieties: There are many types of frogs and toads that you can choose from, each with unique traits. Some even make vibrating sounds!
4. They can be handled gently: If you do decide to handle your frog, you'll find they become quite tame over time. Be sure to wash your hands first, though!
5. They're relatively inexpensive: Compared to larger pets, frogs are cheap to care for since they eat less food and require smaller enclosures.
6. You can buy tropical varieties online: If you want a brightly colored frog, you can try buying a tropical variety (like the red-eye tree frog or poison dart frog) online. Just keep in mind captive varieties aren't actually poisonous.
7. Some species can live a long time: With proper care, some species of frogs can live for twenty years or more. This is definitely something to think about before committing to owning a pet frog.
8. They're good for kids: Since frogs are relatively easy to care for and don't take up too much space, they make great classroom pets or pets for children who want to learn about responsibility and animal care.
9. They promote learning: Frogs offer an excellent opportunity to teach kids about life cycles, habitats, and ecosystems.
10. They're cute: Let's face it – frogs are pretty adorable, especially when they're young!
I hope this helps you make up your mind about getting a pet frog! | Frogs are incredible animals, and here are ten reasons why you should get one:
1. Frogs are relatively low-maintenance pets. Each species requires different care, so you should still research them heavily before you bring one into your living space, but they largely stay in their tanks and don't need you to walk or play with them like a dog or cat.
2. You can choose from hundreds of frog and toad species, each with unique traits. They have different songs, patterns, food and environment preferences, and levels of friendliness--yes, a frog can be friendly! Some are easier to care for than others as well.
3. Frogs delight you with their charming love songs. Look them up online, and see which one is your favorite. They have a range of different sounds: some croak, some bark, and some even make vibrating sounds.
4. You don't need a lot of space for a pet frog. If you live in an apartment, your landlord may permit a frog even if they don't let you have other types of pets. Just make sure that their tank is the right size for their species. They need plenty of room to climb and grow.
5. Frogs are affordable. You'll sink some money into your new pet, but they don't need vaccinations, large quantities of expensive food (usually), or other expenses associated with mammals.
6. If you don't have a pet store in your area, you can order frogs and toads online. This broadens your options because even pet stores carry a limited selection of species--if they carry frogs at all. You can even buy tropical varieties, such as red-eye tree frogs and poison dart frogs (captive varieties aren't poisonous.)
7. Frogs are important, but they're not a lifetime commitment. You should still do your research because some species can live for twenty years if you care for them correctly. However, your pet probably won't outlive you as some species might.
8. If you have kids, having a frog is a good way to teach them about responsibility and pet ownership without committing to a large mammal.
9. You can gently handle frogs and toads as long as you wash your hands first and wear rubber gloves.
10. Multiple frogs can live in the same tank if it's large enough--just do your research to make sure that you don't overcrowd them. Additionally, if you end up with male and female pairs, watch out for eggs! Frogs get frisky during mating season.
On a final note, make sure you buy frogs from a reputable pet store or breeder. Some kidnap them from other countries, causing many to die in transit, or breed them in unsafe conditions. Support people who treat frogs ethically. They're little lives, but they're just as important as any other creature. |
Write a story about waiting for a bus. | [

"Herb had heterochromatic eyes.",
"Herb has one brown eye.",
"Herb has one pale blue eye.",
"A rough, low voice said, \"What are you looking at?\"",
"The phrase \"eyes are a window to the soul\" is a common saying."
] | full | Stupid bloody eye, Herb thought. Stupid bloody eye always fizzing up just when it shouldn't. Herb was caught in the rain. At a bus stop. In the bad part of town. And now, to top off his apocalyptic day, his eye was going.
Herb had heterochromatic eyes. That's what the doctors had said. Ghost eye, the kids said. One brown and one pale blue. The pale blue eye would occasionally roll around or look in a different direction to the brown one.
Herb shuddered. The rain had trickled under his collar, soaking him through. Waiting for the bus in the rain, eh Herb, he thought. When did my life come to this? The eye was really rolling around now. Glaring and wincing and weeping.
Damned, quivering jelly. He rubbed at it, but it just itched and fizzed harder. A man sidled up from the rain and stood next to him under the dilapidated shelter. Waiting.
He felt the young man's eyes on him, sizing him up. Did Herb look wealthy today? Does anyone look rich sopping wet at a bus stop? Could Brad Pitt pull it off?
"What are you looking at?" It was a rough, low voice. It ripped through the rain and splashed. Herb froze in horror. His eye was pointed at the man, wincing and scowling at him. Herb raised his hand to cover it, but the damage was done.
"I said," the man repeated, "What are you looking at?" Herb really didn't want to deal with this, so he ignored it. That's a good and healthy way to do it, thought Herb. I'll just pretend I didn't hear, and it'll be fine.
It was not fine. Herb was hauled around by the shoulders and forced to look at the man. "Think you're funny, do y-" the voice was cut off as it made contact with Herb's ghost eye.
Herb could never see what they saw. It was always horrific. They say eyes are a window to the soul. Herb's eye was a mirror but darkly. People did not like what they saw in his eye.
The man backed away, screaming. He sprinted off into the rain. Herb sighed and went back to waiting for the bus. | Herb was always late. He left his house with plenty of time to spare, but then he would take a wrong turn or get distracted by something shiny. His friends were used to it. But today, Herb's lateness could have serious consequences. Today, Herb was supposed to meet his girlfriend at the bus station so they could go home together after her shift at work.
As Herb sat on the bench outside the bus station, he couldn't help but think that this was not how he envisioned their relationship going. They were supposed to be holding hands, strolling through the park, and sipping lemonade on the porch. Instead, they were stuck in this dingy, run-down town with nothing but dust and tumbleweeds as far as the eye could see. And now, it seemed that Herb was going to miss their meeting altogether because he didn't realize he took the wrong bus stop.
He sighed and stood up from his seat, stretching his lanky frame. As he did, he caught a glimpse of himself in a nearby storefront window. He looked like a skeleton, his cheekbones jutting out in sharp relief against his pale skin. It made him shudder. He needed to eat more often. When he turned back around, he noticed two men staring at him from across the street. One of them was very large and had a menacing scowl on his face. The other was smaller, but there was something unsettling about him that sent shivers down Herb's spine. What were these people thinking? Did they not know that eyes are a window to the soul? Herb's eyes were definitely windows into another world. He had heterochromatic eyes: one brown, and one pale blue. It made him look like an alien sometimes. But what really bothered him was when people stared too long. It gave him the feeling that they could see right through him.
The large man began walking towards Herb, his movements slow and deliberate. Herb tried to walk away, but his legs felt heavy, as if rooted to the spot. That's when the smaller man spoke up, his voice grating on Herb's nerves. "What are you looking at?" he growled. Herb swallowed hard before replying, "I'm sorry. I don't want to stare." |

Write a story introduction about a close-knit winter village that isn't too fond of outsiders. The village should be protecting a dark secret. Keep it opaque and write as if you're setting the stage for a book. Introduce the protagonist's name in the last line. | [

"Houses in Wintersvain were sprawled unevenly along the snow banks."
] | full | Wintersvain was a village that you wouldn't find if you weren't looking for it, and it was supposed to be that way. The people were cold, just like the weather. With the weight of the village's secrets, it was easier to be quiet and bear your burdens alone.
Visitors were few and seldom; they rarely returned. Inevitably, some vacationers who had decided to forgo the traditional luxuries of hotels and vacation planners in favor of saving a few pennies would drive through the narrow pass into Wintersvain.
The car would lurch and sputter, inevitably giving out just in front of the only inn available. It was the home of Mr. Crink, who had opened it up to visitors to supplement his income as a butcher. If the idea of raw meat and clean linens sits uncomfortably with you, then you might well understand why some visitors would risk the 3-hour drive to get to the nearest vestige of civilization rather than staying there.
Still, the village had charm, if only in the quaint, ghost town kind of way. It might have been more comforting if the village were completely abandoned; that way, visitors wouldn't have to reckon with the unsettling fact that people chose to live there. Houses were sprawled unevenly along the snow banks, an apparent indicator that there had been no housing planner.
The people weren't happy about living in Wintersvain, but they underwent what they must. The world could not handle its secrets—at least, not if the status quo was to be maintained; however, all of that would change when Ms. Gracy Corwell, a small-town journalist, pulled into the inn on a cold January night. | It was said that those who traveled down the mountain pass during the winter months would find themselves at the edge of the world, staring into the abyss. They'd say that the wind howled like a pack of wolves and the snowdrifts reached as high as the pine trees. But I think they lied.
For one thing, the road wound its way through the mountains, and then suddenly, it dropped off the other side, where a quaint little village lay nestled within the valley. It was called Wintersvain, and visitors were seldom, but when they did come, they rarely returned.
Wintersvain was the home of Mr. Crink, who had once been a butcher, but when he found himself unable to cut meat due to arthritis, he opened an inn to make ends meet. His wife took care of the cooking, which was always savory and filling. However, guests often complained that the room was too cold, and the bed creaked with every movement. The sheets were itchy, and the pillows smelled like mildew. Still, they ate their meals and slept in the rooms because that was what you did when you went somewhere new – you stayed at the local inn.
The village itself was small enough that you could walk from one end to the other in under 20 minutes. The houses were sprawled unevenly along the snowbanks, indicating that there had never been any sort of housing planner. The people were friendly but distant, and they never asked much about your life outside the village. In fact, most of them didn't ask anything at all; they simply nodded at you when you walked by. You could tell that everyone knew each other's business without ever asking. It was a tight-knit community, and outsiders weren't encouraged.
Despite the initial unease, travelers often came to enjoy the peacefulness of the place. There was something calming about watching the snow fall gently over the rooftops, listening to the soft crackle of firewood burning in the hearth. Maybe it was the smell of roasting meats wafting through the air, or perhaps it was the taste of warm bread fresh out of the oven. Whatever it was, it made strangers feel welcome, even if only for a short time. And so, they'd sit at the bar drinking ale and swapping stories until it was time to leave. Then, they'd bid farewell to the locals and head back up the mountain pass.
And that was where things usually ended. That was where the stories stopped, and reality began again. But not this time. This time, the stranger's name was Mr. Blackwood, and he was different from the rest. He had secrets of his own, and Wintersvain had some of its own to keep as well. |

] | full | ABAB refers to the rhyme scheme of a poem. A rhyme scheme is a pattern of sounds that repeat at the end of the line or stanza of a poem. So in an ABAB pattern, the first and third lines rhyme with each other and the second and fourth lines rhyme. For example:
I have a rat (A)
I have a mouse (B)
I have a cat (A)
I have a house (B)
Some examples of famous ABAB poems are:
"Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" - Thomas Gray
"Neither Out Far Nor in Deep" - Robert Frost
"Ballade of Modest Confession" - Hilaire Belloc
"Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day" (Sonnet 18) - William Shakespeare | A rhyme scheme is a pattern of sounds that repeat at the end of the line or stanza of a poem. An ABAB pattern means that the first and third lines (the "A" lines) rhyme with each other, and the second and fourth lines (the "B" lines) rhyme with each other. Here's an example from Edgar Allen Poe's famous poem "The Bells":
"Hear the sledges with the bells—
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
Tinkling, tinkling, tinkling, tinkling,
Hark! The sleigh bell's merriment!"
In this example, the words "bells" and "melody" are the "A" rhymes, and the words "tinkling" and "merriment" are the "B" rhymes. |

] | partial | Based on the provided claims, here's how COLAs (Cost-of-Living Adjustments) are considered in determining Medicaid eligibility:
1. Under Section 503 of P.L. 94-566 (known as the "Pickle Amendment"), states must provide Medicaid coverage for individuals who would still be eligible for SSI/SSP if not for increases in their Social Security benefits due to COLAs.
To qualify for Medicaid coverage under this pathway, individuals must meet several criteria:
- They must be receiving Social Security benefits
- They must have been eligible for and receiving both SSI/SSP and Social Security concurrently for at least one month after April 1, 1977
- They must have lost SSI/SSP but would still be eligible for those benefits if Social Security COLAs received since losing SSI/SSP were deducted from their income
It's worth noting that states operating under the 209(b) option have some flexibility - they may exclude all, some, or none of the Social Security benefit increases that caused ineligibility for SSI/SSP.
Additionally, Section 249E of P.L. 92-603 requires states to provide Medicaid coverage for individuals who would be eligible for SSI/SSP if not for the 1972 Social Security COLA enacted under P.L. 92-336. To qualify under this provision, individuals must have:
- Been entitled to Social Security benefits in August 1972
- Been receiving cash assistance under former adult assistance programs in August 1972
- Would be eligible for SSI/SSP if the 1972 COLA had not been applied to their Social Security benefits | Based on the provided claims, here's how COLAs (Cost-of-Living Adjustments) are considered in determining Medicaid eligibility:
1. Under Section 249E of P.L. 92-603, states are required to provide Medicaid coverage for individuals who would be eligible for SSI/SSP if not for the 1972 Social Security COLA enacted under P.L. 92-336. This applies specifically to individuals who:
- Were entitled to Social Security benefits in August 1972
- Would continue to be eligible for SSI/SSP if not for the increased benefits resulting from the 1972 COLA
This provision creates a pathway for Medicaid eligibility based on the impact of specific cost-of-living adjustments on SSI/SSP eligibility.
While there are other provisions mentioned in the claims regarding Medicaid eligibility (such as those related to widow(er)'s benefits and disabled adult children), the direct connection between COLAs and Medicaid eligibility determination appears to be limited to this specific section of the law. |

In 1948, Jimmy Weldon and Webster Webfoot moved to Duncan, Oklahoma, where "The Webster Webfoot Show" was produced locally by station WFAA-TV, a 50,000-watt radio station located in Dallas, Texas.
On September 5, 1952, Jimmy Weldon and Webster Webfoot joined KCOP-TV, Channel 13, in Hollywood and moved to California, continuing their television careers. They appeared together with movie stars Jeff Chandler and Randolph Scott, who collected tickets from children and parents during an appearance at a middle school in Brentwood, commented, "Our children think more of little Webster than they do OUR movie careers." Ralph Edwards gave them the positions as co-hosts of a new children's game show titled "Funny Boners."
In 1956, Jimmy Weldon and Webster moved to Fresno, California. NBC executives called them to New York to replace Shari Lewis on the "Hi, Mom" show. In 1961, they were called back to the San Joaquin Valley and continued performing their show on KJEO-TV, Channel 47, in Fresno, California, throughout the 1960s. They flew their airplane from city to city for their shows.
Jimmy Weldon earned the voice-over for the Hanna-Barbera cartoon character, Yakky Doodle, thanks to Webster's voice, and he performed many of the odd animal sounds for Hanna-Barbera cartoons. He has made numerous television appearances in acting on the shows "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and "The Waltons." |

BACKGROUND:
This is the magical equivalent of the Blarney stone - a magical stone in Ireland which, if kissed, is said to impart the "gift of the gab," or the ability to charm with words. Clary sage, or Salvia sclarea, the main ingredient of the spell, is said to confer wisdom as well as the gift of clarity, both important ingredients in the power of clear and persuasive speech. Used as an herbal remedy, it enhances confidence and aids perception.
The power of good speakers was recognized by many ancient cultures, particularly in those traditions whose survival depended on the skills of storytellers, bards, priests, and priestesses. The Celts particularly prized the skills of speech, and the power attributed to skilled speakers. The ability to always speak fair words and to charm any company is also said to be the gift of the fairies, or the "good folk."
HOW TO CAST THE SPELL
TIMING:
This charm is best performed on a waxing moon for the increase and on a Monday.
CASTING THE SPELL:
1. Cast a circle.
2. Light the charcoal disk and candle, saying:
"Power of the old ones
The high ones
The low ones
Power of the moon
Bestow fair speech
And it harm none."
3. Sprinkle sandalwood onto the charcoal disk and add three clary sage leaves, saying:
"This I offer to the old ones."
4. Bind three leaves together with thread and place them beneath the candle, saying:
"This I offer to the moon."
5. Place three leaves in a cup and pour on a teaspoon of honey. Then fill it with boiling water, saying:
"This I offer to myself."
6. At the next full moon, take the bound leaves outside. Offer them up to the moon, kiss them, then cast them into a natural water source as soon after as possible. | Spell of Eloquence
This spell uses the magical properties of clary sage to enhance your ability with words. It is said that this herb confers wisdom and the gift of clarity. Combine these qualities with the magic of the Blarney stone, which is said to impart the "gift of the gab" when kissed.
Many ancient cultures recognized the power of good speakers. The survival of some cultures depended on the skills of storytellers, bards, priests, and priestesses. The Celts were known to prize the skills of speech and attribute power to skilled speakers.
The Celts also believed that the power of speech could be used for both good and evil. Therefore, they would often seek out the counsel of wise women or druids before making important decisions.
You can use this spell to enhance your own natural talents with words, whether it's for public speaking, writing, or simply to express yourself more clearly.
When to Cast:
Best performed on a Monday (the Moon day) and during a waxing moon for an increase.
How to Cast:
1. Take three pinches of dried clary sage and place them in a small bowl.
2. Add three drops of peppermint oil to the bowl and mix well.
3. Sit comfortably with your back straight and close your eyes.
4. Inhale the fragrance of the herbs deeply through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth.
5. As you inhale, repeat the following incantation three times:
"I call upon the powers of the earth,
To grant me the gift of clear expression,
That my words may be filled with wisdom."
6. When you have finished, kiss your finger tips and then your lips, sealing the magic within yourself.

- Provide reasonable accommodations for pregnant workers
- Make these accommodations even if a pregnancy-related condition does not amount to a disability

- Requiring reasonable accommodations determined through case-specific assessment
- Allowing accommodations that include reassignment of essential job functions
- Prohibiting employers from requiring employees to take leave if a reasonable accommodation would allow them to keep working
The PWFA, which became effective on June 27, 2023, was specifically modeled on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and focused on providing accommodations for pregnant workers, addressing a significant gap in protection that existed under the PDA.
These improvements were made while maintaining the requirement that accommodations be reasonable and not present an undue hardship to the employer. | Based on the provided claims, here are the key limitations of the PDA that were addressed by the PWFA:
1. Under the PDA, the statute did not necessarily require employers to make workplace changes simply because they were requested by pregnant employees. In contrast, the PWFA explicitly required employers to:
- Modify workplace conditions to accommodate pregnancy-related conditions
- Provide reasonable accommodations for pregnant workers
- Determine these accommodations through case-specific assessments
2. While the PDA protected employees from various forms of adverse action (including firing, demotion, and forced leave), it didn't specifically address the need for workplace modifications. The PWFA filled this gap by requiring reasonable accommodations, which could include:
- Reassignments of essential job functions
3. The PWFA's focus on accommodations was significant because many pregnant individuals faced impairments severe enough to qualify as disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This meant that pregnant workers could bring both ADA claims and PWFA claims for accommodations.
The PWFA represented a substantial expansion of protections compared to the PDA, particularly regarding the requirement for workplace accommodations tailored to individual needs. |

] | full | Laser welding devices do not use an electrical arc, plasma arc or gas flame. Instead, they might employ neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet lasers or fiber lasers. These beams are directed at a focal point where they generate immense heat that melts the base material and forms a weld pool. This pool of melted material can be controlled in terms of width, depth and temperature.
Laser welders have precision that matches well with computer control mechanisms which are inherently more precise than human operators. As such, laser welders are perfect for high-precision projects like circuit boards, jet engines, medical implants and jewelry. Furthermore, many laser welding devices can create welds in plastics and certain ceramic materials. They've even proven capable of welding dissimilar metals to one another.
That said, laser welding devices are more expensive than other welders with comparable power outputs. Additionally, trained staff for laser welding are harder to come by than traditional welding experts. In most cases, parts need to be carefully prepared as laser welders are less forgiving of imperfect edges than other welding styles. Finally, laser welders are more hazardous to your eyesight than other welding devices so specialty eye protection is a must when one is operating. | Laser welders differ in a number of ways, but the biggest is the heat source. Simply put, laser welding devices heat and melt the target material using a laser beam rather than an electrical arc, plasma arc, or gas flame.
Laser welders may employ carbon dioxide lasers, neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet lasers, fiber lasers, or disk lasers. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages, but they’re all more precise than non-laser types of welders. The fine focus of a laser beam means the pool of melted material generated by the device can be carefully controlled in terms of width, depth, and temperature. That precision also matches well with computer control mechanisms which themselves are more precise than human operators. Taken together, all these advantages make laser welders perfect for high-precision projects on items like circuit boards, jet engines, medical implants, jewelry, and more.
As an added bonus, many laser welding devices can create welds in certain ceramic materials and plastics. They’ve also proven capable of welding dissimilar metals to one another. None of these things are possible with traditional welding methods.
No technology is perfect, though. Laser welding devices are more expensive than other welders with comparable power outputs. They also demand trained staff who are harder to come by than traditional welding experts. In most cases, the parts themselves need to be carefully prepared; laser welders are less forgiving of imperfect edges than other welding styles. Finally, they are actually more hazardous to eyesight than other welding devices; specialty eye protection is a must when a laser welder is operating. |

4. Biologists rely on calculus equations to accurately predict the growth rate of bacteria and other microbes. Other similar applications are in the realm of patient diagnosis; calculating cardiac output, blood pressure, and cell and tumor growth are all possible through Calculus. | Calculus, being a branch of mathematics that allows us to study continuous change, has many uses and applications in specialist fields. Here are some examples:
1. Weather Forecasting
Scientists consider factors such as pressure and moisture levels when creating an equation that will form the base of weather forecasting, even though there are many sensors used in this field today. Understanding how these elements interact at a micro level helps meteorologists make fairly accurate predictions about the weather.
2. Building Construction
Building construction requires differential and integral calculus to correctly measure variables like weight, area, height, and material density. Civil engineers and architects use these skills every day in their professions.
3. Robotics
The ability to calculate the space occupied by a moving object or its path makes it possible to create mobile robots that can perform tasks based on calculus-based equations. This branch of mathematics can be used to coordinate the variables required for movement (distance, acceleration, and velocity) with precision.
4. Patient Diagnosis
Biologists rely on calculus equations to predict the growth rate of other microbes. This branch of mathematics can be used to calculate cardiac output, blood pressure, cell and tumor growth which can all be used in patient diagnosis. |

I’ve heard that some U.S. states have enacted a ban on single-use plastic bags at retail and grocery stores. Can you summarize the main points made in this article? Keep it to three sentences and include the states that have imposed this ban.
Article:
What is the Plastic Bag Ban?
As the name states, these bans are bans on single-use plastic bags. Many states around the nation are beginning their bans on plastic bags. These bans will ban all single-use plastic bags, such as the ones that are popularly used at grocery stores and in restaurants for take-out orders.
With these bans in effect, single-use plastic bags will not be accessible for purchase to both shoppers and business owners. As a result, paper bags and reusable cloth bags can be used as an alternative.
Why Should Plastic Bags be Banned?
It’s a fair question. According to different state regulators there are multiple reasons some states are deciding to put these bans in effect, including:
The amount of time it takes plastic bags to decompose
Did you know it can take up to 1,000 years for a plastic bag to decompose?
The damage it can do to our food sources
As plastic breaks down, it makes its way into our water systems—where fish and other sea life consume it, contaminating our food sources with micro-plastics.
The difficulty of recycling them
Plastic bags are very difficult to recycle; and according to the EPA, around 93 billion plastic bags don’t get recycled each year. In 2018, less than 9% of all used plastics were recycled.
The pollution they create, both in the making of plastic bags and in their use
Single-use plastic bags are statistically one of the world’s leading pollutant. A total of 300 million tons of toxic plastic waste is produced every year just in the creation of plastic bags.
Many states across the US are looking to ban plastic bags in an attempt to minimize any future pollution that could be created as a result of plastic bag creation and use.
Which States are Banning Plastic Bags?
The states that have already banned single-used plastic bags include:
California
Connecticut
Delaware
Hawaii
Maine
New York
Oregon
Vermont

Write a story about catching a frog | [
"The area referred to as the duck pond has always been called the duck pond.",
"The frogs in the duck pond were green."
] | full | I went out into my backyard to catch some frogs for my pet store. I walked around the side of the house and approached the duck pond. It was early morning so the sun wasn't too hot yet, perfect for catching frogs. They are most active in the early morning and at night when it's cooler outside.
I looked down into the water and saw many tiny tadpoles swimming around. They would make great food for my fish. But first, I needed to find some larger frogs to put in their own tank. The bigger frogs will eat the smaller ones if they're in the same tank together.
As I sat there waiting for the larger frogs to hop out of the water, I thought about how this area had always been called the duck pond even though there have never been any ducks here. When I asked my mom why it was called the duck pond she said that her mother told her it was called the duck pond because when she was a little girl, she would come here with her friends to play and they would pretend that the lily pads were ducks. She didn't know why anyone would name a body of water after something like that but that's what everyone in town calls it.
Just then, I saw a large green frog hopping across one of the lily pads. I carefully reached for my net and scooped up the frog without hurting it. I placed the frog into my container filled with air holes and water and watched as it swam around happily. I did this several more times until I had enough larger frogs for my pet store. Then I started scooping up more and more of the smaller frogs until the whole container was full of them. With my task complete, I headed back inside to clean and prepare the frogs for sale. | The mud made a squelching sucking noise as Ben sloshed his way along the shallow end of the duck pond.

It was like a cool carpet under his fingers. What a pity that his boots were mangling it, but it couldn't be helped. They had always called it the duck pond, even though there were no ducks here. There were frogs instead - big, green ones.
Katie hovered on the bank with one glass jar. She wasn't allowed in the water ever since the day she had fallen in and Ben had had to rescue her. That day, both of them had gone home wet and dirty.
Ben tied the bale twine belt tighter around his waist and hitched up his brown furry trousers. His mother had made them too big on purpose. She said they would last him longer, but he found them irritating as they often fell down. Now, the sleeves of his jersey were soaked as he'd forgotten to roll them up. "It's too late to do anything about it now," he thought to himself as the soggy sleeves dripped into the pond. Later, when he got home, perhaps he could hide the jersey so that his mother wouldn't find it. Ben picked up both jars from the grassy bank and turned towards his sister.
"Come on. Let's go home," he said, feeling pleased that he'd found a small bright green frog. |

] | full | There are tons of great options to start blogging. Here are a few:
- Google Sites: Google Sites is super simple and easy to use and this could make it a great starting point, however google sites is very limited and you may quickly find yourself brushing up against these limitations.
- WordPress: WordPress is the most popular option and is built for blogging. It is designed for blogs and will allow you to manage all of your blog posts in an easy-to-navigate interface. WordPress might take a bit of time to learn though.
- Weebly: Weebly is easy to use and easy to design your blog with, however, Weebly is more suited for websites and has limited features for blogging.
- Wix: Wix offers many templates specifically for blogging and is easy to use. Once you’ve created your blog, however, Wix can make it really challenging to change how your blog looks and feels once you’ve created it and you may have to restart from scratch.
- Blogger: Blogger is a simple and user-friendly website and totally free to use, however, beware that Google owns your domain and blog, not you, and is able to delete your website or posts without warning at any time. | Here are three options for creating your own blog:
1. WordPress - Designed for blogs, this is the most popular option. It allows you to manage all of your blog posts in an easy-to-navigate interface. It does have a learning curve though.
2. Weebly - Easy to use and easy to design your blog with, it's just not as suited for blogging as it is for websites so there are some limited features.
3. Wix - Also easy to use and offering many templates specifically for blogging. The drag-and-drop feature makes designing your blog easy.
If none of those suit what you're looking for, consider using a site like Medium or Ghost which are both built specifically for blogging. They require little to no technical knowledge and offer a clean aesthetic that will make your blog look professional from day one.
Or if you don't want to pay at all, consider using a free site like Blogger. Simple and user-friendly, Google owns the domain and blog you create so you can rest assured your content is safe. |

] | full | Edmunds stared at the screen in front of him. The lunar surface was getting steadily closer, and the texture slowly came into focus. Dust and rocks, just like the other moons.
He looked to his right and saw Jacobs and Moretti watching their own screens, the light reflecting off the glass front panel of their helmets. Jacobs and Moretti had two screens each to mind. Fore and after, port and starboard.
On his right, Pham attended to her screen, the one that pointed straight up. He could see the ship they had just departed from floating directly above them. Just as the ground had slowly filled his own screen, Arthur had started to recede in Pham's. He could have reached out and covered it with his hand. Arthur was over two hundred long, but from here it looked as though he could put it in his pocket.
This was always his least favorite part of any expedition. The time between leaving Arthur and touching down. Things could happen.
Six years ago, when he was on the Clarke, they'd nearly lost the whole expeditionary team. Some piece of rock that wasn't on any chart slammed the side of the lander and caused a fuel leak that sent it tumbling off course. They had to wait more than two days for the craft to stabilize before they could even approach it without risk to the main ship. Not a single member was lost, but none of them ever voluntarily got in a lander again.
Changes had been made, and everyone was assured that this type of accident was preventable. Extra orbits of the planet or moon were now made to assess the risks associated with a landing, and the land craft was meant to be safer than ever. They were told.
Edmunds got called up eighteen months after that and he didn't hesitate. He wasn't out here to sit by while others walked on worlds so far from his own that the distance was beyond comprehension.
A green light next to his screen flashed, first slowly, then rapidly. He flicked the switch beneath it and as the light went out a low rumble came from beneath them. The landing rockets slowed their descent to a crawl. and after a moment. they all felt the lander's four rubberized feet make contact with the surface. | The hatch slid open and the four astronauts stepped out one by one, taking care not to bump into each other as they did so. The first thing that struck them was the stark beauty of the place. The sky was pitch black but for the bright blue horizon, which curved away like the top of a large metal bowl. Slowly, the texture of the lunar surface came into focus. It was dotted with rocks and boulders here and there, and deep gullies stretched between the hills.
Moretti was watching a screen he had. Jacobs too had two screens to mind, though the light was reflecting off the glass front panel of his helmet. Pham attended to her screen, which pointed straight up. She watched as the ship they'd just departed from floated directly above them. "Edmunds, we're reading some movement down below," she called out.
He turned to watch the screen and saw what looked like a dust devil spinning around a small cluster of rocks. He reached for his own screen to take a closer look when suddenly, a loud bang shook his body. He stumbled, catching himself against the lander's hatch. What felt like an eternity passed before anyone else spoke. "What the...?" Moretti started to say, then stopped. "That was close."
A piece of rock that wasn't on any chart slammed the side of the lander. The collision had caused a fuel leak, which in turn sent the lander tumbling off course. When they finally managed to get it stabilized enough to approach the damaged landcraft without risking the main ship, none of them were surprised to find the pilot dead. Not a single member of the expeditionary team had been lost that day, but none of them ever voluntarily got in a lander again. It took extra orbits of the planet or moon to assess the risks associated with a landing, and the land craft was meant to be safer than ever. But still, the memory of that day lingered.
Edmunds knew he shouldn't have let his guard down, even if it was expected to be a routine mission. His eyes snapped back to the present moment as the landing rockets slowed their descent. This was it; this was the moment they would make contact with the alien life form they'd come so far to find. He could only hope that whatever it was, it wouldn't hurt them. |

] | full | Hello everyone, and thank you for coming today to celebrate the life of Craig Pepto. I am Craig's friend from work, and I'm going to try and get through this eulogy without getting too emotional.
Craig was many things to many people. He was a dedicated employee here at the TaxiCo Taxi Company in Watlanta. He was a father, son, uncle, and friend to so many. But above all else, Craig was a lover of animals. He had a pet monkey named "Peaches" that he adored.
I remember Craig coming into work one day with Peaches on his shoulder, dressed in a pink tutu, leotard, and ballet shoes. We thought it was strange at first but then we saw how much joy it brought him, so we just went along with it. Craig was very fond of dressing up Peaches in a variety of clothing from the 80s, and he would take her on long walks around the neighborhood. They were quite the pair.
One day, Craig decided to put a wedding dress on Peaches and have a mock wedding ceremony in the living room. Unfortunately, Craig tripped and fell during the ceremony, landing on top of Peaches. Despite their best efforts, they could not be revived.
We will all miss Craig dearly, but we hope that he and Peaches are together again in heaven, where there is plenty of space for them to dance and play. Thank you. | Hello everyone, and thank you for coming today to celebrate the life of Craig Pepto.
Craig was a husband, father, son, uncle, and dedicated employee at the TaxiCo Taxi Company here in Watlanta. Many of you who had come into contact with Craig will undoubtedly have fond memories and funny stories about him, as do I, which I'm sure we'll get a chance to share at the wake later tonight.
One thing that I will say about Craig is, despite the untimely accident, he was very fond of dressing up his pet monkey, "Peaches", in a variety of clothing from the 1980s. He loved playing dress-up with Peaches and serving her tea and biscuits at noon; he loved that monkey like a daughter.
It's unfortunate what happened that fateful day a month ago. Craig would never have put that pink tutu on Peaches if he knew Peaches would reject it so violently. I think even if Craig did know how Peaches would respond, he wouldn't take it personally, for he loved that simian so much.
But that's all in the past now. I like to think that Craig is in a better place, one where he can have a sip of his margarita and sit on the heavenly beaches. I think Craig would probably be saving a space for the rest of us until we join him, and even a seat on his beach blanket for Peaches by his side.
Now, let us all bow our heads in prayer for Craig, so that he may hear us wishing him well on his journey to the afterlife.
And for Peaches, we pray that she may be let free from Animal Control soon so she can be let back to her family at the local zoo. Amen. |

] | partial | Based on the provided claims, auto service advisors are exempt from overtime pay due to several key legal developments and interpretations. Here's a comprehensive explanation:
The exemption status of auto service advisors was definitively established in the Supreme Court case of Encino Motorcars, LLC v. Navarro. In this case, the Court concluded that car dealership employees who discuss service options with customers are exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act's (FLSA) overtime pay requirement.
The legal basis for this exemption stems from the statute's specific language, which exempts "any salesman, partsman, or mechanic primarily engaged in selling or servicing automobiles." The Court determined that service advisors fall within this categorical exemption.
Significantly, this case marked an important shift in how FLSA exemptions are interpreted. Justice Thomas, writing for the majority, rejected the long-standing principle that FLSA exemptions should be construed narrowly. Instead, the Court maintained that these exemptions are entitled to a "fair reading," noting that the FLSA gives no "textual indication" that its exemptions should be construed narrowly.
This new "fair reading" standard could potentially result in more employees being classified as exempt from the FLSA's overtime pay requirement. This is particularly notable because the FLSA typically requires overtime compensation at a rate of not less than one and one-half times an employee's hourly rate for hours worked beyond a 40-hour workweek.
The service advisor exemption now stands alongside other established FLSA exemptions, which include various categories of workers such as seamen, specified agricultural workers, certain computer employees, and workers employed in bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacities. | Based on the provided claims, auto service advisors are exempt from overtime pay due to several key legal developments and interpretations:
1. The Supreme Court's Decision in Encino Motorcars, LLC v. Navarro established that car dealership employees who discuss service options with customers are specifically exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act's (FLSA) overtime pay requirement.
2. This exemption is significant because it affects how auto service advisors are classified under labor laws. Normally, the FLSA would require overtime compensation at a rate of not less than one and one-half times an employee's hourly rate for hours worked beyond a 40-hour workweek.
3. The exemption status of auto service advisors can be understood through various sections of the FLSA:
- Section 13 of the FLSA explicitly identifies numerous employees who are exempt from the overtime pay requirement
- The FLSA is designed to provide "a fair day's pay for a fair day's work" and has been characterized by the Supreme Court as "humanitarian and remedial legislation"
4. It's important to note that these exemptions must be interpreted narrowly, as mandated by the Court's precedent in A.H. Phillips, which states that any exemption from such legislation must be narrowly construed and give due regard to the law's plain meaning and congressional intent.
This exemption applies specifically to auto service advisors working in certain contexts, particularly those dealing with service options discussions at car dealerships, as established by the Encino Motorcars case. |

You collect your saliva according to the instructions in the kit, then send it back. A few weeks later, the lab uses microarray-based autosomal DNA testing to examine your genome on both your maternal and paternal lines. In about 6 to 8 weeks, you get your results which include a snapshot of your ethnicity and any DNA matches. The ethnicity estimate tells you what percentages of your DNA comes from different locations around the world.
Pros:
1. Easy to use: Simply spit in the tube provided by Ancestry and send it back.
2. Large database: As one of the largest genealogy companies in the world, there are millions of people in Ancestry's database for you to connect with.
3. Results are detailed: Knowing what percentage of your DNA comes from where helps you understand your ancestry like never before.
4. Access to other family trees: If your DNA matches someone else's in the database, you can see if they have connected your shared ancestors to each other. This can help you build your family tree faster.
Cons:
1. Cost: While the price isn't outrageous, it may be out of some people's budgets.
2. No health information: Unlike some other DNA testing kits, this one won't tell you anything about your health or predispositions to certain diseases.
3. No paternal lineage: Because this is an autosomal test (meaning it tests your entire genome) you will not receive information about your paternal lineage. | AncestryDNA is a genetic testing service that provides a snapshot of a customer's ancestral origin through an at-home DNA test.

There’s supposedly a huge mass of sargassum seaweed coming ashore to Florida this year and it’s bigger than it has ever been. What exactly is this kind of seaweed? I’m particularly interested if it’s safe to swim in or not. I am also curious as to what causes unusually large masses of it. | [

] | full | Sargassum seaweed is found in salty ocean waters. It has leafy appendages and berry-like structures on its branches. These “berries” are actually called pneumatocysts. They provide buoyancy so that the plant can float in the ocean. In fact, rafts of sargassum seaweed can stretch for many miles across the ocean! Even though it looks like it would make a good bed for fish, it doesn’t have roots like a real bed does. Instead, it provides food and breeding grounds to many marine animals including fish, birds, and shrimp. Mahi Mahi fish even uses these masses as a breeding ground.
The problem with sargassum seaweed is that it builds up along beach shores and emits a gas that reeks of rotten eggs. The rotting weed emits hydrogen sulfide which is toxic to humans and may cause respiratory issues. If you find any along the shore, it’s best to put on some rubber gloves and throw them in a trash bag before putting them in the garbage.
Scientists still aren’t sure why there are years when there’s an overabundance of this seaweed. However, they do know that algae growth is affected by things like sea currents. Algae thrives on rich nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. Human activities such as fossil fuel production can dump these wastes into our rivers which then feed the oceans. | Sargassum seaweed is a type of brown algae that is found in salty ocean waters. In appearance, it has leafy appendages and berry-like structures on branches. The “berries” are gas-filled with oxygen and are referred to as “pneumatocysts.” This “seaweed” floats in clumps and “rafts” can stretch for many miles across the ocean. Since it floats, sargassum provides food and breeding grounds to many marine animals like fish, sea turtles, birds, and shrimp. Mahi Mahi fish in particular use the seaweed masses as a breeding ground. It could also be providing food for deep-water fish because once the sargassum loses buoyancy, it sinks to the sea floor.
The problems that arise with this type of seaweed is that it builds up along beach shores and emits a gas that reeks of rotten eggs. The rotting grass emits hydrogen sulfide, which is toxic to humans and may cause respiratory issues. The leaves themselves contain arsenic, which is incredibly harmful if ingested or used for fertilizer. Therefore, humans should avoid large quantities of seaweed on the shoreline and also avoid swimming through masses of it.
Scientists are unsure what causes sargassum seaweed to bloom in larger than normal amounts. Algae growth is affected by sea currents and thrives on rich nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. Human activities like fossil fuel production can dump these wastes into rivers which feed the oceans. So if these levels are elevated in a particular year, then it is likely the seaweed could be more abundant. |

Can you give me a list of things I need to buy before I pick up my new kitten? I already have a litter box and litter, but that's it. | [
"Routine nail trims protect furniture.",
"Routine nail trims protect cats from ingrown nails.",
"Routine nail trims protect cats from infections.",
"Long-haired cats should be brushed every day.",
"Short-haired cats should be brushed around once a week.",
"All cats scratch."
] | full | Of course! Here is a list of items to get ahead of bringing your new kitten home:
1. Cat Carrier: It's important to keep your cat safe during travel, so make sure to pick out an appropriate-sized carrier for bringing your kitten home and on future vet trips.
2. Kitten Food: Kittens need nutrient-packed food to support their growth, unlike adult cats, so make sure to pick out an appropriate food.
3. Bowls: Food bowls come in many different forms. You could choose an elevated bowl, slow feeder, or automatic feeder, and even treat your cat to a water fountain (which will encourage them to hydrate).
4. Treats: Treats are one of the best ways to help your kitten bond with you!
5. Nail Trimmer: Routine nail trims protect your cat from infections and ingrown nails, as well as protect your furniture.
6: Cat Brush: It's important to keep your cat well-groomed to avoid mats, particularly if your cat has medium or long hair. Long-haired cats should be brushed every day, while shorter hair cats should be brushed around once a week.
7. Toothbrush and Kitty Toothpaste: To keep your cat's teeth healthy and prevent gum disease, you'll want to introduce your kitten to teeth brushing as early as possible. This helps desensitize them in the future and makes the task easier.
8. Toys: There are a wide variety of kitten toys on the market, so choose some that look fun and experiment with what your cat likes. Every kitten is different!
9. Scratching Post: All cats scratch. If you don't give them an outlet, it might be on your couch! Consider spacing multiple scratching posts around the house.
10. Cat Bed: Your cat may never use their bed, but it's nice to have it if they'd like their own space.
11. Cat Tree: Cats feel safest in high spots, which means a cat tree can help them feel at home in their new place quickly. Choose one with lots of hiding spots and high-up places for your kitten to call their own.
12. ID Tag and Collar: While you hope your kitten never sneaks out, if they do, it's critical anyone who finds them can identify them. Make sure their ID tag has your contact information.
| Of course! Here is a list of things you'll want to get for your new kitten:
1. Food and water bowls - Stainless steel or ceramic are best as they won't harbor bacteria.
2. High-quality food - Kittens need nutrient-rich food to support their growth and development. Consult with your vet to determine what kind of food is right for your kitten.
3. Cat bed - Kittens like to have their own space, so consider getting an especially small cat bed for them to call their own.
4. Toys - Kittens love to play, so make sure you get some toys that will keep them entertained. Some ideas include balls of yarn, stuffed mice, and laser pointers.
5. Brush - Depending on your kitten's coat length and type, you may want to brush them daily or weekly. Long-haired cats should be brushed every day, while short-haired cats can be brushed around once a week. Brushing helps prevent hairballs and keeps your home free of shedding hair.
6. Nail trimmer - Routine nail trims protect your cat from infections and ingrown nails.
7. Toothbrush and kitten toothpaste - Help your kitten develop good oral hygiene by brushing their teeth regularly.
8. Scratching post - All cats scratch, so you want to provide a suitable outlet for this behavior to save your furniture. Choose a tall scratching post that allows your kitten to stretch out fully when scratching. |
