} | wikipedia | Primary care
Primary care is the sort of healthcare people can use without having to be checked by someone first. It is generally not in hospitals.
In most countries this means general practitioners, dentists, opticians and pharmacists. Emergency departments dont expect people to be checked out first. Physician assistants, physical therapists, or a nurse may expect people to be sent to them by a doctor in some places. If people are paying for their own treatment they may be able to go where they want, but in a public healthcare system there are usually more controls. In less developed countries people may be used to going to hospitals for all their problems. | v0 |

Silent reading means reading without saying the words out loud.
Long ago, people didn't have spaces between words in their writing, so it was unusual to read silently.
Some people think silent reading can cause problems with thinking, but many schools still encourage it.
Reading out loud uses more parts of the brain because it involves speaking and reading at the same time. | v0 |

} | wikipedia | Harlan Hubbard
Harlan Hubbard (January 4, 1900 – January 16, 1988) was an American artist and writer.
Hubbard was born in Bellevue, Kentucky, on January 4, 1900, across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, Ohio. His father died in 1907. In 1915, he and his mother went to New York City to live with two older brothers. He went to school at Childs High School in the Bronx. Then he studied art at the New York National Academy of Design. Later he went to the Art Academy of Cincinnati.
Hubbard's wife, Anna Eikenhout, was born in Michigan on September 7, 1902. She was a musician who played the piano and cello. She read in three languages other than English. She taught college for a while, but moved to Cincinnati to work in the fine arts department at the public library. She met Hubbard there.
They married in 1943 and lived for a short time in Fort Thomas, Kentucky. They lived for a while in a shack beside the river. Then, in 1944, they decided to live in a shanty boat (a small houseboat) and travel on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans. They spent about five years doing this.
At New Orleans they sold their boat and bought a car. They drove for the next ten months to see much of the American West. Then they went back to Kentucky in 1951 and bought seven acres of land in what was called Payne Hollow, across the Ohio River from Hanover and Madison, Indiana.
The Hubbard's built a small house at Payne Hollow and lived there for the rest of their lives. They lived a very simple life that was not modern. They "grew their own food, made their own furniture (except for a grand piano that Anna played each evening), and lived without electricity or running water."
Harlan Hubbbard died of cancer in 1988 at age 88, about two years after his wife Anna. | v0 |

Joss paper is a type of paper that is burned as an offering during Chinese ancestral worship and in the worship of deities in Chinese folk religion. People believe it helps dead people get what they need in the afterlife. In Taiwan people spent US$400 million on Joss paper in 2014.
Different types of spirit money are given to distinct types of spirits. There are three main types of joss paper: cash (also known as copper), silver, and gold. Cash paper is given to newly deceased and unknown spirits. Golden joss paper is offered to deities such as the Jade Emperor. Silver joss paper is given only to ancestral spirits and other spirits. It is important to follow these distinctions. If you burn the wrong paper it may confuse spirits or insult them. | v0 |

Welnos is an Indo European deity linked to cattle, and there are similar gods in many mythologies such as Slavic, Lithuanian, Latvian, Norse, and Old English. This deity was reconstructed from the Slavic god Veles, Lithuanian god Velnias, and Latvian god Velns, who all protected flocks. The name of this god is also similar to Old Norse Ullr and Old English Wuldor.
Scholar Jaan Puhvel thought Welnos is also connected to the Elysian fields in Greek myth and ritual.
Some scholars, such as Max Muller, believed that Welnos, was related to Sanskrit Varuna and Greek Ouranos. However, this theory has been rejected because of language reasons, and the origin of the word is no longer accepted..
Welnos may have been a kind sky father who represented the night while Dyēus represented the day and danger. He might have had a competition with Perkwunos like Perun and Veles. | v0 |

} | wikipedia | Jadunath Sarkar
Sir Jadunath Sarkar CIE, FRAS (10 December 1870 – 19 May 1958) was an Indian historian known for his expertise on the Mughal dynasty. He received his education in English literature and initially worked as a teacher before shifting his focus to historical research and writing. He had a deep understanding of the Persian language and wrote all of his books in English. Sarkar served as the Vice Chancellor of the University of Calcutta from 1926-1928 and was also a member of the Bengal Legislative Council from 1929-1932. He was knighted by the British government in 1929.
Bio.
Sarkar was born in Karachmaria village in Natore, Bengal, and graduated in English from Presidency College, Calcutta in 1891. He went on to top the Master of Arts examination in English at Calcutta University in 1892 and received the Premchand-Roychand Scholarship in 1897. Sarkar began his teaching career as a faculty member of English literature at Ripon College, Calcutta in 1893, and was later appointed at Presidency College, Calcutta in 1898. He taught modern Indian history at Benaras Hindu University from 1917-1919 and both English and history at Ravenshaw College, Cuttack from 1919-1923. Sarkar was appointed as the Vice Chancellor of Calcutta University in 1926 and later joined Madras University as the Sir W. Meyer Lecturer in 1928.
Work.
Sarkar's work on the Mughal dynasty was highly regarded in his time, but later faded from public memory with the emergence of Marxist and postcolonial schools of historiography. Academically, his work has been compared to that of the Aligarh historians, who focused on the mansabdari system and gunpowder technology in the Mughal Empire. Sarkar, on the other hand, concentrated on military tactics and sieges.
Achievements.
Sarkar was honored by the British government with a Companion of the Order of the Indian Empire (CIE) and was knighted in the 1929 Birthday Honours list. A research center, the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta, has been established in his house and includes the Jadunath Bhavan Museum and Resource Centre, a museum-cum-archive of primary sources.

} | wikipedia | Deh₂nu
Deh₂nu- is a Proto-Indo-European goddess of rivers. Some people think that this is based on the Vedic goddess Dānu, the Irish goddess Danu, the Welsh goddess Don, and the names of some rivers such as the Danube, Don, Dnieper, and Dniester. But, Mallory and Adams say that there is no proof for a specific river goddess in this mythology, only the idea of rivers being important in Indic tradition.
Some people have suggested a sea god named *Trih₂tōn based on the Greek god Triton and the Old Irish word trïath, which means "sea". Mallory and Adams do not think this is true because there is only a small possibility that the words are related, and there is no evidence of a similar god in Irish mythology.
The goddess is also linked to Ossetian Donbettyr, who is said to give "three scones with honey" to those who turn their waterwheels. Donnán of Eigg might be a Christianized version of this deity.
Some stories say that the goddess fought a hero named H2nert, and her possible descendants include Nart from the Nart saga, Indra, and Njord.
There’s a central Asian river called Dan. Its name might come from Dehnu | v0 |

} | wikipedia | Swagger (software)
Swagger is a suite of tools for API developers from SmartBear Software and a former specification upon which the OpenAPI Specification is based.
History.
The Swagger API project was created in 2011 by Tony Tam, technical co-founder of the dictionary site Wordnik. During the development of Wordnik's products, the need for automation of API documentation and client SDK generation became a major source of frustration. Tam designed a simple JSON representation of the API, building upon the flexibility of part of the REST style of architecture and using Swagger quickly gained popularity among API developers due to its ability to generate interactive documentation, client libraries, and server stubs automatically from API specifications. In 2015, the Swagger project was acquired by SmartBear Software, a company that specializes in software quality tools and API testing. SmartBear continues to develop and support Swagger and the OpenAPI Specification, which has become the industry standard for defining RESTful APIs.
Features.
Swagger provides a suite of tools for designing, building, documenting, and testing RESTful APIs. Some of its key features include:
Interactive documentation: Swagger UI allows developers to view and interact with the API in a web browser, making it easy to understand and test the API's functionality.
Code generation: Swagger Codegen can generate client libraries, server stubs, and API documentation in various programming languages based on an API's specification.
API testing: Swagger Inspector is a cloud-based tool for testing and validating APIs, with support for various authentication methods and response validations.
API design: Swagger Editor is a web-based tool for designing and editing API specifications in YAML or JSON format.
API management: SwaggerHub is a platform for hosting, sharing, and collaborating on API designs, with features for versioning, team collaboration, and API documentation publishing.

It was there to educate Native American children (which were called "Indians" at the time). The problem with these schools was that the children were told what America was like, but they were not told, what their people were like. This process was called assimilation, and was done on purpose. It means that some of the cultural values were lost.
With the beginning of the first World War, the school was closed, and the property again was uused by the military. Today, all of it is part of the United States Army War College. | v0 |

} | wikipedia | 2023 Ohio train accident
On February 3, 2023, a train accident happened in East Palestine, Ohio, United States. The accident happened at 8.55pm EST (). A train carrying dangerous chemicals derailed. Several of the 38 railcars caught fire, and started to burn. Some burned for more than two days. Emergency crews burned several of them in a controlled fire. This fire released hydrogen chloride and phosgene into the air. Phosgene is used only in specially equipped plants. Today, it is used to produce certain plastics, and other chemicals, such as dyes. In the past, it was also used as a chemical weapon. For this reason, the residents within a radius were evacuated. Emergency response was started from agencies in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. East Palestine is about half way between Cleveland and Pittsburgh.
Background.
The derailed train was running from Madison, Illinois to Conway, Pennsylvania, on the Fort Wayne Line. Aboard the train were an engineer, conductor, and conductor trainee. The train consisted of 141 loaded cars and 9 empty ones. Other reports say there was one more car, for a total of 151 cars, weighing 18,000 tons.
Of those cars, 20 were carrying dangrous materials, including chloroethene (vinyl chloride), butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, isobutylene, flammable liquids, and benzene residue. The train departed Madison on February 1, and had had at least one mechanical failure before the derailment.
Derailment.
Security footage from a business in Salem, Ohio ( northwest from East Palestine), and a Ring doorbell camera from New Waterford, Ohio ( northwest from East Palestine), show fire coming from underneath a rail car. After this, at around 8:55 pm EST on February 3, 2023, 51 cars derailed on the east side of town, near the border with Pennsylvania. 49 of the cars ended up in a derailment pile, which caught fire and burned for several days. Of the 51 derailed cars, 11 were tank cars which dumped 100,000 gallons of hazardous materials, including vinyl chloride, benzene residue, and butyl acrylate.
About 48 hours later, the NTSB released a first report that stated that the derailment was caused by a mechanical problem on one of the railcars' trucks. This may be connected to reports that an axle was observed throwing sparks about an hour before. The crew received an alarm from a wayside defect detector shortly before the derailment indicating a mechanical problem, and then an emergency brake application initiated.
Emergency response and burn off.
Nearly 70 emergency agencies from Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania mobilized in response. East Palestine Mayor Trent Conaway declared a state of emergency.
Norfolk Southern personnel were first to respond on February 3. On February 4, they noticed water spillage into Sulphur Run and Leslie Run, and installed barriers to separate the floating pollutant. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began monitoring air quality on February 3. According to the EPA, humans can smell butyl acrylate at a concentration lower than the screening level (exposure limit). The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommended exposure limit for butyl acrylate is time-weighted average 10 ppm (55 mg/m3).
On February 5, the temperature changed in one of the train cars. his caused fears of an explosion with the potential to disperse shrapnel as the fires continued to burn. Although five cars containing vinyl chloride remained intact after the crash, the relief valve on one of the cars had malfunctioned. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine activated the Ohio National Guard to assist local authorities in what he called "a matter of life and death". Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro ordered an evacuation in areas of Beaver County which bordered the site. Officials in both states went door-to-door to evacuate residents. The fire from the accident burned until February 5.
Reactions.
Commentary following the derailment centered around industry working conditions and safety concerns, such as the lack of modern brake safety regulations, the implementation of precision scheduled railroading (PSR), reduced railway workers per train, and increased train lengths and weight. Critics said that train companies have failed to invest in train maintenance to prevent accidents, even though they conduct stock buybacks, in which capital that could be used on maintenance and safety measures is instead distributed to existing shareholders.
On February 14, Governor Mike DeWine told reporters that he was not seeing any problems in the area after the controlled release of chemicals and that President Joe Biden had offered federal assistance but DeWine said that no further assistance was necessary. | v0 |

Cornell was born in Nyack, New York in 1903. He had two sisters. His younger brother Robert had cerebral palsy. After his father's death in 1917, the family moved to a house on Utopia Avenue in Bayside, Queens in New York City. He lived there from 1929 until he died in 1972.
From 1917 to 1921, Cornell went to Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, but he did not graduate. After that, he worked as a salesman and, later, as a textile designer in New York. He walked around the city and found many things to collect in used bookstores and junk shops.
In the 1930s he started making movies out of parts of other old movies. These and his collages and boxes were influenced by surrealism, an art and literature movement that made things that felt strange, like dreams.
His first public show was in "Surréalisme" at the Julien Levy Gallery in 1932, along with art by Salvador Dali and Marcel Duchamp.
Cornell died of a heart attack at home in 1972, a few years after the deaths of his mother and brother. | v0 |

} | wikipedia | OpenAPI Specification
The OpenAPI Specification (OAS) is an open standard for describing and defining RESTful APIs. It was previously called the Swagger Specification and is currently maintained by the OpenAPI Initiative, which is a group of industry experts and companies.
The OAS is a machine-readable format that enables developers to outline the details of an API in a structured and standardized way. This includes information about the endpoints, operations, parameters, responses, and other relevant data. This uniformity makes it easier for developers to understand, use, and test APIs, as well as for tools to generate documentation, client libraries, and server stubs automatically from the specification.
The OAS supports both JSON and YAML formats and has become a popular tool in the API development community.
History.
The Swagger Specification was created in 2010 by Tony Tam, technical co-founder of the dictionary site Wordnik. During the development of Wordnik's products, the need for automation of API documentation and client SDK generation became a major source of frustration. Tam designed a simple JSON representation of the API, building upon the flexibility of part of the REST style of architecture, and Swagger quickly gained popularity among API developers due to its ability to generate interactive documentation, client libraries, and server stubs automatically from API specifications.
In 2015, the Swagger Specification was donated to the newly formed OpenAPI Initiative, which is a consortium of industry experts and companies who are dedicated to the development of the standard.
Features.
The OAS provides a variety of features that make it easier to design, build, document, and test RESTful APIs. These include: | v0 |

} | wikipedia | Charles Lawrence III
Charles E. Lawrence III (July 9, 1956) is an American former accountant, former commercial real estate broker, and convicted sex offender. In October 2015, Lawrence was confronted by Chris Hansen after traveling to a sting house thinking he was going to have sex with a 13-year-old boy. Lawrence was arrested and sentenced to two years in prison.
Background and sting.
Prior to being caught in the sting, Charles E. Lawrence III worked in New York as an accountant and commercial real estate broker. In September 2015, Lawrence, who was 59 years of age at the time, started talking to someone he thought was a 13-year-old boy on a social media app called Grindr. He told the boy he could teach him about sex and asked about his sexual thoughts. On October 3, 2015, Lawrence went to meet the boy, but instead of meeting a real child, he was met by former "Dateline NBC" reporter Chris Hansen and was arrested by the police. When police searched Lawrence, they found a container of lubricant and a bottle of nail polish remover. Lawrence was charged with three felonies: second-degree attempted sexual assault, attempted risk of injury to a minor and enticing a minor to have an obscene performance.
Criminal process and sentencing.
On April 28, 2016, while dressed in a blue suit, Lawrence was in front of Superior Court Judge Robert Devlin and pleaded guilty under the Alford Doctrine to all three felonies he was facing. A plea under the Alford Doctrine meant that he did not admit to everything but agreed there was enough evidence to convict him of the crimes. Judge Devlin found him guilty and told him he would be sentenced to prison for up to three years, but not less than nine months, on September 2, 2016. Lawrence and his lawyer didn't talk to the media as they left the courtroom. During his sentencing hearing, Lawrence said he had eye problems and thought he was going to have sex with an 18-year-old man, not a 13-year-old boy.
His lawyer said he got a text message that had a one and a three which he mistook for a one and an eight. According to State's Attorney John Smriga, an undercover operation by his office, the Fairfield police, and Hansen revealed Lawrence actually thought he was chatting with a 13-year-old boy on Grindr. Lawrence said he was not a pedophile, adding that he used "poor judgment", and claimed he had never seen, used or downloaded child pornography in his life. Gavin told the judge that it was funny because his client traveled daily on the commuter train with Hansen and was aware of Hansen's previous television program, To Catch a Predator. Judge Devlin said he didn't believe him and said the case had "Shakespearean" quality to it, or "maybe a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde aspect". The judge said the case was about protecting children and noted that Lawrence did a horrible thing. Judge Delvin sentenced Lawrence to eight years in prison but suspended six years of the sentence, ordering him to serve two years. He also required Lawrence to register as a sex offender. Lawrence was later released from prison on June 15, 2018. | v0 |

} | wikipedia | Mommie Dearest (movie)
Mommie Dearest is a 1981 American biographical psychological drama movie directed by Frank Perry and starring Faye Dunaway, Steve Forrest, Mara Hobel, Diana Scarwid and Xander Berkeley. The movie shows Christina Crawford's adoptive mother, Hollywood actress Joan Crawford, as an abusive, controlling and manipulative mother. Christina and her brother Christopher are suffering child abuse from their mother.
Production.
The movie was adapted for the screen by Robert Getchell, Tracy Hotchner, Frank Perry, and Frank Yablans from Christina's 1978 autobiography of the same name. The executive producers were Christina's husband, David Koontz, and Terry O'Neill, Dunaway's then-boyfriend and soon-to-be husband. The movie was distributed by Paramount Pictures, the only one of the "Big Eight" movie studios for which Crawford had never appeared in a movie.
Reception.
The movie was not considered successful at the box office, making just over $19 million in North America from a $10 million budget. Despite receiving mostly negative reviews from movie critics, the movie's melodramatic script and Faye Dunaway's acting, made it a cult movie and an "unintentional comedy". It is often considered one of the worst movies ever made. It was nominated for nine Golden Raspberry Awards (Razzies) at the 2nd Golden Raspberry Awards, and won five, including "Worst Picture" and "Worst Actress" for Faye Dunaway. | v0 |

} | wikipedia | Tromsdalstinden
Tromsdalstinden is a mountain in Tromsø Municipality in Norway, with an elevation of 1,238 meters. The mountain is located at the southern end of the Tromsdalen valley, just southeast of the city of Tromsø. The Norwegian name Tromsdalstinden means "the peak above Tromsdalen," while the Sámi name is made up from the components Sálaš and Oaivi, with the first word signifying a good hunting area, and the second indicating a rounded mountain without jagged peaks.
The mountain is a popular hiking destination and can be summited from the suburb Tromsdalen or from Ramfjorden. The slopes up are not technically difficult, though fog and rain can make the ascent complicated for those not familiar with the terrain. Skiers usually take the Fjellheisen aerial tramway to Mount Storsteinen and begin their ascent from there.
In 2003, plans to build an alpine skiing facility on the slopes of Tromsdalstinden for the 2014 Winter Olympics were proposed. However, this sparked immediate protests from some Sami activists who claimed that Tromsdalstinden has been a Sami sacred mountain since ancient times. The Sami Parliament enacted a resolution declaring it a holy mountain in 2004, and the plans were discontinued.
While some argue that Tromsdalstinden was made a holy mountain in recent times as part of Sami identity politics, others believe that it has been sacred at one point before Christianization. The mountain bears the significant feature of a traditional sacred mountain, dominating the landscape due to its shape and/or height. Although the classic Sámi religion is dead, the mountain remains of cultural significance to modern Sámi, and their commitment to preserving it displays its intense cultural significance to their ancestors. | v0 |

} | wikipedia | Stephen Buchanan
Stephen Philip Buchanan (September 12, 1988) is an American former Connecticut National Guard member and convicted sex offender. In October 2015, Buchanan was confronted by Chris Hansen after traveling to a sting house thinking he was going to have sex with a 13-year-old girl. He showed up to the sting house with a gun, duct tape, a knife, a camera, and a box of condoms in his car, something Hansen considered a "kill kit." In July 2016, Buchanan was sentenced to three years in prison and 10 years of probation.
Background and sting.
Before getting caught in the sting, Stephen Buchanan was a Iraq war veteran and a member of the Connecticut National Guard. Buchanan wanted to become a Stratford police officer and was listed at number 100 on the department's hiring list. Buchanan got arrested along with nine other men during a four-day operation in October 2015. In the sting operation, the men visited a home to meet up with a person they thought was a 12- or 13-year-old boy or girl they had been texting and communicating with online. The operation was aired on a Kickstarter-funded American reality television show called "Hansen vs. Predator", which was hosted by Chris Hansen, former host of "Dateline NBC" "To Catch a Predator". The Fairfield Police Department and the State's Attorney's Office helped with the operation.
Buchanan, who was 27 years old at the time, talked to someone who he believed was a 13-year-old girl named "Bailey". He sent her several sexually graphic messages, including texts saying, "You know your gonna shower with me Thursday night." Buchanan arrived at a sting house in Fairfield, Connecticut, and tried to get the child, who was actually an adult female decoy posing as a teenage girl, to come with him in his car by promising to let her drive it. He kept saying that he had nothing bad with him. When things got tense and he refused to enter the house, Hansen appeared and told him that he wanted to talk to him. They talked at the table in the sting house's dining room, and Buchanan claimed that his time in Iraq made him want to be around younger girls.
Arrest.
After Buchanan was taken into custody, Fairfield police officers searched his car and found a black bag with a loaded, legally registered gun, a roll of duct tape, a knife, a camera, and a box of condoms. Hansen stated that he was "blown away" by what police found in Buchanan's car. He said during all the investigations he had done up to that point, he had never seen a man show up with what could have been considered a "kill kit". When Hansen asked police chief Gary MacNamara about what he thought if Buchanan had met a real child and she willingly entered his car, he responded, "Nothing good." Chief MacNamara said that he could only guess what would have happened based on what Buchanan had with him and the fact that he showed up. He said that the things in the car were meant for something bad, and that a real child would be in danger of getting seriously hurt because of what he had with him.
After Buchanan was arrested, he was charged with three felonies: attempted second-degree sexual assault, attempted risk of injury to a child and enticing a minor in an obscene act. He was held in lieu on a $1.1 million bond. On October 20, 2015, Buchanan appeared before Superior Court Judge Robert Devlin wearing an orange prison jumpsuit to plead not guilty to all three felony charges he was facing. Buchanan's lawyer, Michael A. Fitzpatrick, focused on other parts of the case that he found concerning. He said, "The arrest reeks of entrapment and again raises the debate on whether a sting catches a criminal or creates a criminal." On May 5, 2016, Buchanan entered a guilty plea to each of the three felony counts brought against him. Judge Devlin announced that he would impose a sentence of up to three years in prison for Buchanan on July 1, 2016. Fitzpatrick stated that he would not comment on the matter prior to the sentencing hearing.
Sentencing.
During sentencing, Fitzpatrick asked the court for a 12-month prison sentence for his client. However, he argued that his client needed treatment instead of prison. Fitzpatrick claimed that the decoys his client talked to gave him the "attention" he needed in his life. Bill O'Brien, who was the athletic director at the Sterling House in Stratford where Buchanan worked, also asked for compassion for Buchanan. O'Brien said that he wasn't sure why Buchanan wanted to sexually assault a child, but he had already lost his job and his girlfriend, which was a big punishment. O'Brien believed that Buchanan just needed help.
Buchanan said that his PTSD caused him to do what he did. He claimed that he now had a "new outlook on life" because of his arrest. Buchanan said he wanted to help other soldiers who had problems like he did. Then he thanked the detectives who arrested him and said they saved his life that day. Judge Devlin noted that Buchanan served in the United States military, but he also knew Buchanan thought he was talking to two 13-year-old girls and talked about doing sexual things with them. Judge Devlin sentenced Buchanan to eight years in prison, suspended after he served three years. The judge also sentenced Buchanan to 10 years of probation and ordered him to register as a sex offender for 10 years.
Aftermath.
In June 2021, during a Reddit post where people discussed what the men did before they were caught in Hansen's shows, one Reddit user claimed that they had served with Buchanan in the military. They stated that Buchanan was a mechanic and was never deployed, and that Buchanan only claimed he was deployed to gain sympathy from Hansen. They claimed that even if Buchanan was deployed, he would have very "seldom left base". The user ended by mentioning that Buchanan had a "creepy-ass vibe to him". | v0 |

YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable data serialization format that is commonly used for configuration files and data exchange between programming languages. It is often used in conjunction with web development frameworks and other systems that need to share data.
YAML was first released in 2001 by Ingy döt Net, Brian Ingerson, and Oren Ben-Kiki. It was designed to be a more user-friendly alternative to other markup languages like XML and JSON. YAML's syntax is designed to be easy to read and write, using whitespace and indentation to organize data.
YAML is often used for configuration files, such as those used by web development frameworks like Ruby on Rails and Django. It is also commonly used for data exchange between programming languages, especially in systems that use different programming languages for different components.
One of the key features of YAML is that it is designed to be easy for humans to read and write, while still being machine-readable. This makes it a popular choice for configuration files, as it allows developers to easily modify settings without needing to understand complex markup languages.
YAML is a superset of JSON, meaning that any valid JSON document is also a valid YAML document. However, YAML adds additional features, such as support for comments, anchors and aliases, and complex data types like maps and lists.
YAML has been implemented in many programming languages, including Python, Ruby, Java, and Perl. It is also supported by many text editors and IDEs, which can provide syntax highlighting and other features to make working with YAML easier.
Overall, YAML is a flexible and user-friendly data serialization format that is widely used in web development, system configuration, and other areas where data needs to be exchanged between different components.
Syntax.
YAML's syntax is designed to be simple and easy to read. It uses indentation and whitespace to organize data, rather than relying on explicit tags or markup. Here is an example of a YAML document:
name: John Smith
age: 35
In this example, the document contains three key-value pairs, where the keys are `name`, `age`, and `email`, and the values are `John Smith`, `35` , respectively.
- name: John Smith
age: 35
email: john AT example.com
- name: Jane Doe
age: 28
email: jane AT example.com
YAML also supports more complex data structures, like maps and lists. Here is an example of a YAML document that contains a map and a list: | v0 |

} | wikipedia | Hut (dwelling)
A hut is a simple shelter that is built by humans to live inside of. A hut is small, and most of the time, it is less well-built than a house, but is more complex than a tent. Some indigenous peoples use huts as their permanent place of safety. A hut can be built out of many things, such as wood, grass, or fabric.
The word "hut".
The word is, many times, used by people who think homes that are uncommon in their country are primitive. Sometimes, the word "house" is used to avoid this. Often, how the hut looks is based off of tradition. The design of the hut in tropical and sub-tropical areas is meant to allow air to come inside, reducing the heat inside of the hut. Also, instead of being called a shed, something can be called a hut. The word has also been used to speak about structures that shelter climbers and backpackers. The word comes from the 1650s, from French "hutte".
Modern use.
Huts are used by shepherds when they are moving animals from one grassland to another.
They are also used by people who are traveling in rural areas.
Some populations use huts during a diaspora, such as those on farms in the Amazon jungle.
Huts have been built to keep items safe, to build items, and to teach when regular classrooms cannot be used.
Construction.
Many huts are planned to be built quick, and with a small amount of work. These huts only need a bit of understanding of architecture to be built, and do not need special tools.
Other uses.
Sometimes, the word "hut" is used in the names of stores, to imply that it is a small place, and that it is friendly. Some stores that use the word in their name are Pizza Hut and Sunglass Hut. Buildings that sell things in a park or beach can look like huts. | v0 |

} | wikipedia | Cultural diffusion
Culture diffusion refers to the spread of cultural traits or patterns from one society or group of people to another. This process can occur through various means, such as migration, trade, communication, or technological advancements.
For example, the diffusion of Buddhism from India to other parts of Asia is an example of cultural diffusion. Another example could be the spread of American fast food chains, such as McDonald's, to different parts of the world, where they have adapted their menus to local tastes.
Cultural diffusion can lead to the blending of different cultures and the creation of new cultural forms, such as creole languages or fusion cuisine. However, it can also result in the loss of traditional cultural practices and the homogenization of global cultures. | v0 |

} | wikipedia | Atropa
Atropa is a genus if flowering plants, in the nightshade family. They are herbaceous perennials, with large leaves, and shiny berries. These berries are particularly dangerous to children, because they look like cherries, but they are highly poisonous. Atropa species prefer temperate climates and alkaline soils. They often grow in light shade in woodland environments associated with limestone hills and mountains. Their seeds can remain viable in the soil for long periods, germinating when the soil of sites in which plants once grew (but from which plants have long been absent) is disturbed by human activity or by natural causes, e.g. the windthrow of trees (a property shared by the seeds of other Solanaceae in tribe Hyoscyameae e.g. those of Hyoscyamus spp., the henbanes). The best-known member of the genus Atropa is deadly nightshade ("A. belladonna") - the poisonous plant "par excellence" in the minds of many. The pharmacologically active ingredients of Atropa species include atropine, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine, all tropane alkaloids having anticholinergic, deliriant, antispasmodic and mydriatic properties. The genus is named for Άτροπος ("Atropos") - lit. 'she who may not be turned (aside)' - one of the Three Fates and cutter of the thread of life / bringer of death - in reference to the extreme toxicity of "A.belladonna" and its fellow species - of which three others are currently accepted.
In some older classifications, the mandrake ("Mandragora officinarum") has been placed in the genus "Atropa", under the binomial "Atropa mandragora". | v0 |

"Not to be confused with the city of Tromsø"
Tromsø is a municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway, with an area and a population of 77,544. The city center of Tromsø (settlement) is located on the island of Tromsøya, but the urban area also encompasses part of the nearby mainland and part of the island Kvaløya. Tromsø is known for its mild climate, due to the effect of the westerlies reaching this far north, as well as the North Atlantic Drift, a branch of the Gulf Stream. Tromsø's latitude of just below 70°N renders annual midnight sun and polar night depending on the season. The city has a rich Norse and Sámi heritage, with evidence of habitation since the end of the ice age. The name Tromsø is believed to derive from the Old Norse name of the island Trums, which means "(strong) current." However, the first element of the name's etymology is uncertain. Tromsø is a cultural hub for the region, with several festivals taking place in the summer. Many countries used to have consulates
or missions in Tromsø in the 1990s. | v0 |

} | wikipedia | John Martyn
Iain David McGeachy (11 September 1948 – 29 January 2009) was a Scottish singer, guitar player and songwriter. His stage name was John Martyn. He made music for over 40 years. He made 23 studio albums. Most of his music was folk rock and blues.
Martyn started making music when he was 17. He was in the Scottish folk music community. His music was inspired by English folk music and American blues. He joined Island Records and started making albums. He started to make his music sound similar to jazz and rock. His most popular albums were "Bless the Weather" (1971), "Solid Air" (1973) and "One World" (1977). He made music with other people, such as Phil Collins. He kept making music until he died in 2009.
Career.
1960s and 1970s.
Martyn became a musician when he was 17. He played a mix of folk music and blues. This made him an important person in the British folk music community in the 1960s. In 1967, he joined Island Records, a record label. He released an album named "London Conversation" in 1967. One year later, he released "The Tumbler".
Martyn had a special way of playing the guitar. He played the acoustic guitar, but used many effect pedals with it. This made the guitar sound different. The first time he played the guitar in this way was on "Stormbringer!" in 1970. He made this album with his wife, Beverley Martyn. He made two albums with his wife. The second is named "The" "Road to Ruin".
In February 1973, Martyn released "Solid Air". The song "Solid Air" was made for singer Nick Drake. The album sold many copies. In 2009, a new version of "Solid Air" was made. It had more songs on it. A few months later, he made "Inside Out". This album was about improvised music. Later, he made more music. He visited Jamaica, and met Lee Perry. Perry was a music producer, and worked with Martyn to make new music.
In 1977, he released "One World". Many musicians helped Martyn make the album, such as Rico and Steve Winwood. Lee Perry helped him make the song "Big Muff". The album was influenced by dub music because of Perry. In 1978, he played guitar on "Harmony of the Spheres" by Neil Ardley.
1980s and 1990s.
At the end of the 1970s, Martyn's marriage got worse. Some say that this was because he was addicted to drugs and was an alcoholic. Beverly said that John hurt her. Martyn said this was a "very dark" time in his life. Because of this, he made the album "Grace and Danger". Phil Collins played the drums on the album. It was released in October 1980. Chris Blackwell, the owner of Island Records, did not want to release the album. This was because he was a good friend of Martyn and Beverley. He thought the album was too sad to release. Martyn wanted him to release the album, so he did. In the late 1980s, Martyn said "Grace and Danger" was his favorite album. It is one of his most popular albums.
In 1981, Martyn left Island Records. He joined WEA, another record label. He made two more albums: "Glorious Fool" and "Well Kept Secret". Both of these albums went into the top 30 on the UK Albums Chart. He left WEA after making the albums, and joined Island Records again. He made three albums with Island, and then left the record label again in 1988.
Martyn joined Permanent Records and made two albums. These were "The Apprentice" (1990) and "Cooltide" (1991). Phil Collins helped him make "No Little Boy" in 1993. This album had new versions of some of his older songs. In the late 1990s, Martyn started mixing his music with trip-hop. Some of his albums that had this type of music were "And" and "Glasgow Walker".
2000s.
Martyn had to have his right leg amputated below the knee. This was because a cyst opened on his leg, and he got sepsis. In July 2006, BBC made a documentary named "Johnny Too Bad" about this time. The documentary was also about Martyn writing and making music for "On the Cobbles". This was an album that was released in 2004. The album had a more acoustic sound.
On January 29, 2009, Martyn died in Thomastown, County Kilkenny, Ireland. He died because of acute respiratory distress syndrome. He had been living in Thomastown with his wife, Theresa Walsh. Martyn was put in the Order of the British Empire in 2009. Walsh accepted the award at Buckingham Palace for him. His last studio album, "Heaven and Earth", was finished in 2011. | v0 |

} | wikipedia | Richard Burnham
Richard Stephon Burnham (January 12, 1965) is an American former free-lance photojournalist, former firefighter captain, and convicted sex offender. Burnham was arrested in March 2007 after getting confronted by Chris Hansen on "Dateline NBC" "To Catch a Predator" for trying to have sex with someone who he thought was a 14-year-old girl. He was arrested and in December 2008, was sentenced to 180 days in jail and ordered to register as a sex offender.
Background.
"Dateline NBC" and a nonprofit organization called Perverted Justice worked together to catch people who were trying to have sex with minors and expose them on a show called "To Catch a Predator". They contacted the Ocean County prosecutor’s office in New Jersey because they heard they had a good computer crimes unit. They waited until they found enough people who wanted to meet minors before renting a house. The 28 men who were arrested had agreed to meet with what they thought were 12-15-year-old children for sex at a home in Mantoloking, New Jersey, but they were actually meeting with decoys from Perverted Justice and being filmed by Dateline NBC. The police and prosecutors were waiting outside the house to arrest them when they left.
Before getting caught in the sting, Richard Burnham worked as a free-lance photojournalist who specialized in sports photography for the "sportsshooter.com" website. He was also a retired member of the Hazardville Fire Department. 42-year-old Burnham began communication online with a decoy who told him she was a 14-year-old girl named "Jane." When chatting with the decoy on the internet, he pretended to be two different people, first posing as "uconnbluenwhite," a 21-year-old college student named "Rick." After mentioning about having sex, Burnham then posed as "Rick's" older friend 37-year-old "stevetakespix." In reality, he was speaking with someone from Perverted Justice posing as a teenage girl. Burnham then pretended to be "Steve" and used very gross and inappropriate language to describe how he wanted to take the girl's virginity.
Sting.
On March 31, 2007, Burnham drove over three hours to arrive at the sting house where he thought the decoy was home alone. Instead of meeting a real child, he was met by an 18-year-old actress named Casey, who was posing as the teenage girl. After she offered him some brownies, Burnham refused and continued to chase after her. Casey explained that she felt creeped out and immediately fled the room. Casey was instructed to walk away if she ever felt uncomfortable. After Burnham tried to chase after her, "To Catch a Predator" host Chris Hansen appeared and told him to sit down. When confronted, Burnham admitted to wanting to have sex with a 14-year-old girl and brought a long with him a bottle of KY lubricating jelly.
Burnham admitted that he works as a freelance photographer, but in his past job, he was a firefighter captain for 22 years. Burnham also shared that he was divorced and had two kids. He said that he tried to have sex with the girl because he was feeling lonely and broke. However, he insisted that he had never actually met with an underage girl for sex. When Hansen read back the chat logs to him, Burnham admitted to everything he had written and agreed that it was clear he was planning to have sex with the girl. When Hansen revealed his identity and the cameras, Burnham initially objected and admitted that he knew he was in trouble. After some persuading, Burnham left and was then arrested.
Arrest and sentence.
After Burnham was arrested, he was charged with luring and enticing a child, second-degree sexual assault and attempted second-degree sexual assault. He was released from prison on a $50,000 bond. Burnham would later have all his charges downgraded to a single felony count of attempting to endanger the welfare of a child under a plea deal. In December 2008, Judge Barbara Ann Villano sentenced Burnham to 180 days in jail. While Burnham is on parole, he could face between three to five years in prison if he commits another crime or fails to register as a sex offender. In August 2015, Burnham moved to Lady Lake, Florida and is registered as a sexual offender on the Florida Sex Offender Registry. | v0 |

Adjo Victoria Climbié (November 2, 1991 - February 25, 2000), better known as Anna Climbié or Victoria Climbié was born in Abobo near Abidjan in the Ivory Coast, and when she was aged seven she was sent by her parents to Europe with her great-aunt Marie Thérèse Kouao for a chance for an education. They travelled first to France, and then to England. In London, Kouao met bus-driver Carl Manning, and she and Victoria moved into his flat in Tottenham in July 1999. Here, Victoria was abused by both Kouao and Manning. She was admitted to casualty on February 24, 2000, unconscious and suffering from hypothermia; she died the next day. The Home Office pathologist noted 128 separate injuries and scars on her body.
Marie Thérèse Kouao and Carl Manning were charged with child cruelty and murder. During police interviews, both claimed that Victoria was possessed. Their trial ran from November 2000 to January 12, 2001. Both were found guilty, and were sentenced to life imprisonment.
Victoria's murder led to a public inquiry, chaired by Lord Herbert Laming, who investigated the role of social services, the NHS and police in her death. The Laming report found that on at least 12 occasions care workers could have saved her life. The highly critical report has lead to further reforms of the way child protection measures are implemented in the U.K., including the creation of a database to keep track of every child in Britain in order to better co-ordinate the notes of doctors and social workers. | v0 |

} | wikipedia | Kingdom of Mutapa
The kingdom of Mutapa was a state that existed in Africa. It was made of parts of modern-day Zimbabwe, and the middle part of Mozambique. Probably it was most successful in the 13th to the 15th century. The Portugese were th e first to come to the southern parts of Africa. When they did, the kingdom had alreadysplit into smaller parts. As the people didn't use writing, most of what is known is from ruins, and archeological sites. Great Zimbabwe is probably the best known of these. Other than that, there are many oral traditions about its rulers.
How the kingdom was organized in detail is unclear. The oral traditions that are there, tell that there was a great focus on the king, as a person. This points to some king of absolutism. Likely, the king was sacred, and seen as god. This is typical for early African states, and can also be observed elsewhere in the region.
They used canals for irrigation. These canals are open ditches alongside the mountain hills. There's a lot of engineering which keeps the water flowing. Both of these point to a society which was higlhly organised, and able recruit many workers, in a short time.
The kingdom likely had two periods: in the first, Great Zimbabwe was built, and was the center of economic activity. In a second period, there were other centers as well. | v0 |
