They were a get-well present for my mother, who has been in hospital for the past few weeks. However, I was shocked when the flowers were delivered to my mother's door. The blooms were not as advertised online. In fact, they bore no resemblance to the photos displayed on the product page. The bouquet contained several flowers that were visibly wilted and past their prime. Some petals were already browning, and others had begun to wilt, giving the bouquet an overall neglected appearance. It was clear that the flowers had not been properly cared for or stored in optimal conditions. The lack of freshness was evident in the drooping stems and the overall limpness of the blooms.\n\nI am a loyal customer of yours and have ordered from your website numerous times. I have always trusted your brand and appreciated the quality and beauty of your floral arrangements. I have to say I'm quite disappointed and very dissatisfied. I have never had any problems before. This is not what I would expect from a renowned brand such as yours. I am writing to you to allow you to make amends for the poor service I have received. I look forward to a prompt resolution to this matter. Please contact me to discuss the appropriate course of action. Should I not hear back from you or if I am dissatisfied with the proposed resolution, I may consider alternative steps to rectify this situation.\n\nYours faithfully,\n\n\n", "role": "assistant" } ]

It’s also the state where inappropriate or sexual material is more times than not flagged in books by LGBTQ and Black authors, held up by conservative activists as examples of perversion in our schools. Florida is the state that bans teachers from discussing sexual orientation or gender identity in all grades and limits how they can talk about race. It’s got a Legislature that made it more onerous for districts to approve and review books. Where schools preemptively asked teachers to remove books from their classrooms until they conducted that review process.\nLet’s keep in mind that this year the Florida Legislature passed a bill that allows any person in a county to challenge a book and force a district to pull it out of circulation until it goes through a review. If a parent disagrees with a district’s ruling on that challenge, they can appeal to the governor-appointed commissioner of education, who will most likely be all ears. No wonder a parent convinced a North Florida district to remove a novel about school segregation called “Little Rock Nine” — based on real events in U.S. history — from elementary schools even though it is at a third-grade reading level. Who needs book burnings when fear creates its own chilling effect?

Her mother had died peacefully in her sleep, but Kyra couldn't reckon with a lifetime of living to justify one iota of death. Still, she was coping; the hole in her heart was smaller every day, albeit by a little. \n\nLooking at the painting helped. Her great, great uncle Keith had been an exceptional artist, and at some point, he'd gathered as many family members as he could find, both near and far, to be painted. His work was immaculate, with clear, recognizable features on every person. He must have truly loved them. \n\nShe would brew a cup of tea in the morning and spend some time with the painting before heading to work. She didn't recognize many faces, but it was comforting to know that they had passed on like her mother. That was an odd thing to appreciate, she knew, but it gave her solace, nonetheless.\n\nOne day, in a moment of strong emotion, she touched the painting. The world seemed to shimmer around her, and she found herself in another world entirely. Somehow, she remained calm, possessed with the strong inclination that she should show no emotion in this place of reverence. \n\nShe had some inking of where she was, too. In some way, she recognized the gathering place up ahead as the place she would one day live with her family after this life. It was cast with a silver sheen; everything seemed slightly out of focus, as if the existence of the place was constantly being challenged and only maintained by conscious effort—perhaps that was exactly the cause.\n\nUp ahead, she saw her mother, and despite the thumping of her heart and the inner voice warning her to go back, she raced toward her, calling out her name. The figure disappeared as Kyra approached, leaving her alone at the table. A sense of dread washed over her, and Kyra turned to leave the same way she had come, but the painting was nowhere to be seen.", "role": "assistant" } ]

During the Roman Empire, the ruling class utilized the adoption of children as a means of acquiring cheap labor. Seeing how children were being used in this way, the Catholic Church stepped in and worked to rescue abandoned children, placing them in monasteries where they could be raised in a safe environment and given religious teaching.\n\nIn Europe, during the Middle Ages, abandoned children were quite common. Because these children were often used as cheap labor or left to live in the streets, homes, or orphanages for these children began to spring up. In the beginning, there were almost no laws to protect kids or make sure that they were treated fairly. As time went on, the clergy in local churches began to organize the care and housing of abandoned children.\n\nIn the 19th century, the system of apprenticeship and informal adoption was born. Social welfare activists created “Orphan Asylums” that housed children for the purpose of placing them in the care of local businessmen. For instance, a male child might be adopted by the local carpenter and taught the trade of carpentry. This gave the child a safe place to live, while learning a trade he could use to earn a living. It also gave the businessman an assistant to help him around his shop.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Many jobs require a higher education than that; some even require a Ph.D. Here are some options to consider when finalizing your major.\n\n•\tAstronomy Teacher: You can teach high school students astronomy, sometimes with only a bachelor's degree. However, requirements for high school teachers vary by state. The median pay is just over 30K a year, with the high end being nearly 60K yearly.\n•\tClimatologist: A climatologist studies climate and weather and uses the information they gather to predict long-term weather patterns. They also study climate change and how it is affecting the planet. You will need a least a bachelor's degree, but depending on location and employer, you may need a Masters's degree. The median pay is 70K, but it can go up to about 100K annually.\n•\tAstronomy Curators: If you want to do something different and fun in this field, you can get a job as an astronomy curator at a planetarium or museum. You will ensure all the exhibits are correct and up to date. You may also work with the public by giving tours or working behind the scenes to create website content or brochures. You will need at least a bachelor's degree. This is a good-paying job with a median pay of just over 90K and a high range above 160K a year.\n\nThere are plenty of other jobs in the field, including technical writers, college professors, astronomers, aeronautical engineers, astrophysicists, research scientists, and meteorologists.\n\n", "role": "assistant" } ]

Ask someone - If you don’t have a watch and there’s no clock, you can also ask someone. If you’re in a store or somewhere with employees, you can ask them. You can also ask coworkers and friends if you’re working or out and about with others.\n4. Look at the sun - This will only give you a relative track of what time it is, but it can help. When the sun is halfway up in the sky, it’s about noon. It also rises in the East and sets in the West. By looking at where the sun is in the sky, you can get a relative idea of the time.\n5.

If you don’t want to keep a phone, but you’re fine with some other piece of tech you’re less tied to, try to find another device that tells the time. Most handheld video game consoles will tell you what time it is, and some can fit right in your pocket.

I’ll still want to go out and perform, but when I do have kids I want to be a mother to them. I don’t want to leave them and be on the road all the time.\n\nYou were photographed with Robbie Carrico at your birthday party… Is he a potential husband?\nNo, he’s not my boyfriend, he’s just a really good friend of mine. When he was opening up for me on tour (with his band, Boys And Girls United), we hung out a lot, we really vibed off each other and it was cool to have someone there who understood what I was going through. So for my party I was like, it’s my birthday, we’re really good friends and I don’t care what everyone thinks. But everyone was like, “Are you going out?” and I was still like, “No! We’re just friends!”\n\nIt’s normal for teenagers to date for a couple of weeks, break up, and a week later be dating someone else. Does being in the spotlight stop you doing that?\nI never really did that in high school. I’m the type of person that, once I find a guy, I’m gonna be with him for a while.

It’s kind of sad that someone’s fans would turn on her just because she’s in love with somebody.\n\nLet’s end on a happy note. Are you quitting school now you’re 18?\nNo, I’m still studying.

I don’t have a tutor on the road with me and I used to get really upset ’cos I had to learn algebra and geometry and everything myself and it was really, really hard.

Primarily, we will focus on ball lightning's mechanisms, characteristics, and possible applications. Several current hypotheses attempting to define the start of ball lightning will be covered, including electromagnetism, atmospheric chemicals, and plasma physics. We will discuss all observed properties, such as color, sound, and movement, and investigate whether any of these have a lasting effect on the environment or our own bodies.

It has been marked by hyperinflation, escalating starvation,[6] disease, crime and mortality rates, resulting in massive emigration from the country.[7]\n\nThe situation is by far the worst economic crisis in Venezuela's history, and is also the worst facing a country in peacetime since the mid-20th century. The crisis is often considered to be more severe than that of the United States during the Great Depression, the 1985–1994 Brazilian economic crisis, or the 2008–2009 hyperinflation in Zimbabwe.[8] Other writers have also compared aspects of the crisis, such as unemployment and GDP contraction, to that of Bosnia and Herzegovina after the 1992–1995 Bosnian War, and those in Russia, Cuba and Albania following the collapse of the Eastern Bloc in 1989 and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.[9][10]\n\nOn 2 June 2010, Chávez declared an \"economic war\" due to increasing shortages in Venezuela. The crisis intensified under the Maduro government, growing more severe as a result of low oil prices in early 2015,[11] and a drop in Venezuela's oil production from lack of maintenance and investment.[12] In January 2016, the opposition-led National Assembly declared a \"health humanitarian crisis\".[13] The government failed to cut spending in the face of falling oil revenues, and has dealt with the crisis by denying its existence[14] and violently repressing opposition.[12][15] Extrajudicial killings by the Venezuelan government became common, with the United Nations (UN) reporting 5,287 killings by the Special Action Forces in 2017, with at least another 1,569 killings recorded in the first six months of 2019, stating that some of the killings were \"done as a reprisal for [the victims'] participation in anti-government demonstrations.\"[16]", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The subject of this article can be categorized as History.

[ { "content": "", "role": "system" }, { "content": "When did the public buyouts of privately-owned transit systems happen in Atlanta, Baltimore, and Houston? Use the article below to answer the question.\n\nPublic transit systems face daunting challenges across the U.S., from pandemic ridership losses to traffic congestion, fare evasion and pressure to keep rides affordable. In some cities, including Boston, Kansas City and Washington, many elected officials and advocates see fare-free public transit as the solution.\n\nFederal COVID-19 relief funds, which have subsidized transit operations across the nation at an unprecedented level since 2020, offered a natural experiment in free-fare transit. Advocates applauded these changes and are now pushing to make fare-free bus lines permanent.\n\nBut although these experiments aided low-income families and modestly boosted ridership, they also created new political and economic challenges for beleaguered transit agencies. With ridership still dramatically below pre-pandemic levels and temporary federal support expiring, transportation agencies face an economic and managerial “doom spiral.”\n\nFree public transit that doesn’t bankrupt agencies would require a revolution in transit funding. In most regions, U.S. voters – 85% of whom commute by automobile – have resisted deep subsidies and expect fare collection to cover a portion of operating budgets. Studies also show that transit riders are likely to prefer better, low-cost service to free rides on the substandard options that exist in much of the U.S.\n\nWhy isn’t transit free?\nAs I recount in my new book, “The Great American Transit Disaster,” mass transit in the U.S. was an unsubsidized, privately operated service for decades prior to the 1960s and 1970s. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, prosperous city dwellers used public transit to escape from overcrowded urban neighborhoods to more spacious “streetcar suburbs.” Commuting symbolized success for families with the income to pay the daily fare.\n\nThese systems were self-financing: Transit company investors made their money in suburban real estate when rail lines opened up. They charged low fares to entice riders looking to buy land and homes. The most famous example was the Pacific Electric “red car” transit system in Los Angeles that Henry Huntingdon built to transform his vast landholdings into profitable subdivisions.\n\nHowever, once streetcar suburbs were built out, these companies had no further incentive to provide excellent transit. Unhappy voters felt suckered into crummy commutes. In response, city officials retaliated against the powerful transit interests by taxing them heavily and charging them for street repairs.\n\nMeanwhile, the introduction of mass-produced personal cars created new competition for public transit. As autos gained popularity in the 1920s and 1930s, frustrated commuters swapped out riding for driving, and private transit companies like Pacific Electric began failing.\n\nGrudging public takeovers\nIn most cities, politicians refused to prop up the often-hated private transit companies that now were begging for tax concessions, fare increases or public buyouts. In 1959, for instance, politicians still forced Baltimore’s fading private transit company, the BTC, to divert US$2.6 million in revenues annually to taxes. The companies retaliated by slashing maintenance, routes and service.\n\nLocal and state governments finally stepped in to save the ruins of the hardest-strapped companies in the 1960s and 1970s. Public buyouts took place only after decades of devastating losses, including most streetcar networks, in cities such as Baltimore (1970), Atlanta (1971) and Houston (1974).\n\nThese poorly subsidized public systems continued to lose riders. Transit’s share of daily commuters fell from 8.5% in 1970 to 4.9% in 2018. And while low-income people disproportionately ride transit, a 2008 study showed that roughly 80% of the working poor commuted by vehicle instead, despite the high cost of car ownership.\n\nThere were exceptions. Notably, San Francisco and Boston began subsidizing transit in 1904 and 1918, respectively, by sharing tax revenues with newly created public operators. Even in the face of significant ridership losses from 1945 to 1970, these cities’ transit systems kept fares low, maintained legacy rail and bus lines and modestly renovated their systems.\n\nConverging pressures\nToday, public transit is under enormous pressure nationwide. Inflation and driver shortages are driving up operating costs. Managers are spending more money on public safety in response to rising transit crime rates and unhoused people using buses and trains for shelter.\n\nMany systems are also contending with decrepit infrastructure. The American Society of Civil Engineers gives U.S. public transit systems a grade of D-minus and estimates their national backlog of unmet capital needs at $176 billion. Deferred repairs and upgrades reduce service quality, leading to events like a 30-day emergency shutdown of an entire subway line in Boston in 2022.\n\n\nDespite flashing warning signs, political support for public transit remains weak, especially among conservatives. So it’s not clear that relying on government to make up for free fares is sustainable or a priority.\n\nFor example, in Washington, conflict is brewing within the city government over how to fund a free bus initiative. Kansas City, the largest U.S. system to adopt fare-free transit, faces a new challenge: finding funding to expand its small network, which just 3% of its residents use.\n\nA better model\nOther cities are using more targeted strategies to make public transit accessible to everyone. For example, “Fair fare” programs in San Francisco, New York and Boston offer discounts based on income, while still collecting full fares from those who can afford to pay. Income-based discounts like these reduce the political liability of giving free rides to everyone, including affluent transit users.\n\n\nSome providers have initiated or are considering fare integration policies. In this approach, transfers between different types of transit and systems are free; riders pay one time. For example, in Chicago, rapid transit or bus riders can transfer at no charge to a suburban bus to finish their trips, and vice versa.\n\nFare integration is less costly than fare-free systems, and lower-income riders stand to benefit. Enabling riders to pay for all types of trips with a single smart card further streamlines their journeys.\n\nAs ridership grows under Fair Fares and fare integration, I expect that additional revenue will help build better service, attracting more riders. Increasing ridership while supporting agency budgets will help make the political case for deeper public investments in service and equipment. A virtuous circle could develop.\n\nHistory shows what works best to rebuild public transit networks, and free transit isn’t high on the list. Cities like Boston, San Francisco and New York have more transit because voters and politicians have supplemented fare collection with a combination of property taxes, bridge tolls, sales taxes and more. Taking fares out of the formula spreads the red ink even faster.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Public buyouts of privately-owned transit systems happened in Atlanta in 1971, in Boston in 1970, and in Houston in 1974.", "role": "assistant" } ]
