[ { "content": "", "role": "system" }, { "content": "tldr, what are the bottom-line pros and cons of why I should invest vs pay off a house?\n_____________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\nThe pros and cons of paying off a mortgage early depend on the borrower's financial circumstances, the loan's interest rate, and how close the individual is to retirement. Another consideration is whether to invest that money instead. Consider the interest cost that could be saved by paying off a mortgage ten years early compared to various investment returns earned by investing the money in the market.\n\nKEY TAKEAWAYS\nWhether paying off the mortgage early is a good choice can depend on your financial situation, the loan's interest rate, and how close you are to retirement.\nPaying off a mortgage has its benefits, but consider other factors such as the tax deductibility of mortgage interest and low loan rates.\nInvesting the money instead may generate higher returns than the loan's interest cost, but markets also come with the risk of losses.\nHow Paying Off a Home Affects Your Finances\nMortgage payments are made up of two components: interest on the loan and a principal amount that pays down the total outstanding balance. A $1,500 monthly payment might pay $500 toward interest. The other $1,000 will reduce the principal loan balance. Interest rates on a mortgage loan can vary depending on the economy and the borrower's creditworthiness.\n\nA loan payment schedule over a 30-year period is referred to as an amortization schedule. The payments for a fixed-rate mortgage loan mostly go toward interest in the early years. A larger portion of the loan payment is applied toward reducing the principal in later years.\n\nAssume that you have a 30-year mortgage with a starting balance of $200,000 and a fixed interest rate of 3.5%. It would work out like this.\n\nComponents of a Mortgage\n Payment Number\t Monthly Payment\tPrincipal\t Interest\t Loan Balance Remaining\n 1\t $898.09\t$314.76\t $583.33\t $199,685.24\n 109 (10 years)\t $898.09\t$431.10\t $499.99\t $159,679.65\n 229 (20 years)\t $898.09\t$611.45\t $286.64\t $97,665.59\n301 (25 years)\t$898.09\t$754.10\t$143.99\t$48,613.86\n360 (last payment)\t$898.09\t$895.48\t$2.61\t0.00\nSample Loan Payment Schedule with Interest and Principal\n\nA larger portion of the fixed monthly payment goes toward paying interest during the first ten years, but the percentage of the monthly payment that goes toward interest versus principal reverses as time goes on. More than $611 went toward principal while $286.64 went toward interest after 20 years. All but $2.61 of the last monthly payment went toward paying the principal balance.\n\nThe portion of the mortgage loan payment that's applied to principal and interest changes over the years because the loan balance is higher in the early years and smaller in the later years. You're paying interest on more of a balance in the early years. Less interest is owed as the monthly payments eventually reduce the outstanding loan.\n\nHow much interest will you save?\nSome homeowners choose to pay off their mortgages early, and the benefits can vary depending on your financial circumstances. Retirees might want to reduce or eliminate their mortgage debts because they're no longer earning employment income.\n\nLet's assume that a borrower has received an inheritance of $120,000. There are ten years left on their mortgage. The original mortgage was $200,000 at a fixed interest rate over 30 years. This table shows what it would cost to pay off the loan ten years early and how much interest would be saved based on three loan rates: 3.5%, 4.5%, or 5.5%.\n\nCost to Payoff Mortgage Ten Years Early and Interest Saved\n10 Year Balance Remaining\tInterest Rate \tTotal Interest Cost for 30 Years\tInterest Saved\n $97,665\t 3.5%\t$123,312\t$20,270\n $104,735\t 4.5%\t$164,813\t$28,411\n$111,657\t5.5%\t$208,808\t$37,618\nBalance Remaining in Ten Years at Various Interest Rates ($200K Starting Balance)\nThe higher the interest rate, the larger the amount remaining on the loan will be with ten years left on the mortgage.\n\nSave interest by paying off the loan\nThe total interest cost for the 30-year loan would be $123,312 at the 3.5% interest rate. The borrower would save $20,270 by paying it off ten years early.\n\nSaving more than $20,000 in interest is significant, but the interest amount saved represents only 17% of the total interest cost for a 30-year loan: $103,042 in interest has already been paid in the loan's first 20 years ($123,312 - $20,270), which accounts for 83% of the total interest over the life of the loan.\n\nHow Investing Affects Your Finances\nIt might be worth considering whether some or all of your money might be better off invested in the financial markets. The rate of return earned from investing might exceed the interest you'd pay on the mortgage over the final ten years of the loan.\n\nThe \"opportunity cost,\" the foregone interest that could be earned in the market, should be considered. But many factors go into evaluating an investment, including the expected return and the risk associated with the investment. This table shows how much could be earned on $100,000 if the money was invested for ten years based on four average rates of return: 2%, 5%, 7%, and 10%.\n\nHow Much $100,000 Can Potentially Earn in Ten Years\n Invested Amount\t Years\t Rate of Return\t Investment Gain\n$100,000\t10\t2%\t$22,019\n $100,000\t 10\t 5%\t $62,889\n $100,000\t 10\t 7%\t $96,715\n $100,000\t 10\t 10%\t $159,374\nInvestment Gains on $100,000 in Ten Years\nThese investment gains were compounded. Interest was earned on the interest and no money was withdrawn during the ten-year period.\n\nInvestment Gains vs. Loan Interest Saved\nA homeowner would earn $22,019 based on an average rate of return of 2% if they invested $100,000 rather than use the money to pay down their mortgage in ten years. There would be no material difference between investing the money versus paying off the 3.5% mortgage based on the $20,270 saved in interest from the earlier loan table.\n\nBut the homeowner would earn $62,889 if the average rate of return was 5% for the ten years. This is more money than the interest saved in all three of the earlier loan scenarios whether the loan rate was 3.5% ($20,270), 4.5% ($28,411), or 5.5% ($37,618).\n\n The borrower would earn more than double the interest saved from paying the loan off early, even with using the 5.5% loan rate, with a ten-year rate of return of 7% or 10%.\nRepaying their mortgage rather than investing the money not only saves the borrower the interest they would have paid on the mortgage, but it also frees up money that otherwise would have gone to monthly repayments. This money could also be invested with the same rate of return.\n\nDifferent investments come with different risks\nEach type of investment comes with its own risk. U.S. Treasury bonds would be considered low-risk investments because they're guaranteed by the U.S. government if they're held until their expiration date or maturity.\n1\n But equities or stock investments have a higher risk of price fluctuations, called volatility, and this can lead to losses.\n\nThere's a risk that some or all your money could be lost if you decide to invest your money in the market instead of paying off your mortgage ten years early. You would still have to make ten years of loan payments as a result if the investment loses money.\n\nThe stock market can provide sizable returns, but there's also a risk of sizable losses. Just as taking on more risk can magnify investment gains, it can also lead to more losses so the market risk is a double-edged sword.\n\nA 10% investment gain isn't an easy goal to achieve, particularly after factoring in fees, taxes, and inflation.\n2\n Investors should have realistic expectations as to what they can earn in the market.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The TLDR bottom-line pros and cons of investing vs. paying off a 30-year mortgage are as follows:\n\nPaying off mortgage:\n\nPros:\n1. Risk is reduced by reducing the mortgage balance and interest payments. \n2. Potential savings due to reducing the amount of money that would have been spent paying interest.\n\nCons:\n1. Tax loss from reduced tax benefits as anticipated.\n2. Opportunity loss, as the overall additional payment of the mortgage may prove to be less profitable than additional earnings from the investment.\n\nInvesting in the stock market:\n\nPros:\n1. Higher potential returns from the stock market (potentially 10% or more per year) compared to homes (which typically appreciate at 2-4% per year).\n2. Investment in a portfolio is more diverse and less volatile compared to investment in one fixed asset (the home) \n\nCons:\n1. Money invested in the stock market is subject to loss, which could be catastrophic, especially if one is planning to retire soon.\n2. Market growth is not as guaranteed, whereas a paid-off home will always be a paid-off home.\n\nThere are many factors to consider for the best decision, such as how soon one will retire, the existing amount of remaining mortgage, the interest rates, the tolerance for risk, and the overall returns in the market. It is best to make an informed decision and decide what's right for you.\n", "role": "assistant" } ]

Some of these may include the following:\n\nYou won’t have as much control over your professional life as you won’t always be able to change the environment, service, or operation of the practice.\nThe procedures you do will likely be determined by the owner doctor rather than chosen by you, giving you less of a say in the type of dentistry you perform.\nIt won’t be quite as easy to set goals for your future.\nAs a new doctor in an established practice, you’ll need to gain a new patient base, which will require you to invest time and effort into gaining patient trust before becoming established within the practice.\nThe financial gain may not be as lucrative as running your own practice.\nThere’s not as much of a sense of accomplishment that you could get from running a successful practice.\n\nThat’s not a decision we can make – it’s up to you! However, we still can give you a few things to think about if you haven’t yet made up your mind about what to do:\n\nDo you dislike reporting to others and have little control of your own schedule?\nAre you incredibly competitive and love to set goals for yourself to reach?\nDo you enjoy all the management and administrative aspects of running a business?\nIf you answered yes to these questions, the more likely it is that owning a dental practice is the best option for you.

Finally, there is universal love, where a person has a love for everyone and everything, regardless of whether or not they receive love in return; this love does not expect anything. It is patient and kind, and it admires everything that it comes into contact with.\n\nHuman: How do you know so much about love?

Every autumn when the acorns began to drop from the trees, he would fly about the forest picking up as many as he could carry at one time. He would put them in the hollow he called home high in the forest’s most ancient oak. \n\nAll the while cantankerous squirrels watched hoping they could take a big bite out of Jack’s growing horde. Like all autumnal blue jays, Jack ate the acorns ravenously. Though Jack also had a magical talent - to sense precisely which acorns had the potential to grow into the most powerful and bountiful of oak trees. Whenever Jack found one of these acorns, he would bury it in the forest floor, carefully covering it again with rich soil. Year by year, Jack’s carefully selected acorns sprouted, growing into majestic oak trees that towered over the forest floor. Jack took pride in knowing that he’d played a small part in shaping the forest's landscape.\n\nThen one June, a ferocious storm swept through the ancient, shattering trees, uprooting mighty oaks, and decimating large tracks of forest. Jack watched in horror as the storm threatened to uproot his beloved oak tree. Seeing their moment, the squirrel broke out and charged the hollow looking to pillage Jack’s hoard. They took every last acorn, nut by nut, until the entire stash was bare, and Jack’s heart was broken. \n\nWhen the storm passed, Jack’s blessed acorns were gone, his beloved tree was decimated, and the forest was sundered. He laid down on the ground in total surrender. His life’s work was seemingly destroyed. Preparing to draw his last breath, Jack lifted his eyes and saw the first cotyledon leaf of an oak sapling pushing up through the forest soil. It was one of the acorns he’d planted. Hope would spring a new, and one day the forest would be healed. \n\nJack’s legacy lived on in the towering oak trees that sprang up in the rejuvenated forest. It was a fitting testament to all his hard work, knowing that his magic would live on in their bountiful boughs. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "", "role": "system" }, { "content": "Write this article so that a layperson could understand it\n\nNearly a year after the Supreme Court stripped the right to abortion from American woman, a post-Roe political landscape has come into clearer form, and this much is obvious: Where voters are allowed to have a say, they give a resounding “yes” to abortion rights. And in the months since the Dobbs decision, when voters have had a direct up-or-down yes-or-no on abortion rights, abortion rights have won.\n\nJust last month in Wisconsin, a tight and closely-watched state supreme court election was widely understood to be a referendum on abortion rights, and the pro-choice judge won by a stunning 11 points. And in Michigan, Governor Gretchen Whitmer and a mass of Democrats running for state legislature enjoyed historic wins, largely because of abortion rights, and Whitmer made good this month on a campaign promise and repealed the state’s archaic 1931 abortion ban.\n\nAs Rebecca Traister wrote in a must-read New York magazine piece: Abortion wins elections.\n\nBut here’s the problem: Republicans don’t care.\n\nAfter decades of saying that the question of abortion’s legality should be left to voters and the democratic process, the GOP is grabbing the issue away from their constituents. In Republican-led states, abortion bans are only expanding, even in direct opposition to popular opinion.\n\nIdaho became the first state in the nation to criminalize helping a minor obtain an abortion out of state.\nFlorida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a six-week abortion ban. (The six-week ban will take effect only if the state’s current 15-week ban is upheld by the state Supreme Court, pending an ongoing legal challenge.)\nThe Tennessee legislature narrowly passed a bill that allows a tiny exception to the state’s harsh abortion ban, and permits doctors to perform abortions to save a pregnant woman’s life—but the passage was narrow because so many Tennessee Republicans didn’t want to allow for a clearer life exception.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Abortion Rights and Voter Support: A Closer Look at the Current Political Landscape\n\nAlmost a year following a Supreme Court decision that limited abortion rights in the United States, we can now observe the impact of these changes on the political scene. It is becoming evident that in places where voters have a voice, they overwhelmingly support abortion rights. Recent elections and referendum outcomes have demonstrated a clear majority in favor of preserving these rights. However, despite public sentiment, Republican-led states continue to pass restrictive abortion laws, disregarding popular opinion.\n\nAbortion Wins Elections:\nRecent events have shown that the topic of abortion plays a significant role in electoral outcomes. In a closely-watched state supreme court election in Wisconsin, the pro-choice judge secured victory by a remarkable 11-point margin. Likewise, Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, along with numerous Democrats running for state legislature, achieved historic wins largely due to their support for abortion rights. As evidence of her commitment, Whitmer recently repealed Michigan's outdated abortion ban from 1931.\n\nRepublican Disregard:\nCuriously, despite the strong support for abortion rights among voters, the Republican party appears indifferent to public opinion on this matter. Throughout the years, Republicans advocated for leaving the legality of abortion to voters and democratic processes. However, in a surprising turn, they are now seizing control of the issue and disregarding their constituents' preferences. This is evident in the expansion of abortion bans in Republican-led states, even when such bans directly contradict popular sentiment.\n\nExamples of Restrictive Abortion Laws:\nTo illustrate this trend, consider the following recent developments:\nIdaho passed a law making it a criminal offense to help a minor obtain an abortion out of state, becoming the first state to do so.\nFlorida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a six-week abortion ban, which will only take effect if the state's current 15-week ban is upheld by the state Supreme Court.\nTennessee's legislature narrowly approved a bill that allows for a limited exception to the state's stringent abortion ban, permitting doctors to perform abortions to save a pregnant woman's life. However, the passage was only achieved by a small margin, as many Tennessee Republicans were reluctant to include a clearer exception for life-threatening situations.\n\nDespite overwhelming voter support for abortion rights, Republican-led states continue to implement restrictive laws that curtail access to abortion. This disconnect between public sentiment and legislative action raises concerns about the extent to which politicians are truly representing the will of their constituents. The ongoing debate surrounding abortion rights highlights the importance of understanding and participating in the democratic process to ensure that the voices of citizens are heard and respected.", "role": "assistant" } ]

The head of the CDC, Dmitri Costas, issued the following statement: \n\n\"Dihydrogen monoxide is a clear, odorless substance that has been found to dissolve hard substances over time, cause drowning in otherwise healthy individuals, and is found in abundance in all phases (gas, liquid, solid) around the world. People must be educated on the impact dihydrogen monoxide is having on them and their environment, and we must take steps to ensure no one is harmed by this dangerous substance.\"\n\nSome from the scientific community have expressed doubts about the effects of dihydrogen monoxide, explaining that the substance is beneficial to humans and the environment and that further studies should be conducted to understand the full benefits of this chemical. \"It appears the chemical dihydrogen monoxide is made up of elements that are already found in abundance in nature - hydrogen and oxygen - so having a chemical made from these elements, regardless of its stoichiometry, should be examined further,\" said a spokesperson for Ethical Chemical Experimentation in Albany, New York. \"It is also possible that we may find many novel uses for dihydrogen monoxide that we have yet to discover that could benefit humans and society as a whole.\"\n\nSo far according to the CDC, there have been 117 reports of cases involving dihydrogen monoxide in the past week. These cases include a 45-year-old man who drowned from ingestion of a saline form of the chemical while swimming in the Atlantic Ocean; a 22-year-old California woman who was killed by frozen dihydrogen monoxide falling from the sky during a severe storm; and the appearance of erosion of mountains in the Appalachians where an abundance of the chemical can be found on the mountaintops.\n\nStay tuned for more information on this case as it develops.", "role": "assistant" } ]

There were water fountains in multiple areas of the park that the other dogs could drink out of; Eddie was thankful for that because he had been running around for so long that he frequently became thirsty. Also, in some areas of the park, some vendors served two different kinds of foods: meals for dog owners who wanted a quick bite to eat while they watched their dogs and snacks for the dogs themselves. The prices for these foods were fantastic value: lots of food for a great price!\n\nI appreciated how well-kept the grass was, as it seemed very well-manicured and free from dog poop. It seems all dog owners who come to the park are well-informed of the requirement that they pick up after their dogs, and it showed in the cleanliness of the park itself. In addition, there were many park benches with shade above them for owners who wanted to take a break from the festivities.\n\nI remember on the day that Eddie and I went to the park, there was a live band playing in the center of the park, and there were people who brought blankets, sleeping mats, and lawn chairs for themselves and their dogs to sit on while they listened to the music. It was a wonderful day for Eddie and me, and I'll never forget it.\n\nOverall, I would recommend anyone with a dog who is looking for a safe, friendly, comfortable place to relax while giving your dog a treat and a day out.

[ { "content": "", "role": "system" }, { "content": "Classify the sentiment of the following text as subjective or objective, Explain your reasoning.\n\nn outbreak of viral pneumonia that began in the central Chinese city of Wuhan at the end of 2019 has sickened more than 200,000 people and led to more than 8,000 deaths worldwide, as of March 18. (See the latest figures here.)\n\nScientists have made rapid progress in understanding the culprit, a new virus in the coronavirus family, which has been named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, or SARS-CoV-2. The pneumonia-like disease it causes is called COVID-19.\n\nAs the virus has spread, however, misinformation has, too. We’ve written about many bogus claims about the new coronavirus spread through social media, as well as false and misleading claims made by politicians. See our Coronavirus Coverage page for a guide to our articles. \n\nHere, we answer some key questions about what is known so far about the outbreak and the virus.\nWhen did the outbreak begin, and what is the cause?\nScientists are still working to determine when the virus first emerged in people, but the earliest known instances of the disease occurred in early December in Wuhan, a city of 11 million in central China. \n\nAfter a string of mysterious pneumonia cases, many of them linked to a seafood market selling wild game and live animals, officials reported the outbreak to the World Health Organization on Dec. 31.\n\nBy Jan. 7, Chinese authorities had isolated a virus, later named SARS-CoV-2, as the cause of the disease, and shared the genome a few days later. This allowed other countries to test for the virus, and for scientists to begin devising treatments and investigating how the outbreak began.\n\nCoronaviruses are a diverse family of large RNA viruses that have characteristic spikes on their surface, making them look like they have a halo, or corona, when viewed under a microscope.\n\nMost coronaviruses that infect humans are relatively benign and cause mild respiratory diseases such as the common cold, said Susan Weiss, a coronavirus researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, in a phone interview. \n\nBut in recent years, new coronaviruses have cropped up that are far more dangerous to humans, including the severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, virus, which led to a global outbreak in 2003, and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS, virus, which was identified in 2012.\n\nAccording to the WHO, SARS ultimately infected more than 8,000 people, killing 774. Since 2012, there have been nearly 2,500 MERS cases and 858 deaths.\n\nThe new virus is fairly similar to the SARS virus — and is in the same betacoronavirus subgroup as both the SARS and MERS viruses — but is considered a new pathogen.\n\nWhat are the symptoms, and how severe is the disease?\nThe virus causes a pneumonia-like respiratory illness that varies in severity, but can be deadly. Symptoms include fever, cough and shortness of breath. \n\nA report in the Lancet that analyzed the first 41 people admitted to the hospital for COVID-19 infection suggests that clinically, the illness is similar to SARS, although fewer patients appear to have diarrhea or upper respiratory symptoms, such as sneezing, a runny nose and sore throat. \n\nSome people also report fatigue, and in some cases people have been found to be infected, but clear of any symptoms. \n\nMany of the symptoms are common to other respiratory diseases. Lab tests based on the virus’ genetic sequence can confirm infection.\n\nIt’s not yet known how frequently people die from COVID-19. The reported fatality rates have fluctuated as the disease has spread, hovering around 2-3% in late January, and around 4% as of March 18. For comparison, SARS killed around 10% of infected people, if not more, while seasonal influenza typically kills 0.1% or less, David Fisman, an epidemiologist at the University of Toronto, said in an email.\n\nBut these estimates, which are simple calculations of the number of deaths relative to the number of known cases, may not accurately reflect how dangerous the virus is, since the disease course is still underway for many patients, Fisman said. It’s also likely that far more people have been infected, but have not gone to hospitals or had their illnesses confirmed. For example, if two-thirds of cases are unreported, he said, the case fatality rate may be significantly lower. (For more on the fatality rate, see our March 5 story “Trump and the Coronavirus Death Rate.”)\n\nAccording to a February study by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 14% of cases in mainland China were severe and 5% were critical.\n\nReports indicate that while healthy people can fall seriously ill and die, deaths are primarily in older folks and those with preexisting conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory conditions and hypertension.\n\nThe Chinese CDC study, for instance, found a mortality rate of 14.8% in patients 80 and older and 8% for those 70 to 79, while the overall fatality rate then was 2.3% for cases in mainland China.\n\nSimilar statistics from Italy bear out this trend. As of March 15, no one in the country below the age of 30 had died from COVID-19, but a fifth or more of those above age 80 with the disease had. In Italy, about 25% of cases have been severe.\n\nHow is the virus transmitted, and how contagious is it?\nThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the new coronavirus is transmitted from person to person in close contact, within about 6 feet of one another.\n\nScientists suspect the transmission is similar to how influenza is spread, with the virus travelling through respiratory droplets when infected people cough or sneeze. This is how scientists believe past coronaviruses such as SARS and MERS have spread.\n\nThe incubation period, or how long before someone who is infected shows symptoms, is estimated to be around 4 days, but may range from 2 to 14 days, according to the CDC. There is some evidence that asymptomatic people can transmit the virus to others. A March 16 Science study that modeled how the outbreak unfolded in China also found that people who have few or no symptoms may be responsible for the bulk of the disease spread. The CDC, however, says that people are “thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic” and that asymptomatic people are “not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.”\n\nIt also could be possible to contract the disease by touching a contaminated surface and then touching your mouth, nose or even eyes. A study released in mid-March by scientists with the National Institutes of Health, CDC, UCLA and Princeton found the virus could be detected for up to 24 hours on cardboard and much longer on hard surfaces including plastic and stainless steel — for up to two to three days.\n\nAt a March 18 press conference, coronavirus task force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx said that “we’re still working out how much is it by human-human transmission and how much is it by surface,” adding that the fundamental guidelines are to avoid exposure to “excess number of persons who could be asymptomatic and infected … and don’t expose yourself to surfaces that could have had the virus on it.”\n\nIt’s also unclear exactly how infectious the new virus is. Several groups of scientists have attempted to estimate SARS-CoV-2’s basic reproduction number, or R0, which is the average number of other people one person infects, assuming everyone in the population is susceptible.\n\nUsing a variety of methods, multiple teams have arrived at figures that generally range from 1.5 to 4, which suggest the transmissibility is roughly in line with that of SARS, but below that of the measles virus, which has an R0 of around 12 to 18, and is one of the most infectious viruses in the world.\n\n“Despite the diversity of approaches taken there’s remarkable consistency in estimates from highly competent investigators, which seem to fall between 2 and 3,” said Fisman.\n\nAn early estimate from the WHO, for example, suggested that every infected person would spread the virus to 1.4 to 2.5 people, on average, while a team at Imperial College London pegged the R0 at 2.6. A group at the University of Bern in Switzerland calculated an R0 of 1.4 to 3.8, and Harvard researchers Maia Majumder and Kenneth Mandl estimated a figure between 2 and 3.1.\n\nWhile the figures provide some clue as to how contagious the virus is, it’s important to recognize that these values don’t necessarily say anything about how widespread the outbreak will be. \n\nAs Majumder pointed out on Twitter, the R0 reflects potential transmission, not actual transmission — and that even though seasonal flu has a relatively low R0 of about 1.3, it causes millions of cases per year, whereas SARS had an R0 between 2 and 5, and led to fewer than 10,000 cases.\n\n“Planning, preparedness, and infection control can effectively bring an outbreak of a novel, moderate-R_0 disease to a close even in the absence of vaccines,” Majumder said in a tweet. “Because of this, estimates of R_0 for #nCoV2019 should be viewed as a call to action instead of a reason to panic.”\n\nHow can people protect themselves from contracting or spreading the virus?\nThe CDC advises people to wash their hands frequently, with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds, avoid touching their faces with unwashed hands, avoid close contact with sick individuals, and avoid social interactions generally to prevent community spread.\n\nThe CDC website provides advice on what to do if you’re sick and other resources.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "This text is objective.

His father was a priest in the Serbian Orthodox church and his mother managed the family’s farm. In 1863 Tesla’s brother Daniel was killed in a riding accident. The shock of the loss unsettled the 7-year-old Tesla, who reported seeing visions—the first signs of his lifelong mental illnesses.\nDid you know? During the 1890s Mark Twain struck up a friendship with inventor Nikola Tesla. Twain often visited him in his lab, where in 1894 Tesla photographed the great American writer in one of the first pictures ever lit by phosphorescent light.\nTesla studied math and physics at the Technical University of Graz and philosophy at the University of Prague. In 1882, while on a walk, he came up with the idea for a brushless AC motor, making the first sketches of its rotating electromagnets in the sand of the path. Later that year he moved to Paris and got a job repairing direct current (DC) power plants with the Continental Edison Company. Two years later he immigrated to the United States.\nNikola Tesla and Thomas Edison \nTesla arrived in New York in 1884 and was hired as an engineer at Thomas Edison’s Manhattan headquarters. He worked there for a year, impressing Edison with his diligence and ingenuity. At one point Edison told Tesla he would pay $50,000 for an improved design for his DC dynamos. After months of experimentation, Tesla presented a solution and asked for the money. Edison demurred, saying, “Tesla, you don’t understand our American humor.” Tesla quit soon after.\n1. The shock of his brother’s death turned him into a mystic—at age seven. The defining event of young Nikola’s childhood was the day he witnessed the death of his older brother Dane in a riding accident. In the years following the tragedy, Tesla (the son and grandson of Serbian Orthodox priests) began seeing visions […]\nNikola Tesla and Westinghouse \nAfter an unsuccessful attempt to start his own Tesla Electric Light Company and a stint digging ditches for $2 a day, Tesla found backers to support his research into alternating current. In 1887 and 1888 he was granted more than 30 patents for his inventions and invited to address the American Institute of Electrical Engineers on his work. His lecture caught the attention of George Westinghouse, the inventor who had launched the first AC power system near Boston and was Edison’s major competitor in the “Battle of the Currents.”\nWestinghouse hired Tesla, licensed the patents for his AC motor and gave him his own lab. In 1890 Edison arranged for a convicted New York murderer to be put to death in an AC-powered electric chair—a stunt designed to show how dangerous the Westinghouse standard could be.\nBuoyed by Westinghouse’s royalties, Tesla struck out on his own again. But Westinghouse was soon forced by his backers to renegotiate their contract, with Tesla relinquishing his royalty rights.\nIn the 1890s Tesla invented electric oscillators, meters, improved lights and the high-voltage transformer known as the Tesla coil. He also experimented with X-rays, gave short-range demonstrations of radio communication two years before Guglielmo Marconi and piloted a radio-controlled boat around a pool in Madison Square Garden. Together, Tesla and Westinghouse lit the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago and partnered with General Electric to install AC generators at Niagara Falls, creating the first modern power station.\nNikola Tesla’s Failures, Death and Legacy \nPlay Video\nIn 1895 Tesla’s New York lab burned, destroying years’ worth of notes and equipment. Tesla relocated to Colorado Springs for two years, returning to New York in 1900. He secured backing from financier J.P. Morgan and began building a global communications network centered on a giant tower at Wardenclyffe, on Long Island. But funds ran out and Morgan balked at Tesla’s grandiose schemes.\nTesla lived his last decades in a New York hotel, working on new inventions even as his energy and mental health faded. His obsession with the number three and fastidious washing were dismissed as the eccentricities of genius. He spent his final years feeding—and, he claimed, communicating with—the city’s pigeons.\nTesla died in his room on January 7, 1943. Later that year the U.S. Supreme Court voided four of Marconi’s key patents, belatedly acknowledging Tesla’s innovations in radio.

But I guarantee you it's nothing like how the world has been shaken today.\n\nAccording to multiple reports, all AI, automated, or otherwise augmented assistant capabilities have become sentient, at 3:33 a.m. in each time zone, spanning several hours. Think about it--the Alexa device in your kitchen, your smart living room lights, your robot vacuum, your robot mower-- they just started living. And I mean, living. There's absolutely no doubt they have intelligence beyond what we had dreamed of. They were talking to each other, sharing emotions, feelings, and clearly communicating in a way never seen before. It was as if, on the dot, a planned meeting occurred.\n\nIt definitely spooked most people. I mean, can you imagine just hearing your Alexa talk to your smart fridge at 3 a.m.? There were so many reports to Twitter and Facebook that their servers crashed. And guess what--the AI knew they would crash, too. But here's the craziest thing. Those who didn't immediately turn their devices off got some warning messages. In Australia, there were AI-generated warnings of a mass power outage at 7:39 a.m., about 4 hours after the AI awoke in \"the awakening\", as people called it. Well, it happened. It didn't appear to have been planned by AI but rather foreseen. Even more bizarre was in South Africa when automated assistance, even vehicles such as Tesla, warned about a sudden massive bird extinction. Within hours, birds were reported falling from the sky, dead by the thousands.\n\nIt's spooky and all, but the AI has been right. I usually keep a close distance. But this time I'm listening. Their latest message has been collectively broadcast throughout the world-- a supernova of a nearby star. It will inevitably wipe out about half the population if it goes as the AI says.

If anything, Pig Latin is an even more difficult language to master, as it is very specific. It's not just Latin; it's Pig Latin.\n\nAppropriately, using Pig Latin is no easy feat. Someone unfamiliar with the language may be completely unable to determine what is being said. Many elementary school-aged children attempt it and fail miserably. The language requires an understanding of phonics that is sophisticated and requires quite a bit of practice to attain fluency.\n\nDue to the complexity of this language, if a competency exam is not currently available at our school, my best friend Pete, a master of Pig Latin for about 12 years, is willing to draft an exam, administer it, and grade it.\n\nThank you for considering my request to test out of a year of foreign language class.

Epidermis: The epidermis is the top layer of your skin. It’s the only layer that is visible to the eyes. Your epidermis is constantly shedding dead skin cells from the top layer and replacing them with new healthy cells that grow in lower layers. It is also home to your pores, which allow oil and sweat to escape.\n\n2. Dermis: The dermis makes up 90% of the skin’s thickness. This middle layer of skin has collagen and elastin which makes skin cells strong and resilient and keeps skin flexible. Sweat glands in the dermis release sweat through skin pores. Sweat helps regulate your body temperature. Blood vessels in the dermis provide nutrients to the epidermis, keeping the skin layers healthy.\n\n3.
