(Photo by Thomas Trutschel/Photothek via Getty Images)\nImage Credits: Thomas Trutschel / Getty Images\nCloud storage giant Dropbox today joined the fray of tech companies announcing layoffs. The company today announced that it would be laying off 16% of its staff, equivalent to about 500 employees, due to slowing growth, and — in the words of CEO Drew Houston — because “the AI era of computing has finally arrived.”\n\nThese appear to be the first layoffs the company has made since January 2021, when it laid off 315 employees in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\nThe latest cull was announced to staff in a memo from CEO and co-founder Drew Houston, as well as in an SEC filing.\n\n\nThe SEC filing noted that the company will incur charges of approximately $37 million to $42 million in connection with layoffs, which will be recorded in Q2. Q1 results, which will be reported next Thursday, May 4, will be in-line or even above expectations, it added.\n\nIronically, even with the strong results, and the fact that Dropbox is profitable, Houston said the company is choosing to take a preemptive step to cut jobs and invest in new areas to keep up with the pace of change, given that growth is slowing.\n\n“While our business is profitable, our growth has been slowing. Part of this is due to the natural maturation of our existing businesses, but more recently, headwinds from the economic downturn have put pressure on our customers and, in turn, on our business. As a result, some investments that used to deliver positive returns are no longer sustainable,” he wrote.\n\nThe interesting thing is that he also cites AI as a major factor.\n\n\n“Second, and more consequentially, the AI era of computing has finally arrived,” he continued. “We’ve believed for many years that AI will give us new superpowers and completely transform knowledge work. And we’ve been building towards this future for a long time, as this year’s product pipeline will demonstrate.”\n\n\nFor those who have been warning that AI will inevitably lead to the loss of more jobs, this will come as an alarming development. The more cynical might argue that it’s an easy and timely excuse for cutting costs right now, to keep the market and investors optimistic that Dropbox is changing with the times and itself won’t get disrupted in the next wave of innovation.\n\nHouston said that impacted staff will be getting notified today and will be finished with work by tomorrow. The company had 3,125 employees prior to the move today.\n\nMore than 184,000 people have been laid off in the tech sector in 2023 across nearly 620 tech companies, according to the Layoffs.fyi tracker.\n\nMore to come.\n\n----\n\n\n", "role": "user" }, { "content": "500, 16%, 315, 19, 37, 42, 2, 1, 3125, 184000, 620", "role": "assistant" } ]

He took everything out of the house, refused to go to bars, and avoided liquor stores at all costs. For the first few days, it worked. He didn’t drink anything because nothing was available. But then, just one Saturday later, he was at a work event where there was an open bar, and he caved and had a drink. And then several more. \n\nThe second alcoholic, Sue, tried a different path. She decided that she would read a book about quitting addictions. The book came highly recommended, and apparently, after reading the book, she wouldn’t even want to pick up a drink. Unfortunately, the book didn’t work at all. She drank the whole time she was reading it. \n\nThe third alcoholic, Luis, chose to join a local Alcoholics Anonymous chapter. He started going to meetings several times a week and even got a sponsor who he could call night and day when he was tempted to drink. To Luis’s surprise, it was actually working. Although he still wanted a drink, he didn’t do it because of his incredible support system. \n\nWhen the three met up again, Luis told them what he had found at AA after they reported their failed tactics.

Yowie – also known as Sasquatch, Skunk Ape, Bigfoot, and Yeti (depending on where you go to hear about sightings). \nThis large, hairy, humanoid creature has many names, and many cryptozoologists believe that there are hundreds of these creatures across the world because of the numerous locations of supposed sightings. Grainy photographs have captured massive footprints and what could be eyes in the wilderness, while other pictures show human-like figures, covered in hair, from very far away. \nThe first-ever reported sighting of Bigfoot was in 1811 in Alberta, Canada, but Native Americans have talked of similar creatures in their stories and folklore for centuries. \n\n3. The Jersey Devil. \nThe folklore of The Jersey Devil spawns from a story about Mother Leeds, a New Jersey woman with twelve children. She discovered that she was pregnant with her thirteenth child and, in a fit of rage, cursed her pregnancy, offering the child to whoever listened. When the baby was born, it sprouted the features of a goat, horse, and bat all at once, then flew off into the trees. \nSome of The Jersey Devil's legend has been proven as fact. There was a Mother Leeds, and she left a written will to 12 children, but there’s never been documented evidence of the thirteenth child. There have been over 1,000 sightings of The Jersey Devil up until 2016, and the cryptid is often blamed for any bad luck that New Jersey farmers have with livestock and crops. \n\n4. Champ (or Champy) \nSea serpents have been the subject of cryptozoological sightings for centuries, but Champ is one of the most famous in Vermont, New York, and parts of Canada where Lake Champlain extends for 125 miles. There have been 300 sightings since 1609, but the most notable was a report in 1970 that described the creature as “a twenty-foot-long serpent, thick as a barrel, with a head like a horse.” ", "role": "assistant" } ]

However, she has a creepy feeling that she is being stalked by someone or something, and although the audience does not see what it is for most of the film, we can tell it's getting closer due to the sounds and movements of objects, etc. Finally, when the woman feels that she is about to uncover the antagonist (as the clues have led her to an abandoned cabin in the woods), she finally discovers that she is being watched by carnivorous albino deer who also killed her friend (and many others from the town) by kidnapping them, gutting them with their antlers, and eating them. She is unable to save herself, and the deer consume her completely, thereby continuing to keep everyone else in danger, including her boyfriend, who (in the last frame) is seen heading to the same town to find her.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Emperor Scorpions: These arachnids look pretty intimidating, but they make excellent pets for small living spaces and can live in a small, ten-gallon tank. They are nocturnal and only need a substrate to burrow in and a water dish. \n\n2. Frogs and Toads: Amphibians are quirky and fascinating creatures that would fit anywhere in your house. Some popular species include the Pacman frog, fire-bellied toad, and tree frog. They require a 10–20-gallon terrestrial-style tank with a substrate, plants, and a small water source.\n\n3. Giant Millipedes: Size matters here – these gentle giants are easy to care for and only need a small aquarium with a substrate. Their legs tickle when they crawl on your hands! Pass this one if that’s creepy for you. You should also see if it’s permitted in the area where you live.\n\n4. Pocket-Sized Hamsters: These furry little critters are great companions for cozy apartments! They require minimal space and are great at keeping themselves entertained. They're nocturnal, so they won't keep you up with their antics.\n\n5. The Shell Hermit: These little guys are low-maintenance and super fun to watch. They love to crawl around and hide in their shells. Just make sure to give them plenty of shells to choose from and a shallow water dish.\n\n6. Creepy Crawlies: Hissing cockroaches are exactly what they sound like, but they’re still good pets. They're clean, quiet, and don't require much attention. They hiss when they're scared, which can be a real conversation starter if you think about it.\n\n7. Eight-Legged Friends: If you’re thinking unique, a tarantula might be right up your alley. They're surprisingly low-maintenance and can live for years. Give them plenty of space and a cozy hideout. They're typically docile and won't attack humans.\n\nLet us know which one you like the best. Just remember to research your local laws and regulations before bringing home your new pet.

A Harvard-educated lawyer, he early became identified with the patriot cause; a delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses, he led in the movement for independence.\n\nDuring the Revolutionary War he served in France and Holland in diplomatic roles, and helped negotiate the treaty of peace. From 1785 to 1788 he was minister to the Court of St. James’s, returning to be elected Vice President under George Washington. Adams’ two terms as Vice President were frustrating experiences for a man of his vigor, intellect, and vanity. He complained to his wife Abigail, “My country has in its wisdom contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.”\n\nWhen Adams became President, the war between the French and British was causing great difficulties for the United States on the high seas and intense partisanship among contending factions within the Nation.\nHis administration focused on France, where the Directory, the ruling group, had refused to receive the American envoy and had suspended commercial relations. Adams sent three commissioners to France, but in the spring of 1798 word arrived that the French Foreign Minister Talleyrand and the Directory had refused to negotiate with them unless they would first pay a substantial bribe. Adams reported the insult to Congress, and the Senate printed the correspondence, in which the Frenchmen were referred to only as “X, Y, and Z.” The Nation broke out into what Jefferson called “the X. Y. Z. fever,” increased in intensity by Adams’s exhortations. The populace cheered itself hoarse wherever the President appeared. Never had the Federalists been so popular.\n\nCongress appropriated money to complete three new frigates and to build additional ships, and authorized the raising of a provisional army. It also passed the Alien and Sedition Acts, intended to frighten foreign agents out of the country and to stifle the attacks of Republican editors. President Adams did not call for a declaration of war, but hostilities began at sea. At first, American shipping was almost defenseless against French privateers, but by 1800 armed merchantmen and U.S. warships were clearing the sea-lanes. Despite several brilliant naval victories, war fever subsided. Word came to Adams that France also had no stomach for war and would receive an envoy with respect. Long negotiations ended the quasi war. Sending a peace mission to France brought the full fury of the Hamiltonians against Adams. In the campaign of 1800 the Republicans were united and effective, the Federalists badly divided. Nevertheless, Adams polled only a few less electoral votes than Jefferson, who became President.\n\nOn November 1, 1800, just before the election, Adams arrived in the new Capital City to take up his residence in the White House. On his second evening in its damp, unfinished rooms, he wrote his wife, “Before I end my letter, I pray Heaven to bestow the best of Blessings on this House and all that shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but honest and wise Men ever rule under this roof.” Adams retired to his farm in Quincy. Here he penned his elaborate letters to Thomas Jefferson. Here on July 4, 1826, he whispered his last words: “Thomas Jefferson survives.” But Jefferson had died at Monticello a few hours earlier.\n", "role": "user" }, { "content": "John Adams (1735-1826) was born in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, educated in law at Harvard University and is one of the earliest to be identified with the cause of independence.

As such, he negotiated the treaty of peace with Britain. Elected George Washington’s Vice President, he found the office to be “the most insignificant … ever” invented. \n\nAdams took office in 1797 and spent most of his presidency tackling conflicts with France. In 1880, just prior to losing the presidential election to Thomas Jefferson, Adams and his wife moved into the White House, writing the wish that “none but honest and wise Men ever rule under this roof.” In 1801, he retired to his farm in Quincy, Massachusetts where he often wrote to Thomas Jefferson.

The target audience is people who are writing fiction novels rather than shorter projects or nonfiction works.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Sure, I can help with that. Here are some things to do when you're struggling with writer's block:\n\n1. Take a walk. Sometimes, getting your blood flowing and your heart pumping can serve to awaken new creative impulses in the brain. Bring a smartphone or notepad on your walk so you can jot down any ideas that come to mind while you're on the go. You may find it helpful to listen to music as you walk or do some pointed people-watching for inspiration.\n2. Re-read your work. Sometimes, writer's block can be a symptom of feeling exhausted and discouraged. Writing a novel is a long and difficult undertaking, so while you're in the messy middle and yet to reap any of the rewards that come with a finished product, you may need to go back and re-read some of your earlier work to remind yourself how far you've come, feel proud of your progress, and get a better feel for the established pacing of your story. \n3. Focus on outlines and planning. Writer's block isn't always a sign of creative burnout. Sometimes it's difficult to write what comes next because you don't really know where your story is going. You can use your time to focus on making a detailed outline that functions as a map, telling you exactly where to go next in your book. Alternatively, you could focus on drafting character or place names, fleshing out character profiles, solidifying worldbuilding elements, or any other practical logistics that need to be in place to make the world of your story feel real to readers. \n4. Read a book by another author. There are two strategies you could take here. First, you could opt to read something by an author whose work inspires you to grow as an author, perhaps an author who does an exemplary job with some of your favorite aspects of fiction writing. On the flip side, though, great authors can sometimes serve to intimidate or discourage authors who are working on rough drafts, so you might prefer instead of pick up a book that is noticeably flawed. Reading a \"bad\" book can sometimes inspire writers by giving them confidence in their own abilities and demonstrating that perfectionism is not necessarily the key to getting published. \n5. Talk to other writers. Writer's block happens to the best of us, and sometimes it can be helpful just to voice your concerns and frustrations out loud to someone who understands what you're struggling with. Other writers may also have suggestions that can help get you unstuck in your creative process. \n6. Skip ahead to an exciting scene. If you're feeling stuck where you are, then go ahead and skip ahead to an upcoming scene that you're more excited about writing. Often, doing so will help to make it easier to fill in the blanks between what you've already written and the future scene you're excited about because when the future scene is fully fleshed out, it will be easier to determine what needs to happen in the plot to connect point A to point B. \n7. Focus on editing. Sometimes it's hard to know where your story is going next because the earlier plot points you've written have backed you into a corner. Or, alternatively, maybe the parts of the story you've already written have left you with too many options for paths leading forward, an overabundance of Chekhov's guns and red herrings, too many characters, or an overly complicated story arc. It may be helpful to backtrack and edit the beginning of the story so that you can see a simpler trail leading from beginning to end.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Wild rabbits don't have this problem and make their homes in various temperature extremes. Wild rabbits can be found in woods, forests, meadows, grasslands, deserts, tundra and wetlands. \n\nWild rabbits create their own homes by tunneling into the ground. These tunnel systems are called warrens and include rooms for nesting and sleeping. They also have multiple entrances for quick escape. Warrens can be as deep as 9.84 feet (3 meters) underground, according to the Textbook of Rabbit Medicine. \n\nRabbits are very social creatures and live in large groups called colonies. The busiest time of day for rabbits is at dusk and dawn, according to the Proceedings of the 8th World Rabbit Congress. This is when they venture out to find food. The low light allows them to hide from predators. \n\nPredators — which include owls, hawks, eagles, falcons, wild dogs, feral cats and ground squirrels — are a constant threat. The rabbit’s long legs and ability to run for long periods at high speeds are likely evolutionary adaptations to help them elude things that want to eat them.\n\n", "role": "user" }, { "content": "1.

We loved exploring its dusty corners and climbing the apple tree in the backyard. But our favorite thing was the ghost. We called her Mother, because she seemed so kind and nurturing. Some mornings Betsy and I would wake up, and on each of our nightstands, we’d find a cup that hadn’t been there the night before. Mother had left them there, worried that we’d get thirsty during the night. She just wanted to take care of us. Among the homes’ original furnishings was an antique wooden chair which we kept against the back wall of the living room. Whenever we were preoccupied, watching TV or playing a game, Mother would inch that chair forward, across the room, toward us. Sometimes she’d manage to move it all the way to the centre of the room. We always felt sad putting it back against the wall. Mother just wanted to be near us. Years later, long after we’d moved out, I found an old newspaper article about the farmhouse’s original occupant, a widow. She’d murdered her two children by giving them each a cup of poisoned milk before bed. Then she hung herself. The article included a photo of the farmhouse’s living room, with a woman’s body hanging from a beam. Beneath her, knocked over, was that old wooden chair, placed exactly in the center of the room.”\n\nUse some examples from the text to show how you concluded that it is or isn't a scary story.

They watch tv and see her inching her chair towards them sometimes even making it to the middle of the room. They see it as her just wanting to be close to them. Years later, after moving out they realize that the cups on the nightstands were the poisoned milk that the widow gave her children before hanging herself in the living room. The chair that was moved to the middle of the room was the same chair she used to hang herself.
