Musicians have the option to not only express themselves through their music and album art but now by using the vinyl itself, allowing them to make collectible and limited edition versions of their new albums and re-releases. \n\nEven though the colored vinyl record is nothing new, in the past, it was just seen as a novelty. Record owners at the time agreed that it sounded a lot worse than a typical black vinyl record and many fans of music stayed away from the fad, preferring audio quality over style. These days, however, colored vinyl has made a big comeback with many collectors admitting they haven't noticed a major difference in sound between traditional black and colored vinyl. \n\nInstead of using black carbon in colored vinyl records, these records are created using various dyes that are mixed with PVC as a part of the manufacturing process. It is a process that involves mixing different ingredients and can impact the sound.\n\nExperts have noticed that there are even some colors that will sound better than others. Many audiophiles claim that a translucent record that only has a hint of color will sound good; however, the same may argue that white records do not have a very clean sound. Some may say that pastel or opaque-colored records sound bad in comparison with black vinyl, which would make sense because that would involve mixing with at least two different colors.

He threw a bucket of water on Odin, claiming it was a joke, but Odin did not find it funny. In retaliation, Odin began to tickle Loki mercilessly. Loki, being very ticklish, could not stop laughing and squirming, causing the basket to sway back and forth once more. \nAs they approached Australia, Thor got a sudden craving for meatballs and began to whip up a batch in the tiny balloon basket. He used too many spices, and the flames of the ballon lit the meatballs on fire. The three friends began to frantically try to put out the fire with whatever they could grab, including a bucket of water and Loki's hat. \nBy the time they reached Asia, the balloon was a disaster! Odin was frazzled, Loki was soaked, and Thor was covered in soot and tomato sauce. But despite the chaos, they all agreed that it had been the adventure of a lifetime.

Give Your Students More Choices - Young kids don't get to make very many decisions about what they're doing, for how long and where. This is true both at home and at school. Sometimes it can be fun and exciting for them to have a say in what's going on. When kids can choose an activity, choose where they want to sit in the classroom or pick out a toy to play with, it helps to make their lessons more fun while allowing them to learn decision-making skills. \n2. Incorporate Games with Learning - Games will always make learning more fun and they add instant engagement to any lesson plan. Whether you are reviewing answers for a test or going over memorization drills, games do not require a lot of preparation or expense. There are thousands of tutorials for free games you can play in the classroom online. \n3. Get Moving - Most kids don't like to sit still in the classroom for long periods. Incorporating movement into the classroom can improve engagement dramatically. You can dedicate 10 to 15 minutes at least once or twice a day to short physical activities such as dancing or playing games that will encourage your students to get up and move around. \n4. Incorporate Opportunities for Hands-On Learning - Teachers have relied on hands-on activities inside the classroom for many years and they have always helped improve the morale of their students. Hands-on (or active) learning will put students in control. Unlike traditional lecture-style lessons, these activities encourage students to produce original nights and ideas, which pushes them to deeper thought levels. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "Rewrite this story passage so it's only in first person\n\nIt was just about holy Christmas time that the tree dreamed a dream. The tree had, doubtless, a kind of feeling that the festive time had arrived, and in his dream fancied he heard the bells ringing from all the churches round, and yet it seemed to him to be a beautiful summer’s day, mild and warm. His mighty summits was crowned with spreading fresh green foliage; the sunbeams played among the leaves and branches, and the air was full of fragrance from herb and blossom; painted butterflies chased each other; the summer flies danced around him, as if the world had been created merely for them to dance and be merry in. All that had happened to the tree during every year of his life seemed to pass before him, as in a festive procession. He saw the knights of olden times and noble ladies ride by through the wood on their gallant steeds, with plumes waving in their hats, and falcons on their wrists. The hunting horn sounded, and the dogs barked. He saw hostile warriors, in colored dresses and glittering armor, with spear and halberd, pitching their tents, and anon striking them. The watchfires again blazed, and men sang and slept under the hospitable shelter of the tree. He saw lovers meet in quiet happiness near him in the moonshine, and carve the initials of their names in the grayish-green bark on his trunk. Once, but long years had intervened since then, guitars and Eolian harps had been hung on his boughs by merry travellers; now they seemed to hang there again, and he could hear their marvellous tones. The wood-pigeons cooed as if to explain the feelings of the tree, and the cuckoo called out to tell him how many summer days he had yet to live. Then it seemed as if new life was thrilling through every fibre of root and stem and leaf, rising even to the highest branches. The tree felt itself stretching and spreading out, while through the root beneath the earth ran the warm vigor of life. As he grew higher and still higher, with increased strength, his topmost boughs became broader and fuller; and in proportion to his growth, so was his self-satisfaction increased, and with it arose a joyous longing to grow higher and higher, to reach even to the warm, bright sun itself. Already had his topmost branches pierced the clouds, which floated beneath them like troops of birds of passage, or large white swans; every leaf seemed gifted with sight, as if it possessed eyes to see. The stars became visible in broad daylight, large and sparkling, like clear and gentle eyes. They recalled to the memory the well-known look in the eyes of a child, or in the eyes of lovers who had once met beneath the branches of the old oak. These were wonderful and happy moments for the old tree, full of peace and joy; and yet, amidst all this happiness, the tree felt a yearning, longing desire that all the other trees, bushes, herbs, and flowers beneath him, might be able also to rise higher, as he had done, and to see all this splendor, and experience the same happiness.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "It was during the sacred time of Christmas that I, the tree, had a dream.

", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Merino wool has become quite popular as a clothing material, especially among outdoor enthusiasts. Everything from base layers and socks to outerwear and hats seems to be made from this fabric currently. One of the biggest benefits of merino wool is its ability to help regulate body temperature no matter what the outside weather is like. Essentially, it can help keep a person cool in the summer heat as well as warm in the winter cold. This makes it good for outdoor use all year round. Another interesting advantage to merino wool is that it has antibacterial properties that eliminate odor. This means that if you sweat, or wear the garment multiple times, the smell won't be nearly as bad as it would be with other fabrics. In some cases, there may not be any noticeable smell at all! A third advantage to wearing clothing composed of merino wool is that it can absorb quite a bit of moisture, up to 30% of its weight before it begins to feel wet to your skin. So sweat, humidity in the air, or even drizzly rain won't feel as problematic when wearing merino wool. Merino wool is also naturally resistant to both wrinkles and static. This means that even if it has been tossed carelessly in a bag, or worn in dirty places, it will be likely to come out of the experience looking fresh, whereas other fabrics might not. Finally, because merino wool is a natural fabric, it decomposes quickly and efficiently which is great news for our planet. Unlike synthetic clothing which takes over twenty years to biodegrade, merino fabrics take only about six months. Overall, merino wool has many benefits to consider, and might just be one of the better fabrics to make clothing from.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Born as Anna Mae Bullock in Nutbush, Tenn., she was given her stage name by Ike early in their relationship. At the end, she was so eager to get away from him that she surrendered any claim to record royalties, publishing rights, and anything else, except \"Tina Turner,\" which she told the judge she had worked very hard for. \"That name's got my daddy's blood written all over it,\" Ike protested. But it would be more accurate to say it was written in Tina's own blood.\n\n\"What's Love Got to Do With It\" ranks as one of the most harrowing, uncompromising showbiz biographies I've ever seen. It is a tradition in the genre that performers must go through hard times in order to eventually arrive at fame, but few went through harder times than Tina Turner. The movie shows Ike, jealous of her talent and popularity, turning into a violent wife-beater, and it shows her putting up with a lot more than she should have, for a lot longer.\n\nThe movie begins with a prologue in which little Anna Mae can sing louder than anyone else in the Nutbush church choir. A few years later, in St. Louis, she sees Ike Turner onstage and is intoxicated by his slick charm. Part of his act consists of inviting women from the audience to sing with his band. A few notes, and he shoos them away.\n\nBut when Anna Mae Bullock got up on that stage, she came to stay. And soon, an innocent who hardly understands the world she is entering, she's on tour with Ike and his band.\n\nThe movie stars Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne as Tina and Ike. They played the parents of the hero in \"Boyz N the Hood,\" but here they are in another universe -- Bassett fiery and convincing as Tina; Fishburne, in a powerful performance, able to show us both Ike's charm and his violent side.\n\nThe singing on the movie's sound track is by Tina Turner, but Bassett's performances of the songs are so much in synch - not just lip-synch, but physically, and with personality and soul -- that it always seems as if we're watching Tina at work.\n\nAs the two of them reach the heights of show business, with platinum records and big Vegas bookings and lots of money, their personal life turns into a nightmare. The movie shows Ike strung out on cocaine, flaunting his endless string of girlfriends, and subjecting Tina to verbal and physical abuse. A few friends advise her to walk away. Most of the people around them, intimidated by Ike or grateful for a generous drug supply, are enablers.\n\nThe most harrowing scene in the movie comes one night as Ike beats Tina yet once again, and bleeding and battered she walks out of their hotel and down a highway and into a Ramada Inn, where she says, \"My name is Tina Turner, and my husband and I have had an argument. I have 32 cents in my pocket. If you give me a room I promise you I will pay you back as soon as I can.\" The manager gives her a room.\n\nThe Ramada Inn roadside sign is prominent in the scene because, as Tina wrote in her autobiography, I, Tina, she will forever be grateful to the motel for taking her in.\n\nBut what is amazing is that the scene isn't the end of Tina and Ike's relationship. The movie is unflinching in its willingness to show that Tina, like many battered wives, made excuses for her violent husband and believed his apologies and gave him more chances, long after she should have walked away.\n\nFinally she finds the strength to resist through Buddhist meditation techniques, and there is an unforgettable scene late in the film where she is about to open a big engagement and Ike slips past security and into her dressing room with a gun, and she finds the inner strength to face him down and not cave in, and go onstage like a professional.\n\n\"What's Love Got to Do With It\" has a lot of terrific music in it (including a closing glimpse of the real Tina Turner), but this is not the typical showbiz musical. It's a story of pain and courage, uncommonly honest and unflinching, and the next time I hear Tina Turner singing I will listen to the song in a whole new way.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "As a young girl, Tina Turner, born Anna Mae Bullock, sings louder than anyone else in the Nutbush, Tenn., church choir.\nYears later, Ike Turner plucks her from the audience and invites her to sing with him on stage.\nIke and Tina Turner reach the heights of show business together, but he is an abusive husband.\nTina Turner finds the strength to leave her husband after a violent argument.\nThe film shows how Buddhist meditation techniques eventually helped her find her own strength.\n", "role": "assistant" } ]

Economists have been predicting for months that the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes could push the economy into a recession by making it too expensive to borrow money. If that does happen, the current job market where positions are plentiful—so far a bright spot for workers—could take a turn for the worse, economists said.\n\nTaken together, the day’s data “reinforces the message that recession is on its way and we could in fact already be in it.” said James Knightley, chief U.S. economist at ING, in a commentary. “Companies are going to increasingly adopt defensive strategies so the strong jobs numbers—pretty much the only decent set of numbers right now—cannot continue in this environment,”\n\nInflation is partly responsible for the slowdown. Prices for products and services have rapidly increased since 2021, putting household budgets under pressure. Consumers have tapped into their savings and made purchases on credit cards to maintain their spending habits despite the price increases. But they may not be able to sustain this any longer. \n\nNot only that but household finances have been caught in the crossfire of the Federal Reserve’s war against that very inflation. The central bank has hiked its benchmark interest rate by 4.25 percentage points since March, a move that’s raised costs on consumer borrowing for things like credit cards and car loans.3\n\nNote\nThe federal funds rate heavily influences interest rates throughout the economy, including those on credit cards and car loans, but it’s not the rate you get on those loans. Banks typically charge a set amount above their so-called prime rate. The prime rate moves in tandem with the fed funds rate, but it’s typically about 3 percentage points higher. \n\n“American consumers are tightening their belts in the face of still-high inflation, rising credit costs, and shrinking wealth,” Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, said in a commentary. \n\nBusinesses are tightening their belts too, and have cut production across a broad range of items from cars to computers to clothes, according to the Fed’s data on industrial production—an indication that they are bracing for reduced demand for their goods. \n\n“It is evident that the manufacturing sector is already in recession,” economists at Wells Fargo Securities said in a commentary.\n\nThe Fed’s interest rate hikes and subsequent slowing of the economy appear to have had the intended effect. Inflation has slowed significantly in recent months, according to data on consumer prices. Not only that, but the producer price index, which measures wholesale prices, fell 0.5%, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said—and that could translate into lower prices on store shelves.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Answer: C.

[ { "content": "Can you explain to me how an internal combustion engine works and how have they improved over the years?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Internal combustion engines are found in all sorts of machines ranging from lawnmowers to large freighters that navigate the oceans. These engines run on a large variety of fuels which include the usual gas and diesel, but they can also run on fuels like natural gas, propane, biodiesel, or even ethanol. All these fuels have one thing in common, they are all combustible. The process of combustion, or burning, results in an energy release from a mixture of fuel and air. \n\nAn internal combustion engine contains various components, but for simplicity's sake, let's focus on the fixed cylinder, pistons, crankshaft, powertrain, and ultimately the wheels. In an internal combustion engine, combustion happens within the engine by the ignition from a spark plug where that energy release is partially converted to do work. These expanding combustion gases will push the pistons which will then rotate the crankshaft, and, ultimately through a system of gears within the powertrain, will spin the wheels of the vehicle causing it to move. \n\nSince its creation, the internal combustion engine has been improved upon in several ways. For one, it has been integrated with hybrid electric powertrains to increase fuel economy by sharing the burden of moving the vehicle with the electric engine along with working side-by-side with plug-in hybrid electric systems where the electric motor will move the vehicle on its own up to certain speeds and distances to increase the range. Additionally, through years of R&D, manufacturers can reduce ICE emissions of certain pollutants like nitrogen oxide and particulate matter by more than 99%. Also, ICE performance has been drastically improved over the years in terms of overall horsepower and acceleration time along with using less fuel and increasing efficiency.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Then use your favorite headband or scarf. You can always use Bobby pins to hold slippery scarves in place.\n- Braided headband: Make a headband out of your own locks! This style is similar to a French braid except it’s woven from one temple To the other rather than straight back from the crown of the head.\n- Twisted halo: This style works best with curly or textured hair. Twist locks to weave them into a halo around your head, using Bobby pins to hold the twist in place. You can do this as a full updo or use just the top section of your hair for a half-down version.\n- Ponytail flip: Style your hair in a loose, low ponytail, then pull it into two symmetrical sections, creating a hole just above the elastic. Filter the long end of your ponytail through that hole once or twice to create a twist. This can also be done as a half-down style.\n- Space buns: part your hair into two even sections and secure both as high ponytails on each side of the head.

[ { "content": "According to this article, why do cities like Boston, New York, and San Fransisco have more transit options?\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": "These cities' politicians and voters have funded more transit options by supplementing fare collections with other sources of public income like bridge tolls and sales and property taxes.", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "Rewrite the article into an online course syllabus.\n\nCalculus is a branch of mathematics that involves the study of rates of change. Before calculus was invented, all math was static: It could only help calculate objects that were perfectly still. But the universe is constantly moving and changing. No objects—from the stars in space to subatomic particles or cells in the body—are always at rest. Indeed, just about everything in the universe is constantly moving. Calculus helped to determine how particles, stars, and matter actually move and change in real time.\n\nCalculus is used in a multitude of fields that you wouldn't ordinarily think would make use of its concepts. Among them are physics, engineering, economics, statistics, and medicine. Calculus is also used in such disparate areas as space travel, as well as determining how medications interact with the body, and even how to build safer structures. You'll understand why calculus is useful in so many areas if you know a bit about its history as well as what it is designed to do and measure.\nCalculus was developed in the latter half of the 17th century by two mathematicians, Gottfried Leibniz and Isaac Newton. Newton first developed calculus and applied it directly to the understanding of physical systems. Independently, Leibniz developed the notations used in calculus. Put simply, while basic math uses operations such as plus, minus, times, and division (+, -, x, and ÷), calculus uses operations that employ functions and integrals to calculate rates of change.\n\nThose tools allowed Newton, Leibniz, and other mathematicians who followed to calculate things like the exact slope of a curve at any point. The Story of Mathematics explains the importance of Newton's fundamental theorem of the calculus:\n\n\"Unlike the static geometry of the Greeks, calculus allowed mathematicians and engineers to make sense of the motion and dynamic change in the changing world around us, such as the orbits of planets, the motion of fluids, etc.\"\nUsing calculus, scientists, astronomers, physicists, mathematicians, and chemists could now chart the orbit of the planets and stars, as well as the path of electrons and protons at the atomic level.\n", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Course Title: An Introduction to Calculus: Exploring Dynamic Change in the Universe\n\nCourse Description: Calculus, a branch of mathematics, revolutionized the way we understand and analyze dynamic systems in the universe.

According to a 2021 study conducted by the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, the several post-9/11 wars participated in by the United States in its war against terror have caused the displacement, conservatively calculated, of 38 million people in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Philippines and Pakistan; 11.3 million remain displaced.[55] The study estimated these wars caused the deaths of 897,000 to 929,000 people, including over 364,000 civilians, and cost $8 trillion.[56][57] Critics accuse participating governments of using the \"war on terror\" to repress minorities or sideline domestic opponents,[58][59] of mainstreaming Islamophobia,[60] and have criticized negative impacts to health and the environment resulting from it.[61][62][63] Critics assert that the term \"war\" is not appropriate in this context (much like the term \"war on drugs\") since terror is not an identifiable enemy and it is unlikely that international terrorism can be brought to an end by military means.[64] ", "role": "user" }, { "content": "While many countries, including those that assisted with drone strikes or were involved in drone strikes, supported US action, some critics have alleged that the notion has been used to reduce civil liberties and infringe upon human rights.

Now, scientists may have figured out the reason.\n\nRaising babies can be exhausting—so much so that some mouthbrooding mothers snack on their young, according to a new study.\n\nA central African cichlid fish, Astatotilapia burtoni—commonly called Burton’s mouthbrooder—sometimes consumes more than three-quarters of their own eggs and baby fish.\n\n“It is a surprise,” says Peter Dijkstra, a biologist at Central Michigan University and senior author of a study published today in Biology Letters. “It really is a lot.”\n\nMouthbrooding is common among fish, particularly cichlids, colourful freshwater species that are popular as aquarium pets. After their eggs are fertilised, A. burtoni mothers will shelter them in their mouths for roughly two weeks to protect them from predators. (Read about other long-haul animal mothers.)\n\nAfter the eggs hatch into tiny larval fish, the babies venture outside their mother’s mouth, but scurry back in when there’s danger. It’s a great start for the young fish, but it’s extremely tiring for the mother cichlid, who can’t breathe properly or eat during that period.\n\nThe new study shows, however, that the suffering moms can counter that by consuming some of their young, a behaviour called “filial cannibalism.”", "role": "user" }, { "content": "A biologist called Peter Dijkstra has done a study into a colourful fish called the African cichlid fish.

The babies live in their mum's mouths for two weeks. This is called mouthbrooding.\n\nThe baby fish swim outside their mother’s mouth, but if there is any danger they go back in and hide. It is a great start for the baby fish. However, it is not good for the mothers. It makes the mother fish very tired. In fact, they can't breathe well with the babies in their mouths.
