Both involve a toxic substance, and while the meaning is generally understood regardless of which word is used, there is a key difference between the two:\n\nPoison is a toxin that is harmful if ingested, absorbed through the skin, or inhaled. For example, poisonous mushrooms are harmful when ingested, methane gas is harmful when inhaled, and poison ivy is harmful when absorbed through the skin.\n\nVenom is a toxin that needs a more direct method of reaching the bloodstream, and is delivered by injection. Snakes, for example, use teeth to inject venom, bees use stingers, and urchins use spines.", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "Rewrite this as a list of facts and explanations for a fun science magazine article for young teens.\n\nHow Are Diamonds Formed?\nFrom engagement rings to fine jewelry, diamonds are so common in our everyday lives that it’s not often that we stop to think about where they came from. But the journey that these little gems make, from formation to the jewelry store, is really quite impressive. How is a natural diamond formed? Where are diamonds found? What are diamonds made of? This precious stone poses numerous questions.\n\nSeveral loose diamonds\nIn this article, we’ll explore the main ways diamonds are formed and where diamonds are found. From deep beneath the earth’s surface to a well-regulated lab, you might be surprised by where these dazzling stones are found.\n\nARE DIAMONDS MADE FROM COAL?\nContrary to what you might have learned in science class, diamonds are not made from coal. The old wives’ tale that diamonds were once pieces of coal that have evolved after years under high pressure and temperature is nothing more than a common myth. In fact, diamonds are actually much older than the earth’s plant material, the main ingredient for coal creation.\n\nA rough diamond\nAn additional flaw in this theory is that coal seams are sedimentary rocks that often occur in horizontal layers. So what are diamonds made of? The source rocks of diamonds are found in vertical layers combined with igneous rocks. A natural diamond is made of carbon when carbon atoms bond together under pressure and form the crystals you see in diamonds.\n\nHOW ARE DIAMONDS FORMED?\nSimply put, diamond formation occurs when carbon deposits deep within the earth(approximately 90 to 125 miles below the surface) are subject to high temperature and pressure. Some stones take shape in a matter of days or months, while others take millions of years to materialize. In the case of colored diamonds, the color is caused by trace elements interacting during the diamond’s formation. Additionally, it’s almost impossible to determine a diamond’s exact age, but inclusions of specific minerals help geologists to form an estimate.\n\nThat being said, most natural diamonds date back millions, if not billions of years. And, interestingly enough, diamond growth isn’t always an uninterrupted process. A rough diamond’s formation can be disturbed due to a change in temperature or pressure. The gemstone could then wait for hundreds or even millions of years for conditions to be suitable for growth to continue.\n\nMETHODS OF DIAMOND FORMATION\nThere are four main processes that are believed to be responsible for nearly all diamond deposit sites found near the earth’s surface – diamond formation in the earth’s mantle, diamond formation in a subduction zone, diamond formation at impact sites, and diamond formation in space.\n\nDiamond Formation in the Earth’s Mantle\nGeologists believe that nearly 100% of the diamonds found in diamond mines, and thus used in engagement rings, were formed in the upper mantle and delivered to the earth’s surface by a deep-source volcanic eruption. These volcanic eruptions are credited with creating the kimberlite and lamproite pipes that gemstones are found in.\n\nGeology.com explains these kimberlite pipes and their relation to diamond mining as the following, “Most of these pipes do not contain diamond, or contain such a small amount of diamond that they are not of commercial interest. However, open-pit and underground mines are developed in these pipes when they contain adequate diamonds for profitable mining. Diamonds have also been weathered and eroded from some of these pipes.”\n\nDiamond Formation in Subduction Zones\nThis second method of diamond formation occurs when rocks are pushed into what geologists call “subduction zones” by tectonic plates and then return to the surface with tiny diamonds. Interestingly, the small rough diamonds formed in subduction zones grow just 50 miles below the earth’s crust at temperatures as low as 390 degrees Fahrenheit(yes, that’s low compared to the usual 2,000 degrees).\n\nA diamond mine\nRocks that have journeyed to subduction zones and back are super rare. No known commercial diamonds have been found within them as they are very small and not sold by jewelers. However, an interesting discovery was made as some stones uncovered from subduction zones are believed to contain traces of oceanic crust, appearing as blue diamonds.\n\nDiamond Formation at Impact Sites\nThroughout its history, Earth has been subjected to a hit or two from a few asteroids(just ask the dinosaurs). When an asteroid collides with the earth, it produces intense pressure and temperatures, two qualities that are perfect for creating diamonds. This process can be viewed at several asteroid impact sites around the globe, two of the most popular of which are the Popigai Crater in Siberia, Russia and, the Meteor Crater in Arizona.\n\nDiamond Formation in Space\nLittle green men aren’t the only things floating around in space. NASA researchers have found large amounts of nanodiamonds in some meteorites. Unfortunately, these diamonds are far too small to use for diamond jewelry or industrial abrasives, but they still make for a fun discovery.\nWhat’s more, the Smithsonian found large amounts of tiny diamonds in the Allen Hills meteorite, providing more evidence that space diamonds are indeed a thing.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "How Are Diamonds Formed?\n\nHave you ever asked yourself how diamonds form? They are so common because they are worn with all sorts of jewelry, but most people don't know where they come from. These little gems travel a long way before they reach the jewelry store. So how are they formed?\n\nIn this article, we will look at the main ways diamonds form and the places where we can find them. You will be surprised at all the facts about these sparkly stones. Here is a list of more information about diamonds:\n\n1. Diamonds are not made from coal. Some may say diamonds form from coal, but that is a myth. Diamonds are much older than the plants that were the main ingredient for coal.\n\n2. Coal seams are rocks in horizontal layers, but diamonds are in vertical layers.\n\n3. The source of diamonds is carbon. When carbon atoms bond under pressure, they form crystals; crystals are what you see when you look at a sparkly diamond.\n\n4. Diamond formation happens very deep under the surface of the planet Earth. This formation occurs 90 - 125 miles deep. Some are made quickly, in days or months, but most others take millions of years to form.\n\n5. There are colored diamonds; that color is the elements that were present during the formation of the diamond.\n\n6. In its present condition, it is impossible to determine the exact age of a diamond, but geologists who study specific minerals can estimate approximately how old they are.\n\n7. A rough diamond formation can be paused if the temperature or pressure changes. It can take a break for hundreds or even millions of years before it continues to form.\n\n8. Four main processes are responsible for most diamonds in the world: diamond formation in planet Earth's mantle, diamond formation in a subduction zone, diamond formation at impact sites, and diamond formation in space.\n\n9. The vast majority of diamonds formed in diamond mines are found in the upper mantle and come to the surface with the help of volcanic eruptions.\n\n10. Open-pit and underground mines contain enough diamonds for profitable mining.\n\n11. When rocks are moved into the subduction zones by tectonic plates, they can return to the surface with diamonds. In these subduction zones, diamonds grow only 50 miles deep at temperatures as low as 390 degrees. That's cold compared to the 2,000 degrees it usually takes!\n\n12. Rocks that have traveled to subduction zones and back are very small and not interesting for commercial use, but some stones came from that zone as blue diamonds.\n\n13. Throughout history, Earth has been impacted by a few asteroids. These asteroids created a lot of pressure and very high temperatures. These conditions are excellent for diamond formation. For this reason, diamond retrieval at asteroid impact sites is not uncommon. Diamonds are in impact sites such as the Popigai Crater in Siberia and the Meteor Crater in Arizona.\n\n14. NASA researchers have found large amounts of tiny diamonds in some meteorites. Unfortunately, these diamonds are so tiny that they are too small for the jewelry industry.\n\nSo there you have it; this is how diamonds form and appear on the Earth's surface.", "role": "assistant" } ]

If you can't fall asleep in 20 minutes from the time you go to bed, try getting up and doing something relaxing, then try again.\n\n2. Watch what you eat and drink - Don't have heavy or large meals within a couple of hours of going to bed, and don't go to bed either hungry or stuffed with food. Also, nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol can all affect sleep, so keep an eye on those.\n\n3. Make your environment restful - Try not to be exposed to light in the evening, especially right before bedtime. Keep the room where you sleep cool, dark, and quiet. Consider a fan for white noise, or earplugs. Doing calming activities right before bedtime, like taking a warm bath, can also help.\n\n4. Be careful with daytime naps - If you do find you need to nap during the day, try to limit the naps to no longer than an hour, and try not to have naps late in the day. If you work at night, try taking a nap late in the day before work to make up for some sleep.\n\n5. Add physical activity to your daily routine - Avoid being active too close to bedtime, but making sure you get regular physical activity can help promote good sleep. Also, spending time outside is helpful.\n\n6. Deal with your worries - If you have things on your mind that you're worried about and can't resolve them before bedtime, try writing them down and setting them aside until the next day.

Leucine can be found in protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, and beans, but supplementing with it can help enhance muscle protein synthesis and promote muscle recovery.\n\n2. Creatine: Creatine is widely considered the most effective muscle-building supplement. It’s a compound produced naturally in the body that helps produce ATP – the primary source of energy for muscle cells. In short, it can boost power and strength after your workouts, which would allow you to lift heavier weights and perform more reps afterward, ultimately leading to increased muscle mass.\n\n3. Beta-alanine: It’s a non-essential amino acid, but it contributes to the production of carnosine, which acts as a buffer to prevent acid buildup in the muscles after your exercise. That, in turn, delays muscle fatigue and can improve future workout performance, particularly after high-intensity exercises such as weightlifting or sprinting.\n\n4. Spirulina: Spirulina is a nutrient-dense blue-green alga that is rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, making it a popular supplement among athletes and fitness enthusiasts. It has also been shown to reduce inflammation in the body and enhance endurance. It would make a valuable addition to your post-workout regimen.\n\nIncorporating these supplements into your post-workout fitness routine can optimize muscle growth and recovery, improve workout performance, and enhance overall health and well-being.", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "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" } ]

[ { "content": "Classify this essay sample as informative, persuasive, or argumentative and explain why:\n\nProponents of this idea state that it will save local cities and towns money because libraries are expensive to maintain. They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they won’t have to travel to a library to get a book; they can simply click on what they want to read and read it from wherever they are. They could also access more materials because libraries won’t have to buy physical copies of books; they can simply rent out as many digital copies as they need.\n\nHowever, it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with tablets. First, digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems than print resources. A study done on tablet vs book reading found that people read 20-30% slower on tablets, retain 20% less information, and understand 10% less of what they read compared to people who read the same information in print. Additionally, staring too long at a screen has been shown to cause numerous health problems, including blurred vision, dizziness, dry eyes, headaches, and eye strain, at much higher instances than reading print does. People who use tablets and mobile devices excessively also have a higher incidence of more serious health issues such as fibromyalgia, shoulder and back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and muscle strain. I know that whenever I read from my e-reader for too long, my eyes begin to feel tired and my neck hurts.

It's great that you want to make a healthy change. Seeking help from a professional is one of the best ways to process and manage your anger, but if that isn't an option for you right now, here are a few other suggestions:\n- Reframe your anger: Instead of having an outburst or turning your anger inwards, have a constructive conversation with someone about how you feel. You might not need to speak to the person that triggered your anger in order to process it; talking to someone else can also be helpful, so long as you are working towards a constructive outcome rather than ruminating on your frustration. \n- Recognize your triggers to find better solutions: If you know that you get really worked up waiting in long lines, try to beat the crowds and run errands early, avoiding peak business hours. Or, if you have a co-worker who usually gets on your nerves, develop some strategies to minimize contact with them throughout the work day. Look for patterns in your anger and take a pragmatic approach to securing peace of mind. \n- Distract yourself: If something happens that triggers your anger, look for a change of scenery. Go for a walk, open a new tab in your browser, or put on a favorite song while tackling chores in a different room in your home. Sometimes taking your mind off of things can help you recover more quickly.", "role": "assistant" } ]

What else can I use to give her medicine?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Here are some ways to pill your dog that don't involve peanut butter: \n\n* Wet Food - If you have canned wet dog food, you can hide a pill in a tablespoon of it and feed it to your dog. \n* Semi-soft Cheese - Dogs love cheese, and its texture is great for hiding pills. Just be careful not to use cheese with added herbs or other ingredients, especially garlic, onion, or raisin, as these are toxic to dogs. Cheese is also quite fatty so take care to use it in moderation for the sake of your dog’s long-term health.\n* Pumpkin Purée - Pumpkin puree is sweet and soft, a perfect alternative to peanut butter for pilling dogs. It’s also great for your dog’s health, packed with fiber and nutrients. Be careful to get plain pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling, though. \n* Hot Dog Chunks - Hot or cold slices of hot dog are a great place to hide pills. Your dog is sure to gobble these up without hesitation. \n* Scrambled Egg - It wouldn’t be terribly convenient to have to whip up a pan of scrambled eggs each time your dog needs to take a pill, but you could keep a batch of pre-made egg patties in your fridge or freezer for these occasions. Just pour the scrambled egg mixture into a lined cupcake pan, using a small amount for each patty, and bake in the oven. Again, be sure not to add any spices or ingredients that may be unsafe for your dog. \n* Greenies Pill Pockets - These are hollow dog treats made especially for pilling dogs.", "role": "assistant" } ]

The slowest vibration you can hear is 20 vibrations per second which is a low pitch sound, and the fastest you can hear is 20,000 vibrations per second which is a high pitch sound. The number of vibrations per second is what we call the object's frequency which is measured in Hertz.\n\nThe pitch of a sound depends on the vibrating object's weight. The more mass, the slower it vibrates, which means a lower pitch, and the less mass, the faster it vibrates, which means a higher pitch. Yet an adjustment of the object's mass, such as filling it with water, or an adjustment of the object's tension, such as tightening the string of a musical instrument, can change the pitch.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Arizona was the last state to recognize the holiday, and it was a challenging journey to get there.\n\nThe first attempt to create a Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday in Arizona was made in 1971. The bill was introduced by Senator Cloves Campbell Sr., but it failed to pass the legislature.\n\nIn 1975, another bill was introduced to create a holiday honoring King, but it also failed to pass.\n\nIt wasn't until 1986 that Arizona finally had a Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday. Governor Bruce Babbitt declared the third Monday of January a state holiday honoring King, but the legislature repealed the law the following year.\n\nIn 1987, Governor Evan Mecham rescinded Babbitt's executive order, making Arizona the only state that did not recognize the holiday.\n\nThe decision was met with protests and boycotts. The NFL threatened to move the 1993 Super Bowl out of Phoenix if the state did not create a holiday honoring King.\n\nIn 1992, voters approved a referendum creating a Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday in Arizona. The holiday is now celebrated on the third Monday of January, and it is a day to honor the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.\n\nThe long and winding road to Martin Luther King Jr. Day in Arizona is a reminder of the challenges that still exist in our society. However, it is also a reminder of the progress that we have made.
