There have been arguments in the United States about cornrows, dreadlocks, and other hairstyles. Some employers and schools say they are not good and made rules against wearing them. Employees and civil rights groups said that this meant the employers had cultural bias, meaning that they were prejudiced against the cultures that cornrows come from, mostly American black culture. There have been lawsuits.
In 2011, the High Court of the United Kingdom, saw a test case. The Court said a school's decision stop students with cornrows from entering the school was wrong. The court ruled said the student wearing cornrows could keep wearing them because it was his cultural tradition. The court said that it was sometimes all right for schools to make rules against hairstyles. For example, they said schools could forbid skinhead gangs' shaved heads.
In the US state of California, the CROWN Act was passed in 2019. It said that discrimination based on hair was against the law. Other states have passed CROWN acts too.
Los Angeles Metro Rail
The Los Angeles Metro Rail is an urban transit system in Los Angeles County, California operated by LACMTA or the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The system has a total of six lines, with four being light rail (A, C, E, K) and two being rapid transit (B and D). The Los Angeles Metro Rail has 101 stations and connects to the Metro Busway (G & J), Metrolink, Amtrak, and other transit services.
The A Line, the oldest line in the system, runs between Azusa and Long Beach. More system expansions are currently under construction such as the D Line Extension to West Los Angeles.
As of 2023, Metro's light rail system is the second busiest in the United States and its rapid transit system is the ninth busiest.
The Los Angeles Metro Rail has a total number of 101 stations serving six lines. The lines used to be named by colors, but are now identified by letters since 2020. Metro also uses the same line letter naming system for its Metro Busway services. Below is the list of the rail lines and how many stations each go to:
Los Angeles Metro Rail has 101 stations. The light rail stations are mostly above ground, but some are underground. Rapid transit stations (B and D Lines) are all underground. Each station has ticket vending machines, maps, electronic displays, and artwork reflecting the local culture. The underground stations generally are larger and have two levels. The top level is where you can buy tickets (see Fares section for more information) and the bottom level is where passengers can board trains. All stations have elevators and ramps so people with wheelchairs can enter.
To travel on Metro, passengers need a special card called Transit Access Pass (TAP), which they can get from machines at every Metro Rail and Busway station. There are fare inspectors who check if passengers have the card. If you have a TAP card, you can switch between Metro routes for free within 2 hours of your first ride.
Starting from July 2023, Metro has made it easier for people to pay for their trips using a TAP card. They have replaced their 1-Day, 7-Day, and 30-Day passes with something called fare capping. This means that passengers will never have to pay more than $5 (for up to 3 rides) in a day or $18 (for up to 11 rides) within seven days. To benefit from fare capping, you need to use the same TAP card every time you ride. Once you reach the 1-day or 7-day fare cap, you can travel for free. Fares for students, seniors, disabled, or low-income people are even cheaper. The graph below shows the different fare types and their prices.
The Los Angeles Metro Rail system has officials from the Sheriff's Department watching around half of its trains and stations. The Los Angeles Police Department and Long Beach Police Department are also responsible for stations within their respective cities. Additionally, security keeps an eye on the system through closed-circuit television cameras.
Before the Los Angeles Metro Rail, the Pacific Electric Railway and Los Angeles Railway served passengers of Los Angeles County from 1901 to 1961. However, in 1927, the two systems started replacing their rail lines with buses because more people in the county were buying cars and using them for transportation. In 1958, the systems were taken over by a government agency known as the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority or MTA. By 1963, all rail lines were completely removed and replaced with bus services.
However, in the 1970s, people started calling for the return of rail transit because there was too much traffic on the county's freeways and roads. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) began building the initial lines throughout the county. In 1980, Proposition A was passed to fund the construction of transit lines. The Blue Line (now the A Line), the first light rail transit line in Los Angeles constructed since Proposition A, opened on July 14, 1990. It originally ran from Long Beach to Downtown Los Angeles at 7th Street/Metro Center station. From its start, the line was very popular requiring Metro to add more capacity to the line in the early 2000s.
After that, Los Angeles's first rapid transit lines (B and D) were opened in January 1993. The light rail system continued to expand with the C Line in 1995, the L Line in 2003 (now part of the A and E Lines), the E Line in 2012, and the newest line, the K Line, opened in 2022.

Hyper-threading
Hyperthreading is a technology that allows a single physical processor to behave like multiple processors. Essentially, it creates virtual cores that share the workload of a single physical core, allowing multiple tasks to be performed simultaneously. This can improve the performance of a computer by increasing its ability to handle multiple tasks at the same time. Think of it like a chef who has two virtual assistants to help prepare meals at the same time, even though there's only one physical chef.

Health in the United Kingdom
Health in the United Kingdom as measured by life expectancy got better from 1841 until 2018. The number of babies dying has gone down because of better food, clean water and drains and more recently because of improvements in midwifery and hospital care. The number of people living with a disability has been going up. It has become more difficult for people to get medical help, especially for poorer and disadvantaged people.
In 2023 life expectancy was 81, less than most comparable rich companies. This was blamed on the poor state of the health service, particularly the shortage of clinical staff. Men in Knightsbridge, a very wealthy part of London, lived on average 94.1 years - the highest in the country - nearly 15 years longer than the average man. In South Promenade in Blackpool men lived on average 66.6 years.
The Public Health Act 1875 was very important and it was followed by more public health laws.
The biggest health problems now are to do with obesity. Smoking in the UK has been reduced from 45% in 1974 to 16.9% in 2015.

Ricci flow
The Ricci flow ( , ) is a partial differential equation used in differential geometry and geometric analysis. It is like the heat equation, which is used to study diffusion of heat. The Ricci flow is named for the Ricci tensor, which is part of its definition.
Heat equation
The heat equation is a type of equation used in mathematics and physics to describe how heat spreads out in a particular area. The equation was first created by Joseph Fourier in 1822. People use the heat equation to model how heat spreads through different materials.
The heat equation is very important in the field of mathematics, and it is studied a lot. This equation is used in many areas of science and applied mathematics, such as probability theory and image analysis. Some solutions to the heat equation are called heat kernels, and they can provide important information about the area where the heat is spreading.
Scientists have found many different ways to use the heat equation. For example, it can be used to study random walks and Brownian motion in probability theory, and it can help to resolve pixelation in image analysis. In addition, variants of the heat equation are used in financial mathematics and quantum mechanics. Scientists have also found that solutions of the heat equation are helpful in understanding hydrodynamical shocks. People have been studying the heat equation for a long time, and it is a very important topic in mathematics and physics.
