With telegraphy (from the Greek words "tele (τηλε)" = far and "graphein (γραφειν)" = write), messages are sent over long distances without any need to physically transport letters. To send messages, a telegraph sends pulses of electricity through wires in a special code. The code includes short and large dots and dashes. Usually, amateur radio operators use Morse code.  History. The first telegraphs. Some of the first telegraphs were made in the late 1700s, but these were hard to use because they had too many wires.  Telegrams first became popular in the mid-1800s. In 1844 Samuel Morse built a single-wire telegraph line from Baltimore to Washington, D.C.. This was much easier to use than the earliest telegraphs, which used many wires. Soon there were telegraphs all over the United States. By the end of the nineteenth century, a transatlantic telegraph cable and other developments linked the world by the end of the century. Radio telegraphy became widespread in the early 20th century, especially on ships. After the 1930s, long-distance telephone calls became less expensive than telegrams. Telegrams became less and less popular. Western Union, an American company created for telegrams, sent its last one in 2006. Telegrams. "See the main article: Telegram" In the mid-1800s, people communicated across long distances by writing letters. However, letters could take a long time to cross the country. Telegrams were much more convenient than letters because they could be delivered to faraway places immediately. This made it much easier for people to communicate and to move to the Western United States.  To send a telegram, a person would give their message to a telegraph operator, who would send the message to another operator message using Morse code. The second operator would write down the message and give it to the person who received it. Telegraphs now. Telegrams have become rare. This is because of newer technology that people can use to communicate, such as the telephone and the Internet. However, Morse code is still popular among amateur radio enthusiasts.

Gout is a very painful medical condition. It is a red, tender, hot, swollen joint. When gout is happening somewhere it is called an attack. The attacks affect the joint at the base of the big toe about half the time, but it can happen in any joint. Pain caused by gout may be hot, tinging, radiating (pain close to the joint because of gout) and sudden. It is caused by crystals of uric acid and sodium salt,  called monosodium urate crystals. These are found in the blood and cause gout when the body puts them in fluid in joints. This happens when the level of uric acid in the blood is too high. The crystals stay in the joints, tendons, and surrounding tissues and cause pain. Joints are lubricated and protect the bones better when there are no crystals.  Inflammatory arthritis happens in about 50% of all cases of gout. The disease may also appear as kidney disease due to urate crystals. People with gout often have more than one attack of gout. Gout has become more common. It affects approximately one to two percent of people in the West during their lifetimes. Risk factors have been increasing and may be causing the increase in gout. Diet as well as the changes in diet, Metabolic syndrome, and longer life expectancy, are the most common risk factors. Gout was historically known as “the disease of kings” or “the disease of rich men". Signs and symptoms. Gout can present in a number of ways, although the most common is a recurrent (keeps happening) attack of intense inflammatory arthritis (a red, tender, hot, swollen joint). Joint pain usually begins over 2–4 hours and during the night. Symptoms occur at night because of the lower body temperature at this time. High levels of uric acid in the blood over a long period of time (hyperuricemia) may cause other symptoms such as hard, painless deposits of uric acid crystals known as tophi. Extensive tophi may lead to long-term, chronic arthritis due to bone erosion. High levels of uric acid in the blood may also
Bright's disease is a historical classification of kidney diseases that are now called acute or chronic nephritis.

The sperm whale ("Physeter catodon"), also known as the cachalot, is the largest toothed whale. It has the biggest head of any animal. The head can be about long, and is about one-third of the whale's body. It also has biggest brain of any animal. Its lower jaw is small and contains its huge, conical teeth. These teeth fit into sockets in the upper jaw. Diet. Sperm whales are carnivores (meat-eaters). They mostly hunt medium-sized squid. They also eat many kinds of fish such as skate. Sometimes they hunt giant squid that live on the ocean bottom at great depths. Most of the animals sperm whales eat live in the deep sea, and sperm whales dive very deep to hunt. They regularly dive between 300 and 800 meters (980 and 2,620 feet) deep, and stay underwater for two hours. Size. Sperm whales can reach up to 20.7m long, and weigh up to 80,000kg. In the past, there have been claims about whales that were as long as 24 meters, but these claims are not proven, and there is disagreement about whether they are true. Echolocation. Like other toothed whales, the sperm whale uses echolocation, a way of sensing in which the whale makes a high-piched clicking sound and listens to the echoes that it makes as it bounces off of objects (like prey). Sperm whales use this to hunt, but also to communicate, using patterns of clicks called click codas. Sperm whales have special organs that they use for echolocation. These are called the spermaceti organ and the junk. The spermaceti organ is like a large barrel full of spermaceti, an oily liquid that sperm whales use for echolocation. The junk is made of cartilage and spermaceti, and is used to focus the sounds made for echolocation.

Saul (;, meaning "asked for, prayed for"; ; , "Ṭālūt" or , "Ša'ūl") is a King in the Books of Samuel, 1 Chronicles and the Qur'an. He was the first king of ancient Israel. He ruled Israel in the 11th Century BC. In the Bible, Saul loves and obeys God, until he stops listening to God and becomes greedy, losing God's whole interest for him. Samuel, the prophet, comes and gives him a warning that God is not with him anymore. When turning to leave, Saul grabs Samuel's robe, and it tears. Samuel says (1Samuel15:28~29), "The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to one of your neighbors - to one better than you. He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind; for he is not a man, that he should change his mind." Then the spirit of the Lord leaves Saul and an evil spirit makes Saul miserable. Saul hires a shepherd named David, son of Jesse, to play a harp for him whenever the evil spirit comes because that way Saul can be happy. Later he gets jealous of David, and begins to suspect David as the 'one of your neighbors' that Samuel had mentioned. He grows afraid of David, and finally his jealousy turns to hatred, and he tries to kill him. But Saul's son Jonathan is a friend of David so Jonathan helps David escape.  Later, Saul dies at the battle against the Philistines at Mount Gilboa. Saul kills himself because he does not want to be tortured by the 'uncircumcised' Philistines. Details of Saul’s Death. The two books of Samuel talk about Saul’s death differently. In the first book of Samueland in a parallel account in 1 Chronicles 10, as the defeated Israelites run away, Saul asks his armour bearer to kill him, but he refuses, and so Saul kills himself. In the second book of Samuel, someone who says he’s the son of an Amalekite tells David he found Saul leaning on his spear after the
Ecclesiastes is a book in the Old Testament of the Bible. It is described as "the words of the Philosopher, David's son, who was King in Jerusalem" (verse 1). This is probably Solomon. The book talks about the meaning of life and the best way to live. People disagree about what the Book of Ecclesiastes means. Some people think the book is very pessimistic, saying "all is vain", "there is nothing new under the sun."(Chapter I), and "I looked again at all the injustice that goes on in this world. The oppressed were weeping but no one would help them. No one would help them, because their oppressors had power on their side. I envy those who are dead and gone; they are better off than those who are still alive. But better off than either are those who have never been born." (Chapter 4) Other people think the book says that even though life is hard and we will all die someday, we should just enjoy God's gifts. The book finishes by saying: ""Fear God, and keep his commandments; for that is the whole duty of everyone" (12:13). Impact. Some of the sayings and ideas in Ecclesiastes have become important in British and American culture. For example, the saying "there is nothing new under the sun" is often used in the United States. During the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln used a quote from Ecclesiastes in a speech to Congress: "One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever..." ("One generation of people dies, and another generation is born, but the world will be here forever.")  President Joe Biden has also made a brief reference of Ecclesiastes during his winning speech after the 2020 Presidential Election: "To everything there is a season: a time to build, a time to reap, and a time to sow and a time to heal. This is the time to heal in America.”  Famous American writer Thomas Wolfe once said: "Ecclesiastes is the greatest single piece of writing I have ever known, and the wisdom expressed in it the
Judas Iscariot (last name means "Man of Kerioth") was one of the original disciples of Jesus. He is found in all four gospels of the New Testament. He is described as having betrayed Jesus for money, then killing himself. He is said to have been the treasurer for the apostles. Even though he was one of Jesus' disciples, he helped the chief priests arrest Jesus. Then those priests told the Roman governor to kill Jesus. The priests paid Judas thirty pieces of silver for his help. Later; due to great sense of guilt for betraying Jesus, Judas tried to give back the silver. When he was unable to undo when he had done, he committed suicide. At the Last Supper, Jesus told his disciples that one of them would betray him. Matthew and Luke wrote that Jesus implied that it was Judas. While Jesus was praying on the Mount of Olives, Judas brought the priests and their men to him. Then he kissed Jesus, so that the priests could know who he was. Then the priests took Jesus away to be killed. The priests gave Judas money for helping them. The Gospel of Matthew states that Judas felt guilty that he helped kill Jesus. He tried to give the money back to the priests, but they said it was illegal. So Judas threw the money into the temple, and then hanged himself. Then the priests used the money to buy a graveyard for strangers. In the book of Acts, Judas used the money to buy a field for himself, but died there a while after. After Judas died, the other disciples chose a man named Matthias to take his place as a new disciple in the group of 12. Related pages. The following people were the other apostles of Jesus:

In baseball, the Chicago Cubs baseball uniforms have had pin stripes since 1907 and they are recognized as the first Major League Baseball team to have pin striping onto a baseball uniform. Many other Major League Baseball teams like the Montreal Expos and New York Yankees later put pin stripes on their own uniforms.
