Bloomingdale Trail

**Bloomingdale Trail** or also known as **606**  (The 606 Park and Trail) is an elevated urban trail in Chicago.  It was made by replacing elevated railroad tracks with a path for bicyclists, walkers and runners.

The trail is on Chicago's Northwest Side, at Bloomingdale Ave. (1800N), between Armitage and North. It is 2.7 miles long.  It runs east and west.  The eastern end is at Walsh Park, on Ashland Avenue (1600W).  The park's western end will be at Ridgeway Trailhead (3750W), when Phase 2 is completed.   The official opening was on June 6, 2015.   In September 2020, the City of Chicago officially renamed the trail from  Park 527 to The Bloomingdale Trail.

The first construction phase of the 606 was completed in 2015. It was developed by the City of Chicago, the city's park district and the Trust for Public Land. The name comes from the first three digits of Chicago's ZIP Code.  "In its original state, it was the elevated Bloomingdale [train] Line, completed in 1915 along Bloomingdale Avenue...."

The trail is about 17.5 feet above street level at its highest point.  Original retaining walls are on each side.  The walls are filled with a subsoil from when the structure was first built.  The ballast and railroad ties and trackes were removed in the conversion to a trail. On top of the subsoil are other soil layers.  These were re-built as part of the conversion.  On top of the soil is an 8-inch layer of concrete.  This top layer is 14 feet wide. In the middle is a 10-foot wide section for bicyclists.  On either side is a 2-foot shoulder for runners and walkers. Beyond the shoulders are planted areas with grass, trees and lighting. At some places, there are benches A fence or railing of varying height runs along the length of the path. There are 17 ramps and one staircase along the trail.

In 2016, the American Planning Association announced that the trail would win the association's 2016 National Planning Excellence Award for Urban Design.

Since its opening, the trail has had a lot of use by walkers, runners and bicyclists.   Local alderman Brian Hopkins the second has advocated extending the trail east across the North Branch of the Chicago River.

The trail has caused the price of houses that are near it to rise.  This rise is much greater west of Western Avenue than east of that street.

Splatoon

is a third-person shooter video game. It was developed by Nintendo EAD Group No. 2 and published by Nintendo. The game was released on May 28, 2015 in Japan, May 29, 2015 in Europe, May 29, 2015 in North America, and on May 30, 2015 in Australia. It was released for the Wii U. In _Splatoon_, the player controls a character called an Inkling. They can change between human and squid forms. The object of the game is to shoot colored ink across the game's map and cover the most territory with their team's color before the match ends. By transforming into a squid, it lets players swim through their own colored ink and can even let the player swim up walls and through grates. Hiding in their own ink recharges the players’ ink supply.

Nintendo announced that a series of Splatoon Amiibo figures would be released along with the game. The Inkling Boy and Girl are sold separately and a Squid figure is sold only as a bundle with either the game or the two other Amiibos. People who pre-ordered _Splatoon_ at GameStop were given a download voucher that gave them Splatoon-themed Mii costumes to use in _Super Smash Bros. For Wii U_.

A sequel, _Splatoon 2_, was released in 2017. A third entry released on September 9, 2022.

## Reception

_Splatoon_ was met with positive reviews. GamesRadar rated the game a 3.5 out of 5 stars. They said that the game was a refreshing take on the shooter genre but criticized some of the features like lobbies and Amibo-locked content. Destructoid rated the game 8.5. Chris Carter of Destructoid, said that "most of (the game's) shortcomings can be forgiven in my mind because of how damn fun it is."

Ice house

An **ice house**, or **icehouse**, is a building used to store ice throughout the year before the invention of refrigerators.

During the winter, ice and snow would be cut from lakes or rivers, taken into the ice house, and packed with insulation (often straw or sawdust). It would remain frozen for many months, often until the following winter, and could be used as a source of ice during the summer months. The main application of the ice was the storage of foods, but it could also be used simply to cool drinks, or in the preparation of ice-cream and sorbet desserts.

In the  19th-century and early-20th-century there was a commercial trade in ice on the east coast of the United States and Norway. Large amounts of natural ice were collected, stored and sold.  Later artificial ice was made and sold for domestic consumption and commercial purposes. Ice was cut from the surface of ponds and streams, then stored in ice houses, before being sent on by ship, barge or railroad to its final destination around the world.

Rational root theorem

The **Rational root theorem**  (or **rational zero theorem**) is a proven idea in mathematics. It says that if the coefficients of a polynomial are integer<nowiki/>ossible rational roots by dividing each factor of the constant term by each factor of the leading coefficient. <sup>[1][2]</sup>

Think about this polynomial:

All of the possible rational roots are these: ±factors of a<sub>0</sub> / ±factors of a<sub>n</sub>

This only finds the rational roots. There may be irrational or imaginary roots. Other theorems, such as Descartes’ rule of signs, help find how many imaginary roots there are for a given equation. <sup>[1]</sup>

## Example

Think about this polynomial: 15x<sup>4</sup> + 2x<sup>3</sup> – 10x<sup>2</sup> + x – 8

Factors of the leading coefficient are: 15: ±1,±3,±5,±15

Factors of the constant are: -8: ±1,±2,±4,±8

Possible rational roots are: ±1/1, ±2/1, ±4/1, ±8/1, ±1/3, ±2/3, ±4/3, ±8/3, ±1/5, ±2/5, ±4/5, ±8/5, ±1/15, ±2/15, ±4/15, ±8/15

Bodrum Castle

**Bodrum Castle** (), formerly the **Castle of St. Peter**, is located in southwest Turkey in the port city of Bodrum (), was built from 1402 onwards, by the Knights Hospitaller as the _Castle of St. Peter_ or _Petronium_. The castle was completed in 1522. It was used as a jail in 19th century. There are 5 towers of Bodrum Castle.

## History

The headquarters of the Knights Hospitaller were on the island of Rhodes. In 1402 their fortifications at İzmir fell to the Mongols under Tamerlane. Threatened by an invasion of the Seljuks they built the castle at Bodrum. Its location was the site of a fortification during the Doric Greek period. There was also a small Seljuk castle in the 11th century. The same promontory is also the probable site of the palace of Mausolos. He was the king of Caria. The construction of the castle began in 1404. It was fully fortified by 1460. Bodrum came under its final siege in 1522. At the time it was still strong enough to send men to Rhodes. After Rhodes fell, the castle surrendered.

## Museum of Underwater Archaeology

The Museum of Underwater Archaeology is housed inside the castle. One of its displays is one of the world's oldest ships believed to come from the 6th century. Another is called the glass shipwreck due to the large number of bottles it was carrying.

Tubo-ovarian abscess

A tubo-ovarian abscess is an infection of the female ovary and fallopian tube. It is a pus-filled ovary and Fallopian tube that is filled with infection.  This type of abscess is caused by an untreated sexually transmitted disease. It can be a complication after surgery to remove the uterus.

When a woman has this abcess, she has a fever, signs of infection in her blood, severe pain in her pelvic area.  She may also have a vaginal discharge. Many different kinds of bacteria can cause tubo-ovarian abscess. Tubo-ovarian abscess is rare in virgins.

## Symptoms and causes

The symptoms of tubo-ovarian abscess are the same as pelvic inflammatory disease.  The abscess can be seen with x-rays and other medical equipment.  The bacteria that cause gonorrhea can cause tubo-ovarian abscess.  The microorganism that causes a Chlamidia infection can cause tubo-ovarian abscess. Other bacteria can cause tubo-ovarian abscess Using an IUD for a long time can cause TOA.

The abcess can rupture filling the abdomen with the infection.  This is an emergency and a woman can die if this ruptured abscess is not treated quickly. A blood infection can happen if the abscess is not treated.  Sometimes an inter uteran device, a form of birth control can cause the abcess.

## Prevention and treatment

Some things make a woman more likely to get this disease.  These things are: sexual activity, increased age, IUD insertion, chlamydia infection, bacterial infection, sexually transmitted disease.  This disease is cured by treatment with medicine that will kill the bacteria that are causing the infection.  Some doctors will use intravenous antibiotics for least 24 hours.  Some women with this infection have to go to the hospital. Sometimes surgery has to be done.  After being in the hospital, medicine can be taken by mouth that will continue to cure the infection.   Patients are checked by a doctor three days after being in the hospital.  They then get another check up one to two weeks later to make sure that the infection is cured.

## Complications

Sometimes this infection is complicated.  In some cases the ovary and fallopian tubes have to be taken out. Without ovaries or Fallopian tubes a woman may not be able to have a baby.  There are other things that can happen during surgery that result in a bad outcome. But this is true for all surgeries.

## How many women are affected

One million women get tubo-ovarian abscess every year.
