question: St. John's (/sentdnz/, local /sentdnz/) is the capital and largest city in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. St. John's was incorporated as a city in 1888, yet is considered by some to be the oldest English-founded city in North America. It is located on the eastern tip of the Avalon Peninsula on the island of Newfoundland. With a population of 214,285 as of July 1, 2015, the St. John's Metropolitan Area is the second largest Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) in Atlantic Canada after Halifax and the 20th largest metropolitan area in Canada. It is one of the world's top ten oceanside destinations, according to National Geographic Magazine. Its name has been attributed to the feast day of John the Baptist, when John Cabot was believed to have sailed into the harbour in 1497, and also to a Basque fishing town with the same name.

St. John's is one of the oldest settlements in North America, with year-round settlement beginning sometime after 1630 and seasonal habitation long before that. It is not, however, the oldest surviving English settlement in North America or Canada, having been preceded by the Cuper's Cove colony at Cupids, founded in 1610, and the Bristol's Hope colony at Harbour Grace, founded in 1618. In fact, although English fishermen had begun setting up seasonal camps in Newfoundland in the 16th Century, they were expressly forbidden by the British government, at the urging of the West Country fishing industry, from establishing permanent settlements along the English controlled coast, hence the town of St. John's was not established as a permanent community until after the 1630s at the earliest. Other permanent English settlements in the Americas that predate St. John's include: St. George's, Bermuda (1612) and Jamestown, Virginia (1607).

question: (CNN) -- Fantasia Barrino left the Charlotte, North Carolina, hospital Wednesday where she was admitted Monday after overdosing on "aspirin and a sleep aid," her manager said.

"She has been lifted up by the outpouring of love and support from her fans," Brian Dickens said in a written statement Wednesday evening.

Barrino's overdose came the same day she read a court complaint from a woman who alleged that the singer carried on a year-long affair with her husband, Dickens said.

Audio of the 911 call made Monday evening from Barrino's home was released by police Wednesday.

"An individual took a bottle of aspirin, and she's slowly losing consciousness," the caller said. A police report released Tuesday identified the caller as Dickens.

The incident capped off a day for Barrino that included a barrage of media reports about a child custody case filed last week. Paula Cook charged that Barrino and her husband, Antwaun Cook, became romantically involved last August.

"Fantasia is heartbroken and is sorry for any pain she may have caused," Dickens said in a written statement Tuesday. "Yesterday, she was totally overwhelmed by the lawsuit and the media attention."

The statement acknowledged the affair, saying "Fantasia fell in love with Mr. Cook and believed that he loved her."

The former "American Idol" winner's affair was based on lies he told her, Dickens said.

"Fantasia believed Mr. Cook when he told her he was not happy in his marriage and his heart was not in it," Dickens said. "She believed him when he told her he and Mrs. Cook separated in the late summer of 2009. She believed Mr. Cook when he told her he lived elsewhere."

question: Glucose is a simple sugar with the molecular formula CHO. Glucose circulates in the blood of animals as blood sugar. It is made during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight. It is the most important source of energy for cellular respiration. Glucose is stored as a polymer, in plants as starch and in animals as glycogen.

With 6 carbon atoms, it is classed as a hexose, a subcategory of the monosaccharides. -Glucose is one of the 16 aldohexose stereoisomers. The -isomer, -glucose, also known as dextrose, occurs widely in nature, but the -isomer, -glucose, does not. Glucose can be obtained by hydrolysis of carbohydrates such as milk sugar, cane sugar, maltose, cellulose, glycogen, etc. It is commonly commercially manufactured from cornstarch by hydrolysis via pressurized steaming at controlled pH in a jet followed by further enzymatic depolymerization. In 1747, Andreas Marggraf was the first to isolate glucose. Glucose is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most important medications needed in a basic health system. The name glucose derives through the French from the Greek , which means "sweet," in reference to must, the sweet, first press of grapes in the making of wine. The suffix "-ose" is a chemical classifier, denoting a carbohydrate.
