Forrest Gump is a 1986 novel by Winston Groom.
The novel tells the story of Forrest Gump, a man with an IQ of 75, and his epic journey through life, meeting historical figures, influencing popular culture and experiencing first-hand historic events while largely unaware of their significance, due to his lower than average intelligence.
The movie adaptation differs substantially from the book on which it was based.
Film adaptation
Forrest Gump was made into a movie starring Tom Hanks.
The movie, however, covers a slightly different version of the later chapters, which deal with Gump's shrimp business and his meeting of his son Forrest, Jr. Also, Gump marries Jenny in the movie.
Gump and Forrest Jr. do not have the loving relationship that the end of the movie features - in the movie, they actively tell each other that they love one another in their last conversation.
Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix.
The appendix is a pouch at the start of the large intestine.
Symptoms usually include a sharp pain in the lower right abdomen.
Also, nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite are common.
However, about 40% of people do not have these typical symptoms.
If the appendix ruptures (splits) the result is painful peritonitis, and sepsis.
Therefore immediate treatment in hospital is needed for appendicitis.
Usually the infected appendix is taken out.
The function of the appendix in apes is the digestion of vegetable matter such as leaves.
Humans do not digest leaves, but we inherited some of the apes' vegetarian apparatus.
Our appendix is much smaller than that of present-day apes, and for some reason our immune system does not serve it well.
An infection there is not eliminated as it might be elsewhere in the body.
The causes of appendicitis include blocking in the appendix, or bacterial infections.
If it is not treated, it may lead to peritonitis and shock.
Most serious appendicitis happens to younger children and elder adults.
Appendicitis is common between the ages of ten and fourteen for males, and fifteen and nineteen for females.
The most usual treatment is an appendectomy which means removing the appendix.
Sometimes, it gets better without surgery.
Some people think that eating vegetables will help, but no chances should be taken.
Seek medical advice if in doubt.
Reginald Fitz first described acute appendicitis in 1886.
It is one of the leading causes worldwide of "pain in the abdomen", a term used in medicine and surgery to cover a wide range of causes.

It also included the North-West Frontier and British Punjab provinces of Pakistan as well as Burma.
Penang and Singapore were also considered to be part of the Presidency until they became part of the Crown Colony of the Straits Settlements in 1867.

A SWAT team is a group of highly trained police officers who deal with very dangerous criminals.
SWAT is an acronym that means Special Weapons And Tactics.
SWAT officers carry weapons of higher caliber than most police officers do, such as machine guns, shotguns, and sniper rifles.
Usually, police departments use SWAT teams to catch people who sell illegal drugs or try to hold people hostage.
They also respond to serious crimes like bank robberies when normal police officers cannot control the criminals.
The SWAT teams are usually called to deal with hostage situations.
They plan the entry into the building where the hostages are being held.
They look closely at all building entrances to choose the best option.
They make use of equipment such as rappelling ropes, nightvision goggles, thermalvision goggles, a tactical shield, flashbang and smoke grenades, snake cameras small cameras that fit under doors and into very small holes, among others.
SWAT officers act as paramilitary units that tackle situations beyond the capability of conventional police forces.
SWAT teams are called in when an incident presents significant risk to law enforcement officers or the public, as in:
Counterterrorism operations
Catching and arresting of armed and barricaded suspects
Suicide intervention
Warrant service under fire
Protection of visiting dignitaries
High-risk search and seizure
Covert and undercover operations
Crowd and riot control
Fugitive tracking in rural environments
While all SWAT officers are expert marksmen with in-depth training in close combat, most play a specialized role within the team.
Some serve as negotiators or medics while others are experts in handling assault vehicles or weapons.
Each team includes several tactical officers who coordinate and carry out assaults on barricaded positions and catch and arrest armed suspects.
When not responding to crises, SWAT officers perform more routine duties.
Many spend a majority of their time in conventional policing activities such as patrol and traffic enforcement.
In some areas, they use their specialized tactical knowledge to conduct crime suppression exercises that ferret out dangerous offenders.
Commandos are military soldiers who have been highly trained in combat.
In many armies, they are used to rescue hostages and board enemy ships.
British commandos are royal marines commandos

Infantry is the branch of a country's army that fights on foot.
A member of the infantry is called an infantryman.
Infantrymen are also called foot soldiers or footmen.
Infantry is different than cavalry because infantry members fight on their own two feet, without vehicles or animals to ride on.
Historically, infantrymen were trained to use spears, swords and shields.
Modern infantrymen are trained to use many different kinds of weapons, including rifles, grenades, rocket launchers, pistols, sniper rifles, and machine guns.
It is one of the most dangerous jobs in any country's military.
Since the end of World War II, 81% of Americans killed in battle were infantrymen.
This is despite the fact that the infantry made up only about 4% of the US military.
The infantry is the backbone of the military and the most important branch of the army.

It was created on 5 June 1967.
Its first flight was on 5 April 1968 from Luton in England to Madrid in Spain.
Monarch flew to many different places around the world, and usually to holiday resorts.
The airline stopped flying on 2 October 2017.
Monarch Airlines has had 2 accidents.
On 22 May 2002, one of Monarch's Boeing 757s suffered broken landing gear at Gibraltar Airport because the pilot pushed the front wheels down too hard on landing.
On 17 March 2006, the flightdeck crew of a Boeing 757-200 lost visual contact with the runway while attempting to land at Gibraltar Airport.
During the subsequent go-around, the crew nearly crashed into the Rock of Gibraltar.
The aircraft diverted to Malaga to prevent a similar problem.
A budget airline or low-cost carrier is an airline which tries to keep its prices and fares lower than competitors.
It usually does this by not offering services like free food and drink on a flight and keeping fines from airports low by keeping on time.
They also usually only use one type of aircraft.
Budget airlines were made famous by Southwest Airlines in the USA which only use Boeing 737 aircraft.

The idea of a flat Earth is that the surface of the Earth is flat (a plane).
Belief in a flat Earth is found in the oldest writings.
Early Mesopotamian maps showed the world  as a flat disk floating in the ocean.
This was a common belief until the Classical Greeks began to discuss the Earth's shape about the 4th century BC.
Eratosthenes (276 BC–194 BC) calculated the circumference of the Earth quite well.
From then on, few educated people ever believed in its being flat.
People first started having the thought that the Earth is round in around 6th century BC.
Then, Aristotle proved the Earth was round in around 330 BC.
The large-scale shape of the Earth only matters when considering large distances.
Therefore in the Ancient world only sailors, astronomers, philosophers, and theologians would have cared about the Earth's large-scale shape.
Portuguese people explored Africa and Asia, Columbus sailed to the Americas (1492) and Ferdinand Magellan's circumnavigated (sailed all round) the earth (1519-21).
This proved finally, in a practical way that the Earth is a globe.
The widely circulated woodcut is of a man poking his head through the firmament of a flat Earth to see the machines working the spheres.
It was made in 16th century style but cannot be traced to an earlier time than Camille Flammarion's L'Atmosphère: Météorologie Populaire (Paris, 1888, p. 163).
The woodcut illustrates the statement in the text that a missionary in the middle Ages claimed that "he reached the horizon where the Earth and the heavens met".
That story may be traced back to Voltaire, but not to any known source in the Middle ages.
The original woodcut had a decorative border that places it in the 19th century; in later publications, some claimed that the woodcut dated from the 16th century and the border was removed.
According to an unproved story Flammarion ordered the woodcut himself; certainly no source of the image earlier than Flammarion's book is known.
An early mention in literature was Ludvig Holberg's comedy Erasmus Montanus (1723).
A great many people disagree with Erasmus Montanus when he claims the Earth is round, since all the peasants believe it is flat.
He is not allowed to marry his fiancée until he cries "The earth is flat as a pancake".
In Rudyard Kipling's The Village that Voted the Earth was Flat, the main characters spread the rumor that a Parish Council meeting had voted in favor of a flat Earth.
Fantasy fiction often imagines a flat Earth.
In C. S. Lewis' The Voyage of the Dawn Treader the fictional world of Narnia is "round like a table" (i.e., flat), not "round like a ball", and the characters sail toward the edge of this world.
Terry Pratchett's Strata and Discworld novels (1983 onwards) are set on a flat, disc-shaped world resting on the backs of four huge elephants which are in turn standing on the back of an enormous turtle.
John HAPPY JACK  Gilbert (1842 – 1865) was a famous Australian bushranger.
He was born in Hamilton, Canada.
He came to Australia in 1852 when he was 10 years old.
His family came to dig gold in Victoria, Australia.
When he was 12 years old he got a job working with horses
When he was about 20 years old, Gilbert was living in New South Wales near Forbes.
He became a member of a gang which was led by Frank Gardiner.
Another member of the gang was Ben Hall.
With Gardiner and Hall, Gilbert was involved with the biggest gold robbery in Australia's history: in 1862 the gang robbed a coach carrying gold at Eugowra.
After the robbery, Gardiner went to Queensland to hide from the police.
John Gilbert went to New Zealand.
When he came back in May 1863, he started a new gang with Ben Hall.
With Ben Hall
The Ben Hall gang robbed travelers on the roads, the mail coaches, the gold escorts, hotels, farm houses and even held up whole towns.
The police seemed to be unable to stop the gang.
At first people thought this was fun, the police being made to look like fools.
Gilbert and John O'Meally did the first daylight bank robbery in Australia in July 1863.
They rode into the town of Carcoar and tried to take money from the bank.
The man working at the bank grabbed his gun and fired it twice.
Gilbert and O'Meally ran out of the bank, quickly got on to their horses and rode away.
But as the number of robberies continued, people became scared and wanted the government to do something.
In 1864, Gilbert killed a policeman, Sergeant Edmund Parry, during a robbery near Jugiong.
The police search for Gilbert became urgent.
At Springfield, near Goulburn, Gilbert tried to rob four young brothers.
The boys fired their guns and kept the bushrangers back.
Gilbert tried to shoot one of the boys, but his stolen race horse (called "Young Waverly") got in the way.
The horse died immediately and Gilbert was trapped under the dead horse.
People thought that this was very funny; a dangerous bushranger being made to look like a fool by a group of boys.
In 1865 another another policeman was killed by another member of the gang, John Dunn.
Members of the gang were declared outlaws.
This meant they could be killed by anyone at anytime.
The police shot Ben Hall dead near Forbes on May 5, 1865.
On May 13, 1865 Gilbert and Dunn went to hide at John Kelly's (Dunn's grandfather) house.
Kelly told the police at Binalong where the two bushrangers were hiding so he could get the reward money.
The police went to the house, but Gilbert and Dunn climbed out a window and ran down to Billabong Creek to escape into the bush.
Constable King was shot in the foot, and Dunn was shot in the arm.
Gilbert was shot dead when he stopped to shoot back at Constable John Bright.
After an inquest to record how he died, he was buried at Binalong, in the field where the police kept their horses.
Gilbert was a bad criminal.
He had been in 630 robberies.
Dunn escaped but was captured six months later.
He was hanged in Sydney in March 1866.
Gilbert in poetry and song
The story of John Gilbert was told in a poem, How Gilbert Died , by Australian poet, Banjo Paterson.
Paterson had lived in Binalong when he was a young boy.
Sunny Baudelaire is one of the main characters from Lemony Snicket's series of books, A Series of Unfortunate Events.
In the film she is portrayed by Kara and Shelby Hoffman.
She is the youngest of the Baudelaire orphans.
Her two elder siblings are Violet and Klaus Baudelaire.
She is described as being an infant throughout much of the series, and as a young (albeit advanced) child toward the end.
Sunny cannot talk quite as well as the others because she's only a baby, but the baby noises that she makes are often very well translated into common English words by her older siblings.
As the series progresses, her speech begins to grow and by the end of the series she is speaking in full sentences.
Sunny's favorite book is From Molars to Incisors: A Pictorial History of the Tooth, and she hates limp food.
Her love of biting is not as common late in the series, though, when she develops a love of cooking.
Klaus Baudelaire is a fictional character in the popular children's book series, A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket.
His first name is possibly derived from Claus von Bülow.
Klaus is the middle child of the Baudelaire orphans; he has an older sister named Violet and a younger sister named Sunny.
He is twelve years old at the beginning of the series, and turns thirteen in The Vile Village.
He is fourteen by the end of the series.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or attention deficit disorder (ADD), is a neurodevelopmental disorder.
It affects how people think and act.
People with ADHD may be too active; they may have trouble sitting still or being quiet.
They may be rather impulsive.
They usually have problems focusing and remembering what is said or done around them.
ADHD is called a neurological developmental disorder because it affects how people's nervous systems develop.
Experts think that, throughout the world, about one in twenty children (5%) have ADHD.
Some countries have more people with ADHD than others, and not everyone uses the same tests.
Psychologists have found more people with ADHD in North America than in Africa and the Middle East.
In the United States, about one in every fourteen children has ADHD (7%), including one in every ten boys (10%) and one in every twenty-five girls (4%).
This could be because more boys get ADHD, or because fewer girls take ADHD tests.
Some (less than half) people with ADHD in childhood find things get better when they are adults.
Their symptoms are less noticeable.
In some cases the symptoms go away entirely when they reach adulthood.
People with ADHD can have trouble paying attention, be overly active, or be impulsive.
There are three types of ADHD, based on which of the three symptoms is most common.
Someone who usually has trouble paying attention may have some or all of these symptoms:
They can get distracted easily when listening
They can have difficulty when focusing
They can get bored after a few minutes unless it's something they enjoy
They can have difficulty when organizing or completing a task, homework, assignments, and by handing in tasks
They can often lose items or forget about them
They do not seem to listen when they are spoken to
They can daydream, become confused easily, and not move fast
They have difficulty taking information quickly or correctly
They seem to struggle when following instructions
They may move around a lot when sitting.
They may talk without stopping.
They may run around touching or playing with anything they see.
They may have trouble sitting without moving while trying to eat, do homework, or pay attention in class.
They may move constantly.
They may have trouble doing things quietly.
They may have tics (like Tourette)that are caused by panic or stress.
They may be very impatient.
They may say things that are not nice or correct or do things without thinking about what will happen.
They may have trouble waiting for things they want to have or do.
They may often interrupt other people.
People with ADHD may have trouble making and keeping friends.
They may also have trouble controlling their anger.
While children with ADHD may have trouble doing some things, many children with ADHD will not have trouble paying attention to something they enjoy or think are interesting.
It is believed that the main difference between neurotypical brains and the ones with the ADHD is the deficit in amount of dopamine receptors release within the synapses in the brain.
This deficit is said to be the main factor in regulating motivation and sustaining attention.
Research of twins has shown that about three in four cases of ADHD are caused by one or both parents having ADHD.
Siblings of children with ADHD are three to four times more likely to develop the disorder than siblings of children without the disorder.
Genetic factors are also believed to be involved in determining whether ADHD lasts into adulthood.
Some scientists think that ADHD is common because when humans were first developing, it was good to be overly active.
Others think that, because ADHD is more common in children when the mother is anxious, ADHD developed to help children in dangerous places.
There are other possible causes for ADHD.
If a pregnant person drinks alcohol, it can cause fetal alcohol syndrome, which can include ADHD.
ADHD can also happen if a mother smokes tobacco while she is pregnant.
Lead, low birth weight, premature birth, and some infections can increase the risk of a child having ADHD.
Managing ADHD
There is no cure for ADHD.
People with ADHD can be helped with therapy or medication.
Therapy is recommended for children who do not have bad symptoms or are very young.
Therapy for people with ADHD helps with attention and behavior.
There is also education for parents and teachers to help children with ADHD.
Some physical exercise has been shown to help people with ADHD.
The first line treatment for ADHD includes cognitive behavioral therapy and use of stimulants.
Stimulants increase the amount of a chemical called dopamine in the brain, which helps with paying attention, planning, organization, and management of being overly active.
These medications should not be given to children below the age of 6.
People do not agree about the diagnosis of ADHD.
The number of people with ADHD has increased in the last several years.
Some people think this is because doctors are diagnosing too many people.
Others think it is because doctors are getting better at finding people with ADHD.
Some people think that ADHD is made-up and not a real illness, even though it's the most researched condition in psychiatry.
Most studies suggest that ADHD is mostly caused by problems with genes.
Several famous people have spoken about the rise in ADHD diagnoses.
Actor Tom Cruise said that the medicines usually given to people with ADHD were like illegal drugs.
Others disagreed with him because the amount of medicine given to people with ADHD does not cause addiction.
There have been many studies about the effectiveness of the medicines used with ADHD.
One certain study found that the medicine did help over a long time, but did not help more than other types of treatment.
Genetics links between five major psychiatric disorders: autism, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and schizophrenia per recent study.
Prevalence is a measure from the statistics of epidemiology.
The prevalence of a disease in a certain population tries to answer the question of how common the disease is.
A simple way to do this is to see how many members of the population have the disease, and divide by the total number of people in the population.

Ozone, or trioxygen, is a chemical with the symbol O3.
This means one molecule of ozone is made of three oxygen atoms.
Ozone is rarely called trioxygen, even though this is its IUPAC systematic name.
Ozone is formed from oxygen gas (O2) by the action of ultraviolet light and also atmospheric electrical discharges.
It is present in low concentrations throughout the Earth's atmosphere.
In total, ozone makes up only 0.6 ppm (parts per million) of the atmosphere by volume.
Ozone is important to life on planet Earth.
There is a portion of the stratosphere with a high concentration of ozone, called the ozone layer.
The ozone layer filters out damaging ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, like a kind of sun screen.
Without this ozone layer things would not have been able to live on the surface of our planet.
The ozone layer also absorbs a lot of heat from the sun's rays.
However, ozone is toxic to animals and plants above concentrations of about 0.1 ppm.
In humans, it can cause nasal and throat irritation, and nausea.
Extended exposure can cause lung oedema.
0.100 ppm is the maximum allowable limit for industrial, public, or occupied spaces in England, Japan, France, the Netherlands and Germany.
The Ozone layer is in  the 10 to 50 kilometer range of the Earth's atmosphere.
