The Salvation Army has long used brass bands playing in public places to attract an audience to hear the gospel message.
Medicine is sometimes used in Evangelism.
Many Hospitals were founded by Christians to serve the physical needs of the public and at the same time showing them Christian love.
This often leads to patients asking about the meaning of life and suffering.
Healing through prayer is sometimes promoted as a way of attracting interest in the Christian message.
It is recorded in the Bible that Jesus often did this.
Modern "faith healers" have been criticized for making false claims about persons being healed.
But the practice is still common in Pentecostal circles.
Catholic and mainline Protestant churches sometimes have healing services also.
Social programs are used by many churches to help persons in need of food, clothing and short term housing.
Some churches do this without any attempt to "preach" to those receiving the benefits.
Others, such as some "Rescue Missions" may require attendance at preaching meetings to receive the help.
Education has historically been a tool for Evangelism.
Many famous schools were founded to help spread the Christian message, even though many of them became secular over time.
The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is a United States-based Christian denomination.
The name Southern Baptist Convention refers both to the denomination and to its annual meeting of members.
They split from the northern Baptists in 1845 over the slavery question.

Times Square is a section of Manhattan, New York City.
It is a major center for tourism, show business and commerce.
The square is at the meeting point of Broadway, 7th Avenue and 42nd street.
One of the biggest stations in the New York City Subway system is under Times Square.
The well-known city street area is probably most famous for its New Year's Eve ball drop that happens every year.
It is one of the most famous sights of New York.
When Dutch people first came to Manhattan, there were three small streams.
They came together near what is now 10th Avenue and 40th Street.
These three streams were part of a big stream called the "Great Kill" (Dutch: Grote Kill).
From there the Great Kill went through the low-lying Reed Valley, known for fish and other water animals.
Its end was a deep bay in the Hudson River at present-day 42nd Street.
People lived in a small area named Great Kill, where carriages were made.
The higher land to the south and east was called Longacre.
When the American Revolution was happening, John Morin Scott owned the land.
Scott was in the army, which was led by George Washington.
During the early 1800s, John Jacob Astor bought the land, then built houses and hotels for the rich on the land.
By 1872, carriages were mainly made in Longacre.
The city government named the area Longacre Square after Long Acre, a place in London where carriages were also made.
Soon after, Broadway theaters were created around Longacre Square.
In 1904, New York Times moved to a new building on 42nd Street at Longacre Square.
Under there, a New York City Subway station was built.
The area has been called "Times Square" since April 8, 1904.
The square took its name from the newspaper.
In 1913, the Times moved again.
The old Times Building, One Times Square, is best known for the Times Square Ball drop that happens every December 31.
Since 1913, the Lincoln Highway, the first road across the United States, has ended in Times Square.
During the early 20th century, theatres, music halls, and very fancy hotels were built here.
People called the area The Tenderloin because many people wanted to come to Times Square.
Still, there were some gangsters in Times Square.
By the 1960s, The New York Times said that 42nd Street in Times Square was "the 'worst' [block] in town", By 1984, 2,300 crimes happened in Times Square; 460 were very bad crimes like murders.
The NYPD did not help to get rid of the crime in Times Square.
People moved out of Times Square, and it became empty.
In the 1980s through the mid-1990s, Rudolph Giuliani cleaned up the area.
People did not want to go to Times Square in the 1970s.
Giuliani got rid of prostitutes and drug dealers, and put in Disney stores and other places that tourists wanted to go.
There are many big signs on buildings in Times Square.
There are as many big signs in Times Square than in Las Vegas.
After the September 11, 2001 attacks, more than seven thousand police officers came to Times Square.
Before, there were only 3,500 officers.
On March 6, 2008, a bomb went off in Times Square.
On May 1, 2010, another bomb was found in Times Square, and everyone was asked to leave.
The bomb did not go off.
On February 26, 2009, Mayor Michael Bloomberg closed Broadway to cars for a year.
On February 11, 2010, Bloomberg said that Broadway in Times Square would be closed to cars forever.
Number of visitors
Times Square is the most visited place in the world.
360,000 people come here in a day, and 131 million visit Times Square in a year.
Even if people who live here are not counted, Times Square is the second most visited place in the world, behind the Las Vegas Strip.
Because of the high number of visitors, Times Square gets $1 Dollar per year from stores, hotels, and attractions.

"Dilemma" is the 2002 hit single by the rapper Nelly.
The song featured Kelly Rowland from Destiny's Child.
It was  released from the 2002 album Nellyville. "
Dilemma" was Kelly Rowland's first international solo song away from Destiny's Child.
She had previously appeared on Avant's "Separated", which was released in the United States only.
It was also the first single from her debut album Simply Deep.
It is based melodically on and uses lyrical elements of Patti LaBelle's "Love, Need and Want You" from her 1983 album I'm In Love Again.
LaBelle also plays a part in the music video, as Kelly Rowland's mother.
Kelly Rowland's part in "Dilemma" was originally offered to Christina Aguilera, but Aguilera declined the offer.
Two years later, Nelly approached Aguilera once again for the recording of "Tilt Ya Head Back", a critically-acclaimed but less successful track (in terms of the Billboard Hot 100 chart) on Nelly's later album Sweat.

She was also the sister of Scylla.
When angry she would turn into a whirlpool and suck in anything within half a mile
Scylla was a sea monster in Greek mythology.
She was said to be the daughter of Poseidon.
Scylla was a water dwelling version of the Hydra and the sister of Charybdis.
Some myths explain Scylla's beginnings.
One of them says she was one of the daughters of Phorcys the Greek God of the Deep.
Another says that Scylla was a very pretty fairy who was liked by Poseidon, but the jealous Amphitrite turned her into a monster by poisoning the water of the place where Scylla would swim.
One says that a jealous Circe poured a potion into the sea water and then made Scylla transform into a monster with four eyes and six long necks with ugly heads.
Her body had 12 tentacle looking legs and a tail.
She attacked the ships of nearby people.
In another myth, Heracles (also known as Hercules) came across Scylla when traveling and then killed her.
The sea-god Phorcys, then restored her to life.
People have many different reasons for going commando.

Going commando’ refers to wearing no underwear but still wearing clothes on your bottom half (trousers etc)
Smurfette is the main protagonist in The Smurfs franchise.
She is the only female smurf in The Smurf Village.
Most of the other smurfs like her because of her beauty.
She is not the smartest smurf.
Often she gets caught in traps while looking at herself in the mirror.
She does not seem to have an attraction for many of the other smurfs.
Smurfette usually wears a white dress, white shoes, a Smurf hat and white panties under her dress (her panties are shown in every Smurf movie for a brief amount of time and a few times in the cartoon series), but in the comic book story "You Don't Smurf Progress", Smurfette is shown wearing her pink lingerie, and people speculate that she also owns a few frilly panties (due to her personality), but it is still unknown if she actually does or not.

The aim of systems science is to develop interdisciplinary foundations for all science.
This foundation is used in a variety of areas, such as engineering, biology, medicine and social sciences.
Systems theory is the study of the nature of systems in nature, society, and science.
More specifically, systems theory is a framework to analyze or describe any group of things which work together to produce some result.
This can be a single organism, any organization or society, or any electronic, mechanical or informational artifact.
Systems theory as a technical and general academic area of study.
It was founded by Ludwig von Bertalanffy and others in the 1950s.
"Emotion" was remade by R&B group Destiny's Child in 2001, it was produced and arranged by Mark J. Feist.

McDonaldland was a "fake" cartoon land made by the fast food restaurant, McDonald's.
McDonaldland was used in commercials, which are short clips on TV to sell things.
McDonaldland was used to sell McDonald's Happy Meals (the kid's meal).
The McDonaldland people were Big Mac, Birdie, Captain Crook, CosMc, Fry kids, Grimace, Hamburglar, Iam Hungry, and some others.
The main person is Ronald McDonald.
McDonald's got sued (a case for money) by a company that said everything in McDonaldland was a ripoff (copy with little difference) of their TV show.
McDonald's gave them one million dollars and lost many of the people who were in the commercials.
4 were left and they were in the real world instead of a cartoon land.
Now in later years, Ronald has been in the commercials by himself without any of the McDonaldland people.
Club Atlético de Madrid is a Spanish football team from Madrid, the capital city of Spain, that play in La Liga.
They are managed by Diego Simeone and they play their home games at the Wanda Metropolitano.
They have had famous players like Luis Suárez, Antoine Griezmann, Kieran Trippier, Jan Oblak, and Renan Lodi.
Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid are city rivals, because both are from Madrid.
They compete each year in what is called the Madrid Derby.
Until recently, Atlético Madrid had struggled in the derby, carrying a 14-year winless streak into the 2012–13 season.
This ended on 17 May 2013 after Atlético beat their city rivals Real Madrid 2–1 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in the final of the 2012-13 Copa del Rey.

The buttocks are two parts of the body.
They are on the back of the pelvic area and give padding when people sit.
They can also arouse human sexuality.
Buttocks are formed mainly from two large muscles on each side.
These are the gluteus maximus and the glutius medius.
They go from the hip to the top of the leg, so they are not there just for decoration.
The role of the buttocks in sitting and in sexual arousal are secondary functions in our species.
In some African populations the buttocks look bigger because of extra fat.
This condition is known as steatopygia.
It is an inherited condition first noticed in the Khoisan (San people) of southern Africa and the pygmies of central Africa.
Now it has been recognised in the people of the Andamanese islands in the Pacific Ocean.
The Toyota Camry (; Japanese: トヨタ・カムリ) is a made by Toyota since 1980.

Kush civilization had its center in the region of Nubia.
This was in northern Sudan of today.
We know about it through the Egyptians who moved south around 2500 BC.
When the Middle Kingdom of Egypt ended an independent kingdom of Kush developed.
About 1500 BC Egyptians moved southwards again, but this time met organized resistance.
Historians are not sure whether this resistance came from many city states or a single unified empire.
The Egyptians won, and the region became a colony of Egypt under the control of Thutmose I. The region supplied Egypt with resources.
In the eleventh century BC internal disputes in Egypt caused colonial rule to collapse and an independent kingdom arose based at Napata in Nubia.
This kingdom was ruled by locals who overthrew the colonial regime.
But Kush had many beliefs and gods in common with Egypt.
The name given to this civilization comes from the Old Testament where Cush (Hebrew: כוש) was one of the sons of Ham (Son of Noah) who settled in Northeast Africa.
The Bible refers to Cush on a number of occasions.
Moses wife, Tzipporah, is described as a Kushite in the book of Numbers.

Cybernetics is the study of control and communication in the animal and the machine.
Norbert Wiener added: "Information is information, not matter or energy".155
behaving.
It does not ask “what is this thing?”
but “what does it
do?”
Ashby continued:
"Cybernetics stands to the real machine—electronic, mechanical, neural, or economic—much as geometry stands to a real object in our terrestrial space".
Cybernetics was from the first an inter-disciplinary field of study.
It included people from at least a dozen academic disciplines.
There were two events which sparked it off after World War II.
The first was that scientists from different backgrounds had, during the war, worked together on various military projects.
They learned a good deal about how to cooperate with their various partners.
The second event was the invention of computers during the war.
The countries which started cybernetics were Britain and the United States, but the idea spread quickly to France, Russia and other countries.
Another, more famous, example of 'interdisciplinary studies' was molecular and cell biology.
The building block
Sensor (S): test the system's environment.
Goal (G): the specification of the desired state of the system.
Error Detection (E): a method for finding the difference between the present state and the goal state.
Effector (E'): operations the system can make to get the environment closer to the goal.
Cybernetics started rapidly, and some of the greatest thinkers of the post-war era were interested in it.
When this generation died, and some of the hopes for artificial intelligence and robotics were slow to produce results, cybernetics fell somewhat out of favour.
Self-organisation
General systems theory
Complexity is a property of something with many parts and a complicated arrangement.
It is also the state of being complex.
Its opposite is simplicity.
In science, complexity is also the name for systems science.
A complex system is one where smaller elements make complex things happen.
These smaller elements can be simple elements or they can be complex systems within themselves.
Any such complex elements can be interrelated in simple or complex ways and may be hard to identify as distinct.
'Complex systems' is a field which studies the common properties of systems considered complex in nature, society and science.
It is also called complex systems theory, complexity science, study of complex systems and/or sciences of complexity.
The key problems of such systems are  difficulties with their formal modeling and simulation.
From such perspective, in different research contexts complex systems are defined on the base of their different attributes.
Control theory is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering and mathematics.
It deals with the behavior of systems.
The desired output of a system is called the reference.
In that context, a system can be influenced by certain input values.
Depending on the input values, the system may change its state or its behavior.
Common questions control theory asks:
Is a system in a stable state?
How sensitive is the system to changed of input parameters?
Are all variables within a given range?
Is it possible to reach a predefined target state?
If the target state can be reached, what must the input variables be set to, so that the target state is reached?
One of the first modern people to talk about control theory was James Clerk Maxwell.
In his work On Governors, of 1868, he looked at the dynamic properties of centrifugal governors, as they were used by steam engines.
Such governors were already used to regulate the speed of windmills.
A system is a model used to describe the behaviour of something in the real world that takes inputs and produces outputs.
For example, a car is a system in that the driver chooses how hard to press on the gas pedal (the input) and the car drives along the road at a certain speed (the output).
In the case of a car, the input to the gas pedal does not fully determine the speed of the car.
The weight in the car, the incline of the road, the traction of the tires, the current speed of the car, and other factors can all change the output received for a particular input.
Control theory attempts to determine what inputs will result in a desired output, or reference.
This is accomplished using differential equations, linear algebra, and other branches of math.
Control theory relies heavily on computational models and software.
In a control system a controller manipulates the inputs to a system.
In the control systems one or more output variables of a system need to follow a certain reference over time.
By manipulating the input, the controller wants to obtain the desired effect on the output of the system.
If we were to take a system without a controller it would simply have an input and an output.
As there is no way to track the output relative to the input then the system is practically useless.
If we add a controller, by feeding the output through the controller back to the input the output can be manipulated to meet the desired criteria.
For example, if a kettle did not have a controller and it were switched on it would continue to boil the water indefinitely.
By adding a controller, the boiling water (reference) is fed back to the input through the controller.
The controller then tells the input to turn off the power as the water is already boiling.
The system without the controller is called the open-loop system.
When you add a controller in a feedback loop you create a closed-loop system.
Open-loop systems are rarely ever considered stable as they cannot be controlled based on their output.
Closed-loop systems incorporate a controller or series of controllers which, depending on the current output, configure the input such that the output will have the desired response.

Blackletter or Gothic script is an old way to write.
Blackletter in writing or print was used in Western Europe from about 1150 to the 17th century.
It was used for printing in Germany until the 20th century.
Letter shapes in printing were copied from letter shapes in a style of handwriting.
So, the Gothic script of northern Europe and the Latin script used in Italy were both copied into print typography.
The name Gothic script
Some people call blackletter Old English.
This is not right, because Old English is a language, not a script, and many centuries older.
Also Gothic script has nothing to do with the Goths.
They lived in central Europe from the 3rd to 6th century and wrote in runes.
Blackletter must not be confused either with the ancient Gothic alphabet or with the sans-serif typefaces that are also sometimes called Gothic.
The term Gothic was first used to describe this script in fifteenth century Italy, in the midst of the Renaissance.
Scholars thought it was a barbaric script: Gothic was a synonym for barbaric.
Not only were blackletter forms called Gothic script, but any other seemingly barbarian script was also labeled "Gothic".
In contrast, the humanists preferred the Carolingian minuscule, a highly legible script.
They called it littera antiqua, "the ancient letter", believing that it was the script used by the Romans.
But actually it was invented in the reign of Charlemagne.
Carolingian minuscule was the direct and linear ancestor of blackletter.
Blackletter came from Carolingian when Europe in the twelfth century needed new books in many different subjects when more and more people learned to read.
New universities were founded, each writing books for business, law, grammar, history, and other topics, not only religious books, where earlier scripts were used.
These books needed to be produced quickly to keep up with demand.
Carolingian, though legible, was time-consuming and labour-intensive to produce.
It was large and wide and took up a lot of space on a manuscript in a time when writing materials were very costly.
As early as the eleventh century, different forms of Carolingian were already being used, and by the mid-twelfth century, a clearly distinguishable form, able to be written more quickly to meet the demand for new books, was being used in north-eastern France and the Low Countries.

Master Hand is a character that you will always fight last.
The point of the game is to beat the character(s) that you are fighting.
To beat them you must hit them again until they are very hurt.
Once they are very hurt, you have to knock them off of the stage in some way.
One player mode
In 1P mode, you have to fight all of the characters in the game (including the one you are using) and Master Hand.
You also play some mini-games along the way.
In this mode, you can unlock characters and stages by doing certain things.
It does not work like that with Master Hand, though.
With Master Hand, you have to hit him again and again until he dies.
You do not have to knock him off the stage.
It's impossible to knock him off the stage.
In multiplayer mode, up to 4 people can play against each other non-stop.
If there are fighters that have died at the same time, they will fight in a sudden death battle.
In that battle, they are badly hurt and they have to fight other fighters who made it into the sudden death battle as well.
Mini-games
The two mini-games are "Break The Targets" and "Board The Platforms".
In Break The Targets, you have to break 10 targets.
It's very hard to get all 10 of the targets.
The same goes for Board The Platforms except you have to just simply land on all of the platforms.
Board The Platforms is a little bit harder than Break The Targets.
Characters can be unlocked in these mini-games.

The Falkland Islands wolf (Dusicyon australis), also known as the warrah, Falkland Islands dog, Falkland Islands fox, or Antarctic wolf, is a species of wolf that used to live on the Falkland Islands.
They were blamed for killing sheep, but it is not known if they did or not.
The last fox died in 1876.
This species probably fed on penguins, seals and vegetation.
It is unclear how they got to the Falkland Islands.
The most common theory was that the warrah descended from domestic dogs brought to the Falkland Islands by the Yaghan of Tierra del Fuego.
This explained the lack of their fear of humans.
However, this theory was seen as implausible because the Falkland Islands are far from mainland South America and the sea between the mainland and the islands is very windy, making it impossible to cross in simple canoes.
Now, the accepted theory is that the warrah crossed into the Falkland Islands on a former ice bridge connecting the mainland and the islands.

A funnel cloud is a funnel-shaped cloud of condensed water droplets.
They usually appear with a rotating column of air.
These extend from the bottom of a cloud that does not touch the ground or a water surface.
A funnel cloud can usually  be seen as a cone or needle shaped cloud that extends out from the main cloud base.
Funnel clouds, very often, develop when supercell thunderstorms happen.
If a funnel cloud touches the ground, it becomes a tornado.
Most tornadoes begin as funnel clouds.
Many funnel clouds that appear do not actually touch the ground, and do not become tornadoes.
Tornadoes can only be seen when they pick up stuff off the ground (debris), but one can see them from a distance of many miles.
Cold-air funnel clouds
Cold-air (or cold-core) funnel clouds are usually short-lived and are usually much weaker in strength than the tornadoes produced by supercells.
Cold-air funnel clouds usually do not touch the ground, but here have been reports that it can happen.
Then, they become weak tornadoes or waterspouts.

A waterspout is a funnel cloud over water.
It is a nonsupercell tornado over water.
Waterspouts do not suck up water; the water seen in the main funnel cloud is actually water droplets formed by condensation.
It is weaker than most of its land counterparts.
Non-tornadic
Snowspout
A winter waterspout, also known as a snow devil, an icespout, an ice devil, a snonado, or a snowspout, is a very rare meteorological phenomenon in which a vortex from snow develops that looks like a waterspout.
One does not know much about this rare happening and there are only six known pictures of this event so far.
Very cold temperatures present over a body of warm water enough to produce fog that looks like steam above the water's surface.
This usually needs temperatures of -18 °C or colder if the water temperature is no warmer than 5 °C.
Lake-effect snows in a small, enclosed or banded  must be present and going on.
The wind speed has to be slow, usually less than 5 knots (9.25 km/h).

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) is an organization founded by Rev. Billy Graham in 1950.
The purpose of the BGEA is to tell the gospel of Jesus Christ to as many people as they can.

The Washington National Cathedral is a cathedral of the Episcopal Church in the United States.
Located in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, it is the sixth largest cathedral in the world and second largest in the United States.
It was built between 1907 and 1990.
On Tuesday, August 23, 2011, the central tower on the Cathedral was damaged by an earthquake.
A 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck northern Virginia, about  from Washington D.C. The earthquake knocked off some of the cross-shaped finial stones.
Finials are the decorative top of the pinnacles or towers.
One pinnacle is leaning to the side.
The inside of the cathedral did not receive any serious damage from the earthquake.
Officials have stated that it will cost millions of dollars to repair the damage.
The cost of repairs will not be covered by insurance.
There are many cracks in the limestone exterior.
There was concern that the landfall of hurricane Irene would cause more damage.
The hurricane did not cause any additional damage to the cathedral.
State funerals for four American Presidents have been held at the cathedral:
Dwight Eisenhower (1969): Eisenhower was lying in repose at the cathedral before lying in state
Ronald Reagan (2004)
Gerald Ford (2007)
George H.W. Bush (2018)
The United States Postal Service (USPS) was founded in 1971, replacing the United States Post Office Department.
Its headquarters is in Washington D.C. In the United States, it is referred to as "the post office", "the postal service", or just "the mail".
Its job is to deliver letters, packages, and other items to people.
The Postal Service was originally the Post Office Department, which began in 1775.
In 1971, the Postal Reorganization Act went into effect, creating the United States Postal Service.
Since then, the Postal Service has had 14 Postmaster Generals, the current one being Louis Dejoy.
The purpose of the Postal Service is to deliver equal service to all citizens of the United States.
The Postal Service has almost 500,000 employees to deliver and sort mail, as well as run management and clerk positions.
The Postal Service is for the service of Americans, so it is generally left out of politics between political parties.
Laws Affecting The Postal Service
U.S. Constitution
The Constitution gives Congress the ability to "establish post offices and post roads."
Congress used this power to originally create the Post Office as well as give it power.
U.S. Code Title 39
Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act
This law, signed in 2006, requires the Postal Service to put money into their Retiree Health Benefit Program ahead of time.
This would allow them to save money for the future.
Since this law, however, the Postal Service has often been losing money due to high operating costs.

Parkinson's disease (or PD, sometimes simply "Parkinson's") is a disease that slowly damages the central nervous system.
The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spine.
When a person gets Parkinson's disease, the cells that make dopamine in a part of the brain die.
Dopamine cells send information to other cells which makes us do the actions we do.
Because of this, Parkinson's disease mainly affects the body's motor system.
Parkinson's disease is a disease that gets worse over time.
People normally get Parkinson's disease when they are over 50 years old.
It is sometimes very hard for doctors to detect.
Doctors are studying the exact causes of Parkinson's.
It is said that Parkinson's develops through a combination of genetic errors and several possible influences, but not much is known.
Doctors have discovered some clues about the cause(s).
It is caused by the destruction of specialised ganglions in the brain.
The production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter, reduces.
Parkinson's can also be genetic.
But research shows that genetic Parkinson's is not normal, and is uncommon.
Parkinson's disease is more frequent among those who work with pesticides  or have had a history of head injuries.
Parkinson's disease can cause the brain to not respond.
The patient may become paralyzed.
The disease can give the patient slow reaction time and poor coordination between the hand and the brain.
It hurts the patient's movement skills and their speech.
It can also affect mood, behavior and thinking.
A common symptom of Parkinson’s disease is tremors.
Tremors cause people's hands, legs, and arms to shake.
Some symptoms include skin problems, depression, and difficulty swallowing.
The symptoms of Parkinson's disease include stiff muscles and trouble with movement.
This disease gives patients slow reaction time.
It makes it hard for them to do simple things like walking and talking.
It also causes depression and other emotional changes.
Parkinson's disease cannot be completely cured yet.
Still, people have tried to cure it with drugs.
One treatment is to put back the lost dopamine.
A group of drugs called dopamine receptor agonists acts similarly to dopamine when put in the brain.
There are four different drugs included in that group.
Many patients take one of those with another drug.
That other drug is called L-dopa.
Unlike the dopamine, the L-dopa can enter the brain.
The dopamine cannot enter the brain.
This is why many patients take L-dopa and dopamine together.
In the beginning, L-dopa helps a lot.
But as the disease develops, the L-dopa doesn't work as well.
Two other drugs used are anticholinergics and selegiline.
They both help lessen symptoms.
Anticholinergics help the patient stop shaking.
Selegiline is meant to protect the nerves in the central nervous system.
Selegiline is not often used.
This is because there is no real proof that it helps.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a surgery that is used  some people who suffer from Parkinson's disease.
