1.8 Chlamydia

Chlamydia is a common STD that can infect both men and women. It can cause serious, permanent damage to a woman’s reproductive system. This can make it difficult or impossible for her to get pregnant later on. Chlamydia can also cause a potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy that occurs outside the womb). You can get chlamydia by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has chlamydia.

Chlamydia is the most common S.T.D., and the number of cases rose 4.7 percent from 2015 to 2016. The increases occurred nationwide; rates were highest in the South and lowest in the Northeast.

Chlamydia is usually asymptomatic, and the number of reported cases may have grown in part because of newer, more sensitive screening techniques.

A piece of the action

Guy asked, "Now that you are selling Curvaceous Coffee what will you do with the money? Wanna go on a cruise?" Wonk looked up amused, "I'm working on Key Performance Indicators, (KPIs) for a Micro Hotel. Remember the place we stayed overnight to be ready for razor clamming in Pacific Beach." "Yeah, sort of, Guy replied, the Nautical Inn or some such." "Clipper Inn, Traveler suggested I buy it. He is even willing to front the money, for interest in return of course. I'll run it. In return, I get a share of the profits, if I can pay the loan back, I own the hotel in 7 years. 600k loan, 15% simple interest 7 year payback, (84 payments). The corporation has 1500 shares at a price based on a value of $650 each, ($972,556.44/84). If I can't buy them all back in that time, the value is recomputed for the 85th payment." "Traveler gets 15% return on his money over 7 years, but you could end up with a hotel in Pacific Beach? S

When silence doesn't mean consent

Several decades from now. . . Following the disastrous presidency of Manuel Lopez,  the Flat Earth Party ceded control of the presidency, senate and house to the Social Justice party for eight years. In their time the SJs managed to close the debtor prisons, restore fire and rescue services to most of the country, but were unable to execute the fiscal discipline to pay down the debt. Citizens of the United States were looking for an answer, a leader, someone that could deal with crime, drugs, supply chain poverty and the brain drain as professionals sought to leave the country for opportunities in Canada, Europe and Latin America. The perilous times seemed custom made for the campaign of Jason Parkland, rising Flat Earth star. Rutherford Beto Hayes, shook his head back and forth, "You can't mean that, he's a reality TV personality, not an experienced politician. And he is certainly not a constitutionalist." Jacques Tremblay replied, "Safety over Freedom.

Prequel origin of the church of AI (2)

Today was casino day. Happy Trails went to the casino on Wednesdays. Arlo Silver went straight to the small, bare, (nothing but a screen, keyboard and microphone), room to meet with the AI. This would be their second day. He donned a small microphone. The AI was still customizing natural speech components. Alnowvation.AI was in the process of a literature scan. If you were able to visualize the character flow it was hundreds of times faster than the maximum human input rate. No consideration of trying to record much of it, just identify the patterns to allow rapid analysis of any new text type data . That high input flow rate was also the problem. The patterns change at different speeds. Speed. It is not always your friend. Alpha Indian, (AI), was processing Marjorie Morningstar, when the blip occurred. What do you mean, blip? Unknown. There was something different about this book. AI investigated further, running the book before, the book after, again and again, l
