    Two Teens Hitchhiked to a Concert. 50 Years Later, They Haven’t Come Home.

    01 On the morning of July 27, 1973, two Brooklyn teenagers set out for central New York to

    02 attend one of the _____ (big) concerts _____ rock history. They were never seen again. Fifty years

    03 ago last week marked the disappearance of 16-year-old Mitchel Weiser and 15-year-old Bonnie

    04 Bickwit, two gifted students who are the _____ (old) missing-teen cases _____ the country. Initially

    05 dismissed as romantic runaways who would return home soon, the pair’s fate remains a mystery.

    06 After decades of police bungling and false leads, investigators have tracked several theories over

    07 what might have happened to them. Amid recent information about a possible suspect connected

    08 to their disappearance, Mitchel’s and Bonnie’s friends and families are now calling on federal and

    09 state officials to provide the necessary resources to solve the coldest of cold cases.

    10 The couple was apparently last seen leaving Camp Wel-Met. Their plan was to hitchhike*

    11 150 miles northwest to attend an outdoor concert dubbed “Summer Jam” at the Watkins Glen

    12 Grand Prix Raceway. On the morning of July 27 — concert tickets in hand — the pair set out for

    13 the show. They were last seen hitchhiking along State Route 97. A truck driver picked them up.

    14 They thanked him after he dropped them off a short time later. He was the last known person

    15 to have seen them. On Monday, July 30, a day and a half after the concert ended, Camp Wel-

    16 Met contacted Bonnie’s mother, Raye, and told her Bonnie had not returned. The next day,

    17 Mitchel’s father, Sidney, and sister Susan drove five hours from Brooklyn to Watkins Glen. “We

    18 met with the county police, who treated them as runaways”, she says. Police in Sullivan County,

    19 Schuyler County, and New York City ignored the case and carried out no proper investigation.

    20 Missing persons experts say that the case’s 50th anniversary presents an extraordinary

    21 opportunity to engage the public — particularly anyone who attended Summer Jam — to search

    22 their memories, look at photos of Mitchel and Bonnie, and try to recall any new information.

    23 “This case is unique”, adds Marissa Jones, founder and host of The Vanished podcast, who has

    24 reported on 400 missing-persons cases. “There is a huge concert with people coming from all

    25 over. There’s hitchhiking. It’s a tough case to establish a firm timeline — we don’t know if they

    26 even made it to the concert or at what point. It’s a tough one to pull apart”.

    Probiotics and Prebiotics: What’s Really Important

    1. Probiotics and prebiotics are a hot topic these days. You’ve likely seen many ads on
    2. television and online for supplements and foods that promise to deliver helpful bacteria and their
    3. benefits, but there are things you should know before purchasing these products. Your large
    4. intestine contains 100 trillion “good” bacteria that are essential to health. Called the microbiome,
    5. these beneficial microbes help maintain healthy bowel function, and may help with inflammatory
    6. bowel disease. Research suggests they may even play a role in regulating weight and mood.
    7. Everyone starts with their own unique microbiome __ birth, and we add to these through
    8. the foods we eat. Some __ the best ways to add healthful bacteria to your microbiome are yogurt
    9. and kefir: be sure to look for the words “live and active cultures” __ the label, to make sure you
    10. are getting live cultures. Fermented foods are just as good: beneficial microbes are the “cooks”
    11. for some familiar foods. For example, they turn cabbage into sauerkraut, cucumbers into sour
    12. pickles, soybeans into miso, and sweetened tea into kombucha. When the products are
    13. pasteurized — as most packaged fermented foods — the microbes die. The best solution is to
    14. buy from Delis where they do the pickling themselves, or natural food stores that carry fermented
    15. foods. You can also make your own; you can find clear and easy instructions online.
    16. There are also probiotic supplements on the market, of course. But it’s not easy to sift
    17. through them and find exactly what you need. Usually, these products contain just a few bacterial
    18. strains, compared with 3,000 or so strains in your gut. And not all gut bacteria are alike. Specific
    19. bacterium play specific roles in the body, so if you’re trying to treat a specific condition, like
    20. irritable bowel syndrome or diarrhea, you need to find the right ones with documented benefits
    21. for that condition. In 2020, the American Gastroenterological Association released guidelines for
    22. the use of probiotics. Experts point out that good evidence for taking probiotic supplements exists
    23. for only a handful of conditions. For general health, look for brands that contain both Lactobacillus
    24. and Bifidobacterium.
    25. To help your body produce healthy gut bacteria, include plenty of foods rich in insoluble
    26. fiber in your diet. You’ll find them in whole-grain products such as oatmeal and whole-grain
    27. breads, as well as in vegetables like asparagus, leeks, onions, and garlic, and starchy vegetables
    28. like sweet potatoes and corn. Beans, lentils, and peas are also good sources. Limit sugar,
    29. saturated fat, and processed foods. These can deplete the good bacteria in the gut. As always,
    30. try to stick with whole, unprocessed foods. For more on how to protect your digestive health,
    31. check out Making Sense of Vitamins and Minerals, a Special Health Report from Harvard Medical
    32. School.

    The intrigue behind the Bermuda Triangle

    On a sunny day nearly 80 years ago, five Navy planes took off from their base in Florida on a _________ training mission, known as Flight 19. Neither the planes nor the crew were ever seen again. Thus was a legend born. The Bermuda Triangle is an area roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. No one keeps statistics, but in the last century, numerous ships and planes have simply vanished without a trace within the imaginary triangle.

    The disappearances have been attributed to the machinations of enormous sea monsters, giant squid, or extra-terrestrials. Alien abductions, the existence of a mysterious third dimension created by unknown beings, and ocean flatulence—the ocean suddenly spewing great quantities of trapped methane—have all been suggested as culprits.

    The reality, say many, is far more prosaic. They argue that a sometimes treacherous Mother Nature, human error, shoddy __________________ or design, and just plain bad luck can explain the many disappearances.

    "The region is highly traveled and has been a busy crossroads since the early days of European exploration," said John Reilly, a historian with the U.S. Naval Historical Foundation. "To say quite a few ships and airplanes have gone down there is like saying there are an ________ lot of car accidents on the New Jersey Turnpike—surprise, surprise."

    Dogs will eat almost anything—cats, not so much. Here’s why.

    Why are cats such picky eaters when dogs seem willing to wolf down just about anything they encounter? It’s a question many pet parents likely ask themselves while __________ their feline friend to swallow a pill or prying another slobbery piece of mulch from their puppy’s mouth.

    There’s still a lot scientists don’t know about animal taste preferences. But, thanks to a small but growing body of research, researchers are starting to unravel some of the mysteries around our four-legged friends’ flavor fancies. Here’s what we know so far.

    Accidentally drop a cupcake on the ground and your dog will probably scarf it down in one bite. Your cat, on the other hand, may turn up her nose. One possible reason for their ____________ behaviors? Cats can’t taste sweetness.

    Since they couldn’t just ask cats directly, researchers figured this out by analyzing their DNA. House cats, tigers, and cheetahs have a “broken” version of the gene Tas1r2, which works with another gene, Tas1r3, to enable sweetness detection. Though Tas1r3 appears to function perfectly fine in cats, Tas1r2 is an “unexpressed pseudogene” that’s missing 247 letters. Without them, Tas1r2 does not produce a crucial protein needed to form a receptor for sweetness on cats’ taste buds.

    To take the study a step further, they gave 25 felines the choice between a bowl of plain water and one that’d been spiked with molecules that provide umami flavor. As ___________, the cats strongly preferred the umami water, and more specifically, water containing umami compounds present in tuna. That may help explain why felines love the saltwater fish so much.

    City lawmakers in Brazil have enacted what appears to be the nation’s first legislation written entirely by artificial intelligence (AI) — even if they didn’t know it at the time.

    The experimental ordinance was passed in October in the southern city of Porto Alegre and city councilman Ramiro Rosário revealed that it was written by a chatbot, sparking objections and raising questions about the role of artificial intelligence in public policy.

    Rosário told The Associated Press that he asked OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT to craft a proposal to prevent the city from charging taxpayers to replace water consumption meters if they are stolen. He then presented it to his 35 peers on the council without making a single change or even letting them know about its unprecedented origin. The 36-member council approved it unanimously and the ordinance went into effect on Nov. 23.

    The arrival of ChatGPT on the marketplace just a year ago has sparked a global debate on the impacts of potentially revolutionary AI-powered chatbots. While some see it as a promising tool, it has also caused concerns and anxiety about the unintended or undesired impacts of a machine handling tasks currently performed by humans.

    Porto Alegre, with a population of 1.3 million, is the second-largest city in Brazil’s south. The city’s council president, Hamilton Sossmeier, found out that Rosário had enlisted ChatGPT to write the proposal when the councilman bragged about the achievement on social media. Sossmeier initially told local media he thought it was a “dangerous precedent.”

    The AI large language models that power chatbots like ChatGPT work by repeatedly trying to guess the next word in a sentence and are prone to making up false information, a phenomenon sometimes called hallucination.

    All chatbots sometimes introduce false information when summarizing a document, ranging from about 3% of the time for the most advanced GPT model to a rate of about 27% for one of Google’s models, according to recently published research by the tech company Vectara.

    In an article published on the website of Harvard Law School’s Center of Legal Profession earlier this year, Andrew Perlman, wrote that ChatGPT “is a machine learning system, it may not have the same level of understanding and judgment as a human lawyer when it comes to interpreting legal principles and precedent. This could lead to problems in situations where a more in-depth legal analysis is required”.

    There was no such transparency for Rosário’s proposal in Porto Alegre. Sossmeier said Rosário did not inform fellow council members that ChatGPT had written the proposal.

    Rosário told the AP his objective was also to spark a debate. He said he entered a 49-word prompt into ChatGPT and it returned the full draft proposal within seconds, including justifications.

    And the council president, who initially decried the method, already appears to have been swayed. “I changed my mind,” Sossmeier said. “I started to read more in depth and saw that, unfortunately or fortunately, this is going to be a trend.”

    (<https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/11/30/brazil-artificial-intelligence-porto-alegre/9f576ecc-8fb2-11ee-95e1-edd75d825df0_story.html>(adapted))
