I started on this journey of learning about my family tree many years ago back in 2015. I struggled to find out a large amount of information about my ancestors until 2018. 2018 was when I found out about my ancestry in a more advanced level. I understood the identities of many of my ancestors beyond my great grandparents. Discoveries my relatives worldwide have been a blessing too. Everything wasn't going to be the same again. From 2018 to the present in 2026, I learned about my family history even before the year of 1800. In these times, my knowledge about RNA has increased as RNA helps to create amino acids (or the building blocks of proteins or the physical matrix of the human phenotype and various types of physics plus mathematics (like phi, consciousness, fractals, and other parts of the Universe). Reality is larger than the three-dimensional world. The Universe and reality in general are filled with many wavelengths, quarks, atoms, and other structures of life like carbon. We can't see every aspect of reality with our eyes alone. For example, you can't see atoms as they are too small in size. There are other electromagnetic waves that can't be seen by the human eyes too. In fact, all reality is made up of electromagnetic frequencies, mathematical laws, various codes, atoms, and patterns that spread throughout the Universe. This has been proven heavily by mainstream scientific research in our generation. During this time, genealogical research has been made by human beings to realize our ancestry found in multiple continents, many ethnic groups, and other forms of human origins (as found in African Ancestry, Ancestry.com, 23 and Me, etc.). It is certainly part of my august destiny to show the truth about my genealogy to the people. Subsequently, that goal has been successful in numerous ways. I am related to both famous and unsung human beings, but we are all equals, part of the same blood, regardless of title or background. During our lives, we always need to be reminded about the things that are most important. Friends, family, loved ones, and legitimate principles like justice, integrity, humane treatment, etc. are worth more than all of the money in the world.
One of the most well-known cities of the world is Miami, Florida. Filled with bodies of water, hotels, parties, and homes, Miami is one of the major world urban communities. It is found in the tropical environment filled with wonderful culture and vast excitement. It is a multicultural city filled with African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, Latinos, white people, Asian people, Native Americans, biracial people, multiracial people, and other human beings of all diverse backgrounds. From the music to sports (we know of the many championships that the Miami Heat won in the NBA and the undefeated season of the Miami Dolphins NFL team back in the 1970s), Miami represents the massive vitality of American society. Miami is filled with 56.07 square miles with a population of 442,241 people. Miami is the 2nd most visited city of America after New York City with over 4 million people visiting Miami in 2022. Tourism and joy are found in the city with families and other people enjoying the sun. The festive atmosphere in the Miami area has caused people of every age to experience profound happiness. Festivities, love of culture, and respect outline the characteristics of the ethos of Miami. Also, it is important to fight racism, poverty (and economic oppression in general), xenophobia, and all evil injustices in Miami plus the world too. We have quintessential hope for the future, but we reject naivete of the present. During this unique, historic times, we have to stand up for our rights and reject the evil views of fascism and authoritarianism that is embraced by the forces of evil. Goodness will always win in the end.
In 2012, Halle Berry starred as an expert diver tutor with then-husband Oliver Martinez in the thriller Dark Tide. She led an ensemble cast with Tom Hanks and Jim Broadbent in The Wachowskis' epic science fiction film Cloud Atlas in 2012. Each of the actors in the film played six different characters across a period of five centuries. Budgeted at 128.8 U.S. dollars, Cloud Atlas made 130.4 million US dollars worldwide. The film had diverse reactions among critics and audiences. It was years ahead of its time. Berry was in segment of the independent anthology comedy of Movie 43 in 2013. She had more success in the film The Call in 2013. In that film Halle Berry plays a 9-1-1 operator who received a call from a girl kidnapped by a serial killer. Berry was drawn to "the idea of being a part of a movie that was so empowering for women. We don't often get to play roles like this, where ordinary people become heroic and do something extraordinary." Manohla Dargis of The New York Times found the film to be "an effectively creepy thriller," while reviewer Dwight Brown felt that "the script gives Berry a blue-collar character she can make accessible, vulnerable and gutsy[...]." The Call was a sleeper hit, grossing US$68.6 million around the globe.
By 2014, Halle Berry signed on to star and serve as a co-executive producer in the CBS drama series Extant. She had the role of Molly Woods, an astronaut who struggled to reconnect with her husband and android son after spending 13 months in space. The show ran for two seasons until 2015, receiving largely positive reviews from critics. USA Today remarked: "She [Halle Berry] brings a dignity and gravity to Molly, a projected intelligence that allows you to buy her as an astronaut and to see what has happened to her as frightening rather than ridiculous. Berry's all in, and you float along." Also in 2014, Berry launched a new production company, 606 Films, with producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas. It is named after the Anti-Paparazzi Bill, SB 606, that the actress pushed for and which was signed into law by California Governor Jerry Brown in the fall of 2013. The new company emerged as part of a deal for Berry to work in Extant. In the stand-up comedy concert film Kevin Hart: What Now? (2016), Berry appeared as herself, opposite Kevin Hart, attending a poker game event that goes horribly wrong. She provided uncredited vocals to the song "Calling All My Lovelies" by Bruno Mars from his third studio album, 24K Magic (2016). Kidnap, an abduction thriller Berry filmed in 2014, was released in 2017. In the film, she starred as a diner waitress tailing a vehicle when her son is kidnapped by its occupants. Kidnap grossed US$34 million and garnered mixed reviews from writers, who felt that it "strays into poorly scripted exploitation too often to take advantage of its pulpy premise — or the still-impressive talents of [Berry]." She next played an agent employed by a secret American spy organization in the action comedy sequel Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017), as part of an ensemble cast, consisting of Colin Firth, Taron Egerton, Mark Strong, Julianne Moore, and Elton John. While critical response towards the film was mixed, it made US$414 million worldwide.
Alongside Daniel Craig, Berry starred as a working-class mother during the 1992 Los Angeles riots in Deniz Gamze Ergüven's drama Kings (2017). The Los Angeles rebellion of 1992 came in response to the acquittal of the officers who brutally attacked Rodney King. To this day, we are still fighting against police brutality, economic oppression, and racial injustice. The film found a limited theatrical release following its initial screening at the Toronto International Film Festival, and as part of an overall lukewarm reception, Variety noted: "It should be said that Berry has given some of the best and worst performances of the past quarter-century, but this is perhaps the only one that swings to both extremes in the same movie." Berry competed against James Corden in the first rap battle on the first episode of TBS's Drop the Mic, originally aired on October 24, 2017.
One of the most unique inventions from the A.I. movement is ChatGPT. It is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot that was created by Open AI. It was released in November 2022. It became very popular in 2024 and especially in 2025. GPT stands for generative pre-trained transformer. The goal of ChatGPT is to create text, speech and images in response to user prompts. It has been part of the new AI boom. There is an increase of rapid investment in artificial intelligence. OpenAI has its service on a freemium model. People can interact with ChatGPT via text, audio, and image prompts. This device is part of the Cloud computing platforms. ChatGPT has done some good to discover information for people and develop growth intellectual. One issue is that some people may exploit ChatGPT to promote plagiarism in schools and universities in advancing academic dishonesty. Many of the answers from ChatGPT are inaccurate or lacking in serious details. It is based in large language model of LLM technology. It can write information and debug computer ChatGPT can be used for translation and summarization tasks. It can simulate interactive environments such as a Linux terminal, a multi-user chat room, or simple text-based games like tic-tac-toe. In March 2023, OpenAI added support for plugins for ChatGPT that deals with web browsing and code interpretation and external plugins from developers (like Expedia, OpenTable, Zapier, Shopify, Slack, and Wolfam). In December 2024, OpenAI launched a new feature allowing users to call ChatGPT with a telephone for up to 15 minutes per month for free.
In 2025, OpenAI added several features to make ChatGPT more agentic (capable of autonomously performing longer tasks). In January 2025, Operator was released. It was capable of autonomously performing tasks through web browser interactions, including filling forms, placing online orders, scheduling appointments, and other browser-based tasks. It was controlling a software environment inside a virtual machine with limited internet connectivity and with safety restrictions. It struggled with complex user interfaces. In May 2025, OpenAI introduced an agent for coding named Codex. It is capable of writing software, answering codebase questions, running tests, and proposing pull requests. It is based on a fine-tuned version of OpenAI o3. It has two versions, one running in a virtual machine in the cloud, and one where the agent runs in the cloud, but performs actions on a local machine connected via API. In July 2025, OpenAI released ChatGPT agent, an AI agent that can perform multi-step tasks. Like Operator, it controls a virtual computer. It also inherits from Deep Research's ability to gather and summarize significant volumes of information. The user can interrupt tasks or provide additional instructions as needed. In September 2025, OpenAI partnered with Stripe, Inc. to release Agentic Commerce Protocol, enabling purchases through ChatGPT. At launch, the feature was limited to purchases on Etsy from US users with a payment method linked to their OpenAI account. OpenAI takes an undisclosed cut from the merchant's payment. ChatGPT has been used in finance, computer science, education, politics, and other spheres of human endeavors.
The history of Miami starts with the Native American people of the Tequestas. The Tequesta (also Tekesta, Tegesta, Chequesta, Vizcaynos) Native American tribe, at the time of first European contact, occupied an area along the southeastern Atlantic coast of Florida. They had infrequent contact with Europeans and had largely migrated by the middle of the 18th century. Miami is named after the Mayaimi, a Native American tribe that lived around Lake Okeechobee until the 17th or 18th century. The first Europeans who arrived at Miami were the Spanish. They formed a mission and small garrison among the Tequesta on the Biscayne Bay in 1567. The mission and garrison were withdrawn a couple years later. In 1743, the governor of Cuba formed another mission and garrison on Biscayne Bay. As the mission had not been approved by the Council of the Indies.
