By. Michael Blackley. PUBLISHED:. 11:29 EST, 6 October 2013. |. UPDATED:. 11:31 EST, 6 October 2013. Scotland would be more vulnerable to a catastrophic terrorist attack if Alex Salmond succeeds with his bid to break up Britain, a new report from the Ministry of Defence will claim this week. Britain’s top defence officials have produced a damning 86-page assessment of the impact that separation would have on Scotland’s security, which warns of the terrifying threat to the everyday lives of Scots. The devastating dossier will show that the tiny defence budget proposed by the SNP could heighten the risk of a terror attack which could close down the water, gas or electricity supplies to every home and business in the country. Terror risk: Scotland would be more vulnerable to a catastrophic terrorist attack if Alex Salmond succeeds with his bid to break up Britain, the report will claim. Above, Mr Salmond addresses a rally of pro-independence campaigners in Edinburgh last month. It is expected to say that a separate Scotland may also be unable to protect itself from a ‘cyber attack’ which could see criminals or rogue states raid the bank accounts of hard-working people across the country. And it will also warn that the country would face a defence jobs Armageddon, including the shutdown of Scotland’s shipyards and the mass withdrawal of private firms in the defence sector, leading to the loss of tens of thousands of vital jobs. The report will attempt to highlight the risks to a separate Scotland by showing the huge efforts already carried out to protect Scotland as part of the UK, including defence against the threat from foreign nations and terrorists and from attacks on the country’s everyday infrastructure, such as water and electricity supplies and phone and computer connections. Debate: Speaking exclusively to the Scottish Mail on Sunday, Defence Secretary Philip Hammond claimed the SNP's plans are a 'dagger poised at the heart of Scotland's industrial infrastructure' Speaking exclusively to the Scottish Mail on Sunday ahead of publication of the report on Tuesday, Defence Secretary Philip Hammond evoked the language of the battlefield by claiming that the SNP’s plans are a ‘dagger poised at the heart of Scotland’s industrial infrastructure’. He revealed that UK networks are under constant attack, with 400,000 attacks on the government’s internal systems in the last year alone. He said: ‘Everything that I’ve seen says to me that the Scottish Government isn’t really interested in defence. What it has said on defence looks like it has been made up on the back of a fag packet. ‘Those who are promoting the case for Scottish independence owe the Scottish people a proper explanation of how they would be kept safe as they go about their daily business, how their families would be kept safe and how their jobs would be protected, because the defence industry is going to be decimated by what the Scottish Government is proposing. ‘The report will show the challenge of providing security for Scottish people; security in the sense of defence but also about securing the everyday infrastructure they use in their daily lives, making sure the water supply and utilities are safe from attack, that computer networks used in the workplace are not compromised and their details vulnerable. ‘It is about the impact on Scottish industry and the Scottish industrial base and the impact on jobs and employment- and the impact on prosperity and ordinary domestic security for people across Scotland.’ The report will warn that 9000 direct jobs would be at risk at the Coulport and Faslane naval bases by the end of the decade as a result of the SNP’s intention to remove Trident from Scotland if it secures a yes vote in next year’s referendum. Rally: Thousands of pro-independence campaigners marched through Edinburgh on September 21. Pro-independence: The rally was the second of three large marches held in the run up to next year's referendum. It will also suggest that Scotland’s shipyards could lose all of their vital orders from the MOD, because it does not hand contracts to foreign countries, which could lead to the decimation of the vital shipbuilding industry. And it will say that independence could result in the mass withdrawal of private defence firms from Scotland, as they will not want to be at risk of losing MOD work. That could prove to be disastrous for the 16,000 defence jobs based in Scotland. No major defence firms have publicly stated their concerns about separation, but they have raised their concerns privately. Mr Hammond said he has urged company bosses to speak up on the risks and expects some to do so in the next year. It is a real dagger poised at the heart of Scotland's industrial infrastructure. Philip Hammond. ‘We have been making the case to the defence industry that they need to speak up,’ he said. ‘I hope that as we move through next year towards the referendum they will at least be frank with their own workforces about these issues. ‘It is thousands and thousands of jobs across Scotland at risk. It is the shipbuilding industry, it is the hi-tech industrial base – people like Selex – it is the 9000 direct jobs in Coulport and Faslane by the end of the decade that are at risk because of the Scottish Government’s threat to Faslane. 'Then of course there are the thousands and thousands of jobs in the supply chain. ‘It is a real dagger poised at the heart of Scotland’s industrial infrastructure.’ Last week, the Mail on Sunday revealed that Mr Hammond is building a new offensive ‘cyber strike force’ costing up to £500 million to stave off the threat of attacks on Britain’s systems. The spending is in addition to hundreds of millions of pounds spent every year on defensive systems. Mr Hammond said building the whole cyber defensive system from scratch in an independent Scotland would need ‘huge fixed cost investment’. He said: ‘There are significant economies of scale and it is clear that the UK is able to deliver a level of cyber protection for all the people of the United Kingdom as they go about their business and daily lives in a way that an independent Scotland would find very difficult to do, especially within the budgets that have been set out already. Cyber force: Mr Hammond poses in the top-secret bunker beneath the Ministry of Defence, from where the cyber wars of the future will be fought to starve off the threat of attacks on Britain's systems. ‘We have to be able to defend that IT infrastructure against attacks, whether from state actors, terrorists, criminal hackers, and that will become increasingly important in the future. The financial system is a regular target of cyber attackers.’ The new MOD report will be the fifth in a series of ‘Scotland Analysis’ papers produced by the UK Government to assess the implications of independence. It is will cover all areas of defence in the UK and highlight the economic and employment benefits of the industry to Scotland, as well as the damage that independence could do. It will also show how Scottish members of the armed forces can enjoy ‘varied and interesting’ careers in one of the world’s most highly-regarded forces – and warn that they might not want to leave the UK’s forces for a smaller standalone Scottish Army. Significantly, it will also highlight that existing units based in Scotland are part of the UK Armed Forces – meaning a separate Scotland could not simply ‘co-opt’ them. The report will say: ‘Personnel might very well not wish to leave the UK Armed Forces to join much smaller forces, not least because of strong bonds of loyalty. ‘From a defence perspective, the transition to independence would therefore be extremely complex, raising serious questions over how an operational capability for an independent Scottish state could be managed.’ | The Ministry of Defence has produced an 86-page report that warns of the devastating impact that Scottish independence could have on Scotland's security.

I. Because she thought her keeping silence was better for Lydia.
II. Because she didn't know how to comfort Lydia.
III. Because she was too tired to talk to Lydia.
IV. Because she couldn't cut in while Lydia was talking.
Given those answer options, answer the question: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: After a very busy afternoon,as I walked into my house,I heard the phone ringing. It was my friend Lydia,upset over an argument with her husband. My usual approach is to offer advice,but this time,exhausted from chores,I simply sat down in a chair and listened to my friend's frustration and sadness. Without the disturbance of judgment or the desire to comfort her,I stayed totally quiet while she talked. Eventually Lydia's depression eased and we said our goodbyes. The next day she phoned to thank me. "I'm so grateful for the way you helped me through this,"she said. At first I was surprised. After all,I had done nothing except be there for her. But after I had my own venting experience with another friend later that evening,I realized that my focused silence had some value. In fact,most relationship experts agree that talk is cheap;it's listening that's rare and valuable It allows you not only to hear what the other person is saying,but also to have a clear understanding of her thoughts and feelings. And for the speaker,that level of understanding translates into concern and respect. Unfortunately,listening isn't as easy as it sounds. Thanks to schedules filled with family and work,multitasking has become a barrier to listening. My tiredness may have been the only thing stopping me from folding laundry or checking my email while Lydia talked that afternoon. Another barrier to listening is our listening system:Most of us take in only about half of what's being said during a conversation,according to the International Listening Association. Research shows that we speak at 125 to 150 words per minute,yet think at 500 words a minute. Therefore,because we think much more quickly than we speak,it is easy for us to lose our concentration when listening to speakers. While it can be hard to focus at times,it's a skill worth developing. With a little practice (employing some techniques),you can become a better listener. Question: Why didn't the author give any advice to Lydia that afternoon? Answer:
A: | The author didn't give any advice to Lydia that afternoon because she was too tired to talk to Lydia. The article states that the author's usual approach is to offer advice, but this time, she was exhausted from chores and simply sat down in a chair and listened to her friend's frustration and sadness. The author's tiredness may have been the only thing stopping her from multitasking and not giving her full attention to Lydia. Therefore, the author chose to stay quiet and listen to Lydia, which eventually helped her friend ease her depression. Additionally, the article suggests that listening is a rare and valuable skill that allows one to have a clear understanding of the speaker's thoughts and feelings. Thus, the author's decision to listen to Lydia without judgment or the desire to comfort her was a valuable way to help her friend through her difficult time. |
You are an AI assistant. User will you give you a task. Your goal is to complete the task as faithfully as you can. While performing the task think step-by-step and justify your steps. | Please answer the following question: A scientist is testing chemical reactions. At first he tries mixing two chemicals together at a temperature of 85 degrees Celsius and labels it Trial A. He records the time for the reaction to complete at 2 minutes. Knowing that this isn't the temperature users at home will be combining the chemicals at he tries the reaction again at a more modest 65 degrees Celsius and labels this trial B. Noting this temperature the reaction takes almost 4 times as long which is completely unacceptable, He then gets an idea to add and enzyme designed specifically for these two chemicals and then tries the reaction at the modest 65 degrees Celsius again calling this one trial C Will the use of a enzyme designed specifically for a reaction, will it increase or decrease the activation energy required for the reactants to start reacting? Hint: Enzymes increase the rate of chemical reactions by reducing the amount of activation energy needed for reactants to start reacting. One way this can happen is modeled in the Figure below . Enzymes aren’t changed or used up in the reactions they catalyze, so they can be used to speed up the same reaction over and over again. Each enzyme is highly specific for the particular reaction is catalyzes, so enzymes are very effective. A reaction that would take many years to occur without its enzyme might occur in a split second with the enzyme. Enzymes are also very efficient, so waste products rarely form.
A: | The use of an enzyme designed specifically for a reaction will decrease the activation energy required for the reactants to start reacting. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. This means that the reactants can react more easily and quickly, resulting in a faster reaction time. In the given scenario, the scientist added an enzyme designed specifically for the two chemicals being used in the reaction. This resulted in a faster reaction time at a lower temperature, indicating that the enzyme was able to lower the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. Therefore, the use of an enzyme designed specifically for a reaction will decrease the activation energy required for the reactants to start reacting. |

The practice became prominent in the mid-20th century, particularly in North America. John Cage was one of the earliest composers to use the term and one of experimental music's primary innovators, utilizing indeterminacy techniques and seeking unknown outcomes. In France, as early as 1953, Pierre Schaeffer had begun using the term """" to describe compositional activities that incorporated tape music, musique concrète, and elektronische Musik. Also, in America, a quite distinct sense of the term was used in the late 1950s to describe computer-controlled composition associated with composers such as Lejaren Hiller. - Anthony Schmalz "Tony" Conrad (March 7, 1940 April 9, 2016) was an American avant-garde video artist, experimental filmmaker, musician, composer, sound artist, teacher, and writer. Active in a variety of media since the early 1960s, he was a pioneer of both structural film and drone music. He performed and collaborated with a wide range of artists over the course of his career, most prominently the 1960s New York experimental music collective Theatre of Eternal Music, also known as The Dream Syndicate. - John Davies Cale, OBE (born 9 March 1942) is a Welsh musician, composer, singer-songwriter and record producer who was a founding member of the American experimental rock band the Velvet Underground. - Maureen Ann "Moe" Tucker (born August 26, 1944) is an American musician and singer best known for having been the drummer for the New York City-based experimental rock band the Velvet Underground. - The Velvet Underground was an American rock band from New York City, active between 1964 and 1973.

The original Factory was on the fifth floor at 231 East 47th Street, in Midtown Manhattan. The rent was one hundred dollars per year. Warhol left in 1967 when the building was scheduled to be torn down to make way for an apartment building.

Answer: | Volcano chains are formed as an oceanic plate moves over a hot spot. A hot spot is an area of the Earth's mantle where magma rises up to the surface, creating a volcanic eruption. As the oceanic plate moves over the hot spot, a chain of volcanoes is formed. The magma from the hot spot rises up through the oceanic crust, creating a series of underwater volcanoes. Over time, as the plate continues to move, the volcanoes become inactive and eventually sink below the surface of the ocean. New volcanoes then form over the hot spot, creating a chain of volcanoes that can stretch for thousands of miles. The Hawaiian Islands are a prime example of a volcano chain formed by a hot spot. As the Pacific Plate moves over the Hawaiian hot spot, a chain of volcanoes has formed, with the youngest and most active volcano being Kilauea on the Big Island of Hawaii. |

Choose the most suitable option to answer the above question. Options: - moon - sea - beach - sun - desktop
| The most suitable option to answer the above question is "sea". The sunshine was quickly burning up the crew, and it seemed to not only beat down from above but also from below by reflecting off the sea. This is a common phenomenon that occurs when sunlight hits the surface of the sea, causing it to reflect and intensify the heat. This can be particularly uncomfortable for those on board a ship or boat, as they are surrounded by the sea and have no escape from the heat. The reflection of the sun off the sea can also cause glare, making it difficult to see and navigate. Therefore, it is important for those spending time on the sea to take precautions such as wearing protective clothing, staying hydrated, and seeking shade when possible to avoid the harmful effects of the sun and sea. |

Your task is to find the correct answer based on scientific facts, knowledge, and reasoning. Do not generate anything else apart from one of the following characters: 'A', 'B, 'C', 'D'. There is only one correct answer for each question.
All natural resources on Earth are either renewable or nonrenewable. Whether a resource is renewable or nonrenewable depends on how fast or slow the resource is replaced. If the resource is used faster than it is replaced, then the resource will, in time, disappear. Which statement describes the use of a renewable natural resource?
(A) A home burns natural gas for heat. (B) A city burns coal to generate electricity. (C) A farmer plants different types of crops to protect the soil. (D) A construction crew builds a road from rock, sand, and gravel. | The correct answer is (C) A farmer plants different types of crops to protect the soil.
This is because a renewable resource is one that can be replenished or replaced at the same rate or faster than it is being used. In the case of the farmer planting different types of crops, this is an example of sustainable agriculture, where the crops are grown and harvested in a way that does not deplete the soil or other resources. The crops can be replanted each year, and the soil can be enriched with nutrients to continue to support the growth of crops.
On the other hand, options (A), (B), and (D) describe the use of nonrenewable resources. Natural gas, coal, and rock, sand, and gravel are all finite resources that are being used faster than they are being replaced. Eventually, these resources will run out, and alternative sources of energy or materials will need to be found. |

NHOF: Wallace Happily Surprised By Selection
In a hotly debated election day, no one was more surprised to be voted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame than 1989 Sprint Cup champion Rusty Wallace.
Wallace joined Herb Thomas, Leonard Wood, Cotton Owens and Buck Baker in making it into the 2013 NASCAR Hall of Fame class. Wallace certainly has the resume. His 55 Cup race victories rank him ninth all time, with the eight ahead of him all either already in the NASCAR Hall or still active and therefore ineligible.
What was surprising, though — or at least surprising to Wallace — was that he made it in during his first year of eligibility. Of the others, Thomas and Baker had been on the list of finalists since the inaugural class of 2010, with Owens and Wood first nominated for the 2012 class. But 2013 is Wallace’s first year of eligibility and he made it in the first time.
“All I can tell you is I’m glad to get in, and I didn’t expect to get in in the first round,” said Wallace. “There’s huge names — I honestly didn’t.”
Wallace was so wound up before the event he said he left the NASCAR Hall briefly prior to the announcement. “I left a little while ago and I went down to the Ritz-Carlton and had a glass of wine just to calm down, ‘cause I didn’t know what I was going to say.”
Understandably, Wallace was emotional about being selected.
“I’m totally humbled, I really am,” he said. “I’m blowed away. I’m so happy, it’s unreal. ... I almost feel like Jesse James. I felt like I robbed a bank and pulled off with something, ‘cause there’s so many heroes out there that need to get in.”
Asked how surprised he was by the honor, Wallace said, “I was numb. I was just, like, looking and going ‘What?’ Usually, if you think you’re going to get in, your name is going to get read last. But they read my name third and I went, ‘What?’ That really was a surprise.”
All in all, it was a huge night for Wallace.
“I’m happy,” he said. “I’m so happy. I’m going to lay in bed tonight and just stare at the ceiling and just go, ‘Are you awake? Is this real?’”

A campaign to stop children getting killed on farms is being run to coincide with the school holidays.
Article: | Hey there little one! Did you know that farms can be a fun place to visit during the school holidays? You get to see all sorts of animals and learn about how food is grown. But did you also know that farms can be dangerous places for children? That's why a special campaign is being run to help keep kids safe.
The campaign is all about making sure that children don't get hurt or killed while visiting farms. Farms can have big machines, deep ponds, and even dangerous animals like bulls. It's important for kids to know how to stay safe around these things.
The campaign is being run by a group of people who want to make sure that everyone knows how to stay safe on farms. They are putting up signs and posters to remind people of the dangers, and they are also giving out information to parents and children.
So, what can you do to stay safe on a farm? First of all, always listen to the grown-ups who are with you. They will tell you where it's safe to go and what to stay away from. You should also wear sturdy shoes and clothes that cover your arms and legs. This will help protect you if you accidentally fall or get scratched by something.
Remember, farms can be fun places to visit, but it's important to stay safe. So, if you're planning on visiting a farm during the school holidays, make sure you know how to stay safe and always listen to the grown-ups who are with you. |

That provision of the Constitution is made specific by Section 331 of Title 31 of the United States Code. The sums of money reported in the "Statements" are currently being expressed in U.S. dollars (for example, see the 2009 Financial Report of the United States Government). The U.S. dollar may therefore be described as the unit of account of the United States.
Answer this question, if possible (if impossible, reply "unanswerable"): What is the unit of account of the United States? | The unit of account of the United States is the U.S. dollar. This designation is derived from the Constitution, which mandates that a regular statement and account of the receipts and expenditures of all public money be published. This provision is further specified in Section 331 of Title 31 of the United States Code. As a result, the U.S. dollar is the currency in which the sums of money reported in these statements are expressed.
The U.S. dollar has been the official currency of the United States since the Coinage Act of 1792. It is widely accepted as the medium of exchange for goods and services within the country. The U.S. dollar is also recognized as a global reserve currency, meaning it is held in significant quantities by central banks and other financial institutions around the world.
The use of the U.S. dollar as the unit of account has several implications. Firstly, it provides a standardized measure for financial transactions and economic indicators within the United States. This allows for consistency and comparability in assessing the country's economic performance and fiscal health.
Additionally, the U.S. dollar's status as the unit of account facilitates transparency and accountability in the management of public funds. By expressing the receipts and expenditures of public money in a common currency, it enables the government to provide clear and comprehensive financial reports to the public. This promotes transparency and helps ensure that the government's financial activities are accessible and understandable to the citizens.
Moreover, the U.S. dollar's role as the unit of account has significant implications for international trade and finance. As a global reserve currency, it is widely used in international transactions, including trade, investment, and foreign exchange markets. Its stability and widespread acceptance make it a preferred currency for conducting business globally.
In conclusion, the U.S. dollar serves as the unit of account of the United States. This designation is rooted in the Constitution and further specified in the United States Code. The use of the U.S. dollar as the unit of account provides a standardized measure for financial transactions, promotes transparency in the management of public funds, and facilitates international trade and finance. |

You must generate a detailed and long answer. | Question: A friend asked me to answer this question: What members partied and used cocaine for much of the recording sessions??, using the article: Rumours is the eleventh studio album by Anglo-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 4 February 1977 by Warner Bros. Records. Largely recorded in California in 1976, it was produced by the band with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut. The band wanted to expand on the commercial success of their eponymous 1975 album, but struggled with relationship breakups before recording started. The Rumours studio sessions were marked by hedonistic behaviour and interpersonal strife among band members, which shaped the album's lyrics. Recorded with the intention of making "a pop album", the album's music featured a pop rock and soft rock sound characterized by accented rhythms and electric keyboards such as the Fender Rhodes or Hammond B3 organ. The members partied and used cocaine for much of the recording sessions, and its completion was delayed by its mixing process, but was finished by the end of 1976. Following the album's release, Fleetwood Mac undertook worldwide promotional tours. Rumours reached the top of both the US Billboard 200 and the United Kingdom Albums Chart, and became the band's most successful release. The songs "Go Your Own Way", "Dreams", "Don't Stop", and "You Make Loving Fun" were released as singles, all of which reached the US top 10. Having won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1978, Rumours has since sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time, and has received diamond certifications in several countries, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. The album garnered widespread acclaim from critics, with praise centred on its production quality and harmonies, which frequently relied on the interplay among three vocalists and has inspired the work of musical acts in different genres. Often considered Fleetwood Mac's best release, it has featured in several publications' lists of the best albums of the 1970s and of all time. In 2004, Rumours was remastered and reissued with the addition of "Silver Springs", which had been excluded..., what would be the answer ?

UPDATED:. 11:00 EST, 8 September 2012. Like a woman at the mechanic, apparently she is just as clueless when it comes to the big, bad world of the internet. Not knowing Google from gigabytes and an email from an envelope, womankind now have the remedy to cure a case of online ignorance in a series of self-help books made just for women. The book series - available only in French - includes titles such as Internet Pour Les Nulles, which can be translated to 'Internet For Women Dummies,' targets women because apparently they need extra help managing the tricky terrain of computer hardware, software and the internet. Not knowing Google from gigabytes: A series of self-help books in French explains the internet, Macs and PCs for 'women dummies' With a tag line which translates to ‘With the Dummettes, you will no longer have anything to be jealous of men for!’ it seems women can sleep easy knowing their computer will not swallow them whole. A translation of the publisher’s summary reads: ‘Practical tips for surfing the web, communicate using email, make purchases or payments securely online, create a blog or manage photographs.’ ‘Maybe you will ask why a book on the Mac specifically dedicated to women… we give you all the advice to start surfing with confidence, communicate with all your friends through messaging, make your purchase safely, and why not, for the most daring of you, create your blog to show your beliefs loud and clear on the web!’ Clueless on computer: The internet self-help book carries the tag line 'With the Dummettes, you will no longer have anything to be jealous of men for!' The series by Françoise Otwaschkau covers PCs, Macs and the internet. While these French self-help books might not quite find their market in the UK, self-improvement books have reached cult status in Britain. While UK book sales were down recently by 1 per cent overall, sales of self-help books for the same period soared by 25 per cent. It is estimated that the cult of self-help has earned publishers some £60 million in the past five years. Obsessed with self-help: Renee Zellweger as Bridget Jones mirrors the cult status of self-help book in the UK which has earnt publishers some £60million in the past five years. In America, the self-help market is worth more than $10 billion (£6 billion) a year. It is 75 years since a man called Dale Carnegie sat down to write How to Win Friends And Influence People, widely regarded as the very first self-help book. First published in 1937, it has sold over 15 million copies, is still in print today and is the cornerstone of a billion-pound global industry that fixates on human unease and lack of confidence.

Answer the above question based on the context below: In 1924, Monteux began a ten-year association with the Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, serving as "first conductor" ("eerste dirigent") alongside Willem Mengelberg, its long-serving chief conductor. The two musicians liked and respected one another, despite the difference in their approach to music-making: Monteux was scrupulous in his adherence to a composer's score and straightforward in his performances, while Mengelberg was well known for his virtuoso, sometimes wilful, interpretations and his cavalier attitude to the score ("Ve vill make some changements", as an English player quoted him). Their preferred repertoire overlapped in some of the classics, but Mengelberg had his own favourites from Bach's St. Matthew Passion to Mahler symphonies, and was happy to leave Debussy and Stravinsky to Monteux. Where their choices coincided, as in Beethoven, Brahms and Richard Strauss, Mengelberg was generous in giving Monteux at least his fair share of them.While in Amsterdam Monteux conducted a number of operas, including Pelléas et Mélisande (its Dutch premiere), Carmen, Les Contes d'Hoffmann, a Lully and Ravel double bill of Acis et Galatée and L'Heure espagnole, Gluck's Iphigénie en Tauride (also brought to the Paris Opéra) and Verdi's Falstaff. Toscanini had been invited to conduct the last of these, but he told the promoters that Monteux was his dearest colleague and the best conductor for Falstaff.During the first eight years of his association with the Concertgebouw, Monteux conducted between fifty and sixty concerts each season. In his final two years with the orchestra other conductors, notably the rising young Dutchman Eduard van Beinum, were allocated concerts that would previously have been given to Monteux, who amicably withdrew from his position in Amsterdam in 1934. He returned many times as a guest conductor.
The answer is: | The rising conductor who was given concerts usually given to the man who conducted between fifty and sixty concerts each season was not explicitly mentioned in the given context. However, the context does provide information about the conductors who were associated with the Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam during the 1920s and 1930s.

Article: | The ancient world never ceases to amaze us with its architectural wonders. One such wonder is the 3,700-year-old wall made of boulders weighing 4 to 5 tons. The wall stands tall at 26 feet and is believed to have been built by the Canaanites.
Archaeologists are baffled by the construction of this wall. "I don't know how to do it today without mechanical equipment," says one archaeologist. The sheer size and weight of the boulders used in the construction of the wall make it a marvel of engineering.
The wall appears to have been used to defend a path that led to a spring. The Canaanites were known for their advanced water management systems, and this wall could have been a part of their efforts to protect their water sources.
The Canaanites were a Semitic-speaking people who inhabited the ancient Levant region. They were known for their advanced civilization and were skilled in various fields such as agriculture, metallurgy, and architecture. The construction of this wall is a testament to their engineering prowess.
The wall has stood the test of time and has survived for over 3,700 years. It is a reminder of the rich history and culture of the Canaanites. The wall is a valuable archaeological find and provides insights into the lives of the people who lived in the ancient Levant region.
In conclusion, the 3,700-year-old wall made of boulders weighing 4 to 5 tons is a marvel of engineering and a testament to the advanced civilization of the Canaanites. The wall's purpose was to defend a path that led to a spring, and it has survived for over 3,700 years. The wall is a valuable archaeological find and provides insights into the lives of the people who lived in the ancient Levant region. |

What the new NAEP test results really tell us
Someone should be printing up a T-shirt about now that says: “My nation spent billions on testing and all I got was a 1-point gain.”
Here’s what the newly released scores for the 2011 administration of the National Assessment of Educational Progress show for fourth and eighth graders in reading and math, on a 500-point scale:
— In math, fourth and eighth graders scored on average 1 percentage point higher this year in 2009. Both grades scored more than 20 points higher this year than in 1990 (when the test was first given).
— In reading, fourth-grade scores did not change from two years ago but were four points higher than in 1992, when the reading test was first given. Eighth-graders scored on average 1 point higher this year than two years ago, and 5 points higher than in 1992.
— Asian students, this year for the first time in their own category, had the highest scores of any single group.
— The overall achievement gap between white and black students showed no real change over the last two years and it remains wide. There persists, according to the NAEP scores, a 25-point gap in reading in both tested grades and in math among fourth graders.
— The gap between Hispanic eighth graders and white students in reading and math closed slightly. It went from from 24 points in 2009 to 22 points this year; in 1992, it was 26 points.
— D.C. public schools reported gains in 4th and 8th grade mathematics.
— Some states trumpeted as being models for school reform — reform that involves plenty of tests and punitive action against low-performing schools — didn’t do so well in this administration of NAEP.
Louisiana, for example, may boast that it was one of only three states to increase the number of students who scored proficient, but three times as many of those students are white than black, and there was no significant change in the achievement gap.
New York, where former superintendent Joel Klein helped lead the test-based school reform movement, “was the only state to score lower in math among fourth-graders from 2009 to 2011,” the Associated Press reported.
Since closing the achievement gap was the goal of No Child Left Behind, which went into effect a decade ago under the administration of former president George W. Bush, the NAEP results tell us that it was an abject failure.
Under NCLB, the high-stakes standardized test became supreme in school reform for purposes of evaluating schools and students — and, now, under the Obama administration, teachers as well — and still, the achievement gap remains stubborn. In fact, trend lines show that NAEP gains were bigger before NCLB.
That, of course, is no surprise to those who recognize that all of the money in the world spent on tests and test prep and test-based evaluation systems won’t make a real dent in the gap because they aren’t the cure.
With nearly 22 percent of the nation’s children living in poverty, and with school reformers insisting that the effects of living in poverty can be overcome by schools without actually dealing with those effects — sickness, hunger, no early education, etc. — the gap will remain. It’s not rocket science.
NAEP is often called the nation’s report card because it is the only measure of student achievement given periodically to a sampling of students around the nation. It is also seen as a high-quality test that tells us more about a student’s ability than state standardized tests.
Still, it is important to remember that even NAEP has its critics, some of whom point out that the test cannot measure many of the qualities students must develop to be successful, and others who say that the NAEP definition of “proficiency” is unnaturally high.
In fact, one study conducted by a former acting director of the National Center for Education Statistics showed that most of the countries that participate in the international tests called TIMSS would not do well under NAEP’s definition of proficiency.
It may be time to reconsider just how much stock we put in the NAEP scores.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan called the NAEP results “reason for concern as much as optimism.”
“While student achievement is up since 2009 in both grades in mathematics and in 8th grade reading, it’s clear that achievement is not accelerating fast enough for our nation’s children to compete in the knowledge economy of the 21st Century. After significant NAEP gains in the 1990s, particularly in mathematics, the 2011 results continue a pattern of modest progress.
“While the national scores are sobering, individual states and districts are leading the way. Between 2009 and 2011, students in the District of Columbia recorded significant gains in 4th and 8th grade mathematics. While this is important progress, student achievement in the District of Columbia is still too low. Like the rest of the nation, the District of Columbia has to invest in reforms that prepare all students for college and careers.”
Unfortunately, the Obama administration is still pressing the kinds of reforms that aren’t going to help this situation.

Summary: | The newly released scores for the 2011 administration of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) show that fourth and eighth graders in the United States scored on average 1 percentage point higher in math compared to 2009. Both grades also scored more than 20 points higher this year than in 1990. In reading, fourth-grade scores did not change from two years ago but were four points higher than in 1992. Eighth-graders scored on average 1 point higher this year than two years ago, and 5 points higher than in 1992. Asian students had the highest scores of any single group. The overall achievement gap between white and black students showed no real change over the last two years and remains wide. The gap between Hispanic eighth graders and white students in reading and math closed slightly. Some states that were touted as models for school reform did not perform well in this administration of NAEP. The results suggest that the No Child Left Behind Act, which aimed to close the achievement gap, has been an abject failure. The article argues that the achievement gap cannot be closed solely through testing and test-based evaluation systems, as poverty and its effects on students play a significant role. The article concludes by suggesting that the NAEP scores should be reconsidered as a measure of student achievement. |

As of September 2014, the greater Atlantic City area has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country at 13.8%, out of labor force of around 141,000.
Q: Out of a labor force of about 141,000 what was the unemployment rate? | The unemployment rate in the greater Atlantic City area as of September 2014 was 13.8%. This means that out of a labor force of around 141,000 people, approximately 19,458 individuals were unemployed. To calculate this, we can use the formula:
Unemployment Rate = (Number of Unemployed / Labor Force) x 100%
Plugging in the given values, we get:
Unemployment Rate = (19,458 / 141,000) x 100%
Unemployment Rate = 0.138 x 100%
Unemployment Rate = 13.8%
Therefore, the unemployment rate out of a labor force of about 141,000 in the greater Atlantic City area was 13.8%. |

He had the back of the hospital bed cranked upright, the lower lid of his left eye creeping up in a warning signal I'd learned to recognize as a child. My older sister Ann had settled deep in the recliner, and she glared at me too, blaming me for winding him up. The jam box sat on the rolling tray table and my father was working the remote as he talked, backing up my newly burned CD and letting it spin forward to play a few seconds of low fidelity trombone solo. "You know the tune, of course," he said. "'King Porter Stomp.'" Those childhood years of listening to him play Glenn Miller on the console phonograph were finally paying off. "He muffed the notes the same way on the Victor version." "So why can't it be Miller?" I asked. "He wouldn't have played with a rabble like that." The backup musicians teetered on the edge of chaos, playing with an abandon somewhere between Dixieland and bebop. "They sound drunk." My father had a major emotional investment in Miller. He and my mother had danced to the Miller band at Glen Island Casino on Long Island Sound in the summer of 1942, when they were both sixteen. That signature sound of clarinet and four saxes was forever tied up for him with first love and the early, idealistic months of the war. But there was a better reason why it couldn't have been Miller playing that solo. If the date on the original recording was correct, he was supposed to have died three days earlier. The date was in India ink on a piece of surgical tape, stuck to the top of a spool of recording wire. The handwritten numerals had the hooks and day-first order of Europe: 18/12/44. I'd won it on eBay the week before as part of a lot that included a wire recorder and a stack of 78s by French pop stars like Charles Trenent and Edith Piaf. According to the above context, answer the following question. What state is the narrator in after this conversation?
A: | Based on the context provided, it is difficult to determine the exact state of the narrator after this conversation. However, it can be inferred that the narrator may be feeling a mix of confusion, disbelief, and curiosity. The mention of the father's warning signal and the sister's glare suggests that the narrator may have unintentionally upset or irritated them. Additionally, the narrator's comment about the backup musicians sounding drunk indicates a sense of skepticism or doubt. Overall, the narrator's emotions may range from surprise to intrigue as they contemplate the possibility of Glenn Miller playing on the CD despite his supposed death. |

While performing the task think step-by-step and justify your steps. | Question: Process: - Coal is mined out of the ground - Coal is pulverized into fine powder - The coal is mixed with hot air - The coal and hot air are blown into a boiler - The coal and hot air burn over a fire - Highly purified water is pumped through pipes in the boiler - The water turns into steam - The steam presses against turbines - The turbines spin - Electricity is produced. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose installing scrubbers for the factories happens, how will it affect more coal mixed with hot air. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: | The installation of scrubbers in factories is aimed at reducing the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere. It is not directly related to the process of coal combustion in power plants. However, it can indirectly affect the process by reducing the amount of pollutants that are released into the air during the combustion of coal.
When coal is burned in a boiler, it produces a variety of pollutants, including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. These pollutants can have harmful effects on human health and the environment. Scrubbers are designed to remove these pollutants from the flue gas before it is released into the atmosphere.
If scrubbers are installed in factories, it will reduce the amount of pollutants that are released into the air. This will lead to a reduction in the amount of pollution that is carried by the air to the power plants. As a result, the coal and hot air that are blown into the boiler will contain less pollution. This may lead to a reduction in the amount of ash and other impurities that are produced during the combustion of coal.
However, it is important to note that the installation of scrubbers in factories will not directly affect the amount of coal that is mixed with hot air in the power plants. This is because the amount of coal that is used in power plants is determined by the demand for electricity, which is not directly related to the installation of scrubbers in factories. |

If you cannot clearly ascertain agreement/disagreement between the two sentences, the label is ' B_neutral_A'.
sentence_A: Two large persons are sitting on a park bench and they have a bottle of soda between them. sentence_B: Two large persons are standing near a park bench and they have nothing between them | The task requires us to classify the relation between two input sentences. In this case, we have sentence_A and sentence_B. We need to determine whether sentence_B has a similar meaning to sentence_A, or if it has the opposite meaning, or if we cannot clearly ascertain agreement/disagreement between the two sentences.
To solve this task, we need to compare the two sentences and identify any similarities or differences in their meaning. We can do this by analyzing the words and phrases used in each sentence and their context.
In sentence_A, we have two large persons sitting on a park bench and sharing a bottle of soda. In sentence_B, we have two large persons standing near a park bench and not sharing anything between them.
Based on this analysis, we can see that there are some differences between the two sentences. While both sentences mention two large persons and a park bench, the actions and objects involved are different. In sentence_A, the persons are sitting and sharing a bottle of soda, while in sentence_B, they are standing and not sharing anything.
Therefore, we can classify the relation between the two sentences as 'B_neutral_A', as we cannot clearly ascertain agreement/disagreement between the two sentences. |

While performing the task think step-by-step and justify your steps. | Here is a news article: Some people just cannot do anything right. Take the world’s greatest playwright, William Shakespeare. Centuries after he made his name, he is being blamed for bringing misery to millions. Not, as some might expect, from being forced to study his works at school, but for suffering stigma over unsightly skin.
In what is a departure from the numerous studies looking at everything from leprosy to skin cancer, medical experts are claiming that Shakespeare’s success has resulted in a painful legacy for people will skin disease.
The playwright is the subject of new research being revealed to hundreds of doctors during the annual conference of the British Association of Dermatologists.
The rash of Shakespearean insults based on people’s appearance, whether it is King Lear branding his daughter Goneril “an embossed carbuncle” or a prostitute calling a soldier a “scurvy companion” in Henry IV part II, is cited as a cause of the continuing persecution of people for the way they look.
In a paper entitled "Is Shakespeare to blame for the negative connotations of skin disease?", British researchers from the universities of Nottingham, Leicester and Derby claim that Shakespeare reflected the Elizabethan obsession with flawless pale skin, and while he “may not have accepted Elizabethan society’s negativity towards skin disease, it can be argued that his success has led to its perpetuation”.
Dr Catriona Wootton, a dermatologist at Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham, and co-author of the study, said: "Elizabethan London was a melting pot for diseases such as plague, syphilis and smallpox. Many of the diseases of the time involved lesions or sores on the skin, so skin imperfections were seen as a warning sign for contagious disease.” Shakespeare used these “negative undertones to his advantage, employing physical idiosyncrasies in his characters to signify foibles in their behaviour,” she added.
A spokesperson for the British Association of Dermatologists said: “Much of the Elizabethan stigma over disfiguring skin disease still persists today. Even now, many examples exist in films and literature where visible disfigurements are used to represent villainy or malice. Nobody is suggesting that we edit Shakespeare but maybe we should ensure that new films and books don't reinforce this stereotype."
But fans of the playwright are rallying to his defence. Stuart Hampton-Reeves, head of the British Shakespeare Association, told The Independent: “Shakespeare was a product of his era so we cannot expect him to confirm to modern attitudes and it is far-fetched to blame modern day prejudices on Shakespeare's works.”
And Professor Michael Dobson, the director of Birmingham University’s Shakespeare Institute, said: “Has any writer in history ever suggested that the symptoms of skin disease are attractive? And have audiences for the last 400 years really been coming out of theatres saying ‘Ah yes – I’d nearly forgotten – pox is to be avoided. What a genius Shakespeare was!’ Next week: has the fairy tale of Snow White been creating a misleadingly favourable impression of dwarfism?”
Pox, carbuncles and plague: Shakespeare's lack of skin care
Some of Shakespeare’s most memorable lines are insults over people’s appearance. Take King Lear for instance, when the beleaguered monarch berates his daughter Goneril: “Thou art a boil, a plague sore, an embossed carbuncle”.
From phrases like “scurvy knave” used in Romeo and Juliet, to “a pox upon him” in All's Well That Ends Well and “foul moles and eye-offending marks” in King John, skin problems are referenced throughout Shakespeare’s plays.
In Henry IV part I, a man with a red nose is dubbed “an everlasting bonfire-light” and “knight of the burning lamp”. And in Coriolanus, Marcius (Coriolanus) curses his enemies: “Boils and plagues Plaster you o'er, that you may be abhorr'd.”
Herpes is alluded to in A Winter’s Tale: “If I prove honey mouthed let my tongue blister”. While in A Midsummer's Night Dream, a blessing to young couples includes the line: “Never mole, hare-lip nor scar... shall upon their children be”. ||||| Shakespeare may be partly to blame for the social stigma associated with disfiguring skin conditions, say experts.
They point to memorable insults in his plays that refer to skin blemishes and scarring, reflecting an Elizabethan obsession with flawless pale complexions.
One of the most graphic occurs when King Lear launches into his scheming daughter Goneril, declaring: ''Thou art a boil, a plague sore, an embossed carbuncle''.
Other examples include use of the phases ''a pox upon him'' in All's Well That Ends Well and ''scurvy knave'' in Romeo and Juliet, while in Henry IV part one a man's red nose is described as ''an everlasting bonfire light''.
Marcius Coriolanus wishes ''boils and plagues'' upon his enemies, and a young couple in A Midsummer's Night Dream are exhorted to have children with ''never mole, hare lip nor scar..''
Dermatologist Dr Catriona Wootton, from Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham, who took part in a language analysis of Shakespeare's plays, said: ''Rat-infested and with open sewers, overcrowding and sexual promiscuity, Elizabethan London was a melting pot for diseases such as plague, syphilis and smallpox.
''Many of the diseases of the time involved lesions or sores on the skin, so skin imperfections were seen as a warning sign for contagious disease. This was not limited to signs of infection, but to any blemishes or moles, which were considered ugly and signs of witchcraft or devilry.
''Shakespeare uses these negative undertones to his advantage, employing physical idiosyncrasies in his characters to signify foibles in their behaviour.''
The researchers argue that the Bard's colourful language has helped to perpetuate negative attitudes towards imperfect skin.
Nina Goad, from the British Association of Dermatologists, said: ''It is interesting to note that much of the Elizabethan stigma over disfiguring skin disease still persists today. Over the last few decades dermatologists have tried to address the effect this can have on patients. However, even now, many examples exist in films and literature where visible disfigurements are used to represent villainy or malice.
''This is particularly concerning when such films are aimed at children, who learn that beautiful, flawless people are kind and trustworthy, and scarred or blemished people are to be feared.
''Nobody is suggesting that we edit Shakespeare, but maybe we should ensure that new films and books don't reinforce this stereotype. Many skin patients require psychological support to deal with the visual aspect of their disease.''
The findings were presented at the British Association of Dermatologists' annual conference in Glasgow.
ends ||||| A new study by British dermatologists draws a connection between the bad attitude shown towards skin conditions in Shakespeare's works and the way we think of it today.
Do we have a negative view of acne because of the writings of Shakespeare?
A study by dermatologists in the UK recently examined whether our culture views skin blemishes negatively because of the amount of negative writings in Shakespeare’s plays about skin conditions.
“While Shakespeare may not have accepted Elizabethan society’s negativity towards skin disease, it can be argued that his success has led to its perpetuation,” the study reads.
The dermatologists note that many of the Bard’s works include people insulting others by mentioning skin conditions or by trying to curse someone with a skin affliction. A character says he wishes “a pox upon” another character in “All’s Well That Ends Well,” while in the text of “King John,” one character says that if another was “patch’d with foul moles and eye-offending marks, then I should not love thee, nor thou become thy great birth, nor deserve a crown.” However, they write that the playwright does say in “Hamlet” that those with skin conditions are not evil because of them, writing, “that for some vicious mole of nature in them, as in their birth – wherein they are not guilty, since nature cannot choose hisorigin – their virtues else, be they as pure as grace, as infinite as man may undergo, shall in general censure take corruption from that particular fault.”
Fear of those with skin conditions arose from the dangers of diseases like the plague, write the dermatologists.
“Tell-tale cutaneous signs heightened the fear of contagion,” they wrote.
According to the Telegraph, British Association of Dermatologists member Nina Goad urged that the attitude not be passed down to future generations.
“Even now, many examples exist in films and literature where visible disfigurements are used to represent villainy or malice,” she said. “This is particularly concerning when such films are aimed at children, who learn that beautiful, flawless people are kind and trustworthy, and scarred or blemished people are to be feared. Nobody is suggesting that we edit Shakespeare, but maybe we should ensure that new films and books don't reinforce this stereotype.”
However, some are doubtful of the dermatologists’ connection between Shakespeare and fear of skin afflictions. Guardian writer Alison Flood wrote that she found the conclusion “a stretch.”
“It sort of assumes we might not have noticed that skin diseases aren't exactly the most pleasant thing in the world, if it wasn't for Mercutio gasping ‘A plague on both your houses,’” she wrote. |||||
A summary of this is? | A new study by British dermatologists suggests that Shakespeare's works have contributed to the negative attitudes towards skin diseases. The study claims that Shakespeare reflected the Elizabethan obsession with flawless pale skin, and while he may not have accepted Elizabethan society's negativity towards skin disease, it can be argued that his success has led to its perpetuation. The researchers argue that the Bard's colourful language has helped to perpetuate negative attitudes towards imperfect skin. However, some experts are doubtful of the dermatologists' connection between Shakespeare and fear of skin afflictions. |

Solve 6*s = -676 + 706 for s. | Sure, I can help you solve this math problem step-by-step.
The given equation is:
6*s = -676 + 706
To solve for s, we need to isolate s on one side of the equation.
First, we can simplify the right-hand side of the equation:
-676 + 706 = 30
Now, we have:
6*s = 30
To isolate s, we can divide both sides of the equation by 6:
6*s/6 = 30/6
s = 5
Therefore, the solution to the equation 6*s = -676 + 706 is s = 5. |

Options:
- town
- las vegas
- metropolitan area
- resort
- city Let's give stream of consciousness first: | Okay, here's my stream of consciousness:
Hmm, the fact that the vacation price included both the hotel and meals narrows down the options a bit. It sounds like the person was looking for a package deal that would cover both accommodations and food.
Las Vegas is certainly a popular destination for package deals like this, but so are many resort towns and metropolitan areas. It really depends on what the person was looking for in their vacation.
If they wanted a lot of entertainment options and a lively atmosphere, Las Vegas might be the best choice. If they were looking for a more relaxed, beachy vibe, a resort town could be a good fit. And if they wanted a mix of city life and outdoor activities, a metropolitan area might be the way to go.
Without more information, it's hard to say for sure which option the person picked. But my best guess would be that they chose a resort, since that's often where you'll find package deals that include both hotel and meals. |

Options: - intention - getting in the front of the line - basic organization - early childhood socialization - patience The answer is "patience" because
Answer: | Getting in line for a long time can be a frustrating experience for many people. It requires a certain level of patience to be able to wait in line without becoming agitated or irritated. Patience is the ability to remain calm and composed in the face of delay, frustration, or adversity. It is a valuable trait that allows individuals to persevere through difficult situations and achieve their goals.
When waiting in line, patience is essential because it helps individuals to maintain a positive attitude and avoid becoming angry or upset. It allows them to focus on the end goal and remain motivated to reach it, even if it takes longer than expected. Without patience, waiting in line can become a stressful and unpleasant experience, leading to negative emotions and potentially even conflict with others in the line.
In addition to patience, getting in line for a long time may also require basic organization skills, such as knowing where to stand and how to move forward as the line progresses. Early childhood socialization may also play a role in an individual's ability to wait in line, as it can help to develop social skills and an understanding of social norms and expectations.
Overall, while getting in line for a long time may require a variety of skills and traits, patience is perhaps the most important. It allows individuals to remain calm and focused, even in the face of frustration and delay, and ultimately helps them to achieve their goals. |

California voters have decided to repair the state's dysfunctional death penalty by speeding up appeals. A measure to reform capital punishment continued to hold... (Associated Press)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — After condemning the most vicious murderers to death for nearly 40 years, but rarely seeing them meet that fate, California voters said enough.
Two weeks after rejecting an effort to toss out the death penalty, a dueling measure designed to speed up appeals so killers are actually executed won a narrow victory Tuesday with 51 percent of support.
In passing Proposition 66, California joined two conservative states in support of capital punishment on Election Day, bucking a pattern of states that have abolished the death penalty in recent years.
"Voters want to ensure that victims' families receive the justice they want and deserve," Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert said in a statement. "The reforms outlined in Prop. 66 are smart fixes that will eradicate waste, delays and inefficiencies while protecting due process for all those who are given the ultimate sentence of death."
The ballot initiative was proposed to "mend not end" capital punishment after 52 percent of voters rejected a similar repeal measure in 2012. The repeal effort this year was rejected by 54 percent of voters.
Backers on both sides of the contentious issue agreed the current system was broken. More than 900 convicted killers have been sent to death row since the death penalty was reinstated, but only 13 have been executed in the state since 1978. The last execution by lethal injection was more than a decade ago and 750 killers languish on death row.
The two death penalty measures drove massive spending on both sides.
Law enforcement groups were the biggest supporters of Proposition 66, pouring $12.6 million into the campaign and outspending the rich donors who fueled an $11.5 million effort to fight it. The same backers kicked in about $10 million each to fight or support Proposition 62, which would have repealed the death penalty.
As Californians gave the death penalty another chance, voters in Nebraska reinstated the punishment a year after lawmakers abolished it. Oklahomans voted to make it tougher to repeal the death penalty in the future.
Those votes run counter to a nationwide move away from capital punishment. A Pew Research Center poll in September showed support for the death penalty at its lowest level in 40 years.
Seven states — not counting Nebraska — have done away with the death penalty legislatively or judicially since 2000. Death sentences and executions have mostly been in decline over that same period.
Proposition 66 would change how appeals are handled, appointing more lawyers to take cases, putting certain types of appeals before trial court judges and setting a five-year deadline for appeals to be heard. Currently, it can take longer than that for an attorney to be assigned to a case and upward of 25 years to exhaust appeals.
Opponents had said the system was fatally flawed and argued that eliminating it would save $150 million a year largely by reducing lengthy appeals.
They claimed the reforms would be no panacea and instead wreak havoc on courts, lead to incompetent lawyers being appointed for appeals and could result in wrongful convictions.
"We would like nothing better than a criminal justice system that is responsive and fair," said Ana Zamora, manager of the No on Prop. 66 campaign. "But California just made a mistake the size of Texas. We cannot say with any certainty that California will not execute an innocent person."
Some death penalty foes have already asked the California Supreme Court to block Proposition 66 from taking effect. Supporters of the measure criticized that as a frivolous move and another stall tactic in delaying executions that could otherwise resume next year.
Franklin Zimring, a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who opposes capital punishment, said the court filing was "just a preview of coming attractions" as death penalty opponents try to keep the system at a standstill.
"The irony is that Prop. 66 was supposed to simplify and speed things up," Zimring said. "The smart money would bet that it has made things more complex, increased the set of issues to be litigated and if anything could slow down the path to execution in California from its glacial pace previously, it is this." |||||

Question: What will happen to Ash? Which one of these answers best answers the question according to the context? A: leave Robin alone B: get more information C: no match and gives up the information
A: | Based on the given context, the most suitable answer to the question "What will happen to Ash?" would be B: get more information.
Since Ash approached Robin to obtain some information, it is likely that Ash will persist in their efforts to gather the desired information. Ash's intention is to acquire specific knowledge or details from Robin, and therefore, it is reasonable to assume that they will continue their pursuit until they have obtained the required information.
Choosing option A: leave Robin alone would imply that Ash will give up on their quest for information and cease their interaction with Robin. However, this contradicts the initial context, which states that Ash approached Robin to obtain information.
Option C: no match and gives up the information suggests that Ash will not find the information they are seeking and will ultimately abandon their search. However, this answer does not align with the context, as it does not mention any specific outcome regarding the information Ash is trying to obtain.
Therefore, option B: get more information is the most appropriate answer, as it reflects Ash's determination to continue their efforts in acquiring the desired information from Robin. |

Answer: | The phrase "green thumb" is often used to describe someone who has a natural talent for gardening and growing plants. In this case, the person being referred to does not have a green thumb, meaning that they are not skilled at growing plants. Instead, every time they try to make something grow, it ends up dying. This could be due to a variety of factors, such as over or under watering, lack of sunlight, poor soil quality, or simply not knowing how to properly care for the plants. Regardless of the reason, the end result is that the plants do not thrive and eventually wither away. It can be frustrating and discouraging for someone who wants to have a beautiful garden or grow their own food, but with practice and education, they can improve their skills and eventually develop a green thumb of their own. |

At least for now . I mean , I ' m trying to be realistic here ... cancer does n't always just go away when you remove the tumor . But the placement of this tumor ( under her front leg at the shoulder joint ) was such that I would never have detected it until it was large enough to impede movement ... and the vet believes they caught it before it spread . There 's still a probability that more tumors and more problems will crop up ... but we have a reprieve .
How is the narrator feeling about the diagnosis ? | Based on the given article, the narrator seems to be feeling a mix of emotions regarding the cancer diagnosis. On one hand, the narrator acknowledges the reality that cancer does not always go away simply by removing the tumor. This suggests that the narrator is aware of the potential seriousness of the situation and is not in denial about the possibility of further health problems.
On the other hand, the narrator also expresses a sense of relief and gratitude that the tumor was caught before it had a chance to spread. The fact that the tumor was located in a place that would not have been easily detectable suggests that the narrator may have been worried about the possibility of the cancer going unnoticed until it was too late.
Overall, it seems that the narrator is cautiously optimistic about the situation, acknowledging the potential risks while also feeling grateful for the current reprieve. |

Solve 34*p + 6*p - 3159 = -19*p + 140*p for p. | To solve this math problem, we need to simplify the equation by combining like terms.
First, we can combine the terms with p on the left side of the equation:
34*p + 6*p = 40*p
Next, we can combine the terms with p on the right side of the equation:
-19*p + 140*p = 121*p
Now, we can rewrite the equation with the simplified terms:
40*p - 3159 = 121*p
To isolate p on one side of the equation, we can subtract 40*p from both sides:
-81*p - 3159 = 0
Next, we can add 3159 to both sides:
-81*p = 3159
Finally, we can solve for p by dividing both sides by -81:
p = -39
Therefore, the solution to the equation 34*p + 6*p - 3159 = -19*p + 140*p is p = -39. |

The games opened on February 4 and closed on February 15. It was the first of four Winter Olympics held in the United States; Lake Placid hosted again in 1980. - The Yukon Quest 1,000-mile International Sled Dog Race, or simply Yukon Quest, is a sled dog race run every February between Fairbanks, Alaska, and Whitehorse, Yukon. Because of the harsh winter conditions, difficult trail, and the limited support that competitors are allowed, it is considered the "most difficult sled dog race in the world", or even the "toughest race in the world". - Leonhard Seppala ( September 14 , 1877 -- January 28 , 1967 ) was a Norwegian - born American Sled dog musher who played a pivotal role in the 1925 serum run to Nome and participated in the 1932 Winter Olympics . Seppala introduced the work dogs used by Native Siberians at the time to the American public ; the breed came to be known as the Siberian Husky in the English - speaking world . The Leonhard Seppala Humanitarian Award , which honors excellence in sled dog care is named in honour of him . - A multi-sport event is an organized sports event, often held over multiple days, featuring competition in many different sports between organized teams of athletes from (mostly) nation states. The first major, modern, multi-sport event of international significance is the modern Olympic Games. - Sled dogs were important for transportation in arctic areas, hauling supplies in areas that were inaccessible by other methods. They were used with varying success in the explorations of both poles, as well as during the Alaskan gold rush. Sled dog teams delivered mail to rural communities in Alaska and northern Canada. Sled dogs today are still used by some rural communities, especially in areas of Alaska and Canada and throughout Greenland. They are used for recreational purposes, and are raced in events known as dog sled races such as the Iditarod and the Yukon Quest. Given the information, choose the subject and object entities that have the relation of 'sport'.
The answer is: | The subject entity that has the relation of 'sport' is the 1932 Winter Olympics, officially known as the III Olympic Winter Games, which were a winter multi-sport event held in Lake Placid, New York. The object entities that have the relation of 'sport' are the various sports that were competed in during the event, such as ice hockey, figure skating, and skiing.
Another subject entity that has the relation of 'sport' is the Yukon Quest 1,000-mile International Sled Dog Race, which is considered the "most difficult sled dog race in the world" and is run every February between Fairbanks, Alaska, and Whitehorse, Yukon. The object entity that has the relation of 'sport' in this case is sled dog racing.
Leonhard Seppala, a Norwegian-born American sled dog musher who participated in the 1932 Winter Olympics, introduced the work dogs used by Native Siberians to the American public, which came to be known as the Siberian Husky in the English-speaking world. While Seppala's involvement in the Olympics was not directly related to sport, his work with sled dogs and their use in transportation and racing is certainly related to the world of sport.
Finally, the concept of a multi-sport event itself is related to sport, as it involves organized sports events featuring competition in many different sports between organized teams of athletes from (mostly) nation states. The modern Olympic Games, which are the first major, modern, multi-sport event of international significance, are a prime example of this concept. |

The outcome of the votes is uncertain. One measure is more hard-line, while the other represents a compromise between the Republican Party’s conservative and moderate wings. The compromise bill includes a provision requiring children and their parents to be detained together if they cross the border illegally. It would also provide $25 billion in funding for Trump’s much-promised border wall, change the existing visa lottery into a merit-based system and provide a path to citizenship for the young undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children. Republicans hold a majority in both houses of Congress. Party leaders, including President Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan, have lobbied lawmakers this week in hopes of securing their support for the legislation. “We can enforce our immigration laws without breaking families apart,” Ryan said Wednesday before Trump announced he would sign an executive order to end breaking up families. The president’s policy retreat followed a withering attack by Republican and Democratic officials who characterized the family separations as inhumane. The actions left parents with little or no information about where their children were being taken or when or how they would be reunited. “It’s about keeping families together while at the same time making sure that we have a very powerful, very strong border,” Trump said as he signed the document just before departing the White House for a political rally in the state of Minnesota. Later, at the political rally, the president defended his position saying the executive order he signed hours earlier would not weaken his border strategy: “The border is going to be just as tough as it’s been” despite...

Options: A. one bill passed and one was voted against B. both bills were voted against C. both bills received the necessary support and passed D. not enough information
Answer: | The outcome of the vote on the pair of immigration bills mentioned in the text is uncertain. The House of Representatives is set to vote on Thursday on a hard-line bill and a compromise bill that addresses the separations of migrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border as well as other issues that have divided the country's major political parties. The compromise bill includes a provision requiring children and their parents to be detained together if they cross the border illegally, provides $25 billion in funding for Trump's border wall, changes the existing visa lottery into a merit-based system, and provides a path to citizenship for young undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children. Republicans hold a majority in both houses of Congress, and party leaders, including President Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan, have lobbied lawmakers this week in hopes of securing their support for the legislation. However, it is not clear whether both bills will receive the necessary support and pass or if one or both bills will be voted against. Therefore, the correct option is D, not enough information. |

Then explain why other answers are wrong. You might need to use additional knowledge to answer the question. | Here is a goal: Speed up freezing bottle.
How would you accomplish this goal?
Available choices:
(A). Wrap wet saran wrap around bottle before freezing..
(B). Wrap a wet paper towel around bottle before freezing.. | The correct answer is (B). Wrap a wet paper towel around the bottle before freezing.
Wrapping a wet paper towel around the bottle before freezing can help speed up the freezing process. This is because the water in the paper towel will freeze quickly and help to transfer the cold temperature to the bottle more efficiently. The paper towel will also help to absorb any condensation that may form on the bottle during the freezing process.
Option (A), wrapping wet saran wrap around the bottle before freezing, is not as effective as wrapping a wet paper towel. Saran wrap is not as good at transferring cold temperatures as a wet paper towel, and it may not adhere well to the bottle, leading to air pockets that can slow down the freezing process.
Therefore, option (B) is the best choice for speeding up the freezing of a bottle. |

A) Summer cruises are more expensive in the busy season. B) The Prescott Park Arts Festival lasts for a month every year. C) Tourists can dine in the hotel for free in the Cannon Mountain. D) Tourists can explore the weather station in the Cannon Mountain.
A: | According to the passage, the true statement is D) Tourists can explore the weather station in the Cannon Mountain. The passage mentions that visitors can spend a day climbing the rocks, exploring the weather station, and the hiker rest area at Mount Washington Auto Road. However, there is no mention of tourists being able to dine in the hotel for free at Cannon Mountain, so statement C is false. The passage also states that Lake Winnipesaukee offers seasonal trips on the largest lake in New Hampshire, and the tickets for the cruises vary depending on the number of visitors and the season. Therefore, statement A is not mentioned in the passage. Additionally, the passage mentions that the Prescott Park Arts Festival runs from June to August, but it does not specify the exact duration of the festival. Therefore, statement B cannot be determined from the passage. |

Given the context: How would Others feel as a result? Possible answers: favored, inconvenienced, has his head in the clouds
| If Jordan left your wallet at home, and it had all the money you were going to spend on a night out with others, it is likely that the others would feel inconvenienced. They may have been looking forward to a fun night out and now may have to adjust their plans due to the lack of funds. They may also feel frustrated or disappointed that Jordan forgot something so important, especially if it was discussed beforehand that everyone was responsible for bringing their own money.
However, it is also possible that the others may feel sympathetic towards Jordan and understand that mistakes happen. They may offer to cover some of the expenses or suggest alternative activities that don't require as much money. In this case, they may not feel inconvenienced but rather willing to adapt to the situation.
Overall, the way the others feel will depend on their individual personalities and how they choose to react to the situation. Some may be more understanding and forgiving, while others may be more frustrated and disappointed. It is important to communicate openly and find a solution that works for everyone involved. |

Make this lower case. | unusual lymph node swelling should be reported to the physician.
Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped glands that play a crucial role in the body's immune system. They are part of the lymphatic system, which helps in fighting off infections and diseases. Lymph nodes are found throughout the body, but they are most commonly noticed in the neck, armpits, and groin areas.
In most cases, lymph nodes are not easily noticeable, as they are usually small and soft. However, there are instances when lymph nodes can become swollen or enlarged. This can be a sign that the body is fighting off an infection or dealing with another underlying health issue.
While it is not uncommon for lymph nodes to swell temporarily due to minor infections like colds or sore throats, unusual or persistent swelling should not be ignored. It is important to report any unusual lymph node swelling to a physician for further evaluation and diagnosis.
Unusual lymph node swelling can be caused by various factors, including bacterial or viral infections, autoimmune disorders, certain medications, or even cancer. The lymph nodes may become tender, painful, or feel hard to the touch. Other accompanying symptoms may include fever, night sweats, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, or changes in appetite.
Reporting unusual lymph node swelling to a physician is crucial because it allows for a proper assessment of the underlying cause. The physician will conduct a thorough physical examination, review the patient's medical history, and may order additional tests such as blood work, imaging scans, or a biopsy of the affected lymph node.
Based on the findings, the physician will be able to determine the cause of the lymph node swelling and develop an appropriate treatment plan. In some cases, no treatment may be necessary if the swelling is due to a minor infection that will resolve on its own. However, if the swelling is caused by a more serious condition, prompt medical intervention may be required.
Ignoring unusual lymph node swelling can have potential consequences. If the underlying cause is left untreated, it can lead to complications or further progression of the condition. For example, if the swelling is due to an infection, it may spread to other parts of the body if not addressed promptly. In the case of cancer, early detection and treatment can significantly improve the chances of successful outcomes.
In conclusion, unusual lymph node swelling should never be overlooked. It is important to report any unusual or persistent swelling to a physician for proper evaluation and diagnosis. Early detection and appropriate treatment can help prevent complications and ensure the best possible outcome for the patient's health. |

Today, he has seen two patients, patient A and patient B. Patient A had hyperopia, but patient B didn't have any issues with eyes. John would now treat the patient that have eye problem. and a hint : Farsightedness, or hyperopia, is the condition in which distant objects are seen clearly, but nearby objects appear blurry. It occurs when the eyeball is shorter than normal (see Figure below ). This causes images to be focused in a spot that would fall behind the retina (if light could pass through the retina). Hyperopia can be corrected with convex lenses. The lenses focus images farther forward in the eye, so they fall on the retina instead of behind it. Please answer this question : In patient A would images fall behind the retina or on the retina?
A: | In patient A, the images would fall behind the retina. This is because patient A has hyperopia, which is a condition where the eyeball is shorter than normal. As a result, the images are focused in a spot that would fall behind the retina if light could pass through it. This means that the retina is not receiving a clear image of the object being viewed, resulting in blurry vision for nearby objects.
To correct hyperopia, convex lenses are used. These lenses focus the images farther forward in the eye, so they fall on the retina instead of behind it. This allows the retina to receive a clear image of the object being viewed, resulting in improved vision for nearby objects.
As an ophthalmologist, John would treat patient A for their hyperopia by prescribing them with the appropriate convex lenses to correct their vision. It is important for John to accurately diagnose and treat his patients to ensure that they receive the best possible care for their eye health. |

Idealist notions took a strong hold among physicists of the early 20th century confronted with the paradoxes of quantum physics and the theory of relativity. In The Grammar of Science, Preface to the 2nd Edition, 1900, Karl Pearson wrote, "There are many signs that a sound idealism is surely replacing, as a basis for natural philosophy, the crude materialism of the older physicists." This book influenced Einstein's regard for the importance of the observer in scientific measurements[citation needed]. In § 5 of that book, Pearson asserted that "...science is in reality a classification and analysis of the contents of the mind...." Also, "...the field of science is much more consciousness than an external world."

While answering think step-by-step and justify your answer. | Q: You are given a password and you need to generate the number of steps required to convert the given password to a strong password. A password is considered strong if (a) it has at least 6 characters and at most 20 characters; (b) it contains at least one lowercase letter and one uppercase letter, and at least one digit; (c) it does not contain three repeating characters in a row. In one step you can: (1) Insert one character to password, (2) delete one character from password, or (3) replace one character of password with another character.
password = pl4dfK8omTy04B8cPK9Oap8xANSn
A: | To convert the given password to a strong password, we need to follow the given rules:
(a) The password should have at least 6 characters and at most 20 characters.
(b) The password should contain at least one lowercase letter, one uppercase letter, and one digit.
(c) The password should not contain three repeating characters in a row.
Let's analyze the given password and see how we can make it a strong password.
Step 1: The given password has 28 characters, which is more than the maximum limit of 20 characters. So, we need to delete some characters from the password. We can delete the last 8 characters to make it 20 characters long.
New password: pl4dfK8omTy04B8cPK9Oa
Step 2: The password contains both lowercase and uppercase letters, and digits. So, it satisfies the second rule.
Step 3: The password contains three repeating characters in a row, i.e., '888'. We need to replace one of these characters with another character. We can replace the second '8' with 'A'.
New password: pl4dfK8omTy04B8cPK9OaA
Step 4: The password is now strong according to the given rules.
Therefore, it took us 3 steps to convert the given password to a strong password. |

Article: Over the holidays, I took my three young children into a fancy chocolate shop to buy a gift. I was feeling pretty good until halfway home when I looked in the rearview mirror and noticed my 7-year-old son playing with a plastic toy. "Um, where did you get that, Alex?!" "Did you buy it?" "Did I buy it?" "Did you take it?!" Long story short: He had stolen the toy. I kept my cool--even when he said, "but it was only a $1.50, mom!"--and explained why it was unacceptable to take things we didn't buy. I also said he would be returning to the store to apologize and return the item. A few hours later, I marched my son back to the store with two dollars from his pocket money. I stood by the door as he walked sheepishly to the counter and told the clerk that he had taken something without paying for it, that he was sorry and that he would pay for it now. (The toy could not be returned now because Alex had broken it.) Tears streamed down my cheeks as I watched him fidget nervously and search the clerk's face for a sign of approval. Fortunately, the clerk at the chocolate shop was gracious. She told my son he had done the right thing and when she caught my eye, I smiled in thanks and we left. I told my son that I was proud of him and to remember how awful the experience felt. Question: What did the clerk do after Alex asked to pay for the toy? Options: A: The clerk reported him to police. B: The clerk accepted his apology and the money nicely. C: The clerk caught the boy and the writer. D: The clerk didn't say anything to the boy.
The answer is: | B: The clerk accepted his apology and the money nicely.
After Alex asked to pay for the toy and apologized for taking it without paying, the clerk at the chocolate shop accepted his apology and the money nicely. The writer watched as the clerk interacted with her son and saw that the clerk was gracious and understanding. The clerk told Alex that he had done the right thing, which was a positive reinforcement for his behavior. The writer smiled in thanks to the clerk for her kindness and they left the store. It is important to note that the clerk did not report the incident to the police, catch the boy and the writer, or remain silent. Instead, she handled the situation with empathy and professionalism, which helped to teach the child a valuable lesson about honesty and integrity. |

Sara Malm. PUBLISHED:. 07:40 EST, 8 May 2013. |. UPDATED:. 08:50 EST, 8 May 2013. A 33-year age-gap is nothing when you find the one – and when she is 106 years old there is not a second to lose. That is what Gavin Crawford, 73, thought when he met his ‘princess’ Marjorie Hemmerde in a nursing home three years ago. The elderly couple from Melbourne, Australia are proof that you can never be too old to fall in love. Just a number: 106-year-old Marjorie Hemmerde met her 73-year-old boyfriend Gavin Crawford at a Melbourne care home three years ago. Neither Mr Crawford nor Miss Hemmerde ever married and agree that they did not expect to ever find true love. ‘We just sort of melted into each other,’ Ms Hemmerde, a former librarian, told Herald Sun. 'We get along like old friends, the age gap doesn't seem to matter.’ Mr Crawford, describing his girlfriend as ‘cheerful and appreciative’, said: ‘Marjorie is very outgoing and has good outlook in life.' ‘I think we both have learned that life is far too short not to enjoy it.’ Never too late: Gavin and Marjorie are rarely apart, even for a moment, saying life is 'too short not to enjoy it' But despite time running against them, Miss Hemmerde, a sprightly 106-year-old who holds the record of the oldest person to ever kiss Ireland’s Blarney Stone, has declared that marriage is not on the cards. ‘I'm too irresponsible,’ Ms Hemmerde said. ‘I quite like living in sin.’ Staff at Kew Gardens Aged Care Facility called the relationship ‘beautiful and genuine’. ‘It proves it's never too late,’ social life manager Vicki Fraser said.

Question: Question: Where would you usually find a freezer with food in it? Options: - appliance store - garage - freeze food - bedroom - own home Explain why a human would choose "own home" to answer the question above:
Answer: | A human would choose "own home" as the answer to the question because a freezer with food in it is typically found in one's own home. It is a common household appliance used for storing frozen food items and is usually located in the kitchen or a separate pantry area. While freezers can also be found in other locations such as garages or commercial settings like appliance stores, the most likely and common place to find a freezer with food in it is in one's own home. |

You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. | Choose your answer: If "Baby with his dads glasses in his mouth.", does it logically follow that "The baby is teething."?
Available choices: [+] yes; [+] it is not possible to tell; [+] no; | Based on the given information, which states that the baby has his dad's glasses in his mouth, it is not possible to definitively conclude that the baby is teething. While it is true that babies often exhibit behaviors such as chewing or biting on objects when they are teething, it is also possible that the baby is simply exploring and experimenting with different objects as part of their natural development.
Teething typically occurs when a baby's first set of teeth, known as primary teeth or baby teeth, start to emerge through the gums. This process usually begins around six months of age and can continue until the child is around three years old. During this time, babies may experience discomfort and tend to chew on objects to alleviate the pain and pressure in their gums.
However, it is important to note that babies explore the world around them through their mouths, and this behavior is not solely limited to teething. Babies have a natural instinct to put objects in their mouths as a way of learning about their texture, taste, and shape. Therefore, the fact that the baby has his dad's glasses in his mouth does not necessarily indicate teething.
To determine whether the baby is teething or not, it would be necessary to consider additional factors such as the baby's age, any signs of gum swelling or redness, increased drooling, irritability, disrupted sleep patterns, and the presence of other teething symptoms. These symptoms, along with the behavior of chewing or biting on objects, can provide a more accurate indication of whether the baby is indeed teething.
In conclusion, based solely on the information provided that the baby has his dad's glasses in his mouth, it is not possible to definitively conclude that the baby is teething. Further observation of the baby's behavior and consideration of other teething symptoms would be necessary to make a more informed determination. |

Here are possible answers to this question: - vomiting - pleasure - happiness - contentment - mess I believe the correct choice is "contentment", here's why:
The answer to this question is: | Contentment. Eating breakfast in bed can make you feel content because it is a luxurious and relaxing experience. It allows you to start your day in a comfortable and cozy environment, which can set a positive tone for the rest of the day. Additionally, eating breakfast in bed can be a form of self-care, as it allows you to take a moment to slow down and enjoy your meal without any distractions or interruptions. This can lead to feelings of satisfaction and contentment. However, it is important to note that if you do spill anything, it could potentially lead to a mess and negate the positive effects of the experience. |

She gets offered the best roles and wins all the awards she is nominated for. In addition, she also has a passionate affair with a handsome director named Aditya (Emraan Hashmi). This all ends when a younger actress, Sanjana (Esha Gupta) makes her film debut. In place of Shanaya, Sanjana comes into spotlight and begins to snatch away her awards. Suddenly, Shanaya seems forgotten and everybody only wants to work with Sanjana. Soon enough, Shanaya sees her career fading away and her envy slowly becomes craziness. She begins to turn to black magic and makes it her goal in life to destroy Sanjana's career and make her the pain of loss. She seeks help of her uncle sonu (Sunil Dhariwal), a tantrik who helps her to practice black magic and calls upon an evil entity, Tara Dutt (Manish Chowdhary). She asks him to make Sanjana's life a living hell. Tara agrees to help haunt and torture Sanjana until she becomes suicidal. He asks Shanaya to give her a black poison through a person she trusts. Shanaya seduces Aditya to do it for her and whenever he feels guilty, she makes him accept again. Aditya, whose sympathy for Sanjana has turned into love, leaves Shanaya and refuses to listen her any more. Now Shanaya must work on her own to defeat the power of love. Somehow, to try to end Aditya and Sanjana's love triangle, Shanaya hatches a plan by befriending Sanjana in order to poison her which Aditya gets suspicious about. At a movie premiere, Shanaya reveals that she actually hid the poison in the chocolate basket she gave to Sanjana earlier. In the bathroom, Sanjana is attacked by a swarm of moths which she takes of her dress and run nude in public, Aditya takes her to the Hospital and finds out that Shanaya was behind this. Shanaya takes control of other mens bodies but they get brutally beaten up by Aditya. Aditya protects Sanjana from the defeated Shanaya who vows that she will remain a star and commits suicide by pouring acid on...
Answer: | The suggested movie title for the given plot could be "Black Magic: The Envy of a Star". The title reflects the central theme of the movie, which is the use of black magic by the protagonist Shanaya to destroy the career of her rival Sanjana. The title also highlights the negative consequences of envy and the obsession with fame and success. The use of black magic adds a supernatural element to the story, making it more intriguing and suspenseful.

You are an AI assistant. User will you give you a task. Your goal is to complete the task as faithfully as you can. While performing the task think step-by-step and justify your steps. | If "Blond man wearing a red shirt with a camera in his hands.", does this mean that "A man is getting ready to take a picture of his famiy."? | Based on the given information, "Blond man wearing a red shirt with a camera in his hands," we can make some assumptions, but we cannot definitively conclude that "A man is getting ready to take a picture of his family." Here's the reasoning behind this:
1. The description mentions a "blond man." This implies that the man has blond hair.
2. The description also mentions that the man is wearing a "red shirt." This indicates the color of the man's shirt.
3. Additionally, it states that the man has a "camera in his hands." This suggests that the man is holding a camera.
Based on these details, we can infer that there is a man who has blond hair, is wearing a red shirt, and is holding a camera. However, we cannot definitively conclude that he is getting ready to take a picture of his family. There could be other reasons for him to have a camera, such as being a photographer or simply carrying it for another purpose.
To accurately determine whether the man is getting ready to take a picture of his family, we would need more information or context. |

If there is no answer, please output "Insufficient information to provide an answer.". Movie title: The X Files Context: The film opens in what will become North Texas, 35,000Â BC. Entering a cave, two cavemen hunters stumble upon a large extraterrestrial life form. One is killed by the creature while the other one fights and wins, stabbing the creature to death, but he is also infected by a black oil-like substance which crawls into his skin. In 1998, in the same area, when a group of boys are digging a deep hole, a young boy named Stevie falls down the hole and finds a human skull. As he holds it, black oil seeps into his body until it reaches his head, causing his eyes to turn black. Later, four firefighters descend into the hole to rescue him, but do not come out. A team of biohazard-suited men arrives on the scene. Meanwhile, FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully have been assigned to other projects since the closure of the X-Files. They are helping investigate a bomb threat against a federal building in Dallas. Mulder inspects a building across the street from the supposed target and discovers the bomb in a vending machine. Special Agent in Charge Darius Michaud stays behind to disarm the bomb as Mulder and Scully evacuate the building. Unknown to the agents, Michaud makes no effort to disarm the bomb, which detonates. Returning to Washington, D.C., Mulder and Scully are chastised because, in addition to Michaud, five people were apparently still in the building during the bombing. There are scheduled separate hearings at which their job performances will be evaluated. That evening, Mulder encounters a paranoid doctor, Alvin Kurtzweil, who explains that the victims were the firefighters and boy, that they were already dead, and that the bomb was allowed to detonate in order to destroy evidence of how they died.

(I). Donald Trump.
(II). Kim Jong Un.
(III). Kim Hyun-wook.
(IV). not enough information.
Given those answer options, answer the question: SEOUL — The recent U.S. missile strikes against Syria could increase pressure on North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons, or reinforce in Pyongyang the need for nuclear deterrence. The United States, France and Britain fired 105 missiles at three Syrian chemical weapons facilities on Saturday, in response to an alleged Syrian chemical weapons attack in the city of Douma that killed at least 40 people and wounded or sickened hundreds of others. The Syrian government has repeatedly denied any use of banned weapons. The combined military strike on Syria comes as the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump and the government of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un are preparing for an expected summit in late May or early June to discuss dismantling the North’s nuclear program in exchange for security guarantees. Trump’s willingness to use force against Syria can be seen to reinforce his “maximum pressure” campaign message, that in addition to imposing tough sanctions banning most North Korean exports, the U.S. would take military action, if necessary, to force Kim to terminate his nuclear program and end the continued development of a nuclear armed intercontinental ballistic missile that can reach the U.S. mainland. Calling the U.S. attack on Syria “a warning for Pyongyang,” the South Korean newspaper the Korea Joongang Daily, in an editorial on Monday said, “If Kim wants to be free from the fear of a potential raid, then he must be willing to denuclearize.” From this perspective the U.S. show of force in Syria will increase pressure on the leadership in North Korea to offer meaningful nuclear concessions at the Trump-Kim summit. “Unless it abandons at least part of its nuclear and missile capabilities then the Trump administration will not be satisfied,” said Bong Young-shik, a political analyst with the Yonsei University Institute for North Korean Studies in Seoul However the U.S. military strike on Syria could also reinforce concerns in North Korea that giving up its nuclear deterrent would make the... Question: Who needs to abandon their nuclear program? === The answer to the above question is
A: | Kim Jong Un needs to abandon North Korea's nuclear program, according to the article. The recent U.S. missile strikes against Syria could increase pressure on North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons, and the Trump administration has been pushing for the dismantling of North Korea's nuclear program in exchange for security guarantees.

A: | Illinois is located in the Central Time Zone (CT). The Central Time Zone is 6 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-6). This means that when it is 12:00 PM (noon) in UTC, it would be 6:00 AM in Illinois. The Central Time Zone covers a large portion of the United States, including states such as Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and parts of North Dakota, South Dakota, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
It is important to note that Illinois observes daylight saving time, which means that the clocks are adjusted forward by one hour during the summer months. This is done to make better use of daylight and to extend evening daylight hours. During daylight saving time, Illinois is in the Central Daylight Time (CDT) zone, which is UTC-5. So, when it is 12:00 PM (noon) in UTC, it would be 7:00 AM in Illinois during daylight saving time.
Knowing the correct time zone is essential for various purposes, such as scheduling meetings, making travel arrangements, and ensuring accurate communication across different regions. It is always advisable to double-check the current time and any time zone changes, especially when planning activities that involve people or locations in different time zones. |

Ponds, on the other hand, can vary in depth and size, and some ponds can be deeper than lakes. Therefore, they are not the best option for a body of water that is typically shallow. |

Options:
- Sentence A: "he climbs up a sculpture and hides among the leaves"
- Sentence B: "he climbs up a tree and hides among the leaves"
Please answer this question gradually: | Sure, I'd be happy to help you with that question!
First, let's look at Sentence A: "he climbs up a sculpture and hides among the leaves." This sentence seems a bit unusual because sculptures are typically made of materials like metal, stone, or clay, which don't have leaves. So, it's unlikely that someone could climb up a sculpture and hide among the leaves. Therefore, Sentence A doesn't make sense.
Now, let's move on to Sentence B: "he climbs up a tree and hides among the leaves." This sentence seems much more plausible because trees are living things that have leaves, and it's common for people to climb trees. So, Sentence B makes sense.
To summarize, Sentence A doesn't make sense because sculptures don't have leaves, while Sentence B makes sense because trees do have leaves and people can climb them. |

Many are alleged to have been held for months and often kept blindfolded and handcuffed for the entire period.
Egypt's government has denied it uses enforced disappearances and torture.
More than 1,000 people have been killed and 40,000 are believed to have been jailed since President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi led the military's overthrow of Mohammed Morsi, Egypt's first democratically elected head of state, in 2013.
Amnesty's Middle East and North Africa director, Philip Luther, said enforced disappearances had become a "key instrument of state policy" under Mr Sisi and his Interior Minister, Magdy Abdul Ghaffar, who took office in March 2015.
Citing local non-governmental organisations, Amnesty said that on average three to four people per day had been seized, usually when heavily armed security forces led by the National Security Agency (NSA) stormed their homes.
Hundreds of people were thought to be held at the NSA's offices, inside the interior ministry's headquarters at Cairo's Lazoughly Square.
Mr Luther said the report exposed collusion between the security services and judicial authorities, who he alleged had been "prepared to lie to cover their tracks or failed to investigate torture allegations, making them complicit in serious human rights violations".
One of the cases in the report is that of 14-year-old Mazen Mohamed Abdallah, who was taken from his home in the Nasser City district of Cairo by NSA agents on 30 September and accused of being a member of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood and participating in unauthorised protests.
Mazen said that after he denied the charges, interrogators repeatedly raped him with a wooden stick in order to force him to "memorise" a false confession, applied electric shocks to his genitals and other parts of his body, and threatened to arrest his parents if he retracted the confession.
The boy retracted the confession when questioned by a prosecutor, but was still charged and only released from custody on 31 January to await trial, Amnesty said.
Another of the cases featured in the report is that of Italian student Giulio Regeni.
The 28-year-old Cambridge University PhD student was found dead on a roadside on the outskirts of Cairo in February, his body bearing signs of torture.
The Egyptian authorities have denied any involvement in his killing, but Amnesty said its report had found "clear similarities" between his injuries and those of Egyptians who had died in custody.
Following the publication of the report on Wednesday, the Egyptian foreign ministry issued a statement accusing Amnesty of being a "non-neutral organisation motivated by political stances aimed at tarnishing the image of Egypt".
It said the ministry "would not comment" further, but added that Amnesty's reporting was one-sided and expressed "the viewpoints of individuals and parties hostile to the Egyptian state, while ignoring the Egyptian judiciary's handling of these cases".

The airline has decided not to renew the A380 plane when the ten-year contract expires next year.
The news comes after Airbus more than halved its delivery target for the A380, raising fears it could slip back to making a loss from the aircraft.
A Singapore Airlines spokesperson said: "Our first five A380s are on 10-year leases, with options to extend. The first expires in October 2017, and we have decided not to extend it.
"For the other four, decisions will be made later."
But they added the airline had orders for five separate A380s with Airbus, which will start being delivered in the second half of 2017.
The A380 only began breaking even for Airbus last year.
In July, Airbus said it would still avoid losing money on the jet in 2017 with as few as 20 deliveries, but gave no further guidance.
Analysts say that big aircraft like the A380 and Boeing's 747 series have fallen out of favour.
Smaller jets can be more profitable as they are easier to fill and are cheaper to operate, analysts say.

You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. | Given the question: Danny was having fun singing in front of his class. He has a lot of what? Choose the most suitable option to answer the above question. Options： A. laughter B. being happy C. glee D. opera E. injuries
The answer is: | The most suitable option to answer the question "Danny was having fun singing in front of his class. He has a lot of what?" would be option C, glee. Glee refers to a feeling of great pleasure and happiness, often accompanied by laughter and excitement. In this context, it can be inferred that Danny was enjoying himself and experiencing a sense of joy and excitement while singing in front of his class. The other options, such as laughter, being happy, and injuries, do not accurately capture the specific emotion or experience that Danny was having while singing. Opera, while it is a type of music, is not relevant to the question and does not provide an appropriate answer. Therefore, option C, glee, is the most appropriate answer to the question. |

Title: NEVER AGAIN will I purchase anything made by PRICE-PFISTER!! Review: (White unit) Although I did not purchase this from Amazon.com, I bought it from my local home improvement store (my first mistake). After installing it, I tried it out, but the spayer would not work properly. You press the button, but water continued to come out of the faucet. I called the home improvement store to return/exchange it, but they advised me to call Price-Pfister. After explaining the problem to Price-Pfister, they too refused to exhange it and said they knew what the problem was with the diverter and would send me parts. My second mistake! I didn't know I was part of their Price-Pfister free plumbing repair staff!! I got new diverter parts with schematic instructions to field strip the entire unit to fix it. It still does not work properly. NEVER AGAIN WILL I EVER PURCHASE PRICE-PFISTER!! Hope you look elsewhere for a different manufacturer!! Answer:
A: | Based on the review provided, it is clear that the reviewer had a negative experience with the Price-Pfister product. The title of the review, "NEVER AGAIN will I purchase anything made by PRICE-PFISTER!!" sets the tone for the rest of the review, indicating that the reviewer is extremely dissatisfied with the product and the company.
The reviewer explains that they purchased the product from a local home improvement store and installed it themselves. However, upon trying to use the sprayer, they found that it did not work properly. Despite attempting to return or exchange the product, both the home improvement store and Price-Pfister refused to do so. Instead, Price-Pfister offered to send the reviewer parts to fix the problem themselves.
The reviewer expresses frustration with this, stating that they did not want to be a part of Price-Pfister's "free plumbing repair staff." They followed the instructions provided by Price-Pfister to fix the problem, but the product still did not work properly.
Overall, the review is very negative and suggests that the reviewer would not recommend this product or company to others. The reviewer's experience with the product and customer service was poor, and they feel that they were not adequately supported in resolving the issue. |
You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. | Question: Fact 1: Light enters the eye through an opening called the pupil. Fact 2: Eyes used for seeing ahead and balance. Given the two facts above, answer the question "What is light used for?" with the following options: - Electrical energy - Animal survival - noise - to move people - Seeing ahead - hearing - Chemical energy - listening
Answer: | Light is primarily used for seeing ahead, as it enters the eye through an opening called the pupil. The eyes are an essential part of animal survival, as they are used not only for seeing but also for maintaining balance. Without the ability to see, animals would have a difficult time navigating their environment and finding food, water, and shelter. Therefore, light plays a crucial role in animal survival. It is not used for electrical energy, noise, to move people, hearing, or chemical energy. While light can be used in various ways, its primary function in the context of the given facts is for vision and maintaining balance. |
