Write an article based on this "A man has been charged with murder and attempted murder after a woman and the man she was on a date with were stabbed at a restaurant in Sydney, Australia." | Title: Tragedy Strikes in Sydney: Victims Stabbed during Dinner Date, Suspect Charged with Murder and Attempted Murder
Introduction
A seemingly ordinary evening took a tragic turn in Sydney, Australia when a romantic dinner date at a local restaurant ended in bloodshed, as a man allegedly attacked a couple, stabbing both victims. Local authorities have charged the suspect with murder and attempted murder in connection with the horrific crime. In this article, we delve into the chilling incident, the suspect, and the impact it has had on the community.
The Incident
The alarming event took place at a popular restaurant in Sydney, Australia. A woman and her date were enjoying their meal – blissfully unaware of the tragic circumstances that would soon unfold. As they shared conversation and indulged in their dinner, a man approached the couple and, without warning, began to stab them with a sharp object.
Patrons at the restaurant scrambled for safety, as the assailant continued his violent rampage. Bystanders quickly called emergency services, who promptly arrived at the scene. Although both victims were rushed to a nearby hospital, the woman succumbed to her injuries. The man she was on a date with remained in critical condition, fighting for his life.
The Suspect
Initial investigations revealed that the alleged attacker had no known connections to the victims – adding to the mystifying nature of this sudden and brutal assault. Witnesses reported that the assailant seemed to have no specific motive and appeared to carry out the act senselessly.
Following a thorough investigation, local police identified and arrested the suspect. During the process, it was discovered that the alleged attacker had a history of criminal behavior and a troubled past, though it is unclear if this played a role in the tragic incident.
Authorities have formally charged the man with murder and attempted murder in connection with the heinous crime. He awaits a hearing to determine a trial date and, if convicted, could face a life sentence in prison.
The Community's Response
The shocking nature of the crime has left the residents of Sydney reeling, as they struggle to come to terms with the harrowing event. The restaurant where the attack occurred has since been closed, with a makeshift memorial being created outside to commemorate the victims.
Many have questioned how such a vicious crime could happen in what is considered to be one of the safest cities in the world. This tragic event has spurred local officials to reassess current security measures and devise strategies to reinforce public safety. Additionally, discussions surrounding mental health and criminal rehabilitation have surfaced as residents seek to comprehend the actions of the alleged perpetrator and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
In the wake of the stabbing, the community has banded together with an outpouring of grief and support for the victims and their families. Candlelight vigils have been held, and an online fundraising campaign is underway to assist the surviving victim with his medical expenses and recovery.
Conclusion
The tragic attack in Sydney serves as a chilling reminder that senseless acts of violence can happen anywhere and at any time. The community's response to this horrific and seemingly random act of brutality has been one of solidarity and determination to prevent such incidents in the future. As the case unfolds, the victims and their families remain in the hearts of the community, who are grieving the devastating loss of a life cut tragically short and supporting the recovering victim as he continues to endure this unimaginable ordeal. | You are an AI assistant.

– After a thief walked out of a New York gallery with a Salvador Dali drawing only to later return it by mail, observers were scratching their heads—but now they have an explanation, via prosecutors. Authorities arrested Greek fashion publicist Phivos Lampros Istavrioglou, 29, in the case; he has pleaded not guilty, the Wall Street Journal reports. The back story: At the gallery, Istavrioglou realized the $150,000 drawing was unprotected and removed it, taking it with him back to Athens, prosecutors say. Once he arrived, prosecutors say he had second thoughts. "When he realized the hunt was on, the defendant blinked" and sent it back, rolling it up "in a manner befitting a college dorm-room poster." Among the evidence detectives are said to have uncovered in the case: Istavriglou's fingerprint on the mailing tube, relevant Web searches made from his Google account before the story broke, and a photo of the drawing in the gallery that he posted to his Facebook page. Istavrioglou was caught after an undercover cop posed as a New York art gallery manager and offered him a job, returning him to the Big Apple. He's due back in court today, the New York Times notes. | Title: An Unlikely Heist: The Tale of Salvador Dali Art Theft and its Intriguing Resolution
After a thief casually strolled into a New York gallery, walked out with a Salvador Dali drawing, and then promptly returned the stolen art via mail, numerous observers were left puzzled. However, an explanation has emerged through the justice system. Authorities recently arrested Greek fashion publicist Phivos Lampros Istavrioglou, 29, in connection with the theft. Istavrioglou pleaded not guilty.
The backstory of this unusual crime starts at the New York gallery, where Istavrioglou noticed that a $150,000 Salvador Dali drawing was not properly protected. He seized the opportunity and took the drawing. He transported the artwork from New York City, to Athens, Greece, where he resides. However, upon arriving in Athens, Istavrioglou experienced a change of heart. In fear of being caught, prosecutors say Istavrioglou decided to return the precious art piece.
"When he realized the hunt was on, the defendant blinked," the prosecutor stated. In a hasty move to avoid any ramifications, Istavrioglou rolled up the Salvador Dali drawing and sent it back to the gallery. His method of rolling can be best described as "a manner befitting a college dorm-room poster," reflecting a naive approach rather than a heist expert's precision.
Detectives have managed to uncover several pieces of evidence that point to Istavrioglou's involvement in the peculiar crime. Among these pieces of evidence is his fingerprint found on the mailing tube used to return the drawing. Additional information implicating Istavrioglou includes relevant web searches made on his Google account in the period leading up to the story breaking. Furthermore, a picture of the drawing, as it hung in the gallery, was featured on Istavrioglou's Facebook profile.
The Greek fashion publicist was apprehended in New York City, following communication with an undercover cop who posed as an art gallery manager. The undercover officer lured Istavrioglou back to the Big Apple by offering him a lucrative job opportunity. Once in New York, officers closed in and arrested him without incident. Istavrioglou appeared in court soon after and pleaded not guilty.
Now that the Salvador Dali drawing has been safely returned, the consequences faced by Istavrioglou remain uncertain. As a high-profile suspect in an art theft turned intriguing global case, the enigmatic nature of the criminal act and its intriguing resolution will leave many captivated and puzzled in the world of art galleries and beyond. This unusual case serves as a testament to the unpredictability of human nature, coupled with the ability for even the unlikeliest of individuals to become involved in an art heist. | You are an AI assistant.

Detailed Instructions: In this task, you are given a premise, a hypothesis, and an update. The premise sentence describes a real-world situation and is always assumed to be true. The hypothesis sentence describes an assumption or inference that you might make about that situation having read the premise. The update provides additional information about the situation that might weaken or strengthen the hypothesis. A weakener is a statement that weakens the hypothesis, that is, it makes you much less likely to believe the hypothesis is true. A strengthener is a statement that strengthens the hypothesis, that is, it makes you much more likely to believe the hypothesis is true. Your task is to answer with 'strengthener' or 'weakener' if the update strengthens or weakens the hypothesis, respectively.
Problem:Premise: A woman in white with her arms folded smiling as a man is laughing holding cotton candy.
Hypothesis: A woman watches her husband buying cotton candy at a carnival.
Update: The woman does not know the man.
Solution: | The task is asking you to determine if an update strengthens or weakens a given hypothesis based on a provided premise. To do this, follow these simple steps:
1. Understand the premise: Read the given premise sentence that describes a real-world situation. Remember, the premise is always true.
In this case, the premise is, "A woman in white with her arms folded smiling as a man is laughing holding cotton candy."
2. Understand the hypothesis: Read the provided hypothesis sentence that describes an assumption or inference about the situation based on the premise.
In this case, the hypothesis is, "A woman watches her husband buying cotton candy at a carnival."
3. Analyze the update: Read the update sentence that provides additional information about the situation. This update can either weaken or strengthen the hypothesis.
In this case, the update is, "The woman does not know the man."
4. Determine if the update is a strengthener or weakener: Assess if the update makes the hypothesis more likely to be true (strengthener) or less likely to be true (weakener) based on the relationship between the premise, hypothesis, and update.
In this case, the update weakens the hypothesis because the woman does not know the man, making it less likely that the man is her husband.
5. Provide the answer: Based on your analysis, answer whether the update is a strengthener or weakener for the hypothesis. In this case, the answer is 'weakener.' | You are a teacher. Given a task, you explain in simple steps what the task is asking, any guidelines it provides and how to use those guidelines to find the answer. | <s>[INST] <<SYS>>

Victims of domestic violence will have access to quality legal representation through a campaign undertaken by Idaho Supreme Court Chief Justice Linda Copple Trout and corporate leaders. "Thousands of times a year, Idahoans are victims of domestic violence. The victims are often women and their children and they frequently have few resources with which to pursue their legal rights," Trout said Tuesday. "This campaign helps fill that gap in legal services for women who need the help at a time when they are in crisis." The Idaho Partners for Justice Project has already secured pledges of more than $35,000 from law firms, attorneys, corporations and individuals. The goal is $100,000. The drive to pay for free legal services will continue for the next two months. The money goes to Idaho Legal Aid Services and the Idaho Volunteer Lawyers Program. Last year, more than 5,000 petitions were filed in Idaho for protection orders in domestic violence cases. More than 12,000 victims contacted shelters or crisis hotlines. Joining Trout in the announcement was Idaho Bar Association President Fred Hoopes of Idaho Falls and Ida-West Energy Co. Chief Executive Officer Randy Hill, members of the project's executive committee. Also on hand were some women who were victims of such violence, but benefited from free legal services. Last year's campaign generated enough money and resources to help more than 450 victims. The help ranged from representation in protection order hearings to legal assistance in divorce, visitation and child support cases. The donations are tax deductible.

Build a movie plot around this: What are the girls that Sarah becomes friendly with rumored to be? Witches
Answer: | Title: The Enchanted Circle
Step 1: Introduce the main character
Sarah, a shy and introverted high-school girl, moves to a new town with her family due to her parents' job relocation. Sarah has a hard time making friends and feels out of place in her new environment.
Step 2: Establish the setting
The story takes place in a small, close-knit town called Mooncrest, surrounded by a dense and mysterious forest, where rumors and myths about supernatural beings lurk in the shadows. The town has a deep-rooted history of witchcraft and occult practices.
Step 3: Introduce the secondary characters
Sarah meets a group of three girls—Luna, Willow, and Aurora—who are seen as outcasts by their peers. The girls are rumored to be witches because of their strange behaviors, mysterious background, and fascination with the town's history.
Step 4: Develop the main character's relationship with the secondary characters
Despite the rumors, Sarah becomes friendly with Luna, Willow, and Aurora. They take her into their circle of friendship, and Sarah starts to learn about the town's dark past and the girls' complex connection to it. Meanwhile, Sarah begins to feel more confident and at ease with her newfound friends.
Step 5: Introduce a conflict
The town experiences a series of strange and inexplicable events, such as mysterious fires and sudden illnesses that affect people who have been hostile to the girls, leading the townsfolk to believe that the girls are the cause. People begin to whisper that the girls are using witchcraft to take revenge on those who wronged them.
Step 6: Present the main character's reaction to the conflict
As the town's fear and suspicion grow, Sarah's loyalty to her new friends is tested. She starts to question whether the girls are truly involved in witchcraft or are just innocent victims of the town's paranoia. Sarah becomes determined to find the truth and protect the girls from the mounting hysteria.
Step 7: Build towards the climax
As Sarah delves deeper into the mysterious happenings, she discovers that there is indeed supernatural activity in the town - but not from her friends. A secret group, believing they can harness the power of the town's history, are behind the dark occurrences. They plan to use the girls as scapegoats and take control of the town.
Step 8: Climax
Sarah confronts the secret group and exposes their true intentions to the townsfolk, turning public opinion against them. A battle between the forces of good and evil ensues, with Sarah teaming up with the girls to defeat the secret group.
Step 9: Resolution
After the secret group's plan is thwarted, Mooncrest returns to a semblance of normalcy, but the town will never be the same. With their names cleared, Luna, Willow, and Aurora's acceptance grows, and they continue to share their knowledge of the town's real history with others while supporting each other as friends. Sarah is now embraced by her community and becomes a symbol of courage and understanding.
Step 10: Closing scene
In the end, we see Sarah and her friends sitting together, laughing and enjoying a beautiful sunset over Mooncrest. They have not only found friendship and acceptance but have also learned that uncovering the truth can be the most powerful magic of all. | You are an AI assistant. User will you give you a task.

Question: I read this background article the other day: Huge amounts of chemicals, such as fertilizers and pesticides, are applied to farm fields (see Figure below ). Some of the chemicals are picked up by rainwater. Runoff then carries the chemicals to nearby rivers or lakes. Dissolved fertilizer causes too much growth of water plants and algae. This can lead to dead zones where nothing can live in lakes and at the mouths of rivers. Some of the chemicals can infiltrate into groundwater. The contaminated water comes up in water wells. If people drink the polluted water, they may get sick. I am facing a new situation today: There are two lakes in southern Indiana that are popular places for families of nearby cities to visit for picnics and parties. Lake Mahoe is right next to a large farm that grows all kinds of crops for the town. The owner of the farm also rents out his barn regularly so people can use it for celebrations. Lake Tresco is located near a school and children will often come play at it during recess. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Does lake Mahoe have more or less chemicals in it than lake Tresco?
Answer: | Lake Mahoe likely has more chemicals in it than Lake Tresco.
Step 1: Identify sources of chemical contamination.
According to the background article, one of the main sources of chemical contamination in bodies of water is the use of fertilizers and pesticides in farm fields. No information is provided about potential sources of contamination near Lake Tresco.
Step 2: Locate the sources near the lakes.
Lake Mahoe is situated right next to a large farm that grows all kinds of crops. This implies that fertilizers and pesticides are likely applied.
Step 3: Consider chemical runoff.
Rainwater can pick up chemicals from the farm fields and carry them into the lake, causing contamination. There is no mention of any similar process occurring near Lake Tresco.
Step 4: Consider the effects of these chemicals.
The absorbed fertilizer can enhance the growth of water plants and algae, sometimes to detrimental levels, leading to dead zones where nothing can live. Some of the chemicals can also seep into groundwater and contaminate wells from where people draw drinking water.
Step 5: Conclude based on evidence.
Given the background knowledge and the specific situation, it is much more probable that Lake Mahoe is exposed to higher levels of chemical contaminants from the nearby farm when compared to Lake Tresco, which doesn't have an identified source of similar contamination close by. | You are an AI assistant.

What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
One of the first complaints presented to doctors by many people later diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease is an involuntary tremor or shaking of the hands, fingers, arms, legs, jaw, and face. You’re most likely to notice this tremor when your hands are at rest rather than when you’re using them, although you may see more tremors while your hands and arms are in use as the disease progresses. There are many causes of tremors. Parkinson's Disease is one of the most common causes, and tremors are often the first sign of the disease. The tremor and other symptoms may initially appear only on one side of the body, or they may appear worse on one side than the other. A repetitive “pill-rolling" movement between the thumb and finger—named because it looks as though the person is rolling a pill between their fingers—is characteristic of a Parkinsonian tremor. Some symptoms of Parkinson's are caused by the larger symptom of slowed movements (also known as bradykinesia). This primarily affects motor functions from walking and balance to writing and even motor functions that are often considered reflexive or spontaneous. These slowed movements are a very common early sign of Parkinson’s, and may show up at the onset of the disease in 80% of patients. Some people might have a hard time describing what they are feeling and use words like “weakness,” “tiredness,” or “incoordination” when talking about these symptoms. Look for distortions in voluntary movements. In addition to involuntary movements, those with Parkinson’s may experience disturbances in their voluntary movements beyond just slowness. Some of the treatments used for Parkinson's disease may cause abnormal involuntary movements, or an increase in movement, referred to as dyskinesia. These distortions (dyskinesias) can be similar to a “tic” in appearance and worsen with psychological stress. Advanced dyskinesia is most often seen in patients who have been on the medication Levodopa for some time. A common symptom of Parkinson’s is a shuffling gait with short steps and a tendency to lean forward. People with Parkinson's often have difficulty with their balance, and there is sometimes a tendency to fall forward, causing the person to walk faster and faster to keep from falling over. This pattern is called a "festinating gait," and it is very common in Parkinson's disease. This symptom typically shows up in the later stages of the disease. Those with Parkinson’s Disease often lean forward at the waist when standing or walking. This is because Parkinson's can cause posture and balance problems, including rigidity. There is a tendency to flex the arms and the head so that the person appears bent over with the elbows flexed and the head down. Rigidity can affect the whole body, and might you feel stiff or sore. Check for postural rigidity. Also referred to as “cog-wheeling,” this symptom presents as a hallmark, rigid motion when an examiner moves the arm of a patient through basic flexion and extension motions. The rigidity and resistance to movement is most obvious with passive movement of the wrists and elbow. Cog-wheeling may happen when the increased muscle tone related to rigidity is combined with a tremor. Some cognitive impairment is common, but usually not until late in the course of the disease. Around 90% of those with PD will show signs of speech disturbances at some point. These can present as quieter speech, breathy or hoarse qualities to the voice, and reduced precision with language. The voice often becomes soft or whispery because the vocal muscles lack mobility. Up to 60% of those with PD may show signs or anxiety or depression. PD affects some of the mood-stabilizing portions of the brain, which leads to this increased chance for depression, especially paired with the quality of life for patients in late stages of the disease. The muscles used to push food through the digestive system are also affected by PD. This can lead to a variety of gastrointestinal issues from incontinence to constipation. These same symptoms often present along with difficulty swallowing food as well. Many of the involuntary movements associated with Parkinson’s make it increasingly difficult for those with the disease to get a full night of sleep. Other symptoms—such as muscle rigidity making it difficult to roll over at night or bladder issues leading to getting up at night to urinate frequently—compound the sleep disruptions experienced by those with PD.

What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
One of the first complaints presented to doctors by many people later diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease is an involuntary tremor or shaking of the hands, fingers, arms, legs, jaw, and face. You’re most likely to notice this tremor when your hands are at rest rather than when you’re using them, although you may see more tremors while your hands and arms are in use as the disease progresses. There are many causes of tremors. Parkinson's Disease is one of the most common causes, and tremors are often the first sign of the disease. The tremor and other symptoms may initially appear only on one side of the body, or they may appear worse on one side than the other. A repetitive “pill-rolling" movement between the thumb and finger—named because it looks as though the person is rolling a pill between their fingers—is characteristic of a Parkinsonian tremor. Some symptoms of Parkinson's are caused by the larger symptom of slowed movements (also known as bradykinesia). This primarily affects motor functions from walking and balance to writing and even motor functions that are often considered reflexive or spontaneous. These slowed movements are a very common early sign of Parkinson’s, and may show up at the onset of the disease in 80% of patients. Some people might have a hard time describing what they are feeling and use words like “weakness,” “tiredness,” or “incoordination” when talking about these symptoms.

Allen was born Allan Stewart Konigsberg in the Brooklyn borough of New York City, New York. He and his sister, Letty (b. 1943), were raised in Midwood, Brooklyn. He is the son of Nettie (nee Cherry; November 8, 1906 - January 27, 2002), a bookkeeper at her family's delicatessen, and Martin Konigsberg (December 25, 1900 - January 8, 2001), a jewelry engraver and waiter. His family was Jewish, and his grandparents immigrated to the US from Russia and Austria and spoke Yiddish, Hebrew, and German.
In 1966, Allen wrote the play Don't Drink the Water. The play starred Lou Jacobi, Kay Medford, Anita Gillette and Allen's future movie co-star Tony Roberts. A film adaptation of the play, directed by Howard Morris, was released in 1969, starring Jackie Gleason. Because he was not particularly happy with the 1969 film version of his play, in 1994, Allen directed and starred in a second version for television, with Michael J. Fox and Mayim Bialik. The next play Allen wrote for Broadway was Play It Again, Sam, in which he also starred. The play opened on February 12, 1969, and ran for 453 performances. It featured Diane Keaton and Roberts. The play was significant to Keaton's budding career, and she has stated she was in "awe" of Allen even before auditioning for her role, which was the first time she met him. During an interview in 2013, Keaton stated that she "fell in love with him right away," adding, "I wanted to be his girlfriend so I did something about it." After co-starring alongside Allen in the subsequent film version of Play It Again, Sam, she would later co-star in Sleeper, Love and Death, Interiors, Manhattan and Annie Hall. "He showed me the ropes and I followed his lead. He is the most disciplined person I know. He works very hard," Keaton has stated. "I find the same thing sexy in a man now as I always have: humor. I love it when they are funny. It's to die for." For its March 21, 1969, issue, Life featured Allen on its cover. In 1981, his play The Floating Light Bulb premiered on Broadway and ran for 65 performances. While receiving mixed reviews, it gave an autobiographical insight into Allen's childhood, specifically his fascination with magic tricks. He has written several one-act plays, including Riverside Drive and Old Saybrook exploring well-known Allen themes. On October 20, 2011, Allen's one-act play Honeymoon Motel opened as part of a larger piece entitled Relatively Speaking on Broadway, with two other one-act plays, one by Ethan Coen and one by Elaine May.

Movie title: Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker Context: Late one night in December, a young boy named Derek Quinn (William Thorne) hears the doorbell ring and goes downstairs and finds a Christmas present addressed to him on the porch. His father Tom (Van Quattro) reprimands him for being up so late and opening the door, sending him off to bed. Instead Derek watches from the stairs as his curious father opens the gift. Finding a musical orb shaped like Santa Claus in the box he activates it, causing it to strangle him with retractable cords; as Tom struggles he slips and falls onto a fireplace poker, his impaled body being found by his wife Sarah (Jane Higginson) a few moments later.Two weeks later, Sarah takes Derek, who hasn't spoken since his father's death, to a toy store owned by the elderly Joe Petto (Mickey Rooney) and his odd son Pino (Brian Bremer) not realizing they have been followed by Noah Adams (Tracy Fraim). After Derek rejects all the toys Joe shows him (and one called Larry the Larvae that Pino tries to give him) he and his mother leave, prompting Joe to begin angrily yelling at Pino, belittling him and blaming him for all the store's recent failures.

Please answer the following question: Read the following paragraph and extract the answer for the question: What gender of the Perijá tapaculo have brown on the back of their legs and whitish on the front? The Perijá tapaculo is a small bird, 10 to 12 cm (3.9 to 4.7 in) in length with an average mass of 17 to 18 grams (around 0.6 oz). The bill averages 6.8 millimetres (0.27 inches) long, 2.9 mm (0.11 in) wide, and 3.5 mm (0.14 in) high. The legs are about 21 mm (0.83 in) long. The Perijá tapaculo's tarsus averages 21.1 millimetres (0.83 in) long. The wings measure 57.4 mm (2.26 in) on average and the tail is about 40 mm (1.6 in) long with between 8 and 12 rectrices.The forehead, lores, crown, mantle, and scapular area are a neutral grey colour. There is a brown spot on the nape. The top of the tail is brown, and the bottom is faintly striped brown. The bird's back and rump are striped brown-sepia, and the throat, breast, and belly are grey-white. Its lower belly and flanks are tawny. The iris is dark brown. Male specimens are distinguished by having less sharp brown spots on their napes, and the bottom of their breasts are mixed with a pale buff colour. The legs are brown on the back and whitish on the front. Young birds have a yellowish appearance with striped brown flanks.The bird's plumage colouration is most similar to the pale-bellied tapaculo. The S. g. morenoi subspecies of the pale-bellied tapaculo can be differentiated from the Perijá tapaculo by its entirely brown back and nape, and its different calls. Juveniles of this subspecies have a dull ventral plumage, while the Perijá tapaculo has a more yellow plumage. It also resembles the Caracas tapaculo but has a duller ventral colour.
A: | The paragraph does not indicate which specific gender of the Perijá tapaculo has brown on the back of their legs and whitish on the front. This characteristic is mentioned without specifying whether it applies to the male, female, or both. Therefore, based on the provided information, the bird's description of having brown on the back of their legs and whitish on the front cannot be attributed to a specific gender. | You are an AI assistant.

You could go directly into the confessional (provided there's no one else in there or waiting outside), but sometimes it's nice to take a minute in the pew by yourself beforehand. You have this beautiful church probably almost all to yourself. Can you feel its energy resonating through you? Can you feel the majesty of the Lord's kingdom and how you're a part of it? Take a moment to kneel and pray with your head down and hands clasped together. Reflect on your faith and how you feel currently. Think about how you've been responding to God's call and how you've been living in the light of his love. When the priest is ready for you, of course. You'll probably see him there by his lonesome or someone else walk out just before you. Sit down either across from him or behind the screen -- it's totally up to you whether or not you prefer to remain anonymous. He won't treat you any differently either way. Make the sign of the cross upon his prompt, saying, "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been (blank) since my last confession." This is your standard, traditional phrasing. However, if you just sit down and say hello, that's fine, too. The priest knows what he's doing. The Byzantine Rite is a bit different. The priest may sit to your side and put his epitrachelion on your head. He may then also do the Prayer of Absolution. But the idea remains the exact same -- just go wherever he takes you. Once you sit down and you've made the sign of the cross, just sit back and follow the priest's lead. He'll ask you how long it's been since your last confession (if you don't voluntarily offer that information), how you are feeling, maybe how your faith is going, and then ask you what sins you would like to talk about with him and God. It's just a casual conversation! Do not fret. There is absolutely zero pressure on your part. Again, as long as you come there with the intention of leaving with a clean heart, you're more than welcome in the church. There is no wrong way to go about confession! This part is intimidating, but think about it this way: the priest you're talking to has probably heard just about everything before. Whatever you have to say will not blow his mind. So when he asks, start rattling them off, from the most serious to the least. If he asks any questions, answer them, but do not feel the need to go into detail. A simple, "I did so and so," will suffice. Your priest is going to be very understanding. If you don't remember the exact timeframe, that's fine. If you don't remember your motivation, that's fine. All your priest cares about is that you're being as honest as possible and that your heart is in the right place. He'll talk you through everything, possibly asking about your intentions, but mainly just letting you know that God loves you, sin and all. If he has any ideas to bring you closer to God, he may suggest them at this juncture. He's there to help, after all. He will then ask you to make an Act of Contrition. That goes like this: My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good,I have sinned against You whom I should loveabove all things. I firmly intend, with your help,to do penance, to sin no more, andto avoid whatever leads me to sin.Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.In his name, my God, have mercy (If you are a Roman Catholic, your act of contrition will go like this: Oh my God, I am very sorry for having offended thee. I detest all of my sins because of thy just punishment. But most of all, because they offend you, my God, who is all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of thy grace, to sin no more, and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen. Don't worry! It won't be anything huge. You may even walk away just having to say a few meaningful prayers. Take the absolution to heart -- you now have a brand new, clean slate to work with. It'll feel so uplifting! Just to clarify, "absolution" means your sins are washed away. "Penance" is your expression of regret and repentance, showing God that you're truly sorry for what you've done and that you wish for nothing more than to be forgiven.

I am a movie director and I just received the following movie plot. Could you help me answer this question? If not, let me know by writing "Not answerable". Plot title: Titanic Movie plot: At the last minute, a wealthy American expatriate in Europe, Richard Sturges (Clifton Webb), buys a steerage-class ticket for the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic from a Basque immigrant. Once aboard he seeks out his runaway wife, Julia (Barbara Stanwyck). He discovers she is trying to take their two unsuspecting children, 18-year-old Annette (Audrey Dalton) and ten-year-old Norman (Harper Carter), to her hometown of Mackinac, Michigan, to raise as down-to-earth Americans rather than rootless elitists like Richard himself. As the ship prepares for departure, her captain, E. J. Smith (Brian Aherne), receives a hint from the shipping company representative that a record-setting speedy passage would be welcomed. Other passengers include a wealthy woman of a working-class origin (based on a real-life Titanic survivor Molly Brown), Maude Young (Thelma Ritter); social-climbing Earl Meeker (Allyn Joslyn); a 20-year-old Purdue University tennis player, Gifford "Giff" Rogers (Robert Wagner); and George S. Healey (Richard Basehart), a Catholic priest who has been defrocked for alcoholism. When Annette learns her mother's intentions, she insists on returning to Europe with her father on the next ship as soon as they reach America. Julia concedes that her daughter is old enough to make her own decisions, but she insists on keeping custody of Norman. This angers Richard, forcing Julia to reveal that Norman is not his child, but rather the result of a one-night stand after one of their many bitter arguments. Upon hearing that, he agrees to give up all claim to Norman. Richard joins Maude, Earl, and George Widener in the lounge to play contract bridge with them. The next morning, when Norman reminds Richard about a shuffleboard game they had scheduled, Richard coldly brushes him off. Meanwhile Giff falls for Annette at first glance. At first she repulses his brash attempts to become better acquainted, but eventually she warms to him. That night, Giff, Annette and a group of young people sing and play the piano in the dining...

Please answer the following question: I am trying to decide whether it's worth it to invest in this film proposal. Can you help me answer a few questions? If you can't, please say "No I can't". Question: Who does Hondo pin to the ground? Movie title: Hondo Movie plot: The story takes place at some point between 1869 and 1877 (It is mentioned in the dialogue that Ulysses S. Grant is President). At a remote ranch in the Arizona Territory, homesteader Angie Lowe (Geraldine Page) and her six-year-old son Johnny (Lee Aaker) come upon a stranger (John Wayne) on foot, carrying only his saddle bags and a rifle. The man tells them only his last name, Lane, and that he was riding dispatch for the US Army Cavalry. He had lost his horse in an encounter with some Indians. Angie tells Lane her ranch hand had quit before he had a chance to break her two horses for riding, so Lane offers to break a horse himself. He asks where her husband is, and she says he is rounding up cattle in the mountains and should return soon. Lane deduces from the neglected ranch that her husband has been away for some time, a fact she confesses is true. When night falls Angie offers to let Lane sleep in her home. Angie sees his rifle is inscribed "Hondo" Lane, whom she knows had killed three men the year before. She attempts to shoot him, but due to the first chamber being empty, Hondo is not hurt. He loads the chamber and tells her to keep it that way. Hondo returns to his Cavalry post, where he meets up with his friend Buffalo Baker (Ward Bond). He reports to his commanding officer that C troop, which was sent to gather and bring in settlers to the north, was killed by Apaches. It is clear to the Major (Paul Fix) that the Apaches are raiding and killing settlers. At the ranch, Angie and Johnny are beset by Apaches, led by Chief Vittoro (Michael Pate) and his main under-chief, Silva (Rodolfo Acosta). Angie is not nervous in their presence as they have never attacked her family before. This time, they begin manhandling Angie. Johnny emerges from the house with the pistol and shoots at Silva. As Silva recovers and approaches him, he throws the pistol at Silva. Vittoro is impressed by Johnny's bravery and makes him an Apache blood brother. Vittoro wonders where Angie's husband is and tells her that unless he...
Answer: | In the movie "Hondo," Hondo Lane, portrayed by John Wayne, pins Silva to the ground. Silva, played by Rodolfo Acosta, is the main under-chief of the Apache tribe led by Chief Vittoro, portrayed by Michael Pate. The incident occurs later in the movie when Hondo returns to Angie Lowe's (Geraldine Page) ranch to protect her and her son Johnny (Lee Aaker).
Initially, Angie and Johnny have a peaceful relationship with the Apaches, as the tribe has never attacked them before. However, the situation takes a turn when the Apache tribe starts raiding and killing settlers. When Chief Vittoro and Silva come to Angie's ranch and begin manhandling her, Johnny, trying to protect his mother, shoots at Silva. Chief Vittoro is impressed by Johnny's bravery and makes him an Apache blood brother.
Aware of the threat the Apaches pose to Angie and Johnny, Hondo takes it upon himself to protect them. Eventually, Hondo faces off against Silva in combat and manages to pin him to the ground. This altercation reflects the ongoing conflict between settlers and the Apache tribe, as well as Hondo's growing attachment to Angie and Johnny.
In conclusion, Hondo pins Silva, the main under-chief of the Apache tribe, to the ground when the situation between the settlers and the Apaches escalates dangerously. This event is significant to the story as it demonstrates Hondo's determination to protect Angie and Johnny, pivotal characters in the film. | You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task.

Please answer the following question: Build a movie plot around this: Who contacted the arms dealer? An assassin
Answer: | Title: The Shadow's Trade
Genre: Action/Thriller
Plot:
In a world of danger and deception, a formidable assassin, codenamed Shadow (played by Charlize Theron), finds herself tangled in a complex web of secrecy and deceit. After years of successfully eliminating high-value targets for various unscrupulous clients, Shadow is determined to identify and destroy the puppet master behind this underground network of criminals.
As the movie begins, she receives a mysterious and encrypted message. A little digging reveals that it's from a renowned arms dealer known as The Broker (played by Idris Elba) whom she has never encountered before. This enigmatic figure has a vast network of connections, providing state-of-the-art weaponry to various criminals and governments.
Shadow's interest is piqued when she realizes that it's a tip-off about an assassination target – a seemingly unassuming journalist uncovering a massive conspiracy involving illegal arms trade, high-level corruption, and extrajudicial killings. With her incredible skillset, she manages to eliminate the target but discovers that it was a trap laid by The Broker to bring her into his deadly game.
With no other choice, Shadow decides to infiltrate The Broker's organization and unravel his true motives. Along the way, she encounters a rogue government agent, Lucas (played by Chris Evans), who has been investigating The Broker for years. Reluctantly, they form an uneasy alliance as they dig deeper into the arms dealer's dark empire.
As they get closer to the truth, they uncover a powerful and sinister syndicate called 'The Red Queen' that operates at the highest echelons of power. The Red Queen has been manipulating global events to strengthen its foothold, using The Broker's services as a means to an end.
With the odds stacked against them, Shadow and Lucas must outsmart their enemies, infiltrate the organization, and expose the secretive and ruthless mastermind pulling the strings. But they soon realize that their lives, and the lives of countless others, hang in the balance.
In the thrilling climax, Shadow faces off against The Broker, who is revealed to be a former rival assassin that she had presumed dead. In an epic battle flooded with flashing lights and heart-pounding suspense, Shadow eliminates The Broker and delivers the evidence to bring down the entire syndicate. In the end, she has avenged her own betrayal and disrupted the global criminal enterprise, securing her place as one of the world's most feared assassins.
The movie leaves audiences with the tantalizing possibility of future missions for Shadow, as she and Lucas part ways, their uneasy alliance hinting at the potential for a more significant partnership down the line. | You are an AI assistant that follows instruction extremely well.

In a world of danger and deception, a formidable assassin, codenamed Shadow (played by Charlize Theron), finds herself tangled in a complex web of secrecy and deceit. After years of successfully eliminating high-value targets for various unscrupulous clients, Shadow is determined to identify and destroy the puppet master behind this underground network of criminals.
As the movie begins, she receives a mysterious and encrypted message. A little digging reveals that it's from a renowned arms dealer known as The Broker (played by Idris Elba) whom she has never encountered before. This enigmatic figure has a vast network of connections, providing state-of-the-art weaponry to various criminals and governments.
Shadow's interest is piqued when she realizes that it's a tip-off about an assassination target – a seemingly unassuming journalist uncovering a massive conspiracy involving illegal arms trade, high-level corruption, and extrajudicial killings. With her incredible skillset, she manages to eliminate the target but discovers that it was a trap laid by The Broker to bring her into his deadly game.
With no other choice, Shadow decides to infiltrate The Broker's organization and unravel his true motives. Along the way, she encounters a rogue government agent, Lucas (played by Chris Evans), who has been investigating The Broker for years. Reluctantly, they form an uneasy alliance as they dig deeper into the arms dealer's dark empire.
As they get closer to the truth, they uncover a powerful and sinister syndicate called 'The Red Queen' that operates at the highest echelons of power. The Red Queen has been manipulating global events to strengthen its foothold, using The Broker's services as a means to an end.
With the odds stacked against them, Shadow and Lucas must outsmart their enemies, infiltrate the organization, and expose the secretive and ruthless mastermind pulling the strings. But they soon realize that their lives, and the lives of countless others, hang in the balance.
In the thrilling climax, Shadow faces off against The Broker, who is revealed to be a former rival assassin that she had presumed dead. In an epic battle flooded with flashing lights and heart-pounding suspense, Shadow eliminates The Broker and delivers the evidence to bring down the entire syndicate. In the end, she has avenged her own betrayal and disrupted the global criminal enterprise, securing her place as one of the world's most feared assassins.
The movie leaves audiences with the tantalizing possibility of future missions for Shadow, as she and Lucas part ways, their uneasy alliance hinting at the potential for a more significant partnership down the line. </s><s>[INST] | 3,009 |

Nigerian boy called a witch: "They would take my clothes off, tie me up and beat me" Children with unusual markings, stubbornness or epilepsy make frequent targets. Director of nonprofit says accused often incarcerated in churches for weeks on end. Pastors have been accused of worsening the problem, aid workers say.
Article: | Title: The Dark Reality of Witch Hunts Against Children in Nigeria
Introduction:
In recent years, a troubling trend has emerged in Nigeria, wherein children are accused of witchcraft and subjected to various forms of disturbing abuse. This shocking behavior has turned the lives of these young souls into living nightmares, as they are falsely labeled witches due to their unusual physical markings, unyielding personalities, or having medical conditions like epilepsy. Additionally, the involvement of certain religious figures has only aggravated the issue.
Step 1: Introduce the case of the Nigerian boy accused of witchcraft
One heart-wrenching example of this cruel practice is the story of a young Nigerian boy who was relentlessly tormented after being branded a witch. "They would take my clothes off, tie me up, and beat me," he recounts, describing the inhumane treatment he faced at the hands of superstitious individuals.
Step 2: Discuss the criteria for children being targeted
Misguided beliefs concerning witchcraft are often the driving force behind such allegations and subsequent abuse. Children with unusual physical markings, obstinate behavior or medical conditions like epilepsy are frequent targets, as they are wrongly labeled as cursed or possessed by malevolent forces.
Step 3: Mention the involvement of religious institutions
In some cases, these children are incarcerated in churches for weeks on end, as the directors of nonprofit organizations reveal. This harrowing ordeal continues for far too long, and the fact that those who are dedicated to providing guidance and support to others are involved is deeply concerning.
Step 4: Explain the role of pastors in exacerbating the problem
Aid workers suggest that pastors from various congregations have been complicit in worsening the situation. Instead of promoting empathy, understanding, and fact-based knowledge, they exploit the fear and superstition of their congregation, further cementing the demonization of these vulnerable children who are merely victims of circumstance.
Step 5: Call for reform and an end to these practices
The ordeal that these children face in Nigeria is abhorrent and has no place in the modern world. It is crucial that the Nigerian society and the international community join forces to address these issues. This can be achieved through education, awareness campaigns, and ensuring that those involved in propagating such beliefs and practices face legal consequences.
Conclusion:
The heartrending story of the young Nigerian boy accused of witchcraft, along with other similar cases, should serve as a stark reminder that society must continuously strive to eradicate superstitions and adopt evidence-based practices. The overwhelming fear of the supernatural, driven by misplaced beliefs and reinforced by certain religious authorities, needs to be addressed and dismantled. For the sake of the innocent victims who suffer unimaginably, it is time to shed light on this dark reality and take steps to eliminate these cruel practices from our world. | You are an AI assistant.

Generate a question about the following movie plot: Brooklyn, New York 1969. A group of four boys walk up to Bleek Gilliam (Zakee L. Howze)'s brownstone rowhouse and ask him to come out and play baseball with them. Bleek's mother insists that he continue his trumpet lesson, to his chagrin. His father becomes concerned that Bleek will grow up to be a sissy, and a family argument ensues. In the end, Bleek continues playing his trumpet, and his friends go away.20 years later.

Giant (Spike Lee), whom is the Quintet's manager and one of Bleek's former childhood friends, is waiting in the wings, and advises him to stop allowing his saxophone player Shadow Henderson to grandstand with long solos.The next morning Bleek wakes up with his girlfriend, Indigo Downes (Joie Lee). She leaves to go to college classes, while he meets his father by the Brooklyn Bridge for a game of catch, telling him that while he does like Indigo, he likes other women too and is not ready to make a commitment. Later in the day while he is practicing his trumpet, another woman named Clarke Bentancourt (Cynda Williams) visits him. She suggests he fire Giant as his manager; he suggests that they make love (which he refers to as 'mo better').

The next morning I called up my friend, Nick Unger, who worked for the police department. He agreed to meet me at the Casbah, a glorious little dive bar a few blocks from my apartment. It opened first thing in the morning, realizing the best drunks start early. By the time he showed up I was already deep into my third drink and trying charm the bartender, Maggie, into comping my fourth. I was failing miserably as usual, but at least it was fun trying. As soon as Nick walked through the front door, I slammed my palm down on the bar top. "Tricky Nicky! Have a drink, brother!" He slid onto the bar stool beside me and smiled warmly at the bartender. "Has this low life been giving you grief, Maggie?" She grinned at him. "Only since I opened the front door." Nick winked at her and ordered a half-pint of stout. "Pansy," I scoffed and slammed the rest of my whiskey. He shook his head. "God I miss you, you mad bastard. I can't imagine why Andrea won't let you come around the house anymore." I shrugged. "I know, it's like as soon as she started squirting out brood, she suddenly gets all uptight about people starting fires in the middle of your living room." "Imagine," he said as he raised his glass of beer. I clinked my empty glass to his. "So guess who I ran into last night at Jenny's wedding?" He shrugged. "Brian Lopez." He chuckled. "No shit. How is old Double-Dip?' "Fat and sad," I replied while waving Maggie over for a refill. "And married to a smoking hottie. Well, married or engaged or whatever." Nick nodded. "I met her. They were at a Police Union dinner around the holidays. She's a butterface." I arched my eyebrow. "She had a face?" Maggie rolled her eyes while she filled my glass. Nick caught her glance. "I know, he's got no class, but what are you gonna do?" "Anyways," I continued, "she's way too hot for him, and that's not gonna end well. You just know that one of these days he's gonna come home and find her with the pool boy or some shit." Question: What time does the Casbah open? === The answer to the above question is

Santorum, Romney Spar Over Conservative Principles As Michigan Race Tightens
Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney are sharply challenging one another's conservative principles as they charge into the airtight primary contest in Romney's home state -- a critical election that has compelled Santorum to drop a bit of his nice-guy demeanor.
Santorum, who campaigned across Michigan Saturday, has used campaign and media appearances to lambaste Romney as a big-spending, big-government, "pro-choice gay-rights supporting" candidate -- at least when he was governor of Massachusetts.
"It's laughable for Governor Romney to suggest that I am not a conservative. It's absolutely laughable for a liberal governor of Massachusetts to suggest that I am not conservative -- the man that provided the template for Obamacare, the man who supported the Wall Street bailouts," Santorum said Saturday.
While assailing the wealthiest candidate in the race for his support of Wall Street, Santorum also continued to test a new line of attack, suggesting Romney's tax plan smacks of "Occupy" movement politics. Santorum complained about proposals to limit deductions and exemptions for wealthy earners.
"We have a Republican running for president who is campaigning as an Occupy Wall Street adherent. What's he going to do? He's going to limit charitable deductions on the top 1 percent," Santorum said.
It may be difficult for Santorum to make that charge stick. If anything, Romney has struggled to shed the image that he's anything but the 1 percent -- having run into trouble a day earlier for casually noting how his wife drives "a couple of Cadillacs."
Romney, meanwhile, is targeting Santorum's credibility.
In Lansing, Mich., on Saturday, he swiped at his opponent over his comment at the last debate that he only voted for No Child Left Behind because he had to "take one for the team."
"Um -- the team has got to be the people of America," Romney said.
His campaign has also released web videos challenging the former Pennsylvania senator's principles.
Romney spokeswoman Gail Gitcho suggested the "desperate and false attacks" by Santorum were a response to recent poll figures.
"This sounds like another case of Rick Santorum abandoning his principles for his own political advantage," she said in a statement.
Recent polling shows Santorum holding onto the lead nationally, but losing the edge to Romney in Michigan.
The latest Rasmussen Reports poll showed Romney leading Santorum in the state 40-34 percent. Santorum had been ahead in most Michigan polls for the past couple weeks.
Arizona, where Romney has held the consistent lead in polling, also holds its primary on Tuesday along with Michigan. But Michigan has emerged as a vital contest, and a veritable must-win state for Romney. It was the state where he was born, where his father was governor and where he won in the 2008 GOP presidential primary.
Romney, along with his wife Ann, will be campaigning across the state on Saturday in the competition with Santorum for voters.
The other two candidates, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul, are far back in the polls in Tuesday's contests and looking ahead to subsequent primaries and caucuses.
Gingrich told Fox News he expects to "get some votes" on Tuesday but acknowledged the frontrunner status held by Romney and Santorum.
"I think Santorum is discovering, in Michigan, where he was ahead a week ago, that when Romney goes negative and when he buys enough advertising, that he's very formidable," Gingrich said.
Gingrich noted that he's been campaigning in Washington state, which holds its caucuses shortly before the Super Tuesday primaries on March 6, when 10 states hold elections.
Paul is holding a rally in Oklahoma on Saturday, before making his way to Michigan.
Even if Santorum beats Romney, Romney will emerge with a healthy share of delegates to add to his lead in the count, never mind fundraising and campaign organization in a race that was designed to carry into the spring.
And there is the chance for a split decision if Romney wins the popular vote but Santorum emerges with more delegates. Most of the state's 30 delegates are awarded two at a time to the winner in each of the state's 14 congressional districts.

On ‘whole cloth’ quilting, try voiding shapes as well as filling shapes. On patchwork, think about filling different areas or imposing an all over pattern. Use a printed fabric for backing and stitch the outlines of the pattern from the back and then quilt in the areas from the front – this works well with large scale furnishing fabrics. Use a free zigzag stitch to create fill patterns. | Title: Fun Ways to Make Beautiful Quilts
Hello, little friends! Today we are going to talk about an exciting way to make pretty quilts. Quilts are like warm blankets made from many pieces of colorful fabric sewn together. There are different ways to make quilts, but we will talk about two special ways: "whole cloth" quilting and "patchwork" quilting.
Whole Cloth Quilting:
Do you know whole cloth quilting? It's when we use a big piece of fabric and sew lovely patterns onto it. We can make pictures, shapes, and designs with our sewing. One fun thing to do is make "voiding" shapes. This means making empty spaces shaped like hearts, stars, or anything you like. You can also fill these shapes with colorful stitches to make them extra pretty.
Patchwork Quilting:
Another amazing way to make quilts is called "patchwork." This is when we sew lots of small, differently shaped pieces of fabric together, like a puzzle. When we do this, we can fill each area with a beautiful pattern. Or, you can make one big pattern that covers everything!
Using Printed Fabric:
One really cool idea is to use printed fabric for the back of your quilt. Printed fabric has pretty pictures or patterns on it already. You can sew along the outlines of these pictures from the back, and then fill in the areas from the front. This works very well with large pieces of fancy fabric. It makes your quilt very special!
Zigzag Stitch:
When you're making patterns and designs, you can use a "zigzag stitch." This stitch is like drawing a zigzag, going up and down, up and down. It's a fun way to create lots of different fill patterns for your quilts.
And that's it, little friends! Now you know some wonderful ways to make beautiful quilts. You can try these ideas with your family and friends, and make warm, colorful blankets for everyone. Have fun sewing and creating! | You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation. Think like you are answering to a five year old. | <s>[INST] <<SYS>>

Write some highlights for the following article:
He is the high-flying brain surgeon whose frank memoir moved David Cameron to tears over Christmas. But Henry Marsh, author of Do No Harm, has returned the favour by accusing the Prime Minister of having ‘c**p’ policy ideas and fomenting a ‘permanent revolution’ in the NHS that demoralises staff. Mr Marsh warns that the NHS ‘is seriously running out of money’ and says: ‘Most politicians now, particularly Cameron . . . haven’t got a burning vision.’ Mr Cameron told The Mail on Sunday this month that Mr Marsh’s book had dominated his reading over the festive period. ‘He writes about some of his own cases, some that went right and some that went wrong. And you are moved to tears by reading this book,’ he said. Leading brain surgeon Henry Marsh (pictured) has accused the Prime Minister of fomenting a 'permanent revolution' in the NHS which is demoralising staff. The Prime Minister told friends he was particularly affected by Mr Marsh’s story of a pregnant mother who feared she would never see her baby because of a brain tumour, but the surgeon managed to remove the tumour just before she gave birth. Now Mr Marsh has responded by arguing that the Government has mishandled the Health Service. In today’s Mail on Sunday (below), he sets out a three-point plan to restore public confidence: admit honestly that queues will continue to lengthen unless the Government pays more for the NHS; scrap the target of treating 95 per cent of A&E patients in four hours; and bring back longer waiting lists for routine operations. ‘Politicians ought to stand up and say, “I’m sorry, but unless you agree to pay higher taxes, you are going to have to put up with longer queues”,’ he writes. ‘The first few hours [of the day] are often shambolic, spent finding beds for emergency cases. Many routine cases get cancelled at the last moment, as “their” beds are filled by emergencies . . . This has led to a sense of demoralising chaos.’ The surgeon opens Do No Harm by saying: ‘I often have to cut into the brain and it is something I hate doing.’ In today’s Total Politics magazine, he attacks Mr Cameron for pledging to make ‘zero harm a reality in our NHS’ in response to the Mid Staffordshire scandal. ‘Another grouse I have against the present Government is this zero harm c**p. There’s never going to be zero harm. Nothing is perfect,’ he says, adding: ‘Most politicians now, particularly Cameron, are not really ideological. They haven’t got a burning vision . . . This constant permanent cultural revolution in the NHS is very demoralising.’ Mr Marsh is brutally honest about his own mistakes in Do No Harm. He recalls a 15-hour operation in which he tore an artery, leaving his patient in a vegetative state. In Total Politics, he says politicians would benefit from equal frankness. ‘You know from bitter experience that . . . bad results are inevitable,’ he adds. It’s time for a dose of honesty if you want shorter queues you have to PAY, writes leading brain surgeon Henry Marsh. David Cameron's NHS reforms have been 'chaotic', brain surgeon Henry Marsh says. By Henry Marsh. I cannot but feel flattered that the Prime Minister read my memoir of life as an NHS neurosurgeon over Christmas, as revealed by The Mail on Sunday. I am told he was very moved by it. But I wonder whether he skipped the passages about political meddling, the constant lack of beds, and this Government’s and its predecessor’s chaotic reforms. I hope not. Because now, as the NHS struggles through yet another winter crisis, what politicians need more than ever is a good dose of honesty. Rather than exchanging brickbats over the latest weekly A&E figures, they should take a step back, think about what’s really gone wrong, and be straight with the public. They have been talking a lot of late about the need for transparency in the NHS – is it too much to ask the same from them? So, after a 36-year career in the NHS that has seen five Prime Ministers and 15 Health Secretaries, here’s my advice for the current PM. First, come clean and tell voters that queues will get longer unless they are prepared to pay more for the NHS. Second, have the courage to scrap targets – including the sacred cow of treating 95 per cent of A&E patients in four hours. Third, bring back longer waiting lists for routine operations. Why say these heretical things? The fact we have queues in the NHS is a simple fact of economic law. It’s about supply and demand. The NHS is free at the point of delivery – as in my opinion it should be – which means demand is high. But it is in scarce supply. There are never enough doctors and nurses, in other words. Because there is no charge for NHS treatment – and don’t get me wrong, I do not think there should be – we end up with queues. As our population gets bigger and we age as a nation, demand for healthcare is growing. So politicians ought to stand up and say, ‘I’m sorry, but unless you agree to pay higher taxes, you will have to put up with longer queues, particularly for non-urgent treatment.’ I hope Mr Cameron – who like me has a First in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from Oxford – understands this. Tony Blair brought in targets in an effort to keep queues for pre-planned operations down by fining hospitals that failed to treat patients in 18 weeks. But this was a bad idea, verging on dishonest, since it implied the problem was just a question of getting staff to work ‘more efficiently’. Yet the NHS has been underfunded relative to other developed countries for decades, and many of these other countries – such as France – are themselves now encountering similar issues. Introducing targets is like trying to square the circle of supply and demand – an impossibility if the NHS is working flat out, as it is. Mr Marsh (pictured) believes the NHS has been underfunded relative to other developed countries for decades. This might all sound rather theoretical. But targets have very real, unintended consequences in hospitals. For instance, because managers are always trying to hit targets for pre-planned operations, the beds are always full. This causes endless problems, especially when we have a run of emergency cases. When I go to work each morning I never know whether I will be able to get anything done, and the first few hours are often shambolic, spent finding beds for emergency cases. Many routine cases get cancelled at the last moment, as ‘their’ beds are filled by emergencies. It’s like a game of musical chairs, which gets faster and faster with each year, with the Government constantly changing the music but not adding beds to keep up with the growing number who need them. Mr Marsh's memoir (pictured) was said to have moved Prime Minister David Cameron to tears. This has led to a sense of demoralising chaos, a feeling that I know is shared by an awful lot of people working in hospitals. In the past, we had long waiting lists for routine surgery. Of course, this wasn’t perfect, but at least it was honest. And it meant doctors could more easily give priority to the emergency cases, as we have to. It’s not just targets for routine operations that have a lot to answer for. There has been a huge fuss in the press over hospitals missing the target of treating 95 per cent of A&E patients within four hours. But it’s only gone from something like 96 per cent to just under 90 per cent. That’s not bad for an emergency service. Internationally, it’s par for the course. But politicians insist on whacking each other over the head over a few percentage points. What truly matters is that the real emergencies – strokes, heart attacks, serious injuries and in my case brain tumours – are treated promptly. I think the four-hour target has got in the way of that. LESS well known is the target that limits how many people we admit as emergencies. If hospitals admit too many, they are penalised financially, which I find bizarre. Are we supposed not to treat them? I take an intense personal pride in looking after my patients. I did not like having a waiting list for routine cases, but I hate even more having to cancel these cases at the last minute – it’s horrible for the patients. And it’s alarmingly easy to start becoming like a bureaucrat myself, turning the patients away and saying: ‘It’s not my problem.’ So, as much as politicians don’t want to say it and the public probably don’t want to hear it, I think we need to abolish targets and reintroduce waiting lists for non-urgent surgery, if politicians feel it is impossible to put much more money into the NHS. Are they brave enough to admit this as the General Election looms? It was not easy to write my book and admit I have made serious mistakes in my career. Yet I have received hundreds – probably thousands – of messages thanking me for my honesty and saying that my admission of fallibility made readers trust me more, not less. Is there perhaps a moral here for our politicians?

Write some highlights for the following article:
He is the high-flying brain surgeon whose frank memoir moved David Cameron to tears over Christmas. But Henry Marsh, author of Do No Harm, has returned the favour by accusing the Prime Minister of having ‘c**p’ policy ideas and fomenting a ‘permanent revolution’ in the NHS that demoralises staff. Mr Marsh warns that the NHS ‘is seriously running out of money’ and says: ‘Most politicians now, particularly Cameron . . . haven’t got a burning vision.’ Mr Cameron told The Mail on Sunday this month that Mr Marsh’s book had dominated his reading over the festive period. ‘He writes about some of his own cases, some that went right and some that went wrong. And you are moved to tears by reading this book,’ he said. Leading brain surgeon Henry Marsh (pictured) has accused the Prime Minister of fomenting a 'permanent revolution' in the NHS which is demoralising staff. The Prime Minister told friends he was particularly affected by Mr Marsh’s story of a pregnant mother who feared she would never see her baby because of a brain tumour, but the surgeon managed to remove the tumour just before she gave birth. Now Mr Marsh has responded by arguing that the Government has mishandled the Health Service. In today’s Mail on Sunday (below), he sets out a three-point plan to restore public confidence: admit honestly that queues will continue to lengthen unless the Government pays more for the NHS; scrap the target of treating 95 per cent of A&E patients in four hours; and bring back longer waiting lists for routine operations. ‘Politicians ought to stand up and say, “I’m sorry, but unless you agree to pay higher taxes, you are going to have to put up with longer queues”,’ he writes. ‘The first few hours [of the day] are often shambolic, spent finding beds for emergency cases. Many routine cases get cancelled at the last moment, as “their” beds are filled by emergencies . . . This has led to a sense of demoralising chaos.’ The surgeon opens Do No Harm by saying: ‘I often have to cut into the brain and it is something I hate doing.’ In today’s Total Politics magazine, he attacks Mr Cameron for pledging to make ‘zero harm a reality in our NHS’ in response to the Mid Staffordshire scandal. ‘Another grouse I have against the present Government is this zero harm c**p. There’s never going to be zero harm. Nothing is perfect,’ he says, adding: ‘Most politicians now, particularly Cameron, are not really ideological. They haven’t got a burning vision . . . This constant permanent cultural revolution in the NHS is very demoralising.’ Mr Marsh is brutally honest about his own mistakes in Do No Harm. He recalls a 15-hour operation in which he tore an artery, leaving his patient in a vegetative state. In Total Politics, he says politicians would benefit from equal frankness. ‘You know from bitter experience that . . . bad results are inevitable,’ he adds. It’s time for a dose of honesty if you want shorter queues you have to PAY, writes leading brain surgeon Henry Marsh. David Cameron's NHS reforms have been 'chaotic', brain surgeon Henry Marsh says. By Henry Marsh. I cannot but feel flattered that the Prime Minister read my memoir of life as an NHS neurosurgeon over Christmas, as revealed by The Mail on Sunday. I am told he was very moved by it. But I wonder whether he skipped the passages about political meddling, the constant lack of beds, and this Government’s and its predecessor’s chaotic reforms. I hope not. Because now, as the NHS struggles through yet another winter crisis, what politicians need more than ever is a good dose of honesty. Rather than exchanging brickbats over the latest weekly A&E figures, they should take a step back, think about what’s really gone wrong, and be straight with the public. They have been talking a lot of late about the need for transparency in the NHS – is it too much to ask the same from them?

Answer the following question:
where does the blood in the pulmonary artery go? | The blood in the pulmonary artery goes through a series of circulation pathways to enable the process of oxygenation before it is transported back to the rest of the body. To provide a detailed understanding of this process, let's first examine the role of the pulmonary artery.
The pulmonary artery is a large blood vessel originating from the right ventricle of the heart. It carries deoxygenated blood (blood that has already released oxygen to tissues) from the heart to the lungs. This blood is transported to the lungs to pick up oxygen and release carbon dioxide before returning to the heart for distribution to the rest of the body.
Here is a step-by-step process of where the blood in the pulmonary artery goes:
1. Deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle is carried by the pulmonary artery, which divides into two branches: the left and right pulmonary arteries. These branches correspond to the respective lungs (left lung and right lung) that they supply with blood.
2. In the lungs, the left and right pulmonary arteries further branch into numerous smaller arteries, arterioles, and eventually capillaries. These capillaries spread across the lung tissue, surrounding millions of tiny air sacs called alveoli.
3. Within the alveoli, a critical gas exchange occurs across the thin walls of the capillaries: oxygen from the inhaled air diffuses into the bloodstream while carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the alveoli. This process is known as respiration.
4. Now oxygen-enriched, the blood moves into the pulmonary venules and then into larger pulmonary veins. There are typically four pulmonary veins, two from each lung, which transport the oxygenated blood back to the heart.
5. The oxygenated blood makes its way into the left atrium of the heart through the pulmonary veins. From the left atrium, the blood is pumped into the left ventricle during the contraction of the atrium.
6. Finally, the blood is pumped from the left ventricle into the aorta, the body’s largest artery, during the contraction of the ventricle. The aorta branches into numerous smaller arteries, which further branch into arterioles and capillaries, distributing the nutrient- and oxygen-rich blood throughout the body.
In summary, the blood in the pulmonary artery travels to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. The oxygenated blood then returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins and is subsequently pumped to the rest of the body through the systemic circulation. This continuous process ensures that the body's cells receive the necessary oxygen and nutrients to function while simultaneously removing waste products such as carbon dioxide. | You are an AI assistant.

Burkina Faso's fairytale at the Africa Cup of Nations will have one more enthralling chapter after it overcame the might of four-time champion Ghana to seal a place in the final for the very first time in South Africa Wednesday. In a contest which was marred by a number of mystifying refereeing decisions, Burkina Faso survived the sending off of striker David Pitroipa and the ruling out of a seemingly legitimate strike to prevail on penalties. With the game ending 1-1 after extra-time, it was the Burkinabe which held its nerve to progress 3-2 on penalties and advance to Sunday's showpiece final against Nigeria. 'Super Eagles' end Ivory Coast's AFCON hopes. The Super Eagles had earlier booked their place in the final with a convincing 4-1 win over Mali in Durban. Burkina Faso, which had not won a game away from home at the tournament before arriving in South Afirca, had endured a frustrating night with referee Jdidi Slim's display a constant cause of consternation. But it will now have to take on Nigeria without star striker Jonathan Pitroipa, who was harshly shown a second yellow card for diving when it looked as if he had been fouled. Pitroipa's 117th minute dismissal leaves the Burkinabe without its two star strikers following the injury to talented forward Alain Traore. Burkina Faso should have been given the chance to take an early lead when John Boye sent Pitroipa hurtling towards the turf inside the Ghana penalty area, but the referee wrongly waved away appeals for a spot kick. Instead, it was Ghana which was controversially awarded a penalty after the Jdidi adjudged that Christian Atsu had been fouled inside the penalty area. Mubarak Wakaso stood up to fire home from 12 yards and net his fourth goal of the competition. What can we expect from the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations? With both teams struggling to play on a terrible surface at the Mbombela Stadium, the game lacked any real sort of quality. But what it lacked in quality it more than made up for in drama and excitement as Burkina Faso continued to fight back against a perceived injustice. Ghana goalkeeper Fatawu Dauda produced a wonderful reaction save to deny Aristide Bance, while Asamoah Gyan hit a post for the Black Stars. But with an hour on the clock, the underdog finally got its reward as Bance was allowed time and space to fire home a deserved equalizer. Burkina Faso make giant strides. With the game moving into extra-time, Burkina Faso appeared to have scored a dramatic winner when Prejuce Nakoulma beat Dauda to the ball and prodded into the net. But most of those packed inside the stadium were left in disbelief when Jdidi ruled the goal out for a minor clash with Kwadwo Asamoah. Worse was to follow for the Burkinabe when Pitroipa was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for diving , despite replays showing he was quite clearly fouled. In the end, the contest went to penalties and it was Burkina Faso which held its nerve with Bakary Kone, Henri Traore and Bance all scoring to send it through to the final. Burkina captain Charles Kabore told reporters: "The referee is human, all humans make mistakes, but he happened to make too many tonight. But we're not going to dwell on that, we've qualified." 'Super Eagles' end Ivory Coast's AFCON hopes. In the day's early kick off, Nigeria reached the final for the first time since 2000 following a comfortable victory over Mali. The Super Eages scored three times in 20 first half minutes to take control of the contest and leave manager Stephen Keshi dreaming of repeating the triumph he pulled off as a player in 1994. Elderson Echiejile headed Nigeria ahead on 25 minutes before Brown Ideye added a second on the half-hour mark. Momo Sissoko then deflected Emmanuel Emenike's free-kick into the Mali net to leave his side facing an uphill struggle. And Ahmed Musa, who replaced the injured Victor Moses , inflicted further punishment on Mali when he ran through to score eight minutes after the interval. Mali, which famously came back from 4-0 down to draw 4-4 with Angola in the opening game of the 2010 finals, pulled one back through substitute Cheick Diarra in the 75th minute. Nigeria go through. But that failed to take the shine off for manager Keshi, who is now hoping to become only the second man in the tournament's history to win the tournament as a player and a coach after Egypt's Mahmoud El Gohary, who won it in 1959 and 1998. "We won in 1994 after we had been together for five years," he told reporters. "But we have been together for five weeks. We met up for the first time in our training camp in Portugal before the tournament, and it was a young group. "We worked hard, the atmosphere was wonderful but you cannot compare this team to that. We did play very well today and I am very happy but we haven't won anything yet."

In the end, the contest went to penalties and it was Burkina Faso which held its nerve with Bakary Kone, Henri Traore and Bance all scoring to send it through to the final. Burkina captain Charles Kabore told reporters: "The referee is human, all humans make mistakes, but he happened to make too many tonight. But we're not going to dwell on that, we've qualified." 'Super Eagles' end Ivory Coast's AFCON hopes. In the day's early kick off, Nigeria reached the final for the first time since 2000 following a comfortable victory over Mali. The Super Eages scored three times in 20 first half minutes to take control of the contest and leave manager Stephen Keshi dreaming of repeating the triumph he pulled off as a player in 1994. Elderson Echiejile headed Nigeria ahead on 25 minutes before Brown Ideye added a second on the half-hour mark. Momo Sissoko then deflected Emmanuel Emenike's free-kick into the Mali net to leave his side facing an uphill struggle. And Ahmed Musa, who replaced the injured Victor Moses , inflicted further punishment on Mali when he ran through to score eight minutes after the interval. Mali, which famously came back from 4-0 down to draw 4-4 with Angola in the opening game of the 2010 finals, pulled one back through substitute Cheick Diarra in the 75th minute. Nigeria go through. But that failed to take the shine off for manager Keshi, who is now hoping to become only the second man in the tournament's history to win the tournament as a player and a coach after Egypt's Mahmoud El Gohary, who won it in 1959 and 1998. "We won in 1994 after we had been together for five years," he told reporters. "But we have been together for five weeks. We met up for the first time in our training camp in Portugal before the tournament, and it was a young group. "We worked hard, the atmosphere was wonderful but you cannot compare this team to that. We did play very well today and I am very happy but we haven't won anything yet."

Bali, Indonesia (CNN) -- President Barack Obama took part Friday in the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) economic summit and hailed an airplane sales deal between Boeing and an Indonesian airline. Obama was in Bali, Indonesia, for the ASEAN meeting in a region that accounts for more than half of the world's GDP. He held bilateral talks with India, the Philippines and Malaysia beforehand. Obama helped announce a large plane order for U.S.-based Boeing to Lion Air. "For the last several days, I've been talking about how we have to make sure that we've got a presence in this region, that it can result directly in jobs at home," Obama said in a statement. "And what we see here -- a multibillion-dollar deal between Lion Air -- one of the fastest-growing airlines not just in the region, but in the world -- and Boeing is going to result in over 100,000 jobs back in the United States of America, over a long period of time."

Weary of waiting for an economic recovery worth its name, a frustrated American public has sent Barack Obama's job approval rating to a career low - with a majority in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll favoring a Republican Congress to act as a check on his policies.
Registered voters by 53-39 percent in the national survey say they'd rather see the Republicans in control of Congress as a counterbalance to Obama's policies than a Democratic-led Congress to help support him. It was similar in fall 2010, when the Republicans took control of the House of Representatives and gained six Senate seats.
See PDF with full results and charts here.
Obama's job approval rating, after a slight winter rebound, has lost 5 points among all adults since March, to 41 percent, the lowest of his presidency by a single point. Fifty-two percent disapprove, with "strong" disapproval exceeding strong approval by 17 percentage points. He's lost ground in particular among some of his core support groups.
Economic discontent remains the driving element in political views in this survey, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates. Americans rate the condition of the economy negatively by 71-29 percent - the least bad since November 2007, but still dismal by any measure. Only 28 percent think the economy's improving, down by 9 points since just before Obama won his second term. He gets just 42 percent approval for handling it.
Economic views are strongly related to political preferences. Among people who see the economy improving, 65 percent prefer Democratic control of Congress, while among those who see the economy as stagnant or worsening, 62 percent favor Republican control. Notably, economic views are linked with preferences for control of Congress regardless of people's partisan affiliation.
The results suggest the corrosive effects of the long downturn on the president's popularity: Among those who say the economy is in bad shape, Obama's overall approval rating has lost 20 points since February 2012, from 46 percent then to 26 percent now.
The president faces other challenges. While he's hailed insurance exchange sign-ups as a marker of the Affordable Care Act's success, the program and his rating for handling it have lost ground, both down from their levels late last month after the Healthcare.gov website was stabilized. The law gets 44 percent support, down 5 points; Obama has just 37 percent approval for its implementation, down 7.
One reason is that the law seems to have opened an avenue for public ire about health care costs to be directed at the administration. Six in 10 blame the ACA for increasing costs nationally, and 47 percent think it's caused their own health care expenses to rise. Regardless of whether or how much those costs would have risen otherwise, Obamacare is taking a heavy dose of the blame.
Separately, a current issue on the world stage offers no respite for Obama: Given continued tensions over Ukraine, just 34 percent of Americans approve of how he's handling that situation, 8 points fewer than early last month. Forty-six percent disapprove, with two in 10 withholding judgment.
DISCONTENT/MIDTERMS - With these and other problems - but chiefly the economy - the public by more than 2-1, 66-30 percent, says the country's headed seriously off on the wrong track. That's about where it's been lately, and more negative than a year ago.
General anti-incumbency results: Just 22 percent of Americans say they're inclined to re-elect their representative in Congress, unchanged from last month as the fewest in ABC/Post polls dating back 25 years.
Another outcome is risk for the president's party, in punishment for his handling of the helm. A single point divides Democratic and Republican candidates for the House in preference among registered voters, 45-44 percent. Among those who say they're certain to vote (with Republicans more apt to show up in midterms), that goes to 44-49 percent.
Independents, a sometimes swing-voting group, favor Republican House candidates by 55-32 percent (among those who say they're certain to vote). And, as with views on control of Congress, perceptions of the economy correlate with congressional vote preference, regardless of partisanship.
ISSUES - None of this means the GOP is home free. A robust improvement in the economy could change the equation. (As many, at least, say it's currently holding steady, 35 percent, as think it's getting worse, 36 percent.) And even as the brunt of economic unhappiness falls on the president, the public divides essentially evenly on which party they trust more to handle the economy - suggesting that the Republicans have yet to present a broadly appealing alternative.
In another example, for all of Obamacare's controversies, the Democrats hold a slight 8-point edge in trust to handle health care, again indicating that the Republicans have yet to seize the opportunity to present a compelling solution of their own. Indeed, the Democrats have a 6-point lead in trust to handle "the main problems the nation faces" - although, as with all others, that narrows among likely voters, in this case to 37-40 percent, a numerical (but not significant) GOP edge.
The Republicans have a 9-point advantage in trust to handle the federal deficit - an improvement for the party from last month. Similarly, Americans by a 7-point margin trust the Republicans over Obama to find the right mix of spending to cut and federal programs to maintain. The president had an 11-point lead on that question just after the partial government shutdown last fall.
The Democrats push back with two results that they're likely to stress as the November election draws closer: One is a broad, 20-point advantage, 52-32 percent, in trust over the Republicans to help the middle class (but again, this narrows among likely voters). The other is an even wider, 30-point lead, 55-25 percent, in trust to handle issues of particular concern to women.
The Republicans have some vulnerability in other areas, as well. Americans say the Democratic Party comes closer than the GOP to their positions on climate change, by 18 points; whether or not to raise the minimum wage, by 16 points; gay marriage, by 14 points; and the issue of abortion, by 8 points. On one remaining issue, gun control, the Republicans have a slight, 5-point edge.
HEALTH CARE - Obamacare, for its part, is a subject the Republicans have sought to turn to their advantage in the midterm elections, and the poll results show ample opportunity.
Costs are a particular target. As noted, 47 percent of Americans feel that their health care costs are rising as a result of the ACA; 58 percent say the same about the overall costs of health care nationally. Just 8 and 11 percent, respectively, say the law has decreased these costs. If there's a case to be made that costs would have risen anyway - or that they would have risen faster absent the ACA - it's yet to resonate with large segments of the population.
Other assessments also are critical. The public by a 20-point margin, 44-24 percent, is more apt to say the law has made the overall health care system worse rather than better (although the number who say it's made things better is up by 5 points from December). The rest, 29 percent, see no change. Americans by 29-14 percent likewise say the ACA has made their own care worse rather than better, with more, 53 percent, reporting no impact.
Despite the website's improvements, half say the law's implementation is going worse than they expected when it began, vs. 41 percent better - another sign of the persistent antipathy that's dogged Obamacare from the start.
The poll also shows both the striking partisan division on Obamacare and the extent to which, on several questions, independents side more with Republicans on the issue. Thirty-eight percent of Democrats, for instance, say the ACA has increased health care costs nationally; that soars to 67 percent of independents and 73 percent of Republicans. And while 47 percent of Democrats think it's made the health care system better, just 6 and 16 percent of Republicans and independents, respectively, agree.
OBAMA/GROUPS - Divisions among groups remain especially stark in terms of Obama's ratings; further, as noted, he's lost ground in some of his core support groups. The president's approval rating since early March has lost 14 points among liberals, 12 points among people with postgraduate degrees, 10 points among urban residents, 9 points among Democrats and 7 points among those with incomes less than $50,000. He's lost 9 points among independents as well.
With 41 percent approval overall (his previous low was 42 percent last November and the same in October 2011), Obama's at new lows among nonwhites (61-34 percent, approve-disapprove) and liberals (63-31 percent), and matches his lows among moderates (46-48 percent) and independents (33-59 percent). His rating among Democrats, 74-22 percent, is a single point from its low.
Other results also mark the extent of the difficulties facing Obama and his party alike. A form of statistical analysis called regression finds that, as noted above, views on the economy correlate both with congressional vote preference, and views on which party should control Congress, independently of partisan affiliation. That suggests that the Democrats are in serious need of a positive shift in economic views.
That may be hard to accomplish. While 50 percent of Democrats say the economy's in good shape, that plummets not only among Republicans but independents as well, to 12 and 22 percent, respectively. And while 46 percent of Democrats see improvement in the economy, again just 22 percent of independents, and 15 percent of Republicans, agree.
Preferences on which party controls Congress may reflect a general inclination in favor of divided government - and don't always predict outcomes, as in 2002, when more registered voters preferred Democratic control yet the GOP held its ground. It's striking, nonetheless, that this poll finds Republican control favored not only in the 2012 red states, by 56-36 percent, but also by 51-41 percent in the blue states that backed Obama fewer than two years ago.
METHODOLOGY - This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by telephone April 24-27, 2014, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 1,000 adults, including landline and cell-phone-only respondents. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points, including design effect. Partisan divisions are 32-21-38 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents.

Democrats face serious obstacles as they look to the November elections, with President Obama’s approval rating at a new low and a majority of voters saying they prefer a Congress in Republican hands to check the president’s agenda, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Obama’s approval rating fell to 41 percent, down from 46 percent through the first three months of the year and the lowest of his presidency in Post-ABC News polls. Just 42 percent approve of his handling of the economy, 37 percent approve of how he is handling the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and 34 percent approve of his handling of the situation involving Ukraine and Russia.
Obama’s low rating could be a significant drag on Democratic candidates this fall — past elections suggest that when approval ratings are as low as Obama’s, the president’s party is almost certain to suffer at the ballot box in November.
Republicans are favored to maintain control of the House, with the focus now on whether they can take control of the Senate. One key question about November is who will vote. Turnout in midterm elections is always lower than in presidential elections, and at this point, key elements of the Republican coalition — namely white voters and older voters — say they are more certain to cast ballots this fall than are younger voters and minorities, two groups that Democrats and Obama relied on in 2008 and 2012.
Democrats are not without assets as the midterm election campaigns intensify. Americans trust Democrats over Republicans by 40 to 34 percent to handle the country’s main problems. By significant margins, Americans see Democrats as better for the middle class and on women’s issues. Americans favor the Democrats’ positions on raising the minimum wage, same-sex marriage and on the broad issue of dealing with global climate change.

Led by Obama, Democrats have sought to use many of these issues to draw contrasts with Republicans, both nationally and in states with the most competitive races. As yet, however, there is little evidence that those assets outweigh either the normal midterm disadvantages of the party that holds the White House or the dissatisfaction with the general direction of the country and Obama’s leadership generally.
The Affordable Care Act is expected to be a major issue in the midterm elections. Obama recently urged Democrats to defend the law energetically, particularly after the administration announced that 8 million people signed up for it during the initial enrollment period. Republicans are confident that opposition to the new law will energize their supporters.
The Post-ABC poll found that 44 percent say they support the law while 48 percent say they oppose it, which is about where it was at the end of last year and in January. Half of all Americans also say they think implementation is worse than expected.
Last month, a Post-ABC poll found 49 percent of Americans saying they supported the new law compared with 48 percent who opposed it. That finding was more positive for the administration than most other polls at the time. Democrats saw it as a possible leading indicator of a shift in public opinion, but that has not materialized.
A 58 percent majority say the new law is causing higher costs overall, and 47 percent say it will make the health-care system worse. While a majority say the quality of the health care they receive will remain the same, a plurality expect it to result in higher personal costs for that care.
A number of Democratic strategists are urging their candidates to campaign on a message that calls for continued implementation of the law, with some fixes. These strategists say that message is more popular than the “repeal and replace” theme of the Republicans. A separate poll Tuesday from the Kaiser Family Foundation finds nearly six in 10 want Congress to improve the law rather than repeal it and replace it with something new.
Democrats are hoping to put Republicans on the defensive on the question of “what next” for the Affordable Care Act. Republicans say they remain confident that the health-care issue will help them more in November.
Pessimism about the economy also persists, with more than seven in 10 describing the economy in negative terms. Public attitudes about the future of the economy are anything but rosy. Just 28 percent say they think the economy is getting better, while 36 percent say it is getting worse and 35 percent say it’s staying the same.
Americans express continued discontent about the country’s direction, with two-thirds saying things are on the wrong track. Asked whether each party’s incumbents deserve relection, at least six in 10 say they do not.
Among registered voters, 45 percent intend to vote for the Democratic candidate in House elections this fall, and 44 percent for the Republican candidate. Based on past elections, that close margin is troubling news for Democrats. Shortly before they lost control of the House in 2010, Democrats held a five-point advantage on this question.
Another measure of voting intentions came when people were asked whether they thought it was more important to have Democrats in charge in Congress to help support Obama’s policies or Republicans in charge to act as a check on the president’s policies. On this, 53 percent of voters say Republicans and 39 percent say Democrats. That is almost identical to the results of the same question when it was asked in September 2010, two months before the GOP landslide.
The decline in Obama’s approval rating in the most recent poll was the result of lower support among both Democrats and independents. At this point, 74 percent of Democrats say they approve of his job performance, one point higher than his lowest ever in Post-ABC surveys. The worry for Obama and his party is that many of the Democrats who disapprove of Obama’s performance simply won’t show up in November.
Although Obama’s overall approval rating is at its lowest point ever in Post-ABC polls, his disapproval is still a few points better than at its worst. That’s because more people than usual say they had no opinion. At this point, Obama’s approval rating looks only slightly better than that of President George W. Bush in the spring of 2006.
Also, the disapproval of Obama’s handling of the situation with Ukraine and Russia is 46 percent, with 20 percent saying they have no opinion on that — perhaps a sign that Americans see few good policy options for the United States in the standoff.
Some Democratic strategists have argued that their candidates have ample arguments to make against Republicans this fall as they seek to hold down expected losses.
The Post-ABC survey sheds light on what they are. Democrats have a significant advantage on eight issues, from health care to climate change to abortion and same-sex marriage. Democrats have a smaller advantage on immigration, and the two parties are roughly equal on the economy. Republicans have the edge on three — guns, the deficit and striking the right balance on which government programs to cut.
Where Democrats have the biggest advantages are on the same contrasts that helped Obama win reelection in 2012 — indicators of which party voters believe is on their side. By 52 to 32 percent, those surveyed say they trust Democrats to do a better job helping the middle class, and by 55 to 25 percent, they trust Democrats on issues that are especially important to women.
How much those attitudes will actually drive voting decisions and voter turnout will be important in determining what happens in November.
The Post-ABC poll was conducted April 24 to 27 among a random national sample of 1,000 adults, including interviews on land lines and with cellphone-only respondents. The overall margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

The Republicans have some vulnerability in other areas, as well. Americans say the Democratic Party comes closer than the GOP to their positions on climate change, by 18 points; whether or not to raise the minimum wage, by 16 points; gay marriage, by 14 points; and the issue of abortion, by 8 points. On one remaining issue, gun control, the Republicans have a slight, 5-point edge.
HEALTH CARE - Obamacare, for its part, is a subject the Republicans have sought to turn to their advantage in the midterm elections, and the poll results show ample opportunity.
Costs are a particular target. As noted, 47 percent of Americans feel that their health care costs are rising as a result of the ACA; 58 percent say the same about the overall costs of health care nationally. Just 8 and 11 percent, respectively, say the law has decreased these costs. If there's a case to be made that costs would have risen anyway - or that they would have risen faster absent the ACA - it's yet to resonate with large segments of the population.
Other assessments also are critical. The public by a 20-point margin, 44-24 percent, is more apt to say the law has made the overall health care system worse rather than better (although the number who say it's made things better is up by 5 points from December). The rest, 29 percent, see no change. Americans by 29-14 percent likewise say the ACA has made their own care worse rather than better, with more, 53 percent, reporting no impact.
Despite the website's improvements, half say the law's implementation is going worse than they expected when it began, vs. 41 percent better - another sign of the persistent antipathy that's dogged Obamacare from the start.
The poll also shows both the striking partisan division on Obamacare and the extent to which, on several questions, independents side more with Republicans on the issue. Thirty-eight percent of Democrats, for instance, say the ACA has increased health care costs nationally; that soars to 67 percent of independents and 73 percent of Republicans. And while 47 percent of Democrats think it's made the health care system better, just 6 and 16 percent of Republicans and independents, respectively, agree.
OBAMA/GROUPS - Divisions among groups remain especially stark in terms of Obama's ratings; further, as noted, he's lost ground in some of his core support groups. The president's approval rating since early March has lost 14 points among liberals, 12 points among people with postgraduate degrees, 10 points among urban residents, 9 points among Democrats and 7 points among those with incomes less than $50,000. He's lost 9 points among independents as well.
With 41 percent approval overall (his previous low was 42 percent last November and the same in October 2011), Obama's at new lows among nonwhites (61-34 percent, approve-disapprove) and liberals (63-31 percent), and matches his lows among moderates (46-48 percent) and independents (33-59 percent). His rating among Democrats, 74-22 percent, is a single point from its low.
Other results also mark the extent of the difficulties facing Obama and his party alike. A form of statistical analysis called regression finds that, as noted above, views on the economy correlate both with congressional vote preference, and views on which party should control Congress, independently of partisan affiliation. That suggests that the Democrats are in serious need of a positive shift in economic views.
That may be hard to accomplish. While 50 percent of Democrats say the economy's in good shape, that plummets not only among Republicans but independents as well, to 12 and 22 percent, respectively. And while 46 percent of Democrats see improvement in the economy, again just 22 percent of independents, and 15 percent of Republicans, agree.
Preferences on which party controls Congress may reflect a general inclination in favor of divided government - and don't always predict outcomes, as in 2002, when more registered voters preferred Democratic control yet the GOP held its ground. It's striking, nonetheless, that this poll finds Republican control favored not only in the 2012 red states, by 56-36 percent, but also by 51-41 percent in the blue states that backed Obama fewer than two years ago.
METHODOLOGY - This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by telephone April 24-27, 2014, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 1,000 adults, including landline and cell-phone-only respondents. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points, including design effect. Partisan divisions are 32-21-38 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents.

Democrats face serious obstacles as they look to the November elections, with President Obama’s approval rating at a new low and a majority of voters saying they prefer a Congress in Republican hands to check the president’s agenda, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Obama’s approval rating fell to 41 percent, down from 46 percent through the first three months of the year and the lowest of his presidency in Post-ABC News polls. Just 42 percent approve of his handling of the economy, 37 percent approve of how he is handling the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and 34 percent approve of his handling of the situation involving Ukraine and Russia.
Obama’s low rating could be a significant drag on Democratic candidates this fall — past elections suggest that when approval ratings are as low as Obama’s, the president’s party is almost certain to suffer at the ballot box in November.
Republicans are favored to maintain control of the House, with the focus now on whether they can take control of the Senate. One key question about November is who will vote. Turnout in midterm elections is always lower than in presidential elections, and at this point, key elements of the Republican coalition — namely white voters and older voters — say they are more certain to cast ballots this fall than are younger voters and minorities, two groups that Democrats and Obama relied on in 2008 and 2012.
Democrats are not without assets as the midterm election campaigns intensify. Americans trust Democrats over Republicans by 40 to 34 percent to handle the country’s main problems. By significant margins, Americans see Democrats as better for the middle class and on women’s issues. Americans favor the Democrats’ positions on raising the minimum wage, same-sex marriage and on the broad issue of dealing with global climate change.

Led by Obama, Democrats have sought to use many of these issues to draw contrasts with Republicans, both nationally and in states with the most competitive races. As yet, however, there is little evidence that those assets outweigh either the normal midterm disadvantages of the party that holds the White House or the dissatisfaction with the general direction of the country and Obama’s leadership generally.
The Affordable Care Act is expected to be a major issue in the midterm elections. Obama recently urged Democrats to defend the law energetically, particularly after the administration announced that 8 million people signed up for it during the initial enrollment period. Republicans are confident that opposition to the new law will energize their supporters.
The Post-ABC poll found that 44 percent say they support the law while 48 percent say they oppose it, which is about where it was at the end of last year and in January. Half of all Americans also say they think implementation is worse than expected.
Last month, a Post-ABC poll found 49 percent of Americans saying they supported the new law compared with 48 percent who opposed it. That finding was more positive for the administration than most other polls at the time. Democrats saw it as a possible leading indicator of a shift in public opinion, but that has not materialized.
A 58 percent majority say the new law is causing higher costs overall, and 47 percent say it will make the health-care system worse. While a majority say the quality of the health care they receive will remain the same, a plurality expect it to result in higher personal costs for that care.
A number of Democratic strategists are urging their candidates to campaign on a message that calls for continued implementation of the law, with some fixes. These strategists say that message is more popular than the “repeal and replace” theme of the Republicans. A separate poll Tuesday from the Kaiser Family Foundation finds nearly six in 10 want Congress to improve the law rather than repeal it and replace it with something new.
Democrats are hoping to put Republicans on the defensive on the question of “what next” for the Affordable Care Act. Republicans say they remain confident that the health-care issue will help them more in November.
Pessimism about the economy also persists, with more than seven in 10 describing the economy in negative terms. Public attitudes about the future of the economy are anything but rosy. Just 28 percent say they think the economy is getting better, while 36 percent say it is getting worse and 35 percent say it’s staying the same.
Americans express continued discontent about the country’s direction, with two-thirds saying things are on the wrong track. Asked whether each party’s incumbents deserve relection, at least six in 10 say they do not.
Among registered voters, 45 percent intend to vote for the Democratic candidate in House elections this fall, and 44 percent for the Republican candidate. Based on past elections, that close margin is troubling news for Democrats. Shortly before they lost control of the House in 2010, Democrats held a five-point advantage on this question.
Another measure of voting intentions came when people were asked whether they thought it was more important to have Democrats in charge in Congress to help support Obama’s policies or Republicans in charge to act as a check on the president’s policies. On this, 53 percent of voters say Republicans and 39 percent say Democrats. That is almost identical to the results of the same question when it was asked in September 2010, two months before the GOP landslide.
The decline in Obama’s approval rating in the most recent poll was the result of lower support among both Democrats and independents. At this point, 74 percent of Democrats say they approve of his job performance, one point higher than his lowest ever in Post-ABC surveys. The worry for Obama and his party is that many of the Democrats who disapprove of Obama’s performance simply won’t show up in November.
Although Obama’s overall approval rating is at its lowest point ever in Post-ABC polls, his disapproval is still a few points better than at its worst. That’s because more people than usual say they had no opinion. At this point, Obama’s approval rating looks only slightly better than that of President George W. Bush in the spring of 2006.
Also, the disapproval of Obama’s handling of the situation with Ukraine and Russia is 46 percent, with 20 percent saying they have no opinion on that — perhaps a sign that Americans see few good policy options for the United States in the standoff.
Some Democratic strategists have argued that their candidates have ample arguments to make against Republicans this fall as they seek to hold down expected losses.
The Post-ABC survey sheds light on what they are. Democrats have a significant advantage on eight issues, from health care to climate change to abortion and same-sex marriage. Democrats have a smaller advantage on immigration, and the two parties are roughly equal on the economy. Republicans have the edge on three — guns, the deficit and striking the right balance on which government programs to cut.
Where Democrats have the biggest advantages are on the same contrasts that helped Obama win reelection in 2012 — indicators of which party voters believe is on their side. By 52 to 32 percent, those surveyed say they trust Democrats to do a better job helping the middle class, and by 55 to 25 percent, they trust Democrats on issues that are especially important to women.
How much those attitudes will actually drive voting decisions and voter turnout will be important in determining what happens in November.
The Post-ABC poll was conducted April 24 to 27 among a random national sample of 1,000 adults, including interviews on land lines and with cellphone-only respondents. The overall margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Q:Found the following article online, use it to answer the question: What was the full name of the location where Richard II began his procession? When Richard II was crowned in 1377, he led a procession from the Tower to Westminster Abbey. This tradition began in at least the early 14th century and lasted until 1660. During the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 the Tower of London was besieged with the King inside. When Richard rode out to meet with Wat Tyler, the rebel leader, a crowd broke into the castle without meeting resistance and looted the Jewel House. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Simon Sudbury, took refuge in St John's Chapel, hoping the mob would respect the sanctuary. However, he was taken away and beheaded on Tower Hill. Six years later there was again civil unrest, and Richard spent Christmas in the security of the Tower rather than Windsor as was more usual. When Henry Bolingbroke returned from exile in 1399, Richard was imprisoned in the White Tower. He abdicated and was replaced on the throne by Bolingbroke, who became King Henry IV. In the 15th century, there was little building work at the Tower of London, yet the castle still remained important as a place of refuge. When supporters of the late Richard II attempted a coup, Henry IV found safety in the Tower of London. During this period, the castle also held many distinguished prisoners. The heir to the Scottish throne, later King James I of Scotland, was kidnapped while journeying to France in 1406 and held in the Tower. The reign of Henry V (1413–1422) renewed England's fortune in the Hundred Years' War against France.

one couple tied their six children to trees so they could not follow them as they fled to find food.
This is all lower case. Can you fix that? | One couple tied their six children to trees so they could not follow them as they fled to find food.
It's concerning to hear about the desperation that led a couple to choose such a drastic action in order to search for food. This situation speaks to broader issues, such as extreme poverty, famine, and the overall lack of resources available to ensure that every family can provide for their basic needs.
In a world where many have access to an abundance of food, it's important to address the factors that cause such disparity and the unfortunate choices that result from those situations. Here are some different aspects to consider:
1. Poverty: This type of incident often stems from extreme poverty, in which families struggle to meet their basic needs, including food, clothing, and shelter. Chronic poverty causes many families to resort to desperate measures in order to survive. Governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) must work together to tackle poverty and help support impoverished families.
2. Famine: Famines can arise due to various factors, such as climate change, conflict, and poor governance, leading to widespread hunger and malnutrition in affected regions. International organizations and local governments need to work together to provide emergency food aid during famines and implement measures to prevent future ones.
3. Lack of access to education: Education plays a critical role in breaking the cycle of poverty. An educated population is better equipped to find ways to meet their basic needs and create better lives for themselves and their families. Ensuring that children in impoverished regions have access to quality education is paramount.
4. Weak social safety nets: In some cases, families may not have access to the necessary social safety nets or support systems that could help mitigate their dire situations. Strengthening these safety nets can provide a lifeline for families in need.
5. War and conflict: Families in war-torn areas are particularly vulnerable to experiencing extreme hardships. Peace-building efforts must be a priority for local and international organizations in order to establish security and stability in these regions, thus facilitating the rebuilding of communities.
6. Climate change: The increasing unpredictability of weather patterns due to climate change can lead to crop failures, water shortages, and additional challenges for families as they search for ways to provide food and other basic necessities. Combating climate change is essential in order to mitigate its impact on the most vulnerable populations.
As we work to address these pressing issues, we must remember the extreme circumstances faced by many families across the world and strive to create a global society where incidents like this become a part of history rather than ongoing reality. | You are an AI assistant.

This is some data: United States, language, English language.
Generate a detailed description of this data | The data provided includes three significant keywords: United States, language, and English language. In this detailed description, each of these terms will be explored, as well as the relationship and significance between them.
United States:
The United States (U.S. or US), also referred to as the United States of America (USA), is a federal republic composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various minor island possessions. The country is located primarily in North America and spans across various time zones, climate regions, and geographical landscapes. Spanning a total area of 3.8 million square miles, the United States is the third or fourth-largest country in the world by total area. It is known for its highly diverse population, strong economy, political influence, and rich cultural contributions. The United States has a complex history, with its origins dating back to the Indigenous peoples who inhabited the land for thousands of years before the arrival of European settlers in the 15th and 16th centuries, and the eventual formation of the country after declaring independence from Britain in 1776.
Language:
Language is a complex and highly-structured system of communication that is utilized by humans to express and comprehend thoughts, ideas, emotions, and experiences. Languages are rooted in symbols, primarily spoken or written, which represent specific meanings and can be efficiently combined and manipulated according to grammatical rules. These symbols, or words, are organized into hierarchical structures that comprise letters, morphemes, words, phrases, clauses, and sentences. In addition to verbal and written languages, non-verbal languages also play a significant role in communication through body language, facial expressions, and gestures. With over 7,000 distinct languages spoken around the world today, language remains central to human culture, identity, and socialization.
English Language:
The English language is a West Germanic language that originated from the Anglo-Saxon dialects spoken by Germanic settlers in what is now England and southern Scotland between the 5th and the 7th centuries AD. Over time, English has evolved and incorporated elements from Old Norse, Norman-French, Latin, and other languages, creating a highly diverse and dynamic linguistic landscape. Today, English is considered the global language—or "lingua franca"—owing to its widespread use in diplomacy, business, academia, and technology. With approximately 375 million native speakers and over 1.5 billion individuals capable of speaking and understanding English as a second language, the English language is the most widely spoken language in the world.
The Relationship Between the United States and the English Language:
The United States is home to the largest population of English speakers in the world. English is the primary language spoken by the majority of its residents, and it is the official language of the federal government. The English language played a crucial role in the development and expansion of the United States, as it was the dominant language spoken by the European settlers who established the colonies. Today, the United States' global influence in politics, economy, and culture contributes significantly to the spread and dominance of the English language worldwide. In turn, the English language has shaped the nation's identity and facilitated its integration with the global community.
In summary, the data provided: United States, language, and English language are interconnected terms that represent a complex relationship between a nation, its primary means of communication, and the historical, cultural, and global influence arising from that communication. The United States, as a country, is characterized by its cultural diversity, which is reflected in the multifaceted nature of the English language and the way it has evolved and spread to become the global lingua franca. | You are an AI assistant.

Question: Who does the government help with schools? Choices: - school children - parents - get money - require to pay taxes - take money The rationale to choose "school children" as the answer is that:
A: | The primary focus of government assistance in schools is to ensure access to quality education, safety, and overall well-being for school children. This is achieved through various policies, programs, and funding mechanisms that directly or indirectly support children's educational journeys.
1. School children: Government help with schools is primarily aimed at benefiting the school children themselves. This includes allocating resources for hiring qualified teachers, developing curriculum, providing educational materials, and maintaining safe school facilities. Moreover, governments invest in special educational programs, extracurricular activities, and nutritional support for students in need.
2. Parents: While school children are the central beneficiaries, government help with schools also indirectly assists parents. Parents gain peace of mind knowing their children are receiving an adequate education in a secure environment. Additionally, parents often benefit from government subsidies or tax breaks that lower the overall expenses of their children's education.
3. Get money: Governments collect and allocate public funds to support education through taxes, grants, and other fiscal measures. Properly managing and distributing these resources helps ensure that schools can continually improve their infrastructure, educational materials, and staff support.
4. Require to pay taxes: While everyone is required to pay taxes, certain taxes are earmarked specifically for education. This shared responsibility ensures all members of a community contribute to the development and sustainment of a high-quality educational system.
5. Take money: The term "take money" might refer to government practices that allocate and manage funds for educational purposes. Governments must ensure that tax dollars are effectively used to provide equal opportunities for all students, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status.
In conclusion, while the main beneficiaries of government help with schools are indeed school children, it is essential to understand that this assistance also reaches out to parents, educational staff, and the community as a whole. Providing quality education to all helps in building a stronger, more informed, and well-rounded society. | You are an AI assistant.

Please answer the following question: The following article contains an answer for the question: Who was defeated at the Battle of Megalopolis? , can you please find it? Alexander perhaps undercut his own rule by demonstrating signs of megalomania. While utilizing effective propaganda such as the cutting of the Gordian Knot, he also attempted to portray himself as a living god and son of Zeus following his visit to the oracle at Siwah in the Libyan Desert (in modern-day Egypt) in 331 BC. His attempt in 327 BC to have his men prostrate before him in Bactra in an act of proskynesis borrowed from the Persian kings was rejected as religious blasphemy by his Macedonian and Greek subjects after his court historian Callisthenes refused to perform this ritual. When Alexander had Parmenion murdered at Ecbatana (near modern Hamadan, Iran) in 330 BC, this was "symptomatic of the growing gulf between the king's interests and those of his country and people", according to Errington. His murder of Cleitus the Black in 328 BC is described as "vengeful and reckless" by Dawn L. Gilley and Ian Worthington. Continuing the polygamous habits of his father, Alexander encouraged his men to marry native women in Asia, leading by example when he wed Roxana, a Sogdian princess of Bactria. He then married Stateira II, eldest daughter of Darius III, and Parysatis II, youngest daughter of Artaxerxes III, at the Susa weddings in 324 BC.Meanwhile, in Greece, the Spartan king Agis III attempted to lead a rebellion of the Greeks against Macedonia. He was defeated in 331 BC at the Battle of Megalopolis by Antipater, who was serving as regent of Macedonia and deputy hegemon of the League of Corinth in Alexander's stead. Before Antipater embarked on his campaign in the Peloponnese, Memnon, the governor of Thrace, was dissuaded from rebellion by use of diplomacy. Antipater deferred the punishment of Sparta to the League of Corinth headed by Alexander, who ultimately pardoned the Spartans on the condition that they submit fifty nobles as hostages. Antipater's hegemony was somewhat unpopular in Greece due to his practice (perhaps by order of Alexander) of exiling malcontents and garrisoning cities with Macedonian...
A: | The Battle of Megalopolis occurred in 331 BC, during the time of Alexander the Great. However, the key figure involved in this battle was not Alexander himself, but his deputy, Antipater. While Alexander was off in Asia, the Spartan King Agis III, attempted to lead a rebellion in Greece against Macedonia. This rebellion was met with fierce opposition in the form of Antipater and his forces.
Our key question here is - "Who was defeated at the Battle of Megalopolis?" From the information provided in the article, we can establish that the person defeated was King Agis III of Sparta. Antipater, who was serving as regent of Macedonia and deputy hegemon of the League of Corinth in Alexander's stead, succeeds in defeating Agis III in the Battle of Megalopolis.
After winning the battle, Antipater didn't immediately engage in punitive measures against Sparta. Instead, he deferred the task of deciding Sparta's punishment to the League of Corinth, which was headed by Alexander. In the end, Alexander opted to pardon the Spartans on the condition that they provide fifty nobles as hostages.
Therefore, we can conclude that the Battle of Megalopolis marked a major defeat for King Agis III of Sparta at the hands of Antipater, who was acting on behalf of Alexander the Great. This demonstrates the strength of Macedonia's forces and the savviness of their political moves, both on the battlefield and in the wider strategic sense. Despite the challenges posed by dissent and rebellion in Greece, Macedonia managed to maintain control, thus ensuring the continuation of Alexander's empire. | You are an AI assistant.

Nu putem avea democrație corespunzătoare fără a avea o opoziție liberă, puternică și vibrantă.
Translate to English | "We cannot have a proper democracy without having a free, strong, and vibrant opposition."
In a democratic system of governance, an effective, robust opposition plays an integral role in maintaining a balanced, transparent and accountable government. The opposition speaks for the interests of all groups in society and voices the concerns of the people. A free, strong, and vibrant opposition can safeguard democracy in various ways:
1. Providing constructive criticism: A healthy opposition constructively criticizes the government's policies, highlighting their shortcomings and suggesting possible improvements. This ensures that the government remains responsive to the needs of the people and adopts better policies.
2. Impeding abuses of power: Democracy involves the separation of powers to prevent any one body from monopolizing authority. A robust opposition serves as a check and balance on the government by holding it accountable for its actions, thereby impeding potential abuses of power.
3. Encouraging debate and dialogue: Opposition parties create a space for diverse opinions and perspectives, fostering open dialogue and debate on various issues. This encourages the government to consider different viewpoints and defend its stance, leading to more informed decision-making processes.
4. Ensuring representation: In a democracy, different sectors of society should be well-represented to ensure that their needs and concerns are addressed. Strong opposition parties offer an alternative to the ruling party and represent the interests of those who may not support the government's policies.
5. Contributing to policy-making: Opposition parties contribute to policy-making by proposing alternative solutions to the issues faced by society. In some instances, they may collaborate with the government to put forward bipartisan legislation that benefits the nation as a whole.
6. Safeguarding democratic values: A free, strong, and vibrant opposition actively promotes and defends democratic institutions, values, and processes. By doing so, they play a crucial role in maintaining a well-functioning democratic system.
In conclusion, the presence of a free, strong, and vibrant opposition is essential for a proper democracy to thrive. It ensures that diverse perspectives are heard, abuses of power are prevented, and policy-making processes are more thorough, better representing the needs and concerns of the entire population. | You are an AI assistant.

In November 1954, Price made her recital debut at New York's Town Hall with a program that featured the New York premiere of Samuel Barber's cycle Hermit Songs, with the composer at the piano, and began her first recital tour in the Community Concerts series for Columbia Artists. Then, the door to opera opened through television, the NBC Opera Theater series. In February 1955, she sang Puccini's Tosca for the NBC Opera Theater, under music director Peter Herman Adler, becoming the first African American to appear in a leading role in televised opera. Several NBC affiliates (not all Southern) canceled the broadcast in protest. She returned in three other NBC Opera broadcasts, as Pamina (1956), Madame Lidoine in Poulenc's Dialogues of the Carmelites (1957), and Donna Anna in Don Giovanni (1960). In March 1955, she was auditioned at Carnegie Hall by the Austrian conductor Herbert von Karajan, who was then touring with the Berlin Philharmonic. Impressed with her singing of "Pace, pace, mio Dio" from Verdi's La forza del destino, Karajan reportedly leapt to the stage to accompany her himself. Calling her "an artist of the future" he asked her management for control of her future European career. Over the next three seasons, Price crossed the U.S. in recitals with her longtime accompanist, David Garvey, and in orchestral appearances. She also toured India (1956) and Australia (1957), under the auspices of the U.S. State Department. She sang a concert version of Aida--her first public performance of the role--at the May Festival in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on May 3, 1957. Her first appearance on the grand opera stage occurred in San Francisco on September 20, 1957, singing Madame Lidoine in the U.S. premiere of the Dialogues of the Carmelites. A few weeks later, Price sang her first on-stage Aida, stepping in for Italian soprano Antonietta Stella, who was suffering from appendicitis. The following May, she made her European debut, as Aida, at the Vienna Staatsoper on May 24, 1958, at Karajan's invitation and under his baton. Debuts followed at London's Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (replacing Anita Cerquetti), and at the Arena di Verona, both as Aida. The next season she returned to Vienna to sing Aida and her first onstage Pamina in The Magic Flute, repeated her Aida at Covent Garden, sang operatic scenes by R. Strauss on BBC Radio, and made her debut at the Salzburg Festival in Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, under Karajan. The close artistic understanding between Karajan and Price was reflected in many of her early career successes in the opera house (Mozart's Don Giovanni, Verdi's Il trovatore and Puccini's Tosca), in the concert hall (Bach's Mass in B minor, Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, Bruckner's Te Deum, and the Requiems of Verdi and Mozart), and in the recording studio (complete recordings of Tosca and Carmen, and a bestselling holiday music album, A Christmas Offering). Most of her recordings and many of her live performances have been released on CD. On May 21, 1960, Price made her first appearance at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, again as Aida, becoming the first African American to sing a leading role in Italy's greatest opera house. (In 1958, Mattiwilda Dobbs had sung Elvira, the secondary lead soprano role in Rossini's L'italiana in Algeri.)

In November 1954, Price made her recital debut at New York's Town Hall with a program that featured the New York premiere of Samuel Barber's cycle Hermit Songs, with the composer at the piano, and began her first recital tour in the Community Concerts series for Columbia Artists. Then, the door to opera opened through television, the NBC Opera Theater series. In February 1955, she sang Puccini's Tosca for the NBC Opera Theater, under music director Peter Herman Adler, becoming the first African American to appear in a leading role in televised opera. Several NBC affiliates (not all Southern) canceled the broadcast in protest. She returned in three other NBC Opera broadcasts, as Pamina (1956), Madame Lidoine in Poulenc's Dialogues of the Carmelites (1957), and Donna Anna in Don Giovanni (1960). In March 1955, she was auditioned at Carnegie Hall by the Austrian conductor Herbert von Karajan, who was then touring with the Berlin Philharmonic. Impressed with her singing of "Pace, pace, mio Dio" from Verdi's La forza del destino, Karajan reportedly leapt to the stage to accompany her himself. Calling her "an artist of the future" he asked her management for control of her future European career. Over the next three seasons, Price crossed the U.S. in recitals with her longtime accompanist, David Garvey, and in orchestral appearances. She also toured India (1956) and Australia (1957), under the auspices of the U.S. State Department. She sang a concert version of Aida--her first public performance of the role--at the May Festival in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on May 3, 1957.

By. Ian Ladyman. Follow @@Ian_Ladyman_DM. Are Manchester United right to sack David Moyes. David Moyes will be sacked by Manchester United after the owners, the Glazer family, finally lost patience with the club’s dismal season. United are confident of landing Holland coach Louis van Gaal as his replacement once they have tied up details of their manager’s severance. The Barclays Premier League champions have already made contact with the Dutchman and he wants to join United after the World Cup. The Old Trafford board planned to sack. Moyes — just a year into a six-year contract — at the end of the season. but will now bring forward that announcement after news of their. intentions was reported by MailOnline on Monday afternoon. End of the line: David Moyes will be sacked by Manchester United and could leave before the end of the season. Under pressure: United crashed to a 2-0 defeat at Moyes's former club Everton on Sunday, their 11th defeat of the Premier League season. Searching for inspiration: Moyes has found it impossible to maintain the high standards set by predecessor Sir Alex Ferguson. Bright beginnings: Moyes started work at Old Trafford on July 1 last summer, having been announced as Ferguson's replacement in May. Played 51Won 27Drawn 9Lost 15Win percentage 52.94. Moyes, on a day off on Monday, had still not been contacted by the club on Monday night and is understood to be hurt and angry after learning of his fate on newspaper websites. He will attend trainingat Carrington today but may well not survive the week. Player-coach Ryan Giggs is lined up to replace him until the end of the season, alongside fellow Treble winner Nicky Butt, as United try to salvage some pride by finishing in the Europa League places at least. Sir Alex Ferguson, who appointed Moyes, is expected to have little or no say in who the next manager will be. News of the 50-year-old’s imminent departure broke on Monday in the wake of Sunday’s defeat at his old club Everton. However, it is understood the club decided to look for alternatives after the 2-0 reverse in the Champions League at Olympiacos in February. Meet the new boss: Moyes gets to work on his first morning as United manager at the club's Carrington training complex. Backing: Supporters on the Stretford End commissioned a banner proclaiming Moyes as the 'Chosen One' Good start: Moyes lifts the Community Shield after United beat Wigan 2-0 at Wembley back in August. It will be his only piece of silverware with the club. Winning start: United won 4-1 at Swansea City on the opening day of the season, getting their title defence off to the perfect start. Warm reception: Moyes is introduced to the Old Trafford crowd prior to his first home game against Chelsea. April 26 Norwich City (H)May 3 Sunderland (H)May 6 Hull City (H)May 11 Southampton (A) The Glazers, who are due in Manchester next week, had been supportive of Moyes but have sensed since the turn of the year that results and performances were getting worse and that some of United’s senior stars had simply stopped playing for their manager. They want to appoint a new manager — preferably Van Gaal — as soon as possible so they can tie up deals for players including. Southampton’s Luke Shaw before the World Cup. United know that it will be hard enough to attract players this summer without Champions League football and didn’t want to continue the negotiating process with a manager who had become a lame duck. Certainly not many United players will be disappointed to hear the news. Even those who like Moyes realised that things were not working, an impression that hardened when the Scot walked into the dressing room at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon and told his team they had played well. Taste of defeat: Moyes suffered his first league loss at Anfield as a Daniel Sturridge gave Liverpool a 1-0 win on September 1. Down to work: Moyes leads a training session at Carrington ahead of his first Champions League match with United back in September. Euro stars: United beat Bayer Leverkusen 4-2 at Old Trafford in their opening Champions League fixture of the season. Nightmare: The scale of Moyes's task at Old Trafford became apparent in the 4-1 defeat at rivals Manchester City on September 24. Bad to worse: Moyes can't believe his misfortune as United are beaten at home by West Bromwich on September 28. If talks with Van Gaal don’t work out as expected, United will consider alternative targets such as Dortmund’s Jurgen Klopp and Real Madrid’s Carlo Ancelotti. At 62, Van Gaal is a relatively old manager, but after the experiment with Moyes, United are aware they need a coach with the presence and the experience to cope with a club of their size and profile. United old boy Phil Neville may survive the backroom cull, as may goalkeeping coach Chris Woods after his exceptional work with David de Gea this season. Masterstroke: Moyes did persuade star striker Wayne Rooney to turn down the overtures of Chelsea and sign a new contract. Revenge: United knocked Liverpool out of the Capital One Cup at the third round stage, offering swift retribution for the Anfield loss. Passion play: Moyes celebrates Javier Hernandez's goal as United beat Stoke City 3-2 at Old Trafford. Low point: Moyes sits and considers his options as United lose 1-0 to his former club Everton on December 4. Row: Moyes grabs the ball from Hatem Ben Arfa as Alan Pardew looks on during December's 1-0 home loss to Newcastle United. Race is on: Moyes runs along the touchline to retrieve the ball during United's New Year's Day loss to Tottenham. Protest: Moyes runs on to the pitch to appeal after a blatant handball is not given in the Tottenham match. No luck: Moyes rues a missed chance as United slipped to a 2-1 defeat to Sunderland in the first leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final. Out: With coach Phil Neville after United were knocked out of the Capital One Cup on penalties by Sunderland. January sales: Moyes bought Juan Mata from Chelsea for £37m in a bid to revive the flagging season. Nadir: United produced their most miserable performance of the season as they were beaten 2-0 by Olympiacos in the first leg of their last 16 Champions League tie. The great turnaround: But a Robin van Persie hat-trick gave United a 3-0 win at Old Trafford and took them through to a last eight encounter with Bayern Munich. Anger: A fan remonstrates with Moyes during the 3-0 home defeat by Manchester City. Guarded: Stewards protect the 'Chosen one' banner on the Stretford End at the end of the City defeat. Stunt: Disgruntled United fans paid for this plane to fly over the ground during a home match with Aston Villa. The plane's appearance was roundly booed by United fans in the ground. Good display: United produced their best performance of the season in the 1-1 home draw with Bayern Munich. Beyond them: But Bayern came from behind in the second leg in Munich to win 3-1 and knock United out of the Champions League. Waving goodbye: The final straw was United's 2-0 loss at Goodison Park on Sunday.

Answer the following question: It's often difficult to remember how or why you became friends with someone, especially if you've been friends with a person forever. But because of the very specific set of circumstances, I remember exactly how Barend and I became friends. This, of course, was long before he became famous for inventing the easy-foldable map, and infamous for the series of bodies he'd decided to bury in his backyard. Barend and I became friends because he had one of the most attractive shadows I'd ever seen. I remember gazing out over the playground, watching a waning sun scatter its dying light over the monkey bars, the metal skeleton contrasting against the turquoise sky, when I noticed this kid coming toward me. He was one of those mostly invisible characters; faded jeans, dirty jacket, snot caked on his upper lip. I probably wouldn't have noticed him if not for his shadow. For some reason, his shadow immediately caught my eye. Now, I'm not one for noticing shadows in general, never really noticed a shadow before or since, but this kid had the most incredible shadow I'd ever seen. I cannot even put in words what that means. What specific set of properties make an ordinary shadow into an incredible one, I'm not sure anyone can, but his shadow was like a piece of art; I didn't necessarily understand it, but I liked it. And that's why this boring looking kid and I first became friends. Our kindergarten games were harmless and boring, but when puberty hit, Barend began to change. We were both expected to change, but I guess some kids just change more than others. Bared didn't want to kill at first. Like many overachievers in the death game, his first brush with the craft came about more or less accidentally. All the elements had been in place, with all the players and attributes coming together as if gathered by some evil force, but, even then, I really had to push the kid. Question: What is probably true about the author? Options: - the author did nothign wrong - the author is innocent - the author is evil - not enough information === The correct answer is
Answer: | The correct answer is: not enough information
While we know that the author became friends with Barend due to his unique shadow and witnessed Barend's transformation over time, we do not have enough information to determine if the author is innocent, did nothing wrong, or is evil.

What is the missing first step of the following process: - The caterpillar eats constantly until it grows bigger - The caterpillar starts to form a cocoon around itself - The caterpillar becomes a pupa - After some time the cocoon hatches - And a butterfly is born.
The answer to this question is: | The missing first step of the process is the egg stage. The detailed and long answer is as follows:
1. Egg stage: The life cycle of a butterfly begins with the female butterfly laying eggs on a suitable host plant, usually the one that provides an ideal food source for the soon-to-be-hatched caterpillars. The eggs are small, often shaped like tiny spheres or ovals, and are laid either singularly or in clusters, depending on the species. The eggs are equipped with a protective outer layer called the chorion, which keeps them safe from environmental fluctuations and predators. Additionally, a layer of fluid is present between the egg and the chorion for further nourishment.
2. The caterpillar/larval stage (mentioned in the question): Once the eggs hatch, the caterpillars emerge with a voracious appetite. In this stage, their main purpose is to consume food, specifically the leaves of the designated host plant, allowing them to grow rapidly. As they grow, the caterpillars molt or shed their outer layer of skin multiple times to accommodate their increasing size.
3. Cocoon formation/chrysalis stage (mentioned in the question): After reaching an optimal size, the caterpillar finds a safe location to begin spinning a cocoon, also known as a chrysalis or pupa, around itself. The cocoon is constructed from silk, which is secreted by the caterpillar's spinneret glands. The cocoon serves as a protective covering while the caterpillar undergoes a remarkable transformation called metamorphosis.
4. Pupa stage (mentioned in the question): Inside the cocoon, the caterpillar's body breaks down and rearranges itself into the adult butterfly form. This stage can last anywhere from a few days to several months, depending on the species and environmental conditions. During this time, the caterpillar undergoes significant changes, including the development of wings, compound eyes, and a more slender body.
5. Adult butterfly/emergence (mentioned in the question): After the metamorphosis is complete, the adult butterfly emerges from the cocoon. In this stage, the butterfly is fully formed, displaying intricate patterns and vibrant colors on its wings. Shortly after emerging, the butterfly's wings will be soft and must be expanded by pumping a fluid called hemolymph through the wing veins, after which they will harden, allowing the butterfly to fly.
6. Reproduction: As adult butterflies, their primary purpose is now to find a mate and reproduce, ensuring the continuation of their species. The entire life cycle begins anew as the female lays her eggs on a suitable host plant. | You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task.

The 12 best memes of 2015: Runaway llamas, The Dress, Adele …
A police officer. A cheeky dude (Brandon Moore) yelling “what are thooose?” at the officer’s functional, ugly footwear. Millions of loops and views and copycats later, a meme is born. The first urban dictionary entry for the phrase and practice appeared in 2011, but it was 2015 when the sport of pointing at some awful shoes (preferably Crocs) and shouting “what are those?!!” entered the mainstream. The best example is the wonderful take on the Jurassic Park theme tune (see below, 50 million Vine loops so far), which I like because it’s less mean-spirited than real life examples. In fact, the man who started the whole thing back in the summer seems kind of rude – and is now in jail. Um.
It stormed collective internet consciousness in early September. Norwegian Kevin Synnes decided to embarrass his girlfriend in a store by pushing down on a bunch of toy ducks which, when pressed, emitted a loud “aaarghh!” noise. The video was then appropriated by Vine star Charlie Murphy and subsequently looped millions of times, spawning multiple variants. There has even been a mash-up with the what are those? meme. My person favourite versions are those which pay tribute to Adele and Taylor Swift.

It took just a 30-second snippet of Adele’s new single, Hello, debuted during the advert break of the UK television show, The X Factor, to have the singer trending worldwide on Twitter. And while the haunting piano and hushed, smoky tones beloved of millions of fans induced much excitement among those desperate to hear the full song, the clip also inspired plenty of memes.
“Hello, it’s me” is a pretty meme-able phrase, and the internet did not disappoint. When the sepia-tinged video dropped, featuring the singer in an amazing coat, using a flip-phone and hanging out in an abandoned house, the memes just multiplied. Especially re: the flip-phone. One woman even texted her ex the entire lyrics to Hello, without him catching on at all.

A lot of people characterised this as Nicki Minaj “throwing shade” at Miley Cyrus, which is a fundamental misunderstanding of the concept of shade. Minaj didn’t “throw shade” – she directly called Cyrus out, in front of a TV audience of millions. If anything, that is the direct opposite of throwing shade.
The incident happened at the MTV Music Video Awards in response to an interview Cyrus gave in which she called Minaj “not very polite”. While accepting an award Minaj called Cyrus “this bitch who had a lot to say about me in the press the other day”, before ending with the perfectly passive aggressive, “Miley, what’s good?” Cue memes. Lots and lots of memes.

Nick Young is a basketball player who shoots for the LA Lakers. His internet fame, however, is courtesy of a confused reaction face meme. At one point during a day-in-life-of documentary, Thru The Lens, posted on YouTube, Young pulls a “huh?” face when his mother calls him a clown. His quizzical expression towards the camera has spawned probably the best reaction macro of 2015 and can be used for disbelief, surprise or a thousand other reactions.
The 21-year-old college student Nicholas Fraser became an internet sensation when he decided to perform, in his yard, perched on a toilet, as one does, a quick cover of Next’s Too Close, but with the lyrics changed to “why the fuck you lyin’? / why you always lyin’?”) Given that people lie all of the time, and we know about it, guys, and we all want people to know that we know, Fraser’s vine caught on and inspired multiple cover versions of his cover version. Now, when your mate texts to say she is five minutes away but you know she probably hasn’t left the house yet, there’s a perfect means of responding. Thanks Nicholas.

After the Fifty Shades of Grey series of books sold so poorly , it was a punt for Universal Pictures to have taken on a film adaptation. But – oh, brave souls – it was brought to the screen in summer 2015 with Sam Taylor-Johnson at the helm and Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson starring. Given that the book had already resulted in a lot of cultural cache, it was inevitable that the film would inspire memes and jokes. The internet delivered. In particular, the “my tastes are very … singular” line (altered to “my desires are unconventional” for the internet) proved a rich seam.
One of the best tracks of 2015, the video for Drake’s Hotline Bling didn’t drop until October – three months after the song’s release. But it was worth the wait. A minimalist clip, Drake shows off his unusual dance moves against different coloured backdrops inspired by artist James Turell. The rapper’s moves and pained impression inspired multiple parodies shared on YouTube, Vine and Twitter.
Included below are some of the best: a dancing and adorable shiba inu (aka Doge), the Man From Another Place from Twin Peaks and perhaps best of all, some tennis backhand action.

The most viral of viral phenomenons. A young woman took a picture of a dress in a clothes store and uploaded it to Tumblr. Why is this interesting? Because the internet was genuinely divided as to whether the dress was blue and black, or white and gold.
The original Tumblr post posing the question racked up an enormous 73m page views, and a BuzzFeed piece on the dress has more than 38m page views to date. #TheDress trended for days on social media. Scientists were hauled in to explain how people could be seeing different colours. Rods and cones were mentioned. British current affairs programme Newsnight even offered its own vote. The Guardian waded in, with the definitive take.

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard as when I discovered the Poot Lovato meme. A Tumblr post featuring an awkward fan photograph of singer Demi Lovato posited the theory that the snap was not of Demi herself, but her secret twin sister, Poot Lovato, who had been trapped in a basement her entire life. The fable took hold and soon the internet was ablaze with hilarious and creative Poot memes. Fan-fiction was written, fan art drawn, Instagram and Twitter accounts were established and even Demi herself addressed the joke (she wasn’t amused). Then, rather, brilliantly, a sleuth dug out a paparazzi photograph of Demi-as-Poot right at the moment the fan pic was taken. It’s still funny.

On THE SAME DAY AS THE DRESS, the internet exploded with one of the great police chases of our time – two llamas on the run. The llamas, one black and one white, ran loose in Sun City, Arizona. The whole internet followed, glued to the ABC15 live stream of the runaway beasts and tracking updates on Twitter. The llamas, true heroes of freedom and an inspiration to all, had escaped from their day job in an animal therapy centre. The black llama was caught first, its emancipation ended with a cruel lassoing. The white llama ran on, but eventually, it too was caught. Still, these two were the internet’s favourite llamas since Serge, the French llama who travelled by subway.
NOOOO. BLACK LLAMA CAUGHT. 😔😔😔 STAY STRONG WHITE LLAMA.

My personal winner for meme of 2015 is the dead raccoon, an unfortunate soul, found deceased on a Toronto street. After a man tweeted the relevant city authorities to tell them about the raccoon, the poor critter was left for hours in the same spot. Over the next 12 hours, a vigil was set up for the raccoon, documented online. A note was left, a framed photograph, notes were written. Someone gave the raccoon an unlit joint as a mark of respect. It got dark. Candles were lit. The raccoon was named Conrad. Eventually, the authorities turned up and unceremoniously dumped Conrad in a rubbish truck. Such a lack of respect.

The 12 best memes of 2015: Runaway llamas, The Dress, Adele …
A police officer. A cheeky dude (Brandon Moore) yelling “what are thooose?” at the officer’s functional, ugly footwear. Millions of loops and views and copycats later, a meme is born. The first urban dictionary entry for the phrase and practice appeared in 2011, but it was 2015 when the sport of pointing at some awful shoes (preferably Crocs) and shouting “what are those?!!” entered the mainstream. The best example is the wonderful take on the Jurassic Park theme tune (see below, 50 million Vine loops so far), which I like because it’s less mean-spirited than real life examples. In fact, the man who started the whole thing back in the summer seems kind of rude – and is now in jail. Um.
It stormed collective internet consciousness in early September. Norwegian Kevin Synnes decided to embarrass his girlfriend in a store by pushing down on a bunch of toy ducks which, when pressed, emitted a loud “aaarghh!” noise. The video was then appropriated by Vine star Charlie Murphy and subsequently looped millions of times, spawning multiple variants. There has even been a mash-up with the what are those? meme. My person favourite versions are those which pay tribute to Adele and Taylor Swift.
However, a Guardian investigation revealed that that the toy was not a duck, but a pelican. Listen to our interview with Kevin here.

The French have always wanted to know what it means to be a Frenchman. Their history has been a constant quest for national identity: a conflict between strong regional loyalties and central authority. In about 2000 b.c. Celtic tribes — probably from eastern Europe — came looking for greener pastures in the areas that are now Franche-Comté, Alsace, and Burgundy. At the same time, migrants from the Mediterranean countries were trickling into the south. The first recorded settlement was the trading post set up by Phocaean Greeks from Asia Minor at Massalia (Marseilles) around 600 b.c. , followed by other ports at Hyères, Antibes, and Nice. But the Greeks developed few contacts with the interior beyond a little commerce in olives and wine with the Celts of Burgundy. When their position was threatened by Ligurian pirates at sea and warlike tribes from inland, the merchants of Marseilles called on Rome for help. From Gaul to France In 125 b.c. , the Romans came in force, conquered the "Gallic barbarians," and set up a fortress at Aquae Sextiae (Aix-en-Provence). They took advantage of this new stronghold to create Provincia (now Provence), stretching from the Alps to the Pyrénées, in order to guarantee communications between Italy and Spain. When this province was endangered by fresh attacks from the north, Julius Caesar himself took charge, conquering practically the whole of Gaul by 50 b.c. Caesar drew Gaul's northeastern frontier at the Rhine, taking in present-day Belgium, and warned that the Germanic tribes across the river — the Franks (after whom France is named), Alamans, and Saxons — would always threaten the security of the frontier. The Romanization of Gaul sent the most energetic warriors to defend the outposts of the empire while their families settled down to work the land or build towns such as Lyon, Orange, Arles, and Nîmes, and the first great highways between them. At the same time, merchants built up a thriving trade with the rest of the Roman Empire. The pattern for the peasantry and bourgeoisie of France was thus established. Christianity was introduced into Gaul in the first century a.d.

I heard that Austin threw the candy to the parade watchers on the side of the street. And I was wondering What does Austin need to do before this?
Answer: | Before Austin throws candies to the parade watchers on the side of the street, there are several steps and preparations he must go through to ensure a safe, enjoyable, and organized experience. Here is a detailed breakdown of what Austin needs to do:
1. Planning and coordinating with parade organizers:
Austin needs to be part of a parade group or organization and follow the guidelines set by the parade organizers. This may include obtaining a permit, paying necessary fees, submitting an entry form, attending informational meetings, and understanding the parade's theme and expectations.
2. Adhering to safety regulations:
Safety should be Austin's top priority. He must familiarize himself with any rules and regulations specific to distributing candy during parades. These could include adhering to speed limits while on a float or vehicle, using gloves or tongs for hygiene, and ensuring candies are encased in waterproof packaging.
3. Choosing appropriate candies:
Austin should choose candies that are popular, individually wrapped, and safe for all ages so that everyone can enjoy them. He should avoid items that pose choking hazards for young children, anything too hard that may cause dental injuries if thrown, and candies with common allergens like peanuts. Soft and small candies like lollipops, gummy bears, or chocolate kisses are usually excellent choices.
4. Buying and storing candy:
Austin should purchase enough candies to last throughout the parade and accommodate for the anticipated crowd size. If possible, bulk purchases from a wholesale store or a special sale could help save money. Once acquired, he should keep the candies in a cool, dry, and dark location to ensure their quality is maintained before the day of the parade.
5. Preparing a method of distribution:
Austin needs to devise a safe and efficient method for distributing candy to parade watchers. He may want to consider using a candy launcher or device to toss candy, wear gloves when handling unwrapped candies, or have a group of fellow volunteers to help distribute the treats throughout the parade.
6. Dressing up and float decorations:
If Austin is part of a float or parade group, coordinating costumes or decorating the float according to the parade's theme and guidelines will make the experience more enjoyable and visually appealing for spectators.
7. Arriving early and preparing logistics:
On the day of the parade, Austin should arrive early to secure his spot, load candies onto his float or vehicle, and prepare the distribution equipment and process. He should also be aware of parade safety rules, restroom locations, and meeting points for others in his group.
8. Practicing responsible candy distribution:
Once the parade commences, Austin needs to maintain a steady and reasonable candy distribution pace, focusing on not overloading certain areas or leaving others with nothing. He should also be mindful of potential hazards, such as throwing candy with too much force or targeting spectators who may not be receptive to the treat.
By following these steps, Austin can ensure he is well-prepared to safely and efficiently distribute candy to parade watchers, contributing to a memorable event for everyone involved. | You are an AI assistant.

Given the task definition and input, reply with output. Read the given text and if it has abusive content then indicate via "yes". Otherwise indicate via"no".
We consider the content to be abusive if it contains any of the following instances: (1) Identity Directed Abuse (e.g., Content which contains a negative statement made against an identity. An identity is a social category that relates to a fundamental aspect of individuals community, socio-demographics, position or self-representation) (2) Affiliation Directed Abuse (e.g., Content which express negativity against an affiliation. We define affiliation as a (more or less) voluntary association with a collective. Affiliations include but are not limited to: memberships (e.g. Trade unions), party memberships (e.g. Republicans), political affiliations (e.g. Right-wing people) and occupations (e.g. Doctors).) (3) Person Directed Abuse (e.g., Content which directs negativity against an identifiable person, who is either part of the conversation thread or is named. Person-directed abuse includes serious character based attacks, such as accusing the person of lying, as well as aggression, insults and menacing language.) and (4) Counter Speech (e.g., Content which challenges, condemns or calls out the abusive language of others.). Note that URLs in the text have been replaced with [Link].
Food fights are violence too, OK. | Part #1: Identity Directed Abuse
Usage: An example of this could be "All millenials are lazy." The statement is negative and targets an identity (millenials), which is a demographic group. It therefore meets the criteria for identity directed abuse.
Part #2: Affiliation Directed Abuse
Usage: "All Republicans are selfish." This statement is negative and targets an affiliation (Republicans). Republicans are a political party which is counted as a voluntary association. It therefore fits the criterion of affiliation directed abuse.
Part #3: Person Directed Abuse
Usage: "Mike is a chronic liar." This statement is negative, attacks the character of an identifiable person (Mike), and accuses him of lying. Therefore, it falls into the category of person directed abuse.
Part #4: Counter Speech
Usage: "Your racist comments are not welcome here." This statement challenges or calls out abusive language (racist comments), therefore fitting into the category of counter speech.
In the task, the command is to evaluate a given text (such as "Food fights are violence too, OK.") based on these definitions. If any of the 4 types of abusive content are identified in the sample input, the output would be "yes."

Usage: An example of this could be "All millenials are lazy." The statement is negative and targets an identity (millenials), which is a demographic group. It therefore meets the criteria for identity directed abuse.
Part #2: Affiliation Directed Abuse
Usage: "All Republicans are selfish." This statement is negative and targets an affiliation (Republicans). Republicans are a political party which is counted as a voluntary association. It therefore fits the criterion of affiliation directed abuse.
Part #3: Person Directed Abuse
Usage: "Mike is a chronic liar." This statement is negative, attacks the character of an identifiable person (Mike), and accuses him of lying. Therefore, it falls into the category of person directed abuse.
Part #4: Counter Speech
Usage: "Your racist comments are not welcome here." This statement challenges or calls out abusive language (racist comments), therefore fitting into the category of counter speech.
In the task, the command is to evaluate a given text (such as "Food fights are violence too, OK.") based on these definitions. If any of the 4 types of abusive content are identified in the sample input, the output would be "yes." If none are identified, the output would be "no". </s><s>[INST] | 3,108 |
– In the wake of the Newtown school shooting, there's one topic on every opinion writer's keyboard: guns. Is America finally ready to have a conversation about gun control? Here's what people are saying: Joe Scarborough gave an impassioned speech on Morning Joe this morning. "From this day forward, nothing can ever be the same again," he declared. Scarborough earned the NRA's top rating while in Congress, but he said that on Friday he realized "that the ideologies of my past career were no longer relevant ... It is time for Congress to put children before deadly dogma." It's absolutely OK to politicize this situation, writes Michael Grunwald at Time. "The kind of people who believe politics is inappropriate at times like this tend to be the kind of people who believe politics is trivial entertainment." Policies have consequences, and "now is the time to debate them, not to STFU." "We should mourn, but we should be angry," writes EJ Dionne in the Washington Post, calling for bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, background checks, and other reforms. "If Congress does not act this time, we can deem it as totally bought and paid for by the representatives of gun manufacturers." But David Frum thinks President Obama is the wrong man to lead the charge. "If the president—any president—inserts himself into the gun debate, he will inevitably polarize it," he reasons at CNN. An outside group modeled on Mothers Against Drunk Driving would be more effective. "Only that way can the campaign avoid being held hostage" by partisanship. Not everyone agrees that it's time to act. "The chances of being killed in a mass shooting are about what they are for being struck by lightning," points out John Fund at the National Review, arguing that gun control will be ineffective and even counterproductive. Shootings most often occur in so-called "gun-free zones" like schools, or, as one ex-sheriff calls them "helpless-victim zones."
Expand this summary. | In the aftermath of the tragic Newtown school shooting, the topic of gun control has surged to the forefront of discussions in the United States. People from various walks of life are expressing their views on whether America is ready to have an earnest conversation about gun control.
Joe Scarborough, who earned the NRA's top rating while in Congress, stated on Morning Joe that the ideologies of his past career were no longer relevant. He passionately declared that it was time for Congress to prioritize children's safety over dangerous dogmatic principles. Many believe that it is entirely appropriate to politicize this situation since politics should not be treated solely as trivial entertainment but should have serious real-world consequences.
Michael Grunwald at Time opines that now is the time to debate the potentially life-saving policies, instead of remaining silent on the issue. EJ Dionne, writing in the Washington Post, voices a similar sentiment, stating that mourning should be accompanied by anger. He advocates for banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implementing background checks, and introducing other necessary reforms. Dionne warns that if Congress fails to act on these measures, it will be viewed as being bought and paid for by gun manufacturers.
However, David Frum at CNN argues that President Obama might not be the ideal leader to spearhead this debate, as his involvement could polarize the issue further. Frum suggests that an external group, akin to Mothers Against Drunk Driving, would be more effective in leading the charge for change in a non-partisan manner.
Contrarily, some individuals, such as John Fund at the National Review, claim that it is not the right time to act on gun control.

Q: Q: Which reaction between alkyl halides and ammonia makes alkylamines? A:
Possible answers:
*nitrogen catabolism;
*conductive substitution reactions;
*nucleophobic reactions;
*nucleophilic substitution reactions;
The answer is: | nucleophilic substitution reactions.
The reaction between alkyl halides and ammonia to form alkylamines is known as nucleophilic substitution reactions. Alkyl halides (R-X) are organic compounds containing a halogen atom (X) bonded to an sp3 hybridized carbon atom. Ammonia (NH3) is a nucleophile, a species capable of donating a non-bonding pair of electrons to an electrophile in a chemical reaction.
In a nucleophilic substitution reaction, a nucleophile (ammonia in this case) reacts with an electrophile (the alkyl halide) and replaces the halogen atom in the organic compound. The overall reaction is characterized by the breaking of the carbon-halogen bond and the formation of a new carbon-nitrogen bond, resulting in the formation of an alkylamine.
The general reaction can be represented as:
R-X + NH3 → R-NH2 + HX
where R represents an alkyl group, X is a halogen atom (such as chlorine, bromine, or iodine), and HX is the hydrogen halide formed during the reaction.
Nucleophilic substitution reactions can be categorized into two main types: SN1 and SN2 mechanisms. The choice of the mechanism depends on factors such as the structure of the alkyl halide, the nucleophilicity of the nucleophile, and the reaction conditions.
SN1 mechanism (substitution nucleophilic unimolecular) involves a two-step process. First, the carbon-halogen bond breaks, resulting in the formation of a carbocation intermediate and a halide ion. Next, the nucleophilic ammonia molecule reacts with the carbocation, producing the alkylamine. This type of mechanism is favored for substrates that can form stable carbocations, such as tertiary alkyl halides.
SN2 mechanism (substitution nucleophilic bimolecular) is a single concerted step where the nucleophile attacks the carbon atom while the carbon-halogen bond is being broken. This results in the direct formation of the alkylamine. The reaction proceeds through a transition state where both the nucleophile and the leaving group are partially attached to the carbon atom. SN2 mechanism is favored for primary alkyl halides and strong nucleophiles, such as ammonia.
In summary, the formation of alkylamines from alkyl halides and ammonia occurs through nucleophilic substitution reactions, which can be SN1 or SN2 mechanisms depending on the structure of the alkyl halide and other reaction conditions. These reactions are essential in the synthesis of various amine-based functional groups and compounds, which have a wide range of applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science. | You are an AI assistant.

Question: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: Americans have used colors to create many expressions they use every day. We say you're 'in the pink' when we are in good health. It is easy to understand how this expression was born. When my face has a nice fresh, pink color, it is a sign my health is good. The color green is natural for trees, it is an unnatural color for humans. When someone doesn't feel well, someone who is sick, for example, we say he 'looks green'. When someone is angry because he doesn't have what someone else has, we say he is 'green with envy'. Some people are 'green with envy' because someone else has more dollars, or 'green backs'. Dollars are called 'greenbacks' because that's the color of the backside of the money. Blue is a cool color. The traditional blue music of American blacks is the opposite of red hot music. It is slow, sad and soulful ( ). To be blue, of course, is to be sad. The color black is often used in expressions. People describe a day in which everything grows wrong as a 'black day'.

How to collect a sterile urine sample
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
Cleanse the urethra, the duct in which urine is expelled from the body, with a disinfecting towellete.
Separate the folds of the female genitalia.
Options: +Gently clean the vania, the small part that connects the anus and. Gently separate the labia to expose the gland beneath. +The region of the genital portion is located between the anus and the top part of the vagina. To remove the folds, you may use a muslin or silk cloth. +Cleanse using the disinfecting towellette with downward strokes.

The correct answer is to cleanse using the disinfecting towellette with downward strokes and open the sterile canister in which urine will be stored. This is because it explains the proper way to clean the area to prepare it for a sterile urine sample collection and mentions opening the sterile canister for storing the urine.
The other options are wrong for the following reasons:
-Gently clean the vania, the small part that connects the anus and. Gently separate the labia to expose the gland beneath.
This option is incorrect because "vania" is not a correct anatomical term and the sentence seems incomplete. Also, it doesn't mention what to do after cleaning the area.
-The region of the genital portion is located between the anus and the top part of the vagina. To remove the folds, you may use a muslin or silk cloth.
This option contains irrelevant information about the genital portion and suggests using muslin or silk cloth to remove folds, which does not pertain to collecting a sterile urine sample.
-The tract connecting the genital folds and the vagina is referred to as the urethra. This folds and ducts is where urine enters.
This option is incorrect because it incorrectly describes the urethra's connection to the genital folds and vagina. The urethra is the duct where urine leaves the body, but the sentence structure and description here are confusing and not helpful for the task of collecting a sterile urine sample. | You are an AI assistant.

This option is incorrect because it incorrectly describes the urethra's connection to the genital folds and vagina. The urethra is the duct where urine leaves the body, but the sentence structure and description here are confusing and not helpful for the task of collecting a sterile urine sample. </s><s>[INST] | 2,719 |
âA Wanted Man - A Jack Reacher Novelâ by Lee Child - NYTimes.com
“A Wanted Man” is Lee Child’s 17th Jack Reacher novel and the last to be published before Reacher goes Hollywood with “Jack Reacher,” a big Christmas movie based on book No. 9, “One Shot,” and starring — can’t say it ain’t so, because it is — Tom Cruise. Mr. Cruise seems such a wrong choice to play this jumbo vigilante that this is a good moment to contemplate the essential Reacher: not just what he looks like but also what he really is.
Perhaps in sly response to a movie that will feature a lot of action, Mr. Child begins “A Wanted Man” by confining Reacher to very close quarters. The first 125 pages of this new novel are about a car trip. After waiting exactly 93 minutes on the eastbound ramp of a Nebraska highway, he successfully hitches a ride. The car contains two men and a woman, and Reacher knows nothing about them. Being Reacher, he will spend those first 125 pages observing every detail, watching every move, trying to deduce as much as he can.
His enormous size counts for nothing during this part of the book. Nor does his appearance, although he has a busted nose and is said to resemble a very un-Cruise-like “gorilla with its face smashed in.” And he has no opportunities to resort to his tactic of choice, extreme violence. So he rides along an endless straight road through Iowa thinking about codes and signs and numbers and letters (“Reacher had no patience with people who claimed that y was a vowel”). He is a math guy at heart, and he isn’t likely to meet anyone equally wonky until this series takes him through Silicon Valley.
On the road Reacher gradually figures out that the men, Alan King and Don McQueen, are kidnappers. Their hostage is Karen Delfuenso, a terrified waitress whose car they have hijacked. Reacher arranges to drive the car with Karen in the seat behind him so that they can make eye contact in the rearview mirror. Improbably Karen starts blinking and twisting her head to deliver some kind of secret message. Even more improbably, Reacher cracks her code almost immediately and finds out what she is trying to say.
A third of the way into “A Wanted Man,” his only acts of violence have been hypothetical. “It was technically challenging to take out a guy in the front passenger seat while driving at 80 miles an hour,” he muses while at the wheel. Also, the 6-foot-5-inch Reacher has arms so long that he would need to keep his elbow bent: he wants to slug his passenger, not punch out the car’s side window. In any case, it’s time for Mr. Child to get him out of the car and unleash him on the book’s assorted evildoers.
Outside the car, meanwhile, “A Wanted Man” has been developing one of the best female characters in the whole Reacher series: Julia Sorenson, an F.B.I. special agent from Omaha who is called in to investigate a potential interstate crime. Once Reacher is sprung from the car, he encounters Sorenson, who ought to be his natural adversary. But she, like all the women who interest Reacher, is as smart and methodical as he is, and he impresses her with his irrefutable, conveniently self-serving logic. He easily convinces her that whatever is unfolding, he and she should be on the same side.
Reacher’s banter is usually more elegant than it is in “A Wanted Man.” He can do better than this, which he aims at a trucker who is bothering him: “Option 1, get back in your truck and get breakfast 50 miles down the road. Option 2, get in an ambulance and get breakfast through a plastic tube.” Still, the sang-froid of his delivery is what makes the big impression. And anyone worried about Reacher on screen can rest easy. Just remember how dauntingly Mr. Cruise can deliver that kind of dialogue, how greatly the character’s intelligence outshines his brawn, and how formidable Reacher would be even if he didn’t tower over everyone around him. Size doesn’t matter, as you will see in December.
Since Mr. Child’s titles tend to be so generic (No. 18 will be “Never Go Back”), “A Wanted Man” is best thought of as the one with the car ride across the Midwest. But it eventually expands into something gigantic: a scheme involving an alphabet soup of federal agencies and the obligatory foreign terrorists operating on American soil.
Quick action and solid detective work elevate the second part of this book until it segues into one of the best of the series’s climactic assaults: the expected, wildly over-the-top moment when Reacher must single-handedly penetrate some kind of huge, geometrically interesting, top-secret high-security fortress. This book’s version of that structure is described with clarity. And Reacher, who has been idly showing off his familiarity with Midwestern area codes, soil content and urban population counts, snaps into murderously good form. In this book he seems newly thoughtful about mortality, particularly his own.
Reacher’s vigilante ethics, à la Dirty Harry’s, are likely to fuel much more controversy in a movie than they do on the page. But these smart, breathless books have no trouble justifying their hero’s acts of vengeance. And “A Wanted Man” is more ingenious than other Reacher books have been about the underground activities Reacher is thwarting. Mr. Child’s endings would be even better if his books’ worst bad guys, besides being swarthy and disposable foreigners, were given tough-guy talents of their own.

Kurtis Eugene Warner (born June 22, 1971) is a former American football quarterback. He played for three National Football League (NFL) teams: the St. Louis Rams, the New York Giants, and the Arizona Cardinals. He was originally signed by the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent in 1994 after playing college football at Northern Iowa. Warner went on to be considered the best undrafted NFL player of all time, following a 12-year career regarded as one of the greatest stories in NFL history.
Prior to the 1999 free-agency period, the Rams chose Warner to be one of the team's five unprotected players in the 1999 NFL Expansion Draft. Warner went unselected by the Cleveland Browns, who chose no Rams and whose only quarterback selection was Scott Milanovich. The Rams let Bono leave in free agency and signed Trent Green to be the starter. Banks was traded to the Ravens, and Warner now found himself second on the depth chart. After Green tore his ACL in a preseason game, Rams coach Dick Vermeil named Warner as the Rams' starter. In an emotional press conference, Vermeil--who hadn't seen Warner work with the first-string offense--said, "We will rally around Kurt Warner, and we'll play good football." With the support of running back Marshall Faulk and wide receivers Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Az-Zahir Hakim, and Ricky Proehl, Warner put together one of the top seasons by a quarterback in NFL history, throwing for 4,353 yards with 41 touchdown passes and a completion rate of 65.1%. The Rams' high-powered offense, run by offensive coordinator Mike Martz, was nicknamed "The Greatest Show on Turf" and registered the first in a string of three consecutive 500-point seasons, an NFL record. Warner threw three touchdown passes in each of his first three NFL starts; he is the only NFL quarterback in history to accomplish that feat. Warner drew more attention in the Rams' fourth game of the season, a home game against the San Francisco 49ers (who had been NFC West division champions for 12 of the previous 13 seasons). The Rams had lost their last 17 meetings with the 49ers, but Warner proceeded to throw a touchdown pass on each of the Rams' first three possessions of the game, and four touchdowns in the first half alone, to propel the Rams to a 28-10 halftime lead on the way to a 42-20 victory. Warner finished the game with five touchdown passes, giving him 14 in four games and the Rams a 4-0 record. Warner's breakout season from a career in anonymity was so unexpected that Sports Illustrated featured him on their October 18 cover with the caption "Who Is This Guy?" He was named the 1999 NFL MVP at the season's end for leading the Rams to their first playoff berth since 1989 (when they were still in Los Angeles) and their first division title since 1985. In the NFL playoffs, Warner ultimately led the Rams to a victory in Super Bowl XXXIV against the Tennessee Titans. In the game, he threw for two touchdowns and a then Super Bowl-record 414 passing yards, including a 73-yard touchdown to Isaac Bruce when the game was tied with just over two minutes to play, which proved to be the game-winning score. Warner also set a Super Bowl record by attempting 45 passes without a single interception. For his performance, Warner was awarded the Super Bowl MVP award.

How do I ask a Canadian university to waive my TOEFL scores? English is my first language and I've heard universities do that sometimes.
If I want to apply to Top Universities in USA and I have a 3.98 GPA, GRE scores of 167Q and 160V, 4 AWA, and a TOEFL of 112, how good are my chances?
Do those questions have the same meaning? | In order to address your questions, let's break the response into two parts accordingly.
1. Asking a Canadian university to waive your TOEFL scores:
It is not uncommon for universities to waive TOEFL requirements in certain situations. To request a waiver, you should follow these steps:
a. Research Eligibility: Begin by checking the university's general policy regarding TOEFL waivers and find out if they have provisions for waiving the requirement based on certain conditions such as being a native English speaker or having completed previous education in English-medium institutions.
b. Gather Supporting Evidence: Collect necessary documents to prove your proficiency in English. These may include certificates, transcripts, or letters from your previous educational institutions confirming that English was the medium of instruction. Additionally, you may include any awards or memberships that indicate your strong English communication skills.
c. Write a Waiver Request Letter: Prepare a formal letter addressed to the admissions office or the specific department where you are applying. In the letter, clearly state your request for a TOEFL waiver and provide a rationale for the request. Be sure to include your contact information and application ID or student number (if available). Mention any relevant experience or qualifications that demonstrate your English language proficiency and attach the necessary supporting documents listed above.
d. Submit the Request: Send your waiver request letter along with the supporting documents via email or as part of your online application (if the university allows it). Make sure to send your request well in advance of the application deadline, giving the university enough time to consider your request and provide a response.
e. Follow Up: If you haven't heard back from the university within a few weeks, it's a good idea to follow up with the admissions office or department to check the status of your waiver request.
2. Evaluating your chances of being accepted into top universities in the USA:
Admission to top universities in the USA is competitive, and each institution has its own set of selection criteria. In general, your high GPA (3.98) and competitive GRE scores (167Q and 160V) are major strengths in your application. A TOEFL score of 112 is also considered quite strong in terms of English proficiency. However, top universities often look at a range of factors beyond just academic scores:
a. Letters of Recommendation: Strong recommendations from faculty or other professionals who can vouch for your capabilities and potential are an essential part of the application.
b. Personal Statement or Essays: Well-written and compelling personal statements or essays that reveal your goals, interests, motivation, and unique experiences contribute significantly to your chances of admission.
c. Extracurricular Activities and Work Experience: Top universities appreciate students with diverse backgrounds and experiences, including involvement in clubs, organizations, internships, research projects, or other relevant work experience.
d. Specific Departmental Requirements: Depending on your field of study, individual departments might have specific requirements that you need to fulfill, such as portfolios, interviews, or additional tests.
Considering all these factors, it's impossible to predict the exact chances of being accepted into top universities. However, your academic credentials are strong, and focusing on other aspects of your application (such as letters of recommendation, personal statement, and extracurricular involvement) can increase your chances of securing admission to a top university.
Regarding your final question, the two initial questions are related but not identical in meaning. The first question is about requesting a TOEFL waiver from a Canadian university, while the second question seeks an evaluation of your chances of being accepted into top universities in the USA based on your credentials. While both questions concern university admissions, they focus on different aspects and are not interchangeable. | You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task.

Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: SAN FRANCISCO -- Sales for Apple's third generation iPad has hit record in the first days after it was on the market, Apple and carrier AT&T said on Monday. The new iPad went on sale on March 16 in the United States along with nine additional countries and areas. "We had a record weekend, and we are thrilled with it," Apple's CEO Tim Cook said Monday at a conference. Shortly after the conference call, AT&T said the launch of the new iPad set a new single-day record for its sales. "On Friday, March 16 AT&T set a new single-day record for its iPad sales, showing strong demand for the new iPad on the nation's largest 4G network," said the mobile carrier in a brief announcement.

Movie plot title: Vertical Limit Movie plot: While climbing in Monument Valley, siblings Peter (O'Donnell) and Annie Garrett (Tunney) lose their father, Royce (Stuart Wilson). After two falling amateurs leave the family dangling, Royce forces Peter to cut him loose to save Peter and his sister. Peter has since retired from climbing, becoming a full-time wildlife photographer, and Annie has gone on to become a renowned mountain climber. Their relationship is strained as Annie still blames Peter for obeying Royce instead of waiting for her to secure the rope. Three years later, during a wildlife photo shoot for National Geographic in the lower Himalayas in Pakistan, Peter's assistant falls and breaks his leg and has to be evacuated by the Pakistani Army stationed in a military station that monitors avalanches. Peter is dropped off at K2 Base Camp and searches for Annie who is planning a summit attempt on K2, the world's second highest and most dangerous mountain.

Vaughn has the help of renowned climber Tom McLaren (Nicholas Lea) and other expedition members include Pakistani mountaneer Ali Nazir. The day before the climb Vaughn throws a promotional party with all the people at base camp that is interrupted by reclusive Montgomery Wick (Glenn), reported to be the world's best climber and foremost expert on K2, who asks if it will be Vaughn or the experienced McLaren who will be making the decisions during the climb, as the team cannot have two leaders.

Q:What is the first name of the person who was a central figure in the development of rockabilly? Answer the above question based on the context below: Presley was a central figure in the development of rockabilly, according to music historians. "Rockabilly crystallized into a recognizable style in 1954 with Elvis Presley's first release, on the Sun label", writes Craig Morrison. Paul Friedlander describes the defining elements of rockabilly, which he similarly characterizes as "essentially ... an Elvis Presley construction": "the raw, emotive, and slurred vocal style and emphasis on rhythmic feeling [of] the blues with the string band and strummed rhythm guitar [of] country". In "That's All Right", the Presley trio's first record, Scotty Moore's guitar solo, "a combination of Merle Travis–style country finger-picking, double-stop slides from acoustic boogie, and blues-based bent-note, single-string work, is a microcosm of this fusion." While Katherine Charlton likewise calls Presley "rockabilly's originator", Carl Perkins has explicitly stated that "[Sam] Phillips, Elvis, and I didn't create rockabilly." and, according to Michael Campbell, "Bill Haley recorded the first big rockabilly hit." In Moore's view, too, "It had been there for quite a while, really. Carl Perkins was doing basically the same sort of thing up around Jackson, and I know for a fact Jerry Lee Lewis had been playing that kind of music ever since he was ten years old."At RCA, Presley's rock and roll sound grew distinct from rockabilly with group chorus vocals, more heavily amplified electric guitars and a tougher, more intense manner. While he was known for taking songs from various sources and giving them a rockabilly/rock and roll treatment, he also recorded songs in other genres from early in his career, from the pop standard "Blue Moon" at Sun to the country ballad "How's the World Treating You?" on his second LP to the blues of "Santa Claus Is Back in Town". In 1957, his first gospel record was released, the four-song EP Peace in the Valley. Certified as a million seller, it became the top-selling gospel EP in recording history.

He might have some 60 albums under his belt and numerous awards to his name but iconic Zimbabwean musician Oliver Mtukudzi has no plans to slow down. "Retiring from what?" he asks purposefully when asked if he'd consider a break from music. "This is me," explains 60-year-old Mtukudzi moments before he hits the stage at the Market Theater in downtown Johannesburg, South Africa. "I'm doing me; I'm not doing a career. This is who I am; I can't retire really from myself." It is, then, no surprise that award-winning Mtukudzi, who is affectionately called Tuku by his fans, decided to mark his birthday last September with the release of yet another album. Called "Sarawoga," which means "left alone" in Shona, Mtukudzi's latest album is a tribute to his beloved son Sam, who died in a car crash in 2010 aged 21. Watch Mtukudzi performing. The recording comes after a long period of grief for the soft-spoken artist. "I'm still learning to live with it," says Ntukudzi, who had written and rehearsed many of the album's songs with his son; Sam was a highly talented multi-instrumentalist himself who pursued his own music career but would also often perform with his father. "I've only released my first offering this year and for the past two years I didn't even think about my music really," says Ntukudzi. "I was just thinking of him and trying to recover, even though music was my therapy. I think I've performed more shows since 2010 up to today than ever before because that's the only therapy I've got." Read related: Afrobeats going global. Born into a musical family in 1952, Mtukudzi has been successfully performing for nearly four decades throughout Africa as well as in the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada. His foot-stomping music has been described as a mixture of Zimbabwean pop style "jit" and South African township pop. Through his distinct sound and inspiring lyrics, he's documented the joy and pain of his countrymen who fought for freedom under colonial rule and died for democracy after Zimbabwe's independence in 1980. "Where I come from you don't get to sing a song if you have nothing to say," says the musician, who grew up in Highfield, a ghetto neighborhood in the Zimbabwean capital of Harare. "So every song has something to do with that man in the street, he must be able to use it in his life." As a young boy, Mtukudzi joined choirs to improve his singing talent and taught himself how to play a three-string guitar. He soon started writing and recording songs and after an illustrious career he is today one of Zimbabwe's best-known musicians. Read related: The man who brought MTV to Africa. More than just an entertainer, Mtukudzi is committed to addressing everyday social challenges, using his music as a vehicle to speak about the issues he's passionate about. In 2003 he founded an art center in Norton, near Harare, and last year he became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for eastern and southern Africa, focusing on youth development and HIV/AIDS. Mtukudzi, who lost his brother Robert and several band members to AIDS, recently took his campaign to eradicate the HIV/AIDS stigma to mothers in Tanzania. He is also outspoken against patriarchy and has criticized polygamy as a practice that increases the risk of spreading HIV. But as well as tackling heated and important issues with his songs, the artist-turned-activist has also been producing and starring in feature films since the early 1990s, using his celebrity to empower and influence others. Released in the early 1990s, feature film "Neria" questions the place of tradition in the life of contemporary African women. The theme song remains to this day one of Mtukudzi's most popular tracks. "I know sound is OK but visual can be better ... because it sticks in your head," he says. "If you see things you get to understand things much better than when you just hear things. That's why we do short films and try and show them to the people." Read related: Malian kora legend breaks music barriers. Back at the Market Theater, a few minutes before his sold-out concert begins, Mtukudzi admits that he still doesn't known which songs from his long repertoire he will play to his audience. His show, he says, is all about the moment. "I don't write a setlist," he explains. "How do I know the show is going to be for me to plan? I just look for the first song -- if I find the first song everything falls into place, because I don't know the mood of the day, so as I get into the mood I get the songs."

– Miranda Kerr may not have her sights set on Justin Bieber after all. Woman's Day in Australia is reporting that the supermodel, recently separated from hubby Orlando Bloom, is now in a relationship with Australian casino mogul and billionaire James Packer. Packer was married to another model, Erica Baxter, for six years, but they split up a month before Kerr and Bloom, in September; the two couples had vacationed together in Tahiti months before the respective break-ups. "Miranda may come across as an Earth Mother but she loves the high life and James can provide the sort of lifestyle and security very few could give her," a friend says. "I couldn't be happier for her—this year’s been pretty difficult for Miranda. Her career seems to have hit a slump and she was totally devastated by the split." Interestingly, she and Packer reportedly met through Bloom and Baxter. The Sydney Morning Herald says they've been friends for a long time. Packer, 46, has three children with Baxter, including a daughter who just turned one, while Kerr, 30, has a young son, Flynn, with Bloom.
Article: | Miranda Kerr's New Romance Blossoms with Billionaire James Packer
Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr appears to be moving on from her recent separation from actor Orlando Bloom, and contrary to earlier speculation involving Justin Bieber, it seems she has set her sights elsewhere. Australian magazine Woman's Day has reported that Kerr is currently in a relationship with billionaire James Packer, the influential Australian casino mogul.
James Packer, who was previously married to model Erica Baxter for six years, split up with Baxter just a month before Kerr and Bloom's separation in September. Interestingly, the two couples had spent a vacation together in Tahiti a few months prior to their respective break-ups. Kerr, 30, also happens to have a long-standing friendship with Packer, which was initiated through her former husband Orlando Bloom and Packer's ex-wife Erica Baxter. The Sydney Morning Herald mentioned that they've been friends for a considerable period of time.
A close friend of Miranda Kerr's has expressed happiness for the couple, stating, "Miranda may come across as an Earth Mother, but she loves the high life, and James can provide the sort of lifestyle and security very few could give her." The friend went on to add, "I couldn't be happier for her—this year's been pretty difficult for Miranda. Her career seems to have hit a slump and she was totally devastated by the split."
Both Kerr and Packer are no strangers to being parents. Packer, 46, has three children with Baxter, including a daughter who recently turned one. Kerr, on the other hand, shares a young son named Flynn with her ex-husband, actor Orlando Bloom.
As the romance flourishes between Miranda Kerr and James Packer, fans are hopeful that this new relationship will bring about posiitive outcomes for both parties after their recent difficult times. | You are an AI assistant.

Woman's Day in Australia is reporting that the supermodel, recently separated from hubby Orlando Bloom, is now in a relationship with Australian casino mogul and billionaire James Packer. Packer was married to another model, Erica Baxter, for six years, but they split up a month before Kerr and Bloom, in September; the two couples had vacationed together in Tahiti months before the respective break-ups. "Miranda may come across as an Earth Mother but she loves the high life and James can provide the sort of lifestyle and security very few could give her," a friend says. "I couldn't be happier for her—this year’s been pretty difficult for Miranda. Her career seems to have hit a slump and she was totally devastated by the split." Interestingly, she and Packer reportedly met through Bloom and Baxter. The Sydney Morning Herald says they've been friends for a long time. Packer, 46, has three children with Baxter, including a daughter who just turned one, while Kerr, 30, has a young son, Flynn, with Bloom.
Article: [/INST] Miranda Kerr's New Romance Blossoms with Billionaire James Packer
Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr appears to be moving on from her recent separation from actor Orlando Bloom, and contrary to earlier speculation involving Justin Bieber, it seems she has set her sights elsewhere. Australian magazine Woman's Day has reported that Kerr is currently in a relationship with billionaire James Packer, the influential Australian casino mogul.
James Packer, who was previously married to model Erica Baxter for six years, split up with Baxter just a month before Kerr and Bloom's separation in September. Interestingly, the two couples had spent a vacation together in Tahiti a few months prior to their respective break-ups. Kerr, 30, also happens to have a long-standing friendship with Packer, which was initiated through her former husband Orlando Bloom and Packer's ex-wife Erica Baxter. The Sydney Morning Herald mentioned that they've been friends for a considerable period of time.
A close friend of Miranda Kerr's has expressed happiness for the couple, stating, "Miranda may come across as an Earth Mother, but she loves the high life, and James can provide the sort of lifestyle and security very few could give her." The friend went on to add, "I couldn't be happier for her—this year's been pretty difficult for Miranda. Her career seems to have hit a slump and she was totally devastated by the split."
Both Kerr and Packer are no strangers to being parents. Packer, 46, has three children with Baxter, including a daughter who recently turned one. Kerr, on the other hand, shares a young son named Flynn with her ex-husband, actor Orlando Bloom.
As the romance flourishes between Miranda Kerr and James Packer, fans are hopeful that this new relationship will bring about posiitive outcomes for both parties after their recent difficult times. </s><s>[INST] | 3,232 |
Frank McCarthy who produced the Academy Award winning biographical film Patton follows it up with a strong tribute to another of America's fighting generals, Douglas MacArthur. Gregory Peck gives a strong characterization of the man, his genius as well as his egotism. With MacArthur you never knew quite where one began and the other left off and too many times they blended.
The whole story of Douglas MacArthur would be a six hour film or a TV mini-series. It would cover him from his days on frontier posts with his family to his time at West Point where he still has the highest scholastic average ever achieved by a cadet. It would talk about his service in the Phillipines as a young officer, his legend building bravery on the battlefields of World War I in France. It would also have to tell about him firing on the Bonus Marchers of World War I veterans in 1932, probably putting the final kabosh on any chances President Herbert Hoover had of getting re-elected. During MacArthur's last years he and Hoover had penthouse suites at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. That must have been a subject they avoided.
This film concentrates on the years 1941 to 1952 and it is told in flashback. The film opens with MacArthur addressing the student body in 1962. As he speaks the words of the famous Duty Honor Country speech, MacArthur's mind goes back to World War II and his desperate struggle against the advancing Japanese on the island of Corregidor and the fields of Bataan on Luzon. The film takes him through his struggle to win back the Phillipines, the occupation of Japan and the first 18 months culminating in his relief of command by President Truman.
MacArthur as a film would not work at all if it wasn't for the portrayals of Dan O'Herlihy and Ed Flanders as Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman respectively. It's the part of the film I enjoyed the best, seeing MacArthur and his relations with both these men.
FDR by O'Herlihy captures the aristocratic squire and exceptionally devious man that was our 32nd President. Roosevelt was a man who got his points across with unusual subtlety and cleverness. Sometimes he liked scheming a little too much for its own sake, but he was the master politician of the last century. Note how he deals with MacArthur both as a battlefield commander and potential rival at the same time.
Truman by Flanders is as people remember him, a blunt spoken man of the people who disliked MacArthur's haughtiness from the gitgo. Of course it's in the history books how Truman relieved MacArthur in 1951 for insubordination. MacArthur was insubordinate, no doubt about it.
Yet I could write a whole thesis on the Truman-MacArthur relations. Along the way it need not have ever come to a crisis. I've always felt that FDR would have dealt with the whole matter in a far better way had he still been president then.
MacArthur was also grandly eloquent and Gregory Peck captures some of that eloquence in some of the orations that made him as much a legend as victories on the battlefield. Listen to Peck at the Japanese surrender, at MacArthur's farewell to the nation before the joint session of Congress, and of course his speech to the cadets in 1962. Watch the newsreels and see if you don't agree.

In ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’, what was desired by the knights who say ‘Ni’? | In the 1975 British comedy film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", The Knights Who Say "Ni" are a mysterious group of knights led by their leader, the head Knight, played by Michael Palin. The film is a parody of the King Arthur legend and features the British comedy group Monty Python, comprising of John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and Graham Chapman.
The particular scene with the Knights Who Say "Ni" occurs when King Arthur (Graham Chapman) and his faithful servant, Patsy (Terry Gilliam), encounter the strange knights in their quest to find the Holy Grail, a legendary artifact of Christian mythology. The Knights Who Say "Ni" are feared throughout the land due to the crippling effect that their uttering of the word "ni" has on people who hear it.
When King Arthur and his entourage first encounter the Knights Who Say "Ni," they are presented with a task: to bring them a shrubbery. The demand originates from the head Knight, who claims that the knights "have no shrubberies" and thus wish for one. In order to proceed with their quest, King Arthur and his followers must find and present the Knights with a suitable shrubbery, which they define as "one that looks nice" and "is not too expensive." The shrubbery must also be compatible with their current horticultural layout.
In the film, the Knights Who Say "Ni" utilize their demand for a shrubbery to demonstrate their power and control over those they encounter. The demand is arbitrary and whimsical, symbolizing the absurd lengths to which people may have to go to please those in authority and fulfill quests.
Ultimately, King Arthur and his companions succeed in procuring a shrubbery from an old woman named Roger the Shrubber (Eric Idle), who possesses some expertise in shrubberies. They bring it back to the Knights Who Say "Ni" but are then given another task. The second task is to find another shrubbery and place it next to the first one, but slightly higher "so you get a two-level effect with a little path running down the middle." Additionally, they must also cut down the mightiest tree in the forest with... a herring, an impossible and nonsensical task, making it clear that the Knights Who Say "Ni" are not to be reasoned with. The scene ends with King Arthur successfully defeating the Knights Who Say "Ni" by using their "sacred words" against them.
The scene involving the Knights Who Say "Ni" is a classic example of Monty Python's unique comedic style, one that embraces absurdity, wordplay, and surrealism to form a memorable and entertaining satire. | You are an AI assistant.

This article: At Birmingham, Oliphant's team had reached a different conclusion. Oliphant had delegated the task to two German refugee scientists, Rudolf Peierls and Otto Frisch, who could not work on Oliphant's radar project because they were enemy aliens and therefore lacked the necessary security clearance. Francis Perrin had calculated the critical mass of uranium to be about 40 tonnes (39 long tons; 44 short tons). He reckoned that if a neutron reflector were placed around it, this might be reduced to 12 tonnes (12 long tons; 13 short tons). Peierls attempted to simplify the problem by using the fast neutrons produced by fission, thus omitting consideration of moderator. He too calculated the critical mass of a sphere of uranium in a theoretical paper written in 1939 to be "of the order of tons".Peierls knew the importance of the size of the critical mass that would allow a chain reaction to take place and its practical significance. In the interior of a critical mass sphere, neutrons are spontaneously produced by the fissionable material. A very small portion of these neutrons are colliding with other nuclei, while a larger portion of the neutrons are escaping through the surface of the sphere. Peierls calculated the equilibrium of the system, where the number of neutrons being produced equalled the number escaping.Niels Bohr had theorised that the rare uranium-235 isotope, which makes up only about 0.7% of natural uranium, was primarily responsible for fission with fast neutrons, although this was not yet universally accepted. Frisch and Peierls were thus able to revise their initial estimate of critical mass needed for nuclear fission in uranium to be substantially less than previously assumed. They estimated a metallic sphere of uranium-235 with a radius of 2.1 centimetres (0.83 in) could suffice. This amount represented approximately 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) of uranium-235. These results led to the Frisch–Peierls memorandum, which was the initial step in the development of the nuclear arms programme in Britain.

Question: I am a movie director and I just received the following movie plot. Could you help me answer this question? If not, let me know by writing "Not answerable". Plot title: The Swarm Movie plot: A group of soldiers led by Major Baker (Bradford Dillman) is ordered to investigate a basement level station which they believed was attacked. After Baker contacts his commander, Gen. Slater (Richard Widmark), they begin to investigate who drove a civilian van into the base. It is revealed to be owned by a scientist named Dr. Bradford Crane (Michael Caine), the only survivor of the attack. Slater orders two helicopters to check for a black mass (revealed to be bees), but the two helicopters are swarmed by the bees and explode, killing the pilots inside. Crane insists to Slater that the base was attacked by the same African killer bees that destroyed the helicopters. Helena Anderson (Katharine Ross), one of the base's doctors, supports Crane's story.Meanwhile, in the countryside, a family is attacked by a swarm of the bees. The teenaged son manages to escape in a Mustang, although he is also stung, and crashes into the Maryville town square, where the citizens are preparing for the annual flower festival. The boy is brought into the hands of military personnel, where he hallucinates a vision of giant bees attacking him, due to the aftereffects of the bee sting. Dr. Walter Krim (Henry Fonda) confirms to Crane that the very war they have feared for a long time has started against the bees.

One day a merchant brings musical instruments to sell to Peewit, the court jester, but because Peewit is such a terrible musician the King throws the merchant out before Peewit arrives. However he has left behind a flute that only has six holes. The King throws it into the fireplace in his room, which starts to emit green smoke. When the fire is put out, Peewit retrieves the flute from the ashes unharmed. He cleans it and starts playing it for the whole castle realizing that it causes everyone to dance when it is played. That night a man named Matthew McCreep learns from the merchant that the same flute he had been looking for is at the castle. He heads over to the castle and steals the flute from Peewit.

He follows a woman named Natasha to Ukraine, when he realizes that she had been hiding vital information, Ka-kui calls for backup and she is later arrested. However, Natasha's partner is an unknown man, who turns out to be Jackson Tsui (Jackson Liu), a Chinese American nuclear scientist with CIA links, suspected of stealing a nuclear warhead. Ka-kui follows Tsui to a restricted area, and after a trap set by Tsui, the CIA agents together with Ukrainian authorities engage in battle.

When he recovers in Russia, he meets Colonel Gregor Yegorov (Yuri Petrov) who explains the situation. Ka-kui goes with the FSB and is taken to Moscow where he discovers he has been assigned to work with Gregor to solve a similar case involving nuclear weapons being smuggled out of Ukraine. His task is to track Tsui, who disappeared after their last encounter. He is taken by a Russian submarine to Brisbane, Australia, where Tsui's younger sister Annie (Wu Chen-chun) works at an aquarium doing shark shows. Uncle 7 (Terry Woo), the Tsuis' father and the local Triad boss, is seriously ill and Ka-kui suspects the criminal will show up soon. Unknown to Ka-kui, Tsui is hiding at the hospital and has given a nuclear warhead (disguised as a small oxygen tank) to Annie, who hides it at the aquarium. While following Annie, Ka-kui gets held up by Tsui, who claims to have a deal with Gregor. Ka-kui, after realizing he has been used by Gregor, decides to return home, but two men are sent to kill him, and he is framed for the murder of Uncle 7. He attempts to clear his name by going to see Annie at the memorial hall, but he is (unsurprisingly) unwelcome, having to fight bodyguards and Tsui has to eventually rescue him.

He is taken by a Russian submarine to Brisbane, Australia, where Tsui's younger sister Annie (Wu Chen-chun) works at an aquarium doing shark shows. Uncle 7 (Terry Woo), the Tsuis' father and the local Triad boss, is seriously ill and Ka-kui suspects the criminal will show up soon. Unknown to Ka-kui, Tsui is hiding at the hospital and has given a nuclear warhead (disguised as a small oxygen tank) to Annie, who hides it at the aquarium. While following Annie, Ka-kui gets held up by Tsui, who claims to have a deal with Gregor. Ka-kui, after realizing he has been used by Gregor, decides to return home, but two men are sent to kill him, and he is framed for the murder of Uncle 7. He attempts to clear his name by going to see Annie at the memorial hall, but he is (unsurprisingly) unwelcome, having to fight bodyguards and Tsui has to eventually rescue him. Tsui explains that Gregor caught him on a CIA assignment three... My question: What was Jackson Tsui suspected of stealing?

Timberlake, who was in the Houston area as a part of his Man of the Woods world tour, surprised Sarah Salazar in her hospital room in eastern Texas, her mother wrote in a Facebook post Friday, just one week after Sarah was wounded in a mass shooting.
Sarah was among those injured at Santa Fe High School when a former student opened fire on two art classrooms, killing 10 and wounding 13, police said.

Sarah's mother, Sonia Lopez-Puentes, shared an image of her daughter with the pop star in her hospital room on Friday, showing Timberlake smiling and crouching at her bedside.
Lopez-Puentes thanked him and other special visitors, including Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, in a separate post on Saturday.
"JJ Watt, Justin Timberlake ... school officials, board members, teachers, fellow classmates, friends and family have taken time to visit Sarah this week showing their love and support bringing smiles to her beautiful face," she wrote, adding that her daughter appeared to be "making progress."

Timberlake acknowledged the shooting during his show at the Toyota Center in Houston on Wednesday and dedicated his performance of "Until the End of the Time" to those killed.
"Let those angels hear you up there," he said to the singing crowd. "We're gonna light the whole arena, this whole city up for Santa Fe High School."
Salazar sustained multiple injuries in the May 18 shooting, including a broken jaw, fractured rib bones and a shattered shoulder, according to a GoFundMe page set up on her mother’s behalf. The GoFundMe campaign had raised about $21,000 in donations as of Tuesday morning, a little more than one-third of its fundraising goal.
The alleged gunman, 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis, was charged with capital murder in the wake of the shooting. Police said he was armed with a shotgun and a .38-caliber revolver, both of which were legally owned by his father.
Police have yet to declare a motive. Pagourtzis is currently being held at the Galveston County Jail, where he's under suicide watch. |||||

Q: Excretion is the process of removing excess water and wastes from the body. what are the main organs of excretion? A: | Excretion is indeed a vital process that helps maintain the body's internal balance and prevents the buildup of harmful substances within the system. This process primarily involves the removal of metabolic waste products, excess water, salts, and other substances that the body no longer needs. The main organs responsible for excretion in the human body are the kidneys, lungs, skin, and the liver.
1. Kidneys: The kidneys are considered the primary excretory organs. They are a pair of bean-shaped organs located towards the lower back, on either side of the spine. They play a significant role in filtering and cleaning the blood. As blood flows through the kidneys, they remove wastes and excess substances such as water, salts, and urea. These waste materials form a liquid called urine, which is transported from the kidneys to the bladder through narrow tubes called ureters. The bladder stores the urine temporarily until it is eliminated from the body through the urethra. The kidneys also help regulate the body's fluid balance and blood pressure by excreting or retaining water as needed.
2. Lungs: The lungs are responsible for the excretion of gaseous wastes, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), which is a byproduct of cellular respiration. When cells produce energy from the nutrients we consume, they generate CO2 as a waste product. This CO2 gets dissolved in the blood and gets transported to the lungs. During the process of respiration, we inhale oxygen (O2) and exhale carbon dioxide. The lungs help expel CO2 from the body, ensuring that it doesn't accumulate to toxic levels.
3. Skin: The skin, in addition to serving as a protective barrier, also plays a role in excretion through the process of perspiration (sweating). Sweat glands, which are found all over the skin, secrete sweat, a fluid that consists of water, dissolved salts, and organic compounds such as urea and lactic acid. Sweating not only helps to regulate body temperature but also aids in removing small amounts of waste products. Moreover, the skin sheds dead cells, which contain waste materials accumulated during cellular processes, and eliminating them from the body.
4. Liver: The liver is a large, vital organ responsible for various metabolic processes, including detoxification and excretion. It filters the blood, removing harmful substances like alcohol, drugs, and toxins absorbed from the digestive tract. One of its primary functions is the production and secretion of bile, a digestive fluid that helps break down fats and carries waste products, cholesterol, and bilirubin (a byproduct of red blood cell degradation) to the small intestine. These waste materials are then mixed with undigested food and form feces, which is eventually eliminated from the body through the rectum during defecation.
In summary, the main organs of excretion – kidneys, lungs, skin, and liver – work together to ensure that the body efficiently removes excess water, waste products, and toxic substances. By doing so, these organs contribute to overall health and maintain the body's delicate internal balance. | You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task.

Premise:
"The Origin of Specious" Based on this premise, is the hypothesis "The Termination of Specious." true? | Step 1: Define the terms
To evaluate the hypothesis "The Termination of Specious" based on the premise "The Origin of Specious," I first need to understand the meaning of "specious" and the context in which it is being used.
Specious (adjective): superficially plausible, but actually wrong; misleading in appearance, especially misleadingly attractive.
Step 2: Clarify the premise and hypothesis
Now that I understand the meaning of "specious," I will attempt to clarify the premise and hypothesis:
Premise: "The Origin of Specious" - This may refer to the beginning or emergence of things that are superficially plausible but actually wrong, misleadingly attractive, or deceptive.
Hypothesis: "The Termination of Specious" - This may refer to the end or dissolution of things that are superficially plausible but actually wrong, misleadingly attractive, or deceptive.
Step 3: Consider the relationship between the premise and hypothesis
The premise indicates a point of origin or emergence for specious things while the hypothesis suggests an ending or termination. It appears that the hypothesis could be true if there is indeed an ending or termination point for specious things.
Step 4: Evaluate factors that could lead to the termination of specious things
To determine if the hypothesis is true, I will assess various factors that could result in the termination of specious things:
1. Cultural evolution: Society might develop norms and values rejecting superficially plausible but actually wrong or misleading concepts over time.
2. Education: With awareness and understanding, people could become more capable of identifying and challenging specious ideas.
3. Advances in technology and communication: These could expose deceptive information and facilitate the spread of accurate and reliable data, ultimately leading to the decline of specious things.
Step 5: Conclusion
Based on my analysis, the hypothesis "The Termination of Specious" could be true if factors such as cultural evolution, education, and advances in technology result in the decline of specious things. However, this is a subjective analysis and may not hold true in all contexts. | You are an AI assistant. User will you give you a task. Your goal is to complete the task as faithfully as you can.

Write an article using the following points:
LeMoine's arrest is said to be 'imminent', says law enforcement sources. Barron initially accused Lohan of 'masterminding the alleged attack' Paris' brother is now said to be planning to sue both Lohan and LeMoine. LeMoine is now said to be 'on the run from authorities... and is attempting to seek refuge in Cuba'
Article: | Title: "LeMoine's Arrest Deemed Imminent Amidst Serious Allegations"
According to multiple law enforcement sources, imminent apprehension is on the horizon for the person of interest Raymond LeMoine, who is said to be on the run from authorities. These law enforcement sources suggest that they are closing in on LeMoine, whose arrest is warranted by the allegations levelled against him.
This development in events is a result of the allegations that have recently surfaced. Lohan, an A-list celebrity, has been accused of masterminding an alleged attack. The primary accuser of this coordinated assault is none other than Paris Barron, a personality in his own right and also the brother of this supposed victim.
The incident has resulted in a storm of controversy and a wave of legal implications. The accusations, as they stand, have Lohan 'pulling the strings' behind the scenes while LeMoine executed the alleged assault. It's important to remember that these are accusations and proof is yet to be presented to support such claims.
Not only is LeMoine on the hot seat of the law, but Barron is said to be planning a legal course of action against both Lohan and LeMoine in light of the alleged attack. If the lawsuit is filed, it would mean that LeMoine and Lohan will be facing serious charges and potential penalties, if proven guilty.
On LeMoine's end, his reaction to these developments seems to indicate guilt. LeMoine is reported to be evading authorities and is purportedly seeking refuge in Cuba. This information came to light after credible sources spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the investigation. It should further be noted that fleeing the country amidst ongoing investigations does not equate to admittance of guilt.
It goes without saying that these accusations carry significant weight and consequences. While the legal proceedings will seek to unravel the truth behind these allegations, the court of public opinion is already abuzz with speculation and assumptions.
However, it is essential that the legal process unfolds unimpeded, so that justice can be served and the truth comes to light. Until the legal authorities have completed their examination of the case, any judgement upon either party should be handled with caution, ensuring the preservation of their right to a fair trial.
This ongoing case serves as a stark reminder that no one is above the law, not even the celebrity elite. The apparent evasion and impending arrest of Raymond LeMoine emphasise the consequences that follow such serious allegations. While we wait for more concrete developments, the world continues to closely watch the events unfold in this high-profile case.

LeMoine's arrest is said to be 'imminent', says law enforcement sources.

Article: [/INST] Title: "LeMoine's Arrest Deemed Imminent Amidst Serious Allegations"
According to multiple law enforcement sources, imminent apprehension is on the horizon for the person of interest Raymond LeMoine, who is said to be on the run from authorities. These law enforcement sources suggest that they are closing in on LeMoine, whose arrest is warranted by the allegations levelled against him.
This development in events is a result of the allegations that have recently surfaced. Lohan, an A-list celebrity, has been accused of masterminding an alleged attack. The primary accuser of this coordinated assault is none other than Paris Barron, a personality in his own right and also the brother of this supposed victim.
The incident has resulted in a storm of controversy and a wave of legal implications. The accusations, as they stand, have Lohan 'pulling the strings' behind the scenes while LeMoine executed the alleged assault. It's important to remember that these are accusations and proof is yet to be presented to support such claims.
Not only is LeMoine on the hot seat of the law, but Barron is said to be planning a legal course of action against both Lohan and LeMoine in light of the alleged attack. If the lawsuit is filed, it would mean that LeMoine and Lohan will be facing serious charges and potential penalties, if proven guilty.
On LeMoine's end, his reaction to these developments seems to indicate guilt. LeMoine is reported to be evading authorities and is purportedly seeking refuge in Cuba. This information came to light after credible sources spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the investigation. It should further be noted that fleeing the country amidst ongoing investigations does not equate to admittance of guilt.
It goes without saying that these accusations carry significant weight and consequences. While the legal proceedings will seek to unravel the truth behind these allegations, the court of public opinion is already abuzz with speculation and assumptions.
However, it is essential that the legal process unfolds unimpeded, so that justice can be served and the truth comes to light. Until the legal authorities have completed their examination of the case, any judgement upon either party should be handled with caution, ensuring the preservation of their right to a fair trial.
This ongoing case serves as a stark reminder that no one is above the law, not even the celebrity elite. The apparent evasion and impending arrest of Raymond LeMoine emphasise the consequences that follow such serious allegations. While we wait for more concrete developments, the world continues to closely watch the events unfold in this high-profile case.
The article was written based on the points given and could include potentially sensitive information, speculation or assumptions, as no substantial evidence has been presented officially to the public. Therefore, the situation is still evolving, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available. </s><s>[INST] | 3,637 |
Please answer the following question: Question: "As a new resident of Detroit, Blacks had difficulties getting things such as mortgages because of what?" Context: "Detroit remains one of the most racially segregated cities in the United States. From the 1940s to the 1970s a second wave of Blacks moved to Detroit to escape Jim Crow laws in the south and find jobs. However, they soon found themselves excluded from white areas of the city—through violence, laws, and economic discrimination (e.g., redlining). White residents attacked black homes: breaking windows, starting fires, and exploding bombs. The pattern of segregation was later magnified by white migration to the suburbs. One of the implications of racial segregation, which correlates with class segregation, may be overall worse health for some populations." Answer:
A: | The difficulties experienced by Black residents in acquiring mortgages and other essential amenities in Detroit from the 1940s to the 1970s are mainly rooted in systemic and institutional racism that influenced both the social, economic, and legal aspects of their lives. Amid the context of Detroit being one of the most racially segregated cities in the United States, the intersection of racial and economic segregation resulted in a range of discriminatory practices profoundly impacting Black communities.
One primary practice that disadvantaged Black people was redlining. Redlining is a discriminatory housing policy first introduced by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC) in the 1930s. In this practice, neighborhoods were mapped and color-coded based on racial composition and perceived financial risk. Areas with a high percentage of Black or minority residents were typically marked in red to indicate a high risk, which strongly discouraged lenders from approving loans or mortgages for properties in these areas. This federal policy perpetuated the wealth gap, creating an obstinate cycle of poverty and hindered social mobility among Black residents.
Economic discrimination also played a significant role. It wasn't just confined to housing policies but was pervasive in employment as well. Despite moving to Detroit in search of better job opportunities to escape the prevailing Jim Crow laws of the South, Black residents often found themselves confined to low paying jobs, leading to economic instability. This economic instability further contributed to their perceived "risk" for lenders, making it harder for them to secure loans or mortgages.
Moreover, institutional racism was deeply entrenched into law, policing, and everyday societal norms. Black families were literally and violently kept out of white neighborhoods through the threat or use of force, thereby limiting their housing choices and perpetuating residential segregation. Furthermore, even when Black residents could potentially afford properties in "white areas," they were often met by violence—such as property attacks involving broken windows, fire outbreaks, and even bombings.
Lastly, the ongoing large-scale migration of white residents to the suburbs, otherwise known as "white flight," further deepened the racial demarcation. It led to disproportionate investment in the infrastructure, resources, and services available in those regions, leaving Black neighborhoods further underserved and under-resourced.
To sum up, systemic racism, economic discrimination, violent enforcement of segregation, and the redlining practice—pervasive during the period—made it exceptionally hard for Black newcomers in Detroit to access mortgages and secure decent housing. These factors are reflective of the larger patterns of racial and economic inequality in the United States during that time. | You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task.

Suggest a movie title for the following movie plot: Casey Beldon has nightmarish hallucinations of strange-looking dogs in the neighbourhood and an evil child with bright blue eyes following her around. While babysitting Matty, her neighbor's son, she finds him showing his infant sibling its reflection in a mirror. Matty attacks Casey, smashing the mirror on her head, and tells her: "Jumby wants to be born now". She puts him to bed and leaves in shock. Casey's friend Romy tells her of a superstition that newborns should not see their reflections in the mirror for at least a year because otherwise they will die soon. Casey's eyes begin to change color; a doctor asks if she is a twin, and explains the change as tetragametic chimerism and heterochromia, and that is completely normal. Her neighbor's infant dies, supporting the superstition. Casey's father admits that she had a twin brother years ago who died while he was in the womb when her umbilical cord strangled him, and whom he and Casey's mother had nicknamed "Jumby". She begins to suspect that the spirit is haunting her and that is the soul of her dead twin wanting to be born so it can enter the world of the living as evil. Casey meets Sofi Kozmaâwhom she later learns is her grandmotherâwho explains that as a child she had a twin brother who died during Nazi experiments in Auschwitz during World War II. A dybbuk brought the brother back to life to use as a portal into the world of the living. Kozma killed her twin to stop the spirit, and now it haunts her family for revenge, which is why Casey's mother became insane and committed suicide. Kozma gives Casey a hamsa amulet for protection; instructs her to destroy all mirrors and burn the shards; and refers her to Rabbi Joseph Sendak, who can perform a Jewish exorcism to remove the dybbuk out of her soul. Sendak does not believe Casey's story until he sees a dog with its head twisted upside down in his synagogue. The dybbuk kills Kozma and, soon after, Romy.

Answer: | "Shadowed Mirrors: The Unborn Revenant"
This title captures the movie's main themes of haunting reflections, spirits seeking birth or rebirth, the idea of an 'unborn' entity, and the concept of a 'revenant' or vengeful spirit. 'Shadowed Mirrors' underlines the use of mirrors as objects that play a sinister and significant role in the story. The mirrors act as pathways for the restless spirit of Jumby, Casey's dead twin. As such, the mirror carries a potent imagery of shadowy, frightening reflection, infested by spirits, hence 'Shadowed Mirrors'. 'The Unborn Revenant' adds a dark and eerie character to the title, highlighting the plotline of Casey's haunting by her unborn twin. The term 'unborn' directly resonates with Jumby, the unborn twin, and 'revenant' signifies a spirit that returns from the dead, further emphasizing the seeking of revenge or causing terror. This title generically indicates a suspenseful, chilling horror narrative revolving around revenge and haunting, positioning it well within its genre, giving a clear headsup to its potential viewers. | You are an AI assistant.

Determine the sentiment:
If you are looking for a film the portrays the pointless and boring existence of middle class lives caught in a web of non-communication and false ideals, then this is the film for you. If you also what the film to be engaging and keep your interest, then you should probably look elsewhere. There are many films that do this far better. For example, try some of the darker films by Bergman. The Filmmaker felt that in order to show the spiritual poverty of the middle class he should subject the viewer to one agonizingly dull and vacuous incident after another until the film finally comes to its tortuous and pathetic end. If you value your time there are far better ways to spend two hours, like cleaning your house, for example. | The sentiment expressed in this review is decidedly negative. This evaluation encompasses several dimensions:
1. Criticism on Storyline and Theme Representation: The reviewer indicates that the film aims to reflect the "pointless and boring existence of middle class lives caught in a web of non-communication and false ideals." However, the phrasing suggests that the reviewer not only believes the film successfully demonstrates this point, but also that they found the exploration of this theme to be tedious and unimpressive. The use of negative descriptors such as "pointless" and "boring" imply dissatisfaction.
2. Lack of Engagement: The reviewer asserts that if the potential viewer wants to find the movie engaging and interesting, they should probably look elsewhere. This statement clearly shows that the reviewer did not find the movie captivating or absorbing, reinforcing the negative sentiment.
3. Comparison and Reference to Better Options: The reviewer suggests that there are many other films that better portray the theme explored in this movie. They even recommend checking out some of the darker films by Bergman. This comparison negatively reflects on the film being reviewed and implies it's not worth the viewer's time.
4. Criticism on Pacing and Content: The reviewer states that the filmmaker subjects the viewer to a series of events described as "agonizingly dull" and "vacuous" leading to a "tortuous and pathetic end." This stark criticism presents the film as painfully slow-moving, indicating a lack of action, intrigue, or meaningful incidents that could maintain viewer interest.
5. Suggestion of Better Use of Time: In the conclusion, the reviewer advises that one's time would be better spent doing a mundane task, specifically cleaning the house, rather than watching this film. This suggests a deep dissatisfaction with the film and underscores the overall negative sentiment.
In summary, the reviewer finds the film overall disappointing and frustrating to watch due to its perceived monotony, tediousness, and its inability to engage and maintain the viewer’s interest effectively. They believe there are other movies and even daily chores that offer a more rewarding use of viewers' time. | You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task.

I’ve learnt a great amount throughout this studio, first and foremost I was taught: how the art world functions, how specific galleries such as Gertrude St Contemporary run and how artists earn a living.

I am trying to decide whether it's worth it to invest in this film proposal. Can you help me answer a few questions? If you can't, please say "No I can't". Question: To whom does Anna reveal that she is pregnant before her husband arrives? Movie title: Anna Karenina Movie plot: Anna Karenina is a young and elegant wife of Alexei Karenin, a wealthy nobleman twenty years her senior. She is unhappy and lives only for their son, Seriozha. During a ball in Moscow, she encounters the handsome Count Alexei Vronsky. Vronsky is instantly smitten and follows her to St. Petersburg, pursuing her shamelessly. Eventually, Anna surrenders to her feelings for him and becomes his mistress. Though they are happy together, their relationship soon crumbles after she miscarries his child. Karenin is deeply touched by her pain and agrees to forgive her. However, Anna remains unhappy and, to the scandal of respectable society, she openly leaves her husband for Vronsky. Using her brother as an intermediary, Anna hopelessly begs her husband for a divorce. Karenin, under the poisonous influence of her friend the Countess Lydia Ivanovna, indignantly refuses to divorce and denies Anna any access to Seriozha. Distraught by the loss of her son, Anna grows severely depressed and self-medicates with laudanum. Before long, she is hopelessly addicted. With Vronsky she has another child, but he is also torn between his love to Anna and the temptation of a respectable marriage in the eyes of society.

Question: To whom does Anna reveal that she is pregnant before her husband arrives? Movie title: Anna Karenina Movie plot: Anna Karenina is a young and elegant wife of Alexei Karenin, a wealthy nobleman twenty years her senior. She is unhappy and lives only for their son, Seriozha. During a ball in Moscow, she encounters the handsome Count Alexei Vronsky. Vronsky is instantly smitten and follows her to St. Petersburg, pursuing her shamelessly. Eventually, Anna surrenders to her feelings for him and becomes his mistress. Though they are happy together, their relationship soon crumbles after she miscarries his child. Karenin is deeply touched by her pain and agrees to forgive her. However, Anna remains unhappy and, to the scandal of respectable society, she openly leaves her husband for Vronsky. Using her brother as an intermediary, Anna hopelessly begs her husband for a divorce. Karenin, under the poisonous influence of her friend the Countess Lydia Ivanovna, indignantly refuses to divorce and denies Anna any access to Seriozha. Distraught by the loss of her son, Anna grows severely depressed and self-medicates with laudanum. Before long, she is hopelessly addicted. With Vronsky she has another child, but he is also torn between his love to Anna and the temptation of a respectable marriage in the eyes of society. Anna becomes certain that Vronsky is about to leave her and marry a younger woman. She travels to the railway station and commits suicide by jumping in front of a train.

While there she meets Cort, a former Herod henchman turned preacher whom Herod has captured and forced to enter the contest. During her first night in town, The Lady saves Cort's life by shooting the rope Herod's men had hanged Cort from. She also meets "The Kid", a brash young man who runs the general store and who hopes to impress Herod. The Kid believes Herod is his father and that he can earn his father's respect by entering and winning the contest. In the first round of duels The Kid defeats a Swedish quick-draw champion while Herod kills a braggart named Ace Hanlon, who had taken credit for some of Herod's own accomplishments. The Lady defeats an enemy she had previously left shackled to a wagon. Cort, who has renounced violence and doesn't have a weapon, is taken to the general store. Herod buys Cort a gun and decrees that Cort (an exceptionally skilled gunfighter) can only have one bullet at a time so that he doesn't shoot his way out of town. Despite telling everyone he wouldn't fight, Cort winds up drawing his gun and winning his first round fight. During a rainstorm Herod meets with Clay Cantrell, a professional gunfighter hired by the townspeople to kill Herod. Before they duel, Herod changes the rules and proclaims that all contests are now to the death.

In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boy's patents had told him that the old man was now bad luck, and ordered the boy to join another boat, which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty and he always went down to help him carry in the fishing lines or take down the old, patched sail. "Santiago," the boy said to him as they dragged up the boat to the sand. "I could go with you again. I've made some money." the old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him. "No," the old man said. "You're with a lucky boat. Stay with them. You must obey your father." "We can be lucky again too.

The NTC is trying to minimize revenge killings, a Libyan dissident says. Libya's rebel government: It will take 18 to 20 months to create a political framework. Several entities will have influence in a post-Gadhafi world, an analyst says. The council's chairman recently dismissed the rebels' executive board.
Write an article based on these highlights. | Title: **Libya's New Government and the Importance of Peace**
Hello, little friends! Today, we are going to talk about a country called Libya. A long time ago, there was a man named Gadhafi who was the leader of Libya, but people didn't like him very much because he didn't take good care of them. So, some people called "rebels" decided to try and make their country a better place by creating a new government.
Now, creating a new government is not easy, and it takes some time. The rebels have a special group called the NTC (which stands for National Transitional Council) to help them build a better government for the people of Libya. They are saying that it might take 18 to 20 months to make everything work well.
One of the most important things the NTC wants to do is to make sure people are not fighting each other and that everyone can live in peace. Sometimes, when there is a big change in a country, people can get very angry and try to hurt others. This is called "revenge killing," and it's not a good thing. The NTC wants to make sure this doesn't happen in Libya.
There will be many different groups and people who will have a say in how the new Libya should be run. We call them "entities," and they will all have an important job in helping to create the new government. They will work together so that everyone feels happy and safe in their country.
Not long ago, the person who was in charge of the rebel's special group called the "executive board" was told that he didn't need to do that job anymore. The leader of the NTC, who has a very big role in making decisions, said that it was time for someone else to do the job. This is because they want to make sure that the new government is the best it can be for the people of Libya.
So, my dear little friends, that's the story of what's happening in Libya right now. The people there are trying to make their country a better place by building a new government and making sure everyone is safe and happy. It's a big job, and it will take some time, but hopefully, everything will work out well for them in the end. | You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation.

Answer: | Hermann Oppenheim (1 January 1858 – 5 May 1919) was a prominent German neurologist. He studied medicine at the Universities of Berlin, Göttingen, and Bonn and began his career at the Charité-Hospital in Berlin as an assistant to Karl Westphal (1833-1890). In 1891, Oppenheim opened a successful private hospital in Berlin.
Oppenheim authored a seminal textbook on nervous diseases in 1894, titled "Lehrbuch der Nervenkrankheiten für Ärzte und Studierende," which became a standard in the field of neurology. The book was published in multiple editions and languages and is considered one of the best neurology textbooks ever written. He contributed significantly to the understanding of various neurological disorders such as tabes dorsalis, alcoholism, anterior poliomyelitis, syphilis, multiple sclerosis, and traumatic neurosis.
In the field of physiology, Oppenheim published articles on urea metabolism in collaboration with Nathan Zuntz (1847-1920). His 1889 treatise on traumatic neuroses was met with criticism from renowned physicians Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893) and Max Nonne (1861-1959), as he asserted that psychological trauma caused organic changes leading to psychic neuroses.
Oppenheim's expertise in brain diseases contributed to the first successful removal of a brain tumor, an operation performed by a physician named R. Köhler. Along with surgeon Fedor Krause (1857-1937), he reported the first successful removal of a pineal tumor.
He also coined the term "dystonia musculorum deformans" for a childhood torsion disease he described, which later became known as "Ziehen-Oppenheim syndrome" (named in conjunction with German psychiatrist Theodor Ziehen, 1862-1950). Additionally, amyotonia congenita is also known as "Oppenheim's disease" in his honor. | You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task.

I can use this background: Greenhouse Effect: The solar energy reaching the surface of the Earth is concentrated in short wavelengths, which can easily penetrate the greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane. The Earth, however, is cooler than the sun and it radiates its heat in the form of energy in the far infrared range. These longer wavelengths are partially absorbed by the greenhouse gases and some of the solar heat is returned to Earth. At a certain temperature these processes are in equilibrium and the surface temperature of the Earth is stable. However, if more greenhouse gases are put in the atmosphere the amount of trapped terrestrial radiation increases, leading to an increase in global temperature. Now, I have a new situation: David was visiting the natural history museum. He noticed two charts that showed the climatic conditions of the earth in two time periods, time A and time B. Time A showed earth's overall climate in the sixteenth century when there were less greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. And time B showed earth's overall climate in the present century with more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. David found some interesting differences between these two charts. Answer this question please: Which period would see more trapped terrestrial radiation, time A or time B?
Answer: | Time B would see more trapped terrestrial radiation.
Step 1: Understand the given background on the greenhouse effect.
The greenhouse effect explains how solar energy easily penetrates greenhouse gases in short wavelengths, while Earth, being cooler, radiates heat in far infrared range (longer wavelengths). Greenhouse gases partially absorb the longer wavelengths, trapping some solar heat and returning it to Earth, which impacts global temperature.
Step 2: Analyze the provided information about the two time periods.
Time A reflects the sixteenth century with less greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Time B reflects the present century with more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Step 3: Apply the greenhouse effect concept to the two time periods.
In Time A, fewer greenhouse gases were present in the atmosphere, which means less heat would be trapped in the form of terrestrial radiation. In Time B, the higher concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere would lead to more terrestrial radiation being trapped and absorbed.
Step 4: Conclude which period sees more trapped terrestrial radiation.
Since Time B has more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, it would see more trapped terrestrial radiation as compared to Time A. | You are an AI assistant. User will you give you a task.

I have a new situation: Deep lake presents geothermal activity, while Shallow lake has mixing of saline water with fresh water. Deep lake had more instances of divers having problems because of thermoclines. But I can use this background: Thermoclines, or sudden changes in temperature. Where the air temperature is higher than the water temperature, shallow water may be warmed by the air and the sunlight but deeper water remains cold resulting in a lowering of temperature as the diver descends. This temperature change may be concentrated over a small vertical interval, when it is called a thermocline.[3][4] Where cold, fresh water enters a warmer sea the fresh water may float over the denser saline water, so the temperature rises as the diver descends.[3] In lakes exposed to geothermal activity, the temperature of the deeper water may be warmer than the surface water. This will usually lead to convection currents.[3] What is an answer for this question: Which lake has warmer water the bottom?
A: | Based on the given information and background, Deep Lake has warmer water at the bottom due to its geothermal activity.
In the context of the two lakes, Deep Lake exhibits geothermal activity, which means it is influenced by the Earth's internal heat. This heat rises towards the surface and, in the case of Deep Lake, the temperature of the deeper water may be warmer than the surface water. This causes convection currents, as the warmer, less dense water rises and the cooler, denser water sinks, creating a continuous cycle.
On the other hand, Shallow Lake has a mix of saline water with fresh water. While temperature variations can occur in this lake due to the different densities and solubilities of saline and fresh water, it is not mentioned that Shallow Lake has any source of geothermal activity like Deep Lake. This means that its deep water's temperatures will be influenced more by the surrounding environmental factors, and not by heat from within the Earth, which is the case in Deep Lake.
In conclusion, Deep Lake has warmer water at the bottom due to the geothermal activity it experiences. This heat, originating from the Earth's interior, progressively warms the deeper waters of the lake and creates distinct thermoclines that divers experience when they descend through the water column. Meanwhile, Shallow Lake's water temperature is more influenced by the mixing of saline and fresh water, without a specific indication of geothermal activity making its deep water warmer compared to Deep Lake. | You are an AI assistant.

A Slew of Staph Infections Tackles the NFL
The NFL is learning the hard way that a microscopic foe can be much more imposing than a 300-pound lineman, as a sudden slew of staph infections has sacked several players in the game.
Early this week, Cleveland Browns tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. revealed that staph (short for Staphylococcus) infection had sent him to the Cleveland Clinic for three days, and he accused the Browns of asking him to cover it up. Pro football teams are notoriously reluctant to reveal any information on player injuries, but since six different Browns have caught the bug since 2005 Winslow has had it twice the team's medical management looked suspect to some observers. "There's obviously a problem [with staph] and we have to fix it," Winslow told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "Just look at the history around here. It's unfortunate, because it happens time and time again." The Browns, who denied that they had kept the news of his infection from his teammates, suspended Winslow one game for his rant, which included his claim that he felt like he had been treated like "a piece of meat."
But the Winslow medical controversy wasn't even the worst of it for the league. In the past week, it has become clear that two of its most marketable stars, marquee quarterbacks Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, had gotten infections. The New England Patriots' Brady has had at least two additional infection-related procedures since his initial season-ending knee surgery in September. It's now possible that his knee will have to undergo another operation, which could delay his return until 2010. Staph seems to be the likely culprit, but neither Brady nor the Patriots will confirm that. During training camp staph infected a bursa sac, which acts as a cushion between bones, in Manning's left knee. The infection required surgery and forced him to miss most of the preseason. Though the Colts released a statement on Friday insisting Manning didn't contract a more perilous staph, the anti-biotic resistant strain known as MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), the incidents should alarm the NFL. "The NFL, and all the leagues, should be diligent, and not let their guards down," says Dr. Robert Gotlin, director of Orthopedic and Sports Rehabilitation at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City. "They've got to do better. It's got to be one of the top five priorities."
The recent cases have certainly gotten players' attention. "I'm concerned, and wondering why it's happening. It's not some little infection that goes away in a few days, it's pretty serious," says Chicago Bears rookie running back Matt Forte. The league is quick to point out that it has partnered with teams to educate players about the bacteria, while the players' union insists it's alarmed and has contacted the league about further action. Some teams, like the Colts, have posted pictures on training room walls that warn players about staph symptoms and how to avoid contracting or spreading it. For their part, the Browns note that the team has previously used a special anti-staph agent to disinfect the locker room, weight room and other places where players gather.
Staph, of course, is far from just an NFL problem. Two college teams, the '05 Florida Gators and the '03 USC Trojans, had multiple cases. And football is by no means the only sports victim. The infection kept Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Alex Rios out of the 2006 All-Star Game. A few days later another Toronto player caught it, and the clubhouse was disinfected. NBA players Paul Pierce, Grant Hill and Drew Gooden have had it. Staph killed a high school wrestler in California this summer, and last spring 15 students at a Pennsylvania high school were either treated for staph or symptoms caused by the virus.
What exactly are staph infections? Staph is bacteria carried on the skin, which can enter the body through a cut or during a medical procedure, causing the infection. Most are minor, but certain strains are particularly resistant to anti-biotics and can cause athletes to miss significant playing time. Athletes are more likely to suffer cuts, and the locker room setting bunches players close to one another in a warm, damp environment, so they are especially susceptible to spreading the bacteria. Since football teams carry some 55 players on their rosters, and tend to have a higher degree of serious injuries to deal with, they are at particular risk. According to a 2005 survey by the NFL Team Physicians Society, 13 out of 30 teams that responded had had a player contract MRSA in recent years, for a total of 60 leaguewide infections.
Though Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Omar Gaither rightly points out that "we're just a naturally dirty sport," there are several basic precautions athletes can take to lower the chance of catching an infection. Many athletes shave their ankles, legs, and arms because they don't want athletic tape ripping hair off their bodies, but experts say they should lose the razor. "No matter how careful the shaving is, you can have nicks and microscopic cuts in the skin," says Dr. Daniel Sexton, an infectious disease specialist at the Duke University Medical Center, who consults for an NFL team and several college programs. "Any time you break that barrier, it becomes a portal through which bacteria can gain access." Staph prevention is pretty low-tech. "You know, this is pretty simple," Sexton says. "Hand washing remains the primary defense against the transmissions of most organisms, including staph. Most people don't think of a locker room as a place where hand hygiene is important, but locker rooms are also mini-emergency rooms."
In 2003, a team of researchers tracked the St. Louis Rams and found five players who caught eight MRSA infections. "We observed a lack of regular access to hand hygiene (i.e., soap and water or alcohol-based hand gels) for trainers who provided wound care," they wrote in The New England Journal of Medicine. Other offenses included "skipping of showers by players before the use of communal whirlpools; and sharing or towels all factors that might facilitate the transmission of infection in this setting."
In short: use a little common sense, tough guys. But when it comes to infectious germs, even a 245-lb. bruiser like Gaither believes you can't always outrun them. "You can't worry about it to death," he says. "It's not like you can walk around and put gloves on your hand every 10 seconds. Sometimes, there's just not that much you can do." Except hope that these recent cases are a coincidental hiccup, and not an epidemic that seriously tackles the NFL.
(See pictures of the week here.)
What was this article about? | This article discusses the issue of staph infections becoming a growing concern in the NFL. Several players, including Cleveland Browns' tight end Kellen Winslow Jr., New England Patriots' Tom Brady, and Indianapolis Colts' Peyton Manning, have contracted infections due to Staphylococcus (staph) bacteria in recent years. The article highlights the possible reasons behind the spread of these infections, such as the warm, damp environment of locker rooms, large team rosters allowing for easier transmission, and athletes being more susceptible to cuts and infection entry points. Precautions and preventive measures are also discussed, emphasizing the importance of hand hygiene and not sharing towels or other personal items. The concern extends beyond the NFL, as staph infections have also plagued college football teams and athletes in other sports. The article calls for improved preventive strategies and education about staph infections in the league to protect players and prevent a potential epidemic affecting the NFL. | You are an AI assistant.

Athletes are more likely to suffer cuts, and the locker room setting bunches players close to one another in a warm, damp environment, so they are especially susceptible to spreading the bacteria. Since football teams carry some 55 players on their rosters, and tend to have a higher degree of serious injuries to deal with, they are at particular risk. According to a 2005 survey by the NFL Team Physicians Society, 13 out of 30 teams that responded had had a player contract MRSA in recent years, for a total of 60 leaguewide infections.
Though Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Omar Gaither rightly points out that "we're just a naturally dirty sport," there are several basic precautions athletes can take to lower the chance of catching an infection. Many athletes shave their ankles, legs, and arms because they don't want athletic tape ripping hair off their bodies, but experts say they should lose the razor. "No matter how careful the shaving is, you can have nicks and microscopic cuts in the skin," says Dr. Daniel Sexton, an infectious disease specialist at the Duke University Medical Center, who consults for an NFL team and several college programs. "Any time you break that barrier, it becomes a portal through which bacteria can gain access." Staph prevention is pretty low-tech. "You know, this is pretty simple," Sexton says. "Hand washing remains the primary defense against the transmissions of most organisms, including staph. Most people don't think of a locker room as a place where hand hygiene is important, but locker rooms are also mini-emergency rooms."
In 2003, a team of researchers tracked the St. Louis Rams and found five players who caught eight MRSA infections. "We observed a lack of regular access to hand hygiene (i.e., soap and water or alcohol-based hand gels) for trainers who provided wound care," they wrote in The New England Journal of Medicine. Other offenses included "skipping of showers by players before the use of communal whirlpools; and sharing or towels all factors that might facilitate the transmission of infection in this setting."
In short: use a little common sense, tough guys. But when it comes to infectious germs, even a 245-lb. bruiser like Gaither believes you can't always outrun them. "You can't worry about it to death," he says. "It's not like you can walk around and put gloves on your hand every 10 seconds. Sometimes, there's just not that much you can do." Except hope that these recent cases are a coincidental hiccup, and not an epidemic that seriously tackles the NFL.

What was this article about? [/INST] This article discusses the issue of staph infections becoming a growing concern in the NFL. Several players, including Cleveland Browns' tight end Kellen Winslow Jr., New England Patriots' Tom Brady, and Indianapolis Colts' Peyton Manning, have contracted infections due to Staphylococcus (staph) bacteria in recent years. The article highlights the possible reasons behind the spread of these infections, such as the warm, damp environment of locker rooms, large team rosters allowing for easier transmission, and athletes being more susceptible to cuts and infection entry points. Precautions and preventive measures are also discussed, emphasizing the importance of hand hygiene and not sharing towels or other personal items. The concern extends beyond the NFL, as staph infections have also plagued college football teams and athletes in other sports. The article calls for improved preventive strategies and education about staph infections in the league to protect players and prevent a potential epidemic affecting the NFL. </s><s>[INST] | 7,904 |

WASHINGTON — With Vice President Mike Pence casting a tie-breaking vote, Republicans moved forward on health care reform Tuesday as the Senate successfully opened debate on the issue. But just six hours later, Republicans faced their first defeat in that process, failing to pass a measure that they've been working on that would have partially repealed and replaced Obamacare.
The vote earlier in the day was a major victory for Republicans, who have struggled to find 50 votes to get this far, but the final product is likely to fall far short of the Republicans' seven-year promise to get rid of the Affordable Care Act. It took the likelihood of a slimmed-down final bill in order to get enough "yes" votes to just open debate.
President Donald Trump celebrated the Senate's vote Tuesday night in Youngstown, Ohio, saying at a rally that America is now "one step closer to liberating our citizens from this Obamacare nightmare."
"Finally," he said to a crowd of thousands of supporters at the campaign-style event. "You think that's easy? That's not easy."
While the president told his fans that he hoped that "obstructionists, meaning Democrats" would "finally do what's right" and join efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare, Trump predicted that Republicans will likely have to go it alone — as they did Tuesday. "Today we won 51 to 50 and didn't get a single Democrat vote," he said. "Think of that."
But later in the evening, the Senate took its first substantive vote on a beefed-up version of the Better Care Reconciliation Act, a measure that would partially repeal and replace Obamacare. That vote failed to garner the requisite 60 votes necessary and put an end for the time being of a large comprehensive health care bill.
Earlier in Washington, momentum built over the course of the day as several previously skeptical members announced their support after Senate GOP leaders began detailing plans for more votes over the next days to shape the specifics of the legislation.
In a dramatic moment that allowed for the vote's passage, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who was recently diagnosed with brain cancer, returned to the Senate from Arizona to cast a key vote. Pence broke the tie after two Republicans — Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska — and all the Democrats voted against it. But first more than a dozen protesters in the gallery interrupted the Senate's proceedings, chanting, "Kill the bill; don't kill us."
Speaking at the White House just minutes after the vote, President Donald Trump thanked Senate Republicans, saying, "now we move forward with truly great health care for the American people, we look forward to that. This was a big step."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said before the vote that it was "a critical first step."
"We can’t let this moment slip by. We’ve talked about this too long," McConnell added.
Now that the the Senate has opened up debate, the next few days will consist of debate and votes on perhaps dozens of amendments.
The final product is unknown but is likely to end up as what's being called a “skinny” repeal that disposes of just a few components of Obamacare.
The first vote was on the Better Care Reconciliation Act, with an amendment from Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, that would provide for the sale of catastrophic insurance plans that are less expensive and provide less protection than allowed under Obamacare. The bill also included an amendment by Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, that would add $100 billion in additional spending to help low-income people pay for premiums and co-pays, especially those who might lose Medicaid coverage due to cuts to the program.
But the BCRA amendment needed 60 votes because neither the Cruz nor the Portman provisions have been scored by the Congressional Budget Office, leaving no clear indication of how much they would cost or how many people they would affect. That means it cannot pass under special reconciliation rules allowing a simple majority approval. It fell far short with nine Republicans and all Democrats voting against it.
One of the next votes, likely Wednesday, will be on a version of the Obamacare repeal bill that passed the Senate and the House in 2015 but was vetoed by President Barack Obama.
The plan after those two votes is for senators to proceed to votes on a series of amendments to create the “skinny” repeal, which is a watered-down version of repeal with nothing to replace it.
The goal would be to eliminate Obamacare's individual mandate penalty, the employer mandate penalty, and the tax on medical devices —items that Senate leaders think might be able to get 50 votes. A broader repeal would also have ended Medicaid's expansion, get rid of or replace the Obamacare subsidies that help people purchase insurance and repeal more — or all — of Obamacare's taxes.
The Senate would then go to conference with the House of Representatives, where conferees would work out a final bill. Both chambers would then have to vote on the reconciled bill.
"The proposal Leader McConnell made is nothing more than a ruse," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on the Senate floor. "We’re going to do everything we can in this chamber, and the so many groups outside the chamber, to make sure that this does not pass the Senate at the end of the day."
While the plan is is unlikely to result in a full repeal or replace, the scaled-down ambition was enough for senators who have been critical throughout the process to vote "yes" on today's motion to open up debate.
"It's just time to have debate," said Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., who had earlier said he would not vote to debate the Senate bill. "So let's have the debate. Move forward. Let's get it out of the backrooms. Let's get it out on the Senate floor. And let's move forward." He did not indicate how he'd vote on the various measures that will come up in the days to come.
The dramatic return of McCain — who received a standing ovation on the Senate floor — helped give GOP leaders not only a crucial vote but a morale boost for the GOP conference.
While passage of the motion to proceed had been in doubt for weeks, the momentum began to shift Tuesday morning. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., announced in a series of tweets that he supports this plan and would vote "yes" on the motion, saying he was satisfied after being promised a vote on a near-full repeal and that the repeal-and-replace plan will likely fail.
A handful of other GOP senators who had also been skeptical of the Senate bill came on board to move ahead, including Sens. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.V., Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Jerry Moran, R-Kan.
But there was some last-minute drama that led people to question if the vote would really pass, provided by Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., who has been highly critical of the process and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Nearly 25 minutes after the vote began, Johnson walked onto the floor, didn't vote, and proceeded to get into a heated discussion with McConnell that lasted five minutes. Johnson and McCain had not yet voted when the Arizona senator walked on the floor and cast his vote. Then Johnson voted "yes," giving Republicans their 50th vote.
Over the last two days, Trump finally engaged fully on health care, using his bully pulpit and his Twitter account to pressure — and shame — Republicans into voting for the bill.
Democrats are working to defeat the bill, holding rallies, including one on the Capitol steps after Tuesday's vote. They are also meeting and hosting people, including children who depend on coverage they've received under Obamacare, to lobby against repeal.

WASHINGTON—Senate Republicans overcame a range of internal fissures in narrowly voting on Tuesday to begin debate on their health-care overhaul, but the party suffered a setback hours later when a proposal replacing major portions of the Affordable Care Act failed to attract enough votes to pass.

WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain returned to the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday afternoon to cast a critical vote in favor of health care legislation less than a week after undergoing surgery and revealing he has brain cancer.
And then, in typical McCain fashion, he took to the floor and blasted both the Senate's draft health care bill and the process that produced it.
"All we’ve managed to do is make more popular a policy that wasn’t very popular when we started trying to get rid of it," he said of Obamacare.
McCain’s vote was pivotal as Republicans, who hold a 52-seat majority, scrambled to round up 50 votes on a motion to advance legislation to repeal Obamacare.
McCain did not announce in advance whether he would support Tuesday’s “motion to proceed,” but he marched onto the floor to a standing ovation from his colleagues and voted "aye." Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska voted no, requiring Vice President Pence to cast the tie-breaking vote in favor.
But that was only a vote to begin debate. "I will not vote for this bill as it is today," McCain said, and if it fails, "which seems likely," the Senate should go back to the drawing board, with hearings, markups and consultation with Democrats — all things that have thus far been lacking.
Standing in the well of the Senate with the surgical scar over his left eyebrow clearly visible, McCain urged his colleagues to "stop listening to the bombastic loudmouths" on radio, television and the Internet who rail against compromise. "To hell with them!" McCain said.
Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, were seen smiling during McCain's speech as he railed against Republicans crafting legislation behind closed doors and trying to convince skeptical members that it's better than nothing.
“Let’s trust each other," McCain said. "We’ve been spinning our wheels on too many important issues because we keep trying to find a way to win without help from across the aisle."

McCain left the Capitol with his wife, Cindy, after his speech, canceling a scheduled news conference.
His announcement Monday that he would return for the vote added momentum to Republican efforts in the Senate following House Republicans’ passage of their bill in May.
“We all know Sen. McCain is a fighter,” said Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky during a Senate floor speech Tuesday. “That’s evidenced by his remarkable life of public service, just as it’s again evidenced by his quick return to the Senate this afternoon.”

McCain, 80, a decorated Vietnam War veteran and six-term senator, is battling glioblastoma, an aggressive type of brain cancer that is difficult to treat. The cancer was discovered during surgery to treat a blood clot above his eye. He is reviewing treatment options, which may include chemotherapy and radiation, with his care team at the Mayo Clinic.
On the Senate floor, he hugged his colleagues and joked about his well-wishers.
"I’ve had so many people say such nice things about me recently that I think some of you must have me confused with someone else," he said.
President Trump, who has criticized McCain in the past, tweeted his thanks early Tuesday morning and then again after the vote.
".@SenJohnMcCain-Thank you for coming to D.C. for such a vital vote. Congrats to all Rep. We can now deliver grt healthcare to all Americans!" he wrote.

Others blasted McCain on Twitter for leaving taxpayer-supported treatment to help pass legislation that —according to a Congressional Budget Office analysis — would lead to more than 20 million fewer people having insurance by 2026.
“After brain surgery paid for by taxpayers,@SenJohnMcCain will vote to take away healthcare from 22 million Americans,” tweeted Jon Cooper, chairman of the Democratic Coalition, which describes itself as an anti-Trump organization.

McCain, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he will stay in D.C. "for a few days" and plans to return to work on the National Defense Authorization Act, among other issues.
“After that, I’m going home for a while to treat my illness," he said. "I have every intention of returning here and giving many of you cause to regret all the nice things you said about me."

Corker: I couldn't support a bill without a CBO score
11:00 p.m.
"I have no idea how it would play out and affect people across our country. I just don't know those things," he said.
The CBO couldn't score both the Portman and Cruz amendments in time for the Tuesday night vote.
Cruz says his amendment will end up in final version of healthcare bill
10:25 p.m.
"I believe we will see the Consumer Freedom Amendment in the legislation that is ultimately enacted," he said.
The amendment would essentially allow insurers to sell plans that don't comply with ObamaCare regulations, as long as it also sold plans that did.
The amendment was added to BCRA, which failed on the floor Tuesday night, but it could potentially be added to a bill when the House and Senate go to conference.
Portman touts stability funds amendment

Sen. Rob Portman Robert (Rob) Jones PortmanSenate panel spars with Trump administration over treatment of unaccompanied immigrant children Senate study: Trump hasn’t provided adequate support to detained migrant children Senators introduce bill to change process to levy national security tariffs MORE (R-Ohio) touted his new amendment to the GOP's health bill on the Senate floor Tuesday night, though it is unlikely to get the 60 votes needed to pass.
The amendment, just added to the bill Tuesday night, would add $100 billion to the bill's state stability fund to help people who might lose the coverage they got under ObamaCare's Medicaid expansion. These funds could help cover out-of-pocket costs like deductibles and copays.
Portman said he "worked with the president, vice president and administrative officials" to "improve this bill further to help out low-income Ohioans."
Portman was a holdout on the GOP's replacement bill, but indicated that his amendment moved him to "yes" on a crucial procedural vote on healthcare Tuesday afternoon.
The GOP's proposal repealing and replacing ObamaCare – being offered as an amendment to a bill currently being debated by the Senate – will likely need 60 votes, meaning it is unlikely to pass.
That's because the proposal includes two amendments, including Portman's, that have not yet been analyzed by the Congressional Budget Office, a requirement for the budgetary process Republicans are using to try to pass their healthcare bill.
Senate ObamaCare repeal, replace plan expected to need 60 votes
6:34 p.m.
A proposal repealing and replacing ObamaCare—being offered as an amendment to a bill currently being debate by the Senate—will likely need 60 votes, almost guaranteeing that it won't be able to pass.
Senate Republicans brought up their their repeal and replace proposal, known as the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA), after voting early Tuesday to proceed to the House-passed healthcare bill.
The amendment will also include Sen. Ted Cruz's (Texas) proposal to give insurance companies more flexibility on what kinds of health insurance plans it offers, and a Medicaid proposal from Sen. Rob Portman (Ohio).
Because the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has analyzed neither the Cruz nor Portman proposals, the entire repeal-and-replace amendment may be required to meet a 60-vote threshold, according to guidance from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Addison (Mitch) Mitchell McConnellOvernight Defense: Trump nixes Pompeo's North Korea trip | McCain gets outpouring of support | Erik Prince pushes Afghanistan plan Lawmakers offer support for McCain after he discontinues cancer treatment McCain ending brain cancer treatment MORE's (R-Ky.) office.

Democrats forced the Senate clerk to read the entirety of an amendment that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) wanted to bring up on the healthcare bill.

McConnell called up the first amendment to the bill, which was the 2015 repeal bill. He's expected to attach the Senate's repeal and replacement bill, along with amendments from GOP Sens. Rob Portman (Ohio) and Ted Cruz (Texas) to that as a second-degree amendment.
Under Senate procedure, the chamber will vote first on the repeal and replace bill, before turning to repeal-only.

"This was a big step. I want to thank Senator John McCain. Very brave man. He made a tough trip to get here and vote. So we want to thank Senator McCain and all of the Republicans," Trump said.
" We passed it without one Democrat vote. And that's a shame, but that's the way it is. And it's very unfortunate. But I want to congratulate American people, because we're going give you great health care. And we're going to get rid of Obamacare, which should have been, frankly, terminated long ago. It's been a disaster for the American people."
Trump's Twitter account sent out a similar message, and the White House also released a statement from the president.

Heller to vote yes to begin healthcare debate
2:15 p.m.
Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) on Tuesday will vote to begin the healthcare debate.
Heller, who is seen as the most vulnerable Senate Republican incumbent in 2018, announced in a statement that he will vote to advance healthcare legislation, even though he warned last month that he opposed a motion to proceed to the Senate version of the healthcare bill because it would leave tens of millions more people uninsured.
Heller argued that blocking a debate would leave the Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare, as the status quo.
He was one of a handful of Republican senators considered most likely to block a debate on healthcare legislation and send Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) back to the drawing board.

Up next would be a vote to repeal and replace ObamaCare, he said.
"Then it's going to be open to see what happens. I think people are predicting we may be able to get a more 'skinny' repeal that involves some things we can find consensus."
Paul has been staunchly opposed to the Senate's repeal-and-replace bill.
The bulk of the Senate GOP conference is still at lunch.
Portman to back motion to proceed
2:01 p.m.
Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) will vote in favor of the key procedural motion to effectively start debate in the Senate on ObamaCare legislation, according to the Columbus Dispatch.
The Dispatch quoted a source close to Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican who has opposed various Senate ObamaCare repeal-and-replace measures. The source said Portman had called Kasich to tell him the news.
Portman has long been seen as a key swing vote, and his support for the measure will make it more difficult for other centrists on the fence to vote "no."
Collins: 'Skinny' GOP health plan not adequate
1:35 p.m.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a key moderate, voiced concern over the slimmed-down Senate GOP plan going into the GOP policy lunch.
Collins said she had not heard about the so-called skinny ObamaCare repeal plan until a reporter asked about.
“I would look forward to hearing more details about that at lunch,” she said, as Senate Republicans gathered to discuss healthcare strategy ahead of this afternoon’s vote.
Schumer knocks Rand Paul over support for key procedural vote
1:35 p.m.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) knocked Sen. Rand Paul after the Kentucky Republican signaled he would vote to start the healthcare debate.
"It’s true that he will likely get a vote on an amendment to do repeal without replace — but surely he knows that vote will fail. Why, then, would the junior Senator from Kentucky ... vote on the motion to proceed knowing that he won’t get what he wants?" Schumer asked.
Schumer added that he thinks Paul is going along with GOP leadership because if the Senate goes to conference with the House to merge their proposals, "the likeliest compromise in conference is full repeal of the Affordable Care Act or something close to it."
Paul said on Twitter earlier on Tuesday that the Senate will take up the 2015 ObamaCare repeal bill if they can get the 50 votes needed to start debate on the House-passed healthcare measure.
GOP senator: 'Skinny' repeal 'rather unsatisfying'
1:22 p.m.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said a proposed "skinny repeal" of ObamaCare would be "rather unsatisfying from my standpoint."
Johnson said that GOP leaders haven't yet told him what such a repeal would look like.
The conservative senator has been a frequent critic of the hurried process used to try to pass ObamaCare repeal and the limited info from leaders.
"You have to start with information. In this alternate universe, information is the last step in the process, including, I guess, right now, what we’re actually going to vote on, which is a little hard to believe," Johnson told reporters.
When asked if pared-down repeal would be better than nothing, Johnson didn't respond, but shook his head.
'Skinny' bill would delay repeal of ObamaCare mandates
1:10 p.m.
Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) said the "skinny bill" would delay the repeal of the individual and employer mandates for two years.
He said he would support the skinny bill in order to "get to the next step."

Chamber of Commerce urges yes vote to debate
12:55 p.m.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday urged senators to vote in favor of the motion to begin debate on healthcare legislation, saying that it will consider including the vote in its annual scorecard.
"While good faith negotiations continue, remaining issues can be dealt with on the Senate Floor through the debate and amendment process," Jack Howard, senior vice president of congressional and public affairs at the Chamber, said in a letter to senators.
Heritage Action and Americans for Tax Reform have also called on lawmakers to vote yes on the motion.
McConnell pitches colleagues on beginning repeal debate
12:21 p.m.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is urging his caucus to vote to start debate on repealing and replacing ObamaCare, a few hours before a key procedural hurdle.
"Any senator who votes against starting debate is telling America that you're just fine with the ObamaCare nightmare," he said.
McConnell will need at least 50 GOP senators to vote "yes" on taking up the House bill, which is being used as a vehicle for any Senate action.
He got a late boost of momentum after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) signaled he would vote "yes," on the heels of news that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is returning to the Senate in time for the Tuesday afternoon vote.

When asked if it was possible to move to a "skinny" repeal bill, Cornyn said, "I think we can do that."
He reiterated that if the Senate can pass a bill, it can go to conference with the House to hammer out the details.
Paul a 'yes' on key healthcare vote
12:08 p.m.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Tuesday that he will support a motion to proceed to debate on healthcare later in the day.
Paul tweeted that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told him the upper chamber would take up the 2015 ObamaCare repeal bill previously passed by Congress.
“If this is indeed the plan, I will vote to proceed and I will vote for any all measures that are clean repeal,” Paul said
Paul has pushed for a vote on the 2015 bill, which repeals large parts of ObamaCare's requirements and regulations, instead of the GOP repeal-and-replace plan that Republicans have been working on this year.
If that measure can't get the 60 votes it needs, which is unlikely, Paul said he would support "whatever version of CLEAN repeal we can pass."
McCain returning to the Senate this afternoon
12:06 p.m.
Sen. John McCain will return to the Senate about 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday, according to the Arizona Republican's office.
McCain, whose office announced last week he had been diagnosed with brain cancer, is returning in time to vote on taking up the House-passed healthcare bill in the upper chamber.
His office said McCain will speak on the Senate floor after the vote for first remarks since returning to Capitol Hill, and then speak with reporters off the Senate floor.
Senators prepare for dramatic vote
11:35 a.m.
Senate Republicans are preparing to take a dramatic procedural vote on Tuesday that could make or break their ObamaCare repeal effort.
It’s unclear if Republicans will have the 50 votes they need to clear a first procedural hurdle, though they are pulling out all the stops to do so.
ADVERTISEMENT
The vote on a motion to proceed to the House ObamaCare repeal-and-replace measure is expected sometime Tuesday afternoon, but it hasn’t been scheduled.
The latest Senate GOP effort to get a bill through the Senate is the proposal of a “skinny” repeal bill that would end ObamaCare’s mandates and the medical device tax.
The hope is that this measure might win 50 votes from Republican senators who have been divided on healthcare.
GOP leaders have kept members mostly in the dark about what they will ultimately be voting on: a full repeal of ObamaCare with a two-year delay to find a replacement; the Better Care Reconciliation Act, which would make dramatic changes to Medicaid in addition to repealing large parts of the law; or the “skinny repeal.”

WASHINGTON — With Vice President Mike Pence casting a tie-breaking vote, Republicans moved forward on health care reform Tuesday as the Senate successfully opened debate on the issue. But just six hours later, Republicans faced their first defeat in that process, failing to pass a measure that they've been working on that would have partially repealed and replaced Obamacare.
The vote earlier in the day was a major victory for Republicans, who have struggled to find 50 votes to get this far, but the final product is likely to fall far short of the Republicans' seven-year promise to get rid of the Affordable Care Act. It took the likelihood of a slimmed-down final bill in order to get enough "yes" votes to just open debate.
President Donald Trump celebrated the Senate's vote Tuesday night in Youngstown, Ohio, saying at a rally that America is now "one step closer to liberating our citizens from this Obamacare nightmare."
"Finally," he said to a crowd of thousands of supporters at the campaign-style event. "You think that's easy? That's not easy."
While the president told his fans that he hoped that "obstructionists, meaning Democrats" would "finally do what's right" and join efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare, Trump predicted that Republicans will likely have to go it alone — as they did Tuesday. "Today we won 51 to 50 and didn't get a single Democrat vote," he said. "Think of that."
But later in the evening, the Senate took its first substantive vote on a beefed-up version of the Better Care Reconciliation Act, a measure that would partially repeal and replace Obamacare. That vote failed to garner the requisite 60 votes necessary and put an end for the time being of a large comprehensive health care bill.
Earlier in Washington, momentum built over the course of the day as several previously skeptical members announced their support after Senate GOP leaders began detailing plans for more votes over the next days to shape the specifics of the legislation.
In a dramatic moment that allowed for the vote's passage, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who was recently diagnosed with brain cancer, returned to the Senate from Arizona to cast a key vote. Pence broke the tie after two Republicans — Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska — and all the Democrats voted against it. But first more than a dozen protesters in the gallery interrupted the Senate's proceedings, chanting, "Kill the bill; don't kill us."
Speaking at the White House just minutes after the vote, President Donald Trump thanked Senate Republicans, saying, "now we move forward with truly great health care for the American people, we look forward to that. This was a big step."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said before the vote that it was "a critical first step."
"We can’t let this moment slip by. We’ve talked about this too long," McConnell added.
Now that the the Senate has opened up debate, the next few days will consist of debate and votes on perhaps dozens of amendments.
The final product is unknown but is likely to end up as what's being called a “skinny” repeal that disposes of just a few components of Obamacare.
The first vote was on the Better Care Reconciliation Act, with an amendment from Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, that would provide for the sale of catastrophic insurance plans that are less expensive and provide less protection than allowed under Obamacare. The bill also included an amendment by Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, that would add $100 billion in additional spending to help low-income people pay for premiums and co-pays, especially those who might lose Medicaid coverage due to cuts to the program.
But the BCRA amendment needed 60 votes because neither the Cruz nor the Portman provisions have been scored by the Congressional Budget Office, leaving no clear indication of how much they would cost or how many people they would affect. That means it cannot pass under special reconciliation rules allowing a simple majority approval. It fell far short with nine Republicans and all Democrats voting against it.
One of the next votes, likely Wednesday, will be on a version of the Obamacare repeal bill that passed the Senate and the House in 2015 but was vetoed by President Barack Obama.
The plan after those two votes is for senators to proceed to votes on a series of amendments to create the “skinny” repeal, which is a watered-down version of repeal with nothing to replace it.
The goal would be to eliminate Obamacare's individual mandate penalty, the employer mandate penalty, and the tax on medical devices —items that Senate leaders think might be able to get 50 votes. A broader repeal would also have ended Medicaid's expansion, get rid of or replace the Obamacare subsidies that help people purchase insurance and repeal more — or all — of Obamacare's taxes.
The Senate would then go to conference with the House of Representatives, where conferees would work out a final bill. Both chambers would then have to vote on the reconciled bill.
"The proposal Leader McConnell made is nothing more than a ruse," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on the Senate floor. "We’re going to do everything we can in this chamber, and the so many groups outside the chamber, to make sure that this does not pass the Senate at the end of the day."
While the plan is is unlikely to result in a full repeal or replace, the scaled-down ambition was enough for senators who have been critical throughout the process to vote "yes" on today's motion to open up debate.
"It's just time to have debate," said Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., who had earlier said he would not vote to debate the Senate bill. "So let's have the debate. Move forward. Let's get it out of the backrooms. Let's get it out on the Senate floor. And let's move forward." He did not indicate how he'd vote on the various measures that will come up in the days to come.
The dramatic return of McCain — who received a standing ovation on the Senate floor — helped give GOP leaders not only a crucial vote but a morale boost for the GOP conference.
While passage of the motion to proceed had been in doubt for weeks, the momentum began to shift Tuesday morning. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., announced in a series of tweets that he supports this plan and would vote "yes" on the motion, saying he was satisfied after being promised a vote on a near-full repeal and that the repeal-and-replace plan will likely fail.
A handful of other GOP senators who had also been skeptical of the Senate bill came on board to move ahead, including Sens. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.V., Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Jerry Moran, R-Kan.
But there was some last-minute drama that led people to question if the vote would really pass, provided by Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., who has been highly critical of the process and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Nearly 25 minutes after the vote began, Johnson walked onto the floor, didn't vote, and proceeded to get into a heated discussion with McConnell that lasted five minutes. Johnson and McCain had not yet voted when the Arizona senator walked on the floor and cast his vote. Then Johnson voted "yes," giving Republicans their 50th vote.
Over the last two days, Trump finally engaged fully on health care, using his bully pulpit and his Twitter account to pressure — and shame — Republicans into voting for the bill.
Democrats are working to defeat the bill, holding rallies, including one on the Capitol steps after Tuesday's vote. They are also meeting and hosting people, including children who depend on coverage they've received under Obamacare, to lobby against repeal.

WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain returned to the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday afternoon to cast a critical vote in favor of health care legislation less than a week after undergoing surgery and revealing he has brain cancer.
And then, in typical McCain fashion, he took to the floor and blasted both the Senate's draft health care bill and the process that produced it.
"All we’ve managed to do is make more popular a policy that wasn’t very popular when we started trying to get rid of it," he said of Obamacare.
McCain’s vote was pivotal as Republicans, who hold a 52-seat majority, scrambled to round up 50 votes on a motion to advance legislation to repeal Obamacare.
McCain did not announce in advance whether he would support Tuesday’s “motion to proceed,” but he marched onto the floor to a standing ovation from his colleagues and voted "aye." Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska voted no, requiring Vice President Pence to cast the tie-breaking vote in favor.
But that was only a vote to begin debate. "I will not vote for this bill as it is today," McCain said, and if it fails, "which seems likely," the Senate should go back to the drawing board, with hearings, markups and consultation with Democrats — all things that have thus far been lacking.
Standing in the well of the Senate with the surgical scar over his left eyebrow clearly visible, McCain urged his colleagues to "stop listening to the bombastic loudmouths" on radio, television and the Internet who rail against compromise. "To hell with them!" McCain said.
Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, were seen smiling during McCain's speech as he railed against Republicans crafting legislation behind closed doors and trying to convince skeptical members that it's better than nothing.
“Let’s trust each other," McCain said. "We’ve been spinning our wheels on too many important issues because we keep trying to find a way to win without help from across the aisle."

McCain left the Capitol with his wife, Cindy, after his speech, canceling a scheduled news conference.
His announcement Monday that he would return for the vote added momentum to Republican efforts in the Senate following House Republicans’ passage of their bill in May.
“We all know Sen. McCain is a fighter,” said Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky during a Senate floor speech Tuesday. “That’s evidenced by his remarkable life of public service, just as it’s again evidenced by his quick return to the Senate this afternoon.”

McCain, 80, a decorated Vietnam War veteran and six-term senator, is battling glioblastoma, an aggressive type of brain cancer that is difficult to treat. The cancer was discovered during surgery to treat a blood clot above his eye. He is reviewing treatment options, which may include chemotherapy and radiation, with his care team at the Mayo Clinic.
On the Senate floor, he hugged his colleagues and joked about his well-wishers.
"I’ve had so many people say such nice things about me recently that I think some of you must have me confused with someone else," he said.
President Trump, who has criticized McCain in the past, tweeted his thanks early Tuesday morning and then again after the vote.
".@SenJohnMcCain-Thank you for coming to D.C. for such a vital vote. Congrats to all Rep. We can now deliver grt healthcare to all Americans!" he wrote.

Others blasted McCain on Twitter for leaving taxpayer-supported treatment to help pass legislation that —according to a Congressional Budget Office analysis — would lead to more than 20 million fewer people having insurance by 2026.
“After brain surgery paid for by taxpayers,@SenJohnMcCain will vote to take away healthcare from 22 million Americans,” tweeted Jon Cooper, chairman of the Democratic Coalition, which describes itself as an anti-Trump organization.

McCain, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he will stay in D.C. "for a few days" and plans to return to work on the National Defense Authorization Act, among other issues.
“After that, I’m going home for a while to treat my illness," he said. "I have every intention of returning here and giving many of you cause to regret all the nice things you said about me."

The amendment would essentially allow insurers to sell plans that don't comply with ObamaCare regulations, as long as it also sold plans that did.
The amendment was added to BCRA, which failed on the floor Tuesday night, but it could potentially be added to a bill when the House and Senate go to conference.

The amendment, just added to the bill Tuesday night, would add $100 billion to the bill's state stability fund to help people who might lose the coverage they got under ObamaCare's Medicaid expansion. These funds could help cover out-of-pocket costs like deductibles and copays.
Portman said he "worked with the president, vice president and administrative officials" to "improve this bill further to help out low-income Ohioans."
Portman was a holdout on the GOP's replacement bill, but indicated that his amendment moved him to "yes" on a crucial procedural vote on healthcare Tuesday afternoon.
The GOP's proposal repealing and replacing ObamaCare – being offered as an amendment to a bill currently being debated by the Senate – will likely need 60 votes, meaning it is unlikely to pass.
That's because the proposal includes two amendments, including Portman's, that have not yet been analyzed by the Congressional Budget Office, a requirement for the budgetary process Republicans are using to try to pass their healthcare bill.
Senate ObamaCare repeal, replace plan expected to need 60 votes
6:34 p.m.
A proposal repealing and replacing ObamaCare—being offered as an amendment to a bill currently being debate by the Senate—will likely need 60 votes, almost guaranteeing that it won't be able to pass.
Senate Republicans brought up their their repeal and replace proposal, known as the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA), after voting early Tuesday to proceed to the House-passed healthcare bill.
The amendment will also include Sen. Ted Cruz's (Texas) proposal to give insurance companies more flexibility on what kinds of health insurance plans it offers, and a Medicaid proposal from Sen. Rob Portman (Ohio).
Because the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has analyzed neither the Cruz nor Portman proposals, the entire repeal-and-replace amendment may be required to meet a 60-vote threshold, according to guidance from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Addison (Mitch) Mitchell McConnellOvernight Defense: Trump nixes Pompeo's North Korea trip | McCain gets outpouring of support | Erik Prince pushes Afghanistan plan Lawmakers offer support for McCain after he discontinues cancer treatment McCain ending brain cancer treatment MORE's (R-Ky.) office.

McConnell called up the first amendment to the bill, which was the 2015 repeal bill. He's expected to attach the Senate's repeal and replacement bill, along with amendments from GOP Sens. Rob Portman (Ohio) and Ted Cruz (Texas) to that as a second-degree amendment.
Under Senate procedure, the chamber will vote first on the repeal and replace bill, before turning to repeal-only.

Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) on Tuesday will vote to begin the healthcare debate.
Heller, who is seen as the most vulnerable Senate Republican incumbent in 2018, announced in a statement that he will vote to advance healthcare legislation, even though he warned last month that he opposed a motion to proceed to the Senate version of the healthcare bill because it would leave tens of millions more people uninsured.
Heller argued that blocking a debate would leave the Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare, as the status quo.
He was one of a handful of Republican senators considered most likely to block a debate on healthcare legislation and send Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) back to the drawing board.

Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) will vote in favor of the key procedural motion to effectively start debate in the Senate on ObamaCare legislation, according to the Columbus Dispatch.
The Dispatch quoted a source close to Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican who has opposed various Senate ObamaCare repeal-and-replace measures. The source said Portman had called Kasich to tell him the news.
Portman has long been seen as a key swing vote, and his support for the measure will make it more difficult for other centrists on the fence to vote "no."

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a key moderate, voiced concern over the slimmed-down Senate GOP plan going into the GOP policy lunch.
Collins said she had not heard about the so-called skinny ObamaCare repeal plan until a reporter asked about.
“I would look forward to hearing more details about that at lunch,” she said, as Senate Republicans gathered to discuss healthcare strategy ahead of this afternoon’s vote.
Schumer knocks Rand Paul over support for key procedural vote
1:35 p.m.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) knocked Sen. Rand Paul after the Kentucky Republican signaled he would vote to start the healthcare debate.
"It’s true that he will likely get a vote on an amendment to do repeal without replace — but surely he knows that vote will fail. Why, then, would the junior Senator from Kentucky ... vote on the motion to proceed knowing that he won’t get what he wants?" Schumer asked.
Schumer added that he thinks Paul is going along with GOP leadership because if the Senate goes to conference with the House to merge their proposals, "the likeliest compromise in conference is full repeal of the Affordable Care Act or something close to it."
Paul said on Twitter earlier on Tuesday that the Senate will take up the 2015 ObamaCare repeal bill if they can get the 50 votes needed to start debate on the House-passed healthcare measure.
GOP senator: 'Skinny' repeal 'rather unsatisfying'
1:22 p.m.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said a proposed "skinny repeal" of ObamaCare would be "rather unsatisfying from my standpoint."
Johnson said that GOP leaders haven't yet told him what such a repeal would look like.
The conservative senator has been a frequent critic of the hurried process used to try to pass ObamaCare repeal and the limited info from leaders.
"You have to start with information. In this alternate universe, information is the last step in the process, including, I guess, right now, what we’re actually going to vote on, which is a little hard to believe," Johnson told reporters.
When asked if pared-down repeal would be better than nothing, Johnson didn't respond, but shook his head.
'Skinny' bill would delay repeal of ObamaCare mandates
1:10 p.m.
Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) said the "skinny bill" would delay the repeal of the individual and employer mandates for two years.
He said he would support the skinny bill in order to "get to the next step."

Chamber of Commerce urges yes vote to debate
12:55 p.m.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday urged senators to vote in favor of the motion to begin debate on healthcare legislation, saying that it will consider including the vote in its annual scorecard.
"While good faith negotiations continue, remaining issues can be dealt with on the Senate Floor through the debate and amendment process," Jack Howard, senior vice president of congressional and public affairs at the Chamber, said in a letter to senators.
Heritage Action and Americans for Tax Reform have also called on lawmakers to vote yes on the motion.
McConnell pitches colleagues on beginning repeal debate
12:21 p.m.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is urging his caucus to vote to start debate on repealing and replacing ObamaCare, a few hours before a key procedural hurdle.
"Any senator who votes against starting debate is telling America that you're just fine with the ObamaCare nightmare," he said.
McConnell will need at least 50 GOP senators to vote "yes" on taking up the House bill, which is being used as a vehicle for any Senate action.
He got a late boost of momentum after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) signaled he would vote "yes," on the heels of news that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is returning to the Senate in time for the Tuesday afternoon vote.
No. 2 Republican reiterates 'everything's on the table'

Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn John CornynWhite House aides think Trump will pardon Manafort: report Tension between Trump, Justice reaches pivotal point Corker: Sessions ‘owns’ Trump until he’s fired MORE (R-Texas) said "everything's on the table," just a few hours ahead of a vote to begin debate on repealing ObamaCare.
When asked if it was possible to move to a "skinny" repeal bill, Cornyn said, "I think we can do that."
He reiterated that if the Senate can pass a bill, it can go to conference with the House to hammer out the details.
Paul a 'yes' on key healthcare vote
12:08 p.m.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Tuesday that he will support a motion to proceed to debate on healthcare later in the day.
Paul tweeted that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told him the upper chamber would take up the 2015 ObamaCare repeal bill previously passed by Congress.
“If this is indeed the plan, I will vote to proceed and I will vote for any all measures that are clean repeal,” Paul said
Paul has pushed for a vote on the 2015 bill, which repeals large parts of ObamaCare's requirements and regulations, instead of the GOP repeal-and-replace plan that Republicans have been working on this year.
If that measure can't get the 60 votes it needs, which is unlikely, Paul said he would support "whatever version of CLEAN repeal we can pass."
McCain returning to the Senate this afternoon
12:06 p.m.
Sen. John McCain will return to the Senate about 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday, according to the Arizona Republican's office.
McCain, whose office announced last week he had been diagnosed with brain cancer, is returning in time to vote on taking up the House-passed healthcare bill in the upper chamber.
His office said McCain will speak on the Senate floor after the vote for first remarks since returning to Capitol Hill, and then speak with reporters off the Senate floor.
Senators prepare for dramatic vote
11:35 a.m.
Senate Republicans are preparing to take a dramatic procedural vote on Tuesday that could make or break their ObamaCare repeal effort.
It’s unclear if Republicans will have the 50 votes they need to clear a first procedural hurdle, though they are pulling out all the stops to do so.

The vote on a motion to proceed to the House ObamaCare repeal-and-replace measure is expected sometime Tuesday afternoon, but it hasn’t been scheduled.
The latest Senate GOP effort to get a bill through the Senate is the proposal of a “skinny” repeal bill that would end ObamaCare’s mandates and the medical device tax.
The hope is that this measure might win 50 votes from Republican senators who have been divided on healthcare.
GOP leaders have kept members mostly in the dark about what they will ultimately be voting on: a full repeal of ObamaCare with a two-year delay to find a replacement; the Better Care Reconciliation Act, which would make dramatic changes to Medicaid in addition to repealing large parts of the law; or the “skinny repeal.”

It's a highly unusual situation for the upper chamber to find itself in, made even more dramatic by Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) return to the Senate after being diagnosed with a brain tumor.
