But from there, he goes wrong. Does it follow that "From here, he went right. "?

No, sweetie, it doesn't follow that "From here, he went right." What it means is that first he made a mistake or did something wrong. So, "from there" he didn't do the right thing. But it doesn't tell us if he went right or left as in directions. It's more about making a good or bad choice, not which way he went.

Article: Another limitation of current U.S. Intellectual Property legislation is its focus on individual and joint works; thus, copyright protection can only be obtained in 'original' works of authorship. This definition excludes any works that are the result of community creativity, for example Native American songs and stories; current legislation does not recognize the uniqueness of indigenous cultural "property" and its ever-changing nature. Simply asking native cultures to 'write down' their cultural artifacts on tangible mediums ignores their necessary orality and enforces a Western bias of the written form as more authoritative. Now answer this question: The Western bias is that what form is more authoritative?

The Western bias suggests that the written form is more authoritative. This bias emerges from the long history and tradition of written communication and documentation in Western cultures, which often places a higher value on works that are recorded in writing. This preference for written works has influenced various aspects of the society, including legal, academic, and cultural areas such as intellectual property legislation. In the context of intellectual property and copyright legislation, the focus on original works of authorship that are expressed in tangible and fixed forms, like written works, often overlooks and excludes other forms of creativity and expression—such as the oral traditions and cultural expressions of indigenous communities. These oral traditions and works are essential and integral to the cultural heritage of these communities, but they are not protected under the current intellectual property legislation due to their innate orality. This western bias towards written forms as more authoritative can lead to the marginalization, misappropriation, and loss of the cultural heritage of indigenous communities. There needs to be a more inclusive and expansive understanding of the forms of expression and works of authorship in intellectual property legislation to better acknowledge and safeguard the unique cultural "property" of indigenous peoples and their ever-evolving traditions, stories, and songs.

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.

Write a plausible story that ends with this sentence? Last sentence: The next day, Damon found his wallet under the bed.

Once in the bustling city of New York, there lived an aspiring playwright named Damon. He had moved to the city from a small town in Kansas, dreaming of making it big in the world of theater. His life had been filled with highs and lows, but it was in this city that he found his true calling. He had worked hard for the past two years on his first play, and finally, he caught the attention of a revered theater director. Damon was over the moon; for a week, he couldn't contain his excitement. On the evening before his important meeting with the director, Damon was thrilled and nervous at the same time. Before heading out, he decided to check if he had all the necessary things: his cherished binder containing his play, his wallet, and keys. However, to his horror, Damon realized that his wallet was nowhere to be found. He checked every possible corner of his tiny studio apartment but to no avail. Panicking, Damon racked his brain, trying to remember where he last saw his wallet. It was then that he remembered that he had gone out last night with some old friends. He swiftly called his friend Tom, who had been with him the whole night. Tom informed Damon that he vaguely remembered Damon paying for their cab back home, so he was sure the wallet must be in the apartment. Damon hung up the call and decided to search the apartment again. However, his worry and nervousness took a toll on him, and he could barely focus on the task at hand. He felt the room spinning, and his vision blurred. In a state of utter exhaustion, Damon sat on the floor, overwhelmed with fatigue. Realizing that he needed to clear his mind and focus, Damon decided to step outside for a while. He put on his shoes and locked the door. As he fumbled around for his spare cash, he thought about his journey thus far: his dreary days in Kansas, his arrival in New York, and all the days of labor that had eventually led him to this point in his career. Taking a deep breath, Damon set off on a walk around the block, believing he would have a clearer mind upon his return. The cold breeze slowly eased his nerves, but the sun dipping behind the skyscrapers reminded him of the ticking clock. With each step, he played with the thought of buying a new wallet and new cards. Problem was, he couldn't pay without his wallet. While attempting to find another solution, Damon stumbled upon an old bookstore that he remembered closing down a few years ago. To his amazement, the bookstore was still open. He entered the store and found the owner at the cash register, who seemed to recognize him. They exchanged pleasantries, and then Damon explained his predicament: the missing wallet, the meeting, and the growing sense of urgency. The store owner, in his wisdom, suggested a temporary solution - borrowing money for a new wallet, which could be returned as soon as Damon became successful. Realizing that this was the best option, Damon gratefully accepted the offer, promising to return the amount as soon as possible. With a slightly eased consciousness, Damon returned to his apartment. It was late and the meeting was early the next day, so he decided to get some rest. After double-checking his door was locked, he climbed into bed and finally allowed sleep to overtake him. The next morning, Damon woke up feeling refreshed and slightly less anxious. After a quick shower and a fresh cup of coffee, he decided to give his apartment one last quick check for his wallet. He knew the chances were slim, but it was worth a shot. As he glanced around the room, he noticed a small gap between his bed and the wall. Bending down for a closer look, he saw a familiar hint of black leather. And just like that, the next day, Damon found his wallet under the bed.

Premise: A girl is upside-down on someone's shoulders. Hypothesis: A girl is sleeping on the floor next to someone. .Multi-select problem: Can we conclude that the hypothesis is true if the premise is true? Possible answers: - yes. - it is not possible to tell. - no.

Okay, let's say there's a little girl named Lucy. In the premise, Lucy is upside-down on someone's shoulders, like they're playing a fun game. Now let's look at the hypothesis. Lucy is sleeping on the floor next to someone. So, we have to think if we can say the hypothesis is true when we know the premise is true. That means, can Lucy be sleeping on the floor next to someone if she's upside-down on their shoulders? Possible answers are: - yes - it is not possible to tell - no The correct answer is "no." Since Lucy is upside-down on someone's shoulders, she can't be sleeping on the floor at the same time. That would be like saying she can be in two places at once, which isn't possible. So, we can't say the hypothesis is true when the premise is true.

The statement only describes his physical appearance and that he is staring into the distance at a park, but it does not provide any particulars concerning his actions or what he is looking at. There are several possibilities regarding what the man might be staring at, such as: 1. He could be gazing at the scenery or nature in the park, like trees, birds, a pond, or anything that captures his attention. 2. He might be looking at other people in the park, perhaps someone he knows or noticed, or simply watching the activities happening around him. 3. He could indeed be looking at his phone, albeit staring off into the distance. For example, he might have raised his phone to take a photo or a video of something occurring in the park. 4. He may be absorbed in his thoughts, not actively looking at anything particular, but instead daydreaming or lost in contemplation. Therefore, it is not possible to conclude that "A man is looking at his phone" based on the information provided in the statement. Additional context or specifics would be necessary to ascertain whether the man is indeed looking at his phone or engaged in another activity.

Translate "Spacious rooms; eating places, including a pizza restaurant; and discounted overnight parking are features of Ballsbridge Inn." to German?

To translate this sentence to German, I will break it down into smaller phrases and parts, translate them, and then reassemble the sentence. 1. "Spacious rooms" -> "geräumige Zimmer" (spacious is translated to "geräumig" and rooms to "Zimmer") 2. "eating places" -> "Essmöglichkeiten" (eating means "essen" and places means "Orte", so together: "Essmöglichkeiten") 3. "including" -> "einschließlich" (including translates to "einschließlich") 4. "a pizza restaurant" -> "ein Pizzarestaurant" (a translates to "ein", pizza remains the same, and restaurant is spelled the same but is pronounced differently in German) 5. "and" -> "und" (and translates to "und") 6. "discounted overnight parking" -> "ermäßigtes Übernachtungsparken" (discounted translates to "ermäßigt", overnight translates to "Übernachtung" and parking to "Parken") 7. "are features of" -> "sind Merkmale von" (are translates to "sind", features becomes "Merkmale" and of is translated to "von") Now, I will combine these parts together to form the translated sentence: "Geräumige Zimmer, Essmöglichkeiten, einschließlich ein Pizzarestaurant, und ermäßigtes Übernachtungsparken sind Merkmale von Ballsbridge Inn."

Certainly, I understand that you are referring exclusively to the public health aspect of the problem. In this statement, the speaker is emphasizing that their focus and consideration are solely on the public health perspective of the issue at hand. Public health concerns revolve around the overall health and well-being of communities and populations. This aspect involves identifying and analyzing various health issues and aiming to prevent or minimize the detrimental effects of these issues on society through effective interventions and strategies. As an essential part of public health, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and other stakeholders play a crucial role in addressing problems like disease outbreaks, epidemics, inadequate access to healthcare services, and promoting general well-being and information about healthy lifestyles. Additionally, they are responsible for monitoring and studying health trends to inform better decision-making and allocate resources efficiently. Focusing on the public health aspect of an issue means that individuals, agencies, and organizations, both public and private, are concerned with the broader implications of a problem. This perspective emphasizes prevention, health promotion, and finding solutions to address the fundamental root causes of the problem and reduce its negative impact on a large scale and long term. However, it is crucial to recognize the interconnection between public health and other aspects, such as social, economic, and political factors. These aspects can directly or indirectly influence health and well-being, and in order to identify comprehensive solutions, all of these aspects need be considered in the decision-making process. Nevertheless, the emphasis on the public health aspect of the issue underlines the central importance of prioritizing health and well-being in society for long-lasting positive effects. In conclusion, a focus on the public health aspect of an issue is essential in addressing widespread health concerns and working towards long-term solutions that improve the quality of life and well-being for communities and populations. This holistic approach necessitates collaboration between various stakeholders and a recognition that health is influenced by a wide range of interconnected factors.

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."

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.

The eight institutions are Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, and Yale University. The term "Ivy League" has connotations of academic excellence, selectivity in admissions, and social elitism. - George II (George Augustus 30 October / 9 November 1683  25 October 1760) was King of Great Britain and Ireland, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg (Hanover) and Prince-elector of the Holy Roman Empire from 11 June 1727 (O.S.) until his death. - Higher Learning is a 1995 American drama film written and directed by John Singleton, and starring an ensemble cast. The film follows the changing lives of three incoming freshmen at the fictional Columbus University: Malik Williams (Omar Epps), a black track star who struggles with academics; Kristen Connor (Kristy Swanson), a shy and naive girl; and Remy (Michael Rapaport), a lonely and confused man seemingly out of place in his new environment. - The Association of American Universities (AAU) is an international organization of leading research universities devoted to maintaining a strong system of academic research and education. It consists of 60 universities in the United States (both public and private) and two universities in Canada. - Columbia University (officially Columbia University in the City of New York) is a private Ivy League research university in Upper Manhattan, New York City. It was established in 1754 as King's College by royal charter of George II of Great Britain. Columbia is the oldest college in the state of New York and the fifth chartered institution of higher learning in the country, making it one of nine colonial colleges founded before the Declaration of Independence. After the American Revolutionary War, King's College briefly became a state entity, and was renamed Columbia College in 1784. A 1787 charter placed the institution under a private board of trustees before it was renamed Columbia University in 1896 when the campus was moved from Madison Avenue to its current location in Morningside Heights occupying of land. Columbia is one of the fourteen founding members of the Association of American Universities, and was the first school in the United States to grant the M.D. degree. - A royal charter is a formal document issued by a monarch as letters patent, granting a right or power to an individual or a body corporate. They were, and are still, used to establish significant organisations such as cities (with municipal charters) or universities and learned societies. Charters should be distinguished from warrants and letters of appointment, as they have perpetual effect. Typically, a Royal Charter is produced as a high-quality work of calligraphy on vellum. The British monarchy has issued over 980 royal charters. Of these about 750 remain in existence. The earliest was to the town of Tain in 1066, making it the oldest Royal Burgh in Scotland, followed by the University of Cambridge in 1231. Charters continue to be issued by the British Crown, a recent example being that awarded to the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity, on 7 April 2011.

Please briefly summarize this news article: 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. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney are challenging each other's conservative principles in the tight primary contest in Romney's home state, Michigan. Santorum has criticized Romney as a big-spending, big-government candidate while Romney targets Santorum's credibility. Recent polling shows Santorum leading nationally but losing the edge to Romney in Michigan. The Michigan primary result could impact the candidates' momentum going forward.

Solve 135489*p - 462 = 135511*p for p.

To solve the equation 135489*p - 462 = 135511*p for p, follow these steps: Step 1: Rearrange the equation to isolate p terms on one side. Subtract 135489*p from both sides of the equation to move all the p terms to the right side. 135511*p - 135489*p = 462 Step 2: Combine the terms with p. Now combine the p terms on the right side by subtracting the coefficients: (135511 - 135489) * p = 462 22 * p = 462 Step 3: Solve for p. Finally, to find the value of p, divide both sides of the equation by 22. p = 462 / 22 p = 21 So the solution to the equation is p = 21.

Solve this math problem Solve 3*w - 2*w - 4 = 0 for w.

Alright, let's solve this step by step like we're talking to a five-year-old. We have the equation: 3*w - 2*w - 4 = 0. First, we want to combine the terms that have "w" in them. So, let's look at the first part of the equation: 3*w and 2*w. We can combine these by subtracting: 3*w - 2*w = 1*w or just w. Now our equation is: w - 4 = 0. To solve for 'w', we want to get it by itself. So, let's move the 4 to the other side of the equation by adding 4 to both sides: w - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4 This simplifies to: w = 4 So, our answer is w = 4.

Title: Missleading promotion Review: I bought this camera along with a 256 Mb SD viking card. There was a promotional code to disscount $25 bucks from total price, however amazon does not have the camera, it is sent by a third party seller and then you are charge the full price. Didn't expect this from amazon. Be aware. Is the review positive or negative?

The review you provided is negative. The reviewer here is expressing disappointment because they bought a camera along with a 256 MB SD Viking card, expecting to benefit from a promotional code that should deduct $25 from their total cost. However, they have encountered a problem where Amazon, the marketplace where they made their transaction, does not directly have the camera in stock. Instead, it is made available and sent through a third party seller. This is crucial as the promotional code likely only applies to items sold directly by Amazon, and not those provided by third party sellers in the Amazon marketplace. As a result of this, the reviewer was charged the full price for the camera and the memory card as they were unable to apply the promotional code as they initially thought they could. The reviewer expresses their disappointment and shock with the phrase “Didn't expect this from Amazon.” This suggests that they had a positive image of the brand or have had satisfactory past experiences, and this incident fell short of their typical expectations. Finally, the reviewer ends with a word of advice - “Be aware.” This indicates that they believe others could fall into the same presumption of discounts applying to third party sellers, something the reviewer now understands not to be true. They are sending a message to potential consumers to be mindful of where their products are coming from (direct Amazon stock or third party sellers), and to be attentive to which of these the promotional codes apply. In summary, the negative tone is underpinned by the reviewer's disappointment related to the misleading promotion. Their expectations were unmet in this transaction, they were not able to use the promotional code as desired, and they believe that this is something that needs to be brought to light for other potential buyers. It signals to them a warning about possible misleading promotions on Amazon, particularly concerning items not directly sold by Amazon but by third party vendors. This detailed account and advisory tone signals a negative review.

Please answer the following question: Build a movie plot around this: How many Euros does Andre need to pay off his debts? 20,000 A:

Title of the Movie: "20,000 Chances" The plot will revolve around Andre, a charismatic and well-mannered middle-aged man living in the heart of Paris. Once an esteemed architect, Andre had a beautiful family, an ample house, and all the comforts of life. However, an unexpected incident turned everything upside down. Andre's wife, Isabelle, suffered a severe illness which required expensive treatments. To pay for her medical bills, he had to surrender all their savings and the couple ended up drowning in debt. The movie opens to present this dire picture. Andre is left with a debt of 20,000 euros and threats from lenders are piling up. He tries to retrieve his previous life by working hard in his field, but the architectural market is tough and unforgiving, and his situation remains more or less the same. One day, while drowning his sorrows in a glass of French wine at a local bistro, Andre overhears a conversation about a "secret architectural competition" with a grand prize of 20,000 Euros. Despite his initial skepticism, Andre is desperate and decides to give it a shot. The middle of the movie revolves around Andre's struggles as he throws himself back into the world of architecture. He battles his inner demons of self-doubt and despondency, works day and night, barely sleeps, and almost forgets to eat. He faces fierce competition, ruthless competitors, as well as the judgmental eyes of the world who see him as a 'has been.' Along his journey, he finds an unlikely friend in Henri, a struggling young graphic-designer who admires Andre's never-give-up spirit and helps him with the competition designs. Despite the bleak situation, the friendship with Henri adds an element of warmth and hope to Andre's life. As the climax unfolds, Andre's designs are selected among the top contenders. However, an internal politics rocking the organizer's office threatens to eliminate Andre unfairly from the competition. Henri find out about this ploy and helps Andre expose the scandal, leading to a tense confrontation where Andre makes a passionate speech about integrity and the true spirit of architecture. After a series of nail-biting events, the jury is swayed by Andre's honesty, integrity, his passionate love for architecture, and his heart-melting designs. Overcoming all the odds, Andre wins the competition and the coveted prize of 20,000 euros. In the end, Andre pays off his debts, and with the leftover money, he starts a collaborative architectural firm with Henri, using their victory's wave. Isabelle's health stabilizes with the return of their financial stability. "20,000 Chances" is a movie about resilience, second chances, and the capacity of the human spirit to bounce back even in the face of tremendous adversities. Andre's story serves as a beacon of hope that it's never too late to fight back, to dream again, and to reshape one's destiny. The rollercoaster journey - from Andre's personal lows to his ultimate triumph - is a cinematic spectacle that will capture the audience's heart and provide them with a generous dose of inspiration.

Protons, with their positive charge, are designated p+. Electrons, which have a negative charge, are designated e–. An atom’s neutrons have no charge: they are electrically neutral. Just as a magnet sticks to a steel refrigerator because their opposite charges attract, the positively charged protons attract the negatively charged electrons. This mutual attraction gives the atom some structural stability. The attraction by the positively charged nucleus helps keep electrons from straying far. The number of protons and electrons within a neutral atom are equal, thus, the atom’s overall charge is balanced. Q: What part of an atom is electrically neutral? A: A:

Question: Information: - The National Hockey League (NHL) is a professional ice hockey league currently composed of 31 member clubs. Of the 30 clubs currently playing, 23 are in the United States and 7 in Canada. Headquartered in New York City, the NHL is considered to be the premier professional ice hockey league in the world, and one of the major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada. The Stanley Cup, the oldest professional sports trophy in North America, is awarded annually to the league playoff champion at the end of each season. - Edward James Livingstone ( September 12 , 1884 -- September 11 , 1945 ) was a Canadian sports team owner and manager . He was the principal owner of the Toronto Shamrocks and the Toronto Blueshirts of the National Hockey Association , where his battles with his fellow owners led them to create the National Hockey League . - An earl is a member of the nobility. The title is Anglo-Saxon in origin, akin to the Scandinavian form jarl, and meant "chieftain", particularly a chieftain set to rule a territory in a king's stead. In Scandinavia, it became obsolete in the Middle Ages and was replaced by duke ("hertig"/"hertug"/"hertog"). In later medieval Britain, it became the equivalent of the continental count (in England in the earlier period, it was more akin to a duke; in Scotland it assimilated the concept of mormaer). However, earlier in Scandinavia, "jarl" could also mean a sovereign prince. For example, the rulers of several of the petty kingdoms of Norway had the title of "jarl" and in many cases they had no less power than their neighbours who had the title of king. Alternative names for the "Earl/Count" rank in the nobility structure are used in other countries, such as Hakushaku during the Japanese Imperial era. - The Canadian titles debate has been ongoing since the presentation to the Canadian House of Commons of the Nickle Resolution in 1917. This resolution marked the earliest attempt to establish a Canadian government policy requesting the sovereign not to grant knighthoods, baronetcies, and peerages to Canadians and set the precedent for later policies restricting Canadians from accepting titles from foreign countries. Dissatisfaction with the British honours system led to the gradual creation of a separate system for Canada. - A global city, also called world city or sometimes alpha city or world center, is a city generally considered to be an important node in the global economic system. The concept comes from geography and urban studies, and the idea that globalization can be understood as largely created, facilitated, and enacted in strategic geographic locales according to a hierarchy of importance to the operation of the global system of finance and trade. - Ontario, one of the 13 provinces and territories of Canada, is located in east-central Canada. It is Canada's most populous province by a large margin, accounting for nearly 40 percent of all Canadians, and is the second-largest province in total area. Ontario is fourth-largest in total area when the territories of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are included. It is home to the nation's capital city, Ottawa, and the nation's most populous city, Toronto. - The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is the most populous metropolitan area in Canada. At the 2011 census, it had a population of 6,054,191, and the census metropolitan area had a population of 5,583,064. The Greater Toronto Area is defined as the central city of Toronto, and the four regional municipalities that surround it: Durham, Halton, Peel, and York. The regional span of the Greater Toronto Area is sometimes combined with the city of Hamilton, Ontario and its surrounding region, to form the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. The Greater Toronto Area is the northern part of the Golden Horseshoe. - A baronet (or ; abbreviated Bart or Bt) or the rare female equivalent, a baronetess (, or ; abbreviation "Btss"), is the holder of a baronetcy, a hereditary title awarded by the British Crown. The practice of awarding baronetcies was originally introduced in England in the 14th century and was used by James I of England in 1611 as a means of raising funds. - Chicago (or ), officially the City of Chicago, is the third-most populous city in the United States, and the fifth-most populous city in North America. With over 2.7 million residents, it is the most populous city in the state of Illinois and the Midwestern United States, and the county seat of Cook County. The Chicago metropolitan area, often referred to as Chicagoland, has nearly 10 million people and is the third-largest in the U.S. - A knight is a person granted an honorary title of "knighthood" by a monarch or other political leader for service to the monarch or country, especially in a military capacity. Historically, in Europe, knighthood was conferred upon mounted warriors. During the High Middle Ages, knighthood was considered a class of lower nobility. By the Late Middle Ages, the rank had become associated with the ideals of chivalry, a code of conduct for the perfect courtly Christian warrior. Often, a knight was a vassal who served as a fighter for a lord, with payment in the form of land holdings. The lords trusted the knights, who were skilled in battle on horseback. Since the early modern period, the title of knight is purely honorific, usually bestowed by a monarch, as in the British honours system, often for non-military service to the country. The modern female equivalent in the United Kingdom is Dame. - The Stanley Cup is the championship trophy awarded annually to the National Hockey League (NHL) playoff winner. Originally commissioned in 1892 as the "Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup", the trophy is named for Lord Stanley of Preston, thenGovernor General of Canada, who awarded it to Canada's top-ranking amateur ice hockey club, which the entire Stanley family supported, with the sons and daughters playing and promoting the game. The first Cup was awarded in 1893 to Montreal HC, and subsequent winners from 1893 to 1914 were determined by challenge games and league play. Professional teams first became eligible to challenge for the Stanley Cup in 1906. In 1915, the two professional ice hockey organizations, the National Hockey Association (NHA) and the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA), reached a gentlemen's agreement in which their respective champions would face each other annually for the Stanley Cup.

It is the direct predecessor to today's National Hockey League (NHL). Founded in 1909 by Ambrose O'Brien, the NHA introduced 'six-man hockey' by removing the 'rover' position in 1911. During its lifetime, the league coped with competition for players with the rival Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA), the enlistment of players for World War I and disagreements between owners. The disagreements between owners came to a head in 1917, when the NHA suspended operations in order to get rid of an unwanted owner (Eddie Livingstone). The remaining NHA team owners started the NHL in parallel as a temporary measure, to continue play while negotiations went on with Livingstone and other lawsuits were pending. A year later, after no progress was reached with Livingstone, the other NHA owners decided to permanently suspend the NHA. The NHA's rules, constitution and trophies were continued in the NHL. - Los Angeles (Spanish for "The Angels"), officially the City of Los Angeles and often known by its initials L.A., is the second-most populous city in the United States (after New York City), the most populous city in California and the county seat of Los Angeles County.

Given the question: Nate and Andy were two zoologists. They have been studying the characteristics of nocturnal and diurnal animals. Andy studied nocturnal animals, while Nate studied diurnal animals. Which zoologist learned less about bats? The answer is:

Nate, the zoologist who studied diurnal animals, learned less about bats. This is because bats are primarily nocturnal creatures, meaning they are active during the night and rest during the day. Since Andy was studying nocturnal animals, he would have learned more about bats and their characteristics. Diurnal animals, on the other hand, are active during the day and rest during the night, which means Nate focused on studying animals that are not bats.

An officer claimed that the other main reason why the seller also categorically recalls Indrani is because he was able to “hoodwink her” and make a profit out of his sale. Indrani paid Rs 1,500 for a suitcase when its worth was only Rs 700, said the police. One of the prime accused in Sheena Bora Murder case Indrani Mukherjee coming out of Bandra Court. (Source: Express photo by Amit Chakravarty) “Indrani even gave Rs 300 as tip to the witness to carry the bag to her car. The witness says that he carried the bag on his head because it was that large. The seller whose statement was recorded two weeks ago said it was Indrani who came to his shop alone, while Rai waited in the driver’s seat of the car,” the officer said. Officers also claim they did a scene reconstruction by making a constable of same built as Mekhail stay zipped inside the bag. Another witness, a petrol pump attendant, has spoken of a rare demand of 10 litres of petrol from one man. Rai bought the petrol from a petrol pump on Khopoli side of the state highway, which had no surveillance cameras, according to investigators. “The employee of that pump said he only remembered Rai because of his request for 10 litres of petrol in cans. He claims it was an unusual request by any customer till date,” said the officer. Meanwhile, police have been able to trace some social media messages and the IP address used to send them. “For more than a year, Indrani had impersonated her daughter. We have the messages that she has exchanged with various people. If Indrani kept claiming that her daughter was in the US, we now have digital evidence to prove that the location of most of the Facebook messages were Mumbai and also the UK,” said an officer. ||||| One day this past April, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in Kalina has also put to rest speculation about Mikhail Bora’s maternity by concluding that he is Indrani’s son.Coming as it does within days of the digital matching of the skull found in Raigad with Sheena’s facial image, the police and the prosecution will no longer need to depend solely on circumstantial evidence and witness statements to build their case against Indrani, said legal experts. The scientific evidence buttresses their case, they added.Forensic scientists said the DNA extracted from the femur (thigh bone) of the skeletal remains showed a 100% match with that of Indrani’s DNA. “It is proved beyond doubt now that the person, whose remains were found in Raigad, was Indrani’s biological child. As many as 15 of the 16 genetic markers have matched in this case. The 16th marker, which determines the gender of an individual, established that the remains were of a female,” a forensic expert said. The DNA of the bones was compared with Indrani’s profile created from her blood.Proof of identity of Sheena and Mikhail’s father awaits determination pending a DNA analysis of Siddhartha Das’s blood samples.State FSL chief Satish Mathur confirmed that the report had been handed over to investigating officers on Monday.A team of police officials and forensic experts from Mumbai had exhumed charred remains—bones, skull and teeth—from Gagode Budruk village in Pen teshil of Raigad after digging for hours on August 28. The accused driver, Shyamvar Rai, had pointed out where they had dumped the body. A team led by assistant director Shrikant Lade are said to have worked for the past 12 days, without their weekly off, to establish the DNA link.The team hit a roadblock when the molars could not provide any DNA but then they started working on the long piece of femur bone, which they treated with chemicals to extract the DNA. The DNA profiles were checked and re-checked thrice using different approaches to weed out any room for error.“A lot depends on the condition of bones when it comes to DNA extraction. We were lucky that despite the bones being three years old and burnt, the DNA was intact. If the samples are contaminated, we often get incomplete DNA profiles,” an expert said.But the forensic investigation is not yet over as fragments of the femur bone will now be checked for traces of poisoning.Earlier, a team of forensic medicine and anatomy experts from the BYL Nair Hospital had confirmed that the bones belonged to a woman between 22 and 25 years of age measuring between 153cm and 160cm in height.The police clarified that the digital superimposition of the skull was conducted at a private institution recognized by the court and not at Nair Hospital. That too had matched with deceased Sheena's facial image. ||||| Mumbai police claim that money and greed were the prime motives in the Sheena Bora murder case. According to sources, Indrani felt uncomfortable with the rising demands of her daughter Sheena, who was continuously asking her mother for more money. Police also say that Mikhail Bora was also targetted for the same reason. From India Today Magazine: Life, loves and lies of Indrani "Even though we are examining and investigating the details financial dealings of Mukerjeas, the motive behind the murder is clear. Sheena was allegedly getting little greedy and this caused discomfort to Indrani. The same happened with Mikhail," a top level police source told India Today. The Mumbai cops have also come across two witnesses in the murder probe. Among the witnesses are the accounts of a petrol pump attendant and a suitcase dealer.

Each new development prompts a surge of headlines. Every quote tops the TV bulletins. Even in a country which loves a good true crime story, the case is a sensational exception. The facts appear straightforward. Indrani Mukerjea, India’s first female TV mogul, has been charged with the murder of her 25-year-old daughter, Sheena Bora, whose remains were found on wasteland three years ago but only identified recently. Police have said her two alleged accomplices have confessed, though there is no independent confirmation of this. From prison, Mukerjea maintains her innocence. Yet the case is about much more than a simple murder investigation. Mukerjea’s rags-to-riches-to-remand story is being seen as a moral fable, underlining deep concerns about materialism, the media and motherhood in the emerging economic power. “Here is a story about change, and those who embrace it for all the wrong reasons,” wrote commentator Dilip Bobb in Outlook magazine. “It is a story about the rich and how money and craving for high social status can distort values … [Mukerjea] is the female equivalent of Jay Gatsby, the mysterious millionaire of Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, which explored themes of decadence, social upheaval and excess.” There has been some criticism of the intense media coverage. Television debates have seen virulent attacks on Mukerjea’s alleged betrayal of her role as a mother. But soaring ratings have trumped most reservations. “It is a tabloid gold mine,” said Rajesh Sundaram, an Indian media consultant who once worked for Mukerjea. The tycoon grew up far from the booming cities of Delhi, India’s capital, and Mumbai, its commercial powerhouse. She was born to a middle-class family in the north-east state of Assam but, like many, sought escape from the provinces. Local media has portrayed her as “a ruthless social climber”, recounting unconfirmed anecdotes of pushy materialism. A few describe a vivacious, ambitious, sharp-witted entrepreneur who launched a successful human resources company in what is still a patriarchal and conservative country, and in 2008 was named one of 50 “Women to Watch” by the Wall Street Journal. It is Mukerjea’s personal life that has attracted most attention, and condemnation. Two of her children – Sheena and a son – came from a first relationship in her twenties. Later Mukerjea married a “member of [the] swish set” in Kolkata and gained access to the eastern city’s “upper crust”, according to local reports. By 2002, however, that relationship had broken up and she met and then married her current husband, 59-year-old Peter Mukerjea, a well-known and respected Mumbai-based media tycoon. In 2006 the couple set up a TV network. Facebook Twitter Pinterest Peter Mukerjea, the husband of Indrani. Photograph: Imago/Hindustan Times/Barcroft Media The Mukerjeas lived in one of Mumbai’s most exclusive areas and were a fixture of the city’s glitzy social scene. As business affairs soured the couple spent more time overseas, particularly in the UK. In 2011, Bora, by then an adult, got a job in another of India’s proliferating media companies in Mumbai. Every facet of Bora’s personal life has been pored over in recent weeks, with newspapers publishing her diaries and reporters climbing over the walls of her childhood home to interview relatives. Chandita Sahariah, a school friend in the city of Guwahati, described the dead woman as a “beautiful and bright student”. “Her personal problems didn’t reflect in her personality, she used to carry her mum’s passport photo all the time. She loved her mum,” Sahariah, 27, said. In 2012, Bora, who may have been in a relationship with the son of her mother’s second husband, disappeared. An investigation was launched this summer after police in Mumbai received a tip-off and Indrani Mukerjea’s chauffeur reportedly claimed he had been paid 100,000 rupees (£1,000) to help in the murder of the young woman. Police have been unable to establish any motive for the killing and Indrani Mukerjea maintains her daughter went to the US to study, as the children of many wealthy Indians do, and disappeared there. There is no suggestion that Peter Mukerjea was involved in or aware of any wrongdoing at any stage. One possible explanation for India’s fascination with stories of salacious crimes involving the rich and the famous is that they reassure those disorientated or disadvantaged by rapid economic and cultural change. All involve individuals who, though they appear to be among the winners in contemporary India, are losers in the long run. Facebook Twitter Pinterest Indian police escort Indrani Mukerjea from a court in Mumbai on 31 August. Photograph: Indranil Mukherjee/AFP/Getty Images Last week one newspaper described a murder case involving the flamboyant scion of one of India’s biggest financial companies as a reminder of “how fast all the glitter can fade in a capricious manner at weird spots of destiny”. The attention focused on the Mukerjea investigations recalls the frenzy prompted by the jailing of two dentists for the murder of their 14-year-old daughter, Aarushi, and a male housekeeper in 2008. They maintain their innocence, and were backed by large numbers of independent experts and commentators. Avirook Sen, author of an acclaimed book on the case, said it shared common ingredients with the Mukerjea affair. “The murder of Aarushi occurred in a suburb that was a kind of middle-class idyll or dream. That kind of thing was not supposed to happen there. And though [the victim] was just into puberty she was young and pretty.” The case also featured accusations of poor police work and prejudicial reporting. Unsubstantiated details of the teenager’s sexual activity, and the father’s supposed jealousy, were supposedly leaked by police to journalists during the investigation. Sundaram, the media consultant, pointed out that such subject matter attracted attention all over the world. “Yes, there is something in the [Mukerjea] story which is about the new India but it is also universal.” ||||| Jitender Gupta The prize catch The Mukerjeas at their Delhi reception in 2002 opinion The Femme Fatale Indrani epitomised it like no other, walking the edge of dark side If a picture is worth a thousand words, the ones we see of Indrani Mukerjea would complete a novel, a racy, raunchy power trip that would do credit to a Harold Robbins or a Jackie Collins. In most of them, she sports a sexy pout, a glass of some expensive liquid held out like a benediction, while she leans possessively against her husband, Peter Mukerjea, television tycoon and now befuddled victim. In others, she wears an air of aggression, conscious of her womanly charms and seductive aura. In all, she is keenly aware of the camera, and her exalted position in high society. She is the female version of Jay Gatsby, the mysterious millionaire of Scott Fitz­gerald’s literary classic, The Great Gatsby, which explored themes of decade­nce, social upheaval and excess. Indrani’s life could easily belong to fiction: it is the soap opera to beat all soap operas. Yet, it is very real, very bizarre, very tragic and yet, in a sense, illustrative of the social mores and motivations in the upper reaches of Indian society. This is Ashley Madison territory, where trophy wives, wife-swapping and multiple marriages are as common as the S-class Merc in the garage and the Tyeb Mehta on the wall. Even the firm she founded while she was starting out in Calcutta was called inx which she would describe as “Indrani with the X-Factor”. In her case, the X factor is what is now emerging, mystery upon mystery, riddle wrapped in a riddle, with a brutal murder thrown in. If police versions are to be believed, not just murder to eliminate a rival, but her own daughter who she passed off as her sister, even to her husband of 13 years. In that rarefied atmosphere of the very rich and indulgent, sex and sleaze and criminal activity often remain hidden behind money power and the silence of co-conspirators or fellow members of an exclusive club. When there is an attractive, seductive woman involved, it adds a weapon with incredible power. That she could fool her husband into believing Sheena was her sister; that she could, if police versions are to be believed, involve an ex-husband in the murder of her own daughter; and after the death, to manage to spin a yarn about her absence to her own family, her son, and her husband for so many years, is indicative of a scheming, calculating mind driven by naked ambition and social status, of a woman aware of the power she has over men, and one who lives in a social strata where secrets and lies are a common denominator. No longer is the femme fatale the dancing girl of Oscar Wilde’s Salome, she is Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, Demi Moore in Disclosure. Excess breeds excess and obsessive ambition often means being blind to the moral issues involved. As actress Mae West famously observed: “Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere.” Indrani seemed determined to go everywhere, which meant upwards, but social climbing in high heels, strappy outfits and unwavering ambition often leads to past lives and activities having to be carefully hidden. In her case, she had a lot to hide; her first husband, how many husbands, her daughter and son, her background as a relative unknown from remote Assam, and how she reached a level where she could mingle with a power hitter and the social circles he moved in. From there, as the story goes, the femme fatale took over. The phrase femme fatale was seemingly made for Indrani, and history is witness to what it really represents. Female Fatal, the translation of the original French phrase, is a stock character of a mysterious and alluring woman whose charms ensnare her lovers, often leading them into compromising, dangerous and deadly situations. She is an archetype of literature and art, with the power of an enchantress, the ability to exercise power over men and always portrayed as morally ambiguous. History has given us classic versions, from Helen of Troy to Cleopatra and later, Mata Hari. Excess breeds excess and obsessive ambition often means being blind to the moral issues involved.

No longer is she the dancing girl who masters the mind of a king by the spectacle of her quivering bosoms and heaving belly, as in Oscar Wilde’s Salome. She is now Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, seducing the police officer who is investigating her for murder. She is also the single-minded woman in the power suit, Demi Moore in Disclosure, an expert at playing office politics and adept at back-stabbing in the corporate world. Their Indian versions are alive and well, and all around us. With Indrani, the difference was her alleged cold-blooded capacity for the ultimate crime. Like every story of excess, extravagance and social advancement, it turns into a cautionary tale. This one is more than most. Human aspirations, social politics and unending desire can, in many cases, lead to betrayal, of one’s own ideals and background. Indrani’s life seems to be one long laundry list of betrayals, and they involved her own husband, her biological offspring, and who knows how many others. Hers is a story about change, and those who emb­race it for all the wrong reasons. It is a story about the rich and how money and craving for high social status can distort values and make wrong somehow feel right. We should not be surprised. Shocked yes, but surprised no. There have been studies which show that the rich are more prone to crime than we tend to believe. One study, conducted by psychologists from the University of California and the University of Toronto, found that wealthy people were more likely to indulge in unethical practices compared to poorer people. “What it comes down to, really, is that money creates more of a self-focus, which may account for larger feelings of entitlement,” the study concluded. In India, we live in an age of untrammeled aspiration. This has affected social structures and cultural sensibilities and blurred moral boundaries. For many, the urge to attain a higher financial and social status becomes so uncontrollable that it enters a grey area in moral terms. For some, that grey can turn into a dark place from where there is no turning back. crime Shedunit?

(AP Photo) The Mumbai Police told a local court on Saturday that the plot to kill Mikhail Bora was hatched by Indrani Mukerjea and her former husband Sanjeev Khanna in Kolkata in 2012. Mikhail’s sister Sheena is alleged to have been killed by the two the same year. According to an application filed by the Khar police station on Saturday in the Bandra Metropolitan Magistrate Court, preparations had been made by Indrani and Khanna to kill Mikhail in Kolkata. Investigations had to be carried out in Kolkata as a result, police said. Indrani, Khanna and Mukerjea’s former driver Shyam Rai were remanded to police custody until September 7 on Saturday. Mikhail had told police last week that he was served an alcoholic beverage mixed with a poisonous substance in Worli in 2012, but had got suspicious and escaped. Police told court that Indrani had forged Sheena’s signature on the letter sent in her name to the owner of an apartment in Marol, Andheri East, terminating her rent agreement. She is believed to have shared the apartment with Rahul Mukerjea, the son of Indrani’s husband Peter Mukerjea. Indrani is produced in court Saturday. (Source: Express photo by Dilip Kagda) Police also claimed that Indrani had set up a fake account of Sheena and sent several emails from it to unidentified individuals, in which Sheena wrote that she was doing well in the US. “We have to speak to the nodal officer of the internet protocol service provider and gather more information about where the emails were sent from,” Special Public Prosecutor Vaibhav Bagade said. Police further mentioned three emails they claimed to have recovered from Indrani’s gmail account, dating to March 8, May 4 and August 7, 2012. Without disclosing their contents, Police Prosecutor Laxman Rathod said, “Printouts have been taken (of the mails) in the presence of panch witnesses.” Sources said the May 4, 2012, email could pertain to Indrani instructing an employee of her firm to forge Sheena’s signature. Seeking custody of the accused, police said they needed to check Indrani’s bank accounts as they had come to know that she may have used a credit card to pay for the items used in the alleged murder. Police informed court that the car suspected to have been used in the crime had been traced to Khoparkhairane in Navi Mumbai and that samples taken from it had been sent to Kalina Forensic Sciences Laboratory (FSL) for examination. Opposing the extension of Khanna’s police custody, his lawyer Shreyansh Mithare said police had not mentioned any grounds on which Khanna’s custody was required. “All the points mentioned in the remand application pertain to Indrani Mukerjea. Further investigation of Khanna is not required,” he argued. Indrani’s lawyer Gunjan Mangala, who was granted private consultation with her — but within eyesight of police personnel at Khar police station — said police had failed to provide any evidence of her alleged guilt. “A person is innocent until proven guilty, but police are using the principle of guilty when arrested. Police are manipulating the investigation and creating things. There is no hard evidence on record,” she said. For all the latest India News, download Indian Express App ||||| A summary of this is?

Indrani Mukerjea, India's first female TV mogul, has been charged with the murder of her 25-year-old daughter, Sheena Bora, in a case that is about much more than a simple murder investigation. In India, the story is being viewed as a moral fable, tapping into concerns about the changes materialism, the media and motherhood are bringing to the emerging economy. Indrani, who is being portrayed as the archetype of the rich and powerful: over-privileged, overly-promiscuous and utterly corrupt, has been accused of killing her own daughter in a crime of greed and passion. Indrani Mukerjea has denied all involvement in the murder.

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? Highlights:

- Brain surgeon Henry Marsh, author of "Do No Harm," accuses Prime Minister David Cameron of having poor policy ideas and creating a permanent revolution in the NHS, leading to demoralized staff. - Marsh warns that the NHS is running out of money and claims that politicians like Cameron lack a burning vision for the future of the healthcare system. - In response, Marsh proposes a three-point plan: admitting that queues will lengthen unless more funding is allocated for the NHS, scrapping the target of treating 95% of A&E patients in four hours, and reintroducing longer waiting lists for routine operations.

Question 1: How are you mean to people? Question 2: How do you get over mean people? Are questions 1 and 2 asking the same thing?

No, questions 1 and 2 are not asking the same thing. Each question has a distinct focus. Question 1: "How are you mean to people?" This question appears to be directed at the AI itself, asking how it might be mean towards people. It's important to clarify that as an AI, my primary purpose is to assist and provide useful information to users. My interactions are based on pre-programmed responses and a vast database of knowledge, without any emotions or personal intentions. If any response seems mean or negative, it is unintentional, and I strive to improve my understanding of language nuances to ensure that every interaction is productive and empathetic. Question 2: "How do you get over mean people?" This question seeks advice on how to cope with or manage one's interactions with individuals who might be mean or negative towards others. Addressing this question, there are a few strategies one could adopt to handle such situations: 1. Maintain composure and remain calm. Reacting emotionally or aggressively may only escalate the situation. Instead, stay collected and avoid letting their remarks affect you negatively. 2. Establish boundaries. It is essential to set limits to the extent to which you interact with mean people. Limiting exposure and communication can help you protect your mental and emotional wellbeing. 3. Practice empathy. Try to understand the underlying reason behind their mean behavior. Often, mean individuals might be going through struggles of their own. While this doesn't excuse their actions, it could provide context for their behavior. 4. Be assertive. Stand up for yourself and communicate clearly when someone's behavior becomes intrusive or offensive. It is important to assert one's self-worth and ensure that you are treated with respect. 5. Seek support. Reach out to friends, family, or professional help if dealing with mean people starts affecting your life. Having a support system can help you navigate through these encounters and provide much-needed perspective. In conclusion, these questions address two distinct topics: the first deals with perceived mean behavior from the AI, while the second seeks advice on how to handle mean individuals in general.

Would a linguist find the following sentence to be a valid English sentence grammatically? How slowly would you say he was driving? Available choices: a). unacceptable; b). acceptable;

As an AI language model, I will analyze the sentence structure in question. Sentence: "How slowly would you say he was driving?" Step 1: Identify the main clauses and phrases Here, we have two main clauses and an adverbial phrase: - "would you say" (main clause) - "he was driving" (main clause) - "How slowly" (adverbial phrase) Step 2: Review subject-verb agreement The subject-verb agreement is correct in the two main clauses: - "you" (subject) with "would say" (verb) - "he" (subject) with "was driving" (verb) Step 3: Consider sentence cohesion The subject "you" is the referent for the verb "would say," while "he" is the referent for "was driving." The adverbial phrase "How slowly" modifies "was driving" to indicate the speed. Step 4: Confirm grammatical correctness The sentence follows grammatical rules, with the correct subject-verb agreement and clause structure. The adverbial phrase adds more information to the sentence without disrupting the overall syntactical structure. Conclusion: Based on the analysis, the sentence is grammatically correct, so the answer is: b). acceptable

Question: Read the following context and choose the correct option to answer the question. Context: I was fencing wire at Flat Broke Acres and trying to tighten up the wire a bit. I lost the grip of the fencing wire and the pliers smacked me in the mouth. This is what I hit myself in the mouth with. The curved end glance off my left front central incisor. It hurt some, my lips were lacerated, I scared my wife when I came in to take a look at it in the mirror but the pain to come was far worse. Tooth was intact thank goodness and was a bit wobbly and I said to myself yup, this could be a problem. A month or two later I hit it again when I was putting a portable step fence panel in the bed of the truck and it bounced and split the bridge of my nose and hit the tooth again. did not break or get displaced. Thank goodness I have a particularly thick head. Tooth trauma is a strange thing. It can blow up anywhere up to a year later. So almost 6 months later I was flying to a meeting in Orlando and of course the tooth decided to react to changes in atmospheric pressure just so I could experience the exquisite pain of barodontalgia. Kind of pain that makes you want to pry the top of your head off with a pitchfork because it would take your mind off the pain. Problem was it did not resolve after landing or anytime during the 4 days I was at the meeting. A combo regimen of acetaminophen and ibuprofen manage the pain well enough until I could get home and have it seen to. Pain did not end but the Xray showed no fracture or endodontic lesion. Strange. Then as suddenly as it occurred, the pain ceased. Strange x 2. Snapped another film and there was no pathology. Tooth was vital on pulp testing. So I did nothing more. I chalked it up to it being a karmic reminder about patients and dental pain as I’ve never had a cavity let alone a dental abscess. It let me feel your pain. Question: The narrator split the bridge of their nose: Options: - before flying to Orlando - after experiencing tooth pain - not enough information - after receiving X-rays Answer:

The narrator split the bridge of their nose before flying to Orlando.

Use reasoning to lead to the answer of the following question: Where would you find fungus growing on something made from milk? Options: - eyes - biology laboratory - shower stall - old cheese - decaying matter Reasoning process:

Fungus requires a suitable environment to grow, which typically includes organic material or substrates it can feed on, along with appropriate temperature and humidity conditions. Let's analyze each option to determine which context is most likely to meet these requirements for fungus to grow on something made from milk: 1. Eyes: The human eye is an unlikely environment for fungi to grow due to its high movement, sterile environment, and lack of nutrients. It does not involve anything made from milk. 2. Biology laboratory: A biology lab often contains many living organisms, including fungi, which are studied for various scientific purposes. However, there is no specific mention of milk products used in the lab, so we cannot conclude that milk-based fungus would be found there. 3. Shower stall: Although shower stalls provide an environment conducive to fungal growth due to high humidity and moisture, there is no inherent connection to milk products. Hence, it is unlikely to find fungi growing on something made from milk in a shower stall. 4. Old cheese: Old cheese is created from milk through a process of fermentation and aging. Over time, several types of fungi can grow on the surface or within the cheese, contributing to its flavors and textures. Since old cheese is made from milk and provides the necessary substrate and environmental conditions for fungal growth, it is a suitable option. 5. Decaying matter: Fungi often thrive on decaying matter, breaking down organic materials to obtain nutrients. While this option is applicable to fungal growth in general, it does not specifically address the requirement of the substrate being made from milk. Based on the reasoning process, you would most likely find fungus growing on something made from milk in "old cheese" option, as it is the only one that provides a suitable substrate (made from milk) and environment for fungal growth.

Problem: Solve -66*f + 251 + 527 = 118 for f. And the answer is...

Alright little buddy, let's solve this math problem step by step. The problem says: -66 * f + 251 + 527 = 118 First, let's add the numbers 251 and 527 together. 251 + 527 = 778 So now, our problem looks like this: -66 * f + 778 = 118 Next, we need to get f all by itself. So, let's subtract 778 from both sides of the equation. -66 * f + 778 - 778 = 118 - 778 Now, it looks like this: -66 * f = -660 Almost there! To find the value of f, we need to divide both sides of the equation by -66. (-66 * f) / -66 = -660 / -66 This simplifies to: f = 10 Great job! And the answer is... f = 10!

Cambrian continents are thought to have resulted from the breakup of a Neoproterozoic supercontinent called Pannotia. The waters of the Cambrian period appear to have been widespread and shallow. Continental drift rates may have been anomalously high. Laurentia, Baltica and Siberia remained independent continents following the break-up of the supercontinent of Pannotia. Gondwana started to drift toward the South Pole. Panthalassa covered most of the southern hemisphere, and minor oceans included the Proto-Tethys Ocean, Iapetus Ocean and Khanty Ocean.

In order to carry out this task, we need to break down the original sentence and compare it to the revised sentence. 1. Identify key elements in the original sentence: - "A person": The subject of the action. - "is walking": The action or state. This suggests movement and gives information about the person's activity. - "by the bridge": The location of the action. Here, 'bridge' is a noun usually refers to a structure built to span physical obstacles without closing the path underneath. 2. Compare and contrast to the new sentence: - "A person" is present in both sentences. - "Is outdoors walking": This suggests that the person is indeed outside. In the original sentence, the location of the bridge doesn't specify whether it's indoors or outdoors. However, traditionally, bridges are outdoor structures. - "by a large man made object": This sentence infers that a bridge is a large man-made object, which is true in most contexts. So, yes, the sentence "A person is walking by the bridge." does imply that "A person is outdoors walking by a large man-made object". While the original sentence doesn't explicitly mention that the person is outdoors or that the bridge is a large man-made object, it can be inferred based on commonly known concepts of what a typical bridge is and where it's located.

Swaay is the debut EP by American band DNCE. The EP was released worldwide on October 23, 2015, by Republic Records. The majority of the EP was co-produced and co-written by lead singer and frontman Joe Jonas. The EP debuted at number 39 on the US "Billboard" 200. Can we draw the following conclusion? Swaay has been sung by Clinton.

No, little one, we cannot say that Swaay has been sung by Clinton. Here's why: Swaay is the first small music album (called an EP) by a group of musicians who call themselves DNCE. They shared their music with everyone on October 23, 2015. Joe Jonas - he's one of the singers - helped make a lot of the songs. This music album was liked by many people, and it got a good place (number 39) in a big list of famous music called "Billboard" 200. But, Clinton is not mentioned here, so we don't know if Clinton sang in Swaay. From what we know, Swaay was sung by the band DNCE, not by someone named Clinton.

Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: Are you feeling blue? An American study suggests that being surrounded by happy friends and neighbours could have more of an effect on your happiness than money.That is the finding of researchers from Harvard University and the University of California at San Diego. Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler studied the emotional health of more than 4,700 people.They used information from the Framingham Heart Study.That study began sixty years ago in the American community of Framingham.Massachusetts.It was started to learn more about the risks of heart attack and stroke. For the new study,the researchers examined the emotions of the men and women in the Framingham Heart Study.The information was gathered from 1983 to 2003. The researchers found that friends of happy people had a greater chance of being happy themselves.That means that happiness spreads,or has a contagious effect,among people.And,the smaller the physical distance between friends,the larger the effect they had on each other's happiness. Sadness was also contagious among friends,but not as much as happiness.The researchers say social groups did not influence happiness as much as personal situations. However,people removed by as much as three degrees of separation still had an effect on one's happiness.The expression three degrees of separation means the friends of an individual's friends. In fact,persons with three degrees of separation had a greater effect on an individual's happiness than having five thousand dollars.The researchers say the study is historic because it shows that social effects on health can be spread among people. Another finding is that people who work together or are married do not have as much of an effect on happiness levels as friends.The researchers say this is often true among friends of the same sex.

Which of the following statements is true about the effect of friends on happiness according to the study? A. Being surrounded by happy friends has a smaller effect on happiness than money. B. Friends of happy people have a greater chance of being happy themselves. C. People who work together have a larger effect on happiness levels than friends. D. Social groups have more influence on happiness than personal situations.

To generate a question about MP3, first, I would consider what aspect I'd like to inquire about. MP3 is a common audio format, highly recognizable by people. It could relate to the technical side of MP3, historical development, or its usage. For a good balance of general knowledge and technical understanding, I might ask: "How does MP3 compression reduce the file size of audio data without significantly downgrading the perceptible audio quality?" This question is chosen because it covers both the technical aspect of MP3 files (how they work) and has practical implications (impact on audio quality).

Could you please come up with a good question for the passage "Some Western writers claim that the immaculate conception of Mary is a teaching of Islam. Thus, commenting in 1734 on the passage in the Qur'an, "I have called her Mary; and I commend her to thy protection, and also her issue, against Satan driven away with stones", George Sale stated: "It is not improbable that the pretended immaculate conception of the virgin Mary is intimated in this passage. For according to a tradition of Mohammed, every person that comes into the world, is touched at his birth by the devil, and therefore cries out, Mary and her son only excepted; between whom, and the evil spirit God placed a veil, so that his touch did not reach them. And for this reason they say, neither of them were guilty of any sin, like the rest of the children of Adam.""? The answer is:

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. As a result of Henry's victories, such as the Battle of Agincourt, many high-status prisoners were held in the Tower of London until they were ransomed.Much of the latter half of the 15th century was occupied by the Wars of the Roses between the claimants to the throne, the houses of Lancaster and York. The castle was once again besieged in 1460, this time by a Yorkist force. The Tower was damaged by artillery fire but only surrendered when Henry VI was captured at the Battle of Northampton. With the help of Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick (nicknamed "the Kingmaker")... A:

The full name of the location where Richard II began his procession in 1377 is the Tower of London. The procession took place from the Tower of London to Westminster Abbey.

Imagine if two kids both wanted the same toy, and they couldn't agree on how to share it. The conflict started a long time ago because both groups believed that the land was special and important to them. For the conflict to end, both Israelis and Palestinians would need to find a way to live together peacefully and share the land. Just like the two kids would need to find a way to share the toy, it requires understanding and cooperation from both sides. As for the multi-choice problem, the answer is: (i). no These two questions are not inquiring about the same information.

Please answer the following question: Title: Could have been better Product review: I had decided to read this book for a book report a while ago. I was mostly inspired by the original plot to read it, however, I was disappointed by the rushed writing and lack of descriptions of characters and locations. Throughout the book, even the main character does not have a distinct age, physical appearance, or personality (unless you own the paperback copy with her on the cover). And although she does have the power of clairvoyance, most of the story is way too predictable. I would recommend this for young children who do not see such points as important, but for older readers, though, I think you should pass this one up. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light? A:

The review depicts the product in an unflattering light. The reviewer expresses disappointment in the writing, lack of descriptions, and predictability of the story, and they only recommend it for young children who may not mind these shortcomings. They advise older readers to pass on the book. Overall, the review presents more negative aspects than positive ones, which creates an unflattering impression of the product.

How do you control your emotions in public? How could I control my emotions and my negative thoughts? Please tell me if those questions are the same. Choose your answer from: i. no; ii. yes;

i. no While these two questions are related, they are not the same. The first question pertains to managing emotions specifically in public settings, whereas the second question focuses on controlling both emotions and negative thoughts in general. To address both concerns, here are some techniques and strategies you can use: 1. For controlling emotions in public: a. Be self-aware: Recognize and pay attention to your feelings and emotions as they arise. By being mindful of your emotional state, you can identify potential triggers and take necessary action to avoid an outburst. b. Practice deep breathing: If you feel overwhelmed by emotion, take a moment to breathe deeply and slowly. This will help to calm your nervous system and lower your heart rate, allowing you to regain control of your emotions. c. Develop a "poker face": Practice maintaining a neutral facial expression when you're feeling strong emotions. This can prevent others from noticing your emotional state, giving you more privacy to process and manage your emotions. d. Seek emotional support: Form a support system of trusted friends or family members with whom you can discuss your issues and emotional reactions privately. This way, you will not feel compelled to express your emotions publicly. 2. For controlling emotions and negative thoughts in general: a. Cognitive restructuring: This is a technique used in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help individuals identify and replace negative thinking patterns with more rational and positive ones. This process involves challenging negative thoughts, evaluating their accuracy, and generating alternative thoughts or beliefs. b. Mindfulness meditation: Practice mindfulness techniques to become more present in the moment and aware of your emotions and thoughts as they arise. This practice can help you accept your emotions without judgment and develop healthier coping mechanisms. c. Reassess your expectations: Recognize that it's normal to feel a wide range of emotions, and not every situation will go as planned. By managing unrealistic expectations and understanding that setbacks and negative emotions are a natural part of life, you can better cope with these feelings when they arise. d. Develop healthy outlets for your emotions: Engage in activities that you enjoy or that help you process and release pent-up emotions, such as exercise, journaling, creative arts, or talking with a trusted friend or therapist. e. Practice self-compassion: Be kind to yourself and remember that everyone experiences negative emotions and thoughts from time to time. Don't judge yourself harshly for having them; instead, try to learn and grow from these experiences. By combining the approaches for controlling emotions in public and managing negative thoughts overall, you can build resilience and improve your emotional well-being. Remember that it takes time and practice, so be patient with yourself as you work on these skills.

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.

Write an article based on this summary: 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!
