Please parse the following - Associazione Sportiva Roma (BIT: ASR, LSE: 0MT1; Rome Sport Association), commonly referred to as Roma (Italian pronunciation: [ˈroːma]), is an Italian professional football club based in Rome. Founded by a merger in 1927, Roma have participated in the top-tier of Italian football for all of their existence except for the 1951–52 season. Roma have won Serie A three times, in 1941–42, 1982–83 and 2000–01, as well as nine Coppa Italia titles and two Supercoppa Italiana titles. In European competitions, Roma has won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1960–61 and were runners-up in the 1983–84 European Cup and the 1990–91 UEFA Cup.

Fifteen players have won the FIFA World Cup while playing at Roma: Attilio Ferraris and Enrique Guaita (1934); Guido Masetti and Eraldo Monzeglio (1934 and 1938); Aldo Donati and Pietro Serantoni (1938); Bruno Conti (1982); Rudi Voller and Thomas Berthold (1990); Aldair (1994); Vincent Candela (1998); Cafu (2002); Daniele De Rossi, Simone Perrotta and Francesco Totti (2006).

Since 1953, Roma have played their home matches at the Stadio Olimpico, a venue they share with city rivals Lazio. With a capacity of over 72,000, it is the second-largest of its kind in Italy, with only the San Siro able to seat more. The club plan to move to a new stadium, though it is yet to start construction. Having a strong local rivalry, Roma and Lazio contest Derby della Capitale.

The club's home colours are carmine red and golden yellow, which gives Roma their nickname "I Giallorossi" ("The Yellow and Reds"). These colours have often been combined with white shorts. Their club badge features a she-wolf, an allusion to the founding myth of Rome.

[User] I would like to know how Uber company started. Can you tell me?

[Assistant]
Sure. Uber was founded by Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick in 2009. The goal was to provide a convenient option for passengers to get a car in locations with few taxi options by connecting passengers to car owners. There are many accounts of how Uber works, but from the official Uber website:

-Any car owner can join Uber for a one-time fee, and list their car on the Uber platform

-Uber reviews each car, and checks that the owner and vehicle meet their safety standards

-Uber passengers and car owners are connected when a passenger requests a car through the Uber app

-The passenger gets a private, fully-insured ride from a vetted Uber driver

-The car owner receives an approved wage to cover their expenses

-Uber claims this matches price-per-mile levels of taxis, so that both passengers and drivers get a great deal

-It can take minutes to find a car using Uber once passengers request a ride, and there's never a need to tip

-In urban areas, most Uber rides take 10 minutes or less

-In addition, there's no insurance paperwork, no signing-up for a membership, no waiting for taxis.  Uber can expand services to even the smallest, most rural towns

[User] If I wanted to make boric acid based ant bait at home, what ingredients would I need and which process should I take to make the bait?

[Assistant]
Pyrethrin is an appropriate active ingredient for ant bait, and you can easily mix it with boric acid to make a pesticide.  Here are instructions for doing this:

Boric acid is useful for many pest control applications. For example, it’s helpful in getting rid of pests like cockroaches and ants. Here’s how boric acid and pyrethrin can be used to control these bothersome bugs:

•  Mix 4 g of pyrethrum with 100 g of boric acid to kill ants. For cockroach poison, use the same ratio, except substitute boric acid with acetic acid.

•  Powder the pyrethrum and combine it with boric acid by mixing 3 g of pyrethrum into 94 g of boric acid.  Be sure to wear heavy-duty gloves and a respirator when working with pesticides. Store extra boric acid bait in a cool, dry, dark place.

You could also put a crushed bar of soap in the middle of your bait or place a layer of carbon steel wool at the bottom of the ant hole.

Boric acid is ineffective against ants that have already found their way into the house.

[User] What are the best horror movies of all times? I want super scary ones that rattle my bones

[Assistant]
Ah, excellent question!  Here are my top recommendations for the best horror movies:

-  The Exorcist (1973) - a truly terrifying movie about demonic possession, starring Ellen Burstyn and Max von Sydow.  Highly recommended!
-  The Thing (1982) - an atmospheric movie about an alien organism that starts assimilating members of a remote Antarctic research base.  Starring Kurt Russell anddirected by John Carpenter.
-  Silence of the Lambs (1991) - this masterpiece of disturbing and disturbing terror stars Jodie Foster as an FBI trainee tasked with interrogating a deranged serial killer.  Directed by Jonathan Demme.
-  The Shining (1980) - an iconic film about a family that gets trapped in an isolated hotel, where the father slowly descends into violent madness.  Starring Jack Nicholson and directed by Stanley Kubrick.
-  The Ring (2002) - a creepy little low-budget horror movie about a mysterious videotape that brings terrible death to all who watch it.  Directed by Gore Verbinski.
-  The Babadook (2014) - a deeply disturbing psychological horror film about a mother struggling to cope with the disturbing behaviors of her son, who is possessed by a terrifying monster.
-  The Blair Witch Project (1999) - this low-budget horror film pioneered the "found footage" subgenre, with two student filmmakers becoming hopelessly lost in the woods while searching for a mythical witch.  Directed by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez.
Hope this helps!  I would also strongly recommend watching some of these movies, as I find they are deeply unsettling and an excellent source of frightening entertainment.  Enjoy!

[User] I like to host guests at my home from time to time, and I am gathering  recipes of different dishes and drinks to keep things interesting. I am interested in trying some Belgium dishes. Can you give me a recipe for Lapin aux Pruneaux?

[Assistant]
Sure! In this recipe the prunes are the only thing that has been removed from a lapin à la moutarde, or “hare with mustard”. Here’s a step by step guide on how to make this at home:

Heat the oven to 200°C/392°F/gas mark 6. Remove all the hare’s fur, and give it a good wash with cold water. Place it in a deep baking dish, then add some salt and pepper. Put it into the oven and bake for 45 minutes to an hour, until the meat is very tender.

Meanwhile, put the prunes in a pan with some water and sugar, and cook them over a low heat for 10 minutes or until they are softened.

Once the hare has been cooking in the oven, deglaze the pan in which the prunes have been cooking by pouring in some white wine and stirring it with a wooden spoon. Pour the wine out of the prunes and add a little water so that the mixture has become a thick, sticky paste. Finally, add some water to the pan with the hare, and stir in the prunes to the hare’s cooking juices. Put the hare back into the oven, and cook it for a further ten minutes.

Remove the hare from the oven, and cover it with a large, flat piece of lettuce. Set the hare onto a serving platter and pour some of the thick sauce over it. Serve it with the lettuce and a green salad, as well as some sweet potatoes and a large glass of red wine.

Ants may be invasive when they travel into homes to find food. Ants feed on the insects and other small creatures that live in your home, but also on food. If you get ants in your home, they can be a little bit harder to get rid of because they feed on all the food you put out.

[User] How can a woman prepare to become a mom and give birth to a healthy baby? Please be concise.

[Assistant] From the moment of conception, it is ideal for a mother's health and nutrition to be in optimal shape for the health and development of the baby. For this reason, during pregnancy, it is important for women to eat a balanced and healthy diet including plenty of vegetables and fruits, protein, and healthy fats; limit caffeine and alcohol consumption; get regular exercise and rest; and maintain a healthy weight throughout the pregnancy. To ensure a successful birth, it is important to prepare for the experience, learn about it, and carefully research the providers and facilities you are considering. For example, it is important to choose a hospital or birthing center and providers with adequate experience and a high success rate for vaginal deliveries and that has facilities and techniques in place to deal with emergency situations, and to prepare for the experience of giving birth. In terms of specific physical preparations, having regular prenatal check-ups, attending prenatal classes, exercising regularly during pregnancy, gaining the right amount of weight during pregnancy, and creating a birth plan with your partners are all important for a healthy pregnancy and birth experience. An active support network or birth team including trusted partners and friends, close family, and health professionals with a history of positive experiences and outcomes will also be very valuable for every pregnant woman

[Assistant]
Sure, I’ll explain a bit about the necessary credentials, and then give you some tips on how to work towards getting your pilot’s license. Here goes:

First, it’s a good idea to think about why you want to do this. Are you simply interested in the planes and flying, or do you want to become a pilot? If it’s the former, there are plenty of planes to see and observe, which could be a good hobby for you. However, if you want to become a pilot, you’ll need to consider how long it might take to get there, and if you’re okay with that. Also you’ll need to think about the costs associated with the training.

If you want to pursue this, then one of the first things you’ll want to do is become an airline transport pilot, or ATPL. This involves taking a written test, earning your flight hours, and passing an oral exam. It’s possible to do that on your own, but if you don’t already know how to fly planes, or don’t have a lot of money to invest in aviation, it may be better to consider learning the required skills as part of an institution that provides training, such

Concerning letting them pile up, it’s important not to let this occur too often, because letting dirty dishes sit for long periods can also lead to the growth of harmful germs.  Overall, the best approach is usually somewhere in the middle: try to aim to wash dishes as soon as they are used, and keep a reasonable working stack of dirty dishes, without letting them pile up too much.

[User] Hi, I'd like to sell my old vinyl records on eBay. How do I do that?

[Assistant] Well you need to make a category for them in eBay, and a description for each one.  You can also upload pictures of the items, and write a description for each picture.  It might be nice to have some information about how old the records are, and perhaps you can rate them with a score.  You can also, for example, enter other information like price, condition, size, and whether they're in perfect condition or not.  See here for more information about what eBay considers “Seller’s Marks” -- that’s what you can say in your description of what each record is, and it's all entirely optional: http://help.ebay.com/customer/mail-thankyou/helpitem.html/29083/Condition-and-Collectibility

[User] What are some things I can use to sweeten coffee besides regular sugar?

[Assistant] I recommend using stevia, agave, or honey as a low-calorie alternative to sugar in your coffee. Stevia is a zero-calorie sweetener that may be similar to sugar in taste and adds a sweet flavor to coffee with little or no additional sugar or calories. Agave is a sweetener derived from a plant cultivated in Mexico, and adds a sweet flavor to coffee while being lower glycemic than sugar, so it does not lead to the same blood glucose spike as regular sugar. Honey is also a low-calorie sweetener that adds a sweet flavor to coffee while providing some benefits for health, such as supporting immune function and promoting cardiovascular health.

[User] What is the easiest second language to learn as an English speaker?

[Assistant] Hmm this is a tricky question, as there are so many different factors that impact the difficulty of learning a language.  However I would say that Spanish is probably the easiest second language to learn for an English speaker, followed by French and then German.  These are generally more similar to English than other languages such as Chinese or Japanese.  Furthermore Spanish and French have more similarities to English than German, and are spoken by many more people worldwide.  So from a purely practical perspective Spanish would probably be your best bet, although of course it is totally subjective and up to you to decide what language you would prefer to learn!  Anyway I hope this helps, let me know if you have any further questions.  Good luck with your language studies!

In contrast, one can also live directly through their own experiences and actions, rather than through an intermediary or representation.

[User] How can you get your feet to stop stinking?

[Assistant] This is a common problem for many people, and there are a number of strategies that can be useful for addressing foot odor.  Chief among these is proper foot hygiene and regular care of the feet, such as regular washing with soap and water, avoidance of perspiration buildup in shoes and socks, and dry brushing of the feet to remove dead skin cells.  In some cases, topical ointments and anti-perspirant foot spray may also be helpful.  Beyond this, certain foods and beverages can also have a significant impact on foot odor, and it is best to avoid or reduce consumption of items containing high levels of odor-producing compounds such as garlic, onions, coffee, and other strongly-scented foods and beverages.  In addition, avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture and keeping feet dry is important, as is regular nail trimming.  In some cases, professional foot care products and procedures may also be helpful for addressing more severe foot odor issues.

-  Manage your passwords so you’re not automatically logged in
-  Delete social media apps from your phone
-  Leave your phone somewhere else when you’re not using it
-  Only use a single social media platform at a time
-  Block certain social media apps from being installed on your phone

Multiple research studies have found that the more social media time young people spend, the higher their levels of stress, anxiety, and depression.  It may be a good idea to drastically cut the time spent on social media each day and adopt healthier ways of spending that time.

[User] Can you tell me how to get a pilot's license?

[Assistant]
Sure, I’ll explain a bit about the necessary credentials, and then give you some tips on how to work towards getting your pilot’s license. Here goes:

First, it’s a good idea to think about why you want to do this. Are you simply interested in the planes and flying, or do you want to become a pilot? If it’s the former, there are plenty of planes to see and observe, which could be a good hobby for you. However, if you want to become a pilot, you’ll need to consider how long it might take to get there, and if you’re okay with that. Also you’ll need to think about the costs associated with the training.

If you want to pursue this, then one of the first things you’ll want to do is become an airline transport pilot, or ATPL. This involves taking a written test, earning your flight hours, and passing an oral exam. It’s possible to do that on your own, but if you don’t already know how to fly planes, or don’t have a lot of money to invest in aviation, it may be better to consider learning the required skills as part of an institution that provides training, such

Some people are having trouble taking them consistently, and find they like to “pre-dose” for the next few days, and then take a break.

[Assistant] "In moderation" is a typical term to denote not overindulging or overdoing something, so generally speaking one or two cups of coffee per day would fall under the category of "in moderation".  Coffee is generally considered a healthy food and beverage drink, and daily coffee consumption of up to 4 cups per day has been shown to have positive health effects, although extremely heavy coffee consumption (over 10 cups per day) may have negative health effects.  Overall, there is no specific medical guideline for the exact amount of daily coffee consumption that should fall under the category of "in moderation".  I hope this is helpful to you!

[Assistant]
Thank you for this interesting question!  There are a variety of treatments for snake bite, and the key is to avoid excessive loss of body fluids, and reduce the spread of the venom through the body.  Here are the most important steps in treatment:

1) Apply a constricting band approximately 2-3 inches above the bite site to prevent blood flow.
2) Immobilize the limb to prevent further spreading of the venom.
3)Clean area with soap and water.
4) Apply a pressure bandage to the bite area and loosen the tourniquet every 15 minutes.
5) Transport the patient to the hospital as quickly as possible.
6) Give the patient an antitoxin, which is an anti-venom serum that neutralizes the effects of snake toxins.
7) Keep the patient calm, provide oxygen if necessary, and monitor vital signs.

However, in the absence of specialized medical facilities it is absolutely essential to quickly transport the patient to the hospital, where further treatment will be provided.  In summary, the key steps in treating a snake bite are to avoid excessive loss of body fluids and to reduce the spread of the venom.  I hope this helps!  Best of luck!

The first references to guns in Europe, dating from the 12th century, are in connection with the history of Venice.” The book says that for more than a century before the 13th century, weapons “were made by welders and blacksmiths, in many cases, it is said, to order.”

There are many different steps to write better creative stories. Here are a few things to help improve your writing skills:

First, set clear standards for your writing. For example, you might sit down and write a set number of words per day or set a strict deadline for finishing a chapter. This will help you stay on-task and become more disciplined in your posture as a writer.

Build strong details into your writing. It helps to remember that a good creative writing includes vivid, clear descriptions. Don't be afraid to fill up the page with interesting descriptions of people, places and actions, at the risk of overcrowding it.

Don't be afraid to experiment with your style. Let your emotions guide your sentences, and embody the scenes that you write. Let your words bleed onto the page. Often, it helps to write first thing in the morning when you are still in your dreams.

Ask for feedback from someone else. You are not your own best audience, so ask a friend or trusted family member or coworker for help. Ask them for constructive comments about your writing and use those comments to get better at your craft.

When you cut your hair, very short lengths grow back quickly, but the full length of your hair grows very slowly. So, in general, there really isn’t much you can do to grow hair faster, but there are several hair growth supplements on the market that are generally safe to use, if you’re interested in trying those. The main ingredient in most hair growth supplements is biotin, a B vitamin that many researchers believe can help hair grow thicker and stronger. Other ingredients in hair growth supplements include DHT blockers, which are believed to disrupt a hormone in your body known to cause thinner hair, and iron supplements, which are important for vigorous hair and nail growth.

If you get sick with that germ in the future, your body will already have some of these disease-fighting proteins ready to defend you, and you won’t get sick.  This is called “getting vaccinated” or being vaccinated, and it gives you immunity to that disease.

[User] Can you explain to me how twins occur?

[Assistant] In order to have twins, a woman has to get pregnant with two eggs, instead of just one.  This only happens very rarely, and even then it can happen that the two eggs separate and grow into two different fetuses.  If this doesn’t occur at all, then a woman will only give birth to one baby.  There are several other ways a woman could get pregnant with two eggs at once, and these can be spontaneous or they might happen with assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF.  Overall, the chance of infertility treatments like IVF successfully resulting in twins is about 15%.  Most of the time, one of the fertilized eggs will not implant into the uterus, and in rare cases there will be spontaneous twin pregnancies.  In this case we are sure that the woman didn’t receive any fertility treatments, and it’s usually considered such a happy and rare event that many parents will try to have another baby in the hopes of achieving a twin pregnancy!

[User] What mineral is inside a piece of flint?

[Assistant] Possibly quartz, which is silica.  But the answer to this kind of question depends on the specific flint.  It’s not something I’m able to tell you.  But one test you could try is grinding up the flint and then testing the powder for brightness, if it comes out in a bright color, that means it probably has some quartz.  Alternatively you can just start hitting the flint with other pieces of flint to see if you break it down into a bunch of tiny fragments.  Then you could examine the fragments more closely.  I would imagine that if you ground the flint you’d get quite a lot of sand, if the flint is really a piece of quartz.

[User] What does a hard pull on your credit mean?

[Assistant] Do you have a credit card or a loan? If so, a hard pull means that a “hard pull” — in which the credit card or loan company pulls your credit report — was requested.  For example, if someone purchases a big-ticket item with your credit card and then a hard pull on your credit card was requested, it’s possible that the credit card company was suspicious of the person who purchased the item using your credit card.  It’s important to be aware of these requests, because even if you’re not using your credit card, your credit score could still be affected.

[User] What are some cool ideas for some 3D chalk drawings?

[Assistant] Oh, excellent question!  One cool idea to draw in chalk is to use a two-dimensional pattern of lines, and then draw all the lines along that pattern in 3D -- but such that they all radiate outward from a single focal point.  You can start by drawing some concentric rings that emanate from a single point, perhaps with a smaller circle inside a larger circle, and then use that simple pattern to add more lines, such that the lines seem to spin around the point.  Another excellent idea to draw in chalk is to think about objects that naturally grow in 3D, and then draw free-hand versions of those objects.  For example, you could try to draw a tree or a flower, and even if you don’t have the exact same size and shape, you should be able to draw some elements of those objects, such that it appears to “grow” in 3D space.  There are lots of other favorite ideas for drawing in 3D chalk, like drawing objects in motion, or drawing an entire cartoon-like scene, but these are a few of the most popular techniques!  Good luck!

I would also recommend wearing loose, light, and breathable clothing when outdoors during hot and humid periods, avoiding wasteful use of HVAC during these periods, and taking frequent breaks to rest in air-conditioned areas. Finally, enjoy time outside with other active and enjoyable activities, and practice plenty of shade and water breaks during direct sunlight to stay hydrated and healthy.

[User] Can you tell me the plot of the movie Spiderman?

[Assistant]
Of course, the plot of the film revolves around Peter Parker, a young man who is bitten by a radioactive spider and subsequently develops amazing superpowers after the sudden death of his uncle, including enhanced strength and agility as well as the ability to cling to walls and shoot electrically charged webs from his wrists.  As Peter grows into these powers, he learns that he must use them for the greater good, and he subsequently becomes a hero for the people of New York City, fighting against various evil and corrupted super-villains who threaten the public safety.  Towards the climax of the film, he becomes determined to fight the powerful Green Goblin, a costumed madman who is responsible for the tragic demise of his uncle, and he ultimately overcomes his greatest adversary through personal perseverance and the support of his closest friends and partners.

In the sequels to this film, Peter Parker continues to develop his secret identity as Spiderman and takes on numerous new personas and foes, including the super-powered arch-villain Venom and the cunning and immortality-seeking Green Goblin.  After several years of Spiderman adventures, Peter subsequently retires his famous alter-ego and begins a new life with his then-

Many corals also have tentacles, so they’ll sometimes go out to hunt for plankton.  But most of the time, the coral can get all the food it needs by photosynthesizing, or by eating what’s already attached to its body.

[User] how can i relocate a bee hive?

[Assistant]
There are two basic ways to move a bee hive, the more time-consuming and riskier is to move the hive body, the top part of the hive that contains the comb and brood.  It’s called “supering” the hive, and it’s done by putting a sheet of plywood or something similar on top of the hive body, then just sliding the whole thing to its new location.  This is dangerous because it is easy for bees to fly into the super, and since the bees get less oxygen inside the super, it can be difficult for them to stay alive during the move.

In some cases, moving the hive body can be necessary if there is very little room to expand.  Most people, though, just place a new box next to the old one, so the bees can move into the new box when they are ready.

[User] I'm learning archery for the first time, and I'm wondering if there's anything I should practice or prepare for.

[Assistant]
That's a great question! While anyone can generally pick up archery and have fun, it is definitely a lifelong pursuit and practice is required to really develop skills. Here are a few general mental skills and techniques to consider:

- Technique and form - For proper technique, it's important to learn how to draw and hold the bow properly so as to maintain your a strong body and have maximum accuracy.  Proper stance is also important to focus your bow position, while keeping your body, arm and arrow straight. Equally important, is the aim, focusing your visual center on the target.  These skills are developed slowly and with practice.
- Breath control - Mastery of proper breath control is essential to smooth, deliberate shooting and aiming.  Striking a target with precision is more than simply aiming by sight. Composure, awareness, and focus are key too. Equally important is managing your emotional state to stay calm, steady and relaxed while shooting.  The simple techniques of breathing, focusing and relaxing are easily adapted to improve your archery practice.
- Mental preparation - Athletic pursuits such as archery are also strongly mental, requiring mental strategies to stay focused, relaxed, confident and put your best effort in each shot

If you are very dehydrated, you need to see a doctor immediately. They will give you an IV or an injection of fluids to replace the water and salts that you are lacking. You should also drink plenty of fluids after dehydration, to make up for the water that you lost.

Alternatively, you could try hammering the coconut shell -- this is more difficult, but you can see a video here showing you how to do it. You can also use a few different knives with varying degrees of difficulty -- a vegetable peeler, a sharp knife, or even a hammer and a screwdriver. Of all these options, I think the easiest, safest, and most efficient method would definitely be the coconut opener.

[User] The heart pumps blood around the body through a system of tubes called blood vessels. Which blood vessels carry blood back to the heart?

[Assistant] Ah yes, the heart is the organ that pumps blood, and the major blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart are the veins.  The vast majority of blood in the body is carried back to the heart in the superior and inferior vena cava veins, which originate in the upper and lower parts of the chest cavity, respectively.  Venous blood from the limbs and other parts of the body also returns to the heart via the axillary, brachial, basilic, and subclavian veins.  In addition to the veins, the lungs play an important role in returning oxygenated blood back to the heart.  The pulmonary artery transports oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart, while the pulmonary veins carry deoxygenated blood from the heart back to the lungs.  In total, there are about 3,500 miles of blood vessels in the human body, with thousands of gallons of blood flowing continuously around the body in a complex and harmonious system.  Excellent question!

Lagers tend to be crisp and refreshing, while ales tend to be more flavorful and interesting. Both of these qualities are probably due to the yeasts used, and the temperature and age at which the beer was brewed.

Forty years ago, Randy Rhoads died in a plane crash while on tour with Ozzy Osbourne in Florida. The classically trained metal guitarist was only 25 years old when he died, and had only come onto the scene recently as the guitarist and co-songwriter for Osbourne's first two solo albums. Yet he left behind an incredible, indelible legacy thanks to his lightning-speed, virtuosic soloing, which helped define the ‘80s metal sound and influenced guitarists for decades to come. In fact, just last year, Rhoads was posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Rhoads’s pal Rudy Sarzo, who played with the legend in the late-‘70s, pre-fame Quiet Riot lineup and was recruited by Rhoads to play bass for Osbourne in 1981 — and was present at the crash and nearly boarded the plane that day — has had a major part in keeping his late bandmate’s legacy alive for decades. He even wrote a book, Off the Rails: Aboard the Crazy Train in the Blizzard of Ozz about his bond with the guitar god.

“There’s a reason why I wrote the book,” Sarzo tells Yahoo Entertainment. “I wrote it because I have to go back. Sometimes I go back as a spectator, and that way, I avoid feeling the pain again. I go back and I actually see myself in the place at the moment, but I'm disconnected from it, because it’s like I'm watching myself go through this. But for this [Yahoo interview], I had to go in as myself, rather than as a witness. But it is my choice to do that — because it is very important that I am able to convey the emotion of what happened that day.”

Can you summarize this in a professional and concise way?

[Assistant] Sure, I will summarize by stating that Randy Rhoads was a classically trained metal guitarist who achieved brief fame with the Osbourne band and then tragically passed away in a plane crash in Florida at the young age of twenty-five. Yet Randy Rhoads’s extraordinary musical talent and impactful innovations in metal guitar technique have left a lasting legacy, becoming an inspiration to subsequent generations of musicians.  Due in large part to the efforts and recollections of his friend and former bandmate Rudy Sarzo, Randy Rhoads’s life and legacy are being commemorated and celebrated to this day.

[User] Will you create an outline for an essay about safety in the kitchen? I want some of the main points to be about knife safety, how to put a grease fire out, ways to prevent burns, and food safety.

[Assistant]
Sure, here’s a draft outline for your essay:

Introduction: Safety is very important in the kitchen, and there are many things you should be careful about.  In this essay I’ll discuss some of the most important safety issues in the kitchen, including knife safety, food safety, and how to avoid burn injuries.

Body:

-Knife safety – Always wash and dry your knives carefully before and after use.  Never put a dirty knife in the dishwasher, or leave it lying on the counter - it could cause serious injuries.  Never leave knives out where children can reach them.  Never try to cut something while the blade is moving, and never pass knives to other people while the blades are facing towards them.  Always cut away from your body, and cut food across the grain rather than with it.  Don’t cut thin things on a hard surface, and hold a sharp knife with two hands.

-How to put out a grease fire – A grease fire is very dangerous and can cause serious injuries.  If you have a grease fire, first turn off the heat and pull the pot or pan off the stove.  Then fill a lid or saucepan with cold water and use it to smother the flames.  Be careful not to get burned, and always keep a lid or a fire extinguisher nearby in case of a grease fire.

-How to prevent burns – It’s important to be careful while cooking, so that you don’t accidentally get burned.  Always use a pot holder or oven mitt when taking things out of the oven or off the stove, and never leave the kitchen while there’s food cooking on the stove.  Don’t let children run around while you’re cooking, and keep extinguishers and fire escape plans near the kitchen.  In general, it’s a good idea to be careful anytime you’re using a hot stove or oven.

-Food safety – It’s very important to properly handle and store food to prevent contamination and illness.  Keep your counters and kitchen surfaces clean and sanitized at all times, and always wash your hands before eating or handling food.  Milk, meat, and eggs should be kept in the refrigerator, and always go through the food you buy and throw out any that looks or smells spoiled.  Never eat raw or undercooked eggs, meat, fish, or shellfish.  Finally, always check moldy bread, and throw it away if any mold is visible.  Proper food safety is very important to keep your family healthy.

Conclusion: Safety is very important in the kitchen, and there are many things you should be careful about.  It’s important to prevent kitchen accidents, and to properly handle and store food to prevent illness.  By being careful and practicing good safety habits in the kitchen, you can keep your family safe and enjoy safe, delicious meals.
