The Justice Department on Wednesday announced the largest international takedown of an online criminal hackers’ forum, an illicit Web site for the trafficking of tools and talent.
Over a 24-hour period, officials said, authorities in the United States and 19 other countries jointly shut down Darkode, the world’s most sophisticated English-language Internet forum for criminal hackers.
During Operation Shrouded Horizon, the FBI infiltrated Darkode at high levels and began gathering evidence and intelligence on members, officials said.
“Through this operation, we have dismantled a cyber hornets’ nest of criminal hackers which was believed by many, including the hackers themselves, to be impenetrable,” said U.S. Attorney David J. Hickton of the Western District of Pennsylvania, whose office handled the joint investigation with the FBI and the department’s criminal division.
Darkode is a tightly controlled, invitation-only digital bazaar in which a prospective member can gain admission only after posting what amounts to a professional résumé of illegal hacking capabilities, Hickton said. It launched in 2008 and has 250 to 300 members, officials said.
The forum offered the means, including exploit kits, botnets, ransomware programs and tools for mass spamming, to attack and commandeer computers. It also offered “zero day” attack tools, which exploit flaws in software that the software makers did not know existed. Hackers describe it as “the best malware marketplace on the Web,” Hickton said. It also sold stolen data — Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, log-in information and passwords.
Darkode members have “compromised millions upon millions of computers, servers, cellphones, bank accounts and social media accounts,” he said, adding that losses to victims in terms of dollars and privacy “have been extreme.” Citing the ongoing investigation, Hickton could not provide a dollar amount.
Law enforcement authorities in the 20 countries arrested, charged or searched 70 Darkode members and associates. The FBI seized Darkode’s domains and servers. In the United States, charges have been filed against 12 people; in all, 28 have been arrested worldwide.
Those charged in the United States include Matjaz Skorjanc, an alleged organizer of the forum who is accused in federal court in the District with racketeering conspiracy and conspiracy to commit wire fraud, bank fraud and computer fraud. He is also accused of selling malware known as the Butterfly bot.
Also charged was Johan Anders Gudmunds of Sollebrunn, Sweden, who is accused of serving as the administrator of Darkode and of designing and selling malicious software that allowed hackers to create botnets.
He was charged in the Western District of Pennsylvania with conspiracy to commit computer fraud, wire fraud and money laundering.
Also charged was Morgan Culbertson, also known as Android, of Pittsburgh, who is accused of designing Dendroid, a coded malware designed to remotely access, control and steal data from Google Android cellphones. The malware was allegedly offered for sale on Darkode.
For $300, “Android” would sell the means to take over a person’s Android cellphone. With it, for instance, one “could take photographs of you remotely, making it look like you took them,” Hickton said. Or, for $65,000, he’d sell the malware code so buyers could adapt it to their own needs.
“Today marks a milestone in our efforts to bring to justice some of the most significant cybercriminals in the world,” said Scott Smith, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh division.
The other countries involved in the takedown were Australia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Israel, Latvia, Macedonia, Nigeria, Romania, Serbia, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Europol, the European Union’s law enforcement agency, also took part.

You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. | Question: Why did Houston's economy have problems in the late 1980's?
Answer: Since the increase of oil prices in the 2000s, the petroleum industry has again increased its share of the local economy.
A single-select problem: Is the question answered in a satisfactory fashion?
(1). yes.
(2). no. | 2. No.
The answer provided does not address the question of why Houston's economy had problems in the late 1980s. The answer only mentions the increase in the petroleum industry's share of the local economy in the 2000s, which is not relevant to the question.
To answer the question, it is important to note that Houston's economy heavily relied on the oil industry in the 1980s. However, during that time, there was a significant drop in oil prices, which led to a decline in the oil industry and subsequently, a decline in Houston's economy. This decline was further exacerbated by the savings and loan crisis, which affected the real estate industry and caused a ripple effect throughout the economy. Additionally, the city's over-reliance on the oil industry made it vulnerable to economic downturns, which highlighted the need for diversification in the city's economy. |

Options: - court house - go to jail - death - appeals - judgement Explain why a human would choose "judgement" to answer the question above:
Answer: | A human would choose "judgement" to answer the question above because passing sentence is a legal term that refers to the act of determining and imposing a punishment or penalty on someone who has been found guilty of a crime. The jury's deliberation involves weighing the evidence presented in court and making a decision based on the facts of the case. The choice of passing sentence requires them to make a judgement about the appropriate punishment for the defendant. Therefore, "judgement" is the correct answer to the question. |

Obama's meeting in Warsaw, Poland, with Ukrainian President-elect Petro Poroshenko can be seen as a sign of U.S. support for the government in Kiev as it battles to quell a pro-Russian separatist uprising in Ukraine's East. Ukrainian authorities claimed Wednesday to have inflicted heavy losses on militant forces in the Donetsk region, at the same time as acknowledging that separatists have now seized two military bases in Luhansk. A separatist leader gave conflicting casualty figures. In remarks at a ceremony to mark the 25th anniversary of Poland's return to democracy, Obama also voiced his backing for Ukraine, and said the United States would stand up for freedom across the region. Poland and former Soviet states "will never stand alone," Obama said. "These are not just words. They are unbreakable commitments backed by the strongest alliance in the world and by the armed forces of the United States of America -- the most powerful military in history." Conflicting accounts in heightened eastern Ukraine fighting. He also vowed to stand with Ukraine, which is not a member of NATO, in the face of Russian "aggression," including its annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region in March. "Ukraine must be free to choose its own future, for itself and by itself," Obama said. "We will not accept Russia's occupation of Crimea or its violation of Ukraine's sovereignty. Our free nations will stand united so that further Russian provocations will only mean more isolation and costs for Russia." Obama, who spoke after Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski at the solemn ceremony in the heart of Warsaw, also paid tribute to the Poles whose struggle for democracy lit a spark for revolutionary change. The 1989 election commemorated Wednesday "was the beginning of the end of communism -- in this country and across Europe," he said. 'Deeply impressed' Addressing reporters earlier alongside Poroshenko, Obama said he was "deeply impressed" by the newly elected leader's vision of what is required to help Ukraine grow. "The challenge now for the international community is to make sure that we are supportive of Petro's efforts, and the United States has already stepped up in a number of ways," he said. Obama said the pair had discussed additional steps the United States can take to help Ukraine through its transition process, including helping to train Ukrainian law enforcement officers and providing more nonlethal aid to its military. Deadly attack on pro-Russian separatists. He also spoke of the need for Ukraine to undertake economic reforms, including steps to reduce its dependence on natural gas supplies from Russia, currently used by Moscow as a means of leverage. Poroshenko, a business magnate seen as pro-European, is due to be sworn in Saturday. He thanked the United States for its support and said the Ukrainian people had shown their solidarity in rejecting Russia's annexation of Crimea. G7 diplomacy. The U.S. President then flew to Brussels, Belgium -- the second stop of his three-nation tour -- for a meeting of the G7 group of industrialized nations. Obama led the international effort to suspend Russia's participation in the world group of economic powers. That suspension resulted in the relocation of this year's planned G8 summit from Sochi, Russia, to Brussels, as the leaders of the G7 nations decided to meet without Russia. Obama suggested Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin could regain the trust "shattered" by Russia's incursion into Ukraine, but only if Moscow plays by the rules and stops destabilizing Ukraine. Putin "has a choice to make" on Ukraine, Obama said, calling on the Russian President to continue to pull back troops from the border with Ukraine, persuade pro-Russian separatists to stand down and back Ukraine's recent presidential election. Obama and Putin are likely to cross paths while both are in France at the end of the week for events to mark the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings, but no formal talks have been announced. Putin told French television station TF1 that he will not "evade" Poroshenko or anyone else. "There will be other guests, and I'm not going to avoid any of them. I will talk with all of them," he said, according to the Kremlin's translation. However, German Chancellor Angela Merkel will meet Putin on the sidelines of the D-Day events Friday for discussions on Ukraine, the German government said. British Prime Minister David Cameron will meet the Russian leader on Thursday night, Downing Street said, adding that their talks will focus on steps Russia can take to de-escalate the crisis. Obama urges Putin to make choice over Ukraine. NATO defense ministers meet. Amid the heightened East-West tensions, NATO defense ministers met Wednesday in Brussels. NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said before meeting it was a timely opportunity "to discuss our shared concerns over Russia's illegal aggression against Ukraine." The alliance has come to the fore in recent weeks as former Soviet states which are now NATO members seek reassurance amid heightened concerns following Russia's annexation of Crimea. Obama on Tuesday announced that he would ask the U.S. Congress for a fund of up to $1 billion to allow for a "European Reassurance Initiative" to bolster the security of NATO allies. This would help the United States undertake increased training exercises, explore the prepositioning of military equipment, and build the capacity of Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine to partner with the United States and NATO. More U.S. Air Force and Army personnel will be rotated through allied countries in central and eastern Europe, Obama said. Recent moves by Russia to withdraw some of its forces from its border with Ukraine have the potential to ease tensions between Moscow and Washington. But administration officials caution a new detente is a long way off. Kiev and the West have said the separatists in Ukraine are coordinated and supplied by Russia, a claim that Moscow denies. Separatists seize Ukraine military bases. The volatile situation in eastern Ukraine appears to have taken a turn for the worse this week. The Ukrainian government claimed Wednesday that more than 300 pro-Russian militants have been killed and at least 500 wounded in ongoing Ukrainian military operations in the towns of Chervoniy Liman and Slovyansk. CNN could not immediately confirm the report. However, Vyacheslav Ponomarev, self-declared mayor of Slovyansk, told CNN that during Tuesday's attack by Ukrainian jets and helicopters, 10 separatist militants had died and 12 were injured. He added in the past three days, three civilians, including a woman, had died in the violence. The authorities also said that separatist fighters had taken over two military bases in Luhansk -- one run by the Border Guard and the other by the National Guard. The Ukrainian Border Guard base on the outskirts of Luhansk city has been evacuated and taken over by pro-Russia separatists, according to the Border Guard website. Ukrainian official: Five militants killed in attack on border guard base in Luhansk. The border guard detachment at the compound, which was badly damaged during 12 hours of clashes Monday, has been relocated to safe place, the Border Guard Service said. The Ukrainian National Guard said Wednesday it had lost control of its base after an attack by "terrorists" that began late Tuesday. Video appeared to show its detachment surrendering to separatists early Wednesday. The National Guard said its troops at the base had been relocated to "a safe place." Three of its men were injured, while six of the attackers were killed, it said. CNN cannot independently confirm the number of casualties. Civilians killed. The loss of the military bases follows a deadly attack Monday on a regional headquarters building in Luhansk that had been taken over by separatists calling themselves the People's Republic of Luhansk. Five women and three men, all of them civilians, were killed in the attack, which Kiev blamed on separatists. A munitions expert who accompanied a CNN crew to the scene, however, said the damage to the building was indicative of an airstrike. Ukraine's President-elect vows vengeance over helicopter attack. The Special Monitoring Mission of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe came to a similar conclusion. It's thought to be the first time that civilians have been killed or injured in an attack by the Ukrainian air force since pro-Russian groups began occupying buildings in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions more than two months ago. The U.N. children's agency, UNICEF, raised concern Tuesday over the plight of children caught up in the violence and urged all groups involved to protect children. Seven children, the youngest age 4, have sustained gunshot and shrapnel injuries in eastern Ukraine since May 9, the agency said, while others in Donetsk have been exposed to violence and terrifying events.

You should describe the task and explain your answer. While answering a multiple choice question, first output the correct answer(s). Then explain why other answers are wrong. Think like you are answering to a five year old. | Here is a goal: To prevent termites from moving from firewood to your home,
Which way makes more sense to accomplish this goal?
Options are: -keep your firewood inside of a guest room. -keep your firewood away from your home. | The best way to prevent termites from moving from firewood to your home is to keep your firewood away from your home. This means you should store your firewood at a distance from your home, preferably at least 20 feet away.
Keeping your firewood inside of a guest room is not a good idea because it can attract termites to your home. Termites can easily move from the firewood to the wooden structure of your home, causing damage and potentially leading to costly repairs.
So, to summarize, the correct answer is to keep your firewood away from your home to prevent termites from moving from firewood to your home. |

If this premise is true, what does that tell us about whether it entails the hypothesis "Equal justice is less likely when public perception is decreased. "? | If the premise "Increased public perception of the legal justice system as successful in providing Equal Justice" is true, it suggests that the public believes that the legal justice system is effective in providing equal justice. However, it does not necessarily imply that if public perception is decreased, equal justice is less likely to be provided.
The hypothesis "Equal justice is less likely when public perception is decreased" is a separate claim that requires additional evidence to support it. It is possible that public perception of the legal justice system could decrease for reasons unrelated to the system's ability to provide equal justice. For example, public perception could decrease due to media coverage of high-profile cases or political rhetoric, rather than any actual change in the legal justice system's ability to provide equal justice.
Therefore, while the premise suggests that the public perceives the legal justice system as successful in providing equal justice, it does not necessarily support the hypothesis that equal justice is less likely when public perception is decreased. Additional evidence would be needed to support or refute that hypothesis. |

Samurai became Shizoku (士族) who retained some of their salaries, but the right to wear a katana in public was eventually abolished along with the right to execute commoners who paid them disrespect. The samurai finally came to an end after hundreds of years of enjoyment of their status, their powers, and their ability to shape the government of Japan. However, the rule of the state by the military class was not yet over. In defining how a modern Japan should be, members of the Meiji government decided to follow the footsteps of the United Kingdom and Germany, basing the country on the concept of noblesse oblige. Samurai were not a political force under the new order. With the Meiji reforms in the late 19th century, the samurai class was abolished, and a western-style national army was established. The Imperial Japanese Armies were conscripted, but many samurai volunteered as soldiers, and many advanced to be trained as officers. Much of the Imperial Army officer class was of samurai origin, and were highly motivated, disciplined, and exceptionally trained.". Can you tell me what it is?
Answer: | The Imperial Army officer who was disciplined, highly motivated, and exceptionally trained, likely used to be able to wear a katana in public, but was no longer allowed to after the samurai class was abolished and a western-style national army was established in Japan during the Meiji reforms in the late 19th century. The samurai class lost their status, powers, and ability to shape the government of Japan, and the Imperial Japanese Armies were conscripted, with many samurai volunteering as soldiers and officers. However, the samurai were no longer a political force under the new order. |

Gary doesn't like biology class at all though and can't find the motivation to look at the cells in detail. In his homework where students are supposed to write what they observed, Gary simply wrote down the first thing he saw under the microscope which was that Cell A is larger than cell B. It won't get him a great grade, but Gary is hoping it will at least get him a pass on the assignment. Which cell has more protrusions? Hint: As a cell grows, its volume increases more quickly than its surface area. If a cell was to get very large, the small surface area would not allow enough nutrients to enter the cell quickly enough for the cell’s needs. This idea is explained in Figure below . However, large cells have a way of dealing with some size challenges. Big cells, such as some white blood cells, often grow more nuclei so that they can supply enough proteins and RNA for the cell’s requirements. Large, metabolically active cells often have lots of cell protrusions, resulting in many folds throughout the membrane. These folds increase the surface area available for transport of materials into or out of the cell. Such cell types are found lining your small intestine, where they absorb nutrients from your food through protrusions called microvilli .
A: | To determine which cell has more protrusions, we need to consider the information provided in the hint. The hint states that large, metabolically active cells often have lots of cell protrusions, resulting in many folds throughout the membrane. These folds increase the surface area available for transport of materials into or out of the cell.
Since Cell A is larger than Cell B, it is possible that Cell A has more protrusions and folds in its membrane, resulting in a larger surface area. This would allow for more efficient transport of materials into and out of the cell.
However, we cannot definitively conclude that Cell A has more protrusions based solely on the information provided by Gary's observation that Cell A is larger than Cell B. To accurately determine which cell has more protrusions, we would need to examine the cells under the microscope and count the number of protrusions present in each cell.
Therefore, without further information or direct observation, we cannot determine which cell has more protrusions. |

This is contrary to the popular identification of Holst with The Planets, which Matthews believes has masked his status as a composer of genuine originality. Against charges of coldness in the music, Imogen cites Holst's characteristic "sweeping modal tunes mov[ing] reassuringly above the steps of a descending bass", while Michael Kennedy points to the 12 Humbert Wolfe settings of 1929, and the 12 Welsh folksong settings for unaccompanied chorus of 1930–31, as works of true warmth.Many of the characteristics that Holst employed — unconventional time signatures, rising and falling scales, ostinato, bitonality and occasional polytonality — set him apart from other English composers. Vaughan Williams remarked that Holst always said in his music what he wished to say, directly and concisely; "He was not afraid of being obvious when the occasion demanded, nor did he hesitate to be remote when remoteness expressed his purpose". Kennedy has surmised that Holst's economy of style was in part a product of the composer's poor health: "the effort of writing it down compelled an artistic economy which some felt was carried too far". However, as an experienced instrumentalist and orchestra member, Holst understood music from the standpoint of his players and made sure that, however challenging, their parts were always practicable. According to his pupil Jane Joseph, Holst fostered in performance "a spirit of practical comradeship ... none could know better than he the boredom possible to a professional player, and the music that rendered boredom impossible". contains an answer for the question: What was the name of the person who did not hesitate to be remote when remoteness expressed his purpose?, what is it ?
A: | The person who did not hesitate to be remote when remoteness expressed his purpose was Gustav Holst. In the article, it is mentioned that Holst's style was often seen as austere and cerebral by his contemporaries, despite his popularity and association with "The Planets." However, Imogen, a critic, defends Holst by highlighting his characteristic "sweeping modal tunes" that move above a descending bass, which she believes adds warmth to his music. Additionally, Michael Kennedy points to Holst's works such as the Humbert Wolfe settings and the Welsh folksong settings as examples of true warmth in his compositions.
Holst's unique style set him apart from other English composers of his time. He incorporated unconventional time signatures, rising and falling scales, ostinato, bitonality, and occasional polytonality into his music. Vaughan Williams, another composer, noted that Holst always expressed what he wanted to say directly and concisely in his music. He was not afraid to be obvious or remote when it served his artistic purpose.
It is suggested in the article that Holst's economy of style may have been influenced by his poor health. The effort of writing down his music compelled him to be artistically economical, which some felt was taken too far. However, as an experienced instrumentalist and orchestra member himself, Holst understood music from the standpoint of his players. He made sure that, although challenging, their parts were always practical and playable. According to one of his pupils, Jane Joseph, Holst fostered a spirit of practical comradeship in performance, understanding the potential boredom that professional players could experience and creating music that rendered boredom impossible.
In conclusion, the person who did not hesitate to be remote when remoteness expressed his purpose was Gustav Holst. His unique style, characterized by simplicity, economy of expression, and unconventional techniques, set him apart from his contemporaries. Despite criticism of coldness in his music, Holst's works were also praised for their warmth and directness. |

If it's un-answerable, please output "No answer". Question: What is Roger Dorn's nature described as that could be termed a struggle? Movie plot title: Major League Movie plot: Former Las Vegas showgirl Rachel Phelps (Margaret Whitton) has inherited the Cleveland Indians baseball team from her deceased husband. Phelps has received a lucrative deal to move the team to Miami, and she aims to trigger the escape clause in the team's contract with Cleveland if season attendance falls below minimum levels. To do this, she replaces their existing players with aging veterans and inexperienced rookies, hoping a bad team will cause attendance to decline. Phelps hires Lou Brown, a former coach from the Toledo Mud Hens to manage the team. During spring training in Tucson, Brown and veteran catcher Jake Taylor discover the new team has a number of interpersonal issues as well as their own struggles with the game, such as the prima donna nature of Roger Dorn, the only player on a long-term contract with the Indians, and the weak arm of veteran pitcher Eddie Harris who is forced to doctor his pitches to stay competitive. The team starts the season on a losing streak. Their rookie pitcher, Ricky Vaughn, has an incredible fastball but with little control, leading him to be called "Wild Thing"; however, by chance, Brown discovers Vaughn has eyesight problems, and when they fit him with glasses, his pitching drastically improves, helping the Indians to a series of wins. The team rallies, bringing the Indians higher in the division standings. Phelps tries to demoralize the team by taking away their luxuries such as a private jet, but the team still holds strong, and appears to have a shot at winning the division. Meanwhile, Taylor finds that his ex-girlfriend Lynn is living in Cleveland, and tries to get her to come back to him even after learning she has become engaged to a new beau. When Phelps' original plan falls through, she decides that she will purposely void the contract, despite the financial penalty, and will move the team to Miami regardless. Donovan relays this to Brown, who informs the team that no matter how well they do, they will be fired after the season. The team succeeds in tying the...
Answer: | In the movie "Major League", Roger Dorn's nature is described as being a prima donna, which could be considered a struggle for the team. Dorn is the only player on a long-term contract with the Indians, and his attitude and behavior cause tension and interpersonal issues within the team. He is portrayed as being selfish and more concerned with his own personal success than the success of the team. This is evident when he refuses to dive for a ground ball during a game, which leads to a loss for the team. Dorn's prima donna nature is a challenge for Lou Brown, the team's coach, as he tries to create a cohesive and successful team. However, as the season progresses, Dorn begins to show more team spirit and becomes a valuable member of the team. |

You must generate a detailed and long answer. | I have a test where I am given the following article, what is an answer for the question: What is the name of the person whose three companies continued under the direction of her appointed successors? ? At first, Baylis presented both drama and opera at each of her theatres. The companies were known as the "Vic-Wells". However, for both aesthetic and financial reasons, by 1934, the Old Vic had become the home of the spoken drama, while Sadler's Wells housed both the opera and a ballet company, the latter co-founded by Baylis and Ninette de Valois in 1930.Lawrance Collingwood joined the company as resident conductor alongside Corri. With the increased number of productions, guest conductors were recruited, including Geoffrey Toye and Anthony Collins. The increasing success of the new ballet company helped to subsidise the high cost of opera productions, enabling a further increase in the size of the orchestra, to 48 players. Among the singers in the opera company were Joan Cross and Edith Coates. In the 1930s, the company presented standard repertoire operas by Mozart, Verdi, Wagner and Puccini, lighter works by Balfe, Donizetti, Offenbach and Johann Strauss, some novelties, among which were operas by Holst, Ethel Smyth and Charles Villiers Stanford, and an unusual attempt at staging an oratorio, Mendelssohn's Elijah.In November 1937, Baylis died of a heart attack. Her three companies continued under the direction of her appointed successors: Tyrone Guthrie at the Old Vic, in overall charge of both theatres, with de Valois running the ballet, and Carey and two colleagues running the opera. In the Second World War, the government requisitioned Sadler's Wells as a refuge for those made homeless by air-raids. Guthrie decided to keep the opera going as a small touring ensemble of 20 performers. Between 1942 and the war's end in 1945, the company toured continuously, visiting 87 venues. Joan Cross led and managed the company, and also sang leading soprano roles in its productions when needed. The size of the company was increased to 50, and then to 80. By 1945, its members included singers from a new generation such as Peter Pears and Owen Brannigan, and the conductor Reginald Goodall.
The answer to this question is: | The name of the person whose three companies continued under the direction of her appointed successors is Lilian Baylis. Baylis was a British theatrical producer and manager who founded the "Vic-Wells" theatre companies, which included the Old Vic theatre for spoken drama, Sadler's Wells theatre for opera and ballet, and a ballet company co-founded by Baylis and Ninette de Valois. Baylis appointed Tyrone Guthrie to oversee the Old Vic theatre and de Valois to run the ballet company, while Carey and two colleagues ran the opera company after her death in 1937. Despite the Second World War and the government requisitioning Sadler's Wells as a refuge for those made homeless by air-raids, the opera company continued as a small touring ensemble of 20 performers, led and managed by Joan Cross, and eventually grew to include singers from a new generation such as Peter Pears and Owen Brannigan, and the conductor Reginald Goodall. |
You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. | Please answer the following question: Answer the question based on the following text. Question: The less energy particles in matter have, they move slower or faster.? Text: The particles in matter are always moving. The more energy they have, the faster they move.
A: | Based on the given text, it can be inferred that the particles in matter move slower when they have less energy. This is because the text states that the more energy the particles have, the faster they move. Therefore, it can be concluded that the opposite is also true - the less energy the particles have, the slower they move. This is because energy is directly related to the speed of the particles in matter. When particles have more energy, they have more kinetic energy, which means they move faster. Conversely, when particles have less energy, they have less kinetic energy, which means they move slower. Therefore, the speed of particles in matter is directly proportional to the amount of energy they possess. |

According to 16th-century mystic Rabbi Elijah of Chelm, Ashkenazi Jews lived in Jerusalem during the 11th century. The story is told that a German-speaking Palestinian Jew saved the life of a young German man surnamed Dolberger. So when the knights of the First Crusade came to siege Jerusalem, one of Dolberger's family members who was among them rescued Jews in Palestine and carried them back to Worms to repay the favor. Further evidence of German communities in the holy city comes in the form of halakhic questions sent from Germany to Jerusalem during the second half of the 11th century.
Q: Another piece of evidence of German communities in the holy city in the second half of the 11th century is due to what items being sent from Germany to Jerusalem? | A: Halakhic questions were sent from Germany to Jerusalem during the second half of the 11th century, which is another piece of evidence of German communities in the holy city during that time. Halakhic questions are inquiries about Jewish law and customs, which suggests that there was a Jewish community in Germany that was seeking guidance from the scholars and rabbis in Jerusalem. This exchange of information and communication between the two communities indicates a level of connection and interaction between Ashkenazi Jews in Germany and those living in Jerusalem during the 11th century. |
You are a teacher. Given a task, you explain in simple steps what the task is asking, any guidelines it provides and how to use those guidelines to find the answer. | Detailed Instructions: In this task, you are given two phrases: Head and Tail, separated with <sep>. The Head and the Tail events are short phrases possibly involving participants. The names of specific people have been replaced by generic words (e.g., PersonX, PersonY, PersonZ). PersonX is always the subject of the event. You have to determine whether the Head can be hindered by what is mentioned in the Tail or not. In this task, hindering introduces hindrances that obstruct the natural path to the achievement of a goal. For example, the event PersonX adopts a cat can be obstructed if PersonX is allergic to cats. Classify your answers into "Yes" and "No". The phrase may also contain "___", a placeholder that can be an object, a person, and/or an action.
Q: Head: PersonX takes the rest of the day off<sep>Tail: PersonX needs money to pay their bills.
A: | To answer this question, we need to determine whether what is mentioned in the Tail can hinder the Head event.
First, let's look at the Head event: "PersonX takes the rest of the day off." This means that PersonX wants to take the day off from work or other responsibilities.
Next, let's examine the Tail: "PersonX needs money to pay their bills." This suggests that PersonX is in need of money to cover their expenses.
Now, we need to determine if the Tail can hinder the Head event. In this case, if PersonX needs money to pay their bills, it might be difficult for them to take the rest of the day off. They may need to work or find a way to earn money instead.
Based on this analysis, we can classify our answer as "Yes," meaning that what is mentioned in the Tail can hinder the Head event. |

It includes 16 constituent states, covers an area of , and has a largely temperate seasonal climate. With about 82 million inhabitants, Germany is the most populous member state of the European Union. After the United States, it is the second most popular immigration destination in the world. Germany's capital and largest metropolis is Berlin. Other major cities include Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Düsseldorf. - Italy, officially the Italian Republic, is a unitary parliamentary republic in Europe. Located in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, Italy shares open land borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, San Marino and Vatican City. Italy covers an area of and has a largely temperate seasonal climate and Mediterranean climate; due to its shape, it is often referred to in Italy as "lo Stivale" (the Boot). With 61 million inhabitants, it is the fourth most populous EU member state. - Doom metal is an extreme style of heavy metal music that typically uses slower tempos, low-tuned guitars and a much "thicker" or "heavier" sound than other metal genres. Both the music and the lyrics intend to evoke a sense of despair, dread, and impending doom. The genre is strongly influenced by the early work of Black Sabbath, who formed a prototype for doom metal with songs such as "Black Sabbath", "Children of the Grave", "Electric Funeral" and "Into the Void". During the first half of the 1980s, a number of bands from England (Pagan Altar, Witchfinder General), the United States (Pentagram, Saint Vitus, Trouble) and Sweden (Candlemass, Count Raven) defined doom metal as a distinct genre. - Argentina, officially the Argentine Republic, is a federal republic in the southern half of South America. Sharing the bulk of the Southern Cone with its neighbor Chile to the west, the country is also bordered by Bolivia and Paraguay to the north, Brazil to the northeast, Uruguay and the South Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Drake Passage to the south. With a mainland area of , Argentina is the eighth-largest country in the world, the second largest in Latin America, and the largest Spanish-speaking one. The country is subdivided into twenty-three provinces (singular "provincia") and one autonomous city ("ciudad autónoma"), Buenos Aires, which is the federal capital of the nation as decided by Congress. The provinces and the capital have their own constitutions, but exist under a federal system. - Japan ("Nippon" or "Nihon" ; formally "" or "Nihon-koku", means "State of Japan") is a sovereign island nation in Eastern Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, It is lying off the eastern coast of the Asia Mainland (east of China, Korea, Russia) and stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and near Taiwan in the southwest. - Power metal is a subgenre of heavy metal combining characteristics of traditional metal with speed metal, often within symphonic context. Generally, power metal is characterized by a more uplifting sound, instead of the heaviness and dissonance prevalent in styles such as doom metal and death metal. Power metal bands usually have anthem-like songs with fantasy-based subject matter and strong choruses, thus creating a theatrical, dramatic and emotionally "powerful" sound. The term was first used in the middle of the 1980s and refers to two different but related styles: the first pioneered and largely practiced in North America with a harder sound similar to speed metal, and a later more widespread and popular style based in Europe (especially Scandinavia, Germany, Greece and Italy), South America (especially Brazil and Argentina) and Japan, with a lighter, more melodic sound and frequent use of keyboards. - South America is a continent located in the western hemisphere, mostly in the southern hemisphere, with a relatively small portion in the northern hemisphere. It is also considered a subcontinent of the Americas, which is the model used in nations that speak Romance languages. The reference to South America instead of other regions (like Latin America or the Southern Cone) has increased in the last decades due to changing geopolitical dynamics (in particular, the rise of Brazil). - Greece (' ), officially the Hellenic Republic (Greek: ' ), historically also known as Hellas ("" ), is a country in southeastern Europe. Greece's population is approximately 10.955 million as of 2015.

Advice on the best way to brush teeth for adults and children is confusing and inconsistent, according to University College London researchers.
Article: | Brushing your teeth is an important part of maintaining good oral hygiene. However, according to researchers at University College London, the advice on the best way to brush teeth for both adults and children can be confusing and inconsistent.
There are many different opinions on the best way to brush teeth, and it can be difficult to know which advice to follow. Some people recommend brushing in circular motions, while others suggest using a back-and-forth motion. Some people recommend brushing for two minutes, while others suggest brushing for longer or shorter periods of time.
The researchers at University College London conducted a review of the available evidence on toothbrushing techniques and found that there is no clear consensus on the best way to brush teeth. They found that some studies suggest that circular motions are more effective at removing plaque, while others suggest that back-and-forth motions are better.
The researchers also found that there is no clear consensus on how long to brush teeth for. Some studies suggest that two minutes is the optimal time, while others suggest that longer or shorter brushing times may be more effective.
So, what should you do? The researchers suggest that the most important thing is to brush your teeth regularly, using a fluoride toothpaste. They also suggest that you should use a soft-bristled toothbrush and avoid brushing too hard, as this can damage your teeth and gums.
In addition, the researchers suggest that you should try to brush all surfaces of your teeth, including the front, back, and chewing surfaces. You should also brush your tongue, as this can help to remove bacteria and freshen your breath.
Overall, while the advice on the best way to brush teeth may be confusing and inconsistent, the most important thing is to brush regularly and use a fluoride toothpaste. By following these simple steps, you can help to maintain good oral hygiene and keep your teeth healthy and strong. |

They start like induction motors, but when slip rate decreases sufficiently, the rotor (a smooth cylinder) becomes temporarily magnetized. Its distributed poles make it act like a PMSM. The rotor material, like that of a common nail, will stay magnetized, but can also be demagnetized with little difficulty. Once running, the rotor poles stay in place; they do not drift." Answer:
| In a hysteresis synchronous motor, the rotor (which is a smooth cylinder) becomes temporarily magnetized when the slip rate decreases sufficiently. The distributed poles in the rotor make it act like a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The rotor material, like that of a common nail, will stay magnetized, but can also be demagnetized with little difficulty. Once the motor is running, the rotor poles stay in place and do not drift. |

Provide a detailed answer so user don’t need to search outside to understand the answer. | Please answer the following question: Process: - Oxygen enters the body through the mouth or nose - The oxygen travels into the lungs - The oxygen binds to hemoglobin proteins within erythrocytes (red blood cells) - The erythrocytes are pumped through the body by the heart - All cells receive the oxygen. Question: suppose a person starts to hyperventilate happens, how will it affect more oxygen enters the body. - A: more - B: less - C: no effect
A: | If a person starts to hyperventilate, it will actually result in less oxygen entering the body. Hyperventilation is a condition where a person breathes rapidly and shallowly, which can lead to a decrease in the amount of carbon dioxide in the body. This decrease in carbon dioxide can cause the hemoglobin proteins in the red blood cells to hold onto oxygen more tightly, making it harder for the oxygen to be released to the body's cells. As a result, less oxygen will be able to enter the body, despite the increased breathing rate. Therefore, the answer to the question is B: less. |

Answer the above question based on the context below: Since 1991, the anniversary of the massacre has been designated the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, intended as a call to action against discrimination against women. A White Ribbon Campaign was launched in 1991 by a group of men in London, Ontario, in the wake of the massacre, for the purpose of raising awareness about the prevalence of male violence against women, with the ribbon symbolizing "the idea of men giving up their arms." Commemorative demonstrations are held across the country each year on December 6 in memory of the slain women and numerous memorials have been built. The Place du 6-Décembre-1989 in the Côte-des-Neiges/Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough of Montreal was created as a memorial to the victims of the massacre. Located at the corner of Decelles Avenue and Queen Mary Road, a short distance from the university, it includes the art installation Nef pour quatorze reines (Nave for Fourteen Queens) by Rose-Marie Goulet. It is the site of annual commemorations on December 6.A memorial erected in Vancouver sparked controversy because it was dedicated to "all women murdered by men", which critics say implies all men are potential murderers. As a result, women involved in the project ironically received death threats and the Vancouver Park Board subsequently banned any future memorials that might "antagonize" other groups.The event has also been commemorated through references in television, theatre, and popular music. A play about the shootings by Adam Kelly called The Anorak was named as one of the best plays of 2004 by the Montreal Gazette. Colleen Murphy's play "December Man" was first staged in Calgary in 2007 The movie Polytechnique, directed by Denis Villeneuve was released in 2009, and sparked controversy over the desirability of reliving the tragedy in a commercial film. Several songs have been written about the events, including "This Memory" by the folk duo the Wyrd Sisters, and "6 December 1989" by the Australian singer Judy Small.In 2013, a new...

The show focused on a fictional anchorman character named Stephen Colbert, played by his real-life namesake. The character, described by Colbert as a "well-intentioned, poorly informed, high-status idiot", is a caricature of televised political pundits. Furthermore, the show satirized conservative personality-driven political talk programs, particularly Fox News's The O'Reilly Factor.
Context: The New Yorker wrote that "Colbert has made vital observations about the American political system, particularly about the sordid role that money plays within it. The Colbert Report and the Daily Show [...] have changed the way that young liberals of a certain class think and talk about civic culture." The show also coined another word, wikiality, that means "reality as decided on majority rule." Viewers of the show also coined a word, freem, based on its inclusion in the show's opening sequence; the word refers to "'freedom' without having to 'do' anything -- without any responsibility or action." In response to the "Better Know a District" segment, Rahm Emanuel, then the Democratic Caucus chair, instructed incoming freshmen not to do appearances on the show in 2007. In 2008, East Carolina University associate professor Jason Bond named a species of trapdoor spider Aptostichus stephencolberti in honor of Stephen Colbert. The "Colbert Bump" is defined, connotatively by the Report, as an increase in popularity of a person (author, musician, politician, etc.) or thing (website, etc.) as a result of appearing as a guest on or (in the case of a thing) being mentioned on the show. For example, if a politician appears on The Colbert Report, they may become more popular with certain voters and thus are more likely to be elected. According to the American Political Science Association, contributions to Democratic politicians rose 40% for 30 days after an appearance on the show. Magazines such as GQ, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated have all had sales spikes when Colbert appeared on their covers. Viewers of The Colbert Report were on numerous occasions cited as being more knowledgeable about current events than traditional news viewers. In April 2007, a Pew Research Center report cited both Colbert and The Daily Show viewers as more well-informed than those who gathered their information via newspapers, television news and radio. Colbert's Super PAC coverage was widely lauded, and studies later found that this coverage was more effective than traditional news programs at educating the audience on campaign finance. He was awarded a Peabody Award for the parody, which was described as an "innovative means of teaching American viewers about the landmark court decision". The Annenberg Public Policy Center reported in 2014 that the Colbert Super PAC segments increased viewers' knowledge of PAC and 501(c)(4) campaign finance regulation more successfully than other types of news media.
Question: Are there any other interesting aspects about this article?. Whats the answer? | Yes, there are several other interesting aspects about this article.
1. The Colbert Report was not only a popular show but also had a significant impact on American politics and culture. The show's satirical take on political news and commentary helped to shape the way young liberals thought and talked about civic culture.
2. The show also coined several new words, including "wikiality" and "freem," which have since entered the popular lexicon.
3. The show's "Better Know a District" segment caused controversy when Democratic Caucus chair Rahm Emanuel instructed incoming freshmen not to appear on the show in 2007.
4. The show's influence extended beyond its viewership, with the "Colbert Bump" leading to increased popularity for guests and even causing sales spikes for magazines.
5. Viewers of The Colbert Report were found to be more knowledgeable about current events than traditional news viewers, and the show's coverage of campaign finance was particularly effective at educating the audience.
Overall, the article highlights the significant impact that The Colbert Report had on American politics and culture during its run. |

Would "The first known public exhibition of projected sound films took place in Paris in 1900, but decades would pass before sound motion pictures were made commercially practical." be a reasonable answer?
Answer: | No, "The first known public exhibition of projected sound films took place in Paris in 1900, but decades would pass before sound motion pictures were made commercially practical" would not be a reasonable answer to the question.
Before synchronized sound was introduced into film, movie theaters used various methods to provide sound accompaniment to silent films. Here are the steps to answer the question more accurately:
1. Before synchronized sound, movie theaters relied on live musical accompaniment to enhance the viewing experience. This typically involved a pianist or an orchestra playing music that matched the mood and action on the screen.
2. In larger theaters, a theater organ was often used instead of a piano. These organs were capable of producing a wider range of sounds and could mimic the sound effects that synchronized sound would later provide.
3. Some theaters also employed sound effects artists who would create live sound effects using various props and instruments. For example, they might use a coconut shell to mimic the sound of a horse galloping or a thunder sheet to create the sound of thunder.
4. In addition to live music and sound effects, theaters sometimes used phonographs or gramophones to play pre-recorded music or sound effects. These devices were manually operated and required synchronization with the film by the projectionist.
5. It's worth noting that not all theaters had the resources or capabilities to provide live music or sound effects. In such cases, the film would be shown in silence, and patrons would rely solely on the visual storytelling.
Therefore, a more accurate answer to the question would be that movie theaters used live musical accompaniment, sound effects artists, and sometimes phonographs or gramophones to provide sound before synchronized sound was introduced into film. |

He and his group, Operation Finally Home, recently partnered with the television show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" to build a house for Army Staff Sgt. Patrick Zeigler, who survived the 2009 shooting spree at Fort Hood, Texas. CNN Heroes producer Kathleen Toner recently spoke to Wallrath about the experience, which will air on ABC on Sunday night. Kathleen Toner: How was working with "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" different from one of your typical builds? Dan Wallrath: The biggest difference was just the magnitude of it. The first day when we had the Braveheart March, where volunteers and builders march in, that was very exciting -- getting things kicked off, just feeling the energy of all the volunteers and the folks. Video: Watch volunteers arrive at the build site. And then this house was built in about 100 hours, where normally we take about six months. When you do it in a week, you see the impact of the whole community. We had so many volunteers. It was amazing how smooth everything went. Of course on our other projects, we get to interact with the family a lot more during the construction. So we missed that. But the good part about working with the show is that the family has this amazing week where everything changes. So it's pretty exciting. Toner: Building a house in 100 hours sounds almost impossible. How did it really work? Wallrath: There were probably 4,000 or 5,000 volunteers involved, and it was a 24-hour work site. They set up floodlights and worked 'round the clock. They had to talk to the neighbors and let them know it's going to be going on 24/7, but the community was all for it. What amazed me was that meant that people were volunteering at all hours. To volunteer from midnight until 4, 5 o'clock in the morning -- when the cameras and the celebrities are not there -- that's pretty special. I'd built homes for 30 years and never seen anything like that. And we stayed ahead of schedule. I was impressed. They said that if we didn't exceed the record (for their shortest build time), we came real close. Toner: What was the moment like when the family saw the home for the first time? Did you really say the show's signature line? Wallrath: (laughs) We really did say, "Move that bus!" It was special. There were so many people there that day who'd helped out. It was very exciting to see the look on the faces of the young couple. It's the same look I've seen so many times when we've given away homes before -- when the young man realizes that no matter what happens to them, his family is going to be taken care of. For him, going through everything he has, to see that burden being lifted off him, it was such a joy. Toner: I hear you have plans for the empty lot next door to that home? Wallrath: We had such a good response from the community (Salado, Texas, about 30 minutes from Fort Hood), so we felt like it was the right place to put another family. We spoke to the developer that we worked with, and he gave us that lot at a very discounted price. And we've found a great couple that's going to be in this house: another wounded veteran. It'll just be great for them to have another veteran nearby. You and I can't relate to what they went through, but all of the guys tell me that when they have tough times, there's no substitute for talking to someone who's been through the same thing. Toner: And you've established a fund where people can donate to help others wounded in the Fort Hood attack. Wallrath: We're going to reach out to the other families that are all over the United States now. We're not going to be able to build homes for every one of them. But if they need wheelchair ramps, doors widened, a room added on -- that's the kind of thing that, as homebuilders, we're going to be able to do. It's so exciting to be part of it, because now all these families are not going to be forgotten. America's going to step up, and we're going to be able to help them. Read the full update on CNN Hero Dan Wallrath: Support, donations pour in for Hero homebuilder.
Summarize the highlights of this article. | This article highlights the efforts of Dan Wallrath, a CNN Hero, and his organization Operation Finally Home, in building mortgage-free homes for wounded U.S. troops. Wallrath recently partnered with the television show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" to build a house for Army Staff Sgt. Patrick Zeigler, a survivor of the 2009 shooting at Fort Hood, Texas.
Working with "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" was different from Wallrath's typical builds due to the magnitude of the project. The house was built in just 100 hours with the help of thousands of volunteers, compared to the usual six-month timeline. The community support and the dedication of volunteers working round the clock was impressive. Although there was less interaction with the family during construction, the show provided an amazing week for the family where everything changed.
The moment when the family saw their new home for the first time was special, and Wallrath and his team did indeed say the show's signature line, "Move that bus!" The joy on the faces of the young couple was heartwarming, knowing that their family would be taken care of.
Wallrath also revealed plans for the empty lot next to the home, where another wounded veteran will be given a house. The community's positive response and the support from the developer made it possible to continue helping more families in need. Wallrath emphasized the importance of having veterans nearby, as they can relate to and support each other through tough times.
Additionally, Wallrath established a fund to help other families affected by the Fort Hood attack. While they may not be able to build homes for all of them, they will provide assistance with wheelchair ramps, widening doors, and adding rooms. The goal is to ensure that these families are not forgotten and that America steps up to support them.
Overall, this article showcases the incredible work of Dan Wallrath and Operation Finally Home, their collaboration with "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," and their commitment to helping wounded veterans and their families. |

Fact Sheet
This is the 31st tobacco-related Surgeon General’s report issued since 1964. It describes the epidemic of tobacco use among youth ages 12 through 17 and young adults ages 18 through 25, including the epidemiology, causes, and health effects of this tobacco use and interventions proven to prevent it. Scientific evidence contained in this report supports the following facts:
We have made progress in reducing tobacco use among youth; however, far too many young people are still using tobacco. Today, more than 600,000 middle school students and 3 million high school students smoke cigarettes. Rates of decline for cigarette smoking have slowed in the last decade and rates of decline for smokeless tobacco use have stalled completely.
Every day, more than 1,200 people in this country die due to smoking. For each of those deaths, at least two youth or young adults become regular smokers each day. Almost 90% of those replacement smokers smoke their first cigarette by age 18.
There could be 3 million fewer young smokers today if success in reducing youth tobacco use that was made between 1997 and 2003 had been sustained.
Rates of smokeless tobacco use are no longer declining, and they appear to be increasing among some groups.
Cigars, especially cigarette-sized cigars, are popular with youth. One out of five high school males smokes cigars, and cigar use appears to be increasing among other groups.
Use of multiple tobacco products—including cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco—is common among young people.
Prevention efforts must focus on young adults ages 18 through 25, too. Almost no one starts smoking after age 25. Nearly 9 out of 10 smokers started smoking by age 18, and 99% started by age 26. Progression from occasional to daily smoking almost always occurs by age 26.
Tobacco use by youth and young adults causes both immediate and long-term damage. One of the most serious health effects is nicotine addiction, which prolongs tobacco use and can lead to severe health consequences. The younger youth are when they start using tobacco, the more likely they’ll be addicted.
Early cardiovascular damage is seen in most young smokers; those most sensitive die very young.
Smoking reduces lung function and retards lung growth. Teens who smoke are not only short of breath today, they may end up as adults with lungs that will never grow to full capacity. Such damage is permanent and increases the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Youth are sensitive to nicotine and can feel dependent earlier than adults. Because of nicotine addiction, about three out of four teen smokers end up smoking into adulthood, even if they intend to quit after a few years.
Among youth who persist in smoking, a third will die prematurely from smoking.
Youth are vulnerable to social and environmental influences to use tobacco; messages and images that make tobacco use appealing to them are everywhere.
Young people want to fit in with their peers. Images in tobacco marketing make tobacco use look appealing to this age group.
Youth and young adults see smoking in their social circles, movies they watch, video games they play, websites they visit, and many communities where they live. Smoking is often portrayed as a social norm, and young people exposed to these images are more likely to smoke.
Youth identify with peers they see as social leaders and may imitate their behavior; those whose friends or siblings smoke are more likely to smoke.
Youth who are exposed to images of smoking in movies are more likely to smoke. Those who get the most exposure to onscreen smoking are about twice as likely to begin smoking as those who get the least exposure. Images of smoking in movies have declined over the past decade; however, in 2010 nearly a third of top-grossing movies produced for children—those with ratings of G, PG, or PG-13— contained images of smoking.
Tobacco companies spend more than a million dollars an hour in this country alone to market their products. This report concludes that tobacco product advertising and promotions still entice far too many young people to start using tobacco.
The tobacco industry has stated that its marketing only promotes brand choices among adult smokers. Regardless of intent, this marketing encourages underage youth to smoke. Nearly 9 out of 10 smokers start smoking by age 18, and more than 80% of underage smokers choose brands from among the top three most heavily advertised.
The more young people are exposed to cigarette advertising and promotional activities, the more likely they are to smoke.
The report finds that extensive use of price-reducing promotions has led to higher rates of tobacco use among young people than would have occurred in the absence of these promotions.
Many tobacco products on the market appeal to youth. Some cigarette-sized cigars contain candy and fruit flavoring, such as strawberry and grape.
Many of the newest smokeless tobacco products do not require users to spit, and others dissolve like mints; these products include snus—a spitless, dry snuff packaged in a small teabag-like sachet—and dissolvable strips and lozenges. Young people find these products appealing in part because they can be used without detection at school or other places where smoking is banned. However, these products cause and sustain nicotine addiction, and most youth who use them also smoke cigarettes.
Through the use of advertising and promotional activities, packaging, and product design, the tobacco industry encourages the myth that smoking makes you thin. This message is especially appealing to young girls. It is not true—teen smokers are not thinner than nonsmokers.
Comprehensive, sustained, multi-component programs can cut youth tobacco use in half in 6 years. ||||| He may have a licence to kill, but it turns out James Bond is becoming increasingly aware of risks to his health.
Renowned for his shaken (not stirred) martinis, fictional spy James Bond has long been seen as quite attached to his cigarettes - shown smoking in bed, while driving and once even while flying a hang glider.

But new analysis of all 24 films has found that 007 has kicked the habit for 15 years now, with his final smoke in 2002 in Die Another Day.
The study, published on Tuesday in international journal Tobacco Control, has shown the films are still riddled by images of smoking, with only one film in the 55-year franchise smoke-free - Casino Royale (2006).

As the longest-running and highest-grossing global movie franchise, researchers have previously been concerned by the impact of Bond's lifestyle habits on audiences, with studies focusing on his alcohol consumption and violence.
The new study, conducted by the Department of Public Health at the University of Otago, marked the first analysis of 007's smoking habits since the films began in 1962.
Advertisement
The study found Bond's on-screen smoking peaked in the 1960s, when he lit up for 83 per cent of screen time. On average, 007 reached for a cigarette within the first 20 minutes of each film.
But over the past few decades his smoking habits have decreased, as he became smoke-free during the 1990s and stopped in 2002.
Since 1967, references to dangers of smoking have increased, beginning with one villain's quip: "It won't be the nicotine that kills you Mr Bond".
Mr Bond also seems to have outgrown the "smoking-related spy gadgetry" which featured in four out of five films of the 1970s, including guns disguised as cigarettes, stun gas-releasing cigarettes and radio-transmitting lighters.
However, the researchers are concerned that images of smoking remain prevalent in the films, given "links between smoking in movies and teens taking it up".
According the study's authors, Professor Nick Wilson and Anne Tucker, the spy is still subject to secondhand smoke from Bond girls and villains, the latest example his love interest Sévérine in Skyfall (2012).
Its successor Spectre (2015) did not portray any smoking by Bond's "major associates", but did show other characters smoking indoors.
"While there are some favourable downward smoking-related trends in this movie series, the persisting smoking content remains problematic from a public health perspective, especially given the popularity of this movie series," the authors wrote.
"One estimate for [Spectre] indicates 261 million 'tobacco impressions' for the 10 to 29-year age-group in the USA alone."
Bond is still likely to die another day: the study also noted that the risks to Bond from his lovers' smoking was likely reduced due to "the typically brief nature of his relationships" and their "typically... short lives with a cumulative mortality from violence". ||||| Bond himself no longer smokes, but is still exposed to second-hand smoke
Smoking related imagery is conspicuous by its absence from only one Bond movie since 007 first graced cinema screens in 1962, finds an analysis in Tobacco Control.
And while Bond himself has stubbed out his last cigarette, with no smoking after 2002, he continues to be exposed to second-hand smoke, including from his sexual partners, the findings show.
Given the links between smoking in movies and teens taking it up, and that the James Bond series of movies is the longest running and highest ever grossing movie franchise globally, these findings are of concern, say the researchers.
While several studies have delved into various aspects of Bond's lifestyle, there hasn't been any detailed consideration of smoking related content and its potential health impact since the spy first lit up in 1962.
The researchers therefore analysed these themes in the 24 Bond movies screened by Eon Productions, from 1962 (Dr No) up to the latest, Spectre, in 2015.
They found that Bond's on screen smoking peaked during the 1960s, when he puffed away in 83% of the movies produced in that decade, after which it declined until he took his last puff in 2002 (Die Another Day).
When he was a smoker, he lit up, on average, within 20 minutes of the start of the film.
While smoking has declined among Bond's sexual partners over the decades, it is still happening, as seen most recently in 2012 in Skyfall.
Smoking by his sexual partners would have exposed Bond to considerable levels of second- hand cigarette smoke, although the typically brief nature of his romantic liaisons would have at least curbed some of the impact, suggest the researchers.
Smoking related spy gadgetry had a relatively short lifespan in Bond movies, peaking in the 1970s in 80% of the films produced during that decade, but never to be seen again after 1989.
And cigarette branding featured in two movies: in 1979 (Marlboro in Moonraker); and in 1989 (Lark in License to Kill), as part of a product placement deal with Philip Morris to open up the Japanese cigarette market.
Overall, smoking related imagery was absent in only one movie in 2006 (Casino Royale). In the most recent movie, in 2015, none of Bond's major associates smoked, but other characters still did, adding up to an estimated 261 million 'tobacco impressions' for 10-29 year olds in the USA alone.
The researchers note that there have been attempts in the Bond series to mention/depict the hazards of smoking, the first of which came in 1967 (You Only Live Twice), with subsequent references made in 1974, 1979, 1997. And in 1999, Miss Moneypenny hurls Bond's gift to her of a cigar into the bin in disgust (The World Is Not Enough).
But while there have been some "favourable downward smoking related trends in this movie series, the persisting smoking content remains problematic from a public health perspective, especially given the popularity of the series," write the researchers.
And they suggest that while smoking seems to be at odds with Bond's need for physical fitness and his level of educational attainment, it does fit with his disregard for other risks to his health.
After all, 007 has dodged thousands of bullets, he drinks a lot of alcohol, and often drives very fast, they point out. And that's without a goodly proportion of his sexual partners (nine out of 60) attempting to disable, capture, or kill him.....

Write a summary. | This report is about how many young people are still using tobacco, even though we have been trying to reduce it. It says that more than 600,000 middle school students and 3 million high school students smoke cigarettes. It also says that smoking can cause a lot of health problems and even death. The report talks about how tobacco companies try to make smoking look cool and how they advertise their products to young people.

We would all like to get a driver's license without answering questionsabout rights of way or showing that we can parallel park a car. Many future lawyers and doctors probablywish they could join their profession without taking an exam. But tests and standards are a necessary fact of life. They protect us from unskilled drivers, harmful products and dishonest professionals. In schools too exams play a. constructive role. They tell public officials whether new school programs are making a difference and where new investments are likely to pay off. They tell teachers what their students have learned--and have not. They tell parents how their children are doing compared with others their age. They encourage students to make more effort. It is important to recall that for most of century, educators used intelligence tests to decide whichchildren should get a high-quality education. The point of IQ testing was to find out how much children were capable of learning rather than to test what they had actually learned. Based on IQ scores, millions of children were assigned to _ instead of solid courses in science, math, history, literature andforeign language. This history reminds us that tests should be used to improve education. Every child should have access to a high-quality education. Students should have full opportunity to learn what will be tested; otherwise theirscores will merely reflect whether they come from an educated family. In the past few years, we have seen the enormous benefits that flow to disadvantaged students because of the information provided by state tests. Those who fall behind are now getting extra instruction inafter-school classes and summer programs. In their efforts to improve student performance, states are increasing teachers salaries, testing new teachers and insisting on better teacher education. Performance in education means the mastery of both knowledge and skills. This is why it is reasonable totest teachers to make sure they know their subject matter,... Question: Which of the following does the author probably agree with? Options: A: Disadvantaged students can benefit from state tests. B: Tests should focus on what students have actually learned. C: Intelligent tests decide if children should get a high - quality education. D: Intelligent tests are helpful in separating excellent students from poor ones.
A: | The author probably agrees with option A: Disadvantaged students can benefit from state tests. The article mentions that in the past few years, disadvantaged students have been getting extra instruction in after-school classes and summer programs because of the information provided by state tests. This suggests that the author sees state tests as a way to improve education for disadvantaged students. The article also mentions that tests should be used to improve education and that every child should have access to a high-quality education, which supports the idea that state tests can benefit disadvantaged students. Option B is also mentioned in the article as a positive aspect of tests, but it is not the main point of the article. Option C is mentioned as a negative example of how tests were used in the past, and option D is not mentioned in the article at all. |

Here are possible answers to this question: - arriving - location - excitement - movement - expense I believe the correct choice is "expense", here's why:
Answer: | Yes, you are correct. The practical husband was most concerned about the expense when house shopping. This is because buying a house is a significant financial investment, and it is important to consider the cost and affordability of the property. The practical husband would want to ensure that the house is within his budget and that he can afford the mortgage payments, property taxes, and other associated expenses. Additionally, he may also consider the potential resale value of the property in the future. Therefore, expense is the most practical and important factor to consider when house shopping. |
You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. | Please answer the following question: What is the final step of the following process: - An isotope has too many protons - The isotope is unstable - The isotope emits radiation - The isotope decays - The isotope loses some atomic particles - The isotope turns into a different element
A: | The final step of the process described is that the isotope turns into a different element. This is because the decay of the unstable isotope results in the loss of atomic particles, which can include protons, neutrons, or both. As a result, the atomic number of the isotope changes, and it becomes a different element with a different number of protons in its nucleus. This process is known as radioactive decay, and it can occur through several different mechanisms, including alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay. The type of decay that occurs depends on the specific isotope and its properties. Overall, the final step of this process is a fundamental aspect of nuclear physics and has important implications for a wide range of scientific and technological applications, including nuclear power, medical imaging, and radiation therapy. |
You are an AI assistant. User will you give you a task. Your goal is to complete the task as faithfully as you can. While performing the task think step-by-step and justify your steps. | Math problem: Solve 159*h - 425 = 74*h for h.
What is the solution? | The given equation is 159*h - 425 = 74*h.
To solve for h, we need to isolate h on one side of the equation.
First, we can simplify the equation by subtracting 74*h from both sides:
159*h - 425 - 74*h = 0
85*h - 425 = 0
Next, we can add 425 to both sides:
85*h = 425
Finally, we can solve for h by dividing both sides by 85:
h = 5
Therefore, the solution to the equation 159*h - 425 = 74*h is h = 5. |

The answer is: | A human would choose "air" as the likely location for a frisbee in play because frisbees are typically thrown through the air during a game. Frisbee is a sport that involves throwing a plastic disc to other players on a field, and the objective is to catch the disc without it touching the ground. The frisbee is thrown by one player to another, and it travels through the air until it is caught or intercepted by another player.
Therefore, it is safe to assume that during a game of frisbee, the frisbee is most likely to be found in the air. While it is possible for a frisbee to land outside, in a park, on a roof, or in a tree, these locations are not as likely as the air. The frisbee is designed to fly through the air, and players aim to throw it as far and accurately as possible.
Furthermore, if the frisbee does land outside, in a park, on a roof, or in a tree, it is likely because it was thrown too high or too far, or because the wind carried it off course. In any case, the frisbee would have initially been in the air before landing in one of these locations.
In conclusion, a human would choose "air" as the likely location for a frisbee in play because frisbees are designed to fly through the air during a game, and players aim to throw them as far and accurately as possible. While it is possible for a frisbee to land in other locations, these are not as likely as the air. |

She really wanted her parents to leave her this cabin , but stuff went down and they sold it . Now she has property up there , but there 's nothing on it and her brother the doctor got the waterside lot . But while we were camping up there a few weeks ago , the current owner of the cabin mom wanted mentioned that he was thinking of moving it somewhere and building a new one .
Will my mom decide to try and purchase the cabin from the owner ? | It's difficult to say for certain whether your mom will decide to try and purchase the cabin from the current owner, as there are a number of factors that could influence her decision. However, there are a few things to consider that may help shed some light on the situation.
Firstly, it's clear that your mom has a strong emotional attachment to the area and the cabin in particular. The fact that she spent her summers there growing up and has since purchased property in the area suggests that she has a deep connection to the place. This emotional attachment may make her more inclined to want to purchase the cabin from the current owner, especially if she feels that it would allow her to recapture some of the memories and experiences she had as a child.
On the other hand, there are also practical considerations to take into account. For example, it's unclear how much the current owner would be asking for the cabin, and whether your mom would be able to afford it. Additionally, there may be logistical challenges involved in moving the cabin to a new location, and your mom would need to consider whether she has the resources and expertise to undertake such a project.
Another factor to consider is the relationship between your mom and her brother. It sounds like there may be some tension or competition between them over the waterside lot, and this could potentially spill over into any negotiations over the cabin. Your mom may need to weigh the potential benefits of owning the cabin against the potential strain it could put on her relationship with her brother.
Ultimately, whether your mom decides to try and purchase the cabin from the current owner will depend on a variety of factors, including her emotional attachment to the area, her financial resources, and the practical considerations involved in moving the cabin. It's possible that she may decide that it's not worth the effort or expense, or that she may choose to pursue other options for creating new memories in the area. Only time will tell what decision she ultimately makes. |

You must generate a detailed and long answer. | Process: - Air enters the nose or mouth and travels through the windpipe into the lungs - The lungs have a series of smaller and finer tubes and sacs - Air reaches the smallest and finest air sacs called alveoli - Oxygen travels from the alveoli into the blood - Oxygen-rich blood is carried to the heart - Oxygen-rich blood is pumped throughout the body by the heart - Cells take in the oxygen rich blood and release carbon dioxide rich blood - The carbon dioxide rich blood travels to the lungs - Carbon dioxide travels through the throat and is exhaled. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose a person may be very unwell happens, how will it affect more air enters the mouth or nose. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
The answer to this question is: | If a person is very unwell, it is possible that their breathing may be affected, which could impact the process of air entering the nose or mouth and traveling through the windpipe into the lungs. Depending on the nature of the illness, the person may experience difficulty breathing, which could result in more air entering through the mouth rather than the nose. This could potentially impact the process, as the nose plays an important role in filtering and humidifying the air before it reaches the lungs.
Additionally, if the person's illness affects the lungs themselves, it could impact the series of smaller and finer tubes and sacs within the lungs, making it more difficult for air to reach the alveoli. This could result in a decrease in oxygen reaching the blood, which could have a direct impact on the body's ability to function properly.
Furthermore, if the person's illness affects the heart, it could impact the pumping of oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. This could result in a decrease in oxygen reaching the cells, which could have a direct impact on their ability to function properly. In turn, this could impact the release of carbon dioxide and the process of exhaling it through the throat.
Overall, the supposed perturbation of a person being very unwell could have both direct and indirect effects on the process of air entering the body and the subsequent exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. It is important for medical professionals to closely monitor and manage any respiratory or cardiovascular issues that may arise in order to ensure proper oxygenation of the body and prevent further complications. |

You are an AI assistant that follows instruction extremely well. Help as much as you can. | Please answer the following question: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: Traffic problems are an everyday concern in many cities,including Washington,DC.A growing number of Washingtonians are turning to bicycles to get to and from work.In fact,the number of commuters who use bicycles has doubled in the city since 2007. Ralph Buehler teaches urban planning at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University,popularly known as Virginia Tech.He has written a book about urban biking,called "City Cycling". He says there is a reason why urban bike tiding is now becoming more popular. "Over the last 60 to 70 years.cities in the U.S.have been adapted to the automobile." "Most cities took advantage of the money coming for the interstate highway system,from the federal government,starting in 1956.There was a 90 percent federal match so the cities only had to put up 10%.It was very tempting." In the years after World War Two,many Americans moved to suburban communities,just outside major cities,They decided to travel great distances to and from work in exchange for a home in the suburbs.Their cars became a symbol of freedom. But today,many people believe they can save money by living in the city. Greg Billing is with the Washington Area Bicyclist Association."When a person makes a change from 04 using a car to using a bike,they are saving anywhere between 8 or$9,000 a year." Ralph Buehler says governments save money when people use bicycles."Building bicycling facilities is much cheaper than building and maintaining road facilities or public transport." Washington,DC has also taken steps to protect bike riders.It approved a safe passing law and created areas on the road between cars and bikes. The United States Census Bureau says 4%of the city's workers ride to work by bike.The only city on the East Coast with more bike commuters is New York. Options: A The federal government supported building public transport. B Government invested a lot to build bicycling facilities. C Cities didn't use the money from the government wisely. D Urban biking has been popular in the last 60 to 70 years. Answer: A The federal government supported building public transport. Question:
Answer: | What is the reason for the growing popularity of urban biking according to Ralph Buehler?
A) Cities have been adapted to the automobile
B) Americans moved to suburban communities after World War Two
C) Biking facilities are cheaper to build and maintain than road facilities or public transport
D) Living in the city can save money
Answer: C) Biking facilities are cheaper to build and maintain than road facilities or public transport. |

The term "southern Africa" or "Southern Africa", generally includes Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. From a political perspective the region is said to be unipolar with South Africa as a first regional power. - South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa (RSA), is the southernmost country in Africa. It is bounded on the south by of coastline of Southern Africa stretching along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, on the north by the neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, and on the east and northeast by Mozambique and Swaziland, and surrounding the kingdom of Lesotho. South Africa is the 25th-largest country in the world by land area, and with close to 56 million people, is the world's 24th-most populous nation. It is the southernmost country on the mainland of the Old World or the Eastern Hemisphere. It is the only country that borders both the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. About 80 percent of South Africans are of Sub-Saharan African ancestry, divided among a variety of ethnic groups speaking different Bantu languages, nine of which have official status. The remaining population consists of Africa's largest communities of European (white), Asian (Indian), and multiracial (coloured) ancestry. - Calenduleae is a flowering plant tribe of the family Asteraceae. Calenduleae has been widely recognized since Alexandre de Cassini in the early 19th century. There are eight genera and over 110 species, mostly found in South Africa. - Asteraceae or Compositae (commonly referred to as the aster, daisy, composite, or sunflower family) is an exceedingly large and widespread family of flowering plants (Angiospermae). - A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in plants that are floral (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also called angiosperms). The biological function of a flower is to effect reproduction, usually by providing a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs. Flowers may facilitate outcrossing (fusion of sperm and eggs from different individuals in a population) or allow selfing (fusion of sperm and egg from the same flower). Some flowers produce diaspores without fertilization (parthenocarpy). Flowers contain sporangia and are the site where gametophytes develop. Many flowers have evolved to be attractive to animals, so as to cause them to be vectors for the transfer of pollen. After fertilization, the ovary of the flower develops into fruit containing seeds. - Anthemideae is a tribe of flowering plants in the aster family, Asteraceae, and the subfamily Asteroideae. They are distributed worldwide with concentrations in central Asia, the Mediterranean Basin, and southern Africa. - Astereae is a tribe of plants in the family Asteraceae that includes annuals, biennials, perennials, subshrubs, shrubs, and trees. Plants within the tribe are present nearly worldwide divided into 170 genera and more than 2,800 species, making it the second-largest tribe in the family behind Senecioneae. They are found primarily in temperate regions of the world. - The Gnaphalieae are a tribe of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae . It is most closely related to the tribes Anthemideae , Astereae , and Calenduleae . - Senecioneae is the largest tribe of the Asteraceae, or the sunflower family, comprising approximately 150 genera and 3,000 species. Almost one-third of the species in this tribe are placed in the genus "Senecio". Its members exhibit probably the widest possible range of form to be found anywhere in the entire plant kingdom and include annuals, minute creeping alpines, perennial herbs, shrubs, climbers, succulents, trees and semi-aquatic plants. - Asteroideae is a subfamily of the plant family Asteraceae. It contains about 70% of the species of the family. - The flowering plants (angiosperms), also known as Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta, are the most diverse group of land plants, with 416 families, approx. 13,164 known genera and a total of c. 295,383 known species. Like gymnosperms, angiosperms are seed-producing plants; they are distinguished from gymnosperms by characteristics including flowers, endosperm within the seeds, and the production of fruits that contain the seeds. Etymologically, angiosperm means a plant that produces seeds within an enclosure, in other words, a fruiting plant. The term "angiosperm" comes from the Greek composite word ("angeion", "case" or "casing", and "sperma", "seed") meaning "enclosed seeds", after the enclosed condition of the seeds. What object entity has the relation of 'parent taxon' with the subject 'gnaphalieae'? Choices: - angiosperms - anthemideae - area - asteraceae - astereae - asteroideae - calenduleae - magnoliophyta - namibia - plant - senecio - senecioneae
The answer to this question is: | The object entity that has the relation of 'parent taxon' with the subject 'Gnaphalieae' is the family Asteraceae. The Gnaphalieae tribe is a part of the Asteraceae family, which is also known as the sunflower family. The Asteraceae family is one of the largest families of flowering plants, containing about 70% of the species of the family. It is divided into several tribes, including the Gnaphalieae, Anthemideae, Astereae, and Calenduleae. The Asteraceae family is distributed worldwide, with concentrations in central Asia, the Mediterranean Basin, and southern Africa, where most of the species of the Calenduleae tribe are found. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Asteraceae'. |

When did this place turn into a kids karaoke bar ? We used to come here all the time on Saturday nights and have a great time. Now groups of kids sit at tables waiting for their next turn to sing high in their high pitched voices, it's so annoying. Also, the waiters and waitresses are just hanging out in booths socializing and ignoring their customers.

The sentence talks about the occupation of East Prussia by Russian forces and Frederick's perception of the Russian threat, as well as his plans to fight Austria. It does not provide any information about the factors that led to Frederick's defeat in the battle for Olmutz.
To answer the question, we would need to look for information about the battle for Olmutz and the events that led to Frederick's defeat. The battle for Olmutz, also known as the Battle of Hohenfriedberg, took place on June 4, 1745, during the War of the Austrian Succession. Frederick's Prussian army faced an Austrian army led by Prince Charles Alexander of Lorraine.
According to historical accounts, the battle turned against Frederick when his troops became disorganized and lost their momentum. The Austrian cavalry launched a successful counterattack, and the Prussian infantry was unable to hold its ground. Frederick's army suffered heavy losses, and he was forced to retreat.
Several factors may have contributed to Frederick's defeat, including the terrain, the weather, and the tactics used by the Austrian army. However, the exact reasons for the Prussian defeat are still debated by historians. |

(CNN) -- Move over Pocahontas and Mulan. Sofia está aquÃ. Disney's first Latina princess, featured in the movie "Sofia the First: Once Upon A Princess," has received backlash as well as support from media outlets, especially the Latino community. Is Disney's new princess a milestone for Latinos or a culturally irrelevant character? Disney's spokeswoman provided a recent statement to CNN to help clarify what exactly makes "Princess Sofia" Latina: "The range of characters in 'Sofia the First' -- and the actors who play them -- are a reflection of Disney's commitment to diverse, multicultural and inclusive storytelling, and the wonderful early reaction to 'Sofia' affirms that commitment. In the story, Sofia's mother, Queen Miranda, was born in a fictitious land, Galdiz, a place with Latin influences. Miranda met Sofia's father, Birk Balthazar, who hailed from the kingdom of Freezenberg, and together they moved to Enchancia, where Sofia was born."
Some criticized what they saw as a lack of cultural signifiers or ethnic identity in the

Answer: It has excellent thermal shock characteristics, being able to survive immersion in water while red hot.
Is the question answered in a satisfactory fashion? | Yes, the answer provided is accurate and informative. However, if you would like a more detailed explanation, I can provide one below.
Fused quartz is a type of glass that is made by melting pure silica at extremely high temperatures and then cooling it rapidly to form a solid material. It is known for its exceptional purity, high temperature resistance, and optical clarity. One of the key benefits of fused quartz is its excellent thermal shock characteristics.
Thermal shock is a phenomenon that occurs when a material is exposed to rapid temperature changes. This can cause the material to crack or break due to the differential expansion and contraction of its various components. Fused quartz is able to withstand thermal shock because it has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, which means that it does not expand or contract significantly when exposed to changes in temperature.
In addition, fused quartz has a very high melting point of around 1650°C, which makes it ideal for use in high-temperature applications such as furnace tubes, crucibles, and other industrial equipment. It is also highly resistant to chemical corrosion and can be used in harsh chemical environments without degrading or corroding.
Overall, the excellent thermal shock characteristics of fused quartz make it a highly desirable material for a wide range of industrial and scientific applications. Its ability to survive immersion in water while red hot is just one example of the many benefits that this remarkable material has to offer. |

Context: The drive up to Rick's place in the hills always made me sick. Just after he bought the house with his ill gotten gains from his band's over-hyped, over-marketed, and over-bought sophomore Disc, he drove me out to see it in his beautiful but nauseating '70 Datsun 240 Z. All the smog combined with the pinball effects of winding up the hill at teeth-numbing speeds had me puking for an hour after we got there. I took the last turn at the top of the hill and watched the rising sun crest over the black blocks of the city, her angel wings soiled and cheapened with the soot of 12 million get-away drivers. Rick's house came into view out of the fog, its large glass panes sparkling like the last clean surface of an oversized ashtray. I parked between a blue hatchback and Rick's favorite toy: a 350 horsepower Impreza he had smuggled here from Japan. All his more expensive rides were in the garage, collecting dust and gaining vintage resale value. I rang the bell. I waited and watched a couple of squirrels fight over a small treasure in the bushes. The door opened. "Dingo." "Hey, Luna." Her job as Rick's assistant was to take care of his place while he was out being a rock star. She made sure all his bills were paid, his animals were fed, and that the subsequent fallout from any parties she might have in his absence didn't leave any lasting damage. She was pretty by most standards, gorgeous by others. Short with a tight schoolgirl body and raven hair that teased her avian shoulders. But by whatever standard, her beauty was like a rare and exotic bird she kept caged behind the bars of her perfect teeth. As soon as she opened her mouth it flew away. Question: What does the narrator think about Luna? Options: - she is guly - she is gullible - she is unintelligent - not enough information
The answer to this question is: | not enough information. While the narrator describes Luna's physical appearance in detail, they do not provide any information about her intelligence or gullibility. The only information given about her personality is that her beauty is "like a rare and exotic bird she kept caged behind the bars of her perfect teeth" and that "as soon as she opened her mouth it flew away." Therefore, it is not possible to determine the narrator's opinion of Luna's intelligence or gullibility based on the given context. |

Answer: The right main bronchus (or right primary bronchus, or right principal bronchus) is a bronchus of the respiratory system . Question: what is the main primary bronchus
A: | Yes, the answer provided is correct. The right main bronchus is one of the two primary bronchi, which are the first branches of the trachea that lead into the lungs. The other primary bronchus is the left main bronchus. The right main bronchus is shorter, wider, and more vertical than the left main bronchus, which makes it more susceptible to foreign object aspiration. The right main bronchus branches into three secondary bronchi, which supply air to the three lobes of the right lung, while the left main bronchus branches into two secondary bronchi, which supply air to the two lobes of the left lung. The primary bronchi are essential for the respiratory system to function properly, as they transport air from the trachea into the lungs, where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide. |

Mysterious killing: Mikhail Kravchenko, who shared a four-day break with Princess Michael in Venice in 2006, was gunned to death in his Mercedes in May. The Princess was seen dining at Harry's Bar with the younger man, gazing into his eyes and stroking his cheek. Princess Michael, 67, was said to have been 'very distressed' when told of the murder of the 46-year-old Russian furniture tycoon, who was 21 years her junior. The pictures of her gazing into his eyes and gently stroking his cheek in the romantic city caused great embarrassment for husband Prince Michael, the Queen's cousin.

Another friend, Roksolana Chernoba, added: 'It. is a horrible situation - it was Mikhail first, killers sprayed him. with bullets. Then four months later she dies. It is a mystery.' Mrs Kravchenko added: 'She said somebody told her, "You're. digging too deep, watch your back. It may end in a bad way, you better. go quiet."' 'All of us, all who love him, all of us carry on trying to find out something about his death.'

The driver, who had a fake licence, was killed with her when a Cadillac jeep failed to stop at red lights and struck the Hyundai. She was declared dead at the crash scene and the driver of the jeep sped off into the night at high speed.

Terrifying video shows a pod of killer whales chasing a fishing boat
By Brian Koerber2015-09-15 16:23:53 UTC
While fishing off the coast of San Diego on Thursday, two fisherman had a terrifying encounter with a lively pod of killer whales.
According to the clip's YouTube description, the two fishermen were about five miles off Point Loma when they first noticed some animals beneath their boat. It wasn't until the the orcas were very close that they realized exactly what they were dealing with.
Once the men noticed that the animals were orcas, they took off in their 20-foot fishing boat, which easily could have been flipped by the whales. The fishermen say in the video description that the pod consisted of approximately 30 whales, although only a few can be seen in the clip.
The whales chased the boat and continued to jumped out of the water as it sped off; a few times the whales even came just a few feet from the boat. Fortunately, the whales did not attempt to flip the boat, and the men made it back to land safely.
Orca whales, which are actually from the dolphin family, travel and hunt in pods which can consist of up to thirty whales. Despite their name, killer whales rarely attack humans, especially in the wild.

Options: - sit down - play piano - excrete - eat meat - catch fish The answer is "play piano" because
Answer: | Humans have a long history of expressing themselves artistically, and one of the most popular ways to do so is through music. While there are many different instruments that can be used to create music, one of the most iconic and beloved is the piano.
The piano was invented in the early 18th century by Bartolomeo Cristofori, an Italian instrument maker. It quickly became popular among musicians and composers, and has remained a staple of music ever since.
One of the reasons that the piano is so popular is that it allows musicians to sit down while they play. This is important because playing an instrument can be physically demanding, and sitting down allows musicians to conserve their energy and focus on their performance.
In addition to being comfortable to play, the piano is also incredibly versatile. It can be used to play a wide range of musical styles, from classical to jazz to pop. It can be played solo or as part of an ensemble, and can be used to accompany singers or other instruments.
Overall, the piano is a testament to human creativity and ingenuity. It has brought joy and beauty to countless people over the centuries, and will continue to do so for generations to come. |

Answer: | The unit of measure that was once defined as the length of three grains of barley laid end to end is known as a barleycorn. This unit of measure has been used for centuries and was commonly used in the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe. The length of a barleycorn is approximately one-third of an inch or 8.5 millimeters.
The use of barleycorn as a unit of measure dates back to the Anglo-Saxon period, where it was used to measure the length of clothing and footwear. It was also used to measure the length of arrows and other weapons. The length of a barleycorn was considered to be a reliable and consistent measurement, as the size of a grain of barley is relatively uniform.
Over time, the use of barleycorn as a unit of measure has declined, and it has been replaced by more standardized units such as inches, centimeters, and millimeters. However, the term "barleycorn" is still used in some industries, such as the shoe-making industry, where it is used to measure the length of shoes.
In conclusion, the barleycorn is a unit of measure that was once defined as the length of three grains of barley laid end to end. It has been used for centuries and was commonly used in the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe. While its use has declined over time, it is still used in some industries today. |

Context: "In June 1963, President Kennedy continued his policy of affirmative action by issuing another mandate, Executive Order 11114. The order supplemented to his previous 1961 executive order declaring it was the "policy of the United States to encourage by affirmative action the elimination of discrimination in employment".:72 Through this order, all federal funds, such as "grants, loans, unions and employers who accepted taxpayer funds, and other forms of financial assistance to state and local governments," were forced to comply to the government's policies on affirmative action in employment practices.:72" Answer:
The answer is: | All federal funds, unions, and employers who accepted taxpayer funds, and other forms of financial assistance to state and local governments were forced to comply to the government's policies on affirmative action in employment practices.
To arrive at this answer, I first read the given context carefully to understand the situation. Then, I identified the specific phrase "forced to comply" and looked for the subject of the sentence. From the context, it was clear that the subject was all federal funds, unions, and employers who accepted taxpayer funds, and other forms of financial assistance to state and local governments.
Next, I looked for the reason why they were forced to comply. The context provided the reason, which was the government's policies on affirmative action in employment practices. Therefore, I concluded that all federal funds, unions, and employers who accepted taxpayer funds, and other forms of financial assistance to state and local governments were forced to comply to the government's policies on affirmative action in employment practices. |

Ron is now examining the data he gathered from the two societies in an attempt to draw scientific conclusions, and write up a paper. In society A, he found that there were high levels of income inequality, while society B had low levels of income inequality. Which society will have higher rates of homicide? Hint: Research has shown an inverse link between income inequality and social cohesion. In more equal societies, people are much more likely to trust each other, measures of social capital (the benefits of goodwill, fellowship, mutual sympathy and social connectedness among groups who make up a social units) suggest greater community involvement, and homicide rates are consistently lower.
| Based on the research that has shown an inverse link between income inequality and social cohesion, it can be inferred that society A, with high levels of income inequality, will have higher rates of homicide compared to society B, which has low levels of income inequality.
In society A, where there is a significant gap between the rich and the poor, people may feel a sense of injustice and resentment towards those who have more wealth and power. This can lead to a breakdown in social cohesion, as people may feel less connected to their community and less likely to trust others. This lack of social capital can contribute to higher rates of crime and violence, including homicide.
On the other hand, in society B, where there is less income inequality, people may feel a greater sense of social cohesion and trust towards their fellow community members. This can lead to greater community involvement and a stronger sense of social capital, which can help to reduce rates of crime and violence, including homicide.
It is important to note that there may be other factors that contribute to rates of homicide in these societies, such as access to firearms, cultural norms, and government policies. However, based on the research on income inequality and social cohesion, it is likely that society A will have higher rates of homicide compared to society B. |

Democracy activists said this amounted to a "fake democracy".
When the guidelines were announced last August there were weeks of street protests and some violent clashes.
Carrie Lam, Hong Kong's second highest government official, put forward the reform package.
"These proposals are in strict compliance with the Basic Law [Hong Kong's constitution] and the relevant decisions of [China's] standing committee of the National People's Congress," Ms Lam said.
"At the same time they fully take into account the views expressed by various sectors of the community," she said.
Hong Kong's leader will be chosen by the general population of more than five million eligible voters in the 2017 elections for the first time.
However, the process prior to that was outlined by Ms Lam:
Pro-democracy protesters have said this process allows Beijing to eliminate unwanted candidates and does not amount to universal suffrage.
Hong Kong protests: Has Beijing won?
Hong Kong's democracy debate
Thousands of people barricaded parts of Hong Kong for more than two months in protest when the guidelines were first announced last year.
But China has repeatedly made it clear that no concessions will be given. In December, Hong Kong police dismantled the last of the protest camps.
The electoral proposal is due to be voted on in the legislature in the summer, and needs a two-thirds majority in the 70-member Legislative Council to be passed.
The 27 pan-democratic lawmakers have mostly vowed to veto it. Many of them walked out of the chamber after the proposal was announced.
"We will launch a campaign to oppose the proposal and we will ask the Hong Kong public to continue to seek true universal suffrage," Civic Party lawmaker Alan Leong said.
The government will have to win over at least four of them to get the proposal through.
Speaking beforehand, the city's leader, Chief executive CY Leung, warned that if the proposal was vetoed this time, it would be a number of years before it was discussed again.
That would mean the current system, under which the chief executive is elected by a 1,200-member election committee, would remain in place.
China governs Hong Kong, a former British colony, under the "one country, two systems" principle.
The system has allowed the city a high degree of autonomy and civil rights, including freedom of assembly and free speech.
Hong Kong's mini-constitution says the ultimate aim is to elect the chief executive "by universal suffrage upon nomination by a broadly representative nominating committee".

Booked a King Suite online from Feb 8-10 @ $87.99/night (AAA Membership Rate) after being delayed at Charlotte (CLT) due to Winter Storm Nemo. The hotel is about 10-15 minutes from CLT. I arrived by shuttle and checked into Room 705. The room was very clean, with no issues throught my trip. This is a great place for catching up on sleep. Unfortunately there's nothing to do within the immediate, remote area, which will leave with few options beyond fast food delivery and the hotel's restaurant. A cab Uptown (Time Warner Arena, The Epicenter, Bobcats, Panthers, bars, restaurants, etc) will cost $25. The hotel concierge hooked me up with an 8pm shuttle ride to the Woodlawn LYNX (Light Rail) station (approx. 15-20 minutes away), which only costs $2.00 to head Uptown. The only drawbacks are the remote location, and the lack of free WiFi outside of the hotel lobby and lounge/restaurant ($9.99 per day). If you want to get a good night's sleep, then this is the place. If you want to enjoy Charlotte, I recommend choosing a hotel closer to Uptown and Center City.
Options:
- negative
- positive | The sentiment of the review is mixed, but leans towards positive.
Justification:
- Positive aspects:
- The room was very clean with no issues throughout the trip.
- The hotel is a great place for catching up on sleep.
- The hotel concierge helped the user with transportation options to Uptown.

You must generate a detailed and long answer. | What is the missing first step of the following process: - The air enters the mouth and nose - The diaphragm contracts - Air fills all the sacks in the lungs - Oxygen passes through the sacks into capillaries - The blood is passed to the blood in the capillaries - The blood carries the oxygen to the heart - The heart pumps the oxygenated blood to the body.
Answer: | The missing first step in the process described is the act of inhaling. Before the diaphragm can contract and air can fill the lungs, the individual must first take a breath in through their mouth or nose. Inhalation is the process of drawing air into the lungs, which is necessary for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide to occur. Without this initial step, the subsequent steps in the process cannot occur. Once the air is inhaled, the diaphragm contracts and the lungs expand, allowing air to fill the sacks in the lungs. From there, oxygen passes through the sacks into capillaries, and the blood carries the oxygen to the heart, which pumps the oxygenated blood to the body. |

While Port island experienced wet weather over the past 3 summers, Bank island experienced severe drought, therefore the food supply on the island diminished. Which island had observed the occurrence of natural selection? Hint: While the Grants were on the Galápagos, a drought occurred. As a result, fewer seeds were available for finches to eat. Birds with smaller beaks could crack open and eat only the smaller seeds. Birds with bigger beaks could crack and eat seeds of all sizes. As a result, many of the small-beaked birds died in the drought. Birds with bigger beaks survived and reproduced (see Figure below ). Within 2 years, the average beak size in the finch population increased. Evolution by natural selection had occurred.
Answer: | Based on the given information, it is likely that Bank island observed the occurrence of natural selection. Natural selection is a process by which organisms that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. In this case, Bank island experienced severe drought, which caused the food supply to diminish. This means that the birds on Bank island had to adapt to the new conditions in order to survive.
The example of the finches on the Galápagos Islands is a good illustration of how natural selection works. In the case of the finches, the drought caused a decrease in the availability of seeds, which meant that the birds with smaller beaks were at a disadvantage because they could only eat the smaller seeds. The birds with bigger beaks, on the other hand, were able to eat seeds of all sizes, which gave them an advantage in the new environment. As a result, the smaller-beaked birds died off, while the bigger-beaked birds survived and reproduced. Over time, this led to an increase in the average beak size in the finch population.
Similarly, on Bank island, the birds that were better adapted to the drought conditions were more likely to survive and reproduce. This could mean that the birds that were better at finding alternative food sources, or that were better at conserving water, were more likely to survive. Over time, this could lead to changes in the bird population on Bank island, as the birds that are better adapted to the new conditions become more prevalent.
In contrast, Port island experienced wet weather over the past 3 summers, which may not have provided the same selective pressures as the drought on Bank island. While the birds on Port island may have had to adapt to the wet conditions, it is less clear whether this would have led to natural selection in the same way as the drought on Bank island.

Think like you are answering to a five year old. | When creating the code, instead of putting the letters in alphabetical order in the grid, try randomly assigning letters to boxes. This way, people who are familiar with pigpen code will not be able to immediately guess which symbol relates to which letter. The more you randomize your code, the more difficult it will be for others to figure it out. If you are using this code to write to your friends, make sure that they have a copy of your cipher. If you use dots, others may recognize your code as a pigpen code immediately. Try replacing the dots with other symbols, such as 0, X, *, or +. Furthermore, if you really want to confuse people, use multiple symbols in coding your grids. If you are using a single grid and X to form your code, you can make the code even more difficult by writing three letters instead of two in each space. While writing in this method, each symbol will consist of zero, one or two dots. Zero is the left letter, one is the middle and two is the right one. In this version, you will have extra spaces. You can fill them with numbers, punctuation (!, ?, &) or leave them blank. The tic-tac-toe cipher is a type of pigpen cipher used for numbers. Draw a crosshatch grid and fill each space with a number. You don’t need to add dots. Simply use the shape formed by the surrounding lines of each number. Replace “0” with an X. For example, 101 would appear as _| X _|
Summary: | To make your pigpen code more difficult to decipher, try randomly assigning letters to symbols instead of putting them in alphabetical order. Use different symbols instead of dots, such as 0, X, *, or +. You can also use multiple symbols in one grid and write three letters instead of two in each space. For numbers, use the tic-tac-toe cipher by drawing a crosshatch grid and filling each space with a number, using the shape formed by the surrounding lines of each number. Replace "0" with an X. |
You are an AI assistant. Provide a detailed answer so user don’t need to search outside to understand the answer. | Question: What is a place with only one telephone book that many people can use? Options: - desk - house - at hotel - bedroom - library Explain why a human would choose "library" to answer the question above:
| A human would choose "library" as the answer to the question because a library is a public place where many people can go to access resources such as books, magazines, and other reference materials. In the past, libraries also used to have telephone directories or telephone books available for public use. Therefore, a library is a place where many people can use a single telephone book. Additionally, libraries are known for being quiet and conducive to studying or researching, making them a suitable location for people to look up phone numbers or other information in a telephone book. |
You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. | About the song wrote Billboard : `` You know the beat , now you catch the groove .
Billboard wrote about the song : `` You catch the beat , now know the groove .
Do these sentences mean the same thing? | The two sentences are similar, but they have a slight difference in meaning.
The first sentence, "You know the beat, now you catch the groove," implies that the listener is already familiar with the beat of the song and is now being encouraged to get into the groove or rhythm of the music. It suggests that the listener has already taken the first step in enjoying the song by recognizing the beat, and now they need to fully immerse themselves in the music by feeling the groove.
The second sentence, "You catch the beat, now know the groove," suggests that the listener has just caught onto the beat of the song and is now being encouraged to understand the groove or rhythm of the music. It implies that the listener is still in the process of getting into the music and needs to fully comprehend the rhythm in order to fully appreciate the song.
Overall, both sentences convey a similar message of encouraging the listener to fully engage with the music and feel the rhythm of the song. However, the first sentence implies that the listener is already somewhat familiar with the beat, while the second sentence suggests that the listener is just starting to get into the music. |
