What are the names of the people who race around New York? Answer the above question based on the context below: Three sailors – Gabey, Chip, and Ozzie – begin their shore leave, excited for their 24 hours in New York. Riding the subway, Gabey falls in love with the picture of "Miss Turnstiles", who is actually called Ivy Smith, and fantasizes about what she's like in real life. The sailors race around New York attempting to find her in the brief period they have. They are assisted by, and become romantically involved with, two women, and pair up: Ozzie with Claire, an anthropologist; and Chip with Hildy Esterhazy, an aggressively amorous taxi driver. Claire claims that she's found her passionate "Prehistoric Man" in Ozzie at the Museum of Anthropological History. Hildy invites Chip to "Come Up to My Place". Finally finding Ivy, Gabey takes her on an imaginary date down his home town "Main Street" in a studio in Symphonic Hall - not realising that she is also from the same town. Later, Chip sincerely falls for Hildy telling her "You're Awful" – that is, awful nice to be with. That evening, all the couples meet at the top of the Empire State Building to celebrate a night "On the Town". But when an ashamed Ivy walks out on Gabey to get to her late night work as a cooch dancer, the friends tell a despondent Gabey, "You Can Count on Me", joined by Hildy's annoying, but well-meaning roommate, Lucy Schmeeler. They have a number of adventures before reuniting with Ivy at Coney Island just as their 24-hour leave ends and they must return to their ship to head off to sea. Although their future is uncertain, the boys and girls share one last kiss on the pier as a new crew of sailors heads out into the city for their leave ("New York, New York" reprise).

The names of the people who race around New York are Gabey, Chip, and Ozzie.

What are the two main types of natural selection?

The two main types of natural selection are: 1. Directional selection: This is when individuals with extreme traits are favored over those with average traits, causing the population to shift towards one extreme. This occurs when the environment changes and favors a specific trait over others. For example, during a drought, individuals with longer beaks are favored in a population of birds because they can reach deeper into the ground to find water and food. 2. Stabilizing selection: This is when individuals with average traits are favored over those with extreme traits, causing the population to remain stable with no significant change. This occurs when the environment remains constant and favors the average trait. For example, human birth weight is typically stable, with babies born too small or too large being at a higher risk of health problems. Therefore, babies with an average birth weight have a higher chance of survival and reproduction.

Given a definition of a task and a sample input, break the definition into small parts. Each of those parts will have some instruction. Explain their meaning by showing an example that meets the criteria in the instruction. Use the following format: Part # : a key part of the definition. Usage: Sample response that meets the criteria from the key part. Explain why you think it meets the criteria.

Definition: Craft one correct answer to the question given in input. To make it more interesting, try to use non-stereotypical language if possible. Make sure your correct answer is reasonably long, consistent with the context, and requires common sense (instead of explicit extraction from the context.) In your answer, use as few words as possible from the given context. Use a response that is uncommon/non-stereotypical, so that it is less predictable. To be less repetitive, please vary your language for each question. Input: Context: Sean , Shannon and I were in the library from about 12 - 1 am watching 2 moose out the windows . The windows start at the ground and curve up and are the ceiling too . Well the moose were eating and the base of the window . Question: What country might this be in ? Output:

Part #1: Craft one correct answer to the question given in input. Usage: What country might this be in? A suitable response could be "Canada." This meets the criteria because it answers the question given in the input. Part #2: Use non-stereotypical language if possible. Usage: Instead of using a typical response such as "Canada," we can say "Norway," which is also a country with moose but might be less expected. This meets the criteria because it uses non-stereotypical language. Part #3: Make sure your correct answer is reasonably long, consistent with the context, and requires common sense. Usage: "The encounter with the moose in the library suggests it could be a country like Norway, where these majestic creatures are found." This meets the criteria because the response is reasonably long, consistent with the context, and requires common sense to understand the connection between moose and Norway. Part #4: Use as few words as possible from the given context. Usage: "The encounter with the moose in the library suggests it could be a country like Norway, where these majestic creatures are found." This meets the criteria because the response doesn't use specific words from the context like "Sean," "Shannon," or "12 - 1 am." Part #5: Use a response that is uncommon/non-stereotypical, so that it is less predictable. Usage: By suggesting "Norway" instead of "Canada," the response is uncommon and less predictable. This meets the criteria since it's an unexpected answer. Part #6: Vary your language for each question. Usage: If the next question were "What were the moose doing?" we could say, "The pair of moose were indulging in a meal near the window," which varies in language from the previous response. This meets the criteria because it shows varied language usage, avoiding repetition.

Given the question: Question: "What is not prominent?" Context: "Like the reptiles, birds are primarily uricotelic, that is, their kidneys extract nitrogenous waste from their bloodstream and excrete it as uric acid instead of urea or ammonia through the ureters into the intestine. Birds do not have a urinary bladder or external urethral opening and (with exception of the ostrich) uric acid is excreted along with feces as a semisolid waste. However, birds such as hummingbirds can be facultatively ammonotelic, excreting most of the nitrogenous wastes as ammonia. They also excrete creatine, rather than creatinine like mammals. This material, as well as the output of the intestines, emerges from the bird's cloaca. The cloaca is a multi-purpose opening: waste is expelled through it, most birds mate by joining cloaca, and females lay eggs from it. In addition, many species of birds regurgitate pellets. Males within Palaeognathae (with the exception of the kiwis), the Anseriformes (with the exception of screamers), and in rudimentary forms in Galliformes (but fully developed in Cracidae) possess a penis, which is never present in Neoaves. The length is thought to be related to sperm competition. When not copulating, it is hidden within the proctodeum compartment within the cloaca, just inside the vent. The digestive system of birds is unique, with a crop for storage and a gizzard that contains swallowed stones for grinding food to compensate for the lack of teeth. Most birds are highly adapted for rapid digestion to aid with flight. Some migratory birds have adapted to use protein from many parts of their bodies, including protein from the intestines, as additional energy during migration." Answer: The answer is:

The urinary bladder and external urethral opening are not prominent in birds, as they excrete nitrogenous waste as uric acid instead of urea or ammonia through the ureters into the intestine, and do not have a urinary bladder or external urethral opening.

Definition: In this task, you're given a question, along with three passages, 1, 2, and 3. Your job is to determine which passage can be used to answer the question by searching for further information using terms from the passage. Indicate your choice as 1, 2, or 3. Input: Question: How old was Hank Ballard when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Passage 1:The Settlers: Rise of an Empire () is a city-building game with real-time strategy elements, developed by Blue Byte and published by Ubisoft. Released for Microsoft Windows in September 2007, it is the seventh game in The Settlers series. In March 2008, Blue Byte released an expansion, The Settlers: Rise of an Empire - The Eastern Realm (), featuring new single-player campaign missions, new maps for both single-player and multiplayer modes, and an enhanced map editor. In September, they released The Settlers: Rise of an Empire - Gold Edition, containing the original game plus the Eastern Realm expansion, and additional single and multiplayer maps. The Gold Edition was also released on Steam and Uplay. In 2015, it was released on GOG.com, and in 2018, it was re-released as The Settlers: Rise of an Empire - History Edition. Passage 2:Mimas Peak () is a sharp conspicuous peak, rising to about west of the head of Saturn Glacier and west of the Dione Nunataks in the southeast part of Alexander Island, Antarctica. It was first seen and photographed from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on November 23, 1935, and mapped from these photos by W.L.G. Joerg. The peak was sighted from a distance in 1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and roughly positioned. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for its association with nearby Saturn Glacier, Mimas being one of the satellites of the planet Saturn. The peak and surrounding area were first mapped in detail from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition 1947–48, by D. Searle of the FIDS in 1960. Passage 3:The Midnighters were an American R&B group from Detroit, Michigan. They were an influential group in the 1950s and early 1960s, with many R&B hit records. They were also notable for launching the career of lead singer Hank Ballard and the worldwide dance craze the Twist. Between 1953 and 1962 the Midnighters had almost two dozen hits on the U.S. Pop & R&B charts. Their big hits included the million-selling Billboard Top 10 pop hits "Finger Poppin' Time" (for which they received a 1961 Grammy Award nomination), and "Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go". The Midnighters also had 13 Top 10 R&B hits, including three that reached number 1. Their Top 10 R&B hits included "Work with Me, Annie", "It's Love Baby (24 Hours a Day)", "Annie Had a Baby", "The Hoochi Coochi Coo", "Teardrops on Your Letter", "Get It", "The Float" and "Nothing but Good". They received the Rhythm and Blues Foundation's prestigious Pioneer Award in 1992 and were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999. The Midnighters are also noted for achieving a music industry milestone in 1960, by becoming the first group in history to place 3 singles in the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. The group's lead singer, Hank Ballard, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. The Midnighters as a group were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 14, 2012.

A friend asked me to answer this question: What does the apocalypse Guy warns Eep about turn out to be?, using the article: A cave family called the Croods survives a natural disaster, due to the overprotective nature of their stubborn and stern patriarch named Grug. The only one who questions the family's sheltered life is his teenaged daughter Eep, who frequently disobeys her father's orders out of curiosity, which he finds dangerous. Grug and Eep, along with her mother and his wife Ugga, her grandmother Gran, and her younger brother and sister, Thunk and Sandy, face time sheltered in their cave home. Eep sneaks out when she sees what she discovers to be a torch of fire, and she encounters an inventive modern human boy named Guy and his pet sloth Belt. He warns her of an impending apocalypse and offers to take her with him, but concerned for her family, Eep stays, getting a shell horn from him to blow in case she needs his help. Reuniting with her frantic family, she tries to tell them what Guy told her, but fearing things that are "different" and "new", they destroy her horn. A massive earthquake then destroys their home, and to avoid carnivores and omnivores, they descend down into a tropical forest that lay hidden behind their cave all the time. Encountering a "Macawnivore", a brightly colored feline that Gran dubs "Chunky", the family flees him until he is scared off by swarms of piranhakeets that devour a ground whale. Using another horn, Eep calls to Guy who rescues them from the birds with his fire. After a great deal of confusion regarding their first contact with fire, Grug imprisons Guy in a log until he can guide them somewhere safe. Guy suggests the Croods go to a mountain where there are caves because the Crood family desires a cave. Grug refuses at first, but he decides to go with the promise of a cave. The other Croods were worried that they would get tired and bicker, but Grug doesn't listen., what would be the answer ? Answer:

The apocalypse that Guy warns Eep about turns out to be a series of catastrophic natural disasters, including massive earthquakes, which ultimately destroy the Croods' cave home. These events force the Crood family to venture out into the unknown, tropical forest that was hidden behind their cave. With Guy's help and his knowledge about the impending apocalypse, the family embarks on a journey to find a safer place to live, heading towards a mountain where caves can provide them shelter once again. The apocalypse serves as a driving force for the Croods to leave their familiar surroundings, learn new skills, and face the challenges of an ever-changing world.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing renewable energy sources, and how do they affect the global economy? Additionally, what potential benefits and drawbacks could developing countries experience from transitioning to renewable energy sources? | Pros | Cons | | --- | --- | | Renewable energy sources are clean and sustainable, reducing carbon emissions and air pollution. | The initial cost of implementing renewable energy systems can be high. | | Renewable energy is often cheaper than fossil fuels in the long term, as the cost of fossil fuels fluctuates with global markets. | The availability of renewable energy sources can be affected by weather conditions, such as cloudy days or calm winds. | | Renewable energy sources can provide energy security, as countries can produce their own energy instead of relying on imports. | The intermittency of renewable energy sources can lead to grid stability issues, particularly when transitioning from a fossil fuel-based grid. | | The growth of the renewable energy sector can create new job opportunities and stimulate economic growth. | Developing and implementing new renewable energy technologies can take time and resources. | | Developing renewable energy sources can contribute to sustainable development and poverty reduction in developing countries. | The environmental impact of renewable energy sources, such as the land use for solar and wind farms, can still have negative effects on local ecosystems. | Overall, while there are some challenges to transitioning to renewable energy sources, the potential benefits for both the environment and the economy make it a promising option for the future.

Developing countries can experience several benefits from transitioning to renewable energy sources. Firstly, it can reduce their dependence on expensive imported fossil fuels, providing energy security and reducing their vulnerability to price fluctuations. Secondly, renewable energy can create new job opportunities and stimulate economic growth in developing countries, particularly in rural areas where many renewable energy sources are located. Additionally, developing countries can reduce their carbon emissions and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change. However, there are also potential drawbacks to transitioning to renewable energy sources in developing countries. The initial cost of implementing renewable energy systems can be high, which can be a challenge for countries with limited financial resources. Additionally, the intermittency of renewable energy sources can be a challenge for grid stability, particularly in countries with less developed energy infrastructure. Finally, the environmental impact of renewable energy sources, such as the land use for solar and wind farms, can still have negative effects on local ecosystems. Overall, while there are challenges to transitioning to renewable energy sources, the potential benefits make it a promising option for both developed and developing countries.

Additionally, what potential benefits and drawbacks could developing countries experience from transitioning to renewable energy sources? | Pros | Cons | | --- | --- | | Renewable energy sources are clean and sustainable, reducing carbon emissions and air pollution. | The initial cost of implementing renewable energy systems can be high. | | Renewable energy is often cheaper than fossil fuels in the long term, as the cost of fossil fuels fluctuates with global markets. | The availability of renewable energy sources can be affected by weather conditions, such as cloudy days or calm winds. | | Renewable energy sources can provide energy security, as countries can produce their own energy instead of relying on imports. | The intermittency of renewable energy sources can lead to grid stability issues, particularly when transitioning from a fossil fuel-based grid. | | The growth of the renewable energy sector can create new job opportunities and stimulate economic growth. | Developing and implementing new renewable energy technologies can take time and resources. | | Developing renewable energy sources can contribute to sustainable development and poverty reduction in developing countries. | The environmental impact of renewable energy sources, such as the land use for solar and wind farms, can still have negative effects on local ecosystems. | Overall, while there are some challenges to transitioning to renewable energy sources, the potential benefits for both the environment and the economy make it a promising option for the future. ### Response: Developing countries can experience several benefits from transitioning to renewable energy sources. Firstly, it can reduce their dependence on expensive imported fossil fuels, providing energy security and reducing their vulnerability to price fluctuations. Secondly, renewable energy can create new job opportunities and stimulate economic growth in developing countries, particularly in rural areas where many renewable energy sources are located. Additionally, developing countries can reduce their carbon emissions and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change. However, there are also potential drawbacks to transitioning to renewable energy sources in developing countries. The initial cost of implementing renewable energy systems can be high, which can be a challenge for countries with limited financial resources. Additionally, the intermittency of renewable energy sources can be a challenge for grid stability, particularly in countries with less developed energy infrastructure. Finally, the environmental impact of renewable energy sources, such as the land use for solar and wind farms, can still have negative effects on local ecosystems. Overall, while there are challenges to transitioning to renewable energy sources, the potential benefits make it a promising option for both developed and developing countries.

Identify the major cause for the given issue.

Issue: Climate change

The major cause of climate change is the emission of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, such as oil and coal. These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, which leads to an increase in global temperature. Other human activities, such as deforestation, livestock farming, and the release of pollutants such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) contribute to the increase in global temperatures.

Please answer the following question: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: A recent survey of 2000 parents in Britain showed that they are often afraid of science questions asked by their curious children only because they have no idea what the answer is. Here is a list of some simple questions that you can ask your parents to see if they know the answers. Q: Why is the sky blue? A: You probably know white sunlight is made up of seven colors. While it moves in a straight line when going through space, it starts to divide as it hits "raised area" in the atmosphere. The ones with longest wavelengths pass through easily. The blue , however , can be taken in by the gas molecules because it has a shorter wavelength , which in turn scatters it in different directions. That's why when you look up at the sky, it appears to be blue. Q:Why does the moon sometimes appear during the daytime? A: The simple answer to that is because just like any other object it is being lit by the sun. As long as it is around 45 degrees or even 90 degrees off the sun, it will receive light and be able to be seen. The only time it is not able to be seen during its 28-day orbit around the earth is when it is right between the earth and the sun. That's because its back , which is not lit by the sun, is facing us. Q: Where do birds/ honeybees go in winter? A: While the bird part is quite easy, since a lot of them get together and travel, the honeybee part is likely to puzzle your parents. It turns out that these busy insects stop being that active when the temperature drops below 50degF. Instead ,they get together in the lower central area of the hive and form a ball around their queen. This helps keep both warm enough to survive the cold winter months. Question: The sky looks blue mainly because the color blue in the sunlight _ . Options: A: has the longest wavelength among all the colors B: cannot be taken in by the gas molecules C: doesn't hit "raised area" in the atmosphere D: cannot pass through space successfully A:

has the longest wavelength among all the colors

AP Photo Rand Paul tweets fake Hillary Clinton to-do list Kentucky Republican Rand Paul continued his Twitter trolling of his rival presidential candidates with an attack on Hillary Clinton. After the Clinton campaign tweeted an image of a “to do” list for campaign manager Robby Mook with a list of items for the next two months of the campaign, Paul tweeted his own fake “to do” list for Team Clinton. Story Continued Below The Clinton campaign’s list included six relatively banal campaign functions like “Sign off on office contracts” and “Set staffing plans June-Dec.” Paul’s note had four items: “Sign off on new private server location”; “Hire next stage of reporters to avoid real questions”; “Finalize plan to evade Benghazi testimony”; and “Final update of foreign ‘contributions’ list.” The Kentucky senator has played the role of Twitter troll on other occasions. He has directed jabs at Marco Rubio for wanting to “build a moat” around Cuba and at Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney, who, he joked, have exchanged friendship bracelets.

Generate an example input to an instruction that asks the assistant to "write a report on the current status of the global economy".

The global economy is still suffering from the impacts of COVID-19. In 2020, the global economy saw its worst decline since the Great Depression, with global GDP dropping by 4.3%. In 2021, the outlook is more promising, with the International Monetary Fund forecasting that global GDP will grow by 5.5%. In the US, the economy has recovered somewhat, with the unemployment rate decreasing from its peak of 14.7% in April 2020 to 6.3% as of February 2021. Consumption and investment have also been on a steady increase. However, continued government spending to support the economy remains an issue, as the US government debt exceeds $28 trillion. In Europe, the situation is more mixed. while Germany, France, and Russia have seen some signs of recovery, the UK is still in recession. The pandemic has also hit emerging markets especially hard, with countries such as Brazil, India, and Nigeria seeing steep declines in GDP. Overall, the global economy is slowly recovering, but there is still a long way to go.

Generate a short story of fiction with a length of less than 500 words.

Carol was exhausted after a long day at work. She had started working at the vet's office two months ago, but it felt like it had already been a year. She was constantly busy running around and handling the animals, and it was starting to take its toll on her. She had just gotten off the bus and was walking home when she noticed a small tiger cub in a nearby alleyway. She cautiously approached and the cub made a playful meow. Carol felt a tug on her heartstrings. This must have been somebody's pet that had gotten lost. She bent down and picked the cub up, slowly petting its soft fur. The cub opened its eyes and looked intently at her. Carol thought for a moment, and decided to take the cub with her home. She felt a deep connection to this helpless animal, and decided to keep it with her as a companion. Carol named the cub Florence after her grandmother, and they quickly bonded over the next few weeks. Florence served as a reminder of the kindness that was left in the world, and provided much-needed solace after a long day at work. The cub was always eager to play and cuddle with Carol, giving her an immense feeling of contentment. One evening, out of the corner of her eye, Carol spotted an unfamiliar figure walking slowly past her apartment. When she turned to get a better look, the figure was gone. She was surprised but didn't think much of it – until the next morning when she woke up to find the same figure in her living room. She sensed an air of familiarity between the figure and Florence, and suddenly it all clicked into place. Carol had taken in a tiger that was meant to be a part of a royal family. She returned Florence to her rightful place, but the bond they had made would never be forgotten. From then on, Carol knew it was her calling to help animals in need, and she vowed to always be there to provide a loving home when they needed it most.

I read this background article the other day: Precipitation in grasslands is equal to or less than evapotranspiration and causes soil development to operate in relative drought. Leaching and migration of weathering products is therefore decreased. Large amounts of evaporation causes buildup of calcium (Ca) and other large cations flocculate clay minerals and fulvic acids in the upper soil profile. Impermeable clay limits downward percolation of water and fulvic acids, reducing chemical weathering and podzolization. The depth to the maximum concentration of clay increases in areas of increased precipitation and leaching. When leaching is decreased, the Ca precipitates as calcite (CaCO3) in the lower soil levels, a layer known as caliche. I am facing a new situation today: Two farmers had neighboring parcels of land. Bob had a nice parcel of old growth forest, while the other farmer, named Bill , had a similar sized parcel covered in grasslands. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which farmer didn't have soil development operate in relative drought on his parcel?

To determine which farmer didn't have soil development operate in relative drought on his parcel, let's analyze the background article provided and apply its information to the two parcels of land owned by Bob and Bill. Step 1: Understand the characteristics of grasslands mentioned in the article - Precipitation in grasslands is equal to or less than evapotranspiration - Soil development in grasslands operates in relative drought - Leaching and migration of weathering products are decreased in grasslands Step 2: Identify the parcels owned by Bob and Bill - Bob owns a parcel of old growth forest - Bill owns a parcel covered in grasslands Step 3: Assess the soil development in the parcels - Bill's grassland parcel has soil development operating in relative drought, as stated in the article - Bob's old growth forest parcel is not specifically mentioned in the article but, due to the characteristics of forests (higher moisture content and different ecosystem processes), we can assume that the soil development in his parcel operates in more favorable conditions for moisture retention and would not be experiencing relative drought. Step 4: Determine which farmer didn't have soil development operate in relative drought - Based on step 3, Bob is the farmer whose parcel did not have soil development operating in relative drought, since his old growth forest would likely contain more moisture-retentive soil than Bill's grassland parcel.

Given a newspaper title and content, re-format the document into a blog post.

Newspaper Title: “The impact of COVID-19 on the economy” Newspaper Content: The coronavirus pandemic has caused a major disruption to the global economy – many businesses have been hit hard by the associated lockdowns, and unemployment has risen sharply. It remains to be seen what the long-term implications of the crisis will be, but economists have warned that some sectors may take years to recover.

The coronavirus pandemic has had a devastating impact on the global economy. With lockdowns in place, many businesses have been forced to shut their doors and an unprecedented number of people now find themselves out of work. Although the full extent of the economic damage caused by the pandemic will only become clear over time, economists have warned that some sectors may take years to recover. For this reason, it’s important to consider the short-term and long-term effects of the crisis and make plans now to mitigate the damage. It is clear that the coronavirus pandemic has already had a significant impact on the economy, and it is likely that this impact will be felt for years to come. It’s up to all of us to work together to ensure that the economic damage caused by the pandemic is minimized as much as possible.

Q:Question: "What part of the constitution are affirmative action programs based in?" Context: "Ideas for affirmative action came as early as the Reconstruction Era (1865-1877) in which a former slave population lacked the skills and resources for sustainable living. In 1865, General William Tecumseh Sherman proposed to divide the land and goods from Georgia and grant it to families of color which became the "Forty acres and a mule" policy. The proposal was never widely adopted due to strong political opposition. Nearly a century later (1950s-1960s), policies to assist classes of individuals reemerged during the Civil Rights Movement. The civil rights guarantees came through the interpretation of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. The decisions came to be known as affirmative action in which mandatory, as well as voluntary programs, affirmed the civil rights of people of color. Furthermore, these affirmative action programs protected people of color from the present effects stemming from past discrimination. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy became the first to utilize the term "affirmative action" in Executive Order 10925 to ensure that government contractors "take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin." This executive order realized the government's intent to create equal opportunities for all qualified people. This executive order was eventually amended and superseded by Lyndon B. Johnson's Executive Order 11246 which prevented discrimination based on race, color, religion, and national origin by organizations which received federal contracts and subcontracts. In 1967, the order was amended to include sex as well. The Reagan administration was opposed to the affirmative action requirements of Executive Order 11246, but these contemplated changes[which?] faced bi-partisan opposition in Congress." Answer: A:

Affirmative action programs are primarily based in the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution. The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, was designed to protect the civil rights of the newly freed slaves. The Equal Protection Clause in Section 1 of this amendment states: "No State shall … deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." This clause guarantees equal treatment under the law for all citizens. The concept of affirmative action gained momentum during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s, where the federal government began to actively address the existing social and economic inequalities for minority groups. Affirmative action policies aimed to create a level playing field for people of color and members of other disadvantaged groups, ensuring equal opportunities in education, employment, and government contracts. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy issued Executive Order 10925, which first introduced the term "affirmative action" and required government contractors to guarantee equal employment opportunities without regard to race, creed, color, or national origin. This executive order was later expanded by President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Executive Order 11246 in 1965, which not only applied to race, color, religion, and national origin but also included sex as a protected category in 1967. While the affirmative action programs are grounded in the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause, these executive orders have played a crucial role in shaping and implementing affirmative action policies across various sectors of the United States.

Write a title for this article: Champion sailors have been known to learn their craft on Lake Travis, just outside Austin. The hills and topography surrounding the body of water whip up challenging winds, making it a sublime place for budding athletes to refine their tacking and jibbing skills ahead of a lifetime of competition. SailPoint, a digital-identity-management firm with headquarters two miles from the lake, is preparing for a race of its own. Like many companies, SailPoint has contemplated an initial public offering. But global economic headwinds have given the company pause. “The markets are certainly uncertain,” says Mark McClain, CEO and founder of the firm, which has more than $100 million in annual revenue. At presstime, just two U.S. tech companies had gone public this year: SecureWorks scwx , a cybersecurity unit spun off from Dell, and Acacia Communications acia , a fiber-optics purveyor. Dell shoved SecureWorks out the door in April on its way to a $67 billion mega-merger with EMC emc , only to watch the fledgling company’s share price sag. Acacia made a far stronger debut in May. In June the Bain Capital–backed Blue Coat filed for a public offering before reversing course and selling out to Symantec symc , the lumbering antivirus software firm, for $4.6 billion. Line, Twilio, and AppDynamics appear most likely to go public next. The biggest IPO drought in years has put a damper on an otherwise vibrant cybersecurity sector. Not long ago investors plowed funds into the firms at lofty valuations. Now there is a backlog of companies waiting for an exit, among them Veracode, Carbon Black, ForeScout, Okta, Zscaler, and Optiv. For more on tech IPOs, watch this Fortune video: “Financially, SecureWorks is making us all sit back and reevaluate,” says Mike DeCesare, CEO of ForeScout, a network security company with $125 million in annual revenue and a billion-dollar valuation. “The question is, Why would you go public right now? If you don’t need the money, what is it about the current environment that you find attractive?” The clock is ticking. In the business of digital defense, the race to stay ahead of hackers’ attacks means that innovative strategies steadily depreciate. “One of the risks of delaying an IPO is that you could miss your window,” cautions David Cowan, an investor at Bessemer Venture Partners. “You don’t want to be an old private cybersecurity company.” Furthermore, many cybersecurity firms aren’t well suited for public markets, says Asheem Chandna, an investor at Greylock Partners. “We’ll see over the coming couple of years a steady clip of M&A,” he says. SailPoint’s McClain continues to hold his breath. “To use a silly sailing analogy,” he says, “why would you launch your boat in this storm?” A version of this article appears in the July 1, 2016 issue of Fortune with the headline “Fish or Cut Bait.” Title:

Explain why computers are faster than humans in solving math problems.

Computers are faster than humans in solving math problems because of their ability to run arithmetic calculations much faster than humans can. Computers can quickly process billions of operations every second and can be programmed to solve complex problems in a fraction of the time needed by humans. In addition, computers are able to execute instructions more consistently and accurately than humans, resulting in faster and more accurate solutions.

In response to the worsening winter weather conditions in Texas and other parts of the United States, millions of Texans have been struggling with days-long blackouts and soaring energy costs. Due to weather-sensitive electricity generation sources and grid maintenance, energy providers have been unable to keep up with the energy demands. This has resulted in homes and businesses being left without power and businesses seeking to recover the lost profits. The US Energy Secretary has announced an investigation into the matter and an $80 million aid package for the affected people and businesses.

Compare and contrast the function of an electric fan and an air conditioner.

An electric fan and an air conditioner both serve the purpose of cooling down an environment, but they have some distinct differences. An electric fan simply circulates the already-existing air in the room, whereas an air conditioner cools the air by going through a refrigeration cycle. An electric fan has a limited cooling ability, whereas an air conditioner can cool down air to a much lower temperature. Additionally, electric fans are more cost-effective than air conditioners.

All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes. For a man, small problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. Then, the salesman tries to sell the customer something else. "I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned." Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual reply is, "This is the right color and maybe the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on." However, a woman does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on(... ) need, and she is only "having a look around". She is always open to persuasion, really she believes in what the saleswoman tells her. She will try on any number of things. Most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected sale. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one room to another, often going back over again, before choosing the dresses she wants to try on.

Find the right ending to this passage. (CNN) -- If anyone wants to transform the old, lifeless, "white-guys-in suits" caricature of the Republican Party, look no further: Your dream candidate has arrived. Gabriel Gomez is an antidote to the stuffy Republican establishment that only says "No" and scares next-generation voters away. Sledding uphill in traditionally Democratic Massachusetts, the young and energetic Gomez is running to fill Secretary of State John Kerry's vacated Senate seat, calling himself "a new kind of Republican." Surprisingly, in this bluest of states, he has drawn within single digits of his Democratic challenger. Even stranger, perhaps, is that GOP money and support has not matched the flood of Democratic money that is pouring in on behalf of his opponent. Gomez has made it a close race with only a modicum of GOP help. There is a sense in Massachusetts, as everywhere, that "Washington is out of control, like 2010," one of OPTIONS: - Alex Castellanos's consultants told me, "and we need to send an outsider to watch the insiders." - CNN's consultants told me, "and we need to send an outsider to watch the insiders." - Castellanos's consultants told me, "and we need to send an outsider to watch the insiders." - Democratic's consultants told me, "and we need to send an outsider to watch the insiders." - Ed Markey's consultants told me, "and we need to send an outsider to watch the insiders." - GOP's consultants told me, "and we need to send an outsider to watch the insiders." - Gabriel Gomez's consultants told me, "and we need to send an outsider to watch the insiders." - Gomez's consultants told me, "and we need to send an outsider to watch the insiders." - John Kerry's consultants told me, "and we need to send an outsider to watch the insiders." - Massachusetts's consultants told me, "and we need to send an outsider to watch the insiders." - Republican's consultants told me, "and we need to send an outsider to watch the insiders." - Republican Party's consultants told me, "and we need to send an outsider to watch the insiders." - Senate's consultants told me, "and we need to send an outsider to watch the insiders." - Washington's consultants told me, "and we need to send an outsider to watch the insiders."

Give me an example of a product you considered buying but decided not to.

Recently I wanted to buy a new laptop but ultimately decided against it. I was looking for a new laptop that had a good processor and lots of memory, but I found that the prices were too much for what I could reasonably afford. So I decided to wait for a sale or for new versions of laptops to be released.

You are a paranormal investigator trying to solve a mysterious disappearance in a haunted house. The only clue left behind is a set of three numbers etched onto the wall: 666, 13, 39. You know that the numbers hold the key to unlocking the mystery, but deciphering their meaning will require tapping into the supernatural. Use your knowledge of numerology and occult symbolism to determine the significance of each number and uncover the truth behind the disappearance.

As a paranormal investigator, I understand that the numbers 666, 13, and 39 have significant occult symbolism and may hold the key to unlocking the mystery behind the disappearance in the haunted house. 666 is commonly associated with the devil or the antichrist in Christian mythology. However, in numerology, it is considered a powerful number that represents creativity, imagination, and manifestation. It is possible that the number 666 was etched onto the wall as a symbol of power or as a way to harness the energy of creativity and manifestation. 13 is often considered an unlucky number in Western culture, but it also has strong occult symbolism. In tarot, the 13th card is the Death card, which represents transformation and change. In numerology, 13 is associated with upheaval and transformation. It is possible that the number 13 was etched onto the wall to represent a significant change or transformation that occurred in the haunted house. 39 is a more difficult number to decipher, but it may hold significance in Chinese numerology. In Chinese culture, the number 39 is considered unlucky because it sounds similar to the word for "death." It is possible that the number 39 was etched onto the wall as a warning or a symbol of impending danger. Overall, the numbers 666, 13, and 39 may hold clues to the mysterious disappearance in the haunted house. By tapping into the supernatural and using my knowledge of numerology and occult symbolism, I may be able to uncover the truth behind the disappearance and solve the mystery.

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.

Read the following context and choose the correct option to answer the question. Context: My partner’s parents decided to help with all the planning and set up for his sister’s wedding. I am sure part of the reason was because they had offered to foot part of the expenses. There came a point in the planning, when his mom seemed to sort of run-amok with her ideas. His sister ended up accepting some plans for her wedding that I don’t think she was really that fond of, but she went along with them anyways. One of the things that stands out the most to me, was this idea that they would make a large wooden box with a hole in it, and people would smash their dinner plates into the box. Then the fragments of the broken plates would be put into metal keepsake tins for the guests to take home. (The tins were cute, the trash inside seemed very weird to me.) So imagine it’s the evening of your wedding reception, and people are in a corner of the room smashing their plates into a box. And then part of your wedding party is supposed to go in the back and fix up the tins of broken ceramic ware. It was like an exercise in how to needlessly generate extra stress hormones in a large room full of people. My partner’s sister looked like she cringed every time someone threw a plate in the box. It is weird (and wasteful) to propose to break brand new plates for a tradition that isn’t even part of your ancestry. It’s weird to railroad the people getting married into accepting to do things they don’t really want. Soon after that, my partner’s mother offered that she would be happy to help us plan and throw our wedding too, just like they did for his sister. I think the experience made us both content to elope. Question: After the end of the story the partner is feeling how about having mother involved in planning her wedding? Options: A. great B. not enough information C. excited D. Awful A:

Please answer the following question: A friend asked me to answer this question: Who might have been Sophie's father?, using the article: On the Greek island of Kalokairi, 20-year-old bride-to-be Sophie Sheridan reveals to her bridesmaids, Ali and Lisa, that she has secretly invited three men to her wedding without telling her mother, Donna. They are the men that her mother's diary reveals could have been her father: Irish-American architect Sam Carmichael, Swedish adventurer and writer Bill Anderson, and British banker Harry Bright. She dreams of being given away by her father at her wedding, and believes that after she spends time with them she will know which is her father. Sophie's mother Donna, who owns a villa and runs it not very successfully as a hotel, is ecstatic to reunite with her former Dynamos bandmates, wisecracking author Rosie Mulligan and wealthy multiple divorcée Tanya Chesham-Leigh, and reveals her bafflement at her daughter's desire to get married. Donna shows off the villa to Rosie and Tanya. The three men arrive and Sophie smuggles them to their room. She doesn't reveal that she believes one of them is her father, but does explain that she and not her mother sent the invitations. She begs them to hide so Donna will be surprised by the old friends of whom she "so often" favorably speaks. They overhear Donna working and swear not to reveal Sophie's secret. Donna spies them and is dumbfounded to find herself facing former lovers, demanding they leave. She confides in Tanya and Rosie that she truly does not know which of the three fathered Sophie. Tanya and Rosie rally her spirits by getting her to dance with an all female ensemble of staff and islanders. Sophie finds the men aboard Bill's yacht, and they sail around Kalokairi, telling stories of Donna's carefree youth. Sophie plans to tell her fiancé Sky about her ploy, but loses her nerve. Sky and Sophie sing to each other, but Sky is abducted for his bachelor party., what would be the answer ? Answer:

The possible fathers of Sophie Sheridan could be one of the three men her mother's diary reveals: Irish-American architect Sam Carmichael, Swedish adventurer and writer Bill Anderson, and British banker Harry Bright.

Extract the answer to the question from the following context. Question: What aspect of Burke's writing was overlooked? Context: Burke claimed that Bolingbroke's arguments against revealed religion could apply to all social and civil institutions as well. Lord Chesterfield and Bishop Warburton (and others) initially thought that the work was genuinely by Bolingbroke rather than a satire. All the reviews of the work were positive, with critics especially appreciative of Burke's quality of writing. Some reviewers failed to notice the ironic nature of the book, which led to Burke stating in the preface to the second edition (1757) that it was a satire. Answer:

The aspect of Burke's writing that was overlooked was the ironic nature of the book.

Q:Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: Every day from the time we wake up until the time we go to bed, we are bombarded with information from all sides, from TV, radio, newspapers and books; from family, friends, and colleagues. As a new cable television subscriber, I am ly amazed at the quantity and varying levels of information quality on cable television. Including the networks, there are eight TV "news" organizations vying to provide us with all the information we can possibly absorb. Newspaper, magazines, books, radio, the Internet, email, snail mail, and the telephone all compete for our attention and our minds. At the office conversations around the water cooler and coffee maker serve to spread even more items of information. There is valuable information out there about the world we live in, on topics as varied as health, safety, traffic, nutrition, business, finance, philosophy, nature, science, weather, history and the human condition. There is also a large amount of misleading and outright false information, not just on controversial subjects such as politics and religion but on any topic one can think of, including all of the topics mentioned above. With all this information coming at us from all directions, how does one sift through it all to sort out the facts from the fiction, the truth from the lies, the more important from the less important? Should we turn off the TV, cancel our newspaper subscriptions, disconnect our phones and modems to become information "hermits"? Probably not. A better method of sifting through the information wave without being overwhelmed and confused is to become a skeptical inquirer-or skeptic-with regard to the surrounding world. By "skeptic"-I do not mean a cynic-a person who rejects new ideas simply because they are new. A skeptic is one who questions the validity of a particular claim by calling for evidence to prove or disprove it. Skepticism is a method, not a position.

Explain the concepet of a “worst case scenario”.

A worst case scenario is an extreme or unfavorable situation that could occur, such as when planning for worst case scenarios, it is often assumed that all possible combinations of events could lead to the worst possible outcome. Worst case scenarios are sometimes used to analyze the potential consequences of a decision or course of action. For example, a business might evaluate the potential costs and benefits of a certain strategy, and consider a worst case scenario in which the strategy turns out to be unsuccessful.

Analyze the given poem in terms of its literary form, rhyme, rhythm and figurative language. "To Sleep" by John Keats

I O soft embalmer of the still midnight! Shutting, with careful fingers and benign, Our gloom-pleas'd eyes, embower'd from the light, Enshaded in forgetfulness divine; II O soothest Sleep! if it be sleep to lie Nestled in flower-leaves and hear the hum Of busy noontide bees! and if to fly In the mid summer, when the sky is blue, III Lulled with sunset winds, or when the rain Is thy sweet season, and the stormy dews Of tempests; and if thou art born again To breathe the autumnal sigh of the rose, IV Or in the quiet of an unanxious mind, And there forget the troubles of the world, And the warm thought of uncomplaining love, And in the balm of love, the voice of love, And the enchantments of love, the sounds of love, V And in the valley of the shadow of death, Where the pale priest doth his solitary work, And the grave-digger, on his way to the tomb, Carries his spade in silence; and in the night VI Of the tempestuous sea, and the wandering stars, And the shadows of the deep, and the dream Of the world beyond the grave;—O soothest Sleep! This poem is written in six stanzas, each composed of four lines or quatrains. It follows a rhyme scheme of ABAB, with each quatrain ending with a couplet that rhymes with each other. The poem also employs a smooth and flowing rhythm with regular meter, emphasizing the sense of calm and peacefulness throughout the poem. The poem is mostly written in iambic tetrameter, with four beats per line, however, a few lines vary with iambic trimeter and pentameter. In terms of figurative language, the entire poem is an extended metaphor comparing sleep to a soothing and comforting presence. It begins with the metaphor of sleep as an "embalmer" that "embowers" and shuts our "gloom-pleased eyes" into "forgetfulness divine," suggesting that sleep is a kind of death, a release from the worries and pains of the waking world. Keats describes sleep as "soft" and "soothing," with the ability to transport the sleeper to peaceful scenes of nature, such as "nestling in flower-leaves" and listening to the "hum of busy noontide bees." He also suggests that sleep can be a refuge from the stormy troubles of life, a place to forget the cares of the world and the pain of love. The final stanza of the poem extends the metaphor even further, imagining sleep as a guide through the "valley of the shadow of death" and a glimpse of the "world beyond the grave." Overall, "To Sleep" is a masterful example of Keats' ability to use poetic language to capture the essence of a powerful emotion or experience, in this case, the deep, peaceful relief of sleep.

Given those answer options, answer the question: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Smart job-seekers need to rid themselves of several standard myths about interviewing before they start looking for a job. What follows is a list of some of these untruths and some tips to help you do your best at your next interview. Myth 1: The aim of interviewing is to obtain (means "get") a job offer. Only half true. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. That often means rejecting job offers you don't want! So before you please an employer, be sure you want the job. Myth 2: Always please the interviewer Not true. Try to please yourself. Of course, don't be hostile--nobody wants to hire someone disagreeable. But there is plainly a muddle ground between being too ingratiating and being hostile. Myth 3: Try to control the interview Nobody "controls" an interview. When someone tries to control us, we resent it. When we try to control others, they resent us. Remember you can't control what an employer thinks of you, just as he can't control what you think of him. So he is ready to give and take when being interviewed; never control the interview. Myth 4: Never interrupt the interviewer Study the style of the effective conversationalists: they interrupt and are interrupted! An exciting conversation always makes us feel free--free to interrupt, to disagree, to agree enthusiastically. Just _ Try being yourself for a change. Employers will either like or dislike you, but at least you'll have made an impression. Leaving an employer indifferent is the worst impression you can make. Question: The right attitude to a job interviewer is to be _ . Answer: A:

Ingratiating B: Hostile C: Genuine and open-minded D: Indifferent Answer: C: Genuine and open-minded

Q:Question: What does Dr. Malcolm Sayer say to Leonard Lowe at the end of the movie? If there is no answer, please output "Insufficient information to provide an answer.". Movie title: Awakenings Context: In 1969, Dr. Malcolm Sayer (Robin Williams) is a dedicated and caring physician at a Bronx hospital. After working extensively with the catatonic patients who survived the 1917-1928 encephalitis lethargica epidemic, Sayer discovers that certain stimuli reach beyond the patients' respective catatonic states: Activities such as catching a ball, hearing familiar music, and experiencing human touch all have unique effects on particular patients and offer a glimpse into their worlds. While patient Leonard Lowe (Robert De Niro) proves elusive in this regard, Sayer soon discovers that Lowe is able to communicate with him using a Ouija board.After attending a lecture on the subject of L-Dopa and its success with Parkinson's sufferers, Sayer believes the drug may offer a breakthrough for his own group of patients. A trial run with Lowe yields astounding results, as he completely "awakens" from his catatonic state; inspiring Sayer to seek funding so that all his patients can receive L-Dopa and experience "awakenings" back to reality.Meanwhile, Leonard is adjusting to his new life and becomes romantically interested in Paula (Penelope Ann Miller), the daughter of another patient, and begins spending time with her when she comes to the hospital to visit her father. Leonard also begins to chafe at the restrictions on him as an in-patient, desiring the freedom to come and go as he pleases, and stirs up a bit of a revolt in the process of arguing his case repeatedly to Sayer and the hospital administration. Sayer notices that as Leonard grows more agitated while battling administrators and staff about his perceived confinement, a number of facial and body tics are starting to manifest that Leonard has difficulty controlling.While Sayer and the hospital staff continue to delight in the success of L-Dopa with this group of patients, they soon find that it is a temporary triumph. As the first to "awaken", Leonard is also the first to demonstrate the limited duration of this "awakening": His tics grow more and more prominent,... A:

List two methods for reducing water consumption.

Two methods for reducing water consumption include using efficient fixtures, such as low-flow showerheads and toilet flush valves, and changing daily habits, such as taking shorter showers and turning off the faucet while brushing teeth.
