t0.1330785 | You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. | Process: - Blood sugar levels increase after a meal - Cells in the pancreas release insulin - Insulin causes the body to absorb glucose from the blood - Blood sugar goes back to normal - Blood sugar is too low - The amount of insulin goes down - Cells in the pancreas release glucagon - The liver turns stored glycogen into glucose - The liver releases the glucose into the blood - Blood sugar goes back to normal. Question: suppose more insulin is released happens, how will it affect MORE regulation of blood sugar level being needed. - A: more - B: less - C: no effect
The answer to this question is: | A: more.
When more insulin is released than needed, it would lead to an increased regulation of blood sugar levels being necessary. This is because the excess insulin lowers the blood sugar levels below the normal range, which can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
When blood sugar levels decrease, our body needs to restore them back to the normal range. One way our body does this is by reducing the amount of insulin being released by the pancreatic cells. This allows the blood sugar levels to rise by not facilitating as much glucose absorption by the cells. However, if there is still an excess of insulin, this reduction may not be sufficient to counter the effect of the excess insulin on blood sugar levels.
To further restore blood sugar levels, the pancreatic cells release glucagon. Glucagon signals the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose and release it into the bloodstream. This process helps to increase blood sugar levels back to the normal range. The combined efforts of reducing insulin release and increasing glucagon release are aimed at increasing the regulation of blood sugar levels in response to the excess insulin.
In summary, when more insulin is released than needed, the body has to work harder to restore blood sugar levels to normal, which leads to increased regulation of blood sugar levels being needed. |

Pick your answer from:
[1]. lantern was dimmer.;
[2]. flashlight was dimmer.; | The man chose to use the lantern rather than the flashlight for the nighttime walk because the lantern was dimmer. This decision could have been influenced by several factors that made the lantern a more suitable option in this particular situation.
First and foremost, the dimmer light from the lantern could be advantageous for preserving night vision. In low light conditions, human eyes adapt to the darkness and become more sensitive to faint sources of light. A dimmer light source, such as the lantern, would allow the man to maintain this heightened sensitivity and more effectively discern his surroundings. In contrast, a brighter flashlight might hinder his ability to see and navigate the dimly lit environment.
In addition, using the lantern could also minimize the disturbance to nocturnal wildlife. Bright lights can be disruptive to the natural behaviors and patterns of certain animals, particularly those that are active during nighttime hours. By opting for a dimmer light source, the man would be less likely to disturb or frighten these creatures, potentially allowing for closer observation or simply reducing the impact of his presence on the environment.
Another reason for choosing the lantern could be related to the type of light it produced. In contrast to the more directed, focused beam of a flashlight, lanterns often emit a softer, more diffuse light. This could provide a more pleasant, less harsh illumination for the nighttime walk, creating a more comfortable atmosphere and enabling the man to better enjoy the experience. The lantern might also have offered better peripheral lighting, allowing the man to see more of the area surrounding him.
The lantern could also have been chosen for its more traditional, nostalgic charm. The warm glow of a lantern might evoke feelings of a simpler time when people relied on more basic, less technologically advanced tools. This sense of connectedness to the past might have been appealing to the man, making the walk more uniquely memorable and enjoyable for him. In comparison, the flashlight, as a more modern and commonplace device, might not have had the same appeal.
In summary, the man found the lantern to be a more suitable light source for his nighttime walk due to its dimmer light, which helped preserve his night vision, minimized disturbance to wildlife, and provided a softer, more ambient glow. Furthermore, the traditional charm and nostalgia associated with lanterns may have added to the overall appeal of the experience. |

What is an API?
Do those questions have the same meaning?
Pick from: a). no. b). yes. | a). no.
An API log-in and an API are two different concepts, although they are related. Let's explore each concept individually to provide a more comprehensive understanding.
1. API Log-in:
An API log-in is the process of authenticating a user or application to access the features and functionalities offered by an API. Most APIs, especially when dealing with sensitive data, require log-in to ensure that the requester is authorized to use the API.
API log-ins often involve providing an API key or token, which is tied to the user's or the application's account. This allows the API provider to track and monitor the usage of their API, as well as enforce any rate limits or charge for the usage appropriately. Additionally, API log-ins offer an extra layer of security, helping to protect the API from unauthorized access or abuse.
2. API (Application Programming Interface):
An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a set of rules, protocols, and tools that allow different systems, applications, or software components to communicate with each other and exchange data or functionality without any human intervention. APIs serve as an interface between different components and streamline the process of integration, making it easier and more efficient for developers to build and extend software.
An API may use various communication protocols, such as HTTP, REST, and SOAP. They have predefined endpoints (locations) and methods (commands or actions) that can be used by developers to interact with the underlying services or applications. These services can include anything from fetching data or running searches to executing specific functions within an application.
In summary, an API log-in is the process of authenticating access to an API, while an API is the interface that allows separate software components to interact and share data or functionality. These two concepts are related, but they do not have the same meaning. |

Story is here to find a specific writer whose book will better humanity's future. After questioning residents Farber (Bob Balaban), Bell (Mary Beth Hurt), Dury (Jeffrey Wright), and five nameless smokers, Heep discovers the author, Vick Ran (M. Night Shyamalan), who is writing The Cookbook, containing views and ideas so significant they will inspire a future President, a great Midwestern orator, to greatly change the world for the better. Ran meeting Story eliminates his fear and sharpens his inner voice, but he learns he will be assassinated because of the controversial nature of his ideas. The Tartutic, an invincible simian trio that serve as the Blue World's peacekeepers, have forbidden that Story be attacked while returning home. The Scrunt nonetheless does just that, as Story is destined to be a great leader as well. To return safely, she will now need the help of a Symbolist, Guardian, Guild, and Healer. Story believes Heep to be her Guardian; Heep asks Farber, a West Coast émigré turned film critic, to help him figure out the others' identities. Working off movie tropes, Farber misadvises Heep, leading him to a flawed conclusion that Dury is the Symbolist, the smokers are the Guild, and Bell is the Healer. Heep asks Story how to "practice" for the confrontation but nearly dies in the process, convincing him he's not the Guardian. The next night, Farber's bad advice leads to their plan's immediate failure. In the confusion, Farber is killed and Story is mortally wounded by the Scrunt. Dury suddenly realizes his son Joey (Noah Gray-Cabey) is the Symbolist. Interpreting the information on cereal boxes, Joey deduces the true Guild is...

t0.131294 | Q:Title: Very solid! Review: I was looking for a sturdy shovel, and I always look for Made in USA. This fits the bill on both counts. It's built like a tank.I checked every local hardware store, and not a decent shovel to be found. Eleven varieties of Ames True Temper, a few off brands, a few store brands. A few had decent handles, but every single one without exception had soft, thin, cheap imported steel (in a few cases "tempered in USA") guaranteed to bend or break under any strenuous work.Where I come from, the ground is filled with rocks. A shovel takes a beating digging even a modest hole. You have to be able to stand on the foot braces and jump up and down, and scrape and auger and pound. Cheap junk won't cut it.This Bully Tools shovel has as solid construction as I have ever seen in a shovel. Pound on the blade, and it gives that distinctive deep thud you'd associate with a whack from a cast iron pan. Very nice. Heartily recommended.

t0.1314406 | Scientists studied mutations on groups of fruit flies. Group A presented gemline mutations, while group B presented somatic mutations. Which group had more serious mutations? Hint: Once again, a mutation is the change in the DNA or RNA sequence. In multicellular organisms, mutations can be subdivided into germline mutations and somatic mutations. Germline mutations occur in the DNA of sex cells, or gametes, and are therefore potentially very serious. These mutations can be passed to the next generation. If the zygote contains the mutation, every cell in the resulting organism will have that mutation. If the mutation results in a disease phenotype, the mutation causes what is called a hereditary disease. Somatic mutations , which occur in somatic, or body, cells, cannot be passed to the next generation (offspring). Mutations present in a somatic cell of an organism will be present (by DNA replication and mitosis) in all descendants of that cell. If the mutation is present in a gene that is not used in that cell type, the mutation may have no effect. On the other hand, the mutation may lead to a serious medical condition such as cancer.
| Group A, which presented germline mutations, had more serious mutations because these mutations occur in the DNA of sex cells (gametes) and can be passed to the next generation, potentially causing hereditary diseases. |

Natural history in particular became increasingly popular among the upper classes. Works of natural history include René-Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur's Histoire naturelle des insectes and Jacques Gautier d'Agoty's La Myologie complète, ou description de tous les muscles du corps humain (1746). Outside ancien régime France, natural history was an important part of medicine and industry, encompassing the fields of botany, zoology, meteorology, hydrology and mineralogy. Students in Enlightenment universities and academies were taught these subjects to prepare them for careers as diverse as medicine and theology. As shown by M D Eddy, natural history in this context was a very middle class pursuit and operated as a fertile trading zone for the interdisciplinary exchange of diverse scientific ideas.". Can you tell me what it is?
| The intellectual movement that taught natural history during the Enlightenment period is not explicitly mentioned in the given passage. However, given that natural history became popular among the upper classes and was an important part of medicine and industry during the Enlightenment, it can be inferred that the intellectual movement in question is the Enlightenment itself, which promoted the pursuit of knowledge, reason, and science. |

Help as much as you can. | What is the last name of the person who gave up the conductorship of the Purcell Singers in 1967? Answer the above question based on the context below: Holst had formed the Purcell Singers, a small semi-professional choir, in October 1952, largely at the instigation of Pears. From 1954 the choir became regular performers at the Aldeburgh Festival, with programmes ranging from rarely heard medieval music to 20th-century works. Among choir members who later achieved individual distinction were the bass-baritone John Shirley-Quirk, the tenors Robert Tear and Philip Langridge, and the founder and conductor of the Heinrich Schütz Choir, Roger Norrington. Langridge remembered with particular pleasure a performance in Orford church of Thomas Tallis's forty-part motet Spem in alium, on 2 July 1963. When she gave up the conductorship of the choir in 1967, much of its musical mission, in particular its commitment to early music, was assumed by other groups, such as Norrington's Schütz Choir and the Purcell Consort formed by the ex-Purcell Singers chorister Grayston Burgess.On 2 June 1967 Holst shared the podium with Britten in the concert inaugurating the Aldeburgh Festival's new home at the Snape Maltings. From 1972 Holst was involved with the development of educational classes at the Maltings, which began with weekend singing classes and developed into the Britten-Pears School for Advanced Musical Studies, with its own training orchestra. By this time Imogen's performances at the festival had become increasingly rare, but in 1975 she conducted a concert of Gustav Holst's brass band music, held outdoors at Framlingham Castle. A report of the event described an evening of "persistent drizzle ... until a diminutive figure in a special scarlet dress took the conductor's baton. The band was transformed, and played Holst's Suite as it has never been played before".Britten had been in poor health since undergoing heart surgery in 1973, and on 4 December 1976 he died. Holst was unsure that she could maintain a working relationship with Pears alone, and on reaching the age of 70 in 1977, decided she would retire as artistic director after that year's festival. She made her...

t0.577514 | You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. | Alex made a long story short and made everyone laugh at her jokes. Given the context: What will Others want to do next?
OPT:
(A). make them laugh;
(B). dislike alex;
(C). spend more time with alex;
The answer is: | (C). spend more time with alex;
In the context provided, it seems that Alex has a talent for storytelling and humor, which makes her an enjoyable person to be around. People generally enjoy spending time with individuals who can make them laugh and keep them entertained. As a result, others will likely want to spend more time with Alex to be a part of the fun and engaging environment she creates.
Let's explore each option in detail to understand why Option C is the most appropriate choice:
(A). Make them laugh:
While people might appreciate Alex's humor and try to make others laugh as well, this option does not capture the full essence of how others might react to Alex's entertaining storytelling abilities. People may admire her skills and want to learn from her, but it is more likely that they would want to spend time with her so they can enjoy her company and experience her humor firsthand.
(B). Dislike Alex:
In the given context, there is no reason to believe that others would dislike Alex. On the contrary, her ability to make everyone laugh with her jokes indicates that she has a likable personality and is skilled in creating a positive atmosphere. Rather than disliking her, people will likely appreciate her fun and entertaining presence.
(C). Spend more time with Alex:
As mentioned earlier, people generally enjoy being around those who can make them laugh and create a lively atmosphere. Since Alex has a talent for making lengthy stories interesting and humorous, others will most likely want to spend more time with her. They will be drawn to her engaging personality and may even look forward to hearing more of her stories and jokes. By spending time with Alex, they can develop a better understanding of her sense of humor and possibly create shared memories together. In addition, they might also learn a few storytelling techniques or discover some funny anecdotes to share with others.
In conclusion, based on the context provided, it is evident that others will want to spend more time with Alex due to her ability to make people laugh and lighten up their day with her entertaining stories and jokes. This scenario encourages social bonding and provides a pleasant atmosphere where people can relax and enjoy each other's company. |

Options:
- fiddle
- sing
- play games
- live life
- run in circles
Let's think carefully first. Step-by-step reasoning process: | 1. Define happiness: Happiness is a mental and emotional state of well-being characterized by positive feelings, contentment, and satisfaction with one's life.
2. Evaluate options for increasing happiness:
a. Fiddle: Playing the fiddle (violin) can be a source of happiness if one enjoys creating music and developing their skill.
b. Sing: Singing can bring joy and create a positive emotional atmosphere, especially when shared with others or used for self-expression.
c. Play games: Engaging in games can lead to a sense of accomplishment, challenge, and social interaction, which can increase happiness.
d. Live life: Living life to the fullest, pursuing goals, and participating in new and varied experiences can promote overall life satisfaction.
e. Run in circles: This option seems to have little direct impact on happiness, as it does not relate to fulfilling personal, social, or emotional needs.
3. Determine the most effective options:
Based on the evaluation, fiddle, sing, play games, and live life are the options most likely to foster happiness.
4. Conclusion:
If one is without happiness, they might not be experiencing activities that promote personal satisfaction, social interaction, and personal growth. They need to engage in activities such as playing the fiddle, singing, playing games, and living life to experience increased happiness. However, determining the most suitable option depends on the individual's interests, goals, and preferences. |

Which of the following solutions is more sound in terms of naive physics reasoning?
Possible answers: A). can break apart marriages . B). can break apart locks . | First, let's evaluate the two possible answers to determine which is more sound in terms of naive physics reasoning.
A). Can break apart marriages:
Naive physics reasoning involves an understanding of the basic principles of physical objects and interactions. Marriages are not physical objects but are social constructs and emotional bonds between people. A crowbar is a physical tool designed to apply force and leverage to manipulate physical objects – it cannot interact with or break the non-physical concept of marriage directly. Thus, this option is not sound in terms of naive physics reasoning.
B). Can break apart locks:
A lock is a mechanical device that secures an object such as a door, gate, or container. A crowbar is a physical tool that can be used to apply force and leverage to manipulate physical objects. In this context, a crowbar may be used to pry open or break a lock, so this option is consistent with naive physics reasoning.
Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, solution B (can break apart locks) is more sound in terms of naive physics reasoning as it involves the direct interaction of physical objects (crowbar and lock), whereas solution A (can break apart marriages) does not involve a direct physical interaction between the crowbar and the concept of marriage. |

To qualify this, I’m not normally bothered by product placements. Sometimes they can even add to the scene. But this one was bad, really bad. Agent is busy hunting for baddies. Finishes questioning one naughty person who climbs in his Ford F150 and speeds off. So far, so good - it is the sort of vehicle a country-living billionaire bad-guy would drive. The agent then pulls out her phone and… Move to close up of phone screen showing Ford app already loaded (and screen unlocked!). Agent slowly moves finger to app. Does something. Pause as app does fancy graphics. Cut to car interior. Shot of dash, showing Ford logo on steering wheel. It’s bright blue - are they not normally grey or more subtle? Pause for a second… Zoom in on dash. Dash light up. Car starts. Show pretty dash lights for a second or so. Cut to agent Agent walks to car, gets in drives off. Lingering shot of rear of car. It was just so clumsy. Massive halt to the flow of the scene to show it. In most films you never see anyone starting cars, putting on seatbelts or similar unless this is part of the plot because it’s unnecessary and not interesting to watch. I sort of expected the remote start function to have some sort of relevance later… but no, it was totally ignored. Added to that: There was no password or security on her phone - and this is an agent investigating super secret stuff. If you don’t show her unlocking the phone, why show her lovingly prodding the app? They are as relevant. She unlocked and started the car while she was 20–30 paces away, on the grounds of a suspect ranch. Someone could easily have jumped in the car. Not very security conscious. Question: Why did the dash light up and the pretty dash lights showed for a second or so? Options: A. because there was no password B. because the agent walked to the car C. because the car started D. not enough information
The answer is: | C. because the car started |

Back at the airport, Jesse finally meets up with his friend and cousin Johnny (Luis Guzman) and Ozzy (Jay Hernandez), who have come to pick him up. On the way to his fathers store, Jesse takes off his eye-patch to reveal that he can still see, but the area around his eye is badly injured. After some prompting from Johnny and Ozzy, he reveals that he was the lucky one, as his friend Lenny was not as lucky and Jesse feels some guilt for this. On the way, the three pass a park and Jesse tells them to stop. The park was their childhood playground and the three take a little time off to play a game of baseball and reminisce. While at the park, Ozzy spots Alexis (Manny Pérez), the man who killed his brother, recently been released from prison. Ozzy stares at Alexis, and Alexis stares back, however, before Ozzy is able to make his way to Alexis, both Jesse and Johnny hold him back then they make their way to Edy's store. Jesse's sister Roxanna (Vanessa Ferlito) arrives by taxi, although everyone assumes she came in a limo because they all assume that she made it big in Hollywood as an actress. Jesse's Brother Mauricio (John Leguizamo) also arrives,...

First, if your shirt has buttons, button them all up. Then lay your shirt on its front, with its back facing up, preferably on a flat, sturdy surface like a table (as opposed to a soft surface, like a bed). Straighten each sleeve so they extend straight out from either side. Fold the sleeve over from its shoulder, creating a roughly 45-degree downward angle along your crease. As you do, line the sleeve up with the shirt’s side, so they run parallel, with the sleeve’s cuff meeting the shirt’s bottom. Smooth the first sleeve out with your hand from shoulder to cuff, and then repeat with the second. After its first fold, a couple inches of each sleeve will be hanging off the side of your shirt. With each one, take the outer half (the one that’s spilling over the shirt’s side) and fold it over the inner half. Use your hands to smooth out both sleeves again from top to bottom. Use both hands to pinch each shoulder and sleeve together. Then lift the top of your shirt and draw it back until the bottom of your collar reaches the bottom of your shirt, with the chest now facing up. Smooth your shirt out to form a light crease where it’s folded in half below the chest. | This article is about how to fold a buttoned shirt properly by straightening the sleeves, folding them at a 45-degree angle, and smoothing everything out. |

The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:
1. "leave the area completely and transport their camels into a shop" - This option doesn't make sense in the context of the paragraph. The tourists are enjoying a camel ride in grasslands; it would be unlikely for them to transport their camels into a shop suddenly.
2. "see the tarp as well as a man struggling to place it over the horse and the horse stands up and moves out of its way" - This option introduces a new element (tarp) and a different animal (horse) that don't fit in the established context of tourists enjoying a camel ride in the grasslands.
3. "get out of their vehicles and gather around saying goodbye and stop to drink a beer" - This option contradicts the previous sentence: the tourists are on a camel ride, not in vehicles. |

flan.1024553 | You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. | Answer the following question:
when did social security began in the united states? | Social Security in the United States officially began with the Social Security Act's signing by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on August 14, 1935. This national old-age pension program came into effect as part of the New Deal, America's response to the Great Depression that had severely impacted the country in the early 1930s. The Social Security Act represented an innovative and substantial move towards federal responsibility for the welfare of its citizens.
Before the creation of the Social Security program, support for the elderly, the unemployed, or the disabled had been primarily the responsibility of families, communities, or charitable organizations. However, the stock market crash in 1929 and the subsequent Great Depression laid bare the shortcomings of this system as incomes and savings were wiped out, leaving a vast number of Americans destitute and in desperate need for support. Traditional mechanisms for providing for those incapable of self-support were failing, and the scale of the problem necessitated federal intervention.
The Committee on Economic Security (CES) was established by President Roosevelt in 1934 to assess the problem and propose solutions. It was this committee that put forth the Social Security Act, heralding a revolution in how Americans and the federal government perceived their mutual responsibilities.
The Social Security Act of 1935 initially aimed to provide a form of financial security for the elderly, unemployed, children, and the disabled by introducing a social insurance program that Americans would pay into throughout their working life. The Act included several parts or titles, which addressed different aspects of welfare, such as public health services and unemployment compensation.
However, Title II of the Act, the Federal Old-Age Benefits program, is what most people now refer to when they talk about Social Security. This program provided retired people over the age of 65 with a continuing income after their retirement. It was financed by a payroll tax on current workers’ wages, half directly deducted from the worker's wages and half paid by the employer. It envisaged a "pay-as-you-go" method where the tax income collected from the current generation of workers would be immediately disbursed to the current generation of retirees.
The first Social Security payments were not made until January 31, 1940, with the first recipient being a Vermont woman named Ida May Fuller, who received a benefit of $22.54. But it's important to note that the program has undergone numerous revisions since its inception, including the addition of disability benefits and Medicare.
In conclusion, while the roots of Social Security stretch back to the economic upheaval of the Great Depression, its formal beginning as a U.S. federal program can be traced to August 14, 1935. From then on, it has played a critical role in providing a safety net for millions of Americans throughout their retirement or in times of disability. |

flan.828901 | You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. | It was the moment millions of Broadchurch fans had waited almost two years for. But the much-anticipated return of the ITV crime drama left many baffled – and not just by the plot. Some who tuned in for the start of the second series on Monday night complained they struggled to understand actor David Tennant’s Scottish accent to the extent that they were forced to turn on the TV subtitles. Scroll down for video. Viewers complained about David Tennant mumbling during the second series of Broadchurch on ITV last night and said they had to use subtitles on their televisions to understand the actor who plays DI Alec Hardy. And first-time viewers were left baffled by the complex storyline as producers did not begin with a summary of what had happened in the first series – which ended in April 2013 – even though the new series picks up where that left off. While the opening episode, which had an audience of 7.2million, drew widespread praise and was quickly being talked about on Twitter, many viewers said they had difficulty deciphering some of the dialogue. One wrote: ‘Still couldn’t understand a word they were saying in Broadchurch tonight – I need someone to translate the heavily accented mumbling.’ Another added: ‘Challenge: try to watch Broadchurch without subtitles. FAILED.’ Others singled out Tennant, who plays dour Detective Inspector Alec Hardy, saying: ‘David Tennant needs subtitles, with that accent don’t understand a word he says.’ Many viewers complained about having to use subtitles to understand Tennant's mumbling on the show. Tennant and Coleman, who plays DS Ellie Miller, were in court as DS Miller's husband denied murder. This is not the first time Tennant’s voice has caused problems. He also starred in Gracepoint, the US remake of Broadchurch, with his American accent failing to impress both critics and audiences. On Monday night, many Broadchurch viewers were left scratching their heads – and not in the way the programme makers intended. Fans said the show was confusing and complained that there had been no recap of the first series at the start. This left new viewers lost, while many who were avid watchers of the old series nearly two years ago were unable to remember the details needed to follow the plot. One tweeted: ‘May as well have not watched the last series of Broadchurch, not a clue who’s who or what’s happening.’ Viewers complained about the accents of many of the cast members as well as the loud background noise. Joe Miller pleaded not guilty to the murder of Danny Latimer, 11, despite his confession in the last show. Another added: ‘Anyone else watching Broadchurch and can’t remember who everyone is or what went on last series?’ One Broadchurch mystery was instantly seized on by the gloomy drama’s more light-hearted fans – why are there so many former Doctor Who stars in the cast? They pointed out that seven had previously appeared in the BBC sci-fi series. David Tennant played The Doctor for five years while Arthur Darvill – the Rev Paul Coates in Broadchurch – had a long-running role as one of the time-traveller’s companions. Olivia Colman has been a guest star, as has Jonathan Bailey, who plays journalist Olly Stevens in the ITV drama. Three others in the new series appeared in Doctor Who, including Eve Myles, who was also in the spin-off, Torchwood. Many fans used social media to highlight this crossover. One wrote: ‘Do Broadchurch only cast actors who’ve appeared in Doctor Who/Doctor Who spin-offs?’ Another added: ‘Broadchurch, where Dr Who actors go on leaving the Tardis, apparently.’ Others joked that Broadchurch had become a ‘retirement home’ for Doctor Who stars and wrote ‘I reckon Dr Who did it’. The first series, set in a fictional Dorset seaside town, involved the hunt for the killer of 11-year-old Danny Latimer. Detective Sergeant Ellie Miller, played by Olivia Colman, and DI Hardy – who moved to the area from another force after his previous investigation fell apart in court – investigated numerous suspects before the killer was exposed, in a shocking twist, to be DS Miller’s husband Joe. Monday’s episode began in court with Miller surprising everyone by entering a not guilty plea. Some viewers said the programme was unrealistic as retired barrister Jocelyn Knight, played by Charlotte Rampling, was given the job of prosecuting Miller. One lawyer said: ‘Completely unrealistic court scenes and how counsel are appointed in murder cases – can’t ITV afford researchers?’ ITV said it had received ‘fewer than five’ complaints about mumbled dialogue. It added that although no recap of the first series was broadcast on Monday, a four-minute clip recounting the plot had been circulated via social media and was available on the ITV website. Of alleged legal inaccuracies in the plot, an ITV spokesman said: ‘We consult extensively with advisers, but also have to balance what we consider to be the best creative decision for the drama – and the audience. ‘We’re thrilled that we’ve had such a positive response.’
What are the important parts of this article? | The article discusses the return of the ITV crime drama Broadchurch for its second series and the mixed reactions from viewers. Many fans eagerly awaited the continuation of the story, but some faced difficulties with understanding the Scottish accent of actor David Tennant, who plays Detective Inspector Alec Hardy. Due to this, several viewers turned on TV subtitles to help decipher the dialogue. The article also mentions that first-time viewers were confused by the complex storyline, as there was no summary of the previous series provided at the beginning of the new one. Despite the mixed feedback, the opening episode saw an audience of 7.2 million viewers. |

A bronze statue of Christopher Columbus points the way to the New World in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
(Lonely Planet) -- Life's not always a beach. The Caribbean may win hearts for its white-sand beaches on perfect turquoise coves and high-end villas with moored yachts, but there's another part of the story: its towns.
Some have histories that predate the Pilgrims, cobbled centers that gaze out at the water and enough attractions to justify carving a day or two away from those perfect stretches of sand.
Did you know San Juan was nearly 100 when the Mayflower reached the Americas? Reached by frequent, direct (sometimes cheap) flights from the US, the historic Puerto Rican capital is a place that can fill a week's stay easily.
The cobblestoned lanes of Old San Juan are filled with cafes, restaurants, hotels and sites including two seriously old forts; most visitors see the six-floor, 16th-century El Morro, but don't overlook the Fuerte San Cristobal, which offers free spooky tunnel tours on weekends.
San Juan also has excellent art, free salsa lessons in clubs, fine dining in the ever-emerging SoFo district on Fortaleza St, and excellent beaches below the city walls. For a break from the city pulse, day trip to hike the rainforest at nearby El Yunque.
Everyone knows about Havana, but that doesn't mean it's not fantastic. Wandering about the crumbling grandeur of 'Habana Vieja' feels like entering the world of a gritty 1950s movie. Vintage US and Soviet cars trundle past colonial tenements showing their age, and pick-up baseball games played with a stick.
Casa de la Musica is what one Lonely Planet author describes as 'hot hot hot salsa with young hot hot hot Cubans'. Locals drink tiny cups of homegrown coffee in a classic coffee house like Café de las Infusiones, fun spots to spend an hour or so.
All this doesn't come with lack of comfort. Restored colonial hotels like the Hostal Condes de Villanueva (tel 53-862-9293; Mercaderes No 202), where rooms with stained-glass windows over look a private courtyard.
Lonely Planet: How to choose a Caribbean island
A lively Dutch/Caribbean hybrid, the little capital of Curaçao is famed for its historic core -- a UNESCO World Heritage site of two neighborhoods split by a channel.
Boutique hotels made from 19th-century buildings (best is Hotel Kura Hulanda) make Willemstad a good base to explore the town's floating markets, atmospheric draw bridges names for Dutch queens, an excellent museum unflinchingly detailing the slave trade, and cafes that look plucked from an Amsterdam backstreet.
Beaches are good too. Grab a rental car and find hidden beach coves -- practically isolated -- to the north, along with a peek at Christoffel National Park's plantations.
Haiti's not for everyone, but as the nation struggles to rebuild after the 2010 earthquake, tourism is starting to pick up and giving a bit of an economic boost to boot. Eighty miles south of the capital Port-au-Prince, Jacmel is a charming town that wasn't as damaged as the capital. It has many Victorian-era buildings from the city's coffee days, superb handicrafts including hand-painted boxes and animal toys, good beaches and a fun day trip to a grotto of cascades and cobalt-blue pools you can reach by horse for $20 or $25.
Set in a Victorian mansion, the damaged and rebuilt Hôtel Florita evokes a century-old vibe, with its period furniture and balconies in the rooms.
From Port-au-Prince you can bus three hours on good roads to Jacmel.
Cockburn Town, Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos
The capital of this multi-island nation, wee Cockburn is home to only 5500 people on an island just six miles long. Cruises dock for a few hours, but the fun rustic place warrants more time.
In town, you'll find colorful colonial buildings on narrow streets that still see donkey carts and historic sites, including the spot -- locals claim -- where Christopher Columbus made his first foot-fall of the New World in 1492.
Beaches to the north, like Pillory or Corktree, are frequently empty, while the best snorkeling and diving lies to the south (Oasis Divers offers dives or snorkel gear). The best place to stay is the Mediterranean-themed Island House, who offers free use of their car to guests. But on Grand Turk, a bike is really all you need.
Lonely Planet: Cracking the Caribbean on a budget
The Caribbean's largest city, Santo Domingo is a New World firsts-fest. You'll find the hemisphere's first hospital and monastery (lovelier than that might sound), and the oldest surviving fort and cathedral (built by Columbus' son, no less).
Its historic center easily fills a couple days of sightseeing before hitting DR's famed beaches. Best is just sitting over a long meal in the strip of outdoor restaurants set up in the 16th century buildings along Plaza España, or getting a drink in the cobbled alley El Conde's bar/café scene.
If you go in winter, February's Carnaval is legendary, but just as memorable is catching a baseball game during DR's 48-game winter season from November to February; you'll see major leaguers from the US playing, and seats at the Estadio Quisqueya start at US$6.
The Caribbean's most unique island -- the last to be colonized, the most mountainous of the Eastern islands -- Dominica is sometimes seen as the 'anti-Caribbean', considering its lack of sandy beaches or flashy resorts.
Unsurprisingly perhaps, visitors often consider it the friendliest. And because it's so small -- just 29 miles by 16 miles -- you can set up in its lively capital of 1500 residents living in cute stone-and-wood historic homes, Roseau (ROSE-oh) and day trip to waterfalls and open-air hot spring pools in the rainforest, or beaches with snorkeling spots that bubble like champagne from offshore volcanic vents (it's safe).
The best day trip involves a tough six-hour hike up to reach the Boiling Lake; it's best done with a guide (Mick Jagger went with Ken's Hinterland Adventure Tours).
There are no direct flights outside the region; the best gateways to Dominica are via Antigua, Sint Maarten or Barbados on American Eagle or LIAT.
Tiny, off-the-radar and rather unusual, the tiny island of Sint Eustatius (or 'Statia'; population 3400) has been home to Caribs, French, Dutch and British residents; in 1776, it became the first foreign 'power' to recognize the USA.
Now known for its diving, Statia has but one town, Oranjestad, memorable mostly for what it's lost. Ruins are everywhere. In town you can explore remnants of an 18th-century synagogue or collapsed Dutch church, then grab a snorkel to swim to offshore ruins of a part of town built on land-fill and since reclaimed by the sea.
Afterwards, plan a day trip hike up the nearby Quill, a once-active volcano with great views from its crater.

t0.605000 | Please answer the following question: Background: Law enforcement officers are often unfamiliar with information technology, and so lack the skills and interest in pursuing attackers. There are also budgetary constraints. It has been argued that the high cost of technology, such as DNA testing, and improved forensics mean less money for other kinds of law enforcement, so the overall rate of criminals not getting dealt with goes up as the cost of the technology increases. In addition, the identification of attackers across a network may require logs from various points in the network and in many countries, the release of these records to law enforcement (with the exception of being voluntarily surrendered by a network administrator or a system administrator) requires a search warrant and, depending on the circumstances, the legal proceedings required can be drawn out to the point where the records are either regularly destroyed, or the information is no longer relevant. Paragraph: Two neighboring police Departments took different approaches to fighting crime, Greenville P.D. did not invest in DNA testing, improved forensics, and information technology, while Grayville took extensive measures of that nature. Given the paragraph above, please answer correctly the following question: Which P.D. took a less efficient approach in fighting crime?
Answer: | It cannot be definitively determined which P.D. took a less efficient approach in fighting crime based on the given information. |

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: I have waited tables, but before that, our friend group were regulars at several local “open all night” establishments. Our favorite was the Denny's about ten miles outside of downtown Savannah, and we had a regular waitress that was AWESOME. As a side note, I met her several years later and found out we were a major help putting her daughter through school. We had one kid in our group who was a perpetual problem, a wannabe at everything. He just tried too freaking hard to be the center of attention. Well, he joined us ONCE in a trip to Denny's. I mean we pulled up in six cars, all packed to the gills at 3a.m. and took up almost half of the restaurant. We get done, our favorite waitress drops the check, and this goofball says something about “dine and dash.” We all just looked at him like he had grown a penis in the middle of his forehead and was trying to screw anyone within spitting distance with it. This kid wasn't driving, it would be a ten mile walk through neighborhoods that were questionable during the daytime, and he is talking about not just stiffing our favorite waitress on a tip, but walking out without paying? Are you kidding me? “Ryan. If you do that, you will be left beaten and bloody in the parking lot and EVERY ONE of us will participate.” He hanged his head and coughed up his share of the bill, but he still didn't leave a tip. She made over five bucks a head in tips every time we walked in the door. Several of us were servers, bartenders, bouncers, and a couple strippers. Tips were how a lot of us put food on the table, and chemicals in our system. We shared when we had a good night. Needless to say, Ryan never joined us on a run to Denny's again. Question: How long did the group stay at Denny's before they finished eating and paid the bill? Options: A. not enough information B. 1 day. C. All night. D. A couple of hours.
The answer to this question is: | A. not enough information |
t0.1120689 | You are an AI assistant. Provide a detailed answer so user don’t need to search outside to understand the answer. | Information: - Jays are several species of medium-sized, usually colorful and noisy, passerine birds in the crow family, Corvidae. The names "jay" and "magpie" are somewhat interchangeable, and the evolutionary relationships are rather complex. For example, the Eurasian magpie seems more closely related to the Eurasian jay than to the Oriental blue and green magpies, whereas the blue jay is not closely related to either. - Monochrome describes paintings, drawings, design, or photographs in one color or values of one color. A monochromatic object or image reflects colors in shades of limited colors or hues. Images using only shades of grey (with or without black or white) are called grayscale or black-and-white. However, scientifically speaking, monochromatic light refers to visible light of a narrow band of wavelengths (see spectral color). - Self-awareness is the capacity for introspection and the ability to recognize oneself as an individual separate from the environment and other individuals. It is not to be confused with consciousness in the sense of qualia. While consciousness is a term given to being aware of one's environment and body and lifestyle, self-awareness is the recognition of that awareness. - Corvidae is a cosmopolitan family of oscine passerine birds that contains the crows, ravens, rooks, jackdaws, jays, magpies, treepies, choughs, and nutcrackers. In common English, they are known as the crow family, or, more technically, corvids. Over 120 species are described. The genus "Corvus", including the jackdaws, crows, and ravens, makes up over a third of the entire family. - Eurasia is the combined continental landmass of Europe and Asia. The term is a portmanteau of its constituent continents. Located primarily in the Northern and Eastern Hemispheres, it is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Arctic Ocean to the north, and by Africa, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Indian Ocean to the south. The division between Europe and Asia as two different continents is a historical and cultural construct, with no clear physical separation between them; thus, in some parts of the world, Eurasia is recognized as the largest of five or six continents. In geology, Eurasia is often considered as a single rigid megablock. However, the rigidity of Eurasia is debated based on the paleomagnet data. - Two species of chough ("") constitute the genus Pyrrhocorax of the Corvidae (crow) family of birds. These are the red-billed chough ("Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax"), and the Alpine chough (or Yellow-billed chough) ("Pyrrhocorax graculus"). The white-winged chough of Australia, despite its name, is not a true chough but rather a member of the family Corcoracidae and only distantly related. - The Eurasian magpie or common magpie ("Pica pica") is a resident breeding bird throughout Europe, much of Asia and northwest Africa. It is one of several birds in the crow family designated magpies, and belongs to the Holarctic radiation of "monochrome" magpies. In Europe, "magpie" is used by English speakers as a synonym for the European magpie: the only other magpie in Europe is the Iberian magpie ("Cyanopica cooki"), which is limited to the Iberian peninsula. - The mirror test, sometimes called the mark test or the mirror self-recognition test (MSR), is a behavioural technique developed in 1970 by psychologist Gordon Gallup Jr. as an attempt to determine whether a non-human animal possesses the ability of self-recognition. The MSR test is the traditional method for attempting to measure self-awareness, however there has been controversy whether the test is a true indicator. - A crow is a bird of the genus "Corvus". The term "crow" is used both as part of the common name of many species, and collectively for all of "Corvus". - The treepies comprise four closely related genera (Dendrocitta, Crypsirina, Temnurus and Platysmurus) of long-tailed passerine birds in the family Corvidae. There are 11 species of treepie. Treepies are similar to magpies. Most treepies are black, white, gray or brown. They are found in Southeast Asia. They live in tropical forests. They are highly arboreal and rarely come to the ground to feed. - A passerine is any bird of the order Passeriformes, which includes more than half of all bird species. A notable feature of passerines compared to other orders of Aves is the arrangement of their toes, three pointing forward and one back, which facilitates perching. Sometimes known as perching birds or, less accurately, as songbirds, the passerines form one of the most diverse terrestrial vertebrate orders, with over 5,000 identified species. It has roughly twice as many species as the largest of the mammal orders, the Rodentia. It contains more than 110 families, the second-most of any order of tetrapods (after Squamata, the scaled reptiles). The passerines contain several groups of brood parasites such as the viduas, cuckoo-finches, and the cowbirds. Most passerines are omnivorous, while the shrikes are carnivorous. - A raven is one of several larger-bodied species of the genus "Corvus". These species do not form a single taxonomic group within the genus. - Magpies are birds of the Corvidae ( crow ) family , including the black and white Eurasian magpie , which is considered one of the most intelligent animals in the world , and the only non-mammal species able to recognize itself in a mirror test . In addition to other members of the genus Pica , corvids considered as magpies are in the genera Cissa , Cyanopica and Urocissa . - The Holarctic is the name for the biogeographic realm that encompasses the majority of habitats found throughout the northern continents of the world, combining Wallace's Palearctic zoogeographical region, consisting of North Africa and all of Eurasia (with the exception of the southern Arabian Peninsula, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent), and the Nearctic zoogeographical region, consisting of North America north of Southern Mexico. These regions are further subdivided into a variety of ecoregions. Many ecosystems, and the animal and plant communities that depend on them, are found across multiple continents in large portions of this realm. The continuity of these ecosystems results from the shared glacial history of the realm. The floristic Boreal Kingdom corresponds to the Holarctic realm. - The "Corvida" were one of two "parvorders" contained within the suborder Passeri, as proposed in the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, the other being Passerida. Standard taxonomic practice would place them at the rank of infraorder. What object entity has the relation of 'instance of' with the subject 'magpie'? Choices: - addition - bird - common name - complex - design - division - environment - family - five - four - genus - giant - human - india - landmass - lifestyle - limited - member - mirror - name - object - ocean - part - peninsula - rank - realm - sea - sense - single - species - study - synonym - taxonomy - term - three - two - variety
A: | The object entity that has the relation of 'instance of' with the subject 'magpie' is 'bird.' |
t0.29009 | You are an AI assistant. Provide a detailed answer so user don’t need to search outside to understand the answer. | I’m sitting at the airport on a Sunday morning waiting for my flight to Las Vegas for the now-annual pilgrimage to the NamesCon conference. A few years ago, Vegas was one of my “bucket list” places – one of those iconic cities that one should visit at least once in their life. For me, once was enough. This is now my 4th (I think?) trip to Vegas, and while the city has a lot to offer, it’s just not my cup of tea. For one thing, I’m not a gambler, like at all. I don’t have anything against it, I just don’t enjoy it. It either feels pointless or stressful to me. The city itself makes me a little sad – in some cases, it reeks of desperation. Last time I was there, my cab driver entertained me with stories of how she was working 3 jobs to save up enough to join some mega-massive bingo game. She won a small jackpot a few years back and that allowed her to work only one job for a few months. She was hoping to win again so she could cut back to 1 or 2 jobs. I wondered how many people do similar things – gambling their money away, in big or small chunks, in the hopes of that big score and in the process, putting themselves in a not-great financial situation. I suppose as long it makes them happy, then it’s all OK, but I can’t help but think someone like my cab driver might be happier overall if she only worked 1 job instead of 3, instead of working extra jobs to save up money to gamble her way to financial freedom. But that’s for her to decide, not me. The juxtaposition of extreme and in-your-face wealth and the homeless people on the Strip also makes me sad. It’s difficult to see people begging for food and sleeping on the street while all around you, millions of dollars are poured into creating a massive playground with every type of indulgence possible. But I’m the first to say that I’ve enjoyed staying in some of the nicer hotel properties there and eating several excellent meals at some of the finer restaurants in the area, so I’m not exactly helping to solve the problem. Question: Why did the author say he wasn't a big fan of Vegas? === The answer to the above question is
Answer: | The author stated they were not a big fan of Las Vegas for several reasons. Firstly, they mentioned that they are not a gambler and do not enjoy it, as it feels either pointless or stressful to them. Secondly, they described the city as having an atmosphere of desperation, with people gambling their money away in hopes of improving their financial situation, and this saddens the author. Lastly, the author acknowledged the uncomfortable juxtaposition of extreme wealth and homelessness in the city, which contributes to their overall negative view of Las Vegas. |

"People who practice Ballet have special equipment."
Chain of thought and solution for this question is: | Yes, the statement is true. People who practice ballet do require special equipment and attire to perform and train efficiently and effectively. Here is the chain of thought and solution for this question:
1. Ballet is a highly technical and classical form of dance that emphasizes precise and fluid movements, balance, agility, and grace. As such, participants must have the right equipment to support their training and performance.
2. Ballet shoes: These are lightweight, flexible shoes made specifically for ballet. They typically have a thin sole and are made of soft materials like leather or canvas to ensure comfort and ease of movement. Ballet shoes protect dancers' feet, allow for smooth movements across the dance floor, and provide the necessary grip and support during practice and performances.
3. Dancewear: Ballet dancers wear form-fitting clothing that allows them to move freely without any hindrance. Leotards, tights, and ballet skirts are common attire. Wearing suitable dancewear ensures that dancers can execute complicated movements and poses comfortably.
4. Pointe shoes: Advanced ballet dancers, particularly women, wear pointe shoes that enable them to dance on the tips of their toes. Pointe shoes have a hard, boxed front (called the toe box) to support the foot and a stiff shank in the sole to provide stability while dancing en pointe. As they are a specialized type of footwear, pointe shoes need to be properly fitted and broken in before use.
5. Ballet barre: A ballet barre is a horizontal bar that dancers use for support while practicing and performing various exercises during a ballet class or rehearsal. Barres provide stability and balance during stretching, warming up, and executing specific ballet movements.
6. Protective gear: Some ballet dancers may use additional equipment like toe pads and foot gel cushions for comfort and protection while dancing en pointe.
7. Other helpful equipment: Items such as yoga blocks and resistance bands may aid in a dancer's conditioning exercises outside of their ballet practice, helping them maintain flexibility, strength, and alignment. Also, music players and speakers are essential for a ballet class or rehearsal, as ballet is commonly danced to classical music or specially composed pieces.
In conclusion, ballet dancers require special equipment and attire designed to enhance their performance and abilities during both practice and performances, ensuring safety, support, and comfort. |

What is the name of the chemical that naturally occurs in sheep's wool? | The chemical that naturally occurs in sheep's wool is called lanolin, also known as wool wax, wool grease, or wool fat. Lanolin is a waxy, yellowish substance that is secreted by the sebaceous glands of sheep and other wool-bearing animals. Its main purpose is to protect and waterproof their wool fibers and skin, while also keeping the wool soft and pliable.
The secretion process begins with the sebaceous glands that produce an oil known as sebum. This oil then undergoes oxidation, which turns it into lanolin. Lanolin has both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, making it an effective barrier to water and moisture. This is particularly important for sheep, as it allows them to stay dry even in wet environments, preventing their wool from becoming matted and weighed down.
Lanolin is a complex mixture of esters, fatty acids, and alcohol. It is composed predominantly of high molecular weight esters derived from both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Its main constituents are cholesterol and other sterols, as well as long-chain fatty acids such as palmitic, stearic, and oleic acids.
Due to its unique properties, lanolin has found a variety of uses across various industries, primarily in the cosmetic, skincare, and pharmaceutical sectors. Lanolin is an excellent moisturizer and emollient, which helps to soften and soothe the skin, as well as lock in moisture. This makes it a popular ingredient in creams, lotions, lip balms, and other skincare products. Lanolin can also aid in wound healing and has mild antiseptic properties, which is why it's often used in various topical medicinal applications, such as ointments and creams for minor skin irritations or burns.
It's important to note that lanolin derived from sheep's wool is generally processed and purified before it is incorporated into consumer products. This ensures that the final product is free from any impurities or contaminants that may have been present in the raw wool.
In summary, lanolin is the natural chemical found in sheep's wool that is responsible for its waterproof and protective qualities. Its unique properties have made it a valuable resource used in various industries, particularly cosmetics and skincare. |

Passage 1: In the United States,the financial crisis has left the country with 11 million fewer jobs than Americans need now.No matter how tough the policy ,we are not going to find 11 million new jobs soon.So common sense suggests we should make some decisions about who should come first:older people,who have already worked three or four decades at hard jobs? Or younger people,many just out of school,with fresh skills and ambitions? The answer is obvious.Older people who would like to retire and would do so if they could afford it should get some help.The right step is to reduce,not increase,the retirement age.As a rough cut,why not make it a law to set a three--year window during which the age for receiving full Social Security benefits would drop to 62----providing a voluntary ,one--time,grab-it-now bonus for leaving work? Let them go home! With a secure pension and medical care,they will be happier.Young people who need work will be happier.And there will also be more jobs.With pension security, older people will consume services until the end of their lives.They will become.each and every one,an employer. Passage 2: Too many people see longer working lives as a worry rather than an opportunity--and not just because they are going to be chained to their desks.Some worry that there will not be enough jobs to go around.This misunderstanding,known to economists as the"lump of labour fallacy ",was once used to argue that women should stay at home and leave all the jobs for breadwinning males.Now lump-of-labourites say that keeping the old at work would deprive the young of employment.The idea that society can become better-off by paying more of its citizens to be idle is clearly ridiculous.On that reasoning,if the retirement age came down to 25 we would all be as rich as Bill Gates.

flan.934355 | You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation. Think like you are answering to a five year old. | Those with broad features, like Wayne Rooney, are more likely to get angry. Trait may be linked to the evolutionary benefit of having thick cheekbones. Those who had more robust facial bones could better withstand a punch. Testosterone tends to make faces wider and is also linked to aggression.
Write an article based on these highlights. | Title: Why People with Broad Features, Like Wayne Rooney, Might Get Angry More Easily
Have you ever noticed that some people have wider faces, like the famous soccer player Wayne Rooney, and sometimes they seem to get angry more easily? Well, scientists think there might be a reason for that.
Imagine if you were back in the time when cavemen and cavewomen roamed the Earth. Some people might get into fights or arguments more often than others, and so having strong bones, especially in the face, could be helpful. If someone with strong facial bones, like thick cheekbones, got punched in the face, they might be able to handle the hit better than someone with thinner facial bones.
Now, let's talk about a special thing our body makes. It's called testosterone, and it helps people grow big and strong. Testosterone can make people's faces wider, just like those thick cheekbones we talked about earlier. And guess what? Testosterone is also linked to aggression, which means it can make people more likely to get angry or argue more easily.
So, if someone has broad features, like Wayne Rooney, they might have more testosterone, and that means they might get angry more often. It's important to remember that not everyone with wide faces will always be angry, but scientists found that there could be a connection between the two. This whole idea about wide-faced people getting angry is all about how we, as humans, have grown and changed over time - something that's called "evolution."
In conclusion, the next time you see someone with a wide face getting upset, remember that it might not be because they're just trying to be mean or grumpy. It could be because of the way their body is built and how hormones, like testosterone, play a part in the way they feel and act.
So, let's all be more understanding and kind to one another, no matter what our face shape might be! |

She even goes as far as to give it a 5-star rating and recommends it to anyone. These aspects of the review would increase the chances of you buying the product.
However, there are also some negative points mentioned in the review, such as the dissatisfaction with the ending of the story and the desire for more information about certain characters and events. The reviewer felt the ending was boring and lacking in necessary details about the characters and the resolution of their situations.
To summarize, this review serves as both an endorsement and a critique of the book "Tangerine." The positive aspects highlighted by the reviewer, such as the character development, attention to detail, and overall enjoyment, would make you more likely to buy the book. On the other hand, the negative comments about the ending might give you second thoughts, reducing the chances of you buying the product.
In conclusion, the chances of you buying the product would be somewhat increased by this review, but not without some reservations concerning the unsatisfying ending. Ultimately, the decision to purchase the book would depend on the weight you give to the positives and negatives mentioned in the review as well as your individual preferences and interests. |

cot.149463 | You are an AI assistant that helps people find information. | Imagine a question and stream-of-consciousness explanation for which this is the answer: it is not possible to tell | Question: Can humans predict the exact moment in which a specific leaf will fall from a tree during autumn?
Stream-of-consciousness explanation: When observing a tree during autumn, we can see that leaves change color and eventually fall off as the season progresses. Although we understand the basic factors that contribute to this process, such as chlorophyll breaking down and the cooler temperatures, predicting the exact moment a specific leaf will fall is quite complex. Multiple factors like wind, gravity, and the individual strength of the stem can contribute to the timing of a leaf falling. Furthermore, each leaf is unique, so even the slightest difference in the shape, size, or mass could affect the way it reacts to external forces. Additionally, external factors like weather patterns, animals, and human interactions may also interfere with the process. While we can predict the general time frame within which leaves will fall using weather forecasts, the specific moment for a particular leaf remains impossible to determine due to all the variables involved. Therefore, it is not possible to tell. |

Provide a detailed answer so user don’t need to search outside to understand the answer. | Information: - In biology, an organism is any contiguous living system, such as an animal, plant, fungus, archaeon, or bacterium. All known types of organisms are capable of some degree of response to stimuli, reproduction, growth and development and homeostasis. An organism consists of one or more cells; when it has one cell it is known as a unicellular organism; and when it has more than one it is known as a multicellular organism. Most unicellular organisms are of microscopic scale and are thus loosely described as microorganisms. Humans are multicellular organisms composed of many trillions of cells grouped into specialized tissues and organs. - Pseudemoia is a genus of skinks native to southeastern Australia. For similar skinks see genera "Bassiana", "Lampropholis", and "Niveoscincus". - Leiolopisma is a genus of skinks. Most species occur in the region of New Caledonia-New Zealand, and they are related to other genera from that general area, such as "Emoia"; these and others form the "Eugongylus" group. One living and two extinct taxa represent a clade endemic to the Mascarenes.(Austin & Arnold 2006) - Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands. It is the world's sixth-largest country by total area. The neighbouring countries are Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and East Timor to the north; the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu to the north-east; and New Zealand to the south-east. Australia's capital is Canberra, and its largest urban area is Sydney. - Eugongylus is a genus of skinks in the subfamily Lygosominae. The namesake of the "Eugonglyus" group of genera, it occupies a quite basal position among these. Members of this genus are commonly called mastiff skinks or short-legged giant skinks. - Oligosoma is a genus of small to medium-sized skinks (family Scincidae) found only in New Zealand as well as Norfolk and Lord Howe islands. "Oligosoma" belongs to the "Eugongylus" group of genera in the subfamily Lygosominae; the genus "Bassiana" appears to be fairly closely related. - For ancient Roman town in the territory of present - day Serbia , see : Bassianae . Bassiana is a genus of skinks ( family Scincidae ) . It belongs to the Eugongylus group ; the genus Oligosoma appears to be a fairly close relative . An alternative name is Acritoscincus . For similar skinks see genera Pseudemoia , Lampropholis , and Niveoscincus . - Niveoscincus is a genus of skinks (family Scincidae), commonly called snow skinks or cool-skinks and residing mainly in Tasmania or Victoria, Australia. The genus "Niveoscincus" belongs to a clade with the genera "Carlia", "Lampropholis" and possibly others of the "Eugongylus" group. For similar skinks see genera "Pseudemoia", "Lampropholis", and "Bassiana". These skinks have adapted to the cooler weather of southern Australia and particularly Tasmania, hence the common names. - Indonesia (or ; Indonesian: ), officially the Republic of Indonesia, is a unitary sovereign state and transcontinental country located mainly in Southeast Asia with some territories in Oceania. Situated between the Indian and Pacific oceans, it is the world's largest island country, with more than seventeen thousand islands. At , Indonesia is the world's 14th-largest country in terms of land area and world's 7th-largest country in terms of combined sea and land area. It has an estimated population of over 260 million people and is the world's fourth most populous country, the most populous Austronesian nation, as well as the most populous Muslim-majority country. The world's most populous island of Java contains more than half of the country's population. - Skinks are lizards belonging to the family Scincidae and the infraorder Scincomorpha. With more than 1,500 described species, the Scincidae is one of the most diverse families of lizards. - Lygosominae is the largest subfamily of skinks in the family Scincidae. The subfamily can be divided into a number of genus groups. If the rarely used taxonomic rank of infrafamily is employed, the genus groups would be designated as such, but such a move would require a formal description according to the ICZN standards. - Binomial nomenclature (also called binominal nomenclature or binary nomenclature) is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages. Such a name is called a binomial name (which may be shortened to just "binomial"), a binomen or a scientific name; more informally it is also called a Latin name. The first part of the name identifies the genus to which the species belongs; the second part identifies the species within the genus. For example, humans belong to the genus "Homo" and within this genus to the species "Homo sapiens". The "formal" introduction of this system of naming species is credited to Carl Linnaeus, effectively beginning with his work "Species Plantarum" in 1753. But Gaspard Bauhin, in as early as 1623, had introduced in his book "Pinax theatri botanici" (English, "Illustrated exposition of plants") many names of genera that were later adopted by Linnaeus. - Lizards are a widespread group of squamate reptiles, with over 6,000 species, ranging across all continents except Antarctica, as well as most oceanic island chains. The group, traditionally recognized as the suborder Lacertilia, is defined as all extant members of the Lepidosauria (reptiles with overlapping scales) that are neither sphenodonts (i.e., tuatara) nor snakes they form an evolutionary grade. While the snakes are recognized as falling phylogenetically within the Toxicofera clade from which they evolved, the sphenodonts are the sister group to the squamates, the larger monophyletic group, which includes both the lizards and the snakes. - A genus ( genera) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms in biology. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. - Lampropholis, the Indo-Australian ground skinks or sunskinks, are a genus of skinks in the lizard subfamily Lygosominae. The genus "Lampropholis" belongs to a clade with the genera "Niveoscincus", "Leiolopisma" and possibly others of the "Eugongylus" group. They are found mainly in Indonesia and Australia. For similar skinks see genera "Bassiana", "Pseudemoia", and "Niveoscincus". - New Zealand is an island nation in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmassesthat of the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Mui, and the South Island, or Te Waipounamuand numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long period of isolation, New Zealand developed a distinct biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland. - Carlia is a genus of skinks, commonly known as four-fingered skinks, in the subfamily Lygosominae. "Carlia" belongs to a clade with the genera "Niveoscincus", "Lampropholis", and possibly others of the "Eugongylus" group. - Tasmania (abbreviated as Tas and known colloquially as "Tassie") is an island state of the Commonwealth of Australia. It is located to the south of the Australian mainland, separated by Bass Strait. The state encompasses the main island of Tasmania, the 26th-largest island in the world, and the surrounding 334 islands. The state has a population of around 518,500, just over forty percent of which resides in the Greater Hobart precinct, which forms the metropolitan area of the state capital and largest city, Hobart.

Answer: | Arabic is primarily spoken in the Arab world, which is composed of 22 countries stretching across the Middle East and North Africa. These countries include Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Sudan, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, and others. Arabic is the liturgical language of Islam, the religion with more than 1.5 billion followers globally, so many non-Arab Muslims also have some knowledge of it.
Apart from these, Arabic is one of the six official UN languages and is spoken or understood to varying degrees in communities around the world. For instance, it's used by a significant number of people in countries like Chad, Eritrea, Israel, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Turkey.
Furthermore, in areas like the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, Germany, France, etc., there are immigrant communities from Arab countries who continue speaking Arabic at home. Some educational institutions worldwide also offer Arabic as a foreign language, which can potentially be spoken fluently by learners.
Thus, who speaks Arabic is not just limited to people living in Arab countries. Its spread is global, owing to historical, religious, cultural, and immigration factors. |

(CNN) -- Cricket Australia has trademarked the term "63 not out" in an attempt to prevent people cashing in on the death of its Test batsman Phillip Hughes. The 25-year-old Hughes died after being hit on the head by a ball in a domestic match in Sydney last month. He had reached the score of 63 runs when the tragic accident occurred. His untimely death stunned the sporting world and the scheduled first Test between Australia and India in Adelaide had to be postponed as his teammates struggled to cope with their grief at his passing. Tributes on social media initially centered around a campaign #putyourbatsout on Twitter as thousands of people photographed cricket bats in unusual places to mark their respect for Hughes.

Article: | Title: Painful Prescription
Hello little friends! Today, we'll talk about something called a "painful prescription." A "prescription" is a special note that a doctor gives you after visiting them. This note allows you to get specific medicine that can help you feel better. But sometimes, the medicine we get for our pains or boo-boos can be a little bit painful itself.
Imagine you have a little cut on your finger. It hurts, right? Now, let's pretend that you go to the doctor, and they give you some medicine to make it feel better. But, uh-oh! It turns out that medicine also hurts when you put it on. This is what we call a "painful prescription." It is helpful but can cause a little bit of pain.
Sometimes, the medicine we get may have some side effects. Side effects are unexpected things that can happen because of the medicine. For instance, you could feel a little sleepy, or your stomach could be upset. Remember, these side effects are usually temporary and go away once you stop taking the medicine.
It's important to know that not all prescriptions are painful, but some can be. The doctor is trying to help you get better, but sometimes the process of healing might cause a bit of discomfort.
So, how do we handle a painful prescription? Here are a few tips:
1. Know that it's okay to feel a little worried or scared. Medicine can sometimes be a little scary!
2. Always talk to your mom, dad, or guardian about any concerns you have with your medicine. They are here to help you and can explain things better.
3. Remember that the doctor gave you this prescription because they think it's the best way to make you feel better. Trust that they want to help you get better.
4. If the pain or discomfort is too much, let your parents or guardians know. It's important to tell them how you're feeling.
5. Finally, try to think about the end goal: getting better! It might be a little painful now, but soon you'll be feeling much better and back to your usual self.
So, young friends, that's what a painful prescription is! Keep these tips in mind if you ever have to take some medicine that's a little bit painful, and remember to always listen and trust your doctor, parents, or guardian. They all want you to get better and feel your best! |

Who pays a greater share of their income in taxes — Warren Buffett, or his administrative assistant?
Obviously, posing the question implies its answer.
Politicians may tout the virtues of our “progressive” tax system, but it doesn’t really favor the poor over the rich.
Nor does it favor the rich over the poor, not when 40% of federal tax receipts come from 1% of the population. Fairly or otherwise, the tax system favors the diligent over the unprepared. Specifically, the system favors independent businesspeople over salaried workers.
This topic requires a book-length explanation, but to summarize, starting your own business lets you enjoy tax advantages wage slaves only dream of. Take two people in the same field, making like incomes, living in the same city — the only exception being that one owns his own business and the other works for someone else. It’s eminently possible that the latter person’s tax bill is nine times the former’s.

Declare your independence today, if your career lets you make a horizontal shift to entrepreneurship. If you’re an anesthesiologist, it’ll be hard to rent out an office and put up a sign that reads “Mepivacaine Administered Here — Happy Hour 4 – 7.” But if you’re an accountant, real estate agent, home inspector, engineer, attorney* or in any kind of creative profession, you can take advantage of complex tax laws.
I’m not talking about the kind of entrepreneurship that requires you to open a physical storefront and spend years building a customer base. I’m talking about changes you can make now that will immediately impact your bottom line.
I tried to go as long as I could without using the first-person pronoun, but my story illustrates the point. A decade ago I was working for a decently-sized advertising agency as a senior copywriter, making somewhat more than the nation’s per capita income. One day I ran the numbers and realized I could make more money going out on my own.

I collected most of my new clients, other ad agencies, via word-of-mouth. But most importantly, I took on the very agency I’d left as a client — and charged them about 30% more than they paid me as an employee. There are two components to that: 1) they were underpaying me to begin with, but had to cough up once I exercised my leverage and threatened to walk and B) the daily rate they paid me after the switch was just for the services I rendered nothing else. It included no employee benefits, no capital expenditures for a workstation, no space reserved for me at the office Christmas party, no food allowance, no 6.2% Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax, no unemployment insurance premium. The responsibility for all that now fell on me.
Which is wonderful. It meant that instead of my former employer enjoying all the possible tax deductions from my labor, I got to take advantage of them. My taxes got a little more complicated — I now had to keep more detailed records, and file quarterly instead of annually — but the benefits grossly outweighed the costs.
It’s easy to get started, but also easy to make mistakes. You don’t want to be a single proprietor. You want to found an S Corporation, a legal entity that protects you from creditors who are forbidden from coming after certain classifications of income. An S Corporation lets you separate your money between salary and capital gains, the latter of which is taxed at a lower rate.

Find a company that specializes in entity formation. It’ll cost maybe $500 for them to register you with the relevant state’s Secretary of State office. You don’t have to register in your home state, either. If you live in California or New York, you don’t want to — those states’ laws don’t protect you enough from creditors. Register in Delaware or Nevada or, failing that, your home state.
Once you incorporate it starts forcing you to think like a businessman. Income will now be tabulated on IRS 1099 forms, rather than those infamous W-2s. The former is where you want most of your income to come from. As a practical matter, once you incorporate you’ll pay (correction: your company will pay) you a salary. What’s a reasonable amount to cover your annual living expenses; maybe $24,000? Then that’s what Employee #1, you, will receive and pay taxes on. After deductions, your effective tax rate on the salary will be close to zero.
But what about the rest of your company’s income? Legally speaking, the rest of the revenue your S Corporation takes in is not salary, but shareholder dividends. Which are taxed at a lower rate than salaries are. And you can now deduct all sorts of business expenses before calculating the net shareholder dividends you’ll pay taxes on. Go to IRS.gov and check out Form 2106. Your employer fills one of these out every time you go on a business trip, or eat a meal on company time, or buy anything related to your job. And your employer then enjoys the tax deduction.

How can I remove seeds from chili peppers?
Output: | To remove seeds from chili peppers, follow the steps outlined below. This process involves carefully cutting the chili peppers, then using a tool or your fingers to remove the seeds and membrane.
1. Preparation:
- First, gather the materials needed for this task: a cutting board, a sharp knife, a spoon or a small brush, a bowl, and disposable gloves (optional).
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
- If you have sensitive skin or want to avoid contact with capsaicin (the compound responsible for the chili's heat), wear disposable gloves during this process.
- Rinse the chili peppers under running water to remove dirt and debris.
2. Remove the stem:
- Place the chili pepper on the cutting board with the stem facing up.
- Hold the chili with one hand (wear gloves if necessary) and cut off the stem using the sharp knife in your other hand.
3. Cut the chili pepper:
- Depending on the size of the chili pepper, there are two suggested methods for cutting:
a) For larger chili peppers, such as jalapenos:
- Hold the pepper lengthwise on the cutting board with the cut stem side facing up.
- Carefully make a lengthwise incision along one side of the pepper, from the top to the bottom, without cutting all the way through.
- Gently open the chili pepper to expose the seeds and membrane.
b) For smaller chili peppers, such as Thai bird's eye or serrano:
- Hold the chili pepper horizontally on the cutting board with one hand.
- Carefully cut the chili pepper into half lengthwise along its entire length, splitting it into two equal halves.
4. Remove the seeds and membrane:
- Using a spoon or small brush, gently scrape away the seeds and the white membrane from the inside of the chili pepper. This is where most of the heat resides. If you prefer less heat in your recipe, make sure to remove as much of the membrane as possible.
- Alternatively, you can use your gloved fingers to remove seeds and membrane from the pepper. Be careful not to press too hard, as this may accidentally release the spicy capsaicin oil from the seeds.
5. Clean up:
- Deposit the seeds into the bowl and discard them.
- Rinse the chili pepper halves under running water to remove any remaining seeds. This will also help to wash away small bits of the membrane.
- After you're finished, thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water, and make sure to clean the cutting board, knife, and other utensils to avoid any cross-contamination with other food items.
Now you have successfully removed seeds from chili peppers, and they're ready to be used in your recipe. |

Step 1: Check for official announcements
I would search for any official statement from the production team, the show's official social media, or a press release. This would give me the most accurate information about the show's upcoming season.
Step 2: Look for news articles
If there is no official announcement, I would search for any news articles or reports about the show. Reputable entertainment websites and news outlets might have insights or insider information about the premiere date.
Step 3: Monitor fan forums and social media
Fan forums, discussion boards, and social media platforms can provide updates and insights from dedicated fans and viewers of the show. However, this information might not be as reliable as official sources, so I would take it with a grain of caution.
Step 4: Consider updates due to TV schedules and global events
If there are changes in the television schedule or any global event that might have an impact on the show's production or premiere, such as a pandemic-related delay, I would take those into account while assessing the likelihood of the show's return.
Step 5: Make an estimation
Based on the gathered information, I would estimate when the new season of America's Next Top Model might start. It is crucial to note that estimations might not be accurate, and it is always best to rely on official sources for confirmed dates.

– All it took was the sight of a dollar bill to make Peter Bilello cry. The story goes back 50 years to when the Italian native, now 86, visited his mother back in Italy, ABC News reports. "My mother, she knew this girl," he says. "And my mother says, 'Why don't you get married.'" Sure enough, Bilello and a 23-year-old woman named Grace tied the knot just 40 days later. They moved to Connecticut in 1964, had two kids, four grandkids, and were inseparable, Bilello says. Their bond only grew tighter when she was diagnosed with cancer in 2001: "Me and my wife were together all the time," he says. "Doctors, hospitals. I was with my wife all the time. And it made a lot of difference... for sick people to have support of the family." Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery seemed to work, but her cancer returned three years later. For fun, Bilello had each of them sign a dollar bill in their own name—"Peter B." and "Grace B."—and he kept the bills in his wallet. The bills remained there until he went shopping five years ago, and spent them by mistake: "I came home and told my wife... 'Grace, I made a big mistake today," says the Connecticut resident. "I'm never going to see [the dollars again].'" Grace died of breast cancer last year, not long after their 50th wedding anniversary, WJBF reports. Then it happened: Out for lunch a few weeks ago, Bilello and his granddaughter received the "Grace B." bill as change. "I said, 'Oh my god, Ashley, look.' We started to cry," he says. "We were so happy to get the dollar back. I never thought I'd get that dollar back."
Article: | The Heartwarming Story of a Couple's Love, Memories, and a Signed Dollar Bill
All it took to bring tears to Peter Bilello's eyes was the sight of a dollar bill. This isn't just any dollar bill, but one filled with memories and love spanning half a century. The remarkable story originated when Peter, who is now 86, visited his mother in Italy 50 years ago.
Like many Italian natives, family is at the heart of Peter Bilello's life. During his visit to his hometown, his mother insisted on introducing him to a young woman named Grace. "My mother, she knew this girl," Peter recalls. "And my mother says, 'Why don't you get married.'" It didn't take long for Peter and the 23-year-old Grace to realize that they were destined for each other. Just 40 days after their meeting, the two tied the knot.
Leaving Italy for a new life, the couple moved to Connecticut in 1964. Over the years, Peter and Grace built a family of their own, welcoming two children and eventually enjoying the company of four grandchildren. The pair remained inseparable throughout their years together, with Peter proudly declaring: "Me and my wife were together all the time."
Family bonds grew even tighter when Grace was diagnosed with cancer in 2001. Peter stayed by Grace's side throughout the entire process, providing unwavering support through countless medical appointments. "Doctors, hospitals. I was with my wife all the time," he says. "And it made a lot of difference... for sick people to have support of the family."
After years of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, the couple was hopeful when Grace's cancer appeared to be in remission. They made a memory together by signing their names on two dollar bills – "Peter B." and "Grace B." – which Peter kept in his wallet. However, a heartbreaking twist occurred in 2010 when Peter accidentally spent the treasured dollar bills. "I came home and told my wife," Peter recounts. "Grace, I made a big mistake today. I'm never going to see [the dollars again]."
Sadly, Grace's cancer returned, and she passed away last year, shortly after their 50th wedding anniversary. As Peter continued to mourn the loss of his beloved wife, a seemingly impossible event occurred. While out to lunch one day, Peter and his granddaughter received one of the signed dollar bills as change – the one signed by Grace.
Both astounded and emotional, Peter couldn't help but feel that the reappearance of the beloved bill was destiny, as if a message from beyond. "I said, 'Oh my god, Ashley, look.' We started to cry," recalls Peter. "We were so happy to get the dollar back. I never thought I'd get that dollar back."
The touching story of love, memories, and a signed dollar bill serves as a testament to the indomitable power of the human spirit and the unbreakable bond between two souls. In a world filled with hardships and challenges, Peter and Grace's inspiring journey is a gentle reminder of the beauty of life and the importance of cherishing our time with loved ones. |

The failed referendum in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy is the first known instance of the issue being addressed at a local level, but it might not be the last. "I think we'll see this more and more," said Mallory Quigley, communications director for Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion group. "We're constantly doing things on the local level in terms of outreach because those methods are very effective in bringing about social change in general," said Tara Shaver, who with her husband, Bud, is with the group Project Defending Life. Albuquerque voters reject late-term abortion ban
After watching a successful local campaign to place a minimum wage increase on the Albuquerque ballot in 2012, | Bud and Tara Shaver recognized the potential impact of addressing contentious issues at the local level and decided to use a similar grassroots approach for their anti-abortion efforts, ultimately sparking a nationwide conversation on the effectiveness of localized campaigns in driving social change around sensitive topics. |

Hypothesis: "A couple strolls hand and hand on a beach."
Is the hypothesis entailed by the premise?
Options:
- yes
- it is not possible to tell
- no.
Teacher: Let's think:
| AI Assistant: To determine if the hypothesis is entailed by the premise, we should first understand the meaning of entailment. Entailment in this context means that the truth of the premise guarantees the truth of the hypothesis. In other words, if the premise is true, then the hypothesis must also be true.
Now let's examine the given premise and hypothesis:
Premise: "People playing hockey on ice." This statement talks about people engaged in a specific activity (playing hockey) in a specific environment (on ice).
Hypothesis: "A couple strolls hand and hand on a beach." This statement describes a different scenario involving a couple engaging in a different activity (strolling hand-in-hand) in a different environment (on a beach).
Since the premise and hypothesis describe completely different situations, it's clear that the truth of the premise does not guarantee the truth of the hypothesis. Therefore, the answer is "no," the hypothesis is not entailed by the premise. |

t0.552375 | Please answer the following question about this movie plot. If it's un-answerable, please output "No answer". Question: Why does Casper keep his romantic involvement with Martha a secret? Movie plot title: Sin Nombre Movie plot: Willy, nicknamed El Casper, is a member of the Mara Salvatrucha gang and lives in Tapachula, a Mexican town near the border with Guatemala. He introduces a young boy into his gang, and the boy is given the nickname Smiley after a violent initiation. Casper later helps Smiley to complete this initiation by helping him execute a rival gang-member. Casper is romantically involved with a girl, Martha Marlen. Fearing for the girl's safety, he keeps the relationship a secret from his gang, but his double life causes his gang to doubt his loyalty. When Martha follows Casper to a gathering of his gang, the gang leader, Lil Mago, escorts her out, despite Casper's misgivings. Mago attempts to rape Martha and accidentally kills her. Later, he blithely tells Casper that he will find another. Shortly afterward, Mago brings Casper and Smiley to La Bombilla, a location along the train tracks where potential illegal immigrants stow away on passing trains on their way to the United States. Among the immigrants is a Honduran family introduced earlier consisting of the teenage girl Sayra, her father, and her uncle, who are on their way to relatives in New Jersey. Lil Mago, Casper, and Smiley rob the passengers for any money they have until Lil Mago spots Sayra and attempts to rape her. Casper intervenes, killing Mago and then sending Smiley off. Smiley goes back to the gang and reports about Mago's death. The new gang leader, El Sol, accuses Smiley of collusion, to which Smiley timidly protests and begs to be sent to kill Casper to prove his loyalty. El Sol agrees and Smiley travels north to track down Casper. On the train, the still shocked Casper is avoided by other passengers. When some try to throw him off the train, Sayra warns Casper and keeps on approaching him, despite her father's warnings. Casper's knowledge from previously smuggling gang members and avoiding the police proves useful, as he eludes his pursuers. He is finally accepted by Sayra's family but decides to leave the train while the others are sleeping....
The answer to this question is: | Casper keeps his romantic involvement with Martha a secret because he fears for her safety, knowing that his gang might harm her or put her in danger if they find out about their relationship. |

Do something to remind yourself or others about the time capsule. Make extra arrangements for a time capsule that will outlive you. Place a marker of some kind on the exact site of a buried capsule. | Title: A Time Capsule Legacy: Ensuring the Preservation and Discovery of Your Buried Treasures
Introduction
A time capsule is a timeless tradition that captures the essence of a particular era by preserving objects, memories, and stories for future generations to discover. Often buried underground or enclosed within a structure, a time capsule can hold items that provide a snapshot of the lives, culture, and events of the time they were created. Ensuring that your time capsule will outlive you and be discovered by future generations takes careful planning and dedication. This article delves into the steps and strategies to help your time capsule stand the test of time.
1. Choose a Suitable Capsule
Selecting the right capsule is essential for the longevity of your time capsule. It is vital to invest in high-quality, durable materials that can withstand time, humidity, and pressure. Look for stainless steel, fiberglass, or concrete containers that can resist corrosion and damage. Durable seals, such as O-ring gaskets or silicone sealants, will help protect the interior from moisture and other hazardous elements.
2. Select and Preserve Your Items
The items you choose to include in your time capsule should be representative of the era and meaningful to the future discoverers. Be thoughtful when selecting items, considering their material composition and ensuring that they will not decompose or affect other items inside the capsule. To further preserve your treasures, encase items in airtight packaging and use acid-free or archival-grade materials.
3. Document Your Time Capsule
Proper documentation about the time capsule’s content and location will help others locate it in the future. This documentation should include an inventory of the items in the capsule, the burial date, the exact location, and any special instructions for opening the capsule. Store this information in multiple formats, such as digital and hard copies, and entrust it to a few reliable sources, such as family members, friends, or local historical societies.
4. Pick a Strategic Location
Choose a secure, accessible, and easily identifiable location to bury your time capsule. Consider burying it on your property or a public area, such as a park or a historical preservation site, but make sure to obtain necessary permits and permissions before doing so. Take into account potential construction or natural elements that may compromise the capsule's safety.
5. Create a Permanent Marker
Ensure that your time capsule's location remains known by placing a durable, clearly engraved marker at the burial site. This visible marker could be a plaque, monument, or engraved stone with details of the time capsule’s location, contents, and intended opening date. Make sure the marker material has the longevity to remain intact, with details still legible, for many years.
6. Encourage a Time Capsule Tradition
Inspire future generations to continue the time capsule tradition by including a letter or document that urges the importance of time capsules in preserving history. Encourage them to create new time capsules using the artifacts found in your capsule and to continue the cycle so that each generation can learn about their ancestors and their way of life.
7. Spread the Word
Share your time capsule project with your community, friends, and family. By doing so, you increase the chances that your time capsule will not be forgotten, and someone will remember its existence in the future. By engaging people and creating awareness, you plant a seed to ensure the discovery of your time capsules in the years to come.
Conclusion
Creating a successful time capsule requires careful planning, durable materials, strategic placement, and long-lasting memorials. By taking these steps to ensure the preservation and discoverability of your time capsule, you are not only creating a lasting legacy for yourself but also leaving a priceless gift of knowledge and memories for future generations. Remember that the time capsule is an opportunity to connect across time, and your efforts will help maintain the link between the past, present, and future. |
flan.2113680 | You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. | Ride to Lowell<br>My sister-in-law had jury duty in 2010. The trial was in Lowell, 29 miles away from Cambridge. She does not like driving, so I took her there. I stayed in the library while she went to court. She did not get picked and we went home at noon.
Can we draw the following conclusion?
The sister-in-law has met with ash | From the information provided, it is not possible to draw the conclusion that the sister-in-law has met with ash. The story involves the narrator driving their sister-in-law to jury duty in Lowell, which is 29 miles away from Cambridge. The sister-in-law does not enjoy driving, so the narrator decided to take her. While waiting, the narrator stayed at the library, and at noon, they both returned home since the sister-in-law was not selected for jury duty.
There are no details or indicators in the text to suggest that the sister-in-law met with ash or had any encounter related to ash during this experience. The focus of the story is primarily on the transportation and support offered by the narrator for their sister-in-law's jury duty obligation.
To draw a conclusion or make assumptions about the sister-in-law meeting with ash, we would need more information or context surrounding the events that occurred during their time in Lowell or any specific interactions related to ash. Without such information, it would be inaccurate and speculative to concur that the sister-in-law has indeed met with ash.
In order to generate a conclusion from a given text, it is crucial to identify and analyze the relevant details, facts, and events presented in the story. Conclusions should be based on the available information and should not be derived from unsupported assumptions or unrelated elements. In this case, the conclusion regarding the sister-in-law meeting with ash cannot be drawn, as the narrative does not provide any evidence or context to support that claim. |
