<s>[INST] Compose a short email to my sister, reminding her about our upcoming sister’s outing. Remind her how we went on a hike together and took a yoga class, where I almost broke my bones last year. [/INST] Dear (sister’s name), How have you been faring? I hope you’ve been well. I hope this letter meets you well. You know sister’s day is soon coming or have you forgotten about it? This year’s outing will be so special because you’d be there. Remember how we window-shopped last year and didn’t buy a single item from the store? We went on a hike together and took a yoga class, where I almost broke my bones. Sister’s day with you is always fun. This year promises to be more interesting. We could whip up some DIY face masks, visit the spa, or do both. You mustn’t miss our outing on sister’s day for any reason. There’s no better way to spend your sister’s day than with me, your sister. I love you. </s>
<s>[INST] Rewrite the paragraph as if it was a segment from a children's storybook. "Alexander Graham Bell is often credited with being the inventor of the telephone since he was awarded the first successful patent. However, there were many other inventors such as Elisha Gray and Antonio Meucci who also developed a talking telegraph. The telephone’s basic concept is simple: It transmits sound from one point to another. The microphone, which transforms our voice into an electrical signal, is its core technology. This electrical signal is then transmitted via a network of wires and cables to the telephone receiver, which converts the signal back into sound waves." [/INST] Once upon a time, a very clever man named Alexander Graham Bell made something we now know as the telephone. He was the first one to get a special paper called a patent, saying it was really and truly his idea! But, there were also other smart people like Elisha Gray and Antonio Meucci who made a magical device that could send talking sounds over a long distance, just like a chatty telegraph. The telephone is actually a pretty simple thing: it's like a messenger that carries our voice from one place to another. The hero of this story is the microphone, a little part of the telephone that changes our words into a kind of electric language that the telephone understands. This electric language then races along a path of wires and cables until it reaches another telephone. There, it changes back into our voice, so the person on the other end can hear us. Isn't that amazing? </s>
<s>[INST] I'm trying boba tea for the first time, but I'm a little scared. I love super sweet tea and I'm a fan of more traditional flavors. Give me five good options for trying boba tea for the first time. [/INST] Of course! Boba tea is a tasty beverage you're going to love. Here are five of the best flavors: 1. Taro Milk Tea: The best flavor of milk tea is Taro. It's a sweet purple root that tastes like a dessert yam, but it isn't overwhelming. It's a subtle, valuable flavor. 2. Brown Sugar Milk Tea: Brown sugar is one of the most popular flavors right now. It's sweet and fresh. Plus, the boba is cooked in brown sugar syrup to add to the flavor. It's also known as tiger stripe boba in some locations. 3. Black Milk Tea: This classic is the most basic of basic flavors, but not in a bad way. It's slightly creamy with a low-key flavor for an excellent sip every time. 4. Thai Iced Tea: Thai iced tea is a little more flavorful. It's bright orange and sweet, spiced with cardamom, star anise, and more. It's sweetened with tasty condensed milk and sugar. 5. Strawberry Milk Tea: If you love berries, go for a strawberry milk tea option. It's made with strawberry powder or fresh strawberries, then sweetened with a creamer. It's usually thick and refreshing. </s>
<s>[INST] Rewrite this so that a child could understand it A SIMPLE EXPLANATION Opal is formed from a solution of silicon dioxide and water. As water runs down through the earth, it picks up silica from sandstone, and carries this silica-rich solution into cracks and voids , caused by natural faults or decomposing fossils. As the water evaporates, it leaves behind a silica deposit. This cycle repeats over very long periods of time, and eventually opal is formed. Visualise the inside of an opal, like a bag of marbles. The marbles are the silica spheres. Smaller spheres are more commonly forming, and tend to defract the purple/ blue/ green colours. Larger spheres are rarer forming, and tend to show off the yellow/ orange/ pink and red colours. Hence why these are the rarer colours to find in Australian Opal. [/INST] Opal is a special gemstone that is formed in a unique way. Imagine that opal is like a bag of marbles inside the Earth. These marbles are made of a shiny material called silica. Silica is a special kind of sand. When it rains, the water soaks into the ground and collects some of the silica from the sand. Then, the water travels through tiny cracks and holes in the Earth's rocks. These cracks can be made by things like fossils or natural breaks in the rocks. As the water with the silica inside it moves through these cracks, something magical happens. The water starts to evaporate, which means it turns into a gas and disappears. But when the water goes away, it leaves behind the silica it carried. Over a very long time, these silica deposits build up and form beautiful opal. The size of the silica spheres inside the opal is what gives it its colors. Smaller spheres make colors like purple, blue, and green. These colors are more common in opal. But larger spheres are rarer and make colors like yellow, orange, pink, and red. That's why you don't see those colors as often in opal. </s>
<s>[INST] Can you write a story about a girl who sings karaoke and realizes she is destined to be a star? Less than 325 words and include dialogue [/INST] Christine was so nervous she was practically shaking, so she gripped the steering wheel a little harder to keep her hands steady. It was her friend Jackie's birthday, and she had begrudgingly agreed to go out to karaoke with their group of friends. She parked her car outside the karaoke room. "Maybe I'll just watch you guys perform," she said sheepishly to her friends, who came up to greet her as she got out of the car. "Absolutely not!" said Jackie, grinning. "It's my birthday and you promised!" Christine sighed, following her friends into the building. Jackie went up first to perform, and everyone cheered at her silly rendition of Dancing Queen. It gave Christine a little more confidence to see the positive response, but she still was not convinced that this was a good idea. "You should go next, Christine!" said her friend, Max. Everyone joined in to encourage her, so she nervously made her way to the stage. Her face was bright red and her knees felt weak. The opening chords of I Can't Make You Love Me started to play as she gathered her breath. She tried to imagine herself alone in her bedroom, belting it out as she had many times before. Before she knew it, she was singing. The room fell quiet, listening intently to her passionate rendition. As she finished, she felt exhilarated. She ran back to her friends and practically collapsed into her chair. "I don't even know what to say, Christine," said Max, smiling softly. "That was incredible. I never knew you had such a great voice!" Everyone agreed, and Christine suddenly realized that she had loved every second of the experience. She had never thought she had the potential to be a singer, but suddenly it felt possible. She realized that she wanted to do whatever it took to become a star. </s>

<s>[INST] When was the mechanical pencil invented? [/INST] The earliest known example of a mechanical pencil dates to the late 18th century and was discovered in the debris from HMS Pandora's 1791 shipwreck. The first patent issued for a pencil with a refillable lead-dispensing mechanism was issued in 1822 to British inventors John Isaac Hawkins and Sampson Mordan. The following year, Mordan bought out Hawkins' patent rights and started a business with Gabriel Riddle manufacturing pencils. Their business partnership ended in 1837. Mordan continued to produce pencils and other silver objects under the name "S. Mordan & Co" until the factory was bombed in World War II. </s>
<s>[INST] Write me a couple paragraphs on the origins and roots of politics. [/INST] Politics' origins are hard to trace to the ultimate beginning, but basically, as long as humans have existed, so has politics. Politics has roots all the way to the earliest known civilizations, including ancient Greece, Egypt, and the Roman Empire. These societies came up with elaborate systems of governing, with laws regulating allowed behavior, to keep their cities and communities functioning safely and smoothly. At its basic and most primitive form, politics was the art of managing the affairs of the community. As populations grew and become increasingly complex and diverse, they also began to interact more often with each other. This was a catalyst for exponential growth in the field of political science, giving rise to things like foreign policy, diplomacy, and especially warfare. The emergence of new empires and nations created new political systems, such as republics, monarchies, and democracies. Of course, in each political arena, there were many ideas as to what was best for everyone, which also led to new ideologies, including conservatism, socialism, and fascism. Many of these ideas still exist today in some form. </s>

<s>[INST] My work's family fun day is this weekend, and I'm in charge of planning some kind of game or something that the kids can do. I want to do a few different things though so we aren't doing the same thing over and over for 6 hours.

Here are some examples of activities you can plan for the family fun day at your work: - Sack racing. Each participant gets a burlap sack that they stand in and race to a finish line by hopping. The first person across the finish line wins. - Water balloon toss. Participants are paired off and each pair gets a water balloon. They toss the water balloon back and forth, taking a step back after each successful toss. The last pair with an intact water balloon wins. - Competitive hopscotch. A hopscotch court can be marked on pavement in chalk or on grass with hoops or ribbons. Participants hop across the court back and forth. When a participant reaches either end, they toss a marker into a space of their competitor's court. The first person to hop into a marked space is out. - Egg balance race. Participants must race through a course while balancing an egg on a small spoon through a course to the finish line. If a person drops their egg, they must go back to the beginning to fetch another egg. The first person to cross the finish line, with an egg intact, wins. - Musical hoops. Similar to musical chairs, the game starts with one fewer hoop than participants laid out in a circle. Another person plays some music as the participants walk around the outside of the circle. They stop the music randomly and then each participant must find a hoop to stand in or else they are out of the game. Then one hoop is removed, and the game continues in this fashion until there is one participant left. Whatever you decide, please remember to wear sun protection, stay hydrated and have fun! </s>

<s>[INST] Come up with a summary of the art of Jeet Kune Do, created by legendary martial artist Bruce Lee, if it were written by Bruce Lee himself. [/INST] Jeet Kune Do is a martial art that is also not a martial art. What this means is that Jeet Kune Do (which means "Way of the Intercepting Fist") is a martial art that takes from other martial arts that which is useful and discards that which is useless. It employs any means to win a fight in the context of hand-to-hand combat - kicking, punching, grappling, biting, eye gouging, and so on. It is what today's martial artists would call "mixed martial arts," or MMA for short. But it is not necessarily a martial art as we know it. Most, if not all, martial arts are crystallizations made up of sets and forms that prohibit and restrict their practitioners and make them contort their bodies into unusual positions like the "horse stance" or "cat stance." Real fighting entails using your body to its fullest potential; locking it up in forms and stances only restricts the body from realizing its full potential. For instance, while you're getting into your horse stance, your opponent might kick you in your exposed groin. Jeet Kune Do is about being fluid, stopping or intercepting an attack with your weapons (fist, foot, etc.), and ending the fight as quickly as possible. Being fluid means becoming like water; it is yielding, and yet it is powerful enough to move large objects and crash with ferocity. It is also a mindset: instead of anticipating an opponent's attack, you simply "react" to it using your weapons and the skills you developed through practice and training. Intercepting means stopping an attack with a counterattack as it is being initiated. One of the most relevant examples of this concept in Jeet Kune Do is the use of the "stop kick." The stop kick is used against an opponent when the opponent is lunging forward toward you in an attack; the side thrust or front thrust kick can literally stop the opponent in their tracks and prevent them from advancing further while also striking them in turn. Training up to this concept looks something like this: 1) learning to block; 2) learning to strike; 3) learning to block then strike; 4) learning to block and strike at the same time; 5) learning to strike without blocking by moving off the line of attack and moving into the opponent where they are open or exposed. </s>
<s>[INST] List the steps of developing keywords with brief descriptions for each step. [/INST] Sure! Keyword research is the first step in creating SEO content. Here are the steps to take when just starting keyword research: Step 1: Brainstorm your "seed" keywords. This shouldn't take too long as these will be words that are quite broad but relate to your website's purpose. Step 2: Do competitor research. To find your competitors, google your seed words and see which sites come up first. Then, you can see what your competitors are ranking for using an online competitive intelligence tool for SEO. Step 3: Use keyword research tools. This is another way to add to your list of keywords. There are both free tools and ones that cost money, but the most popular is Google Keyword Planner, which is free to use. Step 4: Learn more about your niche. Keep adding to your list of keywords by knowing what the people in your niche are talking about by visiting forums, reading Twitter threads, etc. </s>
<s>[INST] I want to know about baseball. Can you tell me how the game works? [/INST] Baseball is a game where two teams take turns at bat attempting to earn runs by hitting a baseball. When a player hits the ball, they run around three bases to reach home plate, which scores a run. The team in the field has the goal of stopping the other team from scoring runs by catching their hit balls in the air, throwing the ball to a base ahead of the runner, or tagging the runner out. Batters can also strike out by missing the ball with the bat 3 times or can earn a base if the pitcher throws 4 balls outside of the strike zone. At the end of 9 innings, the team with the most runs wins the game. Baseball is popular in many countries, but has been nicknamed "America's Pastime." </s>

The plane was leaving in four hours, so she gave herself enough to get comfortable and check in once she got there. Suddenly, the train stopped and she was flung forward a bit. Over the speakers was an announcement. "Sorry for the inconvenience, ladies and gentlemen. We seem to run into a bit of a problem with the train engine, and it will take about an hour to fix. We apologize for any trouble incurred by this, and we will try to fix this as fast as possible." Aqua was angry. Did they think to look at the train engine before starting for the day? There was nothing she could do, so she sat back down in her seat and looked outside. It was unnaturally foggy; you couldn't see anything outside. Aqua was getting a little curious. She stood up and paced back and forward in the train car that no one but her was in. Curiosity turned into fear as suddenly, the train doors slid open without a warning. Aqua heard the train doors slide open without an announcement. She started to get scared. "What is happening? she thought. She walked over to the door and looked outside. The fog was so deep that a flashlight couldn't penetrate it. What was once fear turned back into curiosity as Aqua tried to walk outside. It felt like there was no ground to stand on, but the fog was firm enough for Aqua to stand on. She kept walking and walking, making sure to stay close to the train. The fear was settling in, she didn't know where she was and there was no one in the train cars next to her as well. She tried to go back to her train car but there was this sudden, mesmerizing light in her path. The next thing Aqua knew, she saw space in front of her and below her, the town that she left. She was in the sky!? </s>

<s>[INST] Write a eureka moment for William Chapman when he solved the 1787 building problem. [/INST] In the late 18th century, builders did their best to always intersect aqueducts and roads at right angles. It would simplify the building process and ensure structural stability. However, the Store Street Aquaduct had to be built on a 45-degree skew. The builders pleaded with the city planners. They needed a workaround to avoid the skew, but the bureaucrats wouldn't say yes. William Jessop had been an engineer for Benjamin Outram, the lead architect for the project. Jessop suddenly remembered that his old boss, William Chapman, had already laid the roadwork they needed to travel on. Back in 1787, Chapman had a problem to deal with when he was building bridges for the Kildare Canal. When looking at the blueprints on a grid, Chapman suddenly realized he could use create a falsework parallel to the arches that would sustain the structure even with the odd skew. His work turned out successful, but Jessop and Outram had to perfect his plan if they wanted to successfully build the Store Street Aquaduct. Using the timber falsework method, the two builders marked out the position of the courses at the crown and the courses across the remainder of the arch. With that, thanks to Chapman's keen insight and Jessop's quick thinking, Outram completed the Store Street Aquaduct which still exists today. </s>

List at least 6 flowers. [/INST] Most plants love the sun, but many beautiful shade-loving flowers could be perfect in your garden. Here are some options for plants that will provide vivid color, but don’t need that much sun: - Impatiens: Coming in a variety of colors and hues, impatiens bloom in spring and summer. Too much sun can wilt them, so a shade garden is a perfect spot. - Bleeding Hearts: These unique, heart-shaped flowers produce their fullest blooms in a shady spot. - Rhododendron: Unlike many plants, these flowering shrubs thrive under the cover of trees in rich, moist soil. - Lungwort: If you are looking for something that spreads, this is a great option. Lungwort loves the shade and produces lovely pink and violet flowers. - Fuchsia: This plant produces trailing, teardrop-shaped flowers. Fuchsia hates the harsh sun, so a shady spot will keep it very happy. - Foxgloves: These plants produce tall, elegant flower clusters in a wide variety of colors. They can handle some sun in cooler climates, but they thrive in shade. </s>

A series of magic circles appeared around her, firing rays of light at the dummies. She simultaneously cast another spell.

<s>[INST] What are 5 great excercises i can do anywhere to increase my core strength? include how to do them [/INST] Here are five exercises you can do anywhere: 1. Plank The plank is the most renowned exercise that targets your entire core. A plank is an exceptional way to strengthen your abs and your obliques and work your deep muscle to increase your overall stability and power. To perform a plank, start in a pushup position, then move down to rest your weight on your forearms with your hands touching so that your arms can form a V shape. From this position, maintain your straight posture and avoid your stomach sagging. Hold the position for as long as you can. It won't be long before you feel the burn. 2. Side plank Pay particular attention to your obliques by performing a side plank as an alternative to a normal plank. Start by getting into a standard plank position. Next, rotate your body so that one side of your body faces the sky. Squeeze your core with one leg straight out and your body stiff in a straight line. Squeeze your core and hold the pose for as long as possible before switching sides. Make sure to try equal lengths on both sides so that you don't get muscle imbalances. 3. Reverse Crunches Crunches are a great exercise for your core, but this variation adds a slight degree of difficulty if you are finding standard crunches too easy. This exercise works the lower abs, in particular. Start in a standard crunch position, lying down with your knees bent. Keep your hands flat on the ground next to your hips. To perform the exercise, lift your pelvis and knees towards your face. Return to the starting position and repeat as many times as you can. 4. Flutter kicks Sometimes the lower abs can get less attention, but flutter kicks can help to address that. This exercise makes sure you strengthen a common area of weakness. Lay flat on the ground with your arms flat and legs stretched out. From here, lift your feet about 6 inches off the ground and hold them there. Once you have done this, start lifting right and left. Lift each leg about a few inches each time. Ensure to maintain good posture and bring each leg to rest before moving to the next. 5. Arms high sit-ups Everyone knows sit-ups, and those who work their abs a lot may be easy by now. This exercise gives your abs a killer workout that they won't forget. It is as easy as starting in a sit-up position. From here, raise your hands straight up to the sky, flatten your hands, and reach for the sky. Now perform a sit-up as you normally would. This is going to be a lot harder than a standard sit-up so make sure your form is correct to achieve maximum results. </s>

<s>[INST] Rewrite this Reddit post about the movie "Moonstruck" as a dramatic poem. I saw Moonstruck (1987) and god it was one of the most comforting movies ever.

So I finally bought it after a couple months of deliberating. Finding out Nicolas Cage was in this film was the final nail for me to buy this film. Instantly I knew that I was not gonna regret this purchase. The whole closeness of the Italian family, Cher’s stunning performance and looks, and Nicolas Cage acting bat shit before he was known for bat shit crazy roles. It’s a very intimate and cozy film, especially on a cold October night under some blankets with a date. Yes, some of the characters themselves are doing immoral things, but you can’t help but love them and just how hilariously dramatic they are. It’s pretty romantic and offers some deep thoughts about love and relationships. For date night, a cozy film during cold season, or even a unique romantic comedy that isn’t too syrupy or goofy like usual rom/coma, Moonstruck is a win. I’m really happy Moonstruck is part of my collection.

She brought out a small piece of glass and showed it to the class. Everyone agreed that it looked clean. Then, she got out a cool science tool called a "microscope." The teacher said it made very tiny things bigger so people could see them. She put the piece of glass on the microscope. One by one, the students got to look into it.

They were tiny things that were alive that were so small you couldn't see them without a microscope. She said that's what made Ginella's eye hurt.

<s>[INST] Rewrite the plot of this Seinfeld TV show episode as bullet points. When Jerry leaves an upscale clothing store without making a purchase, he feels guilty and claims he will return with a friend to get their opinion of a jacket he doesn't like. The sales clerk Craig Stewart, who sports a long ponytail, looks skeptical. Jerry returns with Elaine just to prove Craig wrong. Craig flirts with Elaine in front of Jerry, making him feel emasculated. Moreover, Elaine strongly endorses the jacket, thereby pressuring Jerry into buying it. Craig promises Elaine a discount on a Nicole Miller dress, but claims it sold out immediately after and is being restocked. George and Kramer begin parking at a discount parking lot. After picking up his car George discovers a condom inside and suspects prostitutes are servicing their clients inside the cars. The lot loses Kramer's keys, forcing him to use another customer's Mary Kay pink Cadillac Eldorado and sleep in Jerry's apartment. George questions the prostitutes hanging around. He offers one of them money for information, but is caught by Susan. Susan has no trouble believing him when he explains, to his frustration since he was hoping she might call off their wedding due to his seeming infidelity. The lot refuses to refund George's money, denying the prostitution allegations, and says George cannot reclaim his car for several days because it is parked in the back. George and Susan have a houseguest, Susan's friend Ethan, who is the "Wig Master" for a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Ethan's co-worker, the show's costume designer, lends Kramer the technicolor dreamcoat. Wearing the coat, a woman's large hat blown off by the wind, and a silver-handled walking stick Elaine gave him after writing about it for the Peterman catalogue, Kramer goes to pick up the Cadillac. He finds a prostitute servicing a client in the car. When he ejects them, she starts attacking him over the fee he has cost her. Police arrive and assume Kramer to be a pimp due to his attire and fight with a prostitute, and arrest him. Fuming about Craig's slight toward him, Jerry unsuccessfully attempts to return his jacket in order to deny Craig the sales commission. When Jerry is lunching with Ethan, a friend of Ethan's stops by and sets up a get-together with him; Jerry demands to know why he assumed he and Ethan were not together. Jerry suspects Craig is just promising the discount on the dress in order to keep seeing Elaine. She doesn't believe it, especially when Craig promises the same discount to a male friend. When Elaine is over at Craig's apartment, his manager calls; she confirms from him that the dress has been in stock all along. In revenge, Elaine cuts off Craig's ponytail to sell for wig hair.

<s>[INST] I want a story opening for an anime about a grandmother telling her granddaughter about her days as a cross-universal warrior.

Despite the fuss, Kuriyama was happy to have the help. More than anything, she was happy to have her family with her. One day, while her granddaughter was helping her clean, she came across an old box in the back of a closet. Before she could open it, Kuriyama yelled, "Don't you dare open that box!" She dashed over and slapped her granddaughter's wrist, "don't you know better than to go through someone else's things?" Her granddaughter apologized but couldn't help but ask what was in the box. Kuriyama set the box on the kitchen table and sighed as she eased herself into her chair. "It's a long story. I'd forgotten I had this box, even. I'm not sure if you'll believe me, though." "I don't think you'd lie to me, Gran." Kuriyama opened the box to reveal several vials. Only two still had anything left in them. She pulled one out and held it up to the light, smiling fondly, "these two are all I have left of my adventures with your grandfather." Kuriyama then launched into a tale about how she'd once been involved in a battle across universes. It was a tale of strife, desperation, determination, and love. Her granddaughter listened carefully to the whole story. "It all started when I was about your age. I had just graduated high school..." </s>

<s>[INST] Write a summary for the following introduction paragraphs: Admit it. You’ve thought about writing an ebook. In fact, you’ve already imagined the front cover. You can see the main title and, underneath, your name. And when you picture it, you feel a ripple of pride. An ebook would be a big step up for you as a writer. Because while blog posts and freelance writing gigs are great ways to express your ideas and earn a side income, you can’t help feeling they’re a little, well, fleeting. Lightweight even. But your own ebook? That’s more substantial. It’s taken more seriously. It has more gravitas. And having an ebook with your name on the front transforms you from a mere writer into that more impressive beast — an author. But how do you become an ebook author without falling victim to the same mistakes that sabotage the attempts of so many other writers and bloggers? On the surface, ebook writing seems relatively easy. Lots of writers seem to be doing it, so how hard can it be? But in reality, most ebooks that see the light of day are horrible. Embarrassingly bad. That’s because your average ebook writer doesn’t have a clue how to write an ebook.

<s>[INST] Here's text from an article. Categorize the topic of the article. Category options: Comedy, Politics, Science, Health State legislatures are wrestling with how much to restrict or expand abortion access after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year. Here is a snapshot of pending and passed legislation seeking to restrict or protect access in 2023, including details on a law that took effect in North Dakota this week broadly banning abortion and the defeat of abortion ban bills in South Carolina and Nebraska. RESTRICTIONS FLORIDA: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a six-week abortion ban this month, which includes exceptions for rape, incest, human trafficking and the life and health of the mother. It cannot take effect until the state Supreme Court rules on the constitutionality of the 15-week ban that is currently in place. IDAHO: Idaho Governor Brad Little signed a bill this month that makes it illegal to help a minor cross state lines to get an abortion without the permission of a parent or guardian. Offenders would face two to five years in prison. The Republican-led state is currently enforcing a near-total abortion ban, with exceptions for rape, incest or the life of the mother. MONTANA: The Republican-led legislature has passed a bill seeking to overturn a 1999 state Supreme Court ruling that found that the state constitution protected a right to abortion. That ruling has prevented lawmakers in the conservative state from restricting abortion further than the current 24-week limit. The bill awaits Republican Governor Greg Gianforte's signature. The full legislature has also passed a bill that would ban most second trimester abortions by prohibiting a common surgical procedure. If signed by the governor, it would take effect immediately. Planned Parenthood has sued to block the measure. NEBRASKA: Lawmakers in Nebraska's 50-seat unicameral legislature failed to pass a six-week abortion ban on Thursday, after the chamber did not amass enough votes to end debate on the bill. Much of the debate centered on one member's proposed amendment to allow abortions up to 12 weeks. Abortion is currently legal in the state up to 22 weeks. NORTH CAROLINA: House Republicans have introduced a bill to ban abortion from conception, except to preserve the life or health of the mother. Abortion is currently legal up to 20 weeks. If it passes the legislature, the bill would likely be vetoed by the Democratic governor and would need Democratic lawmakers' backing to override the veto. NORTH DAKOTA: North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum on Monday signed a bill that bans abortion with exceptions for cases where the mother's life or health are at serious risk. The law, which took immediate effect, also makes exceptions for rape and incest victims, but only during the first six weeks of pregnancy. The measure passed despite the state Supreme Court's decision last month not to revive a previous version of the near-total ban, after finding that the state constitution protects abortion rights in some cases. SOUTH CAROLINA: The Republican-led House of Representatives is considering a six-week abortion ban that the Senate has passed, despite the fact that the state Supreme Court recently struck down a six-week abortion ban in a 3-2 vote. The Senate tabled discussion of a near-total abortion ban on Thursday after it had been approved by the House. The chamber voted to delay considering the bill until the next legislative session in January 2024, after a two-day filibuster by the five women senators who felt it was too severe. TEXAS: While abortion is completely banned with very limited exceptions in Texas, Republican state representatives have introduced legislation that would compel internet providers to block websites that supply abortion pills or provide information on how to obtain an abortion. UTAH: Republican Governor Spencer Cox in March signed legislation to prohibit the licensing of abortion clinics, which abortion rights advocates say would effectively eliminate access in the state. Abortion is currently banned after 18 weeks in Utah. WYOMING: The Republican-led state legislature passed a bill in March banning the use or prescription of medication abortion pills, and Republican Governor Mark Gordon signed it into law. It is due to take effect July 1. Abortion is currently legal until viability, about 24 weeks, while a state court is reviewing a challenge to a near-total "trigger" ban, which was took effect when Roe v. Wade was overturned. PROTECTIONS CALIFORNIA: A Democratic state senator has introduced a bill to protect doctors who prescribe medication abortion pills to patients in other states. MICHIGAN: Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed legislation this month repealing a 1931 bill that criminalized abortion. ILLINOIS: Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker in January signed a law protecting abortion providers and out-of-state patients from legal attacks waged by other states. MINNESOTA: Democratic Governor Tim Walz in January signed legislation passed by the Minnesota legislature's new Democratic majority that codifies abortion rights in state law, as well as a right to contraception and fertility treatment. The Democratic-led House passed a bill to shield abortion providers and patients from other states' legal attacks, and the Senate is considering it. OHIO: Abortion rights supporters are trying to collect enough signatures to put a constitutional amendment on the November 2023 ballot that would assert a right to abortion. Abortion is currently legal up to 22 weeks. [/INST] The topic of the article is politics. </s>
<s>[INST] Change the characters to girls. Change Horse to Philippa and Max to Rachie So Saturday morning we met at the High School subway station. I got there first. Stuffed in my dad’s army surplus knapsack was a blanket, a pillow, a paper bag with three white-bread peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches – that is, lunch, supper, and Sunday breakfast. My pockets were full of stick matches. I had an old flashlight, and since I lived by the Scout’s motto – Be Prepared – I had brought along an umbrella. Finally, being a serious reader, I had the latest Marvel Family comics. Horse arrived next, his arms barely managing to hold on to a mattress that seemed twice his size. As for food, he had four cans of beans jammed into his pockets. Max came last. He was lugging a new knapsack that contained a cast-iron frying pan, a packet of hot dogs, and a box of saltine crackers – plus two bottles. One bottle was mustard, the other, celery soda. He also had a bag of Tootsie Rolls and a shiny hatchet. “To build a lean-to,” he explained. Max’s prize possession however was an official Scout compass. “It’s really swell,” he told us, “You can’t ever get lost with it. Got it at the Scout store.” “I hate that place,” Horse informed us. “It’s all new. Nothing real.” “This compass is real,” Max retorted. “Points north all the time. You can get cheaper ones, but they all point all different directions.” “What’s so great about the north?” Horse said. “That’s always the way to go,” Max insisted. “Says who?” I demanded. “Mr. Brenkman, dummy.” Horse cried. “Anyway, there’s always an arrow on maps pointing the way north.” “Cowboys live out west,” I reminded them. They didn’t care. On the subway platform, we realized we did not know which station we were heading for. To find out, we studied the system map, which looked like a noodle factory hit by a bomb. The place we wanted to go (north) was at the top of the map, so I had to hoist Horse onto my shoulders for a closer look. Since he refused to let go of his mattress – or the tin cans in his pockets – it wasn’t easy. I asked him- in a kindly fashion – to put the mattress down. No sooner did he find the station – 168th Street – than our train arrived. We rushed on, only to have Horse scream, “My mattress!” He had left it on the platform. Just before the doors shut, he and I leaped off. Max, however, remained on the train. Helplessly, we watched as his horror-stricken face slid away from us. “Wait at the next station!” I bellowed. “Don’t move!” The next train took forever to come. Then it took even longer to get to the next stop. There was Max. All around him – like fake snow in a glass ball – were crumbs. He’d been so nervous he had eaten all his crackers. “Didn’t that make you thirsty?” “I drank my soda.” I noticed streaks down his cheeks. Horse noticed them too. “You been crying?” he asked. Naw,” Max said. “There was this water dripping from the tunnel roof. But, you said don’t move, right? Well, I was just being obedient.” By the time we got on the next train – with all our possessions – we had been traveling for an hour. But we had managed to go only one stop. During the ride, I got hungry. I pulled out one of my sandwiches. With the jelly soaked through the bread, it looked like a limp scab. Horse, envious, complained he was getting hungry. “Eat some of your canned beans,” I suggested. He got out one can without ripping his pocket too badly. Then his face took on a mournful look. What’s the matter?” I asked. Forgot to bring a can opener.” Max said, “In the old days, people opened cans with their teeth.” “You saying I don’t know history?” Always kind, I plopped half my sandwich into Horse’s hand. He squashed it into his mouth and was quiet for the next fifteen minutes. It proved something I’d always believed: The best way to stop arguments is to get people to eat peanut butter sandwiches. They can’t talk. Then we became so absorbed in our Marvel Family comics we missed our station. We got to it only by coming back the other way. When we reached street level, the sky was dark. [/INST] So on Saturday morning, we all gathered at the High School subway station. Being the early bird, I arrived first. In my dad's army surplus knapsack, I had packed a cozy blanket, a soft pillow, and a paper bag filled with three delicious white-bread peanut butter and jelly sandwiches—a perfect combination for lunch, supper, and Sunday breakfast. My pockets were filled with stick matches, and of course, I carried an old flashlight. Being a firm believer in the Scout's motto, "Be Prepared," I had even brought along an umbrella. And being an avid reader, I made sure to bring the latest edition of the Marvel Family comics. Philippa arrived next, struggling to maintain her grip on a mattress that seemed twice her size. As for food, she had ingeniously managed to cram four cans of beans into her pockets. Rachie came last, carrying a brand-new knapsack that contained a sturdy cast-iron frying pan, a packet of hot dogs, a box of saltine crackers, and two bottles—one filled with mustard and the other with celery soda. She also proudly displayed a bag of Tootsie Rolls and a shiny hatchet, explaining that it would come in handy for building a lean-to. However, her most prized possession was an official Scout compass. Excitedly, she shared, "This compass is absolutely amazing. It never fails to point north, no matter what. I got it at the Scout store." "I despise that place," Philippa grumbled. "It's all new, nothing authentic." "But this compass is real," Rachie insisted. "It always points north. Sure, you can find cheaper ones, but they tend to point in all different directions." "What's so great about the north?" Philippa questioned. "That's always the way to go," Rachie declared. "Says who?" I challenged. "Mr. Brenkman, you silly. Besides, there's always an arrow on maps pointing the way north." "But cowgirls live out west," I reminded them, although they seemed unfazed by my remark. On the subway platform, we suddenly realized that we didn't know which station we were supposed to head to. To figure it out, we studied the system map, which resembled a tangled mess of noodles. The desired destination (north) was at the top of the map, so I hoisted Philippa onto my shoulders for a closer look. It wasn't easy since she stubbornly clung to her mattress and the tin cans in her pockets. In the kindest way possible, I asked her to set the mattress down. Just as she located the station—168th Street—our train arrived. We hurriedly boarded, but to our horror, Philippa screamed, "My mattress!" She had left it behind on the platform. With split-second timing, she and I leaped off just before the doors closed. Unfortunately, Rachie remained on the train, and we helplessly watched her panic-stricken face vanish into the distance. "Wait at the next station!" I shouted. "Don't move!" The next train seemed to take an eternity to arrive. And once it finally did, it took even longer to reach the next stop. There was Rachie, surrounded by crumbs that resembled fake snow in a glass ball. She had been so nervous that she ate all her crackers. "Didn't that make you thirsty?" I asked. "I drank my soda," Rachie replied. I noticed streaks on her cheeks, and Philippa observed them too. "Have you been crying?" Philippa inquired. "Nah," Rachie responded. "There was water dripping from the tunnel roof. But you said not to move, right? Well, I was just being obedient." By the time we boarded the next train, lugging all our belongings, we had been traveling for an hour, yet we had only managed to cover one stop. As we rode, my stomach growled, signaling hunger. I reached into my bag and pulled out one of my sandwiches. The jelly had soaked through the bread, giving it a rather unappetizing appearance, resembling a limp scab. Philippa, feeling envious, complained that she was also getting hungry. "Why don't you eat some of your canned beans?" I suggested. She fumbled and managed to retrieve one can without tearing her pocket too badly. However, a mournful expression appeared on her face. "What's the matter?" I asked curiously. "I forgot to bring a can opener," Philippa admitted, disappointment evident in her voice. Rachie chimed in, "You know, in the old days, people used to open cans with their teeth." "Are you suggesting that I don't know history?" Philippa retorted defensively. Always one to be kind, I handed Philippa half of my sandwich. She gratefully accepted it and squished it into her mouth, silencing her hunger for the next fifteen minutes. It proved something I had always believed: the best way to quell arguments is to offer people peanut butter sandwiches. They simply can't argue with their mouths full. Lost in the captivating world of the Marvel Family comics, we became so engrossed that we missed our intended station. We had to backtrack and take the train in the opposite direction to finally reach our destination.

<s>[INST] My wife and I are looking for a movie to watch tonight with our two young children. They are six and eight years old. We'd like a suitable movie that we'd all enjoy that's from the 1980s or 90s. Can you help me come up with a few ideas? Make sure to give a brief description of each film so I can see if it appeals to me. [/INST] Certainly, I can help with that. Here are a few movie suggestions that might be suitable for you and your family based on the criteria you've provided: 1. The Goonies (1985). This classic 80s adventure film is about a group of kids who find an old pirate map in an attic that leads them on an exciting adventure to find hidden treasure. 2. The Parent Trap (1998). This fun 90s film stars Lindsay Lohan as twins who are separated as kids but accidentally reunite at summer camp. Once they realize what's happened, they decide to switch with one another and go home with the unknown parent to get answers to their questions and ultimately reunite their estranged family. 3. Matilda (1996). This 1996 film stars Mara Wilson as Matilda Wormwood, a child genius with few friends who is neglected by her family. Helped by her love of books and a sympathetic teacher, Mrs. Honey, Matilda develops special powers that surprise her family and delight the audience at the same time. 4. Honey I Shrunk The Kids (1989). This classic 1980s family comedy follows a scientist played by Rick Moranis who accidentally shrinks his four children with a shrink ray he thought didn't work. When he throws the device out, his quarter-of-an-inch-sized kids have to navigate their way through the yard and back to the house while combatting now-dangerous obstacles like sprinkler systems and stampedes of ants. 5. Lion King (1994). This coming-of-age animated classic has great songs and a powerful story about a young lion named Simba who must overcome the tragic loss of his father, Mufasa, and learn to inherit his birthright. I hope that at least one of these options is suitable for your family. Enjoy your movie night! </s>

<s>[INST] How did the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century transform societies and pave the way for the modern world? [/INST] The Industrial Revolution, which began in the late 18th century and accelerated throughout the 19th century, was a period of unprecedented change that fundamentally transformed societies in numerous ways. Its effects were so profound that they laid the foundations for the modern world as we know it. At the heart of the Industrial Revolution was a series of technological innovations that led to dramatic increases in manufacturing productivity. Key developments included the invention of the steam engine, the spinning jenny, the power loom, and the process of making cheap steel. These inventions revolutionized industries such as textiles, transportation, and manufacturing, leading to the shift from agrarian and handcraft economies to ones dominated by industry and machine manufacturing. </s>
<s>[INST] Can you tell me some creative ways to exercise my brain? I want to do it with the help of mental challenges. But don’t suggest anything that involves using any brain training apps or games. [/INST] Here are some intensive and fun mental workouts to exercise your brain without using apps and games: 1. Expand Your Lexical Resources: A promising way to give your brain a workout is to learn new words. Reading books, articles, or even browsing online can expose you to new vocabulary that you can integrate into your everyday speech. 2. Dancing: Dancing is a fun way to exercise your body and your brain. By memorizing dance steps and coordinating movements, you challenge your brain's ability to learn and recall new motor skills. 3. Play Mind Games with a Friend: Engage in thought-provoking discussions or engage in debates with a friend to build your critical thinking skills. Listening to another person's perspective challenges your mind to analyze new information and think from different viewpoints. 4. Unleash Your Linguistic Prowess: Learning a new language broadens your cultural horizons and challenges your brain to absorb and recall unfamiliar words and grammar rules. You can learn from a tutor or self-study. 5. Flow with Tai Chi: Tai Chi is the perfect activity for you if you want to give your brain an excellent workout while also promoting relaxation. This ancient Chinese practice involves precise and deliberate movements that improve balance, coordination, and mindfulness by engaging your brain and body simultaneously. It's also a low-impact activity that's accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels. 6. Teach with Passion: Have you ever thought of becoming a teacher? While you don't have to become a professional educator, teaching someone else a new skill gives your brain a good workout. It requires you to understand the material, and it necessitates patience, creativity, and communication skills, all of which are beneficial to your cognitive abilities. 3. Sense it All: Did you know that using all of your senses regularly can help keep your brain sharp? Whether it's tasting new cuisine, listening to an unfamiliar musical genre, or smelling new fragrances, experiences that stimulate multiple senses can help create new neural pathways in your brain. It is also an exciting way to broaden your horizons by discovering new sensory experiences. </s>

<s>[INST] Extract the wartime technologies that Tom Swift described into a numbered list. Margaret Cavendish may have published the very first science fiction novel in 1666, The Blazing World. It features animal-human hybrids, an empress of a parallel planet, and time and space travel, at a time when such speculation was still considered heretical. Inspiration for sci-fi writers often stemmed from their fascination with science and space exploration. Incredibly, some authors were spot-on forecasted technologies way before their time, particularly Jules Verne. He offered space travel, tunneling through the earth's core, and deep sea exploration. Sci-fi provides a welcome form of escapism, too. During World War I, the Tom Swift series described wartime technologies that were desperately needed in real-life (aerial warships, surveillance cameras, and tanks that could cross trenches). These stories appealed to readers' optimism in the midst of loss. Dystopian Fiction has regained popularity during these times of uncertainty in political, technological, global economic, and human rights infringements. The Handmaid's Tale and 1984 are prime examples due to recent changes in governmental leadership and debates about global immigration policies. As long as people dare to dream about the future, science fiction will remain popular. [/INST] 1. Aerial Warships 2. Surveillance cameras 3. Tanks that could cross trenches </s>
<s>[INST] Classify this review as either positive or negative and explain your response: Last year, I committed to reading one memoir every month and have since enjoyed some fascinating, real-life stories, some of the celebrity kind, but mostly about ordinary people and their extraordinary experiences. This account by Michelle Zauner disappointingly falls into neither category. In terms of “memoir,” it mostly revolves around the death of her mother from colon cancer, with some references to the challenges of being biracial and connecting with her Korean roots. By far the greatest part of the book, however, is taken up by descriptions of Korean food: buying the ingredients, preparing and cooking them, and then eating the final dishes. Whole pages devoted to gushing prose about this or that culinary experience. Okay, so food was the thing that connected Zauner to her mother. But, I got that message within the first two chapters. I didn’t need it rammed down my throat ad nauseum. About half way through, I started skipping the “foodie” pages completely. Zauner can write; there’s no doubt about that. The chapters describing her mother’s slow decline and death are visceral and poignant. But, the book as a whole feels terribly self-indulgent. There is nothing in it that is particularly remarkable; no profound insights or lessons. My feeling is that Zauner wrote this “memoir” as a form of personal catharsis. And if she achieved this, then I’m happy for her. For me, though, the hype is totally overblown. Except, perhaps, if you’re keen to know how to cook authentic Korean food. Thanks for reading my review. I hope you found it helpful. You can find more candid book reviews on my Amazon profile page. [/INST] This is a negative review. The reviewer is disappointed with Michelle Zauner's memoir, finding it lacking in fascinating stories and celebrity experiences. They found the excessive focus on her mother's death and descriptions of Korean food to be self-indulgent. To them, it felt like they were using the reader for their own therapy. </s>
<s>[INST] Classify this sentence as either positive, neutral, or negative, and why?

[/INST] The sentence can be classified as negative. This is because it describes a dangerous situation with the presence of wild men who engage in plundering and killing.
