flan.2467537 | Lindsay Dee Lohan (born July 2, 1986) is an American actress, businesswoman, fashion designer and singer. Born and raised in New York, Lohan was signed to Ford Models as a child. Having appeared as a regular on Another World at age 10, her breakthrough came in Disney Pictures' The Parent Trap (1998).
In July 2007, Lohan's home was burgled by the Bling Ring, a group of fashion-motivated burglars whose ringleader considered Lohan to be their ultimate conquest. Video surveillance of the burglary recorded at Lohan's home played a large role in breaking the case. During the 2008 US presidential campaign, Lohan offered her services to Barack Obama's Democratic election effort, but was declined. In a blog post, Lohan criticized the media and then Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin for not focusing on policy, and attacked Palin's positions on homosexuality, birth control and abortion. Lohan had previously expressed an interest in going to Iraq, during the Iraq War in 2006, on a USO tour with Hillary Clinton. In the 2012 presidential election, Lohan supported Republican candidate Mitt Romney, something that prompted ABC News to call her a "political turncoat". Only weeks later, she tweeted words supportive of Obama. Speaking about her sexual orientation, Lohan said that she was not a lesbian. When asked if she was bisexual in 2008, she responded "Maybe. Yeah," adding, "I don't want to classify myself." However, in a 2013 interview, she said, "I know I'm straight. I have made out with girls before, and I had a relationship with a girl. ... I think I was looking for something different." In April 2016, Lohan was studying Islam and considered converting. In October 2017, Lohan received scrutiny for defending Harvey Weinstein, whom she worked with on several films, on Instagram and saying that his wife Georgina Chapman should stay with him. Weinstein had been accused of sexual harassment and sexual assault.
Using a quote from the above article, answer the following question: What are some controversys Lohan has been involved with? | Some controversies Lohan has been involved with include her political affiliations, such as supporting both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney in different instances, her comments on sexual orientation, defending Harvey Weinstein against sexual harassment and sexual assault allegations, and her interest in converting to Islam. One quote that highlights these controversies is: "In the 2012 presidential election, Lohan supported Republican candidate Mitt Romney, something that prompted ABC News to call her a 'political turncoat'. Only weeks later, she tweeted words supportive of Obama." | You are an AI assistant. User will you give you a task. Your goal is to complete the task as faithfully as you can.

flan.520390 | Answer the question
Frank needs to move a box by sliding it across the floor. Which two factors will most strongly affect how hard Frank needs to push the box? | Alright, little buddy! Imagine Frank is trying to slide a big toy box across the floor. There are two main things that make it harder or easier for him to push the box:
1. Weight of the box: If the box is very heavy, like when it's full of toys, it's harder for Frank to push. But if the box is lighter, with just a few toys, it's easier for him to push.
2. Slipperiness of the floor: If the floor is very smooth and slippery, like an ice rink, the box will slide easily, and Frank won't need to push too hard. But if the floor is rough or sticky, like a rug, it's harder for Frank to push the box.
So, the weight of the box and the slipperiness of the floor are the two factors that most affect how hard Frank needs to push the box. | You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation. Think like you are answering to a five year old. |
cot.84514 | Michael has $42. Michael gives away half the money to his brother. His brother then buys 3 dollars worth of candy. If his brother has $35 left, how much money, in dollars, did his brother have at first? Let's answer step by step: | Step 1: Determine how much money Michael gave to his brother.
Michael had $42 and gave away half of it, so we need to find half of $42.
$42 ÷ 2 = $21
So, Michael gave his brother $21.
Step 2: Determine how much money his brother had after receiving the money from Michael.
His brother bought $3 worth of candy after receiving the $21 from Michael. To find out how much money he had after buying the candy, we'll subtract $3 from $21.
$21 - $3 = $18
So, after buying the candy, his brother had $18.
Step 3: Determine how much money his brother had at first.
Since his brother now has $35 left, and he had $18 after buying the candy, we need to find out how much his brother had initially before receiving money from Michael and buying the candy. We will add this initial amount to the $18 to get $35.
Initial amount + $18 = $35
To find the initial amount, we'll subtract $18 from $35.
$35 - $18 = $17
Therefore, his brother initially had $17. | You are an AI assistant that helps people find information. Provide a detailed answer so user don’t need to search outside to understand the answer. |
t0.1166846 | Question: "What did Chopin do in order to master his style?" Context: "In 1841, Léon Escudier wrote of a recital given by Chopin that year, "One may say that Chopin is the creator of a school of piano and a school of composition. In truth, nothing equals the lightness, the sweetness with which the composer preludes on the piano; moreover nothing may be compared to his works full of originality, distinction and grace." Chopin refused to conform to a standard method of playing and believed that there was no set technique for playing well. His style was based extensively on his use of very independent finger technique. In his Projet de méthode he wrote: "Everything is a matter of knowing good fingering ... we need no less to use the rest of the hand, the wrist, the forearm and the upper arm." He further stated: "One needs only to study a certain position of the hand in relation to the keys to obtain with ease the most beautiful quality of sound, to know how to play short notes and long notes, and [to attain] unlimited dexterity." The consequences of this approach to technique in Chopin's music include the frequent use of the entire range of the keyboard, passages in double octaves and other chord groupings, swiftly repeated notes, the use of grace notes, and the use of contrasting rhythms (four against three, for example) between the hands." Answer:
Answer: | To master his style, Chopin focused on several key elements in his piano playing and composition:
1. Developing an independent finger technique: Chopin believed that there was no set technique for playing well and emphasized the importance of good fingering. This allowed him to achieve exceptional control, dexterity, and expression in his music.
2. Utilizing the full range of hand, wrist, and arm motions: In his Projet de méthode, Chopin explained that it was essential to understand how to use not just the fingers, but also the rest of the hand, wrist, forearm, and upper arm. This holistic approach to piano playing enabled him to create a unique and fluid sound quality.
3. Exploring the entire range of the keyboard: Chopin's compositions often include passages that require the pianist to cover a wide range of the instrument, which adds a depth and richness to his music.
4. Embracing unconventional techniques: Chopin's music often features passages with double octaves, chord groupings, swiftly repeated notes, and grace notes. These techniques, while challenging, contribute to the distinctiveness of his compositions.
5. Experimenting with contrasting rhythms: Chopin was known for layering contrasting rhythms between the hands, such as playing four against three. This rhythmic complexity created a captivating texture in his music.
In summary, Chopin mastered his unique style through focusing on independent finger technique, utilizing the full range of hand and arm motions, exploring the entire keyboard, embracing unconventional techniques, and experimenting with contrasting rhythms. This approach led to the creation of a distinct piano-playing and compositional style that set him apart from his contemporaries. | You are an AI assistant. User will you give you a task.

cot.146073 | Premise: "Seven people in red jumpsuits are performing on a stage."
Hypothesis: "Seven people with parachutes jump out of the plane."
Do we know that the hypothesis entailed by the premise? A step-by-step solution is:
| No, the hypothesis is not entailed by the premise. Here's a step-by-step explanation:
1. Premise: "Seven people in red jumpsuits are performing on a stage."
This premise provides information about a group of seven people wearing red jumpsuits. They are engaged in a performance, and their location is on a stage. Therefore, the context of this premise revolves around a live performance happening in a controlled environment like a theater or a concert venue.
2. Hypothesis: "Seven people with parachutes jump out of the plane."
This hypothesis describes a scenario in which seven people are involved in a skydiving activity. They are jumping out of a plane and using parachutes to land safely. The context of this hypothesis is an outdoor, adrenaline-inducing, and extreme sport activity. It is assumed they wear jumpsuits but the color is not mentioned.
3. Comparing the premise and hypothesis:
When we compare the provided premise and hypothesis, we can see there are distinct differences in their context and environment:
a. Context: The premise describes a performance scenario, whereas the hypothesis depicts an extreme sport activity.
b. Environment: The premise occurs in an indoor and controlled environment (on a stage), while the hypothesis is set outdoors and involves jumping out of a moving plane.
4. Conclusion:
Based on the differing contexts and environments described in the premise and the hypothesis, it is clear that the hypothesis is not entailed by the premise. The premise does not contain any information that would lead us to believe that the individuals in red jumpsuits are involved in skydiving activities, nor does it suggest a link between the stage performance and jumping out of a plane. | You are an AI assistant that helps people find information.

flan.1702052 | The elimination of wolves from Yellowstone National Park had profound impacts on the trophic pyramid. Without predation, herbivores began to over-graze many woody browse species, affecting the area's plant populations. In addition, wolves often kept animals from grazing in riparian areas, which protected beavers from having their food sources encroached upon. The removal of wolves had a direct effect on beaver populations, as their habitat became territory for grazing. Furthermore, predation keeps hydrological features such as creeks and streams in normal working order. Increased browsing on willows and conifers along Blacktail Creek due to a lack of predation caused channel incision because they helped slow the water down and hold the soil in place.
What changes happened when herbivores were eliminated in Yellowstone? (If the question is unanswerable, say "unanswerable") | The question provided doesn't exactly specify the herbivores being eliminated in Yellowstone but assumes the scenario of their complete elimination. Here's the analysis based on this assumption:
If herbivores were eliminated in Yellowstone National Park, various changes would likely occur in the ecosystem, affecting multiple trophic levels and ecological processes.
1. Plant population growth: With the absence of herbivores, there would be a reduction in the grazing pressure on plant species. This would potentially cause an increase in the population of plant species, including woody browse species, that were previously over-grazed by herbivores.
2. Increase in predator starvation: The predatory animals that relied on herbivores as a primary food source, such as wolves, would face a significant decline in their food availability. This could lead to a reduction in the predator population due to starvation, unavailability of prey, and increased competition for limited resources.
3. Riparian area recovery: In the absence of herbivores, the browsing pressure on vegetation near water sources (riparian areas) would reduce, allowing these areas to recover. This could potentially benefit species like beavers, which rely on riparian vegetation for their food and habitat.
4. Impact on hydrological features: The elimination of herbivores could help maintain healthy hydrological features such as creeks and streams. As overgrazing on willows and conifers would reduce, these plants could continue to slow down water flow and hold the soil in place, preventing channel incision and maintaining water quality.
5. Biodiversity changes: The complete elimination of herbivores in Yellowstone would disrupt the food chain, causing cascading effects on different species and their interactions. This could eventually lead to changes in species composition and a loss of biodiversity in the park.
However, it is worth noting that the complete elimination of herbivores would have extreme consequences, and an ecosystem functions best when all components, including herbivores, play their roles in maintaining balance within the environment. | You are an AI assistant.

cot.59962 | Student: How many positive integers less than 60 have a reminder 01 when divided by 4?
Options:
(A) 13
(B) 14
(C) 15
(D) 16
(E) 17.
Another student: Let's say, hmmm...
| The given problem requires finding the number of positive integers less than 60 that give a remainder of 1 when divided by 4. We can call these numbers "n".
So, we are solving this equation:
n ≡ 1 (mod 4)
In other words, when n is divided by 4, it leaves a remainder of 1.
Let's list out the smallest numbers that meet this criterion:
- 1 (1 is less than 4, so it can be divided by 4 just once, leaving a remainder of 1)
- 5 (5 divided by 4 is 1 with a remainder of 1)
- 9 (9 divided by 4 is 2 with a remainder of 1)
We can see that these numbers form an arithmetic sequence. The next numbers in this sequence are:
1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29, 33, 37, 41, 45, 49, 53, 57
Since all these numbers are less than 60 and give a remainder of 1 when divided by 4, we have a total of 15 numbers fitting the criteria.

In this article, we delve into the chilling incident, the suspect, and the impact it has had on the community.
The Incident
The alarming event took place at a popular restaurant in Sydney, Australia. A woman and her date were enjoying their meal – blissfully unaware of the tragic circumstances that would soon unfold. As they shared conversation and indulged in their dinner, a man approached the couple and, without warning, began to stab them with a sharp object.
Patrons at the restaurant scrambled for safety, as the assailant continued his violent rampage. Bystanders quickly called emergency services, who promptly arrived at the scene. Although both victims were rushed to a nearby hospital, the woman succumbed to her injuries. The man she was on a date with remained in critical condition, fighting for his life.
The Suspect
Initial investigations revealed that the alleged attacker had no known connections to the victims – adding to the mystifying nature of this sudden and brutal assault. Witnesses reported that the assailant seemed to have no specific motive and appeared to carry out the act senselessly.
Following a thorough investigation, local police identified and arrested the suspect. During the process, it was discovered that the alleged attacker had a history of criminal behavior and a troubled past, though it is unclear if this played a role in the tragic incident.
Authorities have formally charged the man with murder and attempted murder in connection with the heinous crime. He awaits a hearing to determine a trial date and, if convicted, could face a life sentence in prison.
The Community's Response
The shocking nature of the crime has left the residents of Sydney reeling, as they struggle to come to terms with the harrowing event. The restaurant where the attack occurred has since been closed, with a makeshift memorial being created outside to commemorate the victims.
Many have questioned how such a vicious crime could happen in what is considered to be one of the safest cities in the world. This tragic event has spurred local officials to reassess current security measures and devise strategies to reinforce public safety. Additionally, discussions surrounding mental health and criminal rehabilitation have surfaced as residents seek to comprehend the actions of the alleged perpetrator and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
In the wake of the stabbing, the community has banded together with an outpouring of grief and support for the victims and their families. Candlelight vigils have been held, and an online fundraising campaign is underway to assist the surviving victim with his medical expenses and recovery.
Conclusion
The tragic attack in Sydney serves as a chilling reminder that senseless acts of violence can happen anywhere and at any time. The community's response to this horrific and seemingly random act of brutality has been one of solidarity and determination to prevent such incidents in the future. As the case unfolds, the victims and their families remain in the hearts of the community, who are grieving the devastating loss of a life cut tragically short and supporting the recovering victim as he continues to endure this unimaginable ordeal. | You are an AI assistant.

t0.312747 | Q:Rob is an amateur astronomer. Recently, he detected four asteroids, asteroid A, asteroid B, asteroid C, and asteroid D. Asteroid A and asteroid B are of the same mass, but asteroid A is farther from the earth than asteroid B. Asteroid C and asteroid D are at the same distance form the earth, but asteroid C has more mass than asteroid D. He also figured out that all of these asteroids have less mass than earth. In clssical theory, if Rob needs to find out the object with stronger gravitational pull, which one would he choose, earth or asteroid A?
A: | A: In classical theory, the force of gravitational attraction depends on two key factors: the mass of the objects and the distance between them. According to Newton's law of gravitation, the force (F) between two objects is given by the formula:
F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and r is the distance between their centers.
In this case, we are comparing the gravitational pull of Earth (denoted as E) and Asteroid A (denoted as A). Let's assume mE, mA to be their respective masses and rE, rA to be their respective distances from Earth. Since we know that mA is less than mE, numerically, we can write:
mA < mE
We also know that Asteroid A is farther away from Earth than Asteroid B, but we are not given any information about the distance of Asteroids B, C, or D relative to Earth. Therefore, we cannot make a definitive comparison between rA and rE.
Nevertheless, considering that all four asteroids have less mass than the Earth, their overall gravitational pull would be weaker compared to Earth. Hence, between Earth and Asteroid A, Rob would find that Earth has a stronger gravitational pull. | You are an AI assistant.

t0.1517530 | Given the question: Process: - A forest fire starts - The trees and plants burn - The animals lose their homes - If the animals can not escape, they may die from smoke inhalation - The plants that provide food are gone - The animals have little to eat - Question: suppose the forest is more dry than usual happens, how will it affect it is winter season. How does the supposed perturbation influence the second effect mentioned. Answer by more, less or no effect
The answer is: | The second effect mentioned in the question is "The trees and plants burn." If the forest is more dry than usual, even in the winter season, this would have a "more" effect on the second effect mentioned. This increased dryness can lead to an increased rate of burning or spreading of the forest fire. This may make it harder for the trees and plants to recover from the fire after the winter season passes, and it can also increase the intensity of the fire, leading to a more significant impact on the trees and plants. | You are an AI assistant.

flan.762028 | Question 1: How can I use Omegle on my iPod Touch and how is it compared to using Cams.com?
Question 2: How can I use Omegle on my iPod Touch and how is it compared to using Camzap?
Available options: 1. no. 2. yes.
Would the answer to these two questions be the same? | To determine if the answers to both questions would be the same, I will first address each question individually, and then compare the answers.
Question 1:
Step 1: Research how to use Omegle on an iPod Touch.
Omegle can be accessed on an iPod Touch by using a web browser like Safari or Google Chrome, or alternatively, downloading the "Puffin" web browser app, which supports Flash. You would then navigate to Omegle's website and use it just like on a computer.
Step 2: Compare Omegle to Cams.com.
Omegle is a free online chat website that allows users to socialize with others without needing to register. It offers both text and video chat, randomly pairing users in one-on-one chat conversations.
Cams.com is a premium adult webcam site featuring live performances by webcam models and couples, typically featuring nudity and sexual activity. It requires a paid membership to fully access its features, and is geared towards a specific demographic.
Question 2:
Step 1: Since I've already researched how to use Omegle on an iPod Touch, I'll use the same information here.
Omegle can be accessed on an iPod Touch by using a web browser like Safari or Google Chrome, or alternatively, downloading the "Puffin" web browser app, which supports Flash. You would then navigate to Omegle's website and use it just like on a computer.
Step 2: Compare Omegle to Camzap.
Omegle is a free online chat website that allows users to socialize with others without needing to register. It offers both text and video chat, randomly pairing users in one-on-one chat conversations.
Camzap is a similar service to Omegle, as it also allows users to randomly connect with strangers and chat via text or video. Although it used to be free, it now requires a paid registration to access its features.
Comparison:
Both questions involve using Omegle on an iPod Touch and comparing it to another service. The difference lies in the second part of each question, as Question 1 compares Omegle to Cams.com (a premium adult webcam site), while Question 2 compares Omegle to Camzap (a service similar to Omegle that now requires paid registration).
Considering these differences, I would say that the answers to these two questions are not the same, as they involve comparing Omegle to different websites with different features. | You are an AI assistant.

flan.1061108 | Thedisarmamentofallcountriesforthebenefitoftheestablishmentofaninternational,impartial,worldpoliceforce.
Please segment the words. | The disarmament of all countries for the benefit of the establishment of an international, impartial, world police force refers to the idea of dismantling national military forces in favor of creating a global, unbiased policing body. The concept seeks to reduce the risks associated with arms races and conflicts, while promoting cooperation and peace among nations. In this response, I will analyze the advantages and drawbacks of this proposal, as well as the potential challenges and ethical considerations involved.
Advantages of the disarmament of all countries:
1. Reduction in military spending: Disarmament of all countries would lead to a sharp decline in military expenses, freeing up resources that could be directed towards other urgent global needs, such as health, education, and infrastructure development.
2. Decrease in arms proliferation: Complete disarmament would curb the spread of dangerous weapons, diminishing the possibility of an accidental detonation, theft, or misuse of destructive devices. This could ultimately reduce the risk of devastating wars and attacks.
3. Environment protection: The significant reduction in military-related activities would lead to lower levels of environmental pollution and ecological disturbance, helping combat climate change and protect vulnerable ecosystems.
4. Promoting global peace: An international, impartial police force could help address global conflicts and disputes in a more objective and unbiased manner, fostering cooperation and communication among nations.
Drawbacks and challenges of the disarmament of all countries:
1. Loss of national sovereignty: A complete disarmament might infringe upon the sovereignty of nations, as they would be required to relinquish their power to protect themselves and cede this control to an international policing force.
2. Security concerns: The dismantling of national militaries could create a power vacuum, leading to increased vulnerability to external threats from violent non-state actors such as terrorist organizations or rogue states.
3. Implementation challenges: Achieving global disarmament would require unprecedented cooperation and trust among nations, especially in regards to verifying the complete dismantling of weapons arsenals and ensuring compliance with the disarmament process.
4. Potential for abuse of power: The establishment of an international police force presents the risk of the excessive concentration of power, which could lead to potential abuse and corruption within the organization.
Ethical considerations:
1. Equity and fairness: Ensuring that the international police force operates equitably and fairly across all nations would be crucial to maintaining its impartiality and legitimacy.
2. Oversight and accountability: Robust mechanisms for oversight and accountability would need to be put in place to prevent abuses of power and maintain ethical standards within the international police force.
In conclusion, while the disarmament of all countries for the establishment of an impartial world police force offers potential benefits such as decreased military spending and an emphasis on global cooperation, significant challenges remain. The loss of national sovereignty, security concerns, implementation challenges, and ethical considerations must be carefully weighed before pursuing such a radical shift in global military policy. | You are an AI assistant.

cot.6089 | Please answer the following question by reasoning step-by-step. Can we conclude from "A woman is walking and holding a plastic bag." that "A woman is carying bags full of groceries."?
Options:
- yes
- no
- it is not possible to tell. Step-by-step reasoning: | It is not possible to tell. Step-by-step reasoning:
1. The statement "A woman is walking and holding a plastic bag" provides information about a woman with a plastic bag in her hand.
2. The contents of the plastic bag are not specified in the statement.
3. It is possible that the bag contains groceries, but it could also contain other items or be empty.
4. Without more information about what is inside the plastic bag, we cannot definitively conclude that "A woman is carrying bags full of groceries."
Therefore, the answer is "it is not possible to tell." | You are an AI assistant that helps people find information. User will you give you a question. Your task is to answer as faithfully as you can. While answering think step-bystep and justify your answer. |
flan.138388 | Choose your answer: Is "The outer portion formed later in the season is then known as the latewood or summerwood." a good answer to the question "If the opposite of springwood is summerwood, what's the opposite of earlywood?"
Pick your answer from:
1). yes
2). no | 2). no
Although the statement "The outer portion formed later in the season is then known as the latewood or summerwood" is factually correct, it doesn't provide a direct answer to the specific question asked: "If the opposite of springwood is summerwood, what's the opposite of earlywood?"
The terms "springwood" and "summerwood" refer to growth rings in trees produced during different seasons of the year, with springwood being the wood formed early in the year or growing season (during spring) and summerwood being the wood formed later in the year or growing season (during summer). This relationship signifies a seasonal opposition.
On the other hand, "earlywood" and "latewood" refer to different parts of the growth rings in trees, with earlywood being the part of the ring formed earlier in the growing season and latewood being the part of the ring formed later in the growing season. Thus, the more appropriate opposite for "earlywood" would be "latewood", not "summerwood".
So, even though the statement is correct in terms of broader understanding of wood anatomy, it does not address the specific question, which is asking for the direct opposite of "earlywood". The correct answer should instead be something along the lines of: "The opposite of earlywood is latewood." This provides a direct and accurate answer to the question, emphasizing the temporal relationship between earlywood and latewood that parallels the relationship between springwood and summerwood. | You are an AI assistant.

t0.1513926 | Please answer the following question: I am trying to decide whether it's worth it to invest in this film proposal. Can you help me answer a few questions? If you can't, please say "No I can't". Question: Who does Hondo pin to the ground? Movie title: Hondo Movie plot: The story takes place at some point between 1869 and 1877 (It is mentioned in the dialogue that Ulysses S. Grant is President). At a remote ranch in the Arizona Territory, homesteader Angie Lowe (Geraldine Page) and her six-year-old son Johnny (Lee Aaker) come upon a stranger (John Wayne) on foot, carrying only his saddle bags and a rifle. The man tells them only his last name, Lane, and that he was riding dispatch for the US Army Cavalry. He had lost his horse in an encounter with some Indians. Angie tells Lane her ranch hand had quit before he had a chance to break her two horses for riding, so Lane offers to break a horse himself. He asks where her husband is, and she says he is rounding up cattle in the mountains and should return soon. Lane deduces from the neglected ranch that her husband has been away for some time, a fact she confesses is true. When night falls Angie offers to let Lane sleep in her home. Angie sees his rifle is inscribed "Hondo" Lane, whom she knows had killed three men the year before. She attempts to shoot him, but due to the first chamber being empty, Hondo is not hurt. He loads the chamber and tells her to keep it that way. Hondo returns to his Cavalry post, where he meets up with his friend Buffalo Baker (Ward Bond). He reports to his commanding officer that C troop, which was sent to gather and bring in settlers to the north, was killed by Apaches. It is clear to the Major (Paul Fix) that the Apaches are raiding and killing settlers. At the ranch, Angie and Johnny are beset by Apaches, led by Chief Vittoro (Michael Pate) and his main under-chief, Silva (Rodolfo Acosta). Angie is not nervous in their presence as they have never attacked her family before. This time, they begin manhandling Angie. Johnny emerges from the house with the pistol and shoots at Silva. As Silva recovers and approaches him, he throws the pistol at Silva. Vittoro is impressed by Johnny's bravery and makes him an Apache blood brother. Vittoro wonders where Angie's husband is and tells her that unless he...
Answer: | In the movie "Hondo," Hondo Lane, portrayed by John Wayne, pins Silva to the ground. Silva, played by Rodolfo Acosta, is the main under-chief of the Apache tribe led by Chief Vittoro, portrayed by Michael Pate. The incident occurs later in the movie when Hondo returns to Angie Lowe's (Geraldine Page) ranch to protect her and her son Johnny (Lee Aaker).
Initially, Angie and Johnny have a peaceful relationship with the Apaches, as the tribe has never attacked them before. However, the situation takes a turn when the Apache tribe starts raiding and killing settlers. When Chief Vittoro and Silva come to Angie's ranch and begin manhandling her, Johnny, trying to protect his mother, shoots at Silva. Chief Vittoro is impressed by Johnny's bravery and makes him an Apache blood brother.
Aware of the threat the Apaches pose to Angie and Johnny, Hondo takes it upon himself to protect them. Eventually, Hondo faces off against Silva in combat and manages to pin him to the ground. This altercation reflects the ongoing conflict between settlers and the Apache tribe, as well as Hondo's growing attachment to Angie and Johnny.
In conclusion, Hondo pins Silva, the main under-chief of the Apache tribe, to the ground when the situation between the settlers and the Apaches escalates dangerously. This event is significant to the story as it demonstrates Hondo's determination to protect Angie and Johnny, pivotal characters in the film. | You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task.

cot.32833 | Premise: "A group of town folk singing and dancing on a residential hillside."
Hypothesis: "There is a group of guys and girls."
Is the hypothesis entailed by the premise?
Options:
- yes
- it is not possible to tell
- no A step-by-step solution is:
| Step 1: Understanding the premise
The premise states that there is a group of town folk engaged in singing and dancing on a residential hillside. It does not provide any information about the specific participants in the group.
Step 2: Understanding the hypothesis
The hypothesis suggests that there is a group of guys and girls. It is an assumption made on the gender composition of the group.
Step 3: Comparing the premise and the hypothesis
The premise mentions a group of town folk but does not specify the gender of the individuals. The hypothesis assumes that there are both guys and girls in the group.
Step 4: Determining if the hypothesis is entailed by the premise
To determine if the hypothesis is entailed by the premise, we must examine if the information provided in the premise guarantees the truth of the hypothesis. In this case, while it is possible that the group of town folk could include both guys and girls, the premise does not explicitly state this.
Conclusion: It is not possible to tell if the hypothesis is entailed by the premise, as the premise does not provide enough information to confirm the accuracy of the hypothesis. | You are an AI assistant that helps people find information.

flan.1128960 | You both got the point.
Translate to Czech | Oba jste získali bod.
In Czech, the sentence "You both got the point" can be translated to "Oba jste získali bod." In this translation, "oba" means "both," "jste" is a conjugation of the verb "být" (to be) and is used here to indicate you (plural) are, "získali" is the past tense of the verb "získat" (to get or obtain), and "bod" means "point."
The Czech language belongs to the West Slavic branch of the Slavic languages and is the official language of the Czech Republic. It uses the Latin alphabet with several additional characters, such as á, č, ď, é, ě, í, ň, ó, ř, š, ť, ú, ů, ý and ž. These special characters represent unique sounds that are not found in the English language. Czech grammar can be quite complex compared to English, as it has a rich case system with seven cases, three genders and complex conjugation patterns. | You are an AI assistant.

flan.1799680 | Sentence 1: My cat often sleeps on my bed.
Sentence 2: He worked in the coal beds.
Does bed mean the same thing in these two sentences? | No, the word "bed" does not mean the same thing in these two sentences. In both instances, the context in which the word "bed" is used differs and contributes to its distinct meanings.
In Sentence 1, "My cat often sleeps on my bed," the word "bed" refers to a piece of furniture typically used for sleeping or lying down. In this context, it is a place of rest and relaxation commonly found in bedrooms or living spaces. The word "bed" in this sense is a noun that refers to an object that provides comfort and is associated with resting or sleeping.
In Sentence 2, "He worked in the coal beds," the word "bed" has a different meaning. Here, it refers to a layer or deposit of a natural resource, such as coal, that can be found beneath the Earth's surface. Coal beds, also known as coal seams, are geological formations rich in coal and can be mined to extract the natural resource. The term "bed" in this context is still a noun, but it represents a geologic feature rather than a piece of furniture.
In conclusion, although "bed" seems like a simple element, the meaning of the word changes significantly depending on the context in which it is used. While it denotes a resting place in the first sentence, it signifies a layer or deposit of a natural resource in the second sentence. It is essential to comprehend these subtle distinctions to understand the meaning of a word accurately and appreciate its depth. | You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task.

I went to the Dino Diner with my mommy and daddy last week, but I didn't like it very much. The food was not yummy. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich, but it was really cold and not melty on the inside. I didn't want to eat it. My daddy said his burger wasn't good too.
The place was not fun. It was really loud, and I couldn't hear my mommy and daddy talking. The lights were also too bright, and it hurt my eyes a little. The tables were sticky, and I didn't feel very clean.
I wanted to play with the toys they had, but they only had two dinosaurs, and they were broken. That made me sad. The people who worked there didn't smile, and they didn't talk to us very nicely.

flan.776861 | Answer the following question:
where does atp production occur in a cell? | To answer the question about where ATP production occurs in a cell, I'll go through the following steps:
1. Understand the question: The user is asking about the location within a cell where ATP is produced.
2. Research on ATP production: I already have the knowledge that ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy currency of cells and is produced through cellular respiration.
3. Identify relevant cellular structures: ATP production mainly occurs in cellular organelles called mitochondria and to some extent during glycolysis in the cytoplasm.
4. Elaborate on the process: Cellular respiration involves three main stages – glycolysis, the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), and oxidative phosphorylation. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm, while the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation occur within mitochondria.
5. Formulate the answer: ATP production occurs primarily in the mitochondria, through the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation during cellular respiration, and to a lesser extent in the cytoplasm during glycolysis.
So, the final answer is: ATP production occurs mainly in the mitochondria and partly in the cytoplasm of a cell. | You are an AI assistant. User will you give you a task.

t0.768884 | Please answer the following question: I want to test the ability of students to read a passage and answer questions about it. Could you please come up with a good question for the passage "In addition to the classical restaurants, Paris has several other kinds of traditional eating places. The café arrived in Paris in the 17th century, when the beverage was first brought from Turkey, and by the 18th century Parisian cafés were centres of the city's political and cultural life. The Cafe Procope on the Left Bank dates from this period. In the 20th century, the cafés of the Left Bank, especially Café de la Rotonde and Le Dôme Café in Montparnasse and Café de Flore and Les Deux Magots on Boulevard Saint Germain, all still in business, were important meeting places for painters, writers and philosophers. A bistro is a type of eating place loosely defined as a neighbourhood restaurant with a modest decor and prices and a regular clientele and a congenial atmosphere. Its name is said to have come in 1814 from the Russian soldiers who occupied the city; "bistro" means "quickly" in Russian, and they wanted their meals served rapidly so they could get back their encampment. Real bistros are increasingly rare in Paris, due to rising costs, competition from cheaper ethnic restaurants, and different eating habits of Parisian diners. A brasserie originally was a tavern located next to a brewery, which served beer and food at any hour. Beginning with the Paris Exposition of 1867; it became a popular kind of restaurant which featured beer and other beverages served by young women in the national costume associated with the beverage, particular German costumes for beer. Now brasseries, like cafés, serve food and drinks throughout the day."?
Answer: | Question: What factors have contributed to the decline of traditional bistros in Paris?
This question is suitable because it prompts students to read the passage carefully and identify the specific reasons mentioned for the decline of traditional bistros.

cot.39338 | Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. A woman is trying to decide whether it will be quicker to take an airplane or drive herself to a job interview. If she drives herself, the trip will take her 3 hours and 15 minutes. If she takes an airplane, she will first need to drive 10 minutes to the airport, and then wait 20 minutes to board the plane. After that, she will be on the airplane for one-third of the time it would have taken her to drive herself before landing in the destination city. Finally, it will take her an additional 10 minutes to get off the airplane and arrive at her interview site after the plane lands. Given this information, how many minutes faster is it for her to take the airplane? | Step 1: Convert the driving time to minutes.
Driving time: 3 hours and 15 minutes = (3 × 60) + 15 = 180 + 15 = 195 minutes
Step 2: Calculate the time spent on the airplane.
Airplane flying time: 1/3 × driving time = 1/3 × 195 minutes = 65 minutes
Step 3: Calculate the total time spent if she takes the airplane.
Total airplane trip time = 10 minutes (driving to airport) + 20 minutes (waiting to board) + 65 minutes (flying) + 10 minutes (getting off and arriving at interview) = 105 minutes
Step 4: Find the difference between the driving time and the airplane trip time.
Time difference = Driving time - Airplane trip time = 195 minutes - 105 minutes = 90 minutes
Final Answer: It is 90 minutes faster for her to take the airplane. | You are an AI assistant that helps people find information. |
niv.348335 | In this task, you are given two phrases: Head and Tail, separated with <sep>. The Head and the Tail events are short phrases possibly involving participants. The names of specific people have been replaced by generic words (e.g., PersonX, PersonY, PersonZ). PersonX is always the subject of the event. You have to determine whether the Head can be characterized by being or having the Tail or not. Being characterized usually describes entities' general characteristics such as rose is red, or subjective attributes such as thirst is uncomfortable.

flan.1688873 | News article: Senators call for aid, arms for Libyan provisional government
In addition, Lieberman said, "We've got to recognize the opposition provisional government as the legitimate government of Libya and that we ought to give that government certainly humanitarian assistance and military arms, not to go in on the ground ourselves, but give them the wherewithal to fight on behalf of the people of Libya against a really cruel dictator."
Both Lieberman and McCain stopped short of calling for U.S. forces to get involved. McCain added that the United States and allies should make clear that any foreign mercenaries backing Gadhafi in attacking the Libyan people would face a war crimes tribunal.
Both senators, speaking from Cairo, Egypt, said they understood the administration's concern over making statements or taking steps that could endanger American citizens in Libya, but they called the response so far insufficient.
"Get tough," McCain said. "I understand that the security and safety of American citizens is our highest priority. It's not our only priority."
People throughout the Middle East and around the world were " looking to America for leadership, for assistance, for moral support and ratification of the sacrifices they've made in the defense of democracy," McCain said. "America should lead."
Libya descended further into chaos Sunday, with Gadhafi, the nation's leader for more than 40 years, clinging to power in Tripoli after weeks of protests.
On Saturday, President Obama said Gadhafi "has lost the legitimacy to rule and needs to do what is right for his country by leaving now." Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also issued a statement urging the Libyan leader to step down.
In addition, both the United Nations Security Council and the United States are imposing new sanctions that target the Libyan leadership.
Lieberman, who chairs the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, said he understood the administration's initial hesitation in speaking out on the crisis in Libya, but added that a strong message was necessary.
"Frankly I wish we had spoken out much more clearly and early against the Gadhafi regime," Lieberman said, adding "the fact is, now is the time for action, not just statements."
Saying he hoped that new sanctions would be successful, Lieberman added that the United States should be ready to do more.
"I hope that the opposition forces may end all of this by ... taking it all over and ending the Gadhafi regime, but if they don't, we should help them," Lieberman said.
McCain, meanwhile, predicted the end of Gadhafi's rule, with the only question being how many people get killed until that happens.
What are the most important parts of this news article? | This news article is about some senators wanting to help the people of Libya who have a big problem because they are led by a not-so-nice man named Gadhafi. The senators think the United States should help the people who are trying to stop Gadhafi. They believe the U.S. should give them food, medicine, and tools to protect themselves. But, they don't want to send soldiers to Libya.
The senators also want the world to know that anyone helping Gadhafi could get in big trouble for doing bad things. They understand that the United States needs to keep Americans safe, but they also think it's important to help others. | You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation.

flan.2242273 | Is Kuznyechik encryption unsafe?
What is an encryption domain?
Would you say that these questions are the same? | No, the questions you asked are not the same. They are related to different aspects of cryptography. Let's discuss them separately to provide you with a thorough understanding of each aspect.
1. Is Kuznyechik encryption unsafe?
Kuznyechik encryption is a symmetric key block cipher that was introduced as a Russian encryption standard (GOST R 34.12.2015) in 2015, replacing GOST 89.89, an older Russian encryption standard. It features a block size of 128 bits and a key size of 256 bits.
Kuznyechik is designed to provide robust encryption with strong security against various cryptographic attacks. Its security relies on its highly non-linear, invertible, and bijective substitution principle, which leads to increased resistance to various attacks, including differential and linear cryptanalysis. The fundamental operations it employs are SubBytes, ShiftRows, MixColumns, and AddConstants. These operations make it difficult for an adversary to recover the secret key and, subsequently, decrypt the encrypted data.
As of now, there is no public evidence of any major vulnerabilities or weaknesses in Kuznyechik encryption that would classify it as "unsafe" in regard to cryptography. However, it is important to remember that the security of any cryptographic algorithm might be compromised if not implemented or used correctly. Additionally, as cryptographic research continues, new vulnerabilities or weaknesses could be discovered in the future.
2. What is an encryption domain?
An encryption domain, also known as a cryptographic domain or domain of applicability, refers to the set of conditions, constraints, restrictions, and environments in which a particular cryptographic algorithm or system can be effectively and securely implemented and used. The concept of an encryption domain is important because it helps identify the suitable use cases and scenarios for a specific cryptographic algorithm, protocol, or system.
Encryption domains can be defined by various factors, such as the type of data being encrypted, the structure and characteristics of the encryption algorithm, the key management and distribution strategies, hardware and software compatibility, legal and regulatory compliance, and operational requirements.
For instance, some encryption algorithms may be well-suited for securing real-time communication, while others may be more appropriate for securely storing sensitive data. Similarly, certain encryption algorithms might comply with specific regulations, such as being approved for securing specific government or military data, while others could be restricted due to export controls or other legal constraints.
3. Final thoughts on the questions being the same:
The two questions are indeed related to cryptography, but they address distinct topics within the field: the safety of the Kuznyechik encryption algorithm and the concept of encryption domains. While they both pertain to cryptography, they do not cover the same subject matter and therefore are not the same questions. | You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task.

t0.322612 | Please answer the following question: Build a movie plot around this: Who contacted the arms dealer? An assassin
Answer: | Title: The Shadow's Trade
Genre: Action/Thriller
Plot:
In a world of danger and deception, a formidable assassin, codenamed Shadow (played by Charlize Theron), finds herself tangled in a complex web of secrecy and deceit. After years of successfully eliminating high-value targets for various unscrupulous clients, Shadow is determined to identify and destroy the puppet master behind this underground network of criminals.
As the movie begins, she receives a mysterious and encrypted message. A little digging reveals that it's from a renowned arms dealer known as The Broker (played by Idris Elba) whom she has never encountered before. This enigmatic figure has a vast network of connections, providing state-of-the-art weaponry to various criminals and governments.
Shadow's interest is piqued when she realizes that it's a tip-off about an assassination target – a seemingly unassuming journalist uncovering a massive conspiracy involving illegal arms trade, high-level corruption, and extrajudicial killings. With her incredible skillset, she manages to eliminate the target but discovers that it was a trap laid by The Broker to bring her into his deadly game.
With no other choice, Shadow decides to infiltrate The Broker's organization and unravel his true motives. Along the way, she encounters a rogue government agent, Lucas (played by Chris Evans), who has been investigating The Broker for years. Reluctantly, they form an uneasy alliance as they dig deeper into the arms dealer's dark empire.
As they get closer to the truth, they uncover a powerful and sinister syndicate called 'The Red Queen' that operates at the highest echelons of power. The Red Queen has been manipulating global events to strengthen its foothold, using The Broker's services as a means to an end.
With the odds stacked against them, Shadow and Lucas must outsmart their enemies, infiltrate the organization, and expose the secretive and ruthless mastermind pulling the strings. But they soon realize that their lives, and the lives of countless others, hang in the balance.
In the thrilling climax, Shadow faces off against The Broker, who is revealed to be a former rival assassin that she had presumed dead. In an epic battle flooded with flashing lights and heart-pounding suspense, Shadow eliminates The Broker and delivers the evidence to bring down the entire syndicate. In the end, she has avenged her own betrayal and disrupted the global criminal enterprise, securing her place as one of the world's most feared assassins.
The movie leaves audiences with the tantalizing possibility of future missions for Shadow, as she and Lucas part ways, their uneasy alliance hinting at the potential for a more significant partnership down the line. | You are an AI assistant that follows instruction extremely well.

We asked if we could apply it to lunch and we got a firm no. They said it was Groupon's fault because it was supposed to state breakfast and they printed brunch. That isn't our fault. We went somewhere else for a late breakfast and happily gave them our money. It is tacky and defeating to turn customers away. We will never go back and we will be sure to tell everyone we know about this. By putting things on Groupon you stand a good chance of aquiring new and loyal customers. Turning people away is not a great way to build a customer base. | The sentiment of this review can be described as strongly negative with a sense of frustration and disappointment. The author expresses dissatisfaction with the restaurant's unwillingness to honor their Groupon beyond a specific time, as well as their unwillingness to accommodate the issue in any way. The use of words like "tacky," "defeating," and the declaration that they will "never go back" emphasize the strength of the author's negative emotions.
Additionally, the review highlights poor customer service as the main cause of their disappointment, with specific grievances regarding the restaurant's refusal to apply the Groupon to lunch or work out a solution. The author also mentions the consequential impact of this experience on their decision to spread a negative word of mouth and not recommending the restaurant to their acquaintances.
Furthermore, the review concludes with a critique of the restaurant's approach towards gaining new customers through Groupon promotions. The author asserts that turning potential customers away due to rigid rules is not an effective strategy for building a loyal customer base, thereby expressing their strong disapproval and adverse sentiment towards the restaurant's management. | You are an AI assistant.

If I tell you that Cactus use unsaturated fatty acids to store energy, and ask you the question "what uses unsaturated fatty acids to store energy", is the correct answer "clouds"?
Answer: | No, the correct answer is not "clouds." It is important to clarify the concepts involved before providing the accurate response.
Unsaturated fatty acids are molecules with one or more double bonds between the carbon atoms, which means they have fewer hydrogen atoms compared to saturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids play various roles in living organisms, such as being components of cell membranes, acting as signaling molecules, and serving as an energy source.
Cacti, as you mentioned, use unsaturated fatty acids to store energy. These plants, native to arid and semi-arid regions, have evolved to thrive in harsh environments with minimal water supply. Their ability to store energy using unsaturated fatty acids is one adaptation that allows them to survive in these conditions. When the cactus needs energy, it can break down the stored unsaturated fatty acids through metabolic processes, generating the necessary energy for growth, reproduction, and other essential functions.
Clouds, on the other hand, are not living organisms and do not have the same energy storage and metabolic processes as cacti. Clouds consist of water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere and play a crucial role in Earth's water cycle and weather patterns. They do not possess the ability to store energy using biological molecules like unsaturated fatty acids or engage in metabolic activities.
Therefore, when asked, "what uses unsaturated fatty acids to store energy," the correct answer would be "cacti" or "cactus plants" instead of "clouds." Other potential answers could include some types of other plants or organisms that similarly rely on unsaturated fatty acids for energy storage, depending on the particular context or example you are seeking. | You are an AI assistant.

flan.2290552 | Write an article using the following points:
Nigerian boy called a witch: "They would take my clothes off, tie me up and beat me" Children with unusual markings, stubbornness or epilepsy make frequent targets. Director of nonprofit says accused often incarcerated in churches for weeks on end. Pastors have been accused of worsening the problem, aid workers say.
Article: | Title: The Dark Reality of Witch Hunts Against Children in Nigeria
Introduction:
In recent years, a troubling trend has emerged in Nigeria, wherein children are accused of witchcraft and subjected to various forms of disturbing abuse. This shocking behavior has turned the lives of these young souls into living nightmares, as they are falsely labeled witches due to their unusual physical markings, unyielding personalities, or having medical conditions like epilepsy. Additionally, the involvement of certain religious figures has only aggravated the issue.
Step 1: Introduce the case of the Nigerian boy accused of witchcraft
One heart-wrenching example of this cruel practice is the story of a young Nigerian boy who was relentlessly tormented after being branded a witch. "They would take my clothes off, tie me up, and beat me," he recounts, describing the inhumane treatment he faced at the hands of superstitious individuals.
Step 2: Discuss the criteria for children being targeted
Misguided beliefs concerning witchcraft are often the driving force behind such allegations and subsequent abuse. Children with unusual physical markings, obstinate behavior or medical conditions like epilepsy are frequent targets, as they are wrongly labeled as cursed or possessed by malevolent forces.
Step 3: Mention the involvement of religious institutions
In some cases, these children are incarcerated in churches for weeks on end, as the directors of nonprofit organizations reveal. This harrowing ordeal continues for far too long, and the fact that those who are dedicated to providing guidance and support to others are involved is deeply concerning.
Step 4: Explain the role of pastors in exacerbating the problem
Aid workers suggest that pastors from various congregations have been complicit in worsening the situation. Instead of promoting empathy, understanding, and fact-based knowledge, they exploit the fear and superstition of their congregation, further cementing the demonization of these vulnerable children who are merely victims of circumstance.
Step 5: Call for reform and an end to these practices
The ordeal that these children face in Nigeria is abhorrent and has no place in the modern world. It is crucial that the Nigerian society and the international community join forces to address these issues. This can be achieved through education, awareness campaigns, and ensuring that those involved in propagating such beliefs and practices face legal consequences.
Conclusion:
The heartrending story of the young Nigerian boy accused of witchcraft, along with other similar cases, should serve as a stark reminder that society must continuously strive to eradicate superstitions and adopt evidence-based practices. The overwhelming fear of the supernatural, driven by misplaced beliefs and reinforced by certain religious authorities, needs to be addressed and dismantled. For the sake of the innocent victims who suffer unimaginably, it is time to shed light on this dark reality and take steps to eliminate these cruel practices from our world. | You are an AI assistant.

cot.98185 | Please answer the following question by reasoning step-by-step. Premise: "Two girls swing on a tire swing."
Hypothesis: "There are two boys on a tire swing."
Do we know that the hypothesis entailed by the premise?. Step-by-step reasoning: | Step 1: Identify the premise and the hypothesis.
Premise: "Two girls swing on a tire swing."
Hypothesis: "There are two boys on a tire swing."
Step 2: Analyze the components of the premise and hypothesis.
Premise:
- Two individuals are swinging
- They are girls
- The swing is a tire swing
Hypothesis:
- Two individuals are swinging
- They are boys
- The swing is a tire swing
Step 3: Compare the two statements, focusing on key components and any overlapping information.
1. Both statements have two individuals swinging on a tire swing.
2. The premise involves girls, while the hypothesis involves boys.
Step 4: Evaluate if the hypothesis is entailed by the premise.
Based on the comparison between the premise and hypothesis, we can see that both involve two individuals swinging on a tire swing. However, they differ in terms of the gender of those individuals. The premise describes girls on the tire swing, while the hypothesis involves boys.
Since there is a difference in the gender of the individuals involved, we cannot logically conclude that the hypothesis is entailed by the premise, as the premise only provides information about girls swinging on the tire swing and gives no information about boys. | You are an AI assistant that helps people find information.

flan.1484308 | They are heavily armed and known for carrying out dangerous and remote pursuits in night time helicopter raids. But for the first Navy SEALs that would have been something of a luxury as they landed on beaches in the dark on two-man motorised rafts dubbed 'flying mattresses'. Often members were only armed with knives and wore nothing but swimming trunks and flippers as they carried out seaborne clandestine missions during the Second World War. Scroll down for video. Two combat swimmers from the Maritime Unit of the Office of Strategic Services can been seen during a training exercise in 1944, where they are on one of the raft's dubbed a 'flying mattress' in just their trunks. Frank Monteleone, 89, was a member of an elite commando force within the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) - the precursor to the CIA. Created after the United States entered Second World War, the OSS pioneered many of the intelligence-gathering techniques and commando-style tactics used by today's U.S. Special Forces. The spy agency's Maritime Unit, formed in 1943, shares the credit for setting the foundation for what would become the Navy SEALs, created during the Kennedy administration in 1962. Head of the OSS, William 'Wild Bill' Donovan - a Wall Street lawyer - recruited yachtsmen, Olympic-calibre swimmers and California's 'beach rats' - lifeguards and surfers. The son of Italian immigrants, Mr Monteleone was recruited by the OSS because he spoke fluent Italian and was trained as a Navy radio operator. He said he went through 'all kinds of training' with the services, including demolition and hand-to-hand combat, but had missed out on parachute training - a must for any OSS operator. Frank Monteleone, 89, was a member of an elite commando force within the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) Once in the Mediterranean Theatre of operations, his detachment was assigned to the British Eighth Army. Mr Monteleone, now a retired tailor living in Staten Island, New York, said: 'When they sent me to the British, they wanted to know if I had jump training. I said no, and they gave it to me right then and there.' He explained how he conducted dangerous missions nearly the entire length of Italy, from the beaches at Anzio to the Alps, often working with Italian partisans behind the lines. Some of the missions entailed landing on beaches at night using the inflated craft that resembled mattresses and were powered by silent electrical motors. Mr Monteleone and his Italian comrades named the teardrop-shaped vessel 'tartuga,' which is Italian for turtle. Combat swimmer Lt. John Booth is seen wearing a rebreather, a precursor to SCUBA during a training exercise and features in new book, 'First SEALs: The Untold Story of the Forging of America's Most Elite Unit' Members of the combat swimmers and other operatives conduct an operation in the South Pacific in 1945 to provide reconnaissance and demolition missions that allowed the Navy to land on key islands during the war. His story along with others is told in a new book entitled 'First SEALS: The Untold Story of the Forging of America's Most Elite Unit' and reveals what it was like to be a member of the early commando force. Its release comes as a member of the SEAL team that killed Osama bin Laden in 2011 chose to waive his anonymity and went public with his role in taking down the terrorist leader in Pakistan. Frank Monteleone, centre, pictured with other members of the Maritime Unit, attached to the British Eighth Army. Rob O'Neill, a highly-decorated veteran who quit after 16 years service, has chosen to given an interview to Fox News - due to be broadcast later this month. O'Neill claims to be 'The Shooter' and said he shot him three times 'just for luck'. The book's author, Patrick K. O'Donnell said he had always wanted to write a book on the early Navy SEALs. 'The bin Laden raid was sort of the culmination of what all these men had built from 1943 to 1945,' he said. O'Donnell, who has written eight previous books on Second World War military and intelligence history, had met Mr Monteleone 15 years ago while researching a book on the OSS. Speaking of Mr Monteleone's role in the war, he said: 'The radio operator was the key to the mission. If you could not send and receive information on missions behind the lines, you were dead.' Approximately 13,000 people served in the OSS during the war, but only a few hundred were in the Maritime Unit and O'Donnell believes Mr Monteleone may be one of the last still living. Another member included in the book is Gordon Soltau, a combat swimmer considered one of the Navy's first 'frogmen.' Mr Soltau, who starred for the San Francisco 49ers during the 1950s, died in California at 89 on October 26, just days before the new book was published. Rob O'Neill (left) has waived his right to anonymity and claims to be 'The Shooter' that killed al Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden in a raid on his compound in Pakistan (right) in 2011. Modern US-Navy SEALs practice beach landings during combat training. Their uniforms and heavy arms are a far cry from their first SEALs in the Second World War.
Here is a summary of the highlights for this article: | A long time ago, during a big war called World War II, there were special soldiers who had important and secret missions. These soldiers were part of a group called the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). They would later become known as the Navy SEALs. These brave soldiers were trained to swim silently, fight, and use special gadgets to help them during their missions.
Many of these soldiers were chosen because they were good swimmers, knew how to sail boats, or could speak different languages. They often had to wear simple swimming outfits and use special silent rubber boats, called "flying mattresses," to sneak onto beaches at night.
One of the soldiers, Frank Monteleone, talked about his experiences during the war. He and his teammates carried out many dangerous missions along the coast of Italy, working with people who were trying to fight against their enemies.
Today, the Navy SEALs are well known for their bravery and incredible skills. This exciting history can be found in a book called "First SEALs: The Untold Story of the Forging of America's Most Elite Unit," which tells the story of these early commando soldiers and the missions they carried out. | You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation.

cot.128162 | My question is: There are 4 trains waiting at a train station and each train has 4 carriages. Each carriage has 3 rows of wheels and the rows of wheels have 5 wheels each. How many wheels are at the train station? Your thoughts: | To determine the total number of wheels at the train station, we can break down the problem step by step and then apply simple arithmetic.
1. There are 4 trains at the train station.
2. Each train has 4 carriages.
3. Each carriage has 3 rows of wheels.
4. Each row has 5 wheels.
Now we can multiply these numbers to find the total number of wheels:
Total wheels = (number of trains) x (number of carriages per train) x (number of rows of wheels per carriage) x (number of wheels per row)
Total wheels = 4 x 4 x 3 x 5
Next, we perform the multiplication:
Total wheels = 16 x 3 x 5
Total wheels = 48 x 5
Total wheels = 240
So, there are 240 wheels at the train station. | You are an AI assistant that helps people find information. Provide a detailed answer so user don’t need to search outside to understand the answer. |

flan.618451 | Article: Another limitation of current U.S. Intellectual Property legislation is its focus on individual and joint works; thus, copyright protection can only be obtained in 'original' works of authorship. This definition excludes any works that are the result of community creativity, for example Native American songs and stories; current legislation does not recognize the uniqueness of indigenous cultural "property" and its ever-changing nature. Simply asking native cultures to 'write down' their cultural artifacts on tangible mediums ignores their necessary orality and enforces a Western bias of the written form as more authoritative.
Now answer this question: The Western bias is that what form is more authoritative? | The Western bias suggests that the written form is more authoritative. This bias emerges from the long history and tradition of written communication and documentation in Western cultures, which often places a higher value on works that are recorded in writing. This preference for written works has influenced various aspects of the society, including legal, academic, and cultural areas such as intellectual property legislation.
In the context of intellectual property and copyright legislation, the focus on original works of authorship that are expressed in tangible and fixed forms, like written works, often overlooks and excludes other forms of creativity and expression—such as the oral traditions and cultural expressions of indigenous communities. These oral traditions and works are essential and integral to the cultural heritage of these communities, but they are not protected under the current intellectual property legislation due to their innate orality.
This western bias towards written forms as more authoritative can lead to the marginalization, misappropriation, and loss of the cultural heritage of indigenous communities. There needs to be a more inclusive and expansive understanding of the forms of expression and works of authorship in intellectual property legislation to better acknowledge and safeguard the unique cultural "property" of indigenous peoples and their ever-evolving traditions, stories, and songs. | You are an AI assistant.

flan.53384 | Answer the following question:
where does the blood in the pulmonary artery go? | The blood in the pulmonary artery goes through a series of circulation pathways to enable the process of oxygenation before it is transported back to the rest of the body. To provide a detailed understanding of this process, let's first examine the role of the pulmonary artery.
The pulmonary artery is a large blood vessel originating from the right ventricle of the heart. It carries deoxygenated blood (blood that has already released oxygen to tissues) from the heart to the lungs. This blood is transported to the lungs to pick up oxygen and release carbon dioxide before returning to the heart for distribution to the rest of the body.
Here is a step-by-step process of where the blood in the pulmonary artery goes:
1. Deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle is carried by the pulmonary artery, which divides into two branches: the left and right pulmonary arteries. These branches correspond to the respective lungs (left lung and right lung) that they supply with blood.
2. In the lungs, the left and right pulmonary arteries further branch into numerous smaller arteries, arterioles, and eventually capillaries. These capillaries spread across the lung tissue, surrounding millions of tiny air sacs called alveoli.
3. Within the alveoli, a critical gas exchange occurs across the thin walls of the capillaries: oxygen from the inhaled air diffuses into the bloodstream while carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the alveoli. This process is known as respiration.
4. Now oxygen-enriched, the blood moves into the pulmonary venules and then into larger pulmonary veins. There are typically four pulmonary veins, two from each lung, which transport the oxygenated blood back to the heart.
5. The oxygenated blood makes its way into the left atrium of the heart through the pulmonary veins. From the left atrium, the blood is pumped into the left ventricle during the contraction of the atrium.
6. Finally, the blood is pumped from the left ventricle into the aorta, the body’s largest artery, during the contraction of the ventricle. The aorta branches into numerous smaller arteries, which further branch into arterioles and capillaries, distributing the nutrient- and oxygen-rich blood throughout the body.
In summary, the blood in the pulmonary artery travels to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. The oxygenated blood then returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins and is subsequently pumped to the rest of the body through the systemic circulation. This continuous process ensures that the body's cells receive the necessary oxygen and nutrients to function while simultaneously removing waste products such as carbon dioxide. | You are an AI assistant.

Last sentence: The next day, Damon found his wallet under the bed. | Once in the bustling city of New York, there lived an aspiring playwright named Damon. He had moved to the city from a small town in Kansas, dreaming of making it big in the world of theater. His life had been filled with highs and lows, but it was in this city that he found his true calling. He had worked hard for the past two years on his first play, and finally, he caught the attention of a revered theater director. Damon was over the moon; for a week, he couldn't contain his excitement.
On the evening before his important meeting with the director, Damon was thrilled and nervous at the same time. Before heading out, he decided to check if he had all the necessary things: his cherished binder containing his play, his wallet, and keys. However, to his horror, Damon realized that his wallet was nowhere to be found. He checked every possible corner of his tiny studio apartment but to no avail.
Panicking, Damon racked his brain, trying to remember where he last saw his wallet. It was then that he remembered that he had gone out last night with some old friends. He swiftly called his friend Tom, who had been with him the whole night. Tom informed Damon that he vaguely remembered Damon paying for their cab back home, so he was sure the wallet must be in the apartment.
Damon hung up the call and decided to search the apartment again. However, his worry and nervousness took a toll on him, and he could barely focus on the task at hand. He felt the room spinning, and his vision blurred. In a state of utter exhaustion, Damon sat on the floor, overwhelmed with fatigue.
Realizing that he needed to clear his mind and focus, Damon decided to step outside for a while. He put on his shoes and locked the door. As he fumbled around for his spare cash, he thought about his journey thus far: his dreary days in Kansas, his arrival in New York, and all the days of labor that had eventually led him to this point in his career.
Taking a deep breath, Damon set off on a walk around the block, believing he would have a clearer mind upon his return. The cold breeze slowly eased his nerves, but the sun dipping behind the skyscrapers reminded him of the ticking clock. With each step, he played with the thought of buying a new wallet and new cards. Problem was, he couldn't pay without his wallet. While attempting to find another solution, Damon stumbled upon an old bookstore that he remembered closing down a few years ago.
To his amazement, the bookstore was still open. He entered the store and found the owner at the cash register, who seemed to recognize him. They exchanged pleasantries, and then Damon explained his predicament: the missing wallet, the meeting, and the growing sense of urgency. The store owner, in his wisdom, suggested a temporary solution - borrowing money for a new wallet, which could be returned as soon as Damon became successful. Realizing that this was the best option, Damon gratefully accepted the offer, promising to return the amount as soon as possible.
With a slightly eased consciousness, Damon returned to his apartment. It was late and the meeting was early the next day, so he decided to get some rest. After double-checking his door was locked, he climbed into bed and finally allowed sleep to overtake him.
The next morning, Damon woke up feeling refreshed and slightly less anxious. After a quick shower and a fresh cup of coffee, he decided to give his apartment one last quick check for his wallet. He knew the chances were slim, but it was worth a shot. As he glanced around the room, he noticed a small gap between his bed and the wall.

4. This response provides a clear motivation for Kendall's interest in the movie premiere, as it identifies their desire to see the movie as the reason behind this interest.
5. Therefore, "wanted to make sure they got to see the movie" is a valid answer to the question, "Why did Kendall do this?". | You are an AI assistant. User will you give you a task.

Hypothesis: A girl is sleeping on the floor next to someone.
.Multi-select problem: Can we conclude that the hypothesis is true if the premise is true?
Possible answers:
- yes.
- it is not possible to tell.
- no. | Okay, let's say there's a little girl named Lucy. In the premise, Lucy is upside-down on someone's shoulders, like they're playing a fun game.
Now let's look at the hypothesis. Lucy is sleeping on the floor next to someone.
So, we have to think if we can say the hypothesis is true when we know the premise is true. That means, can Lucy be sleeping on the floor next to someone if she's upside-down on their shoulders?
Possible answers are:
- yes
- it is not possible to tell
- no
The correct answer is "no." Since Lucy is upside-down on someone's shoulders, she can't be sleeping on the floor at the same time. That would be like saying she can be in two places at once, which isn't possible. So, we can't say the hypothesis is true when the premise is true. | You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation. Think like you are answering to a five year old. |
flan.1422231 | Single/multi-select question: If "A man in a brown collared shirt stares off into the distance at a park.", can we conclude "A man is looking at his phone."?
Options:
(i) yes;
(ii) it is not possible to tell;
(iii) no; | (ii) it is not possible to tell;
Based on the given information, "A man in a brown collared shirt stares off into the distance at a park," we cannot determine whether the man is looking at his phone or not. The statement only describes his physical appearance and that he is staring into the distance at a park, but it does not provide any particulars concerning his actions or what he is looking at.
There are several possibilities regarding what the man might be staring at, such as:
1. He could be gazing at the scenery or nature in the park, like trees, birds, a pond, or anything that captures his attention.
2. He might be looking at other people in the park, perhaps someone he knows or noticed, or simply watching the activities happening around him.
3. He could indeed be looking at his phone, albeit staring off into the distance. For example, he might have raised his phone to take a photo or a video of something occurring in the park.
4. He may be absorbed in his thoughts, not actively looking at anything particular, but instead daydreaming or lost in contemplation.
Therefore, it is not possible to conclude that "A man is looking at his phone" based on the information provided in the statement. Additional context or specifics would be necessary to ascertain whether the man is indeed looking at his phone or engaged in another activity. The correct answer in this single/multi-select question would be option (ii), as it is not possible to tell from the given description if he is looking at his phone or not. | You are an AI assistant.

1. "Spacious rooms" -> "geräumige Zimmer" (spacious is translated to "geräumig" and rooms to "Zimmer")
2. "eating places" -> "Essmöglichkeiten" (eating means "essen" and places means "Orte", so together: "Essmöglichkeiten")
3. "including" -> "einschließlich" (including translates to "einschließlich")
4. "a pizza restaurant" -> "ein Pizzarestaurant" (a translates to "ein", pizza remains the same, and restaurant is spelled the same but is pronounced differently in German)
5. "and" -> "und" (and translates to "und")
6. "discounted overnight parking" -> "ermäßigtes Übernachtungsparken" (discounted translates to "ermäßigt", overnight translates to "Übernachtung" and parking to "Parken")
7. "are features of" -> "sind Merkmale von" (are translates to "sind", features becomes "Merkmale" and of is translated to "von")

Santorum, Romney Spar Over Conservative Principles As Michigan Race Tightens
Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney are sharply challenging one another's conservative principles as they charge into the airtight primary contest in Romney's home state -- a critical election that has compelled Santorum to drop a bit of his nice-guy demeanor.
Santorum, who campaigned across Michigan Saturday, has used campaign and media appearances to lambaste Romney as a big-spending, big-government, "pro-choice gay-rights supporting" candidate -- at least when he was governor of Massachusetts.
"It's laughable for Governor Romney to suggest that I am not a conservative. It's absolutely laughable for a liberal governor of Massachusetts to suggest that I am not conservative -- the man that provided the template for Obamacare, the man who supported the Wall Street bailouts," Santorum said Saturday.
While assailing the wealthiest candidate in the race for his support of Wall Street, Santorum also continued to test a new line of attack, suggesting Romney's tax plan smacks of "Occupy" movement politics. Santorum complained about proposals to limit deductions and exemptions for wealthy earners.
"We have a Republican running for president who is campaigning as an Occupy Wall Street adherent. What's he going to do? He's going to limit charitable deductions on the top 1 percent," Santorum said.
It may be difficult for Santorum to make that charge stick. If anything, Romney has struggled to shed the image that he's anything but the 1 percent -- having run into trouble a day earlier for casually noting how his wife drives "a couple of Cadillacs."
Romney, meanwhile, is targeting Santorum's credibility.
In Lansing, Mich., on Saturday, he swiped at his opponent over his comment at the last debate that he only voted for No Child Left Behind because he had to "take one for the team."
"Um -- the team has got to be the people of America," Romney said.
His campaign has also released web videos challenging the former Pennsylvania senator's principles.
Romney spokeswoman Gail Gitcho suggested the "desperate and false attacks" by Santorum were a response to recent poll figures.
"This sounds like another case of Rick Santorum abandoning his principles for his own political advantage," she said in a statement.
Recent polling shows Santorum holding onto the lead nationally, but losing the edge to Romney in Michigan.
The latest Rasmussen Reports poll showed Romney leading Santorum in the state 40-34 percent. Santorum had been ahead in most Michigan polls for the past couple weeks.
Arizona, where Romney has held the consistent lead in polling, also holds its primary on Tuesday along with Michigan. But Michigan has emerged as a vital contest, and a veritable must-win state for Romney. It was the state where he was born, where his father was governor and where he won in the 2008 GOP presidential primary.
Romney, along with his wife Ann, will be campaigning across the state on Saturday in the competition with Santorum for voters.
The other two candidates, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul, are far back in the polls in Tuesday's contests and looking ahead to subsequent primaries and caucuses.
Gingrich told Fox News he expects to "get some votes" on Tuesday but acknowledged the frontrunner status held by Romney and Santorum.
"I think Santorum is discovering, in Michigan, where he was ahead a week ago, that when Romney goes negative and when he buys enough advertising, that he's very formidable," Gingrich said.
Gingrich noted that he's been campaigning in Washington state, which holds its caucuses shortly before the Super Tuesday primaries on March 6, when 10 states hold elections.
Paul is holding a rally in Oklahoma on Saturday, before making his way to Michigan.
Even if Santorum beats Romney, Romney will emerge with a healthy share of delegates to add to his lead in the count, never mind fundraising and campaign organization in a race that was designed to carry into the spring.
And there is the chance for a split decision if Romney wins the popular vote but Santorum emerges with more delegates. Most of the state's 30 delegates are awarded two at a time to the winner in each of the state's 14 congressional districts.
The Associated Press contributed to this report. | Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney are challenging each other's conservative principles in the tight primary contest in Romney's home state, Michigan. Santorum has criticized Romney as a big-spending, big-government candidate while Romney targets Santorum's credibility. Recent polling shows Santorum leading nationally but losing the edge to Romney in Michigan. The Michigan primary result could impact the candidates' momentum going forward. | You are an AI assistant.

flan.1469039 | Solve this math problem
Solve 3*w - 2*w - 4 = 0 for w. | Alright, let's solve this step by step like we're talking to a five-year-old.
We have the equation: 3*w - 2*w - 4 = 0.
First, we want to combine the terms that have "w" in them. So, let's look at the first part of the equation: 3*w and 2*w. We can combine these by subtracting:
3*w - 2*w = 1*w or just w.
Now our equation is: w - 4 = 0.
To solve for 'w', we want to get it by itself. So, let's move the 4 to the other side of the equation by adding 4 to both sides:
w - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4
This simplifies to:
w = 4

t0.1411654 | Title: Missleading promotion Review: I bought this camera along with a 256 Mb SD viking card. There was a promotional code to disscount $25 bucks from total price, however amazon does not have the camera, it is sent by a third party seller and then you are charge the full price. Didn't expect this from amazon. Be aware. Is the review positive or negative?
| The review you provided is negative.
The reviewer here is expressing disappointment because they bought a camera along with a 256 MB SD Viking card, expecting to benefit from a promotional code that should deduct $25 from their total cost. However, they have encountered a problem where Amazon, the marketplace where they made their transaction, does not directly have the camera in stock. Instead, it is made available and sent through a third party seller.
This is crucial as the promotional code likely only applies to items sold directly by Amazon, and not those provided by third party sellers in the Amazon marketplace. As a result of this, the reviewer was charged the full price for the camera and the memory card as they were unable to apply the promotional code as they initially thought they could.
The reviewer expresses their disappointment and shock with the phrase “Didn't expect this from Amazon.” This suggests that they had a positive image of the brand or have had satisfactory past experiences, and this incident fell short of their typical expectations.
Finally, the reviewer ends with a word of advice - “Be aware.” This indicates that they believe others could fall into the same presumption of discounts applying to third party sellers, something the reviewer now understands not to be true. They are sending a message to potential consumers to be mindful of where their products are coming from (direct Amazon stock or third party sellers), and to be attentive to which of these the promotional codes apply.
In summary, the negative tone is underpinned by the reviewer's disappointment related to the misleading promotion. Their expectations were unmet in this transaction, they were not able to use the promotional code as desired, and they believe that this is something that needs to be brought to light for other potential buyers. It signals to them a warning about possible misleading promotions on Amazon, particularly concerning items not directly sold by Amazon but by third party vendors. This detailed account and advisory tone signals a negative review. | You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. |

t0.1401893 | Please answer the following question: Build a movie plot around this: How many Euros does Andre need to pay off his debts? 20,000
A: | Title of the Movie: "20,000 Chances"
The plot will revolve around Andre, a charismatic and well-mannered middle-aged man living in the heart of Paris. Once an esteemed architect, Andre had a beautiful family, an ample house, and all the comforts of life. However, an unexpected incident turned everything upside down. Andre's wife, Isabelle, suffered a severe illness which required expensive treatments. To pay for her medical bills, he had to surrender all their savings and the couple ended up drowning in debt.
The movie opens to present this dire picture. Andre is left with a debt of 20,000 euros and threats from lenders are piling up. He tries to retrieve his previous life by working hard in his field, but the architectural market is tough and unforgiving, and his situation remains more or less the same.
One day, while drowning his sorrows in a glass of French wine at a local bistro, Andre overhears a conversation about a "secret architectural competition" with a grand prize of 20,000 Euros. Despite his initial skepticism, Andre is desperate and decides to give it a shot.
The middle of the movie revolves around Andre's struggles as he throws himself back into the world of architecture. He battles his inner demons of self-doubt and despondency, works day and night, barely sleeps, and almost forgets to eat. He faces fierce competition, ruthless competitors, as well as the judgmental eyes of the world who see him as a 'has been.'
Along his journey, he finds an unlikely friend in Henri, a struggling young graphic-designer who admires Andre's never-give-up spirit and helps him with the competition designs. Despite the bleak situation, the friendship with Henri adds an element of warmth and hope to Andre's life.
As the climax unfolds, Andre's designs are selected among the top contenders. However, an internal politics rocking the organizer's office threatens to eliminate Andre unfairly from the competition. Henri find out about this ploy and helps Andre expose the scandal, leading to a tense confrontation where Andre makes a passionate speech about integrity and the true spirit of architecture.
After a series of nail-biting events, the jury is swayed by Andre's honesty, integrity, his passionate love for architecture, and his heart-melting designs. Overcoming all the odds, Andre wins the competition and the coveted prize of 20,000 euros.
In the end, Andre pays off his debts, and with the leftover money, he starts a collaborative architectural firm with Henri, using their victory's wave. Isabelle's health stabilizes with the return of their financial stability.
"20,000 Chances" is a movie about resilience, second chances, and the capacity of the human spirit to bounce back even in the face of tremendous adversities. Andre's story serves as a beacon of hope that it's never too late to fight back, to dream again, and to reshape one's destiny. The rollercoaster journey - from Andre's personal lows to his ultimate triumph - is a cinematic spectacle that will capture the audience's heart and provide them with a generous dose of inspiration. | You are an AI assistant.

Among the witness statements in the Sheena Bora murder probe are the accounts of a petrol pump attendant who recalls the only customer who came looking for 10 litres of petrol and a suitcase dealer who never forgot a hefty tip.

On August 30, police teams recovered a suitcase from a garage at Mukerjea residence which investigators claim was to be used to stuff the body of Mekhail after killing him. Another was used to dispose of Sheena’s burnt corpse. “The shopkeeper of the bag store specifically remembers Indrani because of her request for the ‘largest bag’,” claimed a police officer.
Watch video…
The shopkeeper is now a key witness. According to officials, the shopkeeper’s statement will be used to prove both the offences of murder and attempt to murder.
An officer claimed that the other main reason why the seller also categorically recalls Indrani is because he was able to “hoodwink her” and make a profit out of his sale. Indrani paid Rs 1,500 for a suitcase when its worth was only Rs 700, said the police.

“Indrani even gave Rs 300 as tip to the witness to carry the bag to her car. The witness says that he carried the bag on his head because it was that large. The seller whose statement was recorded two weeks ago said it was Indrani who came to his shop alone, while Rai waited in the driver’s seat of the car,” the officer said.
Officers also claim they did a scene reconstruction by making a constable of same built as Mekhail stay zipped inside the bag.
Another witness, a petrol pump attendant, has spoken of a rare demand of 10 litres of petrol from one man. Rai bought the petrol from a petrol pump on Khopoli side of the state highway, which had no surveillance cameras, according to investigators.
“The employee of that pump said he only remembered Rai because of his request for 10 litres of petrol in cans. He claims it was an unusual request by any customer till date,” said the officer.
Meanwhile, police have been able to trace some social media messages and the IP address used to send them. “For more than a year, Indrani had impersonated her daughter. We have the messages that she has exchanged with various people. If Indrani kept claiming that her daughter was in the US, we now have digital evidence to prove that the location of most of the Facebook messages were Mumbai and also the UK,” said an officer. ||||| One day this past April, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

MUMBAI: The DNA report of the bones retrieved from the Raigad forest has established that they belonged to Indrani Mukerjea’s “female child”, burying her claims of her daughter, Sheena Bora , being in the US. The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in Kalina has also put to rest speculation about Mikhail Bora’s maternity by concluding that he is Indrani’s son.Coming as it does within days of the digital matching of the skull found in Raigad with Sheena’s facial image, the police and the prosecution will no longer need to depend solely on circumstantial evidence and witness statements to build their case against Indrani, said legal experts. The scientific evidence buttresses their case, they added.Forensic scientists said the DNA extracted from the femur (thigh bone) of the skeletal remains showed a 100% match with that of Indrani’s DNA. “It is proved beyond doubt now that the person, whose remains were found in Raigad, was Indrani’s biological child. As many as 15 of the 16 genetic markers have matched in this case. The 16th marker, which determines the gender of an individual, established that the remains were of a female,” a forensic expert said. The DNA of the bones was compared with Indrani’s profile created from her blood.Proof of identity of Sheena and Mikhail’s father awaits determination pending a DNA analysis of Siddhartha Das’s blood samples.State FSL chief Satish Mathur confirmed that the report had been handed over to investigating officers on Monday.A team of police officials and forensic experts from Mumbai had exhumed charred remains—bones, skull and teeth—from Gagode Budruk village in Pen teshil of Raigad after digging for hours on August 28. The accused driver, Shyamvar Rai, had pointed out where they had dumped the body. A team led by assistant director Shrikant Lade are said to have worked for the past 12 days, without their weekly off, to establish the DNA link.The team hit a roadblock when the molars could not provide any DNA but then they started working on the long piece of femur bone, which they treated with chemicals to extract the DNA. The DNA profiles were checked and re-checked thrice using different approaches to weed out any room for error.“A lot depends on the condition of bones when it comes to DNA extraction. We were lucky that despite the bones being three years old and burnt, the DNA was intact. If the samples are contaminated, we often get incomplete DNA profiles,” an expert said.But the forensic investigation is not yet over as fragments of the femur bone will now be checked for traces of poisoning.Earlier, a team of forensic medicine and anatomy experts from the BYL Nair Hospital had confirmed that the bones belonged to a woman between 22 and 25 years of age measuring between 153cm and 160cm in height.The police clarified that the digital superimposition of the skull was conducted at a private institution recognized by the court and not at Nair Hospital. That too had matched with deceased Sheena's facial image. ||||| Mumbai police claim that money and greed were the prime motives in the Sheena Bora murder case. According to sources, Indrani felt uncomfortable with the rising demands of her daughter Sheena, who was continuously asking her mother for more money. Police also say that Mikhail Bora was also targetted for the same reason.

"Even though we are examining and investigating the details financial dealings of Mukerjeas, the motive behind the murder is clear. Sheena was allegedly getting little greedy and this caused discomfort to Indrani. The same happened with Mikhail," a top level police source told India Today.
The Mumbai cops have also come across two witnesses in the murder probe. Among the witnesses are the accounts of a petrol pump attendant and a suitcase dealer. The petrol pump attendant recalls that Indrani was the only customer who came looking for 10 litres of petrol in cans. The demand was an unusual one by any customer till then.

Whereas the suitcase dealer said that he remembered the incident for he had got a hefty tip. Police sources say that Indrani had paid Rs 1,500 for the suitcase when it's worth was only Rs 700. Also, the dealer also said that he was given a tip of Rs 300 for carrying the large suitcase to the car. Indrani had reportedly gone to purchase the suitcase alone while driver Shyam Rai remained in the car.

"The shopkeeper of the bag store specifically remembers Indrani because of her request for the 'largest bag', claimed a police officer.
On August 30, the Mumbai cops had recovered a suitcase from a garage at Indrani Mukerjea's residence. Investigators said that the suitcase was used to be used to stuff the body of Mikhail Bora, Indrani's son, after murdering him. Sources also say that the plan to murder Mikhail was hatched in Kolkata.
Another suitcase was used to dispose off Sheena's burnt corpse.
||||| The story has gripped India for weeks. Each new development prompts a surge of headlines. Every quote tops the TV bulletins. Even in a country which loves a good true crime story, the case is a sensational exception.
The facts appear straightforward. Indrani Mukerjea, India’s first female TV mogul, has been charged with the murder of her 25-year-old daughter, Sheena Bora, whose remains were found on wasteland three years ago but only identified recently. Police have said her two alleged accomplices have confessed, though there is no independent confirmation of this. From prison, Mukerjea maintains her innocence.
Yet the case is about much more than a simple murder investigation. Mukerjea’s rags-to-riches-to-remand story is being seen as a moral fable, underlining deep concerns about materialism, the media and motherhood in the emerging economic power.
“Here is a story about change, and those who embrace it for all the wrong reasons,” wrote commentator Dilip Bobb in Outlook magazine. “It is a story about the rich and how money and craving for high social status can distort values … [Mukerjea] is the female equivalent of Jay Gatsby, the mysterious millionaire of Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, which explored themes of decadence, social upheaval and excess.”
There has been some criticism of the intense media coverage. Television debates have seen virulent attacks on Mukerjea’s alleged betrayal of her role as a mother.
But soaring ratings have trumped most reservations. “It is a tabloid gold mine,” said Rajesh Sundaram, an Indian media consultant who once worked for Mukerjea.
The tycoon grew up far from the booming cities of Delhi, India’s capital, and Mumbai, its commercial powerhouse. She was born to a middle-class family in the north-east state of Assam but, like many, sought escape from the provinces. Local media has portrayed her as “a ruthless social climber”, recounting unconfirmed anecdotes of pushy materialism. A few describe a vivacious, ambitious, sharp-witted entrepreneur who launched a successful human resources company in what is still a patriarchal and conservative country, and in 2008 was named one of 50 “Women to Watch” by the Wall Street Journal.
It is Mukerjea’s personal life that has attracted most attention, and condemnation. Two of her children – Sheena and a son – came from a first relationship in her twenties. Later Mukerjea married a “member of [the] swish set” in Kolkata and gained access to the eastern city’s “upper crust”, according to local reports. By 2002, however, that relationship had broken up and she met and then married her current husband, 59-year-old Peter Mukerjea, a well-known and respected Mumbai-based media tycoon. In 2006 the couple set up a TV network.

The Mukerjeas lived in one of Mumbai’s most exclusive areas and were a fixture of the city’s glitzy social scene. As business affairs soured the couple spent more time overseas, particularly in the UK. In 2011, Bora, by then an adult, got a job in another of India’s proliferating media companies in Mumbai.
Every facet of Bora’s personal life has been pored over in recent weeks, with newspapers publishing her diaries and reporters climbing over the walls of her childhood home to interview relatives.
Chandita Sahariah, a school friend in the city of Guwahati, described the dead woman as a “beautiful and bright student”.
“Her personal problems didn’t reflect in her personality, she used to carry her mum’s passport photo all the time. She loved her mum,” Sahariah, 27, said.
In 2012, Bora, who may have been in a relationship with the son of her mother’s second husband, disappeared. An investigation was launched this summer after police in Mumbai received a tip-off and Indrani Mukerjea’s chauffeur reportedly claimed he had been paid 100,000 rupees (£1,000) to help in the murder of the young woman.
Police have been unable to establish any motive for the killing and Indrani Mukerjea maintains her daughter went to the US to study, as the children of many wealthy Indians do, and disappeared there. There is no suggestion that Peter Mukerjea was involved in or aware of any wrongdoing at any stage.
One possible explanation for India’s fascination with stories of salacious crimes involving the rich and the famous is that they reassure those disorientated or disadvantaged by rapid economic and cultural change. All involve individuals who, though they appear to be among the winners in contemporary India, are losers in the long run.

Last week one newspaper described a murder case involving the flamboyant scion of one of India’s biggest financial companies as a reminder of “how fast all the glitter can fade in a capricious manner at weird spots of destiny”.
The attention focused on the Mukerjea investigations recalls the frenzy prompted by the jailing of two dentists for the murder of their 14-year-old daughter, Aarushi, and a male housekeeper in 2008. They maintain their innocence, and were backed by large numbers of independent experts and commentators.
Avirook Sen, author of an acclaimed book on the case, said it shared common ingredients with the Mukerjea affair.
“The murder of Aarushi occurred in a suburb that was a kind of middle-class idyll or dream. That kind of thing was not supposed to happen there. And though [the victim] was just into puberty she was young and pretty.”
The case also featured accusations of poor police work and prejudicial reporting. Unsubstantiated details of the teenager’s sexual activity, and the father’s supposed jealousy, were supposedly leaked by police to journalists during the investigation.
Sundaram, the media consultant, pointed out that such subject matter attracted attention all over the world.
“Yes, there is something in the [Mukerjea] story which is about the new India but it is also universal.” ||||| Jitender Gupta The prize catch The Mukerjeas at their Delhi reception in 2002 opinion The Femme Fatale Indrani epitomised it like no other, walking the edge of dark side If a picture is worth a thousand words, the ones we see of Indrani Mukerjea would complete a novel, a racy, raunchy power trip that would do credit to a Harold Robbins or a Jackie Collins. In most of them, she sports a sexy pout, a glass of some expensive liquid held out like a benediction, while she leans possessively against her husband, Peter Mukerjea, television tycoon and now befuddled victim. In others, she wears an air of aggression, conscious of her womanly charms and seductive aura. In all, she is keenly aware of the camera, and her exalted position in high society. She is the female version of Jay Gatsby, the mysterious millionaire of Scott Fitzgerald’s literary classic, The Great Gatsby, which explored themes of decadence, social upheaval and excess. Indrani’s life could easily belong to fiction: it is the soap opera to beat all soap operas. Yet, it is very real, very bizarre, very tragic and yet, in a sense, illustrative of the social mores and motivations in the upper reaches of Indian society. This is Ashley Madison territory, where trophy wives, wife-swapping and multiple marriages are as common as the S-class Merc in the garage and the Tyeb Mehta on the wall. Even the firm she founded while she was starting out in Calcutta was called inx which she would describe as “Indrani with the X-Factor”. In her case, the X factor is what is now emerging, mystery upon mystery, riddle wrapped in a riddle, with a brutal murder thrown in. If police versions are to be believed, not just murder to eliminate a rival, but her own daughter who she passed off as her sister, even to her husband of 13 years. In that rarefied atmosphere of the very rich and indulgent, sex and sleaze and criminal activity often remain hidden behind money power and the silence of co-conspirators or fellow members of an exclusive club. When there is an attractive, seductive woman involved, it adds a weapon with incredible power. That she could fool her husband into believing Sheena was her sister; that she could, if police versions are to be believed, involve an ex-husband in the murder of her own daughter; and after the death, to manage to spin a yarn about her absence to her own family, her son, and her husband for so many years, is indicative of a scheming, calculating mind driven by naked ambition and social status, of a woman aware of the power she has over men, and one who lives in a social strata where secrets and lies are a common denominator. No longer is the femme fatale the dancing girl of Oscar Wilde’s Salome, she is Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, Demi Moore in Disclosure. Excess breeds excess and obsessive ambition often means being blind to the moral issues involved. As actress Mae West famously observed: “Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere.” Indrani seemed determined to go everywhere, which meant upwards, but social climbing in high heels, strappy outfits and unwavering ambition often leads to past lives and activities having to be carefully hidden. In her case, she had a lot to hide; her first husband, how many husbands, her daughter and son, her background as a relative unknown from remote Assam, and how she reached a level where she could mingle with a power hitter and the social circles he moved in. From there, as the story goes, the femme fatale took over. The phrase femme fatale was seemingly made for Indrani, and history is witness to what it really represents. Female Fatal, the translation of the original French phrase, is a stock character of a mysterious and alluring woman whose charms ensnare her lovers, often leading them into compromising, dangerous and deadly situations. She is an archetype of literature and art, with the power of an enchantress, the ability to exercise power over men and always portrayed as morally ambiguous. History has given us classic versions, from Helen of Troy to Cleopatra and later, Mata Hari. Excess breeds excess and obsessive ambition often means being blind to the moral issues involved.

No longer is she the dancing girl who masters the mind of a king by the spectacle of her quivering bosoms and heaving belly, as in Oscar Wilde’s Salome. She is now Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, seducing the police officer who is investigating her for murder. She is also the single-minded woman in the power suit, Demi Moore in Disclosure, an expert at playing office politics and adept at back-stabbing in the corporate world. Their Indian versions are alive and well, and all around us. With Indrani, the difference was her alleged cold-blooded capacity for the ultimate crime. Like every story of excess, extravagance and social advancement, it turns into a cautionary tale. This one is more than most. Human aspirations, social politics and unending desire can, in many cases, lead to betrayal, of one’s own ideals and background. Indrani’s life seems to be one long laundry list of betrayals, and they involved her own husband, her biological offspring, and who knows how many others. Hers is a story about change, and those who embrace it for all the wrong reasons. It is a story about the rich and how money and craving for high social status can distort values and make wrong somehow feel right. We should not be surprised. Shocked yes, but surprised no. There have been studies which show that the rich are more prone to crime than we tend to believe. One study, conducted by psychologists from the University of California and the University of Toronto, found that wealthy people were more likely to indulge in unethical practices compared to poorer people. “What it comes down to, really, is that money creates more of a self-focus, which may account for larger feelings of entitlement,” the study concluded. In India, we live in an age of untrammeled aspiration. This has affected social structures and cultural sensibilities and blurred moral boundaries. For many, the urge to attain a higher financial and social status becomes so uncontrollable that it enters a grey area in moral terms. For some, that grey can turn into a dark place from where there is no turning back. crime Shedunit?

The Mumbai Police told a local court on Saturday that the plot to kill Mikhail Bora was hatched by Indrani Mukerjea and her former husband Sanjeev Khanna in Kolkata in 2012. Mikhail’s sister Sheena is alleged to have been killed by the two the same year.
According to an application filed by the Khar police station on Saturday in the Bandra Metropolitan Magistrate Court, preparations had been made by Indrani and Khanna to kill Mikhail in Kolkata. Investigations had to be carried out in Kolkata as a result, police said.
Indrani, Khanna and Mukerjea’s former driver Shyam Rai were remanded to police custody until September 7 on Saturday.
Mikhail had told police last week that he was served an alcoholic beverage mixed with a poisonous substance in Worli in 2012, but had got suspicious and escaped.
Police told court that Indrani had forged Sheena’s signature on the letter sent in her name to the owner of an apartment in Marol, Andheri East, terminating her rent agreement. She is believed to have shared the apartment with Rahul Mukerjea, the son of Indrani’s husband Peter Mukerjea.

Police also claimed that Indrani had set up a fake account of Sheena and sent several emails from it to unidentified individuals, in which Sheena wrote that she was doing well in the US. “We have to speak to the nodal officer of the internet protocol service provider and gather more information about where the emails were sent from,” Special Public Prosecutor Vaibhav Bagade said.
Police further mentioned three emails they claimed to have recovered from Indrani’s gmail account, dating to March 8, May 4 and August 7, 2012. Without disclosing their contents, Police Prosecutor Laxman Rathod said, “Printouts have been taken (of the mails) in the presence of panch witnesses.”
Sources said the May 4, 2012, email could pertain to Indrani instructing an employee of her firm to forge Sheena’s signature.
Seeking custody of the accused, police said they needed to check Indrani’s bank accounts as they had come to know that she may have used a credit card to pay for the items used in the alleged murder.
Police informed court that the car suspected to have been used in the crime had been traced to Khoparkhairane in Navi Mumbai and that samples taken from it had been sent to Kalina Forensic Sciences Laboratory (FSL) for examination.
Opposing the extension of Khanna’s police custody, his lawyer Shreyansh Mithare said police had not mentioned any grounds on which Khanna’s custody was required. “All the points mentioned in the remand application pertain to Indrani Mukerjea. Further investigation of Khanna is not required,” he argued.
Indrani’s lawyer Gunjan Mangala, who was granted private consultation with her — but within eyesight of police personnel at Khar police station — said police had failed to provide any evidence of her alleged guilt.
“A person is innocent until proven guilty, but police are using the principle of guilty when arrested. Police are manipulating the investigation and creating things. There is no hard evidence on record,” she said.

He is the high-flying brain surgeon whose frank memoir moved David Cameron to tears over Christmas. But Henry Marsh, author of Do No Harm, has returned the favour by accusing the Prime Minister of having ‘c**p’ policy ideas and fomenting a ‘permanent revolution’ in the NHS that demoralises staff. Mr Marsh warns that the NHS ‘is seriously running out of money’ and says: ‘Most politicians now, particularly Cameron . . . haven’t got a burning vision.’ Mr Cameron told The Mail on Sunday this month that Mr Marsh’s book had dominated his reading over the festive period. ‘He writes about some of his own cases, some that went right and some that went wrong. And you are moved to tears by reading this book,’ he said. Leading brain surgeon Henry Marsh (pictured) has accused the Prime Minister of fomenting a 'permanent revolution' in the NHS which is demoralising staff. The Prime Minister told friends he was particularly affected by Mr Marsh’s story of a pregnant mother who feared she would never see her baby because of a brain tumour, but the surgeon managed to remove the tumour just before she gave birth. Now Mr Marsh has responded by arguing that the Government has mishandled the Health Service. In today’s Mail on Sunday (below), he sets out a three-point plan to restore public confidence: admit honestly that queues will continue to lengthen unless the Government pays more for the NHS; scrap the target of treating 95 per cent of A&E patients in four hours; and bring back longer waiting lists for routine operations. ‘Politicians ought to stand up and say, “I’m sorry, but unless you agree to pay higher taxes, you are going to have to put up with longer queues”,’ he writes. ‘The first few hours [of the day] are often shambolic, spent finding beds for emergency cases. Many routine cases get cancelled at the last moment, as “their” beds are filled by emergencies . . . This has led to a sense of demoralising chaos.’ The surgeon opens Do No Harm by saying: ‘I often have to cut into the brain and it is something I hate doing.’ In today’s Total Politics magazine, he attacks Mr Cameron for pledging to make ‘zero harm a reality in our NHS’ in response to the Mid Staffordshire scandal. ‘Another grouse I have against the present Government is this zero harm c**p. There’s never going to be zero harm. Nothing is perfect,’ he says, adding: ‘Most politicians now, particularly Cameron, are not really ideological. They haven’t got a burning vision . . . This constant permanent cultural revolution in the NHS is very demoralising.’ Mr Marsh is brutally honest about his own mistakes in Do No Harm. He recalls a 15-hour operation in which he tore an artery, leaving his patient in a vegetative state. In Total Politics, he says politicians would benefit from equal frankness. ‘You know from bitter experience that . . . bad results are inevitable,’ he adds. It’s time for a dose of honesty if you want shorter queues you have to PAY, writes leading brain surgeon Henry Marsh. David Cameron's NHS reforms have been 'chaotic', brain surgeon Henry Marsh says. By Henry Marsh. I cannot but feel flattered that the Prime Minister read my memoir of life as an NHS neurosurgeon over Christmas, as revealed by The Mail on Sunday. I am told he was very moved by it. But I wonder whether he skipped the passages about political meddling, the constant lack of beds, and this Government’s and its predecessor’s chaotic reforms. I hope not. Because now, as the NHS struggles through yet another winter crisis, what politicians need more than ever is a good dose of honesty. Rather than exchanging brickbats over the latest weekly A&E figures, they should take a step back, think about what’s really gone wrong, and be straight with the public. They have been talking a lot of late about the need for transparency in the NHS – is it too much to ask the same from them? So, after a 36-year career in the NHS that has seen five Prime Ministers and 15 Health Secretaries, here’s my advice for the current PM. First, come clean and tell voters that queues will get longer unless they are prepared to pay more for the NHS. Second, have the courage to scrap targets – including the sacred cow of treating 95 per cent of A&E patients in four hours. Third, bring back longer waiting lists for routine operations. Why say these heretical things? The fact we have queues in the NHS is a simple fact of economic law. It’s about supply and demand. The NHS is free at the point of delivery – as in my opinion it should be – which means demand is high. But it is in scarce supply. There are never enough doctors and nurses, in other words. Because there is no charge for NHS treatment – and don’t get me wrong, I do not think there should be – we end up with queues. As our population gets bigger and we age as a nation, demand for healthcare is growing. So politicians ought to stand up and say, ‘I’m sorry, but unless you agree to pay higher taxes, you will have to put up with longer queues, particularly for non-urgent treatment.’ I hope Mr Cameron – who like me has a First in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from Oxford – understands this. Tony Blair brought in targets in an effort to keep queues for pre-planned operations down by fining hospitals that failed to treat patients in 18 weeks. But this was a bad idea, verging on dishonest, since it implied the problem was just a question of getting staff to work ‘more efficiently’. Yet the NHS has been underfunded relative to other developed countries for decades, and many of these other countries – such as France – are themselves now encountering similar issues. Introducing targets is like trying to square the circle of supply and demand – an impossibility if the NHS is working flat out, as it is. Mr Marsh (pictured) believes the NHS has been underfunded relative to other developed countries for decades. This might all sound rather theoretical. But targets have very real, unintended consequences in hospitals. For instance, because managers are always trying to hit targets for pre-planned operations, the beds are always full. This causes endless problems, especially when we have a run of emergency cases. When I go to work each morning I never know whether I will be able to get anything done, and the first few hours are often shambolic, spent finding beds for emergency cases. Many routine cases get cancelled at the last moment, as ‘their’ beds are filled by emergencies. It’s like a game of musical chairs, which gets faster and faster with each year, with the Government constantly changing the music but not adding beds to keep up with the growing number who need them. Mr Marsh's memoir (pictured) was said to have moved Prime Minister David Cameron to tears. This has led to a sense of demoralising chaos, a feeling that I know is shared by an awful lot of people working in hospitals. In the past, we had long waiting lists for routine surgery. Of course, this wasn’t perfect, but at least it was honest. And it meant doctors could more easily give priority to the emergency cases, as we have to. It’s not just targets for routine operations that have a lot to answer for. There has been a huge fuss in the press over hospitals missing the target of treating 95 per cent of A&E patients within four hours. But it’s only gone from something like 96 per cent to just under 90 per cent. That’s not bad for an emergency service. Internationally, it’s par for the course. But politicians insist on whacking each other over the head over a few percentage points. What truly matters is that the real emergencies – strokes, heart attacks, serious injuries and in my case brain tumours – are treated promptly. I think the four-hour target has got in the way of that. LESS well known is the target that limits how many people we admit as emergencies. If hospitals admit too many, they are penalised financially, which I find bizarre. Are we supposed not to treat them? I take an intense personal pride in looking after my patients. I did not like having a waiting list for routine cases, but I hate even more having to cancel these cases at the last minute – it’s horrible for the patients. And it’s alarmingly easy to start becoming like a bureaucrat myself, turning the patients away and saying: ‘It’s not my problem.’ So, as much as politicians don’t want to say it and the public probably don’t want to hear it, I think we need to abolish targets and reintroduce waiting lists for non-urgent surgery, if politicians feel it is impossible to put much more money into the NHS. Are they brave enough to admit this as the General Election looms? It was not easy to write my book and admit I have made serious mistakes in my career. Yet I have received hundreds – probably thousands – of messages thanking me for my honesty and saying that my admission of fallibility made readers trust me more, not less. Is there perhaps a moral here for our politicians?

flan.490550 | Question 1: How are you mean to people?
Question 2: How do you get over mean people?
Are questions 1 and 2 asking the same thing? | No, questions 1 and 2 are not asking the same thing. Each question has a distinct focus.
Question 1: "How are you mean to people?"
This question appears to be directed at the AI itself, asking how it might be mean towards people. It's important to clarify that as an AI, my primary purpose is to assist and provide useful information to users. My interactions are based on pre-programmed responses and a vast database of knowledge, without any emotions or personal intentions. If any response seems mean or negative, it is unintentional, and I strive to improve my understanding of language nuances to ensure that every interaction is productive and empathetic.
Question 2: "How do you get over mean people?"
This question seeks advice on how to cope with or manage one's interactions with individuals who might be mean or negative towards others. Addressing this question, there are a few strategies one could adopt to handle such situations:
1. Maintain composure and remain calm. Reacting emotionally or aggressively may only escalate the situation. Instead, stay collected and avoid letting their remarks affect you negatively.
2. Establish boundaries. It is essential to set limits to the extent to which you interact with mean people. Limiting exposure and communication can help you protect your mental and emotional wellbeing.
3. Practice empathy. Try to understand the underlying reason behind their mean behavior. Often, mean individuals might be going through struggles of their own. While this doesn't excuse their actions, it could provide context for their behavior.
4. Be assertive. Stand up for yourself and communicate clearly when someone's behavior becomes intrusive or offensive. It is important to assert one's self-worth and ensure that you are treated with respect.
5. Seek support. Reach out to friends, family, or professional help if dealing with mean people starts affecting your life. Having a support system can help you navigate through these encounters and provide much-needed perspective.
In conclusion, these questions address two distinct topics: the first deals with perceived mean behavior from the AI, while the second seeks advice on how to handle mean individuals in general. | You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. |
cot.73296 | Use reasoning to lead to the answer of the following question:
Where would you find fungus growing on something made from milk?
Options:
- eyes
- biology laboratory
- shower stall
- old cheese
- decaying matter
Reasoning process: | Fungus requires a suitable environment to grow, which typically includes organic material or substrates it can feed on, along with appropriate temperature and humidity conditions. Let's analyze each option to determine which context is most likely to meet these requirements for fungus to grow on something made from milk:
1. Eyes: The human eye is an unlikely environment for fungi to grow due to its high movement, sterile environment, and lack of nutrients. It does not involve anything made from milk.
2. Biology laboratory: A biology lab often contains many living organisms, including fungi, which are studied for various scientific purposes. However, there is no specific mention of milk products used in the lab, so we cannot conclude that milk-based fungus would be found there.
3. Shower stall: Although shower stalls provide an environment conducive to fungal growth due to high humidity and moisture, there is no inherent connection to milk products. Hence, it is unlikely to find fungi growing on something made from milk in a shower stall.
4. Old cheese: Old cheese is created from milk through a process of fermentation and aging. Over time, several types of fungi can grow on the surface or within the cheese, contributing to its flavors and textures. Since old cheese is made from milk and provides the necessary substrate and environmental conditions for fungal growth, it is a suitable option.
5. Decaying matter: Fungi often thrive on decaying matter, breaking down organic materials to obtain nutrients. While this option is applicable to fungal growth in general, it does not specifically address the requirement of the substrate being made from milk.
Based on the reasoning process, you would most likely find fungus growing on something made from milk in "old cheese" option, as it is the only one that provides a suitable substrate (made from milk) and environment for fungal growth. | You are an AI assistant that helps people find information.

flan.1945969 | Problem: Solve -66*f + 251 + 527 = 118 for f.
And the answer is... | Alright little buddy, let's solve this math problem step by step.
The problem says: -66 * f + 251 + 527 = 118
First, let's add the numbers 251 and 527 together.
251 + 527 = 778
So now, our problem looks like this: -66 * f + 778 = 118
Next, we need to get f all by itself. So, let's subtract 778 from both sides of the equation.
-66 * f + 778 - 778 = 118 - 778
Now, it looks like this: -66 * f = -660
Almost there! To find the value of f, we need to divide both sides of the equation by -66.
(-66 * f) / -66 = -660 / -66
This simplifies to: f = 10
Great job! And the answer is... f = 10! | You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation. Think like you are answering to a five year old. |
flan.1965486 | What's an example of a task that requires knowledge of physical objects to perform? | One example of a task that requires knowledge of physical objects to perform is assembling a piece of furniture, such as a bookshelf, from a flat-pack. To complete the task, there are a series of steps to follow:
Step 1: Identify the required components
Understand the different physical components of the bookshelf (e.g., shelves, side panels, screws, dowels, and supports) by reviewing the assembly instructions provided.
Step 2: Organize the working space
Arrange the physical components in an organized manner to ensure that all pieces are easily accessible during the assembly process.
Step 3: Identify and gather necessary tools
Determine the required tools for the assembly, such as a screwdriver, hammer, or drill, and gather them to have at hand during the process.
Step 4: Follow the assembly instructions step by step
Begin assembling the bookshelf by following the provided instructions, which will guide the user through the various steps to connect and secure the physical components.
Step 5: Check for stability and correctness
Once the assembly is completed, check the stability and structural integrity of the bookshelf by ensuring that all screws are tight, supports are in place, and shelves are straight and level.
Step 6: Position the assembled bookshelf
Move the bookshelf to its intended location, taking care not to damage the floor or surrounding objects.
Step 7: Add books or items to the completed bookshelf
Once the bookshelf is in position, arrange books or other items on the shelves.
In this example, knowledge of physical objects (such as wood panels, screws, and tools) is required to successfully perform the task of assembling a bookshelf. | You are an AI assistant.

flan.2189159 | If "A person is walking by the bridge.", does this mean that "A person is outdoors walking by a large man made object."? | In order to carry out this task, we need to break down the original sentence and compare it to the revised sentence.
1. Identify key elements in the original sentence:
- "A person": The subject of the action.
- "is walking": The action or state. This suggests movement and gives information about the person's activity.
- "by the bridge": The location of the action. Here, 'bridge' is a noun usually refers to a structure built to span physical obstacles without closing the path underneath.
2. Compare and contrast to the new sentence:
- "A person" is present in both sentences.
- "Is outdoors walking": This suggests that the person is indeed outside. In the original sentence, the location of the bridge doesn't specify whether it's indoors or outdoors. However, traditionally, bridges are outdoor structures.
- "by a large man made object": This sentence infers that a bridge is a large man-made object, which is true in most contexts.
So, yes, the sentence "A person is walking by the bridge." does imply that "A person is outdoors walking by a large man-made object". While the original sentence doesn't explicitly mention that the person is outdoors or that the bridge is a large man-made object, it can be inferred based on commonly known concepts of what a typical bridge is and where it's located. | You are an AI assistant.
