### Assistant: Let's evaluate the information given step by step and calculate the value of the coins in each jar.
1. Caden has 120 pennies. We know there are 100 pennies in a dollar, so we can calculate the value of the pennies:
120 pennies / 100 pennies/dollar = $1.20
2. He has three times as many pennies as he does nickels. Since he has 120 pennies:
120 pennies / 3 = 40 nickels
3. Now, let's calculate the value of these 40 nickels. A nickel is worth $0.05, so:
40 nickels * $0.05/nickel = $2.00
4. Caden has five times as many nickels as he does dimes. Since he has 40 nickels:
40 nickels / 5 = 8 dimes
5. Let's calculate the value of these 8 dimes. A dime is worth $0.10, so:
8 dimes * $0.10/dime = $0.80
6. He has twice as many quarters as he does dimes. Since he has 8 dimes:
8 dimes * 2 = 16 quarters
7. Finally, let's calculate the value of these 16 quarters. A quarter is worth $0.25, so:
16 quarters * $0.25/quarter = $4.00
Now, let's sum up the value of the coins in each jar to find the total amount:
$1.20 (pennies) + $2.00 (nickels) + $0.80 (dimes) + $4.00 (quarters) = $8.00
So, Caden has $8.00.

### Assistant: A night table, also known as a nightstand or bedside table, is a small piece of furniture typically placed alongside a bed. It provides a convenient surface for items such as a lamp, alarm clock, mobile phone, or books. Night tables can be made from a variety of materials like wood, metal, or glass and are available in various styles and designs. Among the given options, the correct choice for obtaining a night table to take home is indeed a "furniture store." Here's a detailed explanation:
1. Hallway: A hallway is an area in a building that connects various rooms or spaces. While it's not impossible to find a discarded or temporarily stored night table in a hallway, it's unlikely to be a reliable or consistent source for acquiring a night table.
2. Homes: Although an individual may have a night table in their home, it's not an appropriate place for someone else to go and acquire a night table. Obtaining a night table from someone else's home without permission would be considered theft. However, if a friend or family member offers to give you a night table from their home, this option could be viable but only in a specific and limited context.
3. Junk Drawer: A junk drawer is typically a small storage space within a home where miscellaneous items are kept. A night table is too large to fit in a junk drawer, and thus, it cannot be a feasible source for acquiring a night table.
4. Hotel: Hotels usually provide night tables as part of the room furnishings. However, hotel furniture is not meant for guests to take home. Attempting to take a night table from a hotel without permission would be considered theft and could result in serious consequences.
5. Furniture Store: A furniture store is an establishment that sells various types of furniture, including night tables, for home and office use. This is the most appropriate option among the given choices for obtaining a night table to take home. Furniture stores offer a wide variety of night tables in terms of design, material, and price range, making it easy for customers to find a night table that suits their needs and preferences.
In conclusion, among the options presented, visiting a furniture store is the most suitable and legitimate way to acquire a night table to take home. It provides a diverse selection of options and helps ensure you are purchasing a piece of furniture that aligns with your desired style, budget, and quality requirements.

### Assistant: Based on the premise "Gymnast performs on the bar," we can gather the following information:
1. The subject is a gymnast.
2. The action being performed is on the bar.
However, the hypothesis "The athlete does her bar routine" provides additional information that we cannot confirm from the premise:
1. "Athlete" could refer to any sportsperson. Still, in this context, it is highly likely that the athlete is the gymnast mentioned in the premise.
2. The gender of the athlete is specified as "her." This information is not provided in the premise, and we cannot confirm the athlete's gender.
3. It mentions "bar routine," implying a specific sequence of movements or actions. The premise does not provide details about any specific routine being performed.
Taking these factors into consideration, we can conclude that:
Option: it is not possible to tell
We cannot confirm the hypothesis "The athlete does her bar routine" as true based solely on the premise "Gymnast performs on the bar" because we lack information on the gender of the athlete and whether a specific routine is being performed.

### Assistant: The final step of the process detailed above is the generation of electricity using the spinning turbines.
When the turbines spin, they are connected to a shaft within an electric generator. This electric generator is responsible for converting the mechanical energy from the spinning turbines into electrical energy. The generator contains magnets and tightly wound copper wire inside, and based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, the rotation of the turbines causes the magnets to move, inducing a flow of electric current through the wire coils. This flow of electricity then powers a current which may vary in its voltage, depending on the needs of the electric grid.
Once the electricity is generated, it is sent to transformers at substations to either step-up or step-down the voltage levels as needed for long-distance transmission or local distribution. High-voltage transmission lines then carry the electricity over large distances and distribute it to different power stations near communities, industries, and businesses.
Upon reaching the local distribution networks or substations, the voltage is stepped-down further to safer levels for residential, commercial, and industrial usage. Finally, the electricity is transported through distribution lines and delivered to consumers, powering their homes, businesses, and devices.
In this process, the steam that has passed through the turbines is cooled down in a condenser, converting it back to water, which recirculates through the system. This allows for efficient usage and conservation of water in the power plant.
In conclusion, the final step of this process is the generation of electricity using the spinning turbines, which is transformed and transmitted to consumers through various stages of distribution and helps power their everyday lives.

### Assistant: my opinion, Christian has all the talent and potential to become one of the greats at Tottenham. Just like Gascoigne and Hoddle, he has a special connection with the fans and a unique way of impacting games,’ said Vertonghen. ‘His performances this season have proved that he is capable of rising to the challenge and becoming a true Spurs legend. If he continues to develop and maintain his consistency, there is no doubt in my mind that Christian Eriksen will be mentioned in the same breath as those iconic figures in the club's history.’

### Assistant: "Titus' Grand Inauguration: The Spectacle and Celebration of the Colosseum's Completion"
|
### Human: You are an AI assistant. User will you give you a task. Your goal is to complete the task as faithfully as you can. While performing the task think step-by-step and justify your steps.Answer the following question: Given the below context: The inaugural games were held, on the orders of the Roman Emperor Titus, to celebrate the completion in AD 80 (81 according to some sources) of the Colosseum, then known as the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium). Vespasian began construction of the amphitheatre around AD 70 and it was completed by his son Titus who became emperor following Vespasian's death in AD 79. Titus' reign began with months of disasters – including the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, a fire in Rome, and an outbreak of plague – he inaugurated the completion of the structure with lavish games that lasted for more than one hundred days, perhaps in an attempt to appease the Roman public and the gods. Little literary evidence survives of the activities of the gladiatorial training and fighting (ludi). They appear to have followed the standard format of the Roman games: animal entertainments in the morning session, followed by the executions of criminals around midday, with the afternoon session reserved for gladiatorial combats and recreations of famous battles. The animal entertainments, which featured creatures from throughout the Roman Empire, included extravagant hunts and fights between different species. Animals also played a role in some executions which were staged as recreations of myths and historical events. Naval battles formed part of the spectacles but whether these took place in the amphitheatre or on a lake that had been specially constructed by Augustus is a topic of debate among historians. Only three contemporary or near-contemporary accounts of the games survive. The works of Suetonius and Cassius Dio focus on major events, while Martial provides some fragments of information on individual entertainments and the only detailed record of a gladiatorial combat in the arena known to survive: the fight between Verus and Priscus. Guess a valid title for it!

Provide a detailed answer so user don’t need to search outside to understand the answer."I say, I'm pleased to see you," said the little man standing by the letter-box. "Oh, hello," I said, remembering he was a new neighbor. "Simpson, isn't it?" "Yes, that's right." He seemed quite pleased by my ready recognition. "I wonder if you could lend me some money," he continued. "My wife gave me a letter to post, and I've just noticed it isn't stamped." "yes, they never are," I said, sympathetically . "It must go tonight--it really must! I'd get stamps out of the machine," explained Simpson," Only I find I have no small change about me." "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I haven't either," I said. "Oh, dear, dear," he said. "Yes, well," I said, intending to move off. But he looked so unhappy standing there with the blue unstamped envelope that I really hadn't the heart to desert him. So I took him to my house and found some pennies and gave them to him, who, in the most business like way, made a note of the loan in his pocket-book, and left. But soon he turned up again. "I'm sorry I am a stranger round here and --well, I'm rather lost..." It took me several minutes to explain to him where the post office was. In the end I felt as lost as Simpson and had to accompany him to the post office, but, only to find the automatic stamp-machine was empty! "Oh!" Simpson was so desperate that he dropped the letter on the ground and when he picked it up there was a large black spot on its face. "Dear me," he said, "My wife told me to post it tonight. I'd better post it, if you know what I mean." I did know. Or, at least, I knew Mrs Simpson. Then I got a good idea, "Post the letter unstamped--let the other man pay double postage on it in the morning. " And he had to agree. Finishing off our job, I took him home. "I'm so grateful to you, really," he said when we reached his home. "That letter--it's only an invitation to dinner to Mr... Dear me!" "Why, what's the matter?" "Nothing. Just something I've remembered." "What?" But he didn't tell me. He just opened his eyes and his mouth at me like a wounded gold- fish, murmured a...

### Assistant: Yes, these questions are related, since they all address the reasons behind the relatively consistent color of human feces.
To answer this question, let us explore the factors that contribute to the brown color of feces.
Step 1: Understand the composition of human feces
Feces consist of water, undigested food particles, bacteria, mucus, salts, dead cells, and a pigment called stercobilin.
Step 2: Identify the element responsible for the color
In human feces, the brown color primarily results from the presence of stercobilin, a pigment produced during the breakdown of heme.
Step 3: Elaborate on the process behind the formation of stercobilin
When you consume food, your body extracts the necessary nutrients and energy through the digestive process. The waste products, such as cellular debris and undigested food particles, are transported to the large intestine to be eliminated as feces.
During digestion, red blood cells break down, releasing heme, an iron-containing compound found in hemoglobin. Heme is subsequently metabolized by liver enzymes, which convert it into biliverdin and then bilirubin. Bilirubin is excreted in bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help with digestion.
As bilirubin travels through the large intestine, it is metabolized by bacteria into urobilinogen and then stercobilin, giving feces their characteristic brown color.
In conclusion, the brown color of human feces primarily results from the presence of stercobilin, a pigment produced during the breakdown of heme in the digestive process. Despite the variable colors of foods consumed, the stercobilin content in feces remains relatively consistent, which explains the uniform brown color.

### Assistant: No, the statement "When hydrogen and oxygen molecules combine, the reaction produces o2 and H2O." is NOT true according to the passage. The passage states that when hydrogen and oxygen molecules combine, the reaction produces heat and water.

### Human: You are an AI assistant. User will you give you a task. Your goal is to complete the task as faithfully as you can. While performing the task think step-by-step and justify your steps.Article: Electricity, like clean water, is a resource that's often taken for granted. But last summer, when blackouts struck much of the northeastern US, Ontario and Rome, consumers on two continents were given a painful reminder of just how easily broken electricity supplies can be. The massive disorder stranded commuters, stopped freezers, shut down businesses and refocused attention on where most of the planet's power comes from:oil-and-gas-fired generators and nuclear plants, These sources not only pollute the environment but also make many consumers feel unacceptable health risks. Companies are trying to offer an alternative, clean energy from renewable resources that's plentiful and portable. Lifton's Medis Technologies, as well as companies like Hydrogenics and Nanosys, is tapping into fuel cells and dolor panels to give people power whenever and wherever they want it, free from dependence on local grids . The search for alternative energy is nothing new, but the current trend of innovators is focusing on the goal of making clean and sustainable power a mainstream commodity. For example, the fuel cell, which produces electricity from the chemical reaction between oxygen and hydrogen, has been around for about 150 years, though its commercial development did not begin until the 1960s and then only as part of NASA spacecraft. Today this technology is coming down to Earth in places like Tokyo; in nine European cities, from Stockholm to Porto, each operating three hydrogen-fuel-cell buses; and in Iceland, which is trying to create the first fuel free hydrogen economy by 2030. When hydrogen and oxygen molecules combine, the reaction produces heat and water. Fuel cells use this reaction to generate electricity. With the cell phone and gadget market in mind, Medis has developed a fuel cell with cheap components that produces little heat and effortlessly reduces waste water without turning to energy consuming pumps. Question: Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? Yes or no, is the answer "When hydrogen and oxygen molecules combine, the reaction produces o2 and H2O."?

### Human: You are an AI assistant. Provide a detailed answer so user don’t need to search outside to understand the answer.Question: Found the following article online, use it to answer the question: What is the first name of the person whose only child was Lisa Marie? Presley's only child, Lisa Marie, was born on February 1, 1968, during a period when he had grown deeply unhappy with his career. Of the eight Presley singles released between January 1967 and May 1968, only two charted in the top 40, and none higher than number 28. His forthcoming soundtrack album, Speedway, would rank at number 82 on the Billboard chart. Parker had already shifted his plans to television, where Presley had not appeared since the Sinatra Timex show in 1960. He maneuvered a deal with NBC that committed the network to both finance a theatrical feature and broadcast a Christmas special.Recorded in late June in Burbank, California, the special, simply called Elvis, aired on December 3, 1968. Later known as the '68 Comeback Special, the show featured lavishly staged studio productions as well as songs performed with a band in front of a small audience—Presley's first live performances since 1961. The live segments saw Presley dressed in tight black leather, singing and playing guitar in an uninhibited style reminiscent of his early rock and roll days. Director and co-producer Steve Binder had worked hard to produce a show that was far from the hour of Christmas songs Parker had originally planned. The show, NBC's highest rated that season, captured 42 percent of the total viewing audience. Jon Landau of Eye magazine remarked, "There is something magical about watching a man who has lost himself find his way back home. He sang with the kind of power people no longer expect of rock 'n' roll singers. He moved his body with a lack of pretension and effort that must have made Jim Morrison green with envy." Dave Marsh calls the performance one of "emotional grandeur and historical resonance".By January 1969, the single "If I Can Dream", written for the special, reached number 12. The soundtrack album rose into the top ten. According to friend Jerry Schilling, the special reminded Presley of what "he had not been able to do for years, being able to choose the people; being able to choose what songs and...

### Assistant: Title: Disappointing Performance
Review: I had high hopes for the com.google.android.gms app, but unfortunately, it fell far short of my expectations. The app often crashes and sometimes doesn't even load at all. It feels like it's still in its beta stage despite being an official release.
The user interface is clunky and difficult to navigate. I had a hard time finding the features and functions I was looking for. The overall layout could use a major overhaul to help simplify the navigation process.
There are also several noticeable bugs in the app that have not been addressed. I'm surprised that such a big company like Google has let these problems persist in their product. I had hoped to see improvements with each update, but so far, there has been little to no change.
I'm giving this app 2 stars because despite its many flaws, there is still some potential if proper improvements are made. The concept is solid, but the execution leaves much to be desired. I really hope the developers put more effort into addressing the issues and make this a better experience for its users. Until then, I can't wholeheartedly recommend this app.

Found this place cause of Yelp's frontpage mentioning new businesses. They opened two days ago and the inside is very nicely done and super clean. The bathroom even smells nice :D. Take a look at their clock! Pretty nifty. I want one, haha. I came with a friend - he got the turkey sandwich while I tried the Greek Pide. I only tried it cause of a yelp review but feta cheese is just not my thing. It ruined the whole thing for me but I DID enjoy the bread :). I think I'll try their Ruben (corned beef) sandwich next time. The turkey sandwich was good, though. I didn't try any drinks, though. They have different stuff for breakfast and for lunch so hopefully I'll get a chance to drop by another day... I came around 7:30pm and most of their stuff were already put away. Come in the day for everything :)! Croissants, salads, and their desserts. Try them all! :0D They are super nice and they are absolutely open to any suggestions! Feel free to tell them. They want to stay open, after all. + this is my 100th review! :D wheeee.

### Assistant: "The Unraveling Unity: Pink Floyd's Tumultuous Journey to The Final Cut"
|
### Human: You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer.Given the question: Given the below context: In 1982, Waters suggested a new musical project with the working title Spare Bricks, originally conceived as the soundtrack album for Pink Floyd – The Wall. With the onset of the Falklands War, Waters changed direction and began writing new material. He saw Margaret Thatcher's response to the invasion of the Falklands as jingoistic and unnecessary, and dedicated the album to his late father. Immediately arguments arose between Waters and Gilmour, who felt that the album should include all new material, rather than recycle songs passed over for The Wall. Waters felt that Gilmour had contributed little to the band's lyrical repertoire. Michael Kamen, a contributor to the orchestral arrangements of The Wall, mediated between the two, also performing the role traditionally occupied by the then-absent Wright. The tension within the band grew. Waters and Gilmour worked independently; however, Gilmour began to feel the strain, sometimes barely maintaining his composure. After a final confrontation, Gilmour's name disappeared from the credit list, reflecting what Waters felt was his lack of songwriting contributions.Though Mason's musical contributions were minimal, he stayed busy recording sound effects for an experimental Holophonic system to be used on the album. With marital problems of his own, he remained a distant figure. Pink Floyd did not use Thorgerson for the cover design, Waters choosing to design the cover himself. Released in March 1983, The Final Cut went straight to number one in the UK and number six in the US. Waters wrote all the lyrics, as well as all the music on the album. Gilmour did not have any material ready for the album and asked Waters to delay the recording until he could write some songs, but Waters refused. Gilmour later commented: "I'm certainly guilty at times of being lazy ... but he wasn't right about wanting to put some duff tracks on The Final Cut." Rolling Stone magazine gave the album five stars, with Kurt Loder calling it "a superlative achievement ... art rock's crowning... Guess a valid title for it!
The answer is:

### Assistant: C) main reasons for Chinese students' poor performance
Step-by-step justification:
1. The passage discusses the challenges and difficulties faced by Chinese students in UK higher education, particularly in terms of socializing, teamwork, and academic attainment.
2. It provides statistics about the lower percentage of Chinese students graduating with a first-class degree compared to other students.
3. The passage presents research findings by Zhiqi Wang and Ian Crawford, who identify two factors that contribute to the decline in performance among Chinese students in later years of their degree.
4. While the passage touches on the pressures faced by Chinese students and cultural differences, the primary focus is on explaining the reasons behind their poor performance.
5. There are no definitive solutions provided to the problems facing Chinese students.
Therefore, the answer is C) main reasons for Chinese students' poor performance.

### Human: You are an AI assistant. User will you give you a task. Your goal is to complete the task as faithfully as you can. While performing the task think step-by-step and justify your steps.Answer the following question: For Yali Liu, the hardest thing about UK higher education is having to go to the pub. "It's how much you need to invest socially with other students," she says. "I don't like going to a pub or club, but people just keep going out and I feel the pressure to go out too." This is because, unlike in China, she says, there is so much emphasis during the course on teamwork and group projects, so socialising with other students - especially British people, is crucial. Liu, 23, who is in her final year of a BSc in business administration at the University of Bath, is one of more than 80,000 Chinese students studying in UK universities. They are responsible for a large proportion of the more than PS10bn a year that international students contribute to the UK economy. However, research shows that where their academic attainment is concerned, the picture is not satisfactory. While nearly 58% of all students - and 45% of overseas students graduated with a first-class degree last year, this was true of only 35% of students from China. To find an explanation, Zhiqi Wang and Ian Crawford, lecturers at the University of Bath, compared the performance of Chinese and British undergraduates in each year of their degree. Taking a sample of 100 British and Chinese students and comparing their average marks and final degree classification, they found a dramatic drop in performance among the Chinese students between year one, when they performed better than their UK counterparts, and year two, when they performed worse. They believe the drop results from two factors. First, Chinese students fail to adapt their approaches to learning and so their performance declines in the later years when the complexity of the work increases. Second, many young people in China enroll in higher education due to pressure from family rather than their own motivation. Professor Sedghi thinks part of the problem may be the changing socio-economic background of Chinese undergraduates. While 85% of Chinese students at British universities before 2000... The passage mainly talks about_in UK universities. A) the great pressure Chinese students are suffering B) cultural differences between the east and the west C) main reasons for Chinese students' poor performance D) possible solutions to the problems facing Chinese students

### Assistant: First, I will address each question separately before evaluating whether they are paraphrases of each other.
1. Does green tea really reduce weight?
To answer this question, I will gather information from scientific research and studies on the effects of green tea on weight reduction:
- Green tea contains catechins, which are natural antioxidants that can help boost metabolism and increase fat burning.
- Several studies have shown that consuming green tea with caffeine may slightly enhance weight loss, particularly in reducing abdominal fat.
- The effect of green tea on weight loss might vary from person to person, depending on individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle.
From this research, I can conclude that green tea may have some positive effects on weight reduction. However, the extent of these effects can vary among individuals, and a balanced diet and regular exercise are still essential for effective weight management.
2. At what time should I drink green tea to be fit?
To answer this question, I will consider the best time to drink green tea based on the possible benefits and potential side effects:
- Drinking green tea in the morning on an empty stomach may help kick-start the metabolism, as it contains catechins.
- It is best to avoid drinking green tea too close to bedtime due to the caffeine content, which can interfere with sleep.
- Drinking green tea after meals can be beneficial for digestion, but it is recommended to wait at least an hour after the meal to avoid interfering with nutrient absorption.
- Consumption of green tea should also be limited to around 2-3 cups per day to avoid potential side effects, such as caffeine overload, gastric irritation, or nutrient malabsorption.
Based on this information, the best times to drink green tea for general fitness may include in the morning on an empty stomach, after meals (at least an hour later), and during the day, avoiding close to bedtime.
Finally, I will evaluate if these questions are paraphrases of each other:
- The first question is about whether green tea can reduce weight, while the second question asks about the best time to drink green tea to promote fitness.
- Both questions are related to the benefits of green tea, but they are not paraphrases as they address different aspects of the topic: weight reduction and the optimal time for consumption.
In conclusion, these two questions are not paraphrases of each other, as they address different aspects of the benefits of green tea.

### Assistant: Okay, little buddy! This sentence is talking about money things. It's saying that there are no final numbers mentioned for actions and projects, public stuff to help people, or ways to make things better in cities or towns. There is also no mention about helping local leaders or making new discoveries. In grown-up language, it translates to:
"In the budget, there are no mentioned figures for final allocations to actions and projects, public infrastructure, or innovative industrial policies, regional development, support for local authorities, or research and development."

### Assistant: A human would choose "failure" as the answer to the question above because it is the most applicable option among the given choices. Studying for final exams can be nerve-wracking primarily due to the fear of not performing well, and thus, failing. The fear of failure can create immense pressure on students to succeed, which may lead to feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious.
The other options do not fully capture the underlying fear that comes with preparing for final exams. Here's why:
- Success: While it might seem counterintuitive, some people do experience the fear of success. However, it's not the primary reason why preparing for final exams is nerve-wracking for most students. Students generally aim for success, so it is less likely to be the cause of the stress in this case.
- Graduation: Graduation is a milestone signaling the end of one's academic journey, but it isn't the primary fear in studying for final exams. Although it can be a source of anxiety, it's more about the uncertainty of the future rather than the exam-taking process itself.
- Anxiety: Anxiety is an emotional response or a symptom that someone might experience while preparing for exams due to the fear of failure. It's not the root cause of the stress related to taking final exams, but rather a result of it.
- Studying: Studying is the act of learning and reviewing materials required for exams. It might be time-consuming and demanding, but it's not the primary cause of stress in this context. The fear of failure during exams is the driving factor behind the nerve-wracking feeling, not the act of studying itself.
In conclusion, the fear of failure is the most fitting answer because it directly explains the concern and stress students experience when preparing for their final exams, as they worry about not doing well and the potential negative consequences that may follow.

### Assistant: A transportation fuel is produced by alcoholic fermentation of glucose in corn or other plants. The process of alcoholic fermentation involves the conversion of glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide by the action of yeast or other microorganisms.
Alcoholic fermentation begins with glucose, a simple sugar found in corn or other plant-based feedstocks. Under the appropriate conditions, yeast or other microorganisms metabolize glucose through a series of biochemical reactions, ultimately producing ethanol, carbon dioxide, and some minor byproducts.
In the context of transportation fuel production, ethanol is the primary product of interest. Ethanol, or ethyl alcohol, is a liquid that can be blended with gasoline or used as a standalone fuel source for internal combustion engines. Ethanol has a high octane rating, which allows it to burn more efficiently and produce fewer harmful emissions compared to traditional gasoline. In many countries, including the United States, ethanol is blended with gasoline to create fuels like E10 (10% ethanol, 90% gasoline) or E85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline).
Carbon dioxide is another product of alcoholic fermentation, and although it is a greenhouse gas, its release during fermentation is part of the natural carbon cycle, as plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis to produce the glucose used for fermentation. The carbon footprint of ethanol production depends on various factors, such as the feedstock efficiency and energy inputs throughout the production process.
In summary, the main product of alcoholic fermentation of glucose in corn or other plants for the purpose of transportation fuel production is ethanol, a clean-burning and renewable fuel source. The process also produces carbon dioxide, which contributes to the overall carbon cycle.

### Assistant: The author of "The Hunger Games" is Suzanne Collins. Born on August 10, 1962, in Hartford, Connecticut, Suzanne Collins is an American television writer and novelist, best known for her science fiction and dystopian young adult novels. She gained widespread recognition and fame for her highly successful trilogy, "The Hunger Games," which comprises three books – "The Hunger Games," "Catching Fire," and "Mockingjay."
Collins began her career in the entertainment industry by writing for children's television in the early 1990s. She worked on a variety of shows, including "Clarissa Explains It All" on Nickelodeon and "Little Bear," "Oswald" on Nick Jr., and "Generation O!" on Kids' WB. However, her transition from television writing to novel writing took place when she was inspired by the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur, which led her to write her first novel, "Gregor the Overlander" (published in 2003). This book became the initial installment of her critically acclaimed five-part series "The Underland Chronicles."
In September 2008, Collins published "The Hunger Games," introducing readers to the dystopian world of Panem, where an oppressive government forces children to participate in a deadly televised competition. The novel was well-received by critics and readers alike, garnering numerous awards and becoming a New York Times bestseller. Its success prompted the release of two sequels, "Catching Fire" (2009) and "Mockingjay" (2010). These two books also went on to achieve enormous commercial and critical success, solidifying Collins' status as a prominent and influential author.
"The Hunger Games" trilogy has notably resonated with teenagers and young adults, addressing themes such as survival, societal control, rebellion, and individual identity within a society that actively suppresses it. The popularity of the series eventually led to the production of a film adaptation, with the first movie released in 2012. The film, starring Jennifer Lawrence as the protagonist Katniss Everdeen, achieved substantial box office success and was followed by three additional movies based on the remaining books, the last installment being released in 2015.
In addition to "The Underland Chronicles" and "The Hunger Games" trilogy, Collins has written a children's book called "Year of the Jungle" (2013) and a book set in the world of Panem, "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" (2020), which serves as a prequel to "The Hunger Games." Throughout her career, Collins has been praised for her storytelling ability, compelling characters, and powerful social and political commentary, making her one of the most influential authors in contemporary young adult fiction.

Article: Mr. Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, and he and his wife moved to another town. They did not have many friends there, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner or to parties at other people's houses. Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, "We've been to a lot of other people's houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustn't we?" "Yes, certainly," answered her husband, "A big party will be the easiest thing, won't it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month." So Mrs. Harris said, "Yes, I'll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December." "How many will that be?" Mr. Harris asked. "Don't invite too many." Mrs. Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing, "Party. 6.30 to 8.30 p.m." "That isn't very nice, is it?" he said. "You're telling our guests that they must go at 8.30." So Mrs. Harris just wrote "Party. 6.30 p.m." A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8.30. In fact they were still there at mid-night when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, "You must stop making a noise, because someone has complained." Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go. When Mr. and Mrs. Harris were alone again, she said to him. "That was a surprise, wasn't it? Who complained about the noise?" "I did," Mr Harris answered in a tired voice. Question: How long would Mrs. Harris like the party to last?

### Assistant: Based on the given information, camera B with the larger aperture will have a higher beam quality. This is because, as the hint suggests, if the aperture is too small, the beam quality is greatly improved, but the power is greatly reduced. Since camera A has a very small pinhole, it may result in decreased power. However, it is important to consider other factors such as the focal length of the lens and the diameter and quality of the input beam in determining the best camera for David's needs.
|
### Human: You are an AI assistant that follows instruction extremely well. Help as much as you can.David needs to purchase a camera for his photography class. He went to the local consumer electronics store to find himself a good camera. Two cameras caught his eye, camera A and camera B. Camera A had a very small pinhole, but camera B had larger aperture. David needs to decide which camera should he buy. Which camera would have higher beam quality? Hint: In practice, the diameter of the aperture is chosen based on the focal length of the lens, the diameter and quality of the input beam, and its wavelength (longer wavelengths require larger apertures). If the hole is too small, the beam quality is greatly improved but the power is greatly reduced. If the hole is too large, the beam quality may not be improved as much as desired. The size of aperture that can be used also depends on the size and quality of the optics. To use a very small pinhole, one must use a focusing lens with a low f-number, and ideally the lens should not add significant aberrations to the beam. The design of such a lens becomes increasingly more difficult as the f-number decreases.

### Human: You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer.The boy at the center of the cyber bullying feud that drove a young girl to suicide after she was terrorized online for a year admitted last night his feelings for her may have been the cause of the torment. John Borgen was dating Florida teen Rebecca Sedwick, 12, who jumped to her death on September 10, before he started seeing Guadalupe Shaw. The 14-year-old was arrested on Monday in connection with her death along with Katelyn Roman, 12, and Borgen admitted last night his continued affection for Rebecca may have been the cause of much of her death. The 12-year-old was 'terrorized' by as many as. 15 girls who ganged up on her and picked on her for months through. online message boards and texts. Jealousy: John Borgen - pictured with Guadalupe Shaw, who has been arrested in connection with the death of Rebecca Sedwick - said he didn't know Rebecca was being bullied. Accused: Katelyn Roman, 12, left, and Guadalupe Shaw, 14, right, were arrested and charged with aggravated stalking in connection with the death of Rebecca Sedwick. Victim: Rebecca Sedwick jumped to her death on September 10. She would have been 13 this weekend. He had dated Sedwick when they were classmates at Crystal Lake Middle School in Lakeland, Florida, and had known her since she was eight-years-old. After they split up he began dating Shaw - but said she was consumed with jealously because he made no secret of his affection for Rebecca. 'Guadalupe did not like the fact that I still liked Rebecca,' said Borgen, whose cover photo on his Facebook page shows him holding Guadalupe. 'She was angry that I still liked Rebecca and that I'd talk about her. 'It shocked me, it made me mad because she should have just told somebody,' he told WTSP. He said of the tormentors: 'They need to take life seriously. Why do you need to be bullying somebody?' Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said. Tuesday that Shaw allegedly posted this heartless message on Facebook:. 'Yes IK [I know] I bullied REBECCA nd [sic] she killed her self but. IDGAF [I don't give a f***].' Sheriff. Judd said that even though Shaw's parents say that she is nice and must. have been hacked since she would never do such a thing, he cannot. believe that they would allow her back online amid the controversy. 'This girl is back on Facebook after Rebecca dying? Can you believe parents would let their child do that?' he said. 'We will not tolerate that. If I can find something to charge her parents with - who are in total denial about this - I will. The apple does not fall far from the tree. 'Rebecca took the bullying to heart and we are not putting up with it. When I stood there at the base of that tower and saw that baby - that child - deceased on the ground it broke my heart and I know it would break the hearts of people all over the country if they were in my position. 'We want to send a message out to kids that anyone who cyber stalks or cyber bullies will be punished.' In the middle: John Borgen previously dated Rebecca and her alleged tormentor Guadalupe Shaw. Devastated: Rebecca Ann Sedwick, 12, pictured with her mother Tricia Norman, is said to have had a disturbing upbringing. Denial: Guadalupe Shaw's parents - who did not want to be pictured - said their daughter was loving and caring and would never write those terrible things. While Shaw's parents are still in denial about their daughter's supposed actions, the parents of the other accused girl- Katelyn Roman- concede that they could have done more. Katelyn's father told ABC: 'I feel horrible for the whole situation. It's my fault that maybe I don't know about that kind of stuff but I wish I did.' One parent who was left reeling even after the arrests was that of Rebecca's mom Tricia as her daughter's 13th birthday would have been this weekend if she had not died last month. After the arrests of her daughter's tormenters were announced, Tricia said: 'I felt like a big weight had been lifted. It was a mixture of tears, relief and sadness. Tragic loss: Rebecca with her sister Amy. Bullied: Rebecca was withdrawn from her. elementary school after being bullied and was home schooled by her mother Tricia (right) who says her daughter's death should be a warning to all parents to be vigilant.

### Human: You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation. Think like you are answering to a five year old.Review: What a delightful romp a very competently made film that has so much charm and a feelgood factor that a lot of romantic comedies lack. Einstein is brilliantly acted by Walter Matthau, while Meg Ryan's Catherine is unforgettable better than I have seen her in those films opposite Tom Hanks as the young mathematician struggling to be recognized.
You don't need to be a young woman to understand Catherine's struggle and feel sympathetic for her immediately, and as a young man it's easy to understand what must have gone through Ed's (Tim Robbins) mind in pursuing his true love. There's universal appeal in these emotions, even if I.Q. keeps it all light, fun and tied up nicely.
Sure it's not heavy, but if you look there are some subtexts. People remember Albert Einstein as a scientist yet he was a great spiritualist; his sayings such as something along the lines of, 'If it is not impossible, then why do it?' suggest he is a believer in fulfilling higher goals beyond one's immediate grasp. In this film, there are questions of what an accident really is such as whether Albert and his whacky sidekicks' intervention in prying Catherine away from stiff-upper-lip, loveless James (Stephen Fry who gives this otherwise cardboard character life and you cannot help but feel for his lack of feeling) counts. How much intervention happens in our lives that we do not see, and comes across as serendipitous?
And of course, we'd like to think in real life, despite what we often observe of the people we know, that we Edwards get the Catherines and Jameses have to learn how to defrost the icewater in their veins. How nice to know that it might work out in I.Q.'s innocent (and disturbingly, exclusively Caucasian) Eisenhower-era land of make-believe.
Now, what is this review like?
Options are: (a). negative. (b). positive.

### Assistant: The article from September 29, 2004, discusses an instrumental event in the quest to commercialize space travel. The event took place in Mojave, California, where a specially designed airplane, primarily used to transport a suborbital spacecraft, successfully commenced its ascent just before 7:15 am, Pacific Daylight Time.
This event's significance lies in its pioneering nature; it was part of an endeavor to achieve the first phase of a privatized space travel race. The concept of privatization here refers to transitioning space exploration from solely a governmental venture to an area also accessible to private entities. This transformation would allow private corporations to innovate, compete, and potentially provide space travel services or conduct scientific research independently.
The suborbital spacecraft being transported by this specialized airplane is specifically designed to operate in the suborbital space region. This means that while it can reach space, it isn't capable of staying in orbit around Earth. Suborbital flights, in theory, could prove fundamental in future transcontinental transportation due to their comparatively reduced travel times.
Thus, the article suggests that if successful, this flight could mark an important milestone in the space industry's history, potentially catalyzing the dawn of an era of commercialized space exploration and travel. It also implies that the event paves the way not just for scientists and astronauts to explore space but potentially, for regular civilians to experience space travel too in the future. Booster vehicles like the specialized plane used for the transportation of the suborbital spacecraft could possibly play an essential role in this journey towards the development of private space travel.

### Human: You are an AI assistant that follows instruction extremely well. Help as much as you can.Please answer the following question about this movie plot. If it's un-answerable, please output "No answer". Question: How did dr Callaway's wife die? Movie plot title: Hide and Seek Movie plot: Following his discovery of the body of his wife (Amy Irving) in a bathtub after her apparent suicide, Dr. David Callaway (Robert De Niro), a psychologist working in New York City, decides to move with his 9-year-old daughter Emily (Dakota Fanning) to Upstate New York. There, Emily makes an apparently imaginary friend she calls "Charlie". Her friendship with Charlie begins to disturb David when he discovers their cat dead in the bathtub, whom Emily claims was a victim of "Charlie". Meanwhile, David suffers from nightmares of the New Year's Eve party that occurred the night before his wife died. When a family friend, Dr. Katherine Carson (Famke Janssen), comes to visit David and Emily, Emily reveals that she and Charlie have a mutual desire to upset her father. Soon, they meet Laura (Melissa Leo) and Stephen (Robert John Burke) who are their neighbors. David is wary of their unusual interest in Emily. He later discovers that the reason for this is that the couple had a daughter who recently died from cancer and looked like Emily. Later, when David visits Laura, she nervously and ambiguously implies that her husband has begun abusing her in response to their child's death, emotionally and perhaps even physically. David meets Elizabeth Young (Elisabeth Shue), a local woman, and her niece, Amy, who is roughly the same age as Emily. Hoping to cultivate a new, healthy friendship for Emily, David sets up a play date for her. Amy is anxious to become friends immediately, but the play date is spoiled when Emily cuts up Amy's doll's face. After Amy runs out of the house, Emily tells David that she doesn't need any more friends. Despite the unsuccessful play date, David and Elizabeth hit it off. David invites her over to dinner one night, where Emily acts increasingly hostile towards her. Some time later, Elizabeth visits the house, hoping to make peace with Emily. When Emily tells her that she is playing hide-and-seek with Charlie, Elizabeth indulges her by pretending to look for Charlie. When she opens the closet,...

### Assistant: Most people feel a strong sense of care and affection towards a person they love. Out of the options provided, "care about" is the one that aligns with common sense when answering this question. Love is associated with a deep emotional attachment, and caring about the well-being and happiness of the person we love is a natural expression of that connection.
Caring about someone we love involves showing kindness, tenderness, and support – both emotionally and practically – while also having their best interests at heart. When people love someone, they are usually attuned to their needs, empathetic to their feelings, and concerned for their welfare. Love often comes with a genuine desire to help the person we love thrive and grow, and to maintain a strong, healthy, and mutually fulfilling emotional bond.
Popularity, knowing all, owning a house, and having the flu are not concepts or experiences that are inherently related to love or affection. Popularity, for instance, may influence how we see someone, but it doesn't necessarily correlate with love. Similarly, knowing everything or owning a house aren't direct reflections of our feelings for someone. And obviously, the flu is a health issue that has no bearing on our emotions or the affection we feel for someone we love.
In summary, the most accurate response to the question, "How do most people feel about a person they love?" is that they care about the person deeply. This can be seen in the various ways we express our concern, support, and nurturing for the well-being and happiness of those we care for the most.

### Assistant: Jian Ghomeshi was a famous radio host who worked at a place called CBC. Many women have come forward and said that Ghomeshi hurt them during dates and attacked them without their permission. The police are investigating these claims and talking to the women who are accusing him. In his defense, Ghomeshi said that he did engage in rough activities but they were always consensual, which means both people agreed to it. He was fired from his job at CBC, and he is currently involved in a trial to see if he is guilty of the claims made against him.
|
### Human: You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation. Think like you are answering to a five year old.Generally the women coming forward with new stories allege that Ghomeshi asked them on dates and, without their consent, attacked them, usually by grabbing them around the throat, squeezing the throat and striking them on the face.
Meanwhile, other women who allege they were attacked by Ghomeshi continue to come forward. The Star has now heard of incidents dating back to his time as member of the band Moxy Früvous, and more allegations from his time as host of Play on CBC television and from his time as host of Q .
Ghomeshi — whose whereabouts are unknown — has not yet been interviewed, police said Saturday.
Police are also investigating videos Ghomeshi showed his CBC bosses Oct. 23 containing “graphic evidence that Jian had caused physical injury to a woman.”
A third woman is now being interviewed by the Toronto police sex-crimes unit as the criminal investigation into allegations of physical and sexual assault against fired CBC star Jian Ghomeshi expands.
Trailer Park Boys actress Lucy DeCoutere is one of the women being interviewed by police. She alleged in an interview with the Star that in 2003 Ghomeshi choked her to the point she could not breathe and then slapped her hard three times on the side of her head without her consent.
Over the past week the Toronto Star and other media outlets have published accounts by nine women alleging Ghomeshi violently abused and harassed them.
Ghomeshi will, “at some point,” be asked to come in and discuss the allegations, the head of the sex-crimes unit, Insp. Joanna Beaven-Desjardins, said in a news conference Saturday morning.
Ghomeshi was fired by the CBC last Sunday, three days after CBC saw the “graphic evidence” for the first time, according to an internal staff memo sent out Friday by Heather Conway, executive vice-president of English services. Conway indicated in the memo that the videos he provided showed “graphic evidence that Jian had caused physical injury to a woman.”
Sources have told the Star Ghomeshi presented graphic videos and photos of himself and a woman to his bosses, in an attempt to show “how bruising could happen and it could still be consensual.”
Ghomeshi believed the videos “were exculpatory of his conduct,” sources told the Star.
After learning about the videos from media reports, Beaven-Desjardins said police will be speaking to individuals at the CBC about both the videos and any knowledge they might have of the allegations against Ghomeshi.
CBC has “reached out to police and will fully cooperate with their investigation,” CBC spokesperson Chuck Thompson said Saturday afternoon.
Thompson would not respond to questions about whether CBC is in possession of the videos.
On Friday he told the Star he couldn’t comment for legal reasons when asked if the CBC had considered going to police after the meeting.
Earlier this week, the CBC said an independent investigation into allegations against Ghomeshi within the CBC and on improving workplace safety systems will be conducted.
The announcement came after one of the nine women, a CBC employee at the time, told the Star in an interview that Ghomeshi sexually harassed her in the workplace. And in a meeting to discuss her complaints with Q’s executive producer, she said she was asked “what (she) could do to make this a less toxic work environment.”
In a Facebook post on Thursday, Ghomeshi said that while he does not plan to address any allegations against him in the media, he does intend to meet them “directly.”
Ghomeshi wrote in a previous post that, while he has engaged in “adventurous forms of sex that included role-play, dominance and submission,” it has always been consensual. He reiterated, in a $55-million defamation and breach of trust lawsuit against CBC, that all his sexual interactions have been consensual.
A formal police investigation was launched Friday, a day after Chief Bill Blair made a public statement asking complainants to contact the police so an investigation could be opened.
But Beaven-Desjardins said that as soon as the media reports came out, she assigned officers to review all coverage so they could be prepared when a formal investigation commenced. She also contacted media outlets to pass police and Victim Services contact information on to their sources.
The police are now asking anyone with photos, videos and social media chats related to the investigation to contact the sex-crimes unit.
Beaven-Desjardins encouraged other alleged victims to come forward and assured them that their accounts would be taken seriously. ||||| Disgraced radio host Jian Ghomeshi’s agent, publisher and former bandmates are the latest people to distance themselves from him. In a brief statement on Friday, the Toronto-based company The Agency, which describes itself as “the world's leading live music booking agency,” announced that “they are no longer the agent of representation” for Ghomeshi.

According to Ghomeshi’s website, he was represented by The Agency’s Jack Ross, who did not return phone and email requests. Late Friday, Penguin Random House Canada said it would not be publishing Ghomeshi’s next book “in light of recent events,” according to a statement from spokeswoman Tracey Turriff, who declined further comment. Members of Ghomeshi’s former band, Moxy Fruvous, who had not played since 2000, said in a Facebook statement that they were “sickened and saddened” by the allegations leveled against Ghomeshi.

“We had no inkling that Jian engaged in this type of behaviour. We abhor the idea of a sexual relationship of any sort being entered into without full consent from both parties and condemn violence against women in any form. We wish only health and healing to everyone involved,” said Mike Ford, Murray Foster and David Matheson. Musician Lights, who was managed by Ghomeshi announced on her Facebook page that, though she had earlier defended him, she had now parted ways with Ghomeshi. Her statement said “I posted comments about Jian Ghomeshi the day after he was dismissed by the CBC where I rushed to defend my manager of 12 years. I am now aware that my comments appear insensitive to those impacted and for that I am deeply sorry. This is to confirm that as of now I will be parting ways with Jian Ghomeshi as my manager.
I hope everyone can heal from this.” Ghomeshi was fired by the CBC on Sunday, and is suing the public broadcaster for $55 million. Nine women have so far alleged in the media that he choked them, pulled their hair, hit them over the head or sexually harassed them.

Ghomeshi has previously said his actions were consensual and that he intends to meet these allegations “directly.” Among the other groups to dump Ghomeshi since nine women made allegations of assault and sexual harassment against him include Navigator, the high-profile crisis management firm, his publicist rock-it Promotions, and two Canadian speakers bureaus. Sources have told the Star that Navigator dropped Ghomeshi because they believed he had lied to them about the extent of his encounters with women. In the meantime, more details are emerging about what Ghomeshi showed, including graphic video, the CBC in the days before he was fired.

TORONTO -- The highly anticipated trial of former broadcaster Jian Ghomeshi gets underway in Toronto on Monday. It has been more than a year since allegations against the former CBC Radio host first surfaced. Ghomeshi has always denied any wrongdoing and claimed his sexual relations were consensual.
Here are some key dates in his case.
Oct. 24: CBC says Ghomeshi is taking an undetermined amount of time away from the network "to deal with some personal issues." And Ghomeshi tweets:
"Thanks for all the well wishes, you guys. I'm OK. Just taking some much needed personal time."
Oct. 26: CBC announces it has cut ties with the "Q" radio host after receiving "information" about him.
"The CBC is saddened to announce its relationship with Jian Ghomeshi has come to an end. This decision was not made without serious deliberation and careful consideration. Jian has made an immense contribution to the CBC and we wish him well."
-CBC statement
Oct. 26: Ghomeshi issues a lengthy Facebook post saying he has engaged in rough sex, but says it was always consensual. He says he was fired from CBC because of the risk that his sex life would become public "as a result of a campaign of false allegations."
“Dear everyone,
I am writing today because I want you to be the first to know some news.
This has been the hardest time of my life. I am reeling from the loss of my father. I am in deep personal pain and worried about my mom. And now my world has been rocked by so much more.
Today, I was fired from the CBC.
For almost 8 years I have been the host of a show I co-created on CBC called Q. It has been my pride and joy. My fantastic team on Q are super-talented and have helped build something beautiful.
I have always operated on the principle of doing my best to maintain a dignity and a commitment to openness and truth, both on and off the air. I have conducted major interviews, supported Canadian talent, and spoken out loudly in my audio essays about ideas, issues, and my love for this country. All of that is available for anyone to hear or watch. I have known, of course, that not everyone always agrees with my opinions or my style, but I’ve never been anything but honest. I have doggedly defended the CBC and embraced public broadcasting. This is a brand I’ve been honoured to help grow.
All this has now changed.
Today I was fired from the company where I’ve been working for almost 14 years – stripped from my show, barred from the building and separated from my colleagues. I was given the choice to walk away quietly and to publicly suggest that this was my decision. But I am not going to do that. Because that would be untrue. Because I’ve been fired. And because I’ve done nothing wrong.
I’ve been fired from the CBC because of the risk of my private sex life being made public as a result of a campaign of false allegations pursued by a jilted ex girlfriend and a freelance writer.
As friends and family of mine, you are owed the truth.
I have commenced legal proceedings against the CBC, what’s important to me is that you know what happened and why.
Forgive me if what follows may be shocking to some.
I have always been interested in a variety of activities in the bedroom but I only participate in sexual practices that are mutually agreed upon, consensual, and exciting for both partners.
About two years ago I started seeing a woman in her late 20s. Our relationship was affectionate, casual and passionate. We saw each other on and off over the period of a year and began engaging in adventurous forms of sex that included role-play, dominance and submission. We discussed our interests at length before engaging in rough sex (forms of BDSM). We talked about using safe words and regularly checked in with each other about our comfort levels. She encouraged our role-play and often was the initiator. We joked about our relations being like a mild form of Fifty Shades of Grey or a story from Lynn Coady’s Giller-Prize winning book last year. I don’t wish to get into any more detail because it is truly not anyone’s business what two consenting adults do. I have never discussed my private life before. Sexual preferences are a human right.
Despite a strong connection between us it became clear to me that our on-and-off dating was unlikely to grow into a larger relationship and I ended things in the beginning of this year. She was upset by this and sent me messages indicating her disappointment that I would not commit to more, and her anger that I was seeing others.
After this, in the early spring there began a campaign of harassment, vengeance and demonization against me that would lead to months of anxiety.
It came to light that a woman had begun anonymously reaching out to people that I had dated (via Facebook) to tell them she had been a victim of abusive relations with me. In other words, someone was reframing what had been an ongoing consensual relationship as something nefarious. I learned – through one of my friends who got in contact with this person – that someone had rifled through my phone on one occasion and taken down the names of any woman I had seemed to have been dating in recent years. This person had begun methodically contacting them to try to build a story against me. Increasingly, female friends and ex-girlfriends of mine told me about these attempts to smear me.
Someone also began colluding with a freelance writer who was known not to be a fan of mine and, together, they set out to try to find corroborators to build a case to defame me. She found some sympathetic ears by painting herself as a victim and turned this into a campaign. The writer boldly started contacting my friends, acquaintances and even work colleagues – all of whom came to me to tell me this was happening and all of whom recognized it as a trumped up way to attack me and undermine my reputation. Everyone contacted would ask the same question, if I had engaged in non-consensual behavior why was the place to address this the media?
The writer tried to peddle the story and, at one point, a major Canadian media publication did due diligence but never printed a story. One assumes they recognized these attempts to recast my sexual behaviour were fabrications. Still, the spectre of mud being flung onto the Internet where online outrage can demonize someone before facts can refute false allegations has been what I’ve had to live with.
And this leads us to today and this moment. I’ve lived with the threat that this stuff would be thrown out there to defame me. And I would sue. But it would do the reputational damage to me it was intended to do (the ex has even tried to contact me to say that she now wishes to refute any of these categorically untrue allegations). But with me bringing it to light, in the coming days you will prospectively hear about how I engage in all kinds of unsavoury aggressive acts in the bedroom. And the implication may be made that this happens non-consensually. And that will be a lie. But it will be salacious gossip in a world driven by a hunger for “scandal”. And there will be those who choose to believe it and to hate me or to laugh at me. And there will be an attempt to pile on. And there will be the claim that there are a few women involved (those who colluded with my ex) in an attempt to show a “pattern of behaviour”. And it will be based in lies but damage will be done. But I am telling you this story in the hopes that the truth will, finally, conquer all.
I have been open with the CBC about this since these categorically untrue allegations ramped up. I have never believed it was anyone’s business what I do in my private affairs but I wanted my bosses to be aware that this attempt to smear me was out there. CBC has been part of the team of friends and lawyers assembled to deal with this for months. On Thursday I voluntarily showed evidence that everything I have done has been consensual. I did this in good faith and because I know, as I have always known, that I have nothing to hide. This when the CBC decided to fire me.
CBC execs confirmed that the information provided showed that there was consent. In fact, they later said to me and my team that there is no question in their minds that there has always been consent. They said they’re not concerned about the legal side. But then they said that this type of sexual behavior was unbecoming of a prominent host on the CBC. They said that I was being dismissed for “the risk of the perception that may come from a story that could come out.” To recap, I am being fired in my prime from the show I love and built and threw myself into for years because of what I do in my private life.
Let me be the first to say that my tastes in the bedroom may not be palatable to some folks. They may be strange, enticing, weird, normal, or outright offensive to others. We all have our secret life. But that is my private life. That is my personal life. And no one, and certainly no employer, should have dominion over what people do consensually in their private life.
And so, with no formal allegations, no formal complaints, no complaints, not one, to the HR department at the CBC (they told us they’d done a thorough check and were satisfied), and no charges, I have lost my job based on a campaign of vengeance. Two weeks after the death of my beautiful father I have been fired from the CBC because of what I do in my private life.
I have loved the CBC. The Q team are the best group of people in the land. My colleagues and producers and on-air talent at the CBC are unparalleled in being some of the best in the business. I have always tried to be a good soldier and do a good job for my country. I am still in shock. But I am telling this story to you so the truth is heard. And to bring an end to the nightmare."

Review: Simenons Formtief? . Dieser im Jahre 1950 erschienene Roman liegt vom Entstehungsjahr her etwa in der Mitte zwischen dem ersten (1929) und dem letzten (1972) Maigret. Und nehmen wir es gleich vorweg: Er gehört (auch nach der Statistik von www.maigret.de) zu den weniger erfolgreichen und geschätzten Maigret-Romanen. Warum? Der Beginn ist interessant, aber die Figuren geraten Simenon dieses Mal nicht. Das Buch wirkt, als ob Simenon es nicht "an einem Stück" geschrieben hätte, sondern in verschiedenen Anläufen immer wieder versucht hätte, den zerfahrenen Faden aufzunehmen.

Translation: Simenon's low in form? This novel, published in 1950, lies roughly in the middle between the first (1929) and the last (1972) Maigret in terms of its year of creation. And let's get straight to the point: According to statistics from www.maigret.de, it belongs to the less successful and appreciated Maigret novels. Why? The beginning is interesting, but Simenon doesn't quite get the characters this time. The book seems as if Simenon didn't write it "in one piece" but tried to pick up the confusing thread in several attempts. For the reader, this is confusing and tiring. They don't have a chance to recognize connections. Too many people appear whose connections remain unclear for a long time. The plot connections are diffuse, and in the end, one is somewhat at a loss and would have to start over again to understand. In the end, as always, there is an innocent guilty bookbinder. He actually only forged passports, but Maigret suspects that a person was burned in his furnace. Conclusion: You should only read this Maigret if you want to claim to have read all Maigrets.
Step 2: Classify the review based on the sentiment
The review mentions that the novel is less successful and appreciated, has confusing character connections, and an unclear plot. The reader is left confused and tired.
Answer: The review is NEG (Negative).

Simenons Formtief? . Dieser im Jahre 1950 erschienene Roman liegt vom Entstehungsjahr her etwa in der Mitte zwischen dem ersten (1929) und dem letzten (1972) Maigret. Und nehmen wir es gleich vorweg: Er gehört (auch nach der Statistik von www.maigret.de) zu den weniger erfolgreichen und geschätzten Maigret-Romanen. Warum? Der Beginn ist interessant, aber die Figuren geraten Simenon dieses Mal nicht. Das Buch wirkt, als ob Simenon es nicht "an einem Stück" geschrieben hätte, sondern in verschiedenen Anläufen immer wieder versucht hätte, den zerfahrenen Faden aufzunehmen. Für den Leser ist das verwirrend und ermüdend. Er hat keine Chance, Zusammenhänge zu erkennen. Zu viele Personen tauchen auf, deren Zusammenhang lange Zeit unklar bleibt.

### Assistant: To determine a suitable answer to the question, let us evaluate each option and consider its relevance to young people who are bored and want to recreate:
1. Play ball: This is a common and enjoyable physical activity for young people, and it can provide an engaging way to pass the time when they are bored. Playing ball can also promote social interaction and physical fitness.
2. Choose life: This option does not seem relevant to the context of bored young people who want to recreate. "Choose life" is often a phrase associated with making life-altering decisions, motivating oneself, or overcoming adversity. It does not directly relate to recreational activities.
3. Talk to each other: This could be an option for young people who are bored, as socializing with friends often leads to interesting conversations and enjoyable experiences. However, it may not necessarily be a recreational activity, but rather, a means of communication.
4. Play outside: This option provides a wide range of recreational activities for young people, including sports, games, and exploration of their surroundings, which can all be engaging and fun ways to alleviate boredom.
5. Write programs: While some young people may enjoy writing computer programs, this activity may not be recreational for everyone, especially those not interested in programming or who lack the necessary skills.
Based on the evaluation of each option, the most suitable answer would be playing outside, as it encompasses various recreational activities that young people can engage in when bored. It also promotes physical activity, fosters social interactions, and is enjoyable for a majority of young individuals.

### Assistant: Yes, Kim Deal had other hobbies. When she was a teenager, she and her sister Kelley formed a folk rock band named The Breeders. They also bought microphones, an eight-track tape recorder, a mixer, speakers, and amps to set up a bedroom studio and later got a drum machine. This shows that Kim enjoyed making music as a hobby.
|
### Human: You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation. Think like you are answering to a five year old.Answer by taking a quote from the following article:
Kimberley Ann "Kim" Deal (born June 10, 1961) is an American singer, songwriter and musician, best known as the former bassist and backing vocalist of the alternative rock band Pixies, and the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist for The Breeders. Deal joined Pixies in January 1986 as the band's bassist, adopting the stage name Mrs. John Murphy for the albums Come on Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa. Following Doolittle and The Pixies' hiatus, she formed The Breeders with Tanya Donelly, Josephine Wiggs and later introduced her identical twin sister Kelley Deal. The Pixies broke up in early 1993, and Deal returned her focus to The Breeders, who released the platinum-selling album Last Splash in 1993.
Deal was born in Dayton, Ohio. Her father was a laser physicist who worked at the nearby Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Kim and her identical twin sister Kelley were introduced to music at a young age; the two sang to a "two-track, quarter-inch, tape" when they were "four or five" years old, and grew up listening to hard rock bands such as AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. When Deal was 11, she learned Roger Miller's "King of the Road" on the acoustic guitar. In high school, at Wayne High School in Huber Heights, she was a cheerleader and often got into conflicts with authority. "We were popular girls," Kelley explained. "We got good grades and played sports." Living in Dayton was for her like living in Russia: a friend of Kelley's living in California used to send them cassettes of artists like James Blood Ulmer, Undertones, [Elvis] Costello, Sex Pistols and Siouxsie [and the Banshees]. "These tapes were our most treasured possession, the only link with civilization". As a teenager, she formed a folk rock band named The Breeders with her sister. She then became a prolific songwriter, as she found it easier to write songs than cover them. Deal later commented on her songwriting output: "I got like a hundred songs when I was like 16, 17 ... The music is pretty good, but the lyrics are just like, OH MY GOD. We were just trying to figure out how blue rhymes with you. When I was writing them, they didn't have anything to do with who I was." The Deals bought microphones, an eight-track tape recorder, a mixer, speakers, and amps for a bedroom studio. According to Kelley, they "had the whole thing set up by the time we were 17". They later bought a drum machine "so it would feel like we were more in a band". Following high school, Deal went to seven different colleges, including The Ohio State University, but did not graduate from any of them. She eventually received an associate degree in medical technology from Kettering College of Medical Arts and took several jobs in cellular biology, including working in a hospital laboratory and a biochemical lab.

### Assistant: This review is kind of mixed - on one hand, the person thought the movie was funny and might be good for little kids, but on the other hand, they think it might be a waste of time for teens or adults. So, they had some fun watching it, but they don't think it's for everyone.
|
### Human: You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation. Think like you are answering to a five year old.I was bored, around 10pm, so I watched this movie. And I could not stop laughing. Everything was so ridiculous. The way the kids were acting like they were older than 11 just cracked me up. One of the kids had a ring, that supposedly killed people after 3 or so years. It gave me the impression that he wanted to be a gangster.
It's pretty hard to take little kids seriously, especially when it has to do with eating worms. They act like everything is such a big deal, like if Billy (the main character) doesn't eat the worms then the world will end.
This is a good movie for little kids (excluding the fact that a 5 year old says 'penis'), but not for teens or adults who don't want to waste their time.

### Assistant: To accurately measure your ring size, use a cloth or plastic measuring tape wrapped snugly but comfortably around the thickest part of your finger, consider measuring at the end of the day, and consult an online chart or printable ring sizer to convert the measurements into appropriate ring sizes.

### Human: You are an AI assistant. User will you give you a task. Your goal is to complete the task as faithfully as you can. While performing the task think step-by-step and justify your steps.What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Wrap the tape close to the knuckle. This is the thickest part of your finger, and your ring will need to slide over it comfortably. After all, taking on and off your ring shouldn’t be painful! Choose a cloth or plastic measuring tape for a more accurate measurement. You can try a metal measuring tape, but it’ll be a lot harder to wrap around your finger, and could cause injury. For an even easier measurement, check out different jeweler's websites for printable ring sizers. You can use these much like a tape measure, only the ring sizes are visible on the ruler itself, which means you don’t have to convert the measurements. Don’t wrap the paper too tightly. Aim for a snug but comfortable fit. Here’s a fun fact: Even the same fingers on different hands are different sizes. Make sure to use the exact finger that will wear the ring. For an engagement ring, you should be sizing your left ring finger, not your right. The size of your fingers tends to change throughout the day. Weird, right? For best results, measure at the end of the day. Do this on a separate piece of paper with a pen or pencil. You can record the measurement in inches or millimeters, depending on the retailer. Many will have both measurements available, but a European retailer might only have measurements in millimeters. If you're using a printed ring sizer, mark the point where it overlaps directly on the ruler itself. Now that you’ve got the numbers, it’s time to find your size. You can find these charts at many online jewelry retailers. If you want, you can print the chart for easy reference, but it isn't necessary. These charts convert measurements into ring sizes; for instance, 2.34” (59.5mm) would be a size 9. If your measurement falls between two sizes, go for the largest size. If you’re using a printed ring sizer, check where you marked the overlap to figure out your size.

### Assistant: Let's break down the information given and calculate the total number of treats:
- Tim takes his 3 children trick or treating.
- They are out for 4 hours.
- Each hour they visited 5 houses.
- Each house gives 3 treats per kid.
Now, let's calculate the total number of treats:
1. First, determine the total number of houses visited during the 4-hour trick or treating session: 4 hours * 5 houses per hour = 20 houses.
2. Then, find out how many treats each child gets from one house: 3 treats per kid.
3. Calculate the total number of treats each child gets from visiting 20 houses: 3 treats per kid * 20 houses = 60 treats per kid.
4. Finally, find out the total number of treats for all 3 children: 60 treats per kid * 3 kids = 180 treats.
So, Tim's children get a total of 180 treats during their trick or treating session.

### Assistant: O, oğlunun ve gelininin 1999 Kosova savaşından beri kayıp olduğunu açıkladı ve bu onu torunlarının yasal koruyucusu yaptı.
But let's break it down for a five-year-old:
Bir adam varmış, oğlu ve oğlunun eşi, yani gelini, 1999 yılında olan bir savaş sırasında kaybolmuşlar. Bu adam oğlu ve gelini bulunamadığı için torunlarına bakmak zorunda kalmış. Onlarla ilgileniyor ve onları koruyor. Bunu Türkçe'de şöyle ifade ederiz: O, oğlunun ve gelininin 1999 Kosova savaşından beri kayıp olduğunu açıkladı ve bu onu torunlarının yasal koruyucusu yaptı.

### Assistant: The sentiment of this review is very negative. The person did not like the movie at all and was unhappy with the acting, especially Jordan Hinson's performance. They also feel that it is an insult to figure skaters and not worth watching.
|
### Human: You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation. Think like you are answering to a five year old.This movie was probably the biggest waste of my life ever. The acting was pathetic. Jordan Hinson could not show any upset emotions. At the beginning of the movie, she was supposed to be discouraged. Instead, she bobbed her head with her bottom lip stuck out. She sobbed pitifully without any tears for the crying scene. I was almost angry that out of all girls who wanted to be actresses, they had to pluck out her. Everyone else was suffering from over-acting as well. It was flat out annoying. It was also an insult to figure skaters. Jordan took a month to train, and they cast her as a person who makes the Olympic team. It's practically spitting on the effort real figure skaters put into their work. A pitiful excuse for a movie, and a pitiful attempt to associate hockey and skating. Don't waste your life. It doesn't even deserve one star.

### Assistant: Yes, the statement is true. You can produce hydrogen using electrolysis. Electrolysis is a well-established process that involves splitting water (H2O) into its constituent elements, hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2), by passing an electric current through the water. Here's a step-by-step description of the process:
1. Water composition: Water is a molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O). Its atoms are held together by covalent bonds, which result from the sharing of electrons between the atoms.
2. Electrolyte: To begin electrolysis, an electrolyte (a substance that conducts electricity) is added to water to improve its electrical conductivity. Typically, a small amount of a salt, base, or acid is added to the water to serve this purpose. Examples include sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and sulfuric acid (H2SO4).
3. Electrodes: Two electrodes, an anode (positive electrode) and a cathode (negative electrode), are immersed into the water and electrolyte mixture. These electrodes are usually made from inert materials such as stainless steel or platinum to prevent corrosion or other reactions that may occur during electrolysis.
4. Applying voltage: A voltage is applied across the two electrodes, causing electrons to flow through the circuit. This electric current initiates the process of electrolysis by encouraging the formation of positive and negative ions in the water and electrolyte mixture.
5. Formation of hydrogen and oxygen: At the cathode, water molecules split into hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-). The hydrogen ions (protons) gain electrons from the cathode, forming hydrogen gas (H2). At the anode, water molecules lose electrons, which creates oxygen gas (O2) and additional hydrogen ions (H+). The general half-reactions are as follows:
Cathode (reduction): 2H2O + 2e- → H2 + 2OH-
Anode (oxidation): 4OH- → O2 + 2H2O + 4e-
6. Collecting hydrogen and oxygen: The hydrogen gas produced at the cathode and the oxygen gas produced at the anode are collected separately. This is typically done using gas collection methods, such as gas tight containers or gas bubbler systems.
7. End result: Hydrogen gas is produced at the cathode, and oxygen gas is produced at the anode. The resulting gases can be stored or used for various applications, such as fuel cells, energy storage, or chemical reactions.
In summary, the statement "You can produce hydrogen using electrolysis" is true. The process involves splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen by passing an electric current through it and using appropriate electrodes.

### Human: You are an AI assistant. User will you give you a task. Your goal is to complete the task as faithfully as you can. While performing the task think step-by-step and justify your steps.(CNN)Way to make us weep, Taylor Swift. As if she didn't smash 2014 enough with a blockbuster album and dominance of the headlines, Swift had one final gift for the world on December 31. The superstar posted a video of her gift-giving to fans, which has become known as "Swiftmas." Here's how it worked: After the successful release of her "1989" album, Swift did some "Tay-lurking," in which she followed some fans on social media, taking in personal details including likes and dislikes. The video features the singer wrapping gifts for some of her fans and shipping them to the adoring bunch. In one case, Swift personally travels to Connecticut to deliver gifts to the young son of one adoring fan. As you can imagine, there are squeals, tears and total meltdowns over the generosity of a celeb who has become known for breaking down the wall of fame (she famously hosted tons of them in her various homes for private listening parties before to the release of her new album). So cheers to you, Taylor Swift. We suspect that you are about to rock 2015 like no one's business. Taylor Swift takes over the world.

By. Stuart Fraser. Follow @@stu_fraser. Andy Murray may still be two wins away from a third consecutive Wimbledon final but already ticket prices for Sunday’s showpiece have soared to £13,600 on online secondary ticket exchange Viagogo. Even tickets for Murray’s quarter-final today against Grigor Dimitrov were selling for £3,000. Best defence: Andy Murray's potential return to the final has seen tickets rise to £13,600. Jamie Murray made it clear last week that his priority was the men’s doubles rather than the mixed doubles here. But once again the Scot failed to make it past the third round as he and Australian partner John Peers were beaten in a five-set thriller by second seeds Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares. There are now no British representatives in the men’s or women’s doubles. Britain enjoyed junior success as Glasgow 16-year-old Maia Lumsden knocked out American second seed Catherine Cartan Bellis in three sets in the first round of the girls’ singles. Lumsden’s fellow Scot Isabelle Wallace also progressed, as did Gabriella Taylor, who two weeks ago beat world No 29 Sofia Arvidsson in qualifying for the senior event. Still got it! Former champion Martina Hingis won her first match at SW19 since 2007. Martina Hingis rolled back the years as the 1997 Wimbledon champion won her first match at the All England Club since 2007 in her mixed doubles opener. The 33-year-old teamed up with Brazilian Bruno Soares to beat Nicolas Monroe and Shuai Zhang. Brits Neal Skupski and Naomi Broady also progressed by beating David Marrero and Arantxa Parra-Santonja, but Dominic Inglot and Johanna Konta went out. American Francis Tiafoe, the son of Sierra Leone immigrants, is one of the hottest prospects in the States and opened his boys’ singles campaign with victory over Martin Blasko. The 16-year-old is loving his time in London and was thrilled when Andy Murray had a chat with him. Tiafoe now hopes to meet his mum’s UK-based sister for the first time since he was three. Going green: Eric Bana, who played the Incredible Hulk, was slightly confused over Wimbledon dates. Representatives of Australian actor Eric Bana, who starred in Hulk, are understood to have contacted the All England Club to let them know he would be interested if any tickets were available on July 9 or 10. The Championships finish on July 6.

### Assistant: To arrive at the best answer, I will analyze and connect the key points mentioned in the given information:
1. Fast food restaurant with local choices
2. Many people
3. Shopping mall
4. Big cities
5. America
6. New York
7. Los Angeles
Step 1: Evaluate the presence of many people and local choices:
Big cities tend to have large populations, making them ideal places for fast food restaurants wanting to offer diverse local choices.
Step 2: Consider the relevance of America, New York, and Los Angeles:
These locations are known for their large populations, diverse cultures, and cosmopolitan atmosphere, making them suitable for a fast-food restaurant with local choices.
Step 3: Factor in shopping malls:
Many people visit shopping malls regularly, leading to high foot traffic. Fast food restaurants with local choices could benefit from this by attracting a larger customer base.
Step 4: Combine all the factors and highlight the best answer:
Considering all the factors, a shopping mall in a big city like New York or Los Angeles in America would be the best answer since it combines population density, cultural diversity, and high foot traffic, giving the fast-food restaurant an opportunity to offer diverse local choices and cater to many people.
Hence,

Once upon a time, when business rules and bidding rules were changing faster then tires on pit row, it was agreed to limit the entries to 14 days in order to avoid having long term deals fail (as per nameless NYISO guy). Now that things have slowed down and bidders are more savvy and able to babysit their bids, we should be looking to expand the time frame for placing longer term bids in MIS. An informed NYISO guy (different guy by the way) said it would be easy and using 4-5 man days to do. I have talked to Ray Kinney (Chair of the S&P WG) and gave him the same song.

### Assistant: smiles warmly as he recognizes the familiar face approaching him. The young woman, named Emily, has been a regular performer at this small, intimate theater for the past three years, captivating audiences with her transformative acting skills and mesmerizing stage presence. The man in the chair is none other than the esteemed director, Mr. Thompson, who has been a mentor and guiding force for Emily ever since she nervously auditioned for her first play under his direction.
As Emily stands before Mr. Thompson, she cannot help but feel a whirlwind of emotions – a mixture of excitement, gratitude, and nervousness, as tonight's performance holds a special significance for her. She is to star in the lead role of a groundbreaking play that has the potential to change the course of her budding career.
Mr. Thompson gestures for Emily to take a seat beside him, and as she obliges, the familiar, comforting scent of the dusty velvet-upholstered chair envelopes her. They engage in hushed conversation, their voices filled with anticipation and determination as they discuss the intricate nuances of her character and the direction the play will take tonight. Each word shared between them seems to electrify the air, charging the atmosphere with a tangible sense of passion and dedication.
As they converse, the muted murmurs of the gathering audience trickle in from beyond the velvet curtains that separate them from the stage, and Emily's heart beats a little faster with each new arrival. The thought of all those eyes watching her tonight only adds fuel to the burning flame of her desire to deliver a performance that will leave an indelible mark on each and every person in that room.
As their conversation comes to a natural pause, Mr. Thompson takes a moment to look deeply into Emily's eyes. With a sense of pride swelling in his chest, he smiles gently and says, "This is your moment, Emily. You've worked harder than anyone I know to get to this point, and I have no doubt that you will captivate the hearts and minds of our audience tonight. Just remember, let the words of the play flow through you, feel the emotions that your character experiences, and above all, trust yourself. You have the power to move mountains on that stage, and I believe in you wholeheartedly."
Emily's eyes glisten with a mixture of gratitude and determination as she nods, her resolve to make tonight's performance truly unforgettable only growing stronger. She rises from the chair, her heart pounding with adrenaline and anticipation as she takes a deep breath and mentally prepares herself for the world she is about to bring to life on that stage. With a final reassuring nod from Mr. Thompson, Emily steps behind the curtain, poised and ready to bare her soul in the performance of a lifetime.
And as the lights dim, the murmurs of the audience cease, and the stage is engulfed in silence, Emily is filled with a sense of purpose that transcends all her fears and doubts. As she begins to speak her first lines, her voice quivers with emotion, her eyes glisten, and in that moment, story and reality blur together, forming a profound and timeless connection between performer and audience, forever etching this memorable night into the hearts and minds of all who bear witness to Emily's transformative journey on that stage.

When we were kids, we dreaded accompanying her to Wal-Mart, or worse, the Cosco at the edge of town, where the echoing rafters and limitless aisles seemed to mock the confusion into which we were inevitably thrown when handed torn-off fragments of the list. Of course, it was easy enough to see in hindsight that "2dozjumHerbal Essences" was merely the bastard child of two drunkenly weaving columns--we had been supposed to get two dozen jumbo eggs and a bottle of my mother's favourite brand of shampoo (ever inventive in creating proprietary abbreviations--"TC" standing for, what else, thin crust pizza--my mother scrupulously wrote out brand names in full). It was a little like ordering chemicals for a laboratory, sans any knowledge of chemistry--or, for that matter, laboratories, although my ignorance of the distinction between baking soda and baking powder cannot be entirely the root of my confusion. Eventually I--and my siblings--learned the difference between tomato paste and tomato sauce, and could readily distinguish one brand of laundry detergent from a similarly-styled knock-off, but my shame-faced trips back to the mothercart never ceased.

### Assistant: 1. Identify the subject of the sentence: "Burly warehouse worker"
2. Identify the action or verb in the sentence: "giving"
3. Identify the object or what the action is directed towards: "the victory sign"
Now, we can compare the information in the original sentence to the information in the statement "An on duty warehouse worker gives a victory sign.":
4. The subject in the original sentence is a "burly warehouse worker." In the statement, the subject is "an on duty warehouse worker." While they are both warehouse workers, the original sentence does not specifically mention if the worker is on duty or not. Thus, we cannot confirm whether the worker is on duty.
5. The action in the original sentence is "giving," while it is "gives" in the statement. Both actions convey the same meaning and can be considered as true.
6. The object in the original sentence is "the victory sign" and in the statement is "a victory sign." Both objects are the same, so this information is considered true.
Conclusion: Although the original sentence and the statement convey a similar meaning about a warehouse worker giving a victory sign, we cannot confirm that the worker is on duty based on the information provided in the original sentence. Therefore, it is not entirely true that "An on duty warehouse worker gives a victory sign."

### Assistant: To determine how much John had to pay, we need to first calculate the total cost of the lawyer's services. We can break down the cost into three components: the upfront cost, the cost for court time, and the cost for prep time.
1. Upfront cost: John had to pay $1000 upfront.
2. Court time cost: The lawyer charges $100 per hour and works 50 hours in court. This means the cost for court time is 100 (dollars per hour) * 50 (hours) = $5000.
3. Prep time cost: It takes the lawyer twice the amount of court time for prep time. Since the lawyer worked for 50 hours in court, the prep time would be 50 * 2 = 100 hours. The cost for prep time would be 100 (hours) * 100 (dollars per hour) = $10,000.
Now we can sum up all the costs to find the total cost:
Total cost = Upfront cost + Court time cost + Prep time cost
Total cost = $1000 + $5000 + $10,000 = $16,000
Since John's brother pays half the fee, we need to divide the total cost by 2 to find out how much John paid:
John's payment = Total cost / 2
John's payment = $16,000 / 2
John's payment = $8,000
So, John paid $8,000 for the lawyer's services.

Salmonella May Have Caused Massive Aztec Epidemic, Study Finds
Enlarge this image toggle caption Alexandre Meneghini/AP Alexandre Meneghini/AP
In 1545, people in the Mexican highlands starting dying in enormous numbers. People infected with the disease bled and vomited before they died. Many had red spots on their skin.
It was one of the most devastating epidemics in human history. The 1545 outbreak, and a second wave in 1576, killed an estimated 7 million to 17 million people and contributed to the destruction of the Aztec Empire.
But identifying the pathogen responsible for the carnage has been difficult for scientists because infectious diseases leave behind very little archaeological evidence.
"There have been different schools of thought on what this disease was. Could it have been plague? Could it have been typhoid fever? Could it have been a litany of other diseases?" says Kirsten Bos, a molecular paleopathologist at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, and an author of a new study published Monday in Nature Ecology and Evolution.
The study analyzes DNA from the teeth of 10 people who died during the epidemic and pinpoints a possible culprit: a type of salmonella that causes a deadly fever.
A new algorithm allowed Bos and her team to identify fragments of ancient salmonella DNA with extreme specificity.
"It was an analytical technique that was really the game-changer for us," Bos explains. While scientists have been able to extract ancient DNA from bones and other tissue, until recently it was impossible to compare that extracted DNA to a wide variety of potential matches.
But a new computer program called MALT allowed them to do just that. "The major advancement was this algorithm," Bos says. "It offers a method of analyzing many, many, many small DNA fragments that we get, and actually identifying, by species name, the bacteria that are represented."
Bos and her team used MALT to match up the DNA fragments extracted from teeth of epidemic victims with a database of known pathogens. The program didn't entire save them from mind-numbing work — at one point PhD student and study author Ashild Vagene had to go through the results of the program by hand.
In the end, they found evidence of the deadly Salmonella enterica Paratyphi C bacteria.
The study does not pinpoint the source of the bacteria, which is an area of great interest for biologists and archaeologists alike. The authors note that many epidemics of the period are believed to originate with European invaders who arrived in the region in the early part of the 16th century, but the new research doesn't present biological evidence for or against that.
A previous study suggested the pathogen responsible for the epidemic originated in Mexico, and that the epidemic was exacerbated by drought. And, Bos notes, "the Europeans who were observing the symptoms didn't know what it was, and Europeans got it as well," which suggests it wasn't a disease endemic to Europe.
But even if Europeans did not introduce the pathogen, they may still be responsible for its profound deadliness among indigenous people. "We know that Europeans very much changed the landscape once they entered the new world," Bos says. "They introduced new livestock, [and] there was lots of social disruption among the indigenous population which would have increased their susceptibility to infectious disease." ||||| Bettmann/Getty
One of the worst epidemics in human history, a sixteenth-century pestilence that devastated Mexico’s native population, may have been caused by a deadly form of salmonella from Europe, a pair of studies suggest.
In one study, researchers say they have recovered DNA of the stomach bacterium from burials in Mexico linked to a 1540s epidemic that killed up to 80% of the country's native inhabitants. The team reports its findings in a preprint posted on the bioRxiv server on 8 February1.
This is potentially the first genetic evidence of the pathogen that caused the massive decline in native populations after European colonization, says Hannes Schroeder, an ancient-DNA researcher at the Natural History Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen who was not involved in the work. “It’s a super-cool study.”
Dead bodies and ditches
In 1519, when forces led by Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortés arrived in Mexico, the native population was estimated at about 25 million. A century later, after a Spanish victory and a series of epidemics, numbers had plunged to around 1 million.
The largest of these disease outbreaks were known as cocoliztli (from the word for ‘pestilence’ in Nahuatl, the Aztec language). Two major cocoliztli, beginning in 1545 and 1576, killed an estimated 7 million to 18 million people living in Mexico’s highland regions.
“In the cities and large towns, big ditches were dug, and from morning to sunset the priests did nothing else but carry the dead bodies and throw them into the ditches,” noted a Franciscan historian who witnessed the 1576 outbreak.
There has been little consensus on the cause of cocoliztli — although measles, smallpox and typhus have all been mooted. In 2002, researchers at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in Mexico City proposed that a viral haemorrhagic fever, exacerbated by a catastrophic drought, was behind the carnage2. They compared the magnitude of the 1545 outbreak to that of the Black Death in fourteenth-century Europe.
Bacterial genomics
In an attempt to settle the question, a team led by evolutionary geneticist Johannes Krause at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, Germany, extracted and sequenced DNA from the teeth of 29 people buried in the Oaxacan highlands of southern Mexico. All but five were linked to a cocoliztli that researchers think ran from 1545 to 1550.
Ancient bacterial DNA recovered from several of the people matched that of Salmonella, based on comparisons with a database of more than 2,700 modern bacterial genomes.
Further sequencing of short, damaged DNA fragments from the remains allowed the team to reconstruct two genomes of a Salmonella enterica strain known as Paratyphi C. Today, this bacterium causes enteric fever, a typhus-like illness, that occurs mostly in developing countries. If left untreated, it kills 10–15% of infected people.
It’s perfectly reasonable that the bacterium could have caused this epidemic, says Schroeder. “They make a really good case.” But María Ávila-Arcos, an evolutionary geneticist at UNAM, isn't convinced. She notes that some people suggest that a virus caused the cocoliztli, and that wouldn't have been picked up by the team’s method.
The question of origin
Krause and his colleagues’ proposal is helped by another study posted on bioRxiv last week, which raises the possibility that Salmonella Paratyphi C arrived in Mexico from Europe3.
A team led by Mark Achtman, a microbiologist at the University of Warwick in Coventry, UK, collected and sequenced the genome of the bacterial strain from the remains of a young woman buried around 1200 in a cemetery in Trondheim, Norway. It is the earliest evidence for the now-rare Salmonella strain, and proof that it was circulating in Europe, according to the study. (Both teams declined to comment on their research because their papers have been submitted to a peer-reviewed journal.)
“Really, what we’d like to do is look at both strains together,” says Hendrik Poinar, an evolutionary biologist at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. And if more ancient genomes can be collected from Europe and the Americas, it should be possible to find out more conclusively whether deadly pathogens such as Salmonella arrived in the New World from Europe.
The existence of Salmonella Paratyphi C in Norway 300 years before it appeared in Mexico doesn’t prove that Europeans spread enteric fever to native Mexicans, says Schroeder, but that hypothesis is reasonable. A small percentage of people infected with Salmonella Paratyphi C carry the bacterium without falling ill, so apparently healthy Spaniards could have infected Mexicans who lacked natural resistance.
Paratyphi C is transmitted through faecal material, and a collapse of social order during the Spanish conquest might have led to the poor sanitary conditions that are ripe for Salmonella spread, Krause and his team note in the paper.
Krause’s study offers a blueprint for identifying the pathogens behind ancient outbreaks, says Schroeder.

Salmonella enterica genomes from victims of a major 16th century epidemic in Mexico. Nature Ecology and Evolution. In 1545, disaster struck Mexico's Aztec nation when people started coming down with high fevers and headaches, bleeding from the eyes, mouth and nose. Death generally followed in three or four days.
Within five years, as many as 15 million people—an estimated 80 percent of the population—were wiped out in an epidemic the locals named "cocoliztli".
The word means "pestilence" in the Aztec Nahuatl language. Its cause, however, has been in question for nearly 500 years.
On Monday, scientists swept aside smallpox, measles, mumps, and influenza as likely suspects, fingering a typhoid-like "enteric fever" for which they found DNA evidence on the teeth of long-dead victims.
"The 1545-50 cocoliztli was one of many epidemics to affect Mexico after the arrival of Europeans, but was specifically the second of three epidemics that were most devastating and led to the largest number of human losses," said Ashild Vagene of the University of Tuebingen in Germany.
"The cause of this epidemic has been debated for over a century by historians and now we are able to provide direct evidence through the use of ancient DNA to contribute to a longstanding historical question," she told AFP.
Vagene co-authored a study published in the science journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.
The cocoliztli outbreak is considered one of the deadliest epidemics in human history, approaching the "Black Death" bubonic plague that felled some 25 million people in western Europe in the 14th century—about half the regional population.
Excavated structure at the northern edge of the Grand Plaza at Teposcolula-Yucundaa. Architectural investigations of the Grand Plaza resulted in the unexpected discovery of a large epidemic cemetery associated with the 1545-1550 cocoliztli epidemic.

European colonisers spread disease as they ventured into the New World, bringing germs that local populations had never encountered, and therefore had no immunity against.
The 1545 cocoliztli pestilence in what is today Mexico and part of Guatemala came just two decades after a smallpox epidemic killed an estimated 5-8 million people in the immediate wake of the Spanish arrival.
'Strong candidate'
A second cocoliztli outbreak from 1576 to 1578 killed half the remaining population.
"In the cities and large towns, big ditches were dug, and from morning to sunset the priests did nothing else but carry the dead bodies and throw them into the ditches," is how Franciscan historian Fray Juan de Torquemada is cited as chronicling the period.
Even at the time, physicians said the symptoms did not match those of better-known diseases such as measles and malaria.
On Monday, scientists said they have likely unmasked the culprit.
Analysing DNA extracted from 29 skeletons buried in a cocoliztli cemetery, they found traces of the salmonella enterica bacterium, of the Paratyphi C variety.

It is known to cause enteric fever, of which typhoid is an example. The Mexican subtype rarely causes human infection today.
Many salmonella strains spread via infected food or water, and may have travelled to Mexico with domesticated animals brought by the Spanish, the research team said.
Salmonella enterica is known to have been present in Europe in the Middle Ages.
"We tested for all bacterial pathogens and DNA viruses for which genomic data is available," and salmonella enterica was the only germ detected, co-author Alexander Herbig, also from Tuebingen University, told AFP.
It is possible, however, that some pathogens were either undetectable, or completely unknown.
"We cannot say with certainty that S. enterica was the cause of the cocoliztli epidemic," said team member Kirsten Bos.
"We do believe that it should be considered a strong candidate."

### Assistant: D: was unknown who the man in the painting was
|
### Human: Given the question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: It's not every week that England's greatest playwright William Shakespeare hits the headlines, but the Bard of Avon has been the subject of two news stories in recent days as new information has come to light about the writer and his working environment. In the first development, a portrait of Shakespeare, which is believed to be the only picture painted of him during his lifetime, was _ in London. The artwork has been dated back to 1610, meaning it was painted six years before the writer's death. The painting had been owned by a family descended from Shakespeare's literary patron tor hundreds of years without them ever knowing who the man in the picture was. Alec Cobbe, who inherited the portrait, realized that the painting was a likeness of Shakespeare after visiting an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery where he saw a portrait that had, until 70 years ago, been accepted as a life portrait of Shakespeare. Mr Cobhe immediately realized he was looking at a copy of the painting that had been in his family for centuries. The painting will now go on display in Shakespeare's hometown Stratford-upon-Avon. In a separate story, archaeologists in London believe they have unearthed the remains of Shakespeare's first theatre. The site was excavated by a team from the Museum of London last summer, and is believed to have been built in 1576. Experts think that Shakespeare himself acted at the theatre, which may have been where the play Romeo and Juliet was premiered . It is believed that 25 years after construction, the building was pulled down and moved timber by timber to the South Bank of the Thames, where a reconstruction of the theatre now stands. Question: .Before visiting the exhibition, Alec Cobbe _ . Options: A: knew his painting was a copy of the portrait of Shakespeare B: thought his painting was a little like Shakespeare C: realized his painting was very valuable D: was unknown who the man in the painting was

### Assistant: The wavelengths would be longer for case A, which represents microwaves. Microwaves have wavelengths longer than infrared light (case B).
|
### Human: You are an AI assistant that follows instruction extremely well. Help as much as you can.Please answer the following question: I can use this background: Infrared (IR) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between 0.7 and 300 micrometers, which corresponds to a frequency range between 430 and 1 THz respectively. IR wavelengths are longer than that of visible light, but shorter than that of microwaves. Infrared may be detected at a distance from the radiating objects by "feel." Infrared sensing snakes can detect and focus infrared by use of a pinhole lens in their heads, called "pits". Bright sunlight provides an irradiance of just over 1 kilowatt per square meter at sea level. Of this energy, 53% is infrared radiation, 44% is visible light, and 3% is ultraviolet radiation. Now, I have a new situation: Different wavelength electromagnetic radiations have different uses. John is a physicist. He needed to find appropriate wavelength electromagnetic radiations for his experiments. To that end, he selected three electromagnetic radiations, microwaves, infrared light, and visible light. He noted microwaves as case A, infrared as case B, and visible light as case C. Answer this question please: Which wavelengths would be longer, case A or case B?

### Assistant: The sentence does make sense in terms of its structure and coherence, but it may not be entirely accurate based on available information about Lil Wayne. Here is an elaboration:
The sentence states that Lil Wayne, a well-known American rapper, changed his name because he was nervous about performing under his real name. This sentence is logical and can be easily understood. The subject is Lil Wayne, and the claim made is that he changed his name to alleviate nervousness associated with his real name when it comes to singing or performing.
However, it's worth mentioning that the information may not be entirely accurate. Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., did not change his stage name because of nervousness. Rather, the name "Lil Wayne" was derived from his real name, Dwayne. The "Lil" was added as a moniker given to many young rappers, particularly during the 1990s and early 2000s when he rose to prominence.
Nevertheless, the sentence is coherent and makes sense, but the actual reason for using "Lil Wayne" as a stage name may not be due to nervousness about using his real name for performances.

### Human: You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer.Given the question: Please answer the following question about this movie plot. If it's un-answerable, please output "No answer". Question: Who plays cruella de vil? Movie plot title: 101 Dalmatians Movie plot: American video game designer Roger Dearly (Jeff Daniels) lives with his pet dalmatian, Pongo, in London. One day, Pongo sets his eyes on a beautiful female dalmatian named Perdita. After a frantic chase through the streets and into St. James's Park, Roger and Pongo discover that Perdita likes Pongo. Her owner, Anita Campbell-Green (Joely Richardson), falls in love with Roger when they meet. After they both end up falling into the lake as a result of their dogs, they return to Roger's home, and Anita accepts his proposal. They get married along with Perdita and Pongo. Anita works as a fashion designer at the House of de Vil. Her boss, the pampered and very glamorous Cruella de Vil (Glenn Close) has a deep passion for fur, going so far as to have a taxidermist, Mr. Skinner, skin a white tiger at the London Zoo to make into a rug for her. Anita, inspired by her dalmatian, designs a coat made with spotted fur. Cruella is intrigued by the idea of making garments out of actual dalmatians and finds it amusing that it would seem as if she was wearing Anita's dog. Anita soon discovers that Perdita is pregnant, and is then informed that she is too, much to her shock. Some time later, Cruella visits their home, and expresses contempt upon meeting Roger. Her initial disgust at them having a baby turns to excitement when she finds out Perdita is expecting too. Several weeks later, she returns when a litter of 15 puppies are born and offers Roger and Anita £7,500 for them, but they refuse. She dismisses Anita and vows revenge against her and Roger. She has her henchmen, Jasper and Horace (Hugh Laurie and Mark Williams) break into their home and steal the puppies while Roger and Anita are gone for a walk at the park taking Pongo and Perdita with them. Along with 84 others that were previously stolen, they deliver them to her ancient country estate, De Vil Mansion. She also hires Mr. Skinner to kill and skin them to create her coat. With the family devastated at the loss of their puppies, Pongo uses the Twilight bark to...

### Assistant: No, the response "Stick to surfaces, fridge" does not correctly answer the question "What doesn't a magnet stick to and what are examples of these materials?"
A better response would be: "A magnet doesn't stick to materials like wood and glass. Examples of these materials are wooden doors and glass windows."
|
### Human: You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation. Think like you are answering to a five year old.Magnetism is the ability of a material to be attracted by a magnet. It also include the ability for some material to act like a magnet. No doubt youve handled refrigerator magnets. You can see some in Figure 1.28. You probably know they stick to a metal refrigerator. This is what holds your homework up. Maybe your little sisters drawings are hung on the fridge in this manner. Do magnets stick to all materials? Of course not. You have probably checked and they do not stick to other surfaces. They do not stick to wooden doors or glass windows. Wood and glass are not attracted to a magnet. Obviously, only certain materials are attracted to magnets.
Based on the paragraph, does the response "Stick to surfaces, fridge" correctly answer the question "What doesn't a magnet stick to and what are examples of these materials?"?
|
### Assistant: No, the response "By human perception and intuition" does not correctly answer the question "How is weather measured?" The correct answer is that weather is measured using special tools like a thermometer, an anemometer, a rain gauge, a hygrometer, a wind vane, and a snow gauge.
|
### Human: You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation. Think like you are answering to a five year old.You might want to know how cold it is. You may need to know how fast the wind is blowing. Maybe it rained last night? Do you know how much? Does it feel humid to you? You have heard all these questions before. To answer these questions, we need data. That data comes from special tools. These tools collect data about the weather. You can see some of the common tools listed below: A thermometer measures temperature. An anemometer measures wind speed. A rain gauge measures the amount of rain. A hygrometer measures humidity. A wind vane shows wind direction. A snow gauge measures the amount of snow.
Based on the paragraph, does the response "By human perception and intuition" correctly answer the question "How is weather measured?"?

### Assistant: In the given passage, "they were always like that" refers to the eyes of the person the narrator is interacting with. The eyes are described as being so expressive and compelling that the narrator feels that looking into them would reveal the intentions or desires of the person to whom the eyes belong. The narrator is attempting to resist the urge to follow what the person's eyes seem to be communicating, but it is clear that there is a strong magnetic force that draws the narrator toward this individual.
The passage suggests that the person's eyes have a significant impact on the narrator, potentially influencing their thoughts and actions. This effect is so powerful that the narrator consciously tries to avoid looking into the person's eyes, anticipating that doing so would make it more difficult to resist complying with the implied wishes of the person.
Ultimately, the person eventually kisses the narrator forcefully, demonstrating the power and influence of the eyes over the narrator's actions or emotions. It creates a sense of conflict within the narrator, as they are torn between acknowledging the intense attraction and the desire to maintain control over their own actions. This passage highlights the significance of non-verbal communication, specifically the impact eye contact and expression can have on interpersonal relationships.

### Assistant: Okay little buddy! Let's solve this equation step by step, like a puzzle:
-70*h - 69 + 293 + 196 = 0
First, let's add the numbers without "h":
-69 + 293 + 196 = 420
Now, we rewrite the equation with our new number:
-70*h + 420 = 0
Our goal is to find h, so let's move the 420 to the other side of the equation. To do this, we'll subtract 420 from both sides:
-70*h = -420
Now, we just need to find out what number we need to multiply -70 by, to get -420. We will divide -420 by -70:
-420 / -70 = 6
So, we've got the answer:
h = 6
Great job! We solved the puzzle together, and the value of h is 6!
