You may also be paying a premium to have food delivered to your door. Avoid these extra costs by buying food at the grocery store and making hearty meals at home.\n2. Use less electricity - Turn off lights when you're not in the room, open windows or use a fan instead of an electric air conditioner, and turn off the television and other electronics when they're not in use.\n3. Use the tap, don't buy bottled - Avoid purchasing numerous bottles of water unless it cannot be avoided (in the airport, for instance). Instead, drink water from the tap with the option to use a filter. Also, buy a reusable water bottle and carry it with you when you need a drink on the go.\n4. Spend less time in the shower - You can either take shorter showers or you can opt for a \"military\" shower by turning off the tap between soapings.\n5. Change your mode of transportation - If you own a vehicle and the gas is costing you too much money, consider using public transportation (bus, rail, or subway). Alternatively, you can get a bike or use another form of self-propelled transport (skateboard, push scooter, etc).\n6. Use prepaid phones - Consider switching to phone cards or prepaid phone plans for your cellular data, text, and calls to avoid making a monthly payment. Using prepaid phones allows you to only pay for the data and calls that you use.\n7. Cut the cord - Stop paying for cable or satellite dishes that add a bunch of unused channels into your bill to justify the high price. You may be paying hundreds of dollars a month for cable or satellite, but you might also be watching only a handful of the 1000+ channels offered in your monthly package. Get rid of them.\n8.

More notably, in 1840, British scientist Warren de la Rue enclosed a coiled platinum filament in a vacuum tube and passed an electric current through it.

Frankenstein's Monster Crispy Rice Treats: This is a fun dessert that is easy to make and doesn't require the use of an oven.

Leave to set in a rectangular pan, then cut into uniform rectangle shapes. Take some melted dark or milk chocolate, and dip the top part of the treat into the chocolate to resemble hair. Add edible candy eyeballs for the eyes, and use black icing to pipe on a smile and some scars. To make the recipe gluten-free, ensure that the rice cereal you're using is a gluten-free variety. \n2. Mummified Cookies: These cute cookies are easy to make. Take a sugar cookie, either store-bought or homemade. Make a simple frosting of powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk (no food coloring needed) and pipe it onto the cooled cookies in a zig-zag motion. Use candy eyeballs or black icing for eyes. Bake your sugar cookies at home using gluten-free flour to make the recipe gluten-free.\n3. Monster Cake Pops: Make some cake pops using whichever cake flavor you'd like (or use multiple flavors). Once they have cooled completely, melt some white candy melts or white chocolate at a low temperature. Separate them into bowls and add different food coloring to each bowl (you can use whichever colors you'd prefer, but colors such as bright blue, green, or orange would be great for these pops) and coat the cake pops in the coating. Once the coating has set, decorate them with candy eyes and Halloween sprinkles. To make the recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free flour to make your cake pops, or you can substitute the cake with giant marshmallows.\n4. Spooky Pull-Apart Cupcakes: Pull-apart cupcakes are a great way to feed a crowd without having to make an entire cake and cut it into pieces. Bake some cupcakes at home or purchase store-bought plain cupcakes that aren't already frosted. Then, you will assemble your cupcakes so they are sitting together in the desired shape. For example, if you were making a pumpkin pull-apart cake, you would assemble the cupcakes into a circular shape. Then, take your frosting and frost the cupcakes as though you were icing an entire cake. You can keep this as simple or make it as extravagant as you want. Some ideas for a Halloween-inspired pull-apart cake include a pumpkin, a ghost, or a tombstone. When guests want to eat a part of the cake, all they have to do is remove one of the cupcakes! Bake your cupcakes at home using gluten-free flour to make the recipe gluten-free.\n5. Mini Cobweb Cheesecakes: Make miniature vanilla cheesecakes (baked cheesecakes would work best for this recipe) in some Halloween-themed cupcake liners. Once the cupcakes have cooled in the fridge, take some black icing or melted dark chocolate, and use a piping bag to pipe a cobweb pattern onto the top of each cheesecake. For an extra spooky touch, you can add a candy or chocolate spider on top of the cobweb. To make the recipe gluten-free, you can leave out the crust on your cheesecakes, or make the crust using gluten-free cookies or graham crackers.\n6. Graveyard Pudding: Take small plastic cups and fill them with chocolate pudding about 3/4 of the way up. Take some crumbled chocolate cake or chocolate sandwich cookies like Oreos, and use them to top the pudding to resemble the soil. Then take half a cookie that is rectangular or semi-rectangular in shape, such as a Milano cookie. Pipe \"RIP\" onto the cookies using icing or melted chocolate, then stick it on top of the soil to resemble a tombstone. You can also add some gummy worms on top of or inside the pudding mix. To make the recipe gluten-free, ensure the cake and/or cookies you are using for the soil and tombstones are gluten-free varieties. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

While house cats spend most or all of their lives living inside a house surrounded by people, feral cats have little if any contact with humans.\n\n1. Sociability\nAnyone who has run afoul of a feral cat will tell you they are very anti-social. Most feral cats will run away from humans at first sight. They also hiss, spit, and will claw if someone gets too close. Most feral cats live together in a colony and have no use or interest in people. However, feral kittens can be domesticated if taken from the colony or rescued before they are four months old. After that, there is very little chance to domesticate a feral kitten.\n\n2. Behavior Modification\nModifying a feral kitten's behavior is challenging but quite possible. Depending on the kitten's temperament, it can take as little as two weeks before the kitten learns to trust people and positively interact with them. If the feral kitten is skittish or afraid, it will take longer but is still very doable. The main requirement is to be patient with the kittens and committed to their domestication.\n\n3. Trap-Neuter-Release\nThe TNR program was designed to control the feral cat population. The cat is trapped, neutered then released back into the wild, preferably back to its colony. Along with neutering, the cats receive the rabies vaccine and usually have the tip of one ear cut off to mark that they have been neutered. Although the program has helped reduce the feral cat population, more cats need to go through the TNR program to effectively reduce their numbers. \n", "role": "assistant" } ]

Scientific Findings on Medication and Mood 4. Mental Health Improvement through Exercise and Diet. \n\n\"Creating and maintaining healthy boundaries is a life skill. It requires a confidence that allows us to feel as though we deserve to be respected, and though it seems many of us are born with it, often it slowly wanes over time. As our childish innocence falls to the side, we try to figure out who to be, how to be, and what to believe.\n\nThe trust we have in ourselves dwindles as we become more insecure and vulnerable to judgments, made both by others and ourselves, which in turn causes us to give our power away. We struggle to understand our value, to find a clear path to acceptability in the world around us. The constant bombardment of ‘look this way’ and ‘talk that way’ threatens to undermine creativity and self-expression, while the access we have to each other’s personal lives gives free rein to an overwhelming amount of unsolicited advice. \n\nDespite that, our boundaries are still there, hidden within us, waiting only for the time when we will recognize them. When we bring them into consciousness we start to believe that it’s okay to have them. We all know what lines we want others to respect and value, no matter how adept we are at enforcing them.\n\nWe allow ourselves to get lost in the chaos surrounding us—whether we’ve had a hand in creating it or not—and berate ourselves for not being up to the impossible task of meeting everyone else’s expectations. So often, guilt, at the very thought of telling people no, stops us in our tracks.\n\nSomething as simple as telling our loved ones that we don’t want to be touched talked to, or interrupted seems too bold, too rude. But is it?\n\nWhen we consider the repercussions of allowing others to push and take without relief, we are worse for it. And have less to give, both to ourselves and to our community. There is no joy in a person who has no say in their own life. And without joy there can be very little love to share. We inadvertently give control to whoever is willing to take it, all the while perhaps taking the same from others in the name of trying to help them. \n\nSo, what do we do? How do we get back to a place where we know that it is our right to determine how we exist and what we are willing to accept? \n\nThere is so much information available at this time and so many different lifestyles to choose from. Now, possibly more than ever before, we are able to truly live the life that we design. One that gives us meaning and purpose, where we feel like we are truly living from our hearts and souls.\n\nThrough practices such as meditation and journaling, we are able to dig deep, explore our wants and needs, and uncover the set of boundaries that is perfect for us. Given that we are the ones culpable for the lives we create, it’s about time that we started doing so. \n\nOne of the greatest gifts we can give is to be our authentic selves, living our best lives out loud and without shame. Living from that space, we inspire people in a way we never could if we allowed the world at large to dictate us into becoming people pleasers. And, we all know from experience that the people we admire the most are the ones that are just themselves, and allow others to be the same; the ones who respect themselves and others in deep and heartfelt ways. \n\nThis can be a scary thing to do, and we must acknowledge that there is often a lot of fear that must be overcome. We may not want to face confrontation and conflict, or to make strained relationships even more tumultuous. We can also get caught in the trap of feeling like we should be able to go with the flow in life and learn from all that is presented to us.\n\nAlthough, being open to synchronicities and spiritual messages doesn’t mean that we have to allow others to treat us in unacceptable and uncomfortable ways—rather, we need to ensure we always remain in the driving seat in the creation of our own reality. Part of living with intention is claiming our power and living in ways that are loving toward the self. \n\nWe’ve all been guilty of letting others push us around and take too much. We’ve all felt the pain and anger of having our boundaries trampled. It can be hard to understand how people can treat us badly, so disrespectfully, especially if they are or were loved ones. Yet, very few of us can claim to have never stepped on toes or pushed in where we didn’t belong.\n\nIt is human nature to give and take, and we all fail occasionally as we strive to find balance. And that’s okay. It is not only understandable but reasonable to expect that we will not always be successful at maintaining our boundaries, or respecting those of others. \n\nIt’s when unhealthy patterns develop that we must get more serious about starting the sometimes tough, but honest discussions that will allow us to navigate our way out of those habits. As silly as it may feel to schedule conversations, it’s ideal to set aside time so that everyone involved is calm, focused and has intentionally thought over what they might want to share.\n\nGenuine inner reflection will also show us where we may be the ones not respecting boundaries. And it is our responsibility, both to the other party and to ourselves, to do something about it. Encouraging our loved ones, including our children, to take personal responsibility and implement their own boundaries is a vital part of healthy, upward spiral relationships. We can be an example for others by not taking their power (even when it feels like they’re trying to force us to) and by claiming full responsibility for our own lives. \n\nAs our confidence in maintaining our own boundaries grows through awareness and practice, so too will the overflow. Our loved ones won’t be able to help but treat us differently, because we will be different. The entire dynamic of our relationships will change as a result.\n\nAt the end of our lives, as we look back on all that we accomplished, all who we have loved, and all that held meaning in our hearts, there will be very little room for guilt over having put up boundaries for our own wellbeing, but there could be a lot of regret if we don’t. \"\n", "role": "user" }, { "content": "I would classify this under \"2.

Eating a balanced breakfast jumpstarts your metabolism and keeps cravings at bay, preventing you from overeating later on.\n \n2. Toss the Treats: Stocking up on junk food is like inviting temptation to take control of your body. Remove the trigger foods and replace them with healthy snacks like fruits, nuts, or veggies.\n\n3. Stay Hydrated: Water work wonders! We quickly mistake thirst for hunger. Always keep a reusable water bottle and sip it away whenever you feel like it.\n\n4. Fiber is Your True Friend: High fiber means you’ll feel fuller for a long time. For weight loss, it means you’ll avoid overeating. Try vegetables and whole grains. Choose a quick, nutrient-dense option like a smoothie bowl or whole-grain toast with avocado. \n\n5. Fruits and veggies: Good for your health, great for your waistline. Include them in every meal, swap your snacks for fruit, and make them the star of your plate.\n\n6. Three square meals: Skipping meals will leave you hungry and more likely to overeat. Stick to regular meal times, and balance your plate with a variety of healthy foods.\n\n7. Break a sweat: Get moving! Take a daily walk, a dance class, or something more intense. Being active will burn calories and boost your metabolism way faster.\n\n8. Label language: Learn to decipher food labels to make informed choices. Beware of hidden sugars, salts, and unhealthy fats. Look for foods low in saturated fat and sugars.\n\n9. The size matters: Use smaller plates to trick your brain into feeling full with less food.

Here are five creative ways to add more vegetables to your diet: \n\n1. Include them in a smoothie. There are many delicious and healthy smoothies that incorporate vegetables as part of a balanced breakfast or snack. One popular example is a kale, pineapple, and banana smoothie with a bit of dairy or non-dairy milk. Some other ideas are to substitute kale for spinach or to try something completely different like a beet or carrot smoothie. \n\n2. Roast them in the oven. Roasting vegetables with a bit of salt, pepper, and oil can be a great way to add flavor and texture without much effort. Some great roasting vegetables include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower. \n\n3. Make appealing salads to go. A new social media-inspired health trend is to prepare attractive-looking salads in convenient and ready-to-go containers such as mason jars. The salads are put in the container in layers with dressing at the bottom, followed by vegetables that are not vulnerable to water such as chopped broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers, tomatoes, and carrots. After that, you can add leafy vegetables such as lettuce, cabbage, spinach, and kale. You can also add a lean protein like chicken, some nuts, or even a bit of fruit depending on what you're in the mood to eat. \n\n4. Spiralize them and use them instead of noodles. Spiralized zucchini, summer squash, or even beets can be a great change of pace for a plate of pasta with tomato sauce. Use them exactly as you would regular pasta for a delicious and healthy low-carb meal. \n\n5. Add them to desserts. If you're looking for something indulgent, consider carrot cakes, pumpkin pies, and sweet potato puddings as some sweet treats that incorporate vegetables. If you would prefer something a bit healthier overall, you might be interested in trying roasted beets in chocolate pudding cakes, kale in carrot muffins, or zucchini in coconut chocolate cookies, to name a few possibilities. \n\nI hope that these ideas inspire you to find new and creative ways to add vegetables to your diet.

This can lead to a buildup of dust, dirt, and other debris in the home, which can be harmful to seniors' health. Our general house cleaning services are designed to help seniors maintain a clean and hygienic living space without having to worry about the physical strain of cleaning themselves. \n- Deep Cleaning: Our deep cleaning service goes beyond the surface level and tackles areas that are difficult to reach and often overlooked during regular cleaning routines. In addition to improving air quality, deep cleaning can also extend the life of your furniture and appliances by removing built-up grime and debris.\n- Organization: As we get older, it gets more difficult to keep things organized. This can increase the risk of falls and other accidents in the home. Decluttering not only creates a safer living environment but also promotes mental clarity and reduces stress.\n- Sanitization: Seniors are particularly vulnerable to bacteria and viruses due to weakened immune systems. Our home sanitizing service can provide a thorough deep clean including everything from disinfecting high-touch surfaces like doorknobs, light switches, and counters to steam cleaning carpets and wiping down baseboards.\n", "role": "assistant" } ]

", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\n-\tPowder bed fusion (PBF) machines require a very large amount of powdered build material even for a design that itself doesn’t take up much volume. The 3D object is built up layer-by-layer by depositing a layer of powdered material (often metal) on a build surface called a “bed” and melting or sintering the portions of it that correspond with the final item’s solid structure. A new layer of powder is then spread over that, and the next “slice” worth of material is sintered on top of the previous one. In the end, the entire print bed volume will be filled with powder, much of which is not fused.\n-\tBy contrast, directed energy deposition (DED) printers funnel powder through nozzles mounted around their energy source (a laser, electric arc, or electron beam). The energy source melts a small portion of the underlying structure and adds the new powder to that position, building it up by a small amount. Since the powder is only added to the point of construction, it uses far less powder than PBF printers.\n-\tLike most 3D printers, PBF machines can only print top-down. Overhanging parts can, however, be supported by the previous layers of unsintered powder below and don't technically require support structures to be printed. Many DED printers can also print without building support structures, but they do so by rotating the print nozzle head at angles that most printers cannot achieve.\n-\tIn most cases, the build volumes of both types of machines need to be flooded with inert gas to prevent melted material from oxidizing. Some DED printers have fewer strictures and can get away with only blowing the inert gas over the melted section below the nozzle. Electron-beam DED printers are more restrictive, however, and require the build volume to be evacuated to a near vacuum so that the electron stream does not interact with gas molecules on its way to the powder. \n-\tDED printers can typically be built with larger print volumes than can PBF machines.\n-\tOf the two, DED is the newer technology, so fewer operators have the skills necessary to make the most of these machines.", "role": "assistant" } ]

When the babies, also known as owlets or chicks, are born, the dad will hunt to gather food while the mom will stay to guard the nest. \n\nWhat Do Snowy Owls Eat?\n\nLemmings are a favorite food for snowy owls, but they also eat a wide range of rodents and small mammals. If there are no lemmings, rabbits, or mice to be found, the snowy owl will hunt for fish, perching birds (like finches and sparrows), and large insects. \n\nWhat is the Average Lifespan of a Snowy Owl? \n\nThe average lifespan for snowy owls in the wild is up to 10 years. While snowy owls in captivity, such as in zoos or nature preserves, can live 20 years or longer in a controlled, safe environment. \n\nHow Do Snowy Owls Talk to One Another? \n\nSnowy owls are communicative birds! \nThey interact with one another through hoots and whistles when content or attempting to mate, but they hiss or clap their beaks when angry or annoyed. \n\nAre Snowy Owls Quiet or Noisy? \n\nWhere many birds, like hawks, will screech when diving to snatch food from the ground, snowy owls are sneaky and quiet. They don’t want to scare their prey away, so they swoop down to capture smaller animals before their prey knows what’s happened. \n", "role": "assistant" } ]

Toys: If your dog has a favorite toy, you can also use this as motivation. Make sure your dog is aware of you holding the toy when you ask them to do something.\n3. Practice Without Distractions: If you're having trouble getting your dog to listen to you in a place where there are plenty of distractions, like in the park or on a busy street, try practicing somewhere without distractions first. At home is ideal, as there should be nothing out of the ordinary.\n4. Start Easy: Make sure you start with easy commands and build up. Use the ones your dog already knows well when trying to motivate them to listen to you.\n5. Use a Long Leash: If training recall, make sure you attach a long leash to your dog until their recall is solid. This will prevent them from running off.\n6. Always Use Positive Reinforcement: Lastly, don't punish your dog for not listening to you. This can result in your dog being fearful of you or aggressive towards you and failing to understand what you want from them. Praise your dog for doing the right thing, and try not to react when they don't.\n\nEvery dog is different, so finding out what motivates your dog is important.

[ { "content": "From the provided article, please come up with 25 questions with answers. All questions should be numbered and listed in the order in which the fact was introduced in the article, starting from the earliest at number 1. Do not generate any questions that can be answered with simply a yes or no.\n\nThe Kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown on January 17, 1893, after a group of 13 Caucasian businessmen and lawyers staged a coup d'état against Queen Liliuokalani and her government. The group called themselves the Committee of Safety — six citizens of the Kingdom and seven foreign residents of Hawaii (five Americans, one Scotsman, and one German). Their ultimate goal was annexation to the United States. It would be five years, however, until that goal was achieved.\n\nThe plan to overtake Hawaii’s monarchy had been brewing for decades. It flared up during the reign of Queen Liliuokalani, Kalakaua’s sister who succeeded him as monarch on January 29, 1891, after the king’s death.\n\nIn early 1892, a secret group — the Annexation Club — was formed by Lorrin A. Thurston, a leading politician, lawyer, businessman and native-born citizen of the Kingdom. The club’s goal was to be ready to act if the queen carried out their worst fear – proposing a lenient constitution to replace the restrictive one forced on Kalakaua in 1887. That document, the Bayonet Constitution, had been authored by Thurston and it had severely limited the monarch’s power.\n\nAfter much agitation and maneuvering on both sides of the political fence, on January 14, 1893, the queen informed her Cabinet that she intended to propose a new constitution. The Annexation Club quickly learned of her plans and formed the Committee of Safety from among its members. They were able to gain the support of the US government minister John L. Stevens and Captain G. C. Wiltse of the USS Boston, the fully armed US warship anchored in Honolulu Harbor. The queen’s Cabinet refused to support her and any new constitution she offered.\n\nIn an effort to ease tensions, Liliuokalani issued a proclamation that any changes she would seek to the constitution would be accomplished within the framework of the current one. But it was too late to turn back the rising tide of the businessmen who saw their opportunity to finally do away with the monarchy. On January 16, 162 US sailors and marines were landed. The next day, the Committee of Safety issued their proclamation declaring martial law, deposing the queen, and establishing the Provisional Government until such time as union with the US could be attained. At the urging of her Cabinet, the queen surrendered her power to the US government and departed the Palace for her private home nearby. By midnight, almost all of the 17 foreign consuls in Honolulu had recognized the new government, including Stevens and Japanese Consul-General Saburo Fujii.\n\nThe newly formed government immediately sent envoys to Washington DC to seek a treaty of annexation. Likewise, the Royalist faction sent envoys to plead the queen’s case. In the end, an annexation treaty was sent to Congress, but upon the inauguration of Grover Cleveland as US President in early March, the treaty was quickly withdrawn.\n\nMeanwhile, the Japanese Navy warship HIJM Naniwa, arrived in Honolulu on February 23, 1893, to provide protection for Japanese citizens and express Japanese concern after the overthrow of the monarchy. The cruiser remained in Honolulu until May 11, 1893.\n\nIn December 1893, President Cleveland criticized the involvement of American troops in the coup as a misuse of the power of the United States. Senate hearings followed, but Congress did not act to either restore the monarchy or annex Hawaii.\n\nWith their goal of annexation stalled, the leaders of the Provisional Government decided to form themselves into the Republic of Hawaii. On July 2, 1894, their new constitution was ratified and Sanford B. Dole, who had been president of the Provisional Government, was endorsed as president for a six-year term. Dole, a Hawaiian citizen from a missionary family, was a cousin to James D. Dole, who would arrive in the islands from Boston in 1899 and develop the pineapple industry.\n\nThe constitution of the Republic of Hawaii required voters to swear allegiance to the republic. Native Hawaiians refused, but foreigners who had sided with the overthrow were allowed to vote. Strict property and other requirements prevented most Hawaiians and all Asians from voting.\n\nThe following month, a delegation of Royalists went to Washington again in an effort to convince Cleveland to restore Liliuokalani to the throne. It was too late, was the reply. The president had done all he could and turned the entire affair over to Congress, who continued to do nothing. The US had officially recognized the new government; there was nothing more to be done.\n\nRealizing that their only hope was to take matters into their own hands, on January 6, 1895, after months of planning, several hundred Native Hawaiians and other Royalists mounted a counterrevolution to restore the monarchy. However, due to lack of organization and government spies in their midst, within three days the attempt had failed. The insurgents were arrested and imprisoned. On January 16, 1895, Liliuokalani was arrested at her private home, Washington Place, taken to her former Palace, now the capitol of the Republic of Hawaii, and imprisoned in an upstairs room. The next day a search of her home turned up a cache of arms and munitions buried in her garden.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Sure, here are 25 questions with answers listed below, taken from the provided article.\n\n1) Question: When was the Kingdom of Hawaii overthrown?\nAnswer: The Kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown on January 17, 1893.\n\n2) Question: Who led the effort of the Kingdom of Hawaii to be overthrown?\nAnswer: A group of 13 Caucasian businessmen and lawyers called the Committee of Safety.

She was born and raised in a suburb of London, England in 1988.\n\nShe has created and sold several best-selling albums of the 21st century. Her style is unique and cherished by many. She has an outstanding voice with emotional piano melodies in the genre of pop and soul.\n\nShe primarily capitalized on the artist name \"A Dell\" because of a deal with Dell Inc in 2009. The founder of Dell noticed the songwriter's unique talents and capabilities. He wanted to represent the Dell brand by using her unique musical talents and gifted voice. He worked with her to create many best-selling hits: \"Hello Dell,\" \"Rolling in the SSD,\" \"Someone Like Dell,\" and \"Set Fire to Microsoft.\"\n\nEach of these Grammy-nominated hits was powerful. They communicated strong branding and messages of Dell, Inc. She would go on to help earn Dell Inc at least $500 billion in goodwill over her tenure. Microsoft and Apple strongly opposed the leverage that Dell had over her, but she was never going to stop telling people to buy a Dell.", "role": "assistant" } ]

I'm sure that by now everyone has heard of the new lipstick Morphe has dropped, and I was one of the first lucky ones to be able to test it out! To start, the packaging is gorgeous. Morphe's original black packaging is back at it again, which makes this lipstick look as daring as ever. The shade is called \"Red and Thorned,\" and it is a striking, burgundy red color. After the first swatch, I was amazed to see how pigmented the lipstick is. The real test, however, was to see if it was as transfer-proof as Morphe claimed it would be. And let me tell you guys: I have eaten a burger, fries, brushed my teeth in this lipstick, and it's still on my lips! You guys need to try this out! Not to mention, the lipstick is also offered in a variety of shades. Morphe strikes again!", "role": "assistant" } ]

This was the closest they had brought the score down to, and there were only 5 seconds left on the game clock. Giannis had already dropped 40 points on 67% efficiency and, by most metrics, had been having a stellar game, except when it came to free throws. For the entire series, he was about 20% for free throws, which was beyond embarrassing for a star of his caliber. He tried to dismiss this, though, as he loaded up and prepared to shoot his first shot. He completely missed it. Nervous, he knew he had only one more chance to save his team's season, and he wasn't going to let this go to waste. As he thought this, he loaded up again to fire his second shot. He then proceeded to miss the second one as well. With that, he knew that he had no chance now of keeping his team in contention.", "role": "assistant" } ]
