Can you help me answer a few questions? If you can't, please say "No I can't". Question: Who is Kim's ex-husband? Movie title: 88 Minutes Movie plot: Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Jack Gramm (Al Pacino) testifies at the trial of suspected serial murderer Jon Forster (Neal McDonough), dubbed "The Seattle Slayer" by police. Gramm's testimony and expert psychiatric opinion are crucial to help convict Forster of the attempted killing of Janie Cates and the murder of Joanie Cates, who was drugged, hanged upside down, and killed after the killer broke into her home. After receiving his conviction by the jury, Forster taunts Gramm, saying "Tick-tock, Doc." Nine years later, as Forster's execution date approaches, several similar torture murders with very similar circumstances occur. Gramm is questioned by a lawyer from the Attorney General's office as well as FBI Special Agent Frank Parks (William Forsythe) about his connection to the latest victim, Dale Morris, a former psychology student of Gramm's with whom he was at a party the night before, just hours before her death. On the way to his class, Gramm receives a phone call from someone using software to distort their voice, threatening he has 88 minutes to live. He later reports the call to his secretary Shelly (Amy Brenneman) and has her put together a risk assessment profile of potential perpetrators. Gramm receives another threatening phone call while teaching and becomes suspicious of his students, particularly Mike Stempt (Benjamin McKenzie). The Dean of students, Carol Johnson (Deborah Kara Unger), interrupts the class to evacuate the building due to a bomb threat called in. As he evacuates the lecture hall, Gramm finds a written threat on the overhead projector in the classroom as well as on his car, which has been vandalized in the parking garage. Gramm then is met by his teaching assistant Kim Cummings (Alicia Witt) who offers to help him find the person that's been targeting him. In the stairwell of the parking garage, Gramm comes upon one of his students, Lauren Douglas (Leelee Sobieski), attacked by an unknown assailant and reports the assault to campus security. Gramm and Kim go to his condo where a...

George Stinney was executed at 14. Can his family now clear his name?
An old storage shed, half swallowed by weeds, shimmers in the hazy winter sunshine opposite the Green Hill Missionary Baptist Church. This is all that remains of the thriving lumber yard and sawmill on which Alcolu, a rural town in South Carolina, was built.
Back in 1944, in the Jim Crow era of the South, Green Hill was known as "the black church", while Clarendon Baptist Church across the railway tracks was "the white church". Those who remember the terrible events that unfolded in this dot of a place that spring and summer were children at the time and their memories are shaped by this same racial divide that split the community in two.
From the Green Hill church it is a few minutes' walk, across a ploughed field littered with corn husks, to the shallow ditch in the woods where the bodies of two girls, Betty June Binnicker, 11, and Mary Emma Thames, seven, were found, side by side, 70 years ago this month. Their murders stunned the townspeople, many of whom had taken part in a search for them the day before. The girls had been gathering flowers when they were followed, attacked and beaten so severely their skulls were fractured. The bodies of the girls, both white, were found on the black side of town.
Suspicion quickly fell on a 14-year-old black boy named George Stinney Jr who, it emerged, had seen the girls the previous day. What happened next has cast a long shadow over the town, the state of South Carolina and the Stinney family. Police said that Stinney confessed to the crimes and, although there was no physical evidence, he was charged with capital murder, tried, convicted and executed by the state – all in the space of 83 days. He was the youngest person to be executed by the United States in the 20th century.
His siblings, three of whom are still alive, believe his confession was coerced and he was a scapegoat for a white community seeking vengeance. Attorneys for George's sisters Aime Ruffner and Katherine Robinson and brother Charles have now launched a legal bid for the verdict to be overturned. They say they were with him when the murders occurred, evidence that was never presented at his trial. Other new evidence, heard by a court in January, includes an affidavit from the Reverend Francis Batson, who found the girls and pulled them from the water-filled ditch. In his statement he recalls there was not much blood in or around the ditch, suggesting that they may have been killed elsewhere and moved.
Aime Ruffner, now 77, a widow and matriarch of three generations of Stinneys whose pictures line the walls of her three-storey clapboard house in Newark, New Jersey, said she has not returned to Alcolu since her father was sacked from his job at the mill and her family were run out of town the day her brother was taken away. "I never went back there. I curse that place. It was the destruction of my family and the killing of my brother."
She will never forget the last time she saw George alive. She was eight at the time, hunkering in the chicken coop, scared half to death, when two black cars drove up to their house. Neither her mother, also Aime, a cook, nor her father, George senior, were home when white law enforcement officers came and took away George and her stepbrother, Johnny, in handcuffs. Johnny was later let go. She idolised George and followed him everywhere. He called her his shadow.
Though she left the south long ago, Aime's rich, deep voice resonates with the vowels of her birthplace. But recalling her last words to George, it alters as if she's gone back in time, to the high-pitched voice of a girl. "I said: 'Oh George, are you leaving me? Where you going?' He told me to find Charles and Katherine and tell them he was taken away.
"I never saw him again until he was in his casket," said Aime. "That is something I will always see in my memories. His face was burned."
There is scant documentary evidence from the case, but newspapers reported that, because of his small stature, at 5ft 1in and weighing just 95lb, the guards had difficultly strapping him into a chair built for adults. When the switch was flipped and the first 2,400 volts surged through his body, the too-large death mask slipped from his face revealing the tears falling from his scared, open eyes. A second and third charge followed. He was pronounced dead on 16 June 1944.
Aime gets up from her doily-covered table where, before our interview, she had been conducting her day's business, writing cheques and paying bills, and goes to the living room to find photographs. A dog yaps in another room. The television is on, a family sitcom running. She emerges with a thick poster-size print, in which a black-and-white image of George's face, taken from his prison mug shot, is surrounded by purple fluffy clouds and the words: "George's place is here." Another photograph shows him in a cap and an overly large jacket, the same serious look on his face.
From the moment he was picked up until after his trial on 24 April, the child was not allowed to see his parents. He was alone throughout and faced a jury of 12 white men, who took less than 10 minutes to deliberate as a mob of up to 1,500 people surrounded the courtroom, according to reports.
Aime's parents were allowed to visit their son only once, at Columbia penitentiary, after the trial. They returned, convinced of his innocence but, as poor blacks in the south, with little recourse. "My mother cried and prayed," said Aime. "We wanted the truth to come out. But sometimes when you don't have the means and the money you accept things for what they are. The NAACP [National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People] tried to stop it, but it was no use. In those days, when you are white you were right, when you were black you were wrong."
Aime and her surviving siblings, Charles who was 12 and Katherine who was 10, grew up with two beliefs: that their brother was innocent and that they couldn't change the past. In legal documents submitted to the new hearing, Bishop Charles Stinney told of how the entire family were plunged into fear after George was taken and his father fired. Amid talk of a mob, they had to leave town for their grandmother's home in nearby Pinewood and later moved to Sumter.
His parents were helpless, Charles said. "They had no money, the law was against them and they were black in the American south in 1944." Lynchings were rare by the 1940s, but memories of southern vigilantism in the 1920s and earlier were bitter. One by one, the Stinney siblings moved north and settled in New York and Newark. They rarely spoke of what happened and have only recently given detailed testimony.
Charles, 83, a widower with five grown-up children, left Sumter for the Air Force before becoming bishop of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in Brownsville, Brooklyn, one of New York's most deprived neighbourhoods. He has spent his life trying to put it all behind him, he said, to "stop opening old wounds".
As a minister, he believes God knows the truth about his brother, a sociable boy who would get friends together to sing along to the radio in the yard. "Nothing will bring him back and nothing will bring those girls back," he said. Nevertheless "It is important to have his name cleared." Aime sought the help of an attorney and wrote a letter to Oprah Winfrey, she said. Both approaches went nowhere.
The catalyst for the legal action came via George Frierson, a local historian and a member of Clarendon's School District Three's board of trustees, who was born in Alcolu and went to elementary school when the lumber yard was still running. Frierson began investigating the case in 2004 after a small piece in a local newspaper reminded him of it. Frierson said the more he researched, the more he became convinced by George's innocence. He says there was little blood at the ditch, evidence that the girls were killed elsewhere. "A 95lb boy can't carry two dead bodies a quarter mile or more. Those girls were beaten to a pulp. There would have been a lot of blood."
His work caught the interest of Steve McKenzie and Matt Burgess, white attorneys from Coffey, Chandler & McKenzie, who took on the case for the Stinney family.
McKenzie filed papers at the county solicitor in October 2013 to ask to have George's verdict overturned. He, Burgess and Miller Shealy, a professor of criminal procedure at the Charleston School of Law, presented new evidence which included sworn statements by Charles and Aime that they were with George the day the girls went missing. Wilford "Johnny" Hunter, who was in prison with George, also testified that the teenager told him he had been made to confess.
Aime says her story hasn't altered in 70 years, although at the hearing she was accused by prosecutors of not remembering details of a statement she had given in 2009. She said the events of 24 March 1944, when she and George came across the girls, were so clear in her mind because "no white people came around" to the black side of town. She and George were sitting on the railroad tracks when the girls approached and asked if they knew where they could find maypops, a kind of fruit. They answered no, she said, and they left. "We didn't see those girls no more. But somebody followed those girls and killed them."
She insists that George's confession was forced out of him. "They made him confess. They never found the statement. Why would my brother confess to something he didn't do?" The confession, if it was ever written down or signed, has not survived, along with the transcript of the trial.
Attempts to overturn the conviction have met with resistance among Alcolu's white community. Sadie Duke told the local paper in January 2014 that the day before the murders, George had told her and a friend: "If you don't get away from here and if you ever come back, I will kill you." Another local, who was 15 at the time, said George was known as a bully.
Asked whether she recognised this version of her brother, Aime says: "The only white kids that came in our area was those kids. We had our own black school and church. We didn't fool around with white people." Members of Alcolu's black community say that it was unlikely that, in the segregated town, any black child would threaten white children without there being repercussions.
However, back in 1995, WL Hamilton, George's seventh grade teacher, who is black, told the Item newspaper that he had a temper and had got into a fight with a girl at school, scratching her with a knife. Aime said she phoned Hamilton after she read the story. "That bastard. That was a damn lie. When I heard about that lie Mr Hamilton told I called him up. I said my name is Aime Stinney and you said my brother was a bad boy. You've got one foot on a banana peel and the other going straight to hell."
Betty June Binnicker's family never moved too far from Alcolu. A few weeks ago Frankie Bailey Dyches, Betty June's niece, helped organise a gathering of family and acquaintances to counter what she said was a false impression of George Stinney. In a restaurant outside Manning, less than five miles away, Frankie and her cousin Carolyn Geddings talk about the case over the detritus of a southern lunch of fried chicken, prime ribs, rice and gravy. Dyches and Geddings, both 62, have grown up with the grief of their mothers, Betty June's elder sisters, and their grandparents Daisy and John Binnicker. To them, George's confession, and a handwritten note from a Clarendon County deputy stating he confessed and had led them to the murder weapon – a 15in railroad spike – was proof enough of his guilt.
"It seems like a poor little black boy was railroaded by the white people, but that's not how it was," said Dyches. "I'm 100% convinced he did it." One of the investigating officers, Mr Pratt, had told her before he died never to doubt George's guilt.
"The stories we hear are that he was a shy bashful boy, but he was a bully and he was mean," she said, citing allegations by Duke and others. She questions the memories of the Stinney family, the motivation of the attorneys and the timing of the appeal. "Why now? What about in the 1960s, when the civil rights movement was starting? What about in the 1970s or 80s? One was a school teacher. It's not as though they weren't educated."
She believes the attorneys are motivated by money, citing a website they set up, and that they will sue the state for wrongful death if George is exonerated. The lawyers say the site is for litigation fees only, with any remaining going to a scholarship foundation, have no interest in suing for wrongful death and do not know if that is even possible.
Betty's parents had already lost a baby son, Harold, when he was six months old and, after Betty June, lost a third child, a son who died on duty in the Korean war. According to the family they never recovered. Carolyn added: "For Betty June to be killed in such a horrible way – it was a terrible time for all of them."
The cousins insist that there was no racial element to George's trial and conviction. But they disagree over whether the state was right to execute him. "I'm a believer in the death penalty if you are 100% sure and I believe he did it," said Frankie. Carolyn is more sympathetic to the view that grave mistakes were made in the case. She said George should have had a lawyer or parent with him during his interrogation, and should never have been put to death.
"I feel bad for his family, all of them," said Carolyn. "They had to live with it, same as we have. My mother, Vermelle, didn't think he should have been electrocuted. She thought because of his age that he shouldn't. At this point, after years of this, if the judge rules it wasn't fair then I'm happy with that. I hope the family can get some peace from it."
In the South CAROLINA state archives in Columbia, a thick file offers an insight into the outrage the upcoming execution of a minor caused at the time. Hundreds of letters and telegrams urged the governor, Olin Johnston, to commute the sentence to life imprisonment. Some cited a recent case, where a 16-year-old white boy from Parish Island was given a 20-year sentence for murder and rape. Others begged for a new investigation and trial. Many spoke of the war, in which black and white men were fighting and dying in equal numbers for their country.
Johnston, who was running for the US Senate at the time, was unmoved. In one letter, dated 14 June, two days before the execution, Johnston wrote to a VM Ford of Myrtle Beach who had asked for clemency, that he had spoken with the arresting officer. He said: "It may be interesting for you to know that Stinney killed the smaller girl to rape the larger one. Then he killed the larger girl and raped her dead body. Twenty minutes later he returned and attempted to rape her again, but her body was too cold. All of this he admitted himself." This was rumour – and was contradicted by the physical examination at postmortem.
Johnston was not the only one running for office. Charles Plowden, George's appointed defence attorney, was also running for the statehouse. Two conflicting confessions by George were entered as evidence at the trial, according to reports. In the first, he said he was approached by the girls who attacked him after he tried to help one who had fallen into a ditch and he struck them in self-defence. In the second version, he had followed the girls into the woods and first attacked and fatally wounded Mary Emma, to "get her out of the way", and then chased Betty June and struck her.
The trial court allowed the permissibility of the "possibility" of rape, despite the lack of evidence. The medical report states that, while there was slight swelling and a slight bruise on the external genitalia of Betty June, the hymens of both girls were intact.
The attorney Matt Burgess believes George's confession was changed to fit the prosecution. "The confession changed to fit the elements. The murder weapon changed. It was a piece of iron, then a spike and then a railroad spike. That changed in a manner beneficial to law enforcement. In 1944, a 14-year-old black kid interrogated by white officers… They probably put different scenarios to him. I'm guessing he just said, 'Yes sir' a lot."
At Sumter County courthouse in January, Circuit Judge Carmen Mullen stressed that her job was not to establish the guilt or innocence of George Stinney, who "may well have committed this crime", but to determine whether or not he received a fair trial.
She said: "No one can justify a 14-year-old child charged, tried, convicted and executed in some 80 days." The injustices, she said, included a witness who discovered the victims' bodies being allowed to sit on the coroner's inquest; a trial that lasted less than a day; a state-appointed defence lawyer, Plowden, who did not call any witnesses, ask any questions on cross-examination, offered little or no defence and filed no appeal. Mullen concluded: "In essence, not much was done for this child when his life lay in the balance." Her ruling is expected any day.
The population of Alcolu has shrunk from 1,700 in 1944 to 400 today. Aime said she has no hate in her heart "for no man, even the ones that killed my brother. I feel sorry for the families that lost those little ones. They lost their children and I lost a brother. That hurts. But for people to sit down and form a judgment in the way they did? To electrocute him? They burned him. It was a horrible death for a child."
Summary: | In 1944, 14-year-old George Stinney Jr. was charged with capital murder and executed by the state of South Carolina in just 83 days, making him the youngest person to be executed in the United States in the 20th century. His surviving family believes his confession was coerced, and he was a scapegoat for a white community seeking vengeance. Attorneys for George's siblings have launched a legal bid for the verdict to be overturned, and new evidence has recently been heard in court. While some residents of Alcolu, South Carolina still consider George guilty, others believe the legal action is an important step to clear his name.

Possible answers: [I] yes [II] no | [II] No
That sentence you just read is a bit like saying "some companies in Europe and Australia made a special key (the dongle) that they could plug into a real, approved game. This special key would then trick the console into thinking it was playing a real game because it used the real game's special 'handshake' from the 10NES chip." But it's not really explaining why these companies decided to get around the authentication system in the first place. Companies usually did this to save money and not having to go through the official (and sometimes expensive) process of getting their games licensed. |

Bank town on the other hand, had warmer nights because it was situated on a south facing hill. Given the paragraph above, please answer correctly the following question: Which town experienced fewer saturation phenomena? Hint: Specific humidity (or moisture content) is the ratio of the mass of water vapor to the total mass of the moist air parcel.[13] Specific humidity is approximately equal to the mixing ratio, which is defined as the ratio of the mass of water vapor in an air parcel to the mass of dry air for the same parcel. As temperature decreases, the amount of water vapor needed to reach saturation also decreases. As the temperature of a parcel of air becomes lower it will eventually reach the point of saturation without adding or losing water mass.
The answer is: | Bend town experienced fewer saturation phenomena.
Step 1: Understand the given information
- Bend town has cooler air at night.
- Bank town has warmer nights as it is situated on a south-facing hill.
- As temperature decreases, the amount of water vapor needed to reach saturation decreases.
Step 2: Analyze the location and temperature of the towns
- Bend town experiences cooler nights than Bank town, which implies it has a lower temperature at night.
- Considering that both towns had a humid season, and the clue given that lower temperatures need less water vapor to reach saturation.
Step 3: Determine which town experienced fewer saturation phenomena
- Since Bend town has cooler nights, we can infer that it reaches the point of saturation with less water vapor content compared to Bank town, which has warmer nights.
By following these steps, we can conclude that Bend town experienced fewer saturation phenomena due to its cooler night temperatures. |

Solve -42 = -12*o - 66 for o. | To solve the given math problem, we need to find the value of 'o' in the given equation.
Here is the equation:
-42 = -12*o - 66
To solve for 'o', follow the steps below:
Step 1: Isolate the term with 'o' by moving the other terms to the opposite side of the equation. In this case, add 66 to both sides of the equation:
-42 + 66 = -12 * o - 66 + 66
24 = -12 * o
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of 'o', which is -12:
24 / -12 = (-12 * o) / -12
-2 = o
So, the solution to the math problem is o = -2. |

Darabont's directing expertly balances the gritty realism of prison life with moments of genuine warmth and emotion. The visual storytelling, exemplified by Roger Deakins' stunning cinematography, evokes a rich atmosphere that effectively immerses the viewers in the story, while Thomas Newman's poignant score accompanies the narrative perfectly.
Step 4: Analyze the script and story
The screenplay, adapted by Darabont himself, stays true to King's novella while skillfully expanding upon it for the big screen. The story delivers a powerful message about hope, friendship, and resilience in the face of adversity, which resonates with audiences even decades later. The pacing is deliberate yet consistently compelling, allowing the narrative to unfold organically and leaving viewers time to reflect on the themes and moments that linger long after the credits roll.
Step 5: Highlight memorable moments
There are several memorable moments in "The Shawshank Redemption," such as Andy's surprise revelation at the movie's climax, and the heartwarming exchange between Andy and Red on the prison rooftop. These scenes leave an indelible impression on viewers, heightening the emotional connection to the story and its characters.
Step 6: Conclude the review and provide a recommendation
In conclusion, "The Shawshank Redemption" is a timeless classic that showcases the power of storytelling, exceptional acting, and masterful filmmaking.

You must generate a detailed and long answer. | How is "Therefore, Mr Barroso, my group will not support your guidelines or your staffing proposal." said in Finnish? | In Finnish, the sentence "Therefore, Mr Barroso, my group will not support your guidelines or your staffing proposal." can be translated as:
"Siksi, herra Barroso, ryhmäni ei tue ohjeitasi tai henkilöstöehdotustasi."
Here's a breakdown of the translation:
- Siksi - Therefore
- Herra - Mister (in this case, Mr.)
- Barroso - Barroso (name of the person being addressed; the name stays the same in Finnish)
- Ryhmäni - My group (possessive form of "group" with "my" included in the word)
- Ei - Not (used for negation)
- Tue - Support (verb in third-person singular form, in this case meaning "will not support")
- Ohjeitasi - Your guidelines (plural form of "guideline" with the possessive "your" included, meaning "your guidelines")
- Tai - Or
- Henkilöstöehdotustasi - Your staffing proposal (compound word: "henkilöstö" means "staff" or "personnel", "ehdotus" means "proposal", and adding "-tasi" at the end indicates the possessive "your", making it "your staffing proposal")
So, putting all of these together, you get: "Siksi, herra Barroso, ryhmäni ei tue ohjeitasi tai henkilöstöehdotustasi." |

While performing the task think step-by-step and justify your steps. | Generate a context and a hypothesis. | To generate a context and a hypothesis, I will first think of a relevant topic that has potential for exploration and development, and then I will create a hypothesis that can be supported or rejected through research.
Step 1: Select a topic
I decide to choose a topic that is timely, widely-discussed, and has room for further inquiry. This topic should be specific enough to make predictions, yet broad enough to have a larger significance. The topic I select is remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Step 2: Determine the focus within the topic
Considering the broader topic of remote work during the pandemic, I narrow down our focus to understand its impact on work productivity levels. This focus enables us to come up with a testable hypothesis.
Step 3: Identify variables
In order to create a good hypothesis, it is important to identify variables that will be relevant to the research. In our case, the primary variables would be the remote work setup (independent variable) and the work productivity levels (dependent variable).
Step 4: Formulate the hypothesis
Now that the topic, focus, and variables have been identified, I will create a hypothesis that predicts the relationship between them. The hypothesis is a statement, and it can be supported or rejected through research.
Hypothesis: Remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic has a positive impact on overall work productivity levels.
This hypothesis would be tested through research studies by collecting data, analyzing information, and comparing it to pre-pandemic work productivity levels. If the collected data supports the statement, it would be more likely that remote work has positively affected productivity during the pandemic. If the data contradicts it, then the hypothesis may be rejected and alternative hypotheses can be explored. |

Sentence 2: I could stay in TI because I had seniority and experience.
If the first sentence is true, then is the second sentence true? | Alright kiddo, let me explain this to you. In the first sentence, the person is saying that they were allowed to stay in TI (a special place), but they know that not everyone gets to do that nowadays. In the second sentence, the person says that they could stay in TI because they had lots of experience and they had been there for a long time (that's called seniority).
Now, if the first sentence is true, then it's possible that the second sentence could be true as well. The person is basically saying that they were lucky to stay in TI, and one reason for that could be because they had experience and seniority. But, we can't be 100% sure that the second sentence is true just from hearing the first sentence. There might be other reasons why the person got to stay in TI.

On Thursday, I paid a visit to Number 10 to interview the Prime Minister for a forthcoming Radio 4 series on Britain. For a man who had just returned from an exhausting trip to the United States, he was animated and intellectually fizzing. No surprise, perhaps. America has played a formative role in the development of Brown the politician, and only hours before our interview he had been delivering a speech to both houses of Congress. For this particular PM, that is a bit like playing at Wembley.
The most striking thing about Mr Brown's oratory to the Senate and the House of Representatives on Wednesday was the extent to which he looked utterly at home. When Tony Blair made his own speech there in July 2003, he lapped up the adulation like a rock star on tour. But Brown, more lyrical than usual, less wooden, even raising his hands like a pastor from the Deep South, performed like a prodigal son rather than a guest. Blair loved Europe long before he learnt to love the US. But Brown has always been besotted by the idea of America, by the dream of John Winthrop and Ronald Reagan of "a shining city upon the hill": a dream to which the PM referred directly in his speech.
To my ears, the most striking and sonorous passage was the following: "For me this global recession is not to be measured just in statistics, or in graphs, or on a balance sheet. Instead I see one individual with one set of dreams and fears, and then another, and then another, each with their own stars to reach for, each part of a family, each at the heart of a community now in need of help and hope."
Just so. If only the Prime Minister would heed his own advice. During this recession, Mr Brown's greatest political problem has been his conspicuous failure to bridge the gap between the grand economic argument of summit and seminar room and the suffering of individuals and their families. In most of his pronouncements on the subject, the PM sounds more concerned to prove that he is right, and that his economic analysis is irreproachable, than to draw breath, descend from Mount Olympus for a minute, and address calmly and empathetically the anxieties and exasperation of the voters.
Mr Brown is doubtless right that no strategic response to this downturn will achieve very much if it is not "global". But the word "global" and all the technocratic phrases the PM deploys mean precisely nothing to the housewife who is trying to make ends meet, to the homeowner worried that he will lose his home, or to the pensioner fretful about the future. Gordon treats the voters as if they were at a Cabinet Office away-day: it is all too forensic, too dry, too bloodless.
This is why it matters that Mr Brown apologises in some shape or form for what has happened to the UK economy. There are other reasons, too. As long as he refuses to do so, the apology – or absence thereof – will be the story. In this context, George Osborne's speech in Birmingham on Friday was a crafty intervention, setting out in detail why, precisely, Gordon should say "sorry" for the failures of the financial regulation system he established and for Britain's addiction to debt.
Secondly, the issue has become yet another emblem of the various rifts within the Cabinet. On Tuesday, Alistair Darling told The Daily Telegraph that "all of us have to have the humility to accept that over the last few years, things got out of alignment". Then another notional ally of the PM, Ed Balls, stormed in with his own nostra culpa: "We underestimated the risks, we weren't tough enough."
This public prodding from senior colleagues could scarcely be clearer. They want their boss to go further, faster and – above all – this time with feeling. The best Gordon could manage when interviewed by Nick Robinson on the Today programme last week was to offer a platitudinous observation about apologies as a genre. "I think it's very important," said Brown, "to recognise that where mistakes have been made you've got to say, 'You know, this is a mistake'." Yes, Prime Minister.
There was a truly toe-curling moment in his speech to the Scottish Labour conference on Friday. "And I'm sorry I couldn't bring Barack Obama back with me to Dundee," said Brown, in appallingly kittenish mood, "though he will be with me and the other G20 leaders in London next month." The idea of the President of the United States as a sort of travelling good-luck charm – I always assumed that Gordon had a lucky vest, or something similar – is too embarrassing to dwell upon. But the remark was not entirely frivolous: Brown really has invested extraordinary hopes in the G20 summit in April as one of the defining geopolitical gatherings of our time, and one that will significantly boost his own chances of electoral revival.
Here's how much difference the G20 will have on Gordon's prospects at the next general election: nada. Nichts. Nul Points. Zip. Bugger all. Whatever its intrinsic merits, its potential triumphs of negotiation and its success as an exercise in the spectacle and choreography of collaborative power, the G20 is – almost by definition – an event that cannot speak to those whose financial pain will be the true backdrop to all its deliberations.
Political pageantry can be immensely moving, but timing and context are all. And pageantry doesn't count for much at a time when the voters' horizons are shrinking, their field of vision narrowing bleakly to the here and now, to making ends meet, to cancelling family holidays this year, to fearing that their homes will be repossessed. Precisely at the moment that Gordon's vistas are broadening as never before, to the point that he can address Congress itself with poise and confidence, the very opposite is happening to the voters who will decide his fate.
Now more than ever, their political vista begins and ends at the kitchen table and the bills spread across it. They don't want to hear jokes about bringing Obama back home like a souvenir. They don't care much, if at all, whether London is hosting a big summit. They are suffering financially and they want to know who is going to do something about it. That's all.
This is the real reason that Brown must say sorry: not in order to subject himself to some abject humiliation or for profoundly moral and theological reasons. The apology that is required is not penitence on bended knee, but an outstretched hand: "Most of these things happened on my watch in my 10 years as Chancellor. I am sorry that you are suffering financially and I am sorry for my part in that. I wish I could have done more to prevent it. Now I seek your trust so I can repair the damage and prevent it ever happening again." Not so awful, is it, Gordon?
Since American history has such a persuasive power over this Prime Minister, let me remind him of what Truman's vice-president, Alben W Barkley, said of political apologies: "If you have to eat crow, eat it while it's hot." Sage words from Kentucky. And I'd get chewing if I were you, Gordon. This particular crow is getting cold mighty fast.

What are the most important parts of this news article? | This news article stresses the necessity for former UK Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, to apologize for the condition of the UK economy during the global recession, and to demonstrate empathy for the people who have suffered because of it. Key points from the article include:
1. Brown was known for his admiration of America and was praised for his oratory skills while addressing both houses of Congress during a visit to the United States.
2. The author believes Brown failed to bridge the gap between grand economic arguments and the suffering of individuals, often appearing more concerned with his economic analysis than connecting with the anxieties of the voters.

Terry: no, only the yellow one, for my stomach
Greg: Ok, I'll send them to your hotel. You should have them by Wednesday.
What was going on in that conversation? | In the conversation, Terry tells their dad, Greg, that they forgot their pills. They are likely away from home, as they mention being in a hotel. To break down and understand the conversation, we can analyze it step-by-step:
1. Terry informs Greg that they forgot their pills, referring to some sort of medication they usually take.
Reasoning: Terry needs to let Greg know there is an issue with their medication.
2. Greg asks Terry if they forgot all of their pills, trying to clarify the situation and determine the extent of the issue.
Reasoning: Greg wants to understand the problem better so he can help Terry.
3. Terry specifies that they only forgot the yellow pill, which is for their stomach. This provides more detail on the situation and the context of the forgotten medication.
Reasoning: Terry wants to make sure Greg knows precisely which medication they need.
4. Greg reassures Terry that he will send the pills to their hotel and estimates that they should receive them by Wednesday.
Reasoning: Greg wants to resolve the problem and help Terry, making sure they get the necessary medication in a timely manner.
In summary, in this conversation, Terry informs their dad Greg that they forgot their medication for their stomach and need it. Greg agrees to send the medication to Terry's hotel, providing an estimated time of arrival.

Solve 234 - 307 + 313 = 10*t for t. | Alright, let me help you solve this math problem step by step. Think of t as a box that we need to put a number into.
First, let's look at the math problem inside the brackets:
234 - 307 = -73 (Subtract 307 from 234)
Now, let's add 313 to the result we got:
-73 + 313 = 240 (Add 313 to -73)
Now our equation looks like this:
240 = 10 * t (or 10t)
To find out what number t is, we need to figure out what number we should multiply by 10 to get 240. We can do this by dividing 240 by 10:
240 ÷ 10 = 24 (Divide 240 by 10)
So, t = 24. There you go! The number we should put in the box (t) is 24. |

But Lambert told BBC WM: "I won't let this place feel negative or down.
"The players are in the same mindset," said Lambert, 47, who won the European Cup with Borussia Dortmund in 1997 then did his coaching badges in Germany.
"I played in Germany. I know to handle different things. And I tend to fall back on that mentality.
"My mindset's different from most," admits the ex-Livingston, Wycombe, Colchester, Norwich, Aston Villa and Blackburn boss. "My whole outlook changed when I went over to Germany. And I don't intend to let it go.
"There's a time to laugh and a time to be serious and a time to be level headed.
"The big moments in games have gone against us. But you just concentrate on getting to the end of the season with as many points as you can."
Wolves go into Tuesday's trip to former Wolves boss Mick McCarthy's Ipswich Town on the back of a six-game losing run.
Since winning at Barnsley on 31 January, just three days after their FA Cup fourth-round win over Liverpool at Anfield, Wolves have lost five successive Championship games.
But the wily McCarthy is not fooled, admitting that the reports he has had on Wolves are that the luckless Molineux men are not getting the points their performances deserve.
"It looked like Paul had them going and that they were going to be a force," McCarthy told BBC Radio Suffolk. "But I think they've actually been playing better than their results will testify to.
"I know they played very well on Saturday at Reading and were unfortunate to lose. But it doesn't really matter you how you play. It's about results and the same applies to us too."
Now into his fifth year as Ipswich Town manager, McCarthy has just passed the fifth anniversary of his exit as Wolves manager.
Although he has generally happy memories of his time at Molineux, capped by leading Wolves to the Premier League in 2009, he still wonders about what might have been.
"It's all history now but I loved my time there," the 58-year-old added. "I have no resentment at the way it all ended. If you get the sack, it never ends up as you wish. But I still don't think we'd have gone down. We'd been in that position before in the bottom three and stayed up. We'd got enough games to get out of it.
"It wasn't like the dressing room was against me. It wasn't like Leicester. They sacked the manager, then suddenly win two games and look brilliant.
"Poor TC (Terry Connor - now McCarthy's coach again at Ipswich) was left on his own. And I'm sure we were better together than we were individually."
What is a summary of this text? | In this story, a soccer team called Wolves had a bad game, and they are close to being in a very low rank. Their coach, Lambert, is trying to make sure the team stays positive and doesn't feel sad about it. He has experience playing and coaching in Germany and uses that knowledge to help the team. They have a new game coming up against another team, and their former coach, Mick McCarthy, thinks they have been playing better than their scores show. McCarthy still likes the Wolves team even though he doesn't work with them anymore. |

Mary-Kate Olsen is not the same girl you watched grow up on Full House alongside twin sister Ashley. She's now a fashion powerhouse who has forged an identity all her own. Marie Claire's Kimberly Cutter gets an up-close look at the intensely private star, goes inside the studio of her label, The Row, and looks back at her anything-but-ordinary upbringing in our latest issue, on sale at newsstands now.
Often seen yet rarely heard, Mary-Kate's cover shoot at The Inn in Quogue, New York, sets the sartorial tone she wears a mash-up of designers, from her own leather jacket to mainstays like Valentino and Catherine Malandrino to newcomer Christopher Kane and a humorous one, with an antler headband.

Outside of the spotlight, the 24-year-old bohemian star loves designing for her mix of labels from The Row to her and Ashley's lower-priced Olsenboye line for JCPenney because "it's kind of like a mask to hide behind." In fact, Mary-Kate likens her and her sister to "little monkey performers" when referencing her childhood in front of the cameras: "I look at old photos of me, and I don't feel connected to them at all I would never wish my upbringing on anyone "
See the exclusive photos from Mary-Kate's September issue spread.
And when the topics turn to her tabloid-plastered problems with an eating disorder (she entered treatment for one in 2004) and with a hard-partying lifestyle (including her time with the late Heath Ledger), she only says that she's learned to seek help when she needs it: "I think it's really important to be able to talk when something's wrong. I learned at a really young age that if you don't talk about it, it can drive you insane."
Her focus right now, as Cutter writes, is all to do with fashion. From the inception of The Row to their early successes "It took us a year-and-a-half to make the first T-shirt," she says Mary-Kate takes it more seriously than anything else: "I still read scripts, and if something great comes along, that's great but this is my day job. The Row is where I go every day."

When the Frankish rulers established the system of feudalism, the Bishops of Utrecht came to exercise worldly power as prince-bishops. The territory of the bishopric not only included the modern province of Utrecht (Nedersticht, 'lower Sticht'), but also extended to the northeast. The feudal conflict of the Middle Ages heavily affected Utrecht. The prince-bishopric was involved in almost continuous conflicts with the Counts of Holland and the Dukes of Guelders. The Veluwe region was seized by Guelders, but large areas in the modern province of Overijssel remained as the Oversticht.
What hapend when Frankish rulers established the system of feudalism | When the Frankish rulers established the system of feudalism, the Bishops of Utrecht started to have more power, like a prince. They controlled the land around Utrecht, which is now a part of the Netherlands, and even more land in the northeast. During this time, there were many fights between these prince-bishops and other powerful people, like the Counts of Holland and the Dukes of Guelders. Some land, like the Veluwe region, was taken by Guelders, while other land, in the area now called Overijssel, stayed with the prince-bishops. So, the feudalism system made the Bishops of Utrecht important leaders who controlled land and had many battles with other leaders. |

Megan took more naps during the day than Erin because | Megan was a little baby. Just like kittens or puppies, little babies like Megan need lots of sleep to grow big and strong. Even if she seems to be asleep a lot, it's because her body is working hard to learn new things, like how to grab toys with her hands, recognize mom and dad's faces, or roll over on her own.
On the other hand, Erin was a bit older. Erin was already five years old - just like you are now. When you get older, you don't need to sleep as much during the day because your body isn't growing as quickly. You're already big enough to play, learn new things, and explore the world around you. So, while Megan was often napping, Erin was busy playing, learning, and having fun. |
You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation. Think like you are answering to a five year old. | I had a dream about how I met my ex boyfriend and then what would have happened if we had never been together. What does this mean?
My ex boyfriend said he can't talk to me because he has a new partner. I feel betrayed as I would never replace our friendship and what we had for 8 years with a new boyfriend. My loyalty and friendship means so much to me and not to him. What should I do?
Multi-choice problem: Are these two questions inquiring about the same information?
Options are:
a). no
b). yes | Sweetie, you asked me two questions and they are about different things.
The first question is about a dream you had about meeting your ex-boyfriend and what it means. When we dream, our mind can show us many things, like memories or what we think may happen. Dreams are just our minds playing with ideas, so don't worry too much about it.
The second question is about your ex-boyfriend not talking to you because he has a new partner, and you feel sad and betrayed. It can be hard when a friend we cared for a long time, like your ex-boyfriend, doesn't want to be friends because of a new person in their life. It's important to remember that people and friendships can change over time, and sometimes we have to let go when it's better for everyone. As for what you should do, you could try talking to new people and making new friends. Giving everyone some space might help you feel better too.
So, the answer to the multi-choice problem is:
a). no - Because the questions are about different things, sweetie. |

They call her Nina, but no one knows her name, her age - or even what language she speaks.
The little girl - who is thought to be around three years old - has touched hearts in Croatia after she was found in a park in the town of Velika Gorica a month ago.
Authorities believe she may have become lost in the tide of people fleeing war-torn Syria for a better life in Western Europe.
But they admit they have no idea where she comes from or what language she speaks, and are hoping media attention will help reunite her with her family.
Croatia's Family Minister Milanka Opacic invited journalists and film crews to meet Nina at Zagreb's Child Care Centre to help find "anyone anywhere" who recognises her.
"So far we have no new information, we still can't figure out the language and country of origin of the child," she said.
"Today we decided to ask you, the media, to help find out her identity.
"The media can place her face in foreign media, due to your international co-operation.
"It's very important to us that anyone anywhere recognises her, so we can contact any members of her family."
More than 330,000 migrants have entered Croatia in the last two months.

Germany's interior minister has urged Albanians to stop going to his country to seek political asylum as their claims are considered groundless and will be rejected.
Thomas de Maiziere expressed "great concern" over the fact that about 50,000 Albanians have asked for asylum in Germany this year, coming second only to Syrian refugees.
During a visit to Albania Friday, he said Albanians migrate to Germany to seek jobs and improve their living standards.
De Maiziere said all requests would be denied in a faster, three-week process, after Albania was included in a list of safe countries.
"There is no reason for Albanians to ask for political asylum," he said." Their country is democratic."

Greek authorities say the bodies of five more migrants have been found in the eastern Aegean Sea, which hundreds of thousands have crossed in frail boats this year seeking a better life in Europe.
The coast guard said Friday that three men and a woman were found dead over the past two days in the sea off Lesbos. The eastern island is where most of the migrants head from the nearby Turkish coast, paying large sums to smugglers for a berth on overcrowded, unseaworthy vessels.
The body of another man was found Thursday off the islet of Agathonissi.
Well over half a million people have reached the Greek islands so far this year — a record number of arrivals — and the journey has proved fatal for hundreds.

The Spanish government said Friday it expects a first group of 19 refugees to arrive in Madrid on Sunday from Italy as part of a European Union relocation program.
Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria told reporters the group comprised mostly Eritreans and included many women. She said the 19 are part of a group of 50 refugees due to come for relocation.
She added that the government has approved plans for the resettlement in Spain this year of 854 refugees in countries bordering Syria.
She said this is part of plans for Spain to accept 1,449 refugees over the next two years under the EU resettlement program.

France is busing asylum-seekers from elsewhere in Europe to small towns in the French heartland, after months of criticism that French authorities weren't doing their share to take in refugees and other migrants pouring into Europe this year.
The Interior Ministry said in a statement that 18 men and one woman who fled Eritrea are being bused Friday from Italy to the Loire Valley region in western France. They are among 200 people France is taking from Italy and Greece this month, 300 next month and 400 in January, the statement said.
France has agreed to take in 30,000 refugees from around Europe as part of EU-wide agreements — compared with hundreds of thousands in neighboring Germany, and 4 million Syrian refugees taken in by Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan.

They call her Nina, but no one knows her real name, where she came from or what language she speaks.
Authorities have been struggling to find out the identity of a small girl found in park in a Croatian town a month ago, believed to be a refugee who got lost in a tide of people passing through the country toward Western Europe.
Officials have invited media to take pictures of the girl, who is about three years old, in the capital of Zagreb to help locate her parents. She was found in the central town of Velika Gorica.
Croatia's Minister of Family Milanka Opacic says "we have been unable to figure out what language the child speaks."

Thousands of refugees and other migrants are heading to the Greek mainland from the eastern Aegean islands after the country's seamen's union called off rolling 48-hour ferry strikes.
The strike, which began Monday, had stranded an estimated 25,000 people on the islands. Ferries began operating again Friday morning.
Several ships dedicated to refugees set sail from the islands of Lesbos and Chios, while others were taking ships from other islands on the regular passenger ferry service.
The ferries are heading to Greece's main port of Piraeus near Athens and the northern port cities of Thessaloniki and Kavala.
More than 600,000 people have reached Greece from Turkey so far this year. The vast majority don't want to stay, and head north through the Balkans to other, more prosperous European Union countries.

Police say they have arrested two Albanians and a Turk on smuggling charges for arranging for Turkish citizens to get into European Union countries without visas through Albania.
Police said in a statement Friday that the three were arrested at Tirana airport. They are accused of helping Turkish citizens, who need no visa to enter Albania, move on to Montenegro, Serbia and Hungary as a means of making their way to other EU countries.
They allegedly charged 3,600 euros ($3,900) per person. The three face up to 10 years' imprisonment if found guilty.
Albania is not on the route of refugees and migrants from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries heading to the European Union. The main route is from Turkey to Greek islands, then north through Macedonia and Serbia toward other EU nations.
The government says, however, it has made preparations to shelter refugees should they begin arriving in Albania during the winter.

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has invited mayors of eastern Aegean islands bearing the brunt of the current refugee influx to Athens for an emergency meeting on how to deal with the crisis.
The meeting, scheduled for midday Friday, was also to be attended by the north and south Aegean regional governors as well as mayors and religious officials from the islands of Lesbos, Samos, Kos, Leros and Chios, and government officials.
Greece is the main gateway into the European Union for hundreds of thousands of people fleeing war and poverty at home. The vast majority arrive after a short but dangerous sea journey to Greek islands from the nearby Turkish coast and then head to the mainland and on to more prosperous northern EU countries through the Balkans.
Hundreds have drowned, including many children, when their overcrowded and unseaworthy boats have sunk or capsized. |||||

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. | Do these questions have the same meaning?
What budget belt grinder would you recommend for a beginner knife maker?
What belt grinder should a (beginner) knife maker own? | To determine if these questions have the same meaning, I will analyze each of them step by step and then compare their meanings side by side:
Question 1:
"What budget belt grinder would you recommend for a beginner knife maker?"
This question is asking for a recommendation on a budget belt grinder, specifically for someone who is new to knife making. The focus is on affordability and suitability for beginners.
Question 2:
"What belt grinder should a (beginner) knife maker own?"
This question is asking for a suggestion on a belt grinder for a beginner knife maker. While it does not explicitly mention the budget aspect, it considers the needs and requirements of a new knife maker.
Now, I will compare the meanings of the two questions:
Both questions focus on belt grinder recommendations for beginner knife makers, so their subject matter is quite similar. However, the first question explicitly emphasizes the budget aspect, while the second question does not. This makes their meanings not entirely identical, but closely related.
In conclusion, these questions have very similar meanings but are not exactly the same. The first question is asking for a budget-friendly belt grinder recommendation, while the second question is asking for a general belt grinder recommendation suitable for beginners. |

(CNN) -- Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will go head-to-head later this month to decide which football club is the finest in Europe but, when it comes to the bottom line, there is only one winner. The city rivals will battle it out in the Champions League final on May 24 in Lisbon, but Atletico look to have their work cut out given the financial disparity between the two clubs. Nine-time champions of Europe Real top a Forbes list of the world's most valuable football teams, with Los Blancos reportedly worth $3.44 billion. The Santiago Bernabeu stadium team, which boasts the talents of FIFA Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo, posted a revenue of $675 million for 2012-13, with an operating income of $172m.
Barcelona are ranked second by
OPTIONS:
- Atletico, valued at $3.28 billion, with Manchester United worth an estimated $2.81 billion in third spot.
- Atletico Madrid, valued at $3.28 billion, with Manchester United worth an estimated $2.81 billion in third spot.
- Barcelona, valued at $3.28 billion, with Manchester United worth an estimated $2.81 billion in third spot.
- Bayern Munich, valued at $3.28 billion, with Manchester United worth an estimated $2.81 billion in third spot.
- CNN, valued at $3.28 billion, with Manchester United worth an estimated $2.81 billion in third spot.
- Champions League, valued at $3.28 billion, with Manchester United worth an estimated $2.81 billion in third spot.
- Cristiano Ronaldo, valued at $3.28 billion, with Manchester United worth an estimated $2.81 billion in third spot.
- Europe, valued at $3.28 billion, with Manchester United worth an estimated $2.81 billion in third spot.
- European Champions League, valued at $3.28 billion, with Manchester United worth an estimated $2.81 billion in third spot.
- FIFA Ballon d'Or, valued at $3.28 billion, with Manchester United worth an estimated $2.81 billion in third spot.
- Forbes, valued at $3.28 billion, with Manchester United worth an estimated $2.81 billion in third spot.
- Lisbon, valued at $3.28 billion, with Manchester United worth an estimated $2.81 billion in third spot.
- Los Blancos, valued at $3.28 billion, with Manchester United worth an estimated $2.81 billion in third spot.
- Manchester United, valued at $3.28 billion, with Manchester United worth an estimated $2.81 billion in third spot.
- Real Madrid, valued at $3.28 billion, with Manchester United worth an estimated $2.81 billion in third spot.
- Santiago Bernabeu, valued at $3.28 billion, with Manchester United worth an estimated $2.81 billion in third spot.
| Barcelona, valued at $3.28 billion, with Manchester United worth an estimated $2.81 billion in third spot.
This is the correct answer because the story is talking about the ranking of football teams by their value. The sentence starts with, "Barcelona are ranked second by," so we need to complete the sentence by mentioning the value of Barcelona and the team ranked third. All other options mention incorrect teams or unrelated entities for the second spot, which is why they are wrong. |

You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. | Please answer the following question: Question: What could happen to a person if no one is around him or her? Choices: - feel lonely - graduate from high school - enter college - cross street - be alone The rationale to choose "feel lonely" as the answer is that:
A: | Feeling lonely is the most appropriate answer among the given choices because it directly relates to the emotional and psychological state a person may experience when they are deprived of the company of others. Loneliness is a complex emotional response to isolation, wherein the individual's need for social interaction is unmet. With no one around them, a person may feel disconnected, neglected or uncared for, leading to them feeling lonely.
Graduation from high school and entering college are milestones in a person's life that occur irrespective of whether or not they are surrounded by others. Although having a community or a support system may influence their academic experiences, these events are not dependent on the direct presence of other people. Graduation and entering college are results of a person's academic progress and not directly correlated with their social interactions.
Similarly, crossing a street is a simple, daily action that can be performed without the need for others. While it may be safer, easier, or preferable to cross the street with others around, it's entirely possible for a person to perform this action independently. The presence of others does not significantly impact this activity.
The choice "be alone" is not the best answer, as it only describes the physical state of the person, not necessarily the emotional impact of being alone. It is possible for an individual to be alone without feeling lonely, for instance in situations where they prefer solitude or need personal space. Being alone does not automatically result in loneliness.
Therefore, among the given options, "feel lonely" is the most appropriate answer when considering the emotional and psychological ramifications of being without the company of other people. The experience of being alone without a support system or human connection can lead to significant feelings of loneliness, negatively impacting a person's mental health and overall wellbeing. |

You are an AI assistant that helps people find information. | Lizzy: Miriam takes care of the flowers in the botanical garden. She works 5 hours a day and can take care of 60 different flowers in one day. How many flowers can Miriam take care of in 6 days of work?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution: | To calculate how many flowers Miriam can take care of in 6 days of work, we first need to determine how many flowers she takes care of per day:
Miriam takes care of 60 different flowers in one day.
Now, we can find the total number of flowers she takes care of in 6 days:
Total flowers in 6 days = Flowers per day × Number of days
Total flowers in 6 days = 60 flowers/day × 6 days
Total flowers in 6 days = 360 flowers
So, Miriam can take care of 360 flowers in 6 days of work. |

NEW ORLEANS -- Ex-House Speaker Newt Gingrich is spending a day among conservative activists acting like a WH'12 contender, hosting events and offering a packed ballroom a vision for the GOP he may one day lead.
Keynoting the Southern Republican Leadership Conference Thursday night, Gingrich used his nearly hour-long address to alternatively slam Pres. Obama while laying out his own vision for the future of the GOP.
"What the left wants to do is to say we're the 'Party of No,'" Gingrich said. "I think we should decide we're going to be the party of yes."
Gingrich urged SRLC attendees to advocate for common GOP principles that closely mirror the '94 Contract with America. He said the GOP supports balanced budgets, tight controls on spending and what he called "the right kind" of health care reform. "There are many things that we can say yes to," he said. "Our first answer should be, 'Let me tell you what I'm for,' and the answer should be first principles."
The long-time leader of the GOP's intellectual wing still offers pointed barbs at an admin he sees as "the most radical" in the nation's history. "This is going to be, in economic terms, the worst administration since Herbert Hoover," he said.
He offered bullets on his resume intermittently throughout his speech, reminding activists of his central role in crafting the GOP's return to the majority for the first time in 40 years -- and his role in re-electing the first GOP majority in 64 years.
His experience will play a role in the GOP's strategy to roll back the health care overhaul. But he spent a chunk of the time discussing the conversation he wants to have with conservatives and Americans over the next three years.
"I used to be Speaker of the House and I actually understand the legislative process," he said. The "repeal and replace" message, he noted, might not succeed in '11 -- as Dems have said -- but he said that with a GOP president and a GOP Congress in '13, they will repeal all the "radical" legislation Obama has gotten through.
And given the reaction he's received, it's clear Gingrich will be a major player. He retains an almost cult following among conservative activists. At the SRLC, as he did earlier this year at the Conservative Political Action Committee, he entered from the back of the hall to the '80s power ballad "Eye of the Tiger" instead of from behind the podium, reveling in the crush of supporters.
But major speeches to conservative activists aren't Gingrich's only forays into the WH'12 water. Before delivering his keynote address, Gingrich hosted his fifth campaign-style town hall event at a nearby hotel. He also met with a group of small business owners to hear their concerns over a sagging economy.
He has considered running for the WH before, but demurred. This time, Gingrich told an audience member he believes he and his wife will decide whether to make a WH bid in '11. "That'll [be up to] God and the American people," he said.
If he decides to run, he'll have a fan base. After one event, local Tea Party leader Evan Spiceland said that Gingrich has always been the smartest of the GOP field, and that the rest have to sell themselves to activists. Before his SRLC address, several attendees expressed admiration for ex-AK Gov. Sarah Palin (R), but said they backed Gingrich because he was a more complete package. ||||| AP
NEW ORLEANS -- Newt Gingrich made a rock star's entrance at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference Thursday night, entering to a standing ovation as the song "Eye of the Tiger" blared over the speakers and lights shined out over the crowd.
When Gingrich eventually got to the podium, he delivered a self-assured address peppered with historical allusions. Democrats in Washington, he said, had put together a "perfect unrepresentative left-wing machine dedicated to a secular socialist future."
Mr. Obama is "the most radical president in American history," Gingrich said. "He has said, 'I run a machine, I own Washington, and there is nothing you can do about it.'"
"What we need is a president, not an athlete," Gingrich said during a question and answer period after his speech. He added: "Shooting three point shots may be clever, but it doesn't put anybody to work."
Gingrich discussed passage of the health care bill, saying the "decisive" election of Sen. Scott Brown sent a message that Democrats decided to ignore in order to "ram through" the bill against the wishes of the American people.
"The longer Obama talks the less the American people believe him," Gingrich said, citing the decline in poll numbers for the health care bill as the president kept trying to sell it to the public.
Gingrich said that when Republicans take back the House and Senate in the midterm elections they should "refuse to fund" the administration's proposals, drawing huge applause from the crowd.
Add a Republican president, he said, and the goal should be to "repeal every radical bill" passed by the current administration.
Gingrich, a potential 2012 Republican presidential candidate, stressed his conception of the current administration as part of "secular, socialist machine."
"On every front," he said, "they're increasing government" and trying to "micromanage our lives," raise taxes, increase government power and strip citizens of their power.
"This is a fundamental fight over the core definition of America," Gingrich said. He told the crowd they should be talking about culture, not politics. "The more we make this a choice about the nature of America, the weaker they are," he said.
Gingrich told a story about the Polish people when they were resisting communism, who he said came up with the slogan, "two plus two equals four," taking it from the writings of Albert Camus and George Orwell. He said the slogan grew from the fact that the authorities can't handle the truth, tying it to what he suggested were nonsensical numbers offered by Democrats about the health care bill.
"There are more of us than there are of the government," the former House speaker said, midway through his story about Polish resistance to communism. "So why are we afraid of them?"
Asked if he would run for president, he said he would make a decision in February 2011. He said for the moment it was important for Republicans to "get out and campaign this year to win this year's election."
The left, Gingrich said, wants "to be dishonest about who we are" and cast Republicans as "the party of no."
He said the GOP needs to be the party of yes -- by saying yes to a balanced budget through controlled spending, more jobs through tax cuts, reforming government, stopping people from stealing from Medicaid and Medicare, spending more on getting soldiers better equipment, and "the right kind of health reform" and energy plan.
"My point is, there are many things that we can say yes to, and if we would discipline ourselves to start off every conversation with...'let me tell you what I'm for,'" Gingrich said, Republicans will be on the right track.
Gingrich predicted that "this administration is going to be a catastrophic failure," deeming it the worst since Herbert Hoover from an economic perspective. He pushed for small business tax cuts over government spending,
"Quite frankly, I'm tired of finding new ways to help people who aren't working, I want to find new ways to help people who are working," he said.
Gingrich said Americans will choose Republicans in the coming elections if Republicans can frame the discussion between what they offer and what is offered by Democrats. He said President Obama had helped set the stage for a comeback with his "incompetence."
The debate should be framed, he said, not as "Obama vs. Anti-Obama, but America vs. a secular socialist machine."

What is a summary? | Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich made an energetic appearance at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, positioning himself as a potential 2021 White House contender. Gingrich delivered a keynote address, using the opportunity to criticize President Obama and share his vision for the GOP's future.
Gingrich took aim at the Obama administration, which he labelled as "the most radical" in history, comparing its economic impact unfavourably to Herbert Hoover's administration. He offered his perspective for a GOP-led future, focused on principles akin to the '94 Contract with America, including balanced budgets, tight spending controls and what he referred to as "the right kind" of health care reform.
At his appearance, he advocated for the GOP to position itself as a 'party of yes', emphasizing its support for aforementioned principles. He pledged that under a GOP president and Congress, all "radical" legislation passed under Obama would be repudiated.
Gingrich also hosted a town hall event and met with a group of small business owners to address their economic concerns. Though he had considered running for Presidency before but decided against it, he indicated to an audience member that he might make another bid for the White House. Supporters at the event, including the local Tea Party leader, voiced their admiration and support for Gingrich.
The former House Speaker also outlined his perception of the Obama administration as part of a "secular, socialist machine", suggesting that it was working to increase government power, raise taxes and strip citizens of their autonomy. He emphasized that the ongoing political battle is fundamentally about defending the core principles of America. Ultimately, Gingrich predicted the failure of the Obama administration and urged Republicans to frame the debate not as "Obama vs. Anti-Obama, but America vs. a secular socialist machine".
Overall, Gingrich used the conference to make a strong case for Republican values, champion conservative ideologies, and lay the groundwork for a potential presidential campaign. |

You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. | Sentence: The Alhambra ship beam is 8.3m and it has a top speed of 18.52.
What data can be extracted from this sentence? | This sentence provides valuable information about the Alhambra ship, specifically its beam width and top speed. By analyzing these details, we can gain a deeper understanding of the ship's design, dimensions, and performance capabilities.
1. Beam width: The Alhambra ship has a beam width of 8.3 meters. The beam of a ship refers to the width of the vessel at its widest point. This measurement is a crucial aspect of the ship's design, as it affects the overall stability, maneuverability, and capacity. A wider beam generally implies a more stable and roomier ship, while a narrower beam may allow for a sleeker design and higher speeds.
2. Top speed: The Alhambra ship can reach a top speed of 18.52 knots. This piece of information is essential for understanding the vessel's performance capabilities and determining its suitability for different kinds of missions or transportation purposes. Factors such as the ship's hull design, propulsion system, and overall displacement contribute to its top speed.
Further data analysis and implications:
Based on this information, several inferences can be made about other aspects related to the Alhambra ship.
A. Type and purpose of the ship: The dimensions and speed mentioned in the sentence can provide clues about the ship's classification and intended use. For instance, the given beam width and top speed might indicate that the Alhambra is a relatively smaller and agile vessel. This could suggest that it is more suitable for coastal patrol, tourism, or short-range transportation.
B. Hull design and stability: A ship with an 8.3-meter beam is likely to have a fairly shallow draft, meaning it can navigate through shallow waters or access ports that may not be accessible to larger vessels. Additionally, the stability provided by the beam width allows the ship to maintain its course and balance even in rough sea conditions.
C. Engine and propulsion system: To achieve a top speed of 18.52 knots, the Alhambra ship must have a powerful propulsion system. This could include multiple engines or advanced propeller designs that contribute to the vessel's efficiency and speed capabilities.
D. Passenger and cargo capacity: The ship's beam width can provide an indication of its overall size and, therefore, the amount of passenger and cargo space available on board. Although exact dimensions and capacities of the Alhambra ship are not provided in the sentence, a wider beam may suggest more space on board compared to ships with a narrower beam of similar length.
E. Operational Costs and Efficiency: Other factors such as fuel consumption, maintenance, and crew requirements can be indirectly inferred based on the ship's speed and dimensions. Generally, smaller and faster vessels may require less fuel and maintenance compared to larger, slower ships. However, other design and technological features can also impact the operational efficiency of the vessel.
In conclusion, the given sentence provides essential data on the Alhambra ship's beam width and top speed. These details can be further analyzed to develop a deeper understanding of the vessel's design, performance, stability, and functionality. Additional research and information would help to paint a more comprehensive picture of the Alhambra ship's overall capabilities, purpose, and potential applications. |
You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. | Can you generate a question with a factual answer? | Question: What are the primary functions of the mitochondria in eukaryotic cells?
Detailed answer:
Mitochondria, often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell, are critical organelles within eukaryotic cells that serve several essential functions, the most notable of which is the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through cellular respiration. In addition to generating ATP, mitochondria also play a crucial role in several other cellular processes:
1. Energy production: Through a complex process known as oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondria convert nutrients, such as glucose and fatty acids, into ATP. ATP serves as an energy "currency" that cells can use to perform various functions, including protein synthesis, DNA replication, and transportation of molecules across cellular membranes.
2. Calcium regulation: Mitochondria help maintain the optimal concentration of calcium ions (Ca2+) within the cell. Ca2+ ions are essential for proper cellular functions, such as signal transduction, muscle contraction, and neurotransmitter release.
3. Fatty acid metabolism: Mitochondria are responsible for the breakdown of long-chain fatty acids through a process called beta-oxidation. This process generates energy in the form of ATP and provides acetyl-CoA molecules required for the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle or TCA cycle).
4. Apoptosis regulation: Mitochondria play a vital role in regulating programmed cell death, or apoptosis. When cellular damage occurs due to stress, aging, or other factors, mitochondria can release several pro-apoptotic factors – such as cytochrome c – into the cell cytoplasm, activating specific pathways that lead to the cell's demise.
5. Heat production: Some cells, especially those in brown adipose tissue, can generate heat through a process known as non-shivering thermogenesis. Within these cells, mitochondria uncouple the ATP production process from oxidative phosphorylation, allowing energy to dissipate as heat instead of being captured in ATP molecules. This process is vital for maintaining body temperature in mammals.
6. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production: Mitochondria generate ROS, such as superoxide radicals and hydrogen peroxide, as byproducts of oxidative phosphorylation. While ROS can cause cellular damage, they also serve essential functions in cell signaling and immune responses. Mitochondria must maintain a delicate balance to prevent excessive ROS production, which can lead to oxidative stress and damage cellular components.
In summary, mitochondria are vital cellular organelles in eukaryotes responsible for ATP production, calcium regulation, fatty acid metabolism, apoptosis regulation, heat production, and reactive oxygen species production.
These critical functions make mitochondria indispensable to the proper functioning of eukaryotic cells. |

Title: We bought this Acer a year ago Review: the 2x 2x 8x model and it failed after about 14 months. We burned about 150 CDs over that time and felt it was OK for the money. But now that it is dead, I feel ripped off. My brothers HP did exactly the same thing. died after 14 months. If you can buy extended warranties on these drives, it is highly recommended. Answer:
Answer: | Based on the given product review, it can be concluded that the reviewer does not have an entirely positive experience with the Acer 2x 2x 8x model. This assessment can be understood through several key points addressed in the review.
Firstly, the reviewer mentioned that the device failed after 14 months of use, which indicates a relatively short lifespan for the product. This is a negative aspect of the review, as customers typically seek products with good durability and longevity.
Secondly, the reviewer burned approximately 150 CDs during this time and initially felt that the product's performance was acceptable for the price they paid. While this statement may suggest some level of satisfaction, it is important to note that the reviewer's opinion changed when the device stopped working. The feeling of being "ripped off" highlights a strong negative sentiment toward the product, as the reviewer no longer believes it provided good value for money.
Furthermore, the reviewer mentioned that their brother experienced a similar situation with a different product (an HP model). This information implies that the problem might not be exclusive to the Acer 2x 2x 8x model, and that the reviewer is not satisfied with the overall quality and durability of products in this category.
Lastly, the suggestion to purchase extended warranties for such devices further emphasizes the reviewer's negative experience. This recommendation is indicative of the reviewer wanting to help potential buyers avoid encountering the same issues they faced, signaling a lack of confidence in the product's quality and performance.
In summary, the product review is not positive, as it is rooted in the reviewer's dissatisfaction with the Acer 2x 2x 8x model's durability, performance, and perceived value for money. Moreover, the reviewer implies that other similar products may share these issues, and suggests customers consider purchasing extended warranty options for added protection. |

Solve -10*k - 1219 = k - 1252 for k. | Okay, little buddy, let's solve this equation step by step!
We need to find the value of 'k' that makes the left side of the equation equal to the right side.
Here's the equation:
-10*k - 1219 = k - 1252
First, let's move the 'k' from the right side of the equation to the left side. To do that, we'll add 'k' to both sides. So, it looks like this:
-10*k + k - 1219 = -1252
Now, let's combine the 'k's:
(-10 + 1)*k - 1219 = -1252
-9*k - 1219 = -1252
Next, we want to move the -1219 to the right side of the equation. To do that, we'll add 1219 to both sides:
-9*k = -1252 + 1219
Now, simplify the right side by adding the numbers:
-9*k = -33
Lastly, to find 'k', we'll divide both sides by -9:
k = -33 / -9
When we divide, we get:
k = 33 / 9
k = 3.67 (approximately)
So, the value of 'k' that makes the equation true is about 3.67. And that's the solution, little buddy! |

Solve -165*h = -130*h + 35 for h. | To solve the equation -165*h = -130*h + 35 for h, follow these steps:
Step 1: Isolate the variable h on one side of the equation.
To do this, first combine the terms with the variable h.
Since we have -165*h on the left side and -130*h on the right side, we can add 130*h to both sides to simplify the equation:
-165*h + 130*h = -130*h + 130*h + 35
This simplifies to:
-35*h = 35
Step 2: Solve for h.
Now that we have simplified the equation, we can solve for h by dividing both sides by -35:
-35*h / -35 = 35 / -35
This simplifies to:
h = -1
So, the solution for the equation -165*h = -130*h + 35 is h = -1. |

Despite significant European success during the 1970s and early 1980s, the late '80s had marked a low point for English football. Stadiums were crumbling, supporters endured poor facilities, hooliganism was rife, and English clubs were banned from European competition for five years following the Heysel Stadium disaster in 1985. The Football League First Division, which had been the top level of English football since 1888, was well behind leagues such as Italy's Serie A and Spain's La Liga in attendances and revenues, and several top English players had moved abroad.
Had the Football League First Division ever been in the top level? | Yes, the Football League First Division had been the top level of English football since its inception in 1888 until the formation of the Premier League in 1992. During its existence, the First Division was the highest tier in the English football league system, featuring the country's most successful and competitive clubs.
However, as mentioned in the passage, the late 1980s marked a low point for English football with crumbling stadiums, poor facilities, rampant hooliganism, and a ban on English clubs from European competition. This decline led to the First Division falling behind other European leagues, such as Italy's Serie A and Spain's La Liga, in terms of attendances and revenues. The formation of the Premier League in 1992 aimed to propel English football back to the top levels of the sport by modernizing infrastructure, attracting more sponsorship, and increasing the global appeal of English clubs, eventually leading to the resurgence of English football in the late 1990s and 2000s. |

Article: Egyptian researchers believe they have recognized the mummy of Hatshepsut, the most famous queen to rule ancient Egypt, found in an average tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. Researchers said the mummy was one of two females found in 1903 in a small tomb believed to be that of Hatshepsut's nurse, Sitre In. In fact, there has been the idea over the years that one of the mummies may be that of the queen, who ruled from between 1503 and 1482 BC - at the height of ancient prefix = st1 /Egypt's power. The decisive truth-telling fact was a tooth in a wooden box marked with the queen's name, Hawass said. The box was found in 1881 in a hiding place of royal mummies collected and hidden away at the Deir al-Bahari temple about 1,000 metres away from the tomb. Checking all the mummies which might be Hatshepsut's, Yehya Zakariya, a medicine professor, found that the tooth was a perfect fit in a hole in the upper jaw of one of the two females, a fat woman believed to have suffered from cancer and diabetes. "The recognition of the tooth with the jaw can show this is Hatshepsut," Hawass said. "A tooth is like a fingerprint." Another researcher Elizabeth Thomas _ many years ago that one of the mummies was Hatshepsut's because how the right arm was put over the woman's chest suggested royalty . It was guessed that the mummy might have been hidden in the tomb for safekeeping because her stepson and successor , Tuthmosis III, tried to wipe out her memory.

Options: A: was the only queen ever ruling Egypt B: died of cancer and diabetes C: lived between 1503 and 1482 BC D: was buried together with her nurse
A: | According to the passage, the correct answer would be C: Hatshepsut lived between 1503 and 1482 BC. The information provided in the article mentions that Hatshepsut, the most famous queen who ruled ancient Egypt, ruled from between 1503 and 1482 BC - at the height of ancient Egypt's power.
Option A states that Hatshepsut was the only queen ever to rule Egypt, which is incorrect since the article refers to her as "the most famous queen" and not the only queen to rule Egypt. It implies that there were other queens as well.
Option B mentions that Hatshepsut died of cancer and diabetes. However, the text only indicates that the identified mummy (believed to be Hatshepsut) was of a fat woman who was considered to have suffered from cancer and diabetes. The article does not explicitly confirm the cause of Hatshepsut's death.
Option D suggests that Hatshepsut was buried with her nurse. Even though the two mummies were discovered in a tomb believed to belong to Hatshepsut's nurse, the text does not confirm that they were buried together.
Therefore, based on the information given in the passage, the most accurate option would be C: Hatshepsut lived between 1503 and 1482 BC. This detail is specifically mentioned and vouched for in the text, making it the correct answer. |

He is considered to be the first generation of major Mexican drug smugglers of marijuana. He was also the first known drug lord to use an aircraft to smuggle drugs to the United States.
Choose your answer: based on the paragraph above can we conclude that "Pedro Avilés Pérez also smuggles drugs into Canada."?
Options are: [+] Yes; [+] It's impossible to say; [+] No;
I think the answer is | [+] It's impossible to say;
Based on the information provided in the paragraph, we cannot conclude whether Pedro Avilés Pérez also smuggled drugs into Canada. This is because the paragraph only mentions that he was involved in smuggling drugs, specifically marijuana, to the United States. There is no information regarding any possible smuggling activities between Mexico and Canada in this context. Therefore, it is impossible to say from the given information if Pedro Avilés Pérez smuggled drugs into Canada or not. |

"Why are some sports such as tennis and golf have 'Open' in a tournament name? E.g. U.S. Open"
Are these two questions inquiring about the same information? | No, these two questions are inquiring about different information. The first question is about the personal life of tennis player Rafael Nadal, specifically regarding his girlfriend's attendance at his matches. The second question pertains to the naming conventions of sports tournaments.

To approach these questions, here's how I would conduct my research:
1. For the first question: I would look into any available interviews or public statements from Rafael Nadal or Maria Francisca Perello that explain why she does not often attend his matches. They might have shared this info in some of the interviews or on their social media platforms.
2. For the second question: I would delve into the history and reason behind why tournaments in these sports add 'Open' in the title. This information can typically be found in sports history resources or official tournament websites.

Mention of the staff's attitude can greatly influence potential customers' decision. In this case, the reviewer appreciated the friendly and fast service.
"The staff was particularly accommodating, ensuring our coffee cups were never empty and that we were satisfied with our meals."
Step 5: Comment on the value
Commenting on the cost versus the quality of the product or service can help potential customers to make informed decisions.
"The prices here are totally reasonable considering the fantastic quality of food and exceptional service."
Step 6: A closing endorsements or good wishes
End the review on a positive note and with highlight of experience.
"Jane's Cozy Cafe is definitely a hidden gem in the city. Can't wait for my next visit!"
The final review:
"I had an absolutely delightful experience at Jane's Cozy Cafe. Their homemade croissants are to die for - flaky, buttery, and absolutely delicious! The ambiance of the cafe is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely brunch or a coffee date. The staff was particularly accommodating, ensuring our coffee cups were never empty and that we were satisfied with our meals.

You are an AI assistant that helps people find information. Provide a detailed answer so user don’t need to search outside to understand the answer. | Given the stream of consciousness rationale, provide a reasonable question and answer. Rationale: To answer this question, we should know that: To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel by Harper Lee published in 1960.
The question and answer: | Question: What themes does Harper Lee explore in her 1960 novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird"?
Answer: In "To Kill a Mockingbird," Harper Lee explores various themes that reflect the social and moral issues present in the 1930s American South. Some of the main themes in the novel include:
1. Racism and social inequality: Lee tackles the issue of racism through the trial of Tom Robinson, an African American man who is wrongly accused of raping a white woman. The novel also highlights the existence of social barriers and prejudices within different societal classes.
2. Morality and empathy: The importance of moral education is emphasized through the character of Atticus Finch, who teaches his children, Scout and Jem, to be empathetic and understanding towards others. This is exemplified in the quote, "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view...until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."
3. Courage: Characters such as Atticus Finch and Boo Radley demonstrate both physical and moral courage against racism, injustice, and societal expectations. Atticus faces opposition for defending Tom Robinson, while Boo overcomes his reclusive nature to protect Scout and Jem from harm.
4. The loss of innocence: The book portrays the progression of Scout and Jem from childhood innocence to a more mature understanding of the unjust world around them. As they witness racism, violence, and injustice, their idyllic perceptions of their community are shattered.
In summary, the themes present in Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" delve into various aspects of human nature, morality, and social constructs in a manner that confronts the harsh realities of 1930s America. |
You are a teacher. Given a task, you explain in simple steps what the task is asking, any guidelines it provides and how to use those guidelines to find the answer. | Teacher:In this task, you're given a fill-in-the-blank question that contains two object names. Additionally, you're given one answer which is one of the objects present in the question. In this task, you need to minimally change the given question so that the answer flips to another object in the question. Remember the question has to be about both objects which are related but different; for example, "trophy" and "suitcase". This task typically involves replacing one word i.e., the 'trigger word' with its antonym (e.g., changing from "small" to "big"). You should not change any content in the given question beyond a word or two, i.e., the trigger word/phrase. The expected answer to your question must not be associated with just the trigger word; instead, it should depend on the context present in the question. The expected answer should not be ambiguous. For your question, there should be an agreed upon answer to fill in the blank. Your generations should NOT contain potentially explicit, offensive, or adult content. In your generated question, retain the object names from the input question. Avoid repeating the same style or phrase in generating your modified question e.g. this task can be always solved using a simple negation i.e. by adding not, never, etc. Instead, try to increase the word diversity. Your question must contain at least 15 and at most 30 words. Your question must have at least 70% overlapping words with the given question. You must utilize the given context word while writing the question. Your question must contain only one blank. The two objects should be used ONCE in your question. Here is a list of attributes and associated contrastive words that may help write contrastive trigger words. Note that contrastive trigger words help in flipping the label.

You are an AI assistant that helps people find information. User will you give you a question. Your task is to answer as faithfully as you can. While answering think step-bystep and justify your answer. | My question is: Tom invites his parents and 3 siblings to his house. They each eat 3 times a day. How many plates do Tom and his guests use while they are there for the 4 days if each person uses 2 plates per meal? Your thoughts: | To answer this question, let's break it down step by step:
1. First, we need to determine the total number of people Tom has invited to his house. Tom has invited his parents and 3 siblings, so counting Tom himself, there are 1 (Tom) + 2 (parents) + 3 (siblings) = 6 people.
2. Next, we need to figure out how many meals are eaten during their 4-day stay. Since each person eats 3 meals per day, and there are 4 days, there are 3 meals/day * 4 days = 12 meals.
3. Now, let's calculate the number of plates used per meal. Each person uses 2 plates per meal, and there are 6 people, so 2 plates/person * 6 people = 12 plates per meal.
4. Finally, we need to determine the total number of plates used during the entire 4-day stay. Since there are 12 meals and 12 plates are used per meal, the total number of plates used is 12 meals * 12 plates/meal = 144 plates.
So, Tom and his guests use 144 plates while they are at his house for the 4 days. |

You solve the task and show how you used the guidelines to solve the task. | Detailed Instructions: In this task, you are given a tuple, comprising Head and Tail, separated with <sep>. The Head and the Tail events are short phrases possibly involving participants. The names of specific people have been replaced by generic words (e.g., PersonX, PersonY, PersonZ). PersonX is always the subject of the event. You have to determine whether, as a result of the Head, PersonY, or others, feel what is mentioned in the Tail or not. Feelings in this task are the emotional reactions on the part of PersonY or other participants in an event. For example, as a result of gift-giving, others (in this case, PersonY) might feel appreciated. Classify your answers into "Yes" and "No". The phrase may also contain "___", a placeholder that can be an object, a person, and/or an action.
Q: Head: PersonX asks the teacher<sep>Tail: educatetd
A: | Task Explanation:
In this task, you are given a tuple containing a Head and a Tail, separated by <sep>. The Head and the Tail are short phrases, with generic person names like PersonX, PersonY, and PersonZ. PersonX is always the subject of the event. Your job is to determine if, as a result of the Head, PersonY or others will feel the emotion mentioned in the Tail.
Answer Classification:
Classify your answers into "Yes" or "No".
Example:
Q: Head: PersonX gives a gift to PersonY<sep>Tail: appreciated
A: Yes
Solution:
Head: PersonX asks the teacher<sep>Tail: educatetd
Step 1: Analyze the Head event
PersonX asks the teacher.
Step 2: Analyze the Tail emotion
educatetd - However, "educatetd" is not a valid emotional reaction or feeling. Due to this, we cannot determine if PersonY or others will feel the mentioned emotion in the Tail.
Since "educatetd" is not a valid emotional response, we cannot answer this question as per the guidelines. |
You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. | If The best way to learn what's on is to visit the theater, can we conclude that "To learn what is on you can visit the theater because the shows are listed there."? | Yes, we can conclude that "To learn what is on, you can visit the theater because the shows are listed there." This statement affirms that one effective method of discovering the current events and performances occurring at a theater is to physically visit the venue. By doing so, an individual can access information about the shows, including their scheduling and content.
At the theater, the shows and events are typically listed in various formats, including posters, flyers, brochures, and digital displays. Additionally, the theater personnel, such as the box office staff and ushers, can provide valuable information about current and upcoming shows. These sources of information combine to create a comprehensive understanding of the theater's offerings.
However, it is important to note that visiting the theater is not the only way to learn what's on. In today's world, there are alternative methods of obtaining this information. Many venues maintain an online presence through websites and social media platforms, where they share information about performances, including dates, times, synopses, and ticket availability. This enables individuals to explore the theater's program from the comfort of their homes or on-the-go.
Moreover, theater enthusiasts can subscribe to email newsletters or follow specific theaters on social media to receive updates about the latest shows and events. This helps keep them informed without the need to physically visit the theater every time they want to know what's on.
Finally, local newspapers, magazines, and online publications often provide coverage of the arts and theater events, offering another means to acquire information about the performances at a specific theater or within a region.
In conclusion, while visiting the theater is indeed an effective way to learn what's on as the shows are listed there, it is not the only method. With advancements in technology and communication, individuals can explore a multitude of resources to gather information about current theater offerings, such as websites, social media, email newsletters, and local publications. These sources should all be considered when looking to uncover the breadth and variety of shows available at a theater or within a community. |

Sentence: "Bob likes to play with his colorful toy blocks after eating his lunch."
Concepts:
1. "Bob" - Bob is a person, probably a child because he plays with toy blocks.
2. "Likes to play" - This is an action that Bob enjoys, specifically referring to the act of playing.
3. "With his colorful toy blocks" - This is what Bob is playing with. Toy blocks are a kind of toy that children can stack and arrange in different ways. The word 'colorful' tells us that these blocks have many different colors.
4. "After eating his lunch" - This gives us information about when Bob likes to play. He does it after he has eaten his lunch.
So, the sentence tells us what Bob enjoys doing (playing), what he uses to do this activity (his colorful toy blocks), when he usually does it (after lunchtime), and gives us a hint about who Bob is (likely a child). |

Erin was more unfamiliar with France compared to Rebecca because
Pick from:
1). Erin visited many times before.
2). Rebecca visited many times before.
Answer: | Erin was more unfamiliar with France compared to Rebecca because Rebecca visited many times before, developing a deep understanding and appreciation for the culture, history, and language of the country. Over the years, Rebecca had immersed herself in the French way of life, frequenting local cafés, attending cultural events, and building friendships with many French people. As a result, her knowledge and familiarity with the country grew significantly.
On the other hand, Erin had not been as fortunate in terms of travel opportunities and had not managed to visit France as often as she would have liked. Consequently, her understanding of the country was more limited, based mainly on what she had read in books or seen in the media rather than on personal experiences. Erin often found herself grappling with the language barrier and adapting to local customs and practices that were different from her own, which made her feel more like a foreigner in an unknown land.
Despite these differences in familiarity, both Erin and Rebecca shared a genuine interest in learning about France and its rich and diverse heritage. Erin was eager to improve her French language skills and gain more insight into the country's history and traditions, while Rebecca continued to delve deeper into her passion for the French lifestyle and sought to discover even more hidden treasures in her favorite country.
As their friendship grew stronger over time, Rebecca began to share her experiences and travel stories with Erin, and their mutual fondness for France turned into a bond that would knit them together for years to come. They would often dream of the day when they could both roam the streets of Paris, wine and dine in local bistros, and bask in the beauty of the Versailles Gardens, side by side.
In anticipation of their future travels, Erin began taking French lessons to be better prepared for her next sojourn to the country, and Rebecca enthusiastically joined her, welcoming the opportunity to refresh her knowledge of the language as well. Through their dedication and shared passion for France, they were able to bridge the gap between their knowledge levels, becoming an unstoppable team of Francophiles.
Together, Erin and Rebecca would embark on numerous adventures throughout France, from the medieval streets of Carcassonne to the sun-soaked coast of the Riviera, always with a newfound eagerness to explore, learn, and create lasting memories. And it was during these unforgettable experiences that Erin was finally able to achieve the same level of familiarity with France as Rebecca, the difference between them fading away like the last rays of sunlight over the Parisian skyline. |

To get the most out of your limes, roll them across the counter while gently pressing down on them with your palm. The pitcher should be large enough to hold at least 6 cups (1.5 liters) of liquid. This will include the lime juice, sugar, and ice. Your standard granulated sugar will work just fine, but superfine or castor sugar (not powdered) will work even better because it dissolves easier. Keep in mind that, because you are not cooking the sugar, you may end up with a few un-dissolved grains at the bottom of your pitcher. Be sure to stir the sugar well to help it dissolve. For a twist, try ⅔ cup (150 grams) of white sugar and 2 tablespoons (45 grams) of honey instead. Since every one has different tastes, it might be a good idea to add the water 1 cup (240 milliliters) at a time, and tasting the limeade after each cup you add; be sure to stir the limeade well after each addition. You may find that the limeade is just right after only 4 cups (1 liter) of water. If the limeade is still too sweet or too strong for you, you can add another cup (240 milliliters) of water. Avoid adding the ice directly into the pitcher, because the ice will dilute the limeade as it melts. Instead, add the ice into the glasses first, then pour the limeade over the ice. | This article is about making a tasty limeade drink. To get the best juice from limes, roll them on the counter while pressing gently. You need a big pitcher for mixing lime juice, sugar, and water. Use regular sugar or special kinds that dissolve faster. Sometimes sugar doesn't all dissolve, so stir well. You can also use honey for a twist. Add water slowly and taste to find the perfect balance. Don't put ice in the pitcher because it will water down the limeade. Put ice in glasses first, then pour limeade. |

How to recycle a fire extinguisher
Examine the canister for the product manufacturer's name.
Look on the label of the fire extinguisher for the name of the manufacturer. This is typically located in large red or black letters. | Step 1: Determine if the fire extinguisher is empty or still contains extinguishing agent.
To ensure safety, you must first check if the fire extinguisher is already empty or still has a remaining extinguishing agent. You can do this by looking at the pressure gauge if available or by feeling the weight of the canister.
Step 2: Discharge any remaining extinguishing agent.
If the fire extinguisher still contains the extinguishing agent, it is crucial to discharge it in a safe and controlled environment. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to safely discharge the extinguisher or consult with the local fire department for assistance.
Step 3: Make sure the fire extinguisher is fully depressurized.
After discharging the extinguishing agent, ensure that the fire extinguisher is fully depressurized. You can do this by removing the safety pin and pressing the handle or trigger to release any remaining pressure.
Step 4: Find an appropriate recycling facility.
It is important to recycle fire extinguishers at a designated recycling facility that accepts hazardous materials. Look for facilities in your area that specialize in handling and recycling hazardous materials, such as household hazardous waste (HHW) facilities.
Step 5: Contact the facility and inquire about their recycling procedures.
Get in touch with the recycling facility to inquire about their specific recycling procedures and requirements for fire extinguishers. Some facilities might require an appointment or specific preparation procedures before drop-off.
Step 6: Prepare the fire extinguisher for recycling.
Before transporting the extinguisher to the recycling facility, make sure the safety mechanisms are disabled, and the canister is labeled as empty or depressurized. This will help ensure that the recycling facility can safely handle the material.
Step 7: Transport the fire extinguisher to the recycling facility
Once all necessary steps have been taken, carefully transport the fire extinguisher to the designated recycling facility while following their guidelines and safety requirements.
By following these steps, you can safely and responsibly recycle a fire extinguisher, preventing potential harm to both people and the environment. |

You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation. Think like you are answering to a five year old. | Villa told a number of conflicting stories about his early life, and his "early life remains shrouded in mystery." According to most sources, he was born on 5 June 1878, and named Jose Doroteo Arango Arambula at birth. His father was a sharecropper named Agustin Arango, and his mother was Micaela Arambula. He grew up at the Rancho de la Coyotada, one of the largest haciendas in the state of Durango.
Villa was a brilliant tactician on the battle field, which translated to political support. In 1913, local military commanders elected him provisional governor of the state of Chihuahua against the wishes of First Chief Carranza, who wished to name Manuel Chao instead. As Governor of Chihuahua, Villa recruited more experienced generals, including Toribio Ortega, Porfirio Talamantes, and Calixto Contreras to his military staff and achieved more success than ever. Villa's secretary, Perez Rul, divided his army into two groups, one led by Ortega, Contreras, and Orestes Pereira and the other led by Talamantes and Contreras' former deputy, Severianco Ceniceros. Villa's war tactics were studied by the United States Army and a contract with Hollywood was made whereby Hollywood would be allowed to film Villa's movements and 50% of Hollywood's profit would be paid to Villa to support the Revolution. As governor of Chihuahua, Villa raised more money for a drive to the south against Huerta's Federal Army by various methods. He printed his own currency and decreed that it could be traded and accepted at par with gold Mexican pesos. He forced the wealthy to give loans to fund the revolutionary war machinery. He confiscated gold from several banks, and in the case of the Banco Minero he held a member of the bank's owning family, the wealthy Terrazas clan, as a hostage until the location of the bank's hidden gold reserves was revealed. He also appropriated land owned by the hacendados (owners of the haciendas) and redistributed it to the widows and family of dead revolutionaries. Villa's political stature at that time was so high that banks in El Paso, Texas, accepted his paper pesos at face value. His generalship drew enough admiration from the U.S. military that he and Alvaro Obregon were invited to Fort Bliss to meet Brigadier General John J. Pershing. Returning to Mexico, Villa gathered supplies for a drive to the south. With so many sources of money, Villa expanded and modernized his forces, purchasing draft animals, cavalry horses, arms, ammunition, mobile hospital facilities (railroad cars and horse ambulances staffed with Mexican and foreign volunteer doctors, known as Servicio sanitario), and other supplies, and rebuilt the railroad south of Chihuahua City. He also recruited fighters from Chihuahua and Durango and created a large army known as the Division del Norte (Division of the North), the most powerful and feared military unit in all of Mexico. The rebuilt railroad transported Villa's troops and artillery south, where he defeated the Federal Army forces in a series of battles at Gomez Palacio, Torreon, and eventually at the heart of Huerta's regime in Zacatecas.
Using a quote from the above article, answer the following question: Did he accomplish anything important as governor? | Yes, as governor, Pancho Villa accomplished important things. He raised money for the revolution, printed his own currency, forced the wealthy to give loans, and took land from hacienda owners to give to the widows and families of fallen revolutionaries. Villa's actions made him so popular that banks in El Paso, Texas, accepted his paper currency at face value. He also expanded and modernized his army, creating the Division del Norte, which became a powerful and feared military unit in Mexico. |

to forgive that still serious problem
Is this movie review sentence negative or positive? | The given sentence, "to forgive that still serious problem," leans towards a negative sentiment, as it implies there is an issue present in the movie that remains unresolved. However, this negativity is slightly mitigated by the use of the word "forgive," which implies that the reviewer acknowledges the movie's flaws but might suggest that other elements of the film compensate for this "serious problem."
To fully ascertain whether the movie review is negative or positive, it would be useful to have more context on the problem mentioned. Knowing its weight in relation to the overall movie experience can help in providing a more definite answer to the sentiment behind the review. In general, though, it is safe to say that the given sentence communicates a negative sentiment but with a possibility of forgiveness or leniency towards the movie's flaws.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of the sentence:
1. The phrase "serious problem" alludes to a significant issue that persists in the movie. This creates a negative impression, signaling that the movie has flaws or shortcomings that impact the overall viewing experience.
2. The word "still" suggests that this problem has not been resolved, even after a certain period or despite changes made in the film. This compounds the negative sentiment, as it emphasizes that the issue has persisted.
3. The use of "forgive" implies that the reviewer might be willing to overlook the problem despite its seriousness. This has a slightly positive connotation, as it suggests that other elements in the movie might be strong enough to compensate for the serious problem mentioned.
In conclusion, while the sentence primarily has a negative sentiment, there is room for forgiveness and potentially positive elements in the movie. More context would be needed to fully understand the review's overall sentiment. |
You are a teacher. Given a task, you explain in simple steps what the task is asking, any guidelines it provides and how to use those guidelines to find the answer. | Teacher:In this task, you are given an input list A. You need to find all the elements of the list that are numbers and calculate their sum.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: ['E', '3715', '9705', '863', '6943', 'T']
Student: | Okay, let's break down the task into simple steps.
1. Look at the given input list: ['E', '3715', '9705', '863', '6943', 'T']
2. Identify the task: Find all elements that are numbers and calculate their sum.
3. Notice any guidelines: We need to check each element to see if it is a number or not.
Now, let's use these guidelines to find the answer.
Step 1: Start with the first element: 'E'. Check if it's a number or not.
- 'E' is not a number, so move on to the next element.
Step 2: Go to the second element: '3715'. Check if it's a number or not.
- '3715' is a number. Make a note to add it to the sum later.
Step 3: Continue checking the rest of the elements:
- '9705' is a number. Add it to the sum.
- '863' is a number. Add it to the sum.
- '6943' is a number. Add it to the sum.
- 'T' is not a number. Do not add it to the sum.
Step 4: Now that we've found all the numbers in the list ('3715', '9705', '863', and '6943'), add them together to find the sum.
- 3715 + 9705 + 863 + 6943 = 21,226
The answer to this task is 21,226. All the numbers in the list add up to this sum. |

User will you give you a task with some instruction. Your job is follow the instructions as faithfully as you can. While answering think step-by-step and justify your answer. | Q: In this task you will be given a list of lists, of numbers. For every inner list, you should multiply every number in that list and put the results in your answer. The output should be a list of numbers with the same length as the number of the lists in the input list.
[[-24, 5, -28], [29, -36, -13, -22], [-19, 28, -19, -30, -1]]
A: | To follow the instructions step-by-step, let's first write down the given list of lists:
[[-24, 5, -28], [29, -36, -13, -22], [-19, 28, -19, -30, -1]]
Step 1: Create an empty list to store the results.
results = []
Step 2: Loop through each inner list within the main list.
For each_inner_list in the main list:
a. Multiply every number in the inner list.
b. Append the result of the multiplication to the results list.
Here's how the calculations will look:
a. Multiplication of the numbers in the first inner list (-24 * 5 * -28) = 3360
results = [3360]
b. Multiplication of the numbers in the second inner list (29 * -36 * -13 * -22) = 373464
results = [3360, 373464]
c. Multiplication of the numbers in the third inner list (-19 * 28 * -19 * -30 * -1) = 324360
results = [3360, 373464, 324360]
So the final answer will be:
A: [3360, 373464, 324360] |

1. Identify the separate words within the text. In this case, I can detect three distinct components: "Net", "volume", "186", and "litres".
2. Determine appropriate points to insert spaces. Since the goal is to separate the words, I will add spaces:
- After "Net" and before "volume"
- After "volume" and before "186"
- After "186" and before "litres"
3. Insert spaces at the identified points.
After performing these steps, the text becomes: "Net volume 186 litres". |
You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation. Think like you are answering to a five year old. | What is the solution?
Solve -58*r + 9 + 367 = -88 for r. | Alright, little buddy, I'll help you solve the equation step by step!
We have:
-58*r + 9 + 367 = -88
First, let's combine those plain numbers (without r) that are positive: 9 and 367. That gives us:
-58*r + 376 = -88
Now, we want to move the 376 to the other side of the equal sign. To do that, we'll subtract 376 from both sides:
-58*r = -88 - 376
This simplifies to:
-58*r = -464
Finally, we need to find out what "r" is. We'll do that by dividing both sides by -58:
r = -464 / -58
When we do the math, we find that:
r = 8
So the solution to the equation is r = 8. Well done, little buddy! |
You are an AI assistant that helps people find information. | Question. Given the sentence "Four black men are sitting down on a bench discussing something." can we conclude that "Four black men have a conversation."?
Options:
- yes
- it is not possible to tell
- no
Answer. yes
What step-by-step reasoning justifies that answer? | 1. The sentence states that "Four black men are sitting down on a bench discussing something."
2. The phrase "discussing something" implies that the four black men are engaging in a conversation by sharing their thoughts and ideas with one another.
3. Since the four black men are discussing something, we can infer that they are having a conversation related to the topic they are discussing.
4. If four people are having a conversation with each other, it means that they are actively involved in that dialogue.
5. Based on the information provided in the sentence and the definition of a conversation, we can conclude that "Four black men have a conversation."
So, the answer is "yes" because given the sentence, it is reasonable to conclude that the four black men are having a conversation. |
You are an AI assistant that helps people find information. | Please answer the following question by reasoning step-by-step. Given the sentence "Two men are working on a piece of john deere equipment." is it true that "There's lawn equipment being maintained."?. Step-by-step reasoning: | Step 1: Identify the subject of the sentence.
The subject of the sentence is "two men".
Step 2: Identify the action.
The action is "working on a piece of John Deere equipment".
Step 3: Analyze the object of the action.
The object in question is "a piece of John Deere equipment". John Deere is a brand that manufactures various types of equipment, including lawn equipment.
Step 4: Assess the likelihood that the equipment could be lawn equipment.
As John Deere produces lawn equipment, it is possible that the equipment referred to in the sentence could be lawn equipment. However, one cannot definitively conclude this without more specific information.
Step 5: Consider the relationship between the sentence and the proposed statement, "There's lawn equipment being maintained."
The statement "There's lawn equipment being maintained" could potentially be true based on the provided sentence since the two men are working on a piece of John Deere equipment. However, without additional information, one cannot definitively establish that the equipment is lawn equipment or that it is being maintained, as opposed to repaired or modified.
Conclusion:
Although it is possible that "There's lawn equipment being maintained," we cannot definitively confirm it based on the given sentence alone. |

Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Passage: 伯奇还原反应(Birch还原)是指用钠和醇在液氨中将芳香环还原成1,4-环己二烯的有机还原反应。此反应最早由澳大利亚化学家Arthur John Birch (1915–1995)在1944年发表。 Birch还原的重要性在于:尽管剩下的双键(非芳香性)更为活泼,该反应却能停留在环己双烯上,而不继续还原。反应中的钠也可以用锂或钾取代,使用的醇通常是甲醇或叔丁醇。使用Birch还原的一个例子是还原萘:其他人也发表了很多篇关于此反应的综述。钠溶于液氨中会形成一个电子盐的亮蓝色溶液,化学式为[Na(NH)] e。溶剂化电子会与芳香环加成,形成一个自由基负离子。溶液中的醇此时作为质子试剂提供一个氢原子。对大多数反应物来说,氨上的氢酸性还不够。如果是取代芳香化合物,当取代基是羧基等吸电子基时,能够稳定碳负离子并生成最少取代的烯烃; 当取代基是供电子基时,则生成取代最多的烯烃。 热力学不稳定的非共轭1,4-加成产物往往产率超过热力学稳定的1,3-加成产物,这是由于共轭的戊二烯负离子中间体HOMO的最大轨道系数是在中间那个碳原子上,导致生成的1,4-环己双烯没有办法经过平衡移动而生成更加热力学稳定的产物,因此,生成的是动力学稳定产物。在卤代烃的存在下,上文提到的碳负离子也可以发生亲核取代反应生成新的碳-碳键。如下图所示,在Birch还原中生成的负离子中间体可以被一个合适的亲电试剂捕获,例如卤代烃:根据逆合成分析,前者即是后者的合成子。在下图所示反应中,1,4-二溴丁烷被加入到苯甲酸叔丁酯中,最后生成烷基化的1,4-环己双烯产物。

Fresh off a legal setback that again finds her responsible for the 2007 murder of British student Meredith Kercher, Amanda Knox has been offered a new job - as a porn actress. An adult entertainment company - with a knack for gimmicky publicity stunts - has offered 'Foxy Knoxy' $20,000 to star in a porn film. Adult film distributor Monarchy Distribution says it's offering Knox the 'unique opportunity' to pay her mounting legal bills and fund her education by getting naked on film. 'Smokin' hot': Amanda Knox has been offered $20,000 to appear in a porn film. Foxy Knoxy: Knox's good looks has been a constant theme as her case worked its way through the Italian legal system. Guilty: Knox was again found guilty of murder in the case of Meredith Kercher - after an appeals court ruled that she was innocent. 'As you may have read, and were most likely well aware of, the general consensus is you are absolutely smoking hot,' company founder Michael Kulich writes in an e-mail to Knox forwarded to the Daily Dot. 'Since you came back into the headlines, our loyal fan base has been e-mailing us non-stop asking about you.' Kulich's email gives Knox the assurance that she would have final say 'over all terms of production' - Kulich says Knox will get to choose which sex acts she performs on film, and which 'talent' she wants to work with. 'This is a great opportunity for you to make some money to put towards. finishing your education and also future legal costs to help with this. unfortunate retrial,' Kulich continues. This is far from the first time Kulich's company has tried to cash in on attractive women who make headlines. In December of 2013, Kulich made a similar offer to shamed former PR executive Justine Sacco. PR Stunt: Monarchy Distribution offered shamed former PR executive Justine Sacco $10,000 to appear in a porn film. Sacco - a former public relations executive with IAC, an Internet company with brands like Ask.com and The Daily Beast - made headlines last year when she posted derogatory, racial remarks on Twitter before boarding a flight to Africa. 'Going to Africa. Hope I don’t get AIDS. Just kidding. I’m white!' Sacco tweeted on December 22. Before Sacco's flight touched down in South Africa, news of her offensive tweet had already made headlines across the globe - there were journalists and photographers waiting at the airport for her flight to land. She was promptly fired by IAC CEO Barry Diller. After the incident, Kulich offered Sacco $10,000 to appear in an adult film with the title 'Justine's African Vacation.' For another PR stunt, Kulich used political laughing stock Anthony Weiner's notoriety to push his brand. Weiner: Monarchy Distribution also used the further shaming of former Congressman Anthony Weiner to push his brand. Porn star: Anthony Weiner gal Sydney Leathers appeared in a porn film spoofing her relationship with Weiner. In July of 2013, after it was revealed that Weiner's X-rated social media habits continued well after he was forced to resign from Congress for a series of sexually charged conversations he had with women over social networking sites, Weiner was pressured by many to end his bid to become the Democratic nominee for New York City's mayor. After the scandal broke, Kulich announced that he was producing a movie titled 'Don't Pull Out,' and donating 15 percent of the profits to Weiner's failed mayoral campaign. After news of Weiner's texting made headlines, the woman at the center of the scandal - Sydney Leathers - appeared in a porn film spoofing the Weiner scandal. Leathers' film is titled 'Weiner and Me.' This isn't the first time Knox has been offered a job in the porn industry; in 2011, after winning the appeal of her initial guilty verdict in the Kercher murder case, Vivid Entertainment - which, like Monarch Distribution - has a long history of headline-inspired publicity stunts - offered Knox a job. 'We would like to offer her the opportunity to be our vivid.com spokesperson and represent the studio at trade and retail events.This would involve no nudity or sex. Of course we would welcome talking to her if she wants to pursue this direction, but the decision is totally hers to express," the company said in its publicized offer to Knox. Knox, however, did not respond to the gimmick.
Highlights: | 1. Amanda Knox has been offered $20,000 to star in a porn film by adult film distributor Monarchy Distribution.
2. The company claims that this opportunity could help Knox pay her mounting legal bills and fund her education.
3. Monarchy Distribution has previously made similar offers to high-profile women, like Justine Sacco, as part of their publicity stunts.
4. This is not the first time Knox has been offered a job in the porn industry; in 2011, Vivid Entertainment also made her an offer, which she did not respond to. |

As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Title IX, an essential piece of legislation that has helped level the playing field for women and girls in education and sports, it is vital that we acknowledge the progress that has been made, as well as the work that still remains, particularly for minority women and girls.
Enacted in 1972, Title IX is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education and athletic activities. Over the past four decades, the law has successfully produced improvements in educational and athletic opportunities for women and girls in the United States. Female academic enrollment has surged, and girls' athletic participation has increased nearly tenfold. These impressive strides have led to greater social and economic mobility for women, as well as enhanced physical and mental well-being.
However, despite the perseverance of Title IX advocates and the improvements made due to the law, minorities—especially African American, Latina, Asian, and Native American women—remain disproportionately underrepresented in education and collegiate athletics. As a result, they experience limited access to the same opportunities as their white counterparts.
To begin addressing this disparity, it is essential to recognize the factors contributing to this inequity. For many minority women and girls, limited financial resources are a significant barrier to entry in higher education and sports. Studies have shown that minority households often have lower incomes, which affects their ability to afford tuition and access to resources such as athletic equipment, facilities, and coaching.
In addition to financial barriers, minority women and girls face cultural and societal obstacles that deter them from pursuing educational and athletic opportunities. For instance, some may encounter resistance from family members due to cultural beliefs that prioritize traditional gender roles, which often place limited value on women's educational and athletic endeavors. Furthermore, the lack of representation of minority women in higher education and athletics can lead to a discouraging perception that these arenas are not welcoming or supportive environments for them.
To address these challenges and create a more inclusive environment under Title IX, the following steps must be taken:
1. Increase financial assistance: Federal, state, and local governments should allocate additional funding to address the financial barriers that prevent minority women from accessing higher education and sports opportunities. This includes expanding scholarship programs, providing more grants, and reducing tuition fees for minority students, as well as ensuring that schools in low-income neighborhoods have access to adequate sports facilities and equipment.
2. Raise awareness and challenge cultural barriers: Schools, community organizations, and parents should collaborate to raise awareness about the importance of education and sports for women of all backgrounds and challenge cultural myths that undermine their participation. This may involve holding workshops, seminars, and mentorship programs for minority parents and girls to educate them about available opportunities and encourage involvement.
3. Increase diversity and representation in coaching and administration: Schools and athletic programs should prioritize the hiring of diverse coaching and administrative staff to ensure that women of all backgrounds feel supported and empowered. Representation matters, and role models from relatable backgrounds can provide guidance and encouragement to minority girls as they pursue their educational and athletic passions.
4. Foster ongoing collaboration and dialogue: Educators, administrators, coaches, and parents should engage in an ongoing dialogue about the unique challenges minority women face when working to achieve equity under Title IX. Open conversations will foster understanding and collaboration, leading to more effective programs and initiatives that support minority women in their academic and athletic pursuits.
As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Title IX and its transformative impact on women and girls, it is crucial that we continue to work together to ensure that every individual, regardless of their race or ethnicity, has an equal opportunity to excel in education and sports. By addressing the disparities that persist for minority women, we can honor the spirit of Title IX and pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable future for all. |

Roger Federer lost to Alves in the second round of the US Open in three sets . It was Federer 's 600th career match win . | Yes, these are paraphrases. Both sentences convey the same information, but they are structured differently. I'll explain the steps in paraphrasing:
1. Identify the key information: In both sentences, the key information includes Roger Federer's loss to Alves in the second round of the US Open, the match being a three-set match, and it being Federer's 600th career match win.
2. Rewrite the information using alternative phrasing: The first sentence begins with "In the second round of the US Open," while the second sentence starts with "Roger Federer lost to Alves in the second round of the US Open." These phrases convey the same information but with different structure.
3. Rearrange the sections of information: The first sentence has Federer's 600th career match win at the end, while the second sentence moves this information closer to the middle. Both sentences address the three-set match, but the order is different.
By using different phrasing and rearranging the key information, both sentences are considered paraphrases since they present the same information in distinct ways. |

Here's the text step-by-step:
1. Your challenge will soon be to select collisions where a Z boson was produced.
Step reasoning:
- "Your" is a common word, and it makes sense to separate it from the following word.
- "challenge" is another standalone word that can be identified based on its constituent letters.
- "will soon" is a frequently occurring phrase that can be detected.
- "be" is a standalone word that can be easily identified.
- "to" is a very common, standalone preposition.
- "select" is another standalone word that follows "to" because the text seems to ask for selecting certain items.
- "collisions" is a compound word often used in scientific contexts, and it makes sense in this context involving Z bosons.
- "where" is an adverb that does not typically attach to adjacent words.
- "a" is an article that can be easily identified.
- "Z" is an individual letter that can be associated with a scientific term, in this case, "boson."
- "boson" is a standalone term having scientific relevance.
- "was produced" is a phrase that indicates a past event or occurrence.
With all these steps, the text with added spaces becomes:
Your challenge will soon be to select collisions where a Z boson was produced. |

How does the healthcare system work in Japan?
Please tell me if those questions are the same.
Pick your answer from:
(A). no;
(B). yes; | The correct answer for this case would be (A). no.
The reason why these questions are not the same is because although they are both about the healthcare system in Japan, they are asking for different types of information.
The first question implies a comparative analysis between the healthcare systems of Japan and the U.S, requiring an overview of how both countries' systems function and then elaborating on their differences and similarities.
The second question is more specific and just asks about the functioning of the healthcare system in Japan, without any comparison to the U.S. or any other country's healthcare system. The expectation from this question is a detailed explanation of Japan's healthcare system alone.
Therefore, although they both concern healthcare in Japan, the context and the required detail of the answer differ, thus making the questions not the same. |

Then explain why other answers are wrong. You might need to use additional knowledge to answer the question. | Sentence 1: The Edict of Nantes was signed in 1598 to protect the Prot?es?tants, and five years later the Jesuits were allowed back into France.
Sentence 2: The leader disliked religion, but let the people in anyway to show he was nice.
a). yes; b). it is not possible to tell; c). no;
Is this second sentence entailed by the first sentence?
| c). no
The second sentence is not entailed by the first sentence. The first sentence provides specific historical information about the Edict of Nantes and the Jesuits. It states the purpose was to protect the Protestants and does not mention the leader's opinion on religion. The second sentence implies that the leader dislikes religion but allows people in to appear nice. There is not enough information in the first sentence to support the claims made in the second sentence. This shows that the second sentence is not entailed by the first sentence. |

Questions in this task usually contain some variables (e.g. X, Y), equations (e.g. X+Y=3) and some relationships (X is greater than Y). Often you need to find the value of the variable using equations and relationships. You are also given 4 or 5 answer options (associated with "A", "B", "C", "D", "E"). Do not generate anything else apart from one of the following characters: 'A', 'B, 'C', 'D', 'E'. LaTeX mathematical format (the standard way to express mathematical expressions in the typesetting software known as LaTeX) is used to express equations. Each question is solvable with high school math knowledge. Give only one answer for each question.
Q: Which of the following expressions represents \(b - 3a\) subtracted from twice the sum of \(2a\) and \(5b\) ?
(A)\(-9b - 7a\) (B)\(-4b - a\) (C)\(4b + a\) (D)\(7b + 3a\) (E)\(9b + 7a\)
A: | To solve this problem, we must first find the expression for twice the sum of \(2a\) and \(5b\). This can be done by performing the addition and then multiplying by 2.
Twice the sum of \(2a\) and \(5b\) = \(2(2a + 5b)\) = \(4a + 10b\).
Now, we need to subtract the expression \(b - 3a\) from the result we found:
\((4a + 10b) - (b - 3a)\)
Expand and simplify the expression:
\(4a + 10b - b + 3a\)
Combining like terms, we get:
\(7a + 9b\)
Now we need to find the answer choice that matches this expression:
(A)\(-9b - 7a\) (B)\(-4b - a\) (C)\(4b + a\) (D)\(7b + 3a\) (E)\(9b + 7a\)
The correct answer is (E)\(9b + 7a\). |
