At the doorway, stood a roughly dressed man, who stumbled forward like a drunkard. With each step, the man groaned and grumbled words incoherently. As the man walked slowly away from the house, a woman was watching him through the window and shut the door after he left. She smiled peculiarly as she heard the man fumble his keys while his footsteps grew farther away.\n\nAs the woman began to walk around the house, she could not help but replay the events that unfolded the day before. She meticulously calculated and planned every minor detail. The complex plan involved items such as knives, boxes, and liquids. She executed the plan perfectly and timely, as she had done numerous times before. Last night was no different and just like every other night, she finished her plan successfully while the man was deep asleep. However, if one were to see the current state of affairs now, the true intent of the woman's plan would be obvious judging from the aftermath. However, for some unknown reason, the woman felt as if something was missing. A vague and intangible itchiness was knawing at her heels.\n\nThe woman frantically looked around. She did not know what she was looking for but wanted to just check everything. Her eyes finally locked on the side table next to the door she had just closed. On the table was a bag the size of a baby made of soft materials. The woman's eyes widened in astonishment and she almost tripped as she darted towards the bag with both hands outstretched in front of her. The woman grabbed the bag and busted the door wide open, with a disregard for anything that may have been in the way. The man, who had walked some distance away now but was still within clear sight of the door, snapped his body. He was startled by the sudden outburst and his face grew pale. The man squinted to see the bag that the woman was holding and smiled widely. She was holding his bento box! The man hurried over, took his bag, and pecked the woman on the cheek before turning to walk towards his car again.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Zauner voices it herself and you can hear the emotion in her retelling so well, and it's a huge bonus to hear the Korean pronunciation if you're not Korean yourself. Overall I thought this book was very real, and showed all of the lovely parts of her relationship with her mother and the pain alongside it. I loved the food motif throughout the book and think many people will find it relatable. I love Korean food, but for a few people this was their first introduction to the cuisine and culture, and it got them to try Korean food for the first time. This book will probably make you cry!!\n\nThe only critique I had of it was I thought it was a little too unstructured. I listened to it with my partner and they found the first opening chapters hard to get into since Zauner starts off with a very wide view of her story/relationship with her mother/her feelings. Once she gets into the chronological-ish parts you get totally roped in. Don't expect a \"satisfying\" ending, because there is no \"close\" to her story. Her life is obviously ongoing and there are still feelings she's grappling with. It would be impossible to wrap up neatly!\n", "role": "user" }, { "content": "This is a mostly positive review.

At times it was almost intimidating. I had always thought that a professional was just an average adult with above-average work performance. This definition used to be the prevailing meaning of the word “professional” for me before I joined The Extremely Proper Business Club last year. The Extremely Proper Business Club helps me get ready to become a professional by bringing in actual career professionals. These professionals, who range from corporate lawyers to hedge fund managers, are exemplary models of professionals in their fields. The club was the first to expose me to an unbiased picture of who a professional truly is and how that means much more than above-average work performance. This exposure to bleeding-edge professionals in their respective fields was a sobering reality. It continues to be a strong foundation for me as I prepare for my professional pursuits after graduation.\n\nAnother important aspect of The Extremely Proper Business Club is the opportunity provided to students for them to talk with these industry professionals and gain their insight. This opportunity has been an invaluable resource for me as I start to take charge of my career. The advice given by career professionals with decades of experience continues to serve as a guiding light as I try to navigate an unclear void of career progression with upcoming graduation on the horizon. No matter the form of engagement, ranging from casual conversation to formal presentation with PowerPoint slides, having career professionals elaborate on their successes or failures while reflecting on overall learnings has been an incredible catalyst in my personal career development. The engagement from those professionals has also been a source of motivation for someone like me who is just starting their professional career track. I am eager when a person asks about my membership in The Extremely Proper Business Club because it is a chance for me to explain how the activities that the club hosts, including bringing in professionals in their field, are one of the reasons why I feel prepared in my transformation from student to working professional.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Max was the biggest, strongest elephant in the whole town. Everyone loved him because he helped them and because, as even Frida could admit, he looked REALLY cool. There wasn't a problem Max couldn't solve. Or at least, that's what everyone thought...\n\nOne day, the whole village was celebrating the birthday of the very youngest in the group - Maggie. Frida always felt awkward because, even though Maggie was much younger than her, Frida was much, much smaller than Maggie. But she went to the party anyways, determined to have a good time. Just as the cake cutting was about to begin, however, Maggie let out a loud yelp. Everyone turned to look. Maggie's birthday balloon was floating away into the sky! And to make matters worse, she had tied her favorite stuffie, Poppy, to the end of the balloon! Everyone watched in fear as Poppy and the balloon came to rest on the top branch of the tallest tree in the village. It was a very old and VERY big tree -- alive for much longer than any of the elephants in the town. No one knew what to do!!\n\nMax was determined to get the balloon down. He wrapped his trunk around the tree and tried to uproot the whole thing, but as much as he tugged and grunted, the tree stood firm. Maggie started to cry. Suddenly, Frida had an idea! It might not work, she thought, but she was the only one who could do it! To the amazement of everyone at the party, Frida started to CLIMB the tree! Now, of course, any normal elephant would be much too heavy for a tree, but Frida was no normal elephant! She climbed to the top, carefully untied Poppy and the balloon, and brought them safely back to the ground. The whole town cheered!

[ { "content": "Write a summary of this biography of Konstantin Stanislavski by reducing it to its essential facts about his influence on the art of theatre in less than 150 words.\n\nKonstantin Sergeyevich Stanislavski (né Alekseyev; Russian: Константин Сергеевич Станиславский; 17 January [O.S. 5 January] 1863 – 7 August 1938) was a seminal Soviet Russian theatre practitioner. He was widely recognized as an outstanding character actor and the many productions that he directed garnered him a reputation as one of the leading theatre directors of his generation. His principal fame and influence, however, rests on his \"system\" of actor training, preparation, and rehearsal technique.\n\nStanislavski (his stage name) performed and directed as an amateur until the age of 33, when he co-founded the world-famous Moscow Art Theatre (MAT) company with Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, following a legendary 18-hour discussion. Its influential tours of Europe (1906) and the US (1923–24), and its landmark productions of The Seagull (1898) and Hamlet (1911–12), established his reputation and opened new possibilities for the art of the theatre. By means of the MAT, Stanislavski was instrumental in promoting the new Russian drama of his day—principally the work of Anton Chekhov, Maxim Gorky, and Mikhail Bulgakov—to audiences in Moscow and around the world; he also staged acclaimed productions of a wide range of classical Russian and European plays.\n\nHe collaborated with the director and designer Edward Gordon Craig and was formative in the development of several other major practitioners, including Vsevolod Meyerhold (whom Stanislavski considered his \"sole heir in the theatre\"), Yevgeny Vakhtangov, and Michael Chekhov. At the MAT's 30-year anniversary celebrations in 1928, a massive heart attack on-stage put an end to his acting career (though he waited until the curtain fell before seeking medical assistance). He continued to direct, teach, and write about acting until his death a few weeks before the publication of the first volume of his life's great work, the acting manual An Actor's Work (1938). He was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labour and the Order of Lenin and was the first to be granted the title of People's Artist of the USSR.\n\nStanislavski wrote that \"there is nothing more tedious than an actor's biography\" and that \"actors should be banned from talking about themselves\". At the request of a US publisher, however, he reluctantly agreed to write his autobiography, My Life in Art (first published in English in 1924 and in a revised, Russian-language edition in 1926), though its account of his artistic development is not always accurate. Three English-language biographies have been published: David Magarshack's Stanislavsky: A Life (1950) ; Jean Benedetti's Stanislavski: His Life and Art (1988, revised and expanded 1999). and Nikolai M Gorchakov's \"Stanislavsky Directs\" (1954).

Through MAT, Stanislavski promoted the Russian drama of Anton Chekhov and Maxim Gorky. He was a major influence on scenic artist Edward Gordon Craig and the acting teachers who followed him, Vsevolod Meyerhold, Yevgeny Vakhtangov, and Michael Chekhov. In 1928, Stanislavski suffered a massive heart attack while on stage that ended his acting career. He continued to direct, teach, and write about acting until he died in 1938. His two books, the acting manual, An Actor's Work (1938) and an autobiography, My Life in Art (1924) are still read by students of acting.", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "I want to lose weight, summarize the new weight-loss findings in this article:\n\n\"A REVOLUTION IN weight loss is apparently underway. It started in 2021, when the FDA approved the diabetes drug semaglutide for weight loss. The weekly injectable—sold under the brand name Wegovy—can help users lose 5 to 10 percent of their body weight, leading commentators to describe the drug as both a “medical breakthrough” and a “silver bullet” for obesity. Elon Musk says he’s taking it, Kim Kardashian is rumored to be using it, and everyone from Hollywood to the Hamptons reportedly wants a prescription. Soon, there will be a new weight loss medication on the block—and it’s even more potent than its peers. Last fall, the FDA fast-tracked the review process for using tirzepatide as a weight loss drug after a clinical trial showed that people with BMIs labeled “overweight” or “obese” lost a staggering 22.5 percent of their body weight on the highest dose. If all goes according to plan, that will make Mounjaro the latest in a fast-growing biomedical sector—spanning everything from bariatric surgery to deep brain stimulation for binge-eating—that aims to combat, if not cure, the problem of “excess” weight. \n\nFor pharmaceutical companies, the race to market is financially motivated: Wegovy and Mounjaro cost more than $1,000 a month. Weight loss drugs are rarely covered by insurance, but people who can afford them have proven they’re willing to pay. And the market seems effectively limitless: Despite an ongoing “war on obesity,” more than 1.9 billion adults globally are considered overweight or obese, and the number of prospective users is growing every year. Now doctors—desperate to treat what is widely seen as an “obesity epidemic”—are coming on board. In January, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended such medications for kids as young as 12. The victorious narratives gilding drugs like Mounjaro are already being positioned as a direct challenge to fat activism. For decades, the movement has pushed for social and economic opportunity for people of all sizes through civil rights, fat pride and liberation, and biomedical evidence itself. Thanks to prominent voices like Aubrey Gordon and Michael Hobbes, many people now know that “lifestyle changes” like calorie restriction and exercise fail to produce sustained weight loss for 97 percent of people and that many dieters end up gaining back more weight than they lost. But what happens to the strength of these arguments when a weight loss drug seems to work?\n\nLike other purported weight loss solutions, Mounjaro promises “to fix weight stigma by making you thinner, instead of removing the stigma,” says Susanne Johnson, a fat activist and family nurse practitioner in Pennsylvania. In so doing, these drugs and surgeries further exacerbate anti-fat discrimination. Instead of criticizing people in larger bodies for their perceived lack of willpower—that old “calories in, calories out” adage—people can now blame those in bigger bodies for something more akin to a techno-pessimist, or even anti-science, stance: “Just take the miracle cure!” \"", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The weight-loss findings in the article are the following:\n\nA new injectable drug (called Wegovy) has been called a \"silver bullet\" for weight loss and has the potential for the user to lose between 5-10% of their body weight. Another drug called tirezpatide showed a 22.5% decrease in body weight in its clinical trial (currently being fast-tracked by the FDA). However, both of these drugs can cost upwards of $1000 a month (weight-loss drugs are usually not covered by insurance).", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "Summarize this portion of news article about Meta by placing its main points in a bulleted list of four items.\n\nMeta has been hit with a record-breaking $1.3 billion fine (€1.2 billion) by EU data regulators, and ordered to stop transferring the Facebook data of EU citizens to the US. EU courts believe such data transfers expose EU citizens to privacy violations — a complaint that stems back to 2013 and revelations by whistleblower Edward Snowden about US mass surveillance programs.\n\nThe ruling was made by Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC), which said that that the current legal framework for data transfers to the US “did not address the risks to the fundamental rights and freedoms” of Facebook’s EU users and violated GDPR. The fine exceeds the previous EU record of €746 million levied against Amazon in 2021 for similar privacy violations.\n\nTransferring data to the US is critical for Meta’s vast ad-targeting operation, which relies on processing multiple streams of personal data from its users. Last year, Meta said it would be forced to consider shutting down Facebook and Instagram in the EU if it wasn’t able to send data back to the US; a warning EU politicians saw as an obvious threat. “Meta cannot just blackmail the EU into giving up its data protection standards,” replied EU lawmaker Axel Voss to the news. “Leaving the EU would be their loss.”\n\nPreviously, these data transfers were protected by a transatlantic pact known as the Privacy Shield. But this framework was declared invalid in 2020 after the EU’s top court found that it did not protect data from being scraped by US surveillance programs. This ruling was given in response to a claim by Austrian lawyer Max Schrems, whose legal battle against Facebook dates back to 2013 and the original Snowden revelations of US surveillance.\n\nAlthough Meta has now been ordered to stop these data transfers, there are a number of caveats that benefit the US social media giant. First, the ruling only applies to data from Facebook, not other Meta companies like Instagram and WhatsApp. Second, there’s a five-month grace period before Meta has to stop future transfers, and a six-month deadline to stop holding current data in the US. Third, and most important, the EU and US are currently negotiating a new deal to transfer data that could be in place as early as this summer and as late as October.\n\nDespite the record-breaking size of the fine, experts expressed doubt that it will change anything fundamental about Meta’s privacy practices. “A billion-euro parking ticket is of no consequence to a company that earns many more billions by parking illegally,” Johnny Ryan, a senior fellow at the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, told The Guardian this weekend.\n", "role": "user" }, { "content": "• EU data regulators are fining Meta with a $1.3 billion fine in addition to ordering them to stop transferring data of EU citizens to the U.S.\n• The Ireland Data Protection Commission (DPC) made the ruling on the data transfers that were once protected by the Privacy Shield, but are no longer.\n• The filing and subsequent ruling relates to a claim by Austrian lawyer, Max Schrems, dating back to 2013.\n• A number of caveats will affect the ruling and allow the social media company some allowances, including the fact that only Facebook data is affected and there's a six-month grace period.", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "Rewrite this passage about the philosopher Lao Tzu as a series of questions and answers.\n\nLao Tzu was an ancient Chinese philosopher and poet, well-known for penning the book Tao Te Ching. He was the founder of philosophy of Taoism, a religious and ethical custom of ancient China. He is largely respected as a religious deity in various traditional Chinese religious schools of thought. He is also believed by some to be an older contemporary of the famous philosopher Confucius.\n\nLao Tzu’s journey began as he set foot towards the western border of China, currently Tibet. He was saddened by what he saw around him: men being diverted away from nature and the goodness it brings. A guard he met on the border asked Lao to write down his teachings as he went. This is when he wrote the famous Tao Te Ching, a 5,000 character account of his thoughts and philosophical ideas.\n\nLike various ancient Chinese philosophers, Lao Tzu made use of rhyme and rhythm, paradoxes and interesting analogies to get his point across in Tao Te Ching. In reality, the entire book can be considered as one great analogy.\n\nThe ‘Tao Te Ching’, literally meaning ‘The Way and Its Power’ presents the idea of ‘Tao’ as being the end all and be all of existence. It is extremely powerful, yet down to earth. It is the source of all being in the world. The book intends to guide people on how to return to the laws and ways of nature to maintain the balance of the Tao.\n\nTzu is also the father of the Taoist philosophy. Taoism, along with Buddhism and Confucianism, is the pillar of ancient Chinese thought. It is not only a customary philosophy, but it has also taken the shape of a properly organized religion. Though the two elements of religion and philosophy are separate, they are profoundly connected. Lao Tzu’s teachings have encompassed the depths of both.\n\nTaoism focuses on leading life according to ‘Tao’ or ‘the path’. It encapsulates moral, ethical and religious Chinese customs. Tao is a concept not exclusive to Taoism; it is also found in various other Chinese philosophies. In Taoism however, it plays a major role. As per Taoism, Tao is deep and overwhelming; it is the all-encompassing. It is both the cause and the effect of every existing thing in the world.\n\nLao Tzu’s philosophy was a simple one. He was against putting effort and striving, as he thought struggle is not only futile but also hinders productivity. In his theory of ‘wu-wei’, he advises to simply do nothing. By this he means not to go against the forces of nature, wait for the gush of events nature brings to you and dive right in. He advised not to struggle to change the natural order of things, but to bring spontaneity to one’s actions as one holds on to the nature’s way of life. Followers of Taoism believe that striving for nothing will never lead them to failure. The one who has never failed is always successful, thus becoming powerful.\n\nBy understanding this principle, Taoist debates against Confucianism and its endeavors at domination and standardization of all aspects of life, and strives for a lone, deep meditation among nature. Taoists believed that through contemplation, nature will grant them the keys unlocking the powers of the universe. The logic of ‘doing nothing and achieving everything’ reached the rulers and affected the way the kings treated the masses. Thus in a subtle way, Taoism took shape of a political philosophy.\n\nLao Tzu’s works have continued to influence individuals and anti-authoritarian campaigns around the world. Belonging to the sixth century, Lao Tzu, a title given to the great philosopher meaning ‘Old Teacher’, taught the world the importance of the ways of nature and how embracing the principle of doing nothing can help achieve everything.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Question #1: Who was the ancient Chinese philosopher and poet who was well-known for writing the book \"Tao Te Ching\"?\nAnswer #1: Lao Tzu was the Chinese philosopher and poet who wrote \"Tao Te Ching.\" He is also largely respected as a religious deity in various religious schools of thought. He was also the founder of Taoism.\n\nQuestion #2: How did Lao Tzu's journey in Tibet lead to his writing of the book \"Tao Te Ching?\"\nAnswer #2: On Lao Tzu's journey to what is currently Tibet he had a sad reaction to what was going on around him. There were men diverted away from nature and all its goodness. A guard that Lao Tzu met on his trip asked him to write down his teachings on that trip. The 5,000-character account of his thoughts on that journey became the \"Tao Te Ching.\"\n\nQuestion #3: What kinds of writing styles did Lao Tzu employ in the \"Tao Te Ching?\"\nAnswer #3: In his book, Lao Tzu used rhyme and rhythm, paradoxes, and analogies. Some have even considered the book to be one great analogy.\n\nQuestion #4: What does the title of the book mean and what is its purpose?\nAnswer #4: \"Tao Te Ching\" means \"The Way and Its Power.\" The idea is that the Tao is the end-all and be-all of existence. It is powerful, but down to earth. The book tries to guide people on how to return to the ways and laws of nature to maintain the balance of the Tao.\n\nQuestion #5: What role did Lao Tzu play in Taoism?\nAnswer #5: Lao Tzu is the father of Taoism, which is one of the three pillars of ancient Chinese thought. Taoism is both a philosophy and an organized religion and Lao Tzu's teachings encompassed the depths of both.\n\nQuestion #6: Explain the concept of Tao and what it means.\nAnswer #6: Tao is also known as \"the path.\" However, the term is not exclusive to Taoism. It appears in other Chinese religious customs, but the path plays an important role in Taoism. Tao is both the cause and effect of every living being in the world.\n\nQuestion #7: What are some of the highlights of Lao Tzu's philosophical beliefs?\nAnswer #7: Lao Tzu believed that struggling is futile and harms productivity. He believed in the theory of \"wu-wei,\" in which he advises others to do nothing. One should just wait for the events that nature brings to you rather than go against the forces of nature. Following the natural order of things, while still being spontaneous, was most important. Taoists believe that striving for nothing will never fail. Someone who has never failed is always successful and eventually powerful.\n\nQuestion #8: Did Taoism influence other things in society?\nAnswer #8: At the center of Taoism, the idea of doing nothing and achieving everything affected the way the kings treated the general public. Because of this, many think that Taoism helped shaped political philosophy as well.\n\nQuestion: #9: Is Taoism influential today?\nAnswer #9: Lao Tzu's writings continue to influence individuals and anti-authoritarian campaigns worldwide. Lao Tzu, known as \"Old Teacher,\" put a strong emphasis on the ways of nature and how sometimes doing nothing can have the largest impact on everything.", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "I've been thinking about taking martial arts for self-defense and exercise. What are 5 martial art disciplines that can offer me these things?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "While all martial arts are designed to give you a good workout and promote self-defense, here is a list of 5 martial arts that you could learn that will give you the most \"bang for your buck\":\n\n1. Brazilian Jiujitsu - One of the best martial arts for both self-defense and a killer workout, Brazilian Jiujitsu (BJJ) provides practitioners with real-world self-defense. Many fights end up on the ground, and those who are not used to maneuvering on their backs will find themselves defenseless, trying to protect against attacks from above. In addition to the self-defense skills you'll learn in BJJ, you'll also get a tremendous workout that is sure to tax your aerobic and anaerobic systems. \n2. Muay Thai - This martial art from Thailand is such a huge sport that modern mixed martial artists have incorporated it into their training regimens. Muay Thai is a form of kickboxing that also makes use of elbow and knee strikes, as well as throws and leg sweeps. A good defensive martial art teaches you to strike with multiple different parts of your body, and Muay Thai does just that. You'll also get a great cardio workout doing several rounds of Muay Thai kickboxing against a sparring partner or potential opponent.\n3. Kung Fu/Wushu - Kung Fu and Wushu are Chinese martial arts that have been around for centuries. While Kung Fu can mean anything that requires skill (i.e., you can have good \"Kung Fu\" washing dishes or driving a car), the martial art of Kung Fu is specifically a fighting art that teaches multiple stances, punches, and kicks, the most popular of which mimic the movements of animals like the snake, the crane, and the tiger. A great workout can be had practicing stances and forms that require you to stand in unusual positions, such as a horse stance, for several minutes at a time. Wushu (the competitive version of Kung Fu) stresses the importance of performative martial art through high jumps and kicks, twirls, flips, and other choreographed moves.\n4. Judo - Much like the other grappling arts, Judo is a Japanese art that involves throwing one's opponent and also using their momentum and body weight against themselves. In addition to throws, Judo also practices grappling (both on the ground and while standing) and submissions (joint locks, strangles). Judo can be likened to lifting weights due to having to throw and carry your opponent, which can be tiring.\n5. Karate - Karate, like its Chinese counterpart in Kung Fu, is a martial art that involves the use of strikes and stances. However, Karate's development in Japan created a martial art that promotes striking opponents hard and fast; straight punches and kicks that snap from the waist are favored over the flowery techniques of Kung Fu and Wushu. As with all the other martial arts listed above, Karate offers a great workout practicing striking and forms.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Lionfish \n\nThese fish have venomous spines along their backs for protection. Lionfish are slow swimmers, so they need envenomation as protection against larger, more predatory sea creatures. \n\nFor humans, lionfish stings are rarely fatal unless there’s an extreme allergic reaction to the venom. However, the sting is still tremendously painful and causes diarrhea, extreme nausea, and headaches. \n\n2. Sea Snakes \n\nOne of the most venomous aquatic animals in the world, sea snakes are often reluctant to bite unless severely threatened. However, their one drop of venom is potent enough to kill an adult human. \n\n3. Cone Snails \n\nCone snails use a venomous harpoon for both protection and prey. They are extremely slow movers, so envenomation is their only hope for caching meals of marine worms, small fish, and mollusks. \n\nThese snails have bright shells with intricate, unique patterns, which can be a detriment to humans. One dose of harpoon venom has the potential to internally damage, or even kill, hundreds of people. \n\n4. Stonefish \n\nThe stonefish looks like a rock, which means swimmers in the Indian and Pacific Oceans often step on these fish by mistake. The fish is covered with venomous spikes that shove venom into whatever it comes into contact with. Their stings are excruciating and can be fatal to humans. \n\n5. Flower Urchin \n\nOne of the most dangerous urchins on the planet, flower urchins are covered in venomous stingers. One touch can lead to paralysis of muscles, lips, and eyes, but the pain diminishes quickly, typically in 15 minutes or less. However, an extreme allergic reaction can result in hospitalization or death for humans. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

To accomplish this, the author presents clear, logical connections between ideas, that are supported by facts and statistics or by presenting analogies. If the arguments presented contain unclear or erroneous assumptions in facts or analogic connections, known as logical fallacies, the argument can fail.\n \nEthos/Ethics means to persuade by convincing a person of the author’s inherent credibility based on the author’s credentials and/or the credentials of the sources of facts and ideas presented as part of the argument. To accomplish this, the author presents their own and/or their sources’ academic, professional, and/or authorial history, details their personal experience as it relates to the issue, and demonstrates their complete understanding of the issue’s complexities by using counter arguments to an opposing position.

It makes Paxton only the third sitting official in Texas’ nearly 200-year history to have been impeached.\n\nPaxton, 60, decried the move moments after scores of his fellow partisans voted for impeachment, and his office pointed to internal reports that found no wrongdoing.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The article would be under Politics.", "role": "assistant" } ]
