[ { "content": "Summarize the following text about the 2016 World Series in no more than 8 sentences. Keep the sentences short (< 25 words per sentence).\n\nThe 2016 World Series was the 112th edition of Major League Baseball's World Series, a best-of-seven playoff between the National League (NL) champion Chicago Cubs and the American League (AL) champion Cleveland Indians, the first meeting of those franchises in postseason history.\n\nCorey Kluber made World Series history by striking out eight hitters in the first three innings of Game 1. In the first, the Indians loaded the bases off Jon Lester on a single and two walks before Jose Ramirez's single drove in a run, then Lester hit Brandon Guyer with a pitch to force in another. Perez's home run in the fifth made it 3-0 Indians. In the eighth, Justin Grimm walked Guyer with two outs and allowed a single to Lonnie Chisenhall, then Hector Rondon allowed Perez's second home run of the night. Andrew Miller and Cody Allen finished the victory for the Indians despite Miller having to pitch out of a bases-loaded jam in the seventh, and the Indians took Game 1 of the series 6-0.\n\nLooking to tie the series at one game apiece, the Cubs sent Jake Arrieta to the mound against the Indians' Trevor Bauer. The Cubs also featured six players under age 25 in the starting lineup, a postseason record. The Cubs started things off early as Kris Bryant singled in the first inning and Anthony Rizzo doubled to score Bryant and give the Cubs an early 1-0 lead. The Cubs struck again in the third following a two-out walk by Rizzo and a single by Ben Zobrist. A single by Kyle Schwarber scored Rizzo from second and pushed the Cubs' lead to 2-0. Bauer was forced from the game in the fourth, and the Cubs struck again in the fifth. Rizzo walked again off Zach McAllister, and Zobrist tripled to plate Rizzo. Another run-scoring single by Schwarber off Bryan Shaw and a bases-loaded walk by Addison Russell pushed the lead to 5-0. Arrieta continued to pitch well, walking three batters but holding the Indians without a hit into the sixth inning. In the sixth, a double by Jason Kipnis ended the no-hitter, moved to third on a groundout and scored the lone Indians run of the game on a wild pitch by Arrieta. Arrieta allowed another single and was lifted for reliever Mike Montgomery. Both teams threatened in the seventh but could not score and, following a single by Mike Napoli in the bottom of the eighth, Aroldis Chapman entered to finish the game for the Cubs. The win marked the Cubs' first World Series game victory since 1945, and tied up the series at one game all.\n\nChicago pitcher Kyle Hendricks started against Cleveland pitcher Josh Tomlin during Game 3, a low-scoring contest where the only run came off a Coco Crisp single that scored Michael Martinez from third in the seventh inning. Tomlin, Andrew Miller, Bryan Shaw, and Cody Allen combined to shut out the Cubs. Allen earned his sixth postseason save as Javier Baez struck out swinging to end the game, leaving the tying and winning runs in scoring position.\n\nThe Cubs struck first in Game 4 when Dexter Fowler doubled to lead off the first and scored on Anthony Rizzo's one-out single, but Kluber held them to that one run through six innings before Francona turned it over to the bullpen. In the second, Carlos Santana's leadoff home run off Lackey tied the game; then, with two on, Kluber's RBI single put the Indians up 2-1. Next inning, Jason Kipnis hit a leadoff double and scored on Francisco Lindor's single. In the sixth, Lonnie Chisenhall's sacrifice fly with two on off Mike Montgomery made it 4-1 Indians. Next inning, Justin Grimm allowed a leadoff double and one-out hit-by-pitch before being relieved by Travis Wood, who gave up a three-run home run to Kipnis put to the Indians ahead 7-1. The Cubs got one run back in the eighth, but the Indians were now just one win away from a World Series championship.\n\nJose Ramirez hit a home run for Cleveland in the second inning of Game 5, but the Cubs, facing elimination, scored three runs in the fourth inning off Trevor Bauer. Kris Bryant led off the inning with a home run. Anthony Rizzo then doubled and Ben Zobrist singled. Addison Russell's RBI single put the Cubs up 2-1. After Jason Heyward struck out, Javier Baez's bunt single moved Zobrist to third before David Ross's sacrifice fly made it 3-1 Cubs. The Indians cut their deficit to 3-2 off Lester in the sixth on Francisco Lindor's RBI single that scored Rajai Davis from second base. With the tying run on second base in the seventh inning, Maddon brought in Aroldis Chapman, who threw 2.2 scoreless innings, earning his first save of the 2016 World Series.\n\nHow do you force a Game 7? Score three runs in the first inning, all with two outs, then hit a grand slam in the fourth inning. The Indians nipped away in the fourth, fifth, and ninth inning, but starting with a 7-run lead meant this Fall Classic was going to come down to a single deciding game, a true Fall Classic.\n\nGame 7 of the 2016 World Series would go down as a classic, some calling it the greatest Game 7 in World Series history. The pitching matchup featured Kyle Hendricks, who had started Game 3 for the Cubs, and Corey Kluber, who had won games 1 and 4 and was pitching on three days' rest.\n\nDexter Fowler led off the game with a home run for Chicago off Kluber, becoming the first player ever to hit a lead-off home run in a World Series Game 7! The Indians tied the game in the bottom of the third inning with an RBI single by Carlos Santana, but the Cubs scored two runs in the fourth inning with a sacrifice fly by Addison Russell (Kris Bryant running aggressively to tag up from third on the short fly ball and slide under the tag at home) and a double by Willson Contreras. To start the fifth inning, Javier Baez hit a home run to center on the first pitch he saw to knock Kluber out of the game. Andrew Miller came on in relief and gave up a walk to Bryant and RBI single to Anthony Rizzo to push the lead to 5-1 (Bryant's aggressiveness again instrumental as he was attempting to steal second on the hit, allowing him to score all the way from first).\n\nIn the bottom of the fifth inning, Hendricks retired the first two batters. A two-out walk to Santana persuaded Joe Maddon to relieve his starter. This move, along with others throughout the series, would be highly criticized afterward, as it appeared to some that Hendricks was pulled out too soon.\n\nJon Lester, who had started Games 1 and 5, came on in relief for the first time since the 2007 ALCS, coincidentally also against the Indians. David Ross committed a throwing error that allowed Jason Kipnis to reach base and put runners on second and third. A wild pitch that ricocheted off Ross's helmet allowed Santana and Kipnis to score, narrowing the Cubs' lead to 5-3. To atone for his blunders, the 39-year-old Ross hit a home run to center, in his final at-bat of his career, in the top of the sixth to make it a 6-3 game, becoming the oldest player to hit a home run in a World Series Game 7.\n\nLester retired the first two batters in the eighth inning, but was pulled after a Jose Ramirez single. Maddon opted to use Aroldis Chapman, who had thrown 42 pitches in Game 5 and was used in Game 6 despite the fact that the Cubs had already built a large lead. Brandon Guyer promptly hit a run-scoring double off Chapman, making the score 6-4. The next batter was Indians center fielder Rajai Davis, who unexpectedly hit a dramatic home run off Chapman, just barely clearing the left field wall and the left field foul pole, scoring Guyer.\n\nWith the game tied 6-6 after nine innings, a sudden cloudburst resulted in a 17-minute rain delay. During the delay, Cub right fielder Jason Heyward called his teammates into a weight room behind Chicago's dugout and told them, \"We're the best team in baseball. Stick together and we're going to win this game.\"\n\nWhen play resumed in the top of the tenth, Kyle Schwarber led off with a single off Bryan Shaw to right and was replaced by pinch runner Albert Almora. Kris Bryant then hit a deep fly ball to center, and Almora tagged up to second base, in what was called the \"savviest baserunning play of the season.\" After an intentional walk to Anthony Rizzo, Ben Zobrist stepped up to the plate. Zobrist delivered a clutch RBI double into the left field corner, scoring Almora, and breaking the tie. After another intentional walk to Addison Russell, Miguel Montero singled into left, scoring Rizzo and making the score 8=6.\n\nCarl Edwards was called on to finish off the Indians in the bottom of the tenth, but after retiring the first two hitters, he walked Brandon Guyer, who took second base on defensive indifference. Davis, following up on his eighth-inning heroics, lined a single to center, making it a one-run game. Maddon called on Mike Montgomery, who had zero career saves. Montgomery retired Michael Martinez with an infield grounder fielded by Bryant, who threw to Rizzo to end the game, series, and the Cubs' 108-year world title drought.\n\nThe Cubs, playing in their eleventh World Series and their first since 1945, won their third championship and first since 1908, ending the longest world championship drought in North American professional sports history.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The 2016 World Series pitted the Chicago Cubs against the Cleveland Indians.

They include:\n- Apples and plums\n- Berries and bananas\n- Apricots and coconut\n- Papaya and pineapple\n\nThere are a number of different procedures for drying fruit. One of the most natural ways of drying fruits is simply to lay them out in the sun. Fruit should be cleaned, dried, and laid on a lined cookie sheet in direct sunlight. Arrange the pieces where there’s plenty of room for air to circulate around them. This process can take several days so it’s important to place them in a location where insects can’t get to them.\n\nYou can also find drying ovens online that are specially designed for this process. These are electric units that have several plastic racks stacked vertically. This process uses low temperatures to gradually dry all the water out of the fruit. It can take all day for the process to complete. Some fruits may take up to 48 hours for the drying process to complete so it's best to place these racks out of the way so they are not disturbed till drying is complete.", "role": "assistant" } ]

But this wave of probability can collapse into a single state which will cause the particle to act like a particle again and be in a single place.

Make sure to use American English spelling throughout.\n\nMore than two centuries ago, the historian William Hutton noted Richard III's posthumous ability to divide opinion. For some, Richard possessed \"angelic excellence\"; others painted him in \"the blackest dye\". Hutton acknowledged that \"Richard's character, like every man's, had two sides\" before concluding wryly, \"though most writers display but one\". The public response to the spectacular discovery of his skeleton in a Leicester car park last year shows that little has changed. His bones are now as contested as his reputation, with distant descendants of the last Yorkist king claiming he should be reinterred in York rather than Leicester. There is, still, something about Richard.\n\nInterweaving two stories whose chapters dovetail throughout the book, The King's Grave claims to show Richard in a new light. Philippa Langley, the driving force behind the \"Looking for Richard\" project, gives a blow-by-blow account of the search, from fundraising to dig; historian Michael Jones, meanwhile, explores Richard's usurpation, reign and death at Bosworth, seeking to contextualise his grabbing of power and the disappearance, on his watch, of the princes in the Tower. Both authors, in their different ways, see the discovery of his grave as an opportunity to put the record straight, to \"put a stop to the stigmatising and vilification\" of Richard, and to \"allow for complexity\" in considering his personality and reign.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Over 200 years ago, a historian named William Hutton wrote about how Richard III's story still seems to cause people to have widely differing opinions about him. And this is for someone who died in 1485, over 500 years ago! Some people thought Richard was angelic and good while others thought he was evil. Hutton thought that every person has two sides but when writing about Richard III, he thought that most writers choose one side over the other. Even today, after the discovery of Richard III's skeleton in a parking lot in Leicester England, his story - and character - is still being argued about. Even some of his distant descendants want Richard III, as the last Yorkist king, to be buried in York rather than in Leicester. \n\nThere are two sides to every person and in the book, The King's Grave, the writers are trying to show both sides to Richard. Philippa Langley was the person most responsible for the \"Looking for Richard\" project. In the book, she gives the story of how the project came about, how the fundraising helped, and how the dig progressed. The other writer, historian Michael Jones, is looking at the life of Richard III, including his reign and how he was killed at Bosworth Field. Jones is also questioning the disappearance of the two princes, Richard III's nephews, who were kept locked up in the Tower of London and eventually disappeared. Jones questions the fact that the boys disappeared while Richard was on the throne. Both Langley and Jones are treating the discovery of Richard III's skeleton as an opportunity to find out more about this king whose story seems to be continually rewritten.

I will explain how Minecraft became not only the most popular game but also how it managed to keep players playing even after its release in 2011.\n\nMarkus \"Notch\" Persson and Jens Bergensten were the first designers who developed Minecraft. They then officially released it on the 18th of November, 2011 after many alpha and beta tests. Microsoft announced a $2.5 billion deal to acquire Mojang, as well as ownership of the Minecraft intellectual property on September 15, 2014. One of the reasons why Minecraft because so popular is because the game gives players a lot of freedom to develop and explore the gaming world. This allows players to be imaginative and creative in order to construct whatever they want within the game. Another big reason was the ability to play different mods created by other players. This created a huge, active community that kept the game fresh and engaging. Minecraft was available on many platforms, which allowed all kinds of players to play and did not target a specific demographic, which allowed it to reach a larger market.\n\nWhether or not you wanted a challenging time or just a fun night with your friends, Minecraft would satisfy many needs players had.

He’d cast a spell to make it rain frogs on the kingdom, but it wasn’t long before the commoners discovered how tasty frog legs could be if fried up in butter, and they counted themselves lucky to have so many of the creatures at their disposal. Malvin then brewed a potion and poured it into the river so all the people who drank from it would be cursed with blood-red eyes and gravelly voices. This only proved beneficial to the soldiers at war with the neighboring kingdom, though, as it made them more intimidating and led them to a quick and decisive victory. So he cast yet another spell to make all the cows in the kingdom give purple milk, but unwittingly made this purple milk as delicious as the milk at the end of a bowl of Lucky Charms, so the kingdom began exporting their purple milk as a high-priced specialty beverage and farmers throughout the land prospered.\n\nAt his wit's end, Malvin confronted Demelza, screaming, “None of this would be happening if you had just refrained from humiliating me in court! Fie on you!”\n\nDemelza wrinkled her nose and said, “I’m sorry Malvin, I never meant to humiliate you. I was actually just trying to impress you because I have an enormous crush on you.”\n\nThat was the last thing Malvin expected to hear.

When swimming, a person's buoyancy is determined by the Archimedes Principle: an object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Thus, swimmers try to displace more water by expanding their chest and flattening their body to increase their buoyancy and stay closer to the water's surface. This position reduces drag, as water is approximately 800 times denser than air, making it harder to move through. Therefore, by maintaining buoyancy and swimming near the surface, swimmers can take advantage of the lower resistance in air when their body parts, like arms in freestyle, exit the water during strokes. This understanding of buoyancy and its application to swimming techniques showcases the intertwining of physics and sports.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Sweat helps regulate your body temperature. Blood vessels in the dermis provide nutrients to the epidermis, keeping the skin layers healthy.\n\n3.

The squash of Mr. Farmer were all taken by the other monkeys, and now I am about to die from want of food.”\n\n“Do not be discouraged,” said the turtle; “take a bolo and follow me and we will steal some banana plants.”\n\nSo they walked along together until they found some nice plants which they dug up, and then they looked for a place to set them. Finally, the monkey climbed a tree and planted it in it, but as the turtle could not climb he dug a hole in the ground and set him there.\n\nWhen their work was finished they went away, planning what they should do with their crop. The monkey said:\n\n“When my tree bears fruit, I shall sell it and have a great deal of money.”\n\nAnd the turtle said: “When my tree bears fruit, I shall sell it and buy three varas of cloth to wear in place of this cracked shell.”\n\nA few weeks later they went back to the place to see their plants and found that that of the monkey was dead, for its roots had had no soil in the tree, but that of the turtle was tall and bearing fruit.\n\n“I will climb to the top so that we can get the fruit,” said the monkey. And he sprang up the tree, leaving the poor turtle on the ground alone.\n\n“Please give me some to eat,” called the turtle, but the monkey threw him only a green one and ate all the ripe ones himself.\n\nWhen he had eaten all the good bananas, the monkey stretched his arms around the tree and went to sleep. The turtle, seeing this, was very angry and considered how he might punish the thief. Having decided on a scheme, he gathered some sharp bamboo which he stuck all around under the tree, and then he exclaimed:\n\n“Crocodile is coming! Crocodile is coming!”\n\nThe monkey was so startled at the cry that he fell upon the sharp bamboo and was killed.\n\nThen the turtle cut the dead monkey into pieces, put salt on it, and dried it in the sun. The next day, he went to the mountains and sold his meat to other monkeys who gladly gave him squash in return. As he was leaving them he called back:\n\n“Lazy fellows, you are now eating your own body; you are now eating your own body.”\n\nThen the monkeys ran and caught him and carried him to their own home.\n\n“Let us take a hatchet,” said one old monkey, “and cut him into very small pieces.”\n\nBut the turtle laughed and said: “That is just what I like, I have been struck with a hatchet many times. Do you not see the black scars on my shell?”\n\nThen one of the other monkeys said: “Let us throw him into the water,”\n\nAt this, the turtle cried and begged them to spare his life, but they paid no heed to his pleadings and threw him into the water. He sank to the bottom, but very soon came up with a lobster. The monkeys were greatly surprised at this and begged him to tell them how to catch lobsters.\n\n“I tied one end of a string around my waist,” said the turtle. “To the other end of the string, I tied a stone so that I would sink.”\n\nThe monkeys immediately tied strings around themselves as the turtle said, and when all was ready they plunged into the water never to come up again.\n\nAnd to this day monkeys do not like to eat meat, because they remember the ancient story.\"", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"A forlorn monkey strolled along the riverbank, his eyes downcast and his spirits low.

The other monkeys have taken all of Mr. Farmer's squash, and now I am on the brink of starvation.\"\"\n\n\"\"Don't lose hope,\"\" the turtle reassured. \"\"Grab a bolo and follow me. Together, we shall pilfer some banana plants.\"\"\n\nSide by side, they ventured forth until they discovered some flourishing plants. With care, they uprooted them and sought a suitable spot for transplantation. The monkey chose to ascend a tree, placing his plant in its embrace. However, since the turtle lacked climbing prowess, he resorted to excavating a hole in the ground, carefully nestling his plant within.\n\nTheir work completed, they departed, contemplating the potential harvest. The monkey boasted, \"\"When my tree bears fruit, I shall sell it and amass great wealth.\"\"\n\nThe turtle chimed in, \"\"And when my tree bears fruit, I shall sell it and purchase three varas of cloth to replace this cracked shell.\"\"\n\nWeeks elapsed, and they returned to assess their plants' progress. Alas, the monkey's tree had withered, for its roots had lacked soil in the tree, while the turtle's plant stood tall and abundant with fruit.\n\n\"\"I shall climb to the tree's pinnacle so that we can retrieve the fruit,\"\" declared the monkey. And without further ado, he ascended the tree, leaving the turtle alone on the ground.\n\n\"\"Please share some fruit with me,\"\" pleaded the turtle. Yet, the monkey flung him only a green banana, devouring all the ripe ones himself.\n\nOnce satiated, the monkey encircled his arms around the tree and succumbed to slumber. Observing this, the turtle simmered with anger, plotting a fitting retribution. He gathered sharp bamboo sticks, positioning them meticulously beneath the tree, then cried out:\n\n\"\"Behold! A crocodile approaches! A crocodile approaches!\"\"\n\nStartled by the cry, the monkey lost his balance and fell upon the jagged bamboo, meeting an untimely demise.\n\nSeizing the opportunity, the turtle dismembered the fallen monkey, seasoned the meat with salt, and left it to dry under the sun. The following day, he ventured to the mountains, trading the preserved meat with other monkeys who gladly surrendered their squash in return. As the turtle departed, he taunted them with a parting remark:\n\n\"\"Lethargic creatures, you now consume your own flesh; you now consume your own flesh.\"\"\n\nEnraged, the monkeys seized the turtle and carried him to their abode.\n\n\"\"Let us retrieve a hatchet,\"\" proposed an elder monkey, \"\"and dismember him into minuscule fragments.\"\"\n\nAmidst the commotion, the turtle chuckled and said, \"\"That suits me perfectly, for I have been struck by a hatchet numerous times. Do you not observe the black scars etched upon my shell?\"\"\n\nUnwilling to entertain the turtle's bravado, another monkey interjected, \"\"Let us cast him into the water.\"\"\n\nThe turtle, overcome with fear, pleaded for mercy, but his pleas fell on deaf ears as the monkeys callously cast him into the water. He sank to the bottom momentarily, only to resurface in the company of a lobster.

Sadly, though, it couldn't turn on. To rub salt in the wound, I've been suspended. I think this is grossly unfair. Local media say that IATA because the water emptied from the dam, could have irrigated at least 1,500 acres of land. I say I'm NTA because, as I said, there was a lot of important information on that device. So I'm letting you guys decide. AITA?", "role": "assistant" } ]
