"content": "Give me a brief synopsis of what happened here:\n\n\"A YouTuber who deliberately crashed a plane to \"gain notoriety and make money\" has agreed to plead guilty to obstructing a federal investigation, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) announced yesterday. In his plea agreement, California pilot Trevor Jacob admitted to \"deliberately destroying\" the plane wreckage and repeatedly lying to officials. The crimes of destruction and concealment with intent to impede a federal investigation carry a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment and a potential fine of up to $250,000. The Los Angeles district court may impose a lesser sentence due to the plea deal, though.\n\nJacob is scheduled to appear in court in the coming weeks, the DOJ reported. A DOJ public information officer, Ciaran McEvoy, told Ars that Jacob has not yet pleaded guilty. After an initial court appearance—essentially a bond hearing—a change of plea hearing will be scheduled. If Jacob pleads guilty at that hearing, a federal judge will schedule a sentencing hearing several months later. From there, Jacob would meet with the US Probation Office, which will draft a confidential pre-sentencing report recommending the sentence that the office thinks he deserves. Jacob and the prosecutors can either agree or disagree with that sentencing report, and then, ultimately, a judge will determine what sentence is imposed. A former Olympic snowboarder and experienced pilot and skydiver, Jacob hatched his scheme to allegedly deliberately crash his plane on November 24, 2021, after securing a sponsorship and agreeing to promote a company's wallet in a video. The company has not been named, and there is no mention of wallets in the video titled \"I Crashed My Airplane\" that's still viewable on YouTube.\n\nThe real trouble for Jacob apparently started on November 26, 2021, when he reported the crash to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which informed him that \"he was responsible for preserving the wreckage so the agency could examine it,\" the DOJ reported. Jacob told an NTSB investigator that he would \"determine the crash location\" and provide coordinates. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) launched its own investigation three days later, and according to the plea agreement, over the next few weeks, Jacob started lying to federal investigators rather than cooperating with the investigation.\"",

What were the main factors that contributed to the North's victory?\nThe North's overwhelming advantages in industrial capacity and population were the main factors in the victory of the Union over the Confederacy. An excellent quality answer should mention this as critical to the North's success over the South. Other factors that would constitute an excellent answer were the advantages in technology that the North would begin to experience in the realm of repeating firearms and artillery. The superior supply situation of the North would also be an excellent answer, given that the South was under naval blockade and tepid support from foreign powers. \n\n2. How did the Emancipation Proclamation contribute to the war effort?\nStudents should address in their answers the political advantages that came with emancipating the slaves that lived in the Southern States. By broadening the goals of the war, the Union made it more difficult for European forces from intervening on behalf of the confederacy, as slavery was already widely outlawed. It raised concern in the southern states of a slave revolt, which had for the entirety of the war, sapped the South's already limited manpower. It also unified the Union's cause over a moral goal and bolstered the Union's support amongst African Americans, for whom over 200,000 would serve in its military. ",

Jade sings a torch song, the vendor sobs, and Jade wins her oysters.\n(10) Jade and Vernon return to the traffic jam to reclaim the car but find it vandalized beyond repair.\n(11) Jade and Vernon sprint through the city on foot, racing against time, as the oysters threaten to spoil in the heat.\n(12) They return victorious, but both decide to quit their jobs on the spot and open their own oyster bar.

The brand consists of five video game consoles, as well as applications (games), streaming service Xbox Cloud Gaming, online services such as the Xbox network and Xbox Game Pass, and the development arm Xbox Game Studios. The brand was first introduced in the United States in November 2001, with the launch of the original Xbox console.\n\nThe original device was the first video game console offered by an American company after the Atari Jaguar stopped sales in 1996. It reached over 24 million units sold by May 2006.[1] Microsoft's second console, the Xbox 360, was released in 2005 and has sold 86 million units as of October 2021. The third console, the Xbox One, was released in November 2013 and has sold 51 million units.[2] The fourth line of Xbox consoles, the Xbox Series X and Series S, were released in November 2020.

Alas, tidings of the printed form shall do for now. My kingdom has successfully managed to repair the bridge that was destroyed by those meddlesome goblin mercenaries just two fortnights prior. This has done well for our trade routes, as merchants and bards alike return in droves. Why, just the day prior, I was approached by a kind old man peddling herbs and spices. I daresay I bought his entire stock! It was just what I'd needed for my potion-making escapades. Yes, I can surely imagine your face right now; \"has Velia not given up her alchemy?\" you ask in confusion. The answer, my friend, is a resounding no! Though I am not as talented at the art of magic as you are, I find potion-making to be my gift. I have improved much since I last had you drink my mana potion, though again, I must apologize for its grotesque taste. Unfortunately, I could not magic that away.\n\nAh, forgive me, for I digress. I am writing to let you know the frequency of these letters may falter for several moons; I am to depart on a journey to parley with the goblin mercenaries. I suspect the exchanging of words will soon turn to the exchanging of blows, but the opportunity to speak with them is a sign of our kingdom's goodwill. Perhaps we could live in peace if things go favorably. My father has deemed me strong enough, both in swordplay and magic alike, to take leadership of the entourage. As I have mentioned several times, I may be a princess, but I refuse to hide in my chamber while the good people of our kingdom suffer. I am prepared to fight, dear Martin; I do not intend to die if they refuse to reason. It is late, so I must sleep. I hope this letter finds you well and that you are in good tidings. I promise to write again as soon as I can!\n\nYour friend,\n\nVelia Scionne",

"content": "\"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush\" is a proverb that means that it's better to hold on to what you have (\"in your hand\") rather than to risk losing what you have in pursuit of more (\"two in the bush\"). The phrase warns against taking unnecessary risks. The phrase probably entered the English language around the 15th Century. The proverb refers to falconry, where a bird in the hand, which is the falcon, was considered a very valuable asset. The falcon was worth considerably more than the prey (\"two in the bush\"). \n\nThe Bird in Hand was used as a pub name in England in the Middle Ages and many pubs today still carry this name.\n\nEnglish immigrants to America took the expression with them. A small town in Pennsylvania, founded in 1734, was called Bird in Hand.",

"content": "Rewrite this short story from a third-person perspective as if observing the narrator and his behaviour.\n\nTrue! — nervous — very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses — not destroyed — not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily — how calmly I can tell you the whole story.\n\nIt is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture — a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees — very gradually — I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever.\n\nNow this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded — with what caution — with what foresight — with what dissimulation I went to work! I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him. And every night, about midnight, I turned the latch of his door and opened it — oh, so gently! And then, when I had made an opening sufficient for my head, I put in a dark lantern, all closed, closed, so that no light shone out, and then I thrust in my head. Oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly I thrust it in! I moved it slowly — very, very slowly, so that I might not disturb the old man’s sleep. It took me an hour to place my whole head within the opening so far that I could see him as he lay upon his bed. Ha! — would a madman have been so wise as this? And then, when my head was well in the room, I undid the lantern cautiously — oh, so cautiously — cautiously (for the hinges creaked) — I undid it just so much that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye. And this I did for seven long nights — every night just at midnight — but I found the eye always closed; and so it was impossible to do the work; for it was not the old man who vexed me, but his Evil Eye. And every morning, when the day broke, I went boldly into the chamber, and spoke courageously to him, calling him by name in a hearty tone, and inquiring how he had passed the night. So you see he would have been a very profound old man, indeed, to suspect that every night, just at twelve, I looked in upon him while he slept.\n\n",

"content": "The young man was nervous. He fidgeted and twitched with anxiety, noticing every flicker of a shadow as it danced in the twilight. At the faintest sound, like a branch brushing against the roof, the young man's pulse quickened. He would cock his head like a dog trying to pinpoint the exact source of a creak in the floor. At night, he chased imagined noises. He was confident that he could hear voices above and below his bed, but he couldn't quite make out what they were discussing. Was it him?\n\nIt wasn't always like this. For years, the young man was kind and neighbourly towards the old man who lived next door. The old man had been equally kind in return and lived modestly in his humble home. The two men had no qualms, but the young man began to feel unnerved by the old man's eye. One of his eyes was pale blue and with a film over it. Every time the young man felt the unseeing eye fall upon him, his blood ran cold. Over time, the dreadful sensation overwhelmed the young man until he decided that it, and the old man, had to be killed. \n\nThe young man knew that murder was wrong. He knew that the old man was not to blame for his horrible eye, and so was exceedingly kind to him. He did not wish to kill out of passion or madness but instead chose to methodically prepare for the eye's demise. For a week, the young man crept out of his bed at midnight, picked up his lantern and silently slipped into his neighbour's home. He stealthily made his way to the old man's bedroom and inch by inch pushed open the heavy door until he could fit his head inside the opening. Once able, he slowly slid open the sheath to his lantern until a beam of light struck the old man's eye. Night after night, the eye remained closed in sleep; and so the young man swiftly retreated from the room. After all, it was not the man he wanted to kill, but the evil eye. So every morning, the young man would greet the old man at his home with cheery warmth and faux concern about how the old man had slept. Not once did the old man suspect that his young neighbour was entering his bedroom midnight after midnight as the old man slept, awaiting the appearance of the terrible eye. ",

Two hours later, as light beamed through the gap in his curtains, Alan woke once again. He instinctively reached for his phone, but when he looked for the word \"snooze,\" he was horrified to instead see \"08:15\" on the home screen. \"Oh no!\" he gasped, tumbling out of bed. \n\nToday was meant to be a very important day for Alan. He was due to have a meeting with his boss at 8:45 to discuss the promotion that he had sought for so long. This promotion would be the difference between Alan scraping just to get by each month, and being comfortable financially, so missing it, or messing it up for that matter, was not an option. \n\nLooking out of his bedroom window, Alan saw gridlocked traffic. \n\nIn a manic rush, he grabbed the waterproof bag that he used when sea kayaking, shoved his suit, phone, and shoes inside it, and ran down the stairs. Leaving his apartment block, he sprinted out over the road, and down the stairs towards the concreted riverside. He looked across the river, seeing the large, tall building in which his all-important meeting was due to start in ten minutes, and he made the decision to swim across. \n\nAlan dived into the murky water, and the cold caused him to gasp for air. Remembering to stay calm, he began to swim in a smooth fashion, combining breaststroke and front crawl with some unorthodox paddling. It took him around five minutes of steady swimming to reach the other side.\n\nAlan paced twenty meters to the public toilets and grabbed the towel from his waterproof bag. He dried himself and got dressed into his suit in a matter of minutes, quickly styled his still-wet hair in the mirror, and set off running to the office. Moments later, he was on the escalator. He reached the top and walked confidently towards his boss' office.\n\n\"Alan, what can I do for you?\" his boss asked.\n\"Good morning Mr. Johnson, I'm here for our meeting,\" Alan replied, still out of breath. \nMr. Johnson looked down at his diary and said \"I think you've made a mistake. The meeting is tomorrow.\"",

Looking straight at the Kansas interstate ahead of me, it's almost as if I gain no ground no matter how fast I go. Maybe part of it is due to the smooth, straight road that stretches off into the horizon, but I could almost convince myself that I'm staying in place, like driving on some gargantuan treadmill. I turn to my left, however, and am quickly reminded of how fast I'm truly going. The trees are almost a blur, and I shudder to think about what would happen if I lost control at this speed. \n\nIs this what they call intrusive thoughts? I could so easily, with a single twist of the steering wheel, do something unthinkable and irreversible, especially at this speed. I turn back to the road ahead of me, shaking off the way these thoughts make my scalp tingle. Long road trips tend to do this to me, I realize. At some point past the fourth or fifth hour on the road, it's almost as if the rest of the world fades away, and I'm left with nothing but my own thoughts, no matter how unusual or intrusive they may be. This is what intergalactic travel must be like, I think to myself, if humans ever achieve that technological milestone. \n\nHurtling through outer space at mind-numbing speeds, alone in vehicles of metal and glass, with nothing to fill the gaps between here and there besides the beat of your own heart and the racing of your own mind. In those moments, would intrusive thoughts carry the same weight? Would another me, in another life, or alternate universe, have these same thoughts as he speeds past galaxies? Would there be any aspect of individual agency in such a spaceship, where the entire trajectory of the journey is computer-generated and mapped out down to the last inch, without any room left for the risk of human error? Would I even feel like I'm charting my own path, or at the mercy of some computer that decides the best route for me? \n\nThe wind whistles over my head, the ground rumbles resolutely under my wheels, and my mind wanders.",

"content": "Writer’s block can affect anyone, from hopeful college essayists to elementary book reporters and award-winning novelists. Many creative minds chalk it up to burnout but knowing the cause doesn’t always provide the solution to get you in a clear mindset to write again. \n\nRead on for a few tips on how to overcome writer’s block and get back to a place of creative prowess. \n\n•\tSeek inspiration from another writer. \n\nRead for fun and inspiration! Delve into a book to read the words of one of your favorite authors. Sometimes their creativity can rub off on you! \n\n•\tWrite about your feelings, your day, your family… anything to get your creativity headed in the right direction. \n\nRenowned poet Charles Bukowski once said, “writing about writer’s block is better than not writing at all.” As long as you are actively writing whatever comes to mind, you are making strides toward inspiration to write something brilliant. \n\n•\tTake a step back and take care of yourself. \n\nSometimes writers push themselves too hard, too far, to come up with something well-written before a deadline, either self-imposed or professional. Step back and take care of yourself in other ways to clear your mind and feel refreshed. Take a bubble bath, spend time with friends and loved ones, binge a television show… do things that make you happy without the written word. Then come back to it rejuvenated. \n\n•\tFind a creative writing prompt that restores the thrill and fun of writing! \n\n“Pretend that you are an alien from another planet and you’ve just seen a cow for the first time. What are your thoughts?” \n\nWriting prompts can be silly, fun, and great ways to jumpstart your creativity. You don’t have to take yourself too seriously. Simply let your imagination play out on the paper. \n\n•\tWork your brain without words. \n\nBurnout is a real struggle for writers, and sometimes your brain needs a break from words. This would be a good time to break out a jigsaw puzzle, find fun in numbers with sudoku, or paint a picture. You can aim to strengthen your brain’s creative process while not having to worry about what to write for a while. \n\n•\tDeclutter your space to declutter your mind. \n\nWriter’s block can occur when you feel overwhelmed with the clutter of your home and your long list of things to do. Take the time to clean and organize your space, beginning with your work areas. Clear your to-do list of as much as you can to satisfy your brain’s anxiety over having so much to do. \n\n•\tSchedule a time to “meet” your muse. \n\nHarness your writing muse by scheduling specific times to write. If creativity strikes outside of those specific times, then great – write. If not, then don’t force yourself to come up with words that you don’t have. Stress puts strain on creativity. \n\nHopefully, these suggestions will help you overcome writer’s block, or at least inspire you to come up with methods for getting your creativity back. Good luck! \n",

Please finish each tweet with one to five hashtags relevant to the tweet.\n\n Bruce Cassidy saw a lot of the Florida Panthers when he was coaching the Boston Bruins from 2016-22.\n\nBut the Vegas Golden Knights coach knows he'll see a different Florida team in the 2023 Stanley Cup Final, starting with Game 1 at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday (8 p.m. ET; TNT, TBS, truTV, CBC, SN, TVAS).\n\n\"Obviously we've got our hands full,\" Cassidy said Wednesday.\n\nThe Panthers won the Presidents' Trophy as the NHL's best regular-season team in 2021-22 and defeated the Washington Capitals in six games in the Eastern Conference First Round, winning a Stanley Cup Playoff series for the first time since 1996.\n\nBut after the Tampa Bay Lightning swept them in the second round, they made significant changes to become more of a playoff-style team this season, most notably hiring coach Paul Maurice on June 22 and acquiring forward Matthew Tkachuk in a trade with the Calgary Flames exactly one month later.\n\nThe adjustment was among the reasons they struggled the first half of the regular season. But after a 4-2 loss at Vegas on Jan. 12, which dropped them to 19-20-4, they went 23-12-4 and earned the second wild card in the East. In the playoffs, they have defeated three of the top four teams in the regular season standings: the Bruins (first), Carolina Hurricanes (second) and Toronto Maple Leafs (fourth).\n\n\"The biggest thing I've noticed is, the rush game used to kill you [against Florida],\" Cassidy said. \"If you could shut that down, you'd probably be able to outwill them to get to the front of the net, different areas like that.\"\n\nThe Panthers now create more offense below the goal line, getting pucks deep, forechecking and going to the net front.\n\nTkachuk is a big part of that. He has 21 points (nine goals, 12 assists) in 16 games, second in the playoffs behind Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz, who had 24 points (10 goals, 14 assists) in 19 games. Tkachuk has four game-winning goals, tied for first in the postseason with Stars forward Joe Pavelski, including three overtime goals, most in the playoffs.\n\nCassidy said Tkachuk has a high hockey IQ and will challenge the Golden Knights on small-area plays.\n\n\"We have to find a way to take away his time and space, yet take away his options, because he moves the puck so quick, so that's going to be a delicate balance,\" Cassidy said. \"And you've got to get into him when he gets to the front of the net. We know that. He's got a great stick and nose for the net. We have some big 'D' that can do that.\"\n\nTkachuk (6-foot-2, 201 pounds) will battle with Vegas defensemen Nicolas Hague (6-6, 230), Brayden McNabb (6-4, 215), Alec Martinez (6-1, 210), Alex Pietrangelo (6-3, 215), Shea Theodore (6-2, 197) and Zach Whitecloud (6-2, 207).",

Cassidy was quoted as saying, \"Obviously we've got our hands full.\" #ChuckysAMenace #ChangingOfTheGuard #NewYearNewPanthers\nTweet 3: Don't sleep on the Panthers. They were the winners of the President's Trophy last year and they look even better this year. A loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, a perennial Stanley Cup Playoff team, doesn't mean your season was a bust. #PanthersReadyToPounce\nTweet 4: The Panthers started the season 19-20-4 but picked it up in the second half, going 23-12-4. If you think the Panthers aren't built to win, look again. It's obvious they needed time to click with some of the new additions and some of the subtractions from the previous year. #NewRegime #PickingUpSteam #KeepPounding\nTweet 5: Cassidy mentioned in an interview that if you can kill the Panther's rush, you can out will them and that may open up opportunities to score. #GameplanSecured\nTweet 6: Can you believe Matty T? The guy has been a MENACE throughout the playoffs. 21 points in 16 games? No problem. Four game-winning goals? Forget about it. The knights will need to slow down Tkachuk by winning the small-area plays and focusing on not giving him time and space. #PlayoffMatty #MattyTheMenace #MattyLightsLamps\nTweet 7: With several large defensemen, the Vegas Golden Knights are well equipped to handle the physical battle style (especially against Matthew Tkachuk) of hockey that the Panthers play.

The home was built in 1777 by a group of masons who were hired by the Black and Rose families to construct a virtually indestructible home that would serve as a dwelling and safe house for the endangered children of the two families. The Black and Rose families were in trouble with neighboring families who sought to dissuade the children of the two families from getting married and forming a dynastic family that would rule over all of the United Kingdom.\n\nThis building has five levels, each with two bedrooms, a chamber room, and a dining room. Also featured in this stone fortress is a torture room, located in the bowels of the home away from prying eyes. The torture room was used by the Black Rose family to persuade their enemies to give up secret plans laid against them; some of the devices used in this room include the Iron Maiden, the Rack, and a flailing apparatus.\n\nIn 1820, however, the Manor was sacked by enemies, and the entire Black Rose family, from the adults down to the children, were slaughtered. The King and Queen of the Black Rose, Edgar and Eunice, were taken into their torture chamber and suffered at the hands of the enemy Manford clan before being left for dead in a poorly-ventilated cell beneath the building.\n\nOver the years, visitors to the Black Rose Manor reported multiple sightings of unusual phenomena around its halls, including ghostly apparitions, objects moving of their own accord, and the most unusual of them all: a feeling of absolute dread upon entering the torture chamber. \n\nNow, you are all welcome to join me in a walk down to the torture chamber - if you are brave enough!

However, the consensus across each retold version is that Snow White winds up saved by a handsome prince while her evil stepmother is doomed to death. \n\nThe best-retold fairytales often have humorous elements, so here are three funny, clever, unique retellings of the end of Snow White. \n\n•\tSnow White woke with a start, realizing that her life as a raven-haired, crimson-lipped beauty had been a dream. She sighed and ran her hands through her ginger hair, which she kept cut into a curly faux mohawk. She checked the messages on her dating app, then dragged herself out of bed to start another day as an NYC waitress. As the pigeons outside cooed, she rolled her eyes and shut the window, thankful for reprieve and peace from those godforsaken singing birds. \n\n•\tSnow White felt the press of the prince’s lips on hers, urging her to wake from her poisoned slumber. She cracked her eyelids to get a good look at him, cringed internally, and pretended to snore. She intended to keep up the sleeping charade until the royal creeper left her alone. \n\n•\tSnow White was always a step ahead of her evil stepmother. She had been building her immune system against poisoned apples in anticipation of what the old, bitter woman may try next. Now was her chance for vengeance while the witch thought she had incapacitated Snow White. Gathering a crossbow and a bag of poisoned apples, she set off for her stepmother’s castle, smiling to herself as she heard the clop of hooves from the passing prince. She didn’t need anyone else to save her. ",

Lenny had never been outside of the city in the 26 years he had been alive; Sally, on the other hand, grew up in West Virginia, where she was surrounded by beautiful snow-capped mountains and vast forests. On this second date, Lenny and Sally decided to drive approximately 30 miles north out of the city and away from the hustle and bustle of metropolitan life, toward a rocky mountain trail that boasted several miles of scenic hiking trails and a rumor of a hidden waterfall deep in the valley.\n\nThey drove in Lenny's car, a modern SUV capable of transporting two dating humans and their supplies: a cooler filled with ice, drinks and snacks, hiking gear, backpacks and swim attire. Lenny concentrated on the road but was able to keep an engaging conversation with Sally, who sat in the passenger's seat. \n\n\"I haven't been on this particular hike before, but I have read about it online and have been wanting to go. Now I'm glad I have someone to go with me!\" Sally told Lenny with excitement in her voice. Lenny was excited as well, but also a bit apprehensive at the idea of going hiking in an unfamiliar environment. The most hiking Lenny had ever done was going from block to block when visiting his favorite restaurants a few miles from his apartment building. He wondered if he would be accosted by bears or bitten by snakes while he was there, but he didn't want to appear nervous and risk looking weak in front of his new friend.\n\nAs if Sally had read Lenny's mind, she immediately confessed: \"I hope we don't get mauled by bears while we're out there hiking!\" Lenny, with a nervous laugh, replied: \"Don't worry, I'll protect you.\" Sally, with a wry smile, let Lenny in on the joke. \"I'm just playing. There's no wildlife where we're going. It's mostly well-established trails and lots of trees and birds. Plus, there are park rangers from the nearby forest reserves that can assist us in case we need it. We'll be fine.\"",

"content": "The cause of the problem is the way that Python handles mutable objects, compared to how it handles immutable data types.\n\nThe code you have provided generates a game grid as a list of lists, and lists are a mutable data type in Python. When the code assigns solution = grid, it is generating a reference to the list of lists described by grid, and not creating a duplicate list of lists. As the code causes subsequent changes to the contents of grid, these changes are also passed to the solution, as both solution and grid are pointing to the same object. Therefore, when the code displays both the grid and the solution, it displays the same object twice.\n\nTo avoid the issue of modifications to the grid list affecting the solution, it's necessary to create a separate copy of the list. One way of implementing this is to import the copy library, which provides the deepcopy() library function. The deepcopy() function creates a deep copy of an object, including all nested objects, ensuring that modifications to one copy do not affect the other.\n\n```Python\n#Import Python's random library, which allows for random number generation\nimport random\n#Import Python's copy library to enable the use of the deepcopy function\nimport copy\n\ndef generate_sudoku():\n # Create an empty 9x9 grid\n grid = [[0] * 9 for _ in range(9)]\n \n # Fill in the grid to create a completed Sudoku grid\n fill_numbers(grid)\n \n # Store the completed grid as the solution\n solution = copy.deepcopy(grid)\n \n # Remove some numbers to turn a completed\n # Sudoku grid into a puzzle\n remove_numbers(grid)\n \n # Output the generated puzzle and the solution\n return grid, solution\n\ndef fill_numbers(grid):\n # Generate a shuffled list of numbers from 1 to 9\n num_list = list(range(1, 10))\n random.shuffle(num_list)\n \n # Start the recursive process to fill numbers in the grid\n return fill_numbers_recursive(grid, num_list, 0)\n\ndef fill_numbers_recursive(grid, num_list, index):\n # Base case: if the index exceeds the last cell, the grid is filled completely\n if index >= 81:\n return True\n\n row = index // 9 # Calculate the row index from the current index\n col = index % 9 # Calculate the column index from the current index\n\n if grid[row][col] != 0:\n # If the current cell is already filled, move to the next cell\n return fill_numbers_recursive(grid, num_list, index + 1)\n\n random.shuffle(num_list)\n for num in num_list:\n if is_valid_move(grid, row, col, num):\n # If the current number is valid for the current cell, fill it in\n grid[row][col] = num\n if fill_numbers_recursive(grid, num_list, index + 1):\n # Recursively fill the next cell\n return True\n grid[row][col] = 0 # Backtrack if the next cell cannot be filled\n\n return False\n\ndef is_valid_move(grid, row, col, num):\n # Check if assigning the number to the given cell violates Sudoku rules\n \n # Check the row\n for j in range(9):\n if grid[row][j] == num:\n return False\n \n # Check the column\n for i in range(9):\n if grid[i][col] == num:\n return False\n \n # Check the 3x3 box\n box_start_row = 3 * (row // 3)\n box_start_col = 3 * (col // 3)\n for i in range(3):\n for j in range(3):\n if grid[box_start_row + i][box_start_col + j] == num:\n return False\n \n return True\n\ndef remove_numbers(grid):\n # Remove some numbers from the solved puzzle to create the puzzle\n \n # Determine the difficulty level (adjust the range of removals as desired)\n num_removals = 64\n \n # Check to see if the number of removals has been set to a value greater\n # than 64.

},
{
"content": "Sure! If you've ever gotten so consumed in a task that you forget about the outside world and completely lose track of time, you were likely in a state of flow. It may be commonly referred to as being \"in the zone.\" “Flow” and “flow state” are both terms frequently used in psychology and happiness research. Achieving flow is different than daydreaming, but activates the same part of the brain called the default mode network (DMN). The brain is relaxed when daydreaming, or doing nothing essentially. Interestingly, even though the brain is putting in thoughtful effort in flow, it is enjoyable and relaxing to the brain rather than feeling like work. It actually suppresses anxiety and frees up other parts of the brain to make meaningful connections. \n\nAs the understanding of flow increases, more and more people are looking to see how they can achieve flow. Here are some things you can do to set yourself up to flow: \n\n1. Set clear goals: First, it’s important to have a defined goal involving the task at hand. A finite goal is more beneficial than a time-oriented goal, as it is more likely to emit a feeling of accomplishment once the goal is met, or the task is finished. \n2. Find things that are the right amount of challenging: If a task or activity is too difficult, it’s hard for the brain to be relaxed enough to be in a flow state. However, the brain needs enough challenge for the brain to see it as interesting and engaging. \n3. Create an environment for focus: This means doing what you need to do to eliminate distractions. This also includes carving out time to achieve flow where you know you won’t be interrupted. \n4. Don’t forget about self-care: Oftentimes in a flow state, people don’t feel thirsty or need to use the bathroom or end up sitting in the same position for a long period that’s not necessarily ergonomic friendly. In order to achieve longer-lasting flow states and take of yourself at the same time, invest the time or energy into getting set up right by doing things like having water readily available or sitting in a proper ergonomic chair. \n5. Put away your phone: This deserves a category in itself because our phones can be the biggest distraction. Turn it off, switch it on do not disturb, or keep it out of sight. Do whatever you need to do to not be tempted to pick up your phone. \n6. Develop a pre-flow ritual: This can involve a number of things like checking your email and messages before tuning in to your work or activity, putting on a designated playlist, doing jumping jacks, etc. It’s more about whatever works for you to clear your mind and set you up for focus. \n7. Get to know yourself: It may take a bit of trial and error to find what works best for you to achieve flow. You can’t enjoy everything, but you can make most things enjoyable by knowing what motivates you and helps you get into a state of flow. \n\nPsychology experts have determined that flow is associated with increased dopamine, which plays a huge role in regulating mood and motivation. It's also been determined that you can go in and out of flow and have multiple flow states per day, but 90-120 minutes is an optimal flow state for many people. It’s good to want to achieve flow as often as possible in whatever you are doing for overall health and well-being. ",

However, it was not until 1848 that gold mining really kicked off.\n\nIn 1848, James Marshall—a carpenter and sawmill operator—went down to the American River in Coloma to inspect progress on a sawmill under construction, and saw something that defined the future of California’s economy.\n\n“My eye was caught by something shining in the bottom of the ditch. . . . I reached my hand down and picked it up; it made my heart thump, for I was certain it was gold. . . Then I saw another.”\n\n— James Marshall via Library of Congress.\n\nAs word spread, thousands of prospectors and gold-seekers made their way to California in search of their own shiny nuggets in an event now known as the Gold Rush. In fact, the influx of migrants was so large that they came to be known as the “forty-niners”, named after the year they started arriving. By 1855, miners had extracted over 12 million ounces of gold, and the Gold Rush neared its end.\n\nOver a century later, in 1968, “the Golden State” became California’s official nickname for both its prolific gold discoveries and golden poppy fields. By this time, most historical gold mines had ceased operations, but for California’s mining industry, it was just the beginning.\n\nMining in California Today\nAlthough California is well-known for Hollywood and Silicon Valley, it remains one of the most important states for mining in the country.\n\nAs of 2018, there were 739 mines in California producing 23 different commodities, from gold and rare earths to boron and construction minerals. Due to the industry’s size and significance, mining plays an important role in the Golden State’s economy.\n\nIn 2020, California’s mining industry generated:\n\n$7.3 billion in labor income\n$13.6 billion in GDP\n99,120 direct and indirect jobs\nMining companies in California benefit from access to clean energy, infrastructure, and well-established transport networks. Additionally, the Golden State is also known for its high reclamation standards, which ensure that mining sites are returned to their original undisturbed states, reducing the environmental impact of mines.",

"content": "A type of energy healing, Reiki was started in Japan in the 20th century. This particular form of healing is based on the belief that everyone has life force energy in their bodies. During treatment, a trained practitioner moves their hands above or on the body in hopes of promoting healing through a healthy energy flow.\n\nThough it can’t be proven how Reiki works exactly, there are theories. One such theory involved the “biofield,” an electromagnetic field that surrounds each living being. Some believe the biofield can cause changes in its vibrations that affect both physiological and psychological functions. \n\nThis type of healing is used for several problems, both physical and emotional. These include insomnia, stress, depression, pain, and anxiety. It can also help stabilize moods and improve sleep. No dangers or ill side effects have been reported in the use of Reiki when performed by well-trained practitioners. \n\nThose undergoing Reiki treatments will keep clothing on and can expect to feel very content and relaxed throughout. Some clients fall into a deep meditative state that contributes to the regulation of the nervous system. The typical treatment session length is 45-60 minutes. \n",

"content": "Hey Paul,\n\nAs you may know, my human and I live nearby. There's this thing we do at night that you may have heard of. It's called sleep. Most humans do it all night long, and I have to say, I've really been enjoying doing that myself lately. Especially since now, I'm allowed to sleep at the foot of my human's bed.\n\nAnyway, you may not be aware of this - I know I wasn't at first - but most humans (and dogs too I guess) really enjoy continuing that sleep into the morning. Like they don't all just pop up right as the sun comes up and go on with their day. I know my human in particular really seems to like staying in bed with his eyes closed until several hours after the sun comes up, even after his alarm clock has been making this awful noise.\n\nThe problem we're having is, you are using something called a leaf blower that is way louder than my human's alarm clock. And... you're using it way earlier than my human's alarm clock even starts making that sound. It has been making my human pretty grumpy, having to wake up way earlier than he's used to. And I have to say, having a grumpy human really makes for a pretty grumpy dog too.\n\nWe were wondering if it wouldn't be too much trouble if you'd consider starting to use your loud leaf blower just a little bit later in the morning. Like, still use it of course, but maybe there's a way that you can blow to your heart's content, and we can still get enough sleep?\nPlease and thank you!\n\nFondly, \nSkip",

},
{
"content": "I am writing today to discuss the important and damaging social phenomenon of the creepy doll. Creepy dolls have been a staple of horror movies and cult fascination for centuries, but this fascination also has a real-life impact on society. From antique dolls with vacant expressions to modern eerily lifelike dolls that talk and move, these toys have the power to evoke strong emotions. While some may find them charming or collectible, others don't. I find them to be a true danger to society and a horror for some.\n\nFirst and foremost, utilizing a child's toy as an object of fear is simply uncalled for. Children are often afraid of the dark, and when they are given a doll that seems to be watching them and looks terrifying, it can be traumatizing. This can create phobias and anxieties, and negatively impact a child's psychological development and mental health. \n\nAdditionally, the fear of creepy dolls is not unfounded. Scientific studies show that humans can have an innate fear of objects that resemble human faces but aren't alive. This psychological phenomenon is known as the \"uncanny valley\", and it can cause feelings of discomfort and even revulsion in people. When a doll crosses this line and becomes too realistic, it can cause this genuine fear and anxiety.\n\nMoreover, dolls have a significant cultural history of being associated with possession. Voodoo dolls, for example, are believed to have the power to manipulate someone's fate and physical presence. Similarly, the concept of a doll coming to life and attacking is a common reoccurring theme in horror stories. This leads to a distrust of dolls and reinforces the fear that dolls could be used for nefarious purposes. In recent years, there have even been several instances where dolls have been used as part of hoax threats or pranks, causing unnecessary alarm and panic. \n\nIn conclusion, the risks and horrors of creepy dolls cannot be underestimated. Some find them harmless or entertaining, but others can experience genuine fear, anxiety, and psychological harm. It is essential to be aware of these risks and limit the use of creepy dolls, especially dolls intended for children. It is also important to recognize the cultural and historical significance of dolls and the joy they bring to people. Let's stop allowing the damage of creepy dolls and stop their creation and use now.",

"content": "I admit that Dusty Baker is a living legend. He had a pretty solid playing career, winning one World Series. As a manager, he won a World Series too, and has also racked up over 2,000 wins.\n\nYet, I can’t shake the feeling that he gets too much credit. I bleed Cubby blue and I was never happier than when Dusty finally left the team. For me, those early 2000s years were the best years to be a Cubs fan and it was Dusty who ruined the era.\n\nThe players we had were all quite good and there was a huge buzz going into each season. Names like Sammy Sosa, Kerry Wood, and Mark Prior spring to mind and defined the team back then. The first year Dusty did lead them to a winning record and the postseason but after 2003 it was all downhill.\n\nThe team had the talent but they didn’t have the right manager. He misused the pitchers constantly and Mark Prior, one of the most promising pitching prospects in decades, had his career cut short due in large part to overwork. The same can be said of Kerry Wood who faced a similar fate. Baker became known for putting his pitchers under tremendous workloads and it just wore them down until they broke.\n\nThe Cubs were set up for years if not a decade of success with some of the best arms in the game and he destroyed them. He was not even very good with managing relievers, always preferring to stick to the old-school approach of going with his gut.\n\nThis is not the right approach for a manager. Even in the early 2000s, analytics were being used by teams to create a competitive advantage but Dusty refused. At one point he even made public comments that walking was bad because it clogged the bases. He just did not create an atmosphere conducive to success.\n\nIn the end, he only lasted 4 years with the Cubs and I am very glad for that. He spoiled the team’s chances of post-season success and it took them a decade to recover. I won’t forget Dusty at all, but I also won’t give him credit when the negatives under his leadership far outweigh any of the positives.",

"content": "Rewrite these paragraphs by replacing every adjective with an adjective that means the opposite of the original adjective.\n\n'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone\" is a red-blooded adventure movie, dripping with atmosphere, filled with the gruesome and the sublime, and surprisingly faithful to the novel. A lot of things could have gone wrong, and none of them have: Chris Columbus' movie is an enchanting classic that does full justice to a story that was a daunting challenge. The novel by J.K. Rowling was muscular and vivid, and the danger was that the movie would make things too cute and cuddly. It doesn't. Like an \"Indiana Jones\" for younger viewers, it tells a rip-roaring tale of supernatural adventure, where colorful and eccentric characters alternate with scary stuff like a three-headed dog, a pit of tendrils known as the Devil's Snare and a two-faced immortal who drinks unicorn blood. Scary, yes, but not too scary--just scary enough.\n\nThree high-spirited, clear-eyed kids populate the center of the movie. Daniel Radcliffe plays Harry Potter, with round glasses, and like all of the young characters he looks much as I imagined him, but a little older. He once played David Copperfield on the BBC, and whether Harry will be the hero of his own life in this story is much in doubt at the beginning.\n\nDeposited as a foundling on a suburban doorstep, Harry is raised by his aunt and uncle as a poor relation, then summoned by a blizzard of letters to become a student at Hogwarts School, an Oxbridge for magicians. Our first glimpse of Hogwarts sets the tone for the movie's special effects. Although computers can make anything look realistic, too much realism would be the wrong choice for \"Harry Potter,\" which is a story in which everything, including the sets and locations, should look a little made up. The school, rising on ominous Gothic battlements from a moonlit lake, looks about as real as Xanadu in \"Citizen Kane,\" and its corridors, cellars and great hall, although in some cases making use of real buildings, continue the feeling of an atmospheric book illustration. At Hogwarts, Harry makes two friends and an enemy. The friends are Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), whose merry face and tangled curls give Harry nudges in the direction of lightening up a little, and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), all pluck, luck and untamed talents. The enemy is Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton), who will do anything, and plenty besides, to be sure his house places first at the end of the year.\n\nThe story you either already know, or do not want to know. What is good to know is that the adult cast, a who's who of British actors, play their roles more or less as if they believed them. There is a broad style of British acting, developed in Christmas pantomimes, which would have been fatal to this material; these actors know that, and dial down to just this side of too much. Watch Alan Rickman drawing out his words until they seem ready to snap, yet somehow staying in character. Maggie Smith, still in the prime of Miss Jean Brodie, is Prof. Minerva McGonagall, who assigns newcomers like Harry to one of the school's four houses. Richard Harris is headmaster Dumbledore, his beard so long that in an Edward Lear poem, birds would nest in it. Robbie Coltrane is the gamekeeper, Hagrid, who has a record of misbehavior and a way of saying very important things and then not believing that he said them.\n\nComputers are used, exuberantly, to create a plausible look in gravity-defying action scenes. Readers of the book will wonder how the movie visualizes the crucial game of Quidditch. The game, like so much else in the movie, is more or less as I visualized it, and I was reminded of Stephen King's theory that writers practice a form of telepathy, placing ideas and images in the heads of their readers. (The reason some movies don't look like their books may be that some producers don't read them.) If Quidditch is a virtuoso sequence, there are other set pieces of almost equal wizardry. A chess game with life-size, deadly pieces. A room filled with flying keys. The pit of tendrils, already mentioned, and a dark forest where a loathsome creature threatens Harry but is scared away by a centaur. And the dark shadows of Hogwarts library, cellars, hidden passages and dungeons, where an invisibility cloak can keep you out of sight but not out of trouble.\n\nDuring \"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,\" I was pretty sure I was watching a classic, one that will be around for a long time, and make many generations of fans. It takes the to be good. It doesn't hammer the audience with easy thrills but cares to tell a story and to create its characters carefully. Like \"The Wizard of Oz,\" \"Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,\" \"Star Wars\" and \"E.T.,\" it isn't just a movie but a world with its own magical rules.

"content": "Cleaning Supplies - Basic cleaning supplies such as dishwashing soap, glass cleaners, laundry detergent, toilet cleaners, carpet cleaners, and all-purpose cleaners are typically very affordable. In the event of a future supply shortage, these will also be among the first items to disappear off the shelves, so stockpiling any kind of cleaning items now while you still can will be wise. \n\nPeanut Butter - Peanut butter is a wise item to stockpile (so long as you don't have a peanut allergy) because of the wide variety of meals and dishes it can be included in. Furthermore, peanut butter can provide a good source of protein for those who are on vegetarian diets. \n\nPet Food - Do you have any pets, such as dogs or cats? If so, stock up on as much pet food for them now while you still can. People care deeply about their animals, so you can bet that pet food will fly off the shelves fast in the event of a major disruption to the supply chains. \n\nWater Purification Tablets - Water purification tablets are critical for ensuring that the water you collect is made safe to drink. What's more, you can usually buy hundreds of tablets for super cheap. \n\nCan Openers - Have you stockpiled any canned food? If so, you'll want to start stockpiling a few can openers as well. ",

"content": "Write a letter to my birthmother letting her know I've found her and asking if she'd like to pursue a relationship with me now that I'm an adult. Share a few details on the accomplishments I've made and my upbringing with my adoptive parents. The tone of the letter should be friendly and forgiving so she knows that I don't blame her for her decision to give me away. Limit it to under 300 words and use some fancy language so she'll know I got a great education. Her name is Samantha and my name is Carrie.",

"content": "Dear Samantha,\n\n\nHey, mom! I hope you don't mind me calling you that. I've waited 18 long years to be able to write this letter. The joy I felt when I was finally able to put a name and a face to the woman who brought me into this world was immeasurable. The only thing that could have made it better would have been for you to be the one presenting that information to me. \n\nI know that you've since remarried and that I have two half-siblings that are still in your care. I don't say this to hurt your feelings or make you feel guilty for not choosing to keep me. In fact, it was only recently that I learned the details of what you were going through when you put me up for adoption. I now see your decision as a selfless act, and I'm proud that you have gotten to a stage in your life where you can have a healthy, stable family.\n\nThe family you placed me with always gave me the option to reach out to you, but being young and confused my displaced anger always fell in your direction. I wish I had taken the time to learn your story back then; if I had, this day could have come much sooner. Nevertheless, I would love to meet you. I'm especially eager to show you all of my academic and athletic accolades and to talk to you about my career plans and life goals. Let me know what you think!\n\nWith unconditional love,\nYour eldest daughter Carrie ",

"content": "Here is a list I have gathered of five caves that would be ideal to explore for beginners:\n\n1. Carlsbad Caverns, Carlsbad, New Mexico: With over a hundred limestone caverns, Carlsbad has a little bit of something for everyone. Be wary, as the main hike is physically demanding. \n2. Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota: Known for its abundance of calcite formations, this cave hosts many different geological points of interest. It is also a sacred site for the Lakota Natives of the area. \n3. Cosmic Cavern, Berryville, Arkansas: This cave hosts the largest underground lake in the Ozarks. It has won the title of Arkansas' most beautifully decorated cave. \n4. Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky: The length of the cave system of Mammoth Cave National Park is among the longest in the world. The limestone tunnels have over 400 miles of chambers.\n5. Fantastic Caverns; Springfield, Missouri: If hiking on your own is not your style, this cave system offers an hour-long tram ride as a means of exploring the cavern. ",
