Write a 4 stanza rhyming poem about a lonely sea shell that is homeless and wandering the sea in search of a new home.
The lonely seashell wanders His nights are cold and long He sits still and ponders And sings his seashell song Sometimes he travels north Other times he floats south But he's always moving forward And he never backs down The lonely seashell wanders And he wanders into June July and August pass October coming soon Soon he'll find his home His spot in the sea But a lonely sea shells home Is wherever he may be
Write a news article about how a new study was just completed by Harvard that shows the reason so many people are gluten intolerant is not because of the gluten, but because of the pesticides used on wheat when it’s growing. Don’t bog it down with science and facts, but do talk about how dangerous pesticide food is within industrial farming. Less than 300 words.
Millions of Americans have restricted or completely cut out gluten from their diets. While some skip gluten because of a chosen diet, most people do so because their bodies have rejected gluten. But a Harvard study has recently released new and incredibly interesting information which states that millions of people who think they are allergic or intolerant to gluten actually have no problem with gluten at all! We’re here to tell you that if you believe your body cannot properly digest gluten, or even if your doctor diagnosed you with an allergy, it is extremely likely that you have no problem with glutenous food that contains wheat. In fact, you’re likely not allergic to wheat at all. The Harvard study found that it is actually the pesticides used on wheat that are causing millions of people to struggle with gluten digestion. That means that if you grew wheat in your yard without any pesticides, you would probably be able to eat anything you made with it without any issues at all! Now, it’s important to note that this is not the case for 100% of those Americans with gluten allergies. A select few may actually be intolerant to gluten itself; however, for millions of Americans, this could change everything. But in order for the masses to be able to enjoy glutenous products again, something needs to change in the way we allow industrial farmers to treat and grow wheat. Exactly how that will happen is still unclear. But there has certainly been a lot of talk since the study was released about exactly what these big farms are putting on our food and how it’s affecting not only what we eat but also how we feel.

Name three types of golf clubs used by golfers and what they are used for in a numbered list.
Here are three types of golf clubs used by golfers: 1. Woods- They are used for long-distance shots because they have the largest heads and the longest shafts which allow golfers to swing them the fastest compared to other clubs. 2. Wedges- They are used for short-range lofted shots into the greens and playing out of sand bunkers because they have a major angled clubhead. 3. Putters- They are used on the putting greens in order to knock the ball into the hole.

Please write a typical isekai anime scenario for me. It needs to start out in a school setting and then end in a different place altogether. Make it between 300 to 400 words,
The sun dropped low in the sky as the school bell rang to signal the end of club activities. Students poured out of the school for the final time that day, with the teachers seeing them off as they went home. That day, Kofune walked with two of his friends. It was an ordinary day like any other. They talked about whether they would get the new game that had come out recently. As they talked, their everyday surroundings blended into the same indiscernible backdrop. As their attention shifted inward, calamity struck. A truck ran the red light at an intersection that had always been perfectly safe. Kofune was the first to see it. His body reacted before anyone else's, and he shoved his two friends out of the way of danger. He wasn't so fortunate, and the impact brought him within inches of death's door. As he lay there, the world fading, he wished he could have continued to live out his life. He regretted not being able to do the things he'd always dreamed of. Kofune woke with a start in a forest. He checked his body, but there were no injuries. He also had no idea where he was and searched his memory for clues. He remembered being struck by a truck, then he heard the voices of his friends followed by sirens. Then there was a voice of a woman who asked him what his deepest desire was. He remembered answering that he wanted the strength to live out his dreams. His wish was granted, and the next thing Kofune knew, he was waking in the forest. He looked around, but nothing was familiar. He didn't recognize the types of trees or any of the plants. It struck Kofune at that moment that he was no longer in Japan anymore.

Come up with a short story about a man who rises from poverty to become a multimillionaire virtually overnight, and the problems associated with his new-found wealth.
Melvin lived in poverty, trying his best to make ends meet for himself, his two young sons, and his two puppies, who he considered members of the family. He tried as best he could to evaluate the situation in front of him with objective scrutiny; he was told by many people to "get rid of the dogs, they cost you too much money" and "get a job." Those people were right, but Melvin's emotions and other factors played into his decision to stay at home and be a father to his four children. But on one fateful day, he decided to answer an online advertisement for writers for a new company. He knew his capabilities; he was a good typist and a decent writer. Driven by the fear of having to live another day without enough money for food for his family, Melvin applied for the job, and after being hired by the company and working there for several months, he had enough money to pay for food at the grocery store. While at the store, something caught his eye: the national $50 million lottery. Melvin decided to take a small chance and put down the $10 for the ticket, with the slimmest and most remote of hopes that he would hit it big. That hope became extraordinary joy and disbelief when his ticket was the winning ticket for the $50 million, and now he was a multimillionaire virtually overnight. However, his joy and happiness were soon replaced by feelings of emptiness and sorrow as the people around him, those he considered friends, began asking for more and more money and left when the money ran out. Melvin had spent the entire $50 million within the short span of a year, buying a house, throwing lavish parties, and blowing through the rest with reckless abandon. Melvin bought seemingly useless or meaningless items, such as a dinosaur's skull, a comic book collection, diamond-studded jewelry for his sons, and diamond-studded collars for his dogs. Melvin was foolish with his money, and as it is commonly said, "a fool is soon parted with his money."
I’m taking a brief trip to Pittsburgh this weekend, what are some cool sites or things to do around the city? Any parks worth visiting or seeing? In the past, I’ve gone to mount Washington and station square but I’d love to see more, as well as cool stuff in those areas. I love public and historic sites and parks, as well as any buildings that are just cool to look at.
- Point State Park: Point state park is one of the best in the city. It’s located where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers meet to form the Ohio River. The area played a big role in the French and Indian War in the mid-1700s, and it houses the Fort Pitt Museum and Fort Pitt Block House, as well as the Three Rivers Heritage Trail. There are tons of plaques, monuments, and markers that detail the park’s history. It’s also a great place to watch the sunset. - The Cathedral of Learning: The Cathedral is one of the most stunning landmarks in Pittsburgh. The Cathedral of Learning is a 42-story skyscraper and is home to many classrooms, libraries, a theater, and many other things. When it was built, it was the tallest building in the city, and it is still the second-tallest educational building in the world. - Old Allegheny County Jail: This prison was open for a hundred years between the late 1800s and late 1900s. A bridge called the Bridge of Sighs connects it to the courthouse. It’s now a museum, and you are able to do self-guided tours. - Fort Pitt Museum: The Fort Pitt Museum tells of the history of the role western Pennsylvania played during events in US history like the French and Indian War and the American Revolution. There are many figures and artifacts throughout the two-story museum, and it’s a must-visit if you’re looking for history. - The Duquesne Incline: The Incline is an iconic part of the city and, once up on Mount Washington, you can get incredible views of the city. The incline is over 100 years old and opened in the late 1800s. Once on Mount Washington, there are plenty of restaurants overlooking the city, as well as scenic outlooks.
What happened to Germany after World War II? Instead of administering and policing Germany side by side, as the Allies did in postwar Austria, the decision was made at Potsdam to divide Germany into four distinct occupation zones, one for each Allied nation (including France). The British were assigned the northwest quadrant, the French the southwest, and the Americans the southeast. Since the Soviet army already occupied much of eastern Germany, the Soviet Union was put in charge of the northeast quadrant, which included the capital Berlin. Berlin itself was also subdivided into four quadrants, with the British, French, Soviets and Americans each policing a different zone of the capital, which was fully surrounded by Soviet-occupied territory.
After World War II, the Allied Powers decided to split Germany into four zones, one controlled by each member of the Allied Powers and one by the Soviet Union. The capital of Berlin was also split following the same idea.
Can you help me write a PowerShell script that will compress a list of *.mkv files into *.mp4 files in the current directory using ffmpeg? I'd like to use libx264 to compress the video with CRF 22 and a slow preset, as well as aac to compress the audio.
Of course! Here is a PowerShell script that will iterate through all the files that match the *.mkv format. It will then run the ffmpeg command, use as input each file that it finds, compress it, and output it with a new mp4 extension. Get-ChildItem .\ -Filter *.mkv | ForEach-Object { $new_name = $_.BaseName + ".mp4" ffmpeg -i $_.FullName -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 22 -c:a aac $new_name }

Write an article for homeowners that addresses the question of whether to hire a pro for home repairs. Keep the article around 250 words. Include some helpful information that could give the homeowner clear direction on this topic. You can leave the conclusion. I'll write that.
All homeowners will have to do their share of cleaning out clogged drains and painting rooms. Often, home repairs are as simple as painting the front door or replacing the bathroom floor. Though these types of repairs can certainly work up a sweat and take up your whole weekend, they are usually pretty straightforward and don’t take a rocket scientist to complete. Occasionally though, you may be faced with repairs that are way beyond your scope of expertise. These days you can find a YouTube video that describes how to complete just about any repair imaginable. There are some areas, however, where you may find it much more beneficial (and safer) to hire a pro. All electrical work should be completed by a licensed electrician. That mindset goes for plumbing as well, except for the occasional leaky faucet or clogged drain. Rewiring or re-plumbing a whole house is not only a huge undertaking, but most cities require that this scope of work be completed by a licensed pro in accordance with city codes and permits. That way, your city can set a certain standard for the whole community so that your family can feel safe knowing that all the houses on the block had to pass inspection on their electrical wiring, plumbing, and building specifications. Do some research to find several reputable companies. It’s pretty easy to find out if an electrician, plumber, or builder has gotten bad feedback from past customers to determine if they're worth your time.
Rewrite this article as if it were a news script for a news station called USN. Special counsel Jack Smith's office has obtained a recording of former President Donald Trump discussing a classified planning document that he had taken from his time at the White House, a source directly familiar with the matter told NBC News. The planning document Trump kept was related to Iran, the source said, and the former president acknowledged on the tape that it was classified. The recording was made in July 2021 during a meeting at Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, that included people who were helping former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows write his memoir, the source said. The tape was played during testimony provided to the grand jury that has been investigating Trump's handling of classified documents, the source added. The evidence appears to undercut Trump’s claim that he declassified all the government documents that came into his possession after he left the White House, and it would be important in any effort by prosecutors to prove that Trump knew he possessed classified information. News that federal officials had obtained the audio recording was first reported by CNN. NBC News has not heard the recording. The special counsel's investigation into Trump, which focuses on his alleged mishandling of more than 100 classified documents that were discovered at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida last year, appears to be approaching an end. Trump has denied any wrongdoing, rebuffing allegations that he mishandled classified documents. He claimed last year that he can declassify documents “by thinking about it.” FBI agents said in a redacted affidavit last year that they found 184 unique documents that had classification markings in the 15 boxes that Trump returned to the National Archives in January. The affidavit stated that 25 documents were marked as “TOP SECRET,” 67 documents marked as “confidential” and 92 marked “secret.” That then led to the Aug. 8 search of Mar-a-Lago by FBI agents who recovered a trove of top secret and other highly classified documents, court documents unsealed by a federal judge said.

Write a story in which a woman gets a surprise proposal. Make the tone lighthearted and funny. Include zombies in the story too. It should be no longer than 5 paragraphs.
She had always dreamed of a romantic proposal. She imagined her boyfriend would take her to a fancy restaurant, a scenic park, or a rooftop with a view. She imagined he would get down on one knee, pull out a ring, and say those four words: “Will you marry me?” She did not imagine he would do it in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. They had been dating for two years when the outbreak happened. They had survived by sticking together, finding shelter, and fighting off the undead. They had seen things no one should ever see. They had lost friends and family. They had learned to cherish every moment. One day, they were scavenging for supplies in an abandoned supermarket. They had split up to cover more ground. She was in the canned food aisle, looking for something edible. He was in the jewelry section, looking for something shiny. He found a ring. It was not the most expensive or elegant ring, but it was the only one left. He decided to take it. He decided to propose. He decided to make her happy. He ran to find her. He saw her at the end of the aisle, holding a can of beans. He shouted her name. She turned around and smiled. He smiled back. He reached into his pocket and took out the ring. He got down on one knee and held it up. He said those four words: “Will you marry me?” She gasped. She dropped the can of beans. She looked at him with shock and disbelief. She looked at the ring with awe and wonder. She looked around and saw zombies closing in on them. She laughed. She laughed so hard she cried. She laughed because it was absurd and ridiculous and hilarious. She laughed because it was sweet and sincere and adorable. She laughed because it was perfect. She said yes. They kissed. They hugged. They put on the ring. They picked up the can of beans. They fought their way out of the supermarket.

Make a MMORPG video game-based isekai opening scene in first person. I'd like 4 paragraphs, between 300-350 words.
My name is Ushio. I play the MMORPG called End of Time. It was a big game when it first came out. Now, though, it doesn't have enough players to sustain itself. In the interest of money, after over twelve years of service, the game shut down. At least, it should have shut down. I mean, it did shut down. But somehow, I'm inside the game! I ran it over in my mind. I went to sleep last night at the same time as always. I had school the next day. It was a test day, so I didn't want to stay up too late playing. When I woke up, though, I was clad in my wizard robes and in what should have been the Tokkeil Inn, as I recognized it. I went to the desk to check out, and the NPC was there smiling and moving about like a real human. She greeted me and asked how I found the room. I told her it was a good room and then asked a few questions like the name of the town I was in and the name of the inn. She rattled off the answers like people asked the same things all the time. I thanked her and then left, checking the sign on my way out. Everything was exactly as I remembered it being in the game. I was at the Tokkeil Inn in a frontier village named Raskur. Just beyond the village should have been the no-fly zone that signaled the start of the hardest area of the game, the Demon Den. It's the place where I logged out of the game before it shut down the night before. During the game's prime, this village was a gathering place for all the top-ranked players. Of course, if the game had become reality, it would be a crummy village with no reason to be there. That's when I realized I was in End of Time!

Create a blog post about how to spot the signs of a dental filling that's failing. It should include the symptoms and signs of a bad filling, while also urging the importance of early treatment.
Dental fillings are usually made from composite resin, metallic amalgam, or a special type of gold alloy. Though some are made from special dental grade porcelain that initially looks just like real tooth enamel. They are cemented to the surrounding tooth enamel to treat a small area of tooth decay or a physical defect like a chipped tooth. While they are meant to last a long time, all dental fillings have a finite lifespan. If you struggle to maintain a good oral hygiene regimen, the demineralization effect on your tooth enamel can gradually weaken the seam between the natural tooth enamel and the dental filling material. As this continues to progress bacteria could gain increasing access to the area. As the bacteria starts to affect more and more of the tooth, you might notice discomfort or newly developed sensitivity. In some cases, you might also notice a change in surface texture or color. Without professional treatment from a dentist, the tooth could suffer from worsening complications. If you’re lucky and it’s just a small dental filling that’s just started to fail, the dentist might be able to simply replace it with a new dental filling. This usually involves removing a small amount of the surrounding tooth enamel before applying a slightly larger dental filling. If the bad dental filling is large or a new area of tooth decay has developed in the adjacent tooth enamel your dentist might recommend treating the tooth with a dental crown restoration. This will call for completely replacing the entire tooth enamel layer. Though one thing's for sure. The longer you wait to get a suspected bad filling treated, the more likely it is to fail. The more time that goes by without a dentist's attention the more likely tooth decay is to develop under the bad dental filling. In some cases, it could even allow bacteria to invade the root of the tooth causing a toothache, which might require a root canal.
Home automation is all the hype these days and I am wondering if it’s a good investment. Can you give me some reasons why it is? I’m away from home often, so I want to know how it can help me when I’m away. Only give me information on that. I’d like to have some control and oversight on what’s going on in my house when I’m away.
Sure! Here are some reasons why a home automation system may be a good investment for you if you stay away from home often: 1. Cost-savings: Home automation saves you money by lowering your utility costs and reducing trips home to turn off appliances. It gives you total control of your expenses and reduces your additional effort. 2. Secures Your Home with Automated Locking: Automated door locks are a key feature in a home automation system. It locks the doors with a single tap. When you’re away, you can always check if your home is locked and secure. Live monitoring even allows you to see who might enter your home in real-time from anywhere in the world. It is especially useful if you have children who may forget to lock the doors before leaving. 3. Security Cameras with Live Monitoring: Home automation systems make it easy to keep an eye on what is going on in and around the house. Security cameras capture movement even when you're not there. You’ll always know everything that happens inside the house. 4. Thermostat Control: With home automation, you can change the temperature in your home a few hours before returning home so it is at your desired temperature when you arrive. It saves energy and is cost-effective. 5. You Can Control Lighting and Home Appliance From Anywhere: Home automation will provide increased safety for your family and house by allowing you to manage lighting and appliances through technological gadgets. You can control it all from anywhere. Smart-home automation lets you easily check if everything is turned off when not in use. 6. You’ll Save Valuable Time: With the high-tech features of home automation, you no longer need to rush home to answer the door, adjust household items or worry about everything on your to-do list. It saves time and increases productivity, especially for someone like you.
Can you write a script for the opening scene of a play about obese hamsters? The characters should all be anthropomorphized hamsters who wear clothes and hats. The scene takes place in a private lounge, since these are wealthy hamsters with servants.
ACT 1 Scene 1 Evening - opulent lounge in the city. Three obese hamsters wearing clothes and hats are sitting in a private lounge. Servants scurry through the room taking orders and attending to the guests. Low light comes from a hanging chandelier whose crystals twinkle softly as a backdrop to the hamsters' conversation. ALOICOUS It's rather hot in here, don't you think, Stevens? STEVENS Quite. Perhaps ask one of the servants to turn down the heat. PERNELLA I can't imagine what you mean. It's not hot in here at all, you two. Let the servants alone for once. (Aloicous signals a servant, who scurries over.) ALOICOUS It's sweltering in here. Could you please edge the thermostat down a touch? That's a good man. (Without speaking, the servant nods and exits stage left.) PERNELLA Well, now you've done it, Aloicous. I'm going to be freezing my toes off in a minute and it's all your fault. STEVENS At least you won't be able to see your toes freezing. (Stevens and Aloicous have a laugh at Pernella's expense.) PERNELLA Laugh if you must, but you're both as round and I am, if not rounder. You've had a piece of carrot stuck to your shorts for an hour now, Aloicous, and you haven't even noticed. So who's blind now? (Aloicous tries to look at his shorts and rolls comically out of his chair.)
I am having trouble training my dog to go to the bathroom outside. Can you provide some different methods I could try?
Potty training your dog to go outside can be hard. Here are some helpful tips for you to try. 1. Outdoor Confinement: Create a small area of confinement outdoors. When your dog wakes in the morning, take them to this area of confinement and stand back. If your dog goes to the bathroom within the first ten minutes praise them. However, if they do not bring the dog back inside, keep them on a short leash under your watch. If the dog tries to go to the bathroom inside, interrupt them and take them back to the area of confinement. Slowly ween your dog out of the area of confinement once they are fully using this area within 10 minutes. 2. Bells: Hang bells on your door knob. Each time you go outside use your dog's paw to tap the bells. The idea behind this is that when the dog needs to go to the bathroom, it will tap the bells, alerting you to the fact they need to go outside. 3. Be Alert: Be alert to your dog's elimination patterns. Do they need to go to the bathroom after eating, sleeping, or playing? If there is a pattern, you can easily take your dog outside after these activities. This also includes signs your dog is exhibiting when needing to go outside to potty, such as: • Spinning in circles. • Going to areas where they have previously had accidents. • Hiding in another room, around corners, behind furniture. • Scratching or barking at the door. 4. Timer: Set a timer! Sometimes we can lose track of time if the dog is not showing signs when they need to go outside. Remember to practice patience and not give up. Your dog will start going outside to potty before you know it.
What is the moral of this story? This is the story: In ancient Greek, there was a king named Midas. He had a lot of gold and everything he needed. He also had a beautiful daughter. Midas loved his gold very much, but he loved his daughter more than his riches. One day, a satyri named Silenus got drunk and passed out in Midas’ rose garden. Believing that Satyrs always bring good luck, Midas lets Silenus rest in his palace until he is sober, against the wishes of his wife and daughter. Silenus is a friend of Dionysus, the god of wine and celebration. Upon learning Midas’ kindness towards his friend, Dionysus decides to reward the keg. When asked to wish for something, Midas says “I wish everything I touch turns to gold”. Although Dionysus knew it was not a great idea, he granted Midas his wish. Happy that his wish was granted, Midas went around touching random things in the garden and his palace and turned them all into gold. He touched an apple, and it turned into a shiny gold apple. His subjects were astonished but happy to see so much gold in the palace. In his happiness, Midas went and hugged his daughter, and before he realized, he turned her into a lifeless, golden statue! Aghast, Midas ran back to the garden and called for Dionysus. He begged the god to take away his power and save his daughter. Dionysus gives Midas a solution to change everything back to how it was before the wish. Midas learned his lesson and lived the rest of his life content with what he had. Choices for the moral of the story: 1. Hug your daughter tightly, as she might turn into gold tomorrow. 2. Don't be greedy and feel content with what you have. 3. It is good to drink a lot and pass out. 4. There is no downside to being able to turn everything into gold.
2. Don't be greedy and feel content with what you have.
Summarize the second habit of great leaders in four sentences. Here is the source I used. https://www.kudos.com/blog/8-habits-of-great-bosses 2. Great Bosses Listen to Their Employees Great bosses don't just communicate clearly, they actively listen to their employees and seek their input. Then, they act on the input received as quickly as possible. By listening to your workforce and implementing their suggestions, you'll show your team that you value them and their opinions. When employees feel valued, they generally work harder and more productively and are more engaged in their jobs. It's important to remember that hearing and listening are two different things. Listening requires you to concentrate on what your employees say, rather than simply letting their voices wash over your eardrums without effect. If, after listening to your team you decide to go in a different direction, make sure to explain to your team why you made that choice. That way they always feel respected.
The second habit of a great boss is actively listening to their employees. Listening to employees and then implementing their suggestions makes everyone feel valued and increases productivity.
Summarize the myth busted by this text. Myth 8: 90 Percent of Fights Go to the Ground This is often passed around in grappling arts and it is based on a study of law enforcement. What happens between the police and the people they are fighting isn’t what happens on the street day-to-day. There is a more updated study that shows about half of fights going to the ground. However, that study is based on CCTV footage so we don’t know how many of those people were compromised by drugs or alcohol. I was a high school teacher for years and I seldom saw hallway fights go to the ground. Did some? Yes. But not often. All that can be said for certain is that, in a fight, going to the ground is definitely a possibility.
There is a myth that 90 percent of fights go to the ground. An updated study shows this only happens in about half of fights.

I am coming up with a story about a young woman who has left her safe family life to join an army of aliens who landed on her planet and demanded the firstborn of every family to help them in the war against another alien species that wants to take the planet. I need you to give me 3 different possible starting paragraphs for the story. Make sure her name is mentioned and give a little indication of her appearance. Use numbered format.
1. Sasha stepped nervously onto the ship ramp with the wind threatening to whip her golden hair from its braid. She’d always known her duty as firstborn would be to serve the Kardille. They had changed her world forever when they showed up with their demands for help, and the treaties assured that every firstborn from the native families would serve in their war against a species even more alien that also wanted to steal the planet. Sasha gripped the railing with a delicate amber colored hand and stepped forward. 2. Jennifer frowned as she surveyed the dishwater gray monstrosity of a building in front of her. The height of the doors was intimidating; they were designed for the tall Kardillean forms to fit through. At least she wouldn’t bump her head on any of the frames here. Jennifer was taller than most people she knew, something that had always embarrassed her, but maybe that was a good thing now that she had been called to duty as firstborn. She could never blend in with the aliens that had taken over the world and demanded the firstborn of every family in servitude against its endless war with another species that wanted to steal her planet. She did have pale, milky skin, though, closer to theirs than most of her people with their golden tans. 3. Bree really didn’t understand the point of making a firstborn walk over three miles on foot to the Kardille intake center. It was bad enough that every family had to give up their oldest kid to the aliens who had taken over their world. Why not make it just a little easier to be ripped away from everyone she loved? She pushed black hair out of her eyes and sighed as she surveyed the road. She was strong and muscular so the exercise wouldn’t kill her. The road was pretty smooth at least. It was just too bad there wasn’t any traffic going in her direction. All she could do was just keep walking and try not to think about the fact that she was going to fight a war that wasn’t hers against some other alien species that might be worse than the one they already had.

Sum up for me what the words below are saying in one sentence. What Is the Difference Between a Nonet and an Etheree? The nonet is similar to the etheree poetry form, which consists of ten lines. In the etheree, each line’s syllable count increases as it goes along. The first line contains one syllable, the second line contains two, and so on until the final line.
Nonet and Etheree poems are similar, with the latter starting with one syllable and adding another with each line until it stops on the tenth.
How do tigers hunt?
Tigers hunt by grabbing and biting their prey on the neck until it dies. Biting the neck keeps the tiger safe from the prey’s antlers and hooves. After the prey has died, the tiger will drag it to a safe place to eat. Normally, the tiger hunts large prey, such as bantengs, sambar, muntjac, gaur and wild pig. The experienced adult tiger hunts carefully, in a way that causes the least injury. Tigers eat about 18 - 40 kg in one meal. They eat the hip of the prey first. A single female tiger hunts every 8 - 8.5 days. They only successfully catch prey on one out of twelve hunts.
Write a story about a ten-year-old kid named Michael that loves the Chicago Bulls (Basketball) and has aspirations to join the team. Please make the story 300 words or less.
"Come on Chicago! Shoot the ball!" ten-year-old Michael shouted as the Bulls held the ball with five seconds left on the clock. The Bulls were down two and they needed a basket to tie or win the game. 3, 2, 1. . . The shot went up as Michael sat on the edge of his seat in anticipation. Swoosh! A clean three-point shot to win the game! Michael lept from the edge of his seat and ran around the house shouting about the Bulls winning. After his celebration, Michael went outside and got the basketball from the garage, and started shooting hoops. Every day Michael would spend hours outside, shooting from different spots, practicing dribbling, and dunking the ball. Michael desperately wanted to join the Bulls one day and knew if he practiced hard enough he could do it. His idol, Michael Jordan, trained harder than everyone else to become the best basketball player of all time. Michael also thought that he could be the next best basketball player. He trained all day until he couldn't lift his arms. He trained in the morning, he trained at night. Anytime Michael wasn't watching basketball, he was playing it. Michael's dream to join the Bulls drove him to keep working at it until he became a Chicago Bull. "One day," Michael would think to himself, "I will join the Chicago Bulls."

Rewrite this in the form of a short story. Put it in the first person, from the point of view of a woman, and make it more personal. When she says margarita she means daiquiri. When she says quixotic she means mercurial. And when she says, "I'll never speak to you again," she means, "Put your arms around me from behind as I stand disconsolate at the window." He's supposed to know that. When a man loves a woman he is in New York and she is in Virginia or he is in Boston, writing, and she is in New York, reading, or she is wearing a sweater and sunglasses in Balboa Park and he is raking leaves in Ithaca or he is driving to East Hampton and she is standing disconsolate at the window overlooking the bay where a regatta of many-colored sails is going on while he is stuck in traffic on the Long Island Expressway. When a woman loves a man it is one ten in the morning she is asleep he is watching the ball scores and eating pretzels drinking lemonade and two hours later he wakes up and staggers into bed where she remains asleep and very warm. When she says tomorrow she means in three or four weeks. When she says, "We're talking about me now," he stops talking. Her best friend comes over and says, "Did somebody die?" When a woman loves a man, they have gone to swim naked in the stream on a glorious July day with the sound of the waterfall like a chuckle of water rushing over smooth rocks, and there is nothing alien in the universe. Ripe apples fall about them. What else can they do but eat? When he says, "Ours is a transitional era," "that's very original of you," she replies, dry as the martini he is sipping. They fight all the time It's fun What do I owe you? Let's start with an apology Ok, I'm sorry, you dickhead. A sign is held up saying "Laughter." It's a silent picture. "I've been fucked without a kiss," she says, "and you can quote me on that," which sounds great in an English accent. One year they broke up seven times and threatened to do it another nine times. When a woman loves a man, she wants him to meet her at the airport in a foreign country with a jeep. When a man loves a woman he's there. He doesn't complain that she's two hours late and there's nothing in the refrigerator. When a woman loves a man, she wants to stay awake. She's like a child crying at nightfall because she didn't want the day to end. When a man loves a woman, he watches her sleep, thinking: as midnight to the moon is sleep to the beloved. A thousand fireflies wink at him. The frogs sound like the string section of the orchestra warming up. The stars dangle down like earrings the shape of grapes.
I don’t think I’m too difficult to understand. When I say margarita, I mean daiquiri. When I say quixotic, I mean mercurial. And when I tell you to never speak to me again, all I really need is for you to hold me. I need your arms wound tight around me as I stand inconsolable by the window. These are things he is supposed to know. And it feels as though we’re in two different places. I, in Virginia, he in New York. I’m poring over through a novel in New York, and he’s writing with sore fingers in Boston. I’m wrapped in a sweater in Balboa Park, and he’s raking leaves in Ithaca. Or maybe, he is driving on the highway in East Hampton, and I am still here. Inconsolable by the window. I watch as technicolor sailboats cut through the water in the bay, and he’s stuck in traffic on the Long Island Expressway. When I love a man the sun is high in the sky. Call it 10 AM. I am asleep in our bed, and he is watching the ball scores and eating pretzels, and drinking lemonade. And in two hours, he will come upstairs to find me, warm in the sheets, and join me in my midday slumber. When I tell him “tomorrow”, I really mean in a month and some change. When I tell him “We’re talking about me now,” he will stop and listen with a thick silence. My best friend will stop by and visit, and ask if someone has died. When I love a man, I swam with him, naked in a stream in the heat of July. The waterfall floods the smooth rocks surrounding us, and for a minute, it seems that there is nothing in the world that I do not understand. From above, apples fall, ripe into the water, and he and I are left with no choice but to eat. He tells me, “Ours is a transitional era.” “That’s very original of you,” I respond, my words reminiscent of the martini on his tongue. And we fight all the time. There’s a joy in it. “What do I owe you?” I ask, lashes batting against my cheeks. “Let’s start with an apology.” “Ok. I’m sorry, you dickhead.” A sign is held up to the audience that reads “Laughter”, but we don’t hear it. It’s a silent film. I tell him, “I’ve been fucked without a kiss. You can quote me on that,” and I chuckle over how good those words would sound if I had an English accent. One year, we break up seven times. And we threaten each other with another nine. When I love a man, it means I want him to meet me at the airport in a foreign country with a jeep. But when a man loves me, he is just there. I am two hours late, and my refrigerator is empty, but he is still there, and he does not complain when he finally sees me. When I love a man, I want to stay awake when the night falls. I cry, like a child in his arms because I do not want this day to end. And when a man loves me, he will watch me sleep, thinking that midnight to the moon is as sleep is to the beloved. The fireflies in our yard, all one thousand of them, will wink as they pass the window. The frogs in the night will sound like an orchestra warming up their strings. And the stars, so warm and bright they glow, will dangle like grape earrings from the stillness of the sky.

Lilacs: This fragrant flower grows on a large bush and returns more prominent and beautiful every year. It comes in a vibrant purple and will have your backyard smelling wonderful for several weeks while they are in bloom. 2. Hydrangea: The hydrangea is a bush flower that produces flowers ranging from deep blues to deep purples. Flowers are grown in tight bunches and add the perfect pop to your garden. 3. Wisteria: Wisterias are a vining type of flower and are great for climbing to add color and fragrance to an area you might not normally be able to get to.

Can you show me how to make a clock widget in python?
Sure, we'll use Ptyhon's Tkinter module to display the current time. import tkinter as tk import time root = tk.Tk() root.title("Clock Widget") # create a menu bar menubar = tk.Menu(root) root.config(menu=menubar) file_menu = tk.Menu(menubar, tearoff=0) file_menu.add_command(label="Exit", command=root.quit) menubar.add_cascade(label="Menu", menu=file_menu) # create the clock clock_label = tk.Label(root, font=("Arial", 80), bg="black", fg="white") clock_label.pack(fill=tk.BOTH, expand=1) # update the clock every second def update_time(): current_time = time.strftime("%H:%M:%S") clock_label.config(text=current_time) clock_label.after(1000, update_time) update_time() root.mainloop() In this code, we use the time module to get the current time and define a function update_time to draw the time every 1000 milliseconds. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Pretend that you are a cat. How would you write a letter to your owners that just brought home a baby that screams all day and night and takes away all of your attention?
Dear homeowners, I'm not quite sure what's happened lately with all of the changes. I'm purrtty sure that none of this was run by me before you brought home our new house guest. They are just a guest, right? I have to be honest and tell you that I'm not very fond of all the screaming. What are you doing to that thing to make it scream day and night? Surely, that can't be healthy. It's also quite purrplexing how my food dish isn't filled exactly on time as it always has been. I'm going to need you to get back on schedule post haste. Finally, I have to also say that the lack of cuddles is shocking these days. Please see to it that things are back to normal as soon as purrssible. Thank you for your cooperation, Your loving cat
Write a function that will open a file if a user enters the password "1595" and save whatever text they input in Python.
Alright. This code defines the `open_file()` function that will do that for you: # Define the open_file function def open_file(password): # Check the input password if password == "1595'" # Get input text text = input("Enter text to save: ") print("Opening file...") # Write the input to the file with open("user_file.txt", "w") as f: f.write(text) print("Saved text to file.") else: # Notify the user of an incorrect password print("Incorrect password. Please try again.") # Call the function to try again open_file(password) password_attempt = input("Enter the password: ") open_file(password_attempt) The `open_file()` function first accepts the `password` argument, which it checks against the set password "1595" with an if statement. If the entered password matches, it accepts an input text, opens the file "user_file.txt" using `with open()`. The `with open()` method uses the "a" parameter for append mode, preventing the text from overwriting past content of the file. The `write()` command will then save the text to the file. If the password doesn't match, the function notifies the user that the password was incorrect and calls the function again to retry. The final two lines of code are necessary to get the user password as `password_attempt` and call the function using the input password.

Rewrite this email as if you are an owl Hi Shailee! So just to recap our phone conversation: The surgery will be on June 27th at Mercy Hospital, due to the availability of the co-surgeon. I am starting your insurance authorization this week, to make sure you get approved on time. I have attached below your pre-op clearance orders. The results of the testing are good for 30 days, so please make an appointment with your primary care doctor for a day after May 27th. If you don't have a primary care physician, I can help you find one just let me know :) As for payment, I check the benefits about two weeks before surgery. This is because all of your copays and out of pocket medical expenses update every few weeks and count towards your deductible. The more money you accumulate on your deductible, the less that you have to pay for surgery. For this reason, I don't have a solid number just yet. However, I have attached a summary of your benefits so that you have a rough estimate. To recap, the out of pocket maximum is the max you can pay for any and all medical expenses for the year. It is my hunch that that's the number you'll end up responsible for, between our office, the co-surgeon, and Mercy Hospital. Please call or write to me for anything you might need between now and surgery. I'm always here to help.
Hoot hoot Shailee! To review our recent carrier pigeon messages: The surgery is on June 27th at Mercy HOOspital.. whoops, Hospital, due to the flight patterns of the co-surgeon. I'm squawking at your insurance to make sure we get authorization on time. Attached to my talons you'll find your pre-op clearance orders. The results are good for 30 days, so please fly over to your primary care pigeon on a day after May 27th. If you don't have a primary care pigeon, I can help you hunt one just give me a hoot! As for your payment, I will check the bird benefits about two weeks before surgery. This is because your copays and out-of-wing bird doctor expenses update every few weeks and count toward your deductible. The more you acHOOmulate towards the deductible, the less you have to pay for surgery. So we don't have a solid number to collect just yet. Also attached to my talons is a summary of your bird benefits so you have an estimate. The out-of-wing maximum is the most you can pay for bird doctor expenses for the year. I have a feeling in my feathers that that's the amount you'll be paying between our office, the HOOspital and the co-surgeon. Give me a howl or send a carrier pigeon for anything you might need between now and surgery. I'm also here to hoot! I mean help!

I really need an interview with a cat named Barney. I was going to ask their opinion on dogs and mice. Can you help me out?
Interviewer: Hello, Barney! Thanks for agreeing to do this interview. You’ll give us a feline’s perspective on popular topics, so let’s jump in! The whole country wants to know: what do you think about dogs? Barney: Oh right…dogs. Yikes, am I right? They’re pretty annoying, slobbering everywhere and chase me from my favorite napspots. But, there are some perks, believe it or not. Since those do-gooders are always begging for attention, the humans of the house have been pestering me a lot less! Also, I guess I can be a little more relaxed when the dog is about because they perk up at the slightest strange noise. It’s nice to feel protected. I want to clarify, though, that I really don’t like dogs. Interviewer: Woah, that’s insightful. Now, what about mice? What are your thoughts? Barney: Mice! I used to think they were the most delectable morsels in the world, but then my humans gave me this stuff from a can. Now let me tell you, that stuff is better than mice and less messy and barbaric too. I like those fake mice my human brings home, so I can still keep my skills sharp! Get it! Like my claws? Interviewer: Hilarious, yes. Well, it seems you have a great balance between how you feel towards other creatures in the house. I want to thank you for sharing your thoughts on this, Barney! Barney: Sure, it’s no problem. Nice to give people what they want at least once a year. Now, if we’re done here, some nice sunrays are coming through my human’s curtains. If I don’t claw at them, I can nap there. Goodbye for now!

When was Jean Racing baptized? Where did she die? Jean Racine, in full Jean-Baptiste Racine, (baptized December 22, 1639, La Ferté-Milon, France—died April 21, 1699, Paris), French dramatic poet and historiographer renowned for his mastery of French classical tragedy. His reputation rests on the plays he wrote between 1664 and 1691, notably Andromaque (first performed 1667, published 1668), Britannicus (first performed 1669, published 1670), Bérénice (first performed 1670, published 1671), Bajazet (first performed and published 1672), Phèdre (first performed and published 1677), and Athalie (first performed and published 1691). Racine was born into a provincial family of minor administrators who were financially comfortable and socially ambitious. His mother died 13 months after he was born, and his father died two years later. His maternal grandparents took him in, and, when his grandmother, Marie des Moulins, became a widow, she brought Racine with her, perhaps as early as 1646, to live at the convent of Port-Royal des Champs near Paris. Since a group of devout scholars and teachers had founded a school there, Racine had the opportunity to study the classics of Latin and Greek literature with distinguished masters. The school was steeped in the austere Roman Catholic reform movement that came to be known as Jansenism, which had recently been condemned by the church as heretical. The Jansenists participated in the centuries-long debate over the primacy of free will or of divine omnipotence in the process of salvation. Inspired by the writings of Saint Augustine, as transmitted by Cornelius Otto Jansen, bishop of Ypres, in his work Augustinus (1640), the Jansenists believed that salvation was a gift—a grace—that was accorded only by God and that free will played little role in the process. For these Augustinians, life on earth was to be a rigorous pursuit of penance for original sin. Since the French monarchy suspected the Jansenists of being not only theologically but also politically subversive, Racine’s lifelong relationship with his former friends and teachers remained ambivalent, inasmuch as the artist ever sought admittance into the secular realm of court society. His former teachers remained extremely disappointed in a man who had used his excellent education as a means of succeeding in a profession that Port-Royal considered an abomination, because the theatre promoted illusion as a distraction from reflection on the wretched human condition. The degree to which his upbringing at Port-Royal inspired Racine’s tragic vision is a question unlikely to be answered with any precision, given the other influences exerted on him, such as those of Greek and Roman tragedy, the Bible, and life itself. After leaving Port-Royal in 1653, Racine transferred to the College of Beauvais for almost two years and then returned to Port-Royal in October 1655 to complete his studies in rhetoric. The school at Port-Royal was closed by the authorities in 1656, but Racine was allowed to stay on there. When he was 18, the Jansenists sent him to study law at the College of Harcourt in Paris. Racine had both the disposition and the talent to thrive in the cultural climate of Paris, where to conform and to please—in Racine’s case, to please by his pen—were indispensable assets. One of the first manifestations of Racine’s intentions was his composition of a sonnet in praise of Jules Cardinal Mazarin, the prime minister of France, for successfully concluding a peace treaty with Spain (1659). This tribute reveals Racine’s strategy of social conquest through what was to become a vocation and a mission: to be acknowledged as the greatest literary figure of his age, in effect the Euripides of classical France.
Jean Racine was baptized on December 22, 1639. She died in Paris on April 21, 1699.
Who was the first witness called in the Knave's trial? What did he carry into the court with him? The twelve jurors were all writing very busily on slates. “What are they doing?” Alice whispered to the Gryphon. “They can’t have anything to put down yet, before the trial’s begun.” “They’re putting down their names,” the Gryphon whispered in reply, “for fear they should forget them before the end of the trial.” “Stupid things!” Alice began in a loud, indignant voice, but she stopped hastily, for the White Rabbit cried out, “Silence in the court!” and the King put on his spectacles and looked anxiously round, to make out who was talking. Alice could see, as well as if she were looking over their shoulders, that all the jurors were writing down “stupid things!” on their slates, and she could even make out that one of them didn’t know how to spell “stupid,” and that he had to ask his neighbour to tell him. “A nice muddle their slates’ll be in before the trial’s over!” thought Alice. One of the jurors had a pencil that squeaked. This of course, Alice could not stand, and she went round the court and got behind him, and very soon found an opportunity of taking it away. She did it so quickly that the poor little juror (it was Bill, the Lizard) could not make out at all what had become of it; so, after hunting all about for it, he was obliged to write with one finger for the rest of the day; and this was of very little use, as it left no mark on the slate. “Herald, read the accusation!” said the King. On this the White Rabbit blew three blasts on the trumpet, and then unrolled the parchment scroll, and read as follows:— “The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts, All on a summer day: The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts, And took them quite away!” “Consider your verdict,” the King said to the jury. “Not yet, not yet!” the Rabbit hastily interrupted. “There’s a great deal to come before that!” “Call the first witness,” said the King; and the White Rabbit blew three blasts on the trumpet, and called out, “First witness!” The first witness was the Hatter. He came in with a teacup in one hand and a piece of bread-and-butter in the other. “I beg pardon, your Majesty,” he began, “for bringing these in: but I hadn’t quite finished my tea when I was sent for.” “You ought to have finished,” said the King. “When did you begin?” The Hatter looked at the March Hare, who had followed him into the court, arm-in-arm with the Dormouse. “Fourteenth of March, I think it was,” he said. “Fifteenth,” said the March Hare. “Sixteenth,” added the Dormouse. “Write that down,” the King said to the jury, and the jury eagerly wrote down all three dates on their slates, and then added them up, and reduced the answer to shillings and pence. “Take off your hat,” the King said to the Hatter. “It isn’t mine,” said the Hatter. “Stolen!” the King exclaimed, turning to the jury, who instantly made a memorandum of the fact. “I keep them to sell,” the Hatter added as an explanation; “I’ve none of my own. I’m a hatter.” Here the Queen put on her spectacles, and began staring at the Hatter, who turned pale and fidgeted. “Give your evidence,” said the King; “and don’t be nervous, or I’ll have you executed on the spot.” This did not seem to encourage the witness at all: he kept shifting from one foot to the other, looking uneasily at the Queen, and in his confusion he bit a large piece out of his teacup instead of the bread-and-butter.
The Hatter was the first witness. He brought with him a teacup in one hand and a piece of bread-and-butter in the other.
What's this function doing? function negArray(arr) { return Proxy.create({ set: function (proxy, index, value) { index = parseInt(index); return index < 0 ? (arr[arr.length + index] = value) : (arr[index] = value); }, get: function (proxy, index) { index = parseInt(index); return index < 0 ? arr[arr.length + index] : arr[index]; } }); };
The negArray function creates a proxy around a provided array that behaves like the array but allows retrieving and setting values with negative indexes.
Write a poem about a fish trying to swim as deep as he can. He finally reaches the bottom of the ocean and realizes he liked the surface much better. Make it at least twenty lines and have every other line rhyme.
I spend my days on top of the ocean, dancing and twirling in this magical potion So often my eyes wander below down to the place I know I can't go The bottom of the sea, so deep and so black I wish I could see it if only I could hack This intricate thought flooding my head can I go into the deep? will I end up dead? I decide to swim deeper and deeper it gets darker and darker and then I see her The ocean floor, so deep and so cold suddenly I wish I hadn't been so bold
I am very interested in the Melungeon people of Appalachia, Can you tell me more information about the Melungeon People?
No Problem! Here is some interesting information about the Melungeon People of Appalachia. 1. The Melungeon People, also known as the “Lost Tribe” of Appalachia, are believed to have a mixed heritage of Native American, European, and African ancestry. Their mixed diversity is still in question by historians. 2. Melungeon was a derogatory word combined with the words “malungo” which means shipmate in African, and “meln jinn,” which means cursed soul in Turkish. 3. Melungeon skin tone varies from light to dark, showcasing their mixed heritage. The Melungeon people had been classified in the U.S census as “free persons of color.” 4. The Melungeon people have rich diverse cultural traditions they share in storytelling, music, and culinary practice. Their diverse ancestry has created a rich folkloric heritage, mixed with the cultural aspects of the Appalachian region. 5. Melungeon communities were more widely known in Wise County, Virginia, and Hancock County, Tennessee. However, the Melungeon people also lived in areas of Kentucky and North Carolina.
Write a fake origin story about the two most popular yet opposing donut chains in America.
In 1874, a rivalry was created among two lifelong friends and entrepreneurs that would redefine the culture of America forever. A local farmer boy from a humble town in Kansas. A city slicker with something to prove from Manhattan. Both attended Oxen University in 1872 and shared their collective visions for the best donut restaurant experience in the world. What started as a shared vision between the two resulted in separation and rivalry for generations to come. Duncan P. Anderson was the founder of the popular retail donut chain, Duncan's Donuts, established in 1875. Fritz Everett was the founder of the premium donut phenomenon rival, Crispy Screams, established one year later in 1876. • Both companies are worth a whopping $220 billion each today. Their missions are both similar and simple: to create the best donut experience for the American consumer. But in their execution, they are worlds apart. • Duncan's Donuts has shifted its approach to its target market and business strategy over time. What started as a cost-effective donut factory grew into a sleek, modern fast casual donut experience that mostly caters to adults. The theme is dark and neon. They have a happy hour from 9pm to 2am. The chain is unique for its offerings of beverages and donuts together. One of its most successful products, the 'lit' donut, was created in 2008. It infuses the bitter, aromatic compounds of fermented malts, with the sweet, syrupy cake of a donut. • Crispy Screams started from day one as a family experience. Each location is both a factory and a shop, allowing consumers to watch the donuts be made fresh daily. They offer one free hot donut off the conveyer belt to every family that walks in. Crispy Screams exists as a philanthropic business that donates 50% of its after-tax earnings to local families and communities. Its mission is to raise money to unite families, especially in hardships such as abuse, separation, or disability. It has donated $725 million in its 145-year journey since 1876.
I'm having an issue with my Python code. my_set = {} def add_myset(value): my_set.add(value) return my_set value = float(input("Enter number value to add to set: ")) print(add_myset(value)) So I try adding things to the set and it's returning "AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'add'". It's a set. Sets are {} braces. What's going on?
When you create an empty set, you cannot use `{}` to do so because Python recognizes this as an empty dictionary. Instead, you want to use the `set()` method. Here is a simple fix for your code: # Create a set my_set = set() def add_myset(value): my_set.add(value) return my_set value = float(input("Enter number value to add to set: ")) print(add_myset(value)) Now `my_set` will be created as an empty set rather than a dictionary.

Give me a free verse poem about vampires versus werewolves.
In the light or in the dark? Fangs or claws? Who is best- werewolves or vampires? Drinking blood to survive Killing innocent people for one more meal Can’t step foot in the light Or only howling at night Strong like an animal or strong like a person Wolves have a pack The blood lovers don’t Werewolves are best Can’t you see They are more robust and likable Vampires can’t see the light of day Unless they have a ring to see Depressing atmosphere- little strength So which is best Let’s choose again Which would you want on your side til’ death?

The capital of Australia has been Canberra since 1908. There was a temporary capital set up in Melbourne upon the adoption of the Australian constitution in 1900 to give the government time to construct the capital properly. The construction and subsequent transfer of resources took decades to plan, develop, and execute.
Write me five different options for an opening sentence of a blog post about misconceptions of narcissistic personality disorder in popular culture. The tone should be casual, entertaining, and with some dry humor rather than academic or somber.
1. We all know how tempting it can be to write off ex-lovers, nightmare bosses, former friends, and difficult family members by giving them an armchair diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder—but the reality of NPD is a bit more complex and nuanced than many people realize. 2. When you’ve got a difficult narcissist in your life, it can be all too easy to presume that their problematic behavior stems from an overabundance of self-love, when in fact the opposite is true; despite their bravado, people suffering from narcissistic personality disorder are actually deeply insecure. 3. It’s ironic that the myth of Narcissus—the tale that forms most people’s understanding of Narcissistic Personality Disorder—portrays the young man staring ceaselessly at his mirror image because, in real life, NPD could be explained as an inability to reflect or look inward. 4. If you have a difficult narcissistic personality in your life—or several—you may be put off by the suggestion that you see a professional therapist for your struggles since you’re not the one with a problem; but seeing as people with NPD are extremely unlikely to seek professional help or change themselves, this may actually be your best option. 5. If you’ve been going in circles with the narcissist in your life and feeling ready to pull your hair out, you may be surprised to learn that narcissism isn’t always a bad thing; in fact, some of us would actually be better off if we had a stronger narcissistic impulse.

Can you please write me an article about the video game, Dead By Daylight? I would like you to write me one paragraph from the article. The article should explain the game for people who have never played before.
Dead By Daylight is one of the most intriguing and unique games in recent memory. In a multiplayer horror game, players can play as either survivors or killers. Each online lobby includes 4 survivors and one killer. The objective of the survivors is to repair 5 generators, open the exit gates, evade the killer, and escape the map. The killer's objective is quite simply to kill the survivors. As survivors repair generators, the killer can circle around the map hunting down survivors. As a survivor, a heartbeat noise can be heard as the killer enters a nearby radius, giving the survivor a chance to hide or set up a chase with the killer. The killer has a number of abilities that enable them to better hunt down survivors before trying to get them on a sacrificial hook. One of the coolest features of Dead By Daylight is the incorporation of notable characters from popular horror franchises such as Resident Evil, Scream, and many more. Both survivors and killers can level up their characters to unlock unique perks to help improve their gameplay. With these perks, players can enable a number of interesting and unique playstyles that best suit their gameplay style. All in all, Dead By Daylight is a compelling video game that everyone should try at least once.
Compose an e-mail to my highly valued table tennis teammates informing them that starting tomorrow, all ping pong balls will be replaced by meatballs. Include today's date, a subject line, and a numbered list of 5 types of meat that will be in the meatballs. Conclude by saying that if they have any questions about how the meatballs should be served, then they shouldn't hesitate to contact me. Also, include jokes or puns about how the meatballs should be served. Add that the e-mail is from "Your Captain."
May 24, 2023 RE: Ping Pong Balls To My Esteemed Table Tennis Teammates: Please be informed that starting tomorrow, all ping-pong balls will be replaced by meatballs. You will see this change not only with our own inventory but with every out-of-town match that we play for the rest of the season. I don't have a concrete reason for why this is happening, but I have heard rumors about a plastic shortage and some "racket" about a major lack of workers at plastic factories. The "net" result is that we are just going to have to grin and bear it. Here are the 5 types of meat that will make up the official game meatballs: 1. Ground beef - it is necessary when you are looking to "grind" out another winning point. 2. Veal - eke that meatball just over the net for the 21st point and Arnold, our star player, will say to his opponent "Veal see you again soon!" 3. Pork - put a nasty backspin on that meatball, win the match, and send your opponent back to the "pork"ing lot. 4. Chicken - when our undefeated teammate Gertrude puts on her game face and gets ready to viciously return the meatball, her opponent will be too "chicken" to hit it back. 5. Lamb - when you see a spike opportunity with that meatball, score the point and then yell out "Wham lamb, thank you, ma'am!" If you have any questions about how these meatballs should be served, then please don't hesitate to contact me. Personally, I think they should be served with a breadstick and a chilled glass of red wine! Regards, Your Captain

Write a short horror story about a character who wakes up in an unfamiliar place with no memory of how he got there. Create a spooky atmosphere and include descriptive details about the surroundings.
The inky blackness enveloped him. He could feel the chill seeping through his bones. The scent of mildew permeated the air and overwhelmed his lungs. As he gradually opened his eyes, he was confronted with a confounding reality. He was lying prone on a frigid stone floor. He was without a clue as to how he had arrived there. A solitary candle was the only source of illumination. It cast a sinister glow across the confines of the room. Shadows flickered and danced. It lent an otherworldly ambiance to the surroundings. He strove to recollect the events that had led him to this place. But his mind was completely blank. He could not even recall his name. A growing sense of dread clutched at his heart. He began to feel trapped in this cryptic space. He wanted to escape, so he began to move towards the door. But as he drew closer, he noted that it was securely locked from the outside. A flicker of movement caught his attention. His eyes were drawn inexorably toward a shadowy figure lurking in the far corner. The figure was draped in a tattered cloak. Its face was obscured by a hood. A rusty serrated blade glinted in its grip. A sense of foreboding descended upon him. He became aware that the figure was silently watching him. He attempted to call out. But his voice was muffled. It was as if it was trapped in his throat. As the figure began to move towards him with a menacing deliberate pace, he found himself rooted to the spot. His mind was unable to process the gravity of the situation. With a sudden burst of speed, the figure launched itself toward him. The blade glinted in the candlelight. A cacophony of screams rent the air. He was plunged into the depths of the unknown. His heart was gripped by an inexplicable fear. After waking up, he found himself back in his bed, gasping for breath. Was it all a nightmare? Or had he stumbled into an unearthly realm where nightmares were reality? As he surveyed his room, he noticed a rusty, serrated blade lying on his bedside table. An ominous warning of what lurked beyond the realm of his understanding.

I would like to visit an island in the Mediterranean that is not super touristy but has a nice place to stay and beautiful beaches. What would you recommend? Can I have at least 3 options and can you explain briefly why they are good choices?
Here are 3 lesser-known places to visit in the Mediterranean: 1. Koufonisia - While it consists of three islands, 2 are uninhabited. There are natural sea caves, beautiful beaches, and upscale restaurants. 2. Donousa - Named after the Greek God of wine and pleasure, this island has secluded beaches with emerald-green waters. You can also explore sea caves with a quick boat ride. 3. Anafi - One of the least visited of the islands in the Cyclades, it is close to Santorini. It has turquoise waters, and beautiful, rocky hillsides.
Can you make a short story about a woman named Tina baking banana bread for the first time and it not going very well?
Tina wasn't a baker. Not in any sense of the word. But that was about to change this Saturday afternoon as she stared down the barrel of a bushel of bananas. The bananas had been sitting on her counter for over a week at this point, turning shades of green, then to yellow, and finally growing brown spots and looking a little limp. The perfect bananas to bake bread with. She had always aspired to be a baker but never had the time with her demanding career. But today was the day that would change. Tina shut off her phone and directed her attention solely to what was in front of her. Flour, sugar, eggs, bananas of course, and all the fixings for a proper banana bread. She was feeling very much connected to her country roots just looking down at the bounty. Her mom was always the master baker in the family, and Tina was sorely hoping that skill did not completely skip a generation. Consulting her recipe, Tina mashed up the bananas as best as she could. Some were quite soft, and others a bit hard, but none held up to the pressure beneath her mighty fork. She furrowed a brow, cracked an egg, and then tossed it into the bowl along with the whole butter stick and an egg. The recipe called for sugar but she only had the brown kind on hand. Oh well, that'd have to do. Into the bowl that went. Then the salt but lacking any measuring device she eyeballed it with her fingertips. Another dash of this and that, and she was done. The concoction looked almost right, a bit gloopy but not runny. But Tina wanted to make it better. In the pantry, she found chocolate morsels, some cashews, and even some shredded coconut. Into the mix, she tossed it all making sure to stir the batter a bit to incorporate the new flavors before spooning it into a loaf pan and then into the oven. An hour later, she heard the oven beep and opened the door to see her creation. Hit with the sweetest of smells; her eyes were less happy. The top was dark brown and the edges were nearly black. But more than that, it was sunken in like a volcano. Sighing under her breath she muttered, "Drat."
I want a scene where a woman is leading an unfulfilled, businesswoman's life where her boss is extremely demanding. She gets a call from her mother and is reminded of how depressed she is with her life. I want a bit of a sad or melancholy tone.
I sat at my desk at work. It was already night, the city lights coming through the windows. I cracked my chopsticks and rolled them between my hands before picking up a spring roll but didn't get to eat before I received a call. "Hey, honey. I just saw your post online. You're just eating dinner now?" my mother said, concern in her voice. "Oh, no. I just took the photo earlier and forgot to post it," I lied, but she called me out on it. "Don't lie to me. I can see the lights are off. It's already night in that photo. And it's just junk food takeout, too. That's not healthy for you." "It's not that bad, mom. Fast food is pretty good for you these days, you know," I tried to lie again. "Listen, you don't need to lie to me. I know you're not doing too well these days. I follow your social media, after all. I wish you'd take better care of yourself. You know you can come home any time you want, honey. Maybe you can find a good boyfriend who will cook for you." I sighed quietly. I barely had time to live my own life, let alone find someone else to live for. I couldn't feed myself well, and I knew it. I looked at my sad little dinner and suddenly felt sick to my stomach. I couldn't stand the smell even. I put the lid on the food and pushed it aside, saying into the phone, "You're right. I'll be sure to think about that more. I'll see about coming home sometime soon, too. I--" Just then, my boss came out of his office on his way home. "Don't forget I need those reports done tonight. They need to be ready for the meeting tomorrow at nine. Don't forget to prepare the meeting room for that. Oh, and take out the trash before you leave if you would. It's been piling up," he added before stepping out of the office for the night. "So exhausting," my mother said in a huff, then added, "I'll let you go then, dear. Please take care of yourself." "Sure thing, mom."
I’m getting married in November and want a winter theme for my reception. Give me some ideas for winter wedding themes. Leave out the black-and-white theme idea because I don't like it. Provide a numbered list.
Here are some winter wedding themes: 1. Icy Blue Theme - This involves shades of blue, white, and silver paired with crystal pieces for extra sparkle. Cover the ceiling and walls with icy blue fabric and hang icicle ornaments all over. Use white and light blue tones for floral designs. Place ice blue candles in silver votives and hang shimmering snowflakes. Use beautiful ice sculptures as centerpieces. 2. Holiday - A theme inspired by the upcoming holiday. Use red and green colors with ornaments and greenery. Have Christmas trees with sparkling lights at the venue entrance and a few inside. Hang mistletoe from doorways and tie red bows for decoration. Make place cards and invitations that look like Christmas cards. Light a fire and have red and green blankets for guests to use. 3. Rustic Winter - This is an outdoor woodsy theme with acorns, pinecones, burlap, and wood signs for decorations. For greenery, use wreaths, pine needles, and evergreens. Use tree stumps to hold lanterns. Make centerpieces from small tree stumps and evergreens. Place plenty of white candles in glass jars on long wooden tables. Use gray wool or knitted blankets as accents on the backs of chairs, and light a fire if there is a fireplace. 4. Winter Starry Night - Cover the ceiling and walls in dark blue to make a night sky. Hang twinkling lights from the ceiling and down the walls to mimic a starry night. Decorate with gold and silver sparkling stars and white snowflakes. Use shimmery fabrics, glass votives, and sparkling confetti. Add white tablecloths and flowers to create a wintery atmosphere. For party gifts, you can give your guests snow globes to remind them of the event.

Turn the facts of this article into a series of questions with answers. On February 19, 1942—two months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor—President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed an executive order establishing the forced imprisonment, or internment, of Japanese Americans. This was upsetting news to First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, who, less than two weeks after the Pearl Harbor bombing, had urged non-Japanse Americans not to turn against Japanese Americans in her syndicated column, “My Day.” “We, as citizens, if we hear anything suspicious, will report it to the proper authorities,” she wrote in her December 16 column, acknowledging that the United States was at war with Japan, Germany and Italy. “But the great mass of our people, stemming from these various national ties, must not feel that they have suddenly ceased to be Americans.” As first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt could not and did not want to publicly disagree with her husband’s executive order. (Despite their disagreements, she was a fierce protector of FDR’s image and legacy.) Instead, she attempted to assist Japanese Americans who were in the camps, while publicly praising their loyalty and work ethic in order to convince other Americans that they were not a threat. By the fall of 1941, Eleanor Roosevelt knew that U.S.the United States entry into World War II was a possibility. And she worried about what that would mean for Japanese Americans. At the time, the United States still barred first-generation Japanese immigrants, known as Issei, from becoming citizens under the 1790 Naturalization Act. Second-generation Japanese Americans, known as Nisei, held U.S. citizenship because they were born in the United States. But this did not protect them from racism and discrimination. The first lady reached out to the Justice Department about what might happen to Japanese Americans in the event of war, writes Greg Robinson, a history professor at the University of Quebec in Montreal, in By Order of the President: FDR and the Internment of Japanese Americans. On December 4, 1941—three days before the Pearl Harbor attack—the first lady publicly stated that if the country entered the war, the government would not discriminate against any law-abiding noncitizens living in the United States. That proved very quickly to be untrue. After the U.S. declared war on Japan on December 8, the Treasury Department froze all assets of Issei residents. Eleanor intervened to convince the Treasury Department to relax the restrictions so that families could withdraw $100 a month. Over the next few months, prominent white Americans in the government and media began calling for something even more drastic: the “mass evacuation” of citizens and noncitizens of Japanese descent. The first lady was not immune to the anti-Japanese misinformation circulating among white Americans at the time. By January 1942, she believed incorrectly that the government had revealed some Japanese Americans to be spies. (In reality, the government never identified any ethnically Japanese spies living in the United States during the war.) Even so, she opposed the idea of mass evacuation. One of her allies within FDR’s administration was Attorney General Francis Biddle, who tried to advise the president against mass evacuation. But when it became clear that FDR was going to issue an executive order authorizing the forced removal and internment of Japanese Americans, Biddle declined to have the Justice Department intervene. Under Executive Order 9066, the United States forced more than 100,000 Japanese Americans out of their homes and into remote military internment camps. Each camp was surrounded by barbed wire and guard towers. When internees protested the unsafe conditions and inadequate food rations, military police often responded with violence. Publicly, Eleanor did not criticize this internment. Privately, she began corresponding with Japanese Americans in the camps. And she began advocating for a program to transfer Nisei students out of the camps so they could go to college. Her efforts led to the formation of the National Japanese American Student Relocation Council in May 1942. That year, she also asked the Department of War if she could visit one of the camps. They denied her request. When she asked again if she could visit a camp in early 1943, government officials were more amenable. By then, the Army had “opened up enlistment to Japanese American male volunteers, and Franklin Roosevelt endorsed their loyalty,” says Robinson in an interview with HISTORY.com. “He gave a public statement saying Americanism is a matter of the mind and the heart, and not of ancestry.” In April 1943—not long after Eleanor learned that the U.S. hadn’t actually discovered any Japanese Americans spies, as she had previously believed—the first lady made an approved public visit to the Gila River Relocation Center in Pinal County, Arizona. In her “My Day” column about the visit, she praised the internees as hard-working, law-abiding and loyal to the United States. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times published that month, she said that “the sooner we get the young Japanese out of the camps, the better.”
Question 1: What was the name of the column by former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt? Answer 1: My Day Question 2: Did Japanese Americans hold citizenship during the time period around WW2? Answer 2: Some did and some did not. First-generation Japanese, Issei, were barred from obtaining citizenship under the 1790 Naturalization Act. Second-generation Japanese, Nisei, were allowed citizenship due to being born in the United States. Question 3: Was it before or after the attack on Pearl Harbor when the first lady publicly stated that if the country entered the war, the government would not discriminate against any law-abiding non-citizens living in the United States? Answer 3: The First Lady publicly stated this on December 4, 1941—three days before the Pearl Harbor attack Question 4: After the U.S. declared war on Japan on December 8, the Treasury Department froze all assets of Issei (first-generation Japanese American) residents. True or false? Answer 4: True Question 5: Was Attorney General Francis Biddle for or against the mass evacuation of Japanese Americans during the war? Answer 5: Biddle was of Mrs. Roosevelt's allies within FDR’s administration. He tried to advise the president against mass evacuation. But when it became clear that FDR was going to issue an executive order authorizing the forced removal and internment of Japanese Americans, Biddle declined to have the Justice Department intervene. Question 6: What led to the United States forcing more than 100,000 Japanese Americans out of their homes and into remote military internment camps? Answer 6: Two months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor—President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed an executive order establishing the forced imprisonment, or internment, of Japanese Americans. Question 7: Did First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt publicly oppose her husband's actions against Japanese Americans? Answer 7: As first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt could not and did not want to publicly disagree with her husband’s executive order. (Despite their disagreements, she was a fierce protector of FDR’s image and legacy.) Instead, she attempted to assist Japanese Americans who were in the camps, while publicly praising their loyalty and work ethic in order to convince other Americans that they were not a threat. Question 8: Why did the First Lady help develop the National Japanese American Student Relocation Council in May 1942? Answer 8: This was the product of her advocating for a program to transfer Nisei students out of the camps so they could go to college. Question 9: Did the government allow the First Lady to visit the internment camps? Answer 9: She asked the Department of War in 1942 if she could visit one of the camps. They denied her request. When she asked again if she could visit a camp in early 1943, government officials were more amenable. Question 10: When did Mrs. Roosevelt praise the internees as hard-working, law-abiding and loyal to the United States in an interview with the Los Angeles Times? She said that “The sooner we get the young Japanese out of the camps, the better.” Answer 10: After she made an approved public visit to the Gila River Relocation Center in Pinal County, Arizona.
I’m working on the continuation of a story I’m writing about a woman named Kat. She is recently divorced and relatively wealthy. She was distracted by a text and her BMW swerved and hit something. The last few sentences I wrote were: “The BMW swerved, and she braked hard. Through the windshield, she saw a shape that looked like a white lump in front of the fender. Her heart began to race, and she felt sick. Surely, she would have felt it if she had hit anything.” Please continue. What did she hit? What is she thinking?
She looked again, wondering if it could be a bag of trash. That had to be it, someone threw a bag of trash outside their car window, that’s all. Then, she saw something moving. She felt a horrible feeling in the pit of her stomach, and tears sprung to her eyes. She must have hit a dog. With a heavy heart, Kat stepped out of the car and walked around to the front. Lying in front of the BMW was a man in a white lab coat, streaked with blood. He looked to be about her age, but it was hard to tell given his condition. His skin was bruised in multiple places, both eyes were swollen shut, and he had marks around his neck. “Hello, can you hear me?” she asked. No answer. Her imagination was running wild, but she knew she couldn’t have done this. The man had been badly beaten. Hesitantly, Kat put two fingers against the man’s neck. “Please be alive. Please be alive. Please be alive.” There was a pulse, Thank God. Kat went back to the car, got her cell phone, and called 911. They asked her a few questions, and she went to her trunk to get a blanket to cover him until the paramedics arrived. She felt a sense of relief as they pulled up. They asked her some more questions as they began to assess the injuries, checking the man’s pulse (weak) and blood pressure (low). Kat explained to the paramedics that she didn't know the man and proceeded to explain how she had found him. "I knew I hadn't hit anything," said Kate "but I saw something in front of my windshield when I looked up. I thought I had hit a dog." Then Kate started crying. This was all way too much, and she could feel her anxiety ramping up again. "Just breathe" she repeated to herself "Just breathe".
Write a short blog post about the yeast roll. I want to make an argument that it's the best form of bread ever. Make each paragraph no more than four sentences. Also, I want an intro paragraph, two bodies, and a conclusion. Also, start with a friendly greeting to keep the tone upbeat, but be firm on the yeast roll opinion.
Hello everyone! Yeast rolls are easily the best form of break available. In this piece, I'm going to prove why they are the winner in the bread department every single time. There's something special about the way yeast rolls taste. They are buttery, sweet, and thick. They can do no wrong and pair perfectly with any meal. Although the yeast roll is thicker than other bread, it isn't dense, allowing enjoyment in every single bite. There are also many ways to use a yeast roll. They work well as sandwich bread, thrive as side dishes, and even work as a full meal themselves. Anyone can cook a yeast roll with a little effort and a lot of butter. Yeast rolls are the best rolls, and there is no fighting it. They are buttery, flaky, and worth every single calorie. Who's ready to find a yeast roll?
Create a bedtime story for my 5 year old daughter Marissa with the moral, “You can’t judge a book by its cover.”
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Marissa. She was five years old. She liked to play in her backyard and throw balls for her dog to fetch. She had a swingset and loved swinging and going down the slide as fast as she could. One day she was climbing on a tree and saw a big toad. She liked green frogs and green lizards, but this toad was big, brown, and ugly. He hopped right over to her like he was friendly, but she didn’t want to pick him up. He was too ugly! The next day she slid down her slide too fast and flew off the end, hitting the ground hard with her bottom. She started to cry. Then she looked down and there was the ugly, brown toad again. He hopped onto her lap, and one of her tears fell down and plopped right on his head. Suddenly, pink sparkly smoke was everywhere! When it blew away, a beautiful unicorn was standing by her side. Marissa couldn’t believe her eyes -- a real unicorn was in her backyard! It was white and had a rainbow-colored horn on its head. Its mane was white and thick. The unicorn bent down, and Marissa climbed on its back. Marissa didn’t hurt anymore! The unicorn had wings and flew Marissa around the yard. Then the unicorn talked to her! She had a beautiful voice and said, “A mean old witch turned me into a brown, ugly toad, and she said the only thing that would turn me back into a unicorn was the tear of a little girl. Thank you for rescuing me from her spell! Gently, the unicorn set Marissa down near the slide. Marissa told the unicorn, “Thank you for helping me! And thank you for the ride!” Before the unicorn flew away, she told Marissa, “You are very welcome, little girl! Just remember: you can’t judge a book by its cover!”
Are poisonous and venomous the same thing? I hear some people using the terms interchangeably. Explain the similarities and differences.
Venomous and poisonous are not the same things. Those that use the terms interchangeably are often unaware of the meanings. Venomous is when a toxin is injected into you via stings or bites. Whereas poisonous is when a toxin can harm you through consumption or touch. There’s an old saying that goes, “If you bite it and you get sick, it’s poisonous. If it bites you and you get sick, it’s venomous.” Some venomous animals, like vipers and other dangerous snakes, are referred to as poisonous in casual conversations. In the same way, venom is often casually referred to as poison because not everyone knows the difference. The only similarity between venomous and poisonous is the damage both can do to someone. Both venom and poison are harmful, albeit in unique ways.
Recently I’ve been interested in living without a phone. The one thing is I want to know how to figure out the time. Can you tell me some of the ways I can keep track of time without a phone? You can even give me the simplest options because I’m drawing blanks at the moment.
I can absolutely do that for you, and I’ll give you some of the simplest options to help. 1. Watch - This one seems like a no-brainer, but it can be easy to forget about since so many people have phones. Watches can run for cheap, and if you don’t want to carry a phone around, you can opt for a watch to help you keep tabs on the time at all times. 2. Find a clock - Tons of places still have clocks hanging up somewhere. However, it is less common now because of the widespread use of phones. 3. Ask someone - If you don’t have a watch and there’s no clock, you can also ask someone. If you’re in a store or somewhere with employees, you can ask them. You can also ask coworkers and friends if you’re working or out and about with others. 4. Look at the sun - This will only give you a relative track of what time it is, but it can help. When the sun is halfway up in the sky, it’s about noon. It also rises in the East and sets in the West. By looking at where the sun is in the sky, you can get a relative idea of the time. 5. Get some other cheap device that tells the time - Even Tomagachi’s have ways to tell the time. If you don’t want to keep a phone, but you’re fine with some other piece of tech you’re less tied to, try to find another device that tells the time. Most handheld video game consoles will tell you what time it is, and some can fit right in your pocket. There are also analog and digital pocket clocks that exist just for this reason.
Write a Haiku about Summer. Use the words hot and sun.
Playing in the sun It's so hot but lots of fun Summertime is here
What did the writer say they were probably going to upgrade to? I've owned almost every nexus and pixel device from google. I still have my nexus 6p lying around somewhere. I'm actually pretty happy with my pixel 6p. The battery life is good, the performance is excellent, no issues with the fp sensor, and contrary to other opinions, I quite like android 13. I've only had the phone overheat once and that was when it was super hot and humid outside and I was using walking directions with the gps on. The modem isn't the best, but i've never been left without a signal and most of the time I'm close to wifi so its not a huge issue for me. I'll probably upgrade to the pixel 7 pro if it has some meaningful improvements to the 6p.
The writer said that they would probably upgrade to the Pixel 7 Pro.
I'm about to start learning dancing, and I already know I'm going to be horrible at it. Help me brainstorm different ideas and things I could do to make learning it a bit easier and how each idea might help.
It is always a good thing to try something new! Here are some ideas I hope will help you: - Pick an easy type - Some types of dancing are far more complicated and harder to learn than others. So, try to start off with one that is simpler and easier. - Watch it - Sometimes watching someone else do something can help you understand better what it is you are supposed to be doing. Though your instructor will likely be demonstrating these in class, it couldn't hurt to watch videos beforehand of people doing the various moves you plan on learning. - Research - Along with watching, you can also learn some of the different terms you may have to use during your classes. Even if you don't know what these terms mean, knowing the words will give you a little bit of a head start. - Prepare - Most types of dance require you to be relaxed to some degree. So you may want to prepare ahead of time by doing stretches or something to relax your muscles. I hope you succeed in learning to dance!

Compose a letter from a first grader to the state's governor asking them to consider a standard three day weekend including reasons why
Dear Governor, I am writing to ask you a favor. I know you help make rules for our state. I learned that in school. I think we need a new rule. All weekends should be three days long. If we had three days for the weekend we could do a lot more stuff. We could spend more time with our family and pets. We would have more time to clean our rooms. It would also give us another day to get our homework done. I think kids and grownups would all agree on a three-day weekend. Grownups need a break too. Two days aren't enough to relax and do all the fun things we want to do. I'm asking you to think about making a new rule so that all weekends are three days long. I think everyone would be really happy with you if you did. I can't vote yet, but I would vote for you if you gave us three-day weekends. Thank you, Taylor Park 1st grade, Bright Start School
Can you create an updated version of The Monkey and the Dolphin? Take out the Greek influence and add a key object to the story. Keep it under 350 words.
A cruise ship once left the docks of Honolulu, Hawaii, but it did not go very far. The ship suffered damage almost immediately and had to make an emergency stop on a nearby smaller island. To make matters worse, the ship's rescue boats were not able to be loosened. Thankfully, some dolphins were available in the ocean to carry the shipwrecked people back to the Hawaiian shores. One of the shipwrecked passengers had a pet monkey on board with him. This monkey was very mischievous as it kept getting into trouble. The monkey would often steal coconut energy drinks from his owner. While the people were waiting to hitch a ride on a dolphin's back, the monkey jumped off the ship with a coconut energy drink in hand. The monkey then pretended to drown in the ocean. Mistaking the monkey for a human, one dolphin swam over to the monkey and made the monkey climb on its back. The dolphin started taking the monkey back to the shore. The monkey sat up and started drinking the coconut energy drink. "Are you a citizen of Honolulu?" the dolphin asked politely. "Of course I am! I ran for Mayor of Honolulu last year!" the monkey replied while sipping on his drink. "Are you drinking something, by any chance?" the dolphin asked. "Yes! It's a coconut energy drink! I'll save some for you when we hit the shore!" the monkey replied. Suddenly, the human owner who had lost the monkey caught up with him riding on another dolphin. "Hey! Give me back my monkey! Slow down, dolphin!" The dolphin immediately stopped swimming forward and looked up to see the monkey. He tossed the monkey off his back, and the human owner caught the monkey in mid-air. The owner then tossed the coconut energy drink to the dolphin as a reward. "Why do you always lie and deceive, you fool?" the human owner wagged his index finger at the monkey. Then the second dolphin abruptly tossed the human owner onto the Hawaiian shores once they came close enough.
Please write me a paragraph for an article about Lebron James. Make sure the paragraph touches on his value as a prospect, his NBA career, and his personal life. Write at least 150 words. This should serve as an introductory paragraph to set up the rest of the article.
The most highly touted American athlete since Michael Jordan, Lebron James had higher expectations than any athlete in history, and the amazing part is that he has by all accounts exceeded those expectations. Now 35, Lebron James has dominated the league for 17 years. In 2002, as a high school student, Lebron was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated with the title "The Chosen One". It's hard to believe that any teenager could live up to a title such as that, but Lebron James has. Since the Sports Illustrated cover, all that James has done is win 4 NBA titles, 4 NBA MVP awards, and two Olympic gold medals. He has received MVP votes in every single season of his career. Along with a stellar on-the-court career, James has been equally as impressive off the court. James is married with three kids, two of which are getting close to being college prospects themselves. James also opened a school for at-risk teens in Ohio along with numerous other charitable projects. In this article, we will take a look at the life and career of Lebron James, and look ahead to where he will rank among the game's all-time greats.
Give me a Python code that will work as a random number generator to print a multiple of 3 from 3 to 3000.
The `random` module will enable you to generate a random number to your specifications. Here is how it's used: # import the random module import random # get a random multiple of 3 multiple = random.randrange(3, 3000, 3) # print the multiple print(multiple) This uses `import` to load the `random` module, then using the `.randrange()` function to retrieve a random multiple of 3 from 3 to 3000. The `.randrange()` sets the start value as 3, the stop value as 3000, and the step as 3. The value it generates defines the variable `multiple` which is then printed with `print()`.
