Can you help me start a story for English class? It just needs to be fictional and about something mysterious that I found.
|
It was a foggy night along the docks, and I wasn’t supposed to be there. Everybody warned me: bad things happen near the docks after the sun sets. I wasn’t great at taking advice. I do my own thing and deal with the consequences. There was a chill in the air. It had been a long day at school, and I just needed to walk it off.
I was walking fast, trying to get my heart rate up, and I stumbled and fell. I hadn’t been watching where I was going. I had been lost in thought looking out at the water. “Stupid!” I thought. My knee hurt, and my right hand was scraped where I tried to catch myself. Quickly, my anger at myself for being careless turned into anger about what had tripped me. I saw a box about the size of a tennis ball. I brushed myself off and walked over to pick it up. The box was heavier than it looked. No wonder it tripped me! It was silver or chrome, very shiny with no markings. I flipped it over, looking for a latch of some kind to open it, but I didn’t see any. When I shook it, I could hear a faint jingling inside. What was this thing? I decided to take it home and look at it in brighter light.

What are 3 scary movies I could watch next Friday the 13th?
|
No problem, Friday the 13th is a classic night to watch horror films. Here are 3 suggestions:
1. Midsommar: A young friend group travels to Sweden for the famous Midsommar festival, but things go south quickly as they realize their hosts are not as peaceful as they seem.
2. Insidious: When their young son falls into a coma, bizarre spirits inhabit a family's home and the father stops at nothing to save his son.
3. The Exorcist: A mother hires two priests to save her possessed daughter.

Can you help me draft an email telling a customer nicely that it’s clear she isn’t happy with anything I’ve offered to do in order to resolve her complaint and that maybe she should shop elsewhere?

In this situation, unfortunately, I feel that we have exhausted all options to resolve this matter amicably.
If there is any other remedy you can suggest that we have not already offered, please let me know, and we can discuss it further. Otherwise, you may find that you are happier doing business with one of our competitors instead.
Sincerely,

We should be thinking about different swimsuit styles for mom's who have not lost all of their baby weight yet. Can you generate a list like this? and write a short description?
|
Sure thing! See the list of bathing suit styles for recent moms who haven't lost all of the baby weight yet:
1. Traditional one-piece - These are modest and tend to have a tummy-tucking appeal.
2 High-waisted two pieces - These are still modest but give moms the freedom of wearing a bikini with still having tummy-tucking options
3. Traditional bikinis - These should be worn by anyone, mom or otherwise, who feels comfortable enough in her own skin. Regardless of weight loss or not.

Write a letter as if you're a doctor from the year 1350 to your patient telling them they are diagnosed with the bubonic plague, on a kindergarten-grade reading level, in exactly 125 words.
|
Dear Patient,
Oh no! You seem to be sick from the illness that is going around our town. We, the local doctors call it by the big words "bubonic plague." This just means that it is found all over a big area and it is making a lot of people sick. In the next few days, you will start feeling very yucky. The things you might feel are a fever, which means your body will feel very hot, a headache, and shivering which we call "chills". Make sure you send someone to see me if these things you will be feeling get bad. We will do what we can to make sure you don't feel too sick as you get better.
Thank you,
Doctor

write a portion of a chapter of a thriller book. the part is about a hostage negotiation. it's really dangerous. less than 400 words
|
Chris Boss was a leading authority on negotiation. He'd been in the field for 24 years. During his experience with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, he'd handled some of the toughest situations imaginable. He'd asked what the man wanted. He said he wanted his old life. That wasn't possible. But new strides can be taken to help somebody. There's always a brighter future ahead.
"I hear you," said Boss. One of the strategies he knew was to genuinely affirm them and let them know you care. "And why do you want that?"
The man broke down. Knife in hand, wife in arms. He was in a position of power, but everyone could see he was weak. They spoke back and forth for several minutes. Boss was with him every step of the way. It wasn't a conflict between them. It was a mutual approach to a genuine struggle in the man's life. Boss didn't view it as one man against another. He viewed it as one man crying for help and the others around him needing to listen. And Boss was helping in good faith.
Boss reassured him that he must be very hurt. He said he couldn't imagine how he would feel in this situation. He slowly built trust with the man. He asked him what he wanted to accomplish. What his hopes and dreams were. What his goals and motivations were. Unsurprisingly, they weren't too different than most men: be a better father, a better husband, a better worker. Gain control of his life rather than letting his life control him.
The man slowly appeared to agree. His body language opened up and he became less tense. Some well-timed jokes with Boss were the perfect hit of humor when the moment was just right. The man quivered his lip in a way that was almost a heartfelt, tearful cry. It was apparent that he wasn't getting what he wanted in life. Far from it. But he started to believe he could turn it around, thanks to Boss.
Boss finally heard the two magical words. They would unlock the potential for the rest of the negotiation. It was all downhill from here. If this negotiation was a chess game, it was now in check.
"That's right."

Write a two verse limerick about an old cheese grater named Lee.
|
There was a cheese grater named Lee
Whose handle was broken and free.
His metal protrusions
Had rusty occlusions,
And his surface was clad in debris.
The cheese grater's owner did try
To clean him by scrubbing with lye.
He scoured and he soaked,
He scraped and he poked,
But finally, he told Lee goodbye.

Where were cats first domesticated?
|
The people of the Fertile Crescent of the Neolithic period first began to domesticate cats. This process continued and accelerated in the Classical period of ancient Egypt. All modern domestic cats can be traced back to a common ancestor, Felis Silvestris lybica or the North African/Southwest Asian wildcat.

Write a how-to guide to keeping a cactus alive in an apartment. Add personality to it and write it for a young professional who has never had a pet, children, or any other plants.
|
If you’ve never had to keep anything alive besides yourself, then a cactus is definitely the perfect first plant to try with! It’s really easy to keep a cactus happy and healthy, even if you live in a small apartment or work 50 hours a week, so let’s find out how.
- Place your cactus by a window so it gets plenty of light.
- If your cactus starts to turn yellow, that’s too much light!
- Only water your cactus every 10 days or when the soil is completely dry.
- Don’t overwater! Only give it a few tablespoons of water.

How can I show my husband that I appreciate the hard work he does for our family? Outline a bulleted list of 6 ideas that showcase gratitude and love.
|
How sweet!
Here are six ways to show gratitude and affection for your hardworking husband!
• Make his favorite dinner, then pack leftovers for his lunch tomorrow.
Everyone loves a good home-cooked meal, especially when there’s enough for another round! Take time to prepare his favorite foods for dinner, then pack them up to have a second time at work the next day.
If cooking isn’t your forte, or if your husband’s favorite meal isn’t something that’s made at home, then buy it instead. Split the food at home into a lunch container for tonight and tomorrow.
• Give him a relaxing massage to help him sleep.
There’s nothing like being rubbed and relaxed until you doze off. Tell him to lie on his stomach and give him a head-to-toe rubdown that soothes his senses with scented lotions, like lavender or eucalyptus.
• Invest in things that will help him unwind and relax after a long day of work.
Your husband has his favorite things that help him relax after a workday, so keep those stocked for when he comes home. For instance, his favorite after-work snacks and drinks could be signs of care and appreciation!
Another great investment for a hardworking husband is an ottoman. When he gets home and takes off his work boots, give him a comfy space where he can put his feet up and watch some television before bedtime.
• Leave sweet notes of appreciation and love in his lunchbox.
Words matter. Show your husband that you care and appreciate all he does with surprise love notes in his lunchbox. They are fun to find and will give him a boost of romantic feelings for you!
• Plan a day that’s all about him!
What does your husband love to do? Bowling? Movies? Drinking good beer with good friends at the best bar in town? Treat him to his faves! Take him on a date for a whole day and include all of the things that he loves to do.
When you two get home, let him dictate how the night goes. You can spend more time together or go your separate ways to focus on other hobbies and interests.
• Always kiss him hello, goodbye, and goodnight!
Touch and physical affection will always be the best go-to methods for showing your husband how much you care.
When he comes home, kiss him to convey that you are happy to see him. Before he leaves for work, kiss him to wish him a good, safe workday. Before you go to sleep at night, kiss him to remind him that you love and cherish him. These are attentive gestures that remind him of your bond as a devoted married couple.

Given the text below answer the following question and if you can't, say that you do not know the answer.
1. How old was Jerry Springer when he died?
2. How long and how many episodes did The Jerry Springer Show have?
3. How did Jerry Springer die?
4, Did anyone extend their condolences or give a tribute to Jerry Springer?
Jerry Springer, the TV presenter best known for his raucous talk shows, has died aged 79.
The Jerry Springer Show, which ran for nearly three decades from 1991, brought fights, flying chairs, and the fringes of US society to a global audience.
Springer died peacefully on Thursday at his home in Chicago, his publicists confirmed to BBC News.
Jene Galvin, a friend of Springer's and spokesman for the family, described him as "irreplaceable".
"Jerry's ability to connect with people was at the heart of his success in everything he tried whether that was politics, broadcasting or just joking with people on the street who wanted a photo or a word," he said.
"He's irreplaceable and his loss hurts immensely, but memories of his intellect, heart and humour will live on."
Springer's chat show became a symbol of low-brow television over the course of almost 5,000 episodes with its chaotic confrontation, swearing and infidelity revelations.
Fellow chat show host Ricki Lake led the tributes on social media, writing: "Just waking to the very sad news of the passing of my longtime talk show rival and friend Jerry Springer. A lovely man. May he rest in peace."
Broadcaster Piers Morgan described Springer as a "TV icon and such an intelligent, warm, funny man".
"Loved working with him on AGT [America's Got Talent], loved hanging out with him (we lived in same hotel for two years), loved arguing with him (he loved his politics), loved everything about him," he added.

Write the intro for a blog post explaining what DARVO stands for and how it may show up in confrontations with emotionally immature people. Use a casual but informative tone.
|
Have you ever gotten into a conflict with someone and had the whole thing go so thoroughly sideways that you came out feeling like you couldn’t tell which way was up? If so, this post is for you!
Let’s face it: conflict rarely goes smoothly, even between emotionally mature people. But with emotionally immature people—whom I’ll call “adult children” henceforth—it’s almost guaranteed to go from bad to worse. When you're left with no resolution or certainty as to who's in the wrong, along with an unsettling sense that you can’t trust your own memory or moral compass, there’s a good chance you've been a victim of the DARVO strategy.
People who use this tactic aren’t always conscious of what they’re doing. Regardless, DARVO is a manipulative move often employed by those who lack the emotional maturity to accept responsibility for their wrongs.
So what does it mean?
-D for “Deny” - The first stage of manipulation comes with a denial that your experience or feelings are valid. The adult child might deny that the offending event ever occurred, or they may use a more subtle denial, such as mitigating the relevant details or blaming a third party. Red flag phrases: “That isn’t what happened,” “It wasn’t me,” “That wasn’t my fault,” and “You’re misremembering/misunderstanding the situation.”
-A for “Attack” - After denial, the adult child may lash out to put you on your back foot, distracting you with self-doubt and hurt feelings. The attack may include below-the-belt insults or absurd accusations. The attack may lack logic or substance, but that doesn’t matter. The goal is to make the situation emotionally volatile because when you are riled, you’ll find it harder to keep a level head.
-RVO for “Reverse Victim and Offender” - The final stage of this manipulation is where the adult child assumes the role of the victim, casting you in the role of offender. Again, it doesn’t matter if you’ve actually done anything wrong or if your actions are even remotely comparable to theirs—the point is that once the adult child begins acting like a victim, any further attempt you make to hold them accountable can easily be painted as yet another relentless and cruel attack on your part.

Create a short story about a road that leads to a magical land, but the magical land is not what it seems. The tone of the story should start as happy and thrilling, but turn into mystery and horror.
|
There once was a long road made of gold brick across a beautiful field and leading into the mountains. It was said in several ancient texts that the road was built by the gods; some followers of the old religion believed the road was sinister and would lead travelers away from the light and into darkness. But everyone who laid eyes on the road knew it to be special, even ethereal.
One day, a follower of the old religion broke away from his monastery and decided to go to the road to investigate further. He was not satisfied with the ancient texts or the religious teachings he received in the monastery. The follower, becoming increasingly disillusioned by the world around him, longed for something more, something to fill the hole in his heart. He took his chances and started walking down the golden path on a journey that led him to the mountains ahead.
Hours passed as the follower continued on his way, the day turning into night. As night fell, the road began to wind and curve more while becoming more wooded and dense with foliage. Soon, thunder began to boom through the ethereal corridor, and lightning flashed through the storm clouds above. Soon, the follower approached the summit of the mountain; on the mountain was a golden city with grotesques guarding the wrought-iron gate entrance. The place had an ominous feel that turned into doom when the large, hulking visage of a grey dragon just outside the city walls, stood guard. The dragon stepped out of the darkness, spotted the follower, and breathed oven-hot air his way, cooking the tunic on his chest. The dragon lumbered toward the follower, chasing him away from the city and back down the mountain along the golden road.
This place was not meant for visitors, the follower acknowledged.

Could you write a letter to my pen pal, Marco asking him how he's doing? Tell him I have been doing well and that I have been spending all summer fishing. Ask him about his Uncle, Eduardo who had heart surgery recently. Try to keep the letter simple and brief because he is not very good at English yet. Close the letter with "Well wishes, Chris".
|
Dear Marco,
How have you been? I am doing well. I have been spending most of my time fishing this Summer. What have you been up to? Also, how is your Uncle Eduardo recovering after his heart surgery? I hope he is doing well. Hope to hear back from you soon.
Well wishes,

Can you write an explanation about what the sun would sound like if we could hear it on Earth?
|
The Laws of Physics ensure that we are unable to hear sounds from far away in space, thanks to the large vacuum of space. Sound waves work by vibrations traveling through a medium, but if there's no medium to travel through like in space, they can't work. But if it were possible for sound to travel through space the same way it does on the Earth's atmosphere, we would be able to hear the sun. Unfortunately, it would also be very loud.
The sun would be a blaring, white-noise machine that would have the same intensity as a loud rock concert, at all hours of daylight. This is because the sun is extremely loud, according to scientists. The sun is a maelstrom of superheated plasma and the nuclear reaction that powers a star such as a sun would cause massive cells of superheated gas to rise and fall constantly across its surface, creating a tremendous amount of sound.

Please provide a brief summary of the text below:
Collin Sexton took his first steps toward basketball stardom on Thursday as one of the 69 participants at the 2018 NBA draft combine in Chicago.
Sexton officially measured in at 6'1½" with shoes on and a 6'7¼" wingspan. The 19-year-old weighs 183 pounds and has 5.6 percent body fat on his frame, with hands that are 8½" wide and 8¼" long.
Among pure point guards taking part in the combine, Sexton ranks fourth in wingspan and is tied with Devonte Graham and Jevon Carter for ninth in height with shoes on.
ESPN's Jonathan Givony noted Sexton's height "ranks in the bottom 10 percent of all players ever measured at the combine, but his length sits a bit more favorably."
Other than measuring in, this was a fairly quiet day for Sexton in Chicago. He told reporters about meeting with the Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks. Both teams own top-10 picks.
|
Here is the summary you requested!
At the 2018 combine, Colin Sexton measured at just over 6'1" with a 6'7" wingspan. Among the other point guards at the combine, Sexton ranked 4th in wingspan and 9th in height with shoes on. Sexton noted to reporters that he met with two teams drafting inside the top 10, the Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks.

Come up with some ways I can easily lower the amount of water I use in my home.
|
There are many ways to save on water consumption. Here is a list of a few to consider:
1. Check your toilet for leaks. Put a couple of drops of food coloring in your tank and watch the bowl to see if you see any color. If so, you have a leak and are wasting many gallons of water a day.
2. Stop unnecessary flushing. Make sure you're not in the habit of using your toilet as a trash can. Put tissues and small, flushable things in the trash can whenever possible to avoid unnecessary flushing of the toilet.
3. Put a plastic bottle in your toilet tank. Put a few marbles or pebbles into a 1-quart bottle to weigh it down, and fill the rest with water. Place this inside your toilet tank. This will cause your toilet to use less water.
4. Take shorter showers. Pay attention to how long your showers are, and if you prefer showers over water-saving baths, try to limit how long they are.
5. Install water restrictors. Find water-saving shower heads and flow restrictors and install them. They are easy to install and will lower the amount of water you use.

Please write a letter to Jenn, my friend. Emphasize the special connection that I have with Jenn through our letters and my evolution as a writer. Also, give an idea of how some experiences in life are too precious to share with the world but could still be shared in a book about our story. End with a question for Jenn to prompt a response and continue the conversation.
|
Dear Jenn,
I’m finally writing you a letter. I deserve some form of punishment for seizing the most wonderful exchange of words I’ve ever experienced in my life, but aren’t you just too kind to never get mad at me?
I don’t even know why I stopped – probably because the last few letters were too decisive. I used to be quite indecisive, you know. Maybe I still am, but I know I’ve changed a lot over the years. I’ve become more calm, less reactive, and intellectually more mature. Yet, I feel that I don’t exercise my intellectuality as much as I used to back then with you. I haven’t had a more pleasurable experience in my life. Well, some – if you know what I mean.
These letters were like my diary. I hardly ever maintained a diary after graduating, but this was better than a diary. Now I write so much, yet those words don’t hold that much meaning as they used to when we wrote letters.
Now that I’m writing this, I realize I’m thinking more and writing less. All those articles and research, worrying about making every word fit perfectly, and whatnot. Here, I’m just pouring my heart out, and it’s still more thoughtful than anything.
Thinking about writing, I’ve been a writer for a while now, and I feel that’s because of you. It’s not blame but acknowledgment. You made me it, like an artist, like a mentor. If I write a book about us, it would be a bestseller for sure. Don’t you think? Probably a very romantic way to look at it, but it’s probably true. But then our story is too precious a secret to share with the world. Or maybe just yet?
Sincerely yours,
|

Can you write about a fictional city called Sat-tle? I would like it in a brochure style, with bulleted points about the most popular spots to visit and do. Sat-tle is comparable to the real-life city, Seattle.
|
1. Public Market: This market is home to a lot of vendors that sell all their wares. Being next to the sea means that there are a lot of fishermen trying to sell what they caught right as they caught it. Sometimes there is some weird stuff like the Three-pronged Swordfish or flying pigs that the air fishermen catch, but most of it is pretty normal fare! Sat-tle is proud of our fishermen and our market.
2. Space Needle: Probably our biggest landmark and most popular. The Space Needle towers over us with a height of over 100ft! It really makes you feel like you're one step away from touching space! Considering Space is only about 100 or 200ft from where we live, the tourists have to wear special suits as soon as they get up there just in case any accidents happen. Don't want anyone to get in trouble!
3. The Sat-tle Ferris Wheel: This Ferris wheel hangs off one of the piers close to the Public Market. Going up gives you an amazing view over Sat-tle. You can enjoy it with your party, or you can book one of our server worms to serve you dinner while you take the Ferris Wheel up. It's an experience you'll never forget.
4. Pal Dendroson's Park: Recently renovated, Pal Dendroson's Park is a great place to go if you have a kid or want to walk your pet! Green as far as the eye can see. On one end of the park is an entire baseball field with astroturf, artificial grass that simulates jumping on the moon! You'll have a blast jumping 20ft in the air, trying to catch that sky-high home run ball!

Who was the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest? On what date did they reach the top?
|
The first people to ever reach the summit of Mount Everest were New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Nepalese Tenzing Norgay. Their trek to the top of the world's highest mountain culminated at 11:30 a.m. on May 29, 1953. Hillary and Norgay were experienced climbers of the British Everest Expedition of 1953. They were selected from a special group of eleven climbers for the final ascent by the Expedition's leader, Colonel John Hunt.

Write an email to my long-lost cousin explaining that the death of my father requires her attention since he has included her in his will. Include information on where she is to meet me and encourage a prompt response. The email should not be verbose but should be cordial. Her name is Miriam.
|
Dear Miriam,
I pray this letter finds you well and wish that I was reaching out under better circumstances. Sadly, we've lost touch over the years and it seems death will ultimately reunite us. If you have not been told, my father passed away early last week. Upon getting his final affairs in order it was brought to my attention that he has included you in his last will and testimony. If you're not familiar with these proceedings, we all have to be present before the lawyer to have all the details ironed out. I have arranged a meeting at my father's estate in two weeks and hope that you will be able to join us in person. We can help with transportation and lodging as necessary, you just have to let me know. You also have the option to connect remotely via an official Zoom meeting arranged by his lawyer. Although I'm aware the remote option may better suit you right now, I do hope you'll choose to come to see me in person. I can be reached at the phone number and email below since our mail simple is simply too slow these days.
Best regards,
(Your name)

Is the following reddit comment toxic?
Or. Hear me out. HR could do their damn job and root out the hostile work environment issues
|
The Reddit comment provided does not appear to be toxic. Rather, it possesses a mix of frustration and exhaustion at a perceived solution to an issue. The comment mentions HR (human resources), a department predominantly responsible for ensuring that work environments remain stress and drama free. The comment is not inflammatory, hostile or derogatory but instead, direct and blunt due to the writer's frustration at a department designed to resolve said issues doing so inefficiently.

The five major layers of the Earth's atmosphere are:
1. Troposphere: It's the lowest layer, starting from the surface and going up to about 12 kilometers. This is where we find the air we breathe and where weather and clouds form.
2. Stratosphere: It's above the troposphere and goes from 12 to 50 kilometers. This layer has the ozone layer, which protects us from the Sun's harmful rays.
3. Mesosphere: It's between 50 and 80 kilometers. It's the coldest layer with temperatures of about minus 85 degrees Celsius. It has high-up clouds and is where most meteors burn up.
4. Thermosphere: It's from 80 to 700 kilometers. It gets hotter as you go higher and has the Northern and Southern Lights sometimes. This is where the International Space Station orbits.
5. Exosphere: It's the outermost layer, starting from 700 kilometers and going up to 10,000 kilometers. It merges with the solar wind, and satellites go around there.

Summarize this text:
Like many other regional banks, the value of PacWest’s loans and bond holdings have crumbled as interest rates have surged. Customers yanked their deposits in March out of fear that the bank could fail and they’d be left holding the bag. Although the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. insures accounts holding up to $250,000, many businesses have a lot more money in their accounts, much of which is uninsured.
That left the bank and its competitors with a potential problem: If customers kept drawing down their accounts, the bank may run out of cash to pay them. That made investors nervous: PacWest’s stock has plunged 72% this year.
PacWest appeared to have stabilized in recent weeks since the March collapses of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. PacWest reported last week that customers have stopped withdrawing their money and 73% of the bank’s deposits were insured.
But when First Republic failed earlier this week, investors grew weary that another shoe could drop. The stock cratered 28% on Tuesday and another 2% Wednesday.

Draft an email to a friend you haven't seen in many years. Create a story of life for the writer
|
To: [email protected]
From: [email protected]
Subject: Wow!
Friend! I haven't seen you in years. Thank you for giving your information to my secretary while you were in town. Sorry I couldn't talk long, I had a meeting I needed to get to and I was running late, but now I have time to talk a bit.
How have you been? Where have you been? The last time I saw you was when we were in high school together, and we went to the beach on senior skip day. That was a fun day!
I'll fill you in on what I've been up to since then. After high school, I went to college but dropped out a semester later and found a job to make some money. I was working in sales for three years before I ended up starting my own business selling electronics from home, and now I run a big company that has locations worldwide. You stopped by my main office the other day and spoke to my secretary; we also have offices in the UK, China, Japan, and Thailand. We even have a satellite office close to where you live in Green Acres. You're welcome to check it out if you like.
I used to be married but now I'm divorced (long story) and we have three children, two of whom live with me and the other going to college. I'm hoping once the older one is finished with her schooling, she will consider working for my company to learn the ropes and take over when I'm retired.
Have you kept up with any of our friends from high school? I haven't seen any of them for a long time. You're the first person I've talked to from high school since then! I'm glad you reached out to me, it's always cool to walk down memory lane.
If you ever want to talk more, you now have my email. I'll also give you my number below. Hope to hear from you soon man!
Your Friend

Can you provide me with some great ideas for a small business start-up?
|
Here are some ideas for anyone who wants to start their own small business.
1. Start Your Own Dropshipping Business
Dropshipping is a great, affordable business startup idea that is easy to get started with. Dropshipping is a fulfillment method where a third-party supplier stores and ships the inventory to your customers on your behalf. It is one of the easiest and fastest businesses to start.
2. Design and Print Your Own T-Shirts
Everyone loves a good t-shirt and a customized design on it that makes it even better. This is another type of dropshipping business where the focus is on making customized products that have your own design or something unique and original. And you can create even more than just t-shirts for your customers to enjoy. These businesses will often sell hats, cups, sweatshirts, blankets, and so much more.
3. Launch a Book
Books are another form of product that you can create based on the particular demand in a specific market. Everything from cookbooks to books on photography can be self-published and sold online. You are only limited to your own creativity when it comes to creating a book you and your audience will love. You can even tap into your creative side and write a fictional series if you desire.
4. Create an Online Course
Are you an expert in a specific field? Or are you good at a specific hobby and want to share your talent with others to show them how to get started? Creating a digital online course for others to follow is a great way to share your gifts and make a little extra money at the same time. Music courses and podcasts are just a few examples of great low-cost business start-up ideas that have the potential to really take off and help you build your brand.
5. Sell Pring on-demand posts or greeting cards
If you are an artist or you are great at taking photos, you create your own dropship business by printing on-demand products for customers. As long as you have the all rights to use the content, you are free to print and use them for monetary gain. You can print out posters of cute animals or create greeting cards with your own unique content. The possibilities are endless.

Write a press report about Bobby Thomas but he has transhuman augmentation.
|
The center-half cyborg arrives at Oakwell on loan from Burnley FC until the end of the season! Thomas is returning to meet his old boss at U21, Turf Moor, but this time he's taking to the green with his fresh set of rocket-powered calves, omnidirectional knee joints, aerodynamic scalp attachments, and adaptive cleat grips.
In his early career, when he still had flesh legs, Thomas was able to put up great numbers, scoring 420 goals in his first 2.67 years at the Bristol Wr00vers. He won Young Player of the Year in 2022, and now in 2070, he's back and ready to kick some footballs.
Head Coach Hillary Duff said, "We're very happy to bring Bobby aboard. He's absolutely shined, and not because of the titanium shin armor on his new chassis. Although the addition of class 5 cybernetic gear will bolster his chances, we think he'll be scoring goals on the top net in no time. Rocket football is a lot like Rocket League. You have to be able to skate across the grass with the grace of a sculptor and strike with the fury of Zeus! Thomas has got all the skills and the gear to achieve those goals. The competition be warned! We have the best transhuman athlete on this planet and the next!"
When asked about his feelings on the subject, Thomas responded, "Error: 404. Response not found."

In this description of Butter Chicken, what does it give as an alternate name for the dish?
Indulge in the rich, creamy flavor of paleo butter chicken, also known as Murgh Makhani. This dish derives its name from the abundant use of savory butter of ghee, also known as clarified butter. Don't worry, you can enjoy this dish without breaking your paleo or keto diet. We've substituted the yogurt with coconut milk, and recommend using ghee which is paleo-compliant, so you can indulge in it guilt-free.

I've noticed some hummingbirds in my yard lately, and I'd like to invite more of them if possible. Help me come up with some ways to make my garden and yard more inviting to hummingbirds so more will come.
|
Once hummingbirds discover your garden, it is easy to encourage them to return. Here are some ways you can make your garden more inviting to hummingbirds:
1. Native Blooms - fill your yard and garden with native flowering plants and shrubs. Consider adding some hanging baskets and window boxes as well.
2. Red and Orange Plants - choose plants that have a bright red or orange bloom. These are attractive to hummingbirds and also rich in nectar.
3. Groupings - group similar plants together and keep in mind blooming seasons so that there is always something blooming.
4. Perches - leave some small branches and twigs exposed so the hummingbirds can easily stop and rest nearby.
5. Pesticides - plan on either minimizing or ideally completely eliminating pesticides in your garden.
6. Encourage the Neighbors - if your neighbors also have hummingbird-friendly yards, this will create a much larger environment for them.

Per the archive content below, when is St. Michael's Day?
Throughout the British Isles and Ireland, great ceremony attended the cutting of the last sheaf; the last refuge of the harvest. St. Michael's Day was held on September 29th, and was a festival that shared many of the same features of Lughnasadh.
When I recollect my childhood memories from Wales, I remember my family's celebration of this day and it always takes me back to the making of the Struan Micheil or Michael's Bannock.
The Struan Micheil was a special cake, more like a heavy bread, that was made from all of the different types of grain that were harvested during that time of year by my family from all around the surrounding area.
I remember various large round loaves that were marked with deep crosses. These loaves were then fire cooked. Within my family, each woman's fire contained special sacred woods in which their loaves were baked. My grandmother's contained sacred oaks, rowan, and some various bramble wood that she loved the best because to her it smelled of the dark brambles or blackberries that it would soon harvest and was "best" for her fire and her bannock. I also remember how various women each spoke of the different ingredients they used and why. I also remember that I did not care for bannock made with sheep's milk!
I have been blessed with having the awesome pleasure of owning my grandmother‘s bannock recipe which was willed to me and will one day be passed down to the next generation of my family. I think that of all I have experienced, her recipe is by far the best, and I will always fondly remember the smell coming from the cook fire for the rest of my life.
I have researched many recipes on bannock that have included different grain types, the availability of various grains and flours, and the times during the year that the bannock loaves were cooked and for what purposes they were made.
I found that Wales and Ireland were not as similar as I had thought they might be. In Ireland, the bannock is typically made from a wheat flour. Barley flours were used extensively in Wales. Bannock loaves provided a main staple food and were eaten at feasts as well as all of the daily meals. They acted as the prime form of breads and cakes in the days of old.
During the times of the harvest, my grandmother made and put up as many loaves or cakes as she had enough flour to cook. All during September, she and the family cooked enough bannock loaves that would supply them throughout the harvest season, the coming Winter. and throughout most of the Spring.
Folk tradition has it that the baker imbues each cake with a blessing during every stage of the bannock: mixing the ingredients, kneading the dough, leaving it to proof, baking the cake, and a special blessing if it was for a gift. Therefore, care must also be taken during this day in respect to how many cakes are cooked. I have also found that it is traditional for many in Ireland, Wales, and Scotland to bless each bannock as it is removed from the fire.
All day long my family baked.
There were also processions, songs to Michael, and horse racing in the afternoon that almost everyone attended. We then returned to our home early in the evening to enjoy music, dancing and the exchange of gifts. It seemed that over the years the gift exchange was done more so at Samhain and during Yule after we moved to the United States.
My family still cooks a bannock for many holidays. Michael's Mass has past us now this year, however, Samhain is upon us and maybe during your celebration this year, someone would perhaps like to add the custom of preparing the bannock to their own celebrations. Do not be afraid to use and try different flours of your region as well as whole grains and spices.
Although I do not know the exact time period that bannock originated; my family’s original recipe has been handed down within my family and dates to 1538.
The following is a simplified version of the bannock recipe that you can try at home. It is has been further adapted from the recipe that was used by my grandmother, Lady Ethel of Wales, and myself.
Bannock Recipe
1 Cup Barley flour
1 Cup Wheat flour
1/2 Cup Rolled Oats
1 Cup White Sugar
1/2 to 1 Cup Sultanas or White Raisins
1 1/2 Cup Buttermilk
2 tbsp. Baking Powder
2 tbsp. Baking Soda
1 tbsp. Coarse Ground Salt
1 tbsp. Allspice
1 tbsp. Cinnamon
1 tbsp. Cloves
1 tbsp. Nutmeg
Instructions
Gas Mark 400 Fahrenheit or 200 Celsius for 20-25 minutes.
Electric Oven 375 Fahrenheit or 190 Celsius for 40-45 minutes.
In a large bowl, sift both flours fine, add salt, baking powder and soda to sifter. Re-sift the mixture of flours, salt, and baking soda then add the spices and sift. Remove sifter and add the next set of ingredients by tossing in the rolled oats, sugar, and sultanas. Slowly add the buttermilk and mix by hand until mixture forms a ball. Next, turn the dough out onto a well-floured board. Knead, turn about 50 or 60 times, and re-flour as needed.
You will then need to decide the desired size of your loaf. You can turn this into a large loaf, or split it into two medium cakes. Separate the dough into small rounded balls and then flatten it into a small round flat cake about 3/4 inch thick. For medium or large sized loaves, score the top of each cake with a cross. Bake as directed above.

I want the opening of an anime where a quiet high school boy has an encounter with the popular female transfer student. This is the start of their story.
|
I wasn't a lonely person. In fact, I was quite content with my life. I got to sit with my books in peace and could write my stories without others getting in the way. However, seeing my classmates running around and enjoying their youth--it sometimes made me wonder if I was wasting the opportunities that youth afforded us all.
That's when Mao-san turned up. She was a transfer student. She transferred in the previous month and was instantly popular. Of course, transferring in halfway through our first year of high school gave her that mysterious air that made people want to talk to her. On top of that, she was pretty, athletic, and had good grades. The guys loved her, and the girls loved her even more. That's why I was so stunned when she approached me during lunch one day.
She stopped in front of my desk and asked, "Do you mind if we eat lunch together?"
She had a worried smile on her face that gave me pause for a moment. I didn't particularly want to eat with her, but I didn't feel like it was appropriate to turn her down with everyone staring at us. "S-Sure. That's fine."
She pulled up a chair and opened her handmade lunch while I ate my convenience store bread. I continued reading my book while she ate at my desk in silence. Somehow, I didn't feel forced into talking. In fact, I felt as though she didn't want to speak. A few glances at her showed that she was perfectly content with sitting there in tranquil silence, despite others whispering about her and me eating together.
This is the start of the story of how I got a girlfriend.

What is the law of conservation of energy?
|
The law of conservation of energy is a fundamental principle of physics that states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant and is said to be conserved over time. This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another. In other words, the total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant over time.
For example, when you turn on a light bulb, the electrical energy is converted into light and heat energy. The total amount of energy in the system (the light bulb, the electrical outlet, and the surrounding air) remains the same, but it has been converted from one form to another.

Friendly and overly-wordy instructions for climbing stairs with 5 steps in a numbered list, go!
|
Hello there! Here is a set of instructions in a convenient numbered list on how to climb stairs with five steps.
1. First, take your right foot and raise it high (but not too high), just enough to place your foot on top of the first step. When ready, place your right foot down flat directly onto the first step. Then, use the leverage from the foot on the step to raise your body, and place your left foot on the first step. If the stairs come with a handrail, you are recommended to grab onto that as well, following along with the movement of your feet.
2. Here comes step two! You will take what you've learned with the first step, and apply it here as well; raising your right foot, placing it firmly and flat onto the second step, and using the leverage gained from your right foot to raise your body and place your left foot onto the second step as well. If using a handrail, make sure you're shifting along to the second step when you make the transition.
3. Step three, and stay calm! You're moving a good distance up, but aren't there quite yet. Just as before, you take your right foot, place it confidently upon that third step, and maneuver yourself to the third step until your left foot is right next to your right one. The handrail should keep you steady as you move along but do not fret if one is not available.
4. The fourth step, we're nearly there! By now, you're quite the veteran of climbing steps, but don't get overconfident! Take it slow, following the process you've learned, with one foot after the other. Right foot first, leverage, and left foot to match. Keep on that handrail, if applicable!
5. Finally, the final step. Keep calm, take a deep breath, and treat it like every other step before. As always, raise that right foot, place it with conviction on the step, and then use it to raise your body and left foot until you're on the final step. The handrail is a great tool in helping to keep your balance this far up, but do not worry if one is not available.
And there you have it, instructions on how to climb stairs with five steps!

From the paragraph I've provided could you answer these questions: What year is the earliest survey map in the US that shows a "tramroad"? What was the state? What did Thomas Leiper own near Chester?
The earliest survey map in the United States that shows a commercial "tramroad" was drawn in Pennsylvania in October 1809 by John Thomson and was entitled "Draft Exhibiting . . . the Railroad as Contemplated by Thomas Leiper Esq. From His Stone Saw-Mill and Quarries on Crum Creek to His Landing on Ridley Creek." Thomas Leiper was a wealthy Philadelphia tobacconist and friend of Thomas Jefferson, who owned stone quarries near Chester. Using his survey map, Thomson helped Reading Howell, the project engineer and a well-known mapmaker, construct the first practical wooden tracks for a tramroad. Thomson was a notable land surveyor who earlier had worked with the Holland Land Company. He was the father of the famous civil engineer and longtime president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, John Edgar Thomson, who was himself a mapmaker.

Bailey: Hooray for our human!

Write a tweet explaining how pigs can fly keep it professional and make it convincing.
|
Breaking news! After extensive research, I've discovered that pigs can indeed fly. Pigs develop wings after reaching a certain age, which is why we rarely see them. Unfortunately, most pigs are used for food, preventing them from living long enough to develop their wings. This may explain the saying 'when pigs fly.' Understandably, some people might find the idea of winged pigs alarming, which could be why it's been kept a secret for so long. What do you think of this groundbreaking discovery?" #flyingpigs #secretrevealed

Take on the persona of a Knight of the Brotherhood of Steel in the Fallout 4 Universe. Write between 150-200 words in a single paragraph about your life and your views on things in the wasteland area of New England.
|
Life in the remnants of what used to be the United States of America is hard, but thanks to the Brotherhood of Steel, my life in this New England wasteland has a purpose. I was raised by them; both my mother and father were members. My mother was a Scribe, and my father attained the rank of Knight. I pursued the path of Knighthood in his memory. I have few distinct memories of him. He died when I was only nine. He was caught in an ambush by a pair of Institute synths. Many of the settlers in the wasteland of the Commonwealth and small communities hate us. They don't understand why we take the technology they stumble upon or why we requisition a share of their crops. I try to avoid fighting with them, but some need to learn a lesson. We are the only thing that stands between peace and anarchy. We will purge the Commonwealth of synths, ghouls, and raiders. We will make this nation great again. I pledge my life to this cause.

Write an email from a woman asking her aunt if she can stay at her home during an upcoming holiday. The woman should state that she is unhappy with her home life and is seeking a brief respite.
|
Dear Aunt Lisa,
I'm emailing you to check if it would be alright if I stayed at your house for Memorial Day. As you know, things over here are a little hectic day-to-day, and the situation has started to wear on me. I have always thought of your house as an escape; all of my worries seem to melt away while I'm there. I would only be staying for Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday morning, as I have to get back home by Sunday night. If it's not a good time, that is completely fine and I understand.
Let me know either way!

Rewrite this short story as if it were set in a magical world
A shoemaker, by no fault of his own, had become so poor that at last he had nothing left but leather for one pair of shoes. So in the evening, he cut out the shoes which he wished to begin to make the next morning, and as he had a good conscience, he lay down quietly in his bed, commended himself to God, and fell asleep. In the morning, after he had said his prayers, and was just going to sit down to work, the two shoes stood quite finished on his table. He was astounded, and knew not what to say to it. He took the shoes in his hands to observe them closer, and they were so neatly made that there was not one bad stitch in them, just as if they were intended as a masterpiece. Soon after, a buyer came in, and as the shoes pleased him so well, he paid more for them than was customary, and, with the money, the shoemaker was able to purchase leather for two pairs of shoes. He cut them out at night, and next morning was about to set to work with fresh courage; but he had no need to do so, for, when he got up, they were already made, and buyers also were not wanting, who gave him money enough to buy leather for four pairs of shoes. The following morning, too, he found the four pairs made; and so it went on constantly, what he cut out in the evening was finished by the morning, so that he soon had his honest independence again, and at last became a wealthy man. Now it befell that one evening not long before Christmas, when the man had been cutting out, he said to his wife, before going to bed, "What think you if we were to stay up to-night to see who it is that lends us this helping hand?" The woman liked the idea, and lighted a candle, and then they hid themselves in a corner of the room, behind some clothes which were hanging up there, and watched. When it was midnight, two pretty little naked men came, sat down by the shoemaker's table, took all the work which was cut out before them and began to stitch, and sew, and hammer so skilfully and so quickly with their little fingers that the shoemaker could not turn away his eyes for astonishment. They did not stop until all was done, and stood finished on the table, and they ran quickly away.

In a realm where magic and wonder thrived, there lived a shoemaker who had fallen on hard times. He possessed only a solitary piece of enchanted leather, capable of crafting a single pair of shoes. With a heavy heart, he carefully marked the leather in preparation for the next day's work. As the moon graced the sky, casting its ethereal glow, the shoemaker sought solace in dreams and whispered wishes.
As the sun heralded a new day, the shoemaker was greeted by a breathtaking sight. Resting upon his worktable were two exquisite shoes, woven with threads of enchantment. The stitches danced with vibrant energy, a testament to the mystical forces at play. Bewildered and grateful, he couldn't fathom the origin of this fantastical gift.
News of the extraordinary shoes spread across the magical lands, capturing the attention of a curious sorcerer. Eager to possess such extraordinary craftsmanship, the sorcerer offered a princely sum, surpassing all expectations. With the newfound wealth, the shoemaker procured enough magical materials to fashion two more pairs of shoes.
Night after night, the magical ritual unfolded. The shoemaker would prepare the materials, retire to his bed, and awaken to find the shoes completed by unseen hands. The shoes held an undeniable allure, attracting patrons far and wide, each enamored by their otherworldly beauty.
As the shoemaker's prosperity grew, a notion took root within his heart. On the eve of the Winter Solstice, he shared his plan with his enchantress wife. They resolved to unravel the mystery, to witness the enchantment unfold before their eyes. With eager anticipation, they lit mystical candles and concealed themselves, eager to uncover the truth.
When the clock struck midnight, the veil between worlds wavered, and two whimsical pixies materialized. Their tiny forms radiated with magical luminescence as they settled at the shoemaker's table. With nimble fingers and mischievous giggles, they wove spells into each stitch, infusing the shoes with enchantments that could captivate even the most jaded heart. The couple observed in awe, their spirits lifted by the sight of magic in its purest form.
As the last stitch was sewn, the pixies bid their farewell, vanishing into the night. The room brimmed with an aura of gratitude and wonder, for the shoemaker and his wife had been touched by the very essence of their mystical realm.
Embracing their newfound prosperity, the shoemaker and his wife became revered artisans, crafting shoes that whispered tales of magic to those who wore them. Their creations traversed kingdoms, bridging the gap between ordinary lives and extraordinary possibilities.
And so, in the realm of enchantment, the tale of the shoemaker and his magical shoes became a legend, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, the spark of magic could ignite dreams and transform destinies.

Grilled cheese sandwiches are just to die for. I ate one the other day and between the crispy crust and the melty American cheese, I was straight up in heaven. I'm already dreaming of that next first bite. When I close my eyes I can even hear the crackling of the toast as I bite into that savory perfection. So yeah, grilled cheese, don't sleep on it. Bread, butter, and cheese. It's so simple yet it is all I need. Yum!

Rewrite this news article excerpt as a promotional trailer script for Season 3 of "Star Trek: Picard."
So how does “Star Trek: Picard” relate to cybersecurity?
The nature of the threat
The show’s protagonist is Jean-Luc Picard, a retired Starfleet admiral who commanded the starship Enterprise-D in a previous series. Starfleet is the military wing of the United Federation of Planets, of which Earth is a member. In Season 3, the final season, Picard’s ultimate enemy, the Borg, returns to try conquering humanity again. The Borg is a cybernetic collective of half-human, half-machine “drones” led by a cyborg queen.
The Borg has partnered with other villains and worked for over a decade to deploy hidden agents able to compromise the DNA data contained in the software underpinning the transporter – a teleportation device used regularly by Starfleet personnel. Over many years, a certain subgroup of Starfleet personnel had their DNA altered by using the transporter.
Thus, in launching their final attack, the Borg is able to instantly activate thousands of “drones” to do its bidding in the form of altered, compromised Starfleet personnel. As Geordi La Forge, the Enterprise-D’s engineer, notes, “They’ve been assimilating the entire fleet this whole time, without anyone ever knowing it.”

I am thinking of trying to learn how to use oil paints, can you tell me what I need to get started? I have no experience with painting so please explain what the items I need will be used for.
|
Here is a list of items you will need to begin oil painting:
1. Oil Paint - Oil paint comes in tubes that can be purchased individually or in a set. As you are new to oil painting, a set with basic colors is a good place to start. You will need tubes of white, black, red, blue and yellow.
2. Brushes - As a beginner, you do not need many brushes, it is best to master a few basic sizes before branching out to more costly options. A variety of one or two small, medium, and large round brushes will be enough to begin with.
3. Turpentine or Mineral Spirits - Oil paint does not require water for brush cleaning. Instead, you use a paint-thinning solution to clean excess paint from the bristles. Turpentine is a commonly used phrase for this substance, but mixtures of odorless mineral spirits are a common alternative. Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area as these liquids can be harmful.
4. A jar for cleaning brushes - You will need a glass vessel with a lid to store your turpentine or mineral spirits for cleaning. Ensure the vessel has a secure lid to seal in the vapor when not used.
5. Linseed Oil or Oil Medium - Much like mineral spirits and turpentine, linseed oil will dilute oil paint. However, as it is oil-based, it creates an ideal consistency without sacrificing the paint’s texture when painting. You can use this in the same way you would use water to thin-down other paints, such as watercolors.
6. Rags - Rags are used to wipe your brushes after cleaning once you have dipped them in your jar.
7. Palette - You will need a clean, hard, non-porous surface to decant and mix your paint on.
8. Painting Surface - Any surface can be painted with oil as long as it is primed with Gesso. The most common surfaces are canvas, thick paper, or wooden panels.

I just picked up freelance writing, and I want to know where I can find work. Are you able to create a list of some online freelance writing job boards?
|
I am able to do that for you! Here it is!
1. Upwork - Upwork is a large freelance writing marketplace with a lot of available work. That being said, it can be competitive for someone new to writing. This platform has several kinds of contracts, and you can find both short-term and long-term contracts. You can also choose to be paid hourly or by the project.
2. Craigslist - Craigslist is a great place to find work, but beware. It's filled with tons of scams. That being said, good work can be found on craigslist with enough effort, and you may find some solid options. Craigslist allows you to search for jobs by location, and it's a great place to get your first few samples.
3. FlexJobs - FlexJobs has several categories where you can find flexible and full-time options. Jobs on this site require a subscription, and it is better for more experienced freelance bloggers.
4. Linkedin - Linkedin is more than a social media page. It allows you to network and grow your business. And it allows you to find work. If you optimize your profile in your niche, some employers may even find you. Alternatively, it includes a job list that you can search through, and you'll have an easier time finding jobs as you grow your network.
5. Fiverr - Fiverr is different from the others, as you set an offer as a writer. All you have to do is make a short bio and description of the work you can provide. Then, buyers search through Fiverr to find the kind of work they need to be done for themself. Fiverr lets you set your own rate, and it can be a bit difficult to find work if you're just getting started.

Write a short blog on the topic of standardized assessments for primary grade students. Use an objective tone and offer both benefits and challenges when using assessments with students in the earliest grades.
|
Administering standardized assessments to primary students has been a subject of some debate for decades. Primary students are those students in pre-kindergarten through second grade. The administration of the assessment proves challenging because the reading levels of children vary to such a large degree. Many children are not yet independent readers at this point. Additionally, because of the variability of reading levels, the results of the assessments can cause educators and parents to draw inaccurate and incomplete conclusions about a child's academic potential. Assessments can be administered orally and individually but that requires a tremendous amount of resources, including time and staffing; furthermore, oral assessment administration can lead to questions about the reliability and validity of the results. Variability in the educators' skill and precision at administering oral assessments also creates questionable results.
The benefits are significant if these challenges can be overcome. Assessing each student's reading level at regular intervals and using that information to make instructional decisions on an ongoing basis prevents students from falling behind due to educators' lack of awareness. Standardized tests, even those with flaws, provide information about student populations so educators will know if groups of students identified by race, culture, or economic status are experiencing disparities in learning. Disparities, often referred to as gaps, are difficult to close, but if identified early, they can be addressed before they become overwhelming for the child. Standardized assessments are complex and controversial, but they can provide valuable information if used appropriately.
As technology improves, perhaps the administration of these tests and consistency in the educational experiences of children will improve. There are promising indications that new technologies and applications will provide educators with more accurate and actionable information to use as they help students move toward becoming independent readers.

The Washington family was a wealthy Virginia planter family that had made its fortune through land speculation and the cultivation of tobacco.[15] Washington's great-grandfather John Washington emigrated in 1656[16] from Sulgrave, Northamptonshire, England, to the English colony of Virginia where he accumulated 5,000 acres (2,000 ha) of land, including Little Hunting Creek on the Potomac River.[17] George Washington was born on February 22, 1732,[b] at Popes Creek in Westmoreland County, in the British colony of Virginia,[18] and was the first of six children of Augustine and Mary Ball Washington.[19] His father was a justice of the peace and a prominent public figure who had four additional children from his first marriage to Jane Butler.[20] The family moved to Little Hunting Creek in 1735. In 1738, they moved to Ferry Farm near Fredericksburg, Virginia, on the Rappahannock River. When Augustine died in 1743, Washington inherited Ferry Farm and ten slaves; his older half-brother Lawrence inherited Little Hunting Creek and renamed it Mount Vernon.[21][22]

I need a 200-word or more story written about a cat who lives outdoors and is obsessed with pies in the window. The cat loves to terrorize people with freshly baked pies cooling on the windowsill by smacking them with its paw and knocking them down.
|
Salem was a feisty little kitty who roamed the city of Alzoek. He quite loved his life - he got to enjoy running around the grass-filled fields, meeting other cats, and his absolute favorite - smacking freshly baked pies out of windowsills. It's his favorite thing to do because he thinks it's silly that people leave them out so exposed! One day, Salem chose the wrong house. As he ran towards an open window with a blueberry pie sitting on a windowsill, he sees there is an older woman in the background sweeping the floors. She's occupied so he makes his move! Up to the windowsill he goes. He jumps on a chair and shimmies up to the window. *SMACK* He takes his paw and bats at it until the pie falls onto the ground. Uh-oh - the old lady heard the ruckus and angrily walked over to see her perfect pie lying on the ground!
"WHY I OUGHTA -", she angrily shakes her fist. Salem is smiling, staring right into her eyes. She quickly walks back to her broom, grabs it, and comes charging at Salem. Salem senses this danger and hides behind the chair. He was not stealthy enough on this day, for the older woman bonks him on the head with the soft part of the broom until he takes off down the street, never to return to her house again.
The end.

Rewrite this as a reading comprehension quiz with answers.
It was 1986. I had not long arrived in London but regularly visited the fine emporium Books For Cooks in Notting Hill. I was a young cook then and being paid accordingly. What I did not have in cash I made up for in enthusiasm. One day, I approached the table at which sat the formidable Clarissa Dickson Wright who took one look at the pile of books in my arms and said, “Are you really going to buy all those?”
I blushed furiously, trying to respond.
“Here,” she said, “give me those and take this. It has just been published, is brilliant, and you must have it.” And she handed me a book with a beautifully illustrated cover. It was Honey From a Weed by Patience Gray. For ever after I was devoted to Clarissa.
Honey From a Weed is the writings of a woman who followed her man, the sculptor Norman Mommens who moved them to the Mediterranean in search of marble. In endless small steps, Patience Gray –turned her back on a life in London as a journalist – she was women’s page editor of the Observer- before settling finally in a farmhouse in Apulia, southern Italy, the kitchen of which is depicted on the cover.
Remarkably ahead of its time, Honey From a Weed is scrupulous in its knowledge of local and seasonal cooking, and forages as part of daily life. They never had a fridge, electricity or running water. The recipes are beautiful and even the alarming recipe for cooking a male fox shot in cold winter months shows humour in the rigorous personality of the author.
I cook several recipes still from this estimable work – a dish of rabbit and prunes and a green vegetable puree among others . But it is the conjuring of time and place that enthrals the reader. The recipes take on an otherworldly quality as evinced in la salsa secca. A fresh tomato sauce is poured cup by cup into many plates then laid out on the roof to be dried with the help of the north wind. The caveat is to beware the sirocco for “it is of no use”.

What are the types of mange a dog can get? Are they transferrable to humans?
|
Two forms of mange affect dogs.
• Sarcoptic Mange: This type of mange is from a mite called the Sarcoptes scabiei. It is also known as canine scabies. It is very contagious and can be given to humans, however, the mites do not thrive on human hosts.
• Demodectic Mange: This type of mange is from a mite called Demodex canis. It is sometimes called red mange. These mites are a normal part of a dog's skin flora and are always present. They are given to puppies from their mothers during the days after birth. Demodectic mange is not transferrable to humans. In dogs with weakened immune systems, the mites can multiply out of control and cause issues for the dog's skin.

Here is an excerpt from a book. From which type of animal is the book's perspective written, and how do you know? Animal type options: cat, dog, rodent, bird, fish
After a few hours, Kirrick felt the need to rest and refresh himself. He had spotted the brook twinkling invitingly at him, some time ago, but had flown on, seeking the safest place to alight. He felt desperately lonely, but checked carefully to ensure that there were no other signs of life. Then he landed gracefully in a small hawthorn near the stream.

The book is written from the perspective of a bird. The use of the terms "flown" and "alight" to describe the protagonist's movements indicate Kittrick can fly.

Dear Dr. Sanchez,
I am emailing you about a rather unusual situation regarding the take-home exam we were assigned. As I was out of the house for a bit today, my pet capybara went through my papers that I accidentally left within reach. To my dismay upon returning, she had eaten it all and left nothing behind. I want to apologize for inconveniencing you in any way and for not being more responsible about putting my assignment away. If it is possible, I would like to know if I would be able to be given an extension on this assignment. I would be more than happy to accept one under any terms.
Again, my apologies for the situation, and I would appreciate any help I can receive.
Sincerely,
Ana Rodrigues

I need the first three paragraphs of a blog post about why using random encounters in RPG dungeons can make them more interesting. Focus on how it can make failing checks - like listening at doors, opening locks, etc. - more impactful. Contrast this with other methods for making these dice rolls meaningful. 300 words maximum.
|
Sometimes in tabletop roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons, rolling the dice feels a little pointless. Does the rogue open the door? Well, not that time, but they can just try again, right? Do they hear anything on the other side? Maybe not yet, but more time could reveal something. They have all the time in the world, right?
If you're rolling for a random encounter each round, they may not have all that much time to work with. If the rogue doesn't open the door, they might have to contend with a wandering monster. The possibility of an additional threat adds weight to every die roll, decision, and delay. There are other ways to do this, of course. Some GMs let the roll stand and don't allow retries. Some allow only those characters who are skilled in a task to perform it, and if they fail, that's it. But those usually require hard rulings on the part of the DM.
Using random encounters is a very natural way to create tension and make every failed die roll matter. In this article, we'll dive into exactly how random encounters accomplish this. It all comes down to encouraging players to make decisions on how much time they really want to spend rolling the dice on a given task.

Present the above information as a dramatic news report.
The private Japanese moon lander Hakuto-R crashed in late April during its milestone landing attempt because its onboard altitude sensor got confused by the rim of a lunar crater.
Representatives of Tokyo-based company ispace, which built the spacecraft, revealed that the unexpected terrain feature led the lander's onboard computer to decide that its altitude measurement was wrong and rely instead on a calculation based on its expected altitude at that point in the mission. As a result, the computer was convinced the probe was lower than it actually was, which led to the crash on April 25.
"While the lander estimated its own altitude to be zero, or on the lunar surface, it was later determined to be at an altitude of approximately 5 kms [3.1 miles] above the lunar surface," ispace said in a statement released on Friday (May 26). "After reaching the scheduled landing time, the lander continued to descend at a low speed until the propulsion system ran out of fuel. At that time, the controlled descent of the lander ceased, and it is believed to have free-fallen to the moon's surface."
The company said in a briefing that an insufficient consideration of terrain topography around the landing side contributed to the failure, partly due to a landing site change several months prior to the mission's liftoff.
The lander, which launched in December 2022 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, was to land on April 26 on the floor of the 54-mile-wide (87 km) Atlas Crater in the Mare Frigoris ("Sea of Cold") region of the moon's near side. Earlier this week, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spotted the Hakuto-R wreckage near the intended landing site.
If successful, Hakuto-R would have been the first privately operated moon lander to accomplish a lunar landing. So far, only NASA, China and Russia have soft-landed spacecraft on the moon's surface.
Ispace stressed that the mission successfully completed eight of its nine mission milestones and only failed in the final stages of its powered descent. The mishap, the company's representatives said, will not affect the planned launches of ispace's second and third missions in 2024 and 2025, respectively.

In a significant setback to the private space sector, the Japanese moon lander Hakuto-R found itself hurtling to an untimely end on the lunar surface due to an unfortunate mishap with its altitude sensor. This catastrophic event transpired in late April during its landmark landing attempt when the sensor, confused by the lip of a lunar crater, led the lander into a fatal nosedive.
The spacecraft's creators, the Tokyo-based company ispace, uncovered the harsh reality of this unfortunate event, pinpointing an unanticipated topographical feature as the culprit. The onboard computer of the moon lander, thrown off by the unexpected terrain, had erroneously dismissed the altitude readings. Instead, it relied on a pre-calculated estimate of its altitude relevant to the mission timeline. Consequently, the computer believed the spacecraft was closer to the moon than its actual position, resulting in the disastrous crash on April 25.
According to an ispace statement released on Friday (May 26), "The lander gauged its altitude as zero, interpreting it to be on the lunar surface, only to later establish that it was, in reality, hovering approximately 5 km [3.1 miles] above the lunar surface." The descent continued to post the expected landing time until the propulsion system depleted, causing a loss of controlled descent. It's believed to have fallen freely to the moon's surface after that.
Ispace acknowledged during a press briefing that a lack of adequate consideration for the surrounding terrain of the landing site factored into the mission's downfall. A late switch in the landing site, just months before the mission's liftoff, was identified as a contributing factor.
The Hakuto-R, which had launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in December 2022, aimed to touch down in the 54-mile-wide (87 km) Atlas Crater in the moon's Mare Frigoris ("Sea of Cold") region. However, a recent sighting by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter revealed the wreckage of the Hakuto-R near its intended landing site.
This mission had it has been successful, would have crowned Hakuto-R as the first privately-owned moon lander to achieve a lunar landing. Until now, only NASA, China, and Russia have managed to land spacecraft softly on the moon.
Ispace assured that despite this misfortune, the mission managed to fulfill eight out of nine of its objectives. The firm further stated that the unfortunate event would not hamper the scheduled launches of their second and third missions in 2024 and 2025, respectively.

Rewrite this in the style of Dr. Seuss.
I was six when my mother taught me the art of invisible strength. It was a strategy for winning arguments,
respect from others, and eventually, though neither of us knew it at the time, chess games.
"Bite back your tongue," scolded my mother when I cried loudly, yanking her hand toward the store that sold
bags of salted plums. At home, she said, "Wise guy, he not go against wind. In Chinese we say, Come from
South, blow with wind-poom!-North will follow. Strongest wind cannot be seen."
The next week I bit back my tongue as we entered the store with the forbidden candies. When my mother finished
her shopping, she quietly plucked a small bag of plums from the rack and put it on the counter with the rest of the
items. ,
My mother imparted her daily truths so she could help my older brothers and me rise above our circumstances.
We lived in. San Francisco's Chinatown. Like most of the other Chinese children who played in the back alleys of
restaurants and curio shops, I didn't think we were poor. My bowl was always full, three five-course meals every
day, beginning with a soup of mysterious things I didn't want to know the names of.
We lived on Waverly Place, in a warm, clean, two-bedroom flat that sat above a small Chinese bakery
specializing in steamed pastries and dim sum. In the early morning, when the alley was still quiet, I could smell
fragrant red beans as they were cooked down to a pasty sweetness. By daybreak, our flat was heavy with the odor
of fried sesame balls and sweet curried chicken crescents. From my bed, I would listen as my father got ready for
work, then locked the door behind him, one-two-three clicks.
At the end of our two-block alley was a small sandlot playground with swings and slides well-shined down the
middle with use. The play area was bordered by wood-slat benches where old-country people sat cracking roasted
watermelon seeds with their golden teeth and scattering the husks to an impatient gathering of gurgling pigeons.
The best playground, however, was the dark alley itself. It was crammed with daily mysteries and adventures. My
brothers and I would peer into the medicinal herb shop, watching old Li dole out onto a stiff sheet of white paper
the right amount of insect shells, saffron-colored seeds, and pungent leaves for his ailing customers. It was said
that he once cured a woman dying of an ancestral curse that had eluded the best of American doctors. Next to the
pharmacy was a printer who specialized in gold-embossed wedding invitations and festive red banners.
|
Once upon a time, in the streets of Chinatown,
Lived a girl named Mei, who wore an invisible crown.
Her mother was wise and shared a secret art,
Of invisible strength that would set Mei apart.
"Bite back your tongue," her mother would say,
When frustrations arose in the heat of the day.
"In Chinese we say, 'Come from South, blow with wind—
Poom! North will follow!' Let your calmness rescind."
Inspired by her mother's wisdom, Mei decided to try,
The art of invisible strength, reaching for the sky.
In a store filled with candies, she held her tongue,
Observing quietly as her mother's shopping was done.
With a bag of plums, discreetly added in tow,
Her mother showed Mei the strength not to show.
Though they lived humbly in Chinatown's embrace,
Their two-bedroom flat was a cozy, warm space.
Above a bakery, fragrant scents filled the air,
Sesame balls and curried chicken crescents so fair.
The sandlot playground nearby was a place of delight,
With swings and slides shining oh so bright.
But Mei and her brothers found true adventure,
In the dark alleyways, where mysteries would venture.
They witnessed the wonders of the herb shop's lore,
And a printer crafting invitations, oh so much more.
They cracked watermelon seeds, feeding pigeons with glee,
While learning from elders about their community.
Mei's mother taught her lessons that would endure,
To face life's challenges with patience and allure.

I have a basic python server, code snippet is below. I want to try accessing it programmatically via javascript and a web browser. First of all, I just want to link a javascript button and have it make a request to the python server to fetch an HTML page.
import socket
server_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
server_address = ('localhost', 8000)
server_socket.bind(server_address)
server_socket.listen(1)
|
Sure, I can help you with that. First, we'll create an HTML skeleton and a button to initiate a GET request.
window.addEventListener('load', function() {
main();
});
function main() {
const htmlSkel = `
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Python/JavaScript Fetch Test</h1>
<button id="goButton">Load HTML</button>
<div id="html-container"></div>
</body>
</html>
`;
const parentDiv = document.createElement("div");
parentDiv.innerHTML = htmlSkel;
document.body.appendChild(parentDiv);
function loadHTML() {
fetch('http://localhost:8000/html-file') // send a request to the html-file endpoint
.then(response => response.text())
.then(html => {
document.querySelector('#html-container').innerHTML = html; // insert the htm into the page
});
}
const buttonListener = document.getElementById("goButton")
buttonListener.addEventListener("click", function(){
loadHTML()
})}
Next, we'll modify the Python server to handle requests to the /html-file endpoint.
import socket
server_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
server_address = ('localhost', 8000)
server_socket.bind(server_address)
server_socket.listen(1)
while True:
client_socket, client_address = server_socket.accept()
data = client_socket.recv(1024)
if data:
message = data.decode()
# watch for a GET request to /html-file
if message.startswith("GET /html-file"):
with open("index.html", 'r') as f:
html = f.read()
response = "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n" \
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *\r\n" \
f"Content-Length: {len(html)}\r\n" \
"Content-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n" \
f"{html}"
client_socket.sendall(response.encode())
client_socket.close()
In the Javascript code, we have associated the function loadHTML() with a button click event. The loadHTML() function sends a GET request to the /html-file endpoint, which is handled by the Python code. The Python code reads in a file named index.html and sends its contents back to the calling function, which inserts it into the page. This code assumes the presence of an index.html file in the same directory as the server code, so you may need to modify the code if your HTML file has a different name or location.

Classify this review as either positive, negative, or both. Explain your reasoning.
Review:
"I finally had enough of Samsungs horrible customer service so I took my pre-ordered $1595.00 faulty Galaxy s-23 ultra I purchased to replace my last faulty never fixed S-21 ultra. I returned it after 8 hours of dealing with a malfunctioning upper speaker and purchased this Pixel 7 pro 512G for $875 almost half the cost and got twice the phone.
I have been with the Galaxy S series since they came out. Each time their phones got worse and prices got higher. Their customer service was by far the worse when I purchased their S-23 Ultra. I got fed up and returned it and tried a new phone for the first time since BlackBerry. I wish I would have done this sooner. This is no BlackBerry but it is way easier and much better than my last 7 Samsungs. Transferring Android to Android was not as easy as everyone says it is. It may be the same operating system but Samsung has a lot of built-in apps to keep you prisoner to their systems. However, I was comfortable with older s-7 and earlier technology. They sell you new phones but do not say you need to learn the newer technology which was a problem with Samsung. Take the time to set up this new pixel 7 to today's technology the way you want it and you will not regret it. I made voice notifications for every app. So instead of a noise that gets lost in several apps, I get each app called out. Just one thing that made this phone so much better. Battery life is much longer. Google has my entire network life and ties in perfectly with a Google phone. Not to mention they write Android software to begin with."
|
Both positive and negative. The review contains elements of both positive and negative sentiments, with a negative sentiment toward Samsung and a positive sentiment toward the Pixel 7 Pro.

What is a pace bowler in cricket, and how fast can pace bowlers deliver the ball?
|
Pace balling is also called fast balling. The bowler delivers the ball with speed through the air so that any movement through the air (in-swing, out-swing, reverse swing) or deviation of the pitch makes it difficult for the batsman to compensate in time.
Pace bowlers can:
1. Change the pace of the delivery: even slight variations in pace can significantly increase the difficulty for a Batman.
2. Swing the ball: competent bowlers can swing the ball in from left to right (in-swing); or out from right to left (outswing) or deploy reverse swing ( the ball moves in the opposite direction to expectations) using an older ball.
3. Yorker: an ideal yorker is delivered at full length to bounce (pitch) under the bat (or foot line) of a Batman.
4. Bouncer: these delivers are balled at high speeds to bounce in the first half of the pitch, which makes them rise steeply. This makes it difficult for the batsman to track the ball and they may resort to trying to evade it in order not to get hit in the chest or face.
There are countless other variations available to a pace baller.
The quickest pace bowlers bowl in the high 90mph range and express bowlers, like Shoaib Akhtar has bowled at 100.2mph.

Summarize in one sentence how old coal mines could heat homes without burning fossil fuels.
In a cavernous warehouse on the outskirts of Gateshead, north-east England, cases upon cases of wine tower into the distance. You might think that keeping these towering stacks of alcohol at a comfortable ambient temperature year round would lead to a mind-boggling energy bill – especially through the unforgiving north-east winters.
But, as is the case for a small but growing number of buildings in Gateshead, this is not so.
The warehouse sits above the remnants of old, flooded mine workings, deep below the surface. These old mines, which will never return coal to the surface again, are now producing another resource that, ironically, can help us emit less carbon, not more: geothermal heat.
In this part of England, with its long and complex history of mining coal, long-closed mines are being repurposed as an enormous, clean source of heat. And this warehouse is just the start. A new district heating system in Gateshead is poised to begin warming homes and buildings in the area at a cost 5% below market rate, using the clean heat from its mines 150m (490ft) below the ground.
Join me in the fourth episode of Future Planet's new video series, New Directions, where we visit the warehouse and a nearby mine water treatment plant, to explore how the skeletons of disused mines can provide sustainable heating.

Why are there added sugars and total sugars on my nutrition label?
|
When reading your label, seeing both "added sugars" and "total sugars" might seem redundant. "Added sugars" are sugars that are literally added to foods and drinks during processing or packaged as sweeteners, such as table sugar, syrups, honey, or concentrated fruit or vegetable juices. Naturally occurring sugars, such as those found in milk, fruits, and vegetables, are not considered added sugars so they are not listed here. The natural sugars are instead reflected in "total sugars." In order to calculate the number of natural sugars, subtract the added sugars from the total sugars.

I am working on a programming prompt, I want you to give me a general approach to solving it. Like a step-by-step process. I don't want you to provide the actual code, just the steps or things to think about when solving it.
Here is the prompt for the question:
You are given a string of words and numbers. Extract the expression including:
1. the operator: either addition ("gains") or subtraction ("loses")
2. the two numbers that we are operating on
Return the result of the calculation.
Notes:
"loses" and "gains" are the only two words describing operators
No fruit debts nor bitten apples = The numbers are integers and no negatives
"Panda has 48 apples and loses 4" --> 44
"Jerry has 34 apples and gains 6" --> 40
|
This problem is primarily a word processing problem. Here are the steps and things you should keep in mind while solving this problem.
1.) Think about how you are going to split up the input to parse the data.
2.) What are the keywords you are looking for? The only operators you are looking for are "gains" and "loses".
3.) How will you extract the numbers after you have split the input?
Keep in mind also the order of the numbers, as the input cannot be negative.
Hope this helps, let me know if you need more help.

In short, what does creating zones do for a home? Use this text:
Create Zones
Zoned living room
Jenny Davis
Native New Yorker and designer Jenny Davis knows a thing or two about small space living is her thing, learning make her home work for her growing family.
"Creating zones within a room can make it look and feel bigger, as long as it’s done right," she says. "Placing furniture perpendicular to or off the wall is a great way to do this. I’ve used this tactic in our kids’ bedroom where I floated a table in the back of the room to define and anchor the art area. And, in the living room, I use a toy hub to divide the kids’ play area and our living room, and it has an open back so it doesn’t minimize light or how far the eye can see.
Davis says that creating zones can help you make the most of your space, no matter the size, as well as making your home look and feel bigger.

Creating zones can utilize the space for different needs and make the room feel bigger.

I need six hard-hitting questions to ask an American love and dating Youtuber with traditional/conservative values. Any ideas?
|
1. When you look at dynamics between men and women today, do you see an imbalance between one side or another in terms of who holds most of the power writ large? Which group would it be generally and why?
2. Do you think the traditional, conservative dating lifestyle would exist as it had/has in America in the absence of its Christian roots? Do you think it’s natural for America to abandon some of those more traditional values as we start to shift away from other traditions?
3. As a culture, what are we doing that influences the dating market for everyone in a negative way? What can we do to correct it?
4. Involuntary celibates have become a hot topic recently, and a stereotype has started to form wherein these individuals are seen as often responsible for tragedies such as mass shootings. Is there any truth to this claim? Why? What do you think shapes this stereotype?
5. Do you think the roles of men and women in relationships are predetermined by their gender to some degree? If so, to what degree? Why?
6. If you had to give one piece of advice to people who can’t seem to find a partner no matter how hard they try, what would it be?

What are some key benefits of using digital products such as fitness applications for dietitians?
|
Dieticians can benefit from using high-tech, digital advancements. Applications that can help us keep track of our fitness goals to the amount of water we drink each day help dietitians encourage their patients to convert to a healthier lifestyle. Another benefit of digital apps for nutritionists is recommending and sharing resources such as eBooks with their clients.
Digital apps that are free or low-cost can help lower the cost of treatment for both providers and their clients. There are numerous tools and resources available to download to your smart device that can cut down on the time spent in an office setting. It can also help providers decrease the number of instructions, forms, and guides they need to print out for their clients. At the same time, clients have access to an abundance of helpful information from applications suggested by their dietitians and decrease their number of in-office appointments, helping to lower their healthcare and commuting costs.
Additionally, when clients can use apps to keep track of their weight loss, calories, and other nutrition or fitness habits on their smartphone, it makes it much easier for them to send the data to their dietician. For instance, diabetic nutritionists and healthcare providers can access blood glucose levels and other information with apps such as Medtronic's CarelinkTM Connect or the Follow app by Dexcom. Some of these programs can even be set up to automatically send information to the provider periodically, making it even easier for the provider to keep up with their patient's healthcare needs.
Now that you know more about the benefits dieticians can gain from digital tools, you can start researching these products and recommend them to your clients. With so many options to choose from, you can find several apps or programs that suit the needs of each of your clients and help create a digitalized diet plan for them to follow.

10 empty chip bags,
9 broken pencils,
8 candy wrappers,
7 stacks of comics,
6 trucks with no wheels,
5 molded sandwiches,
4 wrinkled T-shirts,
3 odd shoes,
2 trading cards,
And a yellow sock with a toe hole!

Help me plan some things to do in Branson with my family of 5. We love animal and shows. My kids are 10, 13, and 16 so nothing too immature, but also nothing inappropriate for kids and families. I'd like a mix of indoor and outdoor options because I don't know what the weather will be like. Also, give me a few different price points - I'm willing to spend some extra money if its something I think my family will enjoy, but I'm not a millionaire.

Got it, here are some things you and your family could do in Branson:
- OLD TIME PHOTO: Talk about a great way to create memories, Old Time Photo offers hours of entertainment and keepsake photos of your fun!

- PROMISED LAND ZOO: Since your family enjoys animals, consider visiting the Promised Land Zoo where you can even feed the birds. It's been voted one of the top 25 zoos in the country, and admission ranges from $14.95 - $21.95.
-REZA: EDGE OF ILLUSION: If you're looking for a family-friendly show to see on your trip, consider Reza: Edge of Illusion. The jaw-dropping tricks are unforgettable and considered worth the price at $13 for ages 4-11 and $35.99 for ages 12 and up.
- DOLLY PARTON'S STAMPEDE: This dinner and show combo is quite popular with visitors. You'll enjoy a delicious meal and marvel at the exciting horse show. Prices range from about $30 - $55 a person.
- AMAZING ACROBATS OF SHANGHAI: Here's another family show to consider, the Amazing Acrobats of Shanghai dazzle the audience with their costumes, stunts, and pizzazz! Admission prices are $20 - $40 and military discounts are available.
