Icey winter night
tree covered with feather ice
moonlight pale casts light
your soft lips covering mine
and my heart begins to thaw

PHILADELPHIA -- As Celtics star Jayson Tatum went through one of the worst shooting slumps of his career through the first three quarters of Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, he continued to get reassuring messages from up and down the Boston sideline.
"Keep going," Celtics costar Jaylen Brown said. "They can't guard you."
"Let him know that he is that guy," Celtics center Al Horford said. "And he's special."
"I love you," coach Joe Mazzulla said.
Yet, Tatum admitted to feeling frustrated in the midst of a 1-of-13 slump at the start of the fourth quarter, unable to hit shots with the Celtics on the brink of elimination Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers. But he kept looking up at the game clock, reminding himself that he still had time to make a difference.
|
- Jayson Tatum was having a bad shooting night, but his teammates and coaches kept encouraging him.
- Tatum was 1-of-13 from the field through the first 3 quarters of the game.
- His teammates and coaches told him he was still the best player on the court and to keep going.
- Tatum eventually broke out of his slump and helped the Celtics win the game.

Create a python script that, when given a set of x and y data points, provides a linear regression and curve fit. then displays the curve.
|
No problem! Here is code that provides linear regression of a set of data points and performs a curve fit to the data:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Generate sample data
x_data = np.linspace(0, 10, 50)
y_data = 2 * x_data + 1 + np.random.normal(0, 1, size=x_data.shape)
# Perform linear regression
regression_params = np.polyfit(x_data, y_data, 1)
# Perform curve fitting
fit_params = np.polyfit(x_data, y_data, 2)
# Generate points for the fitted curve
x_fit = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
y_fit = np.polyval(fit_params, x_fit)
# Plot the original data, regression line, and fitted curve
plt.scatter(x_data, y_data, label='Data')
plt.plot(x_data, np.polyval(regression_params, x_data), 'r-', label='Linear Regression')
plt.plot(x_fit, y_fit, 'g-', label='Curve Fit')
plt.xlabel('x')
plt.ylabel('y')
plt.legend()
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()
Here we can see example data points x and y data being created by creating two arrays of random numbers, then both the curve fitting and linear regression using the function "np.polyfit". Finally, the code displays the results using "matploit.pyplot" as "plt".

Write me the interaction of a hero who learns that the villain is them from the future who time-traveled back to the present. Make sure to include some elements of magic and make it in a civil war setting. I want the hero to be trapped by the villain, and is talking to them through a prison cell. Make it in the perspective of the hero. This is supposed to be in the middle of a story, so don't bother with introducing her or the setting, it is assumed that those were introduced earlier in the story. Make sure to keep it PG as the audience is meant to be children.
|
It's been about a week since I was captured by the enemy. They sealed my magic away and I feel my strength deteriorating. Am I gonna die in this cell? I hope someone rescues me soon.
"Hello," says a mysterious woman.
"Who are you?" I reply. I didn't even detect her presence.
"I am you," she says.
"What?" I question. "How can you be me? I am me; there is no other me."
"I came from the future. I am here to make sure the rebellion wins," she states.
I can't believe this. How can she say that she is me? Does time travel exist? I've heard of time-stopping magic, but that is incredibly rare and widely considered a myth. Although taking a closer look at her, I guess I can see some resemblances. NO! I can't just nonchalantly believe she is me! This must be some trick.
"I want you to join me," interrupts the mysterious woman. "I know this is a lot to handle right now, but I can assure you that I am you. I even know your deepest darkest secret that you peed yourself until you were fourteen!"
"What," I reply, still in shock. "There's no way, who told you? Was it my childhood friend Fred? I knew he wouldn't keep his mouth shut after I told his parents that he was sneaking out of his room while he was grounded."
"Ah Fred, I loved Fred. No, he didn't tell on you. I know because I am you," insists the mysterious woman.
"I still don't believe you, I can never believe the obvious lie that you are me from the future," I assert, still trying to get a hold of this situation. She can't be me! I fight for the kingdom, not some sort of rebellion! There is no way I would switch sides! No, this must be a lie. I just have to stay true to what I know. I will get out of this situation eventually. Right?
"Well, I remember it taking a little while for you to trust me, I guess I will leave you to reflect a little. I'll be back tomorrow. I hope you will be more trusting of me" she says, before leaving me in my prison cell.

Summarize the history of the Kilmaleery in three sentences.
The name of the parish implies an ecclesiastical origin, but nothing is known of the patron saint. As of 1897 the church was very dilapidated. There is one holy well, Tobar Mailiaraidh, and a lios or small ringfort called Knockadoon.[3] As of 1837 the parish was part of the Catholic union of Newmarket, and had a chapel at Carrigeary.[4] In 1841 the population was 737 in 104 houses.[2]
There were three castle, very well preserved in 1897. In 1580 Urlan was inhabited by Murtagh MacClancy and Bodavoher was the property of Donagh MacClancy. Clenagh is not mentioned in list of the Castles of Thomond for that year. Clenagh Castle, still almost intact, was a high square tower that was once the residence of the MacMahons.
|
Though this small parish's name hints at a churchly origin, there is no information on the named saint. With one holy well, a small ringfort, and one church, it has remained small, with the reported population in 1841 being only 737 people across 104 houses. In the last report, dated 1897, the three castles were fairly well preserved, although the church was very run-down.

Write a song about spring. Each verse should have only four lines. Each chorus should have five. Make sure it rhymes. I only want there to be two verses and then one chorus after each verse.
|
Verse:
Springtime has come and with it new life
I wish I could say that it came without strife
The trees all have leaves and the flowers may bloom
But the rain will pour down and it will bring doom
Chorus:
I wish to be happy, I wish to be sad
And for all the sunshine, I know I am glad
Winter has come and winter has gone
From the dark night comes a new dawn
The winter brought death, we now spring to life
Verse:
Springtime is ending, the sun will burn down
The grass is less green, the birds make less sound
I remember it well, the clouds brought me pain
Now I don't miss the sunshine, but I do miss the rain
Chorus:
I wish to be happy, I wish to be sad
And for all the sunshine, I know I am glad
Winter has come and winter has gone
From the dark night comes a new dawn
The winter brought death, we now spring to life

Can you write a short story about a man discovering a bird that can talk? Write it in first person.
|
I was just sitting on my back steps having a beer, thinking about not thinking about work.
Then I heard this voice: "Get in my beak, worm!"
I stiffened, and instinctively asked, "Huh?"
"I wasn't talking to you," it replied.
I looked around trying to figure out where the person was and why they were talking about having a beak. Finally, I realized I'd have to get up. As I got near a tree, I heard softer muttering above me, "That's alright, there are caterpillars up here."
"Who are you?" I ask. "What are you?"
The voice raised again, "Still talking to me? I'm a bird, alright?"
"Oh! How do you talk?" I looked up into the tree, trying to see it. I did kind of make out part of its featheriness.
It turned around, and I could see it clearly, a Robin. A real Robin, like one I've seen countless times. "I don't know. How do you?"
I shrugged. "Well, I don't know. I just have never seen a talking bird before. Heard."
It looked at me with frustration, but not surprise, "So, you assume we can't?"

Rewrite the article as if it's written by someone remembering the events of the past.
The trend started, as so many do, on TikTok. Amazon customers, watching packages arrive through Ring doorbell devices, asked the people making the deliveries to dance for the camera. The workers—drivers for “Earth’s most customer-centric company” and therefore highly vulnerable to customer ratings—complied. The Ring owners posted the videos. “I said bust a dance move for the camera and he did it!” read one caption, as an anonymous laborer shimmied, listlessly. Another customer wrote her request in chalk on the path leading up to her door. DO A DANCE, the ground ordered, accompanied by a happy face and the word SMILE. The driver did as instructed. His command performance received more than 1.3 million likes.
Watching that video, I did what I often do when taking in the news these days: I stared in disbelief, briefly wondered about the difference between the dystopian and the merely weird, and went about my business. But I kept thinking about those clips, posted by customers who saw themselves as directors and populated by people who, in the course of doing one job, had been stage-managed into another.
Dystopias often share a common feature: Amusement, in their skewed worlds, becomes a means of captivity rather than escape. George Orwell’s 1984 had the telescreen, a Ring-like device that surveilled and broadcast at the same time. The totalitarian regime of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 burned books, yet encouraged the watching of television. Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World described the “feelies”—movies that, embracing the tactile as well as the visual, were “far more real than reality.” In 1992, Neal Stephenson’s sci-fi novel Snow Crash imagined a form of virtual entertainment so immersive that it would allow people, essentially, to live within it. He named it the metaverse.

Remember TikTok? It was so long ago. We used to all receive our packages and wait patiently looking through those old camera lenses provided by Ring. The videos were such a blast when the deliveries would involve dancing for the camera. The delivery drivers for "Earth's most customer-centric company" were forced into compliance by their customer ratings, and they did whatever it took to satisfy. The drivers would dance for the camera and take on whatever was asked of them while the Rings owners posted the videos. One laborer shimmied lifelessly as if he had had no other choice. Another Amazon customer requested the driver to DO A DANCE and wanted the driver to SMILE. This received 1.3 million likes, a relic of prestige from the digital age.
I remembered the dystopian past, where the lines between true terror and simply being strange, but I did what I had to, and went back to my business. The customers of the past felt they were directors of people who were supposedly delivery drivers, turned into the court jester for the technology we call the Internet.
Like past dystopias, amusement in the TikTok era became a means of captivity. The telescreen of George Orwell's 1984 was just like the Ring device that surveilled and broadcast video at the same time. I can recall books being burned in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, but watching television was encouraged. Aldous Huxley's Brave New World described "feelies" movies that were more than just visual, they were tactile as well, and described as "far more real than reality." Neal Stephenson's sci-fi novel Snow Crash written in 1992 described a virtual world so immersive it would allow people to live within it. It was called the metaverse.

There once was a girl named Sara who always loved to be kind to people. That's why everyone loved her! One day, there was a grumpy older man that was yelling at the kids for going on his lawn. Everyone thought this man was very mean and the kids would make fun of him. The kids didn't know it was because the man was hurting inside and just needed a little bit of kindness. Sara walked up to the porch and sat down next to the old man and she started talking to him.

Please summarize the following article in a couple of sentences.
Former Florida Democratic candidate for governor Andrew Gillum, who came within a whisker of defeating Republican Ron DeSantis in 2018, was acquitted Thursday of lying to the FBI in a corruption case that also involved illegal use of campaign contributions.
But the federal jury hung on charges that Gillum funneled tens of thousands of dollars in campaign money to personal accounts. Prosecutors said they will retry him on those counts. They had claimed Gillum was struggling financially after quitting his $120,000-a-year job with the People for the American Way group to run for governor.

Rewrite the main family as aliens trying to blend in with humans
“The All-American Slurp”
by Lensey Namioka
The first time our family was invited out to dinner in America, we disgraced ourselves
while eating celery. We had emigrated to this country from China, and during our early days here
we had a hard time with American table manners.
In China we never ate celery raw or any other kind of vegetable raw. We always had to
disinfect the vegetables in boiling water first. When we were presented with our first relish tray,
the raw celery caught us unprepared.
We had been invited to dinner by our neighbors, the Gleasons. After arriving at the
house, we shook hands with our hosts and packed ourselves into a sofa. As our family of four sat
stiffly in a row, my younger brother and I stole glances at our parents for a clue as to what to do
next.
Mrs. Gleason offered the relish tray to Mother. The tray looked pretty, with its tiny red
radishes, curly sticks of carrots, and long, slender stalks of pale green celery. “Do try some of the
celery, Mrs. Lin,” she said. “It’s from a local farmer, and it’s sweet.”
Mother picked up one of the green stalks, and Father followed suit. Then I picked up a
stalk, and my brother did too. So there we sat, each with a stalk of celery in our right hand.
Mrs. Gleason kept smiling. “Would you like to try some of the dip,
Mrs. Lin? It’s my own recipe: sour cream and onion flakes, with a
dash of Tabasco sauce.”
Most Chinese don’t care for dairy products, and in those
days I wasn’t even ready to drink fresh milk. Sour cream sounded
perfectly revolting. Our family shook our heads in unison.
Mrs. Gleason went off with the relish tray to the other guests, and
we carefully watched to see what they did. Everyone seemed to eat
the raw vegetables quite happily.
Mother took a bite of her celery. Crunch. “It’s not bad!”
she whispered.
Father took a bite of his celery. Crunch. “Yes, it is good,”
he said, looking surprised.
I took a bite, and then my brother. Crunch, crunch. It was
more than good; it was delicious. Raw celery has a slight sparkle, a
zingy taste that you don’t get in cooked celery. When Mrs. Gleason came around with the relish
tray, we each took another stalk of celery, except my brother. He took two.
There was only one problem: long strings ran through the length of the stalk, and they got
caught in my teeth. When I help my mother in the kitchen, I always pull the strings out before
slicing celery.
I pulled the strings out of my stalk. Z-z-zip, z-z-zip. My brother followed suit. Z-z-zip, z-zzip. To my left, my parents were taking care of their own stalks. Z-z-zip, z-z-zip, z-z-zip.
Suddenly I realized that there was dead silence except for our zipping. Looking up, I saw that the
eyes of everyone in the room were on our family. Mr. and Mrs. Gleason, their daughter Meg,
who was my friend, and their neighbors the Badels—they were all staring at us as we busily
pulled the strings off our celery.
That wasn’t the end of it. Mrs. Gleason announced that dinner was served and invited us
to the dining table. It was lavishly covered with platters of food, but we couldn’t see any chairs
around the table. So we helpfully carried over some dining chairs and sat down. All the other
guests just stood there. Mrs. Gleason bent down and whispered to us, “This is a buffet dinner.
You help yourselves to some food and eat it in the living room.”
Our family beat a retreat back to the sofa as if chased by enemy soldiers. For the rest of
the evening, too mortified to go back to the dining table, I nursed a bit of potato salad on my
plate.

The first time our family was invited out to dinner on Earth, we disgraced ourselves while eating celery. We had arrived on Earth from our home planet, and during our early days here, we had a hard time with human table manners.
Back on our planet, we never ate celery raw or any other kind of vegetable raw. We always had to disinfect the vegetables in a special alien solution first. When we were presented with our first relish tray on Earth, the raw celery caught us unprepared.
We had been invited to dinner by our human neighbors, the Gleasons. After arriving at their house, we tentatively shook hands with our hosts and squeezed ourselves onto a sofa. As our alien family of four sat stiffly in a row, my younger alien sibling and I stole glances at our alien parents for a clue on what to do next.
Mrs. Gleason offered the relish tray to my mother. The tray looked intriguing, with its tiny red radishes, curly sticks of carrots, and long, slender stalks of pale green celery. "Do try some of the celery, Mrs. Lin," she said. "It's from a local farmer, and it's supposed to be tasty."

Mrs. Gleason kept smiling. "Would you like to try some of the dip, Mrs. Lin? It's my own recipe: sour cream and onion flakes, with a dash of Tabasco sauce."
As aliens, we were not accustomed to consuming dairy products, and in those early Earth days, we weren't even ready to drink fresh milk. Sour cream sounded utterly repulsive to us. Our alien family shook our heads in unison.
Mrs. Gleason went off with the relish tray to serve the other guests, and we carefully observed what they did. Everyone seemed to eat the raw vegetables quite happily.
My mother took a bite of her celery. Crunch. "It's not bad!" she whispered.
My father took a bite of his celery. Crunch. "Yes, it is good," he said, looking surprised.
I took a bite, and then my sibling. Crunch, crunch. It was more than good; it was strangely delicious. Raw celery had a unique flavor, a zingy taste that we didn't encounter with cooked celery. When Mrs. Gleason came around with the relish tray again, we each took another stalk of celery, except my sibling. They took two.
However, there was one problem: long strings ran through the length of the stalk, and they got caught in our alien teeth. When I assist my mother in the kitchen, I always remove the strings before slicing celery.

All the other human guests just stood there, puzzled. Mrs. Gleason bent down and whispered to us, "This is a buffet dinner. You help yourselves to some food and eat it in the living room."
Feeling embarrassed and out of place, our family quickly retreated back to the sofa as if fleeing from danger. For the rest of the evening, too mortified to return to the dining table, I awkwardly nibbled on a bit of potato salad on my plate, trying my best to blend in with the human guests.

Write the introduction to a short story about a man who wakes up, only to find that he's been abducted by aliens. Make it slightly ominous in tone.
|
I wake to a pounding headache. There is a blinding light shining over me and my legs feel like water -- I don't think that I could walk if I wanted to. A sudden noise startles me but when I try to sit up, I'm so dizzy that I immediately collapse back to the floor. My back feels damp and when I run my hand along the side of my body, it's covered in a thick, sticky green goo. Where am I?
I realize quickly that I'm exposed and decided that I need to find shelter as quickly as possible. Again, I try to sit up, this going slow and giving myself time to adjust. The light above me is so bright, but beyond the halo it casts, I can't see a thing.
Slowly, slowly I crawl to my knees and then stand up, taking care not to slip on the mysterious substance that is now covering my feet. I look down and realize that they are bare. My clothes, too, are gone, and I see that I'm wearing a tunic and loose pants made from the same rough, off-white material. It's rough on my skin.
I hear the noise again and it startles me so that I almost slip. I take a hesitant step and, inexplicably, the light stays exactly overhead. Suddenly, a voice.
"Gwarsishmake Lupadongazhu." The words are gibberish to me, but they're everywhere, seeming to be coming from my own brain and enveloping me all at once. The light shuts off and it's completely dark.
I stand still, letting my eyes adjust. After a few minutes, I see a silhouette in front of me. Whatever it is, it's giant. And it has three heads.

Write a letter from someone named Kelly. It needs to be a love letter as well as a goodbye letter but she needs to explain why her and this character, John, can't be together. The reason they cant be together is because of distance. It needs to be exactly 135 words.
|
Dear John,
My heart aches in ways I can't heal from. I love you so much - more than I love the breath in my lungs and the blood in my veins. You are my safe place in this world. That's why it hurts so much for me to write this to you. The distance is far too much for me to bear. I cannot stand to be alone for so long and without you. It physically hurts that you are so far away. Please try to understand from my perspective - I would devote my entire life to you, but I cannot do so when you are 2,800 miles away. Please forgive and never forget me. I will love you always, until my last draw of breath in this life. Goodbye.
Love,
Kelly

Help me make a long text message to my girlfriend about how much I love her for our 1st anniversary. We have had some up and downs in the past so try to reassure her.
|
Hey [Insert Name], I just wanted to send you a message to appreciate our relationship and tell you how much I love you. It's been a crazy year filled with ups and downs, but I'm glad we got through this together. I just want to say that in the future, we may not see eye to eye every single time, but I hope we go through them just like we have gone through it before. You are my constant source of motivation. You always support me in every situation, and I am grateful that I have you. This past year has been filled with countless memories and adventures, and I'm glad there are many more to come. On this special day, I just wanted to remind you that I love you from the bottom of my heart and thank you for being my partner, my motivation, and my best friend. I cannot wait to see what the future holds.
Happy anniversary, my love. Here's to many more years of happiness and love together.

Write me a texting conversation between two people arguing about whether or not they should do something, but don't say until the end what, exactly, they are talking about. Try to make the subject a surprise. The people are Jack and Jill.
|
Jack: We should.
Jill: We shouldn't.
Jack: It is a great idea, though!
Jill: No. It is gross.
Jack: Says you. I think it is a delicious idea.
Jill: Yes, says me. Feel free to enter by yourself if you think it is such a good idea.
Jack: But I don't want to enter by myself!
Jill: Tough.
Jack: What can't you just do this one thing for me? Please!
Jill: Because, as I've already said, it is gross, and I don't want to get pie up my nose or something.
Jack: Well... now that you mention that, it does sound a little gross, but I don't think that would necessarily happen!
Jill: Jack. It is a pie-eating contest where we won't be allowed to use our hands. The pie is probably going to end up all the way in our hair!

Hello. Turn the facts presented in this article into a cute children's story about a kitten who makes friends with a mouse. Leave a space between the paragraphs.
2. Hunting
Learning how to hunt for food is one of the essential traits for all cats. Luckily, they have this hunting instinct from birth. Nevertheless, kittens still need guidance on hunting, which is what the mother cat teaches them. The kittens learn hunting basics, such as where to find their prey and how to approach them.
Their mother teaches them the tactics of catching prey without making noise to scare them away.
This hunting lesson is taught to all kittens by first bringing a dead mouse. The mother cat then eats it to show it is good to eat a mouse for food. Next, she allows them to play around with a dead mouse and eat with her.
Afterwards, she brings a live mouse and teaches them how to kill it with her assistance.
After a few lessons, she takes them for mice hunting, where she helps the kittens hunt until they can hunt for themselves.

The little gray and white kitten trotted happily in the garden. She felt the warm morning sun on her face and smelled the sweet fresh air. She found a patch of grass in the sunlight and curled up to take a quick nap. She was almost asleep when she heard a rustling sound.
She opened her blue eyes and spied a small white mouse nibbling on some seeds nearby. She carefully crouched into a pounce position without making a sound. She only had one chance to catch the mouse. Then, with lightning speed, she leaped at him.
The mouse looked up just in time to see the kitten coming at him. He let out a shrill "Squeek!" and tried to run away. But the kitten was too fast. She held him securely between her paws and looked at the little mouse. He had soft white fur, little brown eyes and a cute little pink nose. He stared at the kitten, too afraid to speak.
Then, to his surprise, the kitten let him go. She sat up and tilted her head to one side. "Hello," she purred softly.
The mouse stood straight up and then made a gallant bow. "Good morning, Miss Kitty," he said in a quiet tone.
"I'm supposed to catch you and eat you. That's what my momma said I had to do."
The little mouse shook his head sadly. "I implore you, Miss Kitty, please do not make me your breakfast."
"But what should I do with you?" she asked.
The little mouse thought for a moment then smiled. "We could be friends," he suggested. "Would you like to be friends with me?"
The little kitten smiled and nodded her head. "Yes, I would like that very much. I only have my momma to play with since my brothers and sisters were given away. I get lonely sometimes with no one to play with."
The tiny mouse gave her a big smile and held out his paw. "Then friends we shall be!"
The little kitten shook his paw and the two settled down in the grass together. She waited until the little mouse was nestled in her warm fur then contentedly fell asleep with her new friend.

According to this article, what type of cats cannot purr?
On an extremely rare occasion, a mountain lion or a bobcat might still be spotted by a visitor in one of our county parks. Both these wild felines can make a variety of household cat sounds. Baby mountain lions (also called pumas and cougars in different parts of the country) and baby bobcats meow like household kittens. As adults, they growl, hiss and spit when they are displeased. When they are contented, they purr.
Of course a full-grown mountain lion purrs about twenty times louder than that friendly puss who sleeps most of the afternoon at the foot of your bed. Not all kinds of cats can purr. Cats that can roar -- such as tigers, jaguars and African lions -- can not purr. And cats that can purr --such as cougars, bobcats and household tabbies -- can not roar. Until recently, exactly how purring cats managed to purr was a mystery. If you try to purr continuously like a mountain lion or bobcat, you'll quickly discover its impossible for you to do.

Cats that roar, such as African lions, jaguars, and tigers, cannot purr.

My family is wanting to visit Solvang, California and I have been tasked with figuring out what we are going to do during our visit. Can you write a descriptive summary of options of things we can do near Solvang, California?
|
A large part of Solvang, California’s appeal to tourists seems to be the flavorful food offerings from the Danish-inspired cuisine. While in town, consider visiting Olsen’s Danish Village Bakery to sample their danishes, strudel and crispy waffles. Two other popular bakeries in Solvang are Mortensen’s Danish Bakery and The Solvang Bakery. Paula’s Pancake House is a breakfast restaurant with self-proclaimed “WORLD FAMOUS” pancakes that might be worth a try. Solvang Restaurant is a lunch spot, and here you can try aebleskiver, a treat Solvang is known for, a pancake ball covered in powdered sugar and served with raspberry jam.
After getting full of treats, explore Solvang and find all five of the windmills in town. The most well-known windmill can be found by the Solvang Bakery, and it will be easy to spot because tourists are likely to be using it for the background of their photographs.
Another must-see for visitors is to visit The Little Mermaid Fountain. This statue is about half of the size of the original, which can be found in Copenhagen and was sculpted by Edvard Eriksen.
If you are interested in getting some shopping done while you are in town, there are many places worth checking out. For example, The Book Loft presents you with your favorite Scandinavian Literature. Looking for Christmas decorations? Head over to Jule Hus. An interesting option for purchasing souvenirs is the shops of Rasmussen’s and Edelweiss.
For another photo opportunity, visit the giant red clog in front of the Solvang Shoe Store. Another sight worth seeing is one of the original 21 missions built across what is now California starting in the 1700s (with the one in Solvang being founded in 1804).
To see even more history, visit one (or multiple) of the many museums located in Solvang, one of which is the Solvang Vintage Motorcycle Museum. This private collection turned tourist attraction is a must-see for bike enthusiasts. Local Virgil Elings has motorcycles and race bikes on view that date back to as early as 1910.
Finally, check out one of the many live shows that might be going on at the Solvang Festival Theater during your time of visit!

Recreate the above article so it is a little more exciting.
Forty years ago this month, there came a show stopping celestial sight — literally a bolt out of the blue.
A brand-new comet, that for several days made headlines around the world due to its exceptionally close passage near the Earth: A distance amounting to less than 3 million miles (4.8 million km), or about 12 times the distance of the Earth to the moon.
In fact, when the comet was first sighted on April 25, 1983, it was not with human eyes or a telescope , but from a satellite: IRAS, the acronym for InfraRed Astronomical Satellite, launched from the then-Vandenberg Air Force Base the previous January and placed in a 560-mile (900 km) orbit around Earth. The satellite was a joint undertaking by Great Britain, the Netherlands and the United States and was the first space telescope to perform a survey of the entire sky at infrared wavelengths. Its main purpose was to catalog the heat "signatures" of asteroids as well as to observe the processes involved in the birth and death of stars.
When the IRAS satellite picked up on a fast-moving object on April 25, it was first assumed that it was an asteroid. But then, just over a week later on May 3, Japanese amateur astronomer Genichi Araki reported the discovery of a new comet in the constellation of Draco the Dragon to the Tokyo Observatory. This was followed by an observation made by George Alcock, a well-known British comet observer, who was scanning the sky with 15 x 80 binoculars. Amazingly, Alcock — who had previous discovered four other comets — was inside his house and looking through a closed window, when he stumbled across the comet that Araki had sighted just seven hours before!
It soon became more and more apparent that the object that IRAS had discovered, was in reality not an asteroid, but was the very same comet found by both Araki and Alcock. It was thus deemed appropriate to name the comet IRAS-Araki-Alcock. When Araki and Alcock sighted it, the comet was shining at sixth magnitude — the threshold of visibility for someone without using any optical aid under a dark, clear sky.
|
Four decades ago, in the same month, a celestial spectacle stole the show akin to a surprising bolt zapping from the clear blue sky.
A fresh, never-before-seen comet made its striking debut, causing quite a stir worldwide due to its remarkably close encounter with Earth. The comet dared to come less than 3 million miles near to us, roughly twelve times the span between our blue planet and its loyal satellite, the moon.
When this comet was first noticed on April 25, 1983, it wasn't by the keen eyes of human stargazers or their telescopes but by the diligent machine observer in space: IRAS, short for InfraRed Astronomical Satellite. This satellite was the fruit of a collaborative effort between Great Britain, the Netherlands, and the United States. Launched into a 560-mile orbit around Earth from the then-Vandenberg Air Force Base, IRAS was the first space telescope to sweep the entire sky for infrared wavelengths. Its key mission? To map the thermal "fingerprints" of asteroids and scrutinize the life-cycle processes of stars.
On that April day, when IRAS detected a fast-moving celestial object, it was initially assumed to be just another asteroid. But the narrative took a thrilling twist just over a week later. On May 3, Genichi Araki, a Japanese amateur astronomer, reported the sighting of a brand-new comet in the constellation of Draco the Dragon to the Tokyo Observatory. Close on the heels of Araki's discovery, George Alcock, a celebrated British comet observer, confirmed the sighting with his trusty 15 x 80 binoculars. In a remarkable turn of events, Alcock — already credited with four comet discoveries spotted the comet while sitting inside his house, gazing out through a closed window, merely seven hours after Araki's sighting!
As the evidence mounted, it was clear that the object IRAS had found was not an asteroid. Instead, it was the very same comet that Araki and Alcock had identified. As such, the comet was fittingly christened IRAS-Araki-Alcock. When the two observers first caught sight of it, the comet glowed with a sixth-magnitude brightness just about visible to the naked eye under a dark, clear sky.

I'm visiting Las Vegas in a few weeks and would love to visit different places / attractions while I'm there. Please keep in mind that I love art, music, nature, food, and amusement parks. Can you brainstorm a list of things I can do and a little about each?
|
Absolutely! Here's a list of fun things to do in Vegas:
• Las Vegas STRAT Hotel, Casino, & SkyPod: If you're looking for adventure and thrills, you must pay a visit to the infamous Stratosphere; not just any visit though, you'll need to sit down and strap up on some of their scream machines such as the Big Shot and X-Scream. The Big Shot will put you 160ft in the air at 45mph, overlooking the Las Vegas Valley. X-Scream is unlike any other rollercoaster you've ever ridden before, being a massive 866 feet above the ground you'll totter right over the edge of the SkyPod.
• Hoover Dam Tour: When you visit Las Vegas, it is an absolute must that you visit the Hoover Dam. We suggest the Ultimate Hoover Dam Tour from Las Vegas with Lunch as this will be a VIP tour before anyone else even gets to the Dam, giving you full access to it all, and without having to move around tons of people. This will be a 45-minute guided tour learning history about the Hoover Dam, and even stopping at the world-famous "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign to grab yourself a photo or two. Beautiful scenery, history, and a great time all coupled into one activity.
• Las Vegas Food Tasting Tour: If you're a food guru you will want to be on the Las Vegas Food Tasting Tour; stopping by world-renowned restaurants such as one of Gordon Ramsey's locations, trying some of their signature dishes as seen on TV. Make sure to bring an open belly because you'll be strolling along the Vegas Strip trying many different cuisines and you may even gain a new favorite food along the way.
• Michael Jackson Live Concert Tribute: Seeing that you're a music lover, you probably know your icons when you see one, and Michael Jackson was just that - a legend and icon of his time, and even still today. Even though this performer is just an impressionist, you would never know it due to his amazing skills to sound, move, and even make the infamous noises that MJ made while singing. Celebrate one of the biggest singers to this day, with all of his best songs like "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and so many others.
• Illuminarium: The Illuminarium of Las Vegas provides two different space events and one safari event, visiting some of the most beautiful places you'll ever see in your life.

Write a message board for Unity developers asking for help with a problem I've been having. I am creating a 3D bullet hell space shooter. I can get the ship to move in all directions, but I can't get it to rotate in any direction. I don't understand what Quaternion or Euler is.
|
Hi everyone. I was hoping I could get some help with a problem I've been having on the Unity project I'm working on. I'm working on the movement controls for a starship in a 3D bullet hell space shooter game. I have all the controls working for up/down, and left/right movement. However, I can't get the rotation working correctly on any axis. I keep getting errors when I save my controller script. After looking into it a bit, I saw that it might have something to do with Quaternion or Euler, but I don't know what either of those are. If anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be a huge help. Thanks in advance.

What rebellion was taking place in 1322? Was Robin Hood involved in that rebellion?
Legend has it that Robin Hood was an outlaw living in Sherwood Forest with his ‘Merry Men’ – but did he really exist?
There are several versions of the Robin Hood story. The Hollywood one is that of an incredibly handsome man – Errol Flynn – clothed in garments of Lincoln green, fighting for the rights of the oppressed and outwitting the evil Sheriff of Nottingham.
However the first known literary reference to Robin Hood and his men was in 1377, and the Sloane manuscripts in the British Museum have an account of Robin’s life which states that he was born around 1160 in Lockersley (most likely modern day Loxley) in South Yorkshire. Another chronicler has it that he was a Wakefield man and took part in Thomas of Lancaster’s rebellion in 1322.
One certain fact is that he was a North Country man, with his traditional haunts as an outlaw in Sherwood Forest and a coastal refuge at Robin Hood’s Bay in Yorkshire.
One well known story about Robin that places him in Whitby, Yorkshire, is about him and Little John having a friendly archery contest. Both men were skilled at archery and from the roof of the Monastery they both shot an arrow. The arrows fell at Whitby Lathes, more than a mile away. Afterwards the fields where the arrows landed were known as Robin Hood’s Close and Little John’s Close.
Robin became a popular folk hero because of his generosity to the poor and down-trodden peasants, and his hatred of the Sheriff and his verderers who enforced the oppressive forest laws, made him their champion. Some chroniclers date his exploits as taking place during the reign of Edward II, but other versions say the king was Richard I, the Lionheart. Robin having fought in the Crusades alongside the Lionheart before returning to England to find his lands siezed by the Sheriff.
All versions of the Robin Hood story give the same account of his death. As he grew older and became ill, he went with Little John to Kirklees Priory near Huddersfield, to be treated by his aunt, the Prioress, but a certain Sir Roger de Doncaster persuaded her to murder her nephew and the Prioress slowly bled Robin to death. With the last of his strength he blew his horn and Little John came to his aid, but too late.
Little John placed Robin’s bow in his hand and carried him to a window from where Robin managed to loose one arrow. Robin asked Little John to bury him where the arrow landed, which he duly did.
A mound in Kirklees Park, within bow-shot of the house, can still be seen and is said to be his last resting place. Little John’s grave can be seen in Hathersage churchyard in Derbyshire.
But what of his lover Maid Marion? Not much of Robin’s career is known, but nowhere in the chronicles is Maid Marion mentioned, so we must assume she was ‘added’ to the stories at a later date.
So, Robin did exist, but not in quite the same way as the Robin Hood we all think of, the cinematic Robin of Sherwood, Prince of Thieves! His story however, remains one of the best known tales of English folklore.

Summer's too hot, rather be cold
If I don't chill out, I'm gonna sweat right through my clothes

[Verse 2]
It's still too hot, gotta get cold
I need to chill out before I melt down to my bones
One-hundred and thirty degrees
Gotta have more ice cream; it's all that's cold enough to eat

Write a paragraph about a cat and his owner but start each sentence with a new letter following alphabetical order.
|
Alex is a tabby cat. Butterscotch yellow and white are his stripes. Carefully, he licks his paws. Digging in the dirt makes them dirty. Every day, Alex digs. For hours and hours, he'll dig in the dirt. George, his owner, does not like it. He is trying to grow something in the dirt. In the mornings, George waters the dirt. Just like rain, it makes the dirt muddy. Keeping Alex inside has become difficult for George. Louder and louder, Alex wails at the window.
"Meow," he cries.
"No, no," George replies.
"Owwww," the cat yelps back. Putting the watering can away, George watches the window where Alex sits.
"Quirky little cat," he thinks. "Right now, I bet he's thinking about digging in my dirt."
"Sorry, Alex," George sighs.
"Today just isn't your day." Under a watchful eye, George walks past the window. Very slowly, Alex creeps down and waits by the door. When George opens the door, Alex darts outside. Xanthous fur flashes in a blur.
"You've got to be kidding me," George cries.
"Zucchini plants will never grow!"

Bad Day Today
I had a bad day today.
I peed my bed.
I stubbed my toe.
I forgot to feed dear old Joe.
I burnt my arm.
I broke a glass.
Dropped Mom's alarm.
I made a mess.
I ate too much candy.
I took too much.
I split my pants.
then threw up.
I lost my toy.
I tore my shirt.
I fell at school.
Then I ate dirt.
I had a bad day today.
But mom was sweet.
She made me dumplings.
She cleaned my sheets.
She gave me medicine
to soothe my stomach
She gave me a hug.
She found my duck.
I had a bad day today.
But tomorrow's new.
It will be better.
I won't be blue.

Write a sad free verse poem about losing a pet.

Puppy to teenager to adult
All in the blink of an eye
A never-ending friend
From life to death
Keeper of my secrets
True love of my life
The one who knew when I was mad
The one who knew when I was sad
With a gentle paw on my arm
Or a kiss and a nudge
You knew how to make me better
A true best friend
How am I supposed to move on
When you were the reason I woke up
Who am I to play with, or share my dinner with?
I will miss you endlessly
Until we meet again
On that famous rainbow bridge

Write a response to this email, stating that I did cite sources in the section on play therapy, and I did go over the strengths and weaknesses of play therapy. It seems she missed page two. Ask her to look over it again and regrade it. It should sound very professional. This was for Assessment 2 in Human Lifespan Development. I included three peer reviewed, scholarly sources in the section on play therapy.
OVERALL COMMENTS
Hi, Jane,
For this assignment, you were asked to design a brochure for parents with young children and describe services offered, benefits of those services, and how services connect with theory or perspectives. You were asked to conclude by describing ethical codes.
I enjoyed the brochures of services, the description of the services, and the benefits of such services. It appears in many locations that the description was written specifically for parents with young children. I enjoyed your short description of APA considerations. I did not read any strengths and weaknesses related to theory or play therapy; it seemed like a description of the strength of the service. Thanks for including some references and a few citations; there were some parts in the brochure where it appears that more sources could have been integrated, like when you discuss what play therapy is.
Overall, I enjoyed your assignment and welcome you to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Dr. John Doe

Dear Dr. Doe,
I am pleased that you enjoyed the brochure that I submitted for Assessment 2 of Human Lifespan Development. I am grateful for your positive feedback.
I do think that you may have missed the second page of the brochure, however. You stated that you didn't see where I discussed the strengths and weaknesses related to the theory I chose or play therapy. These were discussed in detail on page two.
You also said that more sources could have been integrated into the section where play therapy was discussed. Please note that I included citations for three peer-reviewed scholarly citations in that section.
I respectfully ask that you look over my submitted assessment a second time and re-grade it.
Thank you,
Jane Doe

Create a will for a pirate. Create a unique name for the pirate and divide his assets among other fictional characters. Keep the response under 200 words.

Last Will and Testament of Captain One-Eye
All of my plunder will be divided throughout the crew, but the ship will go to my first mate, Shifty-Leg Sam.
Upon my death, Shifty-Leg Sam will be promoted to captain of the ship and captain of the crew.
I should hope that my flag will still fly with the sails and that it will go down in history as the most feared ship in the seas. If my body is ever found, tie something heavy to me and throw me in the sea, so that I will forever sleep in Davy Jone's locker.
If my pistols are recovered, I want them to go to Stabby-McDan, as well as my telescope.
If any crewmate is discovered to have stolen or taken more of my plunder than he should've, then make them walk the plank!
Keep the One-Eye legacy alive so that ye may one day become the richest and strongest pirates.

I am going to Iceland, where are 3 hidden hotspots that the tourist don't go to very often? Please describe each suggestion.
|
Here are three hidden hotspots in Iceland that tourists don't go to very often:
1) REYKJANES PENINSULA / GRINDAVÍK: Grindavik is a hidden gem due to the fact that you get to experience nature's power as the earth moves under your feet. There are an average of 10 small earthquakes a day, reaching around 3 on the Richter scale. Grindavik is very close to the Airport and just south of the Blue Lagoon. Don't miss out on this small fishing town.
2) ÁSBYRGI: Ásbyrgi offers stunning nature, myths, old sagas, and culture. It is part of Vatnajökull National Park. The views and natural landscapes in Ásbyrgi are out of this world. If you are a fan of mythology, you will love that this horseshoe-shaped land is believed to be where Óðin’s horse Sleipnir first came into existence, and the surrounding cliffs are said to be home to elves.
3) HROSSABORG: Hrossaborg is a perfect place for the avid photographer with its stark lunar landscape. It even served as a landscape for the feature film Oblivion. Hrossaborg is also an excellent viewing area for the Northern Lights during winter and a great place to take shelter in and enjoy a nice picnic in the dark winter months.

Write a letter to the newspaper editor of the Daily mail, regarding the article about getting rid of flies. Write as if you are a fly.
I'm a pest control expert - this cheap hack will get rid of pesky flies in your house
A pest control expert has revealed an easy hack for getting rid of pesky flies in your house this summer - and it won't set you back more than £5.
Jordan Foster from Fantastic Pest Control, based in London, said repelling these bothersome insects is easy with some strong essential oils.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, the pro recommended peppermint, eucalyptus, lavender, and citronella as the best options.
He added that soaking cotton balls in the oils and placing them where you want to ward the insects away is a quick and thrifty trick.
'Using vinegar as a repellent for flies can be effective,' Jordan told the outlet.
Spraying a mixture of water and white vinegar around the house or using it to clean surfaces will discourage flies from lingering.'
Other repellants include strong-smelling herbs and spices like basil, mint, rosemary and cloves.
One of the cheapest peppermint oil options on Amazon retails for as little as £2.23, and cotton balls at Wilko go for 90p.
Meanwhile, a bottle of distilled vinegar from Tesco is only 29p.
Speaking to Country Living, pest solutions company Rentokil advised that common house flies are attracted to 'rotten' items, whereas fruit flies will try and find sugary treats like overripe fruit or alcohol.
'Spotting a few flies buzzing around does not necessarily mean you have a serious fly problem,' an expert told the outlet.
'Although you should probably start keeping an eye out for other tell-tale signs, such as small dark clusters of spots in light areas and the presence of maggots.'
Spilt food, sticky surfaces, drain scum, alcohol, and pet waste are all things which could be attracting house flies to your home.
Spilt food, rubbish bins near windows and standing water (such as in watering cans) are also all common culprits, pest control experts told Homes and Gardens.
Speaking to the outlet, Nancy Troyano of Ehrlich Pest Control also warned the some species will only multiply if the problem persists.
'Fruit flies breed on moist, decaying organic matter, such as fruit or spilled beverages,' she said.
'If there is a place for these insects to breed, they will continue coming back.'
Common house flies will also remain a persistent problem until the source of the issue, and particularly any environments it can breed in - such as interior garage rooms - are taken out.
'House flies do not bite, but they are capable of transferring more than 100 different pathogens, including salmonellosis, typhoid and tuberculosis,' Pestworld.org says.
'House flies contaminate food surfaces by spreading disease organisms picked up on their legs and mouths when feeding on trash, feces and other decaying substances.
'Plus, they defecate constantly.'

Dear editor,
I want to complain about an article which appeared in your newspaper, written by a pest controller by the name of Jordan Foster. The article highlights cheap 'hacks to get rid of pesky flies.'
I am one of these pesky, bothersome flies that you refer to. Firstly, I would like to express my dissatisfaction about the use of such a derogatory term. How would you feel at being referred to as pesky or bothersome. Secondly, what your article proposes amounts to the genocide of my species, which I think you will agree is pretty unkind. We haven’t done anything to deserve this? Why do you have a vendetta against flies? Where does it come from?
You see, the article encourages people to repell us using strong essential oils. Peppermint, eucalyptus, lavender, citronella, as well as, strong-smelling herbs, like basil, mint, rosemary and cloves are cited. Jordan Foster advises the public to soak cotton balls in the oils and place them where humans want to ward us away. He calls it a quick and thrifty trick. Alternatively, he suggests using vinegar as a repellent. He states that spraying a mixture of water and white vinegar around the house or using it to clean surfaces will discourage us from lingering. Nonsense!
He even goes so far as to tell people where to buy these ingredients from. I am shocked that peppermint oil is available on Amazon for only £2.23, cotton balls at Wilko for 90p and a bottle of distilled vinegar is only 29p, at Tesco. Jordan Foster wants to murder my family and friends, for as little money as possible. This is shocking!
Yes, it is true that we like rotten items and that fruit flies are partial to sugary treats, like overripe fruit or alcohol. He also helpfully points out that we like to breed on moist, decaying organic matter, such as fruit or spilled beverages. Yes, I confirm this. To say that we spread diseases, with 100 different pathogens, including salmonellosis, typhoid and tuberculosis is pretty insensitive. To say that we contaminate food surfaces by spreading diseases, which we pick up on our legs and mouths when feeding on trash or feces, is harsh. However, to say that we defecate constantly is just plain malicious.
I find your article extremely derogatory and unkind. I look forward to hearing your comments.
From,
A pesky fly

Write a panicked email. You are the social media manager for both McDonald's and Burger King and have been living a secret double life. You accidentally tweeted a Whopper deal on the McDonalds account and now have to explain to the CEO of McDonald's why you did. You don't admit to having two jobs, but try to say you were delirious from being sick and may need some time off.
|
Dear [name of McDonald's CEO],
I hope this email finds you well. I'm writing to you with regret regarding a recent incident that occurred on our official McDonald's Twitter account. I want to extend my sincerest apologies for any confusion or damage caused by a tweet promoting a Whopper deal, which I'm now aware is a product belonging to our rival, Burger King.
Allow me to explain the circumstances surrounding this mistake. Over the past few weeks, I've been battling an illness, which has taken a significant toll on my physical and mental well-being. I have been somewhat delirious during this time and must have seen an ad for the Whopper somewhere, keeping it in my subconscious when I came to work.
I understand that this is an unacceptable mistake.
In light of these events, I would like to request a temporary leave of absence to focus on my recovery and ensure that I am fully fit to resume my duties as the social media manager. I want to make sure nothing like this happens again.
I'm genuinely sorry for any distress or harm caused to our company or customers, and I'll do better in the future. I value the company and my position here and want to prove my commitment.
Please feel free to reach out to me at your convenience, and I will be more than willing to discuss this further.
Yours sincerely,
McDonald's Social Media Manager

I want you to build me a simple GUI app in Java that doesn't require any dependencies. To start, I just want to see some boilerplate that shows a window with a string displaying.
|
Sure! This is a sample program that uses Swing to show a window with a text label.
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import java.awt.Dimension;
public class MyApp {
private static void init(String text) {
JFrame appFrame = new JFrame(text);
appFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
appFrame.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(600, 250)); //Set a minimum width and height for our window.
JLabel textLabel = new JLabel(text);
appFrame.add(textLabel);
appFrame.pack();
appFrame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
init(args.length > 0 ? args[0] : "Hello, world!");
}
}
We start by importing JFrame and JLabel from Swing, which we use to display the window and text, respectively. We take whatever command line argument is given, if any (defaulting to Hello, world!), and we pass it to init, which initializes our GUI. We create a frame, which is our window here, and pass it the text to put it in the title bar. We then make it so that when we close the window, the program exits. We set a minimum size, which is totally optional, using the Dimension class. Then, we create a label and use the pack method to help us with formatting. Finally, we set the window to be visible.

What is a local anesthetic and what is the link with cocaine?
|
A local anesthetic is a substance that inhibits pain (anesthesia) locally by blocking nerve messages (nerve conduction) and therefore stopping the excitement of the nerve ending with pain receptors. Cocaine, found indigenously in The Andes, West Indies and Java, was the first local anesthetic to be discovered. It is also the only naturally occurring local anesthetic.
All subsequent local anesthetics are synthetically derived using Cocaine as a template; the idea being to reduce or eliminate adverse effects of cocaine whilst maintaining or increasing the anesthetic effect and the time of anesthesia.
Examples of synthetic local anesthetics include Procaine (sold under the name Novocaine) and Lignocaine or Lidocaine (sold under the name Xylocaine).

What family is the swordfish a part of?
What is the longest swordfish recorded?
Answer the questions using the text below:
Swordfish (Xiphias gladius), also known as broadbills[4] in some countries, are large, highly migratory predatory fish characterized by a long, flat, pointed bill. They are a popular sport fish of the billfish category, though elusive. Swordfish are elongated, round-bodied, and lose all teeth and scales by adulthood. These fish are found widely in tropical and temperate parts of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, and can typically be found from near the surface to a depth of 550 m (1,800 ft), and exceptionally up to depths of 2,234 m.[2] They commonly reach 3 m (10 ft) in length, and the maximum reported is 4.55 m (14 ft 11 in) in length and 650 kg (1,430 lb) in weight.[3][5]
They are the sole member of their family, Xiphiidae.[6]

Summarize the below 5 points for me.
#1 Geopolitics
As 2018 showed us, global trade is an ever-evolving atmosphere. The U.S.-China trade war dominated headlines for months as a tit-for-tat exchange of tariffs sent ag commodities reeling. As the new import/export barriers destabilized existing trade relationships, pork and soybean producers were hit particularly hard,. Fallout from the U.S.-China standoff drove soybean futures sharply lower because the leading consumer of U.S. supply was taken out of the market. Staying abreast of changes in global politics is a critical aspect of any grain market analysis.
#2 Strength of the Dollar
The almighty dollar plays a pivotal role in the trade of all commodities, not just grains. In the event that inflation spikes and the USD backpedals against major global currencies, many investors choose to go long on commodities. Historically, commodity prices outperform other assets in keeping up with inflation. As a result, institutional capital has a tendency to implement hedging strategies incorporating ag products. If the greenback is under inflationary pressure, the grain markets are in a position to post gains.
Learn 7 basic and out-of-the-box strategies for success in Guide to Smarter Ag Marketing: Fixed Risk Hedging.
#3 Energy Policies
No grain market analysis is complete without addressing current government energy policies, specifically toward the use of ethanol. A prime example of this market driver came in 2018 due to the Trump administration’s promotion of year-around E-15 integration. The long-term impact on corn demand stemming from increased ethanol production remains to be seen. However, the adoption of the aggressive ethanol policy boosted 2019’s planted corn acreage and regional purchases on spot markets.
#4 Global Supply and Demand
Perhaps the most elementary factor of grain market analysis is the age-old relationship between supply and demand. In fact, all of the factors on this list have at least a perceivable impact on one of the two. However, the reality is that many events can destabilize the supply-demand curve and pricing equilibrium. Because the grain and oilseed markets are truly global in nature, monitoring the current WASDE reports for domestic and global supply/demand information is a must.
#5 Weather
In close relation to global supply and demand is the impact of weather on the grain markets. Unexpectedly harsh atmospheric conditions, or a prolonged pattern such as El Niño, can significantly affect production and consumption levels. Although the weather is impossible to predict with 100% accuracy, evaluating macro environmental stimuli is an essential aspect of trading grains competently.
|
Geopolitics:
By imposing tariffs on imports and exports governments can drastically alter supply and demand levels worldwide leading to massive effects on the grain market.
Strength of the Dollar:
As the main currency in international trade, the strength of the US Dollar can significantly impact a buyer's ability to purchase grain. Often when the dollar is devalued the price of commodities rises as investors see it as a safer alternative.
Energy Policy:
Policies relating to energy and a farmer's ability to produce can have an impact on markets. Policies that ease production ensure that the supply of grain is able to be maintained.
Global Supply and Demand:
All markets are affected by supply and demand. None more so than the grain market. As demand for grains goes up prices rise likewise when supply is cut.
Weather:
Of course, the weather plays a large part in grain markets. A poor harvest resulting from torrid weather can wreak havoc with supply, causing prices to rise.

I have a stomach ache, but I don't have any medication in my house. Gime 3 ideas for stomach ache home remedies I can use. Present them to me in a numbered list, but don't include any home remedies that include lemon or lime juice in them.
|
I'm sorry you're suffering from a stomach ache, and you should talk to a doctor about it and get professional help. For now, here is the numbered list you asked for:
1. Water: As simple as it sounds, sweating, walking, and digesting food drains your body from its fluids. This, combined with vomiting or diarrhea due to stomach aches, can worsen it. So try to keep your water intake at healthy levels throughout the day.
2. Ginger: The ginger root is a natural anti-inflammatory that can help with your stomach aches. You can chew it, but if you don't like the taste, you can boil it to make tea.
3. Peppermint: The peppermint herb has been used for many years to treat stomachaches and other digestive conditions. You can prepare a peppermint tea or suck on peppermint candy.

Write a happy short story about two birds meeting for the first time. Have the story have a happy ending.
|
The sun was rising over the hills, casting a golden glow over the morning dew. A small bird, a blue jay, was perched on a branch of a tree, watching the sunrise. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, savoring the peace and quiet of the morning.
Suddenly, he heard a beautiful sound. He opened his eyes and saw a second bird, a dove, landing on the branch next to him. The two birds looked at each other for a moment, then the blue jay spoke.
"Hello," he said. "My name is Blue Jay."
"Hello," said the dove. "My name is White Daisy."
The two birds talked for a while, and they quickly realized that they had a lot in common. They both loved to fly, they both loved to sing, and they both loved the beauty of nature.
As the sun sank lower in the sky as the day went on and the two birds grew closer and closer. They talked about everything and nothing, and they laughed and cried together. By the time the sun had set, they felt like they had known each other for years.
The next day, the two birds met again. They spent another full day singing and laughing together.
The two birds decided to build a nest together. They found a perfect spot in a tree, and they worked hard to build a beautiful nest.
The two birds lived happily ever after, and they never forgot the day they met for the first time.

I'm writing a report on the importance of bees, can you give me a few reasons why bees are so important and why we need to protect them?
|
Sure, I can help with that. Here are a few benefits of protecting bees.
1. They are pollinators
Bees are one of the most essential pollinators for food crops. Every day we rely on bees and other pollinators to help grow our food. But even though they are so necessary to us, bee populations are still on the decline due to the ongoing use of pesticides and other harsh environmental factors such as climate change.
2. They produce 1/3 of our food supply
Whenever a bee lands on a plant or flower, the pollen is distributed. This results in cross-pollination. The process is what later results in our fruits, vegetables, and seeds. They are among the most important pollinators of food crops.
3. They create a variety of medicine
The unique antibacterial properties of bee venom have shown great potential for treating antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria including MRSA. This is a methicillin-resistant pathogen that causes a variety of infections in humans which are currently very difficult to treat.
4. They provide food for our wildlife
Pollinators such as bees can provide plants that feed our wildlife and other animals such as cattle. Pollinators are responsible for the large amount of food that we eat. Bees, as well as moths, flies, beetles, birds, and bats, are all part of maintaining the lungs of our planet.
5. They help to prevent soil erosion
Honeybees can help protect soil quality and prevent erosion. Along with helping to pollinate crops, bees will also protect our soil quality and help prevent soil erosion. Stopping soil erosion is essential for keeping the earth's water supply clean, preventing flooding, and protecting all aquatic forms of life.

What are the specific conditions required for the formation of cumulonimbus clouds?
|
Cumulonimbus clouds, often associated with severe weather conditions, form under specific atmospheric circumstances. They develop as a result of significant atmospheric instability, where warmer, less dense air is present underneath cooler, denser air. This instability encourages strong upward convection, which, combined with sufficient moisture, forms towering cumulonimbus clouds.
These clouds often begin as smaller cumulus clouds that grow vertically as warm air continues to rise in an updraft, cooling and condensing as it ascends. When the cloud's top reaches a certain height where the surrounding air is much cooler (often the boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere), it starts to spread out, forming an anvil-like shape characteristic of mature cumulonimbus clouds.

What is a false flag event? How is it defined, and what is an example of a false flag event?
|
A false flag event refers to a covert operation or staged event in which the perpetrators disguise themselves as someone else or manipulate circumstances to make it appear another individual, group, or nation is responsible. The goal is often to deceive the public or shift blame onto a different party.
The Gulf of Tonkin incident is an example of a false flag event.
In August 1964, the USS Maddox, an American destroyer, reported engaging in a naval clash with North Vietnamese patrol boats in the Gulf of Tonkin. While the initial reports painted a picture of unprovoked aggression, subsequent revelations highlighted a different narrative. It was misinformation used to give the President the power to escalate U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War without explicit congressional approval.

Richard's corpse was taken to the nearby town of Leicester and buried without ceremony. His original tomb monument is believed to have been removed during the English Reformation, and his remains were wrongly thought to have been thrown into the River Soar. In 2012, an archaeological excavation was commissioned by Philippa Langley with the assistance of the Richard III Society on the site previously occupied by Grey Friars Priory. The University of Leicester identified the skeleton found in the excavation as that of Richard III as a result of radiocarbon dating, comparison with contemporary reports of his appearance, identification of trauma sustained at the Battle of Bosworth Field and comparison of his mitochondrial DNA with that of two matrilineal descendants of his sister Anne. He was reburied in Leicester Cathedral on 26 March 2015.

Write a short story about a young girl that loves to dance and one day encounters a ghost. Make it two paragraphs.
|
Barbara loved dancing. She would often go to the park with her speaker and dance for as long as she could after school. One day on her way to the park she saw a little boy crying on the sidewalk. She asked him what was wrong and he said that his best friend had moved away. Barbara told the lonely boy that she was very sorry and that he could be friends with her if he wanted. The boy smiled and followed Barbara to the park. Barbara and the boy danced and played around the park until it was dark. Barbara was finishing up her song when she realized it might be time to go home. She turned to tell him but he was gone.
Barbara looked for hours. Finally, her mom pulled up frantically asking why she wasn't home yet. She explained the whole story to her mother. Her mother told Barbara that they would call the police and report his disappearance. Unfortunately, when her mother called there was not much they could do due to lack of name and photo. When they got home they sat at the computer and looked at missing children. They went back for years and finally found a report of a boy named Robert who went missing when he was 5 years old. The only problem was he went missing 20 years ago.

Write me a YouTube review from a reviewer calling themselves Zine Magazine, that reviews indie music. The review is a rave review for an unnamed 15-year-old girl's debut album. Don't make it a perfect review, though. The reviewer should have one or 2 quibbles with the album. The review should rhyme but be written in prose form and should be exactly 145 words long.
|
Welcome again to Zine Magazine, where we review releases on the indie scene. First things first, to join our tribe, smash the like button and click on subscribe. Now, to speak about the album on review. I found it quite impressive for a debut. Some of the best songwriting that I've ever seen. It's hard to believe that she's only fifteen. A great singer and a talented guitarist. At such a young age, she's a well-rounded artist. You can tell her range of influences is quite broad. Over the course of the album, I was never bored. The arrangements were strong and all in good taste. My only gripe is the genre-switching seemed a bit all over the place. No doubt, to the scene, a new star has arrived. All in all, a great effort, four out of five.

Turn this into a poem about a seagull instead
The Sandpiper
Frances Frost
At the edge of tide
He stops to wonder,
Races through
The lace of thunder.
On toothpick legs
Swift and brittle,
He runs and pipes
And his voice is little.
But small or not,
He has a notion
To outshout
The Atlantic Ocean.
|
The Seagull's Call
By the shore, it stands tall,
Wings unfurled, it heeds the call.
Through crashing waves and skies so blue,
It sings its song, its voice so true.
On slender legs, it swiftly goes,
Dancing on sand, where ocean flows.
With cries that carry far and wide,
The seagull soars, a graceful stride.
In flight, it conquers winds on high,
Embracing freedom with every try.
A symbol of resilience and grace,
The seagull's spirit takes its place.

By Diana Dasrath and David K. Li
Longtime TV personality Jerry Springer, who helped pioneer the high-energy, often-profane genre of confrontational daytime television, died Thursday after a bout with cancer, his representatives said.
He was 79.
The former mayor of Cincinnati, Springer died in suburban Chicago, publicist Linda Shafran told NBC News. He died from pancreatic cancer, family spokesperson and longtime friend Jean Galvin added.
“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,” according to Galvin.
“He’s irreplaceable and his loss hurts immensely, but memories of his intellect, heart and humor will live on.”
“The Jerry Springer Show” ran from 1991 to 2018 and was known for its profanity-prone guests who often had to be restrained by on-set security guards as audience members wildly cheered, "Jerry, Jerry, Jerry!"

The show's 1990s popularity made it a ratings rival of daytime polar opposite, "The Oprah Winfrey Show,” and Springer had no regrets for the high-energy, low-brow material he aired on afternoon TV.
“I don’t watch the show, but it’s not aimed at 66-year-old men,” Springer said in a 2010 interview. “If I were in college, I would watch. I enjoy doing it. It’s a lot of fun.”
Former Education Secretary William Bennett in 1995 famously called “Springer” and other shows of the era “perpetrators of cultural rot.”
"Springer" was such a success, that the words "Jerry Springer" became a synonym for anything outrageous or ridiculous TV.
After the infamous Will Smith slap of Chris Rock at last year's Oscars, Alec Baldwin bemoaned how the show had "turned into the Jerry Springer show."
At the end of each episode of the confrontational and occasionally violent show, a seemingly sincere Springer would appeal to his viewers' better angels.
He'd sign off each "Springer" episode with a catchphrase he had developed in his days on television news: “Take care of yourself and each other.”
Fellow 1990s daytime talk show host Maury Povich mourned Springer's passing and called him "a unique showman."
“I am shocked and saddened by the passing of Jerry. He was not only a colleague but a friend," he said in a statement. "We worked for the same company for decades. He was joyful, smart and, in his own way, a unique showman. I will miss him.”
Jerry Springer’s final thoughts on his TV show: ‘We’re all alike’
AUG. 27, 201905:16
Steve Wilkos, the on-set security supervisor for Springer's show who eventually became an infamous talk show host himself, said none of his success would have been possible without Springer.
“Other than my father, Jerry was the most influential man in my life,” Wilkos said in a statement. “Everything I have today I owe to Jerry. He was the smartest, most generous, kindest person I’ve ever known. My wife and I are devastated. We will miss him terribly.”
Gerald Norman Springer was born on Feb. 13, 1944, in a London subway station that was being used as a bomb shelter against German air raids.

Springer went on to get his bachelor's degree from Tulane University and law degree from Northwestern. He joined the ill-fated campaign of Robert Kennedy in 1968 and participated in the massive anti-war protests at that year's Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
He settled in Cincinnati and soon took an active role in Queen City politics, eventually becoming mayor in a City Hall career that could have easily been the topic of a "Springer Show."
He won election to the city council in 1971 before resigning in 1974 after admitting to using the services of prostitutes, some who he paid with checks.
The scandal didn't sink Springer and the future talk-show king's openness about the affair is largely cited for his political comeback.
He won election back to the council in 1975 and served as mayor for one year beginning in 1977.
Springer took one more shot at politics in 1982, running for governor of Ohio. He finished third in the Democratic primary, scoring 20.4% of the vote in finishing third to eventual general election winner Dick Celeste.
Springer then turned his attention to television, as a political reporter and anchor on WLWT Channel 5, the NBC affiliate in Cincinnati, where his "Final Thought" commentaries became an audience favorite.
"I cannot think about my life or talk about my life without talking about Cincinnati and the role Channel 5 played. Channel 5 gave me my career so that's everything," he told WLWT earlier this month.
"It's in my blood, it really is. I'm not trying to be corny about it. I love this place, I love this station. I owe it everything."
Even after he stopped making "Springer," he remained a fixture in pop culture.
The television talker finished in fifth place on "Dancing with the Stars" in 2006, in a competition won by former Dallas Cowboys running back Emmitt Smith.
Springer's family didn't immediately name a charity for fans to donate in his name.
Instead, his loved ones said: "To remember Jerry, the family asks that in lieu of flowers you consider following his spirit and make a donation or commit to an act of kindness to someone in need or a worthy advocacy organization. As he always said, 'Take care of yourself, and each other.'”

1) No, Jerry Springer's short-lived career in politics was plagued with scandal, and he eventually moved on from the field.
2) The Jerry Springer Show was on television for 27 years.

Write a brief news blurb about Long Island Lolita. Write as if it's a short news announcement in a local paper on the day she's being released from prison. Keep it under 125 words.
|
Amy Fisher - or Long Island Lolita, as she's more commonly known - is being released from prison today after serving nearly seven years for shooting Mary Jo Buttafuoco. Fisher, who was only 17 at the time of the shooting, shot Mary Jo twice in the head on the front porch of her home in Massapequa, New York. At the time, Fisher was having an affair with Mary Jo's husband, Joey Buttafuoco, who was 38. Joey was convicted of statutory rape and spent six months in jail back in '93. After taking anger management classes in prison, Fisher wrote to apologize to Mary Jo. Mary Jo, for her part, appeared at Fisher's parole hearing and forgave her.

Hey. I need a couple of intro paragraphs for a blog post on writing compelling character backstories for roleplaying games. The take that this particular post should have is that these stories should be short, but also include interesting elements that the GM can use to create interesting scenarios. Keep this to 150 words maximum since it's just the introduction. Take a helpful, positive tone.
|
So you want to write a backstory for your character but don't know where to start? The truth is writing a backstory is pretty simple. It doesn't have to be super long (in fact, shorter is usually better), nor does it need to have a lot of detail. It should, however, set the stage for your character's adventuring career while also giving your GM some interesting ideas to work with when creating scenarios.
Whether you're playing Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, or any other roleplaying game, there are a few key elements to include in your backstory. In this article, we'll explore those elements and look at ways to apply them to your character's backstory.

What are the five stages of grief? And how long does each stage last?
|
The five stages of grief:
1. Stage 1 - Denial: A defense mechanism that allows you to numb the intensity of the situation.
2. Stage 2 - Anger: A masking effect that hides multiple emotions and pain carried.
3. Stage 3 - Bargaining: At this stage you often find people overcome with "what if" and "if only" statements.
4. Stage 4 - Depression: Seen as the quiet stage of grief. At this point, you should have embraced the situation. However, while it can be seen as a healthy progression, staying stuck in this phase too long might be a sign to talk to a mental health expert.
5. Stage 5 - Acceptance: While it doesn't mean you've moved past the grief or loss. It is a sign that you've understood what this means in life.
There is no exact time to accurately detail how long you'll stay in each stage. Grief varies from person to person. It is possible for some to remain in stages for months and others to skip stages entirely.

Write me the beginning of an article on planned obsolescence. Include the fact that car parts are built to fail after a certain amount of time and that Phones become obsolete because they are no longer supported, not because they don't work. Please use a studious tone
|
Is it time to end planned obsolescence?
I first came across the term, ‘planned obsolescence while I was studying to become a mechanic (a course I passed but ultimately never pursued)
Everything on a traditional car is built to a certain specification so that it will fail after a certain amount of miles. A clutch every 70,000 to 100,000 miles. A cambelt every 40,000 and so on.
It struck me as strange at the time. Why not just build all the parts to last? But it makes some sense on a car at least. I mean the whole thing is full of moving parts and wear and tear is unavoidable over several thousand miles.
But other than a cracked screen, I have never seen an iPhone or Samsung crumble in its owner's hand due to too many hours spent in a pocket.
The truth is the iPhone 5 I have in my kitchen drawer works just as well as it did on the day I bought it. It's just that Apple decided to stop supporting it.
Apps could be made to still function on it. But it's costly to support several generations of a phone both for the manufacturer and anyone that wants to create apps for either iOS or Android. Not to mention, if you are using a five or six-generation old phone you haven't put any money in Apple's pocket for quite some time.

How does electricity work?
|
Electricity is created when negatively charged electrons move in sync along a conductive material through a closed circuit. This electron movement is the result of the conversion of other primary sources of energy, such as coal, hydroelectricity, natural gas, nuclear power, oil, or solar. The primary energy conversion pushes weakly-attracted electrons out of orbit around their protons, shifting from one atom to the next. Conductive materials like copper wire, which has a negative charge flow of electrons, allow the electric charges to flow uniformly as they create a positive charge known as an electrical current.

Winter is the coldest season, and everyone rushes to bundle up inside. However, this sometimes isn't an option. If someone is outside without access to an indoor area, what are three ways they can keep warm? Please do not mention the clothes they are wearing, only possible items in their surroundings that can help them.
|
Here are three ways to keep warm while outside in the cold:
1) Bundle together. With friends or any people willing, bundle together and share heat. This can help to keep you warm while you're outside in the cold.
2) Keep moving. If you start to get too cold, keep your body active to pump your blood and keep you warm. You can do exercises like jogging, or you can do something light like stretching and pacing. No matter what you choose, try to keep your body moving.
3) Make a fire. If you see wood around, try making a fire to stay warm.

I need dinner ideas that take under an hour. I have ground chicken in the fridge and some tortillas and hamburger buns in my bread box. I don't have any pasta on hand, so don't suggest anything that includes pasta. I think I have some brown rice. Give me four or five quick ideas for what I can whip up based on what I have. Make sure to include the time to cook and prepare each dish so I know that it's under an hour in total. Briefly describe each dish.
|
Here are five dinner ideas that take into account the ingredients you've specified along with a description of each dish that includes the total cook and preparation time:
1. Grilled Chicken Ranch Burgers. With 15 minutes of prep time and 10 minutes of cook time, these delicious ground chicken burgers can be made in well under an hour. In addition to ground chicken and hamburger buns, you will need ranch salad dressing, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and whatever burger toppings you desire in order to make this quick and filling meal.
2. Chicken Parmesan Burgers. These restaurant-quality chicken burgers come together with just 30 minutes of prep and cooking time, making them a great dinner choice if you have less than an hour to spare. A riff on the Italian American classic Chicken Parmesan, these burgers feature marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese in addition to ground chicken and hamburger buns.
3. Black Bean Chicken Burritos. As nutritious as they are filling, these black bean chicken burritos are a great way to utilize your ground chicken and tortillas. Clocking in at just 40 total minutes, these burritos require 25 minutes to prepare and 15 minutes to cook. Best yet, the ingredients are highly customizable based on what you have on hand, so pick your favorite burrito fillings and get to work making this delicious and healthy meal.
4. Feta-Dill Chicken Burgers. The total time to prepare and cook these delectable burgers is a mere 25 minutes, which makes them perfect if you have under an hour. Keep in mind, you will need one egg, one shallot, some crushed Ritz crackers, and of course fresh dill on hand to combine with your ground chicken and hamburger buns in order to complete this tasty meal.
5. Healthier-than-Egg Rolls. These egg rolls have been deconstructed for a delicious and healthy spin on a Chinese classic. Featuring ground chicken, mushrooms, cole slaw, and brown rice, this easy stir-fry can be prepped and cooked in around 25 minutes. If you are seeking a bit of that classic egg roll wrapper taste and texture, feel free to top this dish with some fried wonton strips for a wonderfully crunchy finishing touch.
I hope that these meal ideas inspire you to make a great dinner. Happy cooking!

My friend says the Eiffel Tower gets taller in the summer. Is she right?

The Eiffel Tower sometimes expands to be 15 cm taller in the summer months. This is caused by thermal expansion.

Write the start of a short story where the main character's pet rock comes to life. It should be 2 paragraphs and make it first person.
|
My pet rock stared at me from the shelf with the googly eyes I glued on it as a kid. I remembered the hats I would make for it and smiled. Today was rainy and it was nice to see a smile during such an ugly day. The thunder rumbled and it was only getting louder. All of a sudden the house lit up with a loud bang as the house was struck by lightning. Everything was quiet for a moment when I suddenly heard a light rumbling.
I followed the noise back to the shelf I was looking at and found my pet rock rolling around. Once I got close it stopped and slowly turned around to face me. I was shocked, to say the least, but then it spoke.
"Hello! It's nice to finally meet you!" it said to me. I screamed and ran to the other side of the room.
"Don't be scared," it said "I'm your friend."

According to this, where did Elizabeth Hurley win a scholarship to?
Elizabeth Jane Hurley was born in Basingstoke, Hampshire, to Angela Mary (Titt), a teacher, and Roy Leonard Hurley, an army major. Wanting to be a dancer, Hurley went to ballet boarding school at 12, but soon returned home. When it came time to go to college, Hurley won a scholarship to the London Studio Centre which taught courses for dance and theater. Soon, Hurley wore the punk rock look with pink hair and a nose ring, but to get work, she had to change her image to one that was castable.

Help me figure out what's wrong with the Python code below. It's supposed to count the number of characters that overlap between the beginning of one string and the end of another. overlap('CTAAGT', 'TTCA') should return 1, but instead it returns 2.
def overlap(string1, string2):
if len(string2) < len(string1):
temp = string1
string1 = string2
string2 = temp
print("string1: " + string1)
print("string2: " + string2)
for i in range(0, len(string1) + 1):
print(f'{string1[i:]} == {string2[:(len(string1) - i)]}')
if (string1[i:] == string2[:(len(string1) - i)]):
break
for j in range(0, len(string1) + 1):
print(f'{string2[j:]} == {string1[:(len(string2) - j)]}')
if (string2[j:] == string1[:(len(string2) - j)]):
break
return max(len(string1) - i, len(string2) - j)
|
The second for loop ends too early before it checks every position in the longer string to see if an overlap starts there. If you replace the len(string1) with len(string2) in the range of the for loop, it will continue iterating until it finds the real overlap value. Here's the updated code:
def overlap(string1, string2):
if len(string2) < len(string1):
temp = string1
string1 = string2
string2 = temp
print("string1: " + string1)
print("string2: " + string2)
for i in range(0, len(string1) + 1):
print(f'{string1[i:]} == {string2[:(len(string1) - i)]}')
if (string1[i:] == string2[:(len(string1) - i)]):
break
for j in range(0, len(string2) + 1): # CHANGE: len(string1) to len(string2)
print(f'{string2[j:]} == {string1[:(len(string2) - j)]}')
if (string2[j:] == string1[:(len(string2) - j)]):
break
return max(len(string1) - i, len(string2) - j)

I just built a little house for my mom behind my house. She is nervous about moving to Charlotte from Shreveport. Can you help me think of some ways that Charlotte is a better city than Shreveport?
|
Here are some reasons your mother might prefer Charlotte over Shreveport:
1. Your mother will be safer in Charlotte than she is in Shreveport, as the crime rate is 40.21 per 1000 residents in Charlotte compared to 50.51 per 1000 residents in Shreveport.
2. The weather in Charlotte is substantially less humid than in Shreveport, and the seasonal change is more drastic, meaning a prettier leaf season.
3. Charlotte is centrally located to both the mountains and the beach, either being accessible between a 2 or 3-hour drive. Shreveport has no mountain ranges nearby, and the Gulf of Mexico is at least 5 hours away.
4. Charlotte has more cultural opportunities than Shreveport does: all types of museums, several theaters for live performances, and dozens of cultural festivals throughout the year. Shreveport has a fraction of the cultural experiences.
5. Your mom will be closer to you and see you more frequently if she lives in the same city as you do, particularly living right behind your house! She can get help and company much more easily.

I'm considering gifting my dad a thoughtful DIYed item this weekend. Kindly help me come up with some ideas.
|
1. DIY checkerboard. How about giving your dad a checkerboard that can be easily made at home and will be ready to play with him in their free time? To make it, simply tape off a 64-square pattern on a cutting board with painter's tape, then paint on squares with acrylic paint.
2. Book spine bookmark. Find an old book that can't be salvaged, and take out the spine for your dad to use to mark the last page he's read on the next novel they lay their hands on.
3. Can-do luminaries. Find old metal tins and repaint them, and then transform them into lanterns. Drill holes into them, and then place candles in their bottoms.
4. DIY grilling apron. This is a gift for the dad who loves grilling food for the family. Find a fabric that's not being used up, paint up the master griller mark on them, and patch them up well to make an apron.
5. Dad Pinch Bowl. This is a well-baked-up dish that your dad can use to stash trinkets collected on their outdoor adventures.

Howdy, there. Don't suppose you could write me a story about a gunslinging outlaw rescuing a kitten? It should be wholesome and have a positive ending.
|
Charles feared no man. He'd dueled plenty and lived to tell the tale. He was an outlaw, yet he strolled into town like he owned the place. In a way, he did. The sheriff was too afraid to take him in for fear that he would be replaced. Charles was deadly, but he was popular in town. He was quick on the draw but even quicker with the drinks. One day, as he stumbled back to his horse after spending too long in the saloon, he heard a faint mew coming from a nearby alley.
Charles went to investigate and found a kitten stuck inside a trash can. He pulled the kitten out, hopped on his horse, and went home. The two were the best of friends from that day forward.

Please rewrite this letter into a cheesy rap-style song.
Hey girl,
I've been thinking about some things lately, and I think I'm falling in love with you! I didn't really know how to tell you, so I figured writing it out would be the best way to do so. Do you feel the same? Do you think we could ever be more than what we are now? What are we anyways? I just think so highly of you, I love the way you look, the way you smell, the way you smile...just everything about you. I can't stress it enough and I honestly couldn't see myself with any other girl but you. Even my dogs love you. What do you say? Let me take you on a date and talk more about US. Please?
Sincerely,
Joe Shmoe

Hey girl, I've been thinking lately, about how you truly drive me crazy,
I think I'm falling in love like you're sent from above,
I didn't know how else to say it, so I wanted to sing it,
What do you say? Could we be more than what we are today?
Tell me, what am I to you now, and if you think somehow,
I think so highly of you, tell me you feel that way about me too,
I love the way you smile, I love the way you look,
I love the way you smell, everything about you has me shook,
Even my dogs love you, and you know that says so much,
They know more than we do, they know we should be in love,
So girl, what do you say to me? Will you let me take you out on a date, please?

How do speed bumps damage your car's alignment system, especially when you run over them at a high speed?
|
Speed bumps can have a bad effect on your shocks, causing them to bend and even leak hydraulic fluid. When this happens one too many times, the shocks can no longer absorb the impact and protect your car's suspension and alignment. If the shocks are damaged, that also affects the steering. This is because the steering system is vibrating while the car is in motion. That can cause further damage to the steering system over time. If your suspension and alignment are not in peak condition, then eventually, your exhaust pipes can sustain damage from scraping or bumping against the road. This damage is more severe if you run over speed bumps at a high rate of speed. Moreover, your tires sustain damage as well if the sidewalls hit the road after a speed bump. Sidewalls are one part of the tire that should not come in contact with the road.

Please help me form a resignation letter for the committee for which I do volunteer work. I no longer have time to put into it, and I know that they are going to put a guilt trip on me. Make it brief, and address it to ICARE members.

Dear ICARE team,
I have enjoyed my time volunteering with you for this worthy cause, and it is with regret that I must leave the team now. Other responsibilities have become more demanding for me, and I feel that I cannot give my all to my volunteer efforts right now. I have learned a lot and will continue to support you. Thanks in advance for your understanding.

Take the perspective of someone who loves bugs and write a poem about how much you love insects.
|
Is Man the favorite creation of God?
Such an idea is against the odds
He made man once and was satisfied
But made the beetle a million times
The insect world is teeming with life
Drama, sacrifice, terror, and strife
The mother wasp tortures its prey
So its children may eat on their first day
What do their little minds think of?
Instinct alone, or also of love?
There's no denying bugs are cool, it is true
The praying mantis even knows kung fu
Insects are the strongest without fail
Not the elephant, gorilla, lion or whale
To be certain, there's no doubt they're all are great
But the Hercules Beetle lifts a thousand times its weight

I’ve been using these for years and love them. Sometimes instead of tucking the excess hair under it, I’ll collect and braid it around the base of the bun. With fine hair, that’s super hard to do but the color is such a good match its okay to have a few small gaps. What I love most are the bobby pins with this! I use then weekly even without hair sponge! Really wish I could find just those! They are so much better than Scunci, Goody or Kitsch bobby pins that catch, snag and break hair!

Write me the first verse and chorus for a song about stumping your toe
|
Verse:
Oh, I was walking across the hall to my living room,
When I saw myself a chair.
I turned and walked towards it,
But much to my despair,
When I stepped, I stepped too quickly,
And I subbed my bloody toe,
And I think you know what that means,
If you know, you surely know.
Chorus:
Hi Ho Hi Ho I stubbed my toe.
I just can't take any more.
Hi Ho Hi Ho I stubbed my toe.
Now I'm rolling around on the floor.
Oh, why don't I learn when I'm walking,
That there is danger all around?
I guess I'm just doomed to be rolling,
Rolling around on the ground.

Can you write a biography about Martin Van Buren? Make the biography at least 2 paragraphs and write with a favorable emotion. Can you also make the biography in the style of a letter?
|
Dear Daniel,
I have some information about Martin Van Buren and I feel that you would find it fascinating! To start, Martin was the eighth President of the United States. He was born in Kinderhook, New York, to Dutch parents in 1782. Van Buren grew up in a family of farmers and received a very limited education before studying law and entering politics. This is where Buren found his niche, in politics.
Buren was renowned for being a skilled politician who rose through the ranks of New York politics before serving as Andrew Jackson's Secretary of State and Vice President. Then he was elected President of the United States in 1837. Buren did well, but despite his success, he was known for the economic troubles of the Panic of 1837. After leaving office, Van Buren remained still active in politics and dedicated his life to serving the people of the United States. Van Buren passed away on July 24th, 1862, but still to this day he is known as a successful politician. I think you would find it interesting to do more diligence on Martin Van Buren. Let me know if you find anything interesting! Thank you for reading.
Sincerely,
John

Write a short passage about a bookworm named Hestia going to a bookstore that a kind man named Tom owns, and her feelings when she first enters.
|
Hestia shifted uncomfortably from one foot to the other, rubbing at her arms. It was chilly and her thin sweater didn’t provide a lot of protection, but the cold that seeped into her bones wasn’t due to the weather and the ice-cold that sprawled across her back had nothing to do with the coming autumn. It was another kind of cold entirely.
Gingerly, Hestia walked up the stone steps and into the bookstore.
“Just a moment,” Tom called from deep within the dark and gloomy shop. Hestia presumed the shop wasn't yet open for business and almost turned to leave, but before she could, she heard him call out another request for her patience, so she stayed put and forced calm. A moment later, a light came on inside and she spotted Tom standing deep in the shop, bathed in its new, heavenly glow.
A soft gasp escaped her.
Warm, yellow light fell upon dark, wooden bookshelves that spanned every wall, floor to ceiling. Wooden tables were arranged in the middle of the store and piled on every available surface were books. Leather-bound tomes, ancient grimoires, books with cracked spines, and glinting, gold leaf gilding along the borders sat patiently, calling a siren song, and Hestia was only too eager to listen. Not only did the books of all imaginable colors and sizes look beautiful; the shop smelled wonderful as well. It had a chocolatey scent, with woodsmoke and dust – the sweet, musky smell of books that had lived good, long, healthy lives.
If heaven was on earth, Hestia had found it.
