<|im_start|>system You are a helpful AI assistant.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Given the text: In 1857 Pasteur was appointed assistant director in charge of scientific studies and of general administration at the school from which he graduated, the École Normale Supérieure in Paris. In addition to organization of the curriculum, his administrative duties included the supervision of housing, board, medical care, and general discipline of the students, as well as the relations between the school and parents and other educational establishments. As shown by his reports, he did not take these new responsibilities lightly. He administered the problems of household management with as much thoroughness and vigor as he devoted to the reorganization of advanced studies. His title of director of scientific studies at the École Normale might give the impression that he had at his disposal large and well-equipped laboratories, with many assistants and generous budgets, but in fact he had limited facilities. During the early years after his return to Paris he worked alone and had to make many of his instruments. Pasteur&apos;s return to Paris marked the beginning of an era of incredible activity. His investigative work can conveniently be divided into two periods separated by the year 1877. The scientific activities of the period 1857-77 can be considered under several separate scientific headings, but it must be emphasized again that these headings are arbitrary and justified only by reasons of convenience in presentation. What were the limitations faced by Pasteur in terms of laboratory facilities after his return to Paris, and how did he overcome them to continue his scientific research?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant After his return to Paris, Pasteur had limited laboratory facilities and had to work alone.

She gathered a group of volunteers and, with the help of some friends, set out to the devastated region to provide aid. As they arrived in the town, they were surprised to see how severe the damage was. People were left without homes, food, and water, and many were injured, traumatized, and in need of medical help. The group quickly set up a makeshift medical station, and Maria jumped right in to offer her services. As she worked tirelessly, Maria was struck by the resilience of the people of the town. In spite of the devastation, they were strong and determined, and they inspired her to keep going. She knew that they needed more help, so she used her social media platform to reach out for donations and volunteers. People from all over the country responded to Maria's call for help, and soon enough, trucks started arriving with food, water, and supplies. Maria and her team worked tirelessly day and night to distribute these resources to the people in need. Days turned into weeks, and Maria's team worked tirelessly to help the affected town. Their work paid off, and soon enough, the town began to recover. The residents were grateful for the help they received and thanked Maria and her team for their selfless service. For Maria, though, this was just the beginning of her journey. She spent the next few months working with the people of the town to help them rebuild their homes and their lives. And as she looked around at the happy and prosperous town, she realized that this experience had taught her that people can achieve anything when they come together in times of crisis. Maria's actions helped transform people's lives, and her exemplary act of kindness inspires people to become helpers and engage in charitable works.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Wow, Maria is such an inspiring person!

<|im_start|>system You are a helpful AI assistant.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Here is a piece of text: These online classes will have you coding in no time at all. Now you might be asking: What can you do with Python? Python is the official language of Google, it powers Instagram, and it even runs on chips Intel tests. It’s a scripting language that can automate all sorts of tasks, big or small. You can do just about anything with Python that you can do with other languages. But it also has some distinct advantages. Many of Python’s benefits stem from the wide variety of libraries it has amassed since launching in 1991. These libraries can be thought of as tools or programs that handle a lot of the coding for you. For example, libraries like Requests, BeautifulSoup, and Scrapy can extract data from webpages. While Pandas, SciPy, and NumPy can help you manipulate and analyze massive datasets. That’s why developers often turn to Python for data science, statistics, web scraping, and artificial intelligence, but it’s also advancing into web development. Python and its tools can even open doors to a new career or a promotion. The average yearly salary for a Python developer in the U.S. Is more than $100,000, according to Indeed. Python is now the most trafficked language on Stack Overflow. It’s also likely to stay relevant for years to come. According to the 2018 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, nearly two-fifths of coders on the Q&A site said they use Python. The language has gained in popularity from last year, surpassing C# and taking the seventh spot among coding languages. So you’ll find plenty of tutorials, explainers, and a large active online community to help you along your coding journey. So how can you get started? If you don’t have time to attend a physical coding school or you want to save money, learning Python in an online class is a worthy alternative. I’ve culled some of the best of those online courses below. Some courses I tried myself, but others I selected based on their customer reviews, popularity, and breadth of material. With various lengths, difficulty levels, and specialization, you’re sure to find one that meets your particular needs. Lynda.com is just one of many online-learning sites that offer an array of Python courses. For a monthly subscription fee, online education websites like Lynda, Coursera, Skillshare, and others offer a wide variety of courses you can choose from for learning at your own pace. Subjects range from design to business to photography. But coding is one of the most popular, which means you’ll encounter a multitude of options for learning Python. What’s more, subscription options typically offer a free or discounted trial period, so you can gauge your interest before committing to the full price. This class on Coursera from the University of Michigan is for complete beginners to programming. After a general introduction to programming, the course teaches you how to use Python to extract data from the web and work with databases. It’s a good demonstration of how Python can be useful for managing large datasets. The course suggests eight hours a week for four months. Knowing how to work with IDE software, which stands for integrated development environment, is essential for any coder. Essentially, IDEs are advanced text editors for writing code. This course from Lynda teaches you the basics of Python with PyCharm, which is the one of the most widely used IDEs for the language. DataCamp is an online portal full of new and regularly updated courses mostly focused on data science for R and Python languages. The website offers different skill and career tracks for Python, consisting of multiple courses with a particular focus, be it programming, data analytics, or data science. Each course on the site features interactive exercises, videos, and quizzes to help you learn. Expect to get a grasp on extracting and working with data, using statistical libraries such as Pandas and NumPy, and creating charts to visualize your data. DataCamp also has daily quizzes and projects you can tackle using real-world datasets. Both new coders and developers looking to brush up on their skills will find this site worthwhile. Choose one of DataCamp’s career tracks and then follow the prescribed selection of courses toward that goal. If you’d like to buy permanent access to a single course, then you may want to consider enrolling in an online class from websites like edX, Udemy, and Udacity. These courses are typically much longer and have more content than classes on subscription-based online education sites. And don’t be intimidated by the prices: You can regularly find classes marked down by as much as 95 percent. Microsoft created this free edX course to promote coding and provide an overview of the language for complete beginners. It teaches you the basics of Python through Jupyter Notebooks, which is an interactive coding environment hosted in a web browser. Expect to learn the essentials of programming including how to reuse functions. After you complete this course, you can take the next level from Microsoft called Introduction to Python: Fundamentals. This online course from MIT on edX is perfect if you’re looking for an introduction to computer science with Python. It begins with a general overview of computer science before going into data science techniques. The class recommends 15 hours a week across nine weeks, making it more demanding than many introductory courses. Real instructors from MIT teach the course through a combination of lecture videos, readings, and assignments. Like a typical college class, you’ll be expected to take tests and complete a final project. Be warned: This class isn’t easy and requires a working knowledge of algebra. Preview courses in Udemy to see what’s in store. One of Python’s most powerful uses is in artificial intelligence and machine learning. This “nanodegree” course from Udacity goes over all the basics of programming and then applies your new knowledge to build a neural network. The course recommends 10 hours a week over a two month period. Machine learning can help teach a program to make better decisions based on data it consumes. The “smart reply” pre-written responses in Gmail is one example of machine learning and AI at work. According to an MIT Technology Review Custom and Google survey, more than one-fifth of U.S. Firms said 15 percent or more of their IT budget was going to machine learning in 2017. So this is a field that’s growing and in need of programmers. This is an incredibly comprehensive course from Georgia Tech on edX. Not only will you get a grasp on Python, but you’ll also be taught the fundamentals of computer science and the theories behind programming, including variables, operators, data structures, error handling, and data structures. The course delivers all this material through a combination of short videos, multiple choice assignments, and live programming problems. At 200 recommended hours of instruction over 20 weeks, the course is the longest on our list. If you want a more structured course, this virtual classroom from QuickStart might be the way to go. It places you in a four-day intensive class with other students and a live instructor who walks you through materials, answers questions, and oversees lab work. This class will go over the basics of Python coding and more advance concepts like APIs, resulting in a certificate upon completion. Indeed, QuickStart promises that you will be “effective with Python immediately after the course.” But it’s not cheap: Seats go for nearly $2,500 a pop. Based on the text material above, generate the response to the following quesion or instruction: Can you recommend some online courses for learning Python, and what are their key features and benefits?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes, there are several online courses for learning Python that I can recommend.

As such, it is home to numerous landmarks and monuments that have played a significant role in the city's development and growth over the years. In this article, we will delve into the unique history of five of these landmarks and explore their modern-day relevance. The CN Tower Perhaps the most iconic landmark in Toronto, the CN Tower proudly stands at 553.33 meters tall and is one of the tallest freestanding structures in the world. The tower was built in 1976 and initially served as a telecommunications hub for Canada's entire broadcast system. Named after the Canadian National Railway (CN), the tower was intended to be a symbol of national pride and technological achievement during the 1976 Olympics held in Montreal. Since its opening, the CN Tower has become an essential tourist attraction and a recognizable symbol of Toronto's skyline. Visitors can take a trip to the top of the tower for breathtaking views of the city and surrounding area. The tower also serves as an important communications center, and its observation deck has been used for numerous film and television productions, including the feature film "Inception." St. Lawrence Market Dating back to the early 19th century, the St. Lawrence Market has long been a focal point of Toronto's culinary scene. The market initially served as an indoor meeting place for farmers, merchants, and traders, but over time it has grown into a bustling hub of food and drink stalls selling local produce, meats, cheeses, and other products. The market has undergone several renovations and additions over the years, but its heritage and significance as a public gathering place have remained unchanged. Today, the St. Lawrence Market is recognized as one of Canada's best culinary destinations. Visitors can peruse the market's many food stalls or enjoy an extensive array of international cuisine, including everything from artisanal sandwiches and fresh seafood to regional specialties such as Montreal-style bagels and poutine. The Distillery District Nestled in downtown Toronto, the Distillery District is a trendy, pedestrian-only neighborhood full of rich history and personality. The area was home to the Gooderham and Worts Distillery, which was established in the 1830s and became one of the largest distilleries in the world by the early 1900s. After the distillery was shuttered in 1990, the area sat abandoned for more than a decade before being redeveloped into a bustling, art-filled district. The area's industrial architecture has been impeccably preserved, and visitors can now walk among the district's Victorian-era brick buildings, art galleries, boutique shops, and restaurants. Casa Loma Located in the heart of the city, Casa Loma is a magnificent castle-style mansion that was built in 1914. The mansion was a pet project of Sir Henry Mill Pellatt, a prominent Canadian businessman who wanted to build a home that would rival the grandeur and opulence of European castles. The mansion is now open to the public as a museum, showcasing the lifestyles and tastes of the elite class in the early 20th century. Visitors can tour Casa Loma's many opulent rooms, including a grand ballroom, wine cellar, and conservatory. The mansion also offers stunning views of the city skyline and surrounding gardens, making it a top destination for tourists and locals alike. The Royal Ontario Museum Established in 1914, the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is one of the largest and most comprehensive museums in North America. The museum houses collections of art, culture, and natural history from around the world, including exhibits on dinosaurs, Egyptian artifacts, and indigenous peoples. Over the years, the ROM has undergone numerous renovations and expansions, including the creation of a striking, cutting-edge Michael Lee-Chin Crystal addition in 2005. The ROM is a center of research and education, attracting scholars, students, and visitors from around the world. It serves as a vital cultural hub for Toronto and offers visitors the opportunity to engage with the past and explore new ideas and perspectives. Conclusion Toronto's landmarks and monuments are essential to the city's identity and heritage, showcasing its rich history, culture, and traditions. From the towering CN Tower to the bustling St. Lawrence Market, each landmark offers its unique story and contribution to Toronto's growth and evolution. These sites serve as reminders of the city's past while also providing a window into its exciting future, ensuring that Toronto continues to be a beloved destination for visitors and residents alike.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user This is a fantastic article! Can you please add more information about the history of Casa Loma? I am intrigued by its opulence and would love to know more about its architecture and design.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Certainly! Casa Loma is a stunning example of Gothic Revival architecture and was designed by prominent architect E. J. Lennox, who also designed Toronto's Old City Hall and several other prominent buildings in the city. The mansion is full of unique features and elaborate details that make it a marvel to behold. When Sir Henry Mill Pellatt commissioned the mansion's construction, he spared no expense, resulting in some of the most opulent and luxurious interior and exterior spaces in Canada. The mansion boasts 98 rooms, including luxurious guest rooms, a grand dining hall, a conservatory, a library, and several sitting rooms. The exterior of the mansion features towers, turrets, and a remarkable outdoor terrace that showcases sweeping views of the city. Every detail of Casa Loma's architecture, from the grand fireplaces to the elaborately carved woodwork, speaks to the elaborate tastes and grand visions of Sir Henry and the architects who designed and built the mansion. Despite its grandeur, however, Casa Loma was only Sir Henry's residence for a short time, and he was forced to abandon the mansion in 1923 after a series of financial setbacks. The mansion was later converted into a hotel, then served as a military training facility and a filming location for movies and television shows. It was eventually opened to the public as a museum in the 1930s. Today, Casa Loma is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, offering an immersive experience of luxury, opulence, and grandeur. The mansion is meticulously maintained, preserving the ornate details of its original design and providing a unique window into Toronto's rich history and culture.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user This is fascinating!

Her family owned a small ranch where they trained horses and competed in local shows. It was no surprise when she decided to pursue a career in equestrian sports, but she never anticipated just how competitive the world would be. Now in her late twenties, Emma was a respected rider on the professional circuit. She had proven herself in several competitions, but the stakes were always high. Her ambition was to compete in the Olympics, but it seemed like a distant dream. She arrived at the training facility early in the morning. The sun had just started to rise, casting a warm glow over the rolling hills. The crisp morning air carried the sound of hooves, signaling that the other riders had already begun their training. Emma got dressed quickly and made her way to the stables. She greeted her horse, Prince, who nuzzled her hand affectionately. As she saddled up, she glanced around the stables, taking in the horses and riders in various stages of training. She saw some familiar faces, including Danielle, a top-ranked rider and fierce competitor. "Going to the competition this weekend?" Danielle asked, her tone casual but her eyes intensely scrutinizing Emma. Emma nodded warily, knowing that Danielle was always on the lookout for any weakness. They had been rivals for years, each vying for the top spot in the rankings. "Yes, I'll be there," Emma replied. Danielle smirked, "Well, good luck with that. I heard that the course is particularly difficult this year." Emma gritted her teeth, refusing to let Danielle shake her confidence. As she started her training with Prince, Emma lost herself in the rhythm of the ride. There was nothing else in the world but the horse beneath her and the challenge of the obstacles ahead. But as the days went on, Emma began to feel the weight of the competition. Her trainer, Jack, pushed her harder than ever before, urging her to push beyond her limits. It was late one night when Emma found herself alone with Jack in the stables. They had been working late, getting Prince ready for the upcoming competition. As they finished up, Jack turned to her, admiration in his eyes. "You have a real talent, Emma. I'm proud of you," he said. Emma felt a surge of emotion, knowing how hard Jack had worked to get her to where she was. She looked up at him, her heart racing, and suddenly he leaned in and kissed her. Emma was caught off guard but she couldn't deny the feelings that had been building up between them. Jack was her trainer, her mentor, but he was also the only person who saw her for who she really was. As the competition approached, Emma and Jack found themselves drawn together more and more. They spent their off hours talking about their dreams and their struggles, learning more about each other than they ever had before. When it finally came time to compete, Emma was nervous but focused. She and Prince moved like a well-oiled machine, navigating the tricky course with ease. But as she came around the final turn, she saw Danielle ahead of her, seemingly flawless in her performance. Emma dug deep, channeling all of her passion and determination into the ride. In the final moments, she and Prince surged ahead, crossing the finish line just ahead of Danielle. Emma felt her heart swell with pride as she was announced as the winner of the competition. She was surrounded by other riders and trainers, all congratulating her on her performance. But as she looked around, all she could see was Jack, smiling at her with the utmost pride and love. She knew that in this high-stakes world of professional equestrian sports, she had finally found the one thing she had been searching for all along - true love.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user This is a great start, but could you add more scenes that showcase the relationship between the characters and their horses, and maybe some moments of vulnerability where they reveal their fears and doubts about the sport?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Of course!

Additionally, provide tips on achieving the perfect texture and flavor, such as using the right amount of butter and seasoning, as well as variations and alternatives for adding ingredients like cheese, veggies, or meat. Use clear, numbered steps and include pictures or videos if possible for better comprehension.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant To make the perfect omelet, follow these steps: Ingredients: - 2-3 large eggs - Salt - Black pepper - Butter - Optional: cheese, veggies, or meat Step 1: Break 2-3 large eggs into a bowl and beat them with a fork until the yolks and whites are blended. For a fluffier omelet, you can add a bit of milk or water. Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. As the butter melts, swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly. Step 3: Pour the beaten eggs into the center of the pan and use a fork to spread them evenly over the surface. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about a minute or until the edges begin to set. Step 4: Use a spatula to lift the edges of the omelet and allow the uncooked eggs to spill onto the pan. Continue doing this until there's no more liquid egg left on the surface. Step 5: Add your desired filling (cheese, veggies, or meat) onto one side of the omelet. Step 6: Use the spatula to lift the other side of the omelet over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press lightly on the top of the omelet with the spatula to ensure it has sealed. Step 7: Cook for another minute or until the cheese has melted and the omelet is golden brown. Step 8: Use the spatula to slide the omelet onto a plate, fold it in half one more time, and serve hot. Tips: - Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the eggs from sticking to the pan and burning. - Don't overcook the eggs, as they will become tough and rubbery. - Season the eggs with salt and black pepper before cooking for added flavor. - Experiment with different ingredients for filling, such as mushrooms, ham, spinach, or onions. - If you're adding ingredients that need to be cooked, sauté them before adding to the omelet. - Add a bit more butter to the pan before pouring in the beaten eggs for a richer flavor.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Can you add some variations or alternatives for adding ingredients besides cheese, veggies, or meat? Maybe something for a sweet omelet?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Sure, here are some variations or alternatives for filling your omelet: 1.

Breakfast Omelet: Mix in cooked bacon or sausage, hash browns, chopped onions, and bell peppers for a delicious breakfast omelet. 3. Mediterranean Omelet: Add feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, chopped olives, and fresh herbs like basil or oregano for a Mediterranean twist. 4. Tex-Mex Omelet: Mix in some cooked ground beef or chicken, chopped tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño for a spicy Tex-Mex omelet. 5. Seafood Omelet: Add cooked shrimp, crab meat, and diced tomatoes to make a savory seafood omelet. 6. Veggie Omelet: Try different vegetables like sautéed mushrooms, diced potatoes, peas, corn, or bell peppers for a flavorful veggie omelet. 7.

Fruit Omelet: Instead of a savory omelet, consider a sweet fruit omelet with ingredients like sliced bananas, strawberries, blueberries, or apples. 9. Nutella Omelet: Spread a tablespoon of Nutella onto one side of the omelet, then fold it over and serve. Remember to adjust your seasoning based on your choice of ingredients, and practice makes perfect!<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Could you provide some tips on how to fold the omelet properly without it breaking apart?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Sure, here are some tips on how to fold the omelet properly: 1. Use a spatula to loosen the edges of the omelet before folding it. This will prevent the edges from sticking to the pan and tearing when you fold it. 2. Use the spatula to fold one side of the omelet over the filling, then tilt the pan to slide the other side of the omelet over it. 3. If the omelet is too big to fold over, you can also use the spatula to fold the omelet in half and serve it as a half-moon shape. 4. Don't overfill the omelet with ingredients or it may break apart when you try to fold it. Keep the filling to one side of the omelet and leave a bit of empty space around the edges. 5. Make sure the omelet is cooked thoroughly before folding it. If the center is still liquid, it may break apart during the folding process. 6. Practice makes perfect! Folding an omelet takes some skill and practice, so don't worry if it doesn't turn out perfectly the first few times.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Thanks for the tips on folding the omelet, they were helpful!

Use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs as they have a bigger texture and will create a crisper coating. 2. Browning the breadcrumbs in butter or oil in a pan before coating the chicken will make them crispier. 3. Refrigerate the chicken nuggets for at least 30 minutes before frying to help the coating adhere better and prevent it from falling off during frying. 4. Temperature of the oil is important - it should be at 350-375°F to prevent the coating from absorbing too much oil and to achieve the perfect crispness. 5. Don't overcrowd the frying pan if you are frying in batches. Overcrowding can cause the oil to lower in temperature and the chicken nuggets will not fry evenly. 6. Place the chicken nuggets on a wire rack to drain any excess oil and maintain their crispiness. Following these tips should help to achieve a super crispy exterior, while keeping the chicken tender and juicy on the inside. Enjoy!<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I'll make sure to give them a try when making the chicken nuggets.

<|im_start|>system You are a helpful AI assistant.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Can you summarize the findings of the University of South Carolina researchers' study on mothers' caloric needs from 1965 to 2010, and the impact of reduced physical activity levels on calorie intake? Answer according to: According to a new study, researchers are reporting that mothers living in today's world need fewer calories per day in comparison to mothers who lived in 1965. The researchers from the University of South Carolina stated that due to media and reduced hours spent on housework, mothers today do not need as many calories as mothers in the past did. The team reported that the calorie difference from then to now is around 200. For this study, the researchers examined data gathered over a span of 45 years. The team separated the women into two groups. The first group was made up of mothers with children aged five and younger. When the researchers compared the mothers' physical activity levels to physical activity levels of the mothers with children of the same age group living in 1965, they found that mothers today performed around 14 hours less exercise. The hours fell from 44 hours of activity a week to less than 30 hours of activity per week. This translated to two fewer hours of exercise per day in 2010, which the researchers calculated to be an extra 225 calories. On a weekly basis, women in today's world have an extra 1,573 calories when compared to mothers in 1965. The second group of mothers had children between the ages of six and 18. For this group, the researchers found that from 1965 to 2010, the number of hours spent doing some sort of physical activity fell from 32 hours to 21 hours a week respectively. The difference of 11 hours is equivalent to an extra 177 calories per day or 1,238 calories per week. The researchers concluded that mothers living today need around 175 to 225 fewer calories than mothers in 1965. Physical activity was measured based on general child care, playing with children, prepping meals, cleaning up meals, general housework and time spent exercising or participating in sports. The researchers also reported that not only are mothers spending less time doing housework, they are also spending more time sitting in front of a screen. In a previous study published earlier this year, researchers found that women living in 2010 spent around 25 percent more time in front of computers and television as opposed to cooking, cleaning and doing laundry. "With each passing generation, mothers have become increasingly physically inactive, sedentary, and obese, thereby potentially predisposing children to an increased risk of inactivity, adiposity [fat], and chronic non-communicable diseases," lead researcher Edward Archer said according to Daily Mail. "Given that physical activity is an absolute prerequisite for health and wellness, it is not surprising that inactivity is now a leading cause of death and disease in developed nations. Inactivity has increased significantly over the past 45 years and may be the greatest public health crisis facing the world today." Due to the possibility of passing down sedentary habits to future generations, the researchers hope that their findings could encourage mothers to be more active. Physical activity does not have to be household work-related.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Mothers living in today's world require fewer calories per day than mothers in 1965 due to decreased physical activity and reduced hours spent on housework, according to a study by researchers from the University of South Carolina. For women with children under five, the calorie difference amounts to 200 calories, equal to a drop in physical activity from 44 hours per week in 1965 to less than 30 hours in 2010. For mothers of children aged 6-18, the number of hours spent doing some form of exercise fell from 32 hours to 21 hours a week. The researchers found the reduction equivalent to 175 to 225 fewer calories per day for mothers in 2010.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Can you recommend some easy physical activities that mothers can do with their children to increase their daily physical activity levels?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Sure!

Make sure to include detailed world-building elements, unique and compelling character development, and twists and turns to keep readers on the edge of their seats. The story should center around the mission to save history but should also explore deeper themes such as the consequences of altering past events and the value of teamwork when facing daunting obstacles.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant In the year 2525, Earth faced a devastating threat. A rogue planet was on a collision course with our planet and scientists were unable to prevent the inevitable. However, a group of time travelers known as The Chronos Squad presented a solution. They proposed traveling through time and altering key historical events to prevent the creation of the rogue planet in the first place. The Chronos Squad consisted of five members with unique abilities. There was Max, the team leader, who possessed extraordinary strength and agility. Lena, a brilliant scientist who was an expert in technology and weaponry. Marcos, a brilliant strategist with an eidetic memory who could recall every detail of any event he witnessed. Sana, the peacekeeper of the team, who could communicate with any individual in any language, and finally, Kaori, a master of disguise with the ability to blend into any setting unnoticed. Their first mission was to the ancient city of Babylon, where they had to prevent the assassination of King Nebuchadnezzar. The king was crucial to the timeline as he laid the foundation for the Hanging Gardens, a marvel of the ancient world. However, their mission was complicated when they discovered that one of their team members, Lena, had been replaced by a shape-shifter. Despite the odds, the Chronos Squad successfully prevented the assassination of the king, but they also realized the consequences of their actions. By altering the timeline, they had created a ripple effect, and history was not unfolding as it should have. This realization made them reevaluate the importance of their mission and the potential consequences of altering history. The team traveled through different eras, from ancient Greece to the Middle Ages, facing numerous obstacles, including betrayals from within the team and the discovery of an organization hell-bent on preserving the integrity of time. As they progressed through their missions, they also witnessed the impact of their actions on the present. The final mission was to prevent the creation of the rogue planet. However, the team was trapped in a battle between two powerful factions, The Guardians of Time and The Keepers of the Universe. The fate of Earth hung in the balance as the Chronos Squad fought to survive and complete their mission. In a series of twists and turns, the Chronos Squad was finally able to prevent the creation of the rogue planet, but not without heavy losses. The team realized that although they had saved Earth, their actions had permanently altered the timeline. The conclusion of their journey was bittersweet as they realized that they couldn't restore the timeline to its original state. The Chronos Squad disbanded, and each team member returned to their own time period. However, they had all been changed by their journey. They had gained a deeper appreciation for the importance of teamwork, the consequences of altering history, and the value of preserving the fabric of time. It was a journey they would never forget, and one that would stay with them for the rest of their lives.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Wow, this story sounds intense!

My grandmother had passed away unexpectedly, and I was the one tasked with making the arrangements for her funeral. At first, I was so overwhelmed with sadness that I couldn't think straight. My grandmother had been my rock, my guiding light, my everything. She was the one who had taught me how to tie my shoes, ride a bike, and bake my favorite chocolate chip cookies. Losing her felt like losing a piece of myself. As I began to make the calls and arrangements, I realized that this event had larger implications for me. I was the oldest grandchild, and my grandmother had always been the glue that held our family together. Without her, I wondered if we would ever be able to be as close as we once were. The day of the funeral was one of the most emotional of my life. I was so focused on making sure everything went smoothly, that I didn't allow myself to fully grieve. It wasn't until the end of the service, when I stood in front of her casket, that it hit me. My grandmother was gone, and my world was forever changed. In the days and weeks following, I found myself struggling to adjust to my new reality. I felt like I was living in a fog, going through the motions of my daily routine without any real purpose or meaning. I missed her so much, and every reminder of her, from the smell of her perfume to the sound of her laugh, made me ache. But as time went on, I began to realize that my grandmother's legacy lived on in me. She had instilled in me values like kindness, empathy, and resilience, and I was determined to carry those values forward in her absence. I also realized how important it was for me to continue to nurture my relationships with the rest of my family, even if it wasn't always easy. Now, several years later, I still think of my grandmother every day. Her passing was a moment that forever altered the course of my life, but it also gave me a greater appreciation for the people and experiences that matter most. I still miss her deeply, but I know that she would be proud of the person I have become, and that gives me some measure of comfort.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Can you give me more details on how your grandmother impacted your spirituality or belief system?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Thank you for asking.

If so, how were they dealt with?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes, there have been many instances of piracy and attacks on Brig ships during their operations. Brig ships were often targeted by pirates and privateers due to their speed and versatility. One notable instance of piracy on Brig ships was the attack on the HMS Speedy by the Spanish privateer El Gamo in 1801. The Speedy, a British Brig ship, was carrying dispatches and important documents when it was attacked by El Gamo off the coast of Spain. Despite being heavily outnumbered and outgunned, the Speedy managed to fight back and eventually capture the El Gamo. In another instance, the American Brig USS Argus was captured by the British vessel HMS Pelican in 1813. The Argus was outmatched and outgunned, and after a fierce battle, was eventually forced to surrender to the Pelican. To deal with piracy and attacks on Brig ships, various countries employed different tactics. Some nations, such as the United States, would employ armed guards on their vessels to defend against attacks. Others, like the British, would use naval escorts to protect their Brig ships. In some cases, naval vessels would pursue and capture or sink pirate or privateer ships.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user It's interesting to know how Brig ships were able to defend themselves against piracy and attacks. Were there any specific weapons or military tactics used by these ships?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes, Brig ships were designed to be fast, maneuverable, and heavily armed, making them effective in defending against piracy and attacks. The most common weaponry used by Brig ships was their cannons. These ships typically had between 6 to 18 cannons mounted on their decks, which were used to fire on enemy vessels. Brig ships also often carried smaller firearms, like muskets and pistols, which could be used in close combat. In terms of tactics, Brig ships were able to use their speed and maneuverability to their advantage. They could outrun larger or slower ships and turn quickly to avoid being hit by enemy fire. Brig ships were also able to perform maneuvers like crossing the T or taking advantage of the wind to gain an advantage in battle. One notable tactic employed by Brig ships was the use of boarding parties. In some cases, naval officers would lead small teams of sailors in boarding enemy vessels in close combat. This tactic was risky but could be very effective in neutralizing enemy ships and capturing their crews. In summary, Brig ships were usually armed with cannons and small firearms, and relied on their speed and maneuverability to defend against piracy and attacks. They also used various tactical maneuvers and boarding parties to gain the upper hand in combat.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Wow, Brig ships were really impressive in terms of their defense capabilities.

Through these symbols, Fitzgerald is able to convey the central themes of the novel, including the pursuit of the American Dream, the corrupting influence of wealth and power, the illusion of the past, and the emptiness of the modern world. The green light, for example, represents Gatsby's quest to achieve his dreams and capture the elusive Daisy, while the eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg critique the moral decay and corruption of the society in which the characters live. Overall, the use of symbolism in "The Great Gatsby" enables Fitzgerald to convey complex ideas and themes in a way that is both subtle and powerful, enhancing the impact and meaning of the novel.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I always thought the use of the green light was really interesting. It's such a simple image but it carries so much meaning.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes, the green light is a key symbol in "The Great Gatsby" and is often used to represent the characters' hopes and dreams. In the novel, the green light is located across the water from Gatsby's mansion and is visible to him from his bedroom. The light is a symbol of Gatsby's yearning for his past love, Daisy, and represents his hopes and aspirations for the future. Moreover, the green light is also symbolic of the American Dream, which is often associated with the pursuit of material wealth and success. Gatsby's pursuit of the green light symbolizes his pursuit of the American Dream, which he believes can be achieved through wealth and power. Overall, the use of the green light as a symbol in "The Great Gatsby" underscores the themes of longing, yearning, aspiration, and the corrupting influence of the American Dream, making it one of the most powerful symbols in the novel.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user "I also found it interesting how the green light seemed to represent new beginnings for Gatsby. Despite his past with Daisy, he was still hopeful for what the future may hold."<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes, that's a great observation! The green light can be seen as a symbol of hope and new beginnings for Gatsby, despite his complicated past with Daisy<|im_end|>

Given material: We all wondered how Pippa Middleton would promote her new book. Would she talk about Kate Middleton and Prince William? How would she handle the naked scandal and barely there weight questions? But it seems instead of quick thinking and witty evasions, Pippa is just not going to talk at all – literally. The royals banned Pippa from promoting her new party-planning book, Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Families and Friends in the UK and the US and probably all the other countries on the planet. Apparently Kate and Wills (and all the others) are so worried about their negative exposure this past summer they aren’t willing to let Pippa go hog wild with a microphone. It’s bad for royal business. Unfortunately, it’s bad for Pippa’s business too but nobody seems to care about that. Publishing sources in the UK have told the Royalist that St James’s Palace – HQ for Kate – have been ‘a nightmare’ to deal with throughout the book deal, and now, it seems, with a ban on Pippa doing any press whatsoever, the final coup de grace has been delivered. The failure of an author to get behind a book and help with its promotion all but guarantees that most media outlets will decline to feature the book prominently, especially given that it is being released in the busiest time of year for publishing when the shelves are packed with celebrities only to happy to dish in return for some airtime. For a novelist, the impact may not be so severe as the book largely stands or falls on its own merits, but for a personality-driven book like this, failure of the personality to appear and promote the book at all is a disaster for the publishers. The Beast also pointed out that most contracts between writers and publishers involve contractual promotional obligations and Pippa was probably no exception. If the book tanks, they might be able to go after her for money, which lucky for Pippa, isn’t that big of a deal since she wasn’t paid the kind of money her parents couldn’t bail her out from. But why write the book in the first place if she knew the royal family was going to c-ck block her career on every turn? Would everything have turned out differently if Kate would have kept her clothes on? I’d be P-SSED! First Pippa’s a royal moocher and a social climber but then she tries to make something happen and the royal family slams the glass slipper down! What’s a girl to do? She’s the future King’s sister-in-law. Everything she ever does for the rest of her life is going to be looked at as taking advantage of her royal connections. Now, let me contain myself. How can the royals really stop Princess Pippa from promoting her book if she wants to do it? There’s a line in the sand being drawn and essentially the royals are saying “You’re either with us or against us.” And Pippa wants in. She’s always wanted in. She’s taking a mighty big one for the team on this and she’ll get rewarded. Trust. Pippa is no Sarah Ferguson (who had a disastrous show on Oprah’s network FYI). She didn’t grow up watching polo matches mixing with aristocracy. Pippa was always on the outside looking in. You don’t think the royal family knows that? They’ll let her hang around the castle a few times, enjoy her Wimbledon tickets and even ask her up to Balmoral this year for Christmas. What book? Pippa’s almost too easy. Putty in their hands. Do you think it’s fair the royal family is banning Pippa Middleton’s book promotions? Should we really cry for Pippa? She’s a grown woman who can do whatever she wants. Did she just decide she’d rather be a member of the Firm rather than a celebrity? Can Pippa get any more boring?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant According to the article, the royals have banned Pippa Middleton from promoting her new book due to concerns about negative exposure. This ban is a disaster for the publishers of her personality-driven book, as failure of the personality to appear and promote the book all but guarantees that most media outlets will decline to feature it prominently. While Pippa may face contractual promotional obligations, the article questions why she wrote the book in the first place knowing about the royals’ objections. However, the author argues that Pippa is taking a “mighty big one for the team” and will be rewarded by the royal family. The article concludes by questioning whether it is fair to ban Pippa from book promotions and suggesting that she may have decided she’d rather be a member of the royal family than a celebrity.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Could you please summarize the reasons why the royals banned Pippa from promoting her book?

It has been months since I saw you last but my heart still skips a beat at the thought of you. The distance may separate us physically, but my thoughts and feelings of you are always close by. Do you remember the night we first met, when our eyes locked and I felt a sudden fluttering in my chest? That moment was the start of an intense and intoxicating love that has only grown since then. Even now, as I write this, every word carries with it a longing for your voice, touch, and your presence next to mine. In our moments of intimacy, I have felt an overwhelming sense of purity and a deep connection that I have never experienced before. The sensation of your touch against my skin and the sound of your breathing as you lie next to me feels like a dream come true. I have never felt as alive and as loved as I do with you.

Yet, with each passing moment, I am reminded of the love I have for you, and how it continues to grow even when we are miles apart. I close my eyes, and I am transported back to the moments we shared together. The moments when we explored each other, and nothing else mattered; the moments where all that existed was you and I. I remember the electric shock that raced through my body when you first touched me. I remember the way you whispered in my ear, and my heart skipped a beat. Our love is like a fire that never fades, and each time we are together, it is reignited. I still remember vividly the last time we were together. The way your eyes met mine and how we held each other so tightly that it felt like we could never let go. I felt your love pulse through me. My love, I hope that we can be with each other again soon so that our hearts can merge and become one. Until then, know that my love continues to burn brightly for you, and my heart yearns for you every day. Forever yours, (Your name) Letter Three: My Love, As I sit down to write this letter, I am filled with a sense of joy that comes with knowing that you are mine. Despite the distance, our love continues to thrive, and I am continuously grateful for each day that we have together. When we are together, we fit like two perfect pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Our love is like a symphony—the notes that flow between us are perfect, and our love harmonizes beautifully. I smile as I think of the moments we shared, of the way your lips touched mine, and of the way we explored each other's bodies. I miss you even more now as we approach the time of year that marks the momentous day we became one. I remember vividly the way you looked at me with love in your eyes, the way you took my hand and said, “Forever and always, my love.” I felt loved and cherished.

She was content to blend into the background and let others take the lead, never drawing attention to herself or her thoughts. But all of this changed one day when Karen was asked to give a speech at her company's annual meeting. Initially, she was terrified at the prospect and considered backing out. Her stomach twisted into knots, and her palms started to sweat at the mere thought of standing in front of a large audience and delivering a speech. But something in Karen's heart urged her to give it a try. She felt a strange sense of excitement and a flicker of curiosity about what it would be like to stand in front of a group of people and speak her mind. So she took a deep breath, squared her shoulders, and stepped up to the podium. At first, Karen stumbled a bit, her voice shaking with nervousness as she struggled to find the right words. But then something magical happened. As she looked out at the crowd, she felt a wave of energy and confidence rush through her body. She began to speak with more conviction and passion, her words flowing smoothly and easily. The audience was transfixed. They listened intently to Karen's words, hanging on every sentence as she painted vivid pictures with her language and captured their imaginations. Karen felt a rush of exhilaration as she continued to speak, her voice growing stronger and more confident with every passing moment. She felt like she was on top of the world, as if she'd suddenly discovered a talent she never knew she had. After the speech, people came up to Karen and congratulated her on her performance. They told her how inspiring her words had been and how much they'd enjoyed listening to her speak. Karen felt a sense of pride and accomplishment that she'd never experienced before. From that moment on, Karen's life was never the same. She began to seek out new opportunities to speak in public, delivering speeches about topics she was passionate about and inspiring others to follow their dreams. She became a sought-after speaker and a respected authority in her field, all thanks to the courage and determination she'd found inside herself that day. As Karen looked back on her journey, she realized that sometimes the greatest discoveries in life come not from our strengths, but from the challenges we face and the fears we overcome. And she knew that she'd never have realized her true potential if she hadn't taken that first step out of her comfort zone and embraced the unknown.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user That was a great start to my story, but I feel like I need more details on the specific challenges karen faced as she began her journey to becoming a public speaker.

Additionally, include dialogue and interactions with any characters the protagonist may encounter in or around the castle, as well as a resolution or conclusion that ties the story together.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant As the young explorer made his way through the craggy mountain terrain, his heart beat with excitement and anticipation. He had long heard rumors of a hidden castle nestled within the jagged peaks, and now he was finally on the brink of discovering it for himself. The journey was treacherous, with rocky cliffs and deep chasms stretching out before him at every turn. The explorer pushed himself to the brink of exhaustion, determined not to turn back until he had found what he was looking for. Finally, after hours of wandering through winding tunnels and over rocky outcroppings, the explorer caught sight of something that made his heart skip a beat. There, in the distance, was the unmistakable silhouette of a towering castle, seemingly carved right into the mountain itself. The young adventurer raced towards the castle, his mind filled with images of grand halls and hidden treasures. But as he approached the entrance, his excitement turned to apprehension. The castle was unlike any he had ever seen before. It was dark and foreboding, with twisted spires and gloomy towers rising up from the rocky ground. Taking a deep breath, the explorer stepped inside. Almost immediately, he was enveloped in a thick cloak of darkness. But as his eyes adjusted to the dim light, he began to make out the shapes of stone columns and twisted archways, each seeming to whisper secrets of an age long forgotten. As he moved further into the castle, the explorer encountered a number of strange and exotic creatures. Some of them seemed friendly, while others were decidedly less so. He spoke to them all with a mixture of fear and awe, each encounter adding new layers to the mystery of the ancient castle and the secrets it contained. As the days passed, the young explorer grew more and more consumed by his quest to uncover the castle's mysteries. But he soon came to realize that the castle held more dark secrets than he could ever have imagined. From the tortured spirits that roamed its shadowy halls, to the treacherous traps and hidden passages that lay in wait at every turn, the castle was full of dangers that threatened to consume him entirely. Determined to uncover the castle's secrets, the explorer pressed on, twisting and turning his way through its labyrinthine corridors. At long last, he discovered the source of the castle's power - an ancient, magical artifact that had been lost to the world for centuries. With the artifact in hand, the young adventurer made his way out of the castle and back into the outside world. He was changed forever by what he had encountered within the castle's walls, but it was a change for the better. For he had learned that, even in the darkest places, hope and light could be found - if one was willing to search for them.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Wow, that was a great story! I really enjoyed reading it. Can you tell me more about the exotic creatures the explorer encountered inside the castle?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Certainly!

<|im_start|>system You are a helpful AI assistant.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What are the risks associated with using OpenDPS firmware on a model other than the DPS5015, and how does its open source nature allow for customization and improvement? Answer according to: It also supports some other members of the family, like the DPS5015. Buyers beware: models are different, the OpenDPS firmware might work on a different model - or it might brick it. OpenDPS is interesting, because it adds support for a serial port (via usb or via an ESP8266 module - wireless), in addition to the fact that since this is open source, it can be improved, enhanced and people can change it if they want to. Also see the AAduino, a wireless Arduino clone the size of an AA battery with Keystone battery terminals rotated 180° to act as positive and negative terminals. It is meant to go inside a 3xAA battery holder creating a very small wireless node.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Using OpenDPS firmware on a model other than the DPS5015 can carry risks, as the firmware may not be compatible with the specific hardware of that model. This could cause the device to malfunction or even become irreparably damaged (i.e. "bricked"). However, the open source nature of the firmware allows for customization and improvement, which can potentially enhance the functionality of devices that do support it. For example, the addition of support for a serial port and wireless capabilities can provide more flexibility and options for communication with other devices. The AAduino, which is another open source project, is a small Arduino clone that can be used as a wireless node to further extend the capabilities of such projects.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Can you provide me with more information or resources on the OpenDPS firmware and how it could be customized to enhance functionality?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Sure!

I was a young girl, innocent and naive, with a heart full of wonder and a head full of dreams. It was a warm summer day, and everything in the world seemed to be alive with energy and possibility. I was at the local pool with my friends, splashing around in the cool water and soaking up the sun. And then I saw him, standing by the side of the pool with his friends, his eyes gleaming in the sunlight. It was like a bolt of lightning had hit me, electrifying every inch of my body and filling me with warmth and light. As he came closer, I could feel my heart racing, my chest tight with anticipation. His eyes met mine, and I felt a jolt of electricity shoot through me, leaving me breathless and dizzy. I had never felt anything like it before, and I knew with a fervent certainty that this was love. As we talked, I could feel my senses coming alive in ways I had never imagined. His voice was like music, sweet and melodic, and every word he spoke felt like a gift. The touch of his hand on mine made my heart race, and the scent of his aftershave lingered in my nostrils long after he had gone. It was like my entire world had shifted, and nothing would ever be the same again. I felt like I was walking on air, my head spinning with joy and exhilaration.

Here's a revised version of the essay with more details about the setting: I remember the day I fell in love like it was yesterday, even though it was many years ago. I was a young girl, innocent and naive, with a heart full of wonder and a head full of dreams. It was a warm summer day, the kind that made everything in the world seem alive with energy and possibility. All around me, the sounds of laughter and splashing echoed off the walls of the local pool. The water was a bright shade of blue, sparkling in the sunlight, and the deck was littered with towels and bags and colorful beach balls. My friends and I were having a blast, jumping in the water and seeing who could do the best cannonball. And then I saw him, standing by the side of the pool with his friends, his eyes gleaming in the sunlight. It was like a bolt of lightning had hit me, electrifying every inch of my body and filling me with warmth and light. As he came closer, I could feel my heart racing, my chest tight with anticipation. His eyes met mine, and I felt a jolt of electricity shoot through me, leaving me breathless and dizzy. Everything around me melted away, until it was just the two of us, standing there under the bright sun. As we talked, the noise of the other kids playing around us faded into the background. His voice was like music, sweet and melodic, cutting through the chaos of the pool. The colors around us seemed to be brighter and more vivid than ever before, as if the world was trying to match the intensity of my emotions. I can still see the bright green of the grass surrounding the pool, the deep blue of the sky overhead, and the warm brown of his eyes as they gazed into mine. The touch of his hand on mine made my heart race, and the scent of his aftershave lingered in my nostrils long after he had gone. All around us, the sounds of the pool slowly came back into focus: the splashing of the water, the shouts of the other kids, the faint hum of a radio playing some popular song. It was like my entire world had shifted, and nothing would ever be the same again. I felt like I was walking on air, my head spinning with joy and exhilaration. And even though I knew that this was just the beginning, I felt like I had found my soulmate, the missing piece of my heart that I had been searching for all my life.

<|im_start|>system You are a helpful AI assistant.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I know there are not many Elementary folks working with K12LTSP - that is one reason why the word needs to get out. I think often the general word is that the main reason to use Linux Thin Clients is that it is cheap. This tends to be a total turn-off to teachers who infer that this is the old "Try to make do with junk..." or for the Elementary School folks the "Give the little kids the hand-me-downs from the middle and high schools. Yes, cost is a factor but the real selling point is that of freedom... Freedom from limited access, Freedom from students losing files, Freedom from recurrent breakdowns/viruses/spyware, Freedom from being limited to the software programs that your school has purchased, Freedom from being bound inside the walls of your classroom and school. People also need to understand that it doesn't need to be all Linux or nothing... We still have Windows machines. Grades 3-5 teachers still have at least one Windows machine for their use in their classrooms and access to Windows laptops for their classes. The primary student accounts for grades 3-5 are in K12LTSP but I have just set up Samba so that students can access their Linux home folders from Windows. Since we have Star Office set up on the Windows machines the students can work on their files no matter which machines they are using. Starting with Open Source software on Windows allows a much easier migration to K12ltsp. The grades K-2 classes are still working with Windows but will probably switch to Thin Clients for writing projects next year. I think the main problem with K12LTSP is getting so many folks out of their comfort zone but the payoff is big time... Embracing K12LTSP also enables classes to tap into the myriad of educational resources on the net. One thing that greatly assisted our thin client program is that this year the SAU required all teachers who give homework to have updated homework pages. Rather than go with Homework Now or other commercial ventures, our teachers were taught how to use Star Office/Open Office to make webpages. It works fine - not all the bells and whistles of the dedicated web software but it built on their basic word processing skills, got them used to this new office suite, and then provided a ready avenue for extending these efforts to classroom websites filled with Internet links and to the use of internet-based curricular units. Sure, not everyone jumped at this opportunity but a few did and have pulled many other folks along... And the students are benefiting greatly. I have been working with educational technology as a student for years. My middle school had a lab of Windows 95/98 boxes that were constantly a problem. A teacher and I tried to set up a LTSP lab on campus, but there is great resistance in the educational sector. People don't realize that schools are wasting millions of our tax money on commercial software that can be replaced with open source technologies. I hope that awareness of this spreads. Can you provide a summary of the benefits of using Linux Thin Clients, and how it differs from the common perception of it being just a cheaper alternative?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant The main benefit of using Linux Thin Clients is freedom - freedom from limited access, from losing files, recurrent breakdowns/viruses/spyware, being limited to purchased software, and being confined to the classroom and school walls. It doesn't have to be all-Linux, as Windows machines can still be used. Open Source software on Windows also allows for easier migration to K12ltsp. The use of thin clients enables classrooms to tap into the myriad of educational resources on the net.
