The log has 47 GC operations over a 36-minute interval from 7:00 AM to 7:36 AM on 30th March 2023 UTC. 2. The GC operations start at roughly one per minute and take less than five seconds each, but after 7:23 AM, they abruptly take about 30 seconds each and occur twice a minute. In other words, initially, GC operations take up a small fraction of the JVM time, while later, they take up almost all of its time. 3. GC operations in this second period result in a very slight decrease in the total memory size and the PSYoungGen, ParOldGen, and Metaspace memory areas. This behavior is especially acute after 7:26:51 AM. 4. This indicates much time spent in GC operations with little result. 5. The total memory size initially slowly grows from 49.5GB to 52.3 GB, but in the second period maxes out at around 78 GB. 6. The allocated memory size is fixed at 82 GB during the second period of GC operations, indicating an outer limit. 7. I recommend increasing the maximum allocated memory beyond the 82 GB limit, doubling it if possible, and re-running the JVM.

Instruction: Why do you like ballet so much? Response: Ballet is a true form of art. I enjoy taking ballet classes because we always dance with beautiful piano music during the floor and barre exercises. It is so relaxing when my body naturally dances with classical music. Ballet has some rigid rules when conducting certain movements, but it truly can be creative. Anyone at any age can attend a ballet class, and can create his or her own piece of ballet dance. Many people say Ballet is an intensive sport, because one often gets very sweaty after taking a ballet class. It is true that ballet is a good exercise for anyone who takes the class or performs on a stage. But because of the beautiful music that comes along during the classes, we/ballet dancers do not feel as tired as going to a gym or running a marathon. The music helps us forget about the soreness in muscles. Our bodies are as light as feathers during turns and leaps.

Instruction: Why do people like the Grateful Dead? Response: For many music aficionados, listening to the Grateful Dead is enjoyable, based on their improvisational style, and the long jams. Prior to the Dead, most singers and bands had short three to four minute songs, that were crisp but didn't allow for the musicians in the band to take risks. They were just playing from the songbook and the notes written down. The Dead allowed for a more fluid approach, and provided the musicians with opportunities to go off script, and just play for the love of creating music. The Jam genre they created led to many other bands performing in a similar style and openness, including Phish, Dave Matthews band, Widespread Panic, Blues Travelers and many more. The Dead(as they are often called) started the trend though, and will be forever memorialized because of that.

Instruction: Can you please explain the offside rule in Soccer? Response: Soccer is a sport played between two teams with 11 players each. Out of the 11 players one is a goalkeeper. The offside rule is fundamental in soccer to avoid players from gaining unfair advantage over the opposition. A player is in an offside position if they are closer to the opposition's goal line than the last defender of the opposition team. The law states that a player is in an offside position if any of their body parts, except the hands and arms, are in the opponents' half of the pitch, and closer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last defender. Being in an offside position is not an offence in itself, but a player so positioned when the ball is played by a teammate can be judged guilty of an offside offence if they receive the ball or will otherwise become "involved in active play", will "interfere with an opponent", or will "gain an advantage" by being in that position. Offside is often considered one of the most difficult to understand aspects of the sport.

Washing hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds is essential, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after coughing, sneezing, or blowing one’s nose. If soap and water are not available, CDC recommends consumers use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. To stay informed, visit the FDA’s Hand Sanitizers and COVID-19 page. Also, take our hand sanitizer quiz.
Instruction: How do I make good pour over coffee? Response: Start with a good pour over filter holder, preferably one made of borosilicate glass, and filters especially designed for pour over coffee, such as cone filters. Use a medium-coarse grind of coffee beans, and use filtered water instead of regular tap water. The recommended ratio for coffee to water is 1:15, which means for every 1 gram of coffee, use 15 grams of water. Pour the water over the ground coffee in a circular motion, with a first pour just wetting the coffee grounds, and a second pour slow and steady until to reach the correct ratio. Sip and enjoy.

Instruction: How do you get your pilot's license? Response: Learning to fly an airplane is a fun and rewarding endeavor. There are many different reasons that people decide to pursue getting their pilot's license including the challenge of learning a new skill, having the ability to travel by private plane for business or pleasure, sightseeing, or as a career option. The process of learning to fly and getting your license requires several steps and usually takes about a year to complete. The first step is to research local flight schools and potentially do a discovery flight with a flight instructor to see if you enjoy it before committing the time and money. Should you decide to pursue it, you'll need to find and go to an Aviation Medical Examiner to get checked-out and have a student pilot and medical certificate issued. Once you've completed that you can begin your training which will include both ground school and flight school. The next step is to purchase the necessary books, study sufficiently and prepare to take an FAA written exam. While you're studying, you'll begin your flight training which requires a minimum of 40 hours of flying, however most individuals end-up flying between 60 - 75 hours. When your instructor feels you're able to demonstrate mastery of all of the required skills and are able to make sound decisions, you'll be ready to take a practical exam with either an FAA examiner or a designated examiner. Upon successful completion of your test, you'll be issued your pilots license and be ready to take up passengers. On average, the cost to get your pilot's license ranges from $8,000 to $12,000. This may sound expensive, but it's worth it to have a skill that you can enjoy for a lifetime.

Instruction: My husband and I are planning a ten-day trip to Italy in September, is this a good time to visit? Response: How exciting, September is a wonderful time to visit Italy! It is the final month of Summer in Italy when many local residents are returning to work or school which means that many of the more popular destinations will be much more accessible than if you were to visit during June, July or August. You may still find a number of tourists visiting through the first half of the month as the weather is milder than in the height of the summer. You will find plenty of beautiful sunny days so pack your shades and sunscreen and enjoy the many wonderful sights across the region. Note that within the northern areas of Italy, the weather does becomes progressively chillier in the evenings towards the end of the month so it's a good idea to pack a lightweight jacket to be sure you're protected from the elements during your visit. To you and your husband, buon viaggio!
Instruction: What's the best part of having children? Response: I am not sure if I can answer to what is the best, as I love many facets of having kids. I have three children and they are each 5 years apart. Each child has their own personality and traits however they all share their love of laughter, affection, dance, singing and all are clever. I love having a little hand in mine as we cross the street. Seeing my child's eyes light up when I am watching them do something they love brings more joy to my heart than I can explain. There is also no way to ever fully explain the feeling of love and happiness when I get a nice big hug, especially after a long day. I also learn a lot from having children like being more patient, curious, empathetic and when needed decisive and firm. There is not one thing I love best, but all the things!

Instruction: What are some tricks to baking a really good cake? Response: There are several things to consider when baking a cake. Paying particular attention to each will produce a consistent and delicious result. First, confirm that your oven temperature is correct. This is easily done with a meat thermometer. Place the thermometer in the middle of the center rack of the oven, where most food cooks. Then preheat the oven to a baking temperature (e.g. 350 degrees). After the oven has preheated, check the temperature on the thermometer and confirm that it also reads 350 degrees. Second, bring your refrigerated ingredients to room temperature before using. If your recipe calls for butter, do not microwave it as a shortcut. Doing so will change the consistency of your batter. Plan ahead and leave butter and eggs out on the counter for at least an hour before you begin baking. Third, pay close attention to recipe instructions related to sifting and measuring flour. "Two cups sifted flour" does not mean the same thing as "two cups flour, sifted." The first instruction means to sift the flour, then measure; whereas the second means measure first, then sift what was measured. In either scenario, do not scoop the measuring cup into the flour bin directly. This causes the flour to be tightly packed into the cup and will result in a cake that has the texture of a brick. Instead, use a spoon to lightly scoop flour from the bin into the measuring cup, leveling off the top with a butter knife. This method is messier, but will yield better results. Fourth, take the time to cream the butter and sugar well. The result should be smooth and lump free. This is the most important step to making an appealing cake, and again can't be expedited by using melted butter! Fifth, if your recipe calls for both wet ingredients (buttermilk, juice etc) and dry (flour mixture), alternate between the two in small increments rather than dumping them in sequentially. This small step will protect the texture of your cake. Sixth, once the cake batter has been poured into the pan, lift the pan and drop it onto the counter from a height of two to three inches. This will remove any air pockets that may have developed in the batter. Be careful not to bang the pan too hard, or you'll spill the batter and/or scare your pets out of the kitchen. And lastly, don't bake the cake for as long as the recipe suggests. Set the timer a few minutes early so that you don't over-bake due to any idiosyncrasy associated with your oven (referenced in step one). Please note this does not mean you should be opening and closing the oven door multiple times during the baking process. Good bakers know "if you're looking, it's not cooking," so try not to open the oven until your timer goes off. The only exception to this rule is if you smell something burning. Odds are this means the batter has spilled out over the pan and onto the bottom of the oven. if this happens, and the oven is now smoking, you have to open the door and try to remove the spill. If nothing is smoking, leave the mess until the cake is out and the oven has cooled. Back to the timer - When it goes off, quickly but carefully test the cake with several toothpicks in different areas while the cake remains in the oven. (Taking the cake in and out of the oven to test will change the temperature of both the oven and the cake). If the toothpicks are wet and sticky, the cake needs more time. If the toothpicks are clean (or a tad moist), the cake is ready to come out of the oven. Allow cake to cool on a rack, and then enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Instruction: Tell me an uplifting story about a recently departed dear friend and how she continues to inspire and guide me. Use references from Star Wars to drive the point home. Response: One year ago, Kate departed for the Next Place. It struck me this morning that--while I miss her like gangbusters--she is actually still “with” me, and now, more than ever. She's sitting right there on a sunny day; She's giggling at me when I'm ridiculous (and I know if the same thing happened to her, she’d be self-deprecating about it and just keep going, so I keep going too!); Her advice lulls me to sleep when I’m contemplating difficult child-rearing problems; And there she is, whispering in my ear during work meetings, when I need to make tough decisions. She reminds me every day that I can do this. ALL of this. Kate has become a Jedi/Force Ghost...and she is more powerful now than ever.

Both IOS and Android each have their specific merits that caters to different user communities among which they are wildly popular.
Instruction: Give me a one line summary of the story below: A long long time ago the Queen of Odisha heard that there was a master stone sculptor who made such stunning statues of the gods that people would weep from happiness at the beauty of the statues if they saw them. One summer day, while resting indolently with the King in the main hall of the royal palace, the Queen suddenly had a thought. "How nice it would be, King, if we could build some beautiful statutes of Lord Jagannath so that the people can come worship Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subadhra. What do you think?" The King thought for a few minutes, and then nodded in agreement. "What do you have in mind, my Queen?" And so, soon the stone sculptor was summoned to appear before the Court for an appointment to build in his way the statutes of the gods. Soon the monsoon season started and the sculptor appeared in front of the court, awaiting his appointment. He was a humble man from the mountainous regions of Odisha. Even at his best-dressed, one couldn't help but notice his rough hands, and the small sprinkling of dust that seemed ever present in his hair. The King and Queen graciously waited as the sculptor bowed and then asked "Your majesties, what can I do for you?" The Queen leaned forward in her throne and her voice rang out in the court "We have heard, o Master Sculptor, of your skills from people far and wide across the Kingdom. We dream of having you put your skills to use to build beautiful statues that will represent Lord Jagannath, Subhadra, and Balabhadra for our people to worship." The sculptor was silent. As his silence extended, ministers of the court began to feel restless. "Speak up! How can you be silent when the Queen graces you so!" But still, the sculptor was silent. The King and Queen sat patiently in their thrones as they waited for the sculptor to respond. Perhaps the enormity of the task was too much. Perhaps, the sculptor was thinking of what he should ask for in return. Or even more, perhaps, the sculptor was awed and honored by the request. At last, as the shadows from the late afternoon sun began to stretch across the floors of the hall, the sculptor shifted his weight, and opened his mouth to speak. "Your majesties, you grace me with such a request, I cannot help but oblige. It is an honor." At this, the Queen sat as straight as a rod, listening for the words that would come next. "But, I can do this on one condition only. I will work in a closed hall, where none may enter - regardless of whether they can hear me working or otherwise. None may enter until I open the doors from within and proclaim to all that the statues are completed." The ministers gasped - what a strange request from this man. Was he a fool? What if he just slept and ate and didn't do any work? How could the King and Queen trust that he would do the work he was promising to do? The Queen looked on thoughtfully. She glanced at the King, and it seemed to her that he agreed on this condition without reservation. She looked at the sculptor and then nodded her assent. "We decree that you shall build these statues in a hall set aside, into which no one shall enter until your work is complete and you proclaim that to us after opening the doors of the hall from within." Response: A master sculptor in Odisha is hired by the King & Queen to build statutes of Lord Jagannath, Subhadra, and Balabhadra, on the condition that no one will disturb the master sculptor from his work, until he himself announces that his work is complete.

Instruction: Write a short story about a person who gets fired from his job, but ends up having the best day of his life. Response: On March 3rd 1974, Jim was fired from his job as a janitor at Elmhurst Elementary School. While officially, Jim was let go due to "budgetary constraints", it was quite clear to him that it had more to do with his age than any financial strain on the school district. See, Jim was born in 1899, he had just turned 75 years old in January and was starting to "slow down" on the job. He could no longer do some of the highly intensive labor that his profession often entailed, and it became noticeable. After his last day of work, Jim walked to his home, which conveniently was only three blocks south of the school. On his walk, he couldn't help but feel sad and slightly embarrassed. He knew that his wife, Miriam, would understand, but he felt like he let her and himself down. For nearly 40 years, Jim worked at Elmhurst Elementary School and was beloved by the thousands of students that came through those doors. While he wasn't going to miss cleaning up student's throw-up or a cafeteria that resembled more of a war zone than a public eating space, he was going to miss the children. Watching them learn, play, and grow was always what made the job worth it to him. When Jim walked through the door of his one story home, Miriam was there to greet him. She could tell what had happened by the look on his face. Particularly, she could tell by his eyes. Jim's eyes were a portal into his soul and, as such, a window into his emotions. As Jim walked through the living room and into the kitchen, he saw two people, a man and a woman, sitting at the table, and in the woman's arms was a baby. This man was his son, Tommy, who he had not seen since he deployed for the Vietnam War three years prior. Up until this moment, Jim wasn't even sure if his son was alive. Jim's eyes opened wide with sheer elation at the sight, and a tear slowly formed in the corner of his left eye. Over the next few hours, Jim sat with his son and his family and discussed all that had happened since the last time they had seen each other. Tommy spoke about how he had been designated as MIA by the US government after a particularly brutal ambush during one of his morning patrols. After many months of hiding from the enemy and searching for his unit, Tommy eventually stumbled across one of the final remaining US camps stationed in South Vietnam. It was at this camp that Tommy met his now wife, Sara. She was the nurse who oversaw his recovery. They fell in love immediately, got married, and Sara became pregnant, all before even leaving Vietnam for the United States. Tommy and Sara had returned to the US only a month ago, and their baby was born two weeks later. While Jim laid in bed that night, he couldn't believe all the change that one day could bring. He woke up a janitor, and went to bed a grandfather. He knew his new job, and he looked forward to it. This was the best day of his life.

Instruction: Please write a story that puts a modern twist on a fairy tale Response: “Young lady! I demand you to come down this instant!” my stepmother demanded. “I’m busy!” I scream back from my room. I’m not actually busy, I’m just on my phone texting about the big party tonight. My friends and I are planning it out step by step, and hopefully at the end of the night, one of us will score a hot boy. “ You haven’t done any chores all month! I wish you were more like your step-sisters,” my stepmother continues angrily. The last part about my step-sisters really infuriated me. I storm downstairs ready to make a point that I’m not going to do chores for someone who isn’t my real mom. “Well maybe you're just jealous you didn’t peak in high school. I bet no one wanted to be your friend in school,” I argue. I put a smug look on my face, thinking that I totally just won this argument. “If you want to act like that I’ll give you the same treatment,” she warns me. She crosses her arms and taps her foot impatiently waiting for my response. “Whatever, if your're so fond of my step-sisters they can just do my chores,” I sigh as I roll my eyes. “You need to learn how to take care of yourself. Soon enough, your only achievement would be peaking in high school. You’re going to end up as a fast-food worker if you keep acting like this,” She reasons whilst she stares at me with daggers in her eyes. “Fine, I’ll do the laundry. After I have to go to the mall, my friends and I are going dress shopping for the party,” I groan. I have to text my friends that I will be five minutes late. I grab my phone to message them. “Just the laundry isn’t enough for all of the chores you have ignored. You turn eighteen in two years, and you need to prepare for the real world. You will not go to the party; what you will do is stay here until you cleaned and organized the entire house to make up for the several years of not doing any chores at all,” She states. I can’t believe my ears. My life is literally ruined. She is seriously out to get me I swear. I flip my hair and start to walk over to my room. “I’m going to run some errands. When I’m back, I expect all the clothes to be folded, the kitchen wiped down, etcetera. Perhaps if you finish fast enough, you can still make it to the party. Maybe.” She orders and walks out of the house. This is child abuse. I stomp my foot in frustration and call all my friends. I complain about all of the evil things my stepmother just did to me. “You should just sneak out, you do it all the time for parties,” One of my friend suggests. “I would, but if my stepmother noticed I didn’t clean everything she’s probably going to take away my allowance and phone. You guys now I can’t live without those!” I point out. I pace back and forth around my room trying to think. I see an empty closet and get the perfect idea. “What if I just throw in all the dirty things into the closet! That will give me enough time. She probably won’t notice for a couple of days. It’s flawless!” I proposed. Everyone agrees so I went straight to work. It only took me five minutes and I was out of the house and on my way to the mall. —------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “Dress shopping was so fun! I’m glad I could make it.” I remarked. Everyone nods in agreement. I check the time on my phone. “Guys! I didn’t realize it would take us that long to find out dresses, the parties in ten minutes!” I gasp, we all run into one of our cars and arrive to the party. I look around the venue. This place looks so cool, there’s a dance floor in the middle where many people are at so I head there. I see a super handsome boy in the corner of my eye, I walk over to ask him to dance. He notices me too as I reach my hand out signaling we should dance. We dance until our feet are sore. It is such a nice moment, I can’t wait to brag to my friends later. I go to take a seat with him but I see my mom enter the party. I quickly run out the door and the boy I just danced with starts following. My shoe falls off but I don’t stop running until I’m back home. —------------------------------------------------------ I wake up the next morning exhausted from last night. I look at the clock and it turns out I slept until 10 am. I walk downstairs to see my mom talking to someone at the door. I look to see who it was and it was the boy I danced with last night. How did he find me? He sees me peeking and waves to me. He explains to me my friends also noticed my dramatic exit and told him where my house was. He then gets on his knees and takes out a ring. “Will you marry me?” He asks me. I immediately knew my answer. “No”
Instruction: what are creative ways of gifting? Response: Gift non material presents! For example, for your loved ones' birthday, offer them a caring and tender massage rather than an expensive electronic entertainment device that will be dated in 2 years. For your kids, make a donation to a trusted charity with a good cause for Christmas that shows them empathy and love rather than a toy that will be ignored after a few plays. For parents' gold anniversary, take them to where they met and recreate the scene to bring back their love memories.
