Ashkenazi Jews
According to 16th-century mystic Rabbi Elijah of Chelm, Ashkenazi Jews lived in Jerusalem during the 11th century. The story is told that a German-speaking Palestinian Jew saved the life of a young German man surnamed Dolberger. So when the knights of the First Crusade came to siege Jerusalem, one of Dolberger's family members who was among them rescued Jews in Palestine and carried them back to Worms to repay the favor. Further evidence of German communities in the holy city comes in the form of halakhic questions sent from Germany to Jerusalem during the second half of the 11th century.
Q: Another piece of evidence of German communities in the holy city in the second half of the 11th century is due to what items being sent from Germany to Jerusalem?
|
A: Halakhic questions were sent from Germany to Jerusalem during the second half of the 11th century, which is another piece of evidence of German communities in the holy city during that time. Halakhic questions are inquiries about Jewish law and customs, which suggests that there was a Jewish community in Germany that was seeking guidance from the scholars and rabbis in Jerusalem. This exchange of information and communication between the two communities indicates a level of connection and interaction between Ashkenazi Jews in Germany and those living in Jerusalem during the 11th century.

The citys most populous ethnic group, non-Hispanic Whites, have proportionally declined from 72.1% of the population in 1990 to 47.9% in 2010, even as total numbers of all ethnicities have increased with the population. Hispanics or Latinos of any race make up 31.5% of the population.

Answer the following question: I am verifying the answers generated by an automatic system to the following question: what is genetic differences Suggested answer: A graphical representation of the ideal human karyotype Should I validate this answer?
Answer:
|
No, the suggested answer "A graphical representation of the ideal human karyotype" is not a correct answer to the question "what is genetic differences". Genetic differences refer to variations in the DNA sequence between individuals or populations. A karyotype is a visual representation of an individual's chromosomes, but it does not necessarily show genetic differences. Therefore, you should not validate this answer and instead suggest a more appropriate answer that accurately defines genetic differences.

Please answer the following question: Suggest a movie title for the following movie plot: In 1202, an army led by the three vampire elders (Markus, Viktor, and Amelia) arrives at a Lycan-ravaged village. Viktor and Amelia capture their target, Markus' twin brother, William Corvinus, the first and most powerful werewolf. Despite Markus' defiance, Viktor orders that William be imprisoned in a secret location forever. In the present day, vampire Selene takes Michael to a safe house so that she can confront the vampire regent Kraven; she knows that Kraven intends to kill Markus and plans to stop him. However, Markus has awakened before Kraven arrives. Markus kills Kraven and his men. Lorenz Macaro, an elderly man, sends in a team of "cleaners" to investigate the aftermath from the battle in the Lycans' lair. When Macaro examines Viktor's corpse he finds a metal disc inside which is the match to a pendant originally worn by Sonja. The other half of the pendant is now possessed by Michael after the death of Lucian. Markus tracks Selene and Michael down and attacks them, but they evade him and hide in a warehouse. There, Selene and Michael share their feelings and have passionate sex. Now knowing that the pendant is important to Markus, Michael and Selene set out to discover why Markus wants it. Selene recalls that she saw it as a child, but does not know its significance. They travel to the hideout of the exiled vampire historian Andreas Tanis who reveals that Markus was the first vampire; one of the three sons of Alexander Corvinus, the first immortal. Markus was bitten by a bat and became a vampire, while William was bitten by a wolf and became a werewolf. The third son remained human and gave rise to a line of mortal descendants including Michael, who became the first LycanâVampire hybrid. The first werewolves created by William were entirely animal and unable to return to human form. Due to William's destructiveness, Markus approached Viktor, who was a dying mortal warlord at the time, and offered to turn him and his army into immortal vampires in exchange for tracking down and stopping William,...

Microbes use chemicals to make food. This process is known as chemosynthesis. Unlike photosynthesis, which uses sunlight as an energy source, chemosynthesis uses energy from chemical reactions to produce organic compounds. These chemicals can come from a variety of sources, such as minerals in rocks or gases in the atmosphere. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is "chemicals".

Background: The Colbert Report () is an American late-night talk and news satire television program hosted by Stephen Colbert that aired four days a week on Comedy Central from October 17, 2005 to December 18, 2014 for 1,447 episodes. The show focused on a fictional anchorman character named Stephen Colbert, played by his real-life namesake. The character, described by Colbert as a "well-intentioned, poorly informed, high-status idiot", is a caricature of televised political pundits. Furthermore, the show satirized conservative personality-driven political talk programs, particularly Fox News's The O'Reilly Factor.
Context: The New Yorker wrote that "Colbert has made vital observations about the American political system, particularly about the sordid role that money plays within it. The Colbert Report and the Daily Show [...] have changed the way that young liberals of a certain class think and talk about civic culture." The show also coined another word, wikiality, that means "reality as decided on majority rule." Viewers of the show also coined a word, freem, based on its inclusion in the show's opening sequence; the word refers to "'freedom' without having to 'do' anything -- without any responsibility or action." In response to the "Better Know a District" segment, Rahm Emanuel, then the Democratic Caucus chair, instructed incoming freshmen not to do appearances on the show in 2007. In 2008, East Carolina University associate professor Jason Bond named a species of trapdoor spider Aptostichus stephencolberti in honor of Stephen Colbert. The "Colbert Bump" is defined, connotatively by the Report, as an increase in popularity of a person (author, musician, politician, etc.) or thing (website, etc.) as a result of appearing as a guest on or (in the case of a thing) being mentioned on the show. For example, if a politician appears on The Colbert Report, they may become more popular with certain voters and thus are more likely to be elected. According to the American Political Science Association, contributions to Democratic politicians rose 40% for 30 days after an appearance on the show. Magazines such as GQ, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated have all had sales spikes when Colbert appeared on their covers. Viewers of The Colbert Report were on numerous occasions cited as being more knowledgeable about current events than traditional news viewers. In April 2007, a Pew Research Center report cited both Colbert and The Daily Show viewers as more well-informed than those who gathered their information via newspapers, television news and radio. Colbert's Super PAC coverage was widely lauded, and studies later found that this coverage was more effective than traditional news programs at educating the audience on campaign finance. He was awarded a Peabody Award for the parody, which was described as an "innovative means of teaching American viewers about the landmark court decision". The Annenberg Public Policy Center reported in 2014 that the Colbert Super PAC segments increased viewers' knowledge of PAC and 501(c)(4) campaign finance regulation more successfully than other types of news media.
Question: Are there any other interesting aspects about this article?. Whats the answer?
|
Yes, there are several other interesting aspects about this article.
1. The Colbert Report was not only a popular show but also had a significant impact on American politics and culture. The show's satirical take on political news and commentary helped to shape the way young liberals thought and talked about civic culture.
2. The show also coined several new words, including "wikiality" and "freem," which have since entered the popular lexicon.
3. The show's "Better Know a District" segment caused controversy when Democratic Caucus chair Rahm Emanuel instructed incoming freshmen not to appear on the show in 2007.
4. The show's influence extended beyond its viewership, with the "Colbert Bump" leading to increased popularity for guests and even causing sales spikes for magazines.
5. Viewers of The Colbert Report were found to be more knowledgeable about current events than traditional news viewers, and the show's coverage of campaign finance was particularly effective at educating the audience.
Overall, the article highlights the significant impact that The Colbert Report had on American politics and culture during its run.

Question: What did movie theaters do for sound before synchronized sound was introduced into film? Would "The first known public exhibition of projected sound films took place in Paris in 1900, but decades would pass before sound motion pictures were made commercially practical." be a reasonable answer?
Answer:
|
No, "The first known public exhibition of projected sound films took place in Paris in 1900, but decades would pass before sound motion pictures were made commercially practical" would not be a reasonable answer to the question.
Before synchronized sound was introduced into film, movie theaters used various methods to provide sound accompaniment to silent films. Here are the steps to answer the question more accurately:
1. Before synchronized sound, movie theaters relied on live musical accompaniment to enhance the viewing experience. This typically involved a pianist or an orchestra playing music that matched the mood and action on the screen.
2. In larger theaters, a theater organ was often used instead of a piano. These organs were capable of producing a wider range of sounds and could mimic the sound effects that synchronized sound would later provide.
3. Some theaters also employed sound effects artists who would create live sound effects using various props and instruments. For example, they might use a coconut shell to mimic the sound of a horse galloping or a thunder sheet to create the sound of thunder.
4. In addition to live music and sound effects, theaters sometimes used phonographs or gramophones to play pre-recorded music or sound effects. These devices were manually operated and required synchronization with the film by the projectionist.
5. It's worth noting that not all theaters had the resources or capabilities to provide live music or sound effects. In such cases, the film would be shown in silence, and patrons would rely solely on the visual storytelling.
Therefore, a more accurate answer to the question would be that movie theaters used live musical accompaniment, sound effects artists, and sometimes phonographs or gramophones to provide sound before synchronized sound was introduced into film.

MD Anderson has approximately 500 job openings, some of which may be suitable for former Enron employees. The jobs vary but include a number of IT and administrative positions. MD Anderson's potential interest in employing laid off Enron employees came to our attention via Anne Marie Giltrop of MD Anderson who spoke with Angela Davis. This morning, I spoke with Ms. Giltrop. In light of our policy of only providing neutral references and other liability considerations, I stated that I did not believe we would provide MD Anderson a list of employees who were laid off, but that I would try to find an approved vehicle for getting information regarding job openings at MD Anderson to our former employees. The MD Anderson web site does not reflect all current open positions, so I suggested that, if approved on both ends, MD Anderson could provide a list of openings with job descriptions that could be made available to former Enron employees. Ms. Giltrop is attempting to obtain appropriate approval from MD Anderson. She later phoned to inform me that I should expect to hear more from Deborah Manning, Jim Dorn, or Martha Jones. On our end, I have contacted David Oxley who put me in touch with Cindy Olson. Sarah Davis will now handle coordinating relations with MD Anderson. This is an important opportunity for former employees, and for Enron and MD Anderson as good Houston citizens. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: No one wants to be tested. We would all like to get a driver's license without answering questionsabout rights of way or showing that we can parallel park a car. Many future lawyers and doctors probablywish they could join their profession without taking an exam. But tests and standards are a necessary fact of life. They protect us from unskilled drivers, harmful products and dishonest professionals. In schools too exams play a. constructive role. They tell public officials whether new school programs are making a difference and where new investments are likely to pay off. They tell teachers what their students have learned--and have not. They tell parents how their children are doing compared with others their age. They encourage students to make more effort. It is important to recall that for most of century, educators used intelligence tests to decide whichchildren should get a high-quality education. The point of IQ testing was to find out how much children were capable of learning rather than to test what they had actually learned. Based on IQ scores, millions of children were assigned to _ instead of solid courses in science, math, history, literature andforeign language. This history reminds us that tests should be used to improve education. Every child should have access to a high-quality education. Students should have full opportunity to learn what will be tested; otherwise theirscores will merely reflect whether they come from an educated family. In the past few years, we have seen the enormous benefits that flow to disadvantaged students because of the information provided by state tests. Those who fall behind are now getting extra instruction inafter-school classes and summer programs. In their efforts to improve student performance, states are increasing teachers salaries, testing new teachers and insisting on better teacher education. Performance in education means the mastery of both knowledge and skills. This is why it is reasonable totest teachers to make sure they know their subject matter,... Question: Which of the following does the author probably agree with? Options: A: Disadvantaged students can benefit from state tests. B: Tests should focus on what students have actually learned. C: Intelligent tests decide if children should get a high - quality education. D: Intelligent tests are helpful in separating excellent students from poor ones.
A:
|
The author probably agrees with option A: Disadvantaged students can benefit from state tests. The article mentions that in the past few years, disadvantaged students have been getting extra instruction in after-school classes and summer programs because of the information provided by state tests. This suggests that the author sees state tests as a way to improve education for disadvantaged students. The article also mentions that tests should be used to improve education and that every child should have access to a high-quality education, which supports the idea that state tests can benefit disadvantaged students. Option B is also mentioned in the article as a positive aspect of tests, but it is not the main point of the article. Option C is mentioned as a negative example of how tests were used in the past, and option D is not mentioned in the article at all.

Math problem: Solve 159*h - 425 = 74*h for h.
What is the solution?
|
The given equation is 159*h - 425 = 74*h.
To solve for h, we need to isolate h on one side of the equation.
First, we can simplify the equation by subtracting 74*h from both sides:
159*h - 425 - 74*h = 0
85*h - 425 = 0
Next, we can add 425 to both sides:
85*h = 425
Finally, we can solve for h by dividing both sides by 85:
h = 5
Therefore, the solution to the equation 159*h - 425 = 74*h is h = 5.

Given the fact that: Faster-moving water has more energy. Answer the question: When a car is going fast it has low energy or high energy?
|
When a car is going fast, it has high energy. This is because the car's speed is directly proportional to its kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. The faster the car is moving, the more kinetic energy it has. This is similar to the concept of faster-moving water having more energy. Therefore, we can conclude that when a car is going fast, it has high energy.

Is the premise "A boy prepares to play some basketball while listening to his favorite music." true if "A boy listening to his favorite music by Snoop Dogg."?
|
No, the premise "A boy prepares to play some basketball while listening to his favorite music" is not necessarily true if the statement is "A boy listening to his favorite music by Snoop Dogg." The second statement only mentions that the boy is listening to his favorite music by Snoop Dogg, but it does not provide any information about whether he is preparing to play basketball or not. Therefore, we cannot assume that the boy is preparing to play basketball just because he is listening to his favorite music by Snoop Dogg.

Options are:
(i). yes.
(ii). it is not possible to tell.
(iii). no.
|
The correct answer is (ii) it is not possible to tell.
The original sentence "A guy eating in a eating contest" does not provide enough information to determine whether the sentence "a man eating a food" is true or false. The original sentence only tells us that a guy is eating in an eating contest, but it does not specify whether the guy is eating a specific food or not. Therefore, we cannot determine the truth value of the sentence "a man eating a food" based on the given information.

How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
When did this place turn into a kids karaoke bar ? We used to come here all the time on Saturday nights and have a great time. Now groups of kids sit at tables waiting for their next turn to sing high in their high pitched voices, it's so annoying. Also, the waiters and waitresses are just hanging out in booths socializing and ignoring their customers. My husband went to the bathroom and came back saying there was a drug deal being done in the bathroom and lines being snorted in the stall. Not going back, it's a shame....Possible answers: (I) negative. (II) positive. I think the answer is
|
(I) negative.
To determine the sentiment of this review, I analyzed the language used by the reviewer. The reviewer expresses disappointment and frustration with the changes that have taken place at the location. They mention that the atmosphere has changed from what it used to be, and that groups of kids singing karaoke are annoying. The reviewer also mentions that the waitstaff is not attentive to customers, and that there is drug use happening in the bathroom. These negative observations suggest that the overall sentiment of the review is negative.

Please answer the following question: Extract the answer to the following question from the movie plot. If the question isn't answerable, please output "Can't answer". Question: Who gets married? Title: Black Snake Moan Movie plot: The film centers on two main characters: Lazarus Redd (Samuel L. Jackson), a deeply religious farmer and former blues guitarist, and Rae Doole (Christina Ricci), a young sex addict. Lazarus' wife and his brother were having an affair, which has left him bitter and angry. Rae's boyfriend Ronnie Morgan (Justin Timberlake) leaves for deployment with the 196th Field Artillery Brigade, Tennessee National Guard, and in his absence, she indulges in bouts of promiscuity and drug use. During one of Rae's binges, Ronnie's friend Gill Morton (Michael Raymond-James) tries to take advantage of her. She laughs at his advances, comparing him unfavorably with another man, and he severely beats her. Believing she's dead, Gill dumps Rae and leaves her for dead in only a shirt and panties by the side of the road and drives away. Lazarus discovers Rae unconscious in the road the next morning and brings her home to nurse her back to health. Lazarus goes to see Tehronne (David Banner) - the man who Lazarus thought had beaten her - and learns of her promiscuity. Over the course of several days, Rae, delirious with fever, occasionally wakes up and tries to flee from Lazarus. He chains her to the radiator to keep her from running away. After Rae regains her wits, Lazarus announces that it is his spiritual duty to heal her of her sinful ways and refuses to release her until he does so. Rae makes several attempts to escape, and even briefly has sex with a teenage boy who helps out on Lazarus' farm. She eventually comes to tolerate her position. Lazarus buys her a conservative dress to wear, plays the guitar for her, and feeds her home-cooked meals. Lazarus' pastor and close friend, R.L.

Answer by taking a quote from the following article:
The Simpsons Movie is a 2007 American animated comedy film based on the Fox television series The Simpsons. The film was directed by David Silverman, and stars the regular television cast of Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Hank Azaria, Harry Shearer, Tress MacNeille, Pamela Hayden, Maggie Roswell and Russi Taylor, with Tom Hanks, Green Day and Albert Brooks in guest roles. The film follows Homer Simpson, whose irresponsibility gets the best of him when he pollutes the lake in Springfield after the town has cleaned it up following receipt of a warning from the Environmental Protection Agency. As the townspeople exile him and eventually his family abandons him, Homer works to redeem his folly by stopping Russ Cargill, the head of the EPA, when he intends to destroy Springfield.
For inspiration for the crowd scenes in the film, the production staff referenced a poster featuring more than 320 Simpsons characters. Groening said they tried to include every single character in the film, with 98 having speaking parts, and most members of the crowds being previously established characters instead of generic people. The series' regular voice actors: Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Hank Azaria, and Harry Shearer, as well as semi-regular performers Tress MacNeille, Pamela Hayden, Marcia Wallace, Maggie Roswell, Russi Taylor, and Karl Wiedergott, reprised their roles. Joe Mantegna returned as Fat Tony, while Albert Brooks, who supplied many guest voices in episodes, was hired as Russ Cargill, after he told the staff that he wanted to be part of the film. For "about a week", he was to reprise the role of Hank Scorpio, but when the character was omitted from the film, he ended up voicing Cargill. The cast did the first of three table readings in May 2005, and began recording every week from June 2006 until the end of production. James L. Brooks directed them for the first time since the television show's early seasons. Castellaneta found the recording sessions "more intense" than recording the television series, and "more emotionally dramatic". Some scenes, such as Marge's video message to Homer, were recorded over one hundred times, leaving the voice cast exhausted. The writers had written the opening concert scene without a specific band in mind. Green Day were cast in that role having requested to guest star in the show. Tom Hanks also appears as himself in the film and accepted the offer after just one phone call. Everybody Loves Raymond creator Philip Rosenthal provides the voice of the father in the "new Grand Canyon" commercial with Hanks. Due to time restraints, several guests who had recorded parts were cut from the film. Minnie Driver recorded the part of a patronizing grievance counselor in a scene that ended up being cut. Edward Norton recorded the part of the man who gets crushed as the dome is implemented, performing a Woody Allen impression. The staff felt the voice was too distracting, so Castellaneta re-recorded Norton's dialogue with a different voice. Isla Fisher and Erin Brockovich also recorded cameos, but their scenes were cut. Kelsey Grammer recorded lines for Sideshow Bob, who was to appear at several different points, but these scenes were also cut. Johnny Knoxville was also touted as a possible guest star. Although he does not provide the voice, Arnold Schwarzenegger is President of the United States rather than then-President George W. Bush because, according to Groening, "in two years ... the film [would be] out of date". Brooks was nervous about the idea, noting that "[Schwarzenegger's] opinion polls were way down", and has said that they "were [hoping] he'd make a political comeback". The animators began by drawing an accurate caricature of Schwarzenegger, but one of the staff instead suggested an altered version of recurring character Rainer Wolfcastle as President. This idea was developed, with the design of Wolfcastle, himself also a caricature of Schwarzenegger, being given more wrinkles under his eyes and a different hairstyle.
were there other famous voices that are not on the regular show?
|
Yes, there were several famous voices that were not on the regular show. Green Day, Tom Hanks, and Albert Brooks were among the guest stars in the film. Minnie Driver, Edward Norton, Isla Fisher, Erin Brockovich, and Kelsey Grammer also recorded cameos, but their scenes were cut due to time restraints. Johnny Knoxville was also considered as a possible guest star.

Alex packed Aubrey's car so that he could drive it to his moms house. Given that the answer to a question is "return the car", what is the question?
The answer to this question is:
|
"What should Aubrey do after arriving at his mom's house?"
This is because the context of the statement is that Alex packed Aubrey's car so that he could drive it to his mom's house. Therefore, the assumption is that Aubrey has already driven the car to his mom's house. If the answer is "return the car", it implies that Aubrey needs to bring the car back to its original location, which is likely where Alex packed it.

Options are:

[B]. tablet had more memory and processing power..
|
Based on the given information, the correct option is [A]. The new computer ran faster than the old tablet because the computer had more memory and processing power.
To justify this answer, we need to understand the basic difference between a computer and a tablet. A computer is a general-purpose device that can perform a wide range of tasks, while a tablet is a mobile device that is primarily designed for browsing the internet, watching videos, and playing games.
In terms of hardware, a computer typically has more memory and processing power than a tablet. This means that it can handle more complex tasks and run multiple applications simultaneously without slowing down. On the other hand, a tablet may have less memory and processing power, which can limit its performance when running demanding applications.
Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the new computer ran faster than the old tablet because it had more memory and processing power. This allowed it to perform tasks more quickly and efficiently, making it a better choice for users who need to run complex applications or multitask.

Please answer the following question: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Rowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students. They study hard and do extremely well on achievement tests. And next year,Rowena will be attending Harvard University.Billy,her younger brother,hopes to go to Cornell.What makes Rowena and Billy different from most students is that they don't go to school.In fact,they've never been to school.Since kindergarten,they've studied at home.Like many of more than one million people who receive home schooling in the United States, they feel as if they've gotten a good education. The home-schooling trend began in the U.S.in the 1980s with parents keeping their children out of public schools so they could provide religious education at home. Today,as the home-schooling trend continues to grow,parents are more likely to consider home schooling as an option because they believe schools don't do a very good job of teaching and are occasionally dangerous places.But can parents really do a better job? The answer in many cases is yes.In many studies,students taught at home ranked average or above average when compared to students who went to public schools.More importantly,these students were often more self-directed and have a greater depth of knowledge.They were well prepared for academic challenges. One such student,Robert Conrad, now a sophomore at university, claims he really learned how to study and schedule his time during his eight years of home schooling.Still, not every student is as successful as Robert. "For every home-schooling success story,there are an equal number of failures."states Henry Lipscomb,an educational researcher."There are just so many disadvantages that students taught at home have to overcome." For example,they have fewer chances to get in touch with others of their own age.Consequently,they sometimes lack the usual social skills."No matter what,though,"states Lipscomb,"home-schooling is a growing trend.I think we'll be seeing more and more of this." Question: The writer thinks _ . - parents can do a better job than schools - home-schooling will be more and more useful - home-schooling is good in some aspects - students taught at home make greater achievements

Given the below context: The Tower of London has become established as one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country. It has been a tourist attraction since at least the Elizabethan period, when it was one of the sights of London that foreign visitors wrote about. Its most popular attractions were the Royal Menagerie and displays of armour. The Crown Jewels also garner much interest, and have been on public display since 1669. The Tower steadily gained popularity with tourists through the 19th century, despite the opposition of the Duke of Wellington to visitors. Numbers became so high that by 1851 a purpose-built ticket office was erected. By the end of the century, over 500,000 were visiting the castle every year.Over the 18th and 19th centuries, the palatial buildings were slowly adapted for other uses and demolished. Only the Wakefield and St Thomas's Towers survived. The 18th century marked an increasing interest in England's medieval past. One of the effects was the emergence of Gothic Revival architecture. In the Tower's architecture, this was manifest when the New Horse Armoury was built in 1825 against the south face of the White Tower. It featured elements of Gothic Revival architecture such as battlements. Other buildings were remodelled to match the style and the Waterloo Barracks were described as "castellated Gothic of the 15th century". Between 1845 and 1885 institutions such as the Mint which had inhabited the castle for centuries moved to other sites; many of the post-medieval structures left vacant were demolished. In 1855, the War Office took over responsibility for manufacture and storage of weapons from the Ordnance Office, which was gradually phased out of the castle. At the same time, there was greater interest in the history of the Tower of London.Public interest was partly fuelled by contemporary writers, of whom the work of William Harrison Ainsworth was particularly influential. In The Tower of London: A Historical Romance he created a vivid image of underground torture chambers and devices for... Guess a valid title for it!

The chairs in the waiting room are leather and the copy machine has a million attachments and there's pictures on the wall that I don't know what they're supposed to be. Made me ashamed of the shirt I was wearing, the cuffs all frayed and some of the buttons don't match. The secretary is a knockout and I figure Dennis has got to be getting in her pants. Red hair and freckles and shiny skin that looks like she just got out of a hot shower. A smile like she really means it. My name was in the book and she showed me right on in. Dennis shook my hand and put me in a chair that was slings and tube steel. The calendar next to his desk had a ski scene on it. Behind him was solid books, law books all in the same binding, also some biographies and political stuff. "Too bad you couldn't make the reunion," Dennis said. "It was a hoot." "I just felt weird about it," I said. I still did. It looked like he wanted me to go on, so I said, "I knew there'd be a bunch of y'all there that had really made good, and I guess I...I don't know. Didn't want to have to make excuses." "Hard to believe it's been twenty years. You look good. I still wouldn't want to run into you in a dark alley, but you look fit. In shape." "I got weights in the garage, I try to work out. When you're my size you can go to hell pretty quick. You look like you're doing pretty good yourself." Charlene is always pointing to people on TV and talking about the way they dress. With Dennis I could see for the first time what she's talking about. The gray suit he had on looked like part of him, like it was alive. When I think about him in grungy sweats back at Thomas Jefferson High School, bent double from trying to run laps, it doesn't seem like the same guy.

Sentence 1: The most important Buddhist excavation (1 12) is the only chaitya sanctuary here, the eighth-century Cave 10 with its fine rib-vaulted ceiling reminiscent of a western Romanesque cathedral.
Sentence 2: Cave 10 looks nothing like a cathedral, with its plain walls and undecorated ceiling.
If the first sentence is true, then is the second sentence true?
|
Based on the information provided in the first sentence, it is not possible to determine the truthfulness of the second sentence. The first sentence states that the eighth-century Cave 10 has a fine rib-vaulted ceiling reminiscent of a western Romanesque cathedral, but it does not provide any information about the walls or the decoration of the ceiling. Therefore, the second sentence may or may not be true, as it is possible that the walls are plain and the ceiling is undecorated despite its rib-vaulted structure.

What would be the ★-rating of this review (★ being the lowest and ★★★★★ being the highest)? "Unread notification - still the same problem Unread notification at icon won't go away...!!! I dont have any unread messages left...!! I clear n delete all my message but still dont go away...fix these stupid error...!!!!!"
|
Based on the review provided, I would give it a ★★-rating. Here are the reasons for my rating:
- The review clearly states the problem the user is facing, which is an unread notification that won't go away even though there are no unread messages left.
- However, the tone of the review is quite aggressive and uses strong language such as "stupid error" and multiple exclamation marks. This can be off-putting and may not be helpful in getting the issue resolved.
- Additionally, the review does not provide any information about what steps the user has already taken to try and resolve the issue. This makes it difficult for anyone reading the review to provide specific advice or assistance.
Overall, while the review does highlight a problem, the tone and lack of detail make it less helpful and deserving of a lower rating.

Given the question: Please answer the following question about this movie plot. If it's un-answerable, please output "No answer". Question: Who kills Valance? Movie plot title: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Movie plot: The film begins in 1910 when a successful aging U.S. senator Ransom Stoddard (James Stewart) and his wife of twenty-five years Hallie (Vera Miles) return to the small western town Shinbone, where they met, to attend the funeral of Tom Doniphon (John Wayne) a man known in the town as a good man but undistinguished.When a young local reporter presses Stoddard for an interview about why he has come to the funeral of a nobody like Doniphon, Stoddard begins a story that relates the history of the film in flashback. Stoddard tells us how when he came to the town as young newly-graduated attorney at law he was bullied by a local tough outlaw named Liberty Valence (Lee Marvin), a gunman employed by the local cattle cartel directed to keep the town in line so that the barons could monopolize the local resources to insure their beef industry.He first meets Valance when the stagecoach he is travelling in is ambushed by the outlaw and his companions.Stoddard tries to stop him from robbing a woman but he is knocked out.When Valance discovers he is a law graduate,he whips him several times,before he and his friends wander off into the night.Early the next morning,Doniphon and his friend Pompey (Woody Strode) take the unconscious Stoddard into Shinbone to rest up at Hallie's place where she runs a steakhouse.Bumbling and cowardly marshal,Link Appleyard (Andy Devine) arrives and is horrified to find out that they want him to capture Valance.He tries his best to come up with excuses about how the jurisdiction prevents him from doing anything about it,which is what the residents have come to expect from him.On one boisterous night,newspaper publisher Dutton Peabody leaves his office and runs into Appleyard who is petrified because he knows Valance is in town.Peabody goes to the restaurant for dinner,where Stoddard is helping out in the kitchen as a way of earning his keep.While he's washing the dishes,he's reading up on a law book about the marshal's jurisdiction and how he can get Valance.He finds some useful information and...
The answer is:
|
Tom Doniphon kills Liberty Valance.

News article: Grim day for European stocks, as FTSE 100 tanks on 'Fat finger' error; DAX, CAC tank
Oil prices suffered on Friday following the Fed's warning on the health of the global economy. Brent crude and WTI crude oil were both down well over $1 around the close of European markets, hitting energy stocks.
Insurance stocks were among the worst performers on Friday after the Fed's decision. Insurance companies benefit from higher interest rates because it means they get higher yields on the government bonds they invest in.
Dutch life insurance company Aegon closed near the bottom of indices, down more than 6 percent. Britain's Aviva and Prudential both finished more than 2.5 percent lower.
Banking stocks - another sector that benefits from higher interest rates - also took a hit on Friday. Deutsche Bank and BNP Paribas were among the worst affected, both closing more than 4.5 percent lower. Italian and Swiss lenders, including Credit Suisse and Intesa Sanpaolo, also closed sharply in negative territory.
Auto stocks were also lower after the Fed's dovish tone. The worst hit included France's Renault, down 4.2 percent, and German carmaker Daimler, down 4.3 percent.
Gold rose to a near three-week high, gaining around 0.5 percent to trade at $1,137, boosting mining stocks.
Asian shares were mixed on Friday, but Japan's Nikkei 225 tumbled on the back of renewed strength in the yen.
The Nikkei index on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the broader Topix index were among the hardest-hit in Asia, down 2 percent ahead of an extended weekend. Markets in Japan will be shuttered until next Wednesday.

What is the sentiment of the following review?
Booked a King Suite online from Feb 8-10 @ $87.99/night (AAA Membership Rate) after being delayed at Charlotte (CLT) due to Winter Storm Nemo. The hotel is about 10-15 minutes from CLT. I arrived by shuttle and checked into Room 705. The room was very clean, with no issues throught my trip. This is a great place for catching up on sleep. Unfortunately there's nothing to do within the immediate, remote area, which will leave with few options beyond fast food delivery and the hotel's restaurant. A cab Uptown (Time Warner Arena, The Epicenter, Bobcats, Panthers, bars, restaurants, etc) will cost $25. The hotel concierge hooked me up with an 8pm shuttle ride to the Woodlawn LYNX (Light Rail) station (approx. 15-20 minutes away), which only costs $2.00 to head Uptown. The only drawbacks are the remote location, and the lack of free WiFi outside of the hotel lobby and lounge/restaurant ($9.99 per day). If you want to get a good night's sleep, then this is the place. If you want to enjoy Charlotte, I recommend choosing a hotel closer to Uptown and Center City.
Options:
- negative
- positive
|
The sentiment of the review is mixed, but leans towards positive.
Justification:
- Positive aspects:
- The room was very clean with no issues throughout the trip.
- The hotel is a great place for catching up on sleep.
- The hotel concierge helped the user with transportation options to Uptown.
- Negative aspects:
- The hotel is located in a remote area with nothing to do nearby.
- The lack of free WiFi outside of the hotel lobby and lounge/restaurant.
- The user recommends choosing a hotel closer to Uptown and Center City if you want to enjoy Charlotte.
Overall, the review mentions more positive aspects than negative ones, but the negative aspects are significant enough to affect the user's recommendation.

I am a movie director and I just received the following movie plot. Could you help me answer this question? If not, let me know by writing "Not answerable". Plot title: The Crime of Father Amaro Movie plot: Newly ordained Padre Amaro arrives in Los Reyes, a small town in the fictional state of Aldama, to start his life serving the church. He is a protégé of a ruthless political bishop, while the local priest, Father Benito, is having a long ongoing affair with a local restaurant owner. Benito is building a large hospital and recuperation center, which is partially funded by a cartel's drug lord. Meanwhile, another priest in the area, Father Natalio, is under investigation for supporting left-wing insurgents in his secluded rural church area. Amelia (Ana Claudia Talancón), a local 16-year-old girl, teaches catechism to the young children in the town, and is the daughter of Benito's mistress. At the start of the story, she is contemplating marriage to Rubén (Andrés Montiel), a young journalist beginning his career, but tension is depicted as Rubén is a non-believer and Amelia strongly Catholic. Rubén's father is an avowed anti-clerical atheist who is unpopular within the town for his strong opinions. Amaro soon becomes infatuated with Amelia, who is strongly attracted to him and asks awkward questions about love and sin in the confessional, admitting that she masturbates to Jesus. She later touches his hand while serving him at the restaurant. The newspaper is tipped off about Benito baptising the drug lord's newborn child, and Rubén is asked to write about the scandals in his hometown. With the aid of mountains of evidence compiled by his father, he publishes a story about Benito's hospital being a front for money laundering. The church has Amaro write a denial and Rubén is then sacked by the newspaper under pressure from the Catholic lobby. Amelia then phones Rubén and dumps him, berating him with a string of obscenities. Rubén's family home is vandalized by devout Catholics and when he returns home, he assaults Amaro when he sees him in the street. Amaro decides not to press charges, so Rubén avoids jail time. The film delves into the struggle priests have between desire and obedience. Amaro is... My question: What view of rural life does Carlos Carrera show the audience in this film?
|
Carlos Carrera portrays rural life in the fictional state of Aldama as a place where corruption, hypocrisy, and moral decay are rampant. The film depicts a society where the church and the political elite are intertwined, and where the local priests are involved in illicit affairs and shady business deals. The town is also shown as a place where people are deeply religious but also deeply flawed, struggling with their desires and their faith. The film highlights the tension between tradition and modernity, as well as the clash between different worldviews and ideologies. Overall, the view of rural life in this film is one of complexity, ambiguity, and moral ambiguity.

Please answer the following question: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: Botany , the study of plants, occupies a particular position in the history of human knowledge.For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest ) of insights.It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient.This is logical.Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things even for other plants.They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people not only for food but also for clothing, tools, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes.Tribes living today in the jungle of the Amazon recognize hundreds of plants and know many properties of each.To them, botany has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of "knowledge" at all. Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become, the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge grows.Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose or an apple.When nor Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer fields the next season--the first, great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken.Grains were discovered and from them flowed the wonder of agriculture: cultivated crops.From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild, and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.

Please answer the following question: Question: What is the third theory of language acquisition. I found the following answer on Google: It is broad-based and relatively new. Is that a correct answer? Yes or no.
Answer:
|
No, the answer provided is not correct. The question is asking about the third theory of language acquisition, not a description of it. The third theory of language acquisition is actually known as the sociocultural theory, which emphasizes the role of social interaction and cultural context in language development.

The X-Files Game is an interactive movie point-and-click adventure video game developed by HyperBole Studios and first published by Fox Interactive. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS and PlayStation in 1998, and is based on the television series "The X-Files". A second, but unrelated game, "", was released for PlayStation 2 in 2004.
Can we draw the following conclusion?
The second game was not a movie point-and-click adventure game.
|
Based on the information provided, we can draw the conclusion that the second game, released for PlayStation 2 in 2004, was not a movie point-and-click adventure game. This conclusion can be reached by noting that the first game, "The X-Files Game," is specifically described as an interactive movie point-and-click adventure game. Since the second game is mentioned separately and is described as unrelated, it can be inferred that it does not fall into the same genre as the first game.

Question: - Human industry produces chemical compounds - Chemical compounds rise into the air - Chemical compounds mix with elements in clouds - The affected rain falls to the earth What might be the last step of the process?
Answer:
|
The last step of the process would be the impact of the affected rain on the environment and living organisms. The chemical compounds that are released into the air by human industry can mix with elements in the clouds and form acid rain. When this acid rain falls to the earth, it can have harmful effects on the environment, including damaging crops, forests, and bodies of water. It can also harm animals and humans who come into contact with it. Therefore, the last step of the process would be the negative impact of the affected rain on the environment and living organisms.

Please answer the following question: Question: Who does Erik live with? If there is no answer, please output "Insufficient information to provide an answer.". Movie title: Evil Context: Erik Ponti is a sixteen-year-old boy who faces a lot of violence in his life. At school, he and his gang lend money to other students at high interest, resulting in a beating if they don't pay the money back in time; several teachers maltreat students that don't behave (in the book; in the movie it is not explained so widely). At home he lives with his sadistic stepfather and his mother.When Erik and his gang are caught stealing records from stores, Erik gets the entire blame because of the loose kind of loyalty in the gang, resulting in his expulsion from school (again, in the book; in the movie he's just shown fighting with other students). But circumstances allow him to matriculate into a private boarding school, Stjärnsberg, where he gets a new chance to continue his studies. Erik decides to try and break away from his earlier violent lifestyle.But Stjärnsberg isn't as nice and friendly as it seems initially. Erik has to face new kinds of violence in this school; from upperclassmen and members of the school council instead of teachers. At the school, a system called "kamratuppfostran" ("schoolmate upbringing") is in place; a codename for a violent kind of bullying directed especially at nonconforming students, ostensibly to keep discipline and order in school. Erik, being the kind of person who won't accept injustices, quickly becomes the main target.In the movie, ondskan ("the evil") may be perceived as Erik himself (as bullying other students prior to his departure to Stjärnsberg), as his stepfather (who beats Erik on every occasion), as the indifference of the teachers at Stjärnsberg or as "kamratuppfostran", which are represented by Otto Silverhielm and Gustaf Dahlén.
Answer:
|
Erik lives with his sadistic stepfather and his mother.

The original Broadway production of Guys and Dolls opened to unanimously positive reviews. Critics praised the musical's faithfulness to Damon Runyon's style and characterizations. Richard Watts of the New York Post said "Guys and Dolls is just what it should be to celebrate the Runyon spirit...[it is] filled with the salty characters and richly original language sacred to the memory of the late Master". William Hawkins of the New York World-Telegram & Sun stated, "It recaptures what [Runyon] knew about Broadway, that its wickedness is tinhorn, but its gallantry is as pure and young as Little Eva". Robert Coleman of the New York Daily Mirror declared, "We think Damon would have relished it as much as we did". The book and score were greatly praised as well; John Chapman of the New York Daily News declared, "The book is a work of easy and delightful humor. Its music and lyrics, by Frank Loesser, are so right for the show and so completely lacking in banality, that they amount to an artistic triumph". Coleman stated, "Frank Loesser has written a score that will get a big play on the juke boxes, over the radio, and in bistros throughout the land. His lyrics are especially notable in that they help Burrows's topical gags to further the plot". In The New York Times, Brooks Atkinson wrote, "Mr. Loesser's lyrics and songs have the same affectionate appreciation of the material as the book, which is funny without being self-conscious or mechanical". Multiple critics asserted that the work was of great significance to musical theatre. John McClain of the New York Journal American proclaimed, "it is the best and most exciting thing of its kind since Pal Joey. It is a triumph and a delight". Atkinson stated, "we might as well admit that Guys and Dolls is a work of art. It is spontaneous and has form, style, and spirit." Chapman asserted, "In all departments, Guys and Dolls is a perfect musical comedy".

The late Master referred to in the text is Damon Runyon.

Answer the following question: I read this background article the other day: In the U.S., the majority of electricity is produced by burning coal or other fossil fuels. This causes air pollution, acid rain, and global warming. Fossil fuels are also limited and may eventually run out. Like fossil fuels, radioactive elements are limited. In fact, they are relatively rare, so they could run out sooner rather than later. On the other hand, nuclear fission does not release air pollution or cause the other environmental problems associated with burning fossil fuels. This is the major advantage of using nuclear fission as a source of energy. I am facing a new situation today: An alien passing by Earth in a UFO to write a report on two random cities so that his government can better understand what the people of Earth are like. He first flies over Nillmar, a city in France, which uses burns coal as its main production of electricity. After observing Nillmar, the alien flies over to Springfield, a city in the United States, that decided to use nuclear power to fuel itself. After taking his notes, the alien leaves and is eager to report back to his superiors about what he discovered. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which city will need to change its method of electricity production later?
Answer:
|
Based on the information provided in the background article, it is clear that burning coal or other fossil fuels to produce electricity causes air pollution, acid rain, and global warming. Fossil fuels are also limited and may eventually run out. On the other hand, nuclear fission does not release air pollution or cause the other environmental problems associated with burning fossil fuels. Therefore, it can be inferred that Nillmar, the city in France that uses coal as its main source of electricity production, will need to change its method of electricity production later. This is because the use of coal as a source of energy is not sustainable in the long run due to its negative impact on the environment and the fact that it is a limited resource. In contrast, Springfield, the city in the United States that uses nuclear power to fuel itself, has an advantage in terms of sustainability and environmental impact.

John III nicknamed "o Colonizador" was the King of Portugal and the Algarves from 13 December 1521 to 11 June 1557. He was the son of King Manuel I and Maria of Aragon, the third daughter of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile. John succeeded his father in 1521, at the age of nineteen. During his rule, Portuguese possessions were extended in Asia and in the New World through the Portuguese colonization of Brazil. John III's policy of reinforcing Portugal's bases in India secured Portugal's monopoly over the spice trade of cloves and nutmeg from the Maluku Islands, as a result of which John III has been called the "Grocer King". On the eve of his death in 1557, the Portuguese empire had a global dimension and spanned almost 1 billion acres . During his reign, the Portuguese became the first Europeans to make contact with both China, under the Ming Dynasty, and Japan, during the Muromachi period. He abandoned Muslim territories in North Africa in favor of trade with India and investment in Brazil. In Europe, he improved relations with the Baltic region and the Rhineland, hoping that this would bolster Portuguese trade.
Based on the above article, answer a question. Where did Portugal extend lands to during John III's reign?
|
During John III's reign, Portuguese possessions were extended in Asia and in the New World through the Portuguese colonization of Brazil.

Found the following article online, use it to answer the question: Who cooks with bubble gum by mistake? The Stooges operate a local drugstore whose landlord, the cantankerous Amos Flint, informs them their lease is about to expire. Larry protests that the trio have had their establishment for a decade, and do not want to leave. As the four bicker, Flint's elderly wife Cerina enters the store, only to be berated by Flint for being an old hag. "25 years is enough," he coldly confirms. After he storms off, the boys take to the frail Cerina, who begins to weep that ever since she lost her beauty, Amos had threatened to leave. Both saddened and incensed, the Stooges offer Cerina their spare room in the back. Shemp, seeing this, hatches a plan to invent a "Fountain of Youth" to restore Cerina to her stunning beauty. Deeming the idea "tremendous, colossal and putrid," the Stooges flee to their pharmaceutical lab and mix together a powerful serum. After several false tries, the trio give Cerina a taste of their Fountain of Youth, and she transforms into a fetching beauty right before their eyes. Several days later, Amos comes storming into the Stooges' drug store only to see the youthful Cerina flaunting her newfound beauty. Amos quickly reneges on his threat to evict the Stooges and even gives them the deed to their store in exchange for a dose of the serum himself. The Stooges proceed to mix a new batch on the spot, resulting in Amos becoming a baby. The following day, Cerina celebrates her return to youth by preparing a Marshmallow Jumbo layer cake. Shemp is assigned to hunt down marshmallows but inadvertently retrieves bubble gum. The resulting celebration then finds the Stooges and Cerina blowing bubbles after every bite, with Shemp getting two bubbles out of his ears.
The answer to this question is:
|
Shemp is the one who cooks with bubble gum by mistake.

Which one of these answers best answers the question according to the context? A: check the door for locks B: need to apologize to Jan C: run at the door
Answer:
|
Based on the context provided, the best answer to the question "What will Riley want to do next?" is B: need to apologize to Jan. This is because Riley forced Jan's entrance when the door wouldn't open for her, which suggests that Riley may have acted inappropriately or aggressively. Therefore, it would be appropriate for Riley to apologize to Jan for her behavior. Checking the door for locks or running at the door would not be relevant or appropriate actions in this context.

Question: What is Michael knocking over absentmindedely Title: 247°F Movie plot: Jenna (Scout Taylor-Compton) gets into a car accident with her boyfriend, Jamie, who eventually dies. Three years later, while coping with her past tragedy, Jenna is invited to stay for the weekend in a lakeside cabin by her best friend Renee (Christina Ulloa). They are joined by Reneeâs irresponsible boyfriend, Michael (Michael Copon), and his friend, Ian (Travis Van Winkle), and sail off at Ian's uncle, Wade's (Tyler Mane) lakeside cabin. They are greeted by Wade along with his friendly dog, named Beau. They settle in the cabin and plan on attending a party, since there is a festival happening around the nearby town at night. Jenna goes to her room and refuses to take her pills so she could have fun with her friends. While they all eat dinner, Wade mentions how he may not be around while they are away since he has work to do. The group gets fascinated when they stumble inside a sauna Wade built. While they enjoy spending time inside, the temperature gets warmer and they decide to swim at the lake. Trembling in cold, they all head back inside the sauna. Meanwhile, Michael gets high from the marijuana Wade had given to him, where Renee rebuffs his sexual advances. This upsets Michael and gets out of the sauna. As the temperature continues to rise, Renee ultimately decides to leave but the door is blocked from the outside. The trio think it is just one of Michael's pranks since they all know he's mad at Renee, which they don't find amusing. They soon realize that they are trapped in the sauna and attempts to break a small window on the door, injuring Ian's hand. They all take turns gasping for air as the temperature raises even higher with another unsuccessful attempt to unblock the door from the outside. The group then finds a hidden controller which they all can't risk destroying, since Ian believes it would just alter the temperature. Meanwhile, Wade is seen handling the fireworks for the festival with another guy, when Beau tracks the trio's scream, begging for help, from the back of the house. Michael...
The answer is:

Can't answer. The movie plot does not provide any information about what Michael is knocking over absentmindedly.

Detailed Instructions: In this task, you are given an input list. A list contains several comma-separated items written within brackets. You need to return the position of all the alphabetical elements in the given list in order. Assume the position of the 1st element to be 1. Return -1 if no alphabetical element is in the list.
Q: ['6647', 'X', '7801', 'A', 'i', '3313', 'C', 'r', '9703']
A:
|
Sure, I can complete this task for you. Here are the steps I will follow to complete this task:
1. First, I will define a function that takes a list as an input parameter.
2. Then, I will initialize an empty list to store the positions of alphabetical elements in the input list.
3. I will loop through each item in the input list using a for loop.
4. Inside the for loop, I will check if the current item is an alphabetical element using the isalpha() method.
5. If the current item is an alphabetical element, I will append its position in the input list to the list of positions.
6. After the loop completes, I will check if any alphabetical element was found in the input list. If not, I will return -1.
7. If there were any alphabetical elements found, I will return the list of positions.
Here is the code that implements the above steps:
```
def find_alphabetical_positions(input_list):
positions = []
for i in range(len(input_list)):
if input_list[i].isalpha():
positions.append(i+1)
if len(positions) == 0:
return -1
else:
return positions
```
Now, let's test the function with the given input list:
```
input_list = ['6647', 'X', '7801', 'A', 'i', '3313', 'C', 'r', '9703']
print(find_alphabetical_positions(input_list))
```
The output of the above code will be:
```
[2, 4, 5, 8]
```
This means that the alphabetical elements in the input list are at positions 2, 4, 5, and 8.

What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Scorpio men appreciate a partner with a sharp intellect and confident opinions. If your Scorpio partner is interested in an academic, political, or other topic, ask them about it. Listen to their opinion, then share your own (whether you agree with them entirely or not). You might say, for example, "So I noticed you're part of our school's environmental club. What got you into that?" Avoid discussing controversial topics until you've gotten to know him and can avoid offending him. Scorpios tend to hold strong opinions. Don't be offended if he's a passionate debater. He's not trying to offend you but is just explaining his perspective. Scorpios tend to be elusive with their true emotions but, if you can make your Scorpio man feel safe, he may open up to you about his feelings. Listen to him as he reveals this part of himself to help him feel loved. Try not to get overly-sappy. Scorpios tend to dislike sentimentality. Scorpio men are very ambitious and love to feel like their partner has their back. Ask your Scorpio about his goals and how you can support him. When he accomplishes one of his goals, congratulate him to show that you care. Although you don't have to fall into the role of "personal cheerleader," Scorpios do not mesh well with partners who hold them back from their dreams. Give your Scorpio space while he's working on an important project. Scorpios may be intense but, when it comes to their passion projects, they need alone time. Scorpio men love spending time outside, especially with the people they love. Spend a weekend or afternoon for an outdoor getaway with your Scorpio as your schedules allow. As a fixed water sign, Scorpios love water sports like wakeboarding, fishing, sailing, or water skiing. True intimacy is something that takes time with a Scorpio, but it is rewarding for both when it's established. Spend time with your Scorpio often to develop both elements of that connection. Don't rush into physical intimacy with your Scorpio man until you're both ready. Having deep conversations with him and building mutual trust is just as vital as kissing or cuddling. Scorpios are usually open about their sexual interests. Use your time dating a Scorpio man to explore your sexuality.

Here is a news article: First guidance on curbing health risks of too much sitting calls for sit-stand desks and regular walk-abouts
Office workers should be on their feet for a minimum of 2 hours daily during working hours, recommends the first ever UK guidance designed to curb the health risks of too much cumulative sitting time, and published online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
This daily quota should eventually be bumped up to 4 hours a day, breaking up prolonged periods of sitting with the use of sit-stand desks, standing based work, and regular walk-abouts, it says.
The guidance, which evaluates and distils the available evidence, was drawn up by a panel of international experts, at the behest of Public Health England and a UK community interest company (Active Working CIC).
It aims to make some core recommendations, amid the growing body of research linking prolonged periods spent seated?as opposed to being generally physically inactive?with a heightened risk of serious illness and premature death, and the burgeoning market of workplace products developed in response to the emerging evidence.
The authors point out that in the UK sedentary behaviour now accounts for 60% of people's waking hours and for 70% of those at high risk of a long term condition.
"For those working in offices, 65-75% of their working hours are spent sitting, of which more than 50% of this is accumulated in prolonged periods of sustained sitting," they write.
"The evidence is clearly emerging that a first 'behavioural' step could be simply to get people standing and moving more frequently as part of their working day," they say, adding that this is likely to be more achievable than targeted exercise.
Based on the current evidence they recommend:
2 hours daily of standing and light activity (light walking) during working hours, eventually progressing to a total of 4 hours for all office workers whose jobs are predominantly desk based
Regularly breaking up seated based work with standing based work, with the use of adjustable sit-stand desks/work stations
Avoidance of prolonged static standing, which may be as harmful as prolonged sitting
Altering posture/light walking to alleviate possible musculoskeletal pain and fatigue as part of the adaptive process
As well as encouraging staff to embrace other healthy behaviours, such as cutting down on drinking and smoking, eating a nutritious diet, and alleviating stress, employers should also warn their staff about the potential dangers of too much time spent sitting down either at work or at home
Some companies have already invested time and money creating a more active working environment for their staff, but those that haven't should evaluate how best to achieve the recommendations, they say.
This could include deciding when and how staff take breaks which involve standing and movement; and desk designs and technologies that allow employees to do their job more easily either at their desk or from other locations in the office while standing up, they suggest.
The authors acknowledge that much of the evidence they draw on for their recommendations is based on observational and retrospective studies, which make it difficult to prove direct cause and effect.
Nevertheless, they emphasise: "While longer term intervention studies are required, the level of consistent evidence accumulated to date, and the public health context of rising chronic diseases, suggest initial guidelines are justified."

You may want to stand up while you read this -- and a lot of other stuff.
Experts now say you should start standing up at work for at least two hours a day -- and work your way toward four.
That's a long-awaited answer for a growing number of workers who may have heard of the terrible health effects of prolonged sitting and been wondering whether they should buy standing desks or treadmill desks.
Today, the average office worker sits for about 10 hours, first all those hours in front of the computer, plowing through e-mails, making calls or writing proposals — and eating lunch. And then all those hours of sitting in front of the TV or surfing the Web at home.
Medical researchers have long warned that prolonged sitting is dangerous, associated with a significantly higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and depression, as well as muscle and joint problems. Some have gone on to say that the office chair is worse for your health than smoking and kills more people than HIV. Even working out vigorously before or after work may not compensate for extending sitting.
But now, those researchers have come up with formal suggestions for how much time to sit and to stand that could dramatically change our work habits.
According to the expert statement released in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Americans should begin to stand, move and take breaks for at least two out of eight hours at work. Then, Americans should gradually work up to spending at least half of your eight-hour work day in what researchers call these “light-intensity activities.”
“Our whole culture invites you to take a seat. We say, ‘Are you comfortable? Please take a seat?’ So we know we have a huge job in front of us,” said Gavin Bradley, director of Active Working, an international group aimed at reducing excessive sitting that, along with Public Health England, convened the expert panel. “Our first order of business is to get people to spend two hours of their work day NOT sitting. However you do it, the point is to just get off your rear end.”
Bradley said the first level of activity is simply standing.
“I’m standing right now while I’m talking on the phone,” he said. While the group endorses the use of sit/stand desks, Bradley said there are other activities that can get people to move for two hours during the work day. “Taking your calls standing. Walking around. Pacing. Holding standing meetings. Walking meetings. Walking over to a colleague’s desk instead of sending an e-mail. Using the stairs instead of the elevator. Taking a lunch break. Simple stuff.”
Bradley himself has changed the way he works completely since taking on this challenge to get people out of their seats: He starts his day standing on a comfort mat and has his sit-stand desk programmed to tell him, through a pop up notification on his computer, to change his posture every 20 to 30 minutes.
“It’s all about mixing it up,” he said. “Metabolism slows down 90 percent after 30 minutes of sitting. The enzymes that move the bad fat from your arteries to your muscles, where it can get burned off, slow down. The muscles in your lower body are turned off. And after two hours, good cholesterol drops 20 percent. Just getting up for five minutes is going to get things going again. These things are so simple they’re almost stupid.”
Researchers have known about the link between inactivity and higher rates of sickness and mortality dating back to studies of bus drivers and office-based postal workers in the 1950s. And more recent observational studies comparing workers who sit for long periods against those who sit for fewer hours have found that sedentary workers have more than twice the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, a 13 percent increased risk of cancer and 17 percent increased risk of dying.
At the same time, with the rise of office work, the use of cars and buses rather than walking or bicycles, and the rise of leisure pursuits like TV and computer games that favor the couch potato, the world has become more sedentary. The World Health Organization estimates that 95 percent of the world’s adult population is inactive, failing to meet minimum recommendations for health of 30 minutes of moderate to intense physical activity five times a week.
Authors of the new guidelines said they were a starting point only, and designed to give people some kind of research-based target, rather than rely on the claims made by the manufacturers of treadmill and sit-stand desks that are becoming all the rage. (More than 90 percent of workers in Scandinavia have access to them.)
"This is an initial guidance, which we do expect to have to evolve with time,” said James Buckley, one of the report authors and a professor at the Institute of Medicine at the University Centre Shrewsbury and University of Chester. “But to ensure the marketing and promotions people to race away with self-determined claims, we have felt it is better to have some guidance rather than no guidance that is some how linked with scientific evidence.”
James Levine, an obesity expert at the Mayo Clinic and author of the book, “Stand Up,” though not involved in the guidelines, said they were a good start. In his work, he found that the reason why some people seem to eat a lot, never work out, yet never put on weight, is because they’re standing, walking and moving more throughout the day, rather than sitting for hours on end.
The guidelines "show we need to fundamentally rethink the way we’re working,” Levine said. Some small studies, he said, have found not only health improved, but also productivity ticked up 15 percent when people stood and moved more during the day. “The way we have developed our workplaces and even our schools is actually profoundly unhealthy. It’s a real design failure.”
But it’s not just office design, the researchers say. It’s work culture. Shannon Wurthman is a case in point. When Wurthman, 29, moved with her husband to Urbana, Ill., she left her office job and became a freelance consultant for web development companies and social media organizations. She began working at home.
“In the office, there’s so much pressure to sit – the feeling is, if your butt’s not in your seat, you’re probably not doing your job,” she said. “But now that I'm working at home, I don’t get up and walk around to talk to people. I'm not walking to meetings. I'm not even walking to and from my car in the parking lot.”
She has the flexibility to take walks during the day. But she doesn’t. “I get so caught up in my work,” she said. Plus, her work in social media keeps her digitally connected at all hours. And, research has found, people who telework tend to put in longer hours than office workers.
But Levine and other researchers said change is on the horizon. Some companies are holding standing meetings. Jennifer Heimberg, a physicist at the National Academy of Sciences, goes on a run with her boss for her annual performance evaluation. "It can be easier to introduce difficult topics when you aren’t sitting across the desk from each other," she said.
Ikea is marketing a cheaper sit-stand desk. And Apple’s new watch can be programmed to tell people when it’s time to move.
Jessica DeGroot, who heads the nonprofit ThirdPath Institute designed to help people better integrate their work and home lives, can also find herself caught up in work.
“But I know that I think better when I get up and walk outside,” she said.
So at a recent conference, she paired up attendees and had them “Walk and Talk” from 2:30 to 3 p.m.
“At the typical conference, people have been sitting all day, and by 2 or 3 o’clock, they’re drained,” she said. “Instead, when people came back from the walk, they were smiling and engaged. Strangers sat down next to each other just so they could keep on talking they were so jazzed. It was fun to watch.” ||||| British people sit for 8.9 hours each day (on average).

In recent years a variety of major international research has produced compelling evidence that sitting for more than 4 hours each day leads to:Irrespective of your level of physical activity, the result leads to increased risks of:We recommend you calculate the hours you spend sitting on an average "working day".Make sure you include your sitting time whilst at work, commuting and at home. ||||| Abstract
An international group of experts was invited by Public Health England and a UK community interest company (Active Working CIC) to provide guidelines for employers to promote the avoidance of prolonged periods of sedentary work. The set of recommendations was developed from the totality of the current evidence, including long-term epidemiological studies and interventional studies of getting workers to stand and/or move more frequently. The evidence was ranked in quality using the four levels of the American College of Sports Medicine. The derived guidance is as follows: for those occupations which are predominantly desk based, workers should aim to initially progress towards accumulating 2 h/day of standing and light activity (light walking) during working hours, eventually progressing to a total accumulation of 4 h/day (prorated to part-time hours). To achieve this, seated-based work should be regularly broken up with standing-based work, the use of sit–stand desks, or the taking of short active standing breaks. Along with other health promotion goals (improved nutrition, reducing alcohol, smoking and stress), companies should also promote among their staff that prolonged sitting, aggregated from work and in leisure time, may significantly and independently increase the risk of cardiometabolic diseases and premature mortality. It is appreciated that these recommendations should be interpreted in relation to the evidence from which they were derived, largely observational and retrospective studies, or short-term interventional studies showing acute cardiometabolic changes. While longer term intervention studies are required, the level of consistent evidence accumulated to date, and the public health context of rising chronic diseases, suggest initial guidelines are justified. We hope these guidelines stimulate future research, and that greater precision will be possible within future iterations. ||||| Research co-commissioned by Public Health England calls for a workplace revolution through use of sit-stand desks to avoid risks of a sedentary lifestyle
Office employees should be on feet for four hours of working day, study says
Office workers should spend a minimum of two hours on their feet at work – building up to an ideal four hours – in order to avoid the ill effects of a sedentary lifestyle, according to a study co-commissioned by Public Health England.
Research has long linked excessive time spent sitting to increased risk of morbidity or premature death but the advice, co-commissioned by Public Health England and published on Monday, represents the first time British workers have been provided with quantifiable targets for getting out of their seats.
The study authors, who include experts from the UK, US and Australia, call for a revolution in the workplace through the use of sit-stand desks, standing-based work and regular walkabouts.
They also urge further research into whether facilities such as toilets should be moved further away from staff, some emails could be replaced by hand-delivered messages and employees could have alarms on computers or personal motion assessment devices prompting them to move.
Study co-author Gavin Bradley, from Active Working, a community interest company which co-commissioned the study and set up www.getbritainstanding.org, said: “We are creatures of habit and we have come to the wrong conclusion, that sitting is the optimum way of conducting office work. We need an environment where people feel much more liberated to do desk standing.”
Reviewing existing scientific evidence, which dictated the thresholds they set, the authors found that compared with those who sit the least, those who sit most are more than twice as likely to develop type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease and have a 13% and 17% increased risk of cancer incidence and mortality respectively.
Office workers spend 65% to 75% of their working hours sitting, half of which is in prolonged periods of sustained sitting, according to the study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

British people sit for 8.9 hours each day on average and one study suggested that, for those sitting more than seven hours a day, there is a 5% increased risk of premature death with each additional hour off their feet.
Bradley said some tasks, such as writing a paper or numerical analysis, were better done sitting but others such as meetings or going through your inbox were actually more productive when standing.
To that end the study champions sit-stand adjustable desks, which only 1% of office workers in the UK have access to, compared with 90% in Scandinavia, according to research.
They typically cost hundreds of pounds each but the study says benefits are accrued through improved productivity, less absenteeism and reduced healthcare costs.
However, the CBI responded cautiously to the study. “Companies will generally take a commonsense approach, and offices can be redesigned to encourage different ways of working, but ultimately firms will seek to balance the practicalities of time spent away from desks with the needs of the business,” a spokesman said.
Professor Maureen Baker, chair of the Royal College of GPs, representing members of a profession who were urged to stand up during consultations in an article in the BMJ last year, said GPs tended to move about anyway but that the study “provides food for thought”.
She added: “In many cases – particularly for smaller organisations – the adjustments necessary to allow employees to stand for a significant proportion of the day might be unrealistic. It is, however, important that any employer recognises the responsibility they have to maintain their employees’ good health.”
Bradley said staff should not feel shy about standing up at their desk, whatever the reaction of their employer or colleagues.
“We are all sheep but as soon as the black sheep has his finger on the pulse and as soon as the shepherd or employer accepts that, they soon become a white sheep again,” he said.
The study stresses that standing still for prolonged periods of time also carries health risks and warns that people who start standing more “could expect musculoskeletal sensations and some fatigue as part of the positive adaptive process”.
Dr Ann Hoskins, of Public Health England, welcomed the study but said “more research needs to be carried out before daily targets for work place activity are recommended”. |||||

Process: - Ocean waves hit land - Ocean water pulls sand off of beaches - Ocean water breaks rocks off of cliffs - Ocean water carries sand and rocks into the ocean - Sand and rocks go to other land or the bottom of the ocean. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose "the moons gravitational pull weakens" happens, how will it affect LESS erosion by the ocean. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A:
|
If the moon's gravitational pull weakens, it will have a direct effect on the ocean tides. The tides will be less strong, which means that the waves hitting the land will be less powerful. As a result, there will be less erosion of the beaches and cliffs.
However, the weakening of the moon's gravitational pull may also have an indirect effect on the process. The tides are not the only factor that affects erosion by the ocean. Other factors such as wind, currents, and storms also play a role. If the weakening of the moon's gravitational pull affects any of these factors, it could indirectly affect erosion by the ocean.
For example, if the weakening of the moon's gravitational pull causes changes in ocean currents, it could change the way sand and rocks are carried into the ocean. This could lead to changes in the distribution of sand and rocks on other land or the bottom of the ocean.
Overall, the direct effect of the weakening of the moon's gravitational pull on erosion by the ocean is clear - it will lead to less erosion. However, the indirect effects are less clear and would require further investigation to fully understand.

Write a title for this article:
I have come to Millbrook Proving Ground, where cars are put through their paces, to be put through mine. And to make it easy, I'll be behind the wheel of the Vauxhall Corsa ecoFlex, wired up to measure everything from fuel consumption to CO2 emissions, throttle position to air inlet temperature.
The idea is that I pootle round the route as normal, then, after a quick tutorial on ecologically efficient driving, retake the course and compare the two sets of data. Sounds a doddle, doesn't it? I thought so, too, until I got behind the wheel.
The proving ground features the driving conditions typical of Britain's roads; roundabouts, motorway, stop-start urban stretches and, of course, potholes. After negotiating all of the above, with an automotive engineer in the passenger seat, I take the scenic route up a winding hill, where car adverts are often filmed. The area is known as the Alpine Hills. And with good reason.
On reaching the top, I peer over the brow of said hill and scream aloud at the 21 per cent gradient slope that greets me. I am so appalled that I almost burst into tears as, foot on the brake pedal, I jerk the car down a couple of feet at a time, shamefully bunnyhopping to the bottom.
Back in the meeting room afterwards, my driving data appears as a series of graphs; and, it's fair to say, it's dismal. Under perfect laboratory conditions, the Corsa ecoFlex uses a gallon every 76.3 miles. I have managed just 41mpg and the peaks and troughs show I've been revving the engine too much, braking too abruptly and generally been very erratic – and not just at the part where I thought I might die.
In order to reduce my fuel consumption and therefore my C02 emissions, I am advised to adopt three key strategies. The first is to reduce the engine revs, by changing up at 2,000rpm.
Secondly, I am advised to remove my foot from the accelerator and coast in gear wherever possible, so the car is carried along by its momentum and not using fuel.
The third strategy is to accelerate gently. Acceleration uses a lot of fuel, so I am encouraged to be light-footed by imagining that there is an egg between the sole of my foot and the pedal.
And so I take to the road again, this time making a conscious effort to put these principles into practice; gliding gracefully towards Stop signs, smoothly changing gear and easing off the throttle.
This time at the Alpine Hills I am prepared, but no less terrified. In fact, I stall twice with nervousness, but then I take a deep breath and – yes! – coast down the hill, albeit with my foot resting lightly on the brake.
The results are markedly better; even at first glance the graph is less dramatic. I have reduced my fuel consumption to 46mpg, a difference of 11 per cent. This represents a saving of 110 litres of fuel, or £131 a year at today's prices. My CO2 emissions are reduced by 10 per cent, a decrease of 290kg annually. What's more, I took roughly the same amount of time to complete the course, so I wasn't going at granny speed (well, no more than usual) to achieve the improvements.
A fortnight after the course, I am still endeavouring to coast, change gear before the engine is screaming for mercy and go easy on the accelerator. I'm getting a real buzz from saving fuel, money and a tiny bit of the planet. Just imagine what a difference I could make if I were actually a good driver...

Definition: In this task, you are given a text from a social media post. Your task is to classify the given post into two categories: 1) yes if the given post is sexually offensive, 2) no, otherwise. Emphasis on sexually offensive or any lewd reference. Generate label 'no' for offensive posts that do not reference sexually explicit content. Warning: the examples and instances may contain offensive language.
Input: Nigga said dates is pussy installment plans, so is that why you gotta keep saying her when you get it cuz it's never truly yours?
Output:
|
The given text contains offensive language and a reference to sexual content. Therefore, the post is classified as sexually offensive and the output label is 'yes'. The use of the word "pussy" in reference to "installment plans" is a crude and derogatory reference to women's bodies. Additionally, the question about "saying her when you get it" implies objectification and ownership of women's bodies. Therefore, the post is deemed sexually offensive and the label 'yes' is assigned.

Please answer the following question: My Pa disappeared somewhere in the wilds of 1975, when I was just fourteen years old. He was the Ambassador to 1975, but back home in 1898, in New Jerusalem, Utah, they all thought he was Ambassador to France. When he disappeared, Mama and I came back through the triple-bolted door that led from our apt in 1975 to our horsebarn in 1898. We returned to the dusty streets of New Jerusalem, and I had to keep on reminding myself that I was supposed to have been in France, and 'polly-voo' for my chums, and tell whoppers about the Eiffel Tower and the fancy bread and the snails and frogs we'd eaten. I was born in New Jerusalem, and raised there till I was ten. Then, one summer's day, my Pa sat me on his knee and told me we'd be going away for a while, that he had a new job. 'But what about the store?' I said, scandalised. My Pa's wonderful store, the only General Store in town not run by the Saints, was my second home. I'd spent my whole life crawling and then walking on the dusty wooden floors, checking stock and unpacking crates with waybills from exotic places like Salt Lake City and even San Francisco. Pa looked uncomfortable. 'Mr Johnstone is buying it.' My mouth dropped. James H Johnstone was as dandified a city-slicker as you'd ever hope to meet. He'd blown into town on the weekly Zephyr Speedball, and skinny Tommy Benson had hauled his three huge steamer trunks to the cowboy hotel. He'd tipped Tommy two dollars, in Wells-Fargo notes, and later, in the empty lot behind the smithy, all the kids in New Jerusalem had gathered 'round Tommy to goggle at the small fortune in queer, never-seen bills. 'Pa, no!' I said, without thinking. I knew that if my chums ordered their fathers around like that, they'd get a whipping, but my Pa almost never whipped me. According to the above context, choose the correct option to answer the following question. Question: After he end of the story, who takes over the general store? Options: - Pa - not enough information - Tommy Benson - James H Johnstone
Answer:
|
James H Johnstone takes over the general store. This is mentioned in the passage when Pa tells the protagonist that Mr Johnstone is buying the store.

It was introduced in 1906 as a successor to the Models A and C as the company 's inexpensive entry - level line . It was built at the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant . The Model N diverged from its predecessors in that it was a front - engine car with a 4 - cylinder engine . The 15 hp straight - 4 drove the rear wheels via a long shaft . This was also the first American car to use vanadium steel . The car had a wheelbase of 84 in ( 2,100 mm ) . A successful model , 7000 cars were made before production ended in 1908 . At US $ 500 , the car was viewed as highly affordable at the time ; by contrast , the high - volume Oldsmobile Runabout went for $ 650 , Western 's Gale Model A was $ 500 , the Brush Runabout $ 485 , the Black went for as low as $ 375 , and the Success hit the amazingly low $ 250 . Maroon was the only factory color for the Model N. - The Ford Model T (colloquially known as the Tin Lizzie, TModel Ford, Model T, T, Leaping Lena, or flivver) is an automobile that was produced by Ford Motor Company from October 1, 1908, to May 26, 1927. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that opened travel to the common middle-class American; some of this was because of Ford's efficient fabrication, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting. - Detroit is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Michigan, the fourth-largest city in the Midwest and the largest city on the United StatesCanada border. It is the seat of Wayne County, the most populous county in the state. - The Piquette Avenue Industrial Historic District is a historic district located along Piquette Street in Detroit, Michigan, from Woodward Avenue on the west to Hastings Street on the east. The district extends approximately one block south of Piquette to Harper, and one block north to the Grand Trunk Western Railroad Line. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. - The Ford Piquette Avenue Plant is a museum and former factory located at 461 Piquette Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, within the Piquette Avenue Industrial Historic District in Milwaukee Junction. It was the second home of Ford Motor Company automobile production and is best known as the birthplace of the Ford Model T. It is the oldest automotive factory building in the world open to the general public. It is approximately west of the original Dodge Brothers factory in neighboring Hamtramck.

- The sediments become glued together - The glued together parts become hard like cement - The sediment becomes a big rock - The rocks erode slowly - The rocks come apart - The rocks become smaller rocks - The rocks continue to erode into smaller rocks - The process starts again. What might be the first step of the process?
The answer to this question is:
|
The first step of the process is "sediments become glued together". This is the initial stage of the process of sedimentary rock formation, where loose sediments such as sand, mud, and gravel are compacted and cemented together by minerals like silica, calcium carbonate, or iron oxide. This process is called lithification, and it transforms loose sediments into solid rock. Once the sediments are glued together, they become hard like cement, forming a sedimentary rock.

Math problem: Solve -664 + 642 + 1726 = 213*l for l.
What is the solution?
|
First, we need to simplify the left-hand side of the equation by adding the three numbers together.
-664 + 642 + 1726 = 1704
So now we have the equation:
1704 = 213*l
To solve for l, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides by 213:
1704/213 = l
Simplifying the left-hand side:
8 = l
Therefore, the solution is l = 8.

Question: I am a movie director and I just received the following movie plot. Could you help me answer this question? If not, let me know by writing "Not answerable". Plot title: Bridesmaids Movie plot: Annie Walker (Kristen Wiig) is a single woman in her mid 30s, living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After her bakery failed, she lost her boyfriend and all of her savings, and now works in a jewelers store selling engagement rings. Although her flaky mother (Jill Clayburgh) encourages her to return home, Annie rents a bedroom from British immigrant Gil (Matt Lucas) and his lazy overweight sister Brynn (Rebel Wilson). She has a sexual no-strings-attached relationship with the self-absorbed Ted (Jon Hamm) but hopes for something more. Only her friendship with Lillian Donovan (Maya Rudolph) keeps her sane.Lillian becomes engaged to a wealthy banker living in Chicago and asks Annie to be her maid of honor. At the engagement party at Lillian's house, Annie meets her fellow bridesmaids: Lillian's cynical cousin Rita (Wendi McLendon-Covey), idealistic friend Becca (Ellie Kemper), raunchy future sister-in-law Megan (Melissa McCarthy) and Helen Harris, III (Rose Byrne), the beautiful but vain wife of Lillian's fiance's boss. Helen and Annie take an instant dislike to each other as they are both become immediately jealous of the other's friendship with Lillian, but Lillian persuades them to spend time together. During a game of doubles tennis, Annie and Helen are both hyper competitive, deliberately hitting each other with their volleys multiple times.A few days later, Annie takes Lillian and the bridesmaids to a Brazilian restaurant for lunch before going to a chic bridal gown studio. While Lillian is in the restroom, Annie suggests a Parisian themed bridal shower, but Helen thinks this is a bad idea. At the bridal gown studio, Helen again uses her influence to gain them access because Annie did not realize that reservations were needed. However, everyone except Helen (who did not eat the meat at the restaurant) becomes ill with food poisoning. While everyone else becomes ill, Helen orders for everyone the bridesmaids dress that she liked the best.Worried about her finances, Annie suggests a bachelorette party at Lillian's... My question: Who do Annie and Helen ask to help find Lillian?
Answer:
|
Annie and Helen ask Officer Nathan Rhodes (Chris O'Dowd) to help find Lillian after she goes missing on the day of her wedding.
