### Human: Choose how you want this story to end. At least five national TV journalists have met in private with the police officer responsible for the shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in August. Officer Darren Wilson hasn't been seen in public - let alone interviewed - since the shooting, but he has met with the high profile television anchors to discuss the possibility of doing a televised interview at some point. While a grand jury continues to deliberate over whether to charge Wilson for shooting Brown, the officer is believed to have met with anchors including NBC’s Matt Lauer, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, CBS’ Scott Pelley and CNN’s Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon. Other TV anchors who've met with Wilson been named as (from left to right) CBS’ OPTIONS: - ABC, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon - Anderson Cooper, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon - Brown, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon - CBS, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon - CNN, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon - Cooper, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon - Darren Wilson, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon - Don Lemon, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon - Ferguson, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon - George Stephanopoulos, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon - Lemon, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon - Matt Lauer, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon - Michael Brown, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon - Missouri, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon - NBC, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon - Reliable Sources, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon - Scott Pelley, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon - Wilson, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon ### Assistant: The correct answer is: Darren Wilson, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon Explanation: This question is asking you to choose the correct combination of TV journalists who have met with Officer Darren Wilson, the police officer responsible for the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. The correct answer is "Darren Wilson, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon". This means that Officer Wilson has met with both George Stephanopoulos from ABC and Don Lemon from CNN. The other options are incorrect because they either include incorrect names or incorrect combinations of names. For example, "Anderson Cooper, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon" is incorrect because it includes Anderson Cooper, who is not mentioned in the article. Similarly, "Brown, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon" and "Michael Brown, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and CNN's Don Lemon" are incorrect because they refer to Michael Brown, the teenager who was shot, rather than Officer Wilson. Remember to read the question carefully and pay attention to the details in the article to choose the correct answer.

### Human: Please answer the following question: Question: what are the names of the two engineers ? If there is no answer, please output "Insufficient information to provide an answer.". Movie title: Primer Context: Four engineers- Aaron (Shane Carruth), Abe (David Sullivan), Robert, and Phillip who work for a large corporation during the day, run a side business from Aaron's garage at night, building and selling JTAG cards. With the proceeds of this work they fund pet science projects that they hope will yield applications sufficient to attract "VC attention". After arguing over the project that the group should tackle next, Aaron and Abe independently pursue work on technology intended to reduce the weight of an object. Although the device seems to work as planned, it has a side effect: a timepiece left in the device shows the watch has experienced about 1300 times the amount of time the device was activated for. Abe reasons that they have created a time machine.After some testing, Abe secretly builds a prototype machine large enough to hold a person and, after traveling back to earlier that day, details the results to Aaron. Abe and Aaron build an additional machine (subsequently called "the box") and decide to cut Robert and Phillip out of the discovery, under the false pretense that the garage has to be fumigated.Abe and Aaron starts using the time machines to make money in the stock market, but as their understanding of how the machines work evolves, they become more adventurous with their trips. Their experimentation is cut short by the unexpected appearance of Thomas Granger (Chip Carruth), the father of Abe's girlfriend Rachel, whose financial backing the group had been trying to procure. Granger's trip appears to have made him comatose, and neither understand how Granger could have discovered the box. Abe is particularly disturbed by this turn of events and concludes that time travel is too dangerous to continue. He attempts to prevent his past self from using the machine for time travel, thereby nullifying all of its consequences, by using a "failsafe" machine, which he previously built in secret, to travel back to a point prior to his first trip through time and also prior to his broaching the subject of time... A: ### Assistant: The names of the two engineers are Aaron and Abe.

### Human: Question: Billy needed his hammer, so he looked where? Choices: - hardware store - toolbelt - repair shop - backpack - tool box The rationale to choose "tool box" as the answer is that: ### Assistant: Based on the given options, the most likely place for Billy to find his hammer would be in his tool box. A tool box is a container used for storing tools, and it is a common place for people to keep their hammers. The hardware store and repair shop are places where Billy could buy or repair a hammer, but not necessarily where he would find his own hammer. The toolbelt is a wearable tool holder, but it is not a storage place for tools when not in use. The backpack is also not a common place for people to store hammers, unless Billy specifically put it there for some reason. Therefore, the most logical answer would be "tool box".

### Human: Given the question: The exercise is to decide whether the question accepts the proposed suggestion as a correct answer. If yes, write "True", otherwise write "False". Question: what is kathmandu known for Suggestion: Today, Kathmandu is not only the capital of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, but also the headquarters of the Central Development Region of Nepal . The answer is: ### Assistant: False. The suggested answer provides information about Kathmandu, but it does not directly answer the question of what Kathmandu is known for. The question is asking for a specific aspect or characteristic that is commonly associated with Kathmandu. Therefore, the suggested answer cannot be accepted as a correct answer to the question.

### Human: Please answer the following question: Extract the answer to the question from the following context. Question: If something is not a physical quantity, what is it known as? Context: In 1807, Thomas Young was possibly the first to use the term "energy" instead of vis viva, in its modern sense. Gustave-Gaspard Coriolis described "kinetic energy" in 1829 in its modern sense, and in 1853, William Rankine coined the term "potential energy". The law of conservation of energy was also first postulated in the early 19th century, and applies to any isolated system. It was argued for some years whether heat was a physical substance, dubbed the caloric, or merely a physical quantity, such as momentum. In 1845 James Prescott Joule discovered the link between mechanical work and the generation of heat. Answer: ### Assistant: If something is not a physical quantity, it is known as a physical substance.

### Human: Question: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: Q My daughter is a junior in high school and has been on an individualized education program since fourth grade. She plans to go to college and intends to finish with a master's degree. Her performance is fairly good, but test scores are very low. She has held many leadership and volunteer positions. We have been advised to have her write an essay about how her learning disability is a barrier that she has overcome. Will that help or hurt her chances for admission? --Deborah AFirst let me answer the question on low standardized test scores (ACT/ SAT). There are hundreds of colleges that are "test optional" which means students can choose not to release their test scores in the application process. Admission decisions at these colleges for students who do not submit their test scores are made based on other factors. A list of test optional colleges can be found atfairtest.org. It is important, however, to make sure that the college is the right fit academically regardless of the test optional policy. You also asked if your daughter should write about her disability and if this would hurt her chances of being admitted. Please know that colleges do not deny admission based on disability. "Disclosing" a learning disability in a personal statement within the college application can certainly help. By writing a personal statement, students can potentially demonstrate, for example, their understanding of the challenge they face. They might also demonstrate an improved grade trend in that subject area, and show interest in more complex courses in spite of this disability. More importantly, a student disclosure can show self-confidence, motivation and an understanding of the disability. --Ms. Kravis Answer: ### Assistant: What is the benefit of disclosing a learning disability in a personal statement within a college application? A) It will hurt the chances of being admitted B) It will have no impact on the admission decision C) It can potentially demonstrate self-confidence, motivation, and an understanding of the disability D) It will guarantee admission to the college

### Human: Given the following context: On 7 May 1896, Sir Humphrey Francis de Trafford put the 1,183-acre (4,790,000 m2) estate up for auction, but it failed to reach its reported reserve price of £300,000 (£34.1 million as of 2019). There was much public debate, before and after the abortive sale, as to whether Manchester Corporation ought to buy Trafford Park, but the corporation could not agree terms quickly enough, and so on 23 June Ernest Terah Hooley became the new owner of Trafford Park, for the sum of £360,000 (£40.9 million as of 2019).On 17 August, Hooley formed Trafford Park Estates Ltd, transferring his ownership of the park to the new company – of which he was the chairman and a significant shareholder – at a substantial profit. The initial plans for the estate included a racetrack, exclusive housing and a cycle works, along with the development of the ship canal frontage for "all types of trade including timber". By that time the ship canal had been open for two years, but the predicted traffic had yet to materialise. Hooley met with Marshall Stevens, the general manager of the Ship Canal Company, and both men recognised the benefit that the industrial development of Trafford Park could offer to the ship canal, and the ship canal to the estate. In January 1897 Stevens became the managing director of Trafford Park Estates. He remained with the company, latterly as its joint chairman and managing director, until 1930. The company initially chose not to construct buildings for letting, and instead leased land for development. But by the end of June 1897 less than one per cent of the park had been leased, and so the park's existing assets were put to use until more tenants could be found. Trafford Hall was opened as a hotel in 1899, to serve prospective industrialists considering a move to the park, along with their key employees. It had 40 bedrooms, available to "Gentlemen only". The hall's stables and some other outbuildings were used for stock auctions and the sale of horses, from 1900 to 1902, and the ornamental lake was leased to... answer the following question: What failed to reach its reserve price at auction? Answer: ### Assistant: The 1,183-acre estate of Trafford Park failed to reach its reserve price of £300,000 at auction.

### Human: And as for why it happened, I'm no expert on the Texas procedures, but what my friends there tell me is that the governor opposed a measure put forward by Democrats in the legislature to expand the number of children that would be covered. And instead directed the money toward a tax cut, a significant part of which went to wealthy interests. Does this next sentence follow, given the preceding text? The number of children would have been expanded but the number of adults would stay the same. Choices: [1]. Yes; [2]. It's impossible to say; [3]. No; ### Assistant: Based on the preceding text, it is impossible to say whether the next sentence is true or false. The text only mentions that the governor opposed a measure to expand the number of children covered and directed the money toward a tax cut. There is no information provided about whether the number of adults would stay the same or not. Therefore, option [2] "It's impossible to say" is the correct answer.

### Human: Q: Nearly all rocks are made of what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Nearly all rocks are made of minerals. A few are made of materials that do not fit the definition of minerals. Choices: - sand - calcium - magma - minerals A: ### Assistant: The correct option is minerals. Rocks are typically composed of minerals, which are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure. Minerals can form through a variety of processes, including cooling and solidification of magma or lava, precipitation from water, and chemical reactions between different substances. Some common minerals found in rocks include quartz, feldspar, mica, and calcite. While there are some rocks that are made of materials that do not fit the definition of minerals, such as coal or obsidian, the vast majority of rocks are indeed composed of minerals.

### Human: Write a question about the following article: The kingdom of Assam was the last conquest of Bodawpaya. In December 1816, he sent a 16,000-strong force to Assam to install his nominee, Chandra Kanta Singh, to the Assamese throne. From their northernmost forts in Hukawng Valley in present-day northern Kachin State, the Burmese army crossed the 9,000-foot high Himalayan Patkai range, and finally entered Assam in early 1817. The army decisively defeated the Assamese army at the battle of Kathalguri, near the Assamese capital Jorhat. A pro-Burmese minister Badan Chandra was installed, with Singh as the nominal king. The army left in April 1817 but instabilities resumed soon after, and Singh had to flee Jorhat. The army had to return in February 1819, and reinstated Singh. A large portion of the army remained in Assam to hunt down the rebels in Upper Assam. The authority rested with the Burmese commanders, not the nominal king. Unhappy with the arrangement, Singh switched his allegiance to the British in April 1821, and tried to drive out the Burmese. His first attack on the Burmese garrison at Gauhati in September 1821 failed. But reinforced by British arms and personnel, Singh took Gauhati in January 1822, and marched to Jorhat. But the capital had been reinforced by a 20,000-strong army led by Bandula, who had just arrived. Bandula defeated Singh on 17 April 1822 at Mahgarh near Jorhat. Singh fell back to Gauhati but was defeated by Gen. Maha Thilawa on 3 June 1822. The fallen king fled to the British territory, and continued to make raids in the years leading to the First Anglo-Burmese War. Question about the article: ### Assistant: What was the outcome of Chandra Kanta Singh's attempt to drive out the Burmese from Assam and how did it lead to the First Anglo-Burmese War?

### Human: Information: - The Soviet Occupation Zone ("Sovetskaya okkupatsionnaya zona Germanii", "Soviet Occupation Zone of Germany") was the area of central Germany occupied by the Soviet Union from 1945 on, at the end of World War II. On 7 October 1949 the German Democratic Republic (GDR), which became commonly referred to as East Germany, was established in the Soviet Occupation Zone. - World War II (often abbreviated to WWII or WW2), also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, although related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the world's nationsincluding all of the great powerseventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of "total war", the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust (in which approximately 11 million people were killed) and the strategic bombing of industrial and population centres (in which approximately one million were killed, and which included the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki), it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history. - The OderNeisse line is the international border between Germany and Poland. It was drawn at the Potsdam Conference in the aftermath of the Second World War and is primarily delineated along the Oder and Lusatian Neisse rivers in Central Europe, meeting the Baltic Sea to the north, just west of the Polish seaports of Szczecin and winoujcie (German: "Stettin" and "Swinemünde"). All prewar German territory east of the line and within the 1937 German boundaries (23.8% of the former Weimar Republic) were placed under International Law Administrative status, with most of it being made part of newly-Communist Poland. The small remainder, consisting of the territory surrounding the German city of Königsberg (now renamed Kaliningrad, in honour of Soviet head of state Mikhail Kalinin) in northern East Prussia, was allocated to the Soviet Union (as Kaliningrad Oblast of the Russian SFSR, today the Russian Federation) after the war (pending the final World War II peace treaty for Germany). The vast majority of the native German population in these territories fled, or was killed or expelled by force. The OderNeisse line marked the border between the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) and Poland from 1950 to 1990. East Germany confirmed the border with Poland in 1950, while West Germany, after a period of refusal, finally accepted the border (with reservations) in 1970. In 1990 the newly reunified Germany and the Republic of Poland signed a treaty recognizing it as their border. - West Berlin was a city that existed in the period between the end of the Berlin Blockade on 12 May 1949 to German reunification on 3 October 1990 as a political enclave surrounded by East Berlin and East Germany. It was east of the Inner German border and only accessible by land from West Germany by narrow rail and highway corridors. It consisted of the American, British, and French occupation sectors established in 1945 and shared economic, political, legal, and sporting systems with West Germany, but was not "de jure" part of it. It had a special and unique legal status because its administration was formally conducted by the Western Allies. East Berlin, "de jure" occupied and administered by the Soviet Union, was the "de facto" capital of East Germany. The Berlin Wall, built in 1961, physically divided East and West Berlin until it fell in 1989. - North Korea, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK ), is a country in East Asia, in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. Pyongyang is both the nation's capital as well as its largest city. To the north and northwest the country is bordered by China and by Russia along the Amnok (known as the Yalu in China) and Tumen rivers. The country is bordered to the south by South Korea, with the heavily fortified Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating the two. - The Soviet Union, officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR " ) was a socialist state in Eurasia that existed from 1922 to 1991. A union of multiple subnational republics, its government and economy were highly centralized. The Soviet Union was a one-party federation, governed by the Communist Party with Moscow as its capital. - The Cold War was a state of political and military tension after World War II between powers in the Eastern Bloc (the Soviet Union and its satellite states) and powers in the Western Bloc (the United States, its NATO allies and others). Historians do not fully agree on the dates, but a common timeframe is the period (the second half of the 20th century) between 1947, the year the Truman Doctrine (a U.S. policy pledging to aid nations threatened by Soviet expansionism) was announced, and 1991, the year the Soviet Union collapsed. - The SKS is a Soviet semi-automatic carbine chambered for the 7.62 × 39mm round , designed in 1943 by Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov . Its complete designation , SKS - 45 , is an initialism for Samozaryadnyj Karabin sistemy Simonova , 1945 ( Russian : , 1945 ; Self - loading Carbine of ( the ) Simonov system , 1945 ) . In the early 1950s , the Soviets took the SKS carbine out of front - line service and replaced it with the AK - 47 ; however , the SKS remained in second - line service for decades . It is still used as a ceremonial firearm today . The SKS was widely exported , and was also produced by some former Eastern Bloc nations as well as China , where it was designated the `` Type 56 Carbine '' , East Germany as the Karabiner S and in North Korea as the `` Type 63 '' . The SKS is currently popular on the civilian surplus market as a hunting and marksmanship semi-automatic rifle in many countries , including the United States , Canada , and New Zealand . Its age and numbers make it very inexpensive to purchase . The SKS was the second firearm after the RPD chambered for the 7.62 × 39mm M43 round , which was later used for the AK - 47 . - Calgary is a city in the Canadian province of Alberta. It is situated at the confluence of the Bow River and the Elbow River in the south of the province, in an area of foothills and prairie, about east of the front ranges of the Canadian Rockies. In the 2011 census, the City of Calgary had a population of 1,096,833 and a metropolitan population of 1,214,839, making it the largest city in Alberta, and the third-largest municipality and fifth-largest census metropolitan area (CMA) in Canada. - Lieutenant-General Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov (10 November 1919  23 December 2013) was a Russian general, inventor, military engineer, writer and small arms designer. He is most famous for developing the AK-47 assault rifle and its improvements, the AKM and AK-74, as well as the PK machine gun. - The AK-47, or AK as it is officially known (also known as the Kalashnikov) is a selective-fire (semi-automatic and automatic), gas-operated 7.62×39 mm assault rifle, developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov. It is officially known in the Soviet documentation as "Avtomat Kalashnikova". - East Germany, formally the German Democratic Republic or GDR, was an Eastern Bloc state during the Cold War period. From 1949 to 1990, it administered the region of Germany that was occupied by Soviet forces at the end of World War IIthe Soviet Occupation Zone of the Potsdam Agreement, bounded on the east by the OderNeisse line. The Soviet zone surrounded West Berlin, but did not include it; as a result, West Berlin remained outside the jurisdiction of the GDR. The German Democratic Republic was established in the Soviet Zone, while the Federal Republic was established in the three western zones. East Germany was a satellite state of the Soviet Union. Soviet occupation authorities began transferring administrative responsibility to German communist leaders in 1948, and the GDR began to function as a state on 7 October 1949. Soviet forces, however, remained in the country throughout the Cold War. Until 1989, the GDR was governed by the Socialist Unity Party (SED), though other parties nominally participated in its alliance organisation, the National Front of Democratic Germany. - China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a unitary sovereign state in East Asia. With a population of over 1.381 billion, it is the world's most populous country. The state is governed by the Communist Party of China, and its capital is Beijing. It exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces, five autonomous regions, four direct-controlled municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Chongqing), and two mostly self-governing special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau), and claims sovereignty over Taiwan. The country's major urban areas include Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Tianjin and Hong Kong. China is a great power and a major regional power within Asia, and has been characterized as a potential superpower. - Canada (French: ) is a country in the northern half of North America. Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean, covering , making it the world's second-largest country by total area and the fourth-largest country by land area. Canada's border with the United States is the world's longest land border. The majority of the country has a cold or severely cold winter climate, but southerly areas are warm in summer.

The Warsaw Pact was the military complement to the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CoMEcon), the regional economic organization for the communist states of Central and Eastern Europe. The Warsaw Pact was created in reaction to the integration of West Germany into NATO in 1955 per the London and Paris Conferences of 1954, but it is also considered to have been motivated by Soviet desires to maintain control over military forces in Central and Eastern Europe. - The Eastern Bloc was the group of communist states of Central and Eastern Europe, generally the Soviet Union and the countries of the Warsaw Pact. The terms Communist Bloc and Soviet Bloc were also used to denote groupings of states aligned with the Soviet Union, although these terms might include states outside Central and Eastern Europe. - Toronto is the most populous city in Canada, the provincial capital of Ontario, and the centre of the Greater Toronto Area, the most populous metropolitan area in Canada.

The CPC is the sole governing party of China, although it coexists alongside eight other legal parties that comprise the United Front; these parties, however, hold no real power or independence from the CPC. It was founded in 1921, chiefly by Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao. The party grew quickly, and by 1949 the CPC had driven the nationalist Kuomintang (KMT) government from mainland China after the Chinese Civil War, thus leading to the establishment of the People's Republic of China. The CPC is currently the world's second largest political party with a membership of 88.76 million as of 2016 (while the Indian Bharatiya Janata Party appears to have remained the largest with a membership of 110 million as of the previous year, 2015).

Find the answer from the choices below. Choices: - 1919 - 1921 - 1922 - 1937 - 1939 - 1945 - 1947 - 1948 - 1949 - 1953 - 1955 - 1961 - 1970 - 1986 - 1989 - 1990 - 2011 - 2013 - may 1949 A: ### Assistant: The entity with which 'sks' exhibits the relationship of 'service retirement' is the Soviet Union. The SKS is a Soviet semi-automatic carbine chambered for the 7.62 × 39mm round, designed in 1943 by Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov. In the early 1950s, the Soviets took the SKS carbine out of front-line service and replaced it with the AK-47; however, the SKS remained in second-line service for decades. It is still used as a ceremonial firearm today. The SKS was widely exported and was also produced by some former Eastern Bloc nations as well as China, where it was designated the "Type 56 Carbine", East Germany as the Karabiner S and in North Korea as the "Type 63". The SKS is currently popular on the civilian surplus market as a hunting and marksmanship semi-automatic rifle in many countries, including the United States, Canada, and New Zealand. Its age and numbers make it very inexpensive to purchase. The SKS was the second firearm after the RPD chambered for the 7.62 × 39mm M43 round, which was later used for the AK-47. Therefore, the Soviet Union took the SKS carbine out of front-line service in the early 1950s, which indicates the relationship of 'service retirement'.

Many students at his school laugh at him when they notice scars on his arms from cutting. As he sees it, other kids have every right to make fun of him.

### Human: The Oakland Raiders earned their first win in more than a year on Thursday as rookie quarterback Derek Carr rallied the team with a late scoring drive to stun division rivals Kansas City 24-20. With the Raiders (1-10) trailing 20-17 in the fourth quarter, Carr marched the team 80 yards downfield in a drive that took seven minutes off the clock and culminated with a nine-yard touchdown pass to James Jones. Kansas City had little time to recover and could only make it to their own 48 yard line with their last possession, which ended with Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith throwing an incompletion on fourth down. VIDEO Scroll down for Oakland 24-20 OPTIONS: - Alex Smith: Raiders end year-long wait for a win - Carr: Raiders end year-long wait for a win - Chiefs: Raiders end year-long wait for a win - Derek Carr: Raiders end year-long wait for a win - James Jones: Raiders end year-long wait for a win - Kansas City: Raiders end year-long wait for a win - Kansas City Chiefs: Raiders end year-long wait for a win - Oakland Raiders: Raiders end year-long wait for a win - Raiders: Raiders end year-long wait for a win ### Assistant: The correct answer is: Oakland Raiders: Raiders end year-long wait for a win.

The article specifically mentions "With the Raiders (1-10) trailing 20-17 in the fourth quarter, Carr marched the team 80 yards downfield in a drive that took seven minutes off the clock and culminated with a nine-yard touchdown pass to James Jones." This indicates that it was the Oakland Raiders who won the game, not any of the other options. Therefore, options 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are incorrect. Option 2, "Carr: Raiders end year-long wait for a win," is partially correct in that Derek Carr played a key role in the win, but it does not identify the team that won.

Therefore, the takeaway from this passage is that Margulis' work on endosymbiosis has led her to believe that symbiosis plays a significant role in the evolution of life on Earth.

### Human: You are presented with the quiz "Cycles of freezing and thawing water help to make" But you don't know the answer, so you turn to your teacher to ask for hints. He says that "cycles of freezing and thawing water cause ice wedging" and "temperature change and ice wedging help to make soil". So, what's the best answer to the question? Answer: ### Assistant: The cycles of freezing and thawing water help to make soil. This is because the repeated freezing and thawing of water causes a process called ice wedging, where water seeps into cracks in rocks and soil and then freezes, expanding and widening the cracks. Over time, this process breaks down the rocks and soil into smaller particles, which eventually become soil. The temperature change and ice wedging work together to break down the rocks and soil, creating the conditions necessary for soil formation. Therefore, the answer to the quiz question is soil.

### Human: Please write a short summary for the following article: Hillary Clinton 'threw Bible at Secret Service agent's head' He says being assigned to protect Mrs Clinton “was a form of punishment handed down by passive-aggressive middle management.” Mrs Clinton is known for being poised, even too stiff in public, with campaign aides working to help her appear more relaxed before a crowd. But Mr Byrne describes the former first lady as being prone to all-consuming bouts of rage behind closed doors. “The First Lady had a different sort of liveliness,” he writes. “She once threw a Bible at an agent on her detail, hitting him in the back of the head.” “Most of us knew to brace for her inevitable eruptions. They didn’t happen every day, but behind closed doors we learned about them fast. In public, she was everyone’s best friend. Privately, she was her normal self.” Mrs Clinton repeatedly swore at Secret Service agents: “She’d explode in my face without reservation or decorum." She is reported to have told a Secret Service agent to “Go to hell”. In another instance, a uniformed officer said Mrs Clinton had told him to “Go f--- yourself" when he bid her good morning. The Telegraph has not been able to independently confirm the allegations made by Mr Byrne, and some of them are controversial. The book has been denounced by several current and former Secret Service members, who say Mr Byrne has inflated his role at the White House and that he would in reality not have been able to get so close to the president to see the things he claimed. This week the president of the Association of Former Agents of the United States Secret Service, a non-partisan group that rarely comments in public is set to issue a statement as a "self-moralising" narrative. They said it has made security more difficult because it erodes the trust between agents and the people they are supposed to protect. Mrs Clinton's campaign has not yet issued a response. Mr Byrne claims he was assigned to guard the Oval office for three years during Mr Clinton’s presidency. He was subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. In this detailed account, he describes the flirtations between the Mr Clinton and Ms Lewinsky as obvious for the staff to see. "Monica hung around us batting her eyes until she overheard the president's position or direction of travel, then bolted to maneuver into his path," he writes. "She lived for even his passing glance." The Secret Service agent said: "On one occasion, after Clinton sighted her, she turned back to ensure she had his attention – and flipped up her black-and-white print dress to reveal her blue thong. Clinton laughed and said, 'Hey, there!" In a bid to stop the two meeting Mr Byrne said, he had Ms Lewinsky, who was working as an intern in the White House, transferred to work for Mrs Clinton. But then, he said, Mr Clinton brought her back to his wing of the White House as a paid member of staff, and even provided a secret number for her to dial to reach him directly in the Oval office. "President Clinton paid for a White House mistress with taxpayer funds and jeopardised national security with her compromising and corruptible presence in a secure area, all for little more than on-demand oral sex," he writes. Summary: ### Assistant: A former Secret Service agent has claimed that Hillary Clinton threw a Bible at his head. Gary Byrne, who served in the White House during the Clinton administration, has written a book entitled “Crisis of Character” in which he describes the former First Lady as prone to “all-consuming bouts of rage”. Byrne also claims that Clinton repeatedly swore at Secret Service agents and that she told one to “Go to hell” and another to “Go f--- yourself”. The book has been criticised by some current and former Secret Service members who say that Byrne has inflated his role at the White House.

### Human: Question: "What happens if the capacitor can handle maximum amount of reversal?" Context: "For maximum life, capacitors usually need to be able to handle the maximum amount of reversal that a system will experience. An AC circuit will experience 100% voltage reversal, while under-damped DC circuits will experience less than 100%. Reversal creates excess electric fields in the dielectric, causes excess heating of both the dielectric and the conductors, and can dramatically shorten the life expectancy of the capacitor. Reversal ratings will often affect the design considerations for the capacitor, from the choice of dielectric materials and voltage ratings to the types of internal connections used." Answer: ### Assistant: If a capacitor is able to handle the maximum amount of reversal, it means that it is designed to withstand the full voltage reversal that a system will experience. This is particularly important in AC circuits, where the voltage continuously alternates between positive and negative values. In such circuits, the capacitor needs to be able to handle 100% voltage reversal. When a capacitor is subjected to voltage reversal, it creates excess electric fields in the dielectric material. This can lead to several issues. Firstly, the excess electric fields can cause the dielectric to break down, leading to a short circuit. This can result in the capacitor failing and potentially damaging other components in the circuit. Additionally, the excess electric fields can cause heating of both the dielectric material and the conductors within the capacitor. This excess heating can lead to a decrease in the overall performance and reliability of the capacitor. It can also cause the dielectric material to degrade over time, further reducing the lifespan of the capacitor. Therefore, if a capacitor is not able to handle the maximum amount of reversal, its life expectancy can be dramatically shortened. It is crucial to choose a capacitor with appropriate reversal ratings to ensure its longevity and reliable operation in the circuit. The reversal ratings of a capacitor often influence the design considerations for the capacitor. For example, the choice of dielectric material is important as different materials have varying abilities to withstand voltage reversal. The voltage rating of the capacitor is also a crucial factor to consider, as it needs to be able to handle the maximum voltage reversal that the system will experience. Furthermore, the types of internal connections used in the capacitor can be influenced by the reversal ratings. The internal connections need to be designed to handle the stress caused by voltage reversal, ensuring that they do not fail prematurely. In conclusion, if a capacitor is designed to handle the maximum amount of reversal, it can effectively withstand the voltage fluctuations in a circuit. This is crucial for the longevity and reliable operation of the capacitor. The reversal ratings of a capacitor impact various design considerations, including the choice of dielectric material, voltage rating, and internal connections. By selecting a capacitor with appropriate reversal ratings, the overall performance and lifespan of the capacitor can be optimized.

### Human: Background: Clarence White (born Clarence Joseph LeBlanc; June 7, 1944 - July 14, 1973), was an American bluegrass and country guitarist and singer. He is best known as a member of the bluegrass ensemble the Kentucky Colonels and the rock band the Byrds, as well as for being a pioneer of the musical genre of country rock during the late 1960s. White also worked extensively as a session musician, appearing on recordings by the Everly Brothers, Joe Cocker, Ricky Nelson, Pat Boone, the Monkees, Randy Newman, Gene Clark, Linda Ronstadt, Arlo Guthrie, and Jackson Browne amongst others. Together with frequent collaborator Gene Parsons, he invented the B-Bender, a guitar accessory that enables a player to mechanically bend the B-string up a whole tone and emulate the sound of a pedal steel guitar. Context: During 1964, White began to look beyond bluegrass music towards rock 'n' roll as an avenue for artistic expression. Although he was influenced by Country guitarists like Doc Watson, Don Reno and Joe Maphis, he also idolized the playing of jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, rock 'n' roller Chuck Berry, and studio musician James Burton. White even anticipated the viability of a folk/rock hybrid when, in the summer of 1964, he was approached by Jim Dickson to record a version of the then-unreleased Bob Dylan song "Mr. Tambourine Man" with electric instruments. However, despite White's enthusiasm for the project, he was unable to convince his bandmates in the Kentucky Colonels of the experiment's validity and ultimately, the song was instead recorded by Dickson's proteges, the Byrds. By the time the original line-up of the Kentucky Colonels folded in late 1965, White had become a respected and well-known guitarist. Abandoning bluegrass temporarily, he switched from his Martin D-28 acoustic guitar to an electric Fender Telecaster, with the intention of becoming a studio musician like his hero James Burton. Transitioning to electric guitar required White to modify his right hand playing technique, switch from open chording to fretting the whole guitar neck with his left hand, and practice using the tone and volume controls. However, he soon mastered the intricacies of the instrument and, between 1965 and 1968, he undertook session work for artists including Ricky Nelson, the Monkees, and the Gosdin Brothers. As 1965 turned into 1966, White met Gene Parsons and Gib Guilbeau at a recording session for the Gosdin Brothers and shortly after, he began to perform live with the duo in local California clubs, as well as doing regular session work on their records, which were released under the moniker of Cajun Gib and Gene. 1966 also saw White begin playing with a country group called Trio, which featured drummer Bart Haney and former Kentucky Colonel, Roger Bush, on bass. In autumn of that year, as a result of his friendship with Gilbeau, Parsons and the Gosdin Brothers, White was asked to provide lead guitar to ex-Byrd Gene Clark's debut solo album, Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers. White also briefly joined Clark's touring band shortly thereafter. During the Clark album sessions, White reconnected with mandolin player and bassist Chris Hillman, who he had known during the early 1960s as a member of the bluegrass combo the Hillmen. Hillman was currently a member of the Byrds and in December 1966, he invited White to contribute countrified lead guitar playing to his songs "Time Between" and "The Girl with no Name", which both appeared on the Byrds' Younger Than Yesterday album. The country-oriented nature of the songs was something of a stylistic departure for the group and can be seen as an early indicator of the experimentation with country music that would color the Byrds' subsequent work. White also contributed guitar to the band's follow-up album, The Notorious Byrd Brothers, and to their seminal 1968 country rock release, Sweetheart of the Rodeo. Question: Any other songs during this time? Answer: ### Assistant: Yes, during this time Clarence White also contributed guitar to several other songs. In addition to "Time Between" and "The Girl with no Name" on the Byrds' Younger Than Yesterday album, he also played on "Goin' Back" and "Mind Gardens" on the same album. He also played on "Wasn't Born to Follow" and "Change Is Now" on the Notorious Byrd Brothers album, and on several tracks on the Sweetheart of the Rodeo album, including "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere", "One Hundred Years from Now", and "Hickory Wind".

### Human: Here is an article: "Big, unwieldy, and expensive." That was how the CRTC described the cable packages you've been shelling out for. And starting today, TV providers have been forced to offer up a cheaper option — what's being called "skinny basic." Essentially, it's a handful of channels for $25, with a focus on Canadian and local networks. That'll be followed by a second stage in December where you can add other channels and pay à la carte. When it comes into full effect, some industry insiders worry jobs will be lost and channels could die. The new TV packages may look like a deal. But according to CBC News, in many cases, when customers add on extras and pick-and-pay channels, the price can soar to even more than what they're paying now. Steve Faguy, a Montreal media blogger and writer for the Montreal Gazette, gives us the skinny on the brave new world of cable.

### Human: Here is a news article: In December of last year, a time when Paul Ryan must have known that he would be on any candidate's V.P. short list, Time approached the Wisconsin congressman about posing for a series of intimate weightlifting photos, and he was like, "Yeah, sure, I can't see why not." Somehow, Time managed to hold off releasing them until now, in its latest issue, which probably took a lot of willpower because, well, look at this photo. Is this any less silly than Dukakis in the tank or Kerry in the Woody Allen sperm suit? It's like the mimbo from Seinfeld is running for vice-president. ("Hey, Biden, you better step off.") And what's happening in this one here? Ryan looks like he's in a low-budget boy-band video. ||||| The Prohibition era in America, which lasted for well over a decade and—inconceivable as it might be today—effectively banned the sale and production of booze in the United States, ended with the ratification of the 21st Amendment on Dec. 5, 1933. ||||| Paul Ryan P90x Meme Talk about the right to bear arms. Paul Ryan, the Republican nominee for vice president, was nominated for Time Magazine's Person of the Year in 2012. He didn't win the honor, but he did pose for a photo shoot about his P90x workout routine. The photos, which were never published before now, are being featured in a profile of the candidate in this week's issue. The photos appeared online for the first time today, and netizens have reacted both accordingly and predictably. Political Twitter parody accounts are all the rage right now, which makes the nearly immediate creation of the twitter account @PaulRyansBicep an obvious choice. The account has been tweeting gems such as this one for the past hour: Has a VP candidate ever worn a sleeveless tee to a debate? — Paul Ryan's Bicep (@PaulRyansBicep) October 11, 2012 Other people have just taken to playfully poking fun at the photos on Twitter, creating memes and compiling image mashups.

You can mark this as one more data point in the critical debate over Ryan's workout routine, his unbelievable 6 percent body fat, and whether it's better to be jacked or ripped. Unfortunately, the Time photos do not display Ryan's wildly famous but as-yet-unseen killer abs. The photos were taken in December last year, when Ryan was a finalist for the magazine's Person of the Year, and when documenting his elusive abs was not such a pressing election issue. Gazing at Ryan's admirable muscle mass, you can't help but think of Sarah Palin's modeling of tights and shortish shorts for Runner's World. Both are a slightly awkward, somewhat self-conscious attempt to bring some youth and sexiness to a Republican brand. But Palin, at least, waited until June 2009 -- when it was safe to fan speculation about her own presidential candidacy long after John McCain lost the 2008 race. The day of the vice-presidential debate, Ryan might not want to encourage that comparison. Want to add to this story?

### Human: Based on the sentence "a kid is stretching his food out of his mouth.", is the sentence "A kid is drinking water." a true sentence? ### Assistant: Yes, the sentence "A kid is drinking water." can be considered a true sentence. This is because the sentence describes an action that is completely unrelated to the action described in the first sentence. The fact that a kid is stretching his food out of his mouth does not have any bearing on whether or not another kid is drinking water. Therefore, the second sentence can be considered true without any contradiction or conflict with the first sentence.

### Human: Answer the following question: U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday blasted former FBI director James Comey as an "untruthful slime ball," and said it was his "great honor" to fire him. Trump's barrage of insults comes as Comey engages in a publicity campaign for his book, "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership," which is set to be released next week. The memoir promises a deep look at Comey's fraught relationship with the U.S. president who fired him, and whom Comey has accused of interfering in the independence of the FBI. On Twitter, Trump said Comey should be prosecuted. Trump's comments are in line with an online campaign, organized by his supporters, to discredit Comey. The Republican National Committee on Thursday launched a new website, Lyin'Comey.com, which features quotes from prominent Democrats who have criticized the former FBI director in the past. The GOP plans to fact-check Comey's book and use the website for "rapid response" to highlight any "misstatements" or "contradictions," Fox News reports. Comey's book blasts Trump as unethical and "untethered to truth'' and calls his leadership of the country "ego driven and about personal loyalty.'' The book also contains several personal jabs at Trump, including references to what Comey says are the "bright white half-moons" under Trump's eyes, which he surmises were the result of Trump using tanning goggles. Comey also casts Trump as a Mafia boss-like figure who sought to blur the line between law enforcement and politics, and tried to pressure him regarding his investigation into Russian election interference, according to multiple early reviews of the book. Trump fired Comey in May 2017, setting off a storm of charges from Democrats that the president sought to hinder an investigation into whether his campaign colluded with Russians. The firing led to the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel overseeing the Russia investigation. Mueller's probe has expanded to include whether Trump obstructed justice by firing Comey, an idea the president denies. Trump has... According to the above context, answer the following question. What is probably true about Trump? OPTIONS: A). He only likes people who are dedicated to him. B). He likes people who start investigations about him. C). He likes people who tell him he is a liar.

The parents of an aspiring weatherman who died from a gunshot wound to the head have slammed a police investigation into his death as 'a whitewash' after it ruled their son took his own life. Bill and Therese Engelhardt said they are now hiring a private investigator to look into the death of their son Timothy. The distraught couple said they are disgusted by the report which blames the 22-year-old for his own death. An 'extensive investigation' into the young man's death by police in Florida ruled that he had been ranting about suicide at a friend's home before grabbing the barrel of a loaded gun and pointing it at his head. He had gone to a friend's house in nearby ### Assistant: Florida and was talking about wanting to hurt himself. He then grabbed a gun and pointed it at his head, which caused him to die.

### Human: Q: What kind of biome or climate might you find very close to the earth's poles, as well as up on high mountains? A: Answer: ### Assistant: The biome or climate that you might find very close to the Earth's poles, as well as up on high mountains, is called the tundra biome. The tundra biome is characterized by cold temperatures, low precipitation, and permafrost (permanently frozen soil). The vegetation in the tundra biome is typically low-growing and includes mosses, lichens, and shrubs. The tundra biome is also home to a variety of animals, such as polar bears, arctic foxes, and reindeer. The high altitude of mountains can create similar conditions to the tundra biome, with cold temperatures and low precipitation, resulting in alpine tundra.

### Human: Write an article based on this summary: – A female shark paid her male roommate the ultimate insult Thursday in a South Korean aquarium: She ate the guy. And when the aquarium reopened Friday, only his tail was sticking out of her mouth. It's unclear why the seven-foot-long sand tiger shark slowly ate the smaller male at Seoul's COEX aquarium, but aquarium PR manager Oh Tae-youp suggests territorial issues. "Sharks have their own territory," he tells Reuters. "However, sometimes when they bump against each other, they bite out of astonishment." He adds that the 8-year-old female likely swallowed the 5-year-old male whole, "because they usually eat it all when they bite the head part." Another spokesman for COEX agrees it could be territorial, because sand tiger sharks get more territorial during breeding periods, per AFP. But he says she'll probably regurgitate the shark because she won't be able to digest him all at once. "But that could take up to a week," he says. Article: ### Assistant: In a shocking incident at a South Korean aquarium, a female sand tiger shark devoured her male roommate. The incident occurred on Thursday at the COEX aquarium in Seoul, and when the aquarium reopened on Friday, only the male shark's tail was visible, sticking out of the female's mouth. The reason behind the attack is unclear, but aquarium PR manager Oh Tae-youp suggests that it could be due to territorial issues. Sharks are known to have their own territory, and when they bump into each other, they can bite out of astonishment. The 8-year-old female shark likely swallowed the 5-year-old male whole, as they usually eat the entire prey when they bite the head part. Another spokesperson for COEX agrees that it could be due to territorial issues, as sand tiger sharks become more territorial during breeding periods. However, the spokesperson also suggests that the female shark may regurgitate the male shark because she won't be able to digest him all at once. But this could take up to a week. The incident has left aquarium staff and visitors shocked and saddened. This incident highlights the importance of understanding animal behavior and their territorial instincts. It also raises questions about the safety of keeping different species of animals together in confined spaces. While aquariums and zoos play an important role in educating people about animals, incidents like this serve as a reminder that we need to be mindful of the animals' natural instincts and behaviors. In conclusion, the incident at the COEX aquarium in Seoul is a tragic reminder of the importance of understanding animal behavior and respecting their natural instincts. It is also a reminder that we need to be mindful of the safety of animals in captivity and ensure that they are kept in environments that are suitable for their needs.

### Human: Bin Laden reportedly discussed the planes operation with KSM and Atef in a series of meetings in the spring of 1999 at the al Matar complex near Kandahar. KSM's original concept of using one of the hijacked planes to make a media statement was scrapped, but Bin Laden considered the basic idea feasible. Bin Laden, Atef, and KSM developed an initial list of targets. These included the White House, the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, and the World Trade Center. According to KSM, Bin Laden wanted to destroy the White House and the Pentagon, KSM wanted to strike the World Trade Center, and all of them wanted to hit the Capitol. No one else was involved in the initial selection of targets. Bin Laden also soon selected four individuals to serve as suicide operatives: Khalid al Mihdhar, Nawaf al Hazmi, Khallad, and Abu Bara al Yemeni. During the al Matar meetings, Bin Laden told KSM that Mihdhar and Hazmi were so eager to participate in an operation against the United States that they had already obtained U.S. visas. KSM states that they had done so on their own after the suicide of their friend Azzam (Nashiri's cousin) in carrying out the Nairobi bombing. KSM had not met them. His only guidance from Bin Laden was that the two should eventually go to the United States for pilot training. Hazmi and Mihdhar were Saudi nationals, born in Mecca. Like the others in this initial group of selectees, they were already experienced mujahideen. They had traveled together to fight in Bosnia in a group that journeyed to the Balkans in 1995. By the time Hazmi and Mihdhar were assigned to the planes operation in early 1999, they had visited Afghanistan on several occasions. Khallad was another veteran mujahid, like much of his family. His father had been expelled from Yemen because of his extremist views. Khallad had grown up in Saudi Arabia, where his father knew Bin Laden, Abdullah Azzam, and Omar Abdel Rahman (the "Blind Sheikh"). Choose from options: Based on the paragraph, does the response "No, only the Pentagon and US Capitol" correctly answer the question "Was the white house on the initial list of targets developed by KSM, Atef, and Bin Laden?"? Available options: (a). no (b). yes ### Assistant: The correct answer is (a) no. The White House was included in the initial list of targets developed by KSM, Atef, and Bin Laden.

### Human: News article: Luxor (Egypt) (AFP) - Scans of King Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings point to a secret chamber, archaeologists said Saturday, possibly heralding the discovery of Queen Nefertiti's long-sought mummy. Using hi-tech infrared and radar technology, researchers are trying to unravel the mystery over the legendary monarch's resting place. A wife of Tutankhamun's father Akhenaten, Nefertiti played a major political and religious role in the 14th century BC, and the discovery of her tomb would be a major prize for Egyptologists. Experts are now "approximately 90 percent" sure there is a hidden chamber in Tutankhamun's tomb, Antiquities Minister Mamduh al-Damati told a news conference. The scans were spurred by a study by renowned British archaeologist Nicholas Reeves that said Nefertiti's lost tomb may be hidden in an adjoining chamber. Speaking at the same press conference, Reeves said the initial results could bear out his theory. View gallery Johanna Gassmann paints a replica of the bust of Nefertiti in Berlin on October 2, 2015 (AFP Photo/J … "Clearly it does look from the radar evidence as if the tomb continues, as I have predicted," he said. "The radar, behind the north wall (of Tutankhamun's burial chamber) seems pretty clear. If I am right it is a continuation -- corridor continuation -- of the tomb, which will end in another burial chamber," he said. "It does look indeed as if the tomb of Tutankhamun is a corridor tomb... and it continues beyond the decorated burial chamber," he added. "I think it is Nefertiti and all the evidence points in that direction." - Cult of sun god - View gallery Tourists visit the Valley of the Kings (AFP Photo/Khaled Desouki) Damati emphasised that the findings were "preliminary" results, and a Japanese expert working with the archaeologists needed a month to analyse the scans. Experts carried out a preliminary scan of the tomb earlier this month using infra-red thermography to map out the temperature of its walls. Damati said at that time that the analysis showed "differences in the temperatures registered on different parts of the northern wall" of the tomb. But the minister and Reeves had differed on whose mummy they expected to find. According to Reeves, professor of archaeology at the University of Arizona, Tutankhamun, who died unexpectedly, was buried hurriedly in an underground chamber probably not intended for him. View gallery The golden sarcophagus of King Tutankhamun in his burial chamber at the Valley of the Kings (AFP Pho … The boy king died aged 19 in 1324 BC after just nine years on the throne. His final resting place was discovered by another British Egyptologist, Howard Carter, in 1922. Reeves's theory is that priests would have been forced to reopen Nefertiti's tomb 10 years after her death because the young pharaoh's own mausoleum had not yet been built. But Damati believes that such a chamber, if found adjoining Tutankhamun's tomb, may contain Kiya, another of Akhenaten's wives. Akhenaten is known for having temporarily converted ancient Egypt to monotheism by imposing the cult of sun god Aton. Nefertiti's role in the cult would have ruled out her burial in the Valley of the Kings according to Zahi Hawass, the country's former antiquities minister and expert on ancient Egypt. "Nefertiti will never be buried in the Valley of the Kings," he told AFP. "The lady was worshipping Aton with Akhenaten for years. The priests would never allow her to be buried in the Valley of the Kings," he said. Hawass also questioned how archaeologists would enter the hidden part of the tomb without causing damage. Damati said that after the analysis, that would be the next challenge. "The data is being analysed to get a clear picture of what's behind the wall," he said. "The next step, which we will announce once we agree on it, will be accessing what's behind the wall without damaging the tomb," he said. ||||| Image copyright AFP Image caption Tutankhamun may have been Nefertiti's son Egyptian officials now say they are "90% sure" that there is a hidden chamber in King Tutankhamun's tomb. The Antiquities Ministry said it had carried out scans to gather more information about the theory. Archaeologist Nicholas Reeves believes Tutankhamun's remains may have been rushed into an outer chamber of what was originally Queen Nefertiti's tomb. The remains of Tutankhamun, who may have been her son, were found in 1922. He died 3,000 years ago aged 19. Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption The BBC's Orla Guerin reports from King Tutankhamun's burial chamber in Luxor: ''This chamber has been the focus of intense interest'' "Clearly it does look from the radar evidence as if the tomb continues, as I have predicted," Dr Reeves said at a press conference with the Egyptian Antiquities Minister Mamdouh al-Damati on Saturday, AFP reports. "The radar, behind the north wall [of Tutankhamun's burial chamber] seems pretty clear. If I am right it is a continuation - corridor continuation - of the tomb, which will end in another burial chamber," he said. Mr Damati said the scans would now be sent to Japan for further analysis. Dr Reeves developed his theory after the Spanish artistic and preservation specialists, Factum Arte, were commissioned to produce detailed scans of Tutankhamun's tomb. The scans were then used to produce a facsimile of the 3,300-year-old tomb near the site of the original Valley of the Kings in Luxor. While assessing the scans last February, Dr Reeves spotted what he believed were marks indicating where two doorways used to be. The archaeologist from the University of Arizona says he believes Nefertiti may lie inside. Tutankhamun's tomb was the most intact ever discovered in Egypt. Close to 2,000 objects were found inside. But its layout has been a puzzle for some time - in particular, why it was smaller than those of other kings' tombs. Dr Reeves believes there are clues in the design of the tomb that indicate it was designed to store the remains of a queen, not a king. His theory has yet to be peer-reviewed and leading Egyptologists have urged caution over the conclusion.

The last, and longest, glimpse features a boy who wakes up in a hospital next to several corpses, reading Michail Lermontov's A Hero of Our Time ("Vår Tids Hjälte" in the film), and caressing a blurry image of Elisabet and/or Alma's faces.A young nurse, Alma (portrayed by Bibi Andersson), is summoned by the head doctor and charged with the care of stage actress Elisabet Vogler (portrayed by Liv Ullmann), who has, despite the lack of any diagnosed impairment, become mute. The hospital administrator (portrayed by Margaretha Krook) offers her own seaside cottage as a place for Alma to nurse Elisabet back to health. Though Elisabet is nearly catatonic when the film begins, she does react with extreme panic upon seeing a Vietnamese Buddhist monk's self-immolation on television, and laughs mockingly at Alma's radio soap opera.

### Human: Suggest a movie title for the following movie plot: The film opens in 1950, five years after the capture of Puyi by the Red Army when the Soviet Union entered the Pacific War in 1945 and his having been kept in their custody. In the recently established People's Republic of China, Puyi arrives as a political prisoner and war criminal at the Fushun Prison. Soon after his arrival, Puyi attempts suicide, which only renders him unconscious. In the first of a series of flashbacks between 1950 and various prior times, Puyi relives his being summoned to the Forbidden City in 1908, aged two, by the dying Empress Dowager Cixi. With her last words, at an audience with Puyi and his father, Cixi announces that Puyi will be the new emperor. After his coronation, Puyi, frightened by his new surroundings, repeatedly expresses his wish to go home, which is denied him. Despite having scores of palace eunuchs and maids to wait on him, his only real friend is his wet nurse, who accompanied him and his father to the palace on the Empress Dowager's summons. The next section of the film continues the series of chronological flashbacks showing Puyi's early life: from his imperial upbringing in the Forbidden City with his younger brother, Pujie, during the Republican era, his tutelage under the kindly Scotsman, Reginald Johnston and his marriage to Wanrong, to his subsequent exile in Tientsin following the Beijing Coup, his Japanese-supported puppet reign of Manchukuo, and then his capture by the Red Army – all of which are intermixed with flash-forwards portraying his prison life in the 1950s. Under the "Communist re-education programme" for political prisoners, Puyi is coerced by his interrogators to formally renounce his forced collaboration with the Japanese invaders for war crimes during the Second Sino-Japanese War.

### Human: Three girls (an all-female media-crew, including cult-actress Barbara Bach, no less) visiting a small town to cover a festival, end up renting rooms in a house they should have avoided like the plague. Well-made little shocker, suffering a bit from some redundant dialogue-scenes and a rather thin plot-line (that doesn't do very well in hiding its secrets). One underlying theme in particular is quite disturbing (as in: vintage shock-material), and this is basically what the film thrives on. Performances & cinematography are pretty much above par (compared to many other late 70's/early 80's films in the same vein), but what really makes me recommend this film is the fairly long climax-scene in the basement-setting. From the moment that "Keller Junior" character was introduced, his performance made my jaw drop open and it didn't close until the end of the film. A very pleasant surprise to see actor Sydney Lassick (who was funnily wacko in "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's nest", and now utterly demented in "The Unseen") take on one of the leading roles.

### Human: Question: After the Japanese leave where does Miller hide the girls? If there is no answer, please output "Insufficient information to provide an answer.". Movie title: The Flowers of War Context: In 1937, Japan invades China, beginning the Second Sino-Japanese War. The Japanese Imperial Army overruns China's capital city, Nanking, in December and carries out the systematic and brutal Nanking massacre. As the invading Japanese overpower the Chinese army, desperate schoolgirls flee to the nominally protective walls of their convent at a Western-run Roman Catholic cathedral. Here, John Miller (Bale), an American mortician on a task to bury the head priest, joins the group of innocent schoolgirls. He finds a boy there, George, an orphan who was raised by the dead priest, and taught English. The boy is the same age as the schoolgirls. Soon a group of flamboyant prostitutes arrive at the cathedral, seeking refuge by hiding in the cellar. Pretending to be a priest, Miller tries to keep everyone safe while trying to repair the convent's truck to use for an escape. After an incident when rogue Japanese forces assault the cathedral (who are then killed by the dying effort of a lone Chinese Major), Japanese Colonel Hasegawa promises to protect the convent by placing guards outside the gate, and requests that the schoolgirls sing a chorale for him. Several days later, he hands Miller an official invitation for the schoolgirls to sing at the Japanese Army's victory celebration. Fearing for the safety of the virginal schoolgirls, Miller declines. Hasegawa informs him that it is an order and that the girls are going to be picked up the next day. Before they leave, the Japanese soldiers count the schoolgirls and erroneously include one of the prostitutes (who has strayed from the cellar), totalling 13. When the de facto leader of the schoolgirls, Shu Juan (Xinyi), convinces them that they are better off committing suicide by jumping off the cathedral tower, they are saved at the last moment when the de facto leader of the prostitutes, Yu Mo (Ni), convinces her group to protect the schoolgirls by taking their place at the Japanese party. As there are only 12 prostitutes, George, the dead priest's adoptive son,... Answer: ### Assistant: After the Japanese forces leave the cathedral, Miller is faced with the daunting task of finding a safe hiding place for the girls. With the threat of the Japanese soldiers returning and the impending danger they pose, Miller understands the urgency of the situation and the need to protect the innocent schoolgirls under his care. Given the limited options available within the cathedral, Miller begins to explore alternative hiding spots that could provide temporary refuge for the girls. He consults with the remaining adults in the group, including the prostitutes who have sought shelter in the cellar, to gather their insights and suggestions. One possible hiding place that Miller considers is the underground tunnels beneath the cathedral. These tunnels, which were used for various purposes in the past, could potentially serve as a secure location for the girls to hide until it is safe to leave. Miller and a few others venture into the tunnels to assess their suitability and ensure they are free from any potential dangers or obstructions. Another option that Miller explores is the surrounding area outside the cathedral. He scouts the nearby buildings and structures, searching for any hidden rooms or spaces that could accommodate the girls. This involves carefully navigating the war-torn city and assessing the safety of each potential hiding spot. Miller also reaches out to local contacts and resistance fighters who may have knowledge of safe houses or secret locations where the girls could be hidden. He understands the importance of leveraging the resources and connections available to him in order to ensure the girls' safety. Ultimately, Miller decides to hide the girls in a nearby abandoned building that has been fortified and secured by the resistance fighters. This building provides a relatively safe and discreet location for the girls to stay until the immediate danger has passed. Miller and the other adults in the group work together to make the necessary arrangements and ensure the girls are comfortable and protected. Throughout this process, Miller remains vigilant and cautious, constantly assessing the risks and adapting his plans as needed. He understands the gravity of the situation and the responsibility he has to protect the girls from harm. Despite the challenges and uncertainties they face, Miller's resourcefulness and determination enable him to find a suitable hiding place for the girls, offering them a glimmer of hope in the midst of the chaos and brutality of war.

### Human: Math Problem Solve -124*l + 38*l + 747 - 231 = 0 for l. ### Assistant: To solve the equation -124*l + 38*l + 747 - 231 = 0 for l, we need to simplify the left-hand side of the equation by combining like terms. Starting with -124*l + 38*l, we can simplify this expression by subtracting 124 from 38, which gives us -86*l. Substituting this simplified expression back into the original equation, we get: -86*l + 747 - 231 = 0 Next, we can simplify the expression 747 - 231 by subtracting 231 from 747, which gives us 516. Substituting this simplified expression back into the equation, we get: -86*l + 516 = 0 To solve for l, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 516 from both sides of the equation: -86*l = -516 Finally, we can solve for l by dividing both sides of the equation by -86: l = 6 Therefore, the solution to the equation -124*l + 38*l + 747 - 231 = 0 is l = 6.

### Human: Thanks Richard for asking. Yes. I have something to tell. We have record rainfall during 24 hours in Lahore, breaking previous one day record by more than 60%. Our drainage system is pathetic. Other systems such as telephone, electricity, cable etc. are no better. Poor planning has further been aggravated by extremely mismanaged maintenance and operational bugs. This morning, when I was out for our fajr (morning prayers) in masjid, a neighbor told me that the pole laden with electricity meters was under fire. After that he buzzed off for complaint office. When I returned after prayers, I saw fire reaching cable part after meter; one meter had caught fire and other meters (including ours) was in danger of catching fire. It was still dark. I waited for someone to come out. No one appeared. I came inside and told my wife about and went again out to see if I could find someone to go about extinguishing fire. IT WAS DAM RISKY AS DIGGING WAS DONE BY TELEPHONE COMPANY AND RAINS HAD MADE A MESS ON OUR STREET. No one was seen. My wife came out; brought hose pipe. I managed to use it as water gun and there was some post-extinguishing sparking; fire was put out. I want to add here that hose pipe should only be used when someone knows how to send bursts of water so that electric current cannot build a circuit. Later in day we heard about the most stupid thing; people were inside their houses, watching flames from pole but not knowing what to do. THEY DID NOT EVEN COME OUT TO SHARE THE ACTIVITY. That has happened today. I am going to ask everyone about it one by one. Also, I am still looking for the guy who went to complaint office and was never seen thereafter this morning. That can happen to anybody. Question: Who asked the narrator to describe this event? Options: A. not enough information B. Richard C. His wife D. His neighbor === The correct answer is ### Assistant: B. Richard

### Human: Given the question: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: The man behind the Apple empire died at 56 last year. He was one of the people who made Silicon Valley the capital of technological invention. Author and business consultant Jim Collins once called Jobs the "Beethoven of business". When asked what Steve Jobs will be best remembered for, many of us would name a particular product:the iPod, the iPhone or the iPad, for example. But in the eyes of Eric Jackson, a reporter with Forbes magazine, Jobs brought the world much more than these popular devices . Here are some of the lessons he taught us: 1. The most lasting inventions mix art and science. Jobs pointed out that the team members working with Apple were trained in anthropology , art, history, and poetry. He believed this was important in making Apple's products stand out. 2. Never fear failure. Jobs was fired by the successor he himself chose. It was one of the most public embarrassments of the last 30 years in business. However, Jobs didn't hide away or try to get a new job. He _ and got back to work. 3. You can't look forward to connecting the dots--you can only look backward. This means that, however much we try to plan things ahead of time, life is always full of unexpected things. What seems like bitter pain and defeat could turn out to sow the seeds of unimaginable success in years to come. You can't connect the dots looking forward. But you have to trust that all the dots will be connected in the future. 4. Listen to that voice in tile back of your head that tells you if you're on the right track or not. Most of us simply decide that we're going to work in finance or become a doctor because it's what our parents tell us to do. Whatever your voice is telling you, it is smart to listen to it--like Jobs did. Just as Caroline and Amy from his empire put it, "Steve was one of the most inspiring yet toughest boss ever--but who else could have built Apple? What Steve left is sure to inspire generations of creative thinkers to think differently. His influence will be felt throughout the world." Question: What's the writer's main purpose of writing the passage? Options: A: To introduce readers the life story of Steve Jobs. B: To tell readers Steve Jobs is the "Beethoven of business". C: To encourage readers to learn from Steve Jobs' life experience. D: To persuade readers that they shouldn't always follow what parents tell them to do. The answer is: ### Assistant: C: To encourage readers to learn from Steve Jobs' life experience.

### Human: Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Canelo Álvarez, billed as "The One", was a boxing light middleweight championship superfight. The bout was held on September 14, 2013, in the MGM Grand Garden Arena, at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, on Showtime PPV. Mayweather received $41.5 million for this fight before taking into account pay-per-view sales. Based on the paragraph above can we conclude that "Pay per view sales were not added in to the total amount of money that Mayweather recieived making the total he received more than $41 million dollars."? ### Assistant: Yes, that is correct! The paragraph states that Mayweather received $41.5 million for the fight "before taking into account pay-per-view sales." This means that the total amount of money he received could be even higher once the pay-per-view sales are factored in.

### Human: I know that the answer to the question "What happened ten years ago?" is in "Many Pygmies belong from birth to Bantus in a relationship many refer to as slavery. The Congolese Human Rights Observatory says that the Pygmies are treated as property the same way "pets" are. On December 30, 2010, the Congolese parliament adopted a law for the promotion and protection of the rights of indigenous peoples. This law is the first of its kind in Africa, and its adoption is a historic development for indigenous peoples on the continent.". Can you tell me what it is?

However, the text mentions that on December 30, 2010, the Congolese parliament adopted a law for the promotion and protection of the rights of indigenous peoples. This law is significant because it is the first of its kind in Africa and is a historic development for indigenous peoples on the continent.

### Human: Answer the following question: Mayor Boris Johnson Monday outlined plans to make London "the cleanest, greenest city on Earth" by the 2012 Olympics and called for commitments from other world cities at a climate change conference, leaders of the world' s 40 largest cities are meeting in Seoul this week for a summit on combating global warming -- the third to be held since 2005. "What we should do in Seoul is agree that we will stop the endless addiction of mankind to the internal combustion engine ," said Johnson. He said at a press conference the world's cities consume 75 percent of the world's energy and produce 80 percent of the emissions which cause climate change. "The problem of our planet is an urban problem," Johnson said. He said the British capital wants to use the Olympics "to drive the greening and the improvement of our city" and noted that London is committed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 60 percent by 2025. Johnson said the key measure was being taken to solve problems relating to housing and commercial buildings, which accounted for 70 percent of carbon dioxide emissions in London. This involved retrofitting -- installing lagging -- in large numbers of public buildings. Johnson proclaimed himself a "passionate cyclist" and said he would push ahead with cycle superhighways around London. London's air quality problem, he said, was caused by vehicle emissions from 8,300 worn and used diesel buses, which could be replaced by low-carbon vehicles. In addition, there were also 32,000 taxis running on diesel fuel, which could be replaced by electric vehicles. Johnson said there would be a few programs in the next few years to produce a "cleaner, greener" bus for the city. "The age of the diesel bus has got to be over in London." If the passage was continually written, the following might be _ . A) measures to end the age of the diesel bus B) measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in London C) measures to solve housing and commercial items D) measures to replace the old and used vehicles Answer: ### Assistant: The correct answer is D) measures to replace the old and used vehicles.

The second sentence, on the other hand, makes a comparison between the humidity where the user is and the humidity where the speaker is, without any context or reference to the first sentence. Therefore, the two sentences are not logically connected.
